PUTIN SAYS U.S. AND RUSSIA POSITIONS ON SYRIA DIFFER

Switching the countys solid waste board
from senior city staff members to elected
ofcials has no demonstrable advantage,
according to the civil grand jury which also
concluded in the same report that customers
arent that informed about the agency over-
seeing their garbage and recycling services.
The report issued publicly Monday comes
as the South Bayside Waste Management
Authoritys 12 member agencies wrestle
with a task force proposal to do exactly
what the jury calls unnecessary change
its board of directors from appointed city
managers and department heads to one of
elected ofcials.
The SBWMA, also known as Rethink
Waste, negotiates waste rates for its mem-
ber agencies and oversees the Shoreway
Environmental Center in San Carlos which
provides recycling. The proposed gover-
nance change requires eight of the 12 mem-
bers Atherton, Belmont, Burlingame,
East Palo Alto, Foster City, Hillsborough,
Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Carlos, San
Mateo, San Mateo County and the West Bay
Sanitary District to agree.
But the grand jury concluded the SBWMA
wouldnt benet signicantly by doing so
and that elected ofcials already have suf-
cient inuence on major decisions like con-
tracts and rate increases. The current gover-
nance structure was likely established for
two reasons, the jury found: creating a
buffer between elected ofcials and waste
contractors as well as city councilmembers

A split vote kept leaders of the San Mateo County
Community College District from lling a vacant seat on
the board Monday night, instead instructing staff to ask
applicants previously excused to do an in-person interview
later this week.
Longtime trustee Helen Hausman stepped down April 30
due to health problems. Days after 12 applications were
received to ll the seat, the board narrowed the eld to seven
applicants citing a desire to appoint someone who had a
long-term interest in the position. The remaining seven
were interviewed over two public meetings before the four-
member board agreed Monday that it had reached a stand-
still.

Eleven-year-old Piper, a fth grade student at McKinley Elementary School in Burlingame, reads a story to her classmates on
one of the nal days of school. Shes part of the 21-member class to be the rst to complete the dual immersion program
started at the school in 2007.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Eleven-year-old Piper took a seat in
a chair a bit taller than she in front of
classmates Thursday morning and
cracked open a book she had penned,
Pingo and Jingo and Anna la
Astronauta.
She dedicated the original story to
Silvia, her longtime nanny who
helped Piper as she learned Spanish
through the dual immersion program at
McKinley Elementary School in
Burlingame. Piper is one of 21 fth
graders who was part of the original
dual immersion class in 2007. Last
week, this class completed the six-
year program. Now heading to
Burlingame Intermediate School, the
kids will have the chance to continue
their Spanish studies.
At rst, learning Spanish was dif-
cult, Piper recalled.
Nobody understood anything, she
said, adding that everyone hated the
homework at the time and didnt under-
stand how it would help.
McKinleys program starts with
kindergartners learning 90 percent of
the time in Spanish and 10 percent of
the time in English.
As the children progress, the per-
centage of time spent in Spanish
decreases while time spent speaking
English increases until, in fth grade,
its equal. Now, Piper sees a difference.
Spanish is much easier. Piper
explained shes almost as fluent in
Spanish as she is in English.
Her mother, Diane Russell, said that
watching her daughter learn two lan-
guages has been an amazing gift. Piper
even helps translate for her parents
when on trips or when talking to non-
English-speaking parents.
Principal Paula Valerio explained
that the program is still young and the
curriculum is often being updated.

Bear with head
stuck in jar rescued
JAMISON CITY, Pa. Four central
Pennsylvania residents said they used
only a rope and a ashlight during a
wild chase to rescue a young bear
whose head had been stuck in a plastic
jar for at least 11 days.
The frightened but powerful bruin
fell into a swimming pool at least
twice during the ordeal, according to a
report Saturday in the Press Enterprise
of Bloomsburg. But the group eventu-
ally yanked off the jar and set the ani-
mal free.
I thought, No one is going to
believe us, said Morgan Laskowski,
22, the bartender at the Jamison City
Hotel and a member of the impromptu
bear-wrangling team.
Area residents rst spotted the 100-
pound bruin with its head in a red jar
on June 3, but it eluded game wardens.
The animal was attracted to the con-
tainer because it appeared to have once
contained cooking oil.
He put his head in, and had a prob-
lem, said Mike Jurbala, 68, another
rescuer. Hed have died in a couple
more days.
Jurbala saw the bear Thursday night
as he was leaving the bar at the
Jamison City Hotel. He called Jeff
Hubler, a local employee of the state
Game Commission who had been
among those trying to capture it for
days with a lasso.
The two teamed up with Laskowski
and her mother, bar owner Jody Boyle,
to follow the bear through the dark-
ness.
You knew where he was because you
could hear him banging into things,
Jurbala said.
They cornered the bear in a resi-
dents backyard, where it ended up
falling into a pool a couple of times.
Eventually, they wrangled the animal
into a position where Hubler could
pull off the jar.
Youd think the bear would be
weak, because it hadnt eaten or drunk
for a week, but it was strong, Boyle
said.
Hubler said people should keep lids
on food jars that they throw away.
Miss Utah latest beauty
queen to botch answer
LAS VEGAS Miss Utah Marissa
Powell is the latest beauty queen to
trip on national television, not over
her gown, but during the interview
segment.
Asked about income inequality at
the Miss USA pageant in Las Vegas
Sunday night, the 21-year-old Salt
Lake City resident gave a rambling,
awkwardly-worded answer that includ-
ed several long pauses and the phrase
create education better.
The cringe-inducing response was
getting lots of buzz Monday. As a
video of the episode racked up hun-
dreds of thousands of views, pageant
co-owner Donald Trump scolded the
haters on Twitter, saying anyone can
lose their train of thought.
The question was a bit of a head
scratcher itself.
A recent report shows that in 40
percent of American families with
children, women are the primary earn-
ers, yet they continue to earn less than
men. What does this say about socie-
ty? asked NeNe Leakes of the reality
series The Real Housewives of
Atlanta.
Undaunted by the three-in-one
prompt, Powell started off strong:
I think we can relate this back to
education, and how we are continuing
to try to strive ... to ..., she said,
before appearing to lose her way.
She picked up after a long pause: ...
gure out how to create jobs right
now. That is the biggest problem. And
I think, especially the men are ... seen
as the leaders of this, and so we need to
see how to . create education better. So
that we can solve this problem. Thank
you.

Summer means enjoying sunlight after
work and indulging in fun thats not nor-
mally available in the evening hours.
This year, visiting Filoli is added to the list
of after-work fun available locally. The expan-
sive gardens will be available for evening
exploration a few times this summer an idea
from new Director Cynthia DAgosta.
Starting this Wednesday, when a sunset hike
and evening orchard walk will be offered at 6
p.m., the horticultural gem in Woodside hopes
to welcome new visitors. There are three dif-
ferent evenings of activities.
With the exception of special events,
Filoli traditionally closes in the afternoon,
even in the summer, said DAgosta.
Extending hours this summer for a few
evenings is, DAgosta hopes, a chance to
introduce the property to new people and
also explore a new aspect of the propertys
history the story of its staff.
In addition to hikes exploring the proper-
t y, Filoli is hosting a new event called Step
Back in Time Music and Costume of the
1920s from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Wednesday, July 17. Tickets, which are $35
for members and $40 for non-members, will
bring visitors into a jazzy world with drinks
and hors doeuvres. But its not just a party.
Volunteers will be donning dress of the time
and explaining the role of the staff within a
large working house to visitors.
Its a part of the homes history thats not
normally highlighted.
The historic home with 16 acres of formal
gardens was originally built for prominent
San Franciscans William Bowers Bourn II
and his wife. Bourn named Filoli by com-
bining the rst two letters from the key
words of his personal creed: Fight for a just
cause; Love your fellow man; Live a good
life.
The Bourns remained in the house until
both died in 1936. In 1937, the property
was sold to Mr. and Mrs. William P. Roth,
who maintained the property. Eventually,
the formal gardens gained worldwide recog-
nition. In 1975, Mrs. Roth donated 125
acres of Filoli to the National Trust for
Historic Preservation. The remaining
acreage was given to Filoli Center, which
operates the estate today.
Volunteers will not be portraying the fam-
ily but instead those who lived on the prop-
erty supporting the property owners. In the
1920s, a service job was a way of life that
often included moving ones family,
DAgosta said.
Staff and volunteers will come together
for this completely new event. DAgosta is
curious to get feedback from those who par-
take in the new activities. If welcomed, it
could mean more similar events will be
planned.
Sunset Hikes, led by Filoli nature educa-
tion docents, will be held 6 p.m. June 19
and Aug. 14. An Evening Orchard Walk will
be held 6 p.m. June 19. Admission is free to
members. For non-members admission is
$15, $12 for students and seniors. There is
no charge for children under 4 years old.
Advance reservations are required. Tickets
for the Step Back in Time Music and
Costume of the 1920s event go on sale
Tuesday, June 18. For more information

Bank robber
nabbed by teller takes deal
A Redwood City bank robbery suspect
nabbed after the teller followed him outside
and gave police updates from his cellphone
pleaded no contest to one felony in return
for no more than two years in prison
although a judge could consider less.
Marco Antonio Rubio-Baez, 27, took the
deal on one count of felony robbery rather
than face trial on additional counts includ-
ing drug possession charges.
Rubio-Baez reportedly stole $4,000 from
the First Republic Bank on the 700 block of
El Camino Real and prosecutors say he later
confessed to taking the
money for rent, cell-
phone bills and to send
back to his mother in
Mexico.
After the man later iden-
tified as Rubio-Baez
walked into the bank
April 1 and walked out
with the bag of cash he
demanded, the teller trig-
gered the alarm and fol-
lowed the suspect outside the building.
Using his cellphone, the teller gave police
updates on the suspects location and
Rubio-Baez was apprehended near Sequoia
Station. Redwood City police reported nd-
ing the money and a small bag of metham-
phetamine.
Rubio-Baez remains in custody on
$100,000 bail pending his Aug. 23 sen-
tencing hearing.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Rain
helped reghters douse Colorados most
destructive wildre in state history, while a
new wind-whipped blaze in California
forced evacuations and threatened homes
Monday near Yosemite National Park.
Investigators believed Colorados Black
Forest Fire was human-caused, and were
going through the charred remains of luxury
homes destroyed and damaged in it last
week. Even though the re was mostly con-
tained and more evacuation orders were
being lifted Monday night, ofcials were
not letting victims back into the most
developed area where there was concentrated
devastation from the re because the area
was being treated as a possible crime scene.
Residents have been anxious to return but
investigators want to preserve evidence,
and reghters also are working to make
sure the interior of the burn area is safe, by
putting out hot spots and removing trees in
danger of falling.
Were not ignoring you and were with
you, El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa
said.
In some cases, residents who were escort-
ed back for emergency situations have
refused to leave again.
Sheriffs ofcials said Monday that 502
homes have been lost in the 22-square-mile
re near Colorado Springs, which is 75 per-
cent contained. Two unidentified people
who were trying to ee were found dead in
the rubble.
Wildres were also burning in other parts
of Colorado as well as California, where
more than 700 firefighters battled the
Carstens Fire. That re near the main route
into Yosemite National Park in the Central
Sierra foothills began Sunday afternoon and
has burned about 1 1/2 square miles or 900
acres, California Department of Forestry
and Fire Protection spokesman Daniel
Berlant said.
With more than 140 engines and two hel-
icopters on the scene, the crews have con-
tained about 15 percent of the blaze so far.
The strong winds and dry conditions
have been major factors. The re moved
quickly, said Berlant, adding that
Mondays weather forecasts estimate gusts
of up to 20 miles per hour.
No structures have been burned as the
exact cause of the re has yet to be deter-
mined, Berlant said.
In New Mexico, crews have contained the
majority of the 94 square miles of wildres
raging throughout the state. The largest re,
the 37-square-mile Thompson Ridge Fire,
was 80 percent contained.
Near Colorado Springs, there were no
lightning strikes when the re broke out
last Tuesday amid record-breaking heat so
its believed the re must have been caused
by a person or a machine. Maketa said
Monday that local, state and federal investi-
gators are zeroing in on the point of ori-
gin of the re and that should help allow
residents of the areas hit hardest to tem-
porarily return home. He said crews were
working to bring in some heavy equipment
to help that work.
He said residents could be temporarily

The San Mateo City Council approved a
$158.9 million budget for next year with
about $40 million of it set aside for capital
improvement projects such as street and
sewer system upgrades.
In the second year of the citys two-year
business plan, the council approved a $119
million operating budget that includes
$82.5 million in its general fund expendi-
tures which pays for most critical city
services such as police, fire, parks and
recreation and public works. The city also
has about $36 million in special revenue
and enterprise funds, part of which is used
to pay down debt.
Fiscal year 2013-14 starts July 1.
As the council adopted the two-year busi-
ness plan last year, city ofcials anticipat-
ed a $4.3 million decit for FY 2012-13
that was closed with the citys reserve and
about a $4.6 million decit for FY 2013-
14.
The citys capital improvement program
budget is set at $39.9 million next year, up
by about $11 million compared to the FY
2012-13 budget, primarily from funding
for sewer capital improvements.
The city also added $4.5 million to its
reserve, bringing its total to $19.3 mil-
lion, equal to 2.8 months of budgeted oper-
ating expenditures, close to the policy
goal of three months of operating expendi-
tures, according to a staff report.
In 2010, the city projected the FY 2012-
13 decit to be at $7.1 million and $6 mil-
lion for FY 2013-14.
The decit was trimmed with department
reductions, some layoffs and employee
concessions in previous years including
furloughs.
The four largest general tax sources are
property tax, sales tax, property transfer
tax and hotel tax, comprising about 70 per-
cent of the citys total revenue.
Property tax is expected to decrease
slightly next scal year from $31.5 mil-
lion to just more than $31 million.
Property transfer tax, however, will
climb from about $4.4 million last scal
year to more than $5.1 million next scal
year.
The gure is far below the high periods of
more than $10 million annually in proper-
ty transfer taxes more than seven years ago
when home sales were brisk.
Sales tax revenue will be slightly down
next scal year from last from $22.5 mil-
lion to about $22.2 million.
The city now has 521.3 merit positions
and a total of more than 600 full-time
equivalent positions, which includes part-
timers and overtime cost.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A teen carjacking suspect
accused of kidnapping a car seller
with a fake gun and driving the
bound man around Daly City while
demanding his pink slip is men-
tally t for trial.
Two of three court-appointed
doctors found Jeremy Jenkins, 21,
competent which reinstates crimi-
nal charges of carjacking, kidnap-
ping during a carjacking and sec-
ond-degree robbery, according to
Chief Deputy District Attorney
Karen Guidotti.
He now returns to court Aug. 12
for a pretrial conference and, if the
case does not settle, Sept. 16 for
jury trial. Jenkins has previously
pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Jenkins is accused of carjacking
the seller of a Mustang after
responding to the mans
Craigslist ad April 23, 2012. After
returning to the Daly City BART
station from the test drive,
Jenkins allegedly pulled a replica
handgun and ordered the 26-year-
old man to handcuff himself.
Jenkins pulled a pillowcase over
the mans head and placed him in
the back seat and demanded the
pink slip, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce.
When the man said the pink slip
was at home, Jenkins allegedly
drove around for 20 minutes before
pulling into a garage and having
the man call his mother. The
woman, sensing something was
amiss when asked to bring the
pink slip to the BART station,
called 911. The police waited at
the BART parking lot and, when
Jenkins arrived, detained him at
gunpoint. After his arrest, Jenkins
told authorities he made a stupid
mistake, according to prosecu-
tors.
Jenkins remains in custody
without bail.

WASHINGTON States cant demand
proof of citizenship from people registering
to vote in federal elections unless they get
federal or court approval to do so, the
Supreme Court ruled Monday in a decision
complicating efforts in Arizona and other
states to bar voting by people who are in the
country illegally.
The justices 7-2 ruling closes the door on
states independently changing the require-
ments for those using the voter-registration
form produced under the federal motor voter
registration law. They would need permission
from a federally created panel, the Election
Assistance Commission, or a federal court
ruling overturning the commissions deci-
sion, to make tougher requirements stick.
Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote the
courts majority opinion, said federal law
precludes Arizona from requiring a federal
form applicant to submit information
beyond that required by the form itself.
Voting rights advocates welcomed the rul-
ing.
Todays decision sends a strong message
that states cannot block their citizens from
registering to vote by superimposing bur-
densome paperwork requirements on top of
federal law, said Nina Perales, vice president
of litigation for the Mexican American Legal
Defense and Educational Fund. The Supreme
Court has afrmed that all U.S. citizens have
the right to register to vote using the nation-
al postcard, regardless of the state in which
they live.

SACRAMENTO Cities and counties
could dramatically restrict the information
they release to the public without explana-
tion under a bill approved by the state
Legislature and sent to Gov. Jerry Brown as
part of the state budget package.
The change makes it optional for local
governments to comply with deadlines and
other rules when they receive requests for
public records. Current law requires them to
respond within 10 days and cite reasons for
needing more time or rejecting a request.
Open government advocates said if Brown
signs the legislation into law, it would
remove signicant tools for the public to
ensure that local governments are operating
transparently.
What I think it means is for the indenite
future, any local agency that for whatever
reason chooses to ignore a Public Records
Act request will not suffer any particular
legal pressure to comply, said Terry
Francke, general counsel of Californians
Aware, a group that advocates for govern-
ment transparency.
The California Newspaper Publishers
Association said the legislation will have a
chill on open records access and could lead
to expensive lawsuits from those seeking
records.
The only way that a requester is going to
be able to nd out why, or even if, their
request is denied is to litigate it, Ewert said.
Brown sought to suspend that mandate in
his budget proposal to save millions of dol-
lars in reimbursements the state owes to
cities and counties for following the law.
H.D. Palmer, a spokesman for the state
Department of Finance, said the department
does not have an estimate on the annual sav-
ings. The independent Legislative Analysts
Ofce estimated the cost in the tens of mil-
lions annually.
The change, which was not discussed dur-
ing Fridays oor votes, describes certain
public records rules as optional best prac-
tices. The Legislative Analysts Ofce rec-
ommended the change instead of Browns
proposal to suspend the mandate for local
governments to follow the California
Public Records Act.
Military plans would put
women in most combat jobs
WASHINGTON Women may be able to
start training as Army Rangers by mid-2015
and as Navy SEALs a year later under plans
set to be announced by the Pentagon that
would slowly bring women into thousands
of combat jobs, including those in elite spe-
cial operations forces.
Details of the plans were obtained by the
Associated Press. They call for requiring
women and men to meet the same physical
and mental standards to qualify for certain
infantry, armor, commando and other front-
line positions across the Army, Navy, Air
Force and Marines. Defense Secretary Chuck
Hagel reviewed the plans and has ordered the
services to move ahead.
The move, expected to be announced
Tuesday, follows revelations of a startling
number of sexual assaults in the armed
forces. Earlier this year, Joint Chiefs of
Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey said
the sexual assaults might be linked to the
longstanding ban on women serving in
combat because the disparity between the
roles of men and women creates separate
classes of personnel male warriors ver-
sus the rest of the force.

NATION/WORLD 8

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

Upswing in the Economy

TEHRAN, Iran Irans newly elected
president showcased his reform-leaning
image Monday by promising a path of
moderation that includes greater openness
on Tehrans nuclear program and overtures
to Washington. He also made clear where he
draws the line: No halt to uranium enrich-
ment and no direct U.S. dialogue without a
pledge to stay out of Iranian affairs.
Hasan Rowhanis rst post-victory news
conference was a study in what may make
his presidency tick.
Rowhani may be hailed as a force for
change, but he also appears to carry a deep
and self-protective streak of pragmatism.
He knows he can only push his views on
outreach and detente as far as allowed by the
countrys real powers, the ruling clerics and
their military protectors, the Revolutionary
Guard.
Many of Rowhanis statements reected
these boundaries, which could later expand
or contract depending on how much the
theocracy wants to endorse his agenda.
When he appealed to treat old wounds
with the U.S., he also echoed the ruling cler-
ics position that no breakthroughs can
occur as long as Washington is seen as try-
ing to undermine their hold on power.
Rowhanis urging for greater nuclear trans-
parency as a path to roll back sanctions
was also punctuated by a hard-liner stance:
No chance to stop the uranium enrichment
labs at the heart of the stalemate with the
West and its allies.
Rowhani spoke eloquently about a new
era on the international stage but avoided
direct mention of the sweeping crackdowns
at home since the disputed re-election of
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2009.
At the end of the news conference, a spec-
tator whose identity was not immediately
known yelled out for the release of oppo-
sition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi, who has
been under house arrest for more than two
years. Rowhani smiled but made no com-
ment.
You can make any kind of promises you
want, said Merhzad Boroujerdi, director of
the Middle East Studies program at Syracuse
University. At the end of the day, its the
ruling clerics that decide whether they go
anywhere.
There is no doubt, however, that the over-
all tone of Rowhanis remarks resonates
well in the West. The White House and oth-
ers have already signaled cautious hope that
Rowhanis presence could open new possi-
bilities on diplomacy and efforts to break
the impasse over Tehrans disputed nuclear
program after four failed negotiating rounds
since last year.
Even so, the Obama administration wont
welcome Rowhanis election with any new
nuclear offer.
Newly elected Rowhanis path
of moderation also shows limits

two recently disclosed programs: one that
gathers U.S. phone records and another that is
designed to track the use of U.S.-based
Internet servers by foreigners with possible
links to terrorism.
The location of FISA courts is secret. The
sessions are closed. The orders that result
from hearings in which only government
lawyers are present are classied.
Were going to have to nd ways where the
public has an assurance that there are checks
and balances in place ... that their phone calls
arent being listened into; their text messages
arent being monitored, their emails are not
being read by some big brother somewhere,
Obama said.
Obama is in Northern Ireland for a meeting
of leaders of allied countries. As Obama
arrived, the latest series of Guardian articles
drawing on the leaks claims that British
eavesdropping agency GCHQ repeatedly
hacked into foreign diplomats phones and
emails with U.S. help, in an effort to get an
edge in such high-stakes negotiations.
Obamas announcement follows an online
chat Monday by Edward Snowden, the man
who leaked documents revealing the scope of
the two programs to The Guardian and The
Washington Post newspapers. He accused
members of Congress and administration of-
cials of exaggerating their claims about the
success of the data gathering programs,
including pointing to the arrest of would-be
New York subway bomber Najibullah Zazi in
2009.
Snowden said Zazi could have been caught
with narrower, targeted surveillance programs
a point Obama conceded in his Monday
interview without mentioning Snowden.
We might have caught him some other
way, Obama said. We might have disrupted
it because a New York cop saw he was suspi-
cious. Maybe he turned out to be incompetent
and the bomb didnt go off. But at the mar-
gins we are increasing our chances of pre-
venting a catastrophe like that through these
programs, he said.
Obama also told Rose he wanted to encour-
age a national debate on the balance between
privacy and national security a topic
renewed by Snowdens disclosures.
Obama, who repeated earlier assertions that
the programs were a legitimate counterterror
tool and that they were completely noninva-
sive to people with no terror ties, said he has
created a privacy and civil liberties oversight
board.
Ill be meeting with them. And what I want
to do is to set up and structure a national con-
versation, not only about these two pro-
grams, but also the general problem of data,
big data sets, because this is not going to be
restricted to government entities, he said.
Congressional leaders have said Snowdens
disclosures have led terrorists to change their
behavior, which may make them harder to
stop a charge Snowden discounted as an
effort to silence him.
The U.S. government is not going to be
able to cover this up by jailing or murdering
me, he said. He added the government
immediately and predictably destroyed any
possibility of a fair trial at home, by label-
ing him a traitor, and indicated he would not
return to the U.S. voluntarily.
Congressional leaders have accused
Snowden of treason for revealing once-secret
surveillance programs two weeks ago in the
Guardian and The Washington Post. The
National Security Agency programs collect
records of millions of Americans telephone
calls and Internet usage as a counterterror
tool. The disclosures revealed the scope of the
collections, which surprised many Americans
and have sparked debate about how much pri-
vacy the government can take away in the
name of national security.
It would be foolish to volunteer yourself
to possible arrest and criminal charges if
you can do more good outside of prison than
in it, he said.
Snowden dismissed being called a traitor by
former Vice President Dick Cheney, who made
the allegations in an interview this week on
Fox News Sunday. Cheney was echoing the
comments of both Democrats and Republican
leadership on Capitol Hill, including Senate
Intelligence committee Chairwoman Dianne
Feinstein.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
The Anniston Star
I
magine for a moment a gaggle of
high-powered Washington elites
gathered at a White House podium.
This bipartisan assembly includes the cur-
rent president of the United States and top
members of his administration as well as
former President George W. Bush and key
personnel from his administration. Also,
included are the top senators and repre-
sentatives on our intelligence commit-
tees.
The subject is the recent revelations
that vast amounts of electronic data
belonging to U.S. citizens are being col-
lected by the feds in the name of national
security. As articles in The Guardian news-
paper and The Washington Post point out,
the National Security Agency has secretly
collected U.S. phone records and other
online activity for several years spanning
two presidential administrations.
All of this and probably much more
is done in the name of thwarting the
plans of jihadists who have already
proven themselves capable of commit-
ting deadly acts of terrorism in the United
States and across the globe.
Yet, Edward Snowden, a former private
contractor working for the NSA, told
reporters from The Guardian and The
Washington Post that the programs are
well over the line.
So, back to our podium assembly.
President Barack Obama along with
President Bush and Republican and
Democratic members of Congress look
directly into the TV cameras and walk
back their defenses of the collection of
so-called phone records metadata.
The programs are a step too far, they
say. While legal under the USA PATRIOT
Act, this massive invasion of the privacy
of U.S. citizens must come to an end.
Never again in this manner will we trade
liberty for security, they promise.
Thwarting terrorist plots may become
more difficult, they sigh, but the trust of
the American people is more important.
So from this day forward, they sum up, we
will no longer gather up the electronic
dust left by Americans as they use com-
puters and mobile phones.
Yeah, right.
No American can reasonably expect
such an announcement. Even if our leaders
were sincere in their declarations, a back-
slide into electronic snooping would hap-
pen within hours of a terrorist attack in
the United States. The stakes are too high
and the tools too attractive to do any-
thing else.
Whistleblowers
Editor,
Whistleblowers or weasels. That is the
question. Are Bradley Manning, Julian
Assange, John Kiriakou, Edward Snowden
and many others doing us all a great service
or putting us in harms way? Finding out
that our government and most all others lie
and dissemble to their own public and in
many cases to their own leaders is not a
great shock to many of us. To have our
noses rubbed in this reality does make us
uncomfortable. Are we the better for know-
ing the realities of the behavior of those
with power? By not knowing are we com-
plicit in the great phrase that allowing
absolute power invites absolute corruption?
Most of us have little time to parse
through all the various news sources and
those that pretend to be news sources and
come up with a reasoned conclusion. We
need a few good places to go to get at
least some of the unvarnished and in
many cases the otherwise untold truth.
Are there bad folks out there? Im sure
there are, but by not monitoring those in
power definitely runs other risks. Not
giving up too much liberty for an imag-
ined security is more in line with the real-
ity of the moment. Right now, I think the
whistleblower is on the better side.

The unasked questions
Editor,
Edward Snowden is a 29-year-old high
school dropout and Bradley Manning is a
troubled young man. How is this amount
of sensitive information available to
these questionable people? Possessing
top secret (level 3) clearance does not
entitle a person access to unlimited infor-
mation; it allows some qualification to be
briefed on a given program. The amount
of information available to Bradley
Manning is unbelievable. Where were the
safeguards? Where was the built-in system
protection? Whether one considers these
men villains or heroes, there are more
people at fault in this case.

Bay Bridge
safety compromise
Editor,
Bridge expert Frieder Seibles quote on
the new Bay Bridges safety regarding
the 36 broken bolts is revealing for what
is left unsaid. In a moderate earthquake,
we would see a little bit more damage
than we would otherwise see but the
bridge will not come down. The key
word here is moderate. After 11 years
and $6.3 billion this bridge replacement
emerges as incapable of sustaining the
big one, which seismologists agree is
in our near future. The saying is you get
what you pay for has been turned on its
head to be replaced by Gov Browns dubi-
ous judgment of Dont know if its a
setback. I mean, look, s happens.
Such an observation is contemptible as
it is inappropriate and the taxpayers
must demand the bridge we paid for.
Anything less is unacceptable.

Twist of words
Editor,
After reviewing a response to my letter
voiced by Robert W. Heagy Jr. (Off-the-
wall rhetoric continues letter to the edi-
tor in the June 11 edition of the Daily
Journal), I would suggest that he reread
my original letter.
I did not state that Republicans should
compromise with Democrats.
It was Bob Dole who said, It seems to
be almost unreal that we cant get
together on a budget or legislation; we
werent perfect but at least we got work
done.
Bob Dole didnt say compromise
either.
(Incidentally, Sen. John McCains dis-
gust with members of his own party was
ignored in this response).
This erroneous twist of words was the
sole creation of letter writer Robert W.
Heagy Jr.
However, I do agree with him that
hypocrites can also espouse rhetoric.

grand scheme of things but not the primary
reason why we were speaking. Got it. Move
on. Fifteen minutes
later, maybe 20
short enough to where
that earlier relation-
ship mention should
still be fresh in my
mind but long enough
to where it wasnt an
immediate follow
the chat ended with
some perfunctory
questions. Name
spelling. Age. Length of residence. Then
the kicker are you married?
When collecting biographical informa-
tion, I often default to simply asking Do
you have family youd like to mention? as
a good catch-all but a signicant other hav-
ing been mentioned, being more specic
felt the better path in this instance. Wasnt
it appropriate accurate, even for me to
ask specically about a spouse? I didnt hes-
itate before inquiring.
However, there was certainly a pause
before the answer and in it I heard the silent
thoughts likely crawling through the sub-
jects mind. Um, didnt I mention I was gay?
Did she forget so quickly? How dumb is this
reporter?
Um, no. Legally, we cant right now, he
replied (in my best recollection of his actual
words) and I quickly went into overdrive try-
ing to show that in the effort to be relevant
I had inadvertently come across as an insen-
sitive or at least an uneducated hack.
They could have been legally married in
that brief window in California. They could
have been married in another state, another
country even. Because of the constantly
changing political landscape of same-sex
marriage laws in the United States and glob-
ally, I cant assume the couple is not married
nor would I want to.
The issue, though, is not whether my
implied idiocy sparked the pause. The issue
is that there need be a pause at all.
Apause may seem insignicant; frankly, I
may be reading way too much into a few sec-
onds of silence. But oftentimes, it is these
small pinches that sting more than the
overall hit. The options only of single,
married or other. The inability to share cus-
toms paperwork. The implied question
marks by those unsure of a preferred label
Is it girlfriend? Wife? Partner? Husband?
Boyfriend? Signicant other? And, of
course, those pesky pauses from those who
for all purposes feel married but cant quite
claim the privilege.
Fingers crossed ngers waiting to wear
wedding rings, mind you the U.S.
Supreme Court will act by the end of this
month to do away entirely with the need for
future halts in conversation when the sub-
ject of marital status arises. The fate of
Californias Proposition 8 lies in the courts
hands and a ruling is anticipated any time
through June 27.
An afrmation of the marriage law wont
quell the ght for equality which will leave
in place that unique division between same-
sex couples who did legally marry and those
who cannot. Likewise, striking down the
law wont make everybody who isnt mar-
ried start mailing save the date cards. But
such a ruling opening up the possibility
means, when asked, a person should no
longer have to hesitate between yes and
no.
It is certainly time. In California, weve
been on pause long enough.

Big movers
By Christina Rexrode
NEW YORK Investors on Wall
Street are playing a guessing game
with the Federal Reserve.
On Monday, they guessed that the
central bank will continue trying to
prop up the economy and sent stocks
higher.
The major stock indexes all rose
about 1 percent in early trading and
stayed there for most of the day, before
dipping slightly in the afternoon. The
Standard & Poors 500 index rose
12.31 points, or 0.8 percent, to
1,639.04. It had been up as much as 20
points.
The markets gains were broad.
Telecommunications was the only one
of the 10 industry sectors in the S&P
500 to post a loss. Netix did better
than any other stock in the S&P 500
after announcing that it will run origi-
nal TV series from Dreamworks
Animation.
Overall, though, there were few big
company announcements or economic
reports. Trading was light, the day
more a holding pattern than a referen-
dum. Investors will have to keep
guessing about the Feds future actions
until Wednesday, when it will release a
policy statement shortly after midday.
Investors sent stocks up Monday
because they think Fed policymakers
will determine that the economy isnt
recovering fast enough. That might
seem like a contradiction, but a still-
weak economy would inuence the Fed
to continue its programs designed to
stimulate the economy: keeping inter-
est rates low to encourage borrowing,
and buying bonds to push investors
into stocks.
Not everyone thinks thats a logical
pattern.
Doug Lockwood, branch president of
Hefty Wealth Partners, a nancial advi-
sory rm in Auburn, Ind., said its not
rational for the stock market to regard
bad news as good, and to be yanked
back and forth more by the actions of a
central bank than the underlying fun-
damentals of the economy.
I think the markets a little hooked
on a drug here, Lockwood said. You
take drugs, you feel better, but its
short-lived. Printing of money should
never be considered a great thing for
the economy.
The market has been in ux since
May 22, when Fed Chairman Ben
Bernanke said the Fed would consider
pulling back on its bond-buying pro-
gram if measures of the economy,
especially hiring, improve. The com-
ment, made not in prepared testimony
but in response to a question from the
Joint Economic Committee in
Congress, was not expected. In the 17
trading days since then, the Dow Jones
industrial average has swung by triple
digits 11 times. Overall, the Dow is
down about 1 percent since before
Bernankes testimony.
Jim McDonald, chief investment
strategist at Northern Trust in
Chicago, said Bernanke will seek to
walk back on some of his previous
comments, and reassure investors that
the Fed wont pull back on stimulus
until its sure the economy is ready.
The surprise factor, more than the sub-
stance of Bernankes comments,
might have been what unnerved
investors, McDonald said.
The market hates surprises,
McDonald said. And he surprised us.
The fact that Bernanke is now
expected to regard the economy as
weak enough to still need stimulus
stems from two main data points
issued since his testimony, analysts
said: a jobs report and low ination.
Earlier this month, the government
reported that the U.S. added 175,000
jobs in May a solid addition, but
not enough to cut into the unemploy-
ment rate. And on Friday, the govern-
ment said that a key measure of ina-
tion the producer price index, which
measures wholesale prices rose just
0.1 percent after stripping out the
volatile costs of food and gas.
Investors guess Feds actions, push stocks up
By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON Is the era of ultra-low
interest rates nearing an end?
When he takes questions this week after a
Federal Reserve meeting, Chairman Ben
Bernanke will confront investors fears
that rates are headed higher.
Financial markets have been gyrating in
the 3 1/2 weeks since Bernanke told
Congress the Fed might scale back its
effort to keep long-term rates at record lows
within the next few meetings earlier
than many had assumed.
Bernanke cautioned that the Fed would
slow its support only if it felt condent the
job market would show sustained improve-
ment. And earlier in the day, he said the Fed
must take care not to pre-
maturely reduce its stimu-
lus for the still-subpar
economy.
Yet investors were left
puzzled and spooked by a
mixed message. Fear
spread that the Fed would
soon slow its $85 bil-
lion-a-month in bond
purchases. Those pur-
chases have been intended to hold down
long-term borrowing rates to spur spend-
ing. Low rates are credited with helping fuel
a housing rebound, sustain economic
growth, drive stock prices to record highs
and restore the wealth America had lost to
the Great Recession.
Many fear that a pullback in the Feds
bond purchases could boost long-term
rates, trigger a stock selloff and perhaps
weaken the economy.
On Wednesday, when the Fed ends a two-
day policy meeting with a Bernanke news
conference, the financial world will be
looking to the chairman to settle the con-
fusion. What, Bernanke will likely be
asked, would show sustained improvement
in the job market? And when will the Fed
most likely slow the pace of its bond pur-
chases?
Some analysts think Bernanke will sig-
nal to investors that the Fed has no imme-
diate plans to curtail its stimulus.
The Fed has worked very hard to get
stock prices and home prices rising to help
the economy, and I dont think they want to
back away from that in any way, said Mark
Zandi, chief economist at Moodys
Analytics. I think Bernanke will deliver a
strong message that the Fed is not going to
taper until the job market is improving in a
consistent way.
Last month, the U.S. economy added a
solid 175,000 jobs. But the unemployment
rate was 7.6 percent. Economists tend to
regard the job market as healthy when
unemployment is between 5 percent and 6
percent.
Since Bernankes vague public comments
May 22, the Dow Jones industrial average
has uctuated sharply and shed about 3 per-
cent of its value. But the bigger shock has
been in the bond market. The rate on the
benchmark 10-year Treasury has jumped
from a low of 1.63 percent in early May to
2.13 percent.
World looks to Bernanke to clarify stimulus plans
Ben Bernanke

DALLAS Susan G. Komen for the Cure
announced Monday that a physician with a
long career in health policy and research
will become the breast cancer charitys new
president and CEO.
Judith A. Salerno will replace Nancy
Brinker as CEO of the Dallas-based organi-
zation. Brinker, whose promise to her
dying sister begat a fundraising powerhouse
that has invested hundreds of millions of
dollars in cancer research, announced last
summer she would step down following an
onslaught of criticism over Komens deci-
sion quickly reversed to stop giving
grants to Planned Parenthood for breast can-
cer screenings.
Salerno, 61, is execu-
tive director and chief
operating ofcer of the
Institute of Medicine of
the National Academy of
Sciences, a prestigious
independent group that
advises the government
and private sector about
health and science.
Komens commitment has helped count-
less numbers of low-income and medically
underserved women and men get care they
might otherwise have gone without, and
Komens research program is one of the
most highly respected in the nation,
Salerno said in a statement.
The appointment of Salerno, with her
deep medical background, comes after the
embattled Komen foundation saw several
executives leave and numbers fall at their
fundraising Races for the Cure across the
country in the months after the Planned
Parenthood controversy. Earlier this
month, Komen announced it was canceling
half of its three-day charity walks due to a
drop in participation levels.
When asked about Salernos views on
Planned Parenthood or the funding contro-
versy, Komen spokeswoman Andrea Rader
said the charity was focusing on moving
forward.
Thats an issue that was settled a long
time ago, Rader said, also describing
Salerno as a good t due to her experience in
a range of areas, from public policy to com-
munity health.
Komen breast cancer charity names new CEO

LOS ANGELES Netix said Monday
that it would offer new TV shows from
DreamWorks Animation starting in 2014 in
what the company described as its biggest
transaction ever for original rst-run con-
tent.
Though financial details were not dis-
closed, Netflix Inc. said the agreement
includes more than 300 hours of new TV
episodes in a multi-year deal. Analysts esti-
mated the contract could be worth several
hundred million dollars over time.
The transaction is a major coup for both
companies. It helps Netix compete with
pay TV channels such as HBO and
Showtime, and it gives DreamWorks a
potentially lucrative outlet for its shows as
it tries to shed its reliance on two or three
big-budget movies each year.
This is arguably a groundbreaking deal,
said Tuna Amobi, a Standard & Poors equity
analyst who covers both Netflix and
DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc.
While concerns remain about how much
the deal will cost Netix in the end, the
company said it can debut the original
series in the 40 countries where Neti x
operates. That could help spread the costs
over more territories and more subscribers if
Netix continues to grow overseas.
The big question is if this is going to be
an international catalyst in terms of sub-
scriber growth, Amobi said.
Netflix cuts original TV deal with DreamWorks
Google settles suit,
clears way for stock split
SAN FRANCISCO Google has resolved
a shareholder lawsuit blocking a long-
delayed stock split, clearing the way for the
Internet search leader to issue a new class of
non-voting shares later this year.
The settlement announced Monday came
on the eve of a scheduled Delaware chancery
court trial that threatened to cast an unat-
tering light on Google co-founders Larry
Page and Sergey Brin.
The class-action by the Brockton
Retirement Board in Massachusetts and
another Google shareholder, Philip
Skidmore, alleged that Page and Brin engi-
neered the stock split in a way that unfairly
benets them while shortchanging the rest
of the companys shareholders.
Google denied the allegations and main-
tained that the proposed stock split
announced 14 months ago would benet
shareholders by ensuring that Page and Brin
would preserve the power that has enabled
them to make the same kinds of bold bets on
technology that has helped increase the
companys market value by more than $260
billion during the past nine years.
The split calls for a new class of C stock
with no voting power to be issued for each
share of an existing category of A voting
stock. The structure is designed to ensure
that Page and Brin retain control over the
company, even though they only currently
own about 15 percent of Googles outstand-
ing stock, combined.

Spurs on the verge of another
NBA title; Miami fights for its life
By Tim Reynolds
MIAMI LeBron James has been here
before, with dire results.
It was two years ago, the end of the rst
season of Big Three basketball in
Miami. The situation: Heat down 3-2,
hosting Game 6 of the NBA Finals, only
two home wins separating them from
what would have been James rst title.
Then, thud.
James had six
turnovers in Game 6,
the Heat were outscored
by 24 with him on the
floor, and the Dallas
Mavericks became
NBA champions. And
now, here comes a
chance to face the same situation. Down
3-2 again, and back at home for Game 6 of
the nals against the San Antonio Spurs
on Tuesday night, Miami needs two wins
in three days or else it will be watching
someone else end this season with a party
on its own oor.
Were going to see if were a better
team than we were our rst year together,
James said.
Were also about to see is how much
James has grown since that 2011 season.
He has more at stake than any other
Heat player in this series, especially now
that the Spurs are one game away from
grabbing the championship. If the Heat
lose, itll be widely perceived as James
failure. If the Heat win, his status as the
games best player not only becomes
even more cemented, but he might even
win over a few more doubters.
A
ragon boy tennis coach Dave
Owdom will get a kick out of this:
Saturday afternoon, my family
went to watch wait for it roller derby
in Richmond.
After watching a half a match, I had only
one observation: this is not the roller
derby with which I grew up. Other than
watching cartoons, there were two, cant-
miss events Saturday mornings growing up
professional
wrestling and roller
derby, which were
essentially the same
thing, except one was
on roller skates.
The tracks were made
of wood, with banked
turns and padded rail-
ing surrounding the
track: the better to
protect midsections
when competitors were
inevitably ipped over
them.
Not to take anything
away from the women battling it out on the
track Saturday afternoon, they really love
the sport and plying their trade in front of a
sold-out crowd proves the sport is still
viable heck people shelled out 20 bucks
for tickets. But it just wasnt what I remem-
ber growing up.
The best part of the roller derby in the
1970s and early 1980s was that there still
was the camp factor. Much like pro
wrestling, roller derby was lled with char-
acters larger than life and, while somewhat
violent, it was violent in the pro wrestling

No OT, but
Boston now
leads 2-1
By Jimmy Golen
BOSTON Tuukka Rask shut out the
Chicago Blackhawks in Game 3 of the
Stanley Cup nals on Monday night and got
enough help from the Bruins offense to do
it without another exhausting overtime.
After playing four extra periods in the rst
two games, the Bruins made an early night
of it with second-period goals by Daniel
Paille and Patrice Bergeron to win 2-0 and
take a 2-1 lead in the Stanley Cup nals.
Rask stopped 28 shots for his third
shutout of the 2013 playoffs.
Corey Crawford made 33 saves for the
Blackhawks.
Game 4 is Wednesday night in Boston
before the matchup of Original Six teams
returns to Chicago for a fth game. The
teams split the rst two games there, with
the Blackhawks winning Game 1 in triple-
overtime and the Bruins stealing home-ice
advantage on Pailles goal in the rst OT of
the second game.

Anger in Brazil: residents
protest Confederations Cup
Nigeria topples Tahiti 6-1
REUTERS
Protests erupted in Brazil as 100,000 Brazilans took to the street in several
political protests across the county.The protests come as Brazil hosts the
Confederations Cup, a warm-up to the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Meanwhile,
on the actual pitch, Nigeria beat Tahiti 6-1 in Cup group action.
By Bradley Brooks
SAO PAULO More than
100,000 people took to the
streets in overwhelmingly peace-
ful protests in at least eight cities
Monday, demonstrations that
voiced the deep frustrations
Brazilians feel about carrying
heavy tax burdens but receiving
woeful returns in public education,
health, security and transporta-
tion.
In Sao Paulo, Brazils economic
hub, at least 65,000 protesters
gathered at a small, treeless plaza
then broke into three directions in
a Carnival atmosphere, with drum-
mers beating out samba rhythms
as the crowds chanted anti-corrup-
tion jingles. They also focused on
the cause that initially sparked the
protests last week a 10-cent
hike in bus and subway fares.
Violence was seen in Rio de
Janeiro, Belo Horizonte and the
southern city of Porto Alegre.
Police clashed with clusters of
protesters in those cities, at times
using tear gas to disperse them. In
Rio, about 50 protesters tried to
break into the state assembly
building before being driven off.
In Porto Alegre, some protesters
set a bus on re and threw rocks at
empty commuter trains.
Thousands of protesters in the
capital, Brasilia, peacefully
marched on congress, where
dozens scrambled up a ramp to a
low-lying roof, clasping hands
and raising their arms, the light
from below sending their elongat-
ed shadows onto the structures
large, hallmark upward-turned
bowl designed by famed architect
Oscar Niemeyer. Some congres-
sional windows were broken, but
police did not use force to contain
the damage.
Rarely since the end of the
1964-1985 dictatorship has
Brazil seen protests of such size.
This is a communal cry saying:
Were not satisfied, Maria
Claudia Cardoso said on a Sao
Paulo avenue, taking turns waving
a sign reading (hash)revolution
with her 16-year-old son,
Fernando, as protesters streamed
by.
Were massacred by the gov-
ernments taxes yet when we
leave home in the morning to go
to work, we dont know if well
make it home alive because of the
violence, she added. We dont
have good schools for our kids.
Our hospitals are in awful shape.
Corruption is rife. These protests
will make history and wake our
politicians up to the fact that
were not taking it anymore!
The protests come after the
opening matches of soccers
Confederations Cup over the
weekend, just one month before a
papal visit, a year before the
World Cup and three years ahead of
the 2016 Olympics in Rio de
Janeiro. The unrest is raising
some security concerns, especial-
ly after protests last week in Sao
Paulo and over the weekend in Rio
produced injury-causing clashes
with police.
Protest leaders went to pains to
tell marchers that damaging pub-
lic or private property would only
hurt their cause. In Sao Paulo, sen-
timents were at rst against the
protests last week after windows
were broken and buildings spray
painted during the demonstra-
tions.
Police, too, changed tactics. In
Sao Paulo, commanders said pub-
licly before the protest they would
try to avoid violence, but warned
they could resort to force if pro-
testers destroyed property. During
the rst hours of the march that
continued into the night there was
barely any perceptible police
presence.
The Sao Paulo march itself was a
family oriented affair: A group of
mothers received a rousing cheer
when they arrived at the plaza
where the march began, brandish-
ing signs that said Mothers Who
Care Show Support.
Im here to make sure police
dont hurt these kids, said Sandra
Amalfe, whose 16-year-old daugh-
ter chatted with friends nearby.
We need better education, hospi-
tals and security not billions
spent on the World Cup.
BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil
Nigeria rolled to a 6-1 victory at
Confederations Cup on Monday
over Tahaiti, which was making its
debut at a major FIFAtournament.
Nnamdi Oduamadi scored a hat
trick for the African champions,
while Elderson Echiejile added two
more goals.
Still, the team from the South
Pacic may have had the games
best moment.
Jonathan Tehau headed the ball
into the net early in the second
half, cutting the decit to 3-1. The
Tahitians then celebrated by pre-
tending to row a boat together.
The goal generated the biggest
cheers of the match at the Mineirao
Stadium, where the local
Brazilians adopted Tahiti as their
team while jeering the Nigerians.
Tahiti, 138th in the FIFA rank-
ings, is used to playing in front of
a few hundred players. But thou-
sands were watching in Belo
Horizonte and millions more on
television.
Weve shown the world theres
some real quality in Tahiti, said
Marama Vahirua, the only profes-
sional on Tahitis team. Just our
presence here is a victory and it
was fantastic to be adopted by the
Brazilian public.

Our next challenge, biggest challenge, will be Tuesday
night, James said. We have an opportunity on our home
oor with our home fans to keep the series going, and we
look forward to it.
Getting swept in the nals by San Antonio in 2007, that
one was written off as James just not having enough talent
around him. Losing to Dallas in 2011, a year after he,
Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh came together in such bally-
hooed fashion in Miami, was an absolute nightmare for
James. Winning it all by topping Oklahoma City last sea-
son, that was his long-awaited ascension.
And what will be written about this season, itll all be
decided over the next few days.
I have to come up big, for sure in Game 6, James said.
But I believe we all have to play at a high level in order to
keep the series going. So me being one of the leaders of
this team, I do put a lot of pressure on myself to force a
Game 7, and I look forward to the challenge.
When the Heat have been in trouble the last two postsea-
sons, its pretty much has meant James to the rescue.
In matchups where the Heat have been down in a series or
faced elimination over the past two seasons, the games
best player has played like the games best player.
HEAT
SAN ANTONIO The Spurs have
long been the NBAs gold standard
when it comes to drafting and develop-
ment, preferring to roll up their
sleeves and scour the globe to nd the
right players to slot into well-dened
roles in San Antonio.
They have more international play-
ers on their roster than any other team
in the NBA, and even their American
players dont come straight from
America to the league.
Its the hard way to build a roster,
requiring patience, discipline and
investment that few teams are able to
muster these days. And its paying off
in a big way for them in the NBA
Finals.
There is Danny Green, who was cut
three times and spent a summer in
Slovenia, drilling every 3-pointer in
sight and running away with the nals
MVP award.
There is Gary Neal, who was undraft-
ed out of Towson University and spent
three years kicking around Turkey,
Spain and Italy before being discov-
ered by the Spurs, scoring 24 points in
a Game 3 victory that put them back in
control.
There is Boris Diaw, the once-prom-
ising Frenchman who was on his way
out of the league before the Spurs
brought him in, playing surprisingly
stingy defense on LeBron James and
nding Manu Ginobili cutting to the
basket for easy buckets in a Game 5
win that moved the Spurs one victory
away from the franchises fth title.
How do they nd these guys?
General manager RC Buford has
assembled an unparalleled scouting
staff and worked with Gregg Popovich
to establish a system and culture over
the last 15-plus seasons that allows
them to identify the exact attributes
that will allow a player to succeed in
San Antonio.
Our management staff, RC does a
great job with his scouts showing us
who is out there, who is available,
Popovich said earlier this season.
And we all sit down and decide who we
want to bring in. Once we bring them
in, we do take a lot of time trying to
develop them.
It takes communication. It takes
trust. It takes commitment to do what
the Spurs do. It also takes a willing-
ness to think outside the normal
parameters of team building, to con-
sider players that dont t the proto-
typical mold.
When you look at a basketball
player and youre trying to evaluate
someone, in my opinion youve got to
look past the typical biases and pre-
conceived notions on what an NBA
player is and should look like or
should be; what their pedigree or path
should be and really get down to the
guys talent and character and work
ethic, said forward Matt Bonner, who
played in Italy and was acquired in a
trade from Toronto. Is this person
going to make our team better and can
he play? I think when you do that you
can get a more accurate portrayal of a
player and what their value potentially
could be.
Scouting, development paying off for Spurs
MIAMI The Miami Heat werent
supposed to be in this situation. Not
now, anyway.
Coming home from Texas with their
season on the line in 2011 was one
thing. They were at the end of their
rst year together LeBron James,
Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh still try-
ing to gure it all out and clearly a
long way from it.
But this season they were the NBAs
best team, one that lost three games in
three months and made losing three
times in one series look unlikely, if
not downright unimaginable.
The San Antonio Spurs can nish
Miami off Tuesday night in Game 6 of
the NBA Finals, reaffirming them-
selves as one of the leagues greatest
franchises.
If so, the Heats Big Three once
again go from celebrated to devastated.
Were going to see if were a better
team than we were our rst year togeth-
er, James said.

opening faceoff instead of after
the end of regulation.
Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara
and Chicago forward Marian Hossa
were both injured during warmups.
But while Chara needed just some
stitches after his collision with
teammate Milan Lucic, Hossa was
a late scratch with an unspecied
injury.
Hossa, who has three game-win-
ning goals in the playoffs this
year, was tied for the team lead
with 15 playoff points and was
third on the Blackhawks with 17
goals during the regular season.
It was a loss the Blackhawks
couldnt afford.
Not with Rask stopping every-
thing that came his way.
The Bruins goalie, who was a
backup to Conn Smythe-winner
Tim Thomas in the teams 2011
Stanley Cup run, didnt face as dif-
cult a test as in the rst period of
Game 2, when the Blackhawks
sent 19 shots at him but managed
just one goal. But he stymied them
all game and got some help from
the post on Bryan Bickells shot
with 42 seconds left in the game.
The puck caromed off the right
post and the goal light ickered
on briey, but play continued for
another 30 seconds before the
whistle blew and the game degen-
erated into sticuffs. Chara was on
top of Viktor Stalberg, pounding
away, and Andrew Shaw got the
better of Brad Marchand.
By the time it was all sorted out,
the benches were a little emptier
but the scoring column for
Chicago was still blank.
After a scoreless rst period, the
Bruins made it 1-0 when Paille
slapped in the puck at 2:13 of the
second, falling to one knee for
extra power. It stayed that way
until late in the second, when the
Bruins picked up their rst power
plays of the game on two nearly
identical plays, with a Bruin rac-
ing to the net and a Blackhawk
undercutting his skates and send-
ing him crashing into the left
post.
Boston set up their offense dur-
ing the 11-second two-man advan-
tage, and just ve seconds after it
expired but before Dave
Bolland was able to get back into
the play Jaromir Jagr slid one
across the middle, past Lucic in
the center to Bergeron on the other
side for the easy one-timer.
It was Jagrs 197th career play-
off point in 199 games, moving
him into sole possession of fth
place on the NHLs all-time post-
season points list.
Notes: Jagr had been tied with
Paul Coffey on the career postsea-
son scoring list. ... Two of Jagrs
playoff points came on goals
scored against the Blackhawks
when they were swept by Penguins
in 1992 final. ... Bostons
Gregory Campbell, who broke his
leg blocking a shot in Game 3 of
the Eastern Conference finals,
attended the game. ... The Bruins
have killed off 27 straight penal-
ties in the playoffs. ... Bostons
David Krejci entered the game tied
with Chicagos Andrew Sharp for
the most goals in the postseason
with nine. The Bruins center
entered the game leading all scor-
ers with 23 points. ... The Bruins
are attempting to win a Cup for the
second time in three seasons for
the third time in their history.
They also did it in 1939 and 41
and again in 1970 and 72. ...
Bruins won their seventh straight
home playoff game. ... The
Blackhawks fell to 3-5 on the road
in the postseason. ... Ben Smith,
who played just one game this reg-
ular season and none in the play-
offs, replaced Hossa in the lineup.
... Stalberg replaced Brandon
Bollig in the lineup for Chicago.

ARLINGTON, Texas Nelson
Cruz homered twice, A. J.
Pierzynski drove in three runs and
the Texas Rangers snapped a six-
game losing streak with an 8-7
win over the AL West-leading
Oakland Athletics on Monday
night.
The Rangers had scored only
eight runs during what was the
longest active skid in the majors,
and all six losses came at home.
Cruzs second homer was a two-
run shot onto the hill in straight-
away center eld on an 0-2 pitch
from Jesse Chavez (1-1) in the
fth. Cruz thrust his right arm into
the air and shouted out while
rounding the bases on his 18th
homer of the season. It came right
after Pierzynskis RBI double and
put the Rangers up 7-6.
Cruz added a run-scoring double
in the seventh and matched his
season high with four RBIs.
Oakland, which entered the four-
game series opener with a three-
game lead over the Rangers in the
AL West, wiped out an early 3-0
decit with a six-run fourth ignited
by a bizarre play.
Neal Cotts (3-1) went 2 1-3 per-
fect innings in relief of rookie
Nick Tepesch. Robbie Ross and
Tanner Scheppers each worked 1-
2-3 innings, then Joe Nathan gave
up a run before securing his 21st
save in 22 chances.
After being held to two runs or
less in a team record-matching six
games in a row, the Rangers took
care of that streak in the rst three
innings. Pierzynski pulled a two-
run homer off the right-eld foul
pole in the second, an inning
before an RBI double by Ian
Kinsler. That was Kinslers rst
hit in 10 at-bats since coming off
the disabled list Saturday after
missing 25 games with a rib cage
injury.
The Rangers eight runs and 12
hits were both their most in 16
games this month.
Cruz, who had his 10th career
multihomer game, hit a solo shot
in the fourth.
In the Oakland fourth, Yoenis
Cespedes hit a grounder that rico-
cheted off third baseman Adrian
Beltre toward shortstop. Elvis
Andrus was about to throw to rst
when he saw John Jaso running in
front of him toward third.
Andrus threw to Beltre, who
made a swiping attempt at a tag.
Jaso, sliding headrst in front of
him, lifted his arm into the air to
avoid the tag and then dived into
the base with his left hand. He was
called safe by third base umpire
Jordan Baker even though it
appeared his hand came off the bag
while being tagged. Beltre was
irate and manager Ron
Washington even came out to
argue the call.
Rangers end 6-game skid
with 8-7 win over Oakland

sense: they were athletes that knew how to
properly deliver and take a blow. Elbows to
the sternum were common, as were the
clothesline takedowns. The whip was a
common offensive tactic in which the
jammer, the person who scored the
points, was ung forward by a teammate,
to give that person even more speed to slip
by defenders.
The roller derby of old was played with
tongue rmly planted in cheek. I didnt get
that vibe in Richmond Saturday night. I
dont know if all modern-day roller derby
leagues operate the way this one did, but
there was more of a serious vibe to these
women. Which is ne if that is what their
fans are looking for.
For me, it wasnt my type of gig. Nor my
daughters, who was bored after just a few
minutes. At halftime of the rst match, we
took off. It made it easier to call it early
considering my wife had gotten the tickets
for free from a colleague.
We offset some of the gas used by re-sell-
ing our wristbands that got us into the
venue. Aguy in his mid- to late-20s came
jogging up to us as we were heading to the
parking lot, asking if we were leaving and
if he could buy our wristbands to get into
the pavilion. I told him ve bucks each and
he came back with a $20 for all three. Sold!

If youre a sports fan, this past weekend
was one of those cant-miss events: the
U.S. Open golf tournament. As usual, there
were hundreds of stories playing at Merion
Golf Club outside of Philadelphia.
The biggest story was the course itself.
One of the smallest tracts used for a modern
major less than 7,000 yards many
expects thought players, with their over-
sized club heads and hot balls, would make
mincemeat of Merion.
Of course, the opposite was true. Merion
chewed up and spit out professional golfers
like no course Ive seen in a long time. All
U.S. Open courses are tough and Merion
was no exception.
Another major story line Sunday was
Phil Mickelson, once again, coming up
short in his bid to win the U.S. Open. His
second-place nish was the sixth of his
career, a record. If Mickelson hadnt
already won four majors, Id feel a lot more
sorry for him.
The most controversial story happened
before the weekend and thus probably got
lost in the shufe of Saturdays and
Sundays excitement. Zach Johnson, a
former Masters champion, complained
about the manipulative nature of the
USGA, the governing body of golf in the
United States and the organizer of the U.S.
Open. He complained the course was too
tricked up, making it that much tougher to
play.
Im pretty sure this wasnt Johnsons
rst U.S. Open. Why no complaints
before? If there is a U.S. Open signature,
its rough so thick and tall you could lose a
small child in it. Johnson, however, must
love how the Masters is arguably the easi-
est of the majors to win because of the lack
of signicant rough.
Johnsons whining came off as that of a
player who just had his game destroyed by
one of the toughest tests in golf. Hey
Zach, if you dont like it, dont play it any
more. Im sure there are thousands of play-
ers who would love to take your place in
the U.S. Open eld.

SAN FRANCISCO Giants right-hander
Ryan Vogelsong will have his surgically
repaired pitching hand re-examined Tuesday
with the hope of taking another step in his
recovery.
Vogelsong broke two bones in his right
pinkie area and also dislocated a knuckle in
the hand on a swing May 20 and underwent
surgery the next day. He had ve pins insert-
ed in his hand during the procedure at
Stanford, performed by orthopedist Dr. Tim
McAdams. He will examine Vogelsong on
Tuesday at AT&T Park.
Other than waving a magic wand to make
it heal, were doing the right things,
Vogelsong said Monday, before the opener
of a three-game series with San Diego.
The expected recovery time is six to eight
weeks until Vogelsong is pitching again,
but he likely would need a rehab assignment
before re-joining the Giants.
Vogelsong said that if an X-ray on
Tuesday shows increased healing, he could
have a couple of the pins removed and begin
additional mobility exercises. The pins
poke through Vogelsongs skin beneath a
protective brace.
Hopefully theres some pins coming out
tomorrow, he said. Thats the plan, but
obviously I dont know for sure until I get
some X-rays tomorrow and see how things
are healing. Its good news, but Im a little
worried about getting pins pulled out of my
hand. Itll be a good thing. Ill get over it. I
should be able to start moving it around a
little bit more.
The journeyman Vogelsong, a 2011 All-
Star who received an $8.3 million, two-year
contract in January 2012, was hurt on a
swing when he chased an inside fastball
from Washingtons Craig Stammen during
an 8-0 victory against the Nationals last
month.
He is 2-4 with a 7.19 ERA in nine starts
this season, but was injured during his best
outing of the year.
SAN FRANCISCO Will Venable made
an incredible catch to save San Diego,
pinch-hitting pitcher Andrew Cashner drove
in the go-ahead run with a perfectly execut-
ed safety squeeze in the 13th inning, and the
Padres extended their season-best winning
streak to seven games with a 5-3 victory
over the San Francisco Giants on Monday
night.
Venables diving grab on the center-eld
warning track with his back to home plate
ended the 12th and stole a game-winning hit
from Juan Perez.
Moments later, Alexi Amarista started the
winning rally with a single and went to third
on Chris Denoras single.
Cashner came up to face Jose Mijares (0-
1) and dropped down a bunt single between
the mound and third base for his sixth career
hit and second RBI.
San Diego added another run on a bases-
loaded walk from Jake Dunning.
Nick Vincent (1-0) pitched two scoreless
innings. Huston Street nished the 4-hour,
35-minute game for his 14th save in 15
chances. It was San Franciscos longest
game of the year.
The Padres nally came through after they
had two runners on and one out in the 11t h
and 12th, but Giants relievers Sandy
Rosario and Javier Lopez got a pair of
strikeouts to end each threat.
Headley hit a tying single in the seventh
against Jean Machi, who induced an inning-
ending double play by Jesus Guzman to
avoid further damage.
The Giants (35-34) couldnt hold a 3-1
lead for Barry Zito and dropped into fourth
place in the NL West for the rst time since
April 8.
Forsythe had his rst three-hit game this
year for San Diego, swept in San
Franciscos waterfront ballpark April 19-
21.

To ease shortage of organs, grow them in a lab?
By Malcolm Ritter
NEWYORK By the time 10-year-old Sarah Murnaghan
nally got a lung transplant last week, shed been waiting
for months, and her parents had sued to give her a better
shot at surgery.
Her cystic brosis was threatening her life, and her case
spurred a debate on how to allocate donor organs. Lungs and
other organs for transplant are scarce.
But what if there were another way? What if you could
grow a custom-made organ in a lab?
It sounds incredible. But just a three-hour drive from the
Philadelphia hospital where Sarah got her transplant,
another little girl is beneting from just that sort of tech-
nology. Two years ago, Angela Irizarry of Lewisburg, Pa.,
needed a crucial blood vessel. Researchers built her one in a
laboratory, using cells from her own bone marrow. Today
the 5-year-old sings, dances and dreams of becoming a re-
ghter and a doctor.
Growing lungs and other organs for transplant is still in
the future, but scientists are working toward that goal. In
North Carolina, a 3-D printer builds prototype kidneys. In
several labs, scientists study how to build on the internal
scaffolding of hearts, lungs, livers and kidneys of people
and pigs to make custom-made implants.
Heres the dream scenario: Apatient donates cells, either
from a biopsy or maybe just a blood draw. Alab uses them,
or cells made from them, to seed onto a scaffold thats
shaped like the organ he needs. Then, says Dr. Harald Ott of
Massachusetts General Hospital, we can regenerate an
organ that will not be rejected (and can be) grown on
demand and transplanted surgically, similar to a donor
organ.
That wont happen anytime soon for solid organs like
lungs or livers. But as Angela Irizarrys case shows, simpler
body parts are already being used as researchers explore the
possibilities of the eld.
Just a few weeks ago, a girl in Peoria, Ill., got an experi-
mental windpipe that used a synthetic scaffold covered in
stem cells from her own bone marrow. More than a dozen
patients have had similar operations.
Dozens of people are thriving with experimental bladders
made from their own cells, as are more than a dozen who
have urethras made from their own bladder tissue. ASwedish
girl who got a vein made with her marrow cells to bypass a
See ORGANS, Page 19
So far, the lab-grown parts implanted in people have involved fairly simple structures basically sheets, tubes and hollow
containers. Solid internal organs like livers, hearts and kidneys are far more complex to make.

tomize our treatment programs for
every individual. This may include
visco-supplementation to lubricate
the joint, individualized rehabili-
tation to strengthen the muscles
surrounding the injury, or bracing
for stabilization and support.
What Is visco-
supplementation?
Visco-supplementation, also known
as joint therapy, supplements the
knee with a natural occurring sub-
stance called hyaluronic acid that
is often decient in arthritic knees.
This lubricates the knee joint to
reduce friction between the bones
of the knee to provide signicant
pain relief.
Why is individualized reha-
bilitation Important?
The muscles surrounding the
injury can become weak and stiff
making it difficult to do everyday
tasks. Individualized rehabilita-
tion reduces inflammation and
increases range of motion, flex-
ibility and strength.
Will I feel better right away?
Most patients feel relief in a matter
of weeks and can go back to their
daily activities.
Will insurance cover
the cost?
Yes, most insurance providers and
Medicare will cover treatment upon
approval of your benets.
Are the treatments
successful?
Weve treated thousands of patients
and over 90% have experienced
signicant pain relief and regained
mobility.
How will I know if this
is right for me?
If youre suffering from knee pain,
your rst step is an evaluation with
Dr. Brian Mitchell our Board Certi-
ed Physical Medicine and Rehabili-
tation doctor.
What are patients saying?
I arrived to my rst appointment in a wheelchair because I couldnt bear any weight on my right
leg. The physician and therapists worked together to create a plan specically for me. I quickly
progressed from a wheelchair, to a walker, to a cane, to full weight on my leg. The treatments and
one-on-one rehabilitation gave me my life back. Diana V., Huntington Beach, CA

HAIRCUT (reg.$14)
liver vein blockage in 2011 is still doing well, her surgeon
says.
In some cases the idea has even become standard practice.
Surgeons can use a patients own cells, processed in a lab,
to repair cartilage in the knee. Burn victims are treated with
lab-grown skin.
In 2011, it was Angela Irizarrys turn to wade into the eld
of tissue engineering.
Angela was born in 2007 with a heart that had only one
functional pumping chamber, a potentially lethal condition
that leaves the body short of oxygen. Standard treatment
involves a series of operations, the last of which implants
a blood vessel near the heart to connect a vein to an artery,
which effectively rearranges the organs plumbing.
Yale University surgeons told Angelas parents they could
try to create that conduit with bone marrow cells. It had
already worked for a series of patients in Japan, but Angela
would be the rst participant in an American study.
There was a risk, recalled Angelas mother, Claudia
Irizarry. But she and her husband liked the idea that the
implant would grow along with Angela, so that it wouldnt
have to be replaced later.
So, over 12 hours one day, doctors took bone marrow
from Angela and extracted certain cells, seeded them onto a
5-inch-long biodegradable tube, incubated them for two
hours, and then implanted the graft into Angela to grow
into a blood vessel.
Its been almost two years and Angela is doing well, her
mother says. Before the surgery she couldnt run or play
without getting tired and turning blue from lack of oxygen,
she said. Now, she is able to have a normal play day.
This seed-and-scaffold approach to creating a body part is
not as simple as seeding a lawn. In fact, the researchers in
charge of Angelas study had been putting the lab-made
blood vessels into people for nearly a decade in Japan
before they realized that they were completely wrong in
their understanding of what was happening inside the body.
Wed always assumed we were making blood vessels
from the cells we were seeding onto the graft, said Dr.
Christopher Breuer, now at Nationwide Childrens Hospital
in Columbus, Ohio. But then studies in mice showed that in
fact, the building blocks were cells that migrated in from
other blood vessels. The seeded cells actually died off quick-
l y. We in essence found out we had done the right thing for
the wrong reasons, Breuer said.
Other kinds of implants have also shown that the seeded
cells can act as beacons that summon cells from the recipi-
ents body, said William Wagner, director of the McGowan
Institute for Regenerative Medicine at the University of
Pittsburgh. Sometimes that works out ne, but other times
it can lead to scarring or inammation instead, he said.
Controlling what happens when an engineered implant
interacts with the body is a key challenge, he said.
ORGANS
Schwarz and Trustee Patricia Miljanich
supported former Caada College
leader Tom Mohr while, on the other
hand, trustees Dave Mandelkern and
Richard Holober did not. Although
they did not publicly say the name of
another candidate Monday,
Mandelkern and Holober expressed
support for Genevieve Jopanda, execu-
tive director of SF Hep B Free.
The split vote resulted in a different
approach: interviewing those who
were asked not to appear in person in
hopes of nding someone to break the
deadlock.
Both men said positive things about
Mohr a San Mateo resident who
worked locally in education since
1961 having started as a high school
chemistry and math teacher and most
recently served as the president of
Caada College for six years.
However, they cited a desire to have a
person who was independent of the
district.
The question for me has to do with
the governance structure of this dis-
trict. California has correctly created a
structure where laypersons, and it
could be educators, come before voters
and win or lose. Based on the support
of this audience, Mr. Mohr is on his
way to a victorious campaign this
November, said Holober.
But, when it came to making an
appointment, Holober wanted some-
one who didnt have a history with the
district.
Mandelkern said this was an oppor-
tunity to add diversity not currently
offered on the board.
Schwarz and Miljanich were not
happy with the rationale offered by
their colleagues.
Schwarz said she couldnt believe
the two would welcome working with
Mohr but not take advantage of their
ability to appoint him now.
[The application process] started
out to be very good and its ending up
to be a number one joke. I cant
believe were at this point, said
Schwarz, who added most of the
process had been focused on a candi-
dates knowledge of the district.
Miljanich agreed, adding that no one
would be more qualied than Mohr who
has showcased his dedication to the
district.
Timing is an important part of the
standstill.
Christopher Allen Miller, Joshua
Becker, Natalie Gore, R. Brian Irion
and Victor James will be asked to
attend special meetings held either
Wednesday evening or Thursday morn-
ing. Schwarz will leave for vacation
Friday returning June 29 the dead-
line for the board to make an appoint-
ment. If a decision is not made, the
seat will remain empty until the
November election.
I believe we will be ne if we dont
agree until the voters have a chance to
decide, said Holober.
Miljanich passionately disagreed,
which is why she suggested bringing
in the other candidates in hopes of
nding a candidate at least three could
support.
Meeting times and dates will be
posted after staff is able to connect
with the applicants.

showing little interest serving on a
waste disposal board because it was
not a hot issue.
The jury report also adds that if the
SBWMA majority does opt for a
change, a technical advisory commit-
tee be an added component.
In a written response to the jury
report, Board Vice Chair John
Doughty, who is also the East Palo
Alto community development director,
said the SBWMAappreciates its care-
ful and thoughtful analysis and will
review the report thoroughly before
issuing an answer.
The real question, however, is
whether the individual SBWMA mem-
bers will agree with the jury report to
maintain the status quo or support a
makeover.
Although the task force formed in
February to evaluate the SBWMAs
governance backed the switch, the
agencies votes might not be as easy.
The San Carlos City Council, for
example, in a split 3-2 vote favored a
change but not the one proposed.
The San Carlos City Council
approved an alternative amendment
which adds a code of conduct, changes
the effective date to Jan. 1, 2014 rather
than immediately following the
SBWMAboard vote later this year and
added a technical advisory committee.
The council minority questioned the
need for any change, saying it is well
informed about the SBWMA even if
other cities cant say the same and were
confused by the motivation behind the
recommendation.
It seems like were xing a problem
that doesnt really exist, said
Councilman Ron Collins at the June
10 meeting. I just think its kind of
silly to x something thats not bro-
ken.
The council taking a different route
than proposed leads to questions about
what will happen if other cities also
back that idea instead or submit their
own options.
Task force chair and Redwood City
Councilman Jeff Ira had not read the
report but said he was not surprised by
its conclusion. The recommendation
shouldnt affect the cities votes,
including that of Redwood City,
because the task force has already done
the heavy lifting on analyzing the idea
and each city representative is behind
it, Ira said.
Ira does support adding a code of
conduct and technical advisory com-
mittee once the new board is installed.
Suggested board changes are noth-
ing new to the SBWMA; as far back as
2005, the city of Belmont pushed the
idea that elected ofcials should be
actively involved in naming the exec-
utive director and directing policy
because they, rather than staff, are held
responsible for the authoritys
actions. Former county supervisor and
now state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, also called for the same
change. The proposals did not gain
enough steam but this past December
the Redwood City Council gave it new
life by establishing a blue ribbon task
force to explore the authoritys opera-
tions in light of repeated fee hikes and
the handling of an ex-employees
retaliation claim.
Ira said current provider Recology
requires less hands-on oversight than
previous contractor Allied Waste and
SBWMA could possibly be stream-
lined and reduced. Now that the
provider change is made, Ira said its
time to make some decisions philo-
sophically about where we want to go
as an organization.
The grand jury report also concluded
that the public needs to be better aware
of the authoritys organization and
actions. Rate increases and services
changes were concerning and contro-
versial largely because customers
dont fully understand the SBWMAs
role in picking a waste hauler or how
individual agencies set their own rates,
according to the grand jury.
San Mateo is the only city that pro-
vides itemized bills to customers
detailing other fees like landll clo-
sure and street sweeping. Provider
Recology can do that for other cities if
they ask, the jury report stated.
The SBWMA supports the goal of
improved public awareness of
SBWMA, including its role in setting
rates, Doughty wrote in his response.
Ira also believes the public needs to
have insight into service and that hav-
ing elected ofcials on board is one
way to do so.
The bottom line is however you
shake all the dice out, the ratepayers
are going to pay for it, Ira said.

Parents have rallied around the pro-
gram, which is an option for local par-
ents that continues to draw interest. At
the start, immersion was offered with
one kindergarten class taught by
Elaine Tarango.
Tarango, who was a bit sentimental
thinking back at the rst class, said
she was proud of the students who
stuck with the program. It was new.
They didnt have other native Spanish
speakers to chat with or even older
children who could help with their
studies, she said. Despite that chal-
lenge, students worked hard academi-
cally to be successful, she said.
Another class was added each year
until the program was offered for stu-
dents in kindergarten through fifth
grade. Next year, with growing inter-
est, there will be two classes of
kindergartners. It will also be the rst
time that the incoming class will have
the desired 50/50 split of native
speaking or bilingual Spanish and
English speakers.
Its not just about learning another
language, said Valerio. Cultural
enrichment is a big part of the pro-
gram focus, said Valerio.
In the last year, the programs lan-
guage arts curriculum was overhauled.
In the coming year, Valerio expects to
do the same for math.
Kindergarten classes at McKinley
look similar regardless of the main
language spoken. In Lizette Cuevas
kindergarten class, which is taught
mostly in Spanish, students were
eager to showcase their journals
which featured a variety of writing
assignments in Spanish. When asked
questions, students would listen to
Cueva speak in Spanish then, for the
benet of a reporter who only speaks
English, would respond in English to
explain the task at hand.
Parent Kim Koisvisto moved across
country with her two daughters for the
program at McKinley a move she
said was the right one for her family.
Getting the program off the ground
took lots of time and community
input.
In 2006, interest in the program was
originally studied for both Mandarin
and Spanish. The district allowed par-
ents of current kindergartners and
preschoolers to sign up with their
preference of either language. At the
time, a total of 133 students who
signed up were eligible 56 in
Mandarin, 72 Spanish and two for
either.
Although there was enough interest
to start a program in both languages,
the district didnt have the funds or
space to do so. Only McKinley
Elementary had space to start a pro-
gram. It was later decided to go forward
with a Spanish program at McKinley
with $100,000 set aside to help fund
the startup.
In the spring of 2007, it looked as if
the program would be stalled. Hopes
to start the program were renewed in
June 2007 when the district found a
teacher willing to take on the new
position.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Ann Elizabeth Emerson. aka Ann
Emerson and Ann E. Emmerson
Case Number: 123427
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Ann Elizabeth Emmer-
son, aka Ann Emmerson and Ann E.
Emerson. A Petition for Probate has
been filed by Daniel C. Spitzer in the Su-
perior Court of California, County of San
Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests
that Daniel C. Spitzer be appointed as
personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: July 15, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28,, Room , Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of the
petition, you should appear at the hear-
ing and state your objections or file writ-
ten objections with the court before the
hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

WORLD 28
By Jim Kuhenhenn
ENNISKILLEN, Northern Ireland
Russian President Vladimir
Putin told President Barack Obama
on Monday that their positions on
Syria do not coincide but the
two leaders said during the G-8
summit that they have a shared
interest in stopping the violence
that has ravaged the Middle
Eastern country during a two-year-
old civil war.
Obama acknowledged in a bilat-
eral meeting with Putin in
Northern Ireland that they have a
different perspective on Syria
but he said that both leaders want-
ed to address the erce ghting and
also wanted to secure chemical
weapons in the country. The U.S.
president said both sides would
work to develop talks in Geneva
aimed at ending the countrys
bloody civil war.
We do have differing perspec-
tives on the problem but we share
an interest in reducing the vio-
lence, securing chemical weapons
and ensuring that theyre neither
used nor are they subject to prolif-
eration, Obama said. We want to
try to resolve the issue through
political means if possible.
Putin said of course our opin-
ions do not coincide, but all of us
have the intention to stop the vio-
lence in Syria and to stop the
growth of victims and to solve the
situation peacefully, including by
bringing the parties to the negoti-
ations table in Geneva. We agreed
to push the parties to the negotia-
tions table.
While Putin has called for nego-
tiated peace talks, he has not urged
Syrian President Bashar Assad to
leave power, and he remains one
of Assads strongest political and
military allies. The White House
did not expect any breakthrough
with Putin on Syria during the
gathering of the Group of Eight
Summit at a lakeside golf resort
near Enniskillen and the meeting
further highlighted the rift
between the two countries on how
to address the ghting in the coun-
try.

the G-8 summit at Lough Erne in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland.
ENNISKILLEN, Northern Ireland
The European Union and the
United States will open negotia-
tions next month on a long-
sought deal to create free trade
between the worlds two mightiest
economic regions, an effort
designed to create millions of jobs
that could take years to transform
from dream to reality.
EU and U.S. leaders announced
the plans Monday at the start of
the G-8 summit of wealthy nations
in Northern Ireland.
America and Europe have done
extraordinary things before and I
believe we can forge an economic
alliance as strong as our diplomat-
ic and security alliances, which of
course are the most powerful in
history, U.S. President Barack
Obama declared alongside EU lead-
ers and the British host, Prime
Minister David Cameron.
At stake is a vision of boosting
the value of trans-Atlantic trade in
goods and services that Obama
said already exceeds $1 trillion
annually, as well as $4 trillion
annually in investment in each
others economies.
EU and U.S. ofcials agreed at
the start of the Group of Eight
summit that these already colossal
trade gures could be much higher
if only both sides agreed to dis-
mantle high tariff walls and
bureaucratic hurdles that under-
mine the export of many products.
EU, U.S. agree to start free trade talks at G-8
Unions give lift to Turkish
anti-government protests
ISTANBUL Labor groups
fanned a wave of defiance against
Prime Minister Recep Tayyi p
Erdogans authority on Monday,
leading rallies and a one-day
strike to support activists whose
two-week standoff with the gov-
ernment has shaken Turkeys sec-
ular democracy.
Riot police again deployed in
Turkeys two main cities, and
authorities kept up their unyield-
ing stance against the street
demonstrations. But Mondays
police sweep was less forceful
than in recent days with only
scattered firing of tear gas and
water cannon on pockets of pro-
testers.
After activists were ousted from
their sit-in in Istanbuls Gezi Park
over the weekend, two labor con-
federations that represent some
330,000 workers picked up the
slack Monday by calling a strike
and demonstrations nationwide.
Unionists turned up by the thou-
sands in Ankara, Istanbul, coastal
Izmir and elsewhere.
Bill Clinton: Israel
must make peace to survive
JERUSALEM Former
President Bill Clinton is urgi ng
Israel to make peace with the
Palestinians in order to survive as
a Jewish and democratic state.
His comments add to a chorus of
prominent pro-Israel figures
warning that growing numbers of
Palestinians under Israeli rule will
ultimately force Israel to lose
either its Jewish majority or its
democratic nature.
