TOPS OBAMAS AGENDA FOR TALKS

San Mateo County stands to
lose approximately $30 million
in extra property tax revenue if the
revised school funding formula in
the proposed state budget is adopt-
ed, according to County Manager
John Maltbie.
Maltbie will deliver that news
and other analysis of the gover-
nors May budget revision to the
Board of
Supervisors at
its Tuesday
morning meet-
ing. The revi-
sion assumes
$98 billion in
revenue, $96
billion in
expenses and
$1. 1 billion
reserves with a key provision a
proposed change to education
funding. Immediately after the
revisions release, Maltbie and
other county ofcials said they
needed time to pencil out what that
all means for San Mateo County
departments and coffers. The board
report offers that more detailed
breakdown, including the caution
about how the local control fund-
ing formula for K-12 education
which increases school revenue
limits will prove negative to
the countys educational revenue
augmentation fund money.
As proposed, schools would
receive a base amount with adjust-
ments for certain groups like
English-language learners, low-
income families and foster youth.
Schools may receive more but, as
a result, the county could receive
less.
However, the specifics of the
funding formula are still being
wrestled with on the state level
which makes more specic esti-
mates of local scal impacts chal-
lenging.
At rst blush when the revision
was released May 14, several
county ofcials called it rosy or at
least difcult to be unhappy with
because it painted a more positive
picture than past years. However,
according to Maltbies report, the
budget also cautions that the high-
er-than-expected revenue is spread

$150 million reboot for
Hollywood Temple to Stars
LOS ANGELES From its very
beginnings, the imposing marble edi-
ce with the glistening copper dome
rising 100 feet above the edge of down-
town Los Angeles has been a major
Hollywood production.
During the Golden Era, MGM co-
founder Louis B. Mayer, along with fel-
low movie moguls Irving Thalberg,
Carl Laemmle and the Warner brothers,
helped bankroll the cavernous Wilshire
Boulevard Temple, which debuted in
1929 as the cornerstone of the largest
Jewish congregation west of Chicago.
The Tinseltown synagogue became
known as the Temple to the Stars and
served as the featured set location for
everything from A-list weddings to an
episode of Entourage.
Now, in the grand tradition of long-
running Hollywood franchises, LAs
oldest synagogue is getting a $150
million reboot just in time for sum-
mer release.
In the coming weeks, the sanctuarys
ornate front doors will open for the rst
time in nearly two years, allowing the
public to see a restoration that includes
newly repaired giant chandeliers and
refurbished murals depicting the histo-
ry of Judaism by the great lm artist
Hugo Ballin.
Ive peeked in to see it, and its
inspiring and sort of awesome, said
prominent Los Angeles public rela-
tions executive Steve Sugerman, whose
family connections to the congrega-
tion date back to its founding.
After the planned sneak preview in
mid-June, religious services are to
resume in time for High Holy Days in
September.
But thats just the beginning. By
2020, synagogue leaders plan to have
overhauled the entire block of Wilshire
Boulevard that the temple occupies,
replacing a parking lot with schools, a
public exhibition space and a social
services center that will include a food
pantry and medical, dental and other
services that will be open to everyone
in the multiethnic neighborhood.
We call it tikkun olam, says Rabbi
Steven Z. Leder, citing the tenet of
Judaism that directs its practitioners to
make the world a better place. We take
this imperative to help improve and
repair our world very seriously.
When he became the congregations
senior pastor nine years ago, Leder and
his board of directors quickly realized
one of their rst tasks in accomplish-
ing that goal would be doing some-
thing about the aging temple. It may
have been a Hollywood blockbuster
when it opened three-quarters of a cen-
tury earlier, but it was beginning to fall
apart.
While the 4,000 pipe temple organ
could still produce the music of angels,
and the intricate stained-glass windows
continued to send into the sanctuary an
astounding array of colors that changed
with the time of day, some other parts
of the building had been made out of
cheap studio back lot-quality materials.
Like so many things in the movie
business, parts of the building are not
what they seem, said the temples exec-
utive director, Howard Kaplan, as he led
a recent tour through the building while
restorers hammered and drilled away.
This is concrete molded with rubber
so it will look like wood, and they
painted it to look like wood. But its
not wood, he said of what restorers
discovered when they began to reno-
vate a hallway leading into the main
sanctuary.
The buildings majestic copper dome,
he noted, had originally been made out
of tile and apparently not very good
tile, at that. It began to leak almost
immediately and was replaced more
than 70 years ago.

n 1957, ofcials began the writing
legislation that would ensure the even-
tual building of a transportation sys-
tem that would ring the Peninsula. Bay Area
Rapid Transit was envisioned as being the
joint efforts of ve counties that touch the
Bay Marin, Alameda, San Francisco,
Contra Costa and San Mateo counties.
In 1962, San Mateo County supervisors
withdrew support and participation in
BART without taking a county vote. Much
opposition was sensed in the county when
high county taxes were perceived to be the
fuel of the BART system. The Southern
Pacic train system was deemed sufcient to
handle the anticipated need of the com-
muters. Marin County also withdrew from
the BARTsystem in 1962. The 75-mile sys-
tem was begun without the commitment of
Marin or San Mateo counties.
When the BART station in Daly City
opened, it was without proper concern for
the thousands of motorists who would park
their cars and use BART. BART had no
intention of solving this parking problem
as they had committed themselves to the
legitimate concerns of the county sta-
tions that were authorized to be in the sys-
tem. Eventually a parking lot was built, but
only after much anger and frustration.
All of the construction required money
and the citizens were taxed repeatedly.
Resentment was building up in the taxpay-
ers. The East Bay property owners began
paying property taxes in 1957 to fund
BART. In 1969, a sales tax was added. In
1974, the San Mateo County Transit
District (SamTrans) approved a county-wide
bus system. Aone-half cent sales tax was to
fund this.
In 1978, Proposition 13 was passed by
California voters, effectively stopping the
excessive rise of property taxes.
In 1985, the voters of the San Mateo
County voted 3-1 to build a passenger sta-
tion in Colma with existing sales tax rev-
enue. Ofcials of Colma objected, but it did
no good. The BART station was built on
unincorporated county property.
In 1987, 61 percent of the voters
approved a at SFO vicinity extension by
BART.
In January 1989, a sales tax increase was
approved for train, street, highway, para-
transit and bike path projects.
In March 1990, an agreement to pursue a
$200 million buy-in to the existing BART
District was approved and SamTrans was to
apply for annexation of the San Mateo
County to BART. SamTrans was to come up
with 25 percent of the construction costs
that were estimated to be $1.2 billion.

By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Our
countrys economic
roller-coaster ride
has been interesting
and historic for
sure, but also very
troubling for many
families whove not
been as financially stable as others.
Recently though Ive been observing a
phenomenon with those we serve at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS. It may
be too early to confirm, but it appears that
there is a general state of confidence with
many families, along with the decisions and
choices they make during funeral
arrangements. Yes, I know you are thinking
that confidence is not a term you would
use to coincide with funeral arrangements,
but it appears to me that people I see are
tending to be more financially assured than
during the deepest years of The Great
Recession.
They say that the two things you cant
avoid are death and taxes. With that in
mind, during the economic downturn I saw a
very noticeable sense of thrift and
prudence with a lot of families who
experienced a death during that period.
Still, those who tended to cost shop at
various funeral homes selected CHAPEL
OF THE HIGHLANDS to handle funeral or
cremation arrangements. These families
found comfort with our service, and notably
with our more economic cost structure.
Now, lately the trend with families and
their funeral choices reminds me of the days
way before the recession hit. Its not that
people are utilizing their funds differently,
spending more or spending less, but that
they are more assertive and confident when
using their wallet. Seeing this over and over
gives me a good indication that something in
the economic climate is changing compared
to not that long ago.
Even though many of our honorable
elected officials in Sacramento and
Washington D.C. appear to be as inflexible
with economic issues as always, the air of
confidence with the families Ive been
dealing with means to me that these people
are feeling less pressured financially.
It is well known that when businesses do
well they hire more employees, and when
those employees are confident they will
spend their money on goods and services.
In turn, the companies that provide goods
and services will need competent employees
to create more goods, give more services,
and so onmaking a positive circle for a
healthy economy. In relation to that, after a
long period of U.S. manufacturing jobs
being sent over-seas there is news of a
growing number of companies bringing this
work back to the United States. Real Estate
values on the Peninsula remained in a good
state during the recession, but houses here
are now in demand more than ever.
Encouraging Hopeful and Positive
are words to describe the optimistic
vibrations that people are giving off. If the
community is becoming more comfortable
with spending, that indicates good health for
business and the enrichment of our
economic atmosphere. I hope Im right, so
lets all keep our fingers crossed.
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

City inspection triggers emergency
demolition of church bell tower
ABelmont churchs bell tower underwent emergency dem-
olition Saturday after city inspectors on Friday red-tagged
the building, according to police.
The Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary was deemed
unsafe to occupy and shut down on Friday after city building
ofcials found the tower was compromised by dry rot and
termite damage, according to Capt. Patrick Halleran.
The southbound lane and center divider on the 1000 block
of Alameda de las Pulgas were also closed after the church
was red tagged.
Construction crews and a crane began work early
Saturday, and removed the tower in sections. Around 5:30
p.m., city ofcials determined enough of the tower was
removed to render it safe, Halleran said.
The church was expected to remain closed Saturday, but
should have held services on Sunday as usual, Halleran said.

To set the record straight, Anna de
Benedictis did not run away and join the
circus.
Some may have believed that to be true.
Instead, the teen took a break from school
to deal with a form of bone cancer that
resulted in her having parts of her leg
removed and replaced with metal pieces.
She returned to school frail, with difficul-
ty moving around without a cane and a
wig. De Benedictis wouldnt opt for the
super short hairdo now, but she is happy
she decided to go to school sans wig at
least one day before her hair totally grew
out.
Others remind her
Overcoming cancer is something de
Benedictis often forgets is a big deal. As
she prepares to graduate from Menlo-
Atherton High School, others remind her
of the feat. The fact that shes graduating
on time, they point out, is an accomplish-
ment. De Benedictis, on the other hand, is
focused on the fact that everyone around
her is also prepping for college and trying
to decide what to do after high school.
Anna is spunky, creative, lively, car-
ing, courageous, determined and maybe
best of all fun, said M-Acollege advis-
er Alice Kleeman. Shes a terrific student
who didnt let missing a huge chunk of
freshman and sophomore years battling a
particularly painful and dangerous form of
cancer stop her from excelling academi-
cally and moving forward with a positive
attitude that just wont quit. She has
experienced far more pain than most peo-
ple, but her challenges have simply led
her to appreciate life more than most peo-
ple, and to have a mature perspective on
what really matters.
Interestingly, de Benedictis independ-
ent flare didnt come out right away. As a
child, de Benedictis described herself as
being nervous to try new things. She
feared being bad at them because shed
never tried whatever the task was.
That changed in high school, particular-
ly after finding a bump on her leg.
De Benedictis noticed the bump due to
pain she felt when running in physical
education class. It was nearly the end of
her freshman year when de Benedictis went
to the doctor. Shed previously suffered a
condition caused by bones growing faster
than her tendons and assumed the bump
simply meant the problem had returned.
But the doctor wanted to check it out fur-
ther. Doctors decided to test her bone mar-
row. She used crutches at M-Awhile await-
ing the results not an easy task for a
small girl. Results showed that de
Benedictis had osteosarcoma, bone can-
cer. Treatment needed to begin quickly.
Knee replacement
Truthfully, de Benedictis doesnt remem-
ber much about treatment due to the drugs.
Shes still greatly affected by certain
smells, such as bleach. Thanks to the help
of the Santa Clara Kaiser pediatric oncolo-
gy team, de Benedictis nine-month treat-
ment included a knee replacement surgery,
a metal shin being put into her left leg and
chemotherapy to keep the cancer from
coming back.
During the treatment, the school district
provided her with a tutor to help her keep
up with studies. De Benedictis focused on
English and history, classes students need
four years of to graduate. She credits that
with giving her the ability to get back on
track to graduate on time. De Benedictis
finished treatment just before her 16th
birthday.
She returned to school for the second
half of sophomore year as a frail, pale girl
with no hair and a cane. It was a challenge
to maneuver the social landscape of high
school after being out of the loop for so
long but de Benedictis found her place in
school and out.
Art had become an outlet. She was intro-
duced to film photography in middle
school, an expensive hobby she still
enjoys. Then, when going through cancer,
de Benedictis turned to art to create unique
shoes that she sold to raise funds. She was
granted a wish through the Make-A-Wi sh
Greater Bay Area Chapter. It included
going to Bermuda with her family but did-
nt include the cost of bringing friends
which de Benedictis wanted. Shes since
become quite involved with not only
Make-A-Wish but also the American
Cancer Society. For both organizations,
shes taken advantage of the opportunities
given to her to support the cause
through support, advocating and even art
work.
At school, de Benedictis joined the
schools literary magazine and the ecolo-
gy group SEEDS. Actually, environmental
science is of particular interest to de
Benedictis. Through SEEDS, she was able
to check out research by Stanford
University and plan Earth Week activities
that included planting a tree on campus.
Outside of school, de Benedictis enjoys
riding horses not something she would
have expected to do after her extensive leg
surgery.
Finding a marriage of her love of artistic
expression and environmental science is
de Benedictis professional dream. First,
she plans to study in the fall at the
University of California at Davis.
Menlo-Atherton High Schools gradua-
tion will be held at 4 p.m.. Thursday, June
6 at the football field, 555 Middlefield
Road, Atherton. No tickets are required.
Great Grads is in its eighth year prof i l-
ing one graduating senior from each of our
local schools. Schools have the option to
participate. Those that choose to partici-
pate are asked to nominate one student
who deserves recognition.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama will be looking for
signs from Chinas leader at their
upcoming meeting that Beijing is
ready to address its reported high-
tech spying, which the White
House sees as a top threat to the
U.S. economy and national securi-
t y.
The talks between Obama and
Chinese President Xi Jinping will
be followed by a July meeting
between U.S. and Chinese ofcials
focusing on cyberespionage,
along with other strategic and eco-
nomic issues. Secretary of State
John Kerry
announced the
U . S . - C h i n a
meetings when
he visited
Beijing in
April.
The summit
Friday and
Saturday at a
C a l i f o r n i a
estate also is aimed at establishing
personal ties between Obama and
Xi as relations between the two
global powers grow increasingly
complex.
Obama needs Xis help in stem-
ming nuclear threats from North
Korea and Iran, combating the vio-
lence in Syria, and continuing the
U.S. economic recovery.
The meeting at the 200-acre
Sunnylands estate once owned by
late publishing tycoon Walter
Annenberg is their rst since Xi
took power in March. The talks
also are coming months before the
leaders originally had planned to
meet, underscoring growing con-
cern in both countries about
potential fractures in the relation-
ship.
Cybersecurity is likely to be
the prickliest issue, given new
reports on the extent and regulari-
ty of Chinas cyberhacking and
increasing interest in Congress
about how the U.S. can punish
Beijing for its actions.
The Chinese government denies
it engages in such spying against
the U.S. But analysts say Beijing
has started to indicate some will-
ingness to address the problem
during private talks with Kerry,
national security adviser Tom
Donilon and others.
The Chinese have been much
more positive in private meet-
ings, James Lewis, a cybersecuri-
ty expert and former State
Department ofcial. The goal dur-
ing Obamas meeting, Lewis said,
will be to test whether the
Chinese have really moved to a
better position where they want to
engage.
A senior Obama administration
ofcial said that in recent talks, the
Chinese seem to be less dismissive
of U.S. concerns about cyberat-
tacks, but that the matter would be
not settled in one meeting.
Despite subtle signs of progress
in private talks, security analysts
say there is little evidence that
Chinese-based hacking has eased.
If the Chinese government
wanted to signal to the United
States that it wanted to curb its
activity, the U.S. government
would see it and we would see it,
said Richard Bejtlich, chief securi-
ty ofcer at the U.S.-based rm
Mandiant. But its the same as its
always been.
Cybersecurity tops Obamas agenda for China

SACRAMENTO Sport fish from
rivers and streams in the
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta have
higher levels of mercury in their sys-
tems than fish taken from anywhere
else in California, a new survey has
found.
Researchers for the State Water
Resources Control Board in 2011 sur-
veyed 16 species from 63 locations.
The study found that Sacramento
pikeminnow, smallmouth, largemouth
and striped bass from the Delta water-
shed had the highest concentrations of
mercury in their tissues, The
Sacramento Bee reported Sunday.
The states Ofce of Environmental
Health Hazard Assessment lists mercu-
ry as unsafe for frequent consumption,
especially for children and women of
child-bearing age. Studies have shown
that even low doses can affect a childs
motor skills and cause learning dis-
abilities. Mercury also has been
blamed for fertility and memory prob-
lems in adults.
Freshwater sh in California have
absorbed mercury that leached into
waterways from 19th and early 20th
Century mines.
The sites with the most contaminat-
ed sh included shing spots on the
American and San Joaquin rivers,
including Coloma, Discovery Park in
Sacramento, the pier at Point Antioch
and Louis Park in Stockton.
But UC Davis researcher Fraser
Shilling tells the Bee that some peo-
ple ignore the advisories and nonethe-
less consume what they catch.
Shilling surveyed people who fish
rivers in Sacramento, Stockton and
Suisun Bay about their catching and
eating habits in 2008. He concluded
that about 75,000 people consume
enough sh from those areas to put
them at risk, while about 8,500 eat
about 10 times the amount that of-
cials consider safe.
Delta fish have most mercury in state
Many of the locations
already have signs warn-
ing anglers of potential
health hazards.
This behavior may
have a lot to do with a
strong cultural prefer-
ence for sh for econom-
ic reasons, Shilling
said. Once you buy your
license, the sh becomes
a free source of food. And
in the lower elevations

areas immigrants and

OPINION 9
My two cents
Editor,
The IRS is being crucied for per-
forming its duty.
Provisions of IRS code Section
501(c)4 created by Congress and
intended for social welfare beneciar-
ies and to serve the poor and under-
privileged, has been perverted by the
Tea Party to hide funds for political
activities.
It is common knowledge that Tea
Party groups have used Section
501(c)4 as a cover to provide tax free
money to Political Action
Committees and similar lobbying
groups. Under 501(c)4, groups
involved in political activities are
prohibited from receiving the status
of nonprot status.
Tea partiers claim that, the IRS
waged a three-year war against the Tea
Party, harassing our groups and even
auditing our individual members. This
abuse of power is unacceptable and
unconstitutional, and it must stop.
However, records show that not a sin-
gle application from a Tea Party
group has been denied 501(c)4 status.
The same records show that more
than two-thirds of Tea Party-like
groups scrutinized by the IRS had in
fact engaged in political activities
and should be disqualied as nonprof-
its. The IRS is mandated by law to
review and verify information submit-
ted to qualify for the exemption. The
scandal should be about the IRS fail-
ure to deny these groups their appli-
cations for the 501(c)4 status.
Instead, the IRS is being vilied by
republicans and the media for nally
doing their job of screening the
applications for the nonprot status
under 501(c)4.
The uproar is about cheaters scream-
ing foul like wounded eagles.

Guest perspective
By Charlie Bronitsky
S
hortly after I was elected to the
City Council, we set a policy
that we would balance our
budget without the use of reserves
over a three-year period. Earlier this
month, we were presented with a draft
budget that does just that. Problem
solved. Well, not really. The budget
and our ve-year projections show a
balanced budget only for two years,
and then after that we are back in a
decit spending situation to the tune
of about $1 million per year. The rea-
son for this is because we were able to
balance the budget through one-time
only revenue, primarily from new
development in the city. Thus,
although it appears that we have met
our goal of balancing the budget, the
outcome is somewhat articial since
the budget will become unbalanced in
only two years hence. Thus, our scal
problems are still with us.
So what are we doing about that?
Let me tell you. We are working with
our local businesses to modernize our
business license tax. The business
license tax has not been updated in a
very long time and, although no one
likes to pay more taxes, our business-
es are understanding that it is through
that tax that they pay some of their
share of the services we provide. The
current revision being studied is not
to raise the percentage assessed, but
to increase the revenue cap to which
the percentage is applied. That way,
most small businesses will pay the
same, but larger businesses will pay
more of their fair share. You will ulti-
mately get to vote on this, but this
one source could generate about
$700,000 of sustainable revenue
when fully implemented.
Another area where we are looking
to develop additional revenue is future
development and redevelopment. The
15 acres adjacent to
City Hall, the nal
phases of the
Pilgrim-Triton
project, and a new
extended hotel adja-
cent to the Crowne
Plaza Hotel are all
going through the
planning process
and, if they come to fruition, they
will provide additional and sustain-
able revenue for our city.
Perhaps the most important piece
of this puzzle, in my opinion, is the
economic development plan we have
named Sustainable Foster City. I have
written about that before but you are
about to see it get much more publici-
ty and begin to ingrain itself in the
fabric of our city. On June 6, we will
be having a kickoff event involving
local residents, local businesses and
local schools discussing the progress
we have made so far and the great pro-
grams and projects yet to come. Some
of what you will hear about will be
about how the city has already saved
millions of dollars of costs though
the development and installation of
sustainable projects such as our syn-
thetic athletic elds, the water conser-
vation rebate programs and the LED
lights that are now throughout our
city. You will also hear about upcom-
ing projects such as our solar initia-
tive and our climate action plan out of
which we hope to see streamlined per-
mit processing and sustainable and
cost-saving construction and remod-
eling methods.
Coming in on the heels of the kick-
off event will be a series of programs
at our shopping centers. Starting in
the summer and continuing on into
the fall, the city will be working with
local merchants for weekday and
weekend events designed to encourage
local shopping and to give the mer-
chants a chance to show off their
food, wares and products to residents
and workers. We will also be working
with our other local businesses to
help them to better integrate with the
city and to join in public-private part-
nerships that provide economic and
social benet to our businesses and
residents. Taking a look at the poten-
tial redevelopment of some of our
shopping centers is one such possi-
bility.
In addition, we will also be working
with our largest businesses in an
effort to make them a greater partner
with Foster City, looking for ways we
can help them to grow by creating
incentives to bring synergistic busi-
nesses to Foster City with whom they
can conduct more cost effective busi-
ness. Incentives and investments for
growth will also be explored.
We are going to call this effort
Living Local and it will look at all
aspects of Foster City on an ongoing
basis and develop and implement
plans to work together with residents
and businesses to make Foster City a
great place for us all to live, work and
play. You will see this theme through-
out the upcoming arts and wine festi-
val as well.
I would be totally remiss if I did not
thank the Foster City Chamber of
Commerce and its CEO, Joanne
Bohigian, for all that she has and will
continue to do to work with our great
city staff to bring Sustainable Foster
City and Living Local to life. It is
these types of partnerships with the
city that make it so we are sure to
thrive in the future. I am greatly opti-
mistic about the direction we are head-
ing. I hope you are too.

T
hats the typical advice to graduates as they
accept their diplomas at high school or college
graduation ceremonies. Sometimes the speech is
inspirational and strikes a chord if the seniors are actu-
ally listening. Mostly they have their minds on just
getting off the hot stage and partying.
Today, many of the graduates are worried as to what
they will do next. If they are going to a university or
community college, the concern is often money
going into debt, earning enough with part-time work to
supplement family or scholarship income. Its also what
course to take, what to major in? Whats the end game?
Most really dont know
and just hope and pray it
will all work out. For the
college graduates, the
questions are more immi-
nent. What am I going to
do with my life? Can I find
a job? Ajob to further my
career or just a job to sur-
vive? Should I go to gradu-
ate school or take a year
off to travel, work, intern
or save the world? If I
know what I want to do, is
it a realistic goal? Can I
find the right job? Do I have the right credentials?
***
Its quite a difference scene from when I graduated from
high school and college. Then the answers seemed sim-
pler. Know what you want to do and get on with it. For
men and a few women, it was to decide on a career early
on, take relevant college courses and go to work as
soon as you graduate. Us Depression babies never
thought of dragging out college for five years or taking
a year off to travel. Generally, we were pretty practical
and not especially focused on saving the world. Our
highest priority was saving for ourselves and our fami-
l y. Yet the opportunities were not as abundant as they
are today.
Especially if you were an ethnic minority. There were
no scholarships or affirmative action programs to help
you obtain a college degree or a job afterwards.
Discrimination was rife. My high school was integrat-
ed. But not in the classroom. Black students were not
encouraged to take college prep courses. The only black
students in college were one or two athletes.
For most women, the goal was to get married and raise
a family or maybe teach for a couple of years. If you
were interested in a career first, the odds of finding what
you wanted in a male-dominated field were not good. You
could be a secretary, but thats not what you had in
mind. You could be a nurse, but forget about being a doc-
tor (Although a few succeeded). I wanted to work on a
newspaper but not on a society page. I was a journalism
major and even an editor of my college newspaper. That
helped a little but not enough to land me a job on a met-
ropolitan newspaper. So I did the unthinkable. I accept-
ed a job in public relations for a major corporation. It
turned out to be a great job.
When I had to leave because of family illness, my
boss asked me to find a replacement. I recommended a
colleague from my college paper. The last day of work
my boss told me I was outstanding (I believed him
because the company was creating a new job for me back
East). But, and here it came. My college friend was
going to make almost twice what I made because he was
a man. I didnt Lean In but I did ask why. Well, I was
told, you are probably going to get married, get preg-
nant and stay home and raise children. On the other
hand, hes going to get married and he will need the
money to support a family. I didnt argue. It was proba-
bly true, but it hurt.
***
I didnt want to attend my college graduation. But I did
it for my parents sake. I played bridge waiting for my
name to be called. I remember the speaker Clark Kerr,
the chancellor of the University of California at
Berkeley. I paid attention to what he said. It was inspir-
ing. I felt he was talking directly to me. Im embar-
rassed to say I cant remember what he said, but it made
me proud to be a graduate. It made the diploma I was
holding in my hand meaningful. And I was ready to take
on the world. I hope our June graduates feel the same
way. Congratulations and good luck!

BUSINESS 10
By Matthew Craft
NEW YORK The trends sound omi-
nous. Mortgages get more expensive and
both big companies and the federal govern-
ment pay more to borrow. The stock market
dips on suspicions that the Federal Reserve
could start pulling its support for the econ-
omy this year.
The thing is, these current trends fall
under the heading good news.
How so? Because record-low interest rates
are a legacy of the nancial crisis. And as
long as they disappear gradually, many in
the nancial world will be happy to see
them go.
It will mean were in a healthier econo-
my, says J. J. Kinahan, chief strategist at
TD Ameritrade.
Encouraging reports on housing and hir-
ing, along with a soaring stock market,
have led many to suspect that the Fed could
cut back on its bond buying in the coming
months. Thats the main reason traders have
been selling bonds over recent weeks, driv-
ing down prices and lifting the 10-year
Treasury yield to its highest level of the
year on Wednesday 2.23 percent.
When the Fed makes a move, many
investors probably wont consider it a vote
of confidence for the economy. Some
believe the stock market could plunge with-
out the Feds support. Others are likely to
move money out of the market because
theyre unsure about how everybody else
will react.
Maybe its bad for the stock market in
the short term, Kinahan says, but its
probably good for housing, manufacturing
and hiring. It will be better for everybody
overall.
For those who think the economy
remains fragile, the prospect of higher rates
still stirs up fears. They worry that rising
interest rates will derail the choppy eco-
nomic recovery.
The Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development warned of
the dangers in a report Wednesday. The
OECD estimates that a jump of 2 percentage
points in long-term interest rates could
sink the stock market, drive down home
prices and hurt companies by pushing the
value of the dollar up.
But there are plenty of reasons to think
none of that will play out as interest rates
edge higher.
One problem with these forecasts of dis-
aster is that they rely on the past, and his-
tory can be a misleading guide. Before the
Great Recession, rising rates usually fol-
lowed a stretch of rapid economic growth or
surging ination.
The OECDs report, for instance, looked
at the U.S. economy in 1994, a horrible
year for the bond market but not so bad for
the economy. Alan Greenspan raised the
Feds benchmark short-term rate from 3.25
percent to 5.5 percent in nine months. That
sharp hike upended the bond market, cost
investors billions and helped push Orange
County, Calif., into bankruptcy
Such a jump in interest rates might be
expected to throw an economy into reces-
sion, but in 1994 the economy had strong
underlying momentum, the OECD report
says. The unemployment rate actually
dropped that year, from 6.6 percent to 5.5
percent.
This is denitely not 1994, says Mark
Luschini, chief investment strategist at
Janney Montgomery Scott. Back then,
Greenspans rate hikes came as a shock, he
said.
By contrast, the Federal Reserve under
Ben Bernanke has stressed the need to give
markets plenty of notice before making a
move. And interest rates today remain close
to historic lows. The Feds short-term rate
is near zero.
You have to look at the big picture,
says Guy Cecala, head of Inside Mortgage
Finance, an industry publication.
Historically low rates are generally a sign
of a weak economy. When things improve
rates should rise noticeably.
The average rate for a 30-year mortgage
hit 3.81 percent this past week, the highest
in a year, according to Freddie Mac. Cecala
thinks theres a good chance it will cross
above 4 percent in the coming months
without causing any trouble for the housing
market. Record-low rates have supported
sales, he argues, but what really brought the
housing market back to life was a growing
condence among prospective buyers that
they werent about to lose their job.
You had to have comfort in your job and
know you had employment ahead of you
before buying a house, Cecala says.
Some investors have argued that the bond
market is a bubble, ready to pop when the
Fed steps away. Everyday investors have
much at stake, putting $1.3 trillion into
bond funds since 2009, according to
Strategic Insight, a rm which tracks mutu-
al funds.
Its a prediction that people have been
making for years, says Catherine Gordon,
who heads a research team at the mutual-fund
giant Vanguard. Warnings of a bond bubble
started shortly after the Fed began buying
bonds in late 2008. With ination low,
Gordon sees nothing to suggest it is any
closer to coming true.
Even so, any increase in long-term inter-
est rates pushes bond prices lower. Her
advice? Sit tight. Years may pass, but high-
er interest rates will eventually compensate
for a bond funds losses, she says.
Dont try to time the market, Gordon
says. Its better not to worry about what
your bonds or stocks are going to do next
month or next year.
Current market trends are good news

SAN MATEO Invisalign, a
San Jose company, uses 3-D print-
ing to make each mouthful of cus-
tomized, transparent braces.
Mackenzies Chocolates, a confec-
tioner in Santa Cruz, uses a 3-D
printer to pump out chocolate
molds. And earlier this year,
Cornell University researchers
used a 3-D printer, along with
injections of a special collagen
gel, to create a human-shaped ear.
Once a science-ction fantasy,
three-dimensional printers are
popping up everywhere from the
desks of home hobbyists to Air
Force drone research centers. The
machines, generally the size of a
microwave oven and costing $400
to more than $500,000, extrude
layer upon layer of plastics or
other materials, including metal,
to create 3-D objects with moving
parts.
Users are able to make just about
anything they like: iPad stands,
guitars, jewelry, even guns. But
experts warn this cool innovation
could soon turn controversial
because of safety concerns but
also the potential for the technol-
ogy to alter economies that rely
on manufacturing.
We believe that 3-D printing is
fundamentally changing the man-
ufacturing ecosystem in its entire-
ty how and where products are
made and by whom, said Peter
Weijmarshausen, CEO of New
York-based Shapeways, an online
company that makes and sells 3-D
printed products designed by indi-
viduals. Products include a deli-
cate, twig-like egg cup (cost:
$8.10) and a lamp that looks like
a nuclear mushroom cloud (cost:
$1,388.66).
Were on the verge of the next
industrial revolution, no doubt
about it, added Dartmouth
College business professor
Richard DAveni. In 25 years,
entire industries are going to dis-
appear. Countries relying on mass
manufacturing are going to nd
themselves with no revenues and
no jobs.
On ground, sea or air, when parts
break, new ones can be made on
the spot, and even the tools to
install them can be made, elimi-
nating the need for staging parts
in warehouses around the world,
said Jeff DeGrange, vice president
of Direct Digital Manufacturing at
Stratasys Inc., currently the indus-
try leader in a eld of about 50 3-D
printer companies.
Were going to see innovation
happening at a much higher rate,
introduction of products at a much
higher rate, said DeGrange.

House panel: Report finds
$50M for IRS conferences
By Alan Fram
WASHINGTON Agovernment watchdog has found that
the Internal Revenue Service spent about $50 million to
hold at least 220 conferences for employees between 2010
and 2012, a House committee said Sunday.
The chairman of that committee, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-
Calif., also released excerpts of congressional investiga-
tors interviews with employees of the IRS office in
Cincinnati. Issa said the interviews indicated the employees
were directed by Washington to subject tea party and other
conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status to tough
scrutiny.
The excerpts provided no direct evidence that Washington
had ordered that screening. The top Democrat on that panel,
Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, said none of the
employees interviewed have so far identied any IRS of-
cials in Washington as ordering that targeting.
The conference spending included $4 million for an August
2010 gathering in Anaheim, Calif., for which the agency did
not negotiate lower room rates, even though that is standard
government practice, according to a statement by the House
Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

ROWING DUO: TWO LOCAL TEENS HEADED TO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS >> PAGE 13
By Steve Overbey
ST. LOUIS Chad Gaudin
found himself in an unfamiliar
position Sunday afternoon.
The San Francisco right-hander
took the mound to start a game for
the rst time in over three years
and tossed six strong innings to
lead the Giants to a 4-2 win over
the St. Louis Cardinals, ending the
Giants seven-game road skid.
Brandon Belt hit a two-run
pinch-hit double to break a 2-2 tie
in the seventh. Buster Posey, who
entered the game in a 2 for 20 skid,
went 4 for 4 with two doubles to
pace an 11-hit attack.
Gaudin (1-1), in his rst start
since Sept. 28,
2009 as a mem-
ber of the New
York Yankees,
allowed four
hits and two
runs, both
coming on
David Freeses
homer in the
fourth. He
struck out ve and did not walk a
batter. Gaudin, who set the side
down in order in four of six
innings, is temporarily replacing
Ryan Vogelsong in the rotation.
Vogelsong broke several bones in
his right hand May 20.
It was nice, Gaudin said of the
starting assignment, I made a
couple of minor league starts, but
it was refreshing to get back out
there and do that.
San Francisco manager Bruce
Bochy said Gaudins performance
came at a perfect time for his
beleaguered staff.
He gave us a huge shot in the
arm, he said. He went out there
and threw quality strikes and actu-
ally went a little further than we
ever thought.
Bochy said before the game that
he was hoping to get four, maybe
ve innings from Gaudin.
Instead, Gaudin rolled through
six on 79 pitches, 55 strikes. In

Roger Federer of Switzerland serves to Gilles Simon of France during their mens singles match at the French Open tennis tournament at the
Roland Garros stadium in Paris Sunday.
By Howard Fendrich
PARIS Chasing a shot, Roger Federer
caught his right shoe in the French Opens
red clay, twisting that foot awkwardly and
tumbling to the ground.
Soon enough, he was in a real rut, in dan-
ger of his earliest exit from a Grand Slam
tournament in nine years.
Federer regrouped and restored order even-
tually, coming back from a two-sets-to-one
decit to beat 15th-seeded Gilles Simon of
France 6-1, 4-6, 2-6, 6-2, 6-3 Sunday in the
fourth round to reach his 36th consecutive
major quarternal.
I didnt hurt myself or anything, Federer
said. But maybe I did lose that touch of
condence for a little bit, and then I was out
of the match there for a bit.
During a rare stretch of mid-match medi-
ocrity from the owner of a record 17 Grand
Slam championships the 2009 French
Open trophy is part of his collection
Federer lost 10 of 13 games, including the
one in which he fell.
I didnt give him time, said Simon, a
one-time Grand Slam quarternalist. I man-
aged to start moving him around a bit.
But Simon, a former member of the top
10, could not keep Federer down. Able to
tidy up my play, as he put it, Federer went
from hitting more than twice as many
unforced errors as Simon in the second and
third sets, 25-12, to generating more than
twice as many winners in the third and
fourth, 29-14.
When things turn nasty, Simon said,
he responds well.
Federer said the match will give him a lot
of info heading into his quarterfinal
against another Frenchman, No. 6-seeded
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Federers turnaround was not the biggest
of the day. Not even close. That distinction
belonged to 32nd-seeded Tommy Robredo
of Spain, who is specializing in come-
backs: He is the rst man in 86 years to win
three Grand Slam matches in a row after
dropping the rst two sets (Frances Henri
Cochet pulled that off at Wimbledon in
1927).
Robredo did it in the second round
Wednesday. He did it in the third round
Friday. And then he did it in the fourth round
Sunday, defeating No. 11 Nicolas Almagro
6-7 (5), 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. Robredo trailed
4-1 in the third set, 4-2 in the fourth and 2-
0 in the fth.
Nobody dreams of doing such things,
said Robredo, who dropped to his knees,
leaned forward and wept after winning.
Almagros take?
I dont know what adjective to use, he
said.
Robredos rst French Open quarternal
since 2009 he missed the tournament in
2011 and 2012 because of left leg problems
that required surgery will be against
another Spaniard, No. 4 David Ferrer, who

As sweep
White Sox
By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND Oaklands pitchers are on a
roll again and the Athletics are winning
with a similar formula to the one that carried
them to a surprising ALWest crown last fall.
Josh Donaldsons sixth-inning sacrice
y ended a career-best 28-inning scoreless
streak by Chicago starter Chris Sale, and
the As shut out the White Sox for the second
time in three games with a 2-0 win Sunday
for a weekend sweep.
We know that these guys have been scuf-
ing as of late and we wanted to come out
and we wanted to bury them, As catcher
Derek Norris said. The last thing you want
to do is give a team thats struggling a
chance to come back and make a run.
Jarrod Parker (4-6) hung tough in an
impressive pitchers duel with Sale to win
back-to-back starts for the rst time this
year. The right-hander matched his season
high with seven strikeouts in 6 1-3 innings
as Oakland won for the ninth time in 11
Kuchar holds
on for win at
the Memorial
By Doug Ferguson
DUBLIN, Ohio Most of the perks from
winning the Memorial were evident to Matt
Kuchar soon after his 20-foot birdie putt
tumbled into the nal hole Sunday.
He looked just beyond the 18th green to
where 3-year-old son Carson was giving a
high-ve to tournament host Jack Nicklaus.
He had the rst multiple-win season of his
PGA Tour career. Kuchar went to a career-
best No. 4 in the world ranking. He is all but
assured of returning to Muireld Village in
October as part of the Presidents Cup team.
To walk off the green and to greet Mr.
Nicklaus and have him congratulate me,
thats something Ill certainly never for-
get, he said.
Perhaps the greatest benet was one only

games.
The As swept a third straight home series
to run their unbeaten run in the Coliseum to
eight games, the longest winning streak at
home since a 10-gamer from Aug. 11 to
Sept. 1, 2006.
Two days after 40-year-old Bartolo
Colons ve-hit gem Friday night, Parker
shined.
I think its something where we feed off
each other, Parker said. This team is built
around pitching and defense.
Sale (5-3) lost for the rst time in six
starts since an April 18 defeat at Toronto.
The White Sox (24-30) lost their season-
high sixth in a row and matched a season-
worst by falling to six games below .500.
Sales 28-inning stretch without allow-
ing a run was the longest by a White Sox
pitcher since Wilson Alvarez went 31 score-
less innings from Sept. 11-27, 1993.
The streak by Sale nearly ended last
Tuesday, when he pitched three innings
against the Cubs before the game was rained
out keeping the run going for at least one
more start as the rainout stats dont count.
Im glad its over so we can stop talking
about it and get back to normal baseball
business and go to Seattle and turn this
thing around, Sale said. I just at out got
outpitched by Parker. Losing a game like
this is tough, being shut out. But dont
think for a second that Ive lost faith or
anybody else in here has lost faith in what
we know we can do.
Coco Crisp drew a leaodff walk in the
sixth, then Jed Lowrie singled as Crisp went
to third. Sale received a mound visit from
pitching coach Don Cooper before facing
Yoenis Cespedes. The Cuban star was called
out on an 80 mph curveball, then
Donaldson had plenty on his yball to right
to bring home Crisp.
Crisp scored again in the eighth when
freshly called up center elder Jordan Danks
misplayed Lowries single for an error.
Facing a left-handed starter for the sev-
enth time in 10 games, Oakland did just
enough a day after stranding 18 runners in a
4-3, 10-inning victory.
The slumping White Sox missed more
chances in the nale.
Adam Dunn hit a two-out double in the
fourth that hit at the top of the wall as cen-
ter elder Crisp tried to make a play but did-
nt track it to where it landed and was not in
the right place.
But Parker struck out Casper Wells to end
the inning moments later. Parker allowed
two hits in 6 1-3 innings with two walks.
Jerry Blevins got one out in the sixth, Ryan
Cook struck out three of the four batters he
faced, then Grant Balfour nished the three-
hit shutout for his 13th save in as many
chances and 31st in a row dating to last sea-
son.
Watching the starters do their thing has
been fun for Balfour and his bullpen mates.
We love it down there, he said. It
makes our jobs a lot easier. Parkers been on
a little role here now.
Sale lost for the rst time in his career
against an AL West opponent, dropping to
10-1. He would have become the only pitch-
er in baseball history to win his rst 11
career decisions against the division,
according to STATS.
He is the rst White Sox pitcher to go six
or more innings with two or fewer earned
runs in seven straight starts since Gavin
Floyd from June 8 to July 10, 2010.
Its tough when youre a pitcher and you
cant give up a run, White Sox skipper
Robin Ventura said.

Kuchar could feel condence.
And thats a big deal with the U.S. Open
approaching.
Kuchar missed only one fairway and held
off a hard-charging Kevin Chappell over the
last three holes to close with a 4-under 68
for a two-shot victory. The win came one
week after he was runner-up by one shot at
the Colonial.
Great golf breeds more great golf,
Kuchar said. Winning tournaments breeds
winning more tournaments. Anytime you
can get comfortable playing in that nal
group, nishing off a tournament, winning
a tournament is a huge amount of con-
dence. Heading into Merion, Ill have a lot
of condence.
Im looking forward to my chances there
at Merion.
He sure played the kind of golf that goes a
long way at the U.S. Open, which starts
June 13 at Merion Golf Club outside
Philadelphia.
Muireld Village was such a demanding
test that Tiger Woods had two triple bogeys
in the same tournament for the rst time
since 1997 and wound up with the second-
highest tournament score in his career at 8-
over 296.
It happens. It happens to us all, Woods
said. Go home next week and practice.
Not having Woods around didnt make the
task any easier for Kuchar.
Right when he thought the tournament
was in hand, Chappell birdied three of his
last four holes. Two shots behind going to
the 18th, Chappell stuffed his approach to
tap-in range for birdie. Kuchar needed only
two putts from 20 feet for the win, and
instead he rolled the birdie putt into the
hole and thrust his st into the air as he
smiled.
Hes always smiling, and he had good rea-
son on this day.
Wheeler wins at Fresno
Although Carlos Beltran only played one
game for the Cardinals over the weekend,
the Giants were haunted by the infamous
Beltran trade on two fronts.
Not only did the seven-time All-Star go 2
for 4 in the nightcap of a Saturday double-
header sweep of San Francisco. At the
minor-league level, former Giants prospect
Zack Wheeler who the Giants dealt at the
2011 trade deadline for Beltran earned the
win over Giants Triple-Aafliate Fresno.
Wheeler upped his record to 4-1 for Mets
Triple-Aafliate Las Vegas, as the 51s edged
the Grizzlies 2-1. The right-hander allowed
just three hits over six innings while strik-
ing out six. Another former Giants rst-
round pick, journeyman reliever David
Aardsma, notched the save for Las Vegas.
Wheeler has been absolutely electric this
season, throwing an easy 95 mph with uid
mechanics. With 59 strikeouts, he is cur-
rently tied for sixth in the Pacic Coast
League with Grizzlies right-hander Chris
Heston.
Fresno and Las Vegas are currently in a
battle to stay out of the cellar in the PCL
Pacic Southern Division, but that standing
isnt as bad as it sounds. Each of the four
teams in the Pacic Southern boast records
of .500 or better. The Grizzlies entered into
play yesterday in last place with a 29-28
record, just 2 1/2 games back of rst-place
Oakland afliate Sacramento.

National Championships in
Oakridge, Tenn. June 7 in the

Kelly, 17, handles the stroke
seat while Karr-Warner, 18, works
the bow seat. The actual boat is a
double shell that measures
approximately 20 feet, and about
12- to 14-inches wide.
They have already won gold
medals at the Western Regional
Doubles Rowing Championships.
Every May, Norcal Crew sends all
of their athletes to the Southwest
Junior District Rowing
Championships, a qualifying
regatta for the Youth Invitational
National Championships. Six
days a week, for nine months, stu-
dents train for one regatta in the
district championships. Any
crews that qualify in the top three
positions head to the national
championships. There are thirty-
three high school rowing pro-
grams that compete at the District
Championships. Crews must
place in the top three of the 33
teams in each event to qualify.
With support from family, friends
and head coach Nathan Walker, the
girls have now shifted their focus
toward their ultimate goal. The
U.S. National Championships
will have ve rowing districts plus
12 qualifying regattas like New
York Championships,
Philadelphia, New England and
Scholastic Championships.
Success on this level would propel
them toward an even higher
plateau, the world champi-
onships.
Allison Frykman, Norcal Crew
Mens head coach and executive
director, is also a former Stanford
Crew member. She is elated about
the girls recent success and bright
future. She is passionate about
Norcal Crew and the outlet that it
provides to students.
We provide the resources, sup-
port, and opportunity to turn stu-
dents into athletes, said
Frykman.
Frykman was a junior when she
and six other girls at Palo Alto
High School started a team.
Coincidentally, her father Richard
Lyon, the creator of the rst ever
rowing machine called the
Gamut, introduced her to rowing
at an early age. Norcal Crew is a
nonprofit that started out as
Silicon Valley Crew in the fall
2000. In 2004, the directors for
Silicon Valley and Bear Island
Aquatic Center, which had a junior
crew decided to combine the two
teams because they were essential-
ly competing for the same athletes
and water space along the Port of
Redwood City. For 10 years,
Norcal Crew has been the junior
program at Bear Island Aquatic
Center. Students from 30 different
high schools including Palo Alto,
Menlo-Atherton, Carlmont, Los
Altos, Sequoia, Aragon, San
Mateo and St. Francis participate
in the program. Practices are held
from 4 p.m. until 6:30 p.m.
Rowing speed is paramount for
continuity, so practices reflect
competitive scenarios.
Consistency is key.
The best way to get fast at row-
ing is by rowing, said Frykman.
Short of gale-force winds and
lightning, we get on the water.
One of the most effective tools
used to gauge an athletes individ-
ual progress with numerical feed-
back is a ergometer. Its also use-
ful for teaching the body how to
complete the rowing stroke with-
out worrying about whats hap-
pening in the water. A2,000 meter
test, which is the international
standard race distance in the sport,
is also given to measure perform-
ance. Typically, the fastest light-
weight women perform in nine
minutes, and six minutes for the
men. Coaches decide who should
be placed in a varsity, junior var-
sity or third varsity boat based on
these results. Rowing is 80 per-
cent aerobic and 20 percent anaer-
obic. Therefore, most of the train-
ing is focused on low-heart rate,
long-distance rowing which
builds blood network and oxygen
consumption ability. Rowing is
one of the most physically chal-
lenging sports in existence, so
coaches provide exercises in
weight training and running to
build strength and stamina.
Marathon running, cross-country
running, skiing and rowing
require the greatest VO2 max, or
maximal oxygen uptake during
intense exercise.
With success comes challenges,
but Kelly and Karr-Warner exem-
plify determination. Like many
student athletes, they had to nd a
way to organize their obligations
with school, home and athletics.
Its imperative they manage and
prioritize their schedule, especial-
ly because of the mental and phys-
ical rigors of practice and compe-
tition.
This season hasnt been smooth
sailing for the pair. Kelly and
Karr-Warner, both honor students,
realized that maintaining a bal-
ance proved far more challenging.
A year ago, they raced the same
boat in the same event and came in
last place. Instead of throwing in
the towel, they realized improve-
ment was needed. They dedicated
themselves by attending practice
regularly, and worked hard with
each other and teammates.
Collectively, they became an
inspiration for the rest of the team
to join them in extra workouts.
They developed a renewed pas-
sion, dedication, and desire to
improve, Frykman said. Its
magical to see their progress.
They stayed focused and made their
dream of heading to the national
championships a reality through
hard work.

Sending its highest-prole arm to
the mound couldnt help USF yester-
day, as the Dons were eliminated from
Regional play with a 6-1 loss to
Oregon.
After playing 24 innings in two
extra-inning games to open the
Regional tournament in Eugene,
Oregon, the Dons were hoping for a
big showing from right-hander Alex
Balog. The junior gures to be USFs
top draftee in this weeks Major League
Baseball draft. But Balog suffered
through bouts of wildness and poor
defense, ultimately soldiering through
6 1/3 innings while yielding ve runs,
though only two were earned.
USF committed three errors in the
game, all of which occurred in run-
scoring innings for Oregon.
We just didnt play defense, and we
didnt throw enough quality strikes,
Giarratano said. We walked a few guys
in key situations, and then right after
the walk was an error. Just back-to-
back mistakes. Its something we
havent done all year long. That just
compiled, and then we did it again.
That really just took us out of the
game.
The Dons took an early lead when
senior leadoff hitter Justin Maffei hit a
solo home run to lead off the rst
inning. It would be the only run USF
scored off Oregon starter Cole Irvin
though. The freshman left-hander went
the distance, allowing just six hits
while striking out nine.
Offensively we just werent able to
score enough runs to overcome multi-
ple mistakes, Giarratano said. So, I
think thats what kind of doomed us in
the end.
USF scored just seven runs over three
games in the double-elimination tour-
ney. The Dons fell 3-2 in 11 innings to
Rice in Fridays opener, before down-
ing South Dakota State 4-3 in 13
innings on Saturday. After Saturdays

to lead off the third, as the Cards sent 12 hit-
ters to the plate in the frame. After scoring
the rst run of the inning, Descalso drove
home the last one with an RBI knock to left
eld.
The Cardinals triumphed 8-0 in the dou-
bleheader opener, then took the nightcap 7-
1 by defeating lefty Madison Bumgarner.
Theyve got shut-you-down-type stuff on
any given day, Descalso said. So we were
able to get Cain and back him into a corner
there in the third inning. Then against
Bumgarner, we had a couple innings where
we got a couple runs off him. And our pitch-
ing did a great job of limiting the Giants
(offense) in each game.
ASan Carlos native, Descalso has settled
in as an integral part of the Cardinals
infield. After winning a World Series
Championship with St. Louis in his rookie
campaign of 2011, he earned his rst open-
ing-day start in 2012, and grinded out a .227
batting average while appearing in 143 reg-
ular-season games.
With the Cardinals organization produc-
ing a depth of ineld talent in recent years,
however, Descalso seemed destined for a
strict utility role heading into 2013. Even
after the Cards dealt second baseman Skip
Shumaker to the Dodgers, it seemed manag-
er Mike Matheny was intent on giving the
opening-day nod at second base to the ver-
satile Matt Carpenter.
However, with third baseman David
Freese sustaining a back injury late in
spring training, the Cards took advantage
of their moving parts to slide Carpenter
over to third. The move enabled Descalso to
make his second consecutive opening-day
start.
But things quickly went south for the grit-
ty left-handed hitter, as Descalso scufed
through an abysmal April. He tabbed just a
.164 average over the rst month of the sea-
son, with four of his nine hits during the
month coming in one game against the
Diamondbacks on April 3.
You want to get off to a good start, and
then maybe you struggle a little bit, and you
press, Descalso said. And then before you
know it youre hitting .165 and youve got
fty at bats. Then youre like alright,
youve got to relax a little bit. Just go up
there and hit the ball hard, and good things
will happen.
Good things have happened as of late.
Since the outset of May, Descalso has hit at
a .378 clip, including a pair of three-hit
games. And after being relegated to a bench
role soon after Freeses return to action on
April 8, Descalso has earned seven starts in
the Cards last 12 games.
I think in the month of April I found
myself behind in the count a lot, swinging
some pitchers pitches, Descalso said. In
the last month or so Ive been doing a better
job of getting pitches to hit, getting into
hitters counts, and just going up there with
a better game plan.
Despite a wealth of sluggers throughout
their lineup, thats why the Cardinals thrive
as a offensive force. Even their mashers
have a sound game plan. The Cardinals are
currently third in the National League in
team batting average (.267) and runs scored
(267), while ranking 13th in strikeouts
(386).
If you look at our two-through-six,
youve got [Carlos Beltran, Matt Holliday,
Allen Craig, Yadier Molina, and Freese],
Descalso said. Thats going to be daunting
for any pitcher to try to get through those
guys. Everyones prepared and has a good
plan going up there. So, we try to make it as
tough as possible. And going through the
middle of our order is no easy task.
With the recent dynasty of the Giants in
having won two World Championships in
three years, the Cardinals arent far off from
realizing a dynasty of their own. After win-
ning it all in 2011, St. Louis returned to the
National League Championship Series last
season, only to fall in seven games in a
spirited series with the Giants. And after
taking two of three games from the Giants
over the weekend, the Cardinals boast a 37-
19 record the best record in all of base-
ball.
Its great to come to the park every day
on a winning team, and show up to spring
training every year, knowing that the goal
is to get to the World Series, Descalso said.
Our goal is to get to the World Series and to
win it. They do a great job of nding talent-
ed players that play the game hard, and play
the game the right way. So, its meshed pret-
ty well in the time that Ive been here, and
its equaled success on the eld.

eliminated No. 23 Kevin Anderson of South
Africa 6-3, 6-1, 6-1.
Tsonga, the 2008 Australian Open runner-
up, got past Viktor Troicki 6-3, 6-3, 6-3.
Tsonga is 3-9 against Federer, but he did
come back from a two-set hole to win their
2011 Wimbledon quarternal.
I know he can beat me, and he knows he
can beat me, Federer said. But Im going
to make sure that doesnt happen.
So far, all of the top three men in the tour-
nament No. 1 Novak Djokovic, No. 2
Federer and No. 3 Rafael Nadal, the seven-
time champion have had issues. Nadal
lost a set in each of his rst two matches;
Djokovic needed his upper right arm treated
by a trainer Saturday.
And what about the woman who is every-
ones pick to win the title, No. 1 Serena
Williams? The 15-time major champion has
been nearly awless, losing a total of 10
games through four matches. She beat No.
15 Roberta Vinci 6-1, 6-3 to extend her win-
ning streak to 28 and set up a quarternal
against Svetlana Kuznetsova, the 2009
champion who is unseeded this year and
defeated No. 8 Angelique Kerber 6-4, 4-6, 6-
3.
Its a shame I had to face Williams here,
Vinci said. Shes the strongest player, by
far.
Vincis had more success in doubles, win-
ning three of the last four major titles with
Sara Errani, last years runner-up to Maria
Sharapova in singles at Roland Garros. The
fth-seeded Errani said she felt pain like a
knife in her midsection and had difculty
breathing in the rst set Sunday against No.
20 Carla Suarez Navarro, but after being
treated by a trainer wound up winning 5-7,
6-4, 6-3. Erranis quarternal opponent will
be 2012 Wimbledon runner-up Agnieszka
Radwanska, who eliminated 2008 French
Open champion Ana Ivanovic 6-2, 6-4.
Federer changed the direction of things
against Simon pretty quickly, exhorting
himself more than usual with st-shaking
and yells of Come on!
From 2-2 in the fourth set, Federer won
seven consecutive games. That was pretty
much that, although the nal game sure was
tense. Simon held two break points, but
Federer erased one with a service winner, the
other with a big serve that set up a putaway.
On Federers second match point, Simon
pushed a backhand wide on a 10-stroke
exchange.
FRENCH
relief appearances, Gaudin earned his rst
win since Oct. 2, 2012 when he was a reliev-
er with the Miami Marlins.
I wanted to go out there and give the team
a chance to win and also give them some
innings, Gaudin said. I thought I was
throwing aggressively and pitching with
what I had.
The Giants offense, which had scored just
seven runs in its previous six road games,
gave Gaudin enough offensive support.
Belt slammed the rst pitch from reliever
Randy Choate into the gap in left-center to
bring in Brandon Crawford and Gregor
Blanco for a 4-2 lead in the seventh inning.
Crawford began the rally with a single off
St. Louis rookie Tyler Lyons (2-1).
Closer Sergio Romo recorded four outs for
his 15th save in 17 opportunities. He got
Freese to ground out with Allen Craig on
rst to end the game.
San Francisco scored single runs in the
second and third off Lyons. Posey and
Hunter Pence hit back-to-back doubles in
the third.
I hit a couple balls hard that found a cou-
ple of holes, Posey said. So now, its just
a matter of keeping on.
Posey raised his average 15 points to
.308 with the four-hit effort.
Freese tied the game with his third homer
of the season. He has hit safely in a career-
tying 12 successive games.
Im seeing the baseball and trying to
consistently hit the ball hard somewhere,
he said. Its all about the approach at the
plate.
Lyons allowed four runs and eight hits in
6 2-3 innings in his third start. He allowed
one run over seven innings in winning his
two previous starts.
I was inconsistent from the beginning,
Lyons said. I was ghting myself, just try-
ing my best to eat up a few innings.
Despite the victory, the Giants have
dropped six of their last eight..
A much-needed win after yesterday,
Bochy said.
St. Louis beat the Giants 8-0 and 7-1 in a
day-night doubleheader on Saturday.
St. Louis manager Mike Matheny and
catcher Yadier Molina were ejected in the
third inning by first base umpire Clint
Fagan after Molina was called out on a close
play at rst. Molina slammed his helmet to
the ground after the call and was immediate-
ly thrown out for the third time in his career.
Matheny came out to protect Molina and
was ejected for the third time as a manager.
I know I was out, Molina said. I was
just upset with myself.
NOTES: St. Louis has used eight pitchers
age 25 and younger this season including
Lyons, 25. .... The Cardinals host Arizona
in a four-game series beginning Monday.
Lance Lynn (7-1, 2.91) will face Trevor
Cahill (3-5, 2.88). The Giants have an off
day Monday before hosting Toronto in a
two-game set starting Tuesday. Tim
Lincecum (3-5, 5.12) goes against Josh
Johnson (0-1, 6.86). San Francisco OF
Angel Pagan missed his eighth successive
game with a strained left hamstring. ...
Giants IF Pablo Sandoval, who last played
on Thursday, could be out as much as a week
with a strain in his left foot. ... St. Louis OF
Jon Jay broke out of a 1-for-27 skid with a
third-inning single.

DOVER, Del. With one big move,
Tony Stewart put Juan Pablo Montoya and a
sluggish season well behind him.
After a mundane start, Stewart is back in
Victory Lane and in the thick of Chase
contention.
Stewarts outside pass on Montoya with
three laps left was enough to win Sunday at
Dover International Speedway and snap a
30-race winless streak.
Our guys at our shop have been dig-
ging, Stewart said. None of these guys get
down. We have been down, but they havent
gotten down. That is what carries you to
days like today at the end of the day.
Stewart was stuck in 20th in the standings
and didnt even have a top-nish before he
rallied in Dover. Stewart hadnt won on the
concrete mile track since he swept both Cup
races in 2000.
The No. 14 team erupted in celebration in
the pits after winning for the rst time since
last July in Daytona.
It was a long time coming for the two-
time Cup champ.
Its been such a tough year, Stewart
said.
It got a little easier Sunday. Stewart stout-
ly defended crew chief
Steve Addingtons per-
formance this year and
thanked Hendrick
Motorsports for supply-
ing engines to his
Stewart-Haas Racing
team.
He also knows their
work is far from nished.
We realize this could
put the 14 team in contention to make the
Chase, he said. Thats not good enough.
Meaning, he wants to not only make the
12-driver eld, but know hes a top con-
tender to win another championship. His
48th career win pushed him to 16th in the
points standings and aided his cause for a
wild-card spot.
The two drivers in the 11th to 20th spot
in the standings with the most wins earn a
slot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup cham-
pionship. Stewart is the only driver in
those spots with a win.
Its been very hard when you have the
start of the season that we had, Stewart
said. You start questioning, you start
doubting, you start looking for answers
that you dont have the knowledge to diag-
nose. That makes you feel very helpless at
times.

win, Giarratano was critical of his
teams offensive production.
Offensively our guys havent
given us a comfort level ever
[through the first two games]
weve played, Giarratano said.
So its been rough.
Oregon overtook USF in the
middle innings, with single runs
in the third, fourth, and fth, then
with two more in the seventh. In
the third, two infield errors by
Dons third baseman Bob
Cruikshank helped the Ducks tie it
on a sacrifice fly by Mitchell
Tolman to score Tyler
Baumgartner.
In the fourth, Oregon took the
lead for good on a solo home run
by Shaun Chase. Baumgartner
added insurance by leading off the
fth with a solo homer. Then in
the seventh, Oregon all but put it
away, taking advantage of a Balog
error to open the frame, followed
by an RBI double from
Baumgartner, and an RBI elders
choice off the bat of Tolman.
USF pinch hitter Reyn
Nagamine made the nal out, bat-
tling for eight pitches before
striking out to end the Dons sea-
son.
Throughout the series, Maffei
went 4 for 14 at the plate, while
junior cleanup hitter Zack Turner
went 4 for 13. Both are former
Serra standouts who transferred to
USF from Caada College.
The Dons have now reached the
Regional playoffs three times is
program history, previously doing
so in 2006 and 2011. They have
never advanced to the Super
Regional play. USF nishes the
2013 season with a 35-24 record.
Just like everybody, we were
hoping we would have a chance to
play in Omaha, Giarratano said.
More importantly, my expecta-
tions were to see that the kids did
well in school, and competed hard
each and every day. So, Im proud
of that effort. We graduate six sen-
iors. Theyll all move on. Well
have four or ve guys taken in the
draft, and theyll move on to play
professional baseball. Just proud
of their effort, and what they do,
and how they do it at an elite
level.

Ending a two-year drought on
the LPGA Tour wasnt on Karrie
Webbs mind in the ShopRite
LPGA Classic. Winning one for
her seriously ill grandmother was.
Webb, who nearly returned home
to Australia on Thursday when her
parents informed her that her
grandmother, Marion Webb, was
near death, delivered some wel-
come medicine Sunday, rallying
from ve shots down for a two-
stroke victory and her 39th career
tour win most among active
players.
She talked to me on the phone
and said she didnt want me to
come home, and
that I had to win
one for her, the
t e a r y - e y e d
Webb said after
digging deep to
overcome the
blustery condi-
tions that
derailed almost
everyone in the
eld on wind-whipped Bay Course
at the Stockton Seaview Hotel and
Golf Club.
Webb knew winning wasnt
going to be easy. While she has
had occasional good rounds on this
course across the bay from the
Atlantic City casino resort, the
Hall of Famer has never really seri-
ously contended on the nal day.
I was like, this isnt the one
that you tell me that I have to win
for you because I was like, Ive
never really even had a shot to win
here, Webb said. So when I got
off to that start, I was like, Oh, my
God. Well, when she started to
make a turn for the better, my dad
said, Look, shes going to make
it, so the pressure is off, you know.
He felt for me after she told me I
had to win it for her. But you
know, I was in contention and in
the lead today. I was like, Wow, I
might actually be able to do this
for her.
Webb won by shooting a mag-
nicent 3-under 68 to nish with a
4-under 209 total, tying the high-
est winning score at the course.
Playing in wind gusting to 25 to
30 mph, Webb had two birdies, an
eagle and a bogey, capping the
round with a 5-foot birdie at the
par-5 nal hole. She also made six
par-saving putts of 5-6 feet in
matching the best round of the day.
It never gets old. It never gets
any easier, either, said Webb,
who won the Australian Ladies
Masters in February. Today was
extremely tough, and Im just glad
that I pulled it out. I think coming
down I knew I needed to make one
birdie, I thought, because I didnt
think I could just par in and feel
comfortable, so great birdie on the
last.
Shanshan Feng was second.
Feng, who led by three shots enter-
ing the nal round, struggled in the
wind and nished with a 75.

DATEBOOK 17
I
ts the question none of us want to
consider: When is the right time to
say goodbye to a loved animal com-
panion? Were often asked by local resi-
dents and friends to weigh in on this and
we seldom feel comfortable giving a den-
itive answer. Instead, we try to help peo-
ple come to a decision on their own. We
may ask them to consider their pets quali-
ty of life. For example, do they still enjoy
the things they have always enjoyed, like
going for a walk, eating, getting snacks,
chasing a string and receiving your atten-
tion? Does it appear they have much pain
when they move and go about their daily
activities? Are they able to go to the bath-
room without complications? There is no
chart that says if you answered yes or no
to these questions, its time to say good-
bye. The decision is entirely personal and
individual. We do know that many people
wait too long, and understand why. For
one, even when our pets are near the very
end, we see signs of their younger, health-
ier times and are encouraged. We see a
good day mixed in with several bad days.
For two, making that decision is incredi-
bly difcult. As a society, we choose to
say goodbye to a loved pet when their
quality of life is diminished, but we keep
the people in our lives alive as long as we
possibly can. While we cant make this
decision for you, we can offer some help
once youve reached it. You can bring your
loved pet to PHS/SPCA. Of all the services
we provide, our euthanasia services are
among the most appreciated. And, for pet
owners having a difcult time after losing
a pet, we offer a free Pet Loss Grief
Support group which meets monthly and
is led by a professional counselor. For
more information, call 650/340-7022,

3 veteran storm chasers
killed by Oklahoma tornado
Three veteran storm chasers died
doing what they loved: roaming
the Great Plains in search of dan-
gerous storms like the one in
Oklahoma that ended their nal
pursuit.
Tim Samaras, his son Paul and
colleague Carl Young, who
through the years had shared dra-
matic videos with television view-
ers and weather researchers, died
Friday night when an EF3 tornado
with winds up to 165 mph turned
on them near El Reno, Okla. They
were among 13 people who died in
the storm in Oklahoma City and
its suburbs.
Their deaths in pursuit of the
storm are believed to be the rst
among scientic researchers while
chasing tornadoes, the Storm
Prediction Center in Norman,
Okla., said.
They put themselves in harms
way so that they can educate the
public about the destructive power
of these storms, said Chris West,
the undersheriff in Canadian
County, where the men died.
Tim Samaras, 54, and Paul
Samaras, 24, both of Bennett,
Colo., were trapped in their car
along with Young, 45, of South
Lake Tahoe, which straddles the
California and Nevada border.

LOS ANGELES With its supercharged
muscle cars, Fast & Furious 6 raced to rst
place at the box ofce for the second consecu-
tive weekend.
The Universal Pictures release is expected to
add another $34.5 million to its North
American ticket sales, keeping it in the No. 1
spot after opening to more than $120 million
over the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
Box ofce analyst Paul Dergarabedian said
the sixth installment in the street-racing fran-
chise was preordained to be No. 1 again. But
in a season of sequels, three original lms were
among the most popular at cinemas over the
weekend.
Ordinarily, summer and sequel go together,
he said. This is a step in the direction of orig-
inality.
Among the new original offerings was the
magic-heist thriller Now You See Me, which
exceeded industry expectations to debut in sec-
ond place with $28.1 million. The
Lionsgate/Summit Entertainment release fea-
tures an ensemble cast, including Morgan
Freeman, Michael Caine and Woody Harrelson,
in a tale of illusionists who rob banks and
share the spoils with their audience.
It certainly has been magic for us to watch
the numbers this weekend, said Richie Fay,
Lionsgates president of domestic distribution,
who attributes the lms success to a brilliant
marketing campaign and positive word of
mouth.
After Earth, the futuristic caper starring
father-and-son team Will Smith and Jaden
Smith, opened to $27 million, good for third
place but still disappointing for Sony Pictures.
Its below our expectations here domestical-
l y, said Rory Bruer, Sonys president of world-
wide distribution. But he anticipates it will
play well overseas.
We feel very good about the potential of the
lm on a worldwide basis, he said. It will
open 60 countries next week.
Foxs animated Epic and Paramounts Star
Trek: Into Darkness tied for fourth place with
$16.4 million each, while The Hangover Part
III was fth with $15.9 million.
Also edging into the top 10 was the Indian
lm Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. It opened in
162 theaters in the United States and Canada
Friday and earned $1.6 million, good for
eighth place.
Its very unusual, but Bollywood films
sometimes do crack into the top 20 or top 15
(domestically), Dergarabedian said. Theyre
usually not in that many theaters, but they
make a big splash.

BART agreed to construct the BART tube
underground through South San Francisco
and San Bruno. In 1990, the process of
building BART through San Bruno began
and it would take eight years to complete
the preliminary processes. Artichoke Joes ,
largest employer in San Bruno, would lose
prime parking rights along the old # 40 line
right-of- way, where Dennis Sammut was
renting a space for his casino business.
Eventually, he razed many buildings adja-
cent to his casino and built a new ground-
level parking lot for his business.
In May 1992, groundbreaking cere-
monies were held at Colma for the nished
BART terminal. It was completed in
December 1995 and it was opened in
February 1996.
On Monday, Dec. 10, 1997, BART bids
are opened and were $498 million. They
went to Tutor/Saliba/Slattery Consortium,
who also had the airport contract. The $498
million is higher than the projected $460
million. The project is expected to begin in
July with utility line construction.
In December 1997, railroad ties and old
Southern Pacic railroad tracks are being
taken out along the route of BART, espe-
cially in San Bruno where Huntington
Avenue will be realigned along the former
Southern Pacic and # 40 line right-of-way.
The new Huntington Avenue is to be beauti-
ed with trees and shrubs and this is to be
paid by BART but, south of Interstate 380,
the city must pay for improvements (The
residents along the street must pay for
undergrounding of the utilities, which
began in mid-1998).
In April 1998, BART held groundbreak-
ing ceremonies in Millbrae, adjacent to the
newly completed overpass, for its inter-
model station which will serve BART,
Caltrain and SamTrans.
In a Sept. 1, 1998 Millbrae/San Bruno
Sun newspaper article, Cyprus Lawn in
Colma was haggling with BART about
money it wanted for BART to go under the
cemetery. The other cemeteries have settled
the issue, but Cyprus Lawn is concerned that
BART will disturb the peaceful image the
cemetery projects.
On Saturday, Dec. 7, 2002, at 11 a.m., the
Board of Directors of the San Francisco Bay
Area Rapid Transit District and the Board of
Directors of the San Mateo County Transit
District and the city San Bruno had an open
house and art unveiling for the new San
Bruno BARTStation.

out over several scal years and expected to
be short-lived.
Another large piece of the governors
budget focuses on the Health System as it
operates under the Affordable Care Act.
Rather than have counties shoulder the
responsibility for expanding Medi-Cal,
Brown suggested a state-based approach.
The Health System thinks this is the right
starting point but is concerned about shifts
of realignment funding, particularly as the
county will still be responsible for the indi-
gent and those who do not qualify under the
act.
Also, approximately 3,630 recipients of
in-home supportive services will be affect-
ed by an 8 percent across-the-board reduc-
tion in hours beginning July 1.
Under the proposed budget, Human
Services Agency will assume greater
responsibility for some programs like
CalWorks and CalFresh but the state will
continue setting eligibility, grant levels
and rates which is why the local department
opposes the proposed realignment. The
result would leave the county fiscally
responsible for programs it does not con-
trol, Maltbie wrote in his summary.
Funding would also be lowered for transi-
tioning Healthy Families children in to
Medi-Cal and ve years of underfunding of
children and family services programs
wont be overcome by increased revenue
growth estimated in the budget.
On the positive side of the ledger, the
county will receive approximately $1.2
million extra for CalWorks services and
$180,000 more for child care services.
The gures for funding under 2011 public
safety realignment continue to change, too.
Projected growth has dropped by roughly
half since January which will affect the pre-
vious county allocation recommendation of
$978,005. The Probation Department is
expected to receive $541,986 for demon-
strating success in cutting recidivism.

COUNTY
The California Public Employees
Retirement System board recently
adopted a rate smoothing policy that
will also cost the city an additional
$420,000 a year starting in FY 2015-
16, according to a staff report.
Foster City, however, has one of the
healthiest reserves of any municipali-
ty in the area at $17.5 million, about
56 percent of the citys annual operat-
ing budget of about $31 million.
In 2010, the city was facing an
ongoing structural decit of about $5
million but has reduced it since with
the use of some of the reserve.
The reserve can be used to balance
future budgets but the Foster City
Council has historically made moves
to reduce past decits without dipping
into the reserve by pushing for con-
solidation and sharing services with
other cities such as re personnel with
San Mateo.
Next year, the city will lose an
equivalent of 4.5 full-time positions
next year from 187.5 to 183.
The housing market in Foster City
has strengthened in the past year, with
median housing prices continuing to
rise and home sales increasing.
Multiple offers are being received by
sellers of residential property,
although inventory continues to be
low, according to the preliminary
budget.
Transient occupancy taxes have
increased in base revenue by 10 per-
cent in the past year. Franchise fees
have also increased, primarily due to
the increase in the solid waste fran-
chise fee for Recology from 5 percent
to 10 percent in January 2013, accord-
ing to the preliminary budget.
On the development front, the city
has seen the completion of the rst
phase of the Pilgrim-Triton Master
Plan development The Plaza at
Triton Park which was completed
this year. Gilead Sciences has also
completed its rst laboratory building
and several other improvements as
part of its South Campus develop-
ment. The projects will positively
impact property taxes for FY 2013-
14, according to the preliminary budg-
et.
Home sales volumes have picked up
over the last two years compared to the
recessionary period from 2008 to
2011, according to the preliminary
budget. Commercial property values
have increased, but there still exists
several commercial property owners
filing assessment appeals. Nearly
$450 million in assessed value is at
risk based on appeals with the County
Assessors Office as of April 27,
according to the preliminary budget.
Some commercial properties are
requesting reductions of more than 50
percent. Historically, property taxes
have grown annually at 5 percent to 10
percent but, during the recession,
taxes grew at less than 2 percent,
according to the preliminary budget.
The FY 2013-14 budget calls for
spending about $17 million on public
safety, about 55 percent of the citys
general fund budget. It will spend more
than $7 million next year in the Parks
and Recreation Department, about 23
percent of the general fund budget.
The citys total budget in all funds is
about $56 million, which includes
capital projects and enterprise funds.
The Foster City Council meets 6:30
p.m., Monday, June 3, City Hall, 620

successful, students ran into chal-
lenges when it came to getting the
clothes to the children. Krishnan,
whose family volunteers with the
school on Tannery Road in Bangalore,
will take some with her this summer.
But additional help is welcomed
and, frankly, needed.
Krishnan, a sophomore, said the
idea was a simple one to support chil-
dren who werent as lucky as she.
I feel like I could be one of those
kids. Im lucky my parents were able
to immigrate, she said.
On Tuesday, shell set off for her rst
trip to volunteer in India with the
organization with some of the donated
clothing in tow.
The idea started when Krishnan real-
ized the 400 children in the Tannery
Road school, which serves children in
kindergarten through 10th grade,
needed clothing. Burlingame club
members agreed to take on the idea of
a clothing drive asking for items for
children ages 5 to 15 years old that
were modest.
Students at the local high school ral-
lied around the idea and donated about
250 pieces of clothing. Shipping
costs for the clothes turned out to be
quite expensive. To cover the cost,
students in the Students in Action club
sold Indian cuisine at the International
Food Faire raising more than
$250.
After holding the fundraiser, stu-
dents learned the schools bylaws
wont allow the money raised to be
used for charity. Thats where extra
suitcase space comes in.
Krishnan is taking extra suitcases
with clothes when she visits India this
summer. And, since she cant take all
the clothes, club members are contact-
ing companies in hopes that others
who are going to Bangalore would be
willing to bring extra clothing with
them.
For more information about, or to
donate to, Project Hope visit
www.hopeww.org. To offer suitcase
space, contact Krishnan at umakrish-
nan@gmail.com.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
JANE CHIN WANG
Case Number: 123404
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Jane Chin Wang. A Pe-
tition for Probate has been filed by Eu-
gene Ching Wang in the Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Eu-
gene Ching Wang be appointed as per-
sonal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: July 8, 2013 at 9:00
a.m., Dept. 28,, Room , Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
203 Public Notices
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

WORLD/STATE 28
By Karin Laub
BEIRUT Syrian rebels and
Hezbollah guerrillas battled
Sunday in their worst clashes yet
inside Lebanon, a new sign that the
civil war in Syria is increasingly
destabilizing its fragile neighbor.
Syrias foreign minister, mean-
while, rebuffed an appeal by the
U.N. and the Red Cross to let
humanitarian aid reach thousands
of civilians trapped in the rebel-
held town of Qusair, under regime
attack for the past three weeks. The
Red Cross said many of the wound-
ed were not receiving desperately
needed medical care.
The latest confrontation between
Lebanons Hezbollah militia and
Syrian rebels, who have been ght-
ing on opposite sides inside Syria,
came at a time of increasingly
incendiary rhetoric between Sunni
and Shiite Muslims in the region.
One of the Arab worlds most
inuential Sunni clerics, Yusuf al-
Qaradawi, urged
the faithful this
week to ght
alongside Sunni
rebels against
S h i i t e
Hezbollah and
P r e s i d e n t
Bashar Assads
m i n o r i t y
Alawite sect, an
off-shoot of Shiite Islam.
Hezbollahs involvement in the
battle over strategic Qusair has
also raised tensions with Syrian
rebels who have threatened to tar-
get the militias bases in
Lebanon, and with Sunnis in
Lebanon who support the rebels.
Clashes between Sunnis and
Alawites erupted Sunday evening
in Lebanons northern city of
Tripoli, wounding at least 14 peo-
ple, according to the state-run
National News Agency.
Also Sunday, three rockets from
Syria struck northeastern Lebanon,
a day after 18 rockets and mortar
rounds hit Lebanons eastern
Baalbek region, a Hezbollah
stronghold.
From Saturday night into
Sunday, Hezbollah encircled and
ambushed Syrian rebels and allied
Lebanese ghters whom they sus-
pected of rocketing Baalbek, a
Lebanese security ofcial said.
A Hezbollah ghter and several
rebels were killed in the clashes in
a remote area near the Syrian bor-
der, said the ofcial, who spoke
on condition of anonymity in line
with regulations.
The Lebanese TV station Al-
Mayadeen, seen as sympathetic to
the Syrian regime, quoted Lebanese
security ofcials as saying 17 ght-
ers from Jabhat al-Nusra, a rebel
group linked to the global al-Qaida
terror network, were killed in the
ghting. The report could not be
independently conrmed.
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah
has linked his militias fate to the
survival of Assads regime, but
pledged in a televised speech last
month that he would keep the battle
out of Lebanon.
Hezbollah is the most dominant
faction in Lebanons patchwork of
ethnic and religious groups. Aback-
lash against Hezbollahs involve-
ment in Syria and a creeping desta-
bilization of Lebanon could hurt the
groups standing at home.
Events in Lebanon could spin out
of control, even if rival Lebanese
groups dont want Syrias war to be
exported to Lebanon, said Hilal
Khashan, a political science profes-
sor at the American University of
Beirut. With Lebanese ghters
increasingly engaged on opposite
sides in Syria, the worst is yet to
come in Lebanon, he said.
Earlier this week, Lebanons par-
liament put off general elections
scheduled for this month for anoth-
er 17 months, citing a deteriorating
security situation.
Syrian activists reported new
ghting in Qusair, about six miles
(10 kilometers) from the Lebanese
border. Local activist Hadi
Abdullah, speaking by Skype,
reported heavy shelling and regime
airstrikes on the town, saying at
least four people were killed and
more than 30 wounded.
He said thousands of civilians
were trapped in Qusair, including
hundreds of wounded. Hezbollah cut
off running water when it seized the
water station, he said, and food was
running out.
The Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights
reported at least three killed in
Qusair on Sunday.
The International Committee of
the Red Cross and U.N. humanitari-
an agencies expressed alarm over
the fate of thousands of civilians
believed trapped in Qusair, includ-
ing many wounded.
They called on both sides to allow
aid to reach civilians, including the
wounded. The Red Cross said many
of the wounded were not receiving
the medical care they need and that
food, water and medical supplies
were scarce.

Bashar Assad
control measures intended to deter
the sorts of mass shootings that
took place recently in other
states.
I think these bills put
California at the head of the pack
again in the nation in regulating
rearms, said Senate President Pro
Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-
Sacramento, after the Democratic
majority advanced legislation
limiting military-style assault
weapons and large capacity ammu-
nition magazines.
Lawmakers also want to tinker
with the states landmark environ-
mental protection law. There was
bipartisan support for changing
the four-decade-old law as the
Senate unanimously approved
Steinbergs SB731. Steinberg said
he expects more changes in the
Assembly as lawmakers work to
nd the proper balance to speed up
worthwhile construction projects
while protecting the environ-
ment.
There is less consensus about
regulating fracking, an increas-
ingly popular method of extract-
ing oil and gas. California has
vast deposits that could once
again make the state a leader in
petroleum production at the same
time it is taking aggressive steps
to limit greenhouse gas emis-
sions. But critics fear groundwater
pollution from the chemicals
injected into the earth and, at a
minimum, want more disclosure.
Several bills attempt to shine
more light on nancial contribu-
tions that can inuence elections
and legislation. One would require
increased disclosure in political
ads, while another would make it
more difcult for contributors to
hide their identity by laundering
their money through nonprofit
groups. That bill responds to a
secretive $11 million donation
funneled last year through
Americans for Responsible
Leadership, an Arizona nonprot
corporation.
Then there are more specific
bills, like the one that would
require the state corrections
department to distribute condoms
in prisons. Assemblyman Rob
Bonta, D-Oakland, said his AB999
would save the state money in the
long run by reducing the spread of
HIVand other sexually transmitted
diseases, which he called a tragic
reality of life in prison. A pilot
program has already been conduct-
ed at the state prison in Solano.
Areport based on that pilot pro-
gram says condoms are currently
available in the prison systems of
two states, Vermont and
Mississippi, and in ve county
jail systems in the U.S. That
includes Los Angeles County,
where they have been available
since 2001, and San Francisco,
which has distributed them to
inmates since 1989.
