Senate no
friend of
privacy bill
Officials reject social
network restrictions
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO — California senators rejected a bill

Friday designed to increase privacy on social networking sites,
persuaded by objections from some of the burgeoning indus-
try’s biggest players.
Sen. Ellen Corbett’s Senate Bill 242 would bar social net-
working websites from automatically revealing a user’s
address, phone number and similar information unless there is
a clear warning they will do so. Users could opt of displaying
the information if they wish.
The bill received just 16 of the 21 votes it needed to pass the
Senate. Corbett, D-San Leandro, said she will seek more sup-

Thousands of graves in San Mateo
County will soon be adorned with red,
white and blue flags as locals remember
those who died while serving their coun-
try.
Memorial Day will be celebrated in a
few ceremonies Monday, most with tra-
ditional sounds, local officials and mili-
tary representatives. “Taps” will likely
be heard in the background as a few
hours Monday are dedicated to those
who have served. Whether you’d like to
pay your respects through prayer, by vis-
iting a cemetery or participating in a
local event to honor veterans, San Mateo
County offers plenty of options.

A full-time anti-abortion protester known for bearing signs
with graphic images of fetuses and four other county residents
are asking the Redwood City Council to overturn approval of
a new Planned Parenthood clinic on El Camino Real.
The request is not a “heckler’s veto” but an argument the
clinic doesn’t meet the city’s code, including adequate parking,
according to the appeal filed Friday afternoon by attorney
Gregory Weiler on behalf of the opponents.
However, the appeal also notes several times that the clinic

Man pleads not guilty to interfering with flight
By Julia Cheever
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A Yemeni man who allegedly tried to storm
the cockpit of a San Francisco-bound jet
pleaded not guilty in federal court Friday to an
indictment charging him with interfering with
a flight crew.
Rageh al-Murisi, 28, was ordered by U.S.
Magistrate Jacqueline Corley to return to
court in San Francisco on June 23 for an
appearance before U.S. District Judge Jeffrey
White, who will preside over his not-yet-
scheduled trial.
Al-Murisi, who is being held in custody
without bail, is accused of trying to open the
locked cockpit door of an America Airlines
plane as it neared San Francisco International
Airport on May 8 and then ramming the door
with his shoulder.
He was subdued by
flight attendants and at
least three passengers,
including two retired law
enforcement officers and
an off-duty pilot.
A former defense attor-
ney and another magistrate
have said al-Murisi
Rageh al-Murisi appears to have mental
health problems.
U.S. Magistrate James Larson wrote in a
detention order on May 19 that al-Murisi told
the court’s pretrial services staff that “he has
had hallucinations for approximately one
year, and that the hallucinations have wors-
ened in the past one to two months.”
Al-Murisi met with a doctor on Monday,
according to his current lawyer, Christopher
Morales.
Larson denied bail at a May 13 hearing on
THE DAILY JOURNAL
the ground that al-Murisi is both a flight risk
and a danger to the community, and confirmed
his ruling in the May 19 written order.
The indictment was issued by a federal
grand jury on May 19 and contains the same
charge as a criminal complaint previously
filed by prosecutors, but the grand jury action
means that no preliminary hearing is needed.
The charge carries a possible maximum
sentence of 20 years in prison if he is convict-
ed.
Al-Murisi, a former math teacher in Yemen,
has a wife and children in Yemen.
He entered the U.S. in January 2010 and
lived with relatives in Vallejo for several
months while looking for work. He then
moved to New York, where he worked at sev-
eral convenience stores before suddenly quit-
ting a job a few days before he flew to San
Francisco, according to Larson’s ruling.

Construction work could slow down
travelers on the Bay Bridge and BART
this weekend.
Caltrans will shut down some east-
bound lanes on the Bay Bridge from 8
p.m. to 5 a.m. and Saturday and Sunday
nights because it is reconfiguring some
lanes as part of its ongoing effort to

BART will be shutting down one of
the two tracks in the Transbay Tube to
perform maintenance and repair work to
electric cables both this weekend and

The repair work means that riders who
use the tube to cross the San Francisco

40 minutes. While the work is being per-
formed, passengers who are traveling
from stations in San Francisco and the

Regulators OK PG&E rate changes
SAN FRANCISCO — California regulators have approved
Pacific Gas & Electric rate changes that give homeowners who
use large amounts of electricity a break while those who conserve
pay more. The billing changes, which were approved Thursday
by the state Public Utilities Commission, begin next week.
The changes were sought, in part, because of complaints from
PG&E customers in the San Joaquin Valley, where electricity
usage spikes during frequent heat waves.
Critics complain the changes will give people less incentive to
conserve energy.

SAN FRANCISCO — Students at a California high school

Bill aims to reduce bias
in public project bids
SACRAMENTO — Elected officials would
not be allowed to consider bids for public proj-
ects if any member of their body has a financial
stake under a bill that has passed the state
Assembly.
Currently, when city councils, school boards
and other government agencies vote on con-
tract bids, members with financial ties to the
project abstain.
But Assemblyman Roger Hernandez says
that doesn’t eliminate conflicts of interest. The
Democrat from West Covina says in his experi-
ence, public officials overwhelmingly favor
project proposals in which a peer has a vested
interest.
His bill, AB527, prohibits those proposals if
they involve taxpayer dollars. It passed Friday,
55-1, and goes to the Senate.
Assemblyman Chris Norby, a Republican
from Fullerton, voted against it, saying it fur-
ther restricts officials.
Assembly legislation touts
algae as energy source
SACRAMENTO — Algae are the renewable
energy source of choice for California in a bill
that has won unanimous support in the state
Assembly.
Assemblyman Charles Calderon of Whittier
touted his legislation as an exciting step to
increase algae production for renewable energy
in California. The Democrat said it would put
the state back on the map in using alternative
fuels.
AB642 passed the Assembly Friday on a 70-
0 vote.
The bill encourages the State Lands
Commission, which oversees a variety of state
projects, to support those that use algae for
energy.
Calderon says the aquatic plant has the
potential to produce energy 10 times more effi-
ciently than corn or soybeans. Algae can grow
in a variety of places and seasons and eats up
carbon dioxide, according to the bill.
Bill restricts checkpoints
to just DUI reduction
SACRAMENTO — A Democratic bill to
regulate drunken driving checkpoints has
passed the Assembly with support from a
Republican who called the stops “fishing expe-
ditions.”
Democratic Assemblyman Michael Allen of
Santa Rosa proposed AB1389 to ensure cities
hold the checkpoints on streets where drunken
driving is a problem.
The Assembly approved the legislation, 51-
19, generally along party lines. But
Assemblyman Chris Norby, a Republican from
Fullerton, said he voted for the bill because
checkpoints target drivers without licenses.

Aggressive Cremation Group:

Seniors Targeted - Beware
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE – They
are at it again!
Recently I was
made aware of a
new cluster of mass
mailings being sent
to Seniors by a
group calling
themselves “Smart Cremation” (similar to
the mailings sent earlier this year by the
“Trident Society”). Several Seniors have
come to me asking who is “Smart
Cremation”, where did they come from and
my opinion on their legitimacy.
When ever I hear about mailings from
“quickie” cremation outfits that target
Seniors I am always suspicious about their
intensions. It is a fact that various
unscrupulous entities target Seniors because
they are thought of as “Easy Prey”.
I did some investigating and found out
the following: According to the website
“Ripoff Report” the group calling
themselves “Smart Cremation” is run by
“Jerry Norman” who was allegedly fired as
CEO of the Neptune Society. “Smart
Cremation” is linked to “Accucare” and
“Gateway Crematory” who are all one in the
same. “Smart Cremation” and the other
above names exist under the umbrella of
“Northstar Memorial Group” in Houston,
Texas. There is apparently some concern on
how “Smart Cremation” collects and holds
money from the Seniors they are targeting.
Yes, I know…there are a lot of names &
details to sink in…but there’s more…
Using visual tricks “Smart Cremation”
has been printing materials which are
specific to certain targeted Seniors such as
using flower envelopes mailed to women
and U.S. flag envelopes mailed to Veterans,
etc., all meant to be subliminally enticing.
Also, “Smart Cremation” advertizes
themselves as being “green” and “earth
friendly” when in reality the process they
use to cremate is no different than any other
crematory in the United States. It is well
documented that toxic greenhouse gases are
emitted into the atmosphere during the
cremation process. An example of a true
green option would be a natural type burial
certified by the “Green Burial Council”.
There are too many particulars about
“Smart Cremation” to list here, but on the
internet you can read the entire report for
yourself along with comments on legal
troubles from concerned consumers at:
http://www.ripoffreport.com/funeral-
services/smart-cremation-jerr/smart-
cremation-jerry-norman-e2e86.htm
I have to emphasize that if you are
looking into cremation or funeral matters
please please do your homework and call
your local Funeral Home, compare their
services and ask questions. Go to a Funeral
Director who is well known in the
community. Please don’t become a “target”
and allow these out of state mailings to lure
you in with misleading messages. They will
send sales people to your home who will
then be hard to get rid of without your
signature on a contract.
To conclude, here are all my best wishes
to you, your family and loved ones.
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

Last shuttle spacewalkers Around the nation

make history above Earth
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. —
NASA completed its part in the con-
struction of the International Space
Station on Friday, with the final
spacewalkers in the 30-year shuttle
program attaching an extension
boom.
“Twelve years of building and 15
countries and now it’s the Parthenon
in the sky and hopefully the
doorstep to our future,” spacewalker
Gregory Chamitoff before heading
back inside. “So congratulations
everybody on assembly complete.”
Chamitoff said it was fitting for
space shuttle Endeavour to be at the
space station for the end of con-
struction since it was there for the
first assembly mission in December
1998.
Texas governor will consider

AUSTIN, Texas — After months

Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Friday
he would consider seeking the

ing to New Hampshire next week,
further stirring speculation that he
will jump into the still-gelling field

Perry, the longest serving gover-
nor in Texas history, would bring

Obituary One dead in rural crash

A Newark man was killed in a crash near La
Honda late Thursday morning that involved
workers who were performing weed abatement
for a local open space district, a California
Highway Patrol spokesman said.
The San Mateo County Coroner’s Office
identified the victim as Luis Audelo-Partida, 26.
The crash was reported at 11:22 a.m. in the
vicinity of Alpine and Mindego Hill roads, in a
rural area of San Mateo County near the
Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve.
It appears the vehicle involved was being
driven in an area without a paved road and
somehow went out of control and tumbled into
a canyon, according to the CHP.

Pull plug on high-speed rail? Why?
— The Sacramento Bee
N N
ews about California’s high-
speed rail project has taken on
a Dr. Jekyll-and-Mr. Hyde
quality.
On one side, there’s never been more
momentum. Headlines tout California’s
new billions in unexpected federal
funds, as other states have turned back
high-speed rail funds. The federal $3.9
billion is more than was ever anticipat-
ed at this stage of the project.
That follows voter approval in 2008
of a nearly $10 billion bond to help
develop and construct high-speed rail.
President Barack Obama has made
high-speed rail a top national priority,
while Gov. Jerry Brown’s record of
support dates back to the 1970s.
Beyond that, there’s the assurance
that other countries have built success-
ful high-speed rail systems and
California has the population density to
equal those systems, as the Paris-Lyon-
Marseille comparison chart shows.
Then there’s the other side.
In the aftermath of the May 10
Legislative Analyst’s Office report,
“High-speed rail is at a critical junc-
ture,” headlines have been equally dom-
inated by hand-wringing and calls to
slow down or end the project.
With a public infrastructure project of
this size and complexity, this dual per-
sonality should surprise no one.
But to resolve it, Brown will have to
show true leadership. While his budget

Nothing to support
in Saltworks plan
Editor,
I saw the poll this week that reported
57 percent of Redwood City voters
oppose the Cargill plan to build a city
on the Saltworks at the foot of
Woodside Road. Actually, I was sur-
prised the pollers found anyone (28
percent) who supports it. There is
almost nothing about the plan that
makes sense except the potential for
huge profits for Cargill and DMB.
There are also huge headaches for
Redwood City taxpayers who will be
left holding the bag when these cow-
boys leave town.

proposal moves the project along as
planned, that’s not enough.
He needs to squarely address the
issues raised by the legislative analyst’s
report. The current uncertainty about
California’s intentions is hurting inter-
national private sector interest in the
venture. It is making the federal gov-
ernment, which has made a significant
financial commitment, wary of the
state’s steadfastness.
Californians deserve clarity on three
major issues:
• Central Valley
The legislative analyst questions the
“inside-out” strategy of starting con-
struction in the Central Valley and then
building toward the Bay Area and Los
Angeles. But as Europe and Japan have
shown, high-speed rail works only for
journeys of two to three hours, 150 to
550 miles, where air and car are less
efficient.
The map shows that the Central
Valley portion of the California route is
the 220 mph backbone of the high-
speed rail system. As Roelof van Ark,
CEO of California High-Speed Rail
Authority, explains, “If you start with
the end sections, you’d never get a
high-speed rail system; the central por-
tion is the core of high-speed rail.” If
Californians want true high-speed rail,
the line must start in the Central Valley.
• Board structure
In regards to the article, “Poll:
Voters reject Cargill saltworks plan,”
in the May 18 edition of the Daily
Journal, to argue a point we must base
our argument on principle. To not is
to argue from an unsupportable posi-
tion. Our right to the use of our own
property, be it intellectual or real, is
the foundation of a free society. To
preserve our right we must grant that
everyone has that right. Save the Bay
Executive Director David Lewis and
others ignore this principle and are
denying Cargill property owners the
right to chose the best use of their
property. What Lewis must understand
is that to deny one property owner his
right is to deny the right of all proper-
ty owners. Also, to deny one property
owner will lower the standard of liv-
ing for all of us. We will be denied
jobs and our tax base supporting our
public services will continue to
decline.
The further danger is the loss of a
large portion of a city’s budget. Many

OPINION
The LAO is concerned that the
California High-Speed Rail Authority
board might not have enough high-
powered technical expertise, or local
city representation. This is easily fixed.
The nine-member board has five people
appointed by the governor, two appoint-
ed by the Senate Rules Committee and
two by the Assembly speaker. They can
mold the board as they choose.
• Caltrans
The legislative analyst suggests that
day-to-day and strategic development
of the project be taken away from the
California High-Speed Rail Authority,
and turned over to Caltrans. Caltrans
currently oversees inter-city commuter
rail in California, but it does not con-
struct rail systems. It is one thing to
call for enhancing the working relation-
ship between high-speed rail authority
and Caltrans, and for better integration
of high-speed rail into overall trans-
portation planning. It is quite another to
call for a “start-over.”
California is far along in the high-
speed rail project, ready to enter into
large design-build construction con-
tracts in 2012-13. Let’s not be naive.
Putting a hold on this now means giv-
ing up federal funding.
Brown understands high-speed rail:
“As our airports and highways become
more crowded, the need for high-speed
rail becomes even more acute,” he said
last year. If Brown truly believes in this
project, he’s got to show it. Now. Or he
can count on the Mr. Hyde forces to
delay high-speed rail into oblivion.
times, most recently against the city
of Half Moon Bay, courts have ruled
in favor of property owners who have
sued over the loss of the use and
value of their properties through the
actions of planning departments and
city councils. The courts are uphold-
ing the laws protecting individual
rights. In Half Moon Bay’s case the
property owner sued for tens of mil-
lion dollars, the value of his property.
That city’s budget this coming year is
cut so severely that they have no
police department. We have moved far
away from the protections of our
laws, the U.S. Constitution and the
Bill of Rights, when individuals think
that they can control the decisions and
properties of others.

History, God and
the Constitution
ations develop politically by how their ascensions to
power are structured. In antiquity, except for Greece
and Rome, it was mostly
by systems of divinely anointed
royalty, who directed the fate of
their people.
When democracies emerged,
that power devolved mostly to the
voting public, the “common man
and women” and that is what
underlies the battle for the soul of
this nation at this time. That is at
the crux of our ongoing political
controversy.
That is not being overdramatic.
We are in the midst of a political
and economic tempest, dating back
to the Great Depression, as to whether we will continue to be a
nation on a course of providing for the security and welfare of
all of its citizens or reverting to one in which the citizens are
like being in a rowboat in the ocean buffeted by whatever eco-
nomic storms arise from a boom-and-bust economic system.
There are very strong currents to support the latter, a very,
very wealthy minority of individuals and corporations, support-
ed by a majority of the Supreme Court, able to put much of
that wealth into attempts to direct the future development of
the country versus a vast mass of citizens whose major strength
is in the vast number of votes it can exercise to keep the nation
on the “safety net” trajectory of the past 80 years.
We can see that engaging, now, as many citizens are begin-
ning to react angrily to U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan’s plan to end
Medicare, as they now know it. Also, there will, likely, be a
similar reaction if Social Security is threatened. It is not a mat-
ter of cosmic right or wrong, it’s a question of what the majori-
ty of voters, referred to as “The People,” will do with their
votes.
Much of this will be reinforced if more of the upper-middle-
class loses its identification with the economic elite and real-
izes its destiny is being immediately threatened by the econom-
ic developments since the Reagan administration, reckless
financial institutions gambling their savings away, business
entities whose greatest loyalty is to profit as they ship
American jobs abroad, big-time agriculture cashing in on sub-
sidies originally intended to save small family farms, a “wel-
fare for the rich” of tax breaks and subsidies for huge business
entities enjoying their greatest profits in generations. By com-
parison, the detested and maligned “welfare for the poor” and
the alleged fears of exploitation of government benefits by ille-
gal immigrants is a small fraction of the above but are conve-
niently scapegoated to direct our attention away from the
above.
So, it is elections, not the fuming and bloviating of political
commentators and some politicians who are the last barricades
against a return to the “good old boom-and-bust days” directed
by those with growing political and economic power and the
fantasy world of the current crop of conservative Republicans.
And speaking of a fantasy world, how about their calling
God and/or the U.S. Constitution into their ongoing crusade to
make things right in America? How many times have we heard
one of them refer to God as calling them into His political
service? Actually, people who murder their children say much
the same thing. Or, how about their referring to the
Constitution as immutable and as sacred as the Ten
Commandments, when actually it is primarily a working blue-
print for the administration of government and justice and is in
no way immutable. It is still a living document with 27 amend-
ments to bring it up to date to better direct our country. Mostly,
they confuse it with the Declaration of Independence.
Sometimes these their interpretations are so bizarre, as
Representative Michele Bachmann’s declaration that the
Founding Fathers were already working on elimination of slav-
ery, when in reality a number were still slave holders and all
were agreeing that a slave was worth only three-fifths of other
human beings for purposes of the census. Yet, they fearlessly
declare their personal interpretations of the Constitution, such
as the “letter to the editor” writer of a few weeks ago: “We are
a Constitutional Republic and we have allowed our so-called
lawmakers ... to go beyond their constitutional authority.
Politicians know they have illegally put the American people in
debt.”
Do they? Where are such prohibitions and illegalities written
into the Constitution? The writer makes some good points
about the unconscionable increases in public debt but does that
great document an injustice by creating such fictions for his
own purposes.
It’s a mystery to me how our democracy continues to thrive
in such a cacophony of political fantasies.
On the other hand, I will, fearlessly, testify that God has per-
sonally directed me to write this column and bring all of those
political fantasies into conformity with His “original intent.”

A key measure of consumer confi-

Meanwhile, Americans’ spending and
income rose in April, giving stocks their
third straight day of gains on Friday. The
market was still down slightly for the

The Thomson Reuters/University of
Michigan Consumer Sentiment index
rose to 74.3 in May, above analysts’ esti-

prices and inflation knocked the gauge

Gas prices have come down in May

WASHINGTON — The tornadoes and
floods that have devastated parts of the
South and Midwest have also hammered
the local economies — flooding farm-
lands, suspending factory work and dis-
rupting energy production.
Yet for the U.S. economy overall, the
damage will likely be scant. At most, the
disasters might knock one-tenth of 1 per-
centage point off national economic
growth in the April-June quarter, Wells
Fargo economist Mark Vitner estimates.
“It’s so small, you aren’t going to
notice it,” said Patrick Newport, an econ-

DEAUVILLE, France — Rich coun-

to provide $40 billion in funding for
Arab nations trying to establish true
democracies, officials said at a Group of
Eight summit Friday.
Officials didn’t fully detail the sources
of the money, or how it would be used,
but the thrust was clearly to underpin
democracy in Egypt and Tunisia —
where huge public uprisings ousted
autocratic regimes this year — and put
pressure on repressive rulers in Syria
and Libya.

Petersen blazes her own trail on the track

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It’s been awhile since we’ve seen Jessie
Petersen, a two-time Daily Journal Athlete of
the Season, running around these parts.
But make no mistake about it, the Carlmont
high school senior has been running, and run-
ning very well. And in the process, she’s been
putting up times that can only make you won-
der the kind of damage she would be doing at
the high school level.
Sunday, Petersen will visit the College of
San Mateo and participate in the USA Track
and Field Pacific Association Championships.
The event will bring together some of the best
track and field athletes in the country.
Petersen will run in the 1,500 meters.
“Sunday is more of a prep race for me going
into Golden West,” Petersen said. “I’m going
to go out there, I’m going to run the 1,500 and
I’m going to see what I can do, and see what
speed I have right now. But in reality, I am
definitely not a mile runner. So, we’ll see what
I can do.”
Petersen’s trek to the USATF
Championships hasn’t been the easiest. As an
athlete, San Mateo county fans have enjoyed
watching her run circles around her competi-
tion on the cross country courses as a
Carlmont Scot. But that hasn’t been the case
on the track. It’s a conscious choice Petersen
made her junior season, one that was been
bumpy at times.
“Last track season, I didn’t run for the
school team either, and last track season it was
a really big deal, I was really upset over it,”
Petersen said. “I was really worried about it
because a lot of people thought it was going to
affect my scholarship, and all that stuff. So, I

Coveted cup
Barca, Man United
meet for Champions
League supremacy
By Stuart Condie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WEMBLEY, England — Alex Ferguson
believes the Champions League showdown
between Manchester United and Barcelona
could be the best final in the last 10 years.
With Barcelona lauded as one of the greatest
clubs in soccer history and Ferguson insisting
his players are better prepared than when the
teams met two years ago, the United manager
said Friday the ingredients are in place for a
classic.
Barcelona has already clinched a third
straight Spanish title, and such is the fashion in
which Lionel Messi and his teammates rou-
tinely dismantle opponents that United is a
clear underdog Saturday despite having
reached a third final in four seasons.
“The success both teams have had in the past
decade has been enormous,” Ferguson said. “It
really could be the best final of the decade. The
attraction of two teams with such history is
obvious. Anything could happen in this game.”
The coaches are agreed on one thing: Each
team will give a better account of itself than it
did in the 2009 final, when United was rattled
by Barcelona’s early goal and went down 2-0.
“I’m very happy with winning in Rome,”
said Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, who as a
player helped Barcelona win its first title in
1992. “But let’s be honest, we have to play bet-
ter than we played in Rome and I have told my
players that repeatedly.”
Barcelona has done that for much of this
season, with the likes of world champions
Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez and Sergio
Busquets helping their team control close to
two-thirds possession in this season’s
Champions League — against supposedly
Europe’s best teams.

When FIFA bureaucrats can’t even organ-
ize their own internal ballot without turning
it into a farce, then how can they be trusted
to oversee global management of the beauti-
ful game? Short answer: they can’t.
The timing of their latest crisis is unfor-
givable. In usurping the hard-earned lime-
light from players who will grace the pitch
at the home of soccer — Wembley — FIFA
is committing the ultimate sin.
The focus this week should have been
entirely on soccer ambassadors like Edwin
van der Sar, United’s goalkeeper who will
be playing the last match of his long and
admirable career.
If those who run soccer were doing their
job correctly, which means working effi-
ciently, honestly and quietly in the back-
ground, not needing to be heard nor seen,
we could have spent this week thinking
only of whether Ferguson should be bold
and play Javier Hernandez alongside Wayne

midfield as Kryptonite against Barcelona’s
super-trio of Messi, Xavi Hernandez and
Andres Iniesta.

Crawford gets grand slam,Giants beat Brewers
Tim Lincecum goes seven innings for his fifth win, Bruce Bochy ejected for arguing call
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILWAUKEE — Brandon Crawford hit a
go-ahead grand slam in his first game as a big
leaguer, helping Tim Lincecum and the San
Francisco Giants beat the Milwaukee
Brewers 5-4 Friday night.
Lincecum (5-4) gave up
three runs in seven
innings. The Giants won
despite the ejection of
manager Bruce Bochy,
who argued a close play at
home plate in the fifth
inning.
With the Brewers trying Brandon Crawford
to rally in the eighth,
Giants catcher Eli Whiteside absorbed a big
hit from Prince Fielder. It was reminiscent of
the play that caused a serious injury to Buster
Posey earlier this week, but Whiteside held
on to end the inning and preserve the lead.
COLLISIONS
Continued from page 11
In the past few years, the NFL has cracked
down on violent hits and increased fines with
an eye on player safety. The league also
announced this week a policy of “club
accountability” for teams whose players
repeatedly are fined for flagrant hits.
Some in baseball are asking for similar
action in the wake of Posey’s injury. Others
argue home plate collisions are as much a part
of baseball tradition as peanuts and Cracker
Jacks and the seventh-inning stretch.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy, a former
catcher who had multiple head injuries in his
playing days, called on Major League Baseball
to explore ideas to protect players.
“I think we do need to consider changing the
rules here a little bit because the catcher is so
vulnerable and there’s so many who have got-
ten hurt,” Bochy said. “And not just a little bit,
had their careers ended or shortened.”
Even with advances in technology and
improved gear, collisions at the plate still
cause lasting injuries.
Angels catcher Bobby Wilson had a severe
concussion and injured his left leg in a colli-
sion with Yankees slugger Mark Teixeira last
year. It was Wilson’s first big league start
behind the plate.
“The next thing I remembered was sitting in
SPORTS
Brian Wilson pitched the ninth for his 14th
save, striking out Rickie Weeks to end a
potential rally.
Weeks hit a two-run homer off Lincecum
and Shaun Marcum (6-2) took the loss. Nyjer
Morgan had a single and a double in his
return from injury. But it wasn’t enough to
give the Brewers what would have been a
franchise record-tying 10th straight victory at
home.
Until the seventh inning, it had been shap-
ing up as another strong outing for Marcum,
who has been the Brewers’ best starter so far
this season. The Giants finally got to him in
the sixth when Freddy Sanchez singled home
a run.
A fan sitting in the front row near home
plate then earned the crowd’s ire when he
appeared to interfere with what could have
been an inning-ending foul popup. The fan
was off the hook after Marcum got Pat
Burrell to fly out.
“What do you

a wheelchair,” said Wilson, who missed 21
games while on the disabled list.
His manager, Mike Scioscia, caught more
games than any player in Dodgers history and
endured numerous collisions, including a cou-
ple of memorable ones with Jack Clark and
Chili Davis. He believes there’s an unwritten
code of ethics among players, depending on
how much of the plate the catcher gives and
the situation in the game.
“It’s just like breaking up a double play and
what the guidelines are,” Scioscia said.
“Running into a catcher, the catcher’s going to
stay there and try to block the plate, which you
have the right to if you’re fielding the ball. And
the runner obviously has a right to dislodge it.”
Those lines can often be murky.
Cousins, for instance, scored the winning
run in a crucial game against the defending
World Series champions Wednesday night. He
might have had room to slide and avoid hitting
Posey, but that’s a split-second decision and
almost impossible to discern in the moment.
Giants 5, Brewers 4
But Marcum got in trouble in the seventh,
loading the bases.
Making his major league debut with a start
at shortstop, Crafword came to the plate with
the Giants trailing by two runs. He pounded
a pitch from Marcum over the fence, giving
the Giants a 5-3 lead with his first hit as a
major leaguer.
The 24-year-old Crawford had his contract
purchased from the Giants’ Class-A San Jose
affiliate Thursday. He missed several weeks
to start the season after breaking his finger in
spring training.
It was a boost to Lincecum, who didn’t
look quite as dominant Friday as he did in his
last outing, a shutout against Oakland.
Lincecum allowed six hits, striking out four
with no walks.
Weeks’ homer came in the third, his ninth
of the season.
The only collision Arizona manager and for-
mer World Series star Kirk Gibson had in his
career came against Pat Borders on July 9,
1995. Gibson remembers the two almost col-
lided at the plate the day before except Borders
moved up and allowed him to slide in safely at
the last second.
“He told me the next day he didn’t sleep
because he chickened out,” Gibson said. “A
day later we had the same play, he stood in
there and I pounded him.”
The brunt of the blow doesn’t always fall on
the catcher either.
After all, the runner is the one not wearing
protective gear. And sliding instead of collid-
ing offers no guarantees — Texas slugger Josh
Hamilton, last season’s AL MVP, broke his
right arm April 12 on a headfirst slide into
home at Detroit.“What do you want them to
do? Make guys wear tennis shoes? It’s a Major
League Baseball game,” Red Sox manager
Terry Francona said. “What do you want them
to do? Sometimes guys break up double plays,
sometimes you gotta try to score. Nobody
wants to see anybody get hurt, but you got to
play the game.”
Player safety is one area where Major
League Baseball and the players’ association
usually overwhelmingly agree. The new con-
cussion disabled list and padding on the walls
are two of the most recent actions both helped
implement.
But there’s no concrete answer on what can
be done to prevent major injuries at the plate.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Morgan scored on Weeks’ home run —
then scored again in the fifth when Weeks hit
a grounder and Morgan slid past Whiteside in
a close play at the plate. Bochy came out to
argue, and home plate umpire Mike
Muchlinski threw him out.
Morgan was back in the lineup in his first
day back with the team from injury, starting
in center field and batting eighth. He had
been on the disabled list since May 6 with a
broken left middle finger.
NOTES: Giants general manager Brian
Sabean said before the game that he wants
baseball officials to consider rules changes to
protect catchers at home plate. “It’s simple:
You have to slide into other bases. Why
shouldn’t you have to slide into home
plate?,” Sabean said. ... Brewers LHP Dan
Merklinger cleared waivers and was assigned
outright to Double-A Huntsville. OF
Brandon Boggs accepted his outright assign-
ment to Triple-A Nashville.
A message left with a league spokesman seek-
ing comment was not immediately returned.
Many high schools and some college divi-
sions have outlined rules for calls on the bases,
including home. The most common are giving
the umpire the discretion to decide if the run-
ner could avoid a collision with a clear path or
if the runner had any intent to reach the base
— similar to those for breaking up a double-
play in the big leagues.
Those subjective calls could be more diffi-
cult in the majors.
Players are faster, stronger and dozens of
slow-motion camera angles dissecting each
play might only increase debate. In the NBA,
the charge-block call is one of the toughest for
referees and the most controversial among
fans, but the play happens at least a half-dozen
times a game with athletes such as LeBron
James and Dwyane Wade who are even faster.
Most big leaguers chuckle at the idea of
such a rule in baseball.
Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek is considered
among the best at blocking the plate. He agrees
collisions should remain in the baseball rules,
even it that puts him in harm’s way.
“Catching, you’re usually not on the win-
ning end of those. Period,” Varitek said. “Some
things are part of the game. But even the peo-
ple who are playing hard and are in those col-
lisions don’t want to see anybody get hurt.
Some things are part of the game. There’s not
a whole lot you can do.”

Top-seeded Wozniacki falls at French Open

By Howard Fendrich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — If Caroline Wozniacki truly was
torn up inside about her latest loss at a Grand
Slam tournament, she certainly hid it well.
Wozniacki smiled and shrugged while
deflecting questions about being No. 1 in the
rankings despite never having won a major
title. Her wait for a breakthrough was extend-
ed Friday, when she was beaten 6-1, 6-3 by
28th-seeded Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia
in the third round of the French Open.
After the match, Wozniacki was consoled
by her father. She said he told her: “The world
still goes on, and we still have the next tour-
nament next week. There is nothing you can
do about it now, so just don’t beat yourself up
too much.”
Wozniacki’s early exit
came a day after No. 2
Kim Clijsters was elimi-
nated by 114th-ranked
Arantxa Rus, marking the
first time that the top two
seeded women failed to
make the round of 16 at
any Grand Slam tourna-
Caroline ment in the Open era,
Wozniacki which began in 1968. It
never had happened at the
French Open since it began admitting foreign
entrants in 1925.
Add that to the absences of the Williams sis-
ters, who are sidelined by health issues, and
there is a real lack of star power in Paris now.
“Kim had a tough loss yesterday; I had a
tough loss today. That’s what happens,” said
Wozniacki, a Dane who reached No. 1 in
October and has been there every week but
one since then. “Since we’re No. 1 and 2, it
means that we must be doing something right.
It’s just unfortunate to lose in a Grand Slam,
but that’s what happens, and we just need to
move forward.”
Hantuchova explained the surprises this
way: “It just shows how strong women’s ten-
nis is at the moment. It’s very open.”
As if to prove that point, another French
Open title contender, 2010 runner-up and
2009 semifinalist Sam Stosur of Australia,
was beaten 6-4, 1-6, 6-3 by 51st-ranked
Gisela Dulko of Argentina. But defending
champion Francesca Schiavone of Italy
advanced when her opponent, No. 29 Peng
Shuai of China, stopped playing because she
has a cold and couldn’t breathe properly.
The most anticipated matchup of the day
did not begin until early evening — and did
not finish Friday. Two-time Australian Open
champion Novak Djokovic, who is on a 41-
match winning streak, was tied at a set apiece
with 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin
del Potro when play was suspended at 9:15
p.m. because of darkness.
The second-seeded Djokovic won the first
set 6-3, but No. 25 del Potro took the second
by the same score. Right after del Potro held
serve to even the match, the chair umpire
announced play would stop for the day; there
are no artificial lights on the courts at Roland
Garros.
Earlier, 16-time Grand Slam champion
Roger Federer saved the only break point he
faced in a 6-1, 6-4, 6-3 victory over No. 29
Janko Tipsarevic of Serbia.

U.S. eyes another strong showing at Gold Cup

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARY, N.C. — The U.S. men’s national team
will be trying to follow a well-traveled path to
more World Cup success in a few years.
Four years ago, the Americans won the Gold
Cup to earn an automatic bid to the 2009
Confederations Cup. They reached the finals of
that World Cup dry run to set up last year’s run
to the second round of soccer’s biggest stage in
South Africa.
A strong showing in next month’s Gold Cup
could help the U.S. make even more noise when
the World Cup goes to Brazil in 2014.
“The opportunity we have is to take back that
Gold Cup trophy,” U.S. coach Bob Bradley said.
“We pride ourselves on what we can accomplish
in CONCACAF play.”
Ten players worked out
Friday in North Carolina,
where they also spent a few
days practicing two months
ago, and all 23 will arrive by
Tuesday. They play Spain in
a friendly next weekend in
Foxborough, Mass., in

The U.S. opens group

days after that. Twelve U.S. players will make
their Gold Cup debuts.

an impact,” defender Oguchi Onyewu said. “It’s
probably unfair to say you’ll see it next week or
in the Gold Cup, but maybe in the long run.”
This cycle feels different.
“The last time around, the big thing was estab-
lishing a way of doing things and building a
foundation,” Bradley said. “This time we’re
building on experiences we’ve had. We’ve been
in tough situations. We know each other better.”
Beating Spain two years ago in the
Confederations Cup semifinals counted as one
of those experiences. So did losing to Mexico in
the 2009 Gold Cup final and coming from two
goals behind to tie Slovenia in World Cup group
play.
“Prior to (the last 30 minutes against Mexico),
we felt very good about the way we had moved
forward in that tournament,” Bradley said last
week. “There was a lot at stake, a great crowd at
Giants Stadium and it was a tough way for us to
finish. That sticks with us.”
In that last meeting, the Americans handed the
Spaniards their first loss in 35 games.
“At that time, we had such a good team and
that gave us momentum going into the World
Cup,” said U.S. forward Jozy Altidore, who
scored the first goal of that game. “We were so
strong, identifying what we needed to do on the
pitch and then doing it.”
Onyewu calls Spain “the best team in the
world,” but wants to keep it in perspective.
“It’s only a friendly game, but it’s important
when you think of the Gold Cup,” he said. “We
have a big opponent, so we want a great result
for the program and our fans and the country.”

CHAMPIONS he’s wished us all the best,” Ferguson said.

“Fans want us to be faithful to the way we
play, to our philosophy, and we will be,” goal-
keeper Victor Valdes said. “If we are to win,
that’s the only way we can get there.”
Ferguson acknowledged that he had consult-
ed Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho for ideas
on how to approach the game. Ferguson’s
friend is one of the select few to have engi-
neered a victory — albeit one that was fol-
lowed by a humbling defeat in the Champions
League semifinals — over Barcelona this sea-
son.
“I’ve had a small conversation with him and
“He knows we’re prepared.”
United enters the game coming off a record
19th English title. It also advanced to the final
without conceding an away goal and is draw-
ing close to two decades of dominance in
England. Still, it is the biggest long shot in a
Champions League final in more than a
decade.
“We are proud that in the future — in the
next four, five, 10, 15 years — some guys will
remember this team playing right now,”
Guardiola said. “If they say, ’One time I saw
this team and they played good for us,”’ we are
glad. But to say we are the best team ever is
impossible. It is not true.”
With a penalty-kick shootout to follow if
neither team wins through regulation or extra
time, one club will leave Wembley tied with
Bayern Munich and Ajax with four titles. Only
Real Madrid, AC Milan and Liverpool have
won more.
Barcelona won its first title at Wembley in
1992 before picking up two more titles in the
past five years. United also won its first at the
north London stadium in 1968, long before it
was demolished and rebuilt to its current
90,000-seat configuration.
“It’s at Wembley and that gives you an
awareness that this is a big game,” said
Ferguson, the most decorated manager in
English soccer. “And I like big games.”
Ferguson’s players want some payback for
2009.
“It doesn’t bother us who is favorite and who
is not,” United midfielder Michael Carrick
said. “It is about performing in a one-off game.
We respect them for what they are, the way
they play the game and the strengths they
have.”
Carrick is likely to start, with the veteran
Ryan Giggs or more defensive Darren Fletcher
alongside him. England striker Wayne Rooney
is likely to sit deep behind Mexico internation-
al Javier Hernandez, with Antonio Valencia
and Park Ji-sung occupying the wide positions.
Barcelona captain Carles Puyol said he is fit
following the knee injury that restricted him to
a handful of games since January. Guardiola
said fullback Eric Abidal is available and free
from the aftereffects of a liver tumor this sea-
son.
“Anyone coming to a game of this nature
doesn’t care what the experts say or the book-
makers say,” Ferguson said. “We will be going
out there with a genuine chance.”

LEICESTER
Continued from page 11
(“WHAT A SACK OF WEASELS!” was the verdict of one
London newspaper on Friday) from footballers who deserve
them far more. How desperately unfair. How wrong.
FIFA’s so-called ethics committee is now meant to clean up
this mess. A pressure-hose would surely be more effective,
because the dirt that has been thrown at FIFA over the years
seems caked so thick. You could fill books — indeed, some
have — with all the suspicions and claims of malfeasance.
And even if many of them haven’t been backed up with rock-
solid proof, soccer’s world governing body, at the very best,
has an awful image problem.
The latest allegations that would-be president Mohamed
bin Hammam sought to bribe voters are, however, more dam-
aging than others that FIFA has swatted away because this
time they come from an insider, Chuck Blazer. The American
is a member of FIFA’s executive committee which, among
other things, decides which nations host the World Cup. For
that rich prize, presidents, prime ministers and princes get
down before them on bended knee.
Bin Hammam also sits on that committee. And he, in turn,
claims that the man he is trying to unseat, FIFA president
Sepp Blatter, may have known about but did nothing to stop
any payoffs to voters in the Caribbean.
In short, it looks like a snake eating its own tail, with for-
mer friends and allies within FIFA turning on each other in
An ideal outcome for soccer would be that the snake con-
sumes itself entirely, that FIFA’s discredited leadership be
replaced and rejuvenated. That is what needs to happen for
FIFA to begin winning back credibility. But that is not likely
to happen any time soon.
It’s impossible to know how this latest scandal will play out
— since FIFA doesn’t like to wash its dirty laundry in public
its machinations will happen behind closed doors.
One scenario, perhaps the likeliest if the allegations are
proved, is that bin Hammam is tossed out of the ballot and
that Blatter gets a fourth and final four-year term unopposed
next Wednesday. Bin Hammam insists he’s done nothing
wrong.
Or, if Blatter did ignore any payoffs, the ethics committee
that will meet this Sunday could sanction him, too. That,
however, hardly seems likely given the power and network of
contacts and influence he has built up in his 13 years at the
top.
Or both men could be cleared and someone else could take
the fall if payments were made. Someone like Jack Warner, a
FIFA vice president who is also being investigated. Warner
could be a good patsy, because he’s been a previous target of
numerous claims of wrongdoing, including allegations of
involvement in World Cup ticket-scalping.
If Warner is axed, Blatter could portray himself as a corrup-
tion-buster.
Either way, all this is ugly, ugly, ugly, and it’s unforgivable
that it has overshadowed footballers about to play one of the
games of their lives.

support and I have the right training
outside of school. So, I decided to
go with that path again.”
It’s not a choice Petersen made
lightly, but it was one she knew was
important for her future.
“At school, I don’t have the sup-
port that I need and I don’t have the
training that I need so it really was
a no-brainer for me this year. It is
very sad that I can’t participate in
CCS and (the) state meet. It’s kind
of hitting me harder today, but I
have been run-
ning really good
times this sea-
son and I just
know that if I
was running for
my high school
team I wouldn’t
be running as
Jessie Petersen fast as I am now.
So, it really
wasn’t much of a decision this
year.”
Petersen has the best time by a
high school student, not just here
but anywhere in the U.S, this year
in the 3,000 meter steeplechase
which is a college and Olympic
event, at 10:53.69. It was a time she
posted against college athletes in
March at the San Francisco State
Distance Carnival. Petersen is the
only Northern California high
school athlete with a current nation-
al best mark. She also ranks No. 2
in the USA at 5,000 meters
(16:51.71) — a time that is less
than a second off the national best.
“There have been tons of rumors
and stuff, and a lot talk online — a
lot of it is exaggerated and a lot of it
is people trying to put in their two
cents,” Petersen said of her decision
not to run for Carlmont this season.
“In reality, it was a discrepancy
between the coaching style and the
athlete’s preference. “Everything
got blown way out of proportion
and too many people got involved.
All that really happened was, there
was a coaching style, she wanted to
coach that way and then there was
the way the athlete wanted to train
and they were used to training that
way. We butt heads over that and
too many people got involved and
just it because a huge deal. It wasn’t
really worth what actually hap-
pened.”
If anything, the decision forced
Petersen to be more proactive. In
searching for colleges, she had her
cross country times in the fall to
rely on, but that wasn’t the case
with her track times. “I had to show
myself more,” she said, adding that
she was the one to email various
coaches around the country about
her marks and then explain to them
why she wasn’t running on a school
team. “Most of the time, they 100
percent understood,” she said. Now,
one week from graduation, Petersen
is preparing for school at the
Syracuse University where she
plans to study physical therapy.
Petersen will race Sunday repre-
senting RF United TC, the club
team she’s been training with this
spring.
“It’s been weird, it’s been diffi-
cult, but I was actually able to, ear-
lier this season, run against a future
teammate, which was really awe-
some,” Petersen said.
Following her race on Sunday,
Petersen will run in the Golden
West meet. “Golden West is the
only race I’ll get to run against high
school runners this year so I’m real-
ly excited about that. I haven’t ran
the two-mile this year, so I’m also
really excited about that,” she said.
“Running is discipline, it’s pretty
easy. You learn really early in your
career you need to work against the
clock, and work with your team-
mates, and my coach helped me see
that it’s not just about winning; it’s
about posting a good time and win-
ning,” Petersen said.

LeBron: No vindication — yet
By Tim Reynolds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Whenever he wants to
feel humbled, LeBron James pops in
the tapes of the 2007 NBA finals.
No matter what, the outcome never
changes. He got swept. San Antonio
simply outclassed Cleveland four
years ago in the title series, and that
still serves as a colossal source of
motivation for James — who makes
no secret that he’s fueled by slights
and disappointments.
Since then, he’s won two MVP
awards and earned somewhere in the
neighborhood of $200 million. Still,
nothing fills the void created by those
four losses.
Here comes his chance to change
that.
James is heading to the finals for the
second time, after he, Dwyane Wade
and Chris Bosh carried the Miami
Heat to a wild series-clinching come-
back victory in Game 5 of the Eastern
Conference title series in Chicago.
The season’s final challenge is the
Dallas Mavericks, who visit Miami in
Game 1 of the finals on Tuesday
night.
“I think about it all the time,” James
said of that 2007 series. “I even go
back and watch some of those games
and see how I wasn’t that good of a
player, especially on both ends of the
floor. You just try to use those
moments. I feel like there’s no way I
should be out on the floor and the
team that I’m on can’t win a game in
a series. I use that as motivation. ...
I’ve got a lot of motivation.”
What’s transpired in the last 12
months — being called a quitter by
his former fans in Cleveland, getting
knocked for a supposed inability to
finish, the continual hits the Heat have
taken for the moves they made last
summer — have only topped off that
tank of motivational fuel for James,
and he’s done his part to silence some
of those criticisms with an array of
sensational finishes in these playoffs.
Among the highlights: The 10
straight points against Boston to wrap
up Game 5 over
the now-
dethroned East
champs in the
second round.
The nine points
in an 11-2 run
that decided
Game 2 of the
LeBron James East finals
against Chicago.
The combined 71 feet of three made
jump shots in a 97-second span late in
Game 5 against the Bulls, including
the shot with 30 seconds left that put
Miami ahead for good after it had
trailed by 12 late in the fourth quarter.
Afterward, he called Thursday’s
finish the best few minutes of his life.
Might not be overstating things,
either.
“We know what kind of player he
is,” Bosh said. “We know how bad he
wants to be in this situation. He’s back
in the finals. He’s been here before.
He has that pain. He carries that pain
with him everywhere he goes. It’s
going to help him. It’s going to help us
as a team.”
He was so good in the East finals
that his rank among the game’s greats
became a source of debate Friday
sparked, somewhat ironically, by a
six-time NBA champion and Chicago
icon. In an interview with ESPN
Radio, Scottie Pippen said his long-
time Bulls teammate Michael Jordan
may be the game’s best all-time scor-
er, but James — in his estimation —
could be the game’s greatest player.
A championship ring could add
some credence to that argument.
“That’s what we came together for,”
James said. “That’s the goal. The only
goal.”
Anyone who watches James play
can marvel at his talents on the floor,
of course.
Including playoffs, his 27.8-point
average is third-best in NBA history
behind only Jordan and Wilt
Chamberlain. After eight seasons, he
ranks 11th on the league’s list of
active scorers — everyone else above
him on that list has played at least five
THE DAILY JOURNAL
more seasons.
But where he’s truly impressed the
Heat is how he works off the court, the
side they had to learn most in their
first season together.
“He has an incredible historical per-
spective for a young player,” Heat
coach Erik Spoelstra said. “He knows
about the history of the game and
great players and championship teams
in particular. But he really is a legiti-
mate student of the game. I always
hear him talking about games that
happened the night before. He’s
watching all the time. That really does
add to his IQ. He’s a high-motor,
hyper guy.”
Sometimes, that would be tough to
guess.
Outwardly, he’s tried to keep the
stiff upper lip when it comes to the
criticism that has come his way in
bunches since deciding to join the
Heat last July. When the Heat returned
to his old Cleveland stomping
grounds for the first time on Dec. 2,
James said he consciously tried not to
react to anything the crowd directed
his way, keeping focus on the game
instead.
Did it bother him? Of course.
He wasn’t going to let much of that
show then, and he likely won’t let
much of that show now, either.
“I understand a lot of the backlash
that came with me going to Miami,
but I understand also that I did what
was best for me, what was best for my
family and what was best for me
being a professional athlete,” James
said. “I understand what this league is
all about. I wanted to team up with
some guys that I understood that
would never die down in the moment.
The opportunity presented itself with
this great organization, and D-Wade
came to me and said it was possible.
We made it happen.”
He averaged 22 points in the finals
against the Spurs four years ago, when
the Cavaliers scored 82 points or less
in three of the four games. It was
largely all on him then, and the desire
to not shoulder too much of the load is
one of the reasons why he’s in Miami.

Rampage puts acting on hold,focuses on Hamill
By Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Although Rampage Jackson thinks he’s well on his way to
movie stardom, Hollywood can wait for another couple of years.
He’s still not quite finished with his mixed martial arts career.
The colorful former UFC light heavyweight champion says
directors and producers have been blowing up his agent’s phone
since his turn as B.A. Baracus in last summer’s blockbuster big-
screen version of “The A-Team.”
Jackson plans to be a full-time actor soon, but he still wants the
lucrative checks from several more fights in the octagon.
“I keep putting movies off to do fights, because fighting is my
primary career,” Jackson said. “Movies are something that I want
to get into after I fight. You’ve got to stay out there if you want to
succeed in movies. You’ve got to keep your face out there, but
luckily for me, a lot of people watch the UFC, so I’d like my agent
and everybody to understand that I have to keep fighting. I just
want to keep acting as an exit plan to MMA.”
At UFC 130 in Las Vegas on Saturday, he’s taking on another

Garcia,Palmer share the lead at Nelson

By Stephen Hawkins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
IRVING, Texas — While Ryan Palmer is
doing everything his caddie tells him, Sergio
Garcia is playing just fine without a practice
round at the Byron Nelson Championship.
Palmer and Garcia shared the second-round
lead at 8-under 132 after a sun-soaked round
Friday when the wind was gusting up to 36
mph.
Garcia posted his second consecutive 4-
under 66, after withdrawing from a British
Open qualifier five holes in and passing up a
practice round at TPC Four Seasons because
of an infected fingernail on his left hand.
After a bogey at the 523-yard par-4 third
hole when his approach flew over the green,
Garcia birdied three of the next four holes and
was bogey-free the rest of his round. Despite
the windy conditions, he hit 11 of 14 fairways
and 14 of 18 greens.
“You would be happy with those stats on a
day with not much wind,” Garcia said.
There also were some impressive shots
along the way for Garcia. The 31-year-old
Spaniard blasted out of a greenside bunker to
7 feet to save par at No. 14.

that I won’t be

seeing graduation day so close is
always a bit of a surprise.
Along with the customary year-
book signings, these last few weeks
of the school year have included the
creation of another memorial: a
time capsule. Each of us seniors
had a few weeks to fill up a single
manila envelope with memorabilia
from high school, items we feel
embody something about the last
four years; the resulting overstuffed
packages will remain unopened

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It’s hard to imagine a

Seriously, it feels like
the script was pieced

original “Hangover”
from 2009 become the
highest-grossing R-rated
comedy of all time (it
made more than $467
million worldwide).
But so much of the
allure of that first film
was the novelty of the
premise, the unpre-

tures, and the sense that
we, too, were wandering
in a daze, helping solve
the mystery of the
debauched night before.

Director Todd Phillips, who also co-

Craig Mazin and Scot Armstrong), appar-

many gags from the first film that are
repeated in “The Hangover Part II.”
Giving the people what they want is one
thing. Making nearly the exact same
movie a second time, but shifting the set-

Arrogant? Maybe a combination of the
two.

gets many of the best lines here, he’s also
even more infuriating.
Justin Bartha is along, too, but just bare-

was missing the entire time. In the sequel,
he remains safely ensconced at the
group’s luxury seaside resort, so he miss-

there’s less of him, there’s also more of

is nation’s top beach
By Mitch Stacy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SARASOTA, Fla. — After years as a head-turning brides-
maid in the best-beach rankings, Sarasota’s Siesta Beach is
finally the bride.
The wide slice of brilliant white sand and warm, emerald
water on Florida’s southwest Gulf coast was named the best
beach in the United States Friday in an annual survey by
Florida International University professor Steven Leatherman,
who is also known by the friendly nickname “Dr. Beach.”
Siesta Beach, 40 acres of almost pure quartz crystal sand on
the Siesta Key barrier island, was runner-up in Leatherman’s
rankings the past two years and was third in 2008.
“The sand is like sugar,” said Leatherman, director of FIU’s
Laboratory for Coastal Research. “Some people can’t believe
it. You have to bring sunglasses because it’s so bright. It’s super
soft, super fine. They claim to have the finest, whitest sand in
the world, and I can’t argue with that.”
San Diego’s Coronado Beach was runner-up. Rounding out
the top 10 were No. 3, Kahanamoku Beach in Waikiki,

JEONG

the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas.
“Honestly, it is ‘The Hangover’ dust
that gets me these jobs,” Jeong said earli-
er this week in an interview while pro-
moting “Hangover II.” “Everything I have
done in the last two years, in all honesty,
is directly because of ‘The Hangover.”’
Grateful as he sounds, Jeong was never
a starving actor. Long before he made it in
showbiz, he was well on the way to
becoming a physician. “I was doing my
residency in New Orleans and I won a
stand-up comedy performance,” recalled
the 41-year-old.
First prize was a stint at the Improv
comedy club in Los Angeles.
“I had to take up a day job at an HMO
here in L.A., and at night I would just do
stand-up comedy in town —— and all the
while, actually, hoping I could kind of go
back to acting,” Jeong said.
He finally landed a major movie role —
playing a physician, no less — in the 2007
smash “Knocked Up,” and then came
“The Hangover.”
“So, really, just four years ago, I was
working full time as a physician,” Jeong
noted. “Every day is, like, ‘I can’t believe,
I can’t believe I’m doing this.”’
Jeong remains a physician, having
renewed his license as a general practi-
tioner just last year, but is not currently
practicing medicine.
“It’s a hard-won skill,” he explained.
“You just can’t take the doctor out of you.
It’s funny, though, I was shooting
‘Hangover Part II’ in Bangkok, and one of
Ed Helms’ friends got sick with food poi-
soning and I was worried that it would be
a very serious infection. So, I got in doc-
tor mode and I’m on the phone and every-
one was listening, and I’m like, ‘OK, this
might be C. dificile colitis, and if that is
the case, you need to go to an ER stat.
They need to give some IV fluids and they
need to load up a banana bag for you and
they need to check his electrolytes right
now. If you are potassium depleted, that
could lead to arrhythmia.’
Honolulu, Hawaii; No. 4, Main Beach, East Hampton, N.Y.;
No. 5, Cape Hatteras in North Carolina; No. 6, St. George
Island State Park, Florida Panhandle; No. 7, Beachwalker
Park, Kiawah Island, S.C.; No. 8, Coast Guard Beach, Cape
Cod, Mass.; No. 9, Waimanalo Bay Beach Park, Oahu, Hawaii,
and No. 10, Cape Florida State Park near Miami.
Leatherman ranks beaches on 50 criteria, including the look
and feel of the sand, water quality, weather, facilities and
crowds. A top score is 250. Siesta Beach came in the 230s, los-
ing minor points because the vista is heavy on condos to the
north and south of the county park. Once a beach reaches the
pinnacle of Leatherman’s list, it is retired from consideration
for future rankings.

SCHOOL
Continued from page 17
is the best description. Really, what
made the word ring true for me was a
sense of involvement. From start to fin-
ish, I made myself about as busy as I
feasibly could with activities I found
interesting and valuable, both in and out
of the classroom.
For me, one of the constants of my
time in high school was that there was
never a dearth of choices and of teach-
ers ready to help students get involved,
not to mention friends with their own
activities to pull me into. Every day
walking to class in the morning I found
myself serenaded by students in the
marching band working on their latest
routines before school; at lunch dozens
of clubs beckoned from every corner of
campus; and there were always those of
us at school from dawn till dusk with
classes and rehearsals and anything else
under the sun.
In a sense, filling my time capsule
offered an interesting perspective on the
topic of the last column I wrote — I
know that in this era of budget cuts,
many academic and extracurricular
opportunities are falling by the wayside,
and some of the experiences available
to me remained because of the teachers,
parent volunteers and, of course,
fundraising that went on to keep every-
thing running.
So what’s my point? First of all, I’d
like to thank everybody involved at San
Mateo High School who made it possi-
ble to have such a great experience.
And second, I find myself coming out
of high school with a simple lesson, a
piece of advice that, while aimed at
those who are about to enter high
school, really applies to just about
every situation. There’s so much to be
said for involvement, for jumping in
and getting engaged; so why not make
a point of taking advantage of the
opportunities that come your way?

the classical music he was playing. His
interest grew once he had access to a
wide variety of songs. Bui picked up the
trumpet while at Corte Madera
Elementary School. At Woodside High,
Bui joined the jazz band, which he’s
played with throughout his four years at
the school.
Tennis also played a big part in Bui’s
life. He began playing at 6. While he
joined school teams, Bui also played at a
competitive level until 16 when he suf-
fered a heel injury during the off season
due to training. Bui was able to recover
and continue with the Woodside team,
which he was captain of all four years.
“He’s one of the most wonderful
young men you could ever have on a
team,” said his tennis coach Stan
Cartwright, who has been coaching at
Woodside throughout Bui’s tenure.
Cartwright described Bui as a courte-
ous young man who treats everyone
equally and never really bragged.

is “inherently undesirable.”
Zoning Administrator Blake Lyons
was still reviewing the appeal Friday and
said he will issue the Planning
Department’s formal response as part of
a staff report the City Council will con-
sider.
A week before the appeal, Lyons
announced a conditional use permit for
Planned Parenthood Mar Monte at 2890
El Camino Real. Lyons said he based the
decision on its adherence to code and
improvement plans rather than the actu-
al services provided.
Planned Parenthood will not offer sur-
gical abortions at the location now, said
Fran Linken, Planned Parenthood asso-
ciate director of public affairs.
The site itself is not really designed
for providing them at any point, she said.
The assurance, however, has not
stopped the opposition.

MEMORIAL

South San Francisco kicks off
Monday’s events at 10 a.m. The city pre-
viously offered a Memorial Day celebra-
tion and brought the festivities back last
year.
The City Council will honor the men
and women who have sacrificed for the
nation in a ceremony at the Eternal
Flame Sculpture in Orange Memorial
Park, located at the corner of Orange
Avenue and Tennis Drive. Also at the
event will be members of the Echo
Company Marines, Veterans of Foreign
Wars and retired judge Quentin Kopp.
Golden Gate Cemetery, 1300 Sneath
Lane in San Bruno, will have more than
112,000 flags waving Monday courtesy
of local scouts who will gather Saturday
to place them. Placing the flags will start
at 8:30 a.m. Volunteers are welcome to

While playing for Woodside, Bui was
named first team all league twice.
Naturally left handed, Bui is now
ambidextrous switching his dominant
hand when playing sports and writing.
Along the way, Bui has explored the
world of science. The summer after his
sophomore year he spent a month in
Vietnam with his dad who owns a com-
pany there and set up an internship for
his son. Going there offered some cul-
tural changes for Bui who learned he
needed to be more formal around those
there, even his own age. Also, it was
interesting to see the lab work first hand.
He may return this summer before
heading to Stanford in the fall. Bui has
aspirations of doing biotech work with
his father or maybe opening his own
business someday.

as a common fixture outside the San
Mateo Planned Parenthood with his
signs and a van adorned with graphic
photos and slogans — began protesting
the possibility of a Redwood City loca-
tion even before the permit was issued.
In his appeal declaration, Foti calls the
business “inherently immoral” and
claims it “corrupts young people”
through its sex education programs.
For its approval, “Redwood City can
expect in return a barrage of protest,
counter protest and possible breaches of
the peace,” Foti said.
Foti is joined by Ezia B. Villegas and
Clinton Ward, both of Redwood City,
Mary Wynne of Atherton and Jessica
Munn of Foster City.
The group say much of the distur-
bances at the location are due to pro-
choice protesters who honk, hold up
signs, blare music and argue with the
anti-abortion demonstrators.
“As a neighbor I object. ... More
should have been done to protect the
quiet of our mostly residential neighbor-
hood,” wrote Ward.
Planned Parenthood respects people’s
morning and the program will feature
Pete McCloskey, former congressman
and Korean War hero, as the key speak-
er.
Hillsborough will pay its respect with
the help of floats as well as vintage, mil-
itary and other unique vehicles in the
second annual Memorial Day Parade
starting at 10:30 a.m. at Hillsborough
Town Hall, 1600 Floribunda Ave.
“We are hoping this year will be like
last year, with hundreds of residents lin-
ing the streets, dressed in patriotic colors
and waving flags. It is a wonderful com-
munity event,” Councilwoman Christine
Krolik wrote in a press release.
The parade route, which begins at
Town Hall and ends at North
Hillsborough School, will be marked
with red, white and blue bunting.
A special memorial tribute will be
held at North Hillsborough School at the
end of the parade. The school’s field will
also host various food trucks along with
carnival games, crafts, live music and
other entertainment.

right to protect and hasn’t faced many
problems from those who aren’t neces-
sary pro-life but just don’t want a clinic
in their backyard, Linken said.
Morality aside, Weiler argued in the
appeal that the project is not exempt
from review under the California
Environmental Quality Act and will
reduce area parking because it was
granted an exemption from on-site
spaces.
The proposed use “is considered by a
majority in the community a noxious
use” that will stigmatize nearby property
owners and business, Weiler wrote.
If the clinic’s approval stands, the
5,333-square-foot facility is expected to
open in early 2012 and provide preven-
tative health care, family planning,
reproductive health, prenatal and pri-
mary care. Until then, some services will
be offered in a mobile van unit parked on
the property three days per week.
As part of the approval, Planned
Parenthood agreed to sidewalk improve-
ments, on-site security and frequent
communication with police to mitigate
anticipated demonstrations.
A few masses are also being held
Monday.
Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in
Colma will hold a service at 11 a.m. at
the Mausoleum Chapel, 1500 Mission
Road.
At the same time, Holy Cross Catholic
Cemetery at 1800 Santa Cruz Ave. in
Menlo Park will also hold a mass.
An outdoor mass will be held at 9:30

On May 5, 1868, Gen. John Logan, in
his capacity as commander in chief of
the veterans’ organization Grand Army
of the Republic, issued a proclamation
that “Decoration Day” be observed
nationwide. It was observed for the first
time on May 30 that same year. The date
was chosen since it was not the anniver-
sary of a battle. Memorial Day was first
used in 1882 and became more common
after World War II. It was not declared
with the official name under federal law
until 1967.
owned by the Internet,” Corbett said.
The bill would require websites to
remove the protected information for
users younger than 18 at their parents’
request. Corbett said she introduced the
bill to “protect people from identity theft
and to protect children from predators.”
“There is absolutely no evidence this
will hurt business,” she argued. “It will
build trust with consumers.”
Internet companies opposing the
measure said in a May 16 letter that the
bill would violate constitutional free
speech protections.

A flurry of social activity will envelop you during the
coming months. As a result, you are apt to establish
several new relationships with people who could
become lifelong friends.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Because you’ll make
a special effort to treat all of your friends equally,
chances are you’ll end up being the most popular
person in your group.

out confrontations, but if you should be challenged,
it’s not your nature to cut and run, and you’ll respond

ers have to offer might have limitations.

critical issues head-on instead of seeking ways to
postpone them. Delays aren’t likely to improve mat-

CONTRACT
On June 14, 2011, at 7:00
p.m., and pursuant to Gov-
ernment Code section
4217.12, the City of Millbrae
will hold a public hearing to
consider whether entering

tion for a technical and fi-
nancial energy audit of the
City's facilities. Depending
on the results of the energy
audit, and if determined to

the City, the City will pro-
ceed with the energy serv-
ice contract.
The hearing will be held in
City Council Chambers, lo-
cated at 621 Magnolia Ave-
nue, Millbrae, CA 94030.
Interested parties may pres-
ent their views at the hear-
ing.

Clinton: Bin Laden raid a watershed for Pakistan By Anne Gearan
and Nahal Toosi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ISLAMABAD — The killing of
Osama bin Laden is a watershed
moment for Pakistan’s confrontation
with homegrown terrorism, U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton said Friday. She sought to
patch relations rocked by knowledge
that the terror mastermind lived for
years in a country receiving billions
in U.S. counter-terror aid and that
the U.S. didn’t trust its ally enough
to alert Pakistani leaders that the raid
was coming.
REUTERS “We have reached a turning point”
U.S.Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gestures during a speech at the launch following the long hunt for bin
of a Global Partnership for Girls’and Women’s Education. Laden, Clinton said after intensive
meetings in the Pakistani capital
under tight security.
“It is up to the Pakistani people to
choose what kind of country they
wish to live in,” Clinton said, “and it
is up to the leaders of Pakistan to
deliver results.”
Clinton and Adm. Mike Mullen,
chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of
Staff, praised Pakistan’s stand
against some militants and chal-
lenged its leaders to take decisive
steps to jointly take on al-Qaida.
Both the senior leadership of al-
Qaida and the Taliban are thought to
live in Pakistan, and affiliated mili-
tants use safe havens in Pakistan to
attacks U.S. forces fighting next
door in Afghanistan.
U.S. officials said the U.S. and
Pakistan have agreed to take some
specific measures together, and
Clinton referred to joint operations
coming soon.
There were no details on targets or
plans. But in one sign of a slight
warming trend, CIA and Pakistani
intelligence officials completed a
joint search of the bin Laden com-
pound in Abbottabad Friday, a
Pakistani official said.
The joint search was part of a num-
ber of confidence building measures
agreed to by CIA deputy Mike
Morell and Pakistani intelligence
chief Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha in a
meeting in Islamabad last week, U.S.
and Pakistani officials said, speaking
on condition of anonymity to discuss
sensitive negotiations.

Russia offers to mediate

Canadian mom defends keeping gender secret
By Rob Gillies
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO — A Canadian cou-
ple says it’s none of the world’s
business to know their baby’s gen-
der despite a firestorm of criticism
over their controversial decision to
keep the infant’s sex a secret.
Kathy Witterick said her 4-month-
old baby Storm should be able to
develop its own sexual identity
without having to conform to social
stereotypes or bow to predetermined
expectations associated with gender.
Witterick, 38, and her husband,
David Stocker, 39, have faced a
backlash since the couple’s story
first appeared in the Toronto Star
last weekend. Witterick says their
critics are being judgmental.
Witterick said in an email Friday
that the idea that “the whole world
must know what is between the
baby’s legs is unhealthy, unsafe and
voyeuristic. We know — and we’re
keeping it clean, safe, healthy and
private (not secret!).”
Witterick said Storm has a sex
which those closest to him or her
acknowledge and said they don’t
know yet about the baby’s color or
dress preferences.
Witterick and her husband have
also been criticized for the way they
are raising their other two children.
Five-year-old Jazz and two-year-old
Kio are well aware that they’re
boys, but have been encouraged to
shun gender norms and express
themselves in whatever way they
wish.
Witterick said Jazz has the right to
choose his clothes and hairstyle and
said he chooses freely to wear pink
despite criticism.
“Jazz has a strong sense of being
a boy, and he understands that his
choices to wear pink and have long
hair are not always acceptable to his
community,” she wrote.
ex-ally Gadhafi’s exit
DEAUVILLE, France — Russia
abandoned one-time ally Moammar
Gadhafi and offered Friday to medi-
ate a deal for the Libyan leader to
leave the country he has ruled for
more than 40 years.
The striking proposal by a leading
critic of the NATO bombing cam-
paign reflects growing international
frustration with the Libyan crisis
and a desire by the Kremlin for
influence in the rapidly changing
Arab landscape.
With Gadhafi increasingly isolat-
ed and NATO jets intensifying their
attacks, Russia may also be eyeing
Libya’s oil and gas and preparing
Around the world
for the prospect that the lucrative
Libyan market will fall into full
rebel control.
Mladic could be extradited
as early as Monday
BELGRADE, Serbia — Ratko
Mladic is eating strawberries and
receiving family visits in a Serbian
jail, but as early as Monday the ex-
general could be on his way to face
a war-crimes tribunal in The Hague,
possibly joining his former ally
Radovan Karadzic on trial for some
of the worst horrors of the Balkan
wars.
