Popular vote bill clears hurdle


Legislation part of nationwide effort to eliminate influence of Electoral College
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Legislation that would make California more relevant in presidential elections was passed by the state Legislature yesterday and now awaits Gov. Jerry Browns signature. Assembly Bill 459, authored by Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San

Jerry Hill

Mateo, is part of a nationwide effort to elect the president by popular vote, rather than the current Electoral College system that can elect a president despite

the candidate losing the nationwide popular vote, such as George W. Bush did in 2000. Al Gore won the most votes nationwide in that election but was denied the presidency. Candidates in the 2008 presidential election raised more than $160 million in California but only spent $30,000 on campaign efforts in the state, said Hill.

Candidates rarely campaign in California and when they do come here, its to raise money that they will spend elsewhere on TV commercials and direct mail, Hill wrote in a prepared statement. Its time that issues that are important to California get the attention they deserve in Washington. The Electoral College puts the

power to elect a president in only a handful of states, Hill said. The success of the nationwide effort to elect the popular vote winner as president will force presidential candidates to wage a nationwide campaign and court California voters rather than concentrating exclusively on battleground states, Hill said.

San Mateo County and its cities may fast-track plans to ban plastic shopping bags following yesterdays state Supreme Court ruling that they dont rst need a full environmental impact report. This ruling is a game changer, said Daly City Councilman David Canepa. Canepa proposed a bag ban earlier this year and the issue is currently being vetted in a committee of elected ofcials and Chamber of Commerce members. Other county cities, too, have considered bag bans but have held off on pulling the trigger while awaiting the outcome of the California Supreme Court case. The decision strikes down an appel-

late court ruling over a 2008 ordinance in Manhattan Beach that was opposed by a group of bag manufacturers and retailers. The question before the court was whether a ban on single-use plastic bags requires an EIR. The court Thursday morning unanimously concluded the ordinance would have no signicant environmental effect and Manhattan Beachs initial study and negative declaration, a smaller environmental review, were sufcient. The ruling frees counties and cities from risking lawsuits by moving forward too soon or shelling out hundreds of thousands of dollars for EIRs that might not be necessary. On Monday night, for instance, the San Carlos City Council discussed a possible ban but ofcials said they wanted legal clarity rst.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO The University of California, one of the countrys largest and most respected higher education systems, raised tuition Thursday by another 9.6 per-

cent for the upcoming school year in response to a sharp reduction in government support. The $1,068 hike passed by the Board of Regents came on top of a previously approved 8 percent hike for 2011-2012. Incoming UCLA junior Alex

Foursome tried to take Ohio Taco Bell art
WESTLAKE, Ohio Workers at an Ohio Taco Bell say four people wanted more than nachos. Restaurant employees in suburban Cleveland told police that the group tried to make off with a painting valued at $157 that was hanging on a wall in the fast-food joint. The Plain Dealer newspaper reports the Taco Bell manager prevented the culprits from putting the art in their car last Friday. Police say the manager recognized the cars driver as an 18-yearold former employee at the restaurant. His three cohorts ranged in age from 17 to 21. Police were waiting for a prosecutor to decide on charges for the four. unjustied shing expedition that would risk reputational injury to a promising young college student, identified as Doe No. 26. The lawsuit alleges the students IP address was used last fall to download a film featuring porn star Sasha Grey. The motion is in response to a subpoena served June 1 on Purdue. The subpoena, led by attorney Ira M. Siegel on behalf of Third Degree Films, which makes adult entertainment lms, seeks the name, address, telephone number and email address of Doe No. 26 by Aug. 15. Third Degree Films, based in Canoga Park, Calif., led a lawsuit on Dec. 23 seeking unspecied monetary damages. It also asks the court to order all copies of the copyrighted material be destroyed. The lawsuit names IP addresses at seven other universities, including the University of Southern California, Southern Methodist University, Rochester Institute of Technology and George Washington University.

Police ofcials in the mostly Catholic country did not sound amused. They said religion was never an issue in Alms case, and that he succeeded because he fullled the only criterion required: leaving his face fully visible in the photo.

With the advent of online dating sites such as eHarmony and Match.com along with phenomena of speed dating, it seems that courtship has become more about formulas than romance. The Bay Area Flirting Convention, being held tonight in Foster City by the Society of Single Professionals, is no different. The convention is an opportunity for single professionals of all ages to gather to learn and practice irting tips, all in the hopes of nding their ideal mate. Fittingly, during the age of package deals, attendees need only to pay a $20 fee at the door for the opportunity to both brush up on their irting and put their newly learned skills to the test. The event will begin with a keynote address from Susan Bradley, the author of several how-to books on irting. Afterward, attendees will be given the option of participating in a irting contest. To win, attendees must garner the most phone numbers. The hardest thing is getting a home telephone number. I always tell the attendees, dont be easy when youre giving out your telephone number, said event organizer Rich Gosse. The two winners of the contest, one male and one female, will be crowned Mr. and Ms. Bay Area Flirt. The evening will end with a dance party. Evelina Azarian, who was crowned Ms. Bay Area Flirt at last years convention, found Bradleys presentation, which included live demonstrations, helpful and fun. Bradleys demonstrations included what to do when walking into a room full of unfamiliar people and how to move past initial awkwardness

when rst meeting someone. They were cute little tips like, say Oh what a nice color on you! to break the ice, Azarian said. Despite Azarians irting success, she isnt planning on attending this year. I would recommend it for someone in their late 30s, Azarian said. David Weber, who was crowned Mr. Bay Area Flirt in 2010, said he found last years convention entertaining though slightly cheesy. It was a kick. It was kind of schmaltzy, but hey its a irting convention, so schmaltzy is the deal, Weber said. For Gosse, the conventions are more than just a way to match people up. The conventions are part of his larger philosophy that being single in modern-day society is equivalent to being a second-class citizen. Singles are discriminated against in our society because most of the people who vote are married. They get the short end of the stick, Gosse said. The Society of Single Professionals is the largest nonprot organization dedicated to helping single people nd a signicant other. The society hosts other events geared toward singles with specic interests, such as Cougar Parties, which match up older women with younger men. Gosse, a longtime advocate for the rights of singles, is the chairman of the society and has been hosting conventions such as the one being held tonight for more than 33 years. The Bay Area Singles Convention will be held 7:30 p.m. Friday, July 15 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on 1221 Chess Drive, Foster City.

South City will provide Pacifica dispatch services


By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Pacica residents calling 911 will soon be greeted by South San Francisco dispatchers after both cities approved an agreement for such services. On Wednesday, the South San Francisco City Council unanimously approved a contract to provide dispatch services for the Pacica Police Department. Taking on the increased workload will save Pacica money while creating a bit of extra income for South San Francisco. In addition, South San Francisco will restructure the communication and records units within its police department. This is a wonderful opportunity to bring a beautiful relationship with our coastside neighbors, said Councilman Mark Addiego. The agreement will result in a payment of $600,000 from Pacica the rst year with it increasing a bit in the following two years. South San Francisco currently dispatches for the Colma Police Department from midnight to 8 a.m. daily and 24 hours during certain holidays. Adding another city will

require increasing South Citys staff by four at the communication center, according to a staff report by Police Chief Michael Massoni. Mayor Kevin Mullin was curious if South San Francisco could take on more cities given the current facilities. Massoni thought the city could manage to take on the rest of Colmas dispatch needs without requiring additional space or employees. If South City wanted to partner with more cities, a larger area would be required, Massoni said. The Pacifica City Council approved the contract in June, said City Manager Stephen Rhodes. Pacificas police department has numerous cuts this year, totaling $634,000, including the layoffs of six full-time employees. In other business, South San Francisco officials unanimously extended a moratorium on issuing business licenses to retail tobacco stores. Noting an abundance of places selling tobacco, a cry for less smoke downtown and an effort to curb access of tobacco products to children, the council approved a 45day temporary ban in June. The council will tonight consider

extending the moratorium for an additional 10 months and 15 days. The ban will affect retail tobacco stores dened as having more than 15 percent of the total oor dedicated to the sale of tobacco, tobacco smoking products or tobacco accessories/paraphernalia; or stores that devote more than a 2-foot-by-4-foot section of a shelf display for the sale of tobacco or tobacco accessories. Lastly, the council approved a one-year contract with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Local 829, ending June 30, 2012. Under the agreement, employees would receive no across-the-board wage increase. In addition, the contract will no longer have a no layoff or furlough clause nor will it have a me too clause. A side letter will also be added to allow extra shifts should South San Francisco begin providing dispatch services for Pacica, according to a staff report written by Human Resources Director Kathy Mount.

Prosecutors say police were able to identify Jason Scott Davis as a suspect when they found his iPhone in the bathtub of the womans apartment after the May 27 burglary. In describing Davis as a person who falls into the dumb crook category, San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe says Davis was arrested after he was contacted by a detective who pretended to be a person who found the phone. During the burglary, Davis allegedly took jewelry, clothes and personal items. Davis, who is from the Contra Costa County city of Brentwood, pleaded not guilty to burglary charges Wednesday. He remains in custody on $50,000 bail. Godown says he expects to start his new job later this month after a routine background check is complete.

Oakland man charged in death of high school senior


OAKLAND A 22-year-old Oakland man is facing a murder charge in the death of a teen who was set to graduate from high school a few weeks before he was fatally shot. Police announced the arrest of Michael Heartsman-Anthony on Tuesday. HeartsmanAnthony was taken into custody and arraigned last week in the death of 17-yearold Ditiyan Franklin Jr., a senior at Oaklands Castlewood Leadership Preparatory High School. He did not enter a plea, but police say he has denied being involved in the shooting. Franklin was fatally shot about ve blocks away from the school on May 25. Police tell KCBS Heartsman-Anthony and Franklin knew each other and were involved in a dispute that led to the shooting. Authorities say Heartsman-Anthony is also facing charges of being a felon in possession of a rearm and attempted murder.

Ex-interim SF police chief heading to Oakland job


OAKLAND San Franciscos former interim police chief is heading across the bay after accepting one of the top spots at the Oakland Police Department. Jeff Godown said Thursday hes accepted a job as deputy chief in charge of the departments criminal investigations division. Oakland Police Chief Anthony Batts says Godowns 25 years of law enforcement experience in San Francisco and Los Angeles will greatly benet his department. The 51-year-old Godown served as San Franciscos interim chief after George Gascon was named the district attorney in January to replace newly elected Attorney General Kamala Harris. Godown returned to the command staff when Greg Suhr was named for the permanent position in April.

SAN FRANCISCO A man accused of stealing a valuable Picasso drawing from a San Francisco gallery had about $500,000 worth of other stolen artwork in his New Jersey apartment, including another Picasso, police said Thursday. Authorities raided the Hoboken home of Mark Lugo on Wednesday after Lugo made a phone call Tuesday from the San Francisco jail to a female friend in Pennsylvania, Hoboken police Detective Sgt. Edwin Pantoja said. Armed with a search warrant, authorities said they found a Picasso drawing worth $350,000 that had been reported stolen from a New York hotel, among six other pieces around Lugos apartment. The Picasso was hanging on his wall, Pantoja said. The others were displayed all over his apartment. He had a nice little gallery going on. Lugos attorney, Douglas Horngrad, said he was aware of the latest allegations but wouldnt comment in further detail on the claims. However, he said the crimes appear to be the work of someone in the midst of a compulsive episode, rather than an art thief who is sophisticated enough to know how to a fence a Picasso. Lugo, 30, is scheduled for arraignment Friday in San Francisco. His lawyer previously said

Lugo intends to plead not guilty. He was being held on $5 million bail in connection with the July 5 theft of the 1965 Picasso drawing, Tete de Femme from the Weinstein Gallery. After the drawing was snatched, police said, the thief hopped in a taxi to a nearby high-end hotel. Lugo was later traced to the hotel and later to Napa where he was arrested while visiting friends. The Picasso worth more than $200,000 was found undamaged, unframed and prepped in Napa to be shipped to an undisclosed location. Surveillance video from a San Francisco restaurant showed a man matching Lugos description walking by with a piece of framed artwork covered by a newspaper under his arm, police said. After learning about the incident, authorities in New York determined that Lugo matched the description of a man seen in a video taken at the posh Carlyle hotel in New York, where a Picasso drawing worth $350,000 was stolen last month, Pantoja said. Once New York saw the news reports of that arrest, they contacted San Francisco police, got their video and sure enough it was the same guy, Pantoja said. Lugo, who has worked as a sommelier, also is charged with stealing $6,000 worth of wine from a New Jersey wine store in April. He missed his scheduled court date there on Thursday.

Burial or Cremation: Why does this matter?


By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Are you ever asked the question: Burial or Cremation? Im sure youve thought about this but have you ever seriously thought about this? It is tough for some of us to give this topic the time of day but for many more of us this is a topic of curiosity, and also a topic we will need to deal with at some point in our lives. Burial or Cremation is always a personal choice but did you know that in the long run there is little difference between the two, also a BIG difference but not in the way you think? In the eyes of the state both Burial and Cremation are considered a form of final disposition. Still, it is not that simple. A basic explanation would be this: Burial is a final location; Cremation is a step to a final location. What does this mean? In scenario number one: following a visitation & funeral service the deceased is taken to a specific cemetery to be placed in either a ground burial location or a mausoleum space BUT in a second scenario: following that same visitation & funeral service the deceased would be taken to a crematory to complete the cremation process. When the cremated remains are ready a choice would be needed by the next of kin on whether the cremated remains are to be buried in a cemetery, scattered at sea, taken home, etc. So, when Cremation is selected, Burial can still be the final disposition following the cremation, among other choices. People dont deal with this topic every day, and I know that it is imagined by some that Cremation means the deceased is taken away and will just disappear. That is never the case, and there is always the necessity to properly give the deceased a final resting place. The state legally requires it, and the funeral home is mandated to complete & file necessary paperwork reflecting it prior to any final disposition. I know all this may seem complicated, but it is our job as Funeral Directors to make it all very simple and guide you every step of the way. It is our duty to support families as they maneuver through a sometimes daunting situation and unfamiliar territory, and to provide various options on what is available. Many prefer to make pre-need arrangements years in advance so choices can be made in a more relaxed atmosphere. Pause and imagine yourself as the next of kin following the death of a loved one and being asked the question Burial or Cremation?. Can you knowledgeably answer that? It may be a good idea to at least give the question some thought now. Ive served a few families in the past who couldnt answer that question and ended up making a quick decision they later regretted. It wont hurt to let this topic cross your mind, or even to discuss this question with your family, loved ones, clergy or those who give you support. Look back at your family traditions and use that as a guide. Its important for those who care to have a way to say farewell, and for many to have a place to go following the funeral as a way to visit and begin the healing process. If you ever wish to discuss cremation, funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650) 588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you in a fair and helpful manner.

Gay history to be taught in state schools


By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a bill making California the rst state in the nation to add lessons about gays and lesbians to social studies classes in public schools. Brown, a Democrat, signed the landmark bill requiring public schools to include the contributions of people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender in social studies curriculum. The Democratic-majority Legislature had passed the bill last week on a largely party-line vote. History should be honest, the governor said in a statement Thursday. This bill revises existing laws that prohibit discrimination in education and ensures that the important contributions of Americans from all backgrounds and walks of life are included in our history books. Brown signed the bill Wednesday, but

announced on Thursday that he had done so. The bill has drawn criticism from some churches and conservative groups that argue such instruction would expose students to a subject that some parents nd objectionable. Republican lawmakers Jerry Brown who opposed the bill had called it a well-intentioned but ill-conceived bill. Some raised concerns that it would indoctrinate children to accept homosexuality. State Sen. Mark Leno, a Democrat from San Francisco and the bills author, hailed the bill signing as a step toward teaching tolerance. Supporters say the bill will teach students to be more accepting of gays and lesbians in light of the bullying that happens to gay students. Today we are making history in California by ensuring that our textbooks and instructional materials no longer exclude the contri-

butions of LGBT Americans, Leno said in a statement. California law already requires schools to teach about women, African Americans, Mexican Americans, entrepreneurs, Asian Americans, European Americans, American Indians and labor. The Legislature over the years also has prescribed specic lessons about the Irish potato famine and the Holocaust, among other topics. The new law, SB48, requires the California Board of Education and local school districts to adopt textbooks and other teaching materials that cover the contributions and roles of sexual minorities, as soon as the 2013-2014 school year. The legislation leaves it to local school boards to decide how to implement the requirement. It does not specify a grade level for the instruction to begin. Randy Thomasson, president of SaveCalifornia.com, a conservative family group, said under the new law parents will have no choice but to take their children out of

public school and homeschool them to avoid what he said was immoral indoctrination. The new law applies only to public schools, not private schools or families who homeschool. Jerry Brown has trampled the parental rights of the overwhelming majority of California fathers and mothers who dont want their children to be sexually brainwashed at school, Thomasson said. This new law will prohibit textbooks and teachers from telling children the facts that homosexuality is neither healthy nor biological. The bill was supported by gay rights organizations including Equality California and the Gay-Straight Alliance Network. Teacher groups also said the bill would help students prepare for a diverse and evolving society. There is no room for discrimination of any kind in our classrooms, our communities or our state, said Dean Vogel, president of the California Teachers Association.

LOS ANGELES Home sales in California got a minor boost in June, but activity was still slower than it was a year earlier, a tracking rm reported Thursday. A total of 38,975 homes were sold in the state last month, up 9.7 percent from 35,536 in May, San Diego-based DataQuick said. June likely beneted from a combination of factors, such as price reductions, low mortgage rates and perhaps a batch of short sale transactions from spring that took months to close, DataQuick president John Walsh said. But Walsh cautioned that last month was not a particularly strong June, historically speaking, and one months increase in sales from the prior month doesnt constitute a trend. Indeed, last months sales were 11.3 percent lower than the 43,964 posted in June 2010. DataQuick also said the median price for a home in the region was down 6.3 percent to $253,000 from $270,000 in June 2010, a ninth consecutive year-over-year decline after what had been 11 months of increases, although the median was up 1.6 percent from $249,000 in May.

More than half of the existing homes sold came from distressed property sales, maintaining the downward pressure on prices. Foreclosures accounted for 35 percent of last months sales, down slightly from 35.3 percent in May but up from 34.1 percent a year earlier. Short-sale transactions, in which lenders allow distressed homes to be sold for less than what is

owed, accounted for 17.6 percent of existing home sales. That was identical to Mays portion but down from 20 percent a year earlier. In a nine-county region of Northern California dropped 7.9 percent to $377,750 last month from $410,000 in June 2010. In the six-county region of Southern California, the median price declined 5 percent to $285,000, down from $300,000 in

the year-ago period. The median home price in Northern California, sales dipped 4.5 percent to 7,998 in June from a year earlier. In Southern California, sales dropped 14 percent to 20,532 from May 2010. But sales were up from May in both regions, increasing 14.5 percent in Northern California and 11.6 percent in Southern California. G.U. Krueger, principal economist at research and consulting rm HousingEcon.com Inc., said buyers might be emboldened by the states gradually improving employment situation, with joblessness rates declining for a fth consecutive month in their most recent tally in May to reach 11.7 percent. Maybe they feel a little less hopeless, he said. Even though we havent had great news lately, the general economic situation has gotten a little better. Bill Aboumrad, who owns a real estate agency in the San Francisco Bay Area city of Fremont, said an uptick in hiring by the technology rms in his region was clearly instilling condence in many of his clients. Theres jobs, he said. Thats whats really helping us.

Florence Ewart (Sherry) Adams 1940-2011 - passed away


peacefully at home on Tuesday, July 12, 2011 after a six month battle with cancer. She is survived by her loving husband Howard J. Adams. Sherry was the daughter of Harold and Florence Heakin, the half sister of William Clyde and his wife Ede, and aunt to their two sons, Chris and Kent. Sherry was a graduate of the Hamlin School in San Francisco, the College of Pacic in Stockton and the USF graduate school, where she earned her teaching credential. Sherry spent her entire twenty eight year teaching career at James Lick Junior High School (Middle School) in San Francisco until her early retirement. Her dedication to James Lick and their students and the community was amazing. Besides teaching English and Social Studies, Sherry also taught forensic and guided the debate team, was the writer, producer and director of many of the yearly term plays, the spring musical, and was the editor of the school year book. She also was the sponsor of the Ski Club. Sherry was appointed to the position of Community School Liaison and was acknowledged by the City of San Francisco as a Mentor Teacher. At the end of year luncheon for the faculty, on her last day of her teaching career, she was awarded the Golden Apple Award for the outstanding teacher of the year. Sherry had a penchant for giving, and this was the pinnacle of her teaching career. Sherrys life was focused on giving, and she applied that quality throughout her life as she also became a realtor with Rupert Taylor Real Estate in Burlingame. There will not be a service for Sherry, but it is hoped that on a night in the near future you might go outside and pick the moon, or a star, or a cloud, or if you are in San Francisco, a patch of fog, and greet her. She will be there waiting. You will have your own personal session together. She is still listening and giving. And if you feel a cool breeze on your cheek, that may be Sherry reaching out to you. Maybe it is the blinking of that star you are looking at. Maybe it is the moon as she smiles down on you. Sherrys greatest joy was returning to Maui and Honokeana Cove Condominiums. It became almost an annual journey. While there one time, Sherry and Howard heard about the Boo Boo Zoo. It is otherwise known as the East Maui Animal Refuge. The owner and his wife care for an assortment of domestic and wildlife animals that are injured. They depend strictly on donations. Sherry will be delighted that you would consider a donation to such a worthwhile cause. The next time you are on Maui, travel to the Boo Boo Zoo. Check them out on WWW.booboozoo.org. It is quite a website and you will be impressed by their efforts there. For the last six months, Sherry was under the care of her friend and healthcare provider Pushpa Lacthman, and Sherrys husband Howard. Sutter Care At Home was their constant mentor and friend. Aloha, Sherry.

STATE/NATION
requires that all students entering grades 7 through 12 prove they have received a booster shot against pertussis, commonly called whooping cough. School ofcials in districts that have held classes since the law took effect have been swamped with students who either hadnt received the booster or couldnt prove that they had. Districts feared an even bigger logistical nightmare when most schools resume classes in August and September. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson praised the vote to allow extra time for districts, and urged Gov. Jerry Brown to sign the bill. We dont want to see students lose precious learning time or be turned away from classes at the start of school, Torlakson said in a prepared statement. Parents should make sure their children get the booster, he said, both to protect their health and to prevent the spread of this dangerous disease. The law was passed after an epidemic of more than 9,000 cases hit California last year, killing 10 infants. Bill author Sen. Christine Kehoe, D-San Diego, said Thursday that infants may catch the disease from school-age siblings whose immunity

State schools get a break on whooping cough shots


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO California lawmakers voted Thursday to give schools a reprieve from a new law requiring 3 million students to prove they received a booster shot against whooping cough before they can enroll in classes. Both houses of the Legislature approved SB614. The emergency bill allows schools and districts to conditionally admit students who dont meet the new requirements, for up to 30 calendar days. The vaccination law took effect July 1 and

has faded since the series of pertussis shots required in early childhood. There have been at least 1,918 California pertussis cases so far in 2011, and infection tends to accelerate in the summer months. Public school districts estimate that 40 percent to 50 percent of the students covered by the law cant produce records to prove theyve been vaccinated, with the number split about evenly between those who still need shots and those who dont have the required paperwork, said Adonai Mack, a spokesman for the Association of California School Administrators.

Around the Nation Man held in boys slaying says he hears voices
NEW YORK A man accused of kidnapping, killing and dismembering an 8-year-old boy who asked him for directions was ordered Thursday to undergo a psychological evaluation after his lawyer told a judge that his client might be mentally ill. He has indicated to me that he hears voices and has had some hallucinations, said the attorney, Pierre Bazile. Levi Aron, 35, pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and kidnapping as prosecutors said he lured Leiby Kletzky to his home Monday after the little boy got lost while walking home from an Orthodox Jewish day camp. Video cameras captured the fateful encounter between the two on a

Brooklyn street, while Leibys mother waited anxiously just a few blocks away. Detectives later found the boys severed feet, wrapped in plastic, in the mans freezer, as well as a cutting board and three bloody carving knives.

Pentagon discloses largest-ever cyber theft


WASHINGTON The Pentagon on Thursday revealed that in the spring it suffered one of its largest losses ever of sensitive data in a cyberattack by a foreign government. Its a dramatic example of why the military is pursuing a new strategy emphasizing deeper defenses of its computer networks, collaboration with private industry and new steps to stop malicious insiders. William Lynn, the deputy secretary of defense, said in a speech outlining the strategy that 24,000 les containing Pentagon data were

stolen from a defense industry computer network in a single intrusion in March. He offered no details about what was taken but in an interview before the speech he said the Pentagon believes the attacker was a foreign government. He didnt say which nation. We have a pretty good idea who did it, Lynn said the interview. He would not elaborate. Many cyberattacks in the past have been blamed on China or Russia. One of the Pentagons fears is that eventually a terrorist group, with less at stake than a foreign government, will acquire the ability to not only penetrate U.S. computer networks to steal data but to attack them in ways that damage U.S. defenses or even cause deaths.

Giuliani expects GOP eld to grow


HAMPTON, N.H. Rudy Giuliani isnt convinced that any of

the declared Republican presidential contenders can defeat President Barack Obama. Until he is, Giuliani says he wont rule out a run of his own. These are a lot of qualied people, the former New York City mayor told The Associated Press on the eve of his fourth visit to New Hampshire this year. Do they have a good chance of winning? I dont know the answer to that. Giuliani, who acknowledges that his failed 2008 campaign was deeply flawed, had five public appearances scheduled during a two-day visit starting Thursday to the rst-in-the-nation primary state. The stops included a luncheon with the Seacoast Federation of Republican Women in Portsmouth, a more intimate gathering at a private New Castle home with law enforcement ofcials and a gunrights discussion at Manchester Harley Davidson.

Feds want dont ask, dont tell halt stayed


SAN FRANCISCO The federal government is asking the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider its order last week demanding an immediate halt to the enforcement of the ban on openly gay troops in the military. The Obama administration led an emergency motion late Thursday in response to the appeals courts decision last week to lift its stay of a lower courts ruling last year that found the ban, known as dont ask, dont tell, unconstitutional. Department of Justice lawyers said in the motion that ending the ban now would pre-empt the orderly process for rolling back the 17-yearold policy as outlined in the law passed and signed by the president in December. The Justice Department asked the 9th Circuit to issue a decision by the end of the day Friday.

A little bit of movement in debt talks


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON With time growing short and warnings more dire, the rst, fragile signs emerged Thursday of a possible compromise to raise the nations debt limit and avert a potentially catastrophic default on Aug. 2. Under a plan discussed by the Senates top two leaders, President Barack Obama would receive enhanced authority to raise the debt ceiling at the same time procedures would be set in motion that could lead to federal spending cuts. Word that Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky were at work on the fallback plan came as Obama and congressional leaders held a fth straight day of debt-crisis talks at the White House. McConnell pronounced the session a good one. Were going to continue to discuss a way forward over the next

couple of days and see what happens, he said. Obama was having his say on Friday, scheduling his second White House news conference Harry Reid of the week. House Republicans and Democrats scheduled closed-door meetings of the rank and le to review the spending cuts and tax increases proposed by one side or the other so far. After weeks of political turmoil, it appeared attempts to avoid a default were proceeding along two tracks the White House negotiations that appeared near an end, and the fallback that ofcials said privately presented the stronger opportunity to avert a crisis. One Republican, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that in the

White House talks so far, negotiators had agreed on about $1.5 trillion in decit cuts, far less than the $2.4 trillion or so needed to meet Obamas demand that the Mitch debt limit go up McConnell enough to tide the Treasury over through the 2012 elections. A summary that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., prepared for the talks earlier in the week showed the bulk of cuts coming from day-to-day operating budgets of federal programs. Also included were as much as $245 billion from Medicare, including higher premiums for wealthier beneciaries, and additional savings from skilled nursing homes and home health care. The summary indicated

that federal workers would pay more for their pensions, agriculture subsidies would be cut and food stamp spending would be restrained. Two ofcials Barack Obama said Cantor did not speak during the days session, after irritating Obama on Wednesday by repeatedly proposing a short-term debt limit increase the president has vowed to veto. Attempts by Democrats to include higher taxes were rejected by Republicans, as expected. One Democratic ofcial said GOP negotiators declined to consider closing corporate tax loopholes in order to pay for a one-year extension of the payroll tax cut approved last winter. The days events were shadowed by warnings from Federal Reserve

Chairman Ben Bernanke and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jaime Dimon. Speaking separately, the two men admonished bickering lawmakers that failure to avoid an unprecedented default could have a devastating effect on an already anemic U.S. economy. Adding to the urgency, Moodys Investor Service has announced it is reviewing Americas bond rating for a possible downgrade. In a separate announcement, the credit rating agency Standard & Poors warned that there is a 50 percent chance it will downgrade the governments credit rating within three months because of the impasse. There was growing concern overseas, too. A Chinese rating agency, Dagong Global Credit Rating Co., also advised of a possible downgrade, and Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said: We hope that the U.S. government adopts a responsible policy to ensure the interests of the investors.

Wall Street doesnt seem worried about default


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The CEO of a big bank says a U.S. default could be catastrophic for the economy. The head of the Federal Reserve warns of chaos. And a credit rating agency threatens to take away the countrys coveted triple-A status. The response on Wall Street: So what? In Washington, the fight over whether to raise the federal debt limit has grown uglier by the day. The White House says the limit must be raised by Aug. 2 or the government wont be able to pay its bills, possibly including U.S. bonds held around the world. But as the deadline nears, stocks and bonds have barely flinched. The Dow Jones industrial average fell just 54 points Thursday

and stands about where it did at the start of the month. The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond, which usually rises when investors see it as a riskier bet, is considerably lower than earlier this year. It may seem an odd, even reckless, reaction by investors. But it isnt completely crazy. Take the ho-hum reaction from the bond market. In theory, investors in U.S. Treasury bonds should demand higher interest payments when theres a greater risk they wont get their money back in this case, in the event of a default next month. Instead, the yield on the 10year Treasury note rose only slightly Thursday, to 2.95 percent. In February, when the U.S. economic recovery seemed stronger and the debt limit was a

distant threat, it was 3.74 percent. But in this market, as in the schoolyard, size wins. The U.S. has $14 trillion in outstanding Treasury bonds. That dwarfs government bonds of any other nation. U.S. debt is held more widely and traded more often than any other governments IOU. That matters because pensions, private investment funds and central banks the world over want to know that they can buy and sell these holdings fast what investors call liquidity. During the credit crisis of 2008, investors bought U.S. Treasurys because they were perceived as not only safe but liquid. Its very nice that Switzerland is a safe place, says Avi Tiomkin, a hedge fund consultant who holds

Treasurys. But if youre the Russian or Chinese central bank, its just too small. Steve Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities, points to another reason the markets are calm: The U.S. may seem a more dangerous place to park your money given its rising debt, but much of the rest of the world isnt faring well, either. He notes that Europe is trying to contain a debt crisis. Yields on bonds of various countries there have gone up recently. The U.S. is the best in a bad world, he says, so people have no choice but to invest here. As for stocks, theres plenty of news some very good to distract investors from Washingtons problems. U.S. companies are issuing their financial results for the

latest quarter, and theyre expected to post big profits up 15 percent, according to a survey by data provider FactSet. JPMorgan Chase reported profits up 13 percent Thursday, higher than analysts had expected. The stock rose sharply on the news. Earlier in the day, it was that banks CEO, James Dimon, who warned that a failure by Congress to agree to raise the debt ceiling could mean catastrophe. On Wednesday, Moodys Investors Services warned it might take away the United States topnotch credit rating if it missed even one interest payment on its bonds. In testimony before Congress on Thursday, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said a U.S. default could throw the financial system into chaos.

Federal debt talks


Los Angeles Times

ollowing the dubious lead of their counterparts in Sacramento, congressional Republicans appear poised to reject a broad victory for the cause of scal responsibility and limited government in favor of a narrow triumph over higher taxes. At the GOPs insistence, reducing the decit has become a precondition for increasing the debt ceiling, something that Congress must do soon to avoid degrading the governments credit rating and potentially triggering another global recession. But Republican lawmakers have dug themselves in so deeply against any form of tax increase

Other voices
that President Barack Obama seems to be standing tall by comparison. Thats funny, given Obamas lack of enthusiasm in the past for closing the budget gap. He all but ignored the recommendations of his own decit reduction commission, and his budget proposal in February punted on the long-term problems posed by Medicare and other entitlements. Now, however, Obama is calling for a balanced approach that would reduce projected decits by $4 trillion over the coming decade. That amount may not be enough to keep the national debt from growing faster than

the economy, budget analysts say, but it would signicantly brighten the federal governments nancial picture. After initially endorsing the idea of an ambitious decit deal, House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, retreated, calling for only about $2 trillion in savings. He and other Republican leaders argue that the GOP-controlled House wont support any increase in revenue, no matter what the source. By confusing rigidity with principle, Republicans are letting Obama portray them accurately as extremists defending egregious tax loopholes. Republicans would do well to remember that this is a no-pain, no-gain situation for lawmakers from both parties.

Letters to the editor


A response to a most irresponsible column
Editor, The guest perspective by Alice Weiss entitled A responsible way to solve debt issue in the July 14 edition of the Daily Journal is one of the coldest, down-rightcruel columns I have read of late. Or perhaps Ms. Weiss is just grossly misinformed. First, sadly, she should know that any of us who work in the nonprot, human or social services sector could produce hundreds of local parents who cannot, through no fault of their own, afford to send their kids to school with a lunch. Does Ms. Weiss realize that nearly 25 percent of all children in the United States are living today below the poverty level and that many parents have lost their jobs and their homes and are seeking employment without success? As for taxes, did Ms. Weiss catch the article from the Internal Revenue Service reporting that the top 400 individuals in the United States have a net worth equal to the lowest 150,000,000 people? Did she note that, though the top tax rate is currently 35 percent, those wealthiest 400 people, thanks to all the loopholes in the tax code, paid only 17 percent? Does she know that the top tax rate has been dropping for decades and that it was 90 percent when that conservative Republican President Eisenhower was in ofce? Ms. Weiss, tax rates today are the lowest they have been in President Obamas lifetime. We have a few who are lthy rich and many who are dirt poor, and the gap is ever widening. I believe the president is right on when he suggests we need cuts in expenditures and increases in revenue a much needed compromise. I fear that greed is rampant at this time and that there are too many people who were born on third base but think they hit a triple. something, the sale will be denied and I will be embarrassed like crazy and have to put my purchase back on the shelf. I have to take some time to pay down my debt and then make that purchase later in the year. Better yet, save up and pay with cash. You make $1,000 a month, you can only spend $1,000 a month, plain and simple. Congress, Senate and even the president get paid by us. They work for us to manage our tax money. They are not doing their jobs.

Speier should share the blame


Editor, I was surprised to see U.S. Rep. Jackie Speiers partisan musings on the front page of the July 14 edition of the Daily Journal. She is right to be irked by the debate on the debt ceiling and is also correct that the debate is more about politics than about the nations nancial health. However, putting it all at the feet of the Republicans is disingenuous at best. President Obama has been in full campaign mode since early April, and every position he takes is made with an eye on November of 2012. There is enough blame in Washington to go around and Speier has shown that she deserves at least some of it.

Scaring old people


Editor, Is telling old people that they will not get their Social Security checks honest? The debt crisis has been looming on the horizon for years. Congress and the president are well aware of the fact. There has not been a budget proposed for years. Now all of a sudden we have an emergency requiring immediate attention. Where have we heard that before? The Democrats have controlled both houses of Congress as well as the presidency and have yet to produce a budget. Now it is the Republicans fault that we are in this position? This may work for the Washington insiders and beltway pundits. The people in yover country do not seem to be convinced. Crying wolf may not work anymore.

What debt ceiling?


Editor, Can somebody tell me why we have a debt ceiling when we keep raising it? What is the point of going through all this trouble trying to raise it when we already made it a law to adhere to it? If my credit card has a limit, which it does, and I have reached it and I want to use it to buy

have a confession to make. I love Curry Up Now. It wasnt always the case. Last year, I thought I would check out the food truck parked on Howard Avenue in Burlingame to see what all the buzz was about. I had spotted it on several occasions, and there was some amount of controversy about it parking on the street and serving food and so close to another Indian restaurant. So I braved the line on a cold early spring day and grabbed a vindaloo burrito that came after a 10minute wait. I was not impressed. And I wrote a column stating as much along with a diatribe on how just because something is trendy, doesnt make it good. Apparently, however, I was in the minority. Now Curry Up Now has anchored itself to a brick and mortar location on B Street in downtown San Mateo. It still has its truck, but its permanent location is open and airy and, I believe, has the momentum and good eats to remove the negative mojo of not only my previous experience but that of the location. The spot was once the Full Moon Saloon and became Quiznos when plans to create a 1970s night club fell through. It then became Gators, then Dalis, which became Dalias for some reason, and then became vacant. Until April. So I thought Id give it another chance. Now Im hooked. Its a few blocks away from my house, which allows for quick breaks from preparing the babys room, and fills a need for quick and delicious food that is a bit cutting edge. Every time I go it seems other 30-somethings, some with small children, have the same idea. So, to the Curry Up Now people, I give you a clarification: You have delicious food. *** I dont know how long the food truck trend will last, after all, the fact that the Food Network is entering its second season of the The Great Food Truck Race is a sure sign of saturation. But the phenomena is definitely a recession story. People like trying new things, they like to be considered trendy and right now, they want to do it on the cheap. The offal movement and the back to basics when it comes to restaurant food is a reflection of that. Why not try something completely different on the cheap? A former city dweller who finds themselves on the Peninsula can have a night out at a gourmet food truck either on their own or as part of Off the Grid or Moveable Feast and feel cool on the cheap. A small and tasty bite can be had for under $20 instead of the normal night out at a sit-down place that can run much higher. And at the organized events, you can meet up with like-minded others so it becomes a fun night out. For the truck owners, it is also a matter of economics. Many of the new gourmet truck owners enter the business because they have some good ideas but not the ability to raise the capital to open a traditional restaurant. By starting a truck, they can build a brand and a following that may translate into a traditional restaurant. Such is the case with Curry Up Now. *** Some restaurant owners may complain about the unfair advantage the trucks have when they come into their turf. Do they pay the same taxes? Do they have the same health department oversight? There is stringent oversight, there has to be, and many cities are working on ways to make sure permitting is up to date. But the trucks are a capitalistic venture and they create competition. Which, in a market economy, is never bad for the consumer. *** The impact of organized events like Off the Grid is yet to be seen as the soft opening in downtown San Mateo just took place this week. But it will serve to draw new people downtown. Most people who never have been to downtown San Mateo are usually charmed by it. I had a friend from Albany meet me once who said he had no idea how diverse and unique our little patch of Peninsula was. Its hard to tell from the highway. *** For years, there has been talk that downtown San Mateo has too many restaurants. But why not embrace the concept? There is a little bit of everything for all people. Having events that showcase that diversity and charm can never be bad and there may be a time when other trucks follow the lead of Curry Up Now and establish themselves as a viable business downtown. You dont know unless you try it. And even give it a second chance.

NEW YORK Remarks by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke that dimmed hopes for a third round of bondbuying pushed stocks lower Thursday. In a second day of testimony, Bernanke told lawmakers the Fed expects the economy to improve. He said the central bank would only step in with more economic stimulus if there is a signicant downturn in the economy. Were not prepared at this point to take further action, Bernanke said. Stocks turned immediately lower after the remarks and fell for much of the day. Bernanke was clarifying statements he made Wednesday that left the door open to new economic stimulus measures. Investors took his earlier remarks to mean that the Fed chairman had all but guaranteed new action to stimulate the economy, said Jeff Cleveland, senior economist at money manager Payden & Rygel.

Economy growing at weak pace


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A mixed slate of reports Thursday showed the economy is being held back by high gas prices and sluggish hiring. Economists are forecasting a pick-up in growth in the second half of the year. But the latest data revealed only faint signs of a turnaround. The Commerce Department said retail sales ticked up only 0.1 percent last month, after declining the previous month. Consumers spent more on cars and in big chain stores in June, but less

on furniture and appliances. The number of people who applied for unemployment benefits dropped last week by 22,000 to a seasonally adjusted 405,000, the lowest level in three months. Still, applications have been above 400,000 for 14 straight weeks, reecting the weak job market. U.S. companies paid less for raw materials and factory goods in June, a separate report showed. The decline in wholesale prices was driven by the steepest fall in energy prices in nearly two years. Gas prices dropped by the most since last May, the Labor

Department said. Still, businesses and motorists are paying nearly a dollar more per gallon than they were a year ago. That has forced many consumers to forgo discretionary purchases. Growth in retail sales has slowed since February around the same time that gas prices began to surge. Consumers are fatigued, said Chris Christopher, an economist at IHS Global Insight. The only real good news on the consumer side of the economy is that gasoline prices started to fall, but are still relatively high.

Google stock up 12 percent


By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Google Inc. CEO Larry Pages traditionally standofsh relationship with Wall Street turned into a warm embrace Thursday after the Internet search leader released strong nancial results for its latest quarter. The results represented Pages rst report card since he became CEO at the start of the second quarter to end the decade-long reign of his mentor, Eric Schmidt. The performance was far better than analysts anticipated, erasing any doubt that Google can still thrive under Pages leadership. Investors signaled their approval by boosting Googles stock by more than 12 percent. That restored the stock price to where it stood before Page became CEO on April 4. Page, one of Googles co-founders, made analysts even happier by sticking around for the companys hour-long conference call with analysts. That was a contrast to a cursory appearance he made at Googles rst-quarter call three months ago, which had fed perceptions that Page considered investor relations to be a waste of his time. In his remarks, Page stressed that he intends to be a careful steward of shareholders money, while reiterating his intention to invest heavily in hiring more employees and expanding into other markets in pursuit of even bigger prots in the future. I see more opportunities for Google today than ever before because, believe it or not, we are still in the very early stages of what we want to do, Page, 38, said during the call. Google earned $2.5 billion, or $7.68 per share, in the April-June period. Thats a 36 percent increase from $1.84 billion, or $5.71 per share, a year ago. If not for costs covering employee stock, Google says it would have earned $8.74 per share. That gured easily topped the average estimate of $7.84 per share among analysts surveyed by FactSet.

Second half of season begins, Giants win


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO Aubrey Huff hit a tying homer off All-Star closer Heath Bell leading off the ninth inning and Mike Fontenot brought in the go-ahead run with a basesloaded walk with two outs in the 12th, helping the NL West-leading San Francisco Giants beat the lastplace San Diego Padres 6-2 on Thursday night. The bullpen collapse extended the Padres losing streak to six games, tying their season high. Bell was trying to preserve a 1-0 win for Aaron Harang, who threw

seven strong innings in his second start back from a stint on the disabled list. But Huff muscled an 0-2 pitch several rows into the stands down the right-eld line for his ninth homer. Bell had gone 99 games and 102 innings the longest stretch in franchise history since giving up his last homer, to San Franciscos Juan Uribe on April 19, 2010. It was Bells second blown save in 62 chances dating to last year and second in 28 opportunities this year. Giants All-Star closer Brian Wilson came on with the bases

loaded and one out in the bottom of the 12th for his 27th save in 31 chances. He allowed Will Venables sacrice y, walked Chris Denora to load the bases before getting Jason Bartlett to ground out. Cody Ross started the winning rally in the ve-run 12th with a leadoff walk against Luke Gregerson (2-3) and was replaced by Emmanuel Burriss, who stole second. Gregerson then walked Brandon Crawford and committed an error trying to field Eli Whitesides bunt, loading the bases. Miguel Tejada fouled out and

Andres Torres struck out before Fontenot walked on four straight pitches. The Giants piled on with Pablo Sandovals two-run single and RBI base hits by Nate Schierholtz and Huff. All ve runs that inning were unearned. Santiago Casillas (2-1) threw two perfect innings for the win. The Padres, the lowest-scoring team in the NL, dropped 13 games behind the defending World Series champions and 13 games under .500. The Padres had scored only two

runs in their last 44 innings before the All-Star break. Their losing streak includes consecutive shutouts at Los Angeles, including a game in which the Dodgers didnt get their rst hit until there were two outs in the ninth inning. Harang held the Giants to ve hits while striking out four and walking one. In his previous start, Harang handed a no-hit bid to the bullpen after six innings before the Dodgers won 1-0 after getting two hits with two outs in the ninth. Whiteside tied his career high with three hits.

WASHINGTON One minute Roger Clemens was on trial for his freedom. Then, on just the second day of testimony, it was suddenly all over and the former baseball star was outside signing autographs for fans. Almost as soon as it began, Clemens perjury trial ended Thursday in a mistrial the judge blamed on prosecutors and said a rst-year law student would have known to avoid. U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton left the question of a new trial up in the air. But he called a halt to the trial under way after prosecutors showed jurors evidence that he had ruled out videotaped revelations that a teammate had said hed told his wife Clemens confessed to using a drug. Walton scolded prosecutors and said he couldnt let the former AllStar pitcher face prison if convicted on such extremely prejudicial evidence. Mr. Clemens has to get a fair trial, Walton said. In my view, he cant get it now. Defense attorney Rusty Hardin, who had asked for the mistrial declaration, patted an unsmiling Clemens on the back as the judge announced his decision. As he left

SANDWICH, England Thomas Bjorn and Tom Lewis have nothing in common except for the unlikely position they shared Thursday atop the leaderboard at the British Open. Its not just that one is twice as old. Or that Bjorn is a 40-year-old pro who wonders how much longer he can compete at the highest level, while Lewis is an amateur making

his major championship debut, his best golf still to come. The biggest difference are their memories of Royal St. Georges. Bjorn took a small step toward atonement with a birdie on the par-3 16th the hole that cost him the claret jug in 2003 when he took three shots to escape a pot bunker on his way to a 5-under 65 in the toughest conditions of the opening round. He made a birdie on Thursday, and couldnt help but smile when he saw it bounce away from trouble

and toward the ag. When I hit the shot, I thought, This is going to struggle. So when it just made it over that bunker, that was just a smile of knowing that things were going my way today, Bjorn said. Lewis ran off four straight birdies late in his round, an amazing stretch that began on the par-5 14th. Thats the hole where Lewis wrapped up the British Boys Amateur Championship two years ago, the highlight of a sterling amateur record. A par on the nal hole gave

him a 65, the lowest ever by an amateur in the British Open, making him the rst amateur to lead this championship in 43 years. It was a special moment for me, winning here, and to come back to where youve won is extra special, Lewis said. I was just thrilled to be here, but to shoot 65 the rst round was something I wouldnt have thought. I was just happy to get the drive off the tee at the rst, and that was all that mattered. Adding to the nerves was playing

NBA lays off more than 100 employees


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The NBA laid off about 114 people over the last two days, planned cost-cutting moves that a league spokesman said Thursday are not a direct result of the lockout. The laid off employees represent about 11 percent of the league ofce workforce in New York, New Jersey and internationally. Spokesman Mike Bass told The

Associated Press the layoffs are not a direct result of the lockout but rather a response to the same underlying issue; that is, the leagues expenses far outpace our revenues. The roughly 11 percent reduction in headcount from the league ofce is part of larger cost-cutting measures to reduce our costs by $50 million across all areas of our business, Bass said. The league said it lost $300 mil-

lion this season after losing hundreds of millions in each previous year of the collective bargaining agreement that expired at the end of the day June 30. Owners locked out the players after the sides remained far apart in their nal proposals. Commissioner David Stern said at the time it was too early to think about how it could affect staff, but acknowledged that the league would have to go back and look at everything now with our

operations. But the reductions had already begun. The NBA and teams had trimmed staff by about 275 since October 2008, either through layoffs or by leaving positions vacant when employees departed. The league has also cut administrative costs, travel and new technology. It consolidated offices in Europe and Asia, closing ofces in Paris and Tokyo, and is shutting down the studio in Secaucus, N.J.

where it annually holds the draft lottery. The NBA Store on 5th Ave. in New York has been closed, though the league has said it will reopen in another location. Already at least two teams, Detroit and Charlotte, have cut staff since the work stoppage was announced exactly two weeks ago. Stern said that day a lockout has a very large impact on a lot of people, many of whom or most of whom are not associated with either side.

As offense looking for some life


By Josh Dubow THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND Injuries to the pitching staff, an offense that struggles to generate any runs and a team that always seems to end up on the short side of close games. The problems that marred the end of manager Bob Gerens tenure in Oakland and ultimately contributed to his ring are just as evident under replacement Bob Melvin. The Athletics come out of the All-Star break with the third-worst record in the American League at 39-53 and are 12 games behind Texas in the AL West after being swept by the Rangers in a fourgame series. Luckily we have four days to relax and put our mind off baseball and come and pretend like its a different half, starter Trevor Cahill said. Itll be good for us. Some guys are banged up, some Trevor Cahill guys need a mental break. I dont think anybody thinks were out of it, If we keep battling, anythings possible. The Athletics were off Thursday, but the news didnt get any better. Lefthanded pitcher Brett Anderson had reconstructive surgery on his elbow and will miss the rest of the season. The As originally had hoped rehabilitation would be enough to help him. Oakland resumes Friday night when it hosts the Angels. And right now, the As just need to gure out how to score some runs. A franchise that was once known for its big bashers at the plate such as Reggie Jackson, Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, Jason Giambi and Miguel Tejada is on pace for one of its worst offensive seasons in history. The As have managed just 3.4 runs per game the second-lowest mark in the league. They are also second worst in batting average (.233) on-base percentage (.299) and slugging percentage (.337). Oakland has an AL-worst 50 home runs, having hit more than two in a game just once all season. The As are on pace for the lowest marks in average, on-base percentage and home runs since moving to Oakland in 1968 and the second-lowest runs per game in the Oakland era. That all adds up to the teams worst record at the All-Star break since they were 37-52 in 1997. Few hitters have stepped up, including key offseason acquisitions Josh Willingham, David DeJesus and Hideki Matsui, who have failed to provide the upgrade on offense that Oakland sorely needs. Ultimately were going to have to score more runs if were going to get back in this thing, Melvin said. Thats going to be the focus in the second half, to really believe in ourselves offensively. You can get into a rut. Your expectations come down some where you go through a half and underachieved offensively. Its my job, the coaches job, the players job, to get a better mindset and get higher expectations. We have quite a few guys here who can do better offensively. The As hoped that their rst midseason manager change in a quarter century would help wake up the struggling bats. Geren was red on June 9 after four-plus seasons, losing his nal nine games as manager to end this season with a 27-36 record. Melvin came in and steadied the team quickly and the As even showed some life in a six-game winning streak that included a sweep against the World Series champion Giants that raised hope that Oakland could make a second-half run. But the As lost 13 of their next 18 games, including six of seven to division rivals Seattle and Texas in the nal week before the break. The As scored two or fewer runs in ve of those seven games. Making the offensive struggles even more frustrating is that the pitching has been outstanding for much of the rst half. Behind All-Star Gio Gonzalez and Cahill, the As have posted an AL-best 3.14 ERA despite having ve starters and former All-Star closer Andrew Bailey spend time on the disabled list during the rst half. This pitching staff we have is pretty unbelievable, inelder Scott Sizemore said. They keep us in the game every time. If we can manage to put up some runs for them, we can make a run in the second half. The question now is if its too late to make that kind of run to get back into contention. The As are more likely to trade some of their key players to a contender in the coming weeks than they are to add a needed piece. But the players arent quite ready to give up on this season yet, pointing to a major league-worst record of 12-20 in one-run games as a sign that the team is close to turning the corner. We just need to be a little bit more consistent, rookie second baseman Jemile Weeks said. Right now were in every game that weve lost. Thats the frustrating part about it, were losing by one run, two runs. Thats every game. We just need better at-bats and a few more two-out hits. Were playing great. Its just a few little things that gives the other team the edge. Weeks has been one of the few bright spots in the rst half, batting .288 with 11 extra-base hits and seven stolen bases in 30 games. His emergence led to the trade of the teams longest tenured player, Mark Ellis, to Colorado on June 30. Sometimes all it takes is two or three guys or a series where you start to hit on all cylinders, Melvin said. It can be contagious just like it can be when youre struggling.

Roger Clemens leaves the federal courthouse in Washington. A judge declared a mistrial on Thursday in the perjury trial of Clemens after prosecutors violated an order that barred certain information from being introduced to the jury.

TRIAL
Continued from page 11
the courthouse, Clemens did not comment but accepted hugs from a couple of court workers, shook hands with the security guards and autographed baseballs for fans waiting outside. The quick end on only the second day of testimony was the second mistrial involving a former star player accused in baseballs steroids scandal. Home run king Barry Bonds was convicted three months ago of obstruction of justice, but a mistrial was called on three more serious false-statements charges after jurors couldnt agree on a verdict. Walton said he would hold a hearing Sept. 2 to decide whether Clemens should face another trial. Hardin told reporters, I wouldnt even hazard a guess about what Walton will decide. Walton could end the prosecution by declaring that a new trial would run afoul of double jeopardy the right not to be brought to trial twice on the same charges for the same offense. But experts said it was unlikely that he would go that far, especially since the trial was just under way. Generally speaking, mistrial does not bar a trial of the defendant when the defendant requested the mistrial, said Harry Sandick, a former prosecutor who now defends whitecollar cases. He said a judge may make an exception for misconduct on the part of prosecutors, but this appears to have been a simple yet devastating mistake. How could the government not have reviewed each piece of evidence after the courts pretrial rulings? he said. This is crucially important, and prosecutors have to do this all the time. New York Yankees star shortstop Derek Jeter, once a teammate of Clemens, said after the mistrial was declared: Im no legal expert, but you want it to be behind him. Obviously, the more attention thats paid to that, its just negative for the game in general. The U.S. attorneys ofce in Washington, which tried the case, said it would have no comment because of Waltons gag order. Clemens also stayed mum.

next week. Yet camps will not open without a new CBA in place. Talks gained steam in May, overseen by a court-appointed mediator, U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan, who is on vacation this week. Boylan ordered both sides to meet with him in Minneapolis early next week, and the owners have a special meeting set for next Thursday in Atlanta, where they potentially could ratify a new deal if one is reached by then. Even once an agreement in principle on the core economic issues is drawn up, there will be more work to be done. Thats because there are certain issues that wont be addressed in full until after the NFLPA re-establishes itself as a union a process that might take a couple of days and can then serve once again as a collective bargaining unit for the players. Items that could fall under that umbrella include the leagues drug-testing program, health insurance, retired players pensions and other benets, none of which is likely to be resolved completely while the union is still dissolved. Theres also a chance the players could pursue a lockout injunction for rookies and free agents after an appeals court ruled last week that the work stoppage could continue.

NFL players, owners making progress

Sports Briefs
San Jose makes deal with Toronto FC and Vancouver
TORONTO Toronto FC has made two trades, acquiring Canadian international midelder Terry Duneld from Vancouver for allocation money and future considerations, and forward Ryan Johnson from San Jose for forward Alan Gordon, midfielder Jacob Peterson, and Canadian defender Nana Attakora. Both deals were announced Thursday. The 29-year-old Duneld has one goal and three assists in 12 MLS games this season. Johnson, 26, is a Jamaican international who has 17 goals and 13 assists in 99 games with the Earthquakes.

NEW YORK Making significant progress on one of the major sticking points in NFL labor talks, owners and players neared agreement Thursday on how to rein in the soaring salaries of high rst-round draft picks, people familiar with the negotiations said. Another person with knowledge of the discussions told The Associated Press that Thursdays 12-hour-plus meeting at a Manhattan law rm was producing results but that other key issues remained to be resolved, such as what free agency will look like moving forward and new offseason workout rules. The people spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the talks aimed at ending the NFLs four-monthlong lockout are supposed to be condential. With time running short to keep the preseason intact, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith, eight owners and about a half-dozen current or former players were in their second consecutive day of lengthy negotiations. They were expected to meet again Friday as they attempt to resolve the impasse that created the sports rst work stoppage since 1987. On rookie salaries, four people familiar

with the talks said rst-round draft picks will sign four-year contracts with a club option for a fth year. That represents a compromise; owners were hoping for ve-year contracts, while players wanted highly drafted rookies to be under a teams control for only four years. NFL owners have long sought to restrict the huge bonuses and salaries paid to unproven rookies, particularly those selected at the top of the draft. Quarterback Sam Bradford, taken No. 1 overall in 2010 by the St. Louis Rams, signed a six-year, $78 million contract that included a record $50 million in guaranteed money. Under the system discussed Thursday, people told the AP, clubs will have an option for a fth year on a rookies contract for a predetermined amount based on the players performance during the previous years of the deal. The NFL locked out players in March, after negotiations broke down and the old collective bargaining agreement expired, and now the preseason is fast approaching. The need to arrive at a deal becomes greater with each passing day. The Hall of Fame game that opens the exhibition season is scheduled for Aug. 7 between the Rams and the Chicago Bears, who hope to be able to start training camp at the end of

99 team watching Americans with pride, nostalgia


FRANKFURT, Germany Theyre hanging on the edges of their seats with every game, cheering each goal and lled with pride at the U.S. run in the World Cup. Fans back home? Well, yes, them too. Few are happier with the U.S. success than the members of the 1999 squad, that charismatic, groundbreaking team that was a hit on and off the eld. This team might not be as dominant as the one with Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, Brandi Chastain, Michelle Akers and Kristine Lilly. But its gritty and determined, and the personalities of Abby Wambach, Hope Solo and Megan Rapinoe have struck a chord with Americans much like the players in 99 did. And after 12 years, coach Tony DiCicco says its time another American team won the World Cup title. The U.S. plays Japan in the nal Sunday.

Fast play continues at WSOP


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS Players kept up pressure on one another at the World Series of Poker main event on Thursday, causing quick bustouts that are speeding up the pace of the tournament. Of the 1,865 players who started their third session in the no-limit Texas Hold em tournament Thursday, 649 were eliminated during the rst ve hours of play a pace of more than two bustouts each minute. Eleven-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, who was slightly below average with about 155,000 in chips after ve hours, said entrants play fast in the third session because thats what got them through their rst two sessions. Theres a whole group of people that think they need to raise and re-raise every hand, Hellmuth told The Associated Press. A lot of them are now busting. They got away with it

for a day or two theyre now busting. Hellmuth took two hits to his stack after the days rst break, leaving him with about 25,000 in chips, then more than doubled his stack with a broadway straight against twopair. A few hands later, he moved up to about 120,000 in chips after winning a hand with ace-king against his opponents ace-eight. The top 693 players in the tournament get at least $19,000 each, but the tournament likely wont reach the money until Friday. Many players panic because they believe their stacks are too low, Hellmuth said. In a secondary tournament room that started with 91 tables of about nine players each, just 47 remained after less than three hours, with tournament ofcials shufing players to ll in empty seats at different tables. Ben Lamb, the tournaments chip leader going into the day, held court on one of two

ESPN feature tables, winning one pot uncontested on the river after ve players called his raise on the op. Tougher table today, Lamb said on Twitter before adding to his chip stack throughout the early part of play. Anton Ionel, a Romanian player who started the day with 205,200 in chips, gambled all his chips after hitting a third king to match the pair in his hand. His opponent called with pocket aces that were no good, giving Ionel enough chips to rival Lamb. But Daryl Jace of Saugus, Mass., surged to the lead after gambling more than 400,000 chips with a pair of deuces a hand that would have been at best just under a 50-50 shot to win against two over cards, and a roughly 20 percent shot against a higher pocket pair.

Harrison apologizes for some of his magazine remarks


Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison has apologized for using an anti-gay slur to refer to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in an interview with Mens Journal, and says his critical statements about teammates were taken out of context. Harrison posted a statement on his Twitter account Thursday night. In the article, the Steelers star criticized Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and running back Rashard Mendenhall for their play in last seasons Super Bowl loss to Green Bay.

Phelps Taurasi,Bird,Catchings voted All-Star starters predicts success


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GOLD COAST, Australia Michael Phelps is predicting the long world record drought in swimming will come to an end this month at the world championships in Shanghai, and he is best qualied to know. The 26-year-old has dominated swimming recently, winning eight of his 14 Olympic gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Games, and is competing in up to seven events at the world championships. Swimmings record Michael Phelps world drought has reached 18 months in the Olympicsize 50-meter pool since the ban on rubberized suits at the beginning of 2010. People just want it more now. Were going to see faster swimming than weve really ever seen, Phelps said after a training session Friday at Southport on Australias Gold Coast, where the U.S. team is preparing for the championships. There are going to be a lot faster swims than even the Olympics or the world swimming championships in 09 even with the suits we have now. An incredible 43 world records were set at the world championships in Rome two years ago, including Phelps marks in the buttery and 400 medley, and overall between 2008 and 2009 the rubberized suit era there were more than 200 records set over long- and shortcourse. Many swimmers and coaches thought after the suits were banned last year that it would take a decade before the records start tumbling again. Men are now only allowed to wear textile suits from the waist to the knees and women are restricted to suits that stretch from the shoulders to the knees.

NEW YORK Phoenixs Diana Taurasi, Seattles Sue Bird and Indianas Tamika Catchings were voted as starters for the WNBA All-Star game again. Catchings, who led all players with 32,706 votes, was joined by Fever teammate Katie Douglas, Atlantas Angel McCoughtry, Connecticuts Tina Charles Diana Taurasi and New Yorks Cappie Pondexter as Eastern Conference starters announced Thursday night.

Swin Cash and injured Los Angeles center Candace Parker joined Taurasi and Bird second overall with 25,077 as starters for the West. The All-Star game is July 23 in San Antonio. Moore, with 21,379 votes, became the rst rookie voted to start since Bird and Catchings in 2002. Any time the fans take the effort to reach out to show that they want to see you play Maya Moore and appreciate your game, it always feels great, Moore said. Especially being a rookie and new to the league.

There was no game in 2008, when Parker was the league MVP and Rookie of the Year. The U.S. national team played a team of remaining AllStars in 2004 when Taurasi went on to earn Rookie of the Year honors and last season, when Charles won the award. Catchings (2002-03, 0507, 09, 11), Bird (02-03, 05-07, 09, 11) and Taurasi (05-07, 09, 11) have been selected as starters in every All-Star game that has taken Sue Bird place since they have been in the league. All-Star reserves will be announced on Tuesday.

Acura adds station wagon to stable


By Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

With stubbornly high gasoline prices, station wagons are suddenly appealing and Acuras new-for-2011 TSX Sport Wagon should be especially so. The TSX posts the best fuel mileage rating from the federal government of any 2011-model, gasoline-powered, conventional-looking wagon: 22 miles per gallon in city driving, 30 mpg on the highway. This is higher than mileage ratings for many smaller sport utility vehicles, including the four-cylinder-powered Toyota RAV4. Meanwhile, at less than 16 feet long, the TSX is nimble in its handling, attractively styled and has more cargo room than compact sport utility vehicles like the Hyundai Tucson. The TSX also is a recommended buy of Consumer Reports magazine. With a host of standard features, including automatic transmission, perforated leather-trimmed seats, power moonroof, two-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth phone connectivity, roof rails and power-adjustable and heated front seats, the 2011 TSX Sport Wagon has a starting manufacturers suggested retail price, including destination charge, of $31,845. This compares with $29,625 for a base, 2011 Audi A3 with 200-horsepower, four-cylinder engine and automatic transmission. But with sunroof, Bluetooth, roof rails and poweradjustable front passenger seat added in, the A3s price rises to more than $32,000. Another luxury-brand competitor, the 2011 BMW 328i wagon, has a starting retail price of $38,575 with 230-horsepower, inline six cylinder and manual transmission. The new TSX wagon is the second most fuel efcient vehicle in the Acura lineup, after the 2011 TSX sedan which has a government rating of 22/31 mpg. Note that the wagon version of TSX is about 3.5 inches

The 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon has the best gas mileage in its class and is even better than many smaller SUVs.The interior, right, is as high-tech as any around, including a 15-gigabyte media hard drive.
longer and about an inch taller than the sedan and is 130 pounds heavier. But the TSX wagon has the revised front face of the 2011 TSX sedan. Its not as heavy-looking as last years TSX styling; overall, the proportions of the wagon look good. Drivers can sit up a bit inside on the TSX wagon seats, but theyre not in an upright position as they are in some of todays taller-riding cars. So, while I enjoyed the comfortable front seats in the TSX wagon, I couldnt see much around or through trucks, vans and other tall vehicles in front of me. Theres one engine: A 2.4-liter, 201-horsepower, double overhead cam, inline four cylinder that has parent company Hondas i-VTEC intelligent variable valve control and lift technology that balances performance with fuel economy. While the TSX sedan is offered with a manual transmission, the TSX wagon has only a ve-speed automatic. There are paddle shifters on the steering wheel, though, so a driver can, without a clutch pedal, shift manually from forward gear to forward gear. The test TSX Sport Wagon was a good performer in city trafc and had some spunk on highways. But the engine buzzed noisily when I had four adults inside and was pressing hard to pass other cars on an uphill stretch of highway in the mountains. Torque peaks at 170 foot-pounds at 4,300 rpm, which is considerably less than the 207 foot-pounds of torque coming on as

early as 1,800 rpm in the turbocharged, four-cylinder Audi A3. Additionally, the TSX wagons 0-to-60-miles-an-hour performance comes in at more than 8 seconds, so this wagon isnt quite as sporty as its name implies. And, unfortunately, the TSX wagon requires premium fuel. Still, I enjoyed the way the TSX handled and rode. Through the nicely sized steering wheel, I felt a palpable connection to the pavement, and there was a decent on-center feel. The electric power steering did not feel articial and responded quickly to commands. Impressively, this wagon felt at home in mountain, twisting roads, where it maintained composure and grip with none of

the tippy sensation of an SUV. In town, the TSX wagon was small enough to t into parking spaces labeled for compact cars, and it easily slotted into parallel parking spots on city streets. Throughout, passengers felt mild vibrations nearly all the time as the TSX wagons 17-inch tires rolled over road imperfections and manhole covers. But the interior was quieter than I expected. The optional, 415-watt, ELS sound system pumped out impressively strong, clear tunes and included a 15-gigabyte media hard drive for hours of songs. The navigation system was projected on a sizable and brightly colored display in the center stack of the dashboard. The screen is new, with light-emitting diodes providing the backlighting and resolution thats 400 percent better than before. The nav systems menus work faster now, too. Front-seat passengers had to negotiate legroom with back-seat riders and adjust their seats accordingly, because the TSX wagons rear legroom is a less-than-generous 34.3 inches. Headroom of 36.9 inches in back is OK but not comfortable for tall passengers for long periods of time. I used every bit of the 60.5 cubic feet of cargo space in back, with rear seats folded down. They dont sit exactly at, though. And I was thankful that I didnt have to hoist items up high to get them inside as I have in some SUVs. The power rear liftgate, part of the optional technology package, came in handy as I approached the car with my arms full. The several hidden storage spots under the cargo oor were a surprising and welcome feature, and inside and out, t and nish on the test TSX wagon was awless. All safety features are standard, and they include side curtain air bags, stability assist, traction control and front seats with anti-whiplash head restraints. MUMBAI, India The triple bombing that killed 17 in the heart of Indias nancial capital sparked anger Thursday over the governments inability to prevent terror strikes despite overhauling security forces after the 2008 Mumbai siege. Indian ofcials say they have made extraordinary security reforms since 10 Pakistani terrorists rampaged across the city nearly three years ago, but following Wednesdays attack they warned they may never be able to guarantee a terror-free nation in a region plagued by extremism. We live in the most troubled neighborhood in the world, said Indian Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram, pointing to nearby Pakistan and Afghanistan. Every part of India is vulnerable. No terror group claimed responsibility and investigators had no immediate suspects in the bombings that shook three separate neighborhoods within minutes during Wednesdays busy evening rush. lessly pursue the perpetrators. They must be brought to justice quickly. I assure the people that the government will do everything in its power to prevent such attacks in the future, he said. But many remained frustrated. Why is Mumbai being attacked again? said Uttam Jain, who works in a gold shop in the Jhaveri Bazaar jewelry market that was hit by one of the blasts. Jain said he was disgusted with politicians who promise security, but do nothing after the media cameras are gone. The bombings marked the worst terror attack in India since the 2008 siege, which killed 166 people over three days. After that attack, the government expanded police recruiting and training, bought high-tech equipment and updated its ancient police arsenal. It established a National Investigation Agency to probe terror attacks and set up commando bases across the country including one in Mumbai so rapid reaction forces could swiftly arrive at the scene of an attack.

Army treats brain injuries in field


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan The traumatic brain injury that Army Staff Sgt. Isidoro Castillo suffered when a suicide bomber attacked his unit in Afghanistan could have meant the end of his deployment. Instead, Castillos doctors handled his injury without sending him back to the United States, part of a military effort to better treat and track brain injuries that have become a signature afiction of the war. Castillo, originally from Fayetteville, N.C., described the bombing days later while he was recovering in a new specialized housing unit for soldiers being treated for brain injuries. He was in my peripheral vision. I heard a pop and I hit the ground and the explosion went off, Castillo said. Five soldiers from his 18-member mentoring team were killed during an April meeting with Afghan soldiers at an outpost in the eastern

province of Nangarhar. The Army has had to rethink the way it deals with traumatic brain injury in Afghanistan and Iraq because U.S. soldiers often are targeted by roadside or suicide bombs. Not treating the sometimes hard-to-spot injury can lead to physical and emotional problems that linger long after the soldier returns home. But sending troops out of country for treatment can leave battle units short-handed. Medical evacuations from combat zones for traumatic brain injury have been growing, from 194 in 2008 to 303 in 2010, according to statistics provided to The Associated Press from the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center. Last year, the military implemented a strict new policy on treating and tracking soldiers with concussions right on the front lines of war. Medical ofcers in Afghanistan say the new approach, which required opening seven new rehabilitation centers called Level II clinics throughout Afghanistan, is allowing more sol-

diers to go back to their units rather than be evacuated for treatment. Soldiers who are sent home for treatment generally dont come back. Castillo was treated under the new guidelines. After diagnosis in the eld, he was sent to the rehabilitation clinic the 101st Airborne Division set up at Bagram Air Field for about a week before returning to his unit. On the hot and dusty military base, Castillo had his own room in a cool, quiet housing unit near the hospital, where he could watch movies on a at-screen TV, play video games or toss a volleyball around on the sandy court outside. Medical crews use these leisure activities combined with military tness tests, such as running with body armor or maneuvering around obstacles, to determine whether the soldier is t to return to duty. The clinics are also stocked with card games and Wii video games, which help occupational therapists look for memory loss or balance issues.

Castillo and other soldier patients meet daily with doctors and have dedicated occupational therapists who monitor symptoms like concentration, balance, headaches and dizziness. The care they are receiving in Afghanistan is similar to TBI rehabilitation programs at military hospitals in the U.S. It makes you feel like the stress is gone, Castillo said. You have nothing to think about but how am I going to get better, whats my next appointment. They just let you breathe. Clinics that opened last year in eastern Afghanistan returned about 1,000 soldiers to their units, said Maj. Kevin Ridderhoff, the pharmacist for the 101st Airborne Division who oversaw the program during the divisions deployment. Ridderhoff said about 97 percent of soldiers who were referred to a Level II clinic were returned to duty after an average three-day stay. A big thing is eight hours of uninterrupted rest.

Final Potterfilm is sad, satisfying


By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

If last years Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 marked the beginning of the end with a gripping feeling of doom and gloom, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 wraps things up once and for all on a note of melancholy. Oh, its dramatic, to be sure: gorgeous, somber and startling as the young wizard faces his destiny and ghts the evil Lord Voldemort. But the end of this staggeringly successful movie franchise, an epic fantasy saga spanning eight films over the past decade, provides a necessary emotional catharsis for Harry and for us. Even those who arent ardent Potterphiles who arent waiting in a line around the theater with their homemade wands and hand-drawn lightning scars might nd themselves getting unexpectedly choked up a couple of times. Thats always been the real magic of the series, based on J.K. Rowlings novels: that mixture of the exotic and the everyday, the otherworldly and the utterly relatable. No longer the innocent children they were when they entered Hogwarts, Harry, Ron and Hermione are growing up and moving on, and so must we. That the future of the wizard world hangs in the balance in this final installment is only part of the tale. Still, director David Yates has accomplished the difcult task of bringing it all to a close in satisfying fashion. Having directed the last four of the eight lms, Yates has provided a momentum and cohesion to the Harry Potter canon, which has gotten progressively darker and more mature. And Steve Kloves, whos written all but one of the screenplays in the series, has once again risen to the challenge of trying to please purists and casual viewers alike in adapting Rowlings revered writing. Its hard to imagine how complicated this must have been, given the density of the mythology, even though the nal book was divided into two lms. (Although the epilogue, which features some of the main characters decked out in grown-up makeup, does seem a bit cheesy and hasty and it might inspire a few giggles.) At the same time, because it took two lms to depict the action in the last installment, this second half doesnt feel overstuffed or overlong. It moves with great urgency toward the final showdown between Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes, deeply disturbing as usual); danger infuses

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2


Director:David Yates Cast: Daniel Radcliffe,Emma Watson,Rupert Grint Rated: PG-13 Grade:

every moment, and it never overstays its welcome. Much of that has to do with the look of the lm, both in its attention to inventive detail and to the sweeping, elaborate set pieces. The cinematography from Eduardo Serra, who also shot Deathly Hallows: Part 1, is once again richly ominous and beautifully bleak. Here, Hogwarts isnt a warm, bustling place full of possibilities but rather a fearsome fortress swarming with Death Eaters, where Professor Severus Snape (the deliciously icy Alan Rickman) rules as if leading his own fascist regime. Yes, Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is in 3-D its the only installment in the series to be presented that way and as usual, that was unnecessary. The technical elements all looked awless and immersive in the previous lm. (Warner Bros. wisely chose not to rush the conversion from 2-D on Deathly Hallows: Part 1, and instead took more time for the process here.) But the addition of a third dimension does allow some details to pop, and its never a distraction. Although the Potter lms have always been about the escape of the spectacle, the kids and their struggle to navigate both good and evil provides some much-needed rooting in reality. Radcliffe has never been better, and brief ashbacks to the earliest images of him in the role only serve as a reminder of how far hes come. The character has long since been cemented into his identity, but more is required of him physically and emotionally than ever before, and hes more than up for it all. Deathly Hallows: Part 2 drops us into a menacing version of this world weve come to know, immediately and without explanation; its a bit disorienting at rst, even if youve

seen all thats come before it. Then again, if youre bothering to check out the nale, in theory you should know whats going on. Harry, Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) are still hunting Horcruxes scattered containers that hold pieces of Voldemorts soul, which are crucial to Harrys survival in order to destroy them. One of them is being stored in Bellatrix Lestranges bank vault, which allows Helena Bonham Carter to have a bit of fun with her wicked

character. Hogwarts is no longer a place of refuge as Voldemort draws ever closer; his attack on the stately school is thrilling, but it also provides moments of heroism for some characters you might not expect. Still, this is the place where all the narrative and emotional threads must converge and tie up at last. While Deathly Hallows: Part 2 offers long-promised answers, it also dares to pose some eternal questions, and itll stay with you after the nal chapter has closed.

MTVs teen moms juggle toddlers, tabloid attention


By Alicia Rancilio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK People tend to stare at 19year-old Maci Bookout. If I go grocery shopping or something its not that bad but on the weekends that Bentleys dad has him and me and my friends go out ... to a club or something I can tell that people are like watching to see how Im going to act or what Im going to do, says Bookout, of Chattanooga, Tenn., mother of a 2-year-old named Bentley and one of the stars of MTVs Teen Mom, a reality show about kids with kids. Bookout and her co-stars, Farrah Abraham, Amber Portwood and Catelynn Lowell, rst made their TV debut on another MTV reality show, 16 and Pregnant. The series was so successful that the network tapped them to star in the Teen Mom spin-off. Nielsen reports some 3.65 million viewers tuned in to its third season premiere on July 5. Viewers watched Lowell and her boyfriend Tyler grieve over the daughter they gave up for adoption (they maintain they made the right

decision), Abrahams ups and downs with her mother (one altercation between the two led to her mom being charged with assault) and Bookout navigate coparenting with her exance Ryan. Motherhood has made Maci Bookout the teens instant celebrities, with tabloids and bloggers hot on their trail at every change or rumor in their lives. Like moving or marriage or are we pregnant again, says Abraham, 20, who has a 2-year-old daughter named Sophia. You know those things, I guess, are attention-grabbers so its understandable why that would happen. But Abraham doesnt think that having a baby should make her a celebrity or a role model for other teens. By no means do we think, Oh, its cool to be a teen mom. I denitely dont think that its cool, she says. Lowell, 19, from Port Huron, Mich., has used

her celebrity to help teens become more knowledgeable about safe sex and the responsibilities of parenthood. She speaks to teens at high schools and churches about teen pregnancy and the various options available. All of us kind of agree Farrah on one thing. As long as the Abraham show is doing its job as far as preventing teen pregnancy and stays educational the show will continue, says Bookout. But celebrity hasnt been as easy for all the teens, particularly 21-year-old Portwood, of Anderson, Ind., who was given probation in June after pleading guilty to two domestic battery charges against Gary Shirley, the father of her child. The incidents aired on the reality show. The following week, Shirley called 911, fearing Portwood was about to hurt herself. The reality star was hospitalized and is now undergoing treatment at a rehab facility. Her child, Leah, is living with her father.

I love Amber. I mean I hope that she just keeps her head up and she knows what she needs to get done and stays strong, says Lowell. I think where shes at is good for her right now and she just needs to focus on getting better. Bookout attributes some of Portwoods troubles to not having a proper support system. I just feel that Amber is very alone in her world at home and it would be very, very difcult for anyone to be alone, Bookout says. MTV did not respond to a request for a comment about Portwood. A second version of Teen Mom aired on MTV earlier this year and this group is not without controversy. Jenelle Evans, 19, from North Carolina just nished rehab. Last March, she was charged with assault after a video of her attacking another girl on camera went viral. I feel like, Shouldnt you have learned from altercations with me and my mom or Amber and her boyfriend? We put our lives out there so everybody can learn from it and not keep making the same mistakes, says Abraham.

A SPECIAL REMBRANDT. One of the nest Rembrandt portraits in private hands is currently on view at San Franciscos Legion of Honor, part of Dutch and Flemish Masterworks from the Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo Collection, premier examples of the most talented artists of the Dutch Golden Age. Rembrandts Portrait of Aeltje Uylenburgh is among the 70 Otterloo holdings still lifes, landscapes, history paintings, maritime scenes, city proles and genre scenes that depict life in the 1600s as the Dutch Republic increased in maritime strength and came to dominate international trade. Among the enchanting works displayed are genre paintings, showing the daily lives of the rich and poor. The importance of frugality and modesty and the eeting nature of life were especially popular themes in a society grappling with how to express its newfound prosperity while maintaining pious and humble lives. In Sleeping Man Having His Pockets Picked by Nicolaes Maes, one of Rembrandts most gifted pupils, a woman deftly picks the pockets of a sleeping man while coyly inviting the viewers silence. A beautiful and perhaps cautionary still life of glasses, pipes and tobacco alludes to the sources for the mans drowsy vulnerability. National pride is also reected in the carefully worked still lifes, which Dutch artists lled with the staples of the trades they dominated Dutch cheese, French wine,

Rapper Tech N9nes success comes into fruition


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA On a phone call from jail last year, Lil Wayne told a radio show about one of the rst rappers he wanted to collaborate with once he got free. It wasnt a reigning chart-topper like Jay-Z or Kanye West. Instead, Lil Wayne blurted out the name Tech N9ne. The Kansas City, Mo.-based rapper had steadily built a strong grass-roots fan base since releasing his rst album in 1999. But Lil Waynes name drop breathed new life into his career. I had no idea that he knew of me, recalled Tech N9ne, who eventually met Lil Wayne while the best-selling rapper was serving his eight-month sentence in New York. He said the pair held a conversation for almost three hours before the warden stopped them. After Lil Waynes radio shout-out, Tech N9ne said he had an inux of artists and producers

who reached out to work with him. It made everybody start to pay attention to me, he said. It made people see what I was doing. Wayne is one of the greatest rappers of our time, so he gave one hell of a boost. It showed in Tech N9nes Tech N9ne numbers. His 12th album, All 6s And 7s, which was released in June, debuted at No. 4 on Billboards Top 200 and topped the rap charts a major achievement for an independent artist. It features that collaboration with Lil Wayne, and he may appear on Waynes much anticipated Tha Carter IV. For Tech N9ne, its been a long journey. His popularity grew in the underground music scene due to his rapid-re style and lyrical rhyme patterns. He became known for his theatrical and extremely high-energy performances. In con-

certs, he normally sports his signature red spiked hair and white face paint. The 39-year-old Tech N9ne, who is also cofounder of his label Strange Music, carved a niche in the independent market with his heavy touring schedule, performing almost 200 times per year.

But for much of his career, Tech N9ne has struggled to crossover into mainstream because of his morbid lyrics and gothic-sounding beats. His music was dark enough that there were rumors about him being a devil worshipper an accusation he denies (he says hes been a believer of Christianity all his life).

Chain restaurants make kids menus healthier


By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Parents seeking healthier restaurant meals for their kids can start to look beyond chicken nuggets and macaroni-andcheese. At least 19 restaurant chains including Burger King, Chilis, IHOP and Friendlys said Wednesday that they will include healthier options on their childrens menus. At least 15,000 restaurant locations will focus on increasing servings of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains and lowfat dairy. The items will have less fats, sugars and sodium. Less healthy foods like burgers and fries will still be on the menu, but the restaurants say they will do more to promote healthier options. Chilis, for example, will highlight a chicken sandwich with a side of pineapple or mandarin oranges on their kids menu. Burger King has recently reformulated childrens chicken nuggets so they include less sodium, and employees taking orders will ask if customers want healthier apple fries instead of just the standard fries with that? The effort is part of a new

National Restaurant Association initiative to give kids more healthy options at restaurants and to make it easier for parents to find those options. Some of the items are already on menus, but restaurants will advertise them more prominently and ag the healthier menu items to make ordering easier. To be part of the program, restaurants must include at least one kids menu item that is 600 calories or less and meets other nutritional requirements. A side dish worth less than 200 calories must also be included. This could provide a great push toward healthier offerings at restaurants, said Robert Post, the Agriculture Department ofcial in charge of developing the departments dietary guidelines, which came out earlier this year. Those urged Americans to eat less salt. We hope this is a trend toward new items and voluntary reformulations, Post said. Chain restaurants large and small signing up for the initiative are Au Bon Pain, Bonesh Grill, Burger King, Burgerville, Carrabbas Italian Grill, Chevys, Chilis, Corner Bakery Cafe, Cracker Barrel, Dennys, El Pollo Loco,

At least 15,000 restaurant locations will focus on increasing servings of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins,whole grains and low-fat dairy.
Friendlys, IHOP, Joes Crab Shack, Outback Steakhouse, Silver Diner, Sizzler, T-Bones Great American Eatery and zpizza. Joe Taylor of Chilis said the company has responded to consumer demands for healthier foods. While diners looking for a healthier meal used to have to ask for substitutions, they now have more options. Weve seen our guests customize their meals to a greater degree when they are looking to hold the mayo or add the broccoli, Taylor said. Patrick Lenow of IHOP said the restaurant will add two new childrens menu items because of the effort, including pancakes with fruit and scrambled eggs with fruit. The company had already limited everything on their childrens menu to fewer than 600 calories and made fruit a default side, instead of fries a change that has dramatically increased fruit consumption at the restaurants, Lenow said. Several restaurant chains havent committed yet to joining the effort. Maggianos, owned with Chilis by Brinker International, is not part of the program. Neither is McDonalds, the worlds largest burger chain. Dawn Sweeney, president and CEO of the National Restaurant Association, said the group is hoping to add additional restaurants to the effort in coming months. First lady Michelle Obama last year attended a National Restaurant Association meeting in Washington and pleaded with them to take a little butter or cream out of their dishes, use low-fat milk and provide apple slices or carrots as a default side. She said Americans eat a third of their meals in restaurants, which have long been seen by many as the worst offenders in terms of nutrition. Many restaurant companies are starting to reformulate menu items and add new healthier sections to their menus, however, as consumers have shown a heightened

interest in nutrition. John Dillon of Dennys said the company recently took photos of French fries off their menus. Where before we may have been concerned about not having French fries pictured on our menu, were now nding that has actually helped our business, he said. Nutrition advocate Margo Wootan of the advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest says the effort is a good rst step, but that restaurants need to do even more. Its not enough to have one healthy option in a mineeld of high calories, high fat and high salt, she said. She says the best ways for restaurants to make a difference is to make a healthy side dish a default, as IHOP has with fruit, and to suggest healthier options to diners at the order point, as Burger King has with its apple fries. The federal government will also soon require restaurants to post calories on their menus. FDA guidelines will require chain restaurants with 20 or more locations, along with bakeries, grocery stores, convenience stores and coffee chains, to clearly post the calories.

Doing lunch safely: From home to school


By Michelle Locke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

When it comes to lunch box safety, you cant be too cool for school. One of the most important guidelines for keeping it safe is just keeping it cold, says Christine

Bruhn, director of the Center for Consumer Research at the University of California, Davis. Safe lunches begin with safe shopping and home storage. In other words, perishable foods intended for lunches such as raw or cooked meat and poultry should

be kept cold or frozen at the store and at home. And dont leave food out at room temperature for more than two hours, one hour if the temperature is over 90. When it comes to packing lunch, its a good idea to do it the night before. This not only gives you a bit

more time during the morning rush, it also allows perishable food plenty of time to chill. Aviva Goldfarb, author of the The Six OClock Scramble cookbook, packs lunches while making or cleaning up from dinner. She recommends doing the non-perishable

items such as crackers and cookies during the weekend to make things that much easier. If sliced lunch meats are on the menu, its a good idea to check the sell-by date before purchasing, and then use up the meat within about

Tomato,corn and melon salad: Robust flavors


By J.M. Hirsch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

For Nate Appleman, a great salad is a bit of a moving target. And it never includes mesclun mix. Ever. It is the worst thing ever and I refuse to eat or serve it, said Appleman, a star of Food Networks The Next Iron Chef and chef for Chipotle Mexican Grill. Fifteen years ago mesclun mix was something special. Now it is generic and mixed so far in advance that inevitably some of the lettuces start to rot and ruins the whole thing. As for what he does include... It varies. A great salad for me is all about balance. That balance changes throughout the year and usually depends on what is in season and the weather outside, Appleman said in an e-mail interview. I tend to eat lighter in the summer, so the salad tends to be the meal and during the winter it usually accompanies something heavier. And whatever the time of year, his inspiration starts when shopping. The process for me when creating a salad is allowing the ingredients to dictate what is in the salad. It always starts with a trip to the farmers market, he said. Usually, I pick one central ingredient and then build from there, keeping in mind a nice balance of crisp, sweet, salty, bitter and sour. For APs 20 Salads of Summer series, he offered a robustly avored salad of tomatoes, raw corn and cantaloupe

Tomato, corn and melon summer salad


Start to nish: 30 minutes Servings: 6 For the dressing: 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 2 jalapeno peppers (for less heat remove seeds) 2 teaspoons dried oregano Salt For the salad: 2 ears corn 2 large tomatoes, cut into chunks 1 small cantaloupe, halved, seeded and scooped with a melon baller 1 bunch of radishes, thinly shaved on a mandoline (or sliced as thinly as possible) 1 medium cucumber, peeled and halved, then seeded and thinly shaved on a mandoline (or sliced as thinly as possible) 1 medium red onion, halved and thinly shaved on a mandoline (or sliced as thinly as possible) 8 ounces feta cheese To make the dressing, in a blender combine the olive oil, vinegar, jalapeno (with or without the seeds) and oregano. Puree until mostly smooth. Season with salt, then set aside. To assemble the salad, start by standing each ear of corn on a cutting board

on its wide end. Use a serrated knife to saw down the length of the cobs to remove the kernels. Discard the cobs. In a large bowl, gently toss together the corn kernels, tomatoes, cantaloupe, radishes, cucumber and red onion. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, then toss again to coat evenly.

Taking guacamole to a new level with seafood


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Classic guacamole already is amazing. Add heaps of marinated crabmeat and shrimp or lobster (or be crazy and use both), and now you have a bowl of comfort truly worthy of being served to Dad with a mound of tortilla chips on Fathers Day. This recipe from Roberto Santibanez Truly Mexican, can be prepared and refrigerated up to an hour in advance, but let it warm at room temperature a bit before serving. The avors will be much better.

Seafood guacamole
Start to nish: 35 minutes Makes about 3 1/2 cups For the seafood: 4 ounces jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells 3 ounces cooked shrimp or lobster, cut into small pieces (1/2 cup) 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno or serrano chili, including seeds, more or less to taste 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 teaspoons minced canned chipotles in adobo, including sauce 1/4 teaspoon ne salt or 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt For the guacamole: 2 tablespoons nely chopped white onion 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno or serrano chili, including seeds, more or less to taste 1/4 teaspoon ne salt or 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided 1 large or 2 small ripe Hass avocados, halved and pitted Splash of lime juice In a large bowl, mix together the crabmeat, shrimp or lobster, orange juice, cilantro, chili, olive oil, chipotle and salt. Let the mixture marinate for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the guacamole. On a large cutting board, mince and mash together the onion, chili, salt and half of the cilantro. Transfer to a bowl. Use a knife to score the esh of the avocado halves in a crosshatch pattern, then scoop out with a spoon and add to the bowl. Toss well, then mash. Season with lime juice and additional chili and salt. With a slotted spoon, transfer about half of the seafood mixture into the guacamole, then stir. Season to taste with additional salt, then garnish with the remaining seafood mixture and the reserved cilantro. The seafood mixture and the guacamole (with a piece of plastic wrap pressed against the surface) can be stored separately in the refrigerator for up to an hour. Let the guacamole come to room temperature and let the seafood mixture stand at room temperature just long enough to take some of the chill off before you assemble and serve.

Continued from page 21
three to ve days of purchase, says Bruhn. (And, of course, youll be keeping the meat tightly wrapped and in the fridge in the meantime.) But how can you be sure your lovingly prepared lunch will stay cool? One way to go is with an insulated lunch box, a frozen gel pack and thermoses. You might also want to talk to your child about the importance of keeping the lunch somewhere shaded and cool during the day not in the sun or next to a radiator. If bringing gel packs to and from school isnt practical, you can slip a frozen juice box make sure its labeled as 100 percent juice, of course into a lunch box or sack lunch. By the time lunch rolls around, the juice should be thawed enough to drink, but the food should still be cool. To keep hot foods hot, a thermos is required. Youll get the most out of your thermos if you ll it with boiling water and let it stand for a few minutes before emptying it and putting in the hot soup, chili, etc. Less demanding foods include whole fruits and vegetables, hard cheese, and the old standby of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. (Though you will need to check with school ofcials to make sure there isnt a ban on peanut butter due to nut allergy concerns.) String cheese is a good traveler thats popular with children and also is a source of calcium. Fresh fruits such as apples or oranges are a good choice. For more tender fruit like peaches, you may be better off sending fruit thats been canned with no added sugar. Grapes are good, too, as are carrots and celery. Grapes travel best when packed in a rigid container. Another sturdy snack is nuts, though again you need to check to make sure your childs school doesnt have a no-nuts rule. To make the process as smooth as possible, Goldfarb, whose website focuses on time-saving ways to feed your family, suggests brainstorming with your children before the school year starts to see what kind of things theyd like for lunch.

State Senate OKs June presidential primary


SACRAMENTO The state Senate sent Gov. Jerry Brown a bill Thursday that would delay the 2012 presidential primary in California from February to June. Supporters said the bill, AB80, approved on a bipartisan 34-3 vote, would save the state about $100 million by combining the presidential sweepstakes with the regular statewide primary. California had tried to increase its political inuence by joining many other states in shifting its 2008 presidential primary to Super Tuesday in February 2008. However, the shift cost the state $97 million. Absent this law, California will have three separate elections next year, said state Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, who carried the bill in the Senate. This would be imposing a huge, gargantuan cost on the state. Several Republicans objected that the presidential and state primary elections should have been consolidated into a March election to give California more clout in picking the Republican nominee next year. The timing of the primary would be unlikely to inuence the Democratic field, where President Barack states of Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, Vermont and Washington. The effort has bipartisan support across the United States. Last month, the Republican-controlled New York Senate passed the National Popular Vote bill by a 47-13 margin, with Republicans favoring the bill by 2111 and Democrats favoring it by 26-2. The guy who gets the most votes should get elected, Hill said. Under the U.S. Constitution, the states have exclusive and complete power to allocate their electoral votes and may change their state laws concerning the awarding of their electoral votes at any time. Under the National Popular Vote bill, all of the states electoral votes would be awarded to the presidential candidate who receives the most on the backs of students ... Its a shame that the state has to put the regents in that position. Undergraduate and graduate tuition for California residents will jump to $12,192 a year, which doesnt include room, board and roughly $1,000 in campus fees. Thats $1,890, or 18 percent, more than the amount UC students paid in the previous academic year and more than three times what they paid a decade ago. About one-third of the estimated $216 million Obama is the presumed nominee as he seeks a second term. California was the big dog among 16 states participating in the crowded Super Tuesday primary in 2008, said Sen. Joel Anderson, R-La Mesa, and should stick with an early primary. While the state could save money, its an expensive democracy, Anderson said. The bill by Assemblyman Paul Fong, DCupertino, would conform Californias primary next year with the revised rules of both major political parties. popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The nationwide bill will take effect only when enacted, in identical form, by states possessing a majority of the electoral votes, 270 of 538. National Popular Vote legislation was approved twice by the state Legislature in 2006 and 2008 but vetoed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger In 56 presidential elections, four candidates were elected president despite losing the popular vote. The Governors Ofce indicated Brown will not make a decision on signing the bill until it reaches his desk.

HILL
Continued from page 1
Issues that matter to Californians are rarely given attention in presidential elections, Hill said. In-play states get more attention, he said. Every vote in California should be as important as those in Ohio. If Brown signs the legislation, Californias adoption of the National Popular Vote agreement would bring the nationwide total to 132 of the 270 electoral votes needed for the proposal to go into effect nationwide. The bill has been enacted by jurisdictions possessing 77 electoral votes so far 29 percent of the 270 necessary to activate the law including the District of Columbia and the

uncomfortable situation nancially, said Jreisat, a 21-year-old anthropology major who traveled to San Francisco to speak at the board meeting. Its tragic that the regents keep balancing the budget

in new tuition revenue will be used for nancial aid. Out-of-state and international students will pay about $36,000 in annual tuition. Californias system of public higher education has long served as a model of access, affordability and academic excellence, but its come under severe nancial pressure over the past few years as the state slashed funding to close massive budget decits caused by the economic downturn.

Burlingame High School that fall. He ultimately dropped out of the race before Election Day. Friedman believes he can help enhance educational offerings while maintaining sound fiscal practices, according to his application. Friedman noted an achievement gap within the high school district between students based on their economic backgrounds something he would like to see changed. During his interview, he stressed a need to work together while focusing on meeting national standards for achievement. Trustee Peter Hanley agreed with Lees Dwyer that Friedman had the edge. However, he gave Loy extra credit for regularly attending board meetings and remaining involved. We have a difcult nancial period ahead. I believe Friedman could add more to the nancial. Mike has a construction edge, he said. Given the districts difcult nancial future, Hanley gave Friedman the nod. Ultimately the board shared the point of view and pleaded for Loy who previously served on the Aragon PTO and has worked with the Measure M Citizen Oversight Committee to remain involved. Hillsborough resident Frykberg rounded out the top three candidates considered. Frykberg previously served on the Nueva School Board. The property management partner is also an associate pastor at the First Presbyterian clusion before Colvers confession, Chang said. Feiger told jurors the boy, an active child with a fascination of ovens, climbed on the appliance while his father slept and turned the heat knob before climbing down. After burning himself, the child reportedly went back to his father who found him whimpering when he awoke. Defense expert Dr. Terri Haddix, a forensic pathologist formerly employed by San Mateo County, offered a contrasting explanation of how the boy was burned but Chang said it would have required him to put one leg in the oven, take it out, and put the other leg inside. This isnt the hokey pokey and thats not what this is all about, Chang said. Colver is charged with inflicting injury on a child, child abuse likely to cause great bodily harm or death and the special allegation of causing great bodily injury. Chang told jurors they dont have to believe Colvers intent was cruelty, just that he knew or should have known that his actions had cruel consequences. In his nal story to police, Colver said that night he was tired, waiting for his girlfriend to return home from work and just lost it. He preheated the oven for a pizza and went to the bathroom where he heard his son slapping a hand on the surprised if it didnt do the same elsewhere. This decision is going to fast-track cities to move forward with the ban. City managers throughout San Mateo County did not want to put their city at risk of a lawsuit but this allows us to push forward without the threat, Canepa said. County Supervisor Adrienne Tissier is working with Carole Groom, president of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, on a ban ordinance that cities can use as a template, the same as it did with a recent ban on polystyrene products. Tissier was also waiting for the Supreme Court ruling and also to see if Santa Clara County was ever challenged for its ordinance. With the answers in, Tissier wants to send all the cities letters in the next couple weeks to gauge interest in working together. Rather than have them all be different, I want to have consistency. If we really believe this is a good step, for the sake of retailers and restaurants we shouldnt make it onerous, she said.

Church of Burlingame. Frykberg cited a desire to give back to the district which educated her son, a Burlingame High School graduate. During her interview, Frykberg stressed a need to reevaluate the stress on rote learning versus critical thinking. The former represents information readily available today. The latter, she said, is a skill. One question asked could make the November election interesting. Asked whether they planned to run in November, many said it depends. If appointed, most would run to keep the seat. Otherwise, there was a possibility that the candidate would not run. Gonzalez stated his intention to run regardless of who was appointed. Gonzalez is a 2006 graduate of Aragon High School and recent graduate of the University of California at Berkeley. The San Mateo resident is the assistant director for the Center for a New Generation at the Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula at Taft Community School in Redwood City, according to his application. Gonzalez said the district needs to emphasize vocational education and training. During his interview, he advocated for being a voice for immigrants and English language learners.

Elizabeth Frykberg, Jose Gonzalez, Michael Loy, Robert Mason and Charles Zelnik. Collins withdrew prior to the start of interviews Thursday. For the board, it came down to Friedman and Loy. Both are active and dedicated district volunteers and each had their own specialty, trustees said. Friedman, a professor at Keller Graduate School and a self-employed management consultant, brought a nancial background while Loy, a general contractor by trade, had an edge when it came to construction. Both nances and facilities are hot topics for the board as it prepares for a nancial shortfall while also managing millions in bond funds to update district properties. I believe Marc is the best candidate. He does have the experience and brings an additional nance brain to the board, said Trustee Linda Lees Dwyer. Lees Dwyer, who previously served with Friedman on the Burlingame school board, also noted Friedman had a dedication to all children.

oven to teach him about its dangers but the child squirmed out of his grasp. But defense attorney Mara Feiger said Colver was pushed into the story by Daly City police Detective Ron Harrison who was working on faulty conclusions by child abuse expert Dr. John Stirling. Colver, who Feiger said was sleeping while his child apparently crawled into the oven himself, was also told by his girlfriend that any explanation is better than no explanation. The combination was, she said, a perfect storm for a false confession. Feiger agreed the boys burns looked suspicious and that doctors were right to question their origin. However, she said that is the beginning of an inquiry, not a conclusion and that the dynamic duo of Harrison and child abuse expert Dr. John Stirling made up their minds regardless of the evidence. Stirling, a pediatrician, agreed with two other doctors who examined the child that the multi-directional burns on both legs coupled with a lack of injury to his hands and feet show the trauma was not accidental. They came to that con-

stove. Colver allegedly lifted the child inside the oven, where he slipped, and called the boys mother to come home. Colver showed his guilty conscious by not calling 911, sitting in the hospital parking lot while his girlfriend took the boy inside, not speaking with emergency room staff or ever asking police about his sons condition, Chang said. But Feiger said while these things might make Colver a bad father or a young man who made bad decisions, they do not prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. She asked jurors not to validate authorities insistence on proving their theory and asked how they would feel if they were the ones being wrongfully accused by these individuals of wrongdoing. Feiger, who cried at the end of her arguments, told jurors not to let two people Harrison and Stirling ruin someones life with their accusations and said the boys injuries were not his fathers fault. There are lots of accidents that happen to children that dont involve criminality, Feiger said. Colver is free from custody on $100,000 bail.

The citys plans are still in the infancy stage with planning meetings with local businesses in the works, but the decision makes the path forward clearer, said Assistant City Manager Brian Moura. Belmont and Foster City are also looking at bans. South San Francisco worked around the legal question with a voluntary ban which lets businesses charge customers 5 cents to 10 cents to cover the cost of the single-use bag. The council set a six-month timeline to discuss an outright ban. Councilwoman Karyl Matsumoto did not return a call for comment on how the court ruling may or may not speed up that process. Canepa thinks the decision will denitely affect Daly Citys quest and would be

Likewise, she anticipates a ramp-up period in which businesses can use up their existing inventory. The county followed the same process in its polystyrene ban. But while the cities and county were lauding the court decision, the group that sued Manhattan Beach also cheered because it interpreted the ruling differently. The courts nding that the city of Manhattan Beach , with a population of 40,000, was too small to require an EIR means that larger cities and counties can still be mandated, according to a prepared statement by advocacy group Save the Plastic Bag Coalition. The situation in 2008 is different now and the shift to paper bags by smaller cities has a cumulative impact that should require an EIR, said coalition attorney Stephen Joseph in a prepared statement.
