San Mateo County ofcials may look at ways to curb local payday lending by either educating residents about their alleged pitfalls or placing limits on the businesses through zoning and permits. On Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors will consider a resolution committing the county to explore these alternatives and asking planning staff to follow through
on ways to prevent blight, overconcentration and other n e g a t i v e impacts, according to a report by Supervisor Rose Rose Jacobs Jacobs Gibson. Payday loans Gibson work by a client writing a check for the principal
plus a fee. The lender promises not to cash the check until the loan comes due which is typically the next payday. The customer can either return to the store to pay off the debt or allow the store to cash the check. Gibson, who is spearheading the effort, said payday lending establishments collect approximately $252,840 in fees per store, or approximately $6.1 million assessed on county residents annu-
ally from 24 outlets. Daly City and Pacifica have already banned or limited payday loans but Gibson said last month a complete prohibition is pointless without a viable alternative. In June, Gibson asked a legislative committee of the board to formally oppose a state bill to raise the maximum borrowing amount from $300 to $500. Gibson and other opponents have argued borrowers get trapped in a never-ending debt cycle and
compounded annual percentage rates of 459 percent. At the time of Jacobs Gibsons committee request, Greg Larsen, spokesman for California Financial Service Providers, disagreed with the argument and said payday lending gives consumers options rather than letting checks bounce or having utilities disconnected. The county could consider emu-

Officials in Burlingame and Hillsborough which share re services under Central County Fire along with Millbrae and San Bruno expressed interest in sharing services but wanted to test the system first. On Monday, the Burlingame City Council approved a test of the plan by merging administrative services as soon as October

and using a temporary station for one year. On Tuesday, the Millbrae and San Bruno city councils will have the chance to weigh in. Hillsboroughs next meeting will be Monday, Aug. 8. Conversations with labor groups will also be required to move forward. Discussions this spring relied on setting up a temporary station to test the program for about a year. Under the proposed timeline, an administrative merger would occur Oct. 1 allowing for the sharing of personnel and joint staff meetings. A temporary re station would open July 1, 2012 and work for a year.
Fashion titans set City clerks move to digital records for holiday battle
South San Francisco City Clerk Krista Martinelli uses the new copy machine to scan a records document.The new machine has the capability of emailing the scan to her, where she then inputs it into the Laserche computer program to archive city records.The copy machine takes the place of individual desktop scanners for every employee,which has helped keep the cost of the digitalization of records transition down.

City clerks in San Mateo County have scanned recent records and posted city council documents and videos online, so they spend less time digging through les and making copies. However, their records are by no means completely digital. They still maintain vaults and warehouses full of documents. South San Francisco City Clerk Krista Martinelli has dealt speci-
cally with records management issues as a former law clerk for the San Mateo County District Attorneys ofce. Electronic records and integrity has gone so far, she said. With larger populations and more documents, its going to make sense to go electronic with keeping records. Martinelli is using a program called Laserche to post city documents online, which is much cheaper than having an employee running back and forth to a warehouse with
les. However, she still maintains hard copies of all documents. To move completely digital in the future, her ofce will need to work with their information technology department to make sure it has storage capacity to expand the digital archives. You have to have the right system; redundant servers, backups, she said. Martinelli hopes her departments
Two retail giants in the fashion world are set to battle for the allegiance of holiday shoppers this year as they will both occupy a massive space at the Hillsdale Shopping Center in the old Mervyns building. Forever 21 and H&M will be separated only by the new Cheesecake Factory as Hillsdale moves forward on a massive 80,000-square-foot renovation of the southern end of
the shopping center. Set to open in November, the new Forever 21 will be 10 times bigger than its current outlet at the shopping center and at 52,000 square feet, will be the largest retail department store of its kind in San Mateo County. Los Angeles-based Forever 21 will showcase an incredible number of items, mostly geared toward

The allegedly intoxicated South San Francisco teen whose 17-yearold passenger died after his car crossed trafc and set off a multicar crash near Brisbane in February pleaded not guilty Friday on charges of gross vehicular manslaughter and drunk driving. Sean Danniel Quintero, 18, plead-
ed not guilty on all charges and asked to be released on his own recognizance, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said. Quintero was denied the release and remains in custody in lieu of $325,000 bail. A trial date was set for Jan. 17 with a pretrial hearing Nov. 4, said Wagstaffe. Quintero is charged in the death of Margaret Qaqish, a high school senior who would have turned 18
the following week. He faces up to 11 years in prison if convicted. On Feb. 5, Qaqish was in a car belonging to Quinteros mother, sitting in the middle of the rear seat, as they and two other teens drove back to South San Francisco after a night of reportedly heavy drinking in Daly City and San Francisco. At approximately 3:30 a.m., as the group loudly discussed what radio
station should play, Quintero drove at roughly 60 mph toward cars stopped for an unrelated accident. Unable to stop in time, Quintero reportedly veered to the right, crossing over two lanes of trafc and rear-ended a car that hit a third before stopping. No one was injured in those two vehicles but inside Quinteros car two of the passengers had minor injuries like bruising and
chest pain. Qaqish was thrown forward by the impact and knocked unconscious. Authorities have not said whether she was wearing a seat belt. She died at the hospital. The California Highway Patrol reported nding an open alcohol container in the car and Quinteros blood alcohol level 90 minutes later tested .15 and .16.

It is an odd paring; the 6-feet-7-inch John J.J. Johnson standing next to the considerably shorter 100-year-old Bernice Bea Malloy. The two have become friends since Johnson, who was a member of the 1979 NBA Champion Seattle Supersonics, moved into the Casa on the Peninsula/Glenwood Inn in Menlo Park six months ago after he suffered a stroke in January. While recovering, J.J., as he is known by sports fans and senior residents alike, has become enamored with Malloy. Shes lived through the ages, traveled the world and shes still a wonderful individual, dresses classy and carries herself with class, he said of the former Millbrae resident. It may be Johnsons time spent in rehabilitation that caused him to become so enthralled by the life and times of his new fellow resident who lived in Chicago during Al Capones infamous reign in the 1920s. Whether a new chapter in his life is just beginning or an old one is coming to a close, Johnson remains connected to the game which he loves and has treated him so well. Johnson moved to the Peninsula four years ago so he could be closer to his son Mitch, then a starting sophomore guard on the Stanford University basketball team, and enjoy a climate which was warmer than his current home just outside of Seattle. In many ways, Johnson is still a Seattle transplant with strong connections to the city. His son attended Seattles Bishop ODea High School and for a long time considered signing with the crosstown University of Washington Huskies. Johnson was even candid in shedding light on the possible dream scenario which now makes any Huskies fan ask what if? According to Johnson, Mitch originally had a verbal commitment with Washington in 2005 as part of a packaged deal with fellow Puget Sound standouts Martell Webster and Jonathan Brockman. The deal fell through when Webster decided to enter the NBA draft prompting Mitch to commit to Stanford. Washington coach Lorenzo Romar had already announced to the media that Webster was going to be the most talented freshman
A weekly look at the people who shape our community ever to enter the University of Washington and Brockman went on to become one of the teams all-time greatest players. Mitch Johnson ended up faring well on the farm but was literally and metaphorically overshadowed by teammates Brook and Robin Lopez. It was Mitch who suggested his father move to a living environment where his health could be monitored and even moved back to the West Coast from Latvia where he was playing professional basketball so that he could be closer to him. Now that he has been retired from basketball for almost three decades, J.J. still follows the NBA and is happy to share his thoughts when he stops in at one of his favorite Redwood City haunts. The NBA didnt realize that this was the best outcome that they could have, said Johnson of the Miami Heats recent loss to the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Championship Series. It gives everybody hope, this isnt how you win championships. He admits young stars such as Kevin Durant and Derrick Rose give basketball purists reasons to be hopeful, but believes that the NBA has lost its luster. Its awful tough, said Johnson eluding to the Supersonics 1980 NBA playoff run, When you got to go from Bob Lanier and you have [Kareem Abdul] Jabbar waiting for you in tinsel town. When he arrived in Seattle in 1977, his teammates were self-described underdogs in a city that was almost nonexistent to the world of professional sports. A ve-year run included two championship series appearances and one title. For the people of Seattle, the 1979 Sonics are the only true champions the city knows.
Former Seattle Supersonics star JohnJ.J.Johnson,with his new frien BerniceBeaMalloy outside the Casa on the Peninsula/Glenwood Inn in Menlo Park where they both live. Johnson arrived there after a stroke in January.
Johnson is still fond of the Emerald City, but has no interest in dramatizing what it was like to win a championship there. I would have been happy to win a championship in Tupelo, Miss., said Johnson, You dont be choosy where you win a national championship, you win one. Johnson is the rst player to combine the roles of point guard and forward into point forward, a position similar to the small forward position LeBron James now plays. Johnson has an extra reason to critique the media lightning-rods play on the court. People in the media have the ability to say that he is the best player of all time, he wasnt even the best player on the team, Johnson said, referring to Dwayne Wade. For Johnson, it is sacrilege to mention James in the same phrasing as proven NBA greats like his former teammates Gus Williams and Dennis Johnson let alone Michael Jordan. Nobody is going to win six or seven championships anymore, said Johnson of James vow to win more than seven NBA championships. They dont give NBA championships anymore, the sacrice is tremendous. Johnson was the rst player to be drafted by the expansion Cleveland Cavaliers in 1970 and has an extra reason to critique James decisions off the court. I think it was a joke, said Johnson regarding James Decision last summer to leave Cleveland for the Miami Heat. Maybe Im selsh because I was an original Cavalier, but I think he betrayed those people. Like many, the veteran ballplayer chalks up James perceived immaturity to the fact that he skipped college and surrounds himself with people who give him bad advice. The 63-year-old admits that as far as his own legacy is concerned, he was a star playing at a time of superstars and megastars. God blessed me with certain skills to score the basketball. I realized that I had to blend in with the team and that I could give what I could, he said. After his recent health episode, Johnson, who has also struggled with alcohol dependency in recent years, feels like he has the right perspective on basketball along with the things that are more important than games. Life is about ups and downs, its how you appreciate life, he said.

LOS ANGELES There are about 100,000 people in the U.S. who would tell you the hours you spend waiting in line at the DMV are not a waste of your life unless you fail to become an organ donor while youre there. As of this month, California requires all license and identification card applicants to answer yes or no on whether they want their license to bear the pink dot identifying them as a donor. The number of Americans who chose to donate is approaching 100 million, but because so few deaths leave organs in transplantable condition, less than 1 percent end up donating. Transplant and donor networks and more than 100,000 people waiting for organs hope putting the question more directly to drivers in the nations most populous
state will boost the rate of Californians willing to donate. Previously, applicants could simply ignore the question and still have their paperwork processed. In California, 28 percent of drivers chose to give up vital organs and tissues after death in 2010, well below the national average of 40 percent. Transplant donor groups began pushing for the change to the DMV application after noticing that drivers are far less likely to decide to donate their organs if they apply
for a license in person at the DMV office. Online, about 41 percent of renewal applicants agreed to be donors, compared to 34 percent of renewals by mail and 22 percent of license applicants at DMV offices. State Sen. Elaine Alquist, a Democrat from Santa Clara, took up the issue last year with a bill that sailed through the legislature unopposed. The adjustment to the forms is minor and doesnt change much for the department it just forces drivers to take the question seriously, said Department of Motor Vehicles spokesman Jaime Garza. Proponents hope to increase the number who sign up at offices by a few percentage points, from 25 to 27 percent, through the new law, said Bryan Stewart, a spokesman for OneLegacy, a Southern California donor network that that matches available organs to patients at 215 hospitals and 12
transplant centers. One of the reasons donation rates are lower in California might be the nature of the state itself, where a diverse and transient population makes residents feel less connected to their neighbors, Stewart said. Alaska and Montana, which dont draw outsiders to the same degree, have organ donation rates of 76 percent among adult drivers, he said. States that have the highest number of donors are states where people live there out of choice and their families have been there for generations, a whole bunch of people are English-speaking and understand the question being asked, and youre dealing with a general feeling of volunteerism, said Stewart. The focus on the DMV is key for transplant donor groups: though some enroll for organ donation through health fairs and online, roughly 98 percent of all donors in
the U.S. enroll when applying for licenses. There will always be those who are so harried by waiting at the DMV that they simply wont take the time to consider heavy afterlife decisions. Tyler Padayao recently answered no to the question on his Californias drivers license application, even though he has received a donated tendon that was surgically inserted into his knee. Padayao, 28, said he declined to donate because he didnt have time to consider the question thoroughly on the spot. Honestly, what you do is fill out the application first, so I rushed to fill it out and get in line, said Padayao, adding that he had to make it to a physical therapy appointment after the DMV. He hopes his implanted tendon will help him return to and advance a career in professional volleyball.
PORTLAND, Ore. Congressman David Wu, who earlier this year apologized for bizarre behavior during his most recent reelection campaign, was facing calls for his resignation on Saturday over yet another crisis a young womans reported accusation that she had an unwanted sexual encounter with the Democrat three weeks after his election victory in November. Wus spokesman, Erik Dorey, said
the seven-term Democrat had a telephone conversation on Saturday with H o u s e Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi about the allegation, which David Wu was rst reported by The Oregonian newspaper. Dorey would not comment on the substance of the conversation
An aide to Pelosi declined Saturday to comment on Wu. The allegation seemed to be boiling into yet another sex scandal confronting a member of Congress. It comes a month after Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., stepped down after getting caught sending suggestive pictures of himself on his Twitter account. Late Friday, the 56-year-old Wu issued a one-sentence statement about The Oregonians report: This is very serious, and I have absolutely
no desire to bring unwanted publicity, attention or stress to a young woman and her family. Pressure was building on Wu to publicly address the allegation. There were also calls for his resignation. Im saddened to hear this news. David owes the citizens he represents a detailed explanation, said State Rep. Brad Witt, who is running against Wu in the Democratic primary next spring. If this accusation proves to be true, its time for David Wu to resign and get the
help he needs. Another challenger of Wu in the Democratic primary, state Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian, said Saturday Wu should resign immediately. I think any 56-year-old man, especially a 56-year-old Congressman, that asserts himself like this on an 18year-old girl, has got no business serving in Congress, Avakian said at a news conference. There is nothing that can be explained that makes this situation right. Hes got to resign.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska Eskimo hunters on an island in the Bering Sea were offered not only cash but rearms, ammunition, marijuana, cigarettes and snow machines for walrus ivory tusks and polar bear hides that were illegally sold, according to federal prosecutors. When investigators totaled the take, the marine mammal peddling ring was responsible for the illegal sale and transport of approximately 230 pounds of walrus tusks valued at about $22,000 and two polar bear hides for $2,700, not to mention the tusks, skulls, teeth, jaw bones and other animal parts found in the home of the couple charged in the case. They
also sold machine guns. This case demonstrates that there is significant volume of illegally taken wildlife parts being transferred in violation of federal law, said Kevin Feldis, chief of the criminal division of the U.S. Attorneys Office in Anchorage. Unfortunately that world wildlife problem is an issue for Alaska. Federal law allows Indian, Aleut or Eskimos who reside in coastal Alaska to hunt and kill walrus and polar bears without a permit for subsistence purposes. But, they cant turn around and sell the animal parts to nonNatives. They can make money by turning the parts into a Native handicraft to be sold. In this case, the parts were sold to nonNatives in a raw or unaltered state. alleys, one on Linden Avenue (at the eastern end of Railroad Avenue) and the other on El Camino Real Brentwood Bowl. The Senior League bowlers rattle the bowling world with league names like: Just Do It, Hit and Miss, Pin Busters, 3 Amigos, Brizio, etc. The Linden Avenue Bayshore Bowl is closed. The Brentwood Bowl opened Sept. 7, 1951 and is still going strong. It advertised the latest telescores for scoring, electric pin sitters, no-glare lights along with a billiard room with 12 billiard tables, a lounge, a fountain, a spacious locker room and a nursery for the children. It now has a caf on the premises. Millbrae built their alleys on El Camino Real, by Millbrae Pancake House. In 1990, its roof caved in and it was never rebuilt. Apartments and condos are on the site now. Pacica has a bowling alley along Highway 1. Daly Citys Serra Bowl opened in 1962 along Junipero Serra. The Westlake Bowl opened in the 1950s, but is closed now.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the mens league at the alley. On Saturday evening, it was open bowling and I wouldnt get home many times until 2 a.m. or 3 a.m. On Sunday, tournaments would play most of the day. The pace around the alley was fast and constant. It was an exciting world with different personalities constantly coming and going. I got to know many of the players and eventually I would bowl when business was slow. In Daly City, there was bowling at Westlake Bowl on Northgate Avenue and Serra Bowl at Junipero Serra Boulevard. Westlake Bowl went out of business and a clothing store occupies the site. Daly Citys Serra Bowl opened in 1962 along the Junipero Serra. Classic Lanes on King Drive in Daly City built 60 lanes in 1985 and is stupendous. Louis Lesser would be proud of their facilities.

NEW YORK Hundreds of gay couples dressed in formal suits and striped trousers, gowns and T-shirts recited vows in emotion-choked voices and triumphantly hoisted their long-awaited marriage certicates on Sunday as New York became the sixth and largest state to recognize same-sex weddings. Couples began saying I do at midnight from Niagara Falls to Long Island, though New York City became the sometimes raucous center of action by daybreak Sunday as couples waited on a sweltering day for the chance to exchange vows at the city clerks ofce. Thousands of protesters rallied in several cities around the state, a signal that the long ght for recognition may not be over just yet. State Sen. Ruben Diaz, a minister who was the sole Democrat to vote against gay marriage when the Legislature approved it, told a crowd near the United Nations that he and other opponents would try to get Sundays marriages annulled, saying judges broke the law by
waiving the 24-hour waiting period without a good reason. Were going to show them next week that everything they did today was illegal, he said, speaking in Spanish. Today we start the battle! Today we start the war! But a party atmosphere reigned in the lobby of the Manhattan clerks ofce, with cheers and applause breaking out whenever a couple was handed their white-and-blue wedding certificate. Balloons floated overhead. One couple wore matching kilts; another wore sparkly crowns. Children scurried up and down the lobby; workers with bullhorns called out the numbers of each couple. Poignant signs of pent-up emotion were common from couples who had in some cases waited for years to wed. Couples cried and voices quavered. Newlywed Douglas Robinson exclaimed, You bet your life I do! when asked if he would take Michael Elsasser as his spouse. The first couple to marry in Manhattan were Phyllis Siegel, 77, and Connie Kopelov, 85, who have been together for 23 years. Kopelov

arrived in a wheelchair and stood with the assistance of a walker. During the service, Siegel wrapped her hand in Kopelovs hand and they both grasped the walker. Witnesses cheered and wiped
away tears after the two women vowed to honor and cherish each other as spouses and then kissed. I am breathless. I almost couldnt breathe, Siegel said after the ceremony. Its mind-boggling. The fact that its happening to us that we are nally legal and can do this like everyone else. Outside afterward, Siegel raised her arms exultantly as Kopelov, in the wheelchair, held out a marriage certicate. New Yorks adoption of legal same-sex marriage is viewed as a pivotal moment in the national gay rights movement and was expected to galvanize supporters and opponents alike. The state joined Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, along with Washington, D.C., when it voted last month to legalize gay marriage. Protest rallies were carried out in Manhattan, Buffalo, Rochester and Albany on Sunday afternoon. Gay marriage opponents unhappy that Gov. Andrew Cuomo and lawmakers legalized same-sex marriage last month are calling for a statewide referendum on the issue.
NEW YORK The maid accusing Dominique Strauss-Kahn of assaulting her in a Manhattan hotel room is speaking out publicly for the rst time. The accuser, Nassatou Diallo, had rejected media attempts to interview her since the story broke in May. But her photograph appears on the cover of the new issue of Newsweek, and ABC News says it will carry an exclusive broadcast interview with her on three of its programs on Monday. Diallos name had not been reported by major media outlets in the U.S., which generally protect the identities of people who say theyve been sexually assaulted. But her name had been reported by some French outlets.
The 32-yearold immigrant from Guinea alleges that the former head of the International Monetary Fund sexually assaulted her while she was working at a Dominique Strauss-Kahn Midtown hotel. Strauss-Kahn, widely seen as a potentially successful presidential candidate before the allegations, was pulled off a plane and arrested hours later. He has denied the charges. As the case garnered intense media coverage, questions arose about the accusers credibility. Prosecutors have said she lied to them about her life story and what she did in the moments after the encounter.
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas As music blared from Forum Roller Worlds loudspeakers, children skated and adults mingled at an 11-year-old Texas boys birthday party until his father suddenly pulled out a gun. Shouting at kids to leave the snack area, 35-year-old Tan Do opened re on his estranged wife and her family killing her, her teenage sister and three other adults before fatally shooting himself in a rampage that lasted just a few terrifying moments. Kids were having fun and all of a sudden: Bang! Bang! Bang! said Walt Hedrick, owner the Grand Prairie roller rink about 20 miles west of Dallas. It was out of the clear blue. ... I didnt know what was going on. Hedrick, who was about 40 feet away when the shooting began Saturday night, pushed some young-
sters down and ushered them and employees into an ofce to hide. There was nothing anyone could do, Hedrick said Sunday. Ofcers arrived quickly after the 7 p.m. shooting, ordering everyone to remain on the ground and shouting for someone to turn off the music. I didnt realize it was playing, Hedrick said. Police said Do, of Grand Prairie, and his wife were estranged after ongoing marital problems and may have argued before the shooting. A public records search showed no criminal record for Do. Police identied those killed as his wife Trini Do, 29, of Grand Prairie; her sisters Lynn Ta, 16, and Michelle Ta, 28; her brother, Hien Ta, 21; and her sister-in-law, Thuy Nguyen, 25. About 30 friends and relatives were attending the birthday party, some from out of town, and the rink
was closed to the public for the private party. The wounded were taken to hospitals Saturday night with nonlife-threatening injuries, but information about them was not being released Sunday. The couples 11-year-old son and their other child are safe and with other relatives, Detective John Brimmer said. Hedrick said he decided to re-open his business Sunday afternoon because, though shaken and mourning the loss of the victims, he knows the shooting was random. Roller skating for years and years has been the only place that an adult or parent would drop their little girl off on a Friday night and feel safe that we were going to take care of them, and thats exactly what we all do, Hedrick said. Im not going to run from this. Were going to be open and were going to be doing the same thing.

LONDON Some British mosques are boosting security after Norways horrific massacre was traced to a man who fears Muslims are taking over Europe an attack that exposed a failure to root out Islamophobia that has bled into the European mainInside stream. European gov Inside the ernment leaders mind of a killer Attacks were may even be feedmarketing effort ing fears of Islam See page 27 through measures such as bans on face veils on the streets, aimed at appeasing a non-Muslim majority wary about the continents rising Muslim population. Muslim leaders say its time for governments to wake up to the threat of anti-Islamic extremism and stop pandering to far right nationalist movements that have made inroads in politics from the Netherlands to Austria. European attitudes, though, are unlikely to change overnight.
Some British mosques are boosting security after Norways horric massacre Friday in which more than 85 people were killed.
People are looking over their shoulders and afraid that we will be the next target, said Mohammed Shafiq of the Ramadhan Foundation, one of Britains largest Muslim organizations. He spoke to the Associated Press in a telephone interview from the sidelines of an international gathering of Muslim scholars and leaders Sunday. As a result, weve told people to be extra vigilant and there will be added security placed at mosques. Mohammed Bechari, head of the European Islamic Conference, said that even though millions of
Europes Muslims were born here and have assimilated into societies that consider themselves open and tolerant, there is a rise in Islamophobia. Racism, anti-Muslim sentiments have become the norm. Hours after Norways terrorist attack Friday, a law went into effect in Belgium banning the Islamic face veil, for what authorities called security reasons. France, with western Europes largest Muslim population, has a similar law, and Switzerland has banned new mosque minarets. The wall of a mosque in the Russian town of Berezovsky was defaced overnight Friday with grafti reading Russia for Russians! according to the website Islamnews.ru. Muslim cemeteries in France are regularly vandalized. When news of Norways attacks rst emerged, suspicion immediately fell on Islamic extremists, responsible for some of Europes worst horrors in recent history. That the chief suspect turned out to be a blond man with antiMuslim, fundamentalist Christian
views caught many off guard and exposed a knee-jerk Islamophobia that puts Europes leaders in a new bind. Islamic terrorism is a real threat to Europe. Islamophobia channeled by extreme right groups may be a graver threat than many had estimated. Governments must try to stamp out both, while persuading their populations that Muslims as a whole are not a menace to Europes future. Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik is accused of two attacks Friday, one outside government headquarters in Oslo that killed seven, and a shooting spree on nearby island that killed 86. A manifesto he published online the day of the attack ranted against Muslim immigration to Europe and vowed revenge. Hatred of others, hatred of those who look different, of the supposedly foreign this hatred is our common enemy, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Saturday. All of us who believe in freedom, respect and peaceful coexistence. We all must confront this hatred. packed with explosives blew himself up outside an army camp in Yemens coastal city of Aden on Sunday, killing at least eight soldiers and wounding dozens, security ofcials said. The ofcials said the blast took place near the gate of the camp as a column of vehicles loaded with troops and supplies was preparing to leave for nearby Abyan province to take part in fighting against alQaida-linked militants.

NKorean ofcial to go to US for nuclear talks
BALI, Indonesia A senior North Korean ofcial will visit the United States this week to discuss the possible resumption of longstalled international negotiations on ending Pyongyangs nuclear programs, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday. The news that diplomats could be close to reviving six-nation disarmament talks that broke off in 2008 comes after more than a year of animosity and high tension between the rival Koreas and raises hopes in a region on edge. Two attacks Seoul blames on Pyongyang last year killed 50 South Koreans and led to threats of war.
DOLO, Somalia Somalias famine will be ve times worse by Christmas unless the international community increases its food aid, Australias foreign minister said Sunday during a visit to Somalia, even as the international Red Cross distributed 400 tons of food into hard-to-reach areas of southern Somalia. Kevin Rudd was in Somalias
famine-struck area of Dolo to appeal to the world to help avoid a catastrophe. During his visit hundreds of women with small children in tow massed around a World Food Program sign-up table in hopes of qualifying for food aid. Rudd talked with internal refugees who have had little to eat in recent days. World Food Programs Executive Director Josette Sheeran said Sunday the program will open new feeding sites in and around Dolo by
the end of the week. She said it is critical that WFP gets new funding to ght the three-pronged catastrophe of drought, conict and high food prices. WFP estimates more than 11.3 million people need aid across drought-hit regions in East Africa. The U.S. last week announced it was giving an additional $28 million in emergency funding on top of the $431 million in assistance already given this year.
JERUSALEM A tiny golden bell pulled after 2,000 years from an ancient sewer beneath the Old City of Jerusalem was shown Sunday by Israeli archaeologists, who hailed it as a rare nd. The orb half an inch (one centimeter) in diameter has a small loop
that appears to have been used to sew it as an ornament onto the clothes of a wealthy resident of the city two millennia ago, archaeologists said. When Eli Shukron of the Israel Antiquities Authority shook it Sunday, the faint metallic sound was something between a clink and a rattle. The bells owner likely walked
in the street, and somehow the golden bell fell from his garment into the drainage channel, Shukron said. The relic was found last week. Shukron said it was the only such bell to be found in Jerusalem from the Second Temple period, and as such was a very rare nd. The Second Temple stood from about 515 B.C. until A.D. 70.

Duncan is upset that Congress has not acted to update the law, and we understand his pique. But granting waivers so that kids can continue to be shuttled through school without achieving the higher standards that the current law calls for is not doing the young people of this nation any favor. Indeed, it would be a disservice to them. The schools need a wake-up call, and nows the time for that bell to ring.

ane Baker, who died July 1, served 20 years on the San Mateo City Council. She was the rst woman mayor and the longest serving councilmember. During her tenure, 1973-1993, San Mateo changed from a bedroom community to a suburban city. Baker was elected to the council following a successful grassroots effort to curb development on Sugarloaf mountain. By the time she left, height limits and urbanization were the major concerns. Jane was responsible for the rst successful grassroots antidevelopment campaign in San Mateo. Before then, San Mateos civic leaders were all men (except for the rst female councilmember, Marian Hemingway) and most, if not all, progrowth. Business was often conducted at the Elks Club across the street from City Hall. It was an old boys network. Residents werent well organized into homeowners associations. And the then San Mateo Times City Hall reporter, Vera Graham, sat on the dais with the councilmembers and was rarely critical of their doings. When Jane Baker was elected to the City Council, things began to gradually change. Buoyed by their success in keeping open space at Sugarloaf, residents beefed up neighborhood associations and showed up at City Hall regularly. In 1991, an initiative was passed to limit height limits downtown. Citizen participation in government was at an all-time high. When Baker rst joined the council in 73, she had few allies. The all-male council included Jack Murray, John Condon, Hugh Wayne and Jim Chalmers (all are deceased except for Chalmers). In 1975, she was joined by a supporter, Floyd Welch. Welch died in 1977. Jose Villla Lobos was appointed to take his place. In 1979, Bakers good friend, Donna Richardson, was elected and Jane had more allies. In 81, Florence Rhoads who had been a member of the citys Park and Recreation Commission was elected. While Florence and Jane were both active in the American Association of University Women and both lived in the Hillsdale neighborhood, Rhoads was much more friendly to the citys business community. Yet women were in the majority for the rst time. Aron Hoffman was also elected to the council that year. Jane also served with Jane Powell (83), Paul Gumbinger (85), Tom Mack (87), Jerry Hill and Claire Mack (91). When the height limit initiative was passed two of its proponents, Hill and Mack, joined Baker on the council. Tom Mack and Powell were out. In 1993, Jane decided not to run for re-election. Voters had approved 12-year term limits. *** I rst met Jane in the late 1950s when we both lived on Sunset Terrace in the San Mateo hills, the last street in a Bohannon tract. Cows roamed in the grasslands above. Sunset Terrace extended from 28th to 31st avenues, a long stretch in a hilly area. Perfect for children to play and ride bikes. The wives were stayat-home moms. We drank coffee and talked about menus and children. Some of the residents at the time included, besides Jane and myself, Bob Braun, who would become a San Mateo elementary school trustee; Jeanne Hopper, a Hillsborough school trustee; and Jane and Jesse Jackson of Kendall-Jackson fame. At the time, who knew that Baker and I would work together on civic issues beginning in 1973 when she joined the council and I the elementary school board. However, the most famous people on the block were Kay and Bill Whitney. They were the ideal family. We all looked to Kay for advice on raising kids. My husband would marvel at how the Whitney boys were always mowing the lawn and doing chores. Bill could x about anything. Talk about the Cleavers. We had Kay and Bill and their four model children, two boys and two girls. My eldest son was best friends with their youngest, John, who went on to become a priest. Bill Whitney was an FBI agent, as was Janes husband. The Bakers moved to Laurelwood, part of an area of development behind Sunset Terrace which extended past the College of San Mateo. Those peaceful days of cows in the hills were soon replaced by eld mice in the house. There were no homeowners associations to complain and the development went on without a murmur. There was little place to build in San Mateo except the hills. And families needed larger homes than the three-bedroom, one-bath homes on Sunset Terrace. After our second child was born, we moved, too. Today, many families have added on. Much cheaper than moving. *** The Jane Baker years saw a dynamic change in San Mateo. She inspired more women and more citizens to become involved. And she raised the bar for what it takes to be an outstanding councilmember. *** Norma Gomez, San Mateos award-winning city clerk will be retiring in November after 25 years of service. Her administrative skills have kept councilmembers on track. Her beautiful smile and sunny disposition are a xture at City Hall. She will be very much missed.

WASHINGTON With bipartisan debt-limit talks deadlocked, House Republicans and Senate Democrats readied rival emergency fallback plans Sunday in hopes of reassuring world nancial markets the U.S. government will avoid an unprecedented default. In a conference call, Speaker John Boehner summoned his conservative rank and le to swing behind a new measure that could clear both houses of Congress. It wont be Cut, Cap and Balance as we passed it, he said, referring to a measure killed in the Senate on Friday that would have required spending cuts of an estimated $6 trillion as well as congressional approval of a constitutional balanced budget amendment for ratication by the states. The new approach is going to require some of you to make some sacrices, he added, according to a person familiar with his remarks. Separately, President Barack Obama invited the two top congressional Democrats to a highly unusual White House meeting Sunday evening.
One of them, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, was at work on a Democratic fallback measure, too. Without congressional action by Aug. 2, the Treasury will be unable to pay all its bills, risking a default that could have severe consequences for the U.S. economy and the worlds, too. Details of the rival plans were sketchy. Republican officials said Boehner envisioned an increase in the nations debt limit by $1 trillion and slightly more than that in federal spending cuts, with the promise of additional progress on both sides of the ledger if Congress could agree. Democratic ofcials said Reid was at work on legislation to raise the governments debt limit by $2.4 trillion enough to assure no recurrence of the current crisis until 2013 and reduce spending by slightly more. They said that plan envisioned no higher taxes. Administration ofcials have stopped just short of promising to veto the approach Boehner outlined. Obama has also said for months any bill must include higher revenue. The White House was largely con-
signed to a spectators role on a weekend that began with Boehners decision to call off talks with Obama. But the president in the early evening began talks with Reid, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Joe Biden in the Oval Ofce. Asked earlier what the administrations plan was to avoid default, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said, Our plan is to get Congress to raise the debt ceiling on time. The state of play veered between bipartisanship and brinkmanship on an issue of immense economic consequences. Despite hours of compromise talks in the Capitol, lawmakers aides had so far been unable to agree on a two-step plan that would satisfy Obamas demand for a large enough increase in the debt limit to tide the Treasury over until after the 2012 elections. Interviewed on Fox, Boehner said, I would prefer to have a bipartisan approach to solve this problem. If that is not possible, I and my Republican colleagues in the House are prepared to move on our own.
The cost of prescription medicines used by millions of people every day is about to plummet. The next 14 months will bring generic versions of seven of the worlds 20 bestselling drugs, including the top two: cholesterol fighter Lipitor and blood thinner Plavix. The magnitude of this wave of expiring drugs patents is unprecedented. Between now and 2016, blockbusters with about $255 billion in global annual sales are set to go off patent, notes EvaluatePharma Ltd., a London research rm. Generic competition will decimate sales of the brand-name drugs and slash
the cost to patients and companies that provide health benets. Top drugs getting generic competition by September 2012 are taken by millions every day: Lipitor alone is taken by about 4.3 million Americans and Plavix by 1.4 million. Generic versions of bigselling drugs for blood pressure, asthma, diabetes, depression, high triglycerides, HIV and bipolar disorder also are coming by then. The ood of generics will continue for the next decade or so, as about 120 brand-name prescription drugs lose market exclusivity, according to prescription benefit manager Medco Health Solutions Inc. My estimation is at least 15 percent
of the population is currently using one of the drugs whose patents will expire in 2011 or 2012, says Joel Owerbach, chief pharmacy ofcer for Excellus Blue Cross Blue Shield, which serves most of upstate New York. Those patients, along with businesses and taxpayers who help pay for prescription drugs through corporate and government prescription plans, collectively will save a small fortune. Thats because generic drugs typically cost 20 percent to 80 percent less than the brand names. Doctors hope the lower prices will signicantly reduce the number of people jeopardizing their health because they cant afford medicines they need.
WASHINGTON The FBI is just cranking up a preliminary review of whether alleged phone hacking and bribery by Rupert Murdochs media empire violated U.S. laws, but any resolution may well have to await the outcome of British investigations. The FBIs early fact-gathering could turn into a long saga that tests or reinforces the long-standing cooperation between U.S. and British law enforcement. Most of the records and witnesses to prove or disprove the allegations are in the hands of British investigators. The problem for Murdoch is that his business, not just his now-shuttered British tabloid News of the World, faces investigations on two continents. That includes a nascent FBI probe. Depending upon what turns up, it could head in unexpected directions, perhaps threatening other Murdoch properties, which include the Fox television network. News Corp., Murdochs New York-headquartered parent company, is assembling a gold-plated roster of lawyers to deal with any U.S. legal action. According to published reports, the company has signed up Brendan Sullivan, the high-priced Washington criminal defense attorney, and Mark Mendelsohn, an acknowledged expert on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Sullivan is famous for defending Oliver North against IranContra scandal charges and Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, against corruption counts. Mendelsohn ran the Justice Department unit that enforced the anti-foreign-bribery statute from 2005 to 2010.

NEW YORK A vote on a settlement to the lockout is what every NFL fan wants. Nobody is sure when that might happen. The players executive committee will meet Monday in Washington after lawyers have worked through the weekend on issues that are holding up an agreement with the owners. Several people with knowledge of the meeting have told the
Associated Press that no vote to recommend a deal is certain Monday. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the players association has not revealed its plans. Owners approved a tentative agreement to end the four-month lockout on Thursday. But the players said they need more information
before they can vote, and took issue with portions of the proposal. Several players only saw that full proposal late Saturday. Should the players executive committee vote to accept the deal, it then would go to the 32 team representatives to approve. After that, some 1,900 players would need to vote, with a simple majority required for passage. The 10 named plaintiffs in the players lawsuit against the league including Tom Brady, Peyton
Manning and Drew Brees must officially inform the court in Minneapolis of their approval of the pact, too. Players also will need to vote to re-establish the NFLPA as a union; only after that happens could a full collective bargaining agreement be reached. But training camps and preseason games could occur while the sides put the nishing touches on a deal. Only after the NFLPA is again a union can it negotiate such items as
the leagues personal conduct policy and drug testing. But a person with knowledge of the executive committee meeting said it will be to understand where things stand after this weekends conversations. No talk of not voting, no talk of vote. Team facilities would open two days after the executive committee authorizes the deal, which would be Wednesday if a vote comes
PARIS Cadel Evans has been keeping fans back home up all night watching him become the rst Australian to win the Tour de France. Its a victory thats been a long time coming. Over the years, Evans has been better known for failing to live up to expectations than for overachieving. He nished second in the 2007 Tour and was expected to win the next year, but was runner-up again. Last year, he was leading the race but crashed and fractured his left elbow. The pain was too much and he dropped out of contention in tears, ultimately nishing 50 minutes behind winner Alberto Contador. This time, persistence, planning and a little good luck paid off. I hope I brought a great deal of joy to my countrymen, my country, Evans said Sunday after climbing onto the winners podium on the Champs-Elysees. Its been a pleasure and an honor to y the ag over here. The 34-year-old Evans, the oldest champion since before World War II, stood on the podium wrapped in his national ag, his eyes tearing up as he listened to the Australian national anthem. He then embraced Andy and Frank Schleck. The brothers from Luxembourg had pushed him all the way to the end, but were nally defeated by his solo strength in Saturdays race against the clock. On the traditional Tour victory lap on Paris Champs-Elysees, champagne in hand, Evans seemed to stop to celebrate with just about every fan bearing an Australian ag. As he clambered into his BMC team bus, hundreds of people shouted praise, one yelling, Cadel, we love you! and others

WASHINGTON Baseball star Roger Clemens battle against perjury charges likely is far from over and probably will be the subject of a second trial, according to many legal experts. Clemens would have to convince the judge that prosecutors intentionally provoked him into asking for a mistrial by showing jurors evidence that had been ruled inadmissible because the government suspected it was losing, the experts said. But the experts point out that theres no indication prosecutors would have wanted to start their case over so soon after it started because they only had spent a few hours presenting evidence to the jury. Still, U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton is considering the possibility that putting Clemens on
trial again would subject him to double jeopardy. Walton, who declared a mistrial on July 14, has ordered both sides to submit their arguments in writing and has scheduled a Sept. 2 hearing. Attorneys and scholars Roger Clemens who have reviewed case transcripts provided by the Associated Press say a second trial seems likely under rules established by the Supreme Court. It is one thing when something like this happens three weeks into a month-long trial where the defense has poked big holes in the governments case and effectively crossed main witnesses, said Andrew Wise, a white-collar attorney with the Washington firm Miller &
Chevalier. But when you are on day two of a month-long trial, it is harder to argue that the government was throwing in the towel and goading the defense into seeking a mistrial so they could have a fresh start. Protection against double jeopardy is guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, which says in part, nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb. The Supreme Court has ruled that a defendant is considered to be in jeopardy once a jury is sworn in, so Clemens had been in jeopardy for just over one day. But the question is whether the jeopardy ended with Waltons declaration of a mistrial. At least one prominent expert disagrees with
NEW YORK For just an instant, when the ball came off David DeJesus bat, the Oakland Athletics had visions of nishing off a rare comeback against Mariano Rivera at Yankee Stadium. Then suddenly game-ending double play. In the end, nothing ever seems to go right for Oakland on the road. Or against the Yankees, for that matter. DeJesus lined into a rally-killing double play when pinch-runner Ryan Sweeney got trapped off rst base, and New York held on to beat the Athletics 7-5 Sunday. Obviously deflating, interim manager Bob Melvin said. Hideki Matsuis fth hit, which matched a career high, loaded the bases with one out in the ninth inning. Josh Willingham cut it to 75 with an RBI single, the only run Rivera has allowed at home this season. DeJesus then hit a liner to rst baseman Mark Teixeira, and Sweeney broke immediately for second. He had no chance to get back before Teixeira stepped on the bag. My run doesnt mean anything. I just kind of got overanxious. I didnt even realize he was playing on the line, Sweeney said. The 41-year-old Rivera earned his 116th career save of more than one inning, but rst this year. He reached 25 saves for the 15th consecutive season, extending his major league record. Id be surprised if someone could outdo that, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Bartolo Colon pitched seven effective innings to end a three-start skid and Curtis Granderson had a two-run homer for the Yankees. Eduardo Nunez hit a two-run double and catcher Russell Martin was in the middle of everything all afternoon. New York chased All-Star Gio Gonzalez and returned to its winning ways against the As when Rivera staved off a ninth-inning uprising with a touch of good for-

TOUR
Continued from page 11
chanting Aussie, Aussie, Aussie Oy, Oy, Oy! This was a very different Tour from the ones of the recent past that have been dominated by a single rider Lance Armstrong or Contador. At least seven riders could have won it with only a few days remaining. Contador, who is ghting a legal battle to hold on to last years victory after a positive drug test, faded away in the nal stages and nished fth. On Sundays largely ceremonial ride to Paris, Contador smiled and chatted with Evans, even patting the Australian on the back. Afterward, the three-time Tour champion said he told Evans he was the strongest rider, and its normal that he won. Evans nal margin of victory over Andy Schleck was 1 minute, 34 seconds, but all of that was achieved in Saturdays time trial. Evans hadnt panicked when Andy Schleck had jumped ahead on the climb of the Galibier pass on Thursday and then took the overall lead in Fridays last mountain stage. Evans wife, Chiara, did. She was consumed with emotion at times unable to bear the suspense when he needed to make up 57 seconds in the time trial to wrest the coveted yellow jersey from the younger Schleck brother. You dont want to know. I was really, really bad. Crying and everything, and calling everyone How many seconds? she said. With his victory, she said, I want to let the moment sink in. Cadel needs some rest. I need some rest too! Hes only the third non-European to win the Tour since it started in 1903. American Greg LeMond broke the European domination in 1986, with the rst of his three wins, and his fellow American Lance Armstrong won seven straight beginning in 1999. The Tour was also notable for the hard work of Thomas Voeckler, who deed all predictions to wear the yellow jersey as race leader for 10 days, delighting the victory-starved French, and for the success of British rider Mark Cavendish, who captured ve stages including Sundays nal one and won the green jersey of top sprinter. In a race often marred in the past by doping allegations, only one rider has so far tested positive Alexandr Kolobnev of Russia although many of the doping tests done this year have yet to be analyzed. Contadors positive test last year only came out after the race nished. Evans has never faced doping allegations, and his longtime coach Aldo Sassi was known to be opposed to doping. Some have suggested that may be why until now he hasnt been able to achieve his promise, though Evans wont discuss that possibility. When you look at the race, its obvious that we dont have the same feeling like in the past, when riders were sometimes supermen, Michel Rieu, scientic adviser of the French antidoping agency AFLD, told The Associated Press. Most of the riders suffered a lot, you could see it on their faces, and they didnt give the impression of riding scooters instead of bikes.

the chorus of his colleagues who are predicting a second trial. Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz said theres no innocent explanation for why prosecutors put inadmissible evidence in front of the jury. The government constantly does this because they think they can get away with it, Dershowitz said. When you are preparing a case for so long, you dont make errors like this. I have a high level of condence that a good lawyer could keep this case from being retried.

side trip. It is going to be an honor, Bochy said. When were there, well think about why were there. We get the chance to meet the President. Madison Its going to be a Bumgarner fun trip. After we see the President well jump on a train, like the old days, and go on to Philly. Mike Fontenot and Jeff Keppinger each drove in runs for the Giants, who have won seven of 10 games since the All-Star break. Aubrey Huff had three hits and Brandon Belt added two hits. Ryan Braun homered for the Brewers, who lost for the third time in four games. Prince Fielder and Corey Hart each had two hits. Theyre a scrappy bunch of guys; they battle really well, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. Like their record shows, they get in tight ballgames and they seem to come out ahead. Bumgarner (6-9) won his third straight decision after allowing a run on eight hits over 7 2-3 innings. He struck out eight and did not walk a batter. Sergio Romo got one out and Brian Wilson pitched the ninth for his 31st save. He gives up the home run and then regroups, Bochy said. Its a great sign that he didnt get ustered. That was an impressive outing. Yovani Gallardo (11-7) lasted seven innings, allowing two runs on six hits. He walked one and struck out ve. He threw the ball great, Roenicke said. When you score one, youre not going to beat them. We had some guys on base, we had chances. We just need to get a couple big hits when we get those guys out there. The Giants improved to 27-13 in one-run games and recorded their major-league leading 29th comeback victory. Braun hit his fourth home run over his last five games to give the Brewers a 1-0 lead with two outs in the rst. Bumgarner allowed his rst home run in eight starts, and his fth overall. Bumgarners one-out double, which ended his 0-for-15 streak, in the third set up the tying run. He scored on Keppingers single. Josh Wilson, sans sunglasses, lost a pop up in the sun that allowed Huff to reach base leading off the fourth. Nate Schierholtz forced him at second but Belt followed with a hit-andrun single. Fontenot followed with a sacrice y to make it 2-1. I usually dont like wearing them. It darkens the ball, Wilson said. In hindsight, I probably should have had them on. It didnt get into the sun

SAN FRANCISCO Madison Bumgarner was more animated about a day at the White House than he was about his third straight decision. Bumgarner will certainly enjoy his day in Washington after pitching into the eighth inning, helping the San Francisco Giants survive another one-run game, a 2-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. I just go out and pitch, said the 21-year-old, who owns a World Series ring. I just felt like I did a good job of just making pitches. Bumgarner and the Giants will be guests of President Barack Obama at the White House on Monday before beginning a series in Philadelphia the next day. It will be fun to see that place, Bumgarner said. Giants manager Bruce Bochy was slightly more effusive about the
until late. I had it probably until it was less than 20 feet above my head and thats when it nally went in the sun. Bumgarner retired 12 of 14 batters at one point. He gave way to Sergio Romo with two outs and a runner on in the eighth. Gallardo, who threw eight shutout innings against the Giants on May 29 in Milwaukee, has not won two in a row since his six-game winning streak ended June 9. Hes 3-5 over his last nine starts. NOTES: Bumgarner has walked two or fewer batters in each of his last 19 starts, the longest stretch since Juan Marichal went 21 straight over two seasons, 1970-71. ... The Brewers resigned LHP Chase Wright after releasing him 10 days ago. Hes scheduled to start for the Nashville Sounds. ... Fielder was 2-for-28 before singling in his rst two at bats. ... Huff recorded a three-hit game for the rst time since June 12.
LOS ANGELES Chad Billingsley got an unusually early visit from pitching coach Rick Honeycutt after the Washington Nationals loaded the bases in the rst inning with no one out. The All-Star right-hander didnt need any more advice the rest of the day. Billingsley extricated himself from that mess and pitched seven innings of two-hit ball, leading the Dodgers to a 3-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on Sunday in
the rubber game of the three-game series. I wasnt really in a panic mode, Billingsley said. I felt good out there and I thought I had good stuff. It was just a matter of making pitches when I needed to. Then I was able to settle down and get deep into the game. I wasnt really expecting that, but it worked out that way. After I got through that rst inning, I knew that was all they were going to get. Both of Washingtons hits came in the first on singles by Ryan Zimmerman and Michael Morse,
who drove in Washingtons run. Billingsley (9-8) allowed only one baserunner after that, issuing a leadoff walk to Jayson Werth in the fourth. Bills won that game for us today and really showed a low of heart in that rst inning, said Aaron Miles, who drove in the Dodgers rst two runs. When youre looking at bases loaded, nobody out, youre thinking the worst. And for him to just shut the door like that and just cruise the rest of the way, that was huge. Billingsley, coming off a 5-0 loss at San Francisco in which he didnt
issue a walk for the rst time this season, walked his rst batter and hit his next one Danny Espinosa with a 1-2 pitch. Zimmermans hit to left eld loaded the bases for Morse, who drove in Roger Bernadina. But Billingsley ended his 38-pitch inning by striking out Werth on a fastball, Rick Ankiel on a curve ball and Jesus Flores on another deuce. When a guy like that whos obviously talented and has good stuff can get out of something like that, it gives him condence, Zimmerman said. When you have a pitcher on
the ropes, you have to put a crooked number up there. By no means is it easy to get runs in, but weve got to do a better job if we want to win games and be a good team. Billingsley is 4-0 with a 2.28 ERA against the Nationals at Dodger Stadium. His only loss to them was on April 25, 2010, when he pitched six innings of four-hit ball and dropped a 1-0 decision to Scott Olsen at Washington. Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect eighth, and rookie Javy Guerra did likewise in the ninth for his seventh straight save.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina Diego Forlan scored twice and Uruguay won the Copa America for a record 15th time after beating Paraguay 3-0 Sunday. Luis Suarez also scored for Uruguay, which followed up a seminal appearance at the 2010 World Cup by winning South Americas championship for the first time since 1995. We played as a group, said Suarez, who was selected as the best player of the tournament. I think when groups are united like this, everyone together and going for the same thing, you can get things done. At roughly 3.5 million people about the population of Connecticut Paraguay has the lowest population of teams in the tournament. Argentina and Brazil were upset in the quarternals of the Copa. Uruguay ousted Argentina on penalties and Paraguay eliminated Brazil, also in a shootout. Argentina has won the title 14 times, Brazil eight. Brazil had won four of the past ve titles. Uruguay was the clear favorite going into the nal, wrapping up a tournament lled with surprises. Not only had Brazil and Argentina been sent home early, but
Venezuela reached the third-place match on Saturday before losing 41 to Peru. Those two countries have been the weakest in the region in recent years, but they suddenly look formidable going into regional World Cup qualifying later this year. Uruguays squad featured 20 of the 23 players it took to the World Cup a year ago, showing teamwork and unselsh play with none of the vast star power of Argentina or Brazil. The important thing was getting started well, said Suarez, who had four goals one fewer than Perus Paolo Guerrero. With two goals in the rst half, I think it was very difcult for them to come back. Suarez gave Uruguay the lead in a match it dominated in the opening minutes. Receiving a pass in the area, the Liverpool forward beat defender Dario Veron to score from a deflected left-footed shot that went in off the far post behind goalkeeper Justo Villar. Uruguay could have even have led in the second minute, when Villar stopped Diego Luganos point-blank header. Forlan, who was voted the best player at last years World Cup, REUTERS made it 2-0 by lashing a left-footed Uruguayas Diego Perez raises the trophy after winning the Copa America shot from 12 yards that left Villar flat-footed. He was set up after nal soccer match against Paraguay in Buenos Aires Sunday
teammate Egidio Arevalo Rios had stolen the ball from a Paraguay player near mideld. Uruguay won fairly and played better, Paraguay defender Paulo Da Silva said. Uruguay is a beautiful champion. The Atletico Madrid striker had not scored in his 12 previous matches for the national team. Sebastian Eguren almost made it 3-0 in the 74th, foiled when Villar stuck out his left arm with the ball headed for the net. Forlan scored the nal goal in the 90th, taking a pass from Suarez and scoring into the far corner. This has been a lot of work, going back many years, Forlan said. Its been a job of doing things well and its yielded results. Paraguay, which seldom threatened, played without injured forward Roque Santa Cruz and winger Aureliano Torres. Paraguay Coach Gerardo Martino and top assistant Jorge Pautasso were suspended from the match after being sent off for repeatedly arguing with the referee in Wednesdays win over Venezuela. Martino, from Argentina, is seen as a leading contender to take over Argentinas national team. The Argentine federation was to meet Monday and decide on the future of coach Sergio Batista, who is reported to be on the way out.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia Sean OHair turned around the worst week of his most trying golf season on an even tougher golf course. Not even he imagined it was possible just four days ago. Coming off a frustratingly close missed cut at the British Open, and in the midst of his worst season on the PGA Tour, OHair played horric in Wednesdays Pro-Am on the eve of the Canadian Open. All of which made him savor the victory four days later that much more.
OHair won after tapping in for bogey on the first playoff hole Sunday, and then watching fellow American Kris Blanks lip out his bogey putt from just over 5 feet. It was the fourth PGA Tour victory for OHair, but his rst since 2009 and rst top-15 during a season in which hes missed 10 of 17 cuts coming in. Wednesday night was my worst point of the whole year, OHair said. I was lost on Wednesday. To be sitting here, I just really appreciate this win. The 29-year-old didnt see any irony in ending his slump at the Canadian Open in a season in which
hes already fired a couple of Canadians swing coach Sean Foley, who also now works with Tiger Woods, and caddy Brennan Little. He had plenty of praise for both, but did nd some irony in how the week played out. It is ironic that Im sitting here after Wednesday and how I felt, and to be holding this trophy is unbelievable, said OHair, adding he the breakthrough started after reading the Bible later that night. I ve been holding on so tight and trying to do it forcefully. Finally I just said You know what, its time for me to just let go and whatever hap-
pens, happens. It worked on a course that punished anyone who tried to force things. OHair started three shots off the lead before shooting 68 to get into a playoff with Blanks (70) at 4-under 276. It was the second-highest winning total on the PGA Tour this season, and the rst non-major without a bogey-free round since 2008. Only eight players nished under par on the tree-lined Shaugnessy Golf and Country Club, so it was perhaps tting it was won with a bogey. After a tough week, OHair didnt
mind seeing Blanks miss. There is not one second Im not feeling like Im going to just puke, said OHair, whose $936,000 winning share was almost triple his season earnings coming into the week, and vaulted him up 104 places in the FedEx Cup playoff standings to 43rd with ve weeks left in the race. Im sorry he missed the put but the fact I won knowing he missed it was just overwhelming. Playing the 472-yard, par-4 18th again, OHair and Blanks both drove it into the thick rough that many players compared unfavorably to the U.S. Open.

2012 Olympic soccer ball to be called The Albert
LONDON The soccer ball for the 2012 London Olympic tournament will be called The Albert. Sporting goods manufacturer Adidas invited Britons to suggest names and says the winner was picked because it is inspired by Londons great heritage and cockney rhyming slang. Adidas says Albert Hall, one of Londons great landmarks, supposedly means ball in east Londons traditional rhyming slang. The actual design of the ball will be unveiled next year. The Albert also refers to the River Thames Royal Albert Dock, 4.3 miles from the Olympic Park in east London.

OKLAHOMA CITY First-year coach Ken Eriksen is starting to see his group of youngsters transform into the Team USA of old. Stacy May-Johnson hit a grand slam and Christi Orgeron had a three-run double in a 10-run fourth inning, and the United States advanced to the World Cup of Softball championship game by beating Great Britain 10-0 Sunday. The U.S. will face 2008 Olympic gold medalist Japan on Monday night in a familiar matchup of the sports two powerhouses. Orgeron broke a scoreless tie with a double that hopped to the wall in left eld and cleared the bases, and the Americans (4-1) didnt let up until the game had ended because of the mercy rule. This team has that potential to at any moment just completely bust the game open, Orgeron said. It could be anyone in the lineup, one through nine. This team has an incredible amount of talent. Weve denitely been blessed by God with our abilities. All it takes is one little spark and you start
United States Stacy May-Johnson watches her fourth inning home run against Great Britain in a World Cup of Softball game in Oklahoma City, Sunday. The United States won 10-0.
a forest re. Just after Michelle Moultrie made a highlight-reel diving catch in left eld to nish the top of the fourth, the American offense came alive just like in the days when Crystl Bustos, Jessica Mendoza and Stacey Nuveman lled the middle of the lineup. Orgeron scored when second baseman Naomi Jones misplayed Michelle Moultries grounder, and Rhea Taylor followed with a single to shallow center to load the bases
again. May-Johnson homered to left, and Valerie Arioto and Brittany Schutte added back-to-back blasts to center to end the game. All of the Olympians from the Americans most dominant era are gone now, replaced by players with little to no international experience and some only halfway through college. The U.S. lost three out of four games against Japan, including the championship game, at the Canada Cup this month and also lost to Canada at this World Cup. But Eriksen saw his team start to turn the corner late in Saturdays 4-3 loss to Canada, which ended with the tying run on third. This is a pretty loose group right now, Eriksen said. If you take a look, really the four innings today, the seven innings last night and the last two innings against Canada, that was a little bit more like Team USA, what Im used to. Its good to see its coming together. Theyre starting to look to each other for companionship and perspective on the eld. That showed in the adjustments made against Stacie Townsend (0-2). The UTEP product retired six of the rst seven batters she faced, but then U.S. players started sharing what theyd learned about her pitches and soon the runs started piling up.
This team is just relentless and we refuse to be denied, Orgeron said. I love the re and the passion this team has. Everyone just got a little taste of what we can do, so Im excited about the future. Whitney Canion (2-0) allowed only two singles by Laura Thompson to get the win. Canada (3-2), the only team with multiple victories against the U.S. at the World Cup, was in line to reach the championship game for the rst time before losing 8-3 to Australia in the nightcap Sunday. That opened the door for Japan (4-1), which beat Great Britain 13-6 and the Czech Republic 9-0 Sunday to maintain its chance at the title. The U.S. beat the Japanese 8-4 on Saturday night but didnt face nemesis Yukiko Ueno, the winner in the 2008 gold medal game who threw a three-hit shutout in the Canada Cup nals. Eriksen said he expected to start Jordan Taylor, who just completed her college career at Michigan. She struck out all four batters she faced to close out the win against Japan on Saturday night. She deserves it. Shes doing well for us, Eriksen said. But the whole staff will be ready.
EDMONTON, Alberta Australias Will Power held off a hard-charging Helio Castroneves to win the Edmonton Indy on Sunday and narrow the gap on points leader Dario Franchitti. Power started second, overtook polesitter and leader Takuma Sato a quarter of the way through the race, then held off his Team Penske teammate to win by eight-tenths of a second. It was exactly the day we needed, Power said. Franchitti nished third, 1.2 seconds off the pace in the 80-lap race, run under sunny skies on the road course at the 2.2-mile, 13-turn City Centre Airport.
Power has 350 points in the championship standings, cutting his decit to Franchitti from 55 to 38 points with seven races remaining. Franchitti said he threw away a chance for the win near the midpoint of the race, when Mike Conway was leading the other cars on a double-le restart. Conway didnt accelerate as soon as the green ag came out. I didnt see the green flag, Conway said. Its just something Ive got to learn when up front. Franchitti said he thought he was supposed to wait until the end of the straightaway to accelerate. I screwed up. I lost a bunch of track position, the 38-year-old Scot said. Im disappointed in myself. The Target Chip Ganassi driver
got caught up in the wash and fell back to 10th before working his way back up the eld. I was catching Will and Helio really quickly, but unfortunately once I got there I couldnt do anything with them. But it was a nice recovery from the whole team. Power zoomed past Conway on that restart to gain back a lead he had lost briefly on a pit stop sequence. I think that pass right there was the pass for the race win, he said. Castroneves said he was happy with second place, given his season of mediocre nishes. It was awesome, the 36-yearold Brazilian said. After the season weve been having, this is like a victory.
Castroneves actually crossed the finish line first at last years Edmonton event, but was blackagged for blocking Power and the race win was given to Scott Dixon. Tony Kanaan and Justin Wilson rounded out the top ve, Danica Patrick was ninth and Sato ended up 21st after his promising start. Alex Tagliani was one of four drivers issued drive-through penalties for failing to avoid contact. Tagliani rear-ended Graham Rahal on the rst lap and ended his day. It seemed IndyCar ofcials, after a crash-lled race in Toronto two weeks ago, were taking more of a zero-tolerance approach. Power said stricter enforcement is needed. It will deter people from doing it
again, he said. They know if theyre going to hit someone, theyre going to get a drive-through and theyre going to go to the back (of the eld) as well. It has been a sore point for Power. He was knocked out of contention in Toronto when he and Franchitti came together on a corner. The Scot wasnt penalized, but Power said he should have been, labeling him a reckless and dirty driver. He said his feud with Franchitti ended after the warmup Sunday. He walked by, and that was the rst time we made eye contact and I sort of smiled, Power said. I guess we were both playing a bit of mind games with each other. But at the end of the day, you race how you race.
MORRISON, Colo Spencer Massey edged teammate Tony Schumacher in the final elimination round to win the Top Fuel dragster division at the Mopar Mile High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway on Sunday.

sion, coasting to victory after Matt Hagan drew a red light infraction for leaving a split-second early. Force, shaking off a qualifying run Saturday in which the body of his Ford Mustang was blown off the chassis, nished the 1,000foot course in 4.361 seconds and at a speed of 285.23 mph.

s much as Id like, we cant have fun in this space every week. Its impossible to lighten up some subjects and tips, and this weeks is one. We were recently contacted by a family who lost two rabbits from apparent heat stroke. I had someone close to me lose their rabbit the same way. This, sadly, is not uncommon. The small animal vets Ive spoken to over the years see too many cases. All rabbits are unique. But, generally, they do not tolerate heat well. So, how can you keep them cool? For one, be sure they are not kept in the sun. Whether conned to a cage for part of the day, allowed to romp in your yard or play in an area of the house, they need shade. Turn a fan on and have it circulate air in their room. Place a few ice cubes in their water crock (dish) which makes the water tempting and gives them a cool surface to lie against. Individual ceramic tiles (like the ones you can buy at Home Depot for a few dollars each) and one- or two-liter bottles lled with frozen water also make nice cool surfaces to lie on or against. OK, this one may sound silly, but try misting your bunnys ears. They transfer heat through their ears, so misting will help keep them cool. Brush out excessive fur, especially for long-haired rabbits. As you would with any pets, pay special attention to those who are in their golden years, those who have medical issues or those who need to lose a few pounds. Finally, if you notice signs of heat stroke, never submerge your rabbit in cold water, as this can lead to shock. Instead, dampen his ears and body with cool water and do not hesitate in getting him to your vet or an emergency clinic.

LOS ANGELES In a battle of summer movie heroes, Captain America topped Harry Potter this weekend at the box ofce. Paramount Pictures Captain America: The First Avenger opened at No. 1 with $65.8 million, according to Sunday studio estimates. The Marvel Comics superhero adventure sets up next summers all-star blockbuster The Avengers. Warner Bros. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the eighth and nal installment in the boy-wizard franchise, dropped to the second spot. It made just over $48 million in its second weekend for a domestic total of $274.1 million. Don Harris, head of distribution for Paramount, said Captain America exceeded expectations. He gured it would do the same sort of business as X-Men: First Class, which opened with $55.1 million in June. It looked to me, when I saw the marketing on the movie and then saw Captain America, like a throwback movie. It reminded me a little bit of Raiders of the Lost Ark. It had a little bit of a Raiders feel to it, which is one of the best movies of all time, Harris said. People embrace the look of the character. The character is a little bit like Iron Man he didnt have a lot of special weapons to himself, he just was a pretty interesting character. For it to be the fth of ve superhero movies for the summer, it looks like we got to save the best for last, he said. Internationally, Captain America: The First Avenger opened only in Italy with $2.8 million. It will begin playing in 23 international markets next weekend, including the United Kingdom, Russia, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Australia and Korea. Harry Potter dropped 72 percent from its record-setting opening of $169.2 million last weekend. That was expected, though: Even Warner Bros. executives acknowledged that these movies are front-loaded in terms of audience turn-out. And as box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian of Hollywood.com pointed out, this nal Potter picture made $43 million in its rst midnight showings alone. Harry Potter did what its going to do, Dergarabedian said. Even trying to keep up
that many fan-boys in one place affected the box ofce. Maybe people had comic books on the brain, superheroes on the brain. The weeks other big release, Friends With Benets from Sony Screen Gems, opened at No. 3 with $18.5 million. The romantic comedy stars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis as friends who try to maintain a strictly physical relationship. The extremely similar No Strings Attached, starring Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman, debuted in January with $19.7 million. Opening in limited release, Another Earth made $78,413 on four screens in New York and Los Angeles. The Fox Searchlight sci- romance stars William Mapother and Brit Marling as strangers whose lives intersect after a deadly car crash. Meanwhile, the 3-D Transformers: Dark of the Moon became the highest-grossing movie ever distributed by Paramount Pictures International. It crossed the half-billion-dollar mark with $62 million from 60 worldwide markets this weekend. Its cumulative overseas gross now stands at $556.6 million. Domestically, the third Transformers movie made $12 million this weekend for a domestic total of $325.8 million.

ing pieces at the Coeur dAlene Art Auction on Saturday in Reno, said Mike Overby, an organizer of the event. The annual auction, which began in 1984, is billed as the worlds largest Western art sale. This years event drew roughly 300 bidders from across the country. Two paintings by Charles M. Russell his 1892 Water for Camp and 1924 A Dangerous Sport rustled up nearly $1.5 million each. The former depicts a group of American Indians getting Councilman David Canepa proposed that the city ban any new outlets, phase out existing businesses and create a partnership with credit unions as a more nancially sound alternative. His suggested program would allow short-term loans up to $500 with a maximum APR of 18 percent for residents and give users the ability to build credit by paying off $800,000 cost and San Francisco Public Utilities Commission-owned land at a cost of $600,000. The costs cover a temporary working station with facilities to house equipment and reghters. The Skyline site is preferred since it could be a long-term home to a central station and offers the ability to have the station set back from the surrounding neighborhood. Burlingame and Millbrae would both pay into the temporary station, costs for which are expected to be covered through savings. Under the consolidation, the four-city department would have a $25.1 million annual budget with Central County Fire cities covering 50 percent, San Bruno contributing 30 percent and Millbrae putting in 20 percent. Such an arrangement would save an estimated $395,000 for Burlingame, wear and party wear. H&M also creates and sells its own brand of cosmetics, accessories and footwear. The two fashion giants will likely compete for some of the same shoppers and their holiday dollars later this year when retail spending spikes. There is more brewing at Hillsdale, however, than the impending battle between Forever 21 and H&M. Hillsdales south center is also seeing signicant changes with the arrival of specialty-footwear retailer DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse and the water from a stream, while the latter portrays two cowboys on horseback focused on a mountain lion. The Russell paintings were acquired by the same private collector, while the Bierstadt paintings went to separate private collectors, Overby said. Maynard Dixons 1944 Sculptured Sandstone, was purchased for $351,000 by a Lake Tahoe collector. A total of more than 300 works were sold at the Silver Legacy Resort Casino for a total of about $17 million. loans over a period of up to a year. Canepa also wants a cap of three loans per person per year and a nancial education requirement for borrowers. The Board of Supervisors meets 9 a.m. Tuesday, July 26 in Board Chambers, 400 County Government Center, Redwood City. $595,000 for Millbrae, $295,000 for Hillsborough and $95,000 for San Bruno, wrote Dennis Haag, re chief for Millbrae and San Bruno. Savings come from administration sharing and closing two stations. For Millbrae and Burlingame, closing stations accounts for the majority of the savings. Burlingame and Hillsborough merged re departments to form Central County in 2004. Talk of expanding the shared services to include Millbrae and San Bruno began in 2007.

system will encourage other departments to advance their records keeping. San Mateo City Clerk Norma Gomez has seen great transformations in her years as city clerk. Ive been [with the city] for 25 years, so Ive seen the transition from requesting a copy of a document and we mail it, to scanning it and people getting it wherever they are, she said. Gomez explained her ofce is somewhat paperless today because she has scanned documents from the past 10 years into her digital system. Our goal is to make more documents available online, she said. Recent City Council actions and videos are available online. Video links to individual items on the agenda are available to access specic portions of each meeting, Gomez said. Silvia Vonderlinden, city clerk of Redwood City, said she is taking cues from her innovative and progressive City Council, of which six members now use iPads and one uses a laptop for meetings. There has been tremendous improvement to our operations, said Vonderlinden, who now sends the councils agendas electronically. On Thursdays, she explained, she is no
longer compiling and copying documents but is instead using a new internal system called SIRE, which compiles staff reports for agendas electronically. For me its a big dream being realized seeing this system, Vonderlinden said. In 2000, the clerks ofce purchased Laserche. It was denitely a worthwhile investment, said Vonderlinden, emphasizing the ease with which documents can be accessed and shared with the public. In Redwood City, all current city documents and videos are online. Archives of agreements, ordinances and resolutions are in various stages of being scanned and posted online. As a result, the secretary in her ofce has reduced hours from 40 hours to 33 hours per week. On the other hand, she said her ofce has an employee dedicated to making sure that city documents are scanned and available to the public. Doris Palmer, city clerk of Foster City, said that her department got its moneys worth when it invested in an online document management program. We like to be at the forefront of technology as time goes by, she said. Palmer said her department is simply her and a deputy, but they are able to serve the public at all times with the online system. Last March, she began video streaming City Council meetings. Citizens who wish to receive the council agenda can sign up for an email list. Her next step
will be to set up a module that allows her to post vote counts along with meeting minutes. The online system is a big money saver for her department. So much money is lost in not nding something, she said. The cost of the transition stayed low because volunteers helped to scan records. She still keeps permanent records in a vault. Most people are holding on to hard copy, she said. But we want to be up there providing the best service and open and transparent government. Mary Ellen Kearney, city clerk of Burlingame, has moved current city records online, but does not see the need to move the citys archives online. Having the agenda and minutes online has been very benecial, she said. Although most public requests for city records are easily met with an email, Kearney still keeps hard copies of the agenda packets. Since I have not had significant demand for getting earlier records online, at this time it is not necessary, she said in an email. Her department, which consists of her and a part-time assistant, began video streaming in 2008. Going digital has been cheap for Kearney because she is not attempting to scan much of her archives. The only challenge has been learning the video software program, she said.

WORLD
how can you tell? Rustad told the Associated Press. In the document Breivik styles himself as a Christian conservative, patriot and nationalist. He looks down on neo-Nazis as underprivileged racist skinheads with a short temper. Part of Breiviks manifesto was taken almost word for word from the rst few pages of the anti-technology manifesto written by Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, who is in federal prison for mail bombs that killed three people and injured 23 others across the U.S. from the 1970s to the 1990s. Breivik did not cite Kaczynski, though he did for many other people whose writings he used. Breivik changed a Kaczynski screed on leftism and what he considered to be leftists feelings of inferiority mainly by substituting the words multiculturalism or cultural Marxism for leftism. For instance, Kaczynski wrote: One of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is leftism, so a discussion of the psychology of leftism can serve as an introduction to the discussion of the problems of modern society in general. Breiviks manifesto reads: One of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is multiculturalism, so a discussion of

OSLO, Norway Anders Behring Breivik said he was a boy when his lifes path began to turn. It was during the rst Gulf War, when a Muslim friend cheered at reports of missile attacks against American forces. I was completely ignorant at the time and apolitical but his total lack of respect for my culture (and Western culture in general) actually sparked by interest and passion for it, the suspect in Norways bombing and mass shooting wrote in his 1,500-page manifesto. The 32-year-old Norwegian said it was the NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999 that tipped the scales for him because he sympathized with Serbias crackdown on ethnic Albanian Muslims in Kosovo. A year later he said he realized that what he called the Islamization of Europe couldnt be stopped by peaceful means. Police and Breiviks lawyer says he confessed to, but denied criminal responsibility for, Fridays bombing at government headquarters in Oslo and the mass shooting later that day at an island summer camp organized by the youth wing of the ruling Labor Party. At least 93 people were killed in the attacks. Breiviks manifesto chronicled events that deepened his contempt

for Muslims and Marxists he blamed for making Europe multicultural. He suggested his friends didnt even know what he was up to, and comments from several people who had contact with the quiet blond man indicate he was right. From September 2009 through October 2010, Breivik posted more than 70 times on Dokument.no, a Norwegian site with critical views on Islam and immigration. In one comment, he entertained the idea of a European Tea Party movement. In December of 2009, Breivik showed up at a meeting organized by the websites staff. He was a bit strange. As one could see from his postings, he had obviously read a lot but not really digesting it, said Hans Rustad, the editor of the website. But Rustad said he hadnt the faintest idea about Breiviks murderous plans. Other people have the same views on the Net and they dont go out and become mass murderers. So
the psychology of multiculturalists can serve as an introduction to the discussion of the problems of Western Europe in general. Breivik called his upbringing in a middle-class home in Oslo privileged even though his parents divorced when he was 1 and he lost contact with his father in his teens. His parents split when the family lived in London, where his father, Jens Breivik, was a diplomat at the Norwegian Embassy in London. A spokesman for the embassy, Stein Iversen, conrmed that Jens Breivik was employed at the embassy in the late 1970s, but wouldnt discuss his relationship with the Oslo suspect. Breivik said both parents supported Norways center-left Labor Party, which he viewed as inltrated by Marxists. His mother won a custody battle, but Breivik said he regularly visited his father and his new wife in France, where they lived, until his father cut off contact when Breivik was 15. The father told Norwegian newspaper VG that they lost touch in 1995, but that it was his son who wanted to cut off contact. Weve never lived together, but we had some contact in his childhood, the older Breivik, who VG said is now retired in France, was quoted as saying. When he was young he was an ordinary boy, but reclusive. He wasnt interested in politics at the time.
OSLO, Norway To Anders Behring Breivik, the Norway explosion and shootings that killed at least 93 people were a marketing method for his manifesto, which not only lays out his extreme nationalist philosophy but reveals his attack methods and encourages likethinkers to do their own mass killing. Breivik describes how he bought armor, guns, tons of fertilizer and other bomb components, stashed caches of weapons and wiping his computer hard drive all while evading police suspicion and being nice to his neighbors. In discussing how and where to order bomb components, he said there is absolutely NO GOOD REASON why anyone (unless agged by the intelligence agency) shouldnt be able to acquire the above materials. Any single patriot who wants to establish a cell and begin action can do so, and thus becomes a part of the organisation, he wrote. Fridays bombing at government headquarters in Oslo, which killed at least seven, and the shootings, which killed at least 86 at a ruling-
party island retreat for young people, have rattled Norway, home to the Nobel Peace Prize and where the average policeman patrols without a rearm. More than 90 people were wounded, and others remain missing at both Anders Breivik crime scenes. Authorities revealed Sunday that one of the attackers rst victims on the island was an off-duty police ofcer who had been hired by the camp directors to provide private security in his spare time. That detail sheds new light on the confusion many survivors described during the 90-minute massacre. The attacker arrived dressed as a policeman, and some were killed when they approached the killer thinking he was there to save them. Dr. Colin Poole, head of surgery at Ringriket Hospital in Honefoss northwest of Oslo, told The Associated Press that the gunman used special bullets designed to disintegrate inside the body and cause maximum internal damage.
Poole said surgeons treating 16 gunshot victims have recovered no full bullets. These bullets more or less exploded inside the body, Poole said. Its caused us all kinds of extra problems in dealing with the wounds they cause, with very strange trajectories. Ballistics experts say the so-called dumdum bullets also are lighter in weight and can be red with greater accuracy over varying distances. Police have not released the names of any victims, but they were mourned Sunday. Norways King Harald V, his wife, Queen Sonja, and Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg were part of the crowd packed into Oslo Cathedral. People who could not t inside the grand church, which was strewn with owers and candles, huddled under umbrellas amid drizzling rain. The king and queen wiped tears from their
eyes during the service themed on sorrow and hope. Police and Breiviks lawyer have said that he confessed to the twin attacks but denied criminal responsibility for Norways deadliest day ever in peacetime. Breivik has been charged with terrorism and will be arraigned Monday. Norway has no death penalty. Its maximum sentence for any crime is 21 years. Breiviks attorney, Geir Lippestad, said Sunday that his client asked for an open court hearing on Monday because he wants to explain himself. It was unclear whether a judge would allow the media to cover the hearing. He wanted a change in society and, from his perspective, he needed to force through a revolution, Lippestad told public broadcaster NRK. He wished to attack society and the structure of society.

LONDON Amy Winehouses mother said the singer seemed unwell a day before she died, a British newspaper reported Sunday, while her family mourned the loss of a wonderful daughter, sister, niece and more tributes owed in from fans and fellow performers. A mound of owers, messages and handwritten notes grew Sunday outside of the north London home where ambulance crews found the singer dead before they arrived on Saturday. R.I.P. Never Forgotten, read one message, while another said Its all right, love. Go now.
Amy Winehouse
The Sunday Mirror quoted Janis Winehouse as saying she believed it was only a matter of time before her daughter died. The 27-year-old singer had publicly struggled with drug and alcohol abuse for years. She seemed out of it. But her passing so suddenly still hasnt hit me, Janis told the tabloid. Police said the cause of her death is being treated as unexplained, rejecting speculation that she died from a drug overdose as inappropriate. The circumstances surrounding her death are not yet clear, but police said a post-mortem is expected Monday or Tuesday. Her spokesman, Chris Goodman, conrmed Sunday that a security
guard had found her body and called ambulance services. Our family has been left bereft by the loss of Amy, a wonderful daughter, sister, niece. She leaves a gaping hole in our lives, the family of the Back to Black singer said in a statement, and requested privacy. In her short lifetime, Winehouse too often made headlines because of drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, destructive relationships and abortive performances. Actor Russell Brand, a former drug addict, wrote a lengthy tribute to Winehouse, urging the media and public to change the way addiction is perceived not as a crime or a romantic affectation but as a dis-
ease that will kill. Winehouse and I shared an afiction, the disease of addiction, he wrote. Addiction is a serious disease; it will end with jail, mental institutions or death. Others, like American singer Carole King, whose song Will You Love Me Tomorrow was covered by Winehouse, recalled her small, but powerful body of recorded music. She did such a beautiful performance on it, King told the BBC, saying that she was grateful to the late singer for the recording. I just really hope that shes found peace now wherever she is. No information about funeral or burial was immediately available.
LOS ANGELES Some TV shows really know how to use the venerable tradition of stunt casting. All in the Family created a classic when Sammy Davis Jr. dropped in on the Bunkers and gave racism the kiss-off. Love Boat trafcked in volume and variety, with an A-toZ roll call of guest stars ranging from Eve Arden to Adrian Zmed. Lifetimes quirky fantasy Drop Dead Diva (9 p.m. EDT Sunday) is
putting its own spin on the convention, boosted by a celebrity fan club that likes to do more than watch. A partial accounting of this seasons guests alone includes Paula Abdul, Brandy Norwood, Kathy Grifn, LeAnn Rimes, Lance Bass, Quinton Aaron, Valerie Harper, Nancy Grace, Jamie Lynn Sigler and Clay Aiken. Past visitors include Liza Minnelli, Faith Prince, Delta Burke, Tim Gunn, Vivica A. Fox and Jennifer Tilly. Series executive producer Josh
Berman, who was a longtime writer for CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Bones, said luring celebrities to those dramas was a challenge compared to Drop Dead Diva. Stars started calling us in the rst season, Berman said, with others tweeting their yearning to drop in on Diva. An element of prestige has been added: The series is among the nalists announced this month for the annual Humanitas Prize, which honors lm and TV writers whose work
meaningfully explores the human condition. The comedy-drama stars Brooke Elliott as a self-absorbed model who dies in an accident and nds her soul shifted to the body of a newly dead, plus-size attorney. In this weeks episode, Elliotts character, Jane, represents a lesbian couple banned from a high school prom. Bass, Aiken, Wanda Sykes and Amanda Bearse, all openly gay, guest star. Berman acknowledges that his shows per-episode average of 2.4 million viewers is dwarfed by the
double-digit pull of crime shows. But stars dont necessarily want to be plugged into a murder-of-theweek plot, Berman said and Diva also knows how to play the good host. We try to custom-write roles for stars we pursue as well as those that ask us. We tailor a role, he said. I think its rare in which a show has a writer get together with a guest star and say, Lets talk about your part. If Paula wants to act, sing or dance, well make sure she does what she wants to, he said of Abdul.
