    We are almost out of time


    House approves debt bill;Senate rejects it in less than two hours

    WASHINGTON In an unforgiving display of partisanship, the Republican-controlled House approved emergency legislation Friday night to avoid an unprecedented government default and Senate Democrats scuttled it less

    than two hours later in hopes of a better deal. We are almost out of time for a compromise, w a r n e d President Barack Obama

    as U.S. nancial markets trembled at the prospect of economic chaos next week. The Dow Jones average fell for a sixth straight session. Lawmakers in both parties said they were determined to avoid a default, yet there was little evidence of progress or even signicant negotiations on a compromise during a long day of intense politi-

    cal maneuvering. The House vote was 218-210, almost entirely along party lines, on a Republican-drafted bill to provide a quick $900 billion increase in U.S. borrowing authority essential to allow the government to continue paying all its bills along with $917 billion in cuts from federal spending.

    It had been rewritten hastily overnight to say that before any additional increase in the debt limit could take place, Congress must approve a balanced budget-amendment to the Constitution and send it to the states for ratication. That marked a concession to tea party-

    County suit against Lehman back on track


    Class action ruling moves suit forward
    By Michelle Durand
    DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

    A New York federal judges ruling this week to uphold serious investor claims in a class action suit against Lehman Brothers executives is paving the way for a separate lawsuit by San Mateo County which is largely based on similar contentions, said the countys attorney. The county suit has been on hold pending the ruling by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan of the South District Court of New York that the investors have sufficiently alleged viable claims and that the defendants Lehman, its executives and auditor Ernst & Young LLP alleged fraud caused them to suffer losses. The countys case is based on similar allegations ... and we would expect a similar outcome. The decision is also very important since discovery can move forward immedi-

    ately, attorney Mark Molumphy said in a prepared statement. Molumphy did not return a call for further comment about the time line. The class action suit claims Lehman misrepresented its nancial condition and used accounting gimmicks to hide losses from its investors. One gimmick is the socalled Repo 105 transactions which are repurchase agreements that allow short-term loans to appear as sales. These moves made the rm appear in a stronger nancial state than it really was prior to the September 2008 bankruptcy that rippled throughout the financial world and leeched hundreds of millions of dollars from investors. The San Mateo County investment pool lost approximately $155 million for its 1,050 different

    Two restaurants, one goal


    Sodinis Bertoluccis and Flea Street Cafe share passionate approach to dining
    By Erin Hurley
    DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

    Opening a restaurant that keeps customers coming back year after year is a challenge, especially with an unpredictable economic climate and changing trends. However,

    some restaurants in San Mateo County have proven theyve got what it takes. Sodinis Bertoluccis in South San Francisco and the Flea Street Cafe in Menlo Park are two such restaurants. They appear different in many ways including their histories,

    menus and atmosphere, but the owners behind them have a similar belief: Going into the restaurant business requires a strong passion. I think its the most ridiculous business in the world, Sodinis

    A Planned Parenthood clinic previously approved by Redwood City may be scuttled by something more mundane than the anti-abortion protesters whove dogged its application parking. While a neighboring rental car company says it never had a formal contract to close the gap in Planned Parenthoods parking requirements, the health provider said it doesnt

    mean its plans for a clinic are over. Were optimistic we can move forward with the agreement with the city, said Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Lupe Rodriguez. Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, which wants to open a clinic at 2890 El Camino Real, had until 5 p.m. Friday to provide Redwood City proof that the Enterprise Rent-ACar across the street would provide nine of the 27 parking stalls required

    President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a measure making In God We Trust the national motto, replacing E Pluribus Unum (Out of many, one). In 1511, painter and architect Giorgio Vasari, known for his biographies of Italian artists, was born in Arezzo, Tuscany. In 1619, the rst representative assembly in America convened in Jamestown in the Virginia Colony. In 1729, Baltimore, Md. was founded. In 1864, during the Civil War, Union forces tried to take Petersburg, Va., by exploding a gunpowder-lled mine under Confederate defense lines; the attack failed. In 1918, poet Joyce Kilmer, a sergeant in the 165th U.S. Infantry Regiment, was killed during the Second Battle of the Marne in World War I. (Kilmer is perhaps best remembered for his poem Trees.) In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a bill creating a womens auxiliary agency in the Navy known as Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service WAVES for short. In 1945, the Portland class heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine during World War II; only 316 out of some 1,200 men survived. In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law the Medicare bill, which went into effect the following year. In 1975, former Teamsters union president Jimmy Hoffa disappeared in suburban Detroit; although presumed dead, his remains have never been found. In 1980, Israels Knesset passed a law reafrming all of Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state.

    Belmont reporting rash of residential burglaries


    DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

    Seven reported residential burglaries and attempts were reported in the last week in Belmont, police said, prompting a resident warning to lock doors and keep an eye out for suspicious activity. In each reported case, no one was home at the time of the crime and burglars appear to want jewelry and electronic equipment like laptop computers, police said. While the crimes have occurred in several residential neighborhoods, all have occurred between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. On Monday, two reports were at the 1600 block of Notre Dame Avenue and the 1200 block of Elmer Street. On Wednesday, there was a report of a burglary on the 1500 block of El Verano Way and an attempted burglary on the 300 block of Malcolm Avenue. On Thursday, there were two burglaries reported on the 1800 block of Oak Knoll Drive and one attempted burglary on the 400

    block of Middle Road, according to police. There are two subjects of interest seen Thursday on Oak Knoll Drive. One was described as white, 25-30 years old, thin with short blond hair. He reportedly asked a resident in the area if they had a dog for sale and left when told he had the wrong address. The other was described as black, 20-30 years old, medium build and dressed casually. He was seen knocking on doors and is associated with a gray BMW sedan, according to police. We are asking for the publics help in not only solving these crimes, but also preventing future burglaries, said Belmont Police Chief Don Mattei. Residents should make sure they lock their homes when they are away and consider an alarm system. If you see a person or vehicle in your neighborhood that looks suspicious, please call police right away, its important that neighbors look out for each other. Anyone with information on these subjects or the recent burglaries, is asked to call Belmont police at 595-7400.

    A man who gained fame when he was red from his job as Santa Claus at Macys Union Square last year for telling off-color jokes and then rehired to preside over a local toy drive has reportedly died. John Toomey was found dead in his room at a Market Street residential hotel Friday, said Nick Bovis, owner of Lefty ODouls. Were all really emotional here, said Bovis, who hired Toomey as his in-house Santa following his famous falling-out with Macys. He was a great person. Toomey had been playing Santa Claus at Macys for around 20 years when he was red. The incident drew nationwide attention including a television appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In his stint at Lefty ODouls, Toomey posed for photos in a specially constructed North Pole Winter Wonderland at $10 a shot to raise money for the Fireghters Toy Program. His presence gave the toy drive and fundraising program a major boost, Bovis said. The toy drive, which had set a goal of collecting 10,000 toys, instead collected around 15,000. The photos raised around $10,000, which was also donated. There are 12,000 kids in San Francisco that wouldnt have had a Christmas without Santa John last year, said publicist Lee Houskeeper, who works with Lefty ODouls. Were just devastated by his passing. Houskeeper said Bovis had helped Toomey get medical care for respiratory issues when

    John Toomey
    he hired him at Leftys, but that Santa John would work himself into exhaustion if allowed to do so. He would sit there until the last child left, Houskeeper said. I would have to come down and tell them to stop because he would work until he was really tired. Toomey had a lifetime contract to return to Lefty ODouls as Santa Claus and was looking forward to this Christmas, Houskeeper said. He said the restaurant has no plans to replace him because he was irreplaceable. Like Santa Claus, Toomeys age remains somewhat in doubt. On his job application, Bovis said Toomey had written under age: My tongue is slightly older than my teeth. The application, after a bit of a hunt, was found led away under Kris Kringle.

    Half Moon Bay promotes running heaven

    DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

    Lt.governor releases plan to revive state Organizers putting on first international marathon in September
    By Adam Weintraub

    If you go
    The marathon varies from $50-$140 per runner and the minimum age limit is 16. Elite Ultra-running Star and Brooks Sponsored Athlete Scott Jurek will be the host athlete at this years event.HMBIM is presented by Sams Chowder House as the presenting sponsor.Sponsorships also include The Graphic Works,RitzCarlton of Half Moon Bay,Brooks Running and Clif products.For additional information visit http://halfmoonbayim.org.Follow HMBIM at Facebook/halfmoonbayim and @halfmoonbayim on Twitter to stay posted on news and updates about the event.
    More than a year ago, he connected with Coastside Running Club members and friends Ron Little and George Miller to create a must-do, annual destination marathon for the Bay Area. Little said they are currently in the process of getting the marathon certified with U.S. Track and Field so it will become a Bostoncertified marathon qualifier. We didnt want to create a local community event, Vaughan said. We wanted to create one of the most popular runs with attractions from all over the world modeled after Big Sur International Marathon. Organized by Coastside Running Events, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, the sixhour open course features 26.2 miles of flat running path that traverses the Pacific Ocean coastline with paved bike trails and wide, packed-dirt trails. The scenic run will start at Pillar Point Harbor, continue north to the

    A seaside community serves as the premiere destination in the ultimate test of physical endurance for hundreds of athletes, families and friends from around the world. In less than three months, registration sold out to partake in the inaugural Half Moon Bay International Marathon that will host a 26.2 mile full and 13.1-mile half marathon, a 10K and a free 5K family fun run. Up to 500 runners from 25 states and four countries are expected to hit the coastal course beginning at 7 a.m. and organizers hope to grow the event in coming years. The Sept. 25 event will boost the local economy by bringing much revenue to the city of Half Moon Bay, said Eric Vaughan, local organizer and executive director of HMBIM. Not only will the coastal town be placed on the map as a monumental running event, but it will be a business-driven event benefiting restaurants, merchandisers, shops and 225 already-reserved hotels within San Mateo County, he said. Running events, marathons in particular, are growing in participation at an unprecedented level, with over 500,000 marathon finishers in 2010 alone, according to HMBIM. The motivation to create an international marathon sparked from the idea of running heaven. Vaughan, an active runner for 10 years, occasionally ran along Half Moon Bay appreciating its natural spectacular coastline, beautiful running weather and quaint coastal environment. His inspiration grew from Montereys Annual Big Sur International Marathon, which contributed more than $7 million to the local economy.

    Point Montara Lighthouse, arrive at Mavericks with a southern run along the Coastside Trail, and head over the bluffs to the Ritz Carlton, where there will be a turnaround point. The Coastside Trail will then take runners back to Pillar Point Harbor to the marathons finish line. Half Moon Bay is an ideal running location with views that are hard to match, Vaughan said. When you run along the coastal trail, you will want to stop and take a picture because the ocean view is breathtaking. Its quite amazing the emotional component that comes from running this course. To foster a more ecoconscious community, hundreds were invested to promote green efforts, said Jennifer Dill, chief green officer of HMBIM executive board. The city is working with Council for Responsible Sport, a green athletic events program through awareness, programs and certification, to create a health guide event, she said. We are taking a proactive approach to ensure the certification level of how green we are, Vaughan said. Biodegradable cups will be used, brochures on how to handle waste will be distributed, [portable toilets] will be set up, and bringing your own water bottle will be encouraged. We are looking to use renewable energy resources with solar power capabilities as well. Vaughan said special awards will be given to the top three fastest and local runners who complete the marathon, and every finisher will receive a small local favor. To ensure a reduction of traffic and congestion on the local community, the course will stay away from Highway 1. All major streets will be avoided for an optimal running experience, he added.

    SACRAMENTO Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsoms proposal to jumpstart economic development and job growth in California, unveiled Friday, drew support from business and labor alike as it focused on small wins that he believes entrenched political factions can agree on. The proposal, however, dealt only in broad strokes Gavin Newsom with battleground issues such as taxation and environmental regulations that cause interest groups to dig in for a political ght. Everyone has their trophy, everyone has their agenda, and they start shooting at each other before we even sit down, Newsom, a Democrat, said. By concentrating on steps such as creating a single economic development ofce high in state government and marketing California overseas to expand exports, supporters hope Newsoms approach can generate momentum toward progress on tougher issues during the next six months. The report recounted the struggles of Californias economy, which has lost a million jobs in ve years. It also detailed strengths that could underpin new growth, including a culture of business innovation, access to export markets, an educated workforce, and a solid foundation in the emerging clean economy for products with environmental benets. Aspects of the plan drew praise from the California Chamber of Commerce, California Labor Federation, the state chapter of the National Federation of Independent Businesses and the California Association for Local Economic Development.

    PG&E digging up pipe


    About 250 feet of a gas pipeline transmission line was being dug up for removal this week in San Bruno near the site of last years explosion and re that killed eight and destroyed nearly 40 homes. A section of Pacic Gas and Electrics line 132 running underground on Glenview Drive is being removed at the request of the California Public Utilities Commission, PG&E spokeswoman Brittany Chord said Thursday. The line was installed in 1948 but decommissioned for use in 1956, Chord said. Line 132 was then rerouted to accommodate the development of the neighborhood, she said. The section of pipe will be removed leading up to the blast site and the CPUC will then take possession of it to inspect the welds and to take samples of the pipes to determine if they share any similar metallurgical characteristics to the failed pipeline, CPUC ofcials said.

    Political maps to favor Democrats


    District highlights
    Democrats stand to gain more seats simply because of the states changing demographics.The states Hispanic population continues to climb, which favors Democrats. While its unclear whether Democrats can reach the two-thirds majority needed to pass tax increases in the state Assembly, the new maps provide an opportunity for the states majority party to reach two-thirds in the state Senate.Democrats also could make two or three congressional seat gains by carving into territory currently held by GOP members,said Democratic redistricting consultant Paul Mitchell. Others suggest as many as ve GOP congressional seats could be in jeopardy. Minority groups were alarmed after the draft maps were released in June, leading the commission to make revisions and preserve minority seats to meet requirements under the Voting Rights Act.The most contentious decision came over the black community in Los Angeles County. Black civic leaders had feared they could lose at least one congressional district.Instead of creating one majority-minority black district, the commission split those voters into three districts so black candidates would have a chance of retaining those seats. Republican and Democratic incumbents may be pitted against members of their own party, forcing some to play musical chairs.For example, Republican Assembly members Dan Logue and Jim Nielsen were drawn into the same district in the Sacramento Valley. Logue said he will slide over to the east,where he keeps a second home near Mount Shasta:All I have to do is pick up my toothbrush,Logue said. In the San Fernando Valley, Democratic Reps. Brad Sherman and Howard Berman could face each other unless one moves west to a seat that covers Ventura County. Some incumbents may become more vulnerable.For example,in the state Senate,Republican Sam Blakeslee represents a competitive district that extends from San Jose to San Luis Obispo.By keeping Santa Cruz County whole,the commission has changed it into a Democratic-leaning district. In Los Angeles County, Congresswoman Laura Richardson already is facing a challenge from state Assemblyman Isadore Hall.That race could get crowded if newly elected Rep. Janice Hahn, also a Democrat, tries to grab that seat. It was drawn specically so blacks could maintain three seats in the area. Hahn is in a tough place because her coastal district will be drawn into Rep. Henry Waxmans district.

    Millbrae Safeway slated to open February 2013


    The opening of Millbraes new Safeway will be delayed three months after a councilwoman appealed the Planning Commissions February approval so the City Council could weigh in on the sizeable project. Originally slated to open by Thanksgiving 2012, Safeway now plans to open the new store in February 2013. When it opens, it should have extra parking, an outdoor patio and a bank while retaining the historic mosaic currently seen along El Camino Real. Safeways plans, which include tearing down the store at 525 El Camino Real and erecting a podium building with street-level parking both in front of and underneath the store, was approved in February by the Millbrae Planning Commission.

    the next ve years after negotiating new agreements. The county sought the savings as it grapples to trim from an ongoing structural decit that has now passed the $100 million mark. The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors approved new labor contracts with four unions Tuesday that will also save the county millions in long-term health and retirement costs. Agreements were reached with the California Nurses Association, San Mateo County Council of Engineers, the Building Construction and Trades Council Operating Engineers Local 3 and the Organization of Sheriffs Sergeants. The countys 374 nurses received an immediate pay boost of 2 percent once the contract was approved yesterday and will receive 2 percent market adjustments to pay in both 2012 and 2013.

    Council rethinks tax hike


    Guests of Foster Citys two hotels may have to pay a little more for overnight stays next year but will likely get a slight break on their hotel bill as the council has dropped a proposed tax hike just enough to get the four votes it needed to get it on the ballot. The Foster City Council will decide Monday whether to put a measure on the November ballot asking residents to increase the citys hotel tax. The council decided in February to ask residents to consider an increase to the citys hotel occupancy tax from a county low of 8 percent to a more standard 10 percent. But Councilmen Rick Wykoff and Charlie Bronitsky stood against the proposed hike from the beginning, saying instead the city should tighten its belt in other areas to trim from the citys $5 million structural decit rather than raise any taxes. Councilwoman Pam Frisella amended the original ordinance and dropped the tax rate down to 9.5 percent instead of 10 percent.

    SACRAMENTO A citizens commission established by voters to independently create Californias legislative and congressional districts delivered its rst set of maps Friday, voting to adopt new boundaries that appear to give majority Democrats even more power in the nations most populous state. The 14-member California Citizens Redistricting Commission approved nal draft versions of district maps for Congress, the state Assembly and Senate, and the state Board of Equalization, which administers sales and use taxes. Even before the vote, the drafts were being heavily scrutinized by political parties, communities and minority groups because they will be used in state elections for the next decade, helping shape Californias congressional delegation, the nations largest, and the composition of the 120-member state Legislature. Redistricting experts said the new

    maps are likely to reduce the inuence of Republicans even further. Democrats are hoping the redrawn districts will allow them to achieve the two-thirds majority

    needed in the Legislature to pass tax increases, while the number of Republicans California sends to Congress now 19 could be reduced.

    Serial rapist imprisoned 33 years

    500 county workers concede millions


    More than 500 county employees conceded this week nearly $4.5 million in wages and benets that span

    The South San Francisco auto body worker who raped or attempted to sexually assault several women between 2006 and 2007 was sentenced Friday to 33 years in prison, more than three years after his arrest for one attack linked him to other unsolved cases. In May, Raul Gutierrez Contreras, 33, pleaded no contest to eight felonies in return for the 33year term rather than face trial and possible life in prison. Contreras plea deal includes counts of forcible rape, forcible sodomy, forcible oral copulation, forcible assault with intent to rape, attempted forcible rape, threatening a witness, making felony threats and felony false imprisonment.

    Contreras alleged string of sexual assaults came to light after a woman reported being attacked the morning of Feb. 6, 2007 inside South Raul Contreras her Maple Avenue business in South San Francisco. She resisted and, during a struggle, struck her attacker with a metal object, cutting him above the eye, police reported. After she called 911, the man ed. Police arrested Contreras Feb. 12, 2007 and were later able to link him to a February 2006 rape in Colma and a November rape on South Linden Avenue in South San Francisco through DNA and other

    physical evidence, according to prosecutors. That March, 20 more felony charges were added to the complaint against Contreras for the two rapes, including counts of rape, sexual battery, assault with intent to commit rape and false imprisonment, the District Attorneys Ofce reported. The six original charges for the attempted rape also included commercial burglary, assault and false imprisonment. Investigators then linked Contreras to an attempted rape in the rest room of a South San Francisco park. Jury trial for Contreras was scheduled and postponed seven times since he pleaded not guilty in Superior Court in September 2008. Contreras has been in custody in lieu of $700,000 bail.

    Grand jury report on airport noise flawed


    By Richard Newman

    copy of the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury report, County Ofcials Need to Make Noise about Aircraft Noise, was forwarded to my attention labeled No Reply. I have been the chair of the San Francisco International Airport/Community Roundtable for six months, vice-chair for the ve years, and on the Roundtable since 2000. I was never contacted nor interviewed by this grand jury. Therefore, I make these statements as an individual, not as a representative of the Roundtable. The report is awed in many ways. To suggest that the effectiveness of the Roundtable has been diminished because complaints are down is illogical. Complaints are not a reliable barometer of aircraft noise exposure levels, as they can be articially increased (i.e. at times, individuals will make thousands of complaints per month). The decline in complaints is likely the result of the Roundtables work over 30 years in tandem with the Aircraft Noise Abatement Ofce, SFOs management, the FAA and the airlines. The Roundtable will continue to build on those relationships to improve life in the proximity of SFO. The report suggests that the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors take a more active role in the Roundtable and make signicant changes. The Board of Supervisors has a voting member, but otherwise does not control the Roundtable. With regard to the city of Daly Citys departure from the Roundtable last year, we urged their leaders to rejoin us as soon as nances would allow. Budgetary concerns were the sole reason for their withdrawal. I offer the following comments on the some of the Findings and Recommendations in the report: No single event noise readings: SFO measures every single noise event

    Guest perspective
    and ags events caused by aircraft. Those single events are used to calculate the Community Noise Equivalent Level; the noise metric required by the California State Noise Standard. SFO Noise Abatement Ofce should measure and track the intensity of structural vibration on departure ight paths: The Roundtable has sponsored several technical reports on lowfrequency noise (a source of vibration), which is particularly acute behind the start-of-takeoff roll on Runways 1R and 1L. While vibrations can be annoying, we were advised there is no potential for structural damage or human health effects. Chair and vice-chair should be elected representatives: After serving in the complicated arena of airport noise for a decade, I was elected Roundtable chair by my colleagues. As chair of the countys Airport Land Use Committee for many years, I am uniquely qualied to serve as the Roundtable chair. As provided for in the bylaws, the chair and vice chair positions are open to any of the Roundtables participating members. SFOs signicant expansion: SFO has seen a resurgence in the number of ights in recent years, but air trafc has not surpassed pre-9/11 levels. Flights at times are approaching historical highs. Residents and representatives of the city of Brisbane have complained to SFO and the Roundtable about both early left turns and much higher trafc volume at SFO. Roundtable and SFO staffs have been trying to convene the parties to develop possible mitigations for this issue. There are many interested parties and scheduling a meeting has proven difcult. This has been substantial effort, which we hope

    will culminate in better conditions for Brisbane residents. Fines should be imposed: Neither the county of San Mateo nor the Roundtable may impose nes on aircraft operating at SFO. Such powers are reserved to the federal government. Advisory committees for Roundtable members: I would have no objection to having members of the Roundtable be advised by community members. There certainly have been such committees in the past. The Roundtable has no citizen representation: The grand jury wants citizens on the Roundtable, but just not as chair. If the most qualied person for that position is not an elected ofcial, it is up to the members of the Roundtable to make that judgment. Citizens are represented on the Roundtable by their appointed or elected members. A subcommittee of northern San Mateo County cities should be formed on the Roundtable: The authors appear to be suggesting there be two Roundtables one for North County and one for the rest. The Roundtable has operated for 30 years as a cooperative body achieving substantial benets for the citizens of San Mateo County without pitting jurisdictions against each other. The Roundtables mission over the past 30 years is to seek ways to minimize SFOs aircraft noise exposure. The Roundtables record of success is substantial and the people who work on the problems take them very seriously. Unfortunately, the grand jurys report has caused the expenditure of many hours to correct its numerous inaccuracies, which reduces the time spent actually solving problems.
    Richard Newman is the chair of the SFO Community Roundtable. He is a pilot and owns a rm engaged in real estate, business nancing and estate management. He has lived and worked around SFO for 50 years.

    Did you vote for Barack Obama?
    Editor, Did you vote for Barack Obama? How do you feel about that now? Are you condent you will receive your next Social Security check, unemployment check, medicare benets, disability check, welfare check or paycheck? Did you know that President Obama is following a very powerful outline written a few years ago giving him a guide that leads to the downfall of governments like ours. He believes this will fundamentally change America for the good. I think, for the bad. It states that if you shake the religious, moral and nancial foundation of a country, the people will become weak and give in to takeover. When this country was created, the founders warned of just such a situation. They were thinking of the kings of the time. Our threat is not from kings but from within. I believe our president and his followers want to remake our country into something very different than the one of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and James Madison. One not of liberty but of tyranny. Right now, small and large businesses are holding on to job positions that might put you back to work. They are jobs that might pay for your medical or retirement; jobs that would allow you to follow the life dream you have for your family but cant achieve because they cannot hire you. They are not condent or optimistic in the future of this country. If you feel like I do, join me at My Liberty meetings at the American Legion Hall on Palm Avenue in San Mateo every other Thursday at 6 p.m. For more information, visit: MyLibertySanMateo.com.

    t is common thinking that a veto or signing of a piece of legislation by the president signals the nal resolution. But, in reality, that is hardly true. Barely on the radar of most voters and ignored, hopefully, by legislators, is the nal fate is rooted in the will of the people at the ballot box. There, they can repeal such legislation as the health care reform bill by electing a plurality of Congress members and a president who promise to do so. Or, on the other hand, can punish the same for the cutting of entitlements, such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other social programs or for refusing to end the wars in which we are involved abroad. Today, we are witnessing a three-ring circus of political maneuvering, used at times by both major parties: Hold a piece of vital legislation hostage to bargain for some things it could not hope to be passed otherwise. In this case, it is threatening the lifting of the debt limit, vital not because it involves any efforts for new spending or new taxes but to pay for the bills already incurred by this and many previous administrations and to continue to pay out benets already legislated and to foot the ongoing bills and the salaries for the military and its operations. Yet, the Tea Party and its newly elected members to the Congress, some believing there would not be serious consequences in default, are holding veteran Republicans feet to re after 233 of the 240 of them in the House and 40 of the 47 in the Senate signed a pledge to oppose any increases in marginal income tax rates and to protect tax deductions and credits. Historically, however, pledges by candidates, although repeated with sincerity innumerable times on the campaign trail, rarely survive when they bump into the complications of actual governing. Lawmakers who signed this pledge, in addition to promising no new taxes, agreed to oppose any debt limit increase unless it met three conditions: Substantial spending cuts, enforceable spending caps and a constitutional amendment that requires the government to balance its books each year. So the Republicans who signed that pledge have backed themselves into a corner because if they press too hard and cannot come to an acceptable compromise with congressional Democrats and the president, if he decides to exercise the provision in the U.S. Constitution: Fourteenth Amendment, Section 4: The validity of the public debt off the United States shall not be questioned, they have no further recourse and lose all they might have been able to gain by an acceptable compromise. Threats to impeach the president if he chooses to do so are absurd. How can a president be impeached for exercising a constitutional mandate? He could be convicted of malfeasance only if he failed to do so. Collaterally, Obamas base is threatening to abandon him for re-election if he gives in on the need for new tax revenue to be added to negotiated cuts to those elephants in the room, Social Security, Medicare and other social programs to reduce the horrendous national decit, So, his feet are to the re, also. During this session of Congress, it gives great pleasure to some conservative supporters to demonize, insult and wallow in hatred for such as Nancy Pelosi in the House and Harry Reid in the Senate and, of course, the president. But these political gures did not usurp the power by rebellion or coup detat. They, and those who vote with them, assumed ofce and continue to serve at the will of the voters in their respective districts and the nation. If they werent there, someone else would propose programs and execute the will of the majority of the electorate. And a majority of that same electorate can remove them from ofce at regular intervals if they exceed their mandate from the voters. It may not be the programs and policies you or I, alone, believe in but what the aggregate of the electorate wants in a series of votes, over a great period of time. It may not show up in any one election cycle but over time that power trumps whatever the themes of immediate campaigns and the money spent to inuence the course of our nation. At this point in time, one thing does seem to be very apparent. A substantial majority still do not wish their safety net cut and that will, likely, reduce the Republican vote in the 2012 election. That, good or sad, is, clearly, the American way as the Founding Fathers embedded in the process in the Constitution of the United States of America and that is what we will be living with so long as that Constitution endures.

Bond yields rise when their prices fall. If Congress fails to act by Tuesday, the U.S. may not be able to pay all its nancial obligations. That includes interest payments on bonds and the salaries of federal employees. A default on U.S. Treasury debt could wreak havoc on nancial markets and the economy. Many analysts continue to believe a deal to raise the countrys borrowing limit will be made before the Aug. 2 deadline. It seems unlikely that Congress would choose financial Armageddon over some type of compromise, said Joseph S. Tanious, a market strategist with J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Some argue that the markets recent downturn is overshadowing strong corporate earnings reports. They also say the market is ignoring other reasons to believe the economy will bounce back in the second half of the year. Its a very confusing time, but once this cloud lifts, market participants are going to turn around and say, This isnt so bad., said John Canally, an economist with LPL Financial. Its denitely going to be a rocky couple of days. The government reported early Friday that economic growth slowed in the rst half of the year to its weakest pace since the recession ended two years ago. Some investors said that the economic report wasnt as bad as it rst appeared. Phil Orlando, chief strategist at Federated Investors, said that the report was a rearview mirror view of an economy that was struggling with the impact of the earthquake in Japan and high commodity prices. Orlando said he believes that rising corporate prots and a rebound in the auto industry will push stocks higher for the rest of the year.

    The word of the day in nancial markets: Anxious. The Dow Jones industrial average fell nearly 100 points, its sixth straight decline, as the U.S. edged closer to a Tuesday deadline to raise the countrys borrowing limit or risk the prospect of a debt default. A dismal report on U.S. economic growth this spring also pushed stocks lower and sent the yield on the 10-year Treasury note to its lowest level of the year. The combination of bad economic news and growing worries about a possible default was evident in nearly every measure of investor condence: The S&P 500 index had its worst week in a year. The Dow lost 581 points over the past six days. All 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 stock index fell. Gold rose nearly 1 percent to $1,631 an ounce. A measure of stock market volatility, the VIX, rose 6 percent. The cost to protect against a U.S. default within the next year reached a record high. The cost to insure Treasurys for one year jumped 54 percent this week. Analysts said that a spike in short-term Treasury yields provided a clear sign that the market was increasingly worried about a default. Its not panic, but we are pre-positioning in case something goes wrong over the weekend, said Thomas Tzitzouris, head of xed income research at Strategas Research Partners. The Dow started the day sharply lower, falling to 12,083 shortly after the market opened.

    Yahoo settles Alibaba dispute, stock still sinks
    SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo Inc. has settled a dispute tarnishing a key investment in China, but the truce didnt bring much peace of mind to the embattled Internet companys disillusioned shareholders. The complex agreement announced Friday revolves around the spinoff of an online payment service formerly owned by Chinas Alibaba Group, an emerging Internet powerhouse partially owned by Yahoo. Alibaba spun off the payment service, Alipay, earlier this year in a move that Yahoo shareholders didnt learn about until it was disclosed in a May 10 regulatory ling in the U.S. Yahoos shares have lost a quarter of their value since that bombshell, reecting investor concerns that the spinoff had diminished the value of Yahoos 43 percent stake in Alibaba. The settlement will require Alipay to share nearly half its prots with Alibaba. It will culminate in Alipay writing a check of $2 billion to $6 billion to Alibaba if it becomes successful enough to pursue an initial public offering of stock within the next decade. A big chunk of that money eventually could ow to Yahoo and Alibabas other major shareholder, Japans Softbank Corp., which also signed off on the Alipay agreement.

    High oil, gas prices lift Chevron 2Q profit 43 percent


    NEW YORK Chevron Corp. said Friday that prot jumped 43 percent in the second quarter as higher oil and gasoline prices made up for a decline in oil production. The report continued the trend of soaring prots among the major oil companies. The San Ramon oil company reported earnings of $7.7 billion, or $3.85 per share, for the three months ended June 30. That compares with $5.4 billion, or $2.70 per share, in the yearago period. Revenue increased 31 percent to $66.7 billion. Analysts had expected earnings of $3.51 per share, according to FactSet. Chevrons quarterly prot was the largest since it set a company record of $7.9 billion in the third quarter of 2008. It followed similar big gains for other oil giants. Exxon Mobil Corp.s earnings rose 41 percent to $10.7 billion while Royal Dutch Shells prot nearly doubled to $8.7 billion. BP made more than $5 billion in the period following a loss of $17.2 billion last year.

I want to be wrong, but Id rather be safe and do something conservative. I can always move back to those other funds once I have condence. That sentiment was shared by Paula Schmidt, an IT consultant in San Jose, Calif. She sold all her bonds this week and is holding the money in cash until the standoff in Washington is resolved. The only safe thing to do is park my money and wait and see, Schmidt said. Its a free-for-all right now in Congress, and the U.S. and global markets will react negatively. Seeing one of her investments lose $30,000 in a single week during the market meltdown in 2008 still stings. Her retirement savings did not recover until the end of last year. Ofcials in Washington, including Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, have warned that a default could have catastrophic economic consequences.

    Growing nervous as a possible government default draws ever closer, more and more ordinary investors are calling their brokers and moving their money out of stocks and mutual funds for fear of a plunge in the market next week. The stock market declined for a sixth straight day Friday as nancial advisers elded a new round of calls and emails from clients wondering whether to get out or sit tight. Investors pulled about $32 billion out of money-market mutual funds for the week that ended Wednesday, according to fund tracker Lipper Inc. That is just a tiny fraction of the $2.6 trillion invested in such funds. But the exodus appeared to be accelerating at weeks end as Tuesdays deadline for reaching an agreement on Capitol Hill drew near. Im having to talk a lot of people off the rooftops, said Austin Frye, a nancial planner in Aventura, Fla. Until the last few days, he said, clients were reacting very well and not asking to take their money out of stocks. Now they are showing more concern by the day. Sean Sproul, a utility analyst in Columbus, Ohio, shifted all of the money he had in stock mutual funds into the most conservative bond fund

    WASHINGTON The economy is at risk of slipping into another recession. It nearly stalled in the rst six months of the year, the government reported Friday. Economic growth was feeble in the second quarter and practically non-existent in the rst. The new picture of an economy far weaker than most analysts had expected suddenly made a second recession a more serious threat and the threat will rise if Congress cant reach a deal to raise the governments debt limit. The only question now is, how much weaker could things get? says Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS Global Insight. In April, May and June, the economy grew at a 1.3 percent annual rate, below expectations. And the government changed its growth gure for January, February and March to 0.4 percent, far below the previous estimate of 1.9 percent. Combined, the rst half of the year amounts to the worst six-month performance since the Great Recession ofcially ended in June 2009. Over the past year, the gross domestic product the total output of goods and services in the United States, and the broadest measure of the economys health recorded actual growth of 1.6 percent. Since 1950, year-to-year growth has dipped below 2 percent 12 times. Ten of those times, the economy was already in recession or soon fell into one, says Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities.

    Normal economic growth is closer to 3 percent. High gasoline prices leave people with less money to spend on other goods and services. And not all spending on gas contributes to the U.S. economy because some of the money goes to oil-producing countries. GDP gures are also inationadjusted, so spending $1 more for a gallon doesnt mean $1 of additional help to the economy. Manufacturing disruptions from the Japan earthquake, cuts in state and local government and tighter household budgets have weighed down the economy, too. Add to those problems the uncertainty fanned by the political stalemate in Washington, with Republicans refusing to raise the federal governments $14.3 trillion borrowing limit unless Democrats agree to deep federal spending cuts on the GOPs terms. Without an agreement, the Treasury Department says, the government wont have enough money to pay all its bills after Tuesday. It will have to cut spending by about 40 percent and choose which programs and beneciaries receive money and which dont. The dismal second-quarter report led economists to reduce their estimates for growth in the second half of the year. Capital Economics, which had expected the economy to grow 2.5 percent this year, now says 2 percent looks more likely. Joel Naroff of Naroff Economic Advisors says hes waiting until the debt-limit deadline passes to revise his economic forecasts for the rest of 2011. He knows hell scale back his estimates.

    IBM patents

    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    NEW YORK Google Inc. has bought about 1,000 pending and issued patents from IBM Corp. in its quest to shore up its defenses against suits by other technology companies, according to documents led with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Ofce. Google and IBM spokesmen wouldnt comment Friday on the purchase. The patent transfers were recorded two weeks ago and cover a range of technologies, many of which have little to do with Googles Internet search and advertising business. One covers ways of automatically adjusting a clock, another deals with surface treatments for electrical contacts. But even patents that have little do with Googles business can be useful ammunition in the hyper-litigious technology world. If its sued over patents by a company whose business relies on technologies covered by Googles patents, Google can le a retaliatory lawsuit. Phone makers that use Google Inc.s Android software are being sued by Apple Inc. and Microsoft Corp. As a young company, Google has few patents of its own to counter with. Kent Walker, Googles general counsel, wrote in a blog post in April that the explosion in patent litigation threatens to stie innovation.

    Matangi Tongas NFL career off to rough start,but has the talent to make it
    By Nathan Mollat
    DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

    Matangi Tongas foray into the world of professional football got off to a rocky start. The former Aragon and College of San Mateo standout was released by the Dallas Cowboys after he failed his physical. While Tonga did not return a request for a comment, his former high school coach, Steve Sell, who talked to Tonga a few days ago and keeps in touch with his former player, said Tonga suffered a knee injury while playing at University of Houston last season. If there is nothing seriously wrong with his knee, it should only be a matter of time before Tonga latches on with another team as an undrafted free agent. At 6-foot-4 and 275 pounds, Tonga has the size to play on the defensive line, along with the speed, agility and athleticism to play a variety of positions. The San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks all had Tonga work out at fullback as well as defensive line. What happened to him at BYU (Tongas rst stop out of Aragon) and Houston was they needed him to play inside on the nose and be at 290, 295 (pounds). Which was good for the team, but not necessarily good for him, Sell said. What separates him (from others) is his quickness. At 295, I thought he was just another guy. Now, theyre going to try him on the outside. At 275, I think that works out best. Tonga was a three-sport star Aragon, starring in football, basketball and track and eld. It was on

    the football eld where he excelled. Tonga finished his senior year (2005-06) with the Dons by rushing for 837 yards and 20 touchdowns to go along with 11 sacks and 19 tackles for losses. His play earned him a scholarship to Brigham Young University, where he started as a true freshman. He ran into trouble while at BYU and spent the 2007 season at a junior college in Utah. He sat out the 2008 season before returning to San Mateo and enrolling at CSM. In his one year with the Bulldogs, he helped lead them to the state championship game ( a 7-6 loss to Butte in 2009) and garnered junior college All-American honors. He spent last year at Houston, appearing in nine games and nishing with 5.5 tackles for losses and 1.5 sacks. Sell said Tonga told him the 49ers, Packers and Seahawks expressed interest in him, but he put himself on the radar of other teams with his performance on Pro Day, a workout in which college programs showcase their players for NFL scouts. Tonga nished with a 40-yard dash time of 4.79, lightning quick for a player projected as a defensive end. He must have really opened some eyes on Pro Day, Sell said. He was really excited about the Cowboys because they wanted to use him on defense. Defensive linemen, [teams] carry as many as they can. Theyll carry six or seven. This gives him a better chance (to stick with a team). I think there is more of a market

    Athletics play vital role for county junior colleges


    By Nathan Mollat
    DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

    Community colleges across the country are dealing with the harsh realities of tight budgets forcing painful cuts. Under-enrolled/underperforming classes, programs and majors are the rst to go. The San Mateo County Community College District is no exception, as it will eliminate a

    handful of classes for the 2011-12 school year. But the districts athletic programs at the College of San Mateo and Caada and Skyline colleges appear to be safe for the time being. While not immune to all cuts, athletic directors at all three schools say their teams and budgets are set for the upcoming athletic season. Mike Garcia, athletic director at Caada and longtime Colts baseball manager, said the biggest

    adjustments have been made in schedules, as a way to cut down on travel costs. The last three years weve had to cut the (baseball) schedule down, Garcia said. As ADs, we make sure when we do conference scheduling, (we design one) that reduces travel. To that end, Garcia said the schedule for district schools with both mens and womens teams calls for as many doubleheaders as possible to maximize eld and time use.

    Garcia also said the use of many part-time coaches at Caada have trimmed some costs. Athletic departments are examined with a ne-tooth comb to make sure funds and budgets are being used in the best possible way. The Associated Press reported in early July community colleges across the country are being forced to slash athletic teams and programs to conform to new, tighter budgets. The AP reported in Mississippi, a hotbed

    for football, a fth of the junior colleges in the state have cut their football programs. Despite doom and gloom coming from California, the states 109 community colleges have avoided major contractions, with only 40 teams from those schools being suspended or cut. Despite the relative health of the districts athletics, the schools are

    Leday named Menlos new basketball coach


    By Julio Lara
    DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

    As with most unexpected good news, sometimes there comes a moment of disbelief. Take Delandro Leday for example upon learning that he had just been appointed to the head basketball coaching position at Menlo School, the former frosh-soph head coach reacted by saying, Are you serious? Yes, the Knights are denitely serious, making it ofcial Friday morning by naming Leday as the successor to Kris Weems, who took a position with the Golden State Warriors in late June. Leday takes over after spending three season with the Knights frosh-soph team, nishing last year with a record of 17-2. Its truly an honor to continue what coach Weems has started, Leday said. To know the feeling that, Im the guy that will be leading

    the program, its just ecstatic. Everyone in my family is excited because they know this is something that Ive wanted as a coach to be in a position Delandro where we can Leday compete night in and night out. We have a wonderful staff, great parents, the backing of the school; its just a great community. Its a perfect place. Leday takes over a program that went 13-13 last season, including 86 in the West Bay Athletic League and a 1-1 run in the postseason. Delandros deep passion for Menlo and our student-athletes, as well as his experience as a high school coach, made him the best choice to build upon the tremendous program that coach Kris Weems started, said Menlo athletic director Craig Schoof is press release.

    We are extremely excited to have a person with Delandros values and commitment take over the reins from coach Weems. It was a process that started a month ago when Weems accepted a position with the Warriors. Leday said he and Weems met to discuss his decision and the future of Menlos basketball program. Leday, whos been a head coach before (at Irvington High in Fremont), knew hed be a perfect t. Fast forward four weeks and it appears the Knights couldnt have agreed more. One of the advantages I had, even being the frosh-soph coach, is Ive had the honor of coaching every player thats in the program right now with the exception of Richard Harris who was a sophomore when he was moved up to play varsity, Leday said. Its just great knowing that Ive been around all those kids, Im not new to anyone of them, they know what I expect from them and they know what theyre

    going to get from me. So, it makes it easier to move forward with things. Ledays knowledge of the players and the program has him setting his sights on great things. The thing we want to accomplish is, we want to compete. Were going to compete at a high level. When you seen Menlo, youll understand that youre going to be in a ght. Were coming to compete, Leday said. We have a great group of seniors, we have some really good juniors and a great class of freshman who will be sophomores competing at the varsity level as well. Our expectations, we dont set them in terms of number of wins and losses, but we expect to be right there in terms of competing for the championship. And thats all across the board. I know its a high expectation, he said. But its one of those things I tell the kids. One thing I learned about the school is, We Are Menlo, not to sound arrogant, but we hold ourselves to a higher stan-

    dard. I want them to think that thats how we are going to compete. Were not just competing for a league title, rst round playoffs and then were out of there. No. Were coming to compete for everything. Leday spent seven seasons at Irvington, three as the head coach of the program. (Im a) better teacher, (have a) better knowledge of the game. Not being the main guy for two years, I spent that time wisely, watching other coaches, learning the game, watching the game, reading books. I think my overall knowledge of the game has gotten better. One thing I pat myself on the back is that Im a great communicator with the kids. We want to play at St. Marys College on Martin Luther (King) Day, we want to get to that level, Leday said of his goals for the Knight program. To where were playing in those prestigious type of games. We want the reason why people come out to watch you know, Menlos playing.

    Young Bulldog squad prepare for state tourney

    After finishing second in last years American Legion state tournament, the San Mateo Bulldogs return for another go-around in 2011. Things are different this year going into Yountville, but that isnt necessarily a bad thing. Things were good (this regular season), said Bulldogs head coach Jesse Lehane, now in his second season at the helm and a former standout at Serra and College of San Mateo. Our record doesnt show it, but for the most part, we play a lot of 19-under competition at the 17under level. I dont carry any 17-year olds I carry mainly 15, a couple of 14 and a couple of 16s. The record

    The record doesnt reect how weve played,even though we are at .500. The fact that theyve played up (in an older age group) tells me that theyre learning and they are getting themselves to a point where theyre playing up to their competition as opposed to dominating a level to them or below.
    Jesse Lehane,head coach San Mateo American Legion Post 82 Bulldogs U17 team

    doesnt reect how weve played, even though we are at .500. The fact that theyve played up (in an older age group) tells me that theyre learning and they are getting themselves to a point where theyre playing up to their competition as opposed to dominating a level to them or below. Last years team nished the regular season at 29-10 before advancing to the state tournament for the second time in three years. The

    Bulldogs season ended in the championship round against a loaded Vista-Murrieta team that beat up on a by-then depleted pitching staff, 13-4. Were a little bit younger this year, Lehane said. Thats sort of why weve shown it a bit, just not as developed I guess. Last years crew was a good core group, I had nine guys that I knew where they were going every game and they produced. This is a little different. I have a lot more options, which is good.

    But at the same time, not as denitive. There are a lot of different ways I can go I have three or four guys I can bat in the same spot in the lineup, play the same position and I have to take the guy that is hot at a certain time, so thats going to be a little bit of a challenge for me. But like I said, I have to go with the guy that is hot at the time and see what happens. With all his options, Lehane said there are still those mainstays on the Bulldogs squad that will be key to

    their run in Yountville. Shortstop Christian Conci has been the catalyst for San Mateo at the top of the lineup. Hes played in 27 of their 30 games. Hes been my shortstop all summer, Lehane said. He was on base all the time and has continued to get better and better as the weeks went along. Joining him on the ineld has been Grant Goodman, whos pretty much been a lock in the three-hole all summer. Hitting right behind him is Neil Sterling, an incoming sophomore at Serra. Hes batted fourth all summer, hes denitely my biggest RBI guy. Hes been a huge surprise, denitely in a positive way.

    who worked alongside Klinsmann for ESPN at last years World Cup, expects him to inject energy, but notes hes not a miracle worker. Its not as if Juergen all of sudden Klinsmann because Juergen Klinsmann is coach that were going to have an American Lionel Messi drop into our laps, Lalas said. The players are what they are. Its up to him to make sure he has the correct mix of players and to motivate them, to coach them up. For the experienced veterans that are part of the national team setup, this will be a source of motivation and maybe a kick in the pants. Although the federation has discussed the job with Klinsmann in the past, the coachs desire for wide-ranging authority over the entire U.S. program became a point of contention. When you look at where we are and where we should be, Juergen is coming in with a full-blown plan, said former U.S. forward Eric Wynalda, now a commentator for Fox Soccer. Theres a lot of things hes been very adamant about, things he feels need to change. The reluctance from U.S. Soccers point of view to relinquish power was the only piece of red tape in his way. Klinsmann will have a chance to make his mark in the federations youth teams, given current coaching vacancies at the Under-20 team, which failed to qualify for this years World Cup, and the Under-23 team, which soon will start preparations for 2012 Olympic qualifying. The Under-17 team also could face a reassessment after its second-round elimination with a 4-0 loss to Germany at this summers FIFA championship. Germany coach Joachim Loew, who was Klinsmanns assistant before becoming his successor, expects big changes. I am happy for Juergen, that he has found a new challenge and I wish him a lot of success, Loew said. The way we know Juergen, hell go into the job with power and shake up a lot of things. Klinsmann is the rst non-American to coach the national team since Bora Milutinovic (1991-95), who was succeeded by Steve Sampson (1995-98), Bruce Arena (1998-06) and Bradley. I believe he understands the American system as well as anybody, having observed youth development and the professional game in the United States, Sampson said. Klinsmann and his wife, Debbie, live in California with their two children, Jonathan and Laila. His greatest weapon is the fact that he understands the American people more than any other foreign coach possibly could, Wynalda said. If youre going to make the move, hes the perfect choice. Klinsmann, who turns 47 Saturday, has a considerable World Cup pedigree. As a player, Klinsmann scored 11 goals in three World Cups, 1990, 1994 and 1998. That ties him for sixth on the all-time scoring list, just behind Pele. He is an experienced coach and a great former player, Pele said of Klinsmann on Friday in Brazil. Without a doubt he can be a very good coach because of his international experience.

    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    Now that the U.S. Soccer federations perennial coach-in-waiting nally has the job, Juergen Klinsmann will be expected to kick-start a stagnant mens national team. The USSF moved quickly Friday in hiring Klinsmann a day after the ring of Bob Bradley. The former standout player and coach for the German national team will be a familiar name to American fans. The U.S. almost hired Klinsmann twice rst after the 2006 World Cup and again last year before giving Bradley what turned out to be a shortlived contract extension. I am proud and honored to be named the head coach of the U.S. mens national team, Klinsmann said. I would like to thank the U.S. Soccer Federation for the opportunity, and Im excited about the challenge ahead. I am looking forward to bringing the team together for our upcoming match against Mexico and starting on the road toward qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Klinsmann will be introduced Monday at a news conference in New York. His rst game as U.S. coach is Aug. 10 against archrival Mexico in an exhibition in Philadelphia Qualifying for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil begins next June. He is a highly accomplished player and coach with the experience and knowledge to advance the program, USSF President Sunil Gulati said. Juergen has had success in many different areas of the game, and we look forward to the leadership he will provide on and off the eld. Former U.S. defender Alexi Lalas,

    Janish scored on Drew Stubbs grounder to second. The Reds scored twice in the bottom of the rst after the Giants took a 1-0 lead on Beltrans double. The former Mets slugger went 0 for 4 in his Giants debut on Thursday, snapping at 32 his streak of consecutive games in which he reached base at least once.

    In the bottom half, Brandon Phillips hit a sacrice y and Bruce singled to right to put Cincinnati ahead. Willis and Vogelsong both lasted six innings. Willis allowed six hits and two runs with two walks and three strikeout, and hit a batter. Vogelsong gave up seven hits and three runs with two walks and one strikeout. He also hit a batter. NOTES: Willis has gotten at least one hit in each of his four starts since being called up from Triple-A Louisville by the Reds on July 10. ... LHP Barry Zito will start Sunday

    for the Giants, manager Bruce Bochy said Friday. ... Giants LHP Jonathan Sanchez, on the disabled list since June 25 with left biceps tendinitis, will be activated in time to start Aug. 5 against Philadelphia, Bochy said, adding that Sanchez might make one more rehab appearance before then. ... Phillips rstinning RBI was the 500th RBI of his seven-year career. ... Reds SS Zack Cozart, on the disabled list with a hyperextended left elbow, took some swings before Fridays game for the first time since he was injured on July 23.

    Nnamdi Asomugha had a tough choice: the New York Jets or the Dallas Cowboys? Then, the Philadelphia Eagles swooped in and snagged the biggest prize in this years free agent frenzy. The All-Pro cornerback signed a ve-year contract Friday with the Eagles, who gave the former Oakland Raiders star a deal that would pay him $60 million over the life of it, with $25 million guaranteed. The signing came a day after Philadelphia acquired Pro Bowl cornerback Dominique RodgersCromartie from Arizona. The Eagles also formally announced a one-year deal for quarterback Vince Young, a 2006 rst-round pick of Tennessee. Young, who went 30-2 as a starter at Texas and led the Longhorns to a national championship in his nal game there only to have an up-and-down tenure with the Titans, will back up starter Michael Vick. The Indianapolis Colts expect to begin training camp practices Monday without Peyton Manning, who not only is coming off neck surgery, but doesnt have a contract. Coach Jim Caldwell said the star quarterback is not ready right now and that the team will turn him loose when he is ready to play. Manning is in the midst of negotiations on a new contract that Colts owner Jim Irsay says will make the four-time league MVP the highestpaid player in NFL history. Manning has never missed a start the streak is at 227, including playoffs, the longest active one in the league. Ive told him to be as cautious as he needs to be because the last time I checked, we dont count preseason games, Pro Bowl center Jeff Saturday said. I can tell you this, theres not a player that works harder than he does. At Patriots camp, Chad Ochocinco was wearing his usual number 85 at practice, one day after

    being traded by the Cincinnati Bengals. Ochocinco, a reference to the Spanish words for the numbers 8 and 5, legally changed his name from Peyton Johnson before Manning the 2008 season. On Friday, he had the number worn last year by rookie tight end Aaron Hernandez, who hasnt practiced following hip surgery in February. Hernandez was on the eld wearing shorts with the number 81. Fans cheered when Ochocinco took the eld for the afternoon session. Ive watched him for a long time, quarterback Tom Brady said. He brings a lot of energy to the team. The verbose Ochocinco didnt speak with reporters, although the Patriots officially announced the trade for undisclosed draft considerations on Friday. They still hadnt announced the trade for Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth. New England did release seven players, including defensive end Ty Warren, tight end Alge Crumpler and offensive tackle Nick Kaczur. All carried salary cap numbers of at least $3 million. Also released were linebacker Tully Banta-Cain, defensive lineman Marcus Stroud, cornerback Tony Carter and linebacker Ryan Coulson. The Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers released Mark Tauscher, a xture at right tackle for the better part of a decade, along with linebackers Nick Barnett, Brandon Chillar and Brady Poppinga and defensive lineman Justin Harrell. At Spartanburg, S.C., No. 1 draft pick Cam Newton signed a deal with the Carolina Panthers and was attending team meetings. The Panthers said on Twitter that the quarterback had ofcially signed on the dotted line.

    same, a lot of the sayings are the same, some similar items up in the locker room and facility. It really does go back to his playing days, which werent that long ago. The 49ers have their share of holes to ll before the Jim Harbaugh rst exhibition game after losing a handful of familiar faces in recent days: center Eric Heitmann, kicker Joe Nedney, cornerback Nate Clements and backup quarterback David Carr all were released. Linebacker Takeo Spikes and offensive lineman David Baas have departed, too. Its good to be back, Harbaugh said. I like being in the chaos of this. Running back Frank Gore was a no-show for the rst workout as expected, apparently fullling his plan to hold out for a new contract. The two-time Pro Bowl selection, in the nal year of his current deal, is healthy again after going down with a season-ending fractured hip in a Monday night game at Arizona last Nov. 29. Gore, who avoided surgery, ran for 853 yards and three touchdowns in his sixth NFL season and caught 46 passes for 452 yards and two TDs. Gores 24 100-yard rushing games are the most in 49ers franchise history. Two other key offensive contributors are on the sidelines for now: Smith and wide receiver Michael Crabtree. Smith is unable to practice until Aug. 4 under the new labor deal, while Crabtree is on the physically unable to perform list nursing a left foot injury. He was in a walking boot on the practice eld, and Harbaugh declined to speculate when Crabtree might return or elaborate on details of the injury. Its frustrating because they are some key components, tight end Vernon Davis said. Getting the roster sorted out soon will be paramount. San Francisco has failed to post a winning record or make the playoffs since 2002. Im not getting any younger, four-time Pro Bowl linebacker Patrick Willis said. Its about now and tomorrow. Not about trying to develop and become. Harbaugh understands the urgency. He welcomes fans with a video clip on the team Web site, with the words Game On in the background. Its exciting to get going and just feed off his energy. He has a lot of energy, wide receiver Josh Morgan said. Cornerback Shawntae Spencer is busy cramming to pick up the nuances of San Franciscos defensive playbook, happy not to be pulling the pads on just yet. He knows there will be high expectations for a team that planned to be a con-

    Harbaugh finally takes field as 49ersnew coach


    By Janie McCauley
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    SANTA CLARA A hyped-up Jim Harbaugh bounced from drill to drill, observing the offensive line, quarterbacks and special teams units in a 25-minute span as his rst practice in charge of the San Francisco 49ers began at last. Harbaughs staff set up hurdles on the eld for Day 1 of his rst training camp as an NFL coach. The weight room is now outside and right at the ready. Motivational banners hang from different areas around team headquarters, some featuring the very words Harbaugh used during a successful stint at nearby Stanford. A lot of energy, up-tempo, guys were ying around, moving, quarterback Alex Smith, an observer for now after signing a new one-year free agent contract, said of Harbaughs debut. A lot of enthusiasm. A lot of emotion. You can just see it kind of just pours out of him. He loves being out here, he loves coaching, he loves the game of football. A new era began Friday for a franchise that is counting on Harbaugh a 15-year NFL quarterback himself to change the culture and turn San Francisco back into a winner. And fast. The Niners are paying him $5 million a year to make that happen, and Harbaugh faces the daunting task of not only meeting many of his players for the rst time but also preparing them in a matter of weeks for their preseason opener Aug. 12 at New Orleans. Rookie Chase Beeler, an undrafted center out of Stanford, might be the player with the most knowledge on the new coach. Frankly, it feels just like were back at Stanford, Beeler said. First day of meetings, rst day on the eld, the mannerisms are the

    tender a year ago. The 49ers went unbeaten last preseason and had hopes of winning the NFC West, but instead began 0-5 and nished a disappointing 6-10. They endured their worst start since losing seven straight to begin a 2-14 season in 1979, in the late Hall of Fame coach Bill Walshs rst year. Now, even more change under Harbaugh, who was lured away from the Orange Bowlwinning Stanford program to replace the red Mike Singletary in a high-prole recruiting process by team president Jed York and new general manager Trent Baalke. Its English and Spanish. Everything is different as far as the terminology, so we have to completely put aside everything we had for the last six years here, Spencer said. Its like learning a new language. First you have to learn the terminology.

    Raiders move on without Asomugha TONGA


    Continued from page 12
    By Josh Dubow
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    NAPA The NFL free agency period ofcially opened Friday with the Oakland Raiders losing their top free agent in All-Pro cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha and closing in on a deal to shore up their offensive line. While Asomugha was nalizing his ve-year, $60 million contact with the Philadelphia Eagles that included $25 million in guaranteed money, free agent offensive tackle Jared Gaither was at the Raiders facility watching practice and being checked out by team doctors. Coach Hue Jackson said nothing would be finalized with Gaither until the Raiders were assured he was healthy. Gaither missed all last season with a back injury. Asomughas departure was ofcial soon after free agents were allowed to sign with teams, but was expected since February when the Raiders gave a big contract to cornerback Stanford Routt and did not sign Asomugha before the lockout. Im very happy for him, and we wish him well, but, as Ive always said, its next man up for us, Jackson said. We have some very good players here and, again, Im happy for him but Ive got to really concentrate on this football team and try to get this team to be the best that it can be. Asomugha was Oaklands best player in recent years, consistently locking up one side of the eld in a key aspect of the Raiders man-to-

    man defense. Asomugha signed a $45.3 million, threeyear contract in February 2009 that made him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history. Nnamdi He was paid Asomugha $28.5 million in the rst two years of the contract before the nal year voided because he did not reach certain benchmarks. According to STATS LLC, Asomugha allowed 52 receptions and one touchdown the past three seasons, burnishing his reputation as one of the top shutdown cornerbacks in the NFL. His departure leaves a big void in Oaklands secondary. The Raiders gave their other starting cornerback from last season a big contract in the offseason, signing Routt to a three-year, $31.5 million deal with $20 million guaranteed over the rst two years of the deal. I know you as the media, you all are going to go ahead and put a media target on my back, but as far as like anything else, its football, Routt said. You guard the guy that youre lined up against. It is what it is. Routt allowed just 39.4 percent of passes he was targeted on to be completed. That was a vast improvement from the 62.7 percent mark he posted in his rst ve seasons. Last years performance was hunger to win and how to play the game the right way. On the mound, Lehane has used a variety of arms. In Yountville, the bulk of the work will fall on the shoulders of Michael Valdes, who has a no-hitter under his belt this summer, and RJ Hansen. That kid (Valdes) is always ready to pitch, Lehane said. Matt Blais will also see considerable time on the bump. He hasnt pitched a lot of innings, Lehane said. But when Ive needed him, hes been nails. With a younger squad, and 10 less games, Lehane made it a case this

    the lowest in the league of any player targeted at least 60 times and was comparable to the numbers put up by Asomugha (39.4 percent), and Jared Gaither New York Jets star Darrelle Revis (33.9 percent). With Asomugha gone, former starter Chris Johnson will likely move back in the lineup and the Raiders will also likely take a close look at four cornerbacks drafted the past two seasons: 2010 picks Walter McFadden and Jeremy Ware and DeMarcus Van Dyke and Chimdi Chekwa from this year. Hes played in some big games for us and he knows how to play, Jackson said of Johnson. Were very comfortable and condent in his abilities. We got some good young players behind those guys and on we go. Thats just part of it. I feel very comfortable and very good about the players that we have here. The Raiders are looking to bolster their offensive line, which is why Gaither is here. The 6-foot-9, 340pound Gaither is a proven commodity at tackle, where the Raiders currently have second-year player Jared Veldheer on the left side and rookies competing on the right side. Jackson is quite familiar with Gaither, having been an offensive assistant in Baltimore for two years with him. Hes a tremendous player, season to schedule stiffer competition for his team knowing all too well that come Yountville time, the stakes would be raised. We pretty much compare it to the 19-under stuff weve seen throughout the summer, he said. They know the competition is there. Im sure well see a couple of teams we saw at Chico which had a good group of 17-under teams. And if you look across the board in California as you move South, theres always good competition. We play that competition because I want to see them grow and develop as players. I want them all to see what its like to be able to

    Jackson said. When hes healthy, hes one of the better left tackles in the league. He has extremely long arms, very tall, very long. Hes a good football player. Again, theres a question of health, and were going to do everything that we need to do to make sure that we know exactly where he is. Gaither was taken by Baltimore in the fth round of the 2007 supplemental draft after being declared academically ineligible at Maryland. Gaither started two games as a rookie before becoming the starter at left tackle for the Ravens in 2008. Gaither started 26 games for Baltimore in 2008-09, allowing eight sacks, according to STAT. Gaither missed the nal ve games in 2009 with a foot injury and then was slated to be moved to right tackle last season before missing the entire year with a back injury. He is a physical player, has great feet and I think he can help this team out if he comes here, Raiders linebacker Kamerion Wimbley said. He has ability, and he has the tools to make it tough on his opponents. When you are trying to rush, his long arms denitely create space. He has the ability to reset and things like that. Quick hands, quick feet, strong guy - those are the things you look for in an offensive tackle. The Raiders also announced deals to retain two of their own free agents in linebacker Jarvis Moss and long snapper Jon Condo. Both players were at the facility Friday but will not be allowed to practice until Aug. 4. take things out of certain games to better themselves. In the end, win or lose, Lehane knows his boys will learn a lot from the experience. I always go back to the fact that its for the kids, he said. I want them to use this as a learning tool, not just for this summer baseball, its more than a baseball lesson. I want them to be able to understand, to focus on each pitch and be able to learn something that will help them as a baseball players and as people for the future more than just winning a baseball game. I always come back to the fact that its for the kids.

    Weekend July 30-31, 2011

    SPORTS
    CSM, baseball facilities at all three schools and the remodel of the Skyline gym, in addition to new soccer elds at Caada and Skyline. It has made all three schools destination options for local athletes. Each of the improvements were made without using bond money, Christensen said. Were all pretty healthy in this district because of our (district) leaders, said Dino Nomicos, assistant athletic director and baseball manager at Skyline. We dont offer a lot of sports. The only sport we offer at all three (schools) is baseball. And that is a very healthy sport. Our numbers are good at all three. Our mission for our district is to move them (student-athletes) on (to four-year schools). If you start dropping sports, I think that will hurt schools. Ron Galatolo, chancellor of San Mateo County Community College District, thinks very highly of the role athletics play in developing a well-rounded student. If the districts mission is to transfer all students on to the next level, he said they need all the support they can get. I was an intercollegiate athlete myself, so I understand intercollegiate athletics, Galatolo said. What our coaches have done here and I mean all our coaches is they have made it very clear to our student-athletes they are athletes but they are academic learners, too. Wolf said the fact athletics matriculates a majority of their student-athletes to four-year institutions means it costs less money for the district than the regular student who takes three years or more to transfer. Our student-athletes get in and get out in two years, Wolf said. We continue to promote this data. Our student-athletes are not just athletes. They are taking their course work to move on.

    THE DAILY JOURNAL


    because there are people out there who dont believe in athletics. We are a lab for life. You dont get that anywhere else. When student-athletes get through the system and get into the workforce, theyre punctual, focused and disciplined. Galatolo nds it personally offensive that legislators believe there is no redeeming value to college athletics and that athletics carry less weight or impact than a math or science class. I think there are people in power who look at it as, Its just a game, Galatolo said. I nd it offensive that legislators feel that those types of thing, such as athletics and/or physical education, and/or art are not as worthy as history or math. They all have valid vocations (for those classes). Garcia has been through budget constraints before, having worked and coached at Caada for 27 years. This is Garcias fourth stint as athletic director and hes seen more dire predictions in the past. In [1999-2001 year] there was taking about consolidating programs one baseball team, one mens soccer team (in the district). The rumor was out there, Garcia said. They havent gotten to talking about that in this crisis. For Galatolo, the bottom line is funding those classes that have demand. Right now, there is a high demand for athletic teams in the countys community college district. When that demand disappears, there is a good chance that sport or class will disappear as well. If I have 40 students in a Pilates class and only ve in a history class, Pilates is staying, Galatolo said. If I have 40 students in a history class and only ve in Pilates, history is staying.

    COLLEGE
    Continued from page 12
    essentially working on an annual basis. There is no guarantee the budget in place this year wont be in place next year. (All college programs are) being evaluated on a year-to-year basis because the budget is changing, said Barbara Christensen, director of Community and Government Relations for the San Mateo County Community College District. Many opponents believe the first place schools should look to make cuts is in athletics. Many look at athletics both in high school and college as an extra-curricular activity, that doesnt really need to be funded if it means cutting other programs.

    Evidence supports argument


    College of San Mateo Athletic Director Andreas Wolf has the facts and numbers to support Nomicos statement. If nothing else, the way the district approaches athletics makes it cost-effective to keep athletics intact. Weve done a pretty good job of educating our executives (in the district) about how successful our student-athletes are, Wolf said. We basically have documented [evidence] identifying the success of our student athletes. Their success academically. We continue to make the case our students are successful in the classroom and we represent a large number of under-represented (ethic) groups. Athletics is the glue that keeps them (athletes) in the academic environment.

    Legitimate classes
    No matter what one thinks about college athletics, at their basic level they are, technically, a class offered by the school. Just as under-enrolled classes in the math or science departments are scrutinized, so are underenrolled, low-performing athletic teams. The main objective of community colleges is to prepare students to move to four-year universities and earn their degree whether it be math, science or basketball. The San Mateo County Community College District embraced athletics and poured funding into massive renovations at all three schools installing a new football facility at

    Everyone on the same page


    Wolf credits the entire district in general, and the coaches in particular, as promoting the districts mission of transferring all students whether athletes or not to four-year schools. Education is rst, athletics second, but it equals an opportunity in life, Garcia said. I told every high school recruit from 1983 to 2002 (his tenure as Colts baseball manager), come play at Caada and play two more years while getting your education. Said Wolf: Its going to be a constant battle

    New mileage standards aim for less fuel,pollution


    WASHINGTON President Barack Obama and automakers ushered in the largest cut in fuel consumption since the 1970s on Friday with a deal that will save drivers money at the pump and dramatically cut heat-trapping gases coming from tailpipes. The agreement pledges to double overall fuel economy to 54.5 mpg by 2025, bringing even greater under-the-hood changes to the nations autos starting in model year 2017 and introduce more electric and hybrid technology to pickup trucks. Cars and trucks on the road today average 27 mpg. This agreement on fuel standards represents the single most important step we have taken as a nation to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, Obama said, sharing the stage with top executives of 11 major automakers and a top automobile workers union official, before a backdrop of some of the most cutting-edge cars and pickup trucks on the road. Just as cars will go further on a gallon of gas, our economy will go further on a barrel of oil, Obama said. When achieved, the 54.5 mpg target will reduce U.S. oil consumption from vehicles by 40 percent and halve the amount of greenhouse gas pollution coming out of tailpipes. It builds on a 2009 deal between the Obama administration and automakers, which committed cars and trucks to averaging 35.5 mpg by model year 2016. For American families, the president said the agreement which will be subject to a midcourse review means filling up the car every two weeks, instead of every week. That would save $8,000 in fuel costs over the life of a vehicle purchased in 2025, compared to a 2010 model, a White House analysis said. The changes also are likely to push up the cost of a new vehicle, but just how much is unclear because the regulation still has to be written. That process will get started in September. The mileage target announced Friday isnt exactly what consumers will see in their future cars. A formula that gives credits to manufacturers for electric cars, the use of low-emission air conditioning refrigerant and technology that shuts down engines at traffic lights means the actual fuel economy is likely to come in closer to about 40 mpg. Stickers on future cars and trucks will also display different numbers because theyll be based on real-world mileage tests.

    Ultraconservative Muslims dominate Egypt protest
    CAIRO Tens of thousands of ultraconservative Muslims in long beards, robes and prayer caps thronged Cairos central Tahrir Square in a massive show of force Friday, calling for the implementation of strict Islamic laws and sparring with liberal activists over their visions for a post-revolution Egypt. It was the rst rally with religious overtones in Egypt, and one of the largest, since the uprising that forced President Hosni Mubarak to step down in mid-February. The strong showing by the Islamists demonstrated their powerful organizational abilities, which will likely help them in parliamentary elections later this year. Islamic. Islamic. Not Western or Eastern. No liberal or secular, chants of Salas, who follow a strict form of Islam, echoed through the square. Others shouted: With our soul and blood we defend you Islam.

    Eying support,Venezuelas Chavez urges moderation


    CARACAS, Venezuela Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is making an abrupt political shift. Hes urging his socialist movement to reach out to the middle class and small business owners. Chavez says his party should seek middle class support as it prepares for the presidential election in late 2012. He says that he and his allies have to reect and make changes in their stances. He tells state television he has no plans to expropriate small businesses and says his government should, in his words, open ourselves up to those sectors.

    BENGHAZI, Libya The Libyan rebels military commander was killed by his comrades while in custody after he was arrested by the oppositions leadership on suspicion of treason, witnesses said Friday, in a sign of disarray that posed a major setback for the movement battling Moammar Gadha. The slaying of Abdel-Fattah Younis raised fear and uncertainty in Benghazi, the de facto rebel capital. Thousands marched behind his cofn, wrapped in the rebels tricolor ag, to the graveyard for his burial, chanting that he was a martyr beloved by God. Troops red a military salute as the cofn arrived, and angry and grieving supporters red wildly into the air with automatic weapons. At the graveside, Younis son, Ashraf, broke down, crying and screaming as they lowered the body into the ground and in a startling and risky display in a city that was the rst to shed Gadhas rule nearly six months ago pleaded hysterically for the return of the Libyan leader to bring stability. We want Moammar to come back! We want the green ag back! he shouted at the crowd, referring to Gadhas national banner. Younis slaying appeared to shake both the rebels leadership body, the National Transitional Council, and its Western allies, who have heavily backed the rebels controlling most of eastern Libya. Two weeks ago, 32 nations

    Libyan rebel ghters urge their comrades to begin a push to the front line near the town of Nalut in western Libya.
    including the U.S. made a major commitment by formally recognizing the opposition as the countrys legitimate government a signicant boost after many allies hesitated in part because the rebels, a mix of tribes and factions, were largely an unknown quantity. Those Western worries will likely be deepened if Younis slaying opens major splits among the fractious rebels. Divisions would also weaken the oppositions campaign to oust Gadha, which has largely stalled in a deadlock despite the four-month-old NATO bombing campaign against regime forces. In Washington, State Department spokesman Mark Toner said the circumstances of Younis death remained unclear, but he pressed the opposition to shore up any cracks in their front against Gadha. Whats important is that they work both diligently and transparently to ensure the unity of the Libyan opposition, Toner said. Younis body was found Thursday, dumped outside Benghazi, along with the bodies of two colonels who were his top aides. They had been shot and their bodies burned. Younis was Gadhafis interior minister until he defected to the rebellion early in the uprising, which began in February, bringing his forces into the opposition ranks. His move raised hopes among rebels and Western allies that the uprising could succeed in forcing out the countrys ruler of more than four decades. But some rebels remained deeply suspicious that he retained loyalties to Gadha. The National Transitional Council says it is investigating the killing. It blamed unidentied gunmen and has made no conrmation that Younis had been arrested. It has said only that Younis was gunned down on route to Benghazi, where he had been summoned to discuss a military matter.

    Burial or Cremation: Why does this matter?


    By Paul Larson
    MILLBRAE Are you ever asked the question: Burial or Cremation? Im sure youve thought about this but have you ever seriously thought about this? It is tough for some of us to give this topic the time of day but for many more of us this is a topic of curiosity, and also a topic we will need to deal with at some point in our lives. Burial or Cremation is always a personal choice but did you know that in the long run there is little difference between the two, also a BIG difference but not in the way you think? In the eyes of the state both Burial and Cremation are considered a form of final disposition. Still, it is not that simple. A basic explanation would be this: Burial is a final location; Cremation is a step to a final location. What does this mean? In scenario number one: following a visitation & funeral service the deceased is taken to a specific cemetery to be placed in either a ground burial location or a mausoleum space BUT in a second scenario: following that same visitation & funeral service the deceased would be taken to a crematory to complete the cremation process. When the cremated remains are ready a choice would be needed by the next of kin on whether the cremated remains are to be buried in a cemetery, scattered at sea, taken home, etc. So, when Cremation is selected, Burial can still be the final disposition following the cremation, among other choices. People dont deal with this topic every day, and I know that it is imagined by some that Cremation means the deceased is taken away and will just disappear. That is never the case, and there is always the necessity to properly give the deceased a final resting place. The state legally requires it, and the funeral home is mandated to complete & file necessary paperwork reflecting it prior to any final disposition. I know all this may seem complicated, but it is our job as Funeral Directors to make it all very simple and guide you every step of the way. It is our duty to support families as they maneuver through a sometimes daunting situation and unfamiliar territory, and to provide various options on what is available. Many prefer to make pre-need arrangements years in advance so choices can be made in a more relaxed atmosphere. Pause and imagine yourself as the next of kin following the death of a loved one and being asked the question Burial or Cremation?. Can you knowledgeably answer that? It may be a good idea to at least give the question some thought now. Ive served a few families in the past who couldnt answer that question and ended up making a quick decision they later regretted. It wont hurt to let this topic cross your mind, or even to discuss this question with your family, loved ones, clergy or those who give you support. Look back at your family traditions and use that as a guide. Its important for those who care to have a way to say farewell, and for many to have a place to go following the funeral as a way to visit and begin the healing process. If you ever wish to discuss cremation, funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650) 588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you in a fair and helpful manner.

The Devils Double presents two excellent performances from British actor Dominic Cooper as unhinged party boy and allaround nut job Uday Hussein, along with the body double he uses to thwart assassins.

    Appeals court sides with J.Lo in home video fight
    LOS ANGELES A California appeals court says a dispute between Jennifer Lopez and her first husband over the release of intimate home videos should be handled through arbitration, not the public court system. A ruling Friday by the 2nd District Court of Appeal states that a Los Angeles judge erred by not granting Lopezs request to move the case to arbitration. The ruling states Lopez has a valid agreement with ex-husband Ojani Noa and his agents preventing him from releasing any private or intimate details about the couples relationship. Lopez and Noa wed in 1997. Their marriage lasted just 11 months.

    Linda Ronstadt to write memoir


    NEW YORK Linda Ronstadt broke barriers for women as one of the top-selling artists of her generation, and shes going to detail how she did it in a new memoir for Simon & Schuster. The book publisher announced Thursday that it had acquired her autobiography, titled Heart Like a Wheel, after her Grammywinning, multiplatinum album. In a statement, Simon & Schuster said: Few singers have been as wide-ranging or distinctive in their artistry.

    MARCO BREUER: LINE OF SIGHT. San Franciscos de Young Museum presents Marco Breuer: Line of Sight, a display of work by an artist known for using an extensive range of processes to extract abstract and visually compelling images from photographic materials. Line of Sight comprises a selection of photographs made by Breuer and placed in dialogue with objects from the de Youngs permanent collection. Selected and installed by the artist in a compressed time period of 48 hours, Line of Sight sets up a dynamic exchange between the works of art, the collecting practices of the de Young, and the viewing habits of museum visitors. The single-gallery exhibition is part of the Collection Connections program of Cultural Encounters. Through Oct. 2. SURFACE TENSION. With Surface Tension: Contemporary Prints from the Anderson Collection, the de Young shows works that demonstrate ways in which the print can be viewed as a form of bas-relief and sculpture, from the inkless embossing of Josef Albers to the work of artists like Ann Hamilton and Frank Stella who literally stretch their paper surfaces into the round. In an era of modern and postmodern art that is often concerned with expressing its essential qualities of atness and depthlessness, some artists engaged in making prints at ne arts presses have headed in a different direction. Rather than embrace the smooth, at nish that can be achieved through print processes like screenprinting and lithography, these artists manipulated the dimensionality of their works on paper, literally pushing their paper surfaces to new heights. Though their

    approaches vary, all of the artists included in this exhibition challenge the traditional belief that editions on paper are merely made up of layers of ink impressed upon paper. Through Jan. 15, 2012. The de Young Museum is located in Golden Gate Park, 50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive, San Francisco. Docent tours for both Marco Breuer: Line of Sight and Surface Tension: Contemporary Prints from the Anderson Collection are given on Saturdays and Sundays.

    Oprah Winfrey, Chairman, CEO, and Chief Creative Ofcer of OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network, speaks during the OWN session at the 2011 Summer Television Critics Association Cable Press Tour in Beverly Hills.

    Winfrey to host series recycling her old show


    By Lynn Elber
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    BEVERLY HILLS Oprah Winfrey is repackaging her now-ended daytime talk show to make it a key part of the lineup for OWN, her struggling cable channel. Winfrey said Friday she will host the new series that will recycle episodes of The Oprah Winfrey Show as a classroom intended to help viewers improve their lives. The show, titled Own Your Life, will air weekdays at 8 p.m. ET starting Oct. 10. Appearing at a session of the Television Critics Association to announce the revamped series and introduce Rosie ODonnell and her new OWN show, Winfrey took the opportunity to reinforce her commitment to the channel. Friends ask, Are you enjoying your time in the Mediterranean? Winfrey said. But shes not on holiday, she said, Im here, and working in the Los Angeles ofces of OWN. It was announced earlier this month that Winfrey was expanding her role at OWN beyond the position of chairman, taking on the

    additional roles of chief executive ofcer and chief creative ofcer. Winfrey is claiming the title once held by Christina Norman, the former CEO who was dismissed in May in the wake of disappointing ratings for the channel. Normans position has been lled in the interim by Peter Liguori, the chief operating officer for Discovery Communications. OWN, which premiered Jan. 1, is a joint venture of Discovery and Winfreys Harpo Inc. Since Winfreys syndicated talk show ended in May, she has pledged to devote her full energies to OWN. Acknowledging OWNs rocky start, Winfrey said Friday that one of her biggest concerns was aligning the channels executive teams, and now we have done that. She cited the help of two executives who are with her Chicago-based production company, Harpo: Sheri Salata and Erik Logan, who share the title of OWN president. Putting Winfrey on camera, as well as more prominently at the companys helm, is an attempt to turn around OWNs fortunes.

    s surely as night follows day, time marches on and there are new movies to be reviewed. As an avid lm buff, I keep a list of all the movies I see in theaters each year along with a short recap and a grade. As I look back over my list of 2011 so far, I notice that its been a rather weak year. There are very few movies that have really stuck with me and many would have faded had I not put them on my list. That being said, here are my ve bests so far (including some from 2010 that I saw in 2011). 1). The Fighter: Even though I dislike boxing, this was extremely well done and compelling, and was certainly Oscar-worthy. 2). Of Gods and Men: A group of Trappist monks have to decide whether or not to stay in Algeria during the terrorist uprisings of 1996. A real sleeper. 3). Midnight in Paris: Woody Allens back on track a real winner and its doing well at the box ofce. 4) A Better Life: This lm should be seen by anyone who cares about the immigration issue. A real heart-breaker. 5). Buck: A fascinating, uplifting documentary about the horse whisperer who inspired the Robert Redford lm of the same name not just about horses, but about the owners as well! To be sure, there are always lots of bad lms. Trying not to be a masochist, I try to avoid as many of these bombs as I can, but sometimes I still get caught seeing one. And sometimes its fun as a reviewer to have the power to trash a real stinker. However, since I have screened out (for myself) such obvious ones as Hangover 2 (I hated the rst one, why would I subject myself to another?) and Bridesmaids (I heard from some reliable sources that it was a total gross-out), my list should actually be called disappointments. Here are my ve disappointments so far this year: 1). Blue Valentine: I expected to really love this one. I am a total fan of Ryan Gosling (who wouldnt after The Notebook?) and the critics raved. I found it chaotic and a lot shallower than I expected, even though the acting was good.

    2011: The best and worst movies so far A

    2). Certied Copy: I just didnt get this lm at all. Juliet Binoche is great, and the premise was sort of interesting (whats real, whats not) but it was muddled and ultimately didnt work. 3). The Beaver: The lm was so depressing and bleak that even Mel Gibsons totally stellar performance couldnt save this brave look at mental illness at its most painful. Thats a shame, because Jodi Foster and Mel Gibson were trying so hard to do such a great lm 4). Beginners: The trailer for this lm was really engaging and Ewan MacGregor and Christopher Plummer are rst rate actors. Youd think thered be more to this lm, but most of the substance was in the trailer and the dogs cuteness and human asides took center stage. I wanted more. 5). Larry Crowne: I went to see it because I love Tom Hanks, even though I had a feeling this wasnt going to be much. I was right. It was pleasant but I forgot about it two minutes later. Sorry, Tom, you should go back to acting (he co-wrote the script with Nia Vardalos, the gal from My Big Fat Greek Wedding). Well, there you have it a rather slight movie year so far. Lets hope that Oscar season will once again deliver a healthy dose of excellent movie fare! One nal sad note: The demise of two more art houses in San Francisco the Red Vic (closed this week with a nale of Harold and Maude) and the upcoming likely closure of the Balboa. These theaters will be missed, at least by me.

    should do well with family audiences. Captain America debuted in first place last weekend with $65 million and has been a solid midweek warrior with more than $85 million deposited in Americas treasury through Tuesday, its sixth day of release. The film should easily pass the $100 million mark in North America this weekend, when it also opens wide overseas. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 from Warner Bros. should maintain its money-making magic, placing fourth at about $20 million domestically and likely setting still another record on Saturday when it could cross the $1 billion mark internationally after just 16 days in release. This would beat Avatars 17-day sprint to $1 billion in 2009 with the usual help from ticket-price inflation, of course. The debuting Crazy Stupid Love from Warner Bros. offers summer audiences something different: a PG-13 comedy in a season thats been dominated by no less than five R-rated comedies. Featuring a strong ensemble cast that includes Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, the date crowd will find much to love in this crazy mix of comedy and drama, giving it a not-so-stupid fifth-place gross approaching $18 million.

    Five favorite Ford performances


    McGillis as the boys mother. LOS ANGELES Were going to cheat a little bit with this weeks Five Most list. Because any discussion of Harrison Fords best performances has to include the iconic roles of Han Solo and Indiana Jones. Theyre just a given. So were revisiting five other performances that have stood out over his varied, 40-year film career. His best days may be behind him, but moments still shine through when he proves hes still got it: that mix of superstar charisma and everyman relatability, heroism and irony. With Ford co-starring in Cowboys & Aliens this week, heres a look back at some of his finest work:

    LOS ANGELES The mash-up Cowboys & Aliens will likely mean a smack-down for a superhero and some Smurfs this weekend, with the Universal/Dreamworks scifi/Western expected to open with a gross of between $40 million and $45 million at more than 3,700 theaters in North America. Starring Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig, directed by Iron Mans Jon Favreau, and with Steven Spielberg among its producers, this truly original film defies categorization and industry projections for its opening have varied. Yet awareness is very high for the film, which had its world premiere at Comic-Con this past weekend, and the fan-boy factor should carry it to victory, despite weak reviews. A superhero vs. Smurf smackdown in the $30 million range is expected for the weekends No. 2 spot as Paramount/Marvels Captain America: The First Avenger tries to maintain some of last weekends opening glory against PG newcomer The Smurfs. Starring Neil Patrick Harris, the Sony 3-D film based on the wildly popular Smurfs comic books and the 1980s animated TV series is the very definition of cute and

    The Fugitive (1993):


    This is one of those regularHarrison Ford guy-in-danger roles that are Fords bread and butter. Based on the 1960s TV series, the film stars Ford as Dr. Richard Kimble, who was wrongly convicted of killing his wife. When the bus hes riding in crashes on the way to prison, he makes his escape. His intensity, paranoia and fear are palpable. But Ford also functions as the straight man here compared to Tommy Lee Jones as the quick-witted lead investigator on his tail. Both performances give the film a depth beyond the usual summer chase thriller. But that contrast also sets up this classic exchange once their paths cross: I didnt kill my wife. I dont care.

    able in playing a character who becomes supremely unlikable, even to the family thats supposed to love him. Then again, the script was adapted by Paul Schrader, an expert in the mind of the tormented man.

    Blade Runner (1982):


    Ridley Scotts film is a sci-fi classic, and Ford anchors it with stoic, film-noir cool. He stars as Rick Deckard, a retired Los Angeles detective in the year 2019 whos called back into duty to seek out and terminate rebel replicants. Based on a Philip K. Dick novel, Blade Runner is all about mood and production design a dank, futuristic dystopia thats since become hugely influential. But Ford brings a much-needed sense of complex humanity to this dark spectacle.

    Witness (1985):
    Its sort of baffling, but this is only film for which Ford has earned an Oscar nomination; maybe hes just so good at what he does, he makes it look effortless. In director Peter Weirs thriller, he plays a police detective who goes into hiding in Amish country to protect a young boy who witnessed a murder. Hes tough and hes smart, but as he grows more comfortable in this foreign community, he also proves he can milk a cow and raise a mean barn. And as we know from the Indiana Jones movies, Ford can wear a hat any kind of hat and make it look sexy. He also reveals a tender and understated side in the smoldering chemistry he enjoys with Kelly lmmakers take liberties to heighten the conict between Uday and Latif and its eventual outcome. Though Cooper interacts with actors playing Saddam and his own double, plus others in the familys entourage, the movie would be mainly Cooper in a one-man, twocharacter show if not for Ludivine Sagnier as Sarrab, one of Udays mistresses who winds up drawn to Latif. Their tender moments together arent all that interesting, but they do provide a breather from the carnage and cruelty that Tamahori piles

    Working Girl (1988):


    A great example of Fords capacity for romantic comedy. Yes, Mike Nichols film is all about powerful women, with Melanie Griffith coming into her own as a bighaired secretary at a major Wall Street firm who takes over for her ailing boss (Sigourney Weaver). But the relationship she forges both professionally and personally with Fords character, an investment banker who thinks shes really in charge, helps her confidence blossom. Hes steady but also passionate, amusing and bemused, an imperfect Prince Charming. That may all sound like a contradiction, but its that kind of versatility that makes Ford so enduring. cant wait to see put down. What is fascinating, at least eetingly, is the inside look the movie offers of Iraq as U.S. forces move in to liberate Kuwait after Saddams invasion. But that passes quickly, and soon the movie is back to stomach-churning mode. Bring your antacids. The Devils Double, a Lionsgate release, is rated R for strong brutal bloody violence and torture, sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use and pervasive language. Running time: 108 minutes. Two stars out of four.

    The Mosquito Coast (1986):


    Working with Weir again, Ford takes on a very different role. He plays an eccentric inventor whos so fed up with contemporary society that he packs up his wife (Helen Mirren) and kids (including River Phoenix) and moves them to the rain forests of Central America. Unhinged yet unshakable, hes obsessed to the point of shunning reality in his pursuit of utopia. Its to Fords credit that hes so believon to show us what a depraved animal Uday is. The barbarity is so thick, youll appreciate those breathers, which come too rarely between repetitive, almost smothering sequences that show Uday as a booze, drug, sex and violence end. Cooper has done such a good job bringing Uday to life, its a bit of a trial simply sitting in the audience and watching. Hes not a fascinating portrait of evil, such as Bruno Ganzs Adolf Hitler in Downfall or Forest Whitakers Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland. This is a creature, a ranting beast, one you

    DOUBLE
    Continued from page 21
    honorable Latif Yahia, a soldier in Iraqs war with Iran who is summoned to Baghdad in 1987 by Uday, an old schoolmate who recalls their remarkable resemblance and graciously asks him to be his double. Then, after Latif declines, not so graciously. Coopers Uday is a shrill, grinning, coke-addled rabid dog who

    wont take no for an answer and has every means from torture, imprisonment and threats against family members to get his way. So Coopers steady-handed, reserved Latif relents and begins his physical transformation, through prosthetics and plastic surgery, and spiritual indoctrination, through Pygmalion-like coaching and viewing of Udays torture-porn tendencies on video, as a stand-in for Saddams eldest son and heir. The Devils Double was adapted by screenwriter Michael Thomas from Latifs memoir, though the

    Denver bets on a county fair, aiming at hipsters


    By Kristen Wyatt
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    Bandelier will continue to be at the mercy of Mother Nature for the next few years,and everyone from monument staff to locals acknowledge that the backcountry will never look the same in their lifetimes.

    Monument rising from the ashes


    By Susan Montoya Bryan
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    THE BOTTOM OF FRIJOLES CANYON, N.M. Tourist season is peaking in northern New Mexico but there are no visitors at the heart of much-loved Bandelier National Monument, tucked into the ancient canyons northwest of Santa Fe. No one is climbing the wooden ladders that reach up to the centuriesold dwellings that were carved into the canyon walls by ancestors of the Native American pueblos that surround the area. No one is picnicking along Frijoles Creek as it bubbles by. Theres just the silence of a devastated landscape and it could remain that way for years. Nearly two-thirds of the monument was scorched during the last month by the largest wildre in New Mexico history. The ames of the Las Conchas re burned across mesa tops and down canyons dotted with hundreds of archaeological sites. The re stopped a mile from the monuments largest concentration of prehistoric cultural sites. Also spared were a collection of historic buildings constructed by workers during the New Deal and a newly renovated $3.2 million visitors center all at the bottom of Frijoles Canyon. The re is all but out, after destroying more than ve dozen homes in the surrounding mountains and threatening the nations premier nuclear weapons laboratory to the north. The threat now is that summer rains will pound down on the massive burn scar and send a wall of ash, sediment and charred debris into the

    heart of the monument. Generally, theyve been saying about three years after a big re like this you can have ash oods, said Rod Torrez, the monuments chief of interpretation. None of us really want to be the one to say, Oh, were not going to be able to open the visitors center for three years, he said. It could be that the oods that come are not catastrophic and we could start eventually doing tours down to Frijoles Canyon when we know its safe. Employees were left scrambling on the afternoon of June 26 to save pieces of prehistoric pottery, rare artifacts and the irreplaceable artwork of more modern day Native Americans. Just last summer they took weeks to painstakingly place the pottery and artwork in display cases before unveiling the new visitors center. This time, the minutes were ticking and there were no white gloves. Instead, they used blankets and old uniforms to wrap the pieces to be transported out of the canyon to safety. Even the monuments American ag was put to work protecting one large pot. We worked until we were ordered out of the canyon, Torrez said. We had to do kind of this triage. It was sad, you know, not knowing whether the re was going to reach the visitors center or not. You had to decide, Which Maria (Martinez) pots do I save, which Pablita Velarde paintings do I take? That was something else. The 244-square-mile blaze reduced entire mountainsides and canyons to nothing but ash and

    blackened tree trunks. Thousands of fallen trees were vaporized. All but 1,000 acres of the 12,000acre upper Frijoles watershed burned and ofcials said most of that was severe, leaving no vegetation behind. All of us were kind of transxed by it because on the one hand it was just heart wrenching. But on the other hand, just the magnicence of this humungous event was beyond anything any of us had ever seen. It was huge, Torrez said. You could see 30-acre pieces of land light up at once. It was basically an acre a second for the rst 14 hours of the re. Torrez described the re as a horizontal rolling vortex. Its rare and it takes a lot of fuel and obviously there was plenty of it here, Torrez said. It has the force of several nuclear weapons so thats what really happened that first night. Monument ofcials had expected all of Bandelier to go up in ames that night. A shift in the wind and quick work by reghters saved the rest of the park. By 3 a.m., Torrez had to stop at an employees home in nearby Los Alamos to hand off the paintings so they could be taken to Santa Fe for temporary storage. Once the re shifted direction and it was safe to return to the canyon bottom after a few days, employees were able to gather the rest of the items from the visitors center. Now, Bandeliers pots, paintings and historic furniture are among the rows and rows of National Park items at a massive agency warehouse in Arizona.

    DENVER Denver has an ambitious plan to revive the county fair: blend throwback chic with urban grit to draw crowds celebrating everything weird and crafty. Mix funnel cakes with drag queens, add a dash of old-time quilting and newly hip knitting, and the recipe could produce what organizers hope is a new avor of county fair. Fair staples like funnel cakes and cotton candy, animal exhibits and 4H competitions are on proud display at the Denver County Fair; theres even a Ferris wheel in the parking lot. But theres no mistaking this event for a traditional county fair. All the contestants in Saturdays Miss Denver County Fair pageant are drag queens. Theres a speed text-messaging contest, and the highlight staple of a Western fair, a rodeo, has been replaced with a bicycle rodeo and a troupe of performing pigs. This is so cool, said 13-year-old Brian Torres of Denver, a rst-time fairgoer who saw his rst alpaca and planned to check out the carnival rides, just past a freak show highlighted by a bearded lady and a man lying on a bed of nails. The fair has a city version of a traditional fair agriculture display. Chickens, rabbits and miniature goats sit in cages next to displays about container gardening and capturing rain in barrels to reduce water usage. There are even contests for the best compost and best vegan cooking. Denver is adding a new green ribbon to the traditional red, white and blue lineup to reward contest entries that use sustainable methods. Ive never competed before, but I saw a billboard about this and thought, Why not? said Junior Perez, 13, who entered his two pet Japanese bantam roosters, Shadow and Tiny. It was something different. The fair, which opened Thursday in a stock show complex by the interstate and runs through Sunday, also has a holistic pavilion. There fairgoers can huddle with a psychic, get their auras interpreted or pick up a handmade sacred drum or dreamcatcher. The county fair still has its place, but it needs to reect who we are now, and this is what youre seeing here, said Karen Harrison, a psychic who will be judging fair contests in divination tools and potions. Harrison, who owns a bookshop and gift store in suburban

    Englewood, is also selling jewelry, crystals and silks. Shes heard of metaphysical shows and run-of-themill gift marts, but Harrison said her interest was piqued by the idea of throwing holistic elements in a county fair. The second we heard about this, we knew we had to be a part of it. Its so creative, so perfect for Denver, she said. Theres a heavy dose of irony, too. Denver County Fair contests include a molded-gelatin competition and a mustache contest. A John Denver impersonator led a group Rocky Mountain High sing-along to open the fair. A freak show area includes a bearded lady, a tattooed glass-blower and other throwback spectacles. The group Devo, the 1970s and 80s group behind the song Whip It, will perform, along with a cover band for The B-52s. Its all so corny, its crossing the line into being totally cool, said Dana Cain, founder of the fair. Theres a category for Denvers many home beer brewers, along with homemade wine and mead. One notable omission is Denver Countys most lucrative crop medical marijuana. There is a category for herbal remedies, but fair organizer Dana Cain said no one has tried to enter weed. She chuckled about the idea of pot at a county fair, but didnt rule it out in the future. Everybodys divided on that. Half the people were like, Yeah! Were the pot capital of the country! But others are like, Nah, dont go there, Cain said. Next year, well see. Im sure we wouldnt have any trouble nding judges. Urban fairs arent new, but most of them attempt to bring the country to the city with petting zoos and traditional fair elements. Cain, a specialevents marketer, saw craft fairs and sidewalk farmers markets endemic in hipster neighborhoods in Denver and elsewhere and wondered, why not throw it all together, artisan crafts right alongside caramel corn and carnival rides? Its a huge mix of performance art and display, pretty much everything you could ever want, Cain said. After nding theres never been a Denver County Fair, Cain and other organizers said they were somewhat surprised to nd that county ofcials and 4-H embraced the idea. The fair came together in just a few months. Organizers hope for 50,000 attendees. We love it, said Ashlee Adams, Denver Countys 4-H Agent with the Colorado State University Extension. People dont realize that 4-H is in urban areas, too.

    Sodini attributes the restaurants long history of success to a simple factor: Its been around for so long. It was ancient, it was one of those places where you came since the 60s, Sodini said. Just a silly old joint that I wanted to revitalize and it worked ... I thought the magic could happen again. Just a half hour south of Sodinis Bertoluccis is another restaurant that has earned success and loyalty from its customers. The Flea Street Cafe on Alameda de las Pulgas in Menlo Park has been open since 1980, when owner Jesse Cool, 62, and her former husband began the business after establishing a successful breakfast restaurant because, she said, we wanted to do dinner. I had no idea I would end up in the restaurant business ... I was brought up around a connection of food to community, Cool said. I just kind of did it as something that was a part of my passion. The Flea Street Cafe opened with a philosophy that Cool said was as unfashionable as it could possibly be at the time: Serving only food with no chemicals or pesticides what she called food that was just food. She now owns two other restaurants in Stanford and Menlo Park and a catering business called CoolEatz. Flea Streets food is truly California according to Cool and the decor is casual contemporary. The actual philosophy behind the restaurant is that the customer comes last, Cool said. Ive always felt that if we take care of where our food comes from and those people ... and my staff as well as I can, and how the food is prepared and that its really clean and pure then you will be taken care of. Cool had experience as the restaurants chef for nine years and so managing a business was, she said, something I had to learn. Through the years, she said the restaurant has lost a lot of money, but the last two have been the best the Flea Street Cafe has seen. Consumers, especially young people, have been catching on in the last three or four years to the ideas she held about knowing where food comes from and whats in it, Cool said. She has deep loyalties, she said, within the restaurant business and, she added, if you believe in karma, her restaurants have survived over the years because of support from the community. Ideas about organic and local food are becoming more popular which means its been easier for Cool to trust what she called some wonderful staff members to help make the resturant better. Its important to her, she said, that I not get all the credit for the restaurants success. Similar to Sodini, Cool doesnt advertise for Flea Street she thinks restaurants are very word of mouth, she said. The bottom-line philosophy of pure food has not changed what has changed is the rest of the world, Cool said. I never dreamed that this style of food ... that people, that the young in particular, would care about where food comes from. Unlike Sodini, Cool changes the menu of the Flea Street Cafe often she said it allows her to use seasonal ingredients. Were always paying attention to how we can change a little and do things differently, and people want that, she said. I believe people will come back because the food and the care is good and when we get slow, that means I have to pay attention. The decor of the restaurant also changes often Cool said, I think people want fresh, and while some people want the restaurant to stay the same, this is my house, she added. as a template for other jurisdictions weighing similar legal battles. Suing the executives specically is an argument that high-ranking individuals are to blame rather than economic conditions. County ofcials at the time said the suit was another attempt to recoup losses aside from seeking compensation through bankruptcy proceedings and pleading with the U.S. Treasury to make it whole. The countys complaint demands a jury trial for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of duciary duty and violations of California law and the federal Securities Act. The county is also on the end of a different suit stemming from the Lehman failure. A collection of 12 county school districts and the county superintendent of schools is suing San Mateo County and former treasurer-tax collector Lee Bufngton for $20 million and interest, claiming their faulty investment practices led to the losses.

    GOAL
    Continued from page 1
    Bertoluccis owner Peter Sodini said. You live it. Youre married to it ... if you dont have the passion, the time to dedicate and if youre married youre taking on a second wife, and if your wife cant deal with it, dont get into the business. Peter and Victoria Sodini have owned Sodinis Bertoluccis in South San Francisco since 2005, when they bought the restaurant from the children of the original Bertolucci owners. The restaurant opened in 1928 and was a hotel and then a brothel in addition to a restaurant until the 1970s, according to Peter Sodini, 52. He said Bertoluccis was one of the old Italian houses in the area and a popular destination not just among locals but even celebrities like Frank Sinatra and Shirley Temple Black. In the 1960s and 1970s, the restaurant expanded to its current size. After running it for three years after their mother died, Sodini said the Bertolucci children were in their 80s and closed for a year in the early 2000s to boot out the union and then said what are we doing in this business? They were already very wealthy and so they didnt need it, Sodini said, and the original employees had obviously found other jobs, he added. The Bertolucci children were still very reluctant to give it up to someone else, Sodini said, but they put it up for sale after it was closed for four years. It was, Sodini said, apparently for sale for a while. When Sodini found out, he said, I thought, what the hell, called and put an offer and just struggled through and got it, thank goodness. Sodini said he first fell in love with Bertoluccis when he was 16 delivering bread to the restaurant for his familys local bakeries. By 2005, he had opened two other eateries in North Beach, but said, I couldnt bear to see a place like Bertoluccis end. He spent six months xing up areas like plumbing and electrical, he said, but his intention was to change as little as possible about the place. Hed loved the ambiance of Bertoluccis, he said, and through the years it hadnt changed much. I wanted to build a place around somewhere I would like to go, Sodini said. Im used to rebuilding but not building new. Sodini said there are still a few people who say the restaurant is not like how it used to be, but for the most part people are happy and even say the food is as good or better. Bertoluccis has always served what Sodini called a big and hearty style of Italian food and he said hes continued that tradition, with a bit of his own twist on the menu. He wasnt able to get Bertoluccis original recipes, but said his are about 90 percent of what they were. Sodini still pays attention to changing economic times and trends. He said the the current economy is a wake-up call for everyone, and at Sodinis Bertoluccis he said theres been a little bit less income and hes had to watch costs a little more but he also said theres never been a time in the restaurants history when its been in danger of closing. Sodini has also, he said, gone toward whatever I can as far as organic produce, and said the employees are an important part of the business as well. He doesnt advertise for the restaurant he believes in word of mouth.

    Circumstance beyond your control may inaugurate some changes in your affairs in the coming months, but, instead of fighting them, take control so that you can be the one who guides them to a desirable place in your life.
    LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Sometimes youre better at

    doing things for others than you are at doing things for yourself, and it could be one of those times. These noble instincts reflect the real you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Because your powers of observations are extremely keen right now, many

    things that are apparent to you could be completely overlooked by others. Dont fault them for not seeing what you see. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Although it will take asserting yourself a bit more than usual, the possibilities for adding to your material holdings are exceptionally good. Take advantage of this propitious day. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It behooves you to pay special attention to your appearance and demeanor, because for whatever reason, you will not go unnoticed. Make a favorable, lasting impression. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If youre smart, youll function as the power behind the scenes. It will be far easier to accomplish what you want by letting others think your success came from them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your friends might

    be leaning on you, so be prepared to assume some of their burdens if you think you can help out. Chances are they wont lay anything on you that you cant handle. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- There is no need to be overly concerned about suddenly finding yourself in a competitive development. Challenges awaken your senses, and youll easily win with grace. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Instead of instinctively falling back on a negative behavior pattern that has always led you down a dead end street, take the time to profit from your past experiences. Youll know what to do. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- This is a good day to go shopping, because you tend to be extremely keen about anything that has to do with handling money. Youre

    likely to get some better bargains for your shekels. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If youre ears are ringing, its because someone is telling others some nice things about you. This persons comments could have a strong impact on your popularity. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Get an early start, because chances are youll be asked to tackle something you would normally shy away from. However, youre better equipped to handle it than you think. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- People in general are likely to find you far more appealing than they do a friend of yours who is always subconsciously competing against you. This person is hurting, so be nice to him or her. COPYRIGHT 2011 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

    NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of San Bruno, California at its regular meeting on Tuesday, August 9, 2011, starting at 7:00 p.m. at 1555 Crystal Springs Blvd (the Senior Center), San Bruno, will hold a Public Hearing regarding compliance with ABX1 27 in order to ensure the continued existence and operation of the San Bruno Redevelopment Agency. The City Council will consider taking the following actions, summarized as follows: Hold Public Hearing, waive reading, and adopt an Urgency Ordinance determining that the City of San Bruno will comply with the Voluntary Alternative Redevelopment Program as set forth in ABX1 27 in order to permit the continued existence and operation of the San Bruno Redevelopment Agency. Ordinance Summary: On June 29, 2011, as part of adopting the fiscal year 2011-12 California state budget, the Governor signed ABX1 26 and ABX1 27 into law. ABX1 26 immediately suspends most redevelopment activities and eliminates redevelopment agencies as of October 1, 2011. ABX1 27 allows agencies to opt-in and continue to operate and function if the City adopts an ordinance by October 1, 2011. The proposed Ordinance determines the following: that the City of San Bruno agrees to comply with ABX1 27, including participation in an Alternative Voluntary Redevelopment Program and making the payments set forth in Health and Safety Code section 34194 et seq., including for fiscal year 2011-2012 and subsequent annual payments; that the City will enter into an agreement with the Agency whereby the Agency will transfer annual portions of its tax increment to the City to make the annual payments, and; that the City reserves the right to challenge the legality of ABX1 26 and ABX1 27. Enactment of this Ordinance does not pledge any of the Citys general fund revenues or assets to make the payments. The Ordinance is adopted as an Urgency Ordinance, effective immediately. If you challenge the above ordinance in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice or in written correspondence delivered to the City Council at, or prior to, the public hearing. The public is invited to attend the hearing and comment. Please call (650) 616-7074 with any questions. Certification and Posting: A copy of the full text of proposed ordinance is available in the City Clerks Office, 567 El Camino Real, in San Bruno, California.

    AWOL soldier defiantly shouts 09 suspects name
    WACO, Texas Coolly deant, Pfc. Naser Abdo shouted Nidal Hasan Fort Hood 2009! as he was led out of the courtroom Friday, an apparent homage to the suspect in the worst mass shooting ever on a U.S. military installation. He condemned the attack less than a year ago, but is now accused of trying to repeat Naser Abdo it. Investigators say Abdo, who cited his Muslim beliefs in requesting conscientious objector status last year, was found in a motel room three miles from Fort Hoods main gate with a handgun, an article titled Make a bomb in the kitchen of your Mom and the ingredients for an explosive device, including gunpowder, shrapnel and pressure cookers. An article with that title appears in an al-Qaida magazine. Abdo went absent without leave from Fort Campbell, Ky., early this month after being charged with possessing child pornography. Police and the Army say Abdo admitted plotting an attack, but in Fuhais, Jordan, his father insisted the allegations were all lies from A to Z. My son loved people no matter who they are, whether Jews or Christians, Jamal Abdo said. Naser is not the kind of a person who harbors evil for the other people, he cannot kill anyone and he could not have done any bad thing.

    DEBT
    Continued from page 1
    backed conservatives and others in the rank and le who had thwarted House Speaker John Boehners attempt to pass the bill Thursday night. Today we have a chance to end this debt limit crisis, Boehner declared, his endgame strategy upended by rebels within his own party. But the changes he made to the House GOP bill further alienated Democrats. And they complicated prospects of a compromise that could clear both houses and win Obamas signature by next Tuesdays deadline. At the other end of the Capitol, Senate Democrats rejected the measure without so much as a debate. The vote was 59-41, with all Democrats, two independents and six Republicans joining in opposition. Moments later, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., unveiled an alternative that would cut spending by $2.4 trillion and raise the debt limit by the same amount, enough to meet Obamas terms that it tide the Treasury over until 2013. Reid invited Republicans to suggest changes, saying, This is likely our last chance to save this nation from default. The Senate GOP leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, accused Democrats of rounding up no votes to keep this crisis alive, and noted the House had passed two bills to raise the debt limit and the Senate none. The House, eager to return the Senates favor rejecting the Boehner bill, set a vote to reject Reids proposal on Saturday. The Senate set a test vote for shortly after midnight on Sunday, a middle-of-the-night roll call that underscored the limited time available to lawmakers At the same time Reid appealed for biparti-

    Gov. Brown signs bill for single primary in 2012


    SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a bill to move Californias presidential primary from February to June next year in a moneysaving move for the state. Brown signed AB80 on Friday. Consolidating the presidential and regular statewide primaries is expected to save the state about $100 million. California had tried to Jerry Brown increase its political inuence in 2008 by shifting the presidential primary to Super Tuesday. However, the shift cost state taxpayers about $97 million. Democratic Assemblyman Paul Fong of Cupertino said his bill, which was passed with bipartisan votes, will increase voter turnout by reducing the number of statewide elections. Several Republicans had suggested the presidential and regular primaries should be moved to March to give California more clout in the Republican nominating process.

    sanship, he and other party leaders accused Boehner of caving in to extremists in the GOP ranks the last holdouts of the tea party, Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois called them. Republicans conceded that the overnight delay had weakened Boehners hand in the endgame with Obama and Senate Democrats. But the Ohio Republican drew applause from his rank and le when he said the House, alone, had advanced legislation to cut decits, and that he had stuck his neck out in recent weeks in hopes of concluding a sweeping decit reduction deal with Obama. Boehners measure would provide a quick $900 billion increase in borrowing authority essential for the U.S. to keep paying all its bills after next Tuesday and $917 billion in spending cuts. After the bills latest alteration, any future increases in the debt limit would be contingent on Congress approving the constitutional amendment and sending it to the states for ratication. With conservatives insisting on the addition of a balanced-budget amendment requirement, Speaker Boehners bill will now cut, cap and balance federal spending, said Rep. Jeff Flake of Arizona as Fridays scheduled vote approached. The White House called the bill a nonstarter. Press secretary Jay Carney issued a statement that called it a political exercise and said congressional leaders should turn their efforts to a compromise that Obama can sign by Tuesday. The developments occurred one day after Boehner was forced to postpone a vote in the House for fear the earlier version of his measure would suffer a defeat. But by forcing a delay the conservative rebels upended the leaderships strategy of making their bill the only one that could clear Congress before a default and win Obamas reluctant signature. Everybody acknowledges that because of the dust-up yesterday weve lost some leverage, said Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio, an ally of the speaker. Planned Parenthood did submit a response to the city Friday afternoon but Rodriguez said she could not comment on its contents. She did say Planned Parenthood has an ongoing dialogue with Enterprise and is working with other businesses to nd alternative parking. City spokesman Malcolm Smith could not be reached for comment. If the permit holds, the 5,333-square-foot facility is expected to open in early 2012 and provide preventative health care, family planning and reproductive health, prenatal and primary care. Until then, some services will be offered in a mobile van unit parked on the property three days per week. As part of the May approval, Planned Parenthood agreed to sidewalk improvements, on-site security and frequent communication

    The rebels said they were more worried about stemming the nations steady rise of red ink. Rep. Jeff Landry, R-La., a, a rst-term lawmaker, issued a statement saying his pressure had paid off. The American people have strongly renewed their November calls of bringing scal sanity to Washington. I am blessed to be a vehicle driving their wishes to fruition, he said. This plan is not a Washington deal but a real solution to fundamentally change the way Washington operates. Administration ofcials say that without legislation in place by Tuesday, the Treasury will no longer be able to pay all its bills. The result could inict signicant damage on the economy, they add, causing interest rates to rise and nancial markets to sink. Executives from the countrys biggest banks met with U.S. Treasury ofcials to discuss how debt auctions will be handled if Congress fails to raise the borrowing limit before Tuesdays deadline. But Carney said the administration did not plan to provide the public with details Friday on how the government will prioritize payments. The days economic news wasnt very upbeat to begin with an economy that grew at an annual rate of only 1.3 percent in the second quarter of the year. The Dow Jones industrial average suffered through a sixth straight day of losses, and bond yields fell as investors sought safer investments in the event of a default. At the White House, Obama cited the potential toll on the economy as he urged lawmakers to nd a way out of gridlock. He said that for all the partisanship, the two sides were not that far apart. Both agree on initial spending cuts to take effect in exchange for an increase in the debt limit, he said, as well as on a way to consider additional reductions in government benet programs in the coming months. with police to mitigate anticipated demonstrations. Protests began outside the location even before the citys approval, primarily by fulltime anti-abortion protester Ross Foti who is also one of the four people who led the appeal. The appeal claimed the request was not a hecklers veto but an argument the clinic doesnt meet the citys code, including adequate parking, according to the document led by attorney Gregory Weiler on behalf of the opponents. The appeal also noted several times that the clinic is inherently undesirable.

    PERMIT
    Continued from page 1
    by the conditional permit. Although Enterprise and Planned Parenthood began such a contract in February, it was never completed because they did not agree on the terms, said Enterprise spokeswoman Laura Bryant. The question now is if this lack of parking now throws a wrench in the clinics permit which had already been appealed by four county residents. The City Council is expected to hear the appeal at a future meeting although that would be moot if the city yanks the conditional permit based on the parking.
