WASHINGTON The U.S.
economy generated jobs last month
at the fastest pace since February, a
sign it is resilient enough to pull out
of a midyear slump and grow mod-
estly even as the rest of the world
slows down.
The 163,000 jobs employers
added in July ended three months of
weak hiring. But the surprising
gains werent enough to drive down
the unemployment rate, which
ticked up to 8.3 percent last month
from 8.2 percent in June the 42nd
straight month the jobless rate has
exceeded 8 percent. The United
States remains stuck with the weak-
est economic recovery since World
War II.
The latest job numbers, released
Friday by the Labor Department,
provided fodder both for President
Barack Obama, who highlighted
improved hiring in the private sec-
tor, and Republican challenger Mitt
Romney, who pointed toward higher
unemployment.
Its not especially weak, but its
not especially strong, said Scott
Brown, chief economist at the
investment rm Raymond James.
Investors focused on the positive.
The Dow Jones industrials surged
217 points.
Three more monthly jobs reports
will come out before Election Day,
including the one for October on
Friday, Nov. 2, just four days before
Americans vote.

The Foster City Council is expect-
ed to make its final approvals
Monday night for the sale of an 11-
acre site that is currently being
leased by the North Peninsula
Jewish Campus.
If approved, the NPJC will pay
$20 million for the land and will
make a $1 million deposit to the city
and sign a $19 million promissory
note at 3.25 percent interest for 25
years.
The City Council approved a set
of business terms for the sale of the
land in April on a 4-1 vote with
Mayor Art Kiesel voting against it.
Kiesel will vote against the deal
again Monday, he told the Daily
Journal.
If the terms are the same then my
vote will be the same, Kiesel said.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A San Francisco man who stole pricey
Lego sets by switching the bar code for a
lower price sticker so he could turn a profit
selling them on eBay was sentenced Friday
to two months in jail.
Donald Michael Morales, 44, must also
spend three years on supervised probation
and repay Target $1,443.58. He was ordered
to surrender to the jail Sept. 29, said Deputy
District Attorney Karen Guidotti.
Morales reportedly told authorities after
his arrest that he was out of work and need-
ed the money. He also reportedly told
authorities he didnt make that much profit
because of the shipping and PayPal fees.
In June, Morales pleaded no contest to
three counts of commercial burglary rather
than stand trial on more than four times
that many charges stemming from inci-
dents at four different Target stores in San
Mateo County.
Morales was nabbed April 14 at the
Target in Redwood City but was released on
a misdemeanor citation because the arrest-
ing officer didnt know he was linked to
similar thefts at similar stores.
Detectives eventually linked him to 14
separate trips to Target stores between Feb.
20 and April 14 six in San Bruno, four in
San Mateo, three in Redwood City and one
in Daly City. In all but one, Morales
allegedly put a $15.99 price tag on
Millennium Falcon Lego sets and purchased
them with his own credit card. He then sold
the sets on eBay using PayPal.
News of Morales charges came on the
heels of a San Carlos tech executives arrest
for similar scams in Santa Clara County. In
that case, Thomas Langenbach is accused of
replacing the bar codes on $30,000 worth of
Legos to buy them for a lower price before
turning around and selling them online for a
hefty profit.
Lego thief builds criminal record
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A man charged with vehicular
manslaughter involving alcohol for a Daly
City crash that left one woman dead and
himself injured wasnt actually behind the
wheel, according to prosecutors who
charged him Friday with providing false
information to police and interfering with
the investigation.
Prosecutors alerted the court last week
that Kaixuan Lei, 48, wasnt the driver in
the July 12 crash on Interstate 280 and he
was released from custody. On Friday, he
was back in court for prosecutors to drop
the felony charges and add the misde-
meanors.
Lei pleaded not guilty to the new charges
and was given an Oct. 29 jury trial date.
Lei was arrested in the death of Christy
Fok, 30, following the July 12 crash after
being treated for his own injuries. The
California Highway Patrol reported Lei was
under the influence of alcohol and prosecu-
tors say a test three hours later showed an
alcohol level of .06.
Prosecutors arent clear exactly why Lei
lied about being behind the wheel of the
2000 Jeep Cherokee when it crossed over
the left lanes of northbound Interstate 280
north of Hickey Boulevard and flipped sev-
eral times before going up an embankment.
Fok was ejected and died the following
morning at the hospital.
Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti
said authorities speculate Lei was covering
for another man who had been in the vehi-
cle but fled after the crash just before 10
p.m.
Lei identified the man as the driver and
he also visited Lei and the other woman in
the hospital, Guidotti said.
Defense attorney John Elworth did not
return a call for comment.
The other man in the car has not been
charged with any crime.
All we can prove is that Lei wasnt the
driver. We cant necessarily prove the other
guy was, Guidotti said.

FRESNO As demand for locally grown
fruit and vegetables has increased, so too
has the number of urban farmers markets
sprouting up across the nation.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture
announced Friday that the number of direct-
sales markets has increased 9.6 percent in
the past year, with California and New York
leading the way.
Farmers markets are a critical ingredient
to our nations food system, USDA Deputy
Secretary Kathleen Merrigan said. These
outlets provide benefits not only to the
farmers looking for important income
opportunities, but also to the communities
looking for fresh, healthy foods.
After 18 years of steady increases, the
number of farmers markets across the
country now registered with the USDA is
7,864. In 1994, there were 1,744.
Organizations such as Slow Food, found-
ed in 1989 to counter fast-food, junk-food
lifestyles, first ignited consumer demand for
fresh, local produce.
My husband and I prefer to eat locally
and organically, said Tracy Stuntz, a col-
lege instructor who shops at Fresnos
Vineyard Farmers Market. You go to the
grocery store and everything is the same.
The farmers market has yellow zucchini
and green onions that are like a foot long.
Produce you dont see other places.
Today, some markets are so popular that
there are wait lists for farmers to sell there,
including one of the largest and most
diverse of all, the Ferry Plaza Farmers
Market in San Francisco. Farmers from
across the region travel there three days a
week to sell fruit, vegetables and artisan
bread and cheese to thousands of shoppers,
including top chefs from the food-centric
city.
Operated by the Center for Urban
Education about Sustainable Agriculture,
the iconic market on the San Francisco Bay
is celebrating its 20th birthday.
When we started there were only three
markets in the city, and now there are 29,
said Liz Hunt, a center spokeswoman.
Grant Brians of Heirloom Organic
Gardens sells more than 200 old-fashioned
varieties of vegetables, herbs and fruit
grown on two farms in San Benito County,
about 100 miles south of San Francisco.
Others bring in stone fruits from the San
Joaquin Valley, and berries from the coast.
Dave Stockdale, the centers executive
director, said farmers markets empower
consumers to become active supporters of
their communities.
Every day eaters have the opportunity to
vote with their forks and support small-
scale farmers, investing resources in their
communities, stimulating their local
economies and keeping ag land in sustain-
able production, he said.
The center uses the markets to educate
consumers about unique varieties of pro-
duce and how to prepare them. Stockdale
said the growing interest in farmers markets
has prompted others to ask the center for
help creating educational programs.
San Franciscan Bryan Miller frequents
the Heart of the City farmers market at the
San Francisco Civic Center, a venue so pop-
ular it recently added Fridays to its normal
Wednesday and Sunday operations.
Its fresh and cheap, to be quite honest,
Miller said. I can go to the store on the bus
and buy black ugly mass-market stuff, but I
dont want to do that. I would rather get
local produce.
The USDA has worked to make the mar-
kets accessible to people of all income lev-
els by outfitting more with the ability to
accept payments from the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly
known as food stamps. More than $4 mil-
lion is being made available to equip mar-
kets with wireless point-of-sale equipment.
California, the countrys top agricultural
producing state, has 827 markets, according
to the USDA.
Number of farmers markets surges
The U.S.Department of Agriculture announced Friday that the number of direct-sales markets
has increased 9.6 percent in the past year, with California and New York leading the way.

SACRAMENTO Los Angeles attorney
Molly Munger has donated another $5 million
to her November tax initiative.
Thats on top of about $8 million the
wealthy civil rights attorney already has con-
tributed to Proposition 38, which would raise
income taxes on nearly all Californians to
fund schools. The wealthy would see the
largest increase.
Mungers Proposition 38 rivals another tax-
hike initiative championed by Gov. Jerry
Brown. That initiative, Proposition 30, would
temporarily raise the state sales tax by a half
cent and increase income taxes for people who
make more than $250,000.
Browns campaign has raised nearly $7.5
million since last year, plus a $1 million dona-
tion announced Thursday by the California
Nurses Association.

P
alo Alto residents Jerry and
Dick Smallwood started
Pursuit of Excellence in
1985 when they awarded a $2,000
Pursuit of Excellence scholarship to
a graduate of Sequoia High School
who was heading to Cal Poly San
Luis Obispo. It was a small begin-
ning to what has become an effec-
tive and well-respected scholarship
program on the Peninsula.
Over the years, the couples
friends and adult children became
interested in the cause, contributing
money and time. High school teach-
ers and counselors work with P.O.E.
to recommend students who can
greatly benet from scholarships. In
all, P.O.E. has assisted 330 students
through grants totaling more than
$2 million.
This year, each of the 28 recent
high school graduates, the newest
recipients of P. O. E. grants,
received $500 to $5,000
amounts the Smallwoods see as the
tipping point that enables students
to attend college. A mentor program
developed by P.O.E. makes sure stu-
dents are supported throughout each
college year and that future college
expenses dont get in the way of stu-
dents attending and graduating from
college.
One of the unique parts of our
scholarship program is that we stay
with kids for as long as they are in
school, which is often more than
four years these days, said Carol
Mullin, who manages the growing
program with her parents. This
years group will receive awards
totaling approximately $85,000, but
this coming year our scholarships
will exceed $400,000 and will assist
140 students.
P.O.E. grants for 2012 grads went
to students from Gunn, Palo Alto
and Los Altos high schools,
Eastside College Prep, East Palo
Alto Academy, East Palo Alto

PASADENA Seven minutes
of terror.
It sounds like a Hollywood
thriller, but the phrase describes the
anxiety NASA is expecting as its
car-sized robotic rover tries a tricky
landing on Mars late Sunday.
Skimming the top of the Martian
atmosphere at 13,000 mph, the
Curiosity rover needs to brake to a
stop in seven minutes.
The rover is headed for a two-
year mission to study whether Mars
ever had the elements needed for
microbial life. Because of its heft,
the 2,000-pound robot cant land the
way previous spacecraft did. They
relied on air bags to cushion a boun-
cy touchdown. This time NASA is
testing a brand new landing that
involves gingerly setting down the
rover similar to the way heavy-lift
helicopters lower huge loads at the
end of a cable. How hard is it? The
degree of difculty is above a 10,
says Adam Steltzner, an engineer at
NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
which manages the mission.
And American University space
policy analyst Howard McCurdy
says: It would be a major techno-
logical step forward if it works. Its
a big gamble.
A communication time delay
between Mars and Earth means
Curiosity will have to nail the land-
ing by itself, following the half mil-
lion lines of computer code that
engineers uploaded to direct its
every move.
After an 8 1/2-month, 352-mil-
lion-mile journey, heres a step-by-
step look at how Curiosity will land:
Ten minutes before entering the
Martian atmosphere, Curiosity sep-
arates from the capsule that carried
it to Mars.
Turning its protective heat
shield forward, it streaks through
the atmosphere at 13,200 mph,
slowing itself with a series of S-
curves.
Seven miles from the ground at
900 mph, Curiosity unfurls its enor-
mous parachute.
Next it sheds its heat shield and
turns on radar to scope out the land-
ing site. Now its 5 miles from
touchdown and closing in at 280
mph.
A video camera aboard
Curiosity starts to record the
descent.
A mile from landing, the para-
chute is jettisoned.
Curiosity is still attached to a
rocket-powered backpack, and
those rockets are used to slow it to
less than 2 mph.
Twelve seconds before landing,
nylon cables release and lower
Curiosity. Once it senses six wheels
on the ground, it cuts the cords. The
hovering rocket-powered backpack
ies out of the way, crashing some
distance away.

SACRAMENTO A detailed review
of more than 500 state special funds
released Friday found hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars in accounting discrepan-
cies but no instances beyond the state
parks department in which government
officials purposely underreported the
amount of money.
The review by the governors nance
department found discrepancies, some-
times in the hundreds of millions of dol-
lars, in the amount reported to it and the
state controllers ofce by different gov-
ernment departments but attributed
those to differences in accounting meth-
ods, timing and human error.
Gov. Jerry Brown called for the
review after it was revealed that state
parks ofcials had deceived lawmakers
and gubernatorial administration for
more than a decade by underreporting
nearly $54 million in two special funds.
The bottom line of this review is that
there are no such other circumstances in
state government based on what we
found, Finance Director Ana
Matosantos said during a news confer-
ence.
The review is
important because
the finance depart-
ments numbers are
used to develop the
states general fund
budget each year and
because lawmakers
take millions of dol-
lars in loans from the
special funds to close
budget decits.
Californias overall budget includes
more than $39 billion from 560 special
funds, which are generated from taxes
and fees for things such as recycling and
vehicle registration. Beginning next
year, the two agencies will reconcile
their gures before the budget process
starts, Matasantos said.
The finance departments review
found a difference of $3.7 billion in
the amount of special fund money
reported to the controllers office and
the finance department as of June 30,
2011, the end of the 2010-11 fiscal
year. After adjusting for bookkeeping
differences and a legislative budget
gimmick that deferred state payroll by
one day, the net difference was $415
million, or less than 5 percent of all
money in state special funds.
Even so, the nance and controllers
balances for some special funds
diverged by hundreds of millions of dol-
lars. That includes a discrepancy of
nearly $423 million in the Public
Utilities Commission funds. Finance
ofcials said they would launch an audit
of the PUCs accounting practices next
week.
Matosantos said nearly $84 million of
the gap was due to human error that has
not yet been xed. That includes nearly
$29 million in the states restitution
fund, which provides funding for crime
victims, although its still unclear
whether there is actually additional
money available in that account.
The largest differences were in trans-
portation funds, the Fiscal Recovery
Fund and Proposition 63, a tax on mil-
lionaires to fund mental health services.
Despite the billions of dollars separat-
ing the nance department from the
controllers ofce, Matosantos said the
budget gures the Legislature relied on
this year were essentially accurate.
Besides the state parks money, there
likely would not have been additional
choices available for spending or cut-
ting, she said.

WASHINGTON Sputtering along, the
economy on Friday offered some hope but no
illuminating help to voters who are mired in a
weak jobs recovery and ooded with familiar
promises from President Barack Obama and
Republican Mitt Romney. The new employ-
ment snapshot seemed too mixed and mid-
dling to jolt a consistently close race.
Three months shy of Election Day, the lat-
est numbers showed monthly job creation was
higher than expected but unemployment
rose, too. That gave each candidate political
room to see only what he wanted, and to stick
with the fundamental economic argument that
he thinks will win the White House.
Its another hammer blow to the struggling
middle-class families of America, Romney
said of the pace of job growth, assailing
Obamas record from a Las Vegas trucking
business. At the White House, Obama sur-
rounding himself with some of those families,
playing up 29 straight months that private
employers have added jobs.
Those are our neighbors and families nd-
ing work, Obama said. But, lets acknowl-
edge, weve still got too many folks out there
who are looking for work.
Fittingly, the two men spoke over each
other on television, holding events at the same
time.
The economy is stuck, long removed from
the days of implosion but not growing enough
to reduce unemployment
or make people feel better.
No signs of help are com-
ing from a gridlocked
president and Congress, or
from the Federal Reserve,
or from U.S. allies with
their own problems as the
world economy suffers.
That means the econo-
my voters have now may
be the one they get when its time to pick a
president.
The bright spot: Employers added 163,000
jobs in July, more than double that of June.
Yet the politically important unemployment
rate rose to 8.3 percent, a notch above Junes
8.2 percent.
Only three such tone-setting jobs reports
remain before the election one in
September the day after Obama speaks at the
Democratic National Convention, one in
October shortly after the two men debate on
the economy, and one in November a mere
four days before the election.
Whatever the monthly ups and downs, the
big picture shows that the largest economy in
the world has yet to take off: The 151,000 jobs
added on average each month this year is
almost the same monthly average as last year.
No economic recovery since World War II
has been weaker than the current rebound
from the recession that ended in June 2009.
A status-quo economy means the cam-
paign arguments and strategies are not
changing, either.
Obama and Romney will
keep punching it out in
largely negative advertis-
ing and personal appear-
ances in about eight states
expected to determine the
outcome. Much of the rest
of America will be left to
give money, volunteer or
watch from the sidelines.
Obamas locked-in message is about asking
the nations richest people to pay higher taxes,
extending tax cuts for the middle class, and
promising long-run economic growth by put-
ting public money into education, energy and
research. He has seized on a report that con-
cluded Romneys plan would raise middle-
class taxes.
Meanwhile, Romneys aides have long
believed only a dramatic uptick in the econo-
my could hurt his chances and force a broad
change in messaging.
So one month of stronger-than-expected job
growth did nothing to alter Romneys case
that America can do better. Capitalizing on
an Obama vulnerability public disapproval
of the presidents handling of the economy
Romney portrays himself as the change agent
with the business background for the demands
of the day.
He is promising to create 12 million jobs
over four years, a pace that would demand
nearly 90,000 more jobs every month than
were created in July. Yet he has offered few
specics to back up that ambitious projection,
outlining a broad economic agenda of trade,
energy, and lower taxes, spending and regula-
tion.
Obama used the new numbers to fuel his
own narrative of an American economy head-
ed in the right direction.
We knew when I started in this job that this
was going to take some time, Obama said.
We havent had to come back from an eco-
nomic crisis this deep or this painful since the
1930s. But we also knew that if we were per-
sistent, if we kept at it and kept working, that
wed gradually get to where we need to be.
The economy lost 8.7 million jobs in the
recession and its aftermath. Since then, it has
regained 3.9 million.
The size of the hole, the slow climb out of
it, and the broken politics of Washington have
left a lot of the country weary. Even in an
election driven by the economy, one
Associated Press-GfK poll found that 60 per-
cent of people said whoever wins the election
will have slim-to-no impact on employment.
Romney and Obama are going after rough-
ly 10 percent of the electorate that remains
undecided in the presidential race.
Neither side contends the public is truly
engaged in the race yet; August vacations and
the Olympics have steered plenty of attention
elsewhere. Yet the last month of summer will
be busy, with Romneys choice of a vice pres-
idential candidate coming soon, and the polit-
ical conventions falling on either side of
Labor Day.
Obama, Romney see what they want in jobs report
Military brought
prostitutes to Colombian hotel
WASHINGTON A dozen U.S. service
members brought women, likely prostitutes,
to their hotel rooms in Colombia and also
allowed dogs to soil bed linens and building
grounds shortly before President Barack
Obama arrived in the country for an April
summit, according to a military investigation
that followed the announcement of punish-
ments for the men.
The report provided to the Associated Press
on Friday revealed new details about the con-
duct of the service members in the prostitution
scandal that engulfed both military and Secret
Service personnel.

MUMBAI, India A decade ago,
Chandrakants shing village in Indias nan-
cial capital Mumbai lived mostly by candle-
light. What people did not have electricity
they stole.
It was easy enough to hook onto the two
thin power lines that passed over the village
and take a little for themselves.
Today, his settlement has moved up the
feeding chain of Mumbai neighborhoods and
most residents have city electricity meters.
But the loose habits of the past persist.
Residents still steal power on special occa-
sions, weddings or funerals that need to be lit
brighter than their home meters can bear.
An electrician like Chandrakant who
asked that his full name and that of his neigh-
borhood not be revealed because of his illegal
activity just hooks onto one of four main
distribution lines in the village, with the quiet
approval of local ofcials.
Indias power sector is lousy with thieves.
Men like Chandrakant are the least of them.
As much as 40 percent of the power gener-
ated in India is not paid for. The bulk of it is
stolen.
If that seems unsustainable, it is.
India suffered the worst blackouts in history
this week, which left over 600 million people
without power. The lights are back on, for
now, but the crisis is evidence of deep prob-
lems in a sector teetering on the edge of bank-
ruptcy for the second time in a decade.
Investigators have yet to pinpoint the cause
of this weeks shutdowns. Early, contested
reports suggest states were drawing more than
their share of power. Scanty rainfall has driv-
en up demand, as farmers switch on electric
pumps for irrigation, and crimped hydroelec-
tric supply, which generates about 20 percent
of Indias electricity.
The deeper problem, however, stems from
decades of populist pricing and inefciency
that have pushed losses at state utilities to an
estimated $10 billion in the year that ended in
March, according to the Planning
Commission, a top government advisory
body.

Another solution to prevent

Editor,
Mr. Aadahls letter (Misunderstood care

in response to my letter (Who really cares
for the unborn? from the June 26 edition of
the Daily Journal) focuses on the smaller per-
centage of abortions performed by Planned
Parenthood. Planned Parenthood performs
more abortions for unwanted pregnancies
than it does for unwanted pregnancies due to
the condition of the fetus, the mothers health
and age and the other often horrible circum-
stances surrounding unwanted pregnancies.
Mr. Aadahl states that the most effective
way to prevent abortion is to prevent unwant-
ed pregnancies through sex education and
availability of contraceptives. That is the sec-
ond best way. The best way is abstinence
before marriage and staying faithful in a mar-
riage relationship.
Pro-Choice is a misnomer for those who
are in favor of abortion. The unborn that are
aborted have no choice. Out of the estimated
54,559,615 abortions performed since the
Supreme Court handed down its decision in
1973, in the Roe v. Wade case, surely some
of those aborted children would have been
glad to live.
It appears that Mr. Aadahls concern for the
unborn only extends to the number of inno-
cent babies born with birth defects due to
industry caused pollution from lax environ-
mental laws. What about the innocent that
are denied life because abortion is being used
as a secondary form of birth control?

Abortion not required
Editor,
In his letter, In response to David Jonson
in the July 16 edition of the Daily Journal,
Rossi Foti wrote, This was a vicious frontal
attack by the Obamas Health and Human
Services (HHS) Mandate, which tells the
Catholic Church and all Christian religions
that they must violate Gods laws, statutes
and Commandments, or else! I feel the need
to respond, on the off chance that anyone
believes rhetoric like this.
Ross, the fact that insurance covers a legal
medical procedure in no way requires anyone
to have that procedure. Really. Even though
insurance would pay for it, you will not have
to have an abortion. Nor will anyone else
who believes that their deity disapproves.
Just like the fact that you cannot be stoned
for adultery doesnt mean that you are
required to have an affair.

Security leaks
Editor,
Senator Dianne Feinstein, who has been on
the Senate Intelligence Committee for 11
years, said that she has never seen anything
worse than the current Obama administration
security leaks. Obamas own National
Intelligence Director, James Clapper, said
this was the worst case he has seen in 30
years.
But not to worry. Obamas administration
has appointed two U.S. attorneys to investi-
gate the issue one of whom, Ronald
Machen, has given thousands of dollars to
candidate Obama.
And both of these attorneys will report to
guess who? Answer: None other than
Attorney General Eric Holder, who is now
under a contempt citation from Congress for
refusing to release documents regarding a
government policy of giving guns to Mexican
drug gangs.
Isnt this a bit like asking the Hells Angels
to investigate methamphetamine trafcking?
Scott Abramson
San Mateo
Success
Editor,
I am an independent politically and have
problems with both parties. I cannot let Scott
Abramsons out of context distortion of the
presidents position stand, however Perhaps
Mr. Abramson didnt read the full quotation
and only got his analysis from Fox News, so
it can be excused. Let me make it clearer. It
was obvious President Obama referred to the
fact that in any society no one is totally
responsible for his success. I only ask Mr.
Abramson these questions that will make
clear to all what the intent of the remark was.
Did the small business owner starting a
trucking company pay and build for the
roads, trafc lights, road signage, etc. etc.?
No, that was the government. Did the nation-
al defense allow him to prosper instead of
ghting off foreign nationals wanting his
property? Government again. What about
public school, which most of us attended and
allowed us the educational tools to prosper as
a businessman? Sorry, the government once
again. There is no one reading this that didnt
have some help in their success with roads,
schools and infrastructure and anyone saying
it was all me, me, me and no one else had a
thing to do with it is unintelligent, or a liar.
Now may I go about my business of expos-
ing half and at untruths about both parties
please.

Governments false philanthropy
Editor,
Apologists for the government food
stamp program (CalFresh in San Mateo
County in the July 26 edition of the Daily
Journal) cite alarming increases in enroll-
ment in the program: Over the last five
years, CalFresh enrollment in San Mateo
County has increased from 14,500 to
41,000 individuals per year.
They provide facts like CalFresh can only
be used to purchase food. Alcohol, tobacco,
even vitamins are off the list, as are most
prepared foods and then expect you to
believe that food stamp recipients have given
up these luxuries.
My experience tells me otherwise. Food
stamps are fungible assets.
They mention that Second Harvest Food
Bank provides food to one in 10 county resi-
dents but fail to mention their solicitation of
$90,000 in grant money from the Sequoia
Healthcare District. Then they add
Samaritan House staff helped 11,000 indi-
viduals who were working at least one job
and often two or three, but werent earning
enough to keep food on the table and a roof
over their heads. This of course was aided
by an annual grant of $570,000 from the
Sequoia Healthcare District. They are remiss
in failing to mention that the Sequoia
Healthcare District supports St. Anthonys of
Padua Dining Room ($90,000) providing
20,000 hot lunches for the homeless and low-
income families. Thats $4.50 for lunch only.
Were looking at about $15 a day for three
meals.
Doesnt the military feed our troops for
less than that? This could be a win-win
opportunity. Lets put some of those culinary
skills to use by employing veterans.

Misinterpretation
Editor,
I have yet to read the correct interpretation
of the Second Amendment. It states: A well
regulated militia, being necessary to the
security of a free state, the right of the people
to keep and bear arms, shall not be
infringed. This is 18th century language.
And while it was clear for that time in our
history, it has been misinterpreted in todays
politics.
My translation is that militia means mili-
tary, free state means the United States and
arms means muskets. The problem word is
people. The militia was the individual
landowners who would band together to form
a small army. The people were these
landowners. Therefore, the people were the
militia (or the army of that time) and thus
the phrases of the Second Amendment are
connected.
Today, we have a militia. It is the National
Guard and U.S. Army. The Second
Amendment gives them the right to bear
arms. It does not give that right to todays
private citizens. Therefore, the Second
Amendment has no bearing on todays gun
rights or gun ownership for private citizens
and should not be used as a document either
for or against these rights.

Is a sequel of
Enron scandal
hitting state?
The Sacramento Bee
C
ustomers of PG&E and other utilities
may have thought that manipulation
of the electricity markets was a sorry
part of California history, one that ended when
Enron, the thieving Texas energy giant, went
bankrupt amid scandal and federal indictments.
But it has come back, if accusations leveled
by the California Independent System
Operator are true.
The ISO, which entered the lexicon a decade
ago when California deregulated the electricity
market and blackouts ensued, is a nonprot
corporation that oversees the states electrical
transmission system.
It has alleged that an energy trading sub-
sidiary of banking giant JPMorgan Chase &
Co. improperly obtained $57 million in
ratepayers money during a six-month period
ending in about June 2011.
Thats the same JPMorgan whose chairman,
Jamie Dimon, has been appearing on Capitol
Hill to explain to members of Congress how
another arm of his massive bank lost $5.8 bil-
lion and counting in bad derivatives trades.
While the magnitude of the apparent manip-
ulation hasnt reached levels of the energy cri-
sis in 2001, the fundamental issues are similar,
as explained by Los Angeles Times business
columnist Michael Hiltzik earlier this month
and by The Bees Dale Kasler today.
JPMorgan Ventures Energy Corp. based in
(where else?) Houston faces allegations it
exploited crannies in the energy market for the
traders benet, at a cost to ratepayers.
An ISO spokeswoman said the system
worked because the alleged gaming was
detected early. But experts also have said the
$57 million loss could be a fraction of the
money made by JPMorgan.
JPMorgan has said there was no misconduct.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is
investigating.
JPMorgan doesnt own power plants, but
instead holds power contracts with generators
allowing it to deal on energy trading markets
in various parts of the country, including
California.
The ISO buys power from various energy
producers. To encourage producers to keep
their plants operating at a low boil in case their
power is needed, the ISO guarantees that it
will make minimum payments to generators,
whether their power is needed or not.
JPMorgan is accused of offering to sell
power at below cost in one part of the market,
and at unusually high prices in another part.
The goal was not necessarily to provide ener-
gy, but rather to receive what the ISO calls an
inequitable windfall from the make-whole
payments.
However the investigation turns out, the
alleged manipulation should provide a warning
to the California Air Resources Board, which
is preparing to embark on an auction of pollu-
tion credits in a complex cap-and-trade auction
system.
As sophisticated traders stand ready to buy
and sell the credits, the air board says it will
protect the state against manipulation.
We hope those brave words prove to be true.
We also know that sophisticated traders have a
history of making unreasonable prots at the
expense of the rest of us.
The investigation into JPMorgans energy
trading comes as Sanford I. Weill, former
chairman of Citigroup, has reversed himself by
urging that big banks be broken up.
Weill is the Wall Street banker who led the
lobbying effort in the 1990s that opened the
way for plain vanilla retail banks to combine
with investment banks and other nancial serv-
ices providers, becoming the too-big-to-fail
behemoths.
In the wake of the 2008 crash, Weill argues,
banks and investment banks should be separat-
ed. JPMorgans exploits provide evidence of
the need for what Weill proposes.

NEW YORK A surge in hiring last
month got a big welcome on Wall Street
Friday.
The Dow Jones industrial average
surged 217.29 points to close at 13,096.17,
ending a four-day losing streak. It was the
best day for the Dow since June 29.
Markets had been slumping all week
after central banks in the U.S and Europe
took no new action to shore up the econo-
my, as investors had hoped.
The Labor Departments closely
watched monthly jobs report gave
investors assurance that the U.S. economy
may be doing better on its own. U.S.
employers added 163,000 jobs last month,
far more than the 100,000 economists
were expecting. From April through June,
the economy added an average of just
73,000 jobs a month, compared with an
average of 226,000 in the rst three
months of the year.
Its one step forward, said Joe Bell,
senior equity analyst at Schaeffers
Investment Research. But we would like
to see continued improvement in the labor
market in coming months.
There was more to cheer about from the
service sector, which employs 90 percent
of all Americans.
The Institute for Supply Management
reported that U.S. service companies grew
at a slightly faster pace in July. The ISMs
services index rose to 52.6 from 52.1 in
June, which was the lowest reading since
January 2010. Any reading above 50
means that business is growing for service
providers.
The good economic news caused
investors to sell low-risk assets like U.S.
government debt. The selling drove prices
down and yields up. The benchmark 10-
year Treasury note was yielding 1.57 per-
cent, up from 1.48 percent Thursday.
Oil prices also rose as investors became
more optimistic about the economy.
Benchmark crude shot up $4.27 to $91.40
on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The broader Standard & Poors 500
index rose 25.99 points to 1,390.99, and
the Nasdaq composite index added 58.13
points to 2,967.90.
Despite the gain in hiring, there were
still enough signs of weakness in the latest
jobs report to keep hope alive that the
Federal Reserve may still take more steps
to kick-start the economy at its next meet-
ing in September.
A separate survey of households by the
Labor Department found that the unem-
ployment rate rose to 8.3 percent in July
from 8.2 percent in June.
Im not ready to declare victory just
yet, said Uri Landesman, president of
hedge fund Platinum Partners. Lending
activity is still pretty low because banks
arent taking that much risk, and its hard
for an economy to expand when banks are
on tenterhooks themselves.

SAN JOSE A federal judge on
Friday denied Apple Inc.s demands for
an immediate victory in a multibillion-
dollar patent trial. Apple sought the
long-shot bid as punishment for
Samsung Electronics Inc.s decision to
issue a controversial press release on the
rst day of testimony.
U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh denied
Apples request after polling the nine
jurors to determine if they read media
accounts based on the news release. All
said theyve abided by the judges admo-
nition to refrain from reading about the
case.
Samsung attorney John Quinn author-
ized the release Tuesday, which com-
plained about Kohs exclusion of evi-
dence favorable to Samsung. The release
also included the evidence.
Apple sued Samsung last year alleging
that some of the South Korean compa-
nys smartphones and computer tablets
are illegal knockoffs of Apples iPhone
and iPad. Samsung denies the allega-
tions and argues that all companies in
the cutthroat phone industry mimic each
others successes without crossing the
legal line.
Quinn had been arguing for weeks to
allow the jury to see the disputed evi-
dence that purports to show Apples
iPhone being inuenced by Sony Corp.
designs.
Quinn and the judge had a testy
exchange over the evidence on Tuesday
before opening statements started. Koh
has rejected Quinns argument on sever-
al occasions and grew exasperated with
him when he refused to stop arguing the
point.
Mr. Quinn, dont make me sanction
you, please, Koh said. Sit down.
Quinn did take his seat. But hours
later, a public relations rm sent out the
press release that prompted Apples
demands for sanctions.
The excluded evidence would have
established beyond doubt that Samsung
did not copy the iPhone design, the
release to media stated. Fundamental
fairness requires that the jury decide the
case based on all the evidence.
The release also contained website
addresses to access the disputed evi-
dence. Those addresses have since been
disabled.
Apple claimed the release was
designed to taint the jury. Quinn coun-
tered that Samsung has a right to release
documents that are publicly available.
Koh said she reserves the right to
investigate the matter further if new evi-
dence comes to light.

NEW YORK Electronic Arts Inc.
has sued online game maker Zynga say-
ing that its new game The Ville
infringes its own game, The Sims
Social.
EA said Friday that The Ville is
unmistakable in its similarity to The
Sims Social, which launched more than
a year earlier. EA says the games are
largely indistinguishable to a casual
observer.
The similarities go well beyond any
supercial resemblance. Zyngas design
choices, animations, visual arrange-
ments and character motions and actions
have been directly lifted from The Sims
Social, said Lucy Bradshaw, general
manager of EAs Maxis Label, which
developed the game, in a blog post
Friday.
The games are both played on
Facebook. Players create characters who
live, work and interact with each other in
virtual neighborhoods.
In response, Zynga says that EA does-
nt understand copyright principles, and
that it plans to defend its rights.
Its also ironic that EA brings this
suit shortly after launching SimCity
Social which bears an uncanny resem-
blance to Zyngas CityVille game, said
Reggie Davis, Zyngas general counsel,
in a statement.
The lawsuit was led Friday in U.S.
District Court for the Northern District
of California.
Shares of EA, which is based in
Redwood City, Calif., rose 56 cents, or 5
percent, to $11.93 amid a broader mar-
ket rally. The stock has traded in the 52-
week range of $10.77 and $26.13.
San Francisco-based Zyngas stock
rose 9 cents, or 3.3 percent, to 2.79 in
afternoon trading. The stock is down 72
percent from its $10 initial public stock
offering price. The company went public
in December.

LONDON A few hours after the U.S. mens
boxing team thought it was done at the Olympics,
amateur boxings governing body decided Errol
Spence deserved to ght on.
AIBA overturned Spences loss to Indian wel-
terweight Krishan Vikas late Friday night, ve
hours after the defense-minded Vikas had appar-
ently clutched and grabbed his way to a 13-11 vic-
tory.
After the American team protested the result,
AIBAs competition jury reviewed the bout and
ruled Vikas had committed nine holding fouls in
the third round alone. He also intentionally spit out
his mouthpiece in the second round, which should
have resulted in at least four points of deductions.
Spence advanced into the quarternals to face
Russias Andrey Zamkovoy on Tuesday. If he
wins, the American mens team will avoid leaving
the Olympics with no medals for the rst time ever.
I am obviously thrilled that the competition
jury overturned my decision and I can continue
chasing the gold medal I came here to win,
Spence said late Friday night. I am going to make
the most of this second chance that Ive been given.
I cant wait to get back in that ring on Tuesday.
Spence felt he had won the bout afterward,
expecting his hand to be raised in the ring, but was-
nt terribly surprised when Vikas got the nod. The
welterweight from Dallas already was the last U.S.
man standing after his eight male teammates lost
in the previous ve days, including three-time

LAS VEGAS Floyd Mayweather Jr. was
released from a Las Vegas jail early Friday after
serving two months of a three-month sentence in
a misdemeanor domestic battery case.
The undefeated boxer walked out of the Clark
County Detention Center beneath the glow of
street lamps and glare of TV cameras to resume a
boxing career that his lawyers and personal
physician warned in court documents might be at
risk. They said jail food and
water didnt meet
Mayweathers dietary needs,
and lack of exercise space in
a cramped cell of fewer than
98 square feet threatened his
health and tness.
Mayweather looked t as
he donned a leather Miami
Heat cap, pulled a gray
hooded sweatshirt over his
head and shared hugs with
about 20 family members and friends, including
his 12-year-old daughter, Iyanna Mayweather,
and his manager, Leonard Ellerbe.
He said nothing to the media as he got behind
the wheel of a blue Bentley sedan with several
friends inside, including rapper 50 Cent, and
drove away.
A lot has happened in Mayweathers world
since he was jailed June 1.
With no television in his solo cell, he couldnt
watch archrival Manny Pacquiao lose his WBO
welterweight title June 9 to Timothy Bradley.
Mayweather, who goes by the nickname
Money, wasnt around to celebrate last month
when Forbes magazine named him the worlds
highest-paid athlete for 2011.
He wasnt able to attend the ESPN network
ESPY awards to accept the best ghter award.
And he missed ancee Shantel Jacksons pri-
vate birthday bash last week at a Las Vegas steak-
house with friends, including 50 Cent. Las Vegas
Review-Journal celebrity columnist Norm Clark
noted that Mayweather sent diamonds.
But Mayweather is now a free man, even if his
next opponent is not immediately clear.
Ellerbe declined to comment outside the jail
late Thursday, where he waited with friends,
including Mayweather adviser Sam Watson and
several others.
Promoters for Pacquiao plan a ght Nov. 10 at
the MGM Grand Garden arena in Las Vegas,
Nevada Athletic Commission executive Keith
Kizer said. Pacquiaos opponent hasnt been
named but Mayweather wasnt believed to be on
the list.
Pacquiao, who earned $62 million in ghts and
endorsements last year, ranked second on the
Forbes richest athletes list behind Mayweather
and his $85 million in ght earnings.
To ght in Las Vegas, Mayweather will need a
new license from the Nevada Athletic
Commission, Kizer said Thursday. His last
license, for the May 5 bout against Miguel Cotto,
was for one ght only.
If Mayweather applies, commission Chairman
Raymond Skip Avansino Jr. could decide to
grant approval administratively or summon
Mayweather before the panel for a public hear-
ing, Kizer said.
Mayweather received about 30 days off his 90-
day jail sentence for work time and good behav-
ior. Nevada state law allows inmates to receive up
to 10 days off per month for cooperating with jail-
ers and working or being willing to work. Las
Vegas police administer the jail, and a department
spokesman said Mayweather wasnt required to
work and didnt misbehave behind bars.

Time to bust out some bracketology, UFC
style.
Brandon Vera and Mauricio Rua stand one side
of the bracket. Ryan Bader and Lyoto Machida
face off on the other line.
But the winners wont ght each other.
In a UFC twist worthy of a reality show, the
winning ghter with the most impressive per-
formance yes, hell have to wow the judges
advances to the championship round and
becomes the No. 1 contender for the light heavy-
weight belt.
This fearsome foursome of a Final Four have
more than just another victory at stake Saturday
at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The best of
the best earns a shot at the winner of the Jon
Jones vs. Dan Henderson 205-pound title bout on
Sept. 1.
Basically, Im in a huge seminal, Vera said.
Vera and Rua were originally the only pair set
to ght for the top spot on the promotions fourth
primetime Fox special. UFC president Dana
Whites decision to grant the winner a title shot
was met with immediate howls of protest from
fans. Even Jones posted on Twitter, scratching
my head.
The reason? Both ghters are slumping and
both had been knocked out by Jones over the last
two years. Vera is 1-2 with one no contest over
his last four ghts and Rua has lost three of his
last ve ghts.
White slept on the decision, processed the
feedback, and reversed course the next day.
When the fans speak, we listen, White said.
So whoever scores the best win, whoever gets
the fans excited by going out there on Saturday
and looking the most impressive, he will get the
winner of Jones vs. Henderson. It is down to
what these four guys do Saturday night in the
octagon. Winning isnt enough, theyve got to
win impressively. Any one of these four ghters
can take things into their own hands and make a
title shot happen.
Vera, once one of the promotions rising super-
stars, understood Whites decision to listen to the
fans and force him to basically have to beat three
ghters instead of just Rua.
He says hell ght his way into a future main
event in either scenario.
All I have to do is beat Shogun the way Ive
been dreaming and wanting to, Ill be facing
Jones next, he said. All I have to do is beat
Shogun and Ill be right where I want to be any-
way.
Vera has regained the mettle he lost after com-
placency and a hot air balloon-sized ego nearly
derailed his career.
He won his rst eight MMA ghts and openly
boasted that he would simultaneously hold the
UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight titles.
He seemed poised to join the list of UFCs all-
time greats.
But then the losses piled up, including two,
two-bout losing streaks. UFC legend Randy
Couture beat him via unanimous decision in
2009 and Jones bested him by TKO in March
2010. Vera concedes now he never respected
Jones and didnt take the bout seriously.
Brandon is a guy who burst onto the scene,
was going to be 205-pound champion, a heavy-
weight champion, was running through guys left
and right and then, you know, I dont know what
happened, White said.

UCI tries to block USADA
charges against Armstrong
NEW YORK Cyclings international gov-
erning body is trying to block the case American
anti-doping ofcials led against Lance
Armstrong, saying there may be a lack of due
process and that witnesses were promised
advantages in exchange for incriminating state-
ments against the seven-time Tour de France win-
ner.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency brought
charges of performance-enhancing drug use
against Armstrong in June, threatening to strip
him of his victories. A federal grand jury investi-
gation of the cyclist ended four months earlier
without any indictments.
Armstrong repeatedly has proclaimed his inno-
cence and sued in federal court in Austin, Texas,
claiming USADA rules violate athletes constitu-
tional right to a fair trial.
USADA claims it has jurisdiction, citing UCI
rules, the U.S. Olympic Committee and the
World Anti-Doping Agency. USADA said hav-
ing the UCI in charge of the case would be the
fox guarding the hen house and that UCI has
conicting interests because it doesnt want to
jeopardize corporate support and it has led a
defamation suit against former Armstrong team-
mate Floyd Landis, who has publicly accused
Armstrong of drug use.
UCI President Patrick McQuaid wrote July 13
to USADA, claiming the Switzerland-based
cycling group has jurisdiction and USADA does
not.

working out well for the 49ers, who had been
trying for years to upgrade their secondary to
put the nishing touches on one of the NFLs
best defenses.
Goldson had a career year at free safety and
was named to his rst Pro Bowl. Whitner led
the secondary in tackles and gave the Niners
the physical presence they were looking for at
strong safety.
Their play was a big reason San Francisco
climbed to fourth in the NFL rankings for
total defense and was playing as well as any
unit in the league by the end of last season.
You cant play good defense without good
safeties, 49ers defensive coordinator Vic
Fangio said. Thats just been a fact over the
years. And those two guys back there, theyre
a good tandem, they quarterback the second-
ary, they quarterback our coverage element.
And theyre both good at supporting the run
and tackling because they are the last line of
defense and one of the reasons we were able
to not give up too many big plays last year,
both in the run and pass.
Goldson and Whitner also contributed their
share of big plays to a defense that had many
last season. Goldson tied for second in the
NFC with six interceptions and also recovered
a fumble as the 49ers had 38 takeaways and a
league-best and team-record plus-28 turnover
differential.
Whitner, who led all NFL defensive backs
with a career-high 140 tackles for the Buffalo
Bills in 2010, was an ornery presence along
the line of scrimmage and was second on the
team with three forced fumbles to go with his
two interceptions.
Both safeties made an immediate impact in
the playoffs during San Franciscos 36-32 vic-
tory over New Orleans in the divisional round.
Whitner had a crushing hit on running back
Pierre Thomas at the San Francisco 2-yard
line to knock the ball loose and knock Thomas
out of the game, halting the Saints long
game-opening drive just short of the goal line.
Goldson later intercepted Drew Brees and
returned the pick 41 yards to set up a touch-
down that helped spark the 49ers to an early
17-0 lead. The pair also combined for 23 tack-
les in the game.
Six months later, Whitner says people still
ask him almost every day about his big hit
on Thomas. He also said that game was a
good example of the different things he and
Goldson bring to the safety position.
Were not the same type of football player,
and that makes us a really good safety combi-
nation, Whitner said. Hes more a center
elder, deep-half type of guy who wants to
take chances getting the football and hell still
hit you. My job is to get the guys lined up,
play extremely physical, adding to the run,
covering tight ends. Its easy to work with
somebody like Dashon who wants to work
with you.
Whitner praised Goldson for nally signing
his one-year, $6.2 million franchise tender
offer last week just before the teams rst
summer practice. Goldson did not join the
49ers for any of their offseason workouts, but
he worked out elsewhere with three different
trainers to remain focused and in shape.
After signing a one-year deal with the team
two weeks into training camp last year, then
missing the rst two games of the season with
a knee injury, Goldson didnt want to fall
behind this summer.
I owed it to my teammates and I didnt
want to miss another part of this training
camp, Goldson said. I wanted to come back
out here and sharpen up, pick up where we
started off last year. We did some good things
last year and weve got a chance to do some-
thing special here. Its very important for us to
start fast and nish faster. Theres a lot of stuff
that needs to be sharpened up on the defensive
side of the ball.

DENVER Ryan Vogelsong pitched into the
seventh inning, Buster Posey homered among his
four hits and the San Francisco Giants broke out
of an offensive slump to beat the Colorado
Rockies 16-4 on Friday.
Brett Pill also went deep and Angel Pagan had
three hits and scored four runs for the Giants, who
had lost seven of their past eight.
Wilin Rosario homered for the Rockies, who
have lost 9 of 11.
The Giants were shut out twice and held to one
run in two other games during their recent slump
but broke out against Colorado. They had a season
high in runs and matched their season best with 16
hits.
San Francisco wasted no time in getting on the
board against Jonathan Sanchez (0-3). The rst
four batters reached as the Giants took a 2-0 lead
on their former teammate.
Sanchez, who tossed a no-hitter for the Giants
on July 10, 2009, lasted only three innings, walk-
ing three and throwing two wild pitches.
Sanchez has struggled in three starts since com-
ing to Colorado for Jeremy Guthrie on July 20.
Fridays start was his shortest outing of his three
games.
Pill made it 3-0 when he hit a leadoff homer in
the fourth off Adam Ottavino.
The Giants blew it open against Mike Ekstrom
in the seventh. Vogelsong led off with a double
and scored on Pagans double. Ryan Theriot
walked and Melky Cabrera doubled down the left-
eld line to make it 6-0.
Cabrera scored on Marco Scutaros groundout
to make it 7-0.
Vogelsong (9-5) cruised early. He retired the
rst nine batters of the game and allowed just one
hit through six innings.
The Rockies broke through in the seventh.
Dexter Fowler led off with a triple and scored on
a sacrice y. Jordan Pacheco and Todd Helton hit
consecutive doubles, and one out later Rosario hit
his 18th homer down the left-eld line to make it
7-4.
George Kontos relived Vogelsong and got the
last two outs to end the inning.
Vogelsong allowed four runs and ve hits,
struck out seven and walked two in 6 1-3 innings.
The Giants scored six times in the eighth
three on Poseys 15th homer and two on wild
pitches by Matt Reynolds. They added three more
in the ninth.
Giants bats break loose
Upton brothers both
hit 100th career HR
PHILADELPHIA Justin Upton didnt
even get bragging rights for one night.
Brothers Justin Upton and B.J. Upton both hit
career homer No. 100 on Friday night, just about
an hour apart and in different leagues.
Justin Upton connected for Arizona in the sec-
ond inning at Philadelphia off Kyle Kendrick.
Then it was his older brothers turn. B.J. Upton
went deep in the fourth inning for Tampa Bay
against Baltimores Tommy Hunter.
It was cool. Im happy for him, Justin Upton
said after Arizonas 4-2 win. Its a big night for
the family.
B.J. Upton joins Rickey Henderson, Barry
Bonds, Bobby Bonds, Cesar Cedeno, Lloyd
Moseby, Eric Davis and Hanley Ramirez as the
only players to amass 100 homers and 200 steals
before age 28. Upton turns 28 on Aug. 21.
I was just texting him, B.J. Upton said after
the Rays beat Baltimore 2-0. He said he got his
before mine, but its all good. It was cool to do
that on the same day.
The Upton brothers also both hit their 99th
homer in games on July 20.
It was mentioned after the last game, Justin
Upton said. I denitely wanted to beat him to
it.
As trade Suzuki, call up Taylor
OAKLAND The Oakland Athletics have
promoted right-hander Dan Straily and outeld-
er Michael Taylor from Triple-A Sacramento
before Friday nights game against the Toronto
Blue Jays.
Straily was set to start in his major league
debut.
In addition, the As acquired right-hander Pat
Neshek from Baltimore for cash. He was added
to the 25-man roster. The As sent catcher Kurt
Suzuki to the Washington Nationals for catcher
David Freitas earlier in the day.
To make room on the roster, outelder Seth
Smith was put on the disabled list with a strained
left hamstring and right-handers Jim Miller and
Evan Scribner were optioned to Sacramento.
Phillies trade Blanton to Dodgers
PHILADELPHIA Right-hander Joe
Blanton has been traded to the Dodgers after
Los Angeles claimed him on waivers.
Blanton will join outfielder Shane
Victorino, who was sent from the Phillies to
Los Angeles on Tuesday. Philadelphia also
dealt outelder Hunter Pence to San Francisco
earlier this week.
The 31-year-old Blanton is 8-9 with a 4.59
ERA in 20 starts and one relief appearance.
He is making $8.5 million and, like Victorino,
can become a free agent after the season.

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. Pete
Dye wont forget the gushing praise he
heard from just about everyone about
his new creation, The Ocean Course, as
the worlds best players got ready for
the 1991 Ryder Cup at Kiawah Island in
weather that was perfect for golf.
Then the wind blew in from the
Atlantic Ocean, and that changed every-
thing.
They had a heck of time, Dye said
with a chuckle. The trouble they had
on those par 3s was unbelievable.
It has taken more than two decades of
tweaks all overseen by Dye and
the PGA of Americas resolve to again
make the feared course a showcase for
the strongest eld in golf for the PGA
Championship, the nal major of the
year.
It will be hard, but it will be fair,
said Roger Warren, the president of
Kiawah Island Golf Resort.
Dye was commissioned more than
two decades ago to fashion a course on
piles and piles of sand alongside the
Atlantic. He laughs now about those
early, positive reviews, recalling how
four-time major champion Ray Floyd
told him during Ryder Cup practice the
course was the greatest thing ever,
after playing in a mild, southeasterly
wind.
Few were smiling once gusts reached
20 knots.
People ask if I designed the course
like that on purpose, Dye said.
Floyd called it a course you should
never play with a scorecard and it
took some time before anyone dared to
try.
The ne-tuning increased the past 12
months as Dyes crews reshaped
bunkers to remedy years of blowing
sand. Dye lengthened a bunker left of
the green on the par-3 fth hole so com-
petitors might think twice about going
after a back left pin. He hopes to entice
golfers to go for it on the 593-yard 11th,
removing high grass to form a collec-
tion area left of the green that would
have been trouble in the past.
Another tough
course for PGA
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AKRON, Ohio Jim Furyk and
Tiger Woods each carried momen-
tum into the second round of the
Bridgestone Invitational. That meant
the best 36-hole score for Furyk in
his PGA Tour career, and the worst
start for Woods in nearly fourth
months.
Furyk had another good day with
the putter, making a few birdies early
and saving par from the bunker four
times on the back nine at Firestone
for a 4-under 66 and a two-shot lead
over Rafa Cabrera Bello of Spain.
It helped that Furyk opened with a
63 in the afternoon, allowing him to
turn around Friday morning and try
to resume his good play. Thats what
he did, starting with a tricky birdie
putt on the second hole and follow-
ing his lone bogey with a 20-foot
birdie on the ninth.
Furyk hot, stays in Bridgestone lead

Carlos, Half Moon Bay and Redwood City.
Weve been doing it for three years now
and it kind of took off this year, Turner said.
Weve had about 200 kids this summer.
Turner said there are still two weeks of
camp left this summer the week of Aug. 6
and Aug. 13, both in San Carlos. He hopes to
expand in the future to include San Mateo,
Burlingame and Los Altos.
He said he decided to start his own youth
baseball summer camp after spending years
helping at other camps. He believed he could
run his own camp better while at the same
time giving back to his community.
We do a lot of batting, elding, pitching
and catching, Turner said. We love having
fun. I think thats something I forgot to do
after high school. Just playing ball is fun.
Thats what we tell all these young guys.
A long journey
Turner said coming out of Serra, he stopped
having fun playing the game and started mak-
ing it a business. His rst taste of disappoint-
ment was not receiving any scholarships out
of high school, despite being named MVP of
the West Catholic Athletic League.
He decided to enroll at Caada and became
Coast Conference MVP following his fresh-
man season, earning him a scholarship to
Pepperdine University. Turner thought his
career was about to take off.
It was always a priority to get a scholar-
ship, Turner said.
He injured his shoulder and redshirted his
one year at Pepperdine before returning to
Caada this past season, where he promptly
picked up where he left off: earning Coast
Conference Player of the Year honors as well
as being named to the junior college All-
American team.
That earned him a scholarship to USF, but
he harbored hopes of being drafted by a pro-
fessional team.
I was told by many scouts I would be draft-
ed, Turner said.
It didnt happen. Turner believes two major
shoulder injuries one in high school and
one in college cost him a shot at being
drafted.
Shift of focus
Having seen the business side of profes-
sional baseball, Turner has turned his atten-
tion to earning his degree in business at USF,
which he then hopes to apply to his burgeon-
ing baseball camps and private lessons.
I think I want to stick with it (the camps),
for wherever it takes me, Turner said. I want
to open up a facility, do the whole private les-
son thing. [I] really care about baseball.
To that end, Turner tries to bring in the most
knowledgeable coaches and instructors from
around the Bay Area and the nation to teach
the kids at his camps. Turner said hes had
coaches and instructors from Caada, Lewis
and Clark, Pepperdine, USF, Pacic, Coastal
Carolina and U.C. Davis working at the
camps.
Its no coincidence. Being a baseball lifer,
Turner has forged relationships with coaches
and instructors from coast to coast. It helps to
have the network of contacts Turner has accu-
mulated during his time at Serra and beyond.
He also credits his personality for helping
nurture those relationships.
If I had been a [jerk] all those years, I
probably wouldnt have all those contacts,
Turner said.
He also said his reputation as a ball player
growing up has helped him as well. Parents
and older siblings recognize his name and his
game and urge their youngest sons or brothers
to enroll in Turners camps.
[My name] is familiar to people, Turner
said. I dont know if I could have done it if I
didnt have the reputation.
Staying in the game
With his success on the eld as well as with
his camps, Turner is nding out he can make
a living in the game without being a profes-
sional player. In fact, given everything hes
seen about the business of baseball, being a
pro athlete is no longer at the top of his list.
My priority right now is to get my degree,
Turner said.
The book has not been shut on a potential
pro career, however. Turner could still end up
being drafted or sign a free-agent contract
after next season, but its not his sole focus:
Im not putting all my eggs in the pro bas-
ket, Turner said.
Instead, hed rather focus on developing the
next crop of potential pros and to do it in
the less stressful environment of summer
camps as opposed to the pressure cooking of
coaching.
I dont see myself not staying in baseball
the rest of my life, Turner said. Ive thought
about [coaching]. But at camp, everyones a
winner. Its all about having fun. I dont know
if I want to take that step to the competitive
level. Its high stress.
As long as the kids are having fun, youre
doing something right.
Space is available in both the Aug. 6 and
Aug. 13 camps in San Carlos. Participants

Theres still one group that loves
the training pool for athletes at the
former Olympic village in Athens
northern fringe.
Frogs.
They appear to delight in sitting
on debris that oats on the half-
lled pools murky waters.
The athletes village itself has
fared somewhat better, turned into
housing for workers.
Eight years after the 2004 Athens
Games, many of the Olympic ven-
ues Greece built at great expense
remain abandoned or rarely used.
They are the focus of great public
anger as the country struggles
through a fth year of recession and
nearly three years of a debt crisis
that has seen a surge in poverty and
unemployment.
At the southern Athens venue for
softball a sport unknown in
Greece and already out of the
Summer Olympics the occasion-
al weed is all that remains on the
dried-out eld.
With no shortage of real beaches
in Greece, the purpose-built beach
volleyball stadium has seen minimal
use in the past eight years, mostly
just concerts.
Other Athens venues have fared
better. The badminton hall has been
converted into a popular theater
venue, the former international
Olympic broadcast center is a shop-
ping mall and what was the main
press center now houses ministry
ofces.
The old baseball venue has been
used for the past two years by a
fourth-division local soccer club
although some of the stands could
do with a lick of paint.
The hockey venue hosted the
Special Olympics last year, but
material used in that event still lies
abandoned around the rim.
The taekwondo and handball
arena is occasionally used for non-
sports events.
The main Athens Olympics com-
plex is now mostly open to the pub-
lic and its sporting venues are used
by local teams or to host national
championships.
Greek politicians, meanwhile, are
still struggling to deal with those
years of excess spending, and many
economists still question the coun-
trys future in the 17-nation com-
mon euro currency.
Eight years later, Athens Olympic venues in decay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON Well, that sure was
fast.
Expectations that the London
Olympics track meet would be lled
with good times were quickly con-
rmed on Day 1, with seven sprinters
running womens 100-meter heats in
11 seconds or better Friday night, led
by the 10.83 turned in by world cham-
pion Carmelita Jeter of the U.S.
That came hours after Britains
Jessica Ennis got things started in front
of a rowdy crowd at the morning ses-
sion with the fastest 100-meter hurdles
ever run in the heptathlon.
Jeter was joined in Saturdays 100
seminals by Americans Allyson Felix
and Tianna Madison. Defending
Olympic gold medalist Shelly-Ann
Fraser-Pryce won her heat in 11 at;
her Jamaican teammates Veronica
Campbell-Brown and Kerron Stewart
also advanced.
Entering the seminals of the
womens 100 in Beijing four years
ago, there was a grand total of one
dash of 11 seconds or better
Stewarts 10.98.
This is way fast. I literally ran zero
to 60, shut it down and then ran
(10.99), said Murielle Ahoure of the
Ivory Coast, who set a national record
while nishing ahead of Stewart in
Fridays last 100 heat. I cant believe
it. Whoa. Fast track.
Imagine, then, what world-record
holder Usain Bolt and his training
partner, world champion Yohan
Blake, might do when they get their
rst chance to race in 80,000-seat
Olympic Stadium as the mens 100
heats begin Saturday.
The rst gold medal of track and
eld came Friday night in the mens
shot put, and Tomasz Majewski of
Poland talked a little trash about
American foes after successfully
defending his title but only barely
with a top throw of 71 feet, 10 inch-
es (21.89 meters).
World champion David Storl of
Germany earned the silver with 71-8
3/4 (21.86), and Reese Hoffa of
Augusta, Ga., gave the U.S. the bronze
with 69-8 (21.23). Hoffa had hoped to
win the rst U.S. gold in the mens
shot put since Randy Barnes in 1996 at
Atlanta; the two other Americans were
fourth and ninth in Fridays nal.
Americans got a bit of a problem
for the Olympics the last 20 years,
Majewski said. Theyve got great
guys, great athletes, but they cant win
gold in the Olympics. Sorry.
The opening nights other nal
came in the womens 10,000 meters
and there was yet another repeat
champion, Tirunesh Dibaba of
Ethiopia.
Dibaba, who also won the 5,000 at
Beijing in 2008, pulled away over the
nal lap Friday and won in 30 min-
utes, 20.75 seconds. Kenya collected
the silver and bronze in the 10,000,
with Sally Kipyego second in 30:26.37
and world champion Vivian Cheruiyot
third in 30:30.44.
In the sprints, the women will race
their 100 seminals and nal Saturday,
and the potential for a U.S. vs. Jamaica
showdown is certainly in the ofng.

U.S. Olympic women soccer
tops New Zealand 2-0
NEWCASTLE, England The
U.S. womens soccer team advanced
to the seminals of the Olympic
tournament with a 2-0 win over New
Zealand on Friday.
Abby Wambach scored in the 27th
minute at St. James Park. Shes
scored in all four games for the U.S.

Sydney Leroux added an insur-
ance goal in the 87th minute for the
Americans, who will face the win-
ner of the Britain-Canada match in
the semis on Monday in
Manchester. The top-ranked U.S.
team is seeking its third straight
Olympic gold.
New Zealand is ranked 23rd in the
world and was making its first
appearance in the knockout phase of
a major tournament.
Zhang, Zhao win all-Chinese
mixed doubles badminton nal
LONDON Despite being world
and Asian champions and newly mint-
ed Olympic gold medalists, Zhang
Nan and Zhao Yunlei say their bad-
minton partnership is just getting
going.
The pair, who are also a couple off
the court, easily handled second-
ranked Xu Chen and Ma Jin 21-11, 21-
17 in an all-Chinese match that quick-
ly gathered an air of inevitability.
The most excitement came immedi-
ately afterward, when Zhang threw his
shoes into the crowd and grabbed a
Chinese ag to wave around Wembley
Arena.
Meanwhile, the bronze-medal play-
off revived one Olympic badminton
tradition and ended another.
Joachim Fischer and Christinna
Pedersen of Denmark were too good
in a 21-12, 21-12 victory over Tontowi
Ahmad and Lilyana Natsir of
Indonesia. It was Denmarks rst
Olympic medal in badminton since
Athens. Denmark missed a badminton
medal at the games for the rst time in
Beijing.
Indonesia, on the other hand, the
best medal-winner after China with 18
including six golds, nished empty-
handed at an Olympics for the rst
time and was set to return home to crit-
ical reviews about its decline in a
national obsession.
Russian out of
Olympics for doping
LONDON Russian track cyclist
Victoria Baranova was expelled from
the London Games after failing a pre-
Olympics doping test, the governing
body of the sport said Friday.
Enrico Carpani, a spokesman for
the governing body, told The
Associated Press that Baranova tested
positive for testosterone July 24 in
Belarus. The test was made at the
request of the International Olympic
Committee as part of pre-games test-
ing.
Carpani said Baranova had already
left the games.
The 22-year-old Baranova was the
bronze medalist in the sprint at the
European championships, and the
two-time under-23 European champi-
on in both the sprint and the keirin.
Baranova, who is coached by her
father, Alexei, is listed by the sports
governing body as the No. 2-ranked
sprinter and keirin rider in the world.
Baranova, who was set to compete
in the keirin event in London, told the
Ria Novosti news agency that she
thought she would not be caught by
anti-doping authorities.

the 4x100 medley relay Saturday night.
The Americans are huge favorites in a race
they have never lost, and its unfathomable to
think the Phelps era could end with anything
less than a performance that puts him atop the
podium one last time.
In what might be viewed as a symbolic
changing of the guard from Americas retiring
swimming star to the next big thing, 17-year-
old Missy Franklin set a world record in the
200 backstroke, her third gold in London, just
minutes before Phelps took center stage at the
Olympic Aquatics Centre. Another American
teen, 19-year-old Elizabeth Beisel, claimed
the bronze in that race.
I cant believe what just happened, said
Franklin, who had dedicated her Olympics to
victims of the theater shooting not far from
her Colorado home. In that last 25, I knew I
was giving it everything I had because I
couldnt feel my arms and legs and I was just
trying to get my hand to the wall as fast I
could.
Right after Phelps was done, 15-year-old
Katie Ledecky the youngest member of the
U.S. team nearly broke the world record to
win gold in the 800 freestyle, denying
Britains Rebecca Adlington a repeat before
her home fans. Adlington settled for bronze in
a race Ledecky dominated from start to nish,
falling off record pace only in the last 15
meters.
But no one has dominated like Phelps, who
increased his career overall medal total to 21.
Hes the king of the Olympics Games,
said his butterfly rival, Serbias Milorad
Cavic.
Even though Phelps didnt go as fast in the
nal as he did in the seminals, he actually
won by a relatively comfortable margin com-
pared to his two previous Olympic wins in the
100 y: four-hundredths of a second over Ian
Crocker in 2004, then one-hundredth of a sec-
ond the closest race possible against
Cavic at the Beijing Games four years ago.
That was the victory that kept Phelps on
course to win a historic eight gold medals in
China.
This was about going out in style.
Phelps slammed the wall in 51.21 seconds
for payback against the guy who edged him in
the 200 y, Chad le Clos. No gliding into this
nish, the move that cost Phelps a gold in
their rst meeting.
Le Clos nished in 51.44, patting Phelps on
the shoulder after tying for silver with
Russias Evgeny Korotyshkin. Cavic tied for
fourth in 51.81, not even close to Phelps in
their nal meeting.
I cannot be compared to Michael Phelps,
said Cavic, who also plans to retire after the
London Games. Im a one-trick pony.

PHELPS
in the previous ve days, including three-time
Olympian Raushee Warrens 19-18 loss to
Frances Nordine Oubaali an hour earlier.
Spence stopped the eight-ght skid, but must
beat Zamkovoy to save the most successful team
in Olympic boxing history from its rst medal
shutout and its worst showing at any games
although three U.S. women are still alive in their
rst Olympic tournament, which begins Sunday.
Spences late reprieve was surreal for a team
that appeared headed home with nothing. Spence
struggled to penetrate Vikas technical, plodding
style despite showing superior power and enter-
tainment value.
We did a lot of work, got a lot of coaching, but
its the judges that we feel were going against
most of the time, Warren said.
The 2008 U.S. team won only one bronze
medal in Beijing, the worst showing so far but
at least that team won six total ghts, one more
than the London team. The American men have
won only one gold medal in the last three
Olympics, by Andre Ward in Athens in 2004.
The vaunted American team has claimed at
least one boxing medal in every modern
Olympics where boxing was a sport except the
boycotted Moscow Games, and many of the men
who won them are among the giants of the sweet
science.
Cassius Clay, Joe Frazier, George Foreman,
Floyd Patterson, Oscar De La Hoya, Evander
Holyeld, Roy Jones Jr. and Floyd Mayweather
Jr. all won medals for U.S. teams, leading genera-
tions of boxing talent the world couldnt match.
The Americans 48 gold medals and 108 total
medals are easily the most in Olympic boxing his-
tory, with 45 more medals than second-place
Cuba.
The London team actually won its rst four
ghts last weekend, but then the losses piled up
with alarming speed. The Americans poor per-
formance caps a two-decade struggle to adapt to
changes in the amateur sport, with steadily declin-
ing medal counts ever since boxing went to a
computerized scoring system that rewards a style
with stark differences from pro boxing.
The U.S. seemed headed for a better showing
last week. The 4-0 start showed its improved team
chemistry after the Beijing team squabbled and
argued its way to a dismal showing.
The current U.S. team has a strong relationship
with coach Basheer Abdullah and his staff, even
though Abdullah only had about six weeks to pre-
pare as a late hire by USA Boxing. None of the
ghters blamed the coaching-staff turmoil for his
performance, but the string of losses was stark:
Three ghters lost on Wednesday, followed by
two more on Thursday before Warrens defeat.
After Spences apparent loss, Abdullah came
close to suggesting the judges might have been
biased against some American ghters, although
he also believes U.S. boxers need years of training
in the amateur sport to compete at its highest lev-
els. Amateur boxing features ve ringside judges
who award points only when they believe a punch
lands, rather than traditional scoring systems that
evaluate skill, style, technique and aggression.

BOXING
Weve won two times against them, but
everything is a battle, Nicolai said. They are
the best team in the world, I am sure. If we
play in another match, they can win the gold
medal.
The Italians went 1-2 in the preliminary
round, losing not only to top-seeded Emanuel
and Alison of Brazil but also to an Austrian
team that did not make the medal round.
That forced Italy to play a lucky loser match
on Friday night. They beat Canada to earn a
matchup with the defending champions.
That turned out to be bad luck for the
Americans, who nished pool play unbeaten:
The combination of 6-foot-8-inch Nicolai
blocking at the net and Lupo chasing down
balls behind him is a mirror image of the U.S.
pair.
People say, Theyre the young Phil and
Todd, said Rogers, who has said he will
retire from international play after the
Olympics. I guess they Phil and Todded us
to death.
The 38-year-old Rogers has always been a
cerebral player his nickname is The
Professor and his Twitter handle is (at)pro-
fessortodd. Its a sense hes developed over
more than a decade on the worlds beaches.
But Lupo, who just turned 21, proved every
bit as cagey.
You dont see many 21-year-olds with
Todds type of game, Dalhausser said.
Theyre basically the younger version of us.
Italy has never won a medal in mens or
womens beach volleyball, a sport that has
been dominated by the Brazilians and the
Americans since it became an Olympic sport
in 1996.
This team, which came together only in
2011, was 15th of the 16 teams that qualied
for the 2012 Games through the FIVB point
system, not clinching their berth until the nal
qualication tournament.
But they have had success against Rogers
and Dalhausser, a team theyre hoping to
replace atop the medal podium.
We hope so. For me, its a dream to be like
Phil and Todd, Nicolai said. For me, they
are like an idol. Its strange to beat them at the
Olympics. I dont know how to react.

WIMBLEDON, England Roger Federer
clinched the rst singles medal of his career
Friday in an Olympic marathon, winning 19-17
in the nal set against Juan Martin del Potro.
The seminal match lasted 4 hours, 26 min-
utes, and Federer rallied to win 3-6, 7-6 (5), 19-
17. He converted only two of 13 break-point
chances, the second coming in the next-to-last
game.
With the comeback victory, four-time
Olympian Federer is assured of at least a silver.
On Sunday hell play in the nal against No. 3
seed Andy Murray of Britain, who beat No. 2
Novak Djokovic, who will play Del Potro for the
bronze.
In 2008, Federer and Swiss teammate
Stanislas Wawrinka won the gold in doubles.
But Federer had been 0 for 3 in Olympic singles,
the biggest hole in a resume that includes a
record 17 Grand Slam titles.
First-time Olympian Maria Sharapova
advanced to the womens nal by beating
Russian teammate Maria Kirilenko 6-2, 6-3.
Sharapovas opponent Saturday will be Serena
Williams or No. 1-seeded Victoria Azarenka.
For length, Federers victory didnt rival John
Isners 70-68 nal-set win at Wimbledon in
2010, or even Jo-Wilfried Tsongas 25-23 win in
the third set at the Olympics this week.
But the match offered epic drama magnied

Closing
statements
By Andrew Lyu
O
ne year ago, I would have
never imagined that my
opin-
ions would be
published in the
San Mateo
Daily Journal. I
was 17. I was
inexperienced. I
had few creden-
tials. And, as is
the case for
many teenagers, I was still in the
process discovering of my own
identity. At the time, I believed that
there was little reason why I should
be qualied to opine as a columnist
of a county newspaper.
One year later, I am but only a
year older. I am still relatively inex-
perienced, and I have gained few
credentials. Little has changed. But,
as I write my last column for the
San Mateo Daily Journal, I realize
why the Student News column
exists.
In the past year, I have ruminated
over the question of whether or not
leadership can be taught, the mean-
ing of college rankings, a tree
which was placed in Aragons cen-
ter court and the livelihood of the
American summer. For each sub-
ject I wrote upon, I had already
heard the opinions of plenty of
adults; I, however, provided the
opinions of students. I did not need
to have a college diploma to be
qualied to write for Student News.
In fact, I did not even need a high
school diploma. My job was to pro-
vide a public voice for the students
of San Mateo County.
To me, journalism is an interest-
ing art form in that it is not an art
of self expression. A newspaper is
not created as a medium of an indi-
viduals immediate emotions.
Rather, a newspaper is created to
inform a community and to give
members of a community a public
voice. It is for that reason that a 17-
year-old student at Aragon High
School has a qualied voice in a
county newspaper. It is for that rea-
son that the legitimate view of a
high school teenager should be pre-
sented in Student News.
Therefore, I sincerely hope that,
over the course of the past year, the

The Babymakers is the kind of comedy that
makes you appreciate Judd Apatow all the more.
This is what happens when emotion and character
are sacriced for jokes, when set pieces are pre-
ferred over narrative, when a movie is just a collec-
tion of so-so gags.
The Babymakers isnt exactly an official
Broken Lizard comedy (Super Troopers,

LOS ANGELES Queen Elizabeth II became an unofcial
Bond girl last weekend after parachuting out of a helicopter
with Daniel Craig during the lavish opening ceremony of the
2012 Summer Olympics in London.
Well, not really. It was all a bit of movie trickery, courtesy of
director Danny Boyle, who oversaw the Friday night spectacle.
But the real-life queen did take part in a scene full of drama
and action alongside Craig, who escorted her from
Buckingham Palace in classic, tuxedo-clad style in character as
James Bond. It was an unexpectedly sly side of the normally
reserved royal, who celebrated her Diamond Jubilee last month
to mark her 60 years on the throne.
Queen Elizabeth II has been portrayed only a few times in
major lms, but theyve been indelible. So start working on
your curtsey cause here we go:
The Queen (2006):
Helen Mirren was positively withering in a performance that
earned her a well-deserved Academy Award for best actress.
Director Stephen Frears lm depicts the week after Princess
Dianas death, and how the royal family responded to it or
rather, how they tried to ignore it. Mirren gave a subtle, sting-
ing and eventually sympathetic portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II
during this tumultuous time, showing real vulnerability as the
queen struggled to nd the right tone. And Peter Morgans wry,
observant script provided an intimate glimpse inside this rar-
eed realm.
The Kings Speech (2010):
The winner of four Oscars including best picture features
Queen Elizabeth II as a little girl, when she was still a princess
and went by the nickname Lilibet. The lm shows the future
queen (portrayed by Freya Wilson), the daughter of King
George VI (Oscar-winner Colin Firth), in a few glimpses at
home during the 1930s. Britain is about to enter World War II
and Bertie, as the king was known, is about to give the biggest
speech of his life, which the lifelong stutterer pulls off with the
help of his irrepressible therapist and friend, played by
Geoffrey Rush. The presence of Elizabeth and her sister helps
humanize Bertie and gives him strength during the challenging
time.
The Naked Gun: From
the Files of Police Squad! (1988):
Queen Elizabeth II is a crucial gure in this rst lm in the
Naked Gun series of spoofs. Shes the target of an assassi-
nation attempt, and the intrepid Lt. Frank Drebin (the late,
great Leslie Nielsen) must foil this deadly plot at a baseball
game between the Angels and Mariners (which, weirdly, is
being played at Dodger Stadium). The Queen (played by
Jeannette Charles) enjoys American culture by throwing out
the rst pitch and even taking part in The Wave. But once
Reggie Jackson (whos been programmed to kill her) starts
making his way robotically over to her box, gun in hand, its
up to Frank to save the day.
Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002):
Jeannette Charles resemblance to Elizabeth II has allowed
her to carve out an unexpected niche career as an actress: Shes
played the monarch repeatedly over the past four decades.
Besides the rst Naked Gun movie, Charles also played the
queen in the third and nal Austin Powers movie, the one in
which Austin travels back to 1975 and meets up with old ame
Foxxy Cleopatra (Beyonce Knowles). But before that, to
reward Austin for nally nabbing Dr. Evil and Mini-Me, the
queen makes him a knight. Your father must be very proud,
she says. But Austin is disappointed to discover that the
famous Nigel Powers isnt there for his sons big day.
National Lampoons European Vacation (1985):
Heres Charles again in this slapsticky, inferior sequel to the
1983 hit National Lampoons Vacation. The Griswolds are,
naturally, the ugly Americans wherever they go. But Ellen
(Beverly DAngelo) imagines greater things for the family
during a dream sequence in which a bored, yawning Queen
Elizabeth II suddenly brightens up when she sees her and
Clark (Chevy Chase) in a reception line. Its hugs and air kiss-
es all around then she wakes up.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The countdown to the most anticipated ver-
sion of Outside Lands has begun.
And its for that reason the organizers of the
music, food, art and wine festival have pulled
out all the stops in this their fth rendition
scheduled to open its gates Aug. 10-12 in
Golden Gate Park.
Last year, Outside Lands enjoyed a huge
bounce-back run after less-than-stellar num-
bers in 2010. Now, riding a wave of momen-
tum following a fantastic showing in 2011, the
festival is looking to some huge guns to cele-
brate ve years of tremendous music, food, art
and wine.
Stevie Wonder, Neil Young and Crazy
Horse, the Foo Fighters and Jack White head-
line the musical docket all acts that make
any music lover salivate for sure.
But it only seems tting that one of San
Franciscos own, the heavy metal legend that
is Metallica, be given the Saturday night,
headlining mantle in an attempt to elevate
Outside Lands to new heights.
Getting a chance to play it (Outside Lands)
and to sort of, you know, headline it, is obvi-
ously a huge thing for us, said Metallica
drummer Lars Ulrich. It was just a matter of
time, I guess, maybe I can say that without
being too sure of myself. But, you know, lis-
ten, if Im not going to play, Im going to go,
so either way Im going to involved in it some-
how and Im going to take my kids and its
sort of probably will be the concert highlight
of their year.
Metallicas visit to the city that spawned
them seems almost too perfect. There proba-
bly isnt a rock band more synonymous with a
city. So to have Metallica play the citys pre-
miere musical festival feels like the best fth
birthday gift ever.
I think that being back in San Francisco
and celebrating our 30th anniversary, which
we did with the full week of shows at the
Fillmore in December, in some way, it feels
kind of like, almost like the encore of play-
ing a week at the Fillmore and then getting
a chance to play out Outside Lands six
months later, is a huge way to just sort of
continue our long-standing love affair with
the all things San Francisco.
The longevity and continued success of
Metallica is something to marvel at. Instead of
sporadic peaks years apart, the band continues
to enjoy a steady inux of greatness ling
their schedule even 30 years after their birth
with touring, their own music festival on the
east coast (Orion) and a 3-D lm project.
Its an amazing thing, 31 years into a
career to be able to be as busy as we are and to
have people give a (expletive) and to be able to
still tour, Ulrich said. You know, we just did
six weeks of festivals in Europe and played
the Black Album and we had amazing, amaz-
ing gigs all over, Europe, Eastern Europe, the
whole thing. These are crazy days, but Im
loving every minute of it and its, you know, at
some point, there will be some chill time, but
I dont see that on the horizon right now.
Metallica is no stranger to the Bay Area and
San Francisco particularly. But Outside Lands
presents the band with an opportunity to do
something theyve never done and thats grace
the hometowns festival stage.
Oh, its awesome. I mean, its awesome
that you can continue to conjure up different
experiences, Ulrich said. So obviously,
weve played at the sweet AT&T (Park) the
site where the Giants played. Weve obviously
played Oakland. Weve played every indoor
building and every club and theater and so on.
So, obviously, any chance of playing in
Golden Gate Park, which has been the site of
many legendary gigs, you know, over the
decades, its obviously, a super cool thing.
To be able to, once again, play at a differ-
ent place in San Francisco after four nights at
the Fillmore, after ending our American por-
tion of that Magnetic Tour in San Jose a cou-
ple years ago its a cool thing to be able to
once again play a different place in San
Francisco. Its another privilege.
Metallica will headline Saturdays music at
the Lands End stage. Friday, Neil Young and
Crazy will follow the Foo Fighters. And on
Sunday, Stevie Wonder closes out the fth ver-
sion of the festival.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PRAGUE The frontman of the U.S.
heavy metal band Lamb of God has been
released from a Czech prison on $400,000 bail
as police investigate him for allegedly pushing
a fan off a stage who later died of his injuries,
an ofcial said Friday.
A Prague court on Thursday dismissed a
prosecution request that Randy Blythe be
banned from leaving the country. Blythes
lawyer, Martin Radvan, said the singer had
own out of the Czech capital for the United
States on Friday. The band is based in
Richmond, Virginia.
Im relieved to be out of Pankrac jail,
Blythe told the private Czech Nova television
at Pragues international airport. It wasnt
bad but it wasnt exactly fun.
The 41-year-old was arrested on June 27
when he returned to the Czech Republic for
another gig, not realizing that he was being
investigated for bodily harm resulting in death
during a concert he gave in Prague in 2010,
said Radvan.
Blythe told Czech Nova it was very tragic
the young man had died. I feel very bad that
a fan of my band is dead, that his family has to
go through it. Thats terrible. I feel awful for
them, he said.
Blythe, who has not been charged with a
crime, said he was not aware of what had hap-
pened to the fan at Pragues Abaton club that
year and was surprised to be arrested when he
returned to the Czech Republic to play a show
scheduled for June 28, said Radvan.

Weekend Aug. 4-5, 2012 THEDAILYJOURNAL
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Celeste and Jesse Forever features all
the familiar, tried-and-true romantic comedy
trappings.
After the break-up of her marriage, our
headstrong, type-A heroine (Rashida Jones)
goes on a series of dates with guys who are
terrible matches; naturally, theres also a
man she meets and instantly clashes with
(the suddenly ubiquitous and very good
Chris Messina), who will probably end up
being Mr. Right by the end.
She has a wisecracking best friend (Ari
Graynor) AND a wisecracking gay co-
worker (Elijah Wood). She has a demand-
ing career in media (as a trend forecaster)
and lives and plays in a trendy, specifical-
ly detailed section of Los Angeles (Silver
Lake/Echo Park). The script (which Jones
co-wrote) features plenty of pop culture
references to keep the film rooted in a rec-
ognizable, contemporary reality, complete
with a Britney Spears-style, bad-girl pop
star (Emma Roberts) who functions as
Celestes nemesis.
But ... it only seems like
youve seen this movie
countless times before.
Celeste and Jesse
Forever is by no means a
parody of romantic come-
dy cliches, but rather an
acknowledgement of
them en route to an explo-
ration of greater emotion-
al truths. In the hands of director Lee Toland
Krieger, it feels like an art-house version of
what is ordinarily a glossy, jaunty genre. In
the place of peppy, Top-40 hits to keep the
energy high, Celeste and Jesse Forever
features some unexpected, melancholy musi-
cal choices. But this aesthetic approach also
includes the use of way too much hand-held
camera, which is sometimes distracting
when stillness might have served an intimate
moment better.
Jones and co-writer Will McCormack, who
plays a supporting part as the films pot deal-
er/voice of reason, based the script on their
realization after just three weeks of dating
that theyd be better off as friends. Celeste
and Jesse (Andy Samberg) have been togeth-
er much longer: They fell in love in high
school, went to college together and married
young. Now that theyre 30, the driven
Celeste realizes just how different she and
her unemployed-artist husband truly are.
At the films start, theyve been separat-
ed six months, but Jesse is still living
behind their house in the converted
garage/studio. And theyre still best
friends. But their engaged mutual pals
(Graynor and Eric Christian Olsen) dont
understand this unusual arrangement and
urge them to stay together or get divorced
once and for all.
Celeste and Jesse Forever follows the
ways in which they both struggle to make
that transition. It feels very truthful in its
gray areas, and in depicting the contradiction
between the need to move onto something
new and the desire to cling to something
safe. Even a characters obligatory epiphany
in front of a large group of people rings with
an unusual amount of honesty, its so nicely
underplayed.
Jones and Samberg have such an easy,
goofy chemistry with each other, you could
make the argument for their characters to
stay together while also understanding why
they should probably forge separate lives.
Both actors also get a chance to show a deep-
er, more complex side to their talents beyond
the comic roots for which theyre known.
(Although Jones dramatic performance is
bit more convincing; theres a great ground-
edness and accessibility about her.)
Watching them together in this setting is
reminiscent of the joy of discovering Maya
Rudolph and John Krasinskis more serious
sides in Away We Go, the 2009 comic
drama from Sam Mendes about a couple
expecting their first baby who travel across
North America looking for the ideal place to
settle down. Celeste and Jesse Forever is
about a break-up rather than a new begin-
ning, but its just as much of a welcome sur-
prise.
Celeste and Jesse Forever, a Sony
Pictures Classics release, is rated R for lan-
guage, sexual content and drug use. Running
time: 91 minutes. Three stars out of four.
Celeste and Jesse upends cliches
tures a number of its members, most notably
Kevin Hefffernan.
But the lms stars are from far outside the
Broken Lizard sphere. Playing a married cou-
ple trying, and failing, to have a child are Paul
Schneider (All the Real Girls, Bright Star)
and Olivia Munn (the Daily Show corre-
spondent and supporting playing on HBOs
The Newsroom).
Both are curious leads for a broad comedy
Schneider because he has denite acting
chops (his performance in All the Real Girls
is a rare combination tender and funny), and
Munn because shes almost distractingly stun-
ning.
They have decent chemistry, though, as a
couple bonded by a shared, casual lewdness.
Their conversation about having a kid begins
as a mock discussion about anal sex. That the-
oretically shocking tone is maintained
throughout Babymakers, which would pre-
fer to treat childbearing with less sanctity and
more semen jokes.
Its a welcome attitude in an age of hyper-
conscious parenting, but Babymakers is
doomed by its lack of heart. It opens curi-
ously, because the lm is about the difculties
of impregnation with the couple, Tommy
and Audrey, woken by a crying baby in the
next room. Audrey tells him its his turn, to
which Tommy reluctantly rises, shuts the
door, mutters goddamn baby and returns to
bed.
The tone is set: These are glib, selsh peo-
ple and little that follows suggests they should
be parents, or have any real interest in being
them.
Instead, Babymakers is an increas-
ingly incredulously plotted series of
embarrassments about the wounded mas-
culinity of a low sperm count. Ensuing
misunderstandings nearly drive Audrey
and Tommy apart and push Tommy to an
ill-conceived sperm bank heist.
Schneider, who also starred for a time on
NBCs Parks & Recreation, has an easy
Southern charm that can be natural or rakish,
but few have known what do with him beside
his longtime friend David Gordon Green, who
directed All the Real Girls. He nearly sin-
glehandedly gives Babymakers a little sub-
stance if only the script, by Peter Gaulke
and Gerry Swallow, allowed for a little
besides the easy gag.
The Babymakers, a Millennium
Entertainment release, is rated R for crude and
sexual content, brief graphic nudity, language
and some drug use. Running time: 95 minutes.
One and a half stars out of four.

MOVIE
readers of Student News have enjoyed the
distinctly teenage perspective provided by
Jenna Chambers, Chloee Weiner and myself.
Hopefully, we have shown our readers a taste
of what it means to be part of Generation Y,
challenged our readers to take action for vari-
ous causes, questioned our readers about the
modern world and most importantly suggest-
ed to our readers what our generation wants
to change in the future.
I know that in my future, the media will
continue to play integral part of my life.
Now, I fully appreciate the importance of
social media in the modern world. Whether
I continue to pursue journalism at
Georgetown University, I will continue to
be a consumer of journalism as well as an
active participant in journalism, even if my
contributions are limited to letters to the
editor. Moreover, I encourage readers to
write a letter to the editor too after all,
letters to the editor provide much needed
insight and color to topical issues.
Finally, I must give a warm round of
thanks to all of people who have brought
inspiration into my life over the course of the
past year. I wish to thank a former Student
News columnist and San Mateo Daily
Journal intern Philip Dimaano for introduc-
ing me to this opportunity. I wish to thank
my teachers at Aragon with whom I was
always able to bounce ideas off and discuss.
I would like to thank the members of the
Daily Journal staff, who were able to make
one of my rst working experiences pleasing
and unceasingly interesting. I wish to thank
my family and closest friends, without whom
I would not be the person that I am today.
And nally, I wish to thank my readers, who
range from close friends to San Mateo Union
High School District administrators to col-
lege interviewers, for spending their time
reading my column after all, it is reader-
ship which transforms a farfetched musing
into a column.
Andrew Lyu is a recent graduate of Aragon High
School. Student News appears in the weekend edi-
tion. You can email Student News at news@smdai-

The two sides landed in mediation last year
after the city sought damages from the NPJC
for being in default of its long-term 55-year
lease.
Under the terms of the lease, the NPJC was
to build a cultural arts center on the property
but it never took out the permits to build the
center by an established deadline.
The potential loss of the cultural arts center
in the sale of the property was cause for Kiesel
to vote against the deal.
The NPJC is home to the Peninsula Jewish
Community Center and the Wornick Jewish
Day School and sits on 11 acres adjacent to
City Hall.
The NPJC currently leases the property
from the city for $13,815 a month. The lease
was initially signed with Foster City in 1998.
Should the NPJC default for whatever rea-
son, the original lease agreement would then
go back into play and, for the most part, we
would pick things up where we left off,
Foster City Assistant City Manager Steve
Toler wrote the Daily Journal in an email.
However, that is a fallback to protect the
citys interests. We fully expect the NPJC to
fulll its nancial commitment under the loan
and believe this was a good solution in the
best interests of both parties that will see the
NPJC remain as a community member and
partner in Foster City for a long time to come.
The NPJC may one day build a cultural arts
center on the property, PJCC Executive
Director Deborah Pinsky previously told the
Daily Journal.
The 140,000-square-foot center is located at
800 Foster City Blvd. and has 10,000 mem-
bers, half of whom reside in Foster City,
according to the PJCC.
The net impact to the general fund is an
additional $371,000 in net revenue annually,
Toler wrote in the email. Over the next ve
years, there will be a net positive impact of
$400,000 per year. The structural deficit
would be reduced from $1.6 million to $1.2
million with City Council approval, Toler
wrote in the email.
The NPJC is a nonprot agency and is
exempt from property taxes.
The Foster City Council meets 6:30 p.m.,
Monday, Aug. 6, City Hall, 620 Foster City
Blvd., Foster City.

so high. President Jimmy Carter was bounced
from ofce in November 1980 when unem-
ployment was 7.5 percent.
In remarks at the White House, Obama said
the private sector has added 4.5 million jobs in
the past 29 months. But he acknowledged
there still are too many people out of work.
Weve got more work to do on their behalf,
he said.
Romney focused on the increase in the
unemployment rate, as did other Republicans.
Middle-class Americans deserve better, and I
believe America can do better, he said in a
statement.
The economy is still struggling more than
three years after the Great Recession ofcially
ended in June 2009. The collapse of the hous-
ing market and the nancial crisis that fol-
lowed froze credit, destroyed trillions of dol-
lars in household wealth and brought home
construction to a halt. Consumer spending,
which accounts for 70 percent of economic
output, remains weak as Americans pay down
debts and save more.
From April through June this year, the econ-
omy expanded at a listless 1.5 percent annual
pace, a slowdown from the January-March
pace of 2 percent.
The job market got off to a strong start in
2012. Employers added an average 226,000 a
month from January through March.
But the hiring spree was caused partly by an
unseasonably warm winter that allowed con-
struction companies and other rms to hire
earlier in the year than usual, effectively steal-
ing jobs from the spring. The payback showed
up as weak hiring an average 73,000 a
month from April through June.
Then came the 163,000 new jobs in July,
beating the 100,000 economists had expected.
Now that the warm weather effects have
worn off, economists expect job growth to set-
tle into range of 100,000 to 150,000 a month.
That would be consistent: The economy has
added an average of 151,000 jobs a month this
year. But that hasnt been enough to bring
unemployment down. At 8.3 percent, unem-
ployment was as high in July as it had been in
January.
The unemployment rate can rise even when
hiring picks up because the government
derives the gures from two different surveys.
One is called the payroll survey. It asks
mostly large companies and government agen-
cies how many people they employed during
the month. This survey produces the number
of jobs gained or lost.
The other is the household survey.
Government workers ask whether the adults in
a household have a job and use the ndings to
produce the unemployment rate. Last months
uptick in joblessness was practically a round-
ing error: The unemployment rate blipped up
from 8.22 percent in June to 8.25 in July.
Worries have intensied that the U.S. econ-
omy will fall off a scal cliff at the end of
the year. Thats when more than $600 billion
in tax increases and spending cuts will kick in
unless Congress reaches a budget deal.
The draconian dose of austerity is meant to
force Republicans and Democrats to compro-
mise. If they cant and taxes go up and spend-
ing gets slashed, the economy will plunge into
recession, contracting at an annual rate of 1.3
percent in the rst six months of 2013, accord-
ing to the Congressional Budget Ofce.
The rest of the world is slowing. Much of
Europe is in recession as policymakers strug-
gle to deal with high government debts, weak
banks and the threat that countries will aban-
don the euro currency and wreck the regions
nancial system.

ECONOMY
SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 2012
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Changes to your routine
should work out rather well, especially those where
chance intervenes. Shifts you personally engineer are
likely to be a bit more complicated.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your warm, cooperative
personality is extremely contagious. Your friends
and colleagues will fnd this to be quite appealing,
encouraging them to act similarly.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Because your pride, not
your ego, will dominate your behavior, its likely to be
a very rewarding day for you. You wont hesitate to
affx your signature to any of your efforts.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Being a bit of a risk-
taker could work to your advantage if you use your
daring productively. Thus, make sure that attaining
what you go after is within the realm of probability.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Apply your efforts
toward concluding a promising situation, instead of
branching out into doing something new. Your biggest
rewards will come from things already underway.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Persons can be
swayed to your way of thinking if you use a friendly,
logical approach on them. Conversely, if you try to
force your thinking on others, youre not likely to
make any headway.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If youre involved in
a payment scheme that involves commission, this
could be a good day. Its important, however, that
you dont put all your eggs in one basket. Limit your
offerings.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- There is a very fne
line between being assertive and being aggressive.
Dont think your associates wont see the difference.
Avoid being pushy or arrogant at all costs.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Dont hesitate to offer
a helping hand when you see a friend in need of
assistance. Youll know how to help out in a manner
that doesnt make him or her feel inadequate.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A new way to make
some money that has captured your fancy is worthy
of your attention. Check it out thoroughly, in order to
appreciate all of the possibilities it offers.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A situation you have
been evading isnt likely to be as bad as youve led
yourself to believe. If you try to meet it head-on,
chances are youll discover this for yourself.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If youre able to choose
between assignments of a physical and mental
nature, tackle the one that uses your mind more than
your muscles.

Weekend Aug. 4-5, 2012 THEDAILYJOURNAL
By Zeina Karam
and Vladimir Achenkov
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT Syria reached out to its pow-
erful ally Russia on Friday, as senior officials
pleaded with Moscow for financial loans and
supplies of oil products an indication that
international sanctions are squeezing
President Bashar Assads regime.
The signs of desperation came as resilient
rebels fought regime forces in the Syrian
capital only two weeks after the government
crushed a revolt there. The renewed battles in
Damascus show that Assads victories could
be fleeting as armed opposition groups
regroup and resurge.
The fighting in
Damascus today proves
that this revolution can-
not be extinguished, said
activist Abu Qais al-
Shami. The rebels may
be forced to retreat
because of the regimes
use of heavy weaponry
but they will always
come back.
Syria is thought to be burning quickly
through the $17 billion in foreign reserves
that the government was believed to have at
the start of Assads crackdown on a popular
uprising that erupted in March 2011. The
conflict has turned into a civil war, and rights
activists estimate more than 19,000 people.
Syrian regime pleads with Russia for economic aid
By Peter James Spielmann
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
UNITED NATIONS The U.N. General
Assembly overwhelmingly denounced
Syrias crackdown on dissent Friday in a
symbolic effort meant to push the dead-
locked Security Council and the world at
large into action on stopping the countrys
civil war.
Before the vote, Secretary-General Ban
Ki-Moon reminded the Assembly of the
fresh violence in the city of Aleppo and drew
comparisons between the failure to act in
Syria with the international communitys
failure to protect people from past genocide
in Srebrenica, Bosnia, and Rwanda.
The conict in Syria is a test of every-
thing this organization stands for, Ban said.
I do not want todays United Nations to fail
that test.
U.N. General Assembly
denounces Syrias actions
Bashar Assad
in fact faking his condition to avoid a criminal
retrial on nine counts of child molestation.
The report is based on observations by non-
forensic doctors like nurses and custodians at
the hospital who describe incidents that
clearly give rise to the belief that this man has
perpetuated a hoax on us, McKowan said.
The report also includes statements attrib-
uted to defense attorney Jonathan McDougall
who told Judge Jack Grandsaert he anticipates
taking the stand himself to address the com-
ments that are categorically incorrect. The
nature of those statements were not disclosed
but McKowan speculated they were behav-
ioral observations of Ayres during preparation
of the earlier trial.
McDougall used his own expected testimo-
ny and the addition of extra lawyers to handle
that aspect as one reason why he could not
adequately prepare for a September compe-
tency hearing. Trial scheduling conicts were
another. Ultimately, Grandsaert, who presided
over the original competency jury trial, set the
hearing for Oct. 2 with the understanding it
could be moved if necessary. Grandsaert
anticipates the hearing to last approximately
seven court days.
In the meantime, Ayres remains in custody
at the mens jail although Grandsaert will
hear from attorneys next Wednesday on
whether the law allows release on bail
before a defendant is found competent and
criminal proceedings are reinstated.
McDougall argued Ayres is neither a flight
risk nor a danger to society, adding that even
if all the allegation are true they were com-
mitted in the scope of his medical practice
that no longer exists. Barring bail,
McDougall asked that Ayres be sent back to
Napa State Hospital where hes been since
October but McKowan argued there is no
benefit because he is malingering and not
accepting medication or therapy anyway.
Theres nothing at Napa that he was doing
that he cant do here, she said.
During the hearing, a visibly thin and bald-
ing Ayres sat in a wheelchair at the defense
table with his head slightly bowed.
Last weeks hospital report was an unex-
pected twist in Ayres case which has wound
through the San Mateo County police and
court system for the last decade.
San Mateo police rst began looking at
Ayres in 2002 after a former patient accused
him of molestation during the 1970s when he
was 13. After a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on
the statute of limitations nixed criminal pros-
ecution, the victim and Ayres reached a con-
dential settlement in July 2005. In a deposi-
tion for the lawsuit, Ayres reportedly admitted
conducting physical exams of patients as part
of his care.
Ayres practice included private clients and
referrals from both the juvenile justice system
and school districts. He also became known as
president of the American Academy of Child
and Adolescent Psychiatry and for hosting the
sex education series Time of Your Life.
Ayres received juvenile court referrals up
through 2004.
He was arrested in 2007 and tried in 2009
for allegedly abusing six former male patients
under the guise of medical exams between
1988 and 1996 when they were 9 to 13 years
old. The jury hung in varying amounts on
every count and his mental tness was called
into question before he could stand trial again.
McDougall told jurors Ayres couldnt remem-
ber his childrens middle names or the word
for simple items like biscuit.
The jury deadlocked and the prosecution
agreed to allow Ayres hospitalization rather
than launch another trial. After a mandatory
90-day evaluation period, McDougall sought
Ayres release from Napa State Hospital to a
facility closer to his wife and home on the
Peninsula. After a series of delays on the
request, the report submitted last week made
that question moot and gave his alleged vic-
tims and their family hope of nally seeing
another shot at trial.

stayed pretty much the same since the begin-
ning, but thats just the way the owners (and
customers) like it, said proprietor Owen
Molloy, 39.
We dont change much around here,
Molloy said. Any changes, people talk
about.
The building on Mission Road that houses
the tavern has been standing since 1883, when
it was built as a hotel. Its one of the oldest
buildings on the Peninsula, Molloy said. His
fathers family immigrated from Ireland in
1906 and his grandfather bought the building
in 1927. He leased it out for 10 years and then
took it over and started Molloys. His father
chose the name Molloys Springs for the busi-
ness on a trip to Calistoga with some friends,
Molloy said, and that name stuck for quite a
while. It only changed to its current name in
1982 and their liquor license is still under
Molloys Springs.
The tavern is across the street from Holy
Cross Cemetery (the building was built ve
years before), and that was one of the main
reasons Molloy said his grandfather bought
the place. Its an Irish tradition to go have a
drink after burying a loved one, he said, and
so his grandfather bought it to serve as some-
where people could host wakes after funerals.
Molloys Tavern has seen a variety of histo-
ry over the years evidence can be found in
the pictures and newspapers on the walls.
When boxing was outlawed in San Francisco
in the early 1900s, Molloy said the ghts
moved to Colma. There used to be a training
facility up the road from the tavern, and box-
ers would grab a beer at Molloys when they
were out running. Later in the 1950s and
1960s, the community was a prominent drag
racing spot, he said, and there were races on
the street out in front of the tavern. In the
1970s, Evel Knievel once rode through the
bar, Molloy said.
And the tavern itself has worn a number of
hats it was an (unsanctioned) casino when
it rst began in the 1930s, Molloy said, and
theres even a story that it was a brothel at one
time.
This was the Wild Wild West back here,
Molloy said.
Today, Molloys also caters to sports fans.
Customers can relax and watch a number of
sports including football, basketball and base-
ball on the taverns televisions. If patrons are
feeling especially competitive, they can try
their hand at pool or darts.
Despite the years, the tavern still has an
Irish pub feel today, Molloy said. They have a
lot of working class and union customers, and
still host celebrations after funerals. A local
Irish step-dancing school holds classes
upstairs from the bar, and every rst Saturday
of the month the San Francisco Banjo Band
plays live the same group thats been play-
ing since the 1950s, Molloy said. The look of
the venue itself has also remained the same
over the years, he said, although his father
added more of the pictures and newspapers
when he took it over.
His grandfather treated everyone who came
into his tavern like family, Molloy said, and
that treatment of customers is how theyve
stayed open so long. They have customers
who have been regulars for several decades,
he said.
They say they came here while they were
visiting relatives up in that gravesite and their
parents would come by and have a cocktail
and theyd have a Shirley Temple or a Roy
Rogers, Molloy said.
Business has stayed good at Molloys over
the years and has never been in danger of clos-
ing, Molloy said. Business was really down
two years ago, he said, but picked up after the
San Francisco Giants went to the World
Series.
Theres always someone needing to mourn
a relative or celebrate a birthday, Molloy
said. Its home. Why have a party at your
house? Thats no fun.
While he said theres always something that
needs work in the 129-year-old building,
Molloys Tavern is something thats always
been for Molloy and his family. His seven
brothers and sisters still help out, Molloy said,
and they all plan on keeping it the same way
forever. Theres a possibility of having a
kitchen put into the tavern, Molloy said, but
hed have to get that change past his family
rst.
His grandfather would love the place he
began back in 1937 today, Molloy said, and
hes personally happy with the way his fami-
lys business has been run.
I think we do a great job of carrying on the
Irish community, Molloy said. We keep it
real around here.
