City Council wants commitment

Burlingame has tasked Caltrain

with choosing sides in the city’s
fight to keep aerial viaducts out of
the equation when it comes to high-
speed rail.
It’s us or them, the City Council
made clear at its Monday night meeting.
Vice Mayor Terry Nagel wants Caltrain to craft a letter to
the California High-Speed Rail Authority and the Federal
Railroad Administration clearly stating its opposition to an
aerial viaduct through Burlingame.

Re-examining discipline
Pilots program to support students who made bad choices

Sixteen-year-old Xavier B. wasn’t

The South San Francisco teen was

Derrick G., a 13-year-old, got in trou-

The letter Nagel seeks from Caltrain, however, will likely
never be written.
Caltrain, run by a joint powers board from three transit dis-
tricts in three counties, has partnered with high-speed rail as a
way to meet its own needs, which include electrification and
grade separations from San Francisco down to San Jose.
Caltrain is struggling financially and sees electrification as its
best way to survive.
The transit agency is clearly stuck between some in the
community who are unhappy with the entire high-speed rail
process and a $43 billion state project that promises thousands
of jobs and a cleaner, cheaper and safer way to commute
across the state and up and down the Peninsula.

Bush was charged with aggravated

legal limit of .08 percent. Police didn’t
know if Bush has a lawyer and there is no

San Carlos city manager to retire
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Five years after being named San Carlos’
city manager, Mark Weiss announced his
intentions to retire.
Weiss joined San Carlos in September
2005 leaving his position as the assistant city
manager in La Quinta. On Wednesday,
Weiss, 54, announced plans to retire through
a department memo. While Weiss’ last offi-
cial day is not until Dec. 18, he will not be in
the office after Friday, Sept. 24. Weiss will
use accrued vacation time starting in
September.
“It has been an honor and privilege to par-
ticipate in, and contribute to, the ‘City of
Good Living’s’ legacy of creative and pro-
gressive government. Thank you for that
opportunity,” Weiss wrote in the memo.
Mayor Randy Royce praised Weiss’ time

said Royce.

after a national search. He previously worked
for Half Moon Bay for 10 years, including
seven years as city manager from 1986 to
1996. He also held positions with Oklahoma

The search to replace him will start soon.
Royce noted the city has two strong internal
candidates but will hold a larger search to be
sure the right candidate is chosen.

Although Youshock was 17 at the time,

of use of explosives in an act of terrorism and
two counts of possession of a deadly weapon.

Security benefits
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Currently, the money coming into the Social
Security Administration exceeds what is dis-
tributed but that will change as baby boomers
age, said U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San
Mateo.
“Social Security is totally solvent,” Speier
told a group of seniors in Pacifica yesterday.
“The surplus is invested into bonds but by
2030 there will be twice as many senior citi-
zens over 65.”
By 2037, Social Security benefits could be
wiped out unless Congress makes some simple
changes to preserve the program many retirees
depend on to survive, Speier said.
“If you make over $106,000 you don’t pay
Social Security,” she said. “The rich should not
get a pass. Lifting the cap will keep it solvent.”
Speier made the comments at the Pacifica
Senior Center on Crespi Drive yesterday after-
noon as she also cut a cake in honor of the
Social Security Administration’s 75th birthday,
which was Aug. 14.
The benefit is not just for seniors, however.
Social Security also helps support people with
disabilities and widows and children after a
spouse dies.
Speier herself relied on the benefit after her
husband was killed 17 years ago in a car acci-
dent.
“Social Security was a lifeline for keeping
the family together,” said Speier, who just
turned 60. “It is an extraordinary benefit and
shows the great compassion of our country.”
Nattie Juvland appreciated hearing Speier
tell the story of her loss. Juvland, 75, lost her
husband 32 years ago and relied on Social
Security to support her and her two daughters
for many years.
“I would not have been able to survive with-
out the benefit,” Juvland said. One of her
daughters also later became disabled and also
needed Social Security to survive.
Juvland, a 44-year Pacifica resident, only
worked part time before her husband’s death.
She worked full time after that and did not
retire until the age of 72, after finishing her
career working for Genentech.
Deirdra Kennedy just turned 65 and is
expecting her first check next week.
Kennedy applied for the benefit online.
“It was so easy to do,” Kennedy said.
The Social Security Administration was cre-
ated Aug. 14, 1935 as part of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal.
Speier will visit three senior centers today to
continue the birthday celebration for Social
Security. She will be at the San Bruno Senior
Center, 1555 Crystal Springs Road, 9 a.m.;
The Burlingame Recreation Center, 850
Burlingame Ave., 10 a.m.; and the San Mateo
Senior Center, 2645 Alameda de las Pulgas,

Illnesses linked to bad
eggs will likely grow
By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A salmonella outbreak
that sickened hundreds and led to the recall of
hundreds of millions of eggs from one Iowa
firm will likely grow, federal health officials
said Thursday.
That’s because illnesses occurring after
mid-July may not be reported yet, said Dr.
Christopher Braden, an epidemiologist with
the federal Centers for Disease Control.
Almost 2,000 illnesses from the strain of
salmonella linked to the eggs were reported
between May and July, about 1,300 more than
usual, he said. No deaths have been reported.
The CDC is continuing to receive information
from state health departments as people report
their illnesses.
“I would anticipate that we will be seeing
more illnesses reported likely as a result of
this outbreak,” said Braden. The recall of 380
million eggs from Iowa’s Wright County Egg
is one of the largest shell egg recalls in recent
history.
The outbreak could have been prevented if
new rules to ensure egg safety had been in
place a few months earlier, an FDA spokes-
woman said.
The rules, which require producers to do
more testing for salmonella and take other
precautions, went into effect in July. They had
languished for more than a decade after
President Bill Clinton first proposed that egg
LOCAL/STATE
standards be toughened. The FDA said in July
that the new safeguards could reduce the num-
ber of salmonella cases by nearly 60 percent.
“There are preventive measures that would
have been in place that could have prevented
this,” said Sherri McGarry of the FDA’s
Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.
She and other officials declined to say what
specific measures would have prevented this
particular outbreak, citing an ongoing FDA
investigation.
Hinda Mitchell, a spokeswoman for the
company, said it abided by guidance issued by
the United Egg Producers, an industry group.
Those procedures mirror several aspects of the
federal egg safety rule.
FDA’s McGarry said illnesses were traced
back to eggs produced on three of five farms
the Iowa company owns. The investigation,
which includes sampling, records review and
sanitation assessments, is focusing on those
three farms.
Salmonella is the most common form of
food poisoning from bacteria, and the strain
involved in the outbreak is the most common
kind of salmonella — accounting for roughly
20 percent of all such food poisonings.
Minnesota, a state with some of the best
food-borne illness investigators in the country,
has tied at least seven salmonella illnesses to
the eggs. California has reported 266 illnesses
since June and believes many are related to the
eggs. Colorado saw 28 cases in June and July,
about four times the usual number.

Obama a Muslim? use of state-owned plane
Rumors gain steam,defying facts
By Hillel Italie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — “President
Obama is a Muslim.” “He’s not an
American citizen.” “He wasn’t even
born here.”
None of this is true. But to sur-
prising levels, it is believed.
Blame it on the media, or on
human nature. All presidents deal
with image problems — that they’re
too weak or too belligerent, too far
left or far right. But Obama also
faces questions over documented
facts, in part because some people
identify more with the rumormon-
gers than the debunkers.
“Trust and distrust — that
explains almost all of it,” says
Nicholas DiFonzo, professor of psy-
chology at the Rochester Institute of
Technology and an expert on rumor
and gossip research. “We are in such
a highly polarized political environ-
ment. Our country is sorting itself
into more closely knit, opposing
factions each year” — factions,
DiFonzo suggests, that in turn
become “echo chambers” for fac-
toids that aren’t fact at all.
Nearly one in five people, or 18
percent, said they think Obama is
Muslim, up from the 11 percent who
said so in March 2009, according to
a poll released Thursday. The pro-
portion who correctly say he is a
defends his
Barack Obama boards Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base.
Christian is just 34 percent, down
from 48 percent in March of last
year.
The White House even felt com-
pelled to respond with a terse
knockdown from spokesman Bill
Burton: “The president is obviously
a Christian. He prays every day.”
Obama is the Christian son of a
Kenyan Muslim father and a Kansas
mother. Born in Hawaii, he lived
from ages 6 to 10 in predominantly
Muslim Indonesia with his mother
and Indonesian stepfather. His full
name, Barack Hussein Obama,
sounds Muslim to many.
Confusion about Obama’s reli-

gion was common, and sometimes
encouraged, during the 2008 cam-
paign. An Associated Press photo-
graph that circulated on the
Internet, and was posted on The
Drudge Report, showed Obama
dressed in traditional local gar-
ments — a white turban and a
wraparound white robe — during a
visit to Kenya in 2006. Democratic
rival Hillary Rodham Clinton may
have contributed through her
response to a question, during a “60
Minutes” interview, about whether
he was a Muslim. “There’s nothing
to base that on,” she said. “As far as
I know.”

Pakistan receives U.N. aid Around the world

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
UNITED NATIONS — The United
Nations appeared to have met its target
of $460 million in immediate aid for
flood-stricken Pakistan on Thursday
after the U.S. and other nations signifi-
cantly upped their pledges.
The rush of promised help came after
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon,
addressing a hastily called meeting of
the General Assembly, urged govern-
ments and people to be even more gen-
erous than they were in the 2004 Indian
Ocean tsunami and this year’s Haiti
earthquake, because the floods were a
bigger “global disaster” with the
Pakistan government now saying more
than 20 million people need shelter, food
and clean water.
“This disaster is like few the world has
ever seen,” Ban told the meeting. “It
requires a response to match. Pakistan
needs a flood of support.”
Before the meeting, he said, donors
had given half the sum the U.N.
appealed for to provide food, shelter and
clean water to up to 8 million flood vic-
tims over the next three months. But Ban

Singer Wyclef Jean meets with Haiti’s president
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Haitian President Rene
Preval met with presidential hopeful Wyclef Jean for more
than two hours on Thursday, touching off
a new round of speculation as to whether
the singer will be allowed to run in Nov.
28 elections.
Jean told the Associated Press that he
felt the exchange with Preval was posi-
tive.
“I feel good,” the hip hop artist and for-
mer Fugees frontman said. “I feel that the
Wyclef Jean president that I voted for five years ago is

Several hours after the meeting, Jean posted a photo on his

France to send 93 Gypsies back to Romania
PARIS — France was deporting nearly 100 Gypsies, or
Roma, to their native Romania on Thursday as part of a very
public effort by conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy to
dismantle Roma camps and sweep them out of the country.
France chartered a flight to Bucharest, which was to leave
later Thursday from the central city of Lyon with 73 Roma
aboard, Immigration Ministry officials said. Fourteen others
were repatriated to Romania aboard a commercial flight from
the Paris region earlier in the day, the officials said, adding
that another Romania-bound repatriation flight was expected

“It definitely seems like it was racial profil-

and the fact they are Pakistani. It seems like
this was a false accusation,” said Anderson, a
Yale University sophomore who was heading
back to school.
American Airlines Flight 24, with 163 pas-
sengers and a crew of 11, was already running
2 1/2 hours late when it pulled away from the
patched to a remote stretch of tarmac at San
Francisco International Airport where it sat for
two hours.
“There was no fear in the cabin at all,” pas-
senger Michael Kidd told the AP. “It was pret-
ty calm. Even with the frustration of having to
sit there, there were no raised voices.”
Passengers with Internet access searched the
Web for details about the incident. Passengers
were allowed to go to the bathroom one at a
time, Kidd said, with flight attendants admon-
ishing anyone who tried to get to their over-
head luggage.
Police eventually entered through the back
door and escorted the two passengers into a
plane six at a time and greeted by San
Francisco Police Department officers who
used security wands to screen them and their
carry-on luggage. They were then taken by
buses to a terminal for further security checks
and to rebook their flights.
“The two passengers were taken off the
plane separately, but we cannot discuss the
specifics why,” said FBI spokesman Joseph
Schadler.
The couple declined to discuss the possibili-
ty that they may have been targeted because of
their appearance, but said they were treated
well and only questioned briefly before they
were allowed to go to the ticket counter like all
“Of course we’re upset, but I guess we can’t

Kidd said he and his wife did not believe the
couple had been racially profiled based on
appearances alone. The man wore a Los
Angeles Lakers jersey and the woman was
wearing a beret, and they looked like typical
Californians, he said.
The threat report originated from clerk at a
business in Alameda, said Lt. Bill Scott. The
clerk called police shortly after 9 a.m.
Thursday and said the business had received
an anonymous phone call “making a threat

Child abuse?
A
recent article, “Protecting
the Future Health of Our
Boys” by Lilian Presti (in
this very newspaper on Aug. 17)
was about the saddest and most
disturbing thing that I’ve read in a
long time. It was about how male
birthrates have declined in many
industrialized countries and how
there’s also an increase in physical
feminization of boys whose moth-
ers were exposed to high levels of
hormone disrupting chemicals like
bisphenol-A (BPA) and phthalates
including a significant drop in male
sperm rates.
So, now, the latest saga of the
chemical industry’s assault on all
of us warns us that males are on
the endangered species list. Makes
you think of the old saying, “You
can’t fool Mother Nature.” I guess
no one ever thought that messing
around with chemicals and allow-
ing so much pollution to go
unchecked could cause such a dis-
aster. If there’s anything that should
sound a loud and urgent alarm to
those who are in charge of regulat-
ing environmental and ingestible
chemicals, and to pediatric endocri-
nologists, it is that.
I recently read a riveting book
about the problems that today’s
boys are having in so many ways
— “Boys Adrift,” by Leonard Sax,
M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Sax named five
phenomena that he believes are
working against boys in our mod-
ern culture and it isn’t a pretty pic-
ture. They are: 1). Changes at
school. 2). Video games. 3).
Medications for ADHD. 4).
Endocrine disrupters, and 5).
“Our government long ago gave into big
business, special interests and the ‘bottom line.’
In doing so, it rejected the very values on which
our country was founded and has shown only
politically expedient concern for our children.”
— “Your Children are Under Attack,”Jim Taylor,Ph.D.
Failure to launch. All are a threat to
the future well-being of many boys,
but the one that I’m writing about
today is number 4.
Dr. Sax states that the steady
infiltration of hormone-disrupting
chemicals such as BPA and phtha-
lates into our daily lives has had a
lot to do with boys’ problems.
These chemicals are called
endocrine disrupters because they
mimic the actions of hormones,
especially female hormones. It is
believed that this has had much to
do with the increase in physical
feminization of boys whose moth-
ers were exposed to high levels of
these chemicals. As Dr. Sax warns
us: “Research suggests that young
children are far more sensitive to
these chemicals than previously
thought, and that the ‘safe’ levels
of exposure established by the FDA
in the 1990s may be dangerously
high.”
It has also been reported that the
same chemicals have had much to
do with causing earlier puberty in
girls. Because of the number of
girls beginning puberty at age 8,
you’d think there would have been
drastic measures taken after a
group of pediatric endocrinologists
called a special conference to
decide what should be done about
OPINION
the problem. But they didn’t seem
to believe the situation was serious
enough to take action. They could
have called, for instance, for an
ongoing study, a moratorium on
many of the plastics in children’s
lives or demanded that manufactur-
ers work diligently to find an alter-
native. But, Dr. Sax reports, … “the
American endocrinologists did
none of these things. Instead, they
decided to redefine what’s normal.
The experts decided that a girl who
needs to wear a bra at 8 years old
should no longer be considered to
be an anomaly.” Outrageous.
So, as usual, we cannot trust our
government agencies and scientific
community to take control of such
situations and do what is impera-
tive. This problem should have
been exposed long ago and drastic
measures to correct it implemented
quickly. But, as usual, the industry
is trusted to test its own products,
the FDA goes along with their
results and, far too often, danger-
ous side effects of pharmaceuticals
or the harm of other chemical con-
coctions surface much later. The
mantra seems to be, “We must not
let problems like this interfere with
the profits of corporate interests.”
If that doesn’t make you throw
away all of baby’s plastic toys,
drink nothing from plastic bottles,
discontinue using plastics for food
preparation and storage and in the
microwave and to use far fewer
canned products (the cans are lined
with BPA), what will? You’d think
that this would have been consid-
ered a national emergency some
time ago, but the governmental
powers-that-be, who should be pro-
tecting us, continue to fiddle while
Rome burns. It seems to me that
jeopardizing the health of our
younger generations in this way is
not only a form of child abuse, but
also, as Bob Keeshan of “Captain
Kangaroo” fame warned us some
time ago, “A nation that does not
shelter its children, including pro-
tecting them from exploitation, will
pay dearly in the future.”

Caltrain versus BART
Editor,
Caltrain’s proposed cuts in serv-
ice, especially those diminishing late
night and weekend schedules illus-
trate that Caltrain does not adequate-
ly serve all of it’s rider’s needs.
However, BART does serve more
daily riders in the areas it currently
covers. It is a shame that many years
transit system in the country. In my
opinion, HSR plus Caltrain’s
improved equipment together will
not attract more local West Bay train
travelers unless more substantial
daily schedules are implemented to
at least parallel present BART
timetables. Caltrain’s current once
an hour scheduling during most of
the day plus further reduction or
complete elimination of evening
trains added to discontinued week-
end service is hardly enough stimu-
lus for most Peninsula travelers to
leave their own vehicles behind to
take a train (One thinks that the
49ers and Giants will also not relish
these cuts).
If a BART Peninsula extension
plan were to be placed on a ballot
today, the outcome might be very
different. Perhaps an extended West
Bay BART could even add a few
more stops plus adding an East Bay
shortcut via the Dumbarton Rail
Bridge crossing to expedite South
and West Bay service.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks tumbled
Thursday after two disappointing eco-
nomic reports renewed investors’ con-
cerns about the pace of the recovery.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
144 points. All the major stock indexes
fell more than 1 percent. Interest rates
also fell sharply as investors moved back
into the safety of Treasury bonds.
The Labor Department said initial
claims for unemployment benefits rose
unexpectedly last week and the Federal
Reserve of Philadelphia said manufac-
turing activity in the mid-Atlantic region
has dropped during August.
“The Philly Fed number was just
awful,” said Randy Frederick, director of
trading and derivatives at Charles
Schwab. “The jobs number was bad, but
not as far off the mark as the Philly num-
ber.”
The pair of economic reports followed
news that Intel Corp. was acquiring
McAfee Inc. The deal, valued at $7.68
billion, was not enough to offset the
impact of the weak economic readings.
The reports are the latest in a months-
long string of conflicting readings on the
economy. The reports have shown the
pace of a rebound is slowing and that
companies are skittish about adding new
workers. That has hurt stocks on some
days in recent weeks. It has also raised
fears about the economy falling back
into recession.

Benanti said.

claims for unemployment benefits rose
by 12,000 to 500,000 last week from an
upwardly revised 488,000 a week earlier.
Economists polled by Thomson Reuters
forecast claims would fall slightly. It was
the fourth rise in claims in the past five
weeks and sent them to their highest
level since November.
High unemployment is considered the
biggest hurdle to a stronger recovery

Toyota Camry still the top-selling car By Ann M. Job

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Toyota’s top-quality reputation is tarnished these days

because of a rash of safety recalls. But that’s not stopping the
Toyota Camry from outselling all other cars in the country.
In fact, sales this calendar year of the Camry, a perennially
popular family sedan over the years, total nearly 190,000 and
are up 2.8 percent through the first seven months of 2010 com-
pared with the year-earlier period.
I found out why when a woman in a parking garage eleva-
tor wanted to know how I liked the new, 2010 Camry she saw
me driving. She quickly confirmed she’s a Toyota loyalist and
had fond memories of her old, durable Camry. She was driv-
ing a Lexus now, having moved up to Toyota’s luxury brand.
She clicked off many positive attributes of the Camry: It’s
attractive in a mainstream kind of way, easy to settle into and
drive and comfortable to ride in. Basically, it’s a no-fuss car
that fits busy households.
And for years, the Camry has been a sedan known as a
smart buy because of its popularity, reliability and class-lead-
ing quality. For 2010, the “smart buy” label may be appropri-
ate for some new reasons.
A new four-cylinder engine boosts horsepower from 158 in
the 2009 Camry to at least 169 in the 2010 model. The four
banger also provides improved fuel mileage — up 1 mile per
gallon in government ratings in both city and highway travel
for a combined rating of 26 mpg with automatic transmission.
In addition, starting retail prices for base 2010 Camrys are
lower than those of some major competitors, plus Toyota has
been generous this year with sales incentives. Specifically, the
front-wheel drive, base, 2010 Camry has a starting manufac-
turer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, of
$20,155 with manual transmission and 169-horsepower, 2.5-

Why GM stock may lure brave despite bad economy
By Bernard Condon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Would you buy stock in a
company that has hemorrhaged tens of bil-
lions of dollars for years and run through
three bosses in quick succession just because
it’s turned a profit for a few months?
That is essentially what General Motors
will ask investors to do when it takes itself
RAIL
Continued from page 1
Detractors are fed up with everything from
“context sensitive solutions” to the technical
and policy working groups that helped forge
the alternatives the Peninsula Rail Program
recently presented at an authority board meet-
ing in San Francisco. The two working groups
are comprised of city staff and elected offi-
cials from cities throughout the Peninsula.
The authority also made a $1 billion request
to the FRA a day after it presented the alter-
natives analysis for the Peninsula, one with an
open trench and the other an aerial option for
Burlingame.
Burlingame officials look at these two
actions as meaning one thing — an aerial
viaduct will one day split its city in two.
But Caltrain is pushing for a phased imple-
mentation for the project, meaning parts of the
project can be built while the authority seeks
other money for more desirable solutions.
The letter Burlingame sent to the FRA,
however, asking for it not to fund an aerial
project will not help its cause to find other
solutions, including an open trench that could
be covered in spots, said Seamus Murphy, the
government affairs manager with SamTrans.
“We share in the community’s frustration,”
Murphy said. “The FRA money does not keep

already on edge, it’s a lot to expect.
The good news: Longtime investors say
buying during bad times is the best way to
make money with auto stocks, provided you
have a stomach of steel. And for the brave,
GM may offer a perfect opportunity.
“The stocks look expensive when profits are
low, but that’s traditionally when you should
options off the table. Burlingame is opposing
funding that could, ironically, fund their
desired alternatives. Phased implementation
would allow for time to seek more money for
some of the desired alternatives.”
As far as opposing an aerial viaduct out-
right, Murphy isn’t sure that makes sense for
Caltrain.
“We know people are looking for Caltrain
for help,” Murphy said. “And we want the
communities to be heard by the authority.”
Mark Simon, executive officer for public
affairs for both Caltrain and SamTrans, said
the authority has failed to communicate clear-
ly with the public.
“The authority has not explored the full
spectrum for alternatives for the alignment on
the Peninsula. A trench is not off the table.
The options are still alive,” Simon said. “We
sympathize with the community.”
Bob Doty, who presented the two alterna-
tives to the authority Aug. 5, will be holding
two meetings in Mountain View later this
month with elected officials and city staff to
discuss the alternatives.
Doty is the program manager for the
Peninsula Rail Program, which answers to
both Caltrain and the High-Speed Rail
Authority.
He sent a letter out yesterday to city coun-
cilmembers throughout the Peninsula inviting
them to attend the Mountain View meetings.
In the letter, Doty writes, “I am writing you

All Camrys come with air conditioning,

trol, 16-inch wheels, traction control, elec-

ment. The ride was smooth and bumps were

GM filed papers Wednesday with regulators
detailing its plans to return to the stock mar-
ket. Though it didn’t specify a date, experts
say the offering could come as early as
October.
The company earned $1.3 billion from
April through June, its second profitable quar-
ter in a row and a remarkable turnaround

to implement the alternative that is shown in
the application.”
The application for the $1 billion federal
grant showed a primarily aerial option from
San Francisco to San Jose.
“It is the rigorous federal and state environ-
mental review process that will determine the
ultimate alignment and design options,” Doty
writes in the letter.
The environmental impact report related to
the Peninsula should be ready by December. It
is that document that should spell out exactly
what the possibilities are for the alignment
and design of the project on the Peninsula.
Burlingame officials have vowed a con-
tentious fight if it gets stuck with an aerial
viaduct.
“Caltrain should fight for us instead of
being a tool for the authority,” said
Councilman Jerry Deal, who has participated
in the policymaker working group process.
“You can’t win with the Peninsula Rail
Program.”
Nagel wants Caltrain to be in Burlingame’s
corner.
“Has Caltrain sold its soul to the devil over
this project?” Nagel asked.
An aerial viaduct is estimated to cost about
$257 million in Burlingame while an open
trench would cost about $552 million.
“$300 million is not insurmountable to
overcome,” Murphy said.
An open trench may also be covered by
kept away from passengers. But the Camry
didn’t seem as insulated against outside
sounds as I expected.
The 2010 Camry comes with slightly
revised styling. So the grille and front air
dam on the test car were bolder than that on
the 2009 predecessor, and headlights were a
bit larger, though I had to park next to an ear-
lier Camry to really see that change clearly.
At the back, the 2010 Camry has restyled
taillamps with light-emitting diodes provid-
ing bright brake lights. All in all, the look is
neither jarring nor emotive and contrasts
with more modern designs as seen on the
2011 Hyundai Sonata.

about 800 feet where the Burlingame Caltrain
station currently sits, which could then be
developed by the city into a plaza or for other
uses, Simon said.
Caltrain is clearly in a dilemma, Brownrigg
said.
“Caltrain is coming to the end of being able
to play both sides,” Brownrigg said.
“Burlingame’s solution is not Caltrain’s solu-
tion.”
Vice Mayor Nagel said it might be time to
“cut the cord” with Caltrain.
“Residents will lie down on the tracks to
stop the train,” Nagel said at the Monday night
council meeting. The council discussed high-
speed rail for about two hours Monday night
and there is sure to be many more discussions
to come.
The authority is planning a route with elec-
trified bullet trains traveling from Los Angeles
to San Francisco and has been criticized for
speedily getting the project shovel-ready to
secure more federal funding. The project was
awarded $2.5 billion in federal funding in
May and state voters approved a nearly $10
billion bond in a November 2008 election to
build the project. The estimated cost is expect-
ed to be more than $40 billion, although, crit-
ics say that number could double.

Camry LE had good-looking fabric seats
that held me nicely in place, though the car
wasn’t sporty enough for exciting driving
through mountain twisties. There was
noticeable body sway and weight transfer
from side to side during those kinds of
maneuvers and steering felt a bit numb.
The lack of a “road car” feel in the Camry
LE, however, did not diminish the pleasing
performance of the new four-cylinder
engine. It’s larger in displacement — 2.5
liters vs. 2.4 liters — than the 2009 engine.
And with twin cams, Toyota’s variable valve
timing and new six-speed automatic trans-
mission attached, it worked admirably in
city and highway traffic.

Clemens indicted for lying about PEDs under oath
By Pete Yost
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Roger Clemens was
vehement: “Let me be clear. I have never taken
steroids or HGH,” he told a House committee in
2008. Now, instead of the Hall of Fame, base-
ball’s seven-time Cy Young winner could go to
prison after being indicted by a federal grand
jury Thursday for allegedly lying to Congress.
The case writes a new chapter in one of base-
ball’s worst scandals, the rampant use of per-

early 2000s, and leaves Clemens’ legacy in
jeopardy.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. —
Gripping a shiny new aluminum bat, 12-year-
old Patrick Marinaccio took some hacks at the
batting cage and loved what he heard.
Ping! Ping! Ping!
The sweet sounds of contact are reverberat-
ing again through the sprawling Little League
baseball complex in this blue-collar central
Pennsylvania town.
The World Series begins Friday.
String together a few of those hits over the
next 10 days on the pristine field at Lamade
Stadium and Marinaccio and his teammates
from Toms River, N.J., can take home one of
the biggest prizes in youth sports and extend a
U.S. string of five straight World Series titles.
For now, Marinaccio will gladly settle for a
few swings with his new baseball bling.
“It’s amazing,” Marinaccio said. “The bat-
ting gloves have a nice grip. The helmets. And
the bats are really nice!”
A championship for the Toms River team
would make them the second squad from the
Jersey shore town to take a Little League
crown. A different Toms River local league
sent a team that won the 1998 World Series
and earned the nickname the “Beasts from the
East.”
Of the 16 teams in South Williamsport,
three others have a chance to bring their
hometowns a second championship banner,

Burlingame’s Bakhtiari on a mission with Titans
By Teresa M. Walker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee defensive
end and Burlingame High grad Eric Bakhtiari
pulls his flowing brown hair first into one pony-
tail, then a second before pulling a skull cap over
his head to squeeze on his helmet. With every-
thing knotted up on his head, that helmet fits
pretty tight.
Bakhtiari (BOK-tee-R-ee) hasn’t been grow-
ing his hair for fashion or religious motivation.
with 15 different statements made under oath,
including denials that he had ever used steroids
or human growth hormone.
Former Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia, the top
Republican on the House panel at the time of
Clemens’ testimony, called it “a self-inflicted
wound.”
Clemens had been prominently mentioned in
the Mitchell Report, Major League Baseball’s
own accounting of its steroid problem, and he
went to Capitol Hill on his own to clear his
name.
“Clemens was not under subpoena. He came
voluntarily,” Davis said. “And I sat there in the
office with (committee chairman) Henry
Waxman and said, ’Whatever you do, don’t
lie.”’
Four years removed from his World Series
run and Georgia manager Randy Morris
remains so familiar to a few workers at the
Little League complex that they said “hellos”
as he supervised infield practice for his boys.
“This isn’t your first time at the rodeo, is
it?” someone yelled with a wave.

Every year, thousands of Little Leaguers dream of ending their season at the Little League
World Series,including 2009 finalists: Champion Chula Vista,top,and runner-up from Taoyuan,
Taiwan. This year, four teams have a chance to win a second world championship, but will
have to go through a re-vamped playoff system and a pitch-count rule that will put a
spotlight on pitching.
He’s going long for a pur-
pose — to make a big dona-
tion to Locks of Love to
help a cancer patient.
Credit for steering
Bakhtiari to Locks of Love
goes to Jamal Williams,
Bakhtiari’s teammate two
years ago with the San
Eric Bakhtiari Diego Chargers. Bakhtiari
2007 had decided to quit visiting
the barber for a while when
Clemens was sticking to his story Thursday.
He insisted he was telling the truth, again deny-
ing any wrongdoing on or off the field.
“I never took HGH or Steroids. And I did not
lie to Congress,” Clemens said on Twitter. “I
look forward to challenging the Governments
accusations, and hope people will keep an open
mind until trial. I appreciate all the support I
have been getting. I am happy to finally have
my day in court.”
Clemens faces a combined maximum sen-
tence of 30 years in prison and a $1.5 million
fine, though under U.S. sentencing guidelines
the recommended range of time is 15-21
months.

Debut is
a success
M
oments after winning his profes-
sional boxing debut last
Saturday at the San Mateo
Event Center, Juan Hernandez couldn’t
help but get emotional.
“When my mom hugged me, she was
crying and I started crying, too,” said
Hernandez, who splits his time training at
the Redwood City Police Activities League
center and Undisputed Gym in San Carlos.
The 2005 Sequoia High graduate can’t
remember the last time something caused
him to have tears, but he can easily be for-
given for needing some Kleenex after his
impressive showing in front of a boisterous
hometown crowd. Hernandez, 24, needed
only 22 seconds to
knock out Seth
Keeling in their cruis-
erweight bout.
The knockout came
so fast that two of
Hernandez’s three
trainers — Rick Nava
and Moises Cabrillo
— missed the right
uppercut-left hook
combination that sent
a bloody Keeling reel-
ing to the floor.
“I had my head turned away because one
of the officials said I had to sit down (once
the fight starts),” said Nava, who was the
cornerman for Hernandez for the fight. “At
the amateur level, you’re allowed to stand,
so for a split second I forgot the rules were
different at the pro level.”
A second was all it took for the 5-foot-9,
194-pound Hernandez to strike and deliver
a decisive blow. Keeling never saw the
punches coming, as Hernandez delivered a
vicious right uppercut that struck flush on
Keeling’s chin. A dazed Keeling was
already going down when Hernandez
grazed him with a left hook.

Hair care has been relatively easy for the 6-
foot-3, 250-pound lineman until this year.
A native of Burlingame, Calif., Bakhtiari was
as an undrafted free agent out of San Diego in
2008 and spent two weeks on the Chargers’
practice squad before being released and signed
by San Francisco for the rest of the season.

Giants avoid sweep A’s rally to beat Tampa Bay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — This time, Jonathan
Sanchez did his talking on the mound.
Sanchez allowed just two hits while pitch-
ing into the ninth inning and Buster Posey
lined a pair of RBI doubles, leading the San
Francisco Giants over the Philadelphia
Phillies 5-2 Thursday night.
The Giants averted a sweep in a matchup of
NL wild-card contenders, stopping their
three-game slide and ending the Phillies’ four-
game winning streak.
“The last thing you want to do is dig your-
self too big a hole. I thought this was a big
game for the guys,” manager Bruce Bochy
said. “We came out after a tough series against
San Diego at home, then lost the first two
here. To get this last one against a very tough
pitcher is big for this club.”
Sanchez publicly predicted a sweep before
the Giants faced NL West-leading San Diego,
but the Padres beat the left-hander in the open-
ing game and took two of three.
Sanchez (9-8) redeemed himself against the
Phillies, becoming the first Giants starting
pitcher to record a win in 15 games, dating to
his victory over Colorado on Aug. 3. No run-
ner reached second base against the lefty, who
retired 15 straight after hitting Chase Utley
with a pitch in the fourth.
“He had a great look about him,” Bochy
said. “The last couple of starts, especially the

CHICAGO — Will Venable hit a two-run
single in the seventh inning and the San Diego
Padres rallied to beat the Cubs 5-3 Thursday,
completing their first four-game sweep of
Chicago in their 42-year history.
The four-run seventh — capped by
Venable’s dash home when the Cubs weren’t
paying attention to him — made a winner of
Mat Latos and helped the NL West-leading
Padres to their 10th victory in 11 games.
The Cubs lost their seventh straight at
home, their longest skid at Wrigley Field

but you can’t once you say
it. He looked very deter-
mined to get back on
track.”
Sanchez, who was vying
for his first complete game
since his no-hitter against
Pablo Sandoval San Diego on July 10,
2009, came out to start the
ninth with a 5-0 lead. He gave up a leadoff
single to Shane Victorino and was pulled with
a 2-0 count on Placido Polanco.
Sergio Romo retired Polanco on a fly ball,
but Utley singled and Mike Sweeney hit a
two-out, two-run double. Bochy then went to
closer Brian Wilson, who retired Raul Ibanez
on a fly ball for his 34th save in 37 opportuni-
ties.
“We needed the game, to start winning
again,” Sanchez said. “We lost three games in
row. To come back is good for us. I was just
trying to go out, get ahead and make them
swing.”
Victorino had the Phillies’ first hit, a hard
single up the middle in the third.
Pablo Sandoval connected for the Giants,
hitting his ninth homer of the season and first
while batting right-handed. Last season, he hit
25 homers, six off left-handed pitchers.
Washington Nationals beat the Atlanta Braves
6-2 on Thursday.
John Lannan (5-5) gave up two runs and
seven hits in 5 1-3 innings to win his third
straight start.
Derek Lowe (11-11) pitched seven innings
for Atlanta, yielding four runs and six hits.
Braves first baseman Eric Hinske was 0 for
4 with three strikeouts. There should be a new
starter at the position this weekend when
newly acquired Derrek Lee joins the Braves
on Friday when they begin a weekend series
in Chicago.
Cardinals acquire Feliz from Astros
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals got
some help at third base, acquiring Pedro Feliz
from the Houston Astros for minor league
pitcher David Carpenter.
The Cardinals also placed catcher Jason
LaRue on the 60-day disabled list Thursday.
LaRue sustained a concussion in a fracas with
the Reds earlier this month.
Felipe Lopez has been starting at third base
since David Freese was sidelined by injuries
in June and has slumped at the plate and in the

OAKLAND — Cliff Pennington hit a go-
ahead two-run double in the sixth inning, right-
hander Trevor Cahill shook off an unusually
rough start to record his team-leading 13th win
and the Oakland Athletics beat the Tampa Bay
Rays 4-3 on Thursday night.
Cahill, who allowed just one earned run in his
previous 33 innings, gave up a pair of home runs
and was in trouble until Pennington’s two-out hit
off reliever Dan Wheeler.
He got plenty of help from Oakland’s defense,
which turned two double plays. Center fielder
Coco Crisp also made a leaping catch at the wall
to rob Matt Joyce of a home run in the sixth.
Carlos Pena and Evan Longoria homered for
the Rays, who snapped a five-game winning
streak and fell one game behind the Yankees in the
AL East.
It was the third straight win for Oakland after
being held to one hit by Toronto’s Shaun Marcum
on Monday. The A’s also made it back to .500 for
the 21st time this season, two shy of the franchise
most set in 1947 by the Philadelphia A’s.
It wasn’t easy.
Tampa Bay starter Andy Sonnanstine stymied
Oakland’s offense for five innings despite pitch-
ing with runners on base in every inning but one,
while his teammates muscled up in a rare show of
power against Cahill.
Oakland’s right-hander had not allowed a home
run since July 17 before giving up a two-run shot
to Pena in the fourth and a solo shot to Longoria
in the sixth.
The 35-year-old Feliz
started for the Phillies’
2008 World Series team.
He played 97 games for
the Astros this season at
first base and third base,
and was batting .221 with
four homers and 31 RBIs.
He also has the second-

Kevin Kouzmanoff to load the bases then gave up
an RBI grounder to Rajai Davis that made it 3-2.
Pennington followed with a line drive double
down the right field line to give the A’s the lead.
Tampa Bay had been cruising until then with a
3-1 lead.
Pena, who had missed 14 games on the dis-
abled list until being activated Monday, went just
2 for 14 in the Rays’ three-game sweep of Texas
before collecting a pair of hits off Cahill, includ-
ing his team-leading 24th homer.
Longoria’s homer with one out in the sixth
made it 3-1. Joyce nearly added to the Rays lead
two batters later until Crisp jumped at the wall and
caught the ball to rob Joyce of a home run.
Pedroia played two games on a rehab
assignment with Triple-A Pawtucket and was
told the soreness wasn’t unusual.
He said he didn’t expect to be able to go all

WR Ziegler working way onto 49ers roster
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — After three seasons spent
almost entirely on San Francisco’s practice
squad, Dominique Zeigler is making his mark for
the 49ers.
The undrafted free agent receiver has turned
heads in training camp and may have earned a
spot on the active roster as the fourth receiver.
“Dominique’s a unique guy,” coach Mike
Singletary said. “He doesn’t mind going across
the middle, going underneath, doing some of the
dirty work. He’s a guy that does everything for us
and wears a lot of different hats. He can play any
of the receiver positions, gives us some flexibili-
ty. And he’s really good on special teams as
well.”
Zeigler’s versatility became more important to
the 49ers this week after the team released veter-
an receiver Brandon Jones, San Francisco’s top
pickup in 2009 free agency.
The 49ers gave Jones a five-year, $16 million
deal last year, but he became expendable by the
emergence this summer of Zeigler, who wasn’t
drafted in 2007 out of Baylor.
Zeigler made San Francisco’s practice squad
that season and since then has seen numerous
receivers come and go on the roster while he
patiently waited for his opportunity.

Raiders counting heavily on LT Henderson
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NAPA — When Mario Henderson gets beat
in a pass-blocking drill at practice for the
Oakland Raiders, he immediately hits the
ground for his punishment.
With coach Tom Cable watching closely,
Henderson starts doing push-up after push-up
in hopes of building the consistency needed to
succeed in the NFL.
“He’s got a thing where if there is some-
thing I need to correct in my sets, I have to do
50 push-ups,” Henderson said. “It’s tough,
man. After I do that, my sets are straight. It’s
no longer just a regular pass — now I am
thinking if I don’t do this right, it’s 50 more
push-ups. They are tough to do in the middle
of a practice. We just started doing it this year
and it’s going to help me to become better.”
Getting Henderson to play better is a big
part of improving an offense that struggled
mightily last season. Henderson allowed an
NFL-worst 10.5 sacks last season, according
to STATS LLC, and was part of a unit that
slipped from sixth to 21st in the league run-
ning the ball from 2007 to ’09.

done. Hernandez then looked into the crowd
and saw his parents, girlfriend, brother and
friends in the crowd, which included five or
six members of the Redwood City Police
Department.
“It was very emotional,” Hernandez said.
“Everything went so fast, and (in the post-
fight announcement afterward) I looked up
on the big screen and asked Rick, ‘Is that
me?’ He laughed and said, ‘Yeah, that’s you.’
I couldn’t believe it.”
In the days leading up to the fight,
Hernandez actually had a dream that he
would win by knockout.

onds,” he said. “He didn’t even touch my
face.”

neck sprain, Zeigler took snaps with San
Francisco’s first-unit offense during team drills
Wednesday. Zeigler appears to have climbed past
veteran Jason Hill as the 49ers’ No. 4 receiver
behind Crabtree, Josh Morgan and Ted Ginn.
“I knew my time would come as long as I keep
working hard,” Zeigler said. “And when my time
comes, I just have to take grab of it with both
hands.”
Zeigler worked his way onto the 53-man roster
in 2008, then onto the field over the last half of
that season when he had five catches for 97 yards
and contributed seven tackles on special teams.
Zeigler was in competition to make the final
roster last summer before he sustained a high
ankle sprain in San Francisco’s final exhibition
game. He spent the entire 2009 season on the
49ers’ practice squad.
This summer, Zeigler has been one of the
49ers’ more impressive and consistent perform-
ers. He had one catch for 18 yards and returned
one punt 11 yards in San Francisco’s 37-17 pre-
season opener at Indianapolis last week.
“Dominique has had an outstanding camp,”
offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye said. “But a
year ago I saw the same things. It just didn’t
come to fruition because he was injured in the
last exhibition game. This time, he’s stayed,
he’s been healthy and he’s taken another step.
Right now, it’s what you’ve seen in a pretty

counting on Henderson to
return to his late 2008
form this season.

Henderson pleased with what he has
seen from Henderson so
far this summer in terms of run blocking but
wants him to get more consistent with his
footwork in passing situations.
“I just want to clean that up, if we can clean
that up I think we can get him back where he
was playing there for awhile,” Cable said.
When it comes to the passing game in the
modern NFL, a solid left tackle may be only
second in importance to good quarterback
play.
The Raiders thought Henderson could pro-
vide that last season after he ended the 2008
campaign by keeping Richard Seymour,
Mario Williams and Gaines Adams without a
sack and did not commit a penalty as Oakland
won two of its final three games that year.
That performance was a far cry from the
ones turned in by the raw player who entered
the league as a third-round pick out of Florida
Hernandez built an impressive resume as an
amateur, winning numerous Golden Glove
and PAL state championships in compiling a
16-2 record. As he walked into the ring,
Hernandez’s insides were churning.
“But I felt very relaxed,” he said.
So relaxed that Hernandez actually took
two — yes, two! — naps in the locker room
in the hours leading up to the fight. The
Hernandez-Keeling match was the seventh
fight on Phantom Promotion’s Fight Night to
the Playboy Mansion, and they didn’t get
into the ring until 10 p.m. Hence, Hernandez
needed to catch up on some sleep.
After taking his first nap, Hernandez start-
ed warming up and stretching. When an offi-
cial told him his fight was going off after one
more match — roughly 30 to 40 minutes —
Hernandez promptly went back to sleep.
“I was feeling confident, knowing I was
mentally and physically prepared,” he said.
Hernandez wasn’t the only one confident
he would win. When Nava saw his protégé

former coach Lane Kiffin during training
camp in 2008.
Henderson believes the push-ups will help
make him more consistent and get him off the
rollercoaster ride he has been on during his
three-year career.
“It gets you into good habits and when you
are playing tackle, playing well has to become
a habit,” he said. “I have to not even think
about it, to get to a certain spot with my hands
in the right place.”
Dallas got solid play from the offensive line
in the exhibition opener against Dallas, allow-
ing only one sack — which came from up the
middle, not outside against Henderson — and
averaging 4.6 yards per carry.
Henderson figures to get another good test
on Saturday when he likely will match up
against Chicago star end Julius Peppers.
“He’s made some improvements here this
week,” Cable said of Henderson. “I’m kind of
excited, and I think he will be too to match up
with Peppers a little bit in the game.”
Henderson was hurt last year by injuries to
left guard Robert Gallery. With Gallery miss-
ing 10 games because of various injuries,
Henderson did not have his usual security
blanket on the inside.
The rotating guards led to some communi-
cation problems on the line, which have been

was in trouble. Nava said
the gloves amateurs wear
are 12 ounces and bulkier,
thus softening a blow to
the head. Amateur boxers
also wear head gear.
“The 10-ounce gloves
are thinner and I knew
Juan’s punches would be

Hernandez felt,” Nava said. “It was
scary.”
Nava, who also serves as Hernandez’s
manager and promoter, is making a lot of
calls trying to get his fighter another bout.
However, Nava said it’s hard trying to get
promotional companies to put up one of their
own fighters against Hernandez.
“This game is kind of new to us,” Nava
said. “You have matchmakers, promoters and
people under them, and it all seems to be
about who you know (in trying to set up a
fight). Golden Boy Promotions might take a
look at him, and we hope that happens. But

good performance.”
Zeigler, who carries 185 pounds on his slender
6-foot-3 frame, gives the 49ers a tall target that
can play all three wide receiver positions. As he
beat defenders for several catches Thursday,
Zeigler continued to look like a natural.
“We’ve moved him around a bunch in there
and every time he goes in he knows what he’s
doing,” Smith said. “All the quarterbacks feel
good about throwing him the ball in traffic
because he is so strong-handed. He’s a guy that
everyone in the huddle feels good about when he
steps in. He just continues to do it.”

less of a problem now that Gallery is healthy.
“With Robert I can just look at him or he
can look at me. You can nod. It works a lot
better like that sometimes than when you have
a different guy,” Henderson said. “So that’s
kind of good. I know how much you can trust
me and I know how much I can trust him on
some plays.”
Henderson also believes his blocking will
improve because of a change at quarterback
from JaMarcus Russell to Jason Campbell.
Russell was sacked on 11.8 percent of his pass
plays last season, the most in the NFL. The
rate dropped to 6.2 percent with Oakland’s
other quarterbacks.
“Not to bad talk JaMarcus or anything like
that, but there is more definition with Jason,”
Henderson said. “If he says he is dropping
back three steps, it’s going to be three. If he
says seven, it’s going to be seven. It’s not
three and then he drops back seven.
(Campbell) is good at what he does as far as
footwork.”
NOTES: WR Darrius Heyward-Bey missed
his fourth straight practice with what is being
called “fatigue.” ... Among the players unlike-
ly to play Saturday against the Bears are
Heyward-Bey, WR Chaz Schilens (foot), RB
Darren McFadden (hamstring), QB Bruce
Gradkowski (groin), LB Sam Williams (con-
cussion), CB Chris Johnson (hamstring).
as we go forward, we want to protect Juan as
far as managers go. The max managers (are
allowed to take from a boxer’s earnings) is
30 percent, and we don’t want to do that. You
take 30 percent off a boxer (who is trying to
rise up the ranks) and charge him fees for the
gym and equipment, and that’s why fighters
end up with nothing.”
Nava wants to make sure that doesn’t hap-
pen with Hernandez, who in addition to
being an aspiring boxing star, works up to 50
hours a week at two different jobs. Although
Hernandez takes a certain amount of satisfac-
tion as a caretaker and landscaper, his ulti-
mate goal is to one day make a living
through boxing. He knows it’s a long road,
but nothing has deterred him so far.
“I’m going to keep working hard to realize
my dream,” Hernandez said.
The dream is off to a good start.

“It kind of keeps my helmet there, kind of like
keeps it more in place,” he said.
Bakhtiari’s mother gave him a big assist to
help him care for all that hair so his donation
would be in good shape when the time comes to
lop it off.
“When she came out, she saw I was using
some like crappy two-in-one shampoo and con-
ditioner. She said, ‘Uh-uh.’ She went to a salon
er this year to using steroids.
Clemens, who turned 48 this month, ranks
ninth on the career list with 354 victories. He once
was considered a certain first-ballot Hall of
Famer, but getting in at all is now in question.
“In my opinion, he’s a Hall of Famer. Period,”
said New York Yankees slugger Lance Berkman,
who played with Clemens in Houston. “Whatever
you want to say about the guy, he belongs in the
Hall of Fame. In my opinion, legacy-wise, I guess
that’s up to — I mean, 200 years from now, who
cares?
“But in the short term, I guess, he may have
some things to address,” Berkman said. “He’s a
big boy. He’ll face up to whatever it is. But it
First, the World Series tournament is moving
from pool play to a double-elimination format in
the first round, a change that Little League presi-
dent Stephen Keener said eliminates the need for
tiebreakers to determine which squads advance to
the U.S. and international semifinals.
Pitch count rules intended to save wear on the
arms of young hurlers have been modified so they
match regular-season guidelines. Previously, a 12-
year-old who threw at least 66 pitches was
required to rest two days and one game off before
pitching a tournament game again. Now, that
pitcher must rest four days before taking the
mound again.
Also, Little League has expanded the instant
and got me nice shampoo and some real nice
conditioner, some leave-in (conditioner), some
reconditioning mess. All that stuff,” Bakhtiari
said.
Sometimes on special occasions, Bakhtiari
will let his hair down. Don’t even ask the ques-
tion if he’s ever been mistaken for a woman, not
with those broad shoulders. He also hasn’t had
teammates kid him since his rookie days when
his hair was in what he called an awkward stage
. a variety of diseases.
His response? He’d just tell him his reasons
for having long hair.
“Once it got to a certain length, it’s almost like
a fashion thing. There’s a rap song now Lil
Wayne sings ... ‘Long hair don’t care.’ A lot of
guys they don’t understand, I’ll say that back to
them,” Bakhtiari said.
His mission grew even more personal this off-
doesn’t change my opinion of him at all.”
Yankees catcher Jorge Posada, who played
with Clemens on two World Series championship
teams, said he would back his former teammate.
“I’m going to support him and I’m going to be
behind him and that’s all I can say,” Posada said.
MLB did not comment on the indictment. But
many in the game saw it as further validation of
the Mitchell Report, released in December 2007.
Clemens was singled out by name 82 times in
the 409-page report, compiled by former Senate
Majority Leader George Mitchell. Much of the
information on Clemens came from his former
trainer, Brian McNamee, once the Yankees’
strength and conditioning coach.
replay system used only in the World Series to
include force outs, missed bases and hit batters,
and allow managers to challenge certain calls.
Those are decisions reserved for the adults.
As for the players, the days leading up to the
start of the tournament Friday have been a whirl-
wind of getting used to dorm life, making new
friends and conducting media interviews as if they
were big league stars.
They’ll be getting a tutorial from a star, too,
when former major leaguer Andre Dawson, who
was inducted last month into the Baseball Hall of
Fame, holds a hitting clinic for players Friday
morning, three hours before Fairfield, Conn., and
Washington play the tournament’s first game.

season when he visited his old friend in the hos-
pital at Stanford University. She was in isolation,
requiring him to wash carefully and wear scrubs
and a mask to visit her. She’s out of isolation
now.
Bakhtiari hasn’t contacted anyone with Locks
of Love just yet, only checking out the nonprof-
it group’s website to see how long his hair must
be before the donation can be made to children
suffering from long-term medical hair loss from
He will check with the group before cutting
his hair just to make sure he doesn’t make a mis-
take before finishing off this mission. That will
be at the end of the 2010 season.
“I’m hoping I make this team, and we win the
Super Bowl. Then I’ll give away Super Bowl
hair and make a cancer patient a champion,”
Bakhtiari said.
Four days after the report was released,
Clemens issued a categorical denial in a statement
through his agent.
“I am disappointed that my 25 years in public
life have apparently not earned me the benefit of
the doubt, but I understand that Senator Mitchell’s
report has raised many serious questions. I plan to
publicly answer all of those questions at the
appropriate time in the appropriate way. I only
ask that in the meantime people not rush to judg-
ment,” Clemens said.
Clemens and McNamee testified under oath at
the 2008 hearing before a House committee and
contradicted each other about whether the pitcher
had used PEDs.
With his father watching proudly from behind a
fence, Plymouth, Minn., pitcher Nick Tuel played
soft toss Thursday with teammates as they waited
to take a turn at the batting cage. The Minnesota
players stay loose before games by crooning the
tune “Dynamite” by hip hop artist Taio Cruz, and
turning to team pranksters like Tuel.
“I don’t even know what I do,” the 12-year-old
said. “I’m just funny, I guess.”
The managers are pumped, too.
“So far, it’s just kind of been surreal,” said
Auburn, Wash., skipper Kai Nahaku. “Ever since
they’ve earned the right to come here, they’ve been
on Cloud Nine. I’m just hoping I can get them to
focus on a baseball game.”

Wildly entertaining in a totally gimmicky,gratuitous way

By Chritsty Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mere words cannot describe how
awesomely gnarly “Piranha 3D” is,
how hugely entertaining, and how
urgently you must get yourself to
the theater to see it. Like, now.
This is not a joke, by the way.
This movie is a complete blast. To
borrow a phrase from the kind of B-
horror flicks to which “Piranha 3D”
is such a loving and effective hom-
age: Run, don’t walk.
Like “Snakes on a Plane,” which
came out in the dead of summer
four years ago, “Piranha 3D”
knows exactly what it is and does
exactly what it should do. It’s about
piranhas ... in 3-D. Do you really
need to know anything else?
It’s cleverly knowing without col-
lapsing into parody. It makes great
use of its extremely random cast,
including Elisabeth Shue in an
unusually bad-ass role as a sheriff,
Ving Rhames as her deputy and
Jerry O’Connell as a Joe Francis
type. Christopher Lloyd has one
great scene in full-on, crazed
Christopher Lloyd mode as the res-
ident fish expert. The second you
see Eli Roth — playing the emcee
at a wet T-shirt contest, no less —
you know some hideous fate will

Top frightening killer animal flicks
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Animals are our furry,
cuddly companions, unflaggingly loyal and
pure of spirit — except for when they want
to eat us, that is.
Hey, cycle of life, man. Sunrise, sunset.
Recently we looked at the best live-action
animal movies, such as “Babe” and “The
Black Stallion.” Now it’s time to visit the
other end of the spectrum ... if you dare.
With “Piranha 3D” swimming into theaters
and zooming right into your face, here’s a
look at the best of what happens when ani-
mals attack:
“Jaws” (1975): It defined what we’ve
come to know as the summer movie season.
It was the first blockbuster — which, in ret-
rospect, seems like a quaint notion. But its
thrills and chills and suspense are just as
fresh now as they were 35 years ago. Sure,
the mechanical shark that preys on Amity
Island looks a little, well, mechanical com-
pared to the CGI effects that are available
today. But in his youth, Steven Spielberg
was wise enough to know that it’s what you
don’t show — what you just suggest —
that’s even more frightening. And John
Williams’ startling score was simplicity
itself. Clearly, it still isn’t safe to go back in
the water.

Hong Kongers wage campaign against shark fin
By Joyce Woo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HONG KONG — When Steven
Leung and Sylvia Cheung celebrated
their nuptials in this southern Chinese
financial center recently, they lavished
their guests with one sumptuous dish
after another — bird nest soup, lobster,
abalone.
But one traditional dish was missing
from the 13-course Cantonese banquet.
The newlyweds chose not to serve
shark fin soup.
“I saw the cruelty in shark slaughter-
ing in online videos. The way the fish is
dumped back into the water — it is just
inhumane,” Leung said, referring to the
practice of hacking off the fins of
sharks, then setting them free.
The Hong Kong couple are part of
a growing grass-roots movement in
this global hub of shark fin consump-
tion that aims to remove the staple of
gourmet Chinese cuisine from
WEEKEND JOURNAL
restaurant menus.
“Shark fin is not a necessity at ban-
quets, as long as guests are well-treated
and there is good food,” said Cheung.
“We have great substitutes for the soup
that are equally as prestigious and
exquisite.”
For centuries, shark fin — usually
served as soup — has been a coveted
delicacy in Chinese cooking, extolled
for its supposed ability to boost sexual
potency, enhance skin quality, increase
one’s energy (or “qi”), prevent heart
diseases and lower cholesterol.
To prepare for soup, dried fin first is
soaked in water overnight, then boiled
for several hours to soften the cartilage
and remove impurities. It then is
cooked in a rich chicken broth with
salted ham, mushrooms, dried scallops
and abalone. Shark fin itself is tasteless,
but has a slippery and glutinous texture.
It’s an especially cherished menu
item in wealthy Hong Kong, a pricey
status symbol for its materialistic and
THE DAILY JOURNAL
status-conscious people. Depending on
the quantity and the quality of the fin in
the soup, the dish can cost from $10 to
$150 a bowl.
“Hong Kong is the Grand Central
Station in the shark fin trade,” said
Canadian filmmaker Rob Stewart, who
chronicled the shark-hunting industry
in the 2007 documentary “Sharkwater.”
Nearly 80 percent of Cantonese-
speaking residents in the city of 7 mil-
lion had consumed shark fin, according
to a poll conducted by the conservation
group WWF Hong Kong in 2005. The
International Union for the
Conservation of Nature estimates that
the former British colony handles
between 50 to 80 percent of the global
shark fin trade. Hong Kong was the
world’s top importer of shark fin in
2007, taking in 10,209 metric tons, or a
total value of $276.7 million, according
to the latest figures from the United
Nations’ Food and Agricultural
Organization.

Spike Lee explores New Orleans’ woes in new film
NEW YORK — Spike Lee’s new HBO documentary starts
on a high note: Super Bowl Sunday 2010, when the New
Orleans Saints claim victory over the
Indianapolis Colts.
Saints fans, many still reeling from
Hurricane Katrina’s aftershocks, are deliri-
ously happy.
“It’s a rebirth,” says an overjoyed New
Orleans native.
“It’s divine intervention, man,” says
another local.
Spike Lee But cautionary words are voiced as well.
The Saints are world champions, but in the
real world there are bills to pay and neighborhoods to rebuild.
Then, only 17 minutes into “If God Is Willing and da Creek
Don’t Rise,” the BP oil spill enters the narrative.
“We sold our soul for the Super Bowl,” says Dean
Blanchard, fearful that he might lose his seafood business.
The party is over.
Lee, the gifted director and documentarian, had long
planned a return to the Gulf Coast for a five-year follow-up to
his acclaimed “When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four
Acts.”
He began shooting Feb. 7, when the Super Bowl was played.
The triumph by the Saints seemed a glorious conclusion for
his new film.

Moscato making a splash
By Michelle Locke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NAPA — Call it moscato momentum.
An old grape is winning new fans as
more people turn to the sweet, floral
wine that’s easy on the purse and the
palate.
“It’s kind of hitting that tipping
point,” says James Nunes, managing
director of marketing at Sutter Home
Family Vineyards in the Napa Valley.
Sutter Home has been making a mosca-
to since the ’50s and it has always sold
well, but in the last year sales have taken
off, he says.
Nationally, in the last year sales of
moscato were up nearly 79 percent to
just over 1 million cases in food store
sales, says wine industry consultant Jon
Fredrikson of Woodside-based
Gomberg, Fredrikson and Associates.
That’s still only a fraction of the market;
chardonnay sales, for instance, amount-
ed to almost 16 million cases for the
same period.
But it’s a significant increase, and
welcome news for an industry that has-
n’t had a lot to cheer about lately.
“It’s exciting,” says Fredrikson.
“People are always on the quest to find
the latest new thing and it’s caught on

is going to appreciate.” Sweet and light with overtones of citrus and orange blossom, moscato is known

thousands upon thousands of them. The pira-
nhas have razor-sharp teeth and ferocious
eyes, but they almost look as if they’re smiling
as they prepare to tear into some unsuspecting
fool’s flesh. A seismic shift beneath the lake
created a rift that unleashed these prehistoric
creatures. Now they’re here, and they’re hun-
gry.
In classic horror-movie fashion, the victims
get picked off one by one. Sheriff Julie
Forester (Shue) and Deputy Fallon (Rhames)
discover the first body and call in the scientif-
ic experts, led by Adam Scott (cast against
type). But containing the fish is as difficult as
stopping the partyers from dancing on boats in
their bikinis to generic house music. And so
when the inevitable bloodbath happens — and

wink and a smile. “Piranha 3D” knows it
needs to titillate on every level.
Visually, though, it was shot in 2-D and then
converted to add a third dimension, but it
looks better than other films that have fol-
lowed the same path, including M. Night

Still, some of the underwater mayhem is a bit
hard to make out, especially when the fish are
doing their damage in darkened caves.

from a keg and it shoots right at you. A girl
has too many tequila shots and yacks off the
side of the boat and into your lap. And of
course there are the fish, zooming right at you
to take a bite.
There could be a moral to this story: Don’t
go to the lake and act like a cheesy, drunk
idiot during spring break. But that would be
no fun.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
STUDENTS
Continued from page 1
lar opportunities are not a fit for all.
Patrick Lucy, who works for the San
Mateo County Sheriff’s Office, was
tired of running into kids he watched
grow up alongside his own daughter
end up making bad decisions.
“I was pissed,” he said.
Thankfully, Lucy is the kind of guy
who gets motivated when he wants
things to change. He set out to change
what happens after these students make
decisions that get a student kicked out
of school. This month, the South San
Francisco Unified High School District
had seven boys and their parents partic-
ipate in as yet unnamed five-day pilot
program aimed at giving expelled stu-
dents the chance to reflect, evaluate
their decision-making skills, learn
about opportunities and return to
school. But it’s not just about the kids.
Parents and legal guardian participate
as well, making the program an educa-
tional experience for everyone. Those
seven students all started at new, tradi-
tional schools within the district on
Tuesday — just like the majority of stu-
dents within the district.
The idea started out of frustration.
Lucy saw students get expelled, spend
their time outside of the classroom and
then go back to school. Sometimes the
student was in a different school but
there was no other help for students and
parents.
Lucy recalled being a youth who did-
n’t listen to his parents, so why would
we expect that from these kids? He did-
n’t. Instead, Lucy asked for help from
probation officers, and people involved
with rehabilitation programs Project
Ninety and the Jericho Project to speak
with the students. Doing so allowed
adults — many of whom have made
many of the same bad decisions that got
the kids expelled — to talk about the
ramifications of continuing to make
negative decisions.
“It has been surreal for me to see all
this come together and the impact it has
made on all of us,” said board President
Liza Normandy, which included the
people who helped it come together,
speakers, students and parents. “There
were tears, hugs and through it all we
all learned. ... Those guest speakers
were powerful and gave our youth
hope, advice and guidance to make the
choice to make it better. As a member
of the Board of Trustees, I am proud
that we were able to provide such an
alternative for our students.”
Joel Rebello, counselor for the dis-
trict who worked with the group over
the five days, saw the best responses
from the students when talking with
people from Project Ninety and Jericho
Project.
TARMAC
Continued from page 1
briefly with the man, asking him his
name and where his bags were. They
then led the man off the plane in hand-
cuffs, Latham said.
Latham and his wife, 25-year-old
Emma Bullen, were returning home
from their honeymoon, a trip that includ-
ed stops in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San
Diego and San Francisco.
After the threat was received Thursday
morning, the TSA requested that the
plane be moved to a remote location as a
precaution.
“We were miles from everywhere,”
“They told the boys to speak up. They
already got in trouble. That kind of
honesty, and to bring it up in front of
the students, [really impacted the stu-
dents],” he said.
It wasn’t just about talking. The stu-
dents visited the jail and spent one day
doing community service cleaning up
the Baden High School campus.
Lucy stood before the guys and their
parents on the program’s last day —
Monday night — and asked who
thought the outside work was punish-
ment. A couple of hands went up. Did
anyone disagree?, he asked.
Some did.
“It’s like we’re giving back for the
stuff we did,” said 13-year-old Derrick
G.
Lucy agreed. Getting into trouble is
not just about the person who ends up
punished; it affects others too.
“You’ve taken up a lot of people’s
time,” said Lucy who noted the paper-
work and meetings that go along with a
possible expulsion.
Then there is also the impact on the
person’s family. And negative decisions
do impact families.
Take 13-year-old Robert T., who was
having a tough time at school, for
example. He was getting into fights and
the final straw was when he got caught
selling codeine pills, all due, he said, to
peer pressure. His mom saw this but
admitted to being lenient about it all.
Derrick G.’s aunt felt disconnected to
what was going on. She pointed to the
difference in age and literally a lack of
information about his world as it is
vastly different from that of her own
childhood.
Kids and parents/guardians alike took
quizzes to learn about their decision-
making style, or lack thereof, drugs,
alcohol and peer pressure. And alto-
gether, the group learned about things
everyone missed like how many calo-
ries are in one ounce of alcohol or the
best way to deal with someone on hero-
in.
“This is really education for the par-
ent as well. I feel empowered,” said
Derrick G.’s aunt.
She may not know all the answers,
but she felt better prepared to deal with
Latham said.
He said the mood on the plane was
tense but calm throughout the wait. One
person at a time was allowed to use the
rest room, and no one was permitted to
access the overhead bins, he said.
Hours later, passengers were removed
from the plane six at a time, Latham
said. San Francisco police checked each
passenger with a wand and inspected the
carry-on luggage.
Everyone was then taken back to the
terminal on a bus, he said.
The flight was originally scheduled to
leave San Francisco at 7:40 a.m. but was
delayed for unrelated reasons until 9:15
a.m., passengers said. Boarding began at
about 8:45 a.m.
Passenger Jay Sears, 43, said he
received an automated call at about

the issues now.
And the parents weren’t alone. As the
last meeting got to the halfway point, a
parent asked what the teens wanted to
change about themselves.
Changing the decision-making
process was a universal answer
amongst the youth. And all were excit-
ed about the opportunity to go back to
school, a different one from the one
they attended when they got into trou-
ble and were optimistic about the fresh
start.
Mel C., 17, started at South San
Francisco High on Tuesday. Since he
was expelled in January, he hasn’t been
doing much. Without the program,
that’s what he would be doing today —
literally. Instead he’s in class, working
toward an education he may not have
otherwise achieved.
Trustee Maurice Goodman stressed
the importance of supporting students
who simply made a bad decision.
“I see a lot of these kids in myself.
These kids are me. We see a lot of our-
selves on them. We want to focus on
them. … This is a change-their-life
opportunity,” he said.
The alternative to expulsion program
is just beginning. It’s an attempt to look
at discipline in a different light.
Goodman was hopeful to see the pro-
gram be offered more often and to more
students going forward.
Rebello echoed the hope for reaching
more students.
“A lot of my kids could use this,” he
said.
He plans to hold a focus group with
the students in the future to check in.
Parents also put contact information
together at the end of the program.
Lucy suggested if anyone needed help
to simply ask, reach out to someone
else.
Starting a new program during a time
when most districts are laying people
off may seem counterintuitive. This
pilot program is volunteer-based at this
point with the only cost being Rebello’s
hours over the five days, since he’s a
district employee, said John Thompson,
assistant superintendent of personnel
for the district. Of course, Thompson
doesn’t expect to sustain it at that level
always, but the learning experience will
hopefully create a new opportunity for
students within the district.
Normandy has already noticed a dif-
ference in the small group of teens who
took part in the inaugural group.
“As I dropped off my freshman to
South San Francisco High School on
the first day school,” she said, “I ran
into one of the alternative to expulsion
students and he had on his new shoes, a
smile and shared his commitment to
make his life better not just for himself,
but for his family.”

12:30 a.m. Thursday informing him of
the initial delay. He was not expecting
what happened after that.
“I should be in New York right now,”
he said from SFO Thursday afternoon.
Shortly before 2 p.m., Palo Alto resi-
dent Anne Anderson was waiting at the
American Airlines ticket counter to be
reunited with her 20-year-old son Mike,
who had been on Flight 24 on his way to
football camp at Yale University.
She was shopping in Marin County
yesterday morning when she began to
receive calls and texts from her son say-
ing he was stuck for an “unknown rea-
son.”
One text said the crew was not allow-
ing anyone to stand up.
Passengers on Flight 24 were

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
NORMA M. COLEY
Case Number 120359
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Norma M. Coley. A Pe-
tition for Probate has been filed by: Mari-
lyn J. Budelov in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition of Probate requests that Marilyn
J. Budelov be appointed as personal rep-
resentative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: September 14,
2010 at 9:00 a.m., Dept: 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of the
petition, you should appear at the hear-
ing and state your objections or file writ-
ten objections with the court before the
hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Steak and peas — summer style
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Steak and peas go so nicely
together, but who wants to chase
peas around their plate with a fork?
I decided to tinker a bit and see if
I could find a better way to marry
these fine summer foods. The result
was this grill-friendly open-face
sandwich that seasons sirloin with a
peppery garlic-lime marinade, then
serves it over toasted sourdough
slathered with a mildly spicy hum-
mus made from peas.
The combination is fresh and
jammed with flavor. If peas aren’t
your thing, you could substitute
guacamole for the hummus, or even
a more traditional chickpea hummus
(purchased or otherwise).
While the pea hummus is best
prepared just before serving, the
steak can be marinated for about to
about 8 hours.
GRILLED STEAK
WITH PEA HUMMUS
Start to finish: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
For the steak:
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic
Pinch red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon whole black pepper-
corns
1 1/4 pounds tri-tip or sirloin
steak, trimmed of fat and cut into
If peas aren’t your thing,you could substitute guacamole for the hummus,
or even a more traditional chickpea hummus.
1/2-inch-thick slices
For the pea hummus:
8-ounce bag fresh or frozen peas
(thawed and drained, if frozen)
4 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon lime juice
4 Peppadew peppers (or other
mildly sweet and spicy peppers)
Salt and ground black pepper, to
taste
4 thick slices sourdough bread
2 tablespoons butter
In a blender, combine the vinegar,
lime juice, oil, garlic, red pepper
flakes, salt and peppercorns. Blend
until mostly smooth, then pour into
a medium stainless steel or other
non-reactive bowl. Add the steak,
turn to coat evenly, then refrigerate
for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the pea hum-
mus. Fill a medium bowl with ice
WEEKEND JOURNAL
and cold water.
In a small saucepan, bring about
1/2 inch of water to a boil. Add the
peas and steam for 3 minutes. Drain
and transfer the peas to the ice
water. When the peas are cooled,
drain again and transfer to a food
processor.
Add the garlic, lime juice and
Peppadews. Pulse until chunky
smooth, then season with salt and
pepper. Set aside.
Heat a grill to high.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter
over each slice of bread, then grill
briefly to toast. Set aside.
Grill the steak for 2 to 3 minutes,
or until desired doneness.
To serve, slather pea hummus
over each slice of bread, then top
with steak.

Jim Kohn
San Francisco Fine Arts Museum
Docent Jim Kohn speaks on
“Impressionist Paris: City of
Light,” showing at the Legion of
Honor Museum through Sept. 26.
La Ville-Lumière — ”the City
of Light”: Paris earned
this nickname during
the 19th century with
the proliferation of
gas lamps that
lit up the
French capital,
turning night
into day and boost-
ing its economic
vitality. Moreover, the
radiance of the metropo-
lis transcended the glow of
its streetlights as Paris ascended to
its role as the cultural capital of
Europe. Authors, composers, and
especially visual artists—painters,
sculptors, printmakers and photog-
raphers—thrived in this dazzling
setting. Impressionist Paris: City of
Light explores various aspects of
life in and around the city in which
these artists came of age. Visitors
to the exhibition are transported to
Impressionist Paris as represented
in over 150 prints, drawings, pho-
tographs, paintings and illustrated
books from the Fine Arts Museums
of San Francisco and several dis-
tinguished private collections.
The Burlingame Public Library
is located at 480 Primrose Road,
Burlingame. Kohn speaks at 7 p.m.
Thursday, Aug. 26 at the
Burlingame Public Library. For
information call 558-7400.

Mary Roach
Drop into the Belmont Public
Library at 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 30
and have a glass of Tang with Mary
Roach, author of “Packing For
Mars.” Amazon’s Lynette Mong
said, “With her wry humor
and inextinguishable
curiosity, Mary Roach
has crafted her own
quirky niche in the
somewhat
staid world of
science writ-
ing, showing
no fear (or shame)
in the face of cadav-
ers, ectoplasm or sex.
In ‘Packing for Mars,’
Roach tackles the strange sci-
ence of space travel, and the psy-
chology, technology and politics
that go into sending a crew into
orbit. Roach is unfailingly inquisi-
tive (Why is it impolite for astro-
nauts to float upside down during
conversations? Just how smelly
does a spacecraft get after a two-
week mission?) ‘Packing for Mars’
is a book for grownups who still
secretly dream of being astronauts
and Roach’s zeal for discovery,
combined with her love of the
absurd, amazing and stranger-than-
fiction, make ‘Packing for Mars’ an
uproarious trip into the world of
space travel.” Don’t know why
Tang is being served? Stop by and
find out. The Belmont Public
Library is located at 1110 Alameda
de las Pulgas, Belmont. For infor-
mation call 591-8286.
