S.F. CONSIDERING WAYS TO CURB PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES

A 2-year-old boy died and three others,
including a reghter, were injured in a two-
alarm house re in San Bruno Friday morn-
ing, according to re ofcials.
Fireghters responded to a call from the
100 block of Lake Drive at 8:45 a.m. The
cause of the two-story house re is still under
investigation but is believed to have started in
a shrine in the hallway, possibly with a reli-
gious candle, said Deputy Chief Dave
Downing.
Its believed that multiple families live in
the residence. Those who were injured are
thought to be a couple in their 50s or 60s and
their 2-year-old grandchild, said a neighbor,
who gave her name only as Meg.
Smoke was visible before re trucks arrived
on the scene and three construction workers in
a neighboring building helped people get out
of the house, Meg said.
There were three young men who went
inside the house, she said. I think that real-
ly made a signicant difference.
Downing agreed. The men used a ladder to
help a person escape from an upstairs win-
dow. Downstairs, the men reported that the
re spread making it impossible to enter the
house, Downing said. The men went around
the house in an effort to help people in the
back rooms but the re was too hot.
A man suffered burns from the re. Two
individuals were trapped in a back, upstairs
bedroom a woman in her 50s or 60s and a
2-year-old boy. Both were transported to the
hospital. The woman was revived but the boy

fered minor to moderate injuries. They were
also taken to the hospital and it was deter-
mined that Lei was under the inuence of

High School District were among the rst
10,000 high school students in California to
achieve prociency in multiple languages and

Name the Numbers has a simple objective
use math to reach a certain number.
Ten-year-olds Adrian and Janet looked at the
cards laid out on a desk. The number six was
showing Janets objective. Then ve other
face cards of different numbers were showing.
The goal was to creatively gure out a math
problem using the numbers on those ve cards
that would result in the target number, six.
While a simple solution was available, sub-
tracting 10 from 16, it wasnt a viable option
for Janet who wanted to use the most cards
possible.
Both students will be fth grade students in
the fall but are getting a jump on the academ-
ics that the middle school years require
through the Peninsula Bridge Program at St.
Matthews Episcopal Day School.
The Peninsula Bridge Program offers a ve-
week, tuition-free academic enrichment pro-
gram for students from lower income areas
who show academic potential. Students can be
with the program for four years, beginning
with the summer before their fth grade year.
Over the years, students will gain access to
accelerated math and language arts exercises
while taking part in art and science enrich-
ment activities. This year was the fourth St.
Matthews hosted students.
On Thursday, a tour was held for parents
and anyone interested in learning more about
the program.
Development Director Sherri Shaner
explained the group works with academically
motivated students, who will be attending fth
through eighth grade in the fall, and are from
resource stretched circumstances.
Lack of funds often means less art and sci-
ence experiments available to students. In
addition, students often lose retention of infor-
mation over summer without practice. Low-
income families normally lose more since
they often cannot afford the cost of summer

Part of Delaware Street to be
closed to non-local traffic for weeks
Pacific Gas and Electric will be installing
automated valves at Delaware Street and
Birch Avenue resulting in the closure of por-
tions of the street for four to six weeks.
Valves are installed at various points along
pipelines and can be closed to stop the flow
of natural gas for maintenance or during
emergencies. With automated valves, PG&E
can quickly cut the flow of gas and improve
emergency response times. Work will take
place from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. starting July 18
and continuing for four to six weeks.
While work is going on, no through traffic
will be allowed on Delaware Street from
10th through 16th avenues for the duration
of the project. Full closure allows the project
to be done as efficiently and as safely as pos-
sible.
A detour will be available on South
Claremont Street.
Anyone with questions regarding the clo-
sure may call the San Mateo Department of
Public Works at 522-7300.
Westborough Park to re-open
Summer is the prime time for using local
parks and South San Franciscos
Westborough Park will re-open Saturday
with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
Occupying 11 acres, Westborough Park,
2380 Galaxy Drive, was originally dedicated
in 1970. The park has been very well used by
the community over the past 40 years, but
was in dire need of a makeover. Park-in-lieu
fees generated by recent residential develop-
ment in the area, and a donation from the
Westborough Swimming Pool Fundraising
Committee, funded a renovation that
includes a spacious new group picnic pavil-
ion; two new age-appropriate playgrounds;
restoration of the basketball court; resurfac-
ing of two tennis courts; rehabilitation of
park rest rooms; new walkway and plaza
areas; removal of declining trees and the
planting of 66 new trees; new irrigation sys-
tem; and new landscape.
The upper portion of the park is a baseball
field, which is outside the scope of this proj-
ect, however, a non-functioning set of rest
rooms at the field were also renovated. The
park renovations were designed to reduce
water consumption by using more efficient
irrigation equipment, limited areas of turf
and low-water landscape.
From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. a ribbon-cutting
celebration will take place at the park. The
event, which is open to the public, will fea-
ture comments from the mayor and Parks
and Recreation Commission, a ribbon cut-
ting, free hot dogs prepared on the gas grills
in the new picnic shelter and activities for
children.
For more information about how to rent
the recreation building or picnic area, or for
information about the Adopt-a-Park pro-
gram, contact the Parks and Recreation
Department 829-3800.
Two arrested in daytime
Burlingame burglary attempt
Efforts by four men attempting to break
into a Burlingame home were thwarted
Friday morning when a resident called
police resulting in the arrest of two,
Burlingame Police said.
A resident on the 2100 block of Easton
Drive noticed a group of suspicious men in a
neighbors backyard around 10:55 a.m.
Friday morning, according to a press release
from the Burlingame Police Department.
Not recognizing the men, she called the
police.
Officers responding found four subjects
fleeing on foot. Two suspects Broderick
D. Pryor or San Francisco and Black A.
Green of South San Francisco, both 18
were arrested and charged with attempted
burglary and conspiracy in regards to the
Easton incident, according to police. Both
were also charged with burglary and posses-
sion of stolen property in connection with a
residential burglary that happened about 30
minutes earlier on the 100 block of
Burlingame Avenue.
The men were found with a stolen car
taken two days earlier from a residential bur-
glary in Fairfield, according to police.
Burlingame detectives are working with
other agencies to determine if the suspects
are connected to a rash of daytime residen-
tial robberies throughout the county.
Despite an extensive search with the help
of other agencies the other two suspects
were not found.

SACRAMENTO Nearly two-thirds of
California voters cast their vote by mail in the
June election, a record for the state, but fewer
than a third of registered voters turned out,
Secretary of State Debra Bowen reported
Friday.
Bowens ofce ofcially certied the results
of the primary election, which was the rst
time Californians tested two new voter-
approved changes: a top-two primary system
and new congressional and legislative bound-
aries drawn for the rst time by an independ-
ent commission.
The new primary system led to a crowded
ballot in many races; U.S. Sen. Dianne
Feinstein faced 24 challengers. She faces
Republican Elizabeth Emken in November.
Bowen reported that only 31 percent of the
states registered voters, or about 5.3 million
people, turned out. The gure is low, but still
slightly higher than the 28 percent record low
turnout in June 2008.
Sierra, Alpine and Amador counties had the
highest turnout as percentage of registered
voters, while San Bernardino, Orange and Los
Angeles counties had the lowest turnout.
Bowens office also reports that voters
rejected a proposed $1-a-pack tax on ciga-
rettes to pay for cancer research by a slim mar-
gin of 24,076 votes. That measure,
Proposition 29, remained too-close-to call for
weeks, but campaign supporters conceded
defeat on June 22.

SAN FRANCISCO Scientists studying
the carcass of a 47-foot n whale that washed
up on a beach in the Point Reyes National
Seashore last month found the creatures spine
and ribs severed, likely from the propeller of
one of the huge cargo ships that sail those
waters.
There have been many victims of such acci-
dents in recent years as migrating blue, n and
humpback whales have been lured close to
Californias shore by plentiful krill, the
shrimp-like organisms they eat. All three
species are endangered.
Now, after a two-year effort spurred by the
uptick in accidents, federal maritime ofcials
have approved a plan to protect whales in and
around San Francisco Bay. It includes rerout-
ing shipping trafc and establishing better
ways to track whale locations.
The changes crafted by the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
shipping industry representatives, whale
researchers and the Coast Guard will likely
take effect next year, after a nal review by the
United Nations International Maritime
Organization.
In 2010 it really struck home when a
female blue whale carrying a calf was found
dead on the beach, said Maria Brown,
NOAAs superintendent for the Gulf of the
Farallones National Marine Sanctuary. And
blue whales numbers are so small to lose a
female and a new whale coming into the pop-
ulation really sent home the message that we
needed to look at the whale strike issue.
The shipping industry worked with federal
authorities to establish new cargo lanes in one
of the worlds busiest ports.
Nobody wants to hit a whale, just like any-
body driving down the highway doesnt want
to hit anything either, said John Berge, vice
president of the Pacic Merchant Shipping
Association, who worked on the plan. We
want to do whatever can be done to mitigate
the risk, but do it based on good science and
good management strategies as opposed to
saying, Lets just try this and see if it
works.

S.F. considering ways to

SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco,
the city that regulated Happy Meal toys
and banned plastic grocery bags, has a
new target in its health-conscious, eco-
friendly crosshairs: plastic water bottles.
City ofcials are considering an ordi-
nance that would require owners of new
and renovated buildings with water foun-
tains to install special bottle-lling taps.
The laws designed to encourage thirsty
people to rell containers instead of
reaching for another bottle of Evian or
Aquana.
This is the appropriate next step to
make it easier for San Franciscans to get
out of the bad habit of using environ-
mentally wasteful plastic water bottles
and into the good habit of using reusable
water containers, said Board of
Supervisors President David Chiu, who
introduced the legislation in June.

Solar storm barreling toward Earth this weekend
LOS ANGELES The space weather forecast for Earth
looks a bit stormy this weekend, but scientists said not to worry.
A solar storm was due to arrive Saturday morning and last
through Sunday, slamming into Earths magnetic field.
Scientists said it will be a minor event and they have notied
power grid operators, airlines and other potentially affected par-
ties.
This isnt the mother of all anything, said forecaster Joe
Kunches at the governments Space Weather Prediction Center
in Boulder, Colo. We dont see any ill effects to any systems.
The storm began Thursday when the sun unleashed a massive
are that hurled a cloud of highly charged particles racing
toward Earth at 3 million mph.
Panel calls for annual PTSD screening
WASHINGTON The Institute of Medicine recommended
Friday that soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan under-
go annual screening for post-traumatic stress disorder and that
federal agencies conduct more research to determine how well
the various treatments for PTSD are working.
Of the 2.6 million service members deployed to Iraq and
Afghanistan, its estimated that 13 percent to 20 percent have
symptoms of PTSD.
Federal agencies have increasingly dedicated more resources
to screen and treat soldiers, but considerable gaps remain,
according to the Institute of Medicine, an independent group of
experts that advises the federal government on medical issues.
Dogs, dead people get

OLYMPIA, Wash. The voter registration form arrived in
the mail last month with some key information already lled in:

A group called the Voter Participation Center has touted the
distribution of some 5 million registration forms in recent
weeks, targeting Democratic-leaning voting blocs such as
unmarried women, blacks, Latinos and young adults.
But residents and election administrators around the country
also have reported a series of bizarre and questionable mailings
addressed to animals, dead people, noncitizens and people
already registered to vote.

LACONIA, N.H. His credibility
under attack, Republican presidential
hopeful Mitt Romney insisted on Friday
that he had no role whatsoever in the
management of a private equity rm
after early 1999, and demanded that
President Barack Obama apologize for
campaign aides who persist in alleging
otherwise.
This is simply beneath the dignity of
the presidency of the United States,
Romney said in an interview on ABC,
one of several he granted to network and
cable stations in hopes of extinguishing
the controversy.
Under pressure from Democrats and
even some Republicans to release tax
returns going back several years,
Romney indicated he wouldnt do so.
You can never satisfy the opposition
research team of the Obama organiza-
tion, he told CBS.
Romney said after he left Bain
Capital he retained ownership until
we were able to negotiate a departure
from the company he had founded. I
had no role whatsoever in the manage-
ment of Bain Capital after February of
1999, he said, adding that officials at
the company and independent fact-
checkers had said the same thing.
He also said, I was an owner, and
being a shareholder doesnt mean youre
running the business. He said he could-
nt recall attending any Bain manage-
ment meetings after he moved to Salt
Lake City to oversee the Olympic
Games.
The precise role Romney played at the
rm between 1999 and 2001 is impor-
tant not only because critics have raised
questions about his truthfulness, but also
because Bain was sending jobs overseas
during that period.
That, in turn, goes to the core issue of
the race for the White House in dreary
economic times, Romneys claim that as
a former businessman, he has the ability
to create jobs and nally pull the country
out of a downturn that has lingered
throughout Obamas term. The Obama
campaign has criticized Romney as run-
ning a rm that pioneered job outsourc-
ing.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Threats,
denunciations and verbal potshots
between the National Rie Association
and the leaders of the Legislature were
common in the decades that Democrats
ran the show in the Tennessee Capitol.
Turns out Republicans are just as good at
running afoul of the powerful gun rights
group.
GOP leaders in Nashville infuriated
the NRA this year by refusing to go
along with a bill to prevent businesses
from banning guns on their property, and
now the group is using its deep pockets
to try to unseat one of them. Elsewhere,
NRA-backed measures also ran into
Republican roadblocks in Georgia,
Alabama, Idaho and North Carolina this
year.
The NRA notes recent successes in
the legislatures of Virginia, Ohio and
South Carolina, describing the recent
setbacks as temporary.
First of all the legislative process is
rarely quick and is rarely pretty, chief
NRA lobbyist Chris W. Cox said in a
phone interview. We certainly take the
long view and were committed to bring
this not only to Tennessee but across the
country.
The NRA is backing up its words with
campaign cash in Tennessee, spending
$75,000 in an effort to defeat the No. 3
Republican in the state House, Rep.
Debra Maggart of Hendersonville.

OPINION 9
Letter to the editor
By Michle M. Bissada
A
lthough divorce is common in our
society, there are misconceptions
about the processes and issues peo-
ple face when confronted with splitting up.
This guest perspective is meant to address
just a few of the issues and is not intended to
be a full list. I urge people to consult a quali-
ed family law attorney regarding their situa-
tion.
The process takes a minimum of six
months from when second party is served
with the petition ling. Contrary to popular
belief, there is no common law marriage in
California.
Process options
A dissolution can be handled in different
ways, from sitting around the kitchen table
with your spouse to expensive litigation.
Some alternatives to court litigation include
alternate dispute resolution options of media-
tion, collaborative law, private settlement
judges or all-purpose judges. These can be
used to reach a negotiated agreement, avoid-
ing the need to appear in court. Using one of
these options gives the freedom to creatively
design an agreement, instead of accepting the
decision a courthouse judge makes for you.
Property
California is a no-fault state, so neither
party will be awarded more than half the
community assets solely because the other
party acted unethically or socially inappro-
priate. There needs to be a nancial reason
for an unequal division of assets, such as a
reimbursement claim or evidence of separate
property.
The date of separation will affect property
division because it stops the accrual of com-
munity property. Many factors go into the
determination of the date of separation,
including how the parties present themselves
in public, whether they still reside together,
share nances and other factors.
You have to provide credit card and bank
statements. Financial institutions only keep
customer records for seven years, so keep
your account statements, life insurance poli-
cies, tax returns and deeds to property, cars,
etc. To avoid accounting nightmares, get sep-
arate bank accounts and credit cards as of the
date of separation and dis-
close nancial documents,
changes in assets and busi-
ness investments often.
Take a nancial inventory
of the marital estate,
including each partys sep-
arate assets at the date of
separation. If you have
separate property, it needs
to be kept separate or completely traced.
Stock options can be partially community
property even though you continue employ-
ment after the date of separation. Options are
calculated on a formula based on the vesting
schedule, granting date, time of the marriage
up to the date of separation and other possi-
ble factors.
A spouse who remains in the family resi-
dence after the date of separation is generally
responsible for the mortgage, property taxes,
homeowners insurance and normal mainte-
nance until the residence is bought out by
one spouse or sold. If one spouse will buy
out a family residence from the other spouse,
courts will not reduce the value of a family
residence by the costs of sale or capital gains
tax.
Custody
Barring extenuating circumstances, courts
favor an equal timeshare between parents,
and will not micromanage parenting within
acceptable ranges. Make sure both parents
stay involved with kids, monitoring how they
handle the dissolution. Therapy for all chil-
dren during the dissolution process is impor-
tant, because kids need a neutral adult to talk
to about their own issues and dont wish to
burden their parents.
Be cautious regarding your social network-
ing sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) because
everything you post can be used against you
in a dissolution or legal proceeding.
Support
Temporary spousal support is intended to
maintain the current situation until the divi-
sion of assets in the dissolution and is based
on a computer program. Longer term support
is determined after the assets have been
divided to include investment income from
those assets and consider long-term factors
like both parties earning capacity, age and
health.
A court will use a several-year average for
income that uctuates. Once a marriage
reaches 10 years in length, the marriage is
considered one of long duration, and a
court will not terminate jurisdiction over
spousal support. Stay up to date on support
payments because unpaid support carries
interest at the legal rate of 10 percent per
year. There is no relief from support until
you le a motion for a modication, even if
you lose your job. Keep track of job search
efforts because it is your burden to show rea-
sonable efforts to nd employment, even if
one has been out of the workforce during the
marriage.
Conclusion
Be smart about how you end up at the end
of the process. You want to look back and be
proud of how you conducted yourself, espe-
cially to your kids. Keep your dissolution
private as much as you think people need
to know what my ex did it ends up
reecting poorly on you. Remember that
everything you say and write can get back to
the judge, so be respectful.

Did I say that?
Editor,
Please let me respond to Jorg Aadalhs
accusation in God bless what America
published in the July 7-8 weekend edition of
the Daily Journal, that I dened the sick, the
poor and the most vulnerable in society as
takers. He goes on to say that I think the
young born with diseases and defects due to
industrial pollution are responsible for their
own fate.
Where in my letter did I say any of this
Mr. Aadahl? I do not mind people having a
different point of view than I do, and I feel
that they should have the right to vigorously
defend those views. I just think they should
do it with a little integrity and honesty. Mr.
Aadahl has tied me to words that I clearly
did not say and which can easily be veried
by simply reading my previous letter (God
bless America published in the June 14 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal).
So Mr. Aadahl, I have a simple yes or no
question for you: did I say those things you
that attributed to me or not? If I did not,
which is clearly the case, do you think you
might owe me both a retraction and an apolo-
gy for misquoting me? Or is this how you
attack folks who disagree with your point of
view.

State gets that
sinking feeling
The Press Democrat
W
ith or without the Big One,
the Golden State is slipping
into the Pacific.
A new report from the National
Academy of Sciences says sea level along
the coast south of Cape Mendocino will
rise as much as a foot over the next 20
years, two feet by 2050 and up to 5 1/2
feet by the end of the century.
As a result, almost a half-million peo-
ple living in low-lying areas will be at
increased risk of flooding from high tides
and winter storms. So will the San
Francisco and Oakland airports and other
waterfront buildings.
Climate change is a major factor; melt-
ing ice and expanding oceans are
encroaching on coastal areas around the
globe at an accelerating rate. Theres an
added complication for California. Even
as sea level is rising, the report says, the
state is sinking along much of its 1,100-
mile coastline, a result of natural geologi-
cal forces.
Yet another natural geological force
could swiftly remake the coast. An earth-
quake of magnitude 8 or larger could
cause sea level to rise suddenly by an
additional three feet, according to the
report, which was commissioned by
California, Oregon and Washington.
The findings are an early warning.
Theyre a summons to prepare, not an
invitation to rekindle the climate change
debate or, worse, to stick our heads in the
(eroding) sand.
Its pointless to keep debating whether
human activities have caused or can
reverse climate change. Its time to
address the results. As one of the reports
authors told the Los Angeles Times, Sea
level rise isnt a political question, its a
scientific reality.
The scientific reality wont manifest
itself as a single big disaster. Instead, as
sea level continues to rise, big waves,
storm surges and high tides will pose
larger and larger threats to low-lying
areas.
As an example of what could become
common, the report cites the El Niqo
winter of 1983, when storms destroyed 33
oceanfront homes and caused $200 mil-
lion damage along Californias coast.
Tidal gauges show that sea level
increased an average of seven inches
around the world over the past century,
with the pace quickening since the mid-
1990s. The impacts can be seen in com-
munities including Gleason Beach, north
of Bodega Bay, where homes have been
abandoned or demolished because of ris-
ing seas and eroding bluffs.
The National Academy of Sciences
report says it will cost about $14 billion
to build levees and sea walls to protect
Bay Area airports and oceanfront commu-
nities.
State and local planners must begin
studying the conclusions and making
choices about where to fortify the coast-
line and where to allow natural processes
to work.
Presented with a similar warning, North
Carolina has chosen denial.
State legislators in Raleigh are debating
a bill that would effectively outlaw sea-
level projections based on climate change
data, allowing only forecasts based on
past patterns. Lets hope California takes
a more thoughtful approach to the rising
tide of science.

NEW YORK JPMorgan Chase blew
away a cloud of concern hanging over the
banking industry Friday and set off a
rally in stocks. Relieved investors drove
up bank stocks, ended a six-day losing
streak for the market and sent the Dow
Jones industrial average up 204 points,
the best day this month.
JPMorgan jumped 6 percent, the
biggest gain in the Dow by far. The coun-
trys largest bank earned $5 billion in the
most recent quarter, easily beating Wall
Streets forecasts, even as it took a deep-
er loss from a complex trade that went
wrong. The results brightened the out-
look for other major banks. If JPMorgan
could sustain such a hard hit and still post
stronger earnings, the thinking went,
maybe others could, too.
Today is all about bank uncertainty
getting resolved, said Doug Cote, chief
market strategist at ING Investment
Management. To me, thats what is real-
ly driving the market.
JPMorgan revealed that the loss from a
derivative trade it rst disclosed in May
had grown to $5.8 billion, nearly triple
the original estimate. Its stock shot up
$2.03 to $36.07.
The banks underwriting business also
fared better than many expected. That
rubbed off on the investment banks
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley,
driving both up more than 3 percent.
Goldman jumped $3.41 to $97.43.
Morgan Stanley rose 50 cents to $14.05.
The Dow gained 203.82 points to close
at 12,777.09.
Wells Fargo, the other major bank
reporting results Friday, said a strong
pickup in lending lifted its net income 18
percent. Wells Fargo has managed to
avoid problems plaguing other big banks
and is now the countrys largest mortgage
lender. The banks stock gained 3 per-
cent, or $1.06, to $33.91.
Todd Salamone, director of research at
Schaeffers Investment Research, said
the rally in bank stocks shows that
investors had expected the worst. When
theyre too gloomy on an industry, the
slightest bit of good news can jolt their
stocks up.
The bar for earnings is set extremely
low, and a lot of people have been betting
against banks he said. The lower the
bar, the easier it is for positive surprises.
The rally swept across the stock mar-
ket. Five stocks rose for every one that
fell on the New York Stock Exchange,
and all 10 industry groups within the
S&P 500 rose, led by nancial rms.

NEW YORK With new public
stock offerings for guitar maker Fender
and travel booking website Kayak on
deck next week, there are signs demand
is starting to grow for IPOs after a ve-
week freeze triggered by a steep decline
in nancial markets and exacerbated by
Facebooks rocky May 18 debut.
Five companies are scheduled to go
public next week alone, including
Fender, Kayak and Palo Alto Networks,
a maker of computer network security
products. After Facebook, just four deals
made it to market by the end of June,
marking the longest stretch without an
initial public offering of stock since
August-October 2011. Stocks sank then
in the wake of the U.S. debt limit show-
down and a deepening European nan-
cial crisis.
The resurgence now is a welcome
indication that dealmakers are regaining
condence about raising money through
IPOs.
But the situation is far from rosy.
There are 68 companies expected to
raise $14.4 billion through IPOs later
this year, according to research rm
Dealogic, Last year at this time there
were almost double that amount of com-
panies 135, looking to raise $23.6 bil-
lion.
If the market stays healthy the
overall market I think we will see a
lot of IPO activity in the second half,
said Nick Einhorn, an analyst with
Renaissance Capital. But another plunge
in stock markets could make it difcult
for companies to raise money by selling
shares.
The types of companies that try to
raise money will also affect the IPO
market. Mutual funds and the other big
investors who tend to buy IPO shares are
less likely now to be attracted to tech-
nology companies like social networks
and games maker Zynga Inc. Theyve
shifted to business technology compa-
nies such as Palo Alto Networks, which
they consider more stable.
Stocks of several of these kinds of
companies have performed well since
their IPOs. ServiceNow Inc., a provider
of so-called cloud technology services
to companies, went public in late June,
pricing at $18, above its expected range
of $15 to $17. The stock has risen 34
percent from its debut. Jive Software
Inc., which makes internal social net-
works for corporations, started trading in
December and has climbed 56 percent
from its IPO price.
Well-known consumer brands also
help drum up excitement for IPOs
among retail investors, the regular
people who buy and sell stocks. There
are high hopes for Fender Musical
Instruments Corp., the company behind
the famous Fender Stratocaster electric
guitars. Its looking to raise up to $160.5
million in its IPO next week.
After Facebook, IPO market starts to thaw

NEW YORK JPMorgan Chase
said Friday that its traders may have
tried to conceal the losses from a soured
bet that has embarrassed the bank and
cost it almost $6 billion far more than
its CEO rst suggested.
The bank said an internal investigation
had uncovered evidence that led execu-
tives to question the integrity of the
values, or marks, that traders assigned to
their trades.
JPMorgan also said that it planned to
revoke two years worth of pay from
some of the senior managers involved in
the bad bet, and that it had closed the
division of the bank responsible for the
mistake.
This has shaken our company to the
core, CEO Jamie Dimon said.
The bank said the loss, which Dimon
estimated at $2 billion when he dis-
closed it in May, had grown to $5.8 bil-
lion, and could grow larger than $7 bil-
lion if financial markets deteriorate
severely.
Dimon said the worst appeared to be
behind the bank, and investors seemed to
agree: They sent JPMorgan stock up 6
percent, making it the best performer in
the Dow Jones industrial average.
Daniel Alpert, a founding managing
partner with the New York investment
bank Westwood Capital Partners LLC,
said the bank and Dimon appeared to
have learned from the crisis.
He said Dimon now realizes how com-
plex and difcult to manage the bank is,
will be more diligent in the future and
probably wont be the crusader he has
been against some proposed nancial
regulation.
Did it cost shareholders a few bucks?
Yup, he said. But it was a non-horrible
way of learning the lesson, in the sense
that the entire institution didnt burn
down, the lessons been taught and
Dimon seems ready to take it.
For his part, Dimon concluded: We
are not proud of this moment, but we are
proud of our company.
Mortgage applications
boost Wells Fargo results
Wells Fargo reported higher earnings,
higher revenue, and a record number of
mortgage applications on Friday.
Its just that nobody was paying all that
much attention.
The spotlight instead was on JPMorgan
Chase, where executives elded ques-
tions about a giant $5.8 billion trading
loss, which surprised investors when it
was announced in May and has only
become more troublesome as estimates
about the scope of the problem have
grown. Then again, thats the way Wells
Fargo usually works: Getting ahead by
staying under the radar.
The comparison was not lost on Wells
Fargos chief nancial ofcer, Tim Sloan.
Its not that we dont make mistakes,
he said in an interview with the
Associated Press. But we dont take on a
risk and then decide that the way we get
comfortable with it is by hedging it. We
just dont do it in the rst place.
The bank, based in San Francisco far
from its New York peers, was considered
a large regional bank until the end of
2008, when it stepped onto the national
scene by scooping up Wachovia, a major
bank in the South that was teetering on
the brink of collapse.

SAN FRANCISCO Madison
Bumgarner pitched seven innings of two-hit
ball, Buster Posey homered and the San
Francisco Giants beat the Houston Astros 5-1
on Friday night.
Bumgarner (11-5) retired 13 straight until
Chris Snyders solo shot in the seventh inning
in another dominating start for the blossoming
lefty. He struck out ve and walked two.
Posey hit his team-leading 11th home run of
the season in the rst off Wandy Rodriguez,
who allowed seven hits and two walks in seven
innings. Rodriguez (7-7) also had four strike-
outs to begin a 10-game
road trip for the last-place
Astros.
Santiago Casilla struck
out the only two batters he
faced for his 22nd save in
26 chances.
Pablo Sandoval put the
punctuation on a fog-lled
night under the lights in
San Franciscos waterfront
ballpark by following up
his bases-clearing triple in the All-Star game
with a triple in the eighth. Sandoval, listed at a
generous 240 pounds, tagged up on Angel
Pagans y to left and barreled into Snyder at
the plate to jar the ball loose and score San
Franciscos nal run.
The All-Star break seemed to rejuvenate the
Giants.
After losing ve of six to end the seasons
rst half, San Francisco started four players
Posey, Matt Cain, Pablo Sandoval and MVP
Melky Cabrera in the Mid-Summer
Classic, where they helped the National
League roll past the AL 8-0 and brought the
momentum back to the Bay Area.
Posey showed some immediate pop when he
drove a ball over the wall in center eld, and
off the roof of a concession stand to give the
Giants a 2-0 lead in the rst. A ballpark score-
board estimated the shot at 448 feet, landing in
a place and with the kind of acceleration
rarely seen at AT&T Park since home run king
Barry Bonds retired.
Angel Pagan, Brandon Belt and Joaquin
Arias each singled to open the second to put
San Francisco ahead 4-0. Before Bumgarner
even returned to the mound, he had all the sup-
ported he needed.
The left-hander brought his season total to
104 strikeouts reaching the century mark
by getting Brian Bixler swinging for the sec-
ond out in the rst and never faced any seri-
ous opposition from a depleted Astros lineup.

College football no longer takes extended
breaks from the game. The season may end in
December or January but preparing for the next
game never ends. Teams now practice in the spring
and summer, leaving just a few weeks of down
time before preparation for the 2012 season begins
in earnest in early August.
The College of San Mateo program is no excep-
tion. Except for a couple weeks off here and there,
the Bulldogs have been preparing for the next sea-
son since the conclusion of last season.
Tim Tulloch, CSM defensive coordinator and
co-head coach, said almost immediately following
the end of the 2011 season there were 10 weeks of
fundamental drills through the winter. After spring
break, the Bulldogs get 15 practice days before the
end of school and with the start of the summer
school semester, the Bulldogs enjoy another cou-
ple weeks of practice before taking the rest of July
off and opening camp Aug. 2.
Friday was the last summer practice of the sea-
son and the Bulldogs wrapped it up with the annu-
al Blue-White Game. Two teams are drafted
from among the team at large, mixing rst
stringers with guys who may not be back when
CSM takes the eld again in early August.
What it does for us (coaches) is give us a
chance to evaluate guys in game situations, pres-
sure situations, Tulloch said. Its great to see all
these guys have to make plays. Can this quarter-
back lead the team down the eld and nish, down
four point with a minute 30 on the clock? Were
creating those types of things.
Since so many players are rotating in and out of
the game, it may take a while to notice a standout
player but one thing is for sure the Bulldogs
defense appears to be as stingy as ever. With Bret
Pollack, Bulldogs offensive coordinator and head
coach, calling plays for both offenses, the defens-
es held the CSM offense in check as they com-
bined for three rst-half scores two for the

Highly touted pitcher Mark Appel spurned
the Pittsburgh Pirates and decided to remain at
Stanford for his senior season, the rst big
casualty of baseballs new restrictions on ama-
teur signing bonuses.
Appel was the only unsigned player among
31 rst-round picks, turning down an offer of
$3.8 million from the
Pirates. Projected by some
to be the No. 1 selection,
some teams shied away
from the right-hander
because of the expected
demands of his adviser,
Scott Boras. Appel was
selected eighth by the
Pirates.
That slot was assigned $2.9 million from the
drafting teams bonus pool in baseballs new
labor contract, which imposes penalties on
clubs that exceed the threshold the totals of
the slots for a teams selections in the rst 10
rounds.
Pittsburgh was prepared to go as much as 5
percent above its threshold and incur the rst
level of penalty, a 75 percent tax on the over-
age. But the Pirates didnt want to fall into
higher levels, which include the loss of future
draft picks.
After much thought, prayer and analysis of
both opportunities, I came to the conclusion the
best decision is to remain at Stanford continu-
ing my studies, nishing my degree, and doing
all I can to assist the Cardinal baseball team in
our goal to win a national championship,
Appel spurns Pirates, will stay at Stanford

If youre interested is nding out what the
2012-13 high school basketball season will
look like, you can get a sneak preview this
weekend and next as Skyline College hosts its
32nd annual High School Basketball
Tournament.
[This tournament is] kind of the end of the
summer in terms of the high school teams,
said Justin Piergrossi, Skyline mens coach
and tournament director.
Its been a whirlwind of activity for
Piergrossi, who in addition to putting together
the high school tournament, just wrapped up
his annual Nor Cal Showcase, an event that
featured 18 Northern California junior col-
leges playing in front of four-year coaches.
Each team played four games over two days,
Thursday and Friday.
Its all for the exposure (of junior college
players) and a chance to coach our guys,
Piergrossi said of the showcase. We get 50 to
60 four-year school coaches to come and
watch.
Its nice for us and nice for Northern
California.
While handling the operations of the college
showcase, Piergrossi, at the same time, has
been juggling the high school tournament as
well.
I dont even know whos coming and there
are 28 teams, Piergrossi joked.
A dozen Peninsula Athletic League schools
are represented: El Camino, Half Moon Bay,
Hillsdale, Jefferson, Menlo-Atherton, Mills,
Oceana, Sequoia, South San Francisco, Terra
Nova, Westmoor and Woodside. Four public
schools from San Francisco, including peren-
nial power Lowell, will play. Serra, Riordan

MINNEAPOLIS Aside from one swing
from Jonny Gomes, the Oakland Athletics had
no chance against Francisco Liriano on Friday
night.
That one swing was all it took for Oakland to
escape with a win, though.
Gomes grand slam helped the As overcome a
career-high 15 strikeouts
from Liriano and beat the
Minnesota Twins 6-3.
Lirianos 15 strikeouts
were the second most in
Twins history and most
since Johan Santana fanned
17 Texas batters at the
Metrodome on Aug. 19,
2007.
You got to swing, said
Gomes, who hit the slam on
the rst pitch of his second at-bat after whifng
on three straight in his rst plate appearance.
You just hope its a strike, not like the rst three
pitches I swung at. You have to be aggressive,
often.
It was the 23rd time since 1961 that a pitcher
had 15 or more strikeouts and lost the game.
Josh Willingham hit two home runs for
Minnesota which has lost ve of six.
A.J. Grifn (1-0) battled through six innings
to earn his rst career win and lead the As to
their seventh victory in eight games.
It might not have been my best outing, said
Grifn, whose father is from Grand Rapids,
Minn., and had nine family members in the
stands to witness his rst win. I was just trying
to compete after the break. Its good to get that
rst one.
Liriano (3-8) looked unhittable most of
Friday. The inconsistent lefty used a diving slid-
er and nasty changeup to fan eight of the rst 10
hitters he faced and record nine of his rst 10
outs via strikeout.
Twins center-elder Denard Span dropped a
y ball with one out in the fourth and Liriano
walked the next batter to load the bases.
Gomes hit Lirianos next pitch into the second
deck in left eld, his rst grand slam this season
and third in his career.
Youve got to make the plays, Twins man-
ager Ron Gardenhire said. You should have
been sitting in the dugout and it ends up Gomes
coming up in a big situation and got a rst pitch
that kind of drifted in towards him, inner-half of
the plate and he put it in the seats. Thats whats
disappointing. He should have been in the
dugout.

More legal woes for Dykstra
LOS ANGELES Former All-Star outeld-
er Lenny Dykstra pleaded guilty Friday and
could face 20 years in prison for hiding and sell-
ing sports memorabilia and other items that were
supposed to be part of his bankruptcy ling.
Dykstra, 49, entered his plea in U.S. District
Court to one count each of bankruptcy fraud,
concealment of assets and money laundering.
It was the latest legal problem for Dykstra,
who earned the nickname Nails because of his
gritty style of play, and spent his 12-year career
with the New York Mets and Philadelphia
Phillies. He previously
pleaded no contest to grand
theft auto and exposing
himself to women he met
through Craigslist.
Dykstra, who bought a
mansion once owned by
hockey star Wayne Gretzky,
led for bankruptcy three
years ago, claiming he
owed more than $31 mil-
lion and had only $50,000 in assets.
After the ling, Dykstra hid, sold or destroyed
more than $400,000 worth of items without per-
mission of a bankruptcy trustee, prosecutors
said.

NEW ORLEANS Drew Brees and the
Saints reached a deal on par with the quarter-
backs record-setting play, giving New
Orleans fans some news they can celebrate
after an offseason rife with turmoil.
The team announced Friday that it had
agreed to a ve-year contract with Brees. A
person familiar with the
deal said its for $100 mil-
lion, with $60 million
guaranteed.
The deal will also pay
the quarterback $40 mil-
lion the rst year, the per-
son told The Associated
Press on condition of
anonymity because nan-
cial details had not been
publicly announced.
Brees posted a note on his Twitter page
reading, Deal is Done! Love you, Who Dat
Nation. See you soon!
He had been tagged as the Saints exclusive
franchise player and could not negotiate with
other teams.
Had a deal not been reached, the tender for
a quarterback was worth $16.3 million. Brees
would have had to play for that amount or
hold out for a better one-year deal, which
would have left his long-term future in New
Orleans uncertain.
Brees skipped the Saints offseason prac-
tices while holding out for his new long-term
contract, which now gives him the highest
average annual pay ($20 million) in NFL his-
tory. Buffalo defensive end Mario Williams
also has a $100 million contract, but for six
years.
With a contract like this, people can say
theyre paying me what you earned or what
you deserved. In my mind, I always feel like
Ive got to go out every day and earn it and
show people why youre at that level, Brees
said in an interview Friday night with the
Saints radio network, WWL-AM. I can tell
you from the start of this negotiation, I have
not thought once about, Hey, I want to be the
highest-paid guy or what have you. ... It was
more about trying to look truly, just objective-
ly, at the numbers the last decade for a top-tier
quarterback and where it has been and where
it is going and just trying to do what is fair and
justied.
Now Brees is set to report for the opening of
Saints training camp on July 24, a needed
dose of good news for a club whose offseason
has been plagued by the bounty scandal that
resulted in the season-long suspensions of
coach Sean Payton and linebacker Jonathan
Vilma, among other sanctions.
What Drew has accomplished in his time
with the Saints, he deserves to be the highest
paid player in the league, Saints general man-
ager Mickey Loomis said. We are excited to
have this deal done and behind us and look
forward to the next ve years with Drew as
our quarterback.
Brees teammates quickly took to Twitter to
congratulate him.
Safety Malcolm Jenkins wrote Congrats
bro ... Youve changed the game on and off the
eld!!! No one deserves it more than you.
Tight end Jimmy Graham tweeted:
Congrats (at)drewbrees ... very happy for
you, your family and all the Whodat Nation ....
lets go get the trophy.
Even LSU coach Les Miles chimed in,
tweeting: Its a great day for New Orleans
and the state of Louisiana. Congrats to both
Drew Brees and the Saints on reaching a deal.
Who Dat!
The contract, which includes a $37 million
signing bonus, also gives the Saints more ex-
ibility under the NFLs salary cap. Because
bonuses count against the cap on a pro-rated
basis over the life of the contract $7.4 mil-
lion per year in Brees case the quarterback
will cost the club only $10.4 million against
the cap in 2012. That gives Loomis nearly $6
million more in wiggle room to manage the
entire roster than if Brees had played for the
franchise tag.

Norman Sas, electric
football inventor, dies at 87
Norman Sas, a mechanical engineer who creat-
ed electric football, a tabletop game with a vibrat-
ing metal eld and unpredictable plastic players
that captivated and frustrated children and nostal-
gic grown-ups for decades, has died. He was 87.
Sas died June 28 at his home in Vero Beach, his
daughter Martha OConnor conrmed Friday.
Sas father Elmer owned Tudor Metal Products
in New York, surviving through the Depression by
making xylophones and a six-slot Budget Bank
that allowed users to divide their savings for dif-
ferent purposes. The company eventually devel-
oped technology that used a small motor to create
vibrations on a metal plate, the basis for car and
horse racing games.
Electric football became so popular that several
competitors popped up to challenge Tudor. The
game evolved, with the players becoming much
more detailed, a grandstand complete with crowd
added and an NFL licensing deal that allowed fans
to have their favorite teams on the eld. Its popu-
larity endured into the 1980s, when video football
games began to emerge.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Penn State tailback Silas Redd still
stands by his former coach Joe Paterno. Defensive tackle Jordan
Hill does, too.
Redd, Hill and the rest of the Nittany Lions are trying to weath-
er another stormy period after former FBI Director Louis Freehs
investigation of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal con-
cluded that Paterno and three other top school ofcials concealed
allegations against his former defensive coordinator.
Most Nittany Lions, before a player-organized charity event
Friday, said they didnt watch the news conference Thursday
about the probe, but had at least heard of the ndings.
Nearly all the Nittany Lions declined comment about the report
itself, trying to refocus attention for the Uplifting Athletes char-
ity event for which they had gathered to raise money for the
Kidney Cancer Association.
It has nothing to do with us, Redd said about the ndings.
Were just talking about this event and this season.
But Redd said his opinion of Paterno, the coach that recruited
him to Penn State, hadnt changed. He said Paterno, in his view,
remained the best college football coach of all time.
Some newspaper columnists and former Florida State coach
Bobby Bowden have said the statue should be taken down but
not Redd.
Because I feel he did a lot more good than bad for this univer-
sity, he said.
Hoping to take a picture at the statue in cap and gown when he
graduates, Hill said he would be sad if the statue was removed.
His opinion of Paterno hasnt changed, either.
Im still a big supporter of coach Paterno and he is one of the
reasons that Im here, he said. All you can really say is no man
is perfect at all.
Now that Freehs ndings have been released, Penn State can
now concentrate on answering the NCAAs own inquiry into the
scandal. President Rodney Erickson has said the school plans to
respond to questions about institutional control and ethics in the
coming weeks.
Its possible the NCAA could then launch a formal investiga-
tion which could lead to sanctions.
Whether that could include the so-called death penalty
where a program is shut down seems unlikely, at least for now.
It has happened just once, against SMU back in the 1980s.
Current NCAA rules limit the penalty to colleges already on pro-
bation that commit another major violation.

Not quite a Dream Team, still the Olympic favorite.
The U.S. mens basketball team heading to London isnt the
powerhouse it could have been, a squad that might have been so
stacked that its only worthy rival would have been history.
Injuries have cost the Americans three top players, along with
probably any notion they could have won a mythical matchup
against the famed 1992 champions.
What remains is good enough to make the Americans golden
again.
I think this team will be a stronger team than we had in 08,
USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said.
If we do what were capable of doing and we stay focused
and have the mental toughness, then we should prevail. I believe
that in my heart of hearts, but we have to go out and do it.
The Americans always face comparisons to the Dream Team,
and Colangelo even invited the connection when he named a 20-
man roster pool in January.
But Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade and Blake
Grifn have since been lost to injuries, removing four players
who started in the All-Star game. Whats left is still potent
how about LeBron James and Kevin Durant in the same front-
court? but probably not good enough to beat Michael Jordan,
Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and the rest of their Hall of Fame
predecessors.
Thats no big deal for this U.S. team, which is more worried
about Pau Gasol, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker.
Its possible now that some will say with those losses, well
then any discussion about comparison is probably out the win-
dow, and you know its really not that important or signicant,
Colangelo said. That was then, this is now. That was them, and
this is us. You know, lets go out and do the job we have to do
and then people can make any comparisons they wish after the
fact.
Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and Deron
Williams are all back for the reigning gold medalists. Durant,
who had the best tournament ever by an American player two
years ago at the world basketball championship, headlines the
returnees from that team.
As for the notion that the Americans are so weakened they
could actually gasp lose?
They got to get the ratings up, dont they? They got to ask
something, it cant be all good things, Anthony said.
Turning serious, Anthony added: If we go out there and do
what we have to do, and prepare for this Olympics like we did
in 08, well be ne.
Even at full strength many Dream Teamers dismissed the
Americans chances of beating them. Charles Barkley insists the
current group wasnt deep enough; Johnson saying his team
would crush them. But Chris Mullin was at least originally
willing to consider that this could have been the best team ever,
noting that the 2012 squads top players were all in their primes,
while Bird and Johnson were near the end of their careers in 92.
Kobe, LeBron, Dwyane Wade, all the best guys are playing,
Mullin said earlier this year. Derrick Rose, you name it.
Dwight Howard.
Well, forget Howard, who had back surgery. Forget Rose, who
tore knee ligaments. And forget Wade, who needs knee surgery.
Fellow Heat star Chris Bosh also dropped out after straining an
abdominal muscle during the second round of the playoffs.
Their competitors also have problems, from Spain losing daz-
zling rookie point guard Ricky Rubio to a knee injury, to
Parkers eye injury in a bar brawl that put his availability for the
French in jeopardy.
The Americans are positioned to handle their losses better,
thanks largely to the national team program Colangelo began
building in 2005. The U.S. reacted poorly to withdrawals before
the 04 Olympics, randomly picking replacements without
thought to how they would t, and the team ultimately nished
third.

If we do what were capable of
doing and we stay focused and
have the mental toughness, then we
should prevail. I believe that in my heart of
hearts, but we have to go out and do it.

the West Catholic Athletic League,
while three-time defending Central
Coast Section champion Sacred
Heart Prep and Kings Academy will
play out of the West Bay Athletic
League.
The 28 teams are split into seven
pools of four. Saturday and Sunday
features pool play, with the top 16
teams qualifying for the double-elim-
ination tournament July 21 and 23.
We love (hosting it at Skyline),
Piergrossi said. Its great to just
open up our facilities and campus to
the community. Its just fun being in
the gym. Its [four] long days of bas-
ketball, but its fun.
Heck, maybe those college coach-
es should just make a weekend of it
at Skyline. After watching the col-
lege showcase Thursday and Friday,
they can get an early look at the crop
of CCS talent.
Not so fast, Piergrossi said.
The DI coaches can not (attend
the high school tournament). Its not
certied through the NCAA. The
(college) showcase is certified
through the NCAA, Piergrossi said.
Some of the DII and DIII coaches
will probably swing by (this week-
end).

Appel said in a statement. I greatly
valued the prospect of a professional
opportunity and I will pursue a pro-
fessional baseball career after getting
my Stanford degree.
Appel, who turns 21 on Sunday,
also failed to sign in 2009, when
Detroit selected him in the 15th
round with the 450th pick after his
nal season with Monte Vista High
in San Ramon, Calif. Appel will go
back into next years draft.
Under the labor deal, agreed to in
November, the deadline for draft
picks to sign was 5 p.m. Friday, a
month earlier than under the previ-
ous collective bargaining agreement.
Trying to end a record streak of 19
consecutive losing seasons, the
resurgent Pirates began Friday with a
one-game lead in the NL Central.
Third baseman Pedro Alvarez, the
No. 2 pick overall in 2008, signed a
four-year deal worth $6,355,000 and
has 16 homers and 50 RBIs this sea-
son despite a .231 average. There are
several top pitching prospects in
Pittsburghs minor league system.
Jameson Taillon, the No. 2 overall
pick in 2010, got a $6.5 million sign-
ing bonus and is in A-ball. Gerrit
Cole, the No. 1 pick last year,
received an $8 million signing bonus
and recently was promoted to
Double-A.
We drafted Mark Appel to sign
Mark Appel. We were excited about
the opportunity to add him to a
plethora of quality, young arms,
Pirates general manager Neal
Huntington said during a telephone
conference call. It didnt happen. So
now we turn the corner. This, too,
shall pass. We move forward.
Because Appel didnt sign, the
Pirates will receive an extra rst-
round pick in next Junes draft, the
ninth selection overall. The Pirates
also could gain an extra selection
from baseballs rst competitive bal-
ance draft, which will be held
Wednesday in Secaucus, N.J.
We may be looking at three of the
top 45 picks in the country,
Huntington said. Some have argued
next years draft class is going to be
better than this years draft class.
Boras also represented Alvarez
and Cole in their negotiations with
the Pirates.
Selecting Mark was a calculated
risk, as we knew he would be a dif-
cult sign, Huntington said. As an
organization, we need to continue to
take these types of calculated risks.
While we wouldve preferred to add
Mark to the group of talented
prospects in our system, we wish
Mark, and his family, nothing but
success in the future.
Appel was 10-2 with a 2.56 ERA
for Stanford this year with 130
strikeouts in 123 innings, raising his
college record to 18-10.
We are all excited to have him
back at Stanford for his senior sea-
son, Cardinal coach Mark Marquess
said. He is one of the premier pitch-
ers in college baseball and will again
play an integral role in our quest to
get back to the College World Series.
Im sure it was a difcult decision for
him and his family, but I know Mark
is excited to complete his degree in
engineering and then embark on a
long and successful pro career.

Relay sprinter Debbie Dunn took
her name off the U.S. Olympic team
roster Friday after testing positive
for excessive testosterone.
Dunn, who nished fourth in the
400 meters at Olympic trials, was
selected for the American relay
pool. She is the 2010 world indoor
champion at 400 meters and would
have been a likely candidate to run
in the Olympic 1,600-meter relay,
which the American women have
won every year since 1996.
But she released a statement
acknowledging a positive doping
test and said she was withdrawing
from the Olympics while the U.S.
Anti-Doping Agency pursues the
case.
I do not want any issue like this
to distract from my teammates
focus for the biggest meet of their
lives, Dunn said. I wish Team
USA (the) best in London as I work
toward resolving this matter.
The Chicago Tribune rst report-
ed Dunns positive test.
USADA CEO Travis Tygart said
the agency is analyzing Dunns B
sample. If that comes back positive,
Dunn would have the choice of
accepting a sanction or taking the
case to arbitration.

NL STANDINGS AL STANDINGS MLS STANDINGS
Blue Team late in the second quarter
and the opening score by the White
Team midway through the rst.
The Blake Plattsmier-run White
Team offense appeared to be in sync
a little bit quicker than the Jon Willis-
led Blue Team offense. Both saw
extensive time playing for the
Bulldogs last year and should provide
leadership and condence for the
upcoming season.
The running game appeared to be
ahead of the passing attack at this
point of the game. Grayshirt fresh-
man George Naufahu out of San
Mateo High, showed a nice burst on
20-yard scoring run for the White
Team in the rst quarter. Another
freshman runner, D.J. Peluso of El
Camino, also showed some nice
strength and strong inside running.
Defensively, former South City
standout Rika Levi made his pres-
ence felt on a couple of series. The
Blue Team defensive lineman had
two sacks and would have had a third,
if he wasnt held. But Levi showed
tremendous quickness for a guy who
is 6-3, 350 pounds.
While the game, ultimately, is to
prepare the current crop of CSM
players for the 2012 campaign, it also
serves as a reunion of sorts for the
extended Bulldog family. Since most
college programs are already in their
summer dead time, it allows alumni
to return to the place that allowed
them to continue their careers at the
four-year level. Hoko Fanaika, who
recently signed with LSU, was in
attendance, as was former Menlo-
Atherton standout Vaughn Smith,
who Tulloch said has already locked
down the starting running back job at
Carrollton College in Texas.
Even one of CSM biggest alums
Julian Edelman, former Woodside
standout and current New England
Patriot makes it to the intrasquad
game to relive memories.
[The Blue-White Game] is a
reward for all the stuff you worked on
in practice, Edelman said, who
played in just one Blue-White Game,
prior to the 2005 season, before head-
ing off to Kent State University.
Edelman was a true freshman
when he took his rst snaps in this
game seven years ago.
Its a little more complex (than the
high school game), Edelman said.
It was fun to go out and run around
(playing football).
Edelman said he tries to stop by
whenever he is in town not only
to check in with his former coaches
but also to use the world-class facili-
ties.
I like to use the eld (to work
out), Edelman said. You dont get a
view like this too often on the East
Coast.
[CSM] is kind of where it all start-
ed on my journey (to the NFL). Its
[my] roots.
Adding a little intrigue to the game
is the fact it is played without pads or
helmets but that does not take away
from the physicality. Guys were still
running at full speed and were not
shying away from running between
the tackles.
Coaches were quick with the whis-
tle but there was still a number of col-
lisions between players just the
nature of the game.
Its as physical as you can get
without being in pads, Tulloch said.
The guys get up for it.

WORLD

BEIRUT The U.N. singled out govern-
ment forces Friday for blame in the latest
massacre in Syria, a frenzy of killing that rais-
es new questions about whether diplomacy
has any chance to end the crisis more than 16
months into the bloodiest revolt of the Arab
Spring.
As the violence turns ever more chaotic,
analysts warn the effort by special envoy Ko
Annan has become nothing more than a pre-
tense, with government forces, rebels,
jihadists and others ghting for power.
Violence and escalation have outpaced
political and international diplomacy, said
Fawaz A. Gerges, director of the Middle East
Center at the London School of Economics.
I dont see a light at the end of the tunnel.
... All I see is more violence and more escala-
tion, and this horrible massacre is another
sign that Syria is spiraling out of control.
Scores of people were killed Thursday
when Syrian gunners bombarded the impov-
erished village of Tremseh with tanks and hel-
icopters in what rebels claim was among the
worst single days of bloodshed in the uprising
against President Bashar Assad.
The accounts of the killings and death tolls
varied widely. Late Friday, local activists
backed away from early reports that more
than 200 people were killed. One said he had
conrmed 74, but had only 20 names. Another
provided a list of 103 names.
For its part, the Syrian government said
more than 50 people were killed when Syrian
forces clashed with armed gangs that were
terrorizing village residents. The regime
refers to its opponents as terrorists and gang-
sters.
Much remains unclear about what hap-
pened in Tremseh, an isolated hamlet in Hama
province, including why it was targeted and
whether all of the dead were civilians. One
activist group said dozens of victims were
rebel ghters.
An amateur video posted online showed a
young man wailing over the body of an elder-
ly, gray-haired man wrapped in a blanket.
Come on, Dad. For the sake of God, get
up, the man sobbed as a boom was heard in
the background.
U.N.blames regime forces for Syria massacre
By Aya Batrawy and Ashraf Sweilam
CAIRO The Egyptian Bedouin who
abducted two Boston natives and their guide
on Friday vowed he would take more hostages
of different nationalities if police do not
release his uncle from prison.
Speaking to the Associated Press by tele-
phone, Jirmy Abu-Masuh of the Tarbeen tribe
in Egypts Sinai Peninsula, said the captives
would remain safe, but that more would be
abducted if his uncle is not released.
If my uncle gets 50 years (in prison), they
will stay with me for 50 years. If they release
him, I will release them, he said of the cap-
tives. Tomorrow I will kidnap other national-
ities and their embassies will be notied for
the whole world to know.
Abu-Masuh, a 32 year-old truck driver, said
the American man, 61, and woman, 39, were
treated as guests and given tea, coffee and a
traditional lamb dinner reserved for special
occasions in Bedouin culture. He said that the
man is a pastor from Massachusetts and that
he had been allowed to call his wife.a
I told them nothing will happen to you.
You are my guest, he said.
The two Americans could not be immedi-
ately reached for comment. Abu-Masuh said
they were asleep in his home located deep in
central Sinais rugged mountains.
The two Americans were abducted in broad
daylight when Abu-Masuh stopped the tour
bus they were in with dozens of other tourists
along a major road linking Cairo to the sixth-
century St. Catherines Monastery, located at
the foot of Mount Sinai where the Old
Testament says Moses received the stone
tablets with the Ten Commandments. The
route to the monastery is a frequent target by
Bedouins who abduct tourists to pressure
police to meet their demands, which is usual-
ly to release of a detained relative they say has
been unjustly arrested.
While armed, Abu-Masuh said he told the
man and woman to get off the bus and took
their Egyptian tour guide with them to trans-
late.
The Americans with me are scared, but we
were treated well, tour guide Haytham
Ragab, 28, told the AP from the captors
phone.
Ragab said he is not allowed to use his own
mobile phone except by permission from his
captor.

Clinton talks with
reformist Myanmar president
SIEM REAP, Cambodia Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clinton declared
Myanmar open to
American investment
Friday, introducing the
reformist president to
leaders of some of the
U.S.s biggest corpora-
tions and still prodding
him to do more to expand
democracy in his long-
reclusive country.
Following the Obama
administrations recent loosening of sanctions
against Myanmar, Clinton met President
Thein Sein for an hour in the Cambodian city
of Siem Reap, praising him for several pro-
democracy reforms while suggesting more
could still be done.
Clinton and Thein Sein shared a warm
greeting in a hotel courtyard, their national
ags and tropical foliage behind them. The
two seemed much more personally engaged
than when they met last year, when Clinton
became the rst U.S. secretary of state in half-
a-century to visit Myanmar. The city hosts the
famous centuries-old temples of Angkor,
recalling an earlier age of regional glory.
I brought a very prestigious business dele-
gation to see you. I wanted them all to hear
from you tonight about your plans for the
future, Clinton told Thein Sein, and she also
asked after his family.
They then met the largest delegation of
American businesses to Southeast Asia,
including Coca Cola, Ford Motor Co.,,
General Electric, General Motors, Goldman
Sachs and Google.
With slower growth,
China cant play economic hero
BEIJING Chinas economic growth fell
to a three-year low, and a potential recovery
later this year will probably be too weak to
pull the world out of its slump.
The worlds second-largest economy grew
by 7.6 percent over a year earlier in the three
months ending in June, its slowest since early
2009 during the global crisis, data showed
Friday.
Analysts pointed to strong bank lending as a
sign of a possible recovery in the second half,
but slower growth in retail sales and factory
output left them uncertain how fast or how
vigorously the economy will improve.
The soft landing is still on track largely as
expected, but the rebound may be slightly
more drawn out, said Moodys Analytics
economist Alaistair Chan in a report.
The latest data dampen hopes China can
make up for weak demand from debt-crippled
Europe and the United States, which is strug-
gling with a sluggish recovery.
It is not certain whether or not there will be
a strong upward rebound. But at least the eco-
nomic growth rate will stop coming down,
said economist Xiao Li at Industrial Bank in
Shanghai.
Iran reports: War games
showed missile accuracy
TEHRAN, Iran War games this month
showcased missiles with improved accuracy
and ring capabilities, Iranian media reports
said Friday, an apparent response to stepped
up Western moves against Irans nuclear pro-
gram.
Irans powerful Revolutionary Guards con-
ducted the exercise in the central desert, ring
ballistic missiles including a long-range vari-
ety meant to deter an Israeli or U.S. attack.
The targets were models of foreign military
bases, and the stated goal was to show that
Irans missiles can hit Western bases and
Israel.
The U.N. Security Council has imposed
several rounds of economic sanctions on Iran,
aimed at persuading Iran to halt its uranium
enrichment program. The sanctions have hit
Irans economy, but its leaders have refused to
scale down the nuclear program.
In the latest step, The European Union put a
ban against purchase of Iranian oil in force on
July 1. EU purchases accounted for 18 percent
of Irans oil exports.

Hillary Clinton
By Andrew Lyu
S
ummertime is in full swing, and as
usual, I am busy engaging in intern-
ships. Although I have ofcially left
high school, not a second of my life has
slowed down: I wake up
at 6 a.m. as usual, sleep at
12 a.m. as usual. A whole
month into my summer
vacation, I honestly could
not imagine my summer
any other way.
Earlier this year, the
Aragon Outlook ques-
tioned Who killed the
American summer? The editorial argued
that the iconic American summer, which
should be reserved for relaxation and pursuit
of capricious interests, had been swallowed
by the academic pressures of studying, work,
resume padding and internships. It concludes
staunchly: So, world if you expect us to
ll our summers with what is essentially an
extension of the pressures we face during the
school year and in our work, we deserve to
not be treated as children anymore. If you
expect us to work like adults, treat us like
adults. And if you are not quite ready to give
us that respect of choice, give us back our
summers. (To read the entire editorial, you
can visit www.aragonoutlook.net.)
Looking back at the editorial, which I ini-
tially agreed with, I wonder, has my summer
been swallowed whole? Have I fallen into the
societal trap of academic pressures, so much
so that I do not recognize my right to an hon-
est American summer? I argue not.
I have completed high school. I have gone
through the whole college application deal. I
have chosen a college to attend, of which I
love. And yes, I am spending my summer
working as an intern. Perhaps my current
couple of internships will look impressive on
my resume. And perhaps I could spend my
summer idling around, pursuing miscella-
neous passions, and following an agenda
which is not intrinsically academic. But,
quite frankly, I love my internship.
At my internship, I have coworkers who
have come to become my friends. I have got-
ten remarkable opportunities to meet unique
people, of whom I would not be able to meet
on my own accord. I have learned an
immense amount of interesting academic
material. And to top it all off, I have learned
a great deal about myself as well. In no way,
shape or form do I feel like I have had my
summer stolen from me.
I will admit that my summer is not the
glowing image of an American summer, as

Best bets

In 1994, a 13-year-old boy
named Nicholas Barclay was
reported missing from his
home in San Antonio, Texas.
Three and a half years later, he
turned up in Spain of all

of his worried family.
Or did he?
Who this person is and how

WEEKEND JOURNAL
tionize documentaries decades ago.
It got me thinking about other
stylish documentaries Ive loved
over the years, ones that infused fas-
cinating, real-life tales with the
beauty and artistry of feature lms.
There are so many to choose from, I
realize Im scratching the surface
here. But I only get to choose ve
each week. Thats why the game is
fun:
Man on Wire (2008): James
Marshs Oscar-winning documen-
tary about Philippe Petit, the
diminutive French daredevil who
walked a tightrope between the
World Trade Center towers in 1974,
plays more like an intricately timed,
high-stakes heist ick. You know
from the start that Petit makes it
hes alive and all too happy to talk
about himself but youll still hold
your breath as he and his partners in
crime relive the feat. One of the
neatest tricks Marsh pulls off here is
creating the sensation that were
actually watching Petit make the
walk. But were not. No footage is
available. Marsh seamlessly pieces
together the event through photo-
graphs and recreations. Sitting in
the audience, feeling as if were in
on the scheme with Petit and his
motley crew of co-conspirators is
just one of the lms many joys.
Waltz With Bashir (2008):
Unlike anything Id ever seen
before, this changed my ideas about
the possibility of lm. Its a breath-
takingly gorgeous animated docu-
mentary, which may sound like a
contradiction in terms, but Israeli
writer-director Ari Folman breaks
all the rules with exhilarating cre-
ativity. Folman reconstructs the
hazy memories of his time as a
young soldier at war in 1980s
Lebanon by visiting friends and
then animating their talks. The
result looks like a graphic novel
brought brilliantly to life. Dark
shadows suggest impending danger,
and bright splashes of color provide
unexpected jolts of energy. That the
gures on screen resemble real peo-
ple, without appearing entirely real-
istic, adds to the fascination.
Hell and Back Again (2011):
Director and photographer Danfung
Dennis crafted this Oscar-nominat-
ed documentary about the war in
Afghanistan with the engrossing,
dreamlike artistry of a feature lm.
And yet he maintains the bracing,
intimate realism needed to authenti-
cally tell a story about battle, sur-
vival and redemption. He jumps
back and forth between a 25-year-
old Marine sergeants return to his
North Carolina hometown and the
mission that left him seriously
wounded. Dennis is so in the thick
of things, hell repeatedly make you
wonder how he got that amazing
shot. Match cuts and clever sound
editing provide a seamless flow
between past and present.
Bob Dylan: Dont Look Back
(1967): Pioneering lmmaker D.A.
Pennebaker set the standard for the
rock documentary with this classic,
behind-the-scenes look at Bob
Dylans 1965 concert tour of
England. This was impish 23-year-
old Dylan before he famously went
electric, and Pennebaker depicts this
fortuitous moment of flux with
grainy, intimate, black-and-white
camerawork. The images he cap-
tured here became endlessly copied
and parodied, from the 1987 INXS
video for Mediate, in which the
band members toss away cue cards
the way Dylan does with
Subterranean Homesick Blues, to
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox
Story, which parodies this time in
Dylans life with dead-on hilarity.
The rough-hewn aesthetic is a thing
of restless beauty.
Stop Making Sense (1984):
One of the coolest concert lms
ever, its probably also my favorite
Jonathan Demme lm; the way he
structures it is just mesmerizing.
Stop Making Sense begins on a
stage with only lead singer David
Byrne singing Psycho Killer and
playing a guitar with a boom box on
the oor behind him. And then song
by song, piece by piece, the place
builds and lls up until the whole
stage is full with the complete band,
other musicians and an array of
instruments. The process happened
right before your eyes but it was so
subtle and deliberate, you may not
even have noticed it. Its a great
example of a band being playful and
inventive rather than self-serious.
And of course, the music is great.
FIVE
just to give you an idea of the kind of
detail we get into here.
Director Bart Layton takes a story
that was already fascinatingly weird
to begin with and makes it even
more compelling by structuring it as
a shadowy lm noir, offering infor-
mation in expertly paced, precisely
measured amounts to maximize sus-
pense. His inventive approach
includes reenactments of some
events, or as he describes them,
subjective visualizations of what
the key gures are describing in their
interviews. Some viewers may have
a problem with this tactic its one
that James Marsh also employed
recently in Man on Wire and
Project Nim but they make
sense within this stylish aesthetic.
Layton doesnt judge any of the
people involved, but rather uses this
extraordinary situation in which they
all found themselves to explore the
nature of truth: how we manufacture
it and what we will allow ourselves
to believe. Rashomon-style recol-
lections of events reinforce the sen-
sation that what were watching is
disorienting and thrilling at once.
At the center, and happily serving
as our tour guide from the very
beginning, is the imposter himself: a
French-Algerian man named
Frederic Bourdin who thoroughly
explains what he did, step by step.
Its as if hes even impressed with
himself for having pulled off this
scam; he repeatedly breaks into a
boyishly proud grin as he recalls his
actions. This person is obviously
dangerous and untrustworthy to us
but its also easy to see how he could
charm his way into or out of any sit-
uation. Hes cunning hes a sur-
vivor.
Bourdin shares how he discovered
the name of the missing boy and
assumed his identity. After manipu-
lating various authorities in Spain,
he was on his way to the United
States, accompanied by Nicholas
excited but understandably confused
older sister, Carey, whod own out
to retrieve him.
One look at this guy, with his
brown hair and dark eyes, and its
obvious hes not the blonde-haired,
blue-eyed Nicholas.
Never mind the fact that
he was also six years
older than Nicholas
would have been (and
looks it), and that he
spoke in heavily-accent-
ed English. Carey,
Nicholas mother,
Beverly, and the rest of
the family were so happy
to have their boy back,
they were willing to
accept anything espe-
cially once the fake
Nicholas began telling them stories
about the life-altering physical and
psychological torture he supposedly
suffered at the hands of his captors.
Whether the family members are
truly that gullible or they have
something to hide themselves, as its
suggested at one point its clear
that theyve lived long and difcult
lives. Perhaps the reemergence of
the long-lost Nicholas provided a
desperately needed source of opti-
mism, one they couldnt bring them-
selves to question.
Once Bourdins actions are clear,
The Imposter then becomes a
question of motive. And once you
think youve got that gured out,
Layton reveals more characters and
more twists, including a folksy, no-
nonsense private investigator who
could easily be the subject of his
own reality series on A&E.
With the help of beautifully seam-
less editing and an eerie score,
Layton moves between interviews
with Bourdin (now in his mid-30s)
and Nicholas family and recon-
structions of events, creating a uid
energy thats spellbinding until the
very end.

BLACK BEARS AND RED
BUSES IN GLACIER NATION-
AL PARK. When Red Bus passen-
gers on a recent morning tour of
Glacier National Park in Montana
saw a young black bear a few feet
away, it was the high point of sev-
eral days of collective sightings of
moose (lazing in a river), an eagle
(on a lakeshore treetop) and deer
(everywhere). While there is no
guarantee of bear sightings,
Glaciers iconic Red Buses are a
sure thing and a must do.
The distinctive 17-passenger
vehicles were manufactured from
1936-1939 and at one time operat-
ed in seven National Parks. Today,
Glacier National Park uses 33 of
its original buses, fully restored by
Ford Motor Company, to provide
half-day and all-day tours of the
park. The Red Bus drivers are
called Jammers because of the
jamming sound they made when
they double-clutched the buses
unsynchronized transmissions on
the steep roads of the park. (The
original standard transmissions
were replaced in 1989 with newer
automatics, removing the trade-
mark jamming sound.) Jammers
knowledgeably provide commen-
tary about everything from park
history and geology to its flora and
fauna while they guide the buses
over Glaciers famous Going-to-
the-Sun Road. In inclement weath-
er, riders are under cover and even
provided with lap blankets, but on
sunny days, the buses canvas con-
vertible tops are rolled back and
the glorious Rockies are all
around.
Veteran Jammer Glenn Walker
said, Tours all take in the spectac-
ular scenery of this Continental
Divide area thats called The
Crown of the Continent. Its a
journey you wont forget! one
family recently confirmed while
on their 11th annual tour. Each
tour, they beamed, left them with
an exciting, memorable experience
on their Ride Back in Time.

tours or to make reservations con-
tact www.glacierparkinc.com or
call (406) 892-2525.
HISTORIC LAKE MCDON-
ALD LODGE. Red Buses make
stops at the parks four historic
lodges, including the rustic Swiss
Chalet-style Lake McDonald
Lodge, 10 miles inside the parks
west entrance, just off the Going-
to-the-Sun Road. Opened in 1914
by a private owner, the three-story
lodge on the shore of Lake
McDonald, the parks largest lake,
was designed to continue the Swiss
theme already developed by the
Great Northern Railway as it built
other hotels and backcountry
chalets in the park.
Lake McDonald Lodges soaring
three-story lobby centers on a mas-
sive stone fireplace in an oversized
inglenook around which guests
happily gather. Many of the
lodges original furnishings remain
in place, and the lobbys striking
hanging lanterns are exact succes-
sors to the originals made by
Kanai craftsmen. The balconies
overlooking the lobby are decorat-
ed with skins and taxidermy
mounts of native species acquired
by the lodges builder. The lobbys
concrete floor is stamped in a flag-
stone pattern and inscribed with
messages in Kootenai (a Native
American dialect), such as wel-
come, new life to those who
drink here and looking toward
the mountain. The front desk pro-
vides a guide to the sayings and to
the animal mounts. Pick one up
and take a look.
In the 1920s, Lake McDonald
Lodge was a favorite haunt of
Cowboy artist Charles Russell,
who had a cabin across the lake.
Russell would sit in one of the
rockers on the lodges back veran-
da and enjoy a drink (or two) while
he admired the lake view and told
cowboy stories to lucky Glacier
Park visitors. Now, you can sit in
one of those same rockers with
your favorite beverage, enjoy the
same lovely view and, given a
serendipitous wildlife sighting on
a Red Bus tour, tell stories of your
own.
Lake McDonald Lodge is open
from late May through late
September. Amenities include
restaurants, a gift shop and boat
tours of Lake McDonald.

depicted in cartoons like Ed, Edd, n
Eddy or Phineas and Ferb. I do have a
day-to-day routine, I do have responsibili-
ties which I am not absolutely exhilarated
for and I do have deep dark bags beneath
my eyes. But my internships are a reflec-
tion of my interests. Working does not pre-
clude my pursuit of passion.
Perhaps when the Outlooks team ques-
tioned who killed the American summer, it
had recognized a legitimate trend. More stu-
dents are spending their summers working
internships and jobs and taking classes. But
this trend is not a signal of the death of the
American summer.
I believe that the American summer is
only truly dead for those individuals who
submit to academic pressures. If an individ-
ual chooses to take SAT classes over the
summer, maybe that individuals summer is
what the Outlook would describe as dead
(unless of course, the individual has a pro-
clivity to the SAT). Otherwise, opportunities
to take jobs and internships are not murderers
of summer. Students can nd resume-impres-
sive jobs and concurrently follow interests.
At least, I know that is the case for me.

programs. Peninsula Bridge Program aims to
give these students tools to choose an academ-
ic path later in life, Shaner said.
St. Matthews hosts a class of fth and sixth
grade students. Each student receives lessons
in math and English in the morning and
enrichment activities in the afternoon.
Ariana, 10, welcomed the tour group to her
math class and explained students had been
learning about decimals and fractions.
This is my favorite class because I like
math, she said.
In the fth grade language art class, students
were writing summaries and drawings for a
book they just read called Bud, Not Buddy.
Ten-year-old Esteban really enjoyed the
10th chapter. He recalled a specic scene he
enjoyed from the book. For Esteban, the extra
help in math is really nice. He enjoyed getting
feedback on his work.
Executive Director Deirdre Marlowe, who
is relatively new to the organization which has
been around for more than 20 years, noted it
works with many Hispanic students. That
same group of students has a higher rate of
diabetes. Fighting that took some strategy. As
a result, new this year are lessons on health for
sixth grade students. On Thursday morning,
students were using colorful dough to discuss
portion sizes.
Also, the students are all wearing pedome-
ters this year. The amount of walking they do
during the day is collected. Throughout the
nine sites, the goal has been to walk the dis-
tance to the Olympics in London. Some stu-
dents have been walking six to seven miles a
day.
Middle school is often the time when stu-
dents lose their enthusiasm for school, said
Marlowe. But thats never what Marlowe sees
at the Peninsula Bridge sites.
Its such a simple thing, but its magic, she
said of students engage and energized by the
learning.
One parent said her son, who will attend
Horrall Elementary School in San Mateo this
fall, has truly enjoyed how learning is like a
game.
This year, the program is serving just more
than 400 students from San Mateo to
Mountain View. Organizers hope to expand
that to 600 by the summer of 2014. Doing so
will require more fundraising and support
from the community, said Marlowe.

in one or more languages in addition to
English. Participation in the program is volun-
tary. To mark the accomplishment, a gold seal
is added to the high school diploma of quali-
ed students.
Fluency in a second language helps our
students be well-prepared to compete in a
global marketplace, State Superintendent
Tom Torlakson wrote in a prepared statement.
The gold seal on their high school diploma
recognizes and celebrates a second language
as an asset not just for themselves, but for our
state, nation and world.
In San Mateo County, schools in the
Sequoia Union High School District partici-
pated. Locally, 394 students earned the seal.
Menlo-Atherton High School had 129 stu-
dents achieve the seal, followed by Sequoia
with 109, Woodside with 79 and Carlmont
with 77. Those who earned the seal locally did
so in French, German, Latin, Mandarin or
Spanish.
Throughout the state, more than 70 percent
of students earned the seal by demonstrating
prociency in Spanish, followed by 10 percent
excelling in French, 7 percent in Mandarin
and 2 percent in Japanese, Cantonese and
German. More than 40 different languages,
including American Sign, are represented in
this years class, according to the California
Department of Education.
To qualify for the seal, a high school gradu-
ate must: Complete all English-language arts
requirements for graduation with an overall
grade point average of 2.0 or higher; pass the
California Standards Test in English-language
arts administered junior year at the procient
level; and show prociency in one or more
languages in addition to English demonstrated
by passing a foreign language advanced place-
ment exam with a score of three or higher or
an international baccalaureate exam with a
score of four or higher or by successfully
completing a four-year high school course of
study in a world language resulting in an over-
all GPA or 3.0 or higher.

be a strong fnisher. Know that youre lucky when it

presentation will lessen the possibility of a misun-
derstanding.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Unless you are materi-

installment being small, theyll continue making good.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- An involvement that
might appear to be minor to most is likely to be
crucial for a very practical reason. Its an activity that
proves hard things can be done an easy way.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- The possibilities for
achieving an extremely important objective are
excellent. Youll know how to adjust to developments,
making a backup plan very effective.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your ideas and con-
cepts have real promise, and could even be superior
to those of your colleagues. Dont sell yourself short
regardless of how much another brags about his or
her achievements.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Changes that occur,
even those initiated by others, are likely to prove to
be more to your beneft than anybody elses. If youre
smart, youll go with the fow.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dont waste your time
trying to make a deal with someone who is not
empowered to make any decisions. Youll go further
faster by dealing with those who call the shots.
