U.S.Rep.Speier marks 100 days in Congress

By Dana Yates

Faulting financial institutions, energy woes, ination and the war in Iraq have marked the rst 100 days in ofce for U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, and the congresswoman plans to discuss all shes learned at two town hall meet-
Jackie Speier
ing this weekend. Speier was elected in April to ll the seat of the late Tom Lantos, who died in February while in ofce. Three and a half
months in Washington D.C. has given Speier just enough time to learn the ropes and introduce her one and only bill this session. In the meantime, she was named to the Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the House Committee on Financial Services. Her position on the nancial services committee gave her a front row
seat to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernankes two-day congressional testimony on the state of the economy. Bernanke told Congress on Wednesday that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are in no danger of failing but Congress should act quickly on legislation to bolster their nances.
Speier agrees with Bernankes assessment that the failing economy is a result of the failing housing nance market. Speier also agrees Congress must act to stabilize the housing market to bolster the national economy. Elsewhere in the country, cities are facing 40 percent foreclosure rates. That kind of fore-

Commodities lower on big crude drop

By Stevenson Jacobs
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Commodities fell broadly Wednesday, extending their losses for a second day as worries about the U.S. economy and another steep decline in crude prices fed selling of hard assets. Crude tumbled more than $4 a barrel, sparking a sell-off that sent gold, silver, copper and other energy futures sharply lower. Oil prices fell more than $6 on Tuesday, meaning prices have dropped over $10 in two days. Nervousness about the health of the American economy has weighed on commodities over the last two days. Investors are concerned that rising ination will lead to a slowdown in consumer spending which represents two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. That would likely worsen U.S. economic turmoil,
slowing demand for energy and raw materials used to make everything from automobiles to skyscrapers. There are some worries stemming from reduction in demand for oil, copper and other commodities, said Tom Pawlicki, analyst with MF Global Research in Chicago. Still, he cautioned that the correction could quickly shift course and that investors could send prices soaring again. Until we see a bottom in the stock market and things start to rally there, commodities are still the only game in town, Pawlicki said. I dont think you can call a top yet. In precious metals, gold fell sharply as the drop in crude prices reduced demand for inflation hedges. Gold for August delivery dropped $16 to settle at $962.70 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange after earlier falling as low as
$958.20 an ounce. Other metals also fell sharply. September silver lost 20.8 cents to settle at $18.805 an ounce on the Nymex, while September copper fell 4.95 cents to settle at $3.6505. The decline in precious metals came despite word from the government that ination is accelerating. The Labor Department reported Wednesday that consumer prices rose 1.1 percent last month, much worse than had been expected and the second fastest rate of increase in 26 years. It blamed most of the increase on rocketing energy prices. Precious metals are often bought as a hedge against ination because theyre known for holding their value, but the steep drop in oil prices has at least temporarily overshadowed that appeal. Crude prices fell steeply for a second day after the government said
More than 15 percent of local high school students dropped out over the past four years compared to 24 percent statewide, according to numbers released by the California Department of Education yesterday. While this means San Mateo County is faring better than the state average of 24.2 percent, the area is still losing 15.6 percent of its students. Locally, black, Hispanic and Pacic Islanders left at the highest
rates over the past four years 36 percent, 24.4 percent and 21.5 percent respectively. The estimates are Californias rst attempt at tracking graduation and dropout rates using individual student data called Statewide Student Identifiers or SSID. Administrators plan to use the numbers to identify at-risk students and offer help earlier. Twenty four percent of students dropping out is not good news. In fact, any student dropping out of

Katie Holmes to guest star on Eli Stone
NEW YORK Katie Holmes is coming back to TV and yes, theres a Dawsons Creek connection. The actress and wife of Tom Cruise will guest star as a nonprot attorney in one episode of the legal dramedy Eli Stone, ABC publicist Aime Wolfe told the Associated Press on Wednesday. Entertainment Weekly reported Wednesday on its Katie Holmes Web site that Holmes was to appear in the shows second season this fall. That means the 29-year-old star will work again with show creator Greg Berlanti, who was a writer-producer for the teen drama Dawsons Creek, which starred Holmes as tomboy Joey Potter. Holmes wholl likely decamp to New York with daughter Suri in tow will make her Broadway debut Sept. 18 in a revival of Arthur Millers All My Sons. Following Ronnies continued battle with alcohol he has entered a period of rehab, the spokeswoman said on condition of anonymity as required by her agency. His close Ronnie Wood family and friends say he is seeking help and look forward to his recovery. Wood, 61, has fought a long battle with alcoholism during his rock n roll career, which started in the 1960s when he played with the band The Faces. His spokeswoman didnt release any details about the treatment he will receive or the clinic that he entered. The craggy guitarist had seemed to be in good health in recent years. He has developed a strong second career as an artist, selling his paintings at some of Londons respected art galleries. But he has been the focus of feverish recent newspaper reports about his resuming drinking. to repay, at a minimum, for restitution on the fraud conviction for which hes serving a 25-year prison sentence. U.S. District Judge G. Kendall Sharpe on Wednesday asked and Lou Pearlman prosecutors defense attorneys to amend court documents with the agreed amount. It will be difcult for Pearlman to repay all the money while he is behind bars. Pearlman made millions in the record industry in the 1990s, but investigators have found that money and more seemingly gone with the collapse of his Ponzi scheme. Hes been allowed to manage at arms length the few remaining music acts he still has. He could also offer wages from whatever job he gets in federal prison, ranging from 12 cents an hour to $1.15 an hour for top-scale factory work. Attorneys from both sides, the FBI and FDIC determined Pearlman took $195 million from more than 1,000 people in an alleged savings program promising 6 percent to 10 percent returns, and $126.7 million in bogus loans from federally insured banks. Another $70 million was invested by people who thought they were buying shares in companies owned by Pearlman that mostly had no assets.

Alleged love triangle killer ordered to trial

Defendant accused of killing wife waives hearing, open to plea deal

Police reports
Criminal rap sheets
Linens were observed being taken from a hotel on El Camino Real in Belmont before 2:37 p.m. Thursday, July 10.
A 45-year-old Hayward man accused of killing his lovers husband two weeks after their wedding was ordered to stand trial for a second time, two weeks after prosecutors dismissed then reled murder and gun charges to accommodate the prosecutors schedule. Samuel Blackmon waived his right to a second preliminary hearing and returns to court Aug. 1 to enter a plea in the death of Jeffrey Scott Henderson. Blackmon is charged with murder, the use of a rearm and a previous strike for forcible rape. Unlike his rst trip through the judicial system, Blackmon indicated a desire to settle the case. The two sides met inconclusively but Blackmon wants a pretrial conference and offer.
A negotiated plea would end the 2-year-old case and could spare Blackmon the 105 years in prison he currently faces if convicted. On July 6, 2006, Beatrix Butler discovered her husband, Henderson, 49, shot to death inside her 1107 Samuel Second Ave. apartment. Blackmon Investigators learned that Butler and Henderson had recently married but were involved for 16 years previously before splitting temporarily. During that time, Butler and Blackmon met and became engaged. The men reportedly knew each other and Butler continued a relationship with both up until the murder. Butler told police she married Henderson because he was suicidal and she feared he would harm himself.
Police questioned Blackmon in the case but did not arrest him until March 23, 2007. Butler is not charged in the case and invoked her Fifth Amendment right against selfincrimination at Blackmons rst preliminary hearing. Blackmon was scheduled to face a jury in July but prosecutor Al Giannini was in a different trial and facing long-standing vacation plans, according to Chief Deputy District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. The prosecution is able to ask for a 10-day extension for a jury trial to accommodate scheduling but chances are this situation would have required seeking multiple delays. Blackmon remains in custody in lieu of $2 million bail.

Jail, probation for illicit junior high kiss

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A 24-year-old man allegedly spotted kissing a 13-year-old girl while dropping her off at a Redwood City middle school will spend just more than one month in jail on one count of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. Jose Melgoza-Melchor, 24, was sentenced to 121 days in jail with credit for 81 days, according to court records clerks. MelgozaMelchor has been in custody in lieu of $75,000 bail. He must also spend three years on supervised probation and pay standard court fines and fees. In return, Melgoza-Melchor avoids trial on
eight counts of child molestation along with the possibility of state prison and registration as a sex offender. Under the terms of his negotiated plea, Melgoza-Melchor faced up to seven months jail. On Feb. 29, according to the District Attorneys Office, the vice principal of Kennedy Middle School spotted MelgozaMelchor and a young girl kissing heavily. The vice principal reported the girl claimed to be 14 and her boyfriend 18. Police later determined the girl is actually 13 and Melgoza-Melchor 23. The two are neighbors. The girl allegedly told authorities Melgoza-Melchor told her to lie about her age and admitted the couple had been kissing and fondling for approximately four to six weeks.
The girls brother told police his family previously warned Melgoza-Melchor to stay away because of her age. The girls unwillingness to cooperate with Melgoza-Melchors prosecution played a role in his being offered a negotiated plea, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. His decision to accept was predicated on not being required to register as a sex offender, Wagstaffe said. He has no prior criminal convictions in San Mateo County, according to court records.

SAN FRANCISCO The California Supreme Court refused Wednesday to take up a case by gay rights advocates that sought to keep a same-sex marriage ban off the November ballot. The justices unanimous decision to reject the petition means that barring further legal action, voters will consider a constitutional amendment that would again limit marriage in California to a union between a man and a woman. If it passes, the amendment, known as Proposition 8, would overrule the Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex marriage in the state as of June 16. This was a frivolous lawsuit. It was a desperate attempt to try to keep the voter initiative off the ballot in November, said Glen Lavy, an attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund representing the measures sponsors.

STATE GOVERNMENT
The state A s s e m b l y Appropriations C o m m i t t e e approved a bill authored by Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo , to protect the legal rights of state employees who report waste, fraud or abuse within state agencies. The bill will
next be considered by the full Assembly. The state Assembly Appropriations Committee approved a bill authored by Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo, allowing greater communication between incarcerated youth and their family, clergy and legal counsel. The bill will now be considered by the full Assembly. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill authored by Assemblyman Gene Mullin, D-South San Francisco, requiring school districts about to issue debt to notify the public no later than 90 days prior.
SACRAMENTO Five leading congressional Democrats on Wednesday called a redistricting initiative backed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger unconstitutional, saying minority voting rights would be trampled if it were approved by voters. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the others sent a letter to the governor also expressing concern that Proposition 11 on the November ballot was a bid to boost Republican representation in the state Legislature. It is a vehicle to increase Republican inuence in state government at a time when the Republican Party is losing inuence with the general electorate, they wrote.
The others signing the letter were California Reps. Zoe Lofgren, chairwoman of Californias Democratic delegation, Joe Baca, chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Mike Honda, chairman of the Asian Pacic American Caucus, and Rep. Carolyn Kilpatrick of Michigan, chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus. Specically, they complained that the proposed 14-member redistricting commission might not reect Californias gender, racial or geographic diversity when legislative boundaries are redrawn after each national census. The initiative was put on the general election ballot by Common Cause, the League of Women Voters, the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California and other groups.

Finally, Millie gets the opportunity for which she yearns. She is hired as the personal secretary to Mr. Trevor Graydon III (William Giammona) of the Sincere Trust Insurance Company and he becomes the target of her determined marital aspirations. Fate, however, intervenes in Millies life again as Graydon spots Miss Dorothy Brown and is overcome with passion, in a singing and dancing scene that steals the show. Meanwhile, Jimmy having fallen for Millie, but is too poor for her to marry, brings her to the party of the wealthy cafe society socialite Muzzy Van Hossmere (Jackie De Muro), where she meets some of Manhattans luminaries, such as George and Ira Gershwin and
There is one thing of which one may be sure. Broadway by the Bay is able to take any of the old warhorse Broadway productions and make them seem fresh again. And it did it again with Thoroughly Modern Millie, a Tony Awarded stage musical adapted from a very popular 1967 movie starring Julie Andrews, Mary Tyler Moore and Carol Channing. As usual, Broadway by the Bay ropes in another hugely talented and balanced group of performers, perfectly cast and sets the audience feet tapping from the opening number. The story is the same old corny one about a naive girl from a small town in the Middle West hoping to fulll her dreams of marrying for money, not love, in the seductive Big Apple, New York City. This time, it is in 1922, the Flapper era, with prohibition smothering the fun for which Manhattan is noted. Nave Millie Dillmount (Melissa WolfKlain} arrives, sings a hopeful ballad and is immediately robbed of all of her possessions on the street. Her problems are soon ignored by another man on the street, the very man, Jimmy Smith (Ben Jones) who would become the love of her life. She is directed to a shabby Hotel Priscilla, hosting aspiring actresses operated by a weird, presumably Chinese lady, Mrs. Meers (Mary Gibboney), who earns her best income from selling orphaned aspiring actresses with no extended families into white slavery. She is assisted by two recent Chinese immigrant brothers Ching Ho (Joshua Lau) and Bun Foo (Jeffrey C. Wang), who wish to earn enough money to bring their mother from China. Millie is about to be evicted for nonpayment

Dorothy Parker. Empathizing with Millie, Muzzy reveals she was also a poor girl but fell in love with, and married, a man who was concealing the fact that he was very wealthy. To tell more of the story and its amazing conclusion would spoil the fun for those who wish to see the show. But I can say that meanwhile there is some of the cleverest choreography woven into the show by Robyn Tribuzi especially in the ofce scenes and in the forbidden speakeasy club. Heather Orth is a scene-stealer as Miss Flannery, the hard-nosed ofce manager for Sincere Trust Insurance Company. And Mrs. Meyers scenes with Ching Ho and Bun Foo are memories to treasure in the history of American Musical theater, especially when the boys sing Mammy in honor of their Chinese mother. Others who weave through the plot are fellow residents of Hotel Taylor Mallory, Mary Kalita, Lia Peros, Khalia Davis, Sarah Hammond, Elizabeth Windust and Clarissa Chun. There are some great and hummable tunes running through the show. The Art Deco sets from the 1920s are very impressive. The music direction by Attilo Tribuzi and sound of the orchestra is as good as it has always been. And another compliment is due for the always-outstanding lighting designing of Michael Ramsaur. Nuff said. Just remember to take your dancing shoes when you go.

Critics question lopsided prisoner swap

By Steven Gutkin and Aron Heller
JERUSALEM Critics of Israels lopsided prisoner exchange with Lebanese guerrillas said Wednesday that such deals only encourage more hostage-taking a fear underscored by Gaza militants who said the swap proves that kidnapping is the only language Israel understands. The deal, in which a notorious Lebanese attacker, four other militants and the bodies of 199 Arab ghters were traded for two dead Israeli soldiers, closed a painful chapter from Israels 2006 war in Lebanon. But it also raised questions about whether Israel should reconsider its policy of bringing back every soldier from the battleeld at just about any
cost. Israel has been carrying out unequal prisoner swaps for decades, including handing over 4,600 Palestinian and Lebanese captives in 1983 in exchange for six captured Israeli soldiers. In the past its even traded live prisoners for bodies, as it did Wednesday. The rationale for such trades was a wartime ethic seen as essential in Israels early days to instilling loyalty and commitment from its troops. In todays world of asymmetric warfare with militant groups increasingly focused on kidnapping as a way to pressure Israel and with the ght against terrorism now a worldwide challenge the lopsided swaps could have graver consequences than in the past. What weve done now has made kidnapping soldiers the most profitable game in town, said Israeli
security expert Martin Sherman. There is absolutely no reason why Hezbollah should not invest huge resources now, along with Hamas, in the next kidnapping. The issue is of immediate concern because the government is deeply involved in indirect negotiations to free its other captive soldier, Gilad Schalit, held by Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip. Unlike Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, the two soldiers whose bodies were returned Wednesday, Schalit is believed to be alive. Following this weeks Cabinet vote that cleared the way for the Hezbollah deal, Construction Minister Zeev Boim, one of only three ministers to vote against it, said he was afraid the swap would make it harder for Israel to win the release of Schalit.

Some soldiers in Iraq yearn to be in Afghan war

More U.S. troops may go to Afghanistan this year
By Lolita C. Baldor
By Sebastian Abbot
WASHINGTON Pentagon leaders on Wednesday signaled a surge in U.S. forces in Afghanistan sooner rather than later, a shift that could send some units there within weeks, as ofcials prepare to cut troop levels in Iraq. Senior military ofcials are looking across the services to identify
smaller units and other equipment that could be sent to Afghanistan, according to a defense ofcial. Although there are no brigadesized units that can be deployed quickly into Afghanistan, military leaders believe they can find a number of smaller units such as aviation, engineering and surveillance troops that can be moved more swiftly, said the ofcial, who requested anonymity because the discussions are private.
BAGHDAD Spc. Grover Gebhart has spent nine months at a small post on a Sunni-Shiite fault line in western Baghdad. But the 21-year-old soldier on his rst tour in Iraq feels hes missing the real war in Afghanistan, where his brother is ghting the Taliban. With violence in Iraq at its lowest level in four years and the war in Afghanistan at a peak, the soldiers serving at patrol station Maverick say Gebharts view is increasingly common, especially among younger soldiers looking to prove themselves in battle.
Ive heard it a lot since I got here, said 2nd Lt. Karl Kuechenmeister, a 2007 West Point graduate who arrived in Iraq about a week ago. Soldiers who have experienced combat stress note that it is usually young soldiers on their rst tour who most want to get on the battleeld. They say it is hard to communicate the horrors of war to those who havent actually experienced it. These kids are just being young, said Sgt. Christopher Janis, who is only 23 but is on his third tour in Iraq. They say they want to get into battle until they do, and then they wont want it anymore.
That soldiers are looking elsewhere for a battle is a testament to how much Iraq has changed from a year ago, when violence was at its height. Now its the lowest in four years, thanks to the U.S. troop surge, the turn by former Sunni insurgents against al-Qaida in Iraq, and Iraqi government crackdowns on Shiite militias. At least 29 U.S. soldiers died in Iraq last month, and there were 19 deaths in May the lowest monthly toll for American troops since the war began in March 2003. By comparison, in Afghanistan, 28 Americans died in June and 17 in May, but there are four times as many U.S. troops in Iraq.

But now, when everything old is new again, animals are back in the crosshairs of suspicion. How else to explain the never-ending succession of programs like When Animals Attack?
stereotypes blossomed until Stuarts story nally unraveled, proving him to be the actual killer of his wife and son. Also in 1989, the Central Park jogger attack sent ve teenagers to prison though they were later vindicated and freed. In October 1991, Susan Smith cried on national TV about the black carjacker who took her two small boys. The only problem was, like Stuart, the accuser was actually the assailant. And the list goes on and on. Sometimes the lies were to cover up a sexual indiscretion. Sometimes they were based on a witness misguided belief they must nger somebody. Sometimes, like with Stuart and Smith, the lies were to shift suspicion to someone other than themselves. Certainly people tting that stereotypical description are still accused of crimes, sometimes actually committing them. And certainly people still stereotype criminals and use that description as an easy fall back when trying to pass off a non-existent sexual assault/kidnapping/murder/robbery. But now there is a new batch of stool pigeons on the proverbial block. Prior to the mountain lion tale, a 60-year-old man in Edgartown, Mass. was charged with disorderly conducted for lying about spotting two great white sharks off a Martha Vineyards beach. The hoax closed two beaches and undoubtedly sparked numerous Jaws-inspired nightmares. Over in South Africa, baboons are being blamed for a spree of home invasions in which food is stolen. Considering the world food shortage, Im tempted to think starving humans are the real culprits. Perhaps we will never know, which is actually the real beauty in blaming animals: they arent always able to be located, let alone cross-examined. Just ask Lindy Chamberlain. In 1980, the Australian mother claimed her infant daughter was snatched from her tent by a dingo during a camping tent, never to be seen again. Chamberlain was tried, convicted of murder, ultimately vindicated and released from prison. To this day, debate remains whether the dingo was responsible

The new scapegoats (and lions,and bears,oh my!)

laming tall, black men for heinous acts is so 20th century. The new criminal beasts of burden? Animals! Case in point: This week a 50year-old man claimed a mountain lion pounced on him in a Palo Alto hills park, knocked him down an embankment, then scampered away into the great unknown. The public feared, the ofcials called in a hunter and some hounds, the news agencies went wild, the masses fought over if a mountain lion is the same thing as a cougar or a puma. But as quickly as it began, the story fell apartment when authorities said they couldnt substantiate the claim. Ofcials stopped short of calling it a whale story but announced they couldnt be certain the mans injuries were due to a wild beast. Sounds like somebody might be lying or, is that lion? In any case, had the man wanted to keep the reasons behind his injuries secret a decade or so ago, he would have had an easy patsy: the black male suspect. In 1989, Charles Stuart rst reported his pregnant wife being shot in the head by a black gunman with a raspy voice who forced his way into their car as they headed home from birthing class. The community locked their doors more religiously, black men felt eyes on them wherever they went and

Averting a rescue
Los Angeles Times
s it turns out, the takeover of IndyMac Bank last week was just a warmup exercise for federal regulators. Not that IndyMac was small potatoes the bank had $32 billion in assets, and its failure is the second largest in U.S. history. But even IndyMac pales in comparison with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored enterprises that provide funding or guarantees for about $5.2 trillion worth of loans. Thats why, when investors drove Fannies and Freddies shares down
sharply last week, the federal government had no choice but to step in. The Federal Reserve agreed to offer discounted nancing to the two companies, and the Treasury Department said it would seek Congress permission to increase their credit lines and, possibly, buy some of their shares. The moves, which helped stabilize their stocks, effectively pledged a federal bailout in the event that either or both failed. Now that taxpayers are more or less committed to pay the tab, the top priority for lawmakers and regulators should be avoiding the need for such a rescue. To calm panicky
investors, Fannie and Freddie need to increase their ability to withstand billions of dollars in loans going bad. If the stock market cant be tapped for the extra capital, the Treasury Department should be given the power to buy shares. At the same time, Congress needs to nish work on a long-delayed bill ... to improve the regulation of Fannie and Freddie. The measure also would attempt to help troubled borrowers by offering federal guarantees for renanced loans when lenders forgive some of the debt and reduce the monthly payments. The approach has some notable aws, but Washington can and
should do more to help lenders avoid foreclosures when feasible. ... Addressing the excesses that sparked the credit crisis, the Federal Reserve approved new rules Monday that would require lenders to verify subprime borrowers assets and assess their ability to repay the loans. The rules dont go as far in some important respects as AB 1830, from California Assemblyman Ted Lieu (DTorrance), which is in limbo in the state Senate. But at least the Fed is doing something about predatory lending, as late as it may be.
Budget can stop further injury to our health care

(Redding) Record Searchlight
he states 10 percent cut to Medi-Cal reimbursements will constrict the ow of care to the neediest, further clogging hospital emergency rooms and pathetically reimbursing the few doctors who agree to treat poor patients. Still, the cuts themselves are a symptom, not a disease. The real culprits are many, but the states estimated $15.2 billion decit and
the countrys broken health care system are good places to start. You cant spend what you dont have. Our partisan state lawmakers are compounding the problem by, once again, not doing their job and passing a budget. Thats the real outrage. Medi-Cals reserves are expected to run out in less than two weeks, leaving no money to reimburse the community clinics that provide critical care in our region. These are nonprot providers.
They dont have a lot of money sitting in the bank, said Doreen Bradshaw, executive director of Shasta Consortium of Community Health Centers. One doesnt have to look far to see the seriousness of this situation. The chief executive of the Eastern Plumas Health Care District, which runs a Portola hospital and clinics, told the Sacramento Bee his emergency room may close unless theres a budget by the end of this month.
With credit tighter after the mortgage crisis, clinics may also nd it harder to borrow money to keep the cash owing and the lights on. Meanwhile, theres still plenty of light (at least the electric sort) and air conditioning in Sacramento, where Republicans and Democrats show every sign of digging in for a protracted and ideological ght. Secure in their gerrymandered districts, they seem content to choose posturing over progress. What a shame. ...

Our one-party system for 2008
Editor, Barack Change you can believe in Obama and Dianne Ill support any war as long as theyre killing Arabs and I can make a buck on it Feinstein should be the dream ticket of the Democratic Party. Both Obama and Feinstein yesterday voted away our 4th Amendment and have given immunity to the people who violated that Constitutional Right, the telecom corporations. So, the choice that Americans will have for the 2008 election in our one-party system the war party is no choice. Our Senate with the help of Obama and Feinstein have turned America from a once democratic republic to a one-party (war party) fascist corpocracy.

Is gas worth more than money now?

(Los Angeles) Daily News:
measure of just how much rising gas prices are affecting our lives is a proposal from Central Valley Democrat Sen. Dean Florez to sweeten the state lottery pot. Florez has sent a letter to California Lottery ofcials suggesting that they consider doing what
Florida has done with its lottery to entice more people to play: offering free gas for life as a prize. Creative idea, maybe, but apparently not quite workable. State Lottery Director Joan Borucki says the state cant afford the plan since the law only allows a certain amount of revenue to go to prizes. And the way things are going, theres no guarantee that gas might not soon be worth more than annual 2 percent interest rate. No payment must be made for five years. After that time, the borrower will pay the principal and the accrued interest. The district will be the second signer on the loans.
Peninsula becomes a renters market

Renters in San Mateo County found they had more clout in demanding lower rents and higher perks as the ongoing tech slump continues to keep the market in their favor. We just lowered rents again today, said Elizabeth Thompson of Capital Realty Group, which manages about 190 units throughout the county. Thompson said rent was lowered $100 on 10 units because there were just no calls. The entire Bay Area showed a marked rent decrease in the second quarter of 2003 and San Mateo County fell squarely in the middle. The average monthly rent is $1,406, about 5.5 percent less than this time last year, according to tracking firm RealFacts. Much of the decrease is attributed to low demand. With the exodus out of Silicon Valley following the dot-com bust, fewer people are looking for apartments. Of the units surveyed by RealFacts in the Bay Area, 6.1 percent were empty. Vacancy data specific to San Mateo County was not available. Thompson, however, said her company has about 35 vacancies out of the 190 total.

Senate passes FBI looking into IndyMac Bancorp $48B global AIDS relief bill
By Lara jakes Jordan
By Jim Abrams
WASHINGTON The Senate has approved spending $48 billion over the next ve years to treat and prevent the spread of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria in Africa and elsewhere around the world. The legislation more than triples the current $15 billion program that has brought lifesaving drugs to some 1.7 million people with HIV/AIDS. The bill passed by a vote of 80-16. That sets up negotiations with the House on a nal compromise. President Bush has been a strong advocate for the global AIDS program.
WASHINGTON The FBI is investigating failed bank IndyMac Bancorp Inc. for possible fraud, an official said Wednesday of the governments latest target following the collapse of the nations subprime mortgage market. It was not immediately clear how long the FBIs probe of the bank has been ongoing or whether it was opened before last Fridays takeover of IndyMac by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. The investigation appears to be is focused on the company and not individuals who ran it, a law enforcement ofcial told the Associated Press. The ofcial spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation.
IndyMac Banks assets were seized by federal regulators after the mortgage lender succumbed to the pressures of tighter credit, tumbling home prices and rising foreclosures. The bank is the largest regulated thrift to fail in the last 20 years, regulators said. Across the country, reports of mortgage fraud have soared over the past year as the subprime mortgage market collapsed, and defaults and foreclosures soared. IndyMacs operations were transferred to the FDIC because bank regulators did not think the lender could meet its depositors demands. The FDIC is now running the bank under the name IndyMac Federal Bank, FSB. FDIC spokesman David Barr declined comment Wednesday. Its unclear what penalties IndyMac could face now that it has been taken over by the FDIC. Generally, companies guilty of illegal
activity can face civil charges and be forced to pay sanctions. In some cases, investigations that uncover new information can lead to focusing on new targets like individuals. But its unknown whether the FBIs case against IndyMac will do so, or how it could pursue charges against a now-defunct corporation. Shortly after the FDIC took over operations, Barr said most depositors were given immediate access to up to $100,000 in their accounts and 50 percent of any money beyond that threshold. Depositors with joint accounts or retirement accounts could immediately withdraw greater sums. Depositors were given receivership certicates for any money they couldnt immediately withdraw and may be able to receive some of that money after the banks assets are sold off.

Congress, Bush clash on control of spy secrets
WASHINGTON The Democratic-controlled Congress and President Bush are headed to yet another veto showdown this year on intelligence matters, this time on whether the president should be required to divulge to lawmakers more of the nations most closely held secrets.

Panel members also would be granted access to any details necessary to assess the value of intelligence operations.
McCain at NAACP pledges more education options

school vouchers for students in failing public schools. It is time, McCain said, to use vouchers and other tools like merit pay for teachers to break from conventional thinking on educational policy. Obama, he said, has dismissed support for private school vouchers for low-
income Americans. All of that went over well with the teachers union, but where does it leave families and their children who are stuck in failing schools? the Arizona senator asked. No entrenched bureau-
cracy or union should deny parents that choice and children that opportunity. In fact, Obama has spoken in favor of performance-based merit pay for individual public school teachers, even telling the National Education Association, the countrys largest teachers union, in a speech last year that the idea should be considered.

RNC Genter in Los Angeles. The Dow rose 276.74, or 2.52 percent, to 11,239.28. It was the blue-chips biggest one-day gain since April 1, when the index rose 391 points. On Tuesday, stocks ended mostly lower on continuing worries about the nancial sector; the Dow logged its rst close below 11,000 since July 2006. Broader stock indicators also rose Wednesday after uctuating in the early going. The S&P 500 index advanced 30.45, or 2.51 percent, to 1,245.36, and the Nasdaq rose 69.14, or 3.12 percent, to 2,284.85. Advancing issues narrowly outpaced decliners by more than 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 6.58 billion shares, down from 7.26 billion on Tuesday. While Wednesdays advance likely indicates some enthusiasm among investors, it could also reect simple bargain hunting rather than a great change in conviction. With many quarterly reports due in the coming weeks, many investors remain uncertain about the health of the economy.

Consumer prices jump in June

By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON The price of a quart of milk, a plane ticket and a host of other products rose in June at nearly the fastest pace in a generation, taking an even bigger-than-expected bite out of the buying power of Americans. In the latest shock wave to hit the economy, consumer prices rose 1.1 percent in June from the month before, far faster than the expected rate of 0.7 percent and almost double the reading from May, the Labor Department said Wednesday. The only time in the past quarter-century that monthly ination has been that high was in September 2005, when
prices jumped 1.3 percent, mostly because Hurricane Katrina shut down oil reneries and energy prices spiked. Consumer prices are up 5 percent over the last 12 months, the fastest one-year change since 1991. As prices rose last month, take-home pay took a hit. Adjusting for ination, weekly wages fell 0.9 percent in June, the third straight monthly decline and the biggest drop in almost four years. The news was the back half of a onetwo punch on ination. On Tuesday, the Labor Department reported that prices at the wholesale level were rising by the highest annual rate in 27 years. Before Congress, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke wrapped up two days of testimony and repeated his
concerns about ination, also noting the housing slump, nancial turmoil and credit troubles. We will work our way through these nancial storms, he said. The Consumer Price Index, which came out Wednesday, measures not just what Americans pay for goods but for other purchases, including services like health care and haircuts. Higher energy costs led the way, with a more than 10 percent rise in gasoline prices. More expensive vegetables, dairy and beef pushed up food costs. Core ination, the gure that excludes energy and food to measure other costs, rose by 0.3 percent in June, the fastest rise since January. Airline tickets grew almost 5 percent more expensive, the biggest rise since the summer of 2001.
Bernanke tries to settle nerves over economy

By Jeannine Aversa
THE ASSSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON When Missouri Democrat Emanuel Cleaver asked Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Wednesday when the nations nancial woes would end, he was expressing the yearning of many on Main Street and Wall Street that the yearlong pain would soon be over. Is there a bottom? And, if so, how long before we hear a splash? Cleaver asked during Bernankes testimony before the House Financial Services Committee on the problems plaguing the economy. In back-to-back appearances before Congress, Bernanke sought to soothe nerves frazzled by rising prices for food and oil, slumping home values and fal-
tering banks. We will work our way through these financial storms, Bernanke said. Bernanke focused on one of those m a e l s t r o m s Wednesday, when he Ben Bernanke said troubled mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are in no danger of failing. Trying to stem eroding investor condence in the two companies, the Treasury Department and the Fed on Sunday offered to throw them a nancial lifeline if they needed it to stay aoat. The two companies hold or guarantee more than $5 trillion in mortgages almost half of the nations total and are major sources of nancing for
the mortgage market. The Bush administration is asking Congress to temporarily increase lines of credit to Fannie and Freddie and to let the government buy their stock. The Fed has offered to let the companies draw emergency loans. Those pledges of aid have raised concerns on Capitol Hill and elsewhere about the governments role in intervening to ease such nancial troubles and the risk posed to taxpayers. The Fannie and Freddie troubles came on the heels of the failure of IndyMac Bank, which was taken over last Friday by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Earlier this year, a run on investment bank Bear Stearns pushed the company to the edge of bankruptcy and into a takeover by JPMorgan Chase, backed nancially by the Fed. Sharper growth came from PayPal, whose revenue rose 32 percent to $602 million. Revenue from its online telecommunications service, Skype, rose 51 percent to $130 million. Listings on eBays site climbed 19 percent to 667 million during the quarter, but the companys number of active users an important measure of how well the company is attracting new buyers and sellers rose only 1.4 percent to 84.5 million. Looking ahead, eBay expects thirdquarter earnings of 30 cents to 32 cents per share, or 39 cents to 41 cents per share on an adjusted basis, and $2.10 billion to $2.15 billion in revenue.
EBay 2Q profit rises 22 percent but outlook soft

NEW YORK EBay Inc. said Wednesday that its second-quarter prot jumped 22 percent, as the online auction company enjoyed strong growth in its ecommerce sites and its PayPal payments service. But eBays outlook for the current quarter was softer than analysts had been forecasting, and the auction companys shares fell 6.6 percent in after-hours trading. The stock had gained 4.5 percent in regular trading to close at $28.10. San Jose, Calif.-based eBay earned $460 million, or 35 cents per share, com-
Business brief
pared with $376 million, or 27 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter. Excluding certain items, eBay earned 43 cents per share. That beat Wall Streets forecast for 41 cents per share. EBays revenue rose 20 percent to $2.20 billion. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial had been looking for $2.17 billion in revenue. Revenue from eBays marketplaces segment, which includes eBay, Shopping.com, StubHub and other ecommerce Web sites, rose 13 percent to $1.46 billion.

The Redwood City National junior all stars held a four-run lead and were three outs away from forcing an ultimate winner-take-all nale against the Tracy American all stars in the championship series of the Section 3 tournament at Sequoia High. Redwood City could not close the deal. Tracy scored ve runs in the bottom of the seventh inning without recording an out to steal a 9-8 decision from Redwood City. The winning run scored when David MirandaGarcia put down a squeeze bunt to plate Darren Elbert to end the game and Redwood Citys season. Tracy scored ve runs on just two hits in the seventh, capitalizing on four walks and a hit batter to stun Redwood City. Despite the devastating loss, there were not many long faces and no tears shed on the part of the Redwood City players. They had nothing of which to be ashamed. After losing 12-0 to Tracy Sunday, Redwood City proved it could play with the District 67 champs. We all wanted to say we beat Tracy. The last inning, I think we were ahead of ourselves, said Redwood City starting pitcher Brian Clifford. I really wanted to prove to Tracy I could pitch. The coach came up to us (after Wednesdays game) and said we outplayed them. Clifford did everything he could to give Redwood City a chance to win. He allowed only one run on two hits through the rst four innings. He labored through the fth, allowing three runs on three hits and ran into more trouble in the sixth before reaching his pitch limit. Cliffords line 5 1/3 innings, four runs (all earned) on ve hits, with ve walks and three strikeouts. He also helped his cause by going 2 for 4 at the plate, driving in a run in the process. Awesome, was the word Redwood City manager Mark Satterlee used to describe Cliffords effort. I told him before the game it was his game to show leadership.

FREMONT The Redwood City National Little League senior all stars were looking to take another step in their remarkable journey towards a potential Section 3 tournament championship. It wasnt meant to be. National fell oh so close to forcing a winner-take-all championship game, falling to Niles-Centerville of Fremont 2-1 on Wednesday at John Gomes Elementary School. The loss put an end to a spectacular season for Redwood City, which won the District 52 title going through the losers bracket, then won three in a row in sectionals after dropping its first game. It was nice to have that adrenaline rush night after night, Redwood City coach Joe Bozzuto said. Walking away night after night with Ws was nice. Its a tough feeling to see it all end. Ah, its over, the bubble has popped. Its rough. No Sacramento (site of the divisional round) for us. For a while it looked as if National was going to force a deciding game with NilesCenterville. It scored a run in the top of the rst inning on a run-scoring double from Alex Kinder, and the lead stood up until the latter stages of the game, when Niles-Centerville scored single runs in the sixth and seventh innings. Niles-Centervilles Philip Rugani started the game-winning rally with a leadoff walk, stole second and with one out scored standing up on a single to left-center field from Casey Jennings. Just like that, Redwood Citys season was over. National starter Luis Flores pitched another gem, allowing ve hits and two runs over 6 1/3 innings before departing after reaching the maximum pitch count. Redwood City, limited to a season-low three hits, simply didnt have enough offense

San Carlos Joe DiMaggio no stranger to success

ome things never change. Like the San Carlos Joe DiMaggio baseball team winning a Peninsula South Division regular-season championship. It happened for the sixth time in seven
years last Sunday, when San Carlos completed a doubleheader sweep of San Mateo to complete an 18-4 league record. That gives San Carlos a bye into the South Division playoff championship game. It will host the winner of Fridays San Mateo-Millbrae game on Sunday at 11 a.m. As the top seed, San Carlos must be beaten twice to lose the title and an automatic berth into the Joe DiMaggio World Series in Yountville.
Even after the two longtime coaches of the program, Bud Papadakis and Tony Scoma stepped down after last season, Tony Cooper, Sr. has come in and picked up right where they left off. Winning is contagious at San Carlos, which last won the World Series in 2005. While players can often feel bored at times during the summer-league season, playoff fever ramps up the intensity in a hurry. Whereas a number of teams often feel the
pressure of postseason action, San Carlos has made the playoffs its personal domain. Its pulled off some memorable wins in the past, including last years stunning doubleheader sweep of Millbrae to win the South Division playoffs and earn a World Series berth. San Carlos entered that day needing to win twice, because Millbrae was the No. 1 seed, having taken the regular-season series from

Giants still very much in NL West chase

By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO The San Francisco Giants have yet to produce the kind of run teams count on when theyre in the playoff race. They have been downright lousy at home. The thing is, the entire NL West faced its share of struggles in the seasons rst half. And home run king Barry Bonds with his 762 clouts is nowhere to be seen in this division or any other. The Giants are in third place with a 40-55 record at the All-Star break, trailing the leading Arizona Diamondbacks by seven games and second-place Los Angeles Dodgers by six. Giants general manager Brian Sabean and manager Bruce Bochy both believe this team is capable of a nice winning streak soon. Whoever gets hot in the second half is going to be the team that takes off, center fielder Aaron Rowand said. Weve been playing pretty good baseball. Its all about consistency. This divisions up for
grabs in the second half. Its whoever takes hold of it. Its going to be fun. Yet the Giants lost seven of 10 to end the rst half and dropped a recent home series to the rival Dodgers. They own the majors worst home record at 17-28 and have only four victories in the past 15 games at their waterfront ballpark. The Seattle Mariners at 19-27 are the only other team with fewer than 20 home victories. San Francisco will have to nd a way to have more success in their own park. The Giants havent had a winning homestand since a 6-3 showing last Aug. 21-29. They havent reached the playoffs since 2003. The problems at home are perplexing to Bochy and everybody involved. And the club could have a tough decision to make later this month when veteran outelder Dave Roberts returns from his rehab assignment in the minors after recovering from left knee surgery. Fred Lewis has been a reliable option in left eld and has provided speed and a spark at the top of the batting order.
Aaron Rowand
Whoever gets hot in the second half is going to be the team that takes off.
All parties have a lot to be proud of, Sabean said. The veterans have stepped up and have been good with leadership. The kids have been given an opportunity and held their own and, in fact, excelled. The dilemma is how many atbats they get at the end of the day. Some of these guys are going to have to go to winter ball because they are here and not playing every day and have to make up that time. Eleven players made their major league debuts for the Giants in the rst half. The teams pitching staff has been the most consistent, despite the major struggles of $126 million lefthander Barry Zito. The 2002 AL Cy Young Award winner has been a dis-
appointment and is eager to get back on track after the break. Hes 4-12 with a 5.62 ERA in 19 starts but has pitched only 97 2-3 innings. Zito has been better of late, so the Giants see that as a positive sign. Yet in a rotation missing injured left-hander Noah Lowry, Matt Cain, All-Star Tim Lincecum and Jonathan Sanchez each have 100plus strikeouts the rst time in San Francisco history three pitchers have reached the mark before the All-Star break. Closer Brian Wilson, the teams other All-Star along with Lincecum, has been solid, too. He was among the best in baseball in the ninth inning in the rst half, converting an NL-best 25 saves in 28 opportunities. Were in this thing. Weve got to get some consistency and get on a roll here, Bochy said. I think with the pitching, Im very encouraged where Barry Zito is, Matt Cain, Timmy, (Kevin) Correia. We have the rotation that can get us on a roll and we can run off a nice winning streak. The Giants certainly are hoping for more offensively from 41-year-
old, 11-time Gold Glove shortstop Omar Vizquel. While he is having some better at-bats, Vizquels late start to the season following knee surgery in spring training shows most glaringly in his .159 batting average (24-for-151) and Sabean might even eld trade offers for Vizquel considering the emergence of rookie infielder Emmanuel Burriss. Sabean isnt ready to say what he might do as the trading deadline approaches later this month. We still have to get to .500 and be more consistent, especially at home, he said. Efforts not the problem. We need to start the second half off running. Bochy insists he will ll out his lineup card with the players he feels are best each game. We know this is a critical stretch that could determine how the season goes. Well keep throwing the guys out there and play the team that gives us the best chance to win that day, he said. Were here to win, thats how we want these guys playing. We tell them, Dont be afraid to make a mistake.
Duchscherer is As biggest surprise

OAKLAND Sometime last winter, manager Bob Geren and general manager Billy Beane began discussing the Athletics starting rotation for this season. Justin Duchscherer, selected to the AL All-Star Game as a relief pitcher in 2005, was one of those pitchers they talked about adding to the mix. And what a move it has been. Oakland sits in second place in the AL West at 51-44 and six games behind the Los Angeles Angels heading into the seasons second half. Thats in spite of injuries to key players such as sixtime Gold Glove third baseman Eric Chavez and designated hitters Frank Thomas and Mike Sweeney. It was a joint effort, said Geren, who managed Duchscherer in the minors and has seen his success as a starter and reliever. We just expected
him to throw strikes, mix up his pitches and use more of his pitches. No one could have predicted the kind of success Duchscherer has enjoyed so far Justin Duchscherer this season, taking the ALs best ERA at 1.82 and a 10-5 record into the All-Star break. We know hes a good pitcher but I wouldnt say we knew hed be this good, As second baseman Mark Ellis said. Hes been outstanding if not the best in the league. Its pretty clear to me that pitching has kept us in it. During an offseason in which there were more questions than answers regarding the pitching staff, Duchscherer has been a blessing to
Oaklands chances in the AL West. In the 192 games in which Duchscherer had pitched for the As entering the season, only three were starts and all in 2003. Originally drafted as a starter by the Boston Red Sox in 1996, he was converted into a reliever by the As for the 2004 season. He gets to use all of his pitches, Geren said. As a reliever you really only use one or two pitches because youre only going to see hitters once. Hes one of three Oakland pitchers among the top 12 in AL ERA. The As lead the majors with a team ERA of 3.39. Greg Smith is 10th with his 3.43 ERA. Dana Eveland, acquired in the trade that sent ace Dan Haren to the Arizona Diamondbacks last December, ranks 12th at 3.49. Its impressive how they do it, Seattle Mariners outelder Willie Bloomquist said. Sometimes you just sit there and go, Why did they trade
away that guy? and then all of a sudden here comes three prospects that are just dealing right along and lling their shoes. Thats what Oakland is all about. The As also are the only team with three pitchers among the top 16 in opponent batting average. Duchscherer (.186) and Eveland (.247) are joined in that one again by Smith (.230), who also was obtained in the Haren deal. We can pitch and we can catch the ball, Ellis said. Pitching gives us a chance and we have just enough hitting. Eveland and Smith have been great so far and they havent touched their potential. They have been huge for us. The pitching has masked Oaklands offensive problems so far. Without Chavez, Sweeney, Thomas or Travis Buck for much of the year, the As are hitting .249, ahead of only Cleveland in the AL.
And those are guys in the middle of the lineup, Ellis said. Weve been able to sustain without them. The guys who have been called upon do a good job. Batting average is the most overrated stat. You get on base and you get timely hitting. The As starting lineup at the break barely resembles the projected opening day lineup from back in late March, when the team opened the season against the Red Sox in Tokyo. Ellis, rst baseman Daric Barton, left elder Jack Cust and catcher Kurt Suzuki remain the same. Jack Hannahan took over for Chavez at third, Ryan Sweeney and Carlos Gonzalez have become mainstays in the outeld in place of Buck and Emil Brown and Donnie Murphy gets the nod at short as Bobby Crosby joined the disabled list recently. Eight different players have been used as the designated hitter.

The real threat at Royal Birkdale is the wind

By Doug Ferguson
SOUTHPORT, England Adam Scott and Justin Rose, friends since they were teenagers and top contenders in this British Open without Tiger Woods, passed each other on the putting green Wednesday and stopped to discuss their nal day of preparation. Did you play? Rose said. Nine holes, Scott said with a smile, his hand on the bill of his cap to keep it from blowing off. Not much point today. That was more than Rose had on his agenda four closing holes at Royal Birkdale that was all he would need to experience the relentless, 25 mph wind off the Irish Sea. The loop includes the 439-yard 16th, where some players struggled to reach the fairway that is only about 210 yards from the tee. It concludes with the 473-yard 18th, where Geoff Ogilvy hit sand wedge for his second shot. Throw in the other holes, and a links course known as being the most fair has become a real beast. Its just survival, anyway, Rose said. Theres not a whole bunch you can learn out there. It is just brutally tough, and youve just got to go out there and deal with it on the day. For all the bluster about this British Open being easier without Woods around, the difculty has nothing to do with the absence of any one player. The real threat arrived Wednesday in the strongest wind of the week, with no evidence it is leaving anytime soon. The wind is affecting the ball 20, 30, 40 yards at times, Scott said. Its hard at the best of times. Steve Stricker played his first practice round Sunday in a gentle breeze and hit 8-iron into the 421yard second hole. In his nal nine
holes of practice Wednesday, he hit a 3-wood. Then came the sixth hole, a severe dogleg to the right at 499 yards that turns toward the sea. Stricker studied his yardage book, felt the wind blasting into his face, and felt his only chance was to hit driver off the deck. And he still couldnt reach the green. Thats what I mean by challenging, Stricker said. The way its blowing, theres not a lot of opportunities to make birdies. Hunter Mahan, longer off the tee than Stricker, had to rip a 3-wood to reach the sixth green. I told Hunter that its a good thing he transferred to Oklahoma State from USC, said fellow Cowboy alum Scott Verplank. Because you learn to keep the ball down in the wind. And thats going to help you this week. The British Open gets under way Thursday at Royal Birkdale and rarely has it been this wide open. Woods is out for the rest of the year after reconstructive surgery on his left knee, and Padraig Harrington might have withdrawn with his ailing right wrist if this werent the British Open and he wasnt the defending champion. Ill be apprehensive hitting any shot, Harrington said. The betting favorites are Sergio Garcia and Ernie Els, who have been threats at golfs oldest championship most of the decade, with Rose the sentimental favorite as he tries to become the rst English winner on an English links since Tony Jacklin in 1969. Rose was a 17-year-old amateur in 1998 when he chipped in for birdie on the nal hole to tie for fourth. Mark OMeara won that year in a playoff over Brian Watts, after both nished an even-par 280 during a week or rain and wind that might not be much different.

Defending British Open champion Padraig Harrington chases after a ball during the nal practice round Wednesday.
The Royal & Ancient sounded delighted by the forecast. I think all is set for tomorrow for perhaps a windier championship than weve had in recent years, R&A chief executive Peter Dawson said. The forecast seems to be moving the wind speeds up slowly but surely, and I think were going to have a bit of breeze for once, which is good to look forward to. Try telling that to Paul Goydos, who couldnt reach the 11th fairway Wednesday morning. He wasnt the
only player who stopped a few yards short of the fairway to search in the wispy rough for their tee shots. Dawson said ofcials might play the front of some of the tees, but they would not move the markers to forward tees. He gures these guys really are good, and a bit of wind never hurt anything. Im usually answering questions about the ball going too far, he said. The wind might explain why there was so little activity on the course or on the practice range on the eve of this championship. This was no time for anyone to be searching for a swing key, and there wasnt much to gain, anyway. You work on the one shot you might have straight into the wind at 40 mph, Verplank said. The downwind holes present their own set of problems. Verplank has moderate length at best, and it was rare for him to try to carry a pot bunker some 320 yards off the tee with a 3-wood, which is what he attempted. And if all that isnt enough to toy with their minds, players have to wait until the 15th hole before the rst par 5. The hole is only 544 yards, but into this wind, Craig Parry hit driver for his second shot simply to stay short of the greenside bunkers. This is the toughest golf course Ive played on the Open rota, said Masters champion Trevor Immelman, who has played five other links courses in this major. This is going to be a great test this week, especially with some of the weather thats been forecast. The guy who wins this tournament on Sunday is going to be very deserving of it. This golf course is going to give you everything you want.

Wambach injury mars U.S. win over Brazil
SAN DIEGO The result was meaningless. The injury to leading scorer Abby Wambach could have much larger implications for the United States.
Wambach was carted off the eld with an apparent left leg injury Wednesday night after a violent collision in the rst half of the Americans 1-0 win over Brazil. There was still no word of the extent of her injury after the match. Womens team spokesman Aaron Heifetz said Wambach had been taken to a local hospital for X-rays. The injury came just three weeks before the U.S. team is scheduled to open defense of its
Olympic title on Aug. 6 against Norway. Natasha Kai, who replaced Wambach at striker after the injury, scored the only goal on a header in the 84th minute off a free kick from Carli Lloyd. The win raised the Americans 2008 record to 21-0-1 and extended their home unbeaten streak to 31. The U.S. team beat Brazil 1-0 on Sunday at Commerce City, Colo. It was the fourth U.S. win in ve matches by a 1-0 score.
Wambach, the United States top goal scorer, collided with Andrei Rosa as they were both going for the ball in the 33rd minute. Wambach and Rosa both went down. Wambach immediately began signaling to the sideline that she was hurt. Wambach was on the turf for nearly 6 minutes and appeared to be in pain. Paramedics tted her left leg with an inatable brace and carted her off to an ambulance.

San Carlos. However, that mattered little as San Carlos routed Millbrae in Game 1 before pulling away for a 10-6 victory in Game 2. Playing free and loose, San Carlos showed it could win in a different way as the underdog instead of as an overwhelming favorite. I think winning the playoffs this year has a lot to do with our history, then-coach Papadakis said afterwards. Even though we have a lot of new players, these guys are used to winning big games, and they want to carry that tradition on. San Carlos new coach recognizes that, too. Of course you want to carry on that tradi-
tion, Cooper said. All the new kids who come here know San Carlos has a winning tradition. Its up to us to keep it up. Even though Cooper is in his rst year at the summer powerhouse program, hes familiar with most of the players. Cooper was the coach of San Carlos 11-and-12-year-old Little League team that in 2002 came close to advancing to the Western Regionals, one step away from the Little League World Series, making it one of the deepest runs by a team in District 52 history. Cooper and most of the players stayed together with San Carlos Pony team in the next two years, and they enjoyed immense success, winning sectionals and regionals both times. Cooper said ve or six players from that Little League team are on his current squad, making the experience all the more enjoyable. Six years removed from that run coming home on an error. Another walk loaded the bases and the third free pass of the inning brought in another run and Tracy was down only two, 8-6. Chase Johnson was grazed by a pitch to bring home the third run of the inning, ending Coes day. Oliver Contento was brought to the mound and he walked in the tying the run. After ball one to Miranda-Garcia, Satterlee was forced to bring in Ryan Perkins, who he was hoping to save for a possible championship game Thursday. On Perkins second pitch, Miranda-Garcia put the bunt down to end the game. We ran out of pitching, basically, Satterlee said. pointed to Flores performance and two highlight-reel defensive plays as game-changing plays. Niles-Centerville had a runner at rst base with two out in the bottom of the rst when Robert Higares hit a double that went all the way to the fence in left-center eld. With Jay Haak being waved home, National center elder Zeke Edwards made a perfect throw to shortstop Nick Brown, who made a perfect relay to catcher Kinder to nail Haak at home plate. In the fth, Edwards made another sensational play, somehow coming up with a diving
memorable Little League run, Cooper was asked whats the difference between the kids back then and now? They were smarter when they were 11 and 12, Cooper said with a laugh. They all need hearing aids now. We had a lot of good memories, thats for sure. Theyre looking to create many more. San Carlos has a strong pitching corps, spearheaded by Zak Edgington, Jarrod Hopper, Anthony Armanino, Zack Turner, Garrett Treadwell and Devin Bradley. Cooper said he doesnt have a clear ace but that Bradley and Edgington have been pitching excellent of late. With a wealth of arms, Cooper doesnt have to worry too much about running out of pitching come tournament time. San Carlos is loaded with position players as well. Some of the key stalwarts in the lineup include second baseman Tony Cooper, Before Tracys rally, it appeared Redwood City was set to play another game. It took a 10 lead with a run in the top of the rst inning. Nick Gasparini singled and went to third on an errant pickoff attempt. He scored on Cliffords single to right eld. Tracy tied the game in the bottom of the inning but Redwood City re-took the lead in the second. With one out, Contento blasted a double to the right-center eld gap and scored on a Gasparini single. Redwood City increased its lead to 3-1 in the third when Anthony Hillerby stole home on the back end of a double steal and made it 5-1 with a tworun fourth. Andrew Holm, who had walked, grab in shallow right-center as his cap ew off, preventing a run from scoring. Alas, it wasnt enough. Flores was dealing, keeping Niles-Centerville off-balanced with an assortment of slow curveballs and change-ups. He mixed in fastballs on occasion to keep the home side honest, and it almost earned National a victory. Bozzuto was particularly proud of his team for playing its best baseball at the most important time of the season.

third baseman Matt Watkins, left elder David Dipaola and catcher Kevin Timko. Hopper and Edgington are double threats, possessing potent bats to go along with their strong performances on the mound. How powerful is the San Carlos lineup? Cooper said half of his lineup is batting over .500. Talk about some serious sticks. My job is pretty easy, Cooper said. I just have to put guys in the right spots. Those guys are doing all the work. Were at the most exciting time of the year. Im sure guys are going to turn it up a notch because all of them want to go and play in the state tournament. It would be disappointing if we didnt go. Fortunately for San Carlos, it hasnt had to deal with that situation very often.

Garrett Coe replaced him and worked out of the jam, getting a strikeout and yout to deep center eld to put Redwood City in position to win the game. In the seventh inning, however, Coe couldnt nd the strike zone. He gave up a leadoff walk, a single and a elders choice, with a

Tracy nally got to Clifford in the fth, scoring three runs on three hits but Redwood City responded with three runs on one hit and two errors in the top of the sixth. Gasparini and Coe both scored on an error and Nick Hillerby drove in the Redwood Citys nal run with a sacrice y to right. In the end, however, it wasnt enough. [We] came to play.

These guys played their hearts out. In the end we did everything right, and thats why its so tough to see things end. We would have had Erik (Baxter) ready to go (for today had there been a game). We were set up exactly the way we wanted. The story was going just as we wanted, and we were following the script. I was hoping we could keep going.

Oden of the Portland Trail Blazers. Im speechless, Barkley said, drawing laughter. Its just so awesome. This is so amazing. Barkley threw for 35 touchdowns and 3,576 yards in 11 games last season for Mater Dei, also Leinarts alma mater. Hell follow Leinart in heading to USC, where Leinart was 37-2 as a starter, leading the Trojans to consecutive national championships and winning the Heisman Trophy. Hes told me some stories about USC and Coach (Pete) Carroll, Barkley said. Ive been there on campus, so its not like Im entering a whole new world. Barkley averaged 325 yards and 3.2 touchdowns and was selected a Parade Magazine player of the year in 2007. He owns a 3.77 grade-point average and raises money for families of wounded and fallen Marines. Hes such a phenomenal kid, just what he does on and off the eld, Leinart said. The pressure for him is going to be huge. The one thing I can tell Matt is just to remain humble and to work hard. When you get to that level, just like when you get to the NFL level, the guys at every position are just as good. What separates you from those guys is your hard work and dedication off the eld.

I love it, said Price, who received her trophy from Felix, 2004 winner Candace Parker of the Los Angeles Sparks and retired soccer star Mia Hamm. Felix, a two-time world champion in the 200, is headed to next months Beijing Olympics, where Price will be watching her and the 800 runners. She said she knows shes going to see me at the next level, Price said, and when I get there, just remember to be cool and what is important to me.

Many remain priced out of housing market

By Alex Veiga
LOS ANGELES Doug Gylfe still cant afford to buy a home in Torrance, Calif., despite a 23 percent drop in prices. And Congress isnt helping. Thats the dilemma this week for the nations lawmakers and millions of Americans who are priced out of homeownership: any rescue policy to stem foreclosures could articially prop up home prices and perpetuate the affordability crisis in many major cities coast to coast. In spite of the downturn in the housing market...affordability continues to be the No. 1 housing challenge, said Rachel Drew, research analyst at Harvard Universitys Joint Center for Housing Studies. In Torrance, the coastal city 16 miles south of Los Angeles where Gylfe lives, the median home price in his Zip code has fallen from a peak of $830,000 two years ago to $636,000. But thats still twice what Gylfe can afford on his salary as a real estate appraiser. Ive lived here since I was about 10 years old, so I really like it, said Gylfe, 53. I would stay here in a heartbeat if I could afford something. Lawmakers, however, appear more focused on the negative economic consequences of falling home prices than the benets.
Any rescue policy to stemforeclosures could articially prop up home prices and perpetuate the affordability crisis in many major cities coast to coast.
Congress is, in a way, facing a real estate Hydra: declining home prices, rising foreclosures, tighter lending standards, higher interest rates, and industry layoffs. Yet while trying protect the economy and honest homeowners who were suckered into bad loans, Congress may cut off one of the serpents heads, only to see two grow back. Its very difcult, from a practical perspective, to implement policy prescriptions that are (metro) focused, said Sam Chandan, chief economist for Reis Inc., a New Yorkbased real estate research rm. And while most economists agree the imminent threat to the economy and nancial system are great, Edward Leamer says, The
folks who sat on the sidelines, they should feel legitimately annoyed that the more speculative folks who bought homes they couldnt afford are going to be bailed out or helped by the federal government. Leamer, a senior economist at the University of California, added, And these other folks (who) acted responsibly and didnt get in over their heads and decided they didnt want to buy the home, theyre not getting any benet. This week, the House and Senate are patching together a bill for President George Bushs signature that would let the Federal Housing Administration insure up to $300 billion in new loans to help struggling homeowners avoid foreclosure, among other initiatives. Lawmakers also are considering earmarking $3.9 billion in funding to help buy and rehabilitate foreclosed properties, giving rsttime buyers a tax credit up to $8,000, and propping up mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The initiatives could help thousand of homeowners renance their mortgages and avoid foreclosure, and sop up some of the bank-owned properties that are driving down home prices in some neighborhoods. But by supporting home prices, the government is also short-circuiting a correction in home values that some say is necessary to bring prices closer in line with incomes for most working-class families.
SoCal home prices drop 29.3 percent in June

By Elliot Spagat
SAN DIEGO Southern California home prices plunged 29.3 percent in June compared to a year ago, as tightening mortgage markets put a drag on the housing industry, a real estate tracking rm said Wednesday. DataQuick Information Systems said the median price for new and resale homes and condominiums stood at $355,000 last month in a six-county region, down from $502,000 in June 2007. The median price fell 4.1 percent from $370,000 in May. Driven by the sale of foreclosed homes, sales picked up from May to hit a 10-month high, but last months tally still marked the slowest June since DataQuick began keeping statistics in 1988. The June average is 28,488 sales, with the peak reached in 2005 when 40,156 homes sold. A total of 17,424 homes and condos were
sold last month, up 3 percent from May but down nearly 14 percent from June 2007. DataQuick president John Walsh said the market has been slowed as the availability of mortgages has tightened. The mortgage market turbulence is putting quite a bit of activity on hold, he said. Even some very well-qualied households arent getting mortgages these days, although this could all change fast if liquidity comes back. Dustin Hobbs, a spokesman for the California Mortgage Bankers Association, blamed the lack of funds on investors who have grown wary of acquiring mortgagebacked securities amid the governmentbacked bailout of Bear Stearns Cos. and other cases. Mortgages are seen as a risky investment even if thats largely the result of bad headlines, Hobbs said. Bob Hamidi, an Orange County-based real estate agent, said few of the potential buyers he represents have the spotless credit histories, large down-payments and other requirements now demanded by jittery lenders.
He said buyers who cant afford to purchase houses outright or who dont qualify for loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration are largely shut out of the market. Were getting limited to people who want to pay cash who have put money aside and want to make an investment or rst-time home buyers who t the guidelines of FHA, Hamidi said. DataQuick also found that foreclosure sales continued to drive the market in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Orange counties. DataQuick said more than 41 percent of homes resold in June had been in foreclosure during the previous 12 months. That was up from about 39 percent in May and up from about 7 percent a year earlier. The median price has fallen because of depreciation, especially in inland markets, and because of the steep drop in home nancing in the jumbo category, which until recently was dened as loans above $417,000, DataQuick said.

Home sales, median prices in June in selected Southern California counties:

Before the credit crunch hit in August 2007, nearly 40 percent of Southern California sales were nanced with jumbo loans. Jumbos last month accounted for 16.3 percent of sales in the region up from 15.7 percent in May, according to DataQuick.

school is one too many, and the data reveal a disturbingly high dropout rate for Latinos and African Americans. But, the dropout rate itself is only part of the story. Now, using the studentlevel data we will have a much clearer picture of why students drop out, state Superintendent Jack OConnell said in a prepared statement. An estimated 1,118 ninth through 12th students dropped out of school during 2006-2007. The Sequoia Union High School District saw the biggest drop with 270 students 109 of which are students who reportedly left to transfer to another public school, but were not found to be enrolled in one. Jefferson High School saw the largest drop for a single institution with 56 students, followed by Westmoor High with 50 and Menlo-Atherton High with 45. By grade level, Westmoor lost the most freshmen, 29; Jefferson lost the most sophomores, 8, juniors, 7, and seniors, 35. San Mateo High also saw a large loss in seniors 25. Locally, the numbers reinforce what test scores showing many of the students struggling in classes are the same ones who are dropping out. These numbers will help administrators target at-risk students. Results can be broken down in a number of different ways gender, ethnicity, grade, explained Matt Biggar, associate superintend-
Dropout numbers
The rst four numbers are the dropouts for individual grades following the progression of high school: freshman, sophomore, junior and senior. The fth number is the total dropouts from ninth to twelfth grades. The sixth number is the number of students which reenrolled into another school. The seventh number is the number of students classied as lost transfers. Lost transfers are students who reported as having transferred to another California public school but were not found enrolled in another California public school.

The Redwood City Elementary School District showed the most signicant numbers in this area with 42 seventh graders and 26 eighth graders dropping out. Efforts to create a system to track dropout rates was the result of Senate Bill 1453 by former state Sen. Dede Alpert, D-San Diego, which was passed in 2002. As a result, all California students were given a unique, but not personally-identiable SSID. Information generated from the SSID was used to calculate of grand theft by false pretenses.

Landscaping goes miniature in containers

By Lisa A. Flam
NEW YORK Forget planting geraniums in a whiskey barrel: The humble world of container gardening has gone upscale. Container gardening is the fastestgrowing area of nurseries, says John Trax Jr., past president of the Garden Center America trade group. Nurseries are creating custom pots and seasonal arrangments, while books detail highly designed plantings that some consider an art form. Im doing it more and more and more, says Jan Johnsen, a landscape designer in Bedford Hills, N.Y., whose clients with containers include Bill and Hillary Clinton. When we design swimming pools and outdoor seating areas, the plan is not complete unless we include pots of summer owering plants. Planting flowers, plants, trees, shrubs, ornamental grass, herbs or vegetables in a pot is touted as a quick and low-maintenance way to add something beautiful to the landscape because weeds typically do not grow. Its also great for people short on time or space. While the method has been around for decades, the more highly designed arrangements have come into style in about the past 10 years. Its not just growing plants in pots, but thinking about color, line, form and texture and turning it into a little bit of an art exercise, says Ray
Tips for container gardens

Containers are a popular do-it-yourself project, or they can be done by a landscape designer or gardener.
Rogers, author of Pots in the Garden. People have been container gardening forever. Now its more adventuresome. A lot more effort is put into it. Planted pots can go on a patio, around a pool, near a front door or gate. They can also be put right into a plant bed or used to create a focal point in a garden. Properties may have one or two pots, or 50 or 100 to add drama. While the whiskey barrel and strawberry jar planters that became popular decades ago are still around, pots are available in wood, stone, iron, ceramics, metal, cement, terra cotta clay and synthetics made to look like heavier, more expensive materials like lead and zinc. Pots are sold for anywhere from $2 to $1,000, Rogers says. And the plants that go inside have also grown up. It used to be you put a bunch of geraniums in a pot and that was acceptable, says Johnsen, of Johnsen Landscapes & Pools. Now of course, the range and the variety of plants we can put into pots have increased exponentially. A formal garden may call for a stone pot on top of a pedestal. A cottage garden may have profuse, lush plantings. Modern pots at a contemporary home often hold ornamental grass. Pots surrounding a pool tend to feature tropical plantings, such as bird of paradise or hibiscus. A frontdoor arrangement may showcase a formal topiary. Containers are a popular do-ityourself project, or they can be done by a landscape designer or gardener as part of a larger project. Most retail nurseries have container gardening supplies, and some have staff to design and plant the pots. Nurseries also sell pre-potted mixed and singlespecies container gardens.
To create a beautiful container garden, landscape designer Jan Johnsen recommends using plants with contrasting leaf textures and varying growth habits. She suggests three different kinds of plants to a pot, including a tall element in the middle like a tree and a trailing plant over the edge to droop over the sides. Or try the no-fail method of sticking to one kind of plant, like impatiens or straw ower. Color is also key: A pot can be lled with soft, romantic colors like pink and lavender, or bold hues like red and purple. Johnsen says an eye-catching combination is a pot of primary colors red, blue and yellow. Or a monochromatic look, such as all white owers with lots of green foliage, will brighten up a shady corner. Johnsen, nursery manager Michele Terlizzi and Ray Rogers, author of Pots in the Garden, had these 10 tips for planting and caring for container gardens: 1. Decide where the pots are going. The choice of plantings depends on whether theyre going in shady or sunny spots. 2. Choose pots that suit the style of your house and garden or a whim, and plantings to go in them. Plants can share a container if they have the same need for sunlight or shade.
3. While pots are generally low maintenance, they require more watering than an inground garden because the plants absorb water faster. If you are going on vacation, invest in a plant sitter to water once or twice a week. 4. Add a slow-release fertilizer to help plants continue blooming all summer. 5. Watch the weight: Once a pot is planted, it can get heavy and collapse a deck or be difcult to move. 6. Make sure the pot has a hole for drainage, which prevents root rot. Most, but not all, pots come with holes. A hole can be drilled into certain types of pots like plastic and wood. 7. Add pot feet to raise the pot to help with drainage. 8. Try different combinations in your pots. If you dont like it, you can easily change it. 9. Fear not: Dont be afraid to make a mistake, says Rogers. The thing I see so much is people come into a nursery and very timidly say, Does this look good together? If you like it, by all means do it. 10. If youre working with a landscape designer or nursery to create your pots, ask for the rates and to see a sample of their work. Some nurseries dont charge to plant the pots if you buy the materials from them; others do.

cial police unit called the Community Action Team to run the new renters out of town by pressuring landlords and housing authority officials to evict black tenants receiving vouchers. The lawsuit also accused Antioch police of illegally searching tenants homes without search warrants. Antioch ofcials released an unsigned statement Wednesday denying the allegations and defending the special police unit, which it said was created in July 2006 in response to neighborhood demands for help in dealing with growing crime rates and persistent neighborhood problems. The city called the proshould face greater regulations. You have to take a step back and ask what have we done here? Tons of people have made a lot of money off Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The taxpayers in the end should not be putting this all back together again, Speier said. What weve seen here is deregulation sets the stage for those who think they can be clever and greedy and at the same time do great injustice to the system. In her brief three months in Congress, Speier has introduced one bill to create a national speed limit of 60 mph. The plan, similar, to one passed during the 1970s gas crisis is bar none one of the best ways to save money at the gas pump, increase supplies and save lives, Speier said. Speier cites gures from the Environmental Protection Agency that state gas mileage decreases rapidly after 60 mph. For those driving a Ford Taurus or Toyota Camry, which averages 25 miles per gallon on the highway, the difference between driving Light, sweet crude for August delivery dropped $4.14 to settle at $134.60 a barrel on the Nymex.

We believe that any objective review of our citys policing efforts will reveal that these efforts are focused exclusively on criminal and/or dangerous behavior, the statement said. Claims of other, sinister motivations are untrue and irresponsible. Two black women who rented homes in Antioch said at a press conference that police used domestic violence complaints they led in attempts to get the women evicted. 60 mph and 70 mph results in a yearly savings of over $250. For pickup truck drivers, that increases to $470 and SUV drivers would save in excess of $750, according to Speier. More importantly, it lowers the amount of gas the country is using, increases supplies and likely lowers the price of oil, Speier said. Speier, however, is aware more needs to be done to x the countys energy situation. She suggests releasing some of the federal Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which is currently at 97 percent capacity. President George H.W. Bush did so while the country was heavily involved in Bosnia and President Clinton did so during the Gulf War, Speier said. Her speed limit plan, combined with other ideas like releasing some of the SPR would prevent the need for offshore drilling, she said. In addition, Speier wants oil produced here to stay within the country and not be shipped to other places, such as China, she said. Meanwhile, she maintains committed to $3.2794 a gallon on the Nymex, while August heating oil futures slid 7.8 cents to settle at $3.841 a gallon.

College residence halls go green with students

By Megan K. Scott
NEW YORK This fall, students at Sarah Lawrences Warren Green hall will be composting together, monitoring their electricity usage and drying their laundry on a clothesline. They will share appliances, cooking and shopping to reduce waste and energy, and use electric light as little as possible. And rising junior Josh Butler, 20, couldnt be happier to live there. It means a lot to me that the college is thinking about this really seriously, says the co-founder of Sustainable SLC (Sarah Lawrence College), which partnered with the school on the green residence house. Its very different if its just students working for this as opposed to it being a joint effort. Most colleges have been environmentally conscious for years, with campus cleanups and recycling efforts that are often led by students. But now they are focusing on where students live, creating green residence halls that are becoming a hot destination for eco-minded students.
We decided that rather than tear down and haul all the concrete and structural steel to the landll,that it would be more environmentally responsible to rebuild it using the existing structure ...It has common bathrooms,but the structure was good.
George Herbst,vice president and treasurer of Sarah Lawrence College
While many keep green in mind when building new residence halls, some are taking it a step further, renovating student housing to make them more sustainable and implementing programs to promote permanent lifestyle changes. Wake Forest University has installed Energy Star appliances, low-ow shower heads and watersaving toilets in its student housing. Emory Universitys Turman Hall displays energy consumption for the entire building on a monitor in the lobby. While residents can individually control the temperature setting in their room, it has to be within the universitys approved thermostat settings. Prospective parents and students are asking about sustainability, says Mark Cunningham, director of hous-
ing and dining at University of California, San Diego, which conducts focus groups at high schools. Colleges brag about their Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certicate from the U.S. Green Building Council, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprot. There are 236 LEED-certied buildings on college campuses, and another 1,547 campus buildings are LEED-registered, which means they are pursuing certication. Rollins College spent about $8.5 million renovating the 200-bed Ward Hall, with two-thirds raised through donations and charitable gifts, said George Herbst, Vice President and Treasurer of the College. We decided that rather than tear down and haul all the concrete and structural steel to the landll, that it
would be more environmentally responsible to rebuild it using the existing structure, says Herbst. It has common bathrooms, but the structure was good. The LEED system gives credit for reusing structural elements and materials, but renovating does pose challenges, says Baird Dixon, principal with Street Dixon Rick Architecture, which designed ve new green residence halls at Vanderbilt University. There is more planning involved many old buildings arent built to current codes and additional resources may be needed to restore a building to its original condition. At Vanderbilt, which renovated and built new residence halls, nding large quantities of renewable resources, such as bamboo ooring,
was challenging, and a great deal of time, energy and analysis went into determining whether to use graywater, which was ultimately rejected. While going green saves money in the long run by reducing energy and water usage, it comes at a price, says Cunningham. Raise costs too much and students will move off campus. It puts a lot of pressure on us because room and board rates are part of affordability to live on campus, he says. You have to build a building. The greener you want to make it, the more money you have to spend on it. We look for alternative funding, but its a challenge. Some of UCSDs initiatives include purchasing green furniture, providing reusable plasticware in the cafes and dining halls, and giving out individual recycling baskets for each resident. Furniture is handed down to nonprots and the school purchases from local vendors when possible. Cunningham says the school uses their green initiatives to teach students about how to be environmentally conscious so when they leave campus, they think about things like using green ooring.

From post-apocalyptic to ponys

Video game industry tries to broaden its appeal with different genres
By Barbara Ortutay
LOS ANGELES A tough little blob must splash color over a town wallowing in gray. Bug-eyed rabbits do a dance routine. And then theres the perfect equine farm of wild horses for little girls to tame and train. These video games dont sound like anything that would grab a teenage boys attention, and thats the point. They are part of an important expansion of the video game industry as it works to pull in women, girls and other demographics and cement its place as mainstream entertainment. A year ago at the E3 Media and Business Summit here in Los Angeles, Nintendo Co. declared that anyone can be a gamer, and that the company would break down the divide between hardcore players and those just beginning to dabble in interactive entertainment. While the divide still exists, games for people who dont t into the stalwart category of 18to-34-year-old men are a fast-growing segment of the $18 billion U.S. video game market. Analyst Michael Pachter of Wedbush Morgan estimates that ve years ago, up to 90 percent of gamers were the core audience of young men. Today, its more like 60 to 70 percent. To be sure, much of the focus in the video game industry is still on games like the upcoming Fallout 3, set in a postapocalyptic Washington, D.C., where players can kill the enemy in ridiculously violent ways, as its executive producer, Todd Howard of Bethesda Softworks, put it. But big companies like Nintendo, Microsoft Corp., Electronic Arts Inc. and Ubisoft Entertainment SA have realized the enormous growth potential of massmarket games. A quarter of Ubisofts worldwide sales of $1.5 billion came
The videogame industry is expanding to pull in women and girls with games like Wii Music, above, while still keeping the focus on titles that are working like Fallout 3, top of page,which is geared toward teenage boys.
from its casual games business in the most recent scal year casual games often being the industrys extremely broad term for everything other than what the young male demographic wants. This was the rst year the company measured casual games as a separate division, said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing. To try to reach more girls, Ubisoft offers its Imagine series, which lets 6to 14-year-old girls play fashion designer, rock star or gure skater. Ubisoft also has Horse Riders, in which players can create a farm of wild horses. Its unlikely to get any love from gaming blogs and reviewers, but if Ubisofts past games for girls are any indication, it will at least make the company some money. Game companies that have long been selling to teenage boys now want to rope in not only their sisters but also their kid brothers and parents. No company has been as successful in this as Nintendo, which has sold more than 10 million of its $250 Wii consoles in the U.S. since its late 2006 launch, despite widespread supply constraints. Nintendos president, Satoru Iwata, says he hopes to eventually blur the lines between games and other forms of entertainment. We should expand the (games) business to music and movies, he said through an interpreter. As an example, Nintendo has Wii Music. The game turns the Wiis wireless controller and Nunchuk attachment into more than 60 musical instruments. Players mimic the way musicians play those instruments and thats it, they are making music even if they dont know a thing about pitch or rhythm. Its a long way from involved games like Halo 3, where a novice would be hard-pressed to survive more than a few minutes.
Dick jailed on sex allegations

MURRIETA Andy Dick was arrested early Wednesday for investigation of drug use and sexual battery after the comedian allegedly pulled down a teenagers top, police said. The former co-star of the TV sitcom NewsRadio was released from a detention center after posting $5,000 bail. Calls to his representatives seeking comment were not immediately returned. Police were called to the Buffalo Wild Wings in Murrieta at about 1:13 a.m. to investigate a report of an intoxicated male urinating outside the bar and causing a disturbance, according to a police statement. When they arrived, a 17-year-old girl told police that she was outside when Dick left the bar, walked up, grabbed her tank top and bra and pulled them down and exposed her breasts, the statement said. Friends escorted Dick to a truck, which ofcers stopped at a nearby Sams Club, police said. Dick was identied by the teenager and a witness, police said.
Marijuana and the drug Xanax were found his pants pockets during a search and he appeared extremely intoxicated, police said. Dick, 42, was booked at Southwest Detention Center in French Valley on suspicion of felony possession of a controlled subAndy Dick stance, misdemeanor sexual battery and misdemeanor possession of marijuana. Dick has a reputation for crude behavior. He has been reported to have exposed himself to audiences at least twice. He was forcibly removed from the set of the show Jimmy Kimmel Live last year after he repeatedly touched guest Ivanka Trump without her permission. Also last year, Dick was cited in Columbus, Ohio, for urinating on the sidewalk. A comedy club owner in the city said the actor also made inappropriate comments while onstage, groped patrons, took women into the mens room and urinated on the oor and on at least one person.

BORN TODAy: In the year ahead, you could travel more than is normal for you. These jaunts will not be of long distance or duration but of great interest and even quite adventuresome. All will add to the fun and excitement you will enjoy. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Companions will appreciate your quick thinking, perhaps more than you do. Your immediate response to problematic situations saves them a lot of grief. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont hesitate to experiment with a new idea or concept if one hits you while youre in the middle of a job. Chances are it will turn out to be ingenious and save you a lot of time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Go along with a spur-of-the-moment activity that your pals think up because not only will it prove to be more fun than the same old thing, you could meet a new and interesting person. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Dont ignore any flashes of inspiration in the middle of a routine job. Your intuition is trying to help you turn an uninspired task into one of unusual interest and updated ambience. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A good sense of humor may turn out to be exactly what you need should you have to deal with someone who can be trying and taxing. Your secret for getting along with this person will be your wit. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Whether it is Lady Luck or your own instincts, youll find yourself in the right spot at the right time to take advantage of a good deal. Youll end up a winner. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The secret to your success is being a good listener. It enables you to analyze information on the spot, take the good out of it and turn it into something advantageous. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Financial trends are unexpectedly turning in your favor, so be alert for unusual opportunities to pop up when and where you least expect them. At least one or more will develop. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Whether you are with a large or small group, your natural charm and personality will shine above the din. Dont be surprised if you turn around and a crowd is following you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If an important job calls for a bit of resourcefulness, solicit only those who think in progressive terms. One steeped in tradition will be worthless. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Trust your instincts if you spot something that could be profitable -- not necessarily right now but down the line. What you get into now could become valuable. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Just when things become dire, a person with the knowledge and expertise you desperately need will be Johnny on the spot. With his or her help, youll accomplish your aims.
