The space shuttle Atlantis STS-135 lifts off from launch pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral,Fla.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. With a cry from its commander to light this re one more time, the last shuttle thundered into orbit Friday on a cargo run that will close out three decades of both triumph and tragedy for NASA and usher in a period of uncertainty for
Americas space program. After some last-minute suspense over the weather and a piece of launch-pad equipment, Atlantis and its four astronauts blasted off practically on schedule at 11:29 a.m., pierced a shroud of clouds and settled flawlessly into orbit in front of a crowd estimated at close to 1 million, the size of the throng that watched Apollo 11
shoot the moon in 1969. It was the 135th shuttle ight since the inaugural mission in 1981. Lets light this re one more time, Mike, and witness this great nation at its best, Atlantis commander Christopher Ferguson told launch director Mike Leinbach just before liftoff.
At T minus 31 seconds to liftoff, there was a delay in the countdown to the launch of STS-135, Atlantis, the nal ight of NASAs space shuttle program. A soft groan waved over the crowd of about 100 people who gathered to watch the historic event Friday morning via live broadcast at
the NASA Ames Research Center at Moffett Field. What ended up being only about a two-minute delay didnt keep the last crew from going to space Friday. The crowd began to count down in the nal seconds. Eleven-year-old Max Curoso from Pleasanton eagerly yelled blast off as the sparks underneath
SACRAMENTO A panel charged with reviewing plans for Californias $43 billion high-speed rail project says planners need to answer serious questions about the cost, business model and expected
ridership of the system before the Legislature approves construction. It is no exaggeration to say that the next few months may offer the last chance for the governor and Legislature to assess and inuence the overall plans for the project, before irrevocable construction begins, says the report by the
California High-Speed Rail Authority Peer Review Group. The first phase of the project is scheduled to start in September 2012 in the Central Valley. Critics want to start in more populated areas of Southern or Northern California in case the money runs out before the full
system is finished. The six-member peer review group submitted its report in response to a request from lawmakers who were concerned about a scathing May review of the project by the state Legislative Analysts Ofce. That analysis recommended lawmakers essentially suspend the
project and request more spending leeway from federal ofcials, as well as shift responsibility for the project to the state Department of Transportation. The group rejected both ideas but emphasized the crucial need for a detailed business plan that the

A week after prosecutors contend Jose Hernandez Gomez snapped photos up the skirt of a female Nordstrom Rack customer, the married San Francisco man pleaded no contest to misdemeanor disorderly conduct. Gomez, 33, was sentenced to 12 days jail with credit for time served and 18 months court probation. He was also ordered to stay away from Nordstrom Rack in Colma where the incident occurred. On June 30, Colma police arrested
Hernandez after a store loss prevention officer spotted him on a surveillance camera. Hernandez held a camera with his hand and slid it under the womans skirt to take a photograph. The woman was comJose Gomez pletely unaware, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, but later reported that she had noticed Gomez near her while shopping and
he made her feel uncomfortable. Gomez initially pleaded not guilty and was scheduled for trial later this month but changed his mind at a pretrial conference. He pleaded no contest to a single misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct by means of secretly photographing an individual. After his arrest, Gomez said he took the under-skirt photograph because it was easy to get away with, Wagstaffe said. Although Gomez has served his jail time, he remains in custody because he is not eligible for release due to an undisclosed hold.

SAN FRANCISCO The son of a Pakistani ofcial who was assassinated by an Islamic extremist has led a lawsuit against American Airlines after he and his wife were escorted from a plane in handcuffs in response to a telephone hijacking threat that turned out to be a hoax. Shahbaz Ali Taseer and his wife, Maheen Ghani Taseer, claim they were victims of
racial proling by the airline and police when they were taken off the New York-bound ight at San Franciscos airport on Aug. 19, 2010. The only reason (police) went to them is because their names were Maheen Ghani Taseer and Shahbaz Ali Taseer, the couples attorney Joel Siegal said Friday. They were singled out and treated as the most vile terrorists. The suit alleged the newly married couple suffered extreme humiliation and embarrass-
ment, harm to their reputations and a fear of travel. It sought unspecied damages. The lawsuit, rst led in March in San Francisco Superior Court, was transferred to federal court on Tuesday. The plane was diverted to a remote stretch of tarmac after authorities were notied of a telephone threat that it would be hijacked. The Taseers were the only passengers to be interrogated and held for hours, the lawsuit stated. The FBI later determined the threat was a hoax.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday signed into law a $150 annual wildre protection fee for property owners in rural areas of California, even as anti-tax advocates said they are prepared to challenge the way the Legislature imposed the levy. The Democratic governor announced that he signed the bill, ABX1-29. to ensure rural property owners pay their share of the states wildland reghting costs. The state has spent an average of $177 million a year for reghting over the past decade, although the state is awaiting federal reimbursement for part of the costs in recent years. The fee is expected to generate $50 million during this scal year and
$200 million annually in the future, taking pressure off the states general fund. As a result of population increases and urban developJerry Brown ment in state responsibility areas in recent decades, there has been a signicant increase in state costs associated with re protection in state wildland areas, Brown wrote in his bill signing message. The fee was one of two the Legislatures Democratic majority approved as part of the state budget for the scal year that began July 1. The other is a $12 hike to the vehicle registration fee.

Double-double trouble?
The new In-N-Out Burger may have ordered up a batch of trouble make that double-double trouble with its telltale red and yellow arrow sign that its San Carlos neighbors say provides an unwelcome neon glow over their backyards and jeopardizes their property values. The restaurant at 445 Industrial Road also continues serving up complaints about everything from trafc and delivery truck noise to greenhouse gases and the impact to the small-town feel. Ben Fuller, president of the Greater East San Carlos neighborhood association board, sent out a mass email to its members and residents asking what they thought. Are there still concerns? Is there a valid problem behind speculative worry and second-hand accounts? We are not anti-progress and growth. We are very reasonable people and wanted to see if theres truth to what weve been hearing, Fuller said. The amount of response has been signicant. Although a few comments of welcome are tucked in, the majority range from those who merely want the 65-foot sign removed or lowered to those who think the city would benet most if the outt simply closed up shop.
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama used a bleak jobs report Friday to prod Congress toward a swift agreement on decits and the national debt. But the higher unemployment numbers hardened partisan views that a weak economy cant tolerate added taxes or cuts in spending, both key to the grand deal Obama seeks. White House, congressional negotiators and their aides worked to bridge differences over how to reduce long term decits by as much as $4 trillion over 10 years. Obama
plans to call the eight top leaders of Congress to the White House on Sunday to assess progress. Summing up the difculties facing them, House Speaker John Boehner likened the task to a notoriously confounding puzzle. This is a Rubiks Cube that we havent quite worked out yet, he said. A budget agreement is central to increasing the nations borrowing limit, currently capped at $14.3 trillion, to avoid a potentially catastrophic government default after Aug. 2. That looming deadline and a new unemployment rate of 9.2 percent heightened the pressure for a deal, uniting the two most high-probillion in voter-approved bonds. Weve been very vocal about the fact that there are huge challenges ahead for the high-speed rail project, Barker said Friday. Weve said we need to advocate for more funding, weve talked about structural issues and the need for more staff, weve talked about the need to assure we have all the right tools within state government to have a public-private agency. ... None of this stuff is new or shocking or were in disagreement with. Sen. Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, chairman of the Senate
le challenges now facing Obamas presidency. Obama called on Congress to move quickly to raise the debt ceiling. He said uncertainty over a potential default has hindered hiring in the private sector. The sooner we get this done, the sooner that the markets know that the debt limit ceiling will have been raised and that we have a serious plan to deal with our debt and decit, the sooner that we give our businesses the certainty they will need in order to make additional investments to grow and hire, Obama said from the Rose Garden in the morning. Select Committee on High-Speed Rail, said the report from the internal group puts additional pressure on the rail authority to present a credible plan that includes plans to bring in private-sector partners that will eventually be responsible for running trains on the track. The high-speed rail authority, theyve got to present a document that everybody buys off on or it will be a crisis, Lowenthal said Friday. The state is under pressure to spend $3.5 billion in federal funds and nish construction of the rst phase of the project by 2017.

The chance of a July bounce back in the economy looks pretty slim now, said Jay Tyner, president of Semmax Financial Group in Greensboro, N.C. Expectations for Fridays jobs report were raised Thursday after payroll processor ADP said that private companies added more than 150,000 jobs in June. While the ADP report does not always accurately predict the broader Labor Department report, some investors said that the apparent clashing pictures of the job market were due to a jobs pickup in the last weeks of June.
Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Friday on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market: NYSE Monster Worldwide Inc., down 48 cents at $14.65 Hiring was down in June. Weak demand for employees could mean companies will post fewer jobs on the companys website. Manpower Inc.,down $2.49 at $56.13 The stafng rm took a hit after an exceptionally poor jobs report showed slowing demand for temporary workers. FTI Consulting Inc.,up 39 cents at $38.39 The business advisory rm estimated that second-quarter revenue would top Wall Street analystsestimates. Autoliv Inc.,down $8.63 at $71.14 The auto parts supplier said its results may be hurt because of antitrust investigations by European and U.S.ofcials. Nasdaq Cree Inc.,down $1.25 at $32.23 Shares of the LED lighting maker tumbled after a rival,Taiwans SemiLEDs,issued a forecast that was far worse than expected. News Corp.,down 68 cents at $16.75 The British prime minister indicated that there would be a delay in approving the media companys bid for broadcaster BSkyB. Google Inc.,down $14.61 at $531.99 Morgan Stanley analysts downgraded the search engine company, saying its heavy spending on new products will hurt margins. Amylin Pharmaceuticals Inc., up 51 cents at $14.22 The company said its diabetes medication appears safe for the heart,addressing concerns that delayed its federal review last year.
An unexpected drop in hiring put an end to the excitement that had been bubbling up on Wall Street over the past two weeks. Stock indexes fell sharply Friday, erasing most of the weeks gains, after the government reported that U.S. employers created the fewest number of jobs in nine months. The 18,000 net jobs in created in June were a fraction of what many economists expected and dampened hopes that the economy was improving. Private companies added jobs at the slowest pace in more than a year. The unemployment rate edged up to 9.2 percent, its highest level this year. A broader measure of weakness in the labor market was even worse. Among Americans who want to work, 16.2 percent are either unemployed or unable to nd full-time jobs. That was up from 15.8 percent in May. Theres just a lot more evidence than before that were in an extended weak patch, said Brian Gendreau, market strategist for Cetera Financial Group. He said private economists will likely reduce their projections for overall economic growth this year. The Standard and Poors 500 index fell 9.42 points, or 0.7 percent, to 1,343.80.
WASHINGTON Americans took on more debt in May and used their credit cards more for only the second time in nearly three years. Consumers stepped up their borrowing just as the economy began to slump and hiring slowed. The Federal Reserve said Friday that consumer borrowing rose $5.1 billion in May, the eighth straight monthly increase. It followed a revised gain of $5.7 billion in April. Borrowing in the category that covers credit cards increased, as did borrowing in the category for auto and student loans. The overall increase pushed consumer borrowing to a seasonally adjusted annu-
al level of $2.43 trillion in May. That was just 1.7 percent higher than the nearly four-year low of $2.39 trillion hit in September. Borrowing is a sign of condence in the economy. Consumers tend to take on more debt when they feel wealthier. That boosts consumer spending. Ultimately, it gives businesses more faith to expand and hire. But an increase in credit card debt can also be a sign of people falling on harder times. The economy added just 18,000 jobs in June, the fewest in nine months, the Labor Department said Friday. It was the second straight month of feeble job growth. The unemployment rate rose to 9.2 percent, the highest rate of the year. Economists have said that temporary
factors, in part, have forced some employers to scale back hiring plans. High gas prices have cut into consumer spending, which fuels 70 percent of economic activity. And supply-chain disruptions stemming from the Japan crisis have slowed U.S. manufacturing production. The increase in credit card borrowing marked only the second monthly gain since August 2008. Households began borrowing less and saving more when unemployment spiked during the Great Recession. Many have resisted pulling out their credit cards in the two years since the downturn ended. Even with the May increase in credit card debt, this category is down 4.4 percent over the past year and 18.5 percent from its peak in August 2008.
SAN FRANCISCO Groupons online coupons save people cash, but theyre not always great deals for merchants. Some businesses complain that bargain hunters rarely return after scoring a cheap meal or massage. A new site called LevelUp believes it has a way for restaurants, nail salons and other local businesses to keep people coming back. To drum up repeat business, the company offers consumers a series of three deals, each better than the one before. Online deal sites abound, but LevelUp hopes to stand out by giving people an initial offer thats on par with competi-
tors and following that up with even better deals. After three visits, LevelUp gures that customers will be familiar with the merchant enough to return, even without discounts. Its still too early to say whether enough consumers will be willing to pay full price a key factor that will determine whether LevelUp becomes a serious threat to Groupon or remains one of hundreds of wannabes. Groupon created a new marketing phenomenon catering to peoples hunger for bargains. It offers the chance to purchase discounts targeted to a persons city and preferences. For example, someone might pay $20 for a $40 gift certicate to a spa, restaurant, car wash or yoga studio.
The Chicago-based companys upcoming initial public offering of stock is expected to be in high demand, even though it lost $413 million last year on revenue of $713 million. The harsh reality of the online coupon business is that the concept of offering customers deep discounts is easy to replicate. All you need is a sales team to craft deals with merchants, and an email service for blasting those offers to people who sign up on a website. But rivals have difficulty breaking through because market leader Groupon already has 83 million people subscribing to its daily offers by email, and second-place LivingSocial has 39 million. By contrast, LevelUp has just 100,000 subscribers.
NEW YORK Wells Fargo & Co. has agreed to pay $125 million to a group of pension funds and other investors to settle allegations the bank failed to warn investors of the risks the poorly-written mortgage backed securities.
The proposed settlement was filed Wednesday in a California federal court and represents lawsuits led by the pension funds of Detroit, Alameda County, New Orleans, Guam, and other plaintiffs. The settlement is subject to court approval. The mortgage-backed securities were
sold by Wells Fargo in 2005 and 2006. The investors said in their complaint that in its bid to collect fees, the bank misstated and omitted details that show the securities were backed by poor quality mortgages sold to people without proper documentation. The bank denied any wrongdoing.

U.S.goalkeeper Hope Solo, left, thwarted Marta, above left,during the gold-medal match at the 2008 Olympic nal in Beijing. The Solo-Marta matchup could be the deciding factor in Sundays Womens World Cup quaternal match.
DRESDEN, Germany Bent at the waist, her back to the goal, Marta buried her face in her hands. Her left-footed blast from 6 yards looked certain to be a winner, the goal that would give Brazils women the Olympic gold medal and their rst title at a major tournament. How, Marta would ask afterward, did she not score? Hope Solo, thats how. I just remember Marta being point-blank cracking it, and Hope stretching out and getting a hand on it, U.S. captain Christie Rampone said. Seeing it out of the corner of your eye, yeah, you think its going in. It gave us that adrenaline going forward. Fired up by Solos highlight-reel save, the Americans would go on to claim their second straight Olympic gold medal in Beijing. Brazil, eager to escape the shadow of its brilliant mens team, went home bitterly disappointed, runners-up for the third straight time
at a major tournament. The Brazil-United States matchup in Sundays World Cup quarternals is their rst since that 2008 Olympic nal, and Brazil would seem to have the advantage. Marta remains the most dynamic player in the game, the FIFA player of the year for ve years running, and Brazil had little trouble winning its group. The Americans, meanwhile, lost for the rst time in World Cup group play and are in danger of making their earliest exit ever from the tournament. But the Americans still have Hope, and both sides are well aware of it. Of course shes a great player, Marta said after Brazils practice Friday night. But I hope I would have the opportunity to score. Marta hasnt scored yet against Solo in international play but neither have any of her teammates. Solo has started the last four games against Brazil, with the U.S. winning each 1-0. Ironic, considering it was then-coach Greg Ryans decision to sit Solo against Brazil in the seminals of the 2007 World Cup that
sparked such a restorm. The U.S. was routed 4-0, its worst loss in history, and Solo ripped Ryans decision afterward, saying, It was the wrong decision, and I think anybody that knows anything about the game knows that. Ryan kicked Solo off the team, not even letting her be on the bench for the third-place game. A month later, Ryan was essentially red. We all respect Hope and we all love Hope, Lauren Cheney said. We know shes great person and a great soccer player. Just check out that save in 2008. Brazil had dominated much of the Olympic nal with its dazzling speed and control, forcing Solo to make one save after another. But it looked as if Brazil would break through in the 72nd minute when Marta made a run down the left side. Kate Markgraf and Heather Mitts caught up to her and took the ball away for a second, but Marta got it back and blasted a shot from just outside the 6-yard box.
A decade ago, Bob Hammer was not having a ball. Stricken with testicular cancer twice the Hammer family was going to be altered forever. This year, not only is son Josh dubbed a miracle baby by Hammer 8 years old, Hammer has transformed from an average guy into one of the biggest private generators of money for cancer research in the country. Hammer is the founder of the Have A Ball golf charity event. In just seven short years, the Have A Ball Foundation went from a oneday, one-time only event to a two-day event this year. And this year his organization will surpass the $1 million mark in money raised. Its a big number, admitted Hammer, a San Carlos native who now lives in Danville. The Have A Ball tournament has come a long way in a short amount of time. The rst year, 2005, Hammers group raised $50,000 and donated $35,000 to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The LAF was significant in Hammers ability to have children. Hammer ended up working with Armstrongs personal oncologist, Dr. Craig Nichols, who gave Hammer a different plan of attack that did not involve surgery, thus allowing Hammer to bear children. Last year, he donated that same $35,000 to the LAF in addition to making donations
ARLINGTON, Texas Go to the ballpark and catch a foul ball: Its what every fan wants to do. And so it was for 6-year-old Cooper Stone. He and his dad even stopped to buy a new glove on the way to the Texas Rangers game Thursday night. Even better, their seats were in the left eld stands, shouting distance from Coopers favorite player, reigning AL MVP Josh Hamilton. Maybe, just maybe, he would throw one their way. In the second inning, he did. Hamilton grabbed a foul ball that ricocheted into left eld, and tossed it into the stands. The boys father, 6-foot-3 Shannon Stone,
caught it, tumbled over a 33-inch-tall railing and plunged 20 feet onto concrete below, right in front of his son. The 39-year-old reghter died a short time later at a hospital. Thats what they were there for, was to catch a ball, Shannon Stones mother, Suzann, said. Cooper loves baseball and hes a big Josh Hamilton fan. Had his jersey. Pitching great Nolan Ryan, now the teams president, said the tragedy hits us at our roots of who we are. Were about making memories, family entertainment, he said. I certainly understand and Im no different than our fan base when I was younger and I went to the ballpark my hope was to get a foul ball. You can see how many people come into
our ballpark with gloves, just hoping to have that opportunity, Ryan said. Thats just part of the experience of being there. On Friday, players had the option of getting grief counseling; both teams planned to wear black ribbons on their uniforms. At Rangers Ballpark, ags ew at half-staff and a black tarpaulin covered the gap where Stone fell. A moment of silence was planned before the Rangers and Oakland Athletics played the second game of their four-game series. Hamilton, still grappling with the aftermath of the wrenching night, said Friday he could hear the boy screaming for his dad after Stone fell. The player said he remembers the fall like it happened in slow motion.
How do you create a triathlete? Do you start with a unreal physical stamina? Or maybe the most important ingredient is mental toughness? Chiseled arms and legs perhaps? Well, to trace South San Francisco resident John Dahlzs transformation into an elite triathlete, you have to go back to when he was 13 and a loaf of Iron Kids bread. My buddy and I were making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Dahlz said, and Iron Kids bread was advertising a triathlon and my friend was like you should do a triathlon. At that time ignorance is bliss because youre like yeah sure without knowing what youre getting yourself into. It was that encounter that set Dahlz on a course that included a career at the University of California at Berkeley where he was the 2009 USA Triathlon Collegiate National Champion, and a place in Saturdays 2011 USA Triathlon Elite Race Series, which makes its third stop at Treasure Island in San Francisco.

Jenny Stone, the victims 36-year-old widow, worried how her only son would recover from the horror of not just watching his father fall but riding in the front of the ambulance on the way to the hospital. At the request of the Stone family, MLB.com has not posted video of the accident. Shes very concerned about her son and the impact that this is having on him, said Ryan, who spoke with her by phone in Brownwood, about 150 miles from Arlington. She asked if I could do anything about the video footage that is being shown. Replays showed the boy watching as his father stretched and reached out to grab the ball and then fell through a gap of several feet between the lefteld seats and the 14-foot-high outeld wall that has a video scoreboard on it. All-Star closer Chris Perez of the Indians said the tragedy will make him think twice about tossing a ball to a fan. Im denitely going to make sure it is nowhere near a railing, he said. When you are a kid, its cool because it is a lasting memory. But when I see adults knocking one another over to get one, not an historic home run ball or something like that, but just a baseball ... well, I just shake my head. City ofcials say the building code requires the guardrails to be at least 26 inches high. Ed Dryden, Arlingtons building ofcial, said railings throughout the park are 33 inches high. There have been other falls at the 17-year-old stadium. Last July, a man survived after tumbling from an upper deck as he tried to catch a foul ball. In 1994, a woman fell about 35 feet as she posed for a picture after the Rangers rst game. After last years accident, Ryan said the team studied the railings and felt safety was adequate; he said he wasnt prepared to say if any changes might be made now. As an organization we are going to be looking into this because our No. 1 concern is the safety of our fans, Ryan said. Well do whatever we have to do to make this stadium as safe as we possibly can for our fans. Major League Baseball promised a review of the incident to ensure a safe environment for our fans. It was the second fatal fall at a major league stadium this season. In May, a fan died after falling about 20 feet and striking his head on concrete during a Colorado Rockies game; witnesses told police he had been trying to slide down a staircase railing and lost his balance. John McHale Jr., Major League Baseballs executive vice president of administration, said there is no centralized process for overseeing safety at ballparks and the Texas accident may change that. He said most safety issues are left to the clubs.
Rangers 8, As 5
Brownwood firefighter Shannon Stone tumbled over a railing after catching a foul ball tossed into the stands by Hamilton. Its not been an easy day, Oakland reliever Brad Ziegler said before the game. Theres going Josh Hamilton to be a stretch here where were all going to grieve for a while. Hamilton was in the starting lineup despite the emotional 24 hours, going 1 for 5. In a sixth-inning at bat, Hamiltons foul ball struck a fan seated several rows behind the Oakland dugout. Before the game, the teams observed a moment of silence in Stones memory. Both teams wore black ribbons on their uniform tops. The temperature at rst pitch was 105 degrees, highest in the 18-year history of Rangers Ballpark. The As have lost ve of seven.
ARLINGTON, Texas C.J. Wilson pitched seven effective innings, Mike Napoli hit a rst-inning grand slam off Gio Gonzalez, and the Texas Rangers stretched their winning streak to ve games with an 8-5 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Friday night a night after a fan was killed in a fall while catching a foul ball. Josh Hamilton, who tossed the ball to the fan on Thursday night, hit a fan with a foul ball off his bat. The teenage male fan had blood on his face and was tended to by stadium personnel before he walked away, smiling while he held a compress to his head. Rangers ofcials said the fan was treated at the stadium and was OK. They didnt identify him or provide additional details. Wilson (9-3) won his fth straight decision to tie Alexi Ogando for the team lead in wins, allowing four runs and ve hits with eight strikeouts and three walks. Ian Kinsler and Adrian Beltre also homered off Gonzalez (8-6), Oaklands lone All-Star. Both teams were still dealing with the aftermath of the death of the fan from a 20-foot fall in the second inning of Thursday nights 6-0 Texas victory.
Gonzalez had few answers for a slugging Rangers lineup that has outscored opponents 44-15 during the ve-game winning streak. He lasted a season-low four innings, giving up seven runs only three earned and seven hits. Gonzalez entered the night with a 4-1 record and 2.18 ERA in nine career appearances against the Rangers. Gonzalez had good fortune on his side in his previous start at Texas on May 11 when he gave up seven runs in 2 2-3 innings, but the game was postponed by heavy rain. The Rangers jumped on Gonzalez with a ve-run rst highlighted by Napolis third career grand slam. Texas scored the games rst run when Oakland shortstop Adam Rosales made a fielding error on Beltres hot grounder. Michael Young reached on an ineld single that rolled just inside the third base foul line to load the bases, and after Nelson Cruz struck out, Napoli ripped Gonzalezs rst pitch into the left eld seats for his 12th homer of the season. Oaklands Scott Sizemore hit a solo homer in the second, the rst long ball allowed by Wilson since Tampa Bays Matt Joyce on May 31, a span of 44 1-3 innings.

baseball bat, as he did when he blew a save at Detroit last week and went into meltdown mode. He was charged with two runs and only recorded one out. The victory was a big boost for a Mets team in the midst of what could be a record of facing seven straight All-Star starters. New York knuckleballer R.A. Dickey overcame tightness in his left buttocks and a partial tear of the plantar fascia in his right foot to match Ryan Vogelsong, who was the second All-Star starting pitcher to face the Mets in as many days. Both starters allowed two runs in seven innings, and the few opportunities were a struggle. After Beltran doubled leading off the fourth, Vogelsong walked the bases loaded with one out. The right-hander rebounded to get Josh Thole to ground into an inning-ending double play, and the Giants didnt waste the momentum. Pablo Sandoval extended his career-best hitting streak to 19 games with a double off the wall in left to start the fourth. He scored from
SAN FRANCISCO Pinch-hitter Scott Hairston hit a tiebreaking home run off AllStar closer Brian Wilson in the ninth inning, leading the New York Mets past the San Francisco Giants 5-2 on Friday night. Hairston opened the ninth by sending a fullcount pitch from Wilson (6-2) over the wall in left eld for his fourth home run of the season. Carlos Beltran and Nick Evans added RBIs in the inning Brian Wilson to help the Mets to their fth victory in six games. Nate Schierholtz tied the score in the sixth with a solo shot into McCovey Cove and drove in San Franciscos only other run with a sacrice y. Reliever Pedro Beato (2-1) earned the win, and Francisco Rodriguez pitched a scoreless ninth for his 23rd save. Wilson kept his cool and refrained from tossing a water cooler or smashing it with a
third on Schierholtzs sacrice y to center to give San Francisco a 1-0 lead. New York didnt take long to answer. Angel Pagan smacked a 1-0 pitch from Vogelsong over the brick wall in right to put the Mets ahead 2-1 in the fth. The home run was Pagans third this season, and only the second Vogelsong has given up at home. San Francisco kept pace with the long ball when Schierholtz hit his rst career home run into McCovey Cove to tie the score at 2 in the sixth. The homer was only the second splash shot of the season and 57th ever by a Giants player, with 35 belonging to all-time home run king Barry Bonds. That was enough to keep Vogelsongs unbeaten streak intact. The journeyman turned ace hasnt lost since allowing one run in a 3-1 loss to Florida on May 26. He struck out two, walked ve and lowered his ERA to 2.17 fourth-best in the majors in his nal start before his rst AllStar appearance.

CHATEAUROUX, France Finally, the mountains. After seven days of narrow, sinewy roads and sometimes erce rain, Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck await a change of scenery. They made it through the crash-marred rst week of
the Tour de France relatively unscathed. Although the hills in Saturdays eighth stage are far less daunting than later climbs in the Pyrenees and Alps, they will be a welcome sight. It will be a relief after several nervous and dangerous stages, Schleck said. British sprinter Mark Cavendish won Since then, Dahlz has immersed himself in the coaching ranks, heading a team 150-people strong while still training, competing and keeping his personal dreams alive. Ive been in double-digit crashes this year, said a chuckling Dahlz, adding that Alcatraz was the rst race this year when he wasnt hit by a car. His last encounter with a car came a week before a competition when a Suburban hit him as it turned right into a parking lot. Despite those incidents, Dahlz continued to train. The course at Treasure Island is one he is used to, having raced it a handful of times in the past its a 1,500-meter swim, 40kilometer bike and 10-kilometer run. Its probably one of the most technical races Ive ever done, Dahlz said. Just the nature of it, since its conned on an island, you dont have very many options. The bike course is six laps. Ive done it the past four years, its pretty technical. Theres always crashes, it can be windy on the island. Its a deceptively hard course, it denitely beats you up. And this is like Alcatraz, for some reason I dont do well on my home course, he said, adding that his best nish was 11th a couple of years ago. Even with its difculties, the course at Treasure Island is one Dahlz is looking forward to. The novelty of a course, its exciting to get out there and not know what to expect, I do think its easier to just stay in the moment and not overanalyze things, he said.

Another British rider, Bradley Wiggins, was knocked out of the race after breaking his left collarbone in a crash that took down several riders. there are so many technical terms, its good to know it. I do know where things get hard, I know how long it takes exactly to climb that hill, and Im the type of guy that can overanalyze things so its best to just shut off my brain at times. This course I denitely know like the back of my hand, so hopefully that plays to my advantage as long as I dont start overthinking things. But when it comes to thinking, Dahlz feels like he was come a long way. I think Ive learned a lot over the years, he said. I like to think its more mental than physical because at this level everyone puts in the work, everyone puts in the hours, its really what your mindset is. I think thats what has held me back in years past is when things got tough. I would give up instead of ght and thats what separates the best guys in any sport. And its also taking some time to put things in perspective and not live and die with every race. I let it go basically. I think the mental athlete is often overlooked with triathletes. The Elite Series, set up by U.S.A Triathlon, is the premiere event for those looking to make the Olympic team. Dahlz keeps that dream alive, maybe not for 2012, but hopefully for 2016. For the time being, Dahlz will enjoy racing in his backyard as he keeps an eye on grad school and beyond. I dont think any triathlete would deny that it is a little crazy, he said, Its denitely a sport where you can get caught up and you kind of have to put your foot down and have a

The court vacated an April 25 decision by U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson that the lockout should be lifted because players were suffering irreparable harm. The appeals court had already put that order on hold and said in its ruling that Nelson ignored federal law in reaching her decision. While we respect the courts decision, todays ruling does not change our mutual recognition that this matter must be resolved through negotiation, the league and NFLPA said in a joint statement. We are committed to our current discussions and reachI dont think [people] know what I go through, said Hammer, who with wife Kim, are the two main organizers for the tournaments. You start in September. I send out 1,500 to 2,000 emails. Its more the satisfaction for it afterward (that is rewarding). Im not burned out, but to spend 10 months for a oneday event (is tough). Because of the events success, Hammer said it can be easier to go after big-name sponsors. He has the money hes raised as proof that sponsors will get the most bang for their buck. Now I send an email, I have proof of what we have done, Hammer said. Its a different ball game now, because Im a player. Because its a legitimate cause, [prospective sponsors will] read it a little more (carefully). Getting the most out of the experience is Hammers goal for the Have A Ball golf tournaments. While the main goal is to raise money for the ght against cancer, he also wants the golfers to have a good time. When he started this, he was just expecting some friends and friends of friends to come out to the golf course, hack around, maybe have a beer at the turn and just have an overall enjoyable experience. He never thought it would turn into what it has: Hammer expects the Sunnyvale event to raise nearly ing a fair agreement that will benet all parties for years to come, and allow for a full 2011 season. During negotiations Friday the rookie wage scale and nalizing the free agency rules were discussed, according to a person familiar with the talks who requested anonymity because details are not being announced publicly. Owners want to increase the number of unrestricted free agents on which they can exercise the right of rst refusal. Were going to break for the weekend, get back to work next week. We continue to work hard to get something done, Smith said. I know our fans want us to get something done as quickly as possible. The appeals court ruling allows the players antitrust lawsuit to move forward, but the court did take issue with the NFL Players Associations decision to decertify on March 11, a move that cleared the way for players to le their still-pending antitrust lawsuit against the league. The league and the players union were parties to a collective bargaining agreement for almost eighteen years prior to March 2011, the appeals court said in its 2-1 decision.
NEW YORK The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday threw out a judges order lifting the NFL lockout, handing the league a victory as players and owners spent another day negotiating. The ruling was issued shortly after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith opened a second straight day of labor talks at a law rm in Manhattan. The discussions lasted about nine hours before breaking up.
They were engaged in collective bargaining over terms and conditions of employment for approximately two years ... Then, on a single day, just hours before the CBAs expiration, the union discontinued collective bargaining and disclaimed its status .... Whatever the effect of the unions disclaimer on the leagues immunity from antitrust liability, the labor dispute did not suddenly disappear just because the players elected to pursue the dispute through antitrust litigation rather than collective bargaining. $300 experience for a $150 buy-in. Not a bad return on investment. And that was Hammers plan all along. He decided to put as much quality into the event to make sure the golfers want to come back the next year. He wants the golfers to wear the Have A Ball tournament T-shirt, the Have A Ball hat. He wants the stuff his tournament gives away to become part of the golfers wardrobe rotation and everyday life. I want that T-shirt to make the Tshirt drawer. I want that jacket to make it in the closet and not to Goodwill, Hammer said. Ive gone against the grain of what a nonprot really does (to raise and donate money). Im going to raise [$200,000] and spend [$40,000] (to produce the event). We put money into this to appease our clients. Normally, you go into a charity tournament, give a check for 300 bucks and get (bad-quality giveaways). I want to give these people something you want them afliated with. In addition to producing the Have A Ball events, Hammer leads a regular family life. He has a day job and coaches his 11-year-old daughters traveling softball team. Fairly mundane, everyday stuff, but when youre a testicular cancer survivor who is also a major contributor to the war on cancer, every day Hammer is having a ball.

to 19 other cancer charity organizations. He hopes to up his donations to two more organizations this year. The foundation maintains a close relationship with Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City, where Hammer rst spent time during his cancer battle and now where he sponsors ve oncology nursing scholarships in partnership with the U.C. San Francisco Nursing Program. He also helped open the Cancer Support Community Center in Mountain View, which opened its door last year. This year, he added Nike to his corporate sponsor roster as well as a second event. Sunnyvale Muni, which has served as the tournaments home course from the beginning, will welcome 300 golfers July 22. Hammer capped the number at 300 because the numbers just got too big to juggle. The rst year, 104 players participated. That will be followed by a September date at the Crow Canyon Country Club in San Ramon that already has 160 golfers signed up. It took Hammer a year and a half negotiating with the club to get the September date set.
The Hammer family: includes 8-year-old son Josh, left, wife Kim, Bob and 11-year-old daughter Shayna. Hammers foundation, Have A Ball, will surpass the $1 million mark in money raised for cancer charities.
$200,000 this year. After that rst year, someone said to me, How are you going to top this next year? Hammer said. I thought, Whoa. I didnt even think about next year. I thought it was one and done. Now, every hole has a sponsor, there are giveaways at nearly every hole. Water, beverages and food dot the course. Before a golfer even gets to their carts, there are tables set up where participating golfers pick up their free gear: T-shirts, hats, golf rain gear, quality duffel bags and various golf paraphernalia and knickknacks. With the greens fees, cart, lunch/dinner and giveaways, Hammer said golfer are getting a

WOLFSBURG, Germany The swift decision to submit the entire North Korea squad to anti-doping controls at the womens World Cup showed soccers commitment to the ght against drugs, FIFAs medical chief said Friday. Michel DHooghe told the Associated Press that FIFA anti-doping doctors were called up at short notice from across Germany to submit all North Korean players to tests after two returned positive samples during random controls earlier in the tournament. We really lived by the rules and it should improve our reputation, DHooghe said in a telephone interview. Defenders Song Jong Sun and Jong Pok Sim tested positive after North Koreas rst two group games and were suspended for Wednesdays match against Colombia that ended in a 0-0 draw. FIFA didnt identify the substance involved and said neither the players nor the team requested a B sample test within the 12hour deadline. FIFA said it requested such a test. Testing two isnt difcult, but 20 is a totally different story, DHooghe said. It took a big move since we had to practically get all our female testers from across the country to come to Bochum at short notice.
The two defenders were included in the starting lineup against Colombia but were taken off the list and provisionally suspended when the results of the drug tests came in shortly before kickoff. Hours after the tests, the North Korean team left Germany for home. The head of FIFAs medical committee said the two players testing positive raised suspicions that it could be a team initiative. That is why we took a look at all the players, he said. DHooghe said the results should be known in about a week and likely before the July 17 nal. He said he was aware that critics point to the low levels of positive tests in soccer as indicating that FIFA has been lenient on doping. It has never been the case, he said. Now we have a case and we are happy that it was detected. And, if necessary, we will be happy to have it sanctioned. The last doping case at the mens World Cup was Diego Maradona, who was kicked out of the 1994 World Cup in the United States after testing positive for stimulants. He was banned for 15 months. Last month, ve Mexico players tested positive for clenbuterol in pre-competition testing at the Gold Cup. Soccer ofcials allowed Mexico to replace the players. FIFA president Sepp Blatter said that contaminated meat was the cause. recent vulnerability, with the two-time World Cup champions losing four games since November after going unbeaten for more than two years. But Solo was the starter for only one of those defeats, and even Iker Casillas would have been hard-pressed to stop Lisa Dahlkvists penalty or Nilla Fischers deected free kick in the 2-1 loss to Sweden on Wednesday night. (Solo did come on for the second half of the 2-1 loss to England in April, her rst game back after the shoulder surgery that kept her out of World Cup qualifying, but England had already scored both its goals.) Including the two goals against Sweden, Solo has allowed just ve since the Olympic nal. Were so condent with her back there, Heather OReilly said. Its also nice to see the
WOLFSBURG, Germany Germany is towering over Japan in the Womens World Cup quarternals with a height advantage nearly as big as the home eld advantage. The sellout crowd of 26,000 will be cheering for the host team Saturday as the nation has done since the tournament started two weeks ago. And with its penchant for lethal headers, Germany should have a distinct advantage over the much smaller Japanese. The Asian side is renowned for passing combinations and quickness. But when England used a physical game in the last group game, Japan lost 2-0. Germany, too, is expected to step up with bold challenges. The winner will meet either Sweden or Australia in Frankfurt in the semifinal Wednesday. Germany has won its three group games and has improved after a hesitant start. Its breakthrough game was a 4-2 win over France, when coach Silvia Neid benched Germanys all-time World Cup star Birgit Prinz after two bad outings. Replacing anybody less would have been easy, but Prinz is the symbol of German soccer and the driving force behind its 2003 and 2007 World Cup wins. frustration on attackers faces when they think the balls in the back of net and shes able to get her ngertips on a shot that nobody else might be able to. Of course, Marta can do things nobody else can, either. She scored twice against Norway, and had a hand in two of Brazils three goals against Equatorial Guinea in Wednesdays nal group game. Despite being tightly defended, she made a low pinpoint cross into the center to set up a score by Cristiane, then won a penalty that Cristiane converted. Theres a rivalry, denitely, Solo said. We know each other, we respect one another, weve played on All-Star teams together. Yet we dont speak a lot which is the nature of the mystique of a goalkeeper against one of the top goal scorers in the world.
Once Neid did so, the team gelled, and played with abandon. There is no reason to change up front, since we scored four goals, Prinz said. She can count on a substitute appearance at most. The France win gave the team a boost because of the way we played, what we brought on stage, said Cecilia Okoyino Da Mbabi, who has two goals in the World Cup. It gave us the feeling and security that we nally found our touch. Prinzs replacement Inka Grings scored twice, one with a header. And 5-foot-9 Kerstin Garefrekes also has two headers on her scoring tally. In the last game, Germany had one player smaller than 5-foot-7, while Japan only had one player taller. But size doesnt matter that much, insisted Neid. They have great timing for the ball, she said. This will count, not their length. Japan has no choice but to plays its uent passing game. And why hesitate? It has improved to No. 4 in the world. We will play the Japanese way and we will be able to win, said coach Norio Sasaki. Da Mbabi was already taking lessons on how Germany overcame the skills of the French. Marta did get a goal off Solo in the WPS last year. So I hope I can score again on Sunday, she said. But theres more to this game than simply a Marta vs. Solo showdown. Brazil-U.S. has developed into one of the games great rivalries, with Brazil losing to the United States in the last two Olympic nals but knocking the Americans out of the World Cup in 2007. The U.S. beat Brazil in the 1999 seminals, then beat China for its second World Cup title. Its Brazil-U.S. Its a big game, Marta said. Its special. Notes: OReilly said the strained groin that kept her out of Wednesdays game against Sweden is 100 percent better and shell be ready to play Sunday.

Solo, tucked alongside the near post, leaned forward, thrust up her right arm and smacked the ball away. Amazing. Amazing, Shannon Boxx said, still in awe three years later. I just remember thinking, Oh my God, thats just going in. And then knowing Hope saved it. ... Im just glad shes on our side because teams that face us, they know shes the last person before the ball goes in the net. It gives us condence, and it probably puts a little bit of extra fear into the other team. Much has been made about the Americans

JUBA, South Sudan South Sudan became the worlds newest nation early Saturday, ofcially breaking away from Sudan after two civil wars over ve decades that cost the lives of millions. In the new countrys capital, Juba, streets pulsed with excitement. Residents danced, banged on jerry cans and chanted the name of the worlds newest president, Salva Kiir. One man kneeled and kissed the ground as a group ran through the streets singing We will never, never, never surrender. Ah, Im free, said Daniel Deng, a 27-year-old police ofcer and former soldier who broke out in a wide grin. The Republic of South Sudan earned independence at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, breaking Africas largest country in two. It marked the culmination of a January

independence vote, which was guaranteed in a 2005 peace deal that ended the most recent north-south war. After the celebrations die down, residents of South Sudan face an uphill climb. While the new country is oil-rich, it is one of the poorest and least-developed places on Earth. Unresolved problems between the south and its former foe to the north could mean new conict along the new international border, advocates and diplomats warn. Saturdays early morning celebrations were joyous for the freedom gained but tinged with the memories of family lost. At least 2 million people were killed in Sudans last civil war,
fought from 1983-2005. I came here for this moment, said Chol Allen, a 32-year-old minister who escaped Sudan in 2003 and eventually settled in Memphis, Tennessee. He returned to Juba two months ago for the midnight party, though he plans to go back to the U.S., where he has a 4-yearold daughter. We were all born into war. All of us, he said, then pointed at a crowded pickup truck of youngsters. This generation will see the hope of the newborn nation. John Kuach, a former child soldier who joined the army after his father died in ghting with the north, rst fought at age 15.
TEL AVIV, Israel Aided by Facebook, Israel on Friday prevented scores of pro-Palestinian activists from boarding Tel Aviv-bound flights in Europe, questioned dozens more upon arrival at its main airport and denied entry to 69, disrupting their attempts to reach the West Bank on a solidarity mission with the Palestinians. Israel had tracked the activists on
social media sites, compiled a blacklist of more than 300 names and asked airlines to keep those on the list off ights to Israel. On Friday, 310 of the activists who managed to land in Tel Aviv were detained for questioning, said Interior Ministry spokeswoman Sabine Hadad. Of those, four were immediately put on return ights and 65 were being held until ights home could be arranged for them, she said. The rest were permitted entry, she said. At one point during the operation, two planes from Geneva and Rome were
diverted to a secluded area of the airport upon landing and boarded by security. Organizers of the Welcome to Palestine campaign accused Israel of overreacting to what they said is a peaceful mission to draw attention to life under Israeli occupation, including travel restrictions. Israel controls all access to the West Bank. This was never about demonstrations at airports. We are on a fact-nding mission. We want to understand whats going on, said Pippa Bartolotti, a 57year-old British activist from Wales.

oday (or, if youre reading this on Sunday, yesterday), I turned 18. Its a unique birthday, one that marks the end of one part of my life and the beginning of the next after all, it is the age at which a person is rst legally considered to be an adult. It seems tting, then, that this is my last article for the student news column here at the Daily Journal. Throughout this past year, I have enjoyed the opportunity to share my thoughts on a variety of subjects, from my pet cause of promoting high school theater to my opinions on Twitter and movies based on books. I hope that, at some point, I wrote about something you found interesting and new, a unique perspective that made you think about feeding (or, as I suggested many months ago, starving) online trolls, about whether video games are art or about picking up a copy of that childrens book you loved so much but havent read since elementary school. I certainly appreciated the feedback I received over this past year, both positive and negative. To me, the chance to illuminate the issues in a new light is what makes journalism one of the most important parts of the modern world. Whether in print, on television or the radio or online, journalists are responsible for providing in various quantities news and perspective, facts and the context in which to consider them. And, though television and the Internet seem to have obscured the divisions between information and opinion and I have qualms about some of what is passed off as news, I like to think that there is still a great deal of nobility in the profession. Now, Im starting to go through the motions of becoming an adult. The other day, I looked over the paperwork I need to ll out to register for selective service. Ill be allowed to sign contracts, buy lottery tickets and talk on my phone while driving (dont worry, Ill use a headset). And, perhaps most importantly, Ill be registering to vote in plenty of time for the 2012 election. In a month and a half, Ill be heading off to the East Coast to set out on my next big experience college. I know Ill miss many of the things that made the rst 18 years of my life memorable (including but not limited to the many friends Ill be seeing much less frequently, the San Mateo High School theater program, and wearing shorts in winter), but I am also looking forward to the new opportunities that await me in the next four years. Although its too early by far for me to say with certainty what Ill be doing in any time frame beyond the near future (thank goodness I dont have to declare a major until the end of sophomore year), I like to think that Ill be putting my time and experience with the Daily Journal to good
When you go to a horror movie thats set in a mental institution, you know things arent going to turn out the way they initially seem. We are dealing with insane characters here, and the presumption that they provide an unreliable perspective creates a prime opportunity for lmmakers to mess with us, too, and challenge our own sense of perspective. Thats part of the deal its the implicit pact we make upon entering a movie like this. In theory, its supposed to be fun. And so its no big shocker that the women of The Ward may not be exactly who we thought they were. But ... who they end up being is so ludicrous, it might just make you angry, or at least cackle at the brazenness of it all. The big twist is just part of a stiff and articial script that even a horror master like John Carpenter because this is John Carpenters The Ward, after all cant overcome. The director of The Fog, The Thing, Christine and the original Halloween hasnt made a feature lm in over a decade, and while there is still clearly a sense of craft here and a few decent

LONDON Harry Potters saga is ending, but his magic spell remains. Thousands of fans from around the world massed in London Thursday for the premiere of the nal lm in the magical adventure series. They thronged Trafalgar Square, where the stars walked a rain-sodden red carpet, and nearby Leicester Square, where the movie was being shown in a plush movie theater, braving the inevitable London rain with umbrellas, waterproofs and good cheer. Sun broke out as cast members including leads Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint and Harrys creator J.K. Rowling began arriving on the red carpet, signing autographs and chatting with fans. Speaking from a stage erected in Trafalgar Square, 21-year-old Radcliffe, who has played the boy wizard since he was 11, told fans that Harrys story would never end. Each and every person, not just here in this square but around the world who have watched these lms for the last 10 years, they will always carry the lms with them for the rest of their lives, he said. Rowling wiped away tears as she
Its our childhood we made friends because of Harry Potter....I dont know how my life would be without it.I would be less imaginative,for sure,and less adventurous.I would never be here in London.
Luis Guilherme,a 22-year-old graduate student from Sao Paolo,Brazil
thanked the actors for the amazing things they did for my favorite characters. The fans, who chanted thank you as Rowling and the cast took the stage, came from around the world. Many had camped out overnight, some for days. Most were young adults who grew up with the boy wizard and his adventures, and could not pass up the chance to say goodbye. Its our childhood we made friends because of Harry Potter, said Luis Guilherme, a 22-year-old graduate student from Sao Paolo, Brazil. I dont know how my life would be without it. I would be less imaginative, for sure, and less adventurous. I would never be here in London. Wed never forgive ourselves if we didnt come, one last time. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 depicts Harrys nal confrontation with the forces of evil Lord Voldemort an epic showdown rendered, for the rst time in the series, in 3D.
The eighth and last lm in the made-in-Britain franchise was getting a lavish premiere, with huge screens and banners in Trafalgar Square and a nearby street transformed into the magical shopping thoroughfare Diagon Alley. No one, however, could magic away the London rain. Every single time its like this, said Zoey Lewis, 18. Some people say the Death Eaters (Voldemorts followers) make it rain. Lewis, a student from Brentwood, east of London, sheltered under an umbrella behind a handmade We Love Helena banner her tribute to Helena Bonham Carter, who plays bad witch Bellatrix Lestrange in the movies. I love Harry Potter, she said. Its been such a big part of my life. I dont know what Ill do without it. The feeling is shared by he lms stars, who like many of their fans grew up with the series.
LOS ANGELES If the young cast of the Harry Potter films received report cards for their school days at Hogwarts, theyd all probably earn the notation, plays well with others. Cast as impressionable children in Hollywoods biggest fantasy franchise, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and their many young co-stars have maneuvered through 11 years of fame and the temptations it brings without any whispers of Lindsay Lohan-style meltdowns that can derail child actors.
Theyve grown up smart, humble, polite and professional, eager to balance modest private lives with productive acting careers rather than leap into the party-till-dawn celebrity lifestyle. The actors and the headmasters of the Warner Bros. franchise say it wasnt magic that kept the kids on their best behavior. It was the luck of the draw when the youngsters were first cast, good parenting, mindful shepherding that resembled the rigors and care of the nest boarding schools, and a sheltered workplace outside of London, far from Hollywoods madding crowds.

Its very different doing it in England, said Radcliffe, who was 11 when cast in the title role as the boy wizard for 2001s Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone and turns 22 the week after the mid-July debut of the nal lm, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. In America, youre treated as an actor rst and a kid second. Here, youre very much treated as a kid rst and an actor second. In fact, youre not really treated as an actor. Youre treated as a kid on a lm set, which is how it should be, because thats all you are that point. No ones an actor at 12. And with the performers so young, their parents were instrumental in steering the children through busy working lives and the madness of instant celebrity. We couldnt have done it without the family support thats kept all three of them and the supporting cast all lovely, lovely people, said David Barron, a producer on most of the Harry Potter lms. Theyve got very strong families who kept them really strongly grounded. With tens of millions of Harry Potter fans to please and billions of dollars at stake, Warner Bros. went to great lengths to protect and nurture the stars through eight lms and a decade of hard work.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and other Potter locations were built at Leavesden Studios northwest of London, giving the lmmakers a controlled environment where they could work and essentially help raise their young charges. Its been a bit of a bubble, and its been very self-contained, and I think we just have good people around us, said Watson, who was 10 when cast as Hermione Granger and now is 21. Weve just been lucky that we havent been exploited in any way. Radcliffe, Watson, Grint and such costars as Tom Felton, Bonnie Wright, Evanna Lynch and Matthew Lewis had tutors on set, along with armies of studio publicists to help coach them through the media circus of almost-annual premieres and press junkets to promote each lm. The lmmakers say Leavesden became a kind of Hogwarts boarding school for the cast. It was a place that was just us, nobody else, said David Heyman, a producer on all of the Harry Potter lms. That has enabled us to sort of cocoon ourselves in an environment, in a way, that I think is a supportive and a safe one. To have children grow up in that kind of maelstrom of affection and general applause for everything they do, its not normal, and you can imagine it very easily could have ended in somebody going off the rails somewhere, producer Barron said. But they were never put under the microscope of the outside world whilst they were working. ... If ever they got a in the world. Harry Potter just seems to light up the world. The premiere marks the end of an era that began when the then-unknown Rowling published Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone in 1997. The book blossomed from well-reviewed childrens tale to global phenomenon, launching a seven-book series that has sold 450 million copies around the world. The last Harry Potter book appeared four years ago, and Rowling has said she does not plan more stories about the boy wizard. But she gave hope to fans awaiting new writing from her. She told the BBC that she hadnt wanted to publish a new book until the last movie was released. locked up in a remote ward with a handful of other young women (Mamie Gummer, Danielle Panabaker, Lyndsy Fonseca and Laura-Leigh). Theres a Girl, Interrupted vibe in their dynamic thats inescapable as they feel each other out rst with surly skepticism, but eventually with a clingy co-dependence as they come to realize they all need each other. (There are also shadings of One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest in the presence of a nurse whos cartoonishly cruel). But eventually, Kristens fellow patients get taken out one by one, of course by a creepy creature who lurks in the hallways at night. She looks vaguely young and female but is actually ... a ghost? A hideous, homicidal hag who just hasnt showered in a while?

Jason Isaacs, who plays villainous wizard Lucius Malfoy, said he was not surprised by the huge crowd in the square. The books are all about death and loss and mortality, so they are very emotional and they make people emotional, he said. You nd this wherever you go

LOS ANGELES Big Brother viewers watched as eight new contestants or houseguests, as theyre more commonly called on CBS voyeuristic reality series converged with three pairs of veteran players on Thursday nights 13th season premiere. Yet the audience didnt get to eavesdrop on everything that happened during the rst night of the summer-long competition. The edited hour-long premiere condensed what actually happened over the course of about six hours last Saturday when the 14 houseguests moved into the camera-lled house situated on a soundstage on the CBS Studio City lot. (The shows live Internet feeds dont broadcast what happens inside the house until after the show debuts.)
Movies where humans and animals converse are a bad idea in principle, and Kevin James Zookeeper is not here to prove that interspecies ensembles have simply been a misunderstood, underappreciated sub-genre. Zookeeper is as dumb as they come, the movie that finally allows Adam Sandler to lend annoying voice to a Capuchin monkey as it talks incessantly about inging poop around. This is a comedy whose lmmakers know what they want stupid gags and obnoxious slapstick and goes for it without restraint. James, who joins Sandler as one of the producers and also shares screenplay credit with four other writers, is dopily likable as the title guy able to commune with his critters. Yet his character and the other humans are so thinly drawn that a melancholy gorilla voiced by Nick Nolte shows more personality and comes off as the movies highest primate. A conscientious animal tender at the Boston zoo, James Grifn Keyes is a loser in human relations, still stinging over the way love-of-his-life Stephanie (Leslie Bibb) scorned his elaborate mar-
riage proposal ve years earlier. After Stephanie reappears in his life, Grifns old feelings return, and the lions and monkeys and bears that adore him take pity and break the code of the wild never talk to humans. They reveal that theyre able to speak in a variety of famous Hollywood players voices Cher, Nolte, Sylvester Stallone, Jon Favreau, Judd Apatow. And for good measure, Sandler as the monkey seems to be aiming for a screechy impersonation of Gilbert Gottfried, in case thats something youve been dying to hear. Fearful that their faithful zookeeper might y the coop for a cooler job to impress Stephanie, the animals coach Grifn in their own mating rituals to help him win her back. So we get to see James strutting and rolling around like a bear, urinating to mark his territory and otherwise behaving in ways that would make his romantic prey declare him a psychotic and seek a restraining order. Yet some of Grifns animal antics work their charms not only on Stephanie, but also, on gorgeous zoo veterinarian Kate (Rosario Dawson). The lmmakers at least should have given Dawson a pair of dorky glasses to explain why Grifn somehow failed to
rut after her all these years. Using live animals blended with computer effects, the lmmakers at least create a batch of furry creatures that should appeal to young children, who also may be the only ones able to tolerate the irritating voices of some of the beasties. Nolte wisely just talks like himself, and his gruff rumble sounds right for Bernie the gorilla, a noble, lonely ape in solitary connement because of a ruckus with a cruel zoo tender (Donnie Wahlberg, who must really like being around animals, because theres not much other reason for him to take on such a pathetic little role). A few laughs arise out of the weird friendship Grifn forges with Bernie, though their night out at T.G.I. Fridays drags on like a bad meal. As he did in Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Chuck and Larry, James hurls himself into this sad scenario with energy and teddy-bear charm that makes him impossible to hate. But its easy to hate Zookeeper. If we could talk to the animals, theyd probably hate it, too. Zookeeper, released by Sonys Columbia Pictures, is rated PG for some rude and suggestive humor, and language. Running time: 104 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
TEQUILA, Mexico Its said the national drink of Mexico has magical properties: It closes contracts and opens doors, makes shy people bold and helps form friendships. To the uninitiated, the wrong tequila consumed incorrectly also opens medicine chests. The rst thing one learns on a tour of the heart of Mexicos tequila country is that no one here drinks tequila as a shooter its better sipped from a brandy snifter or champagne glass so that the full sweet and buttery avors and aromas of the agave can come through. And the acionado would never drink anything other than a tequila made from 100 percent agave. Anything less, like the popular Jose Cuervo Gold, is a mixto that by law only has to contain 51 percent of alcohol distilled from agave. The rest could be any other sugary plant like the beet, which makes it potentially hangover-inducing. Tequila consumption has increased 45 percent in the U.S. over the past ve years. Its no wonder, then, that the country is waking up to the tourism power of tequila, the drink, and Tequila, the place the center of the farming region of the prickly Weber blue agave plants from which the spirit is distilled. Tequila is like wine, and those of us who get into it know our favorite tequilas in the same way that a wine lover would know why they like certain wines, said Rachel Nicholls-Bernyk, who travels here from Fresno, Calif., at least once a year. I enjoy learning something new about the language and the culture and the people, and of course, making tequila. The affair margarita-loving Americans are having with premium tequila has fueled a tourist boom here in the mountainous state of Jalisco, where tequila was born centuries ago in the town that shares its name. In this once-sleepy village hotels are being remodeled, new bed and breakfasts are opening, and the main drag is getting a cobblestone makeover. In April a slick new OXXO, Mexicos version of 7-11, became the rst chain store to open in downtown, a concession to the growing number of tequila-loving tourists who lack the adventure or language skills to navigate the quaint marketplaces and lively street food stands that thrive in the shadow of the historic stone cathedral in the city center. The town expects an even bigger tourist inux in October, when the Pan American Games will be held in nearby Guadalajara. The popularity of premium tequilas means increasingly varied travel options. Almost all tequilas are from in and around the state of Jalisco. Tequilas from the less touristy highlands near the towns of Arandas and Atontonilco about 65 miles east of Guadalajara are generally light and sweet. El Tesoro, Don Julio, Don Pilar and the highly regarded 7 Leguas are among those from the region, as well as market leader Patron. Of these, only 7 Leguas and Don Pilar have tours by appointment; the others cater to industry insiders.
KOREAN WRAPPING CLOTHS REINTERPRETED. Bojagi (Bo-Jahki), or traditional Korean wrapping cloths, were once used extensively in formal ceremonies and daily activities in Korea. Similar to American patchwork, traditional Bojagi were made from simple pieced cloths or papers, elaborately embroidered together. Bojagi was primarily a non-professional activity, engaged in by women in a folk art tradition. Bojagi, serving as alternatives to boxes and chests, stored and protected precious objects, clothing, bedding and food. Function determined the form and the result often created beautiful abstract patterns. San Franciscos Museum of Craft and Folk Art presents Wrapping Traditions: Korean Textiles Now, an exhibition of contemporary textiles featuring 65 works by international artists who are interpreting the traditional Korean textile Bojagi in innovative ways. Korean-born Guest Curator and ber artist Chunghie Lee said, Bojagitraditional Korean wrapping clothsis a centuries old Korean folk tradition of pieced textiles for everyday use or ceremonial purposes, handmade by women in the domestic realm to fulll a practical need along with an artistic impulse. In recent years, the technique has also gained attention outside Korea due to a resurgence of interest in the handmade and crafting as well the use of recycled materials, DIY and the politics of sustainability in textiles and contemporary art. This exhibition presents the work of 66 artists from Korea, the United States, England, Finland, the Netherlands, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Iceland and Japan. The work includes delicately pieced and hand stitched traditional Bojagi, wearable pieces, installations and wall hangings, all of which echo the larger world of art. This uniquely Korean folk art of anonymous ancestors has evolved into a contemporary art form embraced worldwide. The Museum of Craft and Folk Art is located at 51 Yerba Buena Lane. Museum hours are Wednesday-Saturday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Closed SundayTuesday). Admission is $5 for general public, $4 for seniors, (62 and over) and free for Museum of Craft and Folk Art members. The Museum of Craft and Folk Art is wheelchair accessible. For more

In the recent British comedy The Trip, Steve Coogan laments that he, as a comic actor, has never been given the chance to star in a costume drama. He improvises a pre-battle speech at the hearth: Gentlemen to bed. We rise tomorrow at 10ish. Ironclad would have served Coogans dreams perfectly, and, boy, could the lm have used his vitality. Cynically conjured as a kind of medieval 300, Ironclad is an utterly joyless exercise in blood and dirt. Its set amid the post-Magna Carta tumult of 1215 England, where King John (Paul Giamatti) is on a murderous rampage, out for vengeance on those who signed the famous charter. King John is attempting to reassert control over his country, which has moved to limit his power. In southeast England, a band of rebels endeavor to stop him at Rochester, where a gray monolith of a castle presides. Here the lm gathers its characters, and here it stops. Baron Albany (Brian Cox) is among the barons who have countered the cruel king by forcing him to sign the Magna Carta. With King John backed by Danish mercenaries, the barons, aided by the Knights Templar (the Catholic order of Crusade-ghting knights), opt to confront him before he gets to London. In Seven Samurai style, Albany collects a band of hardened warriors for the ght. Chief among them is the Templar Thomas Marshall (James Purefoy, who played Mark Antony in Rome), whose bloodlust has been much dimmed by the Crusades. Soon after we meet him, he abandons his vow of silence, but all the words he speaks in the lm come reluctantly and with foreboding for wars inhumanity.
President Gerald Ford and his wife Betty Ford read a petition,signed by all 100 members of the U.S. Senate, following the rst ladys breast cancer surgery at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Bethesda,Md.
Much of Ironcladis viewed through a contemporary lens,exaggerating the 13th-century battle cry of freedom and common law.
Inside the castle is the aging Reginald de Cornhill (Derek Jacobi), whos angered that his home should be turned into a battleeld for a cause he doesnt believe in. His young, frustrated wife, Lady Isabel (Kate Mara), provides one of the more forced intrusions of sexuality youll ever see in a lm that is 99.8 percent men and mud and 0.2 percent women. The rebels are outnumbered 1,000 to 20, a brave ratio that nevertheless falls well shy on the 300 Courage-O-Meter. (It was 300 vs. 1 million in 300.) In the ensuing ght, there is much blood-spilling. There is horse-eating and live pig-burning. There is beheading, behanding, befooting and even betonguing. Director Jonathan English, in his third feature lm following the likes of Minotaur, naturally uses a lot of handheld camerawork in monochrome shades to highlight the ugliness of the affair. With blond hair and a barbarian headband, Giamatti appears something like the less handsome medieval brother of Bjorn Borg. The most appealing draw of Ironclad is to see the ne actor in full tyrant ight. He does get a decent, furious speech in (I am the blood. I am Gods right-hand man.), but Giamatti is mostly left alone on the outside of the castle while the action swirls inside. If nothing else, hes now one of few actors to have played historical gures central to the Magna Carta and whats often considered its heirs, the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence (as John Adams).
Betty Ford said things that rst ladies just dont say, even today. And 1970s America loved her for it. According to Mrs. Ford, her young adult children probably had smoked marijuana and if she were their age, shed try it, too. She told 60 Minutes she wouldnt be surprised to learn that her youngest, 18-year-old Susan, was in a sexual relationship (an embarrassed Susan issued a denial). She mused that living together before marriage might be wise, thought women should be drafted into the military if men were, and spoke up unapologetically for abortion rights, taking a position contrary to the presidents. Having babies is a blessing, not a duty, Mrs. Ford said. The former rst lady, whose tri-
umph over drug and alcohol addiction became a beacon of hope for addicts and the inspiration for her Betty Ford Center in California, died at age 93, family friend Marty Allen said Friday. Details of her death and where she died were not immediately available, and Allen, chairman emeritus of the Ford Foundation, said he would not comment further until he received instruction from the family. She was a wonderful wife and mother; a great friend; and a courageous First Lady, former President George H.W. Bush said in a statement on Friday. No one confronted lifes struggles with more fortitude or honesty, and as a result, we all learned from the challenges she faced. While her husband served as president, Betty Fords comments werent the kind of genteel, innocuous talk expected from a rst lady, and a Republican one no less.

LAUNCH
Continued from page 1
the space shuttle Atlantis began to show. Despite earlier reports that there was a 70 percent chance the launch would not happen, Curoso had remained faithful. Its a rocket, he said energetically. How do you stop a rocket? Curoso was one of many of all ages who showed up to watch the event and learn how the Silicon Valley-based research center has helped with space exploration over the years. He had the choice of Great America or this, his mother, Christina Curoso, said. He chose this. Many people in attendance came simply to be closer to those who helped make the launch and further research possible. Donning his space commander outt, 5-year-old Lux Sparks-Pescovitz described watching the launch as the best part of my life. Sparks-Pescovitzs outt had clearly gotten lots of use as it was a bit short in the legs for the little one who was intrigued by every detail of the museum.
Fridays launch was the 135th shuttle mission, over 30 years after the rst ight. Among the four-person crew is San Carlos Rex Walheim. The 48-year-old was born the second youngest of ve children in Redwood City at Sequoia Hospital. The family lived briey in Belmont before moving to Detroit. The Walheims returned to California and settled in San Carlos in 1970 where Walheim considers home. Walheim graduated from San Carlos High School in 1980 before earning his bachelors of science degree in mechanical engineering from the University of California at Berkeley in 1984. He joined the ROTC while there. Walheim was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Air Force in May 1984, according to the NASA website. In April 1985, he was assigned to Cavalier Air Force Station in Cavalier, N.D. and later became an instructor at USAF Test Pilot School, where he served until he commenced astronaut training in 1996. This is his third space ight. The crew will deliver a years worth of critical supplies to the International Space Station and is scheduled to return July 20, after 12 days in orbit, with trash. Leinbach said that as Atlantis disappeared in the clouds, he and a friend in the control center put their arms around each other and said: Well never see that again. Inside the room, it seemed like we didnt want to leave, Leinbach said. It was like the end of a party, and you just dont want to go, you just want to hang around a little bit longer and relish our friends and what weve accomplished. So it was very special, lots of pats on the back today. The space shuttle was conceived even as the moon landings were under way, deemed essential for building a permanent space station. NASA brashly promised 50 ights a year in other words, routine trips into space and affordable service. Shuttle crews built the International Space Station, repaired several satellites in orbit and, in a feat that captured the publics imagination, xed the Hubble Space Telescopes blurry vision, enabling it to see deeper into the cosmos than ever before. But the program suffered two tragic year baseline also needs more analysis, Boesch wrote. New vehicle technology and improved life spans might warrant such a change in the future but Boesch proposes reviewing standards every three years to see if the policy should be modied. The twin responses are part of a formal response to the civil grand jurys April report on the countys vehicle purchase program. The reports carry no formal legal weight but recipients are required to respond in writing within 90 days. The Board of Supervisors will vote Tuesday to accept the recommended response and send it to the jury. The jury found that buying hybrid vehicles for its motor eet might help San Mateo County go green but isnt necessarily saving it money. The jury found there are conventionally powered compact and intermediate sized sedans Victor Joseph Sanchez near the downtown movie theater in Redwood City and was told he could earn his dots gang tattoos by attacking a rival Sureo. The trio spotted the 19-year-old victim walking alone near Winslow and Hamilton streets at approximately 10:17 p.m. and whistled a call specic to the Norteo gang. When the man, who isnt a gangmember, didnt response, the three attacked. The older teens, 18 and 19 respectively, kicked and beat the victim while Santos stabbed him several times with a knife in the torso, pelvic area and across his face and hands. The mans lung collapsed. Two witnesses called Redwood City

The shuttle is scheduled to land back on Earth on July 20 after 12 days in orbit, though the ight is likely to be extended to a 13th day. After Atlantis return, it will be lights out for the shuttle program. Thousands of workers will be laid off within days. The spaceship will become a museum piece like the two other surviving shuttles, Discovery and Endeavour. And NASA will leave the business of building and ying rockets to private companies while it turns its attention to sending humans to an asteroid by about 2025 and Mars a decade after that. It will be at least three years possibly ve or more before astronauts are launched again from U.S. soil.

at $3.25 per gallon, the price differences between hybrid and conventional green vehicles decreases. A January 2011 audit by the Controllers Ofce showed the seven-year differences at $2,331 for a Prius versus a Corolla and $2,805 for a Honda Civic Hybrid versus Honda Civic LX. The county is still performing other cost evaluations but Boesch recommends no changes to the current purchasing plan based on what the controllers audit uncovered. Another recommendation to adjust when the county retires a car rather than using a standard 100,000 miles or seven-

There is a good chance that, in coming months, you could end up being part of three different groups of friends for three different purposes or reasons. Each cluster will be involved in something fun that youll want to participate in. CaNCEr (June 21-July 22) -- Keep outsiders out of your personal affairs, especially those that concern your mate. Youd only make matters worse if you decide to talk things over with your cronies. lEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If they think they can get away with it, a few malingerers might look to palm off their duties and responsibilities on you. Theyd
like to make it look like your good work is theirs. VIrGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Dont make it one of those days where, every time you take a strong position, its one thats opposite to the popular view. If this is the case, keep your opinions to yourself. lIBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Regardless of how proud you are of an accomplishment, keep it to yourself. Someone who is jealous of you could try to get others to think of you as a mere braggart. SCOrPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It might be smarter to let an unflattering comment that someone says about you go unanswered. You could make matters worse if you decide to make it an issue that needs to be defended. SaGIttarIuS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Trying to shore up a relationship with material things may momentarily
work on the surface, but it will be without substance. Strengthen bonds with loving deeds of sincerity. CaPrICOrN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If both you and a partner use phony means to try to strengthen the arrangement you have with each other, it could end up being a case of the blind leading the blind. aQuarIuS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Only true humility is a virtue, while humbling yourself in an unbecoming manner produces nothing but a lack of respect. In reality, youll be much more respected by letting your ego emerge. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be careful what you say to a friend about someone whom you greatly dislike. If your remarks are uncomplimentary, your pal may think ill of you and lose all interest.
much you can accomplish and take on only what you believe you can finish. Anything you leave hanging might have to wait a long time to be completed. tauruS (April 20-May 20) -- Dont trust to memory any important information that youll need to know down the line. In fact, it might be smart to make written notes. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A friend might look to you to help him or her sort out a complicated affair that he or she finds insurmountable. Unless youve had experience in this kind of problem, dont offer any advice. Copyright 2011, United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
