Transit Village opponents are so
certain the San Carlos City
Council will ultimately approve
the mixed-use development around
the train station that some east
side residents are preparing for a
ght at the ballot box.
Ben Fuller, president of the
Greater East San Carlos group,
said as soon as councilmembers
pull the trigger on the project he
will pull the trigger on his plan to
place a referendum on the ballot
overturning the approval. Fuller
is proposing the plan as an indi-
vidual resident, not as a board rep-
resentative, he said.
This way we can hit the ground
running by having all of our ducks
in a row, Fuller said.
Following council approval, a
citizen has 30 days to apply for a
referendum and begin collecting
the needed signatures, said City
Attorney Greg Rubens.
Fuller announced his intention
earlier this week to GESC mem-
bers whove responded with vows
of support and nearly $3,000 in
nancial pledges to fund paid sig-
nature gatherers. Fuller is not

Train project nears end
Despite disturbance, San Bruno residents anxious for completed Caltrain grade separation
By Sally Schilling
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Residents and workers near
downtown San Bruno are anxiously
awaiting the completion of the San
Bruno grade separation project,
which is expected to be nished at
the end of this year. Constructing a
lifted Caltrain track above the
street level at San Bruno, San
Mateo and Angus avenues has
caused traffic and parking prob-
lems, and noise pollution for
years. But for some longtime resi-
dents, dealing with years of incon-
venience and safety risks will be
well worth it.
For San Bruno resident Alice
Barnes, the noise and lack of atten-
tion to public safety during the
beginning phases of the project
were outrageous. At the beginning
of the project, construction crews
blocked roads where parents push-
ing strollers were trying to pass
through, forcing them to walk
close to heavy, loud machinery,
she said.
What they did to keep us safe
was definitely inadequate, she
said.

updating
massage
ordinance
City to require one
state license, not two
By Sally Schilling
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Massage practitioners in
Millbrae may no longer have to
attain multiple government certi-
cations, if the City Council votes
to update its massage ordinance
later this month.
Massage therapists currently
must get a state license and a city
permit, because Millbrae has yet
to update its code to align with the
more recently established state
licensing requirements.
In 2009, the passage of Senate
Bill 731 mandated that practition-
ers obtain state licenses from the
California Massage Therapy
Council.
Meanwhile, Millbraes massage
ordinance, which was last amended
in 2002, still requires each mas-
sage therapist to get a permit from
the police department.
The massage therapists must
deal with dual permits, and both
the state and the city of Millbrae
are charged with running back-
ground checks on them.
But the City Council introduced
an amendment Tuesday that would
update the citys Bathing and
Massage Ordinance to reect state
law, making the California
Massage Therapy Council the sole
entity charged with issuing licens-
es and conducting the background
checks of the practitioners.
City ofcials say the state laws
and system of background checks
have proven to be more effective

Caltrains plan to replace four
aging bridges in San Mateo got a
mostly glowing review from the
citys Public Works Commission
last night but some members of
the public do not like the idea of
cutting down dozens of heritage
trees to accommodate the project.
About 115 trees in Caltrains
right-of-way will have to be
removed with about 70 of them
being heritage trees based on
trunk size.
Claremont Street resident Kathy
Sumner said the North Central
neighborhood already has a lack
of trees and that cutting down trees
on Caltrains right-of-way will
have a big negative impact on the
area.
Resident Brian Skinner asked
whether the trees will be replaced
once the project is complete in
2016.
The trees should be replaced,
Skinner said.

Minnesota town
has 4-year-old boy as mayor
DORSET, Minn. Supporters of
the mayor in the tiny tourist town of
Dorset can stuff the ballot box all they
want as he seeks re-election. The
mayor a short guy is known for
his fondness of ice cream and shing.
And hes got the countys top law
enforcement ofcial in his pocket.
Say hello to Mayor Robert Bobby
Tufts. Hes 4 years old and not even in
school yet.
Bobby was only 3 when he won
election last year as mayor of Dorset
(population 22 to 28, depending on
whether the minister and his family
are in town). Dorset, which bills itself
as the Restaurant Capital of the World,
has no formal city government.
Every year the town draws a name
during its Taste of Dorset Festival, and
the winner gets to be mayor. Anyone
can vote as many times as they like
for $1 a vote at any of the ballot
boxes in stores around town. Bobby is
running for a second term, and he gets
to draw the winning name Aug. 4, so
its possible he could draw his own
name.
Calls of Mr. Mayor greet Bobby
as he strolls around Dorset, handing
out his campaign card. One side shows
Bobby, his dark hair slicked down,
wearing his tan shing vest over a suit
jacket. The other side shows Bobby
sitting in a porch swing with his girl-
friend, Sophie.
I would love to be your Mayor as
much as I love Sophie, the card reads.
Hes been pretty good. Lotta PR for
the town, said his mother, Emma
Tufts, 34. I think hes doing a ne
job.
Bobbys job as mayor is to greet
people as they come to Dorset, located
among the pines and lakes of northern
Minnesota about 150 miles northwest
of Minneapolis. Resorts and tourism
are the main industry, and restaurants
ranging from Mexican to Italian to
family style line about two blocks on
either side of the highway that runs
through the middle of town.
Bobbys major act as mayor so far
has been to make ice cream the top of
the food pyramid. He has many
favorite avors.
Chocolate. And vanilla.
Strawberry. Cotton candy kind. And
rainbow sherbet, said the mayor.
On a recent steamy summer morning,
Bobby skipped ahead as he led a group
of about 20 children and adults on a
walk on the Heartland Trail to raise
money for Ronald McDonald House
Charities of the Red River Valley in
Fargo, N.D. He wore his signature
black fedora, adorned with shing lures
and a large button with his photo, and
seemed endlessly energetic.
I think hes a cute little bugger and
I think a lot of people share the same,
you know, opinion as me, and its
neat, Hubbard County Sheriff Cory
Aukes says. You know, how often do
you see a little kid like that whos
call em camera-friendly or whatever,
you know hes got a very good lit-
tle personality, and hes not afraid to
show it. So I think its great.
City tries humor to
keep butts out of parks
GLENDALE Its not the kind of
sign you usually see at a park: Our
deer dont smoke in your backyard.
Please dont smoke in theirs.
But the Los Angeles foothill suburb
of Glendale hopes such jokes will do a
serious job and keep smokers from
trashing local parks and trails.
The Los Angeles Times says 18
humorous signs were put up in April
throughout the Verdugo and San Rafael
mountains, at the Glendale Sports
Complex and Deukmejian Wilderness
Park.
Other samples: Do not throw ciga-
rette butts on the ground. Our squirrels
are getting cancer and Smokers will
be fed to the bears.
Smoking is banned on city trails
and parks but the city doesnt have
enough workers to patrol every trail.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Two men were stabbed early Sunday
morning near a 7-Eleven in downtown San
Mateo after a man was struck by a beer bot-
tle by one of the stabbing victims, accord-
ing to police.
Police responded to the area of the
Delaware Center on the 600 block of East
Third Avenue on a reported disturbance and
found a 36-year-old San Mateo man had
been struck by a beer bottle just before 2
a.m.
Police then received an additional call of
a stabbing in the area moments later.
One of the stabbing victims, later identi-
fied as 30-year-old Jesus Miranda Vasquez,
received non life-threatening injuries, and
an associate, a 23-year-old man from San
Mateo, received what appeared at the time
to be a life-threatening injury, according to
police.
San Mateo police reviewed available
video surveillance to determine the
sequence of events and determined the sus-
pect of the beer bottle assault, Vasquez,
fled the scene with another person.
They were chased by Carlos Joel Colon,
a 23-year-old San Mateo resident, who
then allegedly stabbed Vasquez and his
associate, according to police.
Colon was identified and arrested Tuesday
and was booked into San Mateo County
Jail on a charge of attempted murder for the
stabbing.
Stabbing victim Vasquez was identified
as the person who committed the beer bot-
tle assault during the initial incident near
the 7-Eleven. He was booked into San
Mateo County Jail on a charge of assault
with a deadly weapon, according to police.
About the same time that morning,
police also responded to a report of two
men, aged 18 and 22, who were attacked by
several suspects near North Railroad and
Monte Diablo avenues, according to
police.
The victims received injuries that are not
life-threatening and items of value were
taken from them, according to police.
Later Sunday night, a 49-year-old San
Mateo man was accosted by three men in
their 20s while walking over the pedestri-
an overcrossing at Monte Diablo Avenue
and Highway 101. The premise of the
assault was robbery, although nothing was
ultimately stolen, according to police.
Beer bottle assault leads to stabbings

A San Mateo County convict serving 15
years to life in prison for strangling his ex-
girlfriend with a cable in front of her young
children and staging it as a suicide is suit-
able for release, a parole board concluded
Tuesday.
Gov. Jerry Brown could still veto parole
for Jose Gilbert Hernandez, 45, but the
boards move this week is a step toward that
after several hearings that ended in denial.
On Jan. 25, 1993, Hernandez strangled
his ex-girlfriend, Gloria Carrasco, at her
Daly City apartment with a coaxial cable in
front of her 4-year-old and 6-month-old
children. Hernandez staged the scene to
look like a suicide, complete with note, and
left the body with the children. The 4-year-
old eventually called her grandmother who
found the scene and alerted police.
On Aug. 31, 1993, Hernandez pleaded no
contest to second-degree murder and was
sentenced to 15 years to life in prison. He
also received another three years after plead-
ing no contest to escape.
According to court documents led by
Hernandez when contesting a 2006 parole
denial, Carrasco had been partially suspend-
ed off the ground by the cable which was
looped around her neck and attached to the
closet door hinge. Anote nearby read Jose,
I love you. Im sorry. Forgive me.
Hernandez originally told police ofcers
the couple had broken up approximately
three weeks earlier but he had driven by her
house early that morning and later asked
that they reconcile. When she declined,
Hernandez said he saw the wire on the bed-
room oor and decided to murder Carrasco.
After strangling her twice, he repositioned
the cable to make it look like a suicide and
wrote the note before leaving her children
locked inside the home with the body. He
then went to work and a movie.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Residents in San Mateo will have more
say in where residential parking permit
zones are set up in the city if the council
ultimately approves suggested modifica-
tions to the program.
The current program uses a parking uti-
lization study to determine if an area or
street qualies for the program. If parking
thresholds are met, a petition is then circu-
lated by the applicant to conrm neighbor-
hood support and a survey is sent out by the
city to conrm the support identied by the
petition, according to a staff report present-
ed to the Public Works Commission last
night by Senior Engineer Gary Heap.
Streets that may have a high level of
neighborhood support for starting the pro-
gram may be denied if they do not meet the
parking criteria or the appropriate level of
support through the petition under the cur-
rent program, according to the staff report.
Under the proposed modifications, the
parking study is instead used to help staff
determine the limits of the residential per-
mit parking program zone. The neighbor-
hood outreach to the community, in the
form of the neighborhood meeting and
circulation of the petition, will be
optional and at the discretion of the appli-
cant. The applicant may request a neigh-
borhood outreach meeting to introduce
parking permit program concepts to
neighbors, may choose to circulate a peti-
tion to demonstrate neighborhood sup-
port and may submit a support letter from
the area homeowners association, accord-
ing to the staff report.
Ultimately, it will be the applicants
responsibility to provide sufcient support-
ing information to staff so a case for pro-
gram implementation can be made to the
director of Public Works, according to
Heaps staff report.
The citys parking permit program started
in 2005 and was last modied last year fol-
lowing the expansion of the Downtown
West residential parking permit area in the
Baywood neighborhood.
The areas are generally near what is called
parking impact generators such as business
districts, schools and ofce parks.
The citys Public Works Commission
voted last night that the modications be
adopted by the council at a future date.
City simplifies residential parking permit program
By Jason Dearen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Ofcials are study-
ing a temporary x for cracked seismic safe-
ty bolts on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay
Bridge that could allow the new span to
open as scheduled on Labor Day, but they
said Wednesday a decision had not yet been
made on the work.
At this point, members of the Toll Bridge
Program Oversight Committee said, the
longer-term repairs were still scheduled to
be nished by Dec. 10.
Engineers were looking at a shimming
idea installing steel plates into the area
of the broken bolts to help prevent move-
ment during an earthquake, said Steven
Heminger, an oversight committee member.
The temporary x would be in place while
long-term repairs occurred, he said.
The cracked bolts have derailed the open-
ing of the eastern span and led to millions
of dollars in cost overruns on the $6.4 bil-
lion project.
The existing bridge, built in the 1930s, is
not considered earthquake-safe, and years of
cost overruns and construction and design
delays have plagued the new project that had
been scheduled to open on Labor Day with
great fanfare.
The current problems started in March,
when 32 of the 17-foot-long bolts that
secure earthquake shock absorbers to the
deck of the bridge were tightened.
Tests found that hydrogen had infected the
bolts, which were also made of poor quality
steel, making them brittle. When tightened
to high tension, the brittleness gave way,
causing the cracks.
An investigative report faulted all entities
involved in the design and construction of
the bolts the California Department of
Transportation, bridge engineers at T.Y. Lin
International/Moffatt & Nichol Design; and
contractor American Bridge-Fluor Joint
Venture.
For example, investigators found that
construction crews left the faulty bolts in
open ducts for ve years, exposing them for
long periods to rainwater and marine air.
Investigators also faulted all parties for
choosing to subject the bolts to hot-dip
galvanizing, a corrosion protection
process that exposed them to the high heat
that can increase brittleness and suscepti-
bility to hydrogen.
Temporary fix could allow Bay Bridge to open

Prison chief: Hunger strike will harm cause
SACRAMENTO Inmates who are refusing meals to
protest the states solitary connement program for gang
leaders are harming their own cause, Californias prison chief
said Wednesday in his rst comments on the subject.
The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation began a
program last year that lets inmates with ties to gangs reduce
isolation sentences that can last for decades.
That program has stopped since the protest began,
Corrections Secretary Jeffrey Beard said. Nor is the depart-
ment likely to make more concessions to inmates, he said
while attending a prisons oversight hearing. About 30,000

Brown drops appeal of three-drug execution
SAN FRANCISCO California prison ofcials say they
wont appeal to the state Supreme Court a ruling invalidating
the states three-drug cocktail means of execution.
Instead, a California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation spokeswoman said the state would continue
developing an execution protocol that uses a single drug.
Several other states have turned to the single-drug execution
in recent years in response to legal challenges. A CDCR
spokeswoman said Gov. Jerry Brown ordered prison ofcials
to continue working on the single drug method rather than
ghting to keep the three-drug cocktail in place.

WASHINGTON The defeat of a
student loan bill in the Senate on
Wednesday clears the way for fresh
negotiations to restore lower rates,
but lawmakers are racing the clock
before millions of students return to
campus next month to nd borrowing
terms twice as high as when school let
out.
Republicans and a few Democrats
blocked a White House-backed pro-
posal that would have restored 3.4 per-
cent interest rates on subsidized
Stafford loans for one more year. The
failed stopgap measure was designed
to give lawmakers time to take up
comprehensive college affordability
legislation and dodge 6.8 percent
interest rates on new loans.
Without congressional action in the
coming weeks, the increase could
mean an extra $2,600 for an average
student returning to campus this fall,
according to Congress Joi nt
Economic Committee.
Lets just extend this for one year. I
dont think thats too much to ask,
said Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin of
Iowa, chairman of the Senate Health,
Education, Labor and Pensions
Committee.
It proved too much for a bipartisan
group of lawmakers, led by Sen. Joe
Manchin, D-W.Va. They favored a
compromise now and joined with
Republicans in using a procedural
roadblock to stop the one-year patch.
This plan merely kicks the can
down the road for 12 more months,
said Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., who
worked with Manchin and Sen. Angus
King, I-Maine, on a deal that linked
interest rates to financial markets.
Were going to vote on a 3.4 percent
extension, kicking the can down the
road and not nding a solution,
The Senate vote was 51-49, nine
votes short of the 60 votes needed to
move forward.
The Republican-favored plan that
Manchin helped to write was not con-
sidered for a vote in the Democratic-
controlled Senate.
But that proposal was the subject of
an evening session among leaders
from both parties about next steps.
Without serious negotiations
between the parties and without an
agreement within a fractured
Democratic caucus, students would
face higher costs when they begin
repaying their loans after graduation.
Lawmakers pledged to return to nego-
tiations to avert that, and aides were
gauging what was possible given the
narrow window before Congress
breaks again for the August recess.
Today our nations students once
again wait in vain for relief, said Sen.
Tom Udall, D-N.M. They expected
more of us and I share their disap-
pointment.

Construction equipment
topples over near Bair Island
A large piece of construction machinery fell into a
dredged area of the San Francisco Bay near Bair Island on
Monday afternoon.
A piling machine with a 60-foot mast overturned on its
side while working to install a 48-inch sewage transmis-
sion pipeline at about 4 p.m., South Bayside System
Authority Manager Dan Child said.
No one was injured in the incident, Child said.
The mast landed outside the construction zone, but did not
come in contact with sensitive habitat in the marsh area of
Bair Island, Child said.
Asmall amount of diesel fuel leaked onto soil, which was
cleaned up and removed from the site, he said.
On Tuesday afternoon crews were continuing to work to
remove the fallen equipment and work on the pipeline
replacement had been temporarily suspended.
The pipeline installation near Bair Island is part of a
$45.5 million project to replace a portion of aging sewer
main that runs between Menlo Park and a treatment facility
in Redwood Shores.
Amber Alert issued for missing 21-month-old girl
The California Highway Patrol has issued an Amber Alert
for a 21-month-old girl who was abducted in East Oakland
Wednesday morning.
Daphne Viola Webb was taken from a
car parked at Gazzalis Supermarket at
7838 International Blvd., according to
the CHP.
The child was reported missing at
11:09 a.m. Police are responding to that
area, a police spokeswoman said.
Webb is described as black, with black
hair and brown eyes. She was last seen
wearing orange pajamas with pink
hearts, according to the CHP.
The suspect is a light-skinned black female, CHP ofcials
said.
Anyone with information on the girls whereabouts is
asked to call Oakland police at (510) 238-3641 or 911.
S.F. police search for person
who poisoned meatballs
San Francisco police are asking for the publics help in
tracking down who left hundreds of meatballs laced with rat
poison in areas where dogs could nd them.
The meatballs were found scattered in the citys Twin
Peaks and Diamond Heights neighborhoods last week and at
least one dog was sickened.
Most of the meatballs were collected and disposed of by
residents.
Police conrmed Tuesday that the meatballs were cooked
with rat poison.

SAN FRANCISCO As soon as
Asiana Flight 214 came to a stop after
a crash landing that tore off the tail
and sent the Boeing 777 spinning
down the runway at San Francisco
International Airport, the lead ight
attendant asked pilots if she should
begin evacuating passengers. The
answer: No.
With dust swirling in the cabin, the
hundreds on board stayed in their
seats. It wasnt until 90 seconds later,
when a ight attendant noticed re on
the outside of the plane, that emer-
gency slides were deployed and pas-
sengers began streaming out of the
plane.
Two of the planes eight slides mal-
functioned, however, opening inside
the cabin and pinning two ight atten-
dants underneath. Meantime, the re
that started when fuel leaked onto a
hot engine started spreading and ight
attendants and the ight crew battled
the ames as reghters and rescuers
arrived.
National Transportation Safety
Board Chairwoman Deborah Hersman
recounted the sequence of events at a
news conference Wednesday. She said
it was pieced together based on inter-
views with six of the 12 ight atten-
dants.
We dont know what the pilots were
thinking, but I can tell you, in previ-
ous accidents there have been crews
that dont evacuate, she said. They
wait for other vehicles to come to get
the passengers out safely. Certainly if
theres an awareness that theres a re
aboard the aircraft, that is a very seri-
ous issue. There was a re, and then
the evacuation began.
She said part of the crash investiga-
tion will involve deciphering if prop-
er procedures were followed during the
evacuation.
Hindsight is 20/20, Hersman
said. We all have a perspective thats
different than the people involved in
this.
The plane, carrying 307 passengers
and crew, crashed Saturday. When the
tail was peeled off after the plane
clipped the seawall at the end of the
runway, three of four ight attendants
seated in the rear were ejected from the
plane, Hersman said. All survived and
were among the six ight attendants
who remain hospitalized.
Two people died in the crash and
scores were injured, though most not
seriously.
The flight attendants, especially
lead attendant Lee Yoon Hye, have
been cited for their professionalism
during the evacuation. Lee and the
other ve attendants not hospitalized,
one of whom was in a wheelchair, held
a brief, emotional news conference
Wednesday.
Asiana crash evacuation was delayed

were thinking, but I can tell you, in previous accidents
there have been crews that dont evacuate. ...They wait

WASHINGTON The amount and
type of ying experience rst ofcers
also known as co-pilots must have to
qualify to y for an airline will be sig-
nicantly increased under new regula-
tions announced Wednesday by the
Federal Aviation Administration.
The regulations require rst ofcers to
have at least 1,500 hours of ying expe-
rience. Airline captains are already
required to have at least 1,500 hours.
Previously, rst ofcers were only
required to have 250 hours of ight
time.
The rule also requires rst ofcers to
have an aircraft-type rating, which
involves additional training and testing
specic to the type of airplane they y.
The rule gives first officers a
stronger foundation of aeronautical
knowledge and experience before they
y for an air carrier, FAAAdministrator
Michael Huerta said.
The new regulations are required under
a sweeping aviation safety law enacted
in 2010 in response to the crash of a
regional airliner near Buffalo, N.Y. ,
that killed 50 people. The crash was
blamed on pilot error.
The regulations are a victory for the
family members of victims of that
crash, who dedicated countless hours
over the last four and a half years, rst
to lobby Congress for passage of the
law and later to push the Obama admin-
istration to carry through with the regu-
lations despite industry opposition.
The law required the FAA to imple-
ment a series of safety regulations.
Changes to the rst-ofcer qualica-
tions, which had remained unaltered for
many years, are considered among the
most important. Two years ago, the
FAA adopted regulations also required
under the safety law that set new poli-
cies governing airline pilot work
schedules aimed at preventing danger-
ous errors made by tired or overworked
pilots.
The question of pilot experience is
one of the issues raised in the investi-
gation of the crash landing of Asiana
Airlines Flight 214 in San Francisco on
Saturday. The Asiana pilot ying the
plane, Lee Gang-guk, had nearly
10,000 hours of ying experience, but
was transitioning to a new type of
plane. He had recently received his type
rating and was about halfway through
his post-rating, real-world training.

Boston Marathon bombing
suspect pleads not guilty
By Denise Lavoie and Jay Lindsay
BOSTON His arm in a cast and his face swollen, a
blase-looking Dzhokhar Tsarnaev pleaded not guilty
Wednesday in the Boston Marathon bombing in a seven-
minute proceeding that marked his first appearance in
public since his capture in mid-April.
As survivors of the bombing looked on, Tsarnaev, 19,
gave a small, lopsided smile to his two sisters upon
arriving in the courtroom. He appeared to have a jaw
injury and there was swelling around his left eye and
cheek.
Leaning into the microphone, he told a federal judge,
Not guilty in his Russian accent and said it over and
over as the charges were read. Then he was led away in
handcuffs, making a kissing gesture toward his family
with his lips. One of his sisters sobbed loudly, resting
her head on a woman seated next to her.

SANFORD, Fla. After taking less
than a week to call 18 witnesses,
George Zimmermans defense attor-
neys rested their case Wednesday in the
neighborhood watch volunteers sec-
ond-degree murder trial.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys
planned to work out the jury instruc-
tions before they present closing argu-
ments Thursday. Judge Debra Nelson
said the case could be sent to the six
jurors as early as Friday.
Zimmerman never testified. But
jurors saw repeated video recordings of
Zimmerman telling his side of the
story to investigators. He claims that
he shot Trayvon Martin, who was
unarmed, in self-defense while the teen
straddled and punched him.
Defense attorney Mark OMara told
reporters that Zimmerman wanted to
testify but his attorneys felt he had
already told his version of events in
multiple police interviews played for
jurors.
I think he really wanted to be able
to interact with this jury and say to
them This is what I did and this is why
I did it. And as importantly, this is
what was happening to me at the time
that I decided to do what I had to do,
OMara said. So in that sense, yes, I
think he wanted to tell his story.

an aircraft carrier for the rst time
Wednesday, showcasing the militarys

It is not often that you get a chance

Police: Quebec train
crash death toll now at 20
LAC-MEGANTIC, Quebec Canadian
ofcials told distraught families Wednesday
that 30 people still missing after the ery
crash of a runaway oil train are all presumed
dead.
Along with 20 bodies found, that would
put the death toll from Saturdays derailment
and explosions in this lakeside town at 50.
Hours before that somber meeting, the
head of the U.S. railway company whose
train crashed made his rst visit to Lac-
Megantic since the disaster, amid jeers from
residents and criticism from politicians,
including the Quebec premier.
The rail chief blamed the engineer for fail-
ing to set the brakes properly before the
Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway train
hurtled down a seven-mile (11-kilometer)
incline, derailed and ignited. All but one of
the 73 cars was carrying oil, and at least ve
exploded.
Edward Burkhardt, president and CEO of
parent company Rail World Inc., said the
engineer had been suspended without pay
and was under police control.

CAIRO Egypts military-backed
government tightened a crackdown on
the Muslim Brotherhood on
Wednesday, ordering the arrest of its
revered leader in a bid to choke off the
groups campaign to reinstate
President Mohammed Morsi one week
after an army-led coup.
The Brotherhood denounced the war-
rants for the arrest of Mohammed
Badie and nine other leading Islamists
for inciting violence Monday that left
dozens dead, saying dictatorship is
back and vowing it will never work
with the interim rulers.
Leaders of the Brotherhood are
believed to be taking refuge some-
where near a continuing sit-in by its
supporters at the Rabaah al-Adawiya
Mosque in eastern Cairo, but it is not
clear if Badie also is there.
The Brotherhood is outraged by the
overthrow of Morsi, one of its own,
and demands nothing less than his
release from detention and his rein-
statement as president.
Security agencies have already jailed
ve leaders of the Brotherhood, includ-
ing Badies powerful deputy, Khairat
el-Shaiter, and shut down its media out-
lets.
The prosecutor generals ofce said
Badie, another deputy, Mahmoud
Ezzat, senior member Mohammed El-
Beltagy and popular preacher Safwat
Hegazy are suspected of instigating
the clashes with security forces outside
a Republican Guard building near the
mosque that killed 54 people most
of them Morsi supporters in the
worst bloodshed since he was ousted.
The Islamists have accused the
troops of gunning down protesters,
while the military blamed armed back-
ers of Morsi for attempting to storm a
military building.
The warrants highlight the armed
forces zero-tolerance policy toward
the Brotherhood, which was banned
under authoritarian leader Hosni
Mubarak.
This just signals that dictatorship
is back, said Brotherhood spokesman
Ahmed Aref. We are returning to what
is worse than Mubaraks regime,
which wouldnt dare to issue an arrest
warrant of the general leader of the
Muslim Brotherhood.
The Brotherhoods refusal to work
with the new interim leaders under-
scored the difculties they face in try-
ing to stabilize Egypt and bridge the
deep ssures that have opened in the
country during Morsis year in ofce.
Morsi has not been seen since the
July 3 coup, but Foreign Ministry
spokesman Badr Abdel-Atti gave the
rst ofcial word on him in days, say-
ing he is in a safe place and is being
treated in a very dignied manner.
No charges have been leveled against
him, Abdel-Atti said.
For his own safety and for the safe-
ty of the country, it is better to keep
him. ... Otherwise, consequences will
be dire, he added.
Badie had appeared at the Rabaa al-
Adawiya rally Friday, a day after an ear-
lier arrest warrant against him was
issued, also accusing him of inciting
violence. On Wednesday night, he
delivered a message to the crowd
through a senior Brotherhood leader,
an indication that he didnt want to
make an appearance and endanger his
security.
Egypt escalates crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood
By Bradley Clapper
WASHINGTON While the Obama administration
throws its support behind Egypts military, some mem-
bers of Congress are looking at withholding some or all
of Americas annual $1.5 billion aid package if a civilian
government isnt quickly restored.
Without the administrations support, thats a high hur-
dle. But after watching the violence spiral in recent days
in Cairo and elsewhere, more lawmakers are questioning
whether the Egyptian militarys ouster of Mohammed
Morsis Muslim Brotherhood-led government last week
must be dened as a coup and how the U.S. should lever-
age the only signicant element of inuence it has in
Egypt.
The administration insisted Monday that it wont with-
hold funds from Egypts army after its second takeover of
a civilian government in the past 29 months. Most of the
money goes to the military under an arrangement U.S.
leaders have honored since Egypts 1979 peace treaty
with Israel. Despite rocky relations since the ouster of
longtime autocrat and longtime U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak
in February 2011, the U.S. has continued to nancially
support the institution it sees as Egypts guarantor of sta-
bility.
Some in Congress say the latest military action should
change the calculation because it unseated a democratical-
ly elected president.
We need to suspend aid to the new government until it
does in fact schedule elections and put in place a process
that comes up with a new constitution, Sen. Carl Levin,
D-Mich., chairman of the Senate Armed Services
Committee, told reporters Monday. He said hed support
such a measure, but acknowledged it would be unlikely to
gain majority support in Congress.

Clarification on Caltrain
bridge replacement project
Editor,
A recent letter to the Daily Journal
raised concerns about Caltrains $30
million bridge replacement project in
San Mateo (Something is wrong with
this picture in the July 9 edition). The
reader asserted that our latest effort
would waste the money previously
spent on a stabilization project carried
out in 2012.
This is emphatically not the case.
This project was carefully thought out
and phased to be constructed in stages
as grant funding was made available.
The four bridges in question are each
more than 100 years old and in need of
replacement. Caltrain began designing
replacement structures for the bridges
in 2008, but the questions raised by
high-speed rail plans in the Peninsula
forced us to delay our project. Since it
was not clear at the time how high-
speed rail would interact with Caltrain
operations, we chose to hold off on
replacing the bridges to ensure the nal
project would be compatible with high-
speed rails needs.
However, retrotting the aging struc-
tures was still critically important, so
we carried out work to stabilize the
underground foundations of the bridges
by adding abutments and steel sup-
ports. The reinforced foundations will
now act as the base for the new struc-
tures so the work carried out in
2012 actually complements the current
bridge replacement project. While there
will be a nominal cost for removing
steel that cannot be incorporated into
the new design, the foundation work
carried out in 2012 was necessary to
ensure the safe operations of Caltrain in
the interim period.

International Airport
Editor,
Whenever events involve San
Francisco International Airport, the
media disregards the fact that it is not
in San Francisco, whereby the public
not familiar with the area are led to
believe it to be in San Francisco. True,
the airport belongs to the city and
county of San Francisco. However, it is
actually on the Peninsula, in the county
of San Mateo bordered by South San
Francisco, San Bruno and Millbrae.
Highway 101 between South San
Francisco and Millbrae traverses
through the western area of the airport
property in parallel with the San Bruno
city limit. Along with other functions
and services for those affected by the
recent crash of Asiana Flight 214
included the San Mateo County
Coroner and also the sheriff.
Accordingly, heroism in the involved
services involved people in San Mateo
County, for whom recognition is due.

Canepas guest perspective
Editor,
As a history buff, I was quite
impressed with David Canepas guest
perspective, How do you celebrate the
Fourth of July? in the July 4 edition of
the Daily Journal. I had no idea David
was also a fan of history and thus able
to write the beautiful prose he did on
Americas July 4 holiday and tradi-
tions.
I discovered, however, when doing
some reading later in the evening, that
four of Mr. Canepas six paragraphs
came from a website:
www.history.com. Correspondence
with David conrmed the site as a
major source for his column.
Uncertain how to cite the source in
his composition, Mr. Canepa began his
second paragraph with, According to
historians. His solution, unfortunately,
did not adequately inform the reader
because what follows is composed by
someone else. While it can be unclear
how to use material from a website in
ones own writing, particularly if no
author is cited, the best practice is to
credit the website in the same manner
one would credit an author. Mr.
Canepa, I know, regrets he did not do
this.
By the way, a point of interest not in
Mr. Canepas column that folks may
nd interesting is this years calendar:
It is the same as it was in 1776. When
Congress opened their session July 1
and read again the Lee Resolution, it
was a Monday. July 2 and 3, Tuesday
and Wednesday, they debated the word-
ing of the Declaration of Independence
as drafted by the Committee of Five.
When they sent the nal document to
the printer, it was July 4, a Thursday.

Letters to the editor
Riverside Press-Enterprise
G
overnment should not set
salary decisions on autopi-
lot. State and local elected
ofcials should avoid employee con-
tract provisions that link pay with
what other agencies offer. That prac-
tice mindlessly ratchets up pay with
no regard for available resources, need
or any other practical consideration.
The state announced last week that
California Highway Patrol ofcers are
getting a 5.9 percent pay raise this
year. Four percent of the increase
goes directly to higher salaries, while
the remaining 1.9 percent goes to
prefund health benets for workers
when they retire. The state estimates
the pay hike will cost taxpayers
$44.4 million this scal year for rank
and le union members.
But the raise does not stem from
any review of performance, pay
scales, living expenses, ination or
any other factor. Instead, Highway
Patrol ofcers will collect more
money just because police elsewhere
in California recently got raises. The
CHPs state contract ties ofcers
salary levels to what police take
home in Los Angeles County and the
cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Oakland and San Diego. Pay at those
agencies has climbed, so Highway
Patrol ofcers will receive more, too.
Basing state pay on unrelated local
government decisions sets a bizarre
benchmark. Why should the state,
with vastly different resources,
responsibilities and priorities than
local government, link its employ-
ees pay to whatever cities and coun-
ties agree to offer? Such an approach
takes responsibility for state spend-
ing decisions out of legislators
hands, and gives it to local govern-
ments who are focused on their
own considerations and not the states
labor contracts. Abdicating control of
spending to outside bodies hardly
constitutes careful scal management.
The Highway Patrol contract is
hardly the only public labor agree-
ment that ties pay to what other agen-
cies offer, of course. City and county
labor pacts often link salaries to
those in neighboring jurisdictions, a
mechanism that continually ratchets
up pay regardless of available
nances. San Bernardino offers an
especially egregious example: That
city wrote its comparative salary for-
mula into the city charter, which led
to the city handing out nearly $1 mil-
lion in raises to police and reghters
in March, even as the city sought
bankruptcy protection.
Such automatic contract provisions
are reckless policy, and state and
local governments should reject labor
agreements that include them. Voters
elect ofcials to oversee public
nances, not to cede control of scal
decisions to outside groups and arbi-
trary formulas.
End costly auto-pilot raises in government
Girl n the hood
W
ho knew my column photo was so shrouded
in mystery? Quite a stretch of time had
passed when it happened again just last
week.
Ive always wondered if you had a hood on in your
column photo, came the query.
Afew things about the person making the observa-
tion Id just been introduced, she was pretty
delightful and she was in no way joking. In other
words, it was time for an honest reply instead of some
borderline inappropriate remark about theme dressing
for the Zimmerman trial. Besides, this photo is old
old enough that this bob length has come, gone,
flirted with red, toyed with bleached highlights than
left me looking like an
Orange County housewife
and come back again. So
exactly how long had she
been thinking I was taking
a page from overseas jour-
nalists and covering my
hair?
Actually, you are not
the first person who has
ever said that to me, I
replied, much to her sur-
prise.
When the photo was first
snapped so many moons ago, an intrepid high school
intern also raised the hood issue. You look like the
evil senator in the Star Wars movies, I remember him
saying. Thats right. Another chance at theme dress-
i ng.
Then the sports editor questioned the hood.
Its my hair! I would explain. Its the
Photoshopping!
Then time passed and I forgot its not as if I
waste time staring at my own mug until the recent
conversation. With that in mind, let me assure any-
body else out there who ponders the presence of head-
wear in my photo that it is all in the eye of the
beholder.
Of course, the mysterious hood is not the only ques-
tion the photo has sparked.
Afew years back, a hospital media relations rep
encountered me at a groundbreaking.
Oh my god, you look great! he said, as my head
puffed up a bit (note to self: will need to buy a bigger
hood).
Then the kicker You lost a lot of weight!
Really? I dont think so. In fact, I probably put on
a pound or two, I said.
No, you look like you lost a lot of weight, he
repeated. Emphasis on the a lot which meant I did-
nt look like Id simply sworn off doughnuts for a
week. This means he thought I was once a whole lot
larger, which is fine if I had been. But I wasnt .
Like those with assumptions about the hood, I won-
dered exactly how big he thought I once was. Curvy?
Pleasantly plump? Growing into a couch?
Must be the photo. Not only does my hair look like
some sort of head shawl, I apparently appear rounder.
Well, they do say the camera adds 10 pounds.
On a related note, didnt that gentlemen know that
one isnt supposed to say things like that or, at the
very least, not persist when the recipient repeatedly
denies the clam?
Afriend once approached an industry colleague at an
event. The woman was wearing an empire waist dress
and, to my friends untrained eye, was sporting a bit
of a belly bump.
When are you due? he asked.
Im not, she said.
Apause and then he tried again. Are you sure?
The amazing thing was the lack of a slap.
He has since learned that the best politically correct
tactic is inquiring Is there anything new?
But I suppose theres no polite equivalent of asking
without really asking if someone is wearing a hood or
yo-yo dieting. Maybe thats also why Ive kept the
same photo so many years its apparent shoddy
semblance allows me a little bit of cloak and dagger.
Besides, like they say, a picture is worth a thousand
words. Funny what some of those words turn out to
be.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK The stock market
turned quiet Wednesday and just man-
aged to notch a fth straight day of
gains.
Even the release of minutes from the
latest meeting of the Federal Reserve
didnt jolt stocks.
Two major U.S. stock indexes were
barely changed. The Standard & Poors
500 index rose a fraction of a point to
1,652.62. The Dow Jones industrial
average eased 8.68 points, or 0.1 per-
cent, to 15,291.66.
Every move the Fed has made in
recent months has been analyzed.
Wednesdays minutes from the June
policy meeting were no exception.
But the minutes offered no surprises.
The report showed many Fed members
want to see further job gains before
cutting back on the central banks
stimulus measures. It also showed
some divisions among ofcials over
when the Fed should slow that stimu-
lus.
I dont think the minutes offered
anything that would change (my) view
of the markets direction or the Feds
intentions, said Quincy Krosby, mar-
ket strategist for Prudential Annuities.
The Fed has been buying $85 billion
worth of bonds each month. That has
helped keep interest rates at historic
lows and spurred borrowing and
investing.
The small gain in the S&P 500
Wednesday kept alive its winning
streak. The index has now risen ve
days, its best streak in two months.
Investors have become more condent
about the economy after the strong
June jobs report. The index is up 2.9
percent in July after falling 1.5 per-
cent in June, its rst monthly decline
since October.
In another sign of condence, small-
company stocks continued their surge.
The Russell 2000, which represents
2,000 publicly traded companies with
small market valuations, rose 2.4
points, or 0.2 percent, to a record
1,020.42.
The Nasdaq, meanwhile, is at its
highest level since October 2000. The
Nasdaq gained 16.5 points, or 0.5 per-
cent, to 3,520.76. Despite its rise, the
index would still have to rise 43 per-
cent to match its all-time high of
5,048 reached March 10, 2000, the
peak of the dot-com bubble.
Late Wednesday afternoon,
Bernanke said the economy still needs
support from the Feds low-rate poli-
cies. Speaking in Cambridge, Mass.,
to the National Bureau of Economic
Research, Bernanke noted that unem-
ployment remains high and that high-
er taxes and federal spending cuts are
weighing on growth.
It was Bernankes latest effort to
stress to investors that even after the
Fed has begun to slow bond purchases,
it will continue to stimulate the econo-
my.
Stock index futures rose as Bernanke
spoke. The S&P index futures were up
eight points, or 0.5 percent, at 1,656
as of 5:40 p.m. Eastern Daylight
Time.
Investors are watching earnings
results for the second quarter, which
ended 10 days ago. Analysts expect
earnings growth to average 2.8 per-
cent for companies in the S&P 500,
according to data from S&P Capital IQ.
The expected growth isnt spectacu-
lar and that makes it more likely that
companies could beat analysts esti-
mates, said Eric Wiegand, senior port-
folio manager at U.S. Bank Wealth
Management.
We have very low expectations,
Wiegand said.
Family Dollar Stores was a case in
point. The discount retailer said
Wednesday that its quarterly earnings
fell 3 percent. But the results topped
analysts estimates, and the stock
surged $4.55, or 7.1 percent, to
$68.50, making it the biggest gainer
in the S&P 500.
Dollar General was the second-
biggest gainer in the index, rising
$2.98, or 5.75 percent, to $54.78.
Stocks end little changed after Fed minutes
By Larry Neumeister
and Michael Liedtke
NEWYORK Apple Inc. milked the pop-
ularity of its iTunes store to form an illegal
cartel with publishers to raise electronic
book prices, a federal judge decided in a case
swayed by the words of the late Steve Jobs.
Wednesdays ruling by U.S. District Judge
Denise Cote in Manhattan sided with gov-
ernment regulators contention that Apple
joined ve major book publishers to gang
up Amazon.com in a price-xing conspira-
cy that caused consumers to pay more for
electronic books.
Determined to protect one of the worlds
most beloved brands, Apple has steadfastly
denied it did anything wrong, even as the
book publishers involved in the case set-
tled to avoid a trial. Apple didnt waver from
its insistence of innocence after Cote drew
an unattering portrait of the iPhone and
iPad maker in her 160-page ruling.
The Cupertino, Calif., company vowed to
appeal the decision, extending a legal
odyssey that could wind up in the U.S.
Supreme Court.
Its unclear whether the initial outcome
will have a dramatic impact on the pricing
of e-books, which continue to supplant
printed copies as more people buy tablets
such as the iPad and other devices such as
Amazons Kindle.
The effect on consumers will be negligi-
ble, predicted Ankur Kapoor, an antitrust
specialist for Constantine Cannon in New
York.
The earlier settlements with book pub-
lishers were designed to encourage more
discounting. But that hasnt happened,
even at Amazon, which had unnerved pub-
lishers by selling e-book versions of popu-
lar hardcover titles for $9.99 before the
April 2010 release of Apples iPad.
Its a discounting practice that Apple and
the publishers sought to eliminate leading
up to the iPads debut, according to the
antitrust lawsuit led last year by the U.S.
Justice Department and 33 state attorneys
general.
Apples iTunes store, where hundreds of
millions of consumers already were regular-
ly buying music, videos and applications,
provided a powerful platform to undermine
Amazons pricing system, the government
contended in arguments that ultimately con-
vinced Cote, who presided over the two-
and-half-week trial.
Apple seized the moment and brilliantly
played its hand, Cote said. She wrote that
Apples deals with publishers caused some
e-book prices to rise 50 percent or more vir-
tually overnight.
New York judge: Apple colluded to raise e-book prices
First Apple computer
sells for nearly $388,000
NEWYORK An original Apple computer from 1976
has sold at auction for nearly $388,000.
Known as the Apple 1, it was one of the rst Apple com-
puters ever built.
It sold on Monday for $387,750 at a Christies online-
only auction. The auction house did not disclose the name
of the buyer.
The seller was a retired school psychologist from
Sacramento.
The Apple 1 was built by Steve Wozniak. Vintage Apple
products have become a hot item since Steve Jobs death
in October 2011. Jobs joined forces with Wozniak to build
computer prototypes in a California garage.
Another Apple 1 was sold in May for a record $671,400
by a German auction house. It broke a previous record of
$640,000 set in November.
Icahn to seek court
appraisal of $24.4B Dell deal
SAN FRANCISCO Billionaire investor Carl Icahn
will ask a judge to assess the fairness of a proposed $24.4
billion acquisition of struggling personal computer maker
Dell in his latest attempt to wrangle a higher price from a
group of buyers that includes company CEO Michael Dell.
The legal move outlined Wednesday may end up being
one of the last gasps in Icahns crusade to prove that
Michael Dell and other investors led by Silver Lake
Partners are trying to snap up the worlds third largest PC
maker at a steep discount to its long-term value.
Icahn has backed up his belief by accumulating a nearly
9 percent stake in Dell Inc. in hopes that he could ush out
a deal that would be worth more than the $13.65 per share
that Michael Dell and Silver Lake have agreed to pay for a
Round Rock, Texas company that has fallen on hard times
as more consumers and companies buy smartphones and
tablets instead of laptop and desktop machines.

WARRIORS MAKE ANOTHER MOVE: TEAM PICKS UP MARK JACKSONS OPTION FOR THE 2014-15 SEASON >> PAGE 12
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
On the 85th pitch of the afternoon,
Belmont-Redwood Shores superstar ace Sean
Lee completed what can only be describe as
The Trifecta.
Thats three District 52 titles in three differ-
ent age categories the last three seasons for
the boys from Belmont-Redwood Shores.
And just like they had done in 14 previous
district tournament games, BRS accomplished
the District 52 Majors championship is domi-
nating fashion.
Sure, the nal score is important and the
team from Redwood City East, established in
2012 but in their rst Majors nal, put up a
ght and a half by seizing a 4-0 lead on a grand
slam. Ultimately though, Redwood Shores
roared back and outslugged RWC East 11-4.
But to put Wednesdays win in proper per-
spective, one had to soak in the image in
right-centereld when manager Rudy Lopez
and his team posed for hundreds of photos
holding all three of their championship ban-
ners. In what has to be one of the districts
most dominant runs, the team from Belmont-
Redwood Shores, in winning all three of its
titles, went a perfect 15-0.
The core of this team has been together for
four years now, Lopez said. And this was our
goal from the beginning, to get to this point.
Hopefully it continues. This team, they win a
lot. Theyve always got the mentality that,
its about the next step. The next step. Theyre
a bunch of nice of kids, quiet kids, that enjoy
the game.
It feels great, Lee said. Three times in a
row. It just feels good to get it again. Home
eld, it feels nice to win it ourselves.
Considering the tear Belmont-Redwood
Shores was on coming into the championship
game, it was obvious Redwood City pitching

The District 52 10-11 All-Star
Tournament championship game between
Pacifica American and Belmont-Redwood
Shores was everything a title game should
be: clutch pitching, fantastic defense and
plenty of drama.
In the end, it was Pacica Americans
Tyler Shaw who got to live every kids Little
League dream: coming through with the
game-ending hit.
With the score tied at 2, Pacica American
loaded the bases with one out in the bottom
of the eighth inning. After taking a rst-
pitch strike, Shaw laced a single to left to
drive in Spencer Karalius to give Pacica
American a 3-2, walkoff win and the District
52 10-11 championship at Kiwanis Field at
Red Morton Park in Redwood City
Wednesday evening.
I was just trying to put the bat on the ball
and get it out of the ineld, Shaw said, who
admitted he was looking forward to getting
a chance to be the hero.
It was exciting. I was happy.
The win gives this Pacica American team
back-to-back district titles. A bulk of this
10-11 squad comprised last years District
52 9-10 championship team.
The ones who went through this before
last year were pretty laid back, said
Pacica American coach Steve Falk. There

W
hen the Belmont-Redwood
Shores Little League president
asked Tom McGuire if he was
ready to manage the 10-11 All-Star team in
the District 52 tournament, McGuire said,
Im not overwhelmed at all.
Its one thing to try and win a district title.
Its another to do it while battling cancer, a
subject he isnt shy about sharing.
I tell everybody (about my cancer),
McGuire said. I vent it out. Ill just tell them.
It makes me feel better. Id rather just be open
with it.
There was no doubt he was the man for the
job. He took a Cubs
team comprised of
mostly 11-year-olds
and played them
against mostly 12-
year-olds in the Majors
Division the divi-
sion that nds itself on
national television in
Williamsport, Pa.,
home of the Little
League World Series
where the Cubs
advanced to the post-
season tournament
championship game.
In the 10-11 All-Star tournament, McGuire
helped rally his team from a second-round
loss to six straight wins including
Belmont-Redwood Shores 12-4 win over
Pacica American in Game 1 of the 10-11
championship series Tuesday. There would be
no storybook ending for Belmont-Redwood
Shores, hhowever, as Pacica American
scored a run in the bottom of the eighth
inning for a 3-2 championship-clinching
win Wednesday evening.
What makes his battle even more remark-
able is the fact that modern medicine and sci-
ence are so advanced that McGuire had surgery
and missed only one game in the dugout
and the only reason he didnt sit in the dugout
was to avoid any complications.
The surgery was done by a robot,
McGuire said. The doctor was 15 feet away
controlling the arm. I spent one night in the
hospital. I got a lot of emails from parents
so thrilled to see me out there (so soon after
surgery).
The amazingly quick recovery has allowed
McGuire to enjoy the ride through the play-
offs with a team he started building four years
ago. The core of the team plays baseball near-
ly year round and have been aiming for dis-
trict championships since then. McGuire said
the camaraderie fostered over the years makes
the appearance in the championship series
even that much sweeter.
All of which helps in his recovery because
he doesnt have to think about when hes
between the lines.
SAN FRANCISCO Matt Cain said he felt
normal. He just didnt get normal results.
Former Giants prospect Zack Wheeler
pitched seven sharp innings, Marlon Byrd
homered again and the New York Mets com-
pleted their rst sweep in San Francisco since
1994 with a 7-2 win Wednesday.
Cain (5-6) lasted less than an inning for the
rst time in his career, giving up three runs
on two hits and three walks while getting just
two outs. He is 0-3 with a 6.38 ERAin his last
ve starts.
We needed a chance to win it and I wasnt
giving them an opportunity right there,
Cain said. I was walking guys. They got a
couple of hits they needed and that was it.
Cains home ERArose to 5.94, the second-
highest among qualifying NL pitchers and
more than double his 2.03 ERA in San
Francisco last year.
For the way we think we are as a group and
the team that we are, we feel like this is real-
l y, really funky, Cain said. To go out there
and have an outing like that is really disap-
pointing. Its kind of hard to swallow, but you
have to get over it.
The Giants dropped to 40-50, their rst
time 10 games under .500 since nishing 72-
90 in 2008, according to STATS. San
Francisco was swept at home for the rst time
since last July 27-29 against the Los Angeles
Dodgers.
Were not doing a lot of things right,
Cain said. It seems like everything is going
wrong. Were not pitching, were not elding
and were not getting hits. This is a pretty bad
skid and we need to nd a way out of it.
Wheeler used to have long talks with
Sergio Romo when they were teammates in
the Giants organization, and the young pitch-
er is good pals with Mike Kickham, who
matched his career high with 5 1-3 innings
the longest relief effort by a Giants pitcher
since 2008.
I was drafted by the Giants and obviously
wanted to pitch here, Wheeler said. I didnt
know how I was going to feel when I got out
there. Honestly, I was relaxed.
San Francisco dealt Wheeler to the Mets in
July 2011 for outelder Carlos Beltran. The
trip to San Francisco brought back memories
from his time with the Giants.

The lawyer for a San Francisco Giants pitcher
accused of touching a womans breast at a Las
Vegas hospital earlier this year says his client
was ill at the time.
Chad Gaudin, 30, was arrested Jan. 27 and
charged July 3 with open and gross lewdness.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal rst reported
Wednesday on the case, which wasnt publicized
back in January.
According to police reports, Gaudin appeared
drunk when he approached
a 23-year-old woman on a
gurney at Desert Springs
Hospital, told her she was
gorgeous and touched her
face and breast.
A paramedic who wit-
nessed the incident told
Gaudin to leave the woman
alone, but he refused, and
security staff held him
down until police arrived, the report said.
beverages and couldnt repeat his house num-
ber, where he lives, the same way twice in a

Gaudins lawyer, Dominic Gentile, issued a
statement saying his client denies any wrong-
doing and has been cooperating with authori-
ties.
Chad Gaudin was examined in the emergency
room of a local hospital while experiencing
symptoms believed to be related to acute renal
failure due to a condition known as rhabdomy-
olysis. The symptoms included confusion,
dehydration and loss of orientation and/or con-
sciousness, Gentile wrote. Common causes for
rhabdomyolysis include alcohol or drug use,
muscle strain, or crush injuries, according to the
National Institutes of Health.

PITTSBURGH Francisco Liriano scat-
tered four hits over seven innings, and the
Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Oakland Athletics
5-0 on Wednesday night.
Liriano (9-3) struck out six and walked one.
He trimmed his ERA to 2.00 as the Pirates
snapped a four-game losing streak. Pedro
Alvarez went 2 for 4 and drove in two runs for
Pittsburgh. Andrew McCutchen, Starling
Marte and Jose Tabata also had two hits each
as the Pirates beat Oakland for the rst time
ever.
Pittsburgh came in 0-11 against the As
since interleague play began in 1997 but
broke loose against Tommy Milone (8-8).
The Pirates worked quickly, following a near-
ly three-hour rain delay, and touched Milone
for three runs in the third inning. The streak-
ing Liriano carried them the rest of the way.
The veteran left-hander began the season on
the disabled list while recovering from a bro-
ken right (non-throwing) arm and didnt make
his debut until May 11. In less than a month
he has resurrected his career and surpassed All-
Star teammate Jeff Locke for the team lead in
victories with his fourth straight win.
Liriano tossed Pittsburghs only complete
game of the season in a 6-2 victory over the
Cubs last Friday then backed it up with seven
sharp innings against the AL West-leading
As. Mixing speeds artfully, the 29-year-old
Liriano allowed only two runners to reach
third base.
This marked the 24th time in 25 games a
Pittsburgh starter has allowed three earned
runs or fewer. The 13th shutout of the season
dropped the Pirates team ERAto 3.09, easily
the best in baseball.
All that stellar pitching, however, hadnt
led to wins of late. Pittsburgh began the night
just 2-6 in July and managed all of six runs dur-
ing a four-game slide that included a pair of 2-
1 losses to Oakland to open the series.
The Pirates busted out in the nale against
Milone, who was coming off a season-high 8
1-3 innings of work in a win over Kansas City
last week. He didnt make it out of the third
inning as Pittsburghs offense showed signs
of life.
Marte doubled leading off the third, and
Tabata followed with an RBI double.
McCutchen drove Tabata home with a single,
and Alvarez followed two batters later with a
single to center that scored McCutchen.
That was enough for Milone, who needed 80
pitches to get through 2 2-3 innings. He was
replaced by Pat Neshek, who made his rst
appearance since June 29.
The rust showed.
Pittsburgh cools off Oakland
By Antonio Gonzalez
OAKLAND Mark Jackson will not be a
lame duck coach next season.
The Golden State Warriors picked up the
option on Jacksons contract for the 2014-15
season on Wednesday. While both sides could
still work out a long-term extension this
summer, exercising the option at least
ensures Jackson wont enter the upcoming
season with an expiring contract.
Warriors general manager Bob Myers said
last month that he has had informal discus-
sions with Jacksons agent, Arn Tellem,
about an extension for the coach and didnt
anticipate contentious negotiations. Tellem
was Myers long-time mentor at the
Wasserman Media Group before Myers moved
into the Warriors front ofce two years ago.
Jackson, who doubles as an ordained min-
ister, has said all along
that his contract situation
will work itself out.
I trust in God. Im in
the best hands possible,
and I dont mean Arn
Tellem, he quipped after
the season ended in May.
Jacksons job certainly
seems secure.
He took the Warriors
from a 23-43 record during the lockout-short-
ened season his rst year to a 47-35 team that
earned the Western Conferences sixth seed
and eliminated Denver in the rst round of the
playoffs. The eventual conference champion
San Antonio Spurs knocked Golden State out
in six games in the second round.
The Warriors posted the second-highest
winning percentage improvement behind
Brooklyn. They also seemed positioned for
more success with point guard Stephen Curry
anchoring a collection of promising young
talent, and Jackson has so far found a way to
blend them all together perfectly.
The former New York Knicks and Indiana
Pacers point guard, among others, had worked
as a broadcaster before joining the Warriors
on June 6, 2011, with no coaching experi-
ence at any level.
Jackson has emphasized defense and
rebounding two areas where Golden State
had historically been weak during his
tenure. The Warriors have improved drastical-
ly in several of those categories, including
opponents eld goal percentage (fourth in
NBA last season; 20th in 2011-12), oppo-
nents 3-point percentage (seventh last sea-
son; 28th in 2011-12), defensive rebounding
(rst last season; 24th in 2011-12) and
rebounds per game (third last season; 28th in
2011-12).

A handful of youngsters from
Redwood City have kicked and
punched their town onto the nation-
al taekwondo scene.
Coach Greg Escolta of
Powerhouse Gym announced that
ve of his students earned medals at
the Junior Olympic Taekwondo
National Championships in
Chicago.
All tolled, Powerhouse took home
two gold, two silver and one bronze
medal following a Fourth of July
weekend trek to the windy city
where they squared off against 6,500
other taekwondo ghters.
All seven of them fought very
well, Escolta said. I told them if
they put in the work, they could all
be champions. And they did. They
gave me two hours a day, ve days a
week for three months. The people
of Redwood City should be proud
and all of California should be proud
as well.
Chief among the Powerhouse
efforts was that of Whitney Stuohn
and William Slanker.
Stuohn won gold as a 13-year-
old green belt.
She fought the whole year abover
her belt level because I wanted to
challenge her, Escolta said. And
winning gold was an amazing feat.
Slanker picked up his gold as a 13-
year-old yellow belt. Mackenzie
Phomas won silver as a 10-year-old
yellow belt. Other medalists were
Adonai Hydl (10, yellow belt) and
Alexander Slanker (8, yellow belt).
They just had a great day and
fought a great eld, Escolta said.
They went through the other com-
petitors like any other training day.
It was an awesome week for us, actu-
ally.
Escolta said that while all seven of
his ghters fought valiantly,
Stuohn and William Slanker stood
out because of their mental tough-
ness.
I think the younger ghters were
a little overwhelmed, Escolta said.
You have to remember these kids
have been training with me less
than a year. So, this might have
been a little overwhelming for
them. I think they (Stuohn and
Slanker) didnt have the jitters like
the other ones. They got to take
everything in and go through the
motions. That made them a little
more at ease.
Escolta said sending the seven
ghters (that included Maria Vargas
and Senai Hydl) was truly a commu-
nity effort. Many of the Powerhouse
Gym members donated money to
pay for ights and admission to the
Junior Olympics.
For Escolta now, its a matter of
looking forward to next years
championships.
We want to continue to text
them, Escolta said. Some kids,
when they nd success, they think
theyre invincible. If I ever see that,
I want to put them in a position that
is a little more challenging. Im
really proud of the what the kids
accomplished and what weve built
here.
Martial artists excel on national level
By John Leicester
MONT-SAINT-MICHEL, France
Going down a row of television
cameras, answering one question
after another, the wearer of the Tour
de Frances yellow jersey never
veered off message. Yes, said Chris
Froome, he was delighted to have
increased his race lead with a super-
fast ride in the time trial. But, no,
he added, the Tour isnt over yet
because the road to Paris is still
long.
Froome is right about the long
part Paris is still 1,661 kilome-
ters (1,032 miles) away. But if
Froome really believes there is any
doubt that he will be standing on
top of the podium on the Champs-
Elysees on July 21, then he is part
of a quickly shrinking minority.
After Wednesdays time trial race
against the clock to the medieval
abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel
among the most beautiful back-
drops ever visited by the 110-year-
old Tour the Briton has a lead
that now appears unassailable.
Looking like spacemen in their
aerodynamic teardrop-shaped hel-
mets and riding special go-fast
bikes to better slice through the
air, the 182 riders set off one after
another from the Normandy town
of Avranches, which the forces of
U.S. Gen. George S. Patton liberat-
ed in World War II.
Froome, as race leader, set out
last. His skin-tight racing suit was
yellow, so was his saddle, parts of
his bike frame and a thick stripe
down the middle of his otherwise
black helmet. He puffed out his
cheeks and licked his lips. The race
starter held up five fingers and
counted down. When the ngers
were folded away, Froome raced off,
powering past crowds several rows
deep.
Through a patchwork of elds
green and gold he rode. Through
tidal marshlands where sheep
graze, giving their meat a tang of
saltiness from the sea. Through
picture-postcard villages of cot-
tages built of dark granite.
Not that he noticed.
During the race, you cant really
take any of that in at all, he said.
You go into tunnel vision, and its
just a blur of noise and color around
you.
But with each push on his pedals,
Froomes lead over his rivals grew.
By the end, with Mont-Saint-
Michel rising majestically in front
of him from an islet off the
Brittany coast, Froome wasnt far
from catching Alejandro Valverde,
even though the Spaniard set off
three minutes earlier than him from
Avranches.
As Valverde was crossing the line
in front of the abbey called the
Wonder of the West, the crowds
could already be heard cheering for
Froome, who zoomed in just one
minute later.
Although Valverde is still
Froomes closest rival, its really
no longer close. Froomes lead
over the Spaniard more than dou-
bled to 3 minutes, 25 seconds. At
the Tour, that might as well be
light years. Froome would have to
crash, suffer some other mishap or
get sick and melt down on the tow-
ering Mont Ventoux and in the
Alps next week for his rivals to
catch him.
Once we get into the Alps,
theres a run of a few days, back to
back, which are going to be very
hard, he said. Im sure other
teams are really going to test us.
For the moment, two-time cham-
pion Alberto Contador still isnt
ready to surrender to Froome
even though hes essentially rac-
ing for second place. The time tri-
als at this 100th Tour were short-
ened from those last year to try to
maintain suspense in the outcome.
But Contador still lost more than
two minutes to Froome on the 33-
kilometer (20-mile) course. He is
now 3:54 behind Froome in fourth
place. Dutch rider Bauke Mollema
is third, 3:37 behind Froome.
No ones won the Tour de France
yet and no ones lost it. We have to
get to Paris yet, Contador said,
perhaps more in hope than convic-
tion. Chris Froome is in impres-
sive form and is a great climber,
but there are still many stages
left.
Froome now almost unbeatable at Tour de France

was no doubt we werent going to win this
game.
After losing to Belmont-Redwood Shores
12-4 Tuesday to set up Wednesdays winner-
take-all affair, Pacica American had its ace
ready to go in the form of Chris Rodriguez.
He did not disappoint. Featuring a heavy
fastball and precise control, Rodriguez
pitched the rst six innings before reaching
the 85-pitch limit. During his time on the
mound, Rodriguez held Belmont-Redwood
Shores to just two runs on three hits, strik-
ing out nine along the way.
He was nails, Falk said of Rodriguez.
Rodriguez cruised through the rst three
innings perfectly, striking out six of the
rst nine batters he faced. In the top of the
fourth, however, Belmont-Redwood Shores
got to him. Drew Dowd led off the inning by
reaching second when his fly ball was
dropped in deep left eld. After Stevie Dong
lined out to rst, Aiden Feeley came to the
plate and crushed the rst offering he saw
from Rodriguez, drilling a shot far over the
centereld fence.
The two-run shot turned a 1-0 Belmont-
Redwood Shores decit into a 2-1 lead.
It was a short-lived lead, however, as
Pacica American came right back to tie the
score in the bottom of the frame. With one
out, Karalius came to the plate and unloaded
on a Feeley pitch and knocked it onto the
eld adjacent to the Kiwanis Field behind
the left-eld fence.
It was one of the few mistakes Feeley
would make on the mound. He all but
matched Rodriguez pitch for pitch. Feeley
allowed two runs on seven hits as he worked
into the fth inning before reaching his
maximum pitch count.
Between the fth and eighth innings, it
was all about pitching and defense. In the
top of the fth, Logan Snows bid for a lead-
off hit died in the glove of Pacica American
right elder Shane Hawkins, who made a
shoetop catch. In the sixth, Elijah Suissa
singled and Dowd walked to lead off the
inning. But Rodriguez induced a 4-6-3 dou-
ble play and then got out of the jam on a
groundout. In the eighth inning, a lunging
dive by Pacifica American first baseman
Rodriguez ended a Belmont-Redwood
Shores threat that would have given it the
lead.
Thats baseball, said Belmont-Redwood
Shores coach Tom McGuire. One team has
to win. I wish it was us.
[We] battled. We knew we were facing
their ace. They didnt give up. I couldnt be
more proud of this team.
Pacica American had its own share of
baseball luck. It had runners in scoring
position in the fifth, sixth and eighth
innings, but could only cash in one of those
runners.
(Belmont-Redwood Shores was) very
impressive, Falk said. They didnt give
up.
Pacifica American put the pressure on
Belmont-Redwood Shores in the second
inning. With one out, Karalius and Trevor
Hodge each had back-to-back singles.
Karalius came around to score on a Nate
Azzopardi single to left for a 1-0 lead.
After Fabi Gutierrez walked with two outs
to put runners on rst and second, Shaw
came up and singled to center. Pacifica
American sent pinch runner Evan Ansgarius
from second to try to score, but Belmont-
Redwood Shores made the perfect relay: cen-
ter elder Dong red to shortstop Ryan
Carbullito, who red home to catcher Tyler
McCabe, who slapped the tag on Ansgarius
to end the inning.
It was just the rst of several outstanding
plays that turned this all-star championship
into one for the ages.
Continued from page 11
10-11
was in for a battle. The red and blue came into
the contest averaging 16.5 runs over the rst
four games.
But RWC struck rst and struck hard. After
Lee cruised through the rst two innings (29
pitches, 25 strikes), he ran into some trouble
by surrendering a single, hitting a batter and
then giving up swinging-bunt single to load
the bases. He reared back and got a strikeout
before Tino Pahahu came to the dish and drove
a Lee curveball over the centereld wall for a
grand slam that gave RWC a 4-0 lead and a
mountain of condence.
That pitch kind of slipped out of my hand,
Lee said. I knew when he hit it that it was
going to be a shot. They have good hitters on
the team. Afterwards, I stayed focused, keep
the mentality of get it down the middle and
throw strikes and pound it.
Lees counterpart, Jospeh King, looked just
as strong over two inning and came into the
third with the lead. He struck a batter out
before Noah Marcelo hit a bomb over the cen-
tereld fence to make it 4-1 and jolt the BRS
offense. Before the third out was recorded, a
two-out, two-RBI single by Jake Stulbarg had
cut the Redwood City lead to just a run.
Its the team, Lopez said of the comeback.
Its always been about the team. Its not
about one player. I told them, if hes going to
get hit, hes been hit before but the team has
always responded. It takes 13 to win.
Those 13 are huge if led by Marcelo, it
appears. The second baseman, whos had a
fantastic Majors tournament, came up with
two outs in the fourth and deposited the rst
pitch of his at-bat over the right eld wall to
tie things up at 4. In all, Marcelo went 3-for-4
with four RBIs in the title game.
Im not trying to do too much, Marcelo
said. But when I come up, I come through. I
just try to stay within myself. I needed to help
my team out and get some runs. It feels really
good. Im just really excited to come out and
play baseball. And we get to move on and
win.
Sparked by Marcelos shot, Belmont-
Redwood Shores went on to take a 7-4
lead with Dominic Susas homer being
the big hit of the fourth.
There is no easy outs on this team, Lopez
said. Right now, Noah, Dominic and Brad
(Shimbuku) have been carrying us. But we
have a couple of kids that, once they get
going, its going to be scary.
Scary described Lee the rest of the after-
noon. After the grand slam, Lee faced the min-
imum. He nished yet another championship
outing with 13 strikeouts.
After giving up four runs, it feels good to
know your team can pick you back up, Lee
said.
After a strikeout ended the game, there was
no huge dog pile celebration. In fact, Lopez
said his team is already focused on the next
step which is a trip to the Section 3 tourna-
ment play there starts on Saturday.

I forget about all that (cancer) stuff,
McGuire said. I feel great because baseball is
my therapy.
So is the community of Little League base-
ball. McGuire said his story is well known
throughout the Belmont-Redwood Shores
organization and the parents and ofcials have
been nothing but supportive.
Its what a great community is all about,
McGuire said. Im really thankful.
Despite coming up short in the District 52
tournament, McGuire and several members of
the squad wont have much time to dwell on the

The Cal-Hi Sports All-State Softball
Program was released last week and, like the
all-state baseball teams, some Peninsula stars
are scattered throughout the various all-state
teams.
Carlmont senior catcher Taylor Yzaguirre
was named to the All-State Third Team. Her bat-
tery mate Rebecca Faulkner, the 2013 Daily
Journal Softball Player of the Year, was named
to the Second Team All-Underclassman Team as
a utility player. Both hit well over .400 this
season as the Scots captured the Peninsula
Athletic League title. Faulkner provided a lot of
the repower in both the circle and at the
plate where she led the Scots with 17 extra
base hits, including seven home runs.
Hillsdales Courtney Tyler was a First Team
All-Medium School outeld selection. Tyler
was PALBay Division Co-Player of the Year
with Yzaguirre. The two friends will team up at
the next level when they suit up for the Cal
Poly-SLO Mustangs. Tyler batted .525 this
season and drove in 25 runs. Half Moon Bays
Lindsay Klimenko earned a First Team All-
Medium School pitching selection, a nice
recognition after leading the Cougars to the
Central Coast Section Division III champi-
onship game.

expected pile-driving phase and the safety
hazards, Barnes said the completed grade
separation is a blessing.
She welcomes the transformed intersec-
tion at San Mateo and San Bruno avenues,
because the old intersection was a major
safety hazard.
I know now that we will never get a car
colliding with a train in San Bruno again,
said Barnes, remembering the accidents at
the intersection that resulted in the deaths
of four people in 2000. We were killing
too many people.
San Mateo Avenue used to intersect with
the Caltrain tracks at a steep angle, which
caused the accidents, she said.
Barnes was inspired to advocate for a
grade separation when a 16-year-old boy
who was the same age as her son died in
an accident on the tracks. She has been
involved in the project for 14 years, she
said.
The little guys got to stand up and say
enough, said Barnes, who sat on a citizens
advisory committee on the project. Now
that theyve done it, thank you Caltrain.
The main reason for the project was to
address safety concerns, said San Bruno
Mayor Jim Ruane.
We were rated the fth most dangerous
intersection in California, said Ruane. It
used to be all at-grade and it was dangerous.
Ruane acknowledged that the construc-
tion has strained downtown.
Its part of the process, but I think in the
end people will see the light at the end of
the tunnel, he said.
Grace Sinaeoeo, who works at a dry clean-
ing business on San Mateo Avenue, has to
hunt for parking in nearby residential areas
because of the construction.
In spite of the parking issues, she has
already begun to see the light, now that the
train is running above street level.
Now were like, Oh, we dont have to
wait for the train to pass, she said.
The project will transform downtown San
Bruno, said Caltrain spokeswoman
Christine Dunn. The new station and park
area will be great assets to the city, she said.
Caltrain anticipates the $147 million
project will be completed by the end of the
year.
In the meantime, upcoming road closures
in the area will again impact trafc. Roads
will be closed off while crews excavate
existing roads running under the tracks to
create a lower subgrade.
While San Bruno Avenue is completely
closed, drivers will have to detour on
Interstate 380, said Dunn. No trafc direc-
tors will be on site during the closures
because the roads will be completely
blocked off, she said.
Businesses will still be allowed to pass
through on the closed streets.
Upcoming road closures:
Angus Avenue will be closed from 8 p.m.
July 22 to 5 a.m. July 27.
San Mateo Avenue will be closed from 5
p.m. Aug. 10 to 5 a.m. Aug. 12.
San Bruno Avenue will be partially closed
from 8 p.m. Aug. 16 to 5 a.m. Aug. 19. And
will be completely closed from 8 p.m. Aug.

TRAIN
sate the city for lost trees but it will be
years before they can be planted.
City staff agreed that most comments
from the public were related to the loss of
trees as Caltrain has conducted an outreach
effort to explain the potential impacts of
the project.
Four aging railroad bridges in San
Mateo that had their foundations rebuilt
i n 2011 will be replaced and lifted up to
4 feet to meet Caltrains future needs,
including electrification.
The work, however, will cause street clo-
sures up to eight weeks and some residents
will also lose access to their driveways for
a couple months along Tilton, Monte
Diablo, Santa Inez and Poplar avenues
where the bridges are located.
The four bridges were built in 1903 and
are old, small and seismically unsafe.
Caltrain had the foundations rebuilt on the
four bridges in 2011 at a cost of $2.4 mil-
lion.
The replacement project will cost about
$31.2 million and is expected to be com-
pleted by 2016.
Project Manager Rafael Bolon told the
commission that street closures of up to
eight weeks will be necessary as the old
bridges are rolled out and the new ones
rolled in.
Berms between the bridges will also be
raised up to 4 feet and new retaining walls
will be built and sidewalks will be widened,
Bolon said.
Contractors will be penalized if they can-
not complete the work in eight-week time
frames.
The four bridges will be replaced one at a
time to lessen trafc impacts in the neigh-
borhood, he said.
Work will also be done at night when
trains are not running, he said.
The four bridges will be replaced with
single-span structures to comply with fed-
eral and state seismic safety standards,
according to Caltrain. The construction of
the single-span bridge combined with
updated vehicle clearance regulations
requires a more robust design that raises the
height of the tracks, according to Caltrain.
Site clearing will start in November and
last about three months. Street closures are
not expected until late 2015 and last the
duration of the project.

ing www.caltrain.com/smbridges.

BRIDGES

BEIJING Archaeologists say they have
discovered some of the worlds oldest known
primitive writing, dating back 5,000 years,
in eastern China, and some of the markings
etched on broken axes resemble a modern
Chinese character.
The inscriptions on artifacts found south
of Shanghai are about 1,400 years older than
the oldest written Chinese language.
Chinese scholars are divided over whether
the markings are words or something sim-
pler, but they say the nding will shed light
on the origins of Chinese language and cul-
ture.
The oldest writing in the world is believed
to be from Mesopotamia, dating back slight-
ly more than 5,000 years. Chinese charac-
ters are believed to have been developed
independently.
Inscriptions were found on more than 200
pieces dug out from the Neolithic-era
Liangzhu relic site. The pieces are among
thousands of fragments of ceramic, stone,
jade, wood, ivory and bone excavated from
the site between 2003 and 2006, lead archae-
ologist Xu Xinmin said.
The inscriptions have not been reviewed
by experts outside the country, but a group of
Chinese scholars on archaeology and
ancient writing met last weekend in Zhejiang
province to discuss the nding.
They agreed that the inscriptions are not
enough to indicate a developed writing sys-
tem, but Xu said they include evidence of
words on two broken stone-ax pieces.
One of the pieces has six word-like shapes
strung together to resemble a short sentence.
They are different from the symbols we
have seen in the past on artifacts, Xu said.
The shapes and the fact that they are in a
sentence-like pattern indicate they are
expressions of some meaning.
The six characters are arranged in a line,
and three of them resemble the modern
Chinese character for human beings. Each
shape has two to ve strokes.
If ve to six of them are strung together
like a sentence, they are no longer symbols
but words, said Cao Jinyan, a scholar on
ancient writing at Hangzhou-based Zhejiang
University. He said the markings should be
considered hieroglyphics.
He said there are also stand-alone shapes
with more strokes. If you look at the com-
position, you will see they are more than
symbols, Cao said.
But archaeologist Liu Zhao from
Shanghai-based Fudan University warned
that there was not sufcient material for any
conclusion.
I dont think they should be considered
writing by the strictest denition, Liu said.
We do not have enough material to pin
down the stage of those markings in the his-
tory of ancient writings.
For now, the Chinese scholars have agreed
to call it primitive writing, a vague term that
suggests the Liangzhu markings are some-
where between symbols and words.
The oldest known Chinese writing has
been found on animal bones known as
oracle bones dating to 3,600 years ago
during the Shang dynasty.

Afew years ago, in an effort to reduce the
amount of time I was spending maintaining
my garden, I decided to replace my 75-foot
long perennial border with a shrub border.
I lifted the well-established clumps of
perennials in early spring as they were com-
ing out of their winter dormancy. I gave
many away to friends and planted others in
an empty eld, leaving them to duke it out
with native grasses and local wildowers.
After amending the soil of the 15-year-old
garden with compost and aged cow manure,
I set off for a tour of local garden centers in
search of interesting shrubs.
For most people, the word shrub conjures
up boring evergreen foundation plantings
clipped into geometric shapes. Im not sure
how or why the idea of clipping shrubs into
shapes got started, but my guess is that it
was an effort to control the growth of large,
ill-chosen shrubs planted too close to the
house an unforeseen problem when the
shrubs were installed as small plants.
Foundation plantings became a staple of
home ownership in postwar housing devel-
opments as servicemen returning from war
moved their young families out of cities and
into the suburbs. Eager to sell homes in
these planned communities, developers
planted readily available and inexpensive
shrubs like juniper, yew and euonymus
along the houses front foundation in an
effort to make newly constructed homes
look upscale and homey. Very little
thought, if any, was given to how big these
foundations plantings would grow over
time. Unfortunately the practice of unin-
formed planting continues today.
As demand for shrubs grew, nurserymen
began expanding their offerings, and even-
tually more appropriately sized shrubs such
as compact and dwarf varieties became
available. Today, the variety of shrubs in
the market place today is seemingly end-
less. Perusing my local garden centers cer-
tainly led to an assortment of interesting
options for my new border.
Planting a shrub border is not unlike
planting a perennial border, but with the
added advantage of needing far less upkeep.
My goal was to avoid relying solely on
owers for interest. Instead I chose shrubs
of varying shapes, leaf textures, leaf sizes
and leaf color. To provide winter interest I
included some with exfoliating bark as well
as a few conifers.
I also selected several varieties of vibur-
num specically for their prolic berry pro-
duction. They also have the added benet of
brief but beautiful spring owers. Small
selections like Viburnum trilobum Baily
Compact produce clusters of red fruit in late
summer into fall providing a feast for local
birds. Another selection favored by birds is
a variety of our native Viburnum dentatum
Blue Mufn. Hardy in zones 3 to 8, it pro-
duces an abundance of round, medium blue
fruit in clusters on a compact plant.
Agood number of shrubs make it possible
to have your cake and eat it too. Itea vir-
ginica Henrys Garnet owers beautifully
in the spring and then puts on an excellent
display of fall leaf color once temperatures
cool down and days shorten. Sometimes
called Virginia sweetspire, Itea v. Henrys
Garnet is hardy in zones 5-9 and produces
masses of creamy white fragrant racemes in
spring. Prior to the owers actually open-
ing, the buds resemble white pearls lined up
on drooping stems. The plants green
foliage turns a deep garnet red come fall.
A shrub border requires a bit more space
than a traditional perennial border, as well
as a bit more time to mature, but the wait is
worth it.
When planted right, a shrub border can
have a succession of blooms, berries, fall
color and winter interest while requiring
much less time to maintain than a perennial
border. A light spring feeding with either
compost, aged cow manure or a balanced fer-
tilizer such as 10-10-10, along with sea-
sonal pruning, will keep a shrub border in
good shape.
Tired of tending perennials? Give shrubs a second look
Vibernums owers and foliage make the bush an attractive option for a garden border.

Many of us dispatch our used
paper to a bin, the rst step on the
way to Recycle Land. These house-
hold accumulations of paper and
cardboard are just one more thing
to get rid of.
Luckily, there are designers and
artists who see possibilities in all
that wood pulp. Theyre busy
using it to create art, decorative
accessories, even furniture.
So what you sent to the recy-
cling center just might nd its way
back, in some form, to your home.
Trent Mayols company,
SmartDeco, designs and makes
heavy-duty cardboard furniture
thats simple, stylish and easy to
put together without tools. The
idea came to him when he was a
University of Southern California
neuroscience major dealing with
the packing and logistical hassles
of his fth college-housing move.
Nobody likes dealing with fur-
niture. Especially those living
what weve deemed the one-year-
lease lifestyle, Mayol says.
These people are young, eco-
nomically savvy, and never in the
same place for too long.
SmartDecos pieces, which
include a desk, sidestand and
dressers, are engineered to hold up
to 400 pounds, with multiple lay-
ers of ber and a center arched
reinforcing panel. Yet theyre
lightweight and easy to move.
Available in Kraft finish (the
natural brown of the cardboard) or
white, the Modesto-made furniture
might appeal particularly to col-
lege students, but has enough of a
hip look for a wider audience too.
Customize the pieces if you want;
a plastic snap-on protective shelf
cover comes with each one.

Seattle design studio Graypants
makes striking light xtures out
of repurposed cardboard boxes, in
a series called Scraplights. The
corrugated cardboard allows light
to play dramatically through the
fixtures, and its treated with a
non-toxic fire retardant.

tions of recycled periodicals into
color slabs, which she combines
into one-of-a-kind wall art and
mirror frames.

If paper dicor intrigues you,
visit other Etsy.com stores for
items or inspiration. Israeli artist
Ruti Ben Dror offers functional
bowls made of origami folded
paper. San Antonio, Texas-based
Shannon Ruby crafts clocks out of
recycled magazines and paper;
some are made of a myriad of
curled paper circles, others are
starbursts made of colorful rolled
pages. And shell custom design.

heads, including sharks, antelope,
giraffes and stags, made by
Haitian artists out of recycled
paper similar to newsprint. Each
piece has the look of a typograph-
ic sculpture. (www.rhbabyand-
child.com)
Sometimes inspiration comes
when youre just trying to clean up
a bit. Adecade ago, photographer
and artist Adrienne Moumin was
relocating from Brooklyn, N.Y. ,
to Maryland. Before she moved
out of her rented darkroom, she
began printing up a bunch of
architectural shots she had lying
around. She noticed that the prints
had the makings of a collage, so
she printed some more, and the
project took on a life of its own.
I started the series in 2003,
thinking it was what Id do in the
meantime while I searched for a
rental darkroom, says Moumin.
It soon turned into the main art
form I practice.
The pieces, many of which she
showed at the recent Architectural
Digest Home Design Show in New
York City, are intricately hand-cut
assemblages drawn from the geo-
metric, often fractal images of
skyscrapers and other urban ele-
ments that she had photographed
and turned into silver gelatin
prints. (www.picturexhibit.com)
Got a carful of old maps, but
now have GPS? Decoupage carto-
graphic pages onto waste bins,
serving trays or furniture, or
wooden or cardboard letters for
instant dicor. Old atlas pages
make cool lampshades, drawer lin-
ers or framed wall art. Youll nd
instructions galore online.

Take a look at new shoots growing
on a favorite shrub or vine and youll
see that the bases of these shoots may
be beginning to toughen up, their
once soft, green outer layer turning
brown and woody.
Such shoots, snipped from the
mother plants as so-called half-woody
cuttings, can be rooted to make new
plants.
Cuttings made from shoots still soft
and green are called softwood cuttings.
Those cut from thoroughly woody,
leafless shoots taken in winter are
called hardwood cuttings.
Plant hormones, called auxins, play
an important role in rooting any of
these kinds of cuttings. Under natural
conditions, auxins are produced in the
buds and growing tips of plants, and
are then carried down stems in decreas-
ing concentrations. If you apply aux-
ins directly to the bases of your cut-
tings, rooting can be hurried along,
and you get an increase in the percent-
age of cuttings that root as well as the
number and quality of roots that form.
POWDERS TO HELP YOU ROOT
Natural auxins, once extracted from a
plant, decompose too quickly to be of
practical use. But we can still use aux-
ins by applying commercially avail-
able, synthetic ones, such as IBA and
NAA, which are slower to degrade.
These synthetic rooting hormones
are available either in liquid or powder
form. Concentrations and combina-
tions of auxins will vary with the man-
ufacturer, with higher auxin concentra-
tions generally are used for more dif-
cult-to-root species. Fungicides may
be added to prevent cuttings from rot-
ting.
Apply a powdered rooting hormone
by dipping the base of a cutting into
the powder, tapping it to shake off
excess, and then sliding the cutting
into a hole without brushing off the
powder. Because varying amounts of
powder might adhere to a cutting, root-
ing response to powdered hormone
preparations is less consistent than it
is to liquid ones.
Liquid rooting hormones also are
more rapidly absorbed than powdered
formulations. Merely soak the bases
of cuttings in the liquid formulations.
The soaking time required depends on
the hormone concentration.
Whether you use powders or liquids
to promote rooting, pour only as much
material as you need into a clean con-
tainer, then discard that portion after
use. Eventually, the materials do dete-
riorate. An easy way to test whether a
material is still good to use is to snip a
leaf from a tomato plant, treat its base,
then poke the base into moist sand or
potting soil. If the preparation is still
good, abundant roots will have formed
after a couple of weeks.
TECHNIQUE MATTERS
You dont have to go out and buy
rooting hormone to root cuttings.
Before commercial, synthetic auxins
became available, some savvy garden-
ers would help rooting along by soak-
ing cuttings in water in which stems of
willow, an easy-to-root plant, had pre-
viously been soaked.
And rooting hormones, whether
from a package or from willow stems,
are not essential in propagation, nor
do they perform magic. No need to use
them for propagating willows,
chrysanthemums and other species
that are so easy to root. And dont
waste your time trying to root stems
from a mature apple or maple tree, or
other plants that just do not root from
conventional cuttings.
The ultimate size and vigor of a plant
will be unaffected by whether or not
hormones were applied during propa-
gation. Rooting hormones also wont
make up for poor propagation prac-
tices. You must still pay close atten-
tion to how you take a cutting, to the
rooting medium you use, and to mois-
ture, light and humidity.
And always follow directions close-
ly for a particular rooting hormone
preparation because hormones can be
toxic to plants at certain doses.
Another synthetic auxin 2,4-
dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is bet-
ter known as 2,4-D, a widely used weed
killer.
Hormones help make new plants from cuttings
Apply a powdered rooting hormone by dipping the base of
a cutting into the powder, tapping it to shake off excess, and
then sliding the cutting into a hole without brushing off the
powder.

accepting any of the money until the
referendum process, if necessary,
begins.
But city officials and developer
Legacy Partners calls the announced
intention premature, particularly as
the Transit Village design has yet to
come before the Planning
Commission and City Council. Plans
for a referendum, they say, are not only
untimely but imply that opponents
will be against any project design no
matter the ultimate concept.
I have a feeling the project as pre-
sented now could possibly change a
lot, said Mayor Bob Grassilli.
The original proposal called for con-
verting a 10.53-acre strip of land with-
in the existing Caltrain station into
eight four-story 407,298-square-foot
buildings with 281 housing units
among a mix of 23,797 square feet of
ofces and 14,326 square feet of retail
space. The project would also include
667 parking spaces and a new Transit
Center on 4.29 acres.
John Ward, who works with Legacy
Partners on the project, said the devel-
oper and GESC met 11 times in media-
tion. The results were design changes
like a smaller fourth oor and reduc-
tion of 35,000 square feet which over
time will mean a signicant loss in
revenue.
The goal was to come up with a
project that would be sensitive to their
concerns and we made a lot of
changes, Ward said.
However, it is still not enough for
opponents like Fuller who say his
neighborhood is receiving most of the
projects impacts without any clear
benet s.
The way the ball is bouncing right
now it is marching toward approval
and its not going to work for us,
Fuller said. The level of compromise
on our part has been incredible but
theyre not offering us anything.
He insists GESC members and a large
swath of San Carlos residents respect
the developer and landowner SamTrans
but feel ignored and manipulated by
the process, particularly the approval
of environmental impact reports that
conclude most impacts can be mitigat-
ed.
Fuller also calls the mediation ses-
sions city-sanctioned dog and pony
shows to hide the lack of progress.
The notion of a referendum was
sparked by a similar move in Palo Alto
over senior housing although that
issue is slightly different in that the
proposal has already been approved,
Fuller said.
In Redwood City, opponents of the
Marina Shores Village project shot
down the approved project with a 2004
ballot initiative.
Under the law, an initiative can be
undertaken at any time. Areferendum is
a direct response to a legislative
action.
Most San Carlos residents would
also rather have the direct democracy
of a vote to decide the Transit Village
rather than leave the matter in the
hands of a few planning commission-
ers and city councilmembers, Fuller
said.
The question is what ballot that
might be.
If the City Council doesnt vote in a
time frame that allows the regular
November election, the city will need
to hold a special election which carries
its own price tag and according to
Fuller very little chance of seeing
voters turn out to support the Transit
Village.
However, if voters indicate they sup-
port the Transit Village, Fuller said
that is the end of it for him.
If San Carlans want this thing and if
San Carlans vote for this project I am
going to give up and I am going to
accept their vote, he said.

Zooey Deschanel
switches from acting to singing
During a summer tour with her musi-
cal duo She & Him, Zooey Deschanel
has performed songs about tortured
love and broken hearts. Since she
wrote the songs with her partner, M.
Ward, and shes recently gone through
a divorce herself, shes obviously
using her musical career to purge some
emotions, right?
Wrong, says Deschanel.
That is not what I do, said
Deschanel.
I think that lovelorn is a more
interesting emotion; I tend to be inter-
ested in that emotion more than I tend
to be interested in the emotion of
happy content love, so my big inu-
ences have always been a lot of differ-
ent things, said the singer-actress,
who is taking a break from her hit sit-
com The New Girl
focus on She & Him,
which recently
released their fourth
album, Volume 3,
in the spring.
Deschanel says
she doesnt draw
from her personal
life when she cre-
ates, and instead
relies on her own
healthy imagination.
VILLAGE
than the citys outdated ordinance.
The state law clearly denes what the
businesses should be doing, said
Millbrae Mayor Gina Papan.
Finding an appropriate legal
approach to massage parlors is impor-
tant to the city because the businesses
can sometimes be used as fronts for
prostitution.
Every city walks a ne line in that
massages personally, I like them
but the businesses themselves can be a
cover for illegal activity, said Papan.
Running background checks at
the state level instead of at the
municipal level ensures illegiti-
mate practitioners are not hopping
from city to city, she said.
It will give us another resource if an
individual comes in and has less-than-
legal activities in mind, she said.
The city waited several years after
the passage of the state law before con-
sidering updating city code because it
wanted to see if there would be any sub-
sequent changes to the legislation,
said Ed Barberini, chief of police serv-
ices for the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Ofce Millbrae Bureau. Now,
he said, the city is condent that the
state has established strong, lasting
legislation.
We think the timing is right, said
Barberini. We believe that this [cur-
rent amendment] will be consistent
with state level in the future.
The proposed change to Millbraes
massage ordinance would not provide
any new investigative tool to law
enforcement, but would update the
citys code to reect the state statute,
he said.
Our enforcement regarding illegal
activities doesnt change, he said.
To obtain a state license from the
California Massage Therapy Council,
practitioners must submit an applica-
tion, transcripts from approved mas-
sage schools, go through a back-
ground check and pay $150 fee.
Practitioners must get recertied every
two years.
The current Millbrae application
process requires submitting a detailed
work history and going through a
background check annually with the
police department.
The City Council will vote on the
amendment to the massage ordinance
at its July 23 meeting. If the city
approves the amendment, massage
business establishments would still be
required to register with the city.
