DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Gregory Leon Elarms, the previously com-
mitted man accused of fatally shooting his
childhood friend at a San Mateo shopping
center because he thought the community
activist was out to get him, cannot have a new
attorney to contest his competency to stand
trial.
A judge Friday denied Elarms request to
re his court-appointed attorney, Jonathan
McDougall, who was named to the case after
the 59-year-old man returned from Napa State
Hospital.
McDougall previously contested the doc-
tors conclusions Elarms is now able to aid in
his own defense and that
hearing remains set for
Aug. 20.
Elarms faces life in
prison without parole on
charges of first-degree
murder and gun use plus
the special allegation of
lying in wait for the June
9, 2010 death of East Palo
Alto activist David Lewis.
Elarms, of the East Bay city of Pittsburg, is
accused of following Lewis, 54, from the San
Mateo Medical Center where he was an out-
reach worker to the parking lot of Hillsdale
Shopping Center on June 9, 2010. Just before
6 p.m., Elarms allegedly pulled a .44-caliber
gun and shot Lewis in the torso.
During a preliminary hearing on the murder
and gun charges, a San Mateo police detective
testied that Elarms believed gangmembers
were after him and that Lewis, once his friend,
was now his opponent. Lewis uttered the
name Greg before dying but police made no
arrests until contacted by Elarms six months
after the shooting.
Lewis was known as a community activist
and rehabilitation counselor who overcame
addiction and incarceration.
Elarms remains in custody without bail.
Accused killer of activist denied new attorney

One of four alleged gangmembers charged
in the repeated stabbing of a man in Redwood
City is mentally t to aid in his defense
against charges of attempted murder.
Bryan Alexander Morales, 19, is also
charged with being an accessory to a felony
and acting to further a street gang. Co-defen-
dants Jose Antonio Jiminez-Hernandez, 20,
Billi Ruben Antonio, 19, and Jose Luis
Segurasuarez, 20, are similarly charged.
But while the other three have been moving
toward a July 30 trial, Morales defense attor-
ney had questioned his clients competency
and had the case severed. Both court-appoint-
ed doctors who evaluated Morales concluded
he is competent and criminal proceedings
were reinstated. Morales returns to court July
23 to set a new trial date.
According to prosecutors, the four teens and
a 16-year-old boy stabbed the victim several
times in the abdomen at approximately 4:30
p.m. Dec. 13 on the 800 block of Brewster
Avenue. Witnesses reported seeing two males
jump out of a gold car, stab the man and ee
the area. Police located a car matching the
vehicle description at a home in the 2600
block of Marlborough Avenue and ultimately
arrested the three teens inside based on their
statements.
The victim was hospitalized with critical
injuries.
All four remain in custody without bail.

SACRAMENTO The director
of Californias state parks resigned
and a deputy was red Friday after
ofcials learned the department sat
on nearly $54 million in surplus
money for years while parks were
threatened with closure over budget
cuts.
Ruth Coleman, director of the
state Department of Parks and
Recreation, stepped down, and
chief deputy Michael Harris was let
go amid questions about the under-
reported funds that date back 12
years, according to Clark
Blanchard, a
spokesman for
the secretary of
the Natural
R e s o u r c e s
Agency, which
oversees the
parks depart-
ment.
This is in
light of the fund
balances that just in the last 48
hours have come to light,
Blanchard said Friday. This money
is obviously one-time money and
we will be working with the
Legislature to see how to best use
it.
The attorney generals ofce is
investigating and state nance of-
cials will conduct an audit,
Blanchard said.
Coleman said she was unaware of
the surplus but accepted responsi-
bility for the accounting problem.
I am personally appalled to learn
that our documents were not accu-
rate, she wrote in her resignation
letter released by the governors
ofce.
The shake-up comes at a time
when state lawmakers and park
advocates have been trying to nd
ways to keep most parks open
despite ongoing budget cuts. Last
month, park officials announced
most of the 70 state parks once slat-
ed to close would remain open.
State parks director resigns amid scandal
A San Mateo woman who has
received welfare and food stamps
for nearly a dozen years was earning
$2,000 a month and living with her
childs father but lied on her annual
benet renewal statements, accord-
ing to prosecutors who charged her
with felony welfare fraud.
Sarah Ramirez, 43, pleaded no
contest to the charge in return for no
more than seven months jail when
she is sentenced Sept. 13.
Between March 27, 2007 and
Sept., 30, 2010, prosecutors alleged
Ramirez perjured herself by ling
statements claiming that the father
of her child was gone and she had
nobody living with her. Instead, she
reportedly lived
with that man
since 2006 and
also rented a
room to another
for $200 month-
ly. She also
r e p o r t e d l y
earned $2,000
per month.
Ramirez had
been on CalWorks and food stamps
since December 1990, according to
the District Attorneys Ofce.
Prosecutors also say investigators
interviewed Ramirez and concluded
she knew what she was doing to
maintain her benets.
Ramirez remains free from cus-
tody on $25,000 bail.

DENVER James Eagen
Holmes came from a well-tended
San Diego enclave of two-story
homes with red-tiled roofs, where
neighbors recall him as a clean-cut,
studious young man of sparing
words.
Tall and dark-haired, he stared
clear-eyed at the camera in a 2004
high school yearbook snapshot,
wearing a white junior varsity soc-
cer uniform No. 16. The son of
a nurse, Arlene, and a software
company manager, Robert, James
Holmes was a brilliant science
scholar in college.
The biggest mystery surrounding
the 24-year-old doctoral student
was why he would have pulled on a
gas mask and shot dozens of peo-
ple early Friday in a suburban
Denver movie theater, as police
allege.
In the age of widespread social
media, no trace of Holmes could be
found on Facebook, LinkedIn,
MySpace, Twitter or anywhere on
the Web. Either he never engaged
or he scrubbed his trail.
A longtime neighbor in San
Diego, where Holmes grew up,
remembers only a shy guy ... a
loner from a churchgoing family.
In addition to playing soccer at
Westview High School, he ran
cross country.
The bookish
demeanor con-
cealed an
unspooling life.
Holmes strug-
gled to find
work after grad-
uating with
highest honors
in spring 2010
with a neuro-
science degree from the University
of California, Riverside, said the
neighbor, retired electrical engi-
neer Tom Mai.
Holmes enrolled last year in a
neuroscience Ph.D. program at the
University of Colorado-Denver but
left the program in June, said
school officials, who didnt pro-
vide a reason.
As part of the advanced program
in Denver, a James Holmes had
been listed as making a presenta-
tion in May about Micro DNA
Biomarkers in a class named
Biological Basis of Psychiatric
and Neurological Disorders.
In academic achievement, he
was at the top of the top, recalled
Riverside Chancellor Timothy P.
White.
Holmes concentrated his study
on how we all behave, White
added. Its ironic and sad.
From a distance, Holmes life
appears unblemished, a young man
with unlimited potential. There are
no indications he had problems
with police.
Colorado suspect was brilliant student
REUTERS
People pray during a vigil for victims behind the theater where a gunman
opened re on moviegoers in Aurora, Colo.
James Holmes
Q: WHATHAPPENED?
A: Shortly after midnight Friday, a gunman
wearing a gas mask and black SWAT gear set off
a gas canister and then opened re inside a
crowded theater in the Denver suburb of Aurora,
Colo., killing 12 people and wounding nearly 60
others, authorities said.The suspect was arrested
near a car behind the theater and identied as
24-year-old James Holmes. Authorities did not
release a motive. The FBI said there was no
indication of ties to any terrorist groups.
Q: AREMOVIETHEATERSSTILLSHOWINGTHE
FILM?
A: Yes, though theaters and police increased
security and AMC Theaters, the nations second-
largest chain, barred customers from wearing
masks or costumes. Some fans were nervous
about going to see the lm, but many were
undeterred.
Two police ofcers were stationed outside the
AMC theater in New Yorks Times Square, which
hadshowingsbeginningevery20minutesFriday.
Later in the day, the ofcers gave way to a police
cruiser that was parked out front with an ofcer
in it. At the Regal Gallery Place multiplex in
downtown Washington, theater employees
searched patrons bags and purses while taking
their tickets.
Q: WHOWASHURTINTHETHEATER?
A: Many victims treated at hospitals were under
40,including a 4-month-old baby and 6-year-old.
The oldest reported patient was 45.
Victims were treated for chemical exposure,
apparently related to canisters thrown by the
gunman, and gunshot and shrapnel wounds.
Eleven remain in critical condition.
The Defense Department said two sailors and an
airman were wounded and one sailor was
unaccounted for in the shooting.
Q: WAS THERE ANY LINK BETWEEN THE
SHOOTINGANDTHEMOVIE?
A:Itsunclear.NewYorkCityspolicecommissioner
said he was told the gunman had painted his hair
red and called himself the Joker Batmans
nemesis but Aurora police would not conrm
that.
In The Dark Knight Rises,a masked villain leads
a murderous crew into a packed football stadium
and wages an attack involving guns and
explosives. But violent attacks on the public by
villains are key components of most superhero
movies.
There are general parallels to the shooting,The
Dark Knightand the comic book character.Bruce
Waynes drive to become Batman arose from
witnessing the deaths of his parents at the hands
of small-time criminal who shot and killed them
after they had left a movie theater. The Batman
video game called Arkham City takes place in
an abandoned movie theatre.
Shooting Q&A
The San Mateo Police
Department met with local cinema
management Friday to review safe-
ty procedures and increase security
awareness for this weekend.
We have no reason to believe
that this is [anything] other than
an isolated incident, the San
Mateo Police wrote in a press
release about the Colorado shoot-
ing. However, in an abundance
of caution, we will be increasing
our community police officers in
the downtown cinema area over
the weekend to provide a reassur-
ing presence in order to quell con-
cerns, and ensure there are no
incidents in reaction to this
event.
People are encouraged to call
the San Mateo Police if they see a
crime or suspicious activities at
911 or the non-emergency line
522-7700.

Man arrested after attempting to steal car
Twenty-six-year-old Alejandro Valencia was arrested
Thursday evening after trying to steal a car that was left run-
ning while the owner ran into a convenience store in Belmont,
according to police.
Around 6:30 p.m. Thursday, a San Mateo man stopped at the
7-Eleven store on the 400 block of El Camino Real in
Belmont. He parked the car but left it running while he went
inside. When leaving, the owner of the car saw another man
backing up the vehicle, according to a press release by
Belmont Police.
The two men got into an argument, during which Valencia
was removed from the car. He ran from the scene and was
chased by the victim and a witness, according to police.
Valencia, 26, of Newark was arrested by Belmont Police

to be under the inuence of an illegal drug and in possession
methamphetamine. Both the victim and Valencia were treated
on the scene for non life-threatening injuries. Valencia received
further treatment at the hospital before being booked into the
San Mateo County Jail on charges of auto theft, possession of
methamphetamine and for being under the inuence of a con-
trolled substance, according to police.

On May 4,Serendipity School in Belmont had its third annual Jump Rope for Heart,
fundraiser. The event was put on by the schools teachers: Laurie Cerece, Kim
George and Brian Srabian. The small school was able to raise $13,300 to give to
the American Heart Association.The children were very involved in learning about
heart disease and how the money raised will help others in need. Four of the
schools families raised more than $1,000 each.One child even went door-to-door
in his neighborhood collecting for the cause.

Air Force instructor
convicted of rape, assault
SAN ANTONIO An Air Force instructor
was convicted Friday of rape and sexual
assault in a massive sex
scandal that has rocked a
Texas base, one of the
nations busiest military
training centers.
A seven-person jury of
military personnel at
Lackland Air Force Base
in San Antonio found Staff
Sgt. Luis Walker guilty on
all seven counts he faced,
including rape, aggravated sexual contact and
multiple counts of aggravated sexual assault.
The jury deleted a clause from two counts
that accused Walker of making irtatious and
lewd comments to trainees. However, it upheld
the overall counts containing the deleted claus-
es, which accused him of trying to cultivate a
sexual relationship with two trainees.
Govt acknowledges
one-time surveillance problem
WASHINGTON In a rare move, the
Obama administration acknowledged Friday
that the governments surveillance efforts have
exceeded legal limits on at least one occasion.
The Ofce of the Director of National
Intelligence made the comment in a letter to
Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden.
Wyden is a member of the Senate
Intelligence Committee. The Oregon
Democrat has suggested that the government
may be reviewing the emails and phone calls
of law-abiding Americans in the U.S. who are
at the other end of communications being
monitored abroad by the U.S. government.

WASHINGTON Three years since the
recession ended, 43 states have yet to regain
the jobs they lost in the downturn. The gure
is a reminder of how weak the nations job
market remains.
The states that are the furthest behind in job
growth are those that were hit hardest by the
housing bust: Arizona, Florida and Nevada.
Overall, the U.S. economy has 3.5 percent
fewer jobs than it did before the Great
Recession, which began in December 2007.
The national unemployment rate has been
stuck at 8.2 percent.
As slow as the recovery in jobs has been, a
few states are doing quite well. Seven have
more jobs now than before the recession.
Some North Dakota, Texas and Alaska
are beneting from an oil boom.
But most states have lagged behind.
Except for these energy-producing states,
everywhere theres still this caution in terms
of hiring, Steve Cochrane, a regional econo-
mist at Moodys Analytics, said.
Last month, unemployment rates rose in 27
U.S. states, the most in almost a year.
Unemployment rates fell in 11 states the
fewest since August and were unchanged
in 12, the Labor Department said Friday.
Nevada had the nations highest unemploy-
ment rate in June at 11.6 percent. The state
also had 12.4 percent fewer jobs than before
the recession, the biggest percentage of jobs
lost of any state.
The state is still reeling more than four
years after the housing market went bust.
Nevada had the highest rate of foreclosures
in the nation in the rst half of 2012, accord-
ing to RealtyTrac. In the rst three months of
the year, 61 percent of homeowners were
underwater, or owed more on their mort-
gages then their homes are worth, according
CoreLogic, a real estate data rm. Thats also
the highest share in the nation.
Arizona has also struggled to regain the jobs
it lost, with 8.2 percent fewer in June than
before the recession. Thats the second-
biggest loss. It had the nations second-highest
foreclosure rate in the rst half of the year.
Florida had 7.8 percent fewer jobs in June
than before the recession, the third-biggest
decline.

WASHINGTON Risky lending caused
private student loan debt to balloon in the past
decade, leaving many Americans struggling to
pay off loans that they cant afford, a govern-
ment study says.
Private lenders gave out money without
considering whether borrowers would repay,
then bundled and resold the loans to investors
to avoid losing money when students default-
ed, according to the study released Friday.
Those practices are closely associated with
subprime mortgage lending, which inated
the housing bubble and helped bring about the
2008 nancial crisis.
Subprime-style lending went to college,
and now students are paying the price, said
Education Secretary Arne Duncan, whose
department produced the report with the
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Duncan said the government must do more
to ensure that people who received private
loans enjoy the same protections as those who
borrow from the federal government.
Student loans fall into two main categories:
Loans directly from the government and those
offered by banks and other private nancial
companies. The report focused on private stu-
dent loans, which spiked from $5 billion in
loans originated in 2001 to more than $20 bil-
lion in 2008. After the nancial crisis, as lend-
ing standards tightened, the market shrank to
$6 billion in 2011.
American consumers still owe more than
$150 billion in private student loan debt, the
study said. Including federal loans, Americans
now owe more than $1 trillion in student loan
debt, according to the CFPB. It has surpassed
credit card debt as the biggest source of unse-
cured debt for U.S. consumers.
Private student loans are riskier than federal
loans, the study said. They often carry vari-
able interest rates, which can cause monthly
payments to rise unexpectedly. Federal loans
offer xed interest rates.
In many cases, if a borrower is unable to
repay, federal loans can be postponed or
reduced. Those options are rare for private
loans, the study said.
Students often did not understand the differ-
ence between federal and private loans, the
study said. That caused many to take out cost-
ly student loans when they were eligible for
cheaper, safer government loans.
The study highlights a unique feature of stu-
dent debt: Unlike other credit card balances
and most other debt, it is nearly impossible to
cancel student debt by ling for bankruptcy.
That leaves many borrowers trapped, behind
on loans that lenders are unwilling to modify,
the study said.

OPINION 9
Bigger mess
Editor,
In his column about manufactured
goods sold within the United States,
Paul Krugman never took this calami-
tous practice to the next step. Krugman
wrote that 86 percent of goods manu-
factured in the United States are sold in
the United States, while 14 percent is
exported. That gure is damning
enough but take it one step further. The
jobs big business have outsourced for
the good of their stockholders have
another devastating effect on our econ-
omy. The tens of billions of dollars that
big business pays to other countries in
the form of wages stay in those coun-
tries and are used to purchase products
manufactured in those countries, 14
percent less that may trickle back to the
United States. So not only are we los-
ing jobs to greed, but we are also los-
ing gross national product to big busi-
nesses greed. Then they have the nerve
to keep their money in off-shore
accounts, waiting for a sweetheart tax
deal from the government, just like the
29 percent tax break they got from the
Bush Administration. Big business con-
tinues to use all our infrastructure for
their personal greed but do everything
they can to avoid paying their fare
share to maintain it. Thats what we 99
percenters are for.

Religion of peace at war
Editor,
President Barack Obama may not be
entirely to blame for the meltdown of
the Arab world following his nave
2009 Cairo University speech, but the
timing of subsequent events seem more
than coincidental. After he extolled the
alleged virtues of the Muslim world
and its purported contributions to mod-
ern civilization, the Muslim world pro-
vided a graphic demonstration of the
opposite. Syria is currently on center
stage. Before Syrias upheaval, Egypt
and Libya went through their own
paroxysms. But Western-educated Dr.
Bashar al-Assad set new standards for
barbarism against his own people,
which proves that education wont nec-
essarily civilize a person.
Assad, an Alawite Muslim, has
apparently not yet used poison gas or
nerve agents in his bid to crush the
Syrian uprising. But hes used just
about every other weapon he has. Now,
his archenemy, Israel, is concerned
that, if Assad feels he is going down,
he will re every missile in his arsenal
at its population centers just because he
can. The tiptoeing around the truth in
deference to Muslim sensibilities has
been counterproductive. People without
self-respect will do heinous things to
each other. They will certainly not be
nicer to those whose religion tells them
are inferior dhimmis. Maybe now
thoughtful people will acknowledge
that Islam can no longer be sold as a
religion of peace. Given the chance it
will erase and rewrite the history of the
world. We may not yet be at war with
it, but it is at war with us.

Letters to the editor
By Steve Okamoto
A
s a parent, my goal was to
keep my children safe. Many
of you are parents as well and
also share my desire for child safety.
Whenever possible, we keep an eye
on our kids to be sure they are involved
in safe activities. However, there are
times when you have to entrust the
safety of your kids to others.
One of those times is when they are
in school and, specically, when they
are walking too and from school.
During those times, we count on our
school crossing guards to see that our
kids cross safely on those busy streets,
especially during the morning com-
mute.
Those school crossing guards are
hired, supervised and paid by the
school district. Because of the nancial
constraints of the state budget and the
amounts allocated to the schools, the
Foster City-San Mateo School District
has asked the city to lend assistance by
funding the cost of the crossing guard
expense.
At a recent City Council meeting, the
Council, aware of the need for the safe-
ty of our kids through the crossing
guard program, appropriated the neces-
sary funds so that the school district
could hire those crossing guards for the
upcoming school year.
Discussions for the
nancing of the
guards have been a
subject of delibera-
tion with the two
sub-committees of
the school district
and the city for the
past several months.
It was decided that
the sub-committee would embark on a
fundraising campaign and try to raise
funds to reimburse the city for their
recent budget allocation. The funds
would be raised through the Foster City
Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization.
The fundraising campaign would tar-
get the Foster City community. If you
feel that child safety is a priority and
you would like to contribute to the
campaign, please send a donation to the
Foster City Foundation, 610 Foster City
Blvd., Foster City, CA 94404. Some
businesses have already expressed a
desire to support the program and I
hope they will step forward with a
check.
Finally, in an earlier article, I dis-
cussed how the success of the test
scores of our four schools has resulted
in a large inux of school age kids
moving into town. This has resulted in
an overcrowding of our already maxed
out schools and the demographers have
predicted even more classrooms with be
needed in the next couple of years.
The Superintendent, with the aid of
the city, has convened a committee of
concerned citizens (SCORE) to study
the overcrowding issue. Several meet-
ings have been held at the district ofce
with many ideas submitted and dis-
cussed.
I have been attending each of these
meeting and am truly impressed with
the sincerity and concern that these
committee members have shown to try
and come up with a solution to this
overcrowding problem.
The nal meetings will be held in
July, with a recommendation to the dis-
trict due in early August. Stay tuned for
more details.
If you have any questions or concerns
about the school crossing guards or the
SCORE committee, please let me
know. I can be reached by phone at
286-3501 or by email at
sokamoto@fostercity.org.

Keeping our kids safe
Parks officials evaded
rules, insulted public
The Sacramento Bee
T
he California state parks system as state gov-
ernment itself is in deep budget trouble. Yet
that did not stop the head of one division within
the state parks system administrative services, which
handles accounting and personnel functions from
hatching a scheme to give himself and 55 managers
immediate cash payouts for their unused vacation time.
This gaming of the system, by the very people who
handle money transactions, came at a time when the
state parks system was announcing the closure of 70
state parks and nonprofit organizations were striving to
raise private funds to keep parks open. That $271,000
could have helped keep parks running.
This betrayal, detailed in a November 2011 internal
audit and an April state attorney generals investigation
and reported by The Sacramento Bees Matt Weiser
is despicable. While names have been redacted,
details make it clear that the ringleader was Manuel
Thomas Lopez, who was deputy director of administra-
tive services. But he was not alone. Others were com-
plicit in the outrage.
These people deserve public censure not redacted
names in a report. They should be terminated, with let-
ters in their files so they cant return as retired annui-
tants to state service. Those who falsified documents
should be prosecuted.
Let us be clear. This scandal reveals not just corrup-
tion by individuals but problems with the states vaca-
tion leave system.
California state government does not have a use it or
lose it system, as in the private sector. State employees
are allowed to bank unlimited vacation hours and to
cash them out when they retire. When employees come
close to 80 days worth of unused vacation, or 640
hours, managers are supposed to create a plan for the
employee to burn the balance before the next year,
according to the state employee handbook.
But many employees are well over the 80-day, 640-
hour guideline, which creates a big liability for the state
when people retire.
So on rare occasions, in flush budget times, the state
will authorize a limited statewide leave buyback for all
departments to reduce the states future liability. The
last one was in March 2007, before the economic col-
lapse. Such buybacks do not happen during economic
hard times.
That makes the crafty stratagem dreamed up in the
administrative services division all the more offensive.
According to the audit and investigation, the ringleaders
justified a buyback because of an expected budget sur-
plus. What planet were they on?
This came at a time when executive staff in the state
parks system, according to the investigation, agreed that
although extensive leave balances were worrisome as a
future liability to the department, it was not politically
feasible to do any kind of buyback because of the dire
situation which the department faced, including park
closures.
To get around this, the schemers coded vacation hours
as overtime to get checks from the state controllers
office and cover their tracks.
The plan was hatched in June 2011. By fall, rumors of
the buyback were flying. By Oct. 19, Lopez had been
relieved of his position and an internal audit was
launched. Others have been demoted or are retiring.
The state is putting better controls in place to police
unused vacation buybacks, but state officials would do
better to thoroughly re-examine vacation policies
with the aim of establishing a use it or lose it policy,
providing less opportunity for unscrupulous characters
to exploit a complicated system.
No doubt, those who have resisted changes in the
state parks department public-private partnerships
and routes other than law-enforcement rangers to
become superintendents, for example will use the
scandal to unfairly undermine state parks director Ruth
Coleman, who has served since 2002. In fact, employ-
ees blew the whistle, and leaders took quick personnel
action.
The individuals involved in the scam did more than
deprive the state parks system of $271,000 when it des-
perately needed every dime to keep parks open. They
besmirched public service at a time when public trust is
needed.

NEW YORK For the past few
days, the U.S. stock market was able to
forget about problems in Europe.
Friday put Europe squarely back in the
spotlight.
U.S. stocks fell sharply as escalating
problems in Spain jolted investors.
Spains stock market plunged 6 percent
and its borrowing costs spiked after a
regional government asked for a nan-
cial lifeline.
The drop on Wall Street, which sent
the Dow Jones industrial average down
as much as 133 points, marked a U-turn
for the market. Stocks had risen over the
past three days as investors focused on
healthy earnings from U.S. companies
like Mattel, Honeywell and Coca-Cola.
On Friday, talk of sluggishness in
Europe was prevalent as more compa-
nies turned in their quarterly results.
Stafng agency Manpower fell 6 per-
cent, to $33.46, and chip maker
Advanced Micro Devices fell 13 per-
cent, to $4.22, after reporting that weak
demand in Europe had dragged down
second-quarter revenue.
Xerox trimmed its earnings forecasts
as Europeans bought less equipment.
Ingersoll-Rand, whose products include
Trane air conditioners, cut its revenue
prediction for the same reason. Xerox
fell 49 cents to $6.70, and Ingersoll-
Rand lost $1.22 to $40.25.
Late Thursday, guitar maker Fender
abruptly canceled its plans to go public,
blaming current market conditions and
concerns about economic conditions in
Europe. And General Electric, though
its stock edged up 7 cents to $19.87,
noted Friday that its orders also fell in
Europe.
We prepared ourselves for a pretty
tough year this year, or certainly a
volatile year, CEO Jeff Immelt said in a
call with analysts. We havent been dis-
appointed. GEs nance ofcer, Keith
Sherin, said the company is making a
full-court press to reduce exposure to
Europe.
Even the Internet powerhouse Google
noted that growth in Southern Europe
had slowed, particularly in Spain. But
Google also reported higher revenue and
prot, and its stock rose $17.76, to
$610.82.
All the major U.S. stock indexes fell.
The Dow Jones industrial average
dropped 120.79 points to 12,822.57. The
Standard & Poors 500 fell 13.85 to
1,362.66. The Nasdaq composite index
lost 40.60 to 2,925.30. All three indica-
tors were down about 1 percent. They
eked out tiny gains for the week and are
about at for the month to date.
Market cant get ahead
Wall Street
Stocks that moved substantially or traded
heavily Friday on the New York Stock Exchange
and Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc., down $86.88 at
$316.98
The restaurant chain said that its net income
rose more than 61 percent in the second
quarter, but its revenue growth missed
expectations.
Dole Food Co. Inc., up $1.32 at $10.15
The fruit and vegetable company said that it is
considering a possible sale or a spin-off of its
packaged foods business.
ManpowerGroup, down $2.24 at $33.46
Market volatility, particularly in Europe, and a
stronger dollar weighed on the stafng
companys results in the second quarter.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc.,down 64 cents at
$4.22
The chipmaker said that a weak global
economy dragged down its second-quarter
results and hurt its performance through the
summer.
Xerox Corp., down 49 cents at $6.70
Due to weak economic conditions, especially
in Europe, the technology company said that
its second-quarter prot fell 3.1 percent.
Nasdaq
E-Trade Financial Corp.,down 43 cents at $7.39
The online broker reported a 16 percent decline
in second-quarter earnings as investors made
far fewer trades than a year ago.
SanDisk Corp., up $3.62 at $38.70
The chipmaker said that its net income fell in
the second quarter as the company sold fewer
memory chips to mobile device makers.
Rambus Inc., down 92 cents at $4.30
The memory-chip designer said that its net loss
in the second quarter widened to $32.2 million
on weaker revenue from contracts.
Big movers
By Barbara Ortutay
NEW YORK Investors showed
their appetite for freshly public technol-
ogy stocks on Friday, but a decidedly
old-school company Fender
Instruments bowed out of its planned
initial public offering citing market con-
ditions.
Analysts were quick to isolate the gui-
tar maker as a solo act, out of tune with
the broader IPO market. The rest of the
bunch did well, after all. The stock of
security software company Palo Alto
Networks popped 27 percent in its mar-
ket debut. The stock of Kayak, the trav-
el-booking website jumped 28 percent.
So much for the Facebook freeze.
There are eight IPOs scheduled for next
week. Theres a security software maker
from the Netherlands, a high-end steak-
house from Texas and a natural-food
grocery store chain from Lakewood,
Colo., among others. The diversity of
companies taking the plunge, along with
their sheer number during the usually
slow summer season, shows that the
market for initial public offerings is in
the midst of a rebound after a lull that
followed Facebooks mid-May debut.
Yes, the IPO market is back, for the
time being, said Francis Gaskins, presi-
dent of researcher IPOdesktop. Though
the companies going public are small,
they also hail from various industries,
which is a good sign for the IPO market
as well as the broader economy. It means
the market is not dependent on just one
sector doing well. That was an issue last
year, when a slew of high-profile
Internet companies focused on social
networking went public. Several
including Groupon and Zynga
opped despite the hype.
Now, investors are looking for compa-
nies that have proven they can grow.
At best, this economy is at, and its
hard to find growth opportunities,
Gaskins said. He added that both Kayak
Software Corp. and Palo Alto Networks
Inc. are growing their revenue and doing
well in spite of the economy.
There are a few companies that t that
criteria. And the ones that do get demand,
he said. Tech stocks are the ones that are
showing consecutive quarterly growth and
good gross (prot) margins.
Facebook, of course began trading
May 18, the Friday that capped the worst
week for the U.S. stock market this year.
After months of hoopla, the social net-
work saw its stock land with a thud. It is
now trading 24 percent below its $38
IPO price. After Facebook, the IPO mar-
ket was frozen for ve weeks. It began to
thaw in the last week of June when nat-
ural gas company EQT Midstream
Partners went public on the 26th.

NEW YORK Apple Inc. is expected
to report a healthy increase in earnings
and revenue for its scal third quarter on
Tuesday, but investors are already look-
ing ahead to the big event of the year: the
launch of a new iPhone model.
The latest iPhone model, the 4S, was
launched last year and is getting long in
the tooth. Analysts expect that Apple
shipments to have dipped substantially in
the just-ended quarter.
Brian White at Topeka Capital Markets
expects Apple to report selling 30.9 mil-
lion units, while Andy Hargreaves at
Pacic Crest expects it to report selling
25.4 million. In the second quarter,
Apple shipped 35 million.
The trend in iPads is expected to be
stronger, since Apple launched the latest
model just two weeks before the start of
the quarter. White expects it to have
shipped 15.9 million units, which would
be a record, while Hargreaves expects it
to have shipped 14.3 million. That would
beat the second quarter but not the holi-
day-fueled rst quarter.
The company doesnt announce new
products on its nancial conference calls,
but analysts are sure to probe executives
for clues as to how fast the company can
ramp production of the iPhone 5.
We expect the product to be supply
constrained for several months, which sug-
gests that component supply and produc-
tion capacity are likely to dictate Apples
(October to March) earnings power and
the direction of its stock, Hargreaves
wrote. The iPhone 5 is expected to be able
to use the fastest new wireless data net-
works operated by Verizon, AT&T and
Sprint. Theres also speculation that it
could have a slightly larger screen.
Apple launched new MacBooks in the
quarter, including a high-end model with
a super-high-resolution screen. In the
second quarter, Macs accounted for 13
percent of Apples revenue, compared to
17 percent for iPads and 58 percent for
iPhones.
Apple to report third quarter results
NEW YORK Shares of security
software company Palo Alto Networks
Inc. are shooting higher in their rst day
of trading on the New York Stock
Exchange Friday.
The Santa Clara company is going
public as the market for IPOs comes
back to life following a ve-week freeze.
Demand for shares of newly public com-
panies had collapsed as worries about
slowing global growth and sliding stock
markets exacerbated disappointment fol-
lowing Facebooks IPO in May.
But not every company is making it to
market. Fender, maker of guitars played
by Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, called
off its IPO Thursday night. The compa-
ny blamed poor market conditions and
the weakening economy in Europe.
Palo Alto Networks and its sharehold-
ers raised $260.4 million in its initial
public offering of stock Thursday night.
The companys shares priced at $42
each, above the expected range of $38
and $40 per share. That indicates
investor demand was heavy.
Palo Alto Networks up in first day trading on NYSE
Venture funding falls 12 percent in 2Q to $7B
NEW YORK Funding for startups fell 12 percent
in the April-June period as venture capitalists poured
less money into fewer deals than a year earlier. But the
number of companies getting funded in the earliest
stages of development reached the highest level in more
than a decade a hopeful sign for the broader economy
and an indication that investors are willing to wait for
returns.
A report due out Friday says that startup investments
slipped to $7 billion in the second quarter, down from $8
billion in the same period a year earlier. The companies
getting funded were mainly in the software, Internet,
industrial, and energy sectors. There were 898 deals
completed during the quarter, down 15 percent from
1,057 a year earlier.
The MoneyTree study was conducted by
PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture
Capital Association based on data from Thomson
Reuters. The study tracked four stages of venture capital
funding. Depending on how far along companies are in
development, they received either seed, early,
expansion or later-stage funding.
S&P downgrades debt rating on Campbell
SAN FRANCISCO Standard & Poors Ratings
Services lowered its debt ratings on Camden, N.J.-based
Campbell Soup Co. Friday following a recent acquisi-
tion.
The rating agency put the food maker on review for
downgrade in July after it announced that it was buying
natural-food maker Bolthouse Farms for $1.55 billion.
S&P lowered Campbells rating one notch to BBB+
from A-, leaving it in investment grade territory. The
companys A-2 short-term and commercial paper rat-
ings remain unchanged. The outlook is stable.
Campbell is paying for the acquisition primarily by
taking on new debt, and S&P said that it expected the
added debt will weaken the companys credit measures.
Campbell shares fell 39 cents to close at $33.19.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. Miami coach Al
Goldens second season at the school is beginning
much like his rst one, with new accusations of
rule breaking, the looming threat of serious
NCAA sanctions and no apparent end in sight for
the long probe into the Hurricanes compliance
practices.
Citing unidentied sources, Yahoo Sports
reported Friday that former Miami football
employee Sean Allen who has been linked to
one-time booster and now convicted Ponzi
scheme architect Nevin Shapiro through the
improper-benets scandal that broke last year
assisted members of Goldens coaching staff with
recruiting.
If true, that could be a major NCAA violation
by the troubled program, despite Goldens repeat-
ed insistence that he wants to get it xed.
Earlier Friday, two people with knowledge of
the situation told The Associated Press that NCAA
investigators visited Miami for several days earli-
er this month, just the latest round of the lengthy
inquiry into the Hurricanes athletic department.
The people spoke to the AP on condition of
anonymity because information about the probe
has not been publicly released. Shapiros claims
that he provided dozens of Miami athletes and
recruits with extra benets over an eight-year span
were published by Yahoo Sports last August.
The university did not have immediate com-
ment Friday.
Golden is scheduled to discuss the coming sea-
son at the Atlantic Coast Conference media days
in North Carolina early next week.

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England Brandt
Snedeker plays fast and talks even faster, and he
was on a roll Friday in the British Open. He
raced up the leaderboard with ve birdies in a
seven-hole stretch, tied the 36-hole record for a
major championship and looked like he was bent
on running away from the eld at Royal Lytham
& St. Annes.
Not so fast.
Along came Adam Scott,
playing cautiously and pick-
ing his spots for three
birdies on the back nine to
pull within one shot. Not far
behind was Tiger Woods,
sticking to a conservative
game plan and delivering a
dramatic nish by holing out from the bunker to
set off a wild cheer from 6,000 spectators
crammed into the bleachers.
As the second round ended, this Open was just
getting started.
On another benign day when the only concern
was pools forming in the bottom of pot bunkers
from overnight rain, Snedeker became the latest
player to match the course record at Royal
Lytham with a 6-under 64 that gave him a one-
shot lead.
He has yet to make a bogey over 36 holes, the
rst player to go bogey-free in the opening two
rounds of a major since Woods won at St.
Andrews in 2000. Snedekers 10-under 130 tied
the 36-hole record set by Nick Faldo in 1992
when he won the Open at Muireld, and it broke
by four shots the 36-hole record at Lytham.

Things are coming together quite nicely for
the San Bruno Storm 14-under softball team.
With a trip to the Western National
Tournament in Fort Collins, Co. just around
the corner, the team with an already impres-
sive 25-5 summer record is really hitting their
stride according to manager Manuel Cotla.
And perhaps the most promising part is that
the Storm is accomplishing this with a rela-
tively new crop of players.
We have a lot of newer girls, Cotla said.
We had a lot of girls who went up a level so
we have a lot of new faces. But we can see the
growth in them as the summer goes on. I think
were peaking at the right time so we should
do very well up there.
National tournament play begins July 30
with 40 or so powerhouse teams convening in
Colorado. The Storm is preparing by upping
their practice time and heading to Rohert Park
this weekend for their nal tuneup.
I think the girls weve gotten who havent
played on a travel team as much are really
shining, Cotla said. Its made our team bet-
ter because theyre trying extra hard, because
its their rst time. I think its denitely helped
us this year although we had a very sharp team
last year, that the new girls are really tting in
good.

Oaklands Yoenis Cespedes steals second during the As 3-2 win over New York. Cespedes scored the winning run onBrandon Moss RBI
single in the bottom of the ninth.
By Josh Dubow
OAKLAND Brandon Moss hit a game-
ending RBI single with one out in the ninth
inning to give Oakland another dose of late-
inning dramatics as the Athletics beat the New
York Yankees 3-2 on Friday night for their
seventh win in eight games.
Yoenis Cespedes singled with one out in the
ninth off Cody Eppley (0-1) for his fourth hit
of the game and went to second on Jonny
Gomes ineld hit. Moss, who left the bases
loaded twice earlier in the game, lined a single
to right eld and Cespedes slid in safely ahead
of Andruw Jones throw.
That gave Oakland its 10th walk-off win of
the season and seventh in its past 14 home
games, bailing out All-Star closer Ryan Cook
(4-2), who allowed a game-tying homer to
Robinson Cano in the top of the ninth.
The Yankees were completely silenced by
Oakland rookie Tommy Milone, who struck
out a career-high 10 batters in seven scoreless
innings as the As took a 2-0 lead.
But Oakland failed to build on the single
runs scored in the third and fourth inning,
squandering numerous scoring chances. The
As left the bases loaded in the rst and sev-
enth inning with Moss making the nal out
both times and stranded 12 runners over the
rst eight innings.
That helped the Yankees tie the game with a
solo homer by Russell Martin off Jerry

PHILADELPHIA Brandon Crawford hit
a grand slam and drove in ve runs, Tim
Lincecum threw seven sharp innings and the
NL West-leading San Francisco Giants beat
the Philadelphia Phillies 7-2 on Friday night.
Ryan Howard hit a solo homer for the last-
place Phillies, who have lost two in a row after
winning four straight.
Lincecum (4-10) looked
more like the pitcher who
was a two-time Cy Young
Award winner than the one
who entered the game with
a 5.93 ERA. He allowed
two runs and five hits,
striking out six.
Phillies starter Vance
Worley (5-6) gave up six
runs and six hits in six
innings, striking out nine.
The Giants broke it open with ve runs in
the sixth.
Ryan Theriot led off with a single, Melky
Cabrera singled and Buster Posey walked to
load the bases. Pablo Sandovals sacrice y
made it 2-1. Nate Schierholtz walked to re-
load the bases. Worley stayed in despite hav-
ing already thrown 105 pitches. Crawford
ripped the second pitch he saw out to right for
his second career slam to put the Giants up 6-
1.
Howard drove one out to almost straight-
away center to get the Phillies within 6-2 in
the bottom half. It was Howards second
homer in 25 at-bats since returning after miss-
ing the rst 84 games.
Crawfords RBI single off Jeremy Horst in
the eighth made it 7-2.
A balk by Lincecum forced in Shane
Victorino to give the Phillies a 1-0 lead in the
fourth. Victorino and Chase Utley hit consec-
utive hard singles to start the inning. After the
balk, Lincecum worked out of a bases-loaded
jam, retiring Placido Polanco on a bouncer to
third.
The Giants tied it at 1 on Eli Whitesides
two-out RBI double to deep right in the fth.
Lincecum has consecutive quality starts for
just the second time this season. He got a no-
decision in San Franciscos 3-2 extra-inning
win over Houston last Saturday when he
tossed eight scoreless innings.
Notes: The switch-hitting Crawford was in
a 1-for-20 slump against right-handers before
taking Worley deep. ... The Phillies are an NL-
worst 17-28 at home. ... The Giants are 19-13
in the opener of a series this season, including
10-1 in their last 11. ... Howard is 6-for-28
with four homers off Lincecum. ... The
Phillies had their 265th straight sellout,
including postseason. ... RHP Matt Cain (10-
3, 2.56) faces LHP Cole Hamels (11-4, 3.07)
in a matchup of All-Stars on Saturday after-
noon. San Francisco gave Cain the contract
Hamels is using as a barometer for the deal
hes seeking from the Phillies before he reach-
es free agency after the season.

Being the third best team in Northern
California isnt too shabby.
And its for that reason the Babe Ruth Bel-
Mateo 15-Under team can hold their heads high
after a summer of baseball that ended after a
loss to Tri-Valley at the states NorCal tourna-
ment.
Its a very short season, said Bel-Mateo
manager Chris Hammond. We were together
just about one month, but the team grew a lot as
individuals and as a team. And thats all we can
ask for. They represented Babe Ruth and Bel-
Mateo extremely well.
Sure, theres a bit of disappointment consider-
ing the NorCal tournament began with a pair of
big wins against Vallejo and Ukiah games
where Bel-Mateo scored 29 runs.
But against Sonoma, Bel-Mateo lost that
offensive feeling.
Our bats just fell at at the wrong time,
Hammond said. Combined with a couple of
physical errors, that opened the door [for
Sonoma]. We competed, it was a tight ball game
into the fth and then the ood gates kind of
opened when we were short on pitching at the
end. The boys were still into it and honestly, our
roster got shortened. We lost two pitchers and
our starting catcher because of school commit-
ments.
Sonoma jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead,
fueled by an early walk and error. But Bel-
Mateo jumped right back into the game in sup-
port of Spencer Larsen by scoring three runs to
take the lead. Unfortunately for Bel-Mateo, after
Larsen was removed from the game, the wheels
completely fell off.
Our defense came up short, Hammond said.
To make matters worse, the loss set up a do-
or-die game against the two-time defending
champion in Tri-Valley.
Morgan Monashefsky kept Bel-Mateo in the
game early on, but the reigning champions
pulled away in the fth and went up 6-1. It then
scored seven more in the sixth inning against a
depleted Bel-Mateo roster.
Hammond said Larsen and Monashefsky
took their games to another level for Bel-Mateo
during the summer.
Spencer Larsen really stepped up as our No.
1, Hammond said. He showed that he could
compete at a very high level. Morgan
Monashefsky gave his team a chance to com-
pete. We had great contributions from Mitchell
Wright, Isaiah Todd-Fitzhugh who was a
strength in the 3-hole, and players like Zack
Pace who batted ninth for most of the summer,
but was in the lineup every day.
Hammond said the game against Tri-Valley
got chippy, with several hit batsmen as the con-
test got into its latter stages. With hitters being
plunked left and right, plus some choice words
by the opposing manager, Bel-Mateo kept their
cool so much so that they were recognized
after the tournament by the director for their
sportsmanship.
This Bel-Mateo team showed a lot,
Hammond said. Theyre accomplished ball
players. The way they played the game and how
they went about it in all their games, they
showed a lot of pride and represented the com-
munity really well.

want to get into coaching. I know so much
about volleyball. I had played it for so long. I
felt this was something I could do really well.
It was during her rst season of coaching
that Agresti realized she might have a knack
for this coaching thing. Her team didnt win a
championship, but she saw steady improve-
ment throughout the season.
I took some small 12-year-old team. We
started out not winning a game in the rst part
of the season. At the end of the season, we
came around and beat the rst-place team,
Agresti said. That was kind of the start for
me.
It was a taste of validation.
Since then, Agresti has coached at some of
the best volleyball clubs in the Bay Area
including Vision and City Beach. She is cur-
rently the U17 Black coach at Payes Place.
Earlier this month, she helped guide her
Payes Place team to a bronze medal in the
U17 Open Division at the Junior Olympics.
Every player on the oor was a DI player,
Agresti said.
She also spent ve years as the junior varsi-
ty coach at St. Francis, capturing ve straight
WCAL JV titles.
St. Francis was a great experience. They
have great coaches. That was a huge part (of
my coaching training), Agresti said. I think
it was a great learning experience for me.
She took time off from St. Francis following
the 2009 season in order to focus more on her
young family. She knew she would eventually
get back into the high school coaching ranks
she just didnt think it would be so soon.
I thought down the road, more like when
my kids were in school, I would pick up a var-
sity gig. I didnt think it would be this year,
Agresti said. It just worked out. I was
ready to come out of hiding and take this
opportunity on.
I needed a couple days to really think
about it. Obviously family is important and
my kids are still pretty small. I had to think
about it long and hard.
Now that she is committed again to a high
school program, she asks only one thing of
her players leave it all out on the court.
My expectations are all about effort. As
long as these kids come in the gym and give
100 percent, at the end of the day, theyll be
winners in my book.
If they get better, in my eyes, it will be a
successful season, she said. The kids, I real-
ly like them, but you have to get them to buy
in. If they dont believe in what Im teaching,
theres going to be a disconnect. For me in
my coaching career, Ive connected with the
kids.
Carlmont makes honor roll
The American Volleyball Coaches
Association is one of the premiere organiza-
tions that caters to volleyball at the high
school and college levels. When the AVCA
hands out awards, its a big deal.
Friday, the AVCA handed out team academ-
ic awards for the 2011-12 school year and the
Carlmont program was one of 220 girls teams
across the country to receive the honor.
The Scots, with just ve players with varsi-
ty experience, went 12-2 in Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division play and nished with
an overall record of 25-10, advancing to the
Central Coast Section playoff seminals for
the seventh time in eight years.
All while compiling a 3.73 GPA as a team.
Obviously, Im extremely proud of our
girls for the success they continue to have in
their studies, Carlmont coach Chris Crader
said in an email. I certainly enjoy winning
matches and watching our players improve,
but, rst and foremost, as a Carlmont High
School employee, Im very pleased with their
hard work in the classroom and their academ-
ic excellence.
Carlmont was the only school in San Mateo

Even more amazing? Snedeker hasnt hit into any of the 206
bunkers in two days.
No bogeys around here is getting some good breaks and play-
ing some pretty good golf, Snedeker said. My mantra all week
has been to get the ball on the greens as fast as possible. Once Im
on there, I have a pretty good hand for the speed of the greens. Just
going to try and keep doing that over the weekend.
Snedeker has never made the cut in three previous trips to the
British Open, though this brand of golf is nothing new. As a rook-
ie on the PGA Tour in 2007, he was 10 under through 10 holes on
the North Course at Torrey Pines before having to settle for a 61.
He picked up his third win there this year by rallying from a
seven-shot decit on the last day.
Brandt is a momentum-type guy, once he gets going and start-
ing making putts and hitting shots, said Mark Calcavecchia,
another player who doesnt waste time. He plays quick and hes
got the quick tempo and he putts quick. And they go in quick.
Thats awesome golf.
What does that get him?
A whole lot of nothing, Snedeker said. Weve got 36 more
holes to go. A lot can happen.
And that was before Scott, the 32-year-old Australian, began
making his steady move up the leaderboard. He bogeyed the third
hole for the second straight day, and then turned it around by
smashing a 3-wood that bounced off a hillock to the right of the
green on the par-5 seventh hole and set up a two-putt birdie. Scott
opened the back nine with back-to-back birdies, and then hit two
beautiful shots to 8 feet for another birdie on the 18th and a 67.
Scott, who had a 64 on Thursday, has never been in such good
shape at a major going into the weekend.
Why Ive played good this week is kind of a culmination of
everything Ive done over the last couple of years, Scott said. I
feel like this is the path Ive been going down, and just happens to
have happened here that Ive put myself in good position after two
days at a major.

ISTANBUL Diana Taurasi and the U.S.
womens basketball team feel a little over-
looked.
Theyve been on one of the most dominant
runs in Olympic history, winning four straight
gold medals the most in a traditional
womens team sport and 33 consecutive
games. They are favored to win their fth con-
secutive gold at the London Games.
Yet they feel unappreciated instead of cele-
brated.
I think its funny, Taurasi said. Were a
team thats won four gold medals in a row and
yet were still ghting for respect in our own
country. I think its a little sad. Thats a heck
of a motivator for all of us in the gym. Our
level is so high, it becomes normal and even
to the public its they should win the gold
medal. If they dont its a terrible year.
Taurasi joked that they should get shirts
made up with road to respect as the slogan
modifying the 2008 mens teams road to
redemption motto.
One of coach Geno Auriemmas goals in
London is to get the womens team the atten-
tion they feel they deserve.
If we win another gold medal its not going
to be a huge story, he said. I want to make it
a huge story because the respect that Dees
talking about that these kids deserve for hav-
ing done what theyve done and been able to
do it the way they do it should be appreciated.
Greatness should be appreciated and not taken
for granted.
People take us for granted.
Their opponents dont.
Only one team has come within single dig-
its of the U.S. since the unprecedented run
started in 1996. Theyve won by an average of
29 points a game. The Americans have only
lost once in major international competitions
since 1996 with the lone blemish coming
against Russia in the seminals of the 2006
world championship.
Were doing something that no one has
ever done, said Sue Bird, who will be playing
in her third straight Olympics. You dont
hear much about it and people take it for
granted that were going to win, assume its
going to happen. To go for a fth gold medal
in a row, thats unbelievable.
Despite the Olympic team not getting the
respect that the players feel theyve earned,
womens basketball has made great strides in
the U.S. since 1996. The WNBA began a year
later and is celebrating its 16th season. Three
of the teams in the league have turned prots
and attendance is up for the fth straight sea-
son.
While there is denitely still room for
improvement, the fact that the WNBA is still
around is a positive sign two womens pro
soccer leagues have folded despite Olympic
success by US teams.
American womens softball teams had a
resume almost as impressive as the basketball
squad, winning three of four gold medals
before seeing their sport removed from the
Olympics after the 2008 Beijing Games.

Of the six tournaments under their belt, the Storm has won
four. Interestingly enough, Cotla points to one of the tourna-
ments they didnt win as the one that perhaps best exemplies
San Bruno softball. Despite going 1-3 at a tournament in
Southern California, Cotla said his team showed that they
might just be ready for the big stage.
Theyre kind of like the Mecca of girls softball, Cotla said
of Southern California. You kind of put your standards by
how you compete against them. So going down there this year
to play and even though we lost more than we won, but all the
games were close and it gave us a really good feeling that this
years Nationals are going to be strong for us and that our pro-
gram is getting to the elite status that they are down there.
San Bruno suffered two Saturday losses before turning
around and defeating the No. 2 seed of the tournament and
staying pitch for pitch against the No. 1 seed. It showed our
character and how far weve come, Cotla said. We left there
with a really good feeling.
The Storm carried that condence into a tournament in
Union City where they allowed only two runs.
The girls really focused through the week of practice,
Cotla said. Things just started to click. We started hitting the
ball, running the bases better and the defense just really
shined. We just were making really good plays and doing
things right, not making the big errors. It really was good.
Good is the perfect way to describe Storm pitchers Jena
Lacayo and Ra Dade, who Cotla said have really carried the
team. Shes just been pitching fantastic through the summer
for us, Cotla said of Lacayo. Theyve been just fantastic.
Theyre carrying a bunch of the load. We havent been scoring
a lot of runs for them but theyve been pitching their hearts out.
Without those two, our season would be kind of average.
Thats the reason weve gone a long way.
Cotlas expectations for the Western National tournament
are high. But he feels a strong showing is within his teams
reach.
Top 10 [nish] would be perfect, he said. I think that
would be a very successful season for us. Its going to be pret-
ty tough but I think we can do very well. If we can nish in the
top 10, that would be a very successful summer for us.
Syline tournament update
The Sweet 16 for the Skyline College High School basket-
ball tournament is set, with the Peninsula Athletic League

STORM
Blevins in the eighth and by Cano against Cook to lead off
the ninth. Cook has four blown saves in 14 chances.
Milone allowed seven hits and no walks and tied an
Oakland record with his 10 strikeouts against the Yankees.
He also helped end New Yorks streak of 43 consecutive
games with at least three runs the longest in the majors
since Clevelands 48-game run in 1994.
The rst two game of this series have been a far cry from
New Yorks rst visit to Oakland in late May when the
Yankees overwhelmed the As in a three-game sweep to
extend their winning streak at the Coliseum to nine games.
That was part of a nine-game overall losing streak for the
As, who have recovered since then to post the second best
record in the majors to the Yankees since June 2.
A pitching staff that leads the American League in ERA
this season is the biggest reason for the recent success that
has Oakland (49-44) ve games over .500 for the rst time
since April 2010 and only a half-game out of a wild-card
spot.
After leaving the bases loaded in the rst inning, the As
struck for single runs in the third and fourth innings against
Ivan Nova. Coco Crisp led off the third with a triple and
scored on Jemile Weeks sacrice y. Moss and Brandon
Inge then hit back-to-back doubles to open the fourth to
make it 2-0.

A signicant portion of Shapiros
allegations from last year revolved
around Allen, who was an assistant
football equipment manager until
leaving the program last year.
Shapiro said he gave Allen more than
$200,000, most allegedly spent on
players and recruits, as well as a lux-
ury car. Allen denied those claims to
Yahoo Sports in 2011, and has not
responded to interview requests from
the AP.
Shapiros attorney, Maria Elena
Perez, also did not immediately
respond to requests for comment
Friday. She deposed Allen late last
year, shortly before court records
showed Miami entered into an agree-
ment with a bankruptcy trustee to
return $83,000 it said it received
directly and indirectly from
Shapiro.
Miami has been bracing for addi-
tional allegations, and was aware ear-
lier this week that they were coming.
In an e-mail obtained by the AP, uni-
versity President Donna Shalala told
trustees Thursday that someone who
had a low level position at one time
was expected to allege that Miami
assistant coach and former NFL play-
er Micheal Barrow committed
recruiting violations. Shalala said it
has already been investigated.
Yahoo Sports reported Friday that
Allen tried to aid both Barrow and
former assistant Aubrey Hill, who left
the Hurricanes less than a month after
Golden was hired and is now the
wide receivers coach and recruiting
coordinator at Florida. It cited Allens
phone records, detailing calls he
made to recruits often moments
before or after calling Barrow or Hill.
It also listed other alleged violations,
such as Allen giving recruits rides to
the Miami football ofces or to
restaurants for meetings with coach-
es.
Some current players were listed as
having contact with Allen during
their recruiting process, including
standout defensive lineman Anthony
Chickillo, cornerback Thomas Finnie
and incoming freshmen Randy
Duke Johnson and Herb Waters.
Chickillo, according to the new
Yahoo Sports report, was taken to a
strip club on his recruiting visit by
former Miami defensive end Olivier
Vernon, who decided after last season
to skip his nal season with the
Hurricanes and make himself eligible
for the NFL draft. Vernon was one of
the players sanctioned by the NCAA
last season for accepting money from
Shapiro.

something people care about, said Van
Houten, who gets her materials from local and
European antique fairs.
People want to connect to a historical
moment, she said.
In the front shop window is a large white
marble sculpture of a womans body hugging
her legs to her chest. Nobody does marble,
said Bogdan, admiring the time-consuming
process of chiseling the perfect sculpture.
The marble piece was made by Ellen
Lowenstein, who teaches sculpture at Skyline
College. Lowenstein is not a self-promoter,
explained Bogdan. Thats the surprise of the
store: you get to bring people together in a
non-formal setting, she said. Its not formal
like a gallery.
Bogdan opened the store with more than a
dozen artists and now has many more. The
back showroom has bright photographs of
Cuba taken by a local judge.
For some people this is just their hobby,
they just like doing this stuff, said Bogdan. I
dont even have to look. They found me.
Atop Bogdans loom in the back of the shop
are three pieces that look as if they were found
in a wizards home. They were made by a
retired Stanford astrophysicist, said Bogdan.
His mystical objects are made using lenses
and metal rods from old equipment.
Since she opened for business in early May,
Bogdan is always being asked if she is
Penelope.
The name for her shop is a reference to
Homers Odyssey. The main character
Odysseus has a wife Penelope who is a weav-
er. She tells the people that she will give up
hope of her husbands return as soon as she
finishes her weaving. Secretly, Penelope
unweaves her textile each night.
As a weaver who lives on Kings Mountain,
Bogdan, 33, feels there is a great need for the
shop.
There is a huge art community here and
nowhere to sell it, she said.
She knows that these are tough economic
times, but believes that art is a necessity.
Art is essential because we cant devote
our whole lives to making money, said
Bogdan, who studied textile design as Moore
College of Art and Design in Philadelphia.
Her goal is to sell ethically made local art at
a reasonable price. She sells her woven tex-
tiles and silkscreen printed scarves and
American Apparel T-shirts.
Her Highway 35 printed T-shirt for $35 is
a hit with the bikers. Another design was cre-
ated on special request from the bikers: a
Highway 35 skull print.
Surprisingly, some of the more delicate
items are also a hit with the leather-clad
crowd. One biker managed to t four glass
pansy plates into her fanny pack, said
Bogdan.
Other items include goats milk fudge made
in La Honda, wooden mushrooms made by a
retired lumber worker, metal sculptures by
local Bill Sorich, jewelry made by Deb
Rockmore in Woodside and owers from a
neighboring family farm. So is there criteria
for the items in Penelopes Den?
I have to like it, said Bogdan of her col-
lection. Its cohesive, but reects the diversi-
ty of the community. We certainly are not one-
dimensional up here.

could be covered through a bond measure. On
Tuesday, the board will decide whether to put
the measure before voters in November. Such a
measure requires two-thirds approval. If
approved, the bond measure would cost $30 per
$100,000 of a propertys value.
Superintendent Maggie MacIssac explained
the school facilities are an average of about 70
years old. A bond measure will allow the district
to provide up-to-date and safe places for the stu-
dents while updating the technology, she said.
In 2010, the Burlingame Elementary School
District purchased the vacant site of Hoover
Elementary School at 2220 Summit Drive to
help with growing enrollment.
In August, the board voted for a conceptual
design for Hoover which calls for the renova-
tion of the original 1930s building and removal
of the 1949 annex building allowing for a new
building in its place. This creates a school with
11 classrooms, one day-care room and a library
created from two of the smaller current class-
rooms. There will be a multipurpose room with
a new stage, main ofce, specialist spaces in the
new buildings and support spaces.
Estimates to upgrade the facility have ranged
from $6.87 million to $10.8 million, with the
current plan being on the higher end.
Measure A, a $48.3 million bond measure,
was passed in 2007. Purchasing the now-vacant
Hoover Elementary School at 2220 Summit
Drive for $4.85 million was one of the larger
purchases from the measure. Money from
Measure A has also been used for design work,
environmental analysis, surveying and prelimi-
nary engineering for the Hoover site.
Hoover was built in the 1930s, closed in 1978
and sold 10 years later. In 1989, Shinnyo-En
Buddhist Facility was granted a city permit but
later moved out of Burlingame. Since the pur-
chase of Hoover, the board has often discussed
a second bond as being needed to cover the ren-
ovation costs. Going for a bond could also make
the district eligible for state matching grants.
Burlingame could be the second district to
place a measure on the November ballot.
On Monday, the San Carlos Elementary
School District Board of Trustees voted unani-
mously to put a $72 million bond measure on
the November ballot. Such funds could be used
for updating technology, repairing schools,
improving trafc safety, reducing overcrowding
and upgrading energy efciencies to create
long-term savings, according to the district.
The San Bruno Park Elementary School
District has been toying with the idea of placing
a parcel tax on the November ballot. When dis-
cussed at the boards June 27 meeting, trustees
disagreed on the possible amount and duration
of such a measure.
The board meets 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 24 at
the District Ofce, 1825 Trousdale Drive,
Burlingame.

Thousands flee as Syrian
rebels wage guerrilla war
BEIRUT Rebels pressed their guerrilla
ght to topple Syrias regime deeper into the
capital on Friday, ambushing troops and attack-
ing police stations as thousands of terried
civilians ed to Lebanon and Iraq to escape
some of the worst violence of the 16-month
conict.
The two-day death toll was more than 470
people, marking some of the deadliest of the
uprising.
The U.N. refugee agency said between 8,500
and 30,000 Syrians had entered Lebanon in the
past 48 hours, and thousands of Iraqis have also
returned home, a bitter trip for many who ed
to Syria from their own countrys civil war.
In Damascus, Syrian forces recaptured one
battle-scarred neighborhood and proudly
showed reporters the dead bodies of rebel ght-
ers lying in rubble-strewn streets.
But rebels said they withdrew to expand their
guerrilla war, pointing to the difculty both
sides will have in achieving victory in
Damascus, the central bastion of President
Bashar Assads rule.
Israelis bury five
victims of Bulgaria attack
JERUSALEM Devastated mourners
grasped at dirt atop fresh graves and screamed
in agony Friday as they buried the ve Israeli
victims of a bombing in Bulgaria an attack
that Israel has blamed on Iran and its proxy
group Hezbollah.
Two days after the deadly blast in a popular
vacation spot, investigators in Bulgaria and in
several other countries were still struggling to
conrm the attackers identity.
Bulgarian prosecutors said the attacker had
short hair, not the long hair seen in the security
video footage captured of him at the airport. A
witness said he appeared to be wearing a wig.
The victims cofns were received early
Friday in a military ceremony at Israels inter-
national airport. Seventeen Israelis remain in
hospitals.
Around the world
By Chloee Weiner
W
hen I was in elementary school, I
had a lot of irrational fears, and
one of those fears was the concept
of a year-round school. Id
never met anyone who
attended a year-round
school, nor had I ever seen
one myself, but the idea of
adults taking away sum-
mer break was frightening
and downright sinister.
Like any kid, I still spend
many a tough winter day
at school longing for sum-
mertime, but a recent series of events has urged
me to legitimately consider the benets of a
truncated summer and a few more days of
school throughout the year. But before my sta-
tus as a true child is revoked, allow me to
explain how I developed this possibly shocking
point of view.
A few days ago, a particularly pessimistic
friend of mine reminded me that over half of
our summer break has already passed. With
this cheerful reminder, I decided to nally pick
up a summer reading book (the all too exciting
10 Steps to Repair American Democracy) so
as not to nd myself knee-deep in required
reading come the week before the rst day of
the fall semester. As I began to read, I could
barely get through a few pages without getting
distracted and I realized that after only a month
away from school, my attention span had
already shortened and my work ethic had
quickly deteriorated. I began to think about the
rst week of school in past years and remem-
bered that several days, if not more, were
always spent getting back into the routine of
classes and homework. Most teachers arent
cruel enough to assign a daunting 10-page
essay during the rst days back and in classes
involving foreign language or math, a review
of derivative rules or the French past subjunc-
tive has always been needed before learning
new material.
The summer months away from school de-
nitely make it dangerously easy to forget much
of the information learned from the previous
semester, and most students seem to come
back to class more readily able to answer ques-
tions about TV shows like House or
Breaking Bad than about what was covered
in English 11. Its because of this cycle of
learning and forgetting that Ive started to legit-
imately consider a concept that would appall
most students: year-round school.
Aside from the prevention of loss of aca-
demic progress, year-round schooling does
have the potential for more kid-friendly bene-
ts. With more days of total school dispersed
evenly throughout an entire year, more fre-
quent breaks and later start times (two changes
that students are always advocating) could
become real options. As if these benets
werent enough to make year-round school
start to sound at least somewhat desirable, a
change in the American schooling system real-
ly could help the countrys students ability to
compete academically on an international

Beasts of the Southern
Wild one of years best
By Christy Lemire
Beasts of the Southern Wild is sheer poetry
on screen: an explosion of joy in the midst of
startling squalor and one of the most visceral,
original lms to come along in a while.
The story of a little girl named Hushpuppy
(Quvenzhane Wallis) living on a remote, primal
strip of eroding land in the southernmost reach-
es of the Louisiana bayou is so ambitious and
so accomplished, its amazing that its only the
rst feature lm from director Benh Zeitlin.
Working from a script he co-wrote with long-
time friend Lucy Alibar, based on her play,
Zeitlin deftly mixes a sense of childhood
wonder with the harsh realities of the adult
world.
His lm is at once dreamlike and brutal
(the gorgeous work of cinematographer
Ben Richardson), ethereal yet power-
fully emotional. Fight it all you like,
but this movie will get to you by the
end. And hes coaxed some surprising-
ly strong performances from a couple
of inexperienced actors he had the
daring to place front-and-center.

shooting began, has a erce pres-

The documentary The Queen of
Versailles begins life as a juicy guilty
pleasure, allowing us to gawk and cluck
at the nouveau-riche ostentation of an
elderly time-share mogul and his much-
younger trophy wife as they build their
dream home: a 90,000-square-foot
palace that would be the biggest house in
America.
And then the economy collapses. And
suddenly, in some ways, David and
Jackie Siegel are just like us.
Sure, theyre stuck in their 26,000-
square-foot mansion in Orlando, Fla.,
which theyre bursting out of with their
eight kids, various nannies, maids and
animals and wall-to-wall tacky furniture
and artwork. Jackie, a buxom and

level. Its no secret that the U.S. continues to fall behind in edu-
cation, and a more consistent school schedule that lasted for an
entire calendar year would help students retain and improve
upon their academic knowledge.
That being said, with all the pros of year-round school, there
are, of course, cons as well. Without extended summer vaca-
tions, families would have less time to travel and students
wouldnt be able to pursue independent interests at places like
camps. Schools, especially universities, also generate a lot of
income from summer programs and even if they didnt, there
would denitely be teachers who (like students) might not be
quick to give up their well-deserved vacation time.
A nationalization of year-round school is improbable, even if
plausible, in the near future, but I have to say that the concept
no longer makes it onto my list of irrational fears. However,
perhaps a few days spent on the beach this summer will make
me change my mind.

wild hair and bright eyes, but also a plucky, girlish sweetness.
This is Hushpuppys fairy tale but shes no damsel in distress,
which is clear from the rst moment we see her.
Hushpuppys mother left long ago; now she and her ailing,
alcoholic father, Wink (Dwight Henry), are living together on the
narrow and ruggedly beautiful Isle de Jean Charles, known affec-
tionately by the rag-tag locals in the lm as The Bathtub.As her
father becomes consumed by poor health and drink and with
a damaging storm on the way she must gure out how to sur-
vive on her own.
Even before these pressing problems arose, though, Wink was-
nt exactly the most traditional father. Living side-by-side in sep-
arate trailers propped up in makeshift fashion, the two are more
like next-door neighbors who pal around and share whatever din-
ner they can scrounge up. At best, Hushpuppys daddy is neg-
lectful; at worst, he disappears for days. Still, you know he loves
his daughter and when hes around he teaches her to be
strong and tries to protect her in his own feeble, erratic way.
The character and the unorthodox parental bond depicted are
sure to provoke mixed, complex responses from viewers, but
Beasts of the Southern Wild never judges Wink. Thats an
impressive feat in itself, but whats even more amazing is that
Henry had never acted before. Zeitlin found him at the bakery he
runs in New Orleans and persuaded him to take part in the pro-
duction. His presence, and that of all the good-time locals, adds
to the air of authenticity.
Obviously, these two arent going anywhere, and neither are
their friends; an unshakable sense of pride and territoriality forti-
es them. We saw this again and again as Hurricane Katrina bar-
reled toward southern Louisiana: folks who saw no reason to
leave. This was their home. They stood rm. Katrina is never
mentioned by name and it doesnt need to be. The idea of a land-
scape-altering storm is just one of the many mythical elements at
work here.
Some of the magical realism imagery may seem a little too lit-
eral, too obvious, and may not work for everyone. Hushpuppy,
who also narrates the lm, envisions giant, prehistoric beasts
storming toward her home from far away the fantastical man-
ifestation in her mind of the real-life threats that are imminent.
But theyre all of a piece in a lm thats wild and wondrous, and
one of the years best.
The only drawback is that some of the kids who could benet
the most from witnessing such a display of bravery and resource-
fulness are too young to experience it unless maybe they have
open-minded parents, too.
Beasts of the Southern Wild, a Fox Searchlight release, is
rated PG-13 for thematic material including child imperilment,
some disturbing images, language and brief sexuality. Running
time: 91 minutes. Four stars out of four.

WEEKEND JOURNAL 19
By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
MAN RAY AND LEE MILLER
TOGETHER AT SAN FRANCISCOS
LEGION OF HONOR. One of the art
worlds most complicated relationships
comes alive with Man Ray | Lee Miller:
Partners in Surrealism, on view at the
Legion of Honor. The exhibition consists of
approximately 115 photographs, paintings,
drawings and manuscripts that explore the
creative interaction between Ray and
Miller, two giants of European Surrealism.
Organized by the Peabody Essex Museum,
Salem, Massachusetts, this is the first exhi-
bition to focus exclusively on the pairs
artistic relationship and to show Miller as
an artist and Surrealist force in her own
right rather than merely as a muse for Ray.
Man Ray (born Emmanuel Radnitzky
(18901976), a leader in two pioneering
modern art movements, Surrealism and
Dada, thought of himself primarily as a
painter and as an artist wedded to no single
medium. His camerawork marked a turning
point in the integration of photography
among other visual art forms. Lee Miller
(19071977), who started her career as a
fashion model in New York, moved behind
the camera and went to Paris in 1929 to seek
out Ray as a teacher. Ray and Miller lived
together in Paris from 1929 through 1932,
first as teacher and student, and later as
lovers. (An exhibition highlight, from their
years together, is Rays A lheure de lob-
servatoire les amoureux (Observatory
TimeThe Lovers), ca. 1931.) After she and
Ray parted, Miller remained a photographer
for two decades, including serving as the
official war photographer for Vogue docu-
menting the Blitz. Miller was accredited
into the U.S. Army as a war correspondent
for Cond Nast Publications from
December 1942, traveled to France less
than a month after D-Day, recorded the first
use of napalm (at the siege of St. Malo), the
liberation of Paris and the horror of the Nazi
concentration camps at Buchenwald and
Dachau.
Ray and Millers relationship resulted in
some of the most powerful works of each
artists career, and helped shape the course
of modern art. The two artists inspired each
other equally, collaborating on several proj-
ects. Though they lived together for only
three years, Man Ray | Lee Miller: Partners
in Surrealism documents the lingering effect
each had on the others art. The works in the
exhibition are drawn primarily from the Lee
Miller Archives and Penrose Collection in
Sussex, England, augmented for the San
Francisco presentation by loans from impor-
tant public and private collections in the
United States. Included are selected works
by artists in Ray and Millers circle in Paris,
including paintings by Pablo Picasso, Max
Ernst, Roland Penrose and Dora Maar and a
small sculpture by Alexander Calder.
Among the intriguing items on display is a
chess set made by Ray and later sold to
Miller and her husband, the British surreal-
ist painter Roland Penrose. Ray had the
pieces made in a factory that produced mili-
tary parts during the Second World War. The
bishops are stylized agons of wine, sug-
gesting intemperance.

GIFTS FROM THE GODS. The Legion
presents Gifts from the Gods: Art and the
Olympic Ideal. Coinciding with the opening
of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London,
the Legion of Honor draws together out-
standing examples of art related to the
Olympics from its ancient roots until today
to reveal the continuity of the Olympic ideal
and the rich and diverse expressions of the
body in motion. Masterpieces of Greek and
Roman coinage that celebrate the Olympic
Games, the gods and the victorious athletes
are supplemented by additional works of art
from the Fine Arts Museums collections
inspired by modern-day Olympics.

The Legion of Honor Museum is located
in Lincoln Park, 34th Avenue and Clement
Street, San Francisco. Museum hours are
TuesdaySunday, 9:30 a.m.5:15 p.m.;
closed on Monday. For information about
admission prices and docent tours of the
exhibit, visit www.legionofhonor.org or call

The question is if two of the other three
remaining supervisors will also be on
board.
Four-fths is hard especially with a
dicey issue, said Tissier, adding she has
no idea if the support will be there at
Tuesdays meeting.
Supervisor Carole Groom was a vocal
opponent of a sales tax increase when the
idea was raised two years ago and said
Friday of the new recommendation that
she has not yet made up her mind.
Supervisor Dave Pine said he still needs
to think the proposal through before
deciding whether to support it.
The biggest need I have is more public
input, he said.
He is also weighing if the tax will drive
business elsewhere or limit other cities
ability to increase taxes.
Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson could
be reached for comment.
The tax would raise approximately $60
million annually for 10 years minus
any cost for the state administering it
and Tissier said it is sorely needed to
maintain the countys programs and serv-
ices. Unlike the three tax measures in
June, which were aimed at tourists
through parking, car rentals and hotel
stays, Tissier said this measure is focused
on county residents making contributions.
Im comfortable asking because at the
end of the day, they make the decision.
Were not saying its going to happen.
Were simply asking that voters consider
it, Tissier said.
Horsley, who in June preferred a sales
tax to the measures presented on that bal-
lot, said the county would particularly
need the extra revenue if the state tax
measure fails. He also thinks a county
measure has a greater shot at success.
Ive always felt that when people vote
for a state tax it ends up in the black hole
of Sacramento. People dont really see
how it affects them. When its a local tax
they know it directly benets them,
Horsley said.
The Board of Supervisors would have
complete say over how the proceeds are
used because it is a general tax but offer
the public a list of possibilities such as
public safety, parks, jail stafng, gang and
drug task forces and educational pro-
grams.
Tissier and Horsley also suggest using
some of the revenue to help Seton
Medical Center in Daly City with mandat-
ed seismic upgrades to stave off closure in
2020. Seton provides a signicant number
of long-term care beds for Medi-Cal pop-
ulations and losing them would have a
domino effect on other health providers,
including the San Mateo Medical Center
which is already challenged by increasing
client loads and waiting lists.
Seton ofcials have already approached
the county about receiving $10 million to
$15 million in annual funding but no com-
mitments have been made, Pine said.
Horsley said skeptical voters have to
realize they already subsidize health care
at private facilities and that when health
care reform kicks in the county must have
a solid physical network available.
The county has already tightened its
belt, although it can admittedly always do
more, Tissier said.
Ofcials are also aggressively pursuing
economic development but the planning
alone, let alone the fruition, will take
years, she said.
The tax, which is proposed as ending
after 10 years unless renewed, will pro-
vide much-needed funds during that gap
period, she said.
The tax increase proposal comes a
month after the Board of Supervisors ten-
tatively approved a $1.8 billion budget
that includes many capital needs, such as
improving a pair of ofce buildings the
county purchased last year for $40 million
and initial planning and building costs for
a new jail.
That same month a majority of voters
rejected an increase to the hotel transient
occupancy tax and a tax on commercial
parking in the unincorporated areas. A 2.5
percent tax on car rentals passed by less
than 200 votes and will bring in an esti-
mated $8 million annually.
The Board of Supervisors meets 9 a.m.
Tuesday, July 24 in Board Chambers, 400
County Government Center, Redwood
City.

The Corona and Bud Light signs hang-
ing inside Michoacan Market were taken
down, said Ortiz.
Volunteers helped owner Ruben Robles
put up a large plastic marlin over his meat
section for a new visual appeal that pro-
motes his sh.
Ortiz pointed to a front room of the
store that used to be piled with cardboard
boxes of fruit. Now the room has new bas-
ket shelves that neatly display mangos,
oranges, coconuts and other fruit.
Students from Gareld Elementary are
drawn to Michoacan Markets new dis-
plays, said Ortiz.
Kids come here from Gareld and see
the mangos and want to get them, he
said.
A major motivator for Ortiz, 20, is the
health of his three younger siblings.
I dont want them eating junk food, he
said.
Edwin Cano of the YLI led community
members to Pena Meat & Food Market on
Middleeld Road which has also received
a makeover. He pointed to a new veg-
etable refrigerator at the front of the store
and explained to a group of kids that the
new appliance is more energy efcient
and attractive. Cano also pointed out that
the store is brighter than before because
they scratched the dark paint off the win-
dows. The alcohol section now displays
signs informing customers that persons
under the age of 21 may not make pur-
chases.
La Guadalupana, the rst store to par-
ticipate, was made over in March 2011.
The store was chosen for the project
because it does not sell alcohol or tobac-
co, said Ortiz.
He showed off a bright produce case
with a new banner above it. This area used
to be dark and closed-off, he said.
La Guadalupana owner Yolanda
Hernandaz likes encouraging people to
have fresh fruit.
The customers noticed a change and
they like it, said Hernandez, who has
seen a few more customers since the
transformation.
People think store owners just want
money but they really care about commu-
nity health, said Ortiz.
A key factor in the project has been
developing relationships with the store
owners, said Ortiz.
Its not a one-time thing, he said. We
have to come often to make sure there is
trust.
Store owners are initially worried about
food costs but the makeovers are funded
by a two-year $150,000 grant from Kaiser
Permanente to Redwood City 2020.
The program aims to develop a network
so that the stores can eventually support
each other. The goal is to give the stores
collective buying power so that they can
buy quality produce at a low price, said
Ortiz.
The group is working on adding two
more stores to the network. One of the
perspective store owners is Lupe Lopez
who owns Arteagas Food Center on Fifth
Avenue. There is a problem with accessi-
bility of healthy foods for kids, said
Lopez.
Its important to be educated about eat-
ing healthy when you are little, she said.
Its hard to break habits of eating fried
foods, said Lopez, who struggles with
obesity. Then you have problems like I
have.
The availability of healthy food is key,
said Dr. Scott Gee, pediatrician with
Kaiser Permanente. We can educate peo-
ple about healthy eating all we want but if
the food is not available then it wont hap-
pen, he said.
The North Fair Oaks community has
high rates of obesity and heart disease, he
said. This generation is the rst to have
an expected life span shorter than their
parents, said Dr. Gee, who has seen his
patients obesity rate triple over his career.
But it doesnt have to be that way.
While many communities have tried
similar projects, few have been as suc-
cessful as this one, he said.
A major factor for the success of this
project has been the youths successful
relationships with the stores.
Without the owners involvement,
there is no success, he said.
STORES
SATURDAY, JULY 21, 2012
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you do not succeed
on your frst attempt, at least give yourself credit for
what you tried to do. After patting yourself on the
back, take a deep breath, regroup and try again.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When your desires are
purely materialistic in nature, gratifcation is likely
to evade you. To get things back in proper balance,
think of ways to enrich your soul and spirit, not just
your wallet.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Friends usually do things
for us out of affection, not in order to incur an obliga-
tion. I doubt yours will be any different. Try using
smiles, not snarls, to induce cooperation.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- One of the best ways to
inhibit your progress is to take things too seriously.
Conversely, adopting a philosophical outlook could
put you in the winners circle.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Instead of leaving
an important matter to a friend who sometimes is
known to be unreliable, take control of the situation
yourself, even if youd prefer to do otherwise.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be careful not to
insinuate yourself with people who arent in harmony
with your philosophy. If you do, you risk getting in-
volved in something that you dont want to be part of.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you have a tricky
assignment to take care of, analyze its potential
problems well in advance. Otherwise, you could end
up running around in circles without a game plan.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Try not to be too
possessive of someone to whom you are attracted.
Be relaxed and generous, and good things could
come about.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- In order to protect your
interests and position, chances are you might have
to do a bit of negotiating up front. It behooves you to
focus on your strongest areas.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It will all depend upon
your attitude as to whether you succeed or fail. When
confronting a diffcult situation, seek out its positive
attributes and go from there.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There is everything to
lose when involved in high-risk ventures. Conversely,
your chances of yielding a proft will increase by
proceeding along prudent, practical lines.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Although you might have
to deal with a lot of uncertainties early in the day, as
time ticks on, one by one they should gradually disap-
pear, and youll get everything under control.
