The county should spend $10
million worth of sales tax revenue
in the next two scal years to pro-
vide subsidized child care through
a proposed Early Learning and
Care Trust Fund, according to a
recommendation by County
Manager John Maltbie coming
before the supervisors Tuesday.
Maltbie also backs funding
more than $530,000 in the next
two years to redesign and expand
library summer reading programs
at the countys 32 public facilities
and bookmobile. The plan is to
increase participating students
from an expected 19,000 this year
to 48,000 by 2015.
Athird recommendation coming
before the Board of Supervisors at
Tuesdays meeting calls for $3.5
million to create a county fire
vehicle replacement fund. A 35-
year-old water tanker and two re
engines older than 20 years old
need immediate replacement and
others will be evaluated later this
year. Two million dollars will be
contributed initially for the three
vehicles plus a $1.5 million
placeholder amount to continue
the replacement process. That g-
ure will be adjusted with the actual
purchase price, likely before the
September budget hearings.
The proposals are among the
latest batch of ideas up for discus-
sion and tentative allocation of
the Measure A half-cent sales tax
revenue approved by voters in
November. The child care propos-
al has two contingencies other
community resources must mach
the funds and, secondly, the Board
of Supervisors must adopt a com-
prehensive expenditure and pro-
gram plan recommended by the
county Ofce of Education.
The investment would be one of
prevention to avoid more costly
remediation down the road.
Although the county received
nearly $12 million in First 5 fund-
ing and CalWorks subsidies and
spent $4.7 million on its Pre to 3
program, more than 3,300 local
children who qualify for subsi-
dized preschool dont have a space
to accommodate them, according

The Foster City Council has
spent years trying to reduce a once
$4.8 million decit by eliminat-
ing 30 full-time positions since
2010, establishing a second tier
of reduced benets for new hires
and sharing fire personnel with
neighboring cities.
Two recent events, however,
have caused the decit to climb
back up to a projected $1.35 mil-
lion in the coming years the
loss of the citys biggest sales tax
producer and an increase in the
contributions the city has to make
to fund retiree pensions.
To eat into the decit, the City
Council will consider Monday
night whether it should ask city
residents to update the citys busi-
ness license tax on the November
ballot. Updating the business
license tax will raise an extra
$700,000 by scal year 2015-16
for the citys general fund.

It started with a hike.
Well, there was a bit before that.
The partnership of Trio Hikers
wine really began in 2005 when
Joe Vella, 73, asked a couple
friends Bob Nafziger, 76, and Joe
Ruggiero, 74, if they would be
interested in going on a hike.
Taking a hike is now a Tuesday
tradition for the friends who live
in Burlingame and Hillsborough.
But, that rst hike set the tone for
another activity the guys now
enjoy together making wine.
During 10-mile, and sometimes
longer, hikes, theres time to chat.
Those who like wine will
inevitably end up talking about
vino, said Ruggiero.
Blame Nafziger for taking it past
talking. When the guys took a
break on that rst hike to eat,

The Mi Rancho Market on North
B Street in downtown San Mateo
cleared a hurdle with the citys
Planning Commission Tuesday
night for a major expansion of the
carniceria across the street at the
long-vacant Blu-White Laundry &
Cleaners site.
Minerva Pulido rst opened the
4,000 square-feet market in 1995
when the street only had a couple
of shops on it near the Peninsula
Italian American Social Club.
The new two-story market at the
old laundry site will be 12,000
square feet with a full kitchen and
taqueria with 25 parking spaces.
Mi Rancho currently has no park-
ing spaces.
The market could be a much-
needed catalyst to begin a redevel-
opment of the north downtown
business district, Deputy Mayor
Robert Ross told the Daily
Journal.

Poll: Most men aspire to be dads
A recent Associated Press-WE tv
poll found more than 8 in 10 men said
they have always wanted to be fathers
or think theyd like to be one some-
day.
Debates about the different ways
women approach motherhood domi-
nate news coverage about parenthood
these days, with fathers experiences
often left unexamined.
Alook at what the poll found on how
men view fatherhood, and the changes
it has brought for those who have
become dads:
BECOMING A DAD
About 8 in 10 fathers surveyed said
they always knew they wanted to have
children, compared with about 7 in 10
mothers, and 69 percent of dads called
that long-standing desire to have chil-
dren an important factor in their deci-
sion to have kids.
Dads were more likely than moms in
the poll to say they saw positive
effects from fatherhood on their love
life and career, and they are just as
likely as moms to say it improved
their overall happiness, sense of
accomplishment and sense of purpose.
When weighing whether to become
a parent, mothers and fathers placed
similar levels of importance on where
they stood in their career and the
impact having kids might have on
their social life, and like mothers, saw
having found the right person to have
a child with and the joy of having chil-
dren as the most important considera-
tions.
ASPIRING TO FATHERHOOD
Men who do not have children were
just as likely as women without kids to
say they want them someday. Among
men under age 35, 91 percent are dads
already or say they think they would
like to have children someday.
Men were more likely than women
to say the main reason theyd like to
become fathers someday is to carry on
traditions or family history.
According to the poll, 14 percent of
men called that a top reason compared
with 4 percent of women. Women
place greater emphasis on wanting to
be a parent, to care for and raise a child
22 percent among women who want
children compared with 2 percent
among men.
MARRIED, WITH KIDS
Three-quarters of dads said they were
married when their first child was
born. Among those men who arent
married and who would like to have
children, about one-quarter say they
would consider having or adopting a
child without a partner, though 88 per-
cent within this group say they do
want to get married someday.
Men are a bit more skeptical than
women that a single mother can do as
good a job raising a child as two par-
ents can, and men are more likely to
say an increase in the number of single
mothers is bad for society. Still, about
half of men in the survey said the
growing variety in family arrange-
ments these days ultimately doesnt
make much difference.
The AP-WE tv poll was conducted
May 15-23, 2013, using
KnowledgePanel, GfKs probability-
based online panel. It involved online
interviews with 1,277 people age 18-
49, including interviews with 637
men. The survey has a margin of sam-
pling error of plus or minus 3.8 per-
centage points for all respondents; it
is larger for subgroups.
KnowledgePanel is constructed
using traditional telephone and mail
sampling methods to randomly recruit
respondents. People selected who had
no Internet access were given it for
free.

B
etween 1769 and March 1776, lit-
tle exploration occurred in the
southern section of the Bay. In
1776, Lt. Colonel Juan Bautista de Anza and
a group of soldiers camped at the Plain of
the Oaks-Cupertino, as they explored from
Monterey to the tip of the Bay-San
Francisco. Anza was in great pain due to a
leg injury and, after resting one night, the
group trod up what is now El Camino Real
toward San Francisco. Anzas task was to
choose a site for a Presidio and a Mission at
the tip of the Peninsula. Palo Alto had been
mentioned many times as a good site for a
Mission but the government in Mexico
wanted the Presidio and Mission at the tip
to defend against any Russian, English or
other intruders.
In November 1776, Father Pena, a
Franciscan priest from Monterey, visited
and chose a site on the Guadalupe River for
a mission. This site favored a potential port
that could be developed (Alviso) for travel
and trade to Mission Dolores that had
already been established at the tip of the
Peninsula. The object of the Mission was to
civilize the native Ohlone Indians by
teaching the agriculture and other arts that
would be used by the Indians to develop
their own land that would be given to them
by the church after they became Christians.
No resistance was offered by the natives as
they settled down to become European-type
citizens.
The nal site for a pueblo would be up to
the ofcer in charge of the Presidio of San
Francisco Lt. Moraga. The governor,
Felipe de Neve, wanted the pueblo on the
east side of Guadalupe River but Moraga
placed it closer to the river than Neve want-
ed. This would prove to be a big mistake
when wet periods ooded the pueblo and
destroyed the mission. In 1828, the mis-
sion was rebuilt on the present site of Santa
Clara University. This distance from the
pueblo caused friction among the settlers
until 200 Indians and the priests planted
trees and improved the road, the Alameda,
so the trip was more pleasant when services
were held at the Mission. St. Joseph Church
was built in San Jose in 1803 thus reducing
the need for all the services at the Mission.
The Mission was established on mud ats,
along the Guadalupe River in January 1777.
The rst church lasted until oods destroyed
the buildings the rst year. The second mis-
sion was moved further south toward the
pueblo. This attempt to develop a Mission
to the south along the Guadalupe River also
met with disaster when another ood wiped
out the structures. The next attempt was
more successful as the Mission site chosen
was quite a distance to the west of the creek.
The entire 1822-1825 church was destroyed
by re in October of 1826 and then rebuilt.
It now consisted of a quadrangle within the
compound that was made up of the church,
storerooms, priests residence and quarters
for the young Indian neophyte girls.
Outside the quadrangle were a guardhouse,

MILLBRAE Our
countrys economic
roller-coaster ride
has been interesting
and historic for
sure, but also very
troubling for many
families whove not
been as financially stable as others.
Recently though Ive been observing a
phenomenon with those we serve at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS. It may
be too early to confirm, but it appears that
there is a general state of confidence with
many families, along with the decisions and
choices they make during funeral
arrangements. Yes, I know you are thinking
that confidence is not a term you would
use to coincide with funeral arrangements,
but it appears to me that people I see are
tending to be more financially assured than
during the deepest years of The Great
Recession.
They say that the two things you cant
avoid are death and taxes. With that in
mind, during the economic downturn I saw a
very noticeable sense of thrift and
prudence with a lot of families who
experienced a death during that period.
Still, those who tended to cost shop at
various funeral homes selected CHAPEL
OF THE HIGHLANDS to handle funeral or
cremation arrangements. These families
found comfort with our service, and notably
with our more economic cost structure.
Now, lately the trend with families and
their funeral choices reminds me of the days
way before the recession hit. Its not that
people are utilizing their funds differently,
spending more or spending less, but that
they are more assertive and confident when
using their wallet. Seeing this over and over
gives me a good indication that something in
the economic climate is changing compared
to not that long ago.
Even though many of our honorable
elected officials in Sacramento and
Washington D.C. appear to be as inflexible
with economic issues as always, the air of
confidence with the families Ive been
dealing with means to me that these people
are feeling less pressured financially.
It is well known that when businesses do
well they hire more employees, and when
those employees are confident they will
spend their money on goods and services.
In turn, the companies that provide goods
and services will need competent employees
to create more goods, give more services,
and so onmaking a positive circle for a
healthy economy. In relation to that, after a
long period of U.S. manufacturing jobs
being sent over-seas there is news of a
growing number of companies bringing this
work back to the United States. Real Estate
values on the Peninsula remained in a good
state during the recession, but houses here
are now in demand more than ever.
Encouraging Hopeful and Positive
are words to describe the optimistic
vibrations that people are giving off. If the
community is becoming more comfortable
with spending, that indicates good health for
business and the enrichment of our
economic atmosphere. I hope Im right, so
lets all keep our fingers crossed.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

In 1893, the Mission had proved to be
very successful. The Indian population of
Santa Clara was now 1,271. The Mission
reported that it now had 5,000 cattle, 7,000
sheep, 2,200 horses and 30 mules on
Mission lands. Ample supplies of grain
wheat, barley and corn had been harvested.
In 1850, California became a state and the
Jesuit Order took over the Mission Santa
Clara. In 1851, Father John Nobili, S.J.,
was put in charge of the Mission and he
began a college on the Mission site. This is
the oldest university in California.

PALO ALTO New York Mayor Michael
Bloomberg used his platform as Stanford
Universitys commencement speaker on
Sunday to lobby for an immigration reform
plan that allows foreign students to remain
in the United States after they graduate.
Standing before a packed Stanford
Stadium on Sunday, Bloomberg noted that
about 30 percent of the universitys 5,000
graduates had attended Stanford on student
visas, but that many of them without a way
to work legally here would return to their
home countries to compete with American
companies.
We invite foreign students to study here,
we subsidize the universities they attend
with research funding and other aid, and
then, after those students have mastered the
material, we tell them to go somewhere
else, the mayor said during a brief speech
that also touched on the value of risk-taking
and civil rights. Its the most backward
economic policy you
could possibly come up
with, and Ive called it
national suicide.
Instead of letting such
home-schooled talent get
away, Bloomberg said
that every international
student who had studied
science, technology,
math or engineering
should have a green card
stapled to his or her diploma so they can
help our economy grow. He added that U.S.
residents who had been brought into the
country illegally as children should have
the opportunity to apply for nancial aid
and go to college. They have done nothing
wrong.
Bloomberg urged the audience to contact
their representatives and senators about the
immigration bill now under consideration
by Congress. Lawmakers from both parties
voted last week to begin formal debate on
the rst immigration overhaul in a genera-
tion, a proposal that would give an estimat-
ed 11 million immigrants in the U.S. ille-
gally a long and difcult path to citizen-
ship.
The mayor also discussed the U.S.
Supreme Courts forthcoming decisions in
two same-sex marriage cases, one challeng-
ing the constitutionality of a 1996 federal
law that prevents legally married couples
from accessing federal marriage benet s,
the other a ruling that will determine if
Californias voter-approved ban on same-
sex marriages lives or dies. The courts rul-
ings could come as soon as Monday.
There is no doubt in my mind these two
laws will soon be history, he said.
Marriage equality is the civil rights issue
of our time, and I believe it will become the
law of all 50 states, if not in my lifetime,
then in yours, Bloomberg said, proudly
remarking that same-sex couples have been
able to wed in New York state since June
2011.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The San Bruno man whose lobbing of a
rework under a police car sparked a large-
scale brawl between his family and ofcers
on Fourth of July 2011 was sentenced
Friday to two years of custody followed by a
year of mandatory supervision.
Wendell Jennings Rapada, 32, was con-
victed by a jury of felony battery on a police
ofcer, misdemeanor resisting arrest and
violating his earlier probation for a June
2010 unlawful possession of a rearm. He
faced up to four years in prison because of
the prior conviction which prosecutor
Aaron Fitzgerald sought at the hearing.
Instead, Rapada received the lesser split
sentence between two years jail with credit
of 136 days plus the year
of supervision.
Other Rapada family
members also tried for the
police encounter
Ephraim DeVera Rapada,
60, Crystal Anne Rapada,
29 and Ervin James
Rapada, 27 were
acquitted of numerous
assault charges but con-
victed of misdemeanor
resisting arrest.
The incident began when two San Bruno
police ofcers, acting as part of a county-
wide reworks abatement team, saw a M-
1000 lobbed from an apartment complex to
the street and roll underneath their car. They
chased the suspect, Wendell Rapada, to an
East Avenue complex and up to an outside
balcony.
The prosecution argued that as Rapada
punched at the ofcers, his cousins Crystal
and Ervin Rapada and father Ephraim DeVera
Rapada exited the apartment and joined in.
The elder Rapada was also accused of trying
to lift an ofcer over the balcony which is
13 feet above ground and another reported
feeling somebody try to remove his gun as
he lost consciousness. Another group of
ofcers responded to calls for backup and
arrested the four Rapadas charged in the
case.
The defense argued the Rapadas were act-
ing in self-defense and the victims of police
brutality.

SAN FRANCISCO The latest domestic
energy boom is sweeping through some of
the nations driest pockets, drawing millions
of gallons of water to unlock oil and gas
reserves from beneath the Earths surface.
Hydraulic fracturing, or the drilling tech-
nique commonly known as fracking, has
been used for decades to blast huge volumes of
water, ne sand and chemicals into the ground
to crack open valuable shale formations.
But now, as energy companies vie to
exploit vast reserves west of the
Mississippi, frackings new frontier is
expanding to the same lands where crops
have shriveled and waterways have dried up
due to severe drought.
In Arkansas, Colorado, New Mexico,
Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Wyoming, the
vast majority of the counties where fracking
is occurring are also suffering from drought,
according to an analysis of industry-com-
piled fracking data and the U.S. Department
of Agricultures official drought designa-
tions.

Gas leak clears convention center
SAN FRANCISCO A gas leak has
prompted the evacuation of San Franciscos
largest convention center, where an annual
meeting of endocrinologists was under way.
Pacic Gas & Electric spokesman J.D.
Guidi said the leak was caused when a con-
struction crew struck a gas main in the citys
South of Market neighborhood early
Sunday afternoon.
Two hours later, the utility did not have an
estimate for when the problem would be
xed.
The leak forced people who had been
attending the Endocrine Societys annual
meeting at Moscone Center to leave the
building. Anearby Whole Foods market and
other buildings in the immediate area of the
leak also were cleared as a precaution.
Motorists were being advised to stay out
of the area.

The focus is on fun!
By Calvin Woodward
WASHINGTON Its as if the United
States has two governments, one open and
one very much not. President Barack Obama
leads both, trying not to
butt heads with himself.
Since becoming presi-
dent, Obama has churned
out an impressive stream
of directives flowing
from his promise to
deliver the most trans-
parent administration in
history.
He established a center
devoted to declassifying
records and making them public. He
announced an open government initiative.
Dizzying quantities of information poured
into public databases. New ways were
devised to show taxpayers how their money
is spent. Allegiance was pledged to the rule
of law.
Then theres the other government.
It prosecutes leakers like no administra-
tion before it. It exercises state-secrets
privileges to quash court cases against it. It
hides a vast array of directives and legal
opinions underpinning government
actions not just intelligence and not all
of it about national security.
Now its known to conduct sweeping
phone-records and Internet surveillance of
ordinary people in programs kept on the
lowdown until an employee of a National
Security Agency contractor revealed them.
Dick Cheney said this would happen.
Known as the master manipulator of
power behind the scenes as George W.
Bushs vice president, Cheney predicted at
the dawn of Obamas presidency that the
relentless campaign criticism of shadowed
government would not come to much.
My guess is, once they get here and
theyre faced with the same problems we
deal with every day, that they will appreci-
ate some of the things weve put in place,
he said. Theyll need all the authority they
can muster.
The empire of secrets lives on.
Steven Aftergood, director of the Project
on Government Secrecy for the Federation
of American Scientists, says the U.S. has
both the most open government in the
world and arguably the most closed. Daily it
publishes an unmatched avalanche of infor-
mation.
But daily its national security secrets also
grow by staggering amounts.
Early on, there were signs Obama would
not upend the fundamental balance of this
parallel universe despite his pledges to take
the government in a new, open direction.
Glasnost on the Potomac would have to
wait.
One sign: Obamas 2009 marching orders
for classifying documents closely resem-
bled those of his predecessors at least back
to Ronald Reagan.
Also, a 2011 review of the Obama admin-
istrations handling of public records
requests under the Freedom of Information
Act noted the many positive words from the
president and his people about striving for
a culture of disclosure. This included an
executive order on his rst day in ofce. But
the review came to this jarring conclusion
when actions were measured against words:
Most indicators of openness have not
even returned to the average for the Bush
years, a period known for secrecy. The
report was by OMB Watch, now called the
Center for Effective Government.
On the bright side, Aftergood says, the
government puts more and better informa-
tion online than ever before. But at the
core, Classication activity is very high.
Secrecy has become an obstacle in many
areas of public policy. And we still are liv-
ing with a classication system that is a
legacy of the Cold War era.
The empire of secrets lives on
My guess is,
once they get here
and theyre faced
with the same
problems we deal
with every day, that
they will appreciate some of the
things weve put in place.
Theyll need all the authority
they can muster.

WASHINGTON An Internal
Revenue Service supervisor in
Washington says she was person-
ally involved in scrutinizing
some of the earliest applications
from tea party groups seeking tax-
exempt status, including some
requests that languished for more
than a year without action.
Holly Paz, who until recently
was a top deputy in the division
that handles applications for tax-
exempt status, told congressional
investigators she reviewed 20 to
30 applications. Her assertion
contradicts initial claims by the
agency that a
small group of
agents working
in an ofce in
Cincinnati were
solely respon-
sible for mis-
handling the
applications.
Paz, however,
provided no
evidence that senior IRS ofcials
ordered agents to target conserva-
tive groups or that anyone in the
Obama administration outside the
IRS was involved.
Instead, Paz described an agency
in which IRS supervisors in
Washington worked closely with
agents in the eld but didnt fully
understand what those agents were
doing. Paz said agents in
Cincinnati openly talked about
handling tea party cases, but she
thought the term was merely
shorthand for all applications
from groups that were politically
active conservative and liberal.
Paz said dozens of tea party
applications sat untouched for
more than a year while eld agents
waited for guidance from
Washington on how to handle
them. At the time, she said,
Washington ofcials thought the
agents in Cincinnati were pro-
cessing the cases.
Paz was among the first IRS
employees to be interviewed as
part of a joint investigation by
the House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee
and the House Ways and Means
Committee.
Congressional investigators
have interviewed at least six IRS
employees as part of their inquiry.
The Associated Press has reviewed
transcripts from three interviews
with Paz and with two agents,
Gary Muthert and Elizabeth
Hofacre, from the Cincinnati
ofce.
The IRS declined comment for
this story.
Ayearlong audit by the agencys
inspector general found that IRS
agents had improperly targeted
conservative political groups for
additional and sometimes onerous
scrutiny when those groups
applied for tax-exempt status.
The audit found no evidence that
Washington officials ordered or
authorized the targeting. But the
IRS watchdog blamed ineffective
management by senior IRS of-
cials for allowing it to continue
for nearly two years during the
2010 and 2012 elections.
Since the revelations became
public last month, much of the
agencys leadership has been
replaced and the Justice
Department has started a criminal
investigation.

In post-Great Recession
America, which is the bigger bar-
rier to opportunity race or
class?
A decade ago, the U.S. Supreme
Court kept the focus on race as a
barrier, upholding the right of col-
leges to make limited use of racial
preferences to ensure a diverse stu-
dent body. But in a ruling due this
month, the court is widely expect-
ed to roll back that decision. Such
an outcome would shift attention
more toward a less constitutional-
ly controversial practice: giving a
boost to socio-economically dis-
advantaged students, regardless of
race.
If that happens, it would reect
more than just a more conserva-
tive makeup of the justices. Over
the last decade, clogged social
mobility and rising economic
inequality have shifted the conver-
sation on campuses and in the
country as a whole.
As a barrier to opportunity,
class is getting more attention,
while race is fading.
The cultural zeitgeist has
changed, said Peter Sacks, author
of the book Tearing Down the
Gates: Confronting the Class
Divide in American Education.
The Great Recession really exac-
erbated the vast and growing
inequalities between rich and poor
in America, he said. Talking
openly about class has been
taboo, he added, but in recent years
the evidence of widening inequality
has mounted and its become OK
for the so-called 99 percent to talk
about the 99 percent.
You can see the shift in polling,
like surveys from the Pew
Research Center, which shows the
percentage of Americans who feel
racial discrimination is the chief
impediment to black progress is
falling, from 37 percent in 1995
to 23 percent in 2012.
Polling on affirmative action
varies widely depending on how
questions are phrased, but an ABC
News/Washington Post poll
released Wednesday showed strong
feelings about using race in col-
lege admissions: Just 22 percent
of Americans support letting uni-
versities consider applicants race
as a factor, and 76 percent oppose
the practice.
Affirmative action: Race vs. class
By Amanda Lee Myers
At least 24 men convicted or
charged with murder or rape based
on bite marks on the esh of vic-
tims have been exonerated since
2000, many after spending more
than a decade in prison. Now a
judges ruling later this month in
New York could help end the prac-
tice for good.
A small, mostly ungoverned
group of dentists carry out bite
mark analysis and their ndings
are often key evidence in prosecu-
tions, even though there is no sci-
entific proof that teeth can be
matched denitively to a bite into
human skin.
DNA has outstripped the useful-
ness of bite mark analysis in many
cases: The FBI doesnt use it and
the American Dental Association
does not recognize it.
Bite mark evidence is the
poster child of unreliable forensic
science, said Chris Fabricant,
director of strategic litigation at
the New York-based Innocence
Project, which helps wrongfully
convicted inmates win freedom
through DNAtesting.
Supporters of the method, which
involves comparing the teeth of
possible suspects to bite mark
patterns on victims, argue it has
helped convict child murderers and
other notorious criminals, includ-
ing serial killer Ted Bundy.

PYONGYANG, North Korea
North Koreas top governing body
on Sunday proposed high-level
nuclear and security talks with the
United States in an appeal sent just
days after calling off talks with
rival South Korea.
The powerful National Defense
Commission headed by North
Korean leader Kim Jong Un issued a
statement through state media pro-
posing senior-level talks to ease
tensions and discuss a peace treaty
formally ending the Korean War. a
The rare proposal for talks
between the Korean War foes fol-
lows months of acrimony over
North Koreas deant launch of a
long-range rocket in December and
a nuclear test in February, provoca-
tive acts that drew tightened U.N.
and U.S. sanctions. The U.S. and
South Korea
countered the
moves by step-
ping up annual
springtime mil-
itary exercises
that prompted
North Korea to
warn of a
nuclear war
on the Korean
Peninsula.
However, as tensions subsided in
May and June, Pyongyang has
made tentative overtures to re-
establish dialogue with South
Korea and Washington. Foreign
analysts say impoverished North
Korea often expresses interest in
talks after raising tensions with
provocative behavior in order to
win outside concessions.
In a notable shift in propaganda
in Pyongyang, posters and bill-
boards calling on North Koreans to
wipe away the American imperial-
ist aggressors have been taken
down in recent weeks.
There was no immediate
response from Washington, but
President Barack Obamas envoy
on North Korea said Friday that
while the U.S. is not averse to talk-
ing with Pyongyang, the bar for
resuming engagement is higher in
the wake of repeated threats and
provocations.
Meanwhile, a recent proposal
from Pyongyang for Cabinet-level
talks with South Korea the rst
in six years led to plans for two
days of meetings in Seoul earlier
this week. The talks fell apart on
Tuesday over who would lead the
two delegations.
North Korea fought against U.S.-
led United Nations and South
Korean troops during the three-
year Korean War in the early
1950s, and Pyongyang does not
have diplomatic relations with
either government. The Korean
Peninsula remains divided by a
heavily fortied border.
Reunifying the Korean Peninsula
was a major goal of North Koreas
two late leaders, Kim Il Sung and
Kim Jong Il, and is a legacy inher-
ited by current leader Kim Jong Un.
North Korea is expected to draw
attention to Koreas division in the
weeks leading up to the 60th
anniversary in July marking the
close of the Korean conict, which
ended in an armistice. A peace
treaty has never been signed for-
mally ending the war.
Washingtons top worry is North
Koreas nuclear weapons program.
Pyongyang is estimated to have a
handful of crude nuclear devices and
has been working toward building a
bomb it can mount on a missile
capable of striking the United
States.
Earlier this year, Kim Jong Un
enshrined the drive to build a
nuclear arsenal, as well as building
the economy, as national goals.
North Korea claims the need to
build atomic weapons to defend the
country against what it sees as a
U.S. nuclear threat in Korea and the
region.
North Korea will not give up its
nuclear ambitions until the entire
Korean Peninsula is free of nuclear
weapons, a spokesman from the
National Defense Commission said
in a statement carried by the
Korean Central News Agency.
The denuclearization of the
Korean Peninsula does not only
mean dismantling the nuclear
weapons of the North, the
spokesman said, but also should
involve denuclearizing the whole
peninsula, including South Korea,
and aims at totally ending the U.S.
nuclear threats to North Korea.
NKorea wants high-level talks
By Lara Jakes
WASHINGTON The Obama
administration, trying to avoid get-
ting drawn deeper into Syrias civil
war, has pointed to the U.S.-led
invasion of Iraq in 2003 as a sym-
bol of what can go wrong when
Americas military wades into
Middle East conicts.
But experts say the White House
is looking at the wrong Iraq war,
especially as the U.S. reluctantly
considers a no-y zone over Syria
to stop President Bashar Assad
from continuing to use his air
power to crush rebel forces or kill
civilians.
A no-y zone is a territory over
which warring aircraft are not
allowed to y. The U.S. and interna-
tional allies have enforced them in
several military conicts over the
past two decades.
When he took ofce in 2009,
President Barack Obama promised
to end the U.S. war in Iraq as an
example of refocusing on issues
that had direct impact on
Americans. By the time the U.S
military withdrew from Iraq in
2011, almost 4,500 American sol-
diers and more than 100,000 Iraqis
had died. The war toppled Saddam
Hussein but also sparked wide-
spread sectarian ghting and ten-
sions that still simmer.
But when considering a no-y
zone, experts point to 1992, a year
after the Gulf War. Thats when the
U.S. imposed a weakly-enforced
no-y zone over southern Iraq and
could not prevent Saddam, a Sunni
Muslim, from persecuting and
killing hundreds of thousands of
Shiites whom he viewed as a polit-
ical threat .
That failure is now being used as a
case in point of why the U.S. should
or shouldnt police the Syrian sky
to prevent Assad from accelerating a
two-year death toll that last week
reached 93,000.
The White House is undecided on
whether it will impose a no-y zone
over Syria, as some have demanded.
Egypts president, Mohammed
Morsi, on Saturday called for a U.N.
endorsed no-y zone.

as symbol for one in Syria

BAGHDAD Ablistering string
of apparently coordinated bomb-
ings and a shooting across Iraq
killed at least 51 and wounded
dozens Sunday, spreading fear
throughout the country in a wave of
violence that is raising the
prospect of a return to widespread
sectarian killing a decade after a
U.S.-led invasion.
Violence has spiked sharply in
Iraq in recent months, with the
death toll rising to levels not seen
since 2008. Nearly 2,000 have
been killed since the start of
April, including more than 180
this month.
The surge in bloodshed accompa-
nies rising sectarian tensions with-
in Iraq and growing concerns that
its unrest is being fanned by the
Syrian civil war raging next door.
One of the deadliest attacks came
in the evening when a suicide
bomber blew himself up inside a
cafe packed with young people in
the largely Shiite neighborhood of
al-Ameen in southeastern Baghdad.
The attack killed 11 and wounded
25, according to police.
Clothes shop owner Saif
Hameed, 24, was watching TV at
home when he heard the blast near-
by. He saw several of the wounded
being loaded into ambulances.
It seems the terrorists are target-
ing any place they can, no matter
what it is, he said. The main
things for them are to kill as many
Iraqis as they can and keep the peo-
ple living in fear.
Most of Sundays car bombs hit
Shiite-majority areas and caused
most of the casualties. The blasts
hit half a dozen cities and towns in
the south and center of the country.
There was no claim of responsi-
bility for any of the attacks, but
they bore the hallmark of al-Qaida
in Iraq, which uses car bombs, sui-
cide bombers and coordinated
attacks, most aimed at security
forces and members of Iraqs Shiite
majority.

ISTANBUL Riot police ring
tear gas and water cannons
repelled thousands of anti-govern-
ment protesters attempting to
converge on Istanbuls central
Taksim Square on Sunday,
unbowed even as Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan defended
his crackdown at a rally of his sup-
porters.
Aday after police quashed an 18-
day sit-in at the squares Gezi Park,
Erdogan spoke to hundreds of
thousands of his supporters on
one side of Turkeys largest city,
and throngs of protesters angrily
tried to regroup and reclaim
Taksim.
The square had become the sym-
bolic center of defiance against
Erdogans government.
The contrast between the two
events highlighted growing divi-
sions in Turkish society, which
many say have been exacerbated
by Erdogans ery rhetoric as he
faced down the most widespread
protests in his 10-year tenure.

Draper University of Heroes
Editor,
I read with particular interest the
article following the Draper
University of Heroes in downtown
San Mateo (Bang with Friends gets a
Boost in the June 13 edition of the
Daily Journal). I was kind of hoping
the think tank nature of helping
smart entrepreneurs develop startups
might include a few businesses to
solve some of our more sophisticated
social and nancial challenges.
Perhaps these are yet to come.
However, the article prominently fea-
tured an idea spawned by three young
drunk fellows who posited whether
they thought most guys wanted to
hook up rst, rather than date. Im
not sure this is a problem we didnt
already know the answer to. In the
future, would you mind including
more substantive and interesting
ideas being fostered by this innova-
tive program?

Caltrain modernization
Editor,
Regarding the article, Caltrain
board to adopt $120 million budget,
in the June 6 edition of the Daily
Journal, is this article about the same
Caltrain that wants to modernize to
the tune of $1.5 billion of local-
regional, federal and California tax-
payers funding? Is this the same
Caltrain that has boasted increased
ridership at unprecedented growth will
help pay for the project and cause
Caltrain to be nancially sound? Is
this the same Caltrain that is telling
us electrication of the corridor is the
greatest thing since apple pie? Is this
the same Caltrain or is this another
Caltrain? If this is the Caltrain that
wants to modernize, someone must
rethink the whole project and deter-
mine just exactly how much of a
money pit Caltrain is and the modern-
ization project will be for already
strapped California taxpayers.
If Caltrain cant be operated in the
black now without one-time funds,
what will happen later? Is a miracle in
the making, i.e. all of a sudden
Caltrain becomes nancially solid?
Looking at this now, someone must
do some responsible decision making
about Caltrain and its further opera-
tion and electrication. Of course,
Caltrain can always turn to
Californias cash cow? Tax payers?
When are the residents of California
going to learn?

Letters to the editor

M
embers of Congress are
calling for the prosecution
of Edward Snowden for
leaking the existence of far-reaching
U.S. surveillance programs. Given
that Snowden, 29, says he knew he
was breaking the law to expose what
he considered to be governmental
abuse, he surely will be prosecuted.
He may even desire it.
Yet high-ranking members of
Congress including California
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman
of the Senate Intelligence Committee
cant get away with just calling for
Snowdens head and holding a few pro
forma hearings on what his leaks
have revealed. They need to engage in
introspection about their failure to
oversee and put a check on security
subcontractors, a shadowy arm of the
secret government that has mush-
roomed since the 9/11 attacks.
Although he previously worked for
the CIA, Snowden was not a govern-
ment employee. He wasnt even a
high-ranking ofcer within Booz
Allen Hamilton, the security contrac-
tor for which he worked. In inter-
views, Snowden has stated he was sur-
prised that anyone in the U.S. securi-
ty eld, much less a low-level con-
tractor, would have such broad access
to phone call logs, email records and
other communications of U.S. citi-
zens. He said he felt obligated to
inform the public as to that which is
done in their name and that which is
done against them.
Booz Allen Hamilton is one of sev-
eral rms that have cashed in on post-
9/11 security concerns to do front-
line work of collecting and analyzing
communications data. Along the way,
theyve created a revolving door
between their corporate ofces and
the National Security Agency.
Whether you see Snowden as a trai-
tor or a hero, you should be alarmed
that a private employee at his level
could access so much personal data
and use it for whatever purpose he
decided. This fact alone reveals that
the governments vast store of secret
data isnt secret at all. It is accessible
to thousands upon thousands with
security clearances, many of whom
have not been adequately vetted.
Some have compared Snowden to
Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, another
low-ranking computer specialist with
a security clearance who, in a self-
proclaimed act of conscience, leaked
national security secrets. Yet there are
big differences between the two.
Manning was a member of the U.S.
military, not a private rm, and he
leaked a data dump of vast amounts of
information, some of which arguably
could be used to expose CIAagents
and contacts. Snowden, by contrast,
exposed the existence of a pair of sur-
veillance programs the government
was attempting to keep secret, not the
targets of any surveillance.
We agree that communications
metadata could be a vital tool to ward
off possible terrorist attacks. But use
of such tracking must be highly
focused, with safeguards to prevent
misuse. Snowden has revealed gaping
holes in the system, which Congress
and Obama have enabled.
Leaks show secret data really isnt The determined
environmentalist
T
ime magazine called him a cold warrior and the
worlds best green environmentalist. He has
spent decades writing about climate change. Bill
McKibben organized the online revolt against the pro-
posed Keystone pipeline through 350.org with 5,200
simultaneous demonstrations in 81 countries. He has
been called by some an extremist. But one thing he is,
for sure, is determined. In a photograph, hes standing in
the snow (not very deep because it is one of the warmest
winters ever in the north-
east), looking very tall,
very lean, very strong and
very determined.
The only time I met
McKibben was when he
was a little boy. His
father, Gordon McKibben,
was a college friend. We
worked on the school
newspaper together and
remained in touch until his
untimely death from brain
cancer. Gordon McKibben
was a well-respected news-
paperman. His first job
after college was with the Wall Street Journal. Then he
was recruited by the Boston Globe where he served as
their business editor, then London bureau chief and final-
ly as the papers ombudsman. He also wrote a book
about Gillette, the razor company.
When I worked for General Electric, I was sent to their
Hanford Works in Washington state to do a series of arti-
cles on the companys plutonium plant for a San
Francisco newspaper. I visited McKibben, who lived in
Kirkland. He suggested a tour of the Grand Coulee Dam.
On the way he pointed out how dry, brown and barren
eastern Washington was versus the rainy and verdant
western sections. As we approached the dam, you could
begin to see the results. Suddenly there were green and
fertile fields. It was the first time I had seen one of these
monumental structures, a tribute to American engineer-
ing. It was awesome. I dont know how Bill McKibben
would feel about dams today, but those were different
times.
***
When his son was home the summer after graduating
from Harvard he had served as editor of the college
newspaper, The Crimson he received a phone call
from William Shawn, the editor of the New Yorker. The
senior McKibben picked up the phone and was very
excited. Young Bill was invited to work for the maga-
zine. The New Yorker was considered the top place if you
were a serious writer. It is said that John McPhee and
other notables sweated over every word, every punctua-
tion mark, every sentence and every paragraph before
submitting articles. Bill didnt seem to share his fathers
enthusiasm and was on the verge of turning down this
incredible offer when his father started jumping up and
down and waving his hands and writing messages to the
effect that this was something he just had to do. So Bill
McKibben went to work for The New Yorker and stayed
there until Shawn was fired in 1987. It was a surprise
when McKibben left with the old-time Shawn hires. This
was not something he had to do.
Bill McKibben and his young wife, also a writer,
moved to a cabin in the New York Adirondacks where
amenities were non-existent. He walked the talk as he
wrote his first book, The End of Nature and predicted
the terrible impacts of climate change if we did not
change our ways. He and his wife lived an energy-effi-
cient life out in the winter cold and summer heat. When
he couldnt convince enough people through his writing,
he became an activist and launched a digital activist
group which organized climate rallies across the world.
His official website proclaims: weve built a new earth.
Its not as nice as the old one. Its the greatest mistake
humans have ever made, one that we will pay for literally
forever. What happens next is up to us.
***
But before that, McKibben decided to test and improve
his strength. He persevered for a year of grueling train-
ing for long-distance cross country ski racing which he
describes in AYear of Living Strenuously. He wrote of
his physical struggles, the pain, the exhaustion. At the
same time, his father was in a nursing home trying to
stave off death. In his book, Bill McKibben says his
physical challenge didnt compare to what his father was
going through in fighting cancer. The father never lived
to see the full fame and accolades his son would receive.
And while the father may not have agreed with every-
thing his son wrote or said, you bet he was proud.

THE ASSOCATED PRESS
NEWYORK The investment landscape
can be a scary place.
This years stock market surge has stalled
and the market is too choppy to provide any
sort of reassurance. Savings accounts earn
practically nothing. Bonds, a traditional
haven, seem like a poor choice because
interest rates are likely to go up. The stocks
people invest in for safe, steady income, like
utilities and health care, arent as cheap as
they used to be.
The Associated Press asked ve experts
where theyre putting their money in these
uncertain times. Their suggestions are opin-
ions, and you should do your own research
before making any decisions.
Blake Howells, portfolio manager and ana-
lyst at Becker Capital Management in
Portland, Ore.
His idea: Big-name tech companies,
regi onal banks
Howells likes Microsoft ($34.40 per
share) and Apple ($430.05 per share), but
not necessarily for their best-known prod-
ucts.
He likes Microsoft not for the Windows
operating system, which has garnered mixed
reviews, but for the servers it sells that
make big companies and big data farms run.
He likes Apple not for the iPhone and iPad
after all, the companys stock is down 19
percent this year and its largely because
people are worried that Apple cant keep
churning out blockbuster gadgets but
because of the iOS operating system. He
thinks it will help Apple keep customers
who wont want to go through the hassle of
switching all the information on their
iPhones and iPads to another system. That
gives it a little bit more sticking power than
a BlackBerry or a Nokia, Howells says.
He likes certain regional banks, like
Pittsburgh-based PNC Financial Services
Group ($71 per share) and Minneapolis-
based U.S. Bancorp ($35.01 per share), cred-
iting their plain-vanilla businesses of mak-
ing loans and accepting deposits. He says
theyre in much better shape than they were
at the start of the downturn, before the 2008
nancial crisis. But hes iffy on the mega-
banks, even if some are selling at prices
much lower than before the nancial crisis.
At the end of the day, we dont know
whats in their trading books, Howells
says. And any time you have volatile mar-
kets, you can have some unpleasant surpris-
es.
Rob Lutts, president and chief investment
officer of Cabot Money Management in
Salem, Mass.
His idea: Energy stocks
Lutts predicts that domestic energy produc-
tion will continue to expand, fueled by new
technology. Hes especially interested in
companies that make equipment for special-
ized production methods, and has an eye on a
Houston-based company called Dril-Quip
Inc. ($89.54 per share), which makes equip-
ment for deepwater drilling.
The U.S. is producing more crude and nat-
ural gas. The International Energy Agency
predicts the U.S. will become the worlds
biggest oil producer by 2017, and will pro-
duce all the energy it needs by 2035.
If youre going to pick one cost that
impacts all of America, its energy, Lutts
says. And its unappreciated, how the ener-
gy industry has been turned upside down by
new innovation.
Margie Patel, senior portfolio manager at
Wells Fargo Capital Management in Boston
Her idea: Consumer stocks
Patel likes companies that make the
products we all consume every day, from
groceries and cosmetics to cleaning sup-
plies. Returns can be more modest than in
other sectors, at least when the market is ris-
ing, but theyre also more stable in bad
times. Lower prices for some of the com-
modities that companies need to make their
products will trim costs. On Friday, the
Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan
monthly survey reported that while con-
sumer sentiment came in slightly below
expectations in June, May was at a nearly
six-year high.
The population is growing, and people
have a little bit more money in their pocket
to spend on a range of products, Patel says.
And while the U.S. economic growth looks
only moderate, she says, its still positive
growth, and its still sustainable.
Mickey Segal, managing partner at Nigro
Karlin Segal & Feldstein in Los Angeles
His idea: Apartments
To Segal, its a great time to buy apart-
ment-related investments, thanks to a com-
bination of high demand and low supply.
He thinks that more people will have to
rent apartments because its tough to qualify
for a home loan. And with higher mortgage
rates all but inevitable as the Fed prepares to
pull back on bond buying, some lower-
income buyers may not be able to afford a
home. Already, U.S. homeownership is at
65 percent, its lowest rate since 1995,
according to the Census Bureau.
Another trend that could encourage rent-
ing is the tighter supply of homes. In some
areas, investor groups are buying up houses
for rental properties and hoping to sell them
later for a prot. That limits the number of
homes for sale. The National Association of
Realtors, which advocates for home buying,
says there arent enough existing homes to
keep up with demand.
There also arent as many new apartment
units coming on line. Builders broke ground
on new apartments at an annualized rate of
234,000 in April, compared with 351,000 at
the same period in 2005. And while con-
struction was up this April compared with a
year ago, it was still down 40 percent from
the previous month.
Put it all together and you can expect
higher rental prices. The median asking rent
for a vacant apartment was $718 per month
in the rst quarter, according to the Census.
That was roughly at from the year before,
but up 5 percent from two years ago.
You have more people looking for a
place to live who either lost their homes or
couldnt afford their homes, Segal says.
And theres been no new real development
happening for a few years.
Segal recommends investing in limited
partnerships, which are offered through bro-
kerage rms.
Anton Bayer, CEO of Up Capital
Management in Granite Bay, Calif.
His idea: Corporate oating-rate
and shorter-term bonds
Pay attention, because this one is a little
complicated.
The Federal Reserve has been buying $85
billion worth of government bonds each
month to try to make long-term loans
cheaper and stimulate the economy. As long
as the Fed is propping up demand for bonds,
the Treasury doesnt have to worry too much
about enticing buyers and can pay out low
interest rates on them. If the Fed pulls back
on its bond-buying spree something that
Chairman Ben Bernanke has said could hap-
pen soon then the interest rate on bonds
will go up.
Thats bad for people who already hold the
Treasury bonds. Heres why: Most Treasury
bonds pay out a xed rate. If you own a 10-
year Treasury note that pays 2 percent inter-
est, and rates go up to 3 percent, youre still
going to get paid 2 percent. That means
youre missing out on investing in a higher-
paying bond. It also means that the underly-
ing value of your bond is going to go down:
No one wants to buy a bond with a 2 percent
yield in a 3 percent yield market. You can get
all your money back if you wait until the
bond matures, but that will take 10 years.

Where to invest in an uncertain market
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand
Google is launching Internet-
beaming antennas into the strato-
sphere aboard giant, jellyfish-
shaped balloons with the lofty
goal of getting the entire planet
online.
Eighteen months in the works,
the top-secret project was
announced Saturday in New
Zealand, where up to 50 volunteer
households are already beginning
to receive the Internet briey on
their home computers via translu-
cent helium balloons that sail by
on the wind 12 miles above Earth.
While the project is still in the
very early testing stages, Google
hopes eventually to launch thou-
sands of the thin, polyethylene-
film inflatables and bring the
Internet to some of the more
remote parts of the globe, narrow-
ing the digital divide between the
2.2 billion people who are online
and the 4.8 billion who arent .
If successful, the technology
might allow countries to leapfrog
the expense of installing fiber-
optic cable, dramatically increas-
ing Internet usage in places such
as Africa and Southeast Asia.
Its a huge moonshot, a really
big goal to go after, said project
leader Mike Cassidy. The power
of the Internet is probably one of
the most transformative technolo-
gies of our time.
The so-called Project Loon was
developed in the clandestine
Google X lab that also came up
with a driverless car and Googles
Web-surng eyeglasses.
Google would not say how much
it is investing in the project or
how much customers will be
charged when it is up and running.
The rst person to get Google
Balloon Internet access this week
was Charles Nimmo, a farmer and
entrepreneur in the small town of
Leeston who signed up for the
experiment. Technicians attached
a bright red, basketball-size
receiver resembling a giant
Google map pin to the outside of
his home.
In a successful preliminary test,
Nimmo received the Internet for
about 15 minutes before the 49-
foot-wide transmitting balloon he
was relying on floated out of
range. The rst thing he did was
check the weather forecast because
he wanted to nd out if it was a
good time for crutching his
sheep, or removing the wool
around their rear ends.
Nimmo is among the many rural
folk, even in developed countries,
who cant get broadband access.
After ditching his dial-up four
years ago in favor of satellite
Internet service, he has gotten
stuck with bills that sometimes
exceed $1,000 a month.
Its been weird, Nimmo said of
the Google Balloon Internet expe-
rience. But its been exciting to
be part of something new.
In recent years, military and
aeronautical researchers have used
tethered balloons to beam Internet
signals back to bases on Earth.
Googles balloons would be
untethered and out of sight.
Google wants entire
planet to be online
By Laura Olson and Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO The
Legislature passed a major piece of
the federal Affordable Care Act on
Saturday, opting to expand
Medicaid to 1.4 million low-
income Californians, as it rushed to
meet its deadline to complete a state
budget for the coming scal year.
The action came a day after law-
makers passed the main budget bill
outlining a $96.3 billion spending
plan for the scal year that starts in
July.
Saturdays votes were on a hand-
ful of targeted bills. They included
ones that would provide college
scholarships for middle class fami-
lies, increase grants for those in the
welfare-to-work program, restore
dental care for low-income adults,
distribute money for school energy
projects and strengthen oversight
of the California Public Utilities
Commission.
The centerpiece legislation was
the expansion of Medicaid, which
is called Medi-Cal in California.
Broadening the entitlement pro-
gram to reduce the number of unin-
sured people in the country is one of
the cornerstones of President
Barack Obamas national health
care reforms.
Several Democratic lawmakers
called Saturdays vote historic.
We dont know for certain that
this will contain the costs; thats
certainly the goal. But ... we also
make sure that health care is not
considered a privilege of the fortu-
nate few but as a basic human
right, said Sen. Mark Leno, D-San
Francisco. Thats what were
implementing today. This is a big
deal.
Republicans raised concerns
about whether California can afford
the expansion over the long run,
especially once the federal govern-
ment drops its commitment from
100 percent to 90 percent.
Democrats included a provision
in the legislation that allows for
future lawmakers to reconsider the
expansion if the federal govern-
ments share drops below 70 per-
cent.
The federal government will pay
the full cost of expanding the low-
income health program, which is
called Medi-Cal in California, for
the rst three years. It will gradual-
ly reduce payments to 90 percent
starting in 2020, putting the rest of
the cost on the states that adopt the
expansion.
Legislative Analyst Mac Taylor
has estimated that by taking on new
enrollees, the state could be respon-
sible for between $300 million and
$1.3 billion a year starting in
2020.
Medicaid expanded in final budget vote
WASHINGTON Mounting
scandals at the Internal Revenue
Service are jeopardizing critical
funding for the agency as it gears
up to play a big role in President
Barack Obamas health care law.
Obama sought a significant
budget increase for the IRS for
next year, when the agency will
start doling out subsidies to help
people buy health insurance on
state-based exchanges.
Congressional Republicans, how-
ever, see management problems at
the IRS as an opportunity to limit
the agencys funding just as it is
trying to put in place the massive
new law.
Republicans have been ghting
the health care law ever since
Democrats enacted it in 2010
without a single GOP vote. Unable
to repeal the law, some
Republicans hope to starve it by
refusing to fund its implementa-
tion.
The IRS scandals are giving
them a timely excuse.
I think its safe to say theyre
not going to get the kind of
increase theyre asking for, said
Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Fla., chair-
man of the House appropriations
subcommittee that funds the IRS.
The question is, based on their
bad behavior, are they going to
end up with less money?
Crenshaw said.
Last month, the IRS was rocked
by revelations that agents had tar-
geted tea party and other conserva-
tive groups for extra scrutiny
when the groups applied for tax-
exempt status during the 2010 and
2012 elections. Afew weeks later,
an inspector generals report said
that the agency had spent lavishly
on employee conferences during
the same time period.
From 2010 through 2012, the
IRS spent nearly $50 million on
employee conferences.

Repeat winners in county badminton
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There is nothing more stressful than hav-
ing to live up to others expectations. Its
even worse when you have those same
expectations.
Thats what Burlingame badminton play-
er Jan Banquiles has faced the last several
years. One of the top singles players in the
nation in his age group, Banquiles was
expected to win several Central Coast
Section titles. After a fth-place nish as
part of a doubles team his freshman year,
Banquiles has moved up the standings. He
nished fourth in singles his sophomore
year and was runner-up last year as a junior.
This year, he nally sealed the deal, win-
ning the CCS boys singles championship.
For his efforts, Banquiles is a repeat win-
ner of the Daily Journals Boys Badminton
Player of the Year honor.
A lot of people expected me to nally
get it this year, Banquiles said. But I still
think it was still a big accomplishment.
Sal Banquiles, Burlingame coach and
Jans dad, said the goal this year was to
nally win that elusive CCS title.
We prepared for this. I gave him extra
training and then I usually invited good
players to train with him, coach Banquiles
said. If he wanted to win CCS, he had to
work harder. There are a lot of good players
in CCS.
The extra work definitely paid off.
Banquiles won all four of his CCS matches
in straight sets, beating Saratogas Derek
Chao 15-12, 15-4 in the championship
match.
Banquiles nal match was a composite of
his entire tournament. Despite not drop-
ping a set, he was pushed in the rst set of
each of his matches, allowing double-digit
points in three of four matches. In the sec-
ond set, however, he routed his opponent.
The most points anyone took off Banquiles
in a second set was eight points.
This year, there was no one I was scared
to play, Banquiles said. I remember my
sophomore year, it was difcult. There were
so many more (good) players back then
who were still in high school.
Unlike a lot of nationally ranked players
who dont play high school badminton,
Banquiles actually enjoys the high school
season. Not so much for the competition
he dominated this year in Peninsula
Athletic League play but for the cama-
raderie.

SAN ANTONIO With the old
Manu Ginobili back, the San
Antonio Spurs looked like champs
again.
One more victory and their Big
Three, not Miamis, will be the
one that rules the NBA.
Ginobili broke out of a slump in
a big way with 24 points and 10
assists in his rst start of the sea-
son, and the Spurs beat the Heat
114-104 on Sunday night to take a
3-2 lead.
Tony Parker scored 26 points,
Tim Duncan had 17 points and 12
rebounds, and Ginobili had his
highest-scoring game of the sea-
son as the Spurs became the rst
team to shoot 60 percent in a
nals game in four years.
Danny Green smashed the NBA
Finals record for 3-pointers with
six more and scored 24 points.
Kawhi Leonard nished with 16,
but the stage was set when
Ginobili trotted out with Duncan,
Parker and the rest of starters in
what could have been the last
nals home game for a trio thats
meant so much to San Antonio.
The AT&T Center crowd roared
when Ginobili was the last Spurs
player announced and chanted his

ATLANTA Freddie Freeman
singled three times and drove in
one run, Julio Teheran pitched six
innings and the Atlanta Braves
beat the San Francisco Giants 3-0
on Sunday night.
Atlanta won its second straight
to take the three-game series and
increase its NL East lead to 6 1/2
games.
San Francisco, the defending
World Series champion, has lost
14 of its last 20 on the road, but
the Giants remained just one game
behind Arizona in the NL West.
Braves closer Craig Kimbrel
pitched a scoreless ninth to earn
his 19th save in 22 chances.
Kimbrel struck out Andres Torres
and Joaquin Arias before retiring
Nick Noonan on a yout.
Freeman, who began the night
hitless in 11 career appearances
against Giants starter Tim
Lincecum, singled in his rst three
at-bats and improved his average
to .456 with runners in scoring
position third-best in the
majors.

name in the second half, a familiar sight and
sound in San Antonio but not during what
had been a miserable series for the former
Sixth Man of the Year.
Hes obviously very popular. Hes been
here a long time. Hes helped us have a lot
of success over the years, Spurs coach
Gregg Popovich said.
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade each
scored 25 points for the Heat, who host
Game 6 on Tuesday. They need a victory to
force the rst Game 7 in the nals since the
Lakers beat the Celtics in 2010.
Miamis Big Three formed a few weeks
after that game, with predictions of multi-
ple titles to follow. Now theyre a loss away
from going just 1 for 3 in nals to start their
partnership, while the Spurs could run their
perfect record to 5 for 5.
Duncan won his rst title in 1999, and
Parker and Ginobili were with him for three
championships since. They have been the
perfect partnership, keeping the Spurs in
the hunt virtually every year while teams
like the Lakers, Mavericks and Suns have
all risen and fallen in the Western
Conference during that time.
They remained unbeaten in Game 5s,
including two previous victories when the
series was tied at 2-2. Of the 27 times the
nals have been tied at 2-2, the Game 5 win-
ner has won 20 of them.
Miami was the most recent loser, falling
to Dallas in Game 5 in 2011 before being
eliminated at home the next game.
San Antonio shot 42 of 70, right at 60
percent. The last team to make 60 percent of
its shots in the nals was Orlando, which
hit 62.5 in Game 3 against the Lakers in
2009, according to STATS.
They just absolutely outplayed us, Heat
coach Erik Spoelstra said. At times they
were just picking one guy out at a time and
going at us mano-a-mano. Thats got to
change.
Ray Allen scored 21 points on the night
for the Heat as Green shattered his nals 3-
point record.
The Heat were within one with 3:05 left in
the third before Green hit yet another 3-
pointer and Ginobili followed with the
stretch that turned the game into the fourth
straight blowout of the nals.
The crafty lefty plays with a air devel-
oped on the courts of Argentina and perfect-
ed in Europe before coming to the NBA. He
sees angles other players cant and takes
risks few others would, but his style has
been the perfect t alongside Duncan and
Parker.

BOSTON Tyler Seguin knew something
had to be said.
And he was pretty sure it wouldnt be t for
public consumption.
After the Chicago Blackhawks badly out-
played the Boston Bruins in the rst period
of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup nals Saturday
night, Seguin ditched the microphone he
had been wearing as part of the TV broad-
cast. Then he headed back into the dressing
room so the team could hash out its prob-
lems in peace.
It was really a mix of everybody saying
something, Seguin said. I denitely knew
it was coming, so I threw my shoulder pads
in the training room and put a towel over it
so no one could hear what we were saying. I
think we needed that team wake-up call.
The 2010 and 11 Stanley Cup champions
were in Boston on Sunday for the third game
of the best-of-seven finals on Monday
night. Neither team skated on the off-day,
instead choosing to conserve their energy
after playing 10 periods while trading over-
time victories that left the series tied at one
game apiece.
Its a lot about getting your rest,
Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith said
after arriving in Boston about an hour late
because of air trafc. Its not rocket sci-
ence, you just get sleep and do as best you
can and do all those little things to get ready
to go.
Chicago took the rst one, winning a
triple-OT thriller after 52 extra minutes.
Then the Blackhawks started Game 2 by
sending 19 shots to Bostons four at
Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask in the rst period
to take a 1-0 lead.
Not much needed to be said after that rst
period, said Chris Kelly, who was one of
the more vocal players in the dressing
room. I think Tuukka pointed out that was
a pretty terrible period by our team. If it
wasnt for Tuukka, it would have been a lot
worse.
Neither Kelly nor coach Claude Julien nor
any of the other Bruins would divulge what
was said in the room.
But something snapped them out of their
funk.

My favorite part about high school is play-
ing CCS. I dont really like playing the reg-
ular season, Banquiles said. Im just there
for hanging out with friends.
Banquiles had another reason for playing
during the high school season: to raise the
prole of the sport at the high school level.
Badminton isnt a popular sport in the
U.S. All my friends said badminton was a
sport to play in the backyard. So many of
them in high school only join badminton
because (they think) its an easy sport, an
easy sport to get their letter (for a letter-
mans jacket), Banquiles said. That was
one of my goals (to turn more people onto
the sport). In my school, Im not the only
one recognized, the sport is recognized as
well.
ZHANG IS TOPS AGAIN
On the girls side, there was one name on
everyones radar to start the PAL season.
And at the end of that and the CCS champi-
onships, Aragons Candy Zhang proved her
freshman season was no uke and that shes
on pace to become one of the best the coun-
ty has ever seen.
Its for her efforts in her sophomore cam-
paign that for the second year in a row, the
Dons young superstar is the easy choice for
the Daily Journals Girls Badminton Player
of the Year.
The question heading into her sophomore
campaign was what could she possibly do
for an encore? As a freshman, Zhang went
undefeated in PAL play she didnt even
drop a set. And come CCS time, she made it
look way too easy en route to her rst indi-
vidual title.
So the expectations heading into her
sophomore year were astronomically high.
But just like her freshman year, Zhang did
not inch and kept a consistent and domi-
nant pace throughout. She was easily named
to the PALs First Team in the girls individ-
ual group.
Then, at the CCS championships with the
entire section gunning for her as the reign-
ing champion, Zhang shined. After it was
all said and done at the three-day CCS bad-
minton championships, Zhang won her
second-straight CCS title, beating Gunns
Angela Lin 17-16, 9-15, 15-13 in the cham-
pionship match. It was the only time Zhang
needed three sets in her run to the title.

BADMINTON
GIANTS
By Doug Ferguson
ARDMORE, Pa. A steady hand gave
Justin Rose the shiny U.S. Open Trophy. A
wild ride gave Phil Mickelson yet another
silver medal.
Rose captured his first major champi-
onship on Sunday with remarkable calm and
three pure shots on the punishing closing
holes at Merion. Apar on the 18th hole gave
him an even-par 70, and that was good
enough to become the rst Englishman in 43
years to win Americas national champi-
onship.
Rose hit 5-iron to the rst cut of rough,
pin-high on the 17th for an easy par. He
smashed the most important tee shot of his
career down the middle on the nal hole,
about 15 feet short of the famous Ben Hogan
plaque. And his 4-iron rolled near the pin and
settled against the collar of the green.
When I came over the hill and saw my ball
laying in the fairway, I thought, This is my
moment. It was me hitting from the middle
of the fairway, Rose said.
As usual, someones big moment in the
U.S. Open came at Mickelsons expense.
Rose was in the scoring area a half-mile
from the grandstands behind the 18th green
where the fans began to chant, Lets go
Phil! as Mickelson paced off a last-ditch
effort to force a playoff. It was a long shot
the 18th hole didnt yield a single birdie all
weekend. From about 40 yards away,
Mickelsons chip for birdie raced by the cup,
securing Roses victory.
Mickelson, already in the U.S. Open record
book with ve second-place nishes, added
another that will hurt as much any of them.
Sunday was his 43rd birthday. It was the
rst time he was equipped with the outright
lead going into the last day. His week began
with a cross-country trip home to San Diego
to watch his oldest daughter graduate from the
eighth grade, returning just three hours
before his tee time on Thursday. This was the
same daughter born the day after his rst run-
ner-up nish in 1999.
All the stars were aligned. None of the
putts fell in.
Mickelson surged back into the lead by
holing out from 75 yards in thick rough on
the 10th hole for eagle, another moment that
made it seem like surely was his time. The
cheer could be heard across the road, through
the trees, loud enough that Rose knew exact-
ly what had happened.
But on the easiest hole at Merion,
Mickelson drilled a wedge over the green on
the par-3 13th and made bogey.
What hurt Mickelson even more was a
wedge from about 121 yards on the 15th
hole. It should have given him a good look at
birdie, but it came up so short that
Mickelsons best chance was to use one of
his ve wedges to chip from the front of the
green. He hit that one too far, 25 feet by the
hole, and the bogey wound up costing him a
chance at the major he covets.
Mickelson wound up with a bogey on the
18th for a 74 and tied for second with Jason
Day, who closed with a 71.
Heartbreak, Mickelson said. This is
tough to swallow after coming so close. This
was my best chance of all of them. I had a
golf course I really liked. I felt this was as
good an opportunity as you could ask for. It
really hurts.
Day appeared to salvage his round by chip-
ping in for bogey on the 11th hole, and he
was still in the picture when he made a 12-
foot par putt on the 17th to stay one shot
behind. But he put his approach into the
bunker left of the 18th green, blasted out t o
about 7 feet and missed the putt.
Rose wins U.S. Open, more
heartache for Phil Mickelson

HAIRCUT (reg.$14)
OAKLAND Bartolo Colon was
feeling a little run down during the
second inning. He felt a lot better
after Josh Reddick made a shoe-
string catch that saved a couple
more runs.
Colon worked seven strong
innings to win his sixth straight
decision, Reddick homered and
matched a career high with four hits,
and the Oakland Athletics avoided a
sweep with a 10-2 victory over the
Seattle Mariners on Sunday.
I did feel tired during the second
inning and was just trying to nd a
way to get through it, Colon said.
All I can say is that was the best
play. I felt, Wow and was ready to
get the next guys out.
That catch, with the bases loaded
and two runs already in, helped
Oaklands pitchers face the mini-
mum 23 batters the rest of the way,
with a pair of double plays erasing
the lone baserunners.
He made several good plays, As
manager Bob Melvin said. That
play probably had a lot to do with
getting the momentum back and
allowing Bartolo to get his second
wind.
Sean Smith and Brandon Moss
each homered and drove in two runs
for the Athletics, who moved three
games ahead of Texas in the ALWest
their largest lead since ending
the 2006 season four games up.
Josh Donaldson also went deep, and
Yoenis Cespedes, Coco Crisp and
John Jaso each drove in runs for
Oakland.
I had a feeling about it as I was
running in and watching it sink,
Reddick said. I shoestringed it and
was kind of lucky because the ball
was moving.
Colon (9-2) allowed two runs on
eight hits, did not walk a batter and
struck out three to extend his home
win streak to seven.
Today could have gotten away
from him early, Donaldson said.
Reddick made that nice catch and it
kind of picked him up. Bartolo is a
never-say-die guy anyway. You
know hes going to come back and
throw strikes.
Hisashi Iwakuma (7-2) lost for
the rst time since April 23, giving
up four runs on a season high-tying
eight hits. He also walked Jaso
three times and struck out three.
Iwakumas streak of not allowing an
earned run was stopped at 31 2-3
innings, second longest in
Mariners history to Mark
Langstons 34-inning streak in
1988.
Endy Chavez had two hits and
drove in two runs for the Mariners,
who were looking for their rst
sweep of the season.
Colon wins 6th straight
as As rout Mariners 10-2

World champion Spain starts with win in Confed Cup
Balotellis late goal lifts Italy over Mexico
REUTERS
Spains Iker Casillas attempts a save in his teams 2-1 win over Uruguay.
RECIFE, Brazil Andres
Iniesta repeated several times that
Spain deserved the 2-1 victory
over Uruguay in their
Confederations Cup opener.
The midfielder had only one
quibble with the result Sunday.
The game wasnt as close as the
score made it look, and he said
Spain should have had at least one
more goal.
I think it was clear Spain was
the undeniable winner, a deserved
victory, Iniesta said. It left a
very good taste in our mouth. But
we probably deserved another
goal.
Spain had 77 percent of the pos-
session in the rst half, and 71 in
the match and that tells plenty.
Cesc Fabregas hit the post in
the 10th minute, which is the
near-goal Iniesta was probably
talking about.
The World Cup champions did
get two rst-half goals just after
Fabregas miss one in the 20th
from Pedro and another 12 min-
utes later by striker Roberto
Soldado.
Spain had a little luck with the
rst goal, which may have been
heading wide when it took a huge
deflection off Uruguay defender
Diego Lugano to beat goalkeeper
Fernando Muslera.
The second was perfect nish-
ing by Soldado after a cute reverse
pass from Cesc Fabregas.
Luis Suarez scored a consola-
tion goal with a delicately curling
free kick for Uruguay in the 88th.
Spain is trying to win the only
major trophy it lacks to go with a
2010 World Cup and two consecu-
tive European championships.
Coach Vicente del Bosque talked
about the importance of a damp,
quick pitch so that Spain could put
on a show. It rained just before the
match, and Spain did just that.
I think we took advantage in
the rst half, but dropped off a bit
in the second, Del Bosque said.
Uruguay barely touched the ball
in the rst 15 minutes as Spain
linked dozens of touches togeth-
er, eventually setting up Pedros
goal. He scored from just outside
the area as Lugano lunged trying
to stop the shot and pushed it
into the goal, instead.
Soldados goal could have a
lasting impact a clean nish
when he was left alone in front of
Muslera.
The Valencia striker is Spains
latest No. 9, the true striker that
Del Bosque has often shunned,
playing an attacking midfield
player instead. Soldado scored 24
goals in La Liga this season, sur-
passed only by the likes of Lionel
Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo,
Radamel Falcao and Alvaro
Negredo.
RIO DE JANEIRO Mario
Balotelli showed off his strength
and muscular physique by
scoring in the 78th minute Sunday
to lead Italy past Mexico 2-1 in
the Confederations Cup.
Balotelli took a perfectly placed
acrobatic pass from Emanuele
Giaccherini and muscled between
two defenders. His goal broke a 1-
1 tie in the Group Agame, the rst
official match at renovated
Maracana Stadium.
Celebrating his 100th appear-
ance with the national team,
Andrea Pirlo gave Italy the lead
with one of his trademark free
kicks in the 27th minute.
I was dreaming of a free-kick
goal, Pirlo said. It was impor-
tant to win the rst match and now
we have three days to recuperate.
Its nice to be applauded in a leg-
endary stadium like this.
Mexico replied in the 34th when
Javier Chicharito Hernandez
converted a penalty kick after
Andrea Barzagli tripped Giovani
Dos Santos. Mexicos Andres
Guardado hit the crossbar in the
11th minute.
Italy moved even with Brazil
with three points in the group
after the hosts beat Japan 3-0 in
the tournament opener Saturday.
The Azzurri had not impressed in
their last two matches, drawing
with both the Czech Republic in a
World Cup qualier and with Haiti
upon arriving in Brazil earlier this
week, but Pirlo and Balotelli made
the difference this time.
For his 13th goal with Italy,
Pirlo curled a spinning shot over
Mexicos wall into the top left
corner after Balotelli earned the
foul that set up the dead-ball shot
from 30 yards.

U
nless youve been living in a
bubble or you just moved here
from another planet, you proba-
bly know Chihuahuas are popular. So pop-
ular, in fact, that they are the most com-
mon breed coming into to all Bay Area
shelters. And, not by a whisker. Some
shelters now report that half of their
incoming dogs are Chihuahuas or
Chihuahua mixes. You probably also
know many of the commonly held theo-
ries. Hollywoods glamorization of the
tiny breed, for one. Theres the Taco Bell
commercials (Yo quiero Taco Bell), the
Beverly Hills Chihuahua movies, and, of
course, starlets like Paris Hilton who
parade the dogs in purses that cost more
than a life-time supply of kibble.
Popularity breeds popularity, guratively
and literally. Backyard breeders and others
who give the appearance of being more
professional are breeding at a rate well
beyond the markets demand. As a result of
this, coupled with some owners who dont
quite know what they are getting into
when they buy a dog, the tiny dogs are
ooding animal shelters. What can we do?
First and foremost, get your Chihuahua
xed and encourage anyone you know who
has one to do the same; Peninsula Humane
Society brings a mobile spay/neuter clinic
into targeted areas, offering free xes. No
appointments needed, no questions asked.
Next, wish that Paris Hilton would slink
off her mantle as most famous person
with no talent and never again appear on
TMZ. And, if you are in the market for a
Chihuahua, considering adopting one. We
currently have 23 available for adoption.
Weve waiving the fee and are giving all
Chihuahua adopters $10 fun bucks to
spend in our store at the time they adopt.
My family has done their share. My in-
laws, sister-in-law and brother-in-law all
have Chihuahuas. Shakes, Bella and Riley
dont t the stereotype as ankle biters or
yappers, and all three tolerate young chil-
dren.

LOS ANGELES Man of
Steel leaped over box office
expectations in a single weekend.
The Warner Bros. superhero lm
earned $113 million in its open-
ing weekend at the box office,
according to studio estimates
Sunday. The retelling of
Supermans backstory earned an
additional $12 million from
Thursday screenings, bringing its
domestic total to $125 million.
Original box-ofce expectations
for Man of Steel ranged from
$75 million to $130 million.
They nally got the Superman
formula right, said Paul
Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-
office tracker Hollywood.com.
Superhero movies really are the
bread and butter of the summer box
ofce. The fact that Iron Man 3
has the biggest opening of the
year so far and Man of Steel has
the second biggest opening of the
year just proves that.
Man of Steel, which stars
Henry Cavill as Superman and Amy
Adams as Lois Lane, also nabbed
the record for Junes biggest open-
ing away from Toy Story 3, the
Disney-Pixar lm which banked
$110.3 million when it opened in
2010. Superman Returns, the
previous Superman lm starring
Brandon Routh in the titular role,
launched with $52.5 million in
2006.
The new take on Supermans ori-
gin also performed solidly over-
seas, earning $71.6 million from
24 territories, including the
Philippines, India, Malaysia and
the United Kingdom, where Man
of Steel earned $17.1 million.
The lm, which also stars Russell
Crowe and Michael Shannon, is
set to open next weekend in 27
more territories, such as Russia
and China.
Sonys This Is the End debuted
in second place in North America
behind Man of Steel with $20.5
million in its opening weekend.
The comedy starring Seth Rogen,
James Franco and Jonah Hill as
versions of themselves trapped in
a mansion during the apocalypse
opened Wednesday, earning a
domestic total of $32.8 million.
The lm cost just $32 million to
produce.
We knew we were going to have
competition, but we felt our movie
stood on its own and had its own
voice, said Rory Bruer, Sonys
president of worldwide distribu-
tion. I believe weve absolutely
proven that. To have this amount
of money in the bank with its cost
of production, good reviews and
word of mouth really puts our feet
on solid ground.
In its third weekend at the box
ofce, the Lionsgate illusionist
heist film Now You See Me
fleeced $10.3 million in third
place, bringing its total domestic
haul to $80 million. Universals
Fast & Furious 6 arrived in
fourth place with $9.4 million.

If President Dwight Eisenhower were
around today, he says, he would have no
trouble understanding how the classica-
tion system works. He would feel quite at
home. The rest of us feel like were living in
a Flintstones episode.
The secret side of government has many
pillars, some fashioned with a compliant
Congress, others raised from within.
A look at some, and the weird politics
swirling around them:
WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON AGAIN?
In the suddenly unfolding debate over
secrecy in government, it takes a spread-
sheet to know who stands where. The nor-
mal partisan divide that cleaves almost
everything else in Washington is no guide.
Obama at times seems to be on both sides at
once.
In one corner, theres Democrat Dianne
Feinstein of California, who leads the
Senate Intelligence Committee, tag-team-
ing with Republican John Boehner of Ohio,
the House speaker. Both are steaming over
the actions of Edward Snowden, the NSA
contractor who leaked the surveillance pro-
grams. Treason, said Feinstein. Traitor,
said Boehner. National security hawks in
both parties agree.
In the other corner, an unusual collection
of liberals, civil libertarians and conserva-
tives suspicious of governments reach is
aligned against Big Brother. The American
Civil Liberties Union, tea party favorites
and dyed-in-the-wool progressives are these
odd bedfellows.
Its my fear that we are on the verge of
becoming a surveillance state, said Rep.
John Conyers of Michigan, the top
Democrat on the House Judiciary
Committee.
Some other Democrats, too, are proving
hostile to the administration on this. Sens.
Ron Wyden of Oregon and Mark Udall of
Colorado have dogged the administration to
back off what they see as an assault on civil
liberties and challenged its claims that the
telephone and email monitoring programs
helped stop specic acts of terrorism.
The debate places them and some other
congressional critics in an awkward spot.
Intelligence committee members are
briefed on certain national security secrets
but not allowed to talk about them. That has
left Udall, for one, champing at the bit. He
told The Denver Post he was well aware of
the monitoring programs that shocked law-
makers who hadnt been clued in and did
everything short of leaking classified
information to bring it to light.
As a candidate, Obama criticized Bush for
putting forward a false choice between the
liberties we cherish and the security we pro-
vide. Now he says, You cant have 100
percent security and also then have 100 per-
cent privacy and zero inconvenience, and,
Were going to have to make some choices
as a society.
SECRET DIRECTIVES
AND PRIVILEGES
These tools have been used just as vigor-
ously as in the Bush years, watchdogs say,
despite modest steps toward accountability.
The state-secrets privilege helps the gov-
ernment withhold sensitive national securi-
ty records in court proceedings. But in its
2013 review of Obamas first term, the
Center for Effective Government says both
the Bush and Obama administrations used
the privilege to dismiss entire cases against
the government, not just protect specic
records.
The government also operates with a
range of regulations, legal opinions and
policy directives that never see the light of
day.
Targeted drone killings, the recently
leaked phone and email surveillance pro-
grams, and a former Bush program of war-
rantless wiretapping came from these shad-
ows.
The administration has continued to
use secret laws to make controversial
decisions without oversight, to disallow
legal challenge, and to withhold key deci-
sions and memoranda that have the force
of law from public scrutiny, the center
says.
Certain actions are subject to court scruti-
ny but its a court like none other. The
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court
hears cases inside vaults in a federal court-
house. Legal justications are classied,
theres no lawyer countering the govern-
ments case for authority and the decisions
are rarely made public.
In one step toward openness, the Obama
administration has disclosed some secret
legal opinions, but only those from the pre-
vious administration, regarding the treat-
ment of terrorist detainees and some other
matters specic to the Bush years.
LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS
The Obama administration has pursued an
unprecedented number of investigations of
those who leak government secrets and
taken extraordinary steps in doing so.
Among them are the secret seizure by the
Justice Department of two months of phone
records for more than 20 Associated Press
telephone lines and the gathering of emails
of Fox News journalist James Rosen, in
both cases to try to identify sources of sto-
ries.
At the same time, a 2012 law signed by
Obama improved protections for whistle-
blowers, generally understood to be those
in government who expose waste, fraud or
abuse. Spillers of national security secrets
neednt apply.

Hernandez, said, when completed, the
market will be one of the most beauti-
ful ethnic markets in the state.
The former dry cleaner site has been
vacant more than 15 years and needed
the state to approve the demolition
since it had some environmental
issues such as chemicals in the soil.
The property has been completely
remediated now, Hernandez said.
If the City Council approves the
project July 15, the laundry will be
demolished and construction will start
in early 2014.
I hope to have the market open to
the public by Thanksgiving, Pulido
told the Daily Journal.
She is excited to add extra inventory
to her shelves when the new store
opens to accommodate the demands of
the markets customers.
More and more customers to the
market are from Guatemala and they
like to buy products from home,
Pulido told the Daily Journal.
Many customers come originally
from El Salvador or Peru and stocking
the shelves to satisfy their needs is
also a priority.
The neighborhood has become
increasingly Hispanic since she rst
opened the market, she said.
She grew up in the citys North
Central neighborhood when there was
only a very small market on B Street
near the old City Hall that sold items
from Mexico and tortillas.
Our family had to travel to Redwood
City to shop, she said.
The north end of B Street is home
now to several taquerias, a Peruvian
restaurant and smaller Mexican mar-
kets.
Pulidos market is too small now to
add another register and customer lines
get long. It has a full butcher shop now
but not a kitchen like some of the
smaller markets in the area that serve a
brisk lunch crowd.
Pulido had to clear a lot of hurdles
with several government agencies
considering the state of the soil from
the former laundry, the fact it sits atop
the San Mateo Creek and is adjacent to
the Caltrain tracks.
When she rst opened the store, it
had four employees. That number is
now 25. She plans to add an additional
10 employees when the larger market
opens.
This is a second career for Pulido,
who retired from the San Mateo Health
Services Agency after 18 years of serv-
ice. She was only 18 when the county
hired her and she ultimately went on to
help establish the WELL Program, the
countys reduced fee program for med-
ically indigent adults.
Her life is all about North B Street
now, however.
The current Mi Rancho is a neigh-
borhood-serving store that attracts
residents from the North Central
neighborhood. With added parking,
she expects to attract customers who
do not live nearby with a wide variety
of products that cannot be found any-
where else.
Anew sidewalk will be built between
the new market and the pedestrian
bridge near the Caltrain station.
The current market was once three
different retail stores and Pulido will
lease out the space when Mi Rancho
moves across the street.
MARKET
Nafziger took out a bottle of wine to
share. It became a tradition with the
trio, which now takes wine with them
any time they embark on a Tuesday
hike. Once, when the wives were
brought along for the weekly outing,
Nafziger carried a bigger bag with
white wine and ice for the ladies.
Their love of wine has become an
award-winning effort. In 2011, the
wine-making hobbyists entered their
2008 merlot into the San Mateo
County Fair wine competition and
earned a blue ribbon. This year, it was
their 2011 Primitivo and the Trio
Hikers label that both won rst place
in the fair. They dont sell the wine.
But, they happily share it with friends
and a certain reporter who recently
visited to learn more about the
Peninsula friends for this feature.
Making wine wasnt completely new
to the guys. Ruggieros family has a
history of making wine in Italy and,
later, in America.
Its not all the truth, he said,
recounting the history. Ninety per-
cent. My memory isnt what it used to
be.
Someone suggested that an older
batch of wine Ruggiero had held on to
for years be turned into grappa. His
rst attempt resulted in a grappa that
was 125 proof.
It didnt taste good, Nafziger said,
adding that the avor improved and
smoothed out after using a charcoal l-
ter.
Ruggiero learned through an article
about local opportunities to buy and
make wine. He started doing it before
the three hikers set off to make their
own concoctions through the Bacchus
Winemaking Club in San Carlos.
Each July, the guys get together with
others in the club to taste and learn
about the grapes available, the season,
how weather has impacted the crop
basically, they are constantly learn-
ing.
Sitting down to talk wine and hiking
with the guys on a recent afternoon
was much like taking a mid-day break
with old friends. There were quips, a
healthy amount of teasing remarks, a
variety of food and award-winning
wine.
Laughter erupted often as stories
were recalled. Nafziger, for example,
told of being passed by ladies easily
jogging up the tough trails in Marin
County. Each of the guys advocated for
people hiking more in the Bay Area,
which has many beautiful areas that
could be explored. Mount Whitney is
one of the few left on the to-do list.
The guys just cant seem to get lucky
in the lottery to get access to the
climb. Otherwise, the group is starting
to hike trails theyve already tackled
but they say it never gets boring.
We always have fun, said
Ruggiero.
WINE
To get the item on the ballot, however, four of the ve on
the council must approve the action Monday night.
The Chamber of Commerce worked alongside ofcials in
the nance department to reach out to the citys largest
businesses Visa, Pacic Gas and Electric and the Crowne
Plaza Hotel before bringing the item to the council. None
told the city they would support an increase to the tax but
none said they would oppose it either, according to a staff
report.
The business license tax has not be changed for 40
years. I believe we may have come to a solution whereby we
would gradually increase the tax over a period of time so
that businesses will not be hit with a large tax bill,
Councilman Steve Okamoto wrote the Daily Journal in an
email.
The city implemented its current business license ordi-
nance with a gross receipts based tax structure.
Businesses are required to pay 75 cents per $1,000 (0.075
percent) of gross receipts collected as a result of conducting
business in Foster City. A minimum oor tax rate of $25
was imposed with it being $50 for general contractors) and
a maximum ceiling tax amount of $3,750 was established
by limiting the amount of gross receipts, $5 million, used
in the calculation of the tax. Floor and ceiling amounts
were established based on 1972 commerce trends.
The update would cap gross receipts from the current $5
million to $30 million by 2016 and the maximum ceiling
tax from the current $3,750 to $22,500 by 2016.

As a result, less than 60 percent of
third graders are procient readers and
some minority groups demonstrate
even less ability. The eventual goal is
universal quality preschool for all San
Mateo County 3- and 4-year-olds but
the Peninsula Partnership Leadership
Council a group of more than 50
leaders from government, education,
philanthropy and business is start-
ing its focus on school districts where
prociency is at or below the county
average. These include Bayshore,
Brisbane, Cabrillo, Jefferson
Elementary, La Honda-Pescadero,
Pacica, Ravenswood, Redwood City,
San Bruno Park, San Mateo-Foster
City and South San Francisco. Funding
these districts alone are estimated at
$40 million annually.
If approved, the recommendations
will join $8.77 million already tenta-
tively allocated in scal year 2013-
2014 and $3.4 million allocated in s-
cal year 2014-2015. Those programs
include library capital needs, a coast-
side mobile health van, homeless pro-
grams and reestablishing a stand-alone
parks department.

GeMini (May 21-June 20) -- Be prepared to take
on a leadership role in a group endeavor. Once you
provide the necessary wherewithal to accomplish a
goal, everyone will follow.
CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- Dont be too quick to
jump to conclusions, because quick assessments
are apt to be faulty. If you take time to check out the
facts, youll be on much frmer ground.
LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Do not expect more from
friends and family than they have the right to expect
from you. And if you think youll soon be in need
of some help, maybe you should offer some yourself.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Intangibles are likely to
confuse you, because you might not be able to grasp
what theyre all about. Stick to what you can feel
and touch, and youll fare much better.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Although youre usually
a pragmatic person, today you could be more of a
daydreamer. To be on the safe side, rely more on
logic than on imagination.
sCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Business conditions
can be a bit tricky, but as long as you conduct your
affairs in a methodical manner, you should still come
out on the proft side of the ledger.
saGiTTariUs (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Someone
youre not especially fond of might lead you toward
something quite benefcial. Dont allow emotion or
prejudice to interfere with opportunity.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your future
success could be predicated upon how much you
ante up. When the stakes are high enough, your
drive and motivation will give you the confdence
you need to succeed.
aQUariUs (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Try not to unfairly
judge someone you meet for the frst time. If given
half a chance, this person could be an asset as a
friend and as a valuable contact.
PisCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be careful, because
ego could exert a strong infuence on your decision-
making processes, which could lead to poor
judgment on your part. Take me out of the picture.
aries (March 21-April 19) -- Your concerns
regarding a person vital to your current plans will
be put to rest. This persons behavior will clearly
demonstrate his or her steadfast support.
TaUrUs (April 20-May 20) -- To achieve something
important, you need to rely only on yourself and
nobody else. Youll have greater success without
helpers who dont fully understand what youre

STATE 28
By John Rogers
SANTA MONICA For decades
there have been two Santa
Monicas.
Theres the hip beachfront town
thats packed year-round with
tourists who cram its trendy bars
and restaurants, stay at its pricey
beachfront hotels and frequent the
T-shirt shops and carnival rides
along its funky, old wooden pier.
And then theres the Santa
Monica the tourists never see,
although its just as real to those
who live along its hard-scrabble
streets, in a neighborhood hemmed
in by a freeway and sometimes rid-
dled with gang violence.
In the past week those two cities
collided, first when a troubled
young man armed himself with a
semi-automatic rie and stormed
through the neighborhood, killing
ve people. Four days later, some-
one fatally shot another person in
the same dicey area where John
Zawahri had launched his deadly
rampage on June 7.
When you think of Santa
Monica, you think of the Santa
Monica Pier, the fancy homes. But
thats not all of Santa Monica,
sociologist Alex Aldana said with a
rueful smile as he sat near a pool
table in the Pico Youth & Family
Center, where he is the outreach
director.
The Pico Neighborhood, where
Aldana grew up and still lives, may
begin just a couple blocks down
the street from Santa Monica High
School, where actor Charlie Sheen
was once a student, but as it
extends eastward nearly three miles
it makes up another world entirely.
Named for the main street that
cuts through it, Pico is so isolated
from the citys tourist area that
some visitors who packed the place
on a recent day said they hadnt
even connected the killings to the
city.
No, I didnt know. Thats terri-
ble, said George Contreras of
Phoenix, who was visiting Santa
Monica Pier with its old-fashioned
merry-go-round and its shiny,
solar-powered Ferris Wheel that
offers some of the best views of the
Pacic Ocean to be found.
It had been 15 years since his last
visit, Contreras said, and he had
found the place to be much more
appealing than before.
Theres a lot more development,
of course, and it seems a lot clean-
er, too, he said. It feels safe here.
It seems like a very safe place.
Of course he was speaking of the
pier, the adjacent wide, sandy
beach and the nearby Third Street
Promenade with its upscale shops
and exotic eateries. Although those
attractions are less than a mile
from Aldanas ofce, theres no
direct way to get from one to the
other.
When the Santa Monica Freeway
was built in the 1960s, Aldana said,
it divided the city into a place of
haves and have-nots. The haves
side is lled with multimillion-dol-
lar homes and counts as residents
such people as musician Ry Cooder
and the political activist and for-
mer state senator Tom Hayden.
The have-not side contains an
assortment of often shabby single-
family homes, aging, two-story
stucco apartments, run-down ware-
houses and such non-tourist attrac-
tions as pay-day loan outlets and
discount furniture stores.
The neighborhood is beginning
to show signs of gentrication,
however, as people priced out of
the more expensive side of town
arrive. At least one real estate web-
site lists Pico as the most afford-
able section of Santa Monica, with
homes to be found for $1 million
or less and condos for half that.
When I came here eight years
ago everybody was saying, Are
you crazy? Why are you opening
here? This whole area isnt good,
said Reena Gauchan, who runs
Kathmandu Boutique, which car-
ries an extensive collection of col-
orful clothing and other items.
These days, she said, she feels
safe, business is picking up and
she hopes the violence, as tragic
as it was, was the result of a couple
of isolated incidents.
There was, after all, only one
murder in Santa Monica last year,
two the year before and one the
year before that. Overall, police
say, crime is down 10 percent.
To those who have been in Pico
a long time, however, the sudden
rash of violence reminds them of
1998, when Santa Monica wit-
nessed nearly a dozen killings, an
outbreak that rattled the entire
city.
Most of those were in Pico and
involved turf battles between rival
gangs. Two did spill over into the
fashionable part of town, howev-
er, one involving a homeless man
beaten to death on the beach. The
other was the slaying of a German
tourist, killed in front of a hotel
for refusing to hand over his valu-
ables.
Although the murder of Horst
Fietze of Germany made interna-
tional news at the time, it is usual-
ly the more offbeat stories that
keep Santa Monica in the spot-
light.
A battle last year uniting dog
walkers and runners against per-
sonal tness trainers who the for-
mer group complained were block-
ing all the pathways in picturesque
Palisades Park helped the city
maintain its quirkiness quotient.
The year before that Santa
Monica made news when it was dis-
covered that notorious Boston
crime boss Whitey Bulger, like so
many other retirees, had settled
into a small apartment near the
beach in the 1980s. When authori-
ties nally found him there, they
shipped Bulger, now 83, back to
Boston, where hes on trial for
allegedly participating in 19 mur-
ders.

LOCATION: Immediately west
of Los Angeles, situated along

CLAIM TO FAME: A tourist

tractions as the Santa Monica
Pier; wide, sandy beaches pop-
ular with surfers and swimmers;
Palisades Park, popular with
strollers, runners, dog walkers,
exercise enthusiasts and others;
and the Third Street Promenade

restaurants and bars.
TRIVIA: Frank Gehry estab-
lished his reputation for artistic,
sometimes quirky looking ar-
chitecture by remodeling a
modest Santa Monica home
into a colorful work of art that
he lived in for many years.

Santa Monica at a glance
By John Rogers
LOS ANGELES It looks to be a baby
girl for Kim Kardashian and her rapper
boyfriend Kanye West. Or does it?
The couple was keeping silent Sunday in
the wake of multiple reports that Kardashian
has given birth over the weekend, about a
month premature.
But Kardashians sister Khloe appears to
have let a rather cryptic cat out of the bag on
Twitter.
I can not even begin 2describe the mira-
cle that is now apart of our family.
Mommy/baby are healthy &resting. We
appreciate all of the love, she tweeted
Sunday.
She quickly followed with a second tweet:
More info will come when the time is
right! Thank you all for understanding! We
love you all dearly! Overwhelmed with love
right now.
Kardashian mom Kris Jenner linked to
both tweets on her Twitter account. She was
scheduled to be a presenter at Sunday
nights Daytime Emmy Awards.
The reality TV stars pregnancy was
almost as anticipated as the royal pregnan-
cy of Kate Middleton, who is due in mid-
July. Thats about the time the Kardashian
baby had been due.
The 32-year-old has often been pho-
tographed since announcing she was preg-
nant, opting to continue to wear designer
clothing. She told The Associated Press in
April that she eventually embraced being an
expecting mom after getting past the awk-
ward phases and stages.
The couple had initially kept the babys
gender a secret, but the sex was revealed ear-
lier this month during one of Kardashians
doctor appointments on Keeping up with
the Kardashians.
News of the birth has been swaddled in
secrecy. Representatives for West and Kim
Kardashian did not respond to emails and
calls from The Associated Press, nor did any
representatives for family members, friends
and professional associates. And all of the
weekend media reports on the birth were
attributed to anonymous sources.
In a recent interview with The New York
Times, West said he didnt like talking
about his family or the arrival of his child.
Like, this is my baby. This isnt
Americas baby, he said.
Kim Kardashian gives
birth to girl, family says
Kim Kardashians family said she had a baby
over the weekend.
