OBAMA CHARTS END TO AFGHAN WAR BY 2016

As the battle over the proposal
to demolish the old Ice Center at
Bridgepointe Shopping Center
continues to heat up, the San
Mateo Planning Commission
weighed in at a study session
Tuesday night by urging the owner
to reopen the rink until matters are
resolved and stressed the signi-
cance of the city maintaining a
unique recreational facility.
Tuesdays meeting was the rst
chance for city ofcials to publi-
cally comment on the proposal to
demolish the rink and the commis-
sion demanded studies concerning
trafc and nancial impacts, as
well as an analysis of San Mateos
current recreational amenities and
the citys ability to force the rink
be reopened.
In March, Bridgepointes
owner, SPI Holdings, led a sec-
ond pre-application to the citys
Planning Division to amend the
sites Master Plan to allow it to
demolish the rink, defer a recre-
ational use elsewhere and create
more retail space in its place.
Per the Master Plan that was
adopted in 1998, SPI cannot
demolish the rink without support
from the Planning Commission
and approval from the City
Council.
SPI closed the rink in June 2013
and the commissioners said it was
a disservice to the public and in
poor taste.
I can understand SPI looking at
this site and saying gee, our
shopping center would be better
off if instead of an ice rink here we
had a series of retail stores, said
Planning Commission Chair
Chris Massey. I can understand
SPI coming to the city and asking
for a change in the Master Plan to
allow for that. What I dont under-

Planning Commision says Bridgepointe Ice Center should remain until matters are resolved

hes active in local politics and
wants more government trans-

I cant help but notice the num-
ber of California legislators that
are corrupt and getting suspend-

the problem is worse than just
theres a few bad apples. I think
theres something wrong with how
we do politics in this state.

Burlingame strives to make parks more dog friendly

Aiming to bring more business
to Burlingames Broadway is the
goal of a summit the city plans to
host in September.
The Future Broadway Summit
will bring merchants, property
owners and business owners from
the business district together to
air concerns and come up with a
plan for giving Broadway a shot in
the arm.
For a long time, weve asked
merchants over and over again
what theyd like to see, said
Councilman Jerry Deal. They
werent sure for a long time. There
were a lot of changing ideas about
how to revitalize Broadway and it
will be good to give the communi-
ty an idea of what they want.
With the Downtown Burlingame
Streetscape project, many people
are wondering if Broadway will get
its own revamp, but about a decade
ago the city did upgrade the streets
on Broadway and also created more
parking lots. Businesses need to
adapt to what is in demand today,
Deal said.
Something has got to change,
he said. You change for the times
or you lose out. The problem is
its a small block and it doesnt
attract a lot of activity during the
day. I know that a lot of people say
theyd like to have a bakery, but if
you have a bakery, youd have to
go to the bakery and buy things.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The CEO of neighborhood social
media site NextDoor pleaded not guilty
Tuesday morning to felony hit-and-run
for leaving the scene of an accident by
another driver he allegedly caused
while unsafely changing lanes on
Highway 101 last summer.
Nirav Nalin Tolia, 42, of San
Francisco appeared in San Mateo
County Superior Court with attorney
Daniel Barton to enter his plea to the
single felony. He also waived his right
to a speedy trial and was scheduled for
a preliminary hearing July 22.
Approximately two weeks ago, the
District Attorneys Ofce decided to
charge Tolia in the Aug. 4, 2013,
Brisbane incident that left Patrice
Motley with broken bones in her left
hand and neck and back injuries.
Prosecutors say Tolia was coopera-
tive with police but charged him with a
felony rather than a misdemeanor
because the hit-and-run involved
injury, said Chief
Deputy District
Attorney Karen
Guidotti.
Tolias SUV did
not strike the
womans Honda Del
Sol but prosecutors
say he caused her to
spin out of control
180 degrees across
two lanes of northbound Highway 101
traffic and into the concrete center
divider while trying to avoid his lane
change just south of the Candlestick
off-ramp. Tolia did not stop and con-
tinued to his San Francisco home.
Police used witness accounts of Tolias
license plate to track him the follow-
ing day.
The law requires a driver to remain at
the scene of an accident. If Tolia is
convicted of not doing so, he faces up
to three years in prison.
Motley also led a civil lawsuit ear-
lier this month against Tolia seeking
damages for negligence and intention-
al infliction of emotional distress.
Motley claims in the suit that Tolia,
driving with his wife and child, was a
impatient to overtake a slower vehi-
cle in front of him when he tried mov-
ing into the right lane where she was.
Motley honked her horn and Tolias
wife alerted him to the impending col-
lision which made him get back into
his own lane, but the chain of events
had already started, the suit stated.
Motley claims Tolia and his wife saw
her lose control of the car but ed with-
out stopping to see if she, her passen-
ger or her dog were injured or deceased.
Tolia told police he ed because he was
shaken and didnt call 911 because
he was in shock, the Motley suit
stated.
Tolia has no criminal record and
remains free from custody on his own
recognizance. He is due back in court
June 12 for a review conference.
He is CEO of NextDoor, a website
used by police agencies and neighbor-
hoods to help users connect with each
other.
Barton did not return a call for com-
ment.

MILLBRAE I
recently read an
article in the trade
journal American
Funeral Director
about the famous
quote by the late
Sir William Ewart
Gladstone, the celebrated English four term
Prime Minister who was known for his
colorful oratories and speeches on the floor
of Parliament. This 19
th
century statesman
was renowned for many unique sayings, but
he is most noted among Funeral Directors
for saying this: Show me the manner in
which a nation cares for its dead, and I will
measure with mathematical exactness the
tender mercies of its people, their respect for
the laws of the land and their loyalty to high
ideals. This quote is very lyrical and well
thought out. It has become a long time
custom for many Funeral Homes to display
this quote on a plaque for all to see. The
meaning is obvious and is a direct
comparison between caring for our fallen
loved ones and the way we care for
ourselves, our community and our society.
To many observers it may appear that
weve lost the motivation to care for our
loved ones in a proper way, and that our
society has become misguided. Taking into
consideration the way our government
leaders sometimes act, without the maturity
to function unselfishly, is disturbing, and the
reasons they got elected can be alarming.
Also, in the eyes of logical people violence
should be against our nature, but seemingly
is embedded in our way of life. It is topsy-
turvy for a culture to view cruelty and tribal
brutality as a form of normality, and for love
to be viewed as an obscenity.
Yes, some say our society is falling apart,
but looking at the overall big picture I see
most people yearning to live a peaceful and
courteous life with those around them. Most
people are not violent. Most people want to
be accepted. Most people want to be happy.
Remember that hate is taught.
Wouldnt it make more sense for love to
be taught? Teaching youngsters to be
curious and to enjoy the differences of
those around them would be a good start.
They say that its hard to teach old dogs new
tricks. But old dogs will not be here forever,
and with effort every young dog could be
cultivated with ideals for supporting others
with respect. Putting this into practice may
seem daunting, but its not impossible and
over time could be valuable for our future.
Humanity has always been burdened with
a good percentage of bad guys. But, all in
all, the ideals that the majority of us value
and strive to promote, life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, are shared in our core.
Going back to Gladstones quote, I see
the vast majority of the families we serve at
the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS
deeply committed to doing the right thing
for their loved ones. They come to us with a
desire for closure and to enact final tributes
for those theyve cherished. Whether public
or private their feelings are similar, and
showing one last bit of proper care is their
goal. For me this is a sign of hope, showing
that overall we are a society of good people
with a nature to live in harmony and peace.
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

Four juveniles caught
for downtown graffiti
San Mateo police detained four juve-
niles for grafti downtown after being
alerted to spray painting on a wall in
the alley between the Peninsula Italian
American Social Club and the Blu-
White Cleaners Friday night.

ent and involved. They were contacted
at their homes and linked to the tag-
ging activity, according to police.
All four boys were released to their
families and the vandalism reports for-
warded to San Mateo County Juvenile
Probation for assessment and action.

DA: Rec worker
pocketed dance class fees
The front desk worker at a Menlo
Park recreation center pocketed the $8
fees paid by students using the facility
instead of actually registering them for
dance class, according to prosecutors
who charged him with misdemeanor
embezzlement.
The loss to the Arrillaga Family
Resource Center is estimated at rough-
ly $200.
Michael Benjamin Thulander, 48, of
San Mateo, was responsible for col-
lecting the $8 recreation fee but
instead last June took it for himself on
several occasions, prosecutors said.
Thulander pleaded not guilty to the
charge and asked for a court-appointed
attorney. He was scheduled for trial
Aug. 18.
He is free from custody and returns to
court July 15 for a pretrial conference.

A 21-year-old man who reportedly
smashed the windows of three East Palo Alto
churches in search of a bathroom earlier this
year pleaded no contest to felony vandalism
in return for three years probation and credit
for time served.
Robert Banks, of San Jose, accepted a
judges plea deal offer at a pretrial confer-
ence rather than face a jury on three felony
counts of vandalism. He was immediately
sentenced to 108 days in jail with credit for
the same amount and ordered to repay the
vandalized churches in an amount to be
determined.
At about 4 a.m. Jan. 26, East Palo Alto
police reported nding Banks smashing one
church window with a
shovel and nearby found
two other churches with
similarly broken win-
dows.
The three facilities
vandalized are Church of
the Living God and Mt.
Olive Missionary
Baptist Church, both on
Pulgas Avenue, and Open
Door Church of God on OConnor Street.
The damage is estimated at more than
$5, 000.
After his arrest, Banks told authorities he
needed to use the bathroom but he could not
nd such facilities in any of the churches,
according to prosecutors.
Santa Barbara attacks
prompt action from lawmakers
SACRAMENTO The California
Legislature must do more to deter the type of
violence that left six young people dead
over the weekend near the University of
California, Santa Barbara, Democratic law-
makers said Tuesday.
That includes establishing statewide pro-
tocols for all law enforcement ofcers who
are called to check on mentally troubled
people, they said.
Additional steps are also needed to identi-
fy young people with severe mental illness
and get them needed services, said state sen-
ators, who spent 35 minutes eulogizing the
students at the state Capitol and expressing
frustration that such rampages continue
despite previous efforts to end the problem.
Meanwhile, two Assembly members pro-
posed legislation that would create a gun
violence restraining order for use when fam-
ily members and friends notify law enforce-
ment about someone who is threatening
violence.

Barack Obama delivers an announcement on the number of troops that will remain in Afghanistan
after the formal drawdown at the end of this year, in the White House Rose Garden.
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON Charting an end to
Americas longest war, President Barack
Obama announced plans Tuesday for keep-
ing nearly 10,000 U.S. troops in
Afghanistan after this year but then with-
drawing virtually all by the close of 2016
and the conclusion of his presidency.
The drawdown would allow Obama to
bring Americas military engagement in
Afghanistan to an end while seeking to pro-
tect the gains made in a war in which he sig-
nicantly intensied U.S. involvement.
We have to recognize that Afghanistan
will not be a perfect place, and it is not
Americas responsibility to make it one,
Obama declared during an appearance in the
White House Rose Garden.
He credited American forces, which were
rst deployed by President George W. Bush
within a month of the Sept. 11, 2001,
attacks, with striking significant blows
against al-Qaidas leadership, eliminating
Osama bin Laden and preventing
Afghanistan from being used as a base for
strikes against the U.S. He said: Now were
nishing the job weve started.
The drawdown blueprint is contingent on
Afghanistans government signing a stalled
bilateral security agreement. While current
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has refused
to sign the accord, U.S. ofcials say theyre
condent that either of the candidates run-
ning to replace him will nalize the deal.
In fact, both candidates who are on the
ballot in next months runoff former
Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah and ex-
Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai
welcomed Obamas announcement Tuesday.
The size and scope of the residual U.S.
force largely mirrors what Pentagon of-
cials had sought, which appeared to give
Obama cover with some Republicans,
including House Speaker John Boehner, R-
Ohio. But some of presidents harshest crit-
ics on foreign policy Sens. John McCain
of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South
Carolina, and Kelly Ayotte of New
Hampshire called the decision short-
sighted and warned that it would embolden
enemies.
The presidents decision to set an arbi-
trary date for the full withdrawal of U.S.
troops in Afghanistan is a monumental mis-
take and a triumph of politics over strate-
gy, the three Republicans said in a joint
statement.
U.S. forces had already been on track to
stop combat operations in Afghanistan by
the end of 2014, more than 13 years after the
American-led invasion. But Obama wants to
keep some troops there to train Afghan secu-
rity forces, launch counterterrorism mis-
sions and protect progress made in a war that
has left at least 2,181 Americans dead and
thousands more wounded.

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama may soon sign off on a project to
train and equip moderate Syrian rebels, in
an open move that would significantly
boost U.S. support to forces who have
been asking for three years for military
help in their quest to oust President Bashar
Assad, administration officials said
Tuesday.
The step would send a limited number of
American troops to Jordan to be part of a
regional training mission that would
instruct carefully vetted members of the
Free Syrian Army on tactics, including
counterterrorism operations, the officials
said. They said Obama has not yet given
approval for the initiative, and that there is
still internal discussion about its merits
and potential risks.
In a foreign policy speech on Wednesday
to the U.S. Military Academy, Obama is
expected to frame Syria as a counterterror-
ism challenge and indicate that he will
expand assistance to the opposition,
according to the officials. However, he is
not likely to announce the specific pro-
gram, which is still being finalized, the
officials said.
The officials spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not author-
ized to publicly discuss administration
deliberations.
The State Department, Pentagon, intelli-
gence community, along with many in
Congress who back the move, have con-
cluded that Assad will not budge without a
change in the military situation on the
ground, according to the officials. At the
same time, there are growing fears about
the threat posed by al-Qaida-linked and
inspired extremists fighting in Syria, the
officials said.
The Senate Armed Services Committee
last week passed a defense bill that author-
izes the Defense Department to provide
training and equipment to vetted elements
of the Syrian opposition.
The US already has covert support opera-
tions in place for the Syrian opposition,
and it is not yet clear how the new program
would work. The United States has spent
$287 million so far in nonlethal aid on
Syrias civil war, now in its fourth year.
Rebel commanders have been asking the
U.S. for lethal assistance as theyve seen
gains wiped out one after another, but the
U.S. has been reluctant to move to that
kind of aid for fear weapons could end up in
the hands of extremist rebels who might
then turn on neighboring Israel or against
U.S. interests.
Bill would require
condoms during porn filming
SACRAMENTO Porn performers in
California must wear condoms during lm
shoots and their employers must provide reg-
ular testing under a bill that passed the state
Assembly on Tuesday.
The bill, AB1576 by Assemblyman Isadore
Hall, D-Compton, advanced to the Senate on
a 41-12 vote, the minimum numbers of votes
needed. The bill follows a similar mandate in
Los Angeles County, approved by voters in
2012.
Hall said his bill is a workplace safety
measure to curb the spread of sexually trans-
mitted diseases, citing recent industry-
opposed moratoriums on adult lm shoots
after actors were diagnosed.
Whether you work in agriculture, manu-
facturing, health care, food service or any
other industry, all workers deserve a safe
workplace to make a living, said Hall, who
tried and failed twice before to pass such leg-
islation.
Lawmakers could be
suspended without pay
SACRAMENTO Responding to a string
of scandals, the state Senate voted Tuesday in
favor of a proposed constitutional amend-
ment that would allow the Legislature to
withhold pay from suspended lawmakers.
The bill, SCA17, passed Tuesday on a 31-3
vote, following a stir when a Republican law-
maker blasted the Senate leaders response to
the scandals and proposed halting tax collec-
tion for the constituents of the suspended
lawmakers.
The amendment would go before voters on
the November 2014 ballot if two-thirds of
the state Assembly approves it.
In March, the Senate voted to suspend
Sens. Ron Calderon and Leland Yee, who face
federal corruption charges, and Sen. Rod
Wright, who was convicted for lying about
living in his district. All are Democrats and
continue to draw their paychecks.
Bill adds selfies to
California revenge porn ban
SACRAMENTO Legislation that updates
Californias ban on so-called revenge porn to
clarify that it includes seles, or pictures
taken by the victim, has passed the Senate.
SB1255 by Sen. Anthony Cannella fol-
lows his legislation last year, which was
signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown.
Bill allows increases
in vehicle registration fees
SACRAMENTO The state Assembly nar-
rowly passed a bill allowing counties to
increase vehicle registration fees to raise
money for ngerprint identication pro-
grams. AB2393 passed Tuesday on a 41-27
vote over objections from Republican law-
makers who likened it to an under-the-table
tax increase.
Democratic Assemblyman Marc Levine of
San Rafael says the money raised through his
bill will help local law enforcement ofcers
quickly scan ngerprints. Counties could
double their charge on vehicle registration
fees to $2.
Bill would allow local
groundwater management
SACRAMENTO The state Senate
approved legislation Tuesday asking local
agencies to develop plans to manage ground-
water, a supply that is largely unregulated
throughout the state even amid a statewide
drought.
We shouldnt waste the opportunity to act
this year, said the bills author, Sen. Fran
Pavley, D-Agoura Hills.
Careful reporting and monitoring of
groundwater levels is critical to ensuring the
supply is not totally diminished, said
Pavley, who added that the intent of her bill,
SB1168, is to allow local agencies to man-
age their own water.
Bill dedicates funding
for agriculture education
SACRAMENTO The state Assembly has
unanimously approved legislation to support
funding for agriculture education.
AB2033 advanced Tuesday after agriculture
groups say changes in school funding threat-
ened programs that support farming and tech-
nical education.
Democratic Assemblyman Rudy Salas of
Bakerseld says his bill guarantees future
funding for programs such as Future Farmers
of America. Budget committees in both hous-
es have kept $4.1 million in matching grants
for agriculture training in their proposals.
Bill would boost data
breach notice requirements
SACRAMENTO Retailers would have to
notify customers of data breaches under a bill
that passed the state Assembly.
AB1710 responds to the breaches at
Target, Neiman Marcus and eBay. It heads to
the Senate after passing on a 43-24 vote
Tuesday. Arecent report by the attorney gen-
erals ofce found 20 million Californians
had information exposed in breaches during
the last two years.
Bill extends time for
sex abuse victims to report
SACRAMENTO California lawmakers
have approved legislation that would extend
the amount of time victims of childhood sex-
ual abuse have to come forward.
SB926 by Sen. Jim Beall would give vic-
tims until age 40 to report alleged abuse they
suffered as a child. The current statute of lim-
itations is age 28.
Beall, a Democrat from San Jose, says the
current law favors abusers who can simply
wait out the clock to avoid being prosecut-
ed.
U.S. nears decision on
training Syrian rebels
By Deb Riechmann
WASHINGTON Congress is stepping
up pressure on the White House to confront
Russia over allegations that it is cheating
on a key nuclear arms treaty a faceoff that
could further strain U.S.-Moscow relations
and dampen President Barack Obamas
hopes to add deeper cuts in nuclear arsenals
to his legacy.
Butting heads with Russian President
Vladimir Putin over compliance with a 26-
year-old treaty to eliminate an entire class
of nuclear weapons is not something that
ts into Obamas reset with Russia, which
already was stalled after Russia granted asy-
lum to National Security Agency leaker
Edward Snowden and annexed Ukraines
Crimean Peninsula. But the issue has been
simmering for a few years and Republicans
on Capitol Hill want Obama to address it
head-on.
The Russians are accused of testing a new
ground-launched cruise missile in violation
of the treaty. Russian ofcials say they have
looked into the allegations and consider the
matter closed.
Its unclear why the administration, which
has raised the issue with Russia through
diplomatic channels, doesnt want to pub-
licly blow the whistle on Moscows alleged
violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear
Forces Treaty signed in 1987. The treaty
banned all U.S. and Russian land-based bal-
listic and cruise missiles with ranges
between 300 miles and 3,400 miles.

OPINION 9
Whats wrong with education?
Editor,
I wish to thank the Daily Journal for
the excellent article El Camino High
School to lose auto shop program in
the May 27 edition describing the deci-
sions surrounding the closure of our
autotech program. I couldnt help
being amused when I read one adminis-
trators comment that, students should
not only be able to contribute to the
technology sector but they should be
leading the next generation. This is a
prime example of what I meant when I
said that, although well-meaning,
many administrators are out of touch
with the needs and interests of some
students.
Obviously, these people have never
taken the time to look under the hood
of their BMWs. Have they ever won-
dered why small repairs can cost over
$500 or what turns the Check Engine
light on? If they had, they would nd
that modern vehicles are equipped with
engine control, power train, chassis,
ABS and emissions computers that
control every facet of a vehicles dri-
vability. Modern vehicles are at the
pinnacle of 21st-century technology.
When I think of technology, I think
of computers and the skills and abili-
ties, and opportunities surrounding
them. Auto technology is all that.
There is an exciting and rewarding
career afforded to the student who can
diagnose and repair 21st-century vehi-
cles. Unfortunately, none of our stu-
dents will be among them.
Parents, be active, attend school
board meetings and express your con-
cerns. The school board members rep-
resent you.

Hands-on experience
Editor,
Friends have asked why I support
Juan Raigoza for San Mateo County
controller in next Tuesdays election.
I took ofce as controller in January
1999 and sought outside help from
Deloitte & Touche to solve many
pressing problems and to train our staff
in performance auditing. Juan Raigoza
was an integral part of that expert team
so 13 years ago we hired him into pub-
lic service.
Raigoza is now assistant controller,
operationally in charge of all con-
troller divisions. He helped the ofce
produce award-winning nancial
reports to the public, readable in every-
day language. He helped the ofce
become technically up to date and more
efcient with computer technology. He
supports good new ideas and chal-
lenges poor use of taxpayer funds.
Government nance and accounting
has become way too complex. The man
with the hands-on experience to man-
age, simplify and make it more under-
standable is Juan Raigoza.
I urge you to join me in supporting
Raigoza on Election Day.

E
nrollment is projected to
grow in the Sequoia Union
High School District from
8,300 to more than 10,000 students
by 2020-21 and enrollment in its
feeder districts is also starting to
grow. So how does the district meet
the growing demand for its classroom
space?
The answer seems to lie in a $265
million bond measure which would
allow the district to create two small
schools of 300 to 400 students while
adding six additional classrooms to
Menlo-Atherton High School. That
last project is called key after district
ofcials agreed to shift East Palo Alto
students currently being bused to
Carlmont High School in Belmont to
the closer Menlo-Atherton.
Addressing opposition that says
the district is not using its current
funding properly, the district is a vic-
tim of its diverse socioeconomic stu-
dent population. It has been hit hard
by the revised state Local Control
Funding Formula because overall, it
has revenue to support itself as a
basic aid district, but still does not
receive the funding required to meet
the needs of its low-income popula-
tion. Districts in other parts of the
state that have a large percentage of
low-income students typically are not
basic aid and will receive their share
of new state money specied for that
population. It is an unfortunate reali-
ty that is unique to this area that has
signicant pockets of both rich and
poor populations.
That aside, there is a need for new
facilities to meet the needs of the
growing student population and the
district has been deliberate and
methodical in determining a responsi-
ble path forward in contending with,
and indeed, thriving with the change.
By shifting borders, the district is
aiming to x an equity issue that
required students from East Palo Alto
to be bused to a school far from their
neighborhoods. It also is aiming to
add new schools with small popula-
tions that will meet the overow
needs of the district rather than
impacting the already established
schools.
The price of the bond called for in
Measure Ais no small matter. It is
$265 million and will mean an
increase of approximately $16 per
$100,000 assessed value of a proper-
t y. That means the owner of a home
with an assessed value of $700,000
will see an increase of $112 on their
annual tax bill. However, the benet
outweighs the cost. Crowded schools
means additional challenges in the
classroom and good schools equal
higher property values. District of-
cials have been proactive in engaging
the community about the necessity of
the projects to meet growing enroll-
ment challenges. Measure Ais the
result of that community engagement.
It deserves your support.

S
chools have taught and graded a kaleidoscope
of individual brains by a single program, a
single set of criteria. They have rewarded and
conditioned some skills to the exclusion of others, fail-
ing those whose gifts are not on the cultures most-wanted
list, thus convincing them for life that they are unworthy.
Marilyn Furguson, The Aquarian Conspiracy.
Its graduation time again and the reports on the achieve-
ment of graduates in our high schools arent so great. Its
been reported that educators are dismayed that the achieve-
ment of fourth- and eighth-
graders has been increasing
while high schools arent
producing improved test
scores. The education estab-
lishment laments: Only
about one quarter of
Americas high school sen-
iors are performing pro-
ciently or better in math and
just 4 in 10 in reading. ...
And theyre not improv-
ing.
It makes you wonder if
maybe a lot of kids, when
they get into high school,
begin to realize the futility of it all. When you consider
what many high school students have to look forward to,
whether theyre college material or not, its easy to see
from where some of them might be coming. Many of the
college bound can look forward to huge debt after they grad-
uate. Even those who drop out have to pay for whatever
loans they acquired. How can they look forward to moving
on to possible marriage, family or even an independent life
when they are burdened by so much debt for many years to
come and the job market leaves so much to be desired?
What does the education establishment expect when they
have concentrated so exclusively on reading and math
achievement test scores and preparation for college? What
makes them think that all high school graduates should
aspire to higher education? As a very astute letter writer in
the May 20 Journal wrote: Unfortunately, many adminis-
trators, though well-meaning, are totally out of touch with
the real world and the needs and interests of the total school
population.
How many of those who are not college bound have much
hope for a rewarding future? How many have learned a trade,
become involved in a vocation that will adequately sustain
them after graduation? How many jobs or careers avail-
able to both will provide the income necessary to enjoy
condence in a decent future? In the meantime, how many
students nd anything in the curricula of most high schools
that interests them and offers them some of lifes lessons
they need to learn to help them succeed after graduation?
Besides skills for immediate employment, these lessons
would include such things as: 1). Every choice they make in
life will contribute to their growth or destruction; 2). Self-
respect and respect for others; 3). The importance of ques-
tioning and challenging the status quo on the way to devel-
oping sustaining values; 4). Appreciation of their own
uniqueness and the development of their talents and gifts;
5). The basics of good nutrition and personal health,
including the importance of sexual responsibility; 6). The
appreciation of and practice of honesty, decency, responsi-
bility and compassion; 7.) And along with a basic under-
standing of history, geography and various aspects of sci-
ence and the arts, the rewards of curiosity, creative thinking
and knowledge.
Skills in reading and math alone cannot develop the kind
of citizen we need for a more productive and humane socie-
t y. Parents and educators must work together to develop a
program of education that helps a child become a well-func-
tioning human being not a human doing and help
develop a desire for justice, a desire for community and a
love of humanity. Our high schools may be much better
able to raise the level of achievement if they concentrate
on educating the whole student and offering them a greater
sense of hope and energy toward a brighter future, especial-
ly since many high schools have to deal with students
whose negligent parents are not there for them and a corpo-
rate culture that values prots more than the welfare of our
children.
As Henry A. Giroux wrote in his riveting book,
Americas Education Decit and the War on Youth: The
greatest threat to our children does not come from lowered
educational standards, the absence of privatized choice
schemes or a lack of rigid testing measures. On the con-
trary, it comes from a society that refuses to view children
as a social investment, one that consigns 16.3 million
children to live in poverty, reduces critical learning to mas-
sive testing programs, promotes policies that eliminate
most crucial health and public services and denes mas-
culinity through the degrading celebration of a gun culture,
extreme sports and the spectacles of violence that permeate
corporate-controlled media industries.

NEW YORK More promising
signs that the economy is strengthen-
ing after its winter slowdown pushed
stocks higher on Tuesday.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose for the fourth straight day and
ended at another all-time high. It
closed above 1,900 for the rst time
on Friday. Small-company stocks and
other riskier parts of the market, like
Internet and biotechnology compa-
nies, also gained after being beaten
down over the past few months.
The government reported that orders
to U.S. factories for long-lasting man-
ufactured goods rose unexpectedly in
April, powered by a surge in demand
for military aircraft. Also, the
Conference Boards consumer confi-
dence index rose in May to the second-
highest level since January 2008, just
after the start of the Great Recession.
Everyones been continuing to
look for signs about whether the econ-
omy is picking up some speed, said
Kate Warne, an investment strategist
at Edward Jones. The report on manu-
factured goods is one more piece of
evidence suggesting that it really was
weather and not something else slow-
ing growth in the winter time.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 11.38 points, or 0.6 percent, to
1, 911. 91. The stock market was
closed Monday for Memorial Day.
The Dow Jones industrial average
gained 69.23 points, or 0.4 percent,
to 16,675.50. The Nasdaq composite
climbed 51.26 points, or 1.2 percent,
to 4,237.07.
Stocks rose from the opening bell
following the durable goods report.
Nine of the ten sectors that make up
the S&P 500 rose, led by nancial and
industrial companies.
Small-company stocks also made
big gains, suggesting that investors
were more comfortable making riskier
investments. The Russell 2000 rose
1.3 percent, its biggest gain in two
weeks.
Hillshire Brands, the maker of
Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage and
other products, was among the biggest
gainers Tuesday. The stock jumped
$8.17, or 22.1 percent, to $45.19
after poultry producer Pilgrims Pride
offered to acquire the company in a deal
worth about $5.6 billion. Pilgrims
Pride said the deal is better than
Hillshires plan, announced earlier
this month, to buy Pinnacle Foods for
$4.23 billion. Pinnacles stock fell
$1.79, or 5.4 percent, to $31.48.
Despite the positive economic
news, bond prices rose. Typically,
bond prices fall and their yields rise
when economic data improves as
traders anticipate that interest rates
will rise in the future.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury
note fell to 2.51 percent from 2.53
percent on Friday. The yield on the
note is trading close to its lowest in
ten months. It started the year at 3 per-
cent.
The recent surge in bonds is one of
the reasons behind the uptick in
stocks, said Jeff Knight, head of glob-
al asset allocation at Columbia
Management, an asset management
company. Although stocks are no
longer cheap on an absolute level after
the S&P 500 surged almost 30 percent
last year, they still look good value
compared to bonds.
Stocks are still very attractive rela-
tive to bonds, and I think thats the
key trade-off, said Knight.
While the stock market has made
modest gains this year, bonds have
surged, contrary to the expectations of
many analysts, who had forecast that
bond prices would drop as the econo-
my strengthened.
Stocks climb; Fourth straight gain for S&P

Median CEO pay crosses $10 million in 2013
By John Flesher
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. The U.S.
Department of Agriculture is teaming
with businesses, nonprots and others
on a ve-year, $2.4 billion program that
will fund locally designed soil and water
conservation projects nationwide,
Secretary Tom Vilsack said Tuesday.
Authorized by the new farm law
enacted earlier this year, the Regional
Conservation Partnership Program is
intended to involve the private sector
more directly in planning and funding
environmental protection initiatives
tied to agriculture.
Its a new approach to conservation
that is really going to encourage peo-
ple to think in very innovative and
creative ways, Vilsack said.
He described the projects to be fund-
ed as clean water startup operations
that will benefit communities and
watersheds, a departure from the
departments more traditional
approach of focusing on individual
operators adopting practices such as
no-till cultivation or planting buffer
strips to prevent runoff into streams.
Universities, local and tribal gov-
ernments, companies and sporting
groups are among those eligible to
devise plans and seek grants.
By establishing new public-private
partnerships, we can have an impact
thats well beyond what the federal
government could accomplish on its
own, Vilsack said. These efforts
keep our land resilient and water clean,
and promote tremendous economic
growth in agriculture, construction,
tourism and outdoor recreation and
other industries.
In addition to protecting the envi-
ronment, the projects will bolster the
rural economy by supporting tourism
and outdoor recreation jobs while
avoiding pollution that would cost
more to clean up, he said.
USDA will spend $1.2 billion
including $400 million the rst year
and raise an equal amount from par-
ticipants.

FORT WORTH, Texas Rumbling
down the runway at New Yorks JFK
airport, American Airlines pilot Bill
Elder points the nose of the Boeing
787 skyward and takes off for Denver.
Elder roars over the Atlantic, then
banks sharply to the left, back over
Queens and then Manhattan. But he is
ying too low and triggers a ground-
proximity warning as the Empire State
Building appears off to the left.
Not to worry. The scene is unfolding
in a flight simulator at Americans
training center in Texas. Elder,
Americans eet training manager, is
demonstrating the warning systems
that mimic those in an airliner.
American will take delivery of its
first 787, which Boeing calls the
Dreamliner, in November. Passenger
ights begin ights early next year. In
the next few months, dozens of
American pilots will sit in the same
simulator and learn the nuances of the
controls before they can y the real
plane.
The 787 could be Americans most
important new plane since the Boeing
777 in 1999. With its improved fuel
efficiency and long range, the 787
could boost the airlines prot by mak-
ing many international routes more
economical.

UC Davis announces former Citigroup
CEO Sandy Weill as commencement speaker
DAVIS Sandy Weill, chairman emeritus and former
chairman and CEO of Citigroup, will deliver the com-
mencement address for the 2014 gradu-
ating class of the University of
California, Davis, Graduate School of
Management on Saturday, June 14.
This years graduating class of 212
is the largest in the management
schools history. There are 173 mas-
ters of business administration candi-
dates and 39 masters of professional
accountancy candidates.
Weill will be speaking to the candi-
dates, faculty, guests and administrators at the Robert and
Margrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts on the
UC Davis campus at 10 a.m.
Sandys experience and leadership in the financial
services industry and his generosity as a philanthropist
are legendary. Were honored that he will be sharing his
insights with our graduating class as they embark in the
next step of their journey, said Steven C. Currall, dean
of the management school.
During a visit to management school in February
2013, Weill spoke as part of the Deans Distinguished
Speaker Series and met with faculty and students.
Weill was named in April 2014 to CNBCs First 25:
Top Rebels, Icons and Leaders, a definitive list of 25
people who have had the greatest influence, sparked the

Business brief
By Ken Sweet
NEWYORK Theyre the $10 million
men and women.
Propelled by a soaring stock market, the
median pay package for a CEO rose above
eight figures for the first time last year.
The head of a typical large public company
earned a record $10.5 million, an increase
of 8.8 percent from $9.6 million in 2012,
according to an Associated Press/Equilar
pay study.
Last year was the fourth straight that
CEO compensation rose following a
decline during the Great Recession. The
median CEO pay package climbed more
than 50 percent over that stretch. Achief
executive now makes about 257 times the
average workers salary, up sharply from
181 times in 2009.
The best paid CEO last year led an oil-
field-services company. The highest paid
female CEO was Carol Meyrowitz of dis-
count retail giant TJX, owner of TJ Maxx
and Marshalls. And the head of Monster
Beverage got a monster of a raise.
Over the last several years, companies
boards of directors have tweaked executive
compensation to answer critics calls for
CEO pay to be more attuned to perform-
ance. Theyve cut back on stock options
and cash bonuses, which were criticized for
rewarding executives even when a compa-
ny did poorly. Boards of directors have
placed more emphasis on paying CEOs in
stock instead of cash and stock options.
The change became a boon for CEOs last
year because of a surge in stocks that drove
the Standard & Poors 500 index up 30 per-
cent. The stock component of pay pack-
ages rose 17 percent to $4.5 million.
Companies have been happy with their
CEOs performance and the stock market
has provided a big boost, says Gary
Hewitt, director of research at GMI
Ratings, a corporate governance research
firm. But we are still dealing with a situa-
tion where CEO compensation has spun
out of control and CEOs are being paid
extraordinary levels for their work.
The highest paid CEO was Anthony
Petrello of oilfield-services company
Nabors Industries, who made $68.3 mil-
lion in 2013. Petrellos pay ballooned as a
result of a $60 million lump sum that the
company paid him to buy out his old con-
tract.
Nabors Industries did not respond to
calls from the Associated Press seeking
comment.
Petrello was one of a handful of chief
executives who received a one-time boost
in pay because boards of directors decided
to re-negotiate CEO contracts under pres-
sure from shareholders. Freeport-
McMoRan Copper & Gold CEO Richard
Adkerson also received a one-time pay-
ment of $36.7 million to renegotiate his
contract. His total pay, $55.3 million,
made him the third-highest paid CEO last
year.

In 2013, the Half Moon Bay softball team
was making just its second appearance in
ve years in the Central Coast Section and,
behind the pitching of Lyndsay Klimenko,
the Cougars advanced all the way to the
Division III title game, falling to Notre
Dame-Salinas.
With Klimenko having moved on to Cal
State Bakerseld, the biggest question fac-
ing Half Moon Bay this season was who
would take over in the pitchers circle.
The rest of the lineup appeared set.
Despite having just two seniors and four
juniors, the Cougars brought back four
sophomores who saw signicant playing
time as freshmen, along with four more
freshmen.
Anyone who follows softball knows,
however, a team will only go as far as its
pitching will take them.
So who did coach Deanna Rocha Towers
tab to take over for the all-league
Klimenko? A freshman, naturally. Ally
Sarabia may be in her rst year at the high
school level, but has looked anything but
this season. Sarabia pitched 163 of 180
innings for the Cougars this season, com-
piling a record of 20-6 in 27 appearances,
with a 2.06 ERA, helping the Cougars to a
20-7 record overall and a 10-4 mark in the
Peninsula Athletic Leagues Bay Division
and an automatic bid to CCS, where they
received the No. 4 seed in the Division III
tournament.
Sarabia was lights-out in her CCS debut
against Castilleja May 21, holding the
Gators to just two runs on two hits in a 12-
2 Half Moon Bay win. In the quarternals
against Notre Dame-Belmont Saturday, the
Tigers squared her up a little more, pounding
out 11 hits, but Sarabia held them to just
three runs in an 8-3 Half Moon Bay victory.
Sarabia has been just as impactful in the
Cougars batting order. Shes batted .356 on
the season and is third on the team in RBIs
with 20.

Menlo manager Craig Schoof watches Branham celebrate a 3-1 win over the Knights in the
CCS Division II seminals. It was the nal game for Schoof, who is stepping down after 27
years running the program.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The fairytale ending was not to be for
Craig Schoofs nal season at the helm of
the Menlo Knights.
After reaching the nal four with a pair of
upsets last week in defeating Capuchino and
Santa Cruz, No. 12-seeded Menlo nally suc-
cumbed with a 3-1 loss to No. 8 Branham in
the Central Coast Section Division II semi-
nals Tuesday at San Jose Municipal Stadium.
Schoof was visibly emotional after a long
postgame powwow with his squad, as it will
be his last after 27 years as manager of the
Knights. After posting a career record in
CCS play of 31-19 including ve champi-
onship titles in 1988, 89, 2004, 10 and
11 Schoof was hoping to conclude his
legacy with two more wins. It was not to be,
however.
Ive never been prouder of a team,
Schoof said. When you consider what weve
lost over the last couple years as far as talent
and everything and to get back to
[Municipal Stadium]. We talked about it. It
was the drive for ve to get back to Muni for
the fth straight championship game and we
fell two runs short.
Menlo (19-13) seemed poised to go on the
offensive in the rst inning, jumping out to
a quick 1-0 lead. But Branham (19-14)
answered back with a three-run rally in the
bottom of the rst to cap the days scoring.
Bruins starting pitcher Alex Zarate took it
from there. The big left-hander, who evokes
memories of Fernando Valenzuela, retired 13
of 14 Menlo batters between the rst and the
fth innings. The senior ultimately went the
distance to earn the win, while allowing just
one Menlo base runner to reach scoring
position after the rst inning.
Hes a good pitcher, Schoof said. He
kept the ball down. He kept the ball away.
Not overpowering but when he wanted to
he could hump up and throw the ball by us.
Menlo right-hander Wyatt Driscoll over-
came a topsy-turvy rst inning to tab his
fourth consecutive complete game. The sen-
ior locked up with Zarate to seize a game

Patrice Wolfson is ready to give up her title
as the co-owner of the last Triple Crown win-
ner.
She will get the chance if California
Chrome is successful in his bid to join
Afrmed and 10 other horses atop racings
pinnacle.
No horse since Afrmed in 1978 has swept
the Kentucky Derby,
Preakness and Belmont
Stakes. Since then, 11
have won the rst two legs
only to fail in the 11/2-
mile Belmont, the longest
and most grueling of the
three races that are run
over a ve-week span.
Wolfson and other con-
nections of Triple Crown
winners believe this may be the year they get
to induct another member into their exclusive
club.
You just like to see a great horse win it and
I think hes got the potential to be a great
horse, so well be cheering for him, Wolfson
said Tuesday by phone from New York.
Wolfson, who owned Afrmed with her late
husband Louis, will be at Belmont Park on
June 7. Shell be joined by others with ties to
Triple Crown winners, including 92-year-old
Penny Chenery, who owned 1973 champion
Secretariat.
If this horse can win the Triple Crown, I
want to be there, Chenery said from her
home in Boulder, Colo.
The jockeys who rode the last three Triple
Crown winners will be at Belmont, too: Steve
Cauthen (Afrmed), Jean Cruget (Seattle
Slew) and Ron Turcotte (Secretariat).

ALAMEDA DJ Haydens rookie season
in the NFL never really got off the ground.
After being limited the entire offseason
and much of training camp by heart surgery,
Hayden had a rough rookie year at corner-
back for the Oakland Raiders before being
shut down halfway through the season
because of a sports hernia
injury.
Now after an entire off-
season to rebuild the
strength he lost from the
near-fatal heart injury in
November 2012, Hayden
wants to show the Raiders
that he can be the player
they envisioned when
they drafted him 12th
overall in the 2013 draft.
Hes light years ahead of where he was at
this point last year, coach Dennis Allen
said Tuesday. Not just from a physical
standpoint, but really from a mental stand-
point, too. I think he realizes now that
everythings going to be ne, hes going to
be OK, and now he can really focus on get-
ting better as a football player. I like what
Ive seen out of DJ so far.
The Raiders didnt get to see much from
Hayden last season after using a rst-round
pick on him despite a near-fatal practice
injury while in college at Houston.
After participating in rookie minicamp,
Hayden got hurt again during the rst full-
team practice of the offseason and had to
undergo surgery to repair an abdominal scar
related to the original surgery.
Hayden didnt get cleared for contact until
midway through training camp and never
truly caught up.
Here are all my teammates out there
working and Im hooked up to IVs, Hayden
said. It might mess up anyones head a lit-
tle bit. But Im way over that now and Im
just ready for this next season to start.
He played about two-thirds of Oaklands
defensive snaps as the nickel cornerback

LOS ANGELES Lawyers in the trial of a
lawsuit over the beating of a San Francisco
Giants fan at Dodger Stadium confronted
prospective jurors Tuesday with different
stories of what happened at the April 2011
opening-day game between the rival teams.
In brief statements outlining their posi-
tions, Bryan Stows lawyer said he never
touched anyone and was attacked from
behind by his assailants because he was
wearing a Giants shirt. Attorney Tom Girardi
said the Dodgers failed to provide adequate
security at the stadium.
But a lawyer for the team and its former
owner, Frank McCourt, said the Dodgers and
the Los Angeles Police Department provid-
ed the single largest security force for a
Dodgers game in history.
Witnesses at a preliminary hearing in
criminal court told of seeing no security
guards in the parking lot where Stow was
attacked and bystanders called 911 for help.
Defense attorney Dana Fox blamed Louie
Sanchez and Marvin Norwood, who pleaded
guilty to the attack in criminal court, for
causing Stows injuries. But he also said
evidence would show Stow was drunk, and
the ght started over something he said.
Blood evidence would show that Stows
blood-alcohol level was two times higher
than the level for drunk driving, he said.
Stow, who suffered devastating injuries,
watched from a specially equipped wheel-
chair as prospective jurors were instructed
to ll out questionnaires. Family members
accompanied him to court.
The paramedic from Santa Cruz,
California, suffered disabling brain damage
in the beating.
Superior Court Judge Victor Chavez
allowed lawyers to deliver brief statements
to give jurors an overview of their cases. An
attorney also read them a long list of names
of potential witnesses, including McCourt
and his wife, Jamie.
Jury selection is expected to consume the
balance of the week.
The civil liability and negligence lawsuit
seeks millions of dollars in damages from
the Los Angeles Dodgers and former owner
McCourt.
Lawyers have estimated that Stows life-
time care could cost $50 million.

SAN FRANCISCO Tim Hudson turned
in another vintage performance to start this
season, tossing seven scoreless innings to
lead the San Francisco Giants past the
Chicago Cubs 4-0 on Tuesday night.
Hudson (5-2) allowed six hits, struck out
ve and walked none. The 38-year-old has
allowed two earned runs or fewer in nine of
his 10 starts, and he has pitched at least
seven innings eight times.
Buster Posey drove in two runs, and
Michael Morse and Pablo Sandoval singled
home a run each to help the Giants (33-19)
hold on to the best record in the majors.
Jeremy Affeldt pitched a perfect eighth and
Jean Machi pitched a perfect ninth to close
out the Cubs, who will try again to win their
rst road series since last September in
Wednesdays nale.
Jake Arrieta (1-1) gave up four runs and
seven hits in six innings. He struck out six
and walked one but got no support with
Hudson on the mound.
San Franciscos most reliable starter also
might be its most unlikely.
In a rotation that includes All-Stars Matt
Cain and Madison Bumgarner and two-time
NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum,
Hudson has come back from a broken right
ankle that cut his season short in Atlanta
last year and emerged as one of baseballs
best offseason additions.
Hudson, who will turn 39 in July, signed a
$23 million, two-year contract with the
Giants in November. He has a 1.92 ERA.
San Francisco is 5-0 in Hudsons home
starts and 7-2 overall. That includes a rain-
suspended game in his last start at Colorado,
when he allowed one run in three innings.
The three-time All-Star showed no signs
of rust when he returned to the mound at
pitcher-friendly AT&T Park, retiring the rst
eight batters until Arrieta grounded a single
up the middle. He allowed two baseunners in
the third and a one-out double to Mike Olt in
the fth but quickly induced two outs each
time.
Hudson left to a standing ovation from the
announced sellout crowd of 41,060 after get-
ting pinch-hitter Chris Coghlan to ground
out with a runner on rst to end the seventh.
San Francisco supplied all the runs
Hudson needed in the first, when Angel
Pagan singled and scored on Poseys sacri-
ce y and Morse hit an RBI single.

OAKLAND Pinch-runner Rajai Davis
scored on Austin Jacksons elders choice
groundout in the eighth inning and the Detroit
Tigers beat the Oakland Athletics 6-5 Tuesday
night to end a three-game losing streak.
J.D. Martinez drew a one-out walk off
Oakland reliever Fernando Abad (0-2). Davis
was brought in to run and the speedy outeld-
er took second on a passed ball. He then stole
third when As catcher Derek Norris was
throwing the ball back to Abad.
After Luke Gregerson replaced Abad,
Jackson hit a sharp grounder to Oakland
shortstop Jed Lowrie, but the As were unable
to turn the double play and Davis raced home
with the go-ahead run.
Miguel Cabrera and Torii Hunter homered
for the Al Central-leading Tigers. John Jaso
homered for the As .
Al Albuquerque (2-1) pitched one inning for
the win and Joe Nathan worked the ninth for
his 12th save in 15 tries.
The game began as a marquee matchup
between starters Max Scherzer and Sonny
Gray, but both were gone after the sixth.
Scherzer gave up ve runs and eight hits in
six innings. He struck out four, walked two
and balked home a run.
Gray wasnt much better. He pitched with
runners on base in nearly every inning,
allowed four runs for the rst time this season
and struck out ve before leaving with a one-
run lead after the sixth.
Reliever Dan Otero gave up Hunters tying
home run with two outs in the seventh before
the Tigers scored off Abad in the eighth.
John Jaso hit his fth home run of the season,
a two-run shot that gave Oakland a 5-4 lead.
Donaldson has reached base in 42 consecu-
tive games, the longest streak in franchise his-
tory since at least 1914, according to the team.
The game featured three potential All-Stars.
Detroit rst baseman Cabrera and second
baseman Kinsler, along with Oakland third
baseman Donaldson, are all leading at their
respective positions in the rst voting g-
ures released by MLB.
Wednesdays pitching matchup is Scott
Kazmir (5-2) vs. Anibal Sanchez (2-2).

MONTREAL Rene Bourque scored three
goals and the Montreal Canadiens chased
goalie Henrik Lundqvist and defeated the New
York Rangers 7-4 on Tuesday to stave off
elimination in the Eastern Conference nal.
The Rangers, who lead the best-of-seven
series 3-2, will have another chance to earn a
trip to the Stanley Cup nal in Game 6 on
Thursday night in New York.
Alex Galchenyuk, Tomas Plekanec and
Max Pacioretty also scored for Montreal,
which outshot the Rangers 28-27.
Derek Stepan, playing with a guard on his
helmet to protect a broken jaw suffered from
a Brandon Prust hit in Game 3, returned to the
lineup to score twice for the Rangers. Chris
Kreider had a goal and three assists and Rick
Nash also scored.
At 10:41 of the third, Rangers defenseman
John Moore was given a major penalty and
was ejected for a blindside, open ice hit on
Dale Weise that was similar to Prusts hit on
Stepan. Weise was wobbly when he got up
and went for treatment, but returned to the
bench late in the period.
It was a night of strange bounces and spot-
ty goaltending, even if New Yorks best
chance of the game had Carl Hagelins shot
stopped by the end of Dustin Tokarskis stick
midway through the rst period.
Lundqvist was pulled in favor of Cam
Talbot after allowing four goals on 19 shots.
Tokarski stayed in despite allowing four
on his rst 14.
The Rangers did a good job of canceling
the initial rush Montreal gets from its
pregame buildup in winning the opening two
games of the series, but Ginette Renos O
Canada seemed to work this time.
Only 22 seconds into the game, Kreider
was sent off for tripping and the Canadiens
converted when Galchenyuk tipped in P.K.
Subbans point shot from the edge of the
crease at 1:48.
Stepan tied it at 10:44 of the rst on a 30-
foot shot off a rush that fooled Tokarski.
Plekanec restored the lead with a similar goal
at 12:24 as he swiped the puck between two
defenders and had it beat Lundqvist.
The second period had plenty of scoring.
Pacioretty got it started on a nice pass from
Brendan Gallagher at 3:44 and Bourque gave
Montreal a three-goal lead when he spun and
scored from close range. That chased
Lundqvist.
Nash whipped a puck at the Montreal net
and had it go in off defenseman Andrei
Markovs skate 9:48.
Stepan got his second in a mass scramble
in front of Tokarski at 12:06 and Kreider tied
it on a power play at 14:12 on a tic-tac-toe
play after Subban lost his stick.
The Bell Centre went quiet, but got loud
again when Bourque got his second at 15:10
as he beat Talbot from 10 feet.
Several hats were thrown on the ice after
Weise sent Bourque in alone to get his third
of the game 6:33 into the third period.
Desharnais scored into an empty net during a
New York power play at 15:43.
Not es : Canadiens defenseman Alexei
Emelin, who appears to have been playing
on a hurt knee, sat out with an undisclosed
injury. Rookie Nathan Beaulieu played on
the third pairing, while Mike Weaver moved
onto the second pair with Andrei Markov. ...
With eight playoff goals, Bourque is only
one short of his total in 63 regular-season
games. ... Prust served the second of his two-
game suspension and can return for Game 6.
... With Stepan back, J.T. Miller sat for New
York.

OKLAHOMA CITY Russell Westbrook
had 40 points and 10 assists, and the
Oklahoma City Thunder beat the San
Antonio Spurs 105-92 on Tuesday night to
tie the Western Conference nals at two
games apiece.
It matched the second-highest playoff
point total of Westbrooks career, falling
short of the 43 he scored in the 2012 NBA
Finals. He also had ve rebounds and ve
steals.
I think I did all right. Coming out with a
win is most important, Westbrook said in a
postgame interview with TNT. I just try to
come out and give maximum effort. My
teammates ask that of me and thats what I
try to do on both ends of the oor.
Kevin Durant added 31 points on 11-for-
22 shooting. It was his highest-scoring
game of the series after the NBAs leading
scorer was held to a 22.7-point average in
the rst three games. Serge Ibaka added nine
points and eight rebounds for the Thunder,
who have turned around the series since he
returned from an injury that was expected to
keep him out for the rest of the postseason.
Boris Diaw had 14 points and 10
rebounds, and Tony Parker added 14 points
for the Spurs, who blew a 2-0 lead against
the Thunder in this round two years ago and
are in danger of doing it again.
San Antonio will host Game 5 on
Thursday.
Oklahoma City dominated for the second
consecutive game after getting blown out in
the rst two. The Thunder committed just
seven turnovers and shot 49 percent from
the eld.
The Spurs scored the rst eight points of
the game, but things went downhill from
there. A steal and dunk by Westbrook gave
the Thunder a 42-32 lead with just under ve
minutes left in the rst half. Back-to-back 3-
pointers by Durant pushed Oklahoma Citys
lead to 50-36.
The Thunder led 58-43 at halftime. Durant
scored 22 points and Westbrook added 17
points, eight assists and four steals before
the break.
Parker shot 6 of 9 in the rst half, but the
rest of the Spurs made just 11 of 32 before
the break.
Alob from Reggie Jackson to Durant for a
two-handed slam bumped Oklahoma Citys
lead to 60-43. Asteal and jam by Ibaka made
it 66-49, and a dunk by Westbrook made it
76-49.
The Spurs closed the quarter on an 18-7 run
and cut their decit to 83-67. San Antonios
Matt Bonner made a 3-pointer with 3:31
remaining to trim Oklahoma Citys edge to
12, but the Thunder maintained control.
Notes: Jackson started for the second
straight game. He sprained his right ankle
on a drive to the hoop and left the game with
8:25 left in the rst quarter. He returned to
start the second quarter. ... Spurs coach
Gregg Popovich was called for a technical
foul with 44.7 seconds left in the rst half.
. . . Thunder C Kendrick Perkins had 10
rebounds. ... The Thunder improved to 5-1 in
the playoffs when Westbrook has at least 10
assists. ... Spurs G Manu Ginobili played
just 11 minutes and scored ve points. ...
Thunder G Thabo Sefolosha did not play for
the second consecutive game. He started the
rst two games of the series.

SPORTS 14
teammates will face their toughest test of the
season when they face top-seeded Santa
Catalina in the seminals at 7 p.m. Wednesday
at PALStadium in San Jose.
This is the fourth straight season Santa
Catalina has been the No. 1 seed in Division III.
Santa Catalina also nicknamed the Cougars
captured the 2012 title, but fell in the semi-
nals last year to Notre Dame-Salinas which
crushed Half Moon Bay in the 2013 nal, 14-1.
Santa Catalina was one of only three teams in
the seven-team Mission Trail Athletic League to
nish with a winning overall record in 2014,
which currently stands at 18-4-1 following
Saturdays 8-3 win over No. 8 Carmel. It was a
win that ran their unbeaten streak to 13 in a row.
The only blemish on Santa Catalinas record
over the last two months is a 3-3 tie with
Gregori-Modesto April 26.
If nothing else, Santa Catalina can swing it.
As a team, Santa Catalina is batting .367. Apair
of sophomores, Marissa Bruno and Tatumn
Satow, are batting .512 and .500, respectively.
But its a couple of seniors who drive the
offense. Chase Lee Hong has 30 RBIs on the
season, while Rene Kausin has driven in 26.
Satow has 23 RBIs on the season.
Santa Catalina is not too shabby in the pitch-
ers circle either, with a team ERAof 2.30. Its
two main pitchers, however, allow less than
two runs per outing. Sophomore Lauren Garcia
has been the teams workhorse, throwing 110
innings this year, compiling a 14-4 record in 21
appearances this season, posting an ERA of
1.97. Satow went 4-0 in nine appearances.
Division II
No.3 Hillsdale (21-7) vs.
No. 2 Pioneer (23-4), 4:30 p.m. Wednesday
at PAL Stadium
The Knights got off to a bit of slow start
against Presentation in their quarternal game
Saturday, mustering two hits through the rst
three innings.
Over the nal three, however, they teed off on
Presentation pitching, rapping out eight hits
and scoring eight runs to post an 11-2 victory.
Everyone in the starting lineup had at least
one hit for Hillsdale, with Riley Wells and Eryn
McCoy each having a pair. Seven of the nine
starters drove in a run, led by Sharona Mataele
and McCoy, who each drove in two. Seven of
the nine starters also scored a run, with Megan
Wells, Riley Wells, Lauren Quirke and McCoy
all scoring twice.
Pioneer had just as easy a time in dispatching
No. 10 Westmont 10-3 in its quarternal game.
The Mustangs have a team batting average of
.322 this season, with a staff ERAof 1.09.
Freshman pitcher Holly Azevedo has been
virtually unhittable this season in posting a 22-
4 record with a 0.75 ERA. In 130 innings,
Azevedo has allowed only 58 hits and 14 earned
runs, while striking out 181 and walking just
27.

NEW YORK Los Angeles Clippers
owner Donald Sterling responded to the
NBAs attempt to oust him on Tuesday, argu-
ing that there is no basis for stripping him
of his team because his racist statements
were illegally recorded during an inamed
lovers quarrel in which he was clearly dis-
traught.
According to the response, a copy of
which was obtained by The Associated Press,
Sterling says V. Stiviano
recorded him without his
knowledge and thus the
recording was illegal
under California law. He
also said he could not
have willfully damaged
the league because he did
not know it would be
made public.
A jealous rant to a
lover never intended to be
published cannot offend the NBA rules,
Sterling said in the document, which was
rst reported by USAToday.
Meanwhile, the attorney for Shelly
Sterling conrmed that Donald Sterling has
given her written permission to sell the
team. According to a person who is in con-
tact with a potential bidder, who spoke to
the AP on the condition of anonymity
because he was not authorized to discuss the
process publicly, the Clippers are seeking
binding bids before next Tuesday the day
NBA owners are scheduled to meet in New
York and vote on whether to strip Sterling of
the team.
The league said in a statement Tuesday that
if three-quarters of the 30 owners voted to
sustain the charge, the Sterlings interests
in the Clippers will be terminated and the
team will be sold.
The NBA charged Donald Sterling with
damaging the league and its merchandising
partners, and the leagues constitution gave
him until the end of Tuesday to respond.
According to a basketball ofcial familiar
with the proceedings, speaking on condi-
tion of anonymity because he was not
authorized to discuss Sterling, the NBA has
scheduled a call of its executive committee
for 3 p.m. EDT on Wednesday.
Shelly Sterling submitted her own sepa-
rate response to the NBAs charges Tuesday
that included a vigorous response to the
attempt by the NBA to blame her for doing
nothing wrong, according to a person with
knowledge of the proceedings. The individ-
ual wasnt authorized to speak publicly about
the response.
In his response, Donald Sterling says that
next weeks hearing cannot be fair because
the owners have already made up their minds,
quoting 10 teams who commented on Twitter
or elsewhere that they supported the seizure
of the team. An AP survey on the day
Commissioner Adam Silver announced
Sterlings lifetime ban found that half of the
teams supported it and no owner was against
it.
These procedings will be a spectacle
meant to mollify the popular opinion, not a
fair and impartial hearing: the outcome of
these procedings became a foregone conclu-
sion weeks ago, the response states.
The response also notes the disparity
between his lifetime ban and $2.5 million
ne and previous NBApunishments, includ-
ing the $100,000 ne levied on Kobe Bryant
when he was caught referring to a referee by
a homosexual slur, and the 72-game suspen-
sion of Ron Artest for punching a fan.

LAS VEGAS The 45th Annual World
Series of Poker kicked off seven weeks of
play in Las Vegas on Tuesday, promising
the tournament champion at least $10 mil-
lion and enticing tens of thousands of play-
ers with a prize pool estimated at $200 mil-
lion.
The 65-event series at the Rio resort
begins with a $500 casino employees
game, a sort of warm-up for organizers, and
will culminate July 5 with the start of the
No-Limit Holdem Main Event. That event
narrows the playing eld to nine people
over the course of 10 days before nalists
break for several months and reunite in
November for the nals.
An estimated 80,000 players will enter
the tournament, and organizers expect
theyll cross the $200 million prize give-
away threshold for only the second time in
their history. Last year, the World Series of
Poker gave out $197 million in prize
money.
This years tournament includes a $1 mil-
lion charity buy-in game held every other
year. Capped at 56 players, the June 29
event typically attracts poker professionals
and amateurs used to making high-stakes
bets.
About 10 percent of the proceeds will
benet The One Drop Foundation, a non-
prot created by Cirque du Soleil founder
Guy Laliberte and dedicated to providing
clean water to developing countries.
Other niche contests include a senior
event for players age 50 and up, and a
women-only game.
Conceived as an event to attract tourists
to Las Vegas as the weather heats up and
convention activity slows down, the series
draws players from more than 100 different
countries and has a ripple effect on hotel,
restaurant and entertainment business in the
city.
Some 30 percent of participants hail from
Nevada and California, and 74 percent are
from the United States. The rest come from
abroad, with large pockets from Canada,
Australia and Europe.
Ninety-four percent of participants are
male, and the average player age is 38.
Its a very mentally tiring game, which
is why you see this kind of younger age
demographic, said series spokesman Seth
Palansky.
The tournament has been boosted by the
expansion of online poker, which gives
players a less-intimidating space in which
to learn and practice their game. Online
play also moves faster than the in-person
game, giving players more experience more
quickly.
Its totally built the numbers that we
have, Palansky said.
At any given time in the next seven
weeks, 5,000 players might be sitting at
the tournaments poker tables at the Rio.
Events which have buy-in levels as low
as $500 average about 1,300 players
each.
Winners of each event take home the sig-
nature WSOP gold bracelet. Last years top
poker player, Michigan native Ryan Riess,
outlasted 6,351 players to win his title and
$8.4 million at the age of 23.
Players to watch this year include Canada
native Daniel Negreanu, the reigning WSOP

World Series of Poker kicks off in Las Vegas
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Second-half substi-
tutes Mix Diskerud and Aron Johannsson
scored to lift a heavy legged United States
over Azerbaijan 2-0 on Tuesday night in the
rst of three World Cup warmups for the
Americans.
On a night when captain Clint Dempsey
was scratched just before kickoff because of a
sore left groin, the 14th-ranked Americans
had trouble breaking down No. 85
Azerbaijan.
Diskerud, a Norweigen-American midelder
entered in the 71st and scored four minutes
later off Brad Davis free kick.
With the ball high in the box, Diskerud
headed it down to Michael Bradley, whose
shot was cleared off the goal line by Elvin
Yunuszade. Diskerud then banged the ball in
from 6 yards for his third international goal.
He was wearing the No. 10 jersey that freed
up when Landon Donovan was cut from the
roster last week,
For me, its just a number, Diskerud said.
I feel like Im just borrowing it. Well play
together someday, and hell get it back.
Johannsson, a Icelandic-American, entered
in the 62nd and scored his second American
goal in the 81st with an open header from the
top of 6-yard box off a corner kick by Davis,
who replaced Graham Zusi at the start of the
second half.
Tim Howard, making his 98th internation-
al appearance, got his 53rd win to tie Kasey
Kellers U.S. record. The Americans began
their intense two-week training camp May 14
at nearby Stanford University, and there
appeared to be tired legs.
I think we can be very happy with this
game, Johannsson said. Weve been work-
ing ridiculously hard in training.
Next up is a match Sunday against Turkey at
Harrison, New Jersey, followed by a game
with Nigeria six days later in Jacksonville,
Florida. Then the Americans head to Brazil for
their seventh straight World Cup appearance
and rst-round matches against Ghana,
Portugal and Germany.
It was exactly what we need at this point of
our preparation after two fully loaded weeks,
U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. It was a
tricky game. You want to open it up with a
goal, and it gets easier. You want to score a bit
earlier.
U.S. gets two in second half, beats Azerbaijan

during the rst eight games with his high-
lights being an interception against San
Diego and a forced fumble in Kansas City.
But he had a disastrous performance
against Philadelphia, allowing two touch-
down catches and another deep pass in his
nal game before sports hernia surgery. For
the season, Hayden allowed 26 catches on
40 throws with him in coverage for 376
yards and three touchdowns. He had an inter-
ception and allowed a 110 passer rating
against.
I feel like not only do I have something
to prove but I feel like we all have some-
thing to prove because of our season last
year, Hayden said. Were way better than
that. I just cant wait to get this season
going.
Hayden said he is mentally sharper this
season because of the condence in his
health and his knowledge of the defense,
which allows him to react more than think
in the eld.
But Allen said Hayden is still like a
quasi-rookie because of his limited play-
ing and practice time last season.
Hes not necessarily starting on ground
zero like most of these rookies are so hes
got a little bit of a head start, but yet he still
has a lot of room to grow, Allen said.
There was a reason why we took him where
we took him last year. We feel great about
the player and were excited to see how he
can develop.
The biggest change this season for
Hayden is he was able to work out more
strenuously this offseason and added some
needed strength.
He said he is about 5 to 10 pounds heavier,
which will allow him to be better at ghting
off blocks, making tackles in the run game
and match up better with physical receivers.
NOTES: The Raiders had almost full par-
ticipation with the only healthy absence
being LB Kevin Burnett, who could lose his
starting job to rst-round pick Khalil Mack.
... DT Antonio Smith did not take part after
undergoing surgery for an injury sustained
in training earlier this offseason. ... OL
Lucas Nix also did not participate because of
an undisclosed injury.
RAIDERS
The 1970s produced three Triple Crown win-
ners, with Secretariat breaking a 25-year
drought. Seattle Slew followed in 1977 and
Afrmed came along the next year, leading
many to believe the Triple Crown was an easy
feat.
Now 36 years have passed since Cauthen,
who was then 18, teamed with Afrmed to hold
off Alydar in three thrilling races, capped by
their victory by a head in the Belmont.
It was one of the greatest races of all time to
watch and to be involved in, he said. Two
great horses continuing a great rivalry, never
giving up. It lived up to the hopes and expecta-
tions of everybody.
At 3-5, Afrmed was the last odds-on favorite
to win the Belmont. California Chrome gures
to be a low price, too, just like in the Preakness,
where he was the overwhelming favorite.
Cauthen has watched California Chrome from
afar and the chestnut colt reminds him of
Afrmed. Cauthen and his horse got along well,
and he sees California Chrome and jockey
Victor Espinoza doing the same.
Hes got a lot of options with him. The horse
seems to settle wherever he wants him and can
pick up in an instant, said Cauthen, who runs a
breeding operation in Verona, Ky. This horse
has got a great chance of pulling it off.
Billy Turner carries a title of his own: the last
living trainer of a Triple Crown winner. Hes
gotten a close-up view of California Chrome,
who has been training at Belmont Park where
Turners stable is based.
Hes such a nice horse, he said. He goes out
there, jogs off, gallops around, does whatever
they like him to do, sort of notices the crowd
and just seems to really enjoy what hes doing.
Turner had his hands full with Seattle Slew,
describing the colt as an absolute monster.
All he wanted to do was train. He wasnt
lovey-dovey, Turner said. Once you trained
him, hed settle right down. My biggest con-
cern with him was trying to gure out how to get
him settled down enough to go a mile and a half
in the Belmont.
Thats a distance no 3-year-old has ever run
before and few will be asked to go that far again
in their careers. California Chrome has proven
adaptable in the 1 1/4-mile Derby and 1 3/16-
mile Preakness, where he got good trips and
wasnt bothered by the noise of large crowds.
Hes proven already that hes the dominant
horse in the 3-year-old ranks today, Turner
said. He would be unlucky not to win the
Belmont.
Unlike some of the more regal bloodlines that
produced the 11 Triple Crown winners,
California Chrome comes from a modest pedi-
gree as the product of a $2,500 sire. Top pedi-
gree stallions typically cost between $75,000
and $100,000.
But he does have some Triple Crown connec-
tions. His fathers side of the family traces back
to both Seattle Slew and Secretariat.
That makes it exciting for me, said Jim Hill,
who co-owned Seattle Slew.
RACING
seemingly destined to be a slugfest and grind
it into a pitching duel. After he was touched
for three hits in the rst, Driscoll allowed
just two more the rest of the way.
Driscoll is quite the story, as the senior
entered into the season with just 5 1/3
innings pitched on his varsity resume. He
didnt play as a sophomore because of a leg
injury he endured while playing football
which required a battery of surgeries to
repair.
To watch a kid like Wyatt Driscoll
thats what its about, Schoof said. Heres
a kid who thought he might not walk, he
might not ever have a chance to do anything
athletically again. He struggled in the
rst inning. After that, he was nails. They
didnt come close to scoring after that.
Menlo got on the board in the rst. Mikey
Diekroeger shot the rst pitch of the game
into left-center for a single. However, before
Zarate threw another pitch, he picked off
Diekroeger. But Graham Stratford kept the
pressure on with a single to center. Stratford
was retired on the base paths with Jared
Lucian reaching on a elders choice, after
which Lucian stole second. Then cleanup
hitter Carson Gampell singled to right to
score Lucian, giving the Knights a 1-0 lead.
But Branham took advantage of an early
bout of wildness by Driscoll. Michael Walls
and Mitch Anders drew back-to-back walks
to start the frame. Noah Antonello followed
with an RBI single through the middle to
score Walls, with Anders moving to third.
Zarate produced a sacrice y to right to
score Anders. Then Cameron Caldwell shot a
two-out RBI single to left to plate
Antonello, giving the Bruins a 3-1 lead.
The damage could have been much worse
for Menlo, as Branhams Arman Sabouri fol-
lowed with a booming shot over the head of
Antonio Lopez in left eld, but Lopez got
the ball back to the ineld in a hurry to catch
Caldwell in a rundown between second and
third for the second out of the inning. Chris
Kiefer promptly made the third out with a
line shot to Diekroeger at short.
Menlo had its best opportunity to add runs
in the sixth, but did not score after having
runners at the corners with no outs.
Diekroeger led off the inning with a sharp
grounder that went through the wickets of
Branham first baseman Kiefer, allowing
Diekroeger to reach second. Stratford fol-
lowed with a bunt single to move Diekroeger
to third. But after Lucian switched places
with Stratford at rst base on a elders
choice, Gampell hit into a tailor-made dou-
ble play to end the inning, stranding
Diekroeger at third.
Stratford recorded three of Menlos ve
hits in the game, going 3 for 3 to match his
career-high. The senior team captain has
tabbed three hits in game three times previ-
ous, twice last season against each Hillsdale
and Crystal Springs Uplands and once this
year against Olympian.
If we erase that rst inning and play the
way we wanted to, I think we could have won
that game, Stratford said. Its too bad the
game went the way it did. Id rather not play
as well to have our team win and to keep
playing baseball. Its been a great season
weve had this year and I just wanted it to
keep going. Ive had so much fun.
In addition to it being Schoofs last game
managing the Knights, the loss also marks
the end of the Diekroeger era at Menlo. With
the overlapping varsity careers of the three
brothers Kenny, Danny and Mikey
there has been a Diekroeger at Menlo dating
back to 2007.
Yet the game was the last of an emotional
tribute season to Schoof, who will be missed
greatly, according to Menlo assistant coach
Tink Reynoso.
[The players have] been behind him 110
percent, Reynoso said. They really wanted
this game for him. Each one of them patted
him on the back, as all the coaches did, send-
ing him off the best we could as of right now.
The kids are really going to miss him badly.
This is really his program. And whoever
comes in has really got some big shoes to
ll.

NBA PLAYOFF GLANCE
NHL PLAYOFF GLANCE
By Howard Fendrich
PARIS Much to her dismay, Li
Na is familiar with this feeling.
She earns a Grand Slam champi-
onship, is heralded at home, then
shows up at subsequent major tour-
naments and seemingly forgets how
to win.
Happened in 2011, after her
French Open triumph made her
Chinas rst player with a Grand
Slam singles title. Happened again
Tuesday, when Li was seeded second
at Roland Garros but lost to some-
one ranked 103rd in the rst round,
not quite four months removed from
winning the Australian Open.
I didnt follow the game plan, Li
said. Didnt have any idea how to
play.
Her 7-5, 3-6, 6-1 exit against
Kristina Mladenovic of France in
front a partisan crowd on a cloudy,
windy Day 3 came about 16 hours
after the mens Australian Open
champion, third-seeded Stan
Wawrinka, was beaten in Paris
making this French Open already
unlike any Grand Slam tournament
in history.
Its the rst time that the mens
and womens singles champions
from the previous major lost in the
rst round.
Nobody say if you (are) No. 2 in
the world, you have to win all the
matches. I mean, this is tennis,
said Li, who works with Carlos
Rodriguez, former coach of four-
time French Open titlist Justine
Henin.
For an opening match at a major,
the tension is different, she added.
Always tough to pass the rst
round.
Top players, even the likes of
Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams,
frequently talk about being particu-
larly jittery at the start of a Grand
Slam tournament, even against
clearly outclassed competition.
They notice, to be sure, when
folks such as Li or Wawrinka depart
quickly.
Regardless of whats happened to
the other players, said reigning
Wimbledon champion Andy Murray,
who won in four sets Tuesday, I still
hoped that I would try or be able to
nd ways through my rst match and
negotiate my way through a tricky
opponent in these conditions.
This French Open has seen some
rough going for several past major
champions and other highly seeded
players, and the second round has
yet to begin.
No. 13 Caroline Wozniacki, the
2009 U.S. Open runner-up, was
beaten Tuesday, less than a week
after her planned wedding to golf
star Rory McIlroy was called off;
No. 11 Grigor Dimitrov, considered
an up-and-coming threat by many,
lost to Ivo Karlovic; two seeded
men, No. 16 Tommy Haas and No.
21 Nicolas Almagro, quit during the
rst set because of injuries; past
Grand Slam titles winner Lleyton
Hewitt also lost.
One person pleasantly surprised
to nally feel what its like to win in
the rst round is 66th-ranked
Marinko Matosevic of Australia,
who was 0-12 at Grand Slam tourna-
ments before beating Dustin Brown
of Germany 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-7 (1), 7-
5.

stand is closing the rink. I dont under-
stand what the applicant thought they
could achieve by doing that.
SPI representatives have said creating
more retail space at Bridgepointe will
allow it to remain viable and competitive
against the nearby Hillsdale and Stanford
shopping centers.
C.J. Higley, an attorney representing
SPI in its application, said an unsuccessful
retail center is also bad for the community
and SPI is trying to avoid going out of
business, as did the former Fashion Island
Shopping Center.
SPI contributes about $2 million in
sales tax revenue to the city annually and
it estimates redeveloping the rink would
generate an additional $300,000 a year,
Higley said.
The commission requested thorough data
on how SPI came up with its projections
and a group called Save the Rink urged the
commission to ponder larger economic
impacts. The group questioned if adding
new stores at Bridgepointe would canni-
balize other businesses within the city or
if the loss of the rink would affect proper-
ty values.
Commissioners Rick Bonilla and Josh
Hugg didnt think circumstances had
changed since the shopping centers
owner tried to remove the rink in 1997 and
the City Council and public insisted it
stay in 1998.
Commissioner Charlie Drechsler and
Bonilla requested data on how much rev-
enue the city and the mall has lost since
the rink was closed last year. Bonilla added
that every study and question asked during
the adoption of the Master Plan should be
asked again.
Regardless of how long this takes, Id
like to see the rink operational again
because that rink helped that project get
approved, thats it. I dont think anyones
demonstrated financially the lack of
that facility is going to help the mall do
better. Im pretty sure those restaurants
have lost revenue and Im pretty sure those
stores have lost revenue, Drechsler said.
As the public and commissioners
abhorred SPI for closing the rink nearly a
year ago, one of the biggest sticking
points was whether the city has authority
to force the rink to reopen.
Although city officials have repeatedly
stated it wasnt within their purview and
that it could only deny the site being used
for anything else, members of the public
questioned if it couldnt do more to force
SPIs hand.
Attorney Camas Steinmetz, who said she
works as a deputy city attorney for San
Carlos and Foster City and is representing
the Save the Rink group, suggested the
city investigate other ways to reopen the
rink such as creating an ordinance that
would allow the city to fine SPI if it will-
ingly left storefronts empty.
Hugg also wondered if the city couldnt
exert more force and Bonilla stressed it
was implied in the Master Plan that the
rink would remain operational.
Raymon Miolla and Michael Strambi
said if the city cant force SPI to reopen
the rink, theyve started to investigate
opportunities for opening one elsewhere
in the city, but it will likely cost upwards
of $7 million to $9 million.
Commissioner Dianne Whitaker said the
Master Plan specifically calls for the
recreational amenity to remain onsite if
possible.
I dont believe that we should be con-
sidering either a recreation fee paid in lieu
of or finding a new location for an ice
rink, Whitaker said. I feel that the prop-
erty owners and the applicant have been in
violation of the Master Plan since 2012
when the rink was shut down.
Drechsler encouraged Bridgepointe that
the city wants it to be successful, but he
and Hugg questioned as to what cost.
Im willing to listen to what the alter-
natives are. But I really think it was not a
good faith gesture on the part of the appli-
cant to start off by cutting the amenity,
Hugg said. All of these things that make
a healthy community should not be
reduced to what can be made monetarily.
The pre-application to amend the
Bridgepointe Master Plan will be heard by
the City Council during a study session at
a date yet to be determined. For more infor-

Chinese Cuisine
By Mary Clare Jalonick
WASHINGTON First lady Michelle
Obama is striking back at House
Republicans who are trying to weaken
healthier school meal standards, saying any
effort to roll back the guidelines is unac-
ceptable.
The rules set by Congress and the admin-
istration over the last several years require
more fruits, vegetables and whole grains in
the lunch line and set limits on sodium,
sugar and fat. The rst lady met Tuesday
with school nutrition ofcials who said the
guidelines are working in their schools.
The event was an unusual move for the
rst lady, who has largely stayed away from
policy ghts since she lobbied for congres-
sional passage of a child nutrition law in
2010.
The last thing we can afford to do right
now is play politics with our kids health,
Mrs. Obama told participants.
An agriculture spending bill approved by
a House subcommittee last week would
allow schools to waive the standards if they
have a net loss on school food programs for
a six-month period. Rep. Robert Aderholt,
R-Ala., who wrote the bill, said he was
responding to requests from school food
directors who have said the rules are too
restrictive. The School Nutrition
Association, which represents school nutri-
tion directors and companies that sell food
to schools, has lobbied for changes to the
standards and endorsed the House bill.
The House Appropriations Committee is
expected to approve the spending bill this
week.
At the White House event, school nutri-
tion directors from New York City to Los
Angeles to a rural county in Georgia told the
rst lady success stories about implement-
ing the standards and said they would be dis-
appointed to see any roll backs.
Were not just talking about food, were
talking about education, said David Binkle
of the Los Angeles Unied School District.
He said participation is up in his district,
along with test scores and graduation rates,
since they made school foods healthier
there.
The rst lady asked the group for advice
about how they can better respond to
schools that are struggling, and suggested
that the conversation should be focused on
helping those schools rather than rolling
back some of the standards completely. She
said the government and schools can also
do more to work with students to get them
interested in what they are eating.
The president of the School Nutrition
Association said Tuesday that the school
ofcials invited to the White House werent
representative of those who have concerns.
Our request for exibility under the new
standards does not come from industry or
politics, it comes from thousands of school
cafeteria professionals who have shown
how these overly prescriptive regulations
are hindering their effort to get students to
eat healthy school meals, said SNAs Leah
Schmidt.
The schools pushing for changes say lim-
its on sodium and requirements for more
whole grains are particularly challenging,
while some school ofcials say kids are
throwing away fruits and vegetables that are
required.
The Agriculture Department, which
administers the rules, has tweaked them
along the way to try to help schools that
have concerns. The department scrapped
limits on the amount of proteins and grains
that kids could eat after students complained
they were hungry. Last week, USDA
announced it would allow some schools to
delay serving whole grain pastas just hours
after the House subcommittee approved the
opt-out language.
Not all school groups are lobbying for
changes. The national PTAis pushing law-
makers to keep the standards intact.
At a time when families are working hard
to live healthy lives, school meals should
be supporting families efforts, not work-
ing against them, PTA President Otha
Thornton wrote to members of Congress.

Starbucks-owned chain to offer burgers
NEWYORK Starbucks is dipping its toe into the burg-
er business, with plans to open an outpost of its La
Boulange chain that caters to the dinner crowd.
Aspokeswoman for Starbucks, Linda Mills, said the Los
Angeles restaurant is scheduled to open June 12 and will be
open until 10 p.m. It will also serve beer, wine, cocktails
and milkshakes.
Starbucks Corp. had purchased the La Boulange chain of
bakery-cafes in 2012. The cafes are based in San Francisco
Bay Area and primarily focus on breakfast and lunch with
soups, salads and sandwiches, along with baked goods.
Food brief
By Ramit Plushnick-Masti
HOUSTON It seems like a simple
proposition: American lakes, rivers
and offshore waters are filling up with
destructive fish and crustaceans origi-
nally from other parts of the world,
many of them potential sources of
food.
So why not control these invasive
populations by getting people to eat
them?
The idea has gained momentum
recently from the lionfish, which
invaded the Gulf of Mexico but was
successfully marketed to restaurants
and today appears to be in decline.
But businesses and scientists have
struggled to repeat this apparent tri-
umph with other species. Some, such
as Asian carp, are not appetizing to
Americans. Others, like feral hogs,
reproduce too quickly to make a dent.
And then theres the question of
whether turning them into sought-
after cuisine undermines the larger
goal of eliminating them.
Eating invasive species is not a
silver bullet, said Laura Huffman, the
Nature Conservancys director in
Texas. But it can still be a way to get
people engaged in the topic and in the
solution.
The lionfish, a striped saltwater
species with a flowing mane of ven-
omous spines, is native to the Indo-
Pacific Ocean and was first spotted in
parts of the Gulf and off the East Coast
a little more than 10 years ago. The
skilled predators damage reefs and
devour native fish, and they are eaten
only by sharks or larger lionfish.
People soon learned that beneath
the lionfishs spiky skin lies a but-
tery, flaky meat that is perfect for
ceviche, taco filler or as an alterna-
tive to lobster. After a few years of
intense fishing and brisk fillet sales,
the population is dropping.
But similar efforts targeting feral
hogs, Asian carp and the Himalayan
blackberry have been far less success-
ful.
Damage from invasive species
extends beyond the environment. A
Cornell University study concluded
that they caused more than $120 bil-
lion in economic harm annually.
Feral hogs cost Texas alone about $52
million in agricultural damage every
year, according to a study by Texas
A&M University.
Asian carp were introduced to the
United States about 30 years ago.
Now they have infested dozens of
waterways, including the
Mississippi. The Army Corps of
Engineers is weighing several
options to try to keep the voracious
eaters out of the Great Lakes, where
they could threaten other marine life
and the fishing industry.
In China, the carp are a delicacy and
even threatened in the Yangtze River.
But they have attracted little interest
among U.S. consumers, and the few
Americans who make a living on carp
export most of their catch.
Can U.S. eliminate invasive
species by people eating them?
People learned that beneath the lionshs spiky skin lies a buttery, aky meat that
is perfect for ceviche, taco ller or as an alternative to lobster. After a few years of
intense shing and brisk llet sales, the population is dropping.

Hot-sauce controversy
may be cooling down
IRWINDALE The heat may nally be
going out of a confrontation between a
chili-sauce maker and a Los Angeles suburb.
Irwindale Mayor Mark Breceda tells the
Pasadena Star-News that hell ask the City
Council to drop its public-nuisance order
and lawsuit against Huy Fong Foods.
The company makes the popular Sriracha
hot sauce.
The city has been squabbling with the
company for months after residents com-
plained that spicy odors burned their throats
and eyes.
But on Tuesday morning, city ofcials
held a closed-door meeting with company
CEO David Tran and representatives of Gov.
Jerry Browns Business and Economic
Development Ofce.
Tran says he installed stronger lters at
the plant, and hes condent they will block
fumes when the chili-grinding season
begins in August.
China lifts ban of
U.S. West Coast shellfish
SEATTLE China has lifted a five
month-long ban on live shellsh from U.S.
West Coast waters, ofcials said Friday.
The Chinese government announced the
bans end in a letter on Friday, ofcials said.
The ban had particularly affected the
Washington and Alaska shellsh industry.
China imposed a ban in December on the
import of clams, oysters, mussels and scal-
lops harvested from Washington, Oregon,
Alaska and Northern California. China
detected high levels of inorganic arsenic in
geoducks from Puget Sound. It also found
paralytic shellsh poisoning in geoducks
harvested in Alaska. High levels of inor-
ganic arsenic and paralytic shellsh poi-
soning have not been found in other areas
of the larger region.

Of the many Many! delicious things
Ive tossed on the grill over the years, Ill
confess that oysters never made it onto my
menu.
It simply never occurred to me that my
experience of this simple raw bar treat could
be elevated by the application of a few
ames. That is, until I recently attended an
oyster event at the South Beach Wine and
Food Festival in Miami Beach. At this
rooftop oyster outing, numerous chefs were
offering up grilled oysters fresh off the
ames.
One variation topped the oyster with a
thick slab of chorizo and manchego cheese.
Amazing. But my favorite was from Hung
Huynh, the chef at Catch Miami and winner
of the third season of Bravos Top Chef.
He topped the oysters with a sauce that was
deeply savory and had just a bit of heat from
jalapenos. I decided I had to make them for
myself, and that these oysters would make a
fantastic starter for a cookout kicking off
summer.
GRILLED OYSTERS WITH MISO
BLACK BEANS AND CHILI GARLIC
Start to nish: 15 minutes, plus shucking
time
Makes 3 dozen oysters
3 tablespoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons chopped canned black
beans
2 teaspoons dark miso
2 tablespoons minced red onion
1 tablespoon minced Peppadew peppers
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno peppers
1 tablespoon sliced scallions
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup sake
1/4 cup water, plus 1 tablespoon, divided
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 dozen oysters
In a small skillet over medium-high, heat
the oil until lightly smoking. Add the garlic
and saute for 1 minute. Add the ginger, then
saute for another minute. Add the black
beans, miso, red onion, Peppadews,
jalapenos, scallions and cilantro. Saute for
1 minute, then stir in the oyster sauce, soy
sauce, sugar, sake, 1/4 cup of water and
orange juice. Bring to a boil, then simmer
for 2 minutes.
In a small glass, stir together the corn-
starch and remaining 1 tablespoon of water.
Stir into the sauce and cook, stirring, for
another minute. The sauce will be very thick
and chunky. Set aside.
Heat the grill to high.
Shuck the oysters, pouring off any extra
juice and leaving the oyster in the bottom
half of the shell. Top each oyster with 1 tea-
spoon of the sauce. Set the oysters directly
on the grill grates and cook for about 30
seconds, or until just barely heated. Use
tongs to carefully transfer the oysters (the
shells will be hot) to a platter. Serve imme-
diately.
Oysters on the grill are
a fine start to summer

Party and thinks the government cant spend
its way out of a decit.
The greatest challenge in California is just
waste, nancial waste. Its one thing to
charge high taxes, its another thing to take
that money and ush it down the drain, Gabl
said.
Gordon is on several committees that col-
lectively oversee the budget, revenue, taxa-
tion, business and consumer protection,
local government and transportation. Gordon
is also the chair of the Committee on Rules,
which oversees how the Legislature is run,
and said hes chairing the Assemblys select
committee on sea level rise.
I think given my success, essentially to
nish the task and carry some things forward
that Ive been working on, Ive gotten to a
point where I have a leadership position in
the Legislature. Im respected and I can get
some stuff done over the next two years
and provide the full level of service to my
constituents, Gordon said.
With Californias top-two primary, the top
two candidates, regardless of party, will face
off in the November general election.
Government transparency
Gov. Jerry Brown recently signed into law
Gordons Assembly Bill 800, which helps
give the California Fair Political Practices
Committee the ability to identify campaign
funding sources. Gordon said he was spurred
to action after a nonprot in Arizona, which
was later tied to at least two conservative
groups, tried to anonymously donate $11
million advocating for and against two ballot
propositions in 2012.
Gabl said the Legislature should pass what-
ever laws are necessary to keep people honest
but that unfortunately it seems almost by
denition politics is going to be plagued
with corruption but ultimately the voters
have the power [to] vote for the candidates
who are truly in it for the right reasons, Gabl
said.
Coladonato said most constituents know
little about why their representatives vote
certain ways and he vows to post his ration-
ale for every vote he would make online.
Its not healthy for any group to try and
buy the legislators one by one. And I think
most people want legislators that are
going to be an independent representative for
them, Coladonato said.
Budget and taxes
Coladonato said raising taxes isnt on his
list of priorities and hed rather focus on
spending money more wisely.
And I have to give kudos where theyre due
to [Brown] for coming up with some rainy-
day funds, Coladonato said. This is a very
responsible response to a totally unstable
situation.
Gabl said taxes are already high and she
sympathizes with those who were promised
pensions, but no one is going to walk away
happy.
Some of those liabilities are liabilities we
never should have taken on. Everybody
wants something for nothing its unfair to
saddle the rest of the state and saddle our chil-
dren and our grandchildren with those liabili-
ties, Gabl said.
Gordon said the state isnt in a position to
cut taxes and its important to start paying
down Californias debt while still establish-
ing a rainy-day fund. Gordon said hes a fan of
performance-based measuring and being
accountable to proving the public tax dollar
is used wisely. As a serious discussion about
tax reform, our income at the state is primari-
ly based on income tax and sales tax. Those
are two very volatile forms of revenue, so
looking at our options that would level that
out so we dont have huge peaks in income
would be helpful, Gordon said.
Education
Gordon said investing in K-12 education is
critical and the Local Control Funding
Formula, which shifted some spending con-
trol to local districts, is an important step
because the closer to the classroom you
make decisions about education, the better
you are. Ive never been a fan of Sacramento
designating what education should look
like, Gordon said.
Gordon added with increased understanding
on how the brain develops, he wants to pro-
mote early childhood education too.
Gabl said quality is whats important and
unions are a disservice to students because
they keep apathetic or ineffective teachers in
the classroom.
One thing that the Democrats in particular
seem to keep pushing is more funding for edu-
cation and if these funds are not used wisely,
its not going to matter how much money we
throw at the problem, Gabl said.
Coladonato agrees education is best
addressed locally and is cautiously optimistic
about the Local Control Funding Formula.
The state needs to do more to encourage top-
performing college graduates to become
teachers and said providing tenure after 18
months doesnt retain the best and brightest,
Coladonato said.
I think we can do much better to allocating
our resources to get better teachers in the
pipeline, Coladonato said. Our Legislature
can do much better to incentivize them to
become teachers.
District 24 issues
Gordon said he wants to promote affordable
housing in the Bay Area and helped to support
San Mateo Countys Housing Endowment and
Regional Trust, which help provide low-
income homebuyer and developer loans. With
the dissolution of redevelopment agencies
and land in the region being so expensive,
tax credits or government subsidies may be
necessary, Gordon said.
Coladonato and Gabl said public transit in
the Bay Area doesnt support the growing
population. Coladonato said instead of
spending billions on high-speed rail, hed
like to see Bay Area Rapid Transit run
throughout the region and Caltrain running
faster.Gabl said BART and Caltrain should
make more stops in dense areas where people
work.
Environment
Coladonato said he would use the pulpit to
stress sustainability and reducing waste by
consumers buying things that can be repaired
instead of tossed it in a landll.
Coladonato said California is paying off its
last water bond and helping everyone under-
stand that we live in a state with limited water
resources and adapting their lifestyle to it will
certainly create a much more sustainable
future than trying to kick the can down the
road.
Gabl said shes not in favor of spending
excessive money on a new water bond and
raising awareness about conservation would
be more effective.
Gordon and Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-
South San Francisco, represent the Bay Area
on the water bond working group. Gordon said
Californias current system is based on a pre-
climate change model and depends on snow
packs, which are now minimal.
Currently, Novembers proposed water
bond is for $8 billion and Gordon said he
would like to see that reduced to between $6
billion and $7 billion. He wants to focus on
improving the states groundwater storage
infrastructure, promoting conservation and
possibly desalinization. Projects that seek
funding will need to be competitive so as to
pick the most effective activities, Gordon
said.
The water bond isnt going to help us with
the drought next year, the water bond is going
to help us in the long term, Gordon said.
And with climate change, we need to be
thinking longer term.

Friday and launched at the beginning of
April. Additionally, at Bayside Dog
Exercise Park, a dog wash and a new water
fountain were installed outside the trail
entrance of the park.
The pilots are great, said Recreation
Supervisor Nicole Acquisti, who is in charge
of the pilot programs. We recently reached
out to all the neighbors, so far nobody has
had any complaints, which is nice.
On May 14, a letter was sent to residents
neighboring Cuernavaca, in the northwest
corner of Burlingame, asking for any feed-
back about the pilot program.
One thing being done in other cities like
San Mateo is using ball elds [as off-leash
areas] when theyre not in use, Acquisti
said. We tried to give them (dog owners)
options.
The off-leash dog hours will cease in June
and start back up in September at both
parks. The City Council and the Parks and
Recreation Department have been receiving
emails from residents about off-leash hours
during the summer at Cuernavaca. In the
planning stages of the programs, the citys
Dog Park Task Force did discuss mornings
during the summer months, but the chal-
lenge was that elds were used for summer
camps and there was concern about the num-
ber of children in the parks during the sum-
mer. To ensure a successful pilot program,
the task force recommended restricting the
program to the school year until the impacts
could be evaluated, such as how the owners
treated the grass.
We feel that the option to add modied
summer hours is a possibility that needs be
reviewed after the trial period concludes,
Acquisti said. If approved by the council, it
could go into effect for next summer.
Dog owners like Burlingames George
Tucker say they love the off-leash hours at
the two parks.
Its very successful and everyone can
walk their dogs over here (at Washington
Park), he said. It beats Bayside.
Councilmembers are also pleased with
how the pilot programs and additions to
Bayside are going.
They seemed to have gone quite well,
said Councilman Jerry Deal. The feedback
were getting is please continue.
Others like Councilwoman Ann Keighran
want to wait until all of the community feed-
back comes back to the council before tak-
ing a stance on if the programs went well.
My understanding is for Washington
there were no issues reported, she said. I
will have to wait and see what those results
are [for Cuernavaca]. I know some people
wanted it open for the summer, but we made
it clear it was a pilot program during the
school year and from the feedback we will
see if theres some exibility for next sum-
mer.
Owners are also asked to pick up after
their dogs, stay off the ineld, keep their
dogs within the designated off-leash area,
only bring dogs that are licensed and vacci-
nated, bring no more than two dogs per
owner and dogs must be on-leash and in
owners control upon entry and exit of the
off-leash area.
Theres no meeting set up yet on deciding
to add summer off-leash hours, but there
should be a discussion in the near future,
Deal said.

OFF-LEASH
to the City Council April 25 asking the city
to lift a moratorium on bringing food estab-
lishments and educational services to
Broadway to bring new businesses to the
street.
For 20 years, Broadway has endeavored to
encourage retail to locate on the street by
restricting the types of businesses allowed
to locate there, the letter states. In recent
years, the nature of retail has changed and
the demands of our community have
changes.
Broadway business owners like John
Kevranian, owner of Nuts for Candy on
Broadway and member of the Broadway
Business Improvement District, look for-
ward to the summit.
We want to see what the community wants
for Broadway and what we can do to improve
it, Kevranian said. We still dont want
ofces to open on the rst oor since those
type of businesses dont bring in cus-
tomers.
The district is asking the city to not allow
nancial institutions under 3,000 square feet
or any medical/dental or ofce use on the
rst oors of Broadway.
Meanwhile, Mayor Michael Brownrigg
said during his most recent campaign for
council he walked around and heard from con-
stituents who expressed a great deal of inter-
est in Broadway. The summit will give
Broadway landlords the chance to hear from
residents.
Theres concern from residents we all
want Broadway to succeed, he said. Theres
a lot of love for, and interest in, Broadway.
Councilman Ricardo Ortiz, a frequent visi-
tor of Broadway, noted there are quite a few
vacant spaces on the street.
I think it will be good to share ideas and
come up with a way to spruce it up and make
it more attractive, he said. One vacancy
that has a ripped red awning has a pigeon
living in it.
Adate has yet to be set for the summit, but
it will likely be in the early half of
September, Brownrigg said.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be resolute in showing
your friends and family what is expected of them and
what you will do in return. Until you deal with the
problems at home, they will keep growing.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You may not be getting
the whole picture. Dont make a decision until all the
information is available. Get the facts rst. A hasty
choice could cost you down the road.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You may see yourself
heading toward adopting a different lifestyle. Find out
all you can about the changes you are considering by
attending a seminar relevant to your tastes.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Dont be pressured
into spending money on an unknown or questionable
cause. You work too hard to lose your cash on
someone elses whim. Say no, and be rm.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Support will be yours,
with people freely offering assistance that will enable
you to reach your goals. You will be able to breeze
through any and all assignments that come your way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) The creativity that has
beneted your nancial situation can be put to good
use helping others. Offer your assistance, but be wary
of taking on too many ventures at once.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Partnerships
and cooperative efforts will take a lot of your energy.
Dont act in haste. It will require patience on your part
to make things happen favorably.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Go over your
projects with a ne-toothed comb before you
present what you have to offer. You risk failure and
disappointment if you let some careless mistake slip
through your guard.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Try brainstorming
with friends who share your concerns and interests. A
protable venture can be yours if you are able to sell
your plan to the right individual or organization.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Make sure that you are
prepared for anything that comes along. You may have
to make some adjustments to your original plans, but if
you are exible, you will achieve your goal.

take advantage of any situation that comes your way.
Friends and colleagues will be impressed by your

sharp. Have faith in what you do. Stick to your game
plan and dont be led astray by false promises.

WORLD 31
By Peter Leonard
DONETSK, Ukraine Dozens of dead
insurgents lay piled in a van outside a
morgue Tuesday, and a rebel said more were
on the way. Bomb disposal experts dis-
armed a mortar round lodged in a corpse. A
wrecked and blood-soaked truck at the
Donetsk airport showed the grisly after-
math of battle.
The ght for eastern Ukraine seems to
have taken a ferocious turn, as both sides
step up their attacks after the rebellious
regions mostly boycotted a presidential
election that delivered a decisive winner.
Following a day and night of the heaviest
and most sustained assault by Ukrainian
government forces to date, the pro-Russia
separatist movement nds itself facing an
emboldened and resolute national leader-
ship.
With Sundays election of billionaire
Petro Poroshenko to the presidency, Kiev
has received grudging and tentatively posi-
tive diplomatic overtures from Russia.
Leaders of the 28 EU countries, meeting
Tuesday in Brussels, said they expect Russia
to cooperate with newly elected President
Petro Poroshenko, winner of Sundays elec-
tions.
In a statement, the EU heads of state and
government said Moscow should use its
leverage on the armed separatists to de-
escalate the situation in eastern Ukraine.
But with evidence that irregulars are con-
tinuing to pour into Ukraine from Russia, it
remains unclear whether the Kremlin is
encouraging ghters whose attack Monday
on the Donetsk International Airport
showed their increasing aggression.
What is certain is that the Ukrainian gov-
ernments anti-insurgent operation has
been kicked into a higher a gear, with the
military unleashing ghter jets, helicopter
gunships and heavy artillery.

Impasse in rescue
of Nigerian girls
By Michelle Faul, Adamu Adamu and Haruna Umar
ABUJA, Nigeria Nigerias military chiefs and the pres-
ident are apparently split over how to free nearly 300
schoolgirls abducted by Islamic extremists, with the mili-
tary saying use of force endangers the hostages and the pres-
ident reportedly ruling out a prisoner-hostage swap.
The defense chief, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, announced
Monday night that the military has located the girls, but
offered no details or a way forward. We cant go and kill our
girls in the name of trying to get them back, he said.
Previous military attempts to free hostages have led to
the prisoners being killed by their abductors, including the
deaths of two engineers, a Briton and an Italian, in Sokoto
in March 2012.
Ahuman rights activist close to mediators said a swap of
detained extremists for the girls was negotiated a week ago
but fell through because President Goodluck Jonathan
refused to consider an exchange. The activist spoke to the
Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the
activist is not permitted to speak to press.
Britains Minister for Africa, Mark Simmonds, said two
weeks ago that the Nigerian leader had told him categorical-
ly he would not consider a prisoner swap.
Community leader Pogu Bitrus of Chibok, the town from
which the girls were abducted on April 15, says authorities
are speaking with discordant voices and the president
appears under pressure to negotiate.
Knockoffs a headache for IPO-bound Alibaba
HONG KONG At rst glance, the Monster Tron T1 head-
phones sold on Chinese e-commerce giant Alibabas Taobao
site are a tempting offer for audiophiles looking for state-of-
the-art hi- equipment.
But sellers omit one key detail: Monster Inc. never produced
this model.
There should be none in existence but our prototypes,
said Dave Tognotti, general manager of the California compa-
ny best known for its audio-visual cables. He said Monster
went so far as to announce a launch date but the design proved
too complex to build to the companys quality specications,
so it was abandoned.
You can understand our surprise when we started to see
counterfeit versions of this product appearing on websites
like Alibaba.com, Aliexpress.com, 1688.com, and
Taobao.com, he said. All four sites are part of Alibaba Group.
Pregnant Pakistani woman
stoned to death by family
LAHORE, Pakistan A pregnant woman was stoned to
death Tuesday by her own family outside a courthouse in the
Pakistani city of Lahore for marrying the man she loved.
The woman was killed while on her way to court to contest
an abduction case her family had led against her husband. Her
father was promptly arrested on murder charges, police inves-
tigator Rana Mujahid said, adding that police were working to
apprehend all those who participated in this heinous crime.
Arranged marriages are the norm among conservative
Pakistanis, and hundreds of women are murdered every year in
so-called honor killings carried out by husbands or relatives
as a punishment for alleged adultery or other illicit sexual
behavior.
