San Carlos Vice Mayor Andy Klein, who withdrew his mayoral bid after being arrested on suspicion of drunk driving but reconsidered after the case was dropped, was unanimously voted mayor last night.

SACRAMENTO A group of Republican senators indicated Monday that they believe California voters should have a chance to vote on tax increases, making a special election to resolve the states scal mess increasingly likely as the governor and lawmakers intensified negotiations on a budget plan. The main sticking point is how to fund government operations between the time lawmakers approve a spending plan for the scal year that begins July 1 and a special election, which Gov. Jerry Brown has been seeking and wants to hold in September. I believe well get there, said Republican Assemblyman Bill
Berryhill of Stockton, when asked about the possibility of the Legislature supporting a special election. Assembly Democrats were Jerry Brown hopeful, but less optimistic. This is disingenuous, said Bob Blumeneld, D-Los Angeles, chairman of the Assembly Budget Committee. If (Republicans) were serious about an election, they would have had it in June. Brown and Democratic lawmakers want to extend a series of expiring temporary tax hikes to help
Jacob Mulderick has spent parts of the past six summers at the San Mateo County Fair showing off his prized pigs, rabbits, goats and steer. The teenager who lives just south of Half Moon Bay participates in livestock competitions throughout the week at the fair leading up to a live auction this Saturday when the animals will be sold for market. Yesterday, the 15-year-old put the
clippers to two of his pigs ready to be sold, both named Sampson. In the pen next to his, 13-year-old Evan Impink was also busy giving his two pigs a trim to keep them nice and neat for any prospective buyers. Impinks pigs are also named Sampson. Another friend of the two young men also has two pigs in the competition named Sampson. In total, there are six Sampsons at the fair competing for prized ribbons this year. The boys named all
of the pigs Sampson as a joke but hope at least one of them are prize winners. Muldericks fattest pig is 322 pounds and Impinks is 303 pounds. We hope to get $3.25 a pound, Impink said. Pigs are fun and friendly, Impink said, but do not listen so well. Mulderick is an animal lover but he does not develop emotional attachments to any that are brought

In 1775, the Continental Army, forerunner of the United States Army, was created. In 1801, former American Revolutionary War General and notorious turncoat Benedict Arnold died in London. In 1811, Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Toms Cabin, was born in Litcheld, Conn. In 1911, the British ocean liner RMS Olympic set out on its maiden voyage for New York, arriving one week later. (The ships captain was Edward John Smith, who went on to command the ill-fated RMS Titanic the following year.) In 1940, German troops entered Paris during World War II; the same day, the Nazis began transporting prisoners to the Auschwitz concentration camp in German-occupied Poland. In 1943, the Supreme Court, in West Virginia State Board of Education vs. Barnette, ruled that children in public schools could not be forced to salute the ag of the United States. In 1954, the words under God were added to the Pledge of Allegiance. In 1967, the space probe Mariner 5 was launched from Cape Kennedy on a ight that took it past Venus. In 1985, the 17-day hijack ordeal of TWA Flight 847 began as a pair of Lebanese Shiite Muslim extremists seized the jetliner shortly after takeoff from Athens, Greece. In 1986, death claimed Broadway librettist Alan Jay Lerner in New York at age 67; Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges in Geneva at age 86; and Wild Kingdom host Marlin Perkins in suburban St. Louis at age 81.

However, Mehserle would be subject to searches by law enforcement without probable cause for the length of his parole. The law also prohibits sending him back to prison unless he is convicted of a new crime. He obviously met the Johannes corrections department and Mehserle parole boards criteria and therefore they feel his supervision can be minimal, said Steven Clark, a Bay Area defense attorney and former prosecutor who has followed Mehserles case. Hes a very wellknown parolee and his notoriety could work against him in terms of violating his parole. People will drop a dime on him in an instant. The whole community will be his parole ofcer. Mehserle managed to slip away from the Los Angeles Countys Twin Towers jail at 12:01 a.m. Monday unseen by the few protesters in the street as well as waiting reporters. Mehserles attorney, Michael Rains, told KTVU-TV on Monday that precautions were taken because there were too many safety concerns to let his client just walk out of jail. When asked if he felt it was safe enough for Mehserle to return to Northern California, Rains sounded optimistic. Well, we dont know. Well know more about that in the next 10 days to two weeks, Rains said. We hope he will be able to go home because he has always called Northern California home and he really doesnt want to call any place else home.

Johannes Mehserle, who served one year of a two-year sentence, was released under Californias non-revocable parole law because a risk assessment found he is less likely to reoffend, according to the states corrections department. While Mehserle will be on parole for at least a year, he has no conditions placed on him. He also does not have to meet with a parole agent and his whereabouts will not be tracked, corrections spokesman Luis Patino said.

San Mateo Countys charter requires elections be countywide rather than by district, a practice expressly permitted by the state Constitution, according to attorneys representing the county against a lawsuit seeking to abolish the existing practice. The motion led in San Mateo County Superior Court asks that a lawsuit led in April be dismissed. A case management conference is currently scheduled for Aug. 10. Attorneys for the county argue not only that at-large elections are allowed but that they contribute to the countys success. San Mateo County is the only county in the
state that elects supervisors countywide, said attorney Joe Cotchett in a prepared statement. And its no coincidence that San Mateo County is the best-managed county in the state of California with supervisors who are accountable to all voters. Under the current system, the ve supervisors are elected by all voters but must live within the district they represent. The lawsuit, led on behalf of six residents, claims the practice is inequitable to minorities and violates the California Voting Rights Act. A 17-member charter review committee last year recommended voters decide the matter but the Board of Supervisors would not place
the charter-changing question on the November ballot. Newly-elected Supervisor Dave Pine, a vocal opponent of countywide elections, sat on the committee. The majority consensus of the Board of Supervisors last fall was that limiting elections to a specic district would not necessarily improve representation or limit the cost of campaigning. The dismissal motion points out that county voters have afrmed countywide voting in 1932, 1978 and 1980. The county is now seeking to uphold its constitutional rights by maintaining the current system which is allowed by the state, said attorney James Wagstaffe in an announcement of the motion.

Gay judges relationship Navy capt.asks bin Laden burial crew to be safe aired in marriage case

SAN FRANCISCO Lawyers trying to salvage Californias same-sex marriage ban posed an unprecedented argument Monday involving the gay federal judge who threw out the measure last year. They insisted that then-Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker should have divulged whether he wanted to marry his own gay partner before he cleared the way for others to marry theirs. The challenge sparked sharp exchanges Vaughn Walker at a hearing before another federal judge who said he would decide within 24 hours whether to overturn the landmark ruling that came after two gay couples sued to stop voter-approved Proposition 8. It now appears that Judge Walker, at the time the complaint was led and throughout this litigation, occupied precisely those same shoes as the plaintiffs, attorney Charles Cooper said.
SAN DIEGO The commanding ofcer of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier that buried Osama bin Ladens body at sea said Monday he is returning home with one message for his 5,500 sailors, pilots and crew: Be safe. Capt. Bruce Lindsey talked to reporters Monday in a teleconference call from the ship. Its scheduled to return to San Diego Wednesday, ending a six-month deployment. Lindsey wouldnt comment on bin Ladens burial, except to say appropriate precautions are being taken for the crews safety. He said the Navy teaches
appeared to be someone with a personal vendetta against former Navy Capt. William C. Rogers III. Lindsey said he also has been working with family readiness groups to ensure no details slip out on Facebook or other social media sites that would compromise their safety. He said there have been two incidences when things that raised a red ag appeared on the ships Facebook page which has more than 31,000 friends but they were quickly removed. The USS Carl Vinson was in the North Arabian Sea last month when it received a Navy SEAL team carrying the body of the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
The teen accused of stabbing a man near downtown San Mateo last summer after mistakenly thinking he wore rival gang colors is fit to stand trial on attempted murder and weapons charges, according to a judge who reinstated criminal proceedings. Two of three court-appointed doctors had already found Jonathan Medina, 15, able to aid his own defense but defense attorney Jeff Boyarsky sought a trial on the question of whether he should face incarceration or hospitalization. Judge Robert Foiles ruling, based on
the doctors reports, means Medina will now stand trial as an adult on charges of attempted murder, malice, assault with a deadly weapon, causing great bodily injury and acting to benet a street gang. Competency is a defendants ability to aid in trial while sanity is their mental state at the time of an alleged offense. According to prosecutors, on July 15, 2010, Medina, then 14, and co-defendant Rogelio Adonay Gastelum, 20, mistakenly believed one of four men leaving the Project 90 treatment program were Sureos because they wore blue shirts. One of the defendants allegedly yelled
and ashed Norteo signs before they assaulted the men. Medina allegedly stabbed the victim seven times in the torso and he required emergency surgery to survive. Once Medinas criminal proceedings were put on hold while doctors determined his competency, Gastelum continued alone. He is currently scheduled for a pretrial conference Sept. 26 followed by trial Oct. 24. Both defendants remain in custody on no-bail status. Medina returns to court July 7 to set a preliminary hearing date.

WASHINGTON Call it the granddaddy of WikiLeaks. Four decades ago, a young defense analyst leaked a top-secret study packed with damaging revelations about Americas conduct of the Vietnam War. On Monday, that study, dubbed the Pentagon Papers, nally came out in complete form. Its a touchstone for whistleblowers everywhere and just the sort of leak that gives presidents ts to this day. The documents show that almost from the opening lines, it was apparent that the authors knew they had produced a hornets nest. In his Jan. 15, 1969, condential memorandum introducing the report to the defense chief, the chairman of the task force that produced the study hinted at the explosive nature of the contents. Writing history, especially where it blends into current events, especially where that current event is Vietnam, is a treacherous exercise, Leslie H. Gelb wrote. Asked by Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara to do an encyclopedic and objective study of U.S. involvement in Vietnam from World War II to 1967, the team of three dozen analysts pored over a trove of Pentagon, CIA and State Department documents with ant-like diligence, he wrote. Their work revealed a pattern of deception by the Lyndon Johnson, John Kennedy and prior administrations as they secretly escalated the conict while assuring the public that, in Johnsons words, the U.S. did not seek a wider war. The National Archives released the Pentagon Papers in full Monday and put them
online, long after most of the secrets spilled. The release was timed 40 years to the day after The New York Times published the rst in its series of stories about the ndings, on June 13, 1971, prompting President Richard Nixon to try to suppress publication and crush anyone in government who dared to spill condences. Prepared near the end of Johnsons term by Defense Department and private analysts, the report was leaked primarily by one of them, Daniel Ellsberg, in a brash act of deance that stands as one of the most dramatic episodes of whistleblowing in U.S. history. As scholars pore over the 47-volume report, Ellsberg said the chance of them nding great new revelations is dim. Most of it has come out in congressional forums and by other means, and Ellsberg plucked out the best when he painstakingly photocopied pages that he spirited from a safe night after night, and returned in the mornings. He told the Associated Press the value in Mondays release was in having the entire study nally brought together and put online, giving todays generations ready access to it. The Pentagon Papers chronicle failures of U.S. policy at seemingly every turn. One was a focused attempt from 1961 to 1963 to pacify rural Vietnam with the Strategic Hamlet Program, combining military operations to secure villages with construction, economic aid and resettlement. The report concludes the U.S. had not learned lessons of the past, namely that peasants would resist attempts to change their lives. The hamlet program was fatally awed in its conception by the unintended consequence of alienating many of those whose loyalty it aimed to win, it said.
A former Daly City minister convicted of sexually abusing several young boys on church outings more than 25 years ago remains a sexually violent predator, a jurys nding that could keep in a state hospital indenitely. By agreeing that Christian Richard Williams, 59, should remain in the hospital, the jury found true that he committed at least two sexually violent crimes and has a mental illness. Williams will now not be eligible for release again unless hospital doctors feel there is a change in his condition making him no longer a predator. Williams molested several young boys in 1984 during overnight and weekend trips and was convicted by a jury of 16 molestation counts including sodomy and oral copulation. The jury returned its decision after a six-day trial, the second time Williams has been re-
committed. However, in 2002, the law provided for automatic reviews. Had Williams offended under current California law, he would have faced life in prison for the alleged multiple victims. Instead, he was sentenced in 1985 to 31 years of Christian which he had to serve a Williams minimum of half before becoming eligible for parole. Prosecutors then used a 1996 state law allowing the extension of hospital commitments for those deemed sexual violent predators. The law has since been altered, entitling convicted patients an initial hearing on whether they are a sexually violent predator. Once found true, though, the men or women can only be re-evaluated if hospital doctors believe they are changed.

DURHAM, N.C. Beset by a grim employment picture, President Barack Obama on Monday pledged to ease the way for businesses to expand hiring and offered assurances to an anxious public that he is focused on creating jobs the top political issue heading into the 2012 election and the Achilles heel of his presidency. The sky is not falling, Obama said. But the president, in a state that he narrowly won in 2008, could not ignore dismal recent economic reports. Our economic challenges were years in the making, he told workers at an energy-efcient lighting plant in Durham, and it will take years to get back to where we need to be. Obama called for educating more high-technology workers, announcing a plan to train 10,000 new American engineers every year through a public-private partnership. He also held a high-prole meeting with top CEOs who make up his advisory jobs council, offering encouragement for several ideas, including a plan that could

create an estimated 114,000 jobs by increasing energy efficiencies in commercial and apartment buildings. The visit to North Carolina, which was to be followed by fundraising stops in Miami later Monday, illustrated the political high stakes for Obama. By focusing on jobs, Obama provided a counterpoint to his Republican critics, particularly the seven 2012 presidential hopefuls who were meeting in New Hampshire Monday evening for a debate where they were sure to draw sharp contrasts with Obamas approach on the economy. Today, the single most serious economic problem we face is getting people back to work, the president said. We stabilized the economy, we prevented a nancial meltdown, and an economy that was shrinking is now growing. ... But, Im still not satised. I will not be satised until everyone who wants a good job that offers some security has a good job that offers security.
WASHINGTON The best cure for the economy now is time. Thats the overwhelming opinion of leading economists in a new Associated Press survey. They say the Federal Reserve shouldnt bother trying to stimulate the economy and could actually do damage if it did. The economists are lowering their forecasts for job creation and economic growth for the rest of this year, mainly because of high oil prices. A batch of bleak data over the past month has suggested that the 2year-old economic recovery is slowing. The economists now expect the nation to create 1.9 million jobs this year, about 200,000 fewer than when they were last surveyed eight weeks ago. They expect the unemployment rate, now 9.1 percent, to be 8.7 percent at years end. Before, they expected 8.4 percent. Despite their gloomier outlook, 36
of the 38 economists surveyed oppose any further efforts by the Fed to invigorate growth. The Fed has already cut short-term interest rates to near zero. And its ending a program to buy $600 billion in Treasury bonds to keep longer-term rates low to help spur spending and hiring. The economists say another round of bond-buying wouldnt provide much benet, if any. And some fear it could make things worse by unleashing high ination and disrupting nancial markets. When it buys bonds, the Fed in effect prints massive amounts of money. All that extra money in the system raises the nominal value of the things we buy, weakening the dollar, and it can create bubbles in the prices of stocks and commodities. What the economy needs most, says John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo, is time. Consumers must further shrink huge debts amassed in the mid-2000s. And the depressed housing market needs time to recover from a collapse in prices and sales.
MANCHESTER, N.H. Republican White House hopefuls assailed President Barack Obamas handling of the economy from the opening moments of their first major debate of the campaign season Monday night and pledged emphatically to repeal the administrations year-old health care law. When 14 million Americans are out of work we need a new president to end the Obama Depression, declared former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the first among seven contenders on stage to criticize the presidents economic policies. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, invited as an unan-
nounced contender for the 2012 nomination, used the occasion to announce she had filed papers earlier in the day to run a disclosure in keeping with a feisty style she has employed since her election to Congress. Obama was hundreds of miles away, vowing to continue his efforts to create jobs as the Republicans met on a stage at St. Anselm College in New Hampshire. Former Sen. Rick Santorum accused Obama of pursuing oppressive policies that have shackled the economy. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty labeled Obama a declinist who views
America as one of equals around the world, rather than a special nation. If Brazil can have 5 percent growth, if China can have 5 percent growth, then America can have 5 percent growth, he added, shrugging off criticism that his own economic projections were impossibly rosy. Businessman Herman Cain, a political novice, called for eliminating the capital gains tax as a way to stimulate job creation.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney stressed his experience as a businessman over 25 years as evidence that he can lead the nation out of a lingering recession. Said Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, the seventh contender on the stage: As long as we are running a program that deliberately weakens our currency, our jobs will go overseas. And thats whats happening. Pawlenty, sharing a stage with Romney, at first sidestepped a
chance to repeat his recent criticism of the Massachusetts state health care law that Romney signed as governor. It includes a requirement for residents to purchase coverage, a forerunner of the individual mandate that conservatives loath in the new federal law. My using Obamneycare was a reflection of the presidents comments, Pawlenty said, referring to a word he coined in a Sunday interview.

OPINION
That is why every school child in America starts their day by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. And it is why we stand in unison to honor the ag before sporting events and on every patriotic occasion. The initial national observance of Flag Day occurred on the ags centennial, June 14, 1877, shortly after the Civil War. By the turn of the 19th century, Flag Day observances had become popular throughout the land, but it was not until 1916, as World War I raged in Europe, that President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed June 14 as a day on which we as a nation give signicant expression to our thoughtful love of America (and) our comprehension of the great mission of liberty and justice to which we have devoted ourselves as a people. In 1949, Congress made Flag Day a permanent observance. Although it has had many designs
Character flaw
Guest perspective
over the years, the American ag has always stood for the United States Constitution, the American way of life, our collective past achievements and our ideals and dreams for the future. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed nearly 100 years ago, on the rst anniversary of Flag Day, This ag, which we honor and under which we serve, is the emblem of our unity, our power, our thought and purpose as a nation. It has no other character than that which we give it from generation to generation. The choices are ours.
Assemblyman Jerry Hill represents the 19th District in the California Assembly. Hill is the author of Assembly Concurrent Resolution 56 (2011) recognizing Flag Day in California.
esolved, that the ag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue eld representing a new constellation. Resolution of the Second Continental Congress, adopted June 14, 1777 The American ag is very special to us. It is a symbol of our national unity. It is meant to be honored each and every day as the emblem of our history, our values and our heritage. Every session of the state Assembly begins with the members of both parties rising in the great chamber, standing at attention behind their desks, hand over heart, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to the American ag. It is an opportunity for us as legislators from every corner of California to focus our attention, at least for a few moments, on that which brings us together as a state, a nation and a people.

ormer San Carlos mayor Brad Lewis campaign to rejoin the City Council is over. That means mine is just beginning. But while Lewis return only required a multi-page application, a 20-minute interview and an unanimous vote by his peers, I anticipate my battle to be heard will be much more uphill. My platform? A desire to be a cartoon. After all, who wouldnt want the chance to be immortalized in celluloid before time commits the body to cellulite? And Lewis, he of Pixar and Ratatouille and Cars fame, appears to be my shot at animated infamy. I tried during Lewis 2005 to 2009 term to sell my qualities, even going so far as to grovel in a 2007 column that ultimately, ahem, drew the conclusion I need be nothing more than a mute and it goes without saying, cute mouse in the corner of a non-pivotal scene. At that point, a Cars sequel wasnt being publicly talked about and I was arguing that my voice was more than the road noise description of a quasi-deaf friend or the slightly foreign accent some believe I have. However, I now know my failure to sway Lewis is because I didnt adequately sell my other attributes, namely that I have cartoon experience. Certainly, Lewis must now acquiesce if he knows I am not a mere novice with only familiarity with the three-dimensional, human realm. But no! First, there was elementary school, maybe fourth or fifth grade, when cartoonist Morrie Turner of Wee Pals fame, visited for an assembly of some nature. Plucked from the audience, I stood before Turner on stage while he quickly sketched out a profile of what was supposed to be me complete with flipped-out hair and freckles. The figure held a stack of books: math, reading, history. And I bet I know your best subject, he quipped, swiping a black marker across the butcher paper to spell out the answer on the final volumes spine. Boys. More recently, a member of the illustrious Daily Journal staff procrastinated by Simpson-izing each of us. My doppelganger is slightly different looking than reality, if only because I own neither a pale green shirt, red ball earrings and a top lip that can only politely be called protruding. As for my complexion? While the real thing can best be referred to as non-existent, my Simpsonized self has a slightly yellow pallor. The years between these two pillars of cartoon legacies are also littered with endless stick drawings and doodled self-portraits. Taken together, these serve as proof that my cartoon images albeit two-dimensional are flexible in theme if not particularly accurate. At least, I dont think Im quite as jaundiced as my Matt Groenig-esque character. The question again, though, is how to slyly remind Lewis of my interest. Ive got to act fast; his interim term ends in December. Admittedly, though, his return to the City Council certainly facilitates my diabolical plan much better than simply stalking him at his Emeryville workplace. A small slip every time I call to clarify a city issue, perhaps. Hi Brad. Hows that turf at Highlands Park working out? Oh great, not too shabby for a material some referred to as fake. You know what else is a good fake? Me as a crayon-colored critter. Or maybe a dancing tea kettle. A carrot even. Hey Brad, what are your thoughts on the new San Carlos Fire Department? Certainly youve thought about the city as a setting for a new animated short! And certainly any quaint small town needs a quaint small-town newspaper and a quaint small-town reporter. Id be glad to volunteer! Or, even, I understand the City Council is taking a summer recess. You know what Id like to do on a summer break? Oh, maybe just for a lark moonlight in a different vocation. Maybe the movies, for example. Of course, the quicker route to stardom could simply be throwing myself at his feet and explaining I need something anything! to earn cool points with the nieces and nephews. OK, and cool points with myself, too. Maybe. But when it comes to politicians and scribes like yours truly, directness isnt always the expected approach. And while I would love to be a cartoon image, I certainly wouldnt want to act out of character.

NEW YORK Passengers hate them, but airlines cant afford to give them up those aggravating bag fees. U.S. airlines collected $3.4 billion for checked luggage last year, according to a government report issued Monday. Thats up 24 percent from 2009 and a big reason the industry made money again after three years of losses. In 2010, the major airlines made a combined $2.6 billion in prots, less than they collected in bag fees. The fees typically $50 round-trip for the rst piece of checked luggage and $70 for the second allow the industry to navigate between rising fuel costs and customers
who expect rock-bottom airfares. If it werent for the fees, the airlines would most likely be losing money, said Jim Corridore, airline analyst with Standard & Poors. Thats little comfort to iers who have increasingly felt nickel-and-dimed by the airlines and now face a summer of higher airfares and packed planes. I feel like I am constantly being hit by little things by the airlines, said Lauren DiMarco, a stay-at-home mother from Wenham, Mass. Were already paying so much money. Delta generated the most revenue from bag fees $952 million followed by the combined United and Continental at nearly $655 million. American collected $580 million and US Airways $513 million, according to the Department of
Transportation. None of those fees are subject to taxes. Airlines aggressively raised ticket prices early in the year. But those increases couldnt keep up with the price of jet fuel, now 37 percent more than last year. Some more recent attempts to raise fares have failed because passengers balked at paying more. So instead, the airlines focus on fees. Unfortunately, for the airlines when they try to roll $50 into the ticket prices, people stop buying tickets, said Rick Seaney CEO of FareCompare.com. Earlier this month, Delta and United raised fees to check a second bag to Europe. Delta also added a fee for second bags checked to Latin America and ended its $2 discount for paying fees in advance online.
DETROIT Ford Motor Co. shares sank early Monday after an Ohio judge said the automaker had to pay nearly $2 billion in damages to thousands of dealerships who participated in a 2002 classaction lawsuit. But the shares pared their losses as several analysts downplayed the news and said Ford can absorb the damages even if loses a planned appeal. Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Peter Corrigan in Cleveland issued the ruling based on a Feb. 11 jury determination that the company overcharged dealers for commercial trucks over 11 years. The $2 billion award covers more than 3,000 dealerships and
about 474,000 trucks. It includes a judgment of about $781 million and about $1.2 billion in interest. Ford is appealing the decision. Ford chief counsel David Leitch said Monday that it will likely take several years for the case to wind its way through the Ohio appeals system. Standard and Poors reiterated its Buy rating on Ford Monday afternoon, saying that if Ford loses the appeal it would be costly but absorbable, with Ford taking a hit of around 47 cents per share. Barclays Capital analysts also reiterated a Overweight/Neutral rating and said they dont expect a signicant impact to
Fords cash position in the near term because of the length of the appeals process. The class action included all dealers who purchased a 600-series or higher truck from Ford from 1987 to 1997. Plaintiffs accused the automaker of failing to reveal that price concessions were given to some dealers. Ford said Monday that it believes the court committed numerous errors, including certifying all of the dealers as a class. This decision is far outside the bounds of normal legal procedure, Leitch said. He noted that Ford won a similar case in federal court in 2009. The agreement announced Monday positions Google to add another potentially valuable weapon to its advertising arsenal. Google already sells the most advertising on the Internet. The companys total ad revenue is expected to surpass $30 billion this year greater than the entire U.S. newspaper industry. For that reason, the proposed acquisition of Admeld may face more regulatory scrutiny than most deals of its size do. Financial terms of the Admeld agreement werent disclosed, an indication that Google isnt paying a high enough price for the proposed acquisition to be considered a major nancial event.

BOSTON The Boston Bruins put Roberto Luongo and the Stanley Cup back on the shelf. After another home scoring spree against Vancouvers wildly inconsistent goalie Monday night, the Bruins are making one last trip west for the big nish to these dramatic Stanley Cup nals.
Brad Marchand, Milan Lucic and Andrew Ference scored in the rst 8:35 to chase Luongo from his second straight game in Boston, and the Bruins emphatically evened the nals with a 5-2 victory in Game 6, sending the series to a decisive Game 7 in Vancouver on Wednesday night. For the sixth time in the last 10 seasons, the nals have been stretched to their limit. The home team hasnt lost in this series, with Vancouver winning three one-goal games and
Boston posting three blowout victories. Im proud of the guys, said Mark Recchi, who had three assists. We had our backs to the wall, weve been resilient all year, and we came out and had a great rst period and did what we had to do tonight, and it comes down to Game 7. Its one game now. League MVP Henrik Sedin scored his rst point of the nals with a late power-play goal for the Canucks, who opped in their rst attempt to win their franchises rst champi-
onship. Maxim Lapierre also scored in the third period for the Canucks, who will get one last try at a Rogers Arena lled with worried Vancouverites hoping their maddening team can come through. Tim Thomas made 36 saves for the Bruins, giving up two third-period goals while burnishing his credentials for the Conn Smythe Trophy as Boston moved one win away from its rst championship since 1972.
Lumpkinsnew calling
Former Serra star giving up college hoops for shot at pro baseball
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
To say Stephen Lumpkins is intimidating on a pitching mound would be an understatement. A Randy Johnson-esque 6-foot, 8-inch lefty, Lumpkins possesses the stuff and competitive streak to make a go at it professionally. But coming out of Serra High in 2008, when he was named the Daily Journals Male Basketball Player of the Year, hoops was his rst love and he parlayed that passion into a scholarship at American University in Washington, D.C. In three seasons with the Eagles, Lumpkins developed into one of the Patriot Leagues best players. But his love of baseball was always in the back of his mind. Following his freshman year at American, he returned to Redwood City and played for the American Legion Post 105 squad. Last season, he played in the New England summer league and was drafted late by the Pittsburgh Pirates. After another strong season on the hardwood, Lumpkins was a 13thround draft choice of the Kansas City Royals last week. Today, he ies to Arizona and Wednesday hell sign with the Royals to begin his career as a professional baseball player. Since I got to college, I was sticking around baseball a little bit, Lumpkins said. Im 21 now. If [Im] going to try and go for it, if you want to make the big leagues, you have to go all in. Tim Goode, the Redwood City Post 105 baseball director, believes the Royals are getting a diamond in the rough in Lumpkins. Hes outstanding, Goode said.
Stephen Lumpkins, who played baseball and basketball at Serra before going to play basketball at American University in Washington, D.C.,will give up his basketball scholarship to turn pro in baseball after he was picked in the 13th round by the Kansas City Royals last week.
SANTA CLARA Everything was going Cals way in Game 1 of its weekend Super Regional. Amid the rst of two sellout crowds at Schott Stadium, sophomore left-hander Justin Jones was dominating Dallas Baptist a team that hit .306 this season to the tune of a one-hit shutout. Then, while finishing up his warm-up throws before the seventh inning, Jones
cringed and grabbed for his left elbow. And for a minute as Cals trainer, inelders, and manager Dave Esquer converged on the anguished pitcher to assess the injury the time of their lives seemed like it might just come to a screeching halt for the Golden Bears. Reports on Jones injury were optimistic. Twenty-four hours later, the diagnosis was a left bicep cramp, with no structural damage to the elbow. Meanwhile, his departure set the stage for sophomore right-hander Logan Scott, who
emerged for a critical three-innings of work to close out Game 1. In doing so, Scott earned the rst save of his collegiate career. More importantly, the San Mateo native and former Serra standout bridged the gap between two outstanding starting performances by Jones and Game 2 winner Erik Johnson. During this run, as far as being resilient and dealing with adversity, were good at that, Esquer said. Were adversity tested throughout the whole year, so when a bump in the road happens, weve got character in that dugout.
In a season that began with Cal baseball being cut, then later reinvigorated midseason when it was announced fund-raising efforts neared a $10-million goal to secure the programs reinstatement, the Golden Bears now have the opportunity to write an unprecedented Cinderella story in closing the year with a shot at Cals rst national championship since 1957. Cal previously won the rst College World Series in 1947, and also advanced to Omaha in 1980, 1988, and 1992.

Matt Eastman went 2-for-3 with a double and three runs scored. Saturday the Blues stayed alive by defeating All-Pro of Oakland, 5-3, behind the pitching of Eastman and the offense of Daniel Engels. Eastman threw ve innings and did not allow an earned run. Engels went 2-for-3 with two runs and three stolen bases. The Blues won two games Sunday before falling in the semi-nals. Redwood City beat the Oakland Rock Hounds, 11-1 behind a complete game from Hogan Bradford. Bradford struck out six, walked none in an 84-pitch, seven-inning effort. Wilkins again provided much of the offense, going 3-for-4 with a double and triple. Michael York and Engels also had three hits. The Blues reached the seminals by scoring four runs in the sixth to erase a 4-1 decit and take a 5-4 victory over Alameda. Matt Martellas single to deep left-center and subsequent score started a rally that was capped by both Jack Larson and Engels coming home on a passed ball. John Buchman struck out eight in ve innings to earn the win. Austin Marcus struck out three in the sixth to earn the save. Redwood City opens league play this week, Tuesday against San Mateo Post 82 at Hillsdale and Thursday against Burlingame at Burlingame. They return home to Sacred Heart Prep for a Saturday doubleheader against the San Carlos Tribe.

Saturdays 4-2 victory on the road against D.C. United. And no one is hotter than Steven Lenhart, who scored his rst career hat trick and assisted on another goal in Saturdays victory. His effort was good enough to earn him MLS Player of the Week honors, picking up 17 of the 23 rst place votes by the North American Soccer reporters, becoming the rst San Jose player to pick up the honor in 2011. Lenhart scored all three of goals in different fashion. His first came on a magnificent through ball from Khari Stephenson that beat the offside trap putting Lenhart in all alone against D.C. goalkeeper Bill Hamid. Lenhart put on a nifty move to his left to dispose of Hamid and nished to equalize things at one in the 15th minute. Seven minutes later, Lenhart would score on a loose ball in the box it was a great While a baseball career was always in the back of his mind, it was going to take the perfect situation for Lumpkins to give up his basketball scholarship. That perfect situation materialized with Kansas City. I had a great experience playing basketball. I was set up for my senior year. But I felt this was an opportunity that was too good to pass on, Lumpkins said. I dont have much of a track record, but they (the Royals) still took me in the 13th round. The situation came last week, and it was right, so it was time for me to go (chase my baseball dream). Lumpkins initial plan this summer was to pitch in a collegiate summer league again, but he sent out his biography to a number of Major League Baseball organizations, as well as attended some baseball camps. He got some recognition from scouts during the summer following his sophomore year and, this year, the Royals invited him to a pre-draft play considering that Lenhart was the one that fed Stephenson for the initial laser of a shot that Hamid knocked away. The striker stayed with the play and put the rebound into the back of the net. In the 49th minute, Lenhart assisted on a goal to Simon Dawkins and in the 60th minute, the striker out-leaped four United players just inside the 18 to head in his third goal of the game and fourth of the season. San Jose has denitely been playing better soccer as of late. After playing themselves to near-the-bottom of the Western Conference to start the season, the Quakes nd themselves in sixth place after this weekends win, with 13 goals scored during their six-game unbeaten clip. Most of their success has to be credited to Lenhart. Since returning from arthroscopic knee surgery on April 30, San Jose is 4-1-2. workout. He got to meet the Royals brass and everyone appeared to hit it off. I was impressed with them, Lumpkins said. While the Royals have not experienced a lot of success over the last couple of decades, they appear to be on the upswing. They are universally recognized as having one of the strongest farm systems in the majors and many of those prospects are on the verge of joining the big club. Lumpkins is entering an organization that has an eye for young talent, so its not as if the Royals are taking a ier on Lumpkins. Hes a [6-8] lefty who throws hard, with no bad habits, Goode said. Kansas City has to be very excited to be working with a player like that. Lumpkins said it was tough telling his basketball coaches and teammates at American University that he was leaving the program, but ultimately they understood his decision.

Chris Wondo-who? While there were some who, rightfully so, rejoiced when San Jose striker Chris Wondolowski was chosen for the United States mens national team roster for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, there were also those who feared that the Earthquakes would dreadfully miss his offensive presence on a team that is already offensively challenged. But maybe having to face soccer life without the reigning Major League Soccer Golden Boot winner was exactly what San Jose needed. After a dreadfully slow start to the season, the Earthquakes are riding a big wave of momentum right now, highlighted by
San Jose striker Steven Lenhart, left, who scored three goals and assisted on a fourth in a 4-2 win over D.C. United, was named the MLS Player of the Week.The Earthquakes are 4-1-2 since he returned from knee surgery.
He is about a semester short of receiving his degree in business from American and his parents gave Lumpkins their blessing to play baseball, with one caveat: he has to earn his degree. He plans on doing just that in the offseason. Until then, however, Lumpkins focus with be on the small, white ball. Not the big orange one. The last week or so has been real hectic. Im really ready to just get down to Arizona (and sign), to put all this other stuff out of the way, Lumpkins said. Im excited for the new challenge that is ahead. Its not going to be easy. Its my job now. For a 21-year-old guy, its a cool job to have.

Very competitive. He knows the game, has great poise. He throws hard and hes athletic. His arm is fresh. Its not tired. It didnt matter if he played in college or not. He wasnt getting worn out. He doesnt have any bad habits (when it comes to pitching). In Lumpkins last season with the Redwood City program, Goode said he was throwing in the high 80s, low 90s and was working on a slider and changeup. The fact Lumpkins played basketball actually helped his baseball game. Not that the two sports are related, but by virtue of playing in a Division I college program, Lumpkins got stronger, which beneted his pitching.

easy to pick up the game again, regardless of the layoff. In November, however, Howard had to have Tommy John surgery on his elbow which is a ligament-replacement procedure. The normal recovery time is 12 to 16 months, but Howard was playing this tournament, his rst since the surgery, in just over six months. So how does an IT guy, who plays tennis, blow out his elbow ligament? Arm wrestling, naturally. After winning over $300 in a bar challenge, Howard was arm wrestling a friend, who, in his haste to beat Howard, wrapped his legs around the table legs in an effort to get more leverage. When everyone heard a loud pop, it was assumed the table broke. Apparently, it was Howards ligament snapping.

Monday afternoon on breezy San Francisco Bay, it was no less than one of the most dominant skippers in Americas Cup history, Russell Coutts, whose 45-foot catamaran went head-overheels in a spectacular wipeout. Grinder Shannon Falcone was thrown through the wing sail and into the chilly water, and another crewman was thrown into the water. Falcone was examined by paramedics on the dock and taken to the hospital for precautionary X-rays. Sailors wear crash helmets and foul-weather gear when sailing the speedy boats. Coutts, the CEO of defending champion Oracle Racing, was racing skipper Jimmy Spithill as part of a media day to publicize the U.S. debut of the new boats. His boat was bearing away during the prestart maneuver when the bows buried in a wave and the cat lifted into the air and went over before coming to rest on its side. The catamaran was pulled upright by a support boat. Coutts almost capsized on Friday, the second day of Oracles rst testing session in the new cats on San Francisco Bay. The AC45s debuted earlier this year in New Zealand, where two capsized. The AC45s will be used for the AC World Series this year and next. The 2013 Americas Cup will be sailed in 72-footers, which will be faster and more powerful. Sailors have known that getting up to speed in the new catamarans is going to be tricky and possibly dangerous. Coutts, a four-time Americas Cup winner, was prophetic when he and Spithill spoke at a news conference earlier in the day about the risk-reward of sailing the cats. Theyre very demanding but also incredibly exciting, said Spithill, a 31-year-old Australian who is the youngest skipper to win the Americas Cup. After sailing a monstrous, space-age trimaran to defeat Alinghi of Switzerland in 2010 to win the oldest trophy in international sports, Oracle owned by software billionaire Larry Ellison decided to contest the next Americas Cup in catamarans on shorter courses to make the sport more TV-friendly. The cats replace the plodding monohulls that were used from 1992-2007.
Despite the hard edge Howard, his family and the rest of their colleagues displayed, they could play tennis. So much so that the Howard family knew all the top ranked players in both college and on the pro circuit. When Howard was 10, he was awaken by tennis great Arthur Ashe, who went out on the town with Howards father following a match. He woke me up and said he wanted to meet me, Howard recalled. Although Howard is approaching 50 years old and he took 20 years off from playing tennis, its a game that is in his blood and hes proud of what he has accomplished. There is denitely satisfaction there, Howard said. *** Im now six weeks into my body transformation at B Street Boxing and while the weight is coming off slower than I would like, I cant complain. Everything is a lot better than when I started, even better than my one-month anniversary, which I detailed in this space. The biggest difference is my stamina, both cardiovascular and muscle-wise. I can now work the heavy bag for an entire three minutes. Just a couple weeks ago, I would have to stop because my shoulders just could not take the work. While I may not be the fastest when throwing punches, Im at least steady and can make it three minutes. As for my cardiovascular conditioning, Im still tired and winded following a workout, how hes doing, just to have a starter back, will be a shot in the arm for them, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Hopefully, hell lighten the load of the other guys and they dont feel they have to do so much. San Franciscos rebuilt roster is still winning the same old way. The formula of pitching and defense that propelled the franchise to its rst World Series title last year since moving from New York in 1958 has carried over this season. The Giants have still had to grind out runs every time out, keeping games close and leaning on a bullpen that is among baseballs best. The timely hitting that carried San Francisco throughout the postseason hasnt quite been there yet, with the offense routinely getting shut out one night and squeaking out a win the next. The Giants have been outscored 233-230 by opponents a remarkable disparity for a team in rst place. If we hit a lick, Huff said, we might be

The scene in the clubhouse Sunday would have been inconceivable weeks earlier: Posey was pushing himself around on a makeshift scooter that supported his reconstructed left ankle. Sanchez was in the training room with his right arm in a sling and Belt had a cast wrapped around his left wrist. Relief couldnt come soon enough. Slugger Pablo Sandoval is coming off the disabled list to rejoin the team in Arizona. He has been out since he broke a bone in his right wrist in late April after hitting .313 with ve home runs and 14 RBIs in the rst 24 games. Thats about the rst chunk of good news the Giants have had in a while. Just having him around, laughing in the clubhouse, cheering the other guys no matter
10 games over the Diamondbacks. The contributions also have come from unexpected sources. Ryan Vogelsong has gone from lling in for the injured Barry Zito to leading an already stellar rotation with a 1.81 ERA and 4-1 record. Midseason call-up Brandon Crawford has given San Francisco another power-hitting lefty, and the bullpen only seems to be getting stronger. The starting pitching has still been the biggest reason why the Giants are in rst place. While ace Tim Lincecum has struggled since a three-hit masterpiece May 21, rotation regulars Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner and Jonathan Sanchez have given a banged-up offense a healthy dose of pitching. So far, that has been just good enough. To be in rst place, we know that means nothing now, and we understand that, Bochy said. But with all the injuries and losses, it shows the resiliency of the club.

I just had to focus, knowing Id be able to nd out what had happened to him once I got back in the dugout. Turning in a perfect seventh inning, Scott made it look easy, but it wasnt. Especially since the right-hander himself suffered a traumatic arm injury following his freshman year, which cost him the entire 2010 season. Unlike Jones, Scott was diagnosis with an elbow injury a displaced fracture which left him unable to throw a baseball for six months. So, Saturday nights scene with Jones clutching his throwing arm was a familiar one to Scott. I just knew Id been there before, Scott said. I felt for him and (later) was happy for him that he seemed to be all right. plan every game with Brandon, Dallas Baptist manager Dan Heefner said. He pounds the zone. [He] did that a majority of the game, but there were a couple pitches there that they took advantage of. In Game 2, Bears catcher Chadd Krist jumped on Patriots starter Jared Stafford, squaring up a hanging curveball in a twostrike count to drive a majestic home run over the Schott Stadium batting cage in left-center. Krist said a confab with third-base coach Tony Arnerich helped him to sit on Staffords 2-2 offering. He just told me a little something, to pick up the middle inelders that with off-speed (pitches) they would shift a certain way. And thats crucial, Krist said.

Pitching depth
Cal showcased its pitching depth Saturday and Sunday with its bullpen combining for seven shutout innings. In Game 2, starter Johnson went six strong innings before giving way to a dynamic backend-bullpen performance from Kevin Miller, Kyle Porter, and closer Matt Flemer. Each threw a shutout inning to protect a four-run lead. Scott also inherited a four-run lead when he emerged in Game 1 for an unlikely save. With Dallas Baptist having slugged .473 this season, and with the heart of its order due up in the seventh including No. 3-hitter Jason Krizan, who led the nation in hits, and set the all-time single-season Division I doubles record there was an unmistakable air that Scott was entering with the game on the line. By no means at any time did I feel secure with a three- and four-run lead, with their offensive numbers, Esquer said. I thought the ball was carrying pretty good and I know their offensive style is to get the ball airborne and let the ball carry for them. For Scott, being summoned into the game was premature, but not unexpected. Having pitched three of ve games in Cals dramatic Regional Playoff win, he said he expected to pitch Saturday, though he didnt gure on getting the call as early as he did with the way Jones was cruising. But when his teammate

Also, Pac-10 Player of the Year and everyday second baseman Tony Renda was limited to designated hitter throughout
Power surge
Dallas Baptist pitching was around the plate throughout the series, but Cals offense countered with an aggressive approach at the plate that produced swift results. Patriots starter Brandon Williamson took the loss in Game 1, dropping his record to 10-4, but threw 20 strikes on his rst 25 pitches of the game. On that 25th pitch, Cals top home-run hitter Chad Bunting got his team on the board with a soaring three-run homer to left. Cleanup hitter Marcus Semien added a three-run bomb off Williamson in the eighth, before Cal knocked out DBUs wins leader two batters later. [Challenging hitters is] kind of the game time conrming Luongo will start Game 7 in Vancouver, where he already has two shutouts in the series. I dont have to say anything to him, Vigneault said.

Weve already turned the page on that, and were going back home. The Bruins are one win away from their Original Six franchises rst championship since 1972. Boston has lost its last ve trips to the nals since, never even reaching a seventh game but the Bruins can hang another banner in the Garden rafters with one road win. And the Bruins have ample experience in Game 7. Theyve already played two in these playoffs, beating Montreal in the rst round and Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference nals but both of those games were at home, where Boston nished the postseason with 10 wins in its last 11 games. If Vancouver cant regroup in the next 48 hours after another East Coast collapse, the Canucks will waste the best regular season in franchise history and the franchises best chance at a championship. Vancouver lost Game 7 of the 1994 nals to Mark Messiers New York Rangers, and hadnt been back to the nals since.
the Super Regional due to a calf strain. The injuries, however, have allowed the Bears to show off their depth. Their pitching prowess was no secret, as the Bears staff has held opposing hitters to a .236 overall batting average this year. But freshman inelder Derek Campbell did surprise in the Super Regional, playing exceptional defense at second base, while going 4 for 8 with an RBI and two runs scored at the plate. Esquer will be making his rst trip to Omaha as a manager, though as a player he did win a College World Series as shortstop of Stanfords 1987 national championship squad. I could not be prouder of a bunch of kids and a staff to go through what weve had and to come out the other side. And theyll never forget this the rest of their lives, Esquer said. Esquer went on at length during Sundays postgame press conference about his sincere appreciation and admiration of his 2011 team, through all they have persevered this season. And like everyone among Cals postgame celebration, from the dog pile on the diamond to the waves of blue-and-gold fans in the grandstands, Esquer couldnt deny the smile on his face and the stars in his eyes. Not many times coaches get to elicit how they feel about their team, Esquer said. But I said at the start of the year and I knew that I love coaching this team.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. The United States enters the nal groupstage match of an international soccer tournament for the third straight year needing a win to secure a place in the knockout stage. The Americans did it twice before, at the FIFA Confederations Cup in 2009 and the World Cup in 2010. Now, depending on the result of Tuesday nights early match, the U.S. could nd itself in a must-win situation against tiny but tenacious Guadeloupe in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. It would be nice to cruise through the group and be able to put your feet up, goalkeeper Tim Howard said after Mondays training session at Livestrong Sporting Park. It doesnt always happen that way.

coach Julio Dely Valdes insists his team wont ease up against Canada. Well look at it the same as any other game, Dely Valdes said through a translator. We want to win it and we want to be rst in the group. This is a process, and you always want to win it. While Panama is riding high going into the last group game, U.S. midfielder Landon Donovan said the Americans have to put aside the disappointment of Saturdays loss. If you want to be one of the teams standing at the end, its a marathon, he said. You have to be careful not to get caught up in one result, one way or the other, in a group stage. No matter the result of the early match, U.S. coach Bob Bradley said, his team has to focus on avoiding a repeat of its slow start against Panama.
Were going out with mentality to win this game, Bradley said. Our response after a game we werent satised with is important. The U.S., 22nd in the most recent FIFA rankings, is a heavy favorite against Guadeloupe, a small French possession in the Caribbean. Guadeloupe is not a FIFA member and competes only at the regional level. That said, Guadeloupe unlike the other two last-place teams in group play has not been a pushover, with a goal differential of only minus-2 despite playing a man down for much of its first two games. Were frustrated, said midelder Stephone Auvray, who plays for Sporting Kansas City in Major League Soccer. If we had played a full team in one of those matches, things could be different now.
Hopefully, tomorrow well be able to do it. Guadeloupes determination and its strong history in the Gold Cup including a run to the seminals in 2007 certainly has the Americans respect. Its not going to be an easy game, U.S. forward Clint Dempsey said. They want to win and they have a good team. Still, the U.S. does have a recent history of clutch performances in the last round of group play. Two years ago in the Confederations Cup, the Americans needed and got a 3-0 win over Egypt to get out of the group stage on their way to a runner-up nish. Last year, the U.S. drew in its rst two World Cup matches before Donovans late goal against Algeria gave them the points they needed to move on.

NEW YORK The results of the blood test revealed only a risk, but when she saw them, she still threw up. Now she had to nd out for sure. So she lay on her back at a doctors ofce, praying, comforted by her Christian faith and her mother at her side, while a needle was slipped into her belly. Erin Witkowski of Port Jervis, N.Y., was going to nd out if the baby she was carrying had Down syndrome. For years, many women have gone through an experience like hers: a blood or ultrasound test that indicates a heightened risk of the syndrome, followed by a medical procedure to make a rm diagnosis by capturing DNA from the fetus. Usually its the needle procedure Witkowski had, called amniocentesis, done almost four months or more into the pregnancy. Sometimes its an earlier test called CVS, or chorionic villus sampling, which collects a bit of tissue from the placenta. Both pose a tiny but real chance for miscarriage, and experts say highly skilled practitioners are not available everywhere. But by this time next year there may be an alternative one that offers accurate results as early as nine weeks into the pregnancy. Companies are racing to market a more accurate blood test than those available now that could spare many women the need for an amnio or CVS. It would retrieve fetal DNA from the mothers bloodstream. And the answer could come before the pregnancy is obvious to others. For some women, that might mean abortion is a more tenable choice. For others it could be a mixed blessing. Down syndrome slows mental and physical development, and people with it usually show mild to moderate disability in intellect and skills for everyday living. Physically, they often have a at face with a short neck and

smaller hands and feet. Theyre at risk for complications like heart defects and hearing problems. Life expectancy is about 60 years. Most cases are diagnosed after birth now, but if the blood test is widely adopted it could become chiey a prenatal event. A diagnosis before birth can pose a difcult challenge for couples as they decide whether to continue the pregnancy. Its not only about child-rearing, but also about what happens as the child grows into an older adult and may need care that the aging parents struggle to provide, says Dr. Mary Norton, a Stanford University professor of obstetrics and gynecology. Dr. Brian Skotko, a Down syndrome specialist at Childrens Hospital Boston who has written a research paper for doctors on how to deliver a diagnosis, said the vast majority of people with Down syndrome and families afrm that their contributions to their communities are signicant, and their lives are very valuable. Current prenatal screening has already cut into the number of babies born with the syndrome, which now stands at about 6,000 each year in the United States, or about 1 in every 691 babies, says Skotko, who serves on the board of the National Down Syndrome Society. He cites one study that concludes the number of Down syndrome births in the nation dropped 11 percent between 1989 and 2006, a time when it would otherwise be expected to rise 42 percent. Initially, doctors are expected to use the new blood test with women at risk for a Down syndrome pregnancy, such as those older than 35. A negative result would indicate a woman
could skip the amnio or CVS; a positive result would suggest she get one done to be sure. Eventually it might replace the routine screening tests offered to all pregnant women. Since the test sounds fewer false alarms than current tests, fewer women would be told they need the invasive follow-up procedures, experts say. And some suggest that with further fine-tuning, it could largely replace amnio and CVS. With no miscarriage risk, more women might be willing to take it, and so more women would nd out they have a Down syndrome pregnancy. Two California companies, Sequenom Inc. and Verinata Health Inc., hope to offer the test to doctors in the United States by next April. They say it could be done in the rst trimester, with Sequenom aiming as early as 10 weeks, and Verinata as early as eight weeks. Results would be available 7 to 10 days later. In addition, LifeCodexx AG of Germany says it wants to start offering its test in Europe by the end of this year, to be performed at 12 to 14 weeks initially. None of the companies would discuss its cost. I would have denitely taken a noninvasive test over the struggle for deciding whether to do an amnio or not, says Nancy McCrea Iannone of Sewell, N.J., who gave birth six years ago to a daughter with Down syndrome. Shed been alerted by screening results, but hesitated to get amniocentesis because of the risk of a miscarriage and the prospect of a needle in my belly, she recalls. Ultimately, she did have one. Iannone now counsels women who plan to deliver babies with Down syndrome. Her charitable group, Down Syndrome Pregnancy Inc., lists several reasons for getting a diagnosis before birth, such as more time to adjust, grieve and learn about the condition, preparing friends and family, and checking on available medical care and insurance. But detecting the condition earlier in a pregnancy through the new blood test would

The DNA of a fetus has long been recoverable through medical procedures,with a small risk of miscarriage. But a blood test would be free of that risk, which should make many more women interested in it and doctors willing to test for a wider range of conditions,some experts say.And the results could come early enough to allow for an abortion before the pregnancy is even obvious.

Once the prenatal information is available, another question arises, King said: Should a woman be allowed to get an abortion for any reason, even a trivial one like test results about height or eye color? Some state governments have passed laws outlawing abortions on the basis of sex, she said. But its not clear whether those are constitutional, and a woman might simply not reveal her true reasons for wanting the abortion, King said. Skotko points out that people use their own personal perspective in deciding what they want for their children. Some couples who are deaf from a genetic condition already use current technology to avoid having children with normal hearing. Its their lens by which they view the world, and they want a child who views the world through that same lens, he said. Greely sees other concerns. Will the testing become so routine that women wont even realize they authorized it, and then be faced make getting an abortion easier, several observers said. Women havent bonded so much, and they wouldnt have to explain to as many people, said Christie Brooks, who moderates an online support group for women whove gotten abortions for medical reasons. No one needs to know youre pregnant, said Skotko. Maybe you havent even told your husband. Skotko said he respects that a womans right to continue or terminate a pregnancy is a personal one for couples. But hes concerned that in the case of Down syndrome, many women may be getting bad information about what having the baby would mean. And if the new test became routine it would only exacerbate that problem, he said. Studies show medical students are poorly trained about people with disabilities and that some doctors who make a prenatal diagnosis emphasize negative information about the with information and an abortion decision they didnt necessarily want? How can they be helped to make an informed decision on whether to be tested? And if offered a choice of genes to be tested, or results to be told about, who will help them sort through the long list to decide what they want to know? Few doctors are informed enough, and there arent enough genetic counselors go around, he said. The same problem arises later when it comes time to help couples understand what the results really mean, he said. How do you tell somebody about 100 different genetic things? he asked. Whos going to do that? Whos going to listen to that? Whos going to pay for that? Results can be complex. For example, how is a woman supposed to balance a 25 percent increase in risk for one disease versus a 15 percent decrease in another, Darnovsky asks. On a societal level, King said shes concondition, he said. We have a eet of physicians who are saying theyre untrained, unprepared and sometimes knowingly inserting their own personal bias, he said. How are women today able to make a truly informed decision? Others say the blood test could thrust some women into a choice they didnt ask to make. Hank Greely, a Stanford University law professor, said women sign forms for plenty of blood tests during prenatal care and often dont focus on them. Many California women are surprised to learn theyd authorized the screening test for Down syndrome, he said. If these tests are someday replaced by the new blood test, many women may be told out of the blue not simply that theyre at risk, but that in fact their baby almost surely has Down syndrome, Greely says. Theyre going to jump directly to the nal

couple get a prenatal genetic test in the future saying their fetus has ... a 60 percent chance of having breast cancer at the age of 60 and a 30 percent chance of being gay, says Dr. Brian Skotko, a board member of the National Down Syndrome Society. Since such information would come early enough for an abortion, Skotko says, The ultimate question for society is, What forms of human variation are valuable? Then theres the possibility of direct-to-consumer companies stepping in to ll demand, King said. Couples who go that route may miss out on getting help in understanding the nuances of what the test results really mean, said Dr. Mary Norton, a Stanford professor of obstetrics and gynecology.
cerned that the prenatal diagnosis might become seen as a way of curing diseases by aborting fetuses that have them. Greely recently spoke about prenatal diagnosis before the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical issues, a federal advisory board. Valerie Bonham, executive director, said the commission may pursue the topic further as part of a project on DNA technology. Its an important and emerging issue, she said. Norton doesnt believe the arrival of a blood test for DNA analysis would raise all the issues some observers cite. But she thinks its still a good idea to talk about what the new technology could mean. I think that it is always better and helpful and important to bring up all of these issues, whether they are likely to really become reality or not, she said. Once youve opened Pandoras box, its harder to close it. answer, which is not necessarily something they wanted to get, Greely said. So the new test poses a challenge to the medical establishment about how to assure that women get adequate counseling to make an informed choice, he said. Witkowski, who prayed as that needle was slipped into her swollen belly in 2009, got her answer: It was Down syndrome. As her doctor gave her the news, her baby kicked her and I could see my belly move, she recalled. Her doctor started talking immediately about abortion, a step Witkowski rejected. She changed doctors and gave birth to Grady in February 2010. When they first gave him to me, Witkowski said, I saw tiny little hands, and he had the most beautiful eyes. ... He didnt have Down syndrome stamped on his forehead. He cried and he peed and he pooped. He was a baby.

be a mixed blessing, Iannone said. The time between diagnosis and birth is an unnatural state, she said, and the longer that time period is, the harder it is. All you know is that they have Down syndrome. Youre coping with that diagnosis in a vacuum, without a baby... Its fear of the unknown, you havent met your baby yet. You spend a lot of time worrying. That might weigh heavily on women who havent decided whether to continue the pregnancy or not, she said. Since the new blood test could deliver an answer so early before a pregnancy is showing or the baby is kicking it might

close a remaining $9.6 billion decit, while Republicans want pension reforms and a state spending cap in exchange for their votes. Two Republican votes are needed in each house of the Legislature to reach the two-thirds majority needed to increase taxes or place a measure before voters. The Legislatures deadline to send a balanced budget to Brown is Wednesday, and lawmakers will lose their pay for each day they miss that deadline. Negotiations have picked up in recent days and resemble a game of political chicken, with billions in additional budget cuts at stake. Brown and legislative Democrats insist that a temporary bridge of higher taxes is needed to support education and public safety, and that the governors budget plan will not work without it. Higher sales and vehicle taxes dating to 2009 expire at the end of this month unless lawmakers vote to renew them until a special election is held or even longer. The group of four GOP senators who would support a public vote on tax exten-

The animals participate in two shows daily, which keeps Impink and Mulderick busy but not too busy to check out the rest of the fair. Mulderick has practically grown up at the fair, rst participating in youth livestock competition when he was 9. He likes to visit some of the many friends he has made throughout the years at the fair but admits now that he is just a little bit too old for the carnival rides. There is much more than just carnival rides and funnel cakes at the fair, though. This year, the fair has added some rst time attractions including a traveling rain forest and Burning Man exhibit

death from a heart attack. He ascended to acting mayor but two days later was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated hours after a memorial service for Ahmad. Klein blew a .08 on a breathalyzer but a blood test would later pinpoint his blood alcohol level at .07, leading to the District Attorneys Ofce to not le charges. The evening before that announcement, however, Klein removed himself from consideration as mayor at a City Council meeting which ended without anybody being chosen. Kleins proposal that Councilman Randy Royce become mayor failed, the remaining four members opted to install a fth member
out of respect for the City Council and the city. Lewis was unanimously appointed to the council last Monday from a pool of 11 candidates, including one other former mayor and multiple previous candidates. Lewis, a 22-year San Carlos resident, is a producer and director with Pixar, but is currently between projects. Lewis served on the council from 2005 to 2009 and his departure made way for Kleins uncontested run for ofce. In his appointment interview, Lewis promised ice cream for the children of San Carlos, Royce recalled for the crowd as an example of his thoughtfulness. Lewis said they just need to pick a date.

with one elementary school and two miniparks, according to the 1992 Park and Open Space Master Plan. Belmont acquired the one-acre parcel for a park during a condominium development project on Davey Glen Road just west of El Camino Real. Within a half-mile radius around the park site there is .34 acres of developed park land per 1,000 residents. The standard is three to ve acres per 1,000 residents, according to a staff report by Parks and Recreation Director Jonathan Gervais. The Parks and Recreation
ly need to be subsidized by grants or donations, according to the staff report. If, however, the city cannot nd the extra $185,000 to pursue option two in the next six months to a year, it will pursue a third less expensive option. Option three includes moving the play structure for children into the level grassy park area that will shrink the parks usable area considerably. The third option is estimated to cost about $486,000, $36,000 more than the Parks and Recreation Department has budgeted for the project. Davey Glen has a contoured terrain, downhill slope and has a grove of eucalyptus trees. The City Council meets 7:30 p.m., tonight, City Hall, 1 Twin Pines Lane, Belmont.
