Testing a four-city merger of fire

night.
Burlingame was the last of four
cities to OK creating an implemen-

test combining services between
Millbrae, San Bruno and Central

$1.5 million combined. Much of the
savings comes from closing two fire

San Carlos hears fire proposals

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Carlos could save more
money by contracting its fire serv-
ice to either a neighboring city or
private company but the best inter-
ests lie with rebuilding the joint
department it shares with the city of
Belmont, City Councilman Bob
Grassilli said last night.
“We would be literally swimming
up stream, in my opinion if we give
this up,” Grassilli said, referencing
other cities moving to consolidate
services while San Carlos and
Belmont consider going it alone.
Grassilli offered his plan for
extending the joint powers authority
by 18 to 24 months last night during
a special council meeting to hear
presentations on the options: stay
with the Belmont-San Carlos Fire
Department, hand the contract to
Wackenhut Services, Inc. or work
with Redwood City on either a
hybrid model in which the two
share management or a complete
takeover.
In March, the City Council adopt-
ed targeted savings of $1 million
annually from the current $7.1 mil-
lion it spends for shared fire service.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Hair

A judge has asked lawyers to shed
their wigs next time they appear before
her at the International Criminal Court.
A handful of attorneys appeared
Monday in traditional black gowns and
white horsehair wigs for a preliminary
hearing in a case dealing with violence
after Kenya’s disputed 2007 presidential
election.
Justice Ekaterina Trendafilova paused
briefly at the end of the hearing to pass a
hair-raising judgment.
“This is not the dress code of this insti-
tution,” she said.
“In this quite warm weather maybe it
will be more convenient to be without
wigs,” she added with a smile.
It is unusual for lawyers to appear at
the International Criminal Court in wigs,
but not unheard of. At least three lawyers
wore wigs during the initial appearance
of three Kenyan suspects on April 8,
without Justice Trendafilova issuing any
dress code guidelines.

State debates place of
gay history in textbooks
By Lisa Leff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — California conser-
vatives were outraged in 1966 when the state
Board of Education adopted a new junior
high school history textbook. The book’s
inclusive treatment of the civil rights move-
ment and influential black Americans would
indoctrinate students, undermine religious
values and politicize the curriculum, they
said.
Forty-five years later, gay rights advocates
say similar arguments are being advanced to
defeat a bill that would make the state the
first to require the teaching of gay history in
public schools. The California Senate
approved the landmark measure last week,
but it needs to clear the Democrat-controlled
Assembly and Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk.
Yet the debate about what children should
learn about sexual orientation mirrors earlier
disputes over whether groups such as 20th
Century German immigrants, women,
Muslims and Jews would have a place for
their heroes and heartbreaks in the history
books.
Missing woman found dead
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
San Bruno police officers, searching
through the night, discovered the body of a
woman Sunday morning who went missing
the previous day.
The body of Leonie Scott, 20, was found by
police near Skyline Boulevard and College
Drive at about 8:30 a.m. after a nearly 20-hour
search, said San Bruno police Cmdr. Noreen
Hanlon.
The cause of death is unknown at this time
but police suspect she may have taken her own
life, Hanlon said.
The Coroner’s Office has yet to reveal
Scott’s cause of death pending an autopsy.
She was last seen Saturday morning when
she returned home after having a verbal argu-
ment with her boyfriend, according to police.
After telling her mother about the argument,

“It’s fine to imagine we would have these
expert educators deciding what history edu-
cation should look like, but that’s counter-
historical in and of itself,” said New York
University history and education professor
Jonathan Zimmerman, who teaches a course
in how culture wars play out in schools. “It’s
citizens groups who want to see themselves
in the curriculum and see the curriculum as a
rich, symbolic battlefield, which it is.”
The legislation now under consideration in
California would add lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender people to the lengthy list of
social and ethnic groups that schools must
include in social studies lessons.
It also would require as soon as the 2013-
2014 school year the California Board of
Education and local school districts to adopt
textbooks and other teaching materials that
cover the contributions and roles of sexual
minorities.
The measure further would prohibit the
adoption of any materials that “reflect
adversely” on gays or particular religions.
School districts would have flexibility in
deciding what to include in the lessons and at
what grades students would receive them.
Scott left the house with-
out her purse or car.
A missing “at risk” adult
alert was then announced.
Scott left her home
wearing just her pajamas
and a coat, according to
police.
She apparently called
Leonie Scott her mother after taking off
to say she was “upset,”
according to police.
Police started searching immediately for a
5-foot-3-inch-tall, 200-pound woman with
brown eyes, brown hair and a medium com-
plexion.
Nearly a day later, they found her dead body
in a heavily-wooded area near the intersection
of Skyline Boulevard and College Drive.
Police did not detail the nature of her injuries.
Second teen in weeks survives
Golden Gate Bridge jump
SAN FRANCISCO — A 16-year-old girl
became the second person in five weeks to
survive a plunge from San Francisco’s
Golden Gate Bridge — a 220-foot drop that
is almost always fatal.
The unidentified teen lived through the
drop Sunday and the 20 minutes she spent in
the 53-degree water of San Francisco Bay
before she was rescued, Fire Department
spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said.
The crew of a U.S. Coast Guard motor boat
that pulled the girl from the bay about 200
yards from the east side of the bridge said she
was conscious and responsive. One witness
reported seeing her swimming to stay afloat,
Talmadge said.
“To me, it’s just amazing she even survived
that drop, whether it was a jump or a fall,”
she said.
The girl was transported to Marin General
Hospital, but her condition wasn’t immedi-
ately available.
In March, a 17-year-old boy who jumped
from the bridge during a school field trip sur-
vived with only bruises and the threat of
prosecution for trespassing. Authorities said
he climbed over a railing as a stunt, possibly
after being goaded into it by classmates.
Media asks court to unseal
gay marriage trial tapes
SAN FRANCISCO — Media organiza-

release videotapes of a lower court trial on
California’s gay marriage ban.
The 13 organizations, which include the
Associated Press, argued in a motion filed
Monday with the 9th U.S. Court of Appeals
that the videos are court records that the First

The move came after
now-retired Judge Vaughn Walker, who
declared Proposition 8 unconstitutional, used
a brief segment of the video in several public
talks.
The 9th Circuit now is considering the gay
marriage case on appeal.
Admission rate drops for UC
freshmen from California
SAN FRANCISCO — Getting into the
University of California is getting harder for
freshmen — unless you’re not from
California.
University officials released admissions
data Monday showing that just under 70 per-
cent of California freshmen applicants were
offered admission for fall 2011. That’s down
from 71.7 percent last year and 72.6 percent
in 2009.
The rate of out-of-state students being
offered admission jumped to more than 60
percent this year from about 51 percent in
2010 and 44 percent in 2009.
The admission rate also increased for inter-
national students applying as freshmen in
2011.
The university offered admission to about
64 percent of international freshman appli-
cants, up from around 53 percent in 2010 and
44 percent in 2009.

Toxic chemicals
prompt evacuation
of apartment building
Residents of a Redwood City
apartment building were evacuated
Sunday night because of a chemi-
cal release related to an apparent
suicide, police said.
Officers responded to an apart-
ment building in the 1500 block of
Regent Street at about 7 p.m. after
receiving a report that a teenage
boy had barricaded himself in a
bathroom and was possibly com-
mitting suicide, police said.
Police broke down the bathroom
door and found the boy deceased.
Investigators discovered that the
teen had prepared a toxic mix of
chemicals, which he deliberately
inhaled, police said.
A hazardous materials team
responded and evacuated the build-
ing until the chemicals no longer
posed a threat, and residents were
then allowed to return home.
Two police officers, a sergeant
and several residents who were
exposed to the chemicals were
decontaminated and taken to a hos-
pital for observation. They have all
since been released.

plete home projects was convicted
by a jury of diverting funds, con-
tracting without a license and
accepting a down payment greater
than $1,000.
A jury deliberated a little more
than two hours Friday before con-
victing Michael George Schaeffer,
51, of two felony counts of divert-
ing funds and the other two misde-
meanors. A judge denied the pros-
ecution’s request to take Schaeffer
into custody and he remains free
on $50,000 bail pending a June 3
sentencing hearing.
Schaeffer did not testify nor did
the defense present any evidence in
his three-day trial. Prior to jury
deliberations, the judge granted the
defense requests to dismiss two
counts of felony grand theft.
Prosecutors say Schaeffer col-
lected thousands of dollars for the
two remodels but abandoned the
projects before completion. One
house was gutted to the point of
being uninhabitable and another
renovated without permits, accord-
ing to the District Attorney’s
Office.
Schaeffer made a splash in local
sustainable building circles with
his own contracting work and as
CEO of the Green Building
Exchange in Redwood City. A year
after opening, the exchange filed
for bankruptcy, claiming nearly $1
million in debt, and moved out of
Redwood City.

From ‘stable’ to ‘negative’
S&P warning: Fix deficit or risk credit rating
By Paul Wiseman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A key credit
agency issued an unprecedented
warning to the United States gov-
ernment Monday, urging
Washington to get a grip on its
finances or risk losing the nation’s
sterling credit rating.
For the first time, Standard &
Poor’s lowered its long-term out-
look for the federal government’s
fiscal health from “stable” to “nega-
tive,” and warned of serious conse-
quences if lawmakers fail to reach a
deal to control the massive federal
deficit.

By Suzanne Gamboa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President
Barack Obama has marshaled the
likes of former California Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the mayors
of New York and San Antonio and
Philadelphia’s police commissioner
in an attempt to show wide and var-
ied support for an overhaul of the
years, S&P said. A loss of the triple-
A rating would ripple through the
American economy, making loans
more expensive and credit more dif-
ficult to obtain.
The downgrade was interpreted as
a rebuke to President Barack Obama
and congressional Republicans,
admonishing them to put politics
aside and come up with a long-term
financial plan as soon as possible.
“This is a warning: Don’t mess
around,” said Robert Bixby, execu-
tive director of the Concord
Coalition, a nonpartisan group that
is pushing for deficit reduction.
Analysts at S&P have never
before used the outlook to cast
doubt on the nation’s credit worthi-
ness.
In response, stocks suffered their
nation’s immigration laws.
The invitees are among a biparti-
san group expected to meet with

Jones industrial average plunged
245 points before recovering to
close down 140 points for the day.
“The credit quality of U.S. debt is
sacrosanct, and legislators will do
everything within their power to
avoid a downgrade,” said Jack
Ablin, chief investment officer at
Harris Private Bank.
The government is on pace to run
a record $1.5 trillion deficit this
year, the third consecutive deficit
exceeding $1 trillion.
But so far, S&P sees little chance
that the White House and Congress
will agree on a deficit-reduction
plan before the November 2012
elections, and the rating agency
doubts that any plan would be in
place until 2014 or later.
Commissioner Charles Ramsey,
who also served as Washington,
D.C., police chief, are among those
invited.
In a statement issued late Monday,
the White House said the president is
holding the meeting to discuss the
importance of fixing the nation’s
“broken immigration system” to
meet the country’s 21st century eco-
nomic and national security needs.

L.A. Times wins Pulitzer

for exposing big salaries
By Chris Hawley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — The Los Angeles Times

won a Pulitzer Prize for public service Monday
for revealing that politicians in a small, work-
ing-class California city were paying them-
selves exorbitant salaries. But for the first time
in the Pulitzers’ 95-year history, no award was
given in the category of breaking news — the
bread and butter of daily journalism.
In a year when the big stories included the
devastating earthquake in Haiti and the Gulf
oil spill, the Pulitzer Board didn’t like the
entries in the breaking news category enough
to honor any of them with the most prestigious
award in journalism.
The Los Angeles Times won for its series
revealing that politicians in Bell were drawing
salaries well into six figures. The newspaper’s
reporting that officials in the struggling city of
37,000 people were raising property taxes and
other fees in part to cover the huge salaries led
to arrests and the ouster of some of Bell’s top
officials. The Times won a second Pulitzer for
feature photography, and The New York Times
was awarded two Pulitzers for international
reporting and for commentary.

Bell, who were able to get rid of, there’s no
other way to say it, an oppressive regime,” said
reporter Jeff Gottlieb, clutching a bottle of
champagne before about 100 people in the
newsroom.
Ruben Vives, another staff writer on the
story, said: “At a time when people are saying
newspapers are dying, I think this is the day
when we can say, no, not really. We gave a
small town, we gave them an opportunity to
speak out. That’s what newspapers do.”

Syrian activists begin sit-in for Assad ouster
By Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT — More than 5,000 anti-
government protesters in Syria took
over the main square of the coun-
try’s third-largest city Monday,
vowing to occupy the site until
President Bashar Assad is ousted
and defying authorities who warn
they will not be forced into reforms.
The government, however,
blamed the weeks of anti-govern-
ment unrest in the country on ultra-
conservative Muslims seeking to
establish a fundamentalist state and
terrorize the people, in the latest
official effort to portray the reform
movement as populated by extrem-
ists.

Taliban militant kills two

KABUL, Afghanistan — A
Taliban militant opened fire inside
the Afghan Defense Ministry on
Monday, killing two Afghan sol-
diers in the latest daring attack
inside a government or military
installation.
The Taliban said one of their
agents who was also an army officer
planned the attack to coincide with a
visit of the French defense minister.
French officials said the minister,
Gerard Longuet, was not in the min-
istry at the time.
Despite the Taliban claim, Afghan
military officials said it was not

rigged with explosives — was an
enlisted soldier or an insurgent dis-

The economics of the Saltworks issue

Conservation and Development
Commission was created at the urging
of Save the Bay, a spokesman said, “We were
too late to stop Foster City, but we will see
that there are no others.” Foster City along
with Redwood Shores and Mariners Island
did indeed get built, but there have been no
others. I mention those three because the
Saltworks project is similar in many ways. It
is a salt evaporation pond behind levees
which were built over 100 years ago. It has
not been a part of the Bay since around 1900.
If Save the Bay had started earlier and pre-
vented the development of those three devel-
opments, it is fair to ask where that almost
$10 billion in assessed value and where those
50,000 people would have gone? Where
would the great companies which have locat-
ed there have located? The long list includes
Gilead, Visa, Electronic Arts, Oracle,
Electronics For Imaging, etc.
Save the Bay and the other environmental
groups avoid discussing the economics of the
issue. In considering the cost of restoring this
land to the Bay, I call attention to the fact
Letters to the editor
The future of Saltworks in question
Editor,
Did DMB really default on its Market
Street at DC Ranch property in Arizona, or
was this simply a negotiated loan restructure
as DMB senior vice president David Smith
claims in his April 9 letter? The Arizona
Republic reported Aug. 4 that DMB stopped
making payments on its $47.5 million loan
10 months earlier. Sounds like a default to
me.
Yes, we’re in a bad economy. But while
DMB was not making its loan payments in
Arizona, the company was pumping millions
of dollars into the marketing and environ-
mental review of its Redwood City Saltworks
project. Given this level of activity and
DMB’s resources, why wouldn’t DMB meet
its loan obligations? I think I know why —
Market Street was an underperforming and
over-leveraged project and DMB didn’t want
to pay for it. So it defaulted intentionally to
either force a favorable loan restructure or to
dump the project on someone else. Maybe
this is good business, but it doesn’t say much
for their ethics.
Market Street is small potatoes compared
to Saltworks. For Saltworks to succeed,
DMB will need to construct an extensive net-
work of roads and utility services, build a
huge levee system, create and fill their
Village Center and a new office district, build
an entirely new transit system, build parks
and recreational fields, restore wetlands and,
finally, find 12,000 buyers to pay market rate
in suburbia to live in high-density housing.
How leveraged will this project be? What
will DMB do if Saltworks doesn’t perform
to their expectations? I think we already

15,000 acres of salt ponds

Saltworks land today? Clearly, well over
$100 million. Further, the land will leave the

Good luck to San
Mateo council candidates
Editor,
Your April 12 article reporting the candida-
cies of two apparently well-qualified San
Mateo residents, Craig Patterson and Maureen
Freschet, is gratifying.
As an optimist, I am hoping that candidates
like them could join David Lim with innova-
tive, fresh and untried approaches to old prob-
lems. We can no longer solve everything with
the so-called temporary parcel tax. They never
expire, and if and when they do, they are only
increased and extended again and again. Both
of them seem to have good jobs, so one hopes
they could stay put serving the city of San
Mateo for a long while before running for
supervisor or for the Assembly. We should
thank John Lee for his many years serving our
city. It would be interesting to hear specific
details about their plans to deal with the chal-
lenges facing San Mateo. Freschet’s goal “to
make sure the city can achieve long-term
financial sustainability without sacrificing
services” is an commonly used phrase heard
only before elections. Then reality sets in for
our freshman council member. Eliminate
waste, get rid of cellphones and pagers,
reform pensions, eliminate city provided vehi-
cles ... paying mileage instead, freeze hiring,
share administrative assistants, get 30 percent
to 40 percent of all police officers out of their
cars and into the community. Have them use

If one is concerned with increasing traffic
and paying for a dozen additional highway

Saltworks development — it will be because
of the increase in the number of jobs. For
that you must blame Apple and Google and
Oracle and Hewlett Packard and the other

County supervisor
election lawsuit is frivolous
Editor,
I just read Michele Durand’s article,
“County sued over elections,” in the April 15
edition of the Daily Journal about the lawsuit
against the county for electing its supervisors
countywide rather than by specific districts. It
seems to me the plaintiffs are basing it on the
wrong premise, stating that it is inequitable to
minorities because we’ve only elected one
Latino since 1995 and no Asians. If candidates
have won their own districts but lost because
of the countywide vote, that would seem like a
valid argument against the current system.
That should be easy enough to determine by
examining election records. Any other basis
for the lawsuit seems frivolous.

Plot twists, twins
and lessons in life
E verything I need to know I learned from
soap operas. Maybe not how to tie my
shoes or balance a checkbook, though.
In soap opera land, all the women wear heels —
until reaching a certain age in which case the
focus is on turbans, not
footwear — and nobody
seems to discuss money
outside of passing men-
tions as part of their
jobs as beauty empire
CEO/brilliant brain sur-
geon/international super
spy.
For everything else,
there were soap
operas. With last
week’s announcement
that ABC staples “All
My Children” and “One Life to Live” faces
certain death, lets take a moment to revisit
some of the wisdom imparted to the genera-
tions raised on Luke and Laura.
First off, everybody has a twin. Who looks
exactly alike. And is evil. Chances are good if
you are about to be married, inherit well or stage
a massive corporate takeover, your twin is ready
to throw you in a well, assume your identity and
pretty much cause havoc until a handsome yet
troubled stranger with a deep secret and deeper
pockets stumbles upon your clandestine prison
while searching his soul in the forest. That
stranger will also have a name not found outside
romance novels and Hollywood offspring.
Storm, Bolt, Ridge.
Once saved, you will be forced to choose
between your cuckolded fiancee who has since
left the evil twin in the family way and the new
stranger who turns out is the long-lost father of
your half sister. Life is complicated — that’s
what soaps tell us.
Soaps also teach us that bad girls have more
fun but the good girls get the super-wedding of
their dreams with months of build up, more tulle
than necessary and a gaggle of ugly bridesmaids
dresses worn by characters that never appeared
to actually know the happy couple.
When a person disappears unexpectedly —
and all wells have been ruled out — alien
abduction is always a strong possibility as is
brainwashing, discovery of a hidden city under-
ground and induction into the mob. Even if
you’ve seen the fatal explosion or had them slip
away from the sniper’s bullet while cradled in
your arms, remember they might just be part of
the witness protection program or frozen until
the mad scientist trying for world domination
with his potions and vials comes up with a
method of resurrection. Of course, when these
folks return, don’t expect them to look the same.
Plastic surgery, they will say. Or a brain trans-
plant into a new body. Maybe they won’t say at
all, assuming that you won’t recall the short
blonde southern girl is now a willowy brunette
with an Australian accent. Again, the soaps
teach planning for the unexpected.
They instruct us to cherish the brief days of
childhood for as soon as all the paternity ques-
tions are answered and you’ve given birth on a
deserted island during the sweeps week story
arc, the little darling will grow into a teen in a
matter of months, go off to college, then return a
full adult with his or her own dark secrets, ille-
gitimate children and tortuous love triangles.
Lesson here? Life is fleeting.
The soaps also offer hope for those who come
from the wrong side of the tracks or seem to
have no discernible skill set. Dancers and trailer
dwellers get to marry the rich and powerful,
divorcees get to play ambassador to mythical
foreign countries and sometimes all one needs
to be police commissioner is a cute smile and
prior stints as a bar owner and private investiga-
tor. In the world of soaps, there is a wealth of
possibility.
Of course, for the pair given the ax last week,
that possibility has disappeared with the aging
of its prime demographic, a new focus on reality
television and any number of doctors given
blessings and air time by Oprah.
Maybe there is only one life to live for all my
children and all of yours, too. Or maybe their
disappearance is the biggest cliffhanger of all.
Blame the evil twin.

Stocks see steep slide

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A warning from
Standard & Poor’s that the agency might
lower its rating on U.S. government debt
sent stocks on their steepest slide in a
month Monday.
S&P said there is a 33 percent chance
it would lower the country’s credit rating
from AAA in the next two years if
Washington fails to pare the country’s
debts.
The Dow Jones industrial average, the
S&P 500 index and the Nasdaq compos-

March 16.
The Dow fell 140.24 points, or 1.1
percent, to close at 12,201.59. The
Standard & Poor’s 500 fell 14.54, or 1.1
percent, to 1,305.14. The Nasdaq com-
posite fell 29.27, also 1.1 percent, to
2,735.38.
S&P reaffirmed the U.S. government’s
top credit rating of AAA but expressed
doubts that Washington would move
quickly to curb the country’s mounting

Super rich see federal taxes drop
By Stephen Ohlemacher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Still scrambling to
file your taxes? You’ll probably take little
consolation in hearing that the super rich
pay a lot less taxes than they did a couple
of decades ago. And nearly half of U.S.
households pay no income taxes at all.
The Internal Revenue Service tracks
the tax returns with the 400 highest
adjusted gross incomes each year. The
average income on those returns in 2007,
the latest year for IRS data, was nearly
$345 million. Their average federal
income tax rate was 17 percent, down
from 26 percent in 1992.
Over the same period, the average fed-
eral income tax rate for all taxpayers
declined to 9.3 percent from 9.9 percent.
The top income tax rate is 35 percent,
so how can people who make so much
pay so little in taxes? The nation’s tax
laws are packed with breaks for people
at every income level. There are breaks
for having children, paying a mortgage,
going to college, and even for paying
other taxes. Plus, the top rate on capital
gains is only 15 percent.
Yahoo 1Q results may show tighter cost control
Yahoo extends time
it retains records
WASHINGTON — Yahoo plans to
extend the amount of time it retains
records on what its users search for
online, less than two and a half years
after breaking from the other big
Internet search engines and promising
to delete such data promptly.
The new policy brings the company
in line with Google Inc., which domi-
nates the industry, and Microsoft
Corp., which powers Yahoo’s search
results under a partnership reached last
year. Those companies failed to follow
Yahoo Inc.’s lead when it shortened the
amount of time that it keeps online
search records to 90 days in most
cases.
Beginning this summer, after notify-
ing customers, Yahoo will join Google
and Microsoft in keeping search logs
for 18 months.
Wall Street
“This is a wake-up call,” said Peter
Cardillo, chief market economist at New
York-based brokerage house Avalon
Partners Inc. “The government is now
going to have to do something to cut the
budget. That is a long-term positive for
the stock market, though it might not be
in the near term.”
The change means that S&P could
lower its rating on U.S. government debt
in the future. If that were to happen, the
U.S. government would have to pay
more to borrow money when it issues
bonds.
Since the government’s borrowing
rates are used as a benchmark for nearly
all kinds of debt, many borrowers would
also pay higher rates, including compa-
nies, homeowners and credit card users.
That would have a negative impact on
spending in general and the overall econ-
omy.
“The credit worthiness of the country
is the underpinning on which all other
asset classes are valued,” said Jack
Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris
Private Bank. “If all of a sudden the
credit quality of U.S. Treasurys isn’t as
high as people perceive, we could see
(an) erosion of confidence and values
decline.”
There are so many breaks that 45 per-
cent of U.S. households will pay no fed-
eral income tax for 2010, according to
estimates by the Tax Policy Center, a
Washington think tank.
“It’s the fact that we are using the tax
code both to collect revenue, which is its
primary purpose, and to deliver these
spending benefits that we run into the
situation where so many people are pay-
ing no taxes,” said Roberton Williams, a
senior fellow at the center, which gener-
ated the estimate of people who pay no
income taxes.
The sheer volume of credits, deduc-
tions and exemptions has both
Democrats and Republicans calling for
tax laws to be overhauled. House
Republicans want to eliminate breaks to
pay for lower overall rates, reducing the
top tax rate from 35 percent to 25 per-
cent. Republicans oppose raising taxes,
but they argue that a more efficient tax
code would increase economic activity,
generating additional tax revenue.

week he wants to do away with tax
breaks to lower the rates and to reduce
government borrowing. Obama’s pro-

SAN FRANCISCO — Internet compa-

This quarter is likely to demonstrate
that Yahoo has been doing at least one
thing better than its much more successful
rival Google Inc.: controlling expenses.
Investors punished Google last week
after the Internet search leader released its
first-quarter results, despite a 27 percent
increase in revenue. The reason for the
backlash: Google’s expenses accelerated
at an even faster rate than revenue, driv-
ing earnings below analyst estimates.
Financial discipline hasn’t been a con-
cern at Yahoo, where CEO Carol Bartz
hired a cost-cutting chief financial officer,
Tim Morse, to trim staff and other
expenses to boost earnings while the
company’s revenue sagged. The problem
for Yahoo is that its growth is still lagging

Brewer is heating up for Bears It is never

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Daily Journal Athlete of the Week is
usually awarded to someone who puts up eye-
popping numbers in a seven-day span. They’re
usually ungodly figures that make you do a
double-take.
This week, it’s not about numbers, it’s about
the outcomes and the prospect of turning a
season around for a team that has struggled
out of the gate.
Myles Brewer, outfielder and pitcher for the
Menlo-Atherton baseball team, carried his
team last week in securing a pair of huge
Peninsula Athletic League wins. The Ws were
big as they lifted MA to 4-4 mark in league,
only a game behind first place Carlmont in the
loss column. On Wednesday, Brewer was the
winning pitcher of record and picked up a pair
of RBIs in route to a 16-6 win. On Friday, the
senior was 2-for-4 at the plate and supplied
what turned out to be the winning hit, a bases-
clearing double off the right field fence, in
MA’s 8-5 victory.
For his efforts, Brewer is the Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week.
“Myles got us back on a winning streak,”
said Menlo Atherton manager Mike Amoroso,
“and that’s going to play hugely into the rest
of the league season.”
Hovering near the bottom of the standings
isn’t somewhere the Bears are used to under
Amoroso, and after suffering back-to-back
losses to Carlmont the week before, having
Brewer step to the forefront might be the cat-
alyst MA needs to make a serious run in the
division.
“Myles and Nick Lange are kind of battling
it out for the number one spot right now in our
rotation and we’re looking at Myles as a sen-
ior role model, senior leadership.”
If there’s a word to describe Myles during
this stretch of games it’s “clutch.”
Against the Dons on Wednesday, Myles
allowed a run in the top of the first inning, but
settled down nicely afterwards; for the most
part because his teammates supplied him with
an eight-run advantage after two innings.
After 4 innings of work, Myles was taken out
with the win well in hand.
See AOTW, Page 14
Athlete of the Week easy for
the Sharks
As the San Jose Sharks prepared to open
the playoffs last week, I had a conversation
with my colleague Bill Silverfarb about
them. For the first time in several years,
neither of us were too concerned about San
Jose advancing out of the first round.
Putting it bluntly: the Los Angeles Kings
just don’t scare me.
Well, at least they didn’t until they put a
whipping on the Sharks Saturday night.
With the best-of-
seven series tied at 1,
it is down to a best-
of-five with the Kings
now holding the
home-ice advantage.
What is it about the
Sharks? More specifi-
cally, what is it about
the Sharks and the
playoffs? You look
around the NHL play-
offs and the for the
most part, the top
seeds are dominating
their series. And yet the Sharks, who have
been among the NHL’s elite for the better
part of a decade now, always seem to scuf-
fle in the playoffs nearly every year. Last
year was one of their best playoff perform-
ances, advancing to the Western
Conference finals before losing to eventual
Stanley Cup champion Chicago
Blackhawks.
No shame in losing to the eventual Cup
champs. But to get swept? That is unac-
ceptable.
Now I’m sure the Kings are a decent
enough squad, and after watching the first
two games, they are giving the Sharks all
they can handle. And is usually the case for
the Sharks in the playoffs, the Kings’ goal-
tender — much like Chicago’s Antti Niemi
last year (who, coincidentally, is now the
Sharks’ goalie this year), or Jonas Hiller of

Lincecum,Giants cool off hot Rockies

By Arnie Stapleton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Tim Lincecum and the San
Francisco Giants sure weren’t complaining about
the humidor Monday night.
Lincecum, the two-time Cy Young Award win-
ner who led the Giants to the World Series title six
months ago, took a no-hitter into the seventh
inning at Coors Field and San Francisco routed the
Colorado Rockies 8-1.
Spotted an early eight-run cushion thanks to
homers by Pat Burrell, Nate Schierholtz and
Freddy Sanchez, Lincecum cruised through
Colorado’s lineup, dominating baseball’s best
team over the season’s first 2 1/2 weeks until
Carlos Gonzalez broke up his no-hit bid with a
clean single in the seventh.
Lincecum (2-1) allowed one run and three hits
over 7 2-3 spectacular innings. He walked three,
struck out 10 and allowed just four balls out of the
infield, none in the first six innings.
This was the first visit to Coors Field by the
Giants since they made a stink about the humidor
protocol prior to a key series last September —
Giants 8, Rockies 1
before the Rockies faded
from the playoff race and the
Giants went on to win their
first championship since
moving West in 1958.
The Rockies entered the
night with a 12-3 mark and a
four-game lead over San
Francisco in the NL West,
Tim Lincecum but right-hander Esmil
Rogers (2-1) allowed eight
runs and six hits over three innings in just the sec-
ond loss by a Rockies starter this season.
Lincecum was shooting for the 14th no-hitter in
franchise history and the first since Jonathan
Sanchez handcuffed the San Diego Padres on July
10, 2009, which snapped a 32-year Giants
drought.
The only no-hitter at Coors Field was thrown by
Hideo Nomo of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sept.
17, 1996.
With one out in the seventh, Gonzalez ground-
ed a sharp single to right for the first hit off
Lincecum, who had benefited from some nice
defensive plays by second baseman Freddy
Sanchez, including a diving stop of Gonzalez’s
hard grounder in the first.
Lincecum didn’t allow a ball to the outfield until
Jonathan Herrera led off the seventh with a fly to
deep right. By then, the ball wasn’t carrying and it
settled into Schierholtz’s glove.
Todd Helton’s double down the right-field line
with two outs drove home Gonzalez.
Ryan Vogelsong got the final four outs for San
Francisco.
Last fall, the commissioner’s office changed
how baseballs are removed from the Coors Field
humidor and monitored during games after
Giants general manager Brian Sabean expressed
his concerns to MLB vice president of operations
Joe Garagiola Jr.
During that final homestand, the umpires
became directly involved in taking balls from
the humidor and placing them in full view dur-
ing the game. Before that, the Rockies had a
team employee handle the baseballs, and that
led to a lot of grousing by opponents that some
livelier, non-humidor baseballs were being put
into play when the Rockies were batting, giv-
ing them an unfair advantage.
Although there was no proof of any such
shenanigans, MLB changed the protocol one day
after Lincecum, during the sixth inning of a stellar
performance, was caught on camera uttering
expletives after being given a new ball following a
pitch to Miguel Olivo: “Juiced ball,” Lincecum
said. “This is (expletive).”
This season, Major League Baseball went a step
further, adding an authenticator who watches as
baseballs are removed from the humidor by an
umpire room attendant. The authenticator, who is
employed by MLB, follows the attendant to the
umpire’s room, where the baseballs are rubbed
down, and accompanies the attendant as the balls
are placed in the Rockies’ dugout.
During games, the authenticator sits in the photo
well to the right of the Rockies’ dugout with the
bag of balls in sight.
“What humidor comments?” Colorado catcher
Chris Iannetta retorted when asked before the
game if the club holds any grudge with the Giants
over the matter. “I completely forgot about it until
you told me about it. So, no.”
The rivalry is spicy enough without any humi-
dor hyperbole.

Migraine doesn’t keep Wade out of Game 2

By Tim Reynolds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Dwyane Wade’s migraine
“nightmare” ended in time for Game 2 of the
playoffs.
Wade had 14 points and six rebounds for the
Miami Heat as they took a 2-0 lead in their
Eastern Conference first-round series against
the Philadelphia 76ers with a 94-73 victory on
Monday night — one day after he missed
practice with a migraine headache.
Wade considered wearing tinted glasses to
protect his eyes from bright light, a known
migraine trigger, but decided to play the game
without any accessories.
None were needed, and he
logged 34 minutes with no
obvious problems.
“I was just excited to
wake up this morning
without a massive
headache,” Wade said.
He worked out twice
Monday, in between get-

system for energy after not eating Sunday. By
game time, he was good to go.
“Just having him on the court, just having
him be a presence ... attracts double-teams,”
Heat forward LeBron James said. “You have
to account for him when he’s out there. He
definitely helped us.”
Wade played through a headache in Game 1
and scored 17 points, the last five coming in
the final 94 seconds to help Miami seal the
win. He told the team before Saturday’s game
that he was not feeling great, though he
played 35 minutes in Game 1 without any
major issues.
On Sunday, he awoke with a migraine.
Wade made his first public comments about
his latest bout with migraines Monday after-
noon on Twitter, thanking people “for the sup-
port as I go (through) these migraine night-
mares.”
“He’s had these before and he’s not the only
one on our team. We’ve learned a lot more
about migraines with him and James Jones
having to deal with it,” Heat coach Erik
Spoelstra said. “So he’s able to manage it as
well as you possibly can.”
The 76ers expected Wade to play, and coach
Doug Collins even had some comedy ready
for the news that the 2006 NBA finals MVP
was back at practice.
“I have a set of cymbals that every time he
runs by the bench, I’m slashing them,” Collins
said before the game. “And I went out and
bought the brightest flashlight I could find,
and every time I get eye contact I’m shooting
it at him. ... I think his mental capacity to fight
through these things is off the charts.”

Kings getting offense from defensemen
By Beth Harris
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — With leading scorer
Anze Kopitar sidelined for the playoffs and
Jarret Stoll suspended one game, the Los
Angeles Kings found some much-needed
offense among their defensemen.
Drew Doughty notched four points in the
Kings’ 4-0 victory over the San Jose Sharks
that tied their first-round playoff series at a
game apiece. Besides scoring twice, Doughty
assisted on a power-play goal by fellow
defenseman Jack Johnson and a rebound goal
by forward Kyle Clifford.
Stoll will be back for Game 3 on Tuesday
night at Staples Center. He missed Saturday’s
win after being suspended for a hit from
behind on Sharks defenseman Ian White, who
plans to return, too.
White left the series opener, which the
Sharks won in overtime, after absorbing
Stoll’s hit and didn’t play in Game 2 because
of a concussion, but he practiced on Monday.
Stoll said Monday that he texted White to
“let him know that I didn’t mean to hurt him
in any way. He appreciated the text and reach-
ing out to him. Sorry it happened, sorry I
Study: NHL players had 559 concussions from 97-04
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO — A new study finds that the
amount of time NHL players missed because of
concussions increased from 1997 to 2004.
The report published Monday in the Canadian
Medical Association Journal, the largest and most
detailed analysis of concussions in hockey, exam-
ined physician reports from seven regular seasons.
There were a total of 559 concussions during reg-
ular-season games, a concussion rate of 5.8 for
every 100 players, or an estimated 1.8 concussions
per 1,000 player-hours.
“We found some interesting trends — one being
a gradual increase in post-concussion time loss
over the seven years of study,” said lead author Dr.
Brian Benson of the Sport Medicine Centre at the
University of Calgary’s faculty of kinesiology.
“That may be due to the concussions being severe

missed a game and happy our team came out
and got the win.”
“Having Stoli back is a huge part for us,”
Doughty said after practice. “Our fans are
going to be great, really loud and we’re going
to be really pumped and excited for it.”
The Kings will wear their black jerseys at
home, where their average attendance of
18,083 was the highest in club history, and
they’re encouraging their fans to dress all in
black while waving black rally towels.
“With two California teams especially, it’s
going to get revved up, and that’s great for the
game,” Kings coach Terry Murray said.
Sitting out Game 2 gave Stoll a coach’s per-
spective on how the Kings played.
“There wasn’t any stretches where we had
lapses or inconsistency with our play,” he
said. “We stuck with it and kept going.
Everybody was just rolling over the boards
and having fun with it. When you do that,
you’re usually going to come out on top.”
Doughty’s four points tied a Kings playoff
record for a defenseman, and Johnson added
or physicians being more conservative in their
return-to-play decisions.”
Benson said the NHL was looking at the data
closely.
“They’ve been careful not to make haphazard
decisions and they certainly want to study this
well,” he said. “That takes time. Concussion
changes from season to season. So we have longi-
tudinal data over seven years where they can make
informed decisions on any measures they want to
take to try to reduce this injury.”
The highest profile player to be sidelined by a
concussion in recent months is Pittsburgh
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, who has not
played since Jan. 5. His injury will be included in
the next round of data.
“The concussion working group right now is
working on analyzing the data from 2006 to 2011,

were shutting down San Jose’s attack.
“He definitely made his plays when he was
there and scored a few goals but they came off
our breakdowns,” Sharks center Joe Pavelski
said about Doughty. “We need all five guys
playing defensively as well as on the offense.
We can handle him when we do that and put
pucks in better spots.”
Doughty keyed a power play that improved
to 3-for-6 in the series after struggling in the
regular season. The same thing happened a
year ago against Vancouver in the first round,
when the Kings were 10-for-26 with a man
advantage before eventually losing in six
games.
“Last year we really stepped up on the
power play as well. I don’t know why we
can’t do it during the regular season,”
Doughty said. “It’s a key part to our offense.
With Kopi being out, our offense is going to
struggle a little bit more so our power play has
got to come up huge like it did last game. We
got to capitalize every chance we get.”
within the year,” Benson said.
In March, commissioner Gary Bettman
announced new concussion protocols. Players
who display symptoms are given a test by a doc-
tor in a quiet location before returning to the ice,
rather than trainers doing an exam on the bench
during a game.
The league is also working with the NHL
Players’Association on equipment modifications.
Of the 529 cases in which lost time was record-
ed, 31 percent involved players missing more than
10 days of competition. In 11 percent of those
cases, players continued to play and then later
reported symptoms to medical staff after the game.
The highest concussion rate recorded was 7.7
per 100 players in the 2000-01 regular season,
while the lowest was 4.6 in 1997-98. The last year
covered by the statistics — 2003-04 — saw a rate
of 4.9 per 100 players.
Tuesday • April 19, 2011 13
Doughty is doing just that after a lackluster
training camp and suffering a concussion in
October that sidelined him for six games. The
effects lingered long after, when he wasn’t the
same aggressive player that helped Canada
win Olympic gold last year.
“He wasn’t quite moving. He wasn’t skating
with the authority, with the puck in particular
and then the concussion happens, so there’s a
big step back after recovering from that,”
Murray said.
“Players sometimes, not just Drew, are
going to say, ’Gee, I thought I was playing
pretty good,’ especially when you’re a young
guy. The last half of the year he’s been play-
ing the kind of game that we want.”
The Sharks will need at least one win in the
next two games to regain home ice advantage
and avoid facing elimination when the series
returns to the Bay Area.
“They outcompeted us in every aspect of
the game,” Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard
Vlasic said. “That’s usually what it is. The
team’s that down comes out hard. The team
that’s up has to try to match their intensity and
we didn’t do that. In Game 3 we’ll have to
play the way they did (Saturday).”
Centers had twice the risk of concussion com-
pared with wings or defensemen, Benson said.
Almost 70 percent of cases were first concus-
sions, 22 percent were a second concussion and
the rest were third or more.
Dr. Michael Cusimano, a neurosurgeon at St.
Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, said the study
probably underestimated concussions because it
covered a time period before there was widespread
awareness about the dangers of the injury.
“There was probably some under-recognition
and players were probably returning too early in
some instances,” he said. “There were a significant
number that returned, in fact, to the game imme-
diately. And that wouldn’t be allowed by most
doctors who know about the nervous system these
days, and those players that return too early, not
surprisingly, had significant complication rates.”

football to downtown Los Angeles is not supposed
to cost a public penny, but a little-noticed provision
in a current draft of the plan would transfer valu-
able development rights from the city to the devel-
oper pitching the project.
The concession sought by sports and entertain-
ment company AEG would allow the company to
expand its robust presence in a rapidly developing
area considered a cornerstone of the city’s down-
town revival.
The company’s initial printed pitch, which a City
Council committee will begin considering
Monday, envisions a deal that would grant it the
ability to build on a 2.4-acre parcel within its LA
Live hotel and restaurant complex that the city
planned to use to expand its aging convention cen-
ter.
The firm had agreed to leave the so-called Event
Deck parcel alone until 2021 as part of the 2001
deal that allowed the company to build its 27-acre
LA Live project on land that it owns.
After that, the 250,000 square feet of develop-
ment rights over several stories would fall into
AEG’s hands to add to LA Live, a buzzing oasis of
nighttime activity that was promoted as a major
draw to enliven a once-sleepy downtown.
AEG now says the city no longer needs access to
the parcel, which experts said could be developed
into retail and office space worth millions to the
company each year in leasing revenue, because a
new convention center building would be built
along with the 72,000-seat stadium it has proposed.

Local pro boxers experienced both ends of

Francisco’s Longshoremen’s Hall.
Joe Gumina, a light-heavyweight out of
San Bruno, improved to 2-0 in his fledgling
pro career as he destroyed Harry Gopaul of
Sacramento, recording a first-round, techni-
cal knockout. Gumina knocked down Gopaul
twice and was punishing him on the ropes
when the referee stopped the fight just 1:31
into the first round.
Redwood City heavyweight Juan
Hernandez was not as fortunate as Gumina.
Hernandez, in his second pro fight, lost a
unanimous decision to Lamont Williams of
Fairfield. Hernandez scored a first-round
knockdown, but Williams recovered to record

At the plate, Myles didn’t have an official

It was the same formula for the Bears

Exciting finishes in Boston Marathon
By Jimmy Golen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Kenya’s Geoffrey
Mutai ran the fastest 26.2 miles in
history to win the Boston Marathon
on Monday. Then his claim to a
world record was swallowed up by
the hills.
Not the inclines of Heartbreak Hill
that have doomed so many runners
before him.
It was the downhill part of the race
that makes his time of 2 hours, 3
minutes, 2 seconds ineligible for an
official world record. In short: IAAF
rules have deemed the oldest and
most prestigious marathon in the
world — long considered the one of
the most difficult, too — to be too
easy.
“You don’t look at world records.
You just go,” Mutai said. “If you are
strong, you push it. But if you put it
in your head, you can’t make it.”
Mutai outsprinted Moses Mosop
Lakers regroup, after Hornets’ surprising win
By Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Nearly seven
months and 83 games after the Los
Angeles Lakers returned from their
second straight championship run,
they’re still searching for the mental
motivation necessary to chase that
third straight ring.
That’s not just the opinion of pun-
dits, opposing scouts or furious fans.
These Lakers freely acknowledge it
after Chris Paul and the New Orleans
Hornets made them look like playoff
newbies in their first-round series
opener.
“We have to change our disposition
as a team,” Lamar Odom said
Monday. “We have to get a different
energy.”
If a series-opening loss to ragtag
New Orleans can’t get their attention,
what can? The Lakers will find out in
Game 2 on Wednesday night.
Paul and the Hornets played with
all the urgency Los Angeles lacked in
their 109-100 win Sunday, making
few mistakes while beating the Lakers
at many of the champs’ strengths. The
down Boylston Street to win by four
seconds as the two Kenyans both
beat Haile Gebrselassie’s sanctioned
world record of 2:03:59. Four men,
including third-place finisher
Gebregziabher Gebremariam of
Ethiopia and American Ryan Hall,
broke the course record of 2:05:52
set just last year by Robert Kiprono
Cheruiyot.
“These guys obviously showed us
what’s possible for the marathon,”
said Hall, whose 2:04:58 is the
fastest ever run by an American. “I
was out there running, and I was
thinking to myself, ’I can’t believe
this is happening right now. I’m run-
ning a 2:04 pace, and I can’t even see
the leaders.’ It was unreal.”
The IAAF must certify a world
record, and it is unlikely to approve
Mutai’s feat. The international gov-
erning body’s Rule 206 requires
courses to start and finish near the
same point in order to discourage
downhill, wind-aided runs and the
Lakers couldn’t match the Hornets’
urgency or inventiveness — and they
didn’t really appear interested in try-
ing, outside of Kobe Bryant’s 34-
point performance while taking more
shots (26) than any three of his team-
mates combined.
“We’re a little frustrated, but it’s a
road we’ve been down before,” Odom
said. “We can’t lose our minds and get
out of control. We have to remember
where we are in this process.”
Yes, another luxury of back-to-back
titles is the freedom to write off one
bad loss on a run that requires 16 vic-
tories.
“These things happen,” Lakers
coach Phil Jackson said. “It’s not the
end of the world. ... We probably had
a bad day, and they had a good day.”
The Lakers have echoed this
theme all season whenever they
failed to reach a short-term goal,
vowing they would get it together
when the games really count. They
won 57 regular-season games, the
same number as last season, yet lost
the majority of their major showcas-
es, including a Christmas Day game
against Miami and the home NBA

artificially fast times they can pro-
duce. (Boston has a net decline of
459 feet, though the course is domi-
nated by hills going up and down.)
“We had a stunning performance
and an immensely fast time here
today,” said Tom Grilk, the head of
the Boston Athletic Association, after
Mutai ran almost a full minute faster
than the sanctioned world record.
“We in Boston are well-pleased with
what has happened, and that’s good
unto itself. The definitions of others,
I will leave to them.”
IAAF officials did not immediate-
ly respond to emails from The
Associated Press seeking comment.
Although the organization’s rules
clearly disqualify the Boston course
from a world record, it does list
Cheruiyot’s time in last year’s race
among the best times of 2010. Joan
Benoit’s 2:22:53 was considered a
women’s record in 1983, though that
was before the IAAF refined its
rules.
“We have
to change

finals rematch with Boston.
Pau Gasol and Bryant both passed
on the chance to rehash Game 1 with
the media Monday, although Jackson
said Bryant felt no lingering effects
from his neck-first tumble into the
front row shortly before halftime.
The Lakers are probably aware that
roughly 78 percent of all NBA teams
that lose their playoff opener go on to
lose the series. None of the Lakers’
previous 16 championships came
after losing a postseason opener, and
the club opened each of its five cham-
pionship runs under Jackson with a
win in the first playoff game.
Yet amid all the highfaluting dissec-
tions of their motivation, the Lakers
also revealed some fundamental flaws
Mutai will receive a $50,000
bonus for the world best and another
$25,000 for the course record to go
with the $150,000 he and women’s
winner Caroline Kilel earned for the
win. “This gentleman did both
things, and we are honored to have
played a part in his doing it,” Grilk
said.
Kilel won the women’s race to
complete the Kenyan sweep, out-
sprinting American Desiree Davila to
win by two seconds in 2:22:36.
Davila led as late as the final stretch
on Boylston Street and ran the fastest
time ever for a U.S. woman, five sec-
onds faster than Benoit, who is now
known as Joan Samuelson.
The American ran with Kenyans
Kilel and Sharon Cherop through
Chestnut Hill and briefly broke out
of her rhythm to wave as the crowd
began chanting, “U-S-A!” The
three swapped leads down Beacon
Street in Brookline, and Davila led
even on the final stretch before
in their defensive rotation and com-
munication while Paul shredded
them. Jackson kept the Lakers in film
study for more than two hours before
Monday’s practice.
“We played the game, so we knew
how it was going to look on film,” said
center Andrew Bynum, who had
notably little success discouraging
Paul’s drives to the hoop. “It was just
a terrible effort on defense from
everybody, the whole team.”
New Orleans coach Monty
Williams went back to work after his
dynamite playoff debut hoping to
emphasize the same advantages his
Hornets exploited so well in Game 1.
After watching the Hornets’ three-
turnover performance with surprising-
ly strong bench contributions in Game
1, Williams hopes almost nothing
changes.
“We wanted to take advantage of
our speed,” Williams said after the
Hornets’ workout at USC’s downtown
practice court. “We also have to get
stops. You’re talking about one of the
better offensive teams in the league.
Trying to get those guys to miss is a
monumental task. Even when they

Kilel outkicked her.
“It was the most excitement I’ve
had in a race ever and just really car-
ried me the last six miles,” Davila
said. “I felt that energy, and I felt
comfortable at the front and pushing
the pace because of that. It really just
carried me through to the finish line.”
Masazumi Soejima and Wakako
Tsuchida gave Japan a sweep of the
men’s and women’s wheelchair divi-
sions. It was the fifth straight win for
Tsuchida and the second overall for
Soejima.
Kara Goucher ran a personal best
2:24:52 to add a fifth-place finish to
her third in 2009. No American —
man or woman — has won Boston
since Lisa Larsen-Weidenbach in
1985.
“We’re knocking on the door,”
Hall said. “I mean 2:08 last year and
2:04 this year ... It’s going to come;
it’s just a matter of time.”
make a shot, you can’t live in that
moment. You’ve got to get the ball out
of bounds quickly, get it to your guard
and push it. We want to force tempo.”
Paul wasn’t basking in the glow of
his 33-point, 14-assist performance in
Game 1. He deflected credit for the
win onto New Orleans’ big men, the
coaching staff and just about anybody
except the guard who reminded
everybody why they shouldn’t be
fooled by the Hornets’ stumbling fin-
ish to the regular season or the
absence of leading scorer David West.
“I’ve been saying all along, just get
us to the playoffs,” said Paul, who
averaged a career-low 15.8 points per
game during the regular season. “Just
get us to the playoffs, and we’ve got a
chance. I just tried to have a different
intensity yesterday, and hopefully the
guys fed off of it.”
Paul’s energy even spread to the
Hornets’ bench, frequently a liability
during the regular season. New
Orleans’ reserves outscored the
Lakers’ bench 39-21, adding another
dimension to an all-around superb
effort by a team with none of the
Lakers’ complacency issues.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
Odd work schedules pose risk to health
By Randolph E. Schmid
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Reports of sleeping air
traffic controllers highlight a long-known and
often ignored hazard: Workers on night shifts
can have trouble concentrating and even stay-
ing awake.
“Government officials haven’t recognized
that people routinely fall asleep at night when
they’re doing shift work,” said Dr. Charles
Czeisler, chief of sleep medicine at Brigham
and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
Czeisler said studies show that 30 percent to
50 percent of night-shift workers report falling
asleep at least once a week while on the job.
So the notion that this has happened only a
few times among the thousands of controllers
“is preposterous,” he said in a telephone inter-
view.
In a sign of growing awareness of the prob-
lem, the Federal Aviation Administration said
Saturday it was changing air traffic con-
trollers’ work schedules most likely to cause
fatigue. The announcement comes after the
agency disclosed another incident in which a
controller fell asleep while on duty early
Saturday morning at a busy Miami regional
facility. According to a preliminary review,
there was no impact to flight operations, the
FAA said.
Czeisler said the potential danger isn’t lim-
ited to air traffic controllers, but can apply to
truck and bus drivers, airline pilots and those
in the maritime industry. Who else? Factory
workers, police, firefighters, emergency work-
ers, nurses and doctors, cooks, hotel employ-
ees, people in the media and others on night or
changing shifts.
“We live in a very sleep-deprived society
where many people are burning the candle at
both ends,” Czeisler said. He said that a half-
century ago, just 2 percent of people slept six
hours or less per night; today it’s 28 percent.
Dr. William Fishbein, a neuroscientist at the
City University of New York, said that when
people work odd shifts “it mucks up their bio-
logical rhythms.”
Hormones are synchronized with the wake-
sleep cycle. When people change shifts, the
brain never knows when it’s supposed to be
asleep, so this affects how people function.
People who change shifts every few days
are going to have all kinds of problems relat-
ed to memory and learning, Fishbein said.
This kind of schedule especially affects what
he called relational memories, which involve
the ability to understand how one thing is
related to another.
In addition to drowsiness and inability to
concentrate, people working night shifts are

more subject to chronic intestinal and heart
diseases and have been shown to have a high-
er incidence of some forms of cancer. The
World Health Organization has classified shift
work as a probable carcinogen.
“We have 500 cable channels, we take work
home with us on our Blackberrys and comput-
ers, both work and entertainment options are
available 24 hours a day seven days a week
and there is much more and brighter light
exposure in our homes in evenings, which
affects hormones involved in sleep, Czeisler
said.
“And we are still trying to get up with the
chickens because our work hours are starting
earlier and earlier,” he said.
Today, controllers are at the center of the
firestorm, with recent reports that several
planes couldn’t contact airport towers for
assistance in landing. Members of Congress
are responding to a worried public, controllers
have been suspended and the head of the gov-
ernment’s air traffic control system has
resigned.
President Barack Obama told ABC News REUTERS
that controllers must stay alert and do their U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood pauses while he speaks at the opening of a

shifts. This pattern, sleep scientists say, inter-
rupts the body’s natural sleep cycles.
Many of the Federal Aviation
Administration’s 15,700 controllers work
schedules that allow no realistic opportunity
for rest. Their record for errors on the job has
grown sharply over the past several years.
FAA rules prohibit sleeping on the job, even
during breaks. Employees who violate them
can be fired. But controllers told the
Associated Press that napping at night where
one controller works two jobs while the other
sleeps, and then they swap, is an open secret
within the agency.

OPTIONS
Continued from page 1
Nearly all options before the council last
night exceed the target, although Grassilli
said all plans but his will carry JPA termina-
tion costs.
If the city does dissolve the department and
choose a different provider, it follows in the
footsteps of the police department, human
resources payroll and parks maintenance — all
of which have already been outsourced in hopes
of stemming a decade of cuts and plugging a
$3.5 million deficit.
Grassilli, whose failed request to Belmont for
tweaking the JPA funding formula set off the
dissolution plan last fall, estimates possible sav-
ings for Belmont and San Carlos at $1.036 mil-
lion total through a combination of labor cutting
compensation by at least 10 percent, Fire Chief
Doug Fry not retiring during the extended part-
nership time, each city contributed a fixed per-
centage of funds and no major equipment pur-
chases are made.
Although his proposal is $250,000 less than
the million-dollar target for San Carlos,
Grassilli called it “a premium for the service we
have.”
Grassilli conceded he has not yet discussed
the proposal with Frye — or Belmont officials
— and Councilman Randy Royce questioned
some of his savings assumptions, such as limits
on sick time and capital needs.
Royce called skipping on equipment and
maintenance “no way to do business.” He
would prefer finding savings in the use of over-
time.
“I think we’re avoiding the real facts here ... I
think this is short-sightedness thinking because

Philadelphia who expects an $86 federal
refund, said he’d be hard-pressed to squeeze
anything more out of his already modest
income.
“The deficit right now is so far off my
radar,” said Kleinberg, waiting to mail his
return at Philadelphia’s main post office.
“Taking more money to pay some abstract
deficit would be hard to justify right now.”
But 60-year-old Martin Rich, at the post
office in Hartford, Conn., said he wouldn’t

it basically gets us through a year or two,”
Royce said.
Grassilli called the plan “a bridge” to carry
the city until it may join a regional fire depart-
ment sometime in the future.
In contrast, Wackenhut, of Florida, offers a
10-year agreement with multiple service
options ranging from the status quo of three
firefighters per station for a little more than $4
million annually the first year up to $4.6 million
a year initially for a deluxe alternative with four
firefighters, SUVs and ladder trucks. The base-
line proposal would see costs drop to $3.8 mil-
lion in the second year because it wouldn’t
include startup costs and then ramp up to $4.6
million by year 10. The more extensive option
would increase costs to $5.4 million in the 10th
and final year of the contract.
Firefighters would work in two 72-hour
shifts, with each including seven or nine per-
sonnel, similar to Cal Fire.
Wackenhut will hire BSCFD employees as
long as they meet criteria and certification
established by the city and company, according
to its report.
The company also is willing to discuss provi-
sion of hazmat services and establishment of a
reserve firefighter program.
Wackenhut President Paul Donahue said the
company is not looking to battle existing fire-
fighters for jobs; instead, the enemy and ele-
phant in the room is debt, he said.
“Privatization with the right controls is a pru-
dent choice,” he said.
Cost savings come in part because of less
bureaucracy and a competitive private market,
he said.
Grassilli wanted more information on labor
costs and if the savings were also due to high
turnover and few raises. He also questioned
how the private company would work with
mind paying a little bit more.
“We’ve got to do something,” said Rich, a
facilities management consultant from Avon,
Conn. “We’ve all been in the same condition
where we owe credit cards. You can default as
an individual, but as a country it would be
unconscionable, as far as I’m concerned.”
Officials have said the U.S. will reach its
borrowing limit no later than May 16, risking
an unprecedented default. The government is
likely to run a record $1.5 trillion deficit this
year, and lawmakers are negotiating an
increase in the nation’s $14.3 trillion debt
ceiling.
Also Monday, Standard & Poor’s Ratings
Service lowered its long-term outlook on the
country’s debt, saying the U.S. could lose the
top investment rating in the next two years.
other jurisdictions in dropped boundary situa-
tions.
The proposal gives the city a dedicated
department that wants to be part of the commu-
nity, seeks accreditation and offers performance
bonuses to the city if goals are not met, said
Chief Rick Tye.
Ed Hawkins, president of Firefighter union
Local 2400, has called the proposal a bad
choice for San Carlos and potentially a violation
of laws that do not give general law cities the
right to contract out to private companies.
Some residents told the City Council they
don’t trust a private company like Wackenhut to
handle fire responsibility.
“We think Wackenhut is a bad fit for the city,”
said Ben Fuller of the Greater East San Carlos
group, adding his desire for a “community ele-
ment” in the decision.
Pat Bell, a long-time opponent of outsourc-
ing, called Wackenhut personnel unqualified.
“I don’t want a bunch of rookies ... done it,
didn’t work out so well,” she said.
If San Carlos wants its own stand-alone
department, costs begin at $6.2 million annual-
ly followed by $5.37 million in on-going
expenses. The plan includes salary and benefit
reductions in line with other city employees, the
use of a 28-day work period and does not let
sleep time count toward overtime, said Assistant
City Manager Brian Moura.
Councilman Andy Klein wondered if reform-
ing employee benefits under the stand alone and
Redwood City service options would treat the
department like a “farm team” of second-class
firefighters.
Moura said that benefit level is a considera-
tion but reminded the council that raising those
in turn lowers potential savings.
On a scale of one to 10, Moura said city
staff’s confidence is “a seven” on whether they
can get a department in place by October.
In an AP-GfK poll released last week, 29
percent of respondents said the government
should hike taxes to eat away at huge federal
deficits. About 62 percent said they favor cut-
ting government services instead.
Asked Monday whether she personally
would be willing to pay higher taxes to reduce
the red ink, 75-year-old Odell Martin said she
can’t afford to on her fixed income.
“I’m living paycheck to paycheck,” said
Martin, a retired teacher’s aide in Hartford
who noted that she owes on her taxes this
year. “I just can’t see where I would get more
tax money from.”
The Rev. James Meador Jr., 63, a retired
truck driver and a Baptist preacher from
Kansas City, Mo., said he was not willing to
pay more. This year, he said he owed about
THE DAILY JOURNAL
If the city opts for a hybrid model with
Redwood City — sharing management and
administration — the cost would range from
$1.27 million to $1.51 million for up to a five-
year contract. The cost to add aerial truck serv-
ice would range from $262,000 to $500,000
unless San Carlos provides its own with a quint,
a smaller fire vehicle.
The option is an extension of previous shared
services and a natural progression, said
Redwood City Fire Chief Jim Skinner.
If instead the city opts for having Redwood
City provide all its service, a number of existing
BSCFD firefighters are anticipated to be hired
laterally for a three-platoon, 56-hour work week
out of the two existing San Carlos stations plus
aerial truck service out of Fire Station 9 in
Redwood City. The three-year, $5.9 million bid
does not include upgrades or repairs to San
Carlos stations, replacement of fire apparatus,
emergency preparedness or a hazmat unit.
Redwood City’s budget constraints make tak-
ing on hazmat unfeasible, Skinner said.
“The bottom line is we just don’t have the
capacity,” he said.
The Redwood City Council hasn’t discussed
yet how many BSCFD firefighters might be
hired under either plan, said Redwood City
Manager Bob Bell.
No decisions were made last night; the City
Council has tentatively scheduled April 25 to
hear from fire consultants TriData and choose
its path for fire service. That meeting also
comes three days after San Carlos Mayor Omar
Ahmad and Belmont Councilwoman Christine
Wozniak are scheduled for mediation with a
retired judge hired by the county to see if there
is any hope of maintaining the two cities’ joint
powers authority and fire department.
Ahmad said he will keep Grassilli’s points in
mind during that sit-down.

the state.
“If I was Donald Trump I wouldn’t care. If
I was George Bush or all of them down in
Texas who own oil I wouldn’t care, because
they’ve got plenty of money,” Meador said at
the city’s post office at Union Station. “I could
have used that $1,000 to pay real estate tax or
something.”
At the Civic Center post office in San
Francisco, Bob Huynh said everyone should
chip in to reduce the deficit.
“It’s just like a household budget; you need
extra income to pay down your debt,” said
Huynh, 37, who works in corporate human
resources. “Both parties are at fault for not
recognizing they need to do both, raise taxes
and cut spending.”
THE DAILY JOURNAL
AIDS prevention pill study halted; no benefit seen
By Marilynn Marchione
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Researchers are stopping a study that
tests a daily pill to prevent infection with
the AIDS virus in thousands of African
women because partial results show no
signs that the drug is doing any good.
Women taking Truvada, made by Gilead
Sciences Inc., are just as likely to get HIV
as other women who have been given
dummy pills, an interim analysis of the
study found. Even if the study were to con-
tinue, it would not be able to determine
whether the pills help prevent infection,
since the results are even this far along,
researchers said.
The finding is disappointing because
another study last fall concluded that
Truvada did help prevent infections in gay
and bisexual men when given with con-
doms, counseling and other prevention
services. Many AIDS experts view that as a
breakthrough that might help slow the epi-
demic.
Family Health International, a nonprofit
involved in AIDS research, announced the
new results on Monday. The group launched
the study two years ago and had enrolled
about half of the 3,900 women intended in
Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa. As of
last week, 56 new HIV infections had
occurred, half in each group.
No safety problems were seen with
Truvada. However, women taking it were
more likely to become pregnant than those
on dummy pills.
“That’s both a surprising finding and one
that we can’t readily explain” by what is
known so far about Truvada’s effects on
HEALTH

women using hormonal contraceptives, said
Dr. Timothy Mastro of Family Health
International. The study was sponsored by
the U.S. Agency for International
Development and the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation. Gilead provided the drugs for
the study.
Truvada already is sold for treating HIV.
It’s a combination of two drugs, tenofovir
and emtricitabine, or FTC, made by
California-based Gilead Sciences Inc.
Using it or its components for prevention
is still “very promising,” Mastro said,
although benefits and risks may vary by
gender and by the way the virus is spread —
sex between men and women or riskier anal
sex among men, for example.
Last year, a study in South Africa found
that a vaginal gel spiked with tenofovir cut
in half a woman’s chances of getting HIV
from an infected partner. Protection was
greater for those who used it most faithful-
ly.
A similar effect was seen in the study of
Tuesday • April 19, 2011 19
Truvada in gay men. The drug lowered the
chances of infection by 44 percent, and by
73 percent or more among men who took
their pills most faithfully. The U.S. Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention recently
gave advice to doctors on prescribing
Truvada along with other prevention servic-
es for gay men, based on those encouraging
results.
In the new study, “it’s difficult to under-
stand why they did not see protection,” but
blood samples may tell more about whether
it’s related to how faithfully women took
the pills, said Dr. Robert M. Grant of the
Gladstone Institutes, a private foundation
affiliated with the University of California,
San Francisco.
He led the study of Truvada in gay men
and said, “we are very confident that this
approach is useful“ for them.
The new study’s result “must be seen as
what it is — the closure of a single trial in a
field that has generated exciting results in
the recent past,” said Mitchell Warren, head
of the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, a
nonprofit group that works on HIV preven-
tion research.
Two other large studies testing AIDS
drugs for prevention are under way in
Africa, in heterosexual women and in cou-
ples where one has the virus and the other
does not. Results are expected within two
years. The studies have mostly been in
countries with high rates of new infections
because that makes it easier to see whether
a prevention measure is having an impact.
Truvada costs $5,000 to $14,000 a year in
the United States, but as little as $140 a
year in some poor countries where it’s
available in generic form.

right-of-way, Simitian said.
For a full build-out of the system, the
rail authority has proposed expanding
the Caltrain corridor to a four-track sys-
tem and mostly on an elevated viaduct,
according to alternatives released by the
rail authority last year. It has also pro-
posed to construct the system in a
phased approach with the mandate that
Caltrain stays operational during con-
struction.
A four-track system, however, is
duplicative and unnecessary, Simitian
said.
Early plans call for high-speed rail
trains to have two dedicated tracks on
the system with Caltrain and freight
trains using the other two tracks.
The proposal offered up by the three
lawmakers yesterday may fit into high-
speed rail’s plans, said Jeff Barker,
deputy director of the California High-
Speed Rail Authority.
“As part of a larger phased-in
approach, we are studying a number of
ways to get high-speed rail service up
and running to San Francisco as soon as
possible, keeping in mind the needs of
the overall statewide system, and what
the Senator and others are proposing
may fit within that larger build-out.
Every option we look at will be studied
in concert with Caltrain and will adhere
to California and federal environmental
law, as well as to the system described
by voters in Proposition 1A,” Barker
said in a prepared statement.
Voters created the funding for high-
speed rail by passing the $9.95 billion
bond measure in November 2008 to link
San Francisco with Los Angeles.
Since the $40 billion statewide project

Fire Chief Don Dornell.
Councilwoman Cathy Baylock
opposed moving forward, calling the
possible end result of closing two sta-
tions a radical step that would have
unintentional consequences.
“I can’t support closing two stations
for the money we would save,” she said,
adding other alternatives should be
researched.
Others were more open to test the
waters to see if such a partnership
would work.
“There are plenty of things that every
city can’t have. This to me, makes a
great deal of sense. Especially since
fire, unlike police, has a lot of capital
equipment that goes along with it,” said
Councilman Michael Brownrigg.
Generally the council was supportive
of the move but also expressed con-
cerns and gave numerous questions to
be considered.
“If we can save some money, that’s a
good start. ... We don’t have the revenue
we used to have,” said Vice Mayor Jerry
Deal.
Deal applauded the savings but said
the city needs to first work closely with
the union before investing too much
time and also needs to consider other
budget options.
Burlingame and Hillsborough

are only three known survivors left of
that devastating quake, and only one of
has started in the Central Valley, howev-
er, an EIR has been pushed back indefi-
nitely for the Peninsula section of the
line.
When the EIR is released, it should
not have an aerial viaduct option for the
San Francisco-to-San Jose section, the
three lawmakers said.
“Each community on the Peninsula is
unique with its own history. High-speed
rail has alienated these communities and
has squandered the goodwill on the
Peninsula,” Eshoo said.
Three Peninsula cities, Palo Alto,
Menlo Park and Atherton, have already
sued the rail authority and officials in
Belmont and Burlingame have come out
in opposition to an aerial viaduct. San
Mateo officials have also expressed con-
cern about an aerial viaduct since
Caltrain’s right-of-way is so narrow in
downtown.
The authority has time to rethink its
strategy for the Peninsula since it will be
decades before the region has a true
high-speed rail system, Gordon said.
In the end, the high-speed rail system
should work seamlessly with local tran-
sit systems, Gordon said.
High-speed trains can still run up and
down the Peninsula on a two-track sys-
tem, Gordon said.
“Within the existing right-of-way, at
or below grade, a single blended system
could allow high-speed rail arriving in
San Jose to continue north in a seamless
fashion as part of a 21st century
Caltrain,” according to the joint state-
ment.
It can be achieved by using some com-
bination of electrification, positive train
control and new rolling stock while
maintaining the currently projected
speeds and travel time for high-speed
rail, according to the joint statement.
Much of the projected cost for the San
Jose-to-San Francisco leg of the project
expanding the shared services to
include Millbrae and San Bruno began
in 2007. Under the proposal, stations on
Hillside Drive in Burlingame and
Crestview Drive in Millbrae would be
closed. A new station would then be
placed somewhere within the three-
mile difference between the two sta-
tions, Dennis Haag, fire chief for
Millbrae and San Bruno, wrote in staff
reports. A temporary station could be
set up quickly to pilot the program, said
Dornell. Such a pilot program would
probably be in place for about a year to
show that needs would be met, said
City Manager Jim Nantell.
Dornell explained staff studied calls
for service from the two stations going
back eight years before recommending
this plan. Using the new estimated sta-
tion location, Dornell found all calls
could be responded to within the 6
minute 59 seconds goal.
Mayor Terry Nagel was clear: not
meeting the standards would kill a con-
solidation deal in her mind.
Councilwoman Cathy Baylock was
curious what would happen if
Millbrae’s fire tax was not renewed.
Millbrae voters passed a five-year, $144
annual fire assessment to generate
$1.19 million yearly. Without it,
Baylock questioned what would hap-
pen. Contract language to deal with
such a situation would be handled up
front through implementation conversa-
tions, said Nantell.
Councilwoman Ann Keighran wanted
to know the cost of selling the current
Burlingame station and building a new
station should that become a reality. An
estimate of $8 million has been used,
Nantell said, but the actual costs would
be researched.
Keighran also requested other options

is driven by the fact that the rail authori-
ty has, to date, proposed what is essen-
tially a second rail system for the
Peninsula and South Bay, unnecessarily
duplicating existing usable infrastruc-
ture, according to the joint statement.
Although, the three lawmakers believe
such a system could be built, the cost for
duplication is not justified.
“There is no need to do it twice,”
Simitian said.
Meanwhile, Caltrain is preparing to
conduct a series of feasibility studies to
determine whether the electrification
and modernization of its system can be
designed and constructed to meet its
future operational needs, while also
accommodating initial high-speed rail
operations.
The analysis marks the first time the
agency has undertaken an independent
assessment of its infrastructure needs in
a way that focuses on the additional ele-
ments needed to operate an initial level
of high-speed rail service in the future,
according to a statement released by
Caltrain yesterday.
Currently, Caltrain is grade separating
the tracks in San Bruno, near downtown,
that will be able to accommodate an
eventual four-track system. The tracks
currently run at-grade in San Bruno and
will be eventually elevated when con-
struction is complete.
But a high-speed rail system could run
at grade if it uses elevated cantilevers to
store the electricity, Gordon said.
The system could also run below-
grade, the three lawmakers said, but
should not run on an elevated viaduct.
“If it isn’t done right, it won’t get
done,” Simitian said.

like Cal Fire or private companies be
considered before a final vote.
Under the consolidation, the four-city
department would have a $25.1 million
annual budget with Central County Fire
cities covering 50 percent, San Bruno
contributing 30 percent and Millbrae
putting in 20 percent. Such an arrange-
ment would save an estimated $546,000
for Burlingame, $375,000 for Millbrae,
$364,000 for Hillsborough and
$230,000 for San Bruno. These savings
assume salary and benefits would be
paid at the level offered by Central
County, Haag wrote. Most of the sav-
ings come from the closure.
The governance model currently used
by Central County would be extended.
Each city council would provide two
elected officials to serve as members of
the fire board and city managers would
rotate responsibilities of department
oversight every two years.
Burlingame could have further sav-
ings — about $2.05 million in ongoing
savings — through keeping Station 36,
located at 1399 Rollins Road, closed.
It’s been closed many days within the
last year due to budget restraints, the
station was closed except on days when
the department wasn’t missing employ-
ees due to workers’ compensation,
vacation or illness. Most of those sav-
ings would come from maintaining this
practice.
The county has two other merged
departments. The Belmont-San Carlos
Fire Department formed in 1979 but is
set to dissolve in October. Pacifica,
Daly City and Brisbane later formed
North County Fire Authority.

and organizers collected American Red
Cross donations for the relief effort.
Historians say Japan stepped forward
in 1906 to help San Francisco’s victims
and gave $250,000 — the most of any
other country — toward the city’s recov-
ery.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
EDWARD J. PARKER
Case Number 120250
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Edward J. Parker. A Pe-
tition for Probate has been filed by: Max-
ine Smith-Parker in the Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition of Probate requests that Maxine
Smith-Parker be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: May 18, 2011 at
9:00 a.m., Dept: 28, Courtroom 2F, Su-
perior Court of California, County of San
Mateo, 400 County Center Drive, Red-
wood City, CA 94063. If you object to
the granting of the petition, you should
appear at the hearing and state your ob-
jections or file written objections with the
court before the hearing. Your appear-
ance may be in person or by your attor-
ney. If you are a creditor or a contingent
creditor of the decedent, you must file
your claim with the court and mail a copy
to the personal representative appointed
by the court within four months from the
date of first issuance of letters as provid-
ed in Probate Code section 9100. The
time for filing claims will not expire before
four months from the hearing date no-
ticed above. You may examine the file
kept by the court. If you are a person in-
terested in the estate, you may file with
the court a Request for Special Notice
(form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory
and appraisal of estate assets or of any
petition or account as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 1250. A Request for
Special Notice form is available from the
court clerk.
