Thursday afternoon as a 21-year vet-
eran of the department died after
being injured while batting a blaze in
the city’s Diamond Heights neighbor-

Lt. Vincent Perez, 48, was one of
three firefighters injured in the blaze,
which was reported at 10:44 a.m. at a
four-story home at 133 Berkeley Way.
All three were taken to San

dreadful budget
Deferred maintenance,one-time funds
keep stations open and trains running

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Caltrain will keep on running its
full schedule with no station clo-
sures next year as the Peninsula
Corridor Joint Powers Board
approved a $103.8 million operating
budget yesterday, the highest in the
transit agency’s history.
A $30 million deficit, however,
was closed with one-time schemes
that do not solve Caltrain’s long-
term structural deficit.
Staff is already working on a fis-
cal year 2012-13 spending plan to
avoid having to declare another fis-
cal emergency next year as it has the
past two years.
The operating budget was closed
by deferring millions of dollars in
maintenance to Caltrain’s aging
fleet, a fact that could prove more
costly down the road, said April
Chan, director of budget and grants.

Auction of Unabomber
mementos nets about $190K
SAN FRANCISCO — The very tech-
nology that the Unabomber railed
against during his murderous spree was
used Thursday to help some of his vic-
tims.
An unusual online auction of Ted
Kaczynski’s personal items that ended
Thursday garnered about $190,000 for
his victims and their family members.
They want the so-called Unabomber to
pay for the 16 explosions he set off that
killed three and injured 23 others across
the country.
Kaczynski’s personal journals fetched
$40,676; the iconic hooded sweatshirt
and sunglasses depicted in police sketch
artist renderings accounted for $20,025;
and his handwritten “manifesto” sold for
$20,053. Other popular items included
$22,003 for the Smith Corona typewriter
used to write manifestos sent to newspa-
pers and later seized from the cabin and
the property seized from his remote
Montana cabin during a 1996 raid.
States consider: Is it
legal to dissolve bodies?
COLUMBUS, Ohio — More states are
opening the door for funeral businesses to
dissolve bodies with lye and heat instead
of burning or burying the remains.
Changes taking effect this year allow the
use of alkaline hydrolysis in Colorado,
Kansas and Maryland. Lawmakers in New
York and California also are considering it.
Funeral directors are starting a push to
make it legal in Ohio, where regulators
blocked the only U.S. funeral home to use
the procedure so far.
The process is generating buzz at funer-
al industry association meetings and in
mortuary science classes.
Proponents say the process has lower
operating costs and is more environmen-
tally friendly than cremation. But skeptics
question the social implications of sending
someone’s remains down the drain, and
whether it’s safe for the environment and
public health.

Hospital fined for surgery error
Mills-Peninsula can pay $50,000 fine or appeal state decision
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
State public health officials fined Mills-
Peninsula Medical Center in Burlingame
$50,000 for not conducting a sponge check
during an eye surgery and leaving a small
fragment in a patient’s right eye.
The administrative penalty, the first ever
issued to the hospital, was one of 12 statewide
announced Thursday by the California
Department of Public Health. Specifically, the
penalty cites the hospital for endangering the
patient’s safety by not following its own sur-
gical policies and procedures for counting
sponges.
On Dec. 14, 2009, the patient underwent
surgery to treat glaucoma and swelling in the
right eye and was released the same day.
During the procedure, three small sponges
soaked in an antibiotic were placed in the
area. Nine days later, he went to an outpatient
clinic with discomfort in the eye and a doctor
found a small sponge fragment protruding
from the thin membrane covering the white
surface of the eyeball. The patient had a sec-

Two home burglaries
reported in Hillsborough
San Mateo County authorities are warning
residents to be cautious after two home bur-
glaries were reported in Hillsborough on
Wednesday.
The burglaries occurred between 8 a.m. and
6:30 p.m. in the 700 block of Bowhill Road
and the 1300 block of Hayne Road,
Hillsborough police said.
The suspects entered the homes through
ond surgery that day to remove the fragment,
according to the department’s summary of the
case.
The following month, interviews with the
operating room nursing director, registered
nurse and scrub tech told state public health
investigators the only sponge count done dur-
ing eye surgery is an “internal” tally by the
surgeon, according to the case summary.
However, the Department of Public Health
pointed to a hospital policy dated June 2009
which states that sponge counts will be done
an “all surgical procedures in which the possi-
bility exists that a sponge could be retained”
and that the RN and scrub technician will
“simultaneously, visually and verbally count
all countable items.”
The failure to follow the policy constituted
“an immediate jeopardy,” concluded the
department.
Mills-Peninsula must pay the penalty and
submit to the department a plan of correction
to prevent repeat errors or request an appeal
hearing within 10 days.
The hospital — without admitting or agree-
ing to the summary of facts in the Jan. 8, 2010
complaint — conducted a root cause analysis

have strings attached. The policy was also
revised so sponge counts are required during
glaucoma and sterygiaum surgeries or if
sponges were used for any purpose, including
the instillation of medication. Lastly, the sur-
geon involved in the case tested different
types of sponges and found all had the poten-
tial to shred when soaked in medicine. He now

than inserting a whole or piece into the space.
There will also a final pause during eye sur-
geries to confirm every object is accounted for

Fall council race already beginning
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The decision to temporarily fill
deceased mayor Omar Ahmad’s
vacant council seat remains unknown
but at least one San Carlos resident is
formally announcing plans to run for
the permanent position in the fall.
Ron Collins, owner of Collins
Insurance and Investment Services
and Chamber of Commerce presi-
dent-elect, said he would have been
the first person cheering on Ahmad’s
bid for re-election if the 46-year-old
mayor had not unexpected died from
a heart attack May 10. However, with
Ahmad’s seat empty and up for grabs
in November for a full term, Collins
said it is time. He is not putting his
name up for consideration of an inter-
im position now because he prefers to
serve in the long-term rather than the
six-month assignment to be appointed
by the remaining councilmembers.
Applicants for the temporary slot are
being asked not to run in November
and Collins believes he has skills that
lend themselves to a larger commit-
ment.
“This is going to come down to
experience, familiarity with the issues
and connection with the people.
Hopefully, the people will see that,”
Collins said.
After getting the official OK from
his wife of nearly 35 years, Gayle,
Collins decided it was time to seek
public office. He admittedly isn’t a big
fan of campaigning and a 1987 bid for
school board failed. However, this
time, Collins believes he has done
more networking and has more expe-
rience in his arsenal and is eager to
help the City Council follow through
on issues current and pending.
He is forming a campaign commit-
tee, gotten a manager and treasurer in
place and is now starting the day-to-
day work to convince voters he’s the
guy. Unlike political battles in other
cities, the upcoming campaign takes
face time and shoe leather, he said.
“In our city, you have to walk,” he
said.
Collins has lived 43 of his 60 years
in San Carlos and other San Mateo
County cities in between — a life-
long county resident if you don’t
count dorm rooms during his college
years at the University of California at
Los Angeles, he jokes.
He graduated from Carlmont High
School in Belmont and in 1986, after
stints in Belmont and San Carlos,
returned to the city so his two children
could experience the schools.
Since his return, Collins belonged
to the Kiwanis Club for more than 15
years, including two turns as presi-
dent, became involved in the
Chamber of Commerce — he’s now
ready to assume the president’s seat
and chaired the government affairs
council — and sat on the board of
directors of HIP Housing for nine
years. He also ran former mayor Don
Eaton’s council campaign, spent four
years on the Planning Commission
and was named last year to the city’s
LOCAL
Economic Development Advisory
Commission.
“I’m fairly close to civic affairs and
politics. I’ve got the experience and
the commitment to see the job that
needs to be done through,” he said.
Collins said he doesn’t subscribe to
any deep political ideologies short of
“what’s best for the town.” He defers
when asked which current coun-
cilmembers he best aligns with but
said of the group’s past few votes he
would have most likely agreed with
Ahmad, Andy Klein and Randy
Royce. Sometimes Bob Grassilli, too,
and even Matt Grocott at times
although he has “quite a different
viewpoint.”
If Collins is elected, he anticipates
weighing in on possible development
of Wheeler Plaza and the transit vil-
lage. There is also high-speed rail
looming. Collins said he has “certain
ideas” about all of them but learned
from his time on the Planning
Commission not to make up his mind
until the meeting.
He agreed with the City Council’s
moves to outsource police and fire
services because Collins, who said he
voted in favor of all the city tax issues
like Measure U and the fire parcel
assessment, said there were no other
options.
“If we didn’t do something dramat-
ic, we’d go bankrupt and nobody
wants the city to be another Vallejo,”
he said.
Fire, which is still being worked out
as a hybrid model with Redwood
City, was “a bit more volatile” but no
less necessary, he said.
“They did the only thing they could
do that makes sense,” he said.
He was intrigued by Wackenhut,
Inc.’s proposal for a privately run
department but had concerns about its
lack of experience doing so on a
municipal level.
“I realized at the time it was really a
political decision and possibly we
could have been setting ourselves up,”
he said.
Plans for a new city marketing and
branding campaign is in the pipeline,
which Collins called “exciting” and a
way to make potential businesses
more inclined to set up shop.
He is also motivated by the city
having a balanced budget for the first
time in a decade — a topic of conver-
sation with Ahmad just four days
before he died, Collins said.
Collins is the first person to formal-
ly announce his candidacy in the
November election although Royce
has said he will also run for re-elec-
tion. The official filing period is
Monday, July 18 through 5 p.m.
Friday, Aug. 12. If Royce, the remain-
ing incumbent, opts not to run, the
deadline will be extended to
Wednesday, Aug. 10.
Interviews by the City Council for
the interim position will be held next
week.

Teen arrested for burglary,
second suspect sought
A man returning home to his C Street
home in Redwood City yesterday
morning discovered two male juveniles
attempting to pry open his rear sliding
glass door, according to police.
The victim yelled at the suspects who
then fled and a chase ensued, according
to police. Responding officers located
one of the teens in the area of Mezes
Park. The suspect, a 16-year-old Menlo
Park resident, was identified by the vic-
tim and was booked into the San Mateo
County Juvenile Detention Center for
burglary and possession of burglary
tools, according to police.
Anyone who has any information
regarding this burglary is encouraged to
contact Detective Val Cook (650) 780-

At about 4 p.m. May 27, jewelry and
other items were taken from the home
and in his hurry to leave, Jason Davis,
34, allegedly left his cellphone behind.
In the phone, detectives noticed a num-

Aggressive Cremation Group:
Seniors Targeted - Beware
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE – They
are at it again!
Recently I was
made aware of a
new cluster of mass
mailings being sent
to Seniors by a
group calling
themselves “Smart Cremation” (similar to
the mailings sent earlier this year by the
“Trident Society”). Several Seniors have
come to me asking who is “Smart
Cremation”, where did they come from and
my opinion on their legitimacy.
When ever I hear about mailings from
“quickie” cremation outfits that target
Seniors I am always suspicious about their
intensions. It is a fact that various
unscrupulous entities target Seniors because
they are thought of as “Easy Prey”.
I did some investigating and found out
the following: According to the website
“Ripoff Report” the group calling
themselves “Smart Cremation” is run by
“Jerry Norman” who was allegedly fired as
CEO of the Neptune Society. “Smart
Cremation” is linked to “Accucare” and
“Gateway Crematory” who are all one in the
same. “Smart Cremation” and the other
above names exist under the umbrella of
“Northstar Memorial Group” in Houston,
Texas. There is apparently some concern on
how “Smart Cremation” collects and holds
money from the Seniors they are targeting.
Yes, I know…there are a lot of names &
details to sink in…but there’s more…

has been printing materials which are

and U.S. flag envelopes mailed to Veterans,

Also, “Smart Cremation” advertizes
themselves as being “green” and “earth
friendly” when in reality the process they
use to cremate is no different than any other
crematory in the United States. It is well
documented that toxic greenhouse gases are
emitted into the atmosphere during the
cremation process. An example of a true
green option would be a natural type burial
certified by the “Green Burial Council”.

Murder defendant Controller says he will
asks for speedy trial halt lawmakers’ pay
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Hillsborough man facing a fall murder
trial for allegedly shooting his friend several
times in his parents’ pool home exerted his
right to a speedy prosecution, pushing the
schedule up to next month.
However, Bradley Allen Kleiman’s defense
attorney on Friday is expected to move the
new July 18 trial date back to the original
Nov. 7 schedule after conferring with his
client.
Kleiman’s change of heart over trial timing
came during a routine appearance to plead not
guilty to murder and gun charges. After doing
so, Kleiman told the court he felt the defense
was ready to proceed and he no longer waived
his right to timely trial. Later that day, his
defense attorney put the matter back on the
court calendar June 3 and it is anticipated the
trial date will revert back, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Kleiman’s trial already stalled once while
court-appointed doctors evaluated his mental
fitness. Two of three doctors agreed he was
competent and criminal proceedings were
reinstated last month.

Perez’s two brothers also serve the commu-
nity — one is a San Francisco police officer
and the other is an Oakland police officer.
Dozens of firefighters gathered to salute
Perez as his body was taken out of the hospi-
tal to be transferred to the medical examiner’s
office for an autopsy.
“Our hearts are heavy and they will be for a
long time,” Hayes-White said.
This is the first time in eight years that San
Francisco has lost a firefighter in the line of
duty. In January 2003, 40-year-old firefighter
Melinda Ohler died after falling from a fire
engine as it responded to a call.
What caused Thursday’s fire remains under
investigation, fire department spokeswoman
Mindy Talmadge said.
Talmadge said some firefighters reported
seeing a “flashover,” or heat explosion, inside
the home, and around that time, an emergency
alarm was activated from one of the firefight-
ers inside the home.
Dispatch received the alert and notified the

Kleiman said he shot Calvache during a strug-

Prosecutors also say the friends had planned

When police arrived, they reportedly found
Kleiman carrying marijuana plants in the
backyard and a weapon and casings inside the
pool house.
Calvache was shot twice in the head and

Additional crew members were sent in, and
they found two firefighters down and “pretty
badly burned.”
Four residents were inside the home when
the blaze started, but they were all able to
escape without injury. American Red Cross
personnel were speaking with the home’s
occupants this afternoon.
Tom O’Connor, president of the San
Francisco firefighters union, said fires in the
Diamond Heights and Twin Peaks areas are
especially hard to fight.
“All houses are kind of upside down,” with
a story or two at the street level and at least
one or two more down the hillside, O’Connor
said.
“If things go wrong, you’re in the worst pos-
sible area” since the flames will shoot upward
from the lower levels of the home, he said.
O’Connor said a firefighter died in another
house fire in the same neighborhood in 1995.
Mayor Ed Lee came to the hospital this
afternoon to pay his respects to the firefighters
and their families, as did several other city
officials, including police Chief Greg Suhr and
supervisors David Chiu and Ross Mirkarimi.

SACRAMENTO — State Controller John
Chiang announced Thursday that he will with-
hold lawmakers’ pay starting June 16 if they
have not passed a balanced budget by then,
following through on the initiative voters
approved last November requiring an on-time
budget.
Proposition 25, the “on-time budget act,”
lowered the legislative vote requirement to
pass a budget from two-thirds to a simple
majority, but also said lawmakers would for-
feit their salary and per diems until they send
a budget to the governor. June 15 is their con-
stitutional deadline to do so.
Chiang said he concluded after reviewing
Proposition 25 that it requires a balanced
budget, and he said the early budget bills law-
makers approved in March don’t meet the test.
“In passing Proposition 25 last November,
voters clearly stated they expect their repre-
sentatives to make the difficult decisions need-
ed to resolve any budget shortfalls by the
mandatory deadline, or be penalized,” Chiang
said in a statement. “I will enforce the voters’
demand.”
He said any lost pay will not be made up
retroactively.

Man who kidnapped
girl to spend life in prison
PLACERVILLE — Jaycee Dugard refused
to “waste another second” in the presence of
the married couple she said stole her life.
She didn’t want to be in a northern
California courtroom Thursday as 60-year-old
Phillip Garrido, the serial sex offender who
kidnapped, raped and held her captive for 18
years, was ordered to spend the rest of his life
in prison and his wife, Nancy, 55, was given a
decades-long sentence.
Dugard was 11 when she was abducted by
the couple as her stepfather watched her walk
toward a school bus near her South Lake
Tahoe home in June 1991. They held her cap-
tive in a secret backyard compound. She gave
birth to two daughters, the first when she was
14, fathered by Phillip Garrido.
The couple, dressed in orange jumpsuits,
made no eye contact with anyone and kept
their heads down as the letter was read.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
The controller, a Democrat, said his review
was prompted by questions that have arisen
about whether the budget lawmakers approve
would have to be balanced, or whether their
previous budget action would count.
Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, said he
supported Chiang’s decision.
“I do not believe we should even be talking
about loopholes or ways to get around that
provision because our focus needs to be on
doing our job and passing a balanced budget,”
Perez said.
Gov. Jerry Brown has signed into law about
$11.2 billion in cuts and fund transfers, but the
state still faces a $9.6 billion budget deficit
through July 2012. He and Democratic leaders
want to extend a series of recent tax hikes to
help close the shortfall but so far have been
unable to get GOP support for that plan.
Two Republican votes in each house are
needed to meet the two-thirds vote threshold
for higher taxes or to place the question before
voters.
The state’s fiscal year starts July 1.
California’s rank-and-file lawmakers make
just over $95,000 a year, after the independent
panel that sets salaries for the 120 members of
the Legislature and 12 statewide officeholders
cut their pay by 18 percent in 2009.
Bill would ban pay-to-play
in K-12 classes, sports
SACRAMENTO — California’s K-12
schools have been charging fees for certain
classes, sports and clubs, a practice the state
Assembly has voted to end.
Democratic Assemblyman Ricardo Lara of
Bell Gardens said Thursday it is unconstitu-
tional to require students to pay for books, lab
equipment and art supplies, among other fees.
His bill, AB165, passed 50-17 and goes to
the Senate. It also prohibits schools from mak-
ing such payments a prerequisite for joining
teams or clubs.
Republican Assemblyman Donald Wagner
of Irvine says he opposes the legislation
because it puts too many restrictions on
schools.
Lara based his proposal on a lawsuit the
ACLU filed in September that argued the pay-
to-play system violated the California
Constitution. In a pending settlement, former
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger agreed to allow
monitoring to prevent those fees.

LONDON — A super-toxic bug is
causing the frightening food poison-

sickened at least 1,600 people and
killed 18, researchers and global
health officials said Thursday.
The new E. coli strain that is
believed to have contaminated salad
vegetables was analyzed by Chinese

Overcoming the growing amount of

To bridge the gap in understanding,

and why violence is a part of them.
Workshop participants will learn the
misconceptions and risk factors that

their programs and services.

virulent and toxin-producing” than
the many E. coli strains people nat-

Preliminary genetic sequencing
suggests the strain is a never before
seen combination of two different E.

that could explain why the outbreak
appears to be so massive and dan-
gerous, the agency said.
However, Dr. Robert Tauxe, a
foodborne disease expert at the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, questioned whether the
strain is entirely new and said it had
previously caused a single case in

It is the first training workshop of its
kind in the county, Netane said, with a

“There is a lack of Pacific Islanders

CITIES
Continued from page 1
to, Jacobs said.
“I wish I had an answer for why the two
cities are taking different paths,” Jacobs said.
So far, San Carlos has been dealing with
forming its new fire department in closed ses-
sion, he said.
Acting San Carlos
Mayor Andy Klein agrees
that the cities are taking
different paths and said
union officials have tried
to infuse themselves into
negotiating a new pay and
benefits package for its
new fire department.
“We have no legal rea-
Andy Klein
son to discuss the issue
with the union when they don’t represent San
Carlos employees,” Klein said.
The union represents employees in the cur-
rent joint venture, he said.
While Belmont has kept the process as
open as possible, negotiations regarding the
finer points of sick time and vacation accrual,
though, will be handled in closed session in
Belmont.
Klein noted that Belmont’s base pay for
new hires is actually lower than what San
Carlos is proposing but said Belmont will
incur more overtime costs in its pay and ben-
efits plan.
“The overtime costs have been obscene,”
Klein said. “It has been horrendous for the
cities to deal with. We said ‘enough is
enough.’”
The cities are splitting its joint department
because the formerly agreed upon funding
formula, based on population, property values
and calls for service, saw San Carlos’ share to
fund the department to climb beyond what
was expected.
San Carlos pays about $7.1 million to fund
the joint department while Belmont pays
about $6.3 million.
Belmont has a dedicated funding stream to
fund fire services through an assessment but
San Carlos pays for the service out of its gen-
eral fund.
The poor economy has forced San Carlos to
contract out police services and parks mainte-
nance to other agencies in the past year and
continues to look for savings in other areas.
Jacobs understands the need for cost sav-
ings but says both cities are at risk of losing
some of its current firefighters if they do not
offer competitive packages.
“Our guys are pretty desirable,” Jacobs
said.
When the two new agencies form, they
must give existing employees the first oppor-
tunity for employment, Jacobs said.
Old-timers with the department may not be
as willing to take deep benefits cuts compared
to newer hires, Jacobs said.
“They took a three-year salary freeze when
we reformed the Belmont-San Carlos fire
department five years ago,” he said. Prior to
that, the two cities partnered in the South
County Fire Authority before that agreement
was disputed.
Belmont is still tweaking how the depart-
ment’s command structure will look like,
possibly considering the consolidation of
some upper management positions for cost
savings.
San Carlos’ plan, however, remains a mys-
tery to Jacobs and the rest of the firefighters.

John Edwards charges
appear likely Friday
RALEIGH, N.C. — Criminal charges are
likely to be filed Friday against John Edwards,
the culmination of a two-year federal investiga-
tion into money used to cover up his extramari-
tal affair during the 2008 presidential election.
Edwards’ attorney Greg Craig was traveling to
meet Friday with prosecutors in North Carolina,
an indication that the former presidential candi-
date is likely to charged, either in a grand jury
indictment or in a negotiated charge to which he
would plead guilty.
A person with knowledge of the investigation
said Craig, a Washington lawyer who was
President Barack Obama’s first White House
counsel, planned to be in his client’s home state
Friday, where prosecutors were prepared to file
charges. The source insisted on anonymity in
order to discuss the private negotiations.

Say no to Cargill development
Editor,
As a Redwood City resident, I am disappointed
in the City Council’s recent unanimous decision
to move forward with environment impact re-
view for the Cargill salt pond development
project. This is a waste of taxpayer money and
city employee time that could be better spent on
projects the residents of Redwood City are actu-
ally in favor of pursuing.
A recent poll shows overwhelming opposition
to this plan, but it doesn’t take a poll to see why
this plan should not move forward. Anyone who
drives on Highway 101 knows that thousands of
additional commuters would be a nightmare.
Anyone who has enjoyed a walk along the bay
front knows that it is crucial bird habitat that
should be preserved while we have a chance.
Anyone who wants economic development and
new housing should look first to further redevel-
opment of downtown and filling the empty
storefronts we already have before creating a
new commercial district in a floodplain. And
anyone who knows that the Port of Redwood
City is an important provider of jobs and part of
diverse tax base should oppose a plan that en-
croaches on that infrastructure.
The City Council says that it is just gathering
facts before making a decision, but a little bit
of common sense now will save our commu-
nity time and money. The Bay is a more
valuable resource to Redwood City and our re-
gion when it is healthy and preserved for
future generations.

Redwood City
Saltworks’ false advertising
Editor,
DMB, the Saltworks developer, is running full-
page ads titled ”Affordable housing for our
seniors.” The ad says Saltworks “will provide
hundreds of new affordable homes for Redwood
City’s seniors.”
Their website claims that 15 percent of the
homes will be sold below market rate.
Seniors — and all residents — should be skep-
tical for a number of reasons:
1). While Redwood City encourages developers
to include 15 percent affordable units, there is
no requirement that they do so.
2). Developers can get away with building
fewer affordable units if they offer in-lieu fees
or so-called “public benefits” like plazas,
benches or community rooms.
3). No one has defined “affordable.” In fact,
Saltworks has not provided prices for any of
their homes.
4). Affordable units would be available to any-
one who qualifies, not just seniors, not just
Redwood City residents.

NEW YORK — Weaker than expected
sales reports from retailers and another
1,533.70 large number of claims for unemploy-
ment benefits left stocks with a mixed
finish on Thursday, a day after the Dow
Jones industrial average took its biggest
dive in nearly a year.
First-time applications for unemploy-
ment benefits, an indication of how
many people are losing their jobs, fell
slightly last week to 422,000. That was
more than economists were expecting
and well above the 375,000 level that
signals that the economy is adding jobs.
“Companies are just not hiring the
same number of workers that they laid
off two years ago, and that’s leading to a
very stale jobs environment,” said David
Loesser, the president of the Estate
Planners Group, a financial advisory
firm in Washington Crossing, Pa.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost
41.59 points, or 0.3 percent, to close at
12,248.55 Thursday.
The S&P 500 recouped much of its
losses from earlier in the day and ended
down 1.61 points, or 0.1 percent, to
1,312.94. The Nasdaq composite was up
for most of the day and finished with a
gain of 4.12, or 0.2 percent, at 2,773.31.
Ready? Groupon files for IPO
By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Rapidly grow-
ing online coupon seller Groupon Inc. is
dangling its most tantalizing deal yet —
an initial public offering of stock.
The prospect is likely to intensify a
debate about whether an investment bub-
ble is forming around promising but still
unproven Internet companies.
Groupon took the first step toward
selling its stock on Wall Street by filing
its IPO papers Wednesday with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The much-anticipated filing comes just
two weeks after LinkedIn Corp., a popu-
lar Internet service for professional net-
working, saw its shares double in their
first day of trading. That surge evoked
memories of the early stages of the dot-
com boom in the 1990s.
Groupon, based in Chicago, offers its
subscribers the chance to purchase daily
discounts targeted to their city and pref-
erences. For example, a subscriber might
pay $20 for a $40 gift certificate to a spa,
restaurant, car wash or yoga studio.
The initial price of Groupon’s shares and
the number of shares won’t be set until the
company gets closer to going public. That
process typically takes three to four months.
But the shares won’t be cheap, based

Worries that the economic recovery
was stalling caused a stock market rout
on Wednesday. Payroll processor ADP
said private employers added just 38,000
jobs in May, down from 177,000 in
April. That, along with a sharply lower
reading on a key manufacturing index,
sent the Dow Jones industrial average
down 280 points, the steepest fall since
June 4 of last year.
A series of strong corporate profit
reports gave the S&P 500 its best first
quarter since 1998, but the index has lost
3.7 percent since April 29 as worries
over the economy deepened. The index
is still up 4.4 percent for the year.
Several retailers reported muted sales
growth for May, adding to concerns that
the U.S. economy is straining under
higher costs for raw materials like oil
and cotton. Companies that catered to
middle and lower income shoppers said
that higher food and gas prices cut into
sales. Gap Inc. fell 4.1 percent after sales
fell across all its brands. Target Corp. fell
1.3 percent after missing expectations as
sales traffic slowed during the second
half of the month.
Luxury retailer Saks Inc. was among
the few companies in the category that
rose. The company gained 1.3 percent
after surpassing analyst’s expectations.
on the confidence that Groupon showed
last year when it rejected a $6 billion
takeover offer from Internet search
leader Google Inc. Groupon said in its
filing it hopes to raise up to $750 million
in the IPO, but that figure often changes
as investment bankers get better idea of
the demand for the stock.
A wide variety of Internet companies
are getting ready to dangle their stocks in
front of investors hoping to get rich off
the next big thing. Zynga, the maker of
popular Web games such as FarmVille,
could be next in the IPO line, with plen-
ty of others such as online message serv-
ice Twitter waiting in the wings.
“The party has started,” said John
Fitzgibbon, founder of IPOscoop.com.
Facebook, perhaps the most anticipat-
ed Internet IPO-in-waiting, has indicated
it probably won’t file its IPO papers until
next April, at the earliest.
Groupon’s filing indicated some of the
company’s early investors intend to sell
some of their holdings in the IPO but
didn’t provide further details.
Venture capitalists and other investors
already have poured $1.1 billion into
Groupon, a huge amount for a service
founded just 2 1/2 years ago by Andrew
Mason and Eric Lefkofsky. Groupon
started as a side project to another web-
site called The Point that helped raise
and a signed document that form the
basis of a New York man’s lawsuit
claiming part ownership of the social
networking phenomenon are fakes.
Zuckerberg’s statements were includ-
ed in papers filed Thursday by his attor-
neys in federal court in Buffalo. The
attorneys want expedited access to the
materials and to examine plaintiff Paul
Ceglia’s (SEHG’-lee-ya’s) computers
and electronic media.
Ceglia says he has a 2003 business
contract that proves he bought into
Zuckerberg’s idea for Facebook when
Zuckerberg was a Harvard student. He
also says he has emails to back up the
arrangement.
Facebook lawyers call the contract “a
cut-and-paste job” and the emails fakes.
Ceglia’s attorney Dennis C. Vacco
says he welcomes expedited discovery
but disagrees with Facebook’s character-
ization of the documents.

Groupon has created a new marketing
phenomenon catering to people’s hunger
for bargains. The service has become so
popular that it now has 83 million sub-
scribers in 43 countries, requiring a work
force of 7,100 employees. It’s bringing
in lots of money, but not enough so far to
defray the costs of its rapid expansion.
Last year, Groupon lost $413 million
on revenue of $713 million. By compar-
ison, Google earned $106 million on rev-
enue of $1.5 billion in the last full year
before it went public in 2004.
Groupon, though, is growing at a
much faster pace than Google was when

Groupon’s revenue rose more than 13-
fold from the same time last year to $644

$652 million in the first quarter of year it
went public.
Groupon’s growth is “nothing short of
staggering,” said David Menlow, presi-
dent of research company

has a short shelf-life?”

SACRAMENTO — Democrats in the
California Assembly on Thursday nar-

the power to reject rate hikes proposed
by health insurers, voting after
Republican lawmakers walked out of the
chamber in protest.
The Assembly voted 42-1 to approve
the measure, with one Democrat voting
no and others speaking against it. The
bill, which needed 41 votes for approval,
now goes to the Senate.
AB52 allows the state insurance com-
missioner or the Department of Managed
Health Care to reject increases in health
insurance rates if they are deemed exces-
sive. The commissioner already can

ance.

Huff breaks out of slump, Giants win

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Aubrey Huff hit three
home runs and matched his career best
with six RBIs and the San Francisco
Giants hammered a pair of rookie
pitchers making their major league
debuts in a 12-7 victory over the St.
Louis Cardinals on Thursday night.
Huff, who entered batting .219, hit
two-run homers in the fourth and ninth
and a solo shot in the seventh for his
first three-homer game. He also had an
Aubrey Huff RBI single in the sixth. Huff raised his
average 14 points while leading the
surge for the Giants, who set a season
high for runs.
Huff has four homers and seven RBIs
the last two games after totaling four
RBIs the previous 16 games.
Freddy Sanchez added a homer and
four RBIs for San Francisco.
Colby Rasmus hit his second career
grand slam and had a career-best six
RBIs to help make it a contest for the
Cardinals, who dropped three of four at
home to the Giants for the first time
since June 30-July 3, 2003. Albert
Pujols had two hits, a steal and scored
twice.
The NL Central-leading Cardinals
had been 13-1-1 in their previous 15
series since dropping two of three at
San Francisco from April 8-10, leaving
town with a 3-6 record.
Triple-A callup Lance Lynn (0-1)
needed 56 pitches to get through five
innings working on three days’ rest, but
retired only one of four hitters to start
the Giants’ three-run sixth. Double-A
reinforcement Mikail Cleto hit 98 mph
several times on the stadium radar in
the seventh but walked the first two hit-
ters and surrendered back-to-back
homers to Sanchez and Huff in a five-
run inning that made it 10-3.
Manager Tony La Russa slotted Lynn
ahead of Jaime Garcia in the rotation,
giving the left-hander an extra day to
get over a disastrous outing in which he
surrendered 12 runs in 3 1-3 innings in
Colorado. The move also set up Garcia,

Concussion app a hit?
The smartphone is the new tool to help diagnose concussions
back in 4th,
By Joedy McCreary
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — The next tool in

the campaign against concussions might be
your smartphone.
A doctor at the University of North
Carolina teamed with other head-trauma
researchers to develop an application for
mobile devices that helps determine
whether someone may have suffered a con-
cussion.
Jason Mihalik of UNC’s brain injury
research center joined Justin Smith of
Psychological Assessment Resources Inc.
and the Children’s National Medical Center
in developing the program.
Smith says it’s the first observer-based
concussion app. After the user answers a
series of questions, the app determines the
likelihood of a concussion and can email
information to a doctor. Mihalik said
Thursday that the basis for the app’s ques-
tion flow comes from materials provided by
the Centers for Disease Control.
The introduction of the app is just one
way to speed the response to possible con-
cussions. One of the key issues discussed
during the National Sports Concussion
Cooperative’s daylong seminar was how to
most effectively bridge the communication
gap between team doctors and the team ath-
letic trainers, who often are the first to act
when players suffer concussion-like symp-
toms.
“The documentation (of immediate symp-
toms) is very important, from, ’How did
they get hurt?’ to the mechanism of injury
through those initial signs and symptoms, to
’How did they progress over time?”’ said
Bill Griffin of the National Athletic
Trainers’ Association. “It’s not only what
happens at the time of the injury, but how
things change.”
The cooperative consists of coaches, doc-
tors, equipment manufacturers and parents,
and the group was formed in March to study
concussions and brain trauma injuries in an
attempt to make sports safer.
“We’re trying to do more. We think there
is an opportunity to do more,” said Art
Chou, Rawlings’ vice president of research
and development. “The caution that we have
as manufacturers is, are we ready to draw
definitive conclusions? ... There’s a balance

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas
Mavericks put a stunning end to their misery
in Miami.
Now they can win their first NBA title with-
out ever coming back to South Florida.
Nowitzki made the tie-breaking layup with
3.6 seconds left, and the Mavericks roared
back from 15 points down in the fourth quar-
ter to beat the Heat 95-93 on Thursday night
and tie the NBA finals at one game apiece.
Capping a furious rally by scoring Dallas’
final nine points, Nowitzki made two late bas-
kets left-handed — despite a torn tendon on
that non-shooting hand. He finished with 24
points.
Dwyane Wade had 36 points for Miami, but
his desperation 3-pointer was off at the buzzer.
“I thought defensively we really got into
them,” Nowitzki said of the rally. “We pres-
sured them full court and we scrambled defen-
sively. We even gave up some offensive
rebounds, but we kept scrambling.”
Game 3 is Sunday in Dallas.

With college baseball’s Division I postsea-

regional is set to feature the best collegiate
pitching in California. Perhaps it’s even the
best collection of right-handers in the nation.
Fresno State sensation Greg Gonzalez is set
to take the hill against U.C. Irvine today at
Jackie Robinson Stadium, with first pitch
scheduled for 2 p.m. A San Bruno native out
of Capuchino, Gonzalez was recently named
the Western Athletic Conference Pitcher of
the Year after posting an undefeated 11-0
record.
Gonzalez is slated to go up against the Big
West Pitcher of the Year in Irvine right-hander
Matt Summers. Meanwhile, UCLA will be

with the Bruins featuring a pair of surefire

on his way to a 6-under 66 to join Chris
Riley in the lead after the first round.
McIlroy hit the ball so pure that he
shot 32 on the front nine despite missing
three birdie putts inside 8 feet.
“A great way to start the tournament,”
McIlroy said.
The 22-year-old from Northern
Ireland narrowly made the cut at
Wentworth in the BMW PGA
Championship and wound up in a tie for
24th. Asked the difference between last
week and this week, he replied, “It’s
about 30 degrees warmer.”
A tournament known for its sloppy
weather has been spectacular, and it
showed in the scoring on a well-mani-
cured course.
Chris DiMarco and Josh Teater were
at 67, followed by a large group at 68
that included Steve Stricker, Dustin
Johnson, Stewart Cink and Rickie
Fowler, the runner-up at the Memorial
last year.
Fifty-one players in the 120-man field
broke par.
Luke Donald, in his debut as the No. 1
player in the world ranking, recovered
from a slow start by making four straight
birdies toward the end of his round for a
70. He played with Masters champion
Charl Schwartzel and four-time major
champion Phil Mickelson, who each had
a 72. Mickelson did that without making
a single birdie on the par 5s.
Riley was in the first group to play in
the morning and relied heavily on his
putter to take advantage of the smooth
greens, although scoring conditions
were not much different in the after-
noon.
“The less I think, the better I play,”
Riley said. “And today, I didn’t have
time to think. The pace of play was so
good and I didn’t stand around and think
about shots. I just played golf.”
This is the last tournament for
McIlroy before the U.S. Open, a chance
for the No. 6 player in the world to atone
for his 80 in the final round that cost him
a chance to win the Masters. That col-
lapse hasn’t stayed with him long. He
was third the next week in Malaysia, and
while he missed the cut while defending
his title at Quail Hollow, he reached the
quarterfinals of the World Match Play in
Spain.
And now, the U.S. Open beckons —
along with a chance to win on another
stronger course in America.
“This is one of my favorite weeks of
SPORTS
the year, one of my favorite courses,”
McIlroy said. “I feel as if it really does
set up well for me. I like these sort of
golf courses, the likes of here and Akron
(Firestone) and Quail Hollow. And I’m
swinging well, I’m hitting it good and
I’m holing a few putts. Hopefully, I can
keep it going for the next three days.”
McIlroy likes to play the game
through the air, the brand of golf most
often seen in America.
But he doesn’t get out as often.
By giving up his PGA Tour member-
ship, he is allowed to play only 10 tour-
naments. That includes the four majors
and three World Golf Championships,
with The Players Championship not
counting against his number — although
McIlroy chose not to play this year.
And that’s probably not going to
change soon.
“Even if I did win, I still probably
wouldn’t take my card up,” McIlroy
said. “As a European and playing in
some European events over the summer,
like the French Open and the Irish Open,
we have a very busy summer of golf.
And I felt like after the PGA last year at
Whistling Straits, I wanted to take a cou-
ple of weeks off just to refresh. You
couldn’t really do it. You had a week off
and then straight to the (FedEx Cup)
playoffs. It was a lot of golf over a short
period of time.”
There’s a lot of golf left in this tourna-
ment, as McIlroy knows well.

Giants’ Sandoval, Zito set for rehab assignments
ST. LOUIS — San Francisco Giants third baseman Pablo
Sandoval is set to begin a rehabilitation assignment on Friday
and the team expects pitcher Barry Zito to start his minor
league stint early next week.
Sandoval has been on the disabled list while recovering
from surgery on his right wrist. Manager Bruce Bochy said
Thursday that Sandoval would play six innings at Class-A San
Jose in his first game, then play the next day for the California
League team.
After that, he’ll play a few more games at Triple-A Fresno.
Bochy said the switch-hitting Sandoval has looked good
swinging from both sides the last two days, and estimated
Sandoval would need four or five games in the minors to get
his timing.
Sandoval is hitting .313 with five homers and 14 RBIs in 24
games.
Zito, 0-2 with a 6.23 ERA in three starts, has been out since
mid-April with a sprained right foot he injured while making
a diving catch on a bunt popup. He’s set to start his rehab
assignment Monday at San Jose.
Messi unharmed after youngster throws punch
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Lionel Messi was not hurt
Thursday after a youngster threw a punch at the Barcelona
soccer star as he was leaving a restaurant.
The youngster was part of a throng wanting Messi’s auto-
graph, a witness told Argentine television. It was not clear if
the punch landed or what the intent had been. Messi went on
signing autographs.
“There was a crush of people waiting outside,” said Pablo
Moyano, who was working in the restaurant. “There were
kids, reporters, photographers waiting ... and one of the kids
tried to punch him. I don’t know if he pulled it off. He went
running afterward.”
Witnesses said the suspect was dressed in the uniform of a
school located a few blocks away.
Julius Peppers’ dad arrested in NC on drug charges
NASHVILLE, N.C. — The father of Chicago Bears defen-
sive end Julius Peppers has lost his law enforcement job after
being charged in North Carolina with felony possession of
cocaine.
The State Bureau of Investigation said Thursday that 50-
year-old George Thomas Kurney was arrested following a
joint state-local investigation.
Nash County Sheriff’s Lt. Pat Joyner said Kurney was dis-
missed from his sheriff’s deputy job after his arrest
Wednesday. Kurney was taken to the Wilson County jail short-
ly after 11 p.m. and released about an hour later on $1,000
bond.
Kurney had been a deputy for 10 years.

Going Gonzo
Whether or not Gonzalez was in
the right place at the right time, or if
he was simply country-hardball
dominant, the senior right-hander’s
numbers speak for themselves.
“I’ve always been one to want to
speak through my statistics,”
Gonzalez said. “And this year, I’ve
had good statistics. But this year
I’ve also become more of a com-
plete player.”
Gonzalez’s 11 wins and 121
strikeouts each rank seventh in the
nation. And now he’s gearing up for
the first DI postseason start of his
career.
“One of the main things when I
picked a school was to find a team
that could make the postseason,”
Gonzalez said. “So I’m glad to
finally be getting the opportunity.”
As a transfer out of Skyline
College, Gonzalez saw his share of
junior-college playoff action, but
has just one postseason victory to
his credit — a Game 1 win over
Chabot College as a true freshman
in 2007.
The 5-foot-11 fireballer has
evolved into a much more fluid
pitcher, however. While Gonzalez is
obviously still throws the ball by
hitters, he has refined his control
and added a cut fastball to his reper-
toire in an effort to pitch to contact
and minimize his pitch counts. He
had one outing on March 12 where
he threw 120 pitches in a 1-0 victo-
ry at Nebraska, but the plateau
would stand as his highest pitch
SPORTS
count of the season.
It was two weeks later that served
as a turning point for Gonzalez,
when he was promoted to the top of
the rotation for a Friday-night start
against University of San Diego.
Gonzalez threw seven shutout
innings in an eventual 6-0 win for
the Bulldogs.
“I wanted to make a statement
that I could handle the job,”
Gonzalez said. “I went out there and
did a good job, but one thing I did-
n’t want to do is let the adrenaline
get the best of me. So I knew I need-
ed to stay poised.”
He has been Fresno State’s ace
ever since.
With the Major League Baseball
draft starting Monday, Gonzalez
looks to be a first-time draftee, hav-
ing gone undrafted not only out of
high school and junior college, but
after a draft-eligible junior season
last year in which he broke into the
Fresno State starting rotation by
throwing a no-hitter April 10 at
University of Hawaii.
Dons capture
crown, playoff spot
USF went down to the final day of
the regular season in an outright tie
with Gonzaga for first place in the
West Coast Conference. The Dons
downed host Gonzaga in the season
finale 4-2. With the WCC crown,
USF knocked Gonzaga out of the
postseason, despite Gonzaga finish-
ing the year with a better RPI rank-
ing.
“It went down to the last pitch and
last out,” USF manager Nino
Giarratano said. “And they were
able to let go and really enjoy the
moment.”
With three conference Pitchers of
the Year in the Los Angeles regional
— Bauer (Pac-10), Summers (Big
West), and Gonzalez (WAC) —
USF will avoid all three in today’s
regional opener. The bad news,
however, is UCLA also boasts a
right-handed ace in Cole, who many
believe to be the best amateur pitch-
er in the nation.
“He is the best pitcher in the
country,” Giarratano said. “He’s got
Friday • June 3, 2011 13
the best stuff. If you had to pick one
guy and one team (to face), that’s
not the one you’d pick.”
Giarratano knows as good as any-
one of Cole’s excellence, as USF’s
skipper twice helmed Team USA’s
Collegiate National Team, including
last year when Cole served as the
team’s ace.
“I’ve never seen him not at the top
of his game,” Giarratano said. “He’s
as good as they get.”
Meanwhile, USF lost its ace for
the year. Senior left-hander Matt
Lujan underwent Tommy John sur-
gery on Wednesday, effectively end-
ing his collegiate career. On April
29, Lujan became USF’s all-time
wins leader with his 23rd career vic-
tory. Following his next start — a
no-decision at University of San
Diego — he was shut down after
feeling a pop in his elbow while
playing catch the following day.
“The surgery went great,”
Giarratano said. “It’s going to take
12-15 months for him to rehab and
get back, but he wants to play pro-
fessional ball. I think once he
rehabs, he will be fine.”

there, and I think it’s up to the research com-
munity to determine whether it is ready for
prime time or not, because the issue is going
to be one of public perception.
“The issue is, have we confused the public?
... I would like to see more consensus from the
research community that supports that,
because we need more data. We need to move
the needle. ... The last thing we need, I think
now, as a whole football community, is going
back and forth and confusing the issue any
more.”
Mike Oliver, the executive director of the
National Operating Committee on Standards
for Athletic Equipment, continued to express
a longstanding desire to come up with a safe-
ty standard for youth helmets.
But he cautioned that it’s dangerous to rush
to a conclusion before the scientific research
is complete. NOCSEA, a nonprofit corpora-
tion, formed in 1969 in response to a need for
a performance test standard for helmets.
“You want to have an answer. You want to
have a solution to the problem,” Oliver said.
“You want to be able to say ... ’We do have a
solution to the problem and you can have a
level of confidence (that) you will have a level
of protection. ... But we can’t do that until we
have the science behind it.”

Shaq tells Wade, Bruins moving on after loss
LeBron to win title
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Shaquille O’Neal won his last championship
with Dwyane Wade. He tried to help LeBron James win his
first ring in Cleveland.
Seems like the Big Fella is still rooting for his former team-
mates.
Hours after Wade and James took a break from preparing for
Game 2 of the NBA finals on Thursday to
speak of their fond memories of playing
with O’Neal in Miami and Cleveland, the
retiring future Hall of Fame center posted a
video on Twitter thanking them for their
kind words — and telling them to beat the
Dallas Mavericks in the title series.
“LeBron, D-Wade, I saw the comments
you guys said about me,” O’Neal said in
Shaquille O’Neal the short clip, one of several he’s made
since using Twitter to announce his retire-
ment plans on Wednesday. “Appreciate it very much. It was an
honor playing with you two guys. You guys made me better.
You guys are legends, future Hall of Famers. Go get that ring,
baby. Love you guys. Peace.”
O’Neal and Wade spent parts of four seasons together in
Miami. O’Neal was with James in Cleveland for the 2009-10
season. He will formally announce his retirement at his home
near Orlando, Fla., on Friday.
“As a teammate, as I’ve always been, I was just always
appreciative of the opportunity to play with one of the greats to
ever put on an NBA jersey,” Wade said Thursday. “I really
learned a lot from him as a professional. We had some great
years together. Humbled, and totally honored, to have been a
teammate. But as a fan, seeing the dominance of what he did
will never be forgotten.”
James and O’Neal had a relationship that
began long before they were teammates in
Cleveland, both respecting the other for
both their basketball and business sides.
“His 19 years in this league goes
unprecedented, what he was able to do for
this league, not only on the court but off the
court,” James said. “I think he’s probably
one of the only big men to ever play this
Dwayne Wade game to be able to market and to be able to
be marketable off the court. He sold shoes,
he did movies, he did a lot of things off the court.”
“Don’t forget rap,” Wade interjected.
“He rapped too,” James said with a laugh. “Sold records, he
did a lot. He did everything. His personality is definitely some-
thing I gravitated toward ... even before I had him as a team-
mate.”
O’Neal’s playing days may be over, but Wade and James
both know he will remain in the spotlight, somehow.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VANCOUVER, British Columbia —
The Vancouver Canucks
don’t understand the big
fuss about a little bite.
Neither did the
NHL.
Vancouver for-
ward Alex Burrows
avoided a suspension
in the Stanley Cup
finals Thursday when
league officials decided they couldn’t
prove he deliberately bit the finger of
Boston’s Patrice Bergeron during the
Canucks’ series-opening 1-0 victory.
Although the Bruins weren’t terribly
happy about NHL disciplinarian Mike
Murphy’s decision, both teams realize
they’ve got bigger issues than the after-
the-whistle shenanigans that happen
constantly in the NHL, particularly
under playoff intensity.
After all, players have been biting,
gouging, facewashing, elbowing, grab-
bing, spearing — and don’t forget
punching — since probably the first
period of the first game after Canada
invented hockey.
“That’s how French guys say hello to
one another,” joked Alexandre Bolduc,
who centered the Canucks’ fourth line in
Game 1. “You want to show respect, you
put your fingers in someone’s mouth.”
Daniel and Henrik Sedin were
relieved that such a silly incident didn’t
sideline their linemate early in what’s
shaping up as a gritty, goalie-dominated
series heading into Game 2 on Saturday
night.
Roberto Luongo shut out the Bruins
with 36 saves, and Boston’s Tim
Thomas matched him in a penalty-

Chief Charlie Beck

building, Beck said

plagued game featuring six power plays
for each team. Raffi Torres finally scored
with 18.5 seconds to play, giving
Vancouver a series-opening victory and
the accompanying 77 percent historic
probability of winning its first Stanley
Cup title.
“We need him out there,” said NHL
scoring champion Daniel Sedin, who
took eight shots without a goal in Game
1. “He plays in every situation. Big part
of this team. Obviously, we’re happy to
have him inside the rink.”
Burrows wasn’t made available to
reporters after the Canucks’ light prac-
tice Thursday at the University of
British Columbia. The Bruins refused to
get indignant about the NHL’s decision,
with Boston coach Claude Julien cau-
tioning his players against whining
about a single play in a chippy game.
“I’m over it,” Bergeron said Thursday
after the Bruins’ workout. “I’m looking
forward to the next game. We’ve got to
get back in the series. Like I said last
night, it’s the league’s decision, and I’ve
got to let them make it. ... I don’t want to
whine about that stuff. I don’t care.”
After the game, Bergeron declared
Burrows had bitten him while they scuf-
fled after the first-period buzzer, even
showing his bandaged right index finger
and saying he planned to take antibi-
otics.
In the television replay that seemingly
played on an infinite loop in
Vancouver’s bars and restaurants
Wednesday night, Bergeron’s gloved
right index finger sure appeared to go
into Burrows’ mouth. Bergeron claimed
Burrows then bit down on him, but
Burrows denied it.
“It’s too bad that something like that
has to happen in the Stanley Cup finals,”
“I have very specific legal considera-
tions that have to be met .... Those have
been more than met in this case,” Beck
said. “We will present a case to the pros-
ecution, and we will do that at a time
that it’s most advantageous to the prose-
cution.”
Ramirez, 31, was arrested May 22 but
has still not been charged in the case,
though he remains in custody for an
alleged violation of his parole condi-
tions. Police suspect he led the two-man
attack against Bryan Stow, a 42-year-old
paramedic who remains in critical but
stable condition under heavy sedation to
prevent seizures caused by traumatic
brain injury.
The second man remains at large, as
does a woman who was spotted driving
two men away from the stadium.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Julien said. “I think there’s better ways
of resolving issues than getting to that.”
Bergeron scoffed at the notion he had
deliberately put his finger in Burrows’
mouth. Both players had their gloves in
each other’s face at different points of
the scuffle.
“We were both facewashing each
other, and I didn’t need to put my finger
in his mouth,” Bergeron said. “Why
would I do that?”
Although fighting usually drops in the
postseason, old-time hockey never goes
out of style. Scrums and shoving match-
es have occurred after any whistle
involving physical play throughout the
22-season career of Mark Recchi,
Boston’s veteran forward.
“That’s part of the game — not the
biting, but the physical play and the stuff
after the whistle,” said Recchi, who has
just two goals in 19 playoff games after
missing a golden scoring chance at the
side of Luongo’s net early in the second
period of Game 1. “We were in the mid-
dle of a quality game. It’s two big teams
that skate well and have a lot of charac-
ter. I expected there to be no feeling-out
period, and there wasn’t.”
Perhaps it’s only fitting for a little
extracurricular activity to be the main
off-day focus after a finals game
coached by Alain Vigneault and Julien,
who were both better known for scrap-
ping than scoring during their own play-
ing careers, which only included brief
tastes of NHL action.
“Things were a lot different in those
days,” Julien said. “In those days, I
remember a lot of gouging, a lot of bit-
ing. It was fair game at that time.
Obviously, the rules have gotten a little
tighter. Those kind of things right now
are deemed unacceptable.”
Beck shrugged off news that defense
lawyers had obtained several sworn
statements from Ramirez’s family mem-
bers and other people attesting to seeing
him elsewhere in Los Angeles when the
beating took place. The chief said his
investigators were speaking to all those
people who could provide potential ali-
bis.
Earlier this week, Ramirez took two
lie detector tests. One was administered
by his defense team, the other by police.
Beck confirmed that police in
Henderson, Nev., were working on a
case that potentially involves Ramirez as
a suspect in a separate incident. A law
enforcement official has previously told
The Associated Press the case stems
from an attempted murder shooting.

‘Cymotrichous’is
Spelling Bee’s
winning word
By Joseph White
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OXON HILL, Md. — It went on and on and
on. Five spellers who seemingly had memorized
the entire dictionary simply could not be stumped
with any word tossed their way. It was getting
late, way past bedtime and well beyond the time
slot allotted by ESPN for its telecast.
Finally, after 21 consecutive spellings without a
miss, one of them finally flubbed a word.
Eventually, the others were gone — having heard
the telltale bell of elimination — except for 14-
year-old eighth grader Sukanya Roy of South
Abington Township, Pa., who took home the tro-
phy and the more than $40,000 in cash and prizes
Thursday at the 84th Scripps National Spelling
Bee.
“I went through the dictionary once or twice,”
said Sukanya, who tied for 12th in 2009 and 20th
in 2010, “and I guess some of the words really
stuck.”
Sukanya’s winning word was “cymotrichous,”
which relates to wavy hair. She likes hiking, rock
climbing and ice skating, wants to travel and per-
haps pursue a career in international relations.
She is the fourth consecutive Indian-American to
win the bee and the ninth in the last 13 years, a run
that began when Nupur Lala captured the crown
in 1999 and was later featured in the documentary
“Spellbound.”
“They look up to that. But I don’t know how
that impacted her,” said Sukanya’s farther, Abhijit
Roy. “This is not something we pressurized her to
do. She wanted to do this by herself, and we basi-
cally just helped her along. It’s a few years; this
didn’t happened overnight.”
Laura Newcombe of Toronto was the runner-
up. The 12-year-old was trying to become the first
Canadian to win the bee, but she went out on the
word “sorites,” her look of concentration turning
suddenly to a sad one when she realized she’d
misspelled it. Canadians have been a strong pres-
ence at the competition for many years and have
had several close calls, with Nate Gartke of
Alberta also finishing second in 2007.
“I was proud, happy and felt this was a privi-
lege” to represent Canada, she said.

Food pyramid out,‘My Plate’in for healthy eating
By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — There’s a new
U.S. symbol for healthful eating:
The Agriculture Department
unveiled “My Plate” on Thursday,
abandoning the food pyramid that
had guided many Americans but
merely confused others.
The new guide is divided into four
slightly different-sized quadrants,
with fruits and vegetables taking up
half the space and grains and protein
making up the other half. The veg-
etables and grains portions are the
largest of the four.
Gone are the old pyramid’s refer-
ences to sugars, fats or oils. What
was once a category called “meat
and beans” is now simply “pro-
teins,” making way for seafood and
vegetarian options like tofu. Next to
the plate is a blue circle for dairy,
which could be a glass of milk or a
food such as cheese or yogurt.
Some critics, including congres-
sional Republicans, have charged
the Obama administration of reach-
ing too far in trying to make
Americans eat healthier, especially
when it comes to new rules that tell
schools what children can eat on
campus.
The new plate is simply guidance

for those looking to improve their
diet, however. It’s supposed to be a
suggestion, not a direction, said
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
“We are not telling people what to
eat, we are giving them a guide,” he
said. “We’re not suggesting they
should not have a cookie or dessert,
that’s not what it’s about.”
Vilsack said the new round chart
shows that nutrition doesn’t have to
be complicated. After almost 20
years of leaders preaching good eat-
ing through a food pyramid the
department now says was overly
complex, obesity rates have sky-
rocketed. He showed off the new

Obama, who has made healthful
diets for children a priority through

“Parents don’t have the time to

The department is planning to use
social media — posting advice
every day on Twitter, for example.

The investigation is ongoing and agents are still actively

Two women, aged 25 and 22, arrested in the operation are
residents of the Greenwood home. The third suspect, a 47-year-
old man, is a Redwood City resident, according to the Sheriff’s

are sold, child endangerment, possession of methamphetamine
and possession of drug paraphernalia. Bail was set at $160,000

tributions from the San Mateo County
Transit District (SamTrans), Santa Clara
County’s Valley Transportation
Authority and the San Francisco
Municipal Transportation Agency.
SamTrans, however, has its own deficit
and has greatly reduced its contribution
to Caltrain, causing Muni and VTA to
follow.
VTA, however, did pledge to repay
SamTrans up to $7 million for a right-of-
way purchase made years ago if the
money went to Caltrain’s operating
budget.
Despite Caltrain’s ongoing $30 mil-
lion structural deficit, the board moved
to keep the full 86-train schedule intact,
rather than a reduced 48-train schedule
the form of a regional tax or fee, likely in
2012.
Caltrain’s biggest expense is its oper-
ating contract with Amtrak at $58.8 mil-
lion a year with fuel being its second
biggest expense at about $14.5 million a
year. It also spends more than $4 million
a year for security on the line that
stretches from San Francisco to Gilroy.
At yesterday’s meeting, Chief
Executive Officer Mike Scanlon
announced that the Peninsula Rail
Program has been rebranded the Caltrain
Modernization Program.
The PRP is the local arm of the
California High-Speed Rail Authority on
the Peninsula that also answers to
Caltrain. In prior years, the PRP was
responsible for design and technical
aspects of the high-speed rail project on
the Peninsula before the statewide proj-
Valley.
Going forward, the new Caltrain
Modernization Program will conduct
outreach on the Peninsula in a non-tech-
nical way, Scanlon said.
“It will be more of a planning exer-
cise,” Scanlon said.
The Caltrain Modernization Program
has an annual budget of $1.6 million and
comes out of the capital budget.
Caltrain is currently conducting a
capacity analysis to determine what level
of local service can be accommodated
alongside high-speed rail trains, Scanlon
said. It is also partnering with the state
rail authority to pay for a positive-train-
control signaling system as mandated by
the federal government at an expense of
about $16 million.

Continued from page 1
with struggles that continued long after she
admitted her issues.
Now she is gearing up for life after gradua-
tion — an accomplishment she often ques-
tioned reaching.
“Lindsay was adept at smiling convincingly
and telling concerned adults what they wanted
to hear, rather than the scary truth about her
emotional fragility. She entered Notre Dame,
which her parents had selected as being a
deeply caring and nurturing environment,
without any real conviction that her life was
worth the effort of living,” said Winifred
Montgomery, who was McHugh’s counselor
sophomore and junior years.
Montgomery was scared during one partic-
ularly bad semester that her phone ringing
would bring news that McHugh had hurt or
even killed herself.
“In the years, months, days, minutes since
then, Lindsay has consciously traveled the
agonizingly uphill path toward health. This
process has been fraught with traps, disap-
pointments, trauma and terror, and yet, step by
step, Lindsay has moved toward these obsta-
cles, moved through them, and moved for-
ward. She has come to understand that noth-
ing can be taken for granted, least of all love,
and that her destiny is hers to determine,”
Montgomery said.
McHugh, the oldest of three children, grew
up in Woodside. She attended Woodside
Elementary School then started at Sacred
Heart Preparatory in Atherton. She thought
the school was what she wanted.
Unfortunately, stress at school coupled with
her parents’ split, which meant moving,
proved too much for McHugh. She didn’t let
anyone see her stress.
Her painted-on smile hid pain, confusion,
frustration and disappointment in so many
aspects of her life. Being put in the hospital
was a wake-up call for McHugh. After being
released, she enrolled in out of state therapeu-
tic programs, where she stayed for over a year.
She has spent time at Rogers Memorial
Hospital Child and Adolescent Center in
Wisconsin, Alpine Academy in Utah and the
Center for Change, also in Utah.
McHugh returned to California at 16 in the
late summer. It was too late to apply to most
private schools. She also was far behind in her
credits for school. On a fluke, McHugh was
driving with her mom by Notre Dame and
they decided to drive in. After being given an
impromptu tour, McHugh was accepted on the
spot and enrolled as a junior. Transitioning
back to academia wasn’t completely smooth.
She went back to Utah and enrolled in a ther-
apeutic school for the second semester of jun-
ior year. That’s when things completely turned
around.
Montgomery noticed the change.
“She has become ... the kind of woman she
could never imagine, back in her most vulner-
able days; an inspiration to the people around
her, a rock of strength and love, a woman of
courage and vision. Her uphill climb is not
and may never be over, but in the meantime,
she lives. She claims every minute of her life,
and lives it with passion, conviction, honesty
and trust in her own ability to persevere,”
Montgomery said.
Throughout her childhood, McHugh spent
numerous years in sports like gymnastics,
cross country and soccer. Coming clean to
herself meant admitting those competitive

Plans after high
school: Willamette
University in Salem,
Ore.
If college,what’s
your major: Clinical
pyschology
What was your favorite subject in high
school: English
What will you miss most about high
school: The warm,welcoming,loving,
nurturing environment and the amazing
community of faculty,staff and girls and
Notre Dame.
What is the biggest life lesson you’ve
learned thus far in life: True strength is
having the courage to get back up when
you fall down,rebuilding the pieces that
break apart,and show emotion as you
embrace every part of who you are with-
out holding yourself back from living the
life you want.
environments may not be the best for her.
Instead, she began looking for leadership
opportunities like working with children in
gymnastics courses or with children who have
disabilities. McHugh introduced a leadership
program to Notre Dame and led a retreat for
fellow students.
Leading a retreat meant opening up to hear
classmates. She didn’t hold back. Instead,
McHugh got closer to the girls around her and
found true friends, as well as confidence in
herself.
McHugh sees graduation as a miracle. She
didn’t have confidence that it would be
enough to get into college.
“My parents had more faith in me,” she
said.
With the help of an outside counselor,
McHugh put together a transcript of her vari-
ous schools along with an explanation for the
changes. Her first acceptance letter seemed
like a mistake.
McHugh decided to attend Willamette
University in Salem, Ore.
She plans to study psychology feeling that
she could help others given her experience.
“I realized everyone’s fighting some kind of
battle. I need to not judge others. And, I need
to cherish my life, right now. It’s precious,”
she said.
Great Grads is in its sixth year profiling one
graduating senior from each of our local
schools. Schools have the option to partici-
pate. Those that choose to participate are
asked to nominate one student who deserves
recognition.

LocalBrief
Suspects sought
in residential burglary
A Belmont woman was a victim of a resi-
dential burglary after a man claiming to be
working at the property behind hers said he
needed to show her something in her own
backyard while an accomplice gained access
into her home, according to the Belmont
Police Department.
The incident occurred Wednesday at about 5
p.m. on the 1700 block of Hillman Avenue.
The victim, 63, escorted the man toward her
backyard when he started to speak to someone
in Spanish over a hand-held radio, according
to police.
As the suspect was “explaining the prob-
lem” to the victim, she became suspicious and
walked back to the house. The suspect, how-
ever, tried to stall the woman while again
using the hand-held radio to communicate
with someone in Spanish, according to police.

More than one opportunity may present itself to you
of which you’ll want to take advantage in coming
months. However, approach each one individually;
that’s the only way you can make you way through
them all.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- No one knows better
than you how vital it is to keep your financial affairs
in good order. If you let your expenditures exceed
your earnings, you’ll only have yourself to blame.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Guard against inclina-
tions to ignore a scheduled routine. If you decide to
run your life in a helter-skelter manner, it isn’t likely
you’ll accomplish a thing.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Avoid injecting additional
negative factors into something that may already be
going badly. Getting angry and losing your temper
won’t help, but it will pour more fuel on the fire.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Ignoring the request for
a favor from someone who has helped you out many
times in the past will reflect badly on you. Suggest
another time if it is impossible for you to help out
right now.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t fret over the work
at hand. Begin from where you are and see where
it takes you. To do nothing at all will leave you in a
worse state of affairs.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Usually you have
the courage of your convictions, but if you allow PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It is good to think in
self-doubts to plague you, you won’t be able to see positive tones, but resist a temptation to take on a

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
PATRICIA M. FERRERA
Case Number 121239
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Patricia M. Ferrera. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by:
Pamela Cacci in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition of Probate requests that Pamela
Cacci be appointed as personal repre-
sentative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: June 28, 2011 at
9:00 a.m., Dept: 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center Drive, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
