Budget plan or sham?

Democrats pass budget,GOP lawmakers say proposal not intended to stand

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO The state Legislature on Wednesday passed a Democratic budget for the coming scal year that eliminates the states remaining $9.6 billion decit, but the plan was derided as a sham by Republicans and widely seen as a

mere placeholder that will allow lawmakers to continue getting their paychecks as negotiations continue. If lawmakers had missed the constitutional June 15 deadline
for sending a balanced budget to the governor, they would have forfeited $261 a day in salary and $142 in payments for daily expenses under a voter initiative passed last year. Republican lawmakers said the Democratic proposal was thrown together and was not intended to stand. I wish that we had a chance to vote on a real budget today, said
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, RTwin Peaks. Instead, were going to vote on what is effectively the legislative paycheck protection plan. Democratic leaders acknowledged that the plan was not the budget they and Gov. Jerry Brown really want. That hoped-for budget which some Democratic lawmakers refer
to as Plan A includes a temporary extension of expiring tax increases to fund schools in the coming scal year and an authorization for a special election this fall so voters can decide whether to extend the tax hikes for an even longer period. The last of the tax hikes passed in

Foster City officials agree to foot bill but want a plan for the future
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Two weeks ago, Foster City was set to eliminate funding for school crossing guards next school year as a way to trim from its ongoing structural decit. The city partnered with the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District almost 10 years ago to fund crossing guards at the citys three elementary schools. Two years ago, however, the city increased its funding for crossing guards when the district was going through some nancial troubles. But now the city has its own nancial woes and has sought ways

to balance its budget by eliminating some of the programs it supports. Crossing guards, senior shuttles and other services were considered for elimination next scal year as the city focuses on providing its residents core services in the down economy. In a special budget study session June 6, a long line of Foster City residents each stood up and urged the council to keep the funding in place so children will remain safe before and after school when parents drop them off and pick them up.

Belmont-Redwood Shores officials to vote on way to solve overcrowding
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo County could one day join Daly City and Pacica in banning or limiting payday loans, a practice that takes more than $9 million in fees from cash-strapped residents, but Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson said a prohibition is pointless without a viable alternative. It doesnt do us much good if we dont have somewhere else for peo-
ple to turn, Jacobs Gibson said. Those who use them are needing immediate cash and we cant leave them no option at all. Jacobs Gibson and her staff are currently discussing possible alternatives with legal aid and advocacy groups, particularly in areas like North Fair Oaks and the coastside where there may be a predominant need. She hopes to have something concrete to bring forward in the coming
months. In the meantime, Jacobs Gibson wants to curb the potential impact of compounding payday lending debt by opposing a state bill that would increase the amount clients are allowed to borrow. Assembly Bill 1158, authored by Assemblyman Charles Calderon, DWhittier, proposes increasing the amount allowed by law from $300 to $500.
See LOANS, Page 20
Moving boundaries or getting rid of them to solve an overcrowding issue are the two choices which will go before the Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary School District Board tonight. The decision will come two weeks after the board opted to study getting rid of boundaries, after hours
of debate, rather than vote. The delay allowed staff to study the logistics of getting rid of boundaries before a nal vote. Under such a system, no one would be assigned a school. Everyone would register with the district and be placed as space permits. On Tuesday, the Alternatives Committee vetted the idea and a

Strange but True

Road trip scheduled for 340-ton California rock
RIVERSIDE A 340-ton boulder is quickly becoming a rock legend and is ready for a road trip. The granite will be moved from a Riverside-area quarry to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art where it will be the centerpiece of a permanent exhibit called Levitated Mass by earth artist Michael Heizer. A 200-foot trailer with 200 wheels has been built for the 21-foot high, 680,000pound rock. Too heavy for Southern California freeways, the rock will roll along surface streets at seven miles per day a nineday trip. Its scheduled to leave Riverside on Aug. 5. Stone Valley Materials co-owner Stephen Vander Hart told the Riverside Press-Enterprise the move will cost about $1.5 million. Museum ofcials say all costs are being paid with private donations. The exhibit is expected to open in mid-November. and a box from a nearby hotel and took the hawk to a veterinary hospital. The bird was later taken to the Audubon Society, which says the hawk probably fell from a nest near the KGW Audubon Raptor Cam. The remote camera records the activity of a raptor family and is shown on a website that has become popular. One of the three chicks sustained a leg injury last week. water. And they were so numerous that Ben Sessions once killed 42 in a single day. Shortly after buying their dream home, Sessions and his wife discovered it was infested with thousands of garter snakes. For the next three months, their growing family lived as if in a horror movie. More than a year after they abandoned the property, the home briey went back on the market, and they fear it could someday attract another unsuspecting buyer. The ve-bedroom house stands on nearly two pastoral acres in rural Idaho, about 125 miles southwest of Yellowstone National Park. Priced at less than $180,000, it seemed like a steal. But the young couple soon learned they would be sharing the home with reptiles at least two feet long that had crawled into seemingly every crevice. While setting up a chicken coop, Sessions lifted a piece of sheet metal and was startled to see a pair of snakes slither away. A few days later, he found more and soon started to collect dozens in buckets. At times, there were so many in the yard that the grass seemed to move. If he rapped a stick against the roof overhang, he could hear dozens scatter, their scales sliding against the aluminum. After he removed some panels of siding, dozens of snakes popped out. When he made his way through the crawl space to investigate further, he found snakes everywhere. Thats when he realized his family was probably living atop a garter snake den where the nonpoisonous reptiles congregate in the fall and winter.

School district turns lawn care over to sheep

CARLISLE, Pa. A central Pennsylvania school has a woolly plan to keep its grass neatly trimmed. The Carlisle Area School District says it can save up to $15,000 a year by turning over some landscaping chores to sheep. The Patriot-News of Harrisburg reports the district is using the sheep to keep the grass near its solar panels neatly trimmed. The sheep nibble grass in the morning and take refuge in the shade of the panels in the afternoon. With the food already on hand, the district need only supply the sheep with water. A middle school assistant principal is providing the sheep. Eric Sands says hes still trying to gure out exactly how many sheep he needs to use to keep the area clear.

HP suing Oracle as tech big shots animosity grows

By Jordan Robertson
SAN FRANCISCO Hewlett-Packard Co. has sued its friend-turned-foe Oracle Corp. in another sign of how badly the relationship between the information technology big shots has frayed. The lawsuit, led Wednesday in Santa Clara County Superior Court, accuses Oracle of behaving illegally in deciding that future versions of its database software wont support a particular line of HP servers. Those servers use a chip called Itanium that Oracle insists is being phased out, a claim the chips maker, Intel Corp., denies. The argument centers on a technical issue that reects a broader ssure between the companies. Oracle and its outspoken CEO Larry Ellison are trying to take more turf from longtime partner HP, which is recovering from scandal.
The rivalry ratcheted up last year when Mark Hurd was forced to resign as HPs CEO and wound up working for his friend Ellison as an Oracle co-president. The hiring prompted HP to sue Hurd, alleging he couldnt do the job without divulging HP trade secrets. That lawsuit was settled. The latest dustup shows that the animosity between the companies continues to grow. The dispute involves a chip that has been mocked for a decade one sneering nickname for Itanium is Itanic because it has failed to transform the semiconductor world the way Intel and HP originally envisioned. Still, HP machines built on the chip have found some customers, and Oracle has worked closely with HP to make sure that its software is compatible. Itaniums demise has been a source of speculation for years, but Oracle now claims it has evidence that Intel plans to phase out the product.

How to mark the anniversary of the Sept. 9 fatal natural gas explosion that greatly impacted San Bruno will be decided by a small group of people. On Tuesday, the San Bruno City Council created a subcommittee of Mayor Jim Ruane and Vice Mayor Michael Salazar to lead a small group to gather input and put together a ceremony. Salazar expressed a desire to be respectful, to celebrate moving forward but also to be sensitive about losses, he said, adding its part of a larger healing process. Its too early to know what such an event will include. Ruane hopes to put together a small group of individuals, which includes people from the Glenview neighborhood, to discuss and nalize ideas. All ideas are welcome to start the planning. Those interested in participating, or who
would like to submit an idea, are encouraged to contact Community Services Director Randy Schwartz at 616-7181 or RSchwartz@ci.sanbruno. ca.us. Whatever is planned will mark the one-year anniversary of the Sept. 9 natural Jim Ruane gas explosion and fire which killed eight people, injured many more, destroyed 38 homes and caused signicant damage. Investigations into the cause is ongoing, but recent revelations about previous leaks and record keeping by Pacic Gas & Electric, which maintains the gas line that ruptured, have shined some light on other issues.

ance program, the department said in a statement. The federal government made these funds available as an incentive for states to strengthen their safety net as our economy continues to recover, Labor Secretary Hilda L. Solis said. California was hard-hit by the recession and while the unemployment rate has dropped recently it remains well above the national average of around 9 percent. The most recent tally put the unemployment rate at 11.9 percent in April, down from a modern record of 12.6 percent reached in March 2010.
SAN FRANCISCO Federal, state and local prosecutors have formed a task force to investigate a deadly gas pipeline explosion in San Bruno, Pacific Gas & Electric Corp. revealed in a filing Monday. The utility said it was told last week about the task forces probe into the September blast that killed eight and destroyed dozens of homes in San Bruno, the company said in a document filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In the SEC filing the company warned investors that the financial condition and cash flows at both PG&E Corp. and the utility could be materially and adversely affected if criminal fines or penalties are imposed. The Utility will cooperate fully with the members of the task force, PG&E Corp. said in the filing. PG&E spokesman Brian Swanson said the company was notified by phone about the task force. Josh Eaton, a spokesman for the U.S. attorneys office, declined to offer any
d e t a i l s We d n e s d a y about the task forces investigation. San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said his office has been collaborating with federal prosecutors for months and that they would continue working together as the investigation moved forward. The National Transportation Safety Board is still trying to pinpoint what caused the pipeline to explode, though during a meeting Thursday of the California Public Utilities Commission, panelists revealed their findings that the blast was due to multiple management and oversight weaknesses at the utility. Later Thursday, the commission approved a proposal that will require all utilities in the state to submit plans to pressure-test or replace the untested segments of their gas transmission lines such as the pipe that exploded last year.

LOS ANGELES Californias median home price fell 10.4 percent last month compared with a year earlier, as sales involving distressed properties and other low-priced homes claimed a larger share of the market than normal, a tracking rm said Wednesday. The year-over-year price drop to $249,000 last month from $278,000 in May 2010 was the biggest since September 2009, San Diego-based DataQuick said. The slide marked an eighth consecutive month of year-onyear declines after what had been 11 months of gains. The median was unchanged from April. There wasnt much in the latest sales data to suggest the overall market will pull out of this rut anytime soon, DataQuick president John Walsh said. Home sales, meanwhile, dropped 13.3 percent from 40,965 in May 2010 to 35,536 last month, the sharpest yearover-year drop since October. Walsh noted that the year-ago sales numbers were especially high because

Sexting an illness? Experts are divided

By Frank Eltman and David B. Caruso
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. Married men sometimes behave badly. They covet. They flirt. They philander. And when they get caught, they occasionally adopt the insanity defense, telling spouses that an inner demon made them lose control. Doctors say the line between legitimate clinical disorder and plain old lousy behavior isnt well-understood. That makes it hard to assess U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiners announcement that he was seeking professional treatment following a scandal over lewd photos and messages he sent to women he didnt know. The congressman hasnt specified what type of care he is getting, or for what, leaving constituents to wonder whether he is seeking treatment as simply a ploy to buy time and sympathy. Sexual addiction is not recognized as a mental illness in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, an encyclopedic bible for psychologists. Exhibitionism, though, does make the cut. There has also been talk about including a passage in the next edition on hypersexual disorders, involving an overheated sex drive. Its still a very controversial diagnosis. There are a lot of people who think this is a lot to do about nothing, said Dr. Richard Krueger, an associate professor of psychiatry at Columbia College of Physicians & Surgeons and director of the Sexual Behavior Clinic at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. On the other hand, he said, practitioners will see people who are completely out of control, and will just destroy their lives, and despite the imposition of a sanction will continue doing it.

Business Forecasting Center at the University of the Pacifics business school in Stockton, said the year-to-year price gaps will narrow as the tax credits recede deeper into the past.

Passion for Obama not like 2008

By Jim Kuhnhenn
WASHINGTON As he weighed a presidential run back in 2006, President Barack Obama displayed a realistic sense of self-awareness: All the adulation he was receiving, he conceded then, was because he was a blank slate on which people could attach their aspirations. As he seeks re-election, his self-awareness is on display again, with a new conclusion. Its not as cool to be an Obama supporter as it was in 2008, with the posters and all of that stuff, he acknowledged to an intimate gathering of donors in Miami this week. Its a line he delivered with a chuckle, a variation on a theme that he is using with his base of supporters. But it holds an important truth for the Obama campaign: Obama is now a known quantity and he will not inspire voters this election the same way he did in the previous one. Complicating things for Obama is what the Pew Research Center calls an intensity gap between Obamas conservative opponents and the liberals who would be most likely to support REUTERS him. A recent Pew survey found that 84 percent Barack Obama speaks at a welcoming event after arriving at Luis Munoz Marin International of staunch conservatives strongly disapprove of the president, but only 64 percent of solid liberAirport in Puerto Rico.
als strongly approve of him. Intensity, or enthusiasm, is an important factor in driving voters to the polls. Obama beneted greatly from it in 2008 with a record-shattering turnout. But conservative intensity played a signicant role in the 2010 midterm elections that put Republicans in control of the House. For the president, crafting his message for 2012 is a balancing act. He must re-energize his base, the voters moved by his 2008 mantra of hope and change. But he also must reassure moderate and independent voters that he is still focused on righting the economy and that he is not the radical, ineffective agent portrayed by the Republican eld of presidential candidates. Obama bridges the two with a line meant to be both a defense of his rst two years in ofce and a rationale for his reelection: Big changes dont happen overnight. Still, Obama this week was reminded of the results many of his supporters have come to expect from him, no matter how unrealistic. While speaking to more than 900 supporters Monday at Miamis Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, one man in the audience stood and shouted, Keep your promise, stop AIDS now! before the crowd drowned him out with cheers of Obama, Obama!
New speaker has fewer millions than predecessor

By Jim Abrams
WASHINGTON New House Speaker John Boehner doesnt have as many millions as his predecessor, Nancy Pelosi, but like many new committee chairmen and other leaders, he has holdings in companies that have major nancial stakes in the actions of Congress. For Boehner, that includes a portfolio of stocks in oil companies, nancial rms, communication companies and pharmaceuticals. Holdings among other lawmakers include
farmland, real estate and investments in high tech companies. None of this is violates congressional ethics rules. The rules state that members cant use their ofcial positions for personal gain and limits to $26,100 what John Boehner they can earn as a director of a business or for actual work performed outside Congress. They, however, do not limit personal investments, a
source of considerable wealth for many lawmakers. Boehner, a Republican and son of an Ohio bar owner, derives much of his nest egg from his career as a small businessman before coming to Congress more than two decades ago, said his spokesman, Michael Steel, Boehners day-to-day investment decisions are made by a professional nancial adviser. He is not consulted on individual transactions, Steel said. Likewise, Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said an account man-
ager makes all the decisions for a portfolio of more than $1 million that he and his wife hold. He made 599 trades last year involving companies such as Apple Computer, Microsoft, Dreamworks Animation and Lockheed Martin. In 2009, Boehner sold a retirement plan in the plastics company he once ran, taking in between $1 million and $5 million. He then purchased shares in almost 60 companies, including stock in BP, Exxon, Chevron, ConocoPhilips and Occidental. His holdings in each of them are valued at between $15,000 and $50,000.
Who Are private HEROES ? How Firefighters Set Example

By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Firefighters are public HEROES! In the way that members of our Military travel to foreign war zones and risks their own lives in the name of preventing terrorism and in the way our Police Officers enter a sketchy part of town to apprehend suspects whove harmed others and may do more harm the same goes for our Firefighters who are trained to enter potentially explosive situations to prevent the spread of fires and rescue those caught in hazardous peril. These public HEROES touch our lives on a daily basis, most times without our knowledge. Our general safety and well-being can be attributed to the day to day actions of our public HEROES. With the recent joint-funeral for the two San Francisco Firefighters who died in the line of duty it is important to acknowledge their lives and say thank you. These public HEROES had a natural inclination to help others above their own selves. Their efforts to serve the public were of great value, and that value is to be remembered and admired. Just like we learn from the funerals of our public HEROES, we can learn from the funerals of those who have touched our personal lives our private HEROES. Family, friends, local acquaintances and even those we know of but dont know personally have the ability to affect us in ways we may not be consciously aware. We ourselves also have the potential to affect the lives of others in ways were not aware. A single act of kindness; the opening of a door; a caring gesture; a supportive word; an offer to help; volunteering in a service club; etc. all set examples for others to emulate and absorb as a part of their own life-experience. Both public HEROES and private HEROES enrich our lives and help us as individuals to be little bit better. When ever we attend a funeral (the deceased being present) or memorial (the deceased not being present) we always learn about how the deceased affected the lives of others. Also, our attendance not only shows the family that we care, but in a positive way can affect the familys healing process. To us what may seem a small caring gesture may be an enormous life moment to the person we are affecting. We never know how we affect the lives of others but its a fact that we do so every day. These kind acts, unconscious and conscious, along with other small acts potentially make us each a private HERO in the eyes of those weve affected. It doesnt matter how minor youve touched somebodys life it matters that they were able to take something away and enrich their own life with your kind act. Just like public HEROES whose actions affect our daily well-being, private HEROES have the power to positively affect the lives of their family, friends, and those they interact with on a daily basis. When our work on earth is done and our lives conclude we each can be remembered as a private HERO for the way we touched the lives of those weve left behind. If you ever wish to discuss cremation, funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650) 588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you in a fair and helpful manner.

White House defends legality of Libya action

Masked demonstrators and riot police clash near the Greek parliament in Athens.
Greek chaos hammers markets

By Elena Becatoros and Derek Gatopoulous
ATHENS, Greece Greeces prime minister, struggling to ensure Parliamentary approval for a crucial austerity bill, said Wednesday he would reshufe his Cabinet and seek a vote of condence for his new government after coalition talks with opposition parties failed. The negotiations collapsed as rioters clashed with police in the streets of Athens during a general strike and renewed fears of default rattled global markets. Prime Minister George Papandreou has been struggling to contain an internal party revolt over a new austerity package that is the main condition for
continued funding from a (euro) 110 billion ($155 billion) international bailout. Without continued funding from the rescue loans, Greece will default on its massive debts which would unsettle the global economy and undermine the future of the eurozone. Socialist ofcials said Papandreou had offered to even step down to clinch a coalition with the opposition conservatives before the talks collapsed, in a dramatic day that saw Greeces borrowing rates hit new highs and lawmakers escorted by armed motorcycle guards past protesters into parliament. Police red repeated volleys of tear gas to repel rioters hurling rebombs and ripped-up paving stones as an antiausterity rally by tens of thousands of protesters degenerated into violence. A crowd of youths smashed the windows
of a luxury hotel in the square. More than 60 people were injured, including 36 police, as clouds of choking gas wafted through central Athens. Bewildered tourists struggled through the mayhem, dragging their luggage behind them. Global stocks were closing sharply lower as the events in Greece which has the worst sovereign credit rating in the world further destabilized markets. Major indexes had their biggest drop on Wednesday since June 1 and the euro slid more than 1 percent against the dollar. Papandreou said he would reshufe his Cabinet Thursday and called a condence vote on the new government, expected Sunday. However, several of his own deputies publicly oppose the new austerity package, which must pass a Parliamentary vote this month. reported a suspiciouslooking vehicle. Detective Inspector Steve Parker said the men had in their possession information relating to an individual in the Cullompton area and items which lead us to suspect that Joss Stone they may have intended to commit a criminal offense.
WASHINGTON Defying congressional criticism, the White House insisted Wednesday that President Barack Obama has the authority to continue U.S. military action in Libya even without authorization from lawmakers on Capitol Hill. In a detailed, 32-page report to Congress, the White House also put the cost of U.S. military operations and humanitarian assistance in Libya at about $800 million, as of June 3, with the total increasing to $1.1 billion by early September. It was the rst time the administration has publically detailed its legal rationale for continuing the Libya campaign without receiving congressional authorization within the 60-day window set in the War Powers Resolution. Ofcials argued that because the U.S. has a limited, supporting role in the NATOled bombing campaign in Libya and American forces are not engaged in sustained ghting, the president is within his constitutional rights to direct the mission on his own. The president is of the view that the current U.S. military operations in Libya are consistent with the War Powers Resolution and do not under that law require further congressional authorization because U.S. military operations are distinct from the kind of hostilities contemplated by the resolutions 60-day termination provision., the White House said. The administrations defense of the Libya mission comes in response to a nonbinding House resolution passed this month that chastised Obama for failing to provide a compelling rationale for U.S. involvement in Libya.

WASHINGTON Pakistan has arrested informants who helped the U.S. zero in on Osama bin Laden, U.S. and Pakistani sources said Wednesday in the latest damaging repercussion from the fatal raid that angered and embarrassed Pakistanis as much as it thrilled Americans. Authorities in Pakistan also have failed to expedite the entry of CIA ofcers into the country, despite agreeing two weeks ago to form a new joint intelligence-sharing team to hunt alQaida, two senior U.S. ofcials told the Associated Press. The joint team was intended to rebuild trust on both sides that was badly damaged by fallout from the May 2 raid deep inside Pakistan. Pakistan considers the raid a violation of its sovereignty and is incensed that the U.S. withheld plans from its nominal ally for fear that the Pakistanis would tip off bin Laden.

A briefdefault on American debt

The Free Press, Mankato, Minn.
here is a dangerous idea gaining hold in the Republican Party that a brief default on American debt could be acceptable if it forces deeper cuts by the White House. As the Aug. 2 deadline to increase the nations $14.3 trillion borrowing limit fast approaches, the idea once limited to the fringes of the party is becoming more mainstream. Establishment Republicans, including former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, are backing a short-term default if it

leads to deep, immediate spending cuts. Jeff Sessions and Paul Ryan, the top Republicans on the Senate and House Budget Committees, have also said failure to raise the debt limit would not trigger immediate catastrophe. Former Minnesota Congressman Vin Weber, a Republican strategist, said the idea that a short-term default would not be a problem is denitely becoming a mainstream belief. The concept of allowing the nation to
go into default even a short-term technical one for the rst time in its history is irresponsible. Its true that the government could likely shift funding to cover the payment of most or all debts for a short time. But even if that were to occur, the damage would be severe, long-term and increase government spending. Republicans and the Obama administration must stop their game of chicken and nd compromise that will deeply cut spending, possibly increase tax revenues and, at all costs avoid a default on national nancial obligations.

Letters to the editor

In need of perspective
Editor, In response to the Disproving Godwins Law Student News column in the Daily Journals 6/11-6/12 Weekend edition, Im going to give you some much needed advice. You have a heck of a lot more research to do when it comes to the U.S. governments foreign policy, the actions of the current president, and the actions of those before him. You say: The war in Iraq, whether you agree with it or not, is not on the same scale as the Holocaust. Really? I guess the killing and displacing of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians since 2003 doesnt matter. Or the psychological and physical maiming of thousands of American troops all in the name of an illegal invasion and occupation of a sovereign country that never threatened the United States. You say no American political gure is Hitler. Maybe you should talk to a Pakistani villager who has lost his friends and family to a bomb dropped by a remote-controlled American drone plane. Or read about how the Patriot Act continues to subvert the civil liberties of all Americans. There is a big world out there that you have yet to learn about. Instead of watching The Daily Show for perspective on world events, I suggest you read Winter Soldier-Iraq and Afghanistan: Eyewitness Accounts of the Occupations by Aaron Glantz and check out the website commondreams.org. By the way, you wont nd the Winter Soldier book at Barnes & Noble. You will have to order it from haymarketbooks.org. Committee for Responsible Medicine, or PCRM) to complain about meat and dairy subsidies. [As seen in New food guide icons, letter to the editor in the June 4 edition of the Daily Journal]. PCRM gets more than half of its funding from a single rich animal rights activist in Florida who is also PETAs single biggest donor. PCRMs president has called cheese dairy crack, and once wrote that giving kids animal products is a form of child abuse. Its a good thing that the USDAs new MyPlate program emphasizes a balanced diet that includes fruit, vegetables, grains and animal protein. If this teaches us anything, its that animal-rights propaganda shouldnt have a place at the table.

y father was never going to dance at my wedding. Prejudice and stubbornness hobbled his heart long before cancer withered his body and the long-simmering ire in my own would have never allowed me to send an invitation. Besides, he was never much a dancing man. Air guitar to classic Led Zeppelin and The Who was what I remember during late-night Monopoly tournaments and weekend car trips. Yet, in these weeks of struggling with whether to visit a man once so great a dad in my childhood but now a stranger for the better part of a decade, those never-to-be moments are what sprung to mind. Hell never give me away. Hell never bounce his grandchildren on his knee. Hell never teach my future kids favorite tricks which included questioning why they had to go to school or tearing the Christmas tree ornaments off the lowest branches. Hell never spar over politics or laugh over a recent column. Hell never show up unannounced with his well-worn tool belt to x any number of household maladies. What ached the most was not the very real possibility he would not live to Fathers Day next year but that he voluntarily chose to be absent all these holidays before. Eventually, time blurred whether he shared my mothers view that I should only date men or simply didnt have the courage to disagree. It didnt matter. If the last month carried any lessons, it is the difference between dealing with anger and tamping it down to a place so deep you cant tell the difference. So I didnt visit, for reasons both inferred and very real. I wasnt welcome at my childhood home by my mother. True. He might not even want to see me. Assumed. If he didnt make an effort when well why should he get the satisfaction of me bending when hes ill? Sad, but a very true thought on the ticker tape constantly playing in my mind. Instead, I handled the roller coaster of emotions in completely healthy fashions like indulging in verbal road rage against motorists who refuse to signal while merging, testing the limits of my liver on adult beverages and aspirin and scrubbing the bathroom tile grout to oblivion. I remained polite when longlost relatives looking for information tracked me down and innocently wondered why I have no relationship with my parents. Mostly I resisted the urge to punch every person who asked pityingly, What are you going to do? as though his cancer automatically trumped my right to demand an apology for his choosing to keep the peace with my mother over disavowing his daughter. His unexpected hospitalization nally prompted the visit Id been dreading. Just put one foot in front of the other. Breathe. Remember not to cry. In hindsight, two out of three aint bad. Despite a morning temperature already crawling toward the 90s, I wore a blazer as though dressing like a grown-up would make me feel more like one or at least offer the unspoken declaration Look! Even though you wrote me off, I clean up pretty nicely and am gainfully employed! The notion is ridiculous when going to see a man whose nod to fashion right now is a hospital gown and a crown of thinning hair. But everything about this situation was ridiculous, no less that he was housed in a oor known as the cancer pavilion. Being a pavilion, I sort of expected a beer garden and a live band, I quipped when I nally stepped inside, after being stalled for minutes in the hallway by a mopping custodian who just wouldnt leave his room. As if I needed another chance to turn around. So it went. The jokes about being able to hang his hat on the tumor once protruding from his chest. The detailed explanation by him of diagnosis and treatment, of how diabetes had affected his vision. Something about sugar attaching to blood cells and lots of other medical jargon Id expect from a man who once built me a model nuclear reactor out of kitchen utensils when I asked how and why. Curiosity and humor we were always good at. Heartfelt offerings, not so much. I had promised myself not to ask the emotional how and whys of the past years but, like the crying, I failed. When I told him that after writing one column about his absence led to several men I know and respect volunteering to one day walk me down the aisle with pride, he also failed a bit at keeping his eyes dry. I didnt come to make amends, I nally said, quite intending to recapture my intent in coming. Before I could nish the thought he grabbed my hand. He has never grabbed my hand. Youre not the one who has to, he said. A morning of talking doesnt x years of silence. Whoever said time heals all wounds is a fool. And as for that never-to-be dance? Maybe still true. But for the rst time in a very long time, the coming of Fathers Day means a little something again. For the rst time in a very long time, I remembered what it felt like to have one.

Chevron Corp. and Exxon Mobil Corp both lost more than 2 percent. The S&P 500 index fell 22.45, or 1.7 percent, to 1,265.42. The Nasdaq fell 47.26, or 1.8 percent, to 2,631.46. If Greece defaults on its debt it could cause investors to dump the bonds of other weak European nations like Portugal, Spain and Ireland, raising borrowing costs for those countries. It could also cause the dollar to further strengthen against the euro, making U.S. products more expensive abroad. That acts as a drag on corporate prots. Earlier in the year a declining dollar played a key role in boosting corporate earnings and sending stocks higher. Large U.S. companies like Boeing Co., Caterpillar Inc. and Oracle Corp. sell many of their products abroad, which puts their sales and prots at risk if the dollar strengthens. Companies in the S&P 500 index get 20 percent of their prots from Europe. June is shaping up to be the worst month for the stock market since May 2010. Stocks have risen only three days this month and have fallen 11. The Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poors 500 index are now 7 percent below the highs they reached in late April.

NEW YORK Unrest in Greece rattled global nancial markets Wednesday. Stocks fell the most since June 1 as investors piled into lower-risk assets like the dollar and U.S. government bonds. A report on manufacturing in the New York area also came in far below forecasts. That reignited fears that factory production, one of the few bright spots in the U.S. economy, may be weaker than many economists had believed. Thousands of people gathered on the streets of Athens to protest government cutbacks required by international lenders. Demonstrators hurled rocks at riot police, who responded with tear gas. Greeces prime minister said he would name a new Cabinet after talks to form a new government with opposition parties failed. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 178.84 points, or 1.5 percent, to close at 11,897.27. The drop erased all of its 123-point gain from Tuesday and put the average on track for a seventh straight week of losses. All 30 companies in the Dow dropped, led by Aluminum maker Alcoa Inc. which lost 2.9 percent. Alcoas stock tends to swing with shifting moods about the global economy. Shares in energy companies also fell.
Pandora gains point to healthy Internet IPO future

By Michal Liedtke
SAN FRANCISCO Internet radio station Pandora Medias IPO struck the right chord with investors Wednesday despite the static in the overall stock market. Pandoras shares surged by as much 63 percent in their market debut before pulling back later in the session. The stock closed at $17.42, still a decent gain amid the markets broader decline. It marked a 9 percent increase from Pandoras initial public offering price of
$16 and a nearly six-fold increase from what Pandoras own board thought the stock was worth just six months ago. The performance shows the recent market slump hasnt dampened the enthusiasm investors have for new stock offerings from rapidly growing Internet services. The excitement began to build after shares of professional networking site LinkedIn Corp. more than doubled on their rst day of trading last month. Now it looks like the fervor could escalate into an outright mania as even bigger Internet companies such as online
coupon seller Groupon Inc., Web game maker Zynga and the biggest star of all, Facebook, go public during the next year or so. Everyone seems to be getting goldrush fever, said analyst Phil Leigh of Inside Digital Media. People are starting to believe they can nd gold in every stream or around every hill, but thats not the reality. Pandora CEO Joseph Kennedy said he wont allow his 360-employee company to get caught up in the hysteria. I am not jumping up and down right now, Kennedy said in a Wednesday interview.

Fredendall makes All-American team

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
College of San Mateo reliever Josh Fredendall agrees, the numbers he put up in 2011 are crazy to think about. Actually, theyre even crazier to write about at rst glance you dont know whether theyre typos, or inated statistics posted by a
player who didnt play much, had one good game and thus his numbers went into the book. But that isnt the case with Fredendall; string his stats together and they add up to one thing: Domination. The Pacic Association Division (PAD) agree and recently selected Fredendall to their 2011 All-American Team. The PAD is part of
the American Baseball Coaches Association and is comprised of two-year college teams from California, Oregon and Washington. Fredendall was selected to the First Team. In other words, the sophomore was the best at what he does on the coast with the most. I didnt look at stats or worry about them at all the whole year, Fredendall said. I was mostly reminded by my team at practice how
I was doing. That was fun, funny if they scored a run off me in intrasquad they would give me a hard time. During the year, I didnt look at them at all, not once. I just felt good and condent.

Bruins lift the Cup

Shakeup is needed for U.S. Soccer

nited States National Soccer Team coach Bob Bradley no doubt knows the game. You dont reach the highest levels without vast knowledge about the game of soccer. What he seems to lack, however, is the re to motivate a seemingly always underachieving squad. And for that reason, he needs to be replaced. The U.S. team is currently playing in the CONCACAF Gold Cup the North and Central American and Caribbean version of the European Cup or Copa Libertadores competition in South America. Basically, a tournament to determine the best national team in this region. The U.S. along with Mexico are the class of the federation and are heavily favored to meet in the championship match. While El Tri cruised into the quarternals and appear to be a lock to win the whole thing, the U.S. stumbled in group play, losing its rst pool play game ever, a 2-1 defeat to Panama. While the U.S. still advanced to the quarternals with a 1-0 win over Guadeloupe arguably the worst team in the tournament it was a lackluster affair that again proves Bradley does not know how to motivate the squad. The biggest problem with the U.S. team over the last several years is the way it plays the game. Specically, it plays with a calm that belies the players skill level. Watch a U.S. match and the team always seems to play with a quiet condence that does not t its perception. While the U.S. may believe it is among the worlds elite teams, the rest of the world doesnt look at it that way. The U.S. plays with no urgency, no killer instinct, no re, no passion. It thinks it can knock the ball around and pounce whenever it wants, a la Barcelona or Spains national team.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia While the Boston Bruins beelined across the ice to mob him at the buzzer, Tim Thomas tapped both goalposts, sank to his knees and rubbed the ice in front of his empty goal. Thomas drew a virtual line in his crease throughout these crazy, contentious Stanley Cup nals, and Bostons brilliant goalie just wouldnt allow the Vancouver Canucks to cross it whenever it really mattered. After 39 years without a championship, the Bruins ripped the Cup and several thousand hearts out of a Canadian city that has waited four decades itself for one sip. Thomas was just too good, and the Bruins are the NHLs best. The Cup is headed back to the Hub of Hockey. The 37-year-old Thomas made 37 saves in the second shutout of his landmark nals performance, Patrice Bergeron and rookie Brad Marchand scored two goals apiece, and the Bruins beat the Canucks 4-0 Wednesday night to win their rst NHL championship since 1972. I think I went even further than I thought, Thomas said. I never envisioned three Game 7s in one playoff season and still being able to come out on top. ... I was scared, I wont lie. I had nerves yesterday and today, and I faked it as best as I could, and I faked it all the way to the Stanley Cup. Nice try, Tim. Theres nothing fake about Thomas, who limited the NHLs highest-scoring team to eight goals in the seven-game nals, blanking Vancouver in two of the last four. The oldest Conn Smythe Trophy winner in NHL history stopped 201 of the Canucks 209 shots in the nals. If I was going to do it any way, it would have to be the hardest way possible, said Thomas, who played overseas and in the minors before nally getting his NHL break in 2005. Three Game 7s in the playoffs, and to have to win it on the road in the nal. The Bruins postgame celebration centered around Thomas, who carried them through long stretches of a perilous postseason that

Bondsattorney asks for acquittal or new trial

By Paul Elias
SAN FRANCISCO Barry Bonds attorneys led a motion Wednesday asking a judge to change Bonds obstruction of justice conviction to an acquittal or schedule a new trial. Bonds was convicted of obstructing a grand jurys steroids investigation by giving an evasive answer during questioning in 2003. The trial ended in April with a hung jury on three
perjury counts along with the conviction on the single obstruction count. The home run kings lawyers argue he was unfairly convicted of unauthorized rambling in discussing being a celebrity child when asked Barry Bonds whether his trainer ever injected him with a syringe. The lawyers insist that Bonds
answered the question directly during further questioning. Unauthorized rambling is not a federal crime, Bonds lawyers wrote in their brief. U.S. District Judge Susan Illston scheduled a hearing for July 1 on their request. She has already scheduled a hearing for June 24 to set a sentencing date for the conviction and she may combine the two dates into one court session. Bonds is not expected to receive a prison sentence, based on similar convictions and
sentencing of two other gures charged with lying about steroids. Federal prosecutors are also expected to tell the judge whether they intend to retry Bonds on the three perjury charges. The jury deadlocked 11-1 in favor of guilt on the charge that Bonds lied when he said no one but his doctor ever injected him with anything. A majority of jurors voted to acquit Bonds on charges he lied when he denied knowingly using steroids and human growth hormone.

Bumgarner strong, Giants beat D-backs

Giants 5, D-backs 2
against the Giants 21-year-old lefty, who entered the game with the fth-worst support in the majors (2.65 runs per game). Bumgarner (3-8) gave up ve hits and struck out six. Arizona had runners at rst and second with two outs in the ninth, but Brian Wilson retired pinch-hitter Juan Miranda on a grounder for his 20th save in 22 chances. Joe Saunders (3-7) allowed three runs and threw a season-high 115 pitches in seven innings for Arizona. San Francisco scored two insurance runs off closer J.J. Putz in the ninth. Eli Whiteside tripled home Hall and scored on a wild pitch. Aubrey Huff singled twice, drove in a run and scored for the Giants, who are 7-1 against
PHOENIX Madison Bumgarner went six innings and got enough run support for a change, helping him pitch the San Francisco Giants past the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-2 Wednesday night. Bill Hall singled home the go-ahead run in the sixth with his first hit since joining the Giants four days ago and later doubled. The Giants beat Arizona for the fifth straight time, Willie Bloomquist and Bumgarner Chris Young hit solo home runs, ending Bumgarners 10-start string without allowing a homer. But that was about all the Diamondbacks could muster
Arizona this season with one to play in this three-game series. In the Arizona eighth, Kelly Johnson tried to score what would have been the tying run from rst on Youngs double down the lefteld line, but was out easily at home on the relay throw from shortstop Miguel Tejada. Huff singled with one out in the sixth, then Pat Burrell walked to set up Halls RBI hit. Moments later, Hall was called for interference going into second base, a ruling that resulted in an inning-ending double play. The Giants scored in the rst after a double play erased Aaron Rowands leadoff single. Pablo Sandoval singled, Cody Ross walked and Huff singled. Bloomquist, hitless in his previous 12 at bats, hit Bumgarners 2-0 pitch just over the left-eld wall for his second home run of the season to tie it at 1 in the third. It was the rst
home run the Giants lefty has allowed in 67 innings. San Francisco quickly regained the lead 2-1 when Ross led off the fourth with a double and scored when Burrell tripled off the Arizona bullpen fence down the left-eld line. Young homer also barely cleared the lefteld fence to tie it at 2 in the fourth. NOTES: Bumgarner had not allowed a home run since a solo shot by Arizonas Justin Uptons at Chase Field on April 17. ... After the enclosed structure was cooled by air conditioning, the Chase Field roof was opened just before the rst pitch even though it was 106 degrees outside. ... Arizonas Xavier Nady struck out four times. ... Bumgarners three victories all have come on the road. ... All eight games between the Diamondbacks and Giants have been decided by three runs or fewer.
Outman leads Athletics past Royals

As 2, Royals 1
pitched a perfect ninth for his second save in three chances. The only noise the Royals made all game came far too late. Alcides Escobar had three hits, including a double off reliever Brian Fuentes in the eighth, to tie his career high with an eight-game hitting streak. He scored a batter later when Alex Gordon singled to trim Oaklands lead to 2-1. Melvin came out for a brief conference with Fuentes, who then allowed Melky Cabreras single to put runners on rst and third with two outs. Fuentes rallied by getting Eric Hosmer to foul out along the spacious third-base line. Neither team had many chances in this one.
OAKLAND Josh Outman allowed four hits over seven innings and the Oakland Athletics gave new manager Bob Melvin his rst home victory by beating the Kansas City Royals 2-1 on Wednesday night. Cliff Pennington and Daric Barton had RBI singles off starter Luke Hochevar (4-7), who took a no-hitter into the sixth inning before it all fell apart. The scufing As had lost three straight and 13 of 14 in a streak that began under Bob Geren. Melvin improved to 2-4 since taking over for the red Geren. Outman (2-1) struck out two and walked two in the deepest outing of his major league career without allowing a run. Andrew Bailey
David DeJesus sent Hochevars third pitch of the game off the pitchers right elbow, redirecting the ball to second baseman Chris Getz for an easy groundout. Hochevar was inspected by a team trainer and threw a few light tosses before staying in the game. The hard-throwing right-hander showed no effects from the bruising shot. Hideki Matsuis two walks were the only time an Oakland player reached base until Landon Powells line-drive single to center leading off the sixth. Then it all came unraveled. Jemile Weeks followed with a bunt up the rst-base line, Hochevar elded the ball and tossed it to rst baseman Eric Hosmer hustling back to the bag. Television replays appeared to show Hosmer tagging Weeks just before he
reached the base, but he was called safe by rst base umpire Jeff Nelson. After DeJesus bunted into a elders choice, Weeks stole third base without a throw. Then Pennington drove him in with a single to give Oakland a 1-0 lead. As bad as the Royals were offensively, Oakland was even better defensively. Matt Treanor sent a shot off Outman deep to left eld in the fourth that seemed headed for the seats. Josh Willingham backpedalled to the wall and leaped up to catch the ball near the top of the wall, robbing Treanor of extra bases and possibly a home run. Ryan Sweeney provided another big defensive play for the As, running down Jeff Francoeurs soaring shot to deep center in the seventh with a runner on rst.

a lot of condence going into my sophomore year. I knew because of the work that I put in, because of the things that I did over the summer that nobody saw, that I was going to make an impact this year especially being a sophomore and being a leader-type-of-guy. I just wanted to do the best I could to help this team win and I think that worked out pretty good. Did it ever. Fredendall dealt to start the year and didnt stop dealing. He ran a scoreless streak that caught the attention of schools like Texas, San Diego, Boston College and Washington. And after the season ended in the playoffs, Fredendall made his choice, deciding to take his talent to UW. I really couldnt have gone wrong either way, he said about choosing between San Diego and being a Husky. I love San Diego, but when I went to Washington, for me, it kind of like felt like this is where I belong. Fredendall leaves after a marvelous 2011 campaign, but he takes a lot with him up north from his time as a Bulldog. The team that I had, theyre like brothers to me, he said. Weve been through so much together, that camaraderie that we had, and that family that we had, thats the thing that Ill remember the most. Thats the rst thing that will pop into my head when I think of CSM. There wasnt a raw egg in the bunch. Those guys are great and theyre going to go on and do great things no matter where they are. I know theyre going to succeed because they went through a program like CSM. Going up to Washington, Ill denitely take that with me.

Coast Conference team, the All-Nor Cal team and, at the end of May, was named to the Northern California All-American team. And with the season he had, its easy to see why. Fredendall led the state with an earned run average that requires a microscope to see, 0.25. Opponents only hit .120 off of him and, in 36 innings pitched, he allowed a lone run and only one extra base hit all season. To say that his sophomore year as a Bulldog was a breakthrough would be a complete understatement. Fredendall said he was seriously considering not playing baseball at CSM after his senior year and Fredendall just going to a four-year university right after high school he denitely had the grades to do it. But that thought changed after a bullpen session and a talk with CSM manager Doug Williams. I took that talk to heart, Fredendall said about the conversation that revolved around hard work, academics and developing as a pitcher. After limited time on the eld his freshman year and watching his team get to within a win of being state champions, a hungry Fredendall found the focus he needed to succeed during the summer. The most important part was winning, Fredendall said of his rst year.

Eight challengers for Americas Cup

By Bernie Wilson
Eight challengers from seven nations have been conrmed for the opening race of the new Americas Cup World Series in August in Portugal. Also competing with two boats will be defending champion Oracle Racing of San Francisco. Representatives from Oracle Racing, Team New Zealand, Artemis Racing of Sweden, China Team, Team Korea, Venezia Challenge of Italy and two teams from France, Energy Team and Aleph-Equipe De France, appeared together Wednesday in San Francisco, where the 34th Americas Cup will be contested in 2013. The identity of the eighth foreign challenger will be announced in Europe on June 23. Organizers had expected the numbers to shake out from the original list of 15 teams from 12 countries that led entries earlier this year. When we started back in September, this is where we thought it would be, said Iain Murray, an Australian sailor whos the CEO of Americas Cup Race Management and the regatta director. We built 10 boats. It was pretty clear this is where we thought wed end up. Were very pleased. The teams will sail 45-foot catamarans for the two seasons of the ACWS. A 72-foot catamaran will be used for the Louis Vuitton Cup for challengers and the Americas Cup match in 2013, both on San Francisco Bay. The rst stop of the AC World Series will be in Cascais, Portugal, from Aug. 6-14. The
other regattas this year will be in Plymouth, England, from Sept. 10-18, and San Diego from Nov. 12-20. Oracle Racing, owned by software tycoon Larry Ellison, will sail two boats in the ACWS this season and next. Since no other defense candidate has emerged, Oracle will need as much in-house competition as possible. On Monday, Oracle Racing CEO Russell Coutts, a four-time Americas Cup winner, generated some serious buzz for the sport when he capsized the AC45 he was sailing against syndicate skipper Jimmy Spithill. Coutts was thrown through the boats wing sail and into the water during the spectacular wipeout. The syndicate at rst said that it was grinder Shannon Falcone who was thrown through the wing sail. Falcone was thrown into the water. He was examined by paramedics on the dock and taken to the hospital for X-rays. Its a Hollywood script, isnt it, Murray chuckled. Coutts wasnt the rst to ip an AC45. Spithill, Artemis Racing and Team New Zealand all capsized during initial sea trials in New Zealand earlier this year. It just goes to show you, the 45s are just a training boat, but even in the hands of a gold medal-winning, four-time Americas Cupwinning skipper, it can cut you out, Murray said. All the main players are nding the limits of where these boats are. Theyre powerful, light boats, and if youre not on your toes the whole time, just a nano second of not being on top of it and you can be upside down. Team New Zealand and Artemis Racing appear to be the strongest of the challengers.

ed away from Commissioner Gary Bettman. And the shiny silver trophy eventually got a lift from Nathan Horton, the injured Boston forward whose Game 3 concussion on a late hit irrevocably swung the series momentum to Boston. Horton traveled to Vancouver for Game 7 and worked to give the Bruins a home-ice advantage, pouring a bottle of Boston water onto the ice in front of the Bruins bench 90 minutes before warmups. I was just trying to get some Garden ice here and make it our ice, Horton said. I was trying to be sneaky about it. Luckily for the Bruins, their goalie is cooler than ice. Boston dropped the rst two games in Vancouver, but became just the third team since 1966 to overcome that nals decit. Their goaltender was real tough to beat, Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault said. The way they played in front of him was real tough to beat. We had some Grade A chances, and we were unable to score. Thomas thoroughly outplayed and outclassed his Vancouver counterpart: Star goalie Roberto Luongo
SPORTS
gave up 18 goals in the last ve games of the finals. Despite a pregame walk on the Vancouver seawall in his special mind-clearing ritual, the enigmatic netminder capped a brutally inconsistent series by allowing Bergerons crushing shorthanded goal to slip underneath him late in the second period. Were devastated as a team, Luongo said. We worked all year to get to this point. To fall short like that is a tough one to take ... but were a good team, and well be back. Game 7 was another heartbreak for the Canucks, who still have never raised the Cup, and their stunned fans, who stayed by the thousands just to get a glimpse of the trophy. A Canadian club still hasnt won the Stanley Cup since 1993. Mark Messier and the New York Rangers won Game 7 in Vancouvers last nals appearance in 1994. This time, Thomas silenced the Canucks high-octane offense, erased nearly four decades of Bruins playoff blunders and crushed an entire Canadian city desperate to take the Stanley Cup across town to Stanley Park. Anybody in our situation right now would feel real disappointed, whether youre the favorite or not, Vigneault said. We battled real hard. We gave it our best shot. This one game, they were the better team. Its that simple. Bergeron added a Stanley Cup ring to his gold medals from the Olympics and the world championships with his biggest game of a quiet series. He scored his rst goal of the nals late in the rst period on a shot Luongo saw too late, and Marchand added his 10th goal of the postseason in the second before Bergerons short-handed goal. What a feeling this is, Recchi said. What a great group of guys. No matter what happened tonight, this is one of the best groups of guys Ive played with. During a two-week Stanley Cup nals that ranks among the NHLs weirdest in recent years, the only predictable aspect had been the home teams dominance. Vancouver eked out three one-goal victories at home, while the Bruins won three blowouts in Boston. All the physical work wed done throughout the whole series added up, Thomas said. Being the last

series, we didnt save anything, and we used that physicality again and that was the difference. Game 7 capped a spectacular collapse by Luongo, who backstopped Canada to Olympic gold medals on this same ice sheet a year ago. Luongo was pulled from the Canucks last two games in Boston after giving up 15 goals on the road, and he was fatally shaky in Game 7. Luongo praised his own positional game earlier in the series, but he didnt recover in time to stop Marchands second-period goal. Five minutes later, he couldnt close his legs on a slowly sliding puck on Bergerons goal the seventh allowed by Luongo on the last 21 shots he faced dating back to Game 4. But Luongo wasnt alone in deserving Vancouvers blame: The Sedin twins are the NHLs last two scoring champions, but they capped a disastrous nals by being on the ice for all four of Bostons goals. Captain Henrik Sedin, last seasons MVP, scored just one goal in the series, while Daniel Sedin had two goals and two assists, scoring in just two of the seven games.

The Bruins are the rst team in NHL history to win a Game 7 three times in the same postseason, and Thomas posted shutouts in the decisive game of the Eastern Conference nals and the Stanley Cup nals. Bergeron quieted the crowd with the rst goal, scoring the eventual game-winner in the rst period. He added a short-handed score in the second to keep the Cup away from the Canucks, who have never won it in nearly 41 years of existence. We got the rst goal, and we knew that would be important coming here, said 43-year-old Mark Recchi, who plans to retire after winning the Stanley Cup with his third franchise.

Sorry guys. Youre not that good. Despite having a number of starters playing in Europe and playing well it still features a greater number of players who have failed in Europe (see Landon Donovan) or have struggled since moving to the worlds best leagues (see Jozy Altidore and Freddy Adu). Other than Bradleys seeming inability to light a re under this squad, the U.S. is still missing a couple of key ingredients to make a run at the worlds best sides. The most glaring problem is the lack of a true, bona de goal scorer. The U.S. has not had a legitimate goalscoring threat since the oft-injured Brian McBride retired. Since then, a number of players have been put in that main striker position, now held down by Altidore, and they have not lived up to expectations. Altidore, who scored the lone goal in the win over Guadeloupe, is
only 21 and was thought to be the Americas next great goal scorer. Unfortunately, he has struggled to even get on the eld in England and Spain, and has been transferred and loaned to a number of teams. He just wrapped up the most recent European season with Turkish club Bursaspor. Unless he can develop into a consistent goal scorer, the Americans chances of beating quality sides is in doubt. The Americans other glaring weakness is a dominating playmaker. Not everyone can be Argentinas Lionel Messi, generally regarded as the best player on the planet, but the Americans need to nd someone who can play with a ourish. Someone who makes everyone around him better. Currently, that job falls to Bradleys son, Michael, who just nished up playing for Aston Villa after a stint in Germanys Bundesliga with Borussia Monchengladbach. A solid player, Bradley is neither ashy nor very threatening in his role as distributing midelder. He does a good job in the mideld and can nish when given the opportunity, but he doesnt have the reputation of a player who
can hurt you with pinpoint, dangerous passes to the goal scorers up top. Until the U.S. addresses these three issues, it will never take that next step to elite status in the world. Granted, U.S. soccer has come a long way since stunning the world by making the round of 16 at the 1994 World Cup, but the Americans have been maddeningly inconsistent since then. How can a country that boasts a population of over 310 million not consistently nd top-shelf soccer talent? *** San Mateo County Joe DiMaggio baseball squads are encouraged to email or fax their schedules and rosters to the Daily Journal so we can include your teams in our summer coverage.

The Bears open play Sunday against top-seeded Virginia, looking for their third title overall and rst since 1957. They werent going to take no for an answer in terms of competing and we werent going to take no for an answer in terms of reinstatement, said former Cal and major league pitcher Doug Nickle, who was heavily involved in the group
Save Cal Baseball. To see both reached was almost surreal. The pure joy was like a release. The players celebrated the super regional victory with a dog pile on the ineld, expressing as much joy as they had disappointment and anger just a few months earlier. But the Cal team is now bigger than the 36 players and four coaches on the roster. More than 1,000 supporters including former major leaguers like Jeff Kent, parents and former Cal players donated money to the cause and are an integral part of the program.

Less labor and more love for your garden

By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
Planting and tending done over a decade and a half have transformed a neglected yard into a diverse and interesting garden.
Over the years, the amount of space devoted to gardens on my property has grown. Like many gardeners, I began by working on the neglected landscape of our home shortly after we purchased it. Little by little, I transformed areas of lawn into shrub borders, perennial gardens and even turned the area under some existing trees into a woodland garden. Today, the landscape looks nothing like the original. Those trees and shrubs that were rst planted over a decade and a half ago have completely transformed the appearance of the property. We now have a lot of privacy as well as a landscape with such diverse plantings that there is something interesting to look at 365 days a year. It takes some time to achieve the look you want and, of course, a bit of work, especially in the early years but if you enjoy gardening, then the process is as much fun as the end result. Over the years I have gained some insights that have helped to lighten my gardening workload. They can be summed up as follows: Timing matters, and so does the order in which you do tasks. Some work done upfront, keeping proper timing and order in mind, will save you hours of labor later on and help
you avoid wasted effort. To get a feel for timing in your garden, pay attention to changes that happen every year in your landscape and work with them. For instance, I have a shade garden under some large holly trees. The holly trees drop their old leaves every year in late May to early June. I wait to clean up and mulch this area until the after trees have nished dropping their leaves. Following the trees schedule rather than my own makes my job easier since I am cleaning up once instead of twice. Performing tasks in the proper order makes your job much easier and much more efficient. For instance, you should clean up debris around plants before fertilizing; fertilize prior to mulching; and stake plants that need it before they start falling over. I apply organic fertilizer in the early spring every year at the base of perennials and shrubs. I make sure to clean up all debris rst to ensure the fertilizer ends up where it
needs to be: in contact with the soil. Mulch applied after fertilizing keeps the fertilizer from washing away. When it comes to staking plants such as perennials that fall over due to heavy bloom, I always try to get my stakes in the ground before the plants actually need staking. I then tie the plant to the stakes as they grow. This helps keep plants sturdy at the base often their weakest point and allows the plant to grow around the stake, helping to hide it from view. For small oppy plants that are difcult to stake but that still separate when they get too large, I have had great success with a method employed by some of the large estate gardens in England. I save branches that are trimmed from my shrubs in late winter, bundle them together so they form low twiggy mounds. I place the leaess branches on the bare ground as perennials are just beginning to emerge from winter dormancy in the spring. As the perennials grow, they weave their way through the loose twigs, eventually covering all evidence of their support system. This method works especially well for older established plants that grow quite large and are difcult to stake. Gardening is certainly a labor of love, but with a few shortcuts, you can spend less time on the labor part, and more on the love part.

Starting an art collection? Take time to learn

By Melissa Kossler Dutton
The artworks on Harold Corbins walls in Madison, Miss., are full of memories. Art needs to be not just a purchase but an experience, says Corbin, 54, who has collected hundreds of paintings, prints and lithographs. Youve got a memory behind it. Corbin, who developed an interest in art while in college, began buying art often by Mississippi artists after he had established his career as an accountant. He vividly recalls where he bought most of the pieces. I had no idea I was collecting art, says Corbin. I bought some pieces I liked. More and more, it became what I did. Purchasing art can be intimidating, but the joy of owning a collection of original works is worth it, Corbin and others say. Building a collection means learning more about the art world and about what you like, and nding a theme whether its subject matter, medium, artists or style that ties the works together. Collecting is more methodic than just starting out there with no guidance, explains Catherine Evans, curator of photography at the Columbus Museum of Art. There needs to be some narrowing or dening of what resonates with you. A good place to start is by consulting with gallery owners, museum curators and artists, who often are eager to share their knowledge. Thats their profession, said Corbin. I havent seen a time when they didnt want to talk about it. Jumaane NNamdi, director of the G.R. NNamdi Gallery in Chicago, which focuses on contemporary abstract art, considers it part of his job to create the next generation of collectors. He tries to make people feel welcome in the gallery. Its OK to just go in there and walk around in circles, he says. He urges potential buyers to do research. That doesnt mean go read art books, because thats not realistic, he says. Visit galleries. Allow yourself to grow with art.
He has organized a club for potential collectors who want to learn more. Members attend lectures, meet artists and gather to discuss art. Im trying to introduce a culture, says NNamdi. Its bigger than, Are you going to get something today? Many museums also sponsor clubs dedicated to helping people learn more about art. Members of the Mississippi Museum of Art in Jackson, for instance, can join a New Collectors Club, which offers private tours, visits with artists and other events. Beth Batton, curator of the museums collection, encourages people to visit museums and galleries and gure out what medium they like. Then seek good examples of it. Educate your eye, she says. If you nd you really like photography, try to understand the techniques. Figure out why certain pieces of art move you, adds Aprile Gallant, curator of prints, drawings and photos for the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton, Mass. The theme you choose can be broad, she says, and can focus on an activity, place or era. Having a focus gives a collection coherence and personality, and also can help art buyers choose more wisely, Batton says. It keeps you from spending money on an impulse purchase, she says. Buyers who know what they want can nd pieces at a variety of prices. You dont have to have a huge income to be able to start an art collection, Batton says. Corbin considers his collection priceless not because of its monetary value but because of the pleasure it brings him. I still have some of the original paintings I bought for $10, he says. I still enjoy them. It doesnt necessarily cost much more to buy an original work of art than it would a reproduction, Gallant says. Its worth the time and energy to have something like that in (your) life, she says. Its sad that art is so intimidating to people. People who love art wish it was a part of more peoples lives.

in court if they are enacted without a two-thirds vote. Those include increasing car registration fees, charging rural residents for fire protection and extending a quarter-cent sales tax that otherwise would expire next month, aides said. The $12 registration fee would be a charge for services provided directly by the Department of Motor Vehicles. It is separate from the increase in the vehicle license fee that is scheduled to expire June 30. The rural surcharge would assess an annual fee of $150 per home for those whose fire protection is provided by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Democrats say they can impose the fees with a simple majority vote, rather than the two-thirds needed for tax increases, because they would be considered direct fees for a service. The budget asks Republicans to provide the two-thirds majority needed to extend the increase in the state vehicle tax to generate $500 million for local law enforcement programs. Without the extension, local governments would lose the money. The governor and Democratic lawmakers already have reduced by more than half an original budget deficit of $26.6 billion, primarily through spending cuts. The debate in each house became heated at times. During a debate over the fate of community redevelopment agencies, Assemblyman Donald Wagner, R-Irvine, said the way Democrats had framed the bills resembled the intimidation techniques of organized crime. I think I saw this in an episode of The Sopranos, he said. That prompted Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, D-La Canada Flintridge, to demand that Wagner apologize to Italian-Americans for the reference to the Hollywood Mafia stereotype. As Wagner responded, Assemblyman Warren Furutani, a Lakewood Democrat, called for him to be cut off. Wagner demanded to know how Furutani thought his words were out of order, and the two men approached each other, talking heatedly. One put a hand on the others arm before other members and Assembly staff separated them.
From whittling to BUDGET knitting, how the modern man crafts

By Jennifer Forker
Crafts for men have come a long way since the days when Popular Mechanics advised returning World War II soldiers in the rustic arts of whittling and leather tooling. A compendium from the magazines postwar archives, Man Crafts (Hearst Books, 2009), celebrates male-geared hobbies of yesteryear. It reads like last years cheeky book by Amy Sedaris, Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People (Grand Central Publishing). Its meant more as an amusement and a fond look back, more than anything else, says Jacqueline Deval, a Hearst Books vice president, although the instructions in Man Crafts are legitimate. The book throws into contrast how different things are today. Some of its nostalgic hobbies remain popular among women and men, although there might no longer be a market for tincan candle holders and tin serving trays. But a quick glance at Etsy.com, an online avenue where people sell handmade goods and old-timey collectibles, also turns up men making soap, glass works and knitwear. Men designing T-shirts and other clothing. Men creating electrical gadgets and making art journals. And men brewing beer. According to the American Homebrewers Association, based in Boulder, Colo., nearly 750,000 people brew beer at home at least once a year in the United States. One of them is Mitch Larsen, of Lincoln, Neb., who likes the challenge of crafting a great-tasting beer. Its science-y, says Larsen, 41. Theres a lot that goes into making good beer. You can make beer with a kit at the store, but its not going to be good beer. Good beer, according to Larsen, requires reading and research, talking with other home brewers, lots of taste testing and making unfortunate mistakes. Its a creative outlet for me because I formulate my own recipes, says Larsen. Joshua Zimmermans creative outlet is tinkering with small electrical projects. The 28-year-old, fourth-grade teacher in Milwaukee makes Altoid tin USB chargers and ashlights, and small robots from toothbrush heads and solar battery chargers. His creations usually can be made with a few bucks and a few parts, often from recycling old electronics. I spend way too much time on researching this stuff for my own amusement, Zimmerman says. He simplies ideas he nds online, assembles them in kits, and sells them from his online shop, Brown Dog Gadgets, and at Etsy.
2009 increases to the sales and vehicle taxes expire June 30, giving Democrats two weeks to convince four Republicans to keep the higher taxes in place until voters have their say. An increase in the personal income tax rate passed at the same time expired in January. I would love nothing more than to come back sometime between June 15 and July 1 and pass Plan A, Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg told reporters. Nevertheless, the Sacramento Democrat said he expected Brown to sign the budget sent to him Wednesday if no compromise can be reached. Democrats have majorities in the 80member Assembly and 40-member Senate but need at least two GOP votes in each house to pass tax increases or place measures on a ballot. They exercised their newfound ability to pass a budget plan but not tax increases on a simple majority vote, a power granted by voters last year. It appears to be the first time since 1933 that the state Legislature passed a budget by simple majority, according to the Department of Finance. Since 1991, only five state budgets have been passed by the Legislature and signed by the governor before the July 1 start of the new fiscal year, the Department of Finance said. Last years budget was signed in October after the longest impasse in state history, 100 days beyond the start of the fiscal year. Brown now has 12 days to sign or veto the package of budget bills but is expected to continue negotiating with Republicans in the hope he can get the special election. He wants to renew for up to five years the increases to the personal income, sales and vehicle taxes that were approved two years ago and wants Republicans to approve an extension of the sales and vehicle taxes until the special election. Republican lawmakers have not agreed on the tax matters and say they want reforms to public employee pen-
sions, a spending cap and regulatory changes to help California businesses. They criticized the Democrats for trying to pass a budget that was released just hours before the floor sessions and without Republican support. What we have before us is a Democrat budget that reflects a Democrat vision, said Sen. Bob Huff, Senate Republicans lead budget negotiator. Clearly, the Democrats didnt want to go down this path to reform. Steinberg responded to Republican complaints by saying the Legislature would pass comprehensive pension reform and take real steps to overhaul the states business regulations later in this years legislative session. Republicans in the Assembly offered similar criticisms, but Democrats insisted a one-party plan was not their preference. Id much rather be presenting a bipartisan budget solution today, but we are who we are. And Im disappointed to say that most of the Republican legislators have spent the past three months hiding in plain sight, said Assemblyman Bob Blumenfield, D-Los Angeles, chairman of the Assembly Budget Committee. Under the Democratic plan being considered Wednesday, education would see $3 billion less in state funding than Brown called for when he released his revised budget proposal in May. Steinberg said the majority partys plan also includes more than $500 million in cuts to state programs. It also relies on tax and fee increases Republicans say will be challenged

Its over between us,garlic mustard

By Lee Reich
Like most drawn-out affairs, this one ended with rancor. A friend had introduced me to garlic mustard, our meeting coming at a time when I could look fondly upon any wild edible plant. That was many years ago, yet for the past couple of years tensions between us have escalated. In retrospect, I cant really understand the attraction I had for garlic mustard. True, the name was appealing: You would think that any plant combining the flavors of garlic and mustard would have elicited affection that would linger, even grow, over the years. Yet I can now look back with a clear mind and remember finding the taste ho-hum at best, biting at worst. Beauty could not have held the relationship together either. Again, garlic mustards appearance is hohum at best, ugly at worst. Picture a plant that in its first year grows a whorl of heart-shaped leaves. These leaves have teeth at their edges, and their slightly bluish cast further contributes to an ominous undercurrent. In the plants second year, four-petaled white flowers open atop stalks rising from the centers of the whorls. Surprisingly, garlic mustard comes from a good family. Its not the garlic family but the mustard family, which might also be called the cabbage family. This accounts

for the leaves bluish cast. Garlic mustards kin includes such delectable edibles as cabbage, kale, bok choy and cauliflower, as well as such beauties as alyssum, armeria, lunaria and dames rocket. (The last is also a weed, but one for which I have developed increasing affection. Ive even moved it into
my garden.) Well, every family has its black sheep. Still, biting flavor and homely appearance are not what have turned me sour toward garlic mustard. What has done so is its persistence in trying to insinuate itself into my life. Its now just about everywhere, gallivanting around in nearly everyones yard. There is just too much of it. The one positive thing I can still say for garlic mustard is that it is easy to weed out. I realize Ive been scarred. Im now a bit wary about letting loose my affections on some other plants, fearing those relationships also may someday sour. My attachment to salsify, for example, bears some frightening parallels to my former feelings for garlic mustard. Salsify is also a traveler from Europe that has found American soil to its liking, becoming a weed in some places. So far, however, I cannot restrain my affection for this interloper. Salsify does taste good: The swollen roots cook up to a rich flavor echoing that of mushrooms and oysters. (Its sometimes called oyster plant.) And salsify is pretty, its sunny, daisy-like heads opening atop tall stalks. Still, weeding the garden yesterday, I did notice, for the first time, quite a few salsify seedlings popping up at some distance from the older plants. Is this the beginning of the end again?

LOANS
With the average borrower spending $75 in fees for a a $425 loan, Jacobs Gibson said the hike will only add to the never-ending cycle of owing as clients dig themselves deeper and deeper into debt. On Thursday, Jacobs Gibson will ask the legislative committee of the Board of Supervisors to accept a formal opposition of the state bill. The opposition resolution will then move to the full Board of Supervisors for a vote. While the opposition carries no legal weight in Sacramento, Jacobs Gibson said it sends an important message to legislators and county residents that the industrys practices are a concern. The main message is that we dont want you putting yourself in debt and that we are working to nd you other options, she said. Both assemblymen Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, and Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, opposed the bill. Having options is a key reason to keep payday lending available, said Greg Larsen, spokesman for California Financial Service Providers. Consumers benefit when there is choice in the marketplace. The more choices consumers have, the better choices they can make based on their individual circumstances and alternatives, Larsen said. Limiting consumer choice is never in the interest of con-

sumers. Consumers already make financial choices involving fees such as letting checks bounce or requiring utilities to be reconnected, he said. If consumers amortize those fees, they would seem as high as those used for one-time payday loans. San Mateo County has approximately 37 payday lending outlets which collect roughly $252,840 in fees per store. Taken together, county residents are being assessed roughly $9,355,080 in lending fees annually, according to statistics from Jacobs Gibsons ofce. Payday loans work by a client writing a check for the principal plus a fee. The lender promises not to cash the check until the loan comes due which is typically the next payday. The customer can either return to the store to pay off the debt or allow the store to cash the check. Lenders are allowed to charge an annual percentage rate of up to 459 percent. Payday lenders charge customers an average of 400 percent on a two-week loan, leaving the typical borrower paying $800 for a $300 loan, according to statistics by the Silicon Valley Community Foundation which compiled
a report on the practices. The trap is that customers who cant repay the original combination of loan and fees lead them to consistently borrow more and more. However, according to CFSP, clients must have a bank account, a job and not borrow more money before paying off the original loan. More than 2,800 payday lenders in California are charging $450 million in fees to more than 1 million state residents, according to SVCF. In response, some cities and counties are moving to ban or limit the industry. In December, the Pacifica City Council voted to extend a two-year interim moratorium on the lenders. Earlier this year, Daly City Councilman David Canepa proposed that the city ban any new outlets, phase out existing businesses and create a partnership with credit unions as a more nancially sound alternative. His suggested program would allow short-term loans up to $500 with a maximum APR of 18 percent for residents and give users the ability to build credit by paying off loans over a period of up to a year. Canepa also wants a cap of three loans per person per year and a nancial education requirement for borrowers. Such a partnership and education could be one of the alternatives considered by the county, too, Jacobs Gibson said.

DISTRICT
majority opposed using no school assignments given the additional administrative work and cost, said Chair Alesha Breite. This opinion will be presented to the board before a nal decision is made tonight. Capacity issues coupled with increasing enrollment led the district to discuss possible solutions before deciding how to spend voter-approved bond funds. The situation requires moving students. Previously, the focus was whether students should be moved by shifting boundaries, which changes a familys home school assignment, or a lottery system. Dropping boundaries was a third option suggested by Trustee Cathy Wright. Without support from the Alternatives Committee, moving boundaries appears more likely. During the early morning hours of the previous meeting, it was clear that three trustees favored such a change while board President Andrew Stulbarg preferred the lottery option. Trustee Chuck Velschow must abstain. Changing boundaries would shift students at Fox, Cipriani, Central and

Nesbit elementary schools. Trustee Brian Matthews described the option as a way to maintain neighborhood schools since a whole neighborhood would be reassigned. Stulbarg, on the other hand, agreed shifting students may minimize the number of students over the enrollment cap but would still require a lottery or similar system to decide who gets the slots. If theres going to be a lottery anyway, he questioned the need for a more permanent approach. Stulbarg was intrigued, however, by no boundaries. Recognizing that he was outvoted, he preferred the idea of dropping boundaries altogether. This week, the Alternatives Committee looked at how districts without boundaries operate. Some work on parent preferences for school assignments while others use a combination of distance and availability to place students, Breite said. Such a change was ultimately thought to be too costly by the group, she reported.
Without dropping boundaries, the district is faced with changing them. A boundary committee suggested shifting school assignments of many neighborhoods west. For example, some students currently assigned to Cipriani would go to Central and those at Central would move to Nesbit. Some students at Cipriani could also be moved to Fox. All recommended proposals allowed students currently enrolled to stay at the school they attend, a process called grandfathering. Such a change could go into effect this fall. With grandfathering, most students would not be reassigned until 2012. At the same meeting, the board will approve the rules for grandfathering which will allow all parents of kindergarten students who registered as of April 2011 to be enrolled in the current school. New students in grades rst through fth will be enrolled as space permits. The board previously requested setting enrollment caps at each school, supported building at Nesbit and Fox elementary schools, which have additional space, and creating sister school relationships.

GUARDS
Judy Dietel, Darlene Savage, Hongmei Huang, Fred Baer, Elaine Leder, Yilmaz Sahinkaya and Joe Perez all took their respective three minutes to urge the council to spend the $21,600 needed to fund the crossing guard program. After hearing from these 13 people, Councilman Rick Wykoff had a change of heart and decided the city should fund the program at least for one more year. He had intended to vote no on the item. The council will vote on an ofcial resolution to fund the crossing guard program this Monday. Technically, Wykoff said, it is the school districts responsibility to provide crossing guards and not the city. But Wykoff is tired of the blame game that often mars the relationship

between the city and school district. He changed his mind, in part, based on the responsible nature crossing guard supporters presented their arguments. I changed my mind, Wykoff said. But throwing public funds at a problem is not always the best way to x it, Wykoff said. We will fund it for one more year but the city, school district, parents and teachers need to explore ways to make it work in the future, he said. Mayor Linda Koelling agrees. Keeping children safe should be everyones top priority but a long-term solution needs to be found, she said. Safe Routes to Schools grants could help fund crossing guards in the future
through the San Mateo County Ofce of Education, she said. Koelling intends to meet with the school district after it hires a new superintendent. It has to be done collectively, Koelling said. But something has to change. The agreement the council votes on Monday will be to grant the district $21,600 to implement the school crossing guard program. Crossing guards monitor four intersections at Audubon, Brewer Island and Foster City elementary schools. The agreement requires the school district to manage the hiring of guards and the day-to-day operation of the program. Both the school district and Foster City Police Department will monitor the program for effectiveness.

in to certain demands and inspire your other half to do so as well.

Dont pauper yourself through extravagance and/or borrowing more from others. arIes (March 21-April 19) -- Unless you focus on a specific goal or objective, something youve wanted for a long time that you believe could help you will slip through your fingers.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (DEPARTMENT) MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEM (MS4) PERMIT DRAFT TENTATIVE ORDER NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) will hold a public hearing on the draft Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) NPDES Permit (Tentative Order) for the California Department of Transportation[1] (Department). A quorum of the State Water Board may be present; however, no Board action will be taken. The time and location of the public hearing are: Tuesday, July 19, 2011 9:00 a.m. Joe Serna Jr. /Cal-EPA Headquarters Building Coastal Hearing Room 1001 I Street, Second Floor Sacramento, CA 95814 BACKGROUND Discharges of storm water and non-storm water occur throughout the state from the Departments MS4. Before July 1999, these discharges were regulated by individual NPDES permits issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control Boards. On July 15, 1999, the State Water Board issued a statewide permit (Order No. 99-06-DWQ) which regulated all storm water and certain non-storm water discharges from the Department's MS4. This included all State highways, rights-of-way, facilities, and construction activities. The existing permit (Order No. 9906-DWQ) will be superseded by a new permit when the Tentative Order is adopted by the State Water Board and approved by USEPA. The draft Tentative Order differs significantly from Order No. 99-06 in several respects, including: Transitioning from a characterization based monitoring and reporting program to a compliance based program. Incorporation of Total Maximum Daily Loads and implementation requirements directly into the permit. Removal of construction activities from regulation under the permit (now regulated directly under the Construction General Permit). A significantly expanded section on Region-specific requirements. New requirements for hydromodification, Low Impact Development, and post-construction treatment controls. PUBLIC COMMENT A public notice was circulated on January 7, 2011, advising that the draft Tentative Order was available for public review and comment. Written comments on the draft Tentative Order were due by 12 Noon on March 14, 2011. NATURE AND PURPOSE OF HEARING State Water Board staff will provide a brief overview of the Tentative Order and will answer any questions the Board may have. Interested parties will have an opportunity to provide oral comments to the Board and are encouraged to summarize their written comments. The Board may impose time limits on oral comments. FUTURE STATE BOARD WORKSHOP AND BOARD MEETING A State Water Board workshop is expected be scheduled for September 2011. Staff intends to submit the final Tentative Order for State Water Board adoption in October 2011.

MONTBLANC. THE TIMEWRITERS.
In 1821, Nicolas Rieussec changed watchmaking forever with the invention of the first chronograph. Since chronograph literally means writing time the Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph , rewrites timepiece history. Crafted in the Montblanc Manufacture in Le Locle, Switzerland, this masterpiece is a worthy tribute to its visionary namesake. Monopusher chronograph, self-winding manufacture movement. 30 min. and 60 sec. rotating disc counters fixed on the counter bridge.
