96 YEMENI SOLDIERS KILLED IN SUICIDE BOMBING

The same Redwood City Costco that drew
public concern several years ago with plans to
add a gas station to its renovated Middleeld
Road location is now seeking to expand the
fueling area to 20 pumps.
Costco said the last few years have proven
that 12 pumps are just not enough which cre-
ates long wait times and poor vehicle circula-
tion and leaves cars waiting in line to fuel up
blocking parking spaces, according to the
planning staff report.
The company proposes adding eight more
pumps for a total of 20 spaced among ve
islands. The additions would also require
changes to the landscaping and circulation.
On Tuesday night, the Redwood City
Planning Commission will hold a study ses-
sion on the expansion plan but wont make
any decisions until much later in the process
after the environmental review is nished.
Tonights meeting is just for preliminary feed-
back on the proposed scope and design for the
2300 Middleeld Road site.
Costco originally wanted a 16-pump gas
station when it rst suggested in spring 2005
demolishing the existing warehouse to build a
larger store, tire sales/installation center and
parking lot. In June 2007, after environmental
impact reports on two possibilities identied
signicant although mitigated impacts, the
Planning Commission certied the 16-pump
option. However, the citys zoning adminis-
trator approved the second smaller option
with 12 pumps.

Bringing rival gangmembers from
other cities to the campus of San Mateo
High School will likely create violent
conicts and hostility if a proposal to
relocate a continuation school to the site
succeeds, according to a report by the
San Mateo Police Department.
Last night, Police Chief Susan
Manheimer spelled out the departments
concerns related to the San Mateo Union
High School Districts effort to nd a
new home for Peninsula High School
a continuation school for students at risk
of not graduating which is currently
housed at aging facilities on the campus
of the former Crestmoor High School in
San Bruno.
As many as 39 percent of Peninsula
students have documented criminal
behavior and another 20 percent have
known street-gang affiliations,
Manheimer said at a special City
Council study session last night.
The districts Superintendent Scott
Laurence made a presentation to a
packed council chambers last night that
highlighted the pros and cons of relocat-
ing the school to the San Mateo High
School campus.
Peninsula has 362 students currently,
with about 58 percent of them residing
in San Mateo, Laurence said.
The district is weighing whether to
buy land for the school, rebuild on the
Crestmoor site or relocate the school to
any of the districts high schools.
Moving Peninsula to the San Mateo
High School property will be less costly
and centrally located for its students,
who reside throughout the district but
mostly in San Mateo, Laurence said.
The idea has already been met with
opposition as the San Mateo High Parent
Teacher Organization has penned an
online petition opposing the idea with
762 signatures so far.
It also found opposition in a united
City Council last night as all ve mem-
bers made formal declarations that they
oppose the move.
But the council has no authority over
the district, meaning the district can
house Peninsula at any of its six com-
prehensive high school campuses,
including Hillsdale in San Mateo, or

Police: Moving continuation school to San Mateo High School campus problematic

yes when Nolan James Jr. popped the

for all 13.1 miles of the race made him

Tim McGraw looks to rev
up career with Big Machine
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Tim McGraw
has chosen a new record label run by an
old friend.
The country music superstar has signed
a multi-album deal with Scott Borchettas
Big Machine Records, ofcially ending
his acrimonious relationship with his
only previous label, Curb Records.
McGraw made the
a n n o u n c e me n t
Monday at the
Country Music Hall
of Fame and
Museum. Its the
start of the second
phase of one of
country musics
most successful
careers, and
McGraw hopes he
can regain some of the momentum he lost
while ghting to end his lifetime con-
tract with Curb Records. Though the two
sides remain locked in a legal dispute, a
judge last year freed McGraw to begin
recording for a new label.
McGraw said in an earlier interview
with The Associated Press that he and
Borchetta sealed the deal May 9 at the
Greyhound bus station in Nashville,
marking the anniversary of McGraws
arrival in Music City with a guitar in one
hand and a suitcase in the other.
So 23 years after I arrived to town, Im
sort of in the kickoff phase of my new
career, McGraw said.
McGraw enters that second phase as
one of country musics leading men. The
heartthrob in the black hat, the 45-year-
old has reigned on the charts and in
album sales for years and remains a force
in the genre despite what he considered
shenanigans by his longtime record label.
He accused Curb of trying to prolong the
length of his contract by releasing a string
of greatest hits packages that frustrated
fans and artist alike.

Melissa Diazs time on the soccer eld was
cut short junior year when she tore her ACL.
The knee injury sidelined her in terms of
running but opened up her schedule to explore
politics and social issues. What could have
been a devastating injury turned into an
opportunity for the 17-year-old Hillsdale High
School senior. Diaz took the time as a gift that
allowed her to explore other interests. Now,
shes planning to study either international
relations or anthropology at Stanford
University in the fall. If she got her way, Diaz
would nd a way to combine the two.
Melissa is a motivated, condent young
woman who, although being faced with many
obstacles, has managed to attack them head-
on and continue successfully ahead.
Extremely well-rounded, she participates in
numerous community service projects, school
clubs and still nds time for academics. One
of Hillsdales Class of 2012 valedictorians,
Melissa plans to attend Stanford University in
the fall, Principal Jeff Gilbert wrote of Diaz.
Diaz grew up in San Mateo as a quiet but
observant girl with a little sister close to her
age. They attended Fiesta Gardens
Elementary School because her parents, both
of whom emigrated from Mexico, wanted the
girls to be bilingual. Diaz and her sister also
started taking part in Ballet Folklrico, a folk-
loric ballet ensemble, to explore her familys
culture.
Diaz also started playing soccer at 7. The
sport ended up being a t for Diaz who played
with the American Youth Soccer Organization
then started playing at club level. She contin-
ued playing soccer through her time at
Bayside. Once at Hillsdale, Melissa began
playing for the school. During her junior year,
she injured her knee. The injury came at an
inopportune time so Diaz waited a couple of
months to have the surgery. Recovery kept her
off the eld this year but Diaz remained
involved as the team manager. Diaz also
decided to take advantage of her newfound
free time.
During her senior year, Diaz interned for
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, and
joined the Hillsdale Effect, a school club that
raised money to fund micro-loans and busi-
ness development mentors for women in
Guatemala. Diaz will travel with a group of
students to Guatemala this summer to see how
the money is being put to use.
Getting involved in ways other than soccer
started before her injury.
Diaz is part of the Leo Club on campus, a
service organization linked to the Foster City
Lions Club. She also joined the school news-

A South San Francisco man is facing assault and gun

ters boyfriend through a window he had

scheduled for a May 31 preliminary hear-
ing.

STATE GOVERNMENT
State Sen. Leland Yee, D-San
Francisco/San Mateo, introduced leg-
islation to close a loophole in
Californias gun laws.
According to Yees ofce, California
has some of strongest gun control laws
in the country, however gun manufac-
turers are getting around one the states
most important assault weapon laws. The loophole allows own-
ership of a semi-automatic weapon such as an AR-15 and
AK-47 that has a magazine which can be easily detached by
a small magnet or the tip of a bullet.
Magazines, or the storage areas that allow for repeat ring,
that can be removed by a normal push button in combination
with features such as a pistol grip and telescoping stock are
banned in California. The law essentially requires magazines to
be xed, or removed or replaced with the use of a tool, to slow
down the process of reloading, according to Yees ofce.
To get around the law, gun makers have created a new mech-
anism, or tool, that allows the magazine to be easily removed
by the tip of a bullet or in some cases by just putting a small
magnet over the bullet button, basically recreating a normal
push button and allowing magazines to be changed within sec-
onds, according to Yees ofce.
CITY GOVERNMENT
The Belmont City Council will consider its scal year
2012-13 budget at its meeting tonight. General fund expendi-

$9.5 million of that committed to public safety. The council
will hear general fund balance trends and review department
budgets. The meeting is 7:30 p.m., tonight, City Hall, 1 Twin

On Tuesday, the San Bruno City Council will consider-
ing authorizing writing of a letter to Caltrain opposing addi-
tional rail tracks be added after the completion of the grade sep-
aration project.
At the same meeting, the council will receive the results from
a questionnaire given to the Crestmoor neighborhood about
decommissioning gasline 132. Three potential options were
given: full removal of the pipeline, lling the entire pipeline
with cement or a hybrid of both. The public overwhelmingly
favored lling the pipe with cement. Pacic Gas and Electric
will cover the cost of decommissioning the line. The survey
results will be given to the company to consider as it moves for-
ward.
Lastly, the council will consider joining a countywide effort
to ban single-use plastic bags.
The council meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 22 at the Senior

Senate approves
regulations for self-driving car
SACRAMENTO State lawmakers are
anticipating the day when self-driving vehicles
navigate Californias roads guided by radar and
GPS systems instead of human hands on the
steering wheel.
The state Senate approved a bill Monday that
would establish safety and performance stan-
dards for what are known as autonomous
vehicles.
SB1298 by Sen. Alex Padilla also would
allow the self-guiding vehicles on streets and
highways, as long as a licensed driver is aboard.
The bill passed 37-0 and goes to the Assembly.
Padilla, a Democrat from Los Angeles, says
the vehicles can reduce accidents caused by
human error.
Nevada and Florida have enacted similar
laws. Padillas ofce says bills also are pending
in Arizona, Hawaii and Oklahoma.
Bill helps gay vets
affected by Dont Ask policy
SACRAMENTO Californians discharged
from the military for being gay would have a
better chance of recouping veterans benets
under a law approved by the Assembly.
AB1505 is a response to the recent repeal of
a 1993 federal law that allowed gays to serve as
long as they kept their sexual orientation pri-
vate.
It states that if the federal government rein-
states benets for soldiers discharged under that
law, California will do the same. The bill also
would help veterans who received dishonorable
discharges because of their sexual orientation
clear their records.
The bill passed 45-5 Monday and moves to
the Senate.
Democratic Assemblyman Richard Pan of
Sacramento said he wrote the bill because all
people who dedicated their lives to the country
deserve benets, including medical care.
Safeway picketed
after hero clerk suspended
DEL REY OAKS The Safeway supermar-
ket chain is defending its decision to suspend a
meat clerk at one of its Monterey County stores
after he struck a man who had been kicking his
pregnant girlfriend.
The Monterey Herald reports that customers
angered by Safeways actions on Sunday pick-
eted the store in Del Rey Oaks where employee
Ryan Young stepped between the couple on
April 21.
Ryan is a hero, Jennie Tezak of Monterey,
who learned about Youngs suspension on
Facebook, told the Herald. Domestic violence
is uncalled for, deplorable. What Ryan did was
heroic. Is Safeway really safe? Not without
Ryan Young.

magine growing up as an orphan with no
photos of your youth: no family albums,
no favorite places to remember, not even
a picture of yourself. This was the situation an
orphaned aid worker related to student volun-
teer Ben Schumaker when they looked after
Guatemalan children together one summer.
Schumaker, who liked creating portraits
himself, came up with the idea of asking tal-
ented art students in the United States to paint
portraits of children who were living in dif-
cult circumstances, so that the orphans would
have a memento of their early years. Building
on the concept of his Guatemalan colleague,
Schumaker contacted orphanages overseas
and art teachers in the United States and thus
began the Memory Project in 2004. To date,
he has provided 25,000 portraits for orphans,
but hopes to expand that number many
times over.
For the past three years, Mercy High
School honors art 3 students have completed
portraits for the Memory Project. This year,
students created portraits for children in an
orphanage in Ecuador. The goal of the project
is to inspire caring, global friendship, and a
positive sense of self. For more information

The San Mateo-Foster City School
District recently announced that two teams of
students representing Bowditch Middle
School recently won highest honors in the
WordMasters Challenge a national lan-
guage arts competition entered by approxi-
mately 220,000 students annually, which con-
sists of three separate meets held at intervals
during the school year.
Coached by Bowditch Middle School teach-
ers Maggie Markham, Debbie Freesmeier,
Lisa Bravo and Amelia Hollingsworth, the
schools sixth graders tied for second place in
the nation in this years rst meet, held in
December, among 403 school teams compet-
ing in the difcult Blue Division Challenge.
At the same time, the schools seventh
graders, coached by Tyler Webb, placed fth
in the nation among 294 competing teams.
The WordMasters Challenge is an exercise
in critical thinking that rst encourages stu-
dents to become familiar with a set of inter-
esting new words (considerably harder than
grade level), and then challenges them to use
those words to complete analogies expressing
various kinds of logical relationships.
Working to solve the challenge analogies
helps students learn to think both analytically
and metaphorically.
The students will participate in two more
meets during the coming months, and medals
and certicates will be awarded in June to
those who achieve and/or improve the most in
the course of the year.

learned the value of hard
work from his father, a
sanitation worker, who
has endured many trials,
misfortunes and difficult
conditions.
Ruvalcaba, a student at
Eastside College Prep,
was chosen by a group of
ve judges to represent the
local Boys & Girls Club as
the competition advances to northern
California, and later to the national level.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A Redwood City transient
accused of beating and trying to
sexually assault a young woman
staying at a motel to study for nals
will stand trial next month on sever-
al felony charges that could send
him to prison for life.
Maurice Banks, 46, has pleaded
not guilty to assault with the intent
to sexually assault, causing great
bodily injury, assault, attempted
oral copulation, rst-degree burgla-
ry, indecent exposure and mali-
ciously dissuading a witness. Banks
appeared in
court yesterday
but simply con-
rmed his June
18 jury trial
date.
Banks prose-
cution was pre-
viously put on
hold while two
doctors evaluat-
ed his ability to aid in his own
defense but was put back on track in
April when a judge found him com-
petent.
Ofcers arrested Banks Dec. 4,
2010 after responding to reports of a
woman screaming for help at the
Garden Motel at 1690 Broadway in
Redwood City. The woman told
police she was using the motel as a
quiet studying venue.
At approximately 4 a.m., she told
police she heard prying noises at the
window opposite the front door and
got up to run from the room. While
fumbling with the lock and chain, a
man she later identied as Banks
entered the window, grabbed her
and threw her on the bed.
The suspect punched her several
times in the face and strangled her
into unconsciousness. When she
awoke, her pants were pulled down
to her knees and the suspect was
standing over her demanding oral
sex. The woman said she consented
but ran from the room after he
turned his head. Police found
Banks three to four hours later at
the motel.
The woman was hospitalized for
her injuries, which included frac-
tured eye orbital bones and sinus
fractures requiring surgery, accord-
ing to prosecutors.
Banks remains in custody in lieu
of $250,000 bail.

was at his New Hampshire vacation
home on a summer night in 2006
when 26 tons of concrete ceiling
panels in one of Bostons Big Dig
highway tunnels collapsed. The
debris crushed a car and killed a
female passenger.
Romney, then in his nal year as
Massachusetts governor, dashed
back to Boston and immersed him-
self in the crisis.
His response offers insights into
what kind of leader the expected
Republican nominee would be if
elected president. Romney has
made his management skills a major
selling point in his campaign.
Yet Romneys stiffest leadership
test as governor produced mixed
results.
He was praised, even by some
Democrats, for his energetic, take-
charge management style.

Ignazio Porcedda
Ignazio Porcedda, born Nov. 16, 1952, died peacefully in
his sleep May 14, 2012 after a long battle with A.L.S.
He was the husband to Lynn and ador-
ing Papa to Matteo. Originally from the
island of Sardinia in Italy, Ignazio
brought with him a wealth of tradition
and culture from his homeland. He was a
man that was able to enjoy the more sim-
ple things in life. He loved to cook, often
creating his own twists on traditional
Italian recipes. He was known in the fam-
ily for his delicious, made-from-scratch
breads, pizzas and soups. He also enjoyed tending to his veg-
etable garden, where he grew fava beans (one of his
favorites), tomatoes and much more. In his free time, when
he wasnt in the kitchen or in the garden, Ignazio loved to
take day trips with his family and walk around the Bay Area
and its surroundings. He retired as a police officer in Italy.
He used this experience to start another career as a security
guard in the United States. He will always be remembered as
a man that was as devoted to his family as much as he was
devoted to his work.

NEW YORK If youre ying
this summer, be prepared to kiss
your family goodbye at the gate.
Even if theyre on the same plane.
Airlines are reserving a growing
number of window and aisle seats
for passengers willing to pay extra.
Thats helping to boost revenue but
also making it harder for friends and
family members who dont pay this
fee to sit next to each other. At the
peak of the summer travel season, it
might be nearly impossible.
Buying tickets two or more
months in advance makes things a
little easier. But passengers are
increasingly nding that the only
way to sit next to a spouse, child or
friend is to shell out $25 or more,
each way.
With base fares on the rise the
average roundtrip ticket this sum-
mer is forecast by Kayak.com to be
$431, or 3 percent higher than last
year some families are reluctant
to cough up more money.
Who wants to y like this? says
Khampha Bouaphanh, a photogra-
pher from Fort Worth, Texas. It
gets more ridiculous every year.
Bouaphanh balked at paying an
extra $114 roundtrip in fees to
reserve three adjacent seats for him,
his wife and their four-year-old
daughter on an upcoming trip to
Disney World. Im hoping that
when we can get to the counter, they
can accommodate us for free, he
says.
Airlines say their gate agents try
to help family members without
adjacent seats sit together, especial-
ly people ying with small children.
Yet there is no guarantee things will
work out.
Not everyone is complaining.
Frequent business travelers used
to get stuck with middle seats
even though their last-minute
fares were two or three times
higher than the average. Now, air-
lines are setting aside more win-
dow and aisle seats for their most
frequent fliers at no extra cost.
The customers that are more
loyal, who y more often, we want
to make sure they have the best trav-
el experience, says Eduardo
Marcos, American Airlines manag-
er of merchandising strategy.
For everybody else, choosing
seats on airline websites has become
more of a guessing game.
To travelers who havent earned
elite status in a frequent ier pro-
gram, ights often appear full even
though they are not. These casual
travelers end up paying extra for an
aisle or window seat believing they
have no other option.
But as ights get closer many of
the seats airlines had set aside for
those willing to pay a premium do
become available at no extra
cost.
Airlines are holding these seats
hostage, says George Hobica,
founder of travel site
AirfareWatchdog. The seat selec-
tion process isnt as fair as it used to
be.

LONG BEACH Applications
to California State University
jumped 5 percent for the fall 2012
semester, but admissions are
increasing only nominally as the
system faces continuing budget
cuts, the university said Monday.
CSU said in a statement that
funding constraints have forced the
23-campus system to admit just
1,163 more students despite the
increase in demand from 35,000
more applicants.
The CSU is caught between a
huge demand to attend our universi-
ties and a state that simply is not
providing adequate funding for
these students, Eric Forbes, assis-
tant vice chancellor, said. We are
facing a tipping point in terms of
promise of access that is at the heart
of the CSU mission.
For fall 2012, CSU received a
total of nearly 743,000 applications,
and admitted nearly 350,000 stu-
dents. Of that number, the universi-
ty expects about 106,000 students
to enroll 50,000 freshmen and
56,000 transfers, about 95 percent
of them California residents.
The number of rst-time fresh-
men applicants soared by 10 per-
cent as families are looking for
affordable higher education. The
number of transfer students, many
from community colleges, rose a
modest 1 percent.
Admissions are poised to drop
drastically next year.
CSU, which serves about 427,000
students, could lose $250 million in
state funding if voters do not
approve tax increases in November.
The university already plans to
close most enrollment for spring
2013, a move that will affect about
16,000 students, and is wait-listing
students for fall 2013 admission
until the funding picture clears after
the November election.

Officials Monterey trip
Editor,
Dear taxpayers, with all the hotels in
San Mateo County that could hold such
an event, and the revenue that stays
here, why do ofcials always go to
Monterey for the annual Progress
Seminar?
I would think that our county leaders
would support the businesses that they
represent. Having the event local would
also mean that more could attend at a
lower cost to the taxpayers, also saving
gas and much time traveling. Our local
hotel association and the Chamber of
Commerce should back such a move.

Protect against human greed
Editor,
It was in 1911 on May 15, according
to my trusty San Mateo Daily Journal,
that our Trustbuster in Chief
Theodore Roosevelt prevailed in the
Supreme Court and succeeded in break-
ing up Standard Oil as an unacceptable
monopoly.
Although President Wilson, a
Democrat, was in ofce at the time, it
was the Roosevelt administration that
had command of a very different
Republican Party, a party that in 1901
decided that corporations left to their
own devices would ultimately bring our
nation to ruin. He believed in regula-
tion of big business and many pro-
gressive tendencies that were to
become much more fashionable in
years to come and under a different
political party.
Fast forward to the Jamie Dimons of
today who still represent the Greed is
Good philosophy although they talk
the talk of needing to have the govern-
ment protect them from themselves. Its
we, the 99 percent, who have to remain
active to protect against that natural
force of nature, human greed.

Too good to be true
Editor,
Whenever I hear about something too
good to be true, it usually turns out to
be not so true and not so good (in
response to the story, Peninsula Health
Care District supports help for frail eld-
erly, underserved in the April 28 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal).
Although the idea of the elderly and
underserved receiving much-needed
services such as dental care and hous-
ing is quite appetizing, the reality of
the matter (which was not even men-
tioned in this article) is that there are
many hoops to jump through and things
to consider before getting to that step.
Plus, no one is mentioning how this
program will be monitored and ensured
so that the goals (which are what?
goals are measurable; how many elder-
ly? how many underserved?) are met
appropriately. Who will be held respon-
sible when problems arise and things
dont quite turn out the way they
should? How will these new senior
housings affect the communities that
they will be built in? How far can $2
million go in continuos funding for
these programs? Because lets face it,
most of that money will be going to
operational administrative costs and not
to the people who would benet most
from it. Is this just another attempt for
ofcials to look good while they do
only the bare minimum for those in
most need? Whats the catch here?

T
he San Carlos City Council
met last Friday to discuss when
to schedule the election to ll
former mayor Andy Kleins seat, and
the process well use to make an inter-
im appointment. We are still dead-
locked, despite two compromise pro-
posals put forward by Mayor Matt
Grocott and I.
The idea I presented would call an
election for November 2012, but focus
the six-month interim appointment
process on experienced individuals who
could hit the ground running. I further
proposed we not ask appointment can-
didates to pledge not to run (i.e., any
appointee would be welcome to run in
the election this fall). I thought this
would address, at least in part,
Councilman Ron Collins and Vice
Mayor Bob Grassillis concerns over
experience level, candidate qualica-
tions and allowing candidates to serve
the city as they saw t. It isnt what I
believe we should do, but politics is the
art of compromise.
Grocotts idea went further. He pro-
posed not having an early election, and
instead just hold the regularly-sched-
uled November 2013 one. He only
asked that appointment candidates
pledge not to run in
November 2013.
This also addresses
the concerns I
thought we heard
from Collins and
Grassilli at our rst
meeting, while
avoiding bestowing
unearned incumben-
cy on someone. It is, I believe, what the
council opted to do in the spring of
2011 when they lled the seat of late
mayor Omar Ahmad.
When Grocott teed up his proposal I
thought to myself well, thats it; no
early election to give voters a chance to
choose their leaders. I fully expected
Collins or Grassilli or both to agree to
Grocotts idea.
You could have knocked me over
with a feather when they proceeded to
reject both compromise proposals.
What in the world is going on?
Im not sure. But Im growing con-
cerned theres a not-so-hidden agenda
here, and that Collins or Grassilli each
have a particular candidate in mind they
want to see appointed and also dont
want to have to seek validation from
voters until a signicant period of time
has passed. Or maybe its that they
dont want their candidate to have to
run in back-to-back elections.
I hope the rst concern is not whats
in play, because its fundamentally
undemocratic. While I understand the
second concern, it places the personal
interests of the appointee above the
rights of the community. Neither of
these are platform planks on which Id
ever want to face voters.
If there are candidates waiting in the
wings I would ask them, whoever they
are, to think about the message being
sent by the way this is rolling out. Do
you really want to rejoin the council on
a platform of my needs come before
your rights, San Carlos?
And if there arent, I hope either
Grassilli or Collins or both of them step
up and offer some compromise to break
the deadlock. Rejecting what Grocott
and I suggested is one thing. Trying to
shoot the moon and grab it all is anoth-
er. Sometimes that works but more
often it doesnt.
Mark Olbert is a member of the San
Carlos City Council. The opinions here
are his own.
Avoiding deadlock
Hairy situation
I
ve got to check your ponytail, the airport security
screener said. The request or rather the firm
statement of intent was a little surprising if for
no other reason than my just-washed hair was actually
twisted into a bun.
What woman doesnt know the difference between a
ponytail and a bun? I
thought, although it didnt
matter if she called it a
chignon, a twist, a top
knot or even simply Bob.
The point was she felt the
need to follow up the
metal detector, the scan-
ning, the air blowing and
the visual test by checking
my hair for contraband.
Traveling though an air-
port now is always a fun
game of What New
Security Measures Will
Drive Me Batty Today?
Would it be a chastising for inadvertently leaving a lip
gloss in my purse? Do I need to fully turn on the Kindle
to prove the only thing sketchy about the device is its
collection of guilty pleasure reading? Can I accurately
guess how many other passengers ahead of me will wait
until the very last minute to unlace knee-high combat
boots and take off belts before hitting the metal detectors
or act surprised that the loose quarters in their pockets
cause a stir? Cmon people, weve all been through this
before. Wear flip flops and easily removable jewelry or
none at all. Empty every nook and cranny. Put the snow
globes in checked luggage. Keep the line moving!
But without fail, even when I have the process mas-
tered, somebody has to throw in a new wrench meant to
keep me from a pre-boarding cocktail and serve as
reminder that there is very little joy and dignity left in air
travel. This time, the new wrinkle was the hair search.
I can take it down, I offered, reaching for the plastic
clip.
No! the screener interjected.
Was she afraid whatever I may have hidden in my sus-
picious tresses would come tumbling to the floor? For
that matter, what could I possibly have wrapped up
among the frizz and split ends a sunscreen bottle larg-
er than the allowed three ounces? A tiny bottle of
Tanqueray for an $8 in-flight savings? All those metal
emery boards snapped off nail clippers in those early
post-9/11 days of fear and frenzy?
Of course, if I really did have a head full of emery
boards or really any weapon worth its salt, a metal detec-
tor should have already, well, detected it.
The real question was if the screener did find some-
thing other than dandruff, would I be on my way to
Gitmo or shuffled through toward the boarding gate? A
man traveling with his 4-year-old son through a Rhode
Island airport earlier this month claimed he didnt know
how the three stuffed animals the boy sent through secu-
rity came to conceal the parts of a disassembled .40-cal-
iber gun. Oopsie. The man and his son were allowed to
continue on their way as though that situation wasnt sus-
picious at all.
Meanwhile, over in Arizona, I was being looked at like
somebody hiding something more dangerous than a
Bumpit.
The screeners latex gloved hand gave the twist a good
manhandling which in other circumstances would have
led to me joking about getting my bun squeezed. But,
security being the very serious situation it has become, I
refrained. I similarly bit my tongue as the aforemen-
tioned hand also gave my scalp a once over as though its
owner was practicing the ancient art of phrenology.
Terrorist! the bumpy skull proves it, I half expected
her to announce.
Instead, she simply spoke into her walkie-talkie.
Shes clear, the screener confirmed, making me think
Id alerted suspicion long before I tossed my carry-on
bag in the plastic bin at the beginning of this process.
I grabbed my stuff from the conveyor belt and was
halfway toward the gate before realizing that in all the
to-do over my do Id broken one of the cardinal security
screening rules. Id forgotten to remove the plastic bag
full of liquids from my bag for inspection. I must be a
security threat after all.
Thankfully, I snuck through by a hair.

NEW YORK Forget Facebook.
This is still Apples stock market.
Apple the worlds most valuable
company climbed nearly 6 percent on
Monday, helping propel major U.S. stock
indexes to gains after a week of losses.
The Standard & Poors 500, where Apple
accounts for 4 percent of the index,
enjoyed its best day in nearly ve weeks.
The Nasdaq composite index, where
Apple accounts for an even heftier 12
percent, notched its biggest gain of the
year.
And it was no thanks to Facebook. The
social networking giant, on its second day
as a public company, plunged 11 percent
to $34.03, even as the rest of the market
rallied.
It was tough to pin down any surere
reason for Facebooks stock decline. It
did go public during the markets worst
week of the year so far, and nished
Friday just 23 cents above its opening
price of $38. But that didnt explain
Mondays decline.
There must have been some sober sec-
ond thoughts about this, said Brian
Wieser, an analyst at Pivotal Research
Group who was rst to come out with a
Sell rating on Facebooks stock on
Friday. He sees the stock as too expensive
considering the risks associated with
Facebooks brief history and unproven
advertising model. His fair price, or tar-
get price, is $30.
Apple is also no stranger to ckle
investors. Its stock soared 57 percent
from the end of last year through April 9,
climbing to more than $636 from $405 as
iPhone sales seemed unstoppable. Then it
fell for most of April and May, declining
to about $530 on Friday, partly because
investors are worried that phone compa-
nies will grow tired of subsidizing the
expensive phones to sell to customers.
But Mondays gain of $30.90 to
$561.28 its second-biggest climb of
the year so far came after several ana-
lysts said they expect its iPhone business
to continue to do well.
The benchmark Dow Jones industrial
average rose 135.10 points, or 1.1 per-
cent, to 12,504.48. The S&P 500 rose
20.77 points to 1,315.99, and the Nasdaq
jumped 68.42 to 2,847.21.
That was welcome relief after a month
that has been crippled by Greece, which
failed to elect a new government two
weeks ago and is teetering close to leav-
ing the euro.
Investors desperate for good news
latched on to weekend statements from
Chinas Premier Wen Jiabao, who prom-
ised to boost the countrys growth, a shift
from previous rhetoric that focused main-
ly on curbing ination.

NEW YORK Facebook was sup-
posed to soar. Instead, it plunged.
After the social networks stock z-
zled on Friday in its long-awaited debut,
its stock fell 11 percent on Monday, even
as the rest of the stock market rallied.
The downward spiral has left some
people sitting on big losses, and others
scratching their heads. After all, nothing
fundamental has changed at Facebook in
the days since the much-hyped company
came to the stock market Facebook
still has more than 900 million users, its
28-year-old founder Mark Zuckerberg
controls the company, and it is still one
of the few protable Internet companies
to go public.
Facebooks IPO like Netscapes in
1995 and Googles in 2004 was billed
as a milestone moment. Netscapes
offering ushered in the era of the Internet
browser. The companys stock more than
doubled in its first day of trading.
Googles IPO heralded the age of search.
It posted an 18 percent gain in its stock
market debut. Facebook was supposed to
offer proof that social media is a viable
business and more than a passing fad.
But investors dont seem convinced.
Facebooks stock closed Monday at
$34.03, down 11 percent from Fridays
closing price of $38.23. The investment
banks that arranged Facebooks offering
set a price of $38 on Thursday. Although
many investors had hoped for a big rst-
day pop, Facebooks stock opened
Friday at $42.05 and uctuated between
$45 and $38 throughout the day.

For a program thats used to winning, the
2012 version of the Menlo boys tennis team
has put together a season for the ages that
maybe even they wont be able to top.
Despite missing a trio of players, including
their top seed, the Knights captured its fourth
consecutive Northern California champi-
onship, defeating Monte Vista Christian and
then Bellarmine 5-2 over the weekend.
The Knights wrap up an incredible season
in which they won the National Invitational
state tournament, their 11th Central Coast
Section title and now NorCals for an overall
record of 28-0.
We were short-handed, but they still came
through, said Menlo Coach Bill Shine via
press release. The Knights were missing three
juniors who had to stay back to take the SAT
a make-up exam scheduled after Palo Alto
High had to cancel the original test May 5
when a school-wide alarm forced an evacua-
tion.
They were phenomenal, Shine said of his
team.
Menlo handily defeated Monte Vista
Christian of Danville 7-0 before facing
Bellarmine. The Knights topped the Bells ear-
lier this season 6-1 with nearly their full team
in place.
On Saturday, it was Menlos Richard Pham
who defeated Trevor James 7-5, 7-5 at the top
singles spot.
Senior Justin Chan, who is headed to
Dartmouth, won 6-4, 6-1 at No. 2. Menlo
freshman Victor Pham fell 7-5, 6-3, but soph-
omore David Ball picked up a 7-5, 6-0 victo-
ry at No. 4 singles.
I thought David Ball at No. 4 singles had a
huge match, Shine said. The top singles
were on top of their game, then the doubles
clinched it for us.
Menlo juniors Michael Hoffman and
William Boyd, who nished second in CCS,
sealed the NorCals victory with a 7-5, 6-4
win. Vikram Chari and Zach Chase, a senior,
wrapped up a 5-7, 6-1, 6-0 decision at No. 2
doubles and Ryan Miller and Gunther Matta
won 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.

In less than a week, the Central Coast
Section will crown its track and eld champi-

will be in the championship mix.
The CCS completed its seminals over the
weekend with runners and throwers from
Woodside, Aragon, Carlmont and Serra,
among others, in the running for a medal
when the championship meet is held next
Saturday at Gilroy High School.
In the girls 1,600 meter run, Burlingames
Catherine Lowdon qualied with a 5:07.11.
Itll be a really tall order to catch Anna
Maxwell of San Lorenzo, but only three sec-
onds separate No. 5 Lowdon from the rest of
the pack.
Lowdon also placed fth in the 3,200 meter
run with a 11:22.30.
Woodsides Chris Waschura cruised in the
seminals of the 1,600, almost ve seconds
better than his nearest competitor. Hes the top
qualier heading into the nal. Mitch Martin
of Half Moon Bay nished eighth.
In the girls 400 meter dash, Menlo sopho-
more Maddy Price advanced to the CCS nals
after eclipsing her personal record and taking
the fourth seed.
Price ran a 57.38, shaving nearly a half sec-
ond off her PR and winning her CCS heat.
On the boys side, Carlmonts Elliot
Surovell is in the medal mix after posting a
49.55. Michael Berry of San Mateo was just
behind him with a 49.32.
In the boys 100 meter dash, Aragons JD

A
lot of detractors say baseball is
dying as Americas pastime because
its too boring and too slow. But if
you watch closely enough, the nuances of the
game are fascinating as are the reactions
from teams, players and fans. Put it all
together and baseball is innitely enjoyable.
Since I wasnt shooting photos of
Saturdays Serra-St. Francis Central Coast
Section Division I quarternal matchup, I sat
up in the stands behind home plate and really
watched the game
not just pitches, plays
and hits. I noticed
Serra starting pitcher
Orlando Razo shaking
out his right leg as he
toed the rubber setting
up for a pitch. I won-
dered if he had
tweaked something
and was trying to
loosen it up or if it
was just part of his
pre-pitch routine?
As it became evi-
dent St. Francis pitch-
er Trevor Bettencourt was on his way to hav-
ing a stellar outing, I really started watching
how he approached and set up the Serra hit-
ter. He would usually start with a fastball and
follow that with a steady diet of off-speed
pitches. He hit his spots all day long. He had
the Padres all balance all day, who managed
just eight base runners four singles, four
walks with only one hard hit ball.
A real interesting aspect of the game is the
non-verbal communications by teams.
Managers and coaches are always touching
their caps, sliding their hands down their
sleeves and wiping across their chest call-
ing pitches, aligning defenses or setting up a
hit and run on offense.
The ineld is always talking with each
other, without saying anything other than,
Hey, heads up.
They run through a series of taps and
touches along an outstretched arm, or arm
and thigh, informing their team of the
defense they want to use who is taking a
pick-off throw at second, or what to do if
there are runners on rst and third and there
is a steal attempt of second base.
Of course, most of the fans are into it, and
given the rivalry between the Padres and
Lancers and their fans things can get
intense in the stands.
You blew it, blue! the Serra fan
screamed over and over again following a
controversial call that went against the
Padres. The passion is appreciated, but let it

Evan McDaniel completed his
rst season at the College of San
Mateo with a second-place nish in
the mens shot put at the California
Community College Athletic
Association track and eld champi-
onships at Cerritos College in
Norwalk over the weekend.
His put of 55 feet, 2 1-4 inches
trailed only national JC/CC leader
Aaron Tombleson of Sacramento
City College, who had a personal
best put 58-7 1-2 to complete a
throws double which included
the discus. McDaniel ranks No. 2
among all two-year college throwers
and is the top freshman.
Having thrown the college-inter-
national implements for only ve
months, he was happy to nish a
successful rst campaign.
The San Mateo resident plans to
take a short break from throwing
and then return for his rst summer
of training with CSM coach Mike
Lewis. McDaniel has only been
throwing the college/international
weight implements for ve months.
In the mens hammer throw,
CSMs Josh Uikili got off a huge
personal best of 180-4 with a bor-
rowed left-handed throwing imple-
ment to nish fourth in a competi-
tion won by American Community
College record-breaker Remy
Conatser of Saddleback at 195-11.
Uikilis throw, in the preliminar-
ies, had put him in second place
going into the nals. But two other
athletes passed him later. His previ-
ous best was 174-2.
Uikili had problems in the shot
put, where he ranks No. 3 in the
state, just behind McDaniel foul-
ing three times in the prelims and
therefore failing to make the nals.
On the track, CSM freshman
Roman Skovronski placed fth in
the mens 400 meter hurdles in
53.54 seconds, just off his best of
53.31 in the NorCal Championships.
The fast race was won by Jordin
Andrade of Mt. San Antonio in
50.94.
NIKKI UIKILIFI THROWS TWO
PRS FOR STATE PLACEMENTS
Nikki Uikili, Joshs sister, had
her best day with a pair of state plac-
ing personal bests on Saturday. She
put the shot 42-11 to take fourth
place which is also her nal state
best performance ranking for the
season.
She hit the 160-foot mark (exact-
ly) in the hammer to place sixth. She
is ranked sixth in the state and ninth
in the United States among two-year
college throwers and scored all
eight of CSMs womens points in
the championships.
Coast and Northern California
champion Laney College won the
womens team championship, led by
sprinter Ashton Purvis who set an
American JC/CC record in the 200
meters at 22.86, also an Olympic

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILWAUKEE Backup catch-
er Hector Sanchez led off the 14th
inning with a home run and the San
Francisco Giants beat the
Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 on Monday
night.
Buster Posey
hit a three-run
shot in the rst,
accounting for
the rest of San
F r a n c i s c o s
runs. Sanchezs
second homer of
the season came
off reliever Juan
Perez (0-1),
breaking a 3-all tie in a game in
which both teams struggled on
offense.
Ryan Braun tied it with a two-run
homer in the eighth for Milwaukee
but left the game because of tight-
ness in his right groin after ground-
ing out to end the 10th. The severity
of his injury was not immediately
clear.
Santiago Casilla (1-2) pitched the
nal two innings for the win. He
allowed a single to Taylor Green
with two outs in the 14th but got
Corey Hart to y out to end the
game.
The Brewers had a chance to win
in the 12th when Hart walked with
two outs. The Giants brought in
reliever Javier Lopez, who walked
Norichika Aoki. That brought up
Nyjer Morgan, who grounded out to
end the inning.
Madison Bumgarner gave up
three runs and five hits in 7 2-3
innings for the Giants, with a sea-
son-high 10 strikeouts. Coming
in, Bumgarner had allowed only
four runs in four career outings
against Milwaukee.
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke
started Hart at rst base, a move the
team thought about making in the
offseason before Hart hurt his knee
and missed most of spring training.
Milwaukee starter Randy Wolf
gave up ve hits and three runs in
seven innings, with three walks and
four strikeouts.
Wolf labored early on, throwing
70 pitches in the rst three innings.
But he settled down after that,
allowing only a single in the next
four innings.
Wolf was coming off a four-
inning outing in a May 16 loss at
Houston. He gave up seven runs in
that game, six earned.
The left-hander issued back-to-
back walks with one out in the rst
and Posey made him pay for it by
pounding a 2-1 pitch to left for his
fth homer and a 3-0 lead.

OAKLAND Tommy Milone
scattered ve hits over seven innings
and Kila Kaaihue drove in the go-
ahead run, leading the pesky
Oakland Athletics past the Los
Angeles Angels 2-1 on Monday
night.
Milone (6-3) struck out three,
walked one and never allowed the
anemic Angels offense to get going.
The leftys only blemish was an RBI
double by Mike Trout in the fth
that landed between two Oakland
players.
Kurt Suzuki drove in a run on a
double-play groundout in the sec-
ond and Kaaihues RBI single in
the third snapped Jerome Williams
four-game winning streak. Williams
(4-2) hadnt lost since his rst start
of the season, April 15 at the New
York Yankees.
Los Angeles has lost three straight
and four of ve.
Ryan Cook pitched a perfect
eighth to extend his scoreless streak
to 21 2-3 innings to start the season.
Brian Fuentes tossed a perfect ninth
for his fourth save in ve chances.
Another bad day for the Angels
ended even worse.
The team learned in the afternoon
that Vernon Wells tore a ligament in
his right thumb stealing second base
in Sundays 3-2 loss at San Diego.
The outfielder will have surgery
Tuesday in Los Angeles and be out
for at least eight to 10 weeks.
The Angels, with Albert Pujols
and the fourth-highest opening day
payroll at $155 million, watched
Oakland and its league-low $53 mil-
lion payroll grind out another victo-
ry against its AL West rival. The As
(22-21) are 5-2 against the Angels
(18-25) this season.
All the latest took was two bases-
loaded jams to send Los Angeles to
another loss.
After Seth Smith singled to lead
off the second, Josh Donaldson dou-
bled to right and Daric Barton
walked. Williams got Suzuki to
ground into a double play and Cliff
Pennington to ground out, escaping
the inning with Oakland ahead 1-0.
Kaaihues single scored Coco
Crisp activated off the disabled
list earlier Monday after a bout with
an inner-ear infection from sec-
ond to give the As a 2-0 lead in the
third.

PADRES FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
The West Catholic Athletic
League released its 2012-2013 foot-
ball schedule with all local eyes
focused on the reigning CCS
Division I champion Serra Padres.
The Padres, who will have to
replace dynamite players in Joey
Erdie and Erich Wilson, begin their
preseason with a trip to Wilcox Aug.
31. Serra dismantled the Chargers
twice last season by a combined
score of 90-12.
Two weeks later, Encinal of
Alameda comes for a visit. The Jets
gave Serra everything it could han-
dle last season in a 34-28 decision
gone the Padres way.
The big eye-opener is Serras
third game a visit to Buhach
Colony High School in Atwater.
The Thunder reeled off 12 straight
wins last season before losing to
Vacaville in the CIF Sac-Joaquin
Section Playoffs.
Buhach was 6-0 at home last sea-
son and boasted seven rushers with
at least 218 yards rushing on the
year. Their leader, Stefon Gold,
rushed for 931 yards on 125 carries
as a junior.
The Padres begin the WCAL sea-
son away from home at Archbishop
Mitty with a huge matchup with
state runner-up Bellarmine in Week
3 of the regular season.
Serra nishes its schedule with a
Nov. 10 home game against their
eternal rival St. Francis of
Mountain View.
Other notable local touches to the
WCAL schedule: Burlingame will
scrimmage Archbishop Riordan
during the rst week; Sequoia hosts
a four-way scrimmage the same
week with Serra, Menlo-Atherton
and Jefferson; the Bears will host St.
Ignatius on Sept. 15 to close out the
preseason; Terra Nova, the three-
time defending PAL Bay Division
champions appear twice on the
WCAL preseason schedule
against Sacred Heart Cathedral in
Week 1 and against S.I. in Week 3.

Same skills, new mindset for LeBron?
S
pectacular as it seemed, it
was nothing we havent
seen from LeBron James
before.
Maybe thats the funny thing
about all the hoopla over James
performance in Game 4 of the
Pacers-Heat
series.
Because for
once, it wasnt
just his talent
that deserved
the spotlight,
but his matu-
rity. The ques-
tion, after all,
was never
how good
James was; he
answered that
long before his fateful decision to
trade Cleveland for Miami turned
James into the superstar everybody
loves to hate.
He won a scoring championship,
back-to-back MVP awards and sin-
gle-handedly dragged the Cavs into
the playoffs each of his last ve
seasons there and still had
enough energy left to deliver a
handful of postseason performanc-
es every bit as eye-popping as the
one he dropped Sunday on Indiana.
People forget that now.
In 2007, James scored 48 points,
including all of his teams last 25,
in a double-overtime victory over
Detroit. Former NBA sharpshooter
Steve Kerr, who played alongside
Michael Jordan and was doing the
color commentary that night,
bestowed the ultimate compliment
that night: Jordanesque.
In 2009, James put up 41, 44 and
37 points in consecutive games
against Orlando. Over those ve
postseasons with the Cavs, he aver-
aged 43 minutes and 30 points.
Somehow, it was never enough.
So its worth remembering the
reason that Jordan, Charles Barkley
and a handful of other NBA greats
plus nearly every NBA fan out-
side Miami turned thumbs-down
on James decision to leave
Cleveland in the rst place. They
simply thought he was too good
and too young to go looking for so
much help so soon.
To say James should have devel-
oped a sense of urgency since does-
nt tell the half of it. Hes 27 and
still without a ring after the rst
season of the Big Three experi-
ment ended in failure against the
Dallas Mavericks. So when Chris
Bosh went down in the rst game
of the series against Indiana, and
Miamis response was two shaky
losses in a row, everybody was
quick to drop the blame into
LeBrons lap instead of where it
squarely belonged on Dwyane
Wades shoulders.
Its one measure of how much
James may have matured that he
took the criticism in silence.
Usually, he nds no slight too
small to ignore and hes had so
many public feuds running at any
moment that its hard to keep track
of them all. Earlier this season, he
correctly pointed out, If someone
wants to get a point across just
throw LeBrons name in there. You
could be watching cartoons with
your kids and you dont like it, you
say, Blame it on LeBron. If you
go to the grocery store and they
dont have the milk that you like,
you just say, Its LeBrons fault.
And so it seemed likely to hap-
pen again this postseason as the
Heats tailspin and Wades funk
continued through the early
going in Game 4.
Consistency comes when people
know whats expected of them.
And despite two-plus seasons try-
ing to make their talents mesh,
James supporting cast in Miami is
nding it just as hard as the one he
left behind in Cleveland to gure
out what their roles are when the
star of the show is still trying to
decide what his is going to be. For
this one game, at least, James
erased all doubts by doing just
about everything. He scored down
low, knifed through the lane,
blocked shots, defended the post,
brought the ball up anything and
everything Miami needed to stay

go. No amount of fan berating ever changed
an ofcials mind.
At least that particular fan was involved in
that game, which can not be said for all fans.
Its especially comical when someone has no
idea what theyre talking about. During the
St. Thomas More-Menlo Division III rst-
round game Wednesday, a More fan was sit-
ting and sometimes standing at the top
of the bleachers, with his head buried in a
book. Periodically, he would look up, see
what was going on with the game and then
yell out some kind of encouragement to his
team.
As Menlos Jake Batchelder was busy
mowing down the More lineup eventually
throwing a no-hitter the More fan looked
up in the third inning and yells to the batter,
Cmon! You can hit this guy! Hes got noth-
ing!
Batchelder responded by throwing a nasty
breaking ball that had the batter in knots for
strike three and ended the inning.
I muttered under my breath, How was that
for nothing?
Later, with the game all but decided, More
could not hide its frustrations as Menlos
Freddy Avis got a hold of 1-0 pitch and hit a
no-doubt-about-it-off-the-bat moon shot to
right eld.
Moments after Avis connected, the More
second baseman threw his hands up and let
them slap down at his side as his shoulders
slumped the classic sign of resignation
as the ball soared further than any ball had
there in 25 years.
Yeah, Avis is that good.
Once youve really grasped the intricacies
of the game, it become a lot more enjoyable.
Ive found that having to keep a scorebook at
every game I attend makes easier for me to
see the game inside the game. In fact, Ive
found I cant watch an entire game if Im not
keeping a book. But its denitely made me
appreciate the game more, especially when
its high-caliber baseball which is what
you get in CCS.

Player safety on owners agenda
By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
With the Saints bounty case moving to
grievance hearings and court, NFL owners
will talk about player safety when they meet
on Tuesday.
The issue is on the agen-
da for the owners session
in Atlanta, where
Commissioner Roger
Goodell is certain to be
asked about Saints line-
backer Jonathan Vilmas
defamation lawsuit
against him. Meanwhile,
Goodells authority for
administering discipline is
being challenged by the
players union, Vilma and three other players
suspended for their roles in the pay-for-hits
system.
Thats the hot topic, but hardly the only
topic. Owners also will discuss several bylaw
changes that were tabled in March, including
designating one player suffering a major
injury before Week 2 of the season as eligible
to return from injured reserve, and moving the
trading deadline back two weeks to after
Week 8.
Atlanta Falcons President Rich McKay,
chairman of the competition committee,
expects both measures to pass.
There were good ideas and suggestions, no
resistance, he said at the last meetings.
Well work on the language.
The language from the players punished in
the bounty case has been strong and challeng-
ing of the leagues ndings. Vilmas lawsuit
claims Goodell made false statements that tar-
nished the linebackers reputation and hin-
dered his ability to earn a living playing foot-
ball. Vilma has been suspended for the 2012
season.
The suit in U.S. District Court in New
Orleans claims Goodell, relied on, at best,
hearsay, circumstantial evidence and lies in
making comments about Vilma while dis-
cussing the NFLs bounty investigation.
The union led a grievance with an arbitra-
tor asserting that Goodell has no power to dis-
cipline players for actions that occurred
before the leagues current labor agreement
was signed last August.
Vilma and current Saints teammate defen-
sive end Will Smith, plus former Saints
Anthony Hargrove, a defensive end now with
Green Bay, and Scott Fujita, a linebacker now
with Cleveland, have appealed their suspen-
sions. Smith got four games, Hargrove eight
and Fujita three.
Their appeal asks another arbitrator to
decide if the players should be punished for
the system that the league says ran for three
years and paid improper cash bonuses for hits
that injured targeted opponents. The union
argues that the arbitrator, Stephen Burbank,
and not Goodell should hear the four players
appeals.
On other issues, the NFL has informally
looked at further changes to kickoff returns,
considered the most dangerous play in foot-
ball.
It already has altered the defenseless player
rules to include offensive and defensive play-
ers, and there even have been suggestions
about eliminating the three-point stance for
line play.

Sports brief
Manning looks good in
Broncos first OTA workout
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. His passes were
hitting receivers in stride and right between
the numbers, not skipping off the ground or
whizzing behind their heads like so many of
Tim Tebows.
The Denver Broncos got their rst real taste
of Peyton Manning on Monday with a spirited,
fast-paced workout, the four-time MVPs rst
full practice in more than 16 months.
It felt good to be out there. Its been a while
for me, Manning said. Its been about a year
and a-half since Ive been in uniform, been in
an organized practice. So, it felt good to be out
there. And it will be a good lm to study.
Monday also was the rst chance for the
media to get a look at the progress Manning
has made since a series of neck operations
sidelined him all of last season and led to his
release from the Indianapolis Colts.
And Manning looked great, showing zip and
accuracy on his passes, comfort under center,
complete command of his offense and no ill
effects from the nerve injury that caused
weakness in his throwing arm.

within touch of the Pacers.
Just before halftime, with 19 points of his
own, he red off an assist to set Wade up for
a dunk that may have reversed the momen-
tum in the series for good. That one pass said
more than any pregame pep talk James may
have considered.
I didnt say anything to him for a reason,
James recalled afterward. Hes one of the
best players in the world, but I know that the
best thing for a scorer whos struggling is to
get him an easy one.
When Bron gave it back to me, I caught
it in rhythm and you could tell I wasnt
thinking of anything, Wade conrmed. I
was just playing basketball again.
The two combined for 70 of Miamis 100
points 40 for James; 30 by Wade
including 38 straight at one point. Wade had
10 in a row by himself. Even Udonis Haslem
got into the act, doing a passable imitation of
Bosh in the paint.
I felt like I had to do whatever it takes for
us to win, James said.
Yet the difference between James trying to
do it all himself in Cleveland and Miami
wasnt apparent until the end. It was only
then that Wade realized hed already spent
too many minutes doing what James team-
mates have been doing since LeBron rst
wrapped his hands around the ball:
Watching.
We played off each other really well. We
were both, Wade said almost sheepishly,
aggressive at the same time.

Woods insists hes close to contending
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BETHESDA, Md. Tiger Woods insists
he is close to contending on a weekly basis,
even if recent results suggest otherwise.
I think Im headed in the right direction,
Woods said at Congressional Country Club,
where he was promoting the AT&T National
which takes place June 28 to July 1.
Im going to try and continue to improve in
incremental steps in every facet of my game
and try to make every facet of my game more
efcient.
Woods has one PGA Tour victory this year,
but his game has hit a slump recently with a
missed cut in Charlotte as well as 40th-place
finishes at The Masters and Players
Championship.
Ive just played three events I won a
tournament (four) tournaments ago, Woods
said. If I get more efcient at what Im doing,
then Im going to win golf tournaments.
Woods won at Congressional in 2009 before
the event moved to suburban Philadelphia to
make way for last years U.S. Open.
Injury prevented Woods from participating
in Rory McIlroys big win.
Unfortunately, I was in a position where I
couldnt play and it was tough because I
missed out on a golf course I know, that Ive
won on and that I love, Woods said. Those
factors made it difcult to sit back and watch.
What Rory did was extraordinary. He played
some beautiful golf.
McIlroy dominated Congressional, nish-
ing at 16 under. He is not among the early
commitments for the AT&T National, but in
addition to Woods, past tournament champi-
ons Nick Watney, Justin Rose and K.J. Choi
will play in the $6.5 million event.
Par on Congressionals Blue Course will be
71 and at 7,535 yards. Woods has nishes of
tied for 16th (1997 U.S. Open), tied for sixth
(2008 AT&T National) and the win three
years ago.
The difculty is that its a big ballpark,
Woods said. If you get to where theres a lit-
tle moisture in the fairways and (tee shots)
arent running and arent chasing, this course
gets really long. ... Its a fantastic tee-to-green
golf course. You have to drive the ball well
and once you get onto the greens, theres a lot
of pitch and movement, usually back to front.
Playing here this year, I would like to see it
difcult, theres no doubt.
FIFA prepares to pick anti-corruption officials
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BUDAPEST, Hungary Tackling corrup-
tion in soccer will again top FIFAs agenda
when the 208 members meet this week for a
congress that will also see the rst woman
appointed to the governing bodys executive
committee.
Continuing FIFAs efforts to restore its bat-
tered image after a series of corruption scan-
dals, FIFA will announce Tuesday which
independent ofcials will be brought in from
outside the football family to spearhead new
ethics and audit committees that are seen as
key vehicles for genuine change.
However, President Sepp Blatter canceled a
news conference scheduled for Tuesday after
his executive committee wrapped up an
expected two-day meeting in a single session
Monday.
FIFA is set to announce which woman will
be appointed to the executive committee. That
person will hold the position for one year,
when the seat is opened up for election
although only female candidates will be con-
sidered.
Candidates for the key anti-corruption posts
must get nal approval from the congress
oor on Friday.
They can then start work with authority to
order fresh probes into old allegations, moni-
tor the governing bodys billion-dollar annual
spending and vet all FIFA ofcials for their
integrity to hold ofce.
With the prospect of independent oversight
of FIFAs sometimes shadowy business, spec-
ulation about possible appointments has cen-
tered on high-ranking personalities being
lured from politics and civil society.
Their names have been suggested by former
United Nations investigator Mark Pieth, who
was picked by FIFA to advise on transparency
and curbing corruption.
Critics of FIFA hope the chosen ofcials
appointed to a revamped ethics court will
revisit some allegations and prosecute other
football leaders.
Also this week, a two-day FIFA medical
conference that opens Wednesday will study
cases of cardiac arrest among players and
shape an anti-doping strategy for the 2014
World Cup.
On the sidelines in Budapest, Cayman
Islands banker Jeffrey Webb is set to be elect-
ed Wednesday as president of the North,
Central American and Caribbean (CONCA-
CAF) confederation, succeeding disgraced
former FIFA vice president Jack Warner.
Warner resigned last June to avoid FIFA
prosecution in a bribery scandal during
Blatters re-election, having survived previous
allegations of nancial wrongdoing and World
Cup ticket scalping.
The 24-man executive committee is likely
to approve an updated code of ethics, which
was used to suspend seven of its serving or
former colleagues in the past 20 months,
including Blatters former election rival
Mohamed bin Hammam.

Wisconsin recall leaders
struggle to gain momentum
MADISON, Wis. Amid signs that the
effort to oust Republican Gov. Scott Walker is
losing ground, Wisconsin Democrats and
union leaders are preparing a fundraising and
get-out-the-vote push to regain momentum in
the nal weeks before the June recall election.
Opponents of Walker are concerned that the
governor, aided by a huge inux of money
from conservative supporters nationwide, has
opened a lead in a race that had been dead
even in the polls.
Walker, who has raised $25 million, has
been blanketing Wisconsin with broadcast
advertising touting his handling of the econo-
my. His Democratic opponent, Tom Barrett,
who did not win his partys primary until May
8, has raised only $1 million and not been able
to match the blitz. The most recent public poll
on the race released last week showed Walker
leading by 6 points.
I feel like Walker does have the momen-
tum, said Michael Brown, who was among
those who organized the petition drive that
netted more than 900,000 signatures to force
the recall vote. Its up to the people of
Wisconsin to push back.
The effort to recall Walker, which began
after he successfully pushed to remove the
collective bargaining power of public employ-
ee unions, has become a nationally watched
battle over worker rights.
High court will take
up wiretaps lawsuit
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court
says it will consider shutting down a legal
challenge to a law that lets the United States
eavesdrop on overseas communications.
A federal appeals court ruled last year that a
lawsuit filed by lawyers, journalists and
human rights groups objecting to the latest
version of the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act could proceed. But the
Obama administration appealed, and the jus-
tices said Monday they will take up the case in
the fall.
The lawsuit was brought by those in jobs
that require them to speak with people over-
seas who are possible targets of the surveil-
lance.
No court has ruled on the merits of the law-
suit. The current legal ght is over whether the
laws challengers are entitled to make their
case in federal court.
The administration says the lawsuit should
be dismissed because the plaintiffs only have
a fear of having their communications inter-
cepted as opposed to citing specific
instances which the administration says is
insufcient for asking federal judges to inter-
vene.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTAGOSTINO DI FERRARA, Italy
Cheese producer Oriano Caretti woke up to
the shaking earth, and then to the roar of some
30,000 39-kilogram (86-pound) wheels of
Parmesan cheese crashing to the ground in the
warehouse next to his home.
The 6.0-magnitude quake north of Bologna
that killed seven people and toppled centuries
old buildings also caused enormous damage
to the regions world-renown cheese produc-
tion. The Coldiretti Italian farm lobby said
400,000 wheels of Parmesan and Grana
Padano cheese were damaged when the racks
where they are aged collapsed.
Total agriculture losses, including lost
cheese, felled livestock and damaged machin-
ery in an area spanning Bologna, Modena and
Mantova in the agriculturally rich Po River
Valley, are estimated at (euro) 200 million
($254 million).
Considering that what you see here repre-
sents the work of seven companies for two
years, this means that the repercussions on the
rural economy of these farms and this territo-
ry will feel it pretty badly, Caretti said
Monday inside the cheese factory, where
wooden shelves were still collapsed from the
quake. Only one rack of 16 remained stand-
ing.
Many of the wheels looked unscathed, but
workers were still trying to determine what
could be salvaged before mold sets in.
The quake struck 4:04 a.m. Sunday, when
most residents in the quake zone north of
Bologna were asleep and residential build-
ings in an area unaccustomed to quakes large-
ly withstood the temblor.
But factories in the region were at work
despite the economic crisis that has sent
Italy into recession and despite the hour, and
many collapsed. Four of the seven dead were
workers on the overnight shift who were

other three victims including a German
tourist and an Italian centenarian died of
heart attacks or other health conditions
brought on by fear.

bution, has been idled while inspectors deter-
mine if the structures on the sprawling site are
safe.
Despite the enormous blow, Ceramica
SantAgostino is determined to restart produc-
tion as soon as possible, above all to honor the
memories of those who are no longer here,
the company said in a statement.

TEHRAN, Iran The head of the U.N.
nuclear agency pushed Monday for a break-
through pact with Iran to resume inspections
into suspected secret atomic weapons work
and possibly set in motion further dealmaking
when envoys from Tehran and world powers
gather later this week in Baghdad.
The mission by International Atomic Energy
Agency chief Yukiya Amano his rst to Iran
since taking the post in 2009 raised specu-
lation about greater exibility by Iranian of-
cials as they struggle to balance the blows
from Western sanctions and their insistence
never to abandon the countrys nuclear pro-
gram.
But any Iranian cooperation including
possibly opening up a military site to U.N.
inspectors will carry reciprocal demands
that the West may consider reaching too far,
too soon.
Tehran has already signaled its goal before
Wednesdays talks: Pressing the U.S. and
Europe to roll back sanctions that have hit crit-
ical oil exports and blacklisted the country
from international banking networks. The
Wests opening gambit, meanwhile, may aim
at one of Irans most prized advances its
ability to make nuclear fuel.
A main concern is Irans production of ura-
nium enriched to 20 percent, which is far high-
er than needed for regular energy-producing
reactors but used in medical research. The U.S.
and allies fear the higher-enriched uranium
could be quickly boosted to warhead-grade
material. Iran denies it seeks nuclear arms and
says its reactors are only for power and med-
ical applications.
U.S. ofcials have said Washington will not
backpedal from its stance that Iran must fully
halt uranium enrichment. But speculation is
increasing that the priorities have shifted to
block the 20 percent enrichment and perhaps
allow at least for the moment Iran to
maintain lower-level nuclear fuel production.
Iranian ofcials could package such a sce-
nario as a victory for their domestic audience.
In Israel, it would likely be greeted with dis-
may and widen rifts between the Obama
administration and Israeli ofcials who keep
open the threat of military action against Irans
nuclear sites.

WASHINGTON Healthy men
shouldnt get routine prostate cancer
screenings, says updated advice from a
government panel that found the PSA
blood tests do more harm than good.
Despite strenuous protests from urolo-
gists, the U.S. Preventive Services Task
Force is sticking by a contentious pro-
posal it made last fall. A nal guideline
published Monday says theres little if
any evidence that PSA testing saves lives
while too many men suffer impo-
tence, incontinence, heart attacks, occa-
sionally even death from treatment of
tiny tumors that never would have killed
them.
The guideline isnt a mandate. The
task force stresses that men who want a
PSA test still can get one, but only after
the doctor explains the uncertainties.
Thats in part because the panel found
PSA testing hasnt been studied ade-
quately in black men and those with
prostate cancer in the family, who are at
highest risk of the disease.
The Obama administration said
Monday that Medicare will continue to
pay for PSA screenings, a simple blood
test. Other insurers tend to follow
Medicares lead.
This is important information for the
public and men to have, and they should
talk with their doctors about the risks
and benets of prostate cancer screening
and make the decision thats best for
them, said Mark Weber, a spokesman
for the Department of Health and
Human Services.
The task force advice goes a step fur-
ther than major health groups including
the American Cancer Society, which has
long urged that men decide the issue for
themselves after being told of PSAs
pros and cons. But its not likely to end
an annual ritual for many men 50 and
older. After all, the same task force has
long urged men over 75 to skip PSA
screening, and research suggests almost
half of them still get tested.
The controversy will end only with
development of better tests to nally
tell which mens tumors really will
threaten their lives, and who will die
with prostate cancer rather than from it,
said Dr. Virginia Moyer of the Baylor
College of Medicine, who heads the task
force.
We have been told for decades to be
terried of cancer and that the only hope
is early detection and treatment, she
said. The reality: You dont need to
detect all cancers.
We dont want this to be the answer,
Moyer added. We want to screen for the
ones that are going to be aggressive,
manage those early and leave every-
one else alone.
Final advice: Panel against routine prostate test
Despite strenuous protests from urologists,the U.S.Preventive Services Task Force
says routine prostate cancer screenings do more harm than good.

A simple, cheaper exam of just the lower part of the
bowel can cut the risk of developing colon cancer or dying
of the disease, a large federal study nds.
Many doctors recommend a more complete test
colonoscopy but many people refuse that costly, unpleas-
ant exam. The new study shows that the simpler test, exi-
ble sigmoidoscopy, can be a good option. Although it may
seem similar to having a mammogram on just one breast,
experts say that even a partial bowel exam is better than
none.
As one put it, "the best test is the one that gets done."
The study was published online Monday by the New
England Journal of Medicine and was to be presented at a
digestive diseases conference in San Diego.
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer
deaths in the United States and the fourth worldwide. More
than 143,000 new cases and 52,000 deaths from the disease
are expected this year in the U.S. alone.
People ages 50 to 75 who are at average risk of colon can-
cer are urged to get screened, but only about 60 percent do.
Government advisers recommend one of three methods:
annual stool blood tests, a sigmoidoscopy every ve years
plus stool tests every three years, or a colonoscopy once a
decade.
In a colonoscopy, a thin tube with a tiny camera is guided
through the large intestine. Growths can be removed and
checked for cancer. Patients are sedated, but it requires
drinking strong solutions the day before to clean out the
bowel.

Dad pushes for school stock
of allergy attack medicines
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE A San Jose father, whose son died of an
allergic reaction after eating peanuts, is pushing Congress
to pass legislation that would encourage schools to stock
medication for severe allergy attacks.
Brian Homs son, BJ, died from anaphylactic shock after
inadvertently eating peanuts in a dessert while the family
was on vacation at a Mexican resort in 2008.
The family did not have any epinephrine to counter the
severe reaction because his sons peanut allergy was mild
and they didnt know it could become severe, Hom said.
BJ, who would have turned 22 this year, had never been
given a prescription for epinephrine, Hom said.
So Hom travelled to Washington, D.C. this week, where
he met with lawmakers and lobbied Congress to pass a bill
that would push public schools to keep on hand and
administer medication to any student suffering from the
reaction.
Ive channeled all my anger and passion into stopping
this from happening, said Hom, 54, who took off a week
from his job for the lobbying trip.
Hom said the proposed School Access to Emergency
Epinephrine Act would encourage public schools to keep a
supply of epinephrine auto-injectors, widely known as
EpiPens, in case a student has a reaction like his sons.
Because his sons allergic reactions had not previously
caused serious problems, he was never given a prescrip-
tion for epinephrine. The family was not prepared for BJs
severe reaction, Hom said.
You can go for years and years and years having only a
mild reaction, Hom said. Then one day have sudden
death.
The act, if passed by Congress, would provide incentives
to states to require elementary schools and secondary
schools to maintain, and permit school personnel to
administer, epinephrine at schools.

ATLANTA Half the nations overweight
teens have unhealthy blood pressure, choles-
terol or blood sugar levels that put them at risk
for future heart attacks and other cardiac
problems, new federal research says.
And an even larger proportion of obese ado-
lescents have such a risk, according to the
alarming new numbers.
What this is saying, unfortunately, is that
were losing the battle early with many kids,
said Dr. Stephen Daniels, a University of
Colorado School of Medicine expert who was
not involved in the study.
People can keep their risk of heart disease
very low if they reach age 45 or 50 at normal
weight and with normal blood pressure, nor-
mal cholesterol and no diabetes. So these
results are not good, he said.
The study was released Monday in the jour-
nal Pediatrics.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention research focused on 3,383 adoles-
cents ages 12 through 19. The youths were
part of an intensive national study that
involves interviewing, weighing, measuring
and performing medical tests on people across
the country.
The ongoing CDC study is considered a
gold standard for looking at national health
trends, said Dr. William Mahle, an Emory
University pediatric cardiologist.
So there was some good news, Mahle said,
that the study found no increase in levels of
obesity, high blood pressure or bad choles-
terol during the years it covered 1999
through 2008.
All of us are looking for some sign or sig-
nal that were making headway, said Mahle,
who was not involved with the study. So that
was reassuring.

States but it's the one used most often in
England. It also uses a thin scope and tiny
camera, can be done in an ordinary doctor's
ofce, requires much less bowel preparation
and costs just $150 to $300 versus $1,000 to
$2,000 for a colonoscopy.
One drawback: It's done without anesthesia.
The test usually isn't painful, but patients feel
cramping and some discomfort, said Dr.
Durado Brooks, the American Cancer
Society's colon cancer expert. It also sees only
the lower one-third of the colon, "but that is an
area where probably half of polyps and can-
cers develop," Brooks said.
The new study, led by Dr. Robert Schoen of
the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center,
tested how well it works.
From 1993 to 2001, about 155,000 people
ages 55 to 75 were assigned to get the simple
scope exam at the start of the study and three
to ve years later, or usual care screening
by any means only if they or their doctors
wanted it done. Any patients with suspicious
ndings were sent for a colonoscopy.
After about 12 years of follow-up, there
were 21 percent fewer cases of colon cancer
and 26 percent fewer deaths from the dis-
ease in the group assigned to get sigmoi-
doscopy.
Of the cancers in that group, 243 were con-
sidered to have been caught by sigmoi-
doscopy (many others were found because of
symptoms or other tests). Researchers esti-
mate that 97 more would have been detected
if colonoscopy had been the main screening
method instead of the simpler scope exam,
said study co-leader Dr. Christine Berg, chief
of early detection research at the National
Cancer Institute, which sponsored the
research.
"My opinion is that there's no doubt that
colonoscopy would be better in detecting
more total cancers," she said. "A sigmoi-
doscopy could be used in situations where
people are afraid of having the bowel prep," or
when anesthesia is a risk, she said.
In the study, about half of the group
assigned to usual care wound up getting some
type of scope exam anyway. That was far
more than study leaders expected, and it could
have diminished the true benefit sigmoi-
doscopy gave to the screening group, Dr. John
Inadomi of the University of Washington in
Seattle wrote in an editorial in the medical
journal.
A patient's choice of tests must be respect-
ed, he added. "In this case, the best test is the
one that gets done."

SCOPE
In an editorial published with the guideline
in Annals of Internal Medicine, some urolo-
gists argue the panel underestimated PSAs
value and overestimated its harms.
What PSA screening offers the men is a
substantial opportunity to avoid dying a par-
ticularly unpleasant death from prostate can-
cer, said editorial co-author Dr. William
Catalona of Northwestern University, who
pioneered the testing.
He spoke Monday from a meeting of the
American Urological Association, where
doctors debated the guidelines impact. The
urology association advises that men be
informed of the potential risks and benets
before screening.
But Dr. Otis Brawley, the American Cancer
Societys chief medical ofcer, welcomed the
task forces recommendation. He hoped it
would help deter mass screenings, where men
are given free PSAs at shopping malls and
sports arenas without being told of the con-
troversy, screenings that Brawley calls big
business when health centers prot from the
follow-up care.
The question is, are we actually curing
anybody who needs to be cured right now?
Brawley asked.
Too much PSA, or prostate-specic anti-
gen, in the blood only sometimes signals
prostate cancer is brewing. It also can mean a
benign enlarged prostate or an infection.
Only a biopsy can tell. Most men will get
prostate cancer if they live long enough.
Some 240,000 U.S. men a year are diagnosed
with it, most with slow-growing tumors that
carry a very low risk of morphing into the
kind that can kill.
To evaluate whether routine screening
saves lives, the task force analyzed previous
research, focusing in particular on two huge
studies in the U.S. and Europe. The panels
conclusion:
Without screening, about 5 in every 1,000
men die of prostate cancer over 10 years. The
European study found PSA testing might pre-
vent one of those deaths, while the U.S. study
found no difference.
Of every 1,000 men screened, two will
have a heart attack or stroke from resulting
cancer treatment, and 30 to 40 will experience
treatment-caused impotence or incontinence.
Of every 3,000 men screened, one will
die from complications of surgery.
Both the U.S. and European studies have
aws, and task force critics argue over which
are most believable. And while U.S. death
rates from prostate cancer have dropped over
20 years, the cancer societys Brawley says
the drop began before PSA testing became
widespread. Moreover, the risk of death is the
same in Europe and the U.S. even though
many more American men are screened, diag-
nosed and treated, he said.
We need to do a better job of using PSA
wisely, said Dr. Scott Eggener, a University
of Chicago prostate cancer specialist who
was disappointed the task force went so far.
Most people would agree that a well-
informed, young, healthy patient should have
the opportunity to talk about it with their
physician.
But hes studying a way beyond the screen-
or-not controversy: Having men with small,
low-risk tumors postpone treatment in favor
of active surveillance, keeping close watch
on their tumors and treating only if they grow.
More than 100,000 men a year are candi-
dates, concluded a recent meeting at the
National Institutes of Health.
That approach could maximize the bene-
ts of screening, Eggener said.

But one measure did get worse: The per-
centage of adolescents who were diagnosed
with diabetes or pre-diabetes rose dramati-
cally, from 9 percent to 21 percent. Pre-dia-
betics have higher than normal blood sugar
levels, but not high enough to count as dia-
betes.
Its not clear why the proportion of kids
with high blood sugar would increase while
the measures for the other heart disease risk
factors held steady. It may have something to
do with the kind of test used to measure
blood sugar, Daniels said.
Adolescents in the study were given a
blood test that can give varying results
depending on the day or time of day the test
is given. Other tests, though more involved
and more expensive, are considered more
precise.
Daniels said its possible another testing
method might not have produced a swing so
large.
That is possible, said Ashleigh May, the
CDC epidemiologist who was the studys
lead author.
This study is just a first step to identify
problems in youth. More work needs to be
done to identify why this is happening and
the advantages of using various test methods
in this population, she said.
Overall the study found that 50 percent of
overweight youths and 60 percent of obese
youths had at least one risk factor for future
heart disease.
But normal-weight kids arent off the hook
37 percent had at least one risk factor and
could face increased chances for heart trou-
ble as adults, the study suggests.

CHICAGO New lung cancer screening
guidelines from three medical groups recom-
mend annual scans but only for an older group
of current or former heavy smokers.
The advice applies only to those aged 55 to
74. The risks of screening younger or older
smokers or nonsmokers outweigh any benets,
according to the guidelines.
About 8 million Americans would be eligible
for screening under the new criteria, and if all of
them got the scans, about 4,000 lung cancer
deaths per year could be prevented, said Dr.
Peter Bach of Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center in New York.
He chaired the expert panel that wrote the
new guidelines for the American College of
Chest Physicians, the American Society of
Clinical Oncology and the National
Comprehensive Cancer Network.
The recommended screening involves low-
dose CT scans, which are a special kind of X-
ray that can detect lung cancer early, but also
can have false-positive results.
Regular chest X-rays can also detect lung
cancer but they provide less detailed images
than CT scans, can also have false-positive
results and have not been recommended as a
screening tool because they have not been
shown to save lives.
The guidelines were published online Sunday
in the Journal of the American Medical
Association.
An estimated 226,000 Americans will be
diagnosed with lung cancer this year. It is the
leading cause of cancer deaths for U.S. men and
women. An estimated 160,000 lung cancer
deaths nationwide will occur this year. That
number has declined in recent years, partly
because of better detection and fewer people
smoking.
Widespread screening will likely lead to
some deaths because abnormal results are typi-
cally followed by biopsies and other invasive
tests that sometimes have deadly complications.
Still, the three groups say those deaths would be
far outnumbered by people saved from lung
cancer deaths by screening.
The recommendations go slightly further
than preliminary guidance issued last year by
the American Cancer Society and targeting cur-
rent or heavy smokers in the same age range.
That guidance said eligible adults may consid-
er CT screening but should discuss risks and
benets with their physicians.
The new guidelines say screening with low-
dose CT scans should be offered, but only in
academic medical centers and other sites with
specialized radiologists and surgeons on staff.
The guidance is based on a review of evi-
dence including a large National Cancer
Institute study involving more than 53,000 peo-
ple with a history of smoking at least one ciga-
rette pack daily for 30 years or two packs for 15
years. The guidelines recommend screening
only for people who have smoked that much.
Lung cancer CT scans: Just for older heavy smokers
Regular chest X-rays can also detect lung cancer but they provide less detailed images than
CT scans,can also have false-positive results and have not been recommended as a screening
tool because they have not been shown to save lives.

REVI EWS:
By Hamza Hendawi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO This weeks landmark presiden-
tial election should end six decades of effective
military rule in Egypt, but it remains unclear
how much authority the generals who took
over from Hosni Mubarak will cede to the
elected leader.
One thing is certain, though: the generals
want no interference with their budget, their
economic empire or promotions.
The main question is whether a military that
has grown accustomed to virtually unchal-
lenged domination over the past six decades
will be willing to quietly give it all up, or know
how to deal with a civilian president if one is
elected.
It will take years before the military and
civilians learn how to work together, said
Michael W. Hanna, an Egypt expert from the
Century Foundation in New York. The gener-
als dont want to rule, but they have a dim view
of civilians. And there are things they are
unlikely to budge on things they want to
have a say in, like national security.
All of Egypts four presidents since the over-
throw of the monarchy in a 1952 coup have
come from the military. The nations most
powerful institution, the military has over the
years built a seemingly unshakable image as a
bastion of patriotism and the defender of the
nation.
Retired generals have consistently been
given top government jobs as Cabinet minis-
ters, ambassadors, provincial governors, chair-
men of key state-owned rms or key posts in
the private sector. Combined with the powers
of the president, a loyal police force and a
coterie of very wealthy businessmen, they have
held a stranglehold on Egypt.
High on the list of their worries is whether
the armed forces budget will be subjected to
public debate in the legislature, currently dom-
inated by Islamists, most of whom are at sharp
odds with the military.
There is also the question of whether the mil-
itarys vast economic interests giant con-
struction companies, farms, water-bottling
facilities and a nationwide chain of gas stations
would come under civilian oversight or be
forced to compete for lucrative government
contracts like everyone else.
Already, a member of the ruling military
council has sternly warned that anyone who
tries to touch the militarys economic interests
would be harshly dealt with.
One more source of concern is whether the
next president would have the authority to pen-
sion off top brass after they reach the retire-
ment age of 60. Many members of the ruling
military council are well into their 60s or 70s.
None of these problems publicly surfaced
under Mubarak, a career air force ofcer who
allowed the military to freely pursue economic
interests and accepted counsel from his defense
minister on army promotions and retirement in
return for the generals support throughout his
29-year rule.
Conning the militarys role to the defense
of the nation has been a main demand by the
pro-democracy groups who engineered the
anti-Mubarak uprising and later called for the
military to step down. Some want the generals
to be put on trial to answer for alleged crimes
during their rule, including the killing of peace-
ful protesters, torturing detainees and putting
civilians on trial before military tribunals,
including icon gures from the protest move-
ment.
Free and fair elections and the installation
of a civilian president would be a step in the
right direction, said Samer S. Shehata, an
Egypt expert from Georgetown University. It
will be the rst step in the retreat, or hopefully
the removal, of the military from executive
power.
Mubarak, the generals mentor, is on trial for
his life on charges of complicity in the killing
of nearly 900 protesters during the uprising, as
well as corruption. The 84-year-old former
president is to be sentenced on June 2.
Perhaps with Mubaraks ordeal in mind, the
military recently won protection for all person-
nel, whether retired or in active service, from
being put on trial in civilian courts.
Publicly, the generals say they have no wish
to remain in politics and would step down
immediately if they could. Any talk of wanting
to hold on to power is baseless, they say.
They have not shied away from singing their
own praises, but their infrequent public appear-
ances have meant they had to rely on a power-
ful state media, as well as inuential journalists
and several loyal private television stations to
promote them as the nations faithful sons.
The military and bureaucracy are the pillars
of the state of Egypt, commentator Gamal
Abolhassan wrote in Sundays online edition of
the independent al-Shorouk daily. Without
them, Egypt would have certainly slid into
complete chaos.
But it was under the militarys watch, say
critics, that Egypt has seen a surge in crime, the
loss of half the countrys foreign reserves as the
economy faltered and the kind of disasters
thought unimaginable just a little more than a
year ago including the deaths in February of
more than 70 soccer fans in a riot as police
stood by and watched.
The 13 candidates contesting the
Wednesday-Thursday election include
Islamists, liberals and two with military back-
grounds, among them a retired air force com-
mander who was Mubaraks last prime minis-
ter.
No outright winner is expected to emerge
from the two-day vote, so a runoff is scheduled
for June 16-17 between the two top nishers.
The election is the last stop in a turbulent
transitional period before the generals hand
back power by July 1 as they promised soon
after Mubaraks ouster in last years 18-day
popular uprising.
Media leaks over the past week of an
impending constitutional declaration spon-
sored by the military to give it vast powers and
dening those of the next president have
sparked fears the generals are trying to create
a state within the state.
Egypts election to decide armys political future
purchase property for a new school facility.
About 200 people attended the study ses-
sion with 25 of them taking the time to tell the
council exactly why Peninsula should not be
moved to the San Mateo High School campus.
Trying to control the gang problem will be
exponentially more work for police, said
Kerry Hyman, president of San Mateo High
Schools parent-teacher organization.
All 96 teachers at San Mateo High School
also oppose the move, said Miguel Appleman,
who teaches at the school.
Im not sure the district is listening to its
teachers, Appleman said. Putting the
Peninsula students on the San Mateo High
School campus, he said, would put them on
the stigmatized side of the fence.
A report prepared by the San Mateo Police
Department states Peninsula students who
reside in San Mateo will be better suited to go
to school at a neutral campus, since many of
them did not nd success in a traditional
school setting.
There are simply several groups of stu-
dents that comprise a signicant portion of
their student body population, that we believe
could potentially create disruptive inuences
at San Mateo High School and in the broader
North Central community and in turn create
undue impacts to our already strained police
resources, according to the SMPD report.
There are a signicant group of document-
ed gangmembers from other cities attending
Peninsula, mostly from Millbrae and San
Bruno, that have rivalries with several gangs
that operate in the North Central area, accord-
ing to the SMPD report.
The addition of outside rival gangmembers
in this fragile neighborhood ... will likely cre-
ate violent conicts, open hostility and an
environment that will take extraordinary
police resources to quell, according to the
SMPD report.
Mayor Jack Matthews said he did not have
a problem with Peninsula being located in San
Mateo, just not on the campus. Please look at
another site.
He suggested the school district nd a 2-
acre site on El Camino Real to purchase for
the school.
Laurence said the district has been looking
at sites in the 8- to- 14-acre range for
Peninsula that could also be used for other
district needs.
The district had a $186 million bond meas-
ure pass in 2010, Measure O, with part of it
earmarked for a new facility for the continua-
tion school.
Some at last nights meeting said they
would never support a bond measure again by
the San Mateo Union High School District
since Measure O had language in it to build a
new school site for Peninsula students.
Placing the school on district-owned prop-
erty could be the easiest solution since it
requires less money and fewer approvals from
outside agencies, according to the school dis-
trict. In terms of district-owned property, the
board could consider using surplus land at
Hillsdale High School or recongure the San
Mateo High School campus or make improve-
ments to the Crestmoor site.
The best way to help the students is to take
them out of the environment they struggled
in, Deputy Mayor David Lim said.
Crestmoor serves these students well.
A conceptual proposal to move Peninsula to
San Mateo High Schools campus includes
moving the district ofce to where is yet
unknown; shifting the adult school and build-
ing Peninsula on the adult schools current
location. While possible, the idea raised a
number of concerns from the board in January
including reducing the open space, putting
more people on a crowded parcel and worsen-
ing an already bad trafc situation.
The school districts board is not expected
to make a decision on relocating Peninsula
until the fall, maybe in October.

paper as a junior and participated in
leadership and the executive council dur-
ing her sophomore and junior years and
part of her senior year.
Its been work outside of school that
has fueled Diazs interest in internation-
al politics and anthropology. For exam-
ple, she traveled to Japan the summer
after her freshman year with the People
to People organization. And, last sum-
mer, Diaz participated in the Chicano
Youth Leadership Conference in
Sacramento, which discussed getting
Hispanics to become more involved
within the community.
Achieving such success came from the
support of Diazs mother, who really
wanted her girls to further their educa-
tion.
In 2007, Diazs parents split. Her
father has since moved back to Mexico.
Despite moving multiple times in a short
period of time, Diaz always remained
enrolled in the same school and active in
her interests something Diaz attrib-
utes to the strength of her mom.
Shes always had us as her highest
priority. Both my parents didnt go to
college. She always wanted us to go,
said Diaz.

plans are on track to install lights over
the summer which would allow for
evening games to begin in the fall.
Previously, neighbors had sent a for-
mal letter to the district about concerns
for the project such as excess noise and
crowds. The district and the neighbors
have been working together on those
issues.
We did work out an agreement with
the Craneld neighbors that denes the
usage policy and use of the public
address system. At this point we are
ready to proceed, said Superintendent
James Lianides.
The district is proposing installation of
permanent eld lights, a public address
system, a new 456-seat bleacher seating
system, associated utilities and, possibly,
a parking lot with capacity for between
40 to 75 vehicles on the schools cam-
pus, located at 1400 Alameda de las
Pulgas, according to the mitigated nega-
tive declaration.
Part of the board-adopted facilities
plan funds were set aside for the instal-
lation. In addition, the school has hosted
a handful of night games using tempo-
rary lights to allow the district to gather
information on trafc, attendance, light
and noise. One issue already identied is
a need for additional parking should the
school start hosting night games, accord-
ing to a previous staff report.
District ofcials are proposing similar
rules to what has been set up at Menlo-
Atherton High School. The PA system,
for example, is expected to be off by 10
p.m. after evening football games and 9
p.m. during all other evening games and
special events. Lights would be on until
10:30 p.m. after football games and 9
p.m. after other events. The district is
also open to allowing the lights to be
used for other events such as for charter
school and community sports groups.
Menlo-Atherton High School was the
most recent school in the district to have
lights installed. The process was a long
one which started in 2010 but was
delayed due to a lawsuits from neighbors
who felt possible problems were not
being addressed.
Rules were set up after to work with
the neighbors. Those same regulations
seem to be guiding the suggested rules
for using the lights at Carlmont High
School.

that the Crystal Springs Safety
Roadside Rest Area near Hillsborough
will be renamed the Dale M. Krings
Memorial Rest Area.
Hill praised Krings service, heroism
and ultimate sacrifice, fighting back
tears as he recounted the events that led
to Krings death on May 22, 1962.
It was 50 years ago when Officer
Dale M. Krings went to work for the
last time, Hill said.
Krings and his partner had gone into
the Hyatt House restaurant for breakfast
when a man later identified as San
Mateo resident Edward Lang Hargrove
armed himself with a rifle and opened
fire on the patrons, wounding a waitress
and then Krings, Hill said.
The wounded Krings faced the gun-
man and returned fire, fatally shooting
the assailant in the head.
Krings was taken to a hospital where
he was pronounced dead.
Prior to the shooting, Hargrove, 47, a
former writer and radio news reporter
in Los Angeles who suffered from men-
tal illness, had been heard mumbling
that he hated police, according to Hills
office.
At yesterday mornings ceremony,
Hill stood in the sun near a black-and-
white photograph of Krings in his CHP
uniform, and said that renaming the rest
area which is known for its 26-foot-
tall statue of a pointing Father Junipero
Serra will provide a lasting tribute to
Krings.
More than a dozen of Krings rela-
tives attended the ceremony, including
his widow Marjorie and his son, who
was just 4 years old when his father was
killed.
The renaming of the rest stop was
enabled by Assembly Concurrent
Resolution 100, which is expected to be
signed into law within the next few
weeks.

Association, which appealed the deci-
sion, questioned the citys review
process, the environmental process and
social justice. The group claimed the
EIR underestimated the number of trips
the store would generate, bringing with
it pollution, noise and an increase of cars
cutting through their residential commu-
nity.
However, that August, the City
Council upheld the plan and the
160,000-square-foot store and 12-pump
station opened in 2009. A court also
favored the city when the opponents
challenged the adequacy of the EIR in
court.
The new Costco proposal is also not
without some concern. Twelve people
attended an informational workshop in
March on the plan and questioned trafc
impacts on Middleeld Road. Those in
attendance also raised points about traf-
c cutting through neighboring residen-
tial areas and the allowance of U-turns at
the intersection of Middeeld Road and
Charter Street. The suggestion was also
made to install speed bumps in the resi-
dential neighborhoods.
Members of the neighborhood associ-
ation could not be reached for comment
about the new proposal.

COSTCO
By John Raby
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLESTON, W.Va. Comedian
Andy Dick has agreed to enter a pretrial
diversion program that, if completed
successfully, would absolve him of sex
abuse charges arising from a 2010 night-
club incident, authorities said.
Corky Hammers, an assistant prosecu-
tor in West Virginias Cabell County,
said Monday that the program requires
Dick to stay out of legal trouble for the
next six months under the agreement. It
allows for no drug use and no arrests
during that time.
If Dick fails to comply, Hammers says
Dick could be tried on felony charges
stemming from the
club incident in
which he was
accused of grabbing
a bouncers crotch
and groping and kiss-
ing a male patron at a
Huntington bar. At
the time, Dick was in
town for a comedy
club performance.
Dick wasnt present for a status hear-
ing Monday in the county circuit court.
His attorney, Marc Williams, didnt
immediately return a phone message.
Hammers said that under the agree-
ment, Dick also could be summoned for
random drug screenings and must report
to the county prosecutors ofce if he is
arrested or has a run-in with police any-
where. He also must remain employed.
Two previous trial dates were post-
poned.
Hammers said Monday the case isnt
over, adding Dick must comply with the
agreements terms and conditions. If
he doesnt do that ... we get to start from
scratch and we get to try the case,
Hammers said.
Dick had a long-running stint in the
1990s on NBCs NewsRadio. He
briey had his own program on MTV
called The Andy Dick Show. He also
has had roles in several movies, includ-
ing Dude, Wheres My Car? and Old
School.

cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: June 8, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400

creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code

MILLBRAE I
recently attended a
family funeral in
Southern California.
The burial took
place at a long
established Catholic
Cemetery which
later decided to build a Mortuary facility on
their property. I knew from past experience
that this cemetery was well maintained and
had a good reputation. The immediate
family had other loved-ones buried at the
cemetery and wished to return this time too.
With the knowledge that this cemetery had a
Mortuary on the grounds they trusted it to be
convenient and decided to have this facility
handle the funeral arrangements.
Prior to the funeral I had some phone
contact with the Mortuary staff and saw
nothing out of the ordinary. But soon after I
spoke to family members who relayed
troubling details such as higher than average
costs, questionable service and other
apprehensions that raised a red-fag. I
listened carefully taking into consideration
that funerals and arrangements may be
conducted differently in Southern California
(as compared to here on the Peninsula).
Later though I discovered that these
concerns and others were all valid as I
experienced them myself during the funeral.
Coming from the background of owning
a family run and community supportive
funeral home I was embarrassed at what I
saw as a production line process with little
compassion or time to care for the families
this Mortuary is supposed to be serving.
I wondered how the Catholic Church
could allow this Mortuary to operate in such
a manner? Well, I did some research and
discovered that the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles has mortuaries located on a
number of their cemetery properties, but
does not operate them. According to the
Funeral Consumers Alliance of Southern
California the Archdiocese has an
arrangement with Stewart Enterprises
which is a New Orleans based mortuary
corporation. Stewart Enterprises runs a
website called Catholic Mortuaries.com
giving a misleading impression to many that
the Catholic Church operates these facilities.
When patronizing one of these
mortuaries on Catholic cemetery grounds
most families assume that they will be
receiving a level of comfort as they would
from their local church or parish priest.
None of this was evident during my
experience of extremely high costs
(compared to what was received) and the
dis-interested service provided by the
mortuary staff. I dont see this as a failing
of the Catholic cemetery, but of those in
charge of running this mortuary.
The point Im trying to make is to do
your homework and shop for a Funeral
establishment you are comfortable with.
Just because a Mortuary is located on
cemetery property doesnt mean they are
your only choice or that they offer fair costs
or give better quality ofservice. You have
the right to select what ever funeral home
you wish to conduct the arrangements. Talk
to various funeral directors, and ask friends
and families who they would recommend.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANAA, Yemen A Yemeni soldier deto-
nated a bomb hidden in his military uniform
during a rehearsal for a military parade,
killing 96 fellow soldiers and wounding at
least 200 on Monday in one of the deadliest
attacks in the capital in years.
Al-Qaidas branch in Yemen claimed
responsibility, saying in an emailed statement
that the suicide attack was intended to avenge
a U.S.-backed offensive against al-Qaida in a
swath of southern Yemen seized by the mili-
tant movement last year.
The bombing left a scene of carnage, with
scores of bleeding soldiers lying on the
ground as ambulances rushed to the scene.
Several severed heads were on the pavement
amid large pools of blood and human
remains.
This is a real massacre, said Ahmed
Sobhi, one of the soldiers who witnessed the
blast. This is unbelievable. I am still shaking.
The place turned into hell. I thought this only
happens in movies.
Al-Qaida said the bomber was targeting
Yemens defense minister, Maj. Gen.
Mohammed Nasser Ahmed, who had arrived
at the heavily secured city square to greet the
assembled troops just minutes before the blast
ripped through the area. He was unhurt.
Khaled Ali, another soldier, said the explo-
sion was followed by heavy gunre.
In the mayhem, we were all running in all
directions. I saw the guards of the minister
surrounding him and forming a human cor-
don. They were ring in the air, he said.
The bombing comes as Yemeni President
Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi has been pressing
ahead on two difcult fronts battling al-
Qaida in the south and purging loyalists of
ousted leader Ali Abdullah Saleh from mili-
tary and security top posts.
Saleh stepped down in February as part of a
U.S.-backed, power-transfer deal brokered by
Gulf Arab countries aimed at ending political
unrest in the country after a yearlong uprising.
The deal gave Saleh immunity from prosecu-
tion in return for relinquishing his power.
Saleh originally appointed Ahmed to lead
the defense ministry but recently has pressed
from behind the scenes for his dismissal
because Ahmed has been cooperating with
Hadi.
Military ofcials said the bomber belonged
to the Central Security, a paramilitary force
commanded by Salehs nephew Yahia Saleh.
He detonated his explosives in the midst of
the Central Security unit as it received orders
to pass in front of the parade view stand where
both the defense minister and the military
chief of staff were sitting.
They are playing their last cards and black-
mailing the new leadership, said political
analyst Abdel-Bari Taher. This is one desper-
ate attempt by both al-Qaida and Salehs
regime to survive.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEXICO CITY The army charged
Monday that the top leaders of the hyper-vio-
lent Zetas drug cartel ordered underlings to
leave 49 mutilated bodies in a northern Mexico
town square, then had banners hung around the
country denying responsibility in an effort to
have their enemies blamed for the massacre.
The allegation came during a news confer-
ence to present the alleged Zetas local leader
detained in the killings, Daniel Jesus Elizondo
Ramirez. He allegedly got orders from Zetas
leaders Miguel-Angel Trevino Morales and
Heriberto Lazcano to dump the bodies in the
town square of Cadereyta in the border state of
Nuevo Leon.
Brig. Gen. Edgar Luis Villegas said Elizondo
Ramirez, despite his nickname of El Loco, or
the Crazy One, apparently got nervous about
dumping the hacked-up bodies in the town and
instead dumped them on a highway outside
Cadereyta. The bodies with their heads, hands
and feet hacked off were found May 13.
A video posted later on a Mexican website
that covers drug crimes showed gunmen in the
dark dumping the bodies and unfurling a ban-
ner claiming responsibility for the killings
signed by the Zetas, who are locked in a battle
with the rival Gulf and Sinaloa cartels. Villegas
said another suspect who is still at large made
the videotape.
In the days after the bodies were found, ban-
ners appeared on freeway overpasses in other
Mexican states denying that the Zetas were
responsible.
Villegas said the denials were part of a Zetas
strategy to cause confusion among authorities
and the public and put the blame on the car-
tels rivals.
