Current residents who live at the 17-
story complex near downtown San
Mateo rebranded the 55 West Fifth
last year formed a tenants associa-
tion a few days ago in hopes of stop-
ping an ongoing construction project
they say will benet future tenants but
not the ones who live there now.
Jerome Miller was named president
of the group after it was officially
formed Sunday. About 60 current ten-
ants gathered Sunday evening to unite
in their efforts to stop a mandatory
washer and dryer installation started
by the propertys new owner, Equity
Residential, which bought the tower
and adjoining buildings for $93 mil-
lion in August 2012.
The property was previously named
Townhouse Plaza and was owned by
Westlake Realty Group.
We want to stop the washer/dryer
project where it is and see if Equity
feels they can still advertise the 55
building as having in-unit washer dry-
ers, Miller told the Daily Journal.
We also want compensation for all of
the lost quiet enjoyment and habitabil-
ity. They are charging full price and act

Residents of 55 West Fifth in San Mateo formed a tenants
association Sunday night to try and negotiate with ownership
over an ongoing construction project.They named Jerome
Miller, standing near center, as its president.
They are charging full price and act as if there is
nothing wrong with this place. Renters feel tricked,
lied to and clearly unsatised. Even the new ones.

This season of Project Runway on the
Lifetime network will feature local
fashion designer Alexandria Von
Bromssen, who produces her own
line and runs Red Square Boutique, a
design collective in San Mateo.
Von Bromssen, 38, rst applied for
the fashion design competition
around ve years ago and received a
harsh critique from Tim Gunn, the famous
amboyant mentor to the designers on the
show. Gunn told Von Bromssen that her
work belonged in a museum, meaning he
thought her clothing wasnt wearable to
the masses.
I was disgruntled after he said you
belong in a museum, she said.
But that didnt stop the designer from
trying again years later to be on the show,
after she had developed herself more as a

Feds: Kennedys sea
turtle rescue was a violation
BARNSTABLE, Mass. Two mem-
bers of the Kennedy family who
thought they were doing a good deed
by freeing an entangled sea turtle actu-
ally violated the law, according to the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration.
John Bullard of NOAAs Division of
Fisheries said he spoke to brothers
Max and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about
their rescue of the leatherback turtle
and explained to them that what they
did was dangerous and a violation of
the Endangered Species Act, which
makes it illegal to handle an endan-
gered or protected species.
The Kennedys freed the estimated
500-pound turtle from a buoy line
wrapped around its head and ns on
July 6 after they spotted it while out
sailing on Nantucket Sound.
The brothers have been coopera-
tive and very helpful as the agency
gathers pictures, gear and other evi-
dence involved in the rescue, Bullard
told Cape Cod Times.
Turtle rescue is best left to profes-
sionals because of the danger
involved, he said. Anyone who spots a
distressed turtle should contact NOAA.
An untrained person runs the risk of
getting tangled in the line and pulled
under by a turtle, which can weigh up
to 700 pounds and hold its breath a lot
longer than a human, he said.
You can get entangled, go under and
it can turn into a tragedy, he said.
Only the Provincetown Center for
Coastal Studies is certied to handle
turtles.
The brothers have expressed regret.
When we spotted a sea turtle in
trouble over the 4th of July weekend,
our rst impulse was to do what we
could to help free the animal, Robert
Kennedy Jr. said in a statement on
NOAAs website. But we realize that
the action we took was pretty risky,
these are large, powerful animals.
He urged people who spot a turtle in
danger to call NOAA, then stand by
until rescuers arrive to help them
locate the animal.
There have been 22 reported turtle
entanglements in Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and New York waters this
year, NOAA said, compared to eight
during the same period last year.
Elderly grocery store
owner refuses robber
MARSHFIELD, Wis. A masked
robber apparently thought the 96-
year-old owner of a neighborhood gro-
cery store in Marsheld would be an
easy target for his crime. But, he was
so wrong.
Margaretta Wolf has owned the store
bearing her family name for 54 years.
And she wasnt about to turn over her
cash to the armed intruder after he
ordered her to open the cash register.
I said: Im not opening up that
cash register and thats it, Im not
opening it. I said you can have all the
Tootsie Rolls you want but I am not
opening that cash register, said
Wolf.
The man in the silver mask and car-
rying a knife continued to give Wolf
orders during the robbery attempt
Monday.
He said, `Walk in the back of the
store, I said, `Im not walking no
place, Im standing right here, Wolf
recounted.
The elderly store owner stood her
ground when the man ashed a pock-
etknife and placed it on the counter.
I said, Ill press a button and Ill
have somebody here in seconds, she
said.
Wolf said the would-be robber
appeared frustrated, looked around,
spotted a security camera in the corner,
grabbed the knife and ed.
Marsheld Police Lt. Darren Larsen
said hes just glad Wolf is OK.
In this instance, certainly again
while not recommended with what
took place, were just very, very
happy Marge was not injured, Larsen
told WAOW-TV.
Wolf said she has a few words for the
suspect when police catch up with
him.
What do I say to him? I say I think
you got some punishments coming,
and it will be a little bit more than
scrubbing the oor, she said.

Draper University of Heroes is launching
the rst session of its online school this
September that will run in tandem with its
existing boarding school at the former
Benjamin Franklin Hotel in downtown San
Mateo.
The online school is now accepting appli-
cations from entrepreneurial students of all
ages from the world over and will provide an
opportunity for anyone unable to attend the
boarding school to have access to Draper
Universitys long list of industry giants and
its cutting-edge curriculum.
Online school students will receive the
same level of entrepreneurial education and
should expect to spend at least 20 hours
each week on their studies. The introductory
session is being offered at a discounted rate
of $399 for the seven-week session.
The price will increase for following ses-
sions, the school announced yesterday.
Students who now board at the university
pay $9,500 a session.
For the initial launch of the online
school, Draper ofcials expect a few hundred
to sign up. Going forward, however, there
will be no limit to the number of students.
University ofcials decided to expand its
program in response to the growing demand
from entrepreneurs who are unable to attend
the exclusive boarding school.
More and more students are taking courses
online as the number of college students
enrolled in at least one online course
increased for the ninth straight year, accord-
ing to the Babson Survey Research Groups
annual survey of more
than 2,500 colleges and
universities including
both nonprot and for-
prot institutions.
Online education is
here, its real and it
should be an integral part
of any educational insti-
tution. We are changing
the lives of so many
more aspiring entrepre-
neurs by addressing their global needs with
our disruptive, groundbreaking curriculum,
Tim Draper, founder of Draper University
and co-founder of Draper Fisher Jurvetson
Venture Fund, wrote in a statement.
Courses offered to online school students
are identical to those offered to students of
the boarding school program. The courses
cover business basics and startup strategies
but do so by using experiential hands-on
methods unique to Draper University.
Classes will include both individual assign-
ments and teamwork projects based on
interest, geography and background.
The university has already had millions of
dollars in venture capital investments hand-
ed to its students after they completed a ses-
sion.
Applicants interested in the online school
can apply online at www.online.draperuni-
versity.com. Fall Session applications for
both the online school and boarding school
are due Aug. 5.

Baby-sitter arrested for
child abuse to be arraigned
ASan Mateo baby-sitter arrested
last week on child abuse charges for
injuries allegedly found on a 4-
month-old infant in her care is
scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 13,
San Mateo County District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said
Wednesday.
Burlingame police arrested 55-
year-old Kay Arndt on child abuse
charges July 11, one day after
police were made aware that the
infant in the womans care was
found with suspicious marks on her
face, Capt. Mike Matteucci said.
The July 10 incident occurred
when the mother of the infant
returned after running some errands
and found strange marks on the
babys face, according to police. A
forensic medical examination
revealed that the baby suffered
recent abuse, according to
Matteucci.
Arndt was arrested at her San
Mateo home July 11 and booked
into the San Mateo County Jail on
suspicion of child abuse. She post-
ed $50,000 bail the same day of her
arrest, according to Wagstaffe.
Arndt is scheduled to appear in
court at 9 a.m. Aug. 13.
Thieves target rental
cars for valuables
San Mateo police have noticed a
recent crime trend in which sus-
pects are targeting rental cars and
stealing valuables by smashing the
windows and accessing the trunk.
Several of these incidents have
occurred in downtown parking lots
and garages, where groups or indi-
viduals from out of town may park
for a meal or to shop, according to
police.
Police are using multiple strate-
gies such as high-prole patrols,
undercover and decoy operations
and surveillance to identify and
arrest the criminals.
Police continue to make arrests
but are nding a large number of
groups are continually traveling to
San Mateo to commit these crimes,
according to police.
Two-alarm fire destroys
home, damages another
Are that started in a grassy area
destroyed an East Palo Alto home
and damaged a second Wednesday
afternoon, a Menlo Park Fire
Protection District inspector said.
The two-alarm blaze was reported
at 12:54 p.m. in the 2700 block of
Georgetown Street.
The re was controlled in about
40 minutes after re crews arrived,
shortly after it was reported burn-
ing at two homes, re inspector Jon
Johnston said.
One home was destroyed in the
blaze, and the exterior of a second
home was damaged.
It appears the re started outside
and then spread to the buildings.
Six residents in the destroyed
home were displaced, while resi-
dents in the other home were able to
return, Johnston said.
A backyard area and a shed were
also destroyed in the re, he said.
A man whom Johnston called a
Good Samaritan attempted to help
handle the re and was hospitalized
with minor smoke inhalation,
Johnston said.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Anonprot that includes current
and former tenants of Petes Harbor
is applying to lease part of the
marina from the state to continue
its operation even as 411 water-
front housing units go up around it.
Former tenant Alison Madden
led the application on behalf of
newly formed San Francisco Bay
Marinas for All with the State Lands
Commission which owns the land.
The group hopes to keep the slips
public, which is one of the caveats
Madden and others ghting the pro-
posed development have long
made.
Madden informed the SLC of the
intent at its last meeting but have
yet to make a public announce-
ment. However, another group of
former tenants, Save Petes Harbor,
made its own announcement this
week of Maddens comments at the
July 12 meeting, urging Redwood
City ofcials to tread carefully with
planning regarding the land adja-
cent to Redwood Creek and Smith
Slough because of the new private
interest.
As parties jockey to control
this valuable area, we strongly urge
the city of Redwood City as well as
the SLC to protect the public trust
by acting diligently in the best
interests of all people and boaters
of California and not simply for
local or private interests, said
James Lee, Save Petes Harbor sec-
retary, in a prepared statement.
The announcement also stated the
groups sole objective is keeping a
public marina.
For her part, Madden said she and
the group were surprised the other
organization addressed the possible
lease before anything was actually
done.
Regardless, the fate of the outer
harbor where the potentially public
marina lies remains up in the air.
In June, owner Paula Uccelli gave
notice to end her 28-year lease for
the outer harbor, saying she had lit-
tle choice because the commission
issued a breach of contract, ordered
her to make millions of dollars in
capital improvements within 60
days and claimed she had not pro-
vided timely notice of her hus-
bands 2005 death.
Uccelli plans to sell the land to
developer Pauls Corp. and previ-
ously wanted to transfer the two
harbor leases to Paul Powers.
Powers offered to keep the marina
open if development opponents
backed off but was denied. He then
revamped the proposal to include
the marina which forced the City
Council to return the application to
the Planning Commission.
Uccelli meanwhile is seeking
state permission to remove the
docks currently at the marina.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Heading off a cost-
ly increase for returning college stu-
dents, a bipartisan group of senators
reached a deal Wednesday that would
offer students better rates on their
loans this fall but perhaps assign
higher rates in coming years.
The deal would offer students lower
interest rates through the 2015 aca-
demic year, but then rates were expect-
ed to climb above where they were
when students left campus this spring.
The interest rates would be linked to
the nancial markets, but Democrats
won a protection for students that rates
would never climb higher than 8.25
percent for undergraduate students.
Graduate students would not pay rates
higher than 9.5 percent and parents
rates would top out at 10.5 percent.
Under the deal, all undergraduates
this fall would borrow at 3.85 percent
interest rates. Graduate students would
have access to loans at 5.4 percent and
parents would be able to borrow at 6.4
percent. Those rates would climb as
the economy improves and it becomes
more expensive for the government to
borrow money.
The deal was described by
Republican and Democratic aides who
insisted on anonymity because they
were not authorized to discuss the
ongoing negotiations.
Undergraduates last year borrowed at
3.4 percent or 6.8 percent, depending
on their nancial need. Graduate stu-
dents had access to federal loans at 6.8
percent and parents borrowed at 7.9
percent.
Avote on the agreement could come
as early as Thursday, although it could
be pushed back to the middle of next
week depending on the Senate calen-
dar.
The bipartisan agreement is expect-
ed to be the nal in a string of efforts
that have emerged from near constant
work to undo a rate hike that took hold
for subsidized Stafford loans on July 1.
Rates for new subsidized Stafford loans
doubled from 3.4 percent to 6.8 per-
cent, adding roughly $2,600 to stu-
dents education costs.
Lawmakers from both parties called
the hike senseless but differed on how
to restore the lower rates. Republicans
have pushed for a link between interest
rates and the nancial markets.
Senators reach deal on student loans
A bipartisan group of senators reached a deal Wednesday that would offer students
lower interest rates through the 2015 academic year.

ASan Mateo man serving life without
parole for his role in a fatal gas station
robbery at age 16 must be resentenced
with consideration of his young age,
immaturity and failure to appreciate the
consequences, according to a state
appellate court.
The First District Court of Appeal
ruled Monday that Michael Pulido
deserves the possibility of a sentence
with the chance of release. The
Attorney Generals Ofce can appeal
the ruling, much as it successfully did in
2007 after a federal appeals court over-
turned his conviction based on jury
instruction error.
Pulido was 16 at the time of the mur-
der of Ramon Flores during a robbery of
a Shell station in San Mateo on May
24, 1992. Pulido claimed his uncle,
Michael Aragon, committed the murder
and that Pulido didnt participate in the
crimes until later, when he opened a
stolen cash register in his uncles car.
Aragon claimed that Pulido committed
the murder and robbery alone.
In 1993, he was convicted of rst-
degree murder and robbery under the so-
called felony murder rule, in which a
person who participates in a felony
such as robbery can be held liable for a
murder committed during the crime.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe
said he participated in the ofce discus-
sions to try Pulido as an adult and seek
life without parole. The decision was
made based on the horrible murder and
Pulidos juvenile record.
In Mondays ruling, the court refer-
enced a 2012 U.S. Supreme Court deci-
sion that judges must consider certain
factors and articulate them before
imposing life without parole on juve-
nile offenders. A mandatory sentence
without consideration violates the
minor offenders right against cruel and
unusual punishment, the court ruled.
If Pulido is returned to San Mateo
County for sentencing, a new judge
must be named because the trial judge,
Walter Harrington, has died. The current
presiding Judge Robert Foiles will also
have to allow a different judge to do the
naming because he was the prosecutor
in the Pulido case.
On top of the Supreme Courts ruling,
California law governing juveniles has
also changed since Pulidos conviction.
Last year, the governor also signed a
bill authored by state Sen. Leland Yee,
D-San Mateo/San Francisco, that
allows judges to reconsider life without
parole sentences for juveniles after they
serve at least 15 years in prison. Ajudge
can then reduce the sentence to 25 years
to life.

Port of Oakland shuts down after workers death
The Port of Oakland was shut down Wednesday as
Longshoremen went on a 24-hour shutdown following the
death of a worker while on the job.
Tractor driver Joy Daniels was killed Tuesday afternoon
while hauling a container at the Hanjin Shipping berth,
said Mike Villeggiante, president of the International
Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 10.
Daniels, 47, had a seizure while driving and hit an object,
ofcials said. She was taken to a hospital and died about an
hour later.
Workers agreed to stand down for 24 hours to honor
Daniels at the fourth-busiest port in the United States as the
union investigates the incident, Villeggiante said.
When you lose a family member, you mourn,
Villeggiante told the Bay Area News Group.
Monitoring cockpit systems not easy for pilots
WASHINGTON Airline pilots often have trouble con-
sistently monitoring automated cockpit safety systems, a
problem that has shown up repeatedly in accidents and may
have been a factor in the recent crash landing of a South
Korean airliner in San Francisco, industry and government
experts said Wednesday.
The human brain isnt wired to continually pay attention
to instruments that rarely fail or show discrepancies, a
panel of experts told an annual safety conference of the Air
Line Pilots Association, the worlds largest pilots union.
As a result, teaching pilots how to effectively monitor
instruments is now as important as teaching them basic
stick-and-rudder ying skills, they said.

Idea High School is receiving $100,000
in planning grant funding from Next
Generation Learning Challenges, which
announced 38 grant recipients it would be
nancing to support the launch and plan-
ning of innovative school models that
accelerate student learning by integrating
online learning with traditional instruction
for grades 6-12.
Idea High School is planned to be a new
design thinking based charter school in fall
2014 and would be part of the San Mateo
Union High School District. The money is
earmarked for the potential school. Idea
Highs organizers, local parents and teachers,
ran a program this summer that lasted two
weeks at Burlingame High School and focused
on hands-on design learning projects.
Dr. Ken Montgomery, assistant principal
at Capuchino High School, is heading Idea
High and said the funding will help launch
the new school, though district approval is
still needed.
The goal is to open up the fall 2014 class
to 100 freshmen, adding on classes each
year following to total a 400-student
school, according to those from Idea High
School. They are also seeking nonprot
status at the moment.
We want high school to be the real
world, Montgomery said. The core mis-
sion is to prepare students for success in
college and beyond. Its about knowledge
plus action.
Montgomery spent Monday through
Thursday in San Francisco at the Design
Breakthrough School Models, part of the
NGLCs rst annual school design institute.
He is attending workshops that will help
him shape the potential school and said the
initial funds will be used for the $500 char-
ter application fee to the district and other
basic needs.
Montgomery said the next month will be
spent working with the school district to
hash out the schools details.
Next Generation Learning Challenges is
excited about models such as Idea High
School that seek to personalize learning
and that allow students to learn at their own
pace, the group said in a statement. The
school model proposes to transform both
teacher and student into designer and is
unique in its incorporation of design-think-
ing, engineering and other 21st century
skills.
Betsy Corcoran, who founded the
Burlingame-based education technology
publication EdSurge and volunteer advisor
to Idea High School, said the funding is an
opportunity to start a great school. She said
the school has a powerful set of ideas.
Montgomery said the schools hope is to
receive launch grants from NGLC come
December. Eight schools received these
types of grants worth $150,000 each, plus
an additional $300,000 contingent on 1:1
match, to start schools this fall. The group
handed out a total of $6.6 million in fund-
ing on Monday.
Awards were based on the applicants plan
to design schools around personalized,
blended and competency-based education.
Half of the 38 grantees were districts, a shift
from previous years when charter networks
received the majority of grants.
Other members of the founding team for
the high school include eBays David Little,
who is a former designer with IDEO, a
design and innovation consulting rm, and
math teacher. Dr. Wendy Little is a former
college psychology professor and currently
directs a preschool run by high school stu-
dents. Christy Knott is a San Mateo Union
High School District health instructor.

$100K a step toward forming new San Mateo Union High School District charter school

WASHINGTON The Republican-led
House voted on Wednesday to delay core
provisions of President Barack Obamas
health care law, emboldened by the adminis-
trations concession that requiring compa-
nies to provide coverage for their workers
next year may be too complicated.
After a day of heated rhetoric, the House
voted largely along party lines, 264-161, to
delay by one year the so-called employer
mandate of the Affordable Care Act. It voted
251-174 to extend a similar grace period to
virtually all Americans who will be required
to obtain coverage beginning Jan. 1, the
linchpin of the law.
The dual political-show votes marked the
38th time the GOP majority has tried to
eliminate, defund or scale back the unpopu-
lar law since Republicans took control of
the House in January 2011. The House legis-
lation stands no chance in the Democratic-
run Senate.
The goal of the health care law is to pro-
vide coverage to nearly 50 million
Americans without health insurance and
lower skyrocketing costs. But in the three
years since Obama signed his signature law,
the public remains highly skeptical and the
administrations abrupt decision earlier this
month to delay the employer provision
only fueled more doubts.
Republican foes welcomed the deferment
as a political gift, not only to assail Obama
but to arrange votes that put House
Democrats on record ahead of next years
congressional elections. In fact, on the
employer mandate, 35 Democrats broke
with party leaders and joined Republicans in
backing the delay. Twenty-two Democrats
supported a postponement of the health care
requirement for individuals.
This administration cannot make its own
law work, said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich.,
chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, during House debate.
Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said
the decision was a clear signal that even
the administration doesnt believe the coun-
try is ready to sustain the painful economic
impact this law will have.
Eager to counter the Republican criticism,
Obama plans to deliver remarks Thursday
focusing on rebates that consumers are
already receiving from insurance companies
under the health care law.
UC Regents confirm
Muslim student to board
SAN FRANCISCO The University of
Californias governing board conrmed its
first Muslim student member Wednesday,
despite some Jewish groups claims that she
marginalized Jewish students and promoted
an anti-Israel agenda.
Regents voted unanimously to ratify UC
Berkeley student Sadia Saifuddins nomina-
tion, with one regent, Richard Blum,
abstaining from the vote.
Saifuddins critics had urged the regents to
reject the nomination, pointing to a student
government proposal Saifuddin co-spon-
sored calling for the university to divest
from companies with economic ties to the
Israeli military or Israeli settlements on the
West Bank.
Buy-America snag
stalls Vegas high-speed rail plan
LOS ANGELES The U.S. Department of
Transportation has suspended its review of a
$5.5 billion loan request that is essential
for building a private bullet train between a
Southern California desert community and
the Las Vegas Strip, leaving the future of the
project in jeopardy.
The Obama administration has been eager to
develop new high-speed rail corridors across
the U.S., and former Transportation Secretary
Ray LaHood had publicly blessed the proposed
train, known as XpressWest. But the project
stalled in part because of a snag over federal
rules that call for the line to be constructed and
run with American-made materials.

About 35 million people worldwide have dementia, and Alzheimers disease is the most common type. It causes a slow
decline in thinking and reasoning ability. Memory trouble that disrupts daily life is one symptom.
By Marilynn Marchione
BOSTON Memory problems that
are often dismissed as a normal part of
aging may not be so harmless after all.
Noticing you have had a decline
beyond the occasional misplaced car
keys or forgotten name could be the
very earliest sign of Alzheimers, sev-
eral research teams are reporting.
Doctors often regard people who
complain that their memory is slip-
ping as the worried well, but the new
studies show they may well have rea-
son to worry, said Maria Carrillo, a
senior scientist at the Alzheimers
Association.
One study found that self-reported
memory changes preceded broader
mental decline by about six years.
Another tied these changes to evidence
on brain scans that dementia is setting
i n.
Maybe these people know some-
thing about themselves that their
doctors dont, and maybe we should
pay attention to them, said Dorene
Rentz, a Massachusetts General
Hospital psychologist. She helped run
one of the studies, which were dis-
cussed Wednesday at the Alzheimers
Association International Conference
in Boston.
About 35 million people worldwide
have dementia, and Alzheimers dis-
ease is the most common type. It caus-
es a slow decline in thinking and rea-
soning ability. Memory trouble that
disrupts daily life is one symptom.
Dont panic, though: The
researchers are not talking about sen-
ior moments, those small, temporary
lapses most everyone has, said
Creighton Phelps, a neuroscientist
with the U.S. National Institute on
Aging. They are talking about real
memory loss, in which the informa-
tion doesnt come back to you later,
not even when people remind you of
what you forgot, he explained.
A true decline is a change in your
normal pattern. Youre starting to
forget things now that you normally
didnt doctor appointments, lunch-
eon engagements, the kids are coming
over ... things that a year or two ago
you wouldnt, said Dr. Ronald
Petersen, director of the Mayo
Clinics Alzheimers Disease Research
Center.
Pati Hoffman, of Carol Stream, Ill.,
near Chicago, used to design menus
and organize events for restaurants but
began forgetting where she filed
things in her computer.
Memory decline may be sign of dementia
NSA spying under fire:
Youve got a problem
By Pete Yost
WASHINGTON In a heated confrontation over domes-
tic spying, members of Congress said Wednesday they
never intended to allow the National Security Agency to
build a database of every phone call in America. And they
threatened to curtail the governments surveillance authori-
t y.
Top Obama administration ofcials countered that the
once-secret program was legal and necessary to keep
America safe. And they left open the possibility that they
could build similar databases of peoples credit card transac-
tions, hotel records and Internet searches.
The clash on Capitol Hill undercut President Barack
Obamas assurances that Congress had fully understood the
dramatic expansion of government power it authorized
repeatedly over the past decade.
The House Judiciary Committee hearing also represented
perhaps the most public, substantive congressional debate
on surveillance powers since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Previous debates have been largely theoretical and legalis-
tic, with ofcials in the Bush and Obama administrations
keeping the details hidden behind the cloak of classied
information.
That changed last month when former government con-
tractor Edward Snowden leaked documents to the Guardian
newspaper revealing that the NSA collects every
Americans phone records, knowing that the overwhelming
majority of people have no ties to terrorism.
Civil rights groups have warned for years that the gov-
ernment would use the USA Patriot Act to conduct such
wholesale data collection. The government denied it.

WASHINGTON The Senate voted
by the slimmest margin Wednesday to
end a filibuster against President
Barack Obamas choice to head the
Labor Department, as this weeks
agreement averting a poisonous parti-
san clash over nominations and the
chambers rules barely survived its
toughest test so far.
By 60-40, senators rejected
Republican objections and voted to
halt delaying tactics aimed at killing
Thomas Perezs nomination to become
labor secretary.
It takes 60 votes to end filibusters.
With all 52 Democrats and both
Democratic-leaning independents
voting to halt the delays,
Republicans supplied the minimum
number of votes needed to keep
Perezs selection alive six.
In so doing, the GOP seemed to sig-
nal that while they would adhere to the
agreement, their ranks bristling with
unhappiness over the deal itself and
against Perez in particular. In the deal
announced Tuesday, top Republicans
agreed to end delays against seven
stalled Obama nominations and
Democrats promised to drop efforts to
change Senate rules to limit fili-
busters.

ACLU: Police record, store
license plates by the millions
WASHINGTON You can drive, but you cant hide.
Arapidly growing network of police cameras is capturing,
storing and sharing data on license plates, making it possible
to stitch together peoples movements whether they are stuck
in a commute, making tracks to the beach or up to no good.
For the rst time, the number of license tag captures has
reached the millions, according to a study published
Wednesday by the American Civil Liberties Union based on
information from hundreds of law enforcement agencies.
Departments keep the records for weeks or years, sometimes
indenitely, saying they can be crucial in tracking suspicious
cars, aiding drug busts, nding abducted children and more.
Attached to police cars, bridges or buildings and some-
times merely as an app on a police ofcers smartphone
scanners capture images of passing or parked vehicles and
pinpoint their locations, uploading that information into
police databases.
Over time, its unlikely many vehicles in a covered area
escape notice. And with some of the information going into
regional databases encompassing multiple jurisdictions, its
becoming easier to build a record of where someone has been
and when, over a large area.

North Korea arms seizure
could hurt U.S.-Cuba detente
HAVANA Cubas admission that it was secretly send-
ing aging weapons systems to North Korea has turned the
global spotlight on a little-known link in a secretive net-
work of rusting freighters and charter jets that moves
weapons to and from North Korea despite U.N. sanctions.
The revelation that Cuba was shipping the arms, purport-
edly to be repaired and returned, is certain to jeopardize
slowly warming ties between the U.S. and Havana,
although the extent of the damage remains uncertain.
Experts said Cubas participation in the clandestine arms
network was a puzzling move that promised little military
payoff for the risk of incurring U.N. penalties and imperil-
ing detente with Washington.
The aging armaments, including radar system parts, mis-
siles, and even two jet ghters, were discovered Monday
buried beneath thousands of tons of raw Cuban brown sugar
piled onto a North Korean freighter that was seized by
Panama as it headed for home through the Panama Canal.
North Korea is barred by the U.N. from buying or selling
arms, missiles or components, but for years U.N. and inde-
pendent arms monitors have discovered North Korean
weaponry headed to Iran, Syria and a host of nations in
Africa and Asia.
Gay marriage: Britain, France in surprise contrast
LONDON The French like to make fun of the British,
joking about their repressed ways in matters of the heart.
But when it came time to debate same-sex marriage, it was
France that betrayed a deep conservative streak in some-
times violent protests while the British showed them-
selves to be modern and tolerant.
With little fanfare or controversy, Britain announced
Wednesday that Queen Elizabeth II hardly a social radical
had signed into law a bill legalizing same-sex marriages
in England and Wales. France has also legalized gay mar-
riages, but only after a series of gigantic protests attracting
families from the traditional heartland that revealed a
deeply split society.
Ofcial word that the queen had approved the bill drew
cheers in the usually sedate House of Commons.

BEIRUT Gunmen burst into the
rst oor apartment of a pro-govern-
ment Syrian journalist Wednesday,
killing him in a hail of nearly 30 bul-
lets in a Hezbollah stronghold in
southern Lebanon.
The pre-dawn assassination of
Mohammed Darrar Jammo is the latest
in a series of brazen attacks that have
shown the growing vulnerability of the
Shiite militant group, which has found
itself increasingly on the defensive at
home over its decision to back
President Bashar Assad in the civil war
raging next door.
Violence linked to Syrias war is
increasingly washing across Lebanon,
threatening to unleash large-scale
ghting in a deeply fragmented country
that is being constantly tested with
ever deepening polarization over the
conict in Syria.
In recent months, violence has
become more recurrent and geographi-
cally widespread, extending to pre-
dominantly Shiite neighborhoods that
had been relatively immune from
attacks plaguing other, mostly border
areas.
On Tuesday, a roadside bomb struck a
Hezbollah convoy near the Syrian bor-
der, wounding two, and last week a car
bombing in south Beirut wounded 53
people in the heart of the militant
groups bastion of support. Rockets
have recently hit the Hezbollah strong-
hold south of the Lebanese capital.
The attacks come as no surprise.
Although there have been no credible
responsibility claims, Syria-based
extremist Sunni groups have interpret-
ed Hezbollahs moves in Syria as a dec-
laration of war against their sect and
have threatened to retaliate inside
Hezbollah-controlled areas in
Lebanon.
It is still the beginning of a proba-
bly tough road ahead for Hezbollah,
said Kamel Wazne, founder and director
of the Center for American Strategic
Studies in Beirut. Such attacks, howev-
er, will not change the groups ideolo-
gy or direction, but will actually
strengthen their resolve to continue
what they started, he said.

AMMAN, Jordan U.S. Secretary
of State John Kerry on Wednesday won
Arab League backing for his effort to
restart Israeli-Palestinian peace talks,
raising hopes for a resumption in the
stalled negotiations in the near future.
Kerry himself said signicant progress
had been made in narrowing gaps
between the two sides but declined to
elaborate.
On his sixth trip to the Middle East
in as many months as Americas top
diplomat, Kerry met in Jordan with
representatives of the Arab League and
nine of its members that support a
comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace plan
proposed by Saudi Arabia.
In a statement released after the
meeting, the Arab delegates said they
supported Kerrys initiative.
The Arab delegates believe Kerrys
ideas proposed to the committee today
constitute a good ground and suitable
environment for restarting the negoti-
ations, especially the new and impor-
tant political, economic and security
elements, the statement said.
The statement was significant
because could give Palestinian leader
Mahmoud Abbas the political cover he
would need to sell a return to negotia-
tions to a skeptical Palestinian public.
Kerry met with Abbas in Amman on
Wednesday afternoon after they shared
a ve hour dinner later Monday night.

Letters to the editor
Reporter-Herald, Loveland, Colo.
D
rones, developed for military use
at war, are increasingly being
deployed over U.S. skies, looking
for everything from suspicious people
along the border to missing people to sh-
ing violations.
Clearly, Americans are losing yet more
expectation of privacy.
Though there is no evidence they have
been yet, the unmanned aircraft could be
outtted with cameras and facial recogni-
tion programs to spy on anyone out of
doors.
And recent revelations that the Customs
and Border Protection Agency is consider-
ing equipping them with nonlethal
weapons should give Americans even
more concern.
The agency has loaned its drones to other
agencies for domestic spying, 30 times in
2010, increasing to 250 last year. Among
the agencies that have used them are the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, the North
Dakota Army National Guard, Texas
Department of Public Safety and the US
Forest Service.
Though drones could offer a tool for
national security, the increasing use and
the potential for equipping them with
weapons show a need for Congress to set
up rules to govern their use and procedures
to ensure adequate oversight of their use.
Some states have also proposed rules
regarding their use, something the
Colorado Legislature should consider.
The American Civil Liberties Union has
recommended limits on their usage, data
retention and weapons, and said policies
regarding their use should be developed by
the public, not law enforcement agencies,
and the rules should be clear and open to
the public.
Its time for states and Congress to set up
the rules that will protect Americans from
misuse of this new technology.
Breaking a promise
Editor,
Citing a higher calling and a profound
commitment to the dubious notion of gov-
ernmental stability, San Carlos
Councilwoman Karen Clapper announced
this week that she will break a promise to
her community and run for City Council in
November. When she was appointed to an
18-month term to replace Andy Klein,
Clapper publicly promised to comply with
the councils request that she not run this
year. The councilmembers rightfully did
not want to grant the electoral advantage of
incumbency to an appointed (non-elected)
member in the 2013 election.
Respecting the councils directive, some
highly qualied individuals decided not to
apply for the interim appointment that
Clapper subsequently accepted. Assuming
that the appointee would keep her word,
they deferred their campaigns to this year.
Now she says that her experience and
skills are so compelling that we deserve to
see her name on the ballot this fall. No,
Clapper, I respectfully suggest that we
deserve to have you keep your promise to
San Carlos and sit this one out.

Civil grand jury makes a good choice
Editor,
While I do not know the names and quali-
cations of the current members of the San
Mateo County Civil Grand Jury, I know
many people who have served in the past
and my opinion is that they are a group of
highly qualied local citizens with no axes
to grind but with a noble desire to help
their fellow citizens and taxpayers.
The recent suggestions made by the
grand jury to improve and rein San Mateo
Countys pension liabilities and local
school districts excessive appetite for cap-
ital appreciation bonds (CABs) are reason-
able, logical and a must if we are to avoid
and stop the continuous mortgaging of of
our childrens and grandchildrens futures.
After reading the mandatory responses
given by the involved agencies, I nd them
to be a little bit arrogant to say the least.

Oakland. I understand their right to feel the
way they do but why do people destroy the

because I didnt agree with what my neigh-
bor did. Wake up Oakland, there are other

Stand your ground?
Editor,
George Zimmerman was found not guilty
for the shooting and killing of teenager
Trayvon Martin. After being told by the
911 dispatcher that ofcial police ofcers
were on their way and to break off follow-
ing Trayvon, Zimmerman ignored dispatch-
ers and proceeded to follow Trayvon, and
after a physical altercation, shot and killed
this 16-year, 21-day-old teenager.
In another case in Florida, a black
woman, Marissa Alexander, who had never
been arrested before she red a bullet at a
wall one day in 2010 to scare off her hus-
band when she felt he was threatening her
and nobody was hurt, was sentenced to 20
years in prison.
I guess when it comes to standing your
ground, it helps if youre not black.

The future of Social Security,
Medicare and Medicaid
Editor,
Tensions are rising for millions of retired
seniors, the working poor and handicapped
regarding the future of Social Security,
Medicare and Medicaid which have provid-
ed them with health care and nancial bene-
ts for more than 50 years benets that
were paid for by themselves by giving a
portion of their monthly income into
nancial support of the programs during all
their years in the workforce with the prom-
ise that part of it would be returned to pro-
vide them with nancial security during
their years of retirement.
Members in Congress were charged with
overseeing that their nancial resources
remained sound and should have gradually
raised taxes as the programs were forced to
extend and expand their services to meet
public demands, but the oversight commit-
tee neglected to do so and that is why the
programs face a nancial crises today.
Democrats in Congress want to continue
the programs in their current format and
preserve their future by raising taxes, while
Republicans want to privatize those pro-
grams and give all those in the programs
nancial vouchers who are authorized to
receive them.
That is why the two parties in Congress

Internal relations
E
verybody needs a scapegoat. Rather,
make that a scape intern. Things get
real? You-know-what hit the fan?
Somebodys got to go down and an intern is
a heck of a better sacrice than, say, any-
body with any real authority or decision-
making ability.
The National Transportation Safety Board
knows this. This week, as the board and
local television station KTVU pointed n-
gers and ate crow over the now-infamous
clip of an on-air anchor reading fake names
of the Asiana Airlines Flight 214 pilots, the
federal transportation agency chalked up the
potentially offensive boo-boo on its end to
an unnamed summer
intern. The intern was
acting outside his
authority but trying to
be helpful when he
conrmed the names
provided by KTVU, the
NTSB said. Within
days, as the public
pondered how nobody
managed to catch the
audible gag of each
name, the intern was toast.
Oddly, KTVU ofcials have yet to blame or
ax an intern on its end. Bad move. The sta-
tion immediately apologized, which is
notable. Yet without a body to throw under
the bus, the station leaves viewers the
opportunity to wonder who received this
mysterious information, managed to forget
that the pilot names had already been
released so this was not news and called this
alleged intern at the NTSB without manag-
ing to gure out a name prank straight out of
Porkys and The Simpsons.
No matter if the station has any actual liv-
ing and breathing interns. Just make one up.
When called on to produce said intern, sta-
tion honchos can claim he or she resides in
Canada alongside any number of chronically
absent signicant others through the genera-
tions.
Chances are this mysterious NTSB intern
is a similar gment of ones blame-assign-
ing imagination. Interns have gotten a bad
rap since the time Monica Lewinsky gave
new meaning to the position. Even now,
interns particularly the lowly, unpaid
ones are in the crosshairs as differing
camps debate their role and compensation in
light of a federal court ruling on wage and
hour laws. If an intern gets canned, there will
be no Facebook petitions, no viral protests,
no ink space given to conspiracy theories.
Bottom line interns are the best scape-
goats. Blame them for anything. Global
warming. Stock market uctuations.
Terrorism. Congressional libusters. The
BARTstrike. Justin Biebers dislike of mop
buckets and Bill Clinton. Paula Deen.
Sinkholes. Sharknado.
In fact, the next time a reader or source has
an issue with something that runs in the
Daily Journal, we plan to blame Boris. Boris
is our newest intern, dreamt up one afternoon
after learning another publication had
reportedly dismissed an editor on which a
story containing a fabricated quote was
blamed. Having never heard of this person,
we immediately assumed it was a gment of a
higher-ups imagination. We also immedi-
ately latched onto the idea as a perfect way
to escape blame for all future typos and mis-
understandings.
Im so sorry, we will say, but it was
Boris, our intern. I mean, our editor. He will
be summarily executed. Or at least shown his
walking papers.
Then Boris name will be erased from the
newspaper staff box only to be replaced with
an equally mysterious Bob or enigmatic
Fortunato who themselves will remain
until the next complaint is lodged. The situa-
tion will be addressed, nobody is actually
red and everybody feels satised.
And if questions are raised about the identi-
ty of these otherwise unseen scapegoats, the
public answer is obvious: Id love to share
but that matter is internal.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEWYORK Some soothing words
from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke pushed the stock market to
slender gains on Wednesday. Higher
earnings for several major companies
also helped.
Bernanke said that the U.S. central
bank had no rm timetable for cutting
back on its bond purchases. The Fed
would consider reducing its stimulus
program if the economy improves, but
Bernanke emphasized in his testimony
to Congress that the reductions were
by no means on a preset course.
The central bank is currently buying
$85 billion of bonds a month to keep
interest rates low and encourage bor-
rowing. Concerns that the Fed was
poised to start easing back on that
stimulus before the economy had
recovered sufciently caused the stock
market to pull back in June.
The concern has been that the Fed
was going to dial the (stimulus) down
to zero regardless how the economy
was doing, said Phil Orlando, chief
market strategist at Federated
Investors. I dont think thats the
case at all...the Fed is going to evalu-
ate the economic landscape, before it
cuts its stimulus, Orlando said.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
climbed 4.65 points, or 0.3 percent,
to 1,680.91. The Nasdaq composite
rose 11.50 points, or 0.3 percent, to
3,610.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 18.67 points, or 0.1 percent, to
15,470.52.
The Dow was held back by American
Express and Caterpillar. The credit card
companys stock slumped $1.47, or
1.9 percent, to $76.80 after European
regulators proposed to cap the lucra-
tive processing fees the card company
imposes.
Caterpillar fell $1.50, or 1.7 per-
cent, to $86.67 after prominent short-
seller Jim Chanos said he was shorting
the stock because it was exposed to a
slump in the mining industry. In a
presentation at the Delivering Alpha
conference, broadcast by CNBC,
Chanos said Caterpillar was tied to
the wrong products, at the wrong
time.
Bernankes comments had a stronger
impact on the Treasury market than on
the stock market.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury
note fell to 2.49 percent from 2.53
percent late Tuesday as investors
bought U.S. government bonds. The
yield has been declining since July 5,
when it surged to 2.74 percent after the
government reported that hiring was
strong in June.
If Treasury yields climb too fast, it
worries stock investors because of the
impact that rising interest rates have
on the wider economy. For example,
higher mortgage rates, which are
linked to Treasury yields, would slow
demand for homes.
The stock market has climbed back
to record levels in July following its
brief slump in June, when the S&P 500
logged its rst monthly decline since
October on concern that the Federal
Reserve would ease back on its eco-
nomic stimulus too quickly. The S&P
500 has gained 4.7 percent in July
after falling 1.5 percent in June. It
climbed to a record 1,682 on Monday.
The index is up 17.9 percent this
year, and stocks could head higher still
as the economy improves in the sec-
ond half of the year, says Rob Lutts,
chief investment officer at Cabot
Money Management.
Expect better things, said Lutts.
The markets going to churn its way
higher from here.
Stocks edge upas Bernanke reassures on stimulus
By Barbara Ortutay
NEW YORK A challenging over-
seas market is weighing on eBays out-
look for the second half of the year,
sending shares lower in after-hours
trading Wednesday even though the e-
commerce bellwethers second-quarter
results were roughly in line with Wall
Streets expectations.
EBay shares fell $3.55, or 6.2 per-
cent, to $53.83 in extended trading.
Revenue rose by 14 percent in the
April-June period, as its PayPal busi-
ness and namesake online marketplace
continued to grow. But net income
declined amid higher expenses.
The companys shares fell by about
6 percent to $53.95 in extended trad-
ing after the results came out on
Wednesday. Though he called the quar-
ters results strong, CEO John
Donahoe said economic weakness in
Europe and Korea will continue to be
a challenge in the second half of the
year. The company kept its full-year
guidance unchanged, but indicated that
results may come in at the lower end of
the expected revenue and prot range.
EBay Inc. earned $640 million, or
49 cents per share, in the April-June
period. Thats down 8 percent from
$692 million, or 53 cents per share, in
the same months a year earlier.
Adjusted to exclude one-time items,
per-share earnings rose to 63 cents
from 56 cents and matched Wall
Streets expectations.
Revenue grew by 14 percent, to
$3.88 billion from $3.4 billion.
Analysts polled by FactSet expected
$3.89 billion.
Donahoe said that eBays core busi-
nesses PayPal and its e-commerce
sites are going strong. PayPal,
which has been the companys fastest-
growing segment, added 4.7 million
active registered accounts, ending the
quarter with 132 million users.
Revenue at PayPal grew 20 percent
to $1.6 billion as eBay continued to
expand its once online-only payments
service to brick-and-mortar stores.
EBay 2Q profit slides; Europe remains weak spot
First Republic 2Q income jumps 29 percent
SAN FRANCISCO First Republic Bank said
Wednesday its second-quarter net income jumped 29 per-
cent, helped by and increase in lending and a rise in
deposits.
The San Francisco-based bank earned $104 million, or
77 cents per share, for the three months ended June 30.
That was up from $80.6 million, or 60 cents per share, in
the same quarter of 2012.
The results beat Wall Street predictions, sending shares
higher in Wednesday trading.
Analysts, on average, expected a prot of 74 cents per
share, according to FactSet.
First Republic said its loans outstanding, deposits and
wealth management assets all increased from a year ago.
Loan originations increased 34 percent to $5.3 billion.
Wealth management fees jumped 69 percent to $33.1
million.
Business brief
By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND The Oakland
Athletics are hardly accustomed to
playing in rst place at the All-
Star break.
Yet the top spot seems to t
them just ne at the moment
even if its quite a change for the
low-budget club long known for
those second-half surges that
make for a dramatic September.
The As are all alone atop the AL
West at the break for the rst time
since 1990. And thats saying
something for the defending divi-
sion champions, who last June 30
trailed the Texas Rangers by 13
games before rallying to capture
the West crown on the seasons
nal day.
It didnt hurt for momentum that
outfielder Yoenis Cespedes won
the Home Run Derby during All-
Star festivities Monday in New
York.
At 56-39, the As are making
another statement after surprising
everybody with a stunning sweep
of the Rangers to end the 2012
regular season and steal away the
AL West title from Texas.
I really believe that the guys in
this clubhouse really believe that
we have one of the best teams in
baseball, third baseman Josh
Donaldson said.
Its just one of those things,
where when we get an opportunity
to play a good team like the Red
Sox or the Pirates or the
Cardinals, were out there sending
a message that we are a good team,
that were for real.
Cespedes has continued to make
strides in his second major league
season, and perhaps winning the
Derby will help propel him into
the second half.
The second-year slugger from
Cuba has 15 home runs and 43
RBIs. And Oakland announced
Wednesday it would open the gates
an hour earlier to fans for remain-
ing Friday home games so they
can watch Cespedes and others
take batting practice.
Hes not happy about his aver-
age right now but his productions
still there for a guy whos hitting
(.225), manager Bob Melvin
said. Hes always on the verge of
a hot streak.
Oakland has seven wins in 10
extra-inning games, and six
walkoff victories already after 14
last season led the majors. The As
also have their rst winning rst
half since 2008 with plans on
making another run at an underdog
division title.

San Mateo wins Section 3 title
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
UNION CITY The San Mateo
National 9-10 Little League All-
Star team faced a daunting task:
beat Union City National two
times to claim the Section 3 cham-
pionship.
San Mateo took care of business
Tuesday with an emphatic 11-0
win over Union City, setting up
Wednesdays winner-take-all
championship game at Veterans
Park in Union City.
Despite Tuesdays win, San
Mateo acting manager Jerry
Berkson had a bad feeling about
Wednesday.
I didnt have a good feeling
coming into today (Wednesday),
Berkson said, adding he felt his
team was flat coming into the
game.
Berksons worst fears played out
through the rst three innings as
Union City starting pitcher Dago
Flores kept San Mateo off balance
at the plate. In the fourth inning,
however, San Mateo broke
through with a pair of runs to tie
the game and then won the Section
3 title on Nico Buttons RBI dou-
ble to left-center eld in the bot-
tom of the sixth inning to drive in
Connor Brady, who was pinch run-
ning for Connor Dorgan. He had
opened the inning with a walk.
We had to claw back, Berkson
said. I told them we had to get
into their bullpen.
Once Union City starting pitch-
er Dago Flores reached his pitch
limit in the fourth inning,
Berksons strategy paid off. After
going hitless and scoreless over
its rst three innings, San Mateo
had four hits and scored three
times against two Union City
relievers over the final three
innings.
It was the perfect ending for
Button, who picked up the win on
the mound with 5 2/3 innings of
work. With Brady at rst and two
outs in the bottom of the sixth,
Union City decided to intentional-
ly walk No. 2 hitter Jake Willerup
to pitch to Button. The lefty wast-
ed little time, jumping on the rst
pitch he saw and driving it to the
fence.

contact and hit it up the middle,

Success hasnt always come
easy for Redwood City native Juan
Hernandez which is ironic con-
sidering the ease with which he
disposes of opponents inside a
boxing ring.
With a 2-1 record as a profes-
sional and 16-2 as an amateur,
Hernandez a 2005 graduate of
Sequoia High School has never
lacked the physical attributes, raw
talent and power that it takes to be
a force inside the squared circle.
But, as the Daily Journal has
learned over the last couple of
years in following Hernandezs
career, the injury bug can be, and
has been, unkind to Hernandez.
After winning an emotional
debut in 2010 by knocking out
Seth Keeling in just 22 seconds,
Hernandez has been dealt hand and
elbow injuries that have slowed
his ascent up the boxing ranks. It
was in a unanimous decision loss
to Lamont Williams of Faireld
(despite regis-
tering a knock-
down of
Williams in the
rst round) that
He r na nde z s
elbow spurs
flared up. And
his road to
recovery lasted
an entire year.
But as his
longtime co-trainer, Rick Nava of
Redwood Citys Police Activities
League, said, its now or never for
him. If hes going to make a real
run, it has to happen now.
Now will come July 26 at the
Fox Theatre in Redwood City
when the venue hosts yet another
Fight Night at the Fox.
Hernandez, a cruiserweight, is
among a trio of San Mateo County
ghters who will take to the ring.
Hernandez comes in with that 2-
1 record, but theres a little more at
E
veryone has seen the evo-
lution of sports over even
the last couple decades.
Professional athletes are bigger,
faster and stronger than ever
before. That trickles down to all
levels of athletics, Little League
baseball included.
As I watched Belmont-Redwood
Shores square off against San
Ramon in the championship
game of the 11-12 Section 3 tour-
nament Tuesday night in San
Lorenzo, one
of the rst
things that
crossed my
mind was:
someone is
going to get
seriously
hurt. I didnt
mean at that
particular
game on that
particular
day, but to
see preteens
almost 6 feet tall and near 200
pounds playing on elds whose
dimensions they dwarf, combined
with the intense focus and train-
ing a lot of kids do, it could all
end up with someone getting
injured.
But this is not a damnation of
Little League, not by any means. I
just think the time may be now to
start thinking about updating the
dimensions of the diamond.
Granted, these are all-star teams
made up of the best players an
entire league has to offer. Not all
players are this physically gifted,
but a majority of the ones who are
play on all-star teams.
Keeping that in mind, consider
this: basepaths for 12-and-under
players in Little League are 60
feet, while the pitching mound is
46 feet away from home. Outeld
fences are not supposed to deeper
than 200 feet.
The teams I saw Tuesday night
looked like they were crammed
onto the eld. It truly looked like
adults playing on a Little League
diamond. Both starting pitchers
threw gas with knee-buckling
curveballs, and hitters waved bats
around like y swatters. When
San Ramons rst baseman, a kid
who was probably close to 6 feet
tall and at least 180 pounds, came
to the plate and ried a ball foul, I

The eyes of American Legion baseball
will be focused on San Bruno starting
Thursday.
San Bruno Park will host the American
Legion Area 2 tournament in what will
prove to be three days of high-end baseball
for San Mateo County.
San Bruno is seeded fourth as the host
team. San Mateos Shockers is the No. 1
seed, the Redwood City Blues and Post 105
are seeded second while Palo Alto comes
into the tournament as the No. 3 seed.
We feel condent, said San Bruno man-
ager Lynn Berliner. We have kids that are
playing in other tournaments so we lose
some of players. But you know, we do our
best and thats all I can say.
Its been a tough season for San Bruno,
who at times, only had just enough players
to fill out the line-up card. That said,
Berliner believes his team will compete
when they take on San Mateo the tour-
nament favorites in the opening day of
the tourney.
We have a decent team, Berliner said.
Its one of my better teams that Ive had in
previous years. Were a little slacked on
pitching, but we can hit and play pretty
good defense. So, the 16 kids should be
ready and hopefully we do very well in the
tournament.
Redwood City and Palo Alto will battle it
out in Thursdays other game.
The double-elimination tournament is
scheduled for two games on Thursday, Friday
with rst pitches and 4 and 7 p.m. respec-
tively. Saturdays games are scheduled for
11 a.m. and 2 p.m. starts with an if neces-
sary game on the calendar for Sunday.
San Mateo is a really good team a real-
ly good team, Berliner said. Weve played
them twice this year and we played them
pretty well the rst four or ve innings, and
then we just kind of lost our pitching.
Theyre a good team, but they can be beat.
Anybody can be beat.
The winner of the Area 2 tournament
advances to the state tourney beginning
July 27 in Yountville.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The San Jose Earthquakes announced
Wednesday that the club has acquired
Salvadoran national team midelder Jaime
Alas on loan from Rosenborg BK pending
receipt of his ITC and P-1 visa. Per league
and team policy, terms of the deal were not
disclosed.
Alas, 23, appeared in three Tippeligaen
games for Rosenborg BK in 2012 and also
came off the bench in two Europa League
matches, including a 1-0 loss against
German power Bayer Leverkusen. He joined
the Norwegian side on Aug. 1, 2012 via
transfer from Salvadoran side CD Luis Angel
Firpo.
Alas began his professional career with
CD Firpo where he parlayed his success to a
Salvadoran national team callup in 2010 at
the age of 21.
Were really excited to have Jaime, said
Earthquakes interim head coach Mark
Watson via press release. Weve been mon-
itoring him for a long time and were
delighted to nally have him on board.
Alas has been a mainstay on the
Salvadoran national team. He has 33 caps
and six goals since debuting with La Selecta
in 2010. He scored his rst goal with the
national squad in a 2-0 win against
Nicaragua in the 2011 Copa
Centroamericana. Alas was also a key piece
of La Selectas 2012 CONCACAF Olympic
Qualifying squad; he started in each of his
countrys four games in the tournament and
scored a 94th-minute goal in a 3-3 draw
against the United States to knock the
Americans out of contention while advanc-
ing El Salvador to the seminals.
Alas is currently with La Selecta for the
2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup. He will report
to San Joses camp following his participa-
tion in the tournament.
Jaimes a player who we had in a year ago
and during our 2013 preseason. Weve kept
tabs on him and are excited to bring him
into the fold, said Earthquakes general
manager John Doyle.
In other Quakes news, the team announced
it will host Chris Wondolowski Bobblehead
Night, presented by Wells Fargo, on
Sunday, Aug. 18 when the club hosts
Sporting Kansas City at 8 p.m.
The bobblehead, available to 5,000 fans
at the gates on Aug. 18, will commemorate
Wondolowskis memorable 2012 cam-
paign.
The Earthquakes and Wells Fargo are team-
ing up for the third-consecutive year for a
commemorative bobblehead giveaway. The
2013 version will pay homage to
Wondolowskis record-tying 27-goal sea-
son and second career Budweiser Golden
Boot. That haul also included an MLS-record
11 game-winning goals and a career-high
seven assists.
For his efforts, Wondolowski was reward-
ed with the leagues highest individual
honor, the Volkswagen MLS Most Valuable
Player.
Wondolowski was the featured player for
the clubs rst collaborative bobblehead
giveaway with Wells Fargo in 2011. That
statuette included a special golden boot on
Wondolowskis right foot, a reference to the
award he won for leading the league with 18
goals in 2010. The Danville native and
Landon Donovan are the only two players
in club history to be recognized twice with
commemorative bobbleheads.
San Jose will also host Norwich City FC
of the English Premier League in an interna-
tional friendly on Saturday, July 20 at Buck
Shaw Stadium. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. with a
livestream available at
www.sjearthquakes.com.
Lastly, San Jose has rescheduled its home
match against Chivas USA at Buck Shaw
Stadium for 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3.
The match was previously scheduled for 8
p.m. Sunday, Aug. 4 and was changed to
accommodate San Joses participation in
CONCACAF Champions League.
The Earthquakes drew 1-1 with Chivas
USA in their first meeting of 2013 at
StubHub Center April 27.

Turnberry, Royal Troon and Western Gailes.
Justin Rose was at North Berwick. So were
Bubba Watson and Luke Donald, who got in
plenty of golf along the Firth of Forth the
week before the British Open.
Its not unusual for players to take off
from their regular tours a week before a
major to prepare. Whats different about the
British Open isnt everything? is that
preparations arent limited to the course
they will be playing.
You can prepare for the U.S. Open on the
range, Ogilvy said Wednesday. But you
can only prepare for The Open on the
course. And it doesnt necessarily have to be
the course youre playing. The seaside
courses here, theyre the only courses with
turf like this, with sand like this. Theres
something different about the seaside wind
in Scotland. ... You can y to Shanghai or
Abu Dhabi and work on what you need at
home. But you cant work on what you need
at home until you get here.
Tiger Woods, a three-time Open champi-
on, arrived Sunday morning and has played
nine holes a day. There was a time he would
leave home a week early and head to Ireland
with Mark OMeara and David Duval, both
former Open champions, and play the links
courses there.
Woods loves to recall his rst experience
with links golf in 1995 as the U.S. Amateur
champion.

Button said. I was expecting to take a
strike, but it was right there so I swung.
Button was just as tough on the mound.
He struck out six and walked only one while
scattering six hits. He made one mistake to
Iziah Martinez, who deposited the rst pitch
he saw over the center-eld fence in the sec-
ond inning. Union City made it 2-0 when it
tacked on a second run in the top of the
third, scoring an unearned run when Niko
Munozs infield hit drove in Danny
Mascorro, who had reached on an error lead-
ing off the inning.
I felt a little nervous after giving up the
home run, Button said. But then I
relaxed.
Despite going hitless for three innings,
San Mateo had its chances to score. It
loaded the bases on three walks but could
not cash in the rst inning. It had two more
base runners reach in the second and put run-
ners on second and third with one out in the
third and again came up empty.
Jake Calaveras nally got to Flores when
he blooped a single into shallow right eld
to key his teams two-run fourth. He was
later erased on a force play at third, but a
walk to Kai Lim and Jason Villars elders
choice put runners on rst and second for
Willerup. After taking ball one from Union
City reliever Martinez, Willerup launched a
drive to deep left eld, barely missing a
home run. Lim scored easily from second
and Villar, who ran through Berksons stop
sign at third, managed to tie the score all the
way from rst, despite a collision at the
plate. The throw beat him by plenty, but the
Union City catcher could not hold on to the
ball.
San Mateo had a chance to win it in the
bottom of the fth, putting runners on sec-
ond and third following a pair of hits in the
inning. But it ended with Ike Pineda being
tagged out at the plate as he attempted to
score on a wild pitch.
San Mateo didnt miss its chance in the
sixth.
Its exciting, Button said. Now we go
to San Jose and represent (the Peninsula in
the divisional series beginning Saturday).

STANFORD Hall of Fame Stanford
womens basketball coach Tara VanDerveer
has received a new long-term contract.
The coach said Wednesday she signed a
new deal without offering
specics, and the school
is not announcing the
number of additional
years on the contract
only saying it is a long-
term pact. VanDerveer
had two years remaining
on her previous contract,
through the 2014-15 sea-
son. The Cardinal missed
reaching a sixth straight
Final Four in VanDerveers 27th season at
Stanford and 34th overall as a Division I
head coach. They lost in the NCAA tourna-
ments Spokane Regional seminals, 61-59
to Georgia, to nish the season 33-3.
VanDerveer, who turned 60 last month, is
742-152 at Stanford and 894-203 overall.
She is six wins shy of becoming the fth
womens basketball coach with 900 victo-
ries.
Athletic director Bernard Muir indicated
after the season that he looked forward to
the program continuing to perform at such a
high level with VanDerveer leading the way
likely for as long as she wants to stick
around.
Simply put, Tara VanDerveer is one of
the great educators in the game of basket-
ball, Muir said. Beyond the game, Tara
means so much to Stanford and we take great
pleasure in knowing that she will positive-
ly impact our student-athletes for years to
come.
Stanfords team leaves in late August for a
tour of Italy.
We are so much improved, I am excited!
VanDerveer wrote in a message. All good
on The Farm!
VanDerveer remained positive as her inex-
perienced team struggled early last season
after losing WNBA No. 1 overall draft pick
Nnemkadi Ogwumike following a fifth
straight Final Four trip. Stanford stunned
then-No. 1 Baylor and Brittney Griner on
Nov. 16 in Honolulu.
The Cardinal had their nation-best 82-
game winning streak at home snapped in a
lopsided 61-35 rout by Connecticut on Dec.
29, then they lost another in front of the
spirited Maples Pavilion crowd to rival
California to end an 81-game unbeaten run
against conference opponents. Cal went on
to earn the programs rst Final Four berth.
VanDerveer is always eager to see the
West Coast shine on the national stage, and
will look for big things from Chiney
Ogwumike in her upcoming senior season.
Stanford has reached 25 straight NCAA
tournaments, has six consecutive 30-win
seasons and is the 11-time reigning confer-
ence champion having won both the reg-
ular-season and conference tournament
titles the past seven years.
I have been extremely fortunate to work
with an incredible staff as well as the bright-
est and most motivated student-athletes
here at Stanford for nearly 30 years, and I
look forward to the privilege of many
more, VanDerveer said. It is to them and to
athletic director Bernard Muir that I say
thank you for the opportunity to continue
leading the Stanford womens basketball
program into its bright future.

LOS ANGELES LeBron James padded
his trophy collection, receiving three at the
ESPYAwards, including male athlete of the
year for helping the Miami Heat win a sec-
ond straight NBAchampionship.
James also won in the
championship perform-
ance and NBAplayer cate-
gories, completing a
sweep of the three awards
he won last year. He
shared in the best team
award Wednesday night.
We went through so
much adversity, team-
mate Ray Allen said. We
did everything we could
to ght, scratch and claw to put ourselves in
that moment.
James beat out Miguel Cabrera of the
Detroit Tigers, Minnesota Vikings running
back Adrian Peterson and Olympic swimmer
Michael Phelps for male athlete honors.
James mentioned his fellow nominees,
then told them, This is for all four of us,
man, but Im just keeping it at my house.
Serena Williams won two awards, includ-
ing female athlete of the year. She defeated
a pair of Olympians, gymnast Gabby
Douglas and swimmer Missy Franklin, and
former Baylor basketball star Brittney
Griner. Williams didnt attend because
shes playing a tournament in Sweden.
Peterson and Phelps also won two
awards each.
Jon Hamm, the star of AMCs Mad Men
and a noted St. Louis Cardinals fan, hosted
the 21st annual show from the Nokia
Theatre.
He joked it was the worlds largest gath-
ering of people wearing sunglasses
indoors as the cameras caught James and
NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick behind
shades.
Hamm got in some digs about former Los
Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard.
We thought it would be nice to honor
Dwight Howard with his greatest moments
with the Lakers, Hamm said as no lm
clips appeared on the screen behind him
while the crowd laughed.
Hamm noted the talk about possible sus-
pensions resulting from baseballs latest
drug investigation has included Alex
Rodriguez.
Thats OK, Yankee fans are used to him
not showing up for the second half of the
season,he joked.
Quarterback Johnny Manziel of Texas
A&M won male college athlete honors after
ying in earlier from Hoover, Ala., where he
attended SEC media day. Griner, who now
plays for the WNBAs Phoenix Mercury,
won female college athlete.
Peterson won trophies for NFL player and
best comeback, while Cabrera won as best
MLB player.
Williams won female tennis player, giv-
ing her eight career ESPYs.
Phelps also claimed best male Olympian,
while teenage swimming sensation Missy
Franklin won best female Olympian.
Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers
won as breakthrough athlete. Rick Pitino
won as coach-manager for guiding the
Louisville Cardinals to a national basket-
ball championship.
The best game was Game 6 of the NBA
nals between the Heat
and San Antonio Spurs.
The award for best
upset went to Florida Gulf
Coasts mens basketball
team, a No. 15 seed that
upset No. 2 seed
Georgetown in the NCAA
tournament.
The best moment award
singled out 7-year-old
Jack Hoffmans 69-yard
touchdown run at Nebraskas spring game in
April, which was replayed on national TV
and viewed more than 2 million times on
YouTube. The boy from Atkinson, Neb., has
brain cancer.
As his father spoke, Jack held the big tro-
phy that blocked part of his face.
Sidney Crosby won NHL player, while
Thierry Henry of the New York Red Bulls
won MLS player.
South Carolina football player Jadeveon
Clowney won best play for his hit on
Michigans Vincent Smith in which he
knocked the runner on his back with a hel-
met-toppling smack, then reached out with
one hand to snare the ball.
Helping out Hamm with comedy bits were
Jack McBrayer of 30 Rock as a befuddled
NFL replacement referee and Jay Pharoah of
Saturday Night Live as Jay-Z explaining
how in his new gig as a sports agent he only
represents winners.
Former SNL star Bill Hader spoofed
Russian president Vladimir Putin, who was
accused by New England Patriots owner
Robert Kraft of stealing his 2005 Super
Bowl ring.
In the bit, Hader showed off his other
sports collectibles, including the Stanley
Cup, some of Phelps Olympic gold medals
and the ring Kobe gave his wife that one
time for no reason.
The Arthur Ashe Courage award went to
Good Morning America co-anchor Robin
Roberts, who underwent a bone marrow
transplant last fall to treat a life-threatening
blood and bone marrow disease. She was off
work for ve months before returning to her
TV job. James presented Roberts with the
award, and rst lady Michelle Obama saluted
her via video.
Roberts received a standing ovation and
noted her friendship with the late Ashe.
At this moment Im lled with such grat-
itude, she said.
The Jimmy VAward for Perseverance was
given to father-and-son duo Dick and Rick
Hoyt by actor-director Ben Affleck. The
younger Hoyt was born with cerebral palsy
and is unable to use his hands and legs. His
73-year-old father Dick pushes him in a cus-
tom-made running chair, and together they
have participated in more than 1,000
endurance events, including 31 Boston
Marathons.
I dont think you could nd two guys
more proud to represent the city of Boston,
Dick Hoyt said.
His son spoke through computer-generat-
ed voice technology, saying, I cant hardly
believe we are here. Thirty-seven years ago
nobody would even talk to us ... It only
proves the wisdom of Jimmy vs words,
Dont give up, dont ever give up.
The winners in most categories were
determined by fan voting.

HOOVER, Ala. Johnny Manziel strode
into Southeastern Conference Media Days
and was swarmed by hundreds of reporters
and dozens of television cameras.
He shook some hands and the cameras
ashed as he settled into his seat, the star of
the SECs latest must-see TV show.
If the Texas A&M quarterback was trou-
bled by all the attention, he didnt show it.
Dressed in a dark blue suit, checkered shirt
and striped tie, Manziel answered every
question thrown his way during the 30-
minute Q&A, some were even about foot-
ball. He said he largely enjoys the spotlight
that comes with winning the Heisman
Trophy even if it sometimes includes
unsavory headlines.
This is just another day, Johnny
Football said with a grin.
The 20-year-old sophomore and face of
college football spent most of his three-
hour stay at the Wynfrey Hotel, bouncing
from one interview session to another. He
mostly talked about an eventful offseason
that has frequently made him a trending
topic.
I dont feel like Ive done anything thats
catastrophic, Manziel said. Of course,
Ive made my mistakes. Its time to grow
up.
The most recent misstep came last week-
end at the Manning Passing Academy.
Manziel was one of many college quarter-
back counselors at the camp for high school
prospects run by Archie, Peyton and Eli
Manning in Louisiana, but he left before it
was over.
He says he missed activities because he
overslept, and his absence had nothing to
do with being out the night before.
I was not asked to leave. It was a mutual
decision, Manziel said.

well, Donaldson said. Weve got a lot of
guys in the lineup that can do some damage,
not only just hitting home runs but getting
on base. ... From 1 to 25, we feel like we
can put anybody in the game and theyre
going to be successful.
Who would have thought Angels stars
Albert Pujols, Josh Hamilton and Co. would
sit a surprising 11 games back at this stage?
The As lead Texas by two games.
Theyve got a pretty good team to work
with, too, Reds manager Dusty Baker said.
It was very impressive what they did last
year, because I dont think they envisioned
theyd make the playoffs. At the beginning
it was kind of like, Do the best you can and
well worry about the future later. I dont
think BoMel (Melvin) got into that,
because you cant have that attitude as a
manager, because that transfers to your
players.
General manager Billy Beane did
acknowledge his club was in rebuilding
mode, so the As overachieved. They lost in
the deciding Game 5 of the AL division
series to the Tigers, who went on to be
swept by the San Francisco Giants in the
World Series.
Melvin has done an admirable job mixing
and matching to cope with injuries to key
players such as center elder Coco Crisp.
Oaklands substitutes have done their share.
It shows that there are 25 guys in this
room that, when used properly, can compete
and win games, said Nate Freiman, who
singled home the winning run against
Mariano Rivera in an 18-inning win over
the Yankees last month.
And it shows that the guys making the
decisions are good at making the decisions
and they know how best to use guys.
Donaldsons steady bat is a key reason the
As are in the lead. He is hitting a team-best
.310 with 16 home runs and 61 RBIs and
107 hits, most in the rst half by an As
player since Carney Lansfords 118 in
1988.
Donaldson is the rst As player to bat at
least .300 with 15 or more home runs before
the break since Jason Giambi in 2001.
Donaldson didnt make the AL All-Star
team, with closer Grant Balfour the lone
representative in place of 40-year-old, 12-
game winner Bartolo Colon.
These young, unselsh As are accustomed
to being snubbed, and certainly dont mind
the role of overlooked opponent. Though
that image might be wearing off in a hurry if
they keep this good thing going.
Along with Donaldson, Brandon Moss
also has 16 home runs.
Its fun to watch our lineup hit, lefty
starter Tommy Milone said. Theres no
easy out. That makes it tough, especially
for other pitchers. Its good for us because
we go out there and feel comfortable with
any lineup that we put out there.
FIRST
stake for him than just a tally in the win
column. In making his return to the ring,
Hernandez is out to prove he is nally back
at 100 percent.
Injuries have been slowing us down,
Nava said. And its a shame because there
are a lot of opportunities in the Bay Area
right now, with Andre Ward, Nonito Donaire
and Robert Guerrero. There are a lot of peo-
ple out there that want to see Juan ght. But
its unfortunate hes been set back by
injury.
Nava said Hernandez has returned to his
regular training regimen and is packing a
lot of pop in his punches something
Hernandez fans have come to expect
through his decorated amateur career and his
pair of knockouts as a pro.
He is not having any issues with that
(his bruised hand), Nava said.
Hernandez joins Filipino sensation
Bruno Escalante (8-1-1, 4 KOs) and B Street
Gyms Ricardo Pinell (4-0-1) as part of the
July 26 card.
Escalante, who trains out of Undisputed
Gym in San Carlos, is the co-main event.
Hell face Mexicos Manuel Galaviz at 115
pounds. In the other featured bout of the
evening, Paul El Gallo Negro Mendez of
Walnut Creek defends his IBAmiddleweight
championship against Dashon Fly Boy
Johnson.
Escalante and Pinell won ghts at the last
Fight Night at the Fox.
I cant remember another time when
there has been so much opportunity in the
Bay Area, Nava, an 11-year volunteer box-
ing coach at PAL, said.
BOXING
shuddered to think what might have hap-
pened if he hit that ball fair.
On defense, throws across the diamond
were all but lobbed over to rst base
because the ineld is so small in compari-
son to the players size.
Because of the dimensions, Little League
at the Majors level which is the most
glamorous division in all of youth baseball
because that is the division that plays in
the Little League World Series seems to
be developing into a home run and singles
game. Fences are either too close to keep
balls in the yard, or theyre too close and
take away the extra-base hit.
I saw both examples during Belmont-
Redwood Shores 2-0 win over San Ramon
Tuesday. In the bottom of the second
inning, BRS Dominic Susa came to the
plate and poked an opposite-eld home run
to right, easily clearing the fence 195 feet
away.
Agood pitcher with good speed, a light
bat and Dominic Susa BRS cleanup hit-
ter and it added up to an improbable
homer.
Then ask BRS Brad Shimabuku, who
hammered a ball into the right-center eld
gap to drive in the second run of the game.
He was held to a single, however, because
he hit the ball so hard, it one-hopped the
fence. The right elder got to the ball
quickly and got it back into the ineld to
keep Shimabuku at rst.
Then there is the skill level of these
players. Its good baseball at this age.
With private coaches and trainers, many
players have developed a high level of
baseball acuity that makes things look
effortless when theyre on the eld.
These players are just starting to hit a
major growth spurt in their lives, maybe
its time Little League grows as well.

CHORGES, France Even when he
expects to lose, Tour de France champion-
in-the-making Chris Froome cannot help
but win. Hes that strong and hes making it
look easy.
On a day when the British rider was plan-
ning to save some energy for upcoming
mountains, Froome still brushed aside the
eld and took his third stage win of this
100th Tour.
Alberto Contador, Froomes Spanish
rival still trying to make a ght of this one-
sided battle, gave his all in Wednesdays
Alpine time trial. His face contorted in a
grimace of effort as he sprinted out of the
saddle to the line, while spectators whipped
up a thunderclap of noise by banging their
sts on the barriers.
Froome, having set off behind
Contador, sped in a few moments later. He,
too, rode hard but looked more comfort-
able with his easy-on-the-eye pedaling
style, perched on his saddle, legs pumping
underneath him like pistons in an ocean
liners engine room.
Contador shook his head and shrugged his
shoulders when television flashed that
Froome beat his time by 9 seconds. This
was another opportunity lost for Contador
4 minutes, 34 seconds back in second
place in the overall standings to make
victory for Froome in Paris on Sunday at
least feel less inevitable.
Froome is in impressive shape, was the
understated assessment of the 2007 and 09
winner who was stripped of his 2010 victo-
ry for a failed doping test.
The last Tour champion now ex-cham-
pion to carry as many stage wins as
Froome to Paris was Lance Armstrong. That
was in 2004, when Armstrong won ve
stages and declared hed be giving no
gifts to his rivals. That is all just a bad
memory now. This Tour is the rst since the
serial dopers name was erased last year
from the races honor roll, literally crossed
out in the ofcial history book.
Froome swears that wont happen with
him. He has repeatedly said when asked at
this Tour that he is riding clean an assur-
ance that only has limited value in the poi-
sonous atmosphere of doubt that is a legacy
of the Armstrong years and the Americans
confession to Oprah Winfrey this January
that he cheated for all seven of his Tour
wins, from 1999-2007.
The problem today is that we are trauma-
tized by the past, Stephane Heulot, manag-
er of the French Sojasun team, said in an
interview. Weve seen too many stories
like this. Weve seen too many riders swear-
ing on the heads of their kids, their grand-
mothers, their mothers that theyre com-
pletely clean and then bam! 15 years,
10 years, ve years later were told other
things. Someones word no longer means
anything. We cant rely on that.
Aunion that represents about 600 profes-
sional riders from seven European nations
supported Froome on Wednesday against
what it called unjustied allegations of
doping.
Its not fair to blame someone without
evidence against him, Gianni Bugno, pres-
ident of the Association of Professional
Riders, said in a statement. We demand
more respect for Chris and for all the rid-
ers.
In four days, as long as he gets through
the Alps, Froome will be able to sip cham-
pagne in the saddle on the nal ride to the
Champs-Elysees, unusually staged in the
evening this year. That would make it two
victories in a row for Britain and for Team
Sky, after Bradley Wiggins win last year.
With wins in the Pyrenees and on Mont
Ventoux, Froome has shown excellence
going uphill. It would be a big surprise if he
wilted on the three days of Alpine climbs
that start on Thursday with a double ascent
to the ski station of LAlpe dHuez, with its
21 hairpins bends to the top. Done twice,
thats 42 bends packed with spectators to be
negotiated. It promises to be frenzied and
spectacular a dramatic crescendo for what
already has been a highlight-rich Tour.
But there are questions about how com-
fortable Froome is speeding downhill.

The X Games are going from the
glitz of Los Angeles to deep in the
heart of Texas.
Athletes with skateboards and
motorcycles will be competing in
the Texas capital after ESPN
announced Wednesday that Austin
will be the next North American
host city for the X Games.
Austin over the last several
years has really become synony-
mous with supporting big
events, said Scott Guglielmino,
senior vice president, ESPN pro-
gramming and X Games. The
music scene is fantastic. The
night life is fantastic and denite-
ly a young, active town.
The home to the University of
Texas also has the new Circuit of
the Americas sports and entertain-
ment complex, which will be the
primary site for X Games Austin.
The 1,500-acre complex opened
in November by hosting the
Formula One U.S. Grand Prix and
held a MotoGP motorcycle race in
April.
Austin was selected over three
other nalists: Chicago, Detroit
and Charlotte, N.C. There were
initially 13 qualied bids for the
Olympic-style selection process,
with Austin picked to host for four
years starting next May 15-18.
X Games is a great action
sports competition and is an ideal
t for the city of Austin, which
has a tremendous tness orienta-
tion, a tremendous action sports
community, said Steve Sexton,
president of Circuit of the
Americas.
Sexton said 16-18 X Games ath-
letes live in Austin, and that a
couple of thousand people
showed up at the State Capitol to
watch an exhibition when Austin
was announced as one of the four
nalists earlier this year.
X Games is nearing the end of
its rst year of global expansion
and transformation, with events
already held in Aspen, Colo.,
France, Brazil, Spain and
Germany.
The X Games will wrap up an 11-
year run in Los Angeles with this
summers event Aug. 1-4.
L.A. clearly, Southern
California, its a special home
when it comes to action sports
and that whole culture, no ques-
tion about it, Guglielmino said.
But we felt like it was time to
move the X Games to a new venue,
a new city. We leave Los Angeles
with a lot of great memories, cer-
tainly. ... We leave after quite a
good and prosperous stay, but def-
initely looking forward to getting
to Austin and really growing out
the event.
Aspen has been the host of the
winter X Games since 2002, but
its contract expires after next
years event. Bidding to host win-
ter competition in the United
States just ended, with the next
site likely to be picked in early
2014.
There are about 350 fully devel-
oped acres at Circuit of the
Americas, including the 3.4-mile
race track with 20 turns, an expan-
sive outdoor live music space for
14,000 spectators and a 25-story
observation tower.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
In recent years, farmers markets have
sprung up in cities and towns all across the
country. These new venues have made fresh,
locally grown produce conveniently avail-
able to consumers and have provided small
farmers the means to sell directly to the pub-
lic. The trend has given rise to a new gener-
ation of young farmers working on smaller
farms, growing greater diversity of crops
and planting a succession of seasonal offer-
ings.
For those of us with backyard gardens,
there are lessons to be learned from these
farmers and from trips to farmers markets.
On a recent visit to my local farmers mar-
ket, I not only became more aware of what is
in season, but I also got new ideas about
what I could grow in my own garden and the
best time of year to plant it.
While most of us dont have the space to
grow the same variety of produce offered in
farmers markets, making note of the mar-
kets seasonal offerings, such as broccoli or
spinach, can provide useful information for
our own gardens.
Broccoli and spinach can be found in mar-
kets very early in the season when tempera-
tures are still cool. The lesson here: Dont
try growing these plants in your own garden
during the heat of summer. The opposite is
true of tomatoes and peppers; they love the
heat so dont plant them too early in the
season.
Paying attention to local fresh produce in
market stalls can help you sharpen your gar-
dening skills. Subtract several weeks from
the date that certain produce becomes avail-
able in the market, and you will get an idea
of the best time to plant it in your own gar-
den next year.
I have found that most farmers and their
employees at markets will readily offer
growing tips such as when to plant, how far
apart to space plants, and what types of fer-
tilizers to use for individual crops.
One such tip greatly improved my carrot
crop. When I inquired about the beautiful
carrots at one vendors stand, I learned that
heavy clay soil like mine inhibits carrots
roots from growing straight down. Lighter,
looser soil allows the plants roots to grow
with ease producing longer more uniform
carrots. Adding copious amounts of sand to
the soil of my carrot plot, I was told, would
yield much better carrots. And it did!
Another important tip I picked up from
talking with growers at our farmers market
is the practice of succession planting. This
simply means planting seeds or plants at
intervals to stagger the harvest. For
instance, instead of planting a whole pack-
et of lettuce seed at one time, which will
produce a bumper crop of lettuce several
weeks later, I plant part of the packet, wait
about ve days, plant more, and wait ve
more days and plant the rest.
When it comes time to harvest I am not
inundated with lettuce all at once. This prac-
tice holds true for most fast-growing crops.
For those of you who have ever been the
recipient of doorstop-sized zucchini or
the giver will appreciate the concept of
succession planting.
If you want to grow better vegetables in
your own garden, take a trip to your local
farmers market. Youll get fresh fruit, veg-
etables and a little friendly counsel in one
stop.

Timely advice from a farmers market vendor can yield you carrots like these.

Easy to Use Stylish Comfortable
case against Stuart James Forrest. The
trial is now in recess until Wednesday
morning when Forrests defense
begins.
Forrest, 61, is charged with two
felony counts of child pornography
possession that carry up to three years
in prison and sex offender registra-
tion. He has pleaded not guilty and, in
opening statements Tuesday, defense
attorney Jaime Leanos told jurors his
client purchased and viewed the images
as part of his duties as San Mateo
Countys chief probation ofcer.
However, Jauren contends Forrest
had a fetish for young boys being
spanked and bound and showed numer-
ous images although nowhere near
the hundreds recovered of that spe-
cic type to argue that the possession
was to satisfy a personal taste and was
not varied enough to indicate possible
training or research. The footage was
projected toward jurors and away from
spectators. All included boys. No
images of girls were recovered.
As Jauron played the images, Forrest
watched expressionless although his
folded hands occasionally fidgeted.
Several of the jurors watched with
hands on their chins or partially cov-
ering their mouths.
Jurors also learned that the devices
included 180,000 web searches, a his-
tory that included San Mateo County
time cards, Kaiser Permanente and
Opentable.com peppered in between
sites for boy links, little boy love
and naughtycuteboys.com. Searches
were also made for a lm involving
nude boys distributed by Azov Films,
the company whose raid led to Forrest
through customer transaction records.
U.S. postal inspectors, assisted by
the FBI and local law enforcement,
searched Forrests San Mateo ofce and
parents home on Dec. 20 and 21
which turned up the images. Forrest
also tried killing himself with a
kitchen knife to the throat on the steps
of a San Mateo church before his
arrest. He entered a psychiatric unit
and retired 10 days later.
On Tuesday, the prosecution called
law enforcement members to explain
that while the law allows child
pornography possession it must be
directly connected to an investigation
or training. Training materials are also
sanitized to block genitals.
After jurors were dismissed for the
day, Jauron and Leanos also debated
the admissibility of an 18-page story
found on Forrests Blackberry that
depicted a sexual relationship between
a grown man and a 7-year-old boy.
Leanos contended the molestation
story is irrelevant to the simple pos-
session charges in the case and is
highly inammatory and prejudicial
to the jury. Jauron argued it shows
Forrests preferences and conrms that
there is absolutely nothing legiti-
mate about his possession of child
pornography. Judge Robert Atak will
rule at a later point.
Forrest is free from custody on
$100,000 bail.
FORREST
as if there is nothing wrong with this place.
Renters feel tricked, lied to and clearly
unsatised. Even the new ones.
Rents have jumped 15 percent and more
for some tenants since Equity bought the
property last year. All residents are also
now paying an additional $165 or more a
month for utility charges, which Westlake
previously covered.
Many of the towers current residents are
80 years old or more and are feeling pressure
to move as they feel new ownership is seek-
ing to rent to younger techies.
Ofcials with Equity, however, said the
building is in need of some major updating
and that most of its tenants prefer to have a
washer and dryer in their unit.
Miller has said he will not let construc-
tion crews into his unit to install the neces-
sary plumbing and venting needed for the
washer/dryer project unless he is offered
compensation.
On Monday, attorney Sam Ferdows sent a
letter to Equity on behalf of tenant Manije
Windell, who just moved into the tower
June 1 after signing a one-year lease.
The 70-year-old signed the lease without
being informed of extensive and continuing
construction activity, according to the let-
ter.
Equity Residential is put on notice to
cease and desist from entering Ms.
Windells apartment in order to perform any
construction, renovation or similar work at
the premises, Ferdows wrote in the letter.
Ferdows also cites a July 12 Daily Journal
article New owner, new problems: Elderly
in high-rise apartment complex feeling
pushed out about how Equity has continued
construction work in some apartments for
weeks longer than projected.
Workers came into Hin Wing Lis apart-
ment May 22 to install a closet and plumb-
ing for the washer and dryer and did not n-
ish the project for nearly six weeks, forcing
Li to sleep on his bed in the living room.
The project was complete, coincidentally,
the day after the Daily Journal article was
published.
Units currently rent from $2,300 for a
single bedroom to $4,100 for a three-bed-
room unit at 55 West Fifth.
Miller has even sparred with some in San
Mateos building division as to whether
Equity sought and received the proper per-
mits before starting construction.
Miller has asked to see and copy some of
Equitys plans but has been denied so far for
a variety of reasons, he told the Daily
Journal.
We had 81 people in attendance last
night who want to know what is planned
inside their apartment units. It would be
impractical for them and the city to have all
of us come down to the building desk as a
group or individually. Your conference
rooms dont seem to hold that many people
and you will have [building official]
Stephen [Lau] working overtime, Miller
wrote to the City Attorneys Ofce Monday.
San Mateo Mayor David Lim has reached
out to the California Apartment
Associations to set up a meeting between
the tenants and ownership to try to mediate
some of the concerns. 55 West Fifth is a
member of the CAA.
Although the City Council has no formal
jurisdiction over the apartment complex, I
nonetheless share the concerns of many of
the residents who live there, Lim wrote in
an email to a tenant.
Equity spokesman Marty McKenna told
the Daily Journal the company will wait to
address resident concerns after it actually
receives them.
We will wait to comment when we hear
what they are seeking, he said.

designer. She created her own one-
woman fashion house for her line, AVB
Designs. She designs and produces a
wide variety of clothing items, includ-
ing swimwear, maternity wear and cos-
tumes.
Her designs, she said, are meant for
strong women of all ages.
I think strength is sexiness, she
said, adding that her aesthetic is edgy,
modern, chic and elegant.
Applying to Project Runway for a sec-
ond time with her same vision, Von
Bromssen thought the producers would
think she was crazy.
I didnt think it would happen and it
did, she said.
Designing for judges
On Project Runway, Von Bromssen
competes against 16 other designers.
Celebrity judges include the famous
Victorias Secret model Heidi Klum and
designer Zac Posen, whose clothing can
be found at Neiman Marcus and Saks
Fifth Avenue.
Each week, the designers are given
wild challenges in the past, contest-
ants have had to make garments out of
owers or things found in the supermar-
ket and are eliminated by the judges
one by one.
It was a really cool opportunity to
focus on yourself, said Von Bromssen,
who said she is constantly critiquing her
own work.
Working long hours and creating
pieces of fashion that require highly
technical skills did not intimidate Von
Bromssen.
I can work with almost any medium,
she said. Im OK under pressure.
But the challenge for her was nding a
way to make something that pleased the
judges while also staying true to her
own vision.
You have to know yourself and you
have to know who youre designing
for, she said. Maybe I lost myself a
little bit to learn what the masses want.
Camp Couture
Now, after the show, Von Bromssen is
back in San Mateo focusing on nding
herself again. She is inspired by the
kids who participate in her Camp
Couture sewing workshops at her Palm
Avenue location.
Her rst day back with the kids, they
were making an all-denim map of the
United States.
Its beautiful, she said.
The kids learn to embrace themselves,
she said.
Kids are told what to do all day, and I
think thats sad when that happens,
she said, adding that her camps consist
of one day of learning how to sew and
the rest of the week the kids are free to
make what they want. Here they our-
ish. Its like Project Runway without the
judges and the drama.
Model turned designer
Von Bromssen who was born in
California and grew up in Stockholm,
Sweden started in the fashion indus-
try at a very young age. Her rst
glimpse into the world of fashion was
not as a designer, but rather from anoth-
er side of the industry. At 13, Von
Bromssen, was 5 feet, 10 inches, which
made her a great subject for the camera.
I guess I took a decent photo, she
said.
By age 14, she was a professional
model getting calls from Vogue and Elle
and traveling the world for magazine
shoots and runway shows.
She lived in Italy, Spain and Greece.
The young worldly Von Bromssen
loved learning about other cultures, but
the modeling gigs werent for her.
I didnt love it, actually, she said.
It just wasnt something I was passion-
ate about. My mom wanted it more.
Von Bromssen moved to New York to
study at New York University. She stud-
ied business and got a job with Time,
Inc., in San Francisco after she graduat-
ed. But again, there was something
missing.
Instead of lling the voids of work
with happy hours, Von Bromssen took
art classes.
She found that she loved getting
messy and creating her own works of
art.
My nails were dirty with paint like
these cool war scars, she said.
Then, fate stepped in. Von Bromssen
lost her job after the terrorist attacks of
Sept. 11, 2001. She decided to go back
to school and get her masters in ne
arts from the Academy of Art University
in San Francisco.
That was probably the best day of my
life, she said. I was thrilled to have an
outlet.
She has been designing fashion in the
Bay Area for 10 years. She works from
her home and her store.
Living in San Mateo, away from the
constant happenings in New York or
San Francisco, has allowed the designer
to concentrate on her work.
Its quiet enough for me to produce,
she said. Its allowed me to focus.
When Von Bromssen isnt designing,
shes running. She has run more than 50
marathons and run two ultra marathons
in the Alps.
She said the discipline of running
helped her get through the intense
Project Runway experience.
Running has kept me sane through-
out this process, she said, thinking of
the long hours of working through com-
petitive challenges on the show. You
have to pace yourself, and breathe.
Season 12 of Project Runway premiers
tonight on Lifetime at 9 p.m. Von
Bromssens Red Square Boutique is

papers to run, but have yet to le of-
cially. Burlingame resident Robert
Schinagl also pulled papers to run for a
seat on the council. He has yet to le an
application for candidacy, said City
Clerk Mary Ellen Kearney.
For Baylock, the time was just right.
Weve accomplished many good
things and now that Burlingame is sta-
ble, it seems like a good time to go off
and do something different, Baylock
said. Im leaving for all good reasons.
Baylock said she plans on spending
more time at her Bible study group in
Foster City, which shes been part of for
21 years. She also plans on spending
more time working at the Burlingame
Historical Society, seeing her family
more and skiing once she wraps up her
time on the City Council.
She is most proud of the train station
remodel she worked on during her rst
year as mayor in 2006.
It ended up being a beautiful land-
scaped project, Baylock said. People
dont realize how hard it is to get things
done.
Brownrigg, who was elected to the
City Council in 2009, said he pulled
papers Wednesday.
Cathy has done terric public serv-
ice; she loves Burlingame and is a great
colleague, Brownrigg said. Im sur-
prised by her decision. Shes been a lot
of fun to work with.
Brownrigg said he doesnt have any
other candidates in mind, but said he is
sure there will be a good pool of poten-
tial councilmembers in the running.
Were blessed in Burlingame because
we have a lot of thoughtful, civic-mind-
ed people, Brownrigg said.
Keighran said she was disappointed
by Baylocks announcement since the
two work together so well.
I wish she was running, Keighran
said. She has been phenomenal. I
highly respect her for her dependability
and ethics. She was always a coun-
cilmember rst.
Charles Voltz, one of the founders of
advocacy group Citizens for a Better
Burlingame, initially met Baylock a
decade ago at the Burlingame Historical
Society. We go back a long way, Voltz
said. Shes been a marvelous advocate
for Burlingame and Im disappointed to
hear shes not running again.
Baylock said she hasnt heard of any
potential contenders in the coming City
Council election.
Its strange because in April or May,
you hear about people throwing their
hats in the ring, but no one has been
coming to the meetings or talking
about it, she said.

CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- When doing work that
requires an eye for detail, you had better keep your
mind on the task at hand. A lack of attention could
quickly ruin your endeavor.
LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be content with what
youre doing and with whom you are sharing your
time. Once you start wishing you were elsewhere,
youll lose what the moment has to offer.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Its marvelous when
we can take others at their word, but unfortunately
several persons might promise you things today that
they have no intention of fulflling.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Usually, youre pretty
good at clarifying your objectives, especially if it
involves something that could enhance your know-
how. Today, however, your system might go awry.
sCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If you plan to visit
some shops that offer tantalizing merchandise that
you know you cant afford, it would be best to leave
your credit cards at home. Nows not the time to be
a spendthrift.
saGiTTariUs (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Any project
or endeavor that doesnt have your wholehearted
support shouldnt be pursued today. It would be best
to temporarily shelve such matters until youre in a
more favorable mood.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If a friend does
something worthy of praise, be sure to compliment
him or her. However, dont use false fattery or be
insincere just to give this person an ego boost.
aQUariUs (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Youre a generous
and giving person, and these are admirable traits.
However, dont allow an unworthy manipulator to
use fattery on you and abuse your good nature.
PisCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If your objectives
arent clearly and realistically defned, you could go
off on an unproductive tangent and end up having
little or nothing to show for your effort.
aries (March 21-April 19) -- Dont expect to be too
convincing if you try to sell others on some ideas
or concepts that you dont truly believe in. It takes
sincerity to generate support.
TaUrUs (April 20-May 20) -- If you ask someone for
an opinion on an important matter, make sure it is
a person who will tell you the truth. Thats the only
way youll get the advice you need.
GeMini (May 21-June 20) -- Companions will get
miffed at you if they fail to understand why you say
one thing and do another. It is important for you to
clearly defne your motives and actions.

ASSISTANT PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE OF POSTING: July 17, 2013
TIME OF COMPLETION: (120) WORKING DAY
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN On Tuesday, July 23, 2013, at its regular meeting, located at the
San Bruno Senior Center at 1555 Crystal Springs Road, San Bruno, starting at 7:00 p.m., the
City Council will hold a Public Hearing, to consider waiving the second readings and adopting the
ordinances of the City Council of the City of San Bruno, amending the Citys garbage and recy-
cling rates and establishing an Organics program. The following is a summary of the Ordinances.
On May 24, 2013, written notices of the proposed rates were mailed to all property owners along
with information regarding the proposed organics program, the process for protesting the pro-
posed rates, and the date, time, and location of the public hearing on the proposed garbage
rates. At the public hearing held on July 9, 2013, the City Council received public comment and
found that the City did not receive written protests against the rate increase from a majority of the
customers or parcels served by Recology. The City Council then closed the public hearing and
waived the first reading and voted unanimously to introduce the two ordinances, by the following
vote of: Medina, OConnell, Salazar and Mayor Ruane. Absent with prior notice was: Ibarra.
The first ordinance to be considered will adjust the Citys garbage and recycling rates by 2.61%
effective September 1, 2013 in accordance with the franchise agreement with Recology San Bru-
no. The second ordinance to be considered will initiate an Organics program in San Bruno effec-
tive January 1, 2014, which will allow residents to dispose of food waste in their green yard waste
toter. The implementation of an Organics program requires a rate adjustment of 8.96%, to be
phased in over the first year of the program with a 4.48% adjustment on January 1, 2014, a
2.24% adjustment on July 1, 2014, and a final 2.24% adjustment on January 1, 2015. A full listing
of the proposed rates can be found on the Citys website at: http://www.sanbruno.ca.gov/fi-
nance_proposedrates2.html
Any person may appear and be heard as to whether the proposed rates and charges are discrimi-
natory, excessive, insufficient, or not compliant with State law. A full copy of the ordinances are
available during business hours in the City Clerk's Office, 567 El Camino, San Bruno, Ca 94066
(650) 616-7058.
