Kevin Skelly, who has been selected as thenew superintendent of San Mateo Union HighSchool District, has been offered a contractthat will pay him a base annual salary of$275,000 for 225 days of service, accordingto a district report.

The board is expected toconsider a three-year con-tract agreement for Skellyat its meeting Tuesday,

May 12.Should the board and Skelly agree to the

contract, he would begin work at the highschool district July 1.

As traffic congestion becomes anincreasing headache for anyone driv-ing on Highway 101 during rush hour,Caltrans has implemented meteringlights at all San Mateo County south-bound ramps north of State Route 92in an attempt to ease flow and promotesafer merging.

Yet the lights, which took effect thisweek, are doing little to improve SanMateo’s already problematic intersec-

tion at Poplar Avenue and the freeway— a long-standing trouble spot that’sslated for improvements next year.

A day in the life of Mills High School

string quartet members will be getting bet-ter as they come together for somethingspecial during a performance at the FoxTheatre in Redwood City.

Janice Song, Michael Chang, Ashley Taiand Kailee Santos will join Abbey Road, agroup recognized for covering the Beatles,to p erform “In My Life,” a musical retellingof the band’s story through the eyes of itsmanager Brian Epstein.

With Chang and Song on violin, Tai onviola and Santos on cello, the quartet willplay the orchestral portions of “EleanorRigby,” “Yesterday,” “A Day In The Life,”“Hello Goodbye” and “Hey J ude,” alo ngs ideAbbey Road during the show Friday, May15.

Doug Miner, director of the hig h scho ol’sorchestra, said the goal of the performance

is to capture the feel of the music of theBeatles.

“The idea is t o reproduce the so und of theoriginal recordings as closely as possible,”he said.

Chang, a sop homore who has been play-ing the violin for seven years, said themusic for the performance is easier than th eclassical pieces he is used to playing.

But channeling the spirit of the Beatlescan be difficult, he said.

“It’s very simple compared to mos t of themusic we play,” he said. “But it’s sti ll pret-ty challenging to evoke the emotion thateach song tries to express.”

The performance will be the second thatthe Mills High School orchestra has been

used in such a capacity, following a rockconcert collaborati on with t he same produc-tion company four years ago, said Miner.

In My Life will include multimedia ele-ments, costumes from the period and vin-tage i nstruments.

Miner said the performance is a uniqueopportunity for fans of the Beatles to seewhat would resemble a live show becausethe band stopped touring in 1966.

“This is what it would have been like if

they con tinued to perform live, ” said Miner.Miner said he believes th e performance is

a chance for his students to gain an educa-tion o n one of t he most influential bands of the past century.

“I think from a historical perspective,this i s a goo d opportunity for this genera-tion to keep a connection to historical popmusic,” he said. “It’s a history lesson, aswell as a performance oppo rtunity.”

Chang said he is not a devout fan of the

Beatles, but does enjoy their music, espe-cially “Hey J ude.”

The touring company putting on theshow typically tries to partner with local

string quartets for their concerts.The performance by the string quartetcontinues the growing resume of diversevenues that the orchestra has played.

Students have performed the StarSpangled Banner at AT&T Park before SanFrancisco Giants home games, as well asconcerts as Disneyland, Christmas treelighting s in Millbrae and a variety of oth erunique settings.

“I look for things that are interesting anda litt le out of the ordinary,” said Miner.

Chang said he appreciates the opportuni-ty t o perform music from outside of the quar-tet’s usual repertoi re.

“I’m really looking forward to playing.It’s one of our first avant-garde gigs,” hesaid. “Apart from classical, we haven’t actu-ally exp erienced any new music, s o thi s will

be a very different exp erience for us.”Chang said the rest of the quartet agrees,and feels honored both to be selected toplay alongside professionals, but also tohave a chance to perform songs from one of the most famous bands in modern history.

“Everyone is looking forward to this,especially because it is the Beatles,” hesaid. “It’s an honor and a privilege to playthe music of the Beatles.”

The Mills High School string quartet willperform “In My Life: A musical t heatre trib-ute to the Beatles, ” with Abbey Ro ad at theFox Theatre in Redwood City on Friday,May 15. Tickets are $35-55. Visitwww.foxrwc.com for more information, orcall 369-7770.

SACRAMENTO — The California stateSenate is advancing legislation to end theuse of grand juries to investigate policeshootings or cases of alleged excessiveforce by police.

The move comes after high-profile casesnationwide in which grand juries decidednot to bring criminal charges against lawenforcement officers who killed unarmedblack men.

The secret nature of grand jury delibera-

tions often seems unfair, particularly whenthe outcome seems to conflict with witnessaccounts or videotaped evidence, said Sen.Holly Mitchell , D-Los Angeles.

Recent cases of Latino and black menbeing killed by police has been alarmingand “growing at a sickening pace,” addedSenate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles.

“Quite frankly, no o ne kno ws what’s hap-pening,” de Leon said of the grand juryprocess.

Grand juries are compo sed of citizens who

weigh evidence presented by prosecutorsbehin d closed doors. Mitch ell said prosecu-tors can instead rely on public preliminaryhearings before judges, who determine if there is enough evidence to support crimi-nal charges.

Senators approved her bill, SB227, with

a 23-12 vote Thursday, sending it to theAssembly.

Several Republicans spoke against themeasure.

“Are we fixing someth ing th at’s broke, orare we just responding to emotion?” askedSen. J im Nielsen, R-Gerber.

WATERTOWN, S.D. — President RichardNixon did it in less than three years.President George H.W. Bush completed it inone t erm. President Barack Obama has nowmatched their feat by visiting SouthDakota, h is 5 0th s tate, on Friday.

It took him nearly 6 1/2 years.

“I am thrilled to be here,” Obama said,opening his commencement address forLake Area Technical In stit ute and promotin g

his proposal for free community college. “Ihave now been to all 50 states as presidentand I was saving the best for last.

“To the other 49, I hope you take nooffense,” he added. He’s n ow the fo urth pres-ident to set foot in every U.S. state.

Lake Area Tech is amon g th e nation ’s topcommunity colleges, recognized for rigor-ously p reparing st udents an d for a two-yeargraduation rate that’s higher than thenational average. Obama said communitycollege education should be available toeveryone, j ust like K-12 education, becausethe schools p lay such an important role inpreparing students for the high-skilled,technical jo bs o f the future.

“As a country we can’t afford to let anystriving American be priced out of the edu-cation t hey need to get ahead,” he said.

In just two years, community collegeslike Lake Area Tech can change lives,

change careers and benefit their communi-ties, Obama said. The graduates inspiredhim, he said.

“That’s why I came here today, to this lit-tle tiny school in a little tiny town,” hesaid.

Obama had traveled to 46 states by thestart of the year, leaving four reliablyRepublican states on the to-visit list.

Trips t o Idaho and South Carolina — t woof those remaining — were quicklyarranged, fol lowed by Utah.

Obama had been to South Dakota before

Friday’s stop, but that came in 2008 whenhe was campaigning for president. Lastyear, he spoke in North Dakota at theStanding Rock Indian Reservation thatstraddles South Dakota.

Bill Clinton was the other president tovisit every state while in office.

WASHINGTON — ACT test takers takenote: The No. 2 pencil is losin g its cachet.Greater numbers of high school studentswill be able to take the college entranceexam on a computer next year.

The ACT announced Friday that computer-based testing will be available next year inthe 18 states and additional districts thatrequire students, typically juniors, to takethe ACT during th e school day. About 1 mil-lion students could be affected.

But don’t throw away those pencils yet.

Participating schools provide the com-puters for testin g, and ACT officials s ay it’stoo early to predict how many schools willbe ready next year to offer the online test-ing. Even where computer-based testing isavailable, ACT officials said the traditionalpaper test will stil l be an option .

The announcement follows a two-yearpilot project that allowed about 10,000high school students to take the college-placement exam by computer, laptop ortablet.

The ACT said it’s not making computer-

based testing available on its traditionalSaturday morning test dates l argely becauseof the number of computers needed.

Paul Weeks, senior vice president forclient relations at ACT, said the Iowa City,Iowa-based company is making the transi-tion to online testing “thoughtfully andgradually,” so that all stakeholders can beassured that t est scores on the computerizedversion are comparable to the paper ver-sion, which has been offered since 1959.

What won’t change? The familiar 36-point scale and the amount of time it takes

for students to find out their scores, whichis usually between two weeks and twomonths.

“There is no difference between the testsexcept that it’s online and that was reallyimportant to us,” said Kaitlynn Griffith,ACT’s program director.

The move to online testing is a reflectionof the evolv ing ways students learn in class-rooms and the ease at which they use com-puters. ACT is far from alone in maki ng th etransition to computer-based testing.

Next year, the College Board has said itwill roll out the new version of the compet-ing SAT college entrance exam and makecomputer-based testing an option.

LOS ANGELES — A cold sprin g sto rm leftsome California mountains coated Fridaywith the kin d of snowfalls t hat winter large-ly failed to deliver, while scattered down-pours doused other parts of the drought-stricken state.

The hit-and-miss sy stem blank eted patch-es of t he Sierra Nevada in white, and a Maysnow day shuttered schools in the Rim of the World district atop the San BernardinoMountains east o f Los Angeles.

Several inches fell in tiny Lee Vining, atown with about 200 people at 6,700 feet

just eas t of Yosemite Natio nal Park .“It’s more than we got all winter!” said

Leslie Rangel, who works at Nicely’srestaurant. The snow was heavy and wet, butit was not likely to stick around longbecause temperatures were rising fast, shesaid.

In the San Bernardino range, preschoolteacher Karen Day said the weather turnedwindy and cold overnight in RunningSprings, and the community woke up to 3

inches of snow — enough for children tobuild a snowman.

“We didn’t think we’d get this much — wethought maybe a dusting,” she said.

The low-pressure system began movingsouth through California on Thursday,bringing snow to parts of the Sierra, wherepeaks that normally hold a vast water sup-

ply h ave been devoid of a signi ficant snow-pack after anot her dry year.

More than a foot of snow fell in someareas south of U.S. 50, according to theNational Weather Service office inSacramento.

That’s the general area where Gov. JerryBrown stood April 1 in dry brown grass atwhat would normally be a s nowpack depth-measuring site and ordered mandatory waterrestrictions because of the yearslongdrought.

This week’s dousing, however, will notease the state’s worsening water shortagebut it did extend the ski season at oneEastern Sierra resort.

After getting a foot of new snow byFriday morning, Mammoth Mountain can-celed plans to wrap up the seaso n with finalruns Sunday afternoon. The resort said the

season will continue for a week and maybelonger.

In the San Bernardino Mountain s, h owev-er, the new snow forced the Snow Summitski area to pos tpon e Friday’s scheduled startof its summer program of mountain bikingand scenic lift rides to May 15.

In Southern California, the National

Weather Service said up to 6 i nches o f snowfell in the mountains and rainfall totalsranged widely from a few tenths of an inchto more than 1 inch.

Paul Caballero, 53, took a break from hiswork as a repairman in San Diego to strollin the rain past empty seaside restaurantsFriday.

WORLD8 Weekend • May 9-10, 2015 THE DAILY JOURNAL

By Paul Larson

MILLBRAE –

(This was first

published in 2010,

but it’s currently

needed again with

updated details)… Attacks from a

number of out ofstate cremation corporations have been

waged upon our local and well respected

mortuaries. By now many of you reading

this article have been targeted by the flood

of junk advertising being spread across the

Peninsula & Bay Area by these cremation

outfits that use deceptive language to spread

their misleading message. It’s no secret that

“societies” such as the Trident-Neptune

Corporation are using scare tactics to sway

consumers when they are most vulnerable.

Their mailings, which are many times

disguised as friendly notes, use falsehoods

to imply that their business practice “just

makes sense” or is “much less expensive”

luring in unsuspecting consumers. Their

shrewdly worded letters which use

implications such as “fancy and expensive

funeral home”, “falling victim to pressure to

overspend”, “spending your family’s

inheritance” or “up-selling” are crafted to

imply some sort of dishonesty. Also, an

alluring enticement to “WIN” is flaunted

with tempting instructions to “include your

phone number” & key personal data.

The truth is that these “societies” are no

more than wealthy competitors to your

locally owned mortuary, and their costs are

not only comparable, but many times

MORE expensive than what your local

mortuary offers. I’ve had families come to

me at the Chapel of the Highlands with

stories of being seduced by certain

“cremation societies” with talk of lower

costs and other persuasive language. Tales

of unimpressive staff and meetings in

bunker-like facilities are common. After

comparing local mortuaries & cremation

costs it was discovered that a mortuary’s

total balance can be similar or even LOWER

than these “societies”. Families have

realized that it would have been much more

comforting if they had called the Chapel of

the Highlands first. Our Chapel is wellexperienced and has been highly regarded

for assisting families with low cost

cremations… decades before cremation-only

corporations ever existed. We are also a full

service facility offering our Chapel for

Memorial Services if desired.

My advice if you ever wish to

investigate cremation:

Do your homework and call your locally

owned mortuary first to compare costs

along with reports on good reputation;

Don’t let cremation societies’ message

of being “much less expensive” or offers

to “WIN” fool you;

Don’t turn over your phone # or personal

info to un-requested cremation solicitors;

If you must use a “cremation society”

find out where they are headquartered

and about any prior or active lawsuits.

Thank you for reading my rebuttal. It

bothers me that these “societies” are openly

using misleading language and making

blanket implications about mortuaries.

Their tactics are unwarranted and my only

desire is for the truth to be known.

If you ever wish to discuss cremation,

funerals or make pre-planning arrangements

please feel free to call me and my staff at the

CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in

Millbrae at (650) 588-5116. We will guide

you in a fair and helpful manner. You may

Unexpected triumphmeans Cameron cangovern U.K. on his ownBy Danica Kirka

and Jill LawlessTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — After years of shar-ing power, David Cameron pulledoff an unexpected election triumphthat gave the Conservative primeminister a second term with an out-right majority Friday and dealt astinging defeat to his three mainrivals.

Standing before the glisteningblack door of 10 Downing Street,Cameron pledged to govern as theparty of “one nation, one UnitedKingdom.” But he faces a fracturedBritain — divided by ri ch and poor,by separatist gains in Scotland andby doubts over its place in theEuropean Union.

The election ushers in a new erain British politics, with veteranlawmakers ousted by a public thatmade clear it had lost trust in itspolitical leaders. The victorsincluded a 20-year-old Scottishnationalist who beat out a seniorLabour Party l eader in Scotland.

It was also unexpected. Polls hadpredicted a dead heat — a result th atwould have meant days of hagglingto form a new government. QueenElizabeth II was out of town at hercastle in Windsor, and needed torush back to London for the tradi-tional meeting at BuckinghamPalace in which t he victor o ffers toform a government.

By the time Cameron met the

monarch all three of his major

rivals had resigned: Ed Miliband of the Labour Party, Nick Clegg o f theLiberal Democrats and NigelFarage of the U.K. IndependenceParty.

For the losers, Cameron offeredsympathy. “Elections can b e bruis-ing clashes of ideas and arguments,and a lot of people who believeprofoundly in public service haveseen that service cut short,” hesaid.

The surprising outcome merelyunderscored how much things havechanged — that there is now a newunpredictability in British poli-tics. The idea of two big partiessquabbling o ver the spoils i s over.There are new players — and someare very young. Some don’t evenwant a United Kingdom at all.

“For the new government, it isnot possible to carry on businessas usual,” said Murray Pittock, aprofessor at the University of Glasgow. “Such a course is not asustainable or good course toensure the survival of the UK.”

With th e Conservatives winningan outright majority in the 650-seat House of Commons, the resultlooked to be far better for Cameronthan even his own party had fore-seen. With all the votes counted,the Conservatives had 331 seats toLabour’s 232.

But th e new ruling class inh eritsa country divided by negative cam-paigning and infighting about the

future. Fought largely over theeconomy, the race revolved aroundthe question of whether theConservative-led governmentcharted the right course through th eaftermath of the 2008 economiccrisis, the worst recession sincethe 1930s.

Cameron argued his party neededtime to cement its successes afterfive years of budget cuts designedto shrink the deficit and bolstergrowth. His primary opponent,

Miliband, focused the debate oninequality, saying the recoveryhadn’t trickled down to the poorestin this nation of 64 million.

Heaping further pressure on theworking p oor has been an influx of thousands of migrants from theEuropean Union, particularly fromthe former eastern bloc countriesthat j oined the 2 8-nation free-tradezone over the past decade. Theinflux has changed Britain, strain-ing schools, hospitals and other

public services.Cameron’s promise to hold a ref-

erendum and win concessions fromthe EU plainly resonated with v ot-ers worried that the country waslosing its grip on its borders.

The result, and Britain’s uneasewith the EU, will strengthenCameron’s hand in talks with EUleaders in Brussels, who are mind-ful of the power that Britain’sbanks and financial service indus-tries bring to the bloc.

NEW YORK — The U.S. stock mar-ket had its best day in two monthsFriday following good news about the

job market.The surge was enough t o push two o f the three major U.S indexes to gainsfor the week.

Investo rs were encouraged that U.S.employers added 223,000 jobs inApril, a solid gain suggesting that theeconomy may be recovering after astumbling start to the year.

While the jobs report is alwaysclosely watched, April’s survey gar-nered even more interest than usualafter a poor March, which had revisedfigures showing only 85,000 jobswere added to payrolls.

“I am even more convinced that theMarch report was an outlier,” PaulChristopher, an investment st rategistwith Wells Fargo Advisors. “We all

know the first quarter was a tough quar-ter. The jobs numbers needed to holdup and they did.”

The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 267.0 5 po in ts, or 1. 5 percent,to 18,191.11 Friday. The Standard &Poor’s 500 index added 28.10 points,or 1.4 percent, 2,116.10, its biggestpercentage gain since March 16. TheNasdaq composite rose 58 points, or

1.2 percent, to 5,003. 55.Both the Dow and S&P 500 ended

fractionally higher for the week, whilethe Nasdaq ended down less than 0.1percent.

The bond market had a more nuanced

take on the employment report.Investors bought bonds, pushingdown the yield on the U.S. 10-yearTreasury note to 2.14 percent from2.18 percent Thursday. That rate hadbeen as high as 2.30 percent just twodays ago, representing a big move forthat market.

Bond traders noted that while th e jobsurvey was pos itive o verall, th ere wereseveral troubling signs, includingsluggish wage growth. The disappo int-ing March number also cast doubt onhow solid the economy’s footing is . Asa result, they s aid, the Federal Reservecould hold off longer than previouslyexpected before raising interest rates.

“These numbers are starting to leadinvestors to the same conclusion that

the Fed will not lift rates through2015,” said Tom di Galoma at ED&FMan Capital.

European markets also rose sharplyafter David Cameron’s ConservativeParty won an outright majority inBritain’s Parliament, greatly reducingthe threat of political uncertaintythere.

Britain’s FTSE 100 rose 2. 3 percent,

Germany’s DAX rose 2.6 percent andFrance’s CAC 40 gained 2.5 percent.Prices for European go vernment bo ndsrose broadly, sending yields lower.

The British pound advanced sharplyagainst the dollar and euro.

“The U.K. general election result is asurprisingly market-friendly out-come,” said Vicky Redwood fromCapital Economics in London.

Visa was among the biggest gainersin th e S&P 500 and Dow. Shares in t hepayment processor jumped in late-afternoon trading after BloombergNews reported Visa is in talks to buyVisa Europe, which was split off in2007.

The price of oil rose slightly at theend of a volatile week. BenchmarkU.S. crude rose 45 cents to close at$59.39 a barrel on the New YorkMercantile Exchange. Brent crude fell15 cents Friday to close at $65.39 inLondon.

In oth er energy futures trading on the

NYMEX, wholesale gasoline rose 0.2cent to close at $1.992 a gallon, heat-ing oil fell 0.8 cent to close at $1.954a gallon and natural gas rose 14.6cents to close at $2.880 per 1,000cubic feet.

In metals trading, gold rose $6.70 to$1,188.90 an ounce, silver rose 17cents to $16.47 an ounce and copperwas little changed at $2.92 a pound.

Stocks jump the most since March

Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Friday on the NewYork Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market:NYSEAOL Inc., up $4.03 to $43.42 The Internet company’s first-quarter revenue rose on stronger advertisingsales and its results beat Wall Street forecasts.Syngenta AG, up $8.75 to $85.75 The Swiss biotechnology company rejected Monsanto Co.’s $45.5 billionbuyout offer, saying it undervalued its prospects.Nokia Corp., up 21 cents to $6.93Uber has bid up to $3 billion for the Finnish telecom company’s mappingbusiness, according to The New York Times.Yelp Inc., up $2.92 to $49.93 The online business review service reportedly may be soliciting buyoutbids amid concerns it faces tough competition for digital advertising.Nasdaq

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Post al Serviceon Friday reported a net loss of $1 .5 billion

during the first three months of this year,noting that while more people are using itsshipping and package services, it’s costlyto do an d revenues from ot her products havedeclined.

The Postal Service is an independentagency that receives no tax dollars for itsday-to-day operations but is subject to con-gressional control. It has asked to end mostSaturday deliveries, a request that wasblocked by Congress amid opposition by

postal unions and others.According to its latest financial state-

ment, which covers Jan. 1 through March31, the Postal Service sent 420 million

fewer pieces of mail compared to the sameperiod last year. First-class mail fell by 2.1percent and standard mail by 1.1 percent.But a 14 .4 percent increase in shipping andpackage volume contributed to a slightuptick — 1.3 percent — in operating rev-enue.

That $22 3 million increase in operatingrevenue, however, was tempered by highoperating expenses. The Postal Servicesays it found some relief because of a

decline in workers’ compensation cost thatquarter. But th e Postal Service said it’s stil ldealing with “higher compensation costsfrom growth in the labor-intensive ship-

ping and package business, as well as high-er retirement contribution rates” mandatedby the go vernment.

“Shippi ng and package services are a keybusiness driver. However, operating mar-gins in this business are lower than in mail-ing services,” Joseph Corbett, the PostalService’s chief financial officer, said in astatement. “And, whil e we’re pleased to seea small increase in controllable income, toimprove our margins, we’ll need to make

investments in our network infrastructureand delivery vehicles.”

The National Association of LetterCarriers said the figures show that the

Postal Service is turning itself aroundbecause of an increase in “controllableincome.” Con trollabl e income excludes cer-tain factors i ncluding a requirement th at thePostal Service prefund retiree health bene-fits.

If the retiree health benefit prefundingexpense was excluded, the net loss wouldhave been only $44 million. That would becompared to a loss of $447 million duringthe same period last year.

WASHINGTON — Federal health officialssaid Friday that they were never told of repeated findings of listeria at a Blue BellCreameries facility before an outbreaklinked to the ice cream turned deadly.

Results of a Food and Drug Adminis trationinvest igatio n released this week showed thecompany had found 17 positive samples of listeria on surfaces and floors in itsOklahoma plant dating back to 2013. TheFDA said Friday that it “was not aware of these findings” before doing its owninspection this year in response to the out-break.

The outbreak — and the FDA’s lack of knowledge of the bacteria found in the pl ant

— is a stark illustration of gaps in thenation’s food safety system. Food contami-nation often isn’t discovered until people

get sick or die.In the outbreak linked to Blue Bell, three

people died in a Kansas hospital and sevenothers were sickened in Kansas, Texas,Oklahoma and Arizona.

The FDA said it isn ’t uncommon for co m-panies not to report findings of listeria orother pathogens. Companies are onlyrequired to report to the FDA if they find a“reasonable probability” that a food couldmake people sick. Blue Bell’s listeria sam-ples were found on surfaces and not in theice cream, and the compan y hadn’t tested tosee if the listeria strains found were amongthose that are the most dangerous.

The FDA said it i s common for a company

to take corrective action — sanitizing andcleaning — without doing further testing if the pathogen isn’t found in the food itself.

“Altho ugh Blue Bell’s test ing did identifylisteria, the company did not further identi-fy the strain to determine if it was patho-genic,” FDA spokeswoman Lauren Suchersaid.

The company eventually recalled all of it sproducts after tests sh owed list eria in its i cecream last month.

A sweeping food safety law passed byCongress in 2010 sought to prevent suchongoing contamination by requiring com-panies to do more testing, put detailed foodsafety plans in place and take more preven-tive measures to keep pathogens, especiallydeadly bacteria like listeria, from gettinginto food.

FDA unaware of listeria at Blue Bell before outbreak


SAN FRANCISCO — A woman and a ven-ture capital firm at th e center of a high-pro-file Sili con Valley g ender bias lawsuit arenow fighting ov er legal costs.

Attorneys for plaintiff Ellen Pao, wholost the case, filed court documents Fridayobjecting to more than $970,000 in legalcosts sought by Kleiner Perkins Caufield &Byers.

The costs are excessive and improper, andKleiner Perkins would have to prove thatPao’s case was frivolous or malicio us to col-lect the money, which is not true, her attor-

ney Alan Exelrod wrote.Kleiner Perkins’

spokeswoman ChristinaLee declined comment onPao’s filing. The firm hasoffered to waive all legalcosts if Pao does not pur-sue an appeal.

The case became aflashpoint in an ongo-ing discussion about

To the beach! AAA sees mostholiday travelers in 10 years

With more money in their pockets thanksto lower gas prices and an improved job mar-ket, AAA expects more than 37 millionAmericans to travel for Memorial Day, themost since 2005.

AAA said Friday that the number of Americans takin g a trip of 50 miles or morewill rise 4.7 percent to 37.2 milli on over theperiod May 21 to May 25. Nearly ni ne of 10travelers, or 33 million, will drive to theirdestinatio n, making for crowded highways.

Gasoline should be around $1 cheaper thisMemorial Day. The average price for a gallonof gas Friday was $2.66. Last year on theholiday it was $3.66.

AAA says the number of people flyingshould rise 2.5 percent. A thriving stockmarket has b oosted the net worth of wealthi-er Americans, who more easily can afford to

fly for vacation.The economy is strong enough to giveconsumers more confidence to travel.Employers added 223,00 0 j obs in April aftera slow start to the year. Last year, job growthaveraged 226,000 a month. Although wagegrowth is sluggish at 2.2 percent, combinedwith lower gas prices it does give consumersmore dispos able income.

AAA is suggesting cabin fever may play arole as well.

“Following a harsh winter, manyAmericans are trading in th eir snow boot s forflip flops and making plans to start the sea-son with a v acation getaway,” said MarshallL. Doney, AAA’s president, in a statement.

SAN FRANCISCO — With his old Marlinsteammates standing in the opposite dugoutand his wife and children in the ballpark tosupport him, Casey McGehee received hisPlayers Choi ce NL Comeback Player of th eYear award. That reminded San Francisco’sstruggling third baseman how far he hascome, from New York t o Jap an to Miami andon t o th e Bay Area.

One mighty swing helped lift his spi ritsin a big way, too.

McGehee hit the firstgrand slam of h is career,Tim Lincecum struck outa season-best eight bat-ters, and the Giants beatthe Marlins 6-0 onFriday night.

“It’s a reminder you’veovercome adversitybefore and keep doingwhat you do,” McGehee

said. “I didn’t come out of it by pouting.”Lincecum (3-2) ran his scoreless innings

streak to 15 to win back-to-back starts for

the first time this season. He struck outGiancarlo Stanton on a changeup with thebases loaded to end the fifth, sparking thetwo-time NL Cy Young Award winner topump his right arm in triumph and yell. Heimmediately told manager Bruce Bochy hewanted another inning, and pitched a 1-2-3sixt h before givin g way to Yusmeiro Petit.

“It was just a big situation,” Lincecumsaid. “I was pretty excited. It’s just an emo-tional setting.”

Brandon Belt doubled among his season-high four hits as San Francisco bouncedback from a 7-2 loss i n the op ener. He raised

his average 34 points to . 308.McGehee came into the game batting just.178, was hitless i n his previous eight at-batsand 8 for 56 with only one RBI in his previo us18 games. His slow start prompted managerBruce Bochy to give him a mental break thisweek as Matt Duffy did well in his spot .

“I’ve proven I can hit in this league, I’veproven I can be productive in this league,”McGehee said.

Lauren Berriatua dominated in the circle in CSM’s Super Regional opener Friday against WestValley. The sophomore fired a one-hit shutout while not allowing the ball to ever leave the infieldas the Lady Bulldogs rolled to a 7-0 win, improving their season record to 38-0.

By Terry BernalDAILY JOURNAL STAFF

While Lauren Berriatua didn’t throw a per-fect game, she achieved a different type of perfection in Friday’s Super Regional soft-ball opener at the College of San Mateo.

Berriatua fired a one-hit shutout to lead theNo. 2-seed Lady Bulldogs (38-0) to a 7-0win over No. 10 West Valley (30-8). Whatwas perfect about her outing was her abilit yto keep the ball on the infield. The sopho-more struck out 10 and recorded 10 ground-outs. The only flyout in the game was afifth-inning liner to third.

The only hit Berriatua allowed was aswinging bunt up the first base line thatWest Valley’s Kimberly Showalter leggedout for a bang-bang safe call at first base.Along with a sixth-inning walk toShowalter, Berriatua faced 23 batters, nonewho managed to hit the ball to the outfield.

What was just as impressive is none of Berriatua’s CSM teammates seemed sur-prised at her dominant performance, espe-cially her outfielders who were, in essence,

the three spectators with the best seats inthe house for the pitching gem.“We’re used to it, not getting anything,”

CSM center fielder Brittney Wilkerson said.“We’re ready for anything coming our way,but we’re just t here for backup.”

The Bulldogs’ infield was a different mat-ter. Berriatua worked at a quick tempo toretire the first eight batters she faced. Afterthe two-out single in the third, she set downeight more in a row, including the closestWest Valley’s offense came to reaching t heoutfield, a soft liner down the third-base lineoff the bat of Jennifer Amaral that thirdbaseman Kacy Edwards nabbed with a back-hand.

SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco hasbecome the first city in the nation to outlawchewing tobacco from its playing fields,incl uding AT&T Park, home t o t he SanFrancisco Giants.

Players and the manager of the teamexpressed support for the ordinance signedinto law by Mayor Ed Lee on Friday but alsoconcern about breaking the chewing habit.

The ordinance, which will take effect Jan.

1, prohibits the use of smokeless tobacco atathletic venues, specifi-cally singling out base-ball, which has a longhistory of players masti-cating and spittingtobacco juice in view of children who worshipthem.

“It’s a step in the rightdirection,” said Giants manager BruceBochy, who has chewed tobacco on and off

for decades but quit at one point with helpfrom a hypnotist.

“It’s a tough deal for some of these play-ers who have grown up playing with it andthere are so many triggers in the game,”Bochy added. “I certainly don’t endorse it.With my two sons, the one thing I askedthem is don’t ever start dipping.”

The San Francisco o rdinance is part of anoverall push by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, based in Washington, D.C.,which targeted the city and California topromote its anti-smoking efforts. An even

more expansive bill outlawing all tobaccouse, including electronic cigarettes andsmokeless tobacco, wherever an organizedgame of baseball is played in California ismaking its way through the Assembly.

“Today, San Francisco entered the historybooks as th e first city to take tobacco out of baseball. The home of the world championGiants has set an example that all of MajorLeague Baseball and the rest of the countryshould quickly follow,” said Matthew L.

Having recently completed his first yearat the helm of the Westmoor baseball team,Vic Messer is hopi ng h e’s found a home.

For Messer, taki ng a new post has b ecomesomething of a habit. Over the past four

years, he has managed four different teams,starting in 20 12 with the El Camino frosh-soph team. He was promoted to the ElCamino varsity helm in 2013 to take overfor longtime coach Carlos Roman, beforemoving to Westmoor in 2014.

Last year, Messer coached the frosh-sophRams. This year he took over the varsitysquad. And while it wasn’t exactly a dreamseason, Messer made a point of finishingthe year strong.

The strong finish didn’t show up in the wincolumn. The Rams closed the season on a four-game losing streak, winning just two overallgames all year to finish in last place in thePeninsula Athletic League Lake Division .

Despite the team’s struggles, Messerremained an upbeat voice echoing from thedugout until th e last out in each game.

“It’s always tough for the kids to kind of battle through the seasons that we have his-torically,” Messer said. “Coaching at ElCamino was a dream job for me. It’s obvi-ously different over at Westmoor. But I want-ed to keep it going from the coaches whocame before me.”

Messer took over for Kevin Brady, whomanaged the Rams for seven seasons.During his tenure, Brady posted a careerrecord of 49-12 0-1, including a winless sea-son in 201 3. In 2014, however, he finishedstrong, matching the best league record of his career with a 6-6 mark.

ALAMEDA — Amari Cooper has beenpreparing for his firs t NFL practice ever sincehe was a 5-year-old in the backyard runningpatterns and catching passes from his bud-dies.

The hard work that began about 15 years

ago helped develop Cooper into one of thetop receivers in college football and thefourth overall pick in last week’s NFL draftby the Oakland Raiders.

Cooper had his first chance to validate thatselection on Friday, the opening day of theRaiders’ three-day rookie minicamp. Cooperwas joined by Oakland’s nine other draftpicks, 14 undrafted free agents, eight first-year players and several others who were try-ing o ut to make the team.

“I told the guys last night, ‘I don’t carehow you got here. Everybody here is goingto be evaluated and we will keep the playerswe think will help us win games this fall,”’coach Jack Del Rio said.

The Raiders are expecting Cooper to pro-vide the most immediate help. Cooper isconsidered one of the most polished

receivers to come out of college in recentyears and figures to i nst antly become quarter-back Derek Carr’s top optio n in t he passinggame.

Cooper will have towait a week and a half tostart practicing with Carrat the start of OTAs. Hecaught passes Friday fromNevada undrafted freeagent Cody Fajardo andSacramento State’sGarrett Safron, who was

trying o ut for the team.Cooper flashed some of the skil ls t hat made him so successful in col-lege, bursting past seventh-round pickDexter McDonald at one point to catch a deeptouchdown pass from Fajardo.

“It went exactly how I thought it wouldgo,” Cooper said. “It went pretty good. Imade a couple of plays. We looked good outthere as a team.”

Cooper led the nation with 124 catcheslast season in the tough SEC and ranked sec-ond with 1,7 27 y ards receiving and 16 touch-down catches. In three years with theCrimson Tide, Cooper had 228 catches for3,46 3 y ards and 31 touchdowns.

He credits his polish as a receiver to thefact that he has played the position hi s entirelife. Cooper said he started working on run-

ning routes as a 5-year-old when he was justtrying to get open i n backyard games.

Those skill s developed even more when heremained at receiver in Pop Warner and he has

stayed with the positi on.“He’s going to be a good player,” Del Rio

said. “He’s just coming in getti ng s tarted likeall the rest of t hem. He’s a young man transi-tionin g in to th e league. There’s a lo t of workto do. It’s go od to have hi m here and partici-pating.”

Carr will also have a more familiar optionto work with i n hi s former college teammate

at Fresno State, Jo sh Harper, who signed asan undrafted free agent. Harper’s ol der sister,Qiava, is the vice president of premium seat-ing and services.

Harper formed quite a connection in col-lege with Carr, catching 79 passes for 1, 011yards and 13 touchdowns in 2013.

“One of Derek’s buddies. Derek was h appyabout that,” Del Rio said. “We did not discussthat with him prior to getti ng him here. But Iknow he was happy to have him joi n us. He’sa guy who has some return ability, under-stands a little bit how to create separationand get open and has good hands. We’re gladto have him in camp.”

Notes: The Raiders announced the signi ngsof 12 other undrafted free agents besidesHarper and Fajardo: DBs Rob Daniel, JimmyHall, Tevin McDonald and Terrell Pinson;

LBs J acoby Hale, Braylon Mitchell and Jos hShirley; OL Quinterrius Eatmon; TE GabeHolmes; RB Gus Johnson; DT Leon Orr; andWR Milton Williams.
