Poll shows support for education system, political bias

An overwhelming majority of
Californians support the Common
Core curriculum, according to a
recent poll, but results indicate the
education systems reputation may
be stigmatized by ongoing
national controversy.

More than two-thirds of the

1,000 state voters who participated in the poll favor the use of
Common Core standards, according to a survey conducted by EMC
Research, a national research firm.
But support for the education

system, such as emphasis on critical thinking and analysis, drive

positive responses even higher
when the term Common Core was
removed from poll questions.
Ted Lempert, a member of the
San Mateo County Board of
Education and president of

Children Now, the organization

that released the poll, said he
believed the Common Core term
has suffered a hit to its reputation.
Common Core support is at 67
percent, but all the components
are over 87 percent, so that tells
me about 20 percent of people are

influenced by the word Common

Core in a negative way, he said.
It really shows that the words
Common Core have been damaged
by the national conversation.
According to the report, substantial support for Common Core
standards exists, such as 93 per-

County warns illness possible with contact
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

AUSTIN WALSH/DAILY JOURNAL

Ten beaches and creeks have warning signs posted for elevated
levels of bacteria such as E. coli that can cause illness, according
to the San Mateo County Health System.
The signs are precautionary only and do not prevent individuals from accessing the water although county officials warn that
they risk illness associated with swimming in contaminated
waters.
Four beaches at Pillar Point Harbor on the coast have the warning signs up now as does Linda Mar Beach in Pacifica.
On the Bayside, a warning sign is also posted at Parkside
Aquatic Park on the Marina Lagoon in San Mateo.
Four creeks on the coast where they meet or cross the beach
also having the warning signs up. They are San Pedro Creek in
Pacifica at Linda Mar; Frenchmans and Pilarcitos creeks in Half
Moon Bay; and Pomponio Creek in San Gregario.

A tech solution for hunger Program offers South City

Volunteer program matches food providers with organizations that feed needy
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A local woman is conquering

hunger by harnessing the power of
technology to coordinate a team of
volunteers who connect food
providers with organizations that
serve the underprivileged.
Maria Yap founded Peninsula Food
Runners as a means of delivering
excess food from restaurants, grocery stores and catering companies
to facilities that will serve the hungry throughout San Mateo County.
The organization relies on a webbased application to identify compa-

nies offering to donate food, then

sends a nearby driver to pick up and
deliver the shipment to an organization capable of serving it to the
needy.
The relatively simple concept
directs nearly 200 volunteers, delivering 35,000 pounds of food a week,
to about 60 organizations able to
offer meals to hungry people from
South San Francisco to San Jose.
While volunteering for a nonprofit
company that delivered food in San
Francisco, Yap said she was inspired
to expand the service south of the
city, but realized it could be run in a
more efficient manner.

Why not do it out of the city?

she asked herself. With the technology we have today, there is no reason we cannot do this in the
Peninsula area.
Capitalizing on the excess and
opportunity of Silicon Valley has
been integral to the success of
Peninsula Food Runners, from the
technology engineering to the food
sourcing.
Yap has relied on software designer
Tod Hing to develop a program
which initiates and tracks the roughly 20 pickup and dropoff deliveries

Sudans pyramids, nearly as
grand as Egypts, go unvisited
AL-BEGRAWIYA, Sudan The
small, steep pyramids rising up from
the desert hills of northern Sudan
resemble those in neighboring Egypt,
but unlike the famed pyramids of Giza,
the Sudanese site is largely deserted.
The pyramids at Meroe, some 125
miles north of Sudans capital,
Khartoum, are rarely visited despite
being a UNESCO World Heritage site
like those in Egypt. Sanctions against
the government of longtime President
Omar al-Bashir over Sudans long-running internal conflicts limit its access
to foreign aid and donations, while
also hampering tourism.
The site, known as the Island of
Meroe because an ancient, long-dried
river ran around it, once served as the
principle residence of the rulers of the
Kush kingdom, known as the Black
Pharaohs. Their pyramids, ranging
from 20 feet to 100 feet tall, were built
between 720 and 300 B. C. The
entrances usually face east to greet the
rising sun.
The pyramids bear decorative elements inspired by Pharaonic Egypt,
Greece and Rome, according to
UNESCO, making them priceless
relics. However, overeager archaeologists in the 19th century tore off the
golden tips of some pyramids and

Belmont man dies of stab wounds

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A 19 year old Belmont man was killed

Saturday night, after being stabbed during
an altercation in a parking lot. The incident
is currently under investigation.
On Saturday at approximately 7:30 p.m.,
Belmont police and fire units responded to a
parking lot in the 600 block of Masonic
Way, on a report of a stabbing. Upon
arrival, first responders found a male victim
with multiple stab wounds.
The
victim,
19-year-old
Denis

Meshchyshyn of Belmont, was treated at

the scene by Belmont Fire Department paramedics and transported to an area hospital
where he died from his injuries.
Two friends of the Meshchyshyns, who
were on scene, told investigators that they
had gone to the parking lot to meet him and
when they arrived, found Meshchyshyn
fighting with an unknown suspect.
According to the friends, the suspect ran
off westbound on Masonic Way, toward Old
County Road, when they arrived. They then
saw that Meshchyshyn had been stabbed

and called 911.

The suspect is described as wearing a dark
hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans, the race,
gender and age of the suspect are unknown at
this time.
Investigators do not believe this is a random attack and Meshchyshyn may have
been acquainted with the suspect.
The Belmont police are asking for the
publics help in this investigation and
would like anyone with information on the
incident to call (650) 595-7400 or the
crime tip line at (650) 598-3000.

Officers are asking for the publics help in

locating a male suspect who led officers on
a high-speed chase and allegedly threw several guns out of a car window in and around
Half Moon Bay Saturday afternoon, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Around 1:30 p.m., an officer on patrol on
state Highway 1 near Miramontes Point
Road in Half Moon Bay pulled over a silver
Mercedes SUV because it was missing its
front license plate, CHP Officer Art Montiel
said.
The vehicle yielded to the right but took
off as soon as the officer stepped out of the
cruiser, Montiel said.
The officer chased the car on Highway 1 at
speeds of up to 90 mph and followed the car
as it turned on Verde Road in San Mateo
County, Montiel said.

Corinthian Colleges to shut down all campuses

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA ANA Corinthian

Colleges will shut down all of its
remaining 28 ground campuses,
displacing about 16,000 students,
less than two weeks after the U.S.
Department
of
Education
announced it was fining the forprofit institution $30 million for
misrepresentation.
In a statement Sunday, the Santa
Ana, California-based company
said it was working with other
schools to help students continue
their education. The closures
include Heald College campuses in
California, Hawaii and Oregon, as
well as Everest and WyoTech

schools in California, Arizona and

New York. Corinthian was one of
the countrys largest for-profit
educational institutions. It collapsed last summer amid a cash
shortage and fraud allegations.
The Education Department contends that Corinthian failed to
comply with requests to address
allegations of falsifying job
placement data and altering grades
and attendance records. It agreed to

prospective buyers with a release

from liability.
The company said Sunday it had
been in advanced negotiations
with several parties to sell the
150-year-old college and allow
outside partners to let Everest and
WyoTech students continue their
education but was unsuccessful.
Unfortunately, the current regulatory environment would not
allow us to complete a transaction
with several interested parties that
would have allowed for a seamless
transition for our students,
Corinthian CEO Jack Massimino
said in a statement.
The company also defended its
work, saying its graduation and

sell or close its campuses under

pressure from the department.
Earlier in April, the department
fined subsidiary Heald College,
alleging the school had shown a
pattern of falsifying post-graduation employment data. In one
instance, the companys Honolulu
campus declared a student had
found work in her chosen field of
accounting, even though administrators knew she was working at
Taco Bell, the department said.
Most of the companys former
schools have been sold, and
Corinthian attempted to sell Heald
as well but was blocked by
California attorney
general
Kamala Harris refusal to provide

job placement rates compared

favorably with community colleges and that many of its students hadnt been able to get their
needs met at a traditional higher
education institution.
Neither our board of directors,
our management, our faculty, nor
our students believe these schools
deserved to be forced to close,
Massimino said.
A group of current and former
Corinthian students are petitioning
the Education Department to waive
their federal student debt based on
the alleged misconduct. According
to the companys filings, the
schools generated $1.2 billion
government loans its final year.

Gay mentor, belief in dignity at roots of Kennedys views

By Mark Sherman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO The Irish

Catholic boy who came of age in
Sacramento after World War II is an
unlikely candidate to be the author
of the Supreme Courts major gay
rights rulings.
But those who have known
Justice Anthony Kennedy for
decades and scholars who have
studied his work say he has long
stressed the importance of valuing
people as individuals. And he
seems likely also to have been
influenced in this regard by a pillar of the Sacramento legal community, a closeted gay man who
hired Kennedy as a law school
instructor and testified on his
behalf at his high court confirmation hearings in Washington.

Same-sex marriage
With three major gay rights
opinions to his name already, the
78-year-old Kennedy is the prohibitive favorite to write the
Supreme Court decision in June
that could extend same-sex marriage nationwide.
Kennedys friendship with
Gordon Schaber began in the mid1960s when Schaber recruited the
young lawyer to teach at the
McGeorge School of Law in

Sacramen t o .
Schaber, who
served as the
schools dean
for 34 years,
was in the
process
of
t ran s fo rmi n g
McGeo rg e
from an unacAnthony
credited night
Kennedy
school to a
respected institution that now is a
part of the University of the
Pacific.
Schaber never married and was
widely believed to be gay, according to accounts from a dozen people who worked for him or were
active in Sacramentos political
and legal communities.
Schabers sexual orientation
was general knowledge among the
Sacramento community and the
law school community, said
Glendalee Glee Scully, the longtime director of McGeorges legal
clinic, where students got practical experience by taking on cases
for people who couldnt otherwise
afford a lawyer.
Among those who worked at the
school when Schaber was dean,
not one could recall Schaber discussing his sexual orientation.
Generationally, it was not something gentlemen spoke about,
said McGeorge professor Larry

Levine, himself openly gay.

Scully said, As close as he and
Tony Kennedy were as friends, I
would doubt they ever had a conversation about it. But how cant
it have helped to some degree
Tonys willingness to have an
open mind?
Only nine years older than
Kennedy, Schaber was a mentor to
many of the young lawyers he
brought to the school and looked
after them in ways large and small.
Schaber helped some become
judges. Year after year, Kennedy
reported the same gift from
Schaber on his annual financial
disclosures, $400 worth of shirts.

In 2003, Kennedy again

authored the majority opinion in
Lawrence v. Texas, which struck
down state laws that made gay sex
a crime.
It suffices for us to acknowledge that adults may choose to
enter upon this relationship in the
confines of their homes and their
own private lives and still retain
their dignity as free persons,
Kennedy wrote. When sexuality
finds overt expression in intimate
conduct with another person, the
conduct can be but one element in
a personal bond that is more
enduring.
Ten years later, Kennedys opinion for the court in U. S. v.
Windsor struck down part of the
federal anti-gay marriage law. It
seems fair to conclude that, until
recent years, many citizens had
not even considered the possibility that two persons of the same
sex might aspire to occupy the
same status and dignity as that of a
man and woman in lawful marriage, Kennedy wrote in the
Windsor case.
The decision left for another day
the question of whether states can
keep same-sex couples from marrying. That question is now before
the court, with arguments set for
Tuesday.
So what are the roots of
Kennedys views?

Views on the bench

Kennedy spoke at the dedication
of the Sacramento courthouse in
Schabers memory, but he has
never talked about how Schaber
has influenced his views on the
bench. Kennedy declined to
respond to questions for this
story.
Schaber died in 1997, just shy
of his 70th birthday.
By that time, Kennedy had written his first gay rights ruling on
the Supreme Court, striking down
a Colorado constitutional amendment that prevented local governments from enacting anti-discrimination protections for gays and
lesbians.

Childhood
friend
Joseph
Genshlea said the issue never came
up at Stanford University, where
they attended college together in
the 1950s, or the Sacramento
neighborhood in which both grew
up and later raised their own families.
When we were in college, we
didnt even know there was a closet, Genshlea said. I dont have
an answer to it except that hes a
very bright guy and he certainly
has thought through the issue.
Another longtime friend, former
California Gov. Pete Wilson, said
Kennedy always has evaluated
people as individuals, not as members of a group. Kennedy, he said,
sees everyone based on their merits.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
suggested in an interview last
summer that one reason for
changes in public opinion in
favor of same-sex marriage was
that, as gay Americans became
more comfortable talking about
the topic, people learned that they
had gay friends and relatives,
people you have tremendous
respect for. She was describing
what sociologists call the contact
theory, the idea that the majority
groups interactions with a minority will break down stereotypes
and enhance acceptance of the
minority group.

Iran supporters swat away amendments

By Deb Riechmann
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Senate proponents of a bill empowering

Congress to review and potentially reject any Iran nuclear deal must
first win a battle with some colleagues determined to change the
legislation in ways that could sink
it.
Anybody who monkeys with
this bill is going to run into a buzz
saw, Republican Sen. Lindsey
Graham of South Carolina warned
ahead of this weeks debate.
The high-profile debate comes
as negotiators from the U.S. and
five other nations are rushing to
finalize, by the end of June, an
agreement requiring Iran to curb
its nuclear program in exchange
for relief from sanctions choking
its economy.
Secretary of State John Kerry
and his Iranian counterpart plan to

meet Monday for the first time

since they laid out the framework
for a nuclear deal earlier this
month. The State Department said
Kerry and Irans Foreign Minister
Mohammad Javad Zarif would
meet at the United Nations on the
sidelines of a conference on the
nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
Another member of Congress
trying to discourage any changes
in the bill was Democratic Sen.
Bob Menendez of New Jersey, who
urged senators to stick with the
plan as it emerged from the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee.

Bipartisan support
The bill was approved, 19-0, by
the Senate committee has 62 cosponsors from both parties.
Some lawmakers, however, want
changes that could cost them the
support of President Barack
Obama, who grudgingly backed
the measure, and his fellow

Democrats.
If there is a
final deal with
Iran, Obama can
use his executive authority
to ease some
sanctions on
his own and
Barack Obama work with the
Euro p ean
Union and the United Nations to
lift others. Obama also can waive
sanctions that Congress has
imposed on Iran, but he cannot
formally lift them.
The bill would block Obama
from waiving congressional sanctions for at least 30 days while
lawmakers weigh in.
If 60 senators vote to disapprove of the deal, Obama would
lose his waiver power altogether.
The president is betting he will
not.
If Congress disapproves, the

mourn death of arrested man

BALTIMORE Mourners filed for

hours Sunday past the coffin of the man
who died after sustaining serious injuries
in the custody of Baltimore police,
somberly paying respects after a night of
violent protests.
Throughout Sunday afternoon, a steady
stream of people entered the Vaughn Green
East funeral home for a wake for Freddie
Gray, the 25-year-old black man who died a
week after an encounter with police left him
with grave spinal injuries.
Mourners passed by Grays silk-draped,
white coffin where he lay dressed in a white
shirt, black pants, white sneakers and an

all-white Los Angeles Dodgers baseball

cap.
Above the lid to the coffin was a floral
arrangement and inside the lid was a pillow
with a screen-printed picture of Gray
flanked by doves and the quote, Peace,
Yall at the bottom edge.
Mourners also gathered outside. Some
held up signs that read, We remember
Freddie and Our Hearts Are With The Gray
Family.
Melissa McDonald, 36, who said she was
Grays cousin, wore a shirt with Freddie
Forever printed on the back. She described
her cousin as a nonviolent person.
He didnt deserve to die the way he did,
she said.

One body was discovered after Saturdays

Major Steve Thompson, director of the

More than 100 sailboats and as many as
200 people were participating in the 57th
running of the Dauphin Island regatta in
Mobile Bay when the storm hit Saturday.
Gary Garner, commodore of the Fairhope
Yacht Club which organized the race, said
members are heartbroken.
We are helping and cooperating fully

Thompson called Saturdays events an
awful tragedy.

president will almost respond

with a veto. As long as he can get
more than one-third of the Senate
to side with him, he can prevent
his veto from being overridden.
Backers of the bill are trying to
keep lawmakers focused on how it
would give Congress a say on a
critical national security issue.
They say the measure is not meant
to be about how Iran increasingly
is wielding influence in the Middle
East, its support of terrorist
groups or human rights violations. They worry that adding too
many divisive amendments would
cause Democrats to drop their support.
Even so, some senators are proposing amendments to pressure
Iran to end its support of such
groups, stop threatening to
destroy Israel and recognize its
right to exist, and release U.S. citizens held in Iran.
Other amendments would pre-

vent sanctions relief if Iran cooperates with nuclear-armed North

Korea or until international
nuclear inspectors are guaranteed
access to Iranian military sites.

Final nuclear deal

GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, a
presidential candidate, has an
amendment with Sen. Pat Toomey,
R-Pa., that would require Congress
to sign off on any final nuclear
deal, not just disapprove of it. An
amendment from Sen. Ron
Johnson, R-Wis., would make any
deal a treaty, thus needing to be
ratified by two-thirds of the
Senate.
The president should have to
get 67 votes for a major nuclear
arms agreement with an outlaw
regime, said Sen. Tom Cotton, RArk.
Cotton wants to lower the number of votes needed to reject a deal
from 60 to 51.

Aftershocks terrify Nepal quake survivors

At least 2,500 dead
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KATHMANDU, Nepal Shell-shocked

and sleeping in the streets, tens of thousands of Nepalis braced against terrifying
aftershocks Sunday while digging for survivors of the massive earthquake that
ripped across this Himalayan nation a day
earlier, killing more than 2,500 people.
Acrid, white smoke rose above Nepals
most revered Hindu temple, where dozens of
bodies were being cremated at any given
time.
Aid groups received the first word from
remote mountain villages reports that
suggested many communities perched on
mountainsides were devastated or struggling to cope.
Landslides hindered rescue teams that
tried to use mountain trails to reach those in
need, said Prakash Subedi, chief district
official in the Gorkha region, where the
quake was centered.
Villages like this are routinely affected
by landslides, and its not uncommon for
entire villages of 200, 300, up to 1,000
people to be completely buried by rock
falls, said Matt Darvas, a member of the aid
group World Vision. It will likely be helicopter access only.

Avalanche
Saturdays magnitude 7. 8 earthquake
spread horror from Kathmandu to small villages and to the slopes of Mount Everest,
triggering an avalanche that buried part of
the base camp packed with foreign climbers
preparing to make their summit attempts.
At least 18 people died there and 61 were
injured.
With people fearing more quakes, tens of
thousands spent the day crowding in the
streets and the night sleeping in parks or on
a golf course. Others camped in open

buildings. But outside of the oldest neighborhoods, many in Kathmandu were surprised by how few modern structures collapsed in the quake.
While aid workers cautioned that many
buildings could have sustained serious
structural damage, it was also clear that the
death toll would have been far higher had
more buildings caved in.
Aid workers also warned that the situation
could be far worse near the epicenter. The
U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was
centered near Lamjung, about 50
milesnorthwest of Kathmandu.
In the aftermath, United Nations officials
were concerned about thunderstorms that
could threaten the many people staying outdoors and about a shortage of vaccines that
could invite disease.

Mandarin program good

for North Central, all of San Mateo
By Rod Hsiao

Every weekday morning, I walk my

youngest child to a residential daycare
located in the house originally occupied by one of the rst mayors of San
Mateo. The house is in the North
Central neighborhood of San Mateo
which historically struggled socioeconomically but in recent years has
been on an upswing led by the local
school, College Park Elementary.
The schools Mandarin immersion
magnet program draws many families
from around the district to the school
and many like mine have made North
Central their home. This school is a
turnaround success story which culminated in being named a 2014
California Distinguished School.
But in a few weeks, the San MateoFoster City Elementary School
District Board of Trustees may vote to
move the magnet program from
College Park which may jeopardize
all the hard-earned progress from the
past 10 years. This move would obviously cause upheaval for the 550 students and their families but all San

Mateo resident taxpayers should also

be deeply concerned.
You see, the rate
of poverty in North
Central is more
than double the rate
of San Mateo as a
whole. As a result,
the neighborhood and the immediate
surrounding area consume about 60
percent of all the expenditures for
social services like CalWorks, MediCal, food stamps and general assistance. Based on online databases, the
neighborhood also has a high crime
rate compared to other San Mateo
neighborhoods.
Clearly, we would all like to
decrease these tax-funded services.
Good schools can prepare students to
successfully graduate high school and
be college- and career-ready. If you
agree that quality education is one of
the best ways to break the poverty
cycle, then we need to keep well-functioning schools where they can do the
most good rather than move the mag-

net program clear across town.

Moving the program and restarting a
large neighborhood school at College
Park would be a risky undertaking
given the high concentration of lowincome, English-language learners in
the neighborhood.
Fortunately, city residents can
weigh in and support a more sensible
option. The district has outlined an
alternative where it would keep the
Mandarin program at College Park
and build a smaller 250-student
school on an adjacent lot. This would
give families another local school
choice and help alleviate the need to
bus kids to other schools.
Support keeping the Mandarin program at College Park and building a
small school to provide more educational opportunity and equity to local
families. You can voice your support
to the district at this email:
nextsteps@smfcsd.net.

Central San Mateo and parent of a

Some
almond
criticism
is nutty
Oroville Mercury-Register

Were headed for another dry summer, the third signicant drought that people over the age of 40 have lived
through, so you know the drill: nd a scapegoat.
Somebody or something must be blamed by the masses
for the water shortage. Mother Nature just wont work as a
scapegoat. Shes
too nebulous.
Past boogeymen
have included golf
courses in Palm Springs, swimming pools in Southern
California and little sh in the delta.
This year, the target of vitriol has been the almond
and by extension, the almond farmer.
That has local folks just a bit on edge, because almonds
are the third-biggest crop in Butte County and the secondlargest in Glenn County.
California produces about four-fths of the worlds
almonds, about 2 billion pounds annually. They are grown
from the top of the Great Central Valley (Tehama County)
to the bottom (Kern County).
Now that theres a drought, some news agencies seem to
have just discovered that growing food takes a lot of
water. Mother Jones has particularly been on the almond
persecution kick, with headlines like Your Almond Habit
Is Sucking California Dry and It Takes How Much Water
to Grow an Almond?!
Most commentaries critical of the almond note that it
takes one gallon of water to produce a single nut, and
based on that alone, almond farming is worthy of scorn.
Most of the critics, however, fail to differentiate between
regions, and thus water availability.
A little history: The Sacramento Valley was always the
top almond-growing region in the state for two reasons
the availability of water and a dry Mediterranean climate.
Farmers in other areas were hesitant to plant orchards. Its
a big investment, and in a dry winter the orchard could die
off.
That all changed with the completion of the Central
Valley Project and the ability to move water south of the
delta at cheap prices. Now the top ve almond-producing
counties in the state are all south of the delta. That makes
little sense because, as weve seen recently, the only reliable water supply is north of the delta.
Wed like to think that when the Los Angeles Times
writes a story about almonds with the headline Drought
Villains? or when National Public Radio calls almond
farmers a rogues gallery of water users, theyre talking
about decisions made in the San Joaquin Valley, not the
Sacramento Valley. Indeed, Mother Jones seems more
upset about what it calls hedge fund almonds than
almonds in general.
Almond planting in the state has expanded by twothirds in the past decade, mostly in the San Joaquin
Valley, where global corporations and hedge funds are
investing because theres a darn good prot.
Farms are different up here. Many of the 38,000 acres
planted in Butte County are run by family farmers, ve to
50 acres at a time.
And while almond production has doubled in arid counties like Kern, Fresno and Madera in the past decade,
almond cultivation in Butte County in pounds has stayed
roughly the same.
As for that one gallon per nut statistic that is being
thrown out, perspective is in order. A person in Southern
California can ll his or her swimming pool with 15,000
nuts. Which is the better use of water?
A golf course in the Coachella Valley can use a million
gallons a day, and there are 123 courses in that resort area.
Thats 123 million almonds a day. Which is the better use
of water? It depends on whether you like to golf, or
whether you like to eat.
It takes a lot of water to grow alfalfa and hay, too (thats
why its grown in places like Siskiyou County, not
Bakerseld). The result is that, according to the Los
Angeles Times, a hamburger requires 660 gallons of water.
One hamburger, or 660 almonds which is the better use
of water?
Its hard to keep things in perspective when water is
tight, but we should at least try.

One exposure to show changing Earth

By Bob Salsberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AMHERST, Mass. If a picture

is worth a thousand words, then
Jonathon Keats figures a picture
can also span a thousand years.
Keats, a San Francisco writer
and self-described experimental
philosopher and conceptual artist,
has designed a millennium camera that he intends to mount in a
churchless steeple on a college
campus and chronicle climate
change by taking a 1,000-year
exposure
of
a
western
Massachusetts mountain range.

Far-fetched
If it seems far-fetched, consider
that some of Keats previous
endeavors include selling tracts of
real estate in the theoretical extra
dimensions of space-time; opening a photosynthetic restaurant
that serves gourmet sunlight to
plants; choreographing honeybees; copyrighting his own mind
to give his intellectual property
a 70-year post-life extension;
and, controversially, joining in a
bid to genetically engineer God.
Even at his quirkiest, Keats
notes he always has a serious message to deliver, and in the case of
the millennium camera a cylindrical device small and light

enough to hold
in one hand but
h o p eful l y
durable enough
to survive the
centuries

its encouraging people to

think beyond
own
Jonathon Keats their
human lifespan to what geologists call deep
time, the lengthy periods in which
the world changes on a grand
scale.
We need to find a way to think
in deep time if we are to responsibly make use of the technologies
we have, he says. So the camera
is intended, in a sense, as a mental
prosthesis, as a way of creating
some sort of a feedback loop in
deep time, where setting up the
camera now, looking out into the
far future, allows for people who
are alive in the far future to see the
decisions we made through the
effect that they had.
But will it work?
Even Keats cant say for sure.
Nor is he certain humans will be
around in 3015. Nor, assuming
they are, that someone will know
to retrieve the camera and open it.
A thousand years is, after all, a
long time. In 1015, the Norman
conquest of England was still more
than 50 years away, the first cru-

sade was more than 80 years away,

and Columbus would not reach the
New World for another 477 years.
The camera, Keats explains, is
very simple, so simple that nothing mechanically should fail.
Which of course is the wrong
thing to say, because then it will,
he quickly adds.
It begins as the old science fair
standby, the pinhole camera,
which allows light to enter
through a tiny aperture. But since
pinhole cameras arent designed
to last a thousand years, Keats
made his of copper because of its
resistance to corrosion. The pinhole he pierced through a rugged
24-karat gold plate.
To capture the exposure, Keats
adapted a Renaissance art technique by using rose madder, a sturdy, organic-based oil paint,
applied directly to the copper in
the back of the camera. Digital
photography was impractical, and
he ruled out using film because it
would deteriorate too quickly and
besides, theres always the chance
by 3015 that society will revert to
another dark age, without photochemical processing skills.
All you have to do is open up
the camera and youll see the
image, Keats says.
That image will be of the
Holyoke Range, a modest but picturesque mountain chain that sci-

entists believe has existed for 200

million years. What a denizen of
the 31st century would see is not a
before-and-after image, not what
today we might call time-lapse
photography, but rather one picture depicting a millennium of
change.
For example, if the now heavily
forested area were to gradually turn
to grasslands, the trees, Keats predicts, will linger on the photograph as ghostly reminders of a
prior period, set against the bolder outline of the more recent landscape.
So what youre getting in a
sense is ... a movie of the full period, of the full thousand years, but
all compressed into a single
frame, he says.

Amherst College
Stearns Steeple at bucolic
Amherst College, where Keats
studied philosophy in the 1990s,
will serve as the cameras tripod of
sorts. Once part of Stearns
Church, the Gothic Revival
steeple was retained as a freestanding structure after the church was
demolished in 1949. Keats hopes
such resiliency bodes well for its
long-term survival.
The camera is currently on display steps away from the steeple
at the schools Mead Art Museum,

where it has generated a mix of

interest and skepticism from visitors, according to the museums
curator, Vanja Malloy.
It might seem silly, and people
might say, Whats the point of a
camera with an exposure youll
never see in your lifetime, whats
the point of any of it? Malloy
says. But the fact that it is
provocative in that way is whats
so powerful about it.

Historys longest exposure

Later this spring, Keats will
ascend a harrowing set of wooden
stairs inside the dusty steeple,
position the camera and open its
shutter, beginning what he
believes will be historys longest
exposure. He hasnt sought a
patent for the device, which he
estimates costs about $100 in raw
materials to build, saying he
wants others to copy it and place
their own millennium cameras
strategically around the world.
Im well overstating the case
for these cameras, he concedes. I
realize (it) may seem like a
supreme act of egotism. Its probably also an extreme act of
naivety on my part. But I think
you just have to give it a try.
And yes, the museum does plan
to exhibit the photograph in
3015.

Internet billionaires face off in renewed space race

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VAN HORN, Texas An isolated edge of vast West Texas is home

to a highly secretive part of the
21st-century space race, one of
two being directed in the Lone Star
State by Internet billionaires
whose personalities and corporate
strategies seem worlds apart.
The presence of Blue Origin,
LLC, the brainchild of Amazon
founder Jeff Bezos, barely registers in nearby Van Horn, a way station along Interstate 10, a full
decade after he began buying land
in one of Texas largest and most
remote counties.

Few visitors are allowed beyond

the No Trespassing sign and a
remote-controlled gate and into
the desert and mountain environment reminiscent of the Air
Forces renowned Area 51 in
Nevada. The privileged who do get
inside decline to describe what
theyve seen, typically citing
confidentiality agreements.
No one gets in other than
employees,
says
Robert
Morales, editor of the weekly Van
Horn Advocate newspaper.
At the opposite end of Texas
and the competition is the
highly visible SpaceX venture,

tric car maker Elon Musk. His

company contracts with NASA to
resupply the International Space
Station and is building a launch
site about 600 miles from Van
Horn, on the southernmost Texas
Gulf coast, with the much-publicized goal of sending humans to
Mars.
SpaceX and Blue Origin are
among several U. S. companies
engaged in the private space business.
Both men have seemingly
unlimited resources Bezos
wealth is estimated at nearly $35
billion, Musks at $12 billion
and lofty aspirations: launching a

new era of commercial space operations, in part by cutting costs

through reusable rockets.
Texas glory days of space
exploration, when Right Stuff
Mercury astronauts trained in
Houston and the citys name was
the first word spoken on the moon
by Neil Armstrong, are long gone.
The utilitarian Space Shuttle fell
to budget cuts, depletion and age,
leaving astronauts to hitch rides
on Russian rockets.
Any success by the newcomers
would offer significant potential
for re-invigorating space research
and development in the state,
said John Junkins, director of the

Center for Mechanics and Control

at Texas A&Ms Department of
Aerospace Engineering.
Earlier this month, Bezos
announced his companys new
hydrogen rocket engine, designed
for suborbital missions, had completed hundreds of tests at the West
Texas site, adding, soon well put
it to the ultimate test of flight.
That could come late this year.
A more powerful engine for
orbital flights, fueled by liquid
oxygen and liquid natural gas, is
being developed with United
Launch Alliance, a venture of aerospace veterans Boeing Co. and
Lockheed Martin Corp.

Starbucks reopens after computer glitch

SEATTLE Starbucks was back in

business Saturday after a computer outage forced thousands of its stores to
close early the night before.
The company said the outage was

U.S. and 1,000 in Canada, and prompted some stores to give away drinks.

As falter as Clippard collapses in 9th Giants-Rox

By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Evan Gattis hit a two-run

double in the ninth inning and the AL Westleading Houston Astros completed their
first sweep of the Oakland Athletics with a
7-6 win Sunday.
Gattis matched a career high with four
RBIs. His go-ahead double with one out
came after the As intentionally walked Jed
Lowrie to load the bases.
Gattis lined a 1-2 pitch from Tyler Clippard
(0-2) to the deepest part of the field at O.co
Coliseum, and center fielder Sam Fuld stumbled while chasing the ball in the air.
Jose Altuve extended his hitting streak
against the As to 29 games. Altuve and Jake
Marisnick, who homered earlier, scored on
Gattis deciding hit.
Brett Lawrie drove in three runs for Oakland,
which dropped three to Houston and has lost a
season-high four straight overall.
Tony Sipp (2-0) retired four batters for the
win. Former As reliever Luke Gregerson
pitched the ninth for his fourth save.
Oakland had taken a 6-5 lead on Marcus
Semiens single in the seventh.

SCOTS
Continued from page 11
Scots a 2-0 lead.
We had a week off, but all of our minds
were still very focused on baseball,
Pleschner said. We never take a day off.
Were always working hard, working to be
our best and looking to win games no matter
what. Coming out and swinging the bats
being aggressive is what we like to do.
Luckily we were able to put some runs together early.
Carlmont added to its lead in the second.
Ryan Callahan opened the frame with a single to left. Alex Smith then blooped a single
to right on a well-executed hit-and-run to put
runners at first and second. Mike McGill followed with a sacrifice bunt to move both runners into scoring position. A wild pitch
allowed Callahan to score. Then a perfectly
executed suicide squeeze by Julian Billot
drove home Smith, giving the Scots a 4-0
advantage.
Though Smith got such a great jump on the
squeeze play, he probably would have stolen
home if Billot missed the bunt.
I was thinking, worst case, he doesnt get
[the bunt] down, just slide and be safe anyways, Smith said.

As manager Bob Melvin was ejected in the

top of the fourth by plate umpire Quinn
Wolcott, who also ejected Melvin from a game
last June. Melvin was in the dugout when he
was tossed after a pitch thrown by starter Drew
Pomeranz to Jason Castro was called a ball.
Castro eventually walked and scored on
Marisnicks second home run of the season,
putting the Astros up 5-2.
The As, who scored only seven runs in their
previous three games, seemed to get a spark
from their managers ejection.
Oakland tied it with four hits off Houston
starter Asher Wojciechowski in the bottom of
the frame. Lawrie had a two-run single and
Craig Gentry who went into the game batting .040 also drove in a run.
Wojciechowski lasted just four innings in
his third career start. He allowed five hits and
five runs with two walks and four strikeouts.
Kendall Graveman was optioned to the
minors after struggling in his first three
starts. Jesse Chavez will take Gravemans
spot in the rotation. ... Closer Sean Doolittle
(strained rotator cuff) threw 20 pitches off flat
ground prior to the game. ... OF Coco Crisp
(elbow surgery) could begin taking batting
practice by the end of next week.
For a Scots offense hitting .272 as a team
this season, executing the little things has
loomed large, according to Pleschner.
We really just like to play a west-coast
style baseball get em on, get em over,
get em in, Pleschner said. I think thats
really important with us because we do have a
lot of availability with every guy. And I
think every guy produces and does their job.
The philosophy carries over to defense as
well. Pleschner is a fourth-year varsity player who has come into his own since debuting
as a 5-9, 120-pound freshman. Now 6-foot,
175 pounds, the San Jose State-bound shortstop is the centerpiece of a fluid Carlmont
infield.
Stewart benefitted from nine infield
groundouts over his five innings of work,
capped by a tailor-made double play in the
fifth.
Most of our practices are defensive based
and thats what we really like to focus on,
Pleschner said. Defense wins ballgames. We
dont like to give up free 90s. And we work
together. Weve got 13 seniors this year and
weve all played together, we all know each
others tendencies. So we gel together
very well defensively.
Carlmont fed off the defensive momentum
and added an insurance run in the bottom of
the fifth. Pleschner opened the frame with a
long double to center. Albaum followed with
a single to left to drive home Pleschner, giv-

Pleschner, Albaum and Callahan had two

Callahan has been a luxury for Carlmont
behind the plate with the loss of junior backstop Connor Loucks. Loucks departed the

ailment was finally diagnosed as a broken

You tip your cap to that guy, Vallero
said. He played through it for about three
weeks. He taped it up. The kids a warrior. He
gets after it.
Callahan has made a seamless transition
behind the plate though, handling an array of
talented Scots arms. Carlmont used senior
right-hander Joe Pratt for an inning Saturday
before sophomore right-hander Matt Reilly
closed it out; Callahan, with the exception of
a fourth-inning passed ball that allowed the
only Scotts Valley run to score, was flawless.
Were blessed, Vallero said. I feel like,
as a public school, we have two guys that
can get it done, and we can run [Callahan]
out there on any given day and not really
miss a beat.
Carlmont resumes PAL Bay Division play
Wednesday at Menlo School. After a twogame series with the Knights, the Scots conclude their regular-season schedule with a
two-game set against third-place Terra Nova.

DENVER The San Francisco Giants didnt have to wait for this game to be called.
Getting out of town was another matter.
Hey, planes arent easy to line up on a
moments notice.
The afternoon game between the Giants
and Colorado Rockies on Sunday was postponed by rain. A makeup date has yet to be
determined. The Giants return to Denver
May 22-24 for a three-game series.
The more pressing concern for Giants manager
Bruce Bochy was figuring
out his starting rotation

Angeles against the
Dodgers. For now, the
tentative plan is to start
Tim
Tim Lincecum right-hander
Lincecum on Monday,
but Bochy reserves the right to change his
mind after consulting with his coaches on
the flight out of town.
Sure, we would have liked to have gotten
this one in, Bochy said. Doubleheaders
put more pressure on your pitching staff. We
are in a stretch now where we dont get much
time off.
Right-hander Bill Swifts arm was all
warmed up and ready to throw out the ceremonial first pitch Sunday a pitch he
never got the chance to deliver.
The weather ruined the return of Swift,
Larry Walker, Dante Bichette and the rest of
the 1995 team who showed up to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Coors Fields
opening.
On April 26, 1995, Swift christened the
new park with a sinker to New York Mets
outfielder Brett Butler, who began the game
with a single. This time, Swift was going
with a straight fastball, just hoping to
deliver a strike.
It wouldve been fun to throw out the first
pitch, said Swift, whos now the baseball
coach at Arizona Christian University in
Phoenix.

Matt Cain is still set to play catch
Tuesday, the next step in his rehabilitation

PGA brief
Mickelson withdraws from
Match Play Championship
SAN FRANCISCO Phil Mickelson has
withdrawn
from the Match
Play
Championship because of personal reasons.
Mickelson did not
elaborate in a short statement Sunday released by
the PGA Tour. Mickelson
says he is happy with the
new format and he likes
Harding Park as a venue
for the 64-man field. He
said only that it was
unfortunate he would not
Phil Mickelson be able to play this year.
He was replaced by Finlands Mikko Ilonen.
Mickelson has not played since his runner-up finish at the Masters. He has skipped
the Match Play in recent years when it was
at Dove Mountain in Arizona, and when the
Match Play was a single-elimination format. It now will be round robin with 16 fourman groups, meaning each player is guaranteed at least three matches.

holes to play until making back-to-back
bogeys, and then failing to make a birdie on
the 18th.
The par-5 closing hole could not be
reached in two, so it effectively came down
to a wedge and a putt.
I just couldnt convert the putts, Pressel
said. It all comes down to putting. She
birdied it twice and I didnt.
Ko opened with two straight bogeys and
fell as many as four shots behind. She also
chopped up the 16th hole with a poor tee
shot and an approach that went well long,
leading to a bogey. But the Korean-born
Kiwi was spared by sloppy play all around
her over the final hour on a crisp afternoon.
Henderson, trying to become the third
player in history to win on the LPGA Tour
before turning 18, was shaky from the start.
She hit her opening tee shot to the right
behind trees and had to punch out to the fairway, leading to bogey. She came up well

short on the par-3 third

and made another bogey,
and fell out of the lead for
the first time since Friday
morning.
The Canadian never
caught up, though she
was never out of it until
missing her 25-foot
Morgan Pressel birdie attempt on the
18th.
It was one of the least
nervous putts I had all
day, Henderson said. I
could see it going in in
my mind, but it didnt
happen in real life.
She headed for Texas to
try to Monday qualify for
the next LPGA event.

Klitschko defeats Jennings by unanimous decision

By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The champ returned to the

Garden, and it sounded and felt like Kiev.
Ukraines Wladimir Klitschko easily outpointed a game-but-outclassed Bryant
Jennings in the champions first fight in
the United States in seven years, defending
his heavyweight titles with a unanimous
decision Saturday night.
Klitschkos last U.S. fight was right here
on Feb. 23, 2008, when he easily won over
Sultan Ibragimov. This was his fourth
Garden bout, and it seemed both comfortable and familiar.
It is great to come back to Madison
Square Garden, to be home here and fight
here, Klitschko said. I look forward to
coming back to fighting here, a great crowd
and a great atmosphere.
Although not at his dominant best,
Klitschko was in control from the outset in
his 18th straight successful defense. His jab
and straight right hands kept Jennings from
getting inside, and the unbeaten American
had little chance of winning from distance.
The overwhelmingly pro-Klitschko
crowd of 17,056 roared loudly with every
thundering punch by the champ. They
chanted Ukrainian slogans when he entered
the arena and when the decision was
announced: 116-111 on two cards, 118-109
on another.
The AP had it 118-109.
Yet, with Jennings still standing in the
middle rounds and beginning to land some
punches, the Americans in the crowd began
shouting U-S-A! U-S-A! But the
Philadelphian never really had a chance and
was outpunched 545-376, with 144 landing
for Klitschko, 110 for the challenger.
Jennings would have beaten a lot of
heavyweights in the division, Klitschko
said. Hes a tough competitor.
Klitschko is 64-3 and has held a heavy-

Wladimir Klitschko was on task through 12 rounds in his first fight in the U.S. in seven years.
weight belt for nearly a decade. Jennings is
19-1.
Klitschko has won 21 straight bouts, and
tied Joe Louis with 27 total heavyweight
championship fights. He is 25-2 in those,
while Louis was 26-1.
The low point for the 39-year-old
Klitschko came in the 10th round, when he
was penalized a point for holding. Jennings
complained before the fight about that tactic, and referee Mike Griffin paid attention.
Every time I started working, he held
me, Jennings said. When he was holding
I was hitting him to the body. I must have
hit him with about 100 body shots, not that
much to the head, though.
I felt the margin should have been much
closer.
It wasnt in large part because Klitschko
started well, keeping Jennings so off-balance that the challenger often lost any technique and threw some wild prayers. None of
those came close to being answered.

Klitschko won all but the ninth and 10th

rounds on judge Max DeLucas card and
the 10th was when he had the point deducted. Robin Taylor gave Jennings the third,
sixth and seventh. Steve Weisfeld saw the
third, sixth and ninth in Jennings favor.
The champions main weapons were his
jab and straight right. Indeed, he landed
more than 80 jabs and rocked Jennings with
a terrific right-left combination in the
fourth.
Undeterred, Jennings defiantly shouted at
Klitschko in the fifth, as if challenging
Klitschko to hit harder and more often.
It didnt feel like it looked, Jennings
said. Every time he went for something
big, I maneuvered.
Not enough, clearly.
The loss shouldnt deter Jennings all that
much his promoter, Gary Shaw, said:
His stock rose. He made a lot of new fans
for sure and the other fighters out there now
know theres another heavyweight.

A-Rod hits 659th homer
NEW YORK Alex Rodriguez
has hit his 659th home run, putting him one behind Willie Mays
for fourth place on the career list.
The three-time MVP connected
off Mets left-hander Jonathon

SALEM
Continued from page 11
a swift victory over Alaura Couch
to advance to the finals. In the
afternoons main event, Salem
took on Diona Freitas, though the
match did not start well for Salem.
At the outset of the title match,
Salem sprained her right ankle,
causing a two-minute stoppage
while she had the ankle wrapped.
It was weird, Salem said. We
were wrestling and I just heard this
ginormous pop. There was a pain
in my right ankle but then the trainer came and we got it all fixed up.
When the match resumed, Salem
scored a pair of two-point, doubleleg takedowns. Then she turned
Freitas for the pin.
She was a good sport throughout the whole injury so we walked
off together, Salem said. She
just told me that I was strong.
Up next for Salem is the USA
Freestyle and Greco National
Championships, scheduled for the
July 19-26 at the Fargo Dome in
Fargo, North Dakota. It is the first
time in Matteuccis 16 years as
South Citys coach he has had a
wrestler win a state championship.

Furious 7 holds on to box office

By Jake Coyle

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ey, have you seen our commercial

on television? You know, the one
that shows the dog with super sad
eyes looking directly at the camera from
behind the cold metal caging and the sad
song from that famous singer playing in
the background? NO! Thats not our commercial. That commercial is from the
ASPCA, but something tells me they really
dont mind if you local residents
think their commercial is all about providing funds which are going to help animals
here in San Mateo County. Its not not
in any way! Please excuse my yelling.
Its just that for years, local residents have
assumed donations made to that organization (which happens to be based in New
York a small detail left out of the commercial) help animals here. Equally maddening, many local residents are under the
false impression that donations made to
the Humane Society of the United States
(HSUS), a national animal welfare organization which pays for sad puppy eyes
television ads and mails fundraising
appeals to your home, must trickle down
and help all the local chapters. Those ads
and fundraising appeals are successful
beyond your wildest imagination. That
national group is among the richest, bestfunded nonprots in the country. Were not
a chapter of that group and we dont receive
a penny from them. Were not tied to any
groups, nationally or even statewide.
Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA is an
independent, private nonprot. If you are
now wondering where you sent your donation, please give us a call. It will take us a
minute to research this for you and let you
know if youve made recent donations to
Peninsula Humane Society, your local animal shelter and the only organization
which provides a safe haven for local
strays and unwanted animals, and then

NEW YORK Furious 7 enjoyed a victory lap over the weekend, becoming only
the third lm ever to make $1 billion internationally and leading the domestic box
ofce for the fourth straight week. But the
movie thats poised to topple the Universal
juggernaut, Marvels The Avengers: Age of
Ultron, revved up overseas with a massive
$201.2 million debut.
In North American theaters, Furious 7
had enough left in the tank to top all lms
with an estimated $18.3 million, according
to studio estimates Sunday. While the lm
has been a huge domestic hit, its been even
bigger abroad particularly in China,
where its set a record with $323 million.
Furious 7, a lm whose fate was once in
doubt after the death of star Paul Walker midway through shooting, has now made $1.3
billion globally. Only two other lms, both
by James Cameron Avatar and Titanic
have made more money internationally
than Furious 7.
Furious 7 has had little competition to
challenge it throughout April. This weekend, the only new wide release was the Blake
Lively fantasy romance The Age of
Adaline. The Lionsgate and Lakeshore
Entertainment release came in third with

1.Furious 7, $18.3 million.

2.Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, $15.5 million.
3.The Age of Adaline, $13.4 million.
4.Home, $8.3 million.
5.Unfriended, $6.2 million.
6.Ex Machina, $5.4 million.
7.The Longest Ride, $4.4 million.
8.Get Hard, $3.9 million.
9.Monkey Kingdom, $3.5 million.
10.Woman in Gold, $3.5 million.
$13.4 million. The Sony comedy Paul
Blart: Mall Cop 2 held up stronger than
expected to take second place with $15.5
million in its second week.
But the reign of Furious
7 is effectively over now
that the highly anticipated
Avengers sequel is on the
way. Though it doesnt open
in North America until
Thursday night, it debuted
in 44 countries and territories this weekend. That represents about half of its
international rollout.
Disney said the lm is
exceeding the pace of
2012s The Avengers by

Elvis Presleys planes

to remain at Graceland
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEMPHIS, Tenn. It looks like

Elvis Presleys airplanes are staying at Graceland after all.
Graceland released a statement
Sunday saying the Lisa Marie and
the Hound Dog II, two customdesigned airplanes once owned by
Presley, will remain permanently at
the Memphis tourist attraction centered on the life and career of the
late singer.
The announcement ends confusion about the future of the planes,
once used by the King for travel to
performances after he bought them
in the 1970s.
The larger plane, a Convair 880
named after Presleys daughter Lisa
Marie, is like a customized flying
limousine, complete with a large
bed, a stereo system, conference

room and gold-plated bathroom fixtures.

It was renovated after Presley
bought it from Delta Air Lines.
Presley took his first flight on it in
November 1975.
When Presley died on Aug. 16,
1977, Presleys pilot flew the Lisa
Marie to California to pick up
Presleys ex-wife, Priscilla Presley,
to bring her back to Memphis.
The smaller jet, a JetStar named
the Hound Dog II, was also used by
Presley.
The planes were sold after
Presleys death, and they were eventually purchased by a company
called OKC Partnership.
OKC Partnership and Graceland
agreed to park the planes at
Graceland in the mid-1980s, and
tours of their opulent interiors
became popular with visitors.

44 percent in the places it has opened. Joss

Whedons rst installment of the super
team-up franchise, starring Robert Downey
Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson and
many others, made $1.5 billion worldwide,
good for third all-time.
With two enormous blockbusters covering much of the globe, the summer movie
season is ready to ofcially begin next
weekend. In the meantime, a few smaller
lms carved out more limited releases.
Russell Crowes directorial debut, The
Water Diviner, opened in 320 locations
with $1.3 million. The critically acclaimed
indie science-ction drama Ex Machina
expanded to 1,255 screens in its second
week of release and earned $5.4 million.

between the schools.
We are thrilled to be partnering
with the South San Francisco Unified
School District on the Middle College
at Skyline College campus, said
Sarah Perkins, the schools vice president of instruction.
Students who complete the middle
college program can collect credits
working toward an associate of arts
degree, as well as an eventual automatic transfer to the states university system, through an agreement with the
community college system.
Perkins expressed enthusiasm for
the opportunities the program will
afford local students.
The Middle College offers high
school students an amazing opportunity to not only complete high school
but earn college credit at the same
time, ultimately saving a lot of money
and helping them work toward accomplishing their educational goals for

high school and college faster, she

said.
Judy Bush, president of the South
San Francisco school district board,
echoed those sentiments.
This is a wonderful opportunity,
she said. Anything we can do to give
our students additional resources and
pathways that will help them reach
their dreams and goals, we are all for
it.
The district will work with Skyline
to select the first 50 students to be a
part of the inaugural class of the program, said trustee Patrick Lucy.
Lucy said the program is intended for
students who may struggle in a traditional classroom setting, and need a
more creative learning environment to
stimulate their passion for education.
This will open up doors for a lot of
youth in our district, he said. The
best part about it is what opportunities
will be made for our students.
The program will serve juniors interested in starting college early, who
have a grade point average of at least
2.0 and are on track for graduation, but
may not be thriving in their classes
because they are not adequately chal-

lenged, among other criteria.

Students in the program will attend
four high school classes in the afternoon during the week, and then take
college courses in the morning,
evening or weekends.
The program will also offer career
technical education courses which
train students in career focused programs such as becoming an emergency
medical technician, paralegal assistant, solar technology technician, a
computer information specialist,
among other positions.
Those enlisted in the middle college
program will also benefit from the
variety of students services available
at Skyline, such as tutoring, academic
advising, the college library and many
more services.
Lucy praised the community college
for assisting in developing the program. Bush said the program is an
prime example of the creative ways
that district leadership can work with
neighboring agencies to best serve its
students.
Its very collaborative, and its
going to be awesome for our students,
she said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES California is sending a team of 57

urban search and rescue workers to Nepal to find people
buried under rubble after Saturdays massive earthquake.
Officials say the team left Los Angeles Sunday afternoon
and is expected to arrive in Kathmandu on Monday.
Governments and aid agencies are rushing aid workers to
Nepal as access to the Himalayan nation eases up. Theyre
hoping to get to the scene of the quake as quickly as possible to find those still alive.
The California Governors Office of Emergency Services
says the search-and-rescue team, which is based in Los
Angeles County, will bring six search dogs and an array of
tools, including heavy concrete cutting equipment, generators, search cameras and sonar to locate victims.

cent of participants saying that promoting critical thinking and problem
solving needed in a competitive job
market is necessary and 88 percent
support emphasizing the importance
of students describing how to problem
solve.
Lempert said the politicization of
Common Core, which is a set of academic standards for math and English
that places greater emphasis on analysis than the previous system, has
caused some to harbor unfavorable
opinions of the education system.
Since the system rolled out in 2010,
it has been a target of some conservative politicians who do not agree with
its standards, or the way it has been
implemented. More recently, the
opposition has increased, while some
students in New York have refused to
take the tests.

happening every day.
And tech culture, which features regularly catered meals served to relatively small companies, frequently leaves
excess food that can be donated to
shelters, said Yap.
There is so much food out there,
she said. And its really good catered
food from top caterers every day of the
week.
Yap said nearly 30 percent of the
food delivered by the organization is
catered, which is appreciated by those
who eat at a shelter and can enjoy a
variety of quality food.
Contributors include markets such as
Trader Joes, Whole Foods and Milk
Pail, along with companies such as
Wal-Mart,
AdapTV,
Genentech,
Fenwick & West law firm and caterers
such as Guckenheimer Catering and
GetQuick, among many more.

media, said Lempert. Theres been a

lot of anti and negative Common Core
coverage in the national media ...
which is unfortunate that its gotten so
politicized.
Lempert said some of the opposition
in California comes from people who
are not intimately familiar with
Common Core, which is indicated in
the poll results showing a disconnect
in popularity of standards and the test
brand.
Nancy Magee, spokeswoman for the
San Mateo County Office of Education,
touted in an email the success
Common Core has enjoyed locally.
The results of the poll showing
high numbers of voters favoring
Common Core state standards is reflective to some degree of how California
has been more effective than other
states in the rollout, she said.
She said she hopes residents
acknowledge the value of the standards, regardless of the conversation
that takes place surrounding the reputation of Common Core.
Beneath all the political furor, it
seems Californians might recognize

that these standards establish high

expectations for all our kids, she
said.
Lempert agreed, and said students
locally have enjoyed a relatively
seamless rollout of the system, which
rely heavily on technology, and that
has boosted support.
San Mateo County has been seen as
a model nationally, he said. I think
our schools are more prepared than
others, even though some are not as
prepared as they would like to be.
In terms of establishing a positive
reputation with the broader community, another hurdle the system struggles
to clear is peoples general initial
reluctance to accept change, said
Lempert.
He said his organization is working
to prevent Common Core from suffering the same damaged reputation in
California that it has elsewhere.
We are trying to make sure there
isnt that kind of pushback, he said.

In the case there is sufficient food

provided to local shelters, soup
kitchens, senior networks and the
variety of other outlets that accept
donations, Yap said she targets delivering to 100 percent affordable housing centers, as there are frequently residents who could use assistance.
She said with the abundance of perishable food that can be donated to the
needy, there is no reason for it to go to
waste.
Yap, who was born and raised in
Malaysia, said her drive for helping
the underprivileged grew from watching her mother who was a social worker assist malnourished communities.
Food was a basic need for many of
these families, she said.
After moving to the Bay Area as an
adult, she was astounded by the amount
of food available, and how much was
thrown away.
Over the years, Ive seen how much
food goes out, and I was really, really
inspired to do something, she said.
And apparently other regions agree,
as indicated by Peninsula Food

Runners expanding to Montgomery

County in Maryland, which offered
Yaps company $190, 000 in grant
funding to offer its service across the
country.
The organization will work with
Manna Food Center, a Maryland-based
facility which donates food to the
needy, to begin implementing the food
runner program in June.
Yap said bringing the organizations
services beyond local borders is in
line with her vision for serving as
many underprivileged people as possible.
Ive wanted to share this system not
just with our county, but with anyone
who was interested, she said. I think
in the long run my wish is to have our
system used by as many groups as possible.
And considering the demand for
food, matched with the amount of
available resources, Yap said her service fits a natural need.
Theres enough food to go around,
she said, we dont need to waste anymore.

including ocean beaches, creek mouths

Samples are analyzed in a lab for
indicator bacteria that include total

Warning signs are posted when bacterial standards have exceeded state
swimming standards but there is no
confirmed source of contamination,
according to the Health System.
Swimming in water that is contaminated by sewage, animal waste, chemicals or other types of contamination
can result in minor illnesses such as

skin rashes, eye and ear infections and

upset stomachs, or more severe and
potentially life-threatening diseases
such as cholera, hepatitis and meningitis, according to the Health System.
Typical symptoms may include diarrhea, nausea, stomach aches, open

ANSWERS

MONDAY, APRIL 27, 2015

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Conservative
investments or proven formulas will help to improve
your financial situation. Be prudent. Unproven or
risky purchases can do lasting damage to your
reputation and personal life.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Dont rely on others
to tell you the truth. All decisions must be made on
your own terms. Research will be imperative. Family
tension will escalate if not dealt with quickly.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Strive to bring
attention to social issues that you care about. You
will gain support, but also face detractors. The

WEEKENDS PUZZLE SOLVED

Each row and each column must contain the

numbers 1 through 6 without repeating.
The numbers within the heavily outlined boxes,
called cages, must combine using the given operation
(in any order) to produce the target numbers in the
top-left corners.
Freebies: Fill in single-box cages with the number in
the top-left corner.

better prepared you are, the more favorable the

response will be.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Bottling up your
emotions will result in tension and frustration.
Even if the matter is a sensitive one, you must
honestly acknowledge your feelings if you hope to
move forward.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deception is apparent.
Trust your intuition. Someone will withhold vital
information in order to further his or her interests.
Dont let anyone pressure you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) A change of scenery will
provide clues to the solution of a current dilemma. At
rst you may question what unfolds, but as the day

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Stimulate your

imagination by trying something amusing or
entertaining. This will also help to serve as a
diversion from a troublesome situation that has been
hovering in your thoughts.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You will have
to dig deep if you want to nd the answers you are
looking for. Friends or family will tell you what you
want to hear, not what you need to know.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) This is not the time
to lend or borrow money. Be open about business
matters. Your reputation will suffer if you make
secretive arrangements or deals.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) A change in the
way you earn your living is apparent. You will meet

someone who offers important information about a

career opportunity. Weigh the pros and cons before
you make a move.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Fluctuating health
issues should be investigated. Something that
seems minor will get worse if its not dealt with
in a timely manner. Keep accurate records of your
medical history.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Love and romance
are in a high cycle. You will be the life of the party,
so get out with friends and enjoy yourself. A new
connection will intrigue you.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Global response to Nepal quake gears up

By Gregory Katz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON There is still time to save

lives thats why governments and aid
agencies Sunday rushed doctors, volunteers
and equipment to Nepal without waiting for
the dust to settle.
U.N. spokeswoman Orla Fagan, who is
heading to Nepal, said preventing the
spread of disease is one of the most important tasks facing aid workers who are arriving.
There are 14 international medical teams
on the way and either 14 or 15 international search-and-rescue teams on the way, she
said. They need to get in as soon as possible. They will use military aircraft to get
them into Nepal.
Substantial logistical hurdles remain, but
there were hopeful signs as Kathmandus
international airport reopened after
Saturdays crushing earthquake, and some
aid vehicles were able to travel overland
from Indian to the stricken Nepalese city of
Pokhara.
That means supplies could potentially
come in overland from India. That is a positive sign, said Ben Pickering, Save the
Childrens humanitarian adviser in Britain.
The airport opening is a small miracle.

Chaotic conditions
He cautioned that chaotic conditions may

Truth About Deceptive

Cremation Practices
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE

(This was first

published in 2010,
but its currently
needed again with
updated details)
Attacks from a
number of out of
state cremation corporations have been
waged upon our local and well respected
mortuaries. By now many of you reading
this article have been targeted by the flood
of junk advertising being spread across the
Peninsula & Bay Area by these cremation
outfits that use deceptive language to spread
their misleading message. Its no secret that
societies such as the Trident-Neptune
Corporation are using scare tactics to sway
consumers when they are most vulnerable.
Their mailings, which are many times
disguised as friendly notes, use falsehoods
to imply that their business practice just
makes sense or is much less expensive
luring in unsuspecting consumers. Their
shrewdly worded letters which use
implications such as fancy and expensive
funeral home, falling victim to pressure to
overspend, spending your familys
inheritance or up-selling are crafted to
imply some sort of dishonesty. Also, an
alluring enticement to WIN is flaunted
with tempting instructions to include your
phone number & key personal data.
The truth is that these societies are no
more than wealthy competitors to your
locally owned mortuary, and their costs are
not only comparable, but many times
MORE expensive than what your local
mortuary offers. Ive had families come to
me at the Chapel of the Highlands with
stories of being seduced by certain

cremation societies with talk of lower

costs and other persuasive language. Tales
of unimpressive staff and meetings in
bunker-like facilities are common. After
comparing local mortuaries & cremation
costs it was discovered that a mortuarys
total balance can be similar or even LOWER
than these societies.
Families have
realized that it would have been much more
comforting if they had called the Chapel of
the Highlands first. Our Chapel is well
experienced and has been highly regarded
for assisting families with low cost
cremations decades before cremation-only
corporations ever existed. We are also a full
service facility offering our Chapel for
Memorial Services if desired.
My advice if you ever wish to
investigate cremation:
Do your homework and call your locally
owned mortuary first to compare costs
along with reports on good reputation;
Dont let cremation societies message
of being much less expensive or offers
to WIN fool you;
Dont turn over your phone # or personal
info to un-requested cremation solicitors;
If you must use a cremation society
find out where they are headquartered
and about any prior or active lawsuits.
Thank you for reading my rebuttal. It
bothers me that these societies are openly
using misleading language and making
blanket implications about mortuaries.
Their tactics are unwarranted and my only
desire is for the truth to be known.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funerals or 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. We will guide
you in a fair and helpful manner. You may

Spokesman Stefan Heine said the priority
was to get to the scene of the quake as quickly as possible to find those still alive.
They will be supported by numerous governments that have announced plans to send
aid worth millions of dollars.
The United Arab Emirates deployed an 88member search-and-rescue team to Nepal
Sunday, and the Emirates Red Crescent also
sent a team.
The Israeli military said it is sending a
260-member mission to Nepal to provide
immediate search-and-rescue help and medical aid.
An advanced multi-department medical
facility, equipped with approximately 95

tons of humanitarian and medical supplies

from Israel and a medical staff of 122 doctors, nurses and paramedics, will be rapidly
established in the city of Katmandu to provide medical care for disaster casualties,
the Israeli military said.
European nations deployed as well:
France said it would send 11 rescuers on
Sunday; Britain announced that an advance
team of eight had been sent and that a 5 million pound ($7. 6 million) aid package
would be available under a rapid response
plan; and the Swiss Foreign Ministry said a
team of experts including a doctor, a building surveyor and water quality technician
had left for Nepal on Sunday.
At the Vatican, Pope Francis led prayers
in St. Peters Square for the dead and displaced in Nepal and surrounding areas.
Francis called for assistance for the survivors during his weekly Sunday blessing.
He said he was praying for the victims, the
injured and all those who are suffering
from this calamity, and asked that they
have the support and fraternal solidarity
they need.

Volunteers
Volunteers from various British charities
gathered at Londons Heathrow Airport getting ready for overnight flights to the Nepal
region.
Gary Francis, leader of the Search and
Rescue Assistance in Disasters group, said
the group is bringing in enough tents, food
and water to operate self-sufficiently for 15
days.
They are bring in a vast array of equipment including sound and vibration detectors, seismic listening devices, and cutting
equipment, with an eye toward finding survivors.
Once we are there weve got the ability
to carry out a coordination role or urban
search and rescue looking for survivors
trapped in collapsed buildings, he said.
