However, its fate will

Bruno mayor
Marshall dies
Led City Council for 11 years
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Robert Bob Marshall Sr., who served
as mayor of San Bruno from April 1980 to
November 1991, died Tuesday, May 8,
2012.
He was 77.
Marshall was known as Mr. San Bruno
because of his years of dedication to serv-
ing the city he loved. Marshall started
Marshall Realty in San Bruno in 1959.
The most admirable thing about Bob is his complete love of
his community. San Bruno was his home and he truly cared
about it, said former mayor Larry Franzella, who served on
the City Council while Marshall was mayor. He had wonder-
ful consensus building skills.
While he was mayor, Marshall was instrumental in getting
the Senior Center built. The center has often been referred to

Robin Hansen, with the Mid-Peninsula American Dream Council, donned a wedding dress yesterday to ask a local bank to
marry her since the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled corporations are legally people.
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Whether they are called Occupiers, the
99 percent or simply members of the
local Dream Council, the groups that
have staged rallies at the county court-
house and various banks in Redwood
City in recent months have a are for
theatrics literally.
Some dress up as the Statue of Liberty
or fat bankers with cigars and others give
themselves fake names such as Philip T.
Rich to highlight the great divide
between the so-called 1 percent and
everybody else.
Yesterday, Robin Hansen, with the
Mid-Peninsula American Dream
Council, donned a wedding dress and
asked a downtown Redwood City Bank
of America branch to marry her in a skit
she performed.
She did not get an answer from the
bank. In fact, bank employees locked the
doors to her and the rest of her support-
ers just after the noon hour yesterday.
They marched on the local BofA
branch as its corporate board of directors
held an annual meeting in Charlotte,
N.C. yesterday.
Hansen asked BofA to marry her to
challenge the U.S. Supreme Courts
assertion that a corporation be treated as
a person. Occupiers are calling to abol-

Cops: Man with $5,000
refuses to pay $12 fare
SYRACUSE, N.Y. Police say a
New York man who refused to pay a $12
taxi fare was carrying more than $5,000
when the cabbie drove him around look-
ing for cheap cigarettes.
The Post-Standard of Syracuse reports
that a 68-year-old man had the driver
take him to two stores on Monday. Each
time he came out empty-handed, saying
the price of cigarettes was too high.
When the man had the cabbie take him
to a third store, the driver asked for the
$12.40 fare. The passenger refused to
pay and told the cabbie to call police over
the issue.
According to the newspaper, the arrest
report says the man became uncoopera-
tive. Police handcuffed him and searched
his pockets, nding more than $5,000 in
cash.
Teens sweet prom dress
made of Starburst wrappers
ISHPEMING, Mich. A northern
Michigan teen put together one sweet
prom dress, thanks to the help of class-
mates who collected thousands of
Starburst wrappers for her.
Diane McNease tells WLUC-TV that
she came up with the idea of making her
prom dress out of candy wrappers when
she saw a friend folding some. She esti-
mates it took about 18,000 Starburst
wrappers to make the corset of her dress,
as well as matching hair bands and a
purse.
The Ishpeming High School student
wore the dress to Saturdays prom in
Michigans Upper Peninsula.
Black bear abandons
hibernation spot under cabin
PHILIPSBURG, Mont. A 200-
pound black bear that swiped some blan-
kets and pillows from a western Montana
cabin to line his makeshift den in the
cabins crawl space has moved on.
Cabin owner Judy Wing of Missoula
tells The Montana Standard hat now that
the bear, dubbed Blue, has awakened,
shes going to bear-proof the seasonal
cabin on Georgetown Lake.
Wings family discovered the bear, and
the missing pillows, comforters and
homemade blankets on a Jan. 1 visit.
They nailed shut a hatch in the oor and
covered the outside opening with brush
to keep the bear warm and hidden.
Fish, Wildlife and Parks game warden
Terry Althaus says the bear stuck around
until early April.
Wing plans to meet with wildlife of-
cials this weekend to go over ways she
can secure the cabin.

east Nebraska man has legally become
Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The York News-Times reports that the
man entered the York County courtroom
on Monday as Tyler Gold and left it with
the moniker Tyrannosaurus Rex Joseph
Gold.
Gold says in his public ling for the
change that the dinosaurs name is cool-
er. He says that as an entrepreneur,
name recognition is important and the
new name is more recognizable. The
newspaper report does not describe his
line of business.
Judge Alan Gless asked Gold at
Mondays hearing whether he wanted a
new name so he could hide from credi-
tors or law enforcement. Gold said no.

With 90 percent of the 32 votes favoring a
change in school assignment for 47 San
Mateo homes, the switch will go into effect
next year.
On Tuesday, a special all-mail election was
held for 77 voters. Twenty-nine votes favored
the change while three opposed it, according
to the semi-ofcial results by the San Mateo
County Elections Ofce. Those results will
change the school assignments for the homes
on Fairmont Drive. Currently, students are
zoned to attend Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary and Sequoia Union High school
districts. Under the proposal, students would
instead attend the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary and San Mateo Union High
school districts.
It all started last summer when Mark
Bendick submitted a neighborhood petition to
change the school designation. In October, the
San Mateo County Committee on School
District Organization gave a preliminary OK
to the plans. Only one district, San Mateo-
Foster City, favored the move. Belmont-
Redwood Shores and Sequoia both opposed
the idea while San Mateo Union stayed neu-
tral. Since all four districts were not OK with
the change, it went to a special election. Now
that its approved, the transfer will go into
effect July 1, 2013.
To obtain a hearing on the proposal,
Bendick gathered signatures from 25 percent
of the registered voters in the area. The peti-
tion aimed to move properties within 2020 to
2098 Fairmont Drive and 2025 to 2089
Fairmont Drive, according to the petition.
The location of the homes, by De Anza
Boulevard and on the north side of State
Route 92, makes walking to the assigned
Belmont schools difcult. Since the mid-
1980s, families have been able to choose
which of the four districts they would like to
send their children. Many families in the
neighborhood have chosen to have students
attend schools in San Mateo.
Currently, Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary and Sequoia Union High school
districts together have parcel taxes ranging
from $187.50 to $192.72 per parcel and the
San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School
District has parcel taxes of $274.88 per parcel.
The San Mateo Union High School District
has no parcel taxes. Transferring the territory
will result in the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District receiving an addi-
tional $9,345.92, Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary will lose $5,568, and Sequoia
Union High District will lose $489.06 annual-
ly in parcel taxes, according to an impartial
analysis of the measure.
Parcel owners collectively pay $13,735
annually to Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary and Sequoia Union, an average of
$292.23 per parcel. Property owners will pay
a total of $12,805 annually to San Mateo-
Foster City Elementary and San Mateo Union,
an average of $272.45 per household a sav-
ings of $19.78, according to the impartial
analysis.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A Daly City woman accused of torching her
fathers home and a rear rental unit before
attacking a responding police ofcer with an
umbrella is mentally unt to stand trial for
attempted murder, according to two court-
appointed doctors.
Min Kyung Bang, 32, is also charged
with two counts of arson, three counts of
battery on a peace officer and one count of
battery on a vehicle operator. However,
criminal proceedings will remain on hold
possibly indefinitely while she is
sent to a state mental hospital for treat-
ment rather than standing trial.
Competency is a persons ability to aid in
his or her own defense unlike sanity which is
a persons mental state at the time of an
alleged crime.
Bang lived with her father in Daly City and,
on Feb. 21, prosecutors say she set re to the
residence along with another unit. The arson
was captured on a neighbors surveillance
tape, said Chief Deputy District Attorney
Karen Guidotti.
When Daly City police ofcers arrived at
the scene approximately 20 minutes later,
Bang allegedly struck one with an umbrella
and kicked and punched at the others.
Police reported Bang was rambling and
incoherent.
After she refused to come to court to enter a
plea, doubts were raised about her mental
competency.
She will be formally committed at a June 19
hearing and meanwhile remains in custody
without bail.

Settlement reached
in Bay oil tanker spill
ALAMEDA The owner of an oil tanker
that spilled 400 gallons of fuel into San
Francisco Bay has agreed to pay nearly $2
million as part of a settlement with state and
local authorities.
The settlement by South Harmony Shipping
of Panama was led in San Francisco County
Superior Court on Tuesday by the district
attorneys of San Francisco and Alameda
County.
The spill occurred in 2009 when a tank on
the ship Dubai Star began overowing during
refueling between San Francisco and
Alameda.
Investigators say among other errors, the
crew waited hours before calling cleanup
companies.
The spill coated beaches in Alameda County
and killed an estimated 186 birds.
Ofcials said most of the settlement money
will be used to restore wildlife habitat and
enhance public recreation.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
U.S. Rep. Anna G. Eshoo, D-
Palo Alto, yesterday hailed the deci-
sion of Ravenswood Family Health
Center being awarded $7.3 million in
funding from the U.S. Health and
Human Services Department for its
Health Care Innovation Project.
The project will assist 19,000 patients in southeast San Mateo
County better manage chronic care conditions by helping
them adhere to health care plans based on their unique needs.
These efforts are expected to save more than $6 million over
three years. Ravenswood Family Health Center serves pre-
dominantly underserved communities in East Palo Alto and
East Menlo Park and has an excellent track record of improv-
ing health outcomes. Nearly 90 percent of Ravenswood
patients live at or below the federal poverty level, 60 percent
are uninsured, and almost 40 percent are children under the
age of 15, according to Eshoos ofce.
CITY GOVERNMENT
On Tuesday, the San Bruno City Council passed
increases to the garbage, water and wastewater rates. The
conversation did draw a large crowd but not enough protests
to stop the increase.
For the garbage rates, the garbage rates will increase 2.341
percent a unanimous vote by the council. For the water
and wastewater rates the increases are larger, 9.8 percent and
10.3 percent respectively. Those rates passed with a 3-2 vote
with Vice Mayor Michael Salazar and Councilman Rico
Medina dissenting.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES The California
State University board of trustees on
Wednesday approved a measure to ask
campus foundations to pay for raises of
up to 10 percent for incoming campus
presidents in a move designed to quell
public outrage about the salary hikes.
Under the new policy, taxpayers will
not fund raises for new presidents.
Instead, campus nonprot groups, such
as foundations, will be asked to raise
funds specically to pay for the raises.
State Superintendent of Public
Instruction Tom Torlakson applauded
the move as a signicant step in the
right direction.
But critics said campus presidents
should not be getting raises at all at a
time when students are facing a 9 per-
cent tuition increase in the fall and
spring 2013 enrollment is being frozen
due to cuts in state funding. The faculty
has not had a raise since 2008.
They seem to have an obsession with
making sure executives are highly paid,
said Kevin Wehr, president of the
Sacramento State University chapter of
the California Faculty Association.
Foundation money could be used for
more student scholarships or for student
instruction.
Chancellor Charles Reed maintains
that the 23-campus system needs to offer
better salaries in order to lure top talent
to the presidents posts. The system is
undergoing a wave of retirements.
Several of a group of about dozen stu-
dents who are in the eighth day of a
hunger strike to protest university poli-
cies, addressed the board to present their
demands, which include rolling back
administrator salaries to 1999 levels.

of the past 50 years, Victor Willis name
likely wouldnt merit more than an aster-

Far better known as the cop in the nov-

also remembered for a number of drug-
related troubles in the early 2000s that
nearly up-ended his post-Village People
days.
Yet there he was this week, being men-

court battle to claim at least a third of the
copyrights for such songs as Macho
Man, Y.M.C.A. and In the Navy
that he co-wrote for his old group.
The former Macho Man, who says
he has a new album titled Solo Man
coming out in a few weeks, declined to
say what kind of payday he expects
Mondays ruling by U.S. District Judge
Barry Moskowitz to bring him.

WASHINGTON Bending to strong
public opposition, the nearly bankrupt
U.S. Postal Service on Wednesday
backed off a plan to close thousands of
rural post ofces after May 15 and pro-
posed keeping them open, but with
shorter operating hours.
The move to halt the shuttering of
3,700 low-revenue post ofces followed
months of dissent from rural states and
their lawmakers, who said the cost-cut-
ting would hurt their communities the
most. In recent weeks, rising opposition
had led Postmaster General Patrick
Donahoe to visit some rural areas in a
bid to ease fears about cuts that could
slow delivery of prescription drugs,
newspapers and other services.
In an election year, the angst over
postal closings also extended to nearly
half the senators, who in letters last
week urged Donahoe to postpone clos-
ing any mail facility until Congress
approves nal postal overhaul legisla-
tion. The Senate last month passed a bill
that would halt many of the closings; the
House remains stalled over a separate
bill allowing for aggressive cuts.
I could live with this plan, and I think
the majority of people could, said June
Nygren, who runs the Jersey Lilly
Saloon & Eatery in the tiny Montana
town of Ingomar. Donahoe visited the
rural town of about 80 people last
month, which welcomed him with a
spread of home-made baked goods and a
packed school gymnasium as people
pleaded for their post ofce to stay open.
I felt he really paid attention, and
apparently he did, Nygren said.
At a news brieng, Donahoe said he
hoped the latest plan will help allay
much of rural Americas concern about
postal cutbacks. He prodded Congress to
act quickly on legislation that will allow
the agency to move ahead with its broad-
er multi-billion dollar cost-cutting effort
and return to protability by 2015.
Weve listened to our customers in
rural America, and weve heard them
loud and clear they want to keep their
post ofce open, he said. We believe
todays announcement will serve our
customers needs and allow us to achieve
real savings to help the Postal Service
return to long-term nancial stability.
While no post ofce would be closed,
more than 13,000 rural mail facilities
could see reduced operations of between
two hours and six hours a day, but only
after a review process that is expected to
take several months. An additional 4,000
rural post ofces would keep their full-
time hours.

Former employee and
friends plead not guilty
in workplace ambush
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A terminated employee of a South San
Francisco business and two friends pleaded
not guilty to several charges stemming
from an alleged violent confrontation with
his former employer.
Carlos Velasquez and Marcelo Jose
Castro, both 22, and Rodrigo Alejandro
Aguayo, 33, all of South San Francisco, are
charged with assault with a deadly weapon,
discharging a rearm, making threats and
participating in a street gang. They pleaded
not guilty and were set for a May 25 pre-
trial conference followed by a June 25 jury
trial.
Prosecutors say, on Feb. 25, Velasquez
arrived at his former workplace on the 400
block of North Canal Street with the two
others to confront the manager of the busi-
ness but a group of employees attempted to
intervene. A ght broke out between the
suspects and the employees and Castro
allegedly red several shots from a hand-
gun. Aguayo reportedly hit one of the
employees with a baseball bat before the
three defendants ed.
Police found Velasquez at his house and
Aguayo returning home in a vehicle seen
leaving the scene. Details of Castros
apprehension were not available.
Aguayo and Velasquez remain in cus-
tody in lieu of $100,000 bail while Castro
is held on a $50,00 bond.

SAN FRANCISCO After decades of
environmental ghts, Californias chief
coastal regulator approved a scaled-back
development plan Wednesday by a Clint
Eastwood-backed group on a breathtaking
swath of real estate covered by rare
Monterey pines.
The California Coastal Commission
voted unanimously to allow Pebble Beach
Co. to build 90 homes in Monterey
Countys Del Monte Forest. The company
can also build a new, 100-unit hotel on the
former site of Spyglass Quarry and
expand its current Lodge at Pebble Beach.
The plan also will preserve 635 acres of
native forest and improve public access to
the site for generations to come.
The compromise ended a decades-long
battle over the pristine land, which is vis-
ible by motorists on the famed 17-mile
drive near the famous Pebble Beach Golf
Links.
It shows that development and envi-
ronmental interests can be successfully
balanced when there is an up-front com-
mitment to resource protection and work-
ing collaboratively with (the) commis-
sion, Charles Lester, the commissions
executive director, said Wednesday.
The fight became pitched when
Eastwood, Arnold Palmer and former
baseball commissioner Peter Ueberroths
group bought the site in 1999 and pro-
posed to develop a play land for the
wealthy a new golf course, revamped
polo elds and 100 new mansions on a
much bigger swath of forestland.

Tourist robbed in
South San Francisco
A tourist visiting from Milwaukee
was walking on Gateway Boulevard
Tuesday morning near East Grand
Avenue and was approached by two
men who demanded money from
him and attempted to take his wallet
from his pants pocket, according to
South San Francisco police.
The tourist attempted to keep his
wallet and was cut with a knife on
his left cheek, arm and hand,
according to police.
The suspects, described as
African-American, took some
money from the tourists wallet and
got away on bicycles, according to
police. The victim was taken to a
local hospital and treated for minor
injuries, according to police.

Police: No merit to
kidnapping report
The man who grabbed a 12-year-
old boy in a McDonalds rest room
Saturday afternoon was not trying
to kidnap him but rather give him a
friendly hug, South San Francisco
Police indicated yesterday.
Police were asking for the pub-
lics help in identifying the man and
were contacted Tuesday by some-
one saying they may have known
the suspect.
Through the citizens tip, police
were able to identify the suspect and
contact him. Investigators then
determined there was no merit to
the attempted kidnapping as the
suspect was mentally challenged
and was trying to be friendly by giv-
ing the juvenile a hug, according to
police.

VALPARAISO, Ind. President
Barack Obama and his presumptive
Republican challenger, Mitt
Romney, can take a few lessons
from veteran Sen. Richard Lugars
loss in Indianas GOP primary.
Voters are unhappy with incum-
bents, an ominous sign for the
Democratic president in a GOP-
leaning state he won four years ago
and for nervous lawmakers, many
of them running in newly redrawn
districts.
Tea party-backed Richard
Mourdocks easy win over the six-
term Senate xture also illustrates
the deep divide that persists in the
Republican base and underscores
the thorny task still ahead for
Romney, and other GOP candidates
hoping the party
will unite in
time to defeat
Obama on Nov.
6.
We are expe-
riencing deep
political divi-
sions in our
society right
now, Lugar, 80,
one of the nations longest-serving
senators, said in a statement after
Tuesdays election results were
known. These divisions have stale-
mated progress in critical areas. But
these divisions are not insurmount-
able.
The loss of Lugar who boasted
of strong conservative credentials
but was lambasted by critics for
working with Democrats also
highlights the degree to which deal-
makers are becoming a rarity on a
Capitol Hill often consumed by par-
tisan gridlock. He follows Sen.
Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, a mod-
erate known for bipartisanship, in
leaving the Senate at years end.
Others too, including former Sen.
Evan Bayh, D-Ind., have left in
recent years. Ultimately, it was
Lugars efforts to cross party lines
and his longevity in Washington
two issues Mourdock used against
him that proved too much for
Indiana Republicans.
Sen. Lugar has sided too many
times with the Democrats, Stacy
Rutkowski of Valparaiso, who voted
for Mourdock, said on her way out
of her polling place. Hes been
there six terms, and its time for
some new blood.
A few hours after conceding,
Lugar slammed Mourdock for
embracing groups whose prime
mission is to cleanse the Republican
Party of those who stray from ortho-
doxy as they see it.
This is not conducive to problem
solving and governance, Lugar
said. And he will nd that unless
he modies his approach, he will
achieve little as a legislator. Worse,
he will help delay solutions that are
totally beyond the capacity of parti-
san majorities to achieve.
Broadly, Lugars defeat may cre-
ate an opportunity for Democrats
working to keep a narrow four-seat
majority in the Senate. National
party leaders vowed to help centrist
Democrat Joe Donnelly, a three-
term House member from South
Bend, compete against Mourdock,
the conservative state treasurer, in a
Senate race the party otherwise
would have bypassed.

SAN FRANCISCO A jury
convicted an illegal immigrant
Wednesday of killing a father and
two of his sons in a gang-related

STATE/NATION/WORLD 7
By Jack Chang
MEXICO CITY President
Barack Obamas announcement
Wednesday that he supports gay
marriage boosted the hopes of gay
rights groups around the world that
other leaders will follow his exam-
ple. Vatican and other religious of-
cials who oppose gay marriage
stayed largely silent, while others
denounced the presidents position.
Gay groups lauded what they said
was the tremendous precedent set
by Obama and hoped for changes in
their own countries. In Latin
America, for example, governments
in Argentina and Mexico City have
passed laws permitting gay mar-
riage, but most do not.
This is incredibly important, its
excellent news. The United States is
a global leader on everything, and
that includes gay rights, said Julio
Moreira, president of the Rio de
Janei r o- based
Arco-Iris gay
rights group.
This will force
other nations like
Brazil to move
forward with
more progressive
policies.
That message
was echoed by
some people in Europe, Latin
America and the Middle East, who
said it was about time Obama took a
positive stand on the issue.
Its a civil liberty, said 25-year-
old Duncan Bruce while smoking a
cigarette outside of a London pub.
This is not to do with religion
its about two men loving each
other. If you cant get a tax break for
that, its a disgrace.
Even as religious ofcials didnt
comment, political leaders and oth-
ers opposed to gay marriage were
not shy about denouncing what they
said was a shameless appeal by
Obama for votes. In particular,
politicians tied to Pentecostal and
Catholic churches have spoken out
strongly against same-sex marriage
in Latin America.
Barack Obama is an ethical man
and a philosophically confused
man, said Peruvian congress-
woman Martha Chavez of the con-
servative Catholic Opus Dei move-
ment. He knows that marriage isnt
an issue only of traditions or of reli-
gious beliefs. Marriage is a natural
institution that supports the union of
two people of different sexes
because it has a procreative func-
tion.
Religion-based opposition was
also strong in Egypts conservative
Muslim-dominated society, which
rejects same-sex relations. Laws
prohibiting debauchery or
shameless public acts have been
used to imprison gay men in recent
years.
Obama gay marriage support seen as world precedent
By Lisa Leff
SAN FRANCISCO Perhaps
more than any other politician,
California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom
understands the political risk
President Barack Obama took
Wednesday when he announced
that he supports same-sex mar-
riages.
It was only eight years ago, after
all, that Newsom became some-
thing of a Democratic Party pariah
and a fall guy for President George
Bushs reelection because of his
own endorsement of gay marriage.
As the new mayor of San
Francisco in 2004, he directed city
ofces to issue
m a r r i a g e
licenses to
same-sex cou-
ples, a month-
long exercise
in civil disobe-
dience that car-
ried images of
two men and
two women
exchanging vows into American
living rooms for the rst time.
But if Newsoms experience is
any guide, Obama also stands to
reap some rewards for his historic
stand, the lieutenant governor and

said.

Lisa Stahr, founder of Scouts
Animal Rehab Therapy Fund,
understands the beauty of rehab
therapy for animals. Just like physi-
cal therapy for humans, rehab thera-
py improves an animals quality of
life by accelerating healing, increas-
ing muscle mass and strength,
improving balance, coordination,
exibility and mobility, and mini-
mizing or eliminating pain and dis-
comfort. And as the owner of an
animal rehab therapy center in
Menlo Park, she watched more than
1,500 animals benet from physical
rehabilitation therapy. Also under-
standing the expense of these thera-
pies, she could not tolerate animals
being deprived of such services
because of nancial constraints,and,
thus, she began Scouts Fund.
By underwriting the cost of rehab
therapy, the nonprot Scouts
Animal Rehab Therapy Fund is
ensuring that these animals get the
rehabilitation therapy they need to
live better and longer lives.

have generated up to $492,648
annually for the school district,
falling just short of the required

Lets put Saltworks to a vote
Editor,
I wish the Redwood City Council
would allow us to vote on the develop-
ment on the Saltworks site. Save the
Bays non-negotiable insistence on ban-
ning any development is myopic. It
sure is easier to scream No! all the
time instead of working on practical
solutions to the real enemies of our
quality of life, like the lack of housing
and the congestion and air pollution
from huge number of commuters driv-
ing here every day. Save the Bay has
managed to take our city hostage with
all that screaming. Its time to stop the
screaming and take our city back.
Lets ask the voters whether they
agree with Save the Bay. Redwood
City, do you want the Saltworks site
fenced off and all plans for it banned
for good, on all 1,400 acres? And while
were at it, lets demand that Save the
Bay stop all its simplistic screaming
and, if the voters disagree, for them to
shut up. For good.

What lean means
Editor,
Lean conjures images of lanky,
linen-clad beautiful people, standing
on the Riviera overlooking aqua-col-
ored oceans. Audrey Hepburn,
Gregory Peck, Jimmy Stewart,
Princess Diana. Lean!
When a company takes on the
lean mantra, beautiful people isnt
the image that pops up in an employ-
ees mind. Corporate lean usually
means more work, fewer resources
and fewer financial rewards for those
doing the work.
Images of Karen Carpenter come to
mind emaciated, starved, dying!
When a hospital adopts the lean
ideology, its dangerous. Taking care
of hospitalized patients in todays
world is harder than it has ever been.
No technology can replace the human
mind. Split-second decisions that save
lives are made by RNs every day.
Technology is a tool an adjunct to,
not a replacement.
Mills-Peninsula/Sutter Health has
bought into the latest marketing craze:
the KAIZEN philosophy of care,
developed in Japan by Toyota to
increase automotive production on an
assembly line. This is the lean proj-
ect that MPHS management is trying
to sell as the Hail Mary Pass,
designed to increase their declining
patient satisfaction scores (patient
satisfaction scores which are directly
tied to monetary reimbursements by
the federal government).
Employee salaries and benefits are a
large part of MPHSs budget, but
employees are the hospital. No matter
how automated management wants it
to be, sick people are not car parts.
Sutter made close to $5 billion, yet it
tells its staff they wont be getting
wage increases. No new jobs will be
created. Everyone needs to tighten
their belts. Do more work. Work
smarter. Processes need to be re-eval-
uated. Everyone needs to improve the
process and streamline the workflow.
Mills-Peninsula is now lean like
Karen Carpenter.

The Orange County Register
R
eady for even more California
tax increases? Corporate taxes
could be going up another $1
billion a year. Thats in addition to the
$735 million a year in extra cigarette
taxes if Proposition 29 passes in June.
Come November, voters could green-
light $9 billion in higher income and
sales taxes sought by Gov. Jerry Brown,
and/or a $10 billion income tax
increase sponsored by activist lawyer
Molly Munger.
The corporate tax increase would
come from repealing one of the few tax
breaks of recent years, a $1 billion
break for corporations that was part of
the deal for Gov. Arnold
Schwarzeneggers $13 billion tax
increases in 2009. The tax increases
have expired.
As the Legislative Analyst explained
in a 2010 report, While the current
(corporate-tax) formula considers the
location of rms sales, property and
payroll, starting in 2011 rms will have
the option to consider only their sales
(single sales). Its called the single
sales factor. Advocates for higher taxes
want to cancel that choice, returning to
the pre-2011 model.
The tax increase is advancing on two
fronts, in the California Legislature and
as a November ballot measure.
Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los
Angeles, is sponsoring Assembly Bill
1500, which would cancel the lower tax
option. Hes also sponsoring a compan-
ion piece, AB1501, which would go
into effect only if AB1500 passes.
AB1501 would spend the increased tax
money on middle-class college scholar-
ships.
AB1500 requires a two-thirds vote of
the Legislature because its a tax
increase. Republican legislators have
been solid in opposing tax increases in
this legislative session, and likely wont
break ranks as an election approaches.
But the Perez proposal does show how
dangerous California will be for tax-
payers should Republican ranks fall
below the one-third level in both houses
of the Legislature, which they well
could do after November.
Making an end run around the leg-
islative process is an initiative for the
November ballot by yet-another
wealthy Californian who wants the
government to raise taxes. On Tuesday,
hedge-fund manager Tom Steyer sub-
mitted 900,000 signatures to place his
initiative on the ballot. We think were
on the ballot for sure, he said.
The initiative, which aims to raise
more than $1 billion a year from com-
panies, directs about half the additional
tax money for the rst ve years
toward energy conservation efforts at
schools and other public buildings,
reported the Sacramento Bee. The rest
would go to the general fund. After ve
years, all the money would go to the
general fund.
Mr. Steyer said the initiative would
create green jobs. But taxes kill jobs by
sucking money out of the private sector.
Similar green-jobs claims were made
about Assembly Bill 32, the Global
Warming Solutions Act of 2006, by
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. But
AB32 didnt prevent state unemploy-
ment from soaring well above the
national rate.
Californias real employment prob-
lem is not a lack of green jobs, but the
states severe anti-jobs climate, to
which AB32 and the specter of Mr.
Steyers initiative contribute.
On Monday, the Assembly Revenue
and Taxation Committee held hearings
on the Perez bills. Dorothy Rothrock of
the California Manufacturers and
Technology Association testied: By
moving to a mandatory single-sales fac-
tor... (t)his will further erode
Californias ability to attract and com-
pete with other states for business
investment and hiring.
These bills and the Steyer initiative
should be opposed. One of these days,
California is going to have to stop chas-
ing businesses and jobs out of the state.
State business-tax hike moving on two fronts
What good will words do
unless you act on them?
N
orth Carolina what? The rice was barely swept
up from that states celebration of its crushing
blow to same-sex marriage equality when
President Barack Obama stood up yesterday refusing to
forever hold his peace.
Yes, the president said, there
is a reason why everybody and
not just heterosexual couples
should be united in matrimony.
For the first time, the president
stopped dancing around the
issue like a commitment-phobe
and proposed that, in his hum-
ble opinion, same-sex marriage
should be legal.
The news alerts were barely
read before the press releases
and comments began far and
wide. The majority were quite dignified, regardless of the
issuers opinion. Fantastic, brave, cause for celebration,
came the supporters. Even singer Cyndi Lauper weighed
in so you know this was no run-of-the mill news day.
Unfortunate, sad, disappointed, announced the oppo-
nents. The only unexpected aspect of those releases was
the lack of fire and brimstone vitriol that colored so
many other reactions to prior same-sex victories that
have landed in the inbox.
My reaction was less graceful something along the
lines of, what the heck took so long?
Like a girl with a loud biological clock and a pushy
family hankering for a diamond ring, supporters of same-
sex marriage have been hanging out wishing and hoping
with bated breath for the day Obama finally popped the
question or rather, decided hes ready to take the
plunge. With Election Day looming like the ultimate in
ultimatums, Obama finally told the county I do in a tel-
evision interview.
Specifically, Obama said, it is important for me to go
ahead and confirm that I think same-sex couples should
be able to get married.
As the words were uttered from his lips, a funny thing
happened namely nothing. Granted, the news crawls
lit up, both sides drew up their analysis and those of us
stinging from North Carolina got a little salve for yet
another set of hateful wounds. But a hole didnt open up
and swallow the country, its population smitten for dar-
ing to join the ranks of other countries whove already
legalized same-sex marriage. Showers of golden light
didnt pour down from the heavens while angels sang
praises, as though we as Americans and Obama as the
leader of the free world took the lead on an issue other
parts of the world are too fearful to touch. In fact, life
continued pretty much as we know it despite Obama
finally coming to a realization that he and many others
should have reached a very long time ago.
The timing of Obamas admission is more than likely a
calculated campaign move, playing off the recent public
endorsements of same-sex marriage by both Vice
President Joe Biden and Education Secretary Arne
Duncan. Maybe he actually struggled all those years over
his beliefs. Maybe he was quite clear but too politically
weary to do much more than endorse civil unions and
leave his constituents hoping that promise ring would one
day translate into a more permanent engagement band.
In either case, snarkiness about foot dragging aside,
Obama should be commended for finally coming clean
on his position. The true test is what happens now. Will
Obamas admission propel federal changes or at least
stem further state-implemented decisions on the defini-
tion of marriage? As the old adage says, actions speak
louder than words.
Obama has cemented a place in the history books as
the first sitting president to endorse same-sex marriage.
Long after the legions of activists and just plain regular
folks supporting the right to marry who one wants are
gone, Obama will remain as the first administration tak-
ing a very large step. Lets just hope he keeps on step-
ping, further divorcing himself from those with antiquat-
ed notions of who deserves marriage and constitutional
rights.
Obama is finally saying a couple, any couple, should
be able to have a wedding cake.
Nows his chance to let them eat it, too.

Fear of European debt is once again
playing havoc with Wall Street.
Stocks pitched down Wednesday in the
United States as borrowing rates climbed
for Spain and Italy, a sign that investors
are losing condence in those countries
nances.
Spains 10-year borrowing rate leapt to
6.06 percent from 5.70 percent early
Tuesday. Many fear that Spain, strangled
by high unemployment and a real estate
collapse, could be the next nation to
require nancial rescue.
The Dow Jones industrial average was
down as much as 184 points before recov-
ering about half of the loss. Still, the aver-
age has fallen for six consecutive days, its
longest losing streak since last summer.
The Dow soared 2,624 points, or 25
percent, from Oct. 3 through May 1 as
European leaders appeared to get a han-
dle on the debt crisis. Last fall, nations
that use the euro agreed to enforce budg-
et discipline across the region.
Since May 1, when the Dow closed at a
four-year high, worries about Europe
have resurfaced. In elections on Sunday,
Greek and French voters ousted leaders
who had imposed tough spending cuts to
soothe investors.
In the six losing days that ended
Wednesday, the Dow gave back 444
points one-sixth of the points it gained
during its eight-month rally. The Dow
closed down 97.03 points, or 0.8 percent,
at 12,835.06.
Greece, without a government since
Sundays elections, appears increasingly
likely to exit the euro currency union or
be forced out. The resulting uncertainty
could cause turmoil throughout global
markets.
The spring decline has become a motif
on Wall Street. In 2010 and 2011, the
Dow climbed in the rst three months of
the year, then at-lined or lost ground as
events overseas overshadowed modest
economic growth in the U.S.
The market today is tame compared
with last summer, when the Dow routine-
ly swung by hundreds of points a day.
But the atmosphere is starting to resem-
ble last years as traders sell anything
deemed risky based on the latest head-
lines from Europe, said Peter Tchir, who
trades a range of investments for his
hedge fund TF Market Advisors.
The concern in Spain is at such a high
level that people trade the indexes or big
futures contracts and are less discriminat-
ing about what risk theyre taking on, he
said.

Big movers

LOS ANGELES A judge over-
turned a nearly $10,000 small claims
judgment against American Honda
Motor Co. that was won by a car owner
who said the automaker misrepresented
that her hybrid Civic could get 50 miles
per gallon, according to a ruling released
Wednesday.
Superior Court Judge Dudley W. Gray
II ruled Tuesday on Hondas appeal of a
court commissioners award of $9,867 to
Heather Peters.
Peters had opted out of a class-action
settlement giving some 200,000 owners
between $100 and $200 each, plus a
rebate if they buy a new Honda. She
elected instead to sue the automaker on
her own.
Peters, a lawyer, also urged Honda
owners to take the small-claims route as
she did, and her initial success led some
1,700 other hybrid owners to opt out of
the class-action settlement. It wasnt
clear how many have led similar small
claims actions, but Honda said
Wednesday it had prevailed in 16 of 17
cases across the nation since January.
The ruling by Gray will not have a
direct effect on any other cases.
However, a legal observer said it could
pose a challenge to those pursuing
small claims actions.
I think it will make it harder for them
to ght their case on an individual basis,
said Aaron Jacoby, a class action lawyer
in Los Angeles who is not involved with
the Honda case.
The ruling is not binding on another
court, but it certainly is persuasive, he
added.
Peters said she was disappointed but
glad she brought awareness about
Honda.
They used to go the extra mile in cus-
tomer service, now they go the extra mile
ghting customers in court, she said in a
statement on her website, dontsettlewith-
honda.org.
Honda wins appeal of hybrid judgment
Facebook gives more
details on mobile usage
NEW YORK Facebook says the number of people log-
ging in is continuing to grow more quickly than the number of
ads delivered.
This is in part because more people are using Facebook on
mobile devices, where it shows a very small number of ads,
Facebook said Wednesday. The nding implies that Facebook
has room to grow in the still-nascent mobile advertising space.
Facebook says it saw that trend in the rst quarter, and that
has continued in the current quarter.
Facebook Inc., which is expected to begin trading publicly
next week, added three paragraphs on mobile usage to regula-
tory lings. The changes came after executives met with
prospective investors in New York and Boston ahead of its ini-
tial public offering of stock.
Ciscos sobering forecast overshadows 3Q earnings
SAN FRANCISCO Cisco raised the specter late
Wednesday of a jarring slowdown in technology spending,
alarming investors already fretting about the economys fragile
condition. The red ag hoisted by the worlds largest maker of
computer-networking equipment overshadowed a solid show-
ing in Ciscos most recent quarter.
Investors instead xated on a sobering forecast for the cur-
rent quarter from Cisco Systems Inc. CEO John Chambers.
Fannie Mae earns $2.7B in Q1, will pay govt $2.8B
WASHINGTON U.S. mortgage giant Fannie Mae report-
ed its rst net income gain since it was taken over by the gov-
ernment during the 2008 financial crisis. Fannie said
Wednesday that it earned net income attributable to common
stockholders of $2.7 billion in the January-March quarter.
Instead of seeking additional aid from taxpayers, the company
will pay a dividend of $2.8 billion to the Treasury Department.

COMING INTO FOCUS: BCS LEADERS BELIEVE ONLY CONFERENCE CHAMPS SHOULD HAVE SHOT AT TITLE >>> PAGE 12
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Like most teams, the Burlingame
baseball squad set a number of pre-
season goals: win the Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division title,
qualify for the Central Coast
Section playoffs and ultimately win
a section championship.
The Panthers can check off the
rst box on the list. Their 13-1 win
over Hillsdale Wednesday was the
fth in a row for the Panthers and
clinched the Bay Division crown, a
spot they last held in 2010.
And despite a gaudy 11-2 Bay
Division record and an overall mark
of 19-6, the Panthers arent ashy or
big boppers. Theyre not banging
the ball all over the park or leaning
on extra base hits to score runs.
Burlingame has been very economi-
cal when it comes to scoring.
Simply put: when the Panthers put a
runner in scoring position, more
often than not, he scores. Whether
by hit, walk, sacrice y, error or
what have you, it seems whoever is
at the plate for Burlingame moves
the runners along.
We have a lot of condence in
everybody (to get the job done),
said Nick Waldsmith, who was 1 for
2 with two runs driven in and two
runs scored. Were a scrappy team.
Everybody can run the bases. You
dont always need the big hit.
That was evidenced Wednesday
when Burlingame scored 13 runs on
11 hits, but only three batters
recorded RBI. In addition to
Waldsmiths RBI, Blake Mori added
a two-run single in the third and
Merrick Belding singled home a run
in the rst.
The Panthers also took advantage
of nearly all the gifts Hillsdale (3-
10, 9-16) gave them. Burlingame
scored four runs on wild pitches and
six of the seven Panthers who drew
walks eventually came around to
score.
We do the little things, said
Panthers
clinch PAL
Bay crown
NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL
Burlingames Blake Mori singles home two runs during the Panthers 13-1 win over Hillsdale Wednesday, which
clinched the Bay Division title.
R
emember all the hoopla surround-
ing the Central Coast Section foot-
ball playoffs brackets last fall
when a team like Terra Nova was forced
into the Open Division while Open
Division staple Serra opted to play (and

Well, it hasnt been
completely xed and
PAL fans may ulti-
mately be unhappy,
but the new system
put in place by CCS
will make most high
school football fans
satised.
Keep in mind, this
was all done for the
greater good of CCS.
With the advent of the
state championship
bowl games and, beginning next season,

a change of heart by the schools in the

the Open Division title being the ultimate
prize, the goal is now the state champi-
onship game. Staying in a schools division

MIAMI Jeremy Lin knows he would
have been rusty and probably not in great
shape if he tried to play for the New York
Knicks in this playoff series against the
Miami Heat.
He could handle those things.
What he couldnt handle was the unknown,
that being how much his surgically repaired
left knee could handle if he tried to play too
soon.
So with the Knicks already having lost
guards Baron Davis and Iman Shumpert to
serious knee injuries already in this series
theres little chance Davis will play at all next
season, and Shumperts availability for the
start of next season would be considered high-
ly doubtful at best Lin erred on the side of
caution by not rushing a comeback against the
Heat, a move that neither risks his knee or his
earning potential this summer as a restricted
free agent.
Im mostly worried about just not having
to suffer a real setback, which would be a new
knee injury, Lin said Wednesday morning in
Miami, where the Knicks were preparing for a
win-or-else Game 5 of their Eastern
Conference rst-round series against the Heat.
New York lost 106-94, ending its season.
The Knicks ended all questions about Lins
status on Tuesday, when interim coach Mike
Woodson said that the guard who exploded
onto the NBA scene with a dazzling series of
games in February will not play against the
Heat, regardless of how long the series would
last.
Lin has been trying to speed his recovery
for a couple weeks, working out several times
in Miami around Games 1 and 2, then trying
to go through a full-speed workout earlier this
week in New York. That one didnt go well,
with Lin who thought there was a chance
he could possibly play against Miami say-
ing afterward he felt pain and soreness in the
knee.
There was nothing to set it back, Lin said.
I think to get from 85 percent to 100 percent
Lin wasnt willing to risk a knee setback
Im mostly
worried about
a new knee injury.
I think to get from
85 perce nt to 100
percent takes
more time than I
thought.

LONDON Manchester City always
seems to be second best in its own backyard,
like a little brother overshadowed by his big-
ger and stronger sibling.
Hes already done the things you want to
do, and has done them better anyway. And
when you nally do something he hasnt
done? Well, hed probably beat that, too.
In Englands third biggest city, Manchester
United always seems to one-up Manchester
City.
What happened when City won its most
recent English league title in 1968? United
won the European Cup, the most prestigious
trophy in club soccer.
The season City was promoted to the
Premier League after four years away? United
won it, for the 13th of its 19 league titles.
That time City convinced Argentina striker
Carlos Tevez to ditch United and move across
town? United still beat City in the League Cup
seminals, and went on to win the trophy.
Uniteds dominance over its neighbor was
even on display at Old Trafford, the stadium
nicknamed the Theatre of Dreams. Hanging
from the stands was an annually updated ban-
ner counting the years it had reached 34
when it was nally brought down last season
since City last won a trophy of any kind.

OAKLAND On a day Oakland struggled
to generate much offense, the Athletics were
thrilled to learn after the game that cleanup
hitter Yoenis Cespedes has only a strained
muscle on the top of his left hand and no bro-
ken bone.
I am very happy to know it is not a signif-
icant injury, said the Cuban slugger, who
might try to hit before Thursdays series open-
er with the Detroit Tigers to determine his
availability.
Brandon Morrow (4-1) struck out a season-
high 10 in six innings and won his fourth
straight start, outpitching former college
teammate Tyson Ross in Torontos 5-2 win
Wednesday. He was backed by three home
runs, including Adam Linds two-run drive in
the fourth to put his team on the board.
It was a matchup of former college stars
from nearby California who pitched together
in 2006. Morrow went a career-best 23 2-3
innings without allowing a run before Jonny
Gomes hit an RBI single in the fth for
Oaklands rst run. Josh Reddick singled in a
run in the seventh.
J.P. Arencibia homered leading off the sev-
enth, this time coming through with a key hit
in a close game. Manager John Farrell lifted
him for pinch-hitter Omar Vizquel with the
go-ahead run on third in the ninth inning of
Tuesday nights 7-3 loss so delivering this
time had to be a nice boost.
Edwin Encarnacion started the eighth with
his 10th homer, ending an 0-for-21 funk and
helping Toronto snap a three-game skid on the
heels of a four-game winning streak. Colby
Rasmus had an RBI single in the sixth that
chased Ross (1-3).
Oakland didnt do much against Morrow,
but received good news about Cespedes. He
was scratched about an hour before Tuesdays
game after injuring the hand in batting prac-
tice.
Thats great more so for peace of mind for
the entire team, Brandon Inge said. You
dont want to lose a bat like that.
Five of Morrows Ks came on called third
strikes and he owns a sparkling 0.67 ERA
during the four-start winning streak, allowing
two earned runs over 27 2-3 innings.
He wasnt happy with four walks half of
his eight coming into this start. He had walked
only one batter over his previous three out-
ings.
I wasnt as sharp as I have been. I walked
too many guys and it hurt me in the fth. I
didnt have a good slider today and that prob-
ably affected things. My stuff was still good,
he said. Its always fun to come here. I
always have family and friends who show up.
I got a few texts from my coaches at Cal and
then there are friends who show up unan-
nounced.
The As couldnt pull off the late-game rally
this time. Oakland took the opener of the
quick two-game series on Inges game-ending
grand slam against Francisco Cordero, who
was demoted from his closer job before
Wednesdays game. Handed the ninth-inning
duties by Farrell, Casey Janssen nished with
a 1-2-3 ninth for his rst save in two tries this
year.
Farrell also dropped Lind to the eighth hole
in the batting order to try to generate some
offense. Lind who came in hitless in seven
at-bats, with just two hits in his past 29 at-bats
and mired in a 5-for-37 funk overall sin-
gled in the second and put his team ahead
with a two-run drive into the right-field
bleachers.
Adam responded well to the move in the
lineup, Farrell said. It was just nice to score
some runs.

LOS ANGELES Pinch-hitter Tony Gwynn
Jr. hit a go-ahead three-run triple off Tim
Lincecum, one inning after San Franciscos Nate
Schierholtz ran into a critical out that helped kill
a Giants rally and the rst-place Los Angeles
Dodgers went on to a 6-2 victory Wednesday
night.
The Dodgers have won six of their past seven
series at home heading into a day off Thursday
before Colorado arrives for a weekend series.
Jamey Wright (2-2) pitched two perfect
innings and struck out two for the victory.
Lincecum (2-3) gave up four runs and eight
hits in ve innings. He struck out eight, includ-
ing NL home run leader Matt Kemp three times,
and walked two in losing for the rst time since
April 16 against Philadelphia.
The right-hander extended his winless streak
against the Dodgers to 0-4 dating to last season.
The two-time NL Cy Young winner has been
especially hard-hit in the rst inning, but he got
out of that having allowed just two hits.
Kemp, who came in batting .500 in his 11
previous home games against the Giants, went
0 for 5.
The Dodgers struck for four runs in the fourth
to take a 4-2 lead. Lincecum gave up a leadoff
double to Andre Ethier and Bobby Abreu fol-
lowed with a single. Juan Uribe drove in Ethier
with a single to third that Joaquin Arias, who fell
down before he could get off the throw to rst.
A.J. Ellis walked one out later and Gwynn
cleared the bases with a drive into deep right
eld while batting for Chad Billingsley.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Big Ten
Commissioner Jim Delany, who has
oated ideas for how a four-team col-
lege football playoff should be set up,
said Wednesday that any new format
shouldnt include a team that doesnt
win its division.
I dont have a lot of regard for that
team, Delany said in a telephone inter-
view with the Associated Press. I cer-
tainly wouldnt have as much regard
for that team as I would for someone
who played nine conference games in a
tough conference and played a couple
out-of-conference games on the road
against really good opponents. If a poll
doesnt honor those teams and theyre
conference champions, I do.
Alabama nished behind LSU in the
SEC West last season, but the Crimson
Tide got a spot in the Bowl
Championship Series title game and
beat the Tigers.
Delany insisted he isnt pushing for a
particular format to be implemented for
the 2014 season. He said a proposal
that would put four conference champi-
ons, ranked among the top six, into the
four-team playoff was simply an idea
he discussed with reporters last week in
Chicago.
Some people think it should just be
the top four teams; some people think it
should just be the four highest-rated
champions, Delany said. I was just
oating some ideas of how you might
have a hybrid where champions were
respected and there was still room for
at-large.
The polls dont always measure
strength of schedule. Some confer-
ences are playing nine games, some are
playing eight. The Pac-12 is playing
nine and then to go out and play a
round-robin game against us, thats 10
and some of them are going to play
Notre Dame thats 11 difcult
games. If theyre ranked fth in the
country and they won a conference
championship, I think thats quite an
accomplishment. Some teams dont
even win their own division. They start-
ed off highly in the rankings, lose early,
dont play a championship game and
they might end up at four.
BCS Executive Director Bill
Hancock has said 11 conference com-
missioners and Notre Dames athletic
director will present a small number
of options two to seven congura-
tions for a four-team playoff to their
leagues at conference meetings.
The group of decision-makers will
gather again in June, attempting to
agree on a nal version for university
presidents to potentially approve by
July 4.

SAN FRANCISCO The Pac-12
picked three familiar faces to be the
rst on-air talent hired for the confer-
ences new television networks.
Hall of Fame football player
Ronnie Lott, Olympic gold medal
swimmer Summer Sanders and Rose
Bowl-winning quarterback and coach
Rick Neuheisel were hired
Wednesday as analysts for the Pac-12
Networks, which launches in August.
Lott played four years at Southern
California, helping the Trojans win
two Rose Bowls and a share of the
1978 national title. He played on four
Super Bowl winners with San
Francisco during his 14-year NFL
career. He has previously worked as
an NFL analyst with Fox.
Its a dream come true, Lott said.
We get a chance to talk about the
best conference and the conference
that has the most championships, and
we get the chance to do it in every-
bodys living room.
Sanders won six NCAA individual
titles, two NCAA Swimmer of the
Year honors and helped Stanford win
the 1992 national championship dur-
ing her two years with the Cardinal.
She won four medals at the 1992
Olympics, including gold in the 200-
meter buttery and 400 IM and has
had a long career in television.
Neuheisel, a former walk-on at
UCLA, helped the Bruins win the
1984 Rose Bowl.

DOHA, Qatar For Justin Gatlin, Doha
will always be the place he made history
even if his record is no longer in the books.
The American tied Asafa Powells then-
world record in the 100 meters by running 9.77
seconds in May, 2006. It was initially clocked
at 9.76 before a timing error was discovered
four days later.
However, the revised time was erased after
he tested positive for excessive levels of testos-
terone two months later.
Now 30, Gatlin doesnt want to dwell on the
four-year ban that followed, instead preferring
to remember a magical night. The 2004
Olympic gold medalist will race against
Powell and Nesta Carter at the season-opening
Diamond League meet on Friday.
Its a very special place for me, Gatlin said
Wednesday. The night that I broke the world
record was a magical night.
Running the rst round and basically equal-
ing my PR, and coming back and knowing the
second round could be faster with a better
effort. I could see history being made on the
track before long. Hopefully, coming into the
race in a couple of days, I can do the same
thing.
Much has changed since he returned to the
track in July 2010, with Usain Bolt winning
the 100 title among three Olympic gold medals
and smashing the world record in a blistering
9.58 seconds.
Gatlin matured in his time away from the
sport and has a son who is about to turn 2. At
an age when most sprinters are contemplating
retirement, Gatlin deed the odds to win the
60-meter race at the world indoor champi-
onships in March.
I think Ive become more of a man, he
said. Im wiser, older, and
I think I take competition
more seriously.
To be able to come back
and show that I can win a
championship, regardless
of whether its outdoors or
indoors, against some good
competition and put anoth-
er gold medal under my
name was a good stepping
point coming into the outdoor season. It was-
nt surreal. It was more a welcome home party.
I felt good when I crossed that nishing line.
Gatlin has his sights set on the London
Olympics and Bolt.
Watching him perform great feats, its
breathtaking, Gatlin said. But at the same
time, he is a man and he still breathes the same
air I breath. He still takes two steps to get to the
line, like I take two steps to get to the line.
Should he qualify, Gatlin said he wont feel
any shame about his past. Hes also pleased
that British sprinter Dwain Chambers has a
chance of competing in his home Olympics.
Chambers served a two-year suspension
after testing positive for a steroid in 2003. He
was then banned for life from the games by the
British Olympic Association. But sports top
court recently overturned such bans, ruling
they amount to a second sanction.
I just feel that whatever time we served,
innocent or guilty, we served that time. To be
back in the sport and then to take that privilege
away from us ... is unjust, Gatlin said.
As an adult and father, Im happy that he is
able to provide for his family, to be able to go
out there and do what he loves to do. Its going
to be in his own backyard. It would have been
very bitter for him not to compete at the
Olympics in his own backyard.

SAN ANTONIO The San Antonio Spurs
fretted all season about not getting enough
rest.
Now they might get a little too much.
Dominating Utah in a four-game sweep
reasserted the top-seeded Spurs as a front-run-
ning contender for a fth NBA championship,
but quickly ousting the Jazz has also left San
Antonio with potentially plenty of time to kill
while waiting for the Western Conference
seminals.
We just want to keep our rhythm and keep
our conditioning as best we can, Spurs coach
Gregg Popovich said Wednesday.
The Spurs will play either Memphis or the
Los Angeles Clippers, who led that series 3-1
heading into Wednesday night. Regardless
how long that series goes, the Spurs arent
likely to host Game 1 until Saturday at the ear-
liest and Tuesday at the latest.
San Antonio finished off the Jazz on
Monday. The Spurs practiced Wednesday for
the rst time since then, and guard Manu
Ginobili expressed no qualms about taking an
extended break following a lockout-shortened
season that the Spurs ended by playing 16
games in 23 days.
Far as Ginobili is concerned, the Grizzlies
and Clippers can take their time.
I think I prefer a long series. Whoever wins
gets a little more tired, Ginobili said.
One upside of the layoff is that the Spurs
worked in 5-on-5 practices Wednesday for the
rst time since the All-Star break. Yet the time
off also puts Popovich in an ironic predica-
ment after the NBA coach of the year so
obsessively managed minutes, particularly
those of his Big Three. Tim Duncan, Ginobili
and Tony Parker were twice benched this sea-
son while the Spurs boasted 11-game winning
streaks, simply because Popovich didnt want
to wear them out.
Those winning streaks predictably ended
both times, but Popovich ended the season
getting what he wanted: everyone healthy.
Now the challenge is keeping the rust off.
Its an issue microphones caught the Spurs
grappling with on the court even during the
Jazz series. When Popovich rst tried sitting
Parker for good during a 31-point blowout in
Game 2 telling his All-Star that hed be up
to 29 minutes if he nished the third quarter
his point guard balked at the idea.
I didnt play for three days, Pop, Parker
pleaded. Im 29 years old.
Parker said afterward he just wanted to keep
his conditioning. On Wednesday, Ginobili
said the biggest concern is not losing momen-
tum built during a 14-game winning streak,
which ranks among the six longest winning
streaks sustained into the NBA playoffs since
1986. The longest streak is 19 set by the
Lakers in 2001.
You prefer not to wait for eight days
because you lose your rhythm a little. But its
not something that bad, Ginobili said. And
you got the opportunity to prepare a little bit
more for whoever youre going to play.
Individually, you can work on things you have
time to work on. So you gain in some regards,
and you lose a little rhythm.

Hargrove disappointed
NFL discussed his statement
NEW ORLEANS Suspended former
Saints defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove
says he is disappointed his sworn statement
regarding the NFLs bounty investigation was
leaked and also that the league has grossly mis-
characterized his words.
In a statement emailed to The Associated
Press on Wednesday by his agent, Phil Williams,
Hargrove said he hoped the NFL would not dis-
cuss the signed declaration publicly.
Call me naive, but I did not expect them to
publicize the fact that I had sent them the
Declaration. But since they did, and because
they grossly mischaracterized my words, it obvi-
ously became a hot item and subsequently was
leaked by someone, Hargroves statement said.
Hargroves declaration explains how ex-
Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams
and current assistant head coach Joe Vitt
instructed him to deny the existence of a bounty
program in New Orleans when he was inter-
viewed by NFL investigators in March of 2010.
Hargrove acknowledges that he acted on

Burlingame manager Shawn Scott. Move
people up 90 feet at a time.
Add in the pitching of Grant Goodman and
the Panthers will be a hard team to beat once
CCS rolls around. Goodman had another
strong outing in a string of them, pitching ve
innings of two-hit ball. While he did walk six,
he also struck out eight.
Hillsdale put together back-to-back hits in
the rst inning Harry Shannon singled and
Conner Wallace chased him home with a dou-
ble but those would be the only two hits the
Knights would have all day long. After that
rst inning, the Knights managed to get only
one more runner as far as third base and only
three others as far as second.
He made a lot of quality pitches, said
Hillsdale manager Neal Donahoe.
Added Scott: Hes had a phenomenal year
for us.
Dino Landucci IV pitched the nal two
innings and nished the game with a ourish,
striking out ve of the seven batters he faced.
Burlingame wasted little time in setting the
tone, scoring four times in the rst inning.
Waldsmith drew a bases-loaded walk to drive
in Mike Franco and Merrick Belding later
scored on a wild pitch. Dean Aliamus and
Waldsmith ended up scoring when Moris
popup into shallow right eld was dropped.
Following a scoreless second inning, the
Panthers increased their lead to 7-1 with three
more runs in the third. Waldsmith scored on a
wild pitch and Mori drove in a pair with a
chopper up the middle past Hillsdales drawn-
in ineld.
Burlingame scored two unearned runs in the
fourth and put the game away with a four-run
fth with Waldsmith driving in a pair of runs
with a single to left. Belding also had an RBI
and yet another run scored on a wild pitch.
We didnt come out and do the thing we
needed to do to win, Donahoe said.
[Burlingame] took advantage. They did the
little things well.

of enrollment may help accomplish that goal.
Beginning next season, CCS has put a sys-
tem in place it believes will have all the top
teams playing in the Open Division, although
it may hurt the PAL. CCS has decided that
the champions of all the A leagues
those leagues found to have the strongest
teams in the section will automatically be
put in the Open Division. The other three
spots will then be lled by the next three
teams with the most power points.
The ve automatic bids will come from the
WCAL, the Santa Clara Valley Athletic
Leagues De Anza Division (which features
the likes of Palo Alto and Los Gatos), the
Blossom Valley Athletic Leagues Mount
Hamilton Division (with Oak Grove), a
newly recongured Tri-County
Athletic/Monterey Bay Athletic leagues
(which features Palma) and the PALs
Bay Division.
While the Bay Division champion may be
the best team in the PAL, this new system all
but assures the PAL champ will rarely win a
CCS title.
The term we used (during a PAL coaches
meeting) was someone was going to have to
fall on the sword, said Steve Sell, Aragons
athletic director, football coach and a mem-
ber of the CCS committee that makes these
kind of decisions.
With the new system, CCS is attempting to
keep as many of the WCAL schools in the
Open Division as possible, which would
open up the other divisions to public schools
theoretically anyway.
To make sure the WCAL is well represent-
ed in the Open Division, CCS created an A-
plus league, meaning teams will pick up an
extra half point for every WCAL opponent
they play. For the teams in the WCAL, it
means before the season even starts, they are
assured of having 10 1/2 power points.
By doing that, that will get [the WCALs]
second-place team into the Open Division
and the third-place team and maybe even
their fourth-place team, Sell said.
Sell admitted its a great feeling to win a
CCS game, but he also realizes that, with the
Bay Division champ being an automatic
qualier, it will take a very special team to
not only win a rst-round matchup, but a
CCS Open Division title.
But Sell still sees a lot of value in winning
a Bay Division crown.
When you win a Bay Division champi-
onship, youre the best in San Mateo
County, Sell said. To a lot of people, that
still means a lot.
If someone said to me, youre going to
win the Bay Division championship and lose
in the rst round of CCS, Id take it.
Well see how long that sentiment remains
in the PAL as their best gets consistently
thumped playing in the Open Division.
But who knows? Sell believes Terra Nova,
which was pulled up into the Open last year,
had a good chance against any team other
than the one the Tigers were paired with:
Bellarmine, which was among the best in the
nation last year.
Sell and the Dons have had their taste of
Open Division play, going three straight
years in the mid 2000s and even recorded
one of the biggest upsets in Open Division
history when the 2004 team beat Serra in
overtime.
People still talk to me about that game,
Sell said. I didnt play into (the sentiment)
that playing in the Open Division is a fate
worse than death.

takes more time than I may have thought.
Lins story was quite probably the NBAs
most unexpected all season. He scored a total
of 32 points in New Yorks rst 22 games, not
getting any time in 13 of those and logging
more than seven minutes only once.
His rst breakout moment came Feb. 4 at
Madison Square Garden, coming off the
bench to score 25 points in 36 minutes. Lin
started New Yorks next 25 games after that,
scoring 161 points in his rst six starts includ-
ing a 38-point effort topping Kobe Bryants
output that night by four in a win over the
Los Angeles Lakers, then hitting the game-
winning 3-pointer on the Knicks nal shot as
they rallied past Toronto 90-87 on Feb. 14.
Linsanity was all the rage, though it quieted
down considerably after the Heat held him to
a 1-for-11, eight-point night in the nal game
for both teams before the All-Star break. And
the Lin buzz was then completely silenced by
a cartilage tear a month later.
Its widely believed Lin gures prominently
in New Yorks plans, and hes ne if thats the
case.
Im denitely comfortable here, Lin said.
I love playing in New York. I love the fans.
They gave me a chance. They believed in me.
Thats why Im here today. I owe a lot to this
organization.

league. After decades of watching its biggest rival
lift trophy after trophy, City can win the English
Premier League title in its nal match of the sea-
son with a victory against struggling Queens Park
Rangers.
I came to City to make history, said Yaya
Toure, the driving force in Citys mideld. I
want to win it for our fans.
Satisfyingly for those fans, there is almost no
chance of being upstaged this time because of
Uniteds failure to win the Champions League or
either of Englands domestic cup competitions.
Instead, City can become English champion for
the rst time in 44 years and leave United empty-
handed for the rst time in seven seasons a
remarkable reversal in a city where red has been
the color of success for more than a generation.
Forty-four years is unbelievable, Toure said.
It is too many years.
The difference these days, of course, is money.
Citys abundance of it and Uniteds lack of it.
While United is still paying interest on debt
incurred in the 2005 takeover by the Glazer fam-
ily that also owns the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
City has spent about $635 million on new players

a member of the Abu Dhabi ruling family.
No one can match their nancial resources.
No one, United manager Alex Ferguson said.
We have to accept that and try to do things in a
different way.
Its a head-spinning turnaround for fans who
watched as United won two Champions League
titles, 12 Premier League trophies, eight FA Cups
and four League Cups since City was last cham-
pion of England.
Even then, years before anyone on the current
squad was born, George Best and Bobby
Charlton were doing their best to upstage their
neighbors. With Best and Charlton leading the
way, United beat Benca 4-1 to win the
European Cup two weeks after City complet-
ed its last championship season.
But Citys spell as a contender didnt last long,
and the club spent much of the 1980s and 90s
bouncing like a yo-yo between the top two divi-
sions. Only 14 years ago, City became the rst
former winner of a European competition to fall
into its countrys third-tier league.
United fans were almost too busy to stop and
laugh, with Ferguson on his way to making the
Red Devils the most successful club England has
ever seen. Ferguson has regarded Liverpool,
Leeds, Arsenal and even Chelsea as more impor-
tant rivals to United and only recently upgraded
City from noisy neighbors to direct oppo-
nents.
At the moment, both City and United have 83

NATION/WORLD
CAIRO Al-Qaidas leader has urged
Muslims to take revenge for the February burn-
ing of Quran Muslim holy books at a U.S. air
base in Afghanistan.
Ayman al-Zawahri posted an audio on a mil-
itant website on Wednesday.
He called on Muslims to avenge the burning
by ghting those aggressors who occupied
your countries, stole your wealth and violated
your sanctities.
The recording was released by Al-Sahab, al-
Qaidas media arm, and reported by the SITE
Intelligence Group, which
monitors militant messages.
The U.S. apologized,
saying the Islamic texts
were mistakenly sent to a
garbage burn pit. Deadly
protests raged in
Afghanistan for six days
afterward.
Al-Zawahri said the
Americans and their allies
commit crimes and then
pretend to be sorry. He
called that a silly farce.
Al-Qaida leader: Avenge
Afghan Quran burning
Ayman
al-Zawahri
By Kimberly Dozier
WASHINGTON A decade after hijack-
ers mostly from Saudi Arabia attacked the
United States with passenger jets, the Saudis
have emerged as the principal ally of the U.S.
against al-Qaidas spinoff group in Yemen
and at least twice have disrupted plots to
explode sophisticated bombs aboard airlines.
Details emerging about the latest unraveled
plot revealed that a Saudi double agent fooled
the terror group, known as al-Qaida in the
Arabian Peninsula, passing himself off as an
eager would-be suicide bomber. Instead, he
secretly turned over the groups most up-to-
date underwear bomb to Saudi Arabia, which
gave it to the CIA. Before he was whisked to
safety, the spy provided intelligence that
helped the CIA kill al-Qaidas senior opera-
tions leader, Fahd al-Quso, who died in a
drone strike last weekend.
The role of Saudi Arabia disrupting the plot
follows warnings in 2010 from the oil-rich
kingdom about a plot to blow up cargo planes
inside the U.S., either on runways or over
American cities. That plot involved a frantic
chase across ve countries of two packages
containing bombs powerful enough to down
an airplane. Twice, a bomb was aboard a pas-
senger plane. Once, authorities were just
minutes too late to stop a cargo jet with a
bomb from departing for its next destination.
Ultimately, no one died and the packages
never exploded.
It hasnt always been this way.
Saudi Arabia, the one-time home of Osama
bin Laden, failed to spot and stop the 15
Saudi-born hijackers of the 19 who carried
out the September 2001 terror attacks.
Questions remain whether two Saudi citizens
who had at least indirect links with two of the
hijackers were reporting to Saudi government
officials. U.S. law enforcement officials
accused the Saudi government of failing to
help adequately in investigations of the al-
Qaida attack on the USS Cole in Yemen in
2000 and Hezbollahs bombing of the Khobar
Towers housing complex, which killed 19
U.S. servicemen in 1996.
But a series of devastating al-Qaida strikes
against Saudi targets in 2003 and more
recently, fears al-Qaida could try to trigger
Arab Spring-style revolts in the kingdom, has
energized the Saudi government in its war
against al-Qaidas spinoff in Yemen, which is
composed mostly of ex-Saudi militants.
Saudi Arabia and the U.S. with help from
Yemens government have joined forces to
penetrate the terror group at the highest lev-
els. Drone strikes have killed U.S.-born
Anwar al-Awlaki last summer and al-Quso,
his successor, more recently.
Al-Quso personally briefed the Saudi dou-
ble agent, giving him open-ended instruc-
tions to pick a U.S.-bound plane on a day of
his choosing. Al-Quso was hit in part due to
information gleaned from the double-agent,
according to two former ofcials, speaking
on condition of anonymity to preserve their
ability to discuss details of current intelli-
gence matters with current ofcials.
FBI Director Robert Mueller said
Wednesday that the FBI is examining the new
al-Qaida bomb and urged Congress to renew
wide-ranging surveillance authority to thwart
similar terrorism plots.
The FBI is attempting to replicate bomb,
trying to determine how destructive the bomb
would have been and how easy it would be
for AQAP to build another. The device is al-
Qaidas 2.0 version of the underwear bomb
that very nearly brought down a Detroit-
bound airliner on Christmas Day in 2009.
This one was also nonmetallic, but is less
bulky than the previous version, now shaped
to t nearly invisibly inside underwear to
escape detection by security pat downs, two
ofcials said.
Its trigger mechanism was also improved,
replacing the flawed trigger design that
failed to ignite the explosives in the previous
attack.
The bomb bears the hallmarks of al-
Qaidas master bomb maker Ibrahim Hassan
al-Asiri , or one of his protigis, multiple of-
cials say. U.S. ofcials had hoped the bomber
was killed in the strike last year on al-Awlaki,
but evidence emerged he was still around
ahead of the one-year anniversary of the
Navy SEAL raid that killed bin Laden.
So Asiri is likely still out there, and he can
still build these, or teach others to build
them, said House Intelligence Committee
member Adam Schiff, D-Calif. So its not as
though we can rest any easier.

Mothers Day
donts: Cougar
shirts, sex toys
By Leanne Italie
NEW YORK What were they thinking?
Through plastic smiles or gritted teeth, moms
have to suck it up sometimes when Mothers
Day means a gifted toilet, unsolicited wash
tub or anti-aging cream.
It wouldnt be Mothers Day if some mom
somewhere wasnt disappointed or downright
piqued at gift time. Many arent looking to
break the bank, though the National Retail
Federation expects Americans to spend $19
billion on the holiday this year. But unre-
quested sex toys? A chainsaw?
Dave Hochman learned the hard way last
year when he presented his ve-years-older
wife with a Cougar T-shirt, a freebie from a
client, no less.
While she does have a great sense of
humor, lets just say it wasnt the best idea
Ive ever had, said Hochman, in Monmouth,
N.J.
Glenna Toomans uh-oh moment was when
her now-grown son, Bill, was 10 or 11. He
disappeared on his bike in Boise, Idaho, only
to return with a Mothers Day gift that kept on
giving, a tiny bunny.
I was very surprised. Its the last thing
youd expect for Mothers Day, she said. He
spent his allowance money on it. We named
him Garfunkel. We had him for years.
A rabbit might be better than what a good
chunk of moms surveyed in March by the
website Cafemom received last year
absolutely nothing. And, while vacuums have
come a long way in design and efciency, they
still ranked among the worst Mothers Day
gifts ever received.
So do unrequested sex toys, guys. Like the
vibrator an exhausted Ashley Largent
home with a 7-month-old got for her rst
Mothers Day in 2004, from her now ex-hus-
band.
That was the only present I ever received
from him for Mothers Day, said Largent, in
Gaffney, S.C. After that I told him that I did-
nt want anything.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
If this is the rst year you have decided to
plant a vegetable garden of your own, con-
gratulations! I can almost guarantee your
labors will be fruitful.
Growing a few vegetables in your yard will
not only save you a few bucks at the grocery
store; the difference in taste between store
bought vegetables and those picked moments
before you eat them will astound you.
As is the case with fresh cut owers, the
expiration clock begins ticking on vegetables
as soon as they are picked. The less time
between harvest and table, the better the taste.
Most of us recognize the difference in taste
between sun-ripened tomatoes purchased at a
roadside stand during the summer months and
those purchased in the dead of winter from
our local grocer.
There is such contrast in taste that it is hard
to fathom that they are the same fruit. The dis-
parity in taste comes mainly from the fact that
winter tomatoes are shipped from places as far
away as Mexico.
If you are new to gardening, you may be
under the impression that you have to wait
until the weather warms up considerably
before you can plant a garden. Not so. Many
vegetables, including some of the most avor-
ful, prefer to grow during the coolest parts of
the year.
It helps to think of edible plants in terms of
cool-weather lovers and warm-weather lovers.
Plants such as lettuces, radishes, spinach,
broccoli, potatoes, peas, fava beans, cabbage,
radicchio, arugula, mesclun greens and
Brussels sprouts all love the cool crisp air of
early spring. These plants and several others
grow best when night temperatures are some-
where between freezing and 50 degrees and
temperatures during the day are between 45
and 60 degrees hardly beach weather.
For most of us, temperatures like that
require at least a light jacket or sweater, and
we tend not to think about planting a garden
when temperatures dip below 60.
Other plants such as tomatoes, peppers,
eggplant, beans and squash prefer warm days
and nighttime temperatures consistently
above 55 degrees. These heat lovers thrive
when the soil warms and will grow like gang-
busters during the hot days of summer.
For some reason most gardeners have heard
the old saying about waiting until after
Memorial Day to plant a garden.
While this is good advice for most tender
warm-loving plants like tomatoes, peppers
and impatiens, waiting until the end of May to
plant cool weather crops means a missed
opportunity; planting them so late in the sea-
son means temperatures will soon be too
warm for them to grow well.
If you need a light jacket or a sweater when
you leave the house tomorrow morning, it
may be the perfect time for you to begin plant-
ing your vegetable garden.
Many of the cool-weather plants I listed
above are sensitive to freezing temperatures,
which are possible in some parts of the coun-
try at this time of year. Most, however, will
survive even heavy frosts when covered with a
readily available fabric called remay.
Remay is a white, lightweight spun fabric
that is often referred to by farmers as row-
cover. This inexpensive fabric is easy to apply
and is usually enough to ward off the damag-
ing effects of below freezing spring tempera-
tures.
If you spent last winter dreaming about
growing your own vegetables, dont wait any
longer. Take advantage of the crisp spring air,
and start planting cool loving crops today. The
sooner you get started, the sooner youll be
enjoying produce from your own backyard.
Never gardened? What a year tostart!

Now is the time to plant garden crops such as lettuce.

as The House that Bob Built because
of the effort he put into seeing that proj-
ect completed. In 1990, San Bruno
established its Sister City relationship
with Narita, Japan. Marshall was instru-
mental in getting the agreement signed,
and to this day the International relation-
ship between the two cities still stands.
His daughter Anne Oliva described
Marshall as the most inuential person
in her life and the lives of many of her
siblings.
Beyond San Bruno, my dad was
probably one of the most generous men.
He never said no to a cause, she said,
whether they needed time or money.
She recalled the number of teams he
sponsored and fundraiser meals the fam-
ily attended because of her dads gener-
ous nature. As a result, the outpouring of
support from others since her dad died
has been amazing, she said.
He was a former district governor for
District 4-C4 for the Lions Club, former
president of the San Bruno Lions Club, a
life member of the San Bruno Chamber
of Commerce, a founding member of the
Peninsula Bank of Commerce and a for-
mer president of the North County
Board of Realtors.
He was a friend, mentor and inspira-
tion. He supported our community
unconditionally. He was generous
beyond all means, rarely saying no to
any request. I am proud to have followed
his example as an elected ofcial and a
Lion. San Bruno will never be the same
without him, however he will live on in
many of us, said San Bruno
Councilman Ken Ibarra.
Marshall was also Realtor Emeritus
with the National Association of
Realtors and the San Mateo County
Association of Realtors, Realtor of the
Year and, most recently, awarded the
Community Service Award.
Mayor Jim Ruane had a personal rela-
tionship with Marshall since their chil-
dren grew up together.
This is a huge loss for the communi-
ty and a huge loss for me and my fami-
ly. He was a huge part of San Bruno,
said Ruane. He will be sorely missed.
He was very, very special.
Marshall attended grammar school at
Corpus Christi and Sacred Heart High
School in San Francisco where he has
many lifelong friends. His second home
in St. Helena was a familiar stop for his
many friends. He loved drop ins and
entertaining his St. Helena friends.
Marshall was a very generous man and
admired by all who knew him.
Marshall is survived by his wife Paula,
daughter Anne Oliva (Jose), sons Bob Jr.
(Marilyn), John (Gaby) and Stephan
(Haydee) and Papo to Joey, Marco,
Francesca, Marian, Bobby, Brittni,
Johnny, Blanca, Elissia and Paulina. He
was preceded in death by his parents, Al
and Lorene Marshall, and his brothers,
Don and Rich Marshall.
Family and friends are invited to visit
after 6 p.m. Friday, May 11 at St.
Roberts Church, 1380 Crystal Springs
Road, San Bruno where the vigil service
will begin at 7 p.m. The funeral mass
will be celebrated 2:30 p.m. Saturday,
May 12 also at St. Roberts Church.
Services will conclude at the church. In
lieu of owers, donations can be made to
the Hannah Boys Center or Lions Eye

forgiven her for a particular Mothers Day gift: A plastic wash
tub with dish gloves and a scrub brush, all from the dollar
store.
Said her mom, Bev Cundle, in Leeds: What can I say? How
does a mother smile through gritted teeth. A washing bowl in
blue, not my favorite color, a square shape to t in a round
sink! And a brush to clean out mugs. How do you make it dis-
appear?
Other, er, unusual items to make the worst-gift list at
Cafemom: a Cuban cigar and stale candy left over from Easter.
One mom, RoseMarie Luevano in San Antonio, Texas,
received a chainsaw two years ago.
My husband had been wanting it so he kept telling his fam-
ily about it, but they thought it was me (who wanted it) and
Mothers Day was just around the corner, she said. I really
wanted a certicate for a spa.
Becky Jackson has no use for fussy spas, owers or jewel-
ry. She lives on a ranch in Lewistown, Mont., and her jaw
dropped a few years ago when her husband presented her with
a long, nicely wrapped cardboard box that screamed long-
stem roses.
I tried to hide my disappointment as I slowly undid the rib-
bon and wrapping paper, trying to gure out how, after almost
20 years of marriage to my rancher husband, he still didnt
know I wasnt big on owers, Jackson said.
Inside was a new .22-caliber rie, perfect for packing
around on my four-wheeler to help rid our ranch of pesky crit-
ters, she said.
Big boxes aside, moms surveyed by the site PlumDistrict
said theyd choose handmade gifts over store-bought ones.
And while breakfast in bed is a sweet gesture, theyd choose
another one: sleeping in.
In potentially difcult news for any eager gift-giver now
scratching the chainsaw off his list, the surveyed moms also
agreed theyd rather not have to be in on buying their own
Mothers Day gift.
Judith Schmelzinger in Hamburg, N.Y., might be the excep-
tion to that rule. She accepted a toilet in 2010, when there was
no money for romantic extras for her rst Mothers Day.
Thats what we needed at the time, she said grimly.
Nancy Nolan recalls a useless but memorable gift 40 years
ago, when her husband took their then 6-year-old son shopping
for a Mothers Day gift and returned with a jar of cream to fade
age spots.
She was only 28.
I just hugged him and thanked him for the wonderful gift,
she said, and he just beamed. He was so proud.

the time is unclear. However, she later
told someone he had cheated on her, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Rivera reportedly knocked on the rst-
oor bedroom window of Riveras San
Mateo home at approximately 2 a.m. and
asked to talk about their relationship. He
sent her away but she returned with the
same request about an hour later,
Wagstaffe said.
At 5:45 a.m., the man awoke to his bed
on re around him and screamed for his
father who put out the ames with a gar-
den hose. The victim later told authori-
ties he did not alert police or re because
he believed Rivera was responsible but
didnt think he could prove it, Wagstaffe
said.
He also said a plastic bottle left near
the bed smelled of gasoline, Wagstaffe
said.
Two weeks later, the man said he
received a text message from a woman,
later identied as Riveras friend, who
told him the defendant was responsible
for the re and had made several com-
ments about plans to hurt him.
The woman contacted police and, in a
pretext phone call with Rivera, she
admitted her participation, Wagstaffe
said.
San Mateo police arrested Rivera
Monday, May 7 and she appeared in
court yesterday for arraignment. She
asked for a court-appointed attorney and
will return to court May 16 to enter a
plea and identify her lawyer. Bail was set
at $500,000 and, if convicted, she faces
10 to 15 years in prison.

It is time to
get planting
N
ice weather is here, and this is a busy time in the
garden. In the vegetable garden, now through
mid-May is the time to plant tomato, pepper and
eggplant seedlings.
Plant seeds of bush
beans, carrots,
corn, cucumbers,
green onions,
radishes, squash
and pumpkin.
In the flower gar-
den, apply an acid-
type fertilizer to
azaleas, camellias
and rhododendrons
after they have finished blooming. Nows the time to prune
them, too. (A good way to remember when to prune your
flowering perennials is to note when they have stopped
blooming and prune them then). Plant seeds of summer-
flowering plants, such as cosmos and zinnia. If you prefer
to plant seedlings, youll find plenty of summer-blooming
annuals and perennials at your local nursery.
This is prime time for roses. They are blooming madly,
and they havent yet been attacked by the dreaded diseases
of black spot and rust. Pick off any leaves that have been
hit by black spot or rust. If aphids show up, knock them off
with a blast of water from the hose (Be careful not to
knock off rose buds in the process. Not that Ive ever done
that, mind you).
Were heading into our dry season, so make sure the gar-
den is prepared for proper watering. If you rely on a drip
irrigation system, make sure it is working properly. Are all
sprinkler heads working and emitting the right amount of
water? Are there cracks or breaks in the tubing? Are all
parts of the garden being watered? Are you watering your
driveway and sidewalk, too? (This is something I often
come across when I go for a walk in my neighborhood:
concrete taking a nice, long shower).
Happy gardening!

Some of us are shower people, and
some are bathers.
But theres a way to be both, as the
Japanese discovered centuries ago when
they developed the ofuro, or soaking tub.
Traditionally, the Japanese get clean
with a shower or hand bath and then step
into an ofuro, a deep tub full of clean
hot water. These tubs are often large
enough that several family members can
have a communal soak. Its considered a
relaxing and important ritual.
The idea has caught on here, and there
are now several manufacturers making
ofuro tubs suitable for one bather or a
couple. Usually about 27 inches deep,
the tubs typically have built-in seats, and
often a grab bar. Theyre available in
acrylic, composite, wood, even stainless
steel and copper.
Here are the steamy details on some
options, and what you should consider
before adding one to your home:
Wooden tubs
Bill Finlay owns Sea Otter
Woodworks in Haynes, Alaska. While
hed been making outdoor hot tubs for a
few years, he made his rst ofuro at the
request of a business associate, and that
sparked an interest in perfecting the
craft.
I made a couple of fact-nding trips
to Japan, then developed my own tech-
niques, he says.
Finlay makes the Hinoki Ofuro in a
couple of sizes, suitable for one or two
people. The material is an aromatic
cypress native to Japan; the resin is bac-
teria- and rot-resistant and withstands
humidity. The citrusy fragrance is a
common aromatherapy component.
Acrylic and composite tubs
Wykoff, N.J.-based bath designer
Holly Rickert recently won an industry
award for a design that incorporated an
English soaking tub into a Japanese-
style bath.
One of her clients was of Japanese
heritage, and had given her some
brochures from Japanese hot spring
spas. She placed the tub, Cabuchons
curvy Pleasance Plus model, on a
bed of river rocks in front of a win-
dow with forest views.
My aim was to replicate the ofuro
experience for her, says Rickert.
Made of a proprietary solid composite
called Ficore, Cabuchons tubs arent
heavy. The maker says they retain heat
better than most acrylics, dont chip and
can be custom colored.
Kohler makes the Greek acrylic soak-
ing tub, a 4-foot-long, 23-inch-deep,
one-person bath well-suited to a smaller
bathroom. Kallistas Perfect Deep Soak
bathtub has two raised corner seats at
different heights.
Metal tubs
Diamond Spas in Frederick, Colo.,
welds recycled copper and stainless steel
into tubs that are lined with foam insula-
tion, then buffed to a nice Old World n-
ish. Like kitchen pans, the copper tubs
can be left to develop a patina, or ren-
dered shiny with a polishing compound.
Soaking tubs arent as complicated to
install as you might think.
If youre putting in a smaller, one- or
two-person tub, youll actually use less
water than a conventional tub. But a
four-person version can hold a lot of
water close to 250 gallons, compared
to around 50 for a conventional tub. So
oor joists need to be able to hold the
weight of the water, not just the tub.
Also, make sure youll be able to get
the tub sideways through doorways.
Many tubs come with an overow fail-
safe built in, but you should have a drain
in the bathroom oor as well. The river
rock bed is an attractive way to hide a
draining oor system, but you can also
tile the bathroom oor and install a
drain.
Youll need lots of good hot water, so
upgrade your system, and consider an
inline heater that continuously reheats
the full tub.
There are jetted options for many of
these models, if youd prefer some bub-
bles with your soak.

SUBURBAN LIVING
22
By Dean Fosdick
If you think its hard getting kids
to eat their vegetables, wait until
you try recruiting them for garden
work.
But the challenge is worth it:
Children just might add more
healthy foods to their diet if theyve
grown them themselves.
If a child grows herbs or vegeta-
bles, they will try them at least
once, said Mike Ferraro, whose
Preferred Commerce Co. produces
Growums, an animated garden pro-
gram that uses online gaming tech-
nology to teach children how to
raise fresh edibles and have fun
doing it.
When theyre done, theyre so
proud of it they want to eat it, he
said.
Youre never too young to garden,
although results for the youngest
gardeners might be mixed, said
Susan Robbins of the National
Gardening Associations Gardening
With Kids program.
Some plants are bound to fail, so
dont react by secretly replacing
your preschoolers veggies,
Robbins said.
Failures are a good way for chil-
dren to understand that the process
doesnt always work and that you
shouldnt give up, she said.
Reactive gardening makes them
better adults.
Some steps you can take to feed a
childs hunger for learning in the
garden:
Involve them in the planning.
Set aside a site and let the kids
decide what to grow.
Add fun to their gardening
menu. Pay a bounty for the weeds
they pull, plant surprises in their
growing beds or introduce them to
tickle-me plants a houseplant
(Mimosa pudica) that closes its
leaves and lowers its branches when
touched. As a schoolteacher, I have
found that growing a tickle-me
plant excites youngsters about sci-
ence and nature as well as making
them more sensitive about to how to
care for plants and other living
things, said Mark Chipkin, educa-
tional project director for TickleMe
Plants Co. Inc.
Build their attention spans.
Introduce theme garden mixtures
like pizzas (tomato, oregano, basil
and bell pepper plants), tacos
(cilantro, jalapeqo, lettuce and
tomato) and salads (lettuce, carrot,
cucumber and tomato). Plants that
germinate quickly, such as sunow-
ers, daisies and cucumbers, also
keep kids engaged.
Let them do some of the dirty
work. Even a toddler can aim a
water hose. Buy child-size tools and
build raised beds to make it easier
for children to maneuver.
Use pots or containers to make
their job less daunting.
Encourage them in their home-
work. Each year, Bonnie Plants, an
Alabama-based wholesaler, distrib-
utes more than a million free cab-
bage plants to third-grade class-
rooms around the nation. Students
grow the seedlings in their family
gardens. Bonnie awards a $1,000
scholarship to one student from
each state after teachers submit the
names of their class winners.
The reason Bonnie chose the
O.S. (oversize) Cross Cabbages is
because the variety has the potential
to grow to be 40 to 50 pounds, and
it makes it really fun and engaging
for the kids to watch it grow, said
Joan Casanova, a spokeswoman
who helps coordinate the 48-state
program.
The program not only teaches
kids about gardening and where
their food comes from, (but) it also
teaches kids lessons in responsibili-
ty, nurture, nature and builds self-
condence, she said.

more than $400,000 and questions
swirled over the internal organization
that may have contributed.
In the draft report known as a
municipal service review and sphere of
influence released last month,
LAFCo recommended that, among other
suggestions, the district should adopt a
budget with a narrative format detailing
revenue and their uses in a way that can
be independently read and understood
by the public. The report also included
that dissolving the agency and folding it
into another county function like the
Environmental Health division of the
county Health System could save hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars annually
by consolidating services and eliminat-
ing its 21-member Board of Trustees.
Betsey Schneider, the trustee appoint-
ed by the city of San Carlos and the one
who first questioned the districts
nances, had one of four public com-
ments submitted on the draft report by
Mondays deadline. Schneider said the
district followed none of its own hiring
policies to check the background of for-
mer nance director Jo Ann Dearman
who is now charged with embezzlement.
Schneider also wrote that when the
board complained about not getting
monthly nance statements during the
two years Dearman was employed, Gay
said he was cutting back on paperwork
in response to trustee complaints.
Schneider concluded that the district is
out of control, adding the manager is
directing and controlling the board with
members just bobbing their heads up and
down in agreement with everything the
manager says.
In a separate letter, county
Environmental Health Director Dean
Peterson cautioned LAFCo that assign-
ing a gure of costs savings by transfer-
ring the districts responsibilities is pre-
mature until a detailed review of over-
lapping responsibilities and administra-
tion is done.
The LAFCo report concluded that spe-
cial districts like the mosquito agency
would be better served by splitting up
accounting functions to make it more
likely that innocent errors will be found
and makes more deliberate fraud more
difcult. However, the report also notes
that in a small organization like the mos-
quito district a general manager and
two nance employees separating
those can be a challenge.
Those two nance employees at the
district are what led to the LAFCo
review. Between 2009 and 2011,
Dearman worked for the district despite
having been prosecuted in two different
embezzlement cases under the name
Joanne Seeney. Prosecutors who eventu-
ally led charges say Dearman, 61, and
accounting assistant Vika Sinipata, 35,
embezzled more than $450,000 by giv-
ing themselves extra pay at a higher rate
and fraudulent time off, excessively con-
tributed to their deferred compensation
funds, used credit cards for personal pur-
chases and electronically transferred
money into their own accounts. The
alleged embezzlement came to light last
year when Schneider questioned expens-
es in the districts pesticide account.
Former district operations director
James Counts said there were at least
three other people who should have seen
the problems, including Gay.
But, in my opinion, the people in
these positions failed to exercise
accountability for taxpayer funds,
Counts wrote in his comment on the
LAFCo draft report.
In its letter to LAFCo, the Mosquito
and Vector Control Association of
California, representing 63 districts
statewide, argued that the community
should not abandon the local district as a
result of the embezzlement.
Using the report, the LAFCo board
can maintain the status quo as an inde-
pendent special district or consider dis-
solving the district and transfer its
responsibilities to the county as either a
service area or a department function.
The Board of Supervisors would become
the governing body and the functions
most likely fall under the Environmental
Health division because it is already
structured in a way to provide specic
segregated services.
LAFCo meets at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday,
May 16, Board of Supervisors
Chambers, 400 County Government
Center, Redwood City.

ish corporate personhood and BofA is
being asked to help rebuild the American
economy by paying its fair share of
taxes.
BofA and other big banks need to
show accountability for their roles in the
subprime mortgage asco by halting
foreclosures and keeping people in their
homes, members of the local dream
council contend.
We are standing in solidarity with
protesters in Charlotte, said Gary
Graham, with the local dream council.
We are trying to pressure banks to
become good corporate citizens.
While Hansen was busy prepping for
her fake wedding with the bank yester-
day, another group just down the street
called Occupy Redwood City was busy
protesting foreclosure sales at the San
Mateo County Center at Marshall and
Hamilton streets. While this group does
not take to wearing costumes so much,
members have been known to block
streets, storm banks and make disparag-
ing remarks to police and local political
figures depending on the issue and
venue.
The theatrics are meant to bring the
groups attention and greater support for
their causes, Graham said.
Mid-Peninsula American Dream
Council members have staged several
skits or mini-plays on the streets but
most of their audience has essentially
been each other, except for passing
motorists who give the occasional honk
of acknowledgment.
We like to amuse ourselves, also,
Graham said.
The concept is street theater, he said,
and the goal is to catch the attention of
passersby.
It is all about raising awareness,
Graham said.
The Mid-Peninsula American Dream
Council is afliated with the national
MoveOn.org movement.

DREAM
THURSDAY, MAY 10, 2012
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Although certain people
may disagree, youre on the right track by viewing a
certain situation from an idealist perspective as well
as a logical one. It gives you the best of both worlds.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Receiving an invitation
to join a certain group might be an ego booster, but
before you actually join, it might be wise to fnd out if
youre simpatico with the membership.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Give yourself plenty
of time to think about making a major change. Upon
further review and consideration, you might discover
your frst decisions were hasty and unwise.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It would be wise to make
sure that an agreement youve been asked to accept
serves the best interest of all parties involved. If there
isnt parity, you, along with some others, will suffer.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You should focus on
long-term results rather than immediate ones in a
business arrangement. If you resort to a mere quick
fx, everyone could lose out.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If your priorities are
out of order, you might accomplish a bunch of little
things but fail to get that big, important something off
the ground. Reverse your thinking.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Even though a number
of objectives are likely to be achieved, much
more could be accomplished if you frst check out
everything that needs to be done and then make a
prioritized list.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Although youll
function effectively within your own sphere of opera-
tion, you could run into some problems if you try to
operate in an area over which you have no control.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- When it comes to
meeting your obligations, you should do quite well.
However, if you expect any pats on the back for what
you accomplish, youll be sorely disappointed.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Certain contacts you
think so highly of arent likely to be around when you
want their help. However, you dont need them, even
if you have yourself convinced otherwise.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Take care when it
comes to fnancial matters, because they can be a bit
tricky. Be careful you dont get into something that
has strings attached, or youll give back more than
you get.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Should a well-inten-
tioned friend turn out to be more of a hindrance than a
help, dont hesitate to keep him or her at bay, but do so
in a way that keeps the other person blissfully ignorant.

Blast near U.N. car
shows fragility of Syria truce
DARAA, Syria A roadside bomb hit a
Syrian military truck Wednesday just seconds
after the head of the U.N. observer team
drove by in a convoy, demonstrating the
fragility of the international plan to end the
countrys bloodshed.
In Washington, meanwhile, President
Barack Obama took steps to extend sanctions
against the government of President Bashar
Assad, saying Syria poses an unusual and
extraordinary threat to U.S. national securi-
ty and diplomatic goals.
The attack, which the regime said wounded
10 Syrian soldiers, emphasized the limits of
the international communitys plan to use
unarmed observers to promote a cease-re
between government troops and rebels trying
to topple Assad.
Argentine Senate
approves dignified death law
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina
Argentinas senate on Wednesday over-
whelmingly approved a dignied death law
giving terminally ill patients and their fami-
lies more power to make end-of-life deci-
sions.
The law passed by a vote of 55 to zero, with
17 senators declaring themselves absent. It
passed the lower house last year.
Now Argentine families wont have to
struggle to nd judges to order doctors to end
life-support for people who are dying or in a
permanent vegetative state. Getting such
approval can be very difcult in many coun-
tries, particularly in Latin America, where
opposition from the Roman Catholic church
still runs strong.
Around the world
By Elena Becatoros
ATHENS, Greece A second round of
talks to form a coalition government collapsed
Wednesday, with Greeces future in the euro
and commitment to its international bailout
deal in the balance and the specter of new elec-
tions looming ever larger.
Sundays election threw the countrys polit-
ical scene into turmoil after voters angered by
years of Europes harshest austerity program
implemented to secure vital international
bailouts and fend off bankruptcy ham-
mered mainstream politicians, but left no
party with enough seats in Parliament to gov-
ern alone.
Alexis Tsipras, head of the runner-up
Radical Left Coalition, or Syriza, met with
heads of parties across the political spectrum
as he tried and failed to win support for
Greeces rst left-wing-led government in four
decades of democratic rule.
We saw that our proposal enjoys broad
social support, but weak parliamentary back-
ing, Tsipras, 38, told a meeting of party law-
makers. We cant make our dream come true,
and form a left-wing government.
Tsipras insistence that a new government
denounce the bailout deal with the
International Monetary Fund and other
European countries provoked a backlash from
the other two main parties, who argued the
move would see Greece leave the common
European currency and endure years of pover-
ty and isolation.
The political uncertainty has alarmed
Greeces international creditors, who have
insisted the country must stick to the cost-cut-
ting terms of its bailout.
Athens has promised to pass new austerity
measures worth (euro) 14.5 billion ($18.9 bil-
lion) next month and to implement other
reforms. These will be reviewed by its credi-
tors, who will then determine whether to con-
tinue releasing rescue loans that are keeping
Greece solvent.
The eurozones bailout fund, the European
Financial Stability Facility, approved the
release of a (euro) 5.2 billion ($6.73 billion)
batch in rescue loans Wednesday. Greece will
receive (euro) 4.2 billion ($5.44 billion) of that
Thursday, while another (euro) 1 billion ($1.3
billion) is expected in June depending on
Athens needs.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel stressed
she still wants to keep Greece in the eurozone.
I have always wanted to solve (the debt cri-
sis) in such a way that Greece remains a mem-
ber of the eurozone. Nothing about that has
changed, she was quoted as saying in an inter-
view with the daily Passauer Neue Presse.
Merkel has been a leading advocate of aus-
terity as a cure for Europes debt troubles, but
that course has become hugely unpopular in
Greece and Sundays election has generat-
ed new political instability.
