FROM WIRE REPORTS
A limousine taking nine women
to a bachelorette party in Foster
City erupted in ames, killing ve
of the passengers, including the
bride-to-be, authorities and the
mother of one of the survivors said
Sunday.
The limo caught re at around 10
p.m. Saturday on one of the busiest
bridges in the area, California
Highway Patrol ofcer Art Montiel
said.
Five of the women were trapped,
but the four other women managed
to get out after the vehicle came to a
stop on the San Mateo-Hayward
Bridge, the patrol said.
Rosita Guardiano said the woman
for whom the bachelorette party
was being thrown was to be married
next month. Guardiano said her
daughter was one of the survivors.
Investigators havent determined
what sparked the re, but the patrol
said the white stretch limo became
engulfed in flames after smoke
started coming out of the rear of the
vehicle.
A photo taken by a witness and
broadcast on KTVU-TV showed
ames shooting from the back of
the 1999 Lincoln Town Car.
Aerial video shot after the inci-
dent showed about one-third of the
back half of the limousine had been
scorched by the re. Its taillights
and bumper were gone and it
appeared to be resting on its rims,
but the remainder of the vehicle did-
nt appear to be damaged.
The driver of the limo 46-year-
old Orville Brown of San Jose
was the only person to escape
unhurt.
It wasnt clear how he managed to
escape without injury. Investigators
Sunday afternoon were still seeking
witnesses, the CHP said.
Four people got out, as far as
what was going on inside, I dont
know, CHP officer Jeremy
Lofstrom said Sunday. CHP investi-
gators Sunday afternoon were still
seeking witnesses to the incident.

Most Americans probably dont
think twice when they read a label
that says, Made in the USA They
assume the product is made domes-
tically. What they dont realize is
that the meaning of Made in the
USA is up for debate.
In almost all states, an item can be
labeled as Made in the USA and
still be made with a portion of for-
eign labor or foreign material.
In California, on the other hand,
there is no leeway for products
labeled Made in the USA.
Manufacturers who want to label
their goods as Made in the USA in
California must use only American
labor and American material. For
19-year-old Dylan Sievers, CEO of
Bulldog Lighting based in San
Carlos, this proved to be a problem.
At age 17, Dylan started Bulldog
Lighting which makes LED
lights for off-roading vehicles in
a business enterprise class at
Junipero Serra High School in San
Mateo. The young off-roading
enthusiast discovered there was a
lack of affordable lighting available
for people wanting to race their
trucks through dark terrain. He
asked his mom if she could use her
own background in manufacturing
to help him gure out how to make
the lights.

If only older voters are going to
the ballot, which people will elected
officials listen to most,
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin asked a
group of about 80 seniors at South
San Francisco High School Friday
morning.
The group universally said older
people.
Gene Mullin, former assembly-
man and father to Kevin, stood up
and raised his hand and said, my
age.
The father-son duo talked with
two different groups of high school
seniors Friday to discuss a
California constitutional amend-
ment, introduced by Kevin Mullin
earlier this year, to allow 17-year-
olds to vote in primaries if they will
be 18 by the next general election.
The bill is identical to one his father,
a former assemblyman, introduced
in 2008. At the time, the idea didnt
generate the two-thirds support it
needed from the Assembly.
Gene Mullin explained that
Republicans were afraid giving
young people the right to vote
would mean a sharp increase in
Democrats. While both Mullins are
Democrats, they told students multi-
ple times it wasnt about a party.
This effort is about involvement.
But now, Democrats have a super-
majority in the Legislature a
move that gives the effort hope. If
the changes gets approved by the
Legislature, it could go before
California voters in 2014 allowing
17-year-olds to vote in the 2016
presidential primary.
Currently, depending on some-
ones birthday, a new voter may be
allowed to vote in a general election
but not a primary. A change to the
system, Kevin Mullin told students,
would allow young voters to learn
about local elections in civics class
and actually vote.
Youd be some of the most edu-
cated voters, he said.
As the men explained, time isnt
often spent in the classroom
explaining local and state politics
but it can impact a teens life. For
example, theres a proposal to
change the age a person can get a
drivers license. And, the budget
decisions clearly dictate the school
day, Kevin Mullin pointed out.
Getting involved early, both said,
means a person is more likely to
continue to be involved in elections
if they start at 18.
Locally, many high schools work
to encourage students to be involved

Casino bosses transform
Sin City into Club City
LAS VEGAS To step into club XS
at the Wynn Las Vegas is to enter the
dreamscape of a modern artist with
fetishes for gold and bronze and bodies
in motion.
A golden-plated frieze made from
casts of nude women sits atop a shim-
mering staircase. Waves of electronic
dance music grow louder with each
downward step toward a pulsating, foot-
ball eld-sized club where lasers cut the
air above thousands of dancers.
The revelers take their cues from the
famous DJs onstage who are known to
surf the crowd in inatable rafts, throw
sheet cakes at clubbers faces and spray
vintage champagne into their mouths.
In Sin City, where over-the-top is
always the sales pitch, lavish nightclubs
featuring a heart-pounding party have
become the backbone of a billion-dollar
industry that is soaring while gambling
revenue slips.
We learned a long time ago that in
order to continue to attract people from
around the world, we have to provide
things that are hard to nd anywhere
else, said Jim Murren, CEO of MGM
Resorts International, which operates
nine Strip hotel-casinos boasting their
own dance scenes. These clubs, if done
correctly, are tremendous magnets.
A $100 million temple to revelry, XS
is the top-earning nightclub in the coun-
try, joining six other Vegas venues in the
top 10. Its estimated annual revenue
hovers somewhere near $90 million,
according to the trade publication
Nightclub & Bar.
The city now boasts more than 50
such clubs. New additions are coming
all the time, including the ve-story
Hakkasan at the MGM Grand, which
debuted last month, and Light at
Mandalay Bay, Cirque du Soleils rst
foray into the disco business, opening
Memorial Day weekend.
The rise of the Vegas super-club coin-
cides with the decline of the towns
gambling supremacy. The tiny Chinese
enclave of Macau surpassed the desert
oasis as the worlds top gambling desti-
nation in 2006. Singapore is on track to
claim the No. 2 spot.
During the heart of the recession,
when overall Strip revenues tumbled by
16 percent, nightclubs saw more prot
than ever. By 2011, Las Vegas was club-
bing all the way to the bank, with Strip
beverage departments earning more than
$1 billion, and casino tycoons began
remaking the Strip into the club capital
of the world.
With extravagantly paid DJs, larger-
than-life venues and billboard ads that
stretch beyond the Strip to Hollywood
Boulevard and Miami, casinos are trying to
pull off a tricky balancing act: keeping the
kitschy core that draws older generations
while nding a way to make the city hip
enough to attract a younger, big-spending
set emphasis on big-spending.
Were not interested in competing
against everyone to get the 21-year-olds
that are going to spend little to no
money and are going to clog up the hall-
ways, Murren said.
The 10-minute taxi ride from the air-
port to the Strip takes visitors past
dozens of billboards promoting top DJs
from Holland and beyond. Celine Dion
and Elton John now take their place on
marquees alongside names that recall
Internet handles, such as deadmau5
and Kaskade.
Las Vegas, long known for catching
performers on the downswing of their
careers, finally appears to have
embraced a musical trend at the height
of its popularity. Globe-trotting Dutch
DJ Afrojack, 25, said he has come to
consider the Strip his home because its
the one place he believes is as dance-
music-focused as he is.
When you exit the airport, you see
(the face of President Barack) Obama
and then you see me, said Afrojack, a
Wynn casino favorite.

A
nza and De Anza boulevards: Lt. Col.
Juan Bautista de Anza departed
Tubac, Ariz. in the mid-1770s,
blazed a trail across Arizona and guided the
rst major trip to Alta California in search of an
area to settle the land for Spain. This group of
approximately 140 settlers and 2,000 cattle
developed Monterey and San Francisco. His
name appears on numerous trails, roads, streets
and places as de Anza Boulevard, Court,
Circle, Way, etc. The name is technically incor-
rect as Anza used his name as Anza and not
de Anza for his personal use. The de was
conferred onto his family name in Spain due to
the government conferring it on him after they
took the coal rights for Spain. The de Anza was
used only for ofcial documents.
Junipero Serra Boulevard: In the 1920s, the
San Francisco and San Mateo counties
Highway District #10 proposed a faster route
between San Jose and San Francisco, roughly
paralleling El Camino Real in San Mateo
County. Starting at the intersection of Sloat
Boulevard and Portola Drive in San Francisco,
construction of this new route was begun in the
late 1920s and, after exiting in San Francisco
County, it was to be extended parallel to much
of El Camino Real, down the western part of
the Peninsula. This new route was to skirt the
populated areas that had been built up along El
Camino Real. The wide-open spaces of the
dairy and vegetable farms were perfect for a
virgin road and would incorporate many new,
modern features that would make this road
safer and a time-saver for the driver.
The Highway Commission fully intended to
complete this road next through Millbrae to
Millbrae Avenue, skirting the Junipero Serra
Park on the east, and then creating a connection
to the Bayshore along Millbrae Avenue. The
road would then be continued through
Burlingame and Hillsborough and continue
down the Peninsula to San Jose. However, by
the 1950s, the construction of the road through
Millbrae and Burlingame created a problem as
a Millbrae housing development conicted
with the proposed highway, and it offered no
exit along the route in Millbrae area.
A breakthrough in the problem came in the
1950s when the federal government proposed
the construction of the Interstate Highway
System. In early 1955, the proposed route of
the Junipero Serra Highway was reoriented in
San Bruno to go to Skyline Boulevard through
the proposed Crestmoor Addition and south to
Ralston Avenue in Belmont. This new route
was located considerably west of the original
route, and it no longer divided the Peninsula
cities. In the 1960s, the route was again modi-
ed, and the proposed Junipero Serra Highway
in San Bruno was absorbed into the Interstate
Highway System, which created Interstate 280
connecting San Francisco to San Jose.
Callan Boulevard, South San Francisco: The
Callan family migrated to California from
Ireland and bought a half-square block of prop-
erty on Washington Street and Sullivan Avenue
in Daly City (present site of In-N-Out Burger
and Krispy Kreme). Tom Sr. was born on this
land. His parents raised hogs, chickens and
rabbits. His brothers and sisters, nine of them,
provided the labor for running the hog ranch.
Tom Sr. eventually raised his own hogs in the
St. Francis Heights area before buying land in
the MacArthur Drive area. Pigs and property
led him to a successful investment career. In
1946, his sons, Mike and Tom Jr. opened a real
estate ofce in Broadmoor and began building
houses on land they purchased. Tom Sr. contin-
ued purchasing property for hog ranches, some
as far away as Santa Barbara, Calif.
In addition to being a businessman, Tom Sr.
became active in the Republican Central
Committee in Daly City, as well as running for
a school board seat in the Jefferson High
School District. He was elected to both. In
1953, he became a county supervisor and
retained the seat until losing to James
Fitzgerald of San Bruno in 1960.
In 1960, Tom Callan Sr., sons Tom Jr. and
Mike, paid $7 million for 120 acres of unde-
veloped land west of Junipero Serra Highway
and the Buri Buri subdivision that had been
built in the 1950s. They acquired additional
acreage later to complete the 530 acres that
would be incorporated into South San
Francisco Oct. 8, 1964. The Peninsula was on
a building boom and Callan was able to acquire
the last big piece of land on which to build
houses. It was to cost a projected $150 million
and have a population of 15,000 residents.
Rediscovering the Peninsula by Darold Fredericks
appears in the Monday edition of the Daily
Journal.

Graduations are emotional for many people
family, friends, the graduate.
Van Ton-Quinlivan, California Community
Colleges vice chancellor
for workforce and eco-
nomic envelopment, has
seen the lasting impact of
education thats celebrated
in graduations. Ton-
Quinlivan described
watching the wife of a vet-
eran emotionally talk
about the positive changes
in her husband after com-
pleting a program to allow
him to be more competi-
tive in the energy sector. Ton-Quinlivan
recalled the happiness, emotion and how it
positively impacted his familys life.
He had all the skills, she said.
It was about a little bit of training to bridge
the industry needs with his education, she
said. Creating those opportunities for the
futures workforce is Ton-Quinlivans focus.
Ton-Quinlivan, a mom of two young boys,
moved with her family to be closer to
Sacramento for the state position. But they
maintain their home in Burlingame. Her work
hasnt gone unnoticed. Today, Ton-Quinlivan
will be among 15 Asian American and Pacic
Islander women to be recognized by the
White House as Champions of Change. A
part of the White Houses observance of AAPI
Heritage Month, this event will recognize
Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacic
Islander women who are doing extraordinary
things to create a more equal, safe, and pros-
perous future for their communities and the
country.
These 15 women represent the strength
and diversity of the AAPI community. These
leaders in business, advocacy, philanthro-
py, sports, the arts and academia are won-
derful examples for young women across the
country, Valerie Jarrett, senior advisor to the
president and chair of the White House
Council on Women and Girls, said in a press
release this week.
Ton-Quinlivan is being recognized for her
work to transform the countrys largest high-
er education system through Doing What
MATTERS for Jobs and Economy a
framework to align the college offerings to
real opportunities in the job market and
emerging elds.
We are delighted that the White House has
recognized Vice Chancellor Ton-Quinlivan as
a Champion for Change, said California
Community Colleges Chancellor Brice W.
Harris. She is leading our systems drive to
work more collaboratively on a regional basis
to address Californias workforce needs. Our
economy needs a nimble and highly strategic
approach to labor market changes, and Vice
Chancellor Ton-Quinlivan is steering us in the
right direction.
Workforce development has been important
to Ton-Quinlivan since she was young. Her
family moved to Hawaii when she was a child
after the Vietnam War. Ton-Quinlivan
described her mom with three young children
in a new place while her father studied. It
made Ton-Quinlivan really aware of the pow-
ers of education. Shes since taken every
opportunity to further her own learning skills
in both business and education reform.
I have a commitment to working families
and working adults and their children, she
said.
Ton-Quinlivan has been with the California
Community Colleges since 2011 and has
more than 15 years in a variety of corporate
leadership roles, most recently as director of
workforce development at Pacific Gas &
Electric, where she created PowerPathway, a
nationally recognized program in workforce
development.
In her current position, Ton-Quinlivan gets
to focus on closing the skill gap and targeting
growing sectors. As such, shes spending time
getting to know different regions in California
as well as their economic needs.
To watch this event live visit www.white-
house.gov/live at 11 a.m. Monday, May 6.
Ton-Quinlivan will be one of the panelists
during the event. For more information about

Save the Bay is honoring San Mateo
County with its Clean Bay Award for
taking charge in drafting and imple-
menting a plastic bag ban ordinance
emulated by nearly all of its cities.
The award, which will be present-
ed Tuesday to the Board of
Supervisors by Save the Bay
Executive Director David Lewis,
highlights an ordinance that under-
scores a regional approach is the
best way to rid waterways of plastic,
according to the nonprot.
Many cities had talked about
doing something for years, but
lacked the resources to tackle the
lengthy and complicated process of
performing an environmental impact
report, said Dean Peterson, the
countys director of environmental
health, in a prepared statement.
All cities in San Mateo County and
six cities in Santa Clara County par-
ticipated in the EIR process. The

San Carlos planning commission-
ers will consider changing the zon-
ing in its industrial area to limit
large-scale businesses without a
direct economic benefit on land
officials prefer to keep available
for a hotel at the citys gateway.
The proposal comes two weeks
after the City Council opted
against extending an emergency
zoning limit imposed in March
after a developer expressed inter-
ested in building a substantial fit-
ness center on three of five parcels
at Holly Street and Industrial
Road designated as the landmark
hotel site. In a split 3-2 vote, the
council said it wasnt comfortable
with the impacts to existing busi-
ness owners who said not knowing
the zonings final outcome was
scaring away potential business
and infringing on their private
property rights. Instead, a council
majority directed the staff to work
on changing the zoning for the
long term rather than relying on
another 120-day hiatus.
Outside of the urgency ordi-
nance, current zoning does not
require land owners to seek fur-
ther city review for permitted uses
such as a recreation facility
greater than 5,000 square feet
which means although officials
may want a hotel they have no
way to prevent a different use
from moving in.
The proposal calls for a new
zoning district called landmark
commercial along the Highway
101 gateway. The city currently
has 12 large parcels identified as
having strong economic develop-
ment potential.
If the new zoning is ultimately
approved, the general plan would
indicate preferred uses for land-
mark sites like large-scale office
complexes and hotels. The zoning
would also call for regional retail
and destination-oriented uses
again office and hotels along
with ancillary uses like eating,
drinking and entertainment. All
other uses would require a use
permit, be allowed only on an
interim basis and be limited to
existing buildings.
The zoning amendment would
specify that the uses have signif-
icant beneficial results in employ-
ment growth and contribute to the
economic sustainability of the city
and implementation of the citys
economic development plan.
But while city officials are
gung-ho for a hotel and the sales
tax revenue it would bring, the
market might not be ripe for such
a business in San Carlos right
now, commercial Realtor William
Steele said last month before the
City Council vetoed extending the
urgency ordinance.
The Planning Commission meets
7 p.m. Monday, May 6 at City Hall,
600 Elm St., San Carlos.

One wounded in drive-by shooting
Police in East Palo Alto are investigating a shooting that left
one man injured Saturday night.
Ofcers responded to an activation of the Shot Spotter sys-
tem that detected multiple gunshots in the 2100 block of
Cooley Avenue at about 9:05 p.m., according to East Palo
Alto police Sgt. Jeff Liu.
Arriving ofcers found a 30-year-old East Palo Alto man
who had been shot in the torso several times, police said.
The victim was taken to a hospital and was reported to be
in serious but stable condition.
A preliminary investigation revealed the man had been
standing in his driveway when a silver or gray sedan drove up
and stopped, police said.
Someone red several shots from inside the car, which
drove off on Cooley Avenue.
Anyone who might have witnessed the shooting is asked to
contact East Palo Alto police at (650) 321-1112.
Five homes damaged in Hillsborough re
A re in Hillsborough damaged ve homes Friday evening,
according to the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce.
Central County reghters received a report of a structure
re in the 1800 block of Black Mountain Road at about 4:53
p.m., according to sheriffs deputies.
Two homes were fully involved in the re and three nearby
homes were also damaged.
All residents of the ve homes were accounted for and no
injuries were sustained as a result of the re, deputies said.
The re was brought under control and extinguished with-
in two hours of the initial report, sheriffs deputies said.
The cause of the re remains under investigation by police
and re ofcials.
4th abalone diver dies in waters off Northern CA
SANTA ROSA A diver died Saturday in the quest for
abalone that has claimed three other lives in the waters off
Northern California the past week.
The middle-aged man collapsed on a Sonoma County
beach after getting out of the water, the Press-Democrat
reported.
The supervising ranger at Salt Point State Park said the man
went into distress in a popular hunting ground for the mol-
lusks, where another diver died one week earlier.
Fishing season for abalone, which are prized delicacies by
seafood lovers, opened April 1 and ran for several weeks
without incident.
Then last weekend three divers died in separate incidents in
the water, where powerful rip currents were reported.
Cedric Collett, a 66-year-old retired reghter, died April
27 while diving off Shell Beach in Sonoma County. His body
was found still in his weight belt, which is used to help a diver
stay submerged while prying abalone loose from rocks.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAMARILLO Cool, moist air
moving into Southern California on
Sunday helped reghters build con-
tainment lines around a huge wildre
burning through coastal mountains.
Fire crews took advantage of
improved conditions as the high winds
and hot, dry air of recent days were
replaced by the normal Pacic air, sig-
nicantly reducing re activity.
The 44-square-mile blaze at the west-
ern end of the Santa Monica Mountains
was 60 percent surrounded.
Full containment was expected
Monday, according to Ventura County
re ofcials.
The progress led authorities to lift all
remaining evacuation orders.
Weve really transitioned from a re
attack to a mop-up patrol, Nick
Schuler, battalion chief for the
California Department of Forestry and
Fire Protection, told the Ventura County
Star.
One firefighter was injured in the
Newbury Park area while battling the
blaze and was taken to a hospital, the
newspaper said.
The National Weather Service said an
approaching low pressure system would
bring a 20 percent chance of showers
Sunday afternoon, with the likelihood
increasing into the night and on
Monday.
Nearly 2,000 firefighters using
engines, bulldozers and aircraft worked
to corral the blaze.
Fireghting efforts were focused on
the res east side, rugged canyons that
are a mix of public and private lands.
The change in the weather was also
expected to bring gusty winds to some
parts of Southern California, but well
away from the re area.
Despite its size and speed of growth,
the re that broke out Thursday and
quickly moved through neighborhoods
of Camarillo Springs and Thousand
Oaks has caused damage to just 15
homes, though it has threatened thou-
sands.
The re also swept through Point
Mugu State Park, a hiking and camping
area that sprawls between those commu-
nities and the ocean.
Cooler weather aids fight against wildfire
FRESNO California and federal
public health ofcials say valley fever, a
potentially lethal but often misdiag-
nosed disease infecting more and more
people around the nation, has been on
the rise as warming climates and
drought have kicked up the dust that
spreads it.
The fever has hit Californias agricul-
tural heartland particularly hard in recent
years, with incidence dramatically
increasing in 2010 and 2011. The disease
which is prevalent in arid regions of
the United States, Mexico, Central and
South America can be contracted by
simply breathing in fungus-laced spores
from dust disturbed by wind as well as
human or animal activity.
The fungus is sensitive to environ-
mental changes, experts say, and a hot-
ter, drier climate has increased dust car-
rying the spores.
Research has shown that when soil is
dry and it is windy, more spores are like-
ly to become airborne in endemic areas,
said Dr. Gil Chavez, Deputy Director of
the Center for Infectious Diseases at the
California Department of Public Health.
Longstanding concerns about valley
fever were heightened last week when a
federal health ofcial ordered the trans-
fer of more than 3,000 exceptionally
vulnerable inmates from two San
Joaquin Valley prisons where several
dozen have died of the disease in recent
years. A day later, state ofcials began
investigating an outbreak in February
that sickened 28 workers at two solar
power plants under construction in San
Luis Obispo County.

SACRAMENTO California
was an early booster of President
Barack Obamas health care reform
law and was the rst state to author-
ize a health insurance exchange in
2010. It also was quick to commit to
the optional Medicaid expansion
that has been rejected by some
Republican states.
Turns out, saying yes was the
easy part.
Its been months since Gov. Jerry
Brown agreed to expand Medi-Cal,
as Medicaid is known in the state, to
some 1.4 million Californians, but
he and his Democratic colleagues in
the Legislature are still wrangling
over details of the expansion.
Democrats, who control the
Assembly and Senate, disagree with
Brown over the
M e d i - C a l
enrollment and
implementation
p r o c e s s .
Meanwhile, the
governor is
pushing for
budget savings
by reducing
county support
for indigent care.
He and the Democratic leaders
remain apart over terms of the legis-
lation seeking to expand Medi-Cal
up to 138 percent of the federal
poverty level, or nearly $15,860 for
an individual. Democratic lawmak-
ers and health advocates fear that
even a short delay will cost
California hundreds of millions of
dollars in federal support.
California needs to expand
Medi-Cal fully and urgently in
order for us to be ready for open
enrollment in five months, said
Anthony Wright, executive director
of Health Access California, a
group that lobbies for health care
for the poor. Theres not a lot of
time, and there are decisions we still
need to make that then inuence
what counties do, what community
groups do. People have to be
trained.
The health insurance exchange
begins enrolling customers on Oct.
1, and the state wants to sign up
uninsured Californians whether
they qualify for a public program
such as Medi-Cal or will have to
buy private coverage. In most cases,
those buying their own insurance
will receive tax credits to make pre-
miums more affordable.
The state has to be ready to direct
people to the right place, whether
its to their county health services
department or the states new insur-
ance marketplace, Covered
California.
While lawmakers have passed
regulations for private insurance,
they have yet to agree with the gov-
ernor on the Medicaid portion
because Brown is particularly wary
of the potential costs that could
affect state spending for years to
come.
We want to implement this and
we still believe theres time to be
successful and to implement the
optional expansion, but we need to
do it and recognize that it needs to
be done in a way that is affordable
and sustainable given that the gov-
ernor has worked to make sure
that we have our fiscal house in
balance over the long haul, said
Toby Douglas, director of the
California Department of Health
Care Services, which runs Medi-
Cal.
Under the expansion, more than
1.4 million California adults under
age 65 will be newly eligible for
Medi-Cal. Of those, between
750,000 and 910,000 are expected
to enroll by 2019, according to a
joint study by the University of
California, Berkeleys Center for
Labor Research and Education and
the UCLA Center for Health Policy
Research.
Another 240,000 to 510,000
Californians who are eligible but
not enrolled in Medi-Cal are pro-
jected sign up by that time. Overall,
the study estimated that 5.8 million
Californians will be uninsured in
2019 without the Affordable Care
Act.

SPOKANE, Wash. The three
airman killed in the crash of a mili-
tary tanker refueling plane in the
mountains of Kyrgyzstan were from
Fairchild Air Force Base in
Washington state, the Department of
Defense said Sunday.
The airmen assigned to the 93rd
Air Refueling died May 3, near
Chon-Aryk, Kyrgyzstan, in the
crash of a KC-135 aircraft.
The Defense Department has
identied the three airmen as Capt.
Mark T. Voss, 27, of Colorado
Springs, Colo., Capt. Victoria A.
Pinckney, 27, of Palmdale, Calif.,
and Tech Sgt. Herman Mackey III,
30, of Bakerseld, Calif.
Search teams on Saturday found
the bodies of two of the American
crew members near where their
military refueling plane crashed in
the rugged mountains of
Kyrgyzstan, while the third crew
member was still missing, the emer-
gencies minister of the Central
Asian nation said.
The cause of the crash is still
under investigation.
The KC-135 plane crashed Friday
afternoon about 100 miles west of
the air base that the U.S. operates in
Kyrgyzstan to support military oper-
ations in Afghanistan.
Fairchild is home of the 92nd Air
Refueling Wing, and is one of sever-
al U.S. bases where KC-135s are
located. The plane is used for midair
refueling of other planes.
The plane was on a refueling
mission for Afghanistan war oper-
ations at the time of the crash, a
U.S. defense official in
Washington said, speaking anony-
mously because he was not author-
ized to discuss the details of an
ongoing investigation.
The U.S. base, which is adjacent
to Manas International Airport out-
side Bishkek, the Kyrgyz capital,
was established in late 2001 to
support the international military
campaign in Afghanistan.
It functions as an interim point
for troops going into or out of
Afghanistan and as a home for the
tanker planes that refuel warplanes
in flight.

HARTFORD, Conn. Tom
Leksan lost nearly everything when
gambling became an addiction with
easy access to casinos.
Once an Ohio lawyer, Leksan lost
his job and marriage because of
gambling, specically blackjack. He
had been gambling for years, he
said, but did not become a problem
gambler until he became hooked on
riverboat casinos in nearby Indiana.
I think the casinos thrive off the
compulsive gambler, said Leksan,
now a car salesman in northern
California. They pay lip service to
treating problem gambling, but
thats their bread and butter.
The unrelenting spread of casino
gambling across America is reaping
billions of dollars for the industry
and government coffers but is also
creating more compulsive gamblers.
Addiction experts say the sums
spent by states for treatment and
counseling are too little to keep
pace.
Even after the worst recession in
decades and during a weak econom-
ic recovery, developers are building
new casinos and adjoining attrac-
tions with the blessings of cash-hun-
gry states.
Ohio opened its rst casinos last
year.

NATION 7
By Josh Lederman
COLUMBUS, Ohio A year to
the day after kicking off his victori-
ous re-election campaign on this
college campus, President Barack
Obama returned to Ohio State
University and told graduates that
only through vigorous participation
in their democracy can they right an
ill-functioning government and
break through relentless cynicism
about the nations future.
I dare you, Class of 2013, to do
better. I dare you to dream bigger,
Obama said.
In a sunbaked stadium lled with
more than 57,000 students, friends
and relatives, Obama lamented an
American political system that gets
consumed by
small things
and works for
the benefit of
societys elite.
He called gradu-
ates to duty to
a c c o mp l i s h
great things,
like rebuilding a
s t i l l - f e e b l e
economy and ghting poverty and
climate change.
Only you can ultimately break
that cycle. Only you can make sure
the democracy you inherit is as
good as we know it can be, Obama
told more than 10,000 cap-and-
gown-clad graduates gathered for
the rite of passage. But it requires
your dedicated, informed and
engaged citizenship.
The visit to Ohio State the rst
of three commencement addresses
Obama will give this season was
a homecoming of sorts for Obama,
who has visited the campus ve
times over little more than a year,
starting with his rst ofcial cam-
paign rally here last May. He made
many more stops elsewhere in Ohio
as he and Republican Mitt Romney
dueled for the Buckeye State, and
its 18 electoral votes were pivotal to
Obamas victories in both 2008 and
2012.
There was little direct mention of
party politics Sunday, but ample
allusion to the partisan battles that
cramped many of Obamas legisla-
tive efforts in his rst term and have
continued unabated into his second.
In an apparent reference to his
failed push on gun control, he
bemoaned that a small minority in
Congress nd excuses to oppose
things that most Americans support.
This is a joyous occasion, so let
me put it charitably: I think its fair
to say our democracy isnt working
as well as we know it can, Obama
said.
Invoking the end of the Cold War,
9/11 and the economic recession,
Obama said this generation had
been tested beyond what their par-
ents could have imagined. But he
said young Americans have
responded with a deep commitment
to service and a conviction that they
can improve their surroundings. He
urged graduates to run for ofce,
start a business or join a cause, con-
tending that the health of their
democracy requires your dedicat-
ed, informed and engaged citizen-
ship.
Youve grown up hearing voices
that incessantly warn of government
as nothing more than some separate,
sinister entity thats at the root of all
our problems, Obama said. You
should reject these voices. Because
what these suggest is that somehow
our brave, creative, unique experi-
ment in self-rule is just a sham with
which we cant be trusted.
Among the 10,143 students
receiving diplomas at this sprawling
state university Sunday were 130
veterans, including the rst class to
benet from the new GI Bill that
Congress passed after 9/11, univer-
sity ofcials said.

Soccer referee punched by player in Utah dies
MURRAY, Utah Ricardo Portillos daughters had
begged him to stop refereeing in a soccer league because of
the growing risk of violence from angry players.
Now theyre faced with planning his funeral after he suc-
cumbed to injuries late Saturday that had put him in a coma
for a week since a 17-year-old goalie punched him in the
head. Authorities say the teen punched Portillo after the youth
was called for a foul and issued a yellow card.
The suspect was close to Portillo and punched him once in
the face as a result of the call, Unied police spokesman
Justin Hoyal said in a statement.
The suspect has been booked into juvenile detention on sus-
picion of aggravated assault.
Nation brief
COLUMBUS JUNCTION, Iowa
The rst Chin Burmese student arrived
at Wilma Sime Roundy Elementary
School three years ago, a smiling pre-
schooler whose father often checked on
his progress.
The school had long been accustomed
to educating the children of the Mexicans,
Hondurans and El Salvadorans who came
to work at the sprawling Tyson Foods
pork processing plant that sits outside this
town of 2,000. But then, principal Shane
Rosenberg recalled, Tyson informed
school leaders that a new group of work-
ers was coming the Chin, a largely
Christian ethnic minority who were ee-
ing their homeland in western Myanmar
to avoid persecution.
A trickle of Chin students turned into
dozens. Frustrated educators struggled
to communicate, often having to call the
pastor of the Chin church to interpret.
Rosenberg intervened to ease the way,
using grant money to hire one of the
Chin to translate to and from the Hakha
language. And he invited Chin parents
for a welcoming ceremony and tour of
the school.
It was an awe-inspiring moment, for
them to see the opportunities their chil-
dren were going to have by being here in
school, he said.
All told, about 400 refugees have
descended on the town, and more are
arriving by the week to reunite with
friends and relatives and work grueling
jobs for Tyson. Like other waves of
immigrants, they were drawn to this
poor, sparsely populated region of south-
eastern Iowa by the promise of jobs,
good schools and welcoming people.
And as was the case with other waves
of immigrants, there have been bumps
along the way.
Weve had a lot of experience with
Hispanic cultures, but for all of us, the
Burmese thing is new. Theres no one
around that is an expert in that area or
knows the language or this and that. That
whole transition has been interesting,
said Mayor Dan Wilson, a businessman
who grew up on a farm outside town. He
said the inux has been more easily
noticed in Columbus Junction than else-
where.

WORCESTER, Mass. The uncle
of Boston Marathon bombing suspect
Tamerlan Tsarnaev arrived in
Massachusetts on Sunday to arrange for
his burial, saying he understands that
no one wants to associate their names
with such evil events.
Ruslan Tsarni, of Montgomery
Village, Md., and three of his friends
met with the Worcester funeral home
director and prepared to wash and
shroud Tsarnaevs body according to
Muslim tradition. The 26-year-old died
after a gun battle with police on April
19.
Funeral director Peter Stefan said he
hasnt been able to nd a cemetery in
Massachusetts willing to take the body.
He said he plans to ask the city of
Cambridge, where Tsarnaev lived, to
provide a burial plot, and if Cambridge
turns him down, he will seek help from
state ofcials.
Tsarni told reporters that he is arrang-
ing for Tsarnaevs burial because reli-
gion and tradition call for his nephew to
be buried.
He would like him buried in
Massachusetts because hes lived in the
state for the last decade, he said.
Im dealing with logistics. A dead
person must be buried, he said.
He said he was grateful to Stefan for
agreeing to arrange the burial and to his
friends for accompanying him to
Massachusetts to aid with the funeral.
These are my friends who feel for me
... as I do understand no one wants to
associate their names with such evil
events, he said.

BEIRUT Israel rushed to beef
up its rocket defenses on its northern
border Sunday to shield against pos-
sible retaliation after carrying out
two airstrikes in Syria over 48 hours
an unprecedented escalation of
Israeli involvement in the Syrian
civil war.
Syria and its patron Iran hinted at
possible retribution, though the rhet-
oric in ofcial statements appeared
relatively muted.
Despite new concerns about a
regional war, Israeli ofcials sig-
naled they will keep trying to block
what they see as an effort by Iran to
send sophisticated weapons to
Lebanons Hezbollah militia ahead
of a possible collapse of Syrian
President Bashar Assads regime.
Israel has
r e p e a t e d l y
threatened to
intervene in the
Syrian civil war
to stop the trans-
fer of what it
calls game-
c h a n g i n g
weapons to
Hezbollah, a
Syrian-backed group that battled
Israel to a stalemate during a month-
long war in 2006.
Since carrying out a lone airstrike
in January that reportedly destroyed
a shipment of anti-aircraft missiles
headed to Hezbollah, Israel had
largely stayed on the sidelines. That
changed over the weekend with a
pair of airstrikes, including an attack
near a sprawling military complex
close to the Syrian capital of
Damascus early Sunday that set off
a series of powerful explosions.
The Israeli government and mili-
tary refused to comment. But a sen-
ior Israeli ofcial said both airstrikes
targeted shipments of Fateh-110
missiles bound for Hezbollah. The
Iranian-made guided missiles can y
deep into Israel and deliver powerful
half-ton bombs with pinpoint accu-
racy. The ofcial spoke on condition
of anonymity because he was dis-
cussing a covert military operation.
Syrias government called the
attacks a agrant violation of inter-
national law that has made the
Middle East more dangerous. It
also claimed the Israeli strikes
proved the Jewish states links to
rebel groups trying to overthrow
Assads regime.
Syrias information minister,
Omran al-Zoubi, reading a Cabinet
statement after an emergency gov-
ernment meeting, said Syria has the
right and duty to defend its people
by all available means.
Israeli defense ofcials believe
Assad has little desire to open a new
front with Israel when he is preoccu-
pied with the survival of his regime.
More than 70,000 people have been
killed since the uprising against
Assad erupted in March 2011, and
Israeli ofcials believe it is only a
matter of time before Assad is top-
pled.
Still, Israel seemed to be taking
the Syrian threats seriously. Israels
military deployed two batteries of its
Iron Dome rocket defense system to
the north of the country Sunday. It
described the move as part of ongo-
ing situational assessments.
Israel says the Iron Dome shot
down hundreds of incoming short-
range rockets during eight days of
ghting against Hamas militants in
the Gaza Strip last November.
Hezbollah red some 4,000 rockets
into Israel during the 2006 war, and
Israel believes the group now pos-
sesses tens of thousands of rockets
and missiles.
The Iron Dome deployment fol-
lowed a surprise Israeli drill last
week in which several thousand
reservists simulated conict in the
north. In another possible sign of
concern, Israel closed the airspace
over northern Israel to civilian ights
on Sunday and tightened security at
embassies overseas, Israeli media
reported. Israeli ofcials would not
conrm either measure.

BAGHDAD A series of
attacks including a blast near an
Internet cafe in a Sunni area of
Baghdad killed nine people and
wounded dozens on Sunday in and
around the Iraqi capital.
The attacks came amid height-
ened sectarian tension following a
deadly security crackdown on a
camp in northern Iraq run by
Sunnis, protesting what they consid-
er to be their second-class treatment
by the Shiite-led government.
Government investigators say the
April 23 incident left 40 people
dead, while a spate of follow-up
attacks and battles has killed well
over 200 more.
The bloodshed has raised fears
that the country could be heading
for a new wave of sectarian ghting
like that which nearly pushed it to
the brink of civil war in the middle
of the last decade.
Police ofcials said that the rst
attack occurred Sunday morning when
a bomb went off near Zein al-Abideen
mosque in the western suburbs of
Baghdad. One passerby was killed, six
others were wounded and the outer
wall of the mosque was damaged.
Hours later, police said, gunmen
stormed the house of a district mayor
in Mahmoudiya town, killing the
mayor and his son. Mahmoudiya is 20
miles south of Baghdad.
At night, police said that a bomb
exploded near an Internet cafe in a
Sunni neighborhood in western
Baghdad, killing three people and
wounding 13 others.
Minutes later, three people were
killed and 14 others wounded when
mortar shells landed on houses on
the western edge of Baghdad.

CARACAS, Venezuela
Venezuelas top security ofcial
announced Sunday the government of
President Nicolas Maduro will use
the military to ght rampant violent
crime, raising concerns among
activists who warned the initiative
could lead to human rights violations.
Justice Minister Miguel
Rodriguez said personnel from the
army, navy and air force will join
National Guard troops as part of a
forthcoming anti-crime initiative.
Rodriguez did not provide details
of the plan during an interview broad-
cast on state television, but he said
tapping the military would give the
government potential that we can
use to quickly reduce the crime rate.
It will be a good tool that is
going to bring peace to citizens, he
said.
According to a recently released
study by the U.N. Development
Program, Venezuela had the worlds
fth highest homicide rate last year,
trailing Honduras, El Salvador, the
Ivory Coast and Jamaica.

OPINION 9
Response to Planned Bay Area
Editor,
Thank you, Bob Nice, for your letter
published in the May 3 edition of the
Daily Journal. All and I do mean all
these Transit Village and other
developments are doing (other then
bringing the almighty tax revenue for
the cities) is creating more and more
congestion.
I cant wait to see Peninsula Avenue
in the morning after that monstrosity is
nished. Sunnybrae/Kmart, I bet that
State Route 92 onramp will be just
swell.
Lets face it. Millbrae Avenue,
Broadway, Burlingame, Hillsdale, San
Carlos Avenue and Im sure perhaps a
few others are already a major
headache daily. Oh, and the parking (or
lack thereof).
I would hope our communities and
their ofcials and staff could think out-
side the box for more comprehensive
solutions than build, build, build.

Plan Bay Area
Editor,
One major concern from both sup-
porters and opponents was that only a
few people are actively aware of the
One Bay Area plan (What is Plan Bay
Area? in the May 1 edition of the
Daily Journal). There were about 100
people at the hearing and one speak-
er said there should have been 1,000.
This is a huge plan that will require
signicant investments, change our
government, landscape, mode of trans-
portation, quality of life and private
property rights. A number of people
said something of this magnitude
should be put to the people for a vote.
It seemed that the better part of the
plan is a utopian dream by people who
are well meaning, but seriously out of
touch with the real issues of our com-
munities. Their vision of the perfect
community is not consistent with what
most speakers said. In addition, they
have no credible way to pay for it. The
people devising this plan are not the
ones who will be giving up their cars to
take public transportation, or moving
into high density housing shared with
low income residents.
There was also a sense that trying to
plan 30 years into the future is itself an
ill-conceived venture. If we were back
in the 1960s when orchards were plen-
tiful, what would our 30-year plan look
like? It certainly wouldnt have includ-
ed the 7 million people who live in the
Bay Area today. If we were back in the
1980s, when the semi-conductor busi-
ness was booming, how would our 30-
year plan look?
This is a 30-year plan that will cost
upwards of $300 billion with a lot of
moving parts.
A lot of public involvement is needed.
Thomas Weissmiller

Terrorism
Editor,
In his recent letter, Scott Abramson is
right to criticize the administration
regarding its unwillingness to label
Islamic terrorism for what it is.
However, the administration is not the
only problem. Why does the media
refer to Palestinian terrorists as mili-
tants and not terrorists? Militancy can
involve violent activity, but it may also
be peaceful. Terrorism by denition is
not peaceful. People who blow up
crowded pizza parlors or school buses
are terrorists and thats what we should
call them. Avoiding the word does not
solve the problem.

The (Vacaville) Reporter
W
ith more tax revenue com-
ing into the state
because of a better econo-
my and voter-approved taxes the
battle over school funding is headed in
a new direction. This year, instead of
arguing about how much to take away
from public school districts, legislators
and the governor are squabbling over
how to fairly divide the increased rev-
enue.
The governor wants to send signi-
cantly more money to school districts
with higher proportions of students who
are poor, who dont speak English pro-
ciently and/or who are wards of the
state.
Legislators, such as the state senators
who unveiled their own plan last week,
seem to agree that districts whose stu-
dents face such obstacles should receive
more money, but they have a different
idea for how to get it to them.
Both sides would increase the overall
amount of per-pupil spending, but they
disagree over Browns proposal to pro-
vide school districts with a separate
chunk of money when more than half
of their students are poor, English
speakers and/or foster children.
If you put it into the districts that
have high concentrations of poverty, it
will have a very powerful effect,
Brown argued recently, as he warned
legislators who challenged his plan that
they would face the battle of their
lives.
State senators apparently felt up for
the challenge, as they proposed spread-
ing that extra money around. They
argue and rightly so that even
school districts with lower overall per-
centages of disadvantaged students may
still have pockets of poverty or lan-
guage barriers.
Other reforms being proposed may
be more signicant in the long run.
Take the change in categorical funds
money the state now gives to districts
that can be spent only for specic pro-
grams or items.
In the past, there have been as many
as 60 separate categorical funds, and a
handful of them would continue, such
as special education or child nutrition.
But since 2009, school districts have
had more discretion about how to spend
much of the categorical money. The
public, the governor and the state
Legislature all favor continuing that
exibility as long as the schools pro-
vide the textbooks, staff training or spe-
cial programs the money was intended
to pay for.
Accountability is the key to this
change, but guring out how to meas-
ure it is the challenge.
Its relatively easy to tell if a school
district is providing enough textbooks
or training hours, but how will lawmak-
ers know if pouring more money into
schools with high poverty levels or few
native English speakers is working?
Unfortunately, for all of the research
into what works in education, no one
has yet to gure out how much more
money it actually takes to close the dis-
parity gap between students who live in
poverty and/or dont speak much
English and everyone else.
The state Senate proposes to gauge
success, according to Sen. Steinberg, by
requiring districts to meet curriculum
standards that lead to a pathway to
college and/or a high-wage career
as if California were the mythical Lake
Woebegone, where all of the kids are
above average.
The governor is calling for school
districts to develop plans to publicly
explain how they expect to educate stu-
dents, although it is unclear exactly
what would happen to districts that fail
to live up to their plans.
The governor and the Legislature
have it backward: Rather than starting
with an argument about who should get
the most money, they ought to gure
out what success looks like. If they
could realistically articulate where the
schools ought to be headed, it would be
a lot easier to identify where the funds
to get there are needed.
Accountability first on school funding
Its historic
and protected
W
herever you go, as a tourist, in Savannah, Ga.,
and Charleston or Beaufort, S.C., it seems you
are walking on historic if not celebrity ground..
You cant pass a building or house, usually no more than two
stories, without noting its age or importance.
Remembered are George Washingtons visit, the Civil War
generals and soldiers who fought and died, the slaves who
were sold and labored on rice, indigo and cotton farms and
plantations. Recently its Hollywood celebrities. Clint
Eastwood lmed Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
in Savannah; Jim Williams house where he killed his lover is
a major tourist attraction but
the garden statue was moved
into a museum to save it
from gawkers. Barbra
Streisand made The Prince
of Tides in Beaufort. Also
lmed in its National
Historic Landmark District
was Forrest Gump.
Meanwhile, guides point out
the house on Charlestons
waterfront where Stephen
Colbert grew up with his 10
siblings. A medical building
at the College of Charleston
is named after his father, a
prominent local doctor. The
Citadel, also in Charleston, has a statute of famous grad,
General Mark Clark. Its a family tradition to go to the
Citadel if you want to be a successful in Charleston. Only
about 30 percent of its grads actually join the military.
***
People in the South take their history seriously. Charleston,
founded in 1670, passed the rst historic preservation law in
the land in 1931. Any structure 75 years or older cannot be
torn down or have its outside modied in any way unless per-
mission is granted. Savannahs downtown is one of the largest
National Historic Landmark districts in the United States. In
the 30s and 40s, many of the citys distinguished buildings
were demolished to make way for new developments until
seven women put a stop to it. Reconstruction of antique
homes to keep them stable is ongoing. Modern buildings are
not allowed in the historic district. The exceptions are an art
museum and a Hyatt, a battle preservationists lost. Many of
the diehards refuse to set foot in the hotel, although it does
seem to be popular with tourists.
Many of the beautiful homes were also destroyed during
and after the Civil War. As the South was losing and slavery
became obsolete, the plantation owners and other gentry had
no one to do the work for them (these early homes had no
water, electricity or plumbing). There was no one to work the
rice elds or pick the cotton. So owners abandoned their
homesteads and ed. Only freed slaves were left without a
source of income. Many buildings were abandoned and fell
into disrepair. Others were turned into tenements. An earth-
quake in Charleston in 1886 also caused severe damage.
As the South gradually returned to prosperity, a movement
grew to preserve its history. Tourist dollars are now a major
source of income to both Georgia and South Carolina.
Docents are everywhere to guide one through the elegant old
homes.
***
Savannah is a park lovers delight. The city was founded in
1773 and was the rst planned city thanks to English General
James Oglethorpe who conceived of a series of wards built
around central squares. Lots for private homes were on one
side; public buildings and churches on the other. The squares
are large symmetrical parks, lled with Spanish moss laden
live oaks, plenty of benches and a statute or two of the
famous gure which bears the parks name. Savannahs
squares make it one of the most picturesque and walkable
cities.
***
Savannah made its wealth from cotton, courtesy of slave
help. Charleston from rice, again courtesy of slave help. At
one time, Charleston was the richest city in the colonies
because of the rice trade. It was also the site of the rst seces-
sion movement. South Carolina was the rst state to secede
from the union. The war started with shots red at Fort
Sumter which the federal government had built to protect
Charleston harbor.
***
The few plantations left have been turned into historic sites
and visitor centers. After you explore one and take in the vast
acreage of lawns and formal gardens and visit the home
where family members passed on their legacy from one gen-
eration to the next, you feel you are at Tara ( even though
Gone with the Wind was lmed in Hollywood) and under-
stand why the South was trying to preserve its genteel way of
life. But a visit to the old slave market in Charleston depicts
the ugly history behind it . Even this stain on the Souths his-
tory is preserved.

BUSINESS 10
By Bernard Condon
NEW YORK Are stocks worth buying
now?
With the Dow Jones industrial average
breaking through 15,000, its natural to worry
that stocks have gone up too far. But higher
priced stocks arent necessarily overpriced.
They may still be a good deal if corporate
earnings are rising fast, and you think that
trend is likely to continue.
A solid April jobs report on Friday is a sign
the economy is strengthening. That could lead
to higher prots. Whats more, many of the
traditional threats to bull markets rising
ination and interest rates, a possible reces-
sion dont seem likely soon.
That said, stocks are no bargain. Buy them
only if youre willing to ride the inevitable ups
and downs and hold on for a while.
A look at some forces that could push stocks
higher in the coming months:
HIGHER EARNINGS: Stock investors
cheered when employers added 165,000 jobs
in April and unemployment fell to a four-year
low. More people working means more money
owing into the economy. That could help
companies extend a remarkable streak of ever-
higher prots.
Companies in the Standard and Poors 500
index posted a record $102.83 earnings per
share last year, or 17 percent higher than in
2007, when stocks were last near this level
before the nancial crisis.
How do stock prices compare with those
earnings?
To answer that, experts look at whats called
price-earnings ratios, or P/Es. Low P/Es signal
that stocks are cheap relative to a companys
earnings; high ones signal they are expensive.
P/Es are calculated by dividing the price of
each share by annual earnings per share. So a
$100 stock of a company that earns $10 per
share trades at 10 times. The lower the P/E, the
cheaper the stock.
There are various P/Es. Some use past earn-
ings and other future earnings. They give a
mixed picture, but together suggest that stocks
are reasonably priced.
If you look at earnings from the past year,
the S&P 500 is trading at 15.6. That is slight-
ly lower, or cheaper, than the 17.2 average for
this P/E since World War II, according to S&P
Capital IQ.
Using forecast earnings for the next 12
months, you get a P/E of 14.2, the same as the
average over 10 years, according to FactSet, a
provider of nancial data.
Another measure shows stocks are some-
what expensive, however.
Some investors think you should look at
annual earnings averaged over 10 years
instead of just one year. This eliminates any
surge or fall due to changes in the business
cycle. Dividing stock prices by a 10-year aver-
age of earnings yields a P/E of 23 times. That
is higher, or more expensive, than the average
18.3 since WWII.
A word of warning: You shouldnt invest
just by looking at P/Es. They are more guide
than gospel. There have been long periods
when stocks traded at lower or higher P/Es
than the averages.
ECONOMIC EXPANSION: With
Fridays job report, the odds for continued
expansion got better. The economy has creat-
ed an average of 208,000 jobs a month from
November through April, above the 138,000
average for the previous six months.
The report follows news that the pace of
economic growth picked up in the rst three
months of this year, home prices rose at the
fastest pace in nearly seven years and
automakers had their highest sales for April
since the recession.
Tally it up, and nancial analysts see earn-
ings for the S&P 500 rising 12 percent in the
last three months of the year, a big jump from
an estimated 4.8 percent gain in the rst three
months.
Theres plenty of reason for caution, though.
For starters, analysts tend to overestimate
earnings several quarters in the future, and
may be doing that again. Early last year, they
expected a 13-percent jump in earnings in the
last three months of the year. They got 4 per-
cent instead.
And some experts believe Wall Street is
underestimating how much the sweeping fed-
eral spending cuts that kicked in March 1 are
going to slow the economy, as government
workers are furloughed and contractors lose
business. If theyre right, that could erode
earnings.
Investors also have to keep an eye overseas.
Half of revenues at big U.S. companies are
abroad and some key economies are slowing
or contracting. This can hit stocks hard, as
General Electric shows.
Last month, when GE reported a 17 percent
fall in revenue from Europe, its stock dropped
4 percent in a day. Many European countries
are mired in recession, and the outlook has
only gotten worse. Unemployment in the euro-
zone just rose to an all-time high of 12.1 per-
cent.
China has put investors on edge, too. On
April 15, news that it grew more slowly than
expected in the rst three month of this year
helped push the Dow down 266 points, the
biggest drop for the year.
Nervous yet?
One thing to keep in mind is that big, sus-
tained drops in stocks ones that end bull
markets are most often caused by U.S.
recessions, and that doesnt appear likely
soon.
Four of the past ve bull markets ended as
investors dumped stocks before the start of a
recession. They sold stocks two months before
the start of the Great Recession in December
2007 and a year before the March 2001 reces-
sion.
The U.S. economy has grown between 1 and
2.5 percent in the past three years. Thats piti-
ful compared with the long-term average of 3
percent. Still, its growth.
LOW INTEREST RATES: If recessions
cause stocks to plummet, what causes reces-
sions? In most cases its the Federal Reserve
raising short-term interest rates because it
fears high ination from an overheated econo-
my. Fed hikes were the trigger for three of the
past four recessions.
But today, the greater fear is too little
inflation, not too much. The Feds preferred
measure of inflation rose only 1 percent in
the year through March. The Feds target is 2
percent.
Whats more, the Fed has said it would keep
key short-term rates nearly zero until unem-
ployment falls to at least 6.5 percent. It is 7.5
percent now.
As the Dow breaks 15,000, is it too late to buy?

NYC cigarette tax ght hampered by low nes
NEW YORK High taxes have emerged as the No. 1 weapon
in the war on smoking. The more cigarettes cost, research has
shown, the fewer people buy them. That is one of the reasons six
states are considering proposals to hike tobacco taxes.
But the effectiveness of that strategy is being undercut in the
home of the nations highest tobacco taxes New York City
by light penalties for merchants caught selling cheap cigarettes
smuggled in from low-tax states. Of the 1,105 licensed tobacco
retailers inspected last year, 586 had cigarettes in their invento-
ries that had been purchased on the black market.
On the move
Business brief
WASHINGTON A stronger-
than-expected April rebound in job
creation and recent dramatic discov-
eries of vast U.S. oil and gas reserves
are helping to lift the American econ-
omy out its long funk.
The economic good news is also
drawing attention to the importance
of private-sector innovation rather
than government policy in fostering
growth.
The Labor Departments report that
payrolls expanded by 165,000 jobs
last month and the unemployment
rate declined to a four-year low of 7.5
percent does not represent explosive
job growth by any measure.
Yet the report offered a big sigh of
relief to President Barack Obama
and his Democratic allies in
Congress.
It also may help blunt Republican
criticism of Obamas policies and
make it easier for him to give more
attention to other issues on his agen-
da, including immigration, gun con-
trol and global warming.
At the same time, it provided the
GOP with more support for their call
for a smaller government and fewer
regulations on business.
The recent jobs improvements were
mostly driven by private-sector gains
independent of action by the president
and Congress.
Most legislative scal stimulus pro-
grams, begun in 2008 under President
George W. Bush and expanded under
Obama, have run their course. The
Federal Reserve, however, continues
to stimulate the economy by holding
down interest rates and effectively
printing money to buy government
and mortgage-related bonds.
In fact, the report showed employer
condence about the economic out-
look even in the face of new federal
budget cuts. Economists widely agree
that job gains would have been bigger
were it not for the automatic across-
the-board cuts that are beginning to
take an $85 billion bite out of govern-
ment spending.

Theyre the 12 point that mattered
the most and theyre the 12 points
the Burlingame High School boys
swim team feels lucky are theirs.
The race for the Peninsula
Athletic Leagues top prize the
team title was a neck-and-neck
affair Saturday between the
Panthers and Menlo-Atherton High
School. But by the end of event 46,
the 400-yard freestyle relay, it was
Burlingame who sat atop the podi-
um, besting the Bears 465 to 453.
M-A got its revenge though, as
the Bear girls beat out the Panthers
for the team title on the female side.
Both championships were an
exciting culmination of what was a
record-shattering day for PAL
swimmers. In all, eight meet records
were re-written.
The record-breaking began right
out of the chute in the 200-yard
girls medley relay. Nicole Zanolli,
Maddie Pont, Kindle Van Linge and
Brooke Stenstrom of Menlo-
Atherton broke the 2011 record set
by Burlingame with a 1:46.89
almost three seconds better than the
previous mark. The same relay team
would come back in the girls nal
event of the day the 400-free
and win going away as well.
Only a freshman, Stenstrom had
herself quite the PAL debut.
Following the relay win, she
claimed the title of Fastest in the
PAL with a record-breaking win in
the 50-yard freestyle in 23.54.
Her record-breaking day wasnt
over just yet. Stenstrom chased
down the PAL record in the 100-
yard freestyle with a 51.34.
Not to be outdone, Burlingames
Kawei Tan, Walker Pease, Joshua
Yeager and Eric Bakar took to the
pool immediately after M-A relay
win and took down another 2011
PAL record with a 1:38.21 in the
400 medley relay.
Tan then followed that relay with
another record-breaking perform-
ance in the 200-yard individual
medley. His 1:54.87 was six sec-
onds better than second place and it
took down a 27-year-old record. Tan
also won the 100-yard backstroke in
52.41.

Step one is complete.
On paper, any No. 1 versus 16 seed
matchup looks like a mismatch. As such,
the College of San Mateo softball team
went into the regional round of the
California Community College Athletic
Associations 2013 tournament the heavy
favorite against Feather River College.
And fortunately for the Bulldogs, they
played No. 1-seed softball in a 2-0 sweep
of the Golden Eagles. On Saturday, CSM
picked up a 12-4 mercy-rule win and on
Sunday, the Bulldogs jumped on Feather
River early and took the series on a 7-3
decision.
Playoffs are playoffs, said an admit-
tedly relieved Nicole Borg, head coach of
CSM. It doesnt matter who youre play-
ing. Feather River is a feisty hitting team.
You give them an inch and theyll take a
mile and they hit the ball hard quite a few
times this weekend. So yeah, there was
denitely some nerves, I dont care what
the scoreboard said.
The scoreboard favored the Bulldogs at
every turn during the series. But like Borg
said, Feather River could handle the bat
very well. The Golden Eagles came into
the game with a handful of players hitting
over .400 on the year, and as a team hit
.386 during the regular season.
I didnt feel much momentum from
yesterday, Borg said, speaking of
Saturdays game where CSM put up a
four-spot in the rst inning behind Talisa
Fiames three-run bomb. I hoped for us
that we would get better defensively today.
Offensively, I think we did better yester-
day than today. So, that was a little frus-
trating. But, we still scored seven runs. I
think we played well.

TALLADEGA, Ala. A pair of
Davids slayed the Goliaths at
Talladega Superspeedway.
David Ragan hooked up with team-
mate David Gilliland in a two-lap
overtime sprint, and together they
picked off some of the top drivers in
NASCAR to drive to the front and
push Ragan into Victory Lane.
It was the second career victory for
Ragan he also won at Daytona in
July 2011 and Gilliland nished
second for a 1-2 nish for Front Row
Motorsports.
I had a great teammate. David
Gilliland gave us a great push. I owe
him a lot, Ragan
said. Ill de-
nitely buy him
lunch this week
or something.
The victory
came a day after
Regan Smith
won the
Na t i o n wi d e
Series race and
Ragan was ooded with misred con-
gratulatory messages on Twitter.
All fans- please send all congrats
to (at)ReganSmith. Not this Ragan.....
He is the Winner today!! Haha, he
tweeted Saturday night.
Now Ragan has his own win just
in time to qualify for the Sprint All-
Star race in two weeks.
Gilliland wanted the win but was
content settling for second on a day
his team earned its rst career victory.
What a great day for Front Row
Motorsports, an underfunded team
coming in here and being able to n-
ish 1-2 is awesome, Gilliland said.
Im very proud of David Ragan. I
know he would have done the same
for me. I had a heck of a run, we
were pushing, I was locked to his
bumper and I wasnt going to let him
go.
The race took seven hours to com-
plete after rain stopped it for 3 hours,
36 minutes midway through the
event. With darkness quickly closing
in, contact between Ricky Stenhouse
Jr. and J.J. Yeley triggered a frighten-
ing crash that sent Kurt Buschs car
airborne and on top of Ryan
Newmans car.
Newman has been in numerous
harrowing accidents at Daytona and
Talladega, where NASCAR uses
restrictor-plates to control the
speeds, and was sharp with his criti-
cism after exiting the ineld care
center. He said he only stopped to do
a live television interview to criticize
cars still being able to go airborne.
They can build safer race cars,
they can build safer walls. But they
cant get their heads out of their
(expletive) far enough to keep them
on the race track, and thats pretty
disappointing, Newman said. I
wanted to make sure I get that point
across. Yall can gure out who
they is.
He also was upset NASCAR con-
tinued the race with darkness closing
in on the track so quickly.
Thats no way to end a race, he
said. Thats just poor judgment in
restarting the race, poor judgment. I
mean, you got what you wanted, but
poor judgment and running in the
dark and running in the rain. Thats
it, thank you.
NASCAR sent the race into over-
time after the nal accident for one
attempt at a green-white-checkered
nish, and it seemed as though it
might have been Matt Kenseths race
to win.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
All eyes have been on Kris Bryant
this season, as the University of San
Diego slugger has been on a torrid
pace to lead the nation in home runs.
USDs three-game series at St.
Marys over the weekend was no dif-
ferent. Bryant continued showing
why he gures to be one of the top
draft picks in the nation in next
months Major League Baseball draft,
as the junior third baseman launched
his 23rd home run of the season
Saturday at Louis Guisto Field.
Before Bryant even got to swing
the bat in the series though, Toreros
outelder Lucas Hagberg stole a lit-
tle of the thunder. The former Mills
High School and Skyline College
star quickly made his homecoming
one to remember, as the senior led
off the series by drilling the rst
home run of his Division-I career.
I was like nally, it came,
Hagberg said. It was a fastball low-
in, and I just took it too left eld. So
yeah, that felt good.
Hagbergs ups and downs
It was a grind for Hagberg to
crack the lineup as a D-I regular.
After already having missed the
2008 at Skyline with a wrist injury,
the fleet-footed outfielder was
forced to miss his rst transfer sea-
son at USD in 2011 with a broken
ankle.
Hagberg suffered the latter injury
during an intrasquad game while
sliding into third base. He caught a
spike on Bryants foot and heard an
ominous pop. It was a long road
back with its ups and downs for
Hagberg. He went 19 for 57 (.333)
upon his return to the Toreros lineup
last season. However, this season he
has scufed at the plate, hitting just
.182 after going 3 for 12 over the
weekend.
The always upbeat Hagberg has a
beat on the silver lining though. Not
only did he get to witness the open-
ing of USDs new 3,000-capacity
baseball complex Fowler Park this
season. The additional year also
allowed him to enjoy what will like-
ly be the entire collegiate career of
Bryant, who by all accounts gures
to have a spectacular pro baseball
career ahead of him.
Everything happens for a rea-
son, Hagberg said. I feel blessed
to play in the new stadium and to be
a part of this team, and to see some
of these guys rise. Im not down
about [the ankle injury]. Im happy
to still be playing. It gave me anoth-
er year at college, and Im happy
with everything.
Despite his struggles at the plate,
Hagberg has settled in nicely at the
top of the USD batting order as of
late. In the Toreros three-game
sweep at Santa Clara last month,
Hagberg hit in each of the top three
spots in the lineup going 3 for 13
with two RBIs and four runs scored.
And as the senior winds down his
collegiate career, he is revered as a
guy who would leave it all on the
eld day-in and day-out.
Weve always wanted him to be
the guy, USD manager Rich Hill
said. And if youre a player, its
nice that the coaches have that faith
in you, because he can do so many
things. He can steal a base, he can
bunt, hes got a little pop he hits
the ball to all elds. So hes a guy
that you want to keep in there. But
hes gone through his struggles like
all these young people do.
Bryant tops in nation
It would seem Bryant is impervi-
ous to those struggles. In three years
at USD, the third baseman has done
nothing but hit. As a freshman in
2011, he captured the West Coast
Conference batting crown with a
.365 batting average. He backed that
up last year by hitting .366 as a
sophomore while pacing the WCC
with 14 home runs.
This year, Bryant set USDs all-
time single-season record April 20
at Santa Clara with his 19th home
run of the season. He now has 23,
leading the nation by a healthy mar-
gin. Elon University junior Ryan
Kinsella is second with 17 homers.
A lot of people just notice the
power, but I feel like Im a very
accomplished hitter in my three
years here, Bryant said. Ive real-
ly showed the people that are scout-
ing me that I can hit, not just for
power. And I can play defense, I can
run. But the power is there. Thats
all they focus on. But I want to show
them the other areas of my game.
Perhaps what makes Bryant so
unique is that his freshman year
coincided with the introduction of
BBCOR bats into amateur baseball.
It seemed that if the leap to the col-
lege ranks didnt slow down the Las
Vegas native, the start of the dead-
bat era would. But the 6-5 slugger
kept doing what hes always done
hit.
It was obviously different,
Bryant said. But it was a lot like
wood bats, and Ive swung wooden
bats my whole life. So it wasnt too
much of a change for me.
Recently named to the midseason
Golden Spikes Award watch list
which translates to his being nomi-
nated for the NCAA Baseball play-
er of the year Bryants legacy as
a collegiate legend has been solidi-
ed.
Hes right up there top-10 of all
time, Hill said. All those other
guys that broke all those records
were using those nuclear bats. And
if he was using that hed have the
same numbers as [single-season
home-run king Pete Incavilia, who
hit 48 homers for Oklahoma State in
1985] with crazy numbers.
Sure to be the rst of at least
seven USD players to be drafted
next month, Bryant gures to soon
begin etching his professional lega-
cy.
He came here the rst year I got
here, and its been fun just to see
him grow as a hitter, Hagberg said.
But just off the eld too, hes a
great person. Hes just a very
humbled person. I dont know if a
lot of people know that. But hes
just a very good, genuine type of
person.
Hagberg goes yard in final homecoming with USD

Coast Conference individual mens champi-
ons Evan McDaniel, Anthony Capitulo and
Roman Skovronski plus the gold medal 4
x 100 meter relay team all qualied easily
for Saturdays NorCal nals.
McDaniel, the national community college
leader in the shot put, led the qualifying eld
by nearly three feet with his put of 55 feet, 7
1/2 inches. He was also the No. 4 hammer
throw qualier (168-5) and made the nals in
the discus throw (145-10), along with team-
mate Collin Luu (155-11).
Capitulo was the No. 2 qualier in the
javelin throw (184-3) and will be joined in the
nals by teammate Scott Chisea (170-10).
Skovronski, the early season state leader in
the 400 meter hurdles, was far and away the
top qualier that race in 52.92 seconds. He
will be accompanied in Saturdays nals by
teammate Kevin Kutchera, the No. 6 qualier
in 55.65.
Moreen Pahulu made the NorCal nals in
all four womens throwing events.
She was the No. 3 qualier in the javelin
throw (111-9), was seventh in the shot put
(36-9), ninth in the hammer throw (132-6),
and 11th in the discus throw (114-11)
Breanna Navarre reached the 100-meter
nals in 12.24 and is the rst alternate in the
200-meters after running 25.19 into a head-
wind. Four of the qualiers had a legal aiding
wind in their heat. Section winners qualify
automatically, while the other nalists are
determined on time.
Both of CSM mens relay teams qualied.
The 4x100 meter team ran 41.95 to move up
to No. 3 on the Bulldogs all-time list. The
4x400 quartet ran 3:21.50.
Dijohn Williams tied for 12th in the mens
long jump at 21-10 3/4 to just squeeze into the
nals.
In the only mens championship race on the
meets rst day, Anthony Cortes nished
ninth in the 10,000 meters in 33:45.30. Cortes
will have another shot at making the state
nals this Saturday in the 5,000 meters, which
had no prelims.
The rst six placers in both the mens and
womens 10K races are the initial individual
event qualiers for the state meet at CSM.
Those nals will be run on Friday, May 17,
starting at 11 a.m.
The mens NorCal winner was Will Reyes
of American River in 32:01.87. The womens
champion was Victoria Alcala of Hartnell
(39:05.82).
COLLEGE BASEBALL
CSM FALLS IN FIRST ROUND
After picking up an emphatic 13-6 win on
Friday during Game 1 of the rst round in the
CCCAA baseball playoffs, CSM lost two
games on Saturday against Cabrillo College
and saw its season come to an abrupt end.
In Game 2, a ve-run second inning was the
catalyst in Cabrillos 8-5 win. They led that
game by as many as six runs.
In Game 3, CSM lead 5-1 by the halfway
point of the third inning. But a three-run third
gave Cabrillo the life it needed and come the
sixth they forged ahead 6-5.
The Bulldog offense did not score a run
after the third inning. CSM committed four
errors behind ve different pitchers.
After tallying 14 hits in Game 1, CSM com-
bined for that number in Game 2 and 3.
CSM ends its season with a 23-16 record.

James wins MVP, 1 vote
shy of unanimously
MIAMI LeBron James was at his best
this season, and the voters tasked with select-
ing the NBAs Most Valuable Player took
notice.Every voter except one, that is.
The NBA still does not have a unanimous
MVP, though no one has come closer than
James did this season. The Miami Heat star
was presented with the Maurice Podoloff
Trophy for the fourth time in his career on
Sunday after collecting 120 of the 121 rst-
place votes, with Carmelo Anthony of the
New York Knicks picking up the lone remain-
ing top choice.
It was probably a writer out of New York
that didnt give me that vote, James said.
And we know the history between the Heat
and the Knicks, so I get it.
A panel of 120 sports writers and broad-
casters cast ballots in the NBA MVP voting,
with a combined online fan vote also being
taken into account. Shaquille ONeal got
every rst-place vote but one in the 1999-
2000 season, when one person cast his ballot
for Allen Iverson who nished seventh that
year. This season, Kevin Durant of the
Oklahoma City Thunder nished second, well
ahead of Anthony, who was third and didnt
even appear on nine of the ballots cast.
Just like Saturday, the Bulldogs shot right
out of the gate and put early offensive pres-
sure on the Golden Eagles.
Selina Rodriguez led the game off with a
signal and came around to score when Jamie
Navarro singled up the middle. After Navarro
stole second and Michelle Pilster moved her
over to third on a elders choice, Fiame
delivered an RBI single to make it 2-0.
Natalie Saucedo then followed with a knock
that plated Pilster and just like, CSM led 3-0.
The Bulldogs collected four hits and stole ve
bases in that opening frame.
I think we had to have a positive mentali-
ty, Fiame said of the teams focus heading
into Sundays Game 2. We had to keep each
other up and just try to stay focused. That was
the main thing. And keep a high intensity
going.
CSM tacked on another run in the second
when Rodriguez came around to score once
again after she had singled with one out down
the right eld line a throwing error and an
ineld single by Pilster brought Rodriguez
home.
Feather River drew a run back in the fourth
inning but got an immediate response by
Bulldogs once again, it was Fiame exing
her muscle to spark the offense. No. 25 dou-
bled to start the fth inning and three batters
later, she and Mikayla Conlin (who ran for
Aracely Osuna after she singled) came around
to score following a line drive single to left off
the bat of Kristin Petrini to make it 6-1.
Fiame wasnt done yet. In the sixth, No. 25
got every bit of a thigh-high fastball and sent
it on a rst-class ight over the left centereld
wall for a magnicent home run her sec-
ond of the regional round to make it 7-1.
A strike, Fiame said when asked what she
was looking for in that particular at-bat.
Because the previous at-bat I swung at some-
thing extremely high so I wanted something
waist high. A strike. I think we all knew we
needed to score more runs. We had just had to
have a better pitch selection and make adjust-
ments at the plate.
In the meantime, Pilster wasnt her
sharpest, but she was more than effective.
I think she nished, Borg said. I think
she had a few at-bats there where she didnt
hit the spots we wanted her to hit.
I felt good, Pilster said. I just needed to
refocus this week and try to keep my ball
down. If I keep my ball down, Im going to be
ne.
Pilster ran into some trouble in the latter
innings when she surrendered some hard-hit
balls. But while the Golden Eagles added a
pair of runs late in the game, the Bulldogs
were never in any real danger of losing what
was a six-run lead.
You have to play perfect at this point,
Borg said. You have to be right on point.
Everything we do from here on out has to be
perfect. That shouldnt make us nervous,
thats the way it has to be at this time of the
season. We all know we have a target on our
back when youre ranked No. 1 or 2 every-
body wants to beat you so you have to be on
point.

SAN JOSE Joe Pavelski and
Logan Couture each scored twice
to spoil Cory Schneiders return to
the nets for Vancouver and the San
Jose Sharks won their third straight
game to open the playoffs, beating
the Canucks 5-2 on Sunday night.
Pavelski scored the first two
goals and Couture and Patrick
Marleau added scores 9 seconds
apart to break the game open early
in the third period and give the
Sharks a 3-0 series lead.
Couture added a second power-
play goal early in the third to end
Schneiders night and give him a
playoff-best four points for the
game. Antti Niemi made 28 saves.
San Jose will attempt to complete
the first series sweep in franchise
history at home on Tuesday night.
Alex Burrows and Dan Hamhuis
scored for the Canucks, who have
lost nine of their past 10 playoff
games since taking a 3-2 series lead
over Boston in the Stanley Cup
finals two years ago. Vancouver
dropped the last two games of that
series, was eliminated in five
games in the first round a year ago
by Los Angeles and has now fallen
into a deep hole against the Sharks.
Even a change at goaltender
couldnt change the Canucks play-
off fortunes. Schneider, the starter
for most of the regular season,
replaced former starter Roberto
Luongo after missing the first two
games with an undisclosed injury.
Schneider didnt even finish the
night as he was replaced by
Luongo after allowing three goals
in the first 4:07 of the third period
to end Vancouvers hopes of a
comeback.
The scoring flurry to start the
third sent the sellout crowd at the
Shark Tank into a frenzy. The first
came on a power play when
Couture took a long breakout pass
from Matt Irwin and beat
Schneider from the top of the circle

Couture then won the ensuing
faceoff and Marleau skated into the
zone and beat Schneider between
the pads before the first celebration
had even died down to score for the
third straight game.
Couture added another power-

Thornton to give him three for the
series and give the Sharks three
goals in a span of 2:27.

San Jose Sharks Joe Pavelski is congratulated by teammates Patrick Mar-
leau, Joe Thornton (C) and Logan Couture after scoring on the Vancouver
Canucks during Game 3 of their NHL Western Conference quarter nal
hockey playoff game in San Jose Sunday.
OKLAHOMA CITY Derek
Fisher turned a tough situation for
the Oklahoma City Thunder into the
worst-case scenario for the
Grizzlies.
With the Thunder down by one in
the nal minute, Fisher poked the
ball away from Memphis Mike
Conley, springing three-time NBA
scoring champion Kevin Durant into
the open court with a chance to put
Oklahoma City on top.
Durant pulled up and connected
on a jumper with 11.1 seconds left
for the last of his 35 points, lifting
the Thunder to a 93-91 victory over
the Grizzlies on Sunday in Game 1
of the Western Conference semi-
nals.
I just wanted to get up the oor
as quick as possible and nd a shot,
said Durant, who nished second in
league MVP voting announced
Sunday. That was the only shot I
could nd and, by the grace of God,
it went in.
Game 2 is Tuesday night in
Oklahoma City.
Thabo Sefolosha kept the
Grizzlies from going back ahead,
deecting a pass that Conley was
able to corral but only after div-
ing out of bounds. Reggie Jackson
then hit a pair of free throws for a
three-point lead, and Quincy
Pondexter couldnt force overtime
after getting fouled while attempt-
ing a 3-pointer with 1.6 seconds left.
Pondexter, a 72 percent career
free-throw shooter, missed the rst
free throw. He made his second
attempt before intentionally missing
the third, but Durant swatted the
rebound away and Marc Gasols
attempt at a buzzer-beater was late.
We couldnt get stops. Thats
why we lost, said Gasol, who had
20 points and 10 rebounds. We did-
nt lose because of free throws.
Kevin Martin scored 25 for
Oklahoma City, which trailed for
much of the game but was able to
avoid repeating its Game 1 loss
from when these two teams met in
the West seminals two years ago.

SPORTS
Ryu for the second time this year.
Cain, who pitched six shutout innings against Los Angeles
on opening day, gave up one run and ve hits in 7 1-3 innings
and allowed only one runner past second base while ending
the longest winless drought of his career.
A.J. Ellis had two hits for the Dodgers.
The Giants won the rst two games of the series on game-
ending home runs but didnt need any late dramatics this time,
though the Dodgers made it close with three runs in the
eighth.
San Francisco took an early 2-0 lead off Ryu and made it
hold up behind Cain (1-2) and ve relievers.
Cain, who struck out four and walked three, had not won
since Sept. 26, 2012. He left to a standing ovation from the
AT&T Park crowd after issuing a one-out walk in the eighth.
Its also the rst win by any San Francisco starting pitcher
since April 21 an 11-game stretch.
Sergio Romo worked the ninth for his 12th save, tied for
most in the majors.
The Dodgers couldnt get out of AT&T Park fast enough.
They were the only visiting NL team with a winning record at
the Giants waterfront ballpark before the series but are now
60-60 since the stadium opened in 2000.
It didnt help that manager Don Mattingly had to scratch
rst baseman Adrian Gonzalez from the lineup with a sore
neck less than an hour before rst pitch. Gonzalez, who was
also scratched from the rst two games of the series, delivered
a pinch hit two-run single in the eighth before leaving for a
pinch runner.
Ryu (3-2) has been one of the most consistent pitchers for
Los Angeles except against San Francisco. He gave up 10 hits
and three runs while taking the loss in his majors debut on
April 2, then allowed eight hits and four runs over six innings
in the rematch.
The Giants opened with three straight singles off Ryu in the
rst but the Dodgers right-hander got out of it allowing only
one run. Scutaro scored on Pences elders choice grounder
after Buster Posey hit into a forceout at home. Ryu then
retired Francisco Peguero on a y ball to end the inning.

NEW YORK Grant Balfour was
angry.
He had just given up a broken-bat sin-
gle to Brett Gardner and thrown a wild
pitch to Robinson Cano, moving the
potential tying run to second base with
two outs in the ninth inning.
Oakland manager Bob Melvin called
for an intentional walk.
I dont make the decisions. He felt
that that was the decision to make.
Thats not really for me to answer on this
stuff, the Athletics closer said.
Up came Vernon Wells, 6 for 12 with
two homers and two doubles against
Balfour in his career.
Balfour fell behind 2-1 in the count,
got two foul balls, then got Wells to
swing over a 92 mph fastball, saving
Oaklands 5-4 win over the New York
Yankees on Sunday.
I guess I got lucky today facing Wells
then, with the history, Balfour said.
Andy Pettitte had his second straight
shaky outing for New York, allowing
Luke Montzs solo home in the fourth
his rst in 4 1-2 years and Yoenis
Cespedes two-run homer in the fth.
After the Yankees rallied in the sixth
against Jerry Blevins to tie the score 4-4,
Josh Donaldson homered into the left-
eld second deck in the eighth off Boone
Logan (2-2).
Balfour retired Chris Nelson on a line-
out to right and struck out pinch-hitter
Brennan Boesch before Gardners hit.
Cano, 4 for 12 against Balfour, took a
called strike before the reliever bounced
a curveball, which nicked the wrist of
catcher Derek Norris, temporarily creat-
ing some numbness.
Melvin didnt hesitate to call for the
walk.
Trust me, I know its 6 for 12 and two
homers sitting right behind him, he
said, but in this ballpark and the way
Cano is swinging, it was a better option
for me.
Balfour got his fth save and his 23rd
in a row in a streak that began on May 5
last year.
He would have rather ended the game
by retiring Cano, who leads the Yankees
with eight home runs.
I was red up. I want to face him. I
want to get him out, Balfour said. It
was a 1-1 count. I felt good about it.
Like I said, it was Bobs decision to
make.
Sean Doolittle (2-0) pitched a perfect
seventh, and Ryan Cook got out of a
two-on, one-out jam in the eighth by
striking out Jayson Nix and retiring Lyle
Overbay on a yout to deep center.
Oakland has won seven of its last 10
games against the Yankees.
Ive been through so many unnerving
ninths, either here or in the other ball-
park, that I know you literally have to
play 27 outs and three strikes on the last
out to get a win here, Melvin said.
New York, missing five regular
starters who are on the disabled list, lost
for just the third time on its 10-game
homestand.
We had chances in the eighth and the
ninth, Yankees manager Joe Girardi
said. I assumed we might get it done.

DATEBOOK 17
By David Germain
LOS ANGELES Iron Man
reigns as the standard-bearer of
Hollywood superheroes with a
$175.3 million domestic opening
weekend for his latest sequel and an
overseas haul of a half-billion dol-
lars in less than two weeks.
According to studio estimates
Sunday, Iron Man 3 has raced to a
worldwide total of $680.1 million.
That includes $175.9 million in its
second weekend overseas, where the
lm has rung up $504.8 million so far.
No other solo superhero not
even Batman or Spider-Man has
managed this kind of business.
Yet the future of Marvel Studios
agship franchise is in the hands of
a mortal man with no metal armor,
gadgets or special powers, other
than his ability to rebound from
Hollywood pariah to hottest star on
the planet.
Iron Man 3 hints that Robert
Downey Jr.s Tony Stark might hang
up his high-tech suits and live a nor-
mal life from now on. As the center-
piece behind not only the Iron
Man flicks but also Marvels
superhero ensemble The
Avengers, Downey seems crucial
to this comic-book world.
Could Disneys Marvel Studios
conjure anywhere near the same
magic if it relaunched Iron Man
with another actor? Without
Downey, would the upcoming
Avengers sequel have quite the
same appeal as last years record-
grossing rst installment?
Your guess is as good as mine,
said Dave Hollis, head of distribu-
tion for Disney. Marvel has found
a way to tell interesting stories with
a variety of characters over time,
and it will continue to do so.
Iron Man 3 had the second-
biggest domestic debut ever, behind
the $207.4 million start over the
same weekend last year for The
Avengers, which teamed Downeys
Stark with other Marvel Comics
heroes. The new sequel surpassed
the $169.2 million opening for
2011s Harry Potter nale, the
previous second-place debut.
In just nine days, the lm shot
past the $312 million international
total for Iron Man 2 in its entire
theatrical run.
Among the overseas totals so far:
$63.5 million in China, $42.6 mil-
lion in South Korea, $38.3 million
in Great Britain and $35.8 million
in Mexico.
Domestically, Iron Man 3 far
outpaced the franchises rst two
movies. Iron Man launched the
series with a $98.6 million domestic
debut in 2008, while 2010s Iron
Man 2 opened with $128.1 million.
The lm also opened higher than
last years Batman nale The Dark
Knight Rises ($160.9 million) and
the biggest of the Spider-Man
movies ($151.1 million for Spider-
Man 3).
If Downey doesnt sign on for
more, it would leave a gaping hole
in the expanding superhero universe
Marvel is taking to the big-screen.
Iron Man 3 a heroic hit
T
wo weeks ago, I wrote about
Scooby Doo and Great Danes. Sure,
it was a stretch and meant to be on
the lighter side. I made reference to the gen-
tle giants and characteristics common to
their breed. But, as one reader correctly
pointed out, dogs should be evaluated indi-
vidually. All Danes are not gentle giants,
just as all labs are not water-loving, chow-
hounds wholl chase a ball for hours and tol-
erate young children pulling their ears and
tails and not all Chihuahuas are ankle biters
(very few, actually!). While our staff under-
stands breeds and this knowledge helps us
daily, we look at dogs individually when
evaluating them for adoption, rescuing strays
and working with dogs in obedience classes
and consultations. And, we also caution chil-
dren about judging dogs based on breed
alone. We visit schools in areas where the
great majority of pit bulls kids see have not
been properly socialized and are unfriendly.
We explain that the breed has many wonder-
ful representatives, but they should proceed
with caution around all dogs they dont
know. Expecting all Danes to be gentle is a
mistake. Parents should never leave small
children unattended with any dog or allow
their kids to approach unknown dogs in pub-
lic; even the so-called friendly breeds can
be unpredictable. Breed, age, medical condi-
tion, training and socialization can all impact
a dogs behaviors. Because breed is the fac-
tor that jumps out to us, many people put
more stock in it. Of course, this can be dan-
gerous. The other factors are equally impor-
tant and can denitely impact the way an
animal acts, or reacts. All Collies wont act
like Lassie, all Jack Russell Terriers will not
have the same temperament as Eddie from
the Frasier television series and all
Chihuahuas will not be like the stars from
Beverly Hills Chihuahuas movies. Breed is
just one of many predictors of behavior.

By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Foster City has lost its largest sales
tax producer and about $1 million a
year in revenue at a time the city is
about to close its structural decit, an
unfortunate scenario, according to a
third-quarter nancial update the City
Council will hear this Monday.
The report does not say which com-
pany is relocating because of state law
but indicated the move of its sales ofce
out of Foster City started in October
and was expected to be complete by the
end of March.
The Daily Journal has learned, how-
ever, that the company in question is
Life Technologies Corporation, a glob-
al biotechnology tools company, locat-
ed at 850 Lincoln Centre Drive.
The company, formerly Applied
Biosystems, employs about 1,600 peo-
ple in Foster City and was just bought
by Thermo Fisher for $13.6 billion, the
company announced two weeks ago.
The move will affect Foster Citys
long-term nancial situation but the
city is still expected to end this scal
year with about $900,000 more in rev-
enue than originally expected.
Foster Citys revenue this past year
was about $31.2 million.
The quarterly nancial report also
highlights development activities that
are progressing earlier than anticipated,
which will bode well for future revenue
forecasts, according to the report.
Property taxes for the year are
exceeding projections by $469,000 and
hotel taxes are about $150,000 better
than expected, according to the report.
The loss of the largest sales tax gen-
erator will reduce the sales tax base by
nearly 25 percent which in turn impacts
the long-range forecast. The positive
revenue trends in the areas of property,
transient occupancy and franchise
taxes, combined with the ongoing
development of various commercial
and mixed-use properties in Foster
City, will still allow the city to achieve
a balanced budget for FY 2013-14
while it assesses the long-range impact
of the sales tax losses ... , the report
states.
The report also states that of the
$12.7 million the city lost when its
Redevelopment Agency was dissolved,
about $3.3 million was returned to the
city by the county Controllers Ofce
that the City Council pledged 100 per-
cent toward building affordable hous-
ing, only one of two agencies in the
county that took the same action,
including San Mateo.
The city also spent about $400,000
less this past year with department sav-
ings, including $200,000 the fire
department will save the city with its
shared services agreement with the San
Mateo Fire Department.
The Foster City Council meets 6:30
p.m., Monday, City Hall, 620 Foster
City Blvd., Foster City.

I had not been to the dentist in 20 years! For good reason,
they are scary! However, I nally bit the bullet and through a
friend found Dr Nanjapa. Wow... - Julie H.
He does a great teeth cleaning, is very attentive and not once
got impatient amid all my questions... - Vince E.

He asked if I could nd a factory that
could help make LED lights that were afford-
able, said Dylans mother, Lisa Sievers, who
previously worked for Cool Balls manufactur-
ing antenna balls. We found a factory in
China.
Bulldog Lighting debuted its products last
year, and Dylan decided to bring all produc-
tion stateside.
He was sitting in class hearing about peo-
ple losing their jobs, said Sievers. We decid-
ed we could make it here in the USA
The Sievers were hoping to label their prod-
uct as Made in the USA, and were disap-
pointed when they found out they could not
make that claim. Despite their best efforts to
produce the lights in the United States, there
were some materials in the lights that Sievers
said had to come from foreign countries.
Theres just some things in the United
States we dont make, she said. We dont
make LED here.
Bulldogs lights are about 90 percent made
in the United States, said Sievers.
I dont think its reasonable to say every-
thing can be made in the USA, she said.
The aluminum in the lights is from Texas,
and the screws are made in Ohio, she said.
[The product] is substantially transformed
using American workforce, she said. Dylan
said, if we do everything here, how come we
cant say Made in the USA?
The Sievers are considering moving to
Texas, where their products could be sold
with a Made in the USA label.
Proposed state legislation
The Sievers contacted state Sen. Jerry Hill,
D-San Mateo, who wrote legislation to
address the issue.
If you want to be competitive and keep
jobs in California, we need to do everything
we can, said Hill.
Hill has since introduced Senate Bill 661 to
update Californias labeling standard to
reect the realities of todays global economy.
SB 661 would reduce the Made in the
USA standard to allow for 90 percent of the
product to be made in the United States. In
this case, the manufacturer would have to
prove that the remaining 10 percent of pro-
duction was unavailable domestically.
This still gives us the integrity of the
claim, said Hill.
According to Hills ofce, the original stan-
dard in California was established in 1961 to
prevent foreign rms from taking advantage
of buy American promotions.
This standard is unrealistic in todays glob-
al economy where not all materials are avail-
able locally, said Hill.
He gave the example of Star Milling
Company in Perris, Calif., which produces
feed that is 99 percent made in the United
States. Just one vitamin in the feed is unavail-
able domestically, he said.
He hopes bringing California standards
closer more in line with federal standards will
allow companies within the state to remain
competitive.
The nal transformation has to be done
domestically, said Hill of his bills require-
ments. Were meeting every standard that
can be made.
False advertising?
Some consumer advocates are opposed to
changing Californias labeling standard
because they say it would be false advertising.
This is a truth in labeling issue, said
Richard Holober, executive director of
Consumer Federation of California. We do
not support changing the current standard. If
something is 90 percent made in the U.S., it
should say 90 percent made in the U.S.
Aside from a few sectors such as the auto-
mobile industry, there is no
legal requirement for compa-
nies to disclose the origins of
its products. Labeling should
not be such a big issue
because it is a choice, said
Holober.
Changing Californias stan-
dard would hurt companies
who are 100 percent
American-made, he said.
If there is a union compa-
ny that pays better wages and
is 100 percent [Made in
USA.], theyll say, wait a
second, why shouldnt be
able to gain a tiny edge
here? he said.
Some unions are also com-
ing out against the bill.
If youre going to advertise your product
as Made in the U.S., then it should be
made in the U.S., said Shane Gusman, who
represents the Teamsters Union and the
Machinists Union. Why would we want to
loosen the standard so that Company X can
import 10 percent of its components from
somewhere?
The whole idea behind the label is to get
consumers who want to be patriotic to buy
that product, said Gusman. Taking away
Californias high standard would reduce the
demand for domestic manufacturing jobs, he
said.
Lisa Sievers will be testifying in before
the Senate Judiciary Committee on SB 661
on Tuesday.

SALLY SCHILLING/DAILY JOURNAL
Dylan Sievers,right,and Lisa Sievers,third from right,with the
Bulldog Lighting company.They want California to lower the
standard for products being labeled as Made in USAso they
can label their truck lights which are 90 percent made in
the United States as such.
