Fire contract splits council on its budget

Out-of-character June rain drenched the Peninsula yesterday,including the streets of San Carlos,left,and San Mateo,above.With two days left in the month,this June is the second-wettest on record, according to weather forecasters. There is a chance of showers today and the skies are set to clear by Thursday.

San Carlos Mayor Andy Klein refused to approve the citys budget after a majority of his colleagues repealed a provision in the re service contract with Redwood City that will eat away at its nancial cushion. Klein was joined by Councilman Randy Royce in unsuccessfully opposing the Andy Klein removal of a sleep provision but stood alone in voting against the entire $55.6 million operating and redevelopment agency budget. You cant add services back and then salary and benet enhancements for reghters. Thats how we got into this situation in the rst place. It took us 30 minutes to go back to where we were before, Klein said, referring to the citys decade of deep cuts to close budget decits.

$3.6M surplus for waste agency Man with machete facing


Extra money means fee drop for customers
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Fewer operating costs, less employee benets and a new recycling center operator added up to a $3.6 million budget surplus for RethinkWaste, the countys primary waste service agency. The unexpectedly high revenue is a payout on a promise of savings made when the South Bayside Waste Management Authority Board rebranded as RethinkWaste sold bonds

in 2009 for the Shoreway Environmental Center, said Kevin McCarthy, executive director of RethinkWaste. The increase is also indicative that recycling, which was predicted at 10 percent improvement, actually jumped 20 percent to 30 percent since customers began using a single-stream system, said Brian Moura, chair of the SBWMA board and San Carlos assistant city manager. There weve kind of hit a home run, he said.

The customers always right
A customer punched a stores manager in the face on Whipple Avenue in Redwood City before 8:24 p.m. Thursday, June 23. els to make it more affordable to install solar panels on a home or business. Such nancing takes many forms, including loans, sale-leaseback arrangements and similar transactions. These transactions have led to thousands of solar installations and green jobs Jerry Hill throughout the state. Solar energy systems have been installed utilizing the property tax reassessment exclusion under existing law. But because there was concern about ambiguity in the law, Hill introduced his legislation. ABCs 15 claries existing law so solar projects in California can continue to receive the tax assessment exclusion that was rst adopted by voters in 1980 with Proposition 7. Newly constructed active solar energy systems are often sold in sale-leaseback arrangements or others transactions to purchasers, according to an Assembly analysis of the bill. It is the Legislatures intent that the purchaser of the active solar energy system in such a transaction receive an exclusion. The law also applies to active solar energy systems that are constructed as freestanding or parking lot canopies, or that are constructed as installations on existing buildings. The exclusion lasts only until theres a change in ownership of the building, according to the bills language. The ambiguity in the law caused SunEdison to reserve millions of dollars on its balance sheet related to California solar transactions, Hill said. More importantly, the company has frozen new solar project development in California after planning on investing up to $1.2 billion in new projects in the coming few years. The company is the co-market leader in California, Hill said. Gov. Brown and Hill were having dinner together Monday night in Sacramento when a staff member from the governors ofce approached the two with the solar tax bill in hand for the governors signature. The bill swept through the state Senate and Assembly with more than two-thirds approval. He signed the bill in front of me over dinner, Hill said. It was very exciting. Cleaning up the ambiguity in the law removes the biggest obstacle in SunEdisons planned move to Belmont, Hill said.

Solar tax incentive bill signed


By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Gov. Jerry Brown signed off on a bill Monday night that should help the state retain and recruit thousands of green jobs related to solar installation and maintenance. Brown signed Assembly Bill X1 15, authored by Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, that extends tax incentives available for solar power projects. The bill paves the way for solar giant SunEdison, the bills sponsor, to relocate its headquarters from Baltimore to the Peninsula. The law went into effect yesterday. Solar power systems added to a property are generally excluded from tax-rate reassessment and AB X1 15 now gives solar power systems sold in sale-leaseback deals the same exemption. Hills declarative bill claries the types of nancing that can be used as incentives for solar installations on homes and businesses in the state. The bill provides tax certainty for solar companies in the state that decide to grow their businesses, Hill said. In November 1980, 65 percent of California voters approved Proposition 7 to allow the Legislature to adopt a tax exclusion to benet solar programs. The Legislature then enacted Revenue and Taxation Code, Section 73 to give effect to Proposition 7 that may have added some ambiguity to the law on who was liable to pay for increased property tax assessments related to the installation of solar systems when the property was sold. Even though these nancing arrangements on solar energy systems have been utilizing the property tax exclusion for years under existing law, a property tax staff member at the states tax agency has argued that there might be ambiguity in the law and it should be claried, according to Hills ofce. SunEdison, which is continuing to work with state ofcials to complete its relocation, plans to move about 100 employees from Maryland and San Francisco to its new Belmont ofce just east of Highway 101 and add more than 400 new staff. SunEdison rst contacted Hill in 2010 about its potential move. Since then, he has worked with the company, state and Belmont ofcials to coordinate the move. But legislation was required, he said. With the expansion of solar in the state, companies have developed different nancing mod-

South City mayor expresses redistricting concerns


New Assembly,Senate district lines will split North County city
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Local briefs
South City wants community input on Grand Boulevard vision
Imagine El Camino Real as a place where it is safe to walk or ride a bike, where new apartments open onto public plazas, sidewalk cafes and bustling districts and where the historic downtowns of cities such as South San Francisco and Millbrae enjoy a renaissance. South San Francisco is working on a plan for a corridor with a mix of new homes, jobs, shops and parks that realizes the vision of a Grand Boulevard of meaningful destinations. On Thursday, be a part of a presentation and discussion on the future of El Camino Real. The El Camino Real corridor, which includes Caltrain, BART, historic downtowns, large central parks, shopping malls and plenty of potential, is the backbone of the Peninsula and it is ready for its next act. The Walk the Talk Forum will begin at 5:30 p.m. with introductions, refreshments and open house. South San Francisco Mayor Kevin Mullin will give the opening remarks at 6 p.m. followed by a presentation from Michele Beasley of Greenbelt Alliance. Residents will then have an opportunity to voice their opinions and participate in a group discussion. The meeting will end at 7:30 p.m. To RSVP visit http://ga.convio.net/site/Calendar/1364664636?view=Detail&i d=100801.

Redrawing legislative district lines could split South San Francisco a move elected officials say will hurt the citys ability to have a voice with state representatives. The Citizens Redistricting Commissions first draft of the new district lines for Assembly, state Senate and Congress splits South San Francisco. Currently the city is in single Assembly and Senate districts. Under the proposal, the city would be split into two Assembly and Senate districts one paired with San Francisco and the other with a majority of San Mateo County. This week, South San Francisco Mayor Kevin Mullin sent a letter to the commission, with input from the City Council and staff, voicing concerns about the proposal. I understand they have to draw the line somewhere literally. It would certainly be a good thing for my community to stay whole, Mullin said. As currently proposed, the western border of the north San Mateo County Assembly district would be Chestnut Avenue in South City between Hillside Boulevard and El Camino Real. Those who live west of Chestnut Avenue will be grouped with the Daly City and San Francisco Assembly District, currently represented by Assemblywoman Fiona

Ma-D, San Francisco. A similar split is proposed for the Senate. If the current boundaries reflected in the first draft maps remain unchanged, it would Kevin Mullin negatively impact the city of South San Francisco, Mullin wrote. It would interfere with the citys ability to advance its interests in a cohesive and efficient manner and the city of South San Francisco would be faced with the challenge of coordinating the efforts of two Assembly and two Senate members who would likely have competing interests with the other communities that they represent. Mullin understands lines must be drawn. If the city must be split, he would like to see neighborhoods stay together at a minimum. The current configuration, for example, splits the Sierra Highlands neighborhood. Mullin would also prefer larger streets be used as barriers rather than small side roads. Otherwise, the split could be confusing to residents. In decades past, the lines were redrawn by the state Legislature and governor but this year the lines will be redrawn by the Citizens Redistricting Commission, a panel of 14 comprised

of five Democrats, five Republicans and four not affiliated with any party. The Citizens Redistricting Commission was formed in November by the state auditors office in accordance with Proposition 11, the Voters FIRST Act passed by state voters in 2008. Using the most recent census numbers, the commission redrew boundaries and released the first draft earlier this month. Public comments were due by last night. Updated maps should be released July 14 with the final map expected Aug. 15. The commission must draw the district lines in conformity with strict, nonpartisan rules designed to create districts of relatively equal population that will provide fair representation for all Californians. Now, Assembly districts are comprised of 423,000 people. After hearing from the public and drawing the maps for the congressional districts, 40 state Senate districts, 80 Assembly districts and four Board of Equalization districts, the commission must vote on the new maps to be used for the next decade.

U.S.rep.to renew bill over military medical suits


By Mitch Stacy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TAMPA, Fla. A congressman said Tuesday hell renew efforts to strip military hospitals of their protection against lawsuits over mistakes made in treating service members, now that the U. S. Supreme Court has declined to hear a case that could have done away with the protections. The Supreme Court on Monday did not comment in refusing to hear a California case, Witt vs. U.S., that activists had considered their best chance in a generation to remove malpractice liability shields for military hospitals. The case concerned a 25-year-old

Air Force staff sergeant, Dean Patrick Witt, who died after a nurse put a tube down the wrong part of his throat during a routine appendectomy. A 1950 Supreme Maurice Court decision Hinchey known as the Feres Doctrine blocked a lawsuit by his family seeking redress from the hospital. The effort to change the law has gotten wide support from military ofcers and veterans groups, including seven that had led briefs in Witts case to demonstrate the pub-

lics interest to the justices. After the Supreme Court declined to act, U.S. Rep Maurice Hinchey said hell reintroduce legislation this year to change the law, but hes likely facing an uphill battle. The law has survived myriad legal challenges over the years and various congressional efforts to overturn it. In 2009, a bill co-sponsored by the New York Democrat in the name of a 29-year-old Marine sergeant and Iraq war veteran who died of skin cancer his family claims was misdiagnosed got some traction, but not enough. Republican lawmakers derided the measure, saying that opening up the military to lawsuits would be expensive and benet trial lawyers more than service families.

If the law is changed, it could expose the federal government to billions of dollars in liability claims. That makes it highly unlikely a divided Congress desperate to cut expenses will act on its own to change it. The Congressional Budget Ofce estimated it would cost the government an average of $135 million every year in claims. If the law were made retroactive, the estimated price tag was $2.7 billion over the next 10 years. Hinchey argued that the cost would be less than estimated because the law would result in a better level of care in military hospitals and fewer negligence claims. He said federal prisoners have more rights than service members and

their families when it comes to seeking damages for medical malpractice. It is disappointing that the Supreme Court has again failed to correct the mistake it made 61 years ago when it wrongly decided Feres, Hinchey said. Jamal Alsaffar, whose Austin, Texas, law rm represented the Witt family, said he and other activists had high hopes that this case would be the one to change the law. He sees Hincheys effort in Congress as the best hope now. Were not going to give up the ght for these military families, Alsaffar said Tuesday. Were going to do whatever we can do to right this wrong.

Who Are private HEROES ? How Firefighters Set Example


By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Firefighters are public HEROES! In the way that members of our Military travel to foreign war zones and risks their own lives in the name of preventing terrorism and in the way our Police Officers enter a sketchy part of town to apprehend suspects whove harmed others and may do more harm the same goes for our Firefighters who are trained to enter potentially explosive situations to prevent the spread of fires and rescue those caught in hazardous peril. These public HEROES touch our lives on a daily basis, most times without our knowledge. Our general safety and well-being can be attributed to the day to day actions of our public HEROES. With the recent joint-funeral for the two San Francisco Firefighters who died in the line of duty it is important to acknowledge their lives and say thank you. These public HEROES had a natural inclination to help others above their own selves. Their efforts to serve the public were of great value, and that value is to be remembered and admired. Just like we learn from the funerals of our public HEROES, we can learn from the funerals of those who have touched our personal lives our private HEROES. Family, friends, local acquaintances and even those we know of but dont know personally have the ability to affect us in ways we may not be consciously aware. We ourselves also have the potential to affect the lives of others in ways were not aware. A single act of kindness; the opening of a door; a caring gesture; a supportive word; an offer to help; volunteering in a service club; etc. all set examples for others to emulate and absorb as a part of their own life-experience. Both public HEROES and private HEROES enrich our lives and help us as individuals to be little bit better. When ever we attend a funeral (the deceased being present) or memorial (the deceased not being present) we always learn about how the deceased affected the lives of others. Also, our attendance not only shows the family that we care, but in a positive way can affect the familys healing process. To us what may seem a small caring gesture may be an enormous life moment to the person we are affecting. We never know how we affect the lives of others but its a fact that we do so every day. These kind acts, unconscious and conscious, along with other small acts potentially make us each a private HERO in the eyes of those weve affected. It doesnt matter how minor youve touched somebodys life it matters that they were able to take something away and enrich their own life with your kind act. Just like public HEROES whose actions affect our daily well-being, private HEROES have the power to positively affect the lives of their family, friends, and those they interact with on a daily basis. When our work on earth is done and our lives conclude we each can be remembered as a private HERO for the way we touched the lives of those weve left behind. If you ever wish to discuss cremation, funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650) 588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you in a fair and helpful manner.

State bill would ease farmworker unionization
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has until midnight Tuesday to act on a bill that would make it easier for unions to organize farmworkers in California, but growers characterize the legislation as a union powergrab. The bill would allow farmworkers to organize by signing a petition away from the fields, rather than holding a secret ballot election as they do now. Unions say the current system leads to intimidation by employers, while farmers say a petition system would make it easier for union organizers to bully workers into joining. Growers and other business groups also say greater unionization in the fields will boost food prices. Former Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed similar legislation four times, but officials with the United Farm Workers union say they believe the so-called card-check bill has a better chance with Brown, a Democrat.

Senators: Delay Medicare eligibility

Co-founder Biz Stone leaving Twitter


LOS ANGELES Isaac Biz Stone is moving on from Twitter, just five years after co-founding the microblogging site that has become integral to the social media scene around the globe. Stone, 37, said Tuesday on his blog that he will work with the company for many years to come, but that the most effective use of his time now is to get out of the way of Twitters crew and leadership team until hes called upon to be of some specific use. Stone says he plans to focus on helping schools, nonprofits and company advisory boards. Hes also relaunching Obvious Corp. with fellow Twitter co-founder Evan Williams to develop new projects. The move comes as Twitter has been trying to build upon its popularity to make more money by selling more ads.

WASHINGTON Two Senate rebels jumped into Congress cut-the-decit competition on Tuesday, proposing to raise the age of Medicare eligibility to 67 and increase monthly premiums for millions of current beneciaries. We cant save Medicare as we know it, said Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., who authored the plan with Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma. We can only save Medicare if we change it, he added in an apparent jab at President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats. Democrats reacted with criticism of the proposal, which Coburn said was designed to rescue the nancially imperiled program and help the nation confront a wall of debt. Republicans betrayed no sign of support either. If nothing else, the response underscored the difculty of legislative free-lancing at a time the Obama administration and congressional leaders are struggling to negotiate a compromise that cuts future decits and clears

the way for an increase in the nations $14.3 trillion debt. Without a debt limit increase by Aug. 2, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has warned, the government could default, risking calamity for the U.S. economy and serious effects worldwide. Republicans walked out of bipartisan talks last week but nevertheless said negotiations had been fruitful. In the days since, Obama has stepped up his personal involvement in the effort. After meeting separately with the Senates Republican and Democratic leaders on Monday, he invited the Democratic leadership to a White House meeting on Wednesday. In the earlier talks, led by Vice President Joe Biden, key lawmakers had outlined a series of proposals to cut several hundred billion dollars over the next decade.

Other proposed cuts were on the table, including nearly $1 trillion from the assumed end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ofcials familiar with the negotiations say Republicans are reluctant to count that money toward any agreement, saying they want more tangible cuts in domestic programs before agreeing to vote for an increased debt limit. Also in the way of an agreement is a partisan dispute over taxes, which Republicans dont want raised, and Medicare benets, which Democrats dont want cut. Lieberman and Coburn were not nearly as reluctant, including both in their prescription for Medicare. Nobodys going to like this plan, we understand that, said Lieberman, who was the Democratic vice presidential candidate in 2000 but is now an independent who regularly picks spots to challenge his former party.

California redistricting could imperil GOP House seats


By Kevin Freking
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Democrats hoping to regain the majority in the House in 2012 might get a strong head start in California, where voters have handed the authority for drawing political boundaries to an independent citizens commission. Analysts studying the panels work are predicting that three to five seats now in Republican hands will move into the Democratic camp in next years general election. Such a swing could give Democrats an

edge toward the magic number 24 the number of GOP-held seats theyll need to win if they are to regain the House majority. Republicans account for roughly 31 percent of Californias voters and 36 percent of its congressional delegation at 53 members, the nations largest. Democrats comprise 44 percent of the states voters and 62 percent of its congressional delegation. One vacancy in a Democratic-leaning district will be lled after a special election in July. About 1 out of every 5 California voters declines to declare a party preference.

Matt Rexroad, a Republican redistricting consultant from Sacramento said some of the 19 GOP lawmakers in the states congressional delegation probably should have lost their seats a decade ago because of Californias dwindling percentage of Republican voters. But after the 2000 Census, the Democratic-controlled Legislature drew new congressional boundaries that were intended to protect incumbents from both parties. Now, the California Citizens Redistricting Commission is drawing those lines, and incumbency is not a factor.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Foster City Planning Commission will hold a Special Study Session at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, July 7, 2011 to review and consider the Climate Change background report and Foster City Snapshot report, prepared for the Update of the Land Use and Circulation Element of the General Plan. The City of Foster City General Plan is the guiding document for the future vision of the City. The Land Use and Circulation Element establishes a pattern for land use and sets out clear standards for the density of population and the intensity of development for each of the proposed land uses, with a direct tie between the timing, amount, type and location of development with the trafc, service and infrastructure demands such development will generate. The update of the Foster City General Plan (adopted in 1993) is necessary because many of the objectives stated in the existing General Plan have been met. A ew General Plan is required to address new planning issues that will emerge. The updated General Plan is intended to be a map for the future that will guide the development and growth of the City while maintaining and enhancing the quality of life The Climate Change background report will incorporate information obtained from the Foster City Ad Hoc Environmental Sustainability Task Force (EST F) Recommended Sustainability Action Plan as well as State requirements, and will outline possible policies and actions that are pertinent to the Land Use and Circulation Element. The report will include how the ESTF recommendations relate to the various General Plan elements, and how the recommendations could be incorporated. The Foster City Snapshot report is a culmination of the background reports that summarizes the data and analysis collected and conducted throughout the process. It is reective of where Foster City is at this point in time. The report will showcase the Citys strengths, divulge any perceived weaknesses, and identify policies and programs that could be adopted in the General Plan to take the City where we want to go in the next 5 to 10 years.

Cuomos win on marriage sparks presidential talk
NEW YORK New York Gov. Andrew Cuomos successful push to legalize gay marriage in his state has made him a national hero to liberal voters and has sparked talk of a potential presidential bid for Cuomo in 2016.

Patients Achieve up to 100% Relief from Chronic Lower Back and Neck Pain Without Drugs or Surgery
F
or millions of people who suffer from chronic lower back pain, Spinal Decompression Therapy frequently offers far more effective treatment than less conservative therapies. Many patients find that Spinal Decompression Therapy provides both immediate and longterm relief. It is a noninvasive therapy that achieves results without surgery, injections, or medications. It can provide relief for herniated discs, degenerative discs, sciatica, general lower back pain, and even failed back surgery. I liked the idea that Spinal Decompression Therapy wasnt invasive, said Paul Pratt, a firefighter for over 30 years. I liked the idea that there were no pharmaceuticals involved and that there was no cutting involved. I was very optimistic, and was thinking that this might work for me. Weeks into his treatment, Pratt began to experience a dramatic change for the better. It just got better and better, he said. I think in my third week of therapy I felt like something had moved. The pain from the sciatica had started to go away. I was getting sensation back. By the end of his therapy, Pratt says he was completely free of pain. His life was back to normal. many smaller nerves to the thigh, knee, calf, ankle, foot, and toes. Spinal discs are sometimes compared to jelly doughnuts. If too much pressure is put on one, the jelly can squirt out. In the human anatomy, this condition is known as a herniated disc. When compressed, the space between vertebrae is reduced, allowing bones to touch nerves. makes the decompression treatment much more effective and comfortable, since the patients body is not fighting against the pull of a machine. A Comfortable Procedure Many patients are a little apprehensive the first time they come in and get on the machine, Dr. Crespo said. However, once they get on it, they all react the same way. There is an immediate sense of relief once the machine starts pulling. They look at you and say My pains gone. After that, its just a matter of them getting comfortable with it. After awhile, a majority will even sleep through the procedure. Heres what one patient says. After the treatment, I really miss coming back and being treated, because I felt like I was at a spa, said Lisa Morrison, who had suffered four herniated discs. The treatment was very comfortable and very relaxing. At the end of some of the treatments, I felt like I had been through a good workout. Like I had gone to the gym and worked out. Enjoying an Active Life Even after patients have been through spine surgery, Spinal Decompression Therapy may still offer relief. To her friends, just seeing Angie Horton waterskiing again is nothing short of a medical miracle. That is because just a few years ago she was recuperating from her third spine surgery and living in constant pain. I really felt that I had two options, she said. It was either a wheelchair or death. I literally felt I was going to end up being a crippled person. I was headed in that direction. Im very glad I did not go under a fourth spinal surgery. While recovering from her third surgery, Horton read an article that introduced her to the science of Spinal Decompression Therapy. I have always said that I dont use the word miracle, she said. I think someone above gets that word. But I would honestly say that this is as close to that word as youll ever get. Within hours of her first treatment, Horton noted that she started to feel relief. And by the end of her sixth week of Spinal Decompression Therapy, she was completely free of pain. Now that she is able to play with her grandchildren and live an active lifestyle, she wonders why her surgeon and other medical experts didnt tell her about this therapy sooner. I actually got to a point where I became angry, she said. And I went through a couple weeks of anger simply because I felt that other people in the medical field should have been obligated to give me this information. Im not against surgery. Im not against all the other things like epidurals, but I feel that they should not be on the forefront. They should be on the backburner. These spinal decompression machines should be the first thing. Once you have a proper diagnosis with an MRI, and if you are a candidate, this should be the very first thing to do. Paul Pratt the firefighter shares much the same feeling. In my mind, Spinal Decompression is what you need to look at first, he says. Ive heard too many stories of surgeries that didnt work, and those people wish they had never had it done. Because, in some cases, they are worse off than they were before. Spinal decompression has got to be your first option. I was not able to work at all for two months, he said. There was nothing I could do. I would go back to work on a light duty position But even on light duty, sitting in a chair doing menial work, after about two days it would cripple me up again to where I couldnt even do that. Along with the physical pain, there was emotional stress. He could no longer enjoy time with his grandchildren and felt all the hopes and dreams for his retirement years were in jeopardy. By the end of his therapy, however, Pratt says he was completely pain free. And a year after his therapy, he is still completely pain free, again doing what he loves. Now hes the captain of his fire department and is enthusiastically planning for retirement. It brought my life back, he added, all the things I was doing before. Playing with the grandchildren, playing with my children. I got to do things with them. Lifting them, rolling around with them, playing with them. All those things came back without limitations.

Patients get to lie back and relax while spinal pressures reach negative levels. Now the natural repair mechanism in the body has a chance to really do its work.

Understanding Back and Leg Pain Pain in the back and lower legs can result when spinal bones rub, irritate, pinch, or choke delicate nerves. This can also impair the function of the tissues, organs, and systems controlled by these nerves. The lower back comprises parts of three basic types. Bones, called vertebrae, are an essential part of the skeletal framework. Discs are the cartilage that cushions or pads and separates the space between the vertebrae. And the spine carries nerves that control muscles, organs, and other essential body functions. Among these, the sciatic nerves are the largest and longest in the body. They exit the spinal cord from the lower spinal column, travel down each leg, and divide into

How Spinal Decompression Therapy Works As its name implies, Spinal Decompression Therapy creates a negative pressure on discs in specific areas, so the cartilage or jelly can realign and return to its proper place. In other words, this vacuum effect draws the herniated material back into the disc, along with water and other nutrients and thus aids healing within the disc. While many people think that any pulling of the spine is traction, there is a substantial difference between old fashioned traction and Spinal Decompression Therapy. The big difference is that with traction, as we have known it for years, it is just a general load pulling the entire spine, said Dr. Luis Crespo, M.D., President National Spine Centers and a member of the National Academy of Pain Management. Traditional, old-style traction does not differentiate between the different levels of the discs. Now, by using motorized spinal decompression, we are able to change the angle of the pull and target specifically any disc that is affected. By doing this, we get much better results than you get with just standard traction. The advanced technology of Spinal Decompression systems allow healthcare professionals to adjust the amount of traction according to the reaction of the patients body. When old fashioned traction is used, the patients body may sense tension as it is being pulled and react by going into spasm. In contrast, the latest Spinal Decompression systems counter this spasm reaction by cycling through a series of pulling and relaxing as the treatment is being administered. This

Four-hour standoff
NATO helicopters end Kabul hotel siege,six dead
By Amir Shah and Solomon Moore
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS FILE PHOTO

The Intercontinental Hotel is seen in Kabul,Afghanistan.

KABUL, Afghanistan NATO helicopters red rockets at gunmen on the rooftop of a besieged Kabul hotel early Wednesday, ending a more than four-hour standoff between militants and police that left at least six dead, Afghan ofcials said. Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said six suicide bombers attacked the Inter-Continental hotel frequented by Afghan ofcials and foreign visitors. He said two were killed by hotel guards at the beginning of the attack and four others either blew themselves up or were killed in the airstrike or by Afghan security forces. He said initial reports indicated that the insurgents killed ve or six people, including civilians and at least one member of the Afghan security forces. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the rare, nighttime attack in the capital. The attackers were heavily armed with machine guns, anti-aircraft weapons, rocket-propelled grenades, hand grenades and grenade launchers, the Afghan ofcials said. After they entered the hotel and at least one of the bombers blew himself up, Afghan police rushed to the scene and reghts broke out. They battled for hours with three gunmen who took up positions on the roof. Some Afghan provincial governors

were staying at the hotel among the 60 to 70 guests, Afghan ofcials said. Abdul Zahir Faizada, who is head of the local council in Herat province in western Afghanistan, was staying at the hotel and planned to attend a conference elsewhere in Kabul on Wednesday to discuss plans for Afghan security forces to take the lead for securing an increasing number of areas of the country between now and 2014 when international forces are expected to move out of combat roles. Afghans across the country were in the city to attend. We were locked in a room. Everybody was shooting and ring, said Faizada who was staying at the hotel with the mayor of Herat city and other ofcials from the province. I heard a lot of shooting. Nazar Ali Wahedi, chief of intelligence for Helmand province in the south, called the attackers the enemy of stability and peace in Afghanistan. He too was in town to attend Wednesdays transition conference, which was being held at a government building in the capital. Our room was hit by several bullets, Wahedi said. We spent the whole night in our room. Jason Waggoner, a spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition ghting in Afghanistan, said the helicopters red early Wednesday morning on the roof where militants had taken up positions. He said they killed three gunmen and that Afghan security

forces clearing the hotel worked their way up to the roof and engaged the remaining insurgents. The helicopters attacked after four massive explosions rocked the hotel. After the gunmen were killed, the hotel lights that had been blacked out during the attack came back on. Afghan security vehicles and ambulances were removing the dead and wounded from the area. Associated Press reporters on the scene saw at least ve bodies removed from the hotel, but could not say whether they were the attackers or their victims. They saw two sides ghting with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades as tracer rounds went up over the darkened hotel. There was shooting from the roof of the vestory building. Police ordered bystanders to lie on the ground for safety. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the attack in a telephone call to the AP. Mujahid later issued a statement claiming that Taliban attackers killed guards at a gate and entered the hotel. One of our ghters called on a mobile phone and said: We have gotten onto all the hotel oors and the attack is going according to the plan. We have killed and wounded 50 foreign and local enemies. We are in the corridors of the hotel now taking guests out of their rooms mostly foreigners. We broke down the doors and took them out one by one.

In win for Obama, panel OKs U.S. operation in Libya
WASHINGTON In a victory for President Barack Obama, a Senate panel voted Tuesday to approve U.S. participation in the military campaign against Libya and Moammar Gadhas forces. The 14-5 vote in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee stood in sharp contrast to the Houses overwhelmingly rejection of a similar step last week, muddling the message about congressional support for the commander in chiefs actions and the NATO-led operation. When Moammar Gadha is bunkered down in Tripoli, when yesterday the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him on charges of crimes against humanity, at a moment where our armed forces are supporting a NATO mission aimed at preventing more such atrocities, do we want to stop the operation? the committees chairman, Sen.

The War Powers Resolution


Akron (Ohio) Beacon Journal

f the circumstances were different a Republican in the White House House Speaker John Boehner almost surely would be arguing that the president has no need to gain the authorization of Congress to continue military actions in Libya. So it has gone since passage of the War Powers Resolution in 1973. Democrats and Republicans have made the expedient case. Now President Barack Obama has followed the familiar path.

Other voices
The president responded to a letter from Boehner asking for a legal explanation of why the White House has failed to seek congressional approval. The War Powers Resolution allows the president to engage the armed forces for 60 days to 90 days before gaining authorization. The 60 days passed on May 20. The president issued his own letter accompanied by a 32-page report, essentially arguing that American forces no longer are involved in hostilities at the level necessary

to invoke the deadline in the law. ... No question, the Obama White House made the right choice by intervening with other countries in Libya. Moammar Gadha, the Libyan dictator, promised nothing short of a massacre in the rebel city of Benghazi. As the mission deepened, the president made the wrong choice in failing to seek congressional authorization. The way our government is structured, going to war should be a shared decision, Congress and the White House joining in a powerful expression of consensus, the choice involving more than a single executive.

Impact of violent video game bill


m not sure how I feel about the U.S. Supreme Courts decision to protect violent video games as free speech. On one hand, I usually side with the First Amendment and free speech even if the content of the disputed material is questionable or not to my taste. On the other hand, there is no question violent video games have an impact on young minds. How much, its hard to say. But I suspect much of it has to do with the amount of time spent with the content and the fact that young impressionable minds are immersed in ctional portrayals of obscene amounts of violence. It also has to do with parental control and involvement in young peoples lives. Either way, the fact that there is a national discussion on the issue should be considered a victory for Leland Yee, the man who initially began it with his 2005 California legislation. The discussion began when Yee, then a member of the state Assembly, authored a bill that would require retailers not to sell certain ultraviolent video games to minors and force a $1,000 ne if they did not comply. The bill was signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, but it was legally blocked from going into effect in 2009. It made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which, not surprisingly, rejected it. The court opinion cited other works of art as being in the same realm and that video games, though new, fall under the same protection. Throughout the years, there has been various movements to protect children from harm. At one time is was comic books, then there was the Parents Music Resource Center, which aimed to place warning labels on music to protect young minds from artists such as Twisted Sister and 2 Live Crew. The effort met limited success but brought forth a new awareness of the content of the albums children were listening to. At the time, my mother went through my album collection with me and together we listened to music by bands such as Sonic Youth, Suicidal Tendencies, the Dead Kennedys and the Descendents. I explained how I felt about certain lyrics and songs and she explained the difference between ction and reality. She treated my musical taste with respect and opened a dialogue about it. We compared musical styles and talked about the fact that a punk band like the Descendents could actually write a pretty good love song and that its OK to question authority. A Dead Kennedys song even sparked a discussion on the positives and negatives of nuclear power. Granted, I have a good mother who was willing to take the time to listen to music Im sure she didnt like to get to know more about her son. But that type of effort is needed when it comes to outside inuences on young people. Ive never been one to play video games and I dont necessarily see the appeal of burning hours of time with such products. But obviously, there is a market for them. As with any medium that deals with fantasy, whether it be video games, television, books or movies, there can a desensitization to reality. You really cannot pour vodka martinis down your throat and still have the wherewithal to ght bad guys like James Bond and if you try to replicate the characters in The Fast and the Furious you will likely crash your car and die. Most adults have the maturity to understand that. Some kids do not. Would more restrictions on violent video games stop manufacturers from producing them? Probably not. Was the U.S. Supreme Court right to protect them? Probably. But that doesnt mean that the discussion may yield more productive exploration of their impact on the minds of our young people and our culture as a whole. So Yee, though defeated, should be commended for bringing this topic up, perhaps enabling new discussions between parents and children and fostering a deeper bond and understanding between them.

Letters to the editor


Important issues when it comes to child safety
Editor, As a pediatrician and resident of Redwood City, I read with interest the guest perspective Dont confuse rhetoric with reality in the June 25 edition of the Daily Journal, and share the concerns expressed by Foster City Mayor Linda Koelling regarding the safety of children en route to school each morning in the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District. Two key issues are addressed: the lack of a long-term funding plan that will guarantee the presence of crossing guards and the reckless driving habits displayed by speeding, cellphone talking and texting commuters within the school zone. This situation is unacceptable. Many of the patients I see in the clinic each day must walk to school, as their families do not have private transportation and they do not live far enough away to take the school bus. Plus, with the growing obesity epidemic, we encourage these children to walk to school, as this physical activity represents their sole source of regimented daily exercise. I applaud Mayor Koelling on her persistent attempts to procure funding for crossing guards and her openness to thinking outside the box to search for alternative means to accomplish this goal. Furthermore, the inconsiderate driving behavior of so-called adults who ignore school zone signs and threaten our childrens safety is intolerable.

The reaction from DSKs wife, multimillionaire heiress Anne Sinclair concerning his previous sexual foibles is astonishing she said, I am quite proud! For a political man, it is important to seduce. She was not proclaiming any exclusivity here. Has this lady ever contemplated AIDS? Apparently biological afictions fail to apply to such elites, as does the rule of law. DSK, a man of considerable fortune and a well developed sense of hedonistic entitlement, with a wife exceeding him in afuence, is well accustomed to lavish environs and closets of $20,000 suits while pleasuring in $3,000 a night hotels. I may be prescient in conveying this, but should his celebrity lawyer even hint of failure, this man will never suffer the connes of Rikers Island again. DSK, outtted with an ankle bracelet, armed guard and a $5 million bond, presently resides in a rented multi-million dollar townhouse. A gentleman of DSKs guile will surely acquire a means to deceive one guard and attain the expertise to subjugate an ankle bracelet.

As previously stated in my letter, I see mobile food trucks parked on the city streets of San Mateo, San Bruno, South San Francisco and Millbrae every day and for hours on end with no enforcement from the cities, parking enforcement or the county health department. Health department regulations state that the vendors must have written permission and access to a fully operational rest room and washing facilities within 100 feet of their trucks.

Editor, GOPers: Forget about taking Obama down at any cost and instead focus on taking our country up. We need government-sponsored activities, like large projects to improve an infrastructure that is in bad shape. It is a well-known fact that to get out of a recession, heavy stimulus is needed to create jobs, expand the tax base and get worthwhile activities funded. Building or improving roads, bridges, airports, schools and hospitals is vital for the overall social health of a country. Thats a truism and not even the Economy 101-challenged can dispute it. It has nothing to do with Socialism, but everything to do with our survival as a viable nation with a thriving economy. Why not be patriotic and replace blind hate for our duly elected president with a genuine love for our country?

Wall Street
sumer companies have lost 5.8 percent and 3.6 percent, respectively, since peaking on April 29. The Dow gained 145.13 points, or 1.2 percent, to 12,188.69. The Standard & Poors 500 index rose 16.57, or 1.3 percent, to 1,296.67. The Nasdaq composite index added 41.03, or 1.5 percent, to 2,729.31. All three indexes are down more than 3 percent for the month. Signs that the housing market is improving helped lift Home Depot Inc. Its sales benefit when consumers spend money on home improvement. Home Depot gained 2.4 percent following a report that home prices rose in April in 13 of the 20 cities tracked by the Standard & Poors/Case-Shiller index. The index rose for the first time in eight months thanks to an annual push to buy homes in the spring. Housing usually leads the economy out of recessions. But that hasnt been the case with the current recovery, which began in June 2009. The long slump in the housing market has been a drag on the U.S. economic recovery. A decline in U.S. consumer confidence to a seven-month low, largely because of worries about jobs, did not slow down the gains in stocks.

Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Tuesday on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market: NYSE Nike Inc.,up $8.28 at $89.90 The sneaker and athletic gear maker said sales accelerated in its most recent quarter,and prot topped analyst expectations.

Westport Innovations Inc.,up $2.49 at $24 The maker of alternative fuels engines signed a deal with General Motors Co. to develop natural gas engine technologies.

NEW YORK Maybe the global economy isnt in such bad shape after all. After weeks of worries about the economy pulled stocks down, indexes have risen sharply for two days in a row. The Dow Jones industrial average rose more than 140 points Tuesday, thanks in part to signs that concerns of a global slowdown may be overblown. Quarterly results from Nike Inc. bested analysts expectations and sent its stock up 10 percent. That helped lead to a rally in stocks of clothing stores, restaurants and jewelers. Such companies tend to do well when consumers are less worried about things like high gas prices and are willing to spend on themselves. Other industries that do well during periods of economic expansion led the stock market higher. Caterpillar Inc., one of the 30 stocks that make up the Dow, gained the most, rising 3 percent. Industrials gained 1.5 percent overall. Consumer discretionary companies gained 1.9 percent. Both sectors are still well below their highs for the year. Industrials and con-

WASHINGTON Home prices in most major U.S. cities are rising for the rst time in eight months, boosted by an annual wave of spring buying. Analysts cautioned that the increases may be temporary and dont signal a rebound for the depressed home market. Prices rose in 13 of the 20 cities tracked by the Standard & Poors/CaseShiller home-price index, according to the April report released Tuesday. The sharpest increases were in Washington, D.C. The next-largest were in San Francisco, Atlanta and Seattle. The index covers metro areas that together make up about 50 percent of U.S. households. It measures sale prices of select homes in those cities compared with prices in January 2000. It then provides a three-month average. The April data is the latest available. Last year, a tax credit for rst-time buyers helped boost prices. They rose nearly 4 percent from April through July before falling more than 7 percent this winter to record lows. Prices in big metro areas sank in March to their lowest level since 2002. The 0.7 percent increase in April was

the rst rise since July. The positive data came with a caveat: The gures werent adjusted for seasonal factors, such as the buying that normally picks up in spring. Once the numbers are adjusted, prices actually fell in April.

David M. Blitzer, chairman of S&Ps index committee, said the rise in the index was a welcome shift from recent months. But he noted that much of the improvement was likely due to the start of the buying season.

NEW YORK Online search leader Google Inc. is taking yet another stab at social networking, as it tries to go up against Facebook in this wildly popular and lucrative segment of the Internet. This time the project is called Google+ and it aims to make online sharing more like real life. We think people communicate in very rich ways, said Vic Gundotra, senior vice president of engineering at Google. The online tools we have to choose from give us very rigid services. Other social networking tools make selective sharing within small groups

difficult. They dont allow for the nuances that people are used to in ofine communication and because they call so many acquaintances friends, said Gundotra in a blog post announcing the service. Many Facebook users, for instance, find it difficult to limit their status updates to small groups of people so that their coworkers arent exposed to party photos or their parents arent privy to irtatious posts on their wall. Though Facebook has tried to address this with a much-hyped Groups feature, its not clear how many people use it. Gundotras criticism seems aimed squarely at Facebook, the worlds largest online social network.

Mayweather focuses on WBC champ Ortiz


By Dave Skretta
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK It seems Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao will be forever linked, regardless of whether they ever face each other in the ring. The two have danced around the richest ght in boxing for several years, unable to come to terms. Meanwhile, their animosity has grown to the point that Pacquiao has a pending defamation lawsuit alleging Mayweather unfairly accused him of using performance-enhancing drugs. So its not surprising that Mayweather spent just as much time answering questions about Pacquiao on Tuesday as he did about Victor Ortiz, the welterweight champion

whom hell face in his next ght on Sept. 17 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Ive never said that Manny Pacquiao was taking steroids, I never said he was taking enhancement drugs, said Mayweather, who failed to turn up for a court-ordered deposition in Las Vegas earlier this month involving the defamation suit. I want to ght the best they got out there, not just him, the best they got out there, Mayweather said, and if hes on the list as one of the best guys, then absolutely. Mayweather said hes willing to ght Pacquiao if there is random blood and urine testing, which is more stringent than the protocol used by most state athletic associations. Mayweather said Pacquiaos team would only agree to blood and

urine testing at certain times. Its not just Pacquiao, its sports, period, Mayweather said. If you look at sports in the Olympics, theyre cheating. Everyone is cheating. And I never once said Manny Pacquiao was cheating, only thing I said was this: Me and any other opponent I face must take the test. Mayweather will be returning to the ring for the first time since defeating Shane Mosley in May 2010, though the undefeated former champion has made plenty of news since then. Last Friday, 21-year-old Anthony Cliff filed a lawsuit accusing Mayweather of ordering his bodyguards to attack the man outside the Palms Casino Resort on March 27, 2010.

DRESDEN, Germany Once, twice, three times and then a fourth, Lauren Cheney launched a shot with her foot only to watch it go right into the hands of the North Korean goalkeeper. Finally, she used her head. And just like that, the Americans looked more like a team that could contend for a third Womens World Cup title than the one that took a self-described bumpy road to Germany. I wasnt frustrated, said Cheney, whose goal in the 54th minute sparked a 2-0 win over North Korea on Tuesday. I knew if I kept going, Id get one. Im pretty happy I did. So did her teammates. After hearing about their inconsistency and shortcomings for months, the win in their tournament opener gave the Americans a needed dose of condence. When the nal whistle sounded, the U.S. reserves ran onto the eld to celebrate while the North Koreans stood just beyond mideld, watching. It was the fourth straight time the teams had met in group play at the World Cup, and the Americans have won all the games but one. The Americans now face Colombia, which lost 1-0 to Sweden, on Saturday in Sinsheim. North Korean coach Kim Kwang Min blamed his teams failings in the second half on a June 8 lightning strike during training in Pyongyang that sent more than ve players to the hospital. Goalkeeper Hong Myong Hui, four defenders and some of the midelders were the players most affected, Kim said. The physicians actually said the players were not capable of playing in the tournament, Kim said through an interpreter. Theyre not physically ready for this match, but they had a strong will. The North Koreans didnt seem as if anything was amiss, nearly matching the

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. Tiger Woods is no longer using crutches, a walking boot or a razor. He hasnt hit a full golf shot in 47 days and has no idea when he will practice, much less play in another tournament. All he could say with certainty Tuesday was that he would not return until he was fully healthy. Usually I set a timetable when I want to come back and play when Ive had injuries before, Woods said at the AT&T National, which benefits his foundation. This one is different. Im going to learn my lesson from what I did at The Players and apply it this time and come back when Im 100 percent. I dont Tiger Woods know when thats going to be. Thats kind of the frustrating thing about it right now is I dont know. While he did not rule out the British Open, which starts July 14 at Royal St. Georges, he made it sound as though he would miss another major championship. I wouldnt go over there just to show up, he said. Id go over there to win the golf tournament, so I need to obviously get my body ready so I can practice, and eventually play. Hes not doing much of anything at the moment. Woods watched the U.S. Open and was amazed at how Rory McIlroy matched his record by building a six-shot lead after 36 holes, then continued to crush his competition in winning by eight shots. With shared parenting of his two kids, he has watched more cartoons than he ever did as

The 36th overall selection was among about two dozen players at the workout led by quarterback Alex Smith, a free agent expected to re-

Foot wont keep Nadal from playing quarters


By Howard Fendrich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WIMBLEDON, England Give Uncle Toni credit for honesty. Toni Nadal, Rafaels uncle and coach, watched Wimbledons defending champion put in about an hour of practice on a left foot thats not as seriously injured as rst feared, then offered this assessment to a handful of reporters Tuesday: Even if he was 50 percent, I would tell you hes 100 percent. But he will be 100 percent. Everythings ne. The top-seeded Nadal plays 10th-seeded Mardy Fish of the United States in Wednesdays quarternals at the All England Club. The other quarternals are No. 2 Novak Djokovic against 18-year-old Bernard Tomic of Australia, No. 3 Roger Federer against No. 12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France, and No. 4 Andy Murray against unseeded Feliciano Lopez of Spain. If the favorites all win, it would be the rst time that the top four seeded men all reached the semifinals at Wimbledon since 1995, when Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, Boris Becker and Goran Ivanisevic did it. Nadal, Djokovic, Federer and Murray lled out the nal four at the French Open earlier this month; there never have been consecutive Grand Slam tournaments with Nos. 1-4 in the seminals during the Open era, which began in 1968. I dont remember four guys dominating as much as these guys have. The separation from them to (Nos.) 5-20 is such a gap, Sampras said via telephone from California on

Tuesday. These four guys are just better movers than everyone else; theyre better athletes. Past results suggest the quarterfinals shouldnt present too many problems for the sports leading men. Consider, first of all, the head-to-head records: Nadal is 5-0 vs. Fish; Federer is 4-1 vs. Tsonga; Murray is 4-0 vs. Lopez; Djokovic and Tomic never have played. Now take a look at their respective accomplishments. Nadals 10 Grand Slam titles include two at Wimbledon, where he is 30-2 since the start of the 2006 tournament, with two runner-up nishes. Federer owns six Wimbledon championships one short of the record shared by Sampras and Willie Renshaw, who won his in the 1880s and a record total of 16 Grand Slam titles. Djokovic twice has won the Australian Open and is a two-time Wimbledon seminalist. Murray has reached three major nals and been to two Wimbledon seminals. The other four quarternalists have a grand total of one Grand Slam runner-up nish: Tsongas at the 2008 Australian Open. Fish (0-2 in major quarternals), Lopez (also 0-2) and Tomic (making his major quarternal debut) havent been to a Grand Slam seminal yet. This is obviously a huge tournament for me. Suits my game probably better than any other tournament for me, Grand Slam-wise, said Fish, who eliminated 2010 Wimbledon runner-up Tomas Berdych in the fourth round and has lost serve only once all tournament. I felt, like, maybe its one of those ones that I

really wanted to do well at. In the quarternals, feels great again. Ill have another tough one, for sure. Nothing comes easily against Nadal, even if he isnt completely t. During his fourth-round victory over 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro on Monday, Nadal felt signicant pain in his left foot in the rst set and initially worried it might be broken; he had to miss the French Open and Wimbledon in 2004 when he fractured that foot. Nadal went on to beat del Potro, then headed to a London hospital later that night for an MRI. The results showed swelling around a tendon, but nothing major, according to Ignacio Munoz, a doctor with the Spanish Tennis Federation. For tomorrow, Toni Nadal said, there will be no problem. Sampras expected all along that Federer would eventually match him with a seventh Wimbledon title. On Tuesday, Sampras said he gures Nadal will reach his career total of 14 Grand Slam championships and possibly could surpass Federers 16, too. If you break down his game and what hes been able to do on all surfaces, hes only (25), and hes got 10 majors; you do the math, said Sampras, wholl be joined by Agassi and other past greats of the game in the Champions Series in September and October. The all-time record is a lot of work, and Roger obviously can continue to add to his list, Sampras said. But if Rafa is smart with his schedule and plans it out right, he can very well do it. We all know how hard he works.

Zito wins,Giants sweep doubleheader


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Barry Zito threw seven strong innings and the San Francisco Giants beat the Chicago Cubs 6-3 on Tuesday night for a sweep of a day-night doubleheader. Zito (1-1) pitched for the rst time since leaving his start on April 16 with a right foot sprain. He allowed four hits and two runs, leading the Giants to their seventh straight win. Brian Wilson got his 24th save. Nate Schierholtz had three hits and two RBIs to pace the San Francisco offense, and Brandon Crawford added two hits and two RBIs. Rodrigo Lopez (0-2) pressed into starting duty after throwing out of the bullpen for most of the season allowed eight hits and four runs in 4 2-3 innings for the Cubs. Pat Burrell and Aaron Rowand each drove in three runs as the Giants won the opener 137. In the second game, Lou Montanez hit a two-run homer for the Cubs, who were held to ve hits. Aramis Ramirez also homered for Chicago. Zito was sharp early, striking out Reed Johnson to start the game and retiring rst six Cubs. Alfonso Soriano led off the third inning

Giants 13, Cubs 7 Giants 6, Cubs 3


with a single. Montanez followed with his first Cubs homer 11 years and 22 days after he was drafted by the team in the first round of the 2000 draft. Montanez had four big league homers during his Barry Zito time with the Orioles in 2008 and 2009, but he played 1,076 games in the minors after being selected by the Cubs. His blast to left put the Cubs up 2-1. Zito shut down the Cubs after Montanezs homer for his longest outing since August 6, 2010. The Giants scored in the second when Cody Ross led off with a double and scored on Schierholtzs single. Lopez struggled in the Giants ve-run fth. The rst run had a controversial call. With Andres Torres on third, Pablo Sandoval hit a broken-bat y into center. Johnson charged in to make the catch and with his momentum going toward the plate, he made a perfect throw to catcher Geovany Soto, who tagged the sliding Torres.

Home plate umpire Tim McClelland initially called Torres out, but when the ball trickled out, the call was changed. Cubs manager Mike Quade charged onto the eld, arguing that Soto held the ball long enough for the out. The umpires consulted at the Pat Burrell mound, but the call wasnt changed and the game was tied at 2. Lopez allowed back-to-back singles to Aubrey Huff and Ross, and was removed after throwing 96 pitches. Reliever John Grabows first pitch to Schierholtz was lined for a single, scoring Huff. Crawford doubled, scoring Ross and Schierholtz. Eli Whiteside singled in Crawford. The first four batters to face Grabow reached. In the rst game, the Giants offense had season-best totals in runs (13) and hits (18) in a 13-7 win. Burrell and Rowand led the attack with three RBIs apiece. Burrell had three hits and slammed his seventh homer, Miguel Tejada also had three hits and Rowand had a threerun double. Ryan Vogelsong (6-1) got the win despite allowing a season-high six runs three earned and matched his high for the season

with four walks in five innings. Cubs starter Doug Davis (1-7) lasted just 4 1-3 innings, during which he gave up 12 hits and 10 runs. Carlos Pena hit a tworun homer, walked and Aaron Rowand scored two runs for the Cubs. Blake DeWitt had two singles and three RBIs, and Koyie Hill added a solo homer for Chicago. Notes: Cubs manager Mike Quade got a nice pregame surprise when it was announced that Giants manager Bruce Bochy had added him to the NL staff for the All-Star game, to be played July 12 in Phoenix. Quade replaced former Washington manager Jim Riggleman, who resigned last week. ... The Cubs demoted rookie utility player DJ Lemahieu between games, sending him to Triple-A Iowa. They recalled reliever Marcos Mateo from Iowa to bolster a tired bullpen that worked 4 2/3 innings in Tuesdays opener. ... Tuesdays doubleheader was the Cubs second of the season. They split a doubleheader at Wrigley against the Padres on April 20. Tuesdays games marked Chicagos ninth split doubleheader in franchise history, all of them since 1968. ... Chicagos loss in the rst game ended a streak of winning six straight series openers.

Battle over Dodgers moves on in bankruptcy court


By Randall Chase
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WILMINGTON, Del. The owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers won a reprieve in bankruptcy court Tuesday to maintain day-to-day operations, while Major League Baseball considered seizing control of the cash-strapped ballclub. Dodgers owner Frank McCourt is squaring off in bankruptcy court against the league in a contentious battle over one of the most storied and lucrative franchises in baseball. The ownership ght is linked in part to McCourts divorce from his wife and former team CEO Jamie McCourt, who is also claiming half his assets. The Dodgers have blamed their bankruptcy ling on Commissioner Bud Seligs refusal to approve a multibillion-dollar TV deal with Fox that McCourt was counting on to keep the franchise aoat. McCourt gained approval from Judge Kevin Gross to enter into a $150 million bankruptcy nancing arrangement to keep the team running. A person familiar with the leagues plans

told the Associated Press that MLB probably will le a motion to seize the Dodgers, which has been operating under the oversight of a monitor appointed by Selig in April. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of Frank McCourt the sensitive nature of the situation. Baseballs constitution allows Selig to take control of a team that seeks Chapter 11 protection, but the league rst must le a motion seeking termination of the franchise. Its unclear when that motion would be led, but the judge asked attorneys representing Selig for a copy of the leagues constitution, noting that it has an impact here. Gross granted the Dodgers request for debtor-in-possession nancing after attorneys for both sides huddled behind closed doors for more than an hour, emerging with an agreement to make two modications to the proposed agreement with hedge fund Highbridge Capital. One of the modications reduces the exit Kaepernick called his fellow 49ers rookies once he decided not to attend the rookie symposium this week in Bradenton, Fla. The only rookies at the previous minicamp who didnt attend were running back Kendall Hunter and guard Daniel Kilgore. Kaepernick said he came to the decision to skip the conference after seeking advice from his agent, Scott Smith, and other rookies and teammates. We thought it would be best if I was here for this camp, especially being able to fully participate now, just being with my teammates, he

fee that would be due to Highbridge from $4.5 million to $250,000. The other removes certain milestones in the nancing agreement regarding the sale of the teams broadcast rights. Those milestones included weekly updates on the teams Bud Selig effort to license its broadcast rights, and a July 29 deadline to agree on a process calling for bankruptcy court approval of a sale within six months of Mondays bankruptcy ling, and a closing within 45 days of the court order. Earlier Tuesday, the league led an objection to the financing proposal, accusing McCourt of siphoning off more than $100 million in club revenue and driving the Dodgers into a liquidity crisis, also citing his lavish lifestyle with his ex-wife. The league argued that its own nancing offer was superior because it eliminated the $4.5 million exit fee, reduced the interest rate by 3 percent, did not require the team to encumber assets, and did not impose an artisaid. Also, we had heard that a lot of the rookies werent going. We thought this would be a great reason to miss that. Not to say that that wouldnt be very helpful, but we thought that this would be more important at this time. The 49ers workouts this week are still heavily focused on offense. The group on hand included most of the key offensive players and almost all the receivers, including wideout Michael Crabtree. He was part of the classroom session but mostly watched on the eld at San Jose States Spartan Stadium while he recovers from sore feet, team-

cial timeline for disposing of the broadcast rights. The MLB attorneys argued that McCourts nancing proposal should be rejected because it compels the team to sell the future broadcast rights to meet current expenses and to provide money for his personal use. In court papers, the Dodgers argued that the leagues objection to the teams nancing proposal revealed Seligs overarching desire to exert a stranglehold on the team. Attorneys for the Dodgers said the leagues proposal would have given Selig sole discretion over the teams budget, required the team to pay all the leagues legal fees and expenses not just as a lender, but as an adversary in the bankruptcy case, and allowed for a loan default for any violation of MLB rules and regulations. The commissioners nancing proposal is nothing other than a thinly veiled effort to take total control over the debtors and these cases, team attorneys wrote, adding that it is no secret that Selig wants a change of ownership. The commissioners efforts seem to be

mates said. He did not speak to reporters. The primary difference in this workout was the addition of lm from new coach Jim Harbaughs West Coast offense. That included Harbaughs offense at Stanford and NFL clips from Steve Youngs 49ers and Rich Gannons Raiders. Smith has primarily led the classroom sessions with receivers while Staley is breaking off into groups with the offensive lineman. I think everything is going good so far, receiver Josh Morgan said. Camp Alex is a success.

He won when he was 46, right? said the 35year-old Woods. Ive still got some time. I feel pretty condent of what my future holds and very excited about it. Im excited about coming out here and being ready to go, instead of trying to kind of patch it, which Ive been doing for awhile. Woods said he has been able to putt, and thats about it for his golf. He said he spends every day in the gym trying to get stronger, not just work on the left knee and Achilles, but his entire body. He said there are as many as three sessions a day, although they rarely last more than an hour. Were testing it every day to see what it feels like, he said. You try and push it as far as the leg will go, and then if it doesnt feel any good, then you bring it back. And each day its gotten better. We havent had any setbacks, which has been good. But still, its not as explosive or as strong as Id like to be. And that means no golf at least for now. Woods is leaving that to everyone else, and there have been some special performances. Luke Donald has risen to No. 1 in the world, McIlroy is up to No. 3 while Woods has tumbled to No. 17, his lowest spot in more than 14 years. Justin Rose, the defending champion at Aronimink, says Woods absence is still noticeable. The way he plays the game, he plays it with a lot of intensity, Rose said. I think people like to see him win. He seems to win in dramatic style more often than not. So thats I think what people like to see. He puts on a good show. Everything that goes around him at a golf tournament is a little more high atmosphere, high energy. Assuming he misses the British Open, the next tournament Woods typically plays is the Bridgestone Invitational, which starts Aug. 4 and precedes the nal major championship of the year. The FedEx Cup playoffs are after that, although only the top 125 qualify and Woods is at No. 114 and not moving up because hes not playing. Woods, however, said he would be surprised if the year ended without him playing again. This isnt a repeat of 2008, when he missed the last six months of the year after reconstructive knee surgery. He said his knee and Achilles are getting better. Id be very surprised because Im progressing, he said.

ping in a perfect cross that Cheney nodded past Hong. Im actually not a very good header, Cheney said. I just knew I wanted to redirect it back to the same place it came from. It was Cheneys 14th goal in her 40th appearance for the United States. When Lauren scored that goal, its obviously kind of like the monkey off your back, Wambach said. The Americans practically camped themselves on North Koreas side of the eld, with Wambach hitting the crossbar in the 65th and Amy Rodriguez putting a shot wide in the 73rd before Rachel Buehler scored the insurance goal in the 76th minute. A shot off the crossbar ricocheted back into the scrum and Carli Lloyd collected the ball and headed it to Buehler, who unleashed a monster strike with her right foot. Hong dove and stretched out her hand, but she never got close and the ball rolled into the net. It was the second goal of the defenders career. Hopefully, well be able to build condence off this win, Buehler said. The Americans have heard plenty of criticism about their uncharacteristic inconsistency these last few months. After going more than two years without a loss, the U.S. dropped three games in ve months. The Americans were stunned in the seminals of regional World Cup qualifying by Mexico, a team that had been 0-24-1 against its northern neighbor. The U.S. had to win a homeand-home playoff with Italy just to get to Germany. The United States lost to Sweden in the Four Nations opener, though it did go on to win the tournament, and was beaten by England for the rst time since 1988. But the Americans insisted they would be ne once the tournament started, and their victory over North Korea only reinforced that. It doesnt matter what happened in the past, Wambach said. Its all about whats happening in this tournament, and thats what were focused on. tistics, said Ortiz, whose parents abandoned him when he was young, forcing him and his ve siblings to live in foster care. Im tired of, You cant do this, you cant do that. Early in his career, Ortiz was anointed the next Mexican-American superstar by Oscar De La Hoya, whose company promotes him. But his meteoric rise met a wall when he fought Marcos Maidana two years ago. Ortiz was losing after six rounds and essentially quit in the ring, one boxings cardinal sins, and fans and the media were quick to write him off. Ortiz has been spectacular on the slow road to redemption, though, and in April climbed off the canvas twice to beat Berto as the heavy underdog and win the welterweight championship. I realize hes a great ghter, but since I was 9 years old, I always said Id ght Mayweather one day as champion of the world, and check it out, Ortiz said. Its crazy. Ortiz said he asked to ght Mayweather or Pacquiao after his most recent ght, even though he heard whispers from people including some in his own promotional company who said he was overmatched or out of his mind. But he wanted to ght the best in the world, and depending who you ask, he may have achieved that by landing a shot at Mayweather. As for Mayweathers plan to ght Pacquiao next? Theres only one problem, Ortiz said. Im ghting Pacquiao next.

a child. Whats actually really tough to watch now all the time is Dora.That song is just brutal, he said. And for the rst time in public, he was sporting a full beard, though nothing that compares with Lucas Glover. Woods has not played since May 12 when he withdrew after nine holes from The Players Championship. That was his rst tournament since minor injuries to his left knee and Achilles from an awkward stance in the pine straw in the third round at the Masters. He said it was borderline whether he should have played at the TPC Sawgrass, a decision he now regrets. Had he skipped The Players, Woods said he would be playing now. So what was he doing at Sawgrass? Ive played in pain before and Ive played injured, and Ive played through it, and Ive been very successful at it, Woods said. There has been a number of years where Ive been hurt more than people could possibly understand, and Ive played and Ive won. I just felt that it was good enough to give it a go, and I did. And I hurt myself. Woods has gone through four knee surgeries since his freshman year at Stanford. He tore knee ligaments while jogging in the summer of 2007, and nished the year winning ve of six tournaments, including a major. He won the U.S. Open in 2008 for his 14th major on one good leg. And after injuring his right Achilles in December 2008, he won seven times the next season. But there was something about this injury perhaps the state of his game or the clock ticking on his career that caused him to stop being so stubborn when it comes to his health. He said this injury wasnt even as bad as some of the others. But I hurt myself again, he said. Its time to actually have a different approach. Its time. Woods still believes he has time on his side, especially when it comes to his pursuit of Jack Nicklaus record 18 professional majors. He remains stuck on No. 14, and he cant get closer if hes not playing.

Americans in possession (53 percent to 47 percent) and getting seven shots on goal. And the lightning strike seemed to catch everyone offguard, with the FIFA media ofcer at the venue saying she had no knowledge of it until Kims postgame news conference. The young North Koreans only two had played in a World Cup before looked pretty good in the rst half. The Americans started the game strong, controlling play with crisp passing and good speed. But the North Koreans gained condence as time went on, shutting down the U.S. attack in the mideld and repeatedly pushing forward in the closing minutes before halftime. Kim Su Gyong took a shot from close range in the 34th minute, but U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo punched it away. Four minutes later, Song Jung Sun slid a shot right in front of the goal that Solo couldnt reach. No other Americans were there to clear it away neither were the North Koreans and Ali Krieger nally booted the ball to safety. The opening to any game, emotions are going to be ying, players are going to be ying, its going to be ugly sometimes, Solo said. It was a little sloppy at the beginning, but we weathered the storm. U.S. coach Pia Sundhage told her players at halftime to take the ball outside and make more use of the anks. The improvement was clear immediately. Cheney, making her rst start since March, had two shots caught by Hong in the rst ve minutes of the half. In the 51st minute, Abby Wambach took a sliding shot from the edge of the 6-yard box, only to watch the ball sail over the net. Finally, in the 54th, Wambach dribbled quickly up the left ank and took a step as if to move inside, spinning a North Korean defender around. Wambach dribbled a few more steps before chip-

Mayweather also faces felony charges stemming from a domestic argument and misdemeanor harassment and battery charges in separate cases.

Mayweathers adviser, Leonard Ellerbe, declined to discuss the litigation. We focus on the business part and the boxing part, Ellerbe said. We let the attorneys handle the legal stuff. Mayweather and Ellerbe joined several hundred fans inside the Hudson Theater in New York City to kick off a promotional tour for the ght against Ortiz, who is coming off a careerdening victory over Andre Berto that made him the WBC welterweight champion.

Every move in NFL lockout scrutinized


By Dave Campbell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS The day began with the NFL commissioner and the unions head starting another round of talks, this one set to run through Friday, aimed at ending a lockout that is now in its fourth month. By sundown Tuesday, Roger Goodell and DeMaurice Smith were on a plane to Florida where they planned to speak to rookies

We d n e s d a y before heading back to Minneapolis to continue negotiations. A signal that an end to the labor strife was Roger Goodell in sight? That was still to be determined, but with the traditional start of training camps just league ranks. Gross also granted the teams request to honor payments it is required to make under collective bargaining agreements. The seamless, uninterrupted operation of the team is vital, said Richard Seltzer, an attorney for the Major League Baseball Players Association. Thomas Lauria, an attorney representing Seligs office, disagreed with Dodgers attorney Bruce Bennett that the league and the team were adversaries, saying the league views the Dodgers as one of its cherished crown jewels and an essential component. Lauria did suggest, however, that the league was at loggerheads with McCourt, whom he blamed for todays sorry mess. In addition to battling the league for control of the team, the Dodgers face a challenge from Jamie McCourt over half of her former husbands ownership assets. Jamie McCourt is a presumptive owner of 50 percent of assets, said Laura Davis Jones, an attorney representing her in the bankruptcy case. Filings in the McCourts divorce case revealed a lifestyle of excess, extreme even by the standards of LAs super-rich: multiple lavish homes, private security, country club memberships, even a six-gure hair stylist for the couple. The Dodgers bankruptcy ling lists assets of up to $1 billion and debts up to $500 million. Among the 40 largest unsecured claims, totaling about $75 million, are former Dodgers slugger Manny Ramirez at nearly $21 million; Andruw Jones at $11 million; pitcher Hiroki Kuroda at $4.4 million; and the Chicago White Sox, which share a spring training facility with the Dodgers in Arizona, at $3.5 million.

three weeks away, every move has taken on a heightened sense of importance. Spokesmen for the league and the players association conDeMaurice rmed that the Smith two power brokers were on the same plane from

Minnesota to address the NFLPAs rookie symposium on Wednesday morning. SI.com rst reported that both Goodell and Smith were on their way to the joint appearance. Smith, the unions executive director, asked Goodell to speak to the group at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Sarasota, Fla., and the commissioner agreed. The discussions between Goodell and Smith on Tuesday included no players or owners, according to severFRI SAT SUN MON TUE

al people familiar with the situation. They said the two sides planned to meet through Friday. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the negotiations were being kept private. As for training camps, two teams have already opted to hold them at headquarters instead of offsite spots because of the labor uncertainty. Chicago and St. Louis are scheduled to play the annual Hall of Fame game on Aug. 7.

DODGERS

driven by a personal animosity towards Mr. McCourt that unbiased observers have recognized as being unprecedented, they added, citing media reports. The debtors have no obligation to accept nancing from such a determined adversary. While agreeing to the interim nancing, both sides reserved their rights to argue all issues surrounding the bankruptcy ling, including the possibility that the league might seek to have the case dismissed, and whether former Texas Rangers President Thomas Schieffer should remain as monitor of the Dodgers. Schieffer was appointed to monitor the team on Seligs behalf after the commissioner took the extraordinary step in April of assuming control of the troubled franchise, saying he was concerned about the teams nances and how the Dodgers are being run. I recognize that there is a lot ahead of us, Gross said before adjourning. In addition to issuing the interim nancing order, Gross granted several routine motions that will allow the team to continue operations, authorized the Dodgers to continue paying vendors, utility providers and employees, and to keep up with tax and insurance obligations. The granting of such motions is routine in first-day hearings in bankruptcy court, but Gross noted that the baseball clubs case is unique in some aspects. I havent seen a wage motion quite like this one, the judge said, referring to the teams 44-page motion to continue paying hundreds of full-time and part-time employees, including about 250 players, most of whom are in the minor

An apple pie fit for bringing on the road

If apple pie isnt your favorite,you can make a lling from fresh berries instead.

Hand pies with apple lling provide the allAmerican comfort of apple pie, minus the need for fork and plate. While not a new concept, hand pies turn apple pie into a convenient, easy and messfree treat for Fourth of July celebrations. The term hand pie has been around for a long time; farming cultures used to make them for workers to eat in the eld. And theyre different from tarts, which lack top crusts and are cooked in a shallow pan. If apple pie isnt your favorite, you can make a lling from fresh berries instead. You will need to increase the amount of cornstarch, depending on how juicy your berries are. You want the lling to be thick so it doesnt ooze out. To add visual appeal, small cookie cutters can be used to create the steam vents in the top rounds of dough. Be sure to do so before placing the dough over the lling.

Salads for your cookout

When in doubt, add whole grains. Or even better, start with them. When youre assembling your salads for this years July Fourth celebration, consider this trio of naturally healthy tabboulehs.

With all the backyard parties, barbecues and picnics in summer, pasta salads tend to go into heavy rotation. And with good reason. Pasta salads are quick and easy to make and can be prepped way in advance. They also are easily adapted to cater to whatever avors you favor. This version adds some bright colorful veggies to wagon wheel pasta, but feel free to substitute whichever vegetables and pasta you prefer. Weve also added the meat (shredded) from a rotisserie chicken; this saves time and keeps you from having to heat up the kitchen to roast your own. You also could leave out the chicken for a vegetarian version, or use cut-up ham or small shrimp in its place.

ple, a reghter working a hypothetical 24hour shift would only receive 16 hours toward the point of accruing overtime. No other local departments include the exemption, typically because unions negotiate them out, Moura said. Klein said the same could have happened with reghters and the city for the new San Carlos Fire Department but that the 3-2 council vote snatched away the bargaining chip. Were giving things to labor that labor hasnt even asked for yet, Klein said. Its like playing poker but the other side can see your hand. Councilman Bob Grassilli, who voted for the repeal, believes it will make the jobs more attractive to current Belmont-San Carlos Fire Department employees by maintaining a current benet. It would seem to be we were regressing a bit, Grassilli said. Klein disagrees, noting that 500 reghters applied for jobs in two hours even with a description that includes the exemption. The repeal was met with enthusiasm by the the edges of the round with the egg mixture. Place 2 teaspoons of apple filling in the center of the dough. Top with a second round of dough. Gently press down so that the filling is enclosed and the edges of the top round meet the edges of the bottom round. Use a fork to crimp and seal all around the edges. Brush the top with more of the egg mixture and sprinkle with the reserved cinnamon sugar. Use a paring knife to poke a hole in the top to vent steam. Repeat with the remaining dough rounds and filling. Place the hand pies on the baking sheets, leaving 1 inch between them. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

We see the change as a positive development that may get San Carlos FD a little more competitive. That kind of change speaks well of the manager and council efforts to do the right thing, said Ed Hawkins, president of Local 2400. The repeal certainly has a budget implication but keeping the surplus bigger is not reason to withhold the benet, Grassilli said. The citys costs for re still arent settled yet anyway because it must negotiate the permanent agreement with labor and factor in dissolution gures, he said. Grassilli also didnt support Kleins request that the council counter the sleep exemption addition by removing programs it added back to the budget in April. The add-backs include staff at the homework lab, restoring a youth jobs program, code enforcement, the Night of Holiday Lights all items axed before the city had the surplus. Its all in how you look at it. I felt we were still in good shape. Weve always balanced the

budget even in bad years but that was through lots of cuts, Grassilli said. This year we had things we could add back. City Manager Jeff Maltbie suggested there may be ways to nd other savings, such as reducing reghter salaries. Klein said he was incredibly frustrated and while he knew his dissension wouldnt change the outcome, he just couldnt vote for the budget and believes it may have been different if deceased mayor Omar Ahmad was still on the dais. Ahmad, who died in May, led the charge in outsourcing, particularly re service. Klein is proud the city has a surplus at all, even at a lower amount, but worries that future negotiations with reghters will eat away at it too. This just shows us what happens if you dont hold the line and I really dont want to go there, Klein said.

CONTRACT
Continued from page 1
San Carlos is creating a hybrid re department in which it provides the reghters and Redwood City contributes the management. The venture is estimated to save $1.1 million annually even after accounting for the price of disbanding its relationship with the city of Belmont. The arrangement also played a large role in the city having a $394,600 surplus in its $55.6 million budget. The debated sleep exemption, however, will cost the city between $200,000 and $300,000, bringing the excess to around $100,000, said Assistant City Manager Brian Moura. Fireghters with a sleep exemption are paid for the hours they sleep during a shift but that time cannot count toward overtime accrual. The San Carlos proposal would subtract eight hours from overtime for firefighters who receive at least ve hours of sleep. For exam-

A baked potato with fixings fit for July Fourth


obody is going to bother baking potatoes for Fourth of July celebrations. Which is too bad, because a baked potato topped with a plethora of barbecue-friendly toppings think grated cheeses, chili, barbecue pulled chicken or pork, maybe some avocado and crumbled tortillas is perfect for outdoor eating. Especially since most of those items can be prepped well in advance. Which got me thinking. While you might not crank up the oven to bake potatoes, chances are youll have the grill going. Why not do grilled baked potatoes? It ended up being a delicious approach to this have-it-your-way meal. The following recipe will walk your through the grilling process (its pretty effortless). As for assembling your toppings, there are many ways to go. You could select a theme (say,

Mexican) or go crazy and just offer tons of options. Either way, your work serves two purposes. Many of the toppings you set out for the potatoes can do double duty on hot dogs and burgers. Let people choose their base (burger, dog or potato), then build up from there. Its also a great way to include a vegetarian option without resorting to veggie burgers.

The choices of new operators for both service and the center, both of which began Jan. 1, were highly debated but ultimately decade-long operator Allied Waste was passed over for Recology San Mateo County and South Bay Recycling, respectively. This budget reects the culmination of the ve-plus year contractor selection process for [new collection] services and new Shoreway operations and nal completion of the Shoreway master planning process initiated in 2006, McCarthy said in a prepared statement. SBRs contract resulted in a 10.6 percent reduction in operating costs for Shoreway, according to RethinkWastes calculations. The agencys income increase is also chalked up to completion of the Shoreway construction in April which ended the need to use an off-site thirdparty recyclables processor. The agency also slashed 13.3 percent from the cost of its manpower and programs by slightly reducing staff and no longer needing to fund new startup service costs like public outreach campaigns for the single-stream service. The new service, in which customers neednt sort items, is considered a key component of the increase in recycling. The large jump is not just good for the environment and the longevity of the Chief Business Official Raul Parungao. Another option was closing three halfday classes, which serve twice as many families. The district opted for the plan that impacted fewer families. With that, 11 employees will be affected. Two teachers and four instructional aides will have their year shortened from 208 to 185 days; two teachers and two aides will be laid off; and one teacher will be offered an open position at another location, said Deputy Superintendent John Baker. Redwood City has child development center programs at multiple locations. Its not yet clear which sites will lose a room, said Parungao. The news was emotional for board trustees who continued to say the cut was not a reflection on the program or the employees. Trustee Maria Diaz-Slocum was hopeful the district would end up with the funds to hire everyone back and maintain the program currently offered. Trustee Shelly Masur felt the cut was particularly upsetting as the district decided this year to change its description for serving kindergarten through eighth grade to include preschool. Assemblyman Bob Blumenfield, DSherman Oaks, chairman of the Assembly Budget Committee. The budget passed the Assembly rst on a 51-25 vote and then got the bare majority needed in the Senate: 21 votes. The Legislature acted with unusual haste to pass a budget before the start of the scal year on July 1. An initiative passed by voters last fall allows Democrats to pass a budget with a simple majority vote but also halts lawmakers pay if they miss their June 15 constitutional deadline to pass a balanced budget. Democrats had passed a budget by the deadline, but the state controller determined it was not balanced and unrealistic. Increasing taxes still requires a twoWhile partygoers tried to intervene, Garcia ed the scene into the arms of awaiting police ofcers. He then resisted arrest and struggled with the ofcers briey, according to police. He was then taken to the South San Francisco Police Department for prebooking before being transported to county jail. As the suspect was being placed in a patrol car for transport to the jail, Garcia was able to break loose from the ofcer escorting him and tried to escape while still handcuffed, according to police. After running for nearly 30 yards, the ofcer caught up to Garcia and tackled him to the ground. Garcia suffered a broken arm from the fall and was then transcountys landll, but also customers pocketbooks, Moura said. The more they recycle, the more revenue there is and the lower we can keep the rates, he said. The JPA board previously approved no cost of living increases for staff in the upcoming scal year and limits of 2 percent for merit performance payments. The board made the same vote last year as a cost-controlling effort. Of the agencys six employees, only one contract worker has public employee retirement benets. The amended public tipping fees take effect July 1. Solid waste is dropping from $40 to $35 per yard and green waste drops from $29 to $25 per yard. The public construction and demolition fee remains at the current rate of $29. The rate is still signicantly above the public rate of $23 per yard at Ox Mountain Landll, but the JPA staff report on the recommendation suggests it will be offset by offering a newer, safer tipping area at the transfer station. The JPAs budget also funds tours at the Shoreway Environmental Education Center, in which an estimated 2,700 students will visit the transfer station and the Materials Recovery Facility where recyclable items are processed. The program starts in October and is anticipated to host at least 90 tours during the school year. Its the right thing to do for kids. [We are] making it possible for a lot of kids to be prepared for kindergarten. Thats what I say and thats what I believe, Masur said. Vice President Hilary Paulson had to stop her comments as she became emotional discussing the impact. Redwood City has larger class sizes already. Dealing with a kindergarten class of 30 students, many of whom will not have access to preschool now, will be very difficult, she said. Superintendent Jan Christensen called the cut a social justice issue as it would cut preschool options for the poorest children. Despite the bad news, the trustees began brainstorming ideas for other preschool options. Having three open rooms licensed for preschool opens up the opportunity for the district to start its own program. Ideas for a program with a mixture of paid students and subsidized spots was kicked around. In addition, interest was raised in a bilingual program. The district will begin exploring the options as it could mean restoring jobs and also access to preschool for local families. thirds majority vote in the Legislature, and, therefore, at least some support from Republican lawmakers. Unable to get that support, Democrats and Brown relied on a grab bag of options to craft a general-fund spending plan that represents a dramatic drop from pre-recession levels. Total general funding spending was $103 billion in 2007. The budget package included bills that will raise fees, fund a prison realignment and restructure the states 400 redevelopment agencies so that more tax money ows to schools. If the projected higher tax revenue fails to materialize, the budget plan called for immediate cuts to schools, higher education and social services. ported to the county hospital for treatment prior to being booked into county jail, according to police. At the time of Garcias arrest, he had an outstanding warrant in this county for narcotics possession, Lee said. Garcia is being charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, terrorists threats and resisting arrest. South San Francisco police also added an additional charge since he provided ofcers with a phony name, Lee said. The suspect had watery eyes, slurred speech and smelled of alcohol at the time of his arrest, Lee told the Daily Journal. He is being held without bail.

SURPLUS
Continued from page 1
The surplus translates into fewer tipping fees for public customers bringing trash and green waste to Shoreway a change RethinkWaste ofcials believe will also draw in more users that continue adding to revenue. The 2011-12 scal year budget adopted by the RethinkWaste Board of Directors include $40,132,600 in annual revenue and $36,490,650 in expenditures. The result is a net income of $3,641,950. The agency is also keeping $7.91 million set aside to meet its debt service obligations and cash reserve requirement. The fiscal year begins Friday, July 1. The agencys surplus is surprising compared to the original nancial project of $270,000 in income. RethinkWaste is a joint powers authority with 12 members: Atherton, Belmont, Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Foster City, Hillsborough, Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Carlos, San Mateo, San Mateo County and the West Bay Sanitary District. The JPA contracts for waste and recycling service and also owns and manages the Shoreway Environmental Center in San Carlos.

CUTS

board voted to close three classrooms in the child development center program in the fall. On Friday, the district received word of cuts from the state. Previously the state suggested changing the income requirements. Redwood City officials felt such a move would not impact its students who would still meet the criteria. A straight cut, on the other hand, meant the district needed to act quickly to give affected employees 45 days notice. The meeting came hours before the approval of the state budget, which could change the funding again. I am disgusted. When are we going to start thinking of our children as resources? ... Its shameful to get a letter like this and have no recourse. ... It just kills me to see this happen, said Trustee Dennis McBride. Under the plan, three full-day preschool classrooms will be cut, which could affect up to 70 families, said

Republicans criticized the projections of greater-than-expected tax revenue and questioned the legality of new fees.

In the year ahead a second channel of earnings might develop that can be turned into much more than you ever thought possible. Its from a source where you have natural talent but never tapped as a means of profit.
CanCeR (June 21-July 22) -- It behooves you to

keep a low profile in all involvements, especially with career-related matters. Youll attract far more attention when you dont call it to yourself. LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Associating with persons who have a purpose in life, not those who are merely

drifting, will make you feel more secure about your affairs in general. Hang out with those who are doing things and going places. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Use your mental prowess to meet and overcome any obstacles you encounter. Considerable personal satisfaction can be derived from untangling knotty situations. LIBRa (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It normally isnt too smart to offer unsolicited advice to others. Yet if you can clearly see the answer to a problem that another is encountering, speak up and offer what you can. sCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Dont let another hurry you into making purchase beyond your chosen pace of consideration. Be cautious, firm and patient in all of your commercial dealings, regardless of the urgency. saGITTaRIus (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If you have to

make a decision regarding something where your options appear to be of equal value, keep in mind a similar method that you found success with previously. CaPRICORn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Better communications can be established during this cycle if you work on it a bit. Try to resolve any misunderstandings youve had with frequent associates. aQuaRIus (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A recreational break could provide a healthy valve for preventing tension buildup in your body and mind. Allocate as much time as you can for doing nothing but engaging in fun activities. PIsCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Several matters youve been trying to resolve can be concluded to your satisfaction if you simply deal with them one at a time. Work on each one separately.

be too much that will escape your attention. Youre curious, alert and receptive to life itself, and eager to both acquire and impart knowledge about most everything. TauRus (April 20-May 20) -- Just in case you have to improvise while under fire, it will be important to keep your wits about you at all times concerning anything financial. GeMInI (May 21-June 20) -- Its the quality of effort that determines the value of rewards one can receive. Make sure your methods are industrious and productive, and youll exceed even your own expectations. Copyright 2011, United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
