PUBLIC EMPLOYEES FACE ROLLBACK

A man whose refund at a San Mateo
Toys R Us store was prorated because
he received a gift card at the time of ini-
tial purchase is suing the toy chain,
claiming he would have been better off
paying full price instead of losing out on
$3.10.
Steven E. Lewan claims in the suit
filed June 1 in San Mateo County
Superior Court that the corporation vio-
lated several aspects of the business and
professions code, the civil code and con-
sumer legal remedies act. Lewans case
is also demanding jury trial as a class
action on behalf of himself and anybody
else who found themselves in a similar
situation. The suit estimates the total
number is at least in the thousands.
Lewans attorney David Parisi could
not be reached for comment but states in
the suit that his client is a perfect exam-
ple of [the companys] coupon program
gone wrong.
On Oct. 3, 2011, Lewan spent $137.56
on ve items, using a coupon that prom-
ised a free $10 gift card on future pur-
chases if he spent more than $75. Six
days later, he returned a Race
Along Chuck toy valued at
$34.99 plus tax. However,
according to the suit, Lewan only
received a refund of $31.89 plus
tax.

chain is guilty of not only

The city of Pacica hopes to make
itself a more attractive and conven-
ient destination by offering a free
weekend shuttlebus service, but
plans are temporarily on hold over
details of the route.
In early April, the City Council
applied for a grant from the
City/County Association of
Governments (C/CAG) and the San
Mateo County Transportation
Authority to purchase and operate a
shuttlebus that would provide week-
end service on a route stretching
from the Park And Ride lot at Linda
Mar Shopping Center to the Oceana
Swimming Pool on Paloma Avenue,
with many stops in between.
When the Devils Slide bypass is
completed, the city hopes to expand
the shuttles route to include the
turnaround area that will give riders
access to the planned pedestrian and
bike path at Devils Slide, and the
route could also be expanded to
include destinations further north.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Redwood Citys three-pronged
approach to nancial stability a
mix of concessions, efciencies and
more revenue has been success-
ful but the situation remains pre-
carious, according to City Manager
Bob Bells recommended budget
which shows decits in each of the
next two years.
The current proposal coming to
the City Council Monday night
shows a decit of $200,000 in scal
year 2012-2013 and $1.3 million in
scal year 2013-2014. The primary
cause for the second years decit is
a hike in retirement contributions.
If the council doesnt make any
changes to the budget, the general
fund reserve will be $15.4 million as
of June 30, 2013 which is about
$840,000 below the 20 percent ceil-
ing called for in the citys policy.

Mark Lucchesis start in the gro-
cery business was glamorous.
As a youngster he would spend
time straightening up the front of
the store, cleaning the oil slicks and
sweeping up the cigarette butts from
the front of his fathers place.
My dad always thought of the
outside of the store as an invitation,
Lucchesi said.
Today the 63-year-old has spent
his professional career with the les-
sons of his parents in mind. Rarely
will you nd Lucchesi in his ofce
at the Mollie Stones Market in
Burlingame. Hes often on the oor
in fact customers can be con-
fused when Lucchesi is at a check
stand ringing them up.
I like to think of myself as a eld
general. Im on the oor all the
time, said Lucchesi, who added his
job is to simply do what needs to be
done.
That attitude has spilled into
Lucchesis involvement in the com-
munity. Hes a Rotarian but was
recently named Citizen of the Year
by the Burlingame Lions Club. The
Burlingame Lions Club Citizen of
the Year Award was started in 1930.
This is now its 82nd year of honor-
ing those individuals that have made
a difference within the community,
by contributing their time and ener-
gies for the betterment of their city.

Getty Museum illustrates
death in Middle Ages
LOS ANGELES Death and taxes
may both be inevitable in this modern-
day world of ours, yet it seems only
death has had the ability to inspire great
art in people since at least Medieval
times.
So much so that lifes nal curtain
call, as seen through the brushes and
pens of artists of the 13th, 14th and 15th
centuries, is the subject of the J. Paul
Getty Museums latest exhibition,
Heaven, Hell and Dying Well: Images
of Death in the Middle Ages.
With paintings, drawings, parchment
illustrations and works on stained glass,
each of them intricately detailed and
most of them stunningly colorful, the
exhibition takes visitors on a tour of the
nal days of existence and straight into
the afterlife.
It opened last week in a dimly lit
gallery that, while the space was dark-
ened mainly to protect the priceless and
fragile parchment works, also manages
to evoke through its muted lighting a
quiet, contemplative space for reecting
on the end of lifes existence.
It will remain there through Aug. 12,
in the sprawling museum nestled in the
hills above Los Angeles.
The exhibitions creation was the
brainchild of guest curator Martin
Schwarz, who although just 26 is fasci-
nated both by death and how its repre-
sentation in lms, books and other mod-
ern media appears so strongly inuenced
by the European artists of 500 to 700
years ago.
It was during the Middle Ages that
those artists, perhaps inuenced by the
relatively short life spans of a period
marked by disease, wars and terrifyingly
high child mortality rates, really began
to envision what it was like to confront
death at almost any moment, says
Schwarz.
Whats more, their work, often used to
illustrate Biblical and other stories that
had been handed down through the cen-
turies, began to take on a look that con-
tinues to this day in the way devils, vam-
pires, angels and other such creatures
are portrayed.
If you think about the imagination of
Heaven and Hell in movies and popular
culture and books and so forth, very
much these ideas go back to the Middle
Ages, Schwarz said recently by phone
from Chicago, where he is pursuing a
Ph.D. in art history at the University of
Chicago. Everybody who thinks about
Hell today knows about demons, and
when we see them we identify them very
easily because we know what they look
like from these artists.
In the 15th century book The Visions
of the Knight Tondal, for example,
French artist Simon Marmion painted
Hell pretty much as it is represented
today: as a big, red, blast-furnace-like
place lled with familiar demons and
tortured souls.
Among those souls, in both
Marmions and other artists works, are a
fair share of priests and nuns who are
being tormented for eternity for failing
to maintain their chastity vows during
their lifetimes.
Thats among my favorites, said
Elizabeth Morrison, the museums sen-
ior curator of manuscripts, as she point-
ed out a collection of beleaguered priests
and nuns. She noted it is a reminder that
todays priestly sex scandals are nothing
new.
As for Death himself, in an illustration
for the prayer book Denise Poncher
Before Death, he also appears much as
he does today. Hes a big, boney fellow
covered in worms and armed with his
trademark scythe.

K
ids sensed the excitement of a carni-
val coming to town weeks before the
rst poster was put on telephone
poles to announce it.
It was probably the most exciting thing to
hit town during the year. The rides, the food,
the excitement of seeing all of the tent attrac-
tions and the carnies who ran the shows
were exhilarating. In South San Francisco, the
traveling carnival would set up their opera-
tions on the vacant lots along Grand Avenue,
just east of the City Hall/Police Station and
San Bruno used the vacant lots across from
Newells Bar on San Mateo/Sylvan avenues.
The weeds on the lots were not a bother
because they would rapidly be trampled down
when the shows were set up and the people
arrived to stroll up and down the midway.
This was not a religious event as the grand
carnivals were in many cities like New
Orleans and Rio de Janeiro. Those events had
roots going back thousands of years and last-
ed for weeks. The traveling carnivals had their
roots in the Worlds Columbian Exposition
(The Chicago Worlds Fair) that was put on in
1893. The Chicago Worlds Fair as it became
to be called was a celebration of the arrival of
Christopher Columbus arrival in the New
World in 1492. This worlds fair turned out to
be the biggest event that had occurred in
America (up to 1893). The number of people
attending equaled about half of the U.S. pop-
ulation at that time during its six-month run
that started in May 1, 1893 and closed in Oct.

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
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Jason Chandra was originally supposed to
graduate with the class of 2000.
Despite a 12-year gap, Chandra knew hed
earn his diploma. It was just when that was-
nt known. The 29-year-old from East Palo
Alto finished his junior year then focused on
work. In March, he was finished his work to
graduate. Its the first step for Chandra
toward studying engineering.
Jason is awesome, which is the reason I
nominated him for this award, said teacher
Joan Singer. It has been a privilege to work
with a student who has such high standards
in his dedication, hard work, wisdom and
joie de vivre.
Chandra grew up in East Palo Alto as the
older of two children. He loved to be outside
and fix cars, an interest he picked up from
his father. He attended Willow Oaks
Elementary School then Menlo Oaks Middle
School before starting school at Carlmont
High School in Belmont. Chandra stayed up
with his studies. At 16, he got his work per-
mit and began working part time at
American Tires. He tried keeping up with
both but it was difficult.
Instead, Chandra continued working.
Ultimately, he was working full time at West
Audio Video in San Francisco as an audio-
video technician. After getting laid off in
2006, Chandra decided to use the time to go
back to school. He wasnt starting complete-
ly from scratch. Chandra enjoys reading and
had kept up with topics that would help his
studies during the gap between time pursu-
ing his degree.
When he started at Sequoia Adult School,
Chandra had 90 packets of work to com-
plete. He made his own schedule and started
working with the help of his teachers. He
was able to find work again at American
Tires. When he finally completed his studies
which came in the form of an art project
Chandra was excited.
God is the number one person I want to
thank, he said.
Chandras family had been supportive of
his desire to go back to school. He has plans
to attend De Anza College and transfer to
study engineering. What kind of engineering
Chandra will study is unknown as his inter-
ests are varied.
In his free time, Chandra likes to work on
his truck, a 1970 Chevy custom 20. Hes
also gotten very involved in his church,
Abundant Life Christian Fellowship in
Mountain View. Chandra is also a big sports
fan supporting most of the Bay Areas major
sports teams Raiders, 49ers, Giants, As
and Sharks.
Sequoia Adult Schools graduation will be
held June 22.
Great Grads is in its seventh year profil-
ing one graduating senior from each of our
local schools. Schools have the option to
participate. Those that choose to participate
are asked to nominate one student who
deserves recognition.

Workers demolish two long-vacant auto dealership buildings on the corner of North San
Mateo Drive and Peninsula Avenue in San Mateo last week. The work is to prepare the site
for a 155-unit luxury apartment approved by the Planning Commission in October. Con-
struction is expected to be completed by December 2013.
AUTO DEALERSHIP DEMOLISHED
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER A woman who accused for-
mer Denver Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox
of sexual assault has led a lawsuit seeking
unspecied damages against Cox and current
Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas.
The womans lawyer, Craig Silverman, says
he led the lawsuit electronically Sunday. A
jury in March acquitted Cox of all charges
and Cox then signed a two-year contract with
the San Francisco 49ers. Silverman says the
lawsuit led anonymously as Jane Doe,
allows the woman to prosecute the allegations
in court.
On behalf of our client, the victim, we will
prosecute and prove these charges in a court
of law, Silverman said in an email sent to The
Associated Press
Silverman said he would decline further
comment, adding that the documents led in
the case speak for themselves.
Coxs criminal attorney, Harvey Steinberg,
didnt immediately return a message. It was
unclear whether Thomas had retained an
attorney and a number listed for Thomas was
inoperable.
Civil lawsuits have a lower threshold of
proof, as opposed to a beyond a reasonable
doubt standard in criminal proceedings.

assault dies of injuries
A man who was injured in an assault in
Golden Gate Park after the Bay to Breakers
race has died, according to the San Francisco
Medical Examiners Ofce.
Santa Clara resident Stephen Martin, 30,
died Friday after he was taken off life support,
according to a statement posted by his family
to a Facebook page. He had suffered what
doctors called unrecoverable brain damage,
according to the statement.
Martin was assaulted May 20 shortly before
5 p.m. in the Sharon Meadows area of the park
near the Sharon Art Studio and tennis courts,
police said. He was with friends who had

STATE
By Elliot Spagat
SAN DIEGO For years, com-
panies have been chipping away at
workers pensions. Now, two
California cities may help pave the
way for governments to follow suit.
Voters in San Diego and San
Jose, the nations eighth- and 10th-
largest cities, overwhelmingly
approved ballot measures last
week to roll back municipal
retirement benets and not
just for future hires but for
current employees.
From coast to coast, the
pensions of current public
employees have long been
generally considered
untouchable. But now, some
politicians are saying those obli-
gations are trumped by the need
to provide for the publics
health and safety.
The two California cases could
put that argument to the test in a
legal battle that could resonate in
cash-strapped state capitols and city
halls across the country. Lawsuits
have already been filed in both
cities.
Other states are going to have to
pay attention, said Amy Monahan,
a law professor at
University of
Minnesota.
The court battles
are playing out as
lawmakers across
the U.S. grapple
with ballooning
pension obliga-
tions that increas-
ingly threaten
s c h o o l s ,
police, health clinics and other basic
services.
State and local governments may
have $3 trillion in unfunded pension
liabilities, and seven states and six
large cities will be unable to cover
their obligations beyond 2020,
Northwestern University finance
professor Joshua Rauh estimated
last year.
In San Jose, current employees
face salary cuts of up to 16 percent
to fund the citys pension plan. If
they choose, they can instead accept
a lower benet and see the current
retirement age of 55 raised to 57 for
police ofcers and reghters, and
to 62 for other employees.
The voter-approved measure in
San Diego imposes a six-year freeze
on the pay levels used to determine
pension benets for current employ-
ees, a move that is expected to save
nearly $1 billion over 30 years.
Public employee unions have sued
to block the measure, saying City
Hall failed to negotiate the ballots
wording as required by state law.
Legal experts expect the cities to
argue that their obligations to provide
basic services such as police protec-
tion and garbage removal override
promises made to employees.
In San Diego, the citys payments
to its retirement fund soared from
$43 million in 1999 to $231.2 mil-
lion this year, equal to 20 percent of
the operating budget. At the same
time, the 1.3 million residents saw
roads deteriorate and libraries cut
hours. For a while, re stations had
to share engines and trucks. The city
has cut its workforce 14 percent
since 2005.
San Joses pension payments
jumped from $73 million in 2001 to
$245 million this year, or 27 percent
of its operating budget. Four
libraries and a police station that
were built over the past decade have
never even opened because the city
cannot afford to operate them. The
city of 960,000 cut its workforce 27
percent over the past 10 years.
Its a problem that threatens our
ability to remain a city and provide
services to our people, said Mayor
Chuck Reed. Its huge dollar
amounts and has a huge impact on
services.
Unions representing police of-
cers and reghters in San Jose
claimed in lawsuits led last week in
state court that the measure violates
their vested rights.
What theyve done in San Jose is
patently unlawful under existing
court precedent, said Steve
Kreisberg, national collective bar-
gaining director for the American
Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees.
Public-employee pensions face a rollback
Ofcial resigns after stepson abuse video
EL CENTRO A California water agency director has
resigned his elected ofce days after a neighbor posted online
video that shows the ofcial apparently hitting his stepson with
a belt for dropping a baseball during a game of backyard catch.
The neighbor turned in the video to sheriffs investigators last
week, and Anthony Sanchez was arrested on Friday on suspi-
cion of felony child abuse. A newspaper reports that Sanchezs
lawyer said Saturday that Sanchez has quit his post with the
Imperial Irrigation District that oversees water and electricity
supply and distribution in the Imperial and Coachella valleys.
State brief
By Christina Hoag
LOS ANGELES Gov. Jerry Brown
wants to shift the safety net protecting
Californias most vulnerable residents
Pressured by a $16 billion budget decit,
the governor is proposing a major overhaul
of the states welfare-to-work program with
the strategy of slashing peoples benets to
motivate them to get jobs faster.
The move, if approved by the state
Legislature as part of the 2012-13 budget
package, would save $880 million, but
beyond the savings, analysts say it repre-
sents a shift in the philosophy of how the
Golden State helps its neediest residents.
Its a reversal of the states historic
commitment to these families and chil-
dren, said Scott Graves, senior policy
analyst with the California Budget
Project. Its a very signicant change.
California is the national leader in
welfare recipients. About 3.8 percent of
state residents were on welfare in 2010,
the highest percentage in the country. In
fact, California houses about a third of
the nations welfare recipients, while
only housing one-eighth of the national
population.
Most of the recipients, however, are
children more than three-quarters of
the 1.5 million in the welfare-to-work
program CalWORKs, which stands for
California Work Opportunity and
Responsibility to Kids. The rest are
mostly single mothers who must work or
participate in job training and related
activities to receive cash assistance.
The state has traditionally held a rela-
tively generous attitude toward welfare.
For instance, CalWORKs gives cash
grants to children even when their parents
are ineligible for benets for various rea-
sons, such as being illegal immigrants,
receiving disability, or failing to abide by
the programs rules. Only three other
states Indiana, Oregon and Arizona
have such an expansive policy.
California also allows parents to
receive job services and cash grants for
up to four years. Before last year, the
limit was 60 months.
The policies have made the program an
expensive budget line the state spends
$2.9 billion on CalWORKs and related
programs and an easy target for law-
makers looking for costs to trim with little
political fallout. In years past, lawmakers
have proposed doing away with benets to
children with ineligible parents and even
slashing the whole CalWORKs program.
The states budget woes have given
renewed impetus to whittle away at
CalWORKs. Last year, the maximum ve-
year benet period shrunk to four years and
monthly grants were diminished 8 percent.
A family of three currently receives $638 a
month, less than the rate in 1988.
For the next scal year, the governor is
proposing more sweeping cutbacks,
including a 27 percent cut in cash assis-
tance to children with ineligible parents
and further slashing the time limit for full
benets from four years to two years.

Free Paint and Minor Home Repair Program Request for Proposals.
The City of San Mateo is seeking proposals from qualified agencies and licensed
contractors for its Free Paint and Minor Home Repair Programs. Applicants can apply for
either or both programs.
The City of San Mateo provides funding for minor home repairs in the homes of eligible
low-income owners, mostly seniors, with the service conducted by a vendor on retainer
with the City. The selected vendor(s) need not perform all services itself, and may select
other licensed and bonded sub-contractors for certain aspects of service. Typical repairs
include replacing window panes or glazing, floor and wall repair, installation of grab
bars, replacing water heaters, and installation of security devices such as dead bolts and
locks. For the Free Paint Program services include: power washing, and prepping all
surfaces for paint, priming and painting all surfaces as needed.
Each program requires certain levels of documentation and reporting on a quarterly and
annual basis. Reporting is done quarterly and annually. All reporting and application
requirements can be flexibly tailored in consultation with the desired vendor. General
Liability, Auto, Workmans Comp, and an additionally insured endorsement are required
as is being RRP Certified. The ideal vendor must demonstrate a history of exemplary
customer service and quality repairs. Upon selection, the vendor(s) will execute a one (1)
year contract with a second year extension clause with the City of San Mateo.
Organizations unfamiliar with these programs are encouraged to contact Chris Wahl,
Program Manager, to discuss program goals, customers served, and how such a program
may be designed and administered to meet your business objectives.
Deadline for consideration of your interest in providing this much needed service for San
Mateo residents is no later than 10:00 AM, Tuesday, June 26, 2012.

WASHINGTON It sounds
like a silver lining. Even if the
Supreme Court overturns President
Barack Obamas health care law,
employers can keep offering popu-
lar coverage for the young adult
children of their workers.
But heres the catch: The parents
taxes would go up.
Thats only one of the messy
potential ripple effects when the
Supreme Court delivers its verdict
on the Affordable Care Act this
month. The law affects most major
components of the U.S. health care
system in its effort to extend cover-
age to millions of uninsured people.
Because the legislation is so com-
plicated, an orderly unwinding
would prove difcult if it were over-
turned entirely
or in part.
B e t t e r
Medicare pre-
scription bene-
fits, currently
saving hundreds
of dollars for
older people
with high drug
costs, would be
suspended. Ditto for preventive care
with no co-payments, now available
to retirees and working families
alike.
Partially overturning the law
could leave hospitals, insurers and
other service providers on the hook
for tax increases and spending cuts
without the laws promise of more
paying customers to offset losses.
If the law is upheld, other kinds of
complications could result.
The nation is so divided that
states led by Republicans are large-
ly unprepared to carry out critical
requirements such as creating insur-
ance markets. Things may not settle
down.
At the end of the day, I dont
think any of the major players in the
health insurance industry or the
provider community really wants to
see the whole thing overturned,
said Christine Ferguson, a health
policy expert who was commission-
er of public health in Massachusetts
when Mitt Romney was governor.
Even though this is not the most
ideal solution, at least it is moving
us forward, and it does infuse some
money into the system for cover-
age, said Ferguson, now at George
Washington University. As the GOP
presidential candidate, Romney has
pledged to wipe Obamas law off
the books. But he defends his
Massachusetts law that served as a
prototype for Obamas.
While its unclear how the jus-
tices will rule, oral arguments did
not go well for the Obama adminis-
tration. The central issue is whether
the government can require individ-
uals to have health insurance and
ne them if they dont.
That mandate takes effect in
2014, at the same time that the law
would prohibit insurance companies
from denying coverage to people
with existing health problems. Most
experts say the coverage guarantee
would balloon costs unless virtually
all people joined the insurance pool.
Opponents say Congress over-
stepped its constitutional authority
by issuing the insurance mandate.
The administration says the require-
ment is permissible because it
serves to regulate interstate com-
merce. Most people already are
insured. The law provides subsidies
to help uninsured middle-class
households pay premiums and
expands Medicaid to pick up more
low-income people.
The coverage for young adults up
to age 26 on a parents health insur-
ance is a popular provision that no
ones arguing about. A report last
week from the Commonwealth
Fund estimated that 6.6 million
young adults have taken advantage
of the benet, while a new Gallup
survey showed the uninsured rate
for people age 18-25 continues to
decline, down to 23 percent from 28
percent when the law took effect.
Undoing health law could get messy
NEW YORK The abuse went on for
nearly three years before the schoolgirl told
anyone that her spiritual adviser was molest-
ing her while he was supposed to be mentor-
ing her about her religion, authorities said.
But in Brooklyns ultra-orthodox Jewish
community, 53-year-old Nechemya
Weberman has been embraced and defended
as wrongly accused. The girl has been called a
slut and a troublemaker, her family threatened
and spat at on the street.
The rallying around Weberman, who goes
on trial this month, and ostracizing of his
accuser and her family reflects long-held
beliefs in this insular community that prob-
lems should be dealt with from within and that
elders have far more authority than the young.
It also brought to light allegations that the dis-
trict attorney was too cozy with powerful rab-
bis, a charge he vehemently denies.
There are other people that claim miscon-
duct and they cant come out because theyre
going to be re-victimized and ostracized by the
community, said Judy Genut, a friend of the
accusers family who counsels troubled girls.
Brooklyn is home to about 250,000 ultra-
orthodox Jews, the largest community outside
of Israel. Step onto a Williamsburg street and
tall guys in skinny jeans and tattoos are min-
gling with a ush of men in dark coats and
hats carrying prayer books and speaking
Yiddish.

pastor Creo Dollar staunchly denied Sunday
that he punched and choked his 15-year-old
daughter in an argument, telling his congrega-
tion the allegations made in a police report are
nothing but exaggeration and sensational-
ism.
I will say this emphatically: I should have
never been arrested, Dollar said in his rst
public appearance two days after police
charged him with misdemeanor counts of
simple battery and cruelty to children.
The pastor got an enthusiastic ovation from
the packed church as he took the pulpit
Sunday at the World Changers Church
International in metro Atlanta. He addressed
the criminal charges head-on for several min-
utes before moving on to his sermon.
I want you all to hear personally from me
that all is well in the Dollar household,
Dollar said.
The 50-year-old Dollar is one of the most
prominent African-American preachers based
around Atlanta, with 30,000 members in the
Atlanta area and a ministry of satellite church-
es across the U.S.
He was arrested after his 15-year-old
daughter called 911 at about 1 a.m. Friday and
told a Fayette County sheriffs deputy that she
and her father argued when he said she could-
nt go to a party.
A police report says the girl told a deputy
her father charged at her, put his hands around
her throat, began to punch her and started hit-
ting her with his shoe. The deputy noted a
scratch on her neck.

WORLD 8
MADRID Spains grinding
economic misery will get worse this
year, despite the countrys request for
a European nancial lifeline of up to
(euro) 100 billion ($125 billion) to
save its banks, Prime Minister
Mariano Rajoy said Sunday.
A day after the country conceded it
needed outside help following
months of denying it would seek
assistance, Rajoy said more
Spaniards will lose their jobs in a
country where one out of every four
are already unemployed.
This year is going to be a bad
one, Rajoy said Sunday in his rst
comments about the rescue since it
was announced the previous evening
by his economy minister.
The conservative prime minister
added that the economy, stuck in
its second recession in three years,
will still contract the previously
predicted 1.7 percent in 2012 even
with the help.
Spain on Saturday became the
fourth and largest of the 17
countries that use Europes common
currency to request a bailout. This is
a big blow to a nation that a few years
ago took pride as the continents eco-
nomic superstar only to see it become
the hot spot in the eurozone debt cri-
sis. Its economy is the eurozones
fourth largest after Germany, France
and Italy.
Although Spain has not yet said
how much money it would seek, the
Eurogroup nance ministers of
the 17-country eurozone, of which
Spain is a member said in a state-
ment Saturday that it was prepared to
lend up to (euro) 100 billion. The
funds, which will come from one of
three pools of emergency nancing
eurozone countries can access, will
be sent to the Spanish governments
Fund for Orderly Bank Restructuring
(FROB), which would then use the
money to strengthen the countrys
teetering banks.
Across the country, Spaniards
reacted with a mixture of anger and
relief to the news. The full amount of
the eurogroups lifeline amounts to
(euro) 21,000 of new debt for each
person almost equal to the average
salary in a country of 47 million
where the unemployment rate for
those under age 25 is 52 percent.
The country is already reeling from
deep austerity cuts Rajoy has
imposed over the last six months that
have raised taxes, made it easier to
hire and re workers, and cut deep
into cherished government programs,
including education and national
health care.
Its obviously a shame, said civil
servant Luisa Saraguren, 44, as she
strolled on a sunny Sunday morning
with her young daughter. But this
bailout was fully predictable, and the
consequences of this help are going
to be a lot bigger compared to the
cuts weve been living with already.
Spain relieved, angry over bank rescue
Al-Qaida incites Tunisians against ruling party
CAIRO Al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri called on the
Tunisian people to rise up against the countrys Islamist ruling
party for accepting a constitution not based on Islamic Shariah
law, according to a recording released Sunday.
In an audio recording posted on militant forums, al-Zawahri
said the leaders of the Ennahda party, a moderate Islamist
group that formed a new government after October elections,
are violating Islams teachings by accepting a constitution that
does not consider Shariah the sole source for legislation.
Al-Zawahri said Ennahda favors an Islam accepted by the
U.S. State Department, the EU and the sheikdoms of the Gulf,
an Islam that accepts gambling clubs and nude beaches.
It is strange to see a leadership party that claims to be asso-
ciated with moderate Islam and at the same time it says it does
not call for ruling by Islam, he said.
He said that the moderate Islam meant that an Islam which
accepts Muslims to ght alongside the American army in
Afghanistan.
Former U.S. army commander on trial in Germany
BERLIN The former commander of the U.S. Armys
173rd Airborne Brigade went on trial Sunday on suspicion of
fraud, conduct unbetting an ofcer, bigamy and other charges
related to an alleged long-term extra-marital affair he had with
a woman he met in Iraq, while they were both living in Europe.
He pleaded guilty to most of the charges.
Col. James Johnson III, a West Point graduate, is being court
martialed before a panel of ofcers in western German
Kaiserslautern. He was relieved of his command of the
Vicenza, Italy-based 173rd in March 2011, and faces multiple
years in prison and a dishonorable discharge if convicted of all
of the counts against him and given the maximum penalties.
Johnson faces six charges with 27 specications of single
incidents; out of those, six were dismissed at the trials start
Sunday, and Johnson pleaded guilty on 15 of them, according
to Army public affairs ofcer Hilde Patton. He pleaded not
guilty on six specic occurrences, which will therefore be eval-
uated by the court martial. No plea deal was entered, she said.
Johnson, the son of retired Lt. Gen. James H. Johnson Jr.,
who led the Fort Bragg, 82nd Airborne Division during the
1991 Persian Gulf War, was seen as a rising star in the Army
before the charges were levied.
State of emergency declared for western Myanmar
YANGON, Myanmar Myanmars president on Sunday
night declared a state of emergency in a western state where
sectarian tensions between Buddhists and Muslims have
unleashed deadly violence. He warned that if the situation spun
out of control, it could jeopardize the democratic reforms he
has been instituting since taking ofce last year.
It is the rst time Thein Sein has invoked the measure since
becoming president. A state of emergency effectively allows
the military to take over administrative functions for Rakhine
State, a coastal region that borders Bangladesh.
The move follows rioting on Friday in two Rakhine areas
that state media say left at least seven people dead and 17
wounded, and saw hundreds of houses burned down. The
unrest spread on Saturday and Sunday, though order was said
to have been restored in the areas shaken by Fridays violence.
In a nine-minute speech televised nationally, Thein Sein said
that the violence in Rakhine State was fanned by dissatisfac-
tion harbored by different religious and ethnic groups, hatred
and the desire for vengeance.
If this endless anarchic vengeance and deadly acts contin-
ue, there is the danger of them spreading to other parts and
being overwhelmed by subversive inuences, he said.

Negative externalities
on society
Editor,
Republicans are big on de-regulation
and unconstrained industries, claiming
that the less business is controlled, the
better it is. But what about the impact
on the society which includes all of us?
Lets scrutinize the logic. Judging from
past history, it is an indisputable fact
that business and industry rarely are
willing, or even capable, of regulating
their operations and keeping their own
affairs in order. Instead, they tend to
stretch existing laws and regulations to
the max and try to get away with as
limited social responsibility as possible,
which inevitably leads to accidents, air
pollution, water pollution, soil contami-
nation and unhealthy working environ-
ments. This again has a negative impact
on animal and plant life as well as
human health.
Among humans, the young, the
unborn and the elderly are the weakest
and most vulnerable, innocent victims
of irresponsible actions of others out to
maximize their own rewards, with no
regard for the consequences. The quali-
ty of life and overall health of the socie-
ty are thus lowered, but do Republicans
care?
To make matters even worse, the
Republican majority in Congress wast-
ed no time to de-fund Planned
Parenthood, and they have been ghting
tooth and nail to deny the most needy
of medical care even for those that are
victims of social irresponsibility.
Instead, they advocate even less regula-
tion and lowering of quality standards
for water and air, and further reduced
tax rates for those already well off.
The ultimate cruel irony is that babies
born with birth defects due to environ-
mental problems caused by industrial
negligence are denied medical care due
to pre-existing conditions. Talk about
adding insult to injury, and all in the
name of prots at the expense of our
society. Is that really the kind of society
we want? I certainly dont hope so.

The Los Angeles Times
W
hen James Lee Crummel
hanged himself last month,
very few mourned his pass-
ing. A child molester who kidnapped,
sexually abused and murdered a 13-
year-old boy in 1979, Crummel was on
death row in San Quentin when he took
his own life using an extension cord.
Whats notable about this is that he was
the 20th death row inmate to commit
suicide since California reinstated capi-
tal punishment in 1978. Thats seven
more than the number of convicts who
have been executed since then.
This gure says something about the
false promise of capital punishment:
The families of victims may get some
visceral satisfaction when their loved
ones killers are sentenced to death, but
this turns to frustration and bitterness as
decades pass without the sentences
being carried out. Fifty-seven death row
inmates have died of natural causes
since 1978, so such prisoners are
almost six times more likely to expire
by their own or natures hand than by
the executioners.
Proponents and opponents of the
death penalty have very different reac-
tions to such statistics. To proponents,
its an indication that our court system
is hopelessly overprotective of the
rights of criminals and that the appeals
process should be streamlined. Yet this
ignores the moral and legal imperative
to do everything possible to ensure,
before carrying out the ultimate penalty,
that a convict is truly guilty. False con-
victions happen more often than many
realize according to the Death
Penalty Information Center, 140 death
row inmates nationwide have been
exonerated since 1973 while awaiting
execution. Court delays also block
unconstitutional and inhumane execu-
tions; California, for instance, hasnt
executed anyone since 2006 as lawyers
wrangle over the pain experienced by
inmates during lethal injection.
Moreover, even as lengthy and costly
appeals drag on, there is no way to be
100 percent certain of an inmates guilt,
which is why we favor replacing the
death penalty with a sentence of life
without the possibility of parole.
A measure on the November ballot,
the SAFE California Act, would do
exactly that, and we hope voters will
support it. Meanwhile, California pros-
ecutors ... should stop pursuing capital
cases until the voters have had their say.
Theres some evidence that theyre
already slowing down. Last year there
were only 10 death sentences in
California, down from 29 in the previ-
ous two years.
Experts attribute the downturn to
budget cuts, with prosecutors being
reluctant to pursue costly capital cases
as their resources are slashed. Thats a
good reason for shutting down the
machinery of death, but we have a bet-
ter one. Public support for capital pun-
ishment has been plummeting in recent
years, and for reasons of cost, morality
and effectiveness, voters may nally be
willing to pursue a better course. Lets
give them their chance to weigh in
before continuing with a penalty that is
no more protective of society than life
without parole.
Dont seek the death penalty
Can Masur
prevail over
Slocum in
the fall?
E
lection results for the soon to be vacant seat on the
Board of Supervisors had a few surprises. While
Warren Slocum and Shelly Masur were expected to be
among possible nalists, Slocum was way ahead of the rest of
the pack with 39 percent of
the vote. Masur was second
with 21 percent. It was a poor
showing for Latino candidates
who had hoped they could
win the seat held by the only
minority member on the cur-
rent board, termed out Rose
Jacobs-Gibson, who is
African-American. Even a
surprise dual endorsement late
in the campaign by U.S. Rep.
Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo,
for county Board of Education
Trustee Memo Morantes and
East Palo Alto Councilman
Carlos Romero did not give
either enough of a boost. Romero received 9 percent and
Morantes 8 percent, coming in fourth and fth respectively. In
third place, was Menlo Park Mayor Kristen Keith with 15 per-
cent of the vote.
Now that the campaign changes from a seven-person to a
two-person race, there will be about 40 percent of the votes up
for grabs people who did not support either Slocum or
Masur. Right now, its anybodys guess which candidate will get
enough of those votes to prevail in the November runoff. Masur
has a steeper road to climb but she may have several factors in
her favor.
***
Slocums biggest advantage may also be his biggest liability.
He has name recognition because he served two dozen years in
county government as the assistant and then the chief elections
ofcer and assessor-county clerk-recorder, retiring in 2010. The
board already includes a retired county executive, namely the
former sheriff, Don Horsley. Some may question whether it is
good government practice to have former department heads
now in charge of policy as county supervisors. Maybe one is
OK. But two on a ve-member board may be one too many. If
you have been there for two dozen years you think you know
all the answers, perhaps much more than your colleagues or the
county manager. That can be very irritating to colleagues and
staff. Horsley has managed the transition well. But it will be a
bigger challenge for Slocum if he wins the seat. Some also ask
isnt 24 years enough? Isnt it time for some new younger faces
on the board? On the other hand, Slocums experience could be
a valuable asset as the county battles hard times.
When Horsley ran for supervisor, he promised that if he was
elected he would not take his supervisors salary (full-time pay)
since he was already receiving an adequate county pension
from his days as sheriff. To date, Slocum has not indicated if he
will give up either salary or pension if elected. The issue of
retiree pensions is a contentious issue for all municipalities as
they face stiff budget cuts.

In the primary, Masur received the backing of the San Mateo
Labor Council while Slocum received an open endorsement.
That leaves the door open for individual unions to support him
if they choose. If labor support is split between the two, it will
be a big asset for Slocum. If most of labor sticks with Masur, it
should help increase her numbers. Former assemblyman Gene
Mullin backed Morantes in the primary. As a former educator,
he might now lean toward Masur, a Redwood City Elementary
School Board trustee. His son, Kevin Mullin, candidate for the
state Assembly, stayed out of the primary but since he faces
token opposition in the fall he may decide to get involved either
openly or behind the scenes. He has worked with Slocum when
Slocum headed Peninsula TV. Kevin Mullin hosted a program
on the station. But Kevin Mullin represents the young wing of
the Democratic party as does Masur, (she is 47; Warren is 64)
so there may be a personal connection there.
Then there is Kirsten Keith. She took a strong third place n-
ish. She is savvy and energetic and will be a major player in the
future. My guess is that many of her supporters will now go to
Masur. Slocum nanced his campaign with a $102,663 loan.
Meanwhile, Masur did not use her own money to fund her pri-
mary race. Thats a good omen for the November election.
***
That being said, if Slocum can keep the votes he had in the
primary and can add a little more than 10 percent of new sup-
porters, he will be the next supervisor. Stay tuned.

N
ew York Mayor Michael
Bloomberg, who succeeded in
outlawing trans fats in French
fries and other New York restaurant
food, and forced chain eateries to list
calories on menus, has taken aim at
super-sized sugary sodas.
The Board of Health is expected to
approve the ban, which could take
effect as early as March.
The ban would apply only to sweet-
ened drinks over 16 ounces that contain
more than 25 calories per 8 ounces
that would cover most regular sodas.
It wouldnt affect diet soda, any drink
thats at least 70 percent juice or one
that is at least half milk or milk substi-
tute. Starbucks Frappuccinos would
probably be exempted because of their
dairy content, and Slurpees and Big
Gulps at 7-Eleven would still be OK
because those stores are regulated like
grocery stores.
How does the mayor justify this
intrusion into personal freedom?
The City Health Commissioner esti-
mates obesity-related illnesses in New
York City cost $4 billion a year. More
and more scientists are seeing sugar as
a dangerous, addictive substance, and
soft drinks as the biggest single source
of added sugar in the American diet.
Bloomberg admits people will still be
free to order more than one drink, but
thinks limiting servings to 16 ounces at
restaurants, delis, sports arenas and
movie theaters would help.
Should consumers be able to make
good decisions about their health? Yes.
Do they? For the most part, the evi-
dence shows, the answer is no, espe-
cially when corporations have an inter-
est in making sure they dont.
If the big soda ban is put into effect
and proves to work, look for more
intrusion into personal freedom.

BUSINESS 10

WASHINGTON Europe, a thun-
dercloud over nancial markets for three
years, might burst this month into a
downpour, even after a rescue of Spanish
banks. For investors who want to stay
dry, some shelters look sturdier than oth-
ers.
Junk bonds, companies that make con-
sumer products and even some European
stocks could add a healthy shot of prot
to well-designed portfolios, analysts and
traders say.
For the third straight spring, fear about
Europes debt crisis has rattled U.S.
stocks. Spain agreed over the weekend
to accept a bailout of up to $125 billion
for its ailing banks, but investors are still
worried that Greece will exit the euro.
The next date to watch is June 17,
when Greece holds an election. If the
far-left party wins, Greece may spurn the
program of bailouts and steep budget
cuts that has kept it aoat.
Global markets would probably whip
and dive if that happens. But if the worst
fears dont materialize, global markets
will probably see a short-term relief
rally.
The trouble is that nobody knows how
the European crisis will unfold. So
investors need diverse portfolios that
wont crumble if things get ugly or
miss the updraft if Europe simmers
down.
David Kelly, chief global strategist at
JPMorgan Funds, says it makes sense to
tilt your portfolio slightly toward invest-
ments valued in U.S. dollars stocks
and bonds issued by U.S. companies
because U.S. markets are likely to
remain more stable.
In uncertain times, a companys prod-
ucts matter. The more necessary the
product, the better its producer can
weather a typical economic downturn,
says Jerry Webman, chief economist at
OppenheimerFunds, an asset manage-
ment rm.
People are still going to brush their
teeth, even if the economy gets into dif-
culty, Webman says. He likes compa-
nies that make boring yet necessary
products like food, dustpans and dental
oss.
The exception: any company that
depends on exports to Europe for a big
chunk of its revenue. Analysts say
investors should review companies
nancial statements to nd out which
rely heavily on European consumers.
Those are the people who would cut back
on spending if the crisis deteriorated.
People want to be cautious about
anybody whos exporting to Europe, and
look for some opportunities among com-
panies that are exporting to other parts of
the world, Webman says.
For example, cosmetics maker Avon
Products generated 28 percent of its rev-
enue from Europe, the Middle East and
Africa last year. Estee Lauder generated
37 percent of its sales in that region.
That might make Avon a better bet,
experts say, because it appears to be less
dependent on spending by European
consumers. Estee Lauder acknowledged
the threat of European softening in its
latest quarterly nancial report.

NEW YORK Apple CEO Tim
Cook is expected to show off new
iPhone software, updated Mac comput-
ers and provide more details on future
releases of Mac software when he kicks
off the companys annual conference for
software developers on Monday.
The announcement of new software
for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch has
been confirmed by banners that
appeared at the Moscone conference
center in San Francisco on Friday, read-
ing iOS 6. Its not much of a surprise.
Apple has used its Worldwide
Developers Conference as an opportuni-
ty to announce new iPhone software for
the past few years.
Whats not known is what new fea-
tures will come with iOS 6, or when it
will be released to consumers. Usually,
the new software becomes available for
download around the time a new iPhone
model appears. Apple-watchers expect
the next version of the iPhone, the
iPhone 5, to appear this fall, about a year
after the launch of the 4S model.
In 2010, Apple demonstrated the new
iPhone 4 at the WWDC, but analysts
dont expect the company to show off a
phone model this year.
With the launch of iOS 5 last year,
Apple added many features already
found in competing smartphone soft-
ware. It also added the Siri virtual
assistant feature, which interprets voice
commands and talks back to the user.
This year, there are fewer catch up
features to add, so Apple watchers
expect more modest improvements.
Some speculate that Facebook could
become more tightly integrated, in much
the same way that Apple baked Twitter
functions into its software last year. That
could make it easier to post Facebook
status updates from within Apples apps.
On the Mac software side, there are
fewer unknowns. Apple already demon-
strated most of the features of OS X 10.8
Mountain Lion in February and said it
will go on sale late this summer.
Developers are already able to download
a version of the software. It narrows the
gap between the PC and phone software
packages, making Mac personal com-
puters work more like iPhones.
Apple expected to show fresh software, new Macs
NEW YORK When does a smartphone make you dumb?
When youre driving.
Dialing or texting on a phone is a proven distraction when
youre behind the wheel. And as smart as todays phones
are, they cant compensate for human folly. Phone makers and
software developers are making a valiant effort to create ele-
gant technical solutions, but, try as they might, theyve yet to
solve the problem of distracted driving.
A new survey, released by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention last week, exposes just how severe the prob-
lem is especially among young drivers. In the survey, about
58 percent of high school seniors said they had texted or
emailed while driving during the previous month. About 43
percent of high school juniors acknowledged they did the
same thing.
Thirty-nine states ban texting behind the wheel for all age
groups, and an additional ve states outlaw it for novice teen
drivers. Even so, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said
distracted driving is a national epidemic.
The industry doesnt have a surere cure. Theres a bevy of
phone applications (or apps) that silence a phone when they
detect that the device is moving at car speed. Although they
carry names like SecuraFone these solutions all have limi-
tations that prevent them from being widely adopted.
One big shortcoming is that they cant tell drivers from pas-
sengers. Most of the apps assume any phone thats travelling
at more than 10 miles per hour belongs to a driver. Of course,
that phone might belong to someone in the back seat, or on a
bus or train. That means these apps come with easy override
buttons which could also be used by a driver. The app isnt
smart enough to know the difference.
On the plus side, these apps are generally reliable, said
Russ Rader, spokesman for the Insurance Institute of
Highway Safety.

San Mateo Bulldogs manager
Jesse Lehane said on Saturday that
he is expecting contributions from
everyone on his roster this season.
I dont think there is going to be
any one guy, Lehane said. I think
1 through 18 were pretty good. We
can pitch a little bit, we can hit,
were solid in every spot.
And true to form, almost every
single player on the Post 82 had a
hand in Saturdays double-header
win over the Concord Zephyrs.
In Game 1, the Bulldogs over-
came some tough starting pitching
to earn a 5-4 win. And in the after-
noon clip, San Mateo tore the cover
off the baseball and held on to win
10-8.
The rst game, [the pitcher] kept
us off balance pretty good, Lehane
said. It was a tough arm. He threw
two pitches for strikes in any count.
It was tough the rst ve innings we
couldnt scratch out anything. We
just kept battling and battling and
nally we put some ball in play and
hit some balls hard.
The Bulldogs hit a lot of balls
hard in Game 2.
Their rst big hit came in the sec-
ond inning. With one out, Brendan
Simpson singled and stole second
while Manu Langi followed with a
walk. Eric Lau drew another base
on balls an out later and up stepped
Patrick ORegan, who wasted very
little time slashing a ball down the
left eld line that cleared the bases
and gave the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead.
That marker was in direct contrast
to Game 1 where San Mateo had a
hard time guring out Concords
starter.
The Bulldogs remained efcient
in the third frame, scoring two more
runs on four hits. Scott Ota doubled
with one and John Murray drove
him home with a two-out single up
the middle. Hed later cross the
plate on a Langi knock.
Meanwhile, San Mateo starter
Kevin Welsh was in a groove.
He threw his fastball for a
strike, Lehane said of Welsh. He
got ahead of guys, pitched to con-
tact and thats exactly what we
needed. He was very, very, very ef-
cient.
Welsh didnt hit a rough patch
until the fourth inning when
Concord put three runs on board
that were aided by a one-out error.
The Zephyrs followed with back-to-
back doubles and another San
Mateo error in the ineld led to
another run to make it 5-3.
But Welshs teammates had his
back almost immediately, plating
four runs in the bottom part of the
fourth inning.
San Mateo loaded the bases for
free to begin the frame on two walks
and hit batsman. After scoring a run
with a elders choice, Matt Seubert

Ogando pitched three perfect
innings before leaving with a
strained groin after a bunt single,
combining with three relievers com-
bined on a three-hitter and leading
the Texas Rangers past the San
Francisco Giants
5-0 on Sunday.
The AL West-
leading Rangers
tagged Tim
Lincecum (2-7)
and nished 4-6
on their road
trip.
Robbie Ross
(6-0) allowed
only a double to
pinch-hitter Aubrey Huff in the sixth
over four innings. Mike Adams gave
up two hits in a scoreless eighth and
Joe Nathan tossed a hitless ninth.
Josh Hamilton and Ian Kinsler
each drove in two runs to chase
Lincecum after 5 2-3 innings in the
fth straight loss for San Franciscos
shaggy-haired ace. He allowed nine
hits, struck out ve and walked four.
San Franciscos two-time NL Cy
Young Award winner has been errat-
ic all season.
Sunday was no different.
Lincecum labored through a 30-
pitch rst inning walking three
straight with two outs before
striking out the side in the second on
a rare warm, windless day at San
Franciscos waterfront ballpark. In
the third, Elvis Andrus tripled and
scored on Adrian Beltres two-out
double to give Texas a 1-0 lead.
Everything really unraveled for
the Giants in the fourth.
Three straight singles by the
Rangers loaded the bases, the last
coming on a bunt by Ogando that
trickled between Lincecum and third
baseman Pablo Sandoval. Ogando
limped off the eld after the play,
leaving with a right groin strain after
throwing 39 pitches.
Kinsler hit a two-run double to left
to put the Rangers ahead 3-0.

AS VEGAS The outcry
in this gambling city was so
loud Floyd Mayweather Jr.
could have heard it in his jail cell.
On the other side of the world, peo-
ple cried in the streets in Manila,
and the presidential palace issued a
statement praying for the quick
return of their heros strength and
fervor.
Through it all, Manny Pacquiao
was a model of serenity.
I hope youre not dismayed or
discouraged, Pacquiao said. I can
ght. I can still ght.
That much was evident Saturday
night in a ght Pacquiao seemed to
have under control up until the time
the judges scorecards were
announced. He pounded Timothy
Bradley early, landed more punches
and looked a lot like the ghter who
catapulted to
fame on a
r e ma r k a b l e
undefeated run
over the last
seven years.
That hes a
former cham-
pion now is
thanks to some
judging that
was question-
able, if not
b o r d e r l i n e
incompetent.
But boxing has always been a sub-
jective sport, and anything shy of a
knockout is always open to interpre-
tation by the three judges who sit
ringside and score things round by
round.
Pacquiao understands that as well
as anyone, which may account for
his smiles and calm demeanor after-
ward. In his last ght with Juan
Manuel Marquez, he was lucky to
escape with a majority decision that
just as easily could have gone to his
Mexican challenger, and hes been
the beneciary of other close deci-
sions, too.
He was never close to knocking
out Bradley; he was never able to
knock him down. He coasted some
in the late rounds, and left his fate in
the hands of other people some-
thing every fighter is cautioned
never to do.
Its a mistake he vows not to
repeat if the two meet as expected
Nov. 10, in a rematch both say they
want.
That will make me become a
warrior in the next few months,
Pacquiao said, because in the
rematch my feeling is I dont want
to go the whole 12 rounds.
The end of Pacquiaos 15-ght
winning streak was even more star-
tling because most near ringside
didnt see it coming. Almost with-
out exception every writer had
Pacquiao well ahead, while HBOs
resident unofficial judge Harold
Lederman had him winning 11
rounds out of 12. The Associated
Press scored it 117-111 for
Pacquiao.
Punching stats compiled by
Compubox showed Pacquiao land-
ing 253 punches to 159 for Bradley,
and landing more punches in 10 of
the 12 rounds. But boxing statistics
are subjective, too, compiled by two

people counting the punches they believe land
in a ght and this one got so wild at times
it was hard to tell who was hitting whom.
Still, when the split decision was
announced and judges Duane Ford and C.J.
Ross had Bradley winning 115-113, the pro-
Pacquiao crowd booed loudly, and 81-year-
old promoter Bob Arum nearly went apoplec-
tic.
This isnt about a close decision, said
Arum, forgetting for a moment that he pro-
motes both ghters. This is absurd and
ridiculous and everyone involved in boxing
should be ashamed.
It didnt take long for radio talk shows and
people commenting online to take up the
theme. As usual, they said they would never
watch another ght and, as usual, claimed the
ght had to be xed.
It wasnt, of course, because boxing in
Nevada is heavily regulated and there has
never been any indication judges could be
bought off for a big ght. If they got it wrong
and there were some who said they didnt
they got it wrong simply because they
liked what they saw when Bradley switched
styles midway through the ght and started
boxing Pacquiao instead of brawling with
him.
Indeed, almost overlooked in the uproar
was that Bradley fought smart and he fought
gritty. He never gave up despite badly injuring
both feet in the early rounds, and he took the
best Pacquiao had and kept going after him.
Bradley didnt have the power to keep
Pacquiao off him, but he had ring intelligence
and determination and he displayed both
all the way to the nal bell.
Theres three judges out there. What do
you want me to do? Bradley asked. Two of
them felt I won the ght. Thats all that
counts.
Bradley, who came to the postght press
conference in a wheelchair, said he hurt his
left foot in the second round, and told trainer
Joel Diaz in the corner after the round that he
thought it was broken.
He said, What do you want to do? Youre
in the ght of your life. Do you want to
quit? Bradley said. I said, No.
Bradleys manager, Cameron Dunkin, said
Sunday that the ghter tore ligaments in his
left foot and will have an MRI on Monday to
see if any bones are fractured. He said
Bradley also sprained his right ankle in the
fth round, and it was badly swollen.
Its incredible that he fought through it,
the manager said.
Dunkin said Bradley knows his win was
controversial and is determined to prove crit-
ics wrong in the rematch.
He was letting it get to him. Now he real-
izes the judges do their job and he should just
enjoy it, he said. Did Pacquiao ever apolo-
gize to Marquez for any of his results? No.
While the ght set up what will be a lucra-
tive rematch for both ghters, it may also
quiet talk about a ght between Pacquiao and
Mayweather that now seems destined never to
happen. With Mayweather currently serving a
three-month sentence in the Clark County
Detention center where the Pacquiao ght
was not shown and Pacquiao gearing up
for a rematch with Bradley, there are even
more obstacles to the megaght than before.
In the Philippines, meanwhile, fans took the
loss harder than Pacquiao himself. They
booed and yelled Manny was cheated after
watching the ght in public parks and gyms
throughout the country. Some even burst into
tears in disbelief that their hero who is also
a Filipino congressman could lose.
Hes a national and a world hero, said
librarian Gina Tubo. He inspires people and
entertains them away from their troubles, so
this is really shocking to all of us and I wept
because he didnt lose.
He did lose, though, because the judges said
he lost. That happens in boxing, and now
Pacquiao no longer has the welterweight title
he brought into the ring.
The sport can be lled with heartache, but
its made Pacquiao rich and famous, and an
icon in his country. Maybe that was why he
wasnt the one doing the screaming after his
loss.
Thats how we love this boxing, Pacquiao
said. In your heart you know I was winning
the ght. But its OK. Its part of the game.

Seubert would score shortly after on a

Concord added two runs to their tally in the

Luckily for the Bulldogs, they added an

PHOENIX Joe Saunders held
Oakland to one earned run over six
innings and the Arizona
Diamondbacks extended their win-
ning streak to a season-long ve
games with a 4-3 victory over the
Athletics on Sunday.
Chris Young singled twice and
scored both times as Arizona com-
pleted a three-game interleague
sweep of the As. The Diamondbacks
have won seven of eight to climb to
.500 for the rst time since they were
14-14 on May 5.
Aaron Hill singled in two runs and
Jason Kubel had two RBIs in
Arizonas rst sweep since starting
the season with three straight wins
over San Francisco.
Saunders (4-4) scattered seven
hits, struck out ve and walked two.
Travis Blackley (0-2) took the loss.
Blackley, in his third start since
being claimed off waivers from San
Francisco on May 15, gave up three
earned runs and six hits in 4 2-3
innings.
David Hernandez struck out the
side for Arizona in the eighth, then
J.J. Putz tossed a perfect ninth for his
13th save in 16 opportunities.
Arizonas Paul Goldschmidt sin-
gled in the third inning to extend his
career-best hitting streak to 17
games. Kubel drove across runs with
a bases-loaded grounder and a sin-
gle, giving him 12 RBIs in the six-
game homestand.
Oakland made it a one-run game
again in the seventh on a pinch-hit
RBI single by Seth Smith. The As
had runners at rst and third when
Inge grounded out to end the inning.
D-backs win 5th straight with 4-3 victory over As
SEATTLE Andre Ethier awakened from
a recent slump with his fourth career grand
slam to cap a six-run second inning and Chad
Billingsley pitched the Los Angeles Dodgers
past the Seattle Mariners 8-2 on Sunday.
Shut down by six pitchers in Seattles third
no-hitter Friday night, the Dodgers rebounded
to win the nal two games of the interleague
series.
Billingsley (4-4) won his second straight
decision, giving up two hits and a solo homer
to Kyle Seager in seven strong innings. The
right-hander struck out eight and walked
three, the third time in four starts that he has
struck out eight.
He got all the offense he needed on one
swing from Ethier, who had just one hit in his
previous 27 at-bats before smacking a 3-2
fastball from starter Blake Beavan (3-6) into
the right-eld seats with two outs in the sec-
ond.
Ethiers rst grand slam since Aug. 11,
2011, against Colorado increased his National
League-leading RBI total to 52.
After the Mariners threw the 10th combined
no-hitter in major league history Friday night,
the Dodgers didnt stop hitting during the
nal two days of their rst visit to the Pacic
Northwest in a dozen years. Los Angeles
racked up 14 hits in Saturdays 8-3 victory
and added another 11 on Sunday.
The Dodgers big inning began with Bobby
Abreus leadoff double, but Beavan retired
James Loney on a yout and A.J. Ellis on a
popout. Beavans problems started when he
issued a walk to Adam Kennedy on a 3-2
pitch, then left a two-strike pitch over the
middle of the plate to Tony Gwynn Jr., who
lined an RBI single into center.
Dee Gordon followed with a single to score
Kennedy and give the Dodgers a 2-1 lead.
Elian Herrera walked on a 3-1 pitch before
Ethiers grand slam.
The six-run inning matched the Dodgers
largest this season. They also scored six times
in one inning against Colorado on May 13.
Loney and Kennedy each added an RBI sin-
gle in the eighth off reliever Brandon League,
who gave up four straight hits and struggled
after getting two key outs during Fridays no-
hitter.
Abreu doubled twice, raising his batting
average to .326 in 32 games with the Dodgers.
Seagers homer in the rst was his eighth of
the season and his 24th two-out RBI he
leads the American League in that category.

SAN FRANCISCO Rod
Pampling actually used the words
every enjoyable and U.S. Open
in the same sentence.
Then again, it was Sunday before
the toughest test in golf gets under
way at The Olympic Club.
Pampling was among a few dozen
players who took advantage of
abundant sunshine and little stress
at Olympic on the nal day before
the gates open to the second major
championship of the year.
At this stage, on a calm day, it is
enjoyable, Pampling said.
Behind him on the course were
Luke Donald and Keegan Bradley,
who played a match that went to the
18th hole. Donald is No. 1 in the
world and trying to win his rst
major, while Bradley has won 50
percent of the majors he has played
OK, this is only the third major
for the PGA champion, and his rst
U.S. Open.
Donald nally pulled away by
blasting out of a bunker to 4 feet for
birdie on the 17th, then getting up-
and-down from a far more difcult
spot in the bunker right of the 18th
green. Bradley had a chance to
halve the match, but missed an 8-
foot birdie putt.
Also on the course was Graeme
McDowell, who won the last time
this U.S. Open came to northern
California at Pebble Beach two
years ago.
The Olympic Club is hosting the
U.S. Open for the fth time, and it
has delivered one surprise after
another Jack Fleck rallying to
catch Ben Hogan and beating him in
a playoff; Arnold Palmer losing a
seven-shot lead on the back nine
and falling to Billy Casper in a play-
off; Scott Simpson running off three
straight birdies late in the final
round to beat Tom Watson; and Lee
Janzen rallying from five shots
behind to beat Payne Stewart.
From what some of the players
have seen, there might not be any
surprises on the golf course.
They expect it to be hard.
Its a typical U.S. Open small
greens, tight fairways, Hunter
Mahan said. Youre going to have
to put the ball in play. You cant just
hit it anywhere and score. This is
going to be more about where your
misses are than where your good
shots are.
One difference between Olympic
now and in 1998, the last year it
held the U.S. Open, is the par.
The 520-yard opening hole is now
a par 4, while the 522-yard 17th
hole has been converted to a par 5.
The low score still wins, though this
change could creep into a players
psyche. The change makes the
opening six holes one of the tough-
est stretches anywhere in golf.
Whats unique about this year is
that youve got the rst six holes
that are beyond brutal, USGA
executive director Mike Davis said.
Theyre going to walk to the sev-
enth tee and be 2 or 3 over and
think, Ive got to catch up, when in
reality, they dont.
Donald played them a couple over
par on Sunday, which might actual-
ly be par for the course.
That start of this golf course ...
you could be 5 over in ve holes
and not be that far off, Kevin
Chappell said.
The nish can be on the softer
side.
The players dont see a par 5 until
No. 16, and its the longest hole
(670 yards) in U.S. Open history. It
is followed by another par 5 that can
be reached in two, and then ends
with a 344-yard 18th with a fairway
that looks not much wider than a
country road in Ireland. Even so,
players could hit wedges into the
green on the last ve holes depend-
ing on the pin placements and con-
ditions.
Its not the most intimidating
U.S. Open nish ever, McDowell
said.
Id give my left arm for a one-
shot lead playing the 17th. Youd
fancy your chances. Its not like try-
ing to close it out at Oakmont or
Winged Foot, where youre really
trying to get the job done.
A quiet day before U.S. Open storm
SPORTS 14
By Tim Reynolds
MIAMI Several weeks before
this season even started, LeBron
James and Kevin Durant were com-
peting against each other.
Hell Week, they called it, a four-day
series of grueling workouts.
Starting Tuesday, theyll meet
again. Theyll call that the NBA nals.
Neither was playing at the level
they are now when James invited
Durant to work out with him during
the NBA lockout in his hometown
of Akron, Ohio. Now as James tries
to win his rst ring, ttingly, its
Durant in his way.
Its only right. Its only right,
James said. We look forward to the
challenge. Its going to be a big test
for us.
James played at a rarely seen level
in the Eastern Conference nals
against the Boston Celtics. According
to STATS LLC, James became the
rst player since Shaquille ONeal in
the 2000 nals to have six 30-point
games in a playoff series. In the one
contest where
James didnt
score 30, he n-
ished with 29 in
Game 4, fouling
out in overtime.
His series aver-
ages against the
Celtics: 33.6
points and 11
rebounds per
game on 53 percent shooting. He had
ve games with at least 30 points and
10 rebounds in the entire regular sea-
son then did it ve times in the
series against Boston alone.
He was absolutely brilliant this
series, and we all know it, Heat coach
Erik Spoelstra said. Hes playing at
an historic level during the playoffs,
driving us with his will. We do not
take his talent or his will or his com-
petitiveness for granted. And we need
every single bit of it. He is pushing
himself beyond his limits, and hes
pushing the rest of the team as well.
Said Heat guard Dwyane Wade:
Hes amazing.
There were many moments for the
Heat to celebrate on Saturday night,
when they punched their ticket back to
the NBA nals by ousting Boston
101-88 in Game 7.
Heat owner Micky Arison couldnt
have gotten his hands off the East tro-
phy fast enough, since that isnt the
one he wants anyway. James felt the
same way. The Heat star left the
oor in a cap and T-shirt, one arm
raised in joy.
Behind him, the celebration con-
tinued. By then, he was already
thinking about whats next.
I really thought he in particular
played a very smart, aggressive
game, Celtics coach Doc Rivers
said. He kind of let the game come
to him, and then down the stretch he
took the game over. Thats what
great players do.
They dont do it alone, though.
Criticized last season for deferring
too often in crucial situations, James
went into the offseason driven by the
pain of failing in the NBA nals.
And even during the lockout, he did
anything he could to improve
two-a-day workouts, studying with
Hakeem Olajuwon, yoga, boxing,
beach sprints, even asking Durant to
come to Akron for a few days for
some training.
In those sessions, they pushed
each other to the limit.
Me and KD, man, just tryin to
get better, James said in a video of
one workout posted online.
And look at them now, two super-
stars set to ght for one ring.
I envisioned it every day we
worked out, James said. I under-
stood what his passion was. I under-
stood what his drive was.
They both understood the other
perfectly.
James and the Heat lost to Dallas
in last seasons nals. Durant and
the Thunder lost to Dallas in last
seasons Western Conference nals.
This probably couldnt have been
scripted any better. Maybe the two
best players in the world, scarred by
similar disappointment, trying to
make the other better.
And when the nal series of the
season begins Tuesday night in
Oklahoma City, theyll each have a
close-up view of how far the other
has come.
Its going to be a battle, Durant
said.
The Heat and Thunder split two
games during the regular season,
both winning at home. Durant
scored the most points in the NBA
this season at 1,850, James was sec-
ond with 1,683. James won the
MVP award, Durant nished second
in that balloting. And in these nals,
one will nish rst again, the other
will nish second again.
Its not about Kevin and
LeBron, Thunder coach Scott
Brooks said. Its not about any
other thing other than playing good
basketball against a very good team.
... Individually, theyre the best play-
ers in the league.
They have many ways that they
score and many ways that they help
their team win. They make winning
basketball plays, theyre both defen-
sively very good, they both get
rebounds, they both pass. But its
always about the Thunder against the
Heat.
Heat find way back to finals
By Jeff Latzke
OKLAHOMA CITY When
the Oklahoma City Thunder signed
ve-time champion Derek Fisher
late in the season, they added a vet-
eran guard with oodles more NBA
nals experience than the rest of the
roster he was joining.
Whether Fisher can prepare his
Thunder teammates for what theyre
about to face is another matter.
While the Miami Heat are return-
ing to the nals for the second
straight season, itll be an eye-open-
ing, rst-time experience for most of
Oklahoma Citys youthful players.
Only Fisher,
starting center
K e n d r i c k
Perkins and
backup Nazr
Mo h a m m e d
have ever made
it this far all
winning titles
with other
teams.
But for all the leadership Fisher has
provided since joining the Thunder in
late March, he doesnt plan any lec-
tures for the teams younger set that
includes three-time scoring champi-
on Kevin Durant and All-Star point
guard Russell Westbrook.
With my experience, Ive found it
better to on some level allow guys to
experience things for themselves in
its natural state, Fisher said. You
cant always tell someone what they
should feel or what they should be
thinking as they get ready to go into
what may be the biggest moment of
their life or their career.
I think its important to allow peo-
ple to be who they are and experience
it the way they naturally would.
The nals are sure to disrupt some
parts of the Thunders routine. Their
practices will be uprooted from their
brand new training facility on the
north side of town and instead held
downtown at Chesapeake Energy
Arena, where the Heat will also work
out. Theyll be surrounded by hun-
dreds of additional media members,
and its not uncommon for old friends
and family to come out of the wood-
work at what might not be the most
opportune time.
Those are things that you can con-
trol and basically block out. If they
havent called you in the past couple
months, then dont take their call
now, Fisher warned.
Its better to ask for forgiveness
than permission. Just politely dont
answer or dont respond to the text.
And then in a couple weeks, once
youre done, you can reply back that
you were busy. Thats how you keep
that part under control.
Not so easy for some to handle,
Fisher said, are the heightened emo-
tions that come with playing for a
championship. It could be anxiety,
tension or excitement. Some players
might not be able to sleep.
The bottom line is on the basket-
ball court everybody feels comfort-
able, said coach Scott Brooks, a
reserve on Houstons 1994 NBA
championship team. Everybody will
have nerves, nervous butteries,
before the game. ... Youre always
nervous before the games until the
tipoff. As a coach, Im the same way.
As a player, I was the same way. But
thats part of it.
As Heat return, Thunder get 1st taste of finals

PITTSFORD, N.Y. Shanshan
Feng set two personal goals this year
on the LPGA Tour. She reached them
both with one memorable round.
Feng won the LPGA
Championship on Sunday to become
the rst Chinese player to win an
LPGA Tour title and a major event,
closing with a 5-under 67 for a two-
stroke victory.
I am so excited right now, Feng
said. I did it! I dont know how to
celebrate. It happened too soon. Im
going to miss my ight tomorrow. I
might just go home. Who knows? I
want to see my parents. Im sure they
want to see me.
More than likely.
The 22-year-old Feng, the only
player from China on the tour, had the
lowest round of the tournament at the
right time and nished at 6-under 282.
Feng, who began the day three
shots behind third-round leader Eun-
Hee Ji, had a bogey-free round to etch
her name in the record books, and her
fourth top 10 of the year moved her to
fth in the world.
For me, I never thought, I must
win. I knew I was three behind (at the
start), so I knew I had a chance, said
Feng, who began playing golf at age
10. I was focusing on very shot. If I
win, I win. If I dont, I dont. It just
worked out.
Stacy Lewis, bidding to win her
third straight stroke-play event on the
LPGA Tour, shot a 70 to tie for sec-
ond with Mika Miyazato, Suzann
Pettersen and third-round leader Eun-
Hee Ji. Miyazato shot 69, Pettersen
70, and Ji 72.
Karrie Webb, who started the day
one shot behind Ji, had a 72 to n-
ish at 3 under. Little-known Gerina
Piller, a star in college at UTEP, and
Ai Miyazato each shot 68 to also
nish at 3 under.
Paula Creamer had a 71, and
Giulia Sergas and Inbee Park shot 72
to nish another shot back.
Defending champion Yani Tseng
had a closing 76 and was 13 over in
a tournament she won a year ago by
10 shots.
Feng joined a growing list players
who have broken through for their
rst career victory at the LPGA
Championship. Anna Nordqvist in
2008 and Tseng in 2009 were the
last two of the seven who have
accomplished the feat.
You knew it was coming at some
point. Im surprised she hasnt won
out here, Lewis said. She went out
and won it. The goal was to go post
a low number. Thats what every-
body was trying to do.
Over the rst three days, Ji and
Webb had notched the lowest score
68 on the Locust Hill Country
Club course, its narrow fairways and
long, thick rough providing a chal-
lenge worthy of a major.
Tseng last year and Cristie Kerr
in 2010 won this tournament with
19-under scores, Kerr by a record
12 shots and Tseng by 10. With dif-
cult conditions over the rst three
days, nobody was able to break
away, and only 13 players began
the day under par.
But under a blue sky with only the
hint of a breeze, a breakthrough by
somebody seemed likely. That it
ended up being the only player from
China with an LPGA card and no
career wins didnt seem likely.
Obviously, it means a lot for me
because this is my fth year on the
tour, Feng said. I was sad and I
was even thinking, Can I win
again? I won twice on the Japanese
tour last year and it helped a lot. It
helped me to have condence again.
Now, I know I can win again.
Feng made ve birdies without a
bogey, hitting 11 of 14 fairways and
reaching 16 greens in regulation.
She even laughed with her caddie
after barely missing a birdie putt at
No. 16, probably because she didnt
know she was nursing a one-shot
lead over Mika Miyazato.
I wasnt looking at the score-
board, Feng said. I was on 18th
green and I looked at the board and
I was leading. I couldnt believe it.
Feng didnt allow an errant drive
into a fairway bunker at the par-5
17th hole get her down. She hit her
third shot 12 feet from the pin and
made birdie for a two-shot lead that
nobody challenged. She closed with
a par, hitting her drive right down
the middle of the fairway on one of
the most difcult scoring holes on
the course.
Unfazed when her second shot
found rough at the edge of the green,
she chipped inside 2 feet and made
par to secure the victory.
There was nobody with us before
16, Feng said. Then on 17 at least
10 media people were around us.
OK, maybe I have a chance to win.
After I chipped (at 18), I looked at
the board, so I knew I was leading.
The 26-year-old Ji is no stranger to
Locust Hill, having captured her rst
career LPGA Tour victory here in the
2008 Wegmans LPGA, when the
Rochester stop was a regular tour
event.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
SAN JOSE Danny Sandbrink
has never been renowned as a
strikeout pitcher.
Entering into play Saturday, the
San Jose Giants starter had fanned
just eight batters in 19 innings of
work. Even over his four-year college
career at Stanford, he totaled a mere
123 strikeouts in 196 innings pitched.
Not exactly Nolan Ryan-type
numbers. However, in San Joses 4-3
win over Stockton at Municipal
Stadium, Sandbrink was a strikeout
king. Through ve innings Saturday,
the right-hander set down 10 by way
of the K, notching a season-high for
any San Jose pitcher this season.
Usually I just try to throw
sinkers down in the zone and try to
pitch to contact and try to get
groundballs, Sandbrink said. Ive
never really tried to overpower any-
body or get strikeouts like that.
Ultimately, Sandbrink took a no-
decision in the contest. While the
Giants offense overcame
Sandbrinks rough start in the rst
inning, he surrendered two runs by
way of a hit and three walks the
pitchers strong nish set the stage
for a San Jose comeback. Sandbrink
retired 12 of the last 13 batters he
faced, the only hit being a third-
inning solo home run by Stockton
cleanup hitter A.J. Kirby-Jones.
I think he did a nice job speeding
guys up and slowing them down,
San Jose manager Andy Skeels said.
You throw the ball over the plate
enough times, and you change
speeds, youre going to get a few
strikeouts here and there.
Stanford grad
The Giants selected Sandbrink in
the 42nd round out of Stanford in
2011. A year later, with the draft
being shortened from 50 rounds to
40, the right-hander would have
gone undrafted. As it is, he is proving
to be an unlikely late-round standout.
An early sign last season,
Sandbrink pitched in 15 games at
short-season Arizona, posting a 1-0
record with a 2.53 ERA. This season,
since his rst start on June 4, he is
making a case to remain in the strug-
gling San Jose rotation. The Giants
have used nine different starting
pitchers this season.
Entering into play Saturday, San
Jose was mired in one of its worst
losing stretches in modern history.
With a June 6 win at Lancaster, the
Giants snapped a 10-game losing
streak their worst since 2000
and went on to drop 12 of 13.
Heading into a three-game series
with Stockton, Sandbrink tried to
nd solace on TV. With his alma
mater Stanford starting Super
Regional play at Florida State on
Friday, Sandbrink headed to the San
Jose locker room after batting prac-
tice to tune in to Game 1.
He only got to watch the rst half
of the game, but it was long enough
to see his former Cardinal staff-mate
Mark Appel come undone in what
turned into a 17-1 thrashing at the
hands of Florida State.
That was really surprising,
because I know hes really been
lights out this year, Sandbrink
said. Its not like he really got hit
hard, it looked like. He was just
missing some spots a little bit, and
couldnt really nd the zone.
St. Louis native
As a native of St. Louis, Sandbrink
is now under the guidance of a for-
mer Cardinals pitcher for whom he
grew up rooting San Jose pitching
coach Steve Kline.
He tells me some stories about his
days with the Cardinals, about play-
ing for Tony La Russa, Sandbrink
said. I was a huge Cardinals fan
growing up, and still am to a certain
degree. Its kind of cool listening to
him tell stories about some of the
teams back in the day that I grew up
rooting for.
As a senior at Priory High School,
Sandbrink witnessed the Cardinals
2006 World Series championship
before moving to the Bay Area to
attend Stanford in 2007. Prior to that,
he watched the Cards get knocked
out of the postseason ve times in six
years, including the team that fell to
San Francisco in the 2002 National
League Championship Series.
Game 5 of the 2002 NLCS is
famed among Bay Area baseball fans
for the thrilling walk-off single by
Kenny Lofton that saw David Bell
go sliding headlong across home
plate with the game-winning run to
send the Giants to the World Series.
It was Kline who surrendered that
hit, in relief of losing pitcher Matt
Morris. Along with catcher Mike
Matheny, all three Cardinals battery
mates in that game would go on to
play for the Giants. And, the Cards
shortstop that day, Edgar Renteria,
would become a postseason hero
with the Giants by earning 2010
World Series MVP honors.
Saturdays comeback
Sandbrinks rough rst inning on
Saturday followed a brief delay at
the games outset. With San Jose
hosting little league night, over 700
players from Fearless Baseball and
St. Lucys School were at the game.
Following a pregame on-eld cere-
mony, it took several minutes to
usher the little league players off the
eld, causing a ve-minute delay
after Sandbrink completed his warm-
up pitches.
San Joses left-handed hitters
fueled a comeback, though. With
Stockton throwing a southpaw in
Jacob Brown, it was a daring move
by Skeels to stack three lefties in the
top four spots of the Giants batting
order. The move paid off. San Jose
had previously seen Brown twice
this season. The third time was a
charm for San Joses sluggers.
No. 2 hitter Joe Panik answered
back in the bottom of the rst inning
with a solo shot to close the decit
to 2-1. Then, cleanup hitter Ricky
Oropesa busted out, going 4 for 4,
including the eventual game-win-
ning solo bomb in the sixth inning
to give San Jose a 4-3 lead.
These guys have been swinging
the bat well, Skeels said. Panik
has really been swinging the bat
well, and so has Oropesa ... What
you look for is matchups against
certain guys, and I felt like that was
going to be our best shot
[Saturday].
Following a 5-3 loss to Stockton
in yesterdays series nale, San Jose
is now 34-30 tied for the second
best record in the California League
trailing rst-place Bakerseld by
three games in the North Division
standings. Sandbrinks 10-strikeout
performance improves on San
Joses previous season-high of
seven, reached on two occasions by
Taylor Rodgers and Jake Snodgrass,
respectively.

PARIS His big lead over Novak
Djokovic in Sundays drenched French Open
nal slipping away, Rafael Nadal tossed a
soaked, clay-smeared tennis ball toward the
chair umpire.
A drizzle was now a downpour, making the
balls heavy, the clay court slippery and chang-
ing the complexion of a match with so much
at stake: Djokovics bid to become the rst
man in 43 years to win four consecutive
Grand Slam titles, and Nadals attempt to
become the rst man to win seven titles at the
tournament.
Moments later, play was suspended with
the No. 2-seeded Nadal trying to protect a 6-
4, 6-3, 2-6, 1-2 lead over a surging Djokovic,
whos seeded No. 1. A tarp was pulled over
the court, and after another hour or so, the
decision was made to stop for the day and
resume Monday.
Yes, this French Open already has made
history, but not for a reason that was expect-
ed: Its the rst time since 1973 that the tour-
nament at Roland Garros didnt conclude on a
Sunday.
This sort of thing is becoming a regular
occurrence at tennis top tournaments: The
U.S. Open mens nal has been postponed
from Sunday to Monday each of the past four
years because of rain. Unlike at Wimbledon
and the Australian Open, neither the French
Open nor U.S. Open has an indoor court avail-
able for tournament play; there is a plan to
have a retractable roof in Paris ve years from
now.
Nadal and Djokovic were scheduled to
resume at 1 p.m. local time (7 a.m. EDT) on
Monday, when the forecast calls for intermit-
tent rain. NBC, which aired Sundays action,
said Mondays U.S. TV coverage will shift to
NBC Sports Network, a cable channel in
about 35 million fewer homes than the broad-
cast network.
Toni Nadal, Rafaels uncle and coach, said
he thought action should have been suspend-
ed earlier Sunday because he court was too
wet.
After the Nadals left the premises for the
evening, Djokovic followed, pausing to chat
with Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol
in the players lounge. Not surprisingly,
Djokovics mood was considerably better
than it was during the second set, when he
was unable to counter Nadals clay-court bril-
liance.
Already down a set and serving at 3-3, 30-
15 in the second, Djokovic sailed two fore-
hands long to hand a break point to Nadal,
who converted by ending an 18-shot exchange
with a forehand winner down the line.
Djokovic lowered his head, shook it, and
slapped his thigh. Arriving at the changeover,
he cranked his racket and whacked his green
sideline bench, sending a chunk of the furni-
ture ying; a ballkid ran out on court to gath-
er the debris.
The impact was as loud as a metal door
slamming shut, and spectators jeered and
whistled, a derisive reaction that grew louder
when Djokovic walked back out on court for
the next game.
A game later, with Nadal ahead 5-3, the
matchs rst rain delay arrived. When play
resumed about 35 minutes later with a
fully intact replacement bench for Djokovic
Nadal quickly wrapped up the second set
by breaking with a full-sprint, cross-court
backhand passing winner, then charged to a 2-
0 lead in the third.
That made Nadal 20 for 20 in sets over the
tournaments two weeks, and the title
appeared near. But Djokovic is not the type to
go quietly. This is a guy, dont forget, who
saved two match points against 16-time major
champion Roger Federer in last years U.S.
Open seminals, then saved four more against
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarternals in
Paris.
Rain stops Nadal, Djokovic in French Open final
By Eddie Pells
PARIS On the days when her
doctors argued over what was
wrong and her right shoulder
barked each time she reared back
to serve, Maria Sharapova used to
ask herself a question.
When is this going to end?
One thing she never questioned
was how much she loved tennis.
A three-year comeback that
began from the depths of a hard-
to-diagnose shoulder injury
reached a high point Saturday,
when Sharapova walked out of
Roland Garros as the French Open
champion.
She completed the career Grand
Slam with a 6-
3, 6-2 victory
over Sara
Errani and
picked up the
last piece of
that puzzle on
the red clay, the
surface she
once said made
her feel like a
cow on ice.
This, she said, plus the No. 1
ranking she picked up this week,
are the ultimate rewards for fight-
ing through 10 months of rehab,
for setting aside the doubts, for
finally finding a plan that worked
after so many didnt. For sticking
with the sport shes been playing
for almost as long as she could
walk.
I love my work. I love playing
tennis, Sharapova said. Ive had
so many outs and I could have
said, I dont need this. I have
money; I have fame; I have victo-
ries; I have Grand Slams. But
when your love for something is
bigger than all those things, you
continue to keep getting up in the
morning when its freezing out-
side, when you know that it can be
the most difficult day, when noth-
ing is working, when you feel like
the belief sometimes isnt there
from the outside world, and you
seem so small.
That, to sum up, is how
Sharapova stayed motivated even
during the darkest days, when
some people were telling her she
didnt need surgery and others
were telling her she did, and when
the truest answers she found were
not from doctors or trainers, but
from the sharp, stabbing pain she
felt every time she reached her
shoulder above her head.
People were saying I had
inflammation, which was really
frustrating because I knew there
was something more to it, she
said. Then after that, it wasnt
getting better as soon as everyone
thought it would. That was the
frustrating thing because it was
like, when is this going to end?
A successful operation to fix the
tears in her shoulder finally did do
the trick, along with the long days
of training and rehab.
She slowly climbed from the
depths of the rankings from as
low as 126the to No. 1, which is
where shell be when the new list
comes out Monday. It will be her
first turn at the top spot since June
2008.
I remember when I met her
when she was 13, she always told
me she wanted to be No. 1, Billie
Jean King said. First, she said, I
want to be a star, and I said,
Whoa, what does that mean?
Does that mean you want to make
lots of money? No, no, no, she
said, I want to be No. 1. Thats
what a star is. She was emphatic
about being No. 1.

Watching the New Jersey Devils
attempt to become the rst team in
seven decades to come back from a
3-0 decit in the Stanley Cup nal
is causing Glenn Chico Resch to
have ashbacks.
Before you get too excited: Resch
wasnt a member of the 1942
Toronto Maple Leafs, the only team
in NHL history to win the Stanley
Cup after trailing 3-0. But he knows
about coming back from big decits
in the playoffs, and is seeing it again
in the New Jerseys series with the
Los Angeles Kings.
A former Devils goaltender, who
is now their television analyst,
Resch was a member of the New
York Islanders in 1975, when the
team was involved in two series in
which they trailed by three.
In the rst, the Islanders rallied
from the brink of elimination and
won four straight against the
Pittsburgh Penguins, including a 1-0
win in Game 7 on a goal by Ed
Westfall. Right after that, the team
lost the rst three games to the
defending champion Philadelphia
Flyers, tied the series and then lost
Game 7. Where the Devils attempt
will take them is not known. But it
has been stirring for Resch, as well
as the current team, which will play
Game 6 Monday night at Staples
Center in Los Angeles.
I have been walking with the
Devils in this series, not so much
physically, but psychologically,
Resch said Sunday. This series has
ipped. When you come back from
0-3, which doesnt happen very
often, things have to happen
Devils resurgence brings back memories of 1975
Probes could produce
answers after Sandusky trial
BELLEFONTE, Pa. The trial
of Jerry Sandusky, which will begin
Monday when prosecutors and his
lawyer make opening statements
before a central Pennsylvania jury,
will probably be over in a few
weeks.
But when it comes to getting to
the bottom of what happened, it will
denitely not be the nal word.
Testimony in the child sex abuse
case will focus on the 52 counts and
10 accusers for which the 68-year-
old former Penn State assistant foot-
ball coach could, if convicted, spend
the rest of his life behind the bars of
a state prison.
There are many other questions,
however, being asked in a number of
forums that would have to be
answered for the complete story to
come to light.
First and foremost, the state attor-
ney generals ofce has repeatedly
indicated it has an active and ongo-
ing related investigation, and the
mere existence of the open investi-
gation suggests additional criminal
charges could result.
The university has said its presi-
dent has been in talks with state
prosecutors about when he will
appear before a grand jury to answer
questions, and Penn State disclosed
last month that it would cover legal
expenses of eight employees who
also received subpoenas this year.
Citing a gag order, a spokesman
for the attorney general declined to
comment on the current status of the
investigation, which is also obscured
by the secrecy rules that govern
operation of investigative grand
juries in the state.
There also clearly is a federal
investigation, but there are few
details about it.
Sports brief
DATEBOOK 19
W
ith summer around the corner,
please consider this dog park
etiquette. If your dog is a pup,
avoid parks until he has received all his
shots. And, if youve recently adopted a dog,
dont overwhelm her with a trip to the park
too soon. Never visit a park on your way
home from the shelter. You want a solid two
weeks observing your new dog at home,
taking controlled walks on leash and giving
her time to get comfortable in a new setting
before venturing into an uncontrolled envi-
ronment. And, once you decide its time to
try a dog park, take baby steps; make your
rst visit when the park isnt busy. Avoid the
peak times right before or after work. Never
allow your dog to run off-leash from your
car to the park; dont go leash-free until
youre safely inside the park. People do this
all the time. They also use exi-leads and
allow their dog to charge at other dogs.
Once inside the park, supervise your dog at
all times. Leave the texting device in your
pocket! If you notice that your dog is one
of the personality extremes the park
bully or the fearful wallflower Velcroed to
your leg a busy dog park is not for you.
Make sure to bring a few poop bags, even
if your park has a communal take
one/leave one bag station. The day you
chance it or forget a bag is the day the
park station will be out of bags. Finally,
dont allow your dog to continue mount-
ing another dog, even if the owner seems
to have a casual let dogs be dogs atti-
tude. If a dog fight occurs, try to break it
up by yelling, or if necessary, pulling dogs
apart from their back ends. People who
attempt to grab dogs by the collar are the
ones most at risk of being bitten.

LOS ANGELES Circus ani-
mals and space beasts have lifted
Hollywood to a huge weekend.
The cuddly critters of
Madagascar 3: Europes Most
Wanted led the weekend with a
$60.4 million debut domestically,
followed by a big opening for Ridley
Scotts alien saga Prometheus at
No. 2 with $50 million, according to
studio estimates Sunday.
DreamWorks Animations
Madagascar 3 was the family
favorite for the weekend, reuniting
voice stars Ben Stiller, Chris Rock,
Jada Pinkett Smith and David
Schwimmer as the zoo animals con-
tinue their travels by joining a circus.
Madagascar 3 outdid the $47.2
million debut of the 2005 original,
though it came in behind the $63.1
million opening of the rst sequel,
2008s Madagascar: Escape 2
Africa. Europes Most Wanted
had the added benet of todays
higher ticket prices and a bump from
fans who caught 3-D shows, which
cost a few dollars more than 2-D
screenings.
Still, fans remain loyal to the fran-
chise, and Madagascar 3 received
generally better reviews than the pre-
vious two installments.
Its the beloved characters and
their comic adventures. And
Madagascar 3 is critically the best-
reviewed of the franchise. Both audi-
ences and critics really love this one
the most, said Anne Globe, head of
marketing for DreamWorks
Animation.
Madagascar 3 also took in $75.5
million internationally for a world-
wide debut of $135.9 million.
Prometheus, from 20th Century
Fox, stars Noomi Rapace, Michael
Fassbender and Charlize Theron in
an offshoot of directors Scotts 1979
sci-fi horror tale Alien.
Prometheus did big business
despite an R rating, which can limit a
movies audience since fans under
17 must see it with an adult.
Conventional wisdom is that
action lms should come in with a
PG-13 rating to cast the widest net
possible for its audience.
A $50 million weekend disproves
that rule, for sure, said Chris
Aronson, head of distribution for
20th Century Fox. This movie is so
special. Its visually stunning, great
storytelling as Ridley is known for.
Its Ridley Scotts vision. Im an
unabashed fan of the movie, and the
performance at the box ofce bears
that out.
The movie added $39.2 million
overseas, bringing its international
total to $91.5 million and its world-
wide take to $141.5 million since it
began rolling out in some markets a
week earlier.
The one-two punch of
Madagascar 3 and Prometheus
lifted Hollywood out of an early dip
in summer-season revenue. After
three-straight weekends of declining
receipts, domestic business totaled
$177 million, up 29 percent from the
same weekend last year, when
Super 8 led with $35.5 million,
according to box-office tracker
Hollywood.com.
It has to do with the variety of
movies in the marketplace, said
Hollywood.com analyst Paul
Dergarabedian. This is a perfectly
programmed summer weekend with
a PG-rated animated family lm
combined with an R-rated, intense
sci- movie.
The previous weekends top draw,
Universals Snow White & the
Huntsman, slipped to third-place
with $23 million, raising its domestic
total to $98.5 million.
Sonys Men in Black 3 nished
fourth with $13.5 million, putting its
domestic receipts at $135.5 million.
The superhero smash The
Avengers, from Disneys Marvel
Studios, was No. 5 with $10.8 mil-
lion, lifting its domestic total to
$571.9 million. The years top-gross-
ing lm, The Avengers added $7.8
million overseas, raising its interna-
tional haul to $824.4 million and its
worldwide revenue to just under $1.4
billion.

running a bad coupon program but also
fails to abide by California law obligat-
ing stores to disclose if they do not fully
refund items returned within seven days
of purchase.
Had Lewan not used the coupon and
purchased the Ride Along Chuck sepa-
rately, he would not have lost $3.10, the
suit states.
However, a Toys R Us representa-
tive points to the corporations policy
spelled out on its website.
Kathleen Waugh, vice president of
corporate communications, said she can-
not comment on pending litigation but
pointed out the policy online entitled
Returns of items where free gift card
was received with purchase. The policy
states that the value of the free gift card
or merchandise will be deducted from
the refund amount unless it is returned
unused or in resaleable condition.
Lewans suit, though, argues he never
received an explanation of the return
policy until after attempting the return
and that a manager he spoke with on
Oct. 9 wasnt able to explain the pro-
rated guidelines.
Lewan was still above the $75 thresh-
old after returning the toy so he would
have not lost any money had he made
two purchases rather than combining
them and using the coupon, according to
the suit.
The suit also cites the California civil
code which holds that retail sellers who
dont offer full refunds must display the
policy publicly.
The case is next scheduled for a com-
plex case status conference July 27 and a
case management conference Oct. 12.
TOYS
the Best Western Plus Lighthouse Hotel in
Rockaway Beach, sees the benet for
guests of the citys six hotels.
People could park their car in Pacica,
stop and get food, ride up to Devils Slide,
go hiking up there, spend the day, come
back on the shuttle and have dinner here,
Cerle said.
The new service could also assist sen-
iors, low-income residents and youth
which Anita M. Rees serves in her capaci-
ty as executive director of the Pacica
Resource Center.
I denitely think its going to end up
helping folks get around the city, especial-
ly those who dont have cars. While we
appreciate the existing bus services, they
are limited, Rees said.
Some details still need to be worked out.
In a communication dated May 17,
C/CAG informed the city that funding
would be deferred, pending additional
information. One of the issues raised was
C/CAGs belief that the planned route
would partially duplicate existing
SamTrans service. One requirement of
C/CAGs call for projects is that proposed
shuttle services must not duplicate existing
bus routes.
City Manager Stephen Rhodes said
some overlap is inevitable but seems con-
dent the project will move forward.
Its fairly limited, but we do duplicate a
little because Highway 1 is the only way to
move around in our community. We do hit
some of the same spots, but you cant help
it, he said.
Rhodes promised to remind C/CAG that
SamTrans already signed off on the pro-
posal, certifying that it doesnt duplicate
existing bus routes.
C/CAG Executive Director Richard
Napier said it serves no purpose to run a
free shuttle route thats in competition with
SamTrans.
If you look at the transportation issues
in the county, there are a lot of gaps, and
its those needs that we want to ll, he
said.
Councilwoman Mary Ann Nihart, also a
member of the C/CAG board, feels strong-
ly there is no duplication of service.
Were taking alternate streets and sce-
nic routes to avoid duplicating theirs, she
said. Were keeping our ngers crossed
that C/CAG will see things the way we
do.
Napier does regard the matter as a
momentary hiccup, rather than a deal
breaker.
The bad news is that it looked like we
were concerned there was a conict. The
good news is they (Pacica) have a chance
to address the concern we have and resub-
mit their proposal for funding without hav-
ing to wait a year for the next call for proj-
ects. As soon as they correct it and resub-
mit it to us, well go ahead and approve it,
he said.
Nihart, who has been the projects
biggest booster from the beginning, is
hopeful. She envisions various scenarios in
which the shuttlebus would add value to a
visitors experience.
You come to town, check in to a hotel,
and you have a parking place at that hotel.
Then somebody tells you theres a beauti-
ful walking trail that will take you to the
shing pier or the beach or any number of
other sites and you go exploring. And then
you get tired and you dont want to walk
all the way back to your hotel. Well, this
gives you options. If you know therell be
a free shuttle coming along every hour,
you wont hesitate to set off on those kinds
of adventures, she said.
The hiking trail and scenic area thats
part of the Devils Slide bypass project is
another reason the city needs a free week-
end shuttle, she said.
Ultimately, we want the shuttle to go to
Devils Slide, because when people drive
up there, there wont be much parking.
SamTrans does go along Highway 1, but it
keeps going, so people could take the bus
up there and then have to wait for quite a
while before they can get back down. Our
free, hourly shuttle would solve that prob-
lem, she said.
The planned shuttlebus will be smaller
than a full-sized bus, with seating for
approximately 20 passengers. One feature
that Nihart speaks of with pride is that the
shuttle will be fully able to serve disabled
residents and visitors.
The citys proposal is in response to a
call for projects issued by C/CAG and
SamTrans in March. Under the program,
$7 million provided by the Measure A
transit tax is available to help public agen-
cies in San Mateo County establish shut-
tlebus services in scal years 2013 and
2014.
Pacica would have to come up with 25
percent matching funds, of which the
citys sanitation provider, Recology of the
Coast, has pledged to contribute $7,500
per year, with the Pacica Hotel Business
Improvement District making up the rest.
The total cost of operating the weekend
shuttlebus was estimated at $53,000 per
year, including the drivers salary.
BUS
Even with the city looking at decits the
next two years, Bells budget message
projects a turnaround into a modest sur-
plus in 2016-2017.
The council will study the budget over
the course of two nights before nal
adoption likely at the June 25 meeting.
The budget proposed by Bell absorbs
approximately $2 million in lost annual
revenue due to the elimination of the
redevelopment agency and recaps last
years effort to achieve $5.6 million in
labor concessions, greater efciencies
by reorganizing departments and passing
two ballot initiatives increasing the tran-
sient occupancy and business license
taxes.
General fund revenue is expected to
remain at at $82.3 million but secured
property, hotel and sales taxes are esti-
mated to rise. The recommended budget
also assumes the city will receive $2.5
million in state Education Revenue
Augmentation funds in 2012-2013.
On the expenditure side, the budget
estimates $82.5 million, or about $2 mil-
lion less than previous projected.
Approximately 81 percent are chalked
up to employee costs.
The budget also recommends transfer-
ring $1 million from the general fund to
the parking fund because revenue there
is below the budgeted expenses.
Going forward, the city plans to reor-
ganize further its community develop-
ment department and move the building
maintenance and facilities maintenance
division into public works.
The Redwood City Council will hold
budget study sessions at 7 p.m. Monday,
June 11 and Monday, June 18 at City
Hall, 1017 Middleeld Road, Redwood
City.

Lucchesi laughed that while the two
organizations are kind of rivals, hes
happy to help whenever he can should
the Lions be putting together a philan-
thropic effort.
Marks generosity and pleasant man-
ner set him apart from others when he is
asked for support. He has always been
there with free donations, and very spe-
cial pricing on those items he could not
simply give away. Though he is a
Rotarian, he has been there for the other
service groups within Burlingame,
including the Lions Club. He has gone
the extra mile to make sure that whatev-
er we have needed was there on time,
and in some cases, he even sliced the
ham, according to a press release from
the Lions announcing the recognition.
Lucchesi said being involved in the
community wouldnt be possible if it
werent for the support of Mollie Stone
founders Mike Stone and David Bennett
who gave him that opportunity. In addi-
tion, Lucchesi said he is dedicating the
award to his parents long-time resi-
dents and merchants in Burlingame who
have both passed.
Lucchesi grew up locally having
attended St. Catherine of Siena School
then Serra High School before studying
economics at Long Beach State. It was
at Long Beach that he met his future
wife, Kathy. Lucchesi was working on
campus serving food. She was the cutest
girl coming through the line. Before ask-
ing her out, he would do small things in
hopes of getting her attention like toss-
ing a tomato for her salad in the air
before she chose the food. Today, he and
Kathy have three adult children
Garrett, Courtney and Cameron.
After graduation, Lucchesi wasnt
sure what to do but decided to take his
dads offer to work for him. Lucchesis
father had two markets Jims Super in
Burlingame and Capuchino Market in
Millbrae. A couple years later,
Lucchesis father died at a young age.
The family kept the Millbrae store going
for about 10 years, until they lost the
lease. Then Lucchesi began work at
Petrinis. He worked his way up to man-
ager then joined Mollie Stones for the
chance to be a big sh in a small pond.
Lucchesi enjoys working with the
people. He believes it keeps him young.
It probably doesnt hurt that Lucchesi
is pretty t. He works out daily and
enjoys taking part in races in the area.
Come Sunday, Lucchesi attends service
with his wife then enjoys watching
whatever sport is in season.

MARK
MONDAY, JUNE 11, 2012
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A disappointing
deadlock will result unless a middle ground can
be found in an argument youre having with
your mate or someone close to you. Compro-
mise is a must in this situation.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Even if you have
to work a lot harder for what you want, know
that your dedicated efforts wont go unreward-
ed. Itll all be worth it in the long run.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Theres a chance you
could display both brilliance and ineptitude
when it comes to your financial or commercial
affairs. Exactly which one will be the winner is
a toss-up.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Even if you have plenty
of justifcation for being angry concerning a past or
upcoming incident, remember that youre bigger than
anything that transpires. Forgive and forget.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Although youre normally
a good judge of people, be careful about putting your
faith in the wrong folks. Refrain from discussing
things that should be kept confdential.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Youre apt to be pretty
good at achieving your objectives, yet youre not
likely to win any popularity contests from some of the
tactics youll use in the process.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- There are times
when we work very hard to get something we think
we want, only to discover later that it wasnt worth
the effort. It may be one of those times for you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- In order to be a
good salesperson, youll not only need a good prod-
uct but an excellent presentation as well. Dont put
your prospects to sleep when hawking your wares.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Keep in mind how an-
noyed you can get when others disrupt your plans, so
that you dont do the same to co-workers by trying to
rearrange events they have on their calendars.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- When it comes to an
arrangement where a collective effort is required to
carry things off, it might be left up to you to instill the
spirit of togetherness in those involved.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Although you think
youre trying very hard to make progress, unless you
truly concentrate on doing so, youll merely be kid-
ding yourself. Focus, focus, focus.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be patient regarding
techniques for achieving steady progress. If you
arent, youll start to make changes for changes
sake and cause yourself all kinds of trouble.

WORLD/LOCAL 31
30, 1893. Chicago Fair Day attracted more
than 700,000 people, a record for outdoor fair
attendance. During its run, the Exposition
drew nearly 26,000,000 visitors. It was huge.
Using 600 acres along Lake Michigans
South Shore, designers Daniel Burnham and
Frederick Law Olmsted attempted to make it
a Beaux Arts extravaganza. Its grandeur
exceeded all world fairs that had been put on
up to this time. Alternating electricity pio-
neered by Nicola Tesla lit up the buildings and
fair grounds for the very rst time. The Ferris
Wheel was introduced to the world at this fair
as well as the hamburger, a moving walk and
cracker jacks.
From this remarkable show of Chicagos
progress since the Great Fire that had
destroyed the city in 1871, Otto Schmitt, a
showman at the fair, put together a traveling
carnival featuring 13 acts patterned after those
at the fair. His show, although smaller, was
welcomed in many cities until Schmitts busi-
ness practices bankrupted the shows. Many of
the acts were continued by members of the
shows and they continued to perform and
begin many others traveling companies. The
number of traveling carnivals increased to 46
by 1905 and, by 1937, there were estimated to
be more than 300 carnivals touring the coun-
try. In addition to Schmitts traveling show,
San Franciscos businessmen leaped on the
idea of a show in Golden Gate Park in 1894
and purchased many of the buildings and acts
to perform and be set up on the West Coast. It
was a rst for this Mid-Winter Fair that it
became to be called. Ground was broken Aug.
24, 1893, with 60,000 people attending the
ceremonies. Michael de Young was declared
director-general of the exposition. The pace of
construction was incredible. The reuse of
some of Chicagos exhibits saved both time
and money. The target date for the opening of
the fair was to be Jan. 1, 1894. After the 1894
San Francisco fair closed, many of the acts
began touring the country in the same manner
as Otto Schmidt had done and the traveling
carnival became an American institution.
Small towns and cities would now boast that
they were a community that had modern
entertainment that broke the monotony of liv-
ing in a small town. The carnival became
almost more important a form of entertain-
ment as the occasional circus that hit the
town.
Most of the traveling carnivals were pat-
terned after Chicagos Midway Plaisance
(meaning pleasure) as the separate entertain-
ment section was called at the fair. Later the
term would be shortened to Midway. The
midway that Chicago introduced is believed
to have been the catalyst of all traveling car-
nivals in the United States. In addition to stan-
dard acts patterned after burlesque, games of
chance, rides, freak shows, food booths,
carnie games such as weight guessing booths,
ping pong ball and shbowl games of chance
as well as shooting, balloon and dart games
were added to the carnivals.
Small prizes were given with larger prizes
given when the mark repeated the game.
The term mark was derived when the oper-
ator spotted a person likely to get easy money
from by prodding him to continue playing
games that the police suspected were rigged.
The operator put chalk on his hand, slapped
the prospective easy player on the back thus
marking him so other operators could iden-
tify him and try to con him into playing their
hard to win games. The police in these
small towns shuttered when they found out
the carnival was hitting town because of the
many complaints that surfaced. The carnivals
developed bad reputations and were watched
closely by law enforcement ofcials who usu-
ally demanded that all games of chance be
tested by the police before they could operate.
Nevertheless, the complaints continued to
plague the ofcials as the carnies were very
smooth in their operations. I remember some
advice that a businessman gave me when he
found out the carnival was to arrive soon:
Count your money three times if you deal
with these people, and keep them out of your
store if possible. They are sharp people and
are not to be trusted. Still, I went to the car-
nival despite his warnings. These were excit-
ing times for a young boy.

HISTORY
CAIRO Hosni Mubarak is
slipping in and out of consciousness
eight days after the ousted Egyptian
leader was sent to prison to begin
serving a life sentence, a security
ofcial said on Sunday.
With rumors of the former presi-
dents death spreading rapidly,
authorities granted his wife, former
rst lady Suzanne Mubarak, and the
couples two daughters-in-law special
permission to visit him in Cairos
Torah prison early that morning.
The former presidents health is in
decline, but now its stable in its dete-
riorated state, the ofcial said. Since
his wifes visit, Mubarak has suffered
from an irregular heartbeat and
required assistance in breathing.
The ofcial told The Associated
Press that the former president now
lives only on liquids and yogurt. He
spoke on condition of anonymity
because he was not authorized to
speak to the media.
Mubaraks health is reported to
have collapsed since his June 2 con-
viction for failing to stop the killing
of protesters during the uprising that
overthrew him in 2011. His life sen-
tence saw him transferred immediate-
ly to a prison hospital, instead of the
military hospital
and other facili-
ties where he had
been held since
his April 2011
arrest.
Aut hor i t i es
have turned
down several
requests by
Mubaraks fami-
ly to transfer the ousted president
back to a military facility, the ofcial
said.
On Saturday Mubaraks wife was
denied access to the Intensive Care
Unit where he was placed, as
authorities limit family visitations to
one a month.
According to security officials
quoted by al-Masry al-Youm daily,
Mrs. Mubarak lashed out at wardens
for not giving her husband permis-
sion to seek treatment outside the
prison. You will be responsible for
his death, she allegedly said.
Mubaraks two sons Alaa and
Gamal are also being held. They were
acquitted on June 2 of corruption
charges, but still face separate
charges of insider trading.
On Saturday, Egypts state run
news agency MENA quoted ofcials
as saying that Mubarak is at risk of
stroke, quoting a medical teams
report.
Other media reports said that his
lawyer Farid al-Deeb informed him
that he will soon be transferred back
to a military facility in the Cairo sub-
urb of Maadi.
In his last public appearance on
June 2, the bedridden Mubarak sat
stoned-faced in the courtroom cage.
However, ofcials said that he broke
into tears when he learnt that he will
be transferred to Torah prison. It
took officials hours to convince
Mubarak to leave the helicopter that
ferried him from the courthouse to
the prison.
Media reports quoted Mubarak at
the time as saying the military coun-
cil who took over after his ouster
had deceived him. Egypt has sold
me. They want me to die here, he
reportedly said.
The verdict sparked a new wave of
protests by tens of thousands of
Egyptians who allege the verdict was
determined by political pressure from
the countrys military rulers, doing a
favor for their former president.
They say the verdict as issued can
be easily overturned in an appeal, and
that the acquittals of six top security
ofcials mean that killers of the pro-
testers will remain unknown.
Mubarak in critical condition
CAIRO Egypts government
has pulled TV public service
announcements that warned against
talking to foreigners because they
might be spies after critics charged
the spots fueled xenophobia and
aimed to tarnish those behind last
years uprising.
The two spots ran on state and pri-
vate television stations for a few
days before Minister of Information
Ahmed Anis ordered them off the
air, a media ofcial said Sunday.
One opens with a blond-haired
young man scanning a cafe while a
narrator says:
From the beginning, he knows
why he is here and sets up his goal. He
wont have to spend much time getting
to know the people in the place. The
foreigner then spots three young
Egyptians and heads over to them,
saying in broken Arabic: I love you so
much. The narrator says: Our gen-
erosity has no limits, as one of the
Egyptians stands up, shakes hands and
invites the foreigner to sit with them.
It goes on to show the visitor smil-
ing slyly and narrowing his eyes while
listening intently to the Egyptians
complaining about the economy and
talking about overhearing a plot
against the ruling military council in
the subway. The narrator warns
Egyptians not to share with outsiders
their woes about the economy or polit-
ical situation.
Both spots close with: Every
word comes with a price. A word
can save a nation.
Claims of a meddling foreign
hand found resonance among
many Egyptians during and after the
uprising. The revolt was driven by
youthful activists who relied heavily
on social networking sites.
But some among the wider public
have mixed feelings about foreigners
and suspect the United States, Israel
and others are scheming against their
nation and Islam, the faith of most
Egyptians. At the same time, they
worry about losing the countrys main
source of income, tourism.

Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When an MRI
showed that I had two degenerative
discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections without
success. The only thing that made
the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at
Crossroads Health Center. Four years
later and I am still pain-free!

Israel ofcials condemn
violence in Syria
JERUSALEM Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday led
a chorus of Israeli ofcials express-
ing outrage over the bloodshed in
Syria, accusing Iran and Lebanese
Hezbollah militants of complicity in
the carnage there.
Israel is anxiously watching devel-
opments in the neighboring country,
fearing widening instability in the
region. With dozens killed in fero-
cious weekend battles, a string of top
Israeli ofcials sounded alarms over
the deteriorating situation in Syria and
called for international intervention.
Netanyahu accused Syrias power-
ful, anti-Israel allies of helping the
regime of President Basher Assad to
brutally suppress the 15-month-old
rebellion.
This massacre is not executed by
the Syrian government alone; it is
assisted by Iran and Hezbollah, and
the world should realize this is a con-
centrated axis of evil: Iran, Syria and
Hezbollah, Netanyahu said at the
start of the weekly Cabinet meeting.
After keeping quiet in the early
months of the Syrian uprising, Israeli
leaders have grown increasingly out-
spoken in their calls for Assad to step
aside. Israeli ofcials, however,
adamantly reject suggestions that they
are assisting Syrian rebels.
Vice Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz
warned that Iran and Hezbollah
could take the conflict beyond
Syrias borders, and portrayed the
slaughters in the harshest of terms.
A crime against humanity, geno-
cide, is transpiring in Syria today,
Mofaz said in an interview with
Army Radio, faulting world powers
for what he called a limp response
and singling out Russia because it is
arming Syria.
BEIRUT Syrias main opposi-
tion group on Sunday picked a secu-
lar Kurd as its new leader after criti-
cism that the former head was too
autocratic and the group was becom-
ing dominated by Islamists.
The opposition, hobbled by disor-
ganization and inghting, is trying
to pull together and appear more
inclusive by choosing a member of
an ethnic minority.
The oppositions disarray has
frustrated Western powers eager to
dislodge Syrian President Bashar
Assad but unwilling or unable to
send in their own forces to do it.
There has been some willingness to
support the rebels with funds and
arms, but the lack of a cohesive front
or a single address has hampered the
efforts as the bloodshed intensies.
On Sunday, government forces
shelled rebel-held cities and vil-
lages, killing at least 38 people in
the rebellious Homs district in cen-
tral Syria, activists said. It was
impossible to independently conrm
the death toll.
The choice of Abdulbaset Sieda as
head of the Syrian National Council
is aimed at achieving several goals
for the main opposition group.
Under outgoing leader Burhan
Ghalioun, criticism mounted that the
group was dominated by Islamists,
especially the Muslim Brotherhood.
Sieda is a secular.
Sieda is also a Kurd, and his
selection could be an incentive for
Syrias minority Kurds to take a
more active role in the uprising. Up
to now they have stayed mostly on
the sidelines.
Selection of a member of a
minority group could counter criti-
cism that under Ghalioun, the
umbrella organization was too
autocratic. Sieda is seen as a neutral
consensus gure.
This is clearly an opportunity
and there is clearly a need for a
change, said Peter Harling of the
Brussels-based International Crisis
Group think tank.
However, key problems remain.
The SNC has only tenuous ties to
the Free Syrian Army, which is
doing most of the actual ghting
against Assads forces, and is itself
little more than a disorganized col-
lection of local militias.
Sieda, 56, an expert on ancient
civilizations, is a longtime exile
who lives in Sweden, like his pred-
ecessor, who is based in Paris.
Activists actually doing the ghting
in Syria worry that if they succeed
in deposing Assad, the exiles will
swoop in and take over.
The SNC must also gain the con-
dence of the international commu-
nity, which is searching for effec-
tive ways to hasten the departure of
Assad.
British Foreign Secretary
William Hague said Sunday that he
could not rule out military interven-
tion in Syria, saying the situation
there is beginning to resemble the
violence that gripped Bosnia in the
1990s.
Hague told Sky News television
that time was clearly running
short to implement international
envoy Ko Annans cease-re plan.
It was supposed to take effect on
April 12 but never took hold.
Hague said Syria was on the edge
of collapse or of a sectarian civil war
so I dont think we can rule anything
out.
Sieda was elected unanimously
for a three-month term as president
at an SNC meeting in Istanbul that
stretched into early hours of Sunday.
Rebels in Syria have new leader
LONDON British Foreign
Secretary William Hague said
Sunday that he couldnt rule out a
military intervention in Syria, say-
ing the situation there was begin-
ning to resemble the violence that
gripped Bosnia in the 1990s.
Hague told Sky News television
that time was now clearly running
short to implement international
envoy Kofi Annans ceasefire plan
in Syria, and that Britain was
already turning its eye toward
what it would do if the plan failed.
Asked if his government had
ruled out the use of force, Hague
said Sunday that the country was
on the edge of collapse or of a
sectarian civil war so I dont think
we can rule anything out.
It is looking more like Bosnia
in the 1990s, being on the edge of
a sectarian conflict in which
neighboring villages are attacking
and killing each other, he added.
The Bosnia conflict broke out in
1992, claiming tens of thousands
of lives and embroiling the
Balkans in years of vicious ethnic
warfare. Eventually, ineffectual
international action was followed
by NATO air strikes, and a peace
accord put an end to the fighting in
1995.
Hague told the broadcaster that
Britains preference remained for a
diplomatic pressure behind an
actual plan of action for transition
in Syria.
Every other solution to the
Syrian crisis involves a lot more
death, he noted.
