With the recent dissolution of
more than 400 redevelopment agen-
cies across the state, support for
affordable housing will be dimin-
ished by at least $1 billion annually.
To make up the shortfall, a Bay
Area lawmaker is proposing to
impose a $75 fee on documents
recorded by real
estate agents in
the state to raise
about $700 mil-
lion annually.
Initially, the
C a l i f o r n i a
Association of
R e a l t o r s
opposed the bill
but modifica-
tions to it have now made the legis-
lation more palatable for real estate
agents since the fee will neither be
imposed on the transfer or sale of
real property nor will it impose a
transfer tax in the form of a point-
of-sale document recording fee.
The fee will be imposed on other
documents, however, such as grant
deeds or notices of default.
The Housing Opportunity and
Market Stabilization Trust Fund,
Senate Bill 1220, authored by state
Sen. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord,
has the broad support of affordable
housing advocates including the
Housing Leadership Council of San
Mateo County, Silicon Valley
Leadership Group and Foster City-
based MidPen Housing.
It is opposed by the California
Taxpayers Association, however,
since the documents and proposed
fees have no relation whatsoever to
affordable housing, said spokesman
David Kline.
They call it a fee but it is a tax,
Kline told the Daily Journal
Wednesday.
Affordable housing should be
paid for out of the states general

A former greeter at Home Depot
in East Palo Alto is suing the build-
ing chain, claiming the company
broke state labor law by not provid-
ing him or any other worker a seat
when they welcome customers to
the store.
The class action lawsuit, led on
behalf of Kunaal Sharma, is similar
to previous claims in the last few
years lodged against big-box retail
stores, including Home Depot,
Target and 99 Cents Only, over
employees rights to suitable seat-
ing. The suit seeks penalties on
behalf of Sharma and other current
and former Home Depot greeters
similarly denied a seat from Feb. 7,
2011 to the present.
There is no reason why that work
cant be accomplished from a nice
ergonomically designed chair or
stool with their feet up but these
companies feel the employees can-
not give top-level customer service,
said attorney Matthew Righetti who
led the suit April 11 on Sharmas
behalf.

In 1970, Earth Day was observed
in San Francisco and a handful of
other cities for the rst time any-
where in the world.
It is a day celebrated across the
globe now in which emphasis is put
on the appreciation of the Earths
natural environment.
Forty years ago, David Hinckle
was sure that consumers were ready
to buy Earth-friendly products in the
pursuit of more healthy lifestyles as
people were starting to pay more
attention to sustainability.
So, he and a handful of others
opened Earthbeam Natural Foods
on Broadway in Burlingame in 1971

Trying to gure out what green
act will be your Earth Day contri-
bution? Consider shopping.
This weekend marks Earth Day.
Often observed as a day to give
back and pay attention to other
issues facing the world, its also a
great reminder of things that can
be done every day to be green.
Shoppers, for example, can meet
most of their needs without buying
new products like clothes. Or, con-
sider using less packaging when it
comes to household soaps. These
are all options without leaving San
Mateo County.
Those with young children
could cruise up to San Bruno and
visit Beth OConnors shop
Lovely Bump, a resale maternity
boutique that opened its doors on
San Mateo Avenue in San Bruno
on Mothers Day 2006. When she
was pregnant with her rst child,
Shea, OConnor realized it was
difcult to nd affordable materni-
ty clothes. Finding a large space
allowed OConnor to expand her
focus to include clothing, gear,
toys and books for infants, chil-
dren, teens and moms-to-be.
Its easy being green

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A Redwood City high school student
accused of trying to rape a teacher at knife-
point in the school parking lot earlier this year
will stand trial on several felonies after a
judge found sufcient evidence.
David Andres Velasquez, 19, is charged
with kidnapping with the intent to rape,
assault with the intent to commit rape, false
imprisonment and making criminal threats.
The charges can carry up to life in prison and
he has pleaded not guilty.
He returns to court May 8 to enter a plea in
Superior Court and set a trial date.
Redwood City police arrested Velasquez
Jan. 20 after the alleged attack in a parking
garage at Summit Preparatory Charter High
School on Broadway. Police said they
responded at approximately 5:15 p.m. to a
male who jumped from some bushes near the
lot and grabbed the teacher from behind. He
held a knife to her side and ordered her to go
to her car and climb in.
When he threatened to kill her if she did not
comply, the woman reported recognizing his
voice as a student.
She intentionally dropped her keys to buy
time but he pushed her to the ground, pried
her legs apart with his elbow and laid on top
of her. Another woman entering the parking
lot saw the attack and screamed, causing him
to ee.
Police identied the attacker as Velasquez
and arrested him later that night.
Velasquez has no prior criminal history in
San Mateo County.
He remains in custody in lieu of $1 million
bail.
San Mateo Bridge
snarled by multiple crashes
Two separate traffic collisions and a fuel
leak closed the San Mateo Bridge in both
directions during the morning commute
Friday.
Lanes reopened shortly after 10 a.m.,
according to the California Highway Patrol.
The first crash was reported in a west-
bound lane of the bridge around 6 a.m.
between a big-rig and a stalled pickup truck,
CHP Officer Art Montiel said.
Fuel began leaking from the big-rig, and
the U.S. Coast Guard and the state
Department of Fish and Game were notified
in case some of the fuel dropped into the
Bay, Montiel said.
Then at about 6:45 a.m., an onlooker trav-
eling east struck a CHP patrol car, which
moved forward and struck a fire truck,
Montiel said.
Both the CHP car and fire truck were
unoccupied at the time and no officers or
firefighters were injured, Montiel said.
Two other people involved in the east-
bound crash were taken to a hospital by
ambulance for treatment of minor injuries,
he said.
Suspect detained in
connection with state manhunt
SACRAMENTO Police have detained
a suspect in connection with a manhunt that
shut down one of Northern Californias
busiest freeways for six hours.
An armed carjacking suspect stole two
trucks and a tractor Friday morning as he
led police in a chase around the states cap-
ital.
He seemed to disappear around noon after
abandoning his most recently hijacked vehi-
cle, a brown truck.
Sacramento County Sheriffs spokesman
Jason Ramos says officers have detained a
man in the area of the abandoned truck.
He says a witness saw the detained man in
the brown truck after it was stolen.

Local brief
By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Fewer U.S. states
reported job gains in March, reecting
slower hiring nationwide.
The more sluggish job growth coin-
cides with more people seeking unem-
ployment benets in the past month. The
trends suggest that hiring could slow in
coming months.
Job gains were reported in 29 states
last month, the Labor Department said
Friday. Thats worse than February,
when 42 states added jobs. Nationwide
in March, employers added only
120,000 jobs, half the pace of the previ-
ous three months.
Economists have cautioned, though,
that the hiring slowdown in March might
be temporary. They noted that a warmer
winter may have led to some earlier hir-
ing in January and February. Most are
awaiting the April jobs report before
concluding that hiring has stalled. That
report will be released May 4.
Despite the slower hiring, unemploy-
ment fell in most states in March: 30
states reported lower rates. Eight report-
ed increases. Rates were unchanged in
12 states.
But one reason for the lower unem-
ployment in March is that many
Americans stopped looking for work.
People who are out of work but arent
looking for a job arent counted as
unemployed.
The biggest job declines in March
were reported in Ohio, which lost 9,500
jobs, and New Jersey, which lost 8,600
positions. Wisconsin posted the third
biggest loss, a decline of 4,500.
Some states reported healthy job
gains: New York added 19,100 jobs,
California gained 18,200 and Arizona
said employers added 13,500 jobs.
Nevada has the nations highest unem-
ployment rate, at 12 percent. Thats
down from 12.3 percent in February.
Rhode Island reported the next highest
rate, at 11.1 percent, down from 11.2
percent.

HAYWARD The wife of state
Treasurer Bill Lockyer on Friday said
she was resigning from Alameda
Countys Board of Supervisors following
a string of bizarre public incidents she
has blamed on her own chemical depend-
ency.
Nadia Lockyer plans to resign so that
she can focus on raising the couples 8-
year-old son, Diego, she said in a letter to
colleagues and con-
stituents.
Today, for my
child ... I hereby
announce my resig-
nation from the
Alameda County
Board of
Supervisors, in order
that I may focus on
the well-being of my
child, recovery from
chemical dependency and interpersonal
violence, and transitioning to work in the
private sector, she wrote.
I got myself in a place called addic-
tion all by myself. A decade of non-stop
trauma, pain, and loss are my personal
excuse.
The 40-year-old Nadia Lockyers pub-
lic troubles began in February, when she
claimed she was assaulted by an ex-
boyfriend, Steve Chikhani, in a Newark
hotel room.

In December, THE Bayside
S.T.E.M. ACADEMY Student
Council representatives, along with
past, present and future presidents of
the San Mateo Rotary Club, spread
cheer by delivering more than 400
dictionaries to third grade elementary
students.
Bayside S.T.E.M. Principal
Jeanne Elliott introduced the Rotary
and S.T.E.M. Student Council team
by expressing excitement that the
third graders would meet three presi-
dents in one day. S.T.E.M. Student
Body President Gerardo Gonzalez
noted that the Rotary supports San
Mateo third graders education with
the gift of a dictionary; student coun-
cil representatives Alara Slonaker,
Glynnis McNamara and Ariel
Sullivan took turns explaining how
the Rotary believes in spreading
goodwill in the community as part of
the Rotarys mission to support the
community. Rotary presidents chal-
lenged the students to use their dic-
tionaries often and to practice new
words daily. Grateful third graders
were notably excited when they
learned that the dictionary was theirs
to keep.

WASHINGTON Democratic
Sen. Joe Manchin says hes unsure
whether hell vote for his partys
leader, President Barack Obama, or
the likely Republican nominee Mitt
Romney.
In a statement Friday, the West
Virginia lawmaker said he had some
real differences with both leaders,
nding fault with Obamas energy
and economic policies while ques-
tioning whether Romney could
understand the challenges facing
ordinary people.
I strongly believe that every
American should always be rooting
for our president to do well, no mat-
ter which political party that he or she
might belong to, Manchin said.
With that being said, many West
Virginians believe the last 3 1/2 years
havent been good for us, but were
hopeful that they can get better.
Manchin, one of the more moder-
ate Senate
Democrats, has
broken with his
party on several
issues as he seeks
re-election this
year. His state has
backed the
Republican can-
didate in the last
three presidential
elections, and Obama did not fare
well in 2008. Obama lost to GOP
nominee Sen. John McCain, 56-43
percent, and was overwhelmed by
Hillary Rodham Clinton in the
Democratic primary, losing 67-26
percent.
Manchin, the former governor who
won the Senate seat in 2010, remains
popular in West Virginia and is not
considered vulnerable in his rematch
against Republican John Raese.
In an interview with National
Journal published Friday, Manchin
said he will look at the options in
casting his presidential vote.

The San Mateo County Harbor
District has named Scott A. Grindy
its new harbor master to oversee
operations at both Pillar Point
Harbor in Princeton and Oyster
Point Marina/Park in South San
Francisco.
The district selected Grindy after
a competitive search to succeed
Robert Johnson who retired in
December 2011. Grindy begins
Monday, April 23.
Grindy was formerly facilities
and security director at the Port of
Everett, Wash. His experience
includes port and harbor manage-
ment, including overseeing port
facilities at multiple locations and
management of Everetts 2,400
berth marina. He was also an exec-
utive member of the Area
Maritime Security Committee
through the Department of
Homeland Security and has a fed-
eral secret clearance for use with
the U. S. Coast Guard.
We are excited to have Mr.
Grindy leading our operations and

Obama enjoys 10-1
financial edge over Romney
WASHINGTON President
Barack Obamas re-election effort
enjoyed a 10-to-1 nancial edge
over Republican rival Mitt
Romney last month, out-raising
the former Massachusetts gover-
nor by millions as Obama stuffed
more than $104 million into his
campaign war chest.
A nasty primary battle
between Romney and his GOP
rivals took a financial toll on his
presidential campaign, which
raised $12.6 million in March
and left Romney with about $10
million in the bank by months
end. All told, Obama and the
Democratic Party raised a com-
bined $53 million in donations
during that period, while
Romney with his party pulled in
about half of that.

The council will also discuss a comprehensive inventory of
land it owns and consider what it should keep, what has
development potential and what should be otherwise dis-
posed of. The city has 20,966 parcels within its limits of
which 247 are owed by the city. The total of nearly 625 acres
include several bodies of water, mostly lagoons.

Burlingame is home to a newer, bou-

said.
Schmalz is often changing around the
merchandise which also includes some
new products. Offering that variety has
created opportunities for Schmalz to
watch women have that great moment of
nding something that ts perfectly and
is a steal. Also, she likes when customers
return wearing items previously pur-
chased in the store.

and the store is still going strong today, fueled by its loyal
customers bent on living healthy.
I was convinced organic was going to be a big thing,
Hinckle said.
On the stores windows reads five principles: Practice
Sustainability; Be Fit; Live Well; Feel Good; and Eat Smart.
Inside the store, there are more than 5,000 products that
are organic, natural and eco-friendly.
Although natural food stores comprise only about 5 per-
cent of the total grocery market, it is growing, Hinckle said.
When Earthbeam first opened, there was no such thing as
Whole Foods. Trader Joes had yet to expand out of the Los
Angeles area.
When they did expand into San Mateo County, however,
Earthbeam saw its sales drop, Hinckle said.
But over the past few years, customers have found their
way back into the store, despite its high prices.
People starting watching their dollars more after the
financial meltdown of 2008, even in Burlingame, he said.
People were staying home more and eating out less and our
business picked up.
He considers Earthbeams prices to be in the middle of the
pack, higher than Trader Joes and lower than Whole Foods.
But Hinckle does not shop at his competitors, he relies on
his customers to tell him how Earthbeam stacks up.
And the shop caters to its customers, ordering supplements
or vitamins or health care products specifically requested by
them.
Hinckle knows many of his customers by first name and
the staff at Earthbeam also prides itself on its extensive
knowledge on all the products the shop sells.
With more people looking to be less dependent on pre-
scription drugs, they come to Earthbeam for homeopathic
remedies or supplements that do not have the same side
effects as powerful prescription drugs.
Information is a big product on top of the products we
sell, Hinckle said.
People are looking for natural sleep aids, help with diges-
tion, mental fitness products and supplements to ease arthri-
tis pain and inflammation.
The Earthbeam staff has become experts on these prod-
ucts, Hinckle said.
Earthbeam is also mindful of organic products that contain
genetically-modified ingredients and is supporting a
statewide ballot initiative to require all food to be labeled as
to whether it contains GMOs.
Many natural food products contain GMOs but manufac-
turers are not required to disclose the fact, Hinckle said.
Hinckle and his staff helped gather signatures for the bal-
lot initiative that has until April 22, Earth Day, to qualify for
the November ballot.
Most of Earthbeams produce is grown in California
although in the winter months the store will buy fruit and
vegetables from organic farmers in Oregon and Washington.
Buying produce closer to home is better for the environ-
ment since it has less distance to travel, he said.
Being in business for 40 years in the same spot has
allowed the store to develop a steady stream of regular cus-
tomers, some who shop there two or three times a week.
Abdullah Aljamea has been shopping at Earthbeam since
he first moved to Burlingame 20 years ago. He shops there
mostly for the fresh organic produce, he said.
While Earth Day is a big deal for the people who work at
Earthbeam, the store is not trying to capitalize on it to sell
more products.
More people are gravitating toward organics, Hinckle
said. We want to encourage people to gain knowledge on
healthy living.

WASHINGTON Three more Secret
Service ofcers resigned Friday in the
expanding prostitution scandal that has
brought scorching criticism of agents
behavior in Colombia just before
President Barack Obamas visit for a
summit meeting last week. Agency
Director Mark Sullivan came to the
White House late Friday to personally
brief Obama in the Oval Ofce.
The Secret Service announced the new
resignations, bringing to six the number
of agency ofcers who have lost their
jobs so far because of events at their
hotel in Cartagena.
Also late Friday, Republican Sen.
Chuck Grassley of
Iowa, urged a broader
investigation, includ-
ing whether White
House advance staff
and communications
personnel may have
shared rooms with
the Secret Service at
the Caribe or other
hotels in Cartagena.
In a letter to Sullivan and the inspector
general at the Department of Homeland
Security, Grassley asked whether hotel
records for the White House staffers had
been pulled as part of the investigations.
An additional Secret Service employee
was implicated Friday, a government
ofcial said, commenting only on condi-
tion of anonymity concerning the contin-
uing investigation.

Zimmerman apologizes for
shooting; gets $150K bail
SANFORD, Fla. A routine bail
hearing for George Zimmerman took a
surprising turn into remorse and expla-
nation Friday when the neighborhood
watch volunteer got on the witness stand
and told Trayvon Martins parents: I am
sorry for the loss of your son.
I did not know how old he was. I
thought he was a little bit younger than I
am. I did not know if he was armed or
not, Zimmerman said, marking the rst
time he has spoken publicly about the
Feb. 26 shooting of the unarmed black
17-year-old.
The hearing wrapped up with a judge
ruling Zimmerman can be released from
jail on $150,000 bail while he awaits
trial on second-degree murder charges.

Legislative analyst says
dont fund high-speed rail
Editor,
Californias non-partisan Legislative
Analyst reviewed the hastily assembled
$68.4 billion high-speed rail business
plan and recommends that the high-
speed rail project be halted and the
Legislature not approve the governors
various budget proposals to provide
additional funding for the project.
The LAO said the CAHSRA has not
provided sufcient detail and justica-
tion to the Legislature regarding its
plan to build the system, has barely 9
percent of required funds identied,
future funding is highly speculative
and important details have not been
sorted out.
The LAO is the non-partisan legisla-
tive nancial adviser and highly
respected for its impartiality. If
Democrats ignore the LAO, they prove
they cannot be trusted with new tax
revenue, and cant balance a budget.
Bad budgets in 2011-12 led to protests
at CSUs and UCs; layoffs of nurses,
teachers, police and reghters; closed
parks, senior centers, mental facilities;
the end of redevelopment; felons
released and prisons closed so
Democrats cannot ignore the LAOs
advice on high-speed rail.

Potential revenue from land sale
Editor,
Foster City is unique. The city main-
tains a large reserve and is likely to
realize additional revenue with regard
to the sale of two city-owned parcels.
In a recent letter to the editor the
drafter misquoted or misunderstood my
position on this anticipated revenue. I
have been consistent in my position
that that revenue should be set aside
and only the interest portion used to
benet and maintain the city, our resi-
dents quality of life or build additional
assets. We are in the midst of our budg-
etary study sessions and are crafting
our solution to address our structural
decit. I have not spoken to my posi-
tion as to how that might be accom-
plished and welcome input from our
residents to address this serious issue.

Letters to the editor
By Stephen E. Abbors and David Gates
W
hen we think about ways to
slow down climate change
and avert the worst impacts
of rising temperatures, what usually
comes to mind are things like electric
cars, weatherizing homes and putting
up solar panels. But there are other sig-
nicant climate solutions to be realized
from one of the most important eco-
nomic sectors in California agricul-
ture.
Farms and ranches offer unique
opportunities to store, or sequester
carbon dioxide in soil, trees and other
woody plants. Research shows that
some of the most promising climate-
friendly farming practices include
reducing synthetic nitrogen fertilizer
use, managing soil to increase organic
matter, pasture-based livestock manage-
ment that decreases erosion and avoids
overgrazing, and integrating perennial
crops, forests and hedgerows into the
farmscape.
Many climate-friendly farming prac-
tices have the added benets of improv-
ing air and water quality, reducing
reliance on fossil fuel-based inputs and
increasing wildlife habitat and biodiver-
sity.
These advantages serve as a buffer
against the extremes of climate change
that could hamper agricultural produc-
tion and impact food security.
Preserving farmland near urban areas
can also limit the signicant green-
house gas emissions associated with
transportation and sprawl development.
But moving from the promise of
solutions to their widespread adoption
on Californias working farm and ranch
lands takes resources. We need more
agricultural research, technical assis-
tance for farmers and ranchers and,
when there may be added risks such as
decreases in crop yield, nancial incen-
tives to make the business of climate-
friendly farming less risky.
Thats where innovative state invest-
ments can make all the difference
between a progressive agricultural
economy or one that fails to meet the
challenges of a changing climate.
This year, Californias long-anticipat-
ed cap-and-trade program goes into
effect. The ground was laid for the pro-
gram in 2006 when former governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law
AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions
Act, the countrys most comprehensive
climate protection policy. Under the
law, California must reduce its green-
house gas emissions to 1990 levels by
2020.
Beginning this year the rst steps of
implementing cap-and-trade will get
under way with full implementation
beginning in January 2013. The pro-
gram puts a cap on the largest emitters
of greenhouse gases, one that declines
over time. These emitters must meet
their cap by decreasing their actual
emissions or by buying offsets on the
carbon market. Those that emit less
than their cap can trade or sell their
permits or allowances to pollute.
An aspect of cap-and-trade that has
been given relatively little attention
until now is that the largest greenhouse
gas emitters will be required to pur-
chase a small portion of their
allowances via an auction. The state
will hold the rst auction in November
2012 and quarterly auctions each year
thereafter, generating hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars in public funds this year
and increasing to several billions of
cap-and-trade program revenue in
future years.
How cap-and-trade revenue is invest-
ed could make all the difference in the
success of the program. Importantly,
Gov. Jerry Brown included sustainable
agriculture in his budget proposal as
an eligible allocation for cap-and-trade
funds, recognizing both the potential
for climate solutions from agriculture
and the need for public investments to
help maximize them.
This spring, as the Legislature takes
up the question of investment priorities
for cap-and-trade revenue, we hope
they too will see the wisdom of invest-
ing in agricultural solutions to one of
most pressing challenges in the years to
come.

Agricultures climate protection solutions Election year madness
L
ast week, for the rst time, I had what is called a
writers block. For more than two hours, I looked at
a blank screen before giving up. The news and politi-
cal discourse of the previous week had become so ugly.
I was not wrestling with whether Zimmerman acted illegally
in shooting Trayvon. But if, as his family argues, he was in his
vehicle only on his way to shop, why did he have a pistol
strapped to his waist?
This sort of conduct has a history rst revealed to me by a
law enforcement ofcer: Something happens to civilians when
they strap on a pistol. Not ries. Not shotguns. But pistols. It
not only gives them an
enhanced sense of power, but
in a recent psychological lab
experiment, when pho-
tographed without a gun, then
holding a pistol out, in the lat-
ter photo, they appear to be
taller.
Put a police uniform on a
recruit, he said, and they
exhibit that same sense of
enhanced power as you can
testify to when stopped for an
alleged trafc violation.
I have written how when,
after the Stockton schoolyard
massacre of Jan. 11 1989, I visited the National Rie
Association in Washington, D.C. to suggest something needed
to be done to control the distribution of automatic, high bullet
clipped pistols, such as wreaked havoc upon U.S. Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords and her street town hall visitors, I walked
in a handgun lover and walked out a NRA hater. I predicted a
Great American Shootout, especially a killer of children,
and that is what we have been having and will continue to
have as long as so many fear the NRA, the gun industry and
the conservative movement that funds it.
Now, gure this: When do you believe that life begins?
Arizona legislators declare pregnancy in that state begins
two weeks before conception. Dont ask me to explain the
conservative mind. I think its intended to cut down the num-
ber of weeks a woman can exercise her choice but it sure
could be confusing for the baby, not knowing who his father is
going to be for two weeks after he was declared alive.
How about this one?
Ranting about an issue, Rush Limbaugh encapsulated his
complaints about liberals; They are not nice! They are
angry and they are hostile and they are not compassionate, and
they have no manners. In the basics of human existence, they
are reprobates. They dont understand politeness. They are
rude, they are crude, they are thoughtless, they are selsh,
they are mean.
Sob!!! Say it aint so, Rush! If what you say is true, then
you qualify as a liberal, rst class.
Then, unbelievably, Allen West, a congressional representa-
tive from the gun-toting state of Florida, calls 81 colleagues
communists. What is unbelievable is that he has a masters
degree in political science and, obviously, never learned what
communism really is. Of course, he didnt name names, but
that doesnt surprise University of Arkansas psychologist, Dr.
Scott Eidelman, who in a study found that conservatism is tied
to low effort thought. Not lack of intelligence but shotgun
conclusions that dirty up the political air. An example of this
is the unretracted statement the candidates have garbaged
upon each other during the overdone primary debate season.
But West has sure been raising a lot of money riding that
horse.
Heres another fact for your memory bank of useless infor-
mation: The state of Mississippi, reputed to be the premier
religious value state in the union has the greatest number of
births out of wedlock. Must be the hot, sticky summers and
banning of church-sponsored contraceptives.
The sad thing is how the extended national electoral process
has allowed more time for this madness in recent years. What
used to be relatively short primary seasons, sometimes bro-
kered national conventions and three- to four-month party
confrontations has now become an agonizing two-year
process, egged on by hungry, highly-paid media looking for
dramatic conict and irrational campaign comments to ll
their many hours and newsprint needs.
Meanwhile, the candidates mutually dig holes for their
opponents to fall into and often fall into themselves. Look for
more and worse as candidates feel they are losing traction.
But, it aint over til its over so look for more and worse as
candidates begin to feel desperate.
But, be of good cheer. This too shall pass. And most of this
invective and billions of dollars of campaign propaganda at
the last mean nothing in the nal election. Only three ques-
tions are asked in the polling booth: What will you do for me?
What wont you do for me? And what are you planning to
take away from me?
And electoral history has shown over the last 90 years that
more vote want than want to give up.

tion.

NEW YORK Stronger prots from
Microsoft, McDonalds and other major
U.S. corporations pushed stocks higher
Friday. Optimism from Europe helped
brighten the mood.
The Dow Jones industrial average and
the Standard & Poors 500 index had a
winning week for the rst time this
month.
Theres been a wrestling match all
week long between strong earnings and
weak economic data, said Lawrence
Creatura, a portfolio manager at
Federated Investors, the money-manage-
ment rm. At the moment, earnings are
winning.
Before the market opened,
McDonalds posted better quarterly
prots, buoyed by warm weather and
sales of new menu items like Chicken
McBites and oatmeal. Sales picked up
even in Europe, McDonalds biggest
market, despite economic turmoil and
severe weather.
Microsoft beat analysts projections
with quarterly earnings and revenue, and
sales in its Windows division were sur-
prisingly strong. And General Electric
posted a prot of more than $3 billion,
helped by orders for locomotives, air-
craft engines and other equipment.
The Dow rose 65.16 points to close at
13,029.26. The S&P 500 added 1.61
points to 1,378.53.
Corporate earnings results have pro-
vided a pleasant surprise, said Sam
Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P
Capital IQ. After nine straight quarters
of growth, earnings for S&P 500 compa-
nies were expected to be nearly at. But
eight of every 10 companies that have
reported so far, including Coca-Cola and
IBM, have beaten estimates. As a result,
rst-quarter earnings are now projected
to rise 4.4 percent, according to S&P.
In Europe, Germanys DAX rose 1.2
percent, and stock indexes in France and
Spain were higher. A closely watched
survey in Germany, the continents eco-
nomic powerhouse, showed business
optimism rising for the sixth straight
month. Economists had expected a
decline.
In other U.S. trading, Apple sank 2.5
percent, helping to tug the Nasdaq com-
posite index down 7.11 points to
3,000.45. Apple, the most valuable com-
pany in the world, accounts for 12 per-
cent of the Nasdaq.
The Dow gained 1.4 percent this
week, and the S&P 500 index 0.6 per-
cent.
Good week for stocks

company said that its prot rose almost 38
percent in the rst quarter.
Honeywell International Inc.,up $1.39 at $59.39
The technology and manufacturing company
said that its rst-quarter prot rose as strength
in the U.S. offset weakness in Europe.
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., down $1.95 at

40 percent from last year, hurt by another
companys ship grounding early this year.

beat Wall Street predictions,due to higher sales
of its Windows operating system.
E-Trade Financial Corp., up 60 cents at $10.48
The online broker reported a 40 percent jump
in rst-quarter prot, beating Wall Street
estimates thanks to a large tax benet.
Intuit Inc., down $3.65 at $57.25
The maker of tax preparation software TurboTax
said it expects third-quarter revenue will be
closer to the low end of its guidance.
Big movers
By Chris Kahn and Sandy Shore
NEW YORK The worst is over, for
now. Gasoline prices are starting to fall.
After a four-month surge pushed gaso-
line to nearly $4 per gallon in early
April, drivers, politicians and econo-
mists worried that gasoline prices might
soar past all-time highs, denting wallets,
angering voters and dragging down an
economy that is struggling to grow.
Instead, pump prices have dropped 6
cents over two weeks to a national aver-
age on Friday of $3.88. Experts say
gasoline could fall another nickel or
more next week.
Drivers might also get to say some-
thing they havent since October 2009
theyre paying less at the pump than
they did a year ago.
Its nice, much more manageable,
said Mark Timko, who paid less than $4
per gallon Wednesday in the Chicago
suburb of Burr Ridge, Ill., for the rst
time since March. I wasnt sure how
high they were going to go this year.
Gasoline prices are lower than they
were a year ago in 11 states, according
to the Oil Price Information Service. At
$3.88, the national average is still high,
but its down from a peak of $3.94.
Predictions of $5 gasoline earlier this
year have mercifully evaporated.
Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil
analyst at Oil Price Information Service,
expects gasoline prices to drop to just
above $3.80 by late next week. Stuart
Hoffman, chief economist at PNC
Financial Services Group, said the
falling prices will put more money into
the economy for Americans to spend
elsewhere.
A 10-cent drop in gasoline prices
would mean drivers would have an extra
$37 million per day to spend on other
things.
Gasoline prices have been pushed high
by crude prices that have averaged $104
per barrel this year. World oil demand is
expected to set a record this year and a
series of production outages around the
world have kept supplies low.
Oil rose to $110 as the West tightened
sanctions on Iran in an effort to make it
harder for that country to sell oil and
pressure it to abandon its nuclear ambi-
tions. Fears that retaliation by Iran could
disrupt Middle Eastern supplies pushed
oil prices up by as much as $15 per bar-
rel, experts say.
Closer to home, there were concerns
about restricted supplies of gasoline on
the East Coast after three refineries
closed and two more were set to be shut-
tered. Gasoline futures prices, which are
quickly reected in pump prices, rose to
their highest levels in nearly a year.
After surge, gas prices start falling
Oil prices have fallen in recent weeks.
Iran and the West are negotiating,the
growth in demand for oil has moder-
ated, and world oil supplies are rising
again thanks to more production from
Saudi Arabia, Libya and the United
States. Oil has fallen to $103.05 per
barrel, down from a peak of $110.55
on March 1.
Potential buyers for the two East
Coast reneries have emerged,so they
are now expected to stay open.
U.S.drivers have gotten frugal at the
gas pump. Gasoline demand has
dropped by about 6 percent, com-
pared with the same period last year,
according to the latest government
data.
Lower prices

DETROIT For the rst time in more
than 20 years, U.S. automakers are ques-
tioning a pillar of manufacturing: The
practice of bringing parts to assembly
lines right before theyre used.
So-called just-in-time deliveries have
helped automakers save billions and run
their factories more efciently. But the
approach also relies on an almost perfect
supply chain. And twice in the last year,
weak links have been exposed.
An earthquake in March 2011 knocked
out many Japanese parts makers, result-
ing in factory shutdowns and model
shortages around the world. And last
month, an explosion at a German chemi-
cal plant cut off supplies of a resin essen-
tial in car fuel lines. Without those parts,
assembly lines could slow or grind to a
halt within weeks, causing shortages of
cars on dealer lots later this year.
Carmakers are scrambling to nd alter-
natives to the resin. The threat of a new
shortage comes as U.S. auto sales are just
becoming healthy again.
Supply problems in the auto industry
are unavoidable sometimes, but car man-
ufacturers are starting to rethink the just-
in-time system, which is more global
than ever and relies on increasingly spe-
cialized parts from fewer suppliers.
The system, developed by Toyota in
the 1970s and brought to the U.S. in the
1980s, discourages big stockpiles of
parts in favor of deliveries shortly before
theyre needed. It saves companies the
cost of storing the parts or carrying them
on their books.

rethink lean parts supplies
Googles ex-CEO gets
$101M pay package in new job
SAN FRANCISCO Shifting from
Googles CEO to executive chairman
proved to be lucrative career move for
Eric Schmidt.
Google Inc. awarded Schmidt a com-
pensation package valued at $101 mil-
lion last year. The amount disclosed in a
regulatory ling is 322 times higher than
the $313,219 package that Schmidt
received in 2010 during his nal full year
as the Internet search leaders CEO.
Schmidt ended a decade-long stint as
Googles CEO last April and turned over
the job to Google co-founder Larry Page.
Shortly before the change in com-
mand, Google gave Schmidt stock and
stock options awards valued at nearly
$94 million. The rest of Schmidts com-
pensation consisted of a $937,500 salary,
$6 million bonus and perks worth nearly
$264,000.
Business brief
By R.B Fallstrom
ST. LOUIS No team in the playoffs is
deeper at goalie than the St. Louis Blues. Its
a big reason they are one win away from their
rst playoff series triumph in a decade.
Brian Elliott is more of a 1A than Jaroslav
Halaks backup. Elliott led the NHL with a
1.56 goals-against average, including nine
shutouts. Hes been carrying the load since
Halak was sidelined by a lower-body injury
early in their rst-round series against the San
Jose Sharks.
Elliott, who wasnt assured of a job in train-
ing camp, was just 1:07 shy of a shutout in
Game 4. The 2-1 victory gave St. Louis a 3-1
series lead coming back home for Game 5 on
Saturday night. He was far from satised after
allowing Joe Thorntons late goal Thursday
night.
That makes me mad, spitting a rebound out
like that late in the game, Elliott said.
Luckily we scored two and they only had
one.
Luck has had little to do with the series so
far. The Blues swept the Sharks in the regular
season, with Elliott and Halak each posting a
shutout, and San Jose has scored only seven
goals thus far.
The Blues can wrap it up in Game 5 on
Saturday night in St. Louis, almost certainly
with Elliott in goal given Halak was wearing a
walking boot prior to Game 4. They were the
NHLs best team at home during the regular
season with franchise-record 30 victories and
just six regulation losses.
After dropping Game 1 at home in double-
overtime, they silenced the Shark Tank with a
pair of victories.
Theyre not going quietly, coach Ken
Hitchcock said. We recognize how close
these games are and how hard the next ones
going to be. But this is a new experience for
us. I think dealing with the pressure of win-
ning and closing a team out, were going to
have to work through it.
Teams holding a 3-1 lead have won 228 of
252 NHL series, according to Stats LLC,
Sharks season on the brink Saturday
This is a new experience for us. I think dealing
with the pressure of winning and closing a team out,
were going to have to work through it.

Aragons Thomas Pauly lunges for a return during the Dons 4-3 win over Burlingame in the seminals of the PAL team tournament.
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Fridays Peninsula Athletic League team
semifinal between the Aragon and
Burlingame boys tennis teams was brought to
you by the number three.
As in, their third matchup in 2012.
As in, third sets galore.
As in, all eyes on court No. 3.
With the team score tied at, you guessed it,
3-3, a trip to the PAL nals on Mondays rest-
ed on the rackets of No. 3 singles players
Isaac Wang and Forrest Tsu.
And with both squads looking and cheering
on their teammates, it was Wangs 6-2 third
set victory over Tsu that propelled the Dons to
Mondays nal in 4-3 fashion.
Yeah, there was a lot of pressure, Wang
said, and it kind of got to me, but I tried to
just relax, calm my mind and hit my shots.
Wang, a year younger than Tsu as a sopho-
more, outlasted his counterpart mentally,
wearing him down and turning the tide when
he was up 3-2 in the third set when he broke
Tsus serve. He followed that with a forehand
winner to make it 5-2, that all but sealed the
deal for the Dons.
He usually make a lot of mistakes, said
Wang, who has two prior victories against Tsu
this season in PAL play. So I tried place it in
Dons advance to finals
Carlmont
rallies for
huge win
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As the Terra Nova baseball team celebrated
Justin Gubsers fth-inning grand slam that
put the Tigers up 7-5, a lone voice was heard
from the Carlmont dugout.
Were going to score 10! said Carlmont
assistant coach Rick Lavezzo.
He was right and then some. Trailing 10-5
heading into the bottom of the seventh inning,
Carlmont scored ve times to tie the game at
10 and then won the game in the bottom of the
eighth on a Nic Bongi bases-loaded single to
center to drive in Justin Fink to give the Scots
an improbable 11-10 win over the rst-place
Tigers.
[The win is] huge, Bongi said. It shows
the ght we have.
Carlmont (3-5 PAL Bay, 9-9 overall) caught
a break when Terra Nova (6-2, 15-4) had to
take out pitcher Bobby Sehgal, who pitched
three perfect innings in relief of Kurtis
Casperson. Sehgal pitched seven innings in a
makeup game against Hillsdale Monday and
the three he threw against Carlmont gave him
10 for the week, the limit for high school
pitchers.
The two relievers who followed Sehgal
couldnt get the job done and the Scots picked
up arguably their biggest win of the season.
It comes down to not having Bobby
Sehgal, said Terra Nova manager Joey
Gentile. I had to bring in a guy who hasnt
thrown all season. Its tough when youre on a
roll like we are.
Its part of the game I guess.

Whether they want to admit it or not, the
San Jose Earthquakes are at a bit of a cross-
roads.
Granted, the season is only six game deep
and anything can happen between now and
October. But the Quakes nd themselves in a
position they hadnt been in since their return
to Major League Soccer at the top of
Western Conference table.
Six games in, San Jose is second in the
West, boasting one of the conferences best
offenses (10 goals scored, good for second)
and stingiest defenses (4 goals allowed, good
for second as well).
This is the second-best six-game start to a
year in the San Jose Earthquakes 15-season
history. In 2003, the eventual MLS Cup cham-
pion Quakes trotted out to a 4-0-2 start for 14
points.
And while the new-look Earthquakes are
exciting to watch and have shown tremendous
cohesiveness thus far, Saturday will be a test
in depth.
San Jose welcomes Real Salt Lake to Buck
Shaw stadium Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Real sits
atop the Western Conference standings, two
points ahead of the Quakes with one more
game played. Only Sporting Kansas City has
more points in MLS.
Real Salt Lake is led in mideld by Kyle
Beckerman a notable player whos seen
some time with the U.S. National Team. The
RSL captain tallied two of his three goals a
season ago against San Jose while also pro-
viding a career-best nine assists. Beckerman is
a workhorse, having played all of RSLs 630
game minutes in 2012.
Up front, Real Salt Lake striking options
include Argentine Fabian Espindola, who
leads the team with three goals, Costa Rican
Alvaro Saborio is also a threat with two goals
and Paulo Junior has shown ashes of bril-
liance in 2012.
Quakes depth will be tested by Real Salt Lake

SPECIAL TO THE DAILY JOURNAL
The Giants have taken another important
step to preserve its stellar starting pitching by
signing Madison Bumgarner to a ve-year
extension through 2017.
The signing further reinforces the front
ofces No. 1 priority pitching, beginning
with Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and now
Bumgarner. Along with Bumgarner, the
Giants signed 2-time Cy Young Award winner
Lincecum for the next two years at $40.5 mil-
lion and Cain for $127.5 million over the next
six years. The Giants now have all of their
front line starters together at least through
2013.
Pitching was the main reason the Giants
won the championship in 2010 and why they
won 86 games, 10 games
over .500 and were in con-
tention in the National
League West until the last
couple weeks of the 2011
season despite having an
anemic offense. In 2011,
the Giants ranked second
overall in the National
League in ERA (3.20),
third in WHIP (1.24), sec-
ond in strikeouts (1,316),
allowed the fewest number of Home Runs
(96) by a wide margin over the Phillies (120),
and opposing teams batted a league-worst
.232 against the Giants staff.
Vogelsong (2.71), Lincecum (2.74), Cain
(2.88) and Bumgarner (3.21) all ranked in the
top dozen starting NL pitchers.
By signing Bumgarner through the next ve
years, the Giants are thinking like the Tampa
Bay Rays did with their young ace, Matt
Moore. Tampa Bay recently locked up
Moore for a seven-year, $37.5 million con-
tract with ve years guaranteed at $18 million
and club options for 2018 and 2019.
Bumgarner certainly has more experience
than Moore and many feel is as good, if not
better, than the future Tampa Bay ace.
Bumgarners rst two years with the Giants
compare with some of the best pitchers ever to
play the game. He was the youngest pitcher in
Giants franchise history at 20 years and 38
days old - to start a Major League game and
he was a standout in the 2010 World Series
when he beat the Texas Rangers in Game 4 by
throwing eight shutout innings in a 4-0
Giants victory. Bumgarner was the fth-
youngest pitcher to start a World Series game
and the fourth-youngest to win one.
Baseball Prospectus raves about
Bumgarner and points to his statistics over his
rst two seasons (2010 and 2011) comparing
to those of Dwight Gooden, Bert Blyleven,
Fernando Valenzuela, Vida Blue, and Don
Sutton.
Further, it compare him to Jared Weaver,
based on the fact he throws from an extreme
arm angle while getting a tremendous strike
rate on off-speed pitches, especially his slid-
er. Bumgarner at 21 years of age could
soon be in the ace or front of the rotation
category.
Coming into 2012, Bumgarner has a 21-20
record over 54 starts with a 3.12 ERA. He was
drafted by the Giants in the rst round (10th
overall) of the 2007 Major League Draft.

NEW YORK Hector Sanchez hit a go-
ahead single in the 10th inning off Frank
Francisco, and the San Francisco Giants came
back after blowing the lead in the ninth and just
hung on to beat the New York Mets 4-3 Friday
night.
Angel Pagan homered in his return to Citi
Field as San Francisco built a 3-0 lead in the
third for Barry Zito, but solo home runs by Jason
Bay in the fourth and rookie Kirk Nieuwenhuis
in the fth started New Yorks comeback.
With closer Brian Wilson out for the year fol-
lowing elbow surgery, Santiago Casilla and
Javier Lopez combined to allow the Mets to
send the game to extra innings on Josh Tholes
tying single.
Then in the 10th, Francisco (0-1) walked
Melky Cabrera on four pitches leading off, and
with one out Cabrera stole second on a pitchout.
After Gregor Blanco ied out, Nate Schierholtz
was intentionally walked and Sanchez singled to
shallow center.
Sergio Romo (1-0) struck out Ruben Tejada
with runners at second and third to end the ninth
as San Francisco won its third straight and sent
the Mets to their third consecutive loss.
But it wasnt simple.
Daniel Murphy and David
Wright singled to start the
10th, Clay Hensley relieved
and Ike Davis advanced the
runners with a groundout.
Hensley struck out Bay
with the ineld in. Lucas
Duda fouled off four
straight pitches, took two,
then ied out as Hensley
got his rst save since 2010.
Buster Posey singled and hit an RBI double in
his rst two plate appearances for San
Francisco, giving him nine hits in a span of 14
at-bats. Posey was retired in his next two at-bats.
Zito allowed two runs and four hits in ve
innings, leaving him with a 1.71 ERA, while
Jonathon Niese gave up three runs and seven hits
in six innings.
Traded in December for center elder Andres
Torres and reliever Ramon Ramirez, Pagan
homered to the left of straightaway center lead-
ing off the third, a drive that would not have
cleared the old wall at Citi Field. Cabrera and
Pablo Sandoval singled, Posey hit an RBI dou-
ble and Sandoval came home on a wild pitch for
a 3-0 lead.
Bays two-out homer in the fourth ended a
streak of 17 straight scoreless innings for Giants
pitchers, and Nieuwenhuis homered leading off
the fth. It took 250 games and 4,155 at-bats for
a Mets left-handed hitter to clear the left-eld
wall at Citi Field, according to STATS LLC.
And it took recongured dimensions, too.
The drive off the left-handed Zito cleared the
new 8-foot fence by about 2 feet and landed in
the Party City Deck. It was well short of the old
16-foot wall, which is about 10 feet deeper. It
was the fourth home run in seven games this sea-
son that cleared the new fence but would not
have gone over the old wall.
Batting left-handed, Pagan hit an inside-the-
park, opposite-eld homer for the Mets against
Philadelphia on Aug. 23, 2009. Also, Davis hit a
drive slightly to the left of center off Atlantas
Derek Lowe on July 11, 2010.
After Nieuwenhuis homer, New York loaded
the bases but Davis popped out on Zitos 100th
and nal pitch. Davis is hitting .140 following an

Dubs season-ending slide in standings continues
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS Vince Carter and Brandan
Wright are showing how much they can help
Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry.
And that can be signicant for the defending
NBA champion Dallas Mavericks heading into
the playoffs.
Wright had 17 points in 17 minutes and
Carters 19 points included eight straight for
Dallas early in the fourth quarter, when the Mavs
nally pulled away from the young Golden State
Warriors for a 104-94 victory Friday night.
When its my turn, Im going to come in
aggressive and ready to play, said Carter, the
13-year veteran who joined the Mavericks just
before the season. I just want to help these
guys, Dirk and Jet (Terry), really take pressure
off them so they dont have to take double-teams
all the time.
Carter, who didnt score before halftime, hit a
long jumper to start the fourth quarter. When he
ended his personal scoring streak with an assist
on Terrys breakaway 3-pointer, Dallas had
stretched its lead to 87-75 with 9 minutes left.
We were looking to get him involved, coach
Rick Carlisle said. He made good decisions,
made shots and made a couple of good passes. It
gives us another attacker out of the small for-
ward position. Thats a plus.
It was the last regular season home game for
the Mavericks, who clinched a playoff spot
Thursday night without even playing. They were
guaranteed their 12th straight playoff appear-
ance after Houstons sixth consecutive loss, in
New Orleans a night after the Rockets lost in
Dallas.
The Mavericks nished 23-10 at home.
Nowitzki and Delonte West each had 16 points,
and Shawn Marion 14 in the nale.
Were playing as a cohesive unit out there,
said West, who had some big plays in the third
quarter.
Dallas, sixth in the Western Conference
standings, plays at Chicago on Saturday night.
The regular season finale is Thursday at
Atlanta.
Klay Thompson, one of four rookie starters
for Golden State, had 26 points. Brandon Rush
had 20 points on 9-of-12 shooting for the
Warriors.
I thought it was an outstanding effort when
you look at the team we put on the oor, coach
Mark Jackson said. We found a way to hang in
until the fourth quarter when they got some sep-
aration.
The Warriors, playing the rst of three straight
road days, were without ve injured players.
Dallas didnt go ahead for good until late in
the third quarter.
Two free throws by Carter tied the game at 58
before West had a three-point play, driving and
reaching around a defender for a bank shot high
off the glass while being fouled and then making
the free throw.
The third quarter ended with a scrambling
possession by the Mavs. West made a 3-pointer
from the right corner at the buzzer for a 76-70
lead.
Our main goal is to nish strong and com-
pete, said Dorrell Wright, the only veteran
starter for the Warriors. Its a learning process
with four rookies starting. ... They nished.
Thats why theyre the defending champs.
Wright had 19 points. Jeremy Tyler had 15
points and Charles Jenkins had 10 points and 10
rebounds.
Center Andris Biendrins didnt even make
the trip, missing his third straight game
because of a mild concussion, and guard Nate
Robinson missed his second game in a row
with a strained right hamstring. Also out were
center Andrew Bogut (broken left ankle),
guard Stephen Curry (sprained right ankle)
and post player David Lee (strained groin).
Dallas led 40-29 midway through the sec-
ond quarter after Wright scored 11 points in a
4 1/2-minute span. Nowitzki had the only
other Mavs basket in that stretch.
Wright, the 6-foot-10 forward, is getting
some of the minutes that were going to Lamar
Odom before he played his last game with the
Mavericks two weeks ago.
When Terry missed a 3-pointer, Wright
grabbed the rebound among three defenders
and went right back up for the rst basket of
the second quarter.
Terry then had a steal and passed ahead to
Wright for a powerful two-handed dunk.

By Greg Becham
Just over a year ago, Rashad
Evans and Jon Jones were friends.
The upstate New York natives
bonded and trained together at an
elite mixed martial arts camp in
Albuquerque, N.M. Nobody gured
Jones and Evans would ever break
the sports unwritten rule against
ghting a teammate.
How these two light heavy-
weights ended up in the octagon at
UFC 145 in Atlanta on Saturday
night combines a little Greek
tragedy, the dueling viewpoints of
Rashomon, and a good dose of
Warrior, last years MMA lm
about brothers who ght for a title.
I know how he really feels,
Evans said. Jon always wanted to
ght me. Jon never wanted to be
teammates, or to be like brothers.
Jon came on the team to learn the
way to beat me, so he can ght me.
The UFC just hopes it makes for
thrilling television when Jones
defends his 205-pound title against
the divisions former champion in
the most anticipated pay-per-view
bout of the spring.
He thinks he knows everything I
bring to the table, but a lot has
changed since
he left the gym a
year ago, Jones
said. Im a
much different
ghter than the
one he trained
with. I hope he
is ready to see
and feel that dif-
ference.
Jones and Evans have maintained
a nonstop barrage of trash talk for
months, with Evans questioning
Jones character while Jones
bemoans Evans immaturity. While
Evans has been painted as a villain,
Jones has added some intrigue to his
good-guy image, which he has used
to become a UFC poster boy and
high-prole corporate pitchman.
Both claim the saga isnt promo-
tional posturing: Theyve genuinely
grown to dislike each other in just
over a year.
I really want to beat Jon, but I
also want to be champion again,
Evans said. Its really hard to say
for me, which one I want more. Its
kind of like a toss-up.
They are two of the UFCs biggest
stars, and the 24-year-old Bones
Jones (15-1) is on every short list of
MMAs pound-for-pound best. He
has rocketed through the sport and
into popular culture since his pro
debut in April 2008, with his freak-
ish athleticism honed in respected
trainer Greg Jacksons gym in New
Mexico.
The 32-year-old Evans (22-1-1)
merely has been a relentless winner
for nearly seven years, beating a
host of former champions and hold-
ing the title belt for one ght until
Lyoto Machida took it away. Evans
also was on the sports pound-for-
pound lists before a 15-month injury
absence, which ended last August.
Evans was already established at
Jacksons gym when Jones joined
their crew. The two light heavy-
weights from similar backgrounds
in college wrestling got along well
at first, although Evans says he
already wondered why Jackson
would train a ghter who might end
up challenging Evans.
The trouble began in February
2011 when Evans injured his knee,
forcing him to withdraw from a title
ght with Mauricio Shogun Rua.
UFC President Dana White made a
surprising choice to ll Evans spot:
Jones, who had just beaten Ryan
Bader six weeks before the title
shot.
Jones seized the opportunity with
a third-round
stoppage of Rua,
becoming the
youngest title-
holder in UFC
history. Evans
didnt lament his
missed opportu-
nity to reclaim
his title, know-
ing he would get
another but a few weeks earlier,
Jones acknowledged in an interview
that he wouldnt mind fighting
Evans eventually.
Evans was infuriated. He abruptly
severed ties with Jacksons gym and
opened his own camp in Miami with
several Brazilian ghters, humor-
ously calling themselves the
Blackzilians.
That struck his ego somehow,
Jones said. Now hes challenging
me for my title, and I dont regret
what I said, because I said what I
would have said to his face.
Evans is equally critical of
Jackson, the respected coach whose
Albuquerque-based team has pro-
duced a stream of dynamic ghters
and champions. Evans claims the
team exists for Greg Jackson get-
ting the coach of the year award,
with little consideration for his
ghters futures beyond what they
can do for Jackson.
An awkward meeting between
Jones and Evans in a Las Vegas club
several months ago further ratcheted
up the tension. The ghters cant
even agree on what went on when
they sat at the same table.
I did tell Rashad that I was going
to nish him, and that I was hoping
that he would be my rst career
highlight knockout, Jones said.
And he remembers that.
Evans won the main event on the
UFCs second Fox network show in
January, a month after Jones domi-
nated Machida in his second title
defense. The path was nally clear
for the former teammates ght
and while both men want the title,
both are weary of the anticipation
and the still-simmering animosity
behind it.
I would like to be able to be at a
UFC event and not feel awkward in
the same room with Rashad, Jones
said. It would be cool to be able to
be like, Hey, good ght, and just
keep it moving. Were adults here,
and its not like I dont know
Rashad, so well be like men after
the ght. Well be cool.
Jones, Evans meet in bitter rivalry

Carlmont knows plenty about being on the
wrong side one-run losses.
Its tough. You sit there with ve (PAL) loss-
es, four by one run, said Carlmont manager
Rich Vallero. It just shows we do have mental
toughness.
The Scots sent 11 batters to the plate in the bot-
tom of the seventh. Ryan Anthony started the
comeback with an ineld hit and following a
popup to second for the rst out of the inning, the
next ve Carlmont batters all reached base. Kai
Haake drove in the rst run of the inning with a
double to the left-center eld gap. Three batters
later, Jason Marley singled home the second run.
Bongi followed with a bases-loaded walk to
drive in the third run. After a yout to left,
Johnathan Corvello drove in the fourth run of the
inning with an ineld hit and a bases loaded walk
by Anthony tied the game at 10.
Carlmonts Jesse Austin, who ended up getting
the win on the mound with one inning of relief,
set the Tigers down in order in the top of the
eighth and the Scots, after an impassioned speech
from assistant coach Bob Sargent, wasted little
time in putting together the winning rally.
With one out, Fink singled and went to third on
a Ryan Barret double just fair over third base.
Marley was intentionally walked to bring up
Bongi, who jumped on the rst pitch he saw,
chopping it up the middle through the Tigers
drawn-in ineld, thrusting his right arm in the air
as he made he way down the rst-base line.
I think its a great turnaround, Bongi said.
We have that condence now.
For most of the game, however, it appeared to
be Terra Novas day. The Tigers scored two in the
rst on Gubsers rst homer of the day a two-
run shot to left. Carlmont came back to take a 4-
2 lead with a four-run second, with Anthony,
Aaron Pleschner and Barret each driving in a run.
Terra Nova got a run back in the top of the third
on a Kodi Hudson home run to center, but
Carlmont responded with a Nick Rich sacrice
y in the bottom of the frame to put the Scots up
5-3.
The game changed in a hurry in the fth. Jake
Smith walked and Dylan Beale singled. After a
groundout, Nick Manessis walked to load the
bases to bring up Gubser, who drilled the rst
pitch he saw for a grand slam, turning a 4-3
decit into a 7-5 lead.
The Tigers tacked on a run in the sixth on a
Beale double and added two more in the seventh
on a two-run single by Casperson to put them up
10-5 before Carlmont rallied for the win.
Ive been waiting for [my team] to respond,
Vallero said. Terra Nova is a good team. We
needed [this win] really bad. Hopefully we
can take it (the momentum) into next week.
SCOTS
the corners deep so he would have a tough time
returning it. Once he hit a short ball, I tried to set
up my shot and hit a winner or let him make the
mistake.
You try to push the tempo so he doesnt have
a lot of time to relax and recuperate. You try to
push it and try to take advantage of it.
This will be another step up the ladder for
him in condence, said Burlingame head coach
Bill Smith about Tsu. Would we have rather
had him make that leap today? Yeah. But hes a
junior, so hes going to get to play another
match.
As expected, it wasnt going to be easy for the
Dons. Burlingame and Aragon split their two
matches this season, with the Panthers winning
5-2 and the Dons winning 4-3 a month later.
In those matches, only four of the possible 14
went to three sets.
On Friday, a total of ve went to a winner-
take-all frame.
Scott Taggart got things rolling for the Panthers.
His 6-2, 6-0 win against Rahul Joshi gave
Burlingame a 1-0 lead. For Taggart, it was the third
win in three tries against Aragons No. 1 player.
I just tried to stay in the points, Taggart said,
be consistent, steady, didnt need to overpower
anything, just stay in the game, stay focused most
importantly and just try to keep the ball in real-
ly just stay in the same game plan. You know, just
try to get in his head, stay tough, move him
around, come to the net and put it away. Denitely
try to get him in all aspects of the game.
Burlingames lead didnt last too long. Devon
Hughes stepped off of court No. 2 in a 6-1, 6-4 win
for Aragon.
It was an impressive display for Hughes, who
lost to Matt Miller earlier the season before getting
his revenge a month later and then taking the rub-
ber match on Friday.
Aragon took the lead in the rst of the ve three-
set matches. In No. 1 singles, Alex Zha and
Thomas Pauly defeated Rob Hauselt and Garret
Schubiner 6-2, 1-6, 6-1. Schubiner was part of
Smiths shufing in the seminal. Hauselts usual
partner, Will Stevenson, was moved to the No. 4
singles spot to replace Alec Guttas. Schubiner
himself was bumped up from his No. 3 doubles
position.
The Burlingame pair played a better second set,
but Zha and Paulys familiarity paid dividends at
the end of day.
I thought we were communicating pretty well,
really thought we played a really good game, Zha
said.
The game plan was denitely communication,
working together and helping each other set one
another up for a good shot to win the point, Pauly
said.
We like to test out the waters in the rst few
games and we formulate our plan based on what
we see, Zha said. They were missing a lot of
shots so we just said, Lets get the ball in, lets
play consistent, and it worked.
Burlingame evened things up after Zach
Martinucci and Bryan Anderson emerged victori-
ous in No. 3 doubles, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1.
But in perhaps the turning match of the day,
Evan Lee and Matthew Fowler overcame an early
decit, losing 6-3 in the rst set before nding the
winning formula and reeling off back to back 6-2
sets to pick up a huge point for the Dons.
Burlingame wasnt done yet. Stevenson made
the most of his time at the No. 4 singles and out-
lasted Kevin Nguyen 7-6 (7-4) in their second set
before stepping on the accelerator and pulling
away 6-1 in the third frame to tie things at 3-3.
Thats when Wang stepped up huge for his
team. Tsu and Wang exchanged set, but Wang was
able to take advantage of an increasingly frustrat-
ed Tsu in the third frame to give Aragon the win.
Wang and the Dons will now prepare for No. 1
seeded Carlmont in the PAL team nal on
Monday.
I think theyve wildly improved as a team,
Smith said of his young Panthers, and were short
a player. I was really very happy with our doubles
improvement and our singles players played and
gritted out. So, (its a) moral victory.

although the underdogs have prevailed more
frequently in recent years. The list of 24 teams
that have scaled that mountain includes the
Lightning last year over the Penguins, the
Flyers over the Bruins and Canadiens over
Capitals in 2010.
Defenseman Barret Jackman is the lone
holdover from the Blues 2003 team that blew
a 3-1 lead against Vancouver in the rst round.
Obviously, theres more pressure on the
Sharks, who made it to the Western
Conference nal the last two seasons. They
cant worry about the hole theyre in, just con-
centrate on Game 5.
Coach Todd McLellan liked most every-
thing about Game 4 except the score.
I think theres going to be a team that
comes back from 3-1 down in this playoff
series and there are a number of us at it and it
may as well be us, McLellan said. Lets go
there and play and see what happens. I think if
we get this kind of effort again and this type
of game we have a chance of coming out
ahead.
The Blues last playoff win was over the
Blackhawks in the rst round in 2002, but
theyve hardly looked like postseason neo-
phytes, standing up to the Sharks physical
tactics early in the series and playing with the
lead with scoring coming from everywhere.
The speedy Andy McDonald has been a stand-
out with three goals and four assists, but
checking forward B.J. Crombeen, who scored
the rst goal in Game 4, had only one in the
regular season.
The Blues have been disciplined, too, wait-
ing for the Sharks to slip up and covering for
their own mistakes with airtight penalty
killing. Theyve held the Sharks power play
to 2 for 15 and are a decisive 6 for 16 with the
man advantage in the series.
Yet to fully surface for the Sharks is the
playoff-tested team that closed fast in the reg-
ular season to earn the seventh seed in the
Western Conference. After taking Game 1,
San Jose had won 46 playoff games since the
Blues beat them once in a ve-game series in
2004.
Goalie Antti Niemi won a Stanley Cup with
the Blackhawks in 2010 and has played well
enough with a .912 save percentage. Joe
Thornton and Logan Couture each has a goal
and three assists, but Patrick Marleau and Joe
Pavelski are scoreless.
They have to nd a way to get on the score
sheet, and theyve got a game to do that,
McLellan said Friday. For us to have success,
our go-to players have to nd a way.
The Sharks won a couple of must games last
year in the playoffs. If they can take Game 5,
some of the pressure shifts to the Blues.
I dont think anybody believes were going
to do it, which is ne, forward Dan Boyle
said. Its going to be a tough task. We all
know that. Its going to be a very difcult task,
but it can be done. Its not impossible.
SHARKS
Defensively, RSLs best players is the man
between the pipes, Nick Rimando. Colombian
center back Jamison Olave is a savvy veteran
and a Best XI selection in 2010 and 2011.
But while Real Salt Lake has the talent to
give San Jose ts, what will be most interest-
ing on Saturday will be how the Quakes
respond to a slew of recent injuries to key
cogs in their early-season success.
Out is Shea Salinas, who can thank New
Yorks Rafael Marquez for stealing six to
eights weeks of his 2012 season following his
reckless tackle of the midfielder in last
Saturdays 2-2 draw with the Red Bulls.
MLS suspended Marquez three games for
his NFL-style takedown of Salinas that broke
his clavicle.
Salinas has been a revelation on the left side
for San Jose in the early part of 2012 his
speed and quickness have risen to another
level, making him one of the Quakes most
exciting players.
Head coach Frank Yallop will look to Simon
Dawkins to ll the void. The midelder on
loan from Tottenham of the English Premiere
League has served as Salinas backup in 2012.
Hes just as fast and slightly more creative
with the ball.
Without a doubt the biggest injury to hit San
Jose for their matchup against RSL is defend-
er Victor Bernardezs left knee sprain suffered
in last Saturdays draw with New York as well.
Yallop was quoted during the week as say-
ing that he isnt too concerned with these
injuries and that his team should respond well
and continue their high level of play.
But Bernardez has proven invaluable for
San Jose in 2012. His presence has solidied
their backline. His consistency in the center of
the eld has allowed players like Ramiro
Corrales and Steven Beltashour to cheat a bit
from their back positions and contribute to the
offense. His absence cannot be understated.
Stepping in will probably be Jason
Hernandez, who can pick up his 100th cap as
a Earthquake if Yallop calls his number.
Hernandez is a solid player and a regular
starter last season, but has seen very little time
in 2012 with Bernandez as solid as he was and
the emergence of Justin Morrow.
Also listed as questionable for Saturdays
game are Steven Lenhart and Alan Gordon
players who have complimented Chris
Wondolowski masterfully up top for San Jose
this year.
The Quakes will also be without midelder
Marvin Chavez who is serving a one-game
suspension following a reckless tackle in the
game against New York.
A positive outcome against RSL could be
huge for the Quakes. Following Saturdays
matchup, San Jose has a run of about four of
ve very winnable games before their show-
down against rival and reigning MLS champi-
on Los Angeles Galaxy.

WORLD
By Mark Stevenson
XALITZINTLA, Mexico The
white-capped volcano that looms over
Mexico City emitted a terrifying low-
pitched roar Friday and spewed roiling
towers of ash and steam as it vented the
pressure built up by a massive chamber
of magma beneath its slopes. Authorities
prepared evacuation routes, ambulances
and shelters in the event of a bigger
explosion.
Even a large eruption of the 17,886-
foot (5,450-meter) cone of Popocatepetl
is unlikely to do more than dump ash on
one of the worlds largest metropolitan
areas. But the grit could play havoc with
Mexico Citys busy airport, and tens of
thousands of people in the farming vil-
lages on its anks could be forced to ee.
Popo, as its commonly known, has
put out small eruptions of ash almost
daily since a round of eruptive activity
began in 1994. A week ago, the erup-
tions started growing larger and authori-
ties slightly elevated the alert level for
people living nearby.
Before dawn on Friday, the mountain
moved into what appeared to be a new
level of activity, spitting out dozens of
ash clouds and shot fragments of glow-
ing rock down its slopes while frighten-
ing the residents of surrounding villages
with deep roaring not heard in a decade.
People in the village of Xalitzintla
said they were awakened by a window-
rattling series of eruptions. Mexicos
National Disaster Prevention Center said
one string of eruptions ended in the early
morning, then the volcano started up
again at 5:05 a.m., with at least 12 erup-
tions in two hours.
Up on the mountain, it feels incredi-
ble, said Aaron Sanchez Ocelotl, 45,
who was in his turf grass elds when the
eruptions happened. It sounds like the
roaring of the sea.
A 35 million cubic foot (1 million
cubic meter) chamber of magma is
seething about six miles (8 to 10 kilome-
ters) beneath Popocatepetl, Roberto
Quaas, director of the disaster preven-
tion center, said at a news conference
laying out emergency preparations.
Scientists have no way of predicting
whether the molten rock in the chamber
will be slowly released, or erupt in a
powerful explosion like one on Dec. 18,
2000, that sent up a plume of red-hot
rock and forced the evacuation of thou-
sands of people who live at the volcanos
base, Quaas said.
Mexico preps as volcano spews ash
Tens of thousands protest military rule in Egypt
CAIRO Egypts Islamist and secular forces sought to
relaunch the street uprising against Egypts ruling military
Friday, packing Cairos Tahrir Square with tens of thousands of
protesters in the biggest rally in months and accusing the gen-
erals of manipulating upcoming presidential elections to pre-
serve their power.
But attempts by protest organizers to form a united front
against the military were blocked by competing agendas. The
protest was riven by distrust and resentments that have grown
between Islamists and liberals during the rocky, military-run
transition process since the fall of President Hosni Mubarak
more than a year ago.
Liberals and leftists accuse the Muslim Brotherhood of
abandoning the revolution months ago and allying with the
military in hopes of securing power. In Fridays rally, many
said the Brotherhood was only turning to the streets after the
generals proved more powerful in decision-making even after
an Islamist-dominated parliament was elected. The liberal
groups warned that the Brotherhood could accommodate the
military again for a chance to govern.
House panel to boost funds for Israels Iron Dome
WASHINGTON A House panel is boosting money for
Israels Iron Dome missile defense system by $680 million
amid an election-year ght over whether President Barack
Obama is doing enough for the longtime Mideast ally.
The Republican-controlled Armed Services Committee,
which begins crafting a scal 2013 defense budget next week,
plans millions more for the system designed to intercept short-
range rockets and mortars, according to a congressional aide.
The money would be in addition to the $205 million that the
Obama administration and Congress agreed to in a special
request in the 2011 budget and would cover several years,
through scal 2015.
The aide spoke on condition of anonymity in advance of the
formal announcement on the budget.
An increase in money for the program was expected as the
Pentagon said last month that it would work with Congress to
steer more funds to a system that has proven effective in inter-
cepting rockets and mortars red by Palestinian militants from
Gaza.
U.N. council reaches tentative agreement on Syria
UNITED NATIONS Frances UN Ambassador says the
Security Council has reached a tentative agreement on a reso-
lution that would expand the number of UN cease-fire
observers in Syria from 30 to 300.
Ambassador Gerard Araud says the text of a resolution nego-
tiated over many hours Friday would be sent to capitals
overnight and the Council would meet at 11 a.m. EDT
Saturday for a vote.

By Andrew Lyu
I
have long believed that students are
some of the least powerful members of
modern American society. My reason-
ing is plain and simple. Since students, the
majority under 18, have
no power to vote, they
are routinely ignored in
public policy decisions.
Students in elementary
and middle schools and a
vast majority of students
in high school are disen-
franchised. Of course, I
am not suggesting most
elementary and middle school students have
fully developed opinions about politics, but I
suspect many high school students do. The
fact that students do not have a voice in poli-
cy decisions is a problem.
I am not arguing that the voting age should
be lowered; however, I do believe that stu-
dents should nd some voice in politics.
Recently, I wrote a term paper for my gov-
ernment class concerning education reform in
the District of Columbia public school sys-
tem. Alarmingly, I found that many sources
argued that the public school system is
designed by adults, for adults. While I did
not nd the argument completely compelling,
in many respects there is some truth in the
idea that students do not have a large say
about what is right in education policy.
For example, at my high school, Aragon,
the faculty recently voted to incorporate a
block schedule for the 2012-13 school year. I
remember one teacher who questioned why
there had been no polling of the student body
as to whether to incorporate the new sched-
ule.
In a policy decision which would affect the
entire student body, Aragon students, many
with cognizant opinions on the issue, were
left out of the decision-making process.
After the voting result that a block schedule
would be incorporated was announced, sever-
al students were disgruntled. I heard one stu-
dent was so dissatised with the incorpora-
tion of a block schedule that she wanted to
start a petition to repeal it.
If there are studies which quantitatively
and qualitatively prove that a block schedule
is more benecial to the success of a student,
I would be more accepting of the top down
decision. I have yet to see such studies.
Although this new block schedule has no
effect on me (as I will be graduating this
spring), I see it as another case in which stu-
dents are ignored during the policy-making
process. It is for this reason that Michelle
Rhee, former chancellor of the D.C. school
system, started the campaign Students First
to try to give a political voice to students.
The advocacy of student interest, however,
is not limited to just an interest campaign led
by adults. Students have the power to make a

The Lucky One is yet another adap-
tation of a Nicholas Sparks novel, so you
know exactly what youre getting walk-
ing into this thing. Its predictable and
schmaltzy and sappy and smothered with
voiceover that explains the lms already
none-too-subtle themes of destiny and
fate and second chances.
And yet ... and yet.
In the hands of Shine director Scott
Hicks, it does what it needs to do to
please its target audience with a certain
tasteful artfulness and the comforting
familiarity of a 1950s melodrama. Its
utterly forgettable and offers zero surpris-
es but its also harmless date-night fare
made more appealing by the cast of Zac
Efron, Taylor Schilling and especially
Blythe Danner.
To put it on the spectrum of lms that
have sprung from the Sparks canon of
weepy romance novels, its not as good as
The Notebook but not as bad as
Nights in Rodanthe. And it does
represent the rst truly grown-up
performance yet from Efron, who
continues to establish his post-
High School Musical career with
eclectic if not necessarily commer-
cially successful choices.
Here he plays U.S. Marine
Sgt. Logan Thibault, whos
just returned from his third
tour in Iraq with an item he
credits with saving his life: a
photograph he picked up
off the ground of a beautiful
blonde sitting in front of a
lighthouse. Shaken from his
service, he doesnt know
whose it was or who she is
but he insists on nding her
to thank her.
Turns out shes Beth (Taylor
Schilling), a single mom who
runs a sprawling dog kennel in an
idyllic small town in the Louisiana
swamps. Naturally, Logan doesnt
tell her why hes there for a long
time, which (naturally) will serve
as the obligatory misunderstand-
ing after theyve (naturally) fallen
for each other. Their love scenes,
like every other element of
Hicks lm, are lighted in
a way that gives every-
thing an impossibly
warm, romantic glow.
You can roll your eyes,
or you can give in.
Same goes for Efrons
character, who takes a
job helping out at the
kennel just to be near
Beth and her family,
which includes her
bright, shy young son
Ben (Riley Thomas
Stewart, who manages
to avoid kid-actor pre-
cociousness).

Disney chief quits
after John Carter
loses $200 million
By Ryan Nakashima
LOS ANGELES Disney movie studio boss Rich Ross
stepped down on Friday, taking the fall for at least a couple of
over-budgeted bombs as Hollywood shies
away from taking risks on big block-
busters.
His resignation comes after two years in
a row of nasty March surprises, ironically
both having to do with the Red Planet. Last
year it was Mars Needs Moms, a creepy
animated movie that lost $70 million. This
year, it was John Carter, a sci- action
movie set on Mars that resulted in a $200
million loss for Disney.
Ross, 50, said in a memo to staff that he no longer believed
his role as chairman of Walt Disney Studios was the right pro-
fessional t.
The move was not surprising to analysts, coming a few
months after studio marketing chief MT Carney also departed
because of a string of lackluster releases.
Disney CEO Bob Iger, who said last summer that big-budg-
et movies were getting increasingly more risky, thanked
Ross for his years of service.
The Walt Disney Co.s stock increased 27 cents to close
Friday at $42.35.
Disneys most successful movies recently have been made
by studios it has bought, including Toy Story maker Pixar,
which releases Brave in June, and Marvel, which will release
the much-buzzed The Avengers overseas next week.
Under the Touchstone brand, Disney also distributes movies
made by Steven Spielbergs DreamWorks production compa-
ny, including War Horse.
Fixing problems at the studio is seen as crucial for the com-
pany, because movies launch characters that are developed into
Disney toys, theme park rides, books and video games. For
example, Cars Land, an attraction based on the Pixar movies,
will open at Disney California Adventure in June.
For Disney, it feeds a lot bigger value chain, Sanford C.
Bernstein analyst Todd Juenger said. This is a more signi-
cant move for investors of Disney than it would be at other
companies.
Although some of Rosss troubles stemmed from lms put
into production by his predecessor, Dick Cook, analysts said
his inability to prevent big losses was what led to his exit.
At some level he takes responsibility for not xing them or
shutting them down, Needham & Co. equity analyst Laura
Martin said. They need to lower the risk of entry and build
franchise lms from that base. Not go all in, hoping it works
out.
Part of the estimated $250 million budget on John Carter
can be attributed to the notion that the movie could become a
multi-part series, as it was based on a trove of books by the late
Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Things are bustin out all over in

restored version of The Cockettes 1972 musi-
cal extravaganza Hot Greeks, a take-off on
Lysistrata by Aristophanes. The 411 B.C. ver-

womens mission to end The Peloponnesian
War by withholding sexual privileges from
their husbands and lovers as a means of forc-
ing the men to negotiate peace. In Hot Greeks,
Athens University takes on Sparta State for
their annual pigskin showdown, with the Tri
Thigh Sorority girls and their hunky footballer
sweethearts jiving to the big-band hit parade
sounds of the 1940s. The kids sing and dance

AN ASIDE: Director Russell Blackwood
said, The setting for the musical comedy Hot
Greeks is somewhere between antiquity and
the 1940s. It is an outrageous mash-up
between three seemingly diverse theatrical
genres. The ancient Greek comedy Lysistrata
by Aristophanes is the musicals source. That
original production was performed in Athens
by an all-male cast as part of a festival for
Dionysus, the god of wine, ritual madness and
ecstasy. Skip ahead to Hollywoods Golden
Age and the next inuence, Pigskin Parade,
the 1936 college movie musical about win-
ning the big football game against Yale and
the feature lm debut of the 14-year-old Judy
Garland (one inspiration for Leda, a character
in Hot Greeks). Martin Worman and
Scrumbly Koldewyn wrote Hot Greeks in
1972 for the psychedelisized, drag theater
troupe The Cockettes, a group made up main-
ly of gay men, which also included straight
guys, women and a baby. It was rst per-
formed, live on stage, at The Palace Theatre in
San Francisco as centerpiece of The
Nocturnal Dreamshow, one of the earliest
midnight movie programs.
OH, AND DID YOU KNOW?: The
Cockettes exerted a profound inuence on
popular culture, from the phenomenon of
midnight movies to glitter rock stars and their
outrageous fashions. The Cockettes were the
subject of a 2002 documentary, The
Cockettes.

H
alf Dome in Yosemite
National Park, an iconic visu-
al representing the American
West, is famous for many reasons.
Many of us grew up seeing Half Dome
memorialized in the black-and-white
photographs of Ansel Adams. However
for nature lovers and backpackers, Half
Dome represents one of the most ardu-
ous trails in North America, especially
the final 400 feet of cable-assisted
climbing to the top.
Unfortunately, the number of hikers
wanting to scale Half Dome has super-
seded what the U.S. National Park
Service deems environmentally sus-
tainable and safe for the public.
According to its website
(www.nps.gov), in 2008, nearly 1,200
people a day attempted the summit
using the Domes cables. Given a rising
number of recent deaths and an issue
with crowding along the cables,
Yosemite established an interim permit
process in 2010, requiring hiking per-
mits for Friday, Saturday and Sunday
ascents.
This year, permits are required every
day for individuals on the Half Dome
Trail beyond the subdome with only
400 hikers permitted each day. The per-
mits are for the entire season when the
cables are up, which traditionally runs
from Memorial Day to around
Columbus Day (May 25 to Oct. 8).
In another change, this years permits
will be allocated via lottery system.
According to the site:
The National Park Service will hold
two sets of permit lotteries. A single
preseason lottery application period
will occur from March 1 to March 31,
2012, with results announced in early
April. This lottery will cover all dates
the cables are expected to be up that
year. Permits for 300 people per day
will be available through this lottery.
In addition, NPS will hold a daily
lottery throughout the Half Dome hik-
ing season, which allows for more
spontaneous trip planning. This lottery
will have an application period two
days in advance of the hiking date with
lottery results announced late that
night.

Leighton Sheley, Senior Pastor
increasing, this sort of throwback aimed
squarely at little kids feels very old school.
The divisions first release, in 2007, Earth,
pulled in an impressive $108 million world-
wide and its follow-up, Oceans, earned
$82 million. African Cats dropped to $21
million, a figure perhaps more in the range
of what this one will do.
Everyone loves chimps for the simple rea-
son that to regard them is, but for a slight
biological rearrangement, to look at our-
selves. The close-together forward-looking
eyes, warm child rearing, manipulation of
tools, omnivore habits, communal spirit and
general intelligence are undeniably relat-
able, even if humans generally see the ani-
mals only in the relative isolation of captiv-
ity.
Catching them on home turf in Africa is
not easy, as they generally live in dense jun-
gle, are not keen to be surrounded by a cam-
era crew and can easily scamper off faster
than they can be followed through the bush.
So high marks to Alastair Fothergill and
Mark Linfield, who also directed Earth
together (Fothergill also codirected African
Cats) for finding a way to comprehensively
cover a particular group of chimps in the Tai
Forest for a period of time long enough for
young chimp Oscar to grow and learn a few
survival tricks. Points, too, for the excep-
tionally observant and graceful camerawork
of Martyn Colbeck and Bill Wallauer
(Warwick Sloss did additional shooting),
which brings the viewer in close and looks
beautiful in the bargain.
The storyline the filmmakers stitched
together from incidents that took place dur-
ing the shoot follows the survival and educa-
tion of Oscar, definitely a cute little bugger,
as he learns to fit in with an extended fami-
ly of about 36 chimps led by grand old man
Freddy. Oscars mother Isha, who is meant
to nurse him until hes about five, instructs
her son in the finer points of selecting
berries and nuts, the latter being highly cov-
eted by a rival chimp tribe.
The film runs into trouble the moment it
introduces the chief of the rival group as
Scar. From that point, repeated references
to Scar and his gang or his mob suggest
that there are such things as good and evil
chimpanzee clans, with nasty predators like
Scars crew (tellingly never seen with young
offspring or identifiable females) preying
upon nice groups such as Freddys, whose
worst transgression is a raid into some high
trees against some colobus monkeys, one of
which ends up as a (virtually unseen) meal.
At the Hollywood press screening, a number
of moms with small kids made for the exits
after this scene, so its a good thing the film-
makers skipped the matter of chimpanzee
cannibalism (a favorite Animal Planet
topic).
After an attack by Scar and his thugs
make an orphan of Oscar, the little guy looks
like hell soon be a goner too until Freddy
takes him under his wing, a rarity for an
alpha male. This is very nice and all, but by
this time the uncredited narration, voiced in
cornball fashion by Tim Allen, has made this
turn of events seem like old-style Disney
hokum whether it actually happened this
way or not.
The score by Nicholas Hooper, who also
did African Cats, moves easily between the
jaunty and the dramatic. As before, this
Disneynature feature will be released in con-
junction with Earth Day. An unspecified
fraction of every ticket sold during the first
week will be donated to the Jane Goodal
Institute through the Disney Worldwide
Conservation Fund for the protection of
chimpanzees, which, a climactic title
informs, have seen their population in the
wild decrease from one million in 1960 to a
fifth of that number.
Chimpanzee, a Disney release, is rated
G. Running time: 78 minutes.
CHIMP
arrival of the latest documentary in the
Disneynature series Chimpanzee, so heres
a look at ve great movies about primates:
King Kong (1933): The original, of
course, although there have been countless
remakes and homages, including Peter
Jacksons Oscar-winning 2005 version star-
ring Naomi Watts and Adrian Brody. The
gorilla is big, scary and misunderstood; the
damsel in distress is blonde, beautiful and fas-
cinated. Surely I dont have to explain to you
guys why King Kong matters, do I? This is
an instance in which use of the word iconic
is not hyperbole. Lets just all acknowledge
that and move on.
Planet of the Apes (1968): Once again,
the original, although the sorta-prequel, sorta-
reboot Rise of the Planet of the Apes from
last year had its thrills and was a huge box
ofce hit, grossing over $300 million world-
wide. Its interesting to note that Andy Serkis
was responsible for the performance-capture
work in both the 2011 Apes and the 2005
Kong that it takes high-tech special
effects trickery to make us feel the humanity
in these tormented creatures. The rst Planet
of the Apes wasnt concerned with convinc-
ing visuals; it was an allegory about racism,
provided Charlton Heston with one of his
most famous roles and served up one of the
biggest twists in lm history.
Project Nim (2011): This documentary
from Oscar-winner James Marsh (Man on
Wire) takes a heartbreaking look at a science
experiment gone wrong. Columbia University
researchers in the 1970s took a baby chimp
from his mother when he was just a few days
old and whisked him away to a distant place
where he knew no one. They raised him
among humans, dressed him in kids clothes,
taught him sign language and even smoked
pot with him. Their hope was to achieve a
breakthrough in the way humans and animals
communicate; their reality was far more vio-
lent and sobering.
Every Which Way But Loose (1978):
Clint Eastwood shows his goofy side in one of
his earliest comedies, starring as a truck driv-
er and bare-knuckle boxer whose best friend
is an orangutan named Clyde. Together the
two prowl around drinking beer, bar hopping
and getting into brawls. I have fond memories
of watching this movie as a kid with its catch
phrase, Right turn, Clyde. Its also notable
for the presence of Ruth Gordon as
Eastwoods saucy, foul-mouthed mother and
an extremely 70s, country-tinged theme song
from Eddie Rabbitt.
The Wizard of Oz (1939): Granted, its
not really about the monkeys. And granted, I
do write about The Wizard of Oz a lot. But
the ying monkeys are seared into my brain
from childhood. Theyre so scary, they made
me cower at my mothers feet behind the cof-
fee table during our annual holiday viewing of
the lm. In retrospect, no, they dont look ter-
ribly convincing. But theyre functioning at
the behest of the Wicked Witch of the West.
And they seem to take such joy in chasing
Dorothy and friends through the forest; one of
them even looks like hes smiling as he kid-
naps Toto. And did we mention that they can
y?
FIVE
difference in their societies. Though I per-
sonally do not know the student who called
for a petition to repeal the block schedule at
Aragon, I wish to give her kudos for wanting
to bring student voice to the decision-making
table. It is student activism like this which
will give students more power in education
policy.
Looking at a broader scope, student politi-
cal activism in elds beyond education is just
as important. Aragons highly active Gay-
Straight Alliance club recently supported the
Day of Silence movement just this past
Friday which aimed to protest the bullying
and harassment of LGBT students and their
supporters. Though Day of Silence was not
an explicitly political movement, it is notable
the American youth are more in favor of
legalizing same-sex marriage than any other
age group. The KONY 2012 movement,
which also had its monumental date this past
Friday, was another grassroots political cam-
paign targeted at youth. With youth support,
the Invisible Children organization gained
enough publicity to push an act through
Congress.
Students will likely continue to be disen-
franchised in the future, for logical reasons;
however this does not mean students will
continue to lack a voice in the policy-deci-
sion process. Hopefully, with growing politi-
cal activism at high schools, one day students
will have more say not only in education pol-
icy but in national policy as well.

Council several lists of recommendations,
including cuts, increases and revenue options.
Several could get the city to a budget surplus
no small feat after more than a decade of cuts.
Unlike past budgeting when department
heads were given specic target amounts to lop
off, Maltbie and Administrative Services
Director Rebecca Mendenhall met individually
with each one and then together as a group. The
philosophy now is to ensure the citys core
municipal services are protected while reducing
programs and services that may be important to
the community but are not vital to its future
operation.
The most signicant changes over last years
budget include the creation of an economic
development division in community develop-
ment, the addition of a city engineer position
and a $30,000 drop in funding to maintain
equipment. The budget recommendations com-
ing to the City Council for consideration
Monday night include three increases totaling
$16,600 in scal 2013 followed by three
increases the next year totaling $107,400. Five
other requests are not being recommended.
The increases, in priority order, are $4,000
each year for the commissioner/volunteer
recognition dinner and $75,000 each year for a
contract to implement the economic develop-
ment plan. The city would also use $27,600 and
$28,400 each year for dedicated school zone
trafc enforcement.
Maltbie is also suggesting $348,400 and
$441,4000 in revenue options for the next two
years, respectively. These include expansion of
the adult soccer league, an increase in the nan-
cial services contract with the South Bayside
Waste Management Authority, leasing a city-
owned right of way for a new billboard and
extending the Kiwanis Building lease to Arbor
Bay School rather than reclaiming it.
If the City Council approves all the options,
the budget would have a $46,640 surplus.
The list of priority cuts include $125,300
worth in scal year 2013 followed by $240,100
in scal year 2014. The ongoing reductions are
reorganizing the Community Development
Department, cutting the Healthy Cities Tutoring
Program in 2014 an and using outside contrac-
tors in place of a building maintenance worker.
Those ideas would generate a $171,940 sur-
plus in scal year 2013 and $300,740 in scal
year 2014.
The total general fund revenue of $25.9 mil-
lion is 4 percent higher than previously predict-
ed but still short of the recommended gure for
scal year 2013. The changes include an
increase in revenue from permits and fees a
large piece from the PAMF medical campus
project but also reductions due to the elimi-
nation of red light cameras and fewer agency
grants. Property, sales and transient occupancy
taxes are also up.
On the other hand, expenses are also up
because of salaries and benets, retirement,
medical rates and operating expenditures.
The San Carlos City Council meets 7 p.m.
Monday, April 23 at the Library, Second Floor
Conference Rooms, 610 Elm St., San Carlos.
BUDGET
fund, Kline said, weighed equally with other
state programs.
Its not good scal policy, Kline said.
The legislation will be heard in the
Transportation and Housing Committee next
week.
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, told
the Daily Journal he likes Marks bill.
The state is also working on ensuring that bil-
lions set aside for affordable housing collected
by redevelopment agencies over the years will
still go toward the construction of new afford-
able housing units, Hill said.
RDAs were required to set aside 20 percent of
all tax proceeds for affordable housing and
Assembly Bill 1585, co-authored by Hill, will
allow for low- and moderate-income housing
funds from a dissolved RDA to be transferred to
successor agencies, generally the city, to be
applied toward building affordable housing.
San Mateo County is one of the least afford-
able in the state in the rental market, said Joshua
Hugg, program director with the Housing
Leadership Council of San Mateo County.
DeSaulniers legislation does not replace the
loss of RDA funds, Hugg said, but will help ll
the gap.
We are strong supporters of the legislation,
Hugg said.
The HOMeS Trust Fund will require two
thirds support in the Legislature for passage.
DeSaulnier told the Daily Journal it will be a
challenge to pass with the two-thirds require-
ment.
Areas like San Mateo, Contra Costa and San
Francisco counties need affordable housing,
DeSaulnier said. Otherwise, people will be
commuting farther to work and they just cant
afford it.
The need for affordable housing is high in
San Mateo County and the Bay Area. Last year,
MidPen Housing opened Peninsula Station in
San Mateo, a 68-unit family housing project that
had more than 1,300 applicants.
Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, D-San
Francisco, has introduced legislation, AB 585,
to create tax increment nancing zones within a
half mile of a transit hub.
The bill includes a 20 percent set aside for
affordable housing, similar to the RDA laws.
Ma supports DeSaulniers bill.
I completely support this bill and others like
it to create and preserve affordable housing
around the state, Ma wrote the Daily Journal in
an email. San Francisco has always been a
leader in providing affordable housing options
to working families. SB 1220 continues the
important work that redevelopment agencies
made to grow our economies and keep our com-
munities strong.
DeSaulnier does not like raising fees or taxes
generally, especially when the economy is slug-
gish, but said the legislation will help to create
jobs and provide housing for those most in need.
HOUSING
eral similar suits over seating and said this
class action matter is no different in arguing
that California labor law allows a worker to sit
if they can accomplish the same work as if
standing.
The retailer is not the one to decide who
gets a seat or not, he said.
Sharma worked as a cashier and greeter at
the East Palo Alto store for seven years
between October 2005 to September 2011.
Righetti did not know if Sharma specically
asked for a chair and was denied prior to leav-
ing his position at Home Depot.
Either way, Righetti said a request along
with a workers age and physical condition
makes no difference when a denial under any
circumstances violates labor law which hold
that all working employees be provided suit-
able seats when the nature of the work reason-
ably permits the use of seats.
Righetti said Home Depots policy is to
refuse a chair to all employees unless they can
provide a medical note about their condition
and that once a limitation such as pregnancy
or twisted ankle is resolved they are again
expected to stand.
Even that limited exception shows that the
work can be done while seated, Righetti said.
Home Depot corporate headquarters
declined to discuss its seating policies, citing
the ongoing litigation, but spokesman Stephen
Holmes said the company plans to ght the
claim.
We disagree with the claims presented in
this suit and intend to vigorously defend our
position in the proper forum, Holmes said.
The suit is currently scheduled for a com-
plex case status conference June 7 followed by
a case management conference Aug. 22.
Righetti said he does not anticipate a settle-
ment as retailers have previously spent tens
of millions to litigate even as rulings sup-
porting seating have been afrmed by appel-
late courts. In November 2010, the courts
overturned a lower courts decision tossing a
suit against 99 Cents Only stores after the
companys lawyers argued the wording about
suitable seating was a suggestion rather than
law. The appellate court called the interpreta-
tion contrary to common sense and that ruling
was later used to afrm the seating law in a
different suit against Home Depot.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Hubert D. Forsyth
Case Number 122196
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Hubert D. Forsyth. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Thomas Forsyth, John Forsyth & Laura
Bolin in the Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo. The Petition for
Probate requests that Thomas Forsyth,
John Forsyth & Laura Bolin be appointed
as personal representative to administer
the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: May 7, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo, 400 County Cen-
ter, Redwood City, CA 94063. If you ob-
ject to the granting of the petition, you
should appear at the hearing and state
your objections or file written objections
with the court before the hearing. Your
appearance may be in person or by your
attorney. If you are a creditor or a con-
tingent creditor of the decedent, you
must file your claim with the court and
mail a copy to the personal representa-
tive appointed by the court within four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters as provided in Probate Code sec-
tion 9100. The time for filing claims will
not expire before four months from the
hearing date noticed above. You may
examine the file kept by the court. If you
are a person interested in the estate, you
may file with the court a Request for
Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing
of an inventory and appraisal of estate
assets or of any petition or account as
provided in Probate Code section 1250.
A Request for Special Notice form is
available from the court clerk.
