Sewer rate hike shot down

By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Belmont officials:Rates have doubled in decade

Dave Warden voted against the increase at a Tuesday night council meeting. The increase is needed, according to staff, to rehabilitate pump stations and main pipes that transmit sewage ows and to fund an $8 million bond proposed for scal year 2011-2012 for infrastructure xes. The vote means we will have to defer some capital costs, Belmont Finance Director Thomas Fil said. The challenge for the city now is to gure out a way to pay for the capital improvements without the rate increase, Fil said. The city mailed notice of the proposed charges to 8,242 property owners who then had the opportunity to protest the increase. Property owners could have shot down the proposed increase themselves under Proposition 218 if a majority of them protested the increase. A majority of 4,122 written protests would have been needed
Sewer rates have been climbing steadily in Belmont for more than a decade but the citys mayor and another councilman have had enough. Residents in Belmont will not see an 8 percent increase in their sewer bills next year because Mayor Coralin Feierbach and Councilman
from the public to prevent the increase but the city only received 17 written protests. Most people throw those Prop. 218 notices away, Feierbach told the Daily Journal. The ordinance needed four votes for approval Tuesday night but only got three. Councilmembers Christine Wozniak, David

Leaf blowers are a common way to clear falling foliage from trees in any neighborhood but Burlingame ofcials are asking residents their thoughts on banning them. Recently, the city of Burlingame has launched an online survey to gauge the publics opinion on possibly banning both gaspowered and electric leaf blowers.

How often does anyone get exactly what they want for a birthday or holiday? Take Mothers Day. Sarah Eisner from Menlo Park was looking forward to an hour of peace. But thats not what she got.
Instead, she and Philippa Smith launched an online deal site, Juice in the City, geared toward their fellow females who want to indulge in some vino with cheese, get pampered with a massage or spend time with their kids making crafts without going into debt. Juice in the City launched last year in San Mateo. Since then, the
mom-driven site has expanded to more than 20 markets throughout the United States. The hope isnt to bombard local businesses with onetime customers hoping to get a cheap cupcake. Instead, Eisner envisions partnering with local businesses to introduce new, long-

Coney Island hot dog contest adds womens pigout
NEW YORK This years Fourth of July race to stuff your face with hot dogs has a new women-only pigout. Serena Williams didnt have to beat Roger Federer to win the Wimbledon title, and we dont think Sonya Thomas should have to beat Joey Chestnut, said master of ceremonies George Shea. Thomas, known as The Black Widow of competitive eating, set a womens world record July 4, 2009, by stufng 41 hot dogs into her 105-pound frame in 10 minutes. Thomas and eight other women will compete Monday on Coney Island just before the mens stomach-churning Nathans Famous hot dog feast, which this year again features world champion Chestnut, nicknamed Jaws. The 27-yearold from San Jose, Calif., ate his way to a fourth consecutive championship last year by downing 54 dogs for the $20,000 purse. Notably absent again this year is his chief rival, Takeru Kobayashi, who held the world record for hot dog eating from 2001 to 2007 but plans his own eating contest on a Manhattan rooftop seven miles away. Three Chinese contenders flew in from Beijing to join the competition, which will be televised live on ESPN. Although women dont compete directly against men in most sports, Shea said, Thomas has beaten Chestnut in the past. She ate 181 chicken wings to his 169 during the National Buffalo Wing Festival in Buffalo last September. Nathans officials say they feel that Sonya Thomas women champions like the diminutive Thomas and Juliet Lee, also weighing about 105 pounds, are not getting full exposure for their accomplishments; were selling them short. Chestnut weighs in at 200-plus pounds. Hence, the added competition on the same stage as the men. To me, this excitement is similar to when women were given the right to vote, says challenger Larell Marie Mele, a 133-pounder from Long Pond, Pa. The female competition will start at 11:30 a.m. To add to the days yuck factor, a special pink champions belt was made for the ladies by sponsor Pepto-Bismol. The winner of the mens contest takes home the Nathans mustard belt. The pink belt made its debut at the annual contestant weigh-in Friday morning outside City Hall, with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg presiding. About 40,000 spectators this year will enjoy state-of-the-art Italian-made rides that are part of the redevelopment of the Peoples Playground, the Brooklyn neighborhood by the boardwalk that fell into seedy disrepair in recent years after serving as an escape for generations of Americans. Last summer, Luna Park kick-started the renewal, which is part of Bloombergs vision of turning the seafront into an amusement and entertainment mecca with restaurants, movie theaters, retail stores and hotels. The Scream Zone, opened this year, includes the rst new roller coaster since the iconic Cyclone rose in 1927. The Soarin Eagle propels thrill-seekers to speeds of 40 mph in about two seconds. Another fresh ride, the Sling Shot, shoots riders 150 feet skyward. The city has invested $6.6 million in Luna Park and the Scream Zone, working with an Italy-based engineering partner, Zamperla USA, on the designs for the cutting-edge amusement park. Kobayashi, the renegade Japanese star who plans his own eating show on Monday, remains ineligible for the Coney Island event for refusing to sign an exclusive contract with Major League Eating, the fast-food equivalent of the NFL. Kobayashi spent a night behind bars in Brooklyn after storming Nathans stage during the 2010 competition. The celebrity eater, dubbed The Tsunami, rushed the stage and fought police. He says he wants to be free to enter worldwide events sanctioned by other groups.

San Mateo Countys Courthouse

couple of hundred years ago, when people were still writing actual letters to people, John Adams wrote to his beloved wife Abigail, updating her on the momentous actions that were being taken by the Second Continental Congress. A resolution of independence from Great Britain had been approved and a document explaining this risky business was being written up by Thomas Jefferson. A bloody and protracted war seemed inevitable. If we dont all hang together on this, cautioned Ben Franklin, surely well all hang separately! Adams, a solid American and a sturdy fellow, was convinced the colonies would not only hang together, but would prevail. To Abigail he wrote that this July 4, 1776 event would be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. It will be celebrated by succeeding generations, commemorated as the day of deliverance. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parades, with shows, games, sports, bells, bonres and illuminations, from one end of the continent to the other, from this time forward forever more. And it has been. Anyone of a certain age surely has childhood memories of the Fourth of July. Maybe even a scar from a wayward sparkler? Many monumental projects have been started on July 4 with a ceremonial turning up of the rst shovelful of dirt. On July 4, 1817, work began on the Erie Canal. On July 4, 1828, the rst railroad in America, the Baltimore and Ohio, began service. On July 4, 1850, the cornerstone was laid for the Washington Monument. On July 4, 1910, the fourth edition of the San Mateo County Courthouse was dedicated in Redwood City. The very rst County Courthouse was built in 1858, constructed on land donated by Simon Mezes, a man central in the development of Redwood City. This full city-block of property is bordered by Broadway, Hamilton Street, Marshall Street and Middleeld Road. In 1860, a large bell was installed in the courthouse and used to call jurors to duty and to alert remen in case of res. This original building was badly damaged by an earthquake on Oct. 21, 1868. The second-story had to be removed and the rst story recongured to house ofces and courtrooms. In 1882, a second courthouse was built in front of the remains of the rst structure. This new court-

house was called The Justice Court because of the 12-foot wooden stature of Lady Justice on the roof, welcoming citizens. Neighborhood cows were not welcome, however, and a sturdy fence around the lawn enforced the bovine prohibition. They had to graze elsewhere. It wasnt long before problems surfaced in Courthouse No. 2. Storage space for records was inadequate and not secure. The jail, located in the basement, was overcrowded and also not secure. In 1903, construction began on Courthouse No. 3. It was scheduled to open in April of 1906. On April 18, the infamous San Francisco earthquake shook a lot more than San Francisco. The brand-new courthouse was badly damaged, the magnicent dome and rotunda, swaying ominously during the quake, caused further damage to the building with each shudder. Back to the drawing board. The courts and the jail moved to various temporary quarters around Redwood City. Incredibly, there were some parts of the interior of courthouse No. 3 that could be saved, including the great dome. Reconstruction was completed in late May 1910 and the rst court business was scheduled for June 30. The ofcial dedication was on July 4, 1910. In 1939, the WPA built the South Annex, a blocky structure, right in front of the old courthouse. It added needed space, but completely obscured the historic courthouse. In the 1990s, the Annex was determined to be seismically unsafe and too costly to x. The Annex was removed. Theft. A stereo was taken from an unlocked parked vehicle on the 800 block of Mahler Road before 4:47 p.m. Thursday, June 22. Fraud. Two people wrote and cashed checks for themselves from the checkbook of their former employer on the 1200 block of Bayshore Highway before 3:06 p.m. Thursday, June 22. Vandalism. The window of a vehicle was broken on the 1300 block of Bayshore Highway before 2:03 p.m. Thursday, June 22. This year of 2011 is not only the 101st birthday of the County Courthouse, it is also the 76th birthday of the San Mateo County Historical Association. It began with an idea by Roscoe Wyatt that a society which would record and present the Peninsulas extraordinary history would bring visitors and business to the area. He and a group of like-minded people met on Jan. 11, 1935, and the edgling San Mateo County Historical Association began. By 1937, he welcomed the legendary
Dr. Frank Stanger to the group. Dr. Stanger soon became an integral part of the association and led the group for more than 30 years. Preservation of the historic Woodside Store and Sanchez Adobe were among his accomplishments. In 1940, a room was offered to the Association at the College of San Mateo (located then on Baldwin Avenue in San Mateo) which they could use as a museum. In 1941, Stanger published the rst issue of La Peninsula, a well-respected journal that is still published by the association today. When CSM moved in 1963 to its present campus location, the museum moved there too, much increased in space and acquisitions. In 1984, the directorship was assumed by Mitchell Postel who continues his excellent leadership today. Eventually it became clear that the museum needed a new home. It was that need that intersected fortuitously with the availability of the old County Courthouse in Redwood City. A multi-million dollar renovation of the interior and exterior of the building was needed, and the challenge was met. The association moved to the Courthouse in 1998 and opened the museum to the public in 1999. The San Mateo County Courthouse will be celebrated and commemorated for years to come. It will be solemnized with pomp and parades and Redwood Citys Fourth of July Parade is one of the best. There will probably even be illuminations nearby. John Adams would approve.

New law requires CO detectors

By Rachel Lew
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
In the winter of 1995, homeowner Mary Watt was given a carbon monoxide alarm detector as a housewarming gift from her father. I thought it was a little silly, said Watt, executive director at CALL Primrose in Burlingame. But little did we know, it saved our lives and it can certainly save the lives of others. Before going to bed, two of Watts carbon monoxide detectors, commonly known as CO detectors, went off in her home. She and her sons had a terrible headache and knew something was wrong. Watt contacted Pacic Gas and Electric and was told her furnace cracked in combustion causing carbon monoxide to burn in the air. If Watt did not have CO detectors
installed in her home, she said she and her sons would have died. Watt is grateful with the new California law, Senate Bill 183, that took effect Friday mandating all single-family homes with an attached garage, replace or a fossil fuel-burning heater or appliance, be equipped with carbon monoxide detectors. Multi-family properties have until Jan. 1, 2013 to comply with the law. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that is a byproduct of burning household appliance material, according to Jim Palisi, re marshal in Redwood City. The deadly gas can kill a person in
minutes by cutting oxygen to the brain. Early symptoms are severe headaches, nausea, faintness, mental confusion, shortness of breath and vomiting, he said. Palisi said fuel-burning appliances such as furnaces, ovens, clothes dryers, replaces and water heaters produce the toxic gas. If the equipment malfunctions or isnt installed properly, the carbon monoxide emitted can cause injury or death. According to Acting State Fire Marshal Tonya Hoover, carbon monoxide is known as a silent killer, each year claiming the lives of an average of 480 people and sending more than 20,000 people to emergency rooms across the nation. In addition, it is the leading cause of poisonous death in the United States, according to American Medical Association.
A recent study found that nearly nine in 10 California households did not have a CO detector. Having a CO detector is a small investment that really can help save your life and the lives of your family, Hoover said. The Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act has no provision under state law enforcement after the law is in effect, according to Malcolm Smith, public communications manager of Redwood City. There is an issue for compliance if a death or sickness occurs within a home or building and there is no legal right or mechanism built into the law for enforcement, he added. We are hopeful that everyone will comply with public safety, Smith said. We encourage people to make a small investment that will make a big difference in their lives.
Palisi said the best safety tip is treat a CO detector as a smoke detector. Keep alarms clear of dust and debris, do not use an oven to heat your home, do not use gas power engines indoors, do not idle a vehicle inside a closed garage space, and make sure your chimney is well inspected and cleaned before every winter, he said. Remember to treat alarms as the real deal, Palisi said. Maintain them. They may seem expensive, but they will denitely save a life. Homeowners can nd plug-in or battery-operated alarm systems starting at $16 at any major hardware store such as Lowes, Orchard Supply, Home Depot or Ace. Dual sensor detectors are also available to serve two functions as a CO detector and smoke alarm. Please visit www.re.ca.gov for more details.
NorCal tribe abruptly shuts down its newspaper

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOOPA VALLEY INDIAN RESERVATION A Northern California Indian tribe abruptly shut down its weekly newspaper, citing nancial troubles at the nearly 20year-old publication, as well as disappointment over recent editorial decisions.
Hoopa Valley tribal council Chairman Leonard Masten Jr. sent a memo to the Two Rivers Tribune staff Friday ordering them to stop operating immediately and remain closed until they develop a plan to correct the papers deciencies. The Two Rivers Tribune is distributed throughout eastern Humboldt County and claims to be Californias
last Native-owned newspaper. Masten said the publication has cost the tribe $189,000 over the past three years, calling the sum unacceptable, according to a copy of the memo provided to the TimesStandard of Eureka. He also criticized recent articles, including several that he said promoted drugs. This is not in the best interest of
the tribe, he said of the articles, which he did not identify individually. In an article posted Friday on the Two Rivers website, interim managing editor Allie Hostler disputed Mastens assertions, saying the newspaper was protable last year and was on track to make money again this year. In addition, she said, stories that ran last month in a marijuana-themed
issue of the paper didnt endorse the use of the drug. Hostler told the Times-Standard she was able to get the papers Internet service reinstated after it was disconnected Friday afternoon. She said she planned to keep publishing and was rallying supporters to attend a tribal council meeting Tuesday to discuss the issue.

The survey went live at the end of June. Early results, which include 700 responses, has about 40 percent OK with banning the gaspowered leaf blowers, said City Manager Jim Nantell. Results and possible resolutions banning one type of blower or both will go before the council for discussion in August. The idea dates back to a goal setting session from the council when the suggestion was brought up by the public. As a result, the Burlingame Citizens Environmental Council was created. A 31-page report from the Burlingame Citizens Environmental Council explained gas-powered leaf blowers create large amounts of carbon emissions. All leaf blowers put particulate matter such as mold, pesticides or mercury into the air, according to the report. Noise from leaf blowers can also impact homebased workers, retirees, children and those who work night shifts who are sleeping during the day, the report notes. On the other hand, Nantell noted local gardeners expressed concern that a total ban would result in the need to rake leaves, increasing the time it would take to complete a project. This would lead to increased rates and possibly

a loss of business. Burlingame does have some regulations for leaf blowers.

class of 2002 to graduates as far back as the year 1929, contributed to the centennial fund. The fund paid for the centennial sign, a gift from San Mateo High Schools classes of 1902-2002. Centennial Committee Chair Rich Bortolin, a 1956 graduate, said the new centennial sign was needed to replace the former wooden sign that stood in front of the high school. You have this beautifully remodeled school with a wooden sign in front of it. It just didnt match, Bortolin said. While a ve-person committee, made up of alumni, began work in 2002, complications with the sign company, the
school district and unfortunate weather caused the displaying of the centennial sign to be delayed for eight years. The rst obstacle that the committee faced was trying to nd a company who would be willing to take their order. Several companies in the Bay Area did not accept the specications of the committees requests, until nally they were able to place an order with the Wausau Tile Company in Wisconsin, Bortolin said. There were also logistical delays with the San Mateo Union High School District but efforts were renewed last year. Even then, there were challenges. Early estimates for the signs base were higher than the projected cost of the sign but the committee eventually found a reasonable price. The committee also researched the ground on which the sign
would be placed to ensure that there were no fragile water pipes underneath. Heavy rain was the nal drawback. The rain caused the high schools grass to become too soft for the large trucks that were necessary for the installation of the sign, which weighs over 5,000 pounds. The sign took a month and a half to construct and was nally placed in its current position April 28. Kelsey Cohen, an incoming freshman at San Mateo High School, said she likes the look of the new sign because it attracts more attention to the school. It gives it more of a high school feel, she said. Paige Mughannam, a graduate of the class of 2011, said she nds the new sign appealing. It represents success for the school and the students that go there, she said.

GOP claims win in no-tax budget

But not every conservative is popping a bottle of California sparkling wine in celebration: While they held fast to their no-tax pledge, GOP lawmakers also lost a historic chance to secure their top priorities:
scaling back state employee pensions; imposing a state spending cap; and making business-friendly changes to Californias regulatory and Connie Conway environmental laws. Republicans hope to pin the blame for massive spending cuts to social programs and higher education on Democrats, while claiming credit for holding the line on taxes. Assembly Minority Leader Connie
Conway, R-Tulare, stressed that the budget was not ours. Theyre the ones that chose who got cut. They are the ones that made their priorities, and so if people are suffering and hurting, they need to contact the people that did that to them, Conway said this week during an event to celebrate the expiration of a 1 cent addition to the state sales tax and another hike to the vehicle tax. Our agenda was to put the money back in the taxpayers pocket. The majority vote budget came after Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, conceded defeat in his attempt to persuade a handful of Republican
lawmakers to support his plan to ask voters to extend for up to ve years temporary increases in the sales, income and vehicle taxes. In exchange for their votes to put the measure on the ballot, Republicans had hoped to put their own reform proposals before voters. But after nearly six months of negotiations, the two sides could not reach a compromise. Instead, the deal Brown reached with Democratic legislative leaders contained billions of dollars in cuts to social programs and public universities and colleges, programs Democrats hold dear. They are assuming billions more in additional
tax revenue than was forecast in January, but also built in immediate cuts if that money fails to materialize. Union leaders and Democrats hope that as the deep spending cuts take effect, Californians will feel the impact and public opinion will shift toward supporting tax increases they hope to put on the ballot in November 2012. Those could include higher taxes on the wealthy and taxes on companies that pump oil in California, but there are no specic proposals yet. Republicans could be saved by a rebounding economy. The Democratic budget relies on $12 billion more in revenue.
Highway project in redwood grove stirs debate

By Jason Dearen
SAN FRANCISCO A scenic stretch of Highway 101 that wends through a majestic stand of ancient redwoods in Richardson Grove State Park is called the gateway to Humboldt County but officials and local businesses say this narrow roadway is actually a barrier to the regions economic growth. To remove this barrier, the California Department of Transportation in January plans to remove dozens of trees and realign
a section of the highway so it can be added to a national system of roads that cater to large, so-called Surface Transportation Assistance Act, or STAA, trucks which now cannot legally use the road. This one-mile stretch is the only part of Highway 101 from San Francisco to the Oregon border where the large semi-trucks used to ferry goods around the nation arent permitted, except by a special exemption. But a vocal group of North Coast residents on Thursday asked a federal judge in San Francisco to stop
Caltrans in the latest shot fired in the battle over the grove project. The group says the road work will damage the root systems of the areas towering, ancient redwoods including the worlds ninth tallest and open up the area to more semi-truck traffic, pollution and development. The judge said his ruling would be delivered this week. However, they see the fight as not just about trees, but about preservation of one of the California coasts last undeveloped areas where a small town vibe persists.
Military: Phony marriages got Marines housing money

CAMP PENDLETON Military officials are charging three California-based Marine corporals with fraud and larceny for entering in a pair of sham marriages to collect housing funding, ofcials said. The military alleges that a lesbian couple one a Marine, the other a civilian decided to live together off base and wanted to collect the $1,200 housing benet granted to married Marines.
The female Marine found a male Marine willing to get married, allowing them to collect the housing benet, and the civilian woman also eventually married a Marine and collected funds, 1st Lt. Maureen Dooley, a spokeswoman at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego, said Saturday. The female Marine, Cpl. Ashley Vice said she and her partner were forced to enter sham marriages because the military doesnt provide allowances for unmarried couples.
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.

Casey weeps as prosecutor calls her a liar

By Kyle Hightower
ORLANDO, Fla. Casey Anthony briey wept Sunday as prosecutors told jurors during closing arguments that she murdered her 2-year-old daughter Caylee to reclaim the carefree life she had before the girl was born. Prosecutors portrayed Anthony as a young mother who killed her daughter because she got in the way of her love life. Something needed to be sacriced, that something was either the life she wanted or the life thrust upon her. She chose to sacrice her child, prosecutor Jeff Ashton said during his 90-minute argument. Defense attorney Jose Baez said the prosecutors case was so weak they tried to portray Anthony as a lying, no-good slut and that their forensic evidence was based on a fantasy. He said Caylees death was an accident that snowballed out of control. Prosecutors contend Caylee was suffocated with duct tape by her mother, who then crafted elaborate lies to mislead investigators and her parents. Defense attorneys countered that the toddler accidentally drowned in the family swimming
Casey Anthony
pool, and that Casey in fact was hiding emotional distress caused by alleged sexual abuse from her father. Her father has denied that claim. Judge Belvin Perry ruled Sunday morning that there was no evidence of such abuse and that the defense could not allude to it in closing arguments. Jury deliberations are now expected to begin Monday after the prosecution gives its rebuttal arguments.
Closing argument
Baez began his closing argument by telling jurors they have more questions than answers, including
the biggest: How did Caylee die? Neither prosecutors nor the defense have offered firm proof of how Caylee died. It can never be proven, he said. Baez spent most of his four-hour argument attacking the prosecutions forensic evidence. He said the prosecutions air analysis of the trunk of Anthonys car, which allegedly showed air molecules consistent with decomposition, could not be duplicated. He said no one could prove a stain found in the trunk was caused by Caylees body decomposing there. And witnesses showed maggots found in the trunk came from a bag of trash that was found there, he said. They throw enough against the wall and see what sticks. That is what theyre doing ... right down to the cause of death, Baez said. He later conceded his client had told elaborate lies and invented imaginary friends and even a fake father for Caylee, but he said that doesnt mean she killed her daughter. He also attacked Anthonys father, George Anthony, as unreliable. He said that a suicide note that George Anthony wrote in January 2009 that claimed no knowledge of what happened to Caylee was self-serving and that the attempt was a fraud. He
said George Anthony claimed he was going to kill himself with a sixpack of beer and some high-blood pressure medicine. Earlier during prosecutions closing argument, Casey Anthony appeared mostly stone-faced for about the rst 45 minutes, but she began to cry when Ashton said the story that Caylee drowned was also false. Ashton, the prosecutor, said Caylees death wasnt an accident because three pieces of duct tape were placed on her face one on the mouth, one on the nose and one over those to be thorough. The case has played out on national TV since Caylees disappearance in the summer of 2008 and continued through her mothers trial, with spectators traveling from all over the U.S. to jockey for coveted seats in the courtroom gallery. Anthony, a single mother, was 22 when her daughter died. No one has come forward as the father of Caylee. Ashton began his closing argument by showing a video of Anthony playing with Caylee, causing Anthony to apparently choke back tears. But she quickly regained her composure. He then told the jury that Anthony worried Caylee was getting to the age where she would have told
Anthonys parents that the woman was spending her days and nights with her boyfriend not going to work and leaving Caylee with a nanny. Casey is very bright, Ashton said. Her lies are very detailed. ... But when Casey wants to do what Casey wants to do, she nds a way.
Lies to parents
The prosecutor then described the lies Anthony told her parents, George and Cindy Anthony, about why she couldnt come home and why she couldnt produce Caylee after the toddler was last seen June 16, 2008: that she was with a nanny named Zanny, a woman who doesnt exist; that Anthony and her daughter were spending time in Jacksonville with a rich boyfriend who doesnt exist; and that Zanny had been hospitalized after an out-of-town trafc accident and that they were spending time with her. It only fell apart, Ashton said, a month later when a junk yard told George and Cindy Anthony their daughters car had been towed. When they picked it up, they discovered a foul odor George Anthony, a former police ofcer, and the tow yard operator said it smelled like human decomposition.
In Strauss-Kahns case, Teams gauge oil spill as Exxon says damage little DA has limited options
By Jennifer Peltz
NEW YORK At rst, prosecutors said their sexual assault case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn was growing more formidable by the day. Six weeks later, they said his accusers history of lying raised major red ags, but they werent dropping the case, at least for now. With the former International Monetary Fund leader freed from house arrest because the case has weakened, prosecutors arent saying what their next move may be. Some legal experts say prosecutors will all but have to abandon the case because of the damage to the accusers overall credibility, even if they believe Strauss-Kahn attacked the woman, a housekeeper at a New York City hotel where he was staying. Still, at least one former high-level prosecutor thinks the case isnt doomed. For now, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. is saying only that prosecutors will keep investigating until we have uncovered all relevant facts. Sometimes the road to get to the truth has twists and turns in it, which are not always apparent at the outset, he said in a statement Sunday. What is important is not a win or a
loss, but rather to ensure the criminal justice system balances the rights of all those who come before it. Prosecutors have a number of options, including going ahead with the current charges or reducing them. They could try to negotiDominique ate a plea deal, though its Strauss-Kahn unclear whether StraussKahn would entertain one. He has asserted his innocence, and the doubts raised about the womans trustworthiness would likely improve his chances at a trial. While prosecutors havent questioned her account of the alleged attack itself, they say shes been untruthful about a number of other things, including what she did right afterward. That could make potential jurors reluctant to take her word over Strauss-Kahns. Or prosecutors could ask a judge to dismiss the case, as Strauss-Kahns lawyers have called on them to do. As a former sex crimes prosecutor myself, I wouldnt want to try this case, said Allison Leotta, until recently an assistant U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., where the federal lawyers act as local prosecutors.
LAUREL, Mont. Teams of federal and state workers fanned out Sunday along Montanas famed Yellowstone River to gauge the environmental damage from a ruptured Exxon Mobil pipeline that spewed tens of thousands of gallons of crude oil into the waterway. The break near Billings, in south-central Montana, fouled the riverbank and forced municipalities and irrigation districts to close intakes. An Environmental Protection Agency spokeswoman Sonya Pennock said an unspecied amount of oil could be seen some 40 miles downriver during a y-over Sunday, and there were other reports of oil as far as 100 miles away near the town of Hysham.
But an Exxon Mobil Corp. executive said shoreline damage appeared to be limited to the Yellowstone between Laurel and Billings, which includes about 20 miles of river. Exxon Mobil Pipeline Co. President Gary Pruessing said company observers ying over the river had seen very little soiling beyond Billings, and that the oil appeared to be evaporating and dissipating into the river as the ooded Yellowstone carries it downstream. A representative of the Montana Disaster and Emergency Services Division said the companys claim was reasonable but had not been independently veried. State ofcials on Saturday had reported a 25-mile long slick headed downstream toward the Yellowstones confluence with the Missouri River, just across the Montana border in North Dakota.

I have voted for sewer increases before but not this one, she said. The 8 percent increase would have raised the average annual residential sewer charge from $551 to $576, an additional $2.11 per month. The average bill would only go up about 4.6 percent, however, since Belmont residents are using less water currently than in years past. Initially, decreased water use by Belmonts customers resulted in revenue projections that overestimated revenue from the citys sewer rates, according to a staff report. As a result, the sewer fund balance declined. Belmont currently has a minimal capital reserve that cannot fund any projects currently. Warden voted against the rate increase for a variety of reasons but noted sewer rates have climbed excessively in the past 10 years. At some point, you have to look for money elsewhere, Warden said. In years past, the council has raised the rate by 12 percent, 16 percent and 13 percent, Warden said. Warden thinks there may be some other pots of money available to fund capital improvements to the citys sewer infrastructure. Redevelopment Agency money, perhaps, the blog network, the women had heard that most moms wanted the same things: To take a break, have more fun alone and with their children while supporting local businesses. Juice would focus on offering deals to moms. For the most part, the deals are vetted and suggested by moms as well. Eisner put together the rst 20 deals with all her favorite places to go. The company today has more than 200 moms across the country trying out businesses then recommending deals for the site. During the rst year, Juice launched in an average of one market per month. Now its more like two a month and speeding up, said Eisner. The network of moms supporting Juice has become its own support group of sorts with women sharing stories of their kids, their job and life, she said. It feels like a new-age Mary Kay. Its really excited for me to read their life success stories. Unlike an Avon or Mary Kay, this is something a mom in North Carolina can join up and work with us and all of a sudden be part of one of the hottest tech trends in Silicon Valley, she said. Eisner is also one of the sites biggest supporters. When looking at how many coupons a person purchases, Juice has to consider the

could be used for that purpose if it is allowed, Warden said. Infrastructure xes are needed to prevent sewer overows, for which the city could be ned, according to the staff report. Currently, public works crews with the city are evaluating the system to determine its most critical needs, Fil said. The infrastructure projects are part of the citys sewer master plan, Fil said.

Braunstein and Warren Lieberman voted for the rate increase. The city boosted the rate 6.75 percent last year, increasing the average residents annual bill from $528 to $551. Since 2000, Feierbach said, sewer rates have nearly doubled for the average resident. At this rate, the mayor said, the rate would be tripled.

Juice ... builds relationships between local moms and local businesses, said Eisner, who added a special part of everyones life is a group of memories attached to experiences in their town. Through Juice, moms can bring their children to have the same experiences locally, she said. Eisner never grew up thinking shed be working with an online business selling deals. The 39-year-old mother of two boys was born at Stanford. At 4, she returned to the hospital to have open heart surgery. As a result, she wanted to become a heart surgeon. In the end my brother went on to become a doctor and I did technology. I like to think, Im not a heart doctor but Im at least doing something with a lot of heart, she said. Eisner is a self described serial entrepreneur who left a marketing position at Cisco after the birth of her sons to work with a tech startup. After a couple of other job changes, Eisner

met Smith. Smith needed someone to be a West Coast partner for a company that would do weekly parenting videos. She ended up working with Eisner. The two then worked together on Juice Box Jungle a network of more than 500 of the top mom blogs with ad sharing. Looking at the success of Groupon, and the relationship they already had with a network of moms online, Eisner and Smith thought they could develop a new company. Through
Sarah factor and remove her purchases. Its hard for Eisner to use all the deals but she has found news local businesses to love as a result. Kathys Kreative Kakes in downtown San Mateo, for example, is now one of Eisners favorites. She tried it through a Juice deal. Im obsessed now. Its a block away from our ofce. Every milestone of this company has a cake from Kathys, Eisner said. Looking ahead, Juice hopes to expand opportunities to partner with and support local businesses. Eisner noted a deal isnt right for every business. In expanding, Juice will work with options to partner with those organizations. While working on those changes, Eisner is working in the same area as her husband, who has his own startup. The two have never done lunch together due to their respective workloads, but Eisner and Noah play Soccer together on Sundays.

unable to nd new employment and others who are barely able to support their families with part-time or low-paying employment. How about all those who have serious health problems, but no health insurance? As we revel in reworks and wave ags at parades, maybe we should stop and think about what these changes are doing to everyone but the wealthy, and what we may be able to do to make a difference. Are we proud of the fact that our corporations are basically in charge of our politicians as they take their business overseas? Are we happy that many in Congress are hell-bent on destroying what they call Obama Care? in itself a pathetic facsimile of what is really needed single payer? Does it bother you that though Republicans claim that taxes are unprecedentedly high, the truth is, as Fareed Zakaria wrote in the June 27 Time magazine: Taxes federal and state combined as a percentage of GDP are at their lowest level since 1950. The U.S. is among the lowest taxed among the big industrial economies. So the case that America is grinding to a halt because of high taxation is not based on facts but on a simply theoretical abstraction. Is it a good thing that so many in the United States arrogantly assume we have chosen ourselves to be the policeman and the savior of the rest of the world and that we must impose our military in so many other countries to protect our interests? Is the extreme havoc, unprecedented debt, and tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths worth it? Shouldnt we put our own house in order before we stick our noses in other peoples business? Maybe instead of going along with the status quo, we should be writing poignant letters to the editor like the one by Jim Wood of Tiburon that appeared in the May 29 Chronicle. The week before there was a column titled, Should we send women into combat? Woods response: Better it should have read, Should we send anyone into combat? Over the past 65 years, the United States has engaged in combat wars in Korea, Vietnam, Panama, Grenada, Iraq and Afghanistan. And truthfully, none of these battles advanced our nation toward justice, equality and the pursuit of happiness. Instead, all were drains on our moral, emotional and economic ber. Please, America must think long and hard before ever again sending anyone man or woman into combat. Now that our nation and many of its citizens are on economic life support, shouldnt we be seriously considering how we are being duped and exploited by politicians who are out to destroy our democracy? As Thomas Frank wrote in his very provocative and insightful book, The Wrecking Crew: The Washington conservatives aim to make liberalism irrelevant not by debating but by erasing it. On this Independence Day, as we wave our ags, maybe we should be grieving for what is being lost.

On life support?
e can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few. Justice Louis Brandeis July 4 is the day that we traditionally celebrate our nations independence that was accomplished so long ago and we express love of our country by waving the ag and joining parades and other celebrations. But its getting harder and harder to view our ag with pride when we take stock and consider all of the dysfunction that has taken over our government (including our state). From pathetic stalemates in Congress, to continued wars, to corporate lobbyists in charge of our leaders, to the mantra cut spending and lower taxes, its difcult to muster up good feelings about the direction that this country is going. Its unconscionable how so many of our politicians would rather cling to their wealth and protect the interests of their supporters instead of increasing taxes on the wealthy or even allowing a temporary tax increase to continue so that social programs can survive. Charles M. Blow recently wrote in the New York Times: This is part of the modern doctrine of compassion-free conservatism thats using the fog of the scal crisis to push a program of perverse wealth inequality as sound economic policy; the only way to jump-start the economy is to slash taxes on the wealthy and on companies, the only way to compensate for the decits that those tax cuts exacerbate is to slash benets to the poor and vulnerable. It would be comical if it werent so callous. Have you noticed how our infrastructure is falling apart? Is it a good thing that higher education has become out of the reach of so many and how there are so few jobs available for graduates? Add those who have lost their jobs and are

Lapse of judgement
Editor, What editorial lapse of judgment impelled you to publish the horrifying picture of a bull, streaming blood, being tortured in a Spanish arena in the June 28 edition of the Daily Journal? This grotesquerie was given the prestige of page two, between a baby burner on page one and assorted articles about forced sodomy. The spectacle of a bloodied bull, with his back pierced by two precisely placed swords by picadors to force his head in a down position making it too pained to raise its head and his scraped ank due to prior abuse, is not t for publication unless your editor wanted to urge readers to contribute to the International Fund for Animal Welfare. No such plea was placed as a caption under the picture. The participants in this outrageous sport and, indeed, quite possibly the calloused editors who give it exposure, have special places reserved in hell for people who abuse Gods most vulnerable creations: children and animals. The Spanish word for the fellow in sequined tights is matador. English translation: cruel coward. Blanche F. Smith Atherton Californias future quality should be maintained with a majority of the legislature voting to close tax loopholes on the very wealthiest corporations in our state. Democracy means majority vote decides. But Californias law requires a two-thirds approval by the legislature, so the Republicans one-third minority blocks every attempt to raise revenue. They have even blocked putting the issue to the people in a general election. Studies such as those by the California Tax Reform organization show how over $20 billion could be raised to support our state, just by making those who have beneted most pay their fair share. We need a democratic, majority vote on revenue relief solutions to our budget problem.

e wont be going anywhere today, the Fourth of July. No reworks. No barbecues. No parades. We are dog sitting. And while a dog may be mans best friend, the Fourth of July is dogs worst enemy. The noise of the recrackers hurts the ears and terries the soul. Dogs just want to be someplace else, where it is quiet. Maybe July 4 is revenge for barking. I have owned three dogs in my life all Shetland collies. When I was a little girl, Albert Payson Terhune was my favorite writer. I kept pestering my parents about getting a collie. My mother suggested a collie might be too big. Ask Terhune what he thinks, she said. So I dutifully wrote a letter to Americas favorite author of collie legends Lad, Bruce, Wolf, Gray Dawn asking for his advice and never expecting to hear back. But he did reply and outlined the needs of a big dog a large yard, lots of exercise, etc. We might want to consider a Sheltie, just as intelligent and devoted, but much smaller. Our shelties considered themselves to be part of the family human, not dog, that is. And we included them as much as we could on family vacations and weekend outings. In fact our vacations were designed to accommodate the dog. The dogs were smart, very affectionate and good watchdogs. But they barked. One of our neighbors suggested removing the vocal cords. But aside from that unpleasantness, our shelties brought us much pleasure and little pain (just a lot of hair on the carpet during shedding season). *** But it has been many years since our last sheltie died. We decided not to replace him because our children were grown and no longer living at home and we wanted to take some vacations that were not geared to a dog. However, I have missed the warm wagging tail greeting, so I agreed to dog sit. The dog we are baby-sitting is not like our shelties. He likes to sleep a lot and doesnt fetch tennis balls. He likes to go on short walks but otherwise is not very keen on being outside. I was instructed to lead him to the place in our yard where he is supposed to do his stuff. But early in the morning and late at night I dont feel like climbing behind bushes and plants to the dirt around a tree. Instead he does his stuff on the patio and I cant complain. Better than in the house. His favorite place is his bed. I guess dogs do spend most of their time asleep or just resting. They are used to owners who work full time and leave them alone all day. They get more energized in the evening when the family is home. And thats the problem with dog sitting. Just when I want to go to bed and read a book, our charge is suddenly raring to go. He emerges from his bed with a vigor which has been absent all day. Even an evening walk doesnt seem to tire him. Meanwhile, he sleeps all day when I would much prefer to play. I have modied my schedule to avoid bed until I can no longer keep my eyes open. I watch television while I pet my pet. He is very cute but I am getting dog elbow from too many massages. So tonight he and I will celebrate the Fourth of July with all windows and doors tightly shut. Have a nice holiday! I am looking forward to my date with Fido. *** Meanwhile, the tough dogs of Half Moon Bay are strutting in the Pooches on Parade which begins today at noon on Main Street. The parade, sponsored by the Rotary Club, includes a Bark-B-Q dine with your doggie as part of the celebration. *** If you are a friend or email correspondent with Marshall Loring by now you know he is not in Wales and doesnt need your money. Marshalls email address book was scammed. He is working with email security to make sure no one falls for the trap and sends money. The problem is Marshall, a longtime resident of San Mateos 19th Avenue/Park neighborhood, is so nice most of his friends would want to respond favorably if asked.

NEW YORK When companies buy their own shares, they usually tout it as a benet to shareholders. The logic behind that is simple. If companies are buying, they must believe the share price is going to rise. Their condence inuences investors to bid the shares higher. Investors get higher returns and own more of the company because there are fewer shares circulating. And the company can later reissue shares at a higher price. Everyone ends up happy. In fact, theres little evidence that buybacks increase share prices over the long term. Companies tend to buy when they believe their stock is undervalued. But while there might be an initial gain when a buyback is announced, the share price usually declines in the following years. Thats because the underlying reasons that the stock was depressed havent gone away. Repurchases also dont lower share count for very long because companies keep reissuing stock to pay employees or make acquisitions. Media and analysts talk about buy-
backs like theyre a great thing, says James Early, a senior analyst at Motley Fool. But theyre just as often a raw deal for shareholders. Companies usually buy their stock like most investors, on the open market. Buybacks are on the rise this year after slowing during the nancial crisis. Best Buy Co., Wal-Mart Stores Inc., IBM Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co., were among the 447 companies that announced $285 billion worth of buybacks this year through June 24, according to research rm Birinyi Associates. Thats more than seven times the $38 billion in the comparable period in 2009, when stock prices were depressed, but still below the $404 billion announced the same stretch in 2007. Why the rush to repurchase? Many recession-weary companies are loath to make long-term commitments like hiring new employees or expanding operations or product lines. Companies are generating signicant cash ow because theyve cut costs. But they arent seeing enough of an increase in demand for their goods or services to justify expansion. Buybacks are one easy way for compa-
nies to spend the cash theyve hoarded, analysts say. Theres also no requirement that a company follow through and buy shares after announcing a buyback plan, says Rob Leiphart, an analyst at Birinyi, which has tracked buybacks since the 1980s. If a company backs out of a repurchase, it will often go unnoticed. Early on, a buyback can cause a stock to rise. TrimTabs Investment Research estimates that companies that announce buybacks outperform the market by 0.7 percent the next day, and by 1.2 percent in the rst 100 days. But Leiphart says companies in the S&P 500 that did not announce a repurchase in 2010 did better than those that did. The stocks of companies that did not announce buybacks rose by three percentage points more, on average, than those that did. One reason the gains dont last: Companies tend to repurchase shares when they are condent, have extra cash and think their stock price is low. But if a company has limited growth prospects, faces low future demand for its product or there are price pressures in the industry, its stock will likely fall.
Man wants Chevron stock at 04 price

By Ed White
NORTHVILLE, Mich. A former lawyer intrigued by the global demand for energy says he chose to invest $100,000 in oil giant Chevron Corp. back in 2004, a smart stock bet that now would have doubled seven years later. But Perry Christy has a big problem: He says Chevrons stock agent never deducted money from his bank account. As a result, he has no records to show he actually owns a certain number of shares. So Christy, 69, is suing Chevron and Mellon Investor Services and seeking an extraordinary remedy. He wants a federal judge to declare that he should be
credited with buying the stock at a June 2004 price, plus any additional shares that would have piled up by reinvesting dividends. Then hell pay $100,000. Based on the terrific rise in San Ramon, Calif.-based Chevrons stock, it would be like winning the lottery and then buying a ticket. There was some kind of mix-up on the day I placed the order, Christy insisted in an interview at his home in the Detroit suburb of Northville. Whether mechanical or electronic, I dont think well ever know. But its their screw-up. When you deal with any large bureaucracy, people are focused on their own narrow niche. After more than a year in court, Chevron and Mellon smell a scam and
want the case dismissed, even suggesting that Christys story of a genuine yet botched investment simply is a lie. Litigation cannot be used as a form of risk-free investment strategy, attorney Nicholas Gorga said in a ling. There are ways to purchase stock without going through a traditional broker. They include clicking online and making investments through companysponsored plans that carry low fees or none at all. Chevron offers such a program through Mellon. There is no dispute that Christy went online and created a Chevron account in 2004. He has a document conrming it and another record that states, Your shares have been entered.
Boeing 787 makes landing in Japan

By Tomoko A. Hosaka
TOKYO Boeing Co.s long-delayed 787 completed its maiden trans-Pacic journey and landed in Japan, where the more fuel-efcient jet will undergo testing this week with All Nippon Airways in preparation for its rst commercial launch. The Dreamliner touched down at Tokyos Haneda Airport from Seattle early Sunday to applause and a white Welcome to Japan banner held by ight attendants and workers. Two re trucks shot out celebratory arches of water as the aircraft approached the hangar. ANA even offered a live video feed of the landing on Ustream. As of Sunday afternoon, the video had been viewed more than 37,000 times. Pilot Masayuki Ishii said he stayed calm during the ight but grew emotional upon landing and seeing the excitement on the ground. I was moved beyond my own expectations, he told reporters. The 787s much-anticipated arrival marks the near-end of a long wait by ANA, the rst customer in line for the next-generation aircraft. Boeing missed the initial May 2008 delivery target and has repeatedly delayed its introduction because of problems in development. The twin-engine jet is made mostly of carbon ber and other composite materials instead of aluminum, making it lighter and 20 percent more fuel-efcient than other mid-sized airliners, according to Boeing. As airlines around the world grapple with rising fuel prices, demand is high for low-consumption planes. Chicago-based Boeing Co. has taken orders for 835 of the Dreamliners, and hopes to deliver the rst one to ANA in August or September. ANA has ordered 55 787s. Qantas and United Continental Holdings Inc. have each ordered 50, and Japan Airlines has ordered 35.

Record crowd sees Quakes draw with Red Bulls

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The largest non-doubleheader crowd in the history of the San Jose Earthquakes was treated to fireworks during and after the game Saturday night at Stanford Stadium against the New York Red Bulls. Unfortunately for the Quakes, an unlucky misdirection by defender Bobby Burling in the 85th minute was the buzz kill of an otherwise historic night as San Jose and New York played to a 2-2 draw in front
of 41,028 fans. It was the third largest crowd in Quakes history. Overall, we were very disappointed not to get the three points at home but getting at least one point is still a plus, said Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop. We were disappointed to concede a late goal, but the nature of a deected shot is always hard to track. We played well in the second half, but I think in the rst half we were not at our best, but still in the game. The equalizer came late, off the
foot of Joel Lindpere. It was laser that goalkeeper Jon Busch appeared to have a beat on. But as he dove far and to his right, Burling got his head to it rst and instead of heading out of the 18, the ball went straight for the back of the net - Busch had absolutely no chance. The goal came after Busch had made a pair of amazing saves just seconds before
on a late offensive surge by New York. The late goal was unlucky, but the Quakes had to consider themselves very fortunate they were still able to draw after a rst half controlled mostly by the Red Bulls. New York got on the board early when Lindpere scored seven minutes in, finishing some pretty passing from Roy Miller and newly-acquired midfielder Dax McCarthy. The Red Bulls earned the bulk of the opportunities in the game's initial half, outshooting the
Quakes 10-4. Well the rst half we had some problems in the mideld; we couldn't organize our pressure, said San Jose midelder Khari Stephenson. We gave them too much space in the mideld and that's what led to their rst goal. We then ended the rst half playing harder and we tied it up. We went into halftime knowing it was a different game. We took control of the mideld and created turnovers to start our counter attack.

Djokovic tops Wimbledon Tigers pound

By Howard Fendrich
WIMBLEDON, England Until Sunday, Novak Djokovic never managed to win a grass-court tournament of any sort, let alone Wimbledon. Until Sunday, Djokovic never was able to beat Rafael Nadal in a Grand Slam match, let alone a nal. Until this marvelous and nearly perfect year, Djokovic was very good. Now hes great. After outrunning, outswinging and, for stretches, dominating defending champion Nadal, winning 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 for his rst title at the All England Club and third major championship overall, Djokovic crouched on Center Court, reached down, plucked some blades of grass and shoved them in his mouth. I felt like an animal. I wanted to see how it tastes. It tastes good, Djokovic said later, his eyes wide and his smile contagious. It came spontaneously, really. I didnt plan to do it. I didnt know what to do for my excitement and joy. Putting together one of the best seasons by any athlete in any sport in recent memory, Djokovic is 48-1 with eight titles in 2011, including major trophies from the Australian Open and Wimbledon. On Monday, he will rise from No. 2 to No. 1 in the ATP rankings, overtaking Nadal, a switch that was guaranteed by virtue of Djokovics victory in the

Jackson,Sizemore power As to 7-2 win

OAKLAND Conor Jackson and Scott Sizemore each hit a two-run homer and All-Star Gio Gonzalez struck out seven to lead the Oakland Athletics past the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-2 Sunday. David DeJesus also drove in two runs for the As, who won for the fourth time in 11 games since a six-game winning streak ended. Jemile Weeks drove in a run and Sizemore had three hits. Xavier Nady and Sean Burroughs drove in runs for the Diamondbacks, who lost their third consecutive series and have lost four of their last ve games. Gonzalez (8-5) allowed a run and walked three in seven innings. He is 3-0 with a 1.29 ERA over
his last four starts. Ian Kennedy (8-3) lasted 5 2-3 innings, giving up seven runs on a season-high 10 hits. He walked two and struck out six. Kennedy lost for the second time since April 13 and for the rst time on the road. He extended his streak of consecutive games with at least 100 pitches to 15 matching the longest active streak in the NL with Philadelphias Roy Halladay. The Diamondbacks took a 1-0 lead in the fourth. Chris Young doubled to open the inning and Nady singled him home two outs later. The As responded in their half of the fourth. Coco Crisp, who has an 8-game hitting streak, and Hideki Matsui led off with singles. Two outs
later, DeJesus delivered a two-run double, his rst RBIs since May 31, a span of 23 games. Jackson and Sizemore each hit a two-run homer in the sixth and Weeks added a sacrice y. The As hit two home runs in an inning for the rst time all season, and scored at least ve runs in an inning for just the third time. Arizona loaded the bases with no outs against Michael Wuertz in the eighth. All-Star Justin Upton doubled leading off and both Chris Young and Stephen Drew walked. Joey Devine relieved Wuertz and got the next two hitters before Burroughs pinch hit single drove in Upton. Matsuis throw got Young, who did not slide, at the plate. It was Matsuis rst outeld assist since May 23, 2008 against the
DETROIT The Detroit Tigers capped a feel-good day with some sadness. Magglio Ordonez hit a go-ahead, two-run single with two outs in the seventh inning and Detroit went on to beat the San Francisco Giants 6-3 Sunday. The Tigers found out at least four of them were All-Stars before the game, but no one was in the mood to celebrate the win or the selections because pitching coach Rick Knapp was red soon after the nal out. Mixed emotions, obviously, manager Jim Leyland said. We just felt like it wasnt working. Rick Porcello (7-6) gave up three runs and ve hits over seven innings in a much-needed performance for Detroits suddenly shaky rotation. He became the fth pitcher since 1919 to have three wild pitches and hit three batters in a game. A little bit wild, but his stuff was much better, Leyland said. Joaquin Benoit pitched the eighth, getting a lead-saving catch from left elder Ryan Raburn. All-Star Jose Valverde closed the game for his 20th save in as many chances. Jeremy Affeldt (1-2) took the loss after third baseman Miguel Tejadas throwing error extended the seventh inning. Ordonez took advantage with a single off Santiago Casilla that put Detroit ahead 4-3. Brandon Inge gave the Tigers a three-run lead in the eighth with a two-run, two-out triple. Detroit had lost two straight and four of ve, falling out of rst place in the AL Central. It was a big win because good teams dont get swept, said Brennan Boesch, who hit a gametying homer in the fourth. The NL-West leading Giants had won nine of 11. You can see why theyre the world champions, Leyland said.

I thought the second half was a lot better than the rst half, Lenhart said. It's always tough to come back when you're a goal down. For us to then score two unanswered goals was a huge positive. It shows the character of our team; we're not going to give up and we're pretty scrappy. We played well in front of a great crowd. I wish we could have won. Scrappy it was indeed - the Red Bulls and the Quakes participated in some extra curricular activity on a pair of occasions. There were plenty of yellow cards to go around, six total including a second yellow to Burling who was ejected in stoppage time. It was great, Stephenson said of the atmosphere at Stanford stadium, where the Quakes were able to play in front of a crowd four-times the size of a packed Buck Shaw stadium in Santa Clara. I think once we get our stadium, we will have nights like this every match. It was a great atmosphere and the fans really got behind us and pushed us on. It speaks volumes about how faithful our fans are. We all looked forward to tonight. Unfortunately we didn't get the result we wanted, but it was a great night. Porcellos wild pitch and Cody Ross RBI single gave them a 3-1 lead. Detroit cut into the decit when Miguel Cabrera hit a single to left and Ross mishandled it, allowing Boesch to score on the error. Tejada had a chance to keep the Tigers scoreless in the seventh, but his throw across the diamond in the dirt wasnt scooped up by first baseman Pablo Sandoval on what shouldve been the third out of the inning. The error really hurt us because we had a chance to get out of that, Bochy said. This was a tough one to lose. It would have been a big boost to sweep this team. San Francisco starter Ryan Vogelsong, a rst-time All-Star, allowed three runs two earned on four hits and four walks in 6 2-3 innings. NOTES: Bochy picked three of his pitchers Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum and Vogelsong to be All-Stars and another one, Brian Wilson, was selected by the players.

We all know the careers of Nadal and Federer. ... They have been the two most dominant players in the world the last ve years. They have won most of the majors, Djokovic said. So sometimes it did feel a little bit frustrating when you kind of get to the later stages of a Grand Slam meaning last four, last eight and then you have to meet them. They always come up with their best tennis when it matters the most. ... I always believed that I have (enough) quality to beat those two guys. Djokovic was 0-5 against Nadal at Grand Slam tournaments entering Sunday including retirements from a 2006 French Open quarternal and 2007 Wimbledon seminal. A more signicant head-to-head record, though, is one both men acknowledged played a role Sunday: Remarkably, Djokovic is 5-0 against Nadal this year, all in tournament nals, two on hard courts, two on clay courts, and now one on grass. When one player beat you ve times, (its) because today my game dont bother him a lot, Nadal said after his 20-match Wimbledon winning streak ended. Probably, the mental part is little bit dangerous for me. That showed at the rst key point, 40 minutes into the nal. Djokovic led 5-4, but neither player was having the least bit of trouble holding serve. Nadal went up 30-love in that 10th game, but Djokovic then won four consecutive points to claim the rst set. Rafael was too nervous at that big moment, said Toni Nadal, the players coach and uncle. Djokovic ran away with the second set, by doing precisely what Nadal has to so many opponents: sprinting to chase down apparent winners and get them back over the net, extending the point.
QUAKES
It was working for us. Thirty minutes after conceding the goal, San Jose caught a break when New York keeper Bouna Coundoul made contact with his defender in the box on a corner kick in the 37th minute. The ball trickled over to Stephenson who composed himself from 15 yards out and ried a shot into the back of the net. Those shots are easier to miss than to make, Stephenson said, because you have to get behind the ball. The equalizer gave the Quakes momentum going into half time. San Jose wouldn't capitalize on that until the 68th minute. It was then that Steven Beitashour pushed from his defensive position up the right side and sent a world-class cross into the 18. Steven Lenhart met the pass perfectly, rising above three New York defenders and beating Coundoul for his fth goal of the season.

I will not denitely stop here, even though I have achieved (the) two biggest things in my life in three days. Which, perhaps, is why he engaged in such a lengthy and original celebration, even tossing several rackets into the stands, the sort of crowd-pleasing gesture for which Djokovic (its pronounced JOE-ko-vich) long has been known. Indeed, early in his career, Djokovic stood out less for his shot-making than for his showmanship check out his spot-on impersonations of other pros, including Nadal, on YouTube and a hard-to-explain propensity for losing, or even quitting during, late-round matches at majors. Right now, though, the 24-year-old from Serbia is the total package, with the bona des to prove it. He credits a handful of factors with helping him truly excel recently: more maturity; condence from helping Serbia win its rst Davis Cup title in December; and a gluten-free diet he doesnt like to discuss in any detail. Djokovics only loss all season came against 16-time major champion Roger Federer in the French Open seminals a month ago, Djokovics seventh exit from a Grand Slam tournament in the nal four. For so many years, Federer and Nadal ruled tennis. One or the other was No. 1 every week since February 2004. One or the other won 22 of the last 26 Grand Slam tournaments, including Nadals 10 titles.

San Francisco appeared to have a shot to retake the lead in the eighth inning when Aaron Rowand drove a ball to left-center, but Raburn sprinted and fully extended to snatch the ball. From my angle I didnt think Raburn had a chance, but he made a great diving catch, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. If he doesnt make that, we take the lead and then we have a different bullpen strategy.

Brazils Marta makes mark on World Cup

By Raf Casert
AUGSBURG, Germany Marta made the World Cup tournament her own for a day, scoring two goals and assisting on another to lead Brazil into the quarternals with a 3-0 win over Norway on Sunday. The biggest star of the womens game brought samba heat to the rain-swept, 55-degree Wolfsburg stadium with stunning moves, speed, vision, nishing and even some rough play. The win puts the Brazilians alongside the United States as the biggest favorites for the title based on their play in the rst week of competition. Thank God, Marta is Brazilian, coach Kleiton Lima said. Brazils performance took attention away from a huge refereeing blunder in the other Group D game, during which Equatorial Guinea defender Bruna carried the ball in her hands for a couple of seconds in front of her own goal without being penalized. It didnt hurt Australia, which beat the African rookies 3-2 to maintain its shot at joining Brazil in the next round. No one seems a match for Brazil in the group, and Marta wants to nally give her nation the biggest cup of all. While the mens team has
won ve, the women have done no better than nishing as runners-up. They are big favorites now to top Group D, an added incentive for the United States to beat or tie with Sweden on Wednesday and avoid having to play Brazil in the quarters. Marta, the ve-time FIFA player of the year, showed off every side of her personality, even the tough part. She opened Sundays one-woman show by shoving Norwegian defender Nora Holstad Berge in the back, but followed with a series of sidesteps that would make even Cristiano Ronaldo proud. Once another defender was down from the blur of moves, she showed how unforgiving she was with a wicked drive inside. We had to use our bodies, me and my opponent, she said of the initial challenge. I think she stumbled. I would have to see it again. After a sullen performance in Brazils opener, she was inspired Sunday. If the ball was slippery for the others, it was merely slick for Marta. Early in the second half, she swerved past four defenders before cherry-picking Rosana to let her drive in the second goal. Marta then capitalized on a Norway error, moving one way across the goal yet striking the ball with the side of her foot to the other to cap a stunning

performance. And her teammates showed enough poise and determination to show that Brazil should be counted on right up to the nal weekend. We would love to be champions, Marta said. Theyre hoping to be able to claim for their own one of those famed World Cup-winning stars on the jersey. Norway, the 1995 champion, was totally outplayed and has sunk below Australia in the Group D standings on goal differential. It means Australia will advance with a tie against Norway in Wednesdays decisive match. The refereeing blunder did not affect Australias result. In the 16th minute of that game, a deection of a shot by Australias Leena Khamis hit the post, and as the ball bounced back, Bruna grabbed it with both hands, held it for a couple of seconds and then casually dropped it again. The Australians threw out their arms in amazement when Hungarian referee Gyoengyi Gaal failed to call a penalty. Since his team won anyhow, Australia coach Tom Sermanni was gracious about it after celebrating the victory. Ill take the referee out of the game. I mean, its not just about the referees, he said.

Tour champion Contador appears in trouble
LES ESSARTS, France Two-time defending champion Alberto Contador was in danger of falling from contention after only two days of racing in the Tour de France. The Spaniard, also the 2007 winner, is 75th overall 1 minute, 42 seconds behind leader Thor Hushovd. My opponents are still ahead of me in the general classication and I might not even be the biggest favorite to win overall anymore, but theres a long way to Paris and we will do anything to gain time to get back in the overall classication, Contador said. Contador tested positive for the banned anabolic agent clenbuterol during last years race. He denied any wrongdoing, but could be stripped of all his titles back to last July if the Court of Arbitration for Sport rules against him next month. This situation is not good for anyone, Contador told French TV. All the experts know this is not a doping case. The past year has been difcult for me. I would like the whole process to be over. Its very hard for me, my family and my friends.
Bautista top vote-getter for All-Star spots

By Ben Walker
NEW YORK Derek Jeter, David Ortiz and Roy Halladay led the usual slew of Yankees, Red Sox and Phillies picked for the All-Star game. Joining in this year, a Brew Crew. Outelder Ryan Braun, rst baseman Prince Fielder and second baseman Rickie Weeks made up a Milwaukee trio elected by fans to start July 12 in Phoenix. Quite a haul, the largest ever for a small-market team better known for sausage races than pennant races. It means the Milwaukee Brewers have arrived on the national scene, Braun, the top NL vote-getter, said Sunday before the Central co-leaders visited Minnesota. Fielder and Weeks were among several players who overcame voting decits in the nal week. Mets shortstop Jose Reyes, Dodgers outelder Matt Kemp and Detroit catcher Alex Avila also rallied late to earn starting spots.
Toronto outelder Jose Bautista, the reigning home run champion, drew a record 7.4 million votes. He became the rst Blue Jays player elected to start since Carlos Delgado in Jose Bautista 2003. People are recognizing that youre doing well and for me its been in three different territories the United States and Canada and the Dominican, Bautista said, a day after he connected off Halladay for his big league-leading 26th home run. I cant even describe how good that feels. The AL starting lineup: Adrian Gonzalez at rst base, Robinson Cano at second, Jeter at shortstop, Alex Rodriguez at third base, with Bautista, Josh Hamilton and Curtis Granderson in the outeld, Avila behind the plate and Ortiz at designated hitter.
The NL starters: Fielder at rst, Weeks at second, Reyes at short, Placido Polanco at third, with Braun, Kemp and Lance Berkman in the outelder and Brian McCann catching. San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy will choose the DH. Fans can vote on MLB.com through Thursday for the 34th player on each side. Injuries are sure to impact the nal rosters, too three-time NL MVP Albert Pujols was left off while recovering from a broken left wrist and Reyes is nursing a hamstring problem. Once again, the league that wins will get home-eld advantage in the World Series. Led by McCann, the NL won last year for the rst time since 1996. Phillies aces Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels and Halladay were part of the 13-man NL staff. Philadelphia has the best record in the majors. The World Series champion San Francisco Giants put four pitchers on the squad: Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, Brian Wilson and Ryan Vogelsong.

DENVER Melky Cabrera staked Kansas City to an early lead. His teammates made it stand up. Cabrera homered twice and drove in five runs as the Kansas City Royals tied a team record with 12 extra-base hits and outslugged Carlos Gonzalez and the Colorado Rockies 16-8 Sunday. Great day, Royals manager Ned Yost said. Two homers, swung the bat well and a triple shy of the cycle. Cabrera and Eric Hosmer, who also homered, had four hits apiece as Kansas City ended a ve-game losing streak. Mike Moustakas and Jeff Francoeur each got three of the Royals season-high 21 hits. The Royals 12 extra-base hits tied a franchise record set May 13, 1979. Cabrera matched his career best for hits and RBIs. Melky got us started and after that we just started driving the ball, Francoeur said. Weve got an offense thats pretty good. We can score some runs, but the last two weeks weve struggled. Kansas City tagged Jason Hammel (4-8) for six runs in 3 2-3 innings. Cabrera hit a solo homer in the rst and a three-run homer in the third, and the Royals took a 6-0 lead in the fourth. We were aggressive and we had a pretty good approach against that guy, Cabrera said. Gonzalez homered and tied a career high with six RBIs. But he left in the seventh inning after he ran into the center-eld wall and injured his right wrist.

Transformers a huge hit

By David Germain
LOS ANGELES Transformers robots have lost some of their money-making power but delivered the biggest opening weekend domestically so far this year. Distributor Paramount Pictures said Sunday that Transformers: Dark of the Moon took in $97.4 million domestically in its rst weekend. That beat the $90.2 million debut of Disneys Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. But the domestic haul for the sci- sequel was down from the $109 million rst weekend for 2009s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Since opening Tuesday night, the new Transformers pulled in $162 million domestically through Sunday, a drop from $200.1 million for Revenge of the Fallen in its rst ve days. Paramount estimates Dark of the Moon will hit $180.9 million domestically by the end of the long Fourth of July weekend Monday. Dark of the Moon added $210 million overseas, giving the movie a worldwide total of $372 million through Sunday. The movie broke the three-day Fourth of July weekend record for domestic revenue previously held by 2004s Spider-Man 2 at $88.2 million. But factoring in todays higher admission prices, Spider-Man 2 sold more tickets than Dark of the Moon. The movie also set a record for IMAX releases, delivering the large-screen formats rst-ever $20-million-plus opening globally. The company estimates that Dark of the Moon will reach $22.5 million at IMAX theaters worldwide by Monday. The third Transformers flick reunites Shia LaBeouf and director Michael Bay, who gave the franchise the 3-D treatment for the rst time as NASAs 1960s moon landing becomes a pivotal event in the ongoing war between the giant shape-shifting Autobots and their evil counterparts, the Decepticons. Sixty percent of domestic revenue and 70 percent of overseas cash came from 3-D ticket sales. That was a boost for 3-D business, which had slipped to 50 percent or less of revenues on some recent releases. On Stranger Tides passed a global mile-
stone, becoming the eighth movie ever to top $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales. It joined such billion-dollar-plus smashes as Avatar, Titanic, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest. While thats good news for Disney on its Pirates franchise, the studio lost mileage in the second weekend for its Pixar Animation tale Cars 2, which slipped from the No. 1 spot to second-place with $25.1 million domestically from Friday to Sunday. That marked a steep 62 percent decline from the movies $66.1 million opening weekend, a sign that Cars 2 may not go the usual distance for Pixar lms, whose revenues typically are down a modest 30 to 40 percent in the second weekend. Cars 2 received unusually poor reviews for Pixar, which until now has had a perfect track record, scoring critical and commercial successes with such gems as Up,
Ratatouille, Finding Nemo and the Toy Story lms. Still, Cars 2 has cruised to hit status, taking in $116 million domestically and $198.3 million worldwide through Sunday. Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts had a modest opening for their back-to-school romance Larry Crowne, which came in at No. 4 with $13 million domestically. The Universal Studios release was directed and co-written by Hanks and features him as a downsized retail worker who enrolls in community college, where he falls for his jaded public-speaking teacher (Roberts). The weekends other new wide release, 20th Century Foxs European adventure Monte Carlo, opened a weak No. 5 with $7.6 million domestically. The movie stars Selena Gomez, Katie Cassidy and Leighton Meester as American travelers who get the princess treatment in Monaco after Gomez impersonates a European heiress.
appy Independence Day. As many of you know, its not the happiest and most celebratory of days for our dogs. They celebrate when our partying is over, when the last jerko shoots a bottle rocket off in front of your house. Whether they are the safe and sane reworks legal in a dwindling number of Bay Area cities or the illegal and much louder ones, they drive many dogs to become so scared that they try to bust through fences, scratch at doors and screens injuring themselves or damaging your property. And these are the lucky ones. The ones who succeed in eeing their homes or yards are in serious trouble. They can become so disoriented that theyll run for miles, injuring the pads of their feet and quickly end up nowhere near the places you would think to look. A kind neighbor may be able to coax your dog into a garage or car, check the ID tag and call you. But, far too often, this isnt the case. We know July 5 is one of the busiest days at our shelter. Follow these tips tonight and for the next few nights if you have a new dog or one who has trouble with this holiday. Make sure your dogs ID tag has current, visible information, just in case. Bring your four-legged friend inside as much as possible and especially at night (if he doesnt usually come in), and keep him in a room with the blinds or curtains drawn. Turn on a television or radio to drown out the scary sounds from outside. And, of course, stay with him as much as you can. If your dog becomes stray, visit our shelter at least every other day, immediately post Lost Dog iers (well give you a template) in your neighborhood with your pets photo, your contact information and a reward. And be sure to knock on neighbors doors.

Radiohead ventures into Chinese social media

By Min Lee
HONG KONG Radiohead has taken a tentative step into censored Chinese cyberspace, even though the British rock band has been critical of Chinas human rights record. Radiohead recently launched a page on the weibo site of leading Chinese Internet portal Sina.com. Weibo, which translates as microblog, is the Chinese-equivalent of Twitter. But the band has only posted a single message on Friday. It says testing the weibo. Sina.com checks the authenticity of celebrity weibos and has certied the
Radiohead weibo as genuine. The move comes despite Radioheads activism against Chinese government policies. The rock group has performed at Free Tibet concerts and in December, posted a note on its ofcial website urging fans to campaign for the release of Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, who won the Nobel Peace Prize last year. You know it makes sense, the band said. Such comments will be unthinkable on Radioheads Sina microblog. The Chinese government screens Internet content for material it deems politically sensitive, such as calls for greater autonomy in Tibet and commentary on the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown. Foreign social media sites such as
YouTube, Facebook and Twitter are blocked. Microblogs are required to delete questionable posts. Sina CEO Charles Chao told Forbes magazine in March that its weibo has at least 100 employees monitoring content 24 hours a day. In a recent example of suspected celebrity censorship, Hong Kong actresssinger Gigi Leung last year removed an excerpt from a news story about a Chinese activists court case from her Sina weibo account. Fans believe Leung was muzzled but her agent said she removed the story herself after some of her followers left messages saying they were upset by the story.

In the year ahead youll find that its time for you to alleviate all self-imposed limitations or restrictions youve placed on yourself. Several new experiences will show you just how freedom of thought can enhance success.
CanCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you have a matter of
significance that you need to discuss with another, try to find the time to get in touch with him or her. Dont put it off any longer, and dont use any intermediaries. lEo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont sell yourself short, because your earning potential is better than usual at
this time. If you get out there and do what you can to make things happen, something good will come along. VIRGo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- In order to protect your interests and those of any other people involved with you, use all your powers and talents to bring things into being as promptly as possible. Time is not on your side. lIBRa (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Get going on that project or job assignment as soon as you can, while major accomplishments are possible. The longer you put it off, the less your chances are of finishing it in a timely manner. SCoRPIo (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Instead of wasting your time hanging out with those who inhibit your vision, you should try to associate with the doers of the world. Theyre the ones wholl inspire you to explore new horizons.
SaGITTaRIuS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Its to your
advantage to establish lofty goals that can take you to new places with new people who are trying to reach greater heights. It behooves you to try harder to gratify your dreams.

Its not the first time theyve offered to help you out. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- As long as you continue to proceed in a positive, cooperative manner, a
partnership arrangement you have with a good friend will work out to the advantage of both of you. aRIES (March 21-April 19) -- Tackle that work assignment first thing. The longer you shilly-shally, the bigger the job will get, eventually becoming overwhelming. TauRuS (April 20-May 20) -- Although you could do rather well for yourself with undertakings that have elements of chance attached to them, dont carry this to the point of taking any foolish risks. GEMInI (May 21-June 20) -- Be on your toes in case those circumstances you need in order to make your move suddenly manifest. They could occur when you least expect them.

Thailand names woman prime minister

By Todd Pitman
BANGKOK The sister of Thailands fugitive former prime minister led his loyalists to a landslide election victory Sunday, a stunning rout of the military-backed government that last year crushed protests by his supporters with a bloody crackdown that left the capital in ames. The results pave the way for Thaksin Shinawatras youngest sister, widely considered his proxy, to become the nations rst female prime minister if the coup-prone Thai army accepts the results. The Southeast Asian kingdom has been wracked by upheaval since 2006, when Thaksin was toppled in a military coup amid accusations of corruption and a rising popularity that some saw as a threat to the

nations much-revered monarchy. The coup touched off a schism between the countrys haves and long-silent have-nots pitting the marginalized rural poor who hailed Thaksins populism against an elite establishment bent on defending the status quo that sees him as a corrupt autocrat. Last years violent demonstrations by Red Shirt protesters most of them Thaksin backers and the subsequent crackdown marked the boiling over of those divisions. On Sunday, though, they played out at the ballot box in a vote that will decide the shape of Thailands fragile democracy. The Pheu Thai party was led to an overwhelming victory by Thaksins 44-year-old sister, Yingluck Shinawatra, a U.S.-educated businesswoman hand-picked by her billionaire brother.
He has called her his clone. The partys slogan is: Thaksin Thinks, Pheu Thai Acts. From exile 3,000 miles away in the desert emirate of Dubai, the 61year-old Thaksin hailed the outcome. People are tired of a standstill, he said in an interview broadcast on Thai television. They want to see change in a peaceful manner. At her party headquarters across town, Yingluck told an electried crowd of supporters: I dont want to say that Pheu Thai wins today. Its a victory of the people. With 98 percent of the vote counted, preliminary results from the Election Commission showed the Pheu Thai party far ahead with 264 of 500 parliament seats, well over the majority needed to form a government. The Democrat party of armybacked incumbent Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva had 160 seats.
Chavezs cancer revelation rattles Venezuela, socialists

McCain: Afghan drawdown unnecessary risk

CARACAS, Venezuela President Hugo Chavezs disclosure that he is being treated for cancer is raising questions about whether he will be able to run for re-election next year and how his illness may impact the future of his socialist movement in Latin America. While Chavez remained in Cuba on Friday recovering from surgery that removed a cancerous tumor, he sought to assure his supporters that he remains in charge and expects to fully recover.
Were optimistic and we know well get out of this, Chavez said. Questions remain about how sick Chavez is. He announced Thursday night that a surgery had successfully removed the tumor in his pelvic region, though he didnt give details about what kind of cancer he had or say how soon he might return home. In the streets, hundreds of the ailing leaders supporters poured into a downtown plaza, shouting Onward, commander! They wrote get-well messages on large paper signs, including some that read Chavez forever.
KABUL, Afghanistan Three U.S. senators visiting Kabul said Sunday they are worried that President Barack Obamas planned withdrawal of 33,000 American troops by September 2012 could undermine Afghan morale, embolden the insurgency and hamper efforts to defeat Taliban ghters. John McCain, Joe Lieberman and Lindsay Graham said they are heartened by the progress of Afghan security forces, but worry that Obamas withdrawal plan could deplete American military strength before dealing a decisive blow to the
Taliban, especially in eastern Afghanistan. That part of the country is a haven for the Afghan and Pakistani wings of the Taliban, and al-Qaida John McCain afliates. I believe that the planned drawdown is an unnecessary risk, McCain, a Republican from Arizona, who claimed that no military leader has spoken in favor of the timetable. Lt. Gen. John R. Allen, a Marine
general expected to carry out the presidents drawdown order, has said the schedule is a bit more aggressive than the military had anticipated. Allen has cautioned that successfully winding down the war will require new progress on a wide front, including more help from allies and less Afghan corruption. McCain during a stop at the Kabul headquarters of the foreign military contingent, called the International Security Assistance Force said hes concerned there may not be enough American troops for a move from southern Afghanistan to the east to nish the job there.
