In the future, a new zoning dis-trict limiting businesses thatdont significantly contribute eco-nomically could protect land atSan Carlos gateway for a much-desired hotel.

But in the present, the proposed

change has left city officialswrestling with personal propertyrights versus revenue wishes,businesses arguing that they

should not be handicapped by ahotel pipe dream and at least onecouncilman admitting a planningcommissioners vote led to himnot being reappointed.

The City Council on Mondaynight will have the final say onthe recommendation for a newzoning district called landmarkcommercial along the Highway

101 gateway. Although the newrules would govern all propertiesin the district, the impetus is pre-venting the construction of a

45,000-square-foot fitness centerwith 300 parking spaces whichcurrently does not require greatercity scrutiny and would be locatedon so-called landmark parcels des-ignated for a hotel.

Both city staff and theEconomic Development AdvisoryCommission recommend theamendment that would specify

San Mateo officials are hopeful

the citys new virtual town hallwill help guide the future of down-town from parking and events towalkability and more.

The city is partnering with theDowntown San Mateo Associa tionso residents can share their ideason what they want to see in thearea, said Rebecca Zito, whoworks in the city managers office.

We want to get more communi-ty input, Zito said. We want toencourage dialogue and are seek-ing some creative ideas. We alsowant it to be fun.

The Parks and RecreationDepartment created the website afew months ago to get input onplayground renovations and syn-

thetic turf fields.Enough residents interacted onthe sanmateotownhall.org sitethat city staff saw an opportunity

to bring the focus to downtown.The new campaign officially

kicks off June 10 but there arealready a couple of questions relat-

ed to parking in downtown onwhich city officials are seekinganswers.

The input will be used by theeconomic development managerand other city officials for generalmarketing purposes, Zito said.

From time to time, the cityplans to bring forward differentprojects or topics for discussionon the town hall site. The site willnot take the place of traditionalcommunity meetings and publichearings, but will allow residentsand those who work in and visitdowntown to provide additionalfeedback outside the traditionalforums.

This should help people to not

be intimidated by the publicprocess. It makes it more egalitar-

Erin Brockovich arrestedwhile boating in Nevada

Environmental activist ErinBrockovich, portrayed by JuliaRoberts in a 2000 movie about herfight over the pollution of a Californiatown, has been arrested on suspicionof boating while intoxicated at LakeMead near Las Vegas, authorities saidSunday.

Brockovich was arrested late Fridaynight after breath tests showed herblood-alcohol level was just overtwice the legal limit of .08, said EdwinLyngar, spokesman for the NevadaDepartment of Wildlife.

A game warden noticed she wasstruggling and needed assistance whiletrying to moor her motor boat at theLas Vegas Boat Harbor, he said.Brockovich had been out on the boatwith a male companion but was alonewhen she tried to dock it.

She was not sure how to maneuverthe boat into the dock, Lyngar toldThe Associated Press. Its a simplething if you can think clearly. But ifyou add alcohol and unfamiliarity ofthe area, it can all cause serious prob-lems.

Brockovich, 52, of Agoura Hills,

Calif., was released from the ClarkCounty Detention Center after posting$1,000 bail.

She didnt immediately respond to arequest for comment Sunday, and it wasuncertain whether she has an attorney.

Under Nevada law, a first-timeoffense of boating while intoxicatedis a misdemeanor that draws fines from$1,000 to $2,000 but no jail time.Authorities were unsure whether it wasBrockovichs first arrest on thecharge.

Lyngar said the case focuses atten-tion on a major problem as up to halfof all fatal boat accidents are alcohol-related.

Too many people think drinkingand boating go togeth er, he said. Wedont have a problem if people drink.Just have a designated operator.

Brockovichs efforts to sue PacificGas & Electric for polluting the watersupply of a small Southern Californiatown were adapted into a big-screenstory, Erin Brockovich, starringRoberts in the Oscar-winning title-role.

Last year, Brockovich was back onthe big screen in the documentaryLast Call at the Oasis, whichexplores challenges related to theplanets dwindling and increasinglypolluted water supply.

When the Spanish migrated toCalifornia, they brought withthem cattle that would ensure food

for the immigrants. These cattle propagatedso fast the Spanish not only ate the meat ofthe cows but sold their hide and tallow theyproduced to ship captains (although this wasillegal for a long time).

Ranchos with thousands of cattle generateda prosperity they could have never haveachieved in Mexico. These cattle ran wild(there was no barbwire available at the time).The Spanish developed their communitiesbased on the cattle and, until other immi-grants migrated to California, the Ranchoscould run this type of society in a very laid-

back manner. A handshake was their bondand the hide and tallow trade worked outwell.

When California became a state, the situa-tion of ownership and industry changed dra-matically. All except the cattle industry.People still needed food to live on and hidesto make their boots. However, the hand-shake society and trustworthy people waschanged to the opportunists of the world andthe Spanish soon lost their land to busi-nessmen like Miller and Lux. The cattleindustry, now in the hands of businessmen,

prospered beyond expectation and marketsexpanded when railroads shaped the land.

These cattle would now be rounded up andgotten to the market in San Francisco byboats and cattle drives up El Camino Real.South City became the destination wheremany meat packers built and processed cat-tle for market. San Franciscans demandedfresh meat and many meat shops opened and

processed the meat to meet the demand.Unfortunately, the odor that this producedbecame unbearable. Soon the city demandedthese small butchers move south of the townto process the meat and a conglomeration ofarea became named Butcher town.

The culture of cattle continued, although itwas not as big and important as it was formany years. Over the years, the rodeo persist-ed in annual gatherings of county fairs andlocal celebrations and livestock was big busi-ness, but on the Peninsula in the 1930s therewas no appropriate building in which to ade-

quately display the showcase of the industry,The Grand National Livestock ExpositionHorse Show. The idea for a grand displaybuilding originated during the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition where an exhibition onlivestock was a major draw. The VisitationValley site was chosen in the early 30s inpreference over the residential character of theoriginal Marina site and, after matching the

$25,000 funds from the state, the cornerstonefor the Cow Palace was laid Aug. 18, 1935.

While people are going starving, thecounty is going to build a palace for cows.How foolish! so went the thoughts of manyduring the Great Depression of the 30s. Thistranslated into the name that #1A DistrictAgriculture Association came up with while itraised the funds for the Cow Palace. The pur-pose of the mammoth building to be built on25 acres in Visitation Valley was to simulatethe growth of the California cattle industry.

By the time it opened in 1941, seating for

12,000 spectators had been built, as well astwo horse barns that boasted 100,000 squarefeet of working area. A race track had beenplanned, but was never built. However, theCow Palace was the biggest exposition build-ing in the West, and only Madison SquareGarden in New York was equal to it. The first

event to be held in the new arena was theWestern-Classic Holstein Show in April1941. In November of that year, the firstGrand National Rodeo, featuring a tribute toWill Rogers, was held. After Pearl Harbor, thefederal government rented the structure for $1a year and, for the next five years, troopsembarked for the war zone from here. It wasalso used by the Ordnance Department and as amassive repair garage.

The state of California held title to the struc-ture, and it was not until 1949 that the stateLegislature opened the facility to public use.Prize fights, wrestling matches , top entertain-ers like Liberace, Frank Sinatra, MichaelJackson, Elvis Presley and Prince have sinceput on shows there. It is more a family enter-tainment center now with truck pulls and theSports and Boat Show launched in 1957.Dwight Eisenhower was nominated for presi-

dent at the Republican Convention in 1956,as well as Berry Goldwater in 1964.

Sadly, the cattle industry has moved out ofthe big cities and the Cow Palace had tochange ways of its use. The 13,000 seats ithas is too few to attract major basketball orhockey teams, but it is ideal for smallerevents.

Family Owned & OperatedEstablished: 1949

By Paul Larson

MILLBRAE Ourcountrys economicroller-coaster ridehas been interestingand historic forsure, but also verytroubling for many

families whove notbeen as financially stable as others.Recently though Ive been observing aphenomenon with those we serve at theCHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS. It maybe too early to confirm, but it appears thatthere is a general state of confidence withmany families, along with the decisions andchoices they make during funeralarrangements. Yes, I know you are thinkingthat confidence is not a term you woulduse to coincide with funeral arrangements,but it appears to me that people I see aretending to be more financially assured thanduring the deepest years of The GreatRecession.

They say that the two things you cantavoid are death and taxes. With that inmind, during the economic downturn I saw avery noticeable sense of thrift andprudence with a lot of families whoexperienced a death during that period.Still, those who tended to cost shop atvarious funeral homes selected CHAPELOF THE HIGHLANDS to handle funeral orcremation arrangements. These familiesfound comfort with our service, and notablywith our more economic cost structure.

Now, lately the trend with families andtheir funeral choices reminds me of the daysway before the recession hit. Its not thatpeople are utilizing their funds differently,spending more or spending less, but thatthey are more assertive and confident when

using their wallet. Seeing this over and overgives me a good indication that something inthe economic climate is changing comparedto not that long ago.

Even though many of our honorableelected officials in Sacramento andWashington D.C. appear to be as inflexiblewith economic issues as always, the air ofconfidence with the families Ive beendealing 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 whenthose employees are confident they willspend their money on goods and services.In turn, the companies that provide goodsand services will need competent employeesto create more goods, give more services,and so onmaking a positive circle for ahealthy economy. In relation to that, after along period of U.S. manufacturing jobsbeing sent over-seas there is news of agrowing number of companies bringing thiswork back to the United States. Real Estatevalues on the Peninsula remained in a goodstate during the recession, but houses hereare now in demand more than ever.

Encouraging Hopeful and Positiveare words to describe the optimistic

vibrations that people are giving off. If thecommunity is becoming more comfortablewith spending, that indicates good health forbusiness and the enrichment of oureconomic atmosphere. I hope Im right, solets all keep our fingers crossed.

If you ever wish to discuss cremation,funeral matters or want to make pre-planning arrangements please feel free tocall me and my staff at the CHAPEL OFTHE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)588-5116 and we will be happy to guide youin a fair and helpful manner.

Funeral Trends IndicateUpswing in the Economy

Its not about working hard for SamanthaDubon.

She simply sees herself doing what aver-

age teenagers would do in high school.There is one exception for the 17-year-oldfrom Redwood City who will be graduatingfrom Summit Preparatory High School thisyear shes the first in her family to go tocollege. Its a big accomplishment forDubon and her mother, who raised her as asingle mom. Dubon is quite happy to sharethat success with her mother, noting manydoubted the success of the pair.

Those at Summit never doubted Dubonssuccess.

Samantha is, far and away, the hardest-working student in the senior class. No mat-ter how hard things get for her, she nevergives up and never makes excuses. Shealways finds a way to do what needs to getdone, regardless of the circumstances.Samantha embodies grit like I have never

seen in another student, and I am confidentshe will be able to work through whateverhardships she will face in her life to achievegreat success, said Summit ExecutiveDirector Brian Johnson.

Dubon notes a change in attitude when sheenrolled at Summit.

Growing up as an only child, Dubon tookpart in multiple sports and dance. Sheenjoyed karate, dance, basketball and soc-cer. At Taft Elementary School, Dubonpointed to the support of her first gradeteacher as being invaluable. Dubon onlyspoke Spanish but he took the time afterschool to help her master English and learnto read.

In fifth grade, Dubon transferred from Taftto Northstar Academy. It was at Northstarthat Dubon took a life science class kick

starting her interest in science. Dubon said

her teachers simply structured the class sowell that she gained a perspective of how itcould be used in life. Today, Dubon plans tomajor in biology. This class painted thedecisions Dubon made during high school.

She applied to Summit at the encourage-ment of her mother. At the time, Dubon did-nt know many people at Summit. Also, shewasnt sure graduating high school was inher future. She was a D student. But Summitchallenged her to get at least Cs and finishhomework while offering support. Giventhe opportunity for support, Dubon decidedto give doing the work a try. It paid off.After her first semester, she was an A stu-

dent.

From there, Dubon took opportunities toexplore her curiosity in science. During hersophomore year, Dubon spent five weeks asa leader in outdoor education. It was a chanceto explore outdoors, gain leadership oppor-tunities and learn a great life lesson time

management.Last year, Dubon took part in an organiza-tion called Global Glimpse, a nonprofit thatholds fundraisers throughout the year to getstudents familiar with their community.Then, during the summer before her senioryear, Dubon took part in a trip to Nicaraguawith the group that gave her the opportuni-ty to have an adventure but also serve thecommunity. For Dubon, it served anotherpurpose. She hopes to study abroad in col-lege. This was a bit of a test run for being ina new place. Also, since returning, Dubonsaid her mother noticed shes more inde-pendent.

That independence will come in handy forDubon as she studies biology at CaliforniaPolytechnic State University in San Luis

Obispo her first step toward become anoptometrist.

Summit Preparatory High Schools gradu-ation will be held 6 p.m. Friday, June 14 atCarrington Hall on the Sequoia High Schoolcampus, 1201 Brewster Ave., RedwoodCi ty. Tickets are required.

Great Grads is in its eighth year profilingone graduating senior from each of our localschools. Schools have the option to partic-ipate. Those that choose to participate areasked to nominate one student who deserves

recognition.

Goats used for fire preventionGoats are being used to help with fire pre-

vention in Redwood City as the fire seasonquickly approaches, city officials said.

A herd of about 300 goats have beenassigned to reduce the proliferation of weedsand help with fire prevention throughoutStulsaft Park, at 3737 Farm Hill Blvd., offi-cials said.

The area will be temporarily fenced as thegoats eat away at the weeds, star thistle, net-tles, poison oak and other invasive plants,city officials said. Goats will be eating forabout 10 to 14 days, according to the city.

The end result, according to city officials,will be a significant reduction in the dry,spindly plants that grow under trees andallow fire to quickly spread. The fences willhave a low-level electric charge and anyonegoing to the park are asked to not touch thefence. Signs will be posted.

SANTA MONICA A womanwho was critically wounded inlast weeks Santa Monica shoot-ing rampage died Sunday, bring-ing the total number of victims

killed by the gunman to five.Marcela Franco, 26, died of her

injuries at Ronald Reagan UCLAMedical Center, according toSanta Monica College spokes-woman Tricia Ramos.

Franco had been a passenger ina Ford Explorer driven by herfather, campus groundskeeperCarlos Navarro Franco, 68, whoalso was killed in Fridays attack.They were going to the school tobuy textbooks for classes theyoung woman was enrolled in forthe summer, president Chui L.

Tsang said in a statement postedon the colleges website.

Her family was with her by herside when she died, Tsang said.

Investigators trying to deter-mine why the gunman planned theshooting spree were focusing on adeadly act of domestic violence

that touched off the mayhem.The heavily armed mans attack

against his own family at theirhome led to the violence in SantaMonica streets, lasting just amatter of minutes until he wasshot to death in a chaotic scene atthe college library by police.

Investigators were looking atfamily connections to find amotive because the killers fatherand brother were the first victims,an official briefed on the probewho requested anonymity becausehe wasnt authorized to speak

publicly told the AssociatedPress.

The killer, who died a day shyof his 24th birthday, was con-nected to a home that went up inflames after the first shootings,said police Chief JacquelineSeabrooks.

Police were not naming theshooter or the two men found deadin the house because next of kinwas out of the country and hadntbeen notified. Neighbors and col-leagues of the boys mother saidshe was visiting family inLebanon.

SWAT team officers searchedthe mothers Los Angeles apart-ment and officers interviewedneighbors about the son wholived with her, said BeverlyMeadows who lives in the adjoin-ing unit.

OAKLAND Bay Area RapidTransits highest-paid employeelast year earned more than$330,000 even though she did-nt work a single day for the publicagency, according to a newspaperreport.

Former BART general managerDorothy Dugger resigned underpressure in May 2011, but stayedon the payroll for another 19months, the Bay Area News Group(http://bit.ly/102JORG ) reportedSunday.

Dugger, 57, cashed in nearly 80weeks of unused vacation time,

drawing paychecks and full bene-fits. During that period, she earnednearly two extra months of vaca-tion, received management bonus-es and medical insurance, andboosted her pension benefits bymore than $1,000 a month for life.When she left

BARTs payroll in December,she began to draw an annual pen-sion of $181,000, according tothe newspaper.

Dugger said she was entitled tothe money because she earnedmore than 3,100 hours of unusedvacation time during two decadeswith the light-rail agency.

It was time I earned my whole

career at BART, she said. Its acost of having the option to savethe vacation until the end of acareer, she said.

The value of her unused vacationdays soared after she took the top

job in 2007 and received a raise ofnearly $100,000 a year becausethe unused time-off was paid at herfinal, highest pay rate not herrate when the time was accrued,records show.

She was still on the payroll? Idid not know this. Its startling,said James Fang, a BART boardmember who tried to oust Duggerin 2011. We have to look atthis.

WASHINGTON The super-secret agency with the power andlegal authority to gather electroniccommunications worldwide tohunt U.S. adversaries says it has

the technical know-how to ensureits not illegally spying onAmericans.

But mistakes do happen in data-sifting conducted mostly bymachines, not humans.Sometimes, former intelligenceofficials say, that means intelli-gence agencies destroy materialthey should not have seen, passedto them by the Fort Meade, Md.-based National Security Agency.

The eavesdropping, code-break-ing agency is fighting back afterlast weeks revelations in themedia of two surveillance pro-grams that have raised privacyconcerns.

One program collects hundreds

of millions of U.S. phone records.

The second gathers audio, video,email, photographic and Internetsearch usage of foreign nationalsoverseas, and probably someAmericans in the process, who usemajor providers such asMicrosoft, Google, Apple,and Yahoo.

The programs werefirst reported in aseries of articles pub-lished by TheGuardian newspaper.On Sunday it identi-fied Edward Snowden, a29-year-old Americanwho works as contractemployee at the NationalSecurity Agency, as the source ofthe disclosures. The newspapersaid it was publishing the identityof Snowden, a former technicalassistant for the CIA and currentemployee of defense contractorBooz Allen Hamilton, at hisrequest.

I have no intention of hiding

who I am because I know I have

done nothing wrong, he was quot-ed as saying.

The National Security Agencyfiled a criminal report with theJustice Department earlier this

week in relation to the leaks.The director of national

intelligence, James

Clapper, has statedrepeatedly that theNSAs programsdo not target U.S.citizens and thatthe agency uses a

process known asminimization to

sift out data from anyU.S. persons whose com-

munications might be incidentallyintercepted.

His statement Saturday said thatthe dissemination of informationabout U.S. persons is expresslyprohibited unless it is necessary tounderstand foreign intelligence ...is evidence of a crime or indicates athreat of death or serious bodily

harm.

While the NSA has deferred anypublic comment to Clapper, it didoffer an internal article written bydirector of compliance JohnDeLong, who is in charge of mak-ing sure the NSA protectsAmericanspr ivacy.

DeLong writes that privacy pro-

tections are being written into thetechnology that sifts the informa-tion, which allows us to augment not wholly replace humansafeguards.

The NSA also uses technologyto record and review our activities.... Sometimes, where appropriate,we even embed legal and policyguidance directly into our IT archi-tecture.

What that means is that the datasifting is mostly done not byhumans, but by computers, follow-ing complicated algorithmstelling them what to look for andwho has a right to see it, accordingto Ronald Marks, a former CIAofficial.

Through software, you can

search for key words and keyphrases linking a communicationto a particular group or individualthat would fire it off to individualagencies that have interest in it,

just like Amazon or Google scansmillions of emails and purchasesto track consumer preferences,

explained Marks, author ofSpying in America in the Post9/11 World.

Detailed algorithms try to deter-mine whether something is U.S.citizen-related or not. It showsanalysts, weve got a U.S. citizenhere, so weve got to be carefulwith it,he said.

But the process isnt perfect, andsometimes what should be privateinformation reaches agencies notauthorized to see it.

In that case, there are policies inplace to destroy that kind ofinformation not file it or keep it ifan Americans name coincidental-ly or serendipitously comes up,John Negroponte, the first director

of national intelligence, said.

Zimmermans attorneywalks tight line in defense

SANFORD, Fla. George Zimmermanslead attorney will be walking a fine line ashe tries to convince jurors that his clientdidnt murder Trayvon Martin: He needs toshow why Zimmerman felt threatened by theAfrican-American teenager while avoidingthe appearance that either he or his client isracist.

Because there is no dispute thatZimmerman shot Martin, 17, during a fighton a rainy night in February 2012, Mark

OMara must convince the jury that

Zimmerman pulled his 9 mm handgun andfired a bullet into the Miami-area highschool students chest because he feared forhis life and that the fear was caused byMartins actions, not his race.

Jury selection begins Monday in the sec-ond-degree murder trial, which is expectedto last about six weeks. Martins killingdrew worldwide attention as it sparked anational debate about race, equal justiceunder the law and gun control. If convicted,Zimmerman, who identifies himself asHispanic, could get a life sentence.

Under Florida law, Zimmerman, 29, couldlawfully shoot Martin in self-defense if itwas necessary to prevent death or great bod-

ily harm.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Adecade ago, theSouthern Baptist Convention was ridinghigh.

The president of the United States was aconservative evangelical Christian whopersonally addressed the groups annualmeetings, either by satellite or video, atleast four times in two terms, and SBC lead-ers were feeling their influence at the high-est levels of government.

Ten years later, as members prepare fortheir 2013 annual meeting in Houston onTuesday, the nations largest Protestantdenomination finds itself in flux: It has lessinfluence in government and a growingdiversity that may be diminishing its roleas a partisan political player. And someSouthern Baptists are beginning to cry foulat what they see as discrimination by gays

and liberals that violates their re ligious lib-erty.

For 100 years the Southern Baptistshave been the dominating religious entityof the South, said David W. Key Sr., direc-tor of Baptist Studies at Emory UniversitysCandler School of Theology and a SouthernBaptist. Now they are starting to feel reli-gious victimhood. ... In many ways,Baptists introduced pluralism to America.Now they are feeling like victims of thatpluralism.

A resolution passed at last years SBC

meeting titled On Protecting ReligiousLiberty cites several issues of concern:They include the Obama administrationsmandate requiring religiously affiliatedinstitutions (but not houses of worship) toprovide contraceptive coverage for theiremployees; government defense of gaymarriage; and the acceptance of gay servicemembers in the U.S. military.

ANKARA, Turkey In a seriesof increasingly belligerentspeeches to cheering supportersSunday, Turkeys prime ministerdemanded an end to the 10-day

anti-government protests thathave spread across the country,saying those who do not respectthe government will pay.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan said hispatience was running out with theprotesters, who have occupiedIstanbuls main Taksim Square formore than a week and have heldhundreds of demonstrations indozens of cities across the coun-try.

Raising the stakes for thoseopposing him on Turkish streetsand squares, Erdogan said he plansto bring out his supporters for ral-lies in Ankara and Istanbul nextweekend.

Erdogans increasingly fiery

tone could inflame tensions, withtens of thousands of anti-govern-ment protesters in the countryslargest city, Istanbul, and thou-sands in the capital, Ankara,remaining on the streets. On twooccasions, including one in the

southern city of Adana on Saturdaynight, clashes have been reportedbetween Erdogan supporters andprotesters.

Protests have been held in 78cities across the country sinceMay 31, sparked by a violentpolice crackdown on a peacefulprotest objecting to the redevel-opment of Taksim Square and itsGezi Park.

They have since morphed into ageneral denunciation of whatmany see as Erdogans in creasing-ly authoritarian ways after a decadein power, and as an attempt toimpose his conservative, reli-gious mores in a country governedby secular laws.

The protests have attracted adiverse crowd from all social back-grounds and age groups. Threepeople have died, including apolice officer in Adana who fellinto an underpass under construc-tion while chasing demonstrators.

More than 4,300 protesters havesought medical treatment, humanrights groups have said.

We showed patience but ourpatience has its limits, Erdogantold a crowd of thousands of partysupporters who turned out to cheerhis arrival at Ankara airport onSunday, in the third of about sevenspeeches given through the after-noon and evening.

Looking much like a candidateon a campaign trail, Erdogandelivered speeches at two airports,a sports hall, two Ankara districtsand atop a bridge before headingto his party headquarters. At each,thousands of supporters turned outto cheer him.

Letters to the editor

The Anniston Star

In his new book The CenterHolds: Obama and His Enemies,

journalis t Jonathan Alter quotesa generous contributor to the presi-dents campaigns as saying BarackObama has been humbled by the

oppositions intransigence. The sup-porter, according to Alters telling,added that Obama had never failed tobring anyone around before, and itchanged him.

This episode comes from an earlyreview of Alters boo k, wh ich h itsstores last week. The book sets out toexplain how Obama went from a 2010midterm whipping at the hands ofRepublicans to a successful 2012 re-election bid.

From the start, Obama could not

break through the wall of inaction.Was he incapab le of granting theRepublicans a brand of Wash ingt onduality allowing them to (a.) talktough and (b.) quietly negotiate at thesame time?

Washington observers have citedany number of former chief executives Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan,Lyndon Johnson as positive exam-ples of how a president can cajole,bargain, harass or charm the loyalopposition to the bargaining table.Invite them to the White House, thepundits advise, wine em, dine em,make em feel special. No matterwhat, dont take all the rhetoric per-sonal.

Whether Obama has thick skin orthin skin or whether he lacks thewarm personality to persuade theopposition to drop its guard, itsobvious he hasnt been able to bridgethe divide.

Some observers note thatRepublican opposition may be doingmore than merely playing to the cam-

eras.The silver lining in this cloud, if

there is one, is that the nation is noless challenged than it was whenObama became the 44th U.S. presi-dent. Republicans and Democratsdont lack for incentives to worktogether to tackle employment, theeconomy, the future of energy produc-tion or climate change, to cite a fewexamples. They do lack grassrootspressure to get them moving.

Obamas growing political divide A strategy toprevent Columbineand Newtown

School Safety Advocates (SSA) was founded 13years ago in response to the Columbine schoolmassacre to prevent a similar occurrence in San

Mateo County. The strategy is to identify students onschool campuses who are a danger to themselves and oth-ers and get them help early before tragedy strikes. Theprogram, administered by the Peninsula Family YMCA,operates in each of the San Mateo Union High School dis-tricts seven schools (one SSA staff person at each) and ineight county middleschools. The high schooldistrict funds the programon its sites and JuvenileProbation pays for the mid-dle school contingent.

The full-time SchoolSafety Advocates typi-cally young people whocan relate to the students work with school person-nel to stop fights, mediateconflicts, preempt bullyingand peer-to-peer violence.

They identify students whoare depressed, experiencingemotional problems,engaging in self-harm or showing suicidal tendencies.

The key is to establish relationships with these youthsso they feel safe and comfortable working with adults.These trained family therapists can then assess the basicissues, help solve problems and obtain additional servic-es when necessary. This includes addressing challengesboth in school and in the home.

Students who need mental health assistance or are sub-ject to bullying, violence , drug and alcohol abuse, or aresuicide prone, get the help early, hopefully before damageis done. And the entire program is voluntary. Many of thestudents actually seek assistance. Students are introducedto SSAstaff at the beginning of the year. The staff min-gles with students at lunch and often at club meetings.They are well known on campus. In addition, SSA thera-pists teach classes on anger management.

** *Amain goal is to reduce youth violence, gang participa-tion, substance abuse and involvement in the criminal

justice system. And each high school works closely withits host citys police departments in San Mateo,Burlingame, Millbrae and San Bruno. According to districtAssociate Superintendent Kirk Black, these services alsohelp students deal with issues before they become seriousenough to merit suspension or expulsion.

How many Columbines and Newtowns have been avoid-ed because of the SSA program? One can only guess. Thereare students who are primarily a danger to themselves andothers who are potentially dangerous to others. The highschool district spends $400,000 a year on the program.They are confident it brings results.

In the 2012 fall semester, advocates met with students2,153 times. Out of 8,300 students, 859 or a littlemore than 10 percent needed and received support. Thenumber one issue was family conflict, followed by stu-

dents who had tried or were contemplating suicide. One in10 students sought help because of depression, peer con-flict, anxiety, academic stress and family issues. Othersbecause of alcohol and drug abuse, eating disorders andmedical problems. Since the program started, it has servedmore than 20,000 youth. If you ask SSAsta ff, theybelieve they have often prevented a potentially violentincident at school or prevented a student from attemptingor reattempting suicide.

** *It used to be that when a student was expelled from

school there were no other educational options. Today, thestudents education continues, albeit in a different settingand form. The School Safety Advocates program addsanother dimension. Help early on so the student can avoidbeing denied access to his or her home campus. During theperiod I served on the high school district board from1983-1993, we had more than 40 expulsion and suspen-sion hearings in one year. It was a frustrating process. A

trouble-making student needed to be removed from hishome high school but it was often difficult to get him orher assigned to another high school or even the continua-tion school. The law required a parent or guardian to bepresent at an expulsion hearing. Most of the time, whenyou met the parent or lack of, you understood what wascausing the students problem. One time, no parent orguardian appeared. We called the students home. Themother answered. We asked her to please attend the hear-ing. She responded: I am afraid of my son. Hes yourproblem.

During his May 23 speech onnational security, PresidentBarack Obama promised to

chat with Attorney General EricHolder about reviewing his policiesfor investigating the news media.

I am troubled by the possibilitythat leak investigations may chill theinvestigative journalism that holdsgovernment accountable, the presi-dent said.

It is hard to imagine an assessmentmore divorced from reality.

The still-developing story of theObama administrations willingnessto steamroll First Amendment rightsof a free press has blown well past thestage at which even the most thor-ough, chin-pulling review of poli-cies is likely to change anything.

This debacle requires a change ofJustice Department personnel. At thetop.

This administration has demonstrat-ed, emphatically, that it has no prob-lem whatsoever with putting a chillon investigative journalism.

Justice guidelines require subpoenasof media records to be as narrowlydrawn as possible, according toArizona State University journalismprofessor Leonard Downie Jr., writingin the Washington Post, which he for-merly edited. The AP warrants capturedthousands of calls.

The media company being investi-gated should be given reasonable

notice of the intrusion. The APhadnone. And the investigation again,

according to policy must strike abalance between the publics righ t to

know and national security. TheJustice investigations of AP andRosen struck no such balance. ...

The disturbing Internal RevenueService scandal is also part and parcelto the administrations control-freakbehavior. And every bit as much athreat to free speech.

Whether dictated from the top orcreated by spontaneous combustion,the IRS harassment of conservativegroups prior to the 2012 electionsstifled speech. The administrationmay not have issued directives to IRSapparatchiks, but it certainly set thetone for what would occur.

In 2008, President-elect Obamapromised the most transparent admin-

istratio n in history. That would be apolicy worth reviewing.

NEW YORK Down, down, down.Thats the direction of stocks in the BRICSeconomies, which were investment darlingslast year but now seem deadweights.

In stock market terms, its been a disap-

pointing year for the emerging-marketpowerhouses that make up the cuteacronym: Brazil, Russia, India, China andSouth Africa. Almost all the major stockindexes are lower in the five countries. Themarket in the U.S., by contrast, is up 15percent.

But BRICS, for a lot of reasons, are still agood buy to many investors, who think thisyears declines are just a blip and not along-term trend.

The economy is growing in every BRICScountry. China expanded at a rate of nearly8 percent last year, lower than previousyears but enviable to most everyone else,including the U.S., which grew just a hairabove 2 percent. Growth in the BRICScountries will continue to outstrip that ofthe developed world, and even that of over-

all emerging markets, for at least the nextfive years, according to the International

Monetary Fund.Indeed, what made emerging markets so

attractive in the first place namely,untapped potential is still in ample sup-ply in the BRICS. For most, their work-forces are young and expanding; theirpoverty rates are falling; their lifeexpectancy is growing. Together, theyaccount for about 42 percent of the worldspopulation. Their demographics are way,way better than the developed worlds,says Derrick Irwin, portfolio manager atWells Fargo Advantage Funds.

And as for the troubling declines in theBRICS stock markets this year? Not toworry, say Irwin and others. The stockshave room to grow.

Irwin says emerging-market countries,which include the BRICS, represent about

29 percent of the global economy but just12 percent of global stock market value.That means the emerging-market stocks arepunching beneath their weight, he says,and still maturing.

The U.S., on the other hand, is punchingabove its weight: It has 47 percent of theworlds stock market value, but makes up

less than 24 percent of the world economy,according to calculations using the MSCIAll Country World Index.

Luiz Carvalho, managing partner at TreeCapital, thinks that concerns about theBRICS stock markets are overblown and arealready accounted for in the lower stockprices. He believes theyre set to grow.

The BRIC term was invented in 2001 byJim ONeill, the well-known formerGoldman Sachs economist who retired lastmonth He needed a shorthand way to refer tofour big, developing countries that seemedpoised to drive global growth. It was justBRIC back then, not BRICS, becauseONeill didnt include South Africa.

The acronym caught on and was embracedby the countries. Brazil, Russia, India andChina held a BRIC summit in 2009. Two

years later, they invited South Africa tojo in .

Investors caught on, too. From 2001 to2007, the BRICS countries clocked betterstock gains than the worlds most industri-alized countries.

But the BRICS beat the developed coun-tries only twice in the five years from 2008

through 2012, as measured by the MSCIBRIC index and the MSCI G7 index, whichencompasses the seven most industrializedcountries in the world.

For inves tors, its important to rememberthat even if the BRICS are lumped togetherin hearts, minds and analyst reports, theystill should be examined individually.

Not all BRIC countries are createdalike, says Anthony Chan, chief econo-mist for Chase Private Client. For short-term prospects, he likes China best, withBrazil a distant second. He has concernsabout South Africa.

Still, hes optimistic about all theBRICS. If they pursue the right policypaths, he says, their growth rates will bemuch more exciting than the developedmarkets.

BRICS are still a good buy to many investors

more computing power and new enter-tainment options. While the actualanswer is likely a combination of allthe above, it doesnt seem like next-gen console creators have been able to

effectively communicate that idea.The move from standard- to high-

definition graphics, as well as theintroduction of a simple-to-use doodadcalled the Wiimote, made the last tran-sition between console generationseasy to see and feel. But its been atougher proposition this time for com-panies attempting to sell difficult-to-describe consoles to consumers moreinterested in mobile devices.

Nintendo already kicked off the next

generation with a thud last Novemberwith the launch of the Wii U, the suc-cessor to the popular Wii system featur-ing an innovative tablet-like controlleryet graphics on par with Microsofts

Xbox 360 and Sonys PlayStation 3.Nintendo said it sold just 3.45 millionunits by the end of March, well belowthe companys expec tations.

Sony Corp. and Microsoft Corp.both plan to go into deeper detail at E3about their forthcoming systems thatwere teased earlier this year. Sonycalled the PlayStation 4 a super-charged PC, while Microsoft describedits Xbox One as an all-in-one enter-tainment solution for living rooms.

WASHINGTON Want more time offwork to hang out at the beach? Need a littlecash and have vacation days to spare?

Some companies allow their workers tobuy and sell vacation time, a perk that givesworkers more flexibility in managing theirtime off.

The novel approach might help employ-ees buy some extra days off to take the tripof a lifetime or spend more time with a new-

born. Co-workers could sell off unused daysto get some extra money.

When times are a little tight, this benefitreally doesnt cost a lot of extra money toemployers to provide, said Julie Stich,research director for the InternationalFoundation of Employee Benefit Plans.Its offered by more forward thinking orflexible-type employers.

A soon-to-be released survey by theSociety for Human Resource Managementfound that 9 percent of employers allowedworkers to cash out unused vacation time.Five percent let employees purchase addi-tional vacation days through a payrolldeduction. An additional 7 percent allowedemployees to donate vacation time to a gen-eral pool that can be used by other workers.

The approach is even more popular withemployers that have paid time off or PTOplans that combine vacation time, sickleave and personal days into one compre-

hensive plan. About 52 percent of employ-ers reported offering such plans. Of those,19 percent offered a cash-out option and 15percent offered a donation program. Onepercent give their workers unlimited timeoff.

The cost is usually one weeks salary, pro-rated over the course of the year. Employeesoften have to decide whether to participate

during an annual fall enrollment processand it becomes part of their benefits for theupcoming year.

Nora Kouba, who manages company carsat construction materials giant USG Corp.in Chicago, said she used to buy an extraweek off to care for her kids or take longsummer vacations with the family. Butthese days, she tends to sell her excessvacation time.

I loved having the extra week when Ineeded it, and now I like having the extramoney, Kouba said.

USG allows all 9,000 of its employeesworldwide to buy or sell up to a week ofvacation time each year. A little more thanhalf of the companys employees typicallybuy an extra week off, while just 5 percentsell a week, USG spokesman RobertWilliams s aid.

People really value their time and appre-ciate the benefit, Williams s aid.

The company used to allow employees tobuy up to two weeks of extra vacation ayear. But Williams said it was too popularand was cut back to just one week to avoidscheduling problems in USGs productionfacilities.

A flexible vacation policy has been inplace about for about 15 years at KimberlyClark Corp., based in Irving, Tex. The com-pany allows employees to purchase up tofive extra vacation days each year during afall enrollment period, said spokesman BobBrand.

Its very popular, Brand said. It pro-vides a great deal of flexibility for someonethat may have a big trip planned or an eventthats going to take an extended amount oftime.

The company does not allow employeesto sell vacation days, but they can carry alimited number of unused days over into thefollowing years.

Giantshandle

DbacksBy Bob Baum


PHOENIX A stomach ache struck ChadGaudin just before he took the mound forSan Francisco on Sunday.

No matter.The Arizona

Diamondbacks still coulddo little damage againstthe ailing right-hander.

Gaudin, who said hethrew up a couple oftimes while his team wasat-bat during the game,pitched six stronginnings for the secondstraight start in the Giants 6-2 victory onSunday.

Gaudin (2-1), normally a long reliever

who was filling in for the injured RyanVogelsong, struck out seven and walked oneintentionally.

Not that he felt great doing it.This came on like right at the start,

Gaudin said. I thought maybe it was nervesin the beginning but it wasnt. It just kindof lingered on during the whole game. So I

just had to battle it and get it through.The Giants took two of three in Arizona to

move to 1 1/2 games behind the first-placeDiamondbacks in the NL West. Colorado, awinner in extra innings over San Diego,also is 1 1/2 back.

San Francisco, 5-1 at Arizona this season,won the last two games of the series by acombined score of 16-7 after losing theopener 3-1 on a late homer by PaulGoldschmidt.

Were a better offensive team than whatweve been doing the last couple of weeks,Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Everyteam goes through it. We went through atough stretch here. Its good to see the batscome to life. It seems they got some confi-dence going last night and carried that intotoday.

Marco Scutaro had three hits, including asolo home run, scoring twice. Brandon Beltalso had a solo home run.

The last couple of days we played as ateam. We played good defense with goodpitching and we scored some runs, Scutarosaid.

Grant Goodman has his choiceof San Francisco teams.

After signing a National Letterof Intent last November to playbaseball at the University of SanFrancisco, the Burlingame right-hander was selected in the 36thround by the Giants Saturday inthe Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.

Goodman went 5-2 with a team-best 1.56 ERA for the Panthersthis season, while earningPeninsula Athletic League All-Bay

Division first-team honors. In2012, he was named PAL Pitcherof the Year after an undefeated jun-ior season. He posted a 12-2 careerrecord at Burlingame over two var-sity seasons.

Currently on a post-graduationvacation, Goodman could not bereached for comment. However,there was still plenty of excite-ment at the Goodman householdafter it was announced Saturdaythat their oldest son had beendrafted by the hometown team,despite both Goodman and hisfather Gary being lifelong Asfans.

Now Im a Giants fan, Garysaid. Tomorrow Im wearing myfirst Giants jersey ever.

In all likelihood, Goodman willland at USF next season. He has angenerous athletic scholarshipwaiting for him, and stands to joina Dons pitching staff that hasetched quite a legacy in recentmemory. USF had two pitchersdrafted last week, including right-hander Alex Balog, a second-roundselection by the Rockies. And lastyear, right-hander Kyle Zimmerwas taken in the first round as thethird overall selection by theRoyals.

[Goodman will] be atUSF, and hell be ableto mature over the nextcouple years, Donsmanager Nino Giarratanosaid. I think hes going tobe a great one that wehave.

If he does optfor the colleger o u t e ,Goodman will follow a similarpath as his high-school headcoach Shawn Scott. The Panthersfourth-year manager played sixprofessional seasons in the BlueJays organization from 1988-93,

after being drafted out of ElCamino in 1987.However, as a draft-and-

follow player a nowdefunct format whichused to allow players

to play one college sea-son following their draft year,

after which the organizationwhich drafted said playerdecided whether or not tosign him Scott played for

one season at the Collegeof San Mateo before sign-ing with the Blue Jays.

17 points, eight rebounds andseven assists and the Miami Heatrolled to a 103-84 victory over theSan Antonio Spurs on Sundaynight to even the series at a gameapiece.

Mario Chalmers scored 19points for the defending championHeat, who trailed late in the thirdquarter before going on a 30-5 runto take control. Chris Bosh added12 points, 10 rebounds and fourassists.

Danny Green scored 17 pointson 6-for-6 shooting and TonyParker had 13 points on 5-for-14shooting with five assists for theSpurs, who turned the ball over 17times after tying a finals recordwith only four in their Game 1 vic-tory.

11 rebounds, and Kawhi Leonard had 14rebounds, including eight on offense, forthe Spurs, who shot 41 percent.

James had a triple-double in Game 1 with18 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists. Buthis scoring total was the lowest in theseplayoffs, and again there was chatter thatthe four-time MVP somehow needed to domore. James brushed those suggestions off,saying it was important to get guys likeBosh and Wade going early to get them intothe game.

Actually, it was Chalmers who ended upbeing the one to get James going.

James missed eight of his first 10 shotsand was 3 for 13 after three quarters, and theSpurs led 62-61 on a layup from Green with

less than 4 minutes to go in the third.Green, who was cut twice by the Spurs andonce by the Cavaliers during an early portionof his career that took him to Slovenia andReno in the NBAs developmental league,was flawless in the first three quarters afterplaying a big role in the Game 1 victory.

But Chalmers seemed to have an answerevery time. Often the brunt of harsh prod-ding from James and Wade on the court, theformer Final Four hero from Kansas kept theHeat going in this one. His three-point playgave Miami a 64-62 lead in response toGreens layup, Ray Allen hit a 3 and Jamesfinally converted on a tough drive to the rimfor a 69-62 lead, eliciting a roar from thewhite-clad crowd.

CHICAGO Josh Donaldsoninsisted the Oakland Athletics are

just fine, that theyre in no wayshaken. Its going to take more

than two losses to rattle them.This team is not losing anyconfidence after losing two righthere, Donaldson said afterSundays 4-2 loss to the WhiteSox. Chicago is a real good teamand theyve got real good pitchingand theyve got some bats in thatlineup that can hurt you.

Alex Rios and Tyler Flowershomered, Hector Santiago pitchedinto the seventh inning and the

White Sox beat the Athleticsagain to salvage a split of theirfour-game series.

After racking up wins and storm-ing to the AL West lead, Oaklandnow trails Texas by a half-gamethanks to a second straight clunk-er. The Athletics again failed toget much going at the plate, man-aging just five hits after collect-ing four in a 4-1 loss on Saturda y,and theyll have a day to mull itover after playing 17 straightdays without a break. They open athree-game series against theNew York Yankees at home onTuesday.

I feel good. I feel fresh,Donaldson said. I feel like were

still playing hard. Every day wego out there and were grinding.But a day off will help a little biteven more.

Conor Gillaspie made severaldiving stops at third base forChicago and drove in a run, andthe White Sox looked like a teamthat just might be waking up.

Theyve won two in a row behindstrong starts from Santiago (2-4)and John Danks after dropping 10of 11 to fall into last place in theAL Central. Their bats are showingsome life as well.

Flowers tied it 1-all in the thirdafter Coco Crisp homered in thetop half. The White Sox grabbeda 3-1 lead in the fourth on a sacri-

fice fly by Gillaspie and an RBIdouble by Gordon Beckham. Rioschased A.J. Griffin (5-5) with asolo homer in the eighth to makeit 4-2.

Santiago was simply superbafter Danks and Addison Reedcombined on a four-hitterSaturday, and the Athletics lostfor just the fifth time in 23games.

In and out of the rotation afteropening the season in thebullpen, Santiago got the callwith Jake Peavy sidelined by abroken rib and delivered in a bigway. The left-hander allowed tworuns one earned and four hitswhile striking out six and walking

three.When stuff like this happens,

you take advantage of it and justrun with it, Santiago said. Wereall hoping for Peavy to come backas soon as possible, but for now,Ill enjoy the role.

Santiago left to loud cheers witha two-run lead after walking JoshReddick with one out in the sev-enth. Matt Lindstrom came on andgave up a bloop single to a pinch-hitter John Jaso before AdamRosales grounded into a force.Matt Thornton then threw wildlyto first on a pickoff attempt,allowing Reddick to score and pullOakland within one, before Crisppopped out.

LOS ANGELES DeanLombardi was awake until dawnafter the Los Angeles KingsStanley Cup defense came to acrashing end in the WesternConference finals.

After talking with coach DarrylSutter until 4:30 a.m., the Kingsgeneral manager decided he could-nt fault his team for its effort orits tenacity in a difficult postsea-son run that ended one seriesearly.

Lombardi also remained stead-

fast in his belief that the Kingscan stay in annual Cup con-tention for quite a while.

You can never condone losing,but I have to condone their senseof honor, Lombardi said Sunday.They didnt quit. Foughtthrough. They deserve to be com-mended for what they did accom-plish, and they deserve to becommended for the fact that rightnow, theyre not satisfied.

The Kings spent Sunday decom-pressing from their eliminationby the Chicago Blackhawks, whofinished off the conference finalsin double overtime in Game 5.

Los Angeles is the 14th consecu-tive NHL champion to fail torepeat, but the first in four yearsto make it back to the conferencefinals the next year.

Once theyve spent a few daysclearing their heads and healingfrom the litany of injuries dog-ging everyone this time of year,the Kings will look back a bitmore fondly on the most success-ful two-year stretch in franchisehisto ry. Los Angeles won its firstStanley Cup title last season andfollowed it up with just the thirdtrip to the conference finals inthe Second Six clubs history.

Los Angeles had never wonmore than three playoff rounds inany two-year stretch before win-ning six rounds in the past twoseasons. Although theBlackhawks finished off theKings relatively quickly, thechampions kept the NHLsrespect.

Not that any of it will make theKings feel any better about miss-ing an opportunity to repeat.

I think a lot of our team, and Ithink we could have made a pushfor it there again, goalieJonathan Quick said. I think as ateam and individually, I dont

think we played as well as wecould have played. ... You thinkabout it, who finished 30th thisyear? Colorado? Were in thesame boat as them. We didntaccomplish what we set out todo.

Although the Kings playedimpressively at times duringtheir playoff run, they still lostseven of their last nine postsea-son games after taking a 2-0 leadin the second round against SanJose. They finished 9-9 in thepostseason, going 1-8 away fromStaples Center and managing just2.06 goals per game.

My mind was to go to school,Scott said. I was nowhere near readyto go play against those athletes. Iknew I needed a year in another goodprogram, which was CSMs program.So, I went.

And playing one season for CSM

Hall of Fame head coach John Nocemade a world of difference for Scott.

It matured me and taught me how tobe more of a team player, which (ElCamino manager) Carlos Roman hadalready taught me, Scott said. Ittaught me how to work hard, be our

there every day. You know, we playedfour or five games a week, rather than

just two high-school games . So, ittaught me how to be on the field everyday, and prepare myself every night.

In addition to a good low-90s fast-ball that had professional scouts flock-ing en masse to see him pitch this sea-son, Goodman is regarded as having agood personal makeup as well.

Hes a pretty humble kid, Scottsaid. I think his parents do a great job

of keeping him grounded. And I wasntthat easy on him in terms of stayinggrounded, and staying humble.

If Goodman does not sign by theMLB signing deadline is July 12, hewill join a USF staff that has a lotinnings to make up in terms of replac-

ing outgoing pitchers. In addition toBalog, the Dons will lose right-handerAdam Cimber, who was drafted in theninth round by the Padres. USF alsograduated three pitching mainstays inseniors Haden Hinkle, Bob Mott, andAndrew Pulido. The five outgoingpitchers combined for 368 1/3 inningsin 2013.

Weve recruited [Goodman] becausewe thought he could be a frontlinestarter a Friday or Saturday starter,

Giarratano said. So, hes going to fitthat role, but I dont think hell fit it asa freshman. Hopefully well get himinto the bullpen next year. Maybewell get him Tuesday starts. He couldpossibly win the Sunday job. But welook to him to be a major contributor.
