HUGE TORNADO HITS OKLAHOMA

Hockey moms have showed up
in force at City Council meetings
and at the Bridgepointe Shopping
Center in recent weeks in an effort
to save the Ice Center of San
Mateo from imminent closure.
They have marched with signs,
said the public process has been
non-transparent and insist that
even though SPI Holdings,
Bridgepointes owner, will termi-
nate the lease with the ice rinks
operator that a rink can survive at
the location with a new operator.
SPI, however, has withdrawn its
pre-application with the city to
amend Bridgepointes master
plan, which calls for a recreational
amenity similar to an ice rink on
the property.
SPI had previously offered the
city a turfed athletic eld at any
city park in exchange for allowing
it to provide the required recre-
ational amenity off site. Company
ofcials have said the rink will be
carved up for new retail uses,
which will provide the city with
more sales tax revenue than it gets
from the ice skating crowd.

end of the month, SPI will take

Publicist: Founding member
of The Doors dies at 74
Ray Manzarek, the keyboardist and
founding member of The Doors who
had a dramatic impact on rock n roll,
has died. He was 74.
Manzarek died Monday at the
RoMed Clinic in Rosenheim,
Germany, surrounded by his family,
said publicist Heidi Robinson-
Fitzgerald. Robinson-Fitzgerald said
his manager, Tom Vitorino, conrmed
Manzarek died around 3:30 p.m. EDT,
after being stricken by bile duct can-
cer.
Manzarek founded The Doors after
meeting then-poet Jim Morrison in
California. The band went on to
become one of the most successful
rock n roll acts to emerge from the
1960s and continues to resonate with
fans decades after Morrisons death
brought an effective end to the band.
The Chicago native continued to
remain active in music after
Morrisons 1971 death. He briefly
tried to hold the band together by serv-
ing as vocalist, but eventually the
group fell apart. He played in other
bands over the years, produced other
acts, became an
author and worked
on lms.
The Doors were
inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame and
Manzarek is among
the most notable
keyboard players
in rock history. His
lead-instrument work with the band at
a time when the guitar often dominated
added a distinct end-times avor that
matched Morrisons often out there
imagery and persona.
The group is best known for hits
like L.A.Woman, Break On
Through to the Other Side, The End
and Light My Fire and came to sym-
bolize the decadence of Los Angeles as
the counterculture grew in the U.S.
Morrison and Manzarek met at
UCLA lm school and ran into each
other in Venice a few months after
graduation, Manzarek recounted in a
1967 interview with Billboard.
Outwardly the two seemed so differ-
ent. The strikingly tall, dark and hand-
some Morrison looked the part of rock
star, while Manzarek, with glasses and
comparatively close-cropped blonde
hair, retained a more professorial
look.
Inwardly, though, they were kindred
spirits, as Manzarek discovered when
Morrison read him the lyrics for a
song called Moonlight Drive.

Christian Rosales understood that educa-
tion was power at a very young age.
With his family, he immigrated to the
United States as a toddler. His mother left
her career as a doctor and his father became
a janitor at Stanford University to support
a dream of educational opportunity for
their children.
Its really inspiring, he said of his par-
ents.
Rosales, the youngest of the five kids,
was taken under the wing of his older
brother who taught him soccer. Spending
his younger years in East Palo Alto,
Rosales decided to focus on academics and
sports from a young age. Now, the teen
who turns 18 today is preparing to graduate
Eastside College Preparatory School with
plans to attend the University of
California at Los Angeles. Rosales hopes
to become the type of teacher who inspired
him to excel.
Christian is a kind-hearted, respectful,
diligent, charismatic leader. He has aspira-
tions of becoming a high school principal
some day; he will make an incredible
school leader, as he is already a leader
among his peers this year, said computer
science teacher Ryan Atkins, adding that
Rosales is highly respected by both stu-
dents and staff.
Rosales pointed to an eighth grade
teacher at Garfield, which was a charter
school at the time, who really inspired
him. He was the kind of teacher who could
help straighten out students involved in
gangs and drugs. Rosales noted students
going down the wrong path were set
straight in that class, by that teacher.
Spending many years of his youth sur-
rounded by that kind of negativity and vio-
lence, Rosales likes the idea of making an
impact.
He doesnt remember the switch from
Mexico to the United States Rosales was
only 2. However, he has returned to
Mexico multiple times to play soccer.
Soccers been a focus for Rosales since
starting at 5. His brother would help him
with drills. Soccer helped Rosales find
confidence. He began playing for a travel-
ing team at 7. Since then, Rosales even
auditioned for semi-pro teams and made the
cut, but decided to stay with education
rather than leaving school early.
Prior to entering Eastside, Rosales par-
ents worked to cover the costs of moving
to Menlo Park. So, when their youngest
son came forward with a plan to transfer
from high school to a school in East Palo
Alto the place from where they had
worked hard to move there were con-
cerns.
The change has been a positive one for
Rosales who found a new home for himself
at Eastside. He joined cross country to
strengthen his endurance and continued to
play soccer but for a club team. Rosales
said the experience has helped him master
time management. He used school tutorial
time to keep up with his studies. From the
start, Rosales excelled at soccer on campus
becoming a leader who others admired a
further confidence boost for the teen.
And, although it may not seem as though
hed have time, Rosales made time for
other activities like tutoring and coaching
community kids in soccer.
Eastsides graduation will be held 5 p.m.
Thursday, May 30, at the school quad,
1041 Myrtle St., East Palo Alto. Tickets
are not required.
Great Grads is in its eighth year profiling
one graduating senior from each of our local
schools. Schools have the option to partic-
ipate. Those that choose to participate are
asked to nominate one student who deserves
recognition.

Millbrae must decide how to ll the vacan-
cy on the City Council created by the unex-
pected death of Vice Mayor Nadia Holober.
Holober, who died of lung cancer May 8,
was serving her third term. She was origi-

she took a two-year gap from the council
from 2007-09 before being re-elected. Her
term ends this November. On Tuesday, the
council will discuss how to ll her spot.
Filling a vacancy can be done through an
appointment or a special election. If the
council were to put the question before vot-

ularly scheduled Nov. 5 election, according
to a city staff report. Alternatively, the
council could discuss an interim appoint-

an appointment process.

BERKELEY Gov. Jerry Brown said
Monday that he does not know if the San
Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge will open
over Labor Day weekend because of safety
concerns.
Its the first time the governor acknowl-
edged serious worries about the structural
integrity of the $6.4 billion infrastructure
project to build a new eastern span of the
bridge. Brown had dismissed concerns
about broken bolts earlier this month.
Now, the governor said the state is
reviewing construction documents going
back as far as the administration of former
Gov. Gray Davis, who served from 1999
to 2003.
Its a pretty big issue, Brown told
reporters before delivering a graduation
speech for University of California,
Berkeley political science students. I
drive across that bridge, too.
The new bridge is replacing a span dam-
aged during the 1989 Loma Prieta earth-
quake. Its already years late and billions
of dollars over budget.
State transportation officials recently
disclosed that nearly three dozen seismic
safety bolts on the eastern span of the
bridge had broken. The bolts, or rods,
each 17- to 24-feet long, connect the
bridge deck to so-called shear keys, which
are large shock absorbers that control
movement during an earthquake.
I take it very seriously, and that
t hi ngs not going to open unless its
ready, Brown said Monday. And the
engineers are telling me that theyre
doing the kind of work that will be needed
for that.
Just three months ago, Brown had par-
ticipated in an event to count down the
bridges opening.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
County residents interested in deciding
how the new supervisorial district lines are
drawn have ve opportunities this summer
to make their voices heard at meetings with
the committee that will make the nal rec-
ommendations.
The rst meeting is June 6 in San Mateo
followed by four more throughout San
Mateo County.
Each hearing will include the nine-mem-
ber boundary adjustment committee named
by the Board of Supervisors to carry out the
remapping required by the charter change
voters approved in November. The measure
moved the county from supervisors being
chosen by voters countywide to a system in
which only voters in a specific district
choose a supervisor that lives in that dis-
trict. The county already has supervisorial
districts drawn but is reviewing the lines
and possibly making tweaks before the
next election. Districts must be approxi-
mately equal in population and the supervi-
sors may also consider other factors like
topography, geography, cohesiveness and
community interests.
The meetings will also include a report
from a demographer and those interested
can learn how to use an online mapping
tool to review the current lines. The com-
mittee will also open the oor to public
comment.
The meetings are:
6:30 p.m. Thursday, June 6 at the Martin
Luther King Jr. Community Center, 725
Monte Diablo Ave., San Mateo;
9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, June
15 at Cunha Intermediate School Library,
600 Church St., Half Moon Bay;
6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 18
at the War Memorial Community Center,
6655 Mission St., Daly City;
6:30 p.m. to 8: 30 p.m. Tuesday, June
25 in the East Palo Alto Council Chambers,
2415 University Ave., East Palo Alto;
6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, July
11 at the Millbrae Community Center, 477
Lincoln Circle, Millbrae.
The committee members chosen by the
Board are: Supervisors Adrienne J. Tissier
and Warren Slocum; Gonzalo Sal Torres, a
Daly City councilman; Laura Martinez, an
East Palo Alto councilwoman; and public
members: Hayden Lee of Millbrae;
Raymond Lee of San Mateo; Barbara Arietta
of Pacica; William Nack of Menlo Park;
and Rebecca Ayson of Daly City. Each pub-
lic member resides in one of the ve current
districts.

Resident of Carmichael, CA
George J. Blondino Beloved husband of
Lillian Blondino his wife of 72 years who
passed in 2008, beloved father of George
S. Blondino of El Dorado Hills and Doreen
Foote of Dunnigan, California, and loving
father-in-law of Leona V. Blondino and
Richard Foote. He was the loving grandfather
to Denise Urdahl, Annette Foote, Dennis
Foote, Michael Blondino, Vicki Blondino,
Stacie Enns, and 14 great grandchildren and
4 great-great grandchildren. George was a
native of San Francisco and lived in Redwood City for over 53 years before moving
to Carmichael, California where he resided at Carmichael Oaks an Assisted Living
facility. Georges move to Carmichael Oaks was so that he could be close to a
convalescent facility where he was able to visit and care for his wife. His daily
visit to his wife, who was suffering from dementia, was inspirational to the entire
Blondino family.
He was a kind, gentle man, who worked hard his entire life to support his young
family, especially during the Depression years by taking on any job he could
find. The struggled ended when he was employed by the City and County of San
Francisco where he retired at the age of 59. He also worked as a personal trainer
on a part time basis at Dennis Nelsons Health Club in Redwood City. He spent
his retirement years traveling with his wife Lillian visiting many tourist locations
in the Western United States, and family in Friday Harbor, Washington. Theyre
favorite vacation spot was to the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii.
Remembering George: So when you think of his smile, and his laugh, especially
after a good story, may you be reminded of all the good times we shared with him.
When you talk about the kind of person he was, you will feel even prouder than ever.
And when you hear all the stories people tell about him, it will bring you an even
richer understanding of how much he meant to everyone lucky enough to know him.
As a remembrance to George his family wishes that any donations in his memory be
made to The George Blondino Youth Baseball Fund, C/O the Silicon Valley Community
Foundation, 2440 West El Camino Real, Suite 300, Mountain View, California, 94040-

Proposed measure
requires doctor drug tests
A proposed state ballot measure in
California would require doctors to be ran-

His young son and daughter were killed a
decade ago by a driver under the inuence of
alcohol and prescription pills.
Packs campaign already is armed with $2
million in funding and will launch this sum-

By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Our
countrys economic
roller-coaster ride
has been interesting
and historic for
sure, but also very
troubling for many
families whove not
been as financially stable as others.
Recently though Ive been observing a
phenomenon with those we serve at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS. It may
be too early to confirm, but it appears that
there is a general state of confidence with
many families, along with the decisions and
choices they make during funeral
arrangements. Yes, I know you are thinking
that confidence is not a term you would
use to coincide with funeral arrangements,
but it appears to me that people I see are
tending to be more financially assured than
during the deepest years of The Great
Recession.
They say that the two things you cant
avoid are death and taxes. With that in
mind, during the economic downturn I saw a
very noticeable sense of thrift and
prudence with a lot of families who
experienced a death during that period.
Still, those who tended to cost shop at
various funeral homes selected CHAPEL
OF THE HIGHLANDS to handle funeral or
cremation arrangements. These families
found comfort with our service, and notably
with our more economic cost structure.
Now, lately the trend with families and
their funeral choices reminds me of the days
way before the recession hit. Its not that
people are utilizing their funds differently,
spending more or spending less, but that
they are more assertive and confident when
using their wallet. Seeing this over and over
gives me a good indication that something in
the economic climate is changing compared
to not that long ago.
Even though many of our honorable
elected officials in Sacramento and
Washington D.C. appear to be as inflexible
with economic issues as always, the air of
confidence with the families Ive been
dealing with means to me that these people
are feeling less pressured financially.
It is well known that when businesses do
well they hire more employees, and when
those employees are confident they will
spend their money on goods and services.
In turn, the companies that provide goods
and services will need competent employees
to create more goods, give more services,
and so onmaking a positive circle for a
healthy economy. In relation to that, after a
long period of U.S. manufacturing jobs
being sent over-seas there is news of a
growing number of companies bringing this
work back to the United States. Real Estate
values on the Peninsula remained in a good
state during the recession, but houses here
are now in demand more than ever.
Encouraging Hopeful and Positive
are words to describe the optimistic
vibrations that people are giving off. If the
community is becoming more comfortable
with spending, that indicates good health for
business and the enrichment of our
economic atmosphere. I hope Im right, so
lets all keep our fingers crossed.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON New government g-
ures underscore the staggering long-term
consequences of military sexual assaults:
More than 85,000 veterans were treated
last year for injuries or illness linked to the
abuse, and 4,000 sought disability bene-
t s.
The Department of Veterans Affairs
accounting, released in response to
inquiries from the Associated Press, shows
a heavy nancial and emotional cost that
affects several generations of veterans and
lasts long after a victim leaves the service.
Sexual assault or repeated sexual harass-
ment can trigger a variety of health prob-
lems, primarily post-traumatic stress disor-
der and depression. While women are more
likely to be victims, men made up nearly
40 percent of the patients the VAtreated for
conditions connected to what it calls mil-
itary sexual trauma.
It took years for Ruth Moore of
Milbridge, Maine, to begin getting treat-
ment from a VAcounseling center in 2003
16 years after she was raped twice while
she was stationed in Europe with the Navy.
She continues to get counseling at least
monthly for PTSD linked to the attacks and
is also considered fully disabled.
We cant cure me, but we can work on
stability in my life and work on issues as
they arrive, Moore said.
VA ofcials stress that any veteran who
claims to have suffered military sexual trau-
ma has access to free health care.
It really is the case that a veteran can
simply walk through the door, say
theyve had this experience, and we will
get them hooked up with care. Theres no
documentation required. They dont need
to have reported it at the time, said Dr.
Margret Bell, a member of the VAs mili-
tary sexual trauma team.
However, the hurdles are steeper for those
who seek disability compensation too
steep for some veterans groups and law-
makers who support legislation designed
to make it easier for veterans to get a
monthly disability payment.
Right now, the burden of proof is
stacked against sexual trauma survivors,
said Anu Bhagwati, executive director of
the Service Womens Action Network.
Ninety percent of 26,000 cases last year
werent even reported. So where is that evi-
dence supposed to come from?
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has said
reducing the incidence of sexual assaults in
the military is a top priority. But its a
decades-old problem with no easy x, as
made even more apparent when an Air Force
ofcer who headed a sexual assault preven-
tion ofce was arrested recently on sexual
battery charges.
We will not stop until weve seen this
scourge, from what is the greatest military
in the world, eliminated, Obama said after
summoning top Pentagon ofcials to the
White House last week to talk about the
problem. Not only is it a crime, not only
is it shameful and disgraceful, but it also is
going to make and has made the military
less effective than it can be.
The VAsays 1 in 5 women and 1 in 100
men screen positive for military sexual
trauma, which the VAdenes as any sexual
activity where you are involved against
your will. Some report that they were vic-
tims of rape, while others say they were
groped or subjected to verbal abuse or other
forms of sexual harassment.
But not all those veterans seek health
care or disability benets related to the
attacks. The 85,000 who sought outpatient
care linked to military sexual trauma during
the latest scal year are among nearly 22
million veterans around the country.
Military sex abuse has long-term impact for vets
By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The Obama adminis-
tration said Monday it wants to see more
cuts to agriculture subsidies in a massive
farm bill moving through the Senate this
week.
The bill would cost almost $100 billion
a year over five years and would set policy
for farm programs and food aid. The legis-
lation would cut about $2.4 billion annu-
ally from overall farm spending and would
eliminate a controversial subsidy that is
paid to farmers whether they farm or not.
But it would still expand federally subsi-
dized crop insurance and raise subsidies
for rice and peanut farmers.
In a statement, the White House said it
supports the legislation but would like to
see more savings in the crop insurance and
farm subsidy programs. It did not specify
how large a cut it was seeking.
Almost $80 billion of the annual cost of
the bill is for domestic food aid, with most
of the rest of the money split between
farm subsidies, crop insurance and pro-
grams to protect environmentally sensi-
tive land.
The Senate began debating the bill
Monday afternoon, with Senate
Agriculture Committee chairwoman
Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., saying she
expects several amendments to be offered
on the crop insurance program. Stabenow
and other farm-state senators have argued
that crop insurance should be maintained
and even expanded because it protects
farmers when they need it most and farm-
ers contribute to the program.
Critics say federal contributions to crop
insurance are too generous and subsidize
big business.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., offered the
first crop insurance amendment Monday,
proposing an end to $33 million a year in
insurance policies for tobacco farmers. A
buyout for tobacco farmers enacted nine
years ago is phasing out government pay-
ments to tobacco farmers, but many of
them still receive crop insurance.
It turns out Joe Camels nose has been
under the tent this whole time in terms of
crop insurance subsidies, McCain said,
referring to a character that used to appear
on boxes of Camel cigarettes.
Cuts to the food stamp program are also
expected to be a contentious issue on the
Senate floor.
White House says more farm subsidy cuts needed
Right now, the burden of proof is stacked against sexual
trauma survivors. ... Ninety percent of 26,000 cases last year werent
even reported. So where is that evidence supposed to come from?

F
inally. Finally, the prominent for-
mer child psychiatrist William
Hamilton Ayres saw t to end the
circus his legal battle over child molesta-
tion charges had become. Finally, hes
done all but admit his culpability although
the no contest plea entered last week does
allow some wiggle room for appeals and
word twisting, as though the decision was
one to simply stop ghting rather than
concede the guilt of which so many people
are certain. And nally it is time for San
Mateo County, the county which not only
prosecuted him but rst gave him a big pat
on the shoulder with years of court and
school referrals, to take back the lifetime
achievement award it bestowed in 2002.
Nearly a dozen years ago, Ayres was her-
alded as a role model, as a minor celebrity
for his host of a popular sex ed series and
as head of the American Academy of Child
and Adolescent Psychiatry, as a pillar in
the community for his work with the coun-
tys youth all the while allegedly let me
be legally prudent here if not at all con-
vinced of the need for caution sexually
abusing dozens of young boys in his care.
But time has a funny way of tarnishing
even the most shiny of facades and even
back then Ayres reputation was starting to
get a little dull. San Mateo police were
already investigating him. At least one for-
mer patient was pointing ngers and ready-
ing a civil case in which Ayres would later
admit performing physical exams of the
boys as though what they had between
their legs had anything to do with what
was between their ears. Yet the San Mateo
County courts were still referring him
patients and the Board of Supervisors
lets hope blissfully unaware rather than
completely indifferent gave him the
Lifetime
Achievement
Award. An award
that honored him,
and I quote direct-
ly from the text,
for his tireless
effort to improve
the lives and ado-
lescents in San
Mateo County.
Improve? Little
did they know.
Yanking back
the proclamation
will be as symbolic as it having been
awarded. Ayres is 81 years old and had his
medical license stripped shortly after his
arrest so it is not as if the county rescind-
ing its honor will affect his livelihood.
Undoubtedly, Ayres career has also seen
the piling up of accolades many would
argue carry greater weight so chances are
he wont be crying over the loss of the
local award.
But the countys seal of approval is dif-
ferent. Ayres muddied his own backyard and
its time for the gatekeepers of that space
to put things right. Nobody sitting on the
current board can be held to answer for cel-
ebrating Ayres; all are gone and two
including now-Assemblyman Rich Gordon,
who actually introduced the resolution of
honor now sit in the state Legislature.
Perhaps that is for the best; this new board
doesnt necessarily see Ayres as the glori-
ed doctor he once was. Instead, it may see
him as those who only know his name
through news clippings and trial hours do
an elderly man who escaped prosecution
once through a mistrial, another through
faking dementia and, depending upon his
August sentencing, may not even see the
time behind bars that his victims, their
families and advocates feel is appropriate.
For while Ayres lifetime is heralded as one
of achievement, his former patients life-
times have been ones of nightmares, of
suicide, of criminality, of hoping beyond
hope that they and their stories will be
found as unimpeachable as the man they
once called doctor.
The revocation of the lifetime achieve-
ment award may be just a crumb of kind-
ness when stacked upon the atrocities
Ayres inicted but it is a crumb a hell of a
long time coming.
The board choosing not to act previous-
l y, despite repeated pleas by those with a
stake in the cause, is understandable. Every
man is innocent until proven guilty and it
would be uncouth to damn him before he
had his time before a judge and jury. But
that all changed last Thursday when Ayres
unexpectedly pleaded no contest to eight
felonies in return for as little as eight years
and as much as 22 years in prison. The
judge may show Ayres some leniency. Lets
hope the Board of Supervisors shows him
none, or more accurately, no more than the
past 10 years when it did nothing to show
its constituency and taxpayers that awards
it doles out are more than lip service. If the
board hopes not to make a mockery of
awards it most certainly chooses with a
degree of thought and consideration, it
must ensure lifetime achievement honors
do not go to those whose only achieve-
ment is in ruining others. The original
board may not have known better; this one
does.
If they dont act, who is to say what per-
son with county ties may be next up on the
podium? Perhaps former probation head
Stu Forrest can get a shiny, framed acco-
lade; he certainly hasnt been convicted
yet on his charges of child pornography
possession.
Signs are positive the current board will
do something. Supervisor Dave Pine is
hoping for a June 4 discussion of rescind-
ing the award, calling Ayres acts possibly
the most heinous in county history and
comparing his fall from grace to convicted
former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky.
At least one member of the former board
is ne with the idea. State Sen. Jerry Hill
supports the effort to rescind Ayres award.
Gordon was unavailable for comment.
Lets hope now the rest of Pines peers
on the board agree enough is enough.
The county has taken measurable steps
to see Ayres prosecuted correctly, most
notably authorizing District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe to hire a retired prosecutor
to aid the deputy district attorney who has
had a bumpy road on the way to convic-
tion. The supervisors obviously are not
tone deaf which is why now the public
should expect it to be willing to make the
former doctor face the music with what lit-
tle means it has available.
Of course, if a majority of supervisors
dont rescind the award, perhaps they can
at least tweak it for accuracy, honoring the
former doctor for lifetime achievement of
beating the system.

San Mateo County:
Time to start healing
Editor,
Supervisor Dave Pine has taken the lead
by putting the Lifetime Achievement
Award that was issued to Dr. William Ayres
in 2002 by the Board of Supervisors on
the agenda. He is asking Adrienne Tissier,
Carole Groom, Warren Slocum and Don
Horsley to vote in favor of rescinding it
immediately. I support this issue. For
some reason, former supervisor Rich
Gordon felt this was the right thing to do.
I have always disagreed with him on this
issue. This last week, William Ayres put an
end to almost 50 years of suffering for the
victims and families and admitted to eight
felony counts of child molestation. There
were more than 45 men prepared to testify.
We San Mateo County can say how sorry

ing a letter, email, phone call or show up

This is your county. Nobody has been

lies. Get involved, say something, this is

The right location
for Planned Parenthood
Editor,
I agree with the new Planned Parenthood
facility being placed in downtown South
San Francisco (Pro-life group appeals
Planned Parenthood decision in the May
18 edition of the Daily Journal).
Everyone has a choice to seek medical
attention and medical help and having a
new location is helpful to the community.
Yes, some people may not like Planned
Parenthood because they allow abortion
which makes it a touchy issue, but women
have a right to free choice. Client accessi-
bility in more places is good for people
with no medical insurance who still need
medical attention and for teenagers who
want to seek out medical services as a way
to protect themselves. Some may be
opposed to this new facility but I am in
support of another facility being used for a
Planned Parenthood. Some people are so
focused on the religious aspect of the abor-
tion and do not fully look into the fact that
other medical attention and services pro-
vided such as sexually transmitted infec-
tions, HIV, birth control, etc. in this
organization.
I will be following this appeal to see
how it works out because I do feel this will
be a good addition to South San
Franciscos community, even if they do
change locations of the new facility.

Can we trust our government?
Editor,
The IRS gets caught targeting conserva-
tive organizations. The president res act-
ing IRS Commissioner Steven Miller who
was scheduled to resign in two weeks. The
person responsible (Sarah Ingram Hall) for
holding up tax exempt status for conserva-
tive organizations is promoted. She is
now responsible for overseeing the new
tax laws in Obamacare. Former IRS
Commissioner Douglas Shulman, who tes-
tied to Congress that no targeting
occurred on his watch, is home free. Does
this look like the administration is trying
to x the problem? If we cant trust the
IRS, can we trust the Department of
Justice?

NEW YORK Small-company
stocks were a bright spot in a subdued
start to the week for Wall Street.
The Russell 2000, an index of small-
company stocks, climbed above 1,000
points for the rst time and ended high-
er Monday, even as the Dow Jones
industrial average, the Standard &
Poors 500 index and the Nasdaq com-
posite index all edged lower.
The gains for the smaller companies
are encouraging for the broader stock
market because they show that
investors are becoming more comfort-
able about the economy and investing
in riskier assets, said Rob Lutts, Chief
Investment Ofcer at Cabot Money
Management.
Small-company stocks are consid-
ered riskier than the stocks of well-
established, large companies like IBM
or Coca-Cola. Thats because small
companies are often relatively young
and tend to have less diversied busi-
nesses than larger ones, making them
more susceptible to swings in demand
from their customers. There are also
fewer buyers and sellers for them,
which can make the stocks harder to
off-load if prices start to fall.
Having smaller stocks hit new
highs means that the rally is broad,
Lutts said. It gives us a little more
condence that its a good, sustainable
rally that can hold together for a
while.
The better-known market barome-
ters, the Dow and the S&P500 indexes,
fluctuated between small gains and
losses for most of Monday. They ended
slightly below the record levels they
reached Friday.
The Russell 2000 rose 1.70 points,
or 0.2 percent, higher at 997.98. The
index climbed as high as 1001.50 at
midday.
The index currently consists of
2,008 of the smallest stocks of the
U.S. equity market and the average
company having a stock market value
of about $1.5 billion.
Sunpower Corp., a manufacturer of
solar panels, has led gains for the
index this year, climbing $17.08, or
304 percent, to $22.70. Keryx
Biopharmaceuticals is the second-
biggest climber in the index, rising
$5.32, or 203 percent, $7.94.
The Dow closed down 19.12 points,
or 0.1 percent, at 15,335.28, paring
its gain for the year to 17 percent. The
S&P 500 index fell 1.18 points, or 0.1
percent, to 1,666.29. Its advance for
the year now stands at 16.8 percent.
Investors are focusing on the Federal
Reserve this week and looking for
clues about what it plans to do next
with its economic stimulus program.
On Wednesday Fed Chairman Ben
Bernanke will appear before Congress
and the central bank will release min-
utes of its most recent policy meeting.
The Fed is buying $85 billion of
bonds every month to keep long-term
interest rates low. That has encouraged
investors to put money into stocks
instead of bonds. The yield on the 10-
year Treasury note has been below 2
percent almost continually since April
12. Thats less than many large compa-
nies pay in dividends.
Policy makers are unlikely to cut
back on stimulus just yet since U.S.
economic growth is likely to slow in
the second quarter, said Scott Wren, a
senior equity strategist at Wells Fargo
Advisors. As a consequence, Wren said,
stocks are likely to continue to rise.
Small company stock are a bright spot
Having smaller stocks hit new highs means that the
rally is broad. ... It gives us a little more condence that its
a good, sustainable rally that can hold together for a while.

SAN FRANCISCO After falling woeful-
ly out of fashion, Yahoo wants to be cool
again while catering to the capitalistic
demands of its shareholders. That goal led
CEO Marissa Mayer to make a $1.1 billion
bet on online blogging forum Tumblr in a
risky acquisition that revolves around the
vision and instincts of a 26-year-old entre-
preneur who dropped out of high school to
pursue his dream of bringing more beauty
and creativity to the Internet.
The deal announced Monday is Mayers
boldest move since she left Google 10
months ago to lead Yahoos latest come-
back attempt. It marks Yahoos most expen-
sive acquisition since it bought online
search engine Overture a decade ago for $1.3
billion.
While hailing Tumblr as a fount of cre-
ativity that attracts 300 million visitors
each month, Mayer told analysts Monday
that she is making a sincere promise to not
screw it up. Yahoo said its founder, David
Karp, will remain in charge and will keep
Tumblrs headquarters in New York to retain
the same irreverence, wit and commitment
to empower creators.
Tumblrs audience, which boasts a large
concentration of teens and people in their
early 20s, is already fretting that the service
is going to become more stodgy and com-
mercial under the ownership of an 18-year-
old company that seems ancient by Internet
standards. Advertising largely has been a
missing ingredient so far as Tumblr, like
many online services in their early stages,
focused on building a loyal audience before
turning its attention to making money. By
purchasing Tumblr, Yahoo will have more
opportunities to sell ads.
I cant help but be concerned that Yahoo
will Yahooize Tumblr and make it as irrel-
evant as the mother ship, said Jennifer
Grant, 36, who has a Tumblr blog.
Founded in 2007, Tumblr emerged as a
trendy online hangout by providing a blog-
ging service that makes it easy to share
posts, photos, video and other content in
an enthralling mosaic of interlocking
information. Tumblr forums are devoted to
such diverse topics as art, architecture,
food, politics, pets and fashion.
Although there are several competing
services for people to blog, Tumblr makes
it easy to create, discover and share content.
Tumblr users rely on a dashboard to pin-
point the kinds of blogs that they want to
track. Tools help users pass along posts
that interest them.
The service says it has amassed more than
50 billion posts from 108 million blogs,
with some 75 million new posts every day.
More than half of Tumblrs users connect
through its mobile app and engage in an
average of seven visits per day.
Mayer is betting that Tumblr will provide
Yahoo with a captivating hook to reel in
more trafc and advertisers on smartphones
and tablet computers. That rapidly growing
market is expected to become even more
important during the next decade as people
increasingly consume digital content on
mobile devices instead of laptop and desk-
top machines.
Tumblr could also help Yahoo recapture
some of its cachet with teens and adults in
their early 20s, a demographic that has
become tougher for Yahoo to reach in recent
years as it fell behind the technological
curve and struggled to develop compelling
services.

WASHINGTON Apple Inc. employs a
group of afliate companies located outside
the United States to avoid paying billions of
dollars in U.S. income taxes, a Senate inves-
tigation has found.
The worlds most valuable company is
holding overseas some $102 billion of its
$145 billion in cash, and an Irish subsidiary
that earned $22 billion in 2011 paid only
$10 million in taxes, according to the report
issued Monday by the Senate Permanent
Subcommittee on Investigations.
The strategies Apple uses are legal, and
many other multinational corporations use
similar tax techniques to avoid paying U.S.
income taxes on prots they reap overseas.
But Apple uses a unique twist, the report
found. The companys tactics raise questions
about loopholes in the U.S. tax code, law-
makers say.
The spotlight on Apples tax strategy
comes at a time of fevered debate in
Washington over whether and how to raise
revenues to help reduce the federal decit.
Many Democrats complain that the govern-
ment is missing out on collecting billions
because companies are stashing profits
abroad and avoiding taxes. Republicans
want to cut the corporate tax rate of 35 per-
cent and ease the tax burden on money that
U.S. companies make abroad. They say the
move would encourage companies to invest
at home.
Apple CEO Tim Cook, the companys
chief nancial ofcer and its tax chief are
scheduled to testify and explain the compa-
nys tax strategy at a hearing by the sub-
committee Tuesday.
Apple spokesmen didnt immediately
respond to a request for comment Monday on
the subcommittee report.
The company has made clear that given
current U.S. tax rates, it has no intention of
repatriating its overseas prots to the U.S.
The subcommittee also has examined the
tax strategies of Microsoft Corp., Hewlett-
Packard Co. and other multinational compa-
nies, nding that they too have avoided bil-
lions in U.S. taxes by shifting prots off-
shore and exploiting weak, ambiguous sec-
tions of the tax code.

NEWYORK Rival online takeout serv-
ices Seamless North America and GrubHub on
Monday announced plans to combine and cre-
ate a new company covering more than
20,000 restaurants in 500 cities across the
U.S.
Financial terms were not disclosed and its
unclear what the combined company will be
called. GrubHub CEO Matt Maloney will
become CEO, while Seamless CEO Jonathan
Zabusky will serve as president, the compa-
nies said in a joint statement.
Brian McAndrews, an independent director
on the Seamless board, will serve as chair-
man. Both New York-based Seamless and
Chicago-based GrubHub will have signicant
representation on the new companys board.
The combined companys name and market-
ing brands will be determined following regu-
latory approval, the companies said.
Online takeout ordering services work by
contracting with restaurants, mostly in large
metropolitan areas, to list themselves on
the websites. Diners can search the menus,
along with reviews posted by diners, to nd
the food they want and then order and pay
online.

Yahoo reboots Flickr,
offers 1 terabyte of storage
NEW YORK Fresh on the heels of its
$1.1 billion acquisition of Tumblr, Yahoo
says it is rebooting its languishing photo-
sharing site Flickr with plans to make it
awesome again.
Yahoo Inc. said at an event in New York
Citys Times Square on Monday that it is
now offering users 1 terabyte of online stor-
age for free. One terabyte is 1,024 giga-
bytes enough to store more than
500,000 images at a resolution common to
most smartphones.
Yahoo has redesigned the Flickr website
to emphasize photos rather than text or
white space, as was the case previously.
Photos are bigger and shared in full resolu-
tion rather than compressed into a lower
quality.

If youre looking for high praise as a ten-
nis team, there is one voice to turn to in San
Mateo County. His name is Bill Shine, head
coach of the now 10-time California
Interscholastic Federation Northern
California champion Menlo Knights. Hes a
man whos been at the helm of hundreds of
talented players in his time with Menlo.
So, how does Shine feel his 2013 boys
tennis team?
I can safely say it is the best team Menlo
has ever had.
Heavy praise, indeed. But with the
Knights latest addition to the trophy case,
a 2013 NorCal title, its hard to argue with
Shine.
The Knights put together a run for the
ages during the California Interscholastic
Federations Northern California boys ten-
nis tournament over the weekend. In three
matches, against Shasta, Monte Vista and
Serra high schools, Menlo did not drop a
single match sweeping all seven three
times.
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
College of San Mateo thrower Evan
McDaniel had been setting himself up all
season long for one moment and one stage:
the state championships.
Last weekend, on his turf, the Bulldogs
came through.
McDaniel was the highlight for the
College of San Mateo at the California
Community College Athletic Associations
track and eld championships hosted on
the CSM campus.
McDaniel claimed the rst mens title on
Saturday, effectively winning the shot put
with his rst throw of 55-10 1/2. He extend-
ed the margin to 56-1 in the second round
and then hit the ofcial winning distance of
56-3 3/4 in the fth round. McDaniel is
already the national leader this year at 58-4.
He later placed third in the discus throw at
158-11, an event won by Markus Sanders of
Modesto (184-1).
Daniel Winter of West Valley nished sec-
ond in the discus after leading the prelimi-
nary rounds with his best and only fair
throw of 176-8. Sanders got his winning
mark with his rst effort in the nals.
Overall, it was a successfully hosted event
by the track and eld team at CSM.
Cerritos College upset defending state
womens champion Laney College by 10
points and Riverside City College ran away
with the mens title. Riverside tallied a
state-meet record 151 points. Mount San
Antonio was second (60), followed by San
Diego Mesa (56). NorCal champion
American River College tied for fourth with
Butte, each with 49 points.
In other CCCAA track and eld high-
lights, Alexus Dalton of Cerritos became
the meets rst double winner, taking the
womens heptathlon by almost 400 points
with total of 4,457. Riley Cooks of Cuesta
L
ove them or loathe them, those are
the rules. In the end, it really was-
nt controversial at all. As far as
the Menlo School baseball team is con-
cerned, there was no question the correct
call was made.
To what am I referring? Well, if you ask
the Soquel baseball team, Im sure it will
always be referred to as the slide.
During Menlos 4-3 win over Soquel in
the Central Coast
Section Division III quar-
ternal, Soquel was
threatening to tie the
score in the bottom of
the seventh when a
Soquel player hit a dou-
ble play ground ball. The
runner at rst beat the
throw, but the umpire
ruled the runner at second
had slid past the bag,
which by rule means the
runner at rst is automat-
ically called out.
In this case, it was a game-ending double
play, sending Menlo to the CCS seminals
for the fourth straight year.
I thought it was a no-brainer, said
Menlo manager Craig Schoof. I thought it
was an obvious call. He was three to ve
feet past the bag. I think thats the function
of playing on (articial) turf.
While the new-generation articial turf
elds are light years ahead of the old green,
hard carpets of a previous generation, these
new turf elds play more like regular grass,
except in one regard: sliding. The elds are
a lot more slick, thus runners need to begin
their slides earlier, anticipating the fact
they will slide a lot farther.
And thats what happened in Soquels
case. Schoof admitted he didnt think the
relay throw to rst would have gotten the
runner at rst, as the slide at second came
after the ball had already left the inelders
hand.
But a rule is a rule and most unbiased
observers would have agreed with the
umpire.

This just in: Neil Sterlings two home
run balls against Sequoia during the rst
round of the Central Coast Section play-
offs have nally landed.
Yes. Thats how hard Sterling hit those.
And while it may seem like an exaggera-
tion to most, the fact is Sterling is about
as hot as one can get at home plate right
now.
The Serra Padres, who are looking for
their rst CCS title since 2009, are off to a
super start in 2013. In two games, both
wins, they dominated Sequoia and
Homestead high schools in mercy-rule vic-
tories.
And while the Padres batting order is
stacked with talent 1 through 9, a player
like Sterling, who hangs out in the middle
of the lineup, is one of the main reasons
Serra finds itself two wins away from
another CCS title.
In two games last week, Sterling hit
.833 with two home runs, a double and
eight monster RBIs.
For his efforts, Sterling is the Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week.
Sterling said after his monster game
against the Cherokees, that he felt a lot
more loose at the plate coming into these
CCS playoffs.
I felt really relaxed, Sterling said. So
I felt good and every pitch I swung at was
one I could drive. I made good pitch deci-
sions.
Did he ever. Sterlings home runs easily
cleared the 40-foot netting in the Serra
outeld. They were both of the 3-run vari-
ety. Sterling also had an RBI double in that
game.

SAN JOSE For all that the San Jose
Sharks accomplished with their overtime
victory over Los Angeles in Game 3, they
know it will mean very little if they dont
back that win up with another at home
against the defending Stanley Cup champi-
on Kings.
We havent accomplished anything,
Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. We did-
nt get our work done in LA, and that put us
behind the eight ball. The fact that we win
Game 3, thats great, but we still are behind
in the series and the series is getting short-
er. The lifeline wasnt as long as it was in
the past. Weve just got to nd a way to get
even. If our intensity or urgency drops
because weve won a single game, I would be
disappointed in our group.
After taking it easy the day after San
Joses 2-1 win, both teams stepped up
preparation on Monday in advance of Game
4 on Tuesday night at the Shark Tank.
The Kings arent about to feel compla-
cent, considering they were less than 2 min-
utes away from losing Game 2 at home and
have won just once in 10 road games since
March.
We cant rest and just be comfortable
with being a good home team, forward
Justin Williams said. We need to be killers
on the road. Coming back with a 3-1 lead is
certainly something were going to do our
darnedest to do.
The Kings came close to getting that elu-
sive road win in Game 3 on Saturday when
they fell in overtime after being called for
two penalties in the nal minute of regula-
tion to set up Logan Coutures power-play
goal in overtime.
The second of those penalties particularly
irked the Kings, who contend Trevor Lewis
was pushed into San Jose goalie Antti Niemi
by Patrick Marleau and shouldnt have been
called for goaltender interference.
That came one game after the Sharks com-
plained about a late delay of game call on
Marc-Edouard Vlasic that gave the Kings a
two-man advantage and eventually led to
two goals that gave Los Angeles a 4-3 win.
The Kings look to rebound from their dis-
appointment the same way the Sharks did
from theirs.
Theres zero momentum, Kings coach
Darryl Sutter said. Once you get in the
playoffs, theres zero momentum unless
somebody is way better than somebody, and
as you see, nobody is. If theres a carry-
over, then youre probably not a playoff
team.
The home teams have won all three games
so far this series and both teams are unde-
feated at home in the postseason this year.
The Sharks have been dominant all season
on home ice, going 17-2-5 in the regular
season that included two wins over Los
Angeles.
The biggest reason for the home success
has been a potent power play that has been
far more efcient at the Shark Tank than on
the road. San Jose has scored on an NHL-
best 28.4 percent of power plays at home
during the regular and postseason compared
to just 13.6 percent on the road.
The difference has been even more stark in
the postseason where the Sharks are 8-for-
20 on the power play at home and just 1-for-
16 on the road, including 0-for-7 the rst
two games in Los Angeles. San Jose did
score one goal 5 seconds after the end of a
power play in Game 2 against the Kings.
Defenseman Dan Boyle said there was lit-
tle difference other than the nal results on
the power play in Game 3, when he got the
scoring started with a power-play goal 4
seconds into a man advantage early in the
rst period and Couture ended the game with
a power-play goal in overtime.
Its about scoring goals, Boyle said. If
we dont score yesterday, you guys would be
talking about how bad we are, how much
were struggling. We had some good looks
in L.A., we just didnt put the puck in the
net. The one goal we had, the penalty had
just expired.
The end of the day, youve just got to put
the puck in the net and the rst power play
took, what? Three or four seconds. Thats
not a good power play, thats execution. Its
a won faceoff, its a guy going to the net.
Thats just good execution.
The Kings could get a boost with the
potential return of forward Kyle Clifford,
who has missed the past four games with an
upper-body injury.
Clifford scored three of his seven regular-
season goals this year against the Sharks
and all three of his career playoff goals came
in a six-game series against San Jose two
years ago.
He can give us that big physical, emo-
tional lift that we can use right now, for-
ward Colin Fraser said. Hes a guy that
doesnt take a shift off, and hes hard to play
against. Ive played with him on and off for
two years, and hes a big, physical player
who keeps it simple. You know what youre
going to get out of him every shift.

ALAMEDA Charles Woodson will
receive quite a greeting from Oakland
Raiders fans when he makes a free agent
visit to the teams facilities on Tuesday.
A few of his potential teammates in
Oakland will give him a warm reception as
well.
Woodson spent his rst eight NFL sea-
sons with the Raiders after being selected
with the fourth overall pick in 1998. He
signed with Green Bay following the 2005
season and helped the Packers win a Super
Bowl title five years later before being
released by the team in February.
He has said he would like to play for a
contender and has visited a handful of teams
since being let go by Green Bay includ-
ing San Francisco and Denver.
Woodson and the Raiders have also had
preliminary talks.
Raiders coach Dennis Allen, whose team
began organized team activities on
Monday, said he is hopeful of bringing
Woodson aboard. Oaklands secondary has
been almost completely revamped for a sec-
ond straight year and Woodsons experience
might help the transition.
Well see. I want to do anything we can
to help this team get better, Allen said.
Well see how that process goes.
Quarterback Matt Flynn said he would
welcome the addition of the eight-time Pro
Bowl defensive back. The two spent four
years together in Green Bay before Flynn
signed with Seattle prior to the 2012 sea-
son.
Flynn, obtained in a trade from the
Seahawks this offseason, noted Woodsons
inuence in the locker room would be equal-
ly important to his production on the eld.
Everybody knows hes a great player but
hes also a great man, a great teammate, a
great leader, Flynn said.

Giants bounce back against the Nats
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Ryan Vogelsong
broke his throwing hand on a swing after
pitching himself toward his rst win in
seven starts, and the San Francisco Giants
returned from a terrible road trip to beat the
Washington Nationals 8-0 on Monday
night.
The right-hander fouled a ball off his right
hand in the bottom of the fth and grimaced
in pain while grabbing the hand. He was
quickly examined near the batters box and
left the game. The Giants later announced
the injury, without immediately providing
any other details.
Vogelsong (2-4) snapped a six-start win-
less stretch with just his second victory of
2013 and rst since April 11 against the
Cubs at Wrigley Field and seemed back on
track.
He walked off to warm ovation as Nick
Noonan pinch hit.
Vogelsong allowed three hits in five

scored three runs as San Francisco pounded a
season-high 17 hits. Angel Pagan hit an
RBI double and two-run single for San
Francisco, also making a great leaping

As win their Texas showdown
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Texas Seth Smith home-
red and scored three times, Bartolo Colon
pitched seven strong innings for his rst
win in nearly a month and the Oakland
Athletics beat the Texas Rangers 9-2 on
Monday night.
Colon, who turns 40 on Friday, gave up
two runs on six hits and struck out three. It
was the rst win for Colon (3-3) since April
23 at Boston.
Coco Crisp got three hits, and had the rst
of three straight Oakland doubles in a four-
run fth inning that broke a 1-1 tie. He
scored when Yoenis Cespedes hit a line
drive just over Adrian Beltres head with the
third baseman playing in, and Cespedes
came home on Brandon Moss line drive to
the wall in right.
Josh Lindblom (0-1) lost in his 2013
debut and rst major league start.
Lindblom was replaced by left-hander
Joseph Ortiz after striking out Josh
Donaldson in the fourth. Smith hit an RBI
single and went to second when left elder
David Murphy dropped the ball trying to
make a throw home. The error allowed
Smith to score on a single by Chris Young
for a 5-1 Oakland lead.
Smiths opposite-eld homer to left for a
1-0 lead in the second was the 13th straight
solo homer for the As, tying a franchise
record set in 2007. Jed Lowrie had three
hits, including one of five doubles for
Oakland.

By rule, you have to slide right to the
bag and stay on the base. Its a safety
rule, Schoof said. It really is dangerous
(to slide by the bag). We dont practice get-
ting out of the way. Nobody practices pro-
tecting (middle inelders) anymore.
Schoof believes if the Soquel dugout had
the same vantage point as the Menlo
dugout to see the play, it too would have
begrudgingly agreed with the call.
I think the problem was they were in
the rst-base dugout and they couldnt see
how far he had slid past the bag, Schoof
said.
Baseball purists may not agree with the
rule, they will say takeout slides at second
base are part of the game not that the
runner was intentionally trying to take out
the Menlo player. But the rule is the rule
and it must be enforced, regardless of what
others may think.
Sure, its a crappy way to lose a ball-
game, but as Schoof said, Soquel had plen-
ty of other opportunities to score runs
throughout the game and it didnt take
advantage. If it had, that play at second
may not have mattered.
Besides, Schoof has been on the other
end of that call as well.
Last year (in CCS) we got called for it
and it ended up with our guy sitting on the
base, Schoof said.

In the never-ending argument between
public and private schools playing in the
same playoff tournaments, the one equaliz-
ing factor is baseball.
Lets face it, a lot of people are referring
to the West Catholic Athletic League,
which dominates CCS most years. And
while that may be true in football and bas-
ketball, baseball tends to be a different
creature. Abaseball game can really turn on
one play or one player. Adominant pitcher
can nullify even the best batting order and
one mistake at the wrong time can cost a
team a victory.
So a look at this years CCS baseball
brackets suggest, for one tournament at
least, the WCAL will not be the dominant
league most people expect. The Division I
tournament is a prime example. From 2008
to 2010, the WCAL had all four seminal
teams. In 2011, however, only one WCAL
team advanced to the nal four, while last
year and this year, two WCAL teams are in
the semis: No. 1 St. Francis and No. 2
Serra.
Thank Palo Alto and San Benito for
breaking up the WCAL dominance this sea-
son as San Benito beat Mitty and Palo Alto
knocked off Bellarmine.
The Haybalers beating the Monarchs is
not that big of a surprise. San Benito is the
No. 3 seed, while Mitty was No. 6. On top
of that, San Benito advanced to the cham-
pionship game the last two years. The
Vikings beating the Bells was a bit more of
an upset, but on paper only. Palo Alto was
the No. 5 seed, compared to Bellarmines
No. 4 seed. The Vikings, however, are
always good seemingly in every sport
and won the CCS title two years ago,
beating San Benito for the title. To see
them knock off Bellarmine is not so
shocking.
Obviously there is still a chance for an
all WCAL championship game and dont
bet against it: St. Francis was ranked No. 6
in the state in Division I by Cal Hi Sports
rankings last week, while Serra was at No.
10. Both San Benito and Palo Alto have
their work cut out for them, but as we have
seen, those teams are more than capable of
winning.
Thats why they play the games.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Central Coast Section track and eld
trials were Saturday at Gilroy High and San
Mateo County will be well represented in
the nals from those who barely made it
to those who have a chance at winning a
section title.
The nals are scheduled to begin at 3:10
p.m. Friday at Gilroy High.
On the girls side, Westmoors Kylie Goo,
Mills Sabrina Mendoza and Menlos
Maddie Price have to be the odds-on favorite
to win the 800, shot put and 400, respec-
tively. Goos qualifying time of 2:14.04 in
the 800 was the fastest, almost a second
faster than the second-place qualier.
Joining Goo in the nals will be Menlo-
Athertons Annalisa Crowe, who qualied
fth.
Mendoza was the top seed in the shot put,
with a season-best of 41-1 1/4 a foot far-
ther than the No. 2 seed. Mendoza lived up
to her seeding, throwing a trials-best 42-8
1/4, more than three feet better than her
closest competitor.
Mendoza will also go for a double as she
qualied second in the discus. Her throw of
124+ was 10 feet better than her seeding
throw of 114. She will go second to last in
the nals as she was second behind Live
Oaks Fa Saulala, who uncorked a throw of
127-3, 23 feet better than her best throw of
the year, a 104-8.
Del Mars Anaya Tonga also gures to be
in the mix. She may have qualied sixth,
but she has the best throw in the section
this season at 134-1. She threw 121-0 in
qualifying.
Price came into the 400 qualier with the
sixth-fastest time in CCS. By the time the
qualifying races ended, Price had the fastest
time, nearly eight-tenths of a second faster
than the next-best time. Price also has a
shot at pulling off a double, setting the pace
in the 200 with a time of 25.04, four-one
hundredths of a second faster than the sec-
ond-fastest qualier.
Carlmonts Anaya Alexander will try to
make the podium in the 400 as well, as the
freshman posted a time of 56.56 to win her
heat.
Other nals qualiers on the girls side
include Menlo-Athertons Taylor Fortnam
(11th, 3,200), Woodsides Abby Taussig
(seventh, 300 hurdles), Westmoors Tiarra
Cobbins (seventh, shot put), Westmoors
Farideh Louis Loveless (third, high jump)
and the M-A girls 4x400 relay team
(eighth).
On the boys side, Sacred Heart Preps
Nico Robinson has a good chance to qualify
for the state meet in three events and an out-
side chance at winning three CCS titles.
Robinson is the top qualier in the 110 hur-
dles (14.42), third in the 300 hurdles
(38.87) and second in the long jump (22-8
1/2).
Robinson will have plenty of local com-
pany in the 110 hurdles as half of the eight-
man eld will be lled by county athletes.
Serras Zachary Mitchell was the fourth-
fastest qualifier, Robinsons teammate
Ricky Grau was fth, while Aragons James
Garcia earned the nal slot.
Mitchell will join Robinson in the 300
hurdles with the fth-fastest time, while
Carlmonts Franklin Rice was the eighth-
fastest qualier.
The county has a chance to send three to
the state meet in the 400 as Serras Zachary
Orloff posted the fastest qualifying time

Sports brief
Mourinho to leave Real Madrid at end of season
MADRID Jose Mourinho will leave Real Madrid after
three years as coach, paving the path for his return to
England and a second stint as Chelseas manager.
Real Madrid President Florentino Perez announced at a
news conference following a board meeting Monday that a
mutual agreement was reached for Mourinhos departure.
The 50-year-old Portuguese coach has two matches
remaining in a season that will end on June 1 without
Madrid winning a major trophy.
Mourinho will leave having won only two major titles,
the 2011 Copa del Rey and the 2012 league championship,
and he failed to deliver the clubs much-desired 10th
European Cup. His locker room appeared to splinter this
season as he benched goalkeeper Iker Casillas, the captain
of Madrid and Spains world and European championship
teams.
After three years we both agreed this was the correct
moment to nish, Perez said. With Mourinho, we made a
big leap competitively and sporting-wise. Today Madrid is
where it ought to be. We had not reached that level prior to
his arrival, so the balance of his stay here was positive.
After becoming the third coach to win the European Cup
with two teams (Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010),
Mourinho replaced Manuel Pellegrini at Real for the 2010-
11 season.
Warriors GM: Sense of desperation has passed
THE ASSOCIATED PRES
OAKLAND The turnaround has
taken place. The total transformation
might not be far away.
And if they want to be considered
true title contenders, the Golden State
Warriors will have to develop their
promising young talent even more and
show they can be consistent and
consistently healthy for longer
stretches.
That was the message from Warriors
general manager Bob Myers and coach
Mark Jackson on Monday, when the
brains behind the franchises rapid ren-
aissance pushed ahead to a promising
offseason. After nishing two wins
from the Western Conference nals,
Golden State has gone from needing a
complete makeover to a touch-up job.
I think that sense of desperation
has passed, Myers said. I think that
whereas when youre trying to do any-
thing to get over the hump you do
sometimes chase things that may be
difcult to acquire. Whereas now, does-
nt mean were satisfied, it doesnt
mean we think our work is through, but
we can be prudent and patient with
opportunities as they come along.
The Warriors went from a 23-43
record during the lockout-shortened
season to a 47-35 team, earning the
conferences sixth seed and dominat-
ing Denver in the rst round of the
playoffs. Mounting injuries eventual-
ly wore them down and the four-time
champion San Antonio Spurs sent
Golden State home in six games.
Myers, a former sports agent who
was promoted from assistant general
manager last year, had talked about
building the team through the draft and
trades when he rst took over basket-
ball operations. Simply put, the
native of nearby Danville said his
hometown team was just not an attrac-
tive place for free agents.
Now those days might be done.
Whats the best word to describe a
180? he said. People do enjoy
watching this group of players play.
They do enjoy watching our games on
TV and seeing what the crowd brings.
They do enjoy watching our coaches
get the most out of the players we
have. What does that say? Well, if
youre a player in the NBA and youre
witnessing all these things, it does
make it a desirable place to go and be a
part of.
The toughest challenge Myers and
Jackson said they are facing is nding
a way to improve the team without dis-
rupting continuity and chemistry.
The entire starting lineup
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson,
Harrison Barnes, David Lee and Andrew
Bogut is signed through next sea-
son. Top reserve Brandon Rush, out
since tearing a ligament in his left
knee in the home opener, will be back.
Rookie reserves Draymond Green,
Festus Ezeli and Kent Bazemore along
with veterans Richard Jefferson and
Andris Biedrins and their hefty
expiring contracts also are among
those signed.
I dont want to overreact because we
had a great year. I want to build on it,
Jackson said. This is a great offsea-
son to challenge every one of them to
come back better. And Im excited
about it. I have no problem coming
back with the same group, but this is
truly a business.

On Friday, Dalton won the high

Dalton is the national leader in both
the high jump (5-9 1/4) and hep-

ond handoff.

made the difference in the team title.
Cerritos had 91 points, followed by
Laney (81), Riverside (59), Mt. San

On the mens side, Riverside scored
in 19 of the 21 mens events. The
Tigers had two individual champions
on Saturday. Justn Thymes won the
200 meters in 21.62 and placed second
in the 100 in 10.49 behind Kemarley
Brown of Merritt (10.38). Luis
Gutierrez won the 1,500 for the Tigers
in 3:52.62 and was second in the 800

of West Los Angeles in 1:50.64. John
Guzman-Aguilar came back from his
10,000 win on Friday to place second
in the 5,000 on Saturday.
Dylan Marz of San Diego Mesa won
the 5,000 meters in 14:42.25.
Tyhmes was involved in 32
Riverside points, also running legs on
the second place 4x400 meter relay
(3:11.52) and on the third place
4x100 team (40.87).

They made a lot of mistakes up,
Sterling said, so some of us were a
little out in front but we were able to
capitalize on every mistake.
That theme continued for Sterling
and the Padres in an 11-1 win over
Homestead. Nine of the 11 hitters that
came to the dish recorded hits. Serra
did not strike out once.
Sterling went 2-for-3 in that game
with another RBI bringing his CCS
total to eight.
Our offensive mindset was were
going to score a lot of runs,
Gianinno said after that win. Its sort
of pick your poison.
And in Sterling, Serra has some of
the deadliest during this postseason.

while Orloff was seventh.
Aragons Julius Elzie and Menlo

the title of Fastest Man in CCS as
both qualified for the 100 final.
Elzies time of 11.03 was the third-

Joey Sanlippo set the pace with a
blistering 10.83.
There will be three county runners

Layten leading the pack with a sec-
ond-place seed. Joining him are El
Caminos Gerardo Castro (third) and
Serras Joey Berriatua (fourth).
Berriatua will also run the 1,600 as
the fth-fastest qualier. Joining him
are Menlo-Athertons George Baier

The shot put appears to be Jonathan
Beerings to lose. The Serra thrower

Its the deepest, its the
strongest from top to bottom. Ive
some great teams in the past, Ive
had some great players in the past,
but this team is strong at the top,
the middle and at the bottom. And
their chemistry and work ethic is
second to none.
The win over Serra was the sec-
ond in as many big tournaments
this season for Menlo. The
Knights took down the Padres 12-
5 in the Central Coast Section
team nal. Up until that matchup,
the Knights had breezed through
the tournament, showing impres-
sive depth along the way.
The six seniors on the team will
graduate later this year knowing
they only lost twice during their
tenure.
They have an uncanny ability
to play their best in the biggest
moments, Shine said. They have
never, ever had a bad day on the
tennis court. Ever.
For the Padres, while the season
ended in a loss, it was still a his-
toric season. Not only did they
make it back to the CCS nals for
the rst time in the programs his-
tory, they followed that up with a
rst-ever trip to the NorCal nals
as well.
It was denitely special, said
Serra head coach Marcus Charles
of the Padres season. Especially
looking at my graduates. The four
guys who came to me as freshmen.
It was a huge accomplishment for
them because when they came in,
that was their dream. And through
hard work and dedication, they put
it all together.
Serra took down Davis High
School 5-2 then took down the
latest NCS champions,
Miramonte, in what was a
thrilling 4-3 victory. Miramonte
was the No. 2 seed.
That 4-3 was huge, with the
Padres missing their No. 1 singles
and No. 1 doubles.
The nucleus of the team
brought that match together. They
stepped up. And those are return-
ing players, Charles said.
And while they lost, Charles
was more than willing to send
praise to the dynasty that is
Menlo boys tennis.
They have a great coach, he
said. They have a really dedicated
offseason. And that really makes a
big difference. Alot of those kids
at Menlo, they come from a strong
tennis background and thats what
it comes down to. They have
mighty good soldiers there.

MOORE, Okla. A monstrous
tornado at least a half-mile wide
roared through the Oklahoma City
suburbs Monday, attening entire
neighborhoods and destroying an
elementary school with a direct
blow as children and teachers hud-
dled against winds up to 200 mph.
At least 51 people were killed,
and ofcials said the death toll
was expected to rise.
The storm laid waste to scores
of buildings in Moore, a commu-
nity of 41,000 people about 10
miles south of the city. Block
after block lay in ruins. Homes
were crushed into piles of broken
wood. Cars and trucks were left
crumpled on the roadside.
The National Weather Service
issued an initial nding that the
tornado was an EF-4 on the
enhanced Fujita scale, the second
most-powerful type of twister.
More than 120 people were
being treated at hospitals, includ-
ing about 50 children. And search-
and-rescue efforts were to contin-
ue throughout the night.
Tiffany Thronesberry said she
heard from her mother, Barbara
Jarrell, shortly after the tornado.
I got a phone call from her
screaming, Help! Help! I cant
breathe. My house is on top of
me! Thronesberry said.
Thronesberry hurried to her
mothers house, where first
responders had already pulled her
out. Her mother was hospitalized
for treatment of cuts and bruises.
Rescuers launched a desperate
rescue effort at the school,
pulling children from heaps of
debris and carrying them to a
triage center.
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin
deployed 80 National Guard mem-
bers to assist with rescue opera-
tions and activated extra highway
patrol ofcers.
Fallin also spoke with
President Barack Obama, who
offered the nations help and gave
Fallin a direct line to his ofce.
Many land lines to stricken
areas were down, and cellphone
networks were congested. The
storm was so massive that it will
take time to establish communi-
cations between rescuers and state
ofcials, the governor said.
In video of the storm, the dark
funnel cloud could be seen march-
ing slowly across the green land-
scape. As it churned through the
community, the twister scattered
shards of wood, awnings and
glass all over the streets.
Chris Calvert saw the menacing
tornado from about a mile away.
I was close enough to hear it,
he said. It was just a low roar, and
you could see the debris, like
pieces of shingles and insulation
and stuff like that, rotating around
it.
Even though his subdivision is
a mile from the tornados path, it
was still covered with debris. He
found a picture of a small girl on
Santa Claus lap in his yard.
Volunteers and rst responders
raced to search the debris for sur-
vivors.
At Plaza Towers Elementary
School, the storm tore off the
roof, knocked down walls and
turned the playground into a mass
of twisted plastic and metal.
Children from the school were
among the dead, but several stu-
dents were pulled alive from the
rubble. Rescue workers passed the
survivors down a human chain to
the triage center in the parking
l ot .
James Rushing, who lives
across the street from the school,
heard reports of the approaching
twister and ran to the school,
where his 5-year-old foster son,
Aiden, attends classes. Rushing
believed he would be safer there.
About two minutes after I got
there, the school started coming
apart, he said.
The students were sent into the
restroom.
Aman with a megaphone stood
near a Catholic church Monday
evening and called out the names
of surviving children. Parents
waited nearby, hoping to hear
their sons and daughters names.

WASHINGTON The U.S.
Attorney in Arizona violated
Justice Department policy by pro-
viding Fox News with informa-
tion apparently aimed at undercut-
ting the credibility of a federal
agent who helped reveal the
botched arms-trafficking probe
called Operation Fast and Furious,
the Justice Departments inspec-
tor general said Monday.
There was substantial evidence
in the 2011 incident that then-
U.S. Attorney Dennis Burkes
motive for disclosing a memo by
federal agent John Dodson was
retaliation, the inspector gener-
als report said. In testimony to a
House committee just two weeks
earlier, Dodson had raised serious
concerns about Operation Fast
and Furious.
In Dodsons memo, which was
eventually leaked, Dodson pro-
posed a tactic similar to the one
being used at the time in
Operation Fast and Furious.
Dodson proposed acting in an
undercover capacity to deliver
firearms to a suspected firearms
trafcker, but taking no enforce-
ment action upon delivering the
rearms.
Dodson later told investigators
that he and other ATF agents had
proposed the transaction in hopes
that it would shock their superiors
into realizing what they were
doing in Operation Fast and
Furious. Instead, a superior
approved Dodsons proposal and
Dodson sold six rearms to the
suspect. Dodson later told inves-
tigators that he regretted deliver-
ing the rearms.
The Fast and Furious operation
used a tactic called gun-walking in
an attempt to follow illicit gun
buyers to major arms trafckers
and dismantle the gun rings sup-
plying weapons to drug cartels in
Mexico. The tracking effort was
largely unsuccessful and hundreds
of weapons wound up at crime
scenes in the U.S. and Mexico.
Two of the weapons were found at
the site of the slaying of U.S. bor-
der agent Brian Terry.
After Terrys death, Dodson and
several other agents from the U.S.
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives
described the gun-walking tactic
to U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-
Iowa, and to the House Oversight
and Government Reform
Committee.

WASHINGTON New research is chal-
lenging medical guidelines that say people
with a heart-zapping device in their chests
should avoid intense sports like basketball
and soccer in favor of golf or bowling.
Lots of patients ignore that take-it-easy
advice and stay in the game, and Mondays
ndings suggest vigorous exercise may be
safe for many of them after all.
A registry tracked 372 people who stuck
with competitive sports after having a
debrillator surgically implanted to guard
against dangerous irregular heartbeats
and found that the lifesaving device worked
when needed despite the physical exertion.
This is good guidance for many of the
sports. It should be reassuring that in fact
many people can participate, said Dr.
Gordon Tomaselli, a former American Heart
Association president who wasnt involved
with the new study and cautions that ques-
tions remain.
More than 100,000 defibrillators are
implanted in U.S. patients every year,
devices that can detect when an abnormal
heartbeat is forming and automatically
shock the heart to help it get back into
rhythm. Most recipients are older people
with heart failure, too sick to worry about
sports.
But increasingly, teenagers and younger
adults receive these implants, people who
may be more active and t but have some
underlying heart abnormality that puts them
at risk of an arrhythmia. Last year, Utah
State forward Danny Berger collapsed on the
basketball court, was revived and had a
debrillator implanted; he has said he hopes
to play again. Harder still is how to advise
people who get the implants as a precau-
tion, before any symptoms of trouble.
The big questions: Do the implants re
properly under the physical duress of com-
petitive sports? Do they emit painful
shocks more often? Might they break with a
hit to the chest?
To begin finding out, Yale University
heart specialist Dr. Rachel Lampert opened
a national registry that, over 2 1/2 years,
tracked debrillator patients who decided to
stick with sports. They included some high
school and college athletes, as well as peo-
ple who participated in community-level
basketball, soccer, tennis and other sports
or were runners, skiers, even a few rock
climbers.
The implants did have to re more often
during physical activity, whether the peo-
ple were playing ball or running for the bus.
But they did their job no one died, had to
be resuscitated or experienced a shock-relat-
ed injury, Lampert reported Monday in the
journal Circulation.

Report: NPS hantavirus
response followed policy
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK Federal
investigators probing the hantavirus out-
break blamed for three deaths at Yosemite
National Park recommended on Monday
that design changes to tent cabins and other
privately run lodging rst be reviewed by
National Park Service ofcials.
The report released by the Interior
Departments Ofce of Inspector General
found that park ofcials responded to last
summers outbreak appropriately and with-
in department policy.
When the outbreak was identied, NPS
mobilized to contain and remediate the out-
break and to prevent further outbreaks,
Mary Kendall, a deputy inspector general,
wrote in a letter attached to the report.
Still, the report found that current policy
did not require park ofcials to approve
design changes made to the Signature tent
cabins by concessionaire Delaware North
Companies Parks and Resorts, which had
added rafters and wall studs to the structures.
Investigators determined that deer mice,
which can carry the illness, nested inside
the double walls of the new tents in
Yosemites family-friendly Curry Village.
At least eight of the nine tourists who fell
ill stayed in the tent cabins.
Because the changes to the cabins were
considered routine maintenance, current
park service policy did not require prior
approval, the report found.
Lisa Cesaro, a Delaware North spokes-
woman, did not return a call seeking com-
ment.
The report also recommended that the
park service begin cyclical pest monitoring
and inspections of all public accommoda-
tions.
While there is a current pest monitoring
program at Yosemite, Delaware North was
responsible for Curry Village, which was
not considered at high risk for hantavirus.

LONDON More than a decade ago,
British parents refused to give measles
shots to at least a million children because
of now discredited research that linked the
vaccine to autism. Now, health ofcials are
scrambling to catch up and stop a growing
epidemic of the contagious disease.
This year, the U.K. has had more than
1,200 cases of measles, after a record num-
ber of nearly 2,000 cases last year. The
country once recorded only several dozen
cases every year. It now ranks second in
Europe, behind only Romania.
Last month, emergency vaccination clin-
ics were held every weekend in Wales, the
epicenter of the outbreak. Immunization
drives have also started elsewhere in the
country, with ofcials aiming to reach 1
million children aged 10 to 16.
This is the legacy of the Wakefield
scare, said Dr. David Elliman, spokesman
for the Royal College of Paediatrics and
Child Health, referring to a paper published
in 1998 by Andrew Wakeeld and colleagues
that is widely rejected by scientists.
That work suggested a link between
autism and the combined childhood vaccine
for measles, mumps and rubella, called the
MMR. Several large scientic studies failed
to find any connection, the theory was
rejected by at least a dozen major U.K. med-
ical groups and the paper was eventually
retracted by the journal that published it.
Britains top medical board stripped
Wakeeld of the right to practice medicine
in the U.K., ruling that he and two of his
colleagues showed a callous disregard for
the children in the study, subjecting them to
unnecessary, invasive tests. As part of his
research, Wakefield took blood samples
from children at his sons birthday party,
paying them about 5 pounds each ($7.60),
and later joked about the incident.
Still, MMR immunization rates plummet-
ed across the U.K. as fearful parents aban-
doned the vaccine from rates over 90 per-
cent to 54 percent. Wakeeld has won sup-

During the study, 77 people received
shocks: 10 percent during sports, 8 percent
during other physical activities and 6 percent
while resting. About two-thirds who received
a shock did return to their sport rather than
deciding to give it up, Lampert said.
Despite the fact that people got shocked,
they didnt have anything dangerous hap-
pen to them: The device worked, she said.
It doesnt mean every patient can be
doing every sport, Lampert added, advis-
ing that implant recipients talk with their
doctors rst. But, we probably dont need
the blanket restrictions in place.
However, the study is small and
Tomaselli, the former heart association
president, warned among the top concerns
is whether contact sports, such as football
and hockey, might loosen the implant. Too
few of those patients enrolled in the reg-
istry to draw conclusions.
In addition, some patients with a rare
heart condition required multiple shocks
when they had an irregular heartbeat.
Still, one of the reasons for having a
debrillator is to restore as much of a nor-
mal life as you possibly can, Tomaselli
noted. To many people, taking away com-
petitive athletics is taking away a part of
them.
When people do continue sports with the
implant, Tomaselli said coaches, family and
others must be fully aware of the risks
and there should be an external debrillator
available during competition and practice
in case the implant fails and emergency
resuscitation is needed.
The study was paid for by three debrilla-
tor manufacturers.

port from parents suspicious of vaccines,
including Hollywood celebrities like Jenny
McCarthy, who has an autistic son.
Nearly 15 years later, the rumors about
MMR are still having an impact. Now
theres this group of older children who
have never been immunized who are a large
pool of infections, Elliman said.
The majority of those getting sick in the
U.K. including a signicant number of
older children and teens - had never been
vaccinated. Almost 20 of the more than 100
seriously ill children have been hospital-
ized and 15 have suffered complications
including pneumonia and meningitis. One
adult with measles has died, though its
unclear if it was the disease that killed him.
The rst measles vaccines were introduced
in the 1960s, which dramatically cut cases
of the rash-causing illness. Since 2001,
measles deaths have dropped by about 70
percent worldwide; Cambodia recently
marked more than a year without a single
case.
Globally, though, measles is still one of
the leading causes of death in children under
5 and kills more than 150,000 people every
year, mostly in developing countries.
Measles is highly contagious and is spread
by coughing, sneezing and close personal
contact with infected people; symptoms
include a fever, cough, and a rash on the
face.
Across the U.K., about 90 percent of chil-
dren under 5 are vaccinated against measles
and have received the necessary two doses
of the vaccine. But among children now
aged 10 to 16, the vaccination rate is
slightly below 50 percent in some regions.
To stop measles outbreaks, more than 95
percent of children need to be fully immu-
nized. In some parts of the U.K., the rate is
still below 80 percent.
Unlike in the United States, where most
states require children to be vaccinated
against measles before starting school, no
such regulations exist in Britain. Parents
are advised to have their children immu-
nized, but Britains Department of Health
said it had no plans to consider introducing
mandatory vaccination.
Last year, there were 55 reported cases of
measles in the United States, where the
measles vaccination rate is above 90 per-
cent. So far this year, there have been 22
cases, including three that were traced to
Britain. In previous years, the U.K. has
sometimes exported more cases of measles
to the U.S. than some countries in Africa.
Portia Ncube, a health worker at an East
London clinic, said the struggle to convince
parents to get the MMR shot is being
helped by the measles epidemic in Wales.
They see whats happening in Wales, so
some of them are now sensible enough to
come in and get their children vaccinated,
she said.
Clinic patient Ellen Christensen, mother
of an infant son, acknowledged she had pre-
viously had some irrational qualms about
the MMR vaccine.
But after reading more about it, I know
now that immunization is not only good for
your own child, its good for everyone, she
said.

CHICAGO As the guitarist strums and
softly sings a lullaby in Spanish, tiny
Augustin Morales stops squirming in his
hospital crib and closes his eyes.
This is therapy in a newborn intensive
care unit, and research suggests that music
may help those born way too soon adapt to
life outside the womb.
Some tiny preemies are too small and
fragile to be held and comforted by human
touch, and many are often fussy and show
other signs of stress. Other common com-
plications include immature lungs, eye dis-
ease, problems with sucking, and sleeping
and alertness difculties.
Recent studies and anecdotal reports sug-
gest the vibrations and soothing rhythms
of music, especially performed live in the
hospital, might benet preemies and other
sick babies.
Many insurers wont pay for music thera-
py because of doubts that it results in any
lasting medical improvement. Some doc-
tors say the music works best at relieving
babies stress and helping parents bond
with infants too sick to go home.
But amid beeping monitors, IV poles and
plastic breathing tubes in infants rooms at
Chicagos Ann & Robert H. Lurie Childrens
Hospital, music therapist Elizabeth Klinger
provides a soothing contrast that even the
tiniest babies seem to notice
What music therapy can uniquely pro-
vide is that passive listening experience
that just encourages relaxation for the
patient, encourages participation by the
family, Klinger said after a recent session
in Augustins hospital room.
The babys parents, Lucy Morales and
Alejandro Moran, stood at the crib and
whispered lovingly to their son as Klinger
played traditional lullabies, singing in
Spanish and English.
The music relaxes him, it makes him feel
more calm and helps him sleep better too,
Lucy Morales said. Sometimes it makes us
cry.
Some families request rock music or other
high-tempo songs, but Klinger always
slows the beat to make it easier on tender
ears.
A lot of times families become afraid of
interacting with their children because they
are so sick and so frail, and music provides
them something that they can still do,
Klinger said, who works full time as a music
therapist but her services are provided for
free.
Music therapists say live performances in
hospitals are better than recorded music
because patients can feel the music vibra-
tions and also benet from seeing the musi-
cians.
More than two dozen U.S. hospitals offer
music therapy in their newborn intensive
care units and its popularity is growing,
said Joanne Loewy, a music therapist who
directs a music and medicine program at
Beth Israel Medical Center in New York.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. Do your kids
love chocolate milk? It may have more
calories on average than you thought.
Same goes for soda.
Until now, the only way to nd out
what people in the United States eat
and how many calories they consume
has been government data, which can
lag behind the rapidly expanding and
changing food marketplace.
Researchers from the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill are try-
ing to change that by creating a gar-
gantuan map of what foods Americans
are buying and eating.
Part of the uniqueness of the database
is its ability to sort one product into
what it really is thousands of brands
and variations.
Take the chocolate milk.
The government long has long clas-
sied chocolate milk with 2 percent fat
as one item. But the UNC researchers,
using scanner data from grocery stores
and other commercial data, found thou-
sands of different brands and varia-
tions of 2 percent chocolate milk and
averaged them out. The results show
that chocolate milk has about 11 calo-
ries per cup more than the government
thought.
The researchers led by professor
Barry Popkin at the UNC School of
Public Health, are guring out that
chocolate milk equation over and over,
with every single item in the grocery
store. Its a massive project that could
be the rst evidence of how rapidly the
marketplace is changing, and the best
data yet on what exact ingredients and
nutrients people are consuming.
That kind of information could be
used to better target nutritional guide-
lines, push companies to cut down on
certain ingredients and even help with
disease research. Just call it mapping
the food genome.
The country needs something like
this, given all of the questions about
our food supply, says Popkin, the
head of the UNC Food Research
Program. Were interested in improv-
ing the publics health and it really
takes this kind of knowledge.
The project rst came together in
2010 after a group of 16 major food
companies pledged, as part of rst lady
Michelle Obamas campaign to com-
bat obesity, to reduce the calories they
sell to the public by 1.5 trillion. The
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
agreed to fund a study to hold the com-
panies accountable, eventually turn-
ing to UNC with grants totaling $6.7
million.
Aided by supercomputers on campus,
Popkin and his team have taken exist-
ing commercial databases of food
items in stores and peoples homes,
including the store-based scanner data
of 600,000 different foods, and
matched that information with the
nutrition facts panels on the back of
packages and government data on indi-
viduals dietary intake.
The result is an enormous database
that has taken almost three years so far
to construct and includes more detail
than researchers have ever had on gro-
cery store items their individual
nutritional content, who is buying
them and their part in consumers
diets.
The study will ll gaps in current
data about the choices available to
consumers and whether they are
healthy, says Susan Krebs-Smith, who
researches diet and other risk factors
related to cancer at the National Cancer
Institute.
Government data, long the only
source of information about
American eating habits, can have a
lag of several years and neglect entire
categories of new types of products
Greek yogurt or energy drinks, for
example.
What do we eat? New
food map will tell us
Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, led by professor
Barry Popkin, are trying to create a gargantuan map of what foods Americans are
buying and eating.
California bill would
strip secrecy from health agency
LOS ANGELES Two lawmakers are pushing legislation
to strip broad secrecy provisions from the state agency
overseeing health care reforms in California that could
shield from the public how hundreds of millions of dollars
are spent, ofcials said Monday.
The bill by Republican Sen. Bill Emmerson and Democrat
Sen. Mark DeSaulnier was introduced in the state Senate
less than two weeks after the Associated Press reported the
degree of privacy granted Covered California appears unique
among states attempting to establish their own health
insurance exchanges under President Barack Obamas signa-
ture law.
It should all be transparent, Emmerson said in an inter-
view. The California agency was given authority to do
things no one else could do. There was no sunlight on it.
An AP review of the 16 other states that opted for state-
run marketplaces found the California agency was given
powers that are the most restrictive in what information is
required to be made public, and that explicit exclusions
from open-records laws might run afoul of the state consti-
tution.
The bipartisan bill, if passed in the Legislature, would
take effect immediately in order to ensure that public
resources are managed efciently, according to the text.
Only narrower, temporary exemptions would be allowed,
consistent with long-standing state law.
In August 2010, when California was sprinting to become
the rst state to embrace the most extensive health care
changes since Medicare, state lawmakers gave the new
agency the authority to keep all contracts private for a year
and the amounts paid secret indenitely.
According to agency documents, Covered California
plans to spend nearly $458 million on outside vendors by
the end of 2014, covering lawyers, consultants, public rela-
tions advisers and other functions.
By reversing the law, the bill would make public meeting
minutes and records that reveal recommendations, research
or strategy of the board or its staff, or those that provide
instructions, advice or training to employees.
The indenite ban on releasing rates of pay to companies
and individuals receiving contracts would be scrapped. That
provision goes beyond exemptions for other state health
programs, such as Healthy Families, which withholds rates
of pay from disclosure for up to several years, but not per-
manently.
Senate OKs regulations for medicinal marijuana
SACRAMENTO California would take steps to regulate
the sale of medical marijuana under a bill approved Monday
by the state Senate, restricting cannabis dispensaries that
federal prosecutors say have grown out of control.
California voters rst supported legalizing marijuana to
treat illness in 1996, but federal prosecutors recently
cracked down. They said the industry has grown enormous-
ly protable and has made marijuana essentially available
for recreational use.
The Senate sent the bill to the Assembly on a 22-12 vote
and without any Republican support.
The legislation makes it clear that dispensaries cannot
operate at a prot, but that the owners can receive reason-
able compensation and reimbursement for expenses.
This bill is not about the legalization of marijuana,
said Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-
Sacramento. It does seek to assure that patients who need
medical cannabis have access to it. It is intended to assure
that drug cartels and other criminals do not benet from the
lack of regulation.
He said his SB439, along with pending legislation by
Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, is intend-
ed to come to some sort of an understanding with the feder-
al government.
The bills language is still being negotiated with law
enforcement groups and is likely to be amended in the
Assembly, Steinberg said.
It would not affect local regulations or prohibitions on
dispensaries, authority that the state Supreme Court upheld
earlier this month.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Senate supporters of far-
reaching immigration legislation accepted
minor changes in public while negotiating
over more sweeping alterations in private
Monday as they drove toward expected
Judiciary Committee approval by mid-week.
In a long day of drafting, the panel voted
to begin phasing in a requirement for for-
eigners to undergo ngerprinting when they
leave the country. Lawmakers also agreed to
make an immigrants third drunk driving
conviction a deportable offense in some
cases.
At the same time, officials expressed
optimism that agreement was in sight in
complex private talks over proposed
changes to a section of the legislation
relating to H-1B high skilled visas. As
drafted, the bill would raise the current cap
from 65,000 annually to 110,000, with the
possibility of a further rise to 180,000.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, whose state is
home to a burgeoning high tech industry,
sought changes to reduce the cost and other
conditions on rms that rely on highly
skilled foreign labor.
He told reporters he is prepared to support
the overall legislation when the committee
votes on nal passage if an agreement is
reached on the issues. The way it was writ-
ten theyre going to move offshore, he said
of rms seeking changes.
In general, organized labor and its allies
on the committee, including Sen. Richard
Durbin, D-Ill., wanted tougher conditions
than industry was seeking, part of an attempt
to assure than American workers are not dis-
advantaged by a larger inux of H-1B visa
holders.
At its core, the legislation would provide
an opportunity of U.S. citizenship to mil-
lions of immigrants living in the country
illegally, create a new visa program for low-
skilled workers and permit a sizeable
increase in the number of high-tech visas,
at the same time it mandates new measures
to crack down on future unlawful immigra-
tion.
The full Senate is expected to begin debate
on the legislation next month.
In two previous weeks of deliberations,
supporters of the legislation have demon-
strated their command over the committees
proceedings, alternately accepting some
proposals advanced by the bills critics and
rejecting others all without losing a sin-
gle showdown.
The same pattern held true as the commit-
tee embarked on its third and nal week of
drafting.
On a vote of 13-5, the legislations sup-
porters agreed to require foreigners leaving
the country through any of the nations 30
busiest airports to submit to ngerprinting,
part of an attempt to strengthen security.
This is an agreement that we need to build
toward a biometric visa exit system, said
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. He said the system is
long overdue. Most of the committees
Democrats supported the provision, along
with four Republicans. Among them were
GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South
Carolina and Flake of Arizona, two the so-
called Gang of Eight that negotiated the
bills basic framework over many months.
The committee last week rejected a propos-
al by Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., to impose
the ngerprinting requirement at all of the
nations ports of entry rather than only the
biggest airports. He said the systems partial
implementation marked a retreat from cur-
rent law, which already requires a nation-
wide biometric system. The requirement has
not been fullled because of the cost.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, advanced
the drunk-driving amendment, a proposal
that stipulates at least one of three convic-
tions must occur after enactment of the law. It
cleared on a vote of 17-1.
Senators require fingerprinting at 30 airports
When the two transit ofcers arrived at
about 7:40 a.m., they could not immediate-
ly spot the man. With a train starting to
leave the station going south, they then
saw someone standing in the trains path
and they yelled at him to clear the tracks.
The man, however, did not respond.
It looked to be another suicide in the mak-
ing, which most deaths on the tracks are.
Zuno and Hensel, however, sprinted for
the man and pulled him off the tracks just 20
seconds before the train passed.
He was clearly in a very volatile state.
His intent was to harm himself, Zuno told
the Daily Journal.
Each year, Caltrain averages about 12
deaths on the tracks and Zuno, Hensel and
other transit police ofcers are usually some
of the rst ones on the scene.
It is not their favorite part of the job but
sometimes they arrive on the scene just in
time to save someones life.
We have similar occurrences all the
time Hensel said about pulling the man
to safety Thursday.
Caltrain has a campaign, See
Something, Say Something, to urge peo-
ple to make a call if they see someone act-
ing suspicious on the tracks.
While the number of fatalities on the
tracks attract lots of attention, the number
of incidents when people are pulled off the
tracks and spared death by police are rarely
reported.
We get more saves than you might think.
If it were up to us, we want that to always be
the outcome, Zuno said about pulling the
man to safety Thursday.
A partnership with the community,
Hensel said, can help save more lives in the
future and Caltrain ofcials call the unsung
hero in the story the anonymous caller
who took the time to report the suspicious
behavior.
Caltrain customers can report unsafe or
suspicious behavior and other urgent con-
cerns by contacting Transit Police dispatch
directly at (877) SAF-RAIL ((877) 723-
7245).

possession of the space and see what shape
the building is in and what needs to be done
to it.
Well be returning to the city after that
with a plan for recreational uses on site or,
if the city agrees, an option to move the
recreational amenity off site. But it will be
a couple of months before we come back
with plans, an SPI consultant wrote in an
email to the Daily Journal.
SPIs Peter Meier sent the citys
Community Development Department a
letter stating its desire to withdraw the
application a couple weeks ago.
We are evaluating additional alternative
recreation uses that Bridgepointe
Shopping Center can provide for the citi-
zens of San Mateo. When we have deter-
mined the recreational use or uses that
Bridgepointe Shopping Center intends to
provide we will be back in touch, Meier
wrote in the letter to the city.
The first public meeting was held on
Bridgepointes master plan in July 2012.
Since then, however, ice rink supporters
have accused the city of stalling the
remaining required public meetings.
When this process started, the commu-
nity truly believed in the transparency of
the city processes, rink supporter Julie
McAuliffe wrote in an email. They
thought the city would hold the study ses-
sions, evaluate rink usage, listen to the
community input and carefully review and
consider the Bridgepointe master plan and
requested amendment by SPI. However, the
lack of transparency by the city in the
review and approval process, and in com-
munication with the public leaves many
concerned about governance in San
Mateo.
The ice rink closes Friday, May 31.

Services Agency which says confer-
ring a right to condential records will
hamper its supervision of the home-
less realignment population.
Personally, I nd this troubling. I
dont see how enshrining rights trans-
lates into a better living situation. The
goal is laudable and a shared goal but at
the same time it doesnt provide for
increased services or tangible benet s
that are really going to help homeless
people improve their circumstances,
said Deputy County Counsel Claire
Cunningham whose assignments
include HSA.
According to Maltbies summary of
the bill, it proposes giving homeless
individuals unlimited access to carry
out life-sustaining activities like
eating, urinating and collecting trash
to recycle in public spaces, parks,
streets, transit infrastructure and ofce
building entrances.
The bills other provisions include:
County-funded legal counsel when
cited, even for infractions;
Local law enforcement would annu-
al compile and review the citation and
arrest numbers;
Homeless individuals have the
right to decline admittance to shelters
and social service programs;
Homeless individuals would have
condentially of records and informa-
tion;
Every government and unincorpo-
rated community must have sufcient
health and hygiene centers with show-
ers available around the clock;
Give immunity to public employ-
ees who provide resources to the
homeless without agency consent; and
Impose $1,000 in penalties per vio-
lation of the act plus attorneys fees.
But without any funding attached to
the bill, Supervisor Carole Groom said
it could not only cost money but also
siphon from that already being used
locally for homeless issues.
We need to be working on a solu-
t i on of st oppi ng homel essness
instead, quite frankly, of putting in
a lot of rules that are going to cost
us money that we dont have, she
said.
Supervisor Dave Pine expressed sim-
ilar sentiments and both said the com-
plex and individual challenges of
homeless individuals make blanket
policies an imperfect t.
Putting a regulatory overlay is
counterproductive and creates the
potential for litigation. ... We all want
to see homelessness end in San Mateo
County but dont think this will get us
there any faster, Pine said.
The board recently approved $1.5
million to expand homeless outreach
teams and keep an East Palo Alto emer-
gency shelter open all year from 4
p.m. to 8 a.m. on top of a 10-year
homeless plan and ongoing work with
nonprots signs Pine and Groom
said that the county isnt shirking its
duty regarding the issue.
In San Mateo County, there were
2,281 homeless people on the night
of Jan. 23, 2013, the last biennial
homeless census and survey. The total
included 1,299 unsheltered individuals
living in vehicles or on streets and in
encampments and 982 people in emer-
gency shelters, transitional housing,
institutions or using motel vouchers.
Based on the number counted, the
county estimates having 7,151 home-
less individuals annually.
The largest concentrations in the
county are in Redwood City, South San
Francisco, Pacifica East Palo Alto,
Half Moon Bay and San Bruno.
Each community addresses the pub-
lic health and safety issues surround-
ing homelessness and the Ammiano
bill would interfere with their ability
to do so, said Sheriff Greg Munks who
cited as an example the desire not to
have people sleep in cars in residential
neighborhoods.
It appears to be an attempt to x an
age-old socioeconomic problem by
passing a law, Munks said.
Munks also questions bill language
alleging that law enforcement unfairly
target the homeless, often violating
individuals constitutional rights, and
declarations that people are denied
housing due to being homeless.
That statement makes no sense
because many organizations like
Shelter Network work tirelessly to
provide housing for the homeless,
Munks said.
Ammiano told the Assembly
Judiciary Committee considering the
bill previously that the citations,
arrests and jail time amassed by home-
less only route individuals into already
impacted courts and corrections sys-
tems rather than letting public dollars
be spent on solutions.
But Cunningham said Ammianos
bill might itself create that problem,
leaving counties to decide if prosecu-
tion of infractions is worth the money
spent on attorneys and creating incen-
tives to le litigation that will further
clog the civil courts.
This makes it hard to get rid of mer-
itless litigation, she said.
The bill was last amended April 30
and, on May 15, was referred to the
Assembly Committee on
Appropriations.
The Board of Supervisors meets 9
a.m. Tuesday, May 21 in Board
Chambers, 400 County Government
Center, Redwood City.

BILL
By Luis Alonsolugo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Actor Sean Penn on
Monday urged the U.S. government to
pressure Bolivia to free an American
businessman detained without charge
since 2011 in a case that has drawn accu-
sations he was the victim of corrupt
local prosecutors.
Penn said international pressure on
Bolivian President Evo Morales could
help free Jacob Ostreicher of New York.
International pressure could very
well be what the president of Bolivia
needs to be able to nally expel the
malignant cancer of corruption that is
killing both the Bolivian justice sys-
tem and the thousands of innocent peo-
ple like Mr. Ostreicher, Penn told con-
gressional commit-
tee looking at
Ostreichers case.
Ostreicher was
granted house arrest
in December after
being jailed 18
months without
being charged with
any crime. He was
arrested in a money
laundering case in
June 2011 while he was trying to sal-
vage a rice-growing venture in which he
and a Swiss partner invested $25 mil-
lion.
The 54-year-old American has argued
since shortly after his arrest that he has
been the victim of corrupt Bolivian of-
cials who conspired to keep him in jail
so they could sell off the 18,000 metric
tons of rice they conscated from him
and extort him in exchange for promis-
es to obtain his release.
Rep. Chris Smith, a Republican from
New Jersey, said Ostreicher is the victim
of a network of people in government
who are extorting him and who took
away his company.
Its time for Jacob to come back
home to his wife, family and friends,
Smith added.
He said former U.S. President Jimmy
Carter told him he would bring up
Ostreichers case during a meeting with
Morales in Atlanta on Monday.
Six Bolivian government ofcials
who initially led Ostreichers prosecu-
tion are now themselves in jail on accu-
sations of participating in a shakedown
ring that allegedly preyed on people
deemed to have deep pockets.

Tuesday May 21, 2013 THEDAILYJOURNAL
By Julie Pace
and Charles Babington
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON White House
chief of staff Denis McDonough
and other senior advisers knew in
late April that an impending report
was likely to say the IRS had inap-
propriately targeted conservative
groups, President Barack Obamas
spokesman disclosed Monday,
expanding the circle of top of-
cials who knew of the audit beyond
those named earlier.
But McDonough and the other
advisers did not tell Obama, leav-
ing him to learn about the politi-
cally perilous results of the inter-
nal investigation from news
reports more than two weeks later,
ofcials said.
The apparent decision to keep
the president in the dark under-
scores the White Houses cautious
legal approach to controversies
and reects a desire by top advis-
ers to distance Obama from trou-
bles threatening his administra-
tion.
Obama spokesman Jay Carney
defended keeping the president out
of the loop on the Internal
Revenue Service audit, saying
Obama was comfortable with the
fact that some matters are not
appropriate to convey to him, and
this is one of them.
It is absolutely a cardinal rule
as we see it that we do not inter-
vene in ongoing investigations,
Carney said.
Republicans, however, are
accusing the president of being
unaware of important happenings
in the government he oversees.
It seems to be the answer of the
administration whenever theyre
caught doing something they
shouldnt be doing is, I didnt
know about it, Sen. John
Cornyn, R-Texas, told CBS News.
And it causes me to wonder
whether they believe willful igno-
rance is a defense when its your
job to know.
Obama advisers argue that the
outcry from Republicans would be
far worse had McDonough or
White House Counsel Kathryn
Ruemmler told the president about
the IRS audit before it became pub-
lic, thereby raising questions
about White House interference.
Still, the White Houses own
shifting information about who
knew what and when is keeping
the focus of the IRS controversy
on the West Wi ng.
More Obama aides knew of IRS audit
By Charles Babington
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The scandals
dogging President Barack Obama
are a political gift to Republicans,
who could use some good luck after
recent election losses. Its not
clear, however, how Republicans
can best capitalize on Democrats
woes, legislatively or politically.
Last Novembers election
dynamics complicate the picture
on both fronts. Republican leaders
are urging a bit of restraint in
exploiting the White Houses new
weaknesses.
Legislatively one of Obamas
biggest second-term goals is to
overhaul the nations immigration
laws, including a new pathway to
citizenship for millions of people
living here illegally. Many
Republicans would like to deny
him such a legacy-enhancing
prize.
But GOP strategists say their
party may need immigration
reform more than Democrats do.
Hispanic voters overwhelming-
ly backed Obama in both his elec-
tions. The troubling trend for
Republicans might worsen if they
dont show greater interest in
Latinos concerns. For many, that
includes major changes to immi-
gration laws.
Theres a political concern that
we need to heal our rift with the
Hispanic community, said Kirby
Wilbur, the Republican Party
chairman in Washington state. He
said, however, hes not sure its
necessary to offer citizenship for
people who came here illegally.
Thats precisely the kind of view
that makes immigration difcult
for Republicans.
On other political fronts, the
White Houses scandal problems
offer a fat, easy target .
Republicans on the House Ways
and Means Committee on Friday
ripped into the ousted head of the
Internal Revenue Service. He apol-
ogized for the agencys heightened
scrutiny of tea party afliates and
other conservative groups seeking
tax-exempt status.
Republicans have been equally
indignant in ongoing inquiries
into the administrations role in
last Septembers terrorist attack in
Benghazi, Libya, which killed
four U.S. ofcials.
The third controversy now dog-
ging the White House the
Justice Departments secret seizure
of Associated Press phone records
in a security leak investigation
has thus far stirred less emotion
and partisanship on Capitol Hill.
Taken together, Republicans
say, these three controversies por-
tray a rapaciously political and
inept administration. That could
be a powerful message in next
years congressional and guberna-
torial elections, and perhaps in
the 2016 presidential race.
I think people are beginning to
think, Is anybody running the
government up there? said Rep.
Tom Cole, R-Okla., a close ally of
House Speaker John Boehner.
Incompetence, detachment, lack
of oversight. I think the damage is
going to be real and lasting for the
president.
Cole, however, said Boehner and
other party leaders are keenly
aware that Republicans can overdo
their attacks, and even build sym-
pathy for Obama, if their criti-
cisms appear nakedly political or
not supported by facts.
Republicans ponder
how to capitalize on
presidents troubles
REUTERS
White House press secretary Jay Carney is questioned by the press during the daily brieng at the White House
in Washington, D.C. Pressure was building on Monday for the Obama administration to re more people linked
to the Internal Revenue Service's extra scrutiny of conservative groups,possibly including another top IRS ofcial.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD Iraqs wave of bloodshed
sharply escalated Monday with more than a
dozen car bombings across the country,
part of attacks that killed at least 95 people
and brought echoes of past sectarian car-
nage and fears of a dangerous spillover
from Syrias civil war next door.
The latest spiral of violence which has
claimed more than 240 lives in the past
week carries the hallmarks of the two
sides that brought nearly nonstop chaos to
Iraq for years: Sunni insurgents, including
al-Qaidas branch in Iraq, and Shiite mili-
tias defending their newfound power after
Saddam Husseins fall.
But the widening shadow and regional
brinksmanship from Syrias conict now
increasingly threaten to feed into Iraqs
sectarian strife, heightening concerns that
Iraq could be turning toward civil war.
The Shiite-led government of Prime
Minister Nouri al-Maliki must balance its
close ties with Iran the main regional
ally of Syrias Bashar Assad and its posi-
tion among fellow Arab League members
and neighboring Turkey, which strongly
back Syrias mainly Sunni opposition.
Al-Maliki appears determined to boost
security crackdowns to keep Iraqs minority
Sunnis from taking a more high-prole role
in the anti-Assad forces, which have
received pledges of support from the long-
time insurgent group al-Qaida in Iraq.
There have been no claims of responsi-
bility for the current are-up of violence,
capped by Mondays body count that was
the highest death toll for a single day in 10
months. Yet some analysts believe its dif-
cult to separate Iraqs deep sectarian suspi-
cions from the Shiite-Sunni split over
Assad, which has also led to clashes in
Lebanon.
Iraq now has moved into a bigger circle
that covers Syria and Lebanon, said

Al-Maliki is not only worried about his
Sunni rivals possibly deepening their
involvement in the rebel cause in Syria,
said Patrick Clawson, director of research at
the Washington Institute for Near East
Policy. Al-Malikis worries extend to Iraqs
semiautonomous northern Kurdish region,
which has close links to Assad foe Turkey.
Al-Maliki believes this is the time to be
tough and show he is in control of the coun-
try, said Clawson. What we are seeing is
the backlash to that.
The U.S. and its Western allies strongly
support Syrias political opposition, but
have been reluctant to signicantly boost
weapons ow to rebel ghters because of
worries over Islamic militants who have
joined the anti-Assad brigades. But the
deepening refugee crisis in the region,
along with concern over spillover vio-
lence, is often cited by Arab states and
Turkey urging greater Western interven-
tion.
Sectarian tensions have been worsening
since Iraqs minority Sunnis began expand-
ing protests over what they say is mistreat-
ment at the hands of the Shiite-led govern-
ment.
