Unemployment
could stay high
as economy slows
By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON High
unemployment isnt going away
not as long as the economy
grows as slowly as it did in the
April-June quarter.
Weak consumer spending held growth to an annual rate of
just 1.5 percent, even less than the 2 percent rate in the rst
quarter. And few expect the economy to accelerate in the sec-
ond half of the year as Europes nancial woes and a U.S.
budget crisis restrain businesses and consumers.
The growth estimate Friday from the government suggested
that the U.S. economy could be at risk of stalling three years
after the recession ended. Economists generally say even 2 per-
cent annual growth would add only about 90,000 jobs a month.
Thats too few to keep up with population growth and drive
down the unemployment rate, which is stuck at 8.2 percent.

Releasing some inmates awaiting trial with an electronic
monitoring device could alleviate overcrowding of the county
jail and save money, according to a 17-page report released by
the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury Thursday.
San Mateo Countys mens jail in Redwood City, called the

Administration
projecting $1.2T
12 budget deficit
By Andrew Taylor
WASHINGTON The White House
predicts this years federal budget decit
will end up at $1.2 trillion, marking the
fourth consecutive year of trillion dollar-
plus deficits during President Barack
Obamas administration.
The bleak gures, while expected, are
sure to add fuel to the already heated pres-

and the budget is a main topic. Fridays release came as the

LONDON The queen and James Bond gave the London
Olympics a royal entrance like no other Friday in an opening cer-
emony that rolled to the rock of the Beatles, the Stones and The
Who.
And the creative genius of Danny Boyle spliced it all together.
Brilliant. Cheeky, too.
The highlight of the Oscar-winning
directors $42 million show was pure
movie magic, using trickery to make it
seem that Britains beloved 86-year-old
Queen Elizabeth II had parachuted into
the stadium with the nations most famous
spy.
A short lm showed Daniel Craig as
007 driving to Buckingham Palace in a
black London cab and, pursued by the
royal corgis, meeting the queen, who
played herself.
Good evening, Mr. Bond, she said.
They were shown ying in a helicop-
ter over London landmarks and a waving statue of Winston
Churchill the queen in a salmon-colored dress, Bond dash-
ing as ever in a black tuxedo before leaping into the inky
night over Olympic Park.
At the same moment, real skydivers appeared as the stadium
throbbed to the James Bond theme. And moments after that, the
monarch appeared in person, accompanied by her husband,
Prince Philip.
Organizers said it was thought to be the rst time she has acted
on lm.
The queen made herself more accessible than ever before,
Boyle said.
In the stadium, Elizabeth stood solemnly while a childrens
choir serenaded her with God Save the Queen, and members of
the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force raised the Union Jack.
Boyle sprang another giant surprise and picked seven teenage
athletes for the supreme honor of igniting the Olympic cauldron.
Together, they touched aming torches to trumpetlike tubes that
spread into a ring of re.
The ames rose and joined elegantly together to form the caul-
dron. Fireworks erupted over the stadium to music from Pink
Floyd. And with a singalong of Hey Jude, Beatle Paul
McCartney closed a show that ran 45 minutes beyond its sched-
uled three hours.
Organizers said the cauldron would be moved Sunday night to
the corner of the stadium where a giant bell tolled during the
show.
Boyle turned the stadium into a giant juke box, with a nonstop
rock and pop homage to cool Britannia that ensured the show
never caught its breath.
The high-adrenaline soundtrack veered from classical to

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Dave Earl got his start in blues music by lis-
tening to old records he had to hunt for in his
hometown of Daly City.
He began playing the harmonica when he
was 14, moved on to guitar at 20 and picked
up the mandolin at age 40. He said he never
took formal lessons, but instead hung out with
fellow musicians and learned through osmo-
sis, listening to and learning the blues in the
presence of experienced players.
This weekend, he is one of those players
aspiring musicians look up to as he performs
at the seventh Redwood City Police Activities
League Blues Festival that began last night
and continues Saturday at Courthouse Square.
The festival will be a showcase of live blues
music, art and a barbecue competition, with
proceeds beneting programs of the Redwood
City Police Activities League. A large draw of
the festival is the lineup of established blue
musicians who each come with their own
unique take and experience with the genre.
Earl, 54, is a professional blues multi-
instrumentalist who plays his guitar with a
harmonica at his mouth and his foot on a
porch board to play the blues he has known
his whole life. He has been playing for more
than 35 years, having performed at Bay Area
bars and clubs, Northern California festivals
and in Europe. He considers blues music a
fundamental part of his life.
Playing music is like having lunch; [its]
part of what I do every day, said Earl.
The players who helped him get his start
were from Oakland, older blues musicians
who he learned from and played with, which
Earl said were part of a big blues community
in the Bay Area in the 1970s and early 80s.
Through his experience in the Oakland blues
scene and with practice, Earl made his rst
recording in 1983 and went on to make his
rst CD in 1993. Since then, he has released
eight CDs and continues to perform live today.
Choosing the blues was natural from the
get-go, said Earl, after he rst listened to the
records.
The blues chose me, said Earl. I heard it,
I was inspired by it, I wanted to play it, so I
played it.
However, the move to being a full-time
musician was a gradual transition, he said. In
the beginning of his career, he held a regular
job as an ironworker constructing high rises
while playing at night as his side job. Ten
years ago, Earl made the move to become a
full-time street musician and has been ever
since. He now plays regularly at Pier 39 in
Fishermans Wharf for three to four hours a
day and performs at various festivals.
Delta- and Chicago-style blues are the type
of music he plays on his guitar and harmoni-
ca, styles formed in the 1930s and 50s. The
styles originated from the farm communities
in the South and as people moved north to
Chicago to nd industrial jobs in the early
20th century, he said.
Earl has played both solo and with bands,
but has been doing more solo work recently
by playing multiple instruments at once. He
plays guitar, harmonica and porch board
together and will do so for the upcoming fes-
tival. Playing on his own, he said, gives him
the autonomy to make his own music without
having to depend on other people.
As for fellow blues musicians, Earl values
those who stay true to the blues tradition and
its originality.
I admire people who stay committed to the
real blues sound, he said.
It is a sound that he likes performing live,
especially when you can make a connection
with the audience and they feel the music, he
said.
Earl recalled one of his memorable per-
formances with fellow blues musician, Ron
Hacker, who will also be at this years blues
festival. They were at the 1989 San Francisco
Blues Festival performing an acoustic set. Big
bands were also performing that day, and he
remembered their more subtle performance
drew the audience in. Many people were eat-
ing and distracted, but when they took the
stage to perform, everyone stopped and tuned
in to their performance, he said, and it was so
quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
It was an amazing experience, said Earl.
When asked for advice for those who have
an interest in the blues and want to begin a
journey into the music, Earl quipped, Buy all
my CDs and listen to them night and day.
In sincerity, Earl recommended nding an
instrument you really like to play because
youll stick with it and it will make the music
that much more enjoyable.
Though his passion is playing the blues, he
admitted it can be hard to make a living as a
street musician. Yet, he realized that it is
something he likes to do and is willing to per-
form each day.
Im grateful I can play music for a living,
Earl said. Ive stayed passionate about it all
my life.

Peninsula Health Care
District approves $4.6M grant to
support low-income, uninsured
The Peninsula Health Care District Board
of Directors voted unanimously Thursday to
approve a two-year, $4.6 million grant to the
San Mateo County Health System to support
providing health care to low-income, unin-
sured adults living within the district.
Over the last three years, the county has
seen a 90 percent increase in the number of
adults enrolled in the county health systems
ACE Program Access to Care for
Everyone. Over this same time, the Health
System has seen an $18 million decrease in
funding for these services, with 3,000 indi-
viduals currently on the waiting list. Nearly
25 percent of the ACE participants live
within the PHCDs boundaries, which
include San Bruno, Millbrae, Burlingame,
Hillsborough, San Mateo and parts of South
San Francisco and Foster City. The districts
funding will serve nearly 1,000 of those
adult residents.
The grant will provide $2.3 million in
each fiscal year, and will help bridge cover-
age and transition activities into 2014 when
the 2010 Affordable Care Act takes effect.
The districts directors acknowledged the
unprecedented, prolonged economic chal-
lenges that have faced all residents as well
as health care providers. Many of the ACE
program participants are residents who have
lost jobs and/or healthcare coverage and are
not eligible for Medi-Cal or other financial
aid.
Suspicious device shuts
down area near AT&T Park
A suspicious device shut down the area
near AT&T Park in San Francisco for nearly
four hours, a police spokesman said.
The device was reported at 10:46 a.m. in
the 200 block of Channel Street, located just
across McCovey Cove from the ballpark,
and the all-clear was given some time before
3:20 p.m., police spokesman Carlos
Manfredi said.
Construction crews at a site near Indiana
and Mariposa streets apparently uncovered
the device while sifting through dirt, and
transported it to Channel Street, several
blocks north, before notifying authorities,
Manfredi said.
Manfredi said police want to discourage
people from transporting a suspicious
device that could be explosive.
As a rule of thumb, if you see something
that may go boom, stay away, he said.
The Police Departments bomb squad
responded and determined the device was an
old military-grade artillery shell. Police
contacted Travis Air Force Base, which sent
technicians to determine the exact nature of
the device, Manfredi said.
The incident prompted street closures in
the area and the evacuation of two nearby
buildings, as well as residents living along
the waterfront in houseboats, Manfredi said.
Motorcyclist in fatal
collision Thursday identified
The motorcyclist killed in a collision on
state Highway 35 in Daly City Thursday
morning has been identified by the San
Mateo County Coroners Office as Maher
Yousef Gheith.
Gheith, 35, of Daly City, collided with
another vehicle on Highway 35 just north of
state Highway 1 shortly before noon,
California Highway Patrol Officer Scott
Cakebread said.
Gheith was pronounced dead at the scene,
Cakebread said.
Man accused of ramming car into
authorities ordered to stand trial
A 19-year-old man was ordered to stand
trial Thursday on five charges connected to
ramming a stolen car into law enforcement
vehicles in East Palo Alto and then fleeing,
according to the San Mateo County District
Attorneys Office.
Tywaun Livingston was arrested in
Fremont on June 25 after he drove across
the Dumbarton Bridge to flee from San
Mateo County Vehicle Theft Task Force
agents who had attempted to detain him at
Rutgers and Fordham streets in East Palo
Alto, prosecutors said.
Livingston, who was wanted in connec-
tion with a car theft, allegedly rammed into
the agents vehicles in the stolen car as the
agents exited their vehicles, task force offi-
cials said.
One agent shot at Livingston, who then
fled across the bridge into Fremont, where
police there caught up with him on foot at
Paseo Padre Parkway and Fremont
Boulevard. He was found uninjured after the
shooting, authorities said.
At his preliminary hearing held Thursday
in Redwood City, San Mateo County
Superior Court Judge John Jack
Grandsaert held Livingston to answer on all
charges. He will be kept in custody in lieu
of $250,000 bail, prosecutors said.
His formal arraignment on the charges is
scheduled for Aug. 10.
Livingston is represented by defense
attorney Tom Kelley, who was not immedi-
ately available for comment on the case.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A trial date was set Friday for a teen who
allegedly carjacked a car seller after taking the
advertised Mustang for a test drive using a
fake gun to demand the pink slip while he
drove the handcuffed owner around Daly City.
Jeremy Jenkins, 20, reportedly told authori-
ties after his arrest he made a stupid mistake
but after hearing from the car seller and
responding ofcers a judge ruled the action
also warranted trial on charges of carjacking,
kidnapping during a carjacking and second-
degree robbery. On Friday, Jenkins entered a
not guilty plea on all charges and special cir-
cumstances, said Assistant District Attorney
Morley Pitt. If found guilty on all charges,
Jenkins could face a life sentence, he said.
Jenkins will return to court Oct. 15 for a pre-
trial conference. A trial is estimated to start
Nov. 5.
Jenkins reportedly responded to a Craigslist
ad April 23 and met the 26-year-old car owner
at the Daly City BART station. Jenkins
allegedly put a gym bag in the car prior to the
test drive and afterward pulled a replica hand-
gun and ordered the man to handcuff himself.
Jenkins pulled a pillowcase over the mans
head and placed him in the back seat and
demanded the pink slip, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce.
When the man said the pink slip was at
home, Jenkins allegedly drove around for 20
minutes before pulling into a garage and hav-
ing the man call his mother. The woman, sens-
ing something was amiss when asked to bring
the pink slip to the BART station, called 911.
While BART police met with the mother, the
victim again called and the ofcer was able to
discern what was happening, according to
authorities.
The police waited at the BART parking lot
and when Jenkins arrived detained him at gun-
point.
Jenkins remains in custody without bail.

SACRAMENTO The state controller and
the Department of Finance are $2.3 billion
apart in their calculations of how much money
is in hundreds of special funds kept by various
state agencies, ofcials acknowledged Friday.
By the state controllers accounting, the spe-
cial funds held $11.1 billion during a nancial
tally a year ago. The state Department of
Finance says the funds held $8.8 billion.
The accounting gap came to light after
nance ofcials last week discovered nearly
$54 million in two Department of Parks and
Recreation special funds that had been deliber-
ately hidden from the governors budget ofce
but showed up on the controllers books. The
nding forced the resignation of the parks
departments director and prompted an investi-
gation by the state attorney general.
Finance Department spokesman H.D. Palmer
said auditors wont know if there is additional
surplus money in any more of the 560 accounts
until next week, when they nish matching the
controllers gures with their own.
Much of the difference is because the con-
trollers and nance ofces often use different
accounting methods, said Palmer and Hallye
Jordan, a spokeswoman for
Controller John Chiang.
For instance, a $460 mil-
lion discrepancy in two
transportation special
funds is because the con-
trollers ofce accounted
for the money in one scal
year, while the Finance
Department counted it
toward the next scal year.
The situation is trigger-
ing new debate over the states budget crisis at
a time when Gov. Jerry Brown is trying to con-
vince voters the situation is so dire they need to
approve a sales tax hike and increase the
income tax on people making more than
$250,000.
Brown and the Legislature used the Finance
Departments lower $8.8 billion gure when
they approved the California budget last month.
Im concerned about the lack of communi-
cation between the controllers ofce and the
Department of Finance. It became obvious
when the controller said, Well, if Finance had
talked to me about the parks gures, this would
have come to the forefront, said Sen. Bill
Emmerson, R-Redlands, vice chairman of the
Senate Budget Committee.

Several students from Laurel Elementary
School were among nearly 150,000 students
worldwide to participate this year in the Math
Olympiad program. They participated in a
series of ve monthly contests of ve problems
each, from November to March, and weekly
practice sessions under the supervision and
coaching of parents Mike Moyer and Katie
Lipka. They taught students to solve unusual
and difcult problems and to think creatively.
Laurel Principal Susan Glines said, These
students rank among the best mathematics stu-
dents at Laurel School. They solved a variety
of very difcult problems with eagerness and
enthusiasm. I am also thankful for the dedicat-
ed parent coaches who consistently held prac-
tice once a week to help these students reach
their potential.
Students were recognized with certicates
for their participation. A number of the math-
letes won national awards for excellence with-
in Division E for grades 4-6. Elias Lewin-Koh
was awarded the silver pin, given to those in
the top 10 percent of their age division.
Students Nathan A., Sammy David, Lila
Dickson, Kathryn Jia, Thomas Karpishin,
Lee Moyer, Connor Nordell and Carson
Shek were awarded an embroidered felt patch,
which is given to those the top 50 percent of all
participants.
Each year, the Math Olympiads serves more
than 100,000 students on nearly 5,000 teams
nationally and about 50,000 students on 2,000
teams in more than 30 other countries. Since
1979, it has provided challenging, thought-pro-
voking problems that stretch the abilities of
students in grades 4 to 8, strengthening their
foundation for both assessment tests and more
advanced studies.

WASHINGTON Call it a triple
win for ghting the AIDS epidemic:
Treating people with HIV early
keeps them healthy, cuts their
chances of infecting others, and now
research shows its also a good
nancial investment.
The International AIDS
Conference closed Friday with the
message that getting treatment to
more of the worlds 34 million peo-
ple with HIV is key to curbing the
epidemic, short of a vaccine and
cure that still are years away.
It is unacceptable that scienti-
cally proven treatment and preven-
tion tools arent reaching people
who need them most, Nobel laureate
Dr. Francoise Barre-Sinoussi, co-
discoverer of the AIDS virus and
new president of the International
AIDS Society, told the meetings
closing session.
Former U.S. President Bill
Clinton, whose foundation funds
HIV work, also addressed the group.
All of you have created the possi-
bility that we could have an AIDS-
free generation, he said. We just
have to keep pushing the rocks up
the hill.
Spreading treatment will be huge-
ly expensive up-front, but Harvard
researchers said Friday that the
investment would actually save
hard-hit South Africa some money
over ve years, as savings from
treating AIDS-related illnesses
exceed the medications price.
Eventually those savings will be
overtaken by the costs of treating
millions for decades, but treatment-
as-prevention still is highly cost-
effective, said Dr. Rochelle
Walensky of the Harvard Center for
AIDS Research.
People used to think there was no
way we can do this, said Dr. Diane
Havlir of the University of
California, San Francisco, who co-
chaired the worlds largest AIDS
meeting. With both scientic and
nancial validation, for the rst
time were optimistic that we can.

WASHINGTON On a trip to Israel, Mitt
Romney is trying to win over a tiny sliver of a
small but powerful section of the
American electorate. President Barack
Obama is doing the same at home.
But while Romneys trip is unlikely to
change the broader presidential campaign
against Obama, hes hoping to close the gap
among Jewish voters.
Yet for all the wooing of American Jews in
presidential campaigns, those who say Israels
fate drives their vote make up 6 percent of a
reliably Democratic bloc. The tiny numbers
are overlaid with an outsize influence.
Campaign donations from Jews or Jewish and
pro-Israel groups account for as much as 60
percent of Democratic money, and groups
such as the American Israel Public Affairs
Committee can bring strong pressure on can-
didates.
This is going to be a close election. We are
in a tight, tight race, said Democratic pollster
Jim Gerstein. But this race will not swing on
the Jewish vote.
The notion of being an American Jew has
changed over the years. Jews have married
outside their faith and ethnic enclaves have
given way to integrated cities. In the process,
Israel has faded as a driving issue in their
homes and seems to have faded as a ashpoint
in politics.
Theyre disconnected from their ancestral
roots, Hank Sheinkopf, a New York-based
consultant, said of Jewish voters. People are
becoming less observant so theyre less tied to
Israel, less tied to their faith, less tied to their
history.
In turn, Jewish voters look at the election
through secular lenses. Although the cam-
paign rhetoric skews
toward them when the
candidates talk about
Israel, assuming that Jews
vote based on U.S. policy
toward Israel is a losing
proposition.
Romney also needs to
show his commitment to
Israel because the reliably
Republican evangelical
Christian vote also holds candidates to
account on that topic.
Jewish Americans, like most Americans,
have come to assume that mainstream politi-
cians and elected ofcials will stand strongly
with Israel so theres oftentimes no urgency
that is reected in the polling, said Robert
Wexler, a former Democratic congressman
from Florida whose district was heavily
Jewish.
Even partisan people who cherish the
American-Israeli relationship cringe when
Israel is used as a political football, said
Wexler, who was a co-chairman of Obamas
2008 campaign and now leads the S. Daniel
Abraham Center for Middle East Peace.
That hasnt stopped Romney.
I think, by and large, you can just look at
the things the president has done and do the
opposite, Romney said earlier this year when
asked about Israel.
Obama has riled his critics, including
Romney, by urging the Israelis and the
Palestinians to make good on their promises
to bring peace to the troubled Middle East.
Specically, Obama publicly has chastised
Israel for continuing to build housing settle-
ments in disputed areas and has pressured
both sides to begin a new round of peace talks
based on the land borders established after the
1967 Arab-Israeli conict.
Reliably Democratic,Jewish vote gets Romney eye
By Steve Peoples and Kasie Hunt
LONDON Mitt Romney struggled
Friday to stem political fallout at home after
insulting Britains handling of the London
Games. The stumble at least briey pitted the
Republican presidential candidate against
Americas strongest ally while limiting his
ability to capitalize on more troubling U.S.
economic news.
At the same time, President Barack Obama
used his ofce to try to take advantage of the
Republicans missteps abroad, praising
Britain for its Olympics preparations one day
and sending money to Israel the next just
as Romney prepared to visit that nation.
The conuence of events just as the
world focused on Londons opening cere-
monies confounded Republicans and tick-
led Democrats. People in both parties won-
dered aloud how the former Massachusetts
governor could have complicated the open-
ing leg of a three-nation tour carefully craft-
ed to highlight his diplomatic strengths and
personal Olympic experience.
You have to shake your head, GOP
strategist Karl Rove said Friday on Fox
News. It was unclear just how much damage
Romney, who had hoped to burnish his limit-
ed foreign policy credentials, did with an
American electorate that hasnt fully tuned
into the race. But he certainly stoked talk in
political circles in Washington, if not else-
where, of political tone-deafness, and he
raised questions about his readiness to stand
on the world stage.
He drew more attention Friday night when
he attended the opening ceremonies. Just as
the show was about to begin, one BBC host
noted that Britains team was ready for the
games despite what Mitt Romney says.
Publicly at least, Romneys campaign
shrugged it all off as having little impact on
American voters and moved aggressively to
change the subject. His aides hastily organ-
ized a conference call with reporters to dis-
cuss his schedule in Jerusalem and preview a
speech there two days away.
British press reports laced with lingering
resentment targeting Romneys initial com-
ment that problems with Olympic prepa-
rations were disconcerting made it dif-
cult for him to turn the page.

Barack Obama
By Nancy Benac
WASHINGTON Barack Obama remi-
nisces about taking a wrong turn and getting
lost. Fumbling to fold a map. Dashing to
Kinkos to copy campaign iers.
The presidents re-election campaign
increasingly is sounding like a nostalgia tour.
His speeches stroll through elections past,
serving up fond memories of his days running
as a political unknown, identifying early
political inspirations and reminding voters
that, win or lose, this will be his last cam-
paign after 13 appearances on the ballot since
1996.
Im term-limited, he tells crowds a at
statement of the obvious that always gets a
laugh. You get a little nostalgic and you start
thinking about your rst political campaigns.
These are not the casual ad-libs of a candi-
date suddenly turning wistful, but a rhetorical
device designed to transport Obama back to
the days when he was the kind of ordinary
guy voters felt they could relate to, long
before he rode in limousines and ew on Air
Force One.
Sometimes I couldnt nd a parking spot
and so Id end up being late, and if it was rain-
ing Id have to fumble with my umbrella and
Id come in kind of drenched, Obama told a
crowd in Oakland, Calif., earlier this week.
There were these things called maps,
because we did not have GPS, he told a
chuckling crowd in Portland, Ore., the next
day. And they were on paper, and youd have
to fold them. Youd unfold them and then try-
ing to fold them back was really difcult.
The unwritten subtext: Im just like you,
and my policies ow from our shared experi-
ences. Mitt Romney, hes a rich guy whose
policies would benet the elite.
Its the silver-spoon-in-his-mouth attack
more gently insinuated, says Kathleen
Hall Jamieson, an expert on political rhetoric
and director of the Annenberg Public Policy
Center at the University of Pennsylvania.
Its also a rejoinder to Romneys own char-
acterizations of Obama as isolated in the pres-
idential bubble and out of touch with the eco-
nomic concerns of ordinary Americans.
Obama uses his reminiscing riffs to trace a
direct connection between his biography and
those of the voters he met in early campaigns.

Letters to the editor
Let us be honest now
Editor,
To those who see mental illness as the
cause of horric crimes such as the shooting
in Colorado, ask yourself one question. How
could this slaughter have possibly taken
place with any other weapon than an assault
rie? What else? A bow and arrow? A knife?
A sword? A baseball bat? Just think about it.
How many times do events like these take
place, compared to the millions of mentally
ill people who are perfectly peaceful. What
about the raging out of control violence
going on right now in Chicago? Last week,
that violence took the lives of two children.
How about the Mexican drug cartels? The
cartels horric violence continues to our-
ish. Are these cartels made up of mentally ill
persons?
Every day, throughout this country, dozens
of people are killed by street gangs and
organized crime gures. However, nobody
focuses a spotlight on them, even though
they are the ones who are truly violent.

The Israel/Palestine situation
Editor,
Steve Lipman (Letter: Jackie Speiers
Town Hall meeting from the July 25 edition
of the Daily Journal) feels U.S. Rep. Jackie
Speier, D-San Mateo, is on another planet
because she doesnt see things in the
Israel/Palestine situation the same way he
does.
Id say almost everyone on the planet sees
things just like she does, in that Israels ver-
sion of George W. Bush (Mr. Netanyahu) is
more interested in drumming up paranoia
about Iran instead of actually complying
with international law. The United Nations
was created for the purpose of stopping
seizure of land and populations by force,
which have been the cause of most of the
worlds wars. The best part of Lipmans let-
ter is where he said, There has to be a will-
ingness on the part of the Palestinians to
meet Israel halfway. Already far more than
half of the Palestinian homeland is occu-
pied by military or settler development. My
question is when will we stop aiding Israel
in becoming like the racially divided
Mississippi of the 1950s and approve the
U.N. resolutions demanding it behave in a
lawful manner. It would be best for every-
ones planet.

Science and consensus
Editor,
Near a Half Moon Bay market, I recently
encountered a university coed promoting a
project of park access and environmentalism.
With and authority ostensibly beyong
reproach she certied herself as an environ-
mental major as we commenced a lively dia-
logue to be summarily terminated by a most
grievous faux pas that global warming is a
hoax. This promptly portrayed me as a
clueless at earther, as she swiftly con-
cluded the discussion with a thank you sir
for your time in a cheerless Ivy League
hauteur.
I neglected to amend my ghastly faux pas
to anthropogenic global warming is a
hoax, as I was unmotivated to persist to be
hastily dismissed as an obviously clueless
troglodyte lacking any fealty to the uncon-
tested environmental dogmas so venerated
on most university campuses. I suspect there
are rare counterpoints to Al Gores Earth in
the Balance propaganda-like discourses in
such progressive environs, but one can ee
the academic ideological enclosure to secure
scientic and scholarly balance with oppos-
ing analysis from prominent climatologists,
such as John Christy, Patrick Michaels, Roy
Spencer, Fred Singer, Sherwood Idso and
Richard Lindzen.
Meticulous science abhors lockstep con-
sensus and demands unbiased methodologies
to resolve extremely complex concerns, par-
ticularly intricate and non-linear systems
such as climate; otherwise such conclusions
are condemned to rival alchemy in elucida-
tion.
There is global warming but I deduce from
my research that it is not anthropogenically
(humankind) driven, my respectful opinion
of course.

More hypocrisy
Editor,
One has to ask, does the president of the
United States take the time to read over his
speech before he delivers them to the peo-
ple? This is part of what the president said
after the latest shooting in Colorado: We
may never understand what leads anybody to
terrorize their fellow human beings like this.
Such violence, such evil is senseless. Its
beyond reason.
What leads anyone to terrorize their fellow
human beings? Insanity, greed, prot, para-
noia.
Kinda like you, Mr. President, and the
Congress. You, Mr. President, and Congress
are guilty of mass murder of the men,
women and children in Iraq, Afghanistan,
Pakistan, Libya, Yemen and the list goes on
and, with the help of Israel, we may be
adding Syria and Iran to that list.
So, please, Mr. President, before you
address the American people, take the time
to read over your speech, then take a long
look in the mirror and ask who is really ter-
rorizing his fellow human beings.

Presidential
election and the NAACP
Editor,
So NAACP booed Romney. He should be
given credit for appearing and wanting to
dialogue. Neither presidential candidate
inspires confidence in lifting our nation out
of this deep economic abyss. The nations
unemployment rate is 8.2 percent; the true
rate, more like 17 percent given those no
longer searching, and the underemployed.
Long-term unemployment accounts for 4.2
percent of this 8.2 percent. For blacks,
unemployment is 14.4 percent. California is
holding steadily high at 11 percent. In Palo
Alto, where folks are aloof to the economic
turmoil, the rate is an acceptable 4.8 per-
cent.
The NAACP should at least be willing to
hear another perspective. What has Obama
actually done to help improve the economic
and social justice outlook (Treyvon Martin/
Oscar Grant) for blacks in America?
As a nation, serious attention must be
given to the economic state of our union,
and who, if anybody, can lead us out of the
dark hole. Whether enough folks have jobs
affects our economy at the local level, up to
federal. People consume and spend less
which results in many businesses being
financially affected, including local non-
profits and small businesses. This rolls up
to the state governments with less income,
and sales taxes being collected. On the fed-
eral level, less tax revenue; money needed
to maintain all the entitlements that help
every American at some point in time
such as Medicare, Social Security and
housing.
It would be great for our nation to finally,
collectively exhale, knowing that all was
improving economically for everyone. At
the end of the day, we all do truly suffer
when so many people are not able to attain
the promised pursuit of happiness, and par-
take in the bigger American economic pie.

Browns spending
Editor,
For years I have supported Gov. (Dr.)
Brown as a budget-conscious politician, but
now he has changed to Mr. Hyde, spending
with viciousness.
If California is broke, how can he justify
spending billions on high-speed rail, as he
has done, and now promote the $19 billion
water tunnel to drain the delta?

Prison candor
The (Riverside) Press-Enterprise
O
bstructing public scrutiny is fool-
ish policy for a state prison sys-
tem that is hugely expensive and
beset by legal troubles. Legislators should
approve a bill that would give reporters
greater access to prison inmates, and pro-
vide the public with more insight into
prison operations. The state should be
pushing for more openness, not trying to
avoid transparency.
AB 1270, by Assemblyman Tom
Ammiano, D-San Francisco, would permit
the news media to conduct prearranged
interviews with inmates. The bill would
also ensure that reporters could use pens,
paper, audio and video recorders and other
newsgathering tools at those interviews.
Current prison policy forbids setting up
face-to-face sessions with specific inmates,
mostly limiting reporters to interviewing
randomly encountered prisoners. The bill
passed the Assembly in January, but last
month a Senate committee put the measure
on hold. And the Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation weighed in
against the legislation this month.
Legislators, however, should not ignore
the public interest in greater prison trans-
parency. Inmate interviews can offer crucial
insights into the workings of the states
criminal justice system, free from any offi-
cial filtering. Steps that help provide a
more complete picture of state corrections
are key to ensuring public accountability
for the prison system and the people who
run it.
Certainly California taxpayers have good
reasons to keep a close watch on the states
prisons. Corrections costs have bloated over
the past 15 years, and now consume nearly
10 percent of the states general fund budg-
et. The state plans to spend $8.86 billion on
its prison system this year, more than the
general fund will contribute to the
University of California and California
State University systems combined.
And the states record hardly argues for
blocking public access to information about
the corrections system. Legislators allowed
conditions to deteriorate so far that a feder-
al judge seized control of prison health care
in 2005. A panel of federal judges in 2009
ordered the state to ease the crowding that
packed prisons to nearly twice their intend-
ed capacity. And about two-thirds of those
released from prison end up back behind
bars within three years.
Corrections officials and the Department
of Finance argue that accommodating more
inmate interviews would increase prison
workloads and costs. But legislative analy-
ses put the additional expense between
$150,000 and $300,000 annually. Even at
the higher level, that amounts to just 0.003
percent of the corrections budget an
amount that hardly justifies diminishing
public transparency.
Besides, the interview ban seems more
linked to worries about negative publicity
than any other concern. Corrections offi-

Apple buying AuthenTec for about $356 million
NEW YORK Apple has agreed to buy ngerprint
reader AuthenTec Inc. for approximately $356 million as
the maker of iPhones and iPads looks to strengthen its dig-
ital security capabilities.
Apples acquisition comes as consumers use their smart-
phones for more and more daily activities, including shop-
ping.
As cellphones become essentially credit cards, con-
sumers will look to secure them in the event of theft or
loss. AuthenTecs ngerprint sensors offer one way to
secure handsets, said Raymond James analyst J. Steven
Smigie.
Its not known what Apples plans are. Rival devices run-
ning Googles Android system are starting to come with a
wireless technology that can let phones make payments
with the tap of a reader. Apples patent lings hint at an
interest in the technology, known as near-eld communi-
cations, but the notoriously secretive company has given
no clue when the technology might show up in iPhones. A
new model is expected this fall.
Chevron 2Q net income slips 7 percent
NEW YORK A soaring prot at Chevrons reneries
eased some of the pain of a weaker second quarter.
The oil giant said Friday net income fell nearly 7 percent
to $7.21 billion, or $3.66 per share. But the results beat
expectations thanks to a strong performance from its ren-
ery business.
The companys stock price rose 99 cents to close at
$109.26 Friday.
Like its peers, the oil giant is struggling to nd and
replace its sources of petroleum. The worlds slowing
economy has also pushed down prices for the crude it sells.
But the lower prices had benets. Prots at Chevrons
rening and marketing business rose 80 percent. Its
reneries paid less for oil while selling gasoline at higher
prices on the U.S. West Coast. Pump prices there remained
well above the national average last quarter because of
supply problems in the region.
Business briefs
By Christina Rexrode
NEW YORK Faced with Facebook,
Starbucks and Angela Merkel, the market
chose to focus on Merkel.
For a second day, the U.S. stock market
powered higher after European leaders,
including German chancellor Merkel,
pledged to protect the union of 17 coun-
tries that use the euro. The Dow Jones
industrial average blew past 13,000, a key
psychological marker that it hadnt hit
since early May.
It wasnt that there werent any trou-
bling signs about the economy. In fact,
they abounded: U.S. economic growth
was anemic in the second quarter. A
measure of consumer sentiment fell in
July as people worried about their job
prospects. And Facebook and Starbucks
dropped sharply after reporting disap-
pointing quarterly results.
But on this day, investors homed in on
a couple of remarks coming from Europe.
Most notably, Merkel and French pres-
ident Francois Hollande released a joint
statement saying they were determined
to do everything to protect the eurozone.
That followed a similar pledge the day
before from Mario Draghi, the president
of the European Central Bank.
Merkels statement was closely
watched because Germany will have to
sign on if any plan to keep the euro coun-
tries together is to succeed. As one of the
stronger countries, Germany usually foots
the bill for bailing out the weaker ones.
For all the rejoicing, a longstanding
roadblock remains: Strong countries like
Germany want other European nations to
agree to cut spending. Weaker countries
like Greece are resisting. The statement
from Merkel and Hollande made clear
that individual countries arent off the
hook, but must comply with their obli-
gations meaning a showdown over
spending cuts is still possible.
Talk is cheap, said Michael Strauss,
chief investment strategist and chief econ-
omist at the Commonfund investment
rm in Connecticut. While theres some
euphoria over this, at the end of the day, is
Spain going to still be in a recession? Yes.
Is Greece still going to be in a recession?
Yes. So I wouldnt get too carried away.
Others said they were heartened that
Europe appeared to be eshing out more
of the details of its plans. Leaders recent-
ly agreed that Europes bailout fund could
give money directly to banks, rather than
slowing down the process by going
through a countrys government.
Investors also hope that Draghis remarks
mean that Europes powerful central bank
will buy the bonds of distressed countries
like Spain and Italy, lowering their bor-
rowing costs.

Big movers

OLYMPIA, Wash. Amazon.com
founder Jeff Bezos waded into a devel-
oping corporate culture war over gay
marriage Friday with a $2.5 million
donation to keep same-sex unions legal
in Washington, becoming the latest in a
list of high-prole executives to take
public stands on a hot election issue.
Bezos joins Microsoft co-founder Bill
Gates and companies like Starbucks Inc.
and Nike Inc. with support to the cam-
paign to uphold Washingtons law. And
while fast-food chain Chick-l-A set off
a furor opposing same-sex unions this
month, other companies including
big names like General Mills and
Nabisco are brushing off fears that
support for gay marriage could hurt their
bottom line.
Gay rights advocates say the activism
sends a strong message.
Companies are a bellwether of what
is in the mainstream, said Marc
Solomon, the national campaign manag-
er for Freedom to Marry, a New York-
based group that advocates for same-sex
marriage. When you have some of the
mainstays of corporate leadership stand
up, thats important. It sends a powerful
message about where our society is right
now.
Solomon and other national advocates
say the donation by Bezos and his wife,
MacKenzie, is the largest publicly
reported gift to support a gay marriage
ballot measure, noting that some gay
marriage opponents have tried to shield
their donor lists.
Washington is one of four states with
gay marriage measures on the ballot this
November. Washington and Maryland
both legalized gay marriage this year,
but will also have public referendums
this fall. In Maine, voters will decide on
an initiative to approve same-sex mar-
riage three years after voters overturned
a state law. And in Minnesota, voters
will decide whether to pass a constitu-
tional amendment to ban gay marriage.
Same-sex marriage is legal in New
York, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Vermont and
Washington, D.C.
Food giant General Mills Inc., based
in the Minneapolis suburb of Golden
Valley, Minn., publicly spoke out against
the states proposed amendment that
would ban gay marriage, as well as
Thomson Reuters, and St. Jude Medical,
and executives including the co-owners
of the Minnesota Twins. Even more
national brands Nabisco, J.C. Penney
and Minnesota-based Target among
them have stuck with recent, gay-
themed advertising.

SAN FRANCISCO Twenty-nine
states have reached a $151 million set-
tlement in a lawsuit alleging one of the
countrys largest drug wholesalers inat-
ed prices for hundreds of prescription
drugs, ofcials said Friday.
The agreement with San Francisco-
based McKesson Corp. settles allega-
tions that the company deliberately
inated drug prices by as much as 25
percent, causing the states Medicaid
programs to overpay millions of dollars
in reimbursements. An investigation by
state and federal agencies found that
McKesson inated the prices of more
than 1,400 brand-name drugs, including
these commonly prescribed medications
such as Adderall, Allegra, Ambien,
Celexa, Lipitor, Neurontin, Prevacid,
Prozac and Ritalin, ofcials said.
California, where the alleged overpay-
ments went on from August 2001 to
December 2009, will receive about $24
million of the settlement, said state
Attorney General Kamala Harris.
In these difcult budget times, it is
crucial that Californias scarce public
resources support the urgent needs of
our state, Harris said in a statement.
We cannot allow dollars meant for
patients to be diverted to inate corpo-
rate prots.
McKesson representative Kris Fortner
said the claims against the company are
without merit, but given the inherent
uncertainty of litigation, we determined
that this settlement was in the best inter-
est of our employees, customers, suppli-
ers and shareholders.
We did not manipulate drug prices
and did not violate any laws, Fortner
said.

NEW YORK Investors are
dumping Facebooks stock, spooked
by slowing revenue growth, the lack
of a financial outlook and plans to
spend more money in the coming
months.
Are they right?
Only if they are thinking in the short
term. Investors can expect Facebooks
stock to be volatile for a few years.
But analysts say those willing to wait
will likely be rewarded someday.
I view it as a tomorrow stock, says
Christian Bertelsen, chief investment
officer at wealth management firm
Global Financial Private Capital.
The whole thing on Facebook is,
look, if your time horizon is hourly,
weekly or even monthly, this is not the
stock for you, he adds. You need to
take a much longer-term view on it.
Thats about three or four years, he
says.
Founded in CEO Mark Zuckerbergs
Harvard dorm room in 2004,
Facebook was a product of the PC era.
Now, in the age of mobile computing,
a growing number of people are
accessing Facebook through their
iPhones, Android gadgets and tablet
computers. Yet Facebook is only now
starting to figure out how to make
money from its mobile audience.
Facebooks stock sinks, so who should buy it?
Friend or foe, U.S. gymnasts dont mind who watches
By Nancy Armour
LONDON Aly Raisman can
almost feel the eyes on her as she
and her U.S. gymnastics team-
mates nish their training session.
Sure enough, shell look up and
see a couple of heads in the door-
way.
Russians, usually. Sometimes
the Romanians.
"We always try and do a little
better, Raisman said with the hint
of a smirk, maybe intimidate
them a bit.
If there were any doubts the
American women are the ones to
beat at the London Olympics,
theyve been erased by the amateur
espionage the last few days.
When the Americans opened
Thursdays podium training ses-
sion with a barrage of Amanars,
the high-scoring vaults that might
very well decide the gold medal, a
Chinese coach made sure he had a
front-row seat. Russian coach
Alexander Alexandrov just hap-
pened to make his way to the bath-
room when the Americans were
doing vault one day, and couldnt
resist stopping for a minute or two.
They watch us, we dont watch
them, U.S. coach John Geddert
said.
Now, before the Americans are
accused of being overcondent,
theyve had their London plan in
mind for a while now. The gym-
nasts upgraded their routines
months ago, and those monster
vaults have been in the works for
several years. If the Russians,
Romanians or defending Olympic
champion Chinese unveil some
new tricks, theres not a whole lot
the Americans can do about it now.

49ers open camp with
sights set on Super Bowl
SANTA CLARA Alex Smith jokingly
compared his blossoming relationship with
wide receiver Randy Moss to a new girlfriend.
Jim Harbaugh offered
excitement, angst and little
insight all at once. Moss
even offered his opinion
again.
And so it began.
The day the San
Francisco 49ers had wait-
ed for since losing to the
New York Giants in over-
time of the NFC champi-
onship game in January
nally arrived Friday, beginning training camp
ahead of the franchises most anticipated sea-
son in more than a decade.
You sense so many emotions, said an
ever-enthusiastic Harbaugh, the reigning NFL
Coach of the Year. Theyre off-the-charts
kind of emotions. Theres extreme excitement.
Theres nervousness. Theres anticipation.
Theres angst. How do I know they have the
emotions? Because Ive got them, too.
Easy to see why.
The NFC West champions return every
starter from one of the NFLs best defenses,
which propelled resurgent San Francisco back
to prominence after nine years out of the play-
offs. The offense also added receivers Moss,
Mario Manningham and rst-round pick A.J.
Jenkins along with running backs Brandon
Jacobs and rookie LaMichael James.
All are on the eld together with one goal
this season: a Super Bowl title.
I dont like living off the past but its hard
to forget the past when you start having suc-
cess, said the 35-year-old Moss, who spoke
to reporters for the rst time since he signed a
one-year deal March 12 after a year away
from football. I see the expectations we have
for one another, and as a whole unit, we set the
bar high. The good thing is we come to work.
Everybody is attentive, taking notes, asking
questions. Everybody is a professional athlete.
The sky is the limit.
Day One of training camp was more about
show than substance.
San Francisco held a pad-free practice under
a blue sky and temperatures in the 70s at the
teams Silicon Valley headquarters, where
cranes and bulldozers are blasting all around
the facility as workers are months into build-
ing a planned $1.2 billion stadium that the
49ers hope to open for the 2014 season.
While its easy to see the teams future ris-
ing all around, how strong the presents foun-
dation will be is harder to project.
Harbaugh has ingrained it in players to get
better each day which has also become his
routine answer to most questions and plas-
tered the motivational slogans all over the
facility since last year. But staying focused
and not looking too far ahead will be a bigger
challenge this season than ever.
Expectations are soaring following a 13-3
regular season and that thrilling 36-32 victory
over the favored New Orleans Saints in the
divisional round of the playoffs showed Smith
the 2005 No. 1 overall pick who had been
booed for most of his career might be a
reliable quarterback after all. So many since
have selected San Francisco as a Super Bowl
favorite, a moniker that brings added pressure
and attention, both of which Harbaugh tries to
deect.
We have great expectations. We have big
hopes. Weve got big dreams, Harbaugh said.
As it relates to our expectations, they are to
go out and have a great practice this afternoon,
and great expectations for tonights meeting.
The other things are irrelevant at this point.
How the quarterback plays this season will
be most relevant.
Smith showed incredible efciency last sea-
son, tossing 17 touchdown passes to only ve
interceptions. But he also ranked 19th in the
NFL with a career-high 3,144 yards passing
and struggled to nd wide receivers in the
NFC title game.
After the 49ers flirted with free agent
Peyton Manning until he chose Denver, they
settled on Smith with a three-year deal that
has some $16.5 million guaranteed. Now
Smith also has a retooled receiver corps that is
expected to signicantly improve a passing
game that relied mostly on tight ends last year.
First thing on the agenda: developing a rela-
tionship with Moss just not that kind of a
relationship.
No one-on-one date yet. Were not there
just yet, still more in the courting stage,
Smith joked when asked if he and Moss have
spent any time together off the eld yet.
Were not exclusive.
Both will have plenty of time to get more
acquainted.
Alex Smith
Niners Aldon Smith apologizes
SANTA CLARA Aldon Smith wants all
San Francisco 49ers fans and teammates to
know hes sorry for two off-the-eld incidents
since last season ended that threatened to
derail his life and career.
In his rst public com-
ments since he was
stabbed at his home last
month, Smith said Friday
that letting everybody
down was probably the
saddest part. He also was
charged in late January
with driving under the
inuence in Miami Beach.
Smith said he had sta-
ples inserted to close the stab wounds and hes
now fully recovered and wont miss any time
in training camp. He declined to elaborate on
the incident or his injuries.
I just feel after the incidents that happened
and the expectations that were set for me, I
feel like I let the fans and everybody that
looked at me like that down, Smith said
before the teams rst training camp practice
in the afternoon. Its helped my focus out.
Im really focused more than ever, not to say
that I wasnt in the beginning. But Im focused
more than ever and Im ready to go.
Smith was drafted seventh overall last year
and racked up a franchise-rookie record 14
sacks best among NFL rookies to go
with two forced fumbles. He nished runner-
up to Denvers Von Miller for The Associated
Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year
award.
Converted from a defensive end out of
Missouri, Smith piled up highlights next to
All-Pros Justin Smith, Patrick Willis and
NaVorro Bowman at a remarkable rate. After
all, he never started once something thats
expected to change this season as he continues
to blossom.
So when Smith was stabbed twice at his San
Jose home during a party June 29, the incident
raised concerns at 49ers headquarters. Coach
Jim Harbaugh said he has spoken with Smith
about the transgressions but will keep the con-
versations theyve had private.
Smith enters his second year with another
added twist.
The 22-year-old is working to be more than
just a pass-rushing outside linebacker in a 3-4
scheme this offseason.
The demanding shift requires more smarts
and athleticism than anything the linebacker
did as a rookie, and its a hurdle he knows he
has to clear if he ever wants to be considered
a Pro Bowl talent.
The 6-foot-4, 258-pounder is adjusting to
chasing running backs and receivers in hopes
of being an every down player and a starter
for a defensive unit that propelled resurgent
San Francisco to a 13-3 regular season and an
overtime loss in the NFC championship game
to the New York Giants. Hes hoping to play a
bigger role for a team considered a strong
Super Bowl contender.
Now hes also hoping not to miss any more
time.

As use big ninth for win
BALTIMORE Jemile Weeks hit an RBI
single to give Oakland the lead during a six-
run ninth inning against All-Star closer Jim
Johnson, and the Athletics beat the Baltimore
Orioles 14-9 on Friday night in a back-and-
forth duel that featured 31 hits and lasted four
hours.
The Athletics led 5-0 in the second inning
and 8-6 in the eighth, yet fell behind on each
occasion before rallying back.
After Baltimore scored three runs in the
eighth to go up 9-8, Oakland pounded
Johnson (1-1) for six runs on six hits and a
walk in the ninth. The Orioles fell to 41-1
when leading after eight innings.
Chris Carter and Brandon Hicks homered
for the As, who have won 12 of 14, and Seth
Smith tied a career high with ve RBIs.
Johnson got the rst out in the ninth before
Carter and Brandon Inge singled. Derek
Norris tied it with a bad-hop single and, after
a walk to Brandon Moss, Weeks put Oakland
in front for good with a single to left. Coco
Crisp followed with a two-run single and
Smith doubled in two runs.
Jerry Blevins (4-0) was given credit for the
win by the ofcial scorer because Oakland
closer Ryan Cook was ineffective in the
eighth.
Adam Jones and Chris Davis homered and
J.J. Hardy had three RBIs for the Orioles, who
have lost four of ve.
Baltimore overcame a 5-0 decit to take a
6-5 lead in the fth, then fell behind 8-6
before moving in front in the eighth against an
Oakland bullpen that was 7-0 with a 1.96
ERA since the All-Star break.
Dodgers draw first blood
SAN FRANCISCO Dodgers newcomer
Hanley Ramirez hit a two-run homer in the
10th inning and Los Angeles beat the San
Francisco Giants 5-3 on Friday night in a
matchup of the top two teams in the NL West.
Two days after being acquired from Miami
in a trade meant to boost the Dodgers offense
and playoff hopes, the slugging inelder went
hitless in his rst four at-bats against the
Giants before homering to left-center on an 0-
1 pitch from reliever Sergio Romo (3-2).
Andre Ethier, who walked ahead of
Ramirezs home run, had two hits and scored
twice to help pull Los Angeles within two
games of rst-place San Francisco. James
Loney and Juan Rivera also had two hits
apiece for the Dodgers.
The Giants, looking to bolster their light-
hitting offense, obtained veteran infielder
Marco Scutaro from Colorado in a deal that
was announced during the game.
Ramirezs 15th home run of the season
extended a stellar start to his Los Angeles
career. He had three hits in the rst two games
with his new club and is batting .364 since the
trade from the Marlins.
The Dodgers slugger also made a potential
run-saving play in the eld when he dove into
foul territory to catch a throw from rookie
pitcher Stephen Fife for a forceout following
Matt Cains attempted sacrice bunt in the
fourth.
Ramirez had to wait a little bit before cele-
brating his big blow against the Giants, how-
ever.
Kenley Jansen gave up back-to-back singles
to Melky Cabrera and Buster Posey to open
the bottom of the 10th. Jansen struck out the
next two batters and then got Joaquin Arias to
y out for his 20th save.
Shawn Tolleson (1-0) pitched one inning for
his rst win in the majors.

LONDON The three Americans in the
rst Olympic womens boxing tournament
have learned how ckle the draw can be.
While yweight Marlen Esparza and mid-
dleweight Claressa Shields both drew rst-
round byes Friday, lightweight Queen
Underwood was assigned one of the toughest
paths to gold imaginable.
Underwood must ght British medal con-
tender Natasha Jonas in front of her home
crowd in the rst round. The winner will meet
Irelands Katie Taylor, the top-ranked light-
weight thought to be the best female boxer at
the Olympics.
Shes going from one top person to the No.
1, U.S. assistant coach Gloria Peek told the
Associated Press. Queen can rise to the occa-
sion, though. She has done it before, and she
can do it again.
Taylor has beaten Underwood three times in
previous meetings, but Peek sees no reason to
be discouraged.
When you have a difcult ght early, it just
becomes more important that theyre mentally
ready right away, Peek said. Any country
can be beaten. We just have to make sure
were focused.
The rest of the 285 ghters in the eld also
learned their rst-round fates during the long
proceedings at ExCel, the multisport venue
hosting the boxing tournaments. Most of the
worlds top-ranked ghters received byes,
which means they wont begin until well into
next week, but the draws prime importance in
amateur boxing was emphasized yet again
particularly for the women pioneers.
The ve-day womens tournament features
just 12 ghters in each of its three weight
classes, which means a medal is within rela-
tively easy reach. While Underwood faces a
major challenge, Esparza and Shields and
Canadian middleweight Mary Spencer, who
also drew a bye must win just one bout to
be guaranteed at least bronze. A gold medal is
just three wins away.
Cool. A step closer to my dream, the 17-
year-old Shields tweeted.
American bantamweight Joseph Diaz Jr. is
scheduled to meet Ukraines Pavlo Ishchenko
in the Olympics rst bout Saturday, and the
Los Angeles-area native got a draw that could
showcase his vibrant talent or send him
home early.
Diaz, who already has attracted interest
from professional promoters, drew a difcult
start against Ishchenko, the silver medalist at
the AIBA European qualifying event earlier
this year. The winner will face Cubas top-
ranked Lazaro Alvarez, the world champion.
Just how I wanted it! Diaz tweeted.
The Americans two biggest boxers also
face daunting challenges. Heavyweight
Michael Hunter and super heavyweight
Dominic Breazeale will face difcult Russian
opponents in the rst round, with a looming
second-round matchup against the top seeds
in two divisions that require just two wins to
guarantee a podium nish.
There were a couple (of draws) I would
have liked to be a little different, Peek said.
We got some strong opponents for a couple
of our boxers, but weve got some of the top
ghters, too.
No eye-catching matchups immediately
stood out in the mens draw nothing com-
pared to the rst-round matchup in Beijing
between featherweights Vasyl Lomachenko
and Albert Selimov. Lomachenkos stylish
victory over the Russian world champion set
the Ukrainian on course for his rst gold
medal and the Val Barker Trophy as the
Olympics top boxer.
Lomachenko is back as the top-seeded
lightweight in London, facing Colombias
Eduar Marriaga or Dominicas Wellington
Arias in his debut in the second round
Thursday. American lightweight Jose
Ramirez, who nearly beat Lomachenko at last
years world championships, meets Frances
Rachid Azzedine in the rst round Sunday.
Chinese light yweight Zou Shiming must

from the Beijing Games after getting a rst-
round bye as the top-seeded ghter. Irelands

also received an outstanding draw and a rst-
round bye.
Flyweight Raushee Warren, the rst three-
time Olympic boxer in U.S. history, got a rst-
round bye as a No. 3 seed. After losing his rst
bouts in Athens and Beijing, the Cincinnati
native will get his third chance to win his rst
Olympic fight when he faces Frances
Nordine Oubaali or Afghanistans Ajmal
Faisal in the second round next Friday.
Olympic boxing field set
after all-important draw
U.S. water polo vets look for gold
LONDON The surprise silver medalists
of Beijing are hoping for the title this time
around.
The United States brought an experienced
mens water polo team to London thats deter-
mined to improve on its strong nish four
years ago.
The American roster includes two four-time
Olympians and four players who played in
three previous games, including captain Tony
Azevedo. Only three London players are rst-
time Olympians.
With clock ticking on their Olympic ambi-
tions, Azevedo and the other veterans made a
decision last year to forgo lucrative club con-
tracts in Europe and train together as a team.
It was a big decision on all of our parts,
obviously playing overseas, and money and
all of that, Azevedo said, but all of us do this
sport because we love it and we love each
other and we want to win the gold and we
want to be the best.
They spent seven months together in the
run-up to the London Games. The team
observed a six-day-a-week workout schedule.
For three days, the players would lift weights
for two hours in the morning quickly followed
by two hours in the pool, and then another 2?
hours in the water in the evening. The other
three days, they did just one three-hour block.
Coach Terry Schroeder said the intensity
and intimacy of the Olympic preparations will
help the U.S. succeed in London.
Thats something that is really going to
make a difference here, Schroeder said. We
have learnt a lot about each other. This has
given us a chance to really work through some
of the issues of respect and trust and love and
I think we are at a really good place going into
the games.
The United States hasnt won gold in water
polo since the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis.
The Americans have nished second three
times Los Angeles, Seoul and Beijing.
Berg wants gold before ending career
LONDON Lindsey Berg only has 17
more days before she walks away from vol-
leyball for good.
But before that, shed like an Olympic gold
medal.
Berg is captain of the U.S. womens nation-
al team, which has never won gold. The team
is among the favorites when the volleyball
competition at the London Games opens
Saturday.
During training in London this week, the
three-time Olympian was emphatic about her
impending retirement.
Im OK with being done, she said. But
Ive still got work to do.
Berg has been a mainstay on the national
team since 2003. She has also played profes-
sionally in Italy for seven years and volleyball
has provided a comfortable lifestyle.
But the sport has taken its toll. Berg says her
knees hurt all the time. And while Italy was
a life-changing experience, playing profes-
sionally and being on the U.S. team was a
nearly year-round job.
Ive had an incredible run. It was amazing
and it changed my life. I grew up, she said.
But its not as easy as it looks.
Shes not looking past the task in London.
The United States won the silver medal at
the Beijing Games, falling to Brazil in the
nal match.
Coach Lang Ping retired afterward and
Hugh McCutcheon, coach of the gold medal-
winning U.S. mens team, shifted over to the
womens side for the four-year period leading
to London. Since then, the team has gone 99-
37.
The United States took over top spot in the
world rankings at the end of 2011, ending
Brazils four-year run at No. 1. The women
qualied for the Olympics in November with
a silver-medal nish in the FIVB World Cup.
The Brazilian women are ranked second by
volleyballs international governing body, and
as the defending Olympic champions theyre
considered among the favorites in London
with the United States. Both teams play in the
same pool along with China, Serbia, Turkey
and South Korea.
Italy, Russia, Japan, Algeria, the Dominican
Republic and host Britain make up the other
six-team pool.
The top four teams to emerge out of each
pool will advance to the quarternals. The
medal matches at Earls Court are set for Aug.
11.

The womens competition begins Sunday
with qualifying. The team nal is Tuesday
night.
And, lets be honest, the Americans have
earned the right to strut a little. They are, after
all, the reigning world champions, beating
Russia by four points last fall in a rout.
Jordyn Wieber is the world all-around
champion, and her only two losses since 2008
have been to American teammates. McKayla
Maroney won the vault title at worlds, while
Raisman took home a bronze on oor exercise
and was fourth in the all-around. Gabby
Douglas upstaged Wieber at the Olympic tri-
als, and her uneven bars performance is a bet-
ter show than anything those circus acrobats
can do.
To me, it doesnt make a difference what
theyre doing if we do what we do, said
Geddert, also Wiebers personal coach.
Were not going to change anything because
theyre doing something else. Were going to
do what we do.
Despite winning three of the last ve team
titles at the world championships, the
Americans have won only one Olympic gold
medal, and that was back in 1996 with The
Magnicent Seven. But this is the deepest
team, top to bottom, the U.S. has had since
Atlanta, and those show-stopping vaults could
give the Americans a decisive advantage.
The Amanar is worth 0.7 points more than
most other gymnasts vault. Execution scores
still have to be factored in, of course. But
assuming each American does an Amanar in
team nals, where three gymnasts compete on
each event and all three scores count, the U.S.
could build a sizable lead over Russia,
Romania and China with just one event.

U.S. basketball has fashionably late Olympic arrival
LONDON The U.S. mens Olympic bas-
ketball team is favored to win again, and some
think its a matter of the players just showing
up.
If thats the case, they could be in real trou-
ble.
Showing up anywhere has been difcult for
the Americans, whose traveling woes have
nothing to do with a call by the referee.
Friday they arrived nearly 20 minutes after
the scheduled start for their opening press
conference, making anxious photographers
wait extra long for that first click when
LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and the rest of
the reigning gold medalists walked in.
Two days weve had nothing but issues
with transportation. No ones fault in particu-
lar, just general, USA Basketball chairman
Jerry Colangelo said. Weve been through so
many neighborhoods, when this is over were
going to be able to do a little history on the
city of London.
The bus carrying the U.S. team Friday drove
to the wrong gate, which when the heightened
security is factored in at an Olympics venue,
may as well be the wrong city. The team had a
similar problem on its rst
trip to see the basketball
arena Thursday, along
with going to the wrong
place after its arrival in
London from Barcelona,
Spain.
U.S. coach Mike
Krzyzewski joked that he
wants his team to be as
consistent with its shoot-
ing as the teams bus driv-
ers have been with their loss of direction.
So far weve gotten lost on every one of
our bus trips, so right now it feels chaotic, he
said.
Theyll hope to have an easier time guring
out the route to the gold medal podium.
Before arriving in London, things had been
going more smoothly for the Americans. They
t in ve exhibition victories around the casi-
nos of Las Vegas, a meeting with President
Barack Obama in Washington before taking a
day off to enjoy the sun and shops of Spain on
Wednesday.
U.S. guard Russell Westbrook looked like
he had just come from Barcelona, wearing
shower shoes along with his U.S. basketball
warmup suit.
The Americans arent quite the megastars
they were four years in Beijing, where basket-
ball was wildly popular. Still, theyre different
than almost all the other athletes here, that
being reinforced when the communications
ofcial reminded media that the press confer-
ence time shouldnt be used for player auto-
graphs or personal photos.
But the players are trying to act like regular
Olympians, touring the athletes village
Thursday and meeting fellow American com-
petitors such as sprinter Tyson Gay and swim-
mer Jason Lezak.

U.S. women ready for Croatia in Olympic opener
LONDON Diana Taurasi and the U.S.
womens basketball team open play Saturday
against a team they just pounded by 54 points.
Not that the opponent matters.
Taurasi and the rest of the squad say theyre
just ready to play.
The U.S. begins its quest for a fth straight
gold medal against Croatia, which the
Americans beat 109-55 a week ago in
Istanbul.
Were anxious to nally get on the court
and play and get rid of those feelings of being
anxious and nervous or whatever feelings any-
one on the team has, Taurasi said. The only
way to get them out is to play in games. Well
be ready.
The U.S. has only had two weeks together
to train since the WNBA season went on its
Olympic hiatus. But anything less than anoth-
er gold medal would be considered a colossal
failure for the overwhelming favorite.
We have one goal in mind and thats to
win, said point guard Sue Bird, who will be
playing in her third Olympics. For us, I think
with our limited training time even as we start
the games, the learning part is not over. We
have to take each game and improve. I know
people will say were playing Croatia they
beat them by 54 its another opportunity to
play together and get better.
Thats how well keep progressing.
Despite the lopsided victory seven days ago,
Taurasi expects the Croatians will play better
on Saturday.
It means nothing, Taurasi said of the exhi-
bition blowout. I think weve been around
plenty of tournaments and plenty of competi-
tions where that means nothing.

South Citys Pozzi breaks gender barriers
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
South San Franciscos Gina Pozzi
sunk her cleats into the batters box
dirt, preparing herself to hit. And
out of nowhere, rising slowly from
the crowd watching her Baseball
Without Borders team play, a chant
began.
Gina. Gina. Gina.
It was like something out of a
Rocky movie, said Baseball
Without Borders president Juan
Bustos. She had earned their
respect.
The scene was slightly different
seeing as though Pozzi hadnt
chopped down a mighty Russian in
a ring surrounded by hostile for-
eigners. But much like Balboa,
Pozzi had accomplished what she
and her coaches set out to do during
a recent trip to San Martino, Italy.
Pozzi had broken barriers. And she
did it with her bat and glove.
Of the 11 players from the South
San Francisco Baseball Without
Borders team that traveled to Italy
earlier in July, Pozzi was the only
girl. At 15, she is entering her soph-
omore year at South San Francisco
High School where last year as a
freshman, she made the frosh/soph
baseball team, but bypassed that
opportunity to play softball for the
Warriors instead. For Pozzi though,
playing with the boys is nothing
new. And when Bustos locked in the
trip to Italy, he knew it was a jour-
ney Pozzi had to make.
She was coming, whether she
wanted to or not, Bustos said.
Travel teams arent a mystery to
Pozzi. In 2010, Bustos said Pozzi
was the rst girl to make a travel
team to Cooperstown, N.Y. and, in a
sense, the 15-year old has been
groomed for BWBs trip to Italy
since the age of 5 when she started
playing baseball under the watchful
eye of her older brother, now 22.
Gina t perfect, Bustos said.
She is the second girl to go on a
BWB trip. Back in 1995, Danielle
Brenner (who would later play soft-
ball for the College of San Mateo)
went to Mexicali. And I believe
Gina can do either, whether she
chooses to play baseball or soft-
ball.
The hitting is a little different,
Pozzi said, the distance between
the bases in shorter. Other than that,
its just getting used to playing with
boys or girls.
Bustos said Pozzi jelled perfectly
with the boys on the BWB team. As
a rst baseman and pitcher, it wasnt
just about bringing her along for
appearances. Pozzi is a ball player.
And it was only a matter of time
after landing in Italy that she got a
chance to prove it.
When I talked to the Italians
about [bringing a girl], Bustos said.
I thought they might not be open to
it. I thought they would say no. But
their whole view about it was, it
doesnt matter [if shes a boy or
girl], lets play baseball.
When we got out there, we
expected the Italian [players] to
look at us without a lot of respect
for her baseball, Bustos said. But
when she got into the box and start-
ed hitting line drives, getting base
hits up the middle or hitting the ball
into the outeld, she gained their
respect. They found out there were
no borders for her.
Everyone was really respectful,
Pozzi said. It was very nice to see.
By the end of the trip, they were the
kind of people that would do any-
thing for you.
Anything, including walk to the
dugout after a Pozzi threw a strike-
out.
I couldnt wait to see her pitch,
Bustos said. I couldnt wait to see
her take the eld. She did exactly
like I expected her to do. She played
well. Her bat was alive throughout
the tournament and got really heavy
near the end. But my goal was to
have the Italians see what a girl can
do when she puts her mind to it. As
the games progressed, people start-
ing asking, wheres Gina? Shes
good. She needs to play.
The cultural experience and
everything we did over there was
amazing, Pozzi said, in a sense a
tad oblivious to the fact that shes
turned out to be quite the barrier-
breaker.
I was very proud of Gina,
Bustos said. That was one of my
goals. And she played exactly like I
knew she would, like I knew she
could.
As the 2012-2013 school year
approaches, Pozzi said she intends
on playing softball for the Warriors
and concentrating on earning a
scholarship to play ball at the col-
lege level. And if that doesnt work
out, Bustos said the vice president
of softball operations position at
BWB is hers already.
Im one of her biggest fans,
Bustos said.
And apparently, shes made many
more overseas, so much so that
Pozzis favorite moment revolved
around signing autographs after the
BWB team won the San Martino
tournament.
They made her feel like a star,
Bustos said.
We dont discriminate against
anyone, Bustos said when asked if
he was open to taking another girl
on a future BWB trip. So if theres
a young lady out there that wants to
work hard and can gel with the
team, shes more than welcomed.
But itd be hard to nd someone of
Ginas caliber. I believe in her so
much. Gina is quite special.

Ghost Guerrero heads back into ring after injury
SAN JOSE A sixth world title
and a possible big-money date with
Floyd Mayweather Jr. pale in com-
parison to whats really on the line
for Robert Guerrero each time he
steps into the boxing ring.
After putting his career on hold to
help his wife battle through
leukemia, Guerrero is ghting for
all those patients waiting for a donor
like the one who saved Casey
Guerreros life two years ago.
A win on Saturday night in San
Jose over Selcuk Aydin (23-0, 17
k n o c k -
o u t s )
would give
Guer r er o
( 2 9 - 1 - 1 ,
18 knock-
outs) the
interim WBC welterweight title and
a bigger platform to encourage peo-
ple to sign up for bone marrow
donor registries.
Thats a huge part of it, letting
people know how they can help save
people, Guerrero said. As a profes-
sional athlete, Ive been blessed to
perform in front of millions of peo-
ple around the world. Its my obliga-
tion to go out there and bring aware-
ness and hope to this issue. I dont
just ght for myself but I ght for
the cause of saving people and
bringing awareness to donors.
This issue has been at the fore-
front for Guerrero ever since his
wife was first diagnosed with
leukemia in October 2007, just days
before Robert knocked out Martin
Honorio in the rst round before
returning to Caseys side.
Guerrero soon balanced ghting,
taking care of his childhood sweet-
heart and raising his 7-year-old
daughter Savannah and 5-year-old
son Robert Jr.
Some nights were spent on the
hospital oor as Casey struggled
with the disease, seeing her weight
drop to under 100 pounds as chemo
and cancer ravaged her once healthy
body. Other days, hed drive the hour
back home to Gilroy to be with his
kids, often breaking down in tears
because of the overwhelming situa-
tion.
I know it was difcult for him
because he had to be the mom and
the dad, taking care of the kids,
Casey said recently in the backyard
of the couples home in Gilroy, the
town just south of the Bay Area
where the Guerreros grew up and
rst started dating at age 14.

Fears grow over fate
of Syrian city of Aleppo
BEIRUT International concern was
mounting Friday over a potential massacre as
Syrian troops bombarded the besieged city of
Aleppo with artillery, strafed it with aircraft
and reportedly pulled in major reinforcements
ready to crush the outgunned rebels.
The battle is one of the most important of
the 17-month-old uprising. With a population
of about 3 million, Aleppo is Syrias largest
city and commercial hub, a key pillar of sup-
port for President Bashar Assads regime.
The rebels controlled several neighbor-
hoods but were facing reports of troops and
tanks massing outside the city. The nonstop
ghting in Aleppo already has claimed the
lives of at least 145 rebels and civilians in the
last six days, according to the Britain-based
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
U.N. High Commissioner for Human
Rights Navi Pillay expressed deep alarm,
saying in a statement that the reported build-
up of forces in and around Aleppo, bodes ill
for the people of that city ... it goes without
saying, that the increasing use of heavy
weapons, tanks, attack helicopters and
reportedly even jet ghters in urban areas
has already caused many civilian casualties.
In at least two formerly rebel-held Syrian
areas over the summer, Qubair and Houla,
hundreds of civilians were killed after pro-
regime militias moved in, according to
activists.
It has been a difcult two weeks for the
Syrian government with rebel assaults rst on
the capital, Damascus, and then on Aleppo, as
well as several high-prole defections and a
bomb that killed four top security ofcials.
Iran begins stockpiling
three-month food supply
TEHRAN, Iran An Iranian news agency
is reporting the country has begun to stockpile
a three-month supply of foodstuffs for its pop-
ulation.
The Friday report by semi-ofcial Mehr
quotes deputy industry minister Hasan
Radmard as saying the country has been buy-
ing wheat, cooking oil, sugar and rice for the
food reserve.
Radmard said the decision came based on a
decree by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
in recent weeks. Part of the purchased food-
stuffs has already been imported, he added.
Irans trade with other countries has been
hindered since the United States and the
European Union imposed a banking and
insurance embargo on Tehran over its disput-
ed nuclear program.
The West suspects Iran is pursuing nuclear
weapon, a charge Iran denies.
are awaiting trial. Allowing some men facing
lesser charges to be released while using an
electronic monitoring device should both
reduce the number of inmates and save the
county more than $100 per person, according
to the report. While there is no money to do
the necessary study, there is an evaluation sys-
tem in place that could be expanded, the
report found.
The Maguire Correctional Facility was built
to accommodate 688 inmates. It has had an
average population ranging from 829 to 1,012
over the last 10 years, according to the report.
A vast majority of the population in recent
years are pretrial detainees. In 2011, these
types of individuals represented 76 percent of
the inmates. Currently, San Mateo County
does not offer an electronic monitoring pro-
gram for such individuals.
Jail populations have been steadily increas-
ing since 2011 when a new law took effect
sending defendants of certain non-violent
crimes to county jails instead of state prisons
to serve their sentences. The California
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
projected San Mateo County will have at least
241 additional inmates daily as a result of the
new law. The Sheriffs Ofce, on the other
hand, estimates the number could be as high
as 300 to 400.
Those facing charges are screened and
interviewed by the Sheriffs Ofce during pre-
trial services. While most people in jail are
awaiting trial, many are there for charges that
would prohibit them for any kind of pre-trial
release, according to the civil grand jury
report. However, San Mateo County does
allow for some people to be released using
electronic monitoring for convicted individu-
als awaiting sentencing. As of June, nine peo-
ple were pre-sentenced detainees who were
using the electronic monitoring program,
according to the report.
The civil grand jury reported that the
Sheriffs Office opposed using electronic
monitoring for pre-trial detainees due to an
increase in violent crimes in the county.
However, statistics of arrests from 2001 to
2009 showed a steady level of such arrests,
according to the report.
Ultimately, the report found that using a
electronic monitoring program for pre-trial
detainees would cost $7 to $10 per day instead
of $169 for incarceration, not including mon-
itoring and supervision costs. Since there is no
reason to believe the situation will change
before a new jail is built, the report recom-
mends conducting an analysis of the feasibili-
ty of starting an electronic monitoring pro-
gram for pre-trial detainees that includes eli-
gibility and risk assessment, comparative
costs versus incarceration, societal risks and
benets and potential reduction of jail over-
crowding. If the report is favorable for such a
program, it is recommended that an imple-
mentation plan be created.
San Mateo County broke ground on the
cleanup of its new jail site earlier this month.
As currently envisioned, the 260,000-square-
foot jail will have 576 beds on three oors
topped by 40 feet of unnished space known
as the warm shell. The hybrid option was a
compromise size chosen by the Board of
Supervisors last year.
While the nal price tag remains a concern,
the recently passed state budget may offer
hope. The budget included jail construction
money and San Mateo County officials
believe they are in a very competitive position
to nab up to $100 million.
The jail itself is estimated to cost approxi-
mately $155 million with roughly $40 million
a year in operating expenses. County Manager
John Maltbie will bring a nancing plan back
to the Board of Supervisors this fall.
The jail design is anticipated for completion
by early next year following by bidding and
construction. Opening is scheduled for 2015.

irreverent. Boyle daringly included the Sex
Pistols Pretty Vacant and a snippet of its
version of God Save the Queen an anti-
establishment punk anthem once banned by
the BBC.
The encyclopedic review of modern British
music continued with a 1918 Broadway stan-
dard adopted by the West Ham football team,
the Rolling Stones (I Cant Get No)
Satisfaction and Bohemian Rhapsody, by
still another Queen, and other tracks too
numerous to mention, but not to dance to.
The evening started with ghter jets stream-
ing red, white and blue smoke and roaring
over the stadium, packed with a buzzing
crowd of 60,000 people, at 8:12 p.m. or
20:12 in the 24-hour time observed by
Britons.
Boyle, one of Britains most successful
filmmakers, who directed Slumdog
Millionaire and Trainspotting, had a ball
with his favored medium, mixing lmed pas-
sages with live action in the stadium to hyp-
notic effect, with 15,000 volunteers taking
part in the show.
Actor Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean pro-
vided laughs, shown dreaming that he was
appearing in Chariots of Fire, the inspiring
story of a Scotsman and an Englishman at the
1924 Paris Games.
There was a high-speed flyover of the
Thames, the river that winds like a vein
through London and was the gateway for the
citys rise over the centuries as a great global
hub of trade and industry.
Headlong rushes of movie images took
spectators on wondrous, heart-racing voyages
through everything British: a cricket match,
the London Tube and the roaring, abundant
seas that buffet and protect this island nation.
Opening the ceremony, children popped
balloons with each number from 10 to 1, lead-
ing a countdown that climaxed with Bradley
Wiggins, the newly crowned Tour de France
champion.
Wearing his yellow winners jersey,
Wiggins rang a 23-ton Olympic Bell from the
same London foundry that made Big Ben and
Philadelphias Liberty Bell. Its thunderous
chime was a nod to the British tradition of
pealing bells to celebrate the end of war and
the crowning of kings and queens, and now
for the opening of a 17-day festival of sports
Londons record third as host.
The show then shifted to a portrayal of idyl-
lic rural Britain a place of meadows, farms,
sport on village greens, picnics and Winnie-
the-Pooh, A.A. Milnes bear who has delight-
ed generations of British children tucked
warmly in bed.
But that green and pleasant land, to quote
poet William Blake, then took a darker, gritti-
er turn.
The set was literally torn asunder, the
hedgerows and farm fences carried away, as
Boyle shifted to the industrial transformation
that revolutionized Britain in the 18th and
19th centuries, the foundation for an empire
that reshaped world history. Belching chim-
neys rose where only moments earlier sheep
had trod.
The Industrial Revolution also produced
terrifying weapons, and Boyle built a moment
of hush into his show to honor those killed in
war.
This is not specic to a country. This is
across all countries, and the fallen from all
countries are celebrated and remembered, he
explained to reporters ahead of the ceremony.
Because, obviously, one of the penalties of
this incredible force of change that happened
in a hundred years was the industrialization of
war, and the fallen, he said. You know, mil-
lions fell.
Olympic organizers separately rejected calls
for a moment of silence for 11 Israeli athletes
and coaches slain by Palestinian gunmen at
the 1972 Munich Olympics.
The parade of nations featured most of the
roughly 10,500 athletes some planned to
stay away to save their strength for competi-
tion marching behind the ags of the 204
nations taking part.

E
very year on my birthday, my mom
wakes up early to make me my
favorite breakfast
pancakes with blue-
berry syrup on top. I
always awake to the
aroma of hot syrup being
made on the stove and
the sounds of bacon siz-
zling in the pan. Last
week on my 18th
birthday there
were no exceptions, only, that day
felt like more than just my birthday.
Other than knowing I would now be
considered a legal adult, it was almost
as if I were actually experiencing the
metaphor starting a new chapter in the sto-
rybook of life.
On my birthday, I began to reect on my
childhood and some of the more inuential
experiences Ive had thus far in my life. I
thought about everything from being the only
one in my kindergarten class who knew the
theme songs to Happy Days and The Brady
Bunch to how my being extremely shy as a
child gave way to my nding solace in writ-
ing. I thought about how I started writing
simple short stories that came from my imag-
ination and how the transition from creative
writing to essays in high school was harder
than I thought it would be.
I thought about the time my freshman
English teacher Mr. Raisner suggested I sign
up for journalism the next year. I did sign up,
but I did so fearing the power of the pen.
Now, after thinking about how much of an
inuence writing has had on me, Ive come
to the conclusion that getting into journalism
was the best decision I made in high school.
Im so grateful for the opportunities that

Suburban paranoia can be as funny as it can
be dangerous. But in The Watch, which was
renamed from Neighborhood Watch to dis-
tance itself from the Trayvon Martin killing in
Florida, the threat to an ordered Ohio town
isnt anything with contemporary resonance.
Its just aliens.
Thats the disappointing basis of The
Watch, which unfolds not in a way that might
have anything funny or enlightening to say
about picket-fence fearfulness, but simply
with conventional summer movie bombast.
Evan Troutwig (Ben Stiller) is as devoted to
Glenville, Ohio, as Max Fischer was to
Rushmore Academy. Though he and his wife
(an underused Rosemarie DeWitt) are trying
to have a kid, he puts most of his energy into
the town through various community groups
and his senior management position at Costco.
This is a particularly earnest Ben Stiller: I
dont have any black friends yet, but I am on
the market, he says. But Evans enthusiasm is
shattered when a friend and Costco security
guard (Joseph A. Nunez) is mysteriously
mauled overnight. When Evan makes neigh-
borhood safety his new cause (his sweatshirt:
No More Murders), his rally for support
draws derision and only three volunteers.
Theyre a motley lot: Bob, a father of a
teenager looking for a guys night out (Vince
Vaughn); Franklin, a police department-reject
with a buzz cut and switchblade (Jonah Hill);
and Jamarcus, a divorced, afroed Brit (the
wry, poised Richard Ayoade, who directed the
promising Submarine and nearly steals the
movie).
At this point, Vaughn (Wedding Crashers,
Old School) can claim suburbia to be his
domain. No one better typies the man-cave
father, the 9-to-5er, the frat boy with a family.
Vaughns family man isnt without parody
(he introduces himself as Bob with B,
chuckling mildly) but hes undiminished by
adulthoods trappings, full of crazy-eyed brio
and the manic positivity to, as he does in The
Watch, design neighborhood watch jackets

FROM REPACK TO RWAN-
DA: THE ORIGINS, EVOLU-
TION AND GLOBAL REACH
OF THE MOUNTAIN BIKE.
From its humble origins as a modi-
ed, single-speed clunker raced
downhill on the trails of Marin
County in the early 1970s, to
todays sophisticated machine used
for recreation, commuting and
international competitions, the
mountain bike has experienced a
remarkable transformation. A new
exhibition at the SFO Museum
focuses on the contributions by
Northern Californias mountain
bike designers and builders to the
development and evolution of the
mountain bike.
Thirty-ve years after the intro-
duction of the rst modern moun-
tain bikes in Mill Valley, they are
now ridden everywhere in the
world, including some of the most
remote locations from the
Himalayas to Timbuktu. In
Rwanda, one of the industrys
founders, from Palo Alto, is help-
ing to transform that nations econ-
omy through a series of bicycle-
related initiatives. The mountain
bikes impact is widespread and
deeply felt. Despite the insistence
by many of those early clunker rid-
ers that they werent out to change
the world, the bicycles they creat-
ed and the industry they pioneered
certainly have.
SFO Museum Curator of
Exhibitions Tim OBrien said,
Guest curator Joe Breeze is a true
pioneer of mountain biking.
Among the rst to ride modied
single-speed bikes down the trails
of Marins Mt. Tamalpais, Joe
designed and produced the rst
successful purpose-built mountain
bike, and has continued to make a
tremendous impact on the industry
right up to the present. His tireless
efforts to identify and locate so
many examples of historic moun-
tain bikes have resulted in an
extraordinary exhibition on this
subject. More than two dozen
mountain bikes will help shed light
on the fascinating work of San
Francisco Bay Area innovators
who made this history, many of
whom continue to chart the course
of the mountain bikes evolution.
From Repack to Rwanda: The
Origins, Evolution and Global
Reach of the Mountain Bike is
located pre-security in the
International Terminal Main Hall
Departures Lobby, San Francisco
International Airport. There is no
charge to view the exhibition.

DE YOUNG MUSEUM
HOSTS VISUAL ARTIST
TAMAR ASSAF. The de Young
Museum hosts Israeli-native visual
artist Tamar Assaf Aug. 1 through
Sept. 2 as part of the Fine Arts
Museums of San Franciscos
Artist-in-Residence Program.
Creating paintings that offer com-
mentary on the environment, Assaf
raises awareness of human impacts
on Earths fragile and ever-chang-
ing ecosystems. Observing
changes in her hometown of
Rehovot, Israel during her child-
hood compelled Assaf to observe
the environment more closely
throughout her worldwide travels.
Assafs art is a reection of this
heightened awareness, her educa-
tion in the natural sciences and art,
combined with her travel experi-
ence and her views on the environ-
ment, conservation and society.
Assaf uses palette knives to apply
paint using the impasto technique,
capturing cropped, close-up com-
positions from nature. Assaf focus-
es her August residency at the
museum on the non-native aquatic
species that are currently altering
the San Francisco Bay ecosystem.
As an artist-in-residence, Assaf
encourages visitors to engage and
join in her creative process of
researching, preparing, creating
and presenting works of art in the
Kimball Education Gallery at the
de Young Museum. Wednesday to
Sunday, 1 p.m. 5 p.m. and Friday
6 p.m. 8:45 p.m. Learn more

WEEKEND JOURNAL 21
By Derrik J. Lang
Its no secret that most massive-
ly multiplayer online games take
place in either fantasylands, sci-fi
galaxies or apocalyptic dominions,
which is why its so refreshing that
The Secret World is ambitiously set
in a twisted take on our own world
where apparently everything that ever
happened on The X-Files, Buffy the
Vampire Slayer and Fringe is real.
With The Secret World (Electronic
Arts, for PC, $49.99, with 30 days of
game time), developer Funcom has a
created a mythical virtual Earth popu-
lated with haunted houses, secret soci-
eties, vampire cults and zombie inva-
sions that feels completely distinct
from other titles in the genre like the
hugely popular World of Warcraft
and Star Wars: The Old Republic.
The adventures begin in New
York, London or South Korea,
depending on whether recruits
choose to join the clandestine
Illuminati, Templar or Dragon
factions. However, that deci-
sion hardly matters because
players of any ilk are quick-
ly dispatched to a dark
corner of New England
where they pursue
solo or together
all the same
quests.
T h e
S e c r e t
World has
abandoned a
typical class struc-
ture in favor of abili-
ties determined by
weapons such as shotguns,
swords, assault rifles and magi-
cal books. Players can equip
two at a time with a total of
s e v e n
active and passive abilities. The free-
dom is welcome, but it probably sounds
more groundbreaking for the genre than
it plays out.
While many quests are of the kill-an-
X-amount-of-this or fetch-a-Y-amount-
of-that variety, the developers have
neatly masked such MMO grinding
with storylines that are both spooky and
funny. Theyve also created mind-bog-
gling investigation and puzzle-based
missions, some of which require play-
ers to do stuff like decipher Morse code
or read the Bible.
However, such innovations are con-
tinually undermined by the games
cadre of glitches incomplete quest
descriptions, disappearing objects and
the like that continue to exist even
though the MMO went live more than
three weeks ago.
Its tough to be forgiving of such
bugs, as well as build enthusiasm for
investing time and money in The
Secret World when an online shop
stocked with virtual goodies requires
real cash for purchase, perhaps fore-
shadowing that this experience is
already headed toward a free-to-play
venture. That or the games makers are
just way too greedy.
To be certain, The Secret World is
an MMO for players more interested in
globe-spanning expeditions than gun-
toting raids. The player-versus-player
zones provide minimal action, and the
chances to bombard dungeons are
sparse. Unfortunately, those less com-
pelling diversions provide some of the
best opportunities to gain ability points
and nab the best loot.
Despite the shortcomings, The
Secret World is most certainly an
online role-playing game that should-
nt be kept secret. With its intoxi-
catingly cerebral blend of haunt-
ing landscapes, engaging plots
and thoughtful quests that actually
require a brain, The Secret World is
proof that an MMO doesnt have to
be mindless fun. Three out of four
stars.

Fred Willard says he did
nothing to warrant arrest
By Lynn Elber
LOS ANGELES Fred Willard said his recent lewd con-
duct arrest at an adult movie theater was very embarrassing
but insisted he did nothing wrong.
Its the last time Im going to listen to
my wife when she says, Why dont you
go and see a movie? Willard said during
an appearance Thursday on Jimmy
Fallons NBC show Late Night.
The 72-year-old actor and Fallon
cracked racy jokes about possible titles
for the movie that might have been play-
ing when Willard was arrested July 18
during a routine check by police at the
Hollywood-area theater.
Then the conversation turned serious for Willard, whose
credits include the movie Best in Show and guest roles on
Modern Family and other TV shows.
Fred, I know this must be a tough time, host Fallon
asked.
Its very embarrassing. Its as embarrassing as hell,
Willard replied. But let me say this: Nothing happened. I did
nothing wrong. Everything is being sorted out as we speak.
He has great respect for the police, Willard added, but if
youre in the wrong place at the wrong time, everything
seems suspicious.

for the gang with a aming, winged tiger
icon.
Some will say the act is old, but Vaughn
could do this as long as John Wayne played a
cowboy, as far as Im concerned. Watching
him marvel at each layer of a Russian nesting
doll, as he does here, is nearly worth the price
of admission.
The crew is slow to develop, harassed by
dismissive cops (a funny Will Forte) and egg-
throwing high-schoolers. But they make some
headway and eventually crack open the case:
Aliens are invading Glenville.
Action and comedy are nearly always
strange bedfellows, and The Watch is no
exception. Introducing extraterrestrials puts
the story on a familiar trajectory of chases
and explosions lled with mock-tough guy
slow motion. At this point, Jonah Hill point-
ing in slo-mo is getting a little tiresome.
The Watch was originally drafted by
Jared Stern to be a younger, PG-13 movie
with Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum)
directing, but that changed when Seth Rogan,
Evan Goldberg and Justin Theroux rewrote it.
Their raunchier tone has an almost paint-by-
numbers feeling to it now, after better lms
like Superbad and Pineapple Express.
Though many of the jokes land, some of them
feel like a game of penis-related Mad Libs.
Directing is Akiva Schaffer, one third of the
Lonely Island trio (Schaffer, Andy Samberg
and Jorma Taccone make a quick cameo) and
a Saturday Night Live writer famous for the
popular digital shorts. This is his second fea-
ture after 2007s Hot Rod, and while he
clearly has the ability to pull funny out of his
cast, he doesnt here show any visual and nar-
rative distinction that separates him from the
growing pack of comedy directors.
His most interesting choice is to make the
aliens far more fearsome and detailed than a
comedy would normally accommodate.
Contortionist Doug Jones (Pans Labyrinth,
Hellboy) plays the alien, a sci- realism
that makes a few jokes funnier but ultimately
highlights the lms incongruities. (Better is
the suspected alien, a creepy Billy Crudup.)
The mission of the neighborhood watch
gang stresses their budding friendships,
pulling them apart before pushing them back
together. Or was that the plot of 21 Jump
Street? Maybe it was Get Him to the
Greek? Hold on, could it have been Paul?
The Watch, a 20th Century Fox release, is
rated R for some strong sexual content
including references, pervasive language and
violent images. Running time: 102 minutes.
Two stars out of four.

writing and journalism have allowed. That
includes getting the chance to share my
thoughts on a variety of things through this
student news column. My hope for student
news at the beginning of the year was that it
would stimulate thought on interesting topics
that came from the teenage perspective. My
hope is still that during sometime this year I
wrote something fresh, interesting and
thought-stimulating. I believe this kind of
writing is important because it keeps journal-
ism and communications as a whole thriving.
In less than a month, I will be moving to
the Midwest to attend a school where instead
of waking up to birds chirping outside my
window as the Caltrain passes by, I will be
woken up by the sounds of the rustle and
bustle of downtown Chicago. Im excited and
look forward to beginning my young adult
life living in the big city (though Im not
looking forward to the harsh winters). I look
forward to exploring a major in communica-
tions at DePaul University and putting my
uency in Spanish to good use in college as I
explore a focused study in Latino media and
communications.
As I look forward to the opportunities that
await me at DePaul next year, I would like to
express my sincere gratitude for the opportu-
nity given to me by the Daily Journal staff to
be an intern for the past couple of years.
Theres no telling what kinds of conversa-
tions were brought up during my time as an
intern but theres no doubt that every week I
went in I learned something new. I want to
thank my journalism adviser Mr. Raisner for
always encouraging me in my career as a
journalism student whether it was with writ-
ing or editing. And lastly Id like to thank my
followers who took the time to read my arti-
cles in the Daily Journal on the weekends
and who took the time to give me feedback
on my writing. I truly appreciated each and
every piece of feedback I received as I
believe it has made me into a better writer
and overall a better journalist.

STUDENT
raphers, visual artists and a DJ, the guys have
been busting out surprise dance numbers all
over Miami and shooting video to compete in a
YouTube contest to win $1 million.
Seans day job as a waiter at a luxury hotel
helps support his dance habit and pay the rent
on the house he shares with his single-mom sis-
ter (Megan Boone) and niece. When Emily
Anderson (Kathryn McCormick) turns up at the
hotel owned by her father Bill (Peter
Gallagher), a ruthless real-estate developer
for a summer of bartending while preparing to
audition for a coveted spot with a high-toned
local dance company, attraction inevitably
sparks between the two.
As it turns out, aloof Emily needs Seans help
more than she suspects. Seems that the dance
company director (Mia Michaels) thinks Emily
is a talented performer but wound a bit too tight-
ly to be truly creative. So if she wants to make
it onto the roster, Emily is going to need some
new moves, which she gures Sean can help
deliver once she discovers hes one of the moti-
vators behind The Mob. After her video debut, a
sexy number in a crowded, fancy restaurant,
draws millions of hits online, Emilys brought
on with the group as they plan their next outra-
geous mission.
However theres one major obstacle loom-
ing over the pairs romantic bliss and pro-
fessional success: Emilys dad is deter-
mined to build a new luxury develop-
ment after razing the multiracial com-
munity where Sean lives and hangs out
with other Mob members. Although
Sean agrees to keep
Emilys identity con-
cealed while she
rehearses and performs
with his crew, if word
gets out, his street cred
will be totally shot, which
could complicate that busi-
ness about winning the
YouTube video contest.
Emily has another idea,
though, encouraging Sean
and The Mob to stand up to
her dads development plans
with some proactive dance
interventions.
Much like hit-making
music producers,
Shankman and Gibgot have
orchestrated a surprisingly
winning series that takes
promising lmmakers and performers and turns
them into recognizable professionals, like
directing alum John M. Chu and former man-
candy dancer Channing Tatum. Making his
feature-lmmaking debut, music-video
and TV director Scott Speer acquits him-
self adequately, particularly since the
movie is more akin to a long-form
video project.
Playwright and rst-time
screenwriter Amanda Brody
plays it safe, leaving the
pyrotechnics to the choreog-
raphy team and sticking to
the franchises proven
dance-romance formula,
which offers few surprises
but delivers effectively. The
attempt to add a modicum of
social relevance to an essen-
tially carefree entertainment
vehicle by staging dance
protests against the resort devel-
opment is pretty much a non-
starter, particularly since theres
no indication that The Mobs
illegal assemblies are attract-
ing the least law-enforcement
attention.
Abercrombie & Fitch model
Guzman looks every bit the
metrosexual romantic lead, but also makes a
credible partner for So You Think You Can
Dance star McCormick. Fortunately, neither is
called upon to stretch too far in the acting depart-
ment and both are able to get by with good looks
and ashy moves. Supporting cast-members are
adequate if not outstanding, but its the choreog-
raphers, led by franchise vet Jamal Sims, who
really put the shine on the production.
Revolutions mix of choreography, con-
trasting modern dance and street-style perform-
ance that incorporates hip-hop, step, acrobatic
moves and Cirque du Soleil-style aerial stunts,
forms an energetic, constantly shifting mosaic.
Several major set pieces, including the opening
downtown Miami sequence centering around a
parade of low-riders, help anchor signicant
plot developments, even if they add little narra-
tive impetus.
By now, however, 3-D dance performances
are routine for the genre and with the exception
of a few notable aerial tricks, Revolution
doesnt offer many stylistic innovations,
although the soundtrack featuring performances
by Far East Movement (with an assist from
Justin Bieber), M.I.A., M83, Diplo, Timbaland
and J-Lo, is appropriately propulsive.
Step Up Revolution, a Summit
Entertainment release, is rated PG-13 for some
suggestive dancing and language. Running
time: 97 minutes.

report on gross domestic product. GDP meas-
ures the countrys total output of goods and
services, from the purchase of a cup of coffee
to the sale of ghter jets.
The main takeaway from todays report,
the specics aside, is that the U.S. economy is
barely growing, said Dan Greenhaus, chief
economic strategist at BTIG LLC. Its no
wonder the unemployment rate cannot move
lower.
Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO
Capital Markets, expects the unemployment
rate to end this year and next year at 8.3
percent. He said he foresees no decline in
unemployment because of how tepid he thinks
economic growth will remain: 2.2 percent for
all of 2012 and 2 percent for 2013.
Stocks rose as investors shrugged off the
sluggish U.S growth and focused instead on
pledges from European leaders to preserve the
union of the 17 countries that use the euro.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed up
more than 187 points. Broader indexes also
jumped.
The lackluster economy is raising pressure
on President Barack Obama in his re-election
fight with Mitt Romney, the presumptive
Republican presidential nominee. But few
think the Fed, the White House or Congress
can or will do anything soon that might reju-
venate the economy quickly. Many lawmak-
ers, for example, refuse to increase federal
spending in light of historically large budget
decits.
No president since Franklin D. Roosevelt, in
the depths of the Great Depression, has been
re-elected when the unemployment rate
exceeded 8 percent. Presidents Jimmy Carter
and George H.W. Bush were ousted when
unemployment was well below 8 percent.
Polls show that management of the econo-
my is the only issue on which those surveyed
express more condence in Romney, with his
business background, than Obama.
Glenn Hubbard, economic adviser for
Romney, said Fridays report largely matched
economists expectations.
But those expectations themselves and the
report itself were actually quite disappoint-
ing, Hubbard said. At that pattern, the econ-
omy simply will never return to full employ-
ment.
Alan Krueger, chairman of the White House
Council of Economic Advisers, noted that the
report showed the economy grew for the 12th
straight quarter. Still, Congress could
strengthen growth and job creation by adopt-
ing Obamas plan to extend expiring tax cuts
for all except the wealthiest Americans,
Krueger said.
Republicans want the tax cuts extended for
all Americans.
The 1.5 percent growth rate in the second
quarter was the weakest since GDP grew at a
1.3 percent rate in the July-September quarter
last year. And it shows the recovery is gaining
no momentum.
JOBS
an annual rate of just 1.5 percent in the sec-
ond quarter of this year, as consumers cut
back sharply on spending.
The White House budget office also pre-
dicts for this year that the economy will grow
at a modest 2.6 percent annual rate and that
the jobless rate will average 8 percent. It
forecasts modest growth of 2.6 percent next
year down from the 3.0 percent it predict-
ed in February before rising to 4.0 percent
in 2014. Unemployment would remain above
7 percent through the end of 2014, register-
ing at 7.3 percent, the report predicts.
The economic recovery that began in
2009 will continue at a moderate rate and
unemployment will gradually decline,
Jeffrey Zients, the acting White House budg-
et director said in a blog post. The economy
still faces significant headwinds, he added.
The 2012 budget year ends on Sept. 30.
The White House also predicted that next
years deficit will fall just short of $1 trillion,
higher than it predicted in its February budg-
et release. The predicted deficit for 2012
actually improved by $116 billion, but some
of that was because Congress didnt enact
much of Obamas jobs plan.
But the White House promises deficits will
drop to about 3 percent of the size of the
economy by 2017, in part through $1.5 tril-
lion in tax increases over the coming decade.
The White House report released Friday
afternoon with the Olympics poised to dis-
tract voters for two weeks again trumpets
Obamas longstanding approach to tackling
the deficit. It includes tax increases on fami-
lies earning above $250,000, already enacted
caps on agency operating budgets and
modest savings from federal benefit pro-
grams like Medicare and Medicaid.
Since taking office, the president has
worked to restore fiscal responsibility, says
the OMB report.
Republicans scoffed, noting that Obama
has violated his promise to wrestle the deficit
in half by the end of his term.
The presidents string of broken promises
on our nations fiscal challenges weighs
heavy on an anemic economy, said House
Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-
Wis. The presidents commitment to ever-
higher government spending and his failure
to deliver on his economic promises have
resulted in the fourth-straight budget deficit
in excess of one trillion dollars.
Under Obamas budget plan, the total U.S.
debt would reach $16.2 trillion by the end of
the year and soar to $25.4 trillion at the end
of a decades time.
America can have robust economic
growth and avert a catastrophic debt crisis
but it requires a credible fiscal plan and
the leadership necessary to achieve it, said
top Senate Budget Committee Republican,
Jeff Sessions of Alabama.
DEFICIT
SATURDAY, JULY 28, 2012
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Because of your strong
belief in your opinions, you can sometimes express
yourself in a demanding tone that others fnd offen-
sive. Take care to avoid doing so today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If your objectives arent
fulflled, dont start looking around for a scapegoat.
Chances are your failure will be something you
brought about yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You might learn a hard
lesson about unwisely opening your mouth when
youre forced to back up your words. Make sure you
have all the facts straight before chiming in.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Even when involved
with friends, dont take anything for granted when
it comes to business dealings. Each side is likely to
interpret the facts from their own perspective.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When it comes
to a situation that requires a team effort, unless you
really know what youre talking about, dont step out
and try to lead the parade. You could take it down the
wrong path.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be extremely careful
not to do anything that would make you look like youre
trying to take charge. If others start to feel youre
manipulating them, youll lose all your credibility.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It would be best not to
volunteer to manage the funds in an endeavor involv-
ing friends. The probability of something going wrong
is high, and you wont want to carry the blame.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Extra care and con-
sideration will be required when it comes to dealing
with people who are striving to achieve a common
objective. Dont try to make it a one-man show.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You wont gain much of
a following regarding an issue about which you feel
strongly if youre too demanding that others follow
your lead. Give them the facts and let them decide
for themselves.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The handling of money
matters isnt likely to be your strong suit today, whether
the funds are yours or belong to others. Try not to be in
control, but if you are, keep unassailable records.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The quickest way to
inhibit your abilities today is to make a negative com-
parison between yourself and others. Be grateful for
your gifts and use them without fear or worry.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Usually your logic
and judgment are two of your best assets. Today,
however, it isnt likely that youll use either. Dont put
yourself in a position where the odds are stacked
against you.

ORDINANCE NO. 1808
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BRUNO ADOPTING RATES, CHARGES, AND FEES, PERTAINING TO WASTEWATER
(SANITARY SEWER) SERVICE
The City Council of the City of San Bruno does ordain as follows:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of San Bruno finds:
A. That increases in rates and charges for wastewater quality control (sanitary sewer service) are necessary because of deteriorating infra-
structure and facilities; increasing county, state and federal regulatory controls; and other increasing costs, including labor, supplies and equipment;
B. That Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution and Government Code Section 54354.5 and San Bruno Municipal Code Chapter
10.08 empower the City of San Bruno, by and through its City Council, to prescribe, revise and collect fees, tolls, rates, rentals or other charges for the availability,
provision, and connection of wastewater services within the City of San Bruno.
C. That notice of the rates established herein was given pursuant to Article XIII D, Section 6 (Proposition 218), a public hearing was held at
which protests were tabulated and it was determined that a majority protest did not exist under Article XIII D, Section 6(a)(2), the City Council found that the rates
meet the requirements of Article XIII D, Section 6(b), and the low-income discount program is funded from late penalties and not from rates paid by other ratepay-
ers.
D. That pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15273, this ordinance is statutorily exempt from the requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that it deals with the establishment of rates and fees.
Section 2. The following rates, charges, and fees shall be applicable to use of the sewer system and disposal system of the City of San Bruno in accordance
with Chapter 10.12 (Wastewater Quality Control) of the San Bruno Municipal Code. Said rates, charges, and fees shall be effective for all wastewater bills mailed
from the City of San Bruno on or after September 1, 2012 and implemented effective July 1 of each subsequent fiscal year:

The sewer rate consists of a uniform monthly service charge plus a quantity charge based on metered water use multiplied by the applicable classifi-
cation rate per unit. All references to "unit" where applicable to measurement of water represent one hundred (100) cubic feet of water. All references to rates
are by fiscal year commencing July 1 and terminating June 30, unless specified otherwise. Each charge is comprised of a base rate charge based on all normal
functions of the wastewater program.
II. Monthly Service Charge.

The City Council of the City of San Bruno does ordain as follows:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of San Bruno finds:
A. That increases in rates and charges for water quality control (water service) are
nec-
essary because of deteriorating infrastructure and facilities; increasing county, state and federal
regulatory controls; and other increasing costs, including labor, supplies and equipment;
B. That Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution and Government Code Sec-
tion 54354.5 and San Bruno Municipal Code Chapter 10.14 (Water) empower the City of San
Bruno, by and through its City Council, to prescribe, revise and collect fees, tolls, rates, rentals
or other charges for the availability, provision and connection of water service within the City of
San Bruno;
C. That notice of the rates established herein was given pursuant to Article XIII D,
Sec-
tion 6 (Proposition 218), a public hearing was held at which protests were tabulated and it was
determined that a majority protest did not exist under Article XIII D, Section 6(a)(2), the City
Council found that the rates meet the requirements of Article XIII D, Section 6(b), and the low-in-
come discount program is funded from late penalties and not from rates paid by other ratepay-
ers.
D. That pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15273, this
ordinance is statutorily exempt from the requirements of the California Environment Quality Act
(CEQA) in that it deals with the establishment of rates and fees.
Section 2. The rate structure for water service shall consist of a monthly service charge
based on size of water meter plus a quantity charge per unit (100 cubic meters of water) for all
metered consumption of water.
