‘American Idol’hopefuls gather at AT&T Park
By Kyveli Diener
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Thousands of people lined up near San
Francisco’s AT&T Park Tuesday, eagerly
waiting to get wristbands that will show they
are registered to audition for the 10th season
of the hit TV show “American Idol.”
Singers of all ages and styles filled Terry A.
Francois Boulevard, several strumming gui-
tars and many singing to pass the time — and
maybe rattle the competition — as they wait-
ed to be funneled to a registration area outside
the ballpark.
There, they waited a little longer before
receiving the wristbands, which will get them
into Thursday’s opening-round auditions at
the stadium. Fox representatives will be man-
ning the registration table outside AT&T Park
24 hours a day until about 8 a.m. Thursday.
Some San Francisco police officers were on
site starting at midnight, and one said there
were already about 100 people waiting there
when he arrived for his 12 a.m. shift.
As of 10 a.m., there hadn’t been any prob-
lems with the eager singers, and police were
confident there wouldn’t be any.
Brittany Zelaya, 17, and her mother Amy
returned to their hometown of San Francisco
from Snohomish, Wash., for the audition, and
started waiting in line around 5 a.m.
Zelaya was part of the first group of people
to receive their wristbands yesterday morning.
Singing Beyonce’s “Listen” on Thursday will
be the recent high school graduate’s first
“American Idol” audition.

Zelaya said. She said she was not intimidated

CITY GOVERNMENT
• Concerns were raised about the possible creation of a busi-
ness improvement district around Burlingame Avenue during a
Burlingame City Council meeting Monday night.
Some were concerned about taking on another bill during hard
economic times. A number of comments were fueled by misin-
formation like the city could access the funds for other projects
or veto the decisions of the businesses. Burlingame Avenue busi-
ness owners are proposing a tiered-assessment to generate a
$99,000 budget to be used for 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 with-
in the district would pay a square footage fee of $0 for busi-
nesses under 500 square feet to $400 for businesses over 5,500
square feet. Businesses not on the ground floor will only pay the
$100 fee. On Sept. 7, the council will hold a second public hear-
ing 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.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The San Carlos Planning Commission
unanimously ordered up required
approvals and permits for a new In-N-
Out Burger restaurant at the city’s gate-
way despite some resident concern over
potential traffic and smell.
The commission voted 5-0 to issue a
conditional use permit and, by the same
margin, approved an exception to the
city’s sign ordinance for the site at the
northeast corner of Holly Street and
Industrial Road.
The site will include a 3,654-square-
foot restaurant building with patio din-
ing, a drive-through aisle that can
accommodate up to 17 vehicles and a
46-space parking lot. The 65-foot sign
required an exception by the Planning
Commission. The commission is also
allowing the franchise to use air scrub-
bers to filter potential smells from the
building.

Bell salaries prompt new bills
By Cathy Bussewitz

SACRAMENTO — California
lawmakers will begin debating bills
stemming from a salary scandal in
the small Los Angeles suburb of
Bell that set off a fierce debate
about the compensation of munici-

Under one bill going before the
Legislature this week, all city,
county and school district employ-
ees would have to report their com-
pensation each year and have it
posted on a public website.
The secretary of state would
develop a form for employees to
report salaries, stipends and other
reimbursement.

Foreclosure rate highest for Hispanics
LOS ANGELES — Loans taken out by Hispanics in
California have been more likely to end in foreclosure than
most other groups, according to a study released Tuesday by a
nonprofit group that called for renewed efforts to keep trou-
bled borrowers from losing their homes.
The Center For Responsible Lending said in its analysis of
data from government agencies and mortgage servicers that
almost half of all the state’s foreclosures between October
2006 and November 2009 involved Hispanic borrowers.
Hispanics, however, comprised less than a third of the state’s
borrowers between 2004 and 2008, when those loans are like-
ly to have originated. The report also found that African-
Americans experienced disproportionately high foreclosure
rates, with black borrowers accounting for less than 6 percent
of loan originations, but nearly 8 percent of foreclosures.
By contrast, the state’s non-Hispanic white borrowers
accounted for about a third of all foreclosures, but nearly half
of all home loans. Asian borrowers comprised about 6 percent
of the state’s foreclosures, but nearly 12 percent of all loans.

Study:Many teens have hearing loss Terrorist interrogation
By Carla K.Johnson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — A stunning one in
tapes found under desk
five teens has lost a little bit of hear-
ing, and the problem has increased
substantially in recent years, a new
national study has found.
Some experts are urging teenagers
to turn down the volume on their dig-
ital music players, suggesting loud
music through earbuds may be to
blame — although hard evidence is
lacking. They warn that slight hear-
ing loss can cause problems in school
and set the stage for hearing aids in
later life.
“Our hope is we can encourage
people to be careful,” said the study’s
senior author, Dr. Gary Curhan of
Harvard-affiliated Brigham and
Women’s Hospital in Boston.
The researchers analyzed data on
12- to 19-year-olds from a nation-
wide health survey. They compared
hearing loss in nearly 3,000 kids test-
ed from 1988-94 to nearly 1,800 kids
tested over 2005-06.
The prevalence of hearing loss
increased from about 15 percent to
19.5 percent.
Most of the hearing loss was
“slight,” defined as inability to hear
at 16 to 24 decibels — or sounds
such as a whisper or rustling leaves.
A teenager with slight hearing loss
might not be able to hear water drip-
ping or his mother whispering “good
night.”
Extrapolating to the nation’s teens,
that would mean about 6.5 million
with at least slight hearing loss.
Those with slight hearing loss
“will hear all of the vowel sounds
clearly, but might miss some of the
consonant sounds” such as t, k and s,
Curhan said.
Some experts are urging teenagers to turn down the volume on their
digital music players,suggesting loud music through earbuds may be to
blame for hearing loss.
“Although speech will be
detectable, it might not be fully intel-
ligible,” he said.
While the researchers didn’t sin-
gle out iPods or any other device
for blame, they found a significant
increase in high-frequency hearing
loss, which they said may indicate
that noise caused the problems.
And they cited a 2010 Australian
study that linked use of personal
listening devices with a 70 percent
increased risk of hearing loss in
children.
“I think the evidence is out there
that prolonged exposure to loud
NATION
noise is likely to be harmful to hear-
ing, but that doesn’t mean kids can’t
listen to MP3 players,” Curhan said.
The study is based on data from
the National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey conducted by a
branch of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. The findings
appear in Wednesday’s Journal of the
American Medical Association.
Loud music isn’t new, of course.

WASHINGTON — The CIA has
videotapes, after all, of interroga-
tions in a secret overseas prison of
admitted 9/11 plotter Ramzi
Binalshibh.
Discovered in a box under a desk
at the CIA, the tapes could reveal
how foreign governments aided the
United States in holding and interro-
gating suspects. And they could
complicate U.S. efforts to prosecute
Binalshibh, who has been described
as one of the “key plot facilitators”
in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Apparently the tapes do not show
harsh treatment — unlike videos the
agency destroyed of the questioning
of other suspected terrorists.
The two videotapes and one
audiotape are believed to be the only
existing recordings made within the

Firefighters contained a vegeta-

Highway 1 along the San Mateo

The blaze was reported at about 3
p.m. near Gazos Creek Road, south
of Pillar Point.
Firefighters responded with a
number of crews and several air-
craft, including a helicopter and two
air tankers, Cal Fire Capt. Scott

offer a revealing glimpse into a four-
year global odyssey that ranged from
Pakistan to Romania to Guantanamo
Bay.
The tapes depict Binalshibh’s
interrogation sessions in 2002 at a
Moroccan-run facility the CIA used
near Rabat, several current and for-
mer U.S. officials told the
Associated Press. They spoke on the
condition of anonymity because the
videos remain a closely guarded
secret.
When the CIA destroyed its cache
of 92 videos of two other al-Qaida
operatives, Abu Zubaydah and Abd
al-Nashiri, being waterboarded in
2005, officials believed they had
wiped away all of the agency’s inter-
rogation footage. But in 2007, a staff
member discovered a box tucked
under a desk in the CIA’s
Counterterrorism Center and pulled
out the Binalshibh tapes.

“We had to hold back a little bit
because of the power line issue and
firefighter safety,” Green said.
The California Highway Patrol
shut down the highway in both
directions while firefighters battled
the blaze. At 4:20 p.m., one lane was
reopened and one-way traffic was
being allowed through, CHP Officer
John Short said.
Shortly before 5 p.m., firefighters
had contained the blaze to about an
acre and expected to have it con-
trolled within two hours, Green said.

an earlier agreement was not changed by a 1994

“If we owed them money of course we would

Brisbane created its Redevelopment Agency

revenue away from schools, but the city entered
into an agreement with the San Mateo County
Community College District in 1982 promising
to repay any income lost by the district due to
the agency, according to the lawsuit.
School districts are funded in two ways, per
pupil or by property taxes. The funding mecha-
nism can shift annually depending on the prop-

California school finances were changed in
1994 when Assembly Bill 1290 went into

make payments to school districts. The district
argued those payments could be changed if an
agency decided to increase the amount of debt it
could take on.
In 1995, Brisbane’s Redevelopment Agency

doing so, it altered its obligation to the school

same logic, the Redevelopment Agency would

“The elementary school district has not

planes flying extremely low.
The suit claims that Bourn was instructed
to turn right within one mile of takeoff but

President Obama’s repeated state-

prevented recovery in his most
recent letter to the editor
(“Recession far from over” in the

De Filippis seems to believe that,
because of Obama’s statements, peo-
ple stop buying and businesses
therefore don’t hire. Apparently we
are all so ignorant that but for
Obama we would not know there
was a recession. People don’t spend

Stocks rise on reports
By Stephen Bernard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
1,226.60
NEW YORK — Investors regained
some enthusiasm for stocks Tuesday,
sending prices sharply higher after
reports showed a slight improvement in
the housing market and a big jump in
industrial production.
Investors were also encouraged by
earnings from Home Depot Inc. and Wal-
Mart Stores Inc. that were better than
expected. The Dow Jones industrial aver-
age rose 103 points. All the major stock
indexes were up more than 1 percent.
Interest rates rose as investors moved out
of the bond market and back into stocks.
It’s too early to say whether stocks have
recovered from a recent slump that sent
the Dow falling almost 400 points over
four days or whether Tuesday’s advance
was an upward blip. Many traders are on
vacation or avoiding any stock moves
because of the uncertainty of the econo-
my. That means low trading volume and
price moves that can easily be exaggerat-
ed. The Dow rose almost 180 points
before falling back to its closing level.
But Tuesday’s reorts provided a slice
of optimism and some reassurance that
the economy continues to expand,
although at a slower pace than early this
year.
Stanford’s X-ray laser promises new discoveries

MENLO PARK — Stanford University
researchers said they’ve built the world’s
most powerful X-ray laser, which they
hope will lead to new discoveries in drug

The Commerce Department said con-
struction of new homes and apartments
rose 1.7 percent in July, but applications
for building permits fell by a higher than
expected 3.1 percent. Building permit
applications are considered a good gauge
of future activity.
Home sales have struggled to regain
momentum after a home buyer tax credit
expired at the end of April. So signs of
stabilization in the market are considered
somewhat positive after the sharp
declines that followed after the expira-
tion of the tax credit.
And industrial production jumped 1
percent in July, double the 0.5 percent
growth forecast by economists. Rising
output at the nation’s factories, mines and
utilities comes after multiple manufactur-
ing reports had shown a pronounced
slowdown over the past couple of

that we could not determine by any other
means,” Chu said. “Knowing those struc-
tures will lead to a deeper understanding of

Obama: Recovery to take few years

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — A campaigning
President Barack Obama said Tuesday it
will take a few years to dig the nation out
of the recession, warning impatient vot-
ers that any candidate promising faster
results “is just looking for your vote.”
The president’s economic outlook,
coming in the heat of a divisive midterm
campaign stretch, reflected his tricky
political reality. He must try to persuade
people soured by the sagging economy
that they should re-elect Democratic
leaders now, but he also is laboring to
get voters to measure his efforts with a
long view, as he looks ahead to his own
re-election campaign in 2012.

Business briefs
Banking execs say gov’t needs to back mortgages
WASHINGTON — The call from business for less govern-
ment has a notable exception: the mortgage market.
The Obama administration invited banking executives
Tuesday to offer advice on changing the government’s role in
backing the mortgage market. While they disagreed on the
exact level of support needed, the group overwhelmingly advo-
cated for the government to maintain a large role in the $11 tril-
lion market.
If the government pulled out, millions of Americans would-
n’t be able to convince banks to take the risk of giving them
home loans, the executives said. Ending government support
could lead to a spike in mortgage rates. That could deter many
from buying homes, and banks, mortgage lenders and Realtors
would lose money over time.
“It will take on a different form, but there is a role for gov-
ernment,” Kevin Chavers, a managing director at Morgan
Stanley, said in an interview.
Most attendees agreed the time had come to do away with
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Rescuing the two mortgage
giants has cost the government nearly $150 billion so far.
Bill Gross, the managing director for bond giant Pimco, sug-
gested Fannie and Freddie should be formally merged into the
government. He also called on the administration to allow mil-
lions of homeowners to automatically refinance their loans to
help stimulate the economy.
Ex-Apple manager pleads not guilty in kickbacks
SAN JOSE — A former Apple Inc. manager says he is not
guilty of charges that he helped engineer a multimillion dollar
kickback scheme involving suppliers of iPhone and iPod
accessories.
Paul Shin Devine entered the plea in a San Jose federal court
Monday after a grand jury indicted the 37-year-old Sunnyvale
man last week on charges of wire fraud and conspiracy.
Authorities say Devine accepted more than $1 million in
exchange for giving confidential information to Apple suppli-
ers in Asia. Those suppliers allegedly used the information to
negotiate favorable contracts with Cupertino-based Apple.
Authorities have not commented on the whereabouts of a
Singapore resident named as a supplier in Devine’s alleged
scam.
A bail hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
HP buying cyber security firm Fortify Software
PALO ALTO — Hewlett-Packard Co. says it is buying
Fortify Software to beef up its cyber security offerings.
The company did not disclose financial terms of the buyout
Tuesday.
Fortify is a privately held company based in San Mateo,
Calif. It helps businesses identify and fix security weaknesses
in their computer systems. HP and Fortify began marketing
their software security technology as a package last year.
For now, HP said that it will run Fortify as a standalone busi-
ness before integrating the company into its broader software

Legendary Giant Thomson dies
Bobby Thomson hit the most
famous homers in the history of

World’in 1951.
A good decision
By Emanuel Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Ed Montague had no idea what he
was going to do after serving four
years in the Navy from 1969-73.
The longtime San Mateo resident
was back home when his now
deceased mom, Fran, asked her son,
“Why don’t you try umpiring?”
“I said, ‘Why not give it a shot?’”
Montague said. “So in ’72, I went
down to the (Major League
Baseball) umpire development pro-
gram (in Florida), and the rest, you
can say, is history.”
Historic indeed. Montague, 61,
retired in February after what many
consider a stellar 34-year career as a
MLB umpire. Born in San
Francisco but raised in Daly City,
Montague wasn’t ready to call it
quits. However, the Westmoor High
graduate suffered a concussion
while umpiring a game in the open-
ing month of the 2009 season.
That, along with a bulging disc in
his neck that developed after taking
hundreds of balls to his head over
the years, sidelined Montague for
the rest of the season after working
only 23 games. Montague, who also
has had a couple of major knee sur-
geries, figured his long-term health
was more important than continuing
his career.

Giants fall apart late in loss to Phillies

By Rob Maaddi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Roy Oswalt pitched
seven sharp innings, Placido Polanco had four
hits and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the San
Francisco Giants 9-3 on Tuesday night.
The Phillies took a one-game lead over San
Francisco in the NL wild-card race. The two-
time NL champions entered 2 1/2 games
behind Atlanta in the East.
Pat Burrell homered in his first regular-sea-
son game at Citizens Bank Park since leading
the victory parade down Broad Street after the
Phillies won the 2008 World Series. Jose
Guillen also connected for the Giants.
All-Star second baseman Chase Utley went
0 for 5 in his return to Philadelphia’s lineup
Phillies 9, Giants 3
after having thumb surgery on July 1.
Oswalt (8-13) allowed three runs and six
hits, striking out seven. The three-time All-
Star is 2-1 in four starts since the Phillies
acquired him from Houston.
Barry Zito (8-7) struggled after a strong
start and ended up allowing four runs and
eight hits in five-plus innings.
Burrell, who had a love-hate relationship
with fans during nine seasons in Philadelphia,
got a standing ovation when he came to the
plate in the first inning. Burrell tipped his hel-
met to fans before stepping into the batter’s
box. But those cheers turned into boos while
he circled the bases.
Utley also received a standing ovation when
he came up in the first. He
was expected to miss at
least eight weeks after
tearing a ligament in his
right thumb.
Zito baffled the Phillies
over four innings with an
assortment of offspeed
pitches, including a slow
Pat Burrell curve clocked at 70 mph.
But the lefty couldn’t get
out of the sixth.
Polanco led off the inning with a single and
Jayson Werth lined a double to left. Shane
Victorino followed with a two-run double to
left-center, putting the Phillies up 4-2.
Guillen crushed a solo shot to left to cut it to
4-3 in the seventh.
Carlos Ruiz hit a two-run double off Chris
Ray during a five-run eighth that put the game
out of reach.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy was ejected
for arguing a balk call by Ramon Ramirez that
allowed the eighth run to score.
Jimmy Rollins lined a two-run single to
center to tie it at 2 in the fifth.
Notes: Phillies All-Star 1B Ryan Howard is
“getting close” to returning, manager Charlie
Manuel said. Howard has been sidelined with
a left ankle strain. ... Burrell has 11 homers in
57 games with the Giants. He was released by
Tampa Bay earlier in the season. ... Polanco
was 3 for 3 off Zito. He’s 12 for 16 lifetime
against him. ... A crowd of 45,401 was the
98th straight sellout at Citizens Bank Park. ...
Giants starters are 0-8 with a 5.97 ERA in the

“They (MLB) wouldn’t have cleared me to
work anyway, so that kind of helped me make
my decision,” said Montague, who played
semi-pro baseball in the Bay Area. “It was
tough because there was really never any clo-
sure. You sign off papers, retire and that’s it.
But it was a good life, a good career and a lot
of great memories.”
A lifetime of memories
Like a professional athlete whose mind was
willing but body was not, Montague had his
career cut short. But he wouldn’t really
change a thing, not after working an amazing
4,369 games, which ranked eighth all-time
entering the 2010 season. Montague’s impres-
sive resume includes working six World
Series — he was the crew chief for four of
them — and four All-Star games, serving
three as crew chief.
He was the first base umpire when Pete
Rose broke Ty Cobb’s all-time hits record in
’85, and worked a number of the more mem-
orable World Series in baseball history,
including the ’86 Fall Classic between the
Mets and Red Sox. Montague also umpired
the ’91 and ’97 World Series, both of which
concluded with a thrilling Game 7.
“There were plenty of goosebump
moments,” he said. “Things could get really
tense and exciting, and you could never get
enough of it. Being an umpire, you appreciate
great plays because you’re still a fan of the
game.”
And no one was a bigger fan of baseball
than Montague, who grew up around the game
because his dad, Ed Sr., played for the Indians
in 1928-33 and was later a scout for New
York/San Francisco Giants. In fact,
Montague’s father — who has since passed
away — was credited with signing Hall-of-
Fame center fielder Willie Mays, one of the
game’s all-time greats.

SPORTS
But umpiring never crossed Montague’s
mind until his mom brought the subject up.
Fast-tracked to the Majors
Montague made a meteoric rise through the
umpiring ranks, proving to be a natural. After
attending the umpire development program for
five weeks, Montague was assigned a job in the
single-A California League in ’72 before work-
ing two years in the Arizona Instructional
League.
In ’74, Montague got a call from his dad
telling him that he had received a letter saying
that the Triple-A Pacific Coast League had
bought his contract.
“It was very unusual to jump from Single-A to
Triple-A, but fortunately I didn’t get thrown into
the lions right away,” Montague said. “My first
partners were (former MLB umpires) Paul
Runge and Jim Quick, and they were a lot older
than me. But they took me under their wings and
I learned (how the best umpired) real quick.”
Buoyed by the turn of events, Montague did-
n’t let his rapid promotion go to waste. He
quickly established himself as one of the best
umpires in the Pacific Coast, working in the
league for two years before he was called into
the National League office — which was based
in San Francisco at the time — in ’74.
“I came home one day and my brother Mike
told me a (MLB umpire) supervisor had called
and wanted me to come down to the office,”
Montague said. “I thought they were playing a
joke on me, but they told me they had received
good reports on me and wanted to bring me to
spring training that year. It was surreal.”
No kidding. Montague was all of 25 years old
when he worked his first MLB contest later that
year, an Oct. 1 game between the San Diego
Padres and — you guessed it — the Giants, the
team for which he grew up rooting.
Montague remembers the moment like it was
yesterday. He vividly recalls putting on his gear
in the hours leading up to the game, the moment
he stepped onto the field at Candlestick Park and
the butterflies that never truly left his system.
“The funny thing that night was only 1,195
people attended that game,” Montague said.
“I’m surprised they posted the attendance
Longwell pulled into the team complex as
the fans cheered and photographers snapped
pictures, whisking him to a back entrance.
“Brett Favre for President!!” receiver
Bernard Berrian tweeted.
Favre’s website posted a message earlier
saying “stay tuned for breaking news from the
Minnesota Vikings today on Brett Favre’s
possible return.”
Presumably, Favre did not make the trip just
to tell the Vikings he was retiring, but the
team issued no formal confirmation that the
star quarterback was taking back his starting
job. He is, however, under contract — the sec-
ond season in a two-year, $25 million deal.
The Vikings instead issued a media sched-
because it was so low. But it didn’t matter to me.
My dad and mom, relatives and friends were at
the game, and I was home. The first batter of the
game got a hit on the first pitch, which was kind
of a relief because I didn’t have to call it (ball or
strike).”
Montague worked one more game that season
before being told the NL was taking him down
to spring training the following year to basically
compete for two full-time spots at the MLB
level. Of course, Montague got the position,
along with one of his mentors, Quick.
Despite having to retire earlier than expected,
Montague lasted much longer than most
umpires do.
Job takes a physical toll
One conversation with Montague, and you
realize just how grueling a profession umpiring
can be. In his first five games behind the plate
last year — Montague’s favorite place to umpire
on the field — he said he got hit “pretty good,”
meaning he took some vicious foul balls off his
mask.
“And the last one I took (April 25) pretty
much did me in,” he said. “As an umpire, you get
hit a lot, and it’s like whiplash. You know you’re
going to get hit, and you either get lucky or you
don’t.”
Translation: When Montague got extremely
unlucky, he sustained a concussion. Montague
doesn’t know how many he sustained over the
years, only that “there were more than a couple.”
There were plenty of times when Montague took
a severe head shot only to continue on umpiring.
“We just keep working because that’s what we
do,” he said. “I think if this was 15 years ago, I’d
probably still be working because (sports as a
whole) didn’t concentrate on blows to the head
or concussions like they do now. But we didn’t
like to make a big deal out of (getting hurt)
because then the crowd starts cheering.”
Ah yes, umpiring can be an unforgivable job.
Montague prided himself on consistently mak-
ing the right calls and not getting noticed,
because that means he probably did an effective
job.
“I think I was respected by the players, and
that’s what you’re looking for,” he said. “You

Favre will turn 41 in October and has flirted
with retirement for years, while playing for
the Green Bay Packers, the New York Jets and
now the Vikings. He threw 33 touchdowns
and seven interceptions last season to help
Minnesota reach the NFC title game.

don’t want your name out there, because that
means you probably messed up. My greatest sat-
isfaction was walking off the field feeling men-
tally exhausted, knowing in my heart I did a
good job.”
Still keeping busy
Montague may be retired, but he still keeps
busy. Montague, who attended his first MLB
game at Seals Stadium in ’58, likes to go out to
Giants games. Last month he was at the Oakland
Coliseum filming a scene for the upcoming
movie, “Moneyball.” In the scene, Montague
plays an umpire and ends up tossing A’s general
manager Billy Beane — played by Brad Pitt —
from the Oakland dugout.
To get a sense of just how grueling filmmak-
ing is, Montague had to do the same take 25 to
30 times. He got on set at 5:30 p.m. and didn’t
leave until 6:20 the next morning.
“Doing that made me appreciate how hard
actors work,” said Montague, who actually had
to try out for the part. “We did the same take for
five hours, over and over again. We were actual-
ly done at 1:30 (a.m.) or so, but you have to sit
around for a while because they may have to
redo something. That whole night they might
have filmed four minutes of the movie. I don’t
think Brad Pitt realized I was a regular umpire
until I screamed at him (on the fourth take). It
was a fun experience, because it wasn’t like I
was acting. I just went out and did what I always
do — umpire.”
MLB has enough instant replay
So what does Montague feel about instant
replay? He’s fine with using technology on
home run calls because of today’s ballpark con-
figurations but isn’t in favor of using it in other
aspects of the game.
“With plays at first base or bang-bang plays, I
think using instant replay would slow the game
down a lot and take away from the game,” he
said. “I’m old school and I don’t agree with the
movement towards using more replay.”
In terms of Montague’s performance, no
replay is needed. San Mateo’s own had a career
many would envy.
some team officials earlier in August that it
hadn’t healed enough for him to return for a
20th NFL season.
Yet no one in the organization fully bought
into that — partly because they went through
a similar ordeal in 2009.
Last year, Favre told the team on the eve of
training camp that he was going to stay retired
only to return the Tuesday after their first pre-
season game. The Vikings played their first
exhibition game of 2010, a 28-7 win over the
Rams, on Saturday and will visit San
Francisco on Sunday night this week.
Not to mention, soon after Favre showed
signs of waffling this year, his agent said he’d
play if he was healthy.

Asomugha out to prove he’s the best
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

holdout with the New York Jets in hopes of a
new contract befitting a player many think is
the best cornerback in the NFL, Oakland’s
Nnamdi Asomugha is working on taking that
title back.
The Raiders finally appear willing to let him,
too.
After being tethered almost exclusively to
the right side of Oakland’s secondary, the two-
time Pro Bowl defensive back is getting his
freedom and will roam the field covering oppo-
nents’ top receiver no matter where he lines up.
It’s a change in strategy and philosophy for

favored by owner Al Davis, a change the 29-
year-old Asomugha fully embraces.

Gore welcomes Westbrook into 49ers backfield
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — Before San Francisco
added free agent Brian Westbrook to its backfield
this week, the 49ers made it a point to consult with
Frank Gore first.
The two-time Pro Bowl running back, who has
led the team in rushing each of the past five sea-
sons, quickly gave his blessing.
“I thought if he could help my team get better
and help us go to another level, I’m fine with it,”
Gore said Tuesday after San Francisco’s single
practice. “He’s been a great back in this league for
a long time. I already started asking him questions,
but I feel he can help me get better.”
Westbrook signed a one-year deal with the
49ers on Monday and was greeted by a loud
applause from 49ers fans attending the team’s
open practice Tuesday as he trotted onto the field
for the first workout with his new team.

because we’re doing it (in practice) more and
they’re allowing it to happen more,” Asomugha
said this week. “Me being able to play in the
slot on third down ... I’ve wanted that for a
while.”
Asomugha was widely recognized as the top
defensive back in the league when he grabbed
a career-high eight interceptions in 2006 and
garnered his first Pro Bowl selection.
Opponents became so frustrated they nearly
quit throwing to Asomugha’s side of the field
entirely.
In 2009, quarterbacks attempted only 28
passes in Asomugha’s direction compared to
111 for Revis. The lack of action cemented
Asomugha’s reputation in the eyes of some but
created doubt among others.
That’s why the eight-year veteran is welcom-

vidual drills and did some
light running but spent much
of the two-hour workout as a
spectator while Gore and
rookie Anthony Dixon han-
dled the reps on offense.
“The hardest thing to do is
Frank Gore sit on the sidelines and watch
but that’s probably the best
way to learn,” Westbrook said. “Hopefully it’s
quick, and I’m gonna do everything I can to make
it as painless and as quick as possible.”
San Francisco needed help in its backfield after
the surprisingly abrupt retirement of Glen Coffee
after one year.

Oakland cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha,
shown here stripping Buffalo receiver Lee
Evans of the ball, is out to reclaim the title of
best shut-down corner in the NFL.
Singletary made that point clear when San
Francisco announced the Westbrook signing.
Gore, a third-round draft pick in 2005, likes
leading the 49ers’ ground game but welcomes the
addition of a back with the experience of
Westbrook.
Westbrook led the NFL with 2,104 yards from
scrimmage in 2007 but his production dropped
dramatically last season when he missed eight
games with a pair of concussions and an ankle
injury.
“I know that we needed another back and he
was the best one out there, and we feel that he can
help our team,” Gore said. “I watched him a whole
lot, especially when he was in Philly because he
was a guy I had to compete against for yards and
receiving yards. He watched me in practice
(today) and I asked him to help me with the things
he sees that I can carry over on the field.”
Singletary didn’t rule out the possibility of using

I’m having the game of my life and no one
knows it,” Asomugha said. “That’s rough. No
one sees it. The offenses see it, the people that
watch film see it but the fans don’t see it.”
Not that Asomugha is motivated by public
opinion, though he could easily make a career
change and enter politics if he wanted. He has
rubbed elbows with presidents and other world
dignitaries, is a mentor to teens and is deeply
involved in numerous charity and volunteer
efforts in the Bay Area.
Asomugha is also the face of Oakland’s
defense. While Richard Seymour has the cham-
pionships and Tommy Kelly has the money, it’s
Asomugha who commands the most respect on
and off the field.
Still, there are many who believe Revis is the
better cornerback. His current holdout was
reportedly sparked by his desire to get a better
contract than the $45.3 million, three-year deal
Asomugha received in 2009.
both Gore and Westbrook in the same backfield. In
addition to 5,995 career rushing yards, Westbrook
also has 426 receptions for 3,790 yards in eight
seasons.
Gore, who already ranks fourth on the 49ers’
career rushing list with 5,561 yards, is averaging
more than 52 catches over the past four seasons.
The potential explosiveness that he and Westbrook
present should pose a significant challenge for
defenses.
“A lot of weapons,” Gore said. “We do have per-
sonnel like that, with two halfbacks in the game.
Both running backs out of the backfield can catch
the ball well and I think that’s going to be great.”
Notes: K Joe Nedney kicked on his own but it’s
still uncertain if he’ll play in this week’s preseason
game against Minnesota. ... TE Vernon Davis
(strained knee) rode a stationary bicycle but did
not take part in any team work.

have yet to revoke or suspend a single license,
or invoke penalties of any sort. Likewise for
the Federal Trade Commission, which in 2004
was given oversight authority by Congress.
“The actions of sports agents can do enor-
mous damage to schools, to student-athletes
and to the integrity of college athletics,” said
Rep. Bart Gordon, D-Tenn., who sponsored
the federal law six years ago and now says it
may be time to toughen sanctions against
unethical agents. “Unfortunately, the sports
agent involved has often walked away with no
punishment.”
The unions set rules for athlete agents, but

Continued from page 12
hit .270 with 264 career home runs and 1,026
RBIs from 1946-60 with several teams. He led
the league in a hitting category only once, and
that was for triples.
But the fly ball that flew over the wall vaulted
“The Flying Scot” to a place of almost mythic
status. There have been plenty of historic home
runs over the years — Bill Mazeroski, Kirk
Gibson, Carlton Fisk and Joe Carter, to name a
few — but Thomson’s shot stands as the giant
among them all.
The tall, lanky and self-effacing Thomson,
however, was stunned that in a lineup that
included future Hall of Famers Willie Mays and
SPORTS
those focus more on the relationship between
agents and current pros rather than prospective
clients still in school.
NCAA rules, meanwhile, do allow agents to
meet with college athletes. However, they for-
bid those students from entering into contracts
— including oral deals — with agents or
accepting meals, gifts, transportation and
other incentives as a hook to sign contracts
later. The problem is that NCAA regulations
apply to athletes and schools, not the agents
themselves.
So when Heisman Trophy winner Reggie
Bush was found to have received improper
benefits at Southern California, the perennial
football power was the one punished most —
losing scholarships and getting banned from
bowl games for two years, among other things.
Now the football programs at Florida and
Monte Irvin, he would hit the pennant-winning
homer. He called himself “the accidental hero.”
Thomson never quite understood all the fuss
the homer created. On its 40th anniversary in
1991, he said, “I can’t believe we’re still talking
about it.”
“Bobby Thomson will always hold a special
place in our game for hitting one of the signature
home runs in baseball history. ’The Shot Heard
’Round the World’ will always remain a defining
moment for our game, illustrating the timeless
quality of the national pastime,” commissioner
Bud Selig said.
The home run decided one of the most mem-
orable pennant races, and later led to one of its
most-debated questions: Did he know Branca
was going to throw the high-and-inside fastball
that Thomson hit out of the park?
More than a half-century later, it was revealed
the Giants during the season had used a buzzer-
Alabama — the last two national champions
— are under investigation for alleged improp-
er contact. So is North Carolina, among oth-
ers.
A decade ago, when at least 28 states had
varied agent oversight laws, the NCAA lob-
bied state lawmakers to embrace standardized
rules for sports agents.
The result was the Uniform Athletes Agent
Act, which is on the books in 39 states. The
UAAA is also under consideration in
California, which along with Michigan and
Ohio has its own laws to deal with agent over-
sight.
In addition to mandatory registration, the
law requires agents to notify schools immedi-
ately when they sign college athletes. The stu-
dents are given 14 days to change their mind
and cancel contracts. And schools have the
and-telescope system to steal signals from
opposing catchers. Helped by the inside infor-
mation, the Giants overcame a 13 1/2-game
deficit to the Dodgers, won 37 of their final 44
games and forced a playoff.
Thomson always insisted he did not know
what pitch was coming when he connected.
Branca was never quite so sure.
For years, Thomson and Branca appeared
together at functions of all kinds, a modern-day
Abbott & Costello act, their retelling of the
moment filled with fine-tuned comic touches
and playful jabs. Often, Branca would prompt
Thomson to claim more of the credit.
Only one thing was missing from their act: the
home run ball itself. The prize remains an elu-
sive souvenir, with several people claiming to
have it but no one able to prove.
“We did award shows, dinners, autograph
shows, golf outings, maybe five or six a year,”
Branca said.
Thomson moved south about five years ago
to be closer to one of his daughters. Branca
said he hadn’t seen him for a couple of years.
Long after the Giants and Dodgers left town
and moved west, Thomson remained a recog-
nized figure on New York streets. Taxi drivers,
office workers and pedestrians of a certain age
would stop him or call out his name — the old

THE DAILY JOURNAL
legal right to sue agents who violate the law —
though that option is rarely exercised. Agents
who fail to comply can be punished with civil
or criminal penalties.
Here’s the catch: The laws are rarely
enforced.
The AP requested statistics on the number of
registered agents, license revocations and sus-
pensions and other penalties from each state.
(Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts,
Montana, New Jersey, Vermont and Virginia
lack such laws.)
Twenty-four states reported taking no disci-
plinary or criminal action against sports
agents, and were unable to determine if state
or local prosecutors had pursued such cases.
Others described the laws as being enforced a
few times, or rarely — an indication of what a
low priority they are.
so much.
Thomson hit a career-high 32 home runs in
1951, and his shot on Oct. 3 sent the Giants into
the World Series the next day. He hit a mere .238
without a home run as his team lost in six games
to the crosstown New York Yankees, who were
in the midst of winning a record five straight
crowns.
The luster from Thomson’s shot, though,
never dimmed. There was even a funny post-
script, provided by the great Yogi Berra.
Berra and some of his Yankees teammates
attended Game 3 of the Dodgers-Giants playoff,
eager to see which team they would face. But
after Brooklyn scored three times in the eighth
inning for a 4-1 lead, Berra decided he’d seen
enough and wanted to beat the late-afternoon
traffic.
Yep, it’s true. The man who coined the phrase
“it ain’t over till it’s over” thought it was over
and actually left the Polo Grounds and was driv-
ing home when Thomson homered.
“Bobby was a heck of a guy,” Berra said
Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.
Thomson’s home run came during an era that
baseball fondly calls “The Golden Age,” a time
when the sport was No. 1 in America and New
York was its epicenter. The pennant race
between those longtime rivals, the Giants and
Dodgers, only heightened the tension.

Burger from four cuts of meat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
When Tyler Florence was creating
hamburgers for his new restaurant, his
goal was simple — a burger that stays
moist no matter how well-done it is
cooked.
The solution was all a matter of num-
bers — one month of experimenting
with the percentage of fat and the num-
ber of cuts of meat.
“Most people do an 80-20 lean-to-fat
ratio,” Florence, whose Wayfare Tavern
opened recently in San Francisco, said in
a telephone interview. “We go 75-to-25
ratio, so it’s a little fattier. So even if you
like it well done, it’s still nice and
moist.”
For the cuts of meat, Florence settled
on four of them — prime rib, brisket,
skirt steak and filet. And after they are
ground (at another facility), it’s mostly a
hands-off procedure.
“When it comes in, no one is really
allowed to touch it except to take it out
of the package and weigh it out,” said
Florence, host of Food Network’s “The
Great Food Truck Race.” “It gets
touched once before it goes on the grill.

’Eat Pray Love’exalts purists’gelato in Rome By Frances D’Emilio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROME — Named for a saint and naturally
tasting heavenly, San Crispino gelato already
was a pass-the-word must for devotees of the
Italian treat.
Then a Roman bus driver gave Elizabeth
Gilbert the buzz — “The Best Gelato In
Rome” — and San Crispino became
enshrined in her how-I-found-the-real-me
journey-memoir, “Eat Pray Love.” Fans have
been making pilgrimages for melt-in-your-
mouth inspiration ever since.
In the book that’s now become a movie
Gilbert recounts her rapturous encounter, not
once, but three times in one day, with the gela-
to. In a single, mouthwatering paragraph, she
waxes enthusiastic about the flavors. First she

with a puckish look on her face and a cup of
(presumably) San Crispino ice cream in her
hand as she sits on a stone bench in Piazza
Navona.
Gelato worshippers intent on finding this
Roman temple of gelato, however, don’t get
much help from Gilbert. She doesn’t say just
where she had her San Crispino gelato.
Did love-at-first-lick come on Via della
Panettieria, a narrow street near Trevi
Fountain?
Or at the San Crispino franchise — horrors!
yes, the “best” gelato in Rome is franchised
— on Piazza della Maddalena, a tiny square
behind the Pantheon?
Or perhaps at the gelateria where the two
brothers who founded San Crispino opened
their first location, in 1992, on Via Acaia in

A healthy take on grilled chicken Caesar salad
By Jim Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
If your idea of a virtuous dinner
out is ordering the grilled chicken
Caesar salad, you should prepare
yourself for some disappointment.
These salads may sound light, but
they can pack some serious fat and
calories. At one national chain
restaurant, for example, the grilled
chicken Caesar salad serves up more
than 1,000 calories and 64 grams of
fat.
These salads sound healthy
because the basic components are —
greens and boneless, skinless chick-
en breast. It’s when you dump on
buttery croutons, shredded cheese,
fatty dressings and crumbled bacon
that the trouble starts.
But at home you can make a din-
ner-sized salad to feel good about.
This grilled chicken salad is tossed
with a low-fat dressing made with
the richly flavored pulp of roasted
garlic (an excellent stand-in for fat).
For this dressing, which can be
made up to two days in advance and
stored, covered, in the refrigerator,
the roasted garlic is pureed with
creamy nonfat yogurt and just a few
tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil.
The dressing gets an added burst
of flavor from a small amount of
Parmesan cheese as well as a few
anchovy fillets, which are traditional
Caesar ingredients.
And don’t fear the anchovies.
They add an irreplaceable flavor and

Wednesday • Aug. 18, 2010 21
1 cup fat-free croutons
Shredded Parmesan cheese, for
garnish (optional)
Lemon wedges
Heat the oven to 400 F.
To make the dressing, on a cutting
board, using a sharp knife, slice
about 1/2-inch off the top of each
head of garlic, exposing the individ-
ual cloves. Set each head on a square
of foil and sprinkle with a table-
spoon of water. Pinch together the
edges of the foil to create a packet.
Roast for 45 minutes. Unwrap and
let cool slightly before squeezing the
pulp from the cloves.
In the bowl of a food processor or
blender, combine the roasted garlic
pulp, yogurt, cheese, oil, lemon
juice, vinegar, mustard and
anchovies. Process until smooth.
Season with salt and pepper, then
cover and refrigerate until ready to
use.
To make the salad, heat a gas grill
to medium-high or light a charcoal
fire.
Rub the chicken with oil and sea-
son with salt. Coat the outsides
heavily with pepper. Grill the chick-
en until browned and a thermometer
reads 165 F at the center.
In a large bowl, combine the let-
tuce and croutons. Toss with 1/2 cup
of the dressing, then divide among 4
plates. Cut the chicken into 1/2-inch
slices and arrange over the salad.
Garnish with shredded Parmesan
cheese, if desired. Serve immediate-
ly, with lemon wedges.

Wherever Gilbert had her gelato epiphany,
“we are happy we were cited in the book and
especially that she liked our gelato,” Pasquale
Alongi, one of the brothers, modestly said as
lemons were squeezed for San Crispino’s
“limone” gelato in the “laboratory” on Via

their mother from the South Tyrol region near
Austria. Their father is from Sicily, also known
for the freshest of ingredients, such as the pista-
chios from Bronte, a town on the slopes of the
Etna volcano. They are the only pistachios the
brothers consider good enough to use in San
Crispino gelato. “When we make lemon flavor,
we use only good Amalfi lemons,” said
Pasquale. “If we don’t find them, we do not
make the lemon flavor.”
That would be a shame. San Crispino’s lemon
gelato coats the tongue with silkiness bordering
on sensual, yet presents enough pizazz to
almost cause a pucker.
And there are no cones at San Crispino

Lady Gaga will return to the Bay Area March 22,2011 at the Oracle Arena in Oakland.
Lady Gaga brings the ‘wow’
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It isn’t often you’ll go to a concert
where you are amazed from the moment
you park at the arena and step outside to
when you lay your head to rest that night
— and the word you keep repeating is
“wow.”
Apparently, Lady Gaga has that kind
of effect on people.
Gaga rolled through the Bay Area on
her “The Monster Ball Tour” and, with
the help of thousands of her “little mon-
sters,” tore the roof off the sold-out HP
Pavilion in San Jose. On stage and off,
her latest performance is a prime exam-
ple of why there isn’t a bigger or better
draw in the music industry today.
That’s because Gaga has done what
few artists these days have been able to
do — transcend music to the point a
concert becomes an event, a spectacle,
dare I say, like the Super Bowl of the
summer.
Judging by the scene at the HP
Pavilion, people had been preparing for
this concert for a while. They were elab-
orate ensembles that ran the gamut of
style — from fishnet stockings and intri-
cate head pieces to glittered out leotards
and pouches of fake blood. Not your typ-
ical concert.
As a music act alone, Lady Gaga is
special. Her two-hour set is complex,
layered, art — what you’ve heard about
the over-the-top stage sets, costume
changes (of which I counted nine) and

The mother claims to have clearly
informed police dispatch that her son
was depressed after calling 911 Monday
night and then informed the two officers
who arrived to her home that her son was
special and needed help.
“Why did I call the police? I should
have never have called. I called for hope.
I didn’t want the police to kill my son. It
is my fault,” Aristondo said.
Burlingame police Capt. Mike
Matteucci confirmed that the mother did
warn dispatch Monday night about her
son’s depression before the two officers
arrived at the scene.
“We have responded to the home a
number of times for similar disturbances
but he was never arrested,” Matteucci
said.
Aristondo was holding a large serrated
steak knife, Matteucci said.
The Aristondos live in a small cottage
behind the main house at 217 Myrtle
Road. Edgar Aristondo allegedly came
out of his cottage and approached his
mother, a family friend and two police
officers through a narrow corridor on the
side of the main house as they discussed
overall shock value is true. But an
important thing to point out is that,
amongst all that, Gaga’s music is never
lost. Separated into a handful of acts and
presented as a journey to, “The Monster
Ball,” Lady Gaga’s fans were treated to
all her hits — “Just Dance,” “Alejandro,”
“Poker Face,” the dance numbers the
artist rode to meteoric stardom.
But mixed in were interludes in which
Gaga would show off her musical talent
say, by opening the hood of a busted-up
yellow taxi to expose a piano she’d tick-
le for a couple of bars, or strap on a key-
tar and play the intro to one of her songs.
Sure the show is loud and proud, but
Gaga made it a point to show that amidst
all the noise she surrounded herself with,
at her core, she is about the music and
about that journey that “will set you
free.”
Nowhere was that more evident then
during her rendition of “Speechless,” a
song she said she wrote about her father,
which she performed solo on a grand
piano that, of course, was in flames. She
also performed “You and I,” which Gaga
said, would be on her upcoming record,
in similar fashion. Her musical talents
cannot be overlooked.
Lady Gaga’s love affair with her mon-
sters, her interaction with them through-
out the trip to the Monster Ball was a
highlight — what comes across as gen-
uine devotion between artist and fans is
touching. During a time she took to
speak about one of her sponsors donat-
ing money to her favorite charity, Gaga
was showered with gifts flung toward
the situation on the sidewalk.
Police approached Aristondo in the
corridor, and then shot him moments
later, the mother said.
A neighbor said she heard three or
four shots fired although Matteucci
could not confirm that.
Aristondo had a knife, according to
police, and advanced on the officers.
The officers attempted to detain or
arrest Aristondo but due to his actions
they were forced to defend themselves,
according to police. One officer fired his
Taser but Aristondo continued to
advance, according to police.
“An officer attempted to deploy the
Taser but it didn’t strike,” Matteucci
said.
Aristondo was then struck by gunfire
and the officers immediately began to
render aid, according to police.
Gladys Aristondo tried to see her son
after he was shot but was kept back by
police, she said.
“They wouldn’t even let me see him,”
she said.
Edgar Aristondo graduated from
Peninsula High School in 1988 and had
lived at the Myrtle Road home for 15
years. He was an avid video game play-
er who also liked dogs.
“He had a nice heart. He never took
anything from anybody,” his mother
said.

her on stage. The artist took the time to
bend down, pick up some of the gar-
ments and play dress-up with a shirt, a
flower for her hair, decked-out sunglass-
es, calling herself ‘the epitome of fash-
ion” when she was done and performing
“Telephone,” in the process.
But beyond the hits, the stage pres-
ence, the interaction, to truly appreciate
and be awed by Gaga’s latest visit you
have to step back and look at what her
music has done and how it serves as a
tool to unify such a diverse spectrum of
people — it truly was a melting pot of
cultures.
You had your 20-somethings, your
gays, your grandfathers, hipsters, your
group of 40-something-year-old moms
who did their best to squeeze into skinny
jeans, stilettos, tight tops and just let
loose for a night. Over-the-top by “nor-
mal” standards? Sure. But Gaga put it
best when she said that “the Monster
Ball is a place where tonight, all the
freaks are outside.”
It’s true, the underlying theme
throughout the night was “beauty,” and
how Gaga has changed it from a word
with a soft connotation to something that
is loud, in your face and unapologetic.
“You can be whoever you want to be,”
she said. It really is a dazzling thing to
observe and witness — a “wow” experi-
ence of the truest form.
Lady Gaga will return to the Bay Area
March 22, 2011 at the Oracle Arena in
Oakland. Tickets can be purchased at
www.livenation.com.
Police blocked off Myrtle Road
between Howard and Burlingame
avenues and were on the scene until 3
a.m., neighbors said.
Celestino Luque, Edgar Aristondo’s
uncle, described his nephew as humble
and quiet.
“He was a little peculiar,” Luque said.
“The police were warned he had some
mental issues. He shouldn’t be dead.”
The family was making funeral
arrangements for Edgar Aristondo yes-
terday.
“I never in my life will forget this.
What they did,” his mother said.
An autopsy is scheduled for today at 1
p.m., according to San Mateo County
Coroner Robert Foucrault.
The San Mateo County District
Attorney’s Office is investigating the
shooting along with Burlingame police.
The involved officers have been placed
on paid administrative leave while the
investigation is under way.
The last homicide in Burlingame was
Sept. 30, 2007, a shooting on Highway
101 just north of the Broadway exit. The
last officer-involved shooting in
Burlingame was Nov. 3, 2002 at the Red
Rood Inn on Airport Boulevard.

If you play your cards right, your material trends can begin
moving in an upward direction in the year ahead. By handling
your funds thoughtfully and wisely, you can establish a size-
able nest egg by this time next year.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Be cognizant about what you are
spending, especially those little, nothing expenditures that
can add up like crazy. Keep your wits about you, be sensible
about your purchases and count the change.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Your awareness of small details
is extremely acute, which is well-and-good. Just don’t
become so obsessed with what and how to do things that you
become unproductive.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - When with a sensitive friend,
weigh your words with considerable care. An off-the-cuff,
thoughtless remark could be so abrasive to him/her that it
leaves a scar no bandage could cover.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Being in the presence of a
penny-pincher is likely to make you so uncomfortable that
there will be no way to relax and have a good time. Select
companions who are equally as generous as you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Be extra mindful of your
behavior and remarks when in the presence of anyone who
could influence your success or failure. Everything you say or
do may be critically evaluated and catalogued.
to pry unflattering information about mutual acquaintances
from you. Be on guard, because s/he is pretty tricky.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Although they may be well-
intentioned, friends with financial tips are likely to be unquali-
fied to give any advice. Do not take anything at face value
when it comes to investment information.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - For the sake of your reputa-
tion, be prepared to stand behind any commitment you make,
especially if it is financial. If you advise another and s/he
loses, it needs to be on your back.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - If someone asks you to perform
a critical task, don’t pretend you can do it or think you can,
even though you have no experience. You’ll be held account-
able if you botch things up.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Little things that appear to be
insignificant can actually turn out to be vitally important, so
do not take even the smallest detail for granted, especially
those that to your financial affairs.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - In order to succeed, you need
to place great importance on praising people while avoiding
criticism of others. If you desire to maintain harmony within
your home or workplace, let tolerance set the tone.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Wishful thinking isn’t going to
get anything done. If you want something to be accomplished, Sudoku
be prepared to roll up your sleeves and swing into action.

A Palestinian man known to Israeli police was shot and wounded by Turkish embassy security guards on Tuesday
after breaking into the mission in Tel Aviv and holding hostages.

Israeli military fights Internet Residents mourn as they wait to claim bodies of bomb attack victims

By Josef Federman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — The security
obsessed Israeli military is con-
fronting a new adversary — trying
to control what its own soldiers post
to the Internet.
Facebook, along with YouTube
and other popular sites, is turning
into a formidable nuisance for the
army, as young recruits in this tech-
crazy country post embarrassing
and potentially sensitive informa-
tion online, circumventing tight mil-
itary controls.
The issue exploded onto the
national agenda this week when a
young ex-soldier posted pictures of
herself in uniform, posing in front of
handcuffed, blindfolded Palestinian
prisoners on her Facebook page
under the heading “Army — The
Best Time of My Life.”
The controversial posting, along
with a series of other recent gaffes,
highlights the challenges facing
Israel’s high-tech military —
known, among other things, for its
shadowy electronic-warfare units —
as it struggles to keep up with the
ever-shifting sands of the Internet.
Palestinian who attacked Bomber kills 61 Iraqis
in recruitment drive
Turkish Embassy captured
By Ami Bentov
and Mark Lavie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEL AVIV, Israel — A
Palestinian who broke into the
Turkish Embassy in Israel trying to
take hostages and demanding asy-
lum was turned over to Israeli
authorities late Tuesday, ending a
tense standoff.
Seven hours after he forced his
way into the embassy, the attacker
was escorted out of the embassy
and bundled into an Israeli ambu-
lance. Wearing a light blue shirt and
limping slightly from an apparent
gunshot wound, he raised his arms
briefly and shouted before Israeli
police and paramedics subdued
him.
An hour earlier, the Turkish gov-
ernment said it had the situation in
hand.
“Our embassy guards neutralized
the individual as he tried to take the
vice consul as hostage after shout-
ing around for asylum,” the Turkish
statement said, adding he was
armed with a knife, a gasoline can
and a gun that turned out to be a toy.
Israeli Foreign Ministry
spokesman Yigal Palmor identified
the attacker as Nadim Injaz, a
Palestinian from the West Bank
town of Ramallah. Israeli police
said Injaz was recently released
from prison after serving time for
an attack on the British Embassy
four years ago, also to seek asylum.
Channel 2 TV played a recording
of a phone call it said came from the
attacker.
“I have two hostages,” he said in
Hebrew. “I will blow up the
embassy. ... If they don’t let me
leave this country now I will burn
down the whole building. I will
burn everything. I will burn the
cars, the doors I will break down the
doors. I will break everything.”
By Lara Jakes Jordan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD — Young men from
some of Iraq’s poorest areas waited
all night outside an army recruitment
center, only to become easy prey
Tuesday for a suicide bomber who
killed 61 in the crowd. Desperate for
jobs, dazed survivors rushed to get
back in line after the attack.
Officials quickly blamed al-Qaida
for the deadliest single act of vio-
lence in the capital in months. Police
said 125 people were wounded.
Bodies of bloodied young men,
some still clutching job applications
in their hands, were scattered on the
ground outside the headquarters’
gate. Soldiers collected bits of flesh
and stray hands and legs as frantic
Iraqis showed up to search for rela-
tives.
The early morning bombing in
central Baghdad starkly displayed
Iraqi forces’ failure to plug even the
most obvious holes in their security
two weeks before the formal end of
the U.S. combat role in Iraq.
Army and police recruitment cen-
ters have been frequent targets for
militants, underscoring the determi-
nation of the applicants to risk their
lives for work in a country with an
unemployment rate estimated as
high as 30 percent.
“I have to get this job at any cost in
order to feed my family,” said Ali
Ahmed, 34, a father of two who
returned to the bloody street after
taking a friend to the hospital. “I
have no option but to come back to
the line. If there were other job
opportunities, I would not be here in
the first place.”
Ali Ibrahim, 21, who suffered
minor shrapnel wounds in the blast,
returned to the line after his release
from the hospital.
“I came back with my friend to try
to get in. We are forced to come back
for the sake of earning a living by
securing the job,” said Ibrahim, who
had been waiting since 3 a.m.
