Myung Kim has started a new venture few others would dare to try these days open a video game arcade. Arcades went out of fashion back in the late 1990s when video game consoles were nally able to replicate the arcade experience right in the users living room. Gaming acionados will either credit or blame Segas Dreamcast, unveiled in 1998, as being responsible for the ultimate demise of video arcades, once a
staple at practically every mall in America. But Kim has hope he can offer up an experience the living room cant by getting people out of their homes and into downtown San Mateo for a little social interaction. Kim quietly opened the Gamecenter on B Street over a week ago and has already attracted a core of gamers who love to compete. The draw to the Gamecenter now is the latest version of a video game called Gundam vs. Gundam, currently available only in Japan and at one other
arcade in Texas called Arcade UFO. Kims plan is to stock the Gamecenter with rare, unique games that cannot be found anywhere else. He also intends to rent out gaming consoles by the hour so large groups can have a go at an afternoon of playing John Madden football or racing games. San Mateo resident Pavo Miskic, 21, is a competitive gamer who has been eagerly waiting for Kim to open the Gamecenter. I had to drive for at least an hour to

AUSTIN, Texas State governments across the country are laying off teachers, closing public libraries and parks, and reducing health care services, but there is one place they could get $23 billion a year if they could only agree how to do it: Internet retailers such as Amazon.com. Thats enough to pay for the salaries of more than 46,000 teachers, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In California, the amount of uncollected taxes from Amazon sales alone is roughly the same amount cut from child welfare services in the current state budget. But collecting those taxes from major online retailers is difcult.

His return to Pennsylvania, carrying $40,000 in cash, was disappointing, however, as he could not nd his son or mother. She had married shortly after Lick had left in 1821 and, when she heard he was back, left town to avoid him. The saga continues: Lick returned to Argentina, then moved to Chile and, after a short time, moved to Peru. The newspapers were full of information on the spat between America and Mexico and Lick decided to make a move to California where he felt opportunity for success was ripe for those who chose to go after it. He arrived in San Francisco in January 1848. With his tools and $30,000 in Peruvian gold and 600 pounds of chocolate, he immediately set about making his fortune.

Realizing it was easier than going for it. At rst Green cut his business-ready do to a super short look hoping the 5 Oclock shadow would make an acceptable alternative for the famously bald character. Finally, a barber trip was scheduled to get the cut razor-tight. Having no hair was an issue at rst. His head was bone white, and then sunburned. Stage makeup has helped blend the shades of white on Greens head in time for the curtains to rise. Both Greens lauded the experience before opening and hoped its only the beginning of an acting career, and maybe partnership. Rachel described the experience best. Its like a puzzle, she said. All the pieces come together.

Jeff Green didnt want to cut his hair. At 49, and with a full head of hair, why should he? Being cast in the role of Daddy Warbucks in the Pied Piper Players production of Annie gave the novice thespian from San Mateo pressure to take a razor to his head. Opening last weekend, Green was bald before the curtain raised. It seems like a silly hangup for someone willing to dance and sing in front of an audience. For Green, who only decided to explore his acting chops for his daughter, it took time to get used to the idea of a hairfree summer. Its giving rst-time actors and families a fun experience thats at the heart of the Pied Piper Players community theater company, said Director and Co-founder Leslie Stupple. One of our main thrusts is its for family; an experience they can have together thats a lasting memory for them, she said. Putting together such a show doesnt mean there is any less professionalism in the show. Stupple holds the 75 local actors even the 5-year-olds to a high standard. She expects it because they can reach it, she said. The Greens are a great example of the opportunity offered to families. My youngest daughter Rachel, shes a real ham; loves attention, said Green, who added, admitting it sounds biased, that she has an amazing voice. Rachel, who turned 8 on Saturday
and celebrated between shows with cupcakes, likes being on stage. You get to express yourself and become a different person, she said. The experience has been a journey for the Greens who have worked together throughout the process. Before auditioning, they rented Annie. Each nervously auditioned for their rst show and were cast; Rachel as one of the orphans and Green as Daddy Warbucks. Annies benefactor and one of the shows main charact e r s . Annie opened on Broadway originally in 1977 and ran for six years, setting a record at the Alvin Theatre, now the Neil Simon Theatre. Based on a comic strip, the production was performed in many countries and eventually earned the Tony Award for Best Musical. Annie follows the orphan with the same name and is best known for the songs Tomorrow and Its a HardKnock Life. Getting ready for opening night came with rehearsals, which began in April. Its a collaborative effort with many parents chipping in to build sets and sew costumes. Watching the kids, getting themselves to work as a group, its one of the great things about this compa-

ny, said Stupple, whose goal is to give theater opportunities to families but also expose people to the work that goes into a stage production. As a young actor, Stupple recalled going to tech week, the week before opening day, and seeing everything come together like magic. She wants those in Pied Piper Players, which will soon celebrate its 10th anniversary, to be aware of the work that goes into that magic. There are people who give their time and skill to create such a world. Its the collaborative effort that nally inspired Green to go bald. Green, having never been in a show, was unaware of all that went into it. After practices, there were parents always sewing costumes or working on sets. Those directing and choreographing were also willing to roll up their sleeves and unload heavy equipment. I really owed it to everyone, he said.

Six months ago, Ryan Morris would have seemed like an unlikely person to be down on his luck. A standout baseball player following his senior year at Athertons Menlo High School, the 21-year-old University of Southern California junior found himself cut from the Trojans baseball team and seemingly without a direction in life. I was pretty much just sulking around campus, said Morris. However, following a chance encounter with a former U.S. Marine and Iraq/Afghanistan veteran in an accounting class, Morris not only gained a new perspective on life he got an idea. Here I am feeling sorry for myself, but Im a 21-year-old kid in Southern California getting a great education, he said. Morris realized that all his opportunities in life, even the setbacks, were enabled by the sacrices of others. The business major combined his new appreciation for Americas men and women in the military with a class assignment which required him to create a plan for a ctitious company. After returning to campus following the winter holiday, Morris was encouraged by his professors to continue to develop his ideas. He then decided to turn his sketches into real-life stitches and seems. The result is a new line of baseball caps with an emblem of the slogan Salute the Brave which is also the name of the company of which Morris is the founder and CEO. Although Morriss warehouse is still in actuality the garage of his parents Atherton home, he is already lling orders and shipping units. Things are going faster than I can process, its a lot of fun, he said. With the help of a few friends, Morris has created a website which has allowed his brand to expand worldwide. For every hat that Salute the Brave sells, one is donated to the California nonprofit Operation Gratitude which includes them in care packages sent to military personnel stationed overseas. Morris attests that these hats, specially embroidered with the logo Free to Be Because of Me, are a hit with the troops who wear them with pride. For the entrepreneurial young man, his timing seems to be divinely ordained. After
Ryan Morris
launching his company in late April just days before the raid which claimed the life of Osama bin Laden, Morris has ridden the wave of patriotic fever. Unlike professional sports franchises, Morris believes that the U.S. military is a team that everyone can get behind. Like many kids who are a product of San Mateo Countys more afuent communities, Morris admits he does not have many ties to the military. None of his friends or family are currently serving. He does, however, just happen to be the grandson of Mervin G. Morris, who founded the Mervyns clothing conglomerate. The upshot of being able to draw guidance from the retail impresario is that the two have never been closer. My grandpa and I talk on the phone every day, Morris said. Its been amazing to have someone thats honest and gives you good advice. Ryan even jokes that his mother Missy has also adopted the new family business by helping him ll and ship orders. As many soon-to-graduate college student look to the job market with apprehension, Morris is optimistic he will be able to build his hats into a thriving company and is already planning to develop a similar line of T-shirts and tank tops. Still hoping to enjoy his senior year, Ryan Morris is planning to work with his buddies to create a fashion line which adorns both jetsetters and jet ghters. With broad ambition, Ryans goal remains singular. Its all about creating a brand that people can identify thats hopefully for something good, he said.

NEW YORK The sexting scandal that forced New York Rep. Anthony Weiner from Congress last week capped a remarkable season of dishonor for male politicians from former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards indictment on federal campaign nance charges related to hiding a mistress to former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzeneggers admission hed fathered a child with the family maid. For advocates of women in politics, such sexual shenanigans raise two questions: Why dont women lawmakers fall prey to such temptation? And if more women were elected to ofce, would political sex scandals disappear? Its the latest source of frustration for many activists concerned about the lack of progress for women in the political sphere, even as theyve begun to outpace men in elds like academia, medicine and law. Democratic pollster Celinda Lake said women lawmakers have demonstrated an ability to focus on their responsibilities in ofce and not succumb to distractions sexual and otherwise that sometimes ensnare their male colleagues. We know that women have fewer

sex scandals. And voters, particularly women voters, perceive them as being less prone to those kinds of scandals and more likely to be problem solvers with the right priorities, Lake said. But even as voters warm to womens style of leadership, the number of women running for and winning public ofce has slowed after four decades of gradual gains. The number of women in Congress has plateaued since 2007, with just 17 women in the 100member Senate and 72 in the 435member House currently. In state legislatures nationwide, 1,738 lawmakers are women, compared to 1,809 last year, and the percentage of women holding statewide ofce has fallen from 27.6 percent in 2001 to 21.9% today. Just 6 states have women governors. So while 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin may make headlines by testing the presidential waters another
woman, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachman, has already joined the 2012 GOP primary eld fewer women are running for lower-tier ofces. Recruiting women to run for ofce has become a top priority for New York Democrat Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who hosted a panel discussion earlier this month titled Getting Women Off the Sidelines to encourage more women to participate in politics. The event for several hundred women doubled as a fundraiser for Gillibrands political committee. Gillibrand said she was alarmed by the lack of progress for women in politics and has drawn attention and complaint from some activists by declaring the womens movement has stalled. Women need to be in positions of power to bring about real change, she said. Politics is seen as a very aggressive industry dominated by mudslinging and competitive behavior,
and women self-select themselves out because of that, Gillibrand said. But if women run, they can win. Theyll change the rhetoric and bring a different working style to the table. Gillibrand was an early booster of Kathy Hochul, a Democrat who bucked the odds to win a special election last month to replace Republican Rep. Chris Lee in a conservative district in upstate New York. Lee was another sex scandal casualty who resigned in February after racy photos he sent to a woman he irted with on Craigslist surfaced online. Some advocates bluntly cite such sexual transgressions as evidence that more women need to run for ofce. One of those is former Michigan Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who raised eyebrows last month commenting on Schwarzeneggers indiscretions. Another guy guv admits 2 cheating
on his wife. Maybe we need more women governors, she wrote on her Twitter feed. In an interview, Granholm said the propensity of some male ofceholders for bad behavior was only a small part of her quest to get more women to run. She said women succeed in ofce in part because they bring many traditionally female qualities to the job like a willingness to build consensus and seek solutions rather than ghts. But, she said, the lack of temptation helps, too. Men in power get a lot more attention from the opposite sex than women do. The temptation of that, the attery, the ego is more pervasive as a result, Granholm told the AP. Women in office typically dont have men coming onto us. Were so busy trying to get the family together, multitasking and getting the job done. The 2012 election year offers a great opportunity for women to run for office, according to Debbie Walsh of the Center for the American Woman and Politics at Rutgers University. With the congressional and state legislative boundaries being reshaped nationwide as a result redistricting based on the 2010 census, some older legislators are likely to retire and new seats will open up
SAN FRANCISCO Despite San Francisco ofcials efforts to keep families in the city, the percentage of children among the citys total population continues to decline, causing concern among family advocates and others. Just 13.4 percent of the citys 805,235 residents are younger than 18, according to U.S. Census Bureau gures. Thats down from 1970, when 22 percent of the citys population was younger than 18. In 1960, children made up 25 percent of the citys population, according to the bureau. Hans Johnson, a senior policy fellow with the Public Policy Institute of California, told the San Francisco Chronicle that a declining number of children in the city indicates that middle-class families are being squeezed out
of the city. Its not like there arent any children in San Francisco, he said. Its not some sort of Orwellian or Blade Runner future that were talking about, but it certainly is different than other big cities in the country. Cities with a higher percentage of children usually have more land with suburban-style communities outside the downtown area, Johnson said. Margaret Brodkin, the former head of the citys Department of Children, Youth and Their Families, called the census figures beyond depressing. A city is better off when it has families, she told The Chronicle. I worry because one of the things that happens is that the family population becomes increasingly polarized. We have very poor families and better-off families, and that isnt
good for any community. Even Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, the former mayor of San Francisco, is moving his family out of San Francisco, though he says its only temporary. He and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, had their second child last week. Theyre selling their home in the city and moving to Marin County. Im not moving out of the city, Newsom said. Its just a new mother who wants to be close to her family a few miles away. Were temporarily relocating. Newsom said the high cost of housing and the lack of easy access to high-quality public schools remain the most worrisome aspects of San Francisco living. Its not that we dont have outstanding schools, we do; its just that we dont have enough of them, he said.
SAN FRANCISCO A father and his two children have been rescued after their boat capsized in San Francisco Bay. Coast Guard spokesman Levi Read says a Coast Guard crew rescued the three after their 19-foot aluminum boat tipped over near Alameda. Read says the three family members were in the water for at least 20 minutes before rescuers arrived. Its not known if they were wearing life vests. After being brought ashore, the father and two children were taken to a hospital for evaluation. The Coast Guard did not release additional details.

WASHINGTON Pressured by increased scrutiny of terrorist money sources and strikes aimed at its nanciers, al-Qaidas core organization in Pakistan has turned to kidnapping for ransom to offset dwindling cash reserves, according to U.S. ofcials, some of whom cited information in files retrieved from Osama bin Ladens compound. Bin Ladens interest in kidnapping as a cash-raiser bolsters accounts that the nancial squeeze has staggered al-Qaida, forcing it to search for alternative funding sources. Ofcials would not detail al-Qaidas role in specic crimes, but the groups afliates have targeted diplomats, tourists and merchants. His awareness of al-Qaidas growing use of kidnapping is evidence that even in isolation behind high walls in Abbottabad, Pakistan, bin Laden kept tabs on how his network moved its money. The al-Qaida founder was killed last month by U.S. Navy SEALs. There are clearly times for them when money is tight, said Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. Weve seen that their donors have been less dependable and were seeing them turning more to kidnapping as a way of keeping the money coming in. Experts from the CIAs National Counterterrorism Center, the Treasury Department and the FBI and military are trying to learn more from the recovered les about alQaidas money sources and the impact of bin Ladens death on the

groups nancial future. They hope to identify important al-Qaida donors, especially wealthy Persian Gulf gures who dealt with bin Laden dating to his work with Afghan ghters in the campaign against Soviet occupiers in the late 1980s. The Treasury Departments acting undersecretary for terrorism and nancial intelligence, David Cohen, said U.S. efforts are focused on disrupting al-Qaidas cash ow from donors, fundraisers and facilitators. Al-Qaidas supporters ought to be wondering if their identities have been revealed, Cohen said. Analysts are examining lists of numbers found in bin Ladens les, hoping to nd bank accounts, credit cards or ledgers depicting the nancial underpinnings of network known to demand strict accounting from its operatives. Al-Qaidas leadership inside Pakistan rarely championed kidnappings publicly and was not known previously to widely support its use as a funding source. The group historically relied on donations through a pipeline of couriers and moneychanging operations. At the time of the Sept. 11 attacks, the network took in as much as $30 million annually, but that money ow has tightened, Ruppersberger said. CIA drone attacks, combined with economic penalties by the U.S. and its allies, have cut into that stream. At the same time, al-Qaida afliates have shown that abductions could rake in millions of dollars.
WASHINGTON In another blow to Washingtons relationship with Pakistan, U.S. ofcials say Pakistan failed another test to prove it could be trusted to go after American enemies on its soil by intentionally or inadvertently tipping off militants at two more bomb-building factories in its tribal areas, giving the suspected terrorists time to ee. The two sites locations in the tribal areas had been shared with the Pakistani government this past week, the ofcials said Saturday. The Americans monitored the area with satellite and unmanned drones to see what would happen. In each case, within a day or so after sharing the information, they watched the militants depart, taking any weapons or bomb-making materials with them, just as militants had done the rst two times. Only then, did they watch the Pakistani military visit each site, when the terror suspects and their wares were long gone, the ofcials said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss matters of intelligence. The Americans suspect that either lower-level Pakistani ofcials are directly tipping the militants off to the imminent raids, or
the tips are coming through the local tribal elders that Pakistan insists on informing of the raids. U.S. officials have pushed for Pakistan to keep the location of such targets secret prior to the operations, but the Pakistanis say their troops cannot enter the lawless regions without giving the locals notice. The latest incidents bring to a total of four bomb-making sites that the U.S. has shared with Pakistan only to have the terrorist suspects ee before the Pakistani military arrive. Both sides are attempting to mend relations and rebuild trust after the U.S. raid on May 2 that killed Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, a Pakistani army town only 35 miles from the capital Islamabad. The Pakistanis believe the Americans violated their sovereignty by keeping them in the dark about the raid. American ofcials believe bin Ladens location proves that some elements of the Pakistani army or Pakistans Inter-Services Intelligence agency, or ISI, helped hide the al-Qaida mastermind. They are playing this very dangerous game ... by having elements of the ISI sympathetic to the Taliban and al-Qaida, said House Intelligence committee chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., speaking on CBS Face the Nation.
NATION/WORLD
TRIPOLI, Libya Libyas government said NATO warplanes struck a residential neighborhood in the capital Sunday and killed nine civilians, including two children. Hours later, NATO conrmed one of its airstrikes went astray. The incident gave supporters of Moammar Gadhas regime a new rallying point against the international intervention in Libyas civil war. The foreign minister called for a global jihad on the West in response. Early Sunday morning, journalists based in the Libyan capital were rushed by government ofcials to the damaged building, which appeared to have been partly under construction. Reporters were later escorted back to the site, where childrens toys, teacups and dustcovered mattresses could be seen amid the rubble. In a statement issued late Sunday REUTERS at Brussels headquarters, the transPeople inspect the rubble of a residential building, which Libyan ofcials say was hit by a NATO air strike, in Atlantic alliance said airstrikes were launched against a military missile Tripoli's Souq al-Juma district,Libya. site in Tripoli, but it appears that care in conducting strikes against a in the explosion and said 18 people independently verify the governone weapon did not strike the regime determined to use violence were wounded.

Journalists were shown the bodies of at least four people said to have been killed in the strike, including the two young children. Foreign reporters in Tripoli are not allowed to travel and report freely and are almost always shadowed by government minders. Salem Ali Garadi, 51, who said his brother and sister were among the victims, said ve people were killed. There was no explanation for the discrepancy in death counts. Before Sundays alleged strike, Libyas Health Ministry said 856 civilians had been killed in NATO air attacks since they began in March. The gure could not be independently conrmed. Previous government tolls from individual strikes have proved exaggerated. Alliance warplanes struck Tripoli again Sunday afternoon. Explosions could be heard in the city, and smoke could be seen rising over the southern part of the capital. A coalition including France, Britain and the U.S. launched the rst strikes against Gadhas forces under a U.N. resolution to protect civilians on March 19. NATO, joined by some Arab allies, assumed control of the air campaign over Libya on March 31.
WASHINGTON As President Barack Obama nears a decision on an Afghanistan troop withdrawal, his retiring defense secretary says he doesnt believe the Taliban will engage in serious talks about ending their fight until they are under extreme military pressure. Pentagon chief Robert Gates acknowledges that theres been outreach to the Taliban by the U.S. and others, but he describes the contacts as very preliminary at this point. Afghan President Hamid Karzai
said Saturday that the U.S. and Afghan government have held talks with Taliban emissaries in an effort to end the nearly 10-year war. The Taliban, ruled Robert Gates which Afghanistan and sheltered al-Qaida before being driving from power in the U.S.-led invasion in late 2001, say publicly that there will be no negotiations until foreign troops leave the country.
BOYNUYOGUN REFUGEE CAMP, Turkey Syrian troops combing through restive villages near the Turkish border set re to homes and a bakery Sunday, cutting off a lifeline to thousands of uprooted people stranded in miserable open-air encampments. Activists said the military carried out mass arrests and threw up checkpoints in the village of Bdama and surrounding areas to block residents from eeing across the frontier, as thousands of others have done.
Turkey, whose leaders have denounced the Damascus regimes deadly crackdown on dissent, began distributing food to those encamped on the Syrian side of the border, in the rst such aid mission since the campaign against anti-government protesters turned into a refugee crisis two weeks ago. People from the Syrian side were collecting food at the border to take to the stranded families, the local Turkish governors ofce said. With the 3-month-old pro-democracy uprising raging on, the Syrian government appeared desperate to put an end to the embarrassing stream of refugees eeing their homeland. Activists said Syrian authorities at the
border were making it more difcult for people to reach Turkey. As he escaped to this area of Turkey on Sunday, one refugee from Bdama, identifying himself only as Hassan, said he could hear gunre as he ed. Soldiers have blocked roads and many people are walking through elds and mountains, he said. Clashes erupted almost two weeks ago in Jisr al-Shughour, in the northern province of Idlib, where activists reported loyalist troops fought with army mutineers who refused to take part in the continuing crackdown on protesters seeking President Bashar Assads ouster.
OPINION
experiences and our inner child. When we are blinded in this way, we are limiting our consciousness and our ability to experience life. Unless we listen to the child within us, we are like parents who do not hear their own children. Our inner child sometimes makes us do things that we wish we hadnt and she can also help us enjoy life more if we let her express her true nature. If your inner child didnt feel empathy from your caretakers when you were young, you may not be able to feel empathy now. If everything was done for you and you were spoiled, you more than likely expect others to treat you like a princess (or prince) now. If we were physically abused as a child, we may think that its OK to use corporal punishment on our own children and if anyone were to disagree with us, wed get our back up and defend our position instead of considering that there might be a better way. You have to defend yourself, no matter what. Those are the kind of things you could learn from John Bradshaw. So who would benet from recognizing, working on and healing their inner child? Just about every one of us. Our society and our traditional child-raising beliefs work against us growing up without being alienated from our true self and open to the child within. Unfortunately, as with most selfimprovement efforts, those most in need are those who would never get it. The more insecure, egocentric and/or narcissistic a person is, the more reluctant to delve into the past and even consider that there might be a problem. These are people who, no doubt, lived their young lives with caretakers who were one or more of the following: excessively perfectionistic, overly coercive, hyper-submissive and indulgent, excessively punitive, negligent and rejecting. With the help of parents, other authority gures and institutions (such
Father figure?
he failure to be loved unconditionally causes the child to suffer the deepest of all deprivations. John Bradshaw Have you investigated your inner child recently? Probably not, since we havent seen John Bradshaw, the Inner Child guru of the 80s, on television for some time nor have we heard about any new books he has written. Nevertheless, our inner child is continually trying to tell us something, if only we would listen. Back in the 80s and early 90s Bradshaw came out with several books about our inner child. He was very popular then, lecturing on PBS and quoted widely. Many of us were interested in what he had to say as he helped us understand how what happened in our childhood impacted who we are today. Understanding our inner child is important because it determines so much of our actions and beliefs as adults. Bradshaw was like a nurturing, insightful father gure who we could turn to in time of need. But I guess the way our culture has evolved, most people are too busy and/or fewer are interested in delving into what makes us tick. Thats too bad, because we would all benet from looking into our background and nding out why we are the way we are. Of course, rst we have to be aware of how we may be screwed up in the rst place. And we also need to be open to the fact that we could improve some of our quirks that cause problems in life for ourselves and how we affect others. Susan Short explained in Reclaiming the Inner Child: The part of our psyche that experiences distress and suffering is the part containing the inner child. Unless we make ourselves aware of the child within, we will sometimes behave unconsciously from that part of ourselves. Many of us have repressed or ignored childhood
as education, organized religion, politics, the media and even psychotherapy), most of us learn to stie or deny our child within. When this vital part of each of us is not nurtured and allowed freedom of expression, a false or codependent self emerges. Charles L. Whiteld, M.D. Who were we before we were changed according to our caretakers desires? What parts of us were squelched? It takes a lot of courage and honesty to admit to, face up to and deal with our damaged child of the past. We have to allow ourselves to feel, cogitate, question and to be open to new ideas and change. We have to be willing to alter beliefs that we may have lived by for all of our lives. We have to start breaking down our defenses and opening up our hearts. We have to be willing to look at how we are denying, pretending and protecting. Sometimes it takes a nurturing, insightful father gure to help us sort it all out. Where are you, John Bradshaw?

ly. The time when other nations, Arab, African and NATO, could arrange a measured exit is almost certainly past. Finally, if belatedly, planning is under way for a post-Gadha Libya. The nations most concerned about what comes next in Libya met in Abu Dhabi with the Transitional National Council, the umbrella organization of groups trying to unseat Gadha. The TNC, with headquarters in the liberated Libyan city of Benghazi, is effectively Libyas government-in-waiting. Some nations have already recognized it as the legitimate government of Libya; the U.S. recognizes it only as
oammar Gadha has shown great tenacity in clinging to power in Libya, even as the pace of defections and NATO air attacks quickens. In a recording played over state TV, the Libyan leader said he would never surrender: We welcome death. The apparent use of bunker-busting bombs in leveling his compound suggests that NATO is trying to oblige him. The assessment of President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton that Gadhas days are numbered is hopefully on the mark. And when he falls, it will come quick-
the legitimate interlocutor of the Libyan people, something well short of according it government status. ... Once hes out of there, a legitimate government can begin tapping into the $160 billion in frozen assets overseas. And at any rate, any Western aid should be doled out to reward progress toward liberalization, not as an up-front stimulus money. ... Thankfully, there seems little enthusiasm in the West and among Arab nations for a multinational peacekeeping force, the so-called boots on the ground. ... The U.S. should not let the lessons it learned in post-Saddam Hussein Iraq go to waste in post-Gadha Libya. We certainly paid enough for them.

much worse and say wed be foolish to sell stocks despite a near-doubling in prices in the past two years. Among the 9,015 analyst recommendations on S&P 500 stocks available today, only 300 are to sell, or 3.3 percent, according to data provider FactSet. Thats the same proportion from a month earlier when the economy was considered to be in better shape. All else being equal, you want to sell if you think profit growth could slow. Analysts work for banks, brokerages and research rms. To form their opinions on stocks, they pore over the nancials of companies, visit their ofces and factories and grill their executives. Then they churn out voluminous reports backing those opinions. Those are widely read even by professional investors who like to poke fun at their relentless bullishness. S&Ps Silverblatt thinks many analysts will eventually lower their estimates. He notes that most prefer to wait for corporate executives to hint that they should cut estimates before doing it.
Analyst predictions
Prots will leap in the second quarter. For April through June,analysts expect that companies in the S&P 500 index will post $23.90 in operating prots per share,four pennies less than their estimate at the end of May,according to an S&P survey. If that happens, companies will earn 15 percent more than in last years second quarter. Record prots next quarter. For the three months ending Sept. 30, S&P says analysts see operating prots hitting $25.09 per share. That would be a higher than any quarter yet, beating results from the second quarter of 2007. Back then the economy was growing twice as fast and the unemployment rate was half what it is today. A blockbuster year, followed by another.For all four quarters of 2011, analysts estimate that S&P 500 prots will hit a record $97.86 per share, surpassing by $10 the previous record for any year, set in 2006. Then, they insist, prots will jump another 14 percent to $111.82 per share in 2012.
NEW YORK Whats the difference between an ostrich and a Wall Street analyst? An ostrich occasionally takes its head out of the sand. Despite a urry of signs that the economy is slowing, stock analysts nearly every single one have remained bullish on stocks. Greece may be hurtling toward default, the U.S. unemployment rate remains high, and house prices are still declining. But the hundreds of pros paid to tell us when to buy and sell stocks have barely touched their call for fast growth in corporate sales and prots for the next several quarters. Theres a lot of optimism here, says Howard Silverblatt, chief index analyst at Standard & Poors. Theyre predicting the second half of the year will be the best ever for prots. Do you feel that way? Of course, no one can predict with certainty whether the economy will slow to a crawl or even fall into another recession. But whats startling is the near unanimity among these prognosticators. They believe that the economy wont get
LUXEMBOURG Hours of talks between eurozone nance ministers on the imploding nances of Greece broke up early Monday morning without the ministers signing off on a vital installment of rescue loans needed to avoid bankruptcy next month. Greece will get the next (euro) 12 billion of its existing (euro) 110 billion bailout package in early July, but only if it manages to pass (euro) 28 billion in new spending cuts and economic reforms by the end of the month, said Jean-Claude Juncker, the prime minister of Luxembourg who also chairs the regular meetings of the
17 eurozone finance ministers. We have to, of course, await this vote by the Greek parliament, Juncker said as he left the meeting. However, Juncker said that as long as the parliament supported the new measures, he was certain that Greece would also get a second bailout on top of the existing one that will keep it aoat over the coming years as it works to restore its struggling economy. Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said Sunday that his country was in talks for a new bailout similar in size to the rst one. In a statement, the ministers said that the private sector would contribute to the new package of rescue loans on a voluntary basis. Banks and other private credi-
tors will be asked to buy up new Greek bonds as old ones mature, thereby reducing the amount of money other eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund will have to provide. No pressure may be exerted on the private sector, Juncker stressed, since any sign of coercion could force rating agencies to consider the bond-rollover as a partial default. Such a negative rating could take down Greek banks and further shake other struggling euro countries like Ireland and Portugal, economists have warned. Juncker said he planned to convene a special nance ministers meeting in the rst days of July, where the remaining questions would be nalized.

Penneys shopping experience could be transformed
NEW YORK Imagine the possibilities of J.C. Penney in the future: An iPad enables one shopper to mix and match shirts and slacks without having to undress. A teen sends a mobile photo of a skirt to her father, who pays for it without leaving home by using his smartphone. Ron Johnson, the man who helped make Apple stores hip, will take over the CEO helm at J.C. Penney from Myron Ullman III in November. Johnson has declined to discuss his plans for the retailer other than to say he wants to reimagine the store. But industry watchers say they expect him to borrow from Apples playbook to completely transform the retailer, increasing Penneys mobile and Web efforts and changing everything from the way customers pay for clothes to how employees are trained. Johnsons skill set matches Penneys need set: customer experience, branding and innovation, says Craig R. Johnson, president of retail consultant Customer Growth Partners. If you can introduce one quarter of Apples coolness, that will do a lot to make them a mall destination, instead of a mall sidebar.

BETHESDA, Md. The proof of Rory McIlroys remarkable resiliency was the silver trophy at his side and the pages of a record book that he changed during four mind-boggling days at the U.S. Open. For his father, it was a phone call right after a most crushing collapse at Augusta National two months ago. Poised to fulll his potential and become the youngest Masters champion since Tiger Woods, McIlroy shot 80 in a nal round that was painful to watch. Gerry McIlroy, who worked three jobs so his son could pursue his passion, was home in Northern Ireland when the phone rang some 20 minutes after it was over. I said, Rory, are you OK, son? Because you always fear for your kids, the father said Sunday. And he says, Dad, um, I have no problem with it at all. I hit a few bad shots. And if you play golf, then youll understand that. The father had his countrys ag draped over a green shirt during a momentous celebration at Congressional on Sunday. McIlroy, the 22-year-old who can make golf look easy even in the toughest of circumstances, buried that Masters memory the way he buried his competition in a breathtaking performance lled with the promise of more majors to come. I felt like I got over the Masters pretty quickly. I kept telling you guys that, and I dont know if you believed me or not. But

The two-bagger was the beginning of a big day for the College of San Mateo product. Hurley would score a batter later when an error at second by the Shockers plated him easily. The Shockers responded though by leading the game off with four straight hits. Chris Lewis double from the four-hole was the big hit, plating two to

man Aubrey Huff, who had one of San Franciscos ve hits. There is doubt about it that no one is where he wants to be. We have to gure ways to score, and its going to be no easy task. We have to start working counts, getting on and putting pressure on the other guys. The Giants didnt do much of that against Oakland starter Trevor Cahill, then paid for it when Landon Powell hit a tiebreaking home run in the eighth inning, his rst homer of the season. Powell, making a rare start in place of catcher Kurt Suzuki, was hitless in two at-bats against Cain before hitting going deep off reliever Jeremy Affeldt (1-1). It was supposed to be a sinker down, Affeldt said. Obviously it was the wrong pitch. I think I could have thrown it a little further away from him. He just got the barrel on it and lifted it. Cahill (7-5) pitched eight innings to win for the rst time since May 9. Oaklands right-hander, who was 0-5 in his previous seven starts, pitched out of jams in the second and third to help the As extend their season-high winning streak to ve.
OAKLAND San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy has tried just about everything he can think of to snap the slumping Giants out of their offensive funk. Now general manager Brian Sabean is getting involved. After the Giants lost their fourth straight game Sunday, Bochy hinted roster changes could be coming for the defending World Series champions. It has to be something that makes sense, said Bochy following the Giants 2-1 loss to the Oakland Athletics. Last year, we had a couple moves that worked out great.
Aaron Rowand had an RBI double for San Francisco. Cain allowed only three hits, had ve strikeouts and didnt walk a batter for only the second time this season. But with the Giants offense still sputtering with runners in scoring position they are 0 for 26 over the last four games it wasnt enough. Cain gave up a leadoff single to Weeks in the rst the only hit Oakland got until Weeks doubled with one out in the sixth. In between, San Franciscos right-hander retired 14 straight during one stretch, including designated hitter Hideki Matsui, who twice popped out weakly to second.

When it comes to the burgeoning lore of Cal baseball in recent years, don't forget about Chris Petrini. The San Bruno native may have graduated from Cal in 2010, but the southpaw's loyalties run deep. Even though Petrini signed with the Orioles last summer as a non-drafted senior, he refuses to deny his upbringing as a Giants fan. More so, when it comes to his alma mater, he is enjoying Cal's current success in advancing to the College World Series as much as anyone. Currently playing for High-A Frederick of the Carolina League, Petrini has been rooting from afar. And he's not alone, having egged some current teammates into hopping on the Golden Bears bandwagon. And the fact remains, Petrini is just a year removed from college ball. So he whole-heartedly identies with the Cinderella story of the team for which he played for ve years. Over the course of Petrini's injury-plagued Cal career, the Bears twice advanced to the postseason never surpassing Regional play, with a combined 0-4 record in 2008 and 2010.
"It comes down to pulling together," Petrini said of this year's Cal team. "Talent can only take you so far. You hear it all the time. My freshman year we had Chris Petrini [four] big leaguers on the team, and we didn't even make the Regionals. Teams in the past have built the framework ... and this team was nally able to come out and do what they had to do." Meanwhile, Petrini is trying to write a Cinderella story of his own. The lefty has advanced two levels since signing with the Orioles last June, and has excelled in a relief role every step of the way. He is currently 1-0 with a 2.55 ERA in 15 appearances with the Keys, after last season when he held opposing hitters to a .199 batting average over two levels of short-season rookie ball. More importantly, Petrini is now at the midway point of his rst healthy season since his
days as a two-way standout at Sacred Heart Cathedral. At Cal, he missed the 2007 season due to Tommy John surgery. And last year, his progress was hampered by an early-season ankle injury. Although he showed ashes of brilliance in individual outings as a starter, Petrini was never able to gather any momentum in the Bears rotation. Hence, a majority of the work he saw was as a reliever. But, that experience seems to be paying off now. He has pitched exclusively in relief since going pro, though he often works three innings in a given outing. Having always been on the heavy side he listed at 6-foot, 225 pounds last year at Cal Petrini has committed to a tness regiment that rivals that of even Pablo Sandoval. Petrini has dropped upwards of 40 pounds over the past year, and says not only has this allowed him to add velocity to his fastball, but it has enabled him to enjoy his rst
fully healthy season in years. "Actually, it was funny, because when I rst got out here I got a couple text messages from people saying: 'Turn on the Giants game, you've got to see Pablo,'" Petrini said. "Everyone always says when you really want to [lose weight], you have to believe that you can do it and do it yourself, and it nally got to that point. All through college I would lose some weight, then get hurt and put the weight back on. I don't know what nally clicked this time, but I'm set with it for sure." Petrini is making the most of the opportunity, going right at opposing hitters. That includes having recently matched up against Nationals slugger Ryan Zimmerman, while the All-Star third baseman was on a rehab assignment. A big boost for Petrini came in spring training, when he had one of his basic pitching philosophies reinforced by then Orioles minor-league
pitching coordinator Alan Dunn who recently left the organization to take an assistant coaching position at Louisiana State. "The main thing I realized this year is you always want to pitch to your strength," Petrini said. "A lot of times get these scouting reports and you try to change who you are to pitch to the guy, but you want to pitch to your strengths no matter what." As a middle reliever, Petrini didn't get any All-Star consideration this year. The Carolina League All-Stars travel to Modesto to play tomorrow against a California League All-Star team that had ve San Jose Giants named to the squad. But if there's one thing any recent Cal player understands, it's how to plow through adversity, and however unlikely, claim a bit of destiny of one's own. "Now that I'm here, you kind of take advantage of the opportunity you're given," Petrini said. "And you just run with it."

Hes on the verge of greatness now. But he only gures to get better. My impression is that he hasnt primed yet, said Y.E. Yang, who played with McIlroy on the weekend. Theres still a lot more for him to grow. I think hes still growing, and its just scary to think about it. Scarier still may be that McIlroy has Woods in his sights. At least he did on this day, fully aware of the history that came before. I know how good Tiger was in 2000 to win by 15 at Pebble, he said. I was trying to go out there today and emulate him in some way. Consider that done. But also consider what McIlroy did for himself by bouncing back from bitter disappointment at Augusta National to win the kind of Open that golf historians will be talking about for generations. He called his father in Northern Ireland just 20 minutes after losing a four-shot lead in the nal round of the Masters to tell him he was OK and that it was all part of golf. Then he told reporters for weeks that he had gotten over his failure and would bounce back. If we didnt believe him then, we do now. For the supremely talented, winning the rst major championship is almost always as much about relief as it joy. Once the burden of expectations is lifted, the wins tend to come more easily. Expect them to come quickly for McIlroy. After the Masters and after winning this, I think hell just go on, go in leaps and bounds, his father, Gerry, said. He should do well, you know, and hes keen to do well. Hell keep working, if I know Rory. McIlroy himself believes they may come sooner than later. I said after Augusta, theres three more majors left, Ill try and go out and win one of them. Ive done that, he said. Theres two more majors left. Im going to try my best and go out and put myself in a great position to win them, also. First, though, he had more immediate plans. With the Open trophy securely in his hands, there was some celebrating to do, and surely a beverage or two would be sipped from it before the night was through. Golf should raise a toast to its newest star, too. Because the future of the game is looking good. now stands above everyone going into the nal two majors of the year. Nothing this kid does ever surprises me, McDowell said. Hes the best player Ive ever seen. I didnt have a chance to play with Tiger when he was in his real pomp, and this guy is the best Ive ever seen. Simple as that. Hes great for golf. Hes a breath of fresh air for the game, and perhaps were ready for golfs next superstar. And maybe, he said, Rory is it. This was more than just one major. It was the way McIlroy decimated the eld with a golf swing so pure that he made had only four holes worse than par all week. McIlroy nished at 268 to break the U.S. Open record by four shots. That record 12under par by Woods at Pebble Beach? McIlroy matched it in the second round and kept right on rolling. I couldnt ask for much more, and Im just so happy to be holding this trophy, McIlroy said. I know how good Tiger was in 2000 to win by 15 in Pebble. I was trying to go out there and emulate him in some way. I played great for four days, and I couldnt be happier. He even tried to be like Woods in the nal round, showing no mercy on those chasing him. McIlroy opened with an 8-foot birdie and never let anyone get closer to him the rest of the day. Even when he made his rst bogey of the nal round at No. 12 that trimmed his lead back to eight shots with six holes to play, he wasnt happy. Woods kept his focus at Pebble Beach by trying not to drop a single shot. Thats what the kid was trying to do. I was trying to go out and trying to make no mistakes, and really not give anyone a chance to catch me, McIlroy said. When he arrived for his press conference, he took a picture of the silver U.S. Open trophy on the table and posted it on Twitter with two references that said it all: Winning. Bounceback.

one know this was not the Masters and there would be no meltdown. A few youngsters even climbed trees to get a better look, straining to see the 22-year-old turn their national championship into a rout eerily similar to the one turned in by another young phenom in 2000 a performance no one thought could be repeated. The nal round was nothing more than a victory lap for McIlroy, a chance to soak in the adulation and post some numbers that made the people who run the Open cringe. He began the day leading by eight shots, ended it winning by eight shots. He nished at 16-under-par, smashing the mark of 12under set by Woods in 2000 at Pebble Beach. If not for an 80 in the nal round of the Masters, he would be halfway to the Grand Slam. And, if you want to know what kind of person he is, the rst thing he did afterward was thank his mother and father for making it all possible. All of a sudden does it really matter if Woods is playing in the British Open? This guy is the best Ive ever seen, simple as that, said Graeme McDowell, who won last years Open at Pebble Beach. Hes great for golf. Hes a breath of fresh air for the game and perhaps were ready for golfs next superstar and maybe Rory is it. With Woods now damaged goods, golf is in desperate need of a new star and the youngster from Holywood, Northern Ireland, couldnt be more perfect if he came from central casting in Hollywood, Calif. Hes a fresh face under a mop of hair, so disarmingly candid you wonder if he got the memo that athletes arent really supposed to say what they think. In the wake of his nal round debacle at the Masters, he had to teach himself to play with a certain arrogance, mostly because off the course his personality is best suited for having a pint with his friends at the neighborhood pub. His game is even more enticing. McIlroy drives the ball so long and straight that his fellow pros stop to watch, his iron play is meticulous, and hes now guring out a way to get the ball in the hole with his putter on a more consistent basis.
BROOKLYN, Mich. Two days after facing questions about unauthorized auto parts and possible penalties, Denny Hamlin enjoyed a happier kind of scrutiny. Hamlin raced to his rst NASCAR Sprint Cup victory over the year, holding off Matt Kenseth on Sunday at Michigan International Speedway. The drivers appeared headed for a fuel-mileage nish, then a late caution enabled them to make pit stops before a frantic closing ve-lap sprint. Over these last six weeks, I can honestly
say weve had a chance to win each and every race, Hamlin said. For me, if I go about eight weeks without winning, Im wondering what the hecks going on. Kenseth was the only driver with a shot to catch Denny Hamlin Hamlin in the final moments. Kenseth tried to go both above and below the leader, but was unable to pass Hamlins No. 11 Toyota. Hamlin won by 0.281 seconds for his second straight victory in the June race at the track.

here you go, McIlroy said, gesturing to the shiny prize on the table. Nice to prove some people wrong. Four days of awless golf nally ended when McIlroy polished off a 2-under 69 to shatter U.S. Open records that simply defy logic at the major known as the toughest test in golf. The combined scores of the last 10 U.S. Open champions were 14-under par. McIlroy was 16 under. He nished eight shots ahead of Jason Day, whose score of 8-under 276 would have been enough to win 26 of the last 30 U.S. Opens. Its just phenomenal golf, Day said. He lapped the eld, and for such a young age, how mature he is. Golf right now is in a really, really good spot where Rory McIlroy is right now. McIlroy nearly holed an impossible putt from the front of the 18th green to within a foot, and it was then he nally saw his father. He smiled and shook a clenched st, and after tapping in for par, walked off the green and into his arms. Happy Fathers Day, McIlroy told him. It was the second straight U.S. Open title for the tiny country of Northern Ireland, and defending champion Graeme McDowell walked back across the bridge to the 18th green to embrace the new winner. Youre a legend, McDowell told him. Not many would dispute that now, not after a week like this. Golf had been looking for a star ever since Woods personal life and formidable game spiraled out of control 18 months ago. This was supposed to be the U.S. Wide Open because parity had taken over. McIlroy, who goes to No. 4 in the world,

LOS ANGELES Ryan Reynolds is the latest superhero to rule the weekend box ofce. Reynolds Green Lantern debuted at No. 1 with $52.7 million domestically, a fair but unremarkable opening stacked up against other comic-book adaptations. The movie added $17 million in a handful of overseas markets where it has opened, including Great Britain and Russia. Released by Warner Bros., Green Lantern brought up the rear among superhero movies to open so far this summer, behind the $65.7 million debut of Thor and the $55.1 million launch of X-Men: First Class. The previous weekends top flick, Paramount Pictures sci- adventure Super 8, slipped to No. 2 with $21.3 million. Its domestic total rose to $72.8 million. Jim Carreys family comedy Mr. Poppers Penguins had a frosty start as the 20th Century Fox release came in at No. 3 with $18.2 million. Overall business cooled for the secondstraight weekend. Hollywood revenues totaled

Were still ahead of last summer, and Pixar is going to have a chance to get us back in the mix next weekend, said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. Adapted from the DC Comics series, Green Lantern stars Reynolds as a cocky test pilot who gains superpowers after he becomes the rst human recruit of a galactic police force. The movie was trashed by critics, and after a solid $21.6 million haul on opening day Friday, Green Lantern trailed off sharply as revenues dropped 22 percent Saturday. Thats often a sign that a movie lacks staying power, since revenues for new releases typically rise on Saturday. With school letting out for the summer, Warner Bros. executives hope the movie will draw teenagers in on the weekdays. The mid-weeks are going to tell the tale of the movie, said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner. If Green Lantern does
o you feel like youre water skiing when you take your dog out for a walk (or, rather, when he walks you)? Have you resorted to a choke chain or prong collar? When you see other dogs walking calmly with their people, do you hustle to the other side of the street to avoid the embarrassing encounter between that wellbehaved dog and your rascal? First, you are not alone. These issues are quite common. In the best cases, people seek help to address them. In the worst cases, people simply stop walking their dog because its too difficult. And, in between, some people hope the issue will go away on its own (not likely!); in the meantime, they become vampire dog walkers, only going out for midnight strolls when they wont encounter other dog walkers. Your dilemma is so common, weve created a special class called the Bark & Lunge Club. Our course starts Aug. 18, and meets for six consecutive Thursdays from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in our auditorium where barking and lunging will be expected, tolerated and dealt with in a way that makes you really glad you enrolled. I wont give all the tips here, because they work much better when we see can you in person, but here are a few. First, its a good idea to avoid situations that cause your dog to bark and lunge. Dont feel bad slinking over to the other side of the street when you know your dog will bark and lunge at the dog fast approaching you. You will soon begin to see how close you can be to someone without your dog barking and lunging. When you find that point and your dog doesnt bark, reward him with a treat. Plenty more useful tips for all Bark & Lunge Club members. To enroll, please call (650) 340-7022 ext. 667 or email training@phs-spca.org.

TAX
Continued from page 1
Internet retailers are required to collect sales tax only when they sell to customers living in a state where they have a physical presence, such as a store or ofce. When consumers order from outof-state retailers, they are required under state law to pay the tax. But its difcult to enforce and rarely happens. That means under the current system the seller is absolved of responsibility, buyers save 3 percent to 9 percent because they rarely volunteer to pay the sales tax, and the state loses revenue. With sales tax revenue slumping more than 30 percent in most states between 2007 and 2010, lawmakers across the country are grasping for ways to collect those unpaid taxes. Retailers and lawmakers in several states have proposed ways to solve the problem, some with more support than others. The problem is that some out-of-state e-retailers openly aunt the law, arguing that it doesnt apply to them, said Texas state Democratic Rep. Elliot Naishtat, who has offered a bill to require more Internet sellers to collect Texas sales tax. Its about potentially generating hundreds of millions of dollars for our state. Texas cut $24 billion in state services to cover its revenue shortfall. That included decisions not to fund the expected growth in the number of public school students and the expected growth in the caseload for Medicaid, the health care program for the poor and disabled. Internet retailers cite a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court decision involving catalog sales, Quill Corp. v. North Dakota, which ruled that states could require only companies that had a physical presence within the state to

Kim, 26, has opened the arcade just as a retail video game shop down the street is set to close later this month. Orlando and Misty Megia opened Play N Trade on B Street in downtown San Mateo four years ago but they are closing its doors June 26. Spending money on video games is something people are doing less of in the poor economy, Misty Megia said. The economy has made saving money a much higher priority for consumers today than anything else, which is completely understandable but threatens every small business that has to compete with larger chain stores,
