GETTING THE ‘W’

Morgan Genser news@smdp.com Santa Monica High School’s boys' volleyball team celebrates a comeback victory over Crossroads on Saturday in the quarterfinals of the California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section Division 4 playoffs. Samohi won in five games, 23-25, 14-25, 25-20, 25-21 and 159. The Vikings advance to face Campbell Hall on Tuesday at home. The winner goes on to the final.

JUDY LIN SACRAMENTO, Calif. California’s budget deficit has swelled to a projected $16 billion — much larger than had been predicted just months ago — and will force severe cuts to schools and public safety if voters fail to approve tax increases in November, Gov. Jerry Brown said Saturday.

The Democratic governor said the shortfall grew from $9.2 billion in January in part because tax collections have not come in as high as expected and the economy isn’t growing as fast as hoped for. The deficit has also risen because lawsuits and federal requirements have blocked billions of dollars in state cuts.

“This means we will have to go much farther and make cuts far greater than I asked for at the beginning of the year,” Brown said in an online video. “But we can’t fill this hole with cuts alone without doing severe damage to our schools. That’s why I’m bypassing the gridlock and asking you, the people of California, to approve a plan that avoids cuts to schools and public safety.”

Brown did not release details of the newly calculated deficit Saturday, but he is expected to lay out a revised spending plan Monday.

The new plan for the fiscal year that starts July 1 hinges in large part on voters approving higher taxes.

The governor has said those tax increases

are needed to help pull the state out of a crippling decade shaped by the collapse of the housing market and recession. Without them, he warned, public schools and colleges, and public safety, will suffer deeper cuts.

“What I’m proposing is not a panacea, but it goes a long way toward cleaning up the state’s budget mess,” Brown said.

Democrats, who control the Legislature, have resisted Brown’s proposed cuts so far this year. Republican lawmakers criticized the majority party for building in overly optimistic tax revenues.

“Today’s news underscores how we must rein in spending and let our economy grow by leaving overburdened taxpayers alone,” said

Seventeen years ago, two men met on the side of Pacific Coast Highway to discuss the future.

That day, Al Friedenberg had been offered the principal position at Grant Elementary School and was driving along PCH to his home in Thousand Oaks. Phil Cott, his best friend since eighth grade and now colleague, was heading the opposite direction from his job leading Webster Elementary back to West Los Angeles.

In the days before hands-free devices the two coordinated their opposite drives and pulled over to the side of the road to celebrate their good fortune and what Cott believes was one of the best decisions the Santa MonicaMalibu Unified School District could have made.

Almost two decades later, the journey begun that day on the side of the road is coming to an end. Friedenberg announced his plans to quit the district for other ventures, leaving behind both a school that parents and colleagues say is

Plan to cut tube wear falls short at nuke site MICHAEL R. BLOOD Associated Press

LOS ANGELES A $670 million overhaul at California’s San Onofre nuclear plant was expressly intended to avoid the types of ailments that have sidelined its twin reactors.

An overriding goal for a team of engineers who worked on steam generators installed at the plant in 2009 and 2010 was minimizing wear and tear on the nearly 40,000 tubes that carry radioactive water inside the massive machines. Customized design and manufacturing promised years of reliable service for a plant that can power 1.4 million homes in Southern California.

But the opposite happened.

San Onofre’s twin reactors have been idle for more than three months in the midst of a federal probe into what went wrong with hundreds of tubes that snake through the generators. Some were so eroded after a brief run in operation they can no longer function safely.

Less than a month before a tube break in January prompted Southern California Edison to take the plant offline, engineers writing in a trade magazine touted a series of modifications to the generators that they believed would improve the plant’s dependability and longevity.

The first goal listed: reducing tube wear.

The article, published in Nuclear Engineering International, provides a detailed account of what the company was attempting to achieve with the new generators, and leaves a gaping question.

How did a design intended to reduce tube wear in numerous ways in this case increase it, in some cases rapidly?

Company spokeswoman Jennifer Manfre declined to comment on the cause of the unusual tube wear, saying an Edison analysis will be completed in time “according to engineering principles and science, not guessing or assumptions.”

The magazine article — written by a toplevel Edison nuclear engineer, Boguslaw Olech, and Tomoyuki Inoue of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which manufactured the equipment — recounts the history of the original generators, which were pulled out of the plant more than a decade short of their expected lifespan of 40 years.

They were suffering from excessive tube wear, cracking and severe corrosion of supports that hold them in place. If too many tubes become worn and damaged, generators can become unsafe to operate and risk a potential tube break, which could release

that it is happening this early is a testament

LOS ANGELES “The Avengers” is taking a to a lot of work that went in on the Marvel page out of Superman’s comic book — flying faster than a speeding bullet to the billion-dollar mark at the box office.

The superhero blockbuster took in $103.2 million to lead for a second-straight weekend, raising its domestic total to $373.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

With $95.4 million more overseas, “The Avengers” lifted its international receipts to $628.9 million and a worldwide haul of just over $1 billion, only 19 days after it began rolling out in some markets.

“You never think that it can happen this quickly,” said Dave Hollis, head of distribution for Disney, whose Marvel Studios unit produced the ensemble film after a long buildup in its solo superhero outings. “You hope you can get to this day, and the fact

side over the last six years to get us to a place where people wanted to see the Avengers assemble.”

“The Avengers” easily fended off Johnny Depp and Tim Burton’s vampire romp “Dark Shadows,” which had a so-so domestic start of $28.8 million to finish a distant No. 2.

That’s far below such past Depp-Burton collaborations as “Alice in Wonderland,” which opened with $116.1 million, and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” which debuted with $56.2 million.

“Dark Shadows” added $36.7 million in 42 overseas markets for a worldwide total of $65.5 million.

“The Avengers” was the first movie ever to pull in more than $100 million domestically in its second weekend, passing the pre-

vious best of $75.6 million for “Avatar.” The film also topped $300 million domestically Saturday after just nine days in release, beating the previous record set by “The Dark Knight,” which hit that mark in 10 days.

Already the year’s biggest hit worldwide, “The Avengers” is on the verge of passing “The Hunger Games” at $386.9 million to become the top-grossing film domestically for 2012.

Revenue for “The Avengers” was off just 50 percent from the film’s domestic debut of $207.4 million the previous weekend, a remarkable hold given how big it started.

A round-up of such Marvel idols as Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Captain America (Chris Evans) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth), “The Avengers” has shot past the revenues that its

Not a fan of the move Editor:

The plan to move [the Senior Center] to the Ken Edwards Center is an atrocity (”Council gives OK to Senior Center change,” April 26)!

Once again good judgment has been sacrificed at the alter of “experts” and staff, that mealy mouthed, obsequious bunch of overpaid flunkies that inhabit City Hall! Take your brand and shove it!

Bike lanes just for bikes Editor:

Attention runners and pedestrians!

The bike lanes in Santa Monica, particularly the ones on California and San Vicente, are for bikes only. I know you runners have all your little rules of the road and running etiquette, but nowhere in those “rules” does it say to run in the bike lane. It especially doesn’t say to run in the opposite direction of the bike lane. I know one of your little “rules” says to run into oncoming traffic, which although I think that’s stupid, it’s meant for the street and not the bike lane. You wanna run into oncoming traffic go right ahead, but there is absolutely no reason that you should be running in the bike lane.

We, as bikers, are not allowed to ride on the sidewalk so it only serves to reason that you, as pedestrians or runners, should not be able to be in the bike lane ... at all ... ever. Pretend the bike lane doesn’t exist and then that way you won’t try to use it. Once again, the bike lanes are for bikes only, hence the name of the lane. There is absolutely no argument here. Please stay out of the bike lane so that me and my kids don’t have to swerve out of your way. We shouldn’t have to, that’s why they gave us our own lane.

Favorite words Editor:

Bill Bauer makes a number of important points in his Monday column (”City Hall’s worsening traffic nightmare,” My Write, May 7). He even used one of City Hall’s favorite words “mitigate.” I assume their second favorite word, “benefits,” for all this development, will appear in next week’s column.

I feel he even understates future commercial development. In the city’s cumulative development scenario, section 3.8 there is a table, number 3.2.

This is dated Nov. 11, 2011. It listed 154 projects, both commercial and apartments and condominiums.

I added up the square footage of the commercial, but did not include hotels (807 rooms) or hospital additions.

My total was 2,387,000 square feet. This is over double the Water Garden complex, 1,237,000 square feet; four times Santa Monica Place.

The city talks of light rail, the Expo line, as helping resolve part of the traffic problems. Just the other day after the opening of the first section of the Expo line it was mentioned in the L.A. Times that only a quarter of the riders would be new ones; the rest will be switching from public transit buses.

Perhaps if the city paid more attention to LUCE, its own plan and required developers to live within those restrictions; we would have less traffic problems. Instead, exceptions to LUCE are the rule and for this we get so-called "benefits” and “mitigation.”

Bob Wolff Santa Monica

City Hall getting bad advice on traffic and planning, part 2

EDITOR IN CHIEF Kevin Herrera editor@smdp.com

MANAGING EDITOR Daniel Archuleta

THE WATERSHED POLITICAL EVENT OF

the last quarter century happened Nov. 4, 2008, when voters defeated a ballot measure to temporarily curb commercial development called Measure T or the “Residents Initiative to Fight Traffic (RIFT).”

The anti-T campaign raised over threequarters of a million dollars mostly in developer money and outspent RIFT proponents 20 to one.

Pro-development shills like Neal Payton, a principal in Silver Springs, Marylandheadquartered Torti Gallas and Partners, Inc., a “new urbanism” design firm, set up his own website "Urban Design in Santa Monica” to fight Measure T. Typical of the myths and half-truths propagated by the opponents was the garbage posted by Payton in October of 2008.

“Reducing commercial development to 75,000 square feet per year will not reduce traffic and may even increase it.” He also claimed the measure will hurt our city’s efforts to halt global warming, is biased against lower income folks, will not stop development … (and) will generate even more traffic. It “would damage the longterm viability of our city’s two major hospitals and seriously effect the ability to humanize Lincoln Boulevard and Pico ...”

He forget to mention that RIFT would make everyone sterile.

Unfortunately, this kind of nonsense and phony predictions such as “schools and public safety will be devastated if T passes” scared enough voters into voting “no” on T. That election day, those obsessed with making money, not making a better community, bought Santa Monica and we’re paying the price, now.

Fast forward three years. Torti Gallas and Partners was retained by City Hall on Sept.

27, 2011 for $655,500 to consult on the new Downtown Specific Plan. And, Payton is still making outlandish statements. Among P a y t o n ’ s r e c e n t suggestions, “rename Lincoln Boulevard because the name ‘Lincoln’ has outlived its usefulness.” Maybe “Payton Place” would be more useful?

Payton recently told surfsantamonica.com that creating “a 20foot margin between the curb and buildings fronting on Lincoln that can be used for decoration, benches, lighting, bike racks and trash receptacles would make Lincoln Boulevard an attractive place for pedestrians rather than a necessary trek for motorists.” Is he talking about Santa Monica’s most heavily traveled and congested thoroughfare?

With all this gentrification, where are the 48,000 vehicles that daily travel Lincoln south of the I-10 Freeway going? Maybe they’ll just evaporate into thin air. Surely, they won’t be shortcutting through Sunset Park and Ocean Park.

Payton predicted Lincoln could be a destination street echoing a similar statement

by Planning Commission Chair Gerda Newbold. Apparently, Payton and Newbold don’t have their cars repaired or serviced at the many neighborhood serving “mom and pops” on Lincoln like many of us do. Someone please tell Newbold there’s more to a destination street than trendy restaurants, Starbucks, hip interior

designers and chic boutiques like we already have on Montana Avenue and Main Street.

Payton also wants to reduce traffic lanes on Wilshire Boulevard between Fourth Street and Ocean Avenue. "’Wilshire Boulevard really doesn’t need the space past that point,” he said. Payton, who doesn’t believe that development contributes to traffic increases, added that the design of Wilshire Boulevard in terms of lane width is consistent all through Santa Monica.

He asked, “Do you really need all of those lanes? Creating wider walkways and more vibrant intersections along Wilshire would help pull people to the north end of the promenade, which lacks the focal point and foot traffic of its southern end.”

We’re paying good tax money for this?

No wonder traffic and congestion are the major issues.

With consultants like Payton on the payroll, it will only get worse.

Urban planning in Santa Monica has been a disaster for the past 30 years. The various Civic Center Specific Plans have been so badly bungled, forget about a "World Class” town center. It’ll always be just a mish-mash of government buildings, an outdated Civic Auditorium, a 1950sera hotel, two parking lots and RAND’s bulky corporate headquarters.

There are 318 units of tightly packed, low income and market rate housing under construction along with a $50 million park. A child care center is planned.

The Civic Center has no focus and no heart.

It’s just a hodge-podge of political agendas.

“World Class” indeed.

There’s the enhancement of Wilshire Boulevard a few years ago with planted medians similar to the ones on 23rd Street, Montana, Pico Boulevard, Fourth Street and Broadway that narrow streets, make them difficult to drive and unsafe while also contributing to traffic congestion.

Metro transit wanted to build Expo Light Rail through Santa Monica on its own elevated tracks down Olympic Boulevard. City Council preferred the center of Colorado Avenue from 19th Street to the Fourth Street terminal. Traffic lanes and some parking on Colorado will be eliminated. Cross traffic will be gridlocked as 270-foot-long trains rumble through intersections 24 times an hour during rush hours.

Another one of City Hall’s high priced, “utopian” consultants Jeffrey Tumlin, from San Francisco-based Nelson/Nygaard, warned that placing Expo elsewhere would divide the city in half. Isn’t that exactly what the Colorado alignment does?

So, why does City Hall have a love affair with these consultants — dreamers who are more interested in planting trees and decorating sidewalks than getting folks to work and school on time? It’s all a "aren’t we too cool” mindset and has nothing to do with serving the public How many more instances of rotten city planning do we have to endure before voters say, “Enough?”

MONTPELIER, Vt. Worries about health effects, privacy and cost are fueling growing opposition to wireless, digital “smart meters” that utilities around the country are installing at homes and businesses and touting as key energy conservation and grid reliability tools.

Vermont appears poised to take an unusually aggressive stance. While several states have allowed utilities to charge a fee to customers who want to opt out of smart meters, Vermont’s governor is expected soon to sign legislation that would allow customers to say no without paying anything extra, at least until more studies are completed on the real costs of not deploying the meters.

“They’re the ones who came up with this,” Sen. Robert Hartwell, D-Bennington and a leading supporter of the free opt-out, said in an interview. “The utilities didn’t really care what the ratepayers thought. So since they’re the ones who are trying to impose the new system, we think they’re the ones who should absorb the costs.”

Dorothy Schnure, spokeswoman for Vermont’s Green Mountain Power Corp., said a smart grid will enable utilities to operate in a more efficient and environmentally friendly manner. She predicted most customers would be eager to see the change.

Under Vermont’s law, the costs of customers opting out — mainly having to send a meter reader to their home or business, will be spread across all customers, rather than being paid just by those who opt out.

Other states allow opt-outs, including California, Maine, Nevada and Oregon. But Schnure and others who watch the industry closely said they were not aware of any where consumers can skip smart meters for free. California imposes a $75 fee up front plus $10 a month for opting out.

Maine Supreme Court justices on Thursday heard arguments on whether that state should allow a free opt-out. Justices questioned a lawyer for the state Public Utilities Commission on why the agency hadn’t done more to investigate the safety of smart meters before allowing them to be deployed.

Vermont joined the smart meter movement in 2008, when state officials and utility executives announced plans to deploy the devices. They said the system would allow power prices to vary at different times of the day in keeping with demand, with a resulting incentive for consumers to run powerhungry appliances like dishwashers and clothes dryers at night when demand is low.

Another benefit cited by supporters of the technology: Because the meters would allow two-way radio communication, the utility would be able to see immediately when even a single customer lost power. No one would return from vacation to find a warm freezer full of spoiled food.

Smart meters got a big boost in 2009, when the Obama administration devoted $3.5 billion of its $787 billion economic stimulus package to grants to help utilities install the new technology. Vermont utilities got $69 million of that money.

Now, consumers and some government officials across the country are starting to question the push for smart meters on multiple fronts.

One concern is over the long-term health effects of being exposed to the radio-frequency radiation emitted by the meters. The International Agency for Research on Cancer, a branch of the World Health Organization, last year called radio-frequency radiation, which is emitted by cell phones, smart meters and many other devices, as a “possible carcinogen.”

Smart meter supporters say the levels of RFRs emitted by the devices are much lower than those emitted by cell phones, and that governmental agencies have built big safety margins into emissions limits for both.

The Federal Communications Commission has rated smart meters as safe because they are considered very unlikely to cause bodily tissue heating or electric shock.

But Dr. Poki Stewart Namkung, the public health officer for Santa Cruz County in California, issued a report in January calling the FCC standards “irrelevant.”

“It says nothing about the safety from the risk of many chronic diseases that the public is most concerned about, such as cancer, miscarriage, birth defects, semen quality, autoimmune diseases, etc.,” Namkung wrote.

The Electric Power Research Institute, an industry-funded group, responded to Namkung’s report with an article citing several scientific studies saying the levels of radiation emitted by smart meters should not be a public health concern.

Growing numbers of customers have raised their own concerns. Sudi Scull testified at a California Public Utilities Commission hearing in February that she developed painful headaches and ringing in her ears after Pacific Gas & Electric installed a smart meter on her house in San Francisco’s Bernal Heights neighborhood.

The utility ultimately restored her analog meter, but she said the pain returned when smart meters were installed on her neighbors’ homes.

How do green groups feel about the new 2012 Farm Bill draft recently released by the Senate?

— Roger Wheeler Miami, FL

LIKE SO MUCH OF THE LEGISLATION

coming out of Washington, D.C., green groups are mixed on the new Farm Bill now making its way toward a floor vote. No doubt there are some conservation bright spots in the bill, but the question is: Are there enough and do they go far enough?

The non-profit Environmental Working Group (EWG) doesn’t think so.

“Unfortunately, the bill ... will do more harm than good,” says Craig Cox, an agriculture and natural resources expert at EWG. “It needlessly sacrifices conservation and feeding assistance programs to finance unlimited insurance subsidies and a new entitlement program for highly profitable farm businesses.” Cox is critical of the new bill for essentially replacing one subsidy to large successful farms (those which need it least) with another: “Rather than simply ending the widely discredited direct payment program, the Senate Agriculture Committee has created an expensive new entitlement program that guarantees most of the income of farm businesses already enjoying record profits.” He calls replacing direct payments with a revenue guarantee program “a cynical game of bait-and-switch that should be rejected by Congress.”

On the conservation side, Cox is dismayed that the draft bill fails to address “the impact of fence-row to fence-row agricultural production, which is putting unprecedented pressure on our land, water and wildlife.” EWG would like to see the bill include language forcing farmers to protect critical wetlands and grasslands, not to mention soil health in general, in exchange for getting the insurance subsidies. “In combination, a new entitlement program, unlimited secret insurance subsidies, cuts to conservation programs and high commodity prices will create powerful incentives to plow up fragile wetlands and grasslands and erase many of the environmental gains made by agriculture in recent years,” says Cox. On the plus side, Cox applauds provisions in the bill that create and expand programs supporting healthy diets and organic farmers, as well as those that seek to expand links between local farmers and consumers.“We also support efforts to reform conservation programs to get more conservation bang for the buck,” he concludes, adding that EWG hopes to

GREEN ENOUGH?: Some green groups, such as the Environmental Working Group, applaud parts of the 2012 Farm Bill that support healthy diets, organic farmers and links between local growers and consumers. But they are critical of provisions they say only continue subsidies for highly profitable farms while ignoring needed protections for wetlands, grasslands and soil health.

work with legislators on strengthening the bill’s conservation and nutrition provisions, and to place sensible limits on subsidies for highlyprofitable farms.

Another respected non-profit, American Farmland Trust (AFT), is more bullish overall on the Senate’s draft of the bill. The group likes the fact that funding for conservation programs is maintained at all, given the sour economic climate and resistance to put funds into non-emergency programs. AFT also praises the bill for its commitment to support farm and ranch land protection through a new permanent Agricultural Land Easement option which will help protect working lands and keep them in agricultural use.

“Our nation has a critical need to protect farm and ranch land,” says AFT president Jon Scholl, adding that the U.S. lost farm and ranch acreage equal to the size of Indiana over the last 30 years. “Permanent conservation easements protect agricultural land from development, safeguard local agricultural economies and help farmers and ranchers transition their land to the next generation.”

A vote on the final version of the bill could come as early as this summer.

CP FROM PAGE 1 fundamentally transformed and a pair of large shoes to fill.

THE MAN

Friedenberg, and by extension Grant Elementary, never stops moving.

He waits at the front entrance to greet kids as they enter the campus, organizes Jog-a-thons and even teaches every class in the fourth grade about law, a curriculum previously restricted to those in an advanced program.

Movie nights, a silent auction and bingo games list amongst the events that Friedenberg has attended, coordinated or supported at the campus in the last month alone.

“And I’m sure someone has told you about dodge ball,” said Amy Levin, a Grant parent, perennial volunteer and chair of the Department of Social Work at California State University Northridge.

Nobody had, in fact, but it’s one of the things that Friedenberg is best known for, in part because he organized the league, but mostly because he watches most if not all of the games, referees and even keeps statistics on the players.

It’s an impossible pace to keep up for months and years on end while balancing the legally-mandated minutia of administration, but Friedenberg used his own dynamic personality to harness the energy of the parents, teachers and students at Grant to create a school that others recognize as a hotbed of creativity.

“Grant is a microcosm of the real world,” Levin said.“It has such diversity and yet most of the families are engaged and involved and you feel that. That comes from the top down.”

THE TURNING POINT

By Friedenberg’s own account, his career in

We have you covered education began as something of a happy accident.

Friedenberg was studying accounting at CSU Northridge in the early 1970s when Cott, who was on the path to become an attorney, approached him with the idea to coach Cott’s younger brother’s Little League team.

Both had experience in the sport, Cott as a left fielder and Friedenberg as a pitcher. He’d even played for the Northridge team before his arm began to show the ravages of pitching, and he happily agreed to the proposal as a way of continuing his connection with the game.

It was the first time that either had taken on education, and the connection to the kids was a life-altering experience.

Three years into an accounting degree, he left Northridge to go to UCLA to study sociology and both he and Cott enrolled in Ed 100, the entry level course for those interested in a degree in teaching.

It stuck, and in 1973, Friedenberg had his first teaching position at Conejo Elementary School in Thousand Oaks.

It paid $8,400 a year. Gas cost 26 cents for a gallon and rent was $150 a month. Friedenberg felt he had it made.

“At 23, I knew what I wanted to do,” he said.

Classrooms in California of the 1970s were different environments than they are today.

Absent were proscriptive federal mandates and the scourge of standardized testing that causes so many teachers to adhere to what Friedenberg views as safe, but boring, methods of teaching.

“I was allowed to figure it out, to create,” he said.“I don’t know if I would have stayed today.”

Friedenberg’s experimentation yielded results with a side of controversy.

A religious organization came after him for a spelling program that was based on modern rock songs and classic texts (a letter to the editor

in the local newspaper read “There’s a certain sixth grade teacher in the Conejo Valley promoting sexual promiscuity, drugs, death defiance and failure”) and 10 years later a student performed a speech dressed as Adolph Hitler that incited a conflagration of public opinion.

In the summers, he and a group of other teachers began a private summer school called The Learning Center. It was successful, and gave Friedenberg his first chance at administration, a position that married his early interest in numbers and business with his new passion for education.

“You are an entrepreneur as much as you are an educator,” Friedenberg said.

One master’s degree in business later, Friedenberg felt he was prepared to take over the reins of a school. The teaching community, however, did not agree.

It took three years to make the jump from teacher to principal. He would get to the finals, but in the end the administration would go with the candidate with more experience as a principal.

When they finally overcame their fear of taking a chance on the young teacher, Friedenberg got two calls from two different schools in his district on the same night.

He was with his first school for two years when Neil Schmidt called.

Schmidt was the superintendent of the school district at the time, and had been watching Friedenberg’s career. He invited him to apply for the opening at Grant Elementary.

“His words were, ‘Why would you want to leave a cushy job to go to Santa Monica?’”

Friedenberg recalled.

After some soul searching, Friedenberg put his name in the hat and began traveling to Santa Monica for interviews.

“I felt like I was having an affair,” the principal said.

When the next school year began, it was

Friedenberg that greeted new Grant students into their elementary school.

THE HARD PART

Over the last 17 years, Friedenberg has fundamentally shaped the character of Grant Elementary.

It has a reputation for excellence, creativity and vast community involvement, despite the constant challenges of funding and requirements laid down at the state and federal level that hem in teachers’ flexibility.

Friedenberg paved the way as he could, laying down a policy that proved to his staff that as long as students met the standards they had to meet by the end of the school year, he didn’t care how they got there.

That was made more difficult by Grant Elementary’s demographics. According to a recent report, 28 percent of the students are socioeconomically disadvantaged. By district policy, only four elementary schools receive federal funding meant to support those students.

Grant is not one of them.

As he balanced budgets and preserved what he could, Friedenberg maintained a constant presence on campus, attending as many events as possible — especially those with free food — and got the tedious work done when no one was looking.

Sometimes, that meant waking up at 2 a.m. afraid that a critical e-mail hadn’t been sent or a task had gone unfinished.

At the same time, budget cuts trickling down from Sacramento and the teaching profession switched its focus from fighting for improvements to fighting for its life.

“People don’t see the toll,” Friedenberg said.

A number of personal problems including a winning battle against prostate cancer forced the 62-year-old to take a step back and look at SEE CP PAGE 9

CP FROM PAGE 8 both his desire to continue as a professional educator and the state of the school that he had served for so many years.

It was time to go while it was still on his own terms, Friedenberg decided.

“I didn’t want to go out broken, in controversy or bitter,” he said.

THE NEXT STEPS

Friedenberg’s retirement, effective in June, will open up a world of opportunities for him and a vacancy at the top spot in a school used to having high expectations for its administrators and seeing them rise to the occasion.

He, his wife Karen Koblitz, a ceramics professor at USC and their newly-graduated daughter will go on vacation to celebrate their new situations, and then he’s considering consulting for education or mentor-

BUDGET FROM PAGE 1 Assembly Republican leader Connie Conway in a statement.

The governor pursued a ballot initiative because Republican lawmakers would not provide the votes needed to reach the two-thirds legislative majority required to raise taxes.

Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, acknowledged that lawmakers have “limited and difficult choices left to solve the deficit.” Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said he wasn’t surprised by the deficit spike given that state tax revenue have fallen $3.5 billion below projections in the current year.

“We will deal with it,” Steinberg said Saturday.

“And we know that more cuts are inevitable but we will do our very, very best to save more than we lose, especially for those in need.”

Under Brown’s tax plan, California would temporarily raise the state’s sales tax by a quarter-cent and increase the income tax on people who make $250,000 or more. Brown is projecting his tax initiative would raise as much as $9 billion, but a review by the nonpartisan analyst’s office estimates revenue of $6.8 billion in

Learning a new musical instrument is out of the question, he said.

At Grant, a group of parents and school officials will begin the difficult task of finding someone to take over for the 2012-13 school year.

Friedenberg’s almost inhuman energy and wide breadth of passions would be difficult for anybody to replace, and he and Cott have ruminated on what programs will stay and which will fall to the wayside under a new leader, Cott said.

“There will not be another person like Al,” Cott said. “That profile, that individual way of looking at things and doing things, that is not really what the system looks for in school administrators. They’re lucky when they find it by accident, but they don’t really look for it.” ashley@smdp.com

fiscal year 2012-13.

Supporters of the “Schools and Local Public Safety Protection Act of 2012” say the additional revenue would help maintain current funding levels for public schools and colleges and pay for programs that benefit seniors and lowincome families. It also would provide local governments with a constitutional guarantee of funding to comply with a new state law that shifts lower-level offenders from state prisons to county jails.

A second tax hike headed for the November ballot is being promoted by Los Angeles civil rights attorney Molly Munger, whose initiative would raise income taxes on a sliding scale for nearly all wage-earners to help fund schools.

Anti-tax groups and Republican lawmakers say both tax increases will hurt California’s economic recovery. State GOP Chairman Tom Del Beccaro has embarked on a statewide campaign to discuss alternatives to Brown’s tax hikes.

The governor is expected to propose a contingency plan with a list of unpopular cuts that would kick in automatically if voters reject tax hikes this fall. In January, he said they would result in a K-12 school year shortened by up to three weeks, higher college tuition fees and reduced funding for courts.

BOX OFFICE FROM PAGE 3 solo superhero predecessors took in for their entire runs. The best of those domestically was “Iron Man” with $318.4 million.

“There has been a surprise around every corner with this picture in terms of how high is high and how big is big,” Disney’s Hollis said.

Inspired by the supernatural soap opera that debuted on TV in the mid-1960s, “Dark Shadows” stars Depp as an 18th century vampire who is freed after two centuries of burial and returns to his ancestral homestead in the 1970s, aiming to rebuild the family fortunes.

The TV show has only a cult following, so the Warner Bros. update relied on the lure of a reunion between frequent collaborators Depp and Burton taking on another otherworldly tale. But “Dark Shadows” left both critics and audiences cold, failing to make much of a dent in the intense appeal of “The Avengers.”

“Certainly, more is better, but it was a busy weekend, especially with ‘Avengers’ doing $100 million in its second weekend,” said Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner Bros. “The box office can only expand so much, and that was a hard one to anticipate. Those numbers are staggering.”

Fox Searchlight’s crowd-pleaser “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” broke into the top10 in its second weekend as it expanded from a handful of cinemas to 178 theaters.

We have you covered The film took in $2.7 million to finish at No. 8.

“The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” features Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith and Tom Wilkinson in a tale of older Brits looking to retire to a cozy life in India.

Also in narrower release of 322 theaters, Eva Mendes’ comic drama “Girl in Progress” opened at No. 10 with $1.4 million. The Lionsgate release stars Mendes as a nomadic single mom with a precocious teenage daughter.

“The Avengers” again provided the bulk of Hollywood’s business. Overall domestic revenues totaled $172 million, up 23 percent from the same weekend last year, when “Thor” led with $34.7 million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com.

Domestic receipts for the year are at $3.83 billion, 17.6 percent ahead of last year’s with a huge summer lineup yet to come.

Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian said he expects Hollywood to break the summer revenue record of $4.4 billion it set last year and top its all-time annual high of $10.6 billion from 2009.

“I think we will surpass that given the strength of just the first two weeks of the summer and the strength of the films on the way,” Dergarabedian said. “Records are just made to be broken this summer and this year.”

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

POWER FROM PAGE 3 radiation.

The new generators, they said, “include all possible improvements introduced by the industry into the steam generator design and fabrication,” including incorporating the experience at San Onofre, where tube wear had been a major problem.

The goal was “improving longevity, reliability, performance and maintainability of the steam generators,” they wrote.

The trouble began to unfold in late January, when the Unit 3 reactor was shut down as a precaution after a tube break.

Traces of radiation escaped, but officials said there was no danger to workers or neighbors.

Unit 2 had been taken offline earlier that month for routine maintenance and refueling, but investigators later found unusual wear on tubing in both units.

Gradual wear is common in such tubing, but the rate of erosion in some tubes at San Onofre alarmed officials since the equipment is relatively new. The company last week said more than 1,300 tubes are so damaged that they will be taken out of service, a far higher number than previously disclosed, but that number is well within the margin to allow the generators to keep operating.

In solving some problems with tubing at San Onofre, including using a new alloy, the engineers might have created others.

Test results show that two types of wear have occurred at both units — tubes are rubbing and vibrating against adjacent tubes, as well as against support structures inside the generators.

Federal and company investigators are trying to determine why that is happening, and company officials have yet to say if the root cause of the problem is related to design, improper installation or maintenance, or other issues.

An environmental group, Friends of the Earth, has claimed SCE misled the Nuclear Regulatory Commission about design changes that it identified as the likely culprit in excessive tube wear, a charge the federal agency disputes.

Friends of the Earth released research that said nearly 400 additional tubes were added to each generator as part of design modifications that compromised safety.

The four massive steam generators at San Onofre — two per reactor, each with 9,727 alloy tubes — function something like a car radiator, which controls heat in the vehicle’s engine.

The generator tubes circulate hot, radioactive water from the reactors, which then heats a bath of non-radioactive water surrounding them. That makes steam, which is used to turn turbines to make electricity.

The tubes have to be thin enough to transfer heat, but thick enough to hold up under heavy pressure. And they represent a critical safety barrier — if a tube breaks, there is the potential that radioactivity can escape into the atmosphere.

Also, serious leaks can drain protective cooling water from a reactor.

The engineers wrote that they needed to design generators that would require only minor modifications within the rest of the plant, but also meet a federal test to qualify as “inkind,” or essentially identical, replacements, which would allow them to be installed without prior approval from federal regulators.

The article outlines a series of alterations that were made to meet the various benchmarks. Among the changes, the new generators used a different tube alloy believed to be more resistant to cracking. The engineers also designed Vshaped tube supports to minimize the potential for tube wear and vibration.

There have been confusing signals in recent days about the status of the double-domed plant, which overlooks a beach between Los Angeles and San Diego. Federal regulators have said the plant will remain shuttered until investigators determine the cause of the tube wear and repairs are made.

But earlier this month, a senior company executive said Edison was hoping for a June restart for at least one of the sidelined reactors. The company is drafting a plan under which the reactors would run at reduced power, during a test period of at least several months, because engineers believe that will solve a problem with vibration that the company suspects has been causing the unusual wear in the tubes.

That was followed by a blunt statement from Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko, who said it was “clearly premature” to discuss a restart. Later, SCE President Ron Litzinger appeared to agree, saying “there is no timeline on nuclear safety.”

refused to let a third chance to knock the Memphis Grizzlies out of the playoffs slip away.

Kenyon Martin scored seven of his 11 points in the fourth quarter, and the Clippers advanced to the Western Conference semifinals with an 82-72 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 7 on Sunday.

“That’s why it’s seven games,” Martin said. “If you don’t do it before, you get another chance. So they did what they had to do, they came and stole home court back on our floor. ... We had a chance to close it out.We knew we let it go, an opportunity get away.”

The Clippers blew an eight-point lead in the fourth quarter Friday night. So Martin huddled the Clippers together at the start of the fourth quarter Sunday, and the veteran led the bench in outscoring the Grizzlies 25-16. Chris Paul had the only bucket by a starter in the final 12 minutes,and the Clippers’ bench outscored the Memphis reserves 41-11 overall.

“Our bench was our MVP,” Clippers guard Randy Foye said.“They realized what they had to do.We had a lot of guys hurt, so we just continued to grind.”

Now, the Clippers have their third postseason series win in 41 years and their second since relocating to Los Angeles. They last beat Denver in 2006. The Clippers also avoided becoming the ninth NBA team to blow a 3-1 lead in a best-of-

seven series in moving on to play the top-seeded Spurs starting Tuesday night in San Antonio.

“I want the guys to enjoy this, and then we’ll regroup tomorrow and focus in on that,” Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. “But obviously another big challenge for us.”

Paul scored 19 points despite playing with a strained right hip flexor. Nick Young had nine of his 13 off the bench in the fourth as the Clippers finished off the series with their biggest margin of victory.Paul was so confident of victory he bought plane tickets for his wife and son to San Antonio on Saturday.

“I felt like we should have won earlier,” Paul said. “But it doesn’t matter. As long as you win, I think it is a step in the right direction for our franchise.

Rudy Gay and Marc Gasol each had 19 for Memphis, which lost a Game 7 at Oklahoma City a year ago in the second round of the playoffs.

Zach Randolph had a game-high 12 rebounds.

“Unfortunately, no one on the bench stepped up and helped us,” Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said.

The Clippers, who trailed 56-55 after three quarters, took control by opening the fourth with an 11-2 run started by a jumper by Martin. He tipped in a shot for a 66-58 lead with 8:41 left. Mo Williams matched the Clippers’biggest lead to that point at 10 with a 3-pointer pushing it to 71-61 with 7:04 left in a 16-5 spurt to open the quarter.

“They hit shots in a hurry,” Gay said of the Clippers.“They made plays off our turnovers, and they just converted,something we weren’t doing at that time.”

GETTING STARTED

SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S PUZZLE

There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing.

Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

– Arithmo Crossmath – Reclaim Your Brain • Insert the given numbers in the empty squares so when they are calculated in threes from left to right and top to bottom they satisfy the demands in the shaded boxes both horizontally and vertically.

• Each empty square dictates the math operation that must be performed to meet the demands.

• Remember to multiply or divide before you add or subtract.

■ Finally, a nationally prominent judge has taken on prison "nutriloaf" as a constitutional issue. In March, U.S. Appeals Court Judge Richard Posner reinstated a dismissed lawsuit by a Milwaukee County Jail inmate who claimed that the mystery meat gave him an "anal fissure." Posner wrote that the lower courts needed to rule on whether the food of indeterminate content is "cruel and unusual punishment," since (citing a Wikipedia entry) an anal fissure seems "no fun at all."

■ Sophisticated automobile technology makes high-performance engines purr in relative silence, but automakers fear that their most demanding drivers are emotionally attached to the engines' roar. Consequently, as Car and Driver reported in April, the 2012 BMW M5, with 560 horsepower tempered with sound deadeners, has installed pre-recorded engine noise, channeled into the car's cabin via the stereo system. A computer program matches the amplitude of the engine's growl to the driver's accelerator-revving.

In other automobile tech news, Peugeot technicians announced in March that they were preparing "mood paint" for the body of the company's iconic RCZ model. The paint's molecular structure would be alterable by heat sensors in the steering wheel and elsewhere that measure a driver's stress levels. A calm driver might see his car turn green, for instance -- but watch out for road-rage red!
