When South San Francisco resi-
dent Christine Folans mother died
30 years ago, no one really talked
about it.
It was years before Folan, who
was 12 at the time but now is an
adult, understood that her mom took
her own life after dealing with
d e p r e s s i o n .
Details of her
moms struggle
with depression,
including time
spent in the hos-
pital, were not
shared with
Folan right
away.
I wasnt sent
to counseling or
anything. No
one talked about
it. Thats just not
how this was
handled, she
said of the
times.
But Folan
believes suicide
and depression
should be discussed as a means for
prevention. A supporter of educat-
ing people of the problems and
options to get help, Folan will be
one of hundreds who will walk 18
miles at part of the Out of the

Prevention research, education and

A private schools desire to build
a new middle school in Belmont has
some residents who live in the
neighboring hills already cringing at
the thought of more whistles,
airhorns and the sounds of scream-
ing children being amplified
through the nearby canyons.
Crystal Springs Uplands School,
located in Hillsborough, is looking
to expand into Belmont on Davis
Drive and build a new middle school
near Ralston Middle School, which
nearby residents say is already loud
enough.
Wakeeld Drive resident Joseph
Brennan has been the most vocal
opponent of the private schools
plan to grow in Belmont, due to
unacceptable noise, additional traf-
c and the need to remove 88 trees,
he said.
Some groups are forming to
oppose the project, Brennan said,
although the city has only received
four letters so far related to the
schools plan, said Damon
DiDonato, Belmonts senior planner
for the project.
The public has until June 11 to
comment on the project, DiDonato
said, leading up to the June 19

After 28 years on the force, Foster
City Police Chief Craig Courtin has
decided to retire. His last day on the
job will be Oct. 9 but Courtin and
his wife will continue living in their
Foster City home of 16 years, he
told the Daily Journal yesterday.
Courtin joined the force in 1984
and served as chief the past eight
years.
The former Fremont resident,
however, did not pursue a career in
law enforcement
until his mid-30s
after working as
a licensed land-
scape contractor.
At 34, he was
one of the oldest
in his recruit
academy class.
Working in
the private sec-
tor rst gave Courtin a unique per-
spective on his job, he said.

Without support from the
Legislature to cut transitional
kindergarten, most local districts are
preparing to offer the new program
in the fall to allow additional aca-
demic time for children who turn 5
late in the year.
Under the Kindergarten
Readiness Act of 2010, authored by
state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto,
students must be 5 years old to start
kindergarten. Starting this year, the
deadline to turn 5 will slowly be
moved up from Dec. 1 to Sept. 1. An
additional year of transitional
kindergarten, called TK, was sup-
posed to be
offered for chil-
dren with birth-
days after the
new deadlines.
The new pro-
gram called for
state funding.
Districts and
parents were put
in a strange
holding pattern
earlier this year when Gov. Jerry
Browns January budget proposal
called for the elimination of the pro-
gram. Since then, state officials
from both Assembly and Senate
subcommittees have rejected the
proposal to eliminate the program.
While Browns May revise of the
state budget didnt say it was of-
cially off the chopping block, most
local districts plan to offer the addi-
tional year in the fall.
Simitian, who has worked on this
bill for years, looked forward to vis-
iting a TK classroom on the rst day
of school in the fall. He added it will
be interesting to look at the students
in 10 to 15 years. An extra year is
hoped to allow students time to get
attention in areas they may need
help in earlier creating less need for
remediation services down the road.
One change to come from the
May revise is that should a district

Cougar reluctant to leave cage
EVERETT, Wash. Wildlife agents
in Washington state were ready to release
a captured cougar back into the wild, but
it didnt want to go.
They banged on the back of the cage,
poked the cougar with a pole, and tried
sliding the animal out by tilting the enclo-
sure, but the young cougar wouldnt
budge.
The Daily Herald reports a puff of pep-
per spray nally drove the cougar into the
woods near Arlington, about 50 miles
north of Seattle.
Wildlife Ofcer Dave Jones red bean-
bag rounds to teach the female cougar to
stay away from people. It had been cap-
tured after wandering too close to homes.
Wildlife ofcers estimated the 100-
pound cat was about 2 years old about

Woman finds bike
she lost 42 years ago
WELLFLEET, Mass. The little girl

Lisa Brown tells the Cape Cod Times
she was 11 when she lost control while

bike in the muddy depths.
Browns wife, Deirdre Olinger, was
walking along the stream this spring
when she spotted a rusted bike tangled in
the undergrowth about a quarter mile
from the bridge.
Brown, tipped off by the banana seat,
knew immediately it was hers. She
describes the discovery like nding a
long lost friend.
Theft victim uploads
video of suspected thief
MILWAUKEE A Wisconsin man
whose camcorder was briey stolen has
found a way to get back at the suspected
thief: He uploaded to YouTube a video
that the suspect took with the camera, a
clip in which the man reveals his name,
shows his face and admits he stole the
camera.
Chris Rochester, 25, of La Crosse, said
his camera was stolen a few weeks ago
from the car of his boss, Republican state
Senate candidate Bill Feehan. Police
eventually arrested the suspect and
returned the camera to Rochester, who set
it aside.
Then, when Gov. Scott Walker made a
recent visit to La Crosse, Rochester used
the camera to lm the event. When he
went back to retrieve the video, he found
20 other segments the suspect apparently
recorded.
Most were uneventful, generally 15- to
20-second clips of television screens. But
one video caught Rochesters eye.
This is my house, yes, and a stolen
camera that I stole. But its OK, the cop
wont gure it out, the suspect says in
the 79-second video, as he pans around a
home and points out the kitchen and bath-
room. Later he adds, Oh yeah, to intro-
duce you, my name is Houaka Yang. So
yeah, how do you do.
Finally, he turns the camera to reveal
his face and says with a smile, And this
is me. Hi.
The 20-year-old Yang was scheduled to
make an initial appearance in court
Wednesday, but the judge recused him-
self because he knew one of the victims.
A new court date wasnt immediately
scheduled.
Yang was charged with two counts of
being party to misdemeanor theft and one
misdemeanor count of carrying a con-
cealed weapon. The charges carry a max-
imum penalty of two years and three
months in jail and a $30,000 ne.
A message left with Yangs public
defender Wednesday was not immediate-
ly returned.
Rochester said he almost disregarded
the videos on his camera, thinking maybe
hed accidentally hit the record button.
Then it hit me pretty quickly as to
what it was, he said. I was astounded. I
was like, Wow, I cant believe this.
Yang was already in custody, but
Rochester decided to have fun with the
video by sharing it with friends. So he
uploaded it to YouTube under the title
Confessions of a stupid criminal: Thief
is sure he wont get caught.

Healthy eating habits isnt something one
would normally say about a teen, but Alberta
Liao is a unique 18-year-old.
The Mills High School senior hopes to one
day share tasty, but healthy, treats with others
through her own bakery. It could even be a
franchise. First, she must master skills needed
to run her own business. She is, however, well
versed in healthy eating habits.
Friendly and artistic, food is a passion but
far from her only interest. Liao has a thick
resume full of summer programs exploring
culinary arts, outreach projects to the commu-
nity and plans to rene those skills this sum-
mer at nishing school.
Alberta Liao is wonderfully unique! In
my 37 years in education, Ive never met
anyone quite like her, said counselor
Barbara Delbon. Alberta is a rare combi-
nation of many talents: published author,
exhibited artist, creative food maker and
community activist. Moreover, she
invests every activity and personal
encounter with joyful exuberance.
Liao attended elementary school in
Cupertino. A self-described suck-up child,
Liao was a teachers pet who had dreams of
becoming a heart doctor. That desire switched
to an interest in becoming a veterinarian. It
was all inspired by her mother telling her to
consider helping others.
Food and cooking was an early interest for
Liao which started thanks to her grandmother.
Liao wasnt a healthy child. A bit bigger, she
lacked condence. Through healthier habits,
she was able to kick that.
Liaos family moved to Palo Alto for her
last year of middle school then to Millbrae for
high school. She enrolled at Mills and found
the transition to be an easy one except for
the rst day. She walked in the door and her
backpack got stuck on a hinge. Aside from her
rst introduction to her new school, Liao
quickly found her niche. She enrolled in jour-
nalism and worked with the schools paper

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Six of the seven candidates vying
for an open seat on the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors met
in Redwood City Thursday for a
forum discussion on some of the
issues facing the county as the June
5 primary election draws near.
The District Four seat, which
encompasses East Palo Alto,
Redwood City, Menlo Park and
North Fair Oaks, has been held by
Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson
since 1999.
At Thursdays forum hosted
by the nonprofit alliance group
Thrive the candidates squared
off on varying approaches to con-
fronting San Mateo Countys ongo-
ing structural deficit, implementing
the states realignment plan and
creating increased revenue for the
countys coffers.
Businessman and Redwood City
Planning Commissioner Ernie
Schmidt suggested that the county
needs to work harder to promote
itself as friendly to businesses and
attractive to tourists.
Economic development is huge
for me, Schmidt said. We should
be trying to figure out how to get
more people to shop here.
Schmidt also suggested that he
opposed generating revenue
through new taxes. Three county-
wide measures on the June 5 ballot
could potentially raise the transient
occupancy tax, impose a new tax
on parking facilities and impose a
new tax on vehicle rental business-
es.
Im not a
believer that
taxing and cut-
ting are a way to
p r o s p e r i t y,
Schmidt said.
M e m o
Morantes, a
local business
owner who has
served on the
San Mateo
Board of
Education for 11
years, agreed
that promoting
tourism and pro-
viding incen-
tives to busi-
nesses are key
elements to eco-
nomic develop-
ment.
We need to
bring that repu-
tation outside
the county, that
we are business-
f r i e n d l y ,
Morantes said.
Shelly Masur,
who currently
sits on the Redwood City
Elementary School District Board
of Trustees, called San Mateo
County asset rich and cash poor,
and said that establishing a revenue
stream through the new tax meas-
ures could help prevent further cuts
to services in the countys safety
net.
Those tax measures will bring
in $13 million
and I do support
them, Masur
said.
Menlo Park
C o u n c i l ma n
Andy Cohen
suggested that
removing red
tape for building
s e c o n d a r y
dwelling units
on single-family
lots would bene-
fit the county by
increasing its
property tax
base, and help
reduce the
regions unem-
ployment by
providing con-
struction jobs.
Cohen said
that coming up
with new ideas
to solve prob-
lems is some-
thing that has
served him
throughout his
e i g h t - y e a r
tenure on the City Council and a
20-year career as an attorney.
I do it in the middle of the
night, Cohen said. Fortunately
thats easy because I live near the
train.
Carlos Romero, a three-year
councilman from East Palo Alto,
acknowledged the countys five-
year plan to tackle its ongoing
budget deficit, but called into ques-
tion the decision to build a new jail
that will cost an estimated $165
million to build and $30 million a
year to operate.
Romero said the county should
direct state realignment money
toward reentry programs instead of
new jail facilities.
Lets not use it for prisons, lets
use it for programs, Romero said.
Menlo Park Mayor Kirsten
Keith, an attorney and legal aid
advocate, said that the focus needs
to be squarely on job creation to
address social inequities and
improve the economic vitality of
the region.
Jobs are crucial, Keith said. If
people dont have jobs, they end up
running into me in the criminal jus-
tice system.
The other candidates agreed,
each mentioning in turn the need
to promote job creation and tackle
the income disparity between San
Mateo Countys residents with
education and job training servic-
es.
Warren Slocum, former San
Mateo County chief elections
office and county clerk-recorder-
assessor, also in the race for
District Four supervisor, did not
appear at Thursdays forum.
If none of the seven candidates
receive a majority vote on June 5,
the two candidates with the highest
number of votes will be on the bal-
lot in November.
The candidates are required to
live in the District Four, though
supervisorial elections are county-
wide.

MILLBRAE I
recently attended a
family funeral in
Southern California.
The burial took
place at a long
established Catholic
Cemetery which
later decided to build a Mortuary facility on
their property. I knew from past experience
that this cemetery was well maintained and
had a good reputation. The immediate
family had other loved-ones buried at the
cemetery and wished to return this time too.
With the knowledge that this cemetery had a
Mortuary on the grounds they trusted it to be
convenient and decided to have this facility
handle the funeral arrangements.
Prior to the funeral I had some phone
contact with the Mortuary staff and saw
nothing out of the ordinary. But soon after I
spoke to family members who relayed
troubling details such as higher than average
costs, questionable service and other
apprehensions that raised a red-fag. I
listened carefully taking into consideration
that funerals and arrangements may be
conducted differently in Southern California
(as compared to here on the Peninsula).
Later though I discovered that these
concerns and others were all valid as I
experienced them myself during the funeral.
Coming from the background of owning
a family run and community supportive
funeral home I was embarrassed at what I
saw as a production line process with little
compassion or time to care for the families
this Mortuary is supposed to be serving.
I wondered how the Catholic Church
could allow this Mortuary to operate in such
a manner? Well, I did some research and
discovered that the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles has mortuaries located on a
number of their cemetery properties, but
does not operate them. According to the
Funeral Consumers Alliance of Southern
California the Archdiocese has an
arrangement with Stewart Enterprises
which is a New Orleans based mortuary
corporation. Stewart Enterprises runs a
website called Catholic Mortuaries.com
giving a misleading impression to many that
the Catholic Church operates these facilities.
When patronizing one of these
mortuaries on Catholic cemetery grounds
most families assume that they will be
receiving a level of comfort as they would
from their local church or parish priest.
None of this was evident during my
experience of extremely high costs
(compared to what was received) and the
dis-interested service provided by the
mortuary staff. I dont see this as a failing
of the Catholic cemetery, but of those in
charge of running this mortuary.
The point Im trying to make is to do
your homework and shop for a Funeral
establishment you are comfortable with.
Just because a Mortuary is located on
cemetery property doesnt mean they are
your only choice or that they offer fair costs
or give better quality ofservice. You have
the right to select what ever funeral home
you wish to conduct the arrangements. Talk
to various funeral directors, and ask friends
and families who they would recommend.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to

Police warn residents of
burglary uptick in Laurelwood
Three residential burglaries occurred in the
Laurelwood area of San Mateo over the last
three weeks, specically in
the 1500 block of
Cherrywood Drive, 1500
block of De Anza
Boulevard and the 900
block of Laurelwood
Drive, according to San
Mateo police.
The residential burgla-
ries occurred during day-
time hours, mostly
between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Nobody was home
in two of the three burglaries and, in two
cases, the suspect entered through an unlocked
rear sliding glass doors, according to police.
In the most recent case, the resident was
home when the suspect knocked at the front
door. The resident did not recognize the indi-
vidual nor did she answer the door. The sus-
pect then went through the side gate of the
house to the backyard, at which time police
were called. The suspect ed prior to police
arrival. He was described as a light-skinned
black or mixed-race male, slender build, aged
about 18 to 25, according to police.
Anyone with information related to the
recent residential burglaries should contact
Detective Chris Egan at (650) 522-7667.
Commercial burglary
suspects arrested
Two people were arrested for commercial
burglary yesterday morning after sheriffs
deputies found them hiding in a second-oor
room of the building at 2907 El Camino Real,
according to the San Mateo County Sheriffs
Ofce.
At approximately 10:38 a.m., deputies
responded to the building on the report of an
interrupted burglary. The owner of the build-
ing said it was vacant but noticed a pried-open
window and heard noises inside.
Deputies searching the building found
Jake Monahan, 22, of San Carlos, and
Naomi Cole-Kennard, 19, of Redwood
City hiding, according to police.
Woman arrested for
residential burglary
Police are on the lookout for a man who,
along with a woman now in custody, burglar-
ized a home on Los Altos Drive in Burlingame
yesterday morning.
At approximately 11:30 a.m., Burlingame
police responded to the house after a resident
discovered someone had entered and stolen
several items, according to police.
A witness said a silver two-door 2002
Mercedes Benz with tinted windows and
chrome 20-inch rims was seen leaving the area
and police located it on Loma Vista Drive. The
woman was walking away from the car when
she was arrested. A witness saw a man run-
ning between homes on the south end of Loma
Vista Drive but he was not located, according
to police.
Berkeley chief defends
search for sons iPhone
A California police chief is once again
under scrutiny, this time for using 10 ofcers
some on overtime to search for his
teenage sons stolen iPhone.
Berkeley Police Chief Michael Meehan told
the Oakland Tribune that no preferential treat-
ment was given when ofcers, including three
detectives and a sergeant who each logged two
hours of overtime, searched for the phone that
has a tracking device and was taken from a
school locker in January. It was not found.
Meehan came under scrutiny two months
earlier after ordering a sergeant to go to a
reporters home to ask for changes to an
online story about a community meeting
where people criticized the speed of a police
response to an elderly mans beating death.
Meehan later apologized for dispatching the
sergeant.
In the cell phone case, a police report was
never written and the ofcers search led them
to parts of neighboring Oakland, unknown to
that citys police department.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A Mountain View man was arrested
Wednesday night after he crashed a car that he
drove past barricades blocking a Redwood
City road in anticipation of President Barack
Obamas motorcade traveling through the
area, according to a Redwood City police ser-
geant.
Eddie Boyce, 49, was arrested when he
allegedly drove around barricades in the 2200
block of El Camino Real and proceeded to
drive past police attempting to stop him before
he crashed around 8:55 p.m., Redwood City
police Sgt. Sean Hart.
The barricades were set up for Obamas
motorcade, which was scheduled to pass
through the area shortly after the accident for
a fundraiser rally at the Fox Theatre in down-
town Redwood City.
The president attended three fundraising
events in Atherton, Redwood City and San
Jose during a 16-hour trip to the Bay Area.
There is no indication that he had any ill
intent toward the president, Hart said. It also
appears he did not know about the motorcade
or that the roads would be closed Wednesday
night.
No injuries were reported, Hart said.
Boyce was arrested on suspicion of evading
a police ofcer, hit-and-run causing property
damage and driving on a divided highway,
according to Hart.
Hart said police determined Boyce was not
under the inuence of drugs or alcohol. He
was booked at San Mateo County Jail.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Food stamp
recipients are ripping off the gov-
ernment for millions of dollars by
illegally selling their benet cards
for cash sometimes even in the
open, on eBay or Craigslist and
then asking the government for
replacement cards.
The Agriculture Department
wants to curb the practice by giving
states more power to investigate
people who repeatedly claim to lose
their benet cards.
It is proposing new rules
Thursday that would allow states to
demand formal explanations from
people who seek replacement cards
more than three times a year. Those
who dont comply can be denied
further cards.
Up to this point, the states hands
have been tied unless they absolute-
ly suspected fraudulent activity,
said Kevin Concannon, the depart-
ments undersecretary for food,
nutrition and consumer services.
Overall, food stamp fraud costs
taxpayers about $750 million a year,
or 1 percent of the $75 billion pro-
gram that makes up the bulk of the
departments total budget for the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program.
Most fraud occurs when
unscrupulous retailers allow cus-
tomers to turn in their benets cards
for lesser amounts of cash. But
USDA ofcials are also concerned
about people selling or trading cards
in the open market, including
through websites.
Last year, the department sent let-
ters urging eBay and Craigslist to
notify customers that its illegal to
buy and sell food stamps. USDA
ofcials followed up last month,
saying they are still getting com-
plaints that people are using the
websites to illegally market food
stamps.
Both eBay and Craigslist have
told the government they are active-
ly reviewing their sites for illegal
activity and would take down ads
offering food stamp benefits for
cash. The USDA also has warned
Facebook and Twitter about the
practice.

Romneys vice presidential search
has entered a new phase: auditions.
As his campaign evaluates poten-
tial running mates, Republicans
with a possible shot at the No. 2 spot
on the presidential ticket are starting
to engage in unofcial public try-
outs for the traditional vice presi-
dential role of attack dog.
Democratic President Barack
Obama is the most ill-prepared
person to assume the presidency in
my lifetime, New Jersey Gov. Chris
Christie declared in a speech in
Kentucky this week. Florida Sen.

NATION/WORLD 8
By Matthew Lee
WASHINGTON As one diplomatic
effort after another fails to end more
than a year of brutal violence in Syria,
the Obama administration is preparing a
plan that would essentially give U.S.
nods of approval to arms transfers from
Arab nations to some Syrian opposition
ghters.
The effort, U.S. officials told the
Associated Press, would vet members of
the Free Syrian Army and other groups
to determine whether they are suitable
recipients of munitions to ght the Assad
government and to ensure that weapons
dont wind up in the hands of al-Qaida-
linked terrorists or other extremist
groups such as Hezbollah that could tar-
get Israel.
The plan, which has not yet been nal-
ized, reects U.S. frustration that none
of the previous efforts including
diplomatic rhetoric from the United
Nations and the multinational Friends of
Syria group, and special envoy Ko
Annans plan for a cease-re has even
begun to nudge President Bashar al-
Assad from power. The vetting would be
the rst tiny step the U.S. has made
toward ensuring that the Syrian opposi-
tion uses the weapons to ght Assad and
not to turn it into a full sectarian conict.
While some intelligence analysts
worry that there may be no suitable
recipients of lethal aid in the Syria con-
ict, the vetting plan has arisen as the
least objectionable idea in a complicated
situation.
U.S. ofcials, most of whom spoke on
condition of anonymity because of the
sensitive nature of the subject, stressed
that the United States, which is already
providing non-lethal aid to Syrias polit-
ical opposition, is not supplying military
assistance to Assads foes.
The administrations position
remains that adding more weapons to
the conflict is a bad idea and will only
fan the fire of instability.
We dont think that adding fuel to
this re is the right way to go, State
Department spokeswoman Victoria
Nuland said.
Our decision is to support the civilian
opposition in nonlethal ways, she said.
There are other countries who have
made other decisions. Thats their sover-
eign decision to make. Weve made our
decision.
But she added: We are obviously
consulting with various states about the
decisions that weve made, that theyve
made.
Privately, ofcials say that as condi-
tions continue to deteriorate, it would be
irresponsible not to weigh in with Arab
countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar,
the United Arab Emirates and others
such as Turkey that have indicated inter-
est in arming the rebels.

Man arrested in 1979
disappearance of NYC boy Patz
NEW YORK A former convenience store worker con-
fessed to luring 6-year-old Etan Patz from his school bus stop
in 1979 and choking him to death in a basement, police said
Thursday, ending a three-decades long investigation into one
of the nations most bafing missing-children cases.
Pedro Hernandez, 51, of Maple Shade, N.J., was arrested on
a murder charge after he told police he promised the boy a
soda, took him to his store just blocks from Etans lower
Manhattan home and killed him there, Police
Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.
Hernandez told police he put Etans body in some trash
about a block from the store, Kelly said, where its possible it
was picked up by sanitation crews.
Court: Families cannot sue over loan discount fee
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court ruled unanimously
Thursday that three families cannot sue a mortgage company
for allegedly charging them a loan discount fee without giving
them a lower interest rate.
The high courts decision tosses out lawsuits led in 2008
against Quicken Loans Inc. in Louisiana by three families who
claimed they paid the fees without receiving anything in return.
The Freeman family paid $980 and the Bennett family $1,100
in loan discount fees but allegedly did not get lower interest
rates in return.

Brotherhood claims lead as Egypt vote count begins
CAIRO The Muslim Brotherhood quickly staked a claim
Thursday for its candidate to advance to a runoff vote, saying
its exit polls showed him leading in Egypts landmark presi-
dential election to succeed ousted leader Hosni Mubarak.
As vote-counting began, exit polls by several Arab television
stations also suggested the Brotherhoods Mohammed Morsi
was ahead of the pack of 13 candidates. The reliability of the
various exit surveys was not known, and a few hours after the
end of two days of voting, only a tiny percentage of the ballots
had been counted.

OPINION 9
Fine print
Editor,
I took Marilyn Portos advice and
read the fine print on Proposition 29.
By golly, the opponents are right.
There is no provision to keep the
three quarters of a billion in new taxes
in our monetarily badly hurting state.
I dont care if the opposition comes
from the tobacco companies or from
the Little Sisters of the Poor. Who
were the geniuses that decided we
could tax the bejesus out of California
citizens, mostly poor, and not have a
provision to keep the money here? I
know some say we dont have the
world-class research facilities here.
Some may say three quarters of a bil-
lion in research money wont draw
scientists from, say, Lawrence, Kan.,
because who would want to move
from Kansas to California? Actually,
those arguments sound pretty lame,
dont they? I totally blame the writers
of Proposition 29 for not taking away
the single compelling argument why I
and millions more wont support a
new tax. Let me know when someone
comes up with an intelligent plan.

Memorial Day and World
War II Battle of Midway
Editor,
As Memorial Day approaches and
preparations are made to honor those
heroic men and women who have
made the ultimate sacrifice for our
country, it would be fitting on this
particular Memorial Day to look back
almost exactly 70 years.
Between June 4-7 1942, 276
American sailors and airmen (some
not more than 18 years of age) gave
their lives in the Battle of Midway in
incredible individual acts of courage
and valor. Many contemporary histori-
ans consider Midway the decisive bat-
tle in the storied history of the U.S.
Navy; all agree that it was a turning
point in the horrific war in the Pacific.
Few survivors of the Battle of
Midway are alive today to tell their
stories. We can, however, remember
their sacrifice and that of their com-
rades and pledge to forever honor
their heroism.

T
he county has undergone a
series of fiscal challenges in
recent years and has eliminat-
ed $70 million in operating costs in
part by eliminating 500 positions,
reducing department budgets and con-
solidation. Included in those reduc-
tions was $13 million in labor costs.
Still, the county is facing a budget
deficit of approximately $50 million to
$70 million.
Three tax proposals on the June 5
ballot measures T, U and X are
seen as part of a tandem effort with
those cuts to raise revenue. A selling
point is that it will have little to no
impact on local residents. However,
there are flaws with the proposals.
Measure X would create a business
license fee for parking facilities in the
unincorporated area near San
Francisco International Airport. At 8
percent, it seeks to raise $4.9 million a
year, though opponents to the measure
say it will be approximately $9 mil-
lion. Other parking operators in San
Bruno and South San Francisco
already pay a similar tax and propo-
nents say this measure would bring the
operators in the unincorporated area in
line. However, generally speaking, the
people who would use a parking struc-
ture at the airport would be residents,
so it isnt entirely fair to say it would
not impact locals. Local residents have
the option of getting a ride to the air-
port or taking public transit, but those
options are not always available or
convenient. Since parking operators
would likely pass this fee to cus-
tomers, it is likely San Mateo County
residents who use the facility when
traveling from SFO would be paying
this fee.
Measure T is a 2.5 percent business
license tax on vehicle rental businesses
in the unincorporated area of San
Mateo County and is also focused on
the airport. This taxs aim is to gener-
ate $7.75 million a year for county
coffers. It will likely be paid for by
those traveling from out of town. Its
hard to argue that this amount may
prove to be a deterrent for some look-
ing to come to this area even in this
time of competition for travel-related
revenue. Most people wouldnt rule
out a trip to San Francisco because of
a rental car tax, but large groups look-
ing for convention or meeting activity
may think twice and could actually
choose another venue like San Jose,
Oakland or Sacramento. Air travel at
SFO is on the rebound after the terror-
ist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 but the
rebound has taken a decade. It is too
tenuous a time to create any disincen-
tive to air travel to the area and add to
risk to local business owners who
depend on tourist revenue.
Measure U is a 2 percent increase in
the hotel tax in the unincorporated
area of San Mateo County from 10
percent to 12 percent. Its aim is to
raise $200,000 a year for the county.
Weve supported such increases in the
past since it would be a nominal fee
for the average traveler at $75 a
night, the fee would go from $7.50 to
$9. Most cities in San Mateo County
have elevated the hotel tax to 12 per-
cent, which seems to be about the ceil-
ing any higher would mean nearing
the level of San Franciscos 15 per-
cent.
Proponents for all three measures
argue such fees are higher in other
areas, but since when is it OK to add
taxes and fees just because other areas
have higher fees? In addition, the
argument that these are measures paid
for by visitors rings hollow when you
consider that many businesses with
narrow margins that would be affected
by these are run by local residents.
Granted, visitors use our infrastructure
and dont pay into it directly through
income or property tax however,
the nature of tourists is that they come
with wallets and they open them up
when they arent hit by fees. The
county benefits from those wallets, its
best to provide as many incentives to
bring them in.
Measure X would directly affect
local residents who park at the airport.
Measure T provides a disincentive for
tourism and will hurt local businesses
that depend on tourist dollars. Measure
U is a modest increase.
The county Board of Supervisors,
which put these measures on the bal-
lot, did so because it felt it would raise
some revenue to help pay for its budg-
et deficit. There have been recent cuts,
but we argue there are more creative
ways to meet the bottom line. More
leadership when it comes to fire con-
solidation and further reductions to its
payroll are two fronts to explore
before determining new taxes are
needed that would hurt local business-
es and cost local residents money.
No on measures T and X, yes on Measure U Time and motherhood

important to the community than even the

I had intended to write a
column for Mothers Day,
but other things came up.
But then the May 21 Time
magazine featured a contro-
versial cover that depicts
extended breastfeeding relat-
ed to an article on attach-
ment theory, I said to
myself, I must not let this
one get by.
In the actual article, we are
informed of the various
viewpoints of those
experts who, during their
respective eras, believed they
had the answer to raising babies. They range from Dr.
Spock and Dr. Richard Farber who, it is reported, thought it
was a good idea to let a baby cry it out no matter what, to
John Bowlby, the father of attachment theory and Jean
Liedloff, one of his adherents (I guess those who believe in
a middle-of-the-road approach do not stir up enough inter-
est to make it into a magazine). Anyway, as for todays
mothers, the book, Bringing Up Bebe, by Pamela
Druckerman, a much more sensible approach, is the one I
gave to my granddaughter a few months into her pregnan-
cy.
Wouldnt it be a good idea to ask a few grandmothers
what they think about such issues? Yes, and heres one who
is happy to oblige. First, a few questions: Is this attach-
ment parenting obsession a backlash against mothers who
produce a child and return to their jobs as soon as possible
even if they may not have to? What would modern psychol-
ogists say about women who tie themselves so completely
to their children? Who are all of these women who seem to
have unlimited time and energy to devote to their child? Is
this presented as a plus in mothering or, as many of us see
it, depicting how quirky some mothers can be? How does
the babys father fit into the picture?
As I see it, the focus should be on child advocates like
Eda LeShan, Penelope Leach, Joseph Rosner, the more
recent Pamela Druckerman and those quoted here all of
whom would give common sense a chance. Most of these
experts were more concerned about the exodus of moth-
ers to the workforce, trying to comprehend the phenome-
non and help parents come to terms with it (You wonder if
breastfeeding for six years even entered their minds). And
what they have had to say still rings true today. As Deborah
Fallows wrote in A Mothers Work: Children are impor-
tant enough to require some adjustment in their parents
desires and schedules, important enough to be indulged at
times and disciplined at others. Neither the indulgence nor
the discipline can be simple or automatic each is easier
when parents have a clear sense of how the childs life is
going, how he or she feels and reacts and thinks in various
circumstances at various times of day.
I guess it sells more magazines to feature on the cover an
almost 4-year-old breastfeeding, but there seems to be a
lack of concern for the dilemmas of the majority of todays
mothers.
Though child rearing is a discipline that teaches us an
enormous amount about ourselves and the world, it is not
really seen as such in our culture. We have no traditions
that elevate caring for our children and all that it involves;
making it a way of achieving intellectual or spiritual
enlightenment. It is not given the respect it deserves, and
child rearing without respect, practical help and emotional
support can create terrible deprivations in the mother as
caregiver, making her a victim of her own unfulfilled needs
as well as her childrens demands. Jane Swigart, The
Myth of the Bad Mother.
Mothers who are educated in child growth and develop-
ment, are healthy in body, mind and spirit and willing and
able to devote a few years of their lives to their children are
fortunate, indeed. But to raise a well-functioning child, a
mother doesnt have to nurse her child until he/she stands
on a stool asking for her services. Yet theres also some-
thing discomfiting about the employed mother of an infant
pumping breast milk so baby can drink it from a bottle
while in the care of someone else. There must be a middle
ground.
Id like to see an article related to the following: Today
the greater fear is that because of pressure on American
families, children are becoming victims of non-attachment
through ignorance. The mistake may be made by parents
leaving their very young children far too long in the care of
others. Dr. Ken Magid and Carole A. McKelvey, High
Risk Children Without a Conscience.

NEW YORK Hewlett-Packard
helped pull the Dow Jones industrial
average to a slight gain Thursday, giving
the index only its fourth gain this month.
Stocks ipped between gains and loss-
es throughout the day after a meeting of
European leaders failed to deliver new
steps to ease the regions debt crisis.
The Dow closed up 33.60 points at
12,529.75. Fears that Europes troubles
could turn into a worldwide nancial cri-
sis have pushed the 30-stock average
down 5 percent this month, erasing most
of its gains for the year.
U.S economic news gave traders little
direction. Orders for long-lasting factory
goods edged up in April, but a key cate-
gory that tracks business investment
spending fell for the second month in a
row. The number of people applying for
unemployment benefits dipped last
week.
The potential for bad news to roil mar-
kets is so high that many investors would
prefer to sit it out, said Stephen Carl,
head equity trader at the Williams
Capital Group.
Uncertainty is playing a big part
here, Carl said. You dont know which
way things are going to go.
Hewlett-Packard rose 3 percent after
the maker of personal computers and
printers said it plans to purge 27,000
employees, nearly 8 percent of the com-
panys payroll. H-P expects the layoffs,
part of a turnaround program under CEO
Meg Whitman, to save $3 billion or
more.
European leaders wrapped up their lat-
est summit Thursday with no new con-
crete steps to x the continents nancial
crisis, even as worries rise about a messy
Greek exit from the euro currency union.
Markets in Europe recovered from a
huge sell-off the day before. Germanys
DAX increased 0.5 percent and the
CAC-40 in France 1 percent.
In U.S. trading, the Standard & Poors
500 index edged up 1.82 to 1,320.68.
The Nasdaq composite index fell 10.74
points to 2,839.38.
Fears that Greece will drop the euro
and set off a wider nancial crisis have
driven traders out of stocks and into the
Treasury market this month. The surge
in demand for Treasurys has knocked
yields to all-time lows.
As a result, the U.S. federal govern-
ment has been borrowing from bond
markets at ever cheaper rates.

WASHINGTON U.S. bank earn-
ings rose in the rst three months of the
year to the highest level in nearly ve
years and the number of troubled banks
fell for the fourth straight quarter.
The mostly positive rst-quarter earn-
ings released Thursday illustrate how far
the banking industry has come since the
2008 nancial crisis. Still, the report
noted that many banks remain cautious
about lending, a necessary driver of eco-
nomic growth.
The report is broadly in line with
what weve seen in the economy as a
whole, said Bert Ely, an independent
banking analyst based in Alexandria,
Va. Sluggish improvement, but
nonetheless improvement.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
said the banking industry earned $35.3
billion in the January-March period.
Thats up from $28.7 billion in the rst
quarter of 2011 and the highest level
since the second quarter of 2007.
About 67 percent of U.S. banks
reported improved earnings. Overall rev-
enue increased from the rst quarter of
2011, bolstered by higher prots from
loans and fees on customers bank
accounts.
The news wasnt all good. Bank loans to
consumers fell in most categories. Credit
card loans and home mortgages were
among those showing lower balances.
Acting FDIC Chairman Martin
Gruenberg called the decrease in lending
disappointing, after we saw three quar-
ters of growth last year.
Weakness in the housing market has
weighed on broader lending, said James
Chessen, chief economist of the
American Bankers Association, the
industrys biggest trade group.
The overall lending volume for banks
will continue to grow at a gradual pace
until the housing market improves,
Chessen said in a statement.
An exception is loans to commercial
and industrial borrowers. Those rose
about 14 percent from a year earlier and
suggest businesses are expanding.
Banks with assets exceeding $10 bil-
lion accounted for most of the earnings
growth in the January-March period.
While they make up just 1.4 percent of
U.S. banks, they accounted for about 81
percent of the earnings.

LOS ANGELES Broadcasters Fox,
NBC and CBS sued Dish Network Corp.
on Thursday over a service that offers
commercial-free TV.
Dish, the nations second-largest satel-
lite TV provider, led a suit of its own
seeking a judicial all-clear for its
AutoHop ad-skipping technology.
Dish said the unique service it launched
this month doesnt violate copyrights
and that it is seeing a groundswell of
support from consumers.
The ght is over a subtle but key ques-
tion: Whether TV distributors can cut
out commercials on consumers behalf,
or if consumers hold that power alone
with their ngers on the remote.
Since May 10, Dish has been advertis-
ing a digital video recorder service
called Primetime Anytime that gives
consumers access to the last eight days
of prime-time programming from the
four major broadcast networks ABC,
NBC, CBS and Fox with the com-
mercials stripped out. The service, avail-
able to Dishs top-tier subscribers, uses
technology called AutoHop to deliver
the programming ad-free.
In a suit led Thursday in a Los
Angeles federal court, News Corp.s Fox
says Dishs service is unauthorized and
violates a licensing agreement between
the two companies.
It says the service is a form of unli-
censed video-on-demand because the
recordings are kept on a portion of the
DVRs hard drive that is controlled by
Dish. Fox only licenses its regular pro-
grams to Dish for playback on VOD on
the condition that fast-forwarding of
commercials is disabled.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The city of Atherton can boast
they have a pair of All-American
lacrosse players in their midst.
U.S. Lacrosse named Menlo-
Athertons Richard Cornew and
Menlo Schools Wiley Osborne to
the 2012 Boys Lacrosse Northern
California All-American Team on
Thursday.
Cornew, a senior for the Bears, is
a four-year varsity player as a
long stick midelder and a close
defenseman.
His senior year, he transitioned
from LSM to close defense and in
22 games (two of which he played
goalie) he had 72 ground balls and
forced 18 turnovers.
In the two games in goal, he made
17 saves and had a 59 percent save
percentage.
Richard ... is very fast, said M-
A head coach Steve Kryger via
press release. He is very difcult to
beat one-on-one given his size,
strength and speed. Throughout his
career, Richard has covered the
opposing teams best players and
limited their production, almost
always holding them well below
their game average for goals and
assists.
Osborne, a Menlo junior, has been
a starting attackman for the Knights
the past three years and a captain on
the 2012 team. This past year, he led
the Knights with 60 goals and 47
assists in addition to recording 47
ground balls and forcing 11
turnovers.
In the summer of 2011, Wiley
played with the Alcatraz Outlaws
club team and competed against the
best high school players in the
nation. He excelled, garnering all-
star nominations at camps. In the
process, he became a priority recruit
for the class of 2013 and has com-
mitted to Dartmouth College. At
the end of the summer, Wiley tried
out for the Under Armor All-
America West Team and made the
squad.
Wiley continuously proves to be
an explosive, relentless lacrosse
player who understands this game
better than anyone I've ever coached
in nine years, said Menlo head
coach Todd Blumbergs.
During this past season, Wiley
has been locked off in some fashion

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Some years ago, as part of a fea-
tured television broadcast, newly
assigned special assistant to the gen-
eral manager
Felipe Alou
raved about two
young prospects
just signed by
the Giants. It
was the first
time many fans
heard the names
of Charlie
Culberson and
Nick Noonan.
The two have plenty in common.
Both were supplementary first-
round draft picks in 2007. Both
were drafted out of high school and
signed as 18-year-olds. And, per-
haps most importantly, both are
middle inelders.
This year, Noonan and Culberson
were establishing themselves as
double-play partners at Triple-A
Fresno, until the Giants placed Ryan
Theriot on the disabled list with an
elbow injury in early May, forcing
them to throw the untested
Culberson into the big clubs belea-
guered ineld mix.
Its definitely a little weird,
Noonan said the day after his room-
mates major league debut. Charlie
was here in my apartment and now
hes on TV.
If Noonan was suffering any sep-
aration anxiety, he took it out on
opposing pitchers. In 10 games dur-
ing Culbersons promotion, Noonan
raked at a .375 clip (15 for 40) with
two home runs and 14 RBI. On the
season, the left-handed hitting
inelder is batting .331, including
.347 against southpaws and a team-
best .465 with runners in scoring
position.
Thats quite a turnaround after
two subpar years that left the one-
time top prospect toiling in obscuri-
ty.
In 2009, Noonan was ranked in
the organizational Top 10 by
At two games under .500 in the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division play, it was easy to lose
sight of the Aragon softball team.
But apparently, not of their star
Maureen Duddy.
The senior was named the PAL
Bay Division Player of the Year fol-
lowing a stellar campaign for the
Dons.
No. 25 hit .583, a number good
for fourth in the Central Coast
Section. She slugged .615 with a
.600 on-base percentage, scored 36
runs and drove in seven. Duddy also
stole an eye-popping 27 bases for
the Dons.
Joining Duddy on the First Team
are a pair of teammates Brooke
Ramsey and Elena Bowman.
Bowman hit .395 for the Dons
and slugged a robust .679 with a
.463 on-base percentage. She drove
in 29 runs. Her RBI number was
behind Ramseys, who had 35 RBI
and hit .409 for Aragon.
Carlmont had a trio of their won
make the First Team in Kelly
Robinson, Janelle Shiozaki and
Rebecca Faulkner.
Robinson had one of the most
complete seasons in the PAL. The
second baseman hit .487 and
slugged .769 in the process. She
scored 23 runs and drove in 31. In
91 plate appearances, Robinson
struck out only six times. A staple at
the front of the Carlmont lineup,
Shiozaki hit .477 for the Scots and
scored 33 runs. While Faulkner can
hit a bit, shes on the First Team for
her pitching. The sophomore is 10-
1 this year with one more game left,
the CCS Division I title game this
Saturday. Faulkner also has four
saves to go with her 0.58 ERA and
92 strikeouts. Opponents hit just
.171 against No. 3 this season.
Hillsdale boasts three members
on the First Team as well. Danielle
Fonseca, Courtney Tyler and
Marissa Cho were selected as All-
Leaguers.
Hillsdale nished second in the
PAL Bay Division standings, three
games behind the Scots.
Capuchino, who made it all the
way to the CCS semifinals in
Division III, had the heart of their
order and double-play duo named to
the First Team.

The West Bay Athletic League
race for Baseball Player of the Year
started with Menlos Freddy Avis at
the beginning of the season.
And now, it ends with him.
Avis was named the WBAL
Player of the Year after a season in
which the Stanford-bound pitcher
and shortstop fullled and surpassed
all the early-season expectations
that come with being a top prep
recruit.
Avis hit .467 this season with a
.549 on-base percentage and
slugged .859. He hit six home runs
and drove in 30 while elding at a
.970 clip. In 113 plate appearances,
he struck out only 11 times.
On the mound, Avis went 5-2 for
a Menlo team that went 10-0 in
league and is a win away from cap-
turing its third straight Central
Coast Section title. Avis has a 1.88
ERA and 76 strikeouts in 44.2
innings pitched.
Joining Avis on the WBAL First
Team are four more Knights.
Pitcher Jake Batchelder was
named to the team with a 10-4
record in 16 appearances for the
Knights. The left-hander posted a
2.20 ERA in 70 innings pitched with
80 strikeouts.
Austin Marcus is one of four
catchers on the First Team while
outelder Will King, who hit .370
for the Knights and utility player
Chris Zeisler, make an appearance
on the squad.
Mike Covell of Sacred Heart Prep
makes the First Team after hitting
.324 for the Gators. He drove in 18
runs in 2012 while outelder and
teammate Matt Martellas
.301/.427/.422 clip was good for
All-League status. Crystal Springs
Uplands Andrew Lim made the
First Team as an inelder after a
.463/.525/.648 campaign for the
Gryphons.
A pair of SHP hurlers made the
Second Team in Jack Larson and
Tyler Van Dell. Carson Badger of
Menlo is a Second Teamer on the

San Jose State hires Bleymaier as AD
SAN JOSE San Jose State has hired for-
mer Boise State athletic director Gene
Bleymaier to run its athletic department.
University President Mohammad Qayoumi
announced Thursday that Bleymaier will
replace Tom Bowen effective June 30. Bowen
left to take over the department at Memphis.
Bleymaier will oversee San Jose States
transition from its nal year in the Western
Athletic Conference to joining the Mountain
West in July 2013.
In nearly three decades at Boise State,
Bleymaier helped build a football program
that has become a perennial power. He left the
school last September after the NCAA uncov-
ered compliance violations. Qayoumi says he
discussed those violations with Bleymaier and
the NCAA and is condent Bleymaier was the
right choice for San Jose State.
NFL and on-field
officials agree to mediation
WASHINGTON The NFL and its refer-
ees union have agreed to federal mediation.
George Cohen, director of the Federal
Mediation and Conciliation Service, will con-
duct the talks between the on-eld ofcials
and the league. Cohen also mediated between
the NFL and its players union before last
years lockout.
No dates or sites have been announced for
the mediation, and NFL spokesman Greg
Aiello says, The goal is to negotiate an
agreement.
The officials contract with the league
expired after the 2011 season. The NFL is
looking into replacement ofcials if a new
deal is not reached by the preseason.
In 2001, replacement ofcials were used for
one preseason game and the rst week of the
regular season before a contract was nalized.
Giants beat up on Marlins
MIAMI Melky Cabrera had three hits
and drove in four runs Thursday for the San
Francisco Giants, who gave Ryan Vogelsong
robust run support for a
change to beat the Miami
Marlins 14-7.
Vogelsong (3-2) allowed
three runs in 6 1-3 innings,
which hiked his ERA to
2.50. The Giants had 22
runs in his previous seven
starts.
The Giants came into
the game leading the
majors in stranded run-
ners, but went 7 for 17
with runners in scoring position. Their run
total and 15 hits were both season highs.
Angel Pagan had four RBIs, while Cabrera
raised his average to .362.
Giancarlo Stanton drove in three runs and
hit another tape-measure home run for the
Marlins. They began the night with the best
record in the majors since May 1, but lost their
second in a row.
Anibal Sanchez (2-3) gave up ve runs in 5
1-3 innings, his shortest and worst outing this
year. He had allowed a total of three runs in
his four previous starts against the Giants.
A long, humbling night for the Marlins
included a botched rundown, a throwing error,
two wild pitches, 11 men left on base and one
pratfall. First baseman Logan Morrison
ducked and landed with an awkward op to
avoid being hit in the head by a throw home
from right elder Stanton.
The bizarre moment left both players laugh-
ing.
The game was tied at 1 when the Giants
wiggled out of a rundown and went on to
score four runs in the sixth. Gregor Blanco
tripled and was briefly hung up on a
grounder back to Sanchez, but he scrambled
safely back to third when catcher Brett
Hayes held the ball too long.
After a walk loaded the bases, Pagan hit a
two-run double, another run scored on a wild
pitch and Brandon Belt blooped an RBI single
over a drawn-in ineld to put the Giants up 5-
1 and end Sanchezs night.
The Marlins sometimes celebrate big hits by
making a lo viste sign a sideways V over
one eye and a grinning Pagan borrowed the
gesture after he singled home a run in the
fourth inning.
Houston pitcher Wilton Lopez mocked the
gesture when his team played the Marlins ear-
lier this season.
Consecutive two-run doubles by Brandon
Crawford and Cabrera in the eighth put the
Giants ahead 12-3.
Stanton became the rst player to homer
into the beer garden beyond the 427-foot sign
in left-center eld some 50 feet above the
playing eld. It was his 10th homer this sea-
son and gave Miami a 1-0 lead in the second
inning.

IOC-USOC revenue deal done; U.S can bid
QUEBEC CITY International and U.S.
Olympic leaders nalized a new revenue-shar-
ing agreement on Thursday that ends years of
acrimony between the powerful bodies and
clears the way for future American bids for the
games.
After years of protracted negotiations, the
two sides signed a long-term agreement that
will reduce the USOCs future percentage
share of TV and marketing revenues a
breakthrough that helps bring the U.S. back
into the international fold.
This is a very happy moment, IOC
President Jacques Rogge said. This agree-
ment will denitely strengthen both sides.
USOC chairman Larry Probst called it a
terric arrangement for both the IOC and the
USOC, a great outcome for the Olympic
movement around the world.
The deal, which runs until 2040, resolves
the long-running dispute over the U.S. share
of Olympic television and sponsorship rev-
enues that soured relations and undermined
recent American bids for the games.
The USOC had said repeatedly it will not
bid again until the revenue issue was resolved.
With a deal in place, the U.S. will consider
whether to bid for the 2022 Winter Games or
2024 Summer Olympics.
We hope this has removed a road block
from a successful bid for the United States,
Probst said, adding that the USOC would hold
a board meeting in San Francisco next month
to consider how to move forward.

Dos Santos didnt always love fighting
BURBANK Junior Dos Santos
got into only a few street ghts as a
kid in Brazil, and he doesnt remem-
ber winning any of them.
I was a crying boy, the 6-foot-4,
240-pound Dos
Santos said over
lunch this week.
I got beat up. I
didnt like it.
Dos Santos
thinks he could
have been con-
tent as a busboy
or a laborer. He
didnt have the
rampaging fire
of many mixed
martial artists, no desire to prove the
whole world wrong with his sts.
How he became the UFCs heavy-
weight champion still surprises Dos
Santos, a relative latecomer to MMA
who has grown into one of the
sports best strikers, its most talented
boxer and one of the sports most
pleasant people.
You have to keep going, and you
can never give up, Dos Santos said.
Its not just a saying. Its true. You
have to train and work, and those
things you do become automatic. Its
not easy, but I love it.
Dos Santos (14-1) will defend his
title for the rst time at UFC 146 in
Las Vegas on Saturday night, meet-
ing two-time champion Frank Mir
(16-5) in the main event of a pay-
per-view card stacked with heavy-
weight talent including Cain
Velasquez, who lost the UFC belt to
Dos Santos last fall.
Although hes headlining a pay-
per-view for just the second time,
Dos Santos already won his title in
stunning fashion on the biggest stage
possible. When he stopped
Velasquez just 64 seconds into the
rst round in Anaheim, Calif., with a
vicious overhand right, he also intro-
duced MMA to a national television
audience on Fox in what UFC
President Dana White called the
biggest ght in the promotions his-
tory.
Dos Santos immediately became a
celebrity on two continents, putting
the quiet kid from Salvador, Brazil,
into a spotlight he never imagined.
Years of training with the famed
Nogueira brothers didnt prepare
him for the attention and wealth
resulting from his remarkable rise.
I come from a small city, and
people recognize me a lot on the
streets now, Dos Santos said. Im
making proud my family and my
mom. I never imagined anything like
this in my life. Everything I do, I try
to do my best. Im just enjoying
what I deserve. When you work
hard, you deserve to get nice things.
Before Dos Santos stumbled upon
jiujitsu while working out at a regu-
lar gym, he worked 12-hour shifts as
a busboy six days a week, making
little money, but getting fed by sym-
pathetic cooks. Although he was
already strong from other work as a
laborer, pouring concrete and cutting
wood slabs in a factory, he had little
athletic skill and no MMA training
until a jiujitsu coach, Yuri Carlton,
saw his potential.
Dos Santos also had a hunger for a
better life, even if he didnt advertise
it. Although he was happy in menial
jobs, he was ambitious.
Suffering makes you a better per-
son, Mir said. Adversity makes all
people greater. I didnt have a hard
life. Cigano, it made him tough. He
already had a certain toughness level
before he got into an octagon.
Although its tough to believe
when looking at his enormous
shaved head, Dos Santos used to
show up for practice with his hair in
a ponytail, earning him the nick-
name Cigano a Portuguese
word for gypsy. He learned various
additional skills and moved into
MMA, training over the next 16
months before his rst pro ght,
when he knocked out his rst oppo-
nent with some sort of soccer kick to
the head.
When I beat him, it was like
someone had pulled a whole air-
plane of weight off my shoulders,
Dos Santos said.
Dos Santos got a boxing coach,
Luiz Carlos Dorea, but his game
really took off six years ago when he
began sparring with Antonio
Rodrigo Nogueira and Antonio
Rogerio Nogueira, Brazils famed
Pride Fighting stars. Dos Santos
took a daily beating from the worlds
best, and he learned something from
every bruise and black eye.
I trained every day, and it didnt

Baseball America, on a list that included a trio
of soon-to-be World Series heroes in Buster
Posey, Madison Bumgarner and Sergio Romo.
However, 2010 wasnt as kind to Noonan,
who hit just .237 at Double-A Richmond,
before scufing through most of 2011 by hit-
ting just .223 while splitting time between
Richmond and Single-A San Jose.
A lot of Noonans struggles were mechani-
cal casting the barrel of the bat, ying his
shoulder open things hed work on day in
and day out in batting practice. But, in game
situations, he found himself ailing at dyna-
mite sinker-slider stuff, with dreadful results.
Im trying not to guess pitches or trying to
think during at-bats anymore, Noonan said.
I denitely lost a little bat speed the last cou-
ple years. I got kind of long with my swing.
Strength-wise, I never had an issue. Maturity-
wise, I may have been a click or two behind.
But, theres no excuse for swinging at a pitch
in the dirt.
But any lack of maturity was certainly to be
expected. Noonan has long been one of the
youngest players at the respective levels for
which hes played. In his two consecutive sea-
sons at Richmond, he was the youngest play-
er on roster throughout each year. This season,
he is the youngest position player at Fresno.
In fact, between San Jose, Richmond and
Fresno, there are just six position players cur-
rently on roster who are younger than
Noonan.
Thats part of the benet of signing early,
said Bobby Evans, Giants Vice President of
Baseball Operations. Youre going to get into
the system at a young age. But, its also a dis-
advantage, because youre facing players that
are older than you.
Despite his struggles at lower levels over
the past two seasons, Noonan earned a late-
season promotion to Triple-A at the end of last
season, hitting .297 over 13 games. The small
sample size didnt help Noonans dwindling
stock, especially since Fresnos Chukchansi
Park is regarded as one of the most hitter-
friendly environments in the Pacic Coast
League. This year, however, Noonan has hit
far better on the road, posting a .403 average
in away games, as opposed to .269 at home.
Development is not always about success,
Evans said. Hes still a work in progress, but
were encouraged.
Whats more impressive, Noonan has rekin-
dled his prospect star while making a defen-
sive shift to shortstop. Until last year, he had
played exclusively as a second baseman for
three straight seasons. Last year at Richmond,
he moved to the left side of second base. And
while he wasnt getting many at-bats to start
the 2012 campaign as part of a crowded
Fresno ineld, he took over at shortstop when
Joaquin Arias was recalled, and hasnt looked
back. Still, the Giants are currently looking to
increase Noonans versatility by playing him
at all three ineld skill positions.
Ive just got to continue to get work at all
three stops, Noonan said. You look at the
Giants team that won the World Series ... they
had a bunch of guys that bounced around the
ineld.
The Giants, of course, are content with cur-
rent shortstop Brandon Crawford who,
years ago, was Noonans host on a high-
school recruiting visit to UCLA but, they
are encouraging Noonan to stay sharp at mul-
tiple positions so he can more readily make
the jump to the big leagues when the time
comes.
You never know what your big-league club
is going to need when the bell rings, and you
get the opportunity, Evans said.
With Theriot being reactivated yesterday,
Culberson was optioned back to Fresno,
where the Grizzlies are hoping he and Noonan
will pick up right where they left off. But, if
and when the bell does ring for Culberson and
Noonan, just remember, you heard it from
Felipe Alou rst.

LADY OAKS NAMED
NAIA SCHOLAR ATHLETES
Menlo Colleges Ululani Reyes and
Amanda Vegas were recognized nationally as
2012 Daktronics-NAIA Softball Scholar
Athletes, the school announced Thursday.
The academic based award goes to the jun-
ior Reyes and the senior captain Vegas for
their exceptional work off the eld and in the
classroom.
The honor should come as little surprise
after the dynamic duo took home Menlo
Colleges two highest Liberal Arts awards at
the 2012 Honors Convocation Ceremony.
Reyes earned the Don Jordan Scholarship,
given to the student who displayed the highest
academic and leadership potential in the
Humanities and Liberal Arts, while Vegas was
honored with the Liberal Arts Award, handed
to the student who displays outstanding schol-
arship, leadership and character in the depart-
ment.
Reyes, a native of Kaneohe, Hawaii, adds to
her stellar postseason trophy case after recent-
ly being named to the All-California Pacic
Conference First Team. The junior shortstop
led the team with a .469 on-base percentage
and ended the 2012 campaign with a solid
.290 batting average and nine extra base hits
from the leadoff spot.
Vegas wrapped up her Lady Oaks career
with a senior season batting clip of .216 with
one home run and six RBIs. Vegas spent four
years with the program.

Rogue is Nissans best-selling SUV
By Ann M. Job
Americans still love riding high
above the ground in their vehicles
but have been opting for smaller
sport utility vehicles to save on
gasoline costs.
No wonder, then, that sales of the
Nissan Rogue were up 25.1 percent
last year from the calendar year
before to 124,543 and theyre
up another 12.4 percent so far this
year from the year-ago period.
The pleasantly styled, ve-pas-
senger, 2012 Rogue crossover SUV
has federal government fuel econo-
my ratings of 23 miles per gallon in
the city and 28 mpg on highways,
which means its eighth best in
gasoline mileage among non-
hybrid, 2012 SUV nameplates.
The top-selling SUV at Nissan,
the Rogue also is nicely sized,
maneuverable and has a drivers seat
that provides plenty of height
adjustment for small stature drivers.
The Rogue is a recommended buy
of Consumer Reports with above-
average reliability. Its also the rst
non-luxury vehicle in the United
States to offer an optional around-
the-vehicle four-camera system
that shows, with the touch of a but-
ton, a view of the spacing and adja-
cent objects all around the vehicle,
as if a single camera were perched
high above, looking down.

The system is part of a pricey, $3,900
SL package, though. Also new for 2012
and considerably lower in price is a
Special Edition package that adds a
rearview monitor, which is an indispen-
sable aide when the driver is backing up
the 5.4-foot-tall Rogue.
This package, including fog lights,
satellite radio capability, privacy glass,
aluminum alloy wheels and steering
wheel-mounted controls, adds $1,200 to
the base starting manufacturers sug-
gested retail price of $22,895, resulting
in a total $24,095 for a Special Edition,
front-wheel drive Rogue.
All Rogues have the same, 170-horse-
power, 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine
mated to a continuously variable trans-
mission (CVT) that a driver operates
like an automatic. All-wheel drive is
available, and the lowest starting retail
price for a Rogue with AWD is $24,195.
Competitors in the compact SUV seg-
ment include the Ford Escape, which
has been extensively revamped for 2013
and has a starting MSRP, including des-
tination charge, of $23,295 with 168-
horsepower, 2.5-liter, four cylinder,
automatic transmission and front-wheel
drive. The 2012 Honda CR-V has a
starting retail price of $23,325 with
185-horsepower four cylinder, five-
speed automatic and front-wheel drive.
The test Rogue was a front-wheel
drive SV with the SL package added
and a window sticker of more than
$29,000. The optional, perforated
leather seat material with red accents
was a luxury-looking touch, and the
nicely cushioned front seats provided
comfort. But seat cushions in back were
short in length, and the non-textured
ceiling material inside that looked to be
just a bit above the mouse fur appear-
ance found in some car trunks didnt
impress.
The dashboard mostly black plas-
tic with a singular silver strip under the
radio preset buttons was OK but not
ritzy.
To be sure, the Rogue SV with SL
package had other equipment of note,
such as 18-inch wheels, power glass
sunroof, navigation system and the 360-
degree camera system.
But the 5-inch navigation screen
seemed small compared with factory-
installed nav screens in other vehicles.
As an example, the 2013 Dodge Dart is
offered with an 8.4-inch screen.
The Rogues 360-degree camera sys-
tem seems like a novelty item. The sys-
tem mainly helped show how close the
vehicle was to the curb and to the car in
back during parallel parking maneuvers.
At 5 feet 4, I could extend my legs in
the second row without making front-
seat riders move up their seats, and the
Rogues maximum 57.9 cubic feet of
cargo space, while less than the
Escapes 68.1 cubic feet, is adequate
and useful. I appreciated that I could set
the drivers seat up so high, I could see
virtually all of the hood.
The Rogue moved through trafc well
and impressed with its nimble character
as it wound around multi-level parking
garages with ease, slipped into parking
spaces easily and felt right sized over-
all.
The test Rogue weighed some 3,325
pounds, so it seemed light on its feet.
Passengers felt some weight shift as the
Rogue went around corners and curves,
and the tall ride height, while providing
good views out, can make the Rogue
feel a bit tippy.
But the test vehicle didnt become
unbalanced, and traction control and
electronic stability control readily acti-
vated during aggressive driving on
mountain roads. Other standard safety
equipment includes electronic brake-
force distribution and antilock brakes as
well as six air bags.
The 2012 Rogue earned four out of
ve stars in frontal crash protection and
ve out of ve for side crash protection
in federal government crash tests.
Passengers heard the Rogues four-
cylinder engine even at idle. And while
theres decent response to power
demands, the acceleration isnt quick
and sporty, and the CVT, while maxi-
mizing fuel economy, appeared to keep
the engine droning loudly during accel-
eration.
Low-end oomph or torque peaks at
175 foot-pounds at 4,400 rpm, which is
more than the 163 foot-pounds at 4,400
rpm of the Honda CR-V and the 170
foot-pounds at 4,500 rpm of the Ford
Escape with base engine.
Some carmakers, such as Ford, have
moved away from CVTs and, instead,
are adding more gears to the automatic
transmissions to improve fuel economy.
As it was, the test Rogue averaged
22.1 mpg in travel that was 65 percent in
the city. This didnt match the govern-
ment fuel economy ratings, and it trans-
lated into a range of 351 miles on a sin-
gle 15.9-gallon tank of regular gasoline.
The 2012 Rogue was the subject of
one U.S. safety recall earlier this year,
as some tire pressure monitors were
found to be inactive. All vehicles were
still at dealerships and were fixed
promptly.

Nuclear talks with Iran set to resume next month
BAGHDAD Iran and six world powers wrapped up talks
Thursday still far apart over how to oversee Tehrans atomic pro-
gram, but with resolve to keep dialogue going as an alternative to
possible military action.
Envoys said they will meet again next month in Moscow after
negotiations stretched out for extra hours and a sandstorm shut
the airport in Iraqs capital. But the two sides agreed on little else
during two dramatic days of discussions that underscored the
serious challenges of reaching accords between Iran and the
West. It is clear that we both want to make progress, and that
there is some common ground, European Union foreign policy
chief Catherine Ashton, who is formally leading the talks, told
reporters.
Pakistan convicts doctor
who helped find bin Laden
PESHAWAR, Pakistan A doctor who helped the CIA hunt
down Osama bin Laden has been convicted of conspiring against
the state and sentenced to 33 years in prison, adding new strains
to an already deeply troubled relationship between the U.S. and
Pakistan.
U.S. ofcials had urged Pakistan to release the doctor, who ran
a vaccination program for the CIA to collect DNA and verify the
al-Qaida leaders presence at the compound in the town of
Abbottabad where U.S. commandos killed him in May 2011 in a
unilateral raid.
Around the world
By David Germain
LOS ANGELES Fifteen years
into their relationship, Will Smith
and Tommy Lee Jones are like an
old married couple, intimately
familiar with each others habits and
quirks.
So much so that when this
Hollywood odd couple sits down
together in an interview for Men in
Black 3, the affable Smith plays it
like couples counseling, launching
into whiny-wife mode about Jones,
his sometimes curmudgeonly cast
mate.
He doesnt compliment me when
I get dressed, Smith whimpers on a
sofa alongside Jones. Hell just
look at my clothes, and he doesnt
say anything, and when we go out,
hes always on his cell phone. And I
just want him to think about me and
my feelings.
What does his partner think about
Smiths grievances?
Thats bull----, says the plain-
spoken Jones.
With a huge laugh, the two set
aside the marriage session and get
down to analyzing what has made
their Men in Black action come-
dies a billion-dollar box-ofce fran-
chise since the rst movie debuted
in 1997.
Jones had done big action icks
earlier in the 90s and won a sup-
porting-actor Academy Award for
The Fugitive, but he wasnt an
obvious audience draw for a spe-
cial-effects summer blockbuster.
Smith still was a comparative new-
comer, breaking out on the big-
screen only a year earlier with
1996s Independence Day.
So at the start, the potential for
Men in Black rested mainly on
the clever idea of straight-laced gov-
ernment agents keeping in check the
vast, secret comings and goings of
some pretty far-out aliens on Earth.
Once fans saw the duo together,
though, the franchise became those
two guys Jones seasoned, surly
Agent K and Smiths eager, con-
vivial Agent J.
With 2002s Men in Black II,
even the actors concede they didnt
get what they wanted the sec-
ond one actually lacked originality,
says Jones yet despite poor
reviews, the sequel was a solid hit.

By Christy Lemire
Theres a moment early on in
Men in Black 3 when Will
Smiths Agent J sits down next to
his longtime partner, Tommy Lee
Jones Agent K, and bemoans the
fact that hes too old for this sort of
thing for running around New
York in matching dark suits, chas-
ing down aliens and zapping them
with their shiny metal weapony
doo-hickeys.
Were paraphrasing a bit. But
unfortunately, thats an excellent
observation. Were all too old for
this sort of thing the shtick itself
has gotten old, and it has not aged
well.
Fifteen years since the zippy orig-
inal and a decade since the sub-par
sequel, we now have a third Men in
Black movie which no one seems
to have been clamoring for except
maybe Barry Sonnenfeld, the direc-
tor of all three. Long-gestating and
written by a bunch more people
than actually get credited, the latest
lm shows the glossy style and
vague, sporadic glimmers of the
kind of energy that made this fran-
chise such an enormous internation-
al hit. But more often it feels hacky,
choppy and worst of all just
not that funny. And of course, its in
3-D for no discernible artistic or
narrative reason.
Smith and Jones dont seem to be
enjoying themselves, either, in
returning to their roles as bickering

MIB3 not worth the wait
By David Germain
LOS ANGELES Josh Brolin
thought he was just being goofy
when he launched into a Tommy
Lee Jones impersonation on a night
out with the Coen brothers and their
pal Barry Sonnenfeld. Turns out,
Brolin was on an audition of sorts.
Four years later, Brolin shows his
Jones act to the world in
Sonnenfelds Men in Black 3,
playing a young version of Jones
Agent K opposite Will Smiths
Agent J as the sci- comedy fran-
chise returns after a 10-year
break.
After the Directors Guild
Awards in 2008, Brolin went
out on the town with Joel
and Ethan Coen, who had
just won the top honor for
No Country for Old
Men, their crime thriller
that co-starred Jones and
Brolin. Sonnenfeld, the cine-
matographer on the Coens
rst three lms, had
won a TV
prize for Pushing Daisies at the
guild honors and joined them after-
ward, meeting Brolin for the rst
time.
Brolin had everyone laughing as
he shifted into an imitation of Jones
melodic drawl.
He had no idea that years earlier,
Smith had suggested a sequel idea in
which Agent J travels back in time
and encounters the younger incarna-
tion of Jones stone-faced Agent K.
When it came time to shoot Men
in Black 3, that was the story-line,
and Sonnenfeld knew just the right
guy to call.
Barry was
like, Hey,
Brolin! You want
to be in Men in
Black? Its
fun! And I was
like, Yeah, I
love Men in
Black. But as
what? Like, Agent
Q or Agent
Whatever? Brolin
said. And Barry said,
No, to

Tommy!
Josh Brolin brings new
life to Jones Agent K

Ill confess, I am quite liberal in
reviewing volunteer community
theaters, but my highest accolade
is when I report I would like to see
the performance again. This in the
case of Hillbarn Theatres version
of Mel Brooks musical The
Producers.
Its been a surprise to me how
Brooks, in his works, has expand-
ed limited New York Yiddish
humor to such wide acceptance
and appreciation nationally and
internationally. But he has done it
and reaped big-time awards for
his efforts.
The musicals plot is rooted in
developing a unique scheme for
making big profits on a Broadway
show. This could be achieved by
one of the two producers seducing
and overselling shares to little old
rich widow ladies in the biggest
flop production possible and keep-
ing the rest of the production costs.
The two dig up a most awful
musical script called Springtime
for Hitler, by Fraz Libkind, a
Neo-Nazi, Hitler worshipper, so
camp it is looked upon by the
audience as a satire and becomes
an absurdist comedy hit and a dis-
aster for the duo.

Starr cast; imbedded it with the work of choreographer
Gary Stanford and resident music director Greg Sudmeier
and produced one of its best shows ever.
I would be hard put to find a better interpreter of the role
of Max Bialystock, a failing Broadway producer role
originated in the 1968 film by Zero Mostel than Dan
Demers. His nano-second shifts in reactions and facial
expressions keeps the audiences heads spinning.
And, as Leo Bloom, his mousy accountant partner in
crime originated in the film by Gene Wilder new-
comer Luke Chapman adds a most winning, less ethnic
interpretation that steals scenes. The role of the dement-
ed Fraz Libkind, gives Ron Lopez Jr. another opportunity
to display his amazing range of interpretations in Hillbarn
productions.
A lot of the humor is based on nutty accents, caricatures
of gays and Nazis and show business inside jokes. So, the
quality of the supporting roles is very integral to the plot
and there are other winners here.
The producers needed to find the worst possible director
for the disastrous play and settle upon the flamboyantly
gay, Roger de Bris (Raymond J. Mendonca). At first, de
Bris and Carmen Ghia (Greg Lynch) his common law-
assistant resist but no one can deny the scheming mind
of Bialystock for long.
The major roles are rounded out by statuesque Kate Paul
as the voluptuous Swedish actress wanna-be: Ulla Inga
Hansen Benson Yansen Tallen Hallen Svaden Swanson,
whom they hire to be their secretary-slash-receptionist.
The weak spot in so many community and non-profes-
sional musical productions is usually the non-professional
dancers but, with great enthusiasm and good choreograph-
ic coaching, this ensemble makes one forget that and beat
the floor in unison, especially in the scene in which the
little old rich widows do a routine with their walker aids.
It is impossible to write all about the fun in this show.
One needs to experience it.
Why? Again, it was those two guys,
their opposites routine carrying things
along even if the sequels action wasnt
as enticing as the rst lm.
Its the opposition, man. It is like a
married couple, says Josh Brolin, who
co-stars in Men in Black 3 as a young
version of Agent K after Smiths Agent J
leaps back to 1969 to save his partner
from a time-traveling alien. You look at
them and you go, really, theyre mar-
ried? Then you just see they complement
each other in the best of ways.
The rapport was there from the outset
when they started working on the rst
lm, and it came back in an instant when
Men in Black 3 began shooting, Jones
said.
Smith, 43, already had a successful
music career and a TV hit with The
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and had made
an early mark on the big-screen in Six
Degrees of Separation and Bad Boys.
So he came condently into Men in
Black but jokes that he had a fallback
position just in case.
For me, it felt safe, because if it did-
nt work, people were going to say,
Tommy Lee Jones movie didnt
work, Smith wisecracks.
Jones, 65, was known for serious roles
in such films as Coal Miners
Daughter, JFK and Natural Born
Killers. A newbie to comedy when he
made Men in Black, Jones says each
sequel has been a cheery reunion, main-
ly because of Smith.
Will is more generous than anyone,
and he spreads joy, Jones says. He
walks into a studio, walks onto a set, and
... he makes certain that everybodys
happy. He cant help himself.
You gotta have fun, Smith says.
Barry Sonnenfeld, who directs the
Men in Black movies, recalls that
Jones was shooting on his own for two
weeks on the rst one while Smith was
nishing Independence Day.
That established a good foundation for
the day their very different personalities
the reserved Jones testing his comedy
chops, the jovial Smith teaming with an
Oscar heavyweight finally came
together on set.
Will came on to the movie that was
sort of Tommys set already, and I
thought that was very helpful in retro-
spect. Because although Will would
always be deferential and charming, Will
is an 8-month-old Great Dane puppy,
and hes got way too much energy, way
too much joy, too much karmic perfec-
tion. And I think that might have affect-
ed Tommy, Sonnenfeld says.
But Tommy and Will, from the very
beginning, from the entire rst movie,
loved each other. Will genuinely feels
Tommys one of the funniest people hes
ever met, because Tommy is George
Burns and Will is Gracie Allen. You need
both.
ALIENS
PRODUCERS
you know youre in trouble. (Were talk-
ing about Smith, in case you were won-
dering.) The puppy-doggish enthusiasm
is gone, and now his Agent J is just
weirdly obsessed, after all these years,
with determining why it is that K is so
surly. K, meanwhile, remains surly and
reveals nothing.
But then one of Ks adversaries from
long ago, the growling, sharp-toothed
alien Boris the Killer (Jemaine Clement
of Flight of the Conchords), resurfaces
and forces everyone to revisit the past.
Literally. Boris busts out of the high-tech
Lunar Max prison with the help of his
girlfriend, played by Pussycat Doll
Nicole Scherzinger clad in dominatrix
gear and carrying a cake in order to
jump back in time and kill the Young
Agent K, who put him there.
(Back to Scherzinger for a moment:
Shes one of the many nonsensical ele-
ments here, one of many characters and
ideas that are introduced and then cast
aside. She arrives at the prison and
approaches Boris cell in a beautifully
framed opening sequence, then after a
great deal of buildup is simply jetti-
soned. The absurdity of such random-
ness isnt even amusing; it just feels
sloppy.)
Anyway, Boris returns to the summer
of 1969, a few days before the historic
Apollo 11 moon mission, and takes out
Agent K. Agent J shows up for work in
the present day and wonders what hap-
pened to his partner; once he gures it
out, he jumps back a bit earlier to kill
Boris before Boris can kill K. Time-trav-
el plots can make you feel dizzy and
nauseous if you try and pick them apart
to determine whether they make sense,
but once we reach our destination here,
the jokes provide no pleasant escape. Its
all super-obvious sh-out-of-water stuff
and gags about how ridiculous hippies
looked.
Men in Black 3 begins to address
the possibilities of how it must have felt
for a strong black man in America dur-
ing this tense time for race relations,
then backs off. Theres also a brief,
clever bit in which Bill Hader plays
Andy Warhol that might have worked as
a separate Saturday Night Live sketch.
Again, more opportunities squandered.
The best part of our trip to the 60s
the best part of the movie, period is
the arrival of the Young Agent K. Josh
Brolin channels Jones in eerily dead-on
fashion, from the bemused Texas twang
to reticent demeanor to the slightest
facial tics. Its also an amusing bit of
casting given that a) the two actors co-
starred in the Coen brothers masterpiece
No Country for Old Men and b) Brolin
is supposed to be playing a 29-year-old
version of Jones, even though hes in his
mid-40s, and looks it.
As good as Brolin is, though, the nov-
elty wears off quickly, and were once
again left with the realization that theres
no substance to the script (credited, for
the record, to Etan Cohen). And all the
familiar and rather at comic elements
lead up to a revelatory climax that comes
out of nowhere and in no way earns the
sort of heartrending emotion it aims to
evoke from its audience.
But the most disappointing part of all:
Frank the talking pug is nowhere to be
found. The movie is a dog anyway with-
out him.
Men in Black 3, a Columbia
Pictures release, is rated PG-13 for sci-
action violence and brief suggestive con-
tent. Running time: 105 minutes. One
and a half stars out of four.

By Keith Kreitman
Smuin is back in town with a
spring program of three refreshing
ballets at the Mountain View
Center for the Performing Arts.
I have often written that Ive been
hard put to categorize Smuin as a
modern dance company or as tradi-
tional classic. It does both so well.
This program has two very modern:
Swipe by Val Caniparoli and
Through by Ma Cong and a sort
of a transitional, Symphony of
Psalms by Michael Smuin to the
music of Igor Stravinsky.
Whichever, as usual, they excel in
all three.
The principal characteristic of
the company is matched sets of
young, athletic performers able to
gracefully move into the most
accomplished of classical move-
ments. So close in ability, it is sim-
ply impossible to single out any
one as a prima donna or princi-
pal male dancer. Their flawless
articulation and coordination of
movements always make one won-
der whether they are programmed
with microchips imbedded.
Swipe, by Caniparoli, for me,
was the evenings winner. Set to the
music of Sergei Prokofiefs grand-
son, Gabriel, at 35 minutes, it is a
technical excursion into some of
the most original of movements I
have seen in quite a while. Rooted
in electro club and hip-hop music,
it is a deep step into the future of
modern dance.
Somewhat similar in new move-
ments, but less successfully in my
mind is Through by Chinese born
Ma Cong.
Symphony of Psalms, choreo-
graphed by Michael Smuin, him-
self, and premiered in 2006 is
always a winner for the elegance of
its lines to the sometimes jarring
music of Igor Stravinsky.
It is still a wonder to me that the
company is still surviving Smuins
untimely death in 2007 without any
decline in quality. This is mostly
due to its former lead dancer Celia
Fushille who took the reins of artis-
tic and executive director and is
building upon producing new
works by new and young choreog-
raphers.
All I can cheer is Go Celia, go!
Keep em coming!

IRVINE Fans of Diablo III
celebrated the midnight launch of
the long-awaited video game.
A crowd of more than 1,500
gathered last week around a stage
built underneath the Ferris wheel at
the Irvine Spectrum Center, a shop-
ping center located about a mile
from developer Blizzard
Entertainment Inc.s headquarters,
for the gritty role-playing sequel
set in the fantastical world of
Sanctuary.
Anticipation for Diablo III
from publisher Activision Blizzard
Inc. has bubbled over because the
previous entry in the series was
released 12 years ago, a lifetime in
the gaming world when compared
with franchises like World of
Warcraft and Call of Duty,
which regularly receive updates.
When we first started doing
midnight launches, we didnt think
anyone would come, but now we
do them for all our games, and they
get bigger and bigger, said Rob
Pardo, Blizzards vice president of
game design. Its great for not
only the fans but also the develop-
ment team. They get to be here
when everyone is buying the game
and see the excitement.
Diablo fans huddled around
the stage to watch Blizzard artists
sketch characters from scratch,
view never-before-seen footage,
take part in trivia contests and
attempt to catch free swag during
loot storms.
Ian Noble, 24, wanted his collec-
tors edition autographed by devel-
opers.
Theres nowhere Id rather be
tonight, Noble said. Ive been
waiting for this moment for a long,
long time.
So why did it take so long?
We were just goofing off most-
ly, joked lead designer Jay Wilson
over howls from the crowd. No, it
takes a long time to make a
Blizzard game. Were very focused
on quality. If we think something is
not good enough, we make it better.
We redo things, which is really
uncommon in game development.
If we build a level and dont like
(it), well throw it out.
In the third chapter of Diablo,
players choose among five classes
barbarian, demon hunter, monk,
witch doctor or wizard and bat-
tle hellish minions across the land-
scape of Sanctuary.
Wilson hopes new sprawling bat-
tlefields, real-money auctions, a
deeper combat system and
increased online capabilities for
Diablo III will appease even the
frustrated fans.
I think it gave me more empathy,
perhaps, toward others knowing
what people struggled with every
day, he said.
Being able to raise his two sons in
the community he worked in holds
special meaning for Courtin, who as
a former detective sergeant was
aware of every single criminal case
in the city.
He moved his family to Foster
City because of the quality of the
schools and its obvious aesthetic
beauty.
Craig has been an inspired leader
within the police department and is
leaving the department well pre-
pared to successfully move into the
future. I applaud not only his pro-
fessional accomplishments but also
his many contributions as a volun-
teer in the community. We will miss
him but wish him the best in retire-
ment, City Manager Jim Hardy
wrote in a prepared statement.
Councilman Herb Perez said
Courtin was a fair, even-handed
chief.
Hes responsible for the level of
professionalism you see in this
town, Perez said.
Courtins level of dedication to
the city was unmatched, said
Councilman Charlie Bronitsky.
Craig Courtin is a shining exam-
ple of the excellence of those who
have dedicated themselves to mak-
ing Foster City a premiere place to
live and work, Bronitsky wrote the
Daily Journal in an email.
Courtin has been an active mem-
ber of the Rotary Club of Foster
City since 1999, where he currently
sits on the board and will serve as
president-elect in the coming year.
Upon retirement, in addition to
pursuing his personal interests in
physical training, gardening, hiking
and traveling, Courtin plans to con-
tinue volunteering for various local
organizations.
The department will likely ll
Courtins position from within,
although the city has yet to name his
replacement.

Liao also became involved with
Future Homemakers of America-Hero
competition. She and a partner gave a
speech about obesity along with ways to
solve the problem. After advancing to
nationals, the girls had to compete as
individuals. She took second place.
During her junior year, Liao noticed
there wasnt access to as much nutrition-
al food in East Palo Alto. So, she and her
mother went to the various markets,
compared prices and created a brochure
about eating healthy on a budget.
Food is also the topic of Liaos cook-
book which aims to show teens how to
throw a successful party with healthy,
homemade food rather than junk food. It
will be published in Taiwan, on Amazon
and this year on Kindle.
Her summers were busy along the
way. In 2008 and 2009, Liao interned at
Jing An Bakery and Sogo Bakery
respectively. The different bakeries
allowed Liao to experience the differ-
ences between a smaller bakery and
mass production.
In the summer of 2009, Liao also
enrolled in the Brown Environmental
Leadership Lab at which the group
camped in a secluded forest area without
technology. For example, campers need-
ed to set up a water heater to take warm
showers. Liaos didnt work, she
explained with a laugh. The following
year, Liao followed her brother by
enrolling in the Hotel Operations
Management course at Cornell. Her
brother was enjoying the school so Liao
decided to enroll. She loved learning
more about the business side of hotel
management.
All of the activities are stepping stones
for Liao who hopes to open her own
bakery one day possibly called Maps

of her family members, and her dog.

ticipating said, will hopefully allow oth-
ers to seek help for depression rather
than consider suicide.
It needs to be talked about, said
Folan who, since participating in AFSP
events, has learned many people have
friends or family members who have
been affected by either depression or
suicide.
Folan plans to wear a special sweat-
shirt during the walk with her moms
photo on it and the names of donors sup-
porting her efforts.
Emma Gutierrez, also of South
San Francisco, will be participating
in the overnight walk in memory of
her nephew, Julian, who killed him-
self in October 2010.
The news came as a shock for
Gutierrez who learned Julian had made a
suicide pact with his twin brother. Both
boys had struggled with depression but
only shared that with each other. Their
grandmother similarly battled depres-
sion but, through help, was able to man-
age it. As a result, the family never real-
ly spoke about the issue.
Gutierrez wants to be sure other fami-
lies dont suffer the same tragedy simply
because they didnt talk about opportu-
nities to get help.
Gutierrez is participating with family
members, a four-person team. Its an
experience thats brought them closer.
A person dies every 15 minutes by sui-
cide in the United States meaning about
90 people take their own life daily,
according to the AFSP website. More
than 34,000 people die in the United
States annually by suicide. It is the
fourth leading cause of death for adults
in the United States between the ages of
18 to 65. For each death, there are eight
to 25 suicide attempts.
More than 60 percent of all people
who die by suicide suffered from major
depression. That number increases if the
statistics include alcoholics who are
depressed. Depression affects nearly 10
percent of Americans over 18, more than
24 million people.
The American Foundation for Suicide
Prevention is the only national nonprot
organization exclusively dedicated to
understanding and preventing suicide
through research and education, and to
reaching out to people with mood disor-
ders and those affected by suicide.

WALK
decide not to move forward with TK, the
savings will go toward state-funded pre-
school offerings, explained Deborah
Kong, communications director for
Preschool California. However, Kong
questioned the numbers presented in the
proposal which expected to result in
$91.5 million savings to restore part of
the cuts and expand access to part-day
preschool. The governors proposal esti-
mates the money would impact 15,500
students in the state. Offering transition-
al kindergarten throughout the state,
however, would serve more students, she
said. In addition, the number of spots
that could be created would not meet the
needs.
Susan Bell, 17th District Parent
Teacher Association president, which
serves San Mateo, said the extra year is
quite important to those who will now be
given the chance to learn alongside chil-
dren of the same age. That extra year for
the younger students will allow more
time for social and emotional develop-
ment necessary for students to be suc-
cessful in the classroom, she said.
Since Brown made his proposal, many
early education supporters have argued
the governor could not simply cut the
budget for transitional kindergarten as
its currently required by law. Instead,
the law would need to be changed by a
vote of both houses of the California
Legislature. With that logic, and the
most recent votes opposing the cut,
many transitional kindergarten programs
will move forward in the state.
In San Mateo County, the San Mateo-
Foster City Elementary School District
will have the largest group of students
starting TK in the fall. As of last week,
75 students had registered but the district
is planning to house 120 students at ve
different campuses. One campus,
Beresford Elementary, will offer a
TK/kindergarten cluster class.
Many smaller districts, like San Bruno
and Burlingame elementary school dis-
tricts, will have one class. San Bruno has
24 eligible students while Burlingame is
planning to serve 22. In San Carlos, only
16 students have signed up so the district
is planning to offer two TK/kindergarten
classes within the district.
Not all districts have made a decision.
The Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District Board of
Trustees will soon vote on whether to
move forward.
California actually doesnt require stu-
dents be enrolled in kindergarten.
Similarly, students are not required to
enroll in the TK program. Parents could,
instead, wait to enroll their children until
rst grade.

when it is expected to make a recom-
mendation on the project.
Currently, about 83,000 square feet of
commercial/ofce and warehouse build-
ings and 165 parking spots are situated
at 6-8 and 10 Davis Drive in Belmont.
Crystal Springs Uplands wants to
demolish the current buildings and con-
struct a 60,000-square-foot middle
school with a 60-space parking lot, gym-
nasium/theater/multi-purpose room and
an all-weather playing eld. At capacity,
the school would have 216 students, 26
teachers and 10 additional staff.
Canyon residents were able to fend off
increased use of athletic elds at Notre
Dame de Namur University last year due
to increased noise impacts.
While Councilman Warren Lieberman
favored the universitys plan to open up
the eld for more use he also could not
vote on the measure because he lived
with 500 feet of the Koret Athletic Field.
Lieberman is not ready to weigh in on
Crystal Springs plans until the project
makes its way through the planning
process.
It is a little premature to say anything
about the project now but we need to be
as sensitive to the local community as
possible, Lieberman told the Daily
Journal.
While the city has been sent four let-
ters related to the project, Brennan wrote
one of them.
In the letter, Brennan writes: We
dont want any more invasions of our
privacy that will shatter the serenity of
Belmont canyon living. It is frightening
to imagine the noise coming across the
canyon from competitive swimming
events with air horns, whistles and
crowd cheering. In addition, competitive
soccer matches will also contribute to
noise pollution.
He also said the school would bring
much more trafc to the already crowd-
ed Ralston Avenue.
The earliest the City Council will be
able to weigh in on the project will be
July, DiDonato said.

SCHOOL
FRIDAY, MAY 25, 2012
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you feel insecure
for some reason, be careful not to slip up and try to
impress others with false airs or pretenses. Youre
perfectly good being just the way you are.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Youll be sorry if you
confuse wishful thinking with intuitive insights. If
your hunches dont play out, youll end up being
unhappy and sorely disappointed.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Its more than likely that
you might not be as good at reading the intentions of
others as you think you are. Dont make the mistake
of judging your friends actions in advance.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It might take a lot more
effort than usual to convince your close associates
that your idea and concepts are good. People in
general tend to be a bit more skeptical than usual at
this point.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Play it smart and dont
offer any unsolicited advice to co-workers regarding
something you know little about. If youre wrong, itll
make you look bad.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Treat the property of
others with the same care and respect you show
to all your possessions. If a mishap should occur
through carelessness, you will be held accountable.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Dont make the
mistake of assuming your mate will automatically be in
accord with you regarding a vital matter. Dont be sorry
afterward, check frst and avoid some serious confict.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Have all the
instructions in front of you when attempting to do
something new and diffcult. If your memory is faulty,
you might not be able to correct any mistakes on
your part.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Steer clear of an
involvement in which the elements of chance are
extremely pronounced. Regardless of how lucky you
usually are, the odds might not hold up this time.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Your advice to some-
one who needs a lot of counsel might not be sound.
In your desire to spare this person any pain, you
might not be as frank as you should be.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Watch what comes out
of your mouth very closely. Usually youre pretty good
at keeping promised secrets, but during this cycle
you could easily slip and tell what you shouldnt.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Sharpen up if you fnd
yourself negotiating with a shrewd horse trader. If
you are not careful, your desire to get a bargain could
cause you to slip and negotiate in a way that works
against you.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Dominic Gino Casazza, aka Dominic
G. Casazza, aka Dominic Casazza, aka
Gino Casazza
Case Number 122364
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Dominic Gino Casazza,
aka Dominic G. Casazza, aka Dominic
Casazza, aka Gino Casazza. A Petition
for Probate has been filed by Mimi Ca-
sazza in the Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo. The Petition for
Probate requests that Mimi Casazza be
appointed as personal representative to
administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble 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 to 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 26, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, 1st Floor, 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.
