Fighting for victims

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK The metaphor is
an easy one, overused and perhaps
even a bit overwrought. We are
forging forward into a digital fron-
tier, leaving convention behind,
traveling without guides into an
uncharted virtual land where
progress and prof-
its are forever
around the next
bend.
Sound familiar?
In the 19th cen-
tury, Americans
expanded into a physical frontier
a geographic edge of society brim-
ming with opportunities and dan-
gers and challenges and setbacks.
So began the notion of manifest
destiny: the idea that, no matter
what, the United States pushes out-
ward to the farthest edge of the most
distant place possible.
Today, almost two centuries after
that term was coined, American
expansionism is playing out vigor-
ously at societys latest cutting
edge: the social space of the
Internet. Fridays high-octane, $16
billion IPO of the global juggernaut
that is Mark Zuckerbergs Facebook
is, for better or worse, the most
recent example of how the new
frontier has been cultivated, colo-
nized and commanded by entrepre-
neurial Americans.
As the manufacturing economy
reconfigures, you often hear the
lament that America doesnt make
anything anymore. But then theres
this: Most of the worlds digital cen-
ters of gravity have been, and
remain, American. Apple and
Microsoft. Google and Yahoo.
YouTube and Amazon and eBay.
America expands once again digitally, this time

In its second try at deciding how
to fill an unexpected mid-term
vacancy, the four-member San
Carlos City Council still remained
split Friday on whether to hold a
special election this fall or wait 18
months until the next regularly
scheduled election.
The council has until June 17 to
call a special election or have the
decision default to November 2013,
according to City Attorney Greg
Rubens who said a change in state
law gives a council 60 days from the
April 18 resignation of former
mayor Andy Klein.
The council had called Fridays
special meeting to continue the
unresolved discussion from the pre-
vious Monday night because it
believed there was a 30-day dead-
line. Armed with the new informa-
tion from Rubens, the council opted
to table the decision until the May
29 meeting but not before making
several attempts at compromise that
included possible provisions on an
interim appointment.
I think were all trying to do the
right thing. We just all have different
opinions, said Councilman Ron

With the Bay Area conveniently
located on the West Coast, astro-
nomical neophytes and curious
minds will have an opportunity to
view an annular eclipse of the sun
late Sunday afternoon fog per-
mitting.
The moon will partially block the
sun on Sunday around 5:25 p.m.
with the maximum eclipse at 6:32
p.m., according to astronomer
Jonathan Braidman at Oaklands
Chabot Space and Science Center.
Since the moon is not quite large
enough to completely block out the
sun it leaves a ring, which according
to Braidman, doesnt happen very
often.

Uh oh! Robot down,
Christopher Myers said when a
ArtBot traveled off the white sheets
of paper on the ground.
Made of surplus/recycled motors,
switches and laser-cut parts, the art
bots had markers attached thanks to
rubber bands. When placed on the
paper, beautiful color designs were
created. Those designs could be
altered by adding a weight to the
motor.

Katherine Mahoney was a chatty little girl
who got hurt a lot.
As a result, she spent plenty of time with
doctors. She even toyed with the idea of grow-
ing up to be a pediatrician. As she got older,
her focus changed to becoming a nurse. While
doctors were often really busy, Mahoney said
nurses had more time to make her feel com-
fortable. Thats why, after graduating from the
Caada Middle College program, Mahoney
plans to study nursing.
With her enthusiasm to learn and her
incredible personality, Katherine has been a
pleasure to teach and has been a wonderful
part of the Middle College program, said
teacher Marcello Di Cicco. Through
Katherines determination to succeed, she has
taken challenging courses and has improved
her college transcript since rst coming into
the program. Her hard work and consistency
have paid off where she has earned her way
into the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
Hawaii is lucky to have such a beautiful smile
coming their way.
Mahoney enrolled in Orion School, where
she attended through fourth grade when she
started classes at St. Pius School. Her parents
wanted a different challenge for Mahoney.
Mahoney played volleyball and basketball at
St. Pius and swam for fun on the side.
When it came time for high school,
Mahoney decided to attend Woodside High
School. While there, she joined a community
service group called the Octagon Club and a
club that supports the Invisible Children
organization. Mahoney had been nervous to
go from such a small school to such a big one.
While the rst two weeks sometimes caused
her to question the decision, Mahoney was
ultimately happy at Woodside.
She was never really involved in school,
however. She heard about the Caada Middle
College program from a friend and decided to
go for it. While her mom was supportive, her
father wasnt sure at rst. For Mahoney, the
freedom to design her own schedule and par-
ticipate in college-level classes was a wel-
comed challenge that taught her the impor-
tance of responsibility and self motivation.
She loved sleeping in and got her license her
junior year, the year she switched to the pro-
gram.
It was intimidating at rst. Mahoney was
self-conscious about being 16 in a college
class. Then she realized people were nice and
willing to help, which made her more com-
fortable.
Regardless of where she was attending high
school, Mahoney kept up with community
service opportunities like Project Read,
Second Harvest and helping her church.
Her decision to change schools means
Mahoney will graduate and start school with a
little over a half year in credits. Being at
Caada helped Mahoney challenge herself.
Last year, she planned to stay locally for
school. Now shes excited to study in a new
place and give living on her own a chance.
Caada Middle Colleges graduation will
be held 3 p.m. Thursday, May 24 at the school
theater, 4200 Farm Hill Blvd., Redwood City.
Seats are rst come, rst served.
Great Grads is in its seventh year proling one
graduating senior from each of our local

pate. Those that choose to participate are

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A man accused of firing seven shots at his
ex-girlfriends San Mateo home, hitting a
parked car with one and sending three into a
bedroom wall, pleaded not guilty Friday to
illegally discharging a firearm and being a
felon in possession of a weapon.
Alexander Michael Osborne, 26, waived
his right to a speedy trial and will stand trial
Sept. 4.
Osborne is accused of
shooting at the South
Norfolk Street residence
Feb. 21, believing the
woman was inside.
San Mateo police
arrested Osborne and
another man, Ismael
Garcia, days later, as
they fled a South San Francisco resi-
dence.
Police determined Garcia was not a sus-
pect in the shooting but that he was wanted
for violating the terms of his probation.
Police booked Osborne into custody on
suspicion of attempted murder but he was
formally charged with the lesser offense.
He remains in custody in lieu of $100,000
bail.

SACRAMENTO Californias nonparti-
san legislative analyst said Friday the states
budget decit could be higher than Gov. Jerry
Brown estimated earlier this week but also
found the administrations economic and rev-
enue forecasts were reasonable.
The report said the anticipated $15.7 billion
budget decit could grow by more than $1 bil-
lion if the governors revenue projections
from defunct community redevelopment
agencies and other sources were too opti-
mistic.
Legislative analyst Mac Taylor said the state
nance department may be overstating by
more than $900 million how much property
tax revenue and assets the state could collect
after its elimination of the redevelopment
agencies, a move approved last year as part of
Browns effort to send more money to schools,
law enforcement and other local services.
Yet the analysts ofce also said tax revenue
in the scal year that starts July 1 is likely to
remain volatile and could be several billion
dollars lower or higher than projected because
of numerous tax and economic factors. The
uncertainty creates challenges for accurate
budget forecasts, the report said. Among the
uncertainties in play is what the Legislature
will do with Browns proposed budget.
Democratic lawmakers, who control the
Assembly and Senate, have said they will try
to reduce some of the proposed spending cuts
and could even cancel Browns effort to
include a $1 billion reserve fund.
Analyst: Gov.s revenue projections reasonable

SACRAMENTO Californias unemploy-
ment rate dipped slightly in April to 10.9 per-
cent, the state said Friday, as a federal survey
showed 20,000 new jobs were created.
The states jobless rate had dropped below 11
percent during the rst two months of the year,
only to bounce back up to 11 percent in March.
A lower rate is always good news, but it just
gets us back down where we were in January,
February, said Dennis Meyers, an economist
for the state Department of Finance. I think
its kind of symptomatic of this kind of low boil
were on.
The nations unemployment rate also fell in
April, to 8.1 percent. Last month, employers in
California added a total of more than 19,000
jobs in four categories mining and logging,
trade, transportation and utilities, and profes-
sional and business services.
The gures also showed the subcategory of
professional, scientic, and technical services
jobs has now regained all the high-wage, high-
tech jobs lost in the recession.
However, nonfarm payroll jobs decreased
overall by 4,200 in April, breaking a string of
eight consecutive monthly gains, said Kevin
Callori, a spokesman for the state Economic
Development Department.
Seven sectors lost a combined 23,300 jobs in
April, including construction, manufacturing,
information, nancial activities, educational
and health services, leisure and hospitality, and
government.

NATION
By Ben Feller and Jamey Keaten
WASHINGTON In his rst visit to
the Oval Office, French President
Francois Hollande declared he will with-
draw all French combat troops from
Afghanistan by years end, making clear
to President Barack Obama the timeline
for ending the U.S.-led war will not
trump a campaign pledge that helped
Hollande gain his new job.
Obama nodded along on Friday, know-
ing what was coming, but did not other-
wise directly respond. Heading into a
NATO summit on the course of the war
and beyond, the White House has sought
to emphasize the war coalition will
remain rm even as nations pull back.
And Hollande assured Obama that France
was not out to cut and run.
We will continue to support
Afghanistan in a different way. Our sup-
port will take a different format,
Hollande said. Im pretty sure I will nd
the right means so that our allies can con-
tinue with their mission and at the same
time I can comply to the promise I made
to the French people.
Frances declaration has signicance
far beyond its borders. Hollandes move
means France, one of the top contributors
of troops to the war, will be removing the
combat forces a full two years before the
timeline agreed to by allies in the coali-
tion. That could shift more of the burden
to those allies and give them reason to
hasten their own exit.
Hollande later told reporters that some
residual number of Frances current
3,300 troops will remain in Afghanistan
after this year to provide training and to
bring home equipment. But he alluded to
the reaction that Frances fast-track with-
drawal may get from its NATO allies
when they gather in Chicago Sunday and
Monday.
Our decision will be taken, he said. I
cant tell you that it will be applauded, but
it will be taken.
One high-ranking French diplomat,
speaking only on condition of anonymity
to provide details of closed-door talks,
told the AP that France had not gotten any
serious pushback from American ofcials
about Hollandes early pullout plan other
than they did not want Paris to prosely-
tize the quick pullout idea among other
NATO allies in Afghanistan.

100,000 jobs have been created or
retained on his watch. And Michigan
Gov. Rick Snyder promotes a state budg-
et thats on solid ground for the rst time
in a decade.
All that optimism
from Republican
governors in key
presidential election
battlegrounds con-
flicts with the pes-
simistic message that
Mitt Romney is
spreading. The GOP
presidential candi-
date is focused on
the nations fragile economic rebound as
he works to persuade Americans to
dump President Barack Obama.
America counted on President
Obama to rescue the economy, tame the
decit and help create jobs but instead
we are enduring the most tepid recov-
ery in modern history, Romney said this
week in Des Moines, Iowa. Thats the
same state where GOP Gov. Terry
Branstad has been crowing about an
unemployment rate that has dropped to
5.1 percent from 5.9 percent a year ago.

Amid evidence cache in Martin case, questions nag
ORLANDO, Fla. Prosecutors in the Trayvon Martin
case dumped a mountain of evidence on the public this week.
In many criminal cases, that would bring
clarity, start answering the basic ques-
tions.
But no one not pundits, attorneys or
the public can safely say were even
close to knowing exactly how and why
neighborhood watch volunteer George
Zimmerman shot and killed the 17-year-
old in the black hoodie.
So many aspects of the Feb. 26 alterca-
tion and shooting in Sanford remain
muddy. Who threw the rst punch? Why did Zimmerman
leave his car?
This cache of recordings, photos and statements is far from
all the evidence. But it suggests there are answers we may
never truly get.
Maryland court: Gay divorce
OK while gay marriage isnt
ANNAPOLIS, Md. Marylands highest court ruled
Friday that same-sex couples can divorce in the state even
though Maryland does not yet permit same-sex marriages.
The Court of Appeals ruled 7-0 that couples who have a
valid marriage from another state can divorce in Maryland.
The case involved two women who were married in California
and denied a divorce in 2010 by a Maryland judge.
A valid out-of-state same-sex marriage should be treated
by Maryland courts as worthy of divorce, according to the
applicable statues, reported cases, and court rules of this
state, the court concluded in a 21-page ruling.

for a screening and panel discussion of
Miss Representation.
Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel
Newsom, the film exposes how mainstream
media contribute to the under-representation
of women in positions of power and influ-
ence in America. The film challenges the
medias limited and often disparaging por-
trayals of women and girls, which make it
difficult for women to achieve leadership
positions and for the average woman to feel
powerful herself.
Post-screening, a student moderated dis-
cussion with subject-matter experts dis-

CITY
GOVERNMENT
Giving down-
town Burlingame a
pedestrian-friendly
facelift comes with a
$15.9 million price
tag, a cost that could
be covered through a combination of city
funds, parking rates and money raised
through assessing property owners.
On Monday, the Burlingame City
Council will hold a public hearing to con-
sider forming an assessment district for
downtown Burlingame Avenue streetscape
improvements. If approved, the assessment
would raise $335,787 annually, for up to 30
years, for a total of $4.475 million.
Weighted ballots were sent via certified
mail to all property owners April 5. Ballots
are weighted based on the assessment
amount of the parcel. Fifty ballots were
mailed. When the staff report was released
May 21, half of the ballots had been
received. To complete the formation, the
council must review ballots and determine
if a majority is in opposition. If the weight-
ed vote has more opposition, the city can-
not create an assessment district. If thats
not the case, the city can consider forming
the district.
Previously, the council approved chang-
ing the parking time limits and rates in the
area of Burlingame Avenue in downtown.
Raising $450,000 annually, the option to
raise parking rates will allow the city to put
smart meters on Burlingame Avenue but
not in the rest of downtown. The increased
rate provides the income needed to cover
some streetscape improvements.
The plan calls for a 25 cent increase to
the cost of hourly parking in the core of
downtown and smaller increases in the sur-
rounding areas. The original proposal,
which went before the council in February,
called for extending the hours people
would need to pay to park to include 6 p.m.
to 8 p.m. The most recent approval does
not extend the later hours.
The council meets 7 p.m. Monday, May
21 at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road.
South San Francisco Mayor Rich
Garbarino will present the State of the
City during the City Council meeting held
at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 23 at the
Municipal Services Building, 33 Arroyo
Drive, South San Francisco.
The South San Francisco City Council
will consider approving new rates for solid
waste collection by the Scavenger
Company.
As proposed, the increase would be split
over two years. The first year increase
would by 3.94 percent, for a total of 4.29
percent. If not split, the rate increase would
be 7.87 percent to 8.59 percent depending
on the can size.
The council meets 7 p.m. Wednesday,
May 23 at the Municipal Services
Building, 33 Arroyo Drive, South San
Francisco.
The Redwood City Council will dis-
cussion and possibly select a developer for
the Depot Circle project and potentially
direct staff to create a development agree-
ment. In December, the council asked
Hunter/Storm and Lowe Enterprises to
submit proposals, both of which will be
detailed at Monday nights meeting. The
so-called Block 2 is bordered by Jefferson
Avenue, Middlefield Road and the Caltrain
tracks while Depot Circle is the intersec-
tion of Winslow and Hamilton streets. the
proposals include office and retail space
and a hotel.

ATLANTA For the rst time, the govern-
ment is proposing that all baby boomers get
tested for hepatitis C.
Anyone born from 1945 to 1965 should get
a one-time blood test to see if they have the
liver-destroying virus, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention said in draft recom-
mendations issued Friday.
Baby boomers account for more than 2 mil-
lion of the 3.2 million Americans infected
with the blood-borne virus. It can take decades
to cause liver damage, and many people dont
know theyre infected.
CDC officials believe the new measure
could lead 800,000 more baby boomers to get
treatment and could save more than 120,000
lives.
The CDC views hepatitis C as an unrecog-
nized health crisis for the country, and we
believe the time is now for a bold response,
said Dr. John W. Ward, the CDCs hepatitis
chief.
Several developments drove the CDCs
push for wider testing, he said.
Recent data has shown that from 1999 to
2007, the number of Americans dying from
hepatitis C-related diseases nearly doubled.
Also, two drugs hit the market last year that
promise to cure many more people than was
previously possible.
The virus can gradually scar the liver and
lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer, and is the
leading cause of liver transplant. It can trigger
damage in other parts of the body as well. All
told, more than 15,000 Americans die each
year from hepatitis C-related illnesses,
according to the CDC.
CDC tells baby boomers:
Get tested for hepatitis C

OPINION 9
$40,000 per ticket fundraiser
Editor,
George Clooney recently hosted a
$40,000 per ticket fundraiser for
President Obama attended by the
Hollywood elite. The 150 guests
attending raised $15 million for his re-
election campaign, a record amount.
What a large amount of money each of
these folks spent for the privilege of
being associated with Mr. Obama.
I cannot help but think of the many
uses the nonprots I am aware of in our
community could do with just a little of
this money. Rebuilding Together the
Peninsula could repair many homes for
the needy with $40,000. Second
Harvest could put food on the table for
the elderly for weeks with $40,000.
The Ombudsman Program could extend
their ability to monitor the many retire-
ment facilities, where so many of our
frail elderly are cared for and often
abused, with an additional $40,000.
Our local HICAP program could use
$40,000 to reach out to the many
underserved Medicare eligible recipi-
ents in our community. You get the
idea.
If the same Hollywood elite would
just donate to any of these worthy pro-
grams, so many could be helped.
But I suppose they would not get to
go to George Clooneys home, they
would not get the press and bright
lights and they would not get the recog-
nition that comes from being seen with
the president. They would get the per-
sonal satisfaction of knowing that they
actually helped the truly needy in a
direct way. I guess we all have our pri-
orities.

Bad political math
Editor,
Just received in the mail a political
ier which stated, When the state
faced deep cuts to balance the budget,
(name withheld here) cut his pay by 20
percent. Inside of it is the copy of an
actual public document dated Nov. 23,
2009, in which (name withheld here)
wrote, I respectfully submit to you a
request to reduce my salary by 10 per-
cent, for a cumulative total reduction of
20 percent, effective immediately. On
Feb. 20, 2009 I voluntarily reduced my
salary by 10 percent the day the budget
went into effect.
If his salary had been $10,000 on
Feb. 19, 2009, then cut by 10 percent,
on Feb. 21, he would have been paid
$9,000 as the budget went into effect.
Next, in November, he took another 10
percent cut of $9,000 or $900 for a new
pay of $8,100, or a cumulative cut of
only 19 percent. Sure, he asked for a
second 10 percent cut for a cumulative
reduction of 20 percent, but that was
mathematically impossible. The second
9 percent requested cut came after the
previous weeks announcement of state
furloughs.
If this is the fuzzy math and play on
words that our elected ofcials pull on
us, it is no wonder we are in such big
trouble. By the way, since December
2009, the month after this dance of his,
his compatriots have been paid $95,291
plus expenses. Are we to assume he is
really being paid $76,736?

Letters to the editor
By Mark Wandro
R
umor has it there is a major
union-busting action going on
at Mills-Peninsula. Sutter is
playing hardball with the RNs, taking
away the 12-hour shift pay and raising
health insurance premiums without
negotiation. And the nurses fought back
with a one-day strike. The fact is Sutter
does not want to pay overtime for time
worked over eight hours. It doesnt
want experienced RNs earning more
than some of their managers. It doesnt
want to pay for health benets, even
though its supposed business is provid-
ing health care.
Rumor has it Sutter wants us to be
one big happy family working for the
satisfaction of the patients, striving
toward magnet status in partnership
with all of the hospital departments.
The fact is, layoffs, increased work-
loads and program cuts are hurting
morale and making it more difcult for
staff to spend quality time with
patients.
Rumor has it that Sutter wants to
keep the staff under its thumb, subject
to its need for more corporate prot.
Without the union contracting with it to
pay decent wages and provide
respectable benets, it will provide as
little as possible for their employees.
The fact is, California Nurses
Association, the reg-
istered nurse union,
is asking for no
more than a 2 per-
cent raise and the
right to keep the
benets it has suc-
cessfully negotiated
for over the years.
Without CNA, all
classes of employees will suffer. When
employees are not treated fairly, morale
declines and patient care suffers.
Rumor has it that Sutters nonprot
status is not what you might think it is.
When a company does not have share-
holders, it can be called nonprot.
Sutter is private, without shareholders,
and rumor has it that all the big money
goes to corporate salaries and the home
ofce in Sacramento.
More than a rumor, Sutter lied about
RN salaries and health benets in its
radio ads. Is this not unethical behav-
ior? Who can we turn to? To each other,
for there is strength in numbers. To our
patients, who want more than just to be
satised with their care, they want to
be healthier as a result of good care. To
the public, because they need to know
health services will be in their commu-
nity for life, not just as long as they are
protable.
The fact is that Sutter plans to close
the emergency department at Mills by
the end of the year, but have been
afraid to tell the community. Seniors
and others in San Mateo depend on the
existence of this resource. Years ago,
MPHS promised to keep it open.
Rumor has it it will reopen it as an
urgent care with limited hours and the
right to refuse service to those who
have the wrong insurance, or no insur-
ance.
So lets stop the rumor mill. We need
to restore respect and honesty and work
together to achieve our goals of safe,
affordable patient care. If this means
transforming our leadership into stew-
ards of a healing institution rather than
executives coldly running a business,
then so be it. Dont take it out on the
nurses who deserve decent pay and
benets for providing a service that all
will need at some time.
Mark Wandro lives with his wife, Shelley,
in San Mateo, where he grew up. He has
worked as an ED RN for the past 30
years at Mills-Peninsula. He has three
grown children, three grandchildren and
one great-granddaughter.
Rumor has it ...
My country,
right or wrong!
S
o, Jamie Dimon of J.P. Morgan, the one most admired
for helping save the world nancial system from melt-
down at the beginning of the Great Recession, decid-
ed to lobby against any attempts by the current national admin-
istration to curb future nancial abuses and continued his com-
panys, currently, altogether legal
practices. With the entirely pre-
dictable result of a new loss of
more than $20 billion over time to
his company, its stockholders and
our economy.
Will we ever learn? Has there
ever been a more destructive motto
recorded in history since Ancient
Greece than, My country (or eco-
nomic system) right or wrong?
Its been the foundation of the
most oppressive eras in all of his-
tory, especially in empires from
Rome through Nazi Germany and
has seeped over into our own land, as the last century has
shown us getting involved in some wars and distribution of our
military about the globe that have no true justication in the
needs for our own national security.
Perhaps worse yet, today, its applied to lazy voters responses
to critiques of the economic and political status quo in our own
land. Rather than examine, reect and respond, its much sim-
pler to leave our lives of 24/7 wall-to-wall entertainment long
enough to go out into ones backyard and scream at the top of
ones lungs pejorative answers, such as You Socialist!
Karl Schurz, a German immigrant who became a super-patri-
ot to his adopted land, probably embarrassed the hell out of
such pseudo-patriots when he interpreted the motto into its
patriotic meaning in 1899.
And, what said he? Our country when right to be kept
right; when wrong to be put right! Thats true patriotism!
And, the lack of such patriotism is what is, and will continue
to keep our country from remaining the greatest in history, as
partisanship poisons our waters and different interest groups
spend billions of dollars striving to lobby legislation to their
advantage, clinging to what they have and grasping for the
soul of America.
On the other hand, China by no stretch of the imagination
a Marxist Communist land is not run by competing political
parties or have meaningful elections but is directed by trained
economic technocrats who shift resources where they hope is
the best for their own national development. They entertain gov-
ernmental structures that will, hopefully, tend to enhance their
own movements toward a market economy and an open society,
such as we enjoy.
Meanwhile, our billions in campaign funding is sinking into
swamps of ignorance in a campaign that is, arguably, the most
petty, vile and the vary nadir of elections cycles in all of politi-
cal history. It is one in which our irresponsible and overblown
media dedicate meaningless trivia to the front pages and televi-
sion hosts of the left and the right discourse at a kindergarten
level.
Where has China been learning these growth policies? As,
we, after our Revolutionary War, begged borrowed and stole
nancial, commercial and industrial ideas and developments
from Europe and its universities, so have the Asiatic lands, espe-
cially Japan and China, been doing the same with us.
So, our greatest engine of economic growth in history is
becoming our own nemesis, as we have been becoming more
steeped in a growingly ignorant electorate in a growingly politi-
cally, legislatively self-serving, distorted voting system, with
partisanship rapidly become a chronic, even lethal national dis-
ease.
The umbrella economic truth is, because of the moneyed cor-
ruption of our electoral system, we are already have a political
infection and, if we do not act in concert in solving this poten-
tially lethal disease, we will continue to be plagued with prob-
lems brought on by both major parties from tax and subsidy
favoritism at the top and over-generosity of entitlements for the
rest.
To stem the disease, we need to forget extreme partisanship
and attempts to evangelically Christianize our entire land and
strike a Grand Bargain. We must humanely review and adjust
entitlements, cut out the abuses of our economic system with
unfair tax breaks and subsidies and such rulings as the Supreme
Courts Citizens United decision, attack the deadly decits,
more realistically fund our military, avoid stupid wars and do
our patriot best to get the nation back on a fair track. In other
words, a fully shared patriotic grassroots movement by all eco-
nomic classes, if you will.
Do I really believe this could happen? No! But, I can dream,
cant I?
Answer this: Is it more patriotic to treat objections to the sta-
tus quo as an attack upon the our economic system or to heed
Karl Schurz, when wrong, correct it?
If you run out into the backyard and scream out at the top of
your lungs: Socialism! your answer will be blowin in the
wind to the future hopes for our country.

Its going to take more than
Facebooks initial public offering to
push the stock market higher.
Facebook shares rose 23 cents above
their $38 offering price. It seemed like
everything else fell.
The Dow Jones industrial average has
been in a slump over the past two weeks
as traders saw an escalating risk that
Greece could leave the euro, causing
more disruptions in markets.
Remember the go-go days of May 1,
2012? The Dow was up 8.7 percent for
the year. After Friday, its up just 1.2
percent.
On Friday the Dow Jones industrial
average dropped 73.11 points, to close
at 12,369.38. It fell 3.5 percent for the
week. The Dow has now declined on 12
of the last 13 trading days.
Nine of the 10 industry groups in the
Standard & Poors 500 index fell.
Financials dropped the most, 1.1 per-
cent.
First, Facebook.
Trading for the years most eagerly
awaited initial public offering was
delayed about 30 minutes because of a
glitch at Nasdaq. Nasdaq said the prob-
lem was with sending messages about
whether trades had been executed. It
was almost two-and-a-half hours before
it said its trade messages were working
normally.
The glitch sent shares of Nasdaq
OMX Group Inc., parent company of
the Nasdaq market, down 4.4 percent.
Facebook shares were priced at $38
and initially traded as high as $45. They
closed at $38.23.
Europe was the bigger worry for
investors. The Fitch ratings agency
dropped Greece to the lowest possible
grade for a country not in default
Thursday. Fitch said Greeces departure
from the euro would be probable if
elections next month do not reverse
political trends in Greece, which have
brought in politicians opposed to the
terms of Europes bailout.
Also, ratings agency Moodys down-
graded 16 Spanish banks late Thursday,
three days after downgrading Italys,
noting they are vulnerable to huge loss-
es on government debt.
Representatives of the G-8 are meet-
ing this weekend at Camp David, look-
ing for assurances that leaders in
Europe can contain damage if Greece
leaves the euro.

Big movers
By Barbara Ortutay
NEW YORK It was barely a like
and definitely not a love from
Facebook investors as the online social
networks stock failed to live up to the
hype in its trading debut Friday.
One of the most anticipated IPOs in
Wall Street history ended on a at note,
with Facebooks stock closing at $38.23,
up 23 cents from Thursday nights pric-
ing.
That meant the company founded in
2004 in a Harvard dorm room has a mar-
ket value of about $105 billion, more
than Amazon.com, McDonalds and
Silicon Valley icons Hewlett-Packard
and Cisco.
It also gave 28-year-old CEO Mark
Zuckerberg a stake worth
$19,252,698,725.50.
Going public is an important mile-
stone in our history, Zuckerberg said
before he pushed a button that rang
Nasdaqs opening bell from company
headquarters at 1 Hacker Way in Menlo
Park. But heres the thing: Our mission
isnt to be a public company. Our mis-
sion is to make the world more open and
connected.
But for many seeking a big rst-day
pop in Facebooks share price, the
increase of six-tenths of one percent was
a letdown.
This is like kissing your sister, said
John Fitzgibbon, founder of IPO Scoop,
a research rm. With all the drumbeats
and hype, I dont think therell be bar-
room bragging tonight.
Added Nick Einhorn, an analyst with
IPO advisory rm Renaissance Capital:
It wasnt quite as exciting as it could
have been. But I dont think we should
view it as a failure.
Indeed, the small jump in price could
be seen as an indication that Facebook
and the investment banks that arranged
the IPO priced the stock in an appropri-
ate range.
It was also good for ordinary
investors, who are mostly shut out from
the IPO price and have to buy the stock
in the open market on day one. They got
a chance to buy all day at a price not
much above $38.
And it was good for early investors in
the company, who owned more than half
the 421 million shares made available in
the IPO. Had the stock shot to $60
Friday morning, those early investors
would have felt they hadnt gotten
enough money for their stakes.
The 421 million shares that were sold
fetched $16 billion and represented 15
percent of the companys stock. Facebook
got $7 billion, and the early investors $9
billion.
The other 85 percent of Facebooks
stock is owned by Zuckerberg and other
Facebook executives, employees and
early investors. In comparison, Google
offered just 7.2 percent of its stock when
it went public in 2004. Its stock rose 18
percent on day one.
Facebook stock closes nearly flat
Q: So why did Facebook go public?
A: For the same reason many other fast-growing
companies do: to raise money. Selling stock to the
public gives companies money to run their
businesses, expand and buy other companies.
Sometimes companies go public even if they have
no plans for the money. Facebook says it wants to
establish a public market for its shares in case it
needs to raise money from investors in the future.
Q: What happens in an IPO?
A: The company sells ownership stakes to the public
for the rst time. Facebook sold 421 million shares.
That represented a 15 percent stake in the company.
The sale raised $16 billion.
Q: Who owned Facebook shares before the IPO?
A: Well-connected investors, employees and top
insiders like company directors.They sold 241 million
shares, or more than half the total sold.The company
sold shares at $38 each. At that price, those early
owners pocketed $9 billion, or an average of $230
million each. The company will get $7 billion.
Q: Who bought the shares?
A: In an IPO, there are two buyers. The rst are the
investment banks that helped the company le IPO
documents with regulators and contacted pension
funds, mutual funds and other big institutions to
gauge a price for the shares.These investment banks
are called underwriters. In Facebooks case, 33 banks
helped; Morgan Stanley took the lead role. The
underwriters guaranteed the company that they
would buy all the shares at the IPO price.
Q: When did the underwriters buy the shares?
A: Before the shares started trading publicly.
Facebooks underwriters sold the sellers shares
Thursday night. But rst, the underwriters had to
negotiate a price with a second group of buyers
the institutions that had promised to buy shares
from them.They did that Thursday, settling on a price
of $38.
Q: Is this negotiated price the IPO price?
A: Yes. But thats not what the underwriters paid the
company and insiders. After settling on an IPO price,
the underwriters subtracted a commission for their
work. A document Facebook led with regulators
didnt say how much it would pay. But with big IPOs
like Facebooks, the commission is typically 3 percent.
At $38, this means Morgan Stanley and the other
underwriters would get $1.14 off for each share.
Theyd pay $36.86 a share. Underwriters have ve
days to transfer the money to the company and
other sellers.
Q: What do underwriters do with their shares?
A: They sell them to big institutions, along with some
favored individual investors, before public trading
starts. In Facebooks case, all the underwriters shares
were sold by Friday morning before the stock
exchanges opened at 9:30 a.m. in New York.
Q: Why didnt Facebook begin trading then?
A: The new owners who want to sell their shares had
to call their traders rst. And the traders had to call
market makersat the Nasdaq stock market, where
Facebooks shares are listed. Market makers are rms
that agree to hold shares in a company so buyers
and sellers can easily trade them.The market makers
determine a price between what most buyers and
sellers are demanding.That took two hours on Friday
morning, after which the rst Facebook shares began
exchanging hands.
Q: So Facebook is now worth more than $100
billion. Whats that mean, exactly?
A: This is the companys market value. Its what
investors think the whole company would be worth
if all its shares were trading.The 421 million Facebook
shares sold in the IPO at $38 works out to $16 billion.
Applying the same price to the rest of the shares
yields $88 billion. Add the two gures, and you get
$104 billion.
IPO Q&A
SACRAMENTO Apparently,
California Gov. Jerry Brown forgot to
rent The Social Network.
In an appearance Friday on CBS This
Morning, the California governor said
his state is still the land of innovation and
where Facebook was invented.
He added: Not in Texas, not in
Arizona, not in Manhattan and certainly
not, you know, under the White House or
the Congress.
But interviewer Charlie Rose pointed
out that CEO Mark Zuckerberg and oth-
ers developed the precursor to the iconic
social network at
Harvard University in
Cambridge, Mass.
Brown responded
that the Facebooks
inventors quickly
came to California,
where all the other
innovative people
are.
The Menlo Park-
based company began selling stock
Friday. Brown and other ofcials hope it
could bring in as much as $2.1 billion in
tax revenue for California.

Melissa Mighty McMorrow stood next to
the referee in a boxing ring in Frankfurt,
Germany Wednesday night, with WBO and
WIBF yweight champion Susi Kentikian on
the other side.
Kentikian, the undefeated, 16-time defend-
ing yweight champion, had just endured 10
rounds of boxing with the upstart McMorrow
and both now stood and waited to hear the
judges decision.
Not understanding German and not being
able to see Kentikians reaction, McMorrow
was not sure if she won or she lost.
All I [understood] was majority deci-
sion, McMorrow said. I knew that much. I
felt pretty condent about it. I felt I won most
of the rounds.
Eddie Croft, her trainer from San Mateos B
Street Boxing gym, was in the corner. He
understood the scores in German but it wasnt
until he saw Kentikians reaction that he knew
the result.
When they said (in German) new champ,
I didnt understand, Croft said. I looked at
[Kentikian] for her reaction. When I saw her
head go down and her shoulders slump, I
started celebrating.
Melissa was looking at me because she
didnt understand either. Once she saw my
reaction, she started going crazy.
Three months after losing a controversial
decision to Mexicos Arely Mucino,
McMorrow went to Germany and handed
Kentikian her rst defeat in 30 ghts and
ended her run of 16-straight title defenses.
96-94, 96-94, 95-95. McMorrow is the new
World Boxing Organization and Womens
International Boxing Federation world cham-
pion.
A lot of the stuff I was training on was
starting to come out in this fight, said
McMorrow, who improved her record to 7-3-

As it turns out, sometimes soccer is fair and
uncruel.
Consider last weekends game between the
San Jose Earthquakes and Chivas USA. The
team from down south got on the board just
four minutes in when James Riley ran down a
ball on the overlap on the right and hooked in
a low cross that Jose Erick Correa nished
from seven yards, curling the ball past Quakes
goalkeeper Jon Busch and just inside the far
post.
Wait That wasnt supposed to happen;
not with a Chivas team that had only scored
ve goals coming into the contest. But it did.
And from that moment on, San Jose was on
the offensive, pressing the issue and looking
for the equalizing goal.
For roughly 80 minutes, it appeared the
Quakes would suffer an embarrassing loss to
team that should have handled easily and
would disappointedly suffer their rst home
loss of the season and their second straight.
But credit head coach Frank Yallop for
pulling the right string at the right time and
getting a healthy Alan Gordon in the game for
Tressor Moreno and then three minutes later,
giving upstart Sam Garza a chance in the mid-
eld. The two attacking players re-energized
the San Jose offense and with four minutes
left in regulation, combined ala Batman and
Robin to save the day and steal a point in a 1-
1 draw.
I am very happy that we got a point out of
the game, Yallop said afterwards. It shows
that we always have ght in us and we arent
going to quit. We didnt play our game today,
but its a good sign that we fought to get a
point, especially in against a team from the
Western Conference.
We were struggling with our pace in the
rst half, Garza said. Coach (Frank Yallop)
told me to go run out wide and look to make
some crosses. We brought in a little more
speed in the second half and created some
chances. You have to credit Chivas (USA) for
staying tight back there. We fought for that
draw. I tried to sub on and bring some energy
and speed, and luckily it worked as we were
able to equalize and get a point.
The beauty of the draw lays in San Joses
new-found depth. Not too long ago, a come-

The boys tennis and girls gymnastics sea-
sons are now ofcially over. And a couple of
county athletes left their marks on the Central
Coast Section tournaments.
In boys tennis, after all the local individuals
were eliminated, Michael Hoffman and William
Boyd of Menlo tennis nished as the runners-up
in the CCS boys doubles tournament.
They fell to No. 3 seed and CCS champion
Spencer Simonides and Anthony Bello of Los
Altos 6-1, 6-3.
Hoffman and Boyd came in representing the
Knights as the No. 4 seed and had a huge 6-2,
6-1 victory over No. 2 Bellarmines Rohan
Shankar and Nick Chu in the seminals to lock
up a spot in the CCS nal. Before then, the
Menlo team made quick work of Montereys
Darren Arakawa and Joseph Quario 6-0, 6-2 in
the rst round and had to deal with another
good Bells team in the second round. Sean
McGrath and Max Heerinckx took Hoffman
and Boyd to the limit in the second round.
Eventually, a 6-4 third set was the difference for
the Knights.

There wasnt a terribly strong presence for the

up to Saturdays Preakness more than Doug
ONeill.
The trainer of Kentucky Derby winner Ill
Have Another has spent nearly two weeks in
Baltimore, hanging with Ravens coach John
Harbaugh, throwing out the rst ball at an
Orioles game, and hammering away at
Maryland crabs for the rst time. He also hud-
dled with Secretariats jockey Ron Turcotte
about racing strategy, held daily news brien-
gs at the stakes barn and was forthcoming
when asked about his history of violations for
giving his horses improper drugs.
Through it all, ONeill and his crew are
enjoying the moment in their own California
free-wheeling style .
Its been a blast. Incredible. Weve taken
advantage of it, and done some cool things,
ONeill said Friday morning, wearing a
Preakness cap signed by area school children.
They just really rolled out the red carpet for
us. Obviously, its a lot of fun when your
horse is doing as good as he is.
Ill Have Another has been doing just ne
since catching the speedy Bodemeister in the
nal 100 yards to win the Derby by 1 1/2
lengths two weeks ago.
He looks fantastic. Great energy, ONeill
said. Hes maintained his beautiful, long
stride. Were just very happy with each day
that goes by.
Life can become a whole lot happier for

STANFORD Senior Josh
Owens, one of the key cogs in
Stanfords NIT championship run,
is one of 44 players selected to par-
ticipate in an NBA Draft combine
over the weekend at the PNY Center
in East Rutherford, N.J. the univer-
sity announced on Friday.
The event is organized by the
Brooklyn Nets, in conjunction with
the Houston Rockets.
The workout will feature 44
prospects divided into four group
sessions of 11 players, with two ses-
sions taking place on both Saturday
and Sunday.
The players will be evaluated and
put through agility tests similar to
the NBA Combine in Chicago, and
also will conduct interviews with
the media, scouts, agents and team
front ofce representatives.
Forty minutes of the one-hour
session will be dedicated to skill-
work, while the rest will be devoted
to live ve-on-ve competition.
The University of California at
Berkeleys Jorge Gutierrez, a four-
time Defensive Player of the Year
for his team, is part of the combine
group as well.
A two-time all-conference selec-
tion, Owens anchored Stanford's
frontline last year, ranking third in
scoring (11.6 ppg) and first in
rebounding (5.8 rpg) while starting
all 37 games. Active at both ends of
the oor, Owens also led the team in
steals (45) and ranked second in
blocks (26). Owens surpassed the
1,000-point career mark in a 92-88
overtime win over Illinois State on
March 19 and nished with 1,044 to
become the 40th player in school
history to reach the prestigious scor-
ing mark. Even more impressive,
Owens was the 21st player in school
history to compile at least 1,000
points and 500 rebounds in his
career, ending with 564 total boards.
Gutierrez became the rst player
in conference history to claim both
the Player of the Year and Defensive
Player of the Year award. He did it
in the same season. He was a Pac-12
All-Conference rst team selection
and earned all-academic honorable
mention. His postseason activities
included invitations to the NABC
Reese's All-Star Team and the
Portsmount Invitational
Tournament. He was also an NABC
All-District 20 First Team selection
and was named to the USBWA All-
District IX Team. Gutierrez is one
of the most decorated players in
program history and sits on the
school's top ten lists for assists,
steals, and games played; he also
completed his career ranked 20th in
Cal history for points scored.
APPEL HOWSER
TROPHY SEMIFINALIST
Stanford righthander Mark Appel
was named a seminalist for the
Dick Howser trophy, named for col-
lege baseball's top player.
Appel, a projected rst round and
maybe rst overall pick in the June
draft, is currently 8-1 with a 2.68
ERA in 12 starts this season.
The Pac-12 leader in strikeouts,
with 95, Appel has struck out 10 or
more in six starts this season.
The Howser Trophy will be pre-
sented in Omaha, during the rst
day of the College World Series on
June 15. The award is named after
the former All-American at Florida
State, who went onto manage the
Yankees and Royals.
TONY RENDA UPDATE
Dont look now, but former Serra
Padre Tony Renda is putting togeth-
er another Player of the Year type of
season for Cal.
After going .332/.366/.434 last
season and picking up the Pac-12s
highest honor, Renda is almost sure-
ly playing his way into a high-round
pick in the Major League Baseball
draft.
Renda is hitting .370 (up 38
points), has a .453 on-base percent-
age (up 87 points) and is slugging
.526 (up 92 points).
The former Padre continues to

Womens Professional Soccer ends
SAN FRANCISCO The
Womens Professional Soccer
league has folded after three sea-
sons.
The WPS had canceled the 2012
season in January, at the time hop-
ing to return next year.
We sincerely regret having to
take this course of action, T. Fitz
Johnson, owner of the Atlanta Beat
and chairman of the board of gover-
nors, said in a statement Friday.
The leagues predecessor, WUSA,
also lasted only three seasons, burn-
ing through more than $100 million
in investments in the euphoric after-
math of the U.S. victory at the 1999
World Cup. American fans again
watched the Womens World Cup in
large numbers last summer, but it
wasnt enough to save the WPS.
Womens soccer could again attract
big audiences during this years
London Olympics if the U.S. team
advances far.
The 2012 WPS season was
scrapped amid a legal dispute with
an ousted owner. League ofcials
had clashed with Dan Borislow of
the South Florida franchise all last
season and tried to terminate the
club in October. The WPS said
Friday it had reached a condential
out-of-court settlement with
Borislow, who sued the league last
summer.
Now U.S.
stars such as
Abby Wambach
and Hope Solo
will have to nd
other ways to
stay sharp after
the Olympics.
Our mission
from the nation-
al teams per-
spective is still the same. For us, its
about working for that gold medal,
Wambach said during the U.S.
teams training camp. Of course,
were all saddened by the news of
the WPS, but as the 2012 season
was already suspended, we made it
our goal to do everything we could
within our power to help the future
professional league in the United
States. We can only control what we
can control to give professional
womens soccer a chance here in the
United States in the future, and right
now that means preparing as hard as
we can for the Olympics.
The WPS debuted with seven
teams in 2009. Franchises in Los
Angeles, St. Louis, Chicago and the
Bay Area folded, and teams were
added in Philadelphia, Atlanta and
western New York. The league had
six clubs last season and was
preparing to play in 2012 with ve,
requiring a waiver to be sanctioned
by U.S. Soccer, after the South
Florida franchise was terminated.
Borislow purchased the former
Washington Freedom before last
season and moved the club to South
Florida, renaming it for a telephone
call device he invented. The
magicJack franchise was repeatedly
disciplined during the season for not
meeting league standards. In
August, after Borislow led suit
against the WPS, the league
released a statement accusing him
of violations ranging from unpro-
fessional and disparaging treatment
of his players to failure to pay his
bills.

NEW YORK The United
States World Cup qualifier at

Trafc Sports USA purchased the
rights from the Federacion Nacional
de Futbol de Guatemala and
announced an agreement Friday
with Integrated Sports Media to dis-
tribute the match in the U.S.
It will have a suggested retail price
of $29.95 and will be available on
DIRECTV, DISH Network and
Avail-TVN and iN Demand
which is available on systems of
Time Warner Cable, Cablevision,
Comcast, Charter, Frontier and
COX.
FIFA gives home teams rights to
World Cup qualifiers. The
Americans home qualiers against
Antigua and Barbuda on June 8 and
Jamaica on Sept. 11 will be televised
by ESPN2.
The pay-per-view route is de-
nitely not our preference, USSF
spokesman Neil Buethe said.
In qualifying for the 2010 World
Cup, eight matches on ESPN2 aver-
aged 787,000 viewers and two
matches on ESPN averaged 734,000.
Doug Jacobs, president of
Integrated, estimated the number of
buys for this game would be many
thousands a tiny fraction of the
1.5 million homes that bought the
Floyd Mayweather-Miguel Cotto
ght on May 5.
When the Americans clinched
their sixth straight World Cup berth
with a 3-2 win at Honduras in
October 2009, the game was avail-
able in the U.S. only on closed cir-
cuit. Jacobs said ensuring wide dis-
tribution was not his companys
responsibility.
Whats good for the sport, thats
U.S Soccers agenda, he said.
Were a private business. Im a soc-
cer fan, and the alternative was a lot
worse. It could have been as it was in
2009, closed circuit. Its the lesser of
two evils.
Trafc also owns the rights to the
U.S. qualiers at Jamaica on Sept. 7
and at Antigua on Oct. 12.
Last year, the 53 members of the
Union of European Football
Associations decided to pool their
television rights for national team

Battle of Bay to Giants
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Barry Zito outdid his
old Oakland team, Brandon Belt drove in three
runs, and the San Francisco Giants beat the
Oakland Athletics in the Bay Bridge Series
opener 8-6 on Friday night
Hector Sanchez had two RBIs to back Zito
(3-1), who won the 2002
AL Cy Young Award
across the bay in Oakland
but left for a $126 million,
seven-year deal with the
Giants before the 2007
season.
Josh Donaldson home-
red, doubled in a run and
hit a three-run double off
Steve Edlefsen for the As,
giving Donaldson career-
bests of three hits and ve RBIs. But Oakland
couldnt overcome a shaky night by starter
Jarrod Parker (1-2) and lost their 10th straight
in San Franciscos waterfront ballpark dating
to 2009.
Zito matched his season high with ve
strikeouts in 5 1-3 innings and also drew a
bases-loaded walk in the Giants four-run third
inning. The As walked ve that inning as San
Francisco batted around on the way to scoring
its most runs at home since getting eight last
Sept. 12 against the Padres. Zito, who
improved to just 2-4 with a 7.16 in six starts
against the As, walked off to a warm ovation
from the sellout crowd of 41,477 with one out
in the sixth after allowing Jemile Weeks lead-
off triple and an RBI single to Cliff
Pennington.
Belt had an RBI single in the second, drew a
bases-loaded walk in the third that chased
Parker, and hit a sacrice y in the fourth.
Zito came in with the lowest ERA of San
Franciscos starters at 2.53 but raised it to 3.00
and fell behind Matt Cains 2.67.
This has been a comeback season for the 34-
year-old lefty, who was kept off the roster for
all three playoff rounds during the Giants run
to the 2010 World Series title.
Santiago Casilla, San Franciscos fth reliev-
er, pitched out of a jam in the ninth for his 10th
save in 11 chances. He retired Weeks on a
groundout with runners on the corners to end it.
Belt put the Giants ahead 1-0 on an RBI sin-
gle in the second that scored Angel Pagan, who
drew a leadoff walk and stole second. Pagan,
coming from second, made a headrst slide
into home but easily beat the throw.
As pitchers went 0 for 18 with seven strike-
outs at the plate last season in interleague play
and Parker struck out in the lone plate appear-
ance Friday, extending the pitchers hitting
funk to 0 for 22 dating to Ben Sheets single on
June 19, 2010, at St. Louis.
Oh, I didnt realize that, Oakland manager
Bob Melvin said. Hopefully well be able to
pick up on that.
San Franciscos longest home winning
streak against an opponent at AT&T Park is 12
games, against the Mets from May 1, 2000-
May 16, 2003 so the Giants could match
that with a weekend sweep. They have a nine-
game home winning streak against the Texas
Rangers, who visit AT&T Park from June 8-10
still seeking their rst win here.
A special logo was painted on the grass
behind home plate in honor of next weeks
75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge,
and CEO and team president Larry Baer
searched before the game for his Golden Gate
Bridge neck tie.
Barry Zito
Dufner takes Nelson lead
IRVING, Texas Standing over his ball in
a swale behind the 18th green, Jason Dufner
would have been content with a par and a spot
in the big group tied for the lead in the Byron
Nelson Championship.
Instead, Dufner had the lead to himself
Friday. He nished by chipping in from 37
feet, his fourth birdie in ve holes, after driv-
ing wide right and having his approach roll
over the green.
No, that wasnt in the thought process,
Dufner said. Pretty lucky for it to go in, but
thats part of golf. Sometimes you get those
breaks.
His second long chip-in wrapped up a 4-
under 66 for a two-round total of 7-under 133.
That put Dufner a stroke ahead of a group of
six players that included Matt Kuchar, the
worlds fth-ranked player who won The
Players Championship last week.
Dufner got married the week after his rst
PGA Tour victory at New Orleans last month,
and returned to play last week.
He has the 36-hole lead for the fourth time
this season, including the Masters, and the
seventh time in his career. The experience of
having a victory can provide a different mind-
set while leading at the halfway point again.
Maybe a little bit, he said. Im condent
with my game and happy with where my
game is right now.
Kuchar shot a 68 to join rst-round leader
Ryan Palmer (70), Chad Campbell (66), Pat
Perez (67), Dickey Pride (68) and Marc
Leishman (69) at 6 under.
Defending champion Keegan Bradley (68),
who last summer won the PGA Championship
three months after becoming a rst-time win-
ner in a Nelson playoff against Palmer, was
two strokes behind the leaders along with
Ryuji Imada (68) and Charley Hoffman (69).
Kuchar recovered from a miserable early
stretch when he had two bogeys and a double
bogey in a four-hole span.
After a birdie at No. 10 to start his second
round, Kuchar had a bogey at the 455-yard
12th when his approach from the rough land-
ed in a bunker. His approach at No. 14 went in
the water, leading to a double bogey before he
again wasnt able to get up-and-down out of a
greenside bunker at the par-4 15th.
I got on the wrong side of things, Kuchar
said. Par 5, took advantage of that. So I was
pleased that I was able to hang in there and
bounce back.
His approach at the 546-yard 16th was
inside of 5 feet. That was the rst of his ve
birdies without another bogey over his nal 12
holes.
Kuchar still has chance to become the rst
PGA Tour player since Tiger Woods in 2009
to win in consecutive weeks. Woods also was
the last player to win in his next start after
winning The Players Championship. That was
in 2001, two years after David Duval pulled
off that feat.
The only other top 10
player in the eld is Phil
Mickelson, who had a t-
ting nish in a round of
69 with a double bogey
after his tee shot at No. 18
went in the water and his
approach after the drop
went over the green.
I hit it terrible today,
there was no other way
around it, Mickelson said. Ive just got some
mechanical issues where I was not striking the
ball very solid. I was able to hit decent shots
on the backside to make birdies and make a
run, but that last hole stunk.
Dufner was 4 under when he caught a
glimpse of a scoreboard early in his back nine
and noticed the crowd near the top with little
movement on a day with steady winds.
I was kind of around par for the day, trying
to stay patient a little bit, maybe get a birdie or
two, Dufner said.
Even after a bogey at No. 12, when his
approach landed in a greenside bunker,
Dufner did much more than he hoped for
down the stretch.
That started with three birdies in a row.
There was a 21-foot putt at No. 14 before he
holed a 35-foot chip at No. 15, then made a
21-foot birdie putt at No. 16.
Ended up getting birdie on four of the last
ve, couple of chip-ins, which you dont
expect, especially the one on 18, Dufner said.
It was a nice way to nish.

favorite Bodemeister and nine other rivals
would set up a Triple Crown attempt three
weeks later in the Belmont Stakes.
Its been 34 years since Afrmed swept the
Derby, Preakness and Belmont and became
the 11th Triple Crown champion. Since then,
11 horses have won the rst two legs only to
come up short in the Belmont. The most recent
try came in 2008, when Big Brown was pulled
up around the turn for home and nished last.
ONeill isnt even bothered that Ill Have
Another is the 5-2 second choice behind the
horse he defeated. He noted this is his rst
Preakness while Bodemeisters trainer Bob
Baffert has won the race ve times in 11 tries.
I totally respect that. I just hope anyone
who bets Bodemeister is regretting it Saturday
night, ONeill said earlier in the week.
Baffert, meanwhile, has been singing the
praises of his colt, who set a blistering pace in
the Derby, but was unable to fend off Ill Have
Another. After watching him gallop at
Churchill Downs earlier in the week, Baffert
gave a thumbs up and had Bodemeister
shipped to Pimlico Race Course.
On Friday, Baffert said his colt is coming
into the race in great shape, but knows the
Derby winner is the horse to beat.
Hes a good horse. Hes won all three of his
races this year against a strong group of
California horses, Baffert said, referring to
Ill Have Another. I respect the Derby win-
ner. I come here hoping I can turn the tables
this time and get it done.
The Preakness is a sixteenth-of-a-mile
shorter than the Derby, about equal the dis-
tance to the wire in the Derby where
Bodemeister lost the lead.
He just has to run that Derby race back,
Bodemeisters jockey Mike Smith said. If he
runs his race like that, well be in good shape
to get the job done.
The second leg of the Triple Crown could
turn into a two-horse race, with Bodemeister
breaking for the lead from the No. 7 post, and
Ill Have Another in the No. 9 gate try-
ing to stay close until jockey Mario Gutierrez
determines when to make his move.
If Bodemeister tries to open a big lead early,
ONeill says his colt will be closer to the front
than in the Derby. If Smith tries to slow things
down, ONeill says he has no problem with
Ill Have Another setting the pace.
The cream is starting to come to the top,
said Hall of Famer trainer D. Wayne Lukas, a
ve-time Preakness winner who will send out
30-1 long shot Optimizer. We should know a
little bit more about them (after Saturday). You
should start to get some form on these horses,
if theyre championship caliber. If theyre
Seattle Slew or Afrmed, they just keep on
doing it. Thats what were looking for.
Thats not to say there arent other 3-year-
olds in the eld capable of pulling a surprise.
Start with Went the Day Well, the bay colt
owned, trained and ridden by the same team
that won last years Derby with Animal
Kingdom. Went the Day Well had a troubled
trip in the Derby under John Velazquez, but
made up 7 1/2 lengths in the nal 220 yards
and nished fourth 2 1/2 lengths behind Ill
Have Another.
Graham Motion believes the colt he trains
for Barry Irwins Team Valor International is
getting better. Hes the 6-1 co-third choice
with Creative Cause.
My horse is very adaptable. I think thats
one of his biggest attributes. He can kind of do
anything you want with him, Motion said.
He ended up much farther back than Johnny
wanted in the Derby, and thats probably what
cost him being second. Maybe cost him the
win. ... If nobody goes with the speed horse
(Bodemeister), hes not going to be too far off
the pace, probably.
Creative Cause is not to be dismissed, either.

personally. I thought it was better
than just enough.
Like most trainers, Croft didnt
totally agree with the judges scor-
ing. Both he and McMorrow
believed she won the majority of the
rounds but, ghting the hometown
hero, both were a little concerned
about getting jobbed, like they
believed happened in February
against Mucino.
I was sitting there a little worried.
They cant do this to her again.
That did run through my mind,
Croft said. But [McMorrow] was so
dominant, there was no way (they
couldnt give her the decision). I did-
nt see how they could do it.
Then I heard, 95-95, and I was
like Oh, man.
I feel vindicated because I feel
like we got a raw deal in Mexico. I
know [Kentikian] underestimated us
again. [Opponents] will continue
to do it a couple more times.
It looks like you should be able to
out-box (McMorrow). Almost in
every ght, Melissa will make some-
one ght her (brawling, aggressive)
style. Melissa will draw you into that
type of ght every time.
McMorrow sees a lot better things
coming in the future. For the rst
time in a long time, McMorrow did
not have lingering doubts in the back
of her mind about her surgically
repaired right knee. She estimates
its at about only 60 percent recov-
ered and is anxious to see what she
can do when the knee is fully
healthy.
When I get to full strength, I can
start knocking people out,
McMorrow said. This was the rst
time I wasnt thinking about my
knee in a ght. That is really excit-
ing for me. I think there is a lot
more that can come from (continu-
ing to rehab) the leg.
As is usually the case when the
underdog beats the champion, there
will be a rematch between
McMorrow and Kentikian. Both
Croft and McMorrow cant wait
because their goal is to take
Kentikians remaining champi-
onship the World Boxing
Association belt. For whatever rea-
son, the WBA belt was not on the
line Wednesday night. Croft told the
media in the post-ght press confer-
ence that McMorrow was coming
back to take what was rightfully
hers.
It was the same belt that was on
the line when McMorrow lost to
Mucino in February.
We thought all three belts were
on the line for this (ght), Croft
said. I said in the post-ght press
conference, we were robbed in
Mexico and should (have been)
interim champion. We want the the
WBA belt back because I feel that
belt rightfully belongs to Melissa.
Shes won it twice in two differ-
ent ghts and still doesnt have it.

back like Sundays was almost impossible
because the Quakes simply lacked the depth on
the bench to make strong, quick runs against tired
defensive legs. The equalizing goal was well-
deserved and a good sign for San Jose, as they
keep pace with Real Salt Lake atop the Western
Conference standings.
The Quakes have a chance Saturday to get
back to their winning ways when a struggling
Columbus Crew side comes to Buck Shaw
Stadium at Santa Clara University.
The Crew did put an end to their winless run
after ve games, coming back for a 2-1 victory
against FC Dallas on Saturday. But they got some
help in the 63rd minute when Zach Lloyd picked
a red card for Dallas. Columbus seized the oppor-
tunity and go a much-needed three points. Still,
the Crew sit in a tie for seventh place in the
Eastern Conference with 11 points in nine games.
Once again, San Jose nds itself with a game
they should handle very easily. Much like Chivas,
Columbus isnt the most potent team offensively.
Before Justin Merams goal against Dallas, the
Crew had gone 263 minutes without nding the
back of the net. The Columbus offense should get
a boost with the return of midelder Dilly Duka,
who suffered a hamstring injury in the season
opener and has only played 12 minutes this year.
Saturdays game is another test for San Jose in
that the Earthquakes out to prove they can win
these type of contests. And more encouraging
than the results for the Quakes has been their
pace of play in 2012. While theyre still without
early season standout Shea Salinas, players like
Garza, Moreno and Rafael Baca have shouldered
the load of his absence.
On defense, Jason Hernandez has been solid in
Victor Bernardezs place. Plus, Jon Busch has yet
to concede a goal over three matches and 270
minutes of play against the Columbus Crew as
the San Jose net minder.
San Jose sits second in the Western Conference
table behind Real Salt Lake and a win in
Saturdays game means three huge points for a
team thats about to hit a tough patch in the
schedule with games against L.A Galaxy,
Sporting K.C., Colorado and the aforementioned
RSL approaching.

Kelsey Celaya of St. Francis-Mountain View
was rst followed by Cupertinos Nanah Fujishiro
and Kimballs Shaylyn Garay.
Nelson nished sixth in the bars with a 9.325
and was tied for fourth in the oor exercise with a
9.350. Nelson duplicated that fourth place feat in
the vault with a 9.050. But her 10th place nish in
the balance beam opened the window for Fujishiro
and Garay.
Mercy falls short in CCS
First-year Mercy-Burlingame softball head
coach Jenna Kim is hopeful that the 2012 is a sign
of things to come.
The Mercy High School Crusaders concluded
their season losing 3-1 in the rst round of the
CCS Division III playoffs against the Monterey
High School Toreadores.
Unfortunately for Mercy, they ran into a pitch-
ing buzzsaw by the name of Clarisa Cortez.
Cortez no-hit the Crusaders and had a RBI dou-
ble which scored the go ahead run.
The Crusaders drew rst blood. Lead-off hitter
and third baseman Sabrina Miller reached on a
throwing error. She was bunted over to second by
shortstop Samantha Dean and then took third on a
passed ball. Miller then came home on a ground
out by second baseman Ix Chel Mendieta.
The Crusaders held the lead until the fourth
inning when two hits coupled with a sacrice y
and a ground out allowed Monterey to take a 2-1
lead.
Mercy got a stellar effort by Mercy pitcher
Marka Ballard, who allowed only two hits to
Monterey and defensively Ballard elded her
position well with six putouts.

Georges wins stage, Zabriskie leads Tour of California
BIG BEAR LAKE Sylvain
Georges of France pedaled to a
long, solo win and Dave Zabriskie
maintained his race lead Friday with
a main eld nish in the mountain-
ous Stage 6 of the Amgen Tour of
California.
Georges, 28, a second-year who
rides for Ag2r-La Mondiale,
claimed his fth career win after
pedaling alone in the lead for the
nal 30 miles en route to his title in
5 hours, 7 minutes and 6 seconds.
The most difcult thing about
the final kilometers was in my
head, Georges said. I hurt every-
where. I was starting to go cross-
eyed and getting cramps, but I was
able to focus and ght through it.
It was the hardest 15km of my
life.
Former race lead Peter Sagan of
Slovakia, who won the rst four
stages, nished second in the stage
that featured four climbs, trailing by
28 seconds.
Peter Velits, also of Slovakia, n-
ished third in the same time in the
stage that ended at an elevation of
6,750 feet.
Zabriskie (Garmin-Barracuda), a
Utah native who lives in Los
Angeles, nished 21st in the main
eld. He maintained the 34-second
race lead he took over Tejay van
Garderen (BMC) of Tacoma, Wash.,
with a dominating time trial win in
Stage 5.
Robert Gesink (Rabobank) of the
Netherlands remained third, trailing
by 39 seconds.
Georges, who improved from
43rd to 22nd place overall, emerged
at the front about mile into the stage
that featured four climbs.
After the second mountain sprint,
he attacked and eventually built
more than a ve-minute lead.
The main eld quickly lowered its
deficit in the waning miles, but
Georges had a large enough cushion
to ease to the nish and wave to the
crowd.
For me its the most beautiful
victory of my career, said Georges,
who had four victories in 2011, but
claimed his rst this season. Ive
never arrived solo for victory like
this and it was incredibly special.
Its a beautiful race with all the big
teams.
Defending race titlist Chris
Horner (RadioShack) of Bend, Ore.,
is 26th overall, trailing by 2:50 after
nishing eighth in stage six.
The eight-day, 735-mile race con-
tinues Saturday with the 78.3-mile
seventh stage road race from
Ontario to Mt. Baldy, the second
and last mountain stage.

I
cant think of anyone who minds a little
extra cash in his or her pocket. Whether
one invests it in the stock market or
buys a concert ticket, extra money is rarely a
bad thing especially for a teenager. So
with all of the things a
high school junior could
do with $49, the last thing
one would think theyd
spend it on is a test. But
out of the millions of high
school students my age
across the country, I cant
be the only one asking
my parents for a little
extra cash here and there to take an SAT ... or
two.
Every lucky junior, senior and overeager
sophomore involved with college admissions-
related standardized testing must take either
the SAT or the ACT at least once before they
apply to college. Both tests charge a fee and
this year, for the SAT, the College Board is
charging $49. Although some would argue it
is unreasonable to make students pay any fee
to bubble in multiple-choice answers for four
grueling hours, its understandable that the
College Board must charge some amount to
cover shipping of materials, hiring graders,
etc.
However, $49 seems to be only the begin-
ning of the cost of standardized test prepara-
tion for many. When one signs onto their
account on the College Boards website to
register for the SAT reasoning or an SAT
subject test, registration dates and informa-
tion are surrounded by advertisements for
prep books and study materials. Even still,
preparatory guides only scratch the surface of
the lengths many families go to help their
child earn an SAT score thatll impress any
admissions ofcer in the country. Private
tutors, preparatory classes and (as recent
news has demonstrated) even hiring another
student to take the SAT all come with a hefty
price tag and for this reason, my frustration
with the standardized testing system has
moved past simply not wanting to spend my
Saturday morning with an SAT booklet in
front of me.
Part of this frustration is due to my own
efforts in test prep. When I rst heard about
the SAT and ACT, the tests seemed daunting,
but I expected to take one once and have it
over with. However, two PSATs, two months
of prep classes and one real SAT later, I cant
say that I havent gotten a least a little caught
up in the desire to improve my score with the
resources available to me. With this, its
becoming more and more apparent that the
SAT and ACT are often a better measure of a
parents checkbook than of a students intelli-
gence or ability to learn.
Despite the shared frustration of many
regarding standardized testing, its far easier
to complain about the subject than to offer
Tests, tests, tests

Battleship is big, dumb
fun that knows its big, dumb
fun and enthusiastically
embraces its big, dumb, fun
nature.
Director Peter Berg has
crafted an almost fetishistic
homage to Michael Bay
like Bays Transformers
series, this is yet another
action extravaganza inspired
by a Hasbro product with
its epic set pieces, swaggering
bravado, panoramic skies and
cheesy romance. It doesnt
lean all the way into parody,
but rather feels more like a
faithful and knowing approxi-
mation of a very specific,
muscular genre: one of those
the-world-is-ending-were-
all-gonna-die movies. And
because its a little cheeky and
doesnt seem to take itself
totally seriously, its more
enjoyable than one might
expect from a movie based on
a board game created in the
1960s.
Yes, it can be deafeningly
noisy between the crunch and
shriek of giant metal objects
ghting each other and the
blaring rock anthems meant to
pump up the crowd even fur-
ther. (The soundtrack includes

feasible solutions. Ideas for possible
improvements seem to range from simply
doing away with the standardized testing sys-
tem completely to providing more options for
students to demonstrate their positive attrib-
utes in a less academic focus.
One senior at Crystal Springs Uplands
School is exploring one of these possibilities
for her senior project by researching the ben-
ets of including a personality test in the
requirements for a college application.
Although a personality test would provide an
opportunity for college admissions ofcers to
learn more information about a college hope-
ful than test scores could provide, theres no
guaranteeing that it, too, would not become a
measure of accessible monetary resources.
Lets hope personality tutors are not the SAT
prep classes of the future.

one significant moment, a song thats seem-
ingly been played during the final two min-
utes of every NBA playoff game since the
dawn of time. But it is effective.) No, its not
subtle between the annihilation caused by
alien invaders and the rousing sense of patri-
otism thats the real weapon in this battle.
Then again, would you really expect (or
want) subtlety from this type of big-budget
summer escape? At least screenwriters Jon
and Erich Hoeber showed enough restraint to
avoid including the famous line from games
TV commercials: You sank my battleship!
Speaking of blockbusters, Taylor Kitsch
gets more to work with here than he did ear-
lier this year in another behemoth, John
Carter, as our hero, Alex Hopper. A slacker
and troublemaker at the films start, he joins
the Navy at the insistence of his straight-
laced older brother, Stone (Alexander
Skarsgard). A certain gorgeous blonde
named Sam (Brooklyn Decker) also provides
some inspiration.
Flash forward and Alex is a lieutenant on
one Naval destroyer while Stone is the com-
manding officer of another. Both answer to
Admiral Shane (a withering, well-cast Liam
Neeson) who happens to be Sams father.
Theyre all taking part in some international
war games off the Hawaiian coast when
oops! a friendly satellite signal sent to a
newly discovered planet that looks a lot like
ours in a neighboring galaxy provokes some
angry extra-terrestrials.
What could these beings possibly want,
besides the usual world domination? Its
never really clear and theoretically it doesnt
really matter; gawking at the ensuing specta-
cle is the reason were all here. A cluster of
spaceships hurtles toward Earth, shredding
sections of Hong Kong before plunging into
the Pacific Ocean. Alex and a couple other
crew members one of whom is a weapons
expert played by a smart-alecky Rihanna in
her film debut hop in a smaller boat to
have a little look-see at the strange, giant
objects protruding from the water and trigger
a massive, dome-like force field.
From there, Battleship consists of an
increasingly intense but ultimately repetitive
back-and-forth between our military might
and the aliens more sophisticated ships. The
action sequences are impressively glossy and
detailed and not inscrutable like some of the
protracted Transformers showdowns; the
bad guys mean, circular doo-dads that
resemble giant tires with vicious metal teeth
are especially cool. What we lack compara-
tively in weaponry we make up for in heart
and moxie, by golly. The aliens, meanwhile,
are personality-free predators whose one
weakness seems illogical given that they
come from a planet whose atmosphere and
climate are just like Earths, but whatever.
At the same time, Sam, a physical thera-
pist, finds herself trapped while hiking on
Oahu with one of her patients, an Army lieu-
tenant who lost his legs in combat. (Hes
played by Gregory D. Gadson, a decorated
Iraq war veteran who had both legs amputat-
ed after suffering injuries from an improvised
explosive device; its an inspiring film
debut). Of all the mountains on all the islands
in all the world, they just happen to be right
near the remote satellite center that the aliens
want to take over to ... phone home, maybe?
Again, the motives are a tad blurry. Suffice it
to say, the script needed to put Alexs girl-
friend in danger. This also allows them to
team up with the skittish Cal (Hamish
Linklater), the scientist who ran the place
that originated the transmissions, for a little
nerdy comic relief.
And if nothing within this multitude of ele-
ments works for you, dont worry. Theres
surely a movie based on Connect Four in the
works somewhere.
Battleship, a Universal Pictures release,
is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of vio-
lence, action and destruction, and for lan-
guage. Running time: 131 minutes. Two and
a half stars out of four.
BATTLE
By Sandy Cohen
LOS ANGELES Hollywood is known
for snatching up best-selling books and turn-
ing them into big-screen blockbusters:
Twilight, Harry Potter, The Hunger
Games, The Help and countless others.
But the adaptations hitting theaters this
week didnt need a novels characters or
built-in narrative, just a well-known brand
name.
The must-read pregnancy manual What to
Expect When Youre Expecting has become
an all-star comedy romp about the pitfalls of
new parenthood. The book is full of helpful
advice, but its almost like a medical manu-
al, said Shauna Cross, who co-wrote the
screenplay. Thats not that entertaining to
go and watch.
So the cinematic version, opening Friday,
stars Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Chris
Rock, Elizabeth Banks, Dennis Quaid and
others in intertwining tales about various
experiences of pregnancy, from infertility
and miscarriage to trouble-free twins.
Also opening Friday is Battleship, an
action flick inspired by the 45-year-old board
game starring Taylor Kitsch, Liam Neeson,
Brooklyn Decker and Rihanna. Based on
finding a hidden enemy by searching coordi-
nates on a grid, the classic game may be best
known to some readers by an old TV com-
mercial in which an exasperated player pro-
claims, You sank my battleship! The film,
set during a war games exercise on the
Pacific Ocean, shows how the U.S. Navy
might respond to an alien attack at sea.
There are certain elements from the board
game that lent themselves well to the DNA of
a movie, said director Pete Berg. Two ene-
mies trying to locate and kill each other vio-
lently is, good god, a movie... The rest is
classic creative endeavor.
Coming up with characters and narratives
around popular brands that intrinsically have
neither one has become business as usual in
Hollywood.
With movies costing so much, studios are
looking for any kind of a hook that would
ring a bell with an audience, said veteran
film critic Kenneth Turan, who writes for the
Los Angeles Times. Its the same reason
why they have all the sequels and things from
TV shows and remakes: Theyre desperate to
ring that bell.
Still, seizing on a popular brand doesnt
guarantee a successful film.
The 1985 film version of the board game
Clue flopped (though it later gained a cult
following). But Transformers, based on
Hasbros shape-shifting robot toys, became a
multi-billion-dollar global franchise.
Berg said turning Battleship into a movie
was one of the great and really fun creative
challenges of my career. The film has col-
lected $215 million so far overseas, where it
has been open for nearly five weeks.
As with Battleship, adapting advice
books such as What to Expect When Youre
Expecting and Steve Harveys 2009 dating
guide, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man,
requires writers to develop characters and
story lines that arent in the books.

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
HOWARD TERPNING: TRIBUTE TO
THE PLAINS PEOPLE. The Autry
National Center of the American West, estab-
lished in 1988 by Gene Autry, who gained
fame as a singing cowboy on the radio, in
movies and on television, is an intercultural
center and museum in Los Angeles,
California that celebrates the diversity and
history of the American West through three
important institutions: the Southwest
Museum of the American Indian, the
Museum of the American West and the
Institute for the Study of the American West.
The Autrys collection is composed of
21,000 paintings, sculptures, costumes, tex-
tiles, rearms, tools, toys, musical instru-
ments and other objects. The Southwest
Museums 238,000-piece collection of
Native American art, second only to the
Smithsonian Institution National Museum of
the American Indian, comprises 14,000 bas-
kets, 10,000 ceramic items, 6,300 textiles
and weavings and more than 1,100 pieces of
jewelry, and represents indigenous peoples
from Alaska to South America.
Dr. Stephen Aron, Professor of History at
the University of California at Los Angeles
and Executive Director of the Institute for the
Study of the American West, said, The
Autry brings the West together. Its collec-
tions reect the cultural diversity of the West,
and its exhibitions and programs amplify the
stories of the diverse peoples who have vied
for occupancy and opportunity in the region.
Here, we explore these histories separately,
but we also understand that they are connect-
ed to one another and to us.
Through July 1, the Autry presents a retro-
spective of 86 works of American West
painter Howard Terpning, known for his
devotion and respect for both the material
culture and traditions of the Blackfoot, Crow,
Lakota and other Plains tribes. What started
as a successful illustration career for
Terpning in Hollywoodwith work on such
films as The Sound of Music and
Cleopatraled to a focus on art of the
American West. During a civilian combat
artist assignment, Terpning traveled to
Vietnam and witnessed the impact of the war
on the local indigenous population. This
sparked his interest in the treatment of Native
peoples in the United States. Today, he has
close relations with Native Americans, and
tribal elders call him the storyteller of their
people. Using historical research, meticulous
attention to detail and sweeping landscape
vistas, Terpning creates open-ended stories
about life, family and survival on the
Western frontier during the period before the
end of the Indian Wars, often consulting with
Native American tribal members to ensure
accuracy.
Terpning considers his signature work to
be The Force of Nature Humbles All Men,
which is part of the Autrys permanent col-
lection. Fascinated by the movement and
force of rushing water, he was inspired to
create this painting from a thundering, cas-
cading river of water moving through a nar-
row gorge in Glacier National Park. Using
photographs he took as the basis for a large
rock formation, Terpning placed a group of
Blackfeet riders on this natural stage. Shown
looking in multiple directions, their outward
gaze suggests an even more expansive scene
to which each individual reacts differently.
Terpning said, Having my work exhibited
at the Autry as a retrospective will be an
important milestone in my career, and I feel
honored to have my work displayed in the
museum. The paintings reect my admira-
tion for Native people, and the stories that I
tell on canvas provide a very small window
into the lives of the First Americans who
inhabited the Great Plains.
The Autry National Center of the
American West is located at 4700 Western
Heritage Way, Los Angeles, in Grifth Park.
Museum admission is $10 for adults, $6 for
students and seniors 60+, $4 for children
ages 312, and free for Autry members, vet-
erans and children age 2 and under.
Admission is free on the second Tuesday of
every month. The Autry Store carries a selec-
tion of Native American jewelry, pottery and
baskets, as well as a range of Western mem-
orabilia. The Autry Caf offers entrees, sal-
ads, chili and sandwiches with a child-
friendly menu. Beer and wine is also avail-
able. Caf hours are Tuesday through
Sunday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more informa-
tion about the Autry visit TheAutry.org or

Max Payne hasnt graced video
gamers screens for nearly nine years,
and when we reacquaint ourselves with
the former New York City detective, we
nd a man drowning his troubled past in
bottles of scotch and prescription pills.
The protagonist of Max Payne 3
($59.99, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation
3 and PC) might be teetering near rock
bottom, but developer Rockstar Games
has created a cinematic masterpiece
around him. The narrated third-person
shooter packs intense action and exquis-
itely eerie production while revealing an
engaging story line through solid acting.
Max, still hitting the bottle following
the murder of his wife and daughter,
heads down to Sao Paulo, Brazil, to join
his friend Raul on the security team for
a rich socialite family. An exclusive
high-rise party provides the opportunity
for some detective-style narration to
introduce us to some new characters,
but Max is quickly thrust into a violent
gun battle.
The game immediately highlights a
stretching of the familiar Shootdodge
maneuver as Max gets to blast away
intruders gathered on a large balcony
while sliding down an awning. Also
back is Bullet Time, a temporary
upgrade that slows down motion so Max
can concentrate on hitting enemies.
Three targeting options hard lock,
soft lock or off adjust the difculty to
please both hard-core gamers and those
looking for an easier experience so they
can just enjoy the ride.
Scenes in Max Payne 3 play out
artistic yet brutally violent, with bullets
splattering blood as they pierce skin and
bones. And each scene ends with the
perspective shifting to a slow-motion
bullet cam that adds an exclamation
point before Max moves on.
The game makes better use of cover,
and unless youve been conserving
painkillers, its often better to pace and
protect Max behind railings and desks
instead of just running and opening re.
The settings for Maxs battles are var-
ied.
A neon nightclub is gorgeous but dis-
tracting, with ashing lights and pulsat-
ing beats making it tough to spot those
who broke up the party. A battle through
a vast soccer stadium weaves seamless-
ly between wide-open stadium seating
areas, tight catwalks perched above the
eld and more intimate back corridors
and luxury suite areas.
Max once again is skillfully voiced by
James McCaffrey (the ghost of reght-
er Jimmy Keefe on the TV cable series
Rescue Me).
While pacing is an important part of
the single-player story mode, multiplay-
er is a frenzied free-for-all.
The Deathmatch and Team
Deathmatch modes are much like other
shooters, but theyre enhanced with the
incorporation of bursts such as health
and weapon upgrades and Bullet Time,
which in multiplayer affects only those
characters in Maxs eld of vision.
Max Payne 3 a cinematic masterpiece
WEEKEND JOURNAL
22
By Christy Lemire
Polisse feels like the two-hour pilot for
the kind of meaty cop drama that could only
exist on cable television, one youd want to
program into your DVR to watch all season
long.
The subject matter is inherently repulsive
crimes against children yet the lm
itself, which won the jury prize at last years
Cannes Film Festival, is irresistibly watch-
able, full of complicated characters on both
sides of these investigations.
Director and co-writer Maiwenn nds the
humanity within some abhorrent gures, as
well as much-needed comic relief and absurd-
ity within some repulsive situations. A few of
the revelations here are so startling, youll be
shocked to nding yourself joining in and
laughing at the gallows humor along with
these hardened detectives.
Maiwenn also inserts herself in the action
as part of the ensemble cast in self-glorify-
ing fashion, to be honest as the photogra-
pher assigned to follow the police ofcers of
Paris Child Protection Unit and our guide
through this dark and sometimes darkly
humorous world. In real life, she embedded
herself with these kinds of detectives and
(with co-writer Emmanuelle Bercot, who has
a supporting role) crafted several interwoven
tales based on actual cases she saw.
Whats impressive is not only her ability to
juggle a large group of talented actors and
give everyone a chance to shine including
Karin Viard, Marina Fois and French rapper
JoeyStarr but also her restraint. She judges
no one, neither the suspects nor the people
investigating them. Everyone makes mistakes
everyone is believably flawed. And
because Polisse also follows the ofcers
after hours, its easy to see why so many of
them are so screwed up: Psychologically, they
take their work home with them, and their
work is depressingly frustrating.
There are some shocking moments, to be
sure, and plenty of stress-fueled blow-ups but
also scenes of joyous, drunken camaraderie
and heartbreaking tenderness. Maiwenns nat-
uralistic style serves to amplify all these emo-
tions. JoeyStarr in particular is vividly at the
center of both ends of the spectrum: His char-
acter, the volatile but mesmerizing Fred, can
be harsh and y off the handle at his co-work-
ers but he also reveals a disarming sensitive
side when it comes time to soothe a hysterical
young boy.
The latter is one of many scenes that are
especially difcult to watch as a parent. Of
course, the crimes mentioned here would
seem horric to anyone with a pulse, but its
all the more disturbing on a visceral level
when youve had a child of your own.
The misspelling of the title is intentional,
Maiwenn has said, as if a confused kid had
written it. But the lm itself quite obviously
came from a level-headed adult, one with
great command of tone. Sure, youve seen this
sort of material before comparisons to
HBOs The Wire are frequent and obvious
but when its done right, as it is here, its
gripping.
Polisse is an unflinching cop drama
Polisse is irresistibly watchable, full of
complicated characters on both sides of these
investigations.

LOS ANGELES Everyone in
Hollywood wants to be a multi-
hyphenate, right? Everyone wants to
show they can do it all. A key gure
in that tradition is the model-turned-
actor. Maybe they wanted to act but
had to take modeling gigs rst;
maybe they modeled rst but wanted
to prove they were more than just a
pretty face.
Sports Illustrated swimsuit model
Brooklyn Decker continues her
crossover this week with supporting
roles in two very different lms:
Battleship and What to Expect
When Youre Expecting. There are
countless other examples of perform-
ers whove done this, but heres a
look at ve whove staked out serious
careers in front of both kinds of cam-
era.
Milla Jovovich: Born in Kiev, she
was spotted at age 11 by famed pho-
t o g r a p h e r
Richard Avedon,
who featured her
in Revlons
M o s t
Unf orget t abl e
Women in the
World ads.
Jovovich went on
to appear on
dozens of maga-
zine covers and
in campaigns for several brands
including Banana Republic, Donna
Karan, Gap and Versace. But shes
also carved out a major acting career
as star of the sci- Resident Evil
series (directed by her husband, Paul
W.S. Anderson) and has appeared in
lms as varied as The Fifth
Element He Got Game and
Stone. But she still keeps a hand in
fashion, in recent years serving as co-
designer for the clothing line
Jovovich-Hawk and sitting in the
front row of shows for Chanel, John
Galliano and Nina Ricci. (Jovovich
also recorded her rst album when
she was just 16. But thats a whole
nother list.)
Charlize Theron: The statuesque
stunner from South Africa started
modeling in
Milan at 16. She
later moved to
New York to train
as a ballerina, but
a knee injury
forced her to quit
dancing and
nudged her
toward acting.
Since then, shes
shown a fearless-
ness in her choices and an eagerness
to play parts that are less than beauti-
ful on the outside (her Oscar-winning
performance as a frumpy serial killer
in Monster) as well as on the inside
(her blistering portrayal of a delusion-
al former prom queen in Young
Adult). In recent years, shes been
watching others walk the runway at
Fashion Week shows including Rag
& Bone and shes been the face of
Christian Diors Jadore perfume.
Ashton Kutcher: The 6-foot-2
Kutcher dropped out of the
University of
Iowa, where hed
planned to study
b i o c h e mi c a l
e n g i n e e r i n g ,
after an agent
recruited him at a
bar to take part in
a modeling com-
petition. He
ended up win-
ning rst place
and went on to work the catwalks in
New York, Milan and Paris. Kutcher
made his name playing dumb pretty-
boy roles on the TV series That 70s
Show and in movies like Dude,
Wheres My Car? But as any of the
nearly 10.7 million Twitter followers
of (at)aplusk can attest, hes got more
substantive matters on his mind. Now
hes replaced Charlie Sheen on the
unfathomably popular Two and a
Half Men and hes about to play the
late Apple founder Steve Jobs in an
upcoming biopic.
Tyrese Gibson: He grew up in
South Central Los Angeles but burst
onto the pop-cul-
ture scene as a
teenager singing
Always Coca-
Cola in a 1994
c o mme r c i a l .
Soon afterward,
Tommy Hilger
himself picked
the gorgeous
Gibson to be the
face of his brand;
hes also modeled for Guess? jeans.
Gibson is actually a model-turned-
singer-turned-actor, having released
several R&B albums. After making
his acting debut in John Singletons
Baby Boy, he found himself with
recurring roles in a couple of heavy-
duty franchises: all three
Transformers lms and a couple of
the Fast and the Furious movies. In
2 Fast 2 Furious, he had the daunt-
ing task of replacing Vin Diesel as
Paul Walkers sidekick and he oozed
charisma from every pore of his aw-
lessly sculpted physique.
Kim Basinger: She was a Breck
Girl that alone qualies her for this
list. A former
Georgia pageant
queen, she signed
a contract with
the Ford model-
ing agency and
appeared on sev-
eral magazine
covers in the
70s. Since then
shes been ...
well, shes been
Kim Basinger: blonde, beautiful,
glamorous. Shes been a Bond girl (in
Never Say Never Again) and had
the contents of a refrigerator poured
all over her (in 9 1/2 Weeks). Shes
played the Caped Crusaders girl-
friend (in the 1989 Batman) and
Eminems mom (in 8 Mile). And in
1998, she won the Academy Award
for best supporting actress for her
portrayal of the quintessential hooker
with a heart of gold in L.A.
Condential, beating out then-87-
year-old Gloria Stuart, who was con-
sidered the favorite for Titanic.

Facebook and Twitter and Instagram.
Kickstarter. Netix. PayPal. Akamai,
the content-delivery behemoth. Intel,
the internal combustion engine of the
whole shebang. And for that matter,
the Internet itself and the organization
that regulates its domain names were
both born and raised in (you guessed
it) America.
A digital manifest destiny is play-
ing out, built upon the notion that the
United States outward expansion
continues apace on the virtual fron-
tier. What the self-dened sense of
American exceptionalism built in the
physical world, it is now building in
the digital one.
Its a projection of American val-
ues what international experts
would call soft power, says Lee
Rainie, director of the Pew Research
Centers Internet and American Life
Project.
Look at what the digital space dis-
seminates, he says: freedom of the
press, of information and of assem-
bly; knowledge and scientic
advancement; free-market mecha-
nisms and entrepreneurialism. Its
hard to think of a cluster of ideas and
architectures that would more allow
basic American cultural values to
propagate, says Rainie, co-author of
the new book, Networked: The New
Social Operating System.
Technological progress has always
walked hand in hand with American
expansion. Where would the settle-
ment of the West have been without
Robert Fultons steamboat, Samuel
F.B. Morses work in telegraphy and,
later, the inventions of Thomas
Edison and Henry Ford? Not to men-
tion the old-time data pipelines them-
selves the postal system, the rail-
roads and eventually the interstate
highways?
In those cases, innovation helped
drive development and physically
shape the frontier; now innovation
itself is the frontier. And the
American tendency to glorify the
inventors spirit remains a key engine.
As Alexander Graham Bell went, so
goes Mark Zuckerberg.
In this country, youre a hero if
you invent something. To be an
inventor in America, thats as good as
being an explorer, says Julie Fenster,
author of The Spirit of Invention:
The Story of the Thinkers, Creators
and Dreamers who Formed Our
Nation.
The notion that I can invent my
way out of problems that always
fueled a sense of hope and expansion
in this country, she says.
That parallel between the frontiers
of the road and the mind has not gone
unnoticed by politicians and leaders
looking to cast Americas newest
progress in the context of the old.
President Barack Obama, speaking to
Carnegie Mellon Universitys
National Robotics Engineering
Center last year, called for tech inno-
vation this way: Thats the kind of
adventurous, pioneering spirit that we
need right now. Thats the spirit thats
given us the tools and toughness to
overcome every obstacle and adapt to
every circumstance.
The nations digital innovators
have been placing virtual progress
into the context of American expan-
sionism for years. Sometimes theyre
oblique about it, sometimes theyre
explicit. There is never a reliable
map for unexplored territory, wrote
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who
in 1995 likened the early Internet to
the Oregon Trail. Apple co-founder
Steve Jobs put it this way in 1985: In
a society where information and
innovation are going to be pivotal,
there really is the possibility that
America can become a second-rate
industrial nation if we lose the techni-
cal momentum and leadership we
have now.
Manifest destiny and its rst
cousin, American exceptionalism,
arent popular notions everywhere.
The idea of U.S. domination in every-
thing from cultural frontiers
(Hollywood) to geographic ones
(outer space) can set the world on
edge. Just as irritatingly to some,
Americas ability to occupy these
spaces rests upon not only actual
innovation but the oomph to amplify
it on a global level in effect, to
shout the loudest in a crowded, if now
virtual, room.

Anne Mayoral, who was helping with
the workshop during Education Day at
the Maker Faire at the San Mateo Event
Center Thursday, helped by adding hot
glue to the contraption.
Ten-year-olds McKenzie. Ezra and 9-
year-old Sophie blew on hot glue before
giving it a go. The addition changed the
path of the toy, creating a smoother pat-
tern.
Myers explained the toy is designed to
allow kids to put them together, try new
things and see what happens.
Theres no right or wrong, he said.
The toy was meant to give children a
chance to make something that does
something, as opposed to a craft that
would be placed on the refrigerator. Its
also an introduction into electronics and
creating questions that they can answer
by continuing to play with the bot.
Its one of many activities for people
to try this weekend at the Maker Faire,
being held at the San Mateo Event
Center, and expected to draw more than
100,000 people from all over. On
Thursday, a limited number of the activ-
ities were set up to encourage children
by showcasing what everyday people
can make.
Nine-year-old Sophie enjoyed herself.
I like how we get to make things,
she said while molding a clay person for
a claymation booth.
Nearby, Peter Gardner helped children
make a glovetopus an octopus made
from gloves.
Were just stufng the ngers. No
thumbs, he told students ranging in age
from elementary school to college who
were putting a pillow stuffing into
gloves. Others were sewing the gloves
together to make a cuddly friend they
could take home.
Cruising around the event were 12-
year-olds Nicholas Forbes and James
Fleming, sixth graders from Mill Valley
who call themselves the Mill Valley
Makers.
In their mobile contraption, the boys
explained how the original plan was to
build a tank. But the cost for parts was
steep. Instead, their vehicle was outtted
with a fan, cup holder, a speaker that
could be hooked up to an iPhone, room
for both to ride and a rope with a handle
to tow friends riding on a skateboard.
They will be cruising around on
Saturday showcasing their work.
Lights can be seen through Erik
Johnsons shirt. From Dublin, Johnson
was on hand at his booth PersonaLED
which features products with LED lights
that are wearable, durable and can be
programmed. Children stopping by were
taken by a larger scale version of the
small LED lights which radiated colors
often turning the childrens faces shades
of red.
Johnson had earplugs in for good rea-
son. His booth is set up near the stage
ArcAttack, a group from Austin, Texas,
was using to play music and play with
singing Tesla coils a form of plasma
speaker modied to produce musical
tones by creating a spark output. The
lighting-looking product is a fun addi-
tion to the music played.
These are just examples of the many
things families can experience. There is
fun with bubbles and a truck that, with a
push of a button, disperses fire.
Oversized creations like an electronic
giraffe one can ride on and lighted sculp-
tures are sprinkled throughout.
Attending is a chance to meet with
people thinking outside the box but
using it in their day-to-day lives, from
cycling and food to robotics and educa-
tion.
The Maker Faire will be held rain or
shine 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, May 19
and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, May 20 at

MAKER
Collins who joined the meeting via con-
ference call. Im sorry we cant agree
to this but I cant reconcile myself to
two equally unappealing options to
me.
Collins and Vice Mayor Bob Grassilli
want to appoint an interim councilmem-
ber until the November 2013 election
while Councilman Mark Olbert and
Mayor Matt Grocott prefer a short
appointment until a special election this
fall.
Collins and Grassilli believe the
longer appointment time will draw a bet-
ter pool of applicants while the other
twos goal is getting to the voters sooner
rather than later.
On Friday, Olbert suggested splitting
the difference by calling the election in
November 2013 with the agreement the
council look at a former councilmember
for the appointment. Grocotts compro-
mise was an election in November 2013
but that the 18-month appointment come
with the condition even though it can-
not be a legal requirement that the
person not run in the regular election.
Grocott is worried that a person already
sitting on the council at that point, par-
ticularly if it is a former councilmember,
will have a serious leg up. As somebody
who thinks voter decisions are impor-
tant, Grocott said practically guarantee-
ing someone a seat for ve and a half
years is too far of a swing in the other
direction.
Former mayor Randy Royce was used
as an example of an incumbent defeated
in an election but Grocott pointed out he
had driven the controversial move
toward public safety outsourcing fac-
tors an appointed councilmember would
not have weighing against them in pub-
lic opinion.
Grocott also disputed the argument
against a special election based on the
estimated $50,000 price tag.
I know its money we can spend on
other things but when you open up a city
hall and say were going to be sitting
here as a government, you better be
budgeting for elections, Grocott said.
Although Olbert suggested a compro-
mise, he called deferring the election
that long an absolute anathema to him.
In my personal opinion, it is a terrible
thing to do, he said. In my mind, it
makes no sense in a democratic system
to do this.
Grocott agreed to consider Olberts
idea once he claried that the appoint-
ment applicant process will be open to
all residents even if the council ultimate-
ly prefer to choose a former coun-
cilmember.
The decision to delay a decision until
the May 29 meeting also postponed the
interim appointment application process.
Originally, interviews and a choice were
scheduled for that same meeting but will
now be pushed out several days past that
point.
The councils dilemma was spurred by
Kleins resignation to deal with personal
matters. Klein was named mayor in May
2011 following former mayor Omar
Ahmads death and was in the third year
of his rst term.
VACANCY
will be in 2023 and the next annular
eclipse will happen again in 2030 and
then again in 2048, according to
Braidman.
The last annular eclipse was in 1994
but was not visible from the Bay Area.
During a total solar eclipse viewers
can see the corona, or crown, of the sun
while during Sundays eclipse a thicker
ring will be visible, but it will still be
darker than usual.
Braidman said there will be interesting
weather effects, especially for nocturnal
animals, and there may be some interest-
ing colors visible in the atmosphere.
The astronomer explained to have a
solar eclipse the moon, sun, earth have
to line up with moon in the middle.
The Bay Area is too far south to see a
total ring, but only two hours north and
especially near Eureka or Redding the
entire circle around the moon should be
visible, Braidman said.
The best way to look at the eclipse is
to not look directly at it. Braidman
warns that onlookers can do some seri-
ous eye damage.
Viewers should use something like
welder goggles, a pinhole camera or
solar viewers, like those at Chabots
observation deck.
The best views will be in the westward
direction, as the sun will be close to set-
ting. In the Bay Area head toward the
coast and make sure no mountains or tall
buildings are blocking the western sky-
line.
Other astronomical events viewable
from the Bay Area in the coming weeks
include a lunar eclipse on June 4. This is
when the moon passes behind the Earth.
The eclipse will occur in the early
morning between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. and
Chabots observatory deck will be open
for viewing.
A once-in-a-lifetime event is also in
the stars literally. The transit of Venus
is expected on June 5 between 3 p.m.
and 10 p.m.
The entire seven-hour period is how
long it takes for the planet Venus to pass
in front of the sun. The next transit of the
planet will be in 2117.
A spokesperson from the NASA Ames
Research Center at Moffett Field in
Mountain View said they are also plan-
ning a viewing for the upcoming rare
Venus sighting.
The Peninsula Astronomical Society is
planning a viewing for Sundays annular
solar eclipse at the Foothill College
observatory at 12345 El Monte Road in
Los Altos Hills.
For more information about that view-
ing visit pastro.org.
In San Francisco the Golden Gate
National Park Service is working with
the California Academy of Sciences in
front of the new Lands End visitors cen-
ter to view the eclipse as it occurs at the
ocean between 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
In Marin County the National Park
Service will be on Slacker Ridge
between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. with experts
on hand to help photograph the phenom-
enon.
Oaklands Chabot Space and Science
Center is located at 10000 Skyline Blvd.

ECLIPSE
HEATHER MURTAGH/DAILY JOURNAL
Teens wander through beads set up as
part of the Education Day at the Maker
Faire.
SATURDAY, MAY 19, 2012
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Its your nature to be
extremely enterprising and resourceful, especially in
situations where you have a chance to advance your
interests. Youll see a lot of such chances.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The only thing that can
stop you from achieving an important objective is
your own impatience. Slow down and size up situa-
tions before making any moves.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Although purely social
arrangements with friends will work out quite well,
this might not be true when it comes to commercial
activities. Choose your projects wisely.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Its OK to be feisty and
more responsive than usual to challenges, as long
as youre able to distinguish between competitive-
ness and sheer combativeness. Hold your own, but
without harming anyone in the process.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Youll have the where-
withal to effectively implement certain plans that
require bold measures. That courage you have now,
however, might not be as strong tomorrow.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- There is a strong likeli-
hood that youll become involved in an endeavor that
someone else has masterminded. Even if you have a
last-minute contribution to make, itll be meaningful.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Even if you are being
put under pressure to do something that has not
been well thought out, stand your ground and dont
yield until conditions improve.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Unless you keep
pace with your responsibilities, your workload tomor-
row might be more than you can handle, knocking
you totally off track.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You could be
harboring some rather extravagant inclinations that
would be detrimental to your fnancial wherewithal.
Do your thing as inexpensively as possible.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Its possible for you to
be as strong a fnisher as you are a starter, provided
you schedule your assignments sensibly. Dont at-
tempt to do too much simultaneously.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you have a public
speaking engagement, dont structure your remarks
too tightly. What you have to say will come off far
better if you work from an outline instead of a script.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your fnancial condi-
tions are likely to be a bit mixed, hovering between
some gains and some losses. However, if you dont
go wild, you could still do OK.
