Suit claims racial, employment discrimination at Seton Medical Center
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A former Seton Medical Center nurse reportedly red for posting an angry workrelated comment on Facebook claims the hospital provided an increasingly hostile work environment for Filipino medical providers and that her termination was retaliation for complaining about short stafng.
The lawsuit led by Bernadet Guevarra in San Mateo County Superior Court claims Nursing Services Vice President Stephanie Mearns tried preventing her clinical certication and that another manager, Paula Boylan, told police she was a threat based on an angry Facebook post that did not mention her by name. The May 18 comment, in which Guevarra expressed anger at not being able to take
her birthday off from work, was written in Tagalog and not intended for an Englishspeaking audience, the suit claims. Guevarra was terminated after the posting and subsequent police report. She is suing Seton, Mearns and Boylan on several grounds including wrongful termination, racial discrimination, providing a hostile work environment based on race, aiding and abetting, failing to prevent harassment, retali-
ation, negligent hiring and training, intentional iniction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of contract, defamation and whistleblower protection. Seton spokeswoman Beth Volz said she cannot comment on any element of the suit.

Pulgas Creek a trash hot spot

San Carlos waterway deemed polluted with excessive trash
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Pulgas Creek in San Carlos has been named one of the most polluted waterways in the Bay Area by a local environmental group due to excessive amounts of plastic bags, fast-food containers and other trashy items that clog the creek. The creek has been named a trash hot spot by Save the Bay, a nonprot agency committed to protecting the San Francisco Bay and its shoreline. Save the Bays Sixth Annual Bay Trash Hot Spots lists Pulgas Creek; Baxter Creek in Richmond; Damon Slough in Oakland; Guadalupe River in San Jose; and Mission Creek in San Francisco as some of the Bay Areas worst waterways in need of cleanup. The group released the list yesterday leading up to this weekends Coastal Cleanup Day, a statewide effort sponsored by the California Coastal Commission. Pulgas Creek ows directly into the Bair Island Ecological Reserve, former salt ponds that have been restored to wetlands. Cleanup events are held on Pulgas Creek every Coastal Cleanup Day but the creek continues to receive trash from

Ohio woman hauls trash to mayors office
PORTSMOUTH, Ohio An Ohio woman frustrated by the mix-up of the trash pick-up schedule after the Labor Day holiday decided to haul her own garbage right into her mayors ofce. Janice Shanks carried two bags of refuse into Portsmouth Mayor David Malones ofce on Friday morning. Shanks says she had more garbage than normal because of a holiday family get-together, and the lack of collection put her in a real pickle. Malone accepted the trash and says he will take it to the citys waste disposal department. Malone says certain routes were skipped so the city could avoid paying overtime for the holiday work. He says there was confusion over how notice was sent out to residents. how walked out of the exhibit. Lichtenstein says a food stand worker called Bronx Zoo ofcials, and a zoo employee soon had the kudu back inside. Zoo ofcials havent returned a call seeking comment. A pair of male kudus joined a herd of gazelles in the zoos popular outdoor African Plains exhibit this summer. Martin Kessman says in the federal lawsuit filed last week that he was embarrassed in 2009 when he tried squeezing his 6-foot, 290-pound frame into the seating at a White Castle in Nanuet, N.Y. He says he slammed his knee into a metal post under the table and was in pain. The lawsuit claims the restaurant could not accommodate a customer of Kessmans stature, in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act. The suit seeks an unspecied nancial judgment. Spokesman Jamie Richardson at White Castle headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, says the restaurant is being replaced and that the new one will have roomier seating.

Fire department nears the end

Officials hold last meeting for Belmont-San Carlos; longtime employees honored

The customer is wrong
A person was yelling profanities at a clerk on Middleeld Road in Redwood City before 3:06 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16.
With the Belmont-San Carlos Fire Department set to discontinue service in two weeks, its re board honored the men and women who have kept the joint re department running for more than 30 years last night. The department, once called the South County Fire Authority, will essentially be split in two as Belmont is set to re-establish its own stand-alone re department and San Carlos prepares to partner with Redwood City to provide the service. The re board, comprised of two councilmembers from both cities, essentially held its nal meeting last night, although, it will have to meet at least a few times over the next year as the department pays off its outstanding debts related to retirement costs or workers compensation claims. The board moved last night to give purchasing authority up to $25,000 for the current department to Belmont Finance Director Thomas Fil to pay off the departments debts well after it has dissolved. There are still major decisions ahead, Fil told commissioners last night.
BILL SILVERFARB/DAILY JOURNAL
Fireghters were honored by the Belmont-San Carlos Fire Board last night for their years of service to the agency, which is set to discontinue service Sept. 30 and ofcially dissolve Oct.12.
The department will have to pay off legacy costs related to the dissolution, including holiday and other accruals owed its reghters. Most of the departments current employees, about 40, have been rehired by the two new agencies. Last night, the re boards chair, Warren Lieberman, made it a point to honor all of the departments employees by name, some who have served the agency for 30 years.
Lieberman also gave special recognition to the three battalion chiefs who have run the department since Doug Fry, its former chief, retired earlier this year. Battalion chiefs Gary Fauth, Thomas Mota and Michael Gaffney have rotated the chiefs duties the past few months. All three of the men have been hired by the city of Belmont and will work under Fry, who was hired out of retirement to lead the department through its transition. San Carlos moved to dissolve the joint re department 18 months ago after the funding formula, based on calls, population and assessed property value, saw the citys share to pay for the service climb beyond what was expected. Both cities currently pay between $6 million and $7 million a year for re service but an ongoing structural deficit caused San Carlos to seek major savings through outsourcing some of its services. In Belmont, the city has a dedicated funding stream to pay for the service through the Belmont Fire Protection District while San Carlos pays for the service out of its general fund. San Carlos expects to save about $1 million a year with its partnership with Redwood City.

Lawmakers probe how solar company got $528M loan

By Jack Gillum and Kevn Freking
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON House Republicans questioned Wednesday whether the White House rushed approval of a half-billion-dollar loan guarantee for a now-bankrupt solar panel manufacturer once cited as the kind of renewable energy company worthy of federal stimulus money. Solyndra Inc. was a major presence in Washington and spent millions of dollars on
lobbying there, particularly about the Energy Departments loan guarantee program. And its executives raised thousands of dollars for Obama and Democrats in Congress. The collapse of the Fremont,-based company once touted by President Barack Obama ultimately left taxpayers on the hook for $528 million, raising questions if the loan was rushed to accommodate a company event in September 2009 that featured Vice President Joe Biden. The congressional panel examining the loan disclosed emails that appeared to show senior
staff at the Ofce of Management and Budget chafing about having to conduct rushed approvals of federal loan guarantees designed to help jumpstart the nations renewable energy industry.

Brown: Im going Driver pleads not guilty in to veto a lot of bills fatal hit-and-run accident
By Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown warned California lawmakers Wednesday that they soon will be playing the veto blues as he considers some 600 bills passed by the Legislature before its session ended last week. Brown said he is focused on commonsense laws that will not add to the states budget problems. Im going to veto a lot of bills over the
next 30 days, Brown told reporters. So I have to say to some, fasten your seat belts. This is going to be a rough ride ... Theyll be playing the veto blues before we nish them up. Lawmakers failed to send the governor his two major jobs proposals. One would have closed a tax loophole for multi-state corporations and used proceeds to provide tax breaks for California small businesses and manufacturers. Another would have extended a statewide electricity surcharge to promote energy efciency and the development of alternative energy sources. The surcharge has been in effect since 1997 and adds $1 to $2 to the average monthly household electric bill. Among the bills passed by the Legislature is one that would ban minors from using tanning salons and another that would allow workers in child care centers to unionize. Other bills Brown will consider would delay the states effort to collect sales tax from Internet retailers such as Amazon.com; ban the sale and possession of shark ns used in soup; and speed up construction of a proposed NFL stadium in downtown Los Angeles.
A Redwood City driver accused of fatally striking a 53-year-old woman with his vehicle and fleeing the scene last week pleaded not guilty to charges of felony hit and run and misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. Julio Ricardo Montenegro, 58, waived his right to a speedy trial and was ordered back to court Oct. 19 for a review conference followed by a Nov. 14 preliminary hearing. He remains in custody in lieu of $250,000 bail. Montenegro was arrested Sept. 6 by Redwood City police after they linked his vehicle to witness descriptions after 53year-old Nora Fuentes-Arias was found lying on the ground at approximately 7:15
p.m. in the 3000 block of East Bayshore Road in Redwood City. She was pronounced dead at the scene. A witness reported seeing a vehicle hit Fuentes-Arias and continue driving, according to Redwood City police. Using a description and partial license plate number, police located the truck at Montenegros residence on East Bayshore Road and reported it having damage on the right front corner. Montenegro conceded driving the truck and being involved in a collision but said he didnt know what was struck and that he drove home after seeing nothing behind him, according to the District Attorneys Office.

SAT reading scores fall to lowest level on record

By Justin Pope
SAT reading scores for the high school class of 2011 were the lowest on record, and combined reading and math scores fell to their lowest point since 1995. The College Board, which released the scores Wednesday, said the results reect the record size and diversity of the pool of testtakers. As more students aim for college and take the exam, it tends to drag down average scores.
Meanwhile, other tests taken by more representative groups of high school students have shown reading skills holding steadier. And in the context of the 800-point test, the threepoint decline in reading scores to 497 may seem little more than a blip. Still, its just the second time in the last two decades reading scores have fallen as much in a single year. And reading scores are now notably lower than as recently as 2005, when the average was 508. Average math scores for the class of 2011 fell one point to 514 and scores on the critical reading section fell two points to 489.
A Sacramento couple arrested last month at a South San Francisco hotel on suspicion of forcing three teenage girls into prostitution pleaded not guilty yesterday to kidnapping, false imprisonment and pimping.

The two were arrested Aug. 20 after South San Francisco police followed a tip about a runaway girl to a hotel in the 300 block of South Airport Boulevard. Arriving ofcers
found a 19-year-old woman and two 16-yearold girls in a room at the hotel, police said. The room was registered to Mahender Singh, who was found in another room at the hotel, police said. His wife was also located and taken into custody. During questioning, all three girls said they were being forced into prostitution by the Singhs, police said. Mahender Singh said the girls were his stepdaughters. Police reported nding in the room condoms, lingerie and counterfeit bills. The three girls were released to their parents, police said.

Obama touts jobs bill benefits for small business
RALEIGH, N.C. President Barack Obama urged enthusiastic college students Wednesday to join him in his ght to get Congress to act on his new jobs bill. Every single one of you can help make this bill a reality, the president called out at a hot and noisy rally at North Carolina State University. Someone in the crowd yelled out, I love you! If you love me you got to help me pass this bill, the president responded. It was Obamas second campaign-style rally in two days as he pushes for action on his $450 billion jobs plan. His program is running into a buzz saw of opposition from Republicans and even some in his own Democratic Party over his plans to raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations to pay for it. The president was in Ohio Tuesday, and last week in Virginia, as he travels key electoral states to sell the plan with the economy stuck in neutral heading into his 2012 re-election campaign.

Bachmann shot at Perry over vaccine stings her too

ST. PAUL, Minn. Republican Michele Bachmann is feeling the sting of a presidential campaign jab gone awry, while the target is using the ap to shore up his pro-life credentials. Bachmann is trying to regain her footing in the race after a late-summer slide. At a GOP debate sponsored by CNN and the Tea Party Express Monday she tried to raise doubts about front-runner Rick Perry among conservatives and libertarian-style tea party members critical to both candidates. Bachmann criticized Perry, the Texas governor, for signing an order requiring middleschool girls in his state to get vaccinated against the human papillomavirus, known as HPV. But in the following days, she linked the vaccine to mental retardation. Medical experts roundly disputed the claim, calling it irresponsible and dangerous.
WASHINGTON Savoring the unlikeliest of victories, Republicans called their triumph in a New York City congressional race a repudiation of President Barack Obamas policies on the economy and Israel on Wednesday as public and private polls showed his approval ratings plummeting in a district he carried handily in 2008. Were not going to sugarcoat it, it was a tough loss, conceded the House Democratic Campaign Committee. Yet party ofcials and the White House insisted the race was not a referendum on the president as he seeks reelection with the economy stagnant and unemployment stuck at 9.1 percent. In New York, Rep.-elect Bob Turner, outpolled state Assemblyman David Weprin in a light-turnout election. He will replace former Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner, who resigned in disgrace earlier this year in a sexting scandal. Represented by Democrats since the 1920s, the district includes portions of Brooklyn and Queens, is home to three times as many registered Democrats as Republicans and is nearly 40 percent Jewish. Those district demographics customarily spell victory for a Democrat, but in a smattering of interviews on the day after the election, former Obama supporters gave voice to their changed feelings. Unfortunately the Democrats have let us down lately, said Anne Lenihan, 65, of Queens, who said she supported the president in 2008. Im disappointed in the Democrats and we need change. Mark Russell, 37, a Democrat, said he didnt vote because he could not get excited about supporting Weprin, despite numerous calls from the Democratic get-out-the-vote operation.

In 2008 I voted for Obama, and I made a big mistake then, said Kelly Redmond, 47, who cited the economy and the presidents policy toward Israel as reasons for supporting Turner. Concerns that surfaced in the race included an administration policy in the Mideast that some Jews nd not sufciently supportive of Israel. Obamas urging of Israel to halt housing settlements in the West Bank has been a point of controversy in the district. Also, Weprin drew criticism for his vote in the New York Assembly in favor of a measure legalizing gay marriage, legislation generally unpopular with Orthodox Jews. Among political leaders in both parties, reaction to the results fell along lines that are well-established for a special election in which a House seat changes hands from one party to the other. The winning side almost always claims a broad national signicance, while the losers point instead to local concerns. In fact, that happened most recently elsewhere in New York, when Democratic Rep. Kathy Hochul won a seat in May that had been in Republican hands for years. Speaker John Boehner issued a statement saying New Yorkers have delivered a strong warning to the Democrats who control the levers of power in our federal government. Its time to scrap the failed stimulus agenda and the misguided policies on Israel and focus on getting America back to creating jobs again.

U.S.hopes Iran releases Americans

By Ali Dareini and Saeed El-Nahdy
Around the world

Al-Qaida linked militants killed southern Yemen
SANAA, Yemen Fierce clashes between Yemeni government forces and al-Qaida linked militants in southern Yemen overnight killed 14, including 12 militants, ofcials said Wednesday. Late Wednesday, loud explosions and exchanges of re were heard in the capital Sanaa in the neighborhood where the chief of the main tribe opposing Yemens president lives. There were no immediate reports of casualties. Three explosions were also reported near police stations and an intelligence ofce in Aden in southern Yemen. A military ofcial said Wednesday negotiations in the south with the ghters to end the bloodshed there were deadlocked. Islamic militants linked with alQaida have taken advantage of the turmoil gripping Yemen over antigovernment protests, seizing control of a number of towns and the provincial capital of the southern province of Abyan. The militants have controlled the towns for months, terrorizing the locals. In recent weeks, the military has gone on the offensive, but erce ghting has not shaken the militants hold on the area and has left thousands of civilians displaced.
TEHRAN, Iran The proposed bail-for-freedom deal for two Americans jailed as spies looked increasingly Wednesday like a repeat of last years release of their companion: Quarrels between Irans judiciary and president, and then a private jet dispatched by the sultan of Oman for the captives rst leg home. But even as Washington expressed hope that Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal could be nearing the end of more than two years in custody, the details of when or even if they will be freed remained clouded amid the complexities of internal Iranian politics and third-party diplomacy between Washington and Tehran, two
longtime foes. The rst twist came from Irans powerful judiciary, which said it was still reviewing the bail provisions and handing a potentially embarrassing rebuke to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad after his prediction that the Americans could be released in a matter of days. The statement by the hard-line judiciary appeared to be a message that only its ofcials and not the president can set the terms of any possible release. Ahmadinejad is locked in a bitter power struggle with Irans ruling clerics who control the courts. It also could be a swipe at his hopes of timing the release of Bauer and Fattal with his expected arrival in New York next week for the U.N. General Assembly session.

Senate procedural snarl could shut down FAA again

By Joan Lowy
WASHINGTON A single Republican senators objections plus a procedural snarl could force another partial shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration at the end of this week, potentially putting thousands of workers out of jobs and depriving the government of $30 million a day in uncollected airline ticket taxes. Senate rules dont allow lawmakers to shift from the bill theyre currently working on, a disaster aid
bill, to a stop-gap funding measure for the FAA and highway programs without the consent of all lawmakers, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Wednesday. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., is refusing to give his consent. Coburn wants to change the highway portion of the stopgap transportation bill that the House passed on Tuesday by eliminating a requirement that states spend 10 percent of their highway program dollars on transportation enhancements like bike and walking paths and projects aimed at drawing tourists.
Without directly naming Coburn, Reid effective accused the GOP senator of acting like a dictator by insisting the rest of the Senate accept his amendment. Its a pretty good way to legislate around here, be a dictator and say either take this or leave it, Reid said. Im convinced his issue would lose overwhelmingly. But hes holding this legislation up, and we are in a position now legislatively that I cant get ... to this bill prior to Friday, when the FAA expires. Republicans say the Senate could have passed the transportation bill
in time if Reid hadnt brought up the disaster aid bill rst. Because Coburn and several other GOP senators also opposed bringing up that measure, Reid on Tuesday set in motion parliamentary procedures that would allow the Senate to pass the disaster aid bill by Saturday. Democrats have been negotiating with Coburn, with Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., acting as a go-between. But Coburn said in speech on the Senate oor late Wednesday that he wont back down with regard to transportation spending.
Red Cross:At least 13 mass graves found in Libya

GENEVA The International Committee of the Red Cross says at least 13 mass graves have been found in Libya over the past three weeks. The Geneva-based Red Cross says its staff assisted in the recovery of 125 bodies found at 12 different sites in and around Tripoli. It says remains of 34 people were also recovered from a site in the Nafusa mountain village of Galaa in western Libya. ICRC spokesman Steven Anderson said Wednesday that more mass graves are being found every week. The aid group says it is helping ensure the remains are properly recovered so that the identities of the dead can be established and relatives informed. It said it is not involved in collecting evidence that could be used in war crimes or other legal proceedings.

WASHINGTON To soar far away from Earth and even on to Mars, NASA has dreamed up the worlds most powerful rocket, a behemoth that borrows from the workhorse liquid-fuel rockets that sent Apollo missions into space four decades ago. But with a price tag that some estimate at $35 billion, it may not

CHANTILLY, Va. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who is 78 and has battled cancer, was forced to slide down an emergency chute to evacuate a ight at Dulles International Airport on Wednesday that was grounded because of engine problems, a court spokeswoman said. Ginsburg was on her way from Washington to San Francisco and was not injured, said Supreme Court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe

Lawsuit challenges allowing animals on Rollins Road

The week of Sept. 16, 2006, three local business owners challenged the use of animal shelters or rescue centers in the Rollins Road area aside from the previously approved Peninsula Humane Society.

job or worse job teaching children? Of course not. Once you get higher and higher, the differences among scores become increasingly irrelevant Many Realtors have told me that new families moving to San Carlos have said they want to live in one neighborhood because one school had an API score of 910 and the other had an API score of 890. Even if API was the most important measure (which its not), that difference tells you nothing. Its more likely due to a random variance in the population in any given grade. API doesnt tell you how your child is doing, or will do API is a summative assessment which may give you aggregate data on a group of students and point out trends that warrant further investigation, but it does not, in and of itself, give you any specic information on how to affect the learning of any individual student. APIs distract from the bigger picture Theres an old saying, you manage what you measure. And unfortunately, API is one of the few things that every district in the state measures. Any educational expert will tell you that it should be only one of dozens of measures of student and school performance. However, we dont measure all of those important things, so its hard to blame people for emphasizing the only major metric we have. Our state and federal public policy is based on a series of carrots and sticks related to that number (No Child Left Behind, etc.) and its not just a cliche that it encourages teaching to the test because of this singular pressure point. Its so 20th century well, more precisely, 19th century. Our testing regimens are based on a centuries-old model of schools in which a group of students is lectured to by an
The most important unimportant number

By Seth Rosenblatt
alifornia parents, prospective parents, education professionals and other caring citizens often wait anxiously for the one day each year when they nd out how their school performed in the annual API (Academic Performance Index) reports. That day came earlier this month. Here in San Carlos (as in many other communities in the Bay Area), our schools performed exceptionally well. Above 800 is considered an exceptional score, and all San Carlos Elementary School District schools have been above this level for as long as Ive lived here, and they, on average, have continually climbed each year. This year our elementary schools all scored between 878-952. OK, we can celebrate. But only for a few minutes. Because there are so many reasons why, despite all of the hype, the API is the most overused and overweighted statistic in education. In fact, there is a signicant dark side to the API parents make decisions on what neighborhood they want to live in because of it, schools and teachers get punished for it, and most importantly, it detracts from the broader mission and responsibilities of public schools. Dont get me wrong I like having high API scores in our district, and its always a good sign that they generally creep upward, but we all put way too much emphasis on it and misinterpret its meaning. A few to emphasize: API scores often say more about the population than they do about the quality of the school for example, the district has, on occasion, relocated a number of the Special Day Classes from one school to another. This is obviously a population that on average will struggle more academically than its peers. Guess what? When such a move happens, the API scores of those schools adjust. Does that mean one school is suddenly doing a better

Sitting out of the 2012 election? Its your choice
Editor, President Obama saved this nation from a total nancial collapse. He preserved millions of American jobs with stimulus packages, rescued the disintegrating U.S. auto industry and has been slowly but steadily cleaning up eight years of Bush wreckage. He passed the largest health care reform program in American history. He has brought home tens of thousands of American troops and supported our wounded warriors and military families on an unprecedented scale. He killed Osama bin Laden and hundreds of other international terrorists, nally exacting justice for 9/11 and erasing the stain that Bushs and Cheneys failures had left on this nations honor. He has also restored American credibility and the inspiration of freedom around the world. Yet thats not enough for letter writer Peter Cross (Perpetual downer in the Sept. 7 edition of the Daily Journal). Incredibly, he and others like him are considering sitting out 2012 and surrendering to the extreme right. It is not Obamas courage that is lacking. It is that of the whimpering liberals who expected nonstop miracles and whine endlessly when they do not come. It is they who are now making noises about eeing the political battleeld when courage is most needed. Stand with the president or cut and run, Cross its your choice. But if the granddaughter you cherish reaches adulthood in a conservative nation without Social Security, Medicare, abortion rights, unions, stem cell research or real science classes in schools, you and your liberal friends will have no one but your sniveling selves to blame.

Although this problem is almost universally recognized, there is no imminent solution. Ideally, this needs to be implemented on a broad (state or federal) level, but here in San Carlos we will spend a good portion of the year discussing the denition of a 21st century education, and a big part of that will be what we can, and should, measure to gauge both the advancement of our children and performance of our schools. How do we measure critical thinking, teamwork, analysis of information, communication skills and the many other attributes that will be much better predictors of our childrens success in the current era? Until we make further progress on areas of measurement, I encourage everyone in our community to de-emphasize these test scores. There really is no material difference among our schools, and anyone who asks me where in San Carlos they should live, I say: live in the part of town you would like to live in; the school will be excellent regardless.

NEW YORK A promise by European leaders to help Greece avoid default sent stocks sharply higher Wednesday for the third straight day. The leaders of Greece, France and Germany agreed in a teleconference that Greece was an integral part of the 17country bloc that uses the euro. Greece also said it would stick to agreements to trim its debts, a condition for getting more nancial help. The statements were intended to calm fears that Greece was headed for default or might be forced to drop the euro.

Consumers pull back on retail spending

By Christopher S. Rugaber and Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON U.S. consumers grew more cautious last month amid wild stock market swings, zero job growth and heightened concerns that the economy has weakened. Retail sales were at in August. At the same time, wholesale ination leveled off. The latest data could give the Federal Reserve more impetus to adopt additional stimulus next week. The combination of those two reports sets the stage for, and warrants, additional action by the Fed, said Michelle
Meyer, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Wall Street looked past the weak retail sales data. Growing optimism that European leaders would be able to contain their debt crisis drove stocks higher. The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 140 points for the day. In August, consumers spent less on autos, clothing and furniture, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. Hurricane Irene disrupted sales along the East Coast, analysts said. But many consumers were also spooked after a grim month that renewed recession fears. The government reported that the
economy barely grew in the rst half of the year. Lawmakers fought over raising the debt ceiling. Standard & Poors downgraded long-term U.S. debt for the rst time in history. Stocks tumbled the Dow lost nearly 16 percent of its value from July 21 through Aug. 10. As a result, consumer condence fell in August to its lowest level since April 2009, when the economy was still in recession. And employers added no net jobs during the month. The government retail sales report is the rst major read on consumer spending for August. Consumer spending is important because it accounts for 70 percent of economic activity.

Neukom to retire as Giants controlling owner

By Bill McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Bill Neukom will retire as the San Francisco Giants controlling owner at the end of the year and be replaced by Larry Baer as chief executive ofcer. The team said Wednesday night it had been planning a transition for the bow-tie wearing Neukom from his decision-making job with
Bill Neukom
the reigning World Series champions and he will step down in December. The Giants planned a news conference with Baer and Neukom on Thursday. A former Microsoft lawyer who will become the Giants chairman
emeritus for 2012, Neukom took over as managing partner from Peter Magowan in October 2008. Until the Giants captured the franchises rst World Series title since moving West in 1958, Neukom had been best known for more than two decades of work as a Microsoft attorney and as a president of the American Bar Association. He served as top counsel for Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates.
When Neukom took over for Magowan, Baer remained the teams key executive in day-to-day operations while jumping from executive vice president to team president. A fourth-generation San Franciscan, Baer was an assistant to CBS Inc. chairman Laurence Tisch in New York when he helped put together the ownership group with Magowan in 1992 that prevented the Giants from moving to St. Petersburg, Fla.
Mercy sweeps Bearcats

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The beginning of the 2011 volleyball season nds the team from San Mateo High in search of a couple of things among them a leader, someone with a killer instinct, or in the words of coach Chris Tigno, that edge. The lack of those things have translated to a slow start for the Bearcats (1-3 overall) and Wednesday night West Bay Athletic League power Mercy-Burlingame took advantage of that, beating San Mateo 28-26, 25-20, 25-17. I think were too nice sometimes, Tigno said. We just need to develop that killer instinct. I think weve been competitive, but we need that extra something to put us over the top. While San Mateo searches, it seems as though the Crusaders have found a winning formula. We wanted to win the pass and serve battles, said Mercy coach Ed Parker. I was definitely satised with our performance. They fought hard. Every game is an opportunity for us to get better and I think we did that tonight. As was the case a week ago against Hillsdale, San Mateo lost an extended rst set that set the tone early. The Crusaders traded point after point in set one, with the game being tied at several instances. Whenever one team seemed to seize control, the other would go on a mini-run to claw back in. At 17-17, it was Mercy who build a two-point lead, only to see it vanish with a four-point run by the Bearcats. Mercy responded with ve straight points to take a 24-21 advantage. But San Mateo came right back and retook the lead on Karyn Jacobs second kill of the game, 25-24. The Crusaders answered by winning four of the last ve, the nal two points coming courtesy of Ali Healy, who had a kill and a block. Were a young team, Parker said. (But) I knew winning the pass and the serve gave us a better chance of winning the match. The next two sets saw the Crusaders jump out to early leads that the Bearcats simply could not overcome. In set two, Mercy went up 4-0 after three straight Shay Scerri aces and a Healy kill. They increased their lead to 6-1 before San Mateo nally seemed to get in the groove of

t appears the principal at Piedmont Hills High School may have opened up a big can of worms: one which will end badly for either her or the students at the North San Jose school. It was reported this week that school administrators, in an effort to crack down on dress-code violations, informed members of the schools cheerleading squad their uniform skirts were too short to be worn during class. They were asked to wear either sweatpants, leggings or anything else to cover up. Not all the cheerleading skirts, apparently, were in violation of the schools dress code. Reports also said there was no rule on skirt length during the games at which the cheerleading teams perform. Susan Li, co-captain of the Aragon cheerleading squad, said she had not heard of the situation at Piedmont Hills, but believes if the rules say skirts have to be a certain length, the team should abide. I dont think its unreasonable, Li said. I dont think they were picking on cheerleaders. If someone was wearing shortshorts, they would say something. Krista Fonseca, Aragon assistant cheer coach who also had not heard of the controversy, was fairly condent skirt length would not be a problem for her squad. Fonseca, who cheered for the Dons and graduated in 2004, has been a dancer and cheerleader her whole life. She takes the sport seriously and would not allow members of the Aragon team to wear provocative clothing. We run the program pretty strict, Fonseca said, adding the coaching staff is present when the girls try on and t their uniforms, and would veto anything they deemed inappropriate.

Buster Poseys progress encouraging to Giants

By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Buster Posey is still on schedule to catch a bullpen session in Arizona before seasons end a goal established by the San Francisco training staff after the reigning NL Rookie of the Year went down with a season-ending broken left leg in May. Posey played catch on the eld with athletic trainer Dave Groeschner on Wednesday
before the Giants series nale with the San Diego Padres. It was Poseys third such session of catch. He passed me while walking in today. I said, Geez, youve got a lot of hop to your step now, manager Bruce Bochy Buster Posey said. Hes feeling good about where hes at. Posey was headed to Arizona late
Wednesday when the team headed on the road in order to increase his rehabilitation routine and is set to begin hitting off a tee next week. Hes pretty accelerated right now, Groeschner said. Hell just keep progressing. Posey was lost for the season after tearing three ligaments in his left ankle and fracturing a bone in his lower leg in a frightening homeplate collision with Floridas Scott Cousins on May 25. He may be a little bit ahead or right on,
Groeschner said. Thats great, but weve still got to get to the nish line. Wed like him to catch a bullpen in Arizona before he goes home. Thats the goal we set two months ago, so he has the condence he can do it. Losing Posey was a huge blow for the defending World Series champions, who began the day trailing the rst-place Arizona Diamondbacks by 8 1/2 games in the NL West.

Skyline limps into conference opener

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The preseason schedule for the Skyline womens soccer team has resulted in a bit of a mixed bag. One the one hand, the Lady Trojans have outscored their opponents 12-9 en route to a 2-2 record. And players like Katie Jaques, who scored a hat trick in Skylines most recent win, have a been a nice revelation for coach Kevin Corsiglia. But on the other hand, Skyline has been hit with a bit of an injury bug
and go into todays Coast Conference opener against Mission College limping a little. Also, they enter league play knowing that they have some work to do if theyre to be considered in the upper echelon of teams in Northern California. Those two games in the middle, Santa Rosa was the No. 1 team in the country and Modesto is off to a really good start and those were two really tough tests for us. We played well at times against Santa Rosa. I thought we hung with them for a while and Modesto, they had a little too much speed than what we can
handle. We played well, but not well enough to win that game, Corsiglia said. The Trojans bounced back from those two losses, and responded with a 7-0 win over Mendocino. In that game, Adriana Cortes, Skylines sensational center midelder, had ve assists. Its good to be challenged by those teams, the Santa Rosas and Modestos, Corsiglia said, that show we have work to do. If we ran through the preseason beating everyone 7-0, then you get a false
sense of who you are. Playing a Santa Rosa was kind of an eyeopener and the girls responded well. The next day at practice it was, We got work to do. Lets get out there and put in extra time and next time if we have to face them in the playoffs, itll be a different story. Skylines response has been highlighted by the emergence of players like Jaques, who have to step in with injuries to Jazmin Cazares, who scored in her Trojans debut but suffered a leg injury. Cazares has sat out the last three games but Corsiglia expects her to return soon.
The former Mills standout is expected to make a huge contribution to the Trojans offensively in 2011. We dont have a huge roster, so everyone is going to be counted on, Corsiglia said. Theyve all responded well no matter who I put in the game or what I ask them to do theyre all buying into the system, theyre buying into what were trying to do as a team. Kickoff for Skylines league opener is scheduled for 2 p.m. in San Bruno.
Janikowski reects on record-tying kick

By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA When Sebastian Janikowski lined up for a recordtying 63-yard field goal attempt there was little doubt he had the leg to get it there in the thin air of Denver. The Oakland Raiders ran the ball up the middle on the previous play for no gain just to set him up on the left hash mark. The Broncos didnt even put a returner in the end zone in case the ball came up short. It didnt. The ball cleared the crossbar with a little room to spare, putting Janikowskis name in the record book alongside Tom Dempsey and Jason Elam with the longest eld goals in NFL history. Im excited. I didnt sleep last night, talking to my wife, friends calling. I was waiting a long time 12 years, Janikowski said Wednesday. Only two other guys have done it. Dempsey and Jason Elam. Its an honor, but I always want to break it. The most impressive part is that he didnt hit the ball square so he
could hit one even longer if the situation was right. Janikowski said he thought he could hit one from 74 or 75 yards in the thin air of Denver Sebastian and probably Janikowski from about 68 closer to sea level. He hit from 70 yards in warmups with plenty of room to spare. He has gone even longer in previous trips to Denver or on the training camp eld in Napa when he got a ball ush, according to holder Shane Lechler. He didnt hit it good at all. I thought he mis-hit it, he thought he miss-hit it, Lechler said. But still it was enough to carry it there. The record-tying boot might not have even been the most impressive for Janikowski in his career. In December 2009, Janikowski hit a 61-yarder that barely cleared the crossbar on a cold day in Cleveland. He has 21 career eld goals of at least 50 yards, including a 59-yarder in franchise history to have his jersey number retired, joining Al Attles, Rick Barry, Wilt Chamberlain, Tom Meschery and Nate Thurmond. Chris Mullin Mullin finished with 17,911 points in 986 games.
last year against Indianapolis and a record 57-yarder in overtime to beat the New York Jets in 2008. Cleveland was the hardest one, he said. I mean, it was cold, and it was snowing a little bit. But in Cleveland I hit it solid. This one I didnt hit it solid. Janikowski has had a couple of chances to break the record, falling well short of a 76-yard attempt in 2008 against San Diego in Lane Kifns nal game as Raiders coach and hitting the right upright on a 64yard attempt late in the rst half against Houston the previous season. Lechler said he wasnt tempted at all to spot the ball on the 46-yard line to make it a 64-yard attempt for the record because the situation was too important with Oakland on top 13-3. We were a full yard in front of it, completely. There was no hesitation, Lechler said. Maybe if the score had been last years score (357 at halftime) but not in that situation. Janikowski started getting ready as soon as Matt Giordano intercepthandful of potential buyers who have expressed interest in purchasing the club and keeping it in Louisiana. Jack Sperling says the Hornets have made substantial progress toward securing the revenue streams necessary to remain in New Orleans long-term. He says a 100-day series of social events aimed at attracting more community support has built the Hornets full season ticket base to 9,007, but that the goal remains 10,000. Sperling, who attended one such social event Wednesday night, says a little more work on tickets sales, sponsorships and a new lease of the state-owned New Orleans Arena remains before he will initiate serious negotiations with prospective buyers.
ed a pass at the Oakland 24 with 24 seconds left in the half. A facemask penalty on Kevin Vickerson moved the ball out to the 39 and a 16-yard pass to Marcel Reece got the Raiders in position at the Denver 45. Coach Hue Jackson then called for a run up the middle that netted no gain but put Janikowski on his preferred left hash mark for the record-tying kick. I knew hes going to try a long one. Hed been talking about it all week, hes going to give me a chance, Janikowski said. Every time we cross the 50-yard line I warm up anyway because you never know whats going to happen. But Denver, you know, thats the different story. Janikowski has been at his best so far this season at age 33. He hit a pair of 57-yarders off the ineld dirt at the Coliseum in each direction during preseason and then the big kick in Denver. He credits the success to being in better shape and in a better mindset. Just do more weights, work out with those guys here, he said. I think Ive gotten more relaxed. I
know that Ive been making long eld goals and were going to try long eld goals and I feel more relaxed out there. Janikowskis ability on long kicks impacts the way opposing teams have to defend the Raiders late in the half or game. While most kickers dont get into range until their team crosses the 40-yard line, Janikowski is a threat from much deeper. Dont let them get to the 50, especially if theres any wind at all, Buffalo coach Chan Gailey said. You cant assume that hes going to make every one of those but, again, you cant discount it, as well. So, if they get to the 50, you start getting nervous. Notes: The Raiders had ofcials at practice after committing 15 penalties in the opener. ... TE Kevin Boss returned to practice for the rst time since spraining his left knee on Aug. 20 in an exhibition game against San Francisco. ... WR Jacoby Ford (hamstring), S Michael Huff (groin), DT Richard Seymour, WR Louis Murphy (hamstring), S Mike Mitchell (knee) all missed practice. Brandon said the near ve-month lockout, which ended in late July, made it far too difcult for his sales staff to reach out to potential new customers over a seven-week span. He noted the economic slump hasnt helped, particularly when it comes to a rust-belt region such as Western New York. And he made sure to blame the Bills own on-eld troubles. On the bright side, Brandon is encouraged by the feedback he said his staff is receiving from fans. He added individual-game, and group sales of tickets have been selling briskly, and the teams suite sales are up over last year. Three years ago, the Bills sold 56,011 season tickets, the second highest total in franchise history.

Beltran powers Giants to sweep of Padres

sixth with a splash hit into McCovey Cove to put the Giants ahead. It marked the sluggers 30th career multihomer game, third this year and rst since joining San Francisco in a trade from the Mets on July 28. Beltran is one of the best Carlos Beltran players in the National League. And hes got that in him, Padres manager Bud Black said. Lincecum (13-12) outdueled Mat Latos (7-14) for his rst win since beating the Padres on Aug. 24. The defending World Series champion Giants began the day trailing the rst-place Diamondbacks by 8 1/2 games in the NL West. Arizona had a night game at Los Angeles. San Francisco has its rst four-game winning streak since July 9-15.
SAN FRANCISCO In less than two months, Carlos Beltran has been through a crosscountry move to switch teams and a hand and wrist injury that landed him on the disabled list. That left little time to think about his latest milestone: home run No. 300. Beltran connected twice to give him 300 for his career and Tim Lincecum ended a three-start winless stretch in the San Francisco Giants 3-1 victory over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday that completed a rare sweep in this rivalry. It means a lot for me, actually. Thank God for that, being able to play this game for a long time, said Beltran, both knees wrapped in ice bags and his hand sore. Three hundred, for a guy from Manati, Puerto Rico, a small town, its good. Beltran became the sixth Puerto Rican-born player to reach 300 home runs. He homered in the rst inning and again in the
Lincecum allowed four hits and an unearned run in seven innings. He struck out six and walked two as the Giants wrapped up their rst winning home series in the last eight sets since taking two of three against Milwaukee from July 22-24. September call-up Hector Sanchez caught Lincecum for the rst time. A lot of credit goes to Sanchez for making adjustments from our rst inning on, Lincecum said. After Dan Runzler walked pinch-hitter Chris Denora to start the eighth, Sergio Romo relieved and retired the side in order. He pumped his st after striking out Cameron Maybin to end the inning. Santiago Casilla nished with a 1-2-3 ninth for his third save. San Diego, which dropped its fourth straight this season at AT&T Park and sixth in seven games, was swept in a series of three or more games against the Giants for the rst time since Aug. 22-24, 2008. This was San Franciscos rst sweep this year since taking three in a row June 24-26 from Cleveland.
It was largely because of Beltran. The sluggers shot into the water beyond the right-eld arcade was the fourth by a Giants player this year, 59th by San Francisco overall and No. 83 in the history of the 12-year-old ballpark. Home run king Barry Bonds has 35 of them. He makes this park look small at times, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. I think it puts you in a really elite class 500 is the benchmark for guys who are going in the Hall of Fame, 300 is quite a feat. Few guys have done that. Beltran also homered over the elevated brick wall in right to tie the game in the rst. He went 7 for 12 (.583) with a double, three homers and four RBIs in the series and is batting .520 (13 for 25) with four homers in seven games against San Diego this season. You really have to hit the ball good in order to hit it out, Beltran said. Thats why in the dugout we always talk about what Barry Bonds did here for many years.

That can have a lot of effects, Melvin said. Psychologically theres a momentum shift. Errors make a team struggle and bogs you down. Weve worked on it ad nauseam. In theory, next spring, it will be the No. 1 priority. Meanwhile, just as it appears the As will get Coco Crisp back in the lineup, theyll lose Ryan Sweeney to an upper quad strain. Crisp has not played since Friday because of a right shin contusion. He took batting practice in the cage and Melvin indicated theres a chance hell be in the lineup Thursday night. Sweeney will likely miss the rest of the season after feeling tightness in his leg just above the I talked to Buster quite a while this morning. Hes feeling good, hes in a good frame of mind, Bochy said. I think hes excited now he can do a few more things. He even jogged a little bit on the treadmill and hes playing catch. Once he gets to Arizona hell start swinging the bat. Hes been missing that, you can tell. Hes excited hes getting to a point now where he can turn up the baseball activities. Its been a tough summer for him, not just watching games but not able to really do a lot. Now he can get back to doing what he really loves, playing baseball.

Thats been the biggest weakness in the club this year, Melvin said after watching his team commit two more errors in the Athletics 4-1 loss to Jered Weaver and the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday.

right knee wile running out an ineld grounder. This whole year is getting frustrating for me, mentally and physically, Sweeney said. Just as I get back into the lineup I have this. Its been an issue before and I didnt think much of it. I just have to get it better. Weaver went seven innings for his career-best 17th win and Mark Trumbo hit a tiebreaking homer in the sixth to help the Angels take the series from Oakland. Josh Willingham matched his career high of 26 home runs with a solo shot off Weaver in the third but the As managed only two baserunners over the nal six innings. Weaver (17-7) allowed six hits with one walk and two strikeouts. He pitched out of a basescontinue their recoveries. Sanchez is still considered doubtful to pitch again this year because of a sprained left ankle that swells each time he throws. Schierholtz has a fractured right foot and is wearing a walking boot, at least until this weekend. Schierholtz, who traveled to Vail, Colo., last week to see foot specialist, Dr. Tom Clanton, fouled a pitch from Atlantas Tim Hudson off his foot in the series opener with the Braves on Aug. 15. Schierholtz played through it, then had an MRI on Aug. 22. A CT scan followed to conrm the fracture. Bochy didnt rule out Schierholtz getting into a game before the season ends.
loaded situation in the rst and escaped a twoon, one-out jam in the second to beat the As for the third time in four starts this season. That lowered the lanky right-handers ERA to 2.40, second in the AL behind Detroit ace Justin Verlander (2.36). Weaver also improved to 13-0 this year when going at least seven innings. The As, who still lead the season series 9-7, had Weaver in trouble early but couldnt deliver with runners on base. We had opportunities early and then he shut us down, As starter Rich Harden said. Thats the type of pitcher he is. Oakland has been held to one run or fewer 30 times this season. The As are 34-51 in games in which they commit an error. I hope to take BP the last week here, Schierholtz said. Id like to do all my baseball work before the season ends so I go into the offseason knowing Im 100 percent healthy. Injured closer Brian Wilson, last seasons majors saves leader, played light catch and is scheduled to throw live batting practice Thursday as he works back from an inamed right elbow.

I know he wants to get back out there, so if all goes well tomorrow we could see him in a game before the seasons over.

every year, those expectations are not realistic for a team that no longer includes two-time national player of the year Maya Moore. Moore led UConn to four straight Final Four appearances, winning national titles in 2009 and 2010, and became the top pick in the WNBA draft in the spring. I wouldnt want to lower the expectations, Auriemma said during an appearance at an East dont care. Both Fonseca and Bandov, however, would bristle at administrators telling their athletes how to dress, because, in some ways, it reects on them as coaches, which in essence is saying the coaches dont really know what is appropriate. I dont like the idea of telling them how to wear their uniforms, Fonseca said. What does it matter if theyre walking to class and sitting down, or tumbling (during a game) and their skirt is ying everywhere? Its such a ne line. In the end, however, coaches are simply employees of the school. At the end of the day, the administrator is my boss, Bandov said. Whatever they say, I have to go with. The biggest problem with the Piedmont Hills situation is the appearance of selective enforcement of the dress code. Go to any physical education class and you will no doubt nd girls wearing shorts that come nowhere near complying with any campus dress code. If administrators go after cheerleaders, then they need to go after the shortshort wearers in P.E. class. And what about the spandex shorts worn by volleyball players? Or the short skirts/dresses some female tennis players Hartford Chamber of Commerce breakfast. But I will say, I dont think were going to win a national championship this year. Sorry, I would like to, but I dont think we are. Now if the other guys screw up, which they are capable of doing, then weve got a chance. Auriemma said those other guys the teams who should be favored to win are Notre Dame, Tennessee and Baylor, each of wear? You know, the pants the football team wears are awfully tight. Ah, but here we run into another gray area. Administrators will say those sports are after school and thus are not, technically, under administrative rule. By saying any skirt length in acceptable while performing at games means the dress code is not enforced at games. Which should also mean any other rule that is enforced during the school day is not enforced at the game or after school. So, a kid coming to school drunk is not OK, but showing up at a game loaded is? I know its a ridiculous question. But administrators need to denitively dene what is considered a school function and what isnt. To me, any time a schools team is playing a game, its a school function and all rules applied during the school day apply to the event as well. In this case, if the skirts are too short during the school day, they are too short for game time. Case closed. There shouldnt be two different standards.

it, Fonseca continued. We want them looking like young women. You have to look like classy women, not to look like the stereotypical cheerleader. Their job is to get the crowd energized, not to be looked at (in a perverse way). Maybe the solution is to change the culture or the way certain athletes are perceived. Coaches are at the forefront of this and they should be the rst line of defense when it comes to deciding what is appropriate. Fonseca believes she knows what is acceptable, as does Ivan Bandov, a Burlingame graduate who is the new girls varsity soccer coach at Mountain View High.

Mercy jumped out to the same 6-1 lead in the third set, scoring a couple of those points when San Mateo failed to communicate properly. The difference in set three was that the Crusaders did not let San Mateo hang around. Near the end of the match, Kelly Ghiroso got hot serving the ball for the Bearcats, leading them on a ve-point run. But all that did was make the outcome of set three a little less lopsided at 25-17. Fusaro had four kills for the Crusaders in the set. Were young and were relatively experienced, Tigno said. San Mateo had been up in the Bay Division for some time now, and wed like to contend, not just in matches, but for the league title. Right now, we need to nd a leader, and someone who ll the shoes of some of the great players who have graduated. Were going to be OK, but there is denitely a learning curve for us.

SANTA CLARA Alex Smith found himself in a few precarious positions in his rst game under Jim Harbaugh: throwing blocks, diving for a touchdown and getting a bear hug from the new San Francisco 49ers coach. The bumps and bruises that still dotted Smiths body Wednesday earned him high praise from teammates and coaches, which also has been a rare mark in his six previous NFL seasons. Even with the added aches and pains from a bruising win, another seasonopening loss would have felt far worse.
Its a lot better than 0-1, he said. Smith showed the poise and polish of a veteran in San Franciscos 33-17 victory over Seattle on Sunday, guiding the offense slowAlex Smith ly but steadily and giving a glimpse of promise to a franchise long waiting for him to prove his worth. While Harbaugh emphatically embraced the 2005 No. 1 overall pick, Smith will need to lead the offense to a lot more than one touch-
down before the 49ers faithful do the same. Winning will certainly help heal old wounds. I think Alex has been sort of victimized with the coaches in the past, left tackle Joe Staley said. Its great to see the connection now and the belief from the players as well as the coaches. Smith threw for a modest 124 yards and completed 15 of 20 passes with no turnovers against the Seahawks. What had Harbaugh hyped and players riled up on the sidelines was the gusto Smith showed in sacricing his body to make plays, whipping the 49ers sideline into a frenzy more than once.

Modern home decor out of historys hope chest

By Kim Cook
Contemporary home decor is yielding a little this season to a more traditional style evocative of the Edwardian and Victorian eras. Were seeing steamer trunks used as tables, Victorian illustrative prints and wallpapers, and new versions of period furniture. If youre interested in experimenting with this look without going all in, consider vintage linens. The craftsmanship and uniqueness of ne old linens draw collectors, as well as decorators who like to mix old and new a vintage quilt on a modern slab bed, for example, or an antique lace tablecloth dressed with chic tableware. Once considered an important part of a womans personal belongings, vintage cotton and damask napery, bed and bath linens are often wonderful examples of the loom and needle arts. Textile weaving, lace tatting and embroidery could take craftspeople hundreds of hours; the resulting pieces were treasured, loved and passed along through families. And sooner or later, some are given up to the marketplace, for new owners to enjoy. English-born Anna Redgrave of Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, owns Highland Lace, a vintage linens web shop. Her lifelong passion for antique textiles was nurtured by her grandmother, a member of the Royal Needlework Society and a seamstress at Buckingham Palace. She was responsible for finding and sewing all the embellishments on the ball gowns, says Redgrave. The Society was the same group that, 60 years later, made the
modern and traditional styles. She began her textile collection with a 90-year-old set of lace-trimmed bed linens passed down from her great aunt. They were made by an order of nuns for her aunts trousseau in her small village in Belgium. But she never married. says Nicholson. Her anci was killed in World War I, and she never used them. They passed to my aunt who also never used them. Finally they came to me, and I have them on my two mahogany guest beds.
WHERE AND WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Theres a large vintage-linen fan base, Redgrave says, and French monogrammed pieces, linen napkins and vintage lace hankies sell out fast. Monogrammed pieces were usually handed down, so theyre highly valued, Redgrave says. A woman would have her personal and household linens embroidered with her initials because they were part of her personal wealth, and went with her when she married. Nicholson looks for linens with a nice weave. If youre buying 40s and 50s tablecloths, look for good workmanship and strong color. Look for linens that have a soft hand and a warm smell, Redgrave advises. Damasks should shimmer, and shouldnt If you nd a linen item you love but its not in the best of shape, dont pass it by.Torn seams smell musty or bleached, she says.

Some decor trends for fall, beyond

By Kim Cook
Attending the New York International Gift Fair is a little like watching television with a teenager: Lots of eye-catching visuals whiz by as the channels keep changing. The fairs home decor section is vast. Contemporary design parks next to rustic found objects; swanky silk pillows festoon one booth while rag rugs ll another. Among the many interesting decor themes that emerged at last months show, a few are likely to have staying power well through fall and winter into next spring and summer, with seasonal tweaks:
accessories, tufted and soignie leather chairs, and 70s colors like tangerine and aquamarine. One set of circusy storage jars read Quaaludes, another Ganja. Umbra and several other designers used walnut furniture designs apparent new favorite to craft sideboards, storage and coffee tables. Look for walnut or walnut veneer to dominate as elements of the 60s and 70s meet modern design. West Elm and Crate & Barrel are showing many pieces in this nish in their fall books, and it looks both retro and brand new.
QUIET AND CALM

Muted ceramics were everywhere. Lawrence McCraes lacy pottery lamps were lovely and modern. Germanys Asa Collection showed white, aqua, black and turquoise ceramics that were glossy on the inside, matte on the outside. New York Citys Klein Reid studio showed their Hawthorne satin-glazed vessels in hues of curry, olive, and a chilly but beautiful Atlantic blue. Textile booths with pretty embroidery, rufes, lace and diminutive prints were generating lots of trafc, as were those with watery colored silks, soft wools and gently embellished nishes.
HOTEL LUXE
Several studios staged rooms that resembled high-end boutique hotel suites. Gleaming chrome-legged furniture was topped with everything from nubby silk upholstery to cowhide and melty leathers. Neutral palettes ran from warm earth, caramel and cream to cooler soot, putty and decors new darling grayed mauve. Sensuous and sophisticated, the spaces often included unexpected accessories. Oly Studio had a lush tufted rug like a raked Japanese sand garden, and a huge honeycombed pendant light resembling a skeletal form. A buffed metallic demilune tablet looked chic. At DwellStudio, there was a smoky console clad in silverleaf, pillows in soft graphic and chinoiserie prints, and etched vessels in gold and silver.
Among the many interesting decor themes that emerged at the New York International Gift Fair,a few are likely to have staying power well through fall and winter.
Finnish studios offering woven wool pillow covers, blankets, wall hangings and even trivets cut into star, tree and animal patterns. Buy up all the unbleached linen you can nd; it was hotter than a January hearth. Judy Ross, Tina Frey, Studio Pateo and Christen Maxwell were just a few of the designers playing successfully with folk art motifs on linen, hemp and cotton. Blanket manufacturer Pendleton, known for its signature Native American designs, had a new contemporary Navajo pattern. Los Angeles Ige Design displayed some wonderful walnut veneer and paper mobiles in owl and bird-on-branch designs. Joe Cariati of Los Angeles showed decanters with such delicate opacity and hue that they resembled soap bubbles. Californias Siemon and Salazar whipped liquid glass into stunning pendant lights. Found here too were little cloud-like Cumuli glass lamps, and swirls of rich color layered into voluptuous but diminutive lighting, many with the new dimmable LEDs. Gaia + Gino had sexy stacked block candlesticks, and Sebastian Bergnes Nazar group of Eye ceramics in saturated hues. Vessels of all shapes and sizes were one of the shows strongest elements.
COLOR CONTINUES
If saturated hues kick your imagination into high gear, youll be happy to know that vibrant color continues to have design heft. Powder-coated metal trash cans, hooks and shelving were clad in M&M hues, which made the utilitarian fun. Suzanis, batiks, ikats, and other village and tribal prints ran strong. Brights were big, but several designers reinterpreted the designs in the newest palette muted purple, carbon, lemongrass and clay.

the payment schedule, there is some uncertainty as to whether the $6 million the city pledged to the project will be available when it is completed in two years. The city will not pay Sares-Regis the money for the affordable units until they are ready to be occupied, Marks said. It could be the last large-scale RDA project in the city for a long time, Marks said. There is a lot of uncertainty. It is anybodys guess what will happen. Im not sure what well do if the money is not there. The city also expected to contribute RDA money to construct affordable housing at the vacant 15-acre site adjacent to City Hall but that plan, too, is in peril with the states actions, Marks said. Marks hopes cleanup legislation in the state will clarify what a city can do with its redevelopment funds going forward. Mayor Linda Koelling is optimistic the citys contractual obligation with Sares-Regis will be met, however. It shouldnt be a threat to the project. That RDA money is already committed, Koelling said. She is critical of Gov. Jerry Brown and state lawmakers, though, for moving to disband the agencies. rinses it with warm water, pats it with towels and lays it at in bright sunshine. Nicholson is also a fan of sunshine to naturally bleach and dry linens, but she uses Sunlight bar soap to gently rub soiled areas, then pours hot water through the stain before laying the garment out to dry. Brown used RDA money to rehabilitate Oakland while he was mayor there, Koelling said. Im shocked by the governors move. Assembly Bill X1 26, signed by Brown earlier this year, calls for the elimination of local redevelopment agencies to help save the state about $2 billion a year. The state took the action to cut from a nearly $20 billion ongoing structural decit. The League of California Cities, however, is suing the state to stop the dissolution of the agencies. In Foster City, the Pilgrim-Triton master plan development agreement allows for 296,000 square feet of commercial and industrial ofce use on the 21-acre property at the north side of where State Route 92 and Hillsdale Boulevard intersect. The location site is at Pilgrim and Triton drives adjacent to a business park, Taco Bell and across the street from Carls Jr. Phase A of the project, to be constructed rst, allows for more than 300 multi-family residential apartment units, 17,000 square feet of commercial space and a parking garage on six acres of the property. An acre of the property is committed to a plaza. Sares-Regis has named Phase A The Plaza in Foster City. The Master Development Agreement has a the tubes or between the layers.

term of 10 years with a ve-year extension and includes trafc improvement payments of $2.6 million to improve off-site trafc from impacts of the development and for the widening of Triton Drive. The Phase A development agreement calls for a park fee payment of $4 million plus construction, maintenance and dedication of public access easement for a .69-acre plaza. The deal calls for ve moderate, 40 low and 15 very low income affordable units. The Community Development Agency will pledge $6.3 million to assist in the construction of the affordable housing units with the understanding the affordable rental units will remain that way for 55 years. The planning for the Pilgrim-Triton master plan has been in the works for more than ve years and ultimately will include a total of more than 700 residential units along with almost 300,000 square feet of commercial ofce space. Financing, though, for the additional housing in the next phases of the project has yet to be secured.

RDA
Development Director Richard Marks wonders whether the city will actually be able to make its commitment to the developers of the rst phase of the Pilgrim-Triton project to fund the construction of about 55 affordable housing units. Sares-Regis Group of Northern California secured the last building permits needed for the 307-unit luxury apartment mixed-use development Monday and is expected to complete the project in 2013. Part of the agreement calls for the developer to set aside many of those units as affordable and the citys Community Development Agency has pledged to subsidize the construction of the units by committing more than $6 million to the project.

HOW TO USE THEM

If you nd a linen item you love but its not in the best of shape, dont pass it by. Torn seams and holes can be darned; a stain can be hidden with a clever fold; a large piece can be cut and the salvaged remnant made into a pillow or mounted under glass. Use vintage lace-edged sheets as curtains, bedspreads, even room dividers.
Put embroidered hand towels in powder rooms. They serve well as wine glass towels, too. Have a tailor make them into little pillows or baby quilts as gifts, if you dont sew yourself.

The Book of Fine Linen, Francoise de Bonnevilles in-depth look at the history and range of household linens, was recently republished in English by Flammarion (2011). Full of lively stories, information and images, its an excellent resource for anyone interested in collecting or learning about the subject.
CARING FOR OLD LINENS

Redgrave soaks yellowed or spotted pieces in warm, slightly soapy water overnight, then mixes up 1/4 cup Oxiclean, a stain remover, with 1 1/2 gallons of water. After a few hours of steeping the garment in that mixture, she

ELECTION
Board of Trustees. The candidates visited the Daily Journal during two endorsement meetings Tuesday. While nancial limitations were central to most topics, candidates also saw opportunities through partnership and implementing programs that are successful elsewhere. Many of the districts issues are tied to limited funds. While losing about 20 percent of its overall budget, the district has also experienced an increase in students which allows for less per-pupil spending. As a result, class sizes have increased to around 30 for all grades and programs have been lost. All four saw funding as one of the biggest issues facing the district. Im proud of what weve done but without funding, its hard, said MacAvoy. The district has a committee looking at the possibility of a parcel tax an option which the community has previously failed to support but would provide money for programs. All four candidates liked the idea of the local funding. McBride pointed out, however, the most recent polls showed support for a $61 annual tax would generate about $1.5 million annually. While thats helpful, he said, it wont solve the nancial problems. Cuniberti-Duran wanted to take a more in-depth look at the salary and benet packages of district employees as a way to nd cost savings. She recognized this wouldnt be a popular option, but also felt cuts have been focused on the classroom previously while employee costs are a large part of the budget. Masur said a bond measure could offer relief if it was used to free up general fund money. Solar panels, for example, would cut down on electricity costs while updating technology could make differentiating instruction within the large classrooms easier, she said. Partnerships and looking for grant funding have also been key in providing services lately. As many districts are in need of outside nancial support, grants are harder to come by. Academic achievement is also a challenge with Redwood City schools students who have a variety of challenges like coming from poverty to not knowing English. Making changes despite the strict budget is necessary. Cuniberti-Duran wants that to come from diversifying learning opportunities which, she argued, should help teachers manage the larger class sizes. Masur and MacAvoy wanted to expand measures of success. Taking a test is one way to measure a students understanding and abilities, but those tests are often focused on only English and math. Being successful requires understanding of other skills and topics, both argued. Programs from other districts could offer affordable solutions. Incumbents noted district representatives constantly

visiting other programs. One which stood out in McBrides mind used community volunteers to help in the classrooms. Children with reading difculties, for example, could work in a small group with a volunteer. This gives the children more individual attention while helping the teacher with the class size, he said. For Cuniberti-Duran, safety was an issue that could help with success. She pointed to a spring eld trip on which students sexually assaulted two girls. Also, discipline problems create disruptions which takes away from a students ability to learn. She wanted to see a positive behavior intervention and support programs expanded throughout the district. The incumbents agreed safety should be a priority. In terms of the eld trip, the incumbents said the board has since revised its policies. When it comes to bullying, Masur was signing a Labor Commission complaint about the lack of employee breaks because there wasnt enough relief. Meanwhile, the suit states, Guevarra observed a work environment increasingly hostile to medical service providers of Filipino descent, including multiple postings of an English only policy. Volz said there is no policy requiring employees to converse with one another in English. For patients who speak another language, Volz said Seton uses an accredited translation agency specializing in medical terminology. are all located in cities that are leading the regional effort to reduce trash by considering or pursuing bans on plastic bags and polystyrene. The hot spots are also close to heavily-used areas and major transportation corridors, habitat for endangered species and Clean Water Act violations. In the Bay Area in 2010, Coastal Cleanup Day volunteers removed more
interested in using a program from the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District that works collaboratively with students in a two-pronged approach handled by the action and solutions teams. The action team identies the issues while the solution team deals with the individual cases of bullying. Teachers facilitate groups of students on both sides to work together and generate constructive criticism. Parents are involved along the way. And each student has a say in the process, she said. She liked the collaborative nature and changes that students made as a result.

The defendants committed the despicable acts with the wrongful intent of injuring Guevarra and with an improper and evil motive amounting to malice, the suit alleges. The suit claims Guevarras trouble began in September 2010 after she reported short stafng per union requirements and escalated in April 2011 after
On or around May 18, Guevarra posted on Facebook expressing her anger over being disallowed her contractually promised oating holiday which is the employees birthday, the suit states. The suit does not specify exactly what Guevarra wrote. Two days later, Boylan requested a temporary restraining order which was later extended until Sept. 12, according to court records.

A couple of contacts youve developed over the years might find themselves in positions of importance in the year ahead, and will be able to help you out in new and exciting ways. Theyll be happy to share the wealth. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You wont go unnoticed, but just be sure youre attracting attention for all the right reasons. Make certain youre not being too selfserving or merely showing off. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- When it comes to an agreement youre attempting to facilitate, you can expedite things by making some minor concessions. Set the example; youll get what you want.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be careful not to lock horns if you have to work in close proximity with someone who, like yourself, has his or her own way of doing things. Try to be accommodating. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- This might be one of those days when you could come off as being a bit one-sided with others. If you see something is amiss, adjust your scales to restore proper balance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Before becoming unduly agitated with anybody, total up this persons pros and cons. Theres a good chance you will find more to praise than condemn. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you hope to be successful, your objectives must first be clearly defined. If all you have are fuzzy outlines, dont start anything
without developing a game plan. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It could turn out to be an expensive recess, if on a whim you decide to take a day off. There is likely to be an opportunity awaiting you at work that you wont want to miss. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Just because those who love you tolerate your anger or outbursts, it doesnt give you license to vent excessively. Get hold of yourself and behave in a civil manner. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Dont be your own worst enemy and read more into what people do or say than intended. All youll do is make yourself miserable by falsely thinking that others harbor you ill will. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Assess the cost in terms
of time and money before committing yourself to a group involvement. If the figures look like theyre adding up to a hefty sum, you might want to gracefully bow out. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Figure out if the reason why things arent going too well for you lately is simply due to poor timing, or something far more serious. Get all your ducks in a row before moving forward. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Those with whom youre involved will respond to you in the same manner as you treat them. If you find them likable, theyll be gracious and friendly to you. If youre cool, expect rejection. COPYRIGHT 2011, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC.
