Property reassessments hit Foster City’s budget

By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Some residents in Foster City will
see their annual property tax bills
decline this year as San Mateo
County has reassessed home values,
causing the city itself, however, to
lose $625,000 in property tax rev-
enue, money it had counted on to
balance this year’s budget.
The assessment appeals were
granted by the county after the city
adopted its current budget, accord-
ing to a quarterly financial report
the City Council will hear Monday.
Although Councilman Rick
Wykoff said the reassessments
should not have a significant impact
on the city’s budget, he did say it
makes it hard to balance the books
when revenue projections fall short
of expectations.
“Basing budgets strictly on
assessed valuation could become
problematic,” he said.
He does not begrudge property
owners for seeking reappraisals,
however.
“I don’t see it as a penalty to the
city,” he said. “It is positive for the
property owner.”
It could be problematic, however,
if larger property owners such as
Gilead appeal their assessments,
Wykoff said.
To balance this year’s budget,
Foster City will be forced to dip into
its reserves by about $3 million as
sales tax collections are down from
last year and other revenue sources
stay flat.
The city, however, will finish the
year with $19.4 million in reserve,
nearly 63 percent of its nearly $31
million general fund expenditures,
higher by far than other cities in the
county.
The city’s general fund revenue is
projected to be $27.5 million, about
$3 million short of expenditures.
Foster City was able to reamortize
its pension rate for public safety

Dream Machines draws vehicles of all kinds
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Mechanical marvels through the past two
centuries will be showcased on land and in air
on the coastside Sunday when the 21st annual
Pacific Coast Dream Machine Show revs up.
Two-thousand driving, flying and working
machines from the 20th and 21st centuries will
come together in Half Moon Bay Sunday for
the annual event. A wonderful collection of cars
of every era and style, model-T fire engines,
vintage buses, custom motorcycles, tricked-out
trucks, sleek streamliners, one-of-a-kind
antique engines and tractors as well as historic
military aircraft will be on display. The event is
also the largest fundraiser of the year for the
Coastside Adult Day Health Center.
Founder Bob Senz’s favorite part of the show
is seeing grandparents sharing these machines
with their grandchildren.
“Most of the stuff we show, little kids don’t
ever see them,” he said.
There are steam tractors and engines, race
cars, aircraft and even some unique additions
this year like a super powerful U.S. Army NIKE
Hercules long-range missile — a once-in-a-life-
time off-site public appearance.
Senz became involved when a group asked to
help with the fundraising event. Utilizing the
airport seemed like a fit — it was open, fenced
in and accessible. It began as a car and equip-
ment show but grew over the years.
Today, the event includes high-flying
motocross exhibitions, the world’s fastest —
and loudest — jet-powered rocket bike and spe-
cial green machines. On the ground, spectators
will get an up-close look at horseless carriages,
military aviation wonders like an F/A-18
Hornet, a supersonic, all-weather first-strike
fighter jet used by the U.S. Navy and Marine
Corps, and old-school steamrollers.

Gregory Dunham’s custom-built motorcycle weighs 6,500 pounds, is 11 feet tall and 20 feet
long with 10-foot handlebars will be at 21st annual Pacific Coast Dream Machine Show in
Half Moon Bay this Sunday.
Looking for something big? Dream Big could
be the answer. The custom-built motorcycle
weighs 6,500 pounds, is 11 feet tall and 20 feet
long with 10-foot handlebars.
Gregory Dunham of Stockton dreamed up the
world’s largest motorcycle while watching
monster trucks.
“At first, I thought about calling it sweet
revenge,” he joked.
Dunham, 54, had done mostly bodywork
before taking on the challenge of making his
dream machine a reality. The first step was find-
ing the tires, which are 6 feet long and 3 feet
wide. From there, Dunham learned and
designed as he went. It took over three years to
build, but Dunham admitted there is always
something to be done on it.
Those wanting to get off the ground can take
a short flight in a variety of aviation machines
like helicopters, vintage bi-planes or a T-6 mili-
tary trainer and P-51 Mustang, America’s pre-
mier World War II fighter. Rides range from $40
to $600. If the kids need a break from the
machines, there will be a unicycle dirt drag rac-
ing, other fun for kids, food and live music fea-
turing Shana Morrison, Claddagh, the Andy
Santana Band and special guests.
Dream Machines will be from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. Sunday, May 1 at the Half Moon Bay
Airport, located on Highway 1. Tickets are $20
for adults, $10 for teens 11 to 17 and seniors,
and kids 10 and under are free. For more infor-
mation visit www.miramarevents.com/dream-

Bay Area cities close Democrats gather to celebrate wins

streets to cars for
‘Streets Alive’event
By Janna Brancolini
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Thirteen cities in San Mateo County are closing their streets
to cars this weekend and opening them to walkers, bikers and
other revelers.
The second annual “Streets Alive” will be held from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m. Sunday across the county and will include events
ranging from exercise and dance classes to picnicking and
play.
Last year’s event was held in April to coincide with the
World Health Organization’s 2010 open spaces-themed World
Health Day, organizers said.
Pounding rain kept most of the crowds away, so the county
decided to hold this year’s event in May, said Eric Pawlowsky
in the office of county Supervisor Carole Groom.
Although the public is “thrilled at the idea” of opening up
the streets, officials don’t know how many people to expect
with the weekend’s sunny forecast, Pawlowsky said.
“People love the idea of having a safe, car-free place to walk
and to bike,” he said.
Four new cities signed on this year to participate in the event,
which is relatively inexpensive to stage because most of the
services are donated and only existing infrastructure is used.
Pawlowsky said the county expects to continue holding
Streets Alive on an annual basis, but officials hope the yearly
gatherings will encourage individual cities to block their
streets to cars more often.
The participating cities are Belmont, Brisbane, Burlingame,
East Palo Alto, Foster City, North Fair Oaks, Pacifica,
Redwood City, San Bruno, San Mateo and South San
Francisco.
Daly City and Millbrae held their events in April.

SACRAMENTO — California
Democrats are in a joyful mood after
sweeping all nine statewide offices last
year, picking up a seat in the state
Assembly, defending Sen. Barbara
Boxer’s post and returning Jerry Brown to
the governor’s office after three decades.
The rank-and-file can be expected to
spend a fair amount of time patting them-
selves on the back this weekend at their
annual convention in Sacramento, their
first statewide meeting since the
November elections.
But some of the euphoria has been over-
shadowed by the difficult task of govern-
ing, particularly in a state that had faced a
nearly $27 billion budget shortfall.
Brown has so far failed to win the two
Republican votes he needs in each house

Oregon passes bill banning shark fin
By Jeff Barnard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GRANTS PASS, Ore. — The Oregon
House on Friday unanimously passed a
bill that would ban the sale of shark fins
used in a traditional Chinese soup.
”The trade is, as yet, quite small in
Oregon,” the bill’s chief sponsor, Brad
Witt, D-Clatskanie, said in a statement.
“But with shark fin soup commanding
prices that approach $200 a bowl in
major cities around the world, it is
important that our state join West Coast
and international efforts intended to
shut down the commercial trading of
shark fins.”
House Bill 2838 now goes to the
Senate. The bill prohibits the posses-
sion and distribution of shark fins and
carries a fine of up to $720 for viola-
tions. It makes an exception for spiny
dogfish, a small shark that accounts for
300,000 pounds in landings by com-
mercial fishermen each year. Sport fish-
ermen with a valid license are not
affected.
About 150 sharks are caught each
year off Oregon, according to the state
Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The soup, which has a subtle flavor
and gelatinous consistency, is served
during Chinese dinners and banquets to
convey affluence, similar to caviar. The

Two suspected burglars
arrested after fleeing police
Two men were arrested on suspicion of burglarizing a
home and evading police in Redwood City Thursday after-
noon, according to police.
Officers responded to reports of a burglary at a home in the
1600 block of Maryland Avenue at about 2:20 p.m., police
said.
The neighbor who called in the burglary described the two
suspects’ getaway car, and a responding officer quickly
found the car driving on Woodside Road, according to
police.
Officers tried to stop the car but the driver fled east on
Woodside Road to Seaport Boulevard, police said.
The car crashed in the 2100 block of Seaport Boulevard,
and the two suspects tried to run into a nearby building,
according to police.
Gregory Polk Jr., 24, of Oakland, was arrested outside the
building and Carl Williams, 31, of Richmond, was located in
the building and arrested, police said.
Officers found the items Polk and Williams allegedly stole
in their getaway car, according to police.
No injuries were reported.
Three arrested for burglary
Three people — including a brother and sister employed
by an equestrian center — were arrested
in Newark Friday for burglarizing a
Woodside home sometime between
November and April, San Mateo County
sheriff’s deputies reported.
Cassandra Jane Chislett, 19, and her
brother Colin Chislett-Barnes, 23, were
taken into custody at their Newark resi-
dence while the third suspect, Nathan
Keith, 26, was booked on a $250,000 war-

stored. It appeared entry was made into
the garage by cutting the lock of the roll-

Shuttle Endeavour’s last trip delayed; Obama vists
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The historic next-to-last space
shuttle launch was scratched Friday because of mechanical
problems, spoiling a visit from the president and dashing the
hopes of the biggest crowd of spectators in years, including the
mission commander’s wounded wife, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
NASA hopes to try again Monday to launch space shuttle
Endeavour on its final voyage.
President Barack Obama and his family visited Kennedy
Space Center anyway but it was unclear whether he would still
meet with the Arizona congresswoman. Giffords, who is recov-
ering from a gunshot wound to the head, has been in Cape
Canaveral since Wednesday to attend her husband’s launch.
FAA orders air traffic

WASHINGTON — The Federal Aviation Administration on
Friday replaced three high-level managers in the nation’s air
traffic control system following embarrassing incidents of con-

mistakes.
In a shake-up of the system, new managers were appointed to
key positions that oversee the operation of airport towers and
regional radar centers that handle planes flying at high altitudes
as well as approaches and departures, the agency said in a state-
ment. A new manager was also appointed to run a regional radar
center near Cleveland. The previous managers are being reas-
signed.

PHOENIX — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has signed bills

Brewer, a Republican, acted on the license plate bills late
Thursday, approving them despite previously expressing con-
cern about Arizona’s growing number of special plates that now
number 46. The tea party plate would feature the “Don’t Tread
On Me” slogan, rattlesnake emblem and yellow background of
the historic Gadsden Flag that is a symbol of the movement that

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Southerners
found their emergency safety net shred-
ded Friday as they tried to emerge from
the nation’s deadliest tornado disaster
since the Great Depression.
Emergency buildings are wiped out.
Bodies are stored in refrigerated trucks.
Authorities are begging for such basics
as flashlights. In one neighborhood, the
storms even left firefighters to work
without a truck.
The death toll from Wednesday’s
storms reached 329 across seven states,
including 238 in Alabama, making it
the deadliest U.S. tornado outbreak
since March 1932, when another
Alabama storm killed 332 people.
Tornadoes that swept across the South
and Midwest in April 1974 left 315
people dead.
Hundreds if not thousands of people
were injured Wednesday — 990 in
Tuscaloosa alone — and as many as 1
million Alabama homes and businesses

The president’s backward energy plan
By Alice Weiss
C perspective
ontemplating a road trip with
today’s gas prices seemed a lit-
tle foolish. But there’s a park in
Arizona I want to explore, and I like to
drive. Facing that pain at the pump
makes one eager for solutions to our high
energy prices. But President Obama’s
announcement that he has formed a com-
mission to look into possible price
manipulation by speculators isn’t reas-
suring. Yes, when action needs to be
taken, politicians form commissions.
This may be a smart political move.
By forming a commission, the president
can look like he actually cares about ris-
ing gas prices (a dubious assumption
considering this is the man whose plan
would have our energy prices “necessari-
ly skyrocket” [breitbart.tv/obama-vows-
electricity-rates-would-necessarily-sky-
rocket-under-his-plan/]). By forming a
commission, it appears he is actually tak-
ing action, instead of being the “present”
president of which he is accused. But
when there are concrete actions that can
be taken that would help alleviate the
problem, the farce of creating a commis-
sion to investigate investors is obscene.
This commission is nothing but a sleight
of hand, an attempt to misdirect the
American public from substantive issues
to a fall guy — the greedy speculators.
A concrete action the president can
take is to order the issuance of more
domestic drilling permits. In the Gulf of
Mexico, five oil rigs, so far, have pulled
up stakes and floated down to greener
drilling pastures because they couldn’t
get permits to drill from the United
States
(money.cnn.com/2011/04/20/news/econ-
omy/bp_oil_spill_drilling/index.htm).
The Deepwater Horizon spill was a
tragedy, but as a mature nation we should
try to learn and improve from our mis-
takes, not halt all drilling as a reactionary
measure. The oil spill was not the eco-

High-speed rail implications
Editor,
State Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto,
U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, and
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo
Park, are influential federal/state repre-
sentatives overseeing the California
High-Speed Rail (CAHSR) project.
On April 18, they demanded that
CAHSR drop their plans for building
massive elevated tracks anywhere
between San Francisco and San Jose.
For San Francisco this is irrelevant, since
San Francisco politicians convinced
CAHSR to completely bury CAHSR
tracks through San Francisco, so San
Francisco residents won’t “hear, see or
feel” 150-mph CAHSR trains.
So now, all Peninsula cities, including
San Mateo, must immediately coordinate

logical disaster the
media keened about
after the spill, with
almost all of the oil
now either evaporat-
ed or consumed by
microbes
(nytimes.com
/2011/04/16/opin-
ion/16sat1.html). Yet
we are allowing that
event to be used as an excuse to curtail
our domestic energy supply and kill U.S.
jobs in the process.
Withholding drilling permits is only
one way this government is strangling
our oil industry. Shell Oil has just
announced it is abandoning its plan to
drill for oil off the coast of Alaska
because the EPA’s Environmental
Appeal’s Board has ruled to withhold air
permits from the project
(foxnews.com/us/2011/04/25/energy-
america-oil-drilling-denial/). This four-
member panel has decided an ice-break-
ing vessel Shell Oil would use could pol-
lute the air (as opposed to all the other
ships operating off Alaska right now) and
therefore Shell can’t drill for oil. Four
political appointees are stopping an esti-
mated 27 billion barrels of oil from being
added to our supply — an amount that
represents two and a half times more oil
than has flowed through the Trans-
Alaska pipeline in over its 30 years of
existence (Ibid).
I’m sure there are many who applaud
these actions. Oil is dirty and the root of
all evil, after all. If we all just put a
windmill up in our backyard and solar
panels on our roofs, no polar bear would
ever die again. But wait, environmental-
ists are blocking windfarms because they
kill birds and develop large swaths of
land that environmentalists wish to
remain untouched (“Climategate,”
Sussman, pp. 165-167). With solar ener-
gy, the construction of high-power trans-
mission lines has angered environmental-
ists who seek to block these projects
CAHSR for similar “SF-only” tunnels
from San Francisco to San Jose. If not,
then San Mateo’s selfish desire to place
150-mph trains at street level at Hillsdale
Caltrain station, solely for the financial
benefit of the Bay Meadows Phase II
developer, will doom San Mateo’s
Hayward Park area families, and
Belmont, to street-level trains, horns,
vibrations, noise from 20 150-mph trains
per hour, in both directions, for 12 hours
per day (CAHSR’s projected schedule).

OPINION
Guest
(Ibid at pp. 167-169). Just try to discuss
building a new dam in California for
hydroelectric power and you’ll have the
Sierra Club clamoring about displaced
species. And do the opponents of nuclear
energy even need a mention?
Any alternative to traditional energy
will have an environmental foe. It’s is
time to realize that the goal of the hard-
core environmentalist is not to protect
the environment as you and I see it, but
to fundamentally change America as we
know it. John Holdren, Obama’s advisor
for science and technology, has been
upfront about this. He believes a “mas-
sive campaign” to “de-develop the
United States” must occur (Ibid at p.
164). The energy we use frivolously,
watching television, taking a drive to
the beach, you know, the things that
make life enjoyable, must be taken from
us and given to underdeveloped nations.
To him and others of his ilk, the world
is a zero-sum game. Whatever success
we have as a nation must be at the
expense of others. But America has cre-
ated its wealth, not taken it, and oil has
been a big factor in our success.
Kneecapping the oil industry won’t
enrich other nations, just impoverish
ours.
Past generations of Americans have
striven for successive higher standards
of living. That is the natural human con-
dition. It isn’t our government’s role to
force us into a third world way of life. I
refuse to downgrade my life. Will you let
others “de-develop” yours?

Joys of being
the president
O
K, students! Which president is being referred to in
this quotation? “We did not conceive it possible that
even (Mr. X) would produce a paper so slipshod, so
loose-joined, so puerile, not
alone in literary construction, but
in its ideas, its sentiments, its
grasp. He has outdone himself.”
— Chicago Times, Nov. 19,
1863.
Give up? How about Abraham
Lincoln and his “Gettysburg
Address,” considered one of the
greatest speeches, ever, in the
English language?
Or how about this famous let-
ter from Peter Muggins, an
American citizen and a con-
stituent of that same president
(profanity abbreviated): “GD
your GD old hellfired GDed soul
to hell. GD you and GD your GDed family’s GD hellfired
GDed soul to hell and good damnation. GD them and GD your
GDed friends to hell.”
Even President Obama should envy President Lincoln such
demonstrations of love from one of his constituents.
And speaking of the two of them, the hate-Obama media
invented an insult of Obama’s returning to the British govern-
ment the bust of Winston Churchill, loaned to President George
W. Bush and replacing it with a bust of President Abraham
Lincoln in his Oval office. An insult which, as the conservative
propaganda machine and Fox News gloated, led to such great
tensions between our governments that the president was not
invited to the wedding of Prince William.
Can you imagine? Returning that bust of the high-born
Winston Churchill on loan to that high-born President George
W. Bush and stooping so low as to replace it with a bust of that
inconsequential, low-born President Abraham Lincoln, who
rose from obscurity same as he? Reveals a lack of maturity for
whose image one wishes to gaze upon in admiration each day,
and only an American, at that. For shame!
That certainly got a lot of mileage for the Obama naysayers,
who never permit the truth to intrude upon their political glee.
But what is the truth?
Such an invitation would have been an insult, not only to the
president but, also, to our nation. Prince William is the grandson
of the queen of England, nothing more. And such a wedding is
not a state event, as that for Prince Charles, immediate heir to
the throne, that the hate media pointed out brought an invitation
to President Reagan. But only a very expensive private wedding
being paid for by poor Prince Charles.
It is a testimony to the ignorance of these Obama complainers
that they know not that President Obama is a head of state, as is
Queen Elizabeth. To invite her to a wedding of his grandchild
— in this case a hypothetical child of one of Obama’s daughters
— would be unthinkable. And, to demonstrate how really angry
the Brits are, President Obama and his lady have been invited
for a state visit next month.
In fact, Obama may replace Lincoln as the most hated presi-
dent while in office. Hardly ever a compliment for any achieve-
ment, even so minor as an award for being an outstanding father
by a national parenting association. As one columnist put it: “If
President Obama came out for motherhood, Rush Limbaugh
would immediately scream out, “Un-American!” And the con-
servatives would pass a resolution: “Unconstitutional!”
***
President Obama’s releasing the long form of his birth certifi-
cate Wednesday isn’t really going change much. The “birthers”
will go on with whether it could be a forgery, as to why it took
so long, what was he trying to hide, is the father listed on the
document the true father, and such? And they will struggle to
gain information from the now disclosed hospital of birth.
Further, they are questioning whether he was really qualified
to attend two Ivy League universities and slipping into covert
racism questioning whether he was qualified for enrollment in
two Ivy League universities? (Of course, this could be an
incredible endorsement of that program in that a beneficiary had
risen to become president of the United States).
Political parties should realize that taking advantage of such a
dissing of a rival, carried on too long, can backfire. Although
the major figures didn’t speak much on the issue, they felt they
were profiting from the ongoing nagging “birthers,” until the
past few weeks, they realized it was become counterproductive
in midst of serious economic negotiations.
Too late! Donald Trump has become more powerful by forc-
ing the issue and gained much clout with core Republicans, not
inspired by their “milquetoast” candidates for the presidential
nomination. As I wrote in last week’s column, he should not be
underestimated as a “clown.” Taking credit for forcing the docu-
ment release, this “loose cannon” is capable of throwing scatter
bombs into their primary voting processes. Those voters are
looking for a candidate with “cajones,” and now they have one.

Regulator: Blue Cross rate hike unreasonable
LOS ANGELES — Double-digit rate hikes for 120,000
Anthem Blue Cross health insurance policyholders will
take effect Sunday despite a state regulator’s determination
the increase is unreasonable.
A California Department of Managed Health Care
review found the increases were 3 percent to 4 percent
higher than individual plans with similar benefits under the
jurisdiction of the state’s other insurance regulator, the
Department of Insurance.
“In the spirit of providing maximum transparency to
consumers about rate increases, we have little choice but to
publicly express our disappointment that Anthem Blue
Cross didn’t lower the rates as we requested,” Department
of Managed Health Care spokeswoman Lynne Randolph
said in a statement.
The hikes will average almost 15 percent, and Friday’s
declaration of disappointment marks the first time a rate
was declared unreasonable by DMHC, the nation’s only
regulator solely dedicated to health maintenance organiza-
tions. The department oversees policies for 21 million

ST. LOUIS — Heavy equipment maker Caterpillar Inc.
said Friday its first-quarter profit soared more than five-
fold and raised its financial outlook for the year as a grow-
ing economic recovery boosted demand for its mining and
construction equipment.
The results blew past analysts’ expectations and its
shares rose $2.72, or 2.4 percent, to $115.36 in midday
trading.
Caterpillar’s earnings are a bellwether for the global
economy, as it sells the kind of kind of expensive, heavy
machinery used for construction, mining and logging.
Its first-quarter profit reflects an industrial sector that is
growing again, with most of its sales growth coming from
the sale of big machines. When the recession hit in 2007,
construction and mining companies cut back their spend-
ing on heavy machinery first, Mike DeWalt, Caterpillar’s
director of investors told analysts Friday.

Dow drives higher
By Chip Cutter and Matthew Craft
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Caterpillar drove the
Dow Jones industrial average higher
Friday after the company reported a
huge gain in first-quarter earnings.
The world’s largest maker of mining
and construction equipment rose 2.5 per-
cent after its earnings increased more
than five-fold. The company also raised
its sales and profit forecast for the year.
The Dow added 4 percent in April, its
best month since December.
The Dow rose 47.23 points Friday, or
0.4 percent, to close at 12,810.54.
Caterpillar accounted for 21 points of
those gains. The company’s stock has
soared over the past year on booming
demand for its products.
“The industrial sector and the manu-
facturing sector of this country are much
stronger than many investors have per-
ceived,” said Rob Lutts, president and
chief investment officer of Cabot Money
Management.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose
3.13 points, or 0.2 percent, to close at
1,363.61. The index gained 2.8 percent
in April.
The Nasdaq composite added 1.01
point to 2,873.54. It rose 3.3 percent for

Apple sends ripples through tech world
By Peter Svensson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Consumer technolo-
gy companies reporting financial results
this week are looking like rowboats bob-
bing in the wake of Apple Inc.’s super-
tanker.
Close to oblivion in 1997, Apple is
now the world’s second-most valuable
company, after Exxon Mobil Corp. On
April 20, it reported net income of $5.99
billion for the January-to-March period,
nearly double that of a year ago. It
shipped a record 18.65 million iPhones
during the quarter. Its iPad tablet com-
puters are so popular, the company
couldn’t make enough.
Apple’s ascendancy has produced
many losers and a few winners, as
underscored over the past two weeks:
Microsoft Corp.: loser.
Apple dethroned Microsoft as the
world’s most valuable technology com-
pany a year ago. In its mid-fall report, it
surpassed Microsoft in quarterly rev-

Wall Street
Both the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 had
their best month since February.
Strong corporate earnings pushed
major stock market indexes to 2011
highs in the last week of the month. On
Wednesday, the S&P 500 doubled from
its 12-year low reached on March 9,
2009 after the financial crisis. The
Nasdaq is at its highest level since 2000.
The Russell 2000 index of small
stocks also hit a record high on
Wednesday after the Fed pledged to keep
short-term interest rates at record lows.
That motivated investors to continue
buying risky investments such as small
stocks.
The Russell has soared 77 percent
over the past two years. Small-company
stocks tend to rise more quickly than the
overall market as the economy emerges
from a recession. Investors also see them
as likely takeover targets for larger com-
panies that are flush with cash. The
Russell rose 3.74 points, or 0.4 percent,
to 865.29 Friday.

On Thursday, Microsoft reported that

believes that more than 30 percent of
iPads sold may be replacing PC sales. In
the 90s, the trend was the opposite, as
Windows PCs were crowding out Macs.
Nokia Corp.: loser.
Nokia said this week that it will slash
7,000 jobs through layoffs and outsourc-
ing. It still sells more phones than any-
one else, but it’s losing share to Apple,
especially when it comes to smart-
phones.

exposed to road salt, the straps can rust

ing a fuel leak and possibly a fire.
Kia said in a statement Friday it is not

lem.
Dealers will replace the fuel tank
straps with zinc-coated parts at no cost

San Mateo wins cat fight
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When two good softball teams hook up, it
usually means a premium is put on scoring
runs. The team that can come through with
runners in scoring position has an excellent
chance to win the game.
That was precisely the difference in San
Mateo’s 4-2 win over host Woodside Friday
afternoon: the Bearcats came up with the
clutch hit to drive in runs, while the Wildcats
stranded a majority of their runners.
“Tough loss,” said Woodside coach Mike
King, who, unfortunately, has become accus-
tomed to tough losses, having suffered quite a
few over the years.
“(The problem was) just leaving runners on
base too much.”
San Mateo (5-0 PAL Ocean, 10-3 overall)
took the lead for good with a three-run fourth,
turning a 1-0 deficit into a 3-1 advantage by
getting the clutch hits. Tayler Titus led off the
inning with a single and Bailey Sutton walked.
Both runners moved up on Francie Cohen’s
sacrifice bunt to bring up designated hitter
Jennifer Gomez. She engaged Woodside
pitcher Ashley Miller in a eight-pitch at-bat,
fouling off a couple of pitches before working
the count full.
On the payoff pitch, she took an outside
offering through the hole between first and
second base for an opposite-field, two-run sin-
gle.
“That was totally a clutch hit,” said San
Mateo coach Randy Boardman. “She didn’t
try to do too much with it.
“She was clutch. About as clutch as you can
get. She’s so emotional. She was crying in the
dugout (after the final out).”
Gomez moved to second on a passed ball
and scored on Elisa Pineda’s double down the
left-field line to give San Mateo a 3-1 lead.
San Mateo plated an insurance run in the
sixth when Cohen led off with a single, stole
second and scored on a Pineda single to left to
put San Mateo up 4-1.
“Pineda had the best game of her varsity
career,” Boardman said.

Lockout
reinstated
By Jon Krawczynski
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The NFL lockout
is back.
The league announced the move late Friday,
hours after a key courtroom victory. NFL
spokesman Greg Aiello told The Associated
Press that teams “have been told that the prior
lockout rules are reinstated effective immediate-
ly.”
Earlier, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
in St. Louis granted the NFL’s request for a tem-
porary stay of the injunction that lifted the 45-
day lockout. Arguments will be heard as early as
next week on whether that order from a federal
judge in Minnesota should be overturned alto-
gether.
The NFL’s announcement came during the
NFL draft, not long after the third round
wrapped up, and on the very day players were
allowed to return to their teams’ facilities for the
first time since March. Dozens if not hundreds
of players happily met with coaches, worked out
and got a peek at their playbooks.
“Nobody’s happy about any of this,” Green
Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson
said. “But it is what it is. The lockout is back into
effect.”
Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards, sched-
uled to become a free agent, put it simply on
Twitter: “Looks like we’re unemployed again.”
“Its unfortunate 2 c the Lockout back on,”
tweeted Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry
Fitzgerald. “2 all NFL fans, please know the
players are w/ u & we both are being deprived of
enjoying this game.”
The 2-1 decision from a panel of the 8th
Circuit was issued by Judges Steven Colloton,
Kermit Bye and Duane Benton. It included a
lengthy dissent from Bye, who suggested tem-
porary stays should be issued only in emergen-
cies.
The ruling was the first victory for the NFL in
the bitter labor fight. It came in a venue consid-
ered more conservative and favorable to busi-
nesses than the federal courts in Minnesota,
where the collective bargaining system was
established in the early 1990s and judges have
generally favored players over the NFL.
Game 2 is Sunday in San Jose.
After being stymied for two-plus periods by
Howard, the Sharks finally broke through
midway through the third on their third power
play of the night with Todd Bertuzzi out for
boarding Pavelski.

inside the blue line that Howard stopped, but

Matt Lujan sets all-time wins record at USF

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
SAN FRANCISCO — When a
couple early hops went University
of San Francisco’s way, you got the
feeling it might be Matt Lujan’s day.
While Friday’s series opener with
Loyola Marymount at Benedetti
Diamond wasn’t quite the pitchers
duel that was anticipated, it was still
one for the record books.
Lujan persevered a rocky four-run
first inning to become the king of
the Hilltop, setting the Dons all-
time career wins mark with 23. His
offense didn’t waste any time in
revitalizing their ace left-hander.
USF tied it up with a four-spot of
their own in the bottom of the first,
and tabbed six more in the third
before going on to win 11-7.
USF’s sturdy southpaw earned his
place in the record books. Lujan
scuffled with a tight strike zone
early on, but performed unflappably.
Ultimately, he allowed five runs
over 5 2/3 innings, before eventual-
ly departing in the sixth due to a
minor cut on the ring finger of his
throwing hand.
“I’m really proud of the job he
did,” Dons manager Nino
Giarratano said. “But I really have
to give credit to our offense for ral-
lying back the way they did.”
With the win, USF maintains out-
right possession of first place in the
West Coast Conference. The Dons
entered play Friday with a one-
game lead over second-place
Gonzaga, who is in town for a three-
game series with Santa Clara
University.
Following the game, Lujan was
all smiles about the record.
However, he was quick to sharpen
his demeanor in talking about the
importance of Friday’s team win.
“The record is all well and good,
but we’re in conference play right
now. So every pitch and every win
matter,” Lujan said. “Right now
we’re just looking to get those W’s.”
For the record
Unlike Patrick McGuigan — one
of two USF pitchers that Lujan sur-
passed with his historic win —
Lujan has been a Steady Eddie since
cracking the Dons rotation as a
freshman. McGuigan entered his
senior year with 10 career wins, but
posted an epic 12-3 in 2006 to tie
Dana Hendershott with 22 overall
wins.
Lujan, though, is a different story.
The 6-foot-1 lefty emerged out of
St. Mary’s-Stockton, where he was
part of three Tri-City League cham-
pionship teams, and won co-MVP
in league as a senior for not only
pitching, but hitting .423 as a first
baseman. As a true freshman at USF
in 2008, he was slated for a relief
role, but was thrust into the week-
end rotation when junior starter
Brian Anderson suffered an oblique
injury.
Lujan has been in the Dons rota-
tion ever since. He posted a success-
ful 7-2 record as a Sunday starter his
freshman year, then was promoted
to Friday ace as a sophomore.
Perhaps a bit rushed, he grinded out
a 5-7 record in 2009 and improved
to 6-5 last season.
After middling for two consecu-
tive years, Lujan dedicated himself
to getting in shape over the offsea-
son. He dropped 17 pounds, and got
into a rhythm of running, swim-
ming, biking, and weight training.
He also realized the merits of all
those peer pressure warnings.
“I was eating too late, eating too
much,” Lujan said. “When you’re
out on the road with a bunch of guys
whose metabolism is a lot faster, it’s
hard not to do.”
The results are evident. With yes-
terday’s win, he is sitting at 5-3 with
three more Friday night games to
go. And he is on pace to set a per-
sonal season best in innings pitched.
“We’ll see where the record fin-
ishes,” Giarratano said. “Hopefully
he’ll add three more wins to the
record.”
Lujan had a shot to break the
record last week against Santa
Clara, but with little offensive sup-
port, he lost a two-run lead by sur-
rendering three runs late. The Dons
offense got him off the hook by
grinding for a 5-4 win in 13 innings.
But there wasn’t much offensive
grinding Friday, as the Dons — now
hitting .270 as a team — roped 14
hits.
While Lujan said it may take time
for the record-breaking feat to sink
in, he reverently put the accomplish-
ment into perspective.
“It’s a big deal because of all the
talent that’s come before,” Lujan
said. “Like [McGuigan] who won
12 games in one season. If you can
be up there with him, that’s special.”

49ers land their quarterback Oakland adds
Nevada’s Kaepernick picked up in second round
By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The
pressure was on the San Francisco
49ers to find a quarterback this off-
season to fill the team’s greatest
need.
They landed one Friday night.
Another might soon be on the
way.
In the first
major move of
the Jim
Harbaugh Era,
the 49ers traded
up in the second
round to take
Nevada quarter-
Colin Kaepernick back Colin
Kaepernick
with the 36th overall pick in the
NFL draft. They gave Denver their
second-round (45th overall),
fourth-round (108th) and fifth-
round (141st) picks to move up.
General manager Trent Baalke
and Harbaugh have spent most of
the offseason doing their home-
work on quarterbacks. While
there’s a growing sentiment that
Alex Smith will re-sign with San
Francisco, there’s nothing from his
past play that suggests he could be
the franchise’s long-term solution.
Kaepernick was watching the
draft unfold with family in Turlock,
Calif., and will easily be a more
popular pick because of his
Northern California ties and strong
throwing arm. Kaepernick was so
excited he immediately started
making the two-hour drive and was
set to be formally introduced
alongside Harbaugh later Friday
night.
“That just makes it that much
easier for my family, friends to
come and see me,” said
Kaepernick, who was the sixth
quarterback taken in the draft. “I
know everybody in Reno was hop-
ing I went to the 49ers as well. For
me, it was the perfect pick.”
The 49ers also traded back in the
third round to take South Carolina
defensive back Chris Culliver. The
Jacksonville Jaguars received San
Francisco’s 76th overall pick in
exchange for the 80th pick to take
Culliver and a sixth-round selec-
tion (182nd overall).
The selection wasn’t even the
only move the 49ers made to secure
a quarterback Friday.
Smith was at the team’s facility
working out and was scheduled to
meet with Harbaugh, who has
made it known he would like the
team to reunite with the 2005 No. 1
overall pick. Smith is a free agent
and his possible return could allow
Kaepernick the time needed to
develop into an NFL quarterback.
Kaepernick threw for 3,022 yards
and 21 touchdowns for the
Wolfpack last season but has been
dinged for his elongated throwing
motion, perhaps the biggest reason
he slipped into the second round.
He had a private workout with
Harbaugh in Reno last month and
believes that ended any doubts the
team had about his throwing
motion.
“I think it’s a little bit more
abbreviated, but at the same time, I
haven’t had a coach tell me they
had a problem with it,” Kaepernick
said. “Coach Harbaugh was actual-
ly the first coach to tell me that it
looked good. I think he was wor-
ried about whether I got the ball out
quickly or not. And when he told
me that, I was very excited about
it.”
Although he probably won’t be
the immediate starter, Kaepernick
will be part of new regime charged
with restoring the storied franchise
to prominence.
The 49ers followed up a perfect
SPORTS
preseason last year by losing their
first five games, finished 6-10 in
the league’s worst division and
coach Mike Singletary was fired
with one game left. San Francisco’s
brass hired away Harbaugh from
just down the road in Stanford,
handing him the reins to a franchise
that hasn’t had a winning season or
reached the playoffs since 2002.
And inconsistency at quarterback
might be the biggest reason why.
The 49ers also showed signs they
were headed toward a reunion with
Smith when they bypassed quarter-
back prospects that could’ve made
a more immediate impact. Instead,
they took Missouri’s Aldon Smith
with the No. 7 overall pick in the
first round to be a pass-rushing out-
side linebacker in their 3-4 scheme.
Aldon Smith was formally intro-
duced at the team’s practice facility
earlier Friday, meeting with coach-
es and the few players in the build-
ing. He was set to fly back to New
York immediately, then Missouri
before returning to the Bay Area.
Although draft picks are often
surprised by the team that selects
them, going to San Francisco was a
bit of a stunner. He first met with
Harbaugh and Baalke at Missouri’s
pro day, and even Smith believed
the 49ers were attending to see
Blaine Gabbert — another quarter-
back the franchise passed on in the
draft.
Smith made enough of an
impression because the 49ers flew
him out for a private workout
before the draft. He had dinner
with Harbaugh and was even given
a 50-question test that included
everything from football history to
field dimensions.
Apparently, he passed.
“It’s been amazing,” he said.
“Five hours of sleep. Ever since my
name got called I’ve been busy. I’m
enjoying every bit of it.”

OL Wisniewski
Raiders stay in family, pick up
former guard’s nephew in draft
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA, Calif. — The
Oakland Raiders decided to keep it
in the family when it came time to
make their first selection in the NFL
draft.
After sitting on the sidelines with-
out a first-round
pick, the
Raiders took
Penn State
offensive line-
man Stefen
Wisniewski in
the second
round Friday
night.
Stefen Wisniewski
Wisniewski is
the nephew of
Steve Wisniewski, a former eight-
time Pro Bowl guard with the
Raiders who joined first-year coach
Hue Jackson’s staff as an assistant in
January. His father also played three
years in the NFL as a defensive line-
man.
Like his uncle did as a rookie in
1989, the younger Wisniewski is
being penciled in as a starter. Only
this Wisniewski will do it at center,
a position he played for one season
with the Nittany Lions.
“I would have been excited to go
wherever, but you can’t help but be
a little bit more excited, you know,
being a Raider and being able to
play for my uncle,” Wisniewski said
Friday. “My dad, obviously, knows
I’m in good hands playing for Steve.
We grew up Raider fans, grew up
cheering for Steve. It just feels
right.”
The 6-foot-3, 306-pound
13
Wisniewski was the 48th player
selected overall after a stellar career
at Penn State. He started 38 of 39
games over the past three seasons
and earned first team All-America
honors in 2010.
Jackson, who was promoted from
offensive coordinator when Tom
Cable was fired following the end of
last season, said the Raiders were
well aware of Wisniewski’s blood-
lines but said the pick was made out
of need more than anything else.
“By no means was this pick made
because of Steve and by no means is
(Stefen) here because of a relation-
ship,” Jackson said. “He’s here
because he can help the Oakland
Raiders win football games. And
that’s why he’s going to be play cen-
ter for us.”
Raiders go for cornerback in third
round
The Oakland Raiders have select-
ed cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke
with the first of their two third-
round picks in the NFL draft.
Van Dyke started just three games
at Miami (Fla.) as a senior but blos-
somed at the NFL combine, where
he ran a 4.25 40-yard dash. The 6-
foot, 175-pounder played in 50
games and had three interceptions in
four seasons with the Hurricanes.
The Raiders, who did not have a
pick in the first round, traded their
second-round pick in 2012 to New
England in exchange for the 92nd
and 125th overall picks this season.
Earlier, Oakland selected offen-
sive lineman Stefen Wisniewski in
the second round.

Sports Brief
McDowell placed on ’leave’
ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves placed pitch-
ing coach Roger McDowell on administrative
leave Friday while they investigate allegations he
made homophobic comments and crude gestures
toward fans before a game in San Francisco last
weekend.
McDowell also is accused of using a baseball
bat to threaten a fan objecting
to his actions.
The former major league
reliever apologized in a state-
ment, but the team barred
him from the bench heading
into a three-game series
against St. Louis.
General manager Frank
Wren said he hopes to have
Roger
the investigation wrapped up
McDowell
by end of the weekend, and
added that any punishment would be coordinated
with Major League Baseball.
The de facto suspension of McDowell came
hours after the team announced it was looking into
the arrest Thursday night of starting pitcher Derek
Lowe on drunken-driving charges, a double dose
of trouble for a team that has always prided itself
on avoiding off-the-field incidents.

midair with his stick and into the net to tie it
with 9:38 to go with San Jose’s first power-
play goal in four games this postseason.
Pavelski played a big part in San Jose’s
series win over Detroit a year ago, scoring
four goals in the first two games, including the
tying tally in the third period of Game 2. That
was one of two third-period comebacks in that
series for the Sharks, who did it again in the
opener this year.
The Red Wings killed another power play
later in the third and withstood a late flurry
from San Jose, with Howard making a tough
pad save on a deflection by Dany Heatley to
send the game to overtime.

I’m proud of the season and I’m happy it
ended the way it did.”
“I played pretty well up until here,” Pang
said. “I just didn’t play the big points as well
as I hoped to.”
As it was with the doubles championship,
there were no surprises between Newcomb
and Pang, who have played against each other
over the years.
“I played him twice during the season, we
were 1-1. I knew I had to do the best that I
second for the first out of the inning.
It may have been an omen because the
Wildcats did not score again until the bottom
of the sixth as San Mateo pitcher Bailey
Sutton worked in and out of trouble all game
long as Woodside stranded eight runners on
the day — including coming up empty with
runners on second and third in the fourth
inning and the bases loaded in the fifth.
“If we could get one or two (runs) there (in
the fifth), we’re in good shape,” King said.
“It’s frustrating.”
Trevor Cahill stay unbeaten and the Oakland
Athletics beat the Texas Rangers 3-1 on Friday
night.
Cahill (4-0) overcame a three-walk first inning
to pitch seven scoreless innings against the

Logan Couture, Ryane Clowe and Dany
Heatley, the Sharks dominated the play in the
first half of the second period but were unable
to score. Howard made a tough stop on
Pavelski and helped kill a power play as
Detroit maintained the lead despite being out-
shot 16-2 in the first 10 minutes of the second
period.
Detroit allowed two shots the rest of the
period and had chances to extend the lead but
one shot rolled along the goal line and away
from the net, and Niemi stopped Jiri Hudler
on a wrist shot in the closing minute.
This marked the third time in five seasons
that these teams met in the second round of
the playoffs, with each team winning once.
The Red Wings were well-rested, with eight
full days off since their sweep of Phoenix in
the first round. That’s in stark contrast to their
one day off a year ago after a seven-game
could do,” Newcomb said. “I mean, he’s a
good player but I figured if I did my best, if I
put out there what I knew I could, I should
have it.”
While both players did receive a bye to
begin the tournament, they both played twice
Thursday. On Friday, Newcomb had more in
the tank.
“He just comes up big on those big points,
deuces point, hits a good serve, comes up with
big shots,” Pang said. “He wins the points that
matter the most.”
Sutton had a lot to do with Woodside’s frus-
tration as time and again, she made the big
pitch when she had to. The Wildcats had the
bases loaded in the fifth with just one out, but
Sutton induced the next two batters to pop out
to third baseman Pineda to get out of the jam.
“I was moving pitches everywhere,” said
Boardman, who calls all the pitches from the
dugout. “Inside, outside, up, down. I don’t
think I [called] more than two fastballs (the
entire game).”
Woodside finally scratched out its second

Coast road trip all against the division with a
punchless performance to lose for the fourth
time in five games. Texas fell into a first-place tie
with the Los Angeles Angels in the AL West.
series against the Coyotes, which was a factor
in them falling behind 3-0 in the series.
The time off also allowed two of Detroit’s
most potent players heal from injuries that
kept them out of action for at least part of the
first round. Johan Franzen, who led the team
with 28 goals in the regular season, has recov-
ered from an injured left ankle that forced him
to miss Game 4 against the Coyotes. Leading
scorer Henrik Zetterberg is also back after
missing the entire first round with an injured
left knee.
There was a feeling-out process early, with
both teams seemingly wary of making an
early mistake. San Jose killed off an early
power play before the Red Wings broke
through midway through the period when
Pavel Datsyuk got the puck on the boards and
fed Lidstrom in the slot for a slap shot that
beat Niemi to the glove side.
“I knew it was really key for me to get that
first set, especially against (Pang),” Newcomb
said. “If you can get the first set from him, I
knew things would be looking good for me. I
was glad to win that first set and I just wanted
to keep it going, keep it rolling.”
In the third place matches, Max Siegel and
Kevin Bui of Woodside overcame a one-set
deficit to defeat Carlmont’s Brandon Pang and
Kenji Iwamoto 2-6, 6-2, 6-4.

run in the bottom of the sixth. Ashlynn
Avendano led off the inning with a double,
moved to third on a groundout and scored on
Miller’s sacrifice fly to center field.
Woodside had one last gasp in the seventh.
With one out, Parker rapped out her third hit
of the game, but was erased on a fielder’s
choice. With Ali McBride on first, Sutton
ended the game with a strikeout.
“It was just like I thought it would be,”
Boardman said. “Tight, close and nerve-
wracking.”

Hawks to dig deep Mavs set sights on Lakers
By Paul Newberry
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — For a team that comes across
as emotionally fragile, the Atlanta Hawks sure
showed plenty of toughness in the opening
round of the playoffs.
They’ll have to dig even deeper this time
around.
After knocking off Orlando 4-2 — winning
three homes games by a total of 10 points —
the Hawks are getting ready to face the top-
seeded Chicago Bulls in the Eastern
Conference semifinals.
The Bulls won a league-high 62 games dur-
ing the regular season and they’ll have the
home-court edge. Game 1 is Monday night in
Chicago.
Compounding the challenge for Atlanta:
guard Kirk Hinrich went down with a strained
right hamstring in the closing minutes of the
clincher against the Magic.
Hinrich underwent treatment and an MRI
on Friday, which revealed a “significant”
strain. He was listed as doubtful for the series,
and the Hawks aren’t sure about his status
SPORTS
should they advance. After collapsing to the
court in severe pain, he had to be carried to the
locker room by two members of the training
staff.
“This certainly changes things,” Hawks
coach Larry Drew said. “He’s our starting
point guard. Hopefully, he’ll be able to go. But
if he’s not, we’ll have to make an adjustment.
We don’t know what we’ll do at that point.”
Losing Hinrich would be a tough blow,
especially at the defensive end against
Chicago star Derrick Rose. The Hawks would
likely counter with Joe Johnson, though Drew
doesn’t want to wear down his best player
using him exclusively on Rose.
The Hawks also could hand a bigger role to
Jeff Teague, who’s played sparingly his first
two years in the league but is one of their
quicker players. Damien Wilkins is another
option.
“We’re looking at the matchups against
Chicago and seeing what works best for us,”
Drew said. “But we don’t really know if Kirk
can go or can’t go. Maybe he can play some.
Maybe he can’t play at all. A lot of that will
change things.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — The verbal jabbing of Phil
Jackson and the mind games with Ron Artest
will begin soon enough.
First, Mark Cuban wanted a day to celebrate
his Dallas Mavericks making it to the second
round to face the Los
Angeles Lakers.
The Mavs won a playoff
series Thursday night for
only the second time since
reaching the 2006 NBA
finals, and it wasn’t easy.
A colossal collapse at the
end of Game 4 in Portland
forced a return trip to the
Dirk Nowitzki Rose Garden for Game 6,
and Dallas almost let
another big, late lead slip away. Only this
time, Dirk Nowitzki found a way to stave off
those pesky Trail Blazers, scoring 33 points in
the 103-96 victory.
Cuban left the court Thursday night with a
huge smile. He sent a tweet complimenting
Portland fans for their courtesy and he
declined to say anything about his team’s next
foe. In an email Friday, he declined to com-
ment about anything Lakers-related.
The playful banter is sure to come. But
Cuban’s biggest statement about the Lakers
came last summer, when the Mavericks re-
signed center Brendan Haywood, then traded
for another big man, the more-agile Tyson
Chandler. They made it clear they were col-
lecting all the size they could get to try match-
THE DAILY JOURNAL
ing up with Los Angeles.
Here’s how the pieces fit: If Chandler and
Haywood can take turns helping slow the
Lakers’ big men, Pau Gasol and Andrew
Bynum; if Shawn Marion and DeShawn
Stevenson can help slow Kobe Bryant; and if
Nowitzki can shake Artest and whatever else
Jackson throws at him, then maybe Dallas can
end Los Angeles’ two-year reign as NBA
champions.
“We have our hands full,” Nowitzki said.
“We’re going to have to play a perfect game
to beat them,” added point guard Jason Kidd.
“I hope we’re up for that challenge.”
Dallas and Los Angeles have a long, inter-
esting history — at least, from the Mavs’ per-
spective. To the Lakers, Dallas is just another
franchise using them as a measuring stick.
When the Mavericks first blossomed in the
mid- to late-1980s, the “Showtime” era was
still going strong in Los Angeles. The Lakers
ousted the Mavs from their first postseason
appearance in 1984 and did it again in ’86.
They met in the Western Conference finals in
’88, and Dallas stretched the series to seven
games. The Mavericks wouldn’t win another
playoff game until 2001.
Dallas went from March 1990 to December
2003 between road wins in Los Angeles. The
Mavericks’ Hollywood headaches include the
time they scored only two points in an entire
quarter, the night Bryant single-handedly
outscored them through three quarters and
when they allowed the second-biggest fourth-
quarter comeback in NBA history, with
Bryant and the Lakers erasing a 27-point
deficit.

Tweeting Guillen suspended 2 games
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — White Sox manager
Ozzie Guillen won’t fight his two-game
suspension from Major League Baseball
for posting messages on his Twitter
account after being
ejected from a game
earlier this week.
“They told me why
they’re going to do it
and they talked to me
about taking respon-
sibility,” Guillen said
prior to Friday’s
games with the
Ozzie Guillen Orioles. “(Serving
the suspension) is
something I should be doing. I shouldn’t
be (tweeting) during the game.”
Guillen was suspended for games on
Friday and Saturday and fined an undis-
closed amount for on-field actions in the
first inning of Wednesday’s game against
the Yankees and for comments made via
Twitter following his ejection.
It was the first time baseball has penal-
ized a player, coach or manager for use of
the social networking site during a game.
Guillen was tossed Wednesday night for
arguing with plate umpire Todd Tichenor
in the first inning of Chicago’s game
against the New York Yankees. The com-
bustible manager then went on Twitter to
say the ejection was pathetic.
“I don’t blame Major League Baseball
for being upset with me,” Guillen said,
who was ejected by home plate umpire
Todd Tichenor. “I made a mistake.”
It’s not the first time Twitter has gotten
a member of the Guillen family in trouble
with the White Sox. Guillen’s son, Oney,
left the team’s scouting department after
some posts criticized the front office in
spring training 2010.
The episode led to season-long friction
between Guillen and general manager
Ken Williams that had been patched up.
Guillen has had numerous outbursts
during his managerial career, which began
in 2004.
Among his targets have been Yankees
star Alex Rodriguez, umpire Hunter
Wendelstedt and former teammate
Magglio Ordonez, who currently plays for
the Detroit Tigers.
Guillen was ordered to sensitivity train-
ing in 2006 after calling former Chicago
sports columnist Jay Mariotti a derogato-
ry name.
He apologized to Rodriguez for com-
ments he made in a Sports Illustrated arti-
cle in which he criticized the Yankees’ star
third baseman for waffling on his choice
of countries for the World Baseball
Classic and suggested he was a hypocrite.

In his first season as manager, Guillen
called Wendelstedt a liar. Later in the sea-
son, Guillen sarcastically referred to Buck
Showalter, then with the Texas Rangers,
as the best manager in the history of base-
ball and the guy who invented the game
— all after Showalter questioned
Guillen’s knowledge of the rules.
Guillen also went off on a profanity-
filled rant against Ordonez, a fellow
Venezuelan who left the White Sox and
joined the Tigers. Guillen went on yet
another tirade after a radio host ques-
tioned his lineup on the air.
Williams said Guillen fully understands
the ramifications of his actions — on the
field and online.
“He has accepted all the responsibility
that came with the action. We’re mindful
that we don’t have our manager and we
have to be respectful of the umpires. And
maybe even respectful to them to a greater
degree as a result of what they may be
feeling.”
Guillen said he won’t stop using social
media.
“I will continue to Twitter,” he said. “I
just won’t tweet during the game. I’ve
been tweeting for two years. That’s the
first time I ever, ever tweet about baseball.
Look what happened. I learned a lesson.”

Herbstreit takes Twitter
time out after Buckeyes bashing
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — ESPN analyst and former Ohio
State quarterback Kirk Herbstreit is taking a timeout on
Twitter after receiving criticism from fans of his alma
mater.
In an interview with WGFX 104.5
The Zone in his new hometown of
Nashville on Thursday, Herbstreit said
it was “asinine” he had to defend his
allegiance to the Buckeyes. Herbstreit
has questioned how coach Jim Tressel
can keep his job amid allegations of
lying to the NCAA.
“I just felt it wasn’t for me as I
already have sufficient ways to commu-
Kurt Herbstreit nicate my thoughts on college football,”
Herbstreit said in a statement through
ESPN on Friday.
Herbstreit said in the radio interview he wouldn’t interact
with fans through social media “for a while.” His Twitter
account has been taken down.
Herbstreit is hardly the first sports figure to be tweaked by
tweets.
Manchester United midfielder Darron Gibson closed his
Twitter account Monday just two hours after opening it fol-
lowing a flood of abusive comments.

The buildup to
Decision Day
By Jeremy Venook
F
or legions of high school
seniors, Sunday, May 1 is
Decision Day.
Strange as it sounds, that’s not a
made-up moniker — the thousands
of colleges that make up America’s
higher education
system appar-
ently collaborat-
ed and made the
joint decision
that, just as
acceptances
would all be
sent before April
1, students had
until May 1 to decide where they
would be spending the next years of
their lives. This means April can be
a pretty frenetic month for people
with a choice between several desti-
nations as they scramble to book
flights and hotel reservations for
official visiting weekends which,
ironically, never seem to match up
with high schools’ spring break.
In essence, that day is the culmi-
nation of several months of prepa-
ration and anticipation. I officially
began the process this summer with
very rough drafts of what would
become my two main essays, about
my love of information and the
children’s book “The Phantom
Tollbooth” (and when I say rough, I
mean really rough — aside from
the general thrusts of the essays, the
finished products are almost unrec-
ognizable). I also had a bit of a
head start, having followed along as
my brother went through the exact
same experience two years ago.
And don’t believe the hype when
the schools direct you to the
“Common” Application — I spent
the better part of first semester up
to my ears in drafts of seemingly
countless supplemental essays on
every topic from why I wanted to
go to a certain school to “Describe
something you don’t know.”
But of course, that’s not all that
goes into the process; there are also
three previous years of high school,
three years of keeping up grades
and engaging in extracurricular
activities. Once we’ve gone that far,
you could even trace the process as
far back as you want — I’ve been
working since I first discovered my
love of theater; since I first cracked
open a trivia book; since I began to

‘Fast Five’ revs up
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
If the “Fast Five” filmmakers had
thrown in giant, shape-shifting
robots, talking apes and some vam-
pires, the fifth installment in “The
Fast and the Furious” franchise
would hardly have been more out-
landish.
That said, the movie will get you
where you’re going. Pretty cars,
prettier women, insanely absurd
action that truly thrills even as it
shatters all physical laws, and
enough testosterone-fueled violence
to satisfy the most-rabid WWE
SmackDown crowd.
Opting for a blowout of a movie
with no restraints whatsoever, the
filmmakers wisely add former
wrestling superstar Dwayne
Johnson as a relentless federal agent
to go toe-to-toe with Vin Diesel’s
driving ace Dom Toretto, who’s
again on the run along with his sis-
ter, Mia (Jordana Brewster), and
cop-turned-outlaw Brian O’Conner
(Paul Walker).
Any thwack from the inevitable
Diesel-Johnson slug-fest might kill
an ordinary human, but these char-
acters basically are comic-book fig-
ures, so they’re able to wail the
innards out of each other and come
through with only a cosmetic bruise
or two.

Five great car movies
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Surely, the
world didn’t need a fifth install-
ment in “The Fast and the Furious”
franchise, but here it is — “Fast
Five,” roaring into theaters this
weekend. The impossible car chas-
es and stunts, the muscular men and
gorgeous women are all back. So
hey, at least you know what you’re
getting.
And it provides a good opportu-
nity to discuss five great car movies
— although what constitutes a car
movie is up for debate. Is it a film
in which the cars are the star, or
there’s one thrilling chase scene, or
the road trip is the destination? We
tested several of them. Your
mileage may differ.
“Two-Lane Blacktop” (1971):
A languid, existential journey
rather than a heart-pounding adven-
ture, and that’s what makes director
Monte Hellman’s film so fascinat-
ing. James Taylor and Dennis
Wilson play two

auto racers: a

Along with the girl who randomly

their lives, they agree to race
G.T.O. to Washington. The perva-
sive feeling of detachment is meant
to metaphor for a national sense of
melancholy at the end of the 1960s.
But you’re welcome to just enjoy

of not just who the characters are,
but who they dream of becoming.
They’re not just a mode of trans-

WICKED PLANTS. Paralysis, strangula-

misdeeds of the plant kingdom chronicled by
author Amy Stewart in Wicked Plants: The
Weed That Killed Lincoln’s Mother & Other
Botanical Atrocities. And now, it’s mayhem
under glass, as the San Francisco
Conservatory of Flowers transforms its
Special Exhibits Gallery into a Victorian gar-
den full of Mother Nature’s most appalling
creations. Building on the plant portraits in
Stewart’s book, the Conservatory introduces
visitors to living examples of infamous plants
that have left their mark on history and
claimed many an unfortunate victim. As vis-
itors enter the exhibition, they find them-
selves in a mysterious, untended yard behind
a ramshackle Victorian home. A man is
slumped over a table, a goblet in his lifeless
hand, as the lady of the house flees in the
background. Crows caw and a rusty gate
creaks. In the overgrown garden, moss cov-
ered statues rise out of an unruly thicket of
alluring plants. Beautiful flowers and glisten-
ing berries bewitch the eye, but consider
yourself warned — here lurk some of the
greatest killers of all time. Some of the more
than 30 infamous species on view are the cas-
tor bean, a dramatic shrub with poisonous
seeds, implicated in the 1978 umbrella mur-
der of communist defector BBC journalist
Georgi Markov; white snakeroot, a weed that
took the life of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, moth-

Q: What is CuriOdyssey? What does it
mean?
A: CuriOdyssey is an invented word that
we believe reflects the journey a child experi-
ences as he/she explores the natural world. At
CuriOdyssey, we provide the tools and envi-
ronment for children to engage with the nat-
ural world at their own pace and draw their
own conclusions about how the world works.
Fundamentally, engagement with the natural
world requires curiosity – something that
comes naturally to children. We allow chil-
dren’s curiosity to take them to new under-
standing of the world around them. We allow
children to direct their own learning journey.
Q: Did Coyote Point Museum close? Is
this a new organization? Are the same peo-
ple running the organization?
A: CuriOdyssey is simply the new name of
the Coyote Point Museum Association and
represents a change in name only. It does not
alter our mission to inspire people to take
care of our Earth wisely or our vision that
people consider the environment in all that
they do. We continue to have the same

I wish that last sentence were a joke. It’s
not uncommon to find parents of kindergart-
ners browsing the bookstore aisles for books
with titles like “Successful Harvard
Application Essays” and “The Fiske Guide to
Top Colleges.” In my column about hyper-
parenting last month, I referenced authors
who tout ways for parents to ensure that their

careful guidance from birth. And, in my per-

I was already heading into the summer after
my junior year.
Now, it’s no exaggeration to say that the
college admissions game is a daunting one;
I’ve heard that this year was, across the
board, one of the most selective in history
when it came to graduating seniors. With
record numbers of students in their applicant
pools, UC Berkeley and UCLA admitted 21
percent and 25 percent respectively; the Ivy
Leagues dipped into single digits, with
Harvard setting a new low at 6.2 percent of
over 30,000 applicants getting proverbial fat
envelopes (after all, decisions are almost all
online at this point). But taking significant
steps before the process really begins before
senior year — toward the end of junior year
at the earliest — is a little ridiculous.
After all, clichéd though it may sound, the
trick for applying to college (at least, for me)
was really just a matter of finding what I
enjoyed and was successful at and pursuing
those interests; I never took up anything for
the sole purpose of appealing to colleges, and
I recommend against it. It isn’t about enter-
ing every competition since second grade or
signing a kid up for bassoon lessons that will
be irresistible to admissions officers every-
where. For me, it was about having real
experiences I could write about, find real
aspects in my life that pushed me toward the
right school for me.
So now, my classmates and I are putting in
that final push, stocking up on “Class of
2015” gear and signing up for a spot at col-
lege along with paperwork for tuition
deposits and scholarships. As for me, I’ve
already committed and begun filling out the
forms and, having spent the last four years
making the most of my time in high school,
I’m certainly excited to be moving on for a
whole new experience for the next four.

flicks, step up the silliness of the dialogue and
the characters’ mannerisms to let the audience
in on the joke that no one is supposed to take
any of this seriously. People strut and pro-
nounce in such farcical fashion that it goes
beyond stupid and somehow becomes, if not
clever, at least crafty.
The filmmakers do actually achieve clever-
ness with a surprise or two. You’ll want to stay
through a portion of the end-credits to catch
one of them, a jolting tease for the franchise’s
preordained sixth installment after “Fast Five”
hauls in its fortune.
In the current story, Dom is hunting his own
fortune after Brian and Mia break him out of
custody in a dementedly excessive prison-bus
escape. Hiding out in Rio de Janeiro, the three
join a daring car heist that puts them at odds
with local crime boss Reyes (Joaquim de
Almeida) and sets super agent Hobbs
(Johnson) on their trail.
So Dom decides to get the band back
together, enlisting an “Ocean’s Eleven”-style
ensemble of past “Fast and the Furious” row-
dies to part Reyes from his millions.
Returning as part of the team are Tyrese
Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Sung
Kang, Gal Gadot, Matt Schulze, Tego
Calderon and Don Omar.
Elsa Pataky joins the cast as possibly
Brazil’s lone honest police officer, a woman
tapped by Hobbs to help him chase down
Toretto’s gang.
But words like honest don’t mean much in
the “Fast Five” world, where good guys are
bad, bad guys are good, and only the really,
really bad guys get what they’ve got coming.
There’s no moral compass here (and appar-
ently no clock, either; the movie runs much
too long, and despite the breathless pace, the
trip does start to wear on you).
The only compass is the one pointing down
the road straight ahead, down which “The Fast
and the Furious” flicks will keep moving
faster and faster. Maybe the filmmakers can
do a little “Alice in Wonderland” rhyming and
call the next one “Furiouser and Furiouser.”

ing, flirting, getting into trouble. But regard-
less of the setting, this is a time we can all
relate to: when having a car equals freedom.
“Bullitt” (1968):
Peter Yates’ film features what is considered
one of the definitive car chases in movie his-
tory — “The French Connection” has another
— but just having Steve McQueen as its star
makes it sufficiently bad-ass. As a cop deter-
mined to find out who killed the mob witness
he was protecting, McQueen zips up and
down the hilly streets of San Francisco and
skids around corners in his Mustang, trying to
evade a couple of gangsters in a Charger.
Sure, you could count the number of hubcaps
that fly off a car and come up with a number
that’s greater than four. Still, the scene is shot
and edited in such a clean, uncomplicated
way, it’s 10 minutes of pure tension.
“Christine” (1983):
It’s a car! It’s a killing machine! It’s ... both!
Director John Carpenter adapted the Stephen
King novel — one horror master playing off
another — and this tale about a bright red
1958 Plymouth Fury that does much more
than get you from point A to point B remains
darkly funny and deeply chilling.
Keith Gordon stars as the nerdy teenager
who finds the car with plans to fix it up, but
he ends up becoming the one who undergoes
major changes. The car gives him confi-
dence and makes him popular — but then
she gets jealous when she realizes she can’t
have him all to herself. Good, silly, twisted
fun.
“The Fast and the Furious” (2001):
And here we are, back at the beginning,
with the first movie in the series. Of course it’s
ridiculous, but audaciously so, and that’s the
film’s charm. By bringing underground street
racing to the masses, it knows exactly what it
is and revels in it. Led by Vin Diesel, Jordana
Brewster and Paul Walker, everyone’s beauti-
ful and they say incredibly idiotic things like:
“I live my life a quarter-mile at a time.” The
main draw, though, is the racing itself, full of
souped-up cars in splashy colors. The compe-
titions are shot and edited seamlessly. They
are, hence the title, fast and furious.

William weds Kate as billions watch
By Paisley Dodds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — With not one but two kisses
and tender whispered words, Prince William
and Kate Middleton smiled and blushed
Friday as they started their life as future king
and queen. A day of seamless pageantry
inspired hopes that this royal couple might
live happily ever after.
They appeared at ease throughout their
wedding day, with William fighting back gig-
gles at times, while Kate’s smile lit up televi-
sion screens, especially when her new hus-
band leaned over to say, “You look beautiful.”
Their intimacy stood in sharp contrast to
the lack of chemistry between a wooden
Prince Charles and Diana Spencer 30 years
ago when they began a marriage that ulti-
mately collapsed in embarrassing tabloid
headlines and turned many Britons against
the monarchy.
A million people lined the procession route
from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham
Palace, many crying with joy. Cheers went up
as the couple exchanged the traditional kiss
on the balcony, followed by chants of “One
more kiss!” The couple waved and smiled
and, to a frenzy of delight, obliged.
An estimated 2 billion people tuned into the
live broadcast in what may have been the
most-viewed event in history.
The security operation was the largest since
Charles and Diana’s 1981 wedding, and the
day went off without a hitch. Police dispersed
scattered protests from anti-monarchists and
anarchists and arrested 55 people for offenses
including drunkenness, breach of peace, and
theft, but the mood was overwhelmingly cele-
bratory.
“Everybody’s happy, everybody’s united,”
said 61-year-old Sabry Darwish, who was in
the crowd watching the parade route.
“Everybody is behind the bride and groom.”
Many praised the couple’s rare combination
WEEKEND JOURNAL Weekend • April 30 - May 1, 2011 25
of humility, humor and grace. Kate was a
commoner from a wealthy but middle-class
family who actually worked for a living after
university; William has long had his mother’s
touch in connecting to the public, and sur-
prised fans who slept on the pavement
overnight by personally thanking them
Thursday for braving the cold.
The 28-year-old prince even displayed a
quality almost never seen among royalty:
humor. Surveying the 1,900 guests filling the
abbey in their wedding finery, he turned to his
father-in-law, Michael Middleton, and
quipped: “We’re supposed to have just a small
family affair.”
Then after a reception at Buckingham
Palace, he took his new wife for a spin, driv-
ing a dark-blue Aston Martin Volante fes-
tooned with ribbons, bows and balloons —
and a license plate that read “JU5T WED.”
It was the kind of display that made some
wonder whether the couple just might bring
the British monarchy back from the abyss.
“It’s a real turning point for the royal fami-
ly,” Nicki Hookings, 47, said at one of thou-
sands of street parties across Britain to cele-
brate the national holiday.
For much of the world, the wedding was a
dramatic reaffirmation of 29-year-old Kate’s
beguiling star power. Despite the pressure,
she carried the day with an easy smile, youth-
ful exuberance and a sense of decorum that
matched the event. And when it was over all
over, she curtsied easily before Queen
Elizabeth II, comfortably sharing the stage
with the woman who has reigned since 1952.

“It’s one happy event in the world right
now,” said San Francisco attorney Laura
Claster, who traveled to London to be with the
crowds. “It gives us a day of celebration to
forget the troubles in the world.”

POLICY
Continued from page 1
in California dropped from 30 percent to 15
percent of the fund.
An updated policy has not been adopted by
the board since 2008, the year of the Lehman
collapse. A key reason was former treasurer-
tax collector Lee Buffington wouldn’t vet the
policy in the Finance and Operations
Committee before taking it to the full Board of
Supervisors, Arnott said.
Arnott, who was Buffington’s second-in-
command, said putting a new policy in place
helps her office and the county move forward
with greater transparency which is why she
proactively pushed it forward. The county’s
Treasury Oversight Committee unanimously
approved the policy April 25. She next brings
the policy to the finance committee
Wednesday and, if it agrees, to the full board
at a future meeting for approval. The policy
will also go to all county investment pool par-
ticipants for their written acknowledgment of
the update.
While no changes can completely insulate
the county’s coffers from future financial hits,
Arnott said the conservative approach is cer-
tainly more protective that 2008’s more liber-
al policy.
“We’ve really scaled back and, while the
policy has not yet been approved, we’re fol-
lowing its guidelines and, in fact, living by a
much more conservative method of invest-
ment,” Arnott said.
The investment pool is currently doing well
and exceeding percentage expectations but the
real key is having the economy turn around in
the next year or so, she said.
OROZCO

Rodriguez’s family, Stauffer said.
“His sister spoke in court and the whole
family feels this sense of closure,” he said.
Had Orozco, whose first jury hung, opted
for a retrial and been convicted, he faced life
in prison without the possibility of parole.
Orozco was just 14 when charged with mur-
der, gun and gang allegations in Rodriguez’s
death. The case gave Orozco the dubious dis-
tinction of being the youngest person ever
charged as an adult with murder in San Mateo
County. Two years later, he became the first
ward to escape from the county’s recently
opened juvenile hall.
Orozco was not charged with the escape
attempt although jurors in the 2009 trial
learned of it from Stauffer who argued fleeing
showed consciousness of guilt. Jurors primari-
ly were asked to decide if Orozco was a cold-
blooded killer looking to earn respect of fel-
low gangmembers or a shy boy with a low IQ
who the convicted getaway driver ordered to
confess.
According to Stauffer, Orozco shot
Rodriguez as the man tried running for safety,
slowed by a deformed leg. Orozco, who
Stauffer contended was an active participant
in a Sureño gang if not a full-fledged member,
gathered into a car his troops carrying a gun, a
bat and a shank and sought out Norteños as
payback for an earlier slight. They circled
Rodriguez twice, covered their faces with blue
rags and Orozco struck, he said.
BUDGET
Continued from page 1
workers next year, however, to spread out its
commitment to the state retirement fund.
The California Public Employees’ Retirement
System approved a hardship request from the
city for fiscal year 2011-12, which will reduce
the city’s pension contribution rate by 9.6 per-
cent for police and firefighters.
Foster City works in five-year financial plans
and is looking closely at capital projects and
other city services for future cost savings.
Moving forward, the council will consider
which capital projects to pursue, whether to
replace aging vehicles or purchase new equip-
ment and to continue to fund shuttles for seniors
WEEKEND JOURNAL
Lehman remains “a big gray cloud” hanging
over the office and Arnott said she is “very
aware I remain under a microscope.”
She’s already given supervisors lessons in
how to understand the monthly investment
reports and plans to meet with school superin-
tendents May 20 for similar explanations.
“We want them to know what’s going on
with their money,” Arnott said.
After Lehman fell in September 2008, some
pool participants cried foul not only over the
loss but also because they claim the county did
not keep them properly updated leading up to
the bankruptcy.
The county investment pool includes 1,050
different accounts from cities, school districts
and special agencies. It had 5.9 percent of its
$2.6 billion in Lehman Brothers.
The pool lost approximately $155 million
total, including $20 million from school dis-
tricts that later sued the county and $25 mil-
lion from the San Mateo County
Transportation Authority.
Consultants hired by the county after the
loss concluded Buffington’s office did nothing
wrong because it adhered to the investment
policy currently in place.
San Mateo County is seeking to recoup its
losses through bankruptcy court and the
unique step of suing the company’s individual
executives and accountants, too.
The Finance and Operations Subcommittee
meets Wednesday, May 4 in the Board of
Supervisors Conference Room, First Floor,

During Orozco’s first trial, he claimed con-
victed getaway driver Faustino Ayala was the
shooter and a man named Chongo was the
driver. Defense attorney Ray Buenaventura
claimed the prosecution tailored its evidence
to convict Orozco rather than focusing on the
truth of the case.
After the murder, Orozco, Ayala and three
minors including Orozco’s brother were
arrested. The minors were convicted of mur-
der in juvenile court but Orozco, then 17,
escaped juvenile hall in February 2008 before
he and Ayala stood trial. Ayala was singularly
convicted of second-degree murder and sen-
tenced to 46 years to life in prison.
Orozco was apprehended in Texas while
allegedly burglarizing houses and extradited
back to California for trial.
In December 2009, jurors split almost even-
ly between guilt and innocence and a judge
declared a mistrial. In January, prosecutors
announced retrial plans. The next month, the
District Attorney’s Office also announced
Orozco was suspected of organizing five other
alleged Sureño gangmembers outside of jail
between May 2009 and March 2010 to threat-
en witnesses into changing testimony or not
appearing. The plan was uncovered through
jailhouse phone records during the last half of
the first trial.
Three of the conspirators took plea deals
and prosecutors dropped charges against
another due to insufficient evidence. Another,
Alexander Stephen Villar, 20, is scheduled for
trial July 11.

as it moves to adopt next year’s budget this
June.
To combat declining revenue, the council
voted earlier this year to place an increase to the
hotel tax on the November ballot. Foster City
residents will decide whether to tax out-of-town
visitors an extra 2 percent to stay at the city’s
two hotels, which is expected to generate about
$300,000 a year.
The city intends to have a fully balanced
budget by the end of fiscal year 2012-13 with-

Syrian protest intensifies
By Bassem Mroue
and Elizabeth A. Kennedy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT — Thousands of defiant
Syrians chanting “We are not afraid!”
were met by security forces firing bullets
and tear gas Friday in a crackdown on
nationwide protests that left 42 people
dead — many of them villagers trying to
break an army blockade of the southern
city where the six-week uprising began.
President Bashar Assad again
unleashed deadly force in a determined
effort to crush the revolt, the gravest
challenge to his family’s 40-year ruling
dynasty.
Although still in control, he will strug-
gle to recover legitimacy at home and
abroad if he manages to stay in power.
The United States slapped three top offi-
cials in his regime — including his
brother — with sanctions and nations
agreed to launch a U.N.-led investiga-
tion of Syria’s crackdown.
Human rights groups say about 500
people have been killed since the upris-
ing began.
Many of the 42 people killed Friday
were in Daraa, said human rights activist
Attacks in Iraq kill 10, including 8-year-old girl
By Mazin Yahya
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD — Attacks killed 10 peo-
ple around Iraq on Friday, including the
8-year-old daughter of an imam who
preached against violence and three
police officers ambushed in Baghdad,
officials said.
The string of bombings and shootings
underlined the security concerns Iraq
still faces as American troops prepare to
leave the country by the end of this year.
Iraq’s prime minister maintains the
Jordanians shout during a protest in solidarity with the the protesters in the Syrian
town of Deraa,at the closed border crossing with Syria.

Thousands of people from the out-

siege on the town Friday, but security
country is able to provide for its own
internal security, but U.S. officials say
Iraq must decide soon whether to ask
any of the remaining American forces to
stay past their Dec. 31 departure date.
In Baghdad, a bomb went off in a pre-
dominantly Shiite neighborhood in
southeastern Baghdad, killing three
police commandos and one civilian and
wounding 24 policemen and five civil-
ians, said police and medical officials.
As police arrived on the scene to investi-

rights groups said.
A witness in Daraa said residents

under siege by the military since
Monday, when thousands of soldiers
backed by tanks and snipers stormed in.
blasts to lure in security and medical
personnel who arrive on the scene to
help and then fall victim to the subse-
quent blast.
In the mixed Sunni-Shiite province of
Diyala, gunmen stormed the home of the
imam in a small village 30 miles (50
kilometers) northeast of the provincial
capital of Baqouba on Friday morning,
police and medical officials said.
The imam, his wife and their 8-year-
old daughter were killed. Police said the
imam had preached against sectarian
violence.

Tunisia rebukes Libya over cross-border incursions
TRIPOLI, Libya — A battle between Libyan troops and
rebels spilled over the western border into Tunisia Friday,
drawing a sharp rebuke of Moammar Gadhafi’s regime from
the neighboring government.
Clashes along the Tunisian border have escalated since
Thursday, posing a new challenge for Gadhafi within the west-
ern half of the country where he must consolidate his control
to cling to power. Rebels captured most of the east early on in
the uprising against Gadhafi that began in February.
On the other major front in western Libya, NATO foiled
attempts by regime loyalists to close the only access route to
the besieged rebel city of Misrata, intercepting boats that were
laying anti-ship mines in the waters around the port. The port
is the only lifeline for the city of 300,000, which has been
under siege for two months.
Libyan government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said he was
unaware of the attempted mine-laying, but said the government
is trying to prevent weapons shipments from reaching the
rebels by sea. He said aid such shipments must be coordinated
with the authorities and should preferably come overland.
The government offensive on the Tunisian border along with
shelling that killed 15 in Misrata on Friday and the attempt to
mine the Misrata port show the regime is redoubling efforts to
crush stubborn pockets of resistance in the west.
Late leftist surge spices up Canadian election
TORONTO — Until a few days ago, Monday’s election
looked set to give Canada another mandate for the
Conservative government. Instead, Prime Minister Stephen
Harper could be out of a job if polls are right in predicting a
late surge for the left.
The unexpected gains for the New Democratic Party have
upended previous soundings that predicted the Conservatives
would get enough votes to form a minority government, per-
haps even a majority one. Now a new scenario has emerged in
which the New Democrats and the Liberals together win
enough seats to eventually form a coalition.
“We’ve had an earthquake here and it’s all happening very
quickly,” said Nelson Wiseman, professor at the University of
Toronto, after EKOS, a private polling company, gave the
Conservatives 33.7 percent, the New Democrats 28 and the
Liberals 23.7. The pollsters said they questioned 3,000 voters
and gave a margin of error of 1.8 percentage points. A series of
other polls have since reported similar results.
It was a shock on two levels: for suggesting the
Conservatives might be edged out of office by a late surge, and
for predicting that the New Democrats would eclipse the
Liberals, throughout Canadian history the party either in power
or leading the opposition.
