tion of phase four of the project that included
the construction of a new overpass at

‘Protections for consumers’
Historic financial
overhaul signed
to law by Obama
By Jim Kuhnhenn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Reveling over a new
milestone in his presidency, a triumphant
Barack Obama on Wednesday signed into
law the most sweeping overhaul of lending
and high-finance rules since the Great
Depression, adding safeguards for millions of
consumers and aiming to restrain Wall Street
excesses that could set off a new recession.
The president’s signing ceremony capped
nearly two years of intense and partisan
debate over how to avoid a recurrence of the
2008 financial meltdown that buckled the
U.S. economy and left sharp, lasting imprints
on the nation’s politics and in Americans’
homes.
“Because of this law, the American people
will never be asked again to foot the bill for
Wall Street’s mistakes,” Obama said.

During commute hours, auxiliary lanes
equipped with metering lights allow drivers to
enter and exit the freeway without slowing
traffic. Before construction, traffic crawled
slowly southbound on Highway 101 near
Millbrae Avenue as cars were forced into a
bottleneck.
Burlingame Mayor Cathy Baylock said the
project benefits her city in two ways, by eas-
ing traffic and making it safer for pedestrians
and bicyclists to cross the highway safely.
Burlingame is also set to add onto the ped-
way at Cadillac Way with grant money pro-
vided by the county.

June 28 about his arrest in northern
Pakistan earlier that month.
“Once I saw Gary on TV, I knew that

newspaper. “To me, he’s the only one
that deserves that painting.”
Faulkner, a bearded, 52-year-old
unemployed construction worker from
Greeley, Colo., says he traveled to
Pakistan to kill bin Laden. He was car-
rying a pistol, a sword and night-vision
goggles when detained in mid-June near
the border with Afghanistan.
Cool, who has a beard himself, said
that in 2008, he dreamed of a “man with
gray hair and a dark beard” killing the
al-Qaida leader, and that he committed
the scene to canvas.
The painting, “A Renaissance Dream

Laden,” shows a bin Laden-like figure
on one knee in a thigh-length white robe
and sandals, wielding a sword. He’s

Alleged serial guitar thief strings up charges
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A parolee prosecutors say followed one gui-
tar theft with an encore of several others could
be singing the prison blues if convicted of 19
felony charges.
Melvin James Williams, 50, of East Palo
Alto, is charged in five separate incidents at
several Peninsula music stores, bringing him
seven counts of commercial burglary, four
counts of grand theft, three counts of felony
theft and five counts of possession of stolen
property.
Williams, who has one criminal strike and
11 prior prison commitments, is looking at 22
years in prison if convicted, said Chief Deputy
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
“This is a guy with quite a record,” he said.
None of his current charges count as a crim-
inal strike.
According to prosecutors, Williams hit mul-
tiple music shops over several months, steal-
ing guitars and amplifiers which he later sold

at pawnshops. Two businesses were hit twice.
The spree began on Aug. 31, 2008 when
Clock Tower Music in San Carlos had its front
door forced open. Two bass guitars and an
amp were taken.
On Oct. 22, 2008, Gelb Music on El
Camino Real in Redwood City had its front
window smashed and four guitars and an
amplifier were snatched. One guitar was later
found at the same Santa Clara pawnshop
where the San Carlos equipment was hocked.
On Feb. 16, 2009, the front window of B
Street Music in San Mateo was broken by
three circular weights and two guitars were
stolen.
Gelb Music was hit again on May 7, 2009 by
a suspect who broke a window with a barbell
and stole seven base guitars. One was pawned
at a Redwood City pawnshop the next day by
a man thought to be Williams. His niece also
allegedly pawned one guitar although
Wagstaffe said that can’t be proven.
On July 9, 2009, Williams allegedly broke
the upstairs window of B Street again, taking
six to eight guitars and amplifiers.
Police say after showing a handgun to a
teller and robbing the Provident Credit Union
around 11:40 a.m. Tuesday, the woman
escaped in the van.
Daly City police Sgt. Dave Mackriss says
the bus didn’t have any markings, but was
At this point San Mateo police tracked the
goods to the Santa Clara pawnshop which led
back to Williams’ niece and eventually him,
Wagstaffe said.
At the time of arrest, Williams was on
parole for a 2006 conviction of felony theft for
which he was sentenced to 32 months. He also
has convictions for assault on a police officer,
commercial burglary and vandalism dating
back to 1985 in San Mateo County.
His criminal strike case was not in this
county so its nature is unknown, Wagstaffe
said.
Prosecutors charged Williams in September
2009 but the case has languished in the lower
court until his attorney waived a preliminary
hearing in May. He is scheduled for Superior
Court arraignment Thursday morning at
which time he will enter a plea and set a trial
date.

Study: Pot legalization
impact hard to measure
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE — Legalizing marijuana in California could
give local governments a revenue boost, but estimating how
much is tricky because of the many unknown factors that
exist, a new study found.
The report by the state’s nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s
Office concludes that conflicts between state and federal drug
laws, how cities and counties will choose to tax and regulate
pot and the potential for more drug abusers will affect how
much cash would come from legalizing the crop.
“We do try to stress that there are a lot of uncertainties,” said
Paul Golaszewski, who prepared the study. “At the same time,
we’re trying to be helpful to voters. If this did occur, here’s
what you might expect.”
The report analyzing Proposition 19 was published Tuesday
as part of the voter guide issued by the California secretary of
state’s office. Proposition 19 supporters say legalization would
be a boon for state and local coffers, but critics have argued it
would increase pot usage and crime. They also dispute any
positive economic effects.
The report says the ballot initiative could result in savings of
several tens of millions of dollars annually to state and local
governments by reducing the number of marijuana offenders
in state prisons and county jails.

• State Assemblyman Jerry Hill,
D-San Mateo, is holding office hours
this weekend to hear from con-
stituents on the state budget impasse
and other issues.
The office hours are 10:30 a.m. to
noon at the South San Francisco
Farmers’ Market, Orange Memorial Park, Orange Avenue
and Tennis Drive, South San Francisco.
For more information visit www.asm.ca.gov/hill or call

CITY GOVERNMENT
• The Half Moon Bay City Council voted 4-1 Tuesday
night to put a 1-cent sales tax measure on the November bal-
lot. The tax is expected to raise about $1.4 million annually
and has a sunset period of seven years. Councilman Rick
Kowalcyzk voted against the measure.
• On Monday, the Burlingame City Council took the first
step in creating a business improvement district around
Burlingame Avenue. Since the resolution was introduced, a
public hearing will be held Aug. 16. On Sept. 17, the council
will hold a second public hearing to receive comments and
written protests to determine if a majority of businesses
oppose the proposal. If a majority favor the proposal, the
council can then consider approving the assessments.
Burlingame Avenue business owners are proposing a
tiered-assessment to generate a $99,000 budget to be used on
improving and promoting the area.
Under the proposal, businesses will all have a flat fee of
$125 for businesses on the ground level of Burlingame
Avenue and $100 for all other businesses within the district.
A square footage fee will be added to businesses in two of
the three zones. Businesses on the ground floor on
Burlingame Avenue would pay a square footage fee of $0 for
businesses under 500 square feet to $500 for businesses over
5,500 square feet. Businesses on the ground floor at any other
location within the district would pay a square footage fee of
$0 for businesses under 500 square feet to $400 for business-
es over 5,500 square feet. Businesses not on the ground floor
will only pay the $100 fee.
EDUCATION
• The San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School
District will hear an update on the possibility of opening a
fourth elementary school in Foster City 7 p.m. Thursday, July

Senate approves jobless payments 49ER
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — State unem-
ployment agencies are gearing up to
resume sending unemployment pay-
ments to millions of people as
Congress moves to ship President
Barack Obama a measure to restore
lapsed benefits.
After months of increasingly bit-
ter stalemate, the Senate passed the
measure Wednesday by a 59-39
vote. Obama is poised to sign the
measure into law after a final House

the board’s concern, however, about

by Aug. 6 to put any measure on the
November ballot.

It’s a welcome relief to 2 1/2 mil-

their benefits lapse.
Under best-case scenarios, unem-

partisan Senate standoff over renew-

states. In other states, it will take
longer.

Acquiring land to build classrooms
or educational facilities generated a
slightly negative impact on those
polled.
Godbe Research conducted 800
18-minute phone surveys between
July 9 and July 12. People polled
were split in half and asked about
either a bond measure or parcel tax.
Both measures generated support
higher than the required passage
rate.
Support for a $287 million bond
measure was steadily at 72 percent
at both the beginning and end of the
survey, much higher than the 55 per-
cent passage rate required.
Providing classrooms for core aca-
demics and labs for job training
were somewhat more likely to cre-
ate support for the measure. The
measure, as written, would not
increase the current tax rate but
increase how long taxpayers would
pay the tax.
The size of the bond measure was
troublesome for trustees. Vice
President Stephen Rogers could
support a $125 million to $150 mil-
lion measure, which would extend
the payments to 2046 rather than

weeks for Congress to restore job-
less payments averaging $309 a
week for almost 5 million people
whose 26 weeks of state benefits
have run out. Those people are
enrolled in a federally financed pro-
gram providing up to 73 additional
weeks of unemployment benefits.
About half of those eligible have
had their benefits cut off since fund-
ing expired June 2. They are eligible
for lump sum retroactive payments
that are typically delivered directly
to their bank accounts or credited to
state-issued debit cards.

Board President Dave Pine and
Trustee Peter Hanley agreed.
Superintendent Scott Laurence will
return with a tiered project list for
work that could be accomplished.
Going for a lower bond measure
would mean focusing only on the
biggest issues in the district: Paying
off a large consolidation loan and
building a new home for the contin-
uation high school.
A bond measure could fix a major
structural deficit facing the district,
a burden created from an $80 mil-
lion consolidation loan that the dis-
trict entered into in 2007. The loan
lowered rates for three separate
loans, called certificates of partici-
pation, taken out to further projects
that could be accomplished using a
$137.5 million bond measure,
Measure D, passed in 2000.
Loan payments were to be made
using a mix of developer fees, rede-
velopment agency fees and a contri-
bution from the general fund.
Original estimates saw the impact at
the general fund never going over
$600,000 over the 37-year life of the
loan. Developer and redevelopment

McDonald, 25, was arrested the
evening of June 12 by the

an officer pulled him over on

Speaking to reporters after prac-
fees, however, are not coming in as
projected, increasing the impact on
the general fund in the coming years
to upwards of $1 million.
In addition, a bond could allow
for the construction of a new home
for Peninsula High School, current-
ly located in a building on the for-
mer Crestmoor High School site in
San Bruno. Although the board has
not voted on the land’s educational
value, it is recommended as surplus
land by an advisory committee. The
committee has suggested the board
could get rid of the land if a new,
centrally-located home could be
found for the adult school.
Rogers pointed out selling the
land down the road could pay down
the bond debt quickly, creating less
of a burden for taxpayers.
Going forward with a bond meas-
ure also gives the district more time
to study a parcel tax and its potential
uses. Laurence suggested complet-
ing such research through the
spring.

according to the Godbe Research
survey results. Such a measure
requires a two-thirds passage rate.
Support for a parcel tax rose from
77 percent for a $56 annual tax to 82
percent for a $32 annual tax. A
shorter tax of five years generated
the most support, 75 percent, com-
pared to a 13-year tax which gener-

Those polled were more likely to
support a parcel tax if it helped writ-

Godbe recommended a $56 annu-

measure. If passed, it would gener-

Ford hybrid same price as gas model
By Dee-Ann Durbin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DEARBORN, Mich. — For the first
time, an American automaker plans to
sell a hybrid car for the same, lower
price as its gas-powered counterpart,
removing at least one obstacle for driv-
ers who want a greener ride.
At a little more than $35,000, the 2011
Lincoln MKZ sedan won’t be cheap, but
the decision by Ford to match the prices
of the two styles could lead competitors
to follow suit with future models.
The hybrid MKZ, debuting this fall
and running on both gas and electric
power, will be a bargain after factoring
in savings at the pump. It gets more than
double the mileage of the traditional ver-
sion in city driving.
While automakers won’t reveal what
they spend to install a hybrid system in a
car, the final product usually costs sever-
al thousand dollars more than a gas-
powered version of the same car.
The Lexus HS 250h, the MKZ’s clos-
est competitor, costs about $2,500 more
than the Lexus IS, a similar, small, gas-
powered sedan. Ford charges $8,840
more for the hybrid version of its Ford
Escape SUV.
The MKZ can still make money even
A political filter for info requests
By Ted Bridis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — For at least a year,
the Homeland Security Department
detoured hundreds of requests for feder-
al records to senior political advisers for
highly unusual scrutiny, probing for
information about the requesters and
delaying disclosures deemed too politi-
cally sensitive, according to nearly 1,000
pages of internal e-mails obtained by the
Associated Press.
The department abandoned the practice
after AP investigated. Inspectors from the
department’s Office of Inspector General
quietly conducted interviews last week to
determine whether political advisers
acted improperly.
At a little more than $35,000,the 2011 Lincoln MKZ sedan won’t be cheap,but the
decision by Ford to match prices could lead competitors to follow suit.
if Lincoln doesn’t charge more for the
hybrid, said Erich Merkle, president of
the consulting company
Autoconomy.com. Luxury cars are sold
at a significant premium, he said, ensur-
ing a profit for Ford.
Lincoln can also borrow the hybrid
system from the Ford Fusion, its corpo-
rate twin, and save on development
costs.
“Conventional wisdom is that the
The Freedom of Information Act, the
main tool forcing the government to be
more open, is designed to be insulated
from political considerations. Anyone
who seeks information through the law
is supposed to get it unless disclosure
would hurt national security, violate per-
sonal privacy or expose confidential
decision-making in certain areas.
But in July 2009, Homeland Security
introduced a directive requiring a wide
range of information to be vetted by
political appointees for “awareness pur-
poses,” no matter who requested it. The
government on Wednesday estimated
fewer than 500 requests underwent such

hybrid should be priced higher, but
there’s not really anything to say that a
hybrid has to command a higher price,”
Merkle said.
Besides, Ford had to keep the price
down, said Jessica Caldwell, an analyst
for Edmunds.com. If it had sold for more
than $40,000, it would have faced
tougher competition from luxury cars
like the Mercedes E-Class or the Audi

last fiscal year.
Career employees were ordered to
provide Secretary Janet Napolitano’s
political staff with information about the
people who asked for records — such as
where they lived, whether they were pri-
vate citizens or reporters — and about
the organizations where they worked.
If a member of Congress sought such
documents, employees were told to
specify Democrat or Republican.
This, despite President Barack
Obama’s statement that federal workers
should “act promptly and in a spirit of
cooperation” under FOIA, and Attorney
General Eric Holder’s assertion:
“Unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles have
no place in the new era of open govern-
ment.”

DOJ: Prosecutor firing was politics, not crime
WASHINGTON — The Bush administration’s Justice
Department’s actions were inappropriately political, but not
criminal, when it fired a U.S. attorney in 2006, prosecutors said
Wednesday in closing a two-year investigation without filing
charges.
The decision closes the books on one of the lingering politi-
cal disputes of the Bush administration, one that Democrats
said was evidence of GOP politics run amok and that
Republicans have always said was a manufactured controver-
sy.
Investigators looked into whether the Bush administration
improperly dismissed nine U.S. attorneys, and in particular
New Mexico U.S. Attorney David Iglesias, as a way to influ-
ence criminal cases. The scandal added to mounting criticism
that the administration had politicized the Justice Department,
a charge that contributed to the resignation of Attorney General
Alberto Gonzales.
In 2008, the Justice Department assigned Nora Dannehy, a
career prosecutor from Connecticut with a history of rooting
out government wrongdoing, to investigate the firings.
“Evidence did not demonstrate that any prosecutable crimi-
nal offense was committed with regard to the removal of David
Iglesias,” the Justice Department said in a letter to lawmakers
Wednesday. “The investigative team also determined that the
evidence did not warrant expanding the scope of the investiga-
tion beyond the removal of Iglesias.”
White House apologizes to
fired Ag worker; she mulls return
WASHINGTON — The White House did a sudden about-
face Wednesday and begged for forgiveness from the black
Agriculture Department employee whose ouster ignited an
embarrassing political firestorm over race. She was offered a
“unique opportunity” for a new job and said she was thinking
it over.
With lightning speed, the controversy moved from Monday’s
forced resignation of a minor U.S. Ag official in Georgia to
Tuesday’s urgent discussions at the White House amid a rising
public outcry and then to Wednesday’s repeated apologies and
pleas for Shirley Sherrod to come back.
Sherrod said she resigned under White House pressure after
the airing of a video of racial remarks she made at an NAACP
gathering about events that transpired more than two decades
ago. But Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said repeatedly on
Wednesday that the decision had been his alone.
“I asked for Shirley’s forgiveness and she was gracious
enough to extend it to me,” he said after reaching her by tele-
phone.

hold dear. Now they want to delay the start of

The governor’s threat was a cheap bargain-

anxiety. The governor ought to drop the idea,
rather than press for a preliminary injunction.
With that barrier out of the way, at least for
now, the administration and public employee
labor leaders will be meeting this week at the
bargaining table, a step that could help shave
some costs.
In another hopeful sign, Speaker John A.
Perez last week seemed to be distancing him-
self from what had been the cornerstone of his
budget proposal, $9 billion in borrowing.
His goal was reasonable, to maintain fund-

avoid large numbers of layoffs. But Assembly
Democrats were wrong to think they could
solve the state’s perennial budget crisis by
pushing the state deeper into debt.
There is reason for some hope that the budg-
et can be resolved. But legislators and the gov-
ernor need to re-engage, and quickly. More
delay will further destabilize the shaky econo-
my, and cause pain when the state starts failing
to make timely payments.

‘Unusually uncertain’

Stocks drop as Bernanke warns of uncertain economy
By Stephen Bernard
and Bernard Condon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks fell sharply
Wednesday after Federal Reserve
Chairman Ben Bernanke confirmed
investors’ fears that the economy has
weakened. Interest rates dropped in the
Treasury market as investors sought safer
places for their money.
Bernanke told a congressional commit-
tee that the economy is “unusually uncer-
tain.” He said the economy is fragile, but
he did not forecast that it would fall back
into recession.
The Dow Jones industrial average,
which was modestly higher before
Bernanke’s prepared remarks, fell 109
points as investors absorbed his assess-
ment of the economy, and his statement
that the Fed is ready to take action if the
economy worsens.
Bernanke’s comments, part of his semi-
annual report to Congress, weren’t sur-
prising given the disappointing economic
reports and corporate earnings numbers
released in recent weeks. But they were
enough to upset investors who have grown
increasingly nervous about the state of the
recovery. Some investors may have been
hoping for a more upbeat reading from the
Fed chairman.
The Fed is still expecting the economy
to expand this year, but the central bank
has lowered its forecast for growth.
Oliver Pursche, executive vice president
at Gary Goldberg Financial Services, said
investors took Bernanke’s comments as
“not exactly a ra-ra USA type of endorse-
ment.”
Craig Peckham, market strategist at
Jefferies & Co., said stocks fell not
because of anything Bernanke said, but
what he didn’t say about any plans to
stimulate the economy. Although
Bernanke said the Fed was “prepared to
take further policy actions as needed,” he
also said, “we are not prepared to take any
specific steps in the near term” because

the Fed is still evaluating the economy.
Peckham said, “The market expected
that we’d see more sign of monetary eas-
ing in the testimony. But that didn’t hap-
pen.” Monetary easing would include
steps to make credit more available or
encourage banks to lend more.
The market fluctuated for much of the
day on another mixed batch of earnings
reports. John Merrill, chief investment
officer of Tanglewood Wealth
Management in Houston said the day was
like many others recently: Very little news
but lots of professional traders reacting to
it.
“Bernanke said he wants to collect more
data before doing anything, and that’s just
fine. But traders are impatient. They got a
’buy’ button and a ’sell’ button and they’re
going to do do one or the other,” Merrill
said.
The Dow fell 109.43, or 1.1 percent, to
10,120.53. The broader Standard & Poor’s
500 index fell 13.89, or 1.3 percent, to
1,069.59. The Nasdaq composite index
lost 35.16, or 1.6 percent, and fell to
2,187.33.
Two stocks fell for every one that rose
on the New York Stock Exchange.
Consolidated volume came to 4.8 billion
shares, up from Tuesday’s 4.7 billion.
Treasury prices surged and their yields
fell as investors sought out the safety of
government debt after Bernanke’s testi-
mony. The yield on the benchmark 10-
year Treasury note, which helps set rates
on mortgages and other kinds of loans, fell

Longhorns hope to end season right

By Emanuel Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When Nor-Cal Longhorns manager
Lenny Vagt placed a bid in January to
host this year’s Stan Musial League
Western Regionals, he had one thing
in mind.
“I knew by hosting this would prob-
ably be the closest we’d ever get to the
World Series,” said Vagt, who is also
the general manager of a program he
started 30 years ago.
Vagt picked a great time to host the
event. With an overall record of 18-28
entering Wednesday’s action, the
Longhorns aren’t having the best sea-
son in team history. However, since
Nor-Cal is the host squad, it gets to
bypass the league and state playoffs
and go straight to the Western
Regionals, a stage it has never
reached.
The Longhorns received some
additional good news when the draw
for the Western Regionals came out.

tournament starts next Friday at two

Lin latches on with Warriors Nava is

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND — Jeremy Lin took a

seat in a small room in front of an
array of television crews, photogra-
phers and print media on Wednesday
afternoon. He’d never seen anything
like that at Harvard.
“This is unbelievable,” Lin said
after the Golden State Warriors
signed the undrafted free agent
guard. “I’ve never been part of
something like this.”
He became the first Asian-
American player signed by the
Warriors since 1947. In an area with
a large Asian population, Lin
becomes an instant celebrity.
“I consider myself a basketball
player more than an Asian-
American,” said the Bay Area
native. “I’m ready to play at this
level and I appreciate the support of
the Asian community. This is a
dream come true. I always wanted to
be in the NBA and now I get to do it
with the Warriors, the team I grew
up watching.”
The 21-year-old Lin averaged
16.4 points, 4.5 assists and 4.4
rebounds per game as a senior at
Harvard. The season was highlight-
ed by a 30-point, nine-rebound per-
formance against Connecticut.
Lin is from nearby Palo Alto. He
led Palo Alto High School to a state
championship in 2006.

Coach arrested for punching umpire

By James Lanaras
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
VALLEJO — A Vallejo baseball coach was
arrested at police headquarters on Tuesday for
battery on a sports official during a dispute at a
state Babe Ruth League tournament game at
Wilson Park on Sunday.
David Daniel Davis, 42, allegedly assaulted
the field umpire, who had called one of his play-
ers out at first base, police said.
The Vallejo team had rallied from a 4-2
deficit to take a 5-4 lead in the seventh inning of
the game against a team from Sonoma, but had
to forfeit the game after the alleged assault, the
team’s manager John Larson said.
The forfeit was the second loss for the team
of 15-year-olds and it eliminated them from the
eight-team, Northern California Babe Ruth
League tournament, Larson said.
Davis went to police headquarters Tuesday to
file a complaint against the umpire but, based
on eyewitnesses’ statements, Davis was arrested
for battery, police Lt. Abel Tenorio said.
He was booked into the Solano County Jail
on $5,000 bail but is no longer in custody,
according to a jail official. The penalty for bat-
tery on a sports official is punishable with a fine
up to $2,000, up to a year in the county jail or
both.
Larson said he did not witness the alleged
battery. The field umpire was standing closer to
second base when he called the batter out at first
base, Larson said.
Davis, who was coaching first base, asked the
field umpire to ask the home plate umpire if his
player was out, Larson said.
“There were some choice words from the
field umpire and he threw (Davis) out of the
game,” Larson said.
That’s when Davis allegedly struck the
umpire in the face, knocking him to the ground,
Tenorio said. The Vallejo Fire Department
responded to the incident around 3:15 p.m.,
spokesman William Tweedy said.
It was Davis’ first year coaching but he is now
out of the Babe Ruth League, Larson said.
Larson said the incident has further tarnished
Vallejo’s reputation.
“We were trying to build a better reputation
than Vallejo has. Some teams don’t want to
come to Vallejo to play because of the vio-
lence,” Larson said.

ties at Wilson Park were vandalized twice in

World Series-winning manager Ralph Houk dies
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Ralph Houk, who
managed the powerhouse New York
Yankees of the early 1960s to two
World Series championships during
a 20-year career, died Wednesday.
He was 90.
Houk also skippered the Detroit
Tigers and the Boston Red Sox in a
managerial career that spanned
three decades.
Red Sox spokesman Dick
Bresciani said Houk’s grandson,
Scott Slaboden, told the team Houk
died at his home in Winter Haven,
Fla. Slaboden, who lives in the
Boston area, wrote in an e-mail to
the team that Houk “died peacefully
of natural causes after having a brief
illness.”
Before reaching the big leagues
with the Yankees in 1947, Houk
served in the Army in World War II
and rose to the rank of major — a
moniker that stuck even when he
returned to baseball.
Houk spent parts of eight seasons
as a backup catcher for New York,
appearing in just 91 games. Former
Yankees shortstop Tony Kubek,
who played for Houk in the minors
SPORTS
and majors with New York, said
Houk learned a lot about handling a
pitching staff from working with
Hall of Famer catchers Yogi Berra
and Bill Dickey in the bullpen.
“He had the Yankees’ spirit, the
Yankees’ winning attitude,” Kubek
told The Associated Press in a
phone interview. “He had all the
qualities that make a special manag-
er.”
Houk managed 3,157 games and
won 1,619 with a winning percent-
age of .514. After leaving the
Yankees in 1973, he went to Detroit
and managed the Tigers from 1974-
78. His final stint in the dugout
came with Boston from 1981-84.
“People forget that before he was
a manager, he was a war hero and he
was a catcher for a lot of years,”
Tigers radio analyst Jim Price said.
“He was a great guy, I knew him
very well, and everyone that played
for him loved him.”
It’s been a tough couple of weeks
for the Yankees organization, which
has lost three notable figures from
its storied history in the last 10 days.
Longtime public address announcer
Bob Sheppard died on July 11 and
iconic owner George Steinbrenner
Thursday• July 22, 2010 13
passed away two days later.
Houk’s best seasons as a manager
were his first three in New York. He
took over the Yankees in 1961 and
behind Mickey Mantle and Roger
Maris the team won 109 games and
a World Series championship.
The Yankees repeated as champi-
ons in 1962 and won the AL pen-
nant in 1963, but were swept by the
Los Angeles Dodgers in the World
Series.
Houk managed a handful of Hall
of Famers in New York, but Kubek
said he was an integral part of the
team’s success.

“We’re hitting .222 as a team, and
that’s just dismal,” Vagt said.
“Pitching-wise, I’ll take my guys over

claim there is no support and then
move the team — they’re hoping
to San Jose.
First off, not much has changed
since the Lew Wolff ownership
group took over the team. General
manager Billy Beane is still on a
shoe-string budget, forcing him to
build a team with a constant
turnover of prospects.
Secondly, no matter what
Oakland fans think of Wolff, I
don’t really blame him for trying to
leave Oakland. By anyone’s defini-
tion, the Oakland Coliseum is a
dump and he can’t be blamed for
wanting to upgrade.
I put the stalemate in Oakland,
however, squarely on the shoulders
Jesse Madrid and former Half Moon
Bay High standout Barney Evans,
who are batting .419 and .333, respec-
tively. Once again, the majority of the
Longhorns’ roster consists of players
from the Bay Area, including some
top talents from Cañada, College of
San Mateo and Skyline. However,
Vagt said a number of players who
excelled during the junior college sea-
son are finding things tougher playing
in an all-wood bat league.
Adjusting to wood, along with a
lack of motivation, plagued the team
for most of the season. When Nor-Cal

Granted, it has plenty of other
problems about which to worry as
the city’s reputation continues to be
hammered by violence and general
ineptitude. What better way to gain
some good publicity by really try-
ing to keep a four-time World
Series championship team in their
city? But it seems the Oakland City
Council has used a lukewarm
approach to keeping the team. In
the newspaper article, an Oakland
spokesperson said the city has
offered four different sites for a
new park but the team has turned
them down. Funny, I haven’t heard
about any of them. It’s not like the
City of Oakland is going out of its
way to make sure the public knows
they are doing everything in its
power to keep the A’s in town.
So, as Wolff continues to cast a
wistful glance to the South Bay and
Oakland continues to play its fiddle

9-1 loss to the Oakland Expos on
June 18, the normally mild-mannered
Vagt ripped into his team with a
postgame, expletive-laced tirade.
“I just went ballistic after that loss,”
Vagt said. “The guys were going
through the motions saying, “Hey, its’
only summer ball.’ And that’s when I
unloaded on them. We were getting
spanked and I went ‘nuclear,’ as some
of the players like to describe it. After
that, they changed their persona (and
started to play better). But I should’ve

knew they were going to be there

Rehab as effective as surgery for ACL tears
By Malcolm Ritter
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Attention, week-
end athletes: Don’t be too quick to
agree to surgery for a common type of
knee ligament tear.
A study of Swedish amateur ath-
letes — mostly soccer players —
found that those who got an ACL
reconstruction right away plus physi-
cal therapy fared no better than ath-
letes who started out with rehab and
got the surgery later if they still need-
ed it.
Of those in the rehab-first program,
fewer than half went on to get the sur-
gery within two years, researchers
reported in Thursday’s issue of the
New England Journal of Medicine.
“It seems that if you start out with
rehabilitation only ... you have a good
chance of ending up with an equally
good outcome as if you had early
ACL surgery,” said Richard Frobell of
Lund University Hospital in Sweden,
an author of the work.
“Maybe we will be surprised that a
lot of people actually do not need an
ACL reconstruction.”
Frobell stressed that the study did
not include professional athletes.
They usually seek surgery to get back
into action quickly rather than waiting
to see if rehabilitation works.
About 200,000 Americans each
year have surgery to replace the ante-
rior cruciate ligament, or ACL, which
is crucial for knee stability. It can get
torn in sports like football and soccer
that require planting the foot and piv-
oting.
Doctors already knew that not
every patient with a torn ACL needs
surgery; a middle-aged jogger or
cyclist can often get by with a knee
brace and rehabilitation, experts say.
Frobell said his work suggests that the
same strategy might work for athletes
who want to return to more strenuous
SPORTS
sports like soccer, at least on lower
competitive levels.
Some patients with a damaged ACL
can cope well at a high level. But doc-
tors can’t reliably predict which ACL
patients will turn out to be “copers,”
and Frobell acknowledged his work
doesn’t help with that.
Doctors and patients currently
decide on whether to do the surgery
depending on individual factors like
just what physical activities the
patient plans to pursue and the overall
health of the knee, said Dr. Bruce
Levy, a Mayo Clinic surgeon.
The operation is an outpatient pro-
cedure that involves replacing the
ACL with tissue from the patient or a
cadaver. Risks include infection and
stiffness that may require more sur-
gery. The surgery costs $10,000 or
more, depending on whether cadaver
tissue is needed.
The new study focused on 121
Swedish amateur athletes, ages 18 to
35, mostly soccer players with some
volleyball players. They had new,
complete ACL ruptures. Half were
randomly assigned to get surgery
right away plus physical therapy, and
the other half to start with the rehab to
improve the knee. The rehabilitation
required about 60 sessions on aver-
age, two or three times a week,
Frobell said. That works out to about
five to seven months.
Two years later, both groups report-
ed about the same amount of
improvement in ratings for things like
pain, performance in sports and how
much their knee interfered with their
lives. And about 40 percent of each
group had returned to their previous
level of sports intensity, as measured
by that activity’s stress on the knee.
Among those treated with physical
therapy first, those who eventually got
the surgery turned out no better than
those who didn’t.
Levy urged “a little bit of caution”
Thursday• July 22, 2010 15
in interpreting the study.
For one thing, he said, the patients
were followed for only two years, so
“we really don’t know long-term the
benefits or consequences of each of
the two strategies they tested.”
Some 40 percent of the group that
began with rehabilitation went on to
have the surgery within the two years,
and more will probably do so after
that, he said.
What’s more, the rehabilitation
group showed more signs of trouble
with the meniscus, a rubbery, cush-
ioning disc in the knee, noted surgeon
Dr. Kurt Spindler of Vanderbilt
University. That could raise their risk
of eventually getting osteoarthritis, he
said.
Frobell said researchers will also
study five-year outcomes, and look
for early signs of arthritis with X-rays
and other medical imaging.
The work was financed by govern-
ment grants and private foundations.

TV in a child’s bedroom?
Some recommendations
By Melissa Kossler Dutton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hand-me-downs are a rite of passage for
many kids, but parents should think twice
before passing along an old television set.
The best idea is not to put any TV in your
child’s bedroom, experts say. But if you do, a
newer, smaller one is recommended.
Studies have linked kids’ TV viewing to
problems with obesity, poor grades and misbe-
havior. Yet about 25 percent of preschoolers,
half of school-age children and two-thirds of
teenagers have sets in their room, according to
the American Academy of Pediatrics.
There are steps parents can take to make
kids’ TV viewing safer.
For one, avoid the temptation to upgrade the
family room set and move the old one into
junior’s room. One reason is that older TVs
lack the latest features for allowing a parent to
control screen time.
A newer television will have a V-Chip, a
now-standard feature that lets parents block
programs with certain ratings. Parents create a
pin code, then select the movie and television
show ratings they’re willing to let the children
watch, said Nick Mokey, an associate editor
with Portland-based Digital Trends, a website
that focuses on high-tech lifestyles. Children
find a blank screen if they try to watch a pro-
gram their parents have deemed inappropriate.
If cable or satellite access is added to a tele-
SUBURBAN LIVING
vision, parents will need to activate the block-
ing system associated with those products.
“The V-Chip is going to work on over-the-
air broadcasts,” Mokey said. “Cable or satellite
is going to have its own built-in controls.”
Some televisions also include a feature that
lets parents set a timer to control the amount of
time spent playing video games, said Julie
Govan, an editor at Crutchfield.com, an online
electronics retailer.
And there are accessories that limit chil-
dren’s access to television and games. Timers
are available to control what hours the televi-
sion will be operable, and how many hours a
day or hours in a row it can be on.
Parents can even buy locks for the plugs on
TVs and gaming consoles to prevent kids from
plugging them into outlets. “If you want to
take it away to punish that kid, turn the key
and there’s no way they can play,” Mokey said.
Another reason not to place an old family-
room TV in a child’s bedroom could be the
TV’s larger size, said J. Allison Bryant, presi-
dent of PlayScience, a consulting firm that
specializes in media and families in Marion,
N.C. “Family rooms are significantly bigger,”
she said.
A TV’s dimensions should correlate to the
dimensions of the room and where the viewer
will be watching from, said Mokey. For com-
fort and optimal viewing, aim for a distance
two to four times the diagonal of the TV, he
said.
Tips for staying safe at college
By Kim Cook

The annual college shopping trip is almost
upon us. And while it’s fun to stock up on
posters, shower caddies and desk lamps,
experts say you also should consider how
you’ll keep yourself, and your stuff, safe on
campus.
Common sense is the best defense, says
Chris McGoey, who runs a security business in
Los Angeles and consults on campus safety.
“It’s all about access. In most incidents, vic-
tims were careless, unaware and too trusting,”
he says.
In dorm suites and hallways, there may be
visitors you don’t know. Many freshmen like
to adopt an “open-door” policy when they get
moved into dorms. But that’s an invitation to
would-be thieves.
“If you have a computer, laptop or other
electronic equipment, tether it to something
solid using a security cable,” advise the “col-
lege life” editors at the school-advice site
SparkNotes.com.
There are also motion-sensor locks for lap-
tops. And Orbicule’s Undercover is a monitor-
ing device for your Mac, iPhone or iPad; for a
student price of $39, the downloadable soft-
ware will snap a photo of the person who took
your Mac and track the IP address anywhere in
the world — information that can be given to
police. In the meantime, lockout features pre-
vent the thief from accessing anything on the
computer.
As for smaller valuables, some students sug-
gest keeping them in a trunk — the kind you
take to summer camp — with a combination
lock. Trunks also make handy nightstands.
Jeff Gawronski of DormCo.com, an online
retailer that sells dorm security items, says his
biggest seller is a room safe. Safes these days
have been scaled down to look less intimidat-
ing in a dorm room.
Diversion safes are containers that look like
everyday items — cleanser cans, for example.
The idea’s clever, so long as nobody acciden-

If your roommate has lost a key, don’t leave

In general, familiarize yourself with the
school’s security systems and dorm environ-
ment. Locate fire extinguishers, and keep a
small one on hand if you have appliances.
DormCo.com stocks a Kevlar fire blanket to
smother flames.
Female students may feel safer at night with
a small pepper spray canister, if the school
allows it. CollegeStudentSafety.com even sells
jogging hand weights with a small vial hidden
in the grip. A lighted keychain with an alarm
may offer peace of mind.
Students are at particular risk for identity
theft, according to a survey by Impulse
Research for the Chubb Group Insurance Cos.
Some simple steps can reduce the risk:
Don’t give out bank, credit card or social
security information over the phone or online.
Shred sensitive documents, or use an identity
blocker stamp that obscures personal info. Be
careful about replying to solicitations, and
check bank balances frequently. If your wallet
or purse is stolen, let your bank, the school and
the police know immediately.

Blowing in the wind: Flags for the garden
By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
In the dog days of summer, noth-
ing is quite so welcome as an after-
noon breeze. Gardeners appreciate
the wind not just as a respite from
the heat but also for the way it
moves their plants, adding a whole
other aesthetic dimension to their
handiwork. Some of the best plants
for catching the breeze are grasses,
such as Panicum virgatum
‘Shenandoah’ and ‘Northwind,’
Schizachyrium scop. ‘Prairie Blues’
and several varieties of Miscanthus
sinensis. Any good landscaping or
garden store can supply more ideas.
If your garden doesn’t have room
for more plants, fly a colorful flag
instead. Flags and banners have
become a popular decorative ele-
ment in backyards — and they’re
even better when the design is
inspired by your own garden.
Flowers, leaves and garden insects
such as dragonflies are perfect
motifs for announcing seasonal
changes or events, and these every-
day icons are easy to incorporate
into a homemade flag or banner.

Ease up but still enjoy gardening as you age
By Dean Fosdick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sydney Eddison believes you can weed out
loads of demanding yard work as you age
without reducing the enjoyment of garden-
ing. The 78-year-old author says it’s simply a
matter of gardening more wisely.
“I knew so many friends older than myself
who drove themselves away from the land
they loved and then promptly died,” said
Eddison, who opted to remain alone on her
secluded but celebrated four-acres-plus in
Connecticut after her husband’s death, rather
than move to smaller surroundings.
She has shaped the wooded property, with
house and barn, into a country showcase over
the last half-century, giving tours and writing
a half-dozen books about her experiences. Yet
something had to give, and that something
was painstaking garden maintenance.
“I threw my body at the garden over the
years and got away with it, but I have to
watch it now,” Eddison said.
First, she had to have a hip replaced, and

ing her bedridden for a time. “I had a horren-
dous winter, but it made me realize there’s
nowhere I’d rather be but here,” she said. “I
couldn’t do anything last year, but now I can
at least stake tall plants and weed.”
She gets the job done with some help from
friends, and by applying many of the short-
cuts described in her most recent book,
“Gardening for a Lifetime: How to Garden
Wiser as You Grow Older” (Timber Press,
2010).
A few of her “gleanings”:
• Reject perfection. “Nature does not clean
up every dead leaf in the fall and gardeners
don’t have to either. Dead leaves left under
shrubs serve as a mulch, which eventually
breaks down and contributes nutrients to the
soil.”
• Thin the perennials. “In my garden, the

The greater the variety of perennials you
grow, the more work your border will entail.”
• Switch to shrubs. “Shrubs afford more
value for less work. Some rarely need prun-
ing.”
• Shade gardens are good. “Shade-tolerant
plants are easier to maintain than sun lovers.
One of the reasons is that weeds are also sun
lovers. In the shade, they become feeble and
can be controlled by a layer of mulch.”
• Incorporate your surroundings: “If you
own even a scrap of woodland, you can make
it an extension of your garden by edging it
with a few berried and flowering shrubs.
Naturalize daffodils on the forest floor.”
• Miniaturize. “There is nothing fake about
a container garden. It is the real thing. And
for anyone who can’t do the heavy labor of
in-the-ground gardening, gardening in con-
tainers can provide much of the same pleas-
ure.”

Continued from page 1
In a heated midterm election season
that has dented his public support,
Obama sought to put the complex law in
pocketbook terms. Emphasizing provi-
sions that guard borrowers from abusive
lenders, he claimed “the strongest finan-
cial protections for consumers in the
nation’s history.”
Not everyone agreed. Republicans por-
trayed the bill as a burden on small banks
and the businesses that rely on them and
argued that it will cost consumers and
impede job growth.
Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana, a member
of the House GOP leadership, on
Wednesday joined House Minority
Leader John Boehner of Ohio in calling
for the law’s repeal.
The law, passed despite nearly unani-
mous Republican opposition, attempts to
catch up to a financial system that has
sped ahead of outdated regulation and
slackened rules that allowed banks,
traders and others to take increased risks.
Wall Street’s near collapse, Obama
said, “was a crisis born of a failure of
responsibility from certain corners of
Wall Street to the halls of power in
Washington.”
The new rules, however, are only at a
midpoint. Banking and market regulators
will have up to two years to write many
of the new regulations required by the
law, extending uncertainty and ushering
in a new phase of lobbying by financial
firms.
“Regulators will have to be vigilant,”
Obama said.
The president sought to quell public
anger over the $700 billion bank rescue
fund the government created at the height
of the crisis to reassure the markets.
While the infusion is credited with pro-
viding stability, the public recoiled at the
idea of taxpayer money being used to
help prop up huge banks.
The law gives regulators new authority
to liquidate large, interconnected finan-
cial firms that are failing.
“There will be no more tax-funded
bailouts, period.”
The law, however, does permit the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to bor-
row taxpayer money from the Treasury
temporarily to help cover the costs of
winding down a large firm. Other large
banks would have to pay the Treasury
back over time.
Firms have been poring over the mas-
sive bill, anxious to assess its most
immediate impact. Credit rating firms,
for instance, say they will no longer
allow the issuers of debt-backed securi-
ties to put their ratings for them in public
sale documents, wary of a provision in
the law that makes it easier to sue ratings
agencies.
The law assembles an influential coun-
cil of regulators to be on the lookout for
risks across the finance system. It also
crates a powerful independent consumer
financial protection bureau within the
Federal Reserve to write and enforce new
regulations covering lending and credit.
It places shadow financial markets that
previously escaped the oversight of regu-
lators under new scrutiny and gives the
government new powers to break up
companies that threaten the economy.
Major Wall Street banks have wel-
comed some provisions in the bill but
have fiercely opposed others that would
limit their banking business and cut into
their profitability.
And Republicans have argued that the
law will hurt rather than help people still
reeling from the recession .
“Millions of Americans are struggling
to find jobs, and yet all they see in
Washington are Democrats passing mas-
sive bills that, at their core, seem to have
one thing in common: More job loss,”
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-
Ky., said on the Senate floor Wednesday.
Thomas Donohue, the president and
CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,
called the law “a financial regulatory
boondoggle.”
LAW
Continued from page 1
write a “funeral plan.” If regulators decide a company
is endangering the system,they could dismantle it and
sell off the pieces.
• The idea is to prevent panic from spreading. The
Treasury would pay the bank’s obligations. Treasury
would be repaid with industry fees and money raised
from the failed company’s shareholders, bondholders
and asset sales.But taxpayers could end up on the hook,
the Congressional Budget Office says. Republicans
complain this system “makes bailouts permanent.”
Some further complications:
• The shutdown plan isn’t certain to prevent panics.
Regulators might hesitate to close a financial services
company until the system already is in crisis. Still,
regulators will be better able to defuse threats.And the
system’s health might be restored more quickly.
• The bill won’t fix the “too big to fail”problem. During
the financial crisis, the government refused to let the
largest banks collapse.Officials wanted to contain the
crisis.So they propped up faltering banks or helped sell
them off. Trillions of taxpayer dollars were put at risk.
The law aims to make such failures rarer and less jarring
to markets.But a handful of megabanks still dominate
the industry. None would be allowed to fail because
officials still fear that could spark panic.
CHANGES TO BANK REGULATION
• The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency will
become the only regulator for U.S.-based banks with
branches in more than one state.Until now,the Office
of Thrift Supervision oversaw some such banks. The
OTS offered loose oversight before the crisis. For
example, it let banks avoid setting aside money for
future losses.The banks were allowed to assume that
the riskiest mortgages would be repaid. That’s why
many risky lenders chose the OTS as their main
regulator.The overhaul would prevent such “regulator
shopping” by making the OCC the sole regulator for
national banks and thrifts.
• But as before,no one regulator will monitor the entire
banking system. And there still will be different
standards for different types of companies — one for
credit unions,for instance,and another for thrifts.Take
state-chartered banks.They’re regulated by both state
and federal agencies.But their federal regulation is split
between two agencies:the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp.and the Federal Reserve.That won’t change.
• Banks must keep a sturdier financial base — what’s
known as capital.Capital is the stable money banks sit
on. It includes money not at risk, such as shareholder
equity.Think of it as an expanded rainy day fund.
Regulators decide how much capital banks must have
to cover unexpected big losses. The law instructs
regulators to raise these standards. But they’ll have
broad discretion. And they will be influenced by
international negotiations about how bank capital
should be calculated.
LIMITING BANKS’ACTIVITIES
• The bill bans “proprietary trading.”That’s when banks
place bets for their own profit, rather than for their
clients.It’s unclear how strictly the ban will be enforced.
It can be hard to tell, for example, whether an
investment is intended to benefit a bank or its clients
and whether federally insured deposits could be put
at risk by these trades. Regulators will draft rules after
doing a study.
• The ban is part of the Volcker Rule,named for Former
Fed Chairman Paul Volcker.Volcker,now a White House
adviser,says banks should stick to taking deposits and
making loans. He thinks dealmaking and investment
banking should be left to firms that taxpayers wouldn’t
have to bail out.
• Another part of the Volcker Rule will limits banks’
investments in hedge funds and private equity funds.
These are lightly regulated investment pools. Banks
can’t own more than 3 percent of such a fund. And a
bank’s investments in such funds can’t exceed 3 percent
of its capital.But banks can still put clients’money into
the funds.
• Many financial derivatives will be regulated for the
first time. Derivatives are investments whose value
depends on the future price of some other investment.
Stock options and corn futures are examples. Many
companies use derivatives to reduce risk. A company
might hold a derivative whose profit would allow it to
recoup part of the cost if a raw material’s price soared.
Before the crisis,some investors used derivatives purely
for speculation:They arranged side bets on the housing
market. Once the market crashed, their bad bets
magnified the crisis.
• Under existing rules, many derivatives are traded
outside the view of regulators.The new law will require
that most derivatives trade openly on exchanges.
• Derivatives for the first time will also trade through
clearinghouses.These intermediaries settle trades and
are on the hook if the owner can’t pay off its derivatives
contracts.Clearinghouses will require derivatives sellers
to set aside money for each contract in case their bets
go bad.
• Banks won’t be able to trade derivatives that are
thought to pose the most risk. These include those
based on energy and most metals.The ban is designed
to protect taxpayer-insured bank deposits from being
used to cover losses caused by derivatives.If derivatives
bets wiped out a bank’s capital,taxpayers could have to
pay up.
• But banks can still trade most derivatives. Examples
include those based on gold,interest rates and foreign
currencies.
• Other derivatives operators will face tougher oversight.
Examples include companies that sell purely speculative
derivatives to hedge funds and wealthy investors.
• Derivatives companies must set aside money to cover
possible losses. And the companies can be punished
for using derivatives to mask the health of a business or
government. The idea is to block deals like the one
Goldman Sachs was accused of arranging to help
Greece hide its deficit.
• There are exceptions to the clearinghouse and
exchange-trading requirements.One is for nonfinancial
companies that use derivatives solely to offset business
risks.They can still trade derivatives outside exchanges
and clearinghouses. And they won’t have to set aside
money to cover possible losses.They’ll have to report
their trades to regulators,however.
• Some derivatives are custom-made to meet a buyer’s
business needs.Custom derivatives can’t be traded on
exchanges.This creates a loophole:Derivatives dealers
could steer buyers into custom-made contracts,making
those trades less transparent.
MONITORING OTHER FINANCIAL PLAYERS
• Credit rating agencies will be held more accountable.
Before the crisis,they gave high ratings to investments
that turned out to be worthless. Under existing case
law,the agencies can’t be successfully sued for ignoring
an investment’s risks — only for fraud. The overhaul
ends that protection; investors can sue agencies for
recklessly ignoring risks.Also,the agencies must explain
more fully how they assign ratings. If an agency
performs poorly over time,the Securities and Exchange
Commission could cancel its registration.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
The law will also reduce the influence of the three big
rating agencies — Moody’s,Standard & Poor’s and Fitch
Ratings. Regulators and government agencies have
used their ratings to decide which investments are
appropriate for, say, banks and pension funds, which
enjoy some government backing.But the overhaul lets
the SEC and others develop new ways to grade
investment risk.
The changes have already disrupted markets that
finance credit cards,car loans and other consumer debt.
The three major agencies say they’ll no longer let bond
issuers list their ratings in public sale documents.The
agencies fear investor lawsuits. But experts expect
markets to recover in the coming months.They expect
the agencies will develop ways to minimize the risk of
lawsuits.
• Still undecided is how to address the agencies’conflict
of interest:They’re paid by the banks whose investments
they rate. Before the crisis, the agencies lowered
standards to compete for banks’business.One option:
Randomly assigning investments to agencies to rate.
• Shareholders of public companies can weigh in on
pay packages for top executives. They can vote to
approve or disapprove of pay deals as part of the proxy
process.That’s the annual ballot that shareholders use
to elect boards of directors. The votes on pay will be
held at least once every three years.
But shareholders won’t be able to block pay packages
they see as excessive.Their votes will be nonbinding.
• Shareholders will find it easier to nominate board
members and have a chance to influence a board’s
decisions. Fewer shares will qualify a stockholder to
nominate a director. Directors who represent
shareholders are more likely to vote to limit pay or
reduce the company’s financial risks.
• Brokers offering personalized investment advice must
act in clients’best interests.The rules will hold brokers
to the same standard that investment advisers already
must meet. The change won’t occur until regulators
have studied the issue.
• Hedge funds must register as investment advisers.
Retirement funds, money managers and wealthy
individuals often invest in hedge funds, which use
complex trades to seek big returns.
• Once hedge funds have registered with the SEC,they’ll
undergo periodic examinations and be required to
disclose more information about their trades.This is a
big change for hedge funds. But it’s not nearly as
rigorous as bank supervision.
• Insurance companies escaped with few changes. A
new office at Treasury will monitor the industry and
help decide if an insurer is big enough to warrant tighter
oversight.Today,insurers are regulated by the insurance
commissions of each state in which they operate.
• Regulators can limit the fees retailers pay when
shoppers use debit cards. Merchants argue that the
fees — often up to 2 percent of the transaction cost —
are too high. Still, the fees help defray losses on credit
card loans.Debit cards carry no such risk for the issuer.
The law also lets retailers give discounts to customers
whose payment methods generate lower fees. Some
savings could be passed on to shoppers.
A NEW CONSUMER WATCHDOG
A new agency will oversee consumer products and
services, from mortgages to check cashing. It will
regulate many nonbank companies, such as payday
lenders. Before the crisis, no regulator with financial
expertise oversaw the most reckless mortgage lenders.
• The regulator will police companies that dominate
consumer finance, such as credit card companies and
the biggest banks.The agency will write rules and ban
products it deems unsafe, such as mortgages that
require payment of interest only.It can ban confusing
language in documents. And the agency can punish
companies that don’t comply.
• The agency’s rules apply to community banks,too.But
its enforcement won’t. Instead, existing regulators will
oversee the community banks’ compliance. These
regulators failed to protect consumers before the crisis.
Community banks weren’t involved in the risky
investing that shook Wall Street.But they issued some
high-risk mortgages that consumers couldn’t repay.
And their lending practices caused the previous
banking crisis — the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s
and 1990s .
• The biggest loophole is for auto dealers that provide
loans financed by banks.The bureau can’t scrutinize or
punish them.It can’t even ban misleading fine print.
• The agency won’t police companies the SEC regulates,
such as stockbrokers.
• Some other groups that won exemptions from the
consumer agency’s oversight:Mobile-home sellers,real
estate brokers,accountants and insurers.
OVERHAULING MORTGAGE RULES
The law revamps the mortgage system to protect
consumers and discourage risky lending.
• Before the crisis, lenders funneled trillions into the
overheated housing market.Many lenders didn’t care
if borrowers couldn’t repay because they quickly resold
the loans to investment banks.Banks bundled the loans,
then sliced them into bonds.Investors,such as insurers
and pension funds,bought the bonds.When borrowers
stopped paying,those investors suffered deep losses.
• The biggest change: Lenders must verify that
borrowers can afford their mortgages.The lenders can
be punished if they fail to review borrowers’ income
and credit histories.
• Any company that pools loans into mortgage
investments must keep at least 5 percent of the
investments on its books.That way,banks know they will
lose money if they sell too many investments backed
by poor-quality loans.
• Low-risk mortgages,such as 30-year fixed-rate loans,
will be exempt. Lenders can resell all those loans.This
could encourage lenders to put more homeowners in
such “plain vanilla”mortgages.
• The bill doesn’t include a fix for Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac. Those two companies are at the heart of the
mortgage finance system. They buy mortgages from
lenders and resell them to investors. When their
investments lost money, the government had to
intervene.The bailouts have cost taxpayers $145 billion
so far.
• Now banned: Bonuses for brokers based on the cost
of a mortgage. These payments encouraged brokers
to stick borrowers with higher rates and fees.
GIVING THE FED MORE
POWER AND TRANSPARENCY
The Fed gained some power.It will be the lead regulator
for the biggest, most interconnected financial
companies • those whose failures could threaten the
system.But its independence was also reined in,to an
extent:
• The Government Accountability Office will conduct a
one-time audit of the emergency lending programs
the Fed used to stabilize markets during the crisis.The
audit will include the Fed’s discount lending to banks.
• The Fed’s emergency lending powers will be more
transparent and subject to greater oversight. During
the crisis, the Fed used this authority to craft huge
bailouts behind closed doors.It withheld details about
programs that rescued individual companies. The
overhaul bans lending programs designed to save
individual companies.The Fed must also disclose details
of the programs,typically a year after they expire.And
the Fed can’t invoke its emergency powers without the
Treasury secretary’s permission.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
BETTY R. SCHULTZ
Case Number 120244
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: BETTY R. SCHULTZ. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by:
Martin C. Schultz and Malania A. Schultz
DePaul in the Superior Court of Califor-
nia, County of San Mateo. The Petition
of Probate requests that Martin C.
Schultz and Malania A. Schultz DePaul
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal represenative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: August 16, 2010 at
9:00 a.m., Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo, 400 County Cen-
ter, Redwood City, CA 94402. If you ob-
ject to the granting of the petition, you
should appear at the hearing and state
your objections or file written objections
with the court before the hearing. Your
appearance may be in person or by your
attorney. If you are a creditor or a con-

China oil spill threatens sea life

By Cara Anna
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING — China’s largest reported oil
spill emptied beaches along the Yellow Sea as
its size doubled Wednesday, while cleanup
efforts included straw mats and frazzled work-
ers with little more than rubber gloves.
An official warned the spill posed a “severe
threat” to sea life and water quality as China’s
latest environmental crisis spread off the
shores of Dalian, once named China’s most
livable city.
One cleanup worker has drowned, his body
coated in crude.
“I’ve been to a few bays today and discov-
ered they were almost entirely covered with
dark oil,” said Zhong Yu with environmental
group Greenpeace China, who spent the day
on a boat inspecting the spill.
“The oil is half-solid and half liquid and is
as sticky as asphalt,” she told the Associated
Press by telephone.
The oil had spread over 165 square miles
(430 square kilometers) of water five days
since a pipeline at the busy northeastern port
exploded, hurting oil shipments from part of
China’s strategic oil reserves to the rest of the
country. Shipments remained reduced
Wednesday.
State media has said no more oil is leaking
into the sea, but the total amount of oil spilled
is not yet clear.
Greenpeace China released photos
Wednesday of inky beaches and of straw mats
about 2 square meters (21 square feet) in size
scattered on the sea, meant to absorb the oil.
Fishing in the waters around Dalian has

been banned through the end of August, the
state-run Xinhua News Agency reported.
“The oil spill will pose a severe threat to
marine animals, and water quality, and the sea
birds,” Huang Yong, deputy bureau chief for
the city’s Maritime Safety Administration,
told Dragon TV.
At least one person died during cleanup
efforts. A 25-year-old firefighter, Zhang
Liang, drowned Tuesday when a wave threw

him from a vessel, Xinhua reported.
Officials, oil company workers and volun-
teers were turning out by the hundreds to
clean blackened beaches.
“We don’t have proper oil cleanup materi-
als, so our workers are wearing rubber gloves
and using chopsticks,” an official with the
Jinshitan Golden Beach Administration
Committee told the Beijing Youth Daily news-
paper, in apparent exasperation.
Around the world
Cameron meets with
Wall Street CEOs in NYC
NEW YORK — British Prime Minister
David Cameron met with Wall Street CEOs on
Wednesday to press the
case for doing business in
the United Kingdom, and
later planned to rub elbows
with media and political
elites at a welcome dinner
on his first official visit to
New York City.
The closed meeting with
business leaders included
David Cameron
top executives at
JPMorgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs
Group Inc., Citigroup Inc. and Morgan
Stanley. The British consulate said the discus-
sions focused on prospects for more trade and
investment with the UK.
Cameron, who took office 10 weeks ago,
also planned talks later with U.N. Secretary-
General Ban Ki-moon.
He arrived in New York on Wednesday after-
noon after a visit to Washington, where he met
with President Barack Obama and discussed
the war in Afghanistan at the Pentagon with
U.S. officials, including Deputy Defense
Secretary William Lynn.
Lost Kafka writings resurface
JERUSALEM — It seems almost
Kafkaesque: Ten safety deposit boxes of
never-published writings by Franz Kafka, their
exact contents unknown, are trapped in courts
and bureaucracy, much like one of the night-
marish visions created by the author himself.
The papers, retrieved from bank vaults
where they have sat untouched and unread for
decades, could shed new light on one of litera-
ture’s darkest figures.

U.S.announces sanctions against North Korea

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, South Korea — The Obama
administration moved Wednesday to push new
sanctions against North Korea over its nuclear
weapons program, as Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton and Defense
Secretary Robert Gates showed solidarity with
South Korea during a visit to the area that sep-
arates it from the North.
Clinton announced the new measures — tar-
geting the sale or purchase of arms and related
goods used to fund the communist regime’s
nuclear activities, and the acquisition of luxu-
ry items to reward its elite — after she and
Gates toured the heavily fortified border in a
symbolic trip four months after the sinking of
a South Korean warship blamed on the North.
The penalties are intended to further isolate
the already hermetic North and persuade its
leaders to return to talks aimed at getting it to
abandon atomic weapons. The U.S. is also try-
ing to forestall future provocative acts like the
torpedoing of the Cheonan, which killed 46
South Korean sailors.
With specifics of the sanctions still being
worked out, the more striking demonstration
of U.S. resolve came when Clinton and Gates
— in a first for America’s top two cabinet
members — together toured the demilitarized
zone in the village of Panmunjom.
Under sporadic downpours and the watchful
gaze of curious North Korean guards, they
paid tribute to the U.S., South Korean and
international forces that patrol the world’s last
Cold War-era border. Sixty years after the
fighting began, the peninsula remains divided
in a state of war because the conflict ended in
a truce, not a peace treaty.
At one point, in the Military Armistice
Commission building where officials from
North Korea and the U.N. Command meet for
talks, Clinton and Gates stood briefly on North
Korean soil while a North Korean solider
peered at them through a window.
In the past week, the pages have been pulled
from safety deposit boxes in Tel Aviv and
Zurich, Switzerland, on the order of an Israeli
court over the objections of two elderly
women who claim to have inherited them from
their mother.
Whale wallops South
African yacht, snapping mast
CAPE TOWN, South Africa — A yachter in
South Africa says her trip off the country’s pic-
turesque southwestern coast was wrecked by
an unexpected whack from a whale.
Paloma Werner said Wednesday the whale
breached just feet from their boat in Cape
Town’s waters on Sunday. It whacked the
yacht, snapping the mast in two.
