See BUDGET, Page 6
Ever see any grafti on a SamTrans bus? It is doubtful, since the transit agency has a zero tolerance policy for the bothersome hieroglyphics. But its not the bus drivers job to clean up grafti, that job belongs to
someone else at either of the transit agencys two sprawling maintenance facilities in San Carlos and South San Francisco. Behind every bus driver, there are a team of dispatchers, mechanics, utility workers and other technicians who keep the eet of 350 buses clean, safe and on time. Yesterday was national Dump the
Pump day and SamTrans opened up its South San Francisco operations and maintenance facility to the public to offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the transit agency and its hundreds of employees. The North Base facility, as it is called, is about 25 acres just north of San Francisco International Airport on the Bayshore.

Strange but True

Prison escapee caught after knocking on wrong door
SEATTLE An escaped convict was caught following a day on the loose after he knocked on a cabin door only to nd out the man renting the lodge was an off-duty guard at the prison he just ed. Authorities said 39-year-old James Edward Russell took off from the Washington state penitentiary Tuesday morning. Early the next day, Russell still wearing his prison uniform went to the cabin asking to use the phone, said Department of Corrections spokesman Chad Lewis on Thursday. After a scufe, Russell ran off again, Lewis said. The guard, whose name was being withheld by authorities, reported the incident and Russell was caught a few hours later. He had been serving time for forgery and theft. Interim chamber president Blue Hessner says the chamber wants to sell rights to the event and concentrate on business development. According to the Boulder Daily Camera, the event has become too expensive and the chamber believes an event company could do a better job. County Jail while prosecutors determine whether to le charges, Rodriguez said. US Airways spokeswoman Valerie Wunder said the airlines dress code forbids indecent exposure or inappropriate attire. New Mexico coach Mike Locksley said the school is aware of the arrest and plans to support Marman, who transferred to New Mexico after playing the last two seasons at City College of San Francisco. It is never positive when you have a student-athlete arrested, no matter what the circumstances are, he said.

Baggy pants lead to players arrest at S.F. airport

SAN FRANCISCO A University of New Mexico football players saggy pants led to his arrest and removal from an airplane at San Francisco International Airport, authorities said Thursday. DeShon Marman, 20, was boarding a ight Wednesday to Albuquerque, N.M., when a US Airways employee noticed his pants were below his buttocks, and his boxer shorts were showing, Sgt.

Marman refused the employees request to pull up his pants and failed to immediately comply when she asked him to get off the plane, Rodriguez said, adding Marman injured a police ofcer when he was being arrested. The player was arrested on suspicion of trespassing, battery of a police ofcer and obstruction of a police investigation, Rodriguez told the Associated Press.

State of Millbrae: Change

Mayor outlines development action in annual address
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Police reports
Special delivery
A UPS delivery driver was punched in the chest by a man who thought the driver had hit his car on the 1700 block of Amphlett Boulevard in San Mateo before 7:25 p.m. Wednesday, June 15.
Economic changes are coming to Millbrae in the form of development, plans for which Mayor Dan Quigg described in the annual State of the City breakfast Thursday. Renovations planned for the Clarion Hotel and Safeway will mean at revenue in the year ahead, but hopefully a boost in years to come, said Quigg. In addition, Bay Area Rapid Transit has submitted conceptual plans around the train station that call for a hotel and relocation of the current transit center. Those large projects are examples of the changes coming to Millbrae. We have lots of changes, Quigg said. Housing options will be growing in Millbrae. The mixed-use Belamor project located at 151 El Camino Real has more than half of the 142 residential units occupied. City staff is working on a project to create a 27-unit apartment building for low-income housing. And, currently going through the Planning Commission, are plans to demolish the Wendys in Millbrae, located at 120 S. El Camino Real, to build more than 50 condominiums and some ground-oor ofce space.
Millbrae is getting a new place to eat as well. Renovations are under way at the former site of Zacks Bar and Grill, 100 El Camino Real, with a new restaurant called Boiling Bay to open in July, said Quigg. This area around the Dan Quigg Millbrae Train Station has always been slated for redevelopment. BARTs plans call for a hotel at the northeast corner of the area while moving the transit center west. Millbraes station is expected to be the connection between high-speed rail and the San Francisco International Airport, which should bring with it an economic stimulus, said Quigg. Plans for high-speed rail include funds the city can use to update the Millbrae Station Specic Plan. A long-term goal finally becoming a reality is adding a traffic light at El Camino Real and Victoria Avenue near the train station. Ninety percent of the $750,000 project will covered through grants. Its been a four-year goal for the city who needed to work with the state to get approval. It
should be operational by October. As the state works out budget details, the fate of redevelopment agencies remains uncertain. Redevelopment funds cover about $700,000 annually in city services, said Quigg, who stressed a possible hit to the city without access to the money. Quigg also took time to emphasize the effort of volunteers in the city which help keep costs down. Grants have been secured in recent years for many of the technology and equipment upgrades to the safety services another way the city saves money, he said. Shared services continue to be a priority particularly when it comes to emergency services. A study to create further savings in the way of police services should be nished in the coming weeks, he said. It will first be reviewed by a City Council subcommittee. The speech will air on Millbrae Community Television. For times visit www.mctv.tv.

ICE director signals shift in deportation policy

SAN DIEGO The head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Thursday that he wanted to give eld attorneys more latitude to decide which immigrants to target for deportation. Agency Director John Morton said he was seriously considering an order that would give
ICE lawyers more independence and more discretion not to assert the scope of the agencys authority in each and every case. It would extend to the Customs and Border Protection agency, which arrests hundreds of thousands of people each year along the U.S.Mexico border. He didnt elaborate and declined to answer questions after his remarks to the American
Immigration Lawyers Association, leaving some uncertainty about how much impact his edict would have on the 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States. Still, his comments drew strong applause from the attorneys, who have complained that government lawyers are often straightjacketed in deciding which cases to pursue in immigration court.

County repaid $1.5M in probation money

San Mateo Countys Probation Department is nally recouping nearly $1.5 million the state incorrectly doled out to three other counties for juvenile probation and camps. The error happened in scal year 2008-09 when the camp funding moved from the state general fund to the vehicle license fee pool. While the mistake was unintentional, it is indicative of what happens when the state budget continually shifts which revenue stream pays for programs and services, said Christy Morrill, deputy director of probation administration for San Mateo County. When it keeps switching, someone gets left holding the bag, Morrill said. So much is moving around, whether shifting or nding a new source, that it creates an accounting nightmare. In other words, if the revenue streams arent aligned with the policies, chaos can ensue. The scal world apple cart gets upset by whats going on in the political world, Morrill said. San Mateo County was underpaid $1,426,918 from the Juvenile Probation and Camps Fund while Tulare County received an extra $893,061, Monterey County received
When it keeps switching,someone gets left holding the bag....So much is moving around,whether shifting or nding a new source,that it creates an accounting nightmare.
Christy Morrill,deputy director of probation administration for San Mateo County
$382,059 and Madera County received $151,798. The Probation Department provides supervision of adult and juvenile offenders, rehabilitative programs and oversees juvenile detention facilities including the Youth Services Center and Camp Glenwood. Complicating how probation is funded from the state are numerous groups, disparate methods by counties of whether to cover community providers or institutions and differences in how money is claimed quarterly. San Mateo County didnt submit its claim until the end of the period, by which time the other counties had already received their allocation. Morrill said the department worked with the assumption the money would be repaid eventually and closed its books each year with that belief. Earlier this year, though, Morrill said he lost patience with the whole thing and contacted the County Managers Ofce who in turn asked Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, for some extra prodding of the state and the Corrections Standards Authority.
The thing with the state is you have to give them so much notice and try to work out some way of reimbursement, all of which takes time, said Connie Juarez-Diroll, legislative director in the County Managers Ofce. After several letters to the overcompensated counties, Controller John Chiang and Matthew Cate, secretary of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the county was reimbursed roughly $500,000 from Monterey and Madera counties. Tulare County continued to balk, according to Hills ofce, until Chiang said he would withhold the money in two parts. The rst, about half the $893,061, is due July 15 with the remainder coming in October 15. Although the current Probation Department is set, the lack of the $1.5 million would have eventually caught up. We would have had to make position cuts, no question. And we would have had to have a very tough discussion on how to offset this cost, Morrill said.

DA: Contractor offered fake rebates

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A man previously convicted of contracting fraud is again accused of passing himself off as a PG&E affiliate offering contract work vouchers for allowing him to make energy conservation improvements to their home. Instead of completing the work though, prosecutors say Michael Phong Nguyen, 41, charged the victims credit cards beyond the amount of the voucher and his hired laborers did not complete the jobs properly, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. He alleged in a civil rights lawsuit that ofcers Jaime Mateo and David Gough failed to notice he was in insulin shock when Mateo pepper-sprayed him and the two ofcers wrestled him to the ground and struck him with batons Douglas Burns before handcufng him. The ofcers said Burns
On Aug. 13, 2010, Nguyen reportedly coldcalled several residents and identified himself as operating the Professional Gas and Electric Company, an affiliate of Pacific Gas & Electric. Two homeowners accepted the voucher Michael offers and in neither case Nguyen was the work completed well, Wagstaffe said.
In one case, workers did one day of work before abandoning the job with exposed wires and damaged stucco. The homeowner required expensive repairs by a legitimate contractor. At the time, Nguyen had a permanent injunction from San Francisco in 2007 prohibiting him from this same practice. The new case left Nguyen charged with violating a court order, as well as 12 other counts including false advertising and contracting without a license. If convicted of the charges, of which 10 are felonies, he faces six to seven years in prison, Wagstaffe said.

The jury in the court of U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg concluded after a two-week trial and three days of deliberation that Burns suffered damages of $217,784 in the incident. The jurors found that Mateo used excessive force and that both ofcers were negligent. The panel also said Burns was negligent as well and that the ofcers had 70 percent of the responsibility of the negligence and Burns had 30 per-

Weiner resigns in sex scandal

By Karen Zraick and Andrew Miga
Local briefs
Workers ratify contract
Redwood City workers voted Wednesday to ratify a three-year contract, ending months of negotiations stretching back to January and indicating a desire to help the citys financial situation, according to the workers union. We understand the citys economic situation, and were always willing to do our part to maintain services, said Rich del Ben, SEIU Local 521 chapter chair, in a prepared statement. Thats why we looked for solutions that benefit the whole community. Redwood City officials have looked to employee groups to make salary and benefits concessions as one prong of its approach to closing a budget deficit and putting it on solid financial footing. In announcing the contracts ratification, workers say they echo the goal. In these tough economic times, we always strived toward an agreement that maintains community services, and were happy to have accomplished that, said Cheryl Easterbrook, secretary for engineering and transportation.
NEW YORK Deant and combative no longer, New York Rep. Anthony Weiner soberly announced his resignation from Congress on Thursday, bowing to the furor caused by his sexually charged online dalliances with a former porn actress and other women. Democratic Party leaders, concerned that Weiner could weigh the party down in the 2012 elections, welcomed the announcement after days spent trying to coax, push and nally coerce the wayward 46-year-old into quitting. Known as brash, liberal and ambitious, Weiner had run for mayor of New York in 2005 and had been expected to do so again. He was in his seventh term in Congress. At an appearance in Brooklyn that drew hecklers as well as supporters, Weiner apologized for the personal mistakes I have made and the embarrassment I have caused, particularly to his wife, Huma Abedin. Pregnant with the couples rst child, she was absent as she had been 10 days ago when Weiner rst admitted sending inappropriate messages and photos to women online after earlier denying emphatically he had done so. In his brief farewell appearance, Weiner said he initially hoped the controversy would fade but then realized the distraction that I have created has made that impossible. That conclusion echoed party ofcials who had become worried that the intense public focus on Weiner and the Republican polit-

ical rhetoric sure to follow would complicate their campaign efforts in 2012. Congressman Weiner exercised poor judgment in his actions and poor judgment in his reaction to the revelations, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said in a statement released moments after he spoke. Today, he made the right judgment in resigning. Weiner made his announcement at the same senior citizen center in Brooklyn where he announced his candidacy for the New York city council in 1992. He declined to answer questions, leaving unaddressed whether he envisioned his resignation as the end of a once-promising political career or merely a painful pause of uncertain duration.
Grand jury: Emancipated foster youth need mentors

The San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury is recommending the countys Human Service Agency develop and implement a program to recruit and qualify mentors for every youth emancipated from foster care, it said in its latest report released yesterday. Doing so would assist foster youth as they exit the foster care system. Currently, one out of five foster youth in California is incarcerated and one in four becomes homeless within two years of aging out of the system, according to the report. The grand jury concluded that despite the best efforts of the countys Human Service Agency Adolescent Services, convincing former foster youth to continue with needed assistance is impaired by youth not interested in continuing contact with county agencies. Providing opportunities for permanent, committed mentors prior to emancipation would help, according to the report. The full report is available at www.sanmateocourt.org/grandjury.
More unions oppose Cargill development

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Two more unions have joined the list of groups opposed to the proposed development of the Cargill Saltworks site in Redwood City, according to the Bay preservation group battling the possibility. The Sailors Union of the Pacic and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 6 are the latest unions, joining the Teamsters Joint Council No. 7, the
International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 10 and the American Federation of Teachers Local 1493, according to Save the Bay. All oppose the Cargill proposal by developer DMB Association to build up to 12,000 residential units on the salt ponds which are also near the Port of Redwood City. Protecting our vital ports, by following common-sense zoning and land-use policies that keep housing away from heavy industry is
a critical concern of our members, said Gunnar Lundeberg, president of the Sales Union of the Pacic, in a prepared statement. The Cargill Saltworks plan calls for 50 percent of the 1,436-acre site to be preserved for permanent open space, public recreation and tidal marsh restoration and the remaining half be developed into housing, schools, parks, retail areas and transit facilities. Save the Bay, however, wants all the land to be converted to tidal marshlands.

s a nancial consultant who reviews many plans each year, all people make simple mistakes in their nancial plans that end up costing them dearly. The biggest mistake they make is that they do not meet with their advisor annually for a review. Few things remain constant these days. If the client is invested in risk products, they should meet with their advisor more often than annually. Their risk advisor should be very hands on, especially if they are in Stocks, mutual funds or Exchange Traded Funds.
Many risk advisors use computer programs to select products based on the clients risk prole. It is impossible to work with a lot of clients and do a lot of trading without using these programs. A lot of activity does not mean that you are gaining. Many times if you deduct the fees of purchasing the product, the management fees paid to the advisors, & the taxes owed, you may be going backwards. Understanding the fees is mammoth. Another detail missed is that they do not have their portfolio reviewed from
a taxation standpoint. Making one dollar more that puts you in a higher tax bracket can be very costly and wipe away the gains you have made. Moving money tax free and growing money tax sheltered produce greater results. Titles of accounts and beneciary designations also impact taxes. You made your wealth. Make sure that you hold on to all you can and then some. Janice Gough, LUTCF, Financial Consultant specializes in Retirement Income Planning

Jury deliberating doctors competency

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The former prominent child psychiatrist accused of molesting several former male patients two decades ago could very well have memory loss and dementia but the 79-yearold San Mateo man is still able to aid his defense in a new trial, a prosecutor argued to jurors yesterday. Just being unable to remember things does not make you incompetent to stand trial, Melissa McKowan said during closing arguments in the competency trial of William Hamilton Ayres. McKowan largely agreed with the assessments of several doctors who evaluated Ayres he is forgetful, suffers from dementia and could likely be in the early stages of Alzheimers disease. However, she told jurors, Ayres could be aided in a second trial with notes, prompts and even written summaries of what he has said or done in previous days. Whether he remembers decisions is differ-
ent then being able to make them, she said. But defense attorney Jonathan McDougall said the prosecution claim that a second trial doesnt require the complex decision-making and defendant input as the rst is William Ayres untrue. His client cant remember his childrens middle names, the name of his rst defense attorney and often the names of basic items like biscuit or pencil. If McDougall were to prompt his client as suggested, the jury would nd him not credible, he said. In a competency proceeding, the defense has the burden to prove a defendant does not understand the charges or the legal proceedings and his or her role in them. Ayres has a disease thats been attacking his brain and hes not capable of helping me defend himself in the most important part of his life, McDougall said, referring to the By his veto, he prolongs the public confusion and fear that has been the shame of every budget in this state for the last 30 years, said Assembly Majority Leader Charles Calderon, D-Whittier. GOP lawmakers challenged Browns claim that the current standstill was their fault. In fact, its the Democrats who are holding California hostage by refusing to allow the voters to weigh in on meaningful structural reforms not just Gov. Browns tax proposal, a group of four Republican senators who have been involved in budget talks with the governor said in a joint statement. Republicans are seeking reforms to public employee pensions, a spending cap and regulatory changes to help California businesses. At a news conference Thursday afternoon, Brown offered little insight into how he planned to break the long-running stalemate with the GOP but said it could include armtwisting and concessions and everything within the law I will pull out of my gubernatorial briefcase. We need four Republican votes and in the next several days Im going to do everything I can Ill move heaven and earth to get those votes, he said. Brown wants the Legislature to extend expiring sales and vehicle tax hikes for several months and authorize a special election this
criminal trial. Closing arguments yesterday morning ended a seven-day trial to determine if Ayres, whose 2009 trial hung with a deadlocked jury on all molestation counts, should be hospitalized or tried again. The crux was less if Ayres has some impairment doctors on both sides agreed to that but how much so and how much he really needed to participate in his own defense. McDougall, who stepped in as defense after the mistrial, argued his clients inability to recall the former patients who accused him or other circumstances of the past decades hinder his ability to defend him. How can he legally ... be able to assist counsel? He cant, McDougall said. Ayres is charged with nine counts of lewd and lascivious activity and the special allegation of substantial sexual activity against six boys ages of 9 to 13 between 1988 and 1996. Dozens of other victims were alleged but beyond the statute of limitations. Ayres testied in the rst trial that while he did perform physical exams, they were in the course of treatment and not inappropriate. Jurors deadfall in which voters would be asked to extend those increases and an already expired increase in the personal income tax rate for up to ve years. The Democrats have majorities in both the Assembly and the Senate but need at least two GOP votes in each house to pass tax increases or place measures on a ballot. The budget plan approved Wednesday by the Legislature and sent to Browns desk was widely seen as a placeholder that would allow Brown and the Democrats to continue pursuing the budget they really want. It also allowed legislators to possibly avoid a measure passed last year that halts their pay if they dont approve a balanced budget by June 15. The Democrats proposal allotted $3 billion less in state education funding than Brown called for when he released his own revised budget plan in May. It also would have cut more than $500 million from state programs. Brown said the proposal reected some positive work but did not go far enough. I am vetoing today because I dont want to see more billions in borrowing, legal maneuvers that are questionable and a budget that will not stand the test of time, Brown said in an online video message after announcing the veto on his Twitter account. Democratic leaders expressed skepticism that members of their party would vote for a
locked in varied amounts on every count. Before a second trial could get under way, McDougall questioned Ayres competency. McKowan, who prosecuted the rst trial, told jurors the mental testing particularly ramped up after Ayres faced a retrial. One doctor in particular, McKowan said, tailored her reports and testing to match her defense point of view. She also argued McDougall doesnt need as much assistance because he has the entire transcript of the two-month trial on which to rely, including Ayres own testimony. The idea that the defendant needs to be available to develop a strategy ... is a gross overstatement, she said. The jury began deliberating in late morning and recessed at 3 p.m. They return Friday morning. Ayres is free from custody on $750,000 bail.

said he would once again try to reach a compromise with GOP lawmakers over whether to extend a series of tax increases set to expire June 30. Brown warned, however, of dire consequences in the form of more cuts if Republicans dont yield on the tax extensions and authorize a special election to put the question to voters. If they continue to obstruct a vote, we will be forced to pursue deeper and more destructive cuts to schools and public safety a tragedy for which Republicans will bear full responsibility, the governor said in his veto message. Browns swift dismissal of the budget proposal and his ensuing nger-pointing raised serious questions about where things go from here as the clock winds down to June 30, a date that has become the new unofcial deadline for approving a plan to close Californias remaining $9.6 billion decit. Democrats criticized the governor for squashing their proposal without offering a clear path toward any resolution.
plan that includes deeper cuts than those already proposed. They called on Brown to start offering solutions instead of criticism. We are too far down the road for the governor to continue avoiding a specic proposal or specic set of proposals on what he intends to do ... if he cant gain those Republican votes, said Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento. Brown vetoed the main budget bills, but the Legislature has not yet sent him a series of trailer bills approved at the same time. Those include several measures that would likely face a legal challenge, including a $12 increase in the vehicle registration fee and a reghting surcharge on rural residents. In approving the budget package, Democrats in the Legislature exercised their newfound ability to pass a budget plan but not tax increases on a simple majority vote, a power granted by voters last year. Had lawmakers missed a June 15 constitutional deadline to send a balanced budget to the governor, they would have forfeited $261 a day in salary and $142 in payments for daily expenses under a voter initiative passed last year. The state controller said his ofce is still trying to determine whether the package approved Wednesday met the constitutional denition of a balanced budget.

CAIRO Osama bin Ladens longtime second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahri, has taken control of al-Qaida, the group declared Thursday, marking the ascendancy of a man driven by hatred of the United States who helped plan the 9/11 attacks. Al-Zawahri is considered the organizational brain of the terror group, highly skilled at planning and logistics. Analysts said he could set his sights on a spectacular attack and on building up al-Qaidas already robust presence in Yemen to establish his leadership credentials. His fanaticism and the depth of his hatred for the United States and Israel are likely to dene al-Qaidas actions under al-Zawahris tutelage. In a 2001 treatise that offered a glimpse of his violent thoughts, alZawahri set down al-Qaidas strate-

California yearbook shows photo of possible sex act

BIG BEAR LAKE Students at a California high school were asked to turn in their yearbooks after a photo was discovered inside the memory book of two students possibly engaged in a sex act, authorities said Thursday. San Bernardino County investigators were notied Tuesday and Big
Bear High School employees and detectives began collecting the yearbooks in the mountain community at Big Bear Lake, 70 miles east of Los Angeles. The background of a school dance photo shows a 17-year-old boys hand inside the clothing of a 15year-old girl in a way that suggests sexual penetration. The photo was taken at a dance
and the suspect and victim are not the focus of the photo. They are in the background and likely didnt know they were in the photo, said sheriffs spokeswoman Cynthia Bachman. It went unnoticed by the yearbook adviser. When the adviser scanned the photo, it was very easy to overlook, Bachman said.
WASHINGTON President Barack Obamas top general in Afghanistan has given him a range of options for withdrawing American forces as a July deadline for starting the drawdown approaches. And an early hint of some troops cuts began to emerge Thursday. Obama spokesman Jay Carney said Gen. David Petraeus, along with other members of the national security team, met with the president at the White House on Wednesday. Petraeus, the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan, has long been expected to give Obama multiple options for how to begin bring-
ing U.S. forces home. As I think the general has said in the past publicly, this was a question of options, plural, and not option, Carney said. White House ofcials wouldnt divulge the details of the options Obama is considering. Carney said Obama will consult further with his national security team, including Petraeus, in the coming days, and announce his decision to the public soon. While no broad decisions have been made, Pentagon leaders on Thursday said that about 800 Army National Guard troops scheduled for deployment to Afghanistan will now go to Kuwait early next month, in what will be one of the rst phases of the drawdown.

Greece wracked by political turmoil in debt crisis

By Nicholas Paphitis

Supporters of the Greek Communist party (KKE) take part in a rally against austerity measures at Omonoia square in Athens.
ATHENS, Greece Greece was wracked by political turmoil Thursday as the embattled prime minister faced down a party revolt over new austerity measures a bitter dispute that forced the EU to hint at new loans so Greece can fend off a summer default. Prime Minister George Papandreou has struggled to garner support for a new package of (euro) 28 billion ($39.5 billion) in spending cuts and tax hikes demanded by the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, which last year granted his debt-ridden nation (euro) 110 billion ($155 billion) in bailout loans. But the measures have sparked riots on the streets of Athens and
open criticism from his own Socialist lawmakers. Papandreous desperate efforts to form a coalition government with the opposition conservatives collapsed Wednesday, and the political crisis deepened Thursday when two of Papandreous lawmakers resigned. A planned Cabinet reshufe was delayed till Friday, after Papandreou chaired a seven-hour emergency meeting with Socialist lawmakers to try and ease the crisis. The party feud heightened worldwide concern that a Greek nancial collapse could trigger panic elsewhere in the 17-nation eurozone a fear that saw borrowing costs in vulnerable EU countries surge and stock markets come under pressure. We will prevail and we will hold on. We have as a country in the past successfully faced major crises. As
hard at this struggle is, we cannot run away from our fight, Papandreou told party lawmakers. We will ght and we will win, for Greece, its people and the future of the new generations. Fearing further chaos, the EUs top financial official, Olli Rehn, indicated in Brussels that Greece will likely get its next nancial lifeline in July, despite the EU nance ministers failure to agree on a new bailout package for the country. Rich EU countries like Germany and the Netherlands want private creditors to share a big part of the burden of helping Greece, while the European Central Bank fears those demands could trigger a partial default that would spark panic on financial markets and pummel banks in Greece and across Europe.
Diplomatic efforts heat up as bombs target Tripoli

Scientists ID mysterious flash in distant galaxy
LOS ANGELES Astronomers think they have solved the mystery of an extraordinary ash spied in a faraway galaxy, saying it came from a massive black hole that devoured a star after it wandered too close. The awesome energy released by the feeding frenzy was rst detected by NASAs Swift satellite on March 28 and was later conrmed by a fleet of space and ground telescopes. Some scientists initially thought the bright ash was a gamma-ray burst from a star collapsing, but aring from such an event typically lasts only a few hours.
TRIPOLI, Libya Renewed diplomatic efforts to halt Libyas civil war appeared to be gaining momentum Thursday as thunderous NATO airstrikes once again hammered Moammar Gadhas stronghold of Tripoli. Ofcials in the capital say they are open to international efforts that would bring an end to four months of ghting between forces loyal to the longtime leader and rebels who control the eastern third of the country along with pockets in the west. But they insist that Gadha will not bow to international pressure to
push him aside. We dont accept anything that may be done against him. He is a red line in our discussions, Prime Minister al-Baghdadi alMahmoudi said. Moammar Any deal that Gadha would partition the country is unacceptable, he added. Al-Mahmoudi told reporters that the Libyan government has held a number of preliminary meetings with officials based in the eastern rebel-held city of Benghazi. He
said the talks took place abroad, including in Egypt, Tunisia and Norway, but he did not provide specifics. One of Gadhas sons told an Italian newspaper that while his father would not seek exile, elections under international supervision could offer a way out. A vote could be organized within three months, he said. The son, Seif al-Islam, told Corriere della Sera that Gadhafi would step aside if he lost, which the son said was unlikely. He acknowledged, however, that my fathers regime as it developed since 1969 is dead. In Washington, U.S. State
Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland rejected the idea of elections in Libya. Its a little late for any proposals by Gadha and his circles for democratic change, she said Thursday. Its time for him to go. Gadhas son, once groomed to succeed the elder Gadhafi, has served as one of his main spokesmen during the conflict. Like Gadha himself, he has been heard from rarely in recent weeks. Russias envoy to Libya met with senior government leaders in Tripoli but apparently not Gadha himself hours after NATO warplanes pounded the area near the leaders Bab al-Aziziya compound.

Thorough review of school policies in order

t is a nightmare, a tragedy, a situation that should give the entire community pause. Five middle-school students are in custody for the attempted rape of two 12-year-old girls during a Kennedy Middle School eld trip three months ago. The students from the Redwood City school went to nearby Stulsaft Park in March when the alleged crime took place. It only recently came to light after the girls told their school counselor about it last week. A group of 20 students went to the park chaperoned by a teacher and an aide. The 10 to one ratio is in accordance with district policy. However, clearly something went terribly wrong. The judicial process is running its course and the boys are set for
Editorial
trial next month, while ofcials with the school and the Redwood City Elementary School District are awaiting an incident report before discussing possible action. Much will depend on the details of that report, including whether the staff members responsible for the safety of the students should be disciplined or dismissed. District policy requires a 10 to one ratio for outside school activities, which is higher than the classroom ratio. But that should be questioned whether it is thorough enough if something like this can happen. Some may say it is impossible to keep track of everyone at all times, but why? If nearly half of a group is missing for enough time for a sexual assault to take place, there should be a serious question as to what the adults in charge of them were doing and if more oversight is needed. Field trips are an important part of education. Students can get opportunities to wander through a tide pool or learn about the ecosystem by working at gardens in nearby parks. They can learn about city government by visiting a police station, re station or city hall. Field trips can be seen as a reward, or an opportunity for learning. There is always a potential for danger, from outsiders or students who make poor decisions.
Increasing the ratio of chaperones during activities outside of school might help. Perhaps there needs to be a formalized structure and policy related to eld trips. Once the incident report is out, school district ofcials need to take a hard look at out-of-school activities to determine their value and potential for harm. School ofcials, just like parents, cant see everything and there is always potential for harm even in the protected environment of school. But their job is to not only educate, but oversee and minimize the potential for that harm. The incident may be an anomaly, but no stone should be left unturned in evaluating the current policies that might have allowed for such a crime to take place.

State aims at charter schools

The Modesto Bee
rom the spate of anti-charter school legislation coming out of the state Assembly, you wouldnt know that California once was on the leading edge of the charter school movement. In 1992, the state became the second in the country to enact charter school legislation. Today, with 910 charter schools, California has the most of any state. Not so long ago, the state was praised by the
Other voices
Center for Education Reform for its consistent improvements to charter school law. My, how things have changed. Theres a notable increase in the volume and nastiness of anticharter legislation. The aim seems to be to slow charter school growth by making life difcult for existing and potential charter school operators. For example, Assembly Bill 401 would limit the maximum number of charter schools to 1,450, with a sunset date of January 2017. At the current average pace of 86 new charter schools a year, that cap would be reached before the sunset date. At a time when the Obama administration is urging states to get rid of arbitrary caps on charter schools, this would be a big step backward. When the Senate Education Committee hears this bill Wednesday, it should reject it,
as it did a similar bill last year. Across the nation, one of the aims of charter school law has been to offer exibility from certain state and local rules to give schools the room to experiment. Assembly Bill 925 would upend that by imposing on charter schools a host of labor laws. Then theres Assembly Bill 440, which would impose a gnarly mix of new renewal criteria on the schools. California needs some legislative champions to reclaim the states mantle as a charter school leader.

Republicans should take hold of economy
Editor, Many people seem to be perplexed by the fact that corporate prots have reached record levels. There are more millionaires and multi-millionaires than at any previous time in our history. Yet, everyone says, Why are we not seeing new jobs? For the answer, look no further than statements made by leaders of the Republican Party, There is nothing more important than making President Obama a one-term president. Corporations are much happier spending their money on campaigns to unseat the president than to create jobs. If Republicans win in 2012, businesses can then start hiring with the trillions of dollars theyve been sitting on and give credit to the Republican Party for xing the economy. project in U.S. history. If normal construction cost overruns occur (i.e. San Francisco Bay Bridge original estimate $1.1 billion but expended $6.2 billion already), this project will cost more than $300 billion if ever completed. But Gov. Jerry Brown remains silent facing this bankrupting project? In reality, Browns current budget requests $185 million for the high-speed rail project, while simultaneously laying off teachers and raising classroom size for K12, closing state parks, releasing felons to local communities, closing senior centers and raising UC/state tuition. Brown wants to silently appease unions supporting HSR that got him elected, but at Californias expense. However, until Brown publicly ends this high-speed-spendingboondoggle, California voters wont approve new taxes because Brown is pennywise but pound foolish with taxpayer dollars.

egislators should not put a higher premium on political convenience than good government. The Legislature should release members appointment calendars, and stop acting as if the conduct of state business is not a public issue. Voters have a direct interest in knowing who their legislators meet with and should have access to that information. But the Legislature hides such details behind an unjustied screen of secrecy. The Associated Press reported this week that legislators in other states quickly released copies of their meeting schedules upon request, including those in Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. Yet the California Legislature atly rejected the same request from news organizations earlier this year. Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, volunteered to release his appointment calendar, but the Senate Rules Committee barred him from doing so. Other legislators simply refused; Assemblywoman Nora Campos, DSan Jose, cited a meeting with some CEOs who would not want the publicity. Conducting public business in secret to avoid embarrassment is hardly a sound principle for responsible government, though. A Legislature with consistently dismal approval ratings should not be inviting public suspicion that legislators have something to hide. Appointment calendars give voters an insight into how their legislators operate: whom they meet with, how much time they devote to lobbyists and other details that help voters judge ofcials performance. And the meeting schedules can offer voters a clearer sense of legislators agendas and interests. Such scrutiny can help deter insider dealing, special interest favors and other questionable actions. Secrecy enables convenience and avoids embarrassment, which may be valuable to politicians. But voters will not nd that rationale very convincing. The administrators of the Senate and Assembly said in April that releasing the appointment calendars would raise concerns about privacy and security. And they said that the public already has access to the details of hearings, votes and other legislative activity through legislators websites. Such arguments utterly miss the point. The information on the legislative websites is limited in scope. Knowing whether legislators met with lobbyists before a vote is as crucial as knowing how legislators voted, surely. And legislators in other states release their meeting schedules without any harm. So do Californias statewide elected ofcials, including the governor, attorney general and treasurer. Anyone in public ofce should expect such scrutiny, anyway. If elected ofcials in California and elsewhere can provide voters with lists detailing meetings and appointments, so can Californias Legislature. The only missing ingredient is political will.

Kroger Co. rose 4.5 percent after the supermarket chains earnings rose as shoppers paid more for groceries and gas. Winnebago Industries Inc. tumbled 20 percent after the motor home company said prots sank nearly 80 percent in its last quarter. Not all the economic news was positive. A survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia found that manufacturing slowed in that region, one day after a similar report found that manufacturing was slowing in the New York area. A series of weaker economic indicators over the past two months have led some analysts to trim their expectations for the year. Investors are now starting to expect negative economic news, said Uri Landesdman, president of Platinum Partners, an investment manager in New York. That dulls the impact of each downward sign, he said.

Senate votes to repeal ethanol tax credits
WASHINGTON The Senate voted Thursday to repeal tax credits for producing ethanol, a vote that budget cutters hope will demonstrate a growing appetite in Congress to end special interest tax breaks to help reduce government borrowing. The Senate voted 73-27 to repeal the $5 billion annual subsidy, just two days after rejecting an identical measure. The tax credit provides 45 cents a gallon to oil reners who mix gasoline with ethanol, a renewable, liquid fuel additive that comes mainly from corn in the U.S. The measure will now be added to a bill renewing a federal economic development program. The prospects for the overall bill are uncertain, but Thursdays vote clearly endangers the ethanol tax credit, which would expire at the end of the year anyway, unless Congress renews it. The measure passed Thursday would end the tax credit immediately. It would also repeal a 54-cent-a-gallon tariff on imported ethanol, which restricts imports, mainly from Brazil. The best way for ethanol to survive is to stand on its own two feet, without spending something we dont have to get something were going to have anyway, said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.
SAN FRANCISCO Buyers remorse already may be setting in for some investors in Internet radio station Pandora Media Inc. After intense demand drove up the price for Pandoras initial public offering of stock, the shares lost nearly a quarter of their value their second day of trading. Thursdays harsh reversal of fortune left Pandoras stock below its IPO price of $16. The shares fell $4.16, or 24 percent, to close at $13.26. The downturn indicates the earlier euphoria about Pandora Media may have been misguided. The excitement enabled Pandora Medias IPO to sell for twice as much as
an $8 target price set two weeks ago. The misgivings are bad news for investors who paid as much as $26 on Pandoras rst day of trading. But the circumspection is encouraging for those worried about an investment bubble forming around promising Internet services that have attracted large audiences. Pandora boasts 94 million users looking for a different kind of radio station. The company, based in Oakland, Calif., streams music over high-speed Internet connections and relies on computer formulas to tailor individual songs for listeners. The approach hasnt been protable yet, one reason some analysts thought Pandora had been overvalued in its IPO.
The company has lost a total of $92 million during its 11-year history. The problem: Pandoras main source of revenue, advertising, hasnt been growing fast enough to cover the royalties for playing music. Pandoras IPO came less than a month after the stock market debut of online professional networking service LinkedIn Corp. evoked memories of the dot-com boom in the late 1990s. LinkedIns shares more than doubled on their rst day of trading to give the company a market value of $9 billion. The stock has plunged nearly 28 percent since then, although it remains well above LinkedIns IPO price of $45. LinkedIn shares shed $6.35, or 8.5 percent, Thursday to close at $68.27.
Economy gets lift: Layoffs ease,home building up

By Derek Kravitz and Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON Fewer Americans applied for unemployment benets last week and builders broke ground on more homes in May. The latest data offered some hope that the economy may be improving after hitting a slump in late spring. Unemployment benefit applications fell to a seasonally adjusted 414,000, the Labor Department said. It was the second drop in three weeks and a positive sign that layoffs are slowing. Still, applications have been above
400,000 for 10 straight weeks, evidence that the job market is weak compared to earlier this year. Home construction rose last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 560,000 units per year, the Commerce Department said. Economists say the pace of construction is far below the 1.2 million homes per year that must be built to sustain a healthy housing market. Many credit-strapped builders are struggling to compete with low-priced foreclosures. The modest improvements in two of the economys most troubled areas were enough to give Wall Street a lift after a major sell-off the previous day. The Dow
Jones industrial average gained 64 points in afternoon trading. Broader indexes also rose. Investors seemed to look past fears that Greece will be forced to default on its bonds an event that could trigger another nancial crisis and a poor readout of manufacturing conditions in the Northeast from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. Unemployment applications had fallen in February to 375,000, a level that signals sustainable job growth. They stayed below 400,000 for seven of nine weeks. But applications surged in April to 478,000 an eight-month high and they have declined slowly since then.
Citigroup says 218,000 affected by hackers

HONG KONG Hackers stole information for 360,000 Citigroup Inc. U.S. credit card accounts in a recent data breach, although the actual number of customers affected was not much higher than originally reported, the bank said Wednesday. Citi said last week that about 1 percent of its credit card customers had account information hacked online but did not say exactly how many. The actual number of customers affected was thought to be about 210,000, based on Citis 2010 annual report, which said the company had roughly 21 million North American credit card customers. The exact number of customers affected was not far off the mark. In a statement posted late Wednesday on its website, the company said 217,657 people were sent new cards along with notication letters starting June 3.
Greek default could trigger chain reaction

By David McHugh
FRANKFURT, Germany Greeces economy is small but the shock waves from a default on its debt could be amplied by links in the global nancial system to hurt stocks, banks and entire economies far from the epicenter in Athens. In Greece, banks could go bust, overwhelming the governments ability to bail them out, and lenders in France, Germany and elsewhere in Europe could
suffer serious losses. And the resulting market turmoil could strain the European Unions backstop fund, pushing European leaders to drum up yet more taxpayer nancing, with voters already annoyed at funding other peoples failed governments. The exact effects of a Greek debt implosion are hard to anticipate, in part because no one knows how big the losses would be for bond holders, who stand first in the chain of dominoes. Forced losses of 50 percent would be one thing, a voluntary
stretchout of repayment another. Beyond the immediate hit to banks, the biggest fear is that of contagion a difcult-to-predict chain reaction that could roil markets and make it harder for other indebted countries to cope with their debts, with the result being higher borrowing costs for eurozone countries. Some even say the end of that road could be one or more of the weakest euro members such as Greece leaving the shared currency, though the political will to prevent that remains strong.

Carmakers use sniffers to minimize new car smell

By Dee-Ann Durbin
DETROIT When engineers were getting Fords Transit Connect ready to go on sale in the United States last year, some of them noticed an oily, shy smell in the van. Ford staff in Turkey, where the Transit Connect is made, were stumped. They hadnt noticed the smell. But a team of U.S. engineers could smell it, and they went to work stripping down the vans interior until they found the culprit: a sealant used in the doors. Ford has now switched to a new sealant that wont offend American noses. In the highly competitive auto industry, no detail can be overlooked. That includes odors. Ford, Toyota, General Motors and others have trained teams of sniffers who evaluate smells, and reject or reformulate any unpleasant materials. Its a daunting task: Car interiors are made of dozens of different odorous materials plastics, foams, rubbers, carpet, fabric, leather. The goal is for you to not smell anything, because different people are going to like different things, said Sandra Edwards, a Ford laboratory engineer who leads a smell-test team at the automaker. If theres no scent whatsoever, everyones going to be happy. Edwards knows this firsthand. While many people like new car smell and even try to replicate it in air fresheners, she dislikes it and drives with her windows rolled down until it dissipates. Smell tests have taken on added

importance with the globalization of the car market: Different cultures have different sensitivities. Fords smell panel has international participants to ensure it gets a variety of opinions. America has such a sanitized atmosphere to it, it doesnt take much for us to pick up on those odors, Edwards said. Andrea Sterling, an engineer and smell panel leader for Toyota in the United States, said Americans are more sensitive to fishy smells than Japanese, so Japanese engineers have been trained to meet American standards for shiness. On the other hand, Japanese testers found the smell from some natural bers much more offensive than Americans did. Theres no smell that Edwards can think of that everyone likes. U.S. and European drivers think leather smells luxurious, for example, but Indian drivers dont like it. Smell tests are run whenever engineers need to make sure a certain part can be used. At Ford, ve testers are picked from a pool in Edwards department, and they smell samples that have been placed in Mason jars with water or heat, which intensify smells. Testers assign numbers to the smells, from one (no smell) to six (strong and disturbing). Negative tests can force engineers to scrap a part and start over. When Toyota was designing the new Sienna minivan, engineers planned to use a certain foam block as a dampening cushion in the cup holder. But the foam didnt pass the smell test, so materials engineers worked with design engineers and the supplier to nd an alternative. Sometimes, automakers or suppli-
ers will try to reformulate the part to change the odor. In one recent instance, Fords team determined that some rubber oor mats smelled unpleasant. The supplier tried adding cinnamon oil to mask the scent. Unfortunately, that was rejected, too. It smelled like cinnamon and rubber. It was pretty comical, Edwards said. Sterling said many people believe that automakers add something to the car to create new car smell. But it just comes from chemicals in the materials. Plasticizers, for example, are chemicals added to plastic to make it more durable and easier to mold into the dashboard and other shapes. Eventually, the chemicals evaporate and the smell goes away. Even the smell of roses comes from the chemicals that the plant releases into the air, Sterling said. Just like roses, plastics, adhesives and other materials have some chemicals in them that are released into the air and are recognized by our noses. The Ecology Center, an environmental group in Ann Arbor, Mich., has warned that exposure to the many chemicals in car interiors through touching the seats or steering wheel, for example may cause health problems. In tests, the center has found bromine, a ame retardant that it says has been linked to thyroid problems and decreased fertility; phlalates, which also have been linked to reproductive problems; and lead. Toyota has some concern that the chemicals in cars may cause nose and throat irritation, Sterling said.

Car washes going green,mobile,high tech

By Carole Feldman
The Cambridgeside Galleria offers lots of places to spend money, from stores to restaurants to a car wash the Dr. Detail full-service car wash, which operates out of the malls parking garage. Its a nice amenity that we can offer our customers, said Jennifer Rotigliano, senior marketing director for the mall, in Cambridge, Mass. Car washes while you shop. Car washes that come to your home or business. Greener car washes. Softer cloths. Better computer technology. These are among the latest developments in the long, sudsy history of the car wash. The earliest car washes were simple affairs the days of the sponge and bucket, as the International Carwash Association calls it. Then conveyers initially just a chain hooked to the front bumper pulled the car through the wash. Early conveyer operations still had people washing the cars; later, mechanized operations became the norm. Todays mobile car washes often mean a return to washing by hand. Theres no automated system, said Eric Goodman, owner of Dr. Detail, in Cambridge. Goodman started out with a mobile carwash van in Miami, then moved his business to the Boston area. Operating out of a mall, he said, was a perfect t for a year-round operation. His charges range from $14 for the exterior, rims and wheels to $159.99 for the full soup to nuts. The vast majority of the countrys 75,000 car washes are either in-bay automatic facili-

ties or self-service ones, according to Eric Wulf, executive director of the International Carwash Association. In-bay facilities are commonly found in gas stations. You pull in and your car remains stationary while the equipment moves around it, Wulf said. At selfservice facilities, you wash the car yourself using the equipment there. About 20 percent of car washes use conveyers, he said. The car moves and the equipment remains stationary. Which type of wash hand or machine cleans better? It depends who you ask, and also on a variety of factors including time, convenience and how dirty the car is. Its very common for a car wash customer to get a full service, inside, outside and underside, every third wash, Wulf said. In between, he said, they may opt just for an exterior wash. Steve Harris, owner of the Mr. Wash shops in Washington, D.C., and its suburbs, prefers the machinery because its more consistent. But Edward Rogers, who has worked in the mobile car wash business in the Atlanta area,
disagrees. A hand can get to places that a machine cant get, he said. Youre able to actually press down and wipe. Rogers said mobile car washes provide another advantage: convenience. Its time, he said. How much is your time worth? Car washes in mall parking lots allow people to multitask. Goodman said his customers often go shopping and have lunch while their car is being cleaned. Even mechanized car washes require human beings to vacuum the car or clean the inside of the windshield, among other things. Harris said about 200 people work at Mr. Washs eight facilities. Thats nearly three times as many as when the company started 52 years ago with one shop. At that time, he said, It was all labor and hardly any equipment. Over the years, car wash equipment and materials have changed to clean better and protect cars paint. One signicant development, according to Wulf, was replacing nylon bristles with soft synthetic cloths. Computer technology also has helped. One of the greatest challenges ... is there are so many different types of cars, Wulf said. Through using computers and robotics you can prole a car. The equipment can read or sense its outline and shape. The equipment then adjusts to the size of the car. There also has been a move toward making car washes more environmentally friendly. Wulf said car washes use more biodegradable soaps and chemicals. Some use a closed water system, so the water is recycled. The International Carwash Association has created a WaterSavers program to promote such steps.

Toyota to return to full NA production in September
ERLANGER, Ky. Toyota said Thursday it expects to return to full North American production in September, faster than it expected following parts shortages stemming from the March earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Toyota Motor Corp. said its North American production is currently at 80 percent on average. Eight of its 12 North American-built models returned to full production on June 6, the automaker said. The March 11 earthquake and tsunami damaged auto parts plants in northeastern Japan and cut power to others, interrupting the supply of car and truck parts to carmakers across the world. Toyota, along with Honda Motor Co., was one of the hardest hit. It cut production to about 30 percent of normal in May by idling factories for several days or reducing their hours. It warned dealers to expect shortages of some models well into the summer.

McIlroy shoots 6-under in first round of U.S. Open

Rory McIlroy
like childs play at Congressional with a 6under 65 to build the biggest 18-hole lead at the U.S. Open in 35 years. He missed only one green. He was the only player in the 156-man eld without a single bogey. And just like that, McIlroy

Blues win it in seventh

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Two days after being pummeled by San Mateo Post 82, the Redwood City American Legion Blues returned to the eld for a game against host Burlingame at Washington Park Thursday. The two squads mirrored each other for the rst six innings. Every time the Blues scored, Burlingame responded. The score was 2-2 after one inning, 3-3 after two and 4-4 after six. When Redwood City scored twice in the top of the seventh, however, Burlingame nally ran out of answers as the Blues came away with a 6-4 victory.
Were tired and beat up from that six-game tournament last weekend, said Redwood City manager Tim Goode. The deciding blow came off the bat of Jake Batchelder, who, with the bases loaded and facing an 0-2 count, chopped a Samy Phan fastball up the middle for a two-run single and a 6-4 lead. [Phan] threw me two fastballs (to start the at bat). I felt I was right on them, said Batchelder, who fouled off both pitches toward left eld. He threw another fastball and I managed to get a good swing. I was just looking to put it in play. Batchelder then took the mound in the bottom of the seventh in relief of Matt Eastman. After running into a bit of trouble Burlingames Austin Vasquez reached on an
error and J.J. DeSantos was hit by a pitch Batchelder got a strikeout to end the game to earn the save. Batchelders two-run single and 22-pitch stint made a winner out of Eastman, who battled through six innings. Eastman went six innings, allowing four runs on just ve hits. He did walk four, but struck out ve. Fantastic, Goode said in describing Eastmans outing. It shows hes going to be a quality arm in the rotation. Both Eastman and his Burlingame counterpart Vasquez got off to rough starts before settling down in the middle innings. Both pitchers allowed three runs through the rst two innings, but then held each offense scoreless
DALLAS The face of the Dallas Mavericks laughed, sang and even seemed to tear up. For Dirk Nowitzki, the only thing that could come close to being an NBA champion for the rst time was celebrating it with the fans in his adopted hometown of Dallas. An estimated crowd of 200,000 crammed downtown Thursday morning for a parade in the teams honor, with another 20,000 or so lling the arena for a rally lled with emotional moments. After waiting 31 years for the franchise to be atop the NBA, fans honored the feat in a way that many said was worth the wait. Dallas wrapped up the title in Miami on Sunday night so, other than their airport arrival, this was the rst chance for fans to show their appreciation in person. They were peaceful, too, unlike the scene in Vancouver following the end of the Stanley Cup nals on Wednesday night, and the commotion during a Cowboys championship parade in 1993. Dallas police said the biggest problem was a ght that resulted in three arrests. There also were 145 minor medical treatments, mostly because of heat that approached 90 degrees. Nine people were taken to hospitals for heat exhaustion. Nowitzki was the unquestioned star of the show, drawing the loudest cheers from start to nish usually chants of M! V! P! There were German ags in the crowd, a sign calling him Der Kaiser and cut-out letters that spelled Thank you Dirk. After the parade and before the rally, Nowitzki and his teammates went to the balcony of the arena and spoke briey to the crowd. Nowitzki capped it by leading a rousing rendition of their new favorite song, We Are The Champions. More singing came during the rally, when team owner Mark Cuban serenaded Nowitzki with Happy Birthday; he turns 33 on Sunday. Nowitzki got into it, too, pretending to conduct.

NFL fringe players find ways to get by during lockout

By Brett Martel
NEW ORLEANS With the NFL lockout putting the squeeze on both his wallet and pursuit of a pro football career, former Connecticut quarterback Tyler Lorenzen has created some of the latest culinary innovations in the Big Easy, just so he can eat at home and save a little coin. Lorenzen insists that his twist on chicken
fajitas, with cottage cheese replacing more fattening sour cream, is delicious, even if it may never quite garner the reputation of, say, the Oysters Rockefeller invented by famed French Quarter restaurant Antoines. Its better for you and it just tastes good, said the clean-cut, 6-foot-5, 245-pound Lorenzen, who is under contract with the Saints. It doesnt sound good. Everyone knocks it until they try it. Perhaps most importantly, the homemade dish ts into his shoestring budget. That kind
of thing matters to players on the margins of NFL rosters the ones who seem to be forgotten by those who describe the leagues labor strife as a standoff between millionaires and billionaires. There are a lot of players like Lorenzen who are nowhere near being millionaires. They get invited to training camps and sign futures contracts for the league minimum, which are honored only if they make the regular season active roster. Otherwise, they snap up whatever offer they get for a practice squad gig pay-
ing about $5,000 a week for however long a team keeps them around. Its tough for those guys, said Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who has helped pay for some recent practice squad players to stay in New Orleans-area hotels so they could take part in workouts he organized at Tulane. I know theres been a few veteran, established guys whove made the comment, Hey, we dont mind the lockout. We get all this free

As win first series of the Bob Melvin era

As 8, Royals 4
Thats not a good combination, especially when you throw 94 miles an hour like he does. Daric Barton drove in two runs, and Coco Crisp and Kurt Suzuki each had an RBI in support of Gio Gonzalez (6-5), who ended a personal threegame slide for his rst win
OAKLAND Jemile Weeks played through some nerves, Gio Gonzalez played through an illness and the Oakland Athletics played well enough for their rst series win under interim manager Bob Melvin. Weeks had two hits and drove in three runs, and Hideki Matsui homered to lead the Oakland Athletics to an 8-4 win over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. Matsuis solo blast gave him a combined 499 homers in Japan and the U.S. and helped Oakland win a second straight game for the rst time since a four-game streak May 26-29. The rst couple of days were shaky from nerves and I just tried to stay condent, said Weeks, hitting .344 (11 for 32) since his June 7 callup. Im just going out there and playing as hard as I can. Melky Cabrera had two hits and drove in a run for the Royals, who lost their second straight. Jeff Francoeur, Wilson Betemit and Brayan Pena each added an RBI. He was establishing his fastball and left it up in the zone and we were chasing it, said Francoeur, who also struck out four times.

since May 17. There were a couple of innings where I had to sit down and take a deep breath, Gonzalez said. My throat is a little sore and I feel a little weak but I didnt want to show any weakness. Gonzalez allowed two runs on ve hits over six innings. He walked two and struck out 10. Hes usually pretty animated and he was subdued, Melvin said. You could tell he was feeling it. Jeff Francis (3-7) gave up a season-high six runs on nine hits over 3 1-3 innings, his sec-
ond- shortest outing of the season. He walked two and did not strike out a batter in a game for the rst time. I was falling behind guys in certain situations and that doesnt do me any good, Francis said. When I did throw a good pitch they put some good swings on them. Melvin earned his first ejection in an Oakland uniform, getting tossed by third base umpire Tim Tschida in the top of the third. There was some miscommunication, Melvin said. Tim thought I was arguing with him but I was just waving my arms and yelling because I thought we werent getting calls. It was not great form getting kicked out. Weeks two-out double scored two runners in the second during the As four-run rally. Hitting is contagious in my opinion and when guys are hitting like that you think, Well, I better go up there and get a hit, Weeks said. Matsui led off the third with his sixth home run of the season and third in seven games after going homerless in his previous 23 games. Barton later added his second RBI of
the game. I dont know the time difference but Im pretty sure a lot of people in Japan will be watching, Melvin said. The Royals scored twice in the fth to make it 6-2 on Cabreras single and Francoeurs double. Weeks singled home a run in the bottom of the fth and Suzuki doubled home a run in the seventh. Betemit and Pena each doubled in a run for the Royals in the eighth. Notes: Francis has not won consecutive road starts since 2007. He has a 6.93 ERA away from Kansas City. ... Barton tied Sean Casey for most games to start a season without a home run by a rst baseman at 63. ... Melvin plans to give Matsui a start in each of the series played in National League parks during interleague play. ... Cabrera has a hit in 12 of his past 14 games. ... Francoeur went 1 for 5 and is now 2 for 20 with seven strikeouts on the road trip. ...

to a 2-1 lead. But Pat Burrells RBI sacrice y in the ninth tied it as J.J. Putz, struggling lately after an outstanding start to the season, blew his third save in 21 opportunities. The Diamondbacks snapped San Franciscos ve-game winning streak against them. Chris Young homered for Arizona for the second night in a row and David Hernandez (3-2) pitched a scoreless 10th to get the victory. The Diamondbacks pulled within 1 1/2
PHOENIX Justin Upton homered on the rst pitch he saw in the 10th inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks avoided a sweep at the hands of San Francisco with a 3-2 victory over the Giants on Thursday night. Uptons opposite-field home run off Santiago Casilla (0-1) was his rst career walk-off homer and the rst home run given up by Casilla this season. Ian Kennedy gave up only an unearned run on four hits and struck out 10 with one walk over eight innings to stake the Diamondbacks
games of rst-place San Francisco in the NL West. Upton also had a single and double. He had two winning singles in his career, but never a home run until Thursday night. Putz, charged with two runs in Arizonas 52 loss on Wednesday night, has been scored upon in four of his last seven appearances after setting a franchise record by starting the season with 16 straight saves. San Francisco started the ninth with Pablo Sandovals single past second baseman Kelly Johnson, then Aubrey Huff bounced one over the head of rst baseman Juan Miranda to put runners at rst and third with no outs. Putz
struck out Cody Ross but Burrell lofted one to left to bring in the tying run before Brandon Crawford ew out to left to end the inning. After Hernandez retired the side for Arizona, Casilla, who had allowed just two runs in 8 23 innings of work this season, got leadoff batter Stephen Drew to ground out. Upton, though, wasted no time, bringing the night to an end with his 12th home run of the season. Upton, who also doubled in the eighth, led off the fourth with a single, then on a 1-2 pitch, Young pulled one down the left-eld line into the Arizona bullpen, his 14th home run to give the Diamondbacks a 2-0 lead. It was the rst time Arizona was ahead in the series.

Padres to retire Hoffmans No. 51 on Aug. 21
SAN DIEGO Well, Hells Bells, look whos getting his number retired by the Padres. Trevor Hoffman, baseballs all-time leader with 601 saves, found out Thursday that San Diego will retire his No. 51 in a ceremony Aug. 21 after a game against the Florida Marlins. Hoffman retired in January after playing 18 big league seasons. Hes a special assistant to team president Tom Garnkel. Garnkel told Hoffman over breakfast Thursday that the team planned to retire his number. I wasnt prepared for that, Hoffman said. Its a team game and to have an individual celebration is not something Im comfortable with. You never really like all the light on you. Im just Trevor Hoffman looking forward to celebrating with everybody. Hoffman was picked by the Marlins in the 1992 expansion draft and made his big league debut in 1993. After getting two saves with Florida, he was acquired by the Padres in a ve-player trade on June 24, 1993, as part of San Diegos re sale. That trade sent Gary Shefeld to the Marlins. Hoffmans home save opportunities were always lively, with AC/DCs Hells Bells blaring from the sound system the instant he started jogging in from the bullpen.

Hansen makes return at Santa Clara

By Antonio Gonzalez
SANTA CLARA Brendan Hansen saw his world record smashed at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and his desire to race equally shattered. The only thing more swift and stunning than Hansens showing was his exit. While never ofcially retiring from swimming, the former world-record holder in the 100meter and 200-meter breaststroke walked away without a whimper. I was done. I left the sport of swimming in 2008 with no desire whatsoever to come back, said Hansen, now 29. Thats how fried I think I was. The little swimming Hansen did came far away from the spotlight. The American stayed in shape by doing triathlons. He often swam at the University of Texas and exer-
Brendan Hansen
cised in a pool at least four times a week. But it wasnt until December that he got the urge to compete and began to seriously train again. Turned out, he was still pret-
ty fast. Hansen will get his rst major test Friday when he returns to the sport at the Santa Clara International Grand Prix, where stars Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte also are in competition. With most preparing for next months world championships in Shanghai, Hansen is using the meet as a measuring stick with an eye on the 2012 London games. Im not coming back to swim
just Santa Clara, Hansen said. Once a dominant breaststroker, Hansen went down as one of the major disappointments of the American team in 2008. He put on a brave face after he shockingly failed to qualify for the 200 breaststroke at the U.S. trials despite being the events former record-holder and bronze medalist in Athens. He nished fourth, and only the top two made the team. He followed that up by losing to Japans Kosuke Kitajima for the second straight games in the 100meter breaststroke, his signature event. Hansens only rst-place nish came in the 400-meter medley relay, the race that gave Phelps his record eighth gold that summer. Friend and teammate Lochte doesnt remember the disappointment Hansen felt that summer as much as the sportsmanship he showed in defeat, congratulating
winners, thanking the host nation and cheering on teammates. Lochte gured then that Hansen would try to redeem himself one day. Just the way he held it together spoke volumes about him, Lochte said. Somebody told me in December that he was trying to come back. I was like, Why not? The renewed determination to compete again wasnt the only thing that persuaded Hansen to come back. Swimmings governing body, FINA, outlawed the bodysuits in December that helped rewrite the record books in 2008 and 2009. That ban, combined with slimming down from 200 to 185 pounds, gives him confidence he can compete against younger swimmers. I stayed as far away from all the times and stuff because I dont think they really count, Hansen said of those who broke records wearing
the high-tech bodysuits. The fact that now I think were back to where we were, my technique and all the things Ive really done, Ive beneted by not wearing the suit. I think that me not wearing the jammer now has helped me kind of come back versus me coming back to a bunch of guys in bodysuits. Hansens goals this weekend are much more modest than most of his competitors. While Phelps and Lochte will renew their rivalry and grab most of the weekends headlines, Hansen just wants to nd that competitive edge again by swimming in a race that counts. He wont reveal the times he is aiming for now or in the future, only that he believes his best swimming days are yet to come. I have times that I wanted to do faster before I retired, Hansen said. And I still think I can do those times.
Riots overshadow Canucks fans Game 7 heartbreak

By Greg Beacham
VANCOUVER, British Columbia The plywood sheets lling in for shattered windows on the historic Hudsons Bay Co. department store Thursday were turned into a canvas for expressing a citys embarrassment. On a spectacularly sunny day after a dreary, disturbing night in Vancouver, hundreds inscribed messages and drew pictures on the wood. It was a form of group therapy for a city recovering from extensive rioting after the Canucks blowout loss in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup nals. Some messages were hockey-centric: So Proud of Our Boys. Real Fans Dont Riot. Well Get Em Next Year. Others were pure apology: On behalf of my team and my city, Im sorry. Overturned cars, raging bonres, hospitalized fans and hooliganism are likely to be the lingering memory of the Canucks agonizing failure on the precipice of their rst Stanley Cup title. And thats a shame. Vancouvers citywide pain after the Canucks 4-0
loss to the Boston Bruins already was heartbreaking enough without the ugliness that followed. A year after Vancouver hosted a successful Winter Olympics, this gorgeous, cosmopolitan city on the Pacic coast was ever so close to a championship it desired perhaps even more than those gold medals won by the Canadian hockey team on the Canucks rink in February 2010. Vancouver was eager to see the Stanley Cup in Stanley Park, the green-and-blue oasis just off downtown. Both are named after Lord Frederick Stanley, the former Governor General of Canada who donated the iconic trophy in 1892 and whose statue in Vancouvers park wore a Canucks jersey and held a replica Cup and a hockey stick during the playoff run. Not counting the 1915 Vancouver Millionaires, whose names are inscribed inside the bowl for winning the Stanley Cup before the NHL existed, a Vancouver team has never really won anything much bigger than the B.C. Lions ve CFL Grey Cups. Boston ended its 39-year Stanley Cup drought on Vancouvers ice. The Canucks are at 41 years without

a championship after their Game 7 op. I think it would probably mean even more than the Olympics, said Dan Hamhuis, the Vancouver defenseman and British Columbia native who missed the series nal six games with an injury. I dont know how you compare the two, but the Olympics are a two-week tournament. The Canucks are part of peoples everyday lives in B.C. and Vancouver. Were proud to represent this part of the world. Vancouver was the NHLs best regular season team by far, racking up a franchise-record 54 victories and 117 points while winning the Presidents Trophy. The Canucks led the league in goals scored (262), fewest goals allowed (185) and power-play ef-
ciency (24.3 percent), and were second in penalty-killing success (85.6 percent). Vancouver has the NHLs past two scoring champions, supremely smooth Swedes Henrik and Daniel Sedin, who also are likely to win consecutive Hart trophies as the leagues MVPs next week. The Canucks also have the NHLs winningest goalie, Olympic hero Roberto Luongo, behind the NHLs deepest group of defensemen. How could the Canucks lose? In spectacular fashion, as it turned out. After Vancouver reached its rst nals in 17 years, the Canucks beat Boston in the rst two games, spurring talk about parade routes and parties. Vancouver then lost four of the next ve games in blowouts, becoming just the third team since 1966 to blow a 20 lead in the nals. Game 7 was barely competitive, with Boston goalie Tim Thomas easily turning away 37 mostly punchless shots while the condent Bruins simply outworked the nervous Canucks. So while Boston planned yet another celebration, Vancouver quietly suffered and a few hundred criminals went to work.

amazing ride and you guys have been with me every step of the way. This is for our fans! Another highly charged moment came when it was Cubans turn to speak. He couldnt. The rambunctious billionaire determined to do things his way seemed awed by the moment, surely thinking about his own journey from a fan who used to buy scalped tickets to buying the club in January 2000. When Cooperstein joked about this being a long way from Reunion Arena, Cuban just shook his head, lips pinched. In came Carlisle to the rescue. He grabbed the microphone and discussed something he said to the players a few days before, about the difference between success and fulllment. Mark has had obvious success, Carlisle said. The thing you have to understand is, to him, it doesnt matter the cost, its to be able to bring this moment to you. So, thanks. They hugged as fans stood and cheered. There were chants of Thank you Mark, and Cuban wiped his eyes several times. Once he felt composed, the guy who loves being the center of attention motioned for quiet. He had a story to tell. The day I bought the team, but it had not yet been announced, I went out with some friends to have an adult beverage, Cuban invited him to live there free, but Lorenzen eventually insisted on contributing about $500 a month. And while Lorenzen lives in a city renowned for ne dining, where chefs like Emeril Lagasse, John Besh and Susan Spicer enjoy celebrity status, and where a popular drive-time radio talk show is largely about where people ate last night and what they had, Lorenzen does his own grocery shopping and cooking. Weve turned into quite the cooks this offseason, Lorenzen said of himself and Daniel. We use the George Foreman (grill) on a regular basis. These days, Lorenzens idea of dining out is Taco Tuesdays at a popular bar in New Orleans warehouse district, or the 75-cent hamburger slider special at a restaurant Besh opened in the National World War II Museum. Even then, he avoids soft drinks and alcohol, usually settling for ice water. Occasionally, hell let teammates talk him into joining them for a more fancy meal, as long as they pledge not to settle the bill by credit card roulette. When he does dine out, he usually eats a little something before leaving home. People think Im crazy and theyre like, Were going to dinner, why are you eating? Lorenzen said. And I say, If I eat now, I wont be as hungry, so I can just get an entree single to Michael York to load the bases and bring Batchelder to the plate. [Phan] showed all fastballs (to Batchelder), Goode said. He was throwing hard and Batch battled. It appeared the game was going to be a high-scoring affair when the teams combined for six runs in the rst two innings. Redwood City started the scoring in the top of the rst. Following a yout to start the game, Anderson walked and scored on Yorks triple to the fence in left eld. York scored on Eastmans sacrice y to left for a 2-0 Redwood City. Burlingame wasted little time in knotting the score, responding with two runs of its own in the bottom of the frame. Merrick Belding

But this day had two other emotional crescendos for Nowitzki. The rst came when coach Rick Carlisle said, Youre looking at the best basketball team on the planet. Its also very clear we have in our presence the greatest basketball player on the planet. The overhead jumbo board showed a close-up shot of Nowitzki wiping his eyes. When it was Nowitzkis turn to speak, his teammates and Cuban were among those standing and chanting MVP. Nowitzki bit his bottom lip and looked down. He was too overcome with emotion to answer the rst question from co-emcee Chuck Cooperstein. Its been an amazing ride, an amazing journey, Nowitzki said. Its been a lot of ups and a lot of downs. This is the top of the iceberg. It feels absolutely amazing. He relived his journey from a 19-year-old draftee with a bowl cut and a bad earring just a bad look, he said with a smile to the greatest player in team history, a former league MVP and the newly minted nals MVP.

said. I go into this bar and I see this tall, German, goofy-looking guy with his bowl cut, earring and I know Im going to be his boss the very next day. He has no idea. So I walk up to him and say, Yo. Let me buy you a beer. He just looks at me, shakes his head and walks away. The next day, were at (the practice facility). Im supposed to get introduced to the and Ill be good. As for shopping, Lorenzen wont be looking for tailored suits or fancy Swiss watches on Canal Street any time soon. I just dont buy stuff that often, he said. I dont own any jewelry. I buy most of my clothes at outlet stores because they have double-extra-large and its cheap. Lorenzen stressed that he doesnt want anyone to feel sorry for him, and adds that hes more fortunate than many players who are also in the stage of their careers in which theyre still trying to prove they belong. He has a lot of support in his hometown town of Fremont, Iowa, near where his familys small soybean genetics business is headquartered. When he was cut by the Saints after 2010 training camp and spent nearly three months out of football, his family found him a job in Minneapolis, where he could stay with his sister and work at one of the companys two plants. He did whatever the plant manager needed, from scheduling, to bagging soybeans for shipment to Japan, to meeting with clients. After work, he would go straight to the gym to resume his training, which is one thing on which Lorenzen gladly spends money. He considers it an investment in his future, so he doesnt hesitate for pay for a membership at a local yoga studio, for example, that he visits led off with a walk and stole second. He scored on Andrew Lims single to left, going to second on the throw home. Lim who reached base in all four of his at bats with three singles and a walk scored when Nick Waldsmith hit into a elders choice. Redwood City quickly regained the lead in the top of the second. Kevin Wilkins walked and stole second. With one out, Austin Marcus singled and Mejia walked to load the bases. Jack Larson drove in Wilkins with a sacrice y to center for a 3-2 Redwood City lead. Again, Burlingame responded in the bottom of the inning. With one out, Matt Fosse reached on an error and ended up scoring on Lims two-out single to left. team. I walk in the door and I walk up and I just look at him and he just shakes his head. Thats pretty much been our relationship for 13 years. The video board cut to Nowitzki several times during the anecdote and he couldnt stop smiling and laughing. There were all sorts of funny moments during the rally. regularly with Daniel and a few other teammates. He also has saved most of his NFL earnings from the past two seasons, which included around $100,000 in 2009, when he spent the entire season on New Orleans practice squad, beneting from a few extra weeks in the postseason as the club won its rst Super Bowl. And when he decided last fall to leave the family business and focus solely on the NFL again, his father understood. My dads always preached to me that your window of opportunity in sports is so small, and it will come and go, and as long as you know that you took it for everything its worth and just had as much fun as you can and smelled the grass, then it was worth every bit, said Lorenzen, who doesnt want to burden his parents by asking for money. Right now, this is not ideal for me at all. I nally feel that I can play tight end. Im big enough, and the best thing for me would be getting work with the coaches, day in and day out, and getting better and better. But that isnt the situation, so youve just got to deal with it, Lorenzen continued, reecting on his decision join his teammates at Tulane. Im going to learn from the guys that are around, soak as much up as I can and when the opportunity arises that we play again, Im going to be ready. After the middle-inning offensive lull, Redwood City retook the lead in the top of the sixth. Batchelder led off with a double to the left-center eld gap. He went to third on Wilkins sacrice bunt and scored on a Matt Martella sacrice y. One nal time, Burlingame answered. With one out, DeSantos walked and Drew Ramirez reached on an ineld hit. Both stole a base on a double steal, Fosse was walked. Following a yout, Lim drew a bases-loaded walk on a 32 pitch to tie the game at four and set up Batchelders heroics. Weve been doing well (this summer), Batchelder said. Were out here to have a good time and get better.

time. Well, thats because youre an established player whos gotten some big contracts. But guys like Tyler Lorenzen are ghting their butt off just to make the team and havent really made any money up to this point, so its not like theyve got a big nest egg. Lorenzen has been an off-and-on practice squad player since 2009 whose chances of making it in the NFL ride on his ability to convert from college quarterback to pro tight end. The 25-year-olds NFL earnings last season, when he spent about a half-dozen weeks on the Saints practice squad, added up to about $30,000. There are more (NFL players) that are in my position that really arent millionaires, Lorenzen said. They dont have tons of money and have to be smart and budget just like everyone else and know that this is a job and a way to make money, but not a guarantee, just an opportunity. Instead of taking Brees up on a subsidized hotel room, Lorenzen decided to stay in a bedroom in back-up quarterback Chase Daniels downtown condominium. Initially, Daniel

The games easy when you hit it straight and make every putt, Mickelson said, referring to McIlroy. Its a wonderful game. No course is too tough when you hit like that. He played terric. It was fun to watch although I didnt see much of it. McIlroy was walking down the center of most fairways, picking out the 100-yard and 150-yard yardage plates as his targets and hitting most of them. Mickelson was all over the map, hitting only ve fairways. He hacked out of grass up his knees on one hole, and on another hit driver from under the trees to get back into play. He wound up with a 74, a stunning score from where he was playing. Mickelson wasnt alone in his dis-

Youve got to just be thinking about this week, and how you can best prepare, and how you can get yourself around the golf course. He took a route unlike any other player on an overcast day with a few light showers just as he nished up his round. McIlroy was three shots clear of former PGA champion Y.E. Yang and Charl Schwartzel, the South African who captured the Masters two months ago at McIlroys expense.

Its a long way to go, but its nice to get yourself in contention, Schwartzel said. If you start falling too far behind on a tough golf course, things can get a little bit too far in front of you. You need to stay in there with a chance. British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen was at 69, joining a small group that included Sergio Garcia and Ryan Palmer, the lone American among the nine players who broke 70. Defending champion Graeme McDowell had a 70. Phil Mickelson played alongside McIlroy, and it must have looked familiar.

appointment. The top three players in the world Luke Donald, Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer combined to go 10-over par. Donald struggled with his accuracy and couldnt cope with the thick rough and shot 74 despite his birdiebirdie start. Kaymer also had a 74, while Westwood staggered to a 75, his worst opening round at the U.S. Open in 10 years. Its not a very good score because I think the course is there for the taking, said Westwood, who played in the morning. Obviously, its a tough test, but I thought the golf course was set up great today. If you played well ... Im quite surprised that no one has gone out and shot 66, to be honest.

Five superhero movies you dont want to see SEE PAGE 24
Top Gunwith magical jewelry

Magical would be the last word youd use to describeGreen Lantern
By Christy Lemire
Remember when big, summer blockbusters were fun when they were a light, clever and entertaining escape? That notion apparently eluded the makers of Green Lantern, a joyless amalgamation of expository dialogue and special effects that arent especially special. Even Ryan Reynolds, with
his sparkling charisma and chiseled body, cant make this thing interesting. Then again, he doesnt have much to work with. Hes essentially called upon to make some ippant comments to reect how shallow and self-absorbed his character is, then once he gets his superhero makeover, he flies around in a skintight green suit and zaps stuff with his ring. The script, credited to four
screenwriters and inspired by the DC Comics series, does little to esh him out beyond some clichid daddy issues and a fear of death that prompts him to run from commitment. Reynolds Hal Jordan is a brash, cocky test pilot; and Green Lantern plays like Top Gun with magical jewelry. But magical would be the last word youd use to describe the look of the lm,
which is available in 2-D and (naturally) 3-D. As usual, the third dimension is needless and merely makes the trippy, sci-fi environs look murky; you never get the sensation that you could reach out and touch Reynolds abs, which are on display early and often. All the CGI at director Martin Campbells disposal cant give this movie life, which just goes to show how crucial

THE SPIRITED FOLK ARTS OF MEXICO. Mexican folk art has a long and rich history. For over 3,000 years, beginning around 1500 B.C., the Olmec, Maya, Teotihuacn, Toltec and Aztec ruled over the lands and peoples of what is now Mexico. Beginning in 1521, Mexico became a Spanish colony. The Spanish signicantly inuenced Mexican culture during their 300-year reign, including many of the folk crafts produced and the technologies employed to make them. In the decades following the Mexican Revolution (19101920), the government and many individuals took a new interest in the arts and culture indigenous to Mexico. Intellectuals and artists such as Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Miguel Covarrubias and Nelson Rockefeller began collecting and preserving Mexican folk art. The SFO Museum currently displays a sampling of this vibrant heritage with The Spirited Folk Arts of Mexico, featuring a variety of Mexican folk art from the collections of the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology. From the burnished blackware of Oaxaca to the famous Talavera tin-glazed earthenware made in the city of Puebla, the ceramics shown are those found throughout Mexico in many different styles and forms. Mexican pottery was traditionally handmade using coils or molds. Mineral glazes were introduced by the Spanish, as was the potters wheel. In addition to ceramics, carved gourds are a unique form of Mexican folk art made from the fruit of the calabash, which grows in the coastal areas of Guerrero and Oaxaca. Another pre-colonial craft, lacquerware displays a ne decorative glossy coating, which is applied to a host of

Five worst superhero movies

By Christy Lemire
Catwoman (2004):
So few lms in the genre are about female do-gooders its usually the job of the women in these movies to look pretty in peril and wait around for the men in tights to save them which is why it was such a bummer that this was a laughable disaster. Halle Berry is indeed a sight to behold in her Catwoman get-up, and youve gotta love the fact that she had enough of a sense of humor to show up at the Razzie Award ceremony to pick up her worst-actress prize. (It also won for worst picture, worst director and worst screenplay.) But Berrys jaw-dropping good looks alone cant save this, and since all the scenes in which she kicks butt and leaps about with feline agility are sped-up, you dont get to ogle
LOS ANGELES For all the enduring superhero movies that have been made over the years The Dark Knight, the original Christopher Reeve Superman, Tobey Maguires rst two turns as Spider-Man there are just as many that dont exactly live up to their own mythology or the expectations of their legions of followers. This weeks Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds as the reluctant new member of an intergalactic peacekeeping corps, would fall squarely into the latter category. Its just a muddled, joyless bore. But it gives us a great chance to compile an ignominious list of superhero movies that are less than super:
her for long anyway. This is cinema for the attention span-challenged, but the most egregious sin of all for an action movie: Its mind-numbingly boring.
Daredevil (2003):
This was a rough year for Ben Afeck. Besides this slick and formulaic adaptation of the Marvel Comic, in which Afeck played the blind lawyer-crimefighter Matt Murdock, he also starred in the notorious turkey Gigli and the John Woo thriller Paycheck, all of which earned him Razzies for worst actor of the year. To be fair, he was an easy target at this point in his career, when he was half of the tabloid sensation Bennifer with then-fiancee and Gigli co-star Jennifer Lopez. Still, Daredevil stands on its own two feet for its
failures. The character is awed and tormented, not at all the good guy hed seem to be on the surface, which might have been intriguing if Afeck hadnt played him so stify. Daredevil also has the dubious distinction of spinning off 2005s Elektra, starring the current Mrs. Afeck, Jennifer Garner. Both have bounced back nicely from their superhero period.
Batman & Robin (1997):

Nipples in the bat suit. This is pretty much all you need to know, and its completely reective of Joel Schumachers campy style. Even George Clooney, who was only a few years away from approaching the height of his power, could not salvage this ashy, soulless mess. The steam has clearly run out in this, the fourth lm in the franchise
(and were a long way at the point from Christopher Nolans masterful re-envisioning of The Caped Crusader). Arnold Schwarzenegger cheeses it up big time (even by his standards) as the villainous Mr. Freeze, and Uma Thurman never generates much heat as the toxic Poison Ivy. Full of glib pop-culture references and gimmicky gadgets, this version worked hard to be silly and fun, and never revealed an understanding of Batmans true nature.
Hulk (2003):
This would be Ang Lees Hulk starring Eric Bana, not to be confused with Louis Leterriers 2008 The Incredible Hulk starring Edward Norton, which was actually

Jamie Oliver offers a kid-friendly salad

are key. Chopped salads are really easy to make and there are so many different options you can come up with. Its a great shortcut to just chop everything up on a board, mixing as you go, then throw the dressing on top, and bring it to the table. I like that its quite dramatic and makes the salad more fun, Oliver said in an e-mail interview. Another great thing Ive found with chopped salads is that when the girls are being fussy about vegetables, weve found they will eat them if we chop them up in a salad and make them a pleasure to eat, said Oliver, a father of four young children. Kids are very sensitive to texture, and a lot of the time its the texture rather than the avor thats putting them off, he said. So try different things cooked, raw, chopped, whole they might surprise you. Oliver has become something of a pro at getting unwilling people to embrace unlikely foods. His Emmy award-winding ABC show, Jamie Olivers Food Revolution, (airs Fridays) is in its second season of trying to reform the ways American schools prepare lunch. The possibilities with salads are endless, so youll never get bored, he said. Just go for a mixture of soft and crunchy textures, and vary what you put in them to suit the seasons and whats available. And remember, as well as all the gorgeous veg on offer, you can
ant to get the kids to embrace salad? Jamie Oliver says variety, creativity and plenty of chopping
even use things like matchsticked apples or thin slices of pear. And while plenty of kids like salad only for the dressing, Oliver urges a light touch. I dont like it when salads have too much dressing. Dressings are important as they make salads more fun to eat, but you only need to add a little bit at a time, then gently toss the salad with your ngertips until all the leaves are coated, he said. Remember, you can always add more dressing but you cant take it away. Dont forget to dry the leaves before you add the dressing otherwise it wont stick, and always dress a salad at the last minute so the leaves dont wilt. For APs 20 Salads of Summer series, Oliver offered one of his childrens favorite chopped salads, a blend of fennel, romaine, endive and smoked salmon. Its a delicious, fresh dish that is best prepared directly on the cutting board an act that in itself adds to the theater and appeal of the meal.

1 head romaine lettuce 2 white Belgian endives 8 ounces smoked salmon 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons) Sea salt and ground black pepper Small bunch fresh dill, chopped On a large cutting board, chop the carrot, fennel (including the greens) and radishes. Bring it all to the center of the board and continue chopping and mixing together. Add the lettuce and endive leaves and continue chopping. When everything is well chopped, assemble it in a mound at the center of the board. Slice the salmon into small pieces and mix into the salad. Make a well in the middle and drizzle in the olive oil, lemon juice and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Mix up so everything gets dressed, sprinkle with some chopped dill, and serve straight from the board or in a bowl.

Martha Hall Foose: Salad of familiar and unique

By J.M. Hirsch
For Southern cooking doyenne Martha Hall Foose, a memorable salad is a contrast of the common and the unexpected. Great salads are a balance of familiar and unique, she said in an e-mail interview. I like a combination of textures and an interesting blend of avors. I love the classics for summer get togethers. But I always enjoy salad innovations. Fooses appreciation for salads with unexpected elements dates back to childhood. I used to go shopping with my mother at a department store that had a little luncheon place, she said. The fruit salad with a scoop of orange sherbet on top. That was an eye-opener!
I thought that was what you got to eat if you grew up to be a lady. For the APs 20 Salads of Summer series, Foose offered up this potato salad-like blend of hominy, cheddar and peppers. This salad came from a bad case of potato salad burnout mid-summer, she explained. I wanted something that could ll in for the creamy side and have enough spice and summer freshness to add variety. So hominy, that Southern pantry staple, lled in for potatoes and fresh tomatoes, bell peppers and spring onions brought in the farmers market.
Servings: 8 14 1/2-ounce can golden hominy, rinsed and drained 14 1/2-ounce can white hominy, rinsed and drained 2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
4 scallions, white and green parts, chopped 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon cumin seeds 1 teaspoon salt In a large bowl, combine the golden hominy, white hominy, tomatoes, cheese, mayonnaise, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, scallions, cilantro, chili powder, cumin seeds and salt. Toss well to combine. Chill for at least 1 hour.

The San Diego State University psychology professor has made a career out of nding data that she says shows that college students and others their age are more selfcentered narcissistic even than past generations. Now shes turned up data showing that they also feel more superior about themselves than their elders did when they were young. There are some advantages and some disLantern Corps to the reluctant Hal. Hal doesnt even take his day job all that seriously, where the gorgeous Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), his ex-ing, is now his boss. (Lively, by the way, is asked to do little more than look pretty in peril in a series of naughty-secretary get-ups. Her performance in The Town proved shes got much more in her.) Also touched by this alien presence, albeit in a negative way, is Hals longtime nemesis: the nerdy and bitter Hector (Peter Sarsgaard), whose senator father (Tim Robbins) views him as a disappointment. Sarsgaard always makes unexpected choices in his performances, and the weird, dark places he takes the character provide Green Lantern with its few intriguing moments. Still, Hal must undergo the obligatory trainMunich, and co-star Jennifer Connelly went on to do excellent work in lms including House of Sand and Fog. But man, at the time, this was just a self-serious drag: somber and introspective, with none of the zippy escape youd like to see in a summer blockbuster based on a comic book. Youd want to see Bruce Banner when hes angry, just because it would be a refreshing change from watching him brood. advantages to self-esteem, so having some degree of condence is often a good thing, says Twenge. But as she sees it, theres a growing disconnect between self-perception and reality. Its not just condence. Its overcondence. And that, she says, can pose problems, in relationships and the workplace though others argue that its not so easy to generalize. ing montage to learn how to harness his newfound power. The ring allows him to create whatever he can envision in his mind, which would theoretically provide a great opportunity to inject some imagination into this otherwise dull lm. But the stuff Hal constructs is pretty lame, which only highlights how idiotic the mythology of Green Lantern truly is. He better get his act together, though. Even though Hals the only human the corps has ever had, hes also the only one who can stop a dastardly force in the universe known as the Parallax, to the dismay of the corps suspicious leader, Sinestro (Mark Strong). Hes right, this doesnt make any sense but then again, the Parallax looks like a giant, evil piece of calamari, and that doesnt make much sense, either.

Cut calories by cutting out the middle

By Jim Romanoff
Want to lighten up your hors doeuvres? Cut out the middle. Mini cocktail popovers are an elegant and satisfying choice for a healthy party food. Even though theyre satisfyingly eggy and have the irresistible carbs of a baked good, theyre hollow in the center so they pack fewer calories. They also are amazingly simple to prepare. For these cocktail popover variations, a lighter version of the typical popover batter is used. The recipe starts with skim milk and cuts out some of the egg yolks to trim the fat even further. And while a prudent amount of butter is used to add that unmistakable avor, half of the standard amount is replaced with healthier extra-virgin olive oil. For the lightest version, you could offer plain popovers or simply add fresh (or dried) herbs such as chives, tarragon or a blend to the batter. Another way to boost the avor of the batter is to add a few tablespoons of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and ground black pepper.
COCKTAIL POPOVERS THREE WAYS

Start to nish: 40 minutes (10 minutes active) Servings: 30 For the batter: 1 cup skim milk 2 large eggs 1 large egg white 1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 cup all-purpose our 1/2 teaspoon salt For olive cocktail popovers: 24 Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped For herbed cheese cocktail popovers: 1/3 cup light spreadable garlic and herb cheese (such as Boursin or Alouette) For herbed pepper popovers: 2 tablespoons chopped Peppadew or jalapeno peppers (jalapenos will be hotter) 2 tablespoons nely chopped scallions Heat the oven to 425 F. Set 2 mini mufn tins on a baking sheet. Coat the tins with cooking spray, then place them (on the baking sheet) into the oven to heat. Meanwhile, to make the batter, in a blender or food processor, combine milk, eggs, egg white, melted butter, olive oil, our and salt. Blend for 15 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the container, then blend for another 30 seconds. To make olive cocktail popovers, remove the mufn tins from the oven and place 1 olive in each cup. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of batter on top of each olive. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until deep golden brown and crisp. Serve immediately. To make herbed cheese cocktail popovers, remove the mufn tins from the oven and spoon a heaping tablespoon of batter into each cup. Bake for 25 to 30
minutes, or until deep golden brown and crisp. Remove the popovers from the pans and set on a rack to cool. To make the herbed pepper popovers, mix the peppers and scallions into the batter. Remove the mufn tins from the oven and spoon a heaping tablespoon of batter into each cup. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until deep golden brown and crisp. Remove the popovers from the pans and set on a rack to cool. When ready to serve, poke a hole in the bottom of each popover. Put cheese in a small sturdy plastic bag. Gather the bag and squeeze the cheese into one corner. With scissors, snip off the tip of the bag and squeeze 1 teaspoon of cheese into each popover. Serve immediately.

Drivers are trained in crowd control and, because SamTrans serves many school children a day, they are also trained in dealing with them. Avoiding conict, however, is a priority. You will not, however, ever see a driver leave his or her seat while behind the wheel unless it is the end of the route. It is against the rules. SamTrans has invested in a bus simulator that its drivers get extra training on throughout the year. The simulator puts drivers in emergency situations in real time so that they will be better prepared out on the streets. SamTrans also has a leadership program and supervisor academy to offer its employees the opportunity to grow with the public agency. Currently, SamTrans is ready to install about $8 million worth of new fareboxes on the buses, another job that is done inhouse. The new fareboxes will give change receipts and recognize Clipper cards. This is not your fathers old Greyhound, SamTrans spokesman Mark Simon said. This is a modern system. National Dump the Pump day is in its sixth year and is coordinated nationally by the American Public Transportation Association. The latest APTA Transit Savings Report shows that a two-person household that downsizes to one car can save more than $10,000 per year on average. It is a selling point transit agencies across the country are using to encourage people to get out of their cars, avoid trafc, save money and keep the environment clean.

Silfvast acknowledged the board publicly said it would work with the community. Voting for a change which so many opposed, he argued, would be irresponsible. Russ Sullivan, a parent of four who also lives in the affected Central, adamantly opposed the change threatening a lawsuit against the district should the boundaries be changed. Sullivan saw the move as a solution to problems created by short-term, short-sighted solutions implemented over previous years throughout the district like creating morning and afternoon kindergarten classes at Cipriani Elementary School. Such a move allows for more kindergarten students but not housing for the children as the move through the higher grades. Others favored boundary changes because they viewed a lottery as another short-sighted option. At the same meeting, the board approved the rules for grandfathering which will allow all parents of kindergarten students who registered as of April 2011 to be enrolled in the current school. New students in grades rst through fth will be enrolled as space permits. The board previously requested setting enrollment caps at each school, supported building at Nesbit and Fox elementary schools, which have additional space, and creating sister school relationships. downtown with Off the Grid being nearby. It will also be more family friendly than the Wine Walk, which was canceled this year, and will bring just as many people to downtown, Edwards said.

SAMTRANS
SamTrans transports 45,000 riders daily but would like to grow that number by getting people out of their cars and onto public transportation. Riding the bus saves the commuter thousands of dollars a year, said Chuck Harvey, SamTrans chief operations ofcer. But riding the bus should not just be about saving money, it should also be about reducing harmful pollution, Harvey said. We think we are a part of that solution, he said. SamTrans is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year and is also honoring its employees who have been with the agency since its inception in 1976 when Greyhound service was consolidated with 11 smaller city transit agencies in San Mateo County. Since 1976, SamTrans has grown into a regional transportation agency partnering with San Francisco and Santa Clara county transit agencies to operate Caltrain. In total, SamTrans, Caltrain and shuttles transport more than 100,000 commuters a day. The transit agencys top priority, however, is keeping the buses running on its 48 routes. The buses, typically costing $400,000 each, are pampered and cared for daily by a group of mechanics and utility workers hidden away at the maintenance facilities. The North Base has a huge bus wash, each bus is washed daily, and stores about 80,000 gallons of diesel fuel at a time. Although buses do not typically get great gas mileage, maximizing fuel ef-
ciency is a priority at SamTrans as fuel costs have steadily climbed in recent years. Todays modern buses only get about 4.25 miles per gallon but that is a great improvement over the buses from 20 years ago that only got about 2 mpg, Harvey said. SamTrans newest eet of buses were purchased in 2009 and have a typical life span of 12 years or 500,000 miles. Eighty buses a day operate out of the North Base, which was dedicated in 1988. Keeping them running efciently, however, takes constant upkeep and intensive training of its mechanics. Most of the mechanics SamTrans employs were not hired off the street, though, they were trained from within through years of workshops and classes. Every bus goes through a 17-point inspection every week to keep the buses reliable, said Elliot Rivas, bus maintenance supervisor. While most SamTrans buses on the street now are newer models, some buses purchased in 1993 still serve the transit agency, years after their typical life spans. Keeping the buses in tip-top shape saves the agency and taxpayers money in the long term. Practically every mechanic the agency employs started as a utility worker rst with SamTrans before studying to become a master mechanic. All the class time and training is done in-house at the operations and maintenance facilities. The class time and training can be spread out over about six years, said Jeff Johnson, manager of operations training for SamTrans. Bus drivers also go through an extensive 10-week training program and it is not just about navigating local streets, it is also about dealing with people, who sometimes can be unruly. and cost, Chair Alesha Breite said. Given the boards interest in no boundaries, Breite specied the committee, made up of representatives from all school, seemed to favor a distance-based system. A new district administrator will need to be hired to make the new protocols work. The position would cost an estimated $130,000 to $150,000. Nellie Hungerford, assistant superintendent of business services and operations, explained the district will be dipping into reserves as of 2012. A new position could be afforded depending on how much they wanted to dip into the one-time funds, she said. Superintendent Emerita Orta-Camilleri added such a change was possible if given the time. Matthews noted adding a new person could give the district the staff to begin work on a specialized program such as immersion, arts-based or technologyfocused. During the boundary conversation many requested such a program. Previously, the focus was whether students should be moved by shifting boundaries, which changes a familys home school assignment or a lottery system. Changing boundaries would shift students west. For example, students at Fox, Cipriani, Central and Nesbit elementary schools would be shifted. Possible boundary changes sparked strong opinions from residents. Prior to the boards conversation, many residents pleaded for lottery changes rather than a permanent change. Rob Silfvast, who lives in the areas told the Daily Journal in May it was a goal to get the event as close to downtown San Mateo as possible, where 140 restaurants currently operate. Dworetzky hopes Off the Grid will be good for San Mateos brick-and-mortar restaurants. Three years ago, the DSMA started branding and marketing downtown San Mateo as the destination for foodies on the Peninsula. We spent almost all of our marketing budget promoting our restaurants to the regions consumers. Obviously, the folks organizing Off The Grid from San Francisco were paying attention, Dworetzky said in the email. DSMA Executive Director Rob Edwards thinks Monday business will now pick up for bars and restaurants in
DISTRICT
district to discuss possible solutions before deciding how to spend voterapproved bond funds. The situation requires moving students. Moving students could come in a variety of forms from shifting boundaries to creating a lottery or a third, and the approved option, of getting rid of boundaries. Under such a system which will go into effect for the 2012-13 school year no one would be assigned a school. Everyone would register with the district and be placed as space permits using distance to help make decisions. Dubbed the Cathy Wright plan, since the trustee made the original suggestion, the no boundaries option was approved 4-0-1 with Trustee Chuck Velschow recusing himself. This is a leap of faith, said Trustee Brian Matthews. Trustees agreed there is uncertainty, however, the proposal gives the district a lot of exibility in creating equally sized schools throughout the district. Since the change doesnt go into effect until next fall, staff has time to research and write detailed protocols. One factor making the board question the decision was the Alternatives Committee, which vetted the idea Tuesday. A majority opposed the idea due to the additional administrative work
GRID
each with different specialties. Off the Grids organizers have had their eye on bringing the event to the Peninsula for some time and have been working with San Mateo city ofcials for a couple of months now to get through the permit process. In just under a year, Off the Grid has expanded its weekly event at Fort Mason to now hold them at different spots in San Francisco for a few hours each week, including United Nations Plaza, the Mission and the Upper Haight.
