    High-speed rail uncertainty reigns for residents in North Central San Mateo
    By Bill Silverfarb
    DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

    Republicans in Congress continue to refuse to raise the nations debt ceiling without rst gaining major concessions from the White House, a fact that leads U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier to say negotiations b e t w e e n President Barack Obama and GOP leadership is more about politics Jackie Speier and less about the nations nancial health. Congress has until Aug. 2 to raise the $14.5 trillion debt ceiling before the Treasury Department says it will be unable to pay the countrys bills on time and in full. Typically, the debt ceiling is raised without much fanfare. However, this year Republicans have refused to take the vote until the White House and Democrats agree to slash spending without raising taxes. It is a Republican tactic, Speier, DSan Mateo, said to weaken the president.

    For more than 100 years, train tracks have divided the North Central San Mateo neighborhood. Sometimes loud, sometimes considered an eyesore, they have become part of the neighborhoods landscape. The ongoing discussion of highspeed rail is creating an uncertainty about the future of the rail line and how it will change the neighborhood, its property values and the ability of many longtime residents to stay in their homes. The California High-Speed Rail Authority suspended the environmental review process for a four-track sys-

    tem on the Peninsula until it can determine the benets of a blended system as proposed by three state and federal lawmakers. Roelof van Ark, the rail authoritys chief executive ofcer, wants to avoid any unnecessary or duplicative design work until clarity is reached on the selected way forward for the San Francisco to San Jose segment. Van Arks decision to suspend the environmental impact review may come as good news for those who fear the project will require extensive property takings through eminent domain but other property owners along the corridor question whether

    Drop in fatal auto crashes in South City


    DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

    South San Francisco has seen a 60 percent decrease in trafc fatalities over the last three years a period of time during which the city was given over $390,000 in state grants for DUI enforcement, safety and education. This week, the South San Francisco Police Department released a four-page document explaining how it has used grant funds from the California Ofce of Trafc Safety along with the statistical results of those efforts. Since the 2008-09 scal year, when the two agencies began working together, grant funding resulted in the arrest of 37 drivers for driving under the inuence and 24 drivers for various

    A college football player bounced from a ight after refusing crew requests to pull up his baggy pants will not be charged with any crimes for tussling with authorities at San Francisco International Airport June 15. Deshon Everett Marman, 20, was arrested on suspicion of trespassing, battery on a police officer and obstruction after refusing a U.S. Airways employees request to disembark because he wouldnt pull up his pants. The incident sparked cries of racism and intense scrutiny for US Airways, particularly after news broke that just days prior a white man was allowed to fly despite wearing little more than lingerie and drawing passenger complaints. Marman is black. Early Wednesday morning, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe ended weeks of speculation with a formal announcement he would not go forward. Criminal charges arent warranted in light of the circumstances around the incident even though Marman himself could have quickly obviated the need for

    further intervention, he said. Marmans attorney, Joe OSullivan, did not return a call for comment on the decision. A n d r e w Christie, a US Deshon Marman A i r w a y s spokesman, said the decision was welcome and particularly n o t e d Wagstaffes comment that Marman could have resolved the Steve Wagstaffe situation had he chosen to do so. OSullivan and Marman have previously decried the airline for not apologizing. The airline currently has an open line of communication with the San Francisco NAACP and stands behind the decision to enforce compliance with the request by the crew, Christie said. Marman, a football player at the University of New Mexico, had

    Strange but True


    Suspect allowed to view child porn in jail
    SEATTLE Authorities in Washington state say theyre outraged that a former pilot whos already admitted molesting young boys will be allowed to watch videos he made of the abuse while he sits in jail awaiting trial. The whole thing is just dirty, said Pierce County Sheriffs Detective Ed Troyer on Wednesday. Now that victims know hes going to be watching this, theyre going to feel victimized again. This is our call to action to get the law changed. Washingtons Supreme Court ruled in 2007 that upon request, prosecutors must give defense lawyers copies of evidence used to support child pornography charges but it appears nevertheless rare that defense attorneys actually make that request. The courts 8-1 decision said that granting copies of the materials was essential so that defense lawyers, their investigators and the defendants themselves could challenge the evidence such as by arguing that the people depicted werent really minors. The high court set out guidelines for handling the material, saying that it should only be shown to defendants under the supervision of counsel, that defense attorneys would be personally liable for any unauthorized distribution, and that the material had to be promptly returned to law enforcement once the case concluded. But the former pilot, Marc Weldon Gilbert, is representing himself. A judge ruled this week that the prosecutors ofce has to provide copies for him to watch at the jail. The order bars him from being alone when he watches the videos. He will review them in a room visible to corrections ofcers with a defense investigator present, Troyer said. become members of the departments Mounted Enforcement Detail.

    Potatoes donated to needy after truck-train crash


    MILFORD, Del. Potatoes that spilled from a tractor-trailer after a crash with a freight train are now being used to feed needy families in Delaware. The crash occurred Sunday on U.S. 13 in Milford. On Monday morning, the Department of Transportation emailed the Food Bank of Delaware and asked if it could use a dump truck full of potatoes, and the food bank immediately accepted. Food bank spokeswoman Kim Kostes says volunteers sorted through the potatoes to remove the damaged ones. She says bags of potatoes will be offered to the food banks 440 hunger relief program partners statewide. Samuel Frymoyer, the driver of the tractor-trailer, says its awesome that the potatoes are going to people in need. Milford police say Frymoyer is facing several trafc charges as a result of the crash.

    College coachs degree from unaccredited university


    KNOXVILLE, Tenn. New Tennessee baseball coach Dave Serrano obtained a bachelors degree from an unaccredited college. Tennessees job posting for the baseball coach position indicated that a bachelors degree was preferred, but did not list it as a requirement for employment. Serrano was hired in June after three seasons as Cal State Fullerton head coach. Serrano received his degree from The Trinity College and University, an institution registered in Dover, Del., and based out of Spain that awards degrees for life experience. The coach told The Knoxville News Sentinel he has never tried to hide the source of his degree, which he said he obtained at the urging of superiors at Cal State Fullerton in 2003, while he was an assistant. Tennessee interim vice chancellor of athletics Joan Cronan said she was satised by Serranos focus on academics after researching his former teams APR, grade-point averages and graduation rates.

    State officials pushing for vaccine extension

    School Start Dates


    Should the extension pass,students would be required to be vaccinated 30 days after the start of school.Here are the start dates for local districts: Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary Wednesday,Aug.24 Burlingame Elementary Tuesday,Aug.23 Hillsborough City Tuesday,Aug.30 Millbrae Elementary Tuesday,Sept.6 Redwood City Elementary Monday,Aug. 22 San Bruno Park Wednesday,Aug.24 San Carlos Elementary Wednesday,Aug. 24 San Mateo-Foster City Elementary Monday, Aug. 1 for year-round students; Wednesday, Aug. 31 for traditional students San Mateo Union High Tuesday,Aug.16 Sequoia Union Thursday,Aug.25 South San Francisco Unied Wednesday, Aug.17
    vaccinated, according to the California Association of School Business Officials which has been advocating for the extension citing a loss of valuable class time. For example, as of June, only 54 percent of students who need the shot in the San MateoFoster City Elementary School District had gotten it, said Coordinator of Community Services Amber Farinha. That number has since risen to 62 percent. Farinha is hopeful parents will meet the deadline. Calls are going out to parents as a reminder, local businesses have put up signs and hospitals like Kaiser Permanente have been informing residents, she said. For San Mateo-Foster City, year-round schools start Aug. 1 giving parents a little more than two weeks to meet the new requirements. If an extension was passed, parents would have an additional month.

    Starting school now requires a booster shot for California teens but the deadline to get that vaccine may be pushed back. A new law that took effect July 1 requires California students in grades seven through 12 at public and private schools must now prove they have been given the vaccination for whooping cough, also known as pertussis. Children who cant prove they have had the booster by the rst day of school must be turned away. Senate Bill 614, authored by state Sen. Christine Kehoe, D-San Diego, would change the deadline to 30 days after school starts. Its currently making its way through the Assembly. Due to the growing risks of whooping cough, I believe it is very important that children be immunized, Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, wrote in a prepared statement. However, I do not wish to see nearly half of middle school and high school students turned away from school on their rst day back from summer break. The bill passed through the Assembly Health Committee, on which Gordon sits, Monday. The law came after a 2010 spike in whooping cough in the state with 9,120 cases the most since 1947 which resulted in the death of 10 infants. This year, the rates of whooping cough remain high, 1,428 cases as of June 15, according to the California Department of Public Health. Of those, 39 were from San Mateo County. Last year, San Mateo County had 189 cases. School districts and medical providers have been working to get the word out to parents. But school ofcials worry since its summer and parents arent focused on school, students could be turned away on the rst day of school. With the current school year now ended, contact with students and their parents is lost completely or severely diminished. Many districts report large numbers of students still not

    Big-rig carrying wrecked cars overturns
    Emergency road crews cleared a connector ramp between State Route 92 and Highway 101 in San Mateo where a big-rig carrying a load of wrecked vehicles overturned and blocked the road for more than three hours Wednesday afternoon, a California Highway Patrol ofcer said. The big-rig reportedly ipped onto its drivers side at about 12:10 p.m., completely blocking the ramp that connects westbound 92 to southbound Highway 101, CHP Ofcer Kevin Bartlett said. The trucks driver was not injured in the crash, and no other vehicles were involved, Bartlett said. It appears the driver failed to negotiate a curve in the ramp, causing a truckload of smashed vehicles to topple onto the road, Bartlett said. The road reopened at 3:52 p.m., according to the CHP.

    Early-morning house re kills two cats


    A disabled security gate and a long private driveway hampered firefighters efforts to extinguish a two-alarm blaze at a home in Atherton early Wednesday morning, a re ofcial said. Power to the gate had been knocked out, presumably by the re, so reghters had to force their way into the property at 80 Mount Vernon Lane, Menlo Park Fire Protection District Chief Harold Schapelhouman said. He said the driveway created additional challenges because the engine couldnt make it to the home and reghters had to extend the hose for some distance.

He will be sentenced by Breyer on Oct. 5 and faces up to ve years in prison. Acosta, whose gang nicknames were Zoro and Little Bad Boy, became an informant and inltrated a San Francisco branch of the gang in 2005 and 2006 and again in 2008, when he returned illegally to the United States after having been deported.

    Netflix price hike angers users


    By Rachel Metz
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    SAN FRANCISCO Some Netix customers called it a slap in the face. Others a betrayal. Many threatened to drop the movie service. On Wednesday, many of them vented on Twitter, Facebook and elsewhere, seething over Netix Inc.s decision to raise its prices by up to 60 percent for the millions of subscribers who want to rent DVDs by mail and watch movies online. I can denitely afford it but I dropped them on principle, said Joe Turick, a technology engineer in Monroe, N.C., who has been with Netix for about a decade, cancelled his subscription within an hour of learning of Tuesdays price changes and plans to try competitors. By Wednesday afternoon, more than 40,000 people had responded to a post on Netixs Facebook page announcing the change, with some saying they would switch to rivals such as Hulu.coms paid service and to Redboxs DVDrental kiosks. Outrage bubbled on Twitter, and on Netixs blog a posting about the new plans had garnered 5,000 comments the limit allowed by the sites host, Google Inc.-owned Blogger which included many seething customers. Netix said company ofcials expected the intense reaction.

    Everything Netix does is with extensive research and testing and analysis, so we expected some people to be disappointed, company spokesman Steve Swasey said. While thousands complained on Facebook, Twitter and other websites, with 22.8 million customers in the U.S., its clear that plenty of them are not upset about the change. In online postings, a number of users concluded that, even at the higher price, Netix is still a better deal than competitors. On Tuesday, the company said it was splitting up its two services, which means that subscribers who want both streaming video and DVD-bymail access will have to get separate plans that cost at least $16 per month total. Netix had been offering both services as a single package that was available for as little as $10 per month. The price changes took effect immediately for new subscribers, and will begin Sept. 1 for current Netix customers. With the new rates, Netix isnt changing the $8 monthly price for an Internet streaming-only option. However, instead of charging $2 more for a plan that also offers one DVD at a time by mail, the company will charge $8 for a comparable DVD-only plan. That brings the total to $16 for customers who want both services. Customers who want to rent up to two DVDs at a time with streaming will pay $20 per month, dure, Ruiz said. Mail delivery resumed after the postal service reached an agreement with the resident in question.

    or 33 percent more. Those wanting three DVDs at a time with streaming will pay $24 per month, or 20 percent more. While the changes will help Netix bring in more money to cover rising costs it faces to cover buying and shipping discs while licensing more content for its streaming library, they also put off a number of subscribers at least in the short term. Turick, the technology engineer, was paying $10 a month to have unlimited streaming and a single disc out at a time, and with the new plans he would be on the hook for $16 per month. The change felt like a slap in the face, he said, adding that hell try renting movies from Redbox kiosks, ordering on-demand videos through his cable TV provider or using his Bluray player to stream videos from the Web. Zach Olsen, who is vice president of a public relations rm in San Francisco and has used Netix for about ve years, canceled his subscription on Tuesday after receiving an email from the company announcing the price hike. I was red up. And I wanted to put my electronic foot down, Olsen said. Doug Baker, a software developer in Fort Collins, Colo. who has used Netix since 2000, isnt cutting it off completely, but he is downsizing to a cheaper plan. He had been paying $20 for unlimited streaming and four DVDs out at a time, and this would to be the murder weapon was recovered at the scene.

    rise to $30 after Sept. 1. Instead, hell opt to pay $16 for one DVD at a time and unlimited video streaming. Baker thinks the company should have offered a smaller price increase to long-time subscribers, saying, it would have been nice if they showed some appreciation to them. It makes you wonder if they really want to serve their customers or just their stock holders, Baker said. Swasey, the Netix spokesman, would not comment about how many subscribers have actually cancelled their Netix subscriptions, saying the company will discuss subscriber metrics during its quarterly earnings call in late July. Chris Caggiano, a professor at The Boston Conservatory, isnt planning to change his Netix plan either, even though hell pay $20 in September up from $15 currently to have unlimited streaming and two DVDs out at a time. Prices go up. I dont see the big deal. Theres this huge hue and cry its like the end of the world, he said. And Netix, Caggiano pointed out, is a forprot business. This is not a public service, he said. And, as many people are deciding to do, you can go elsewhere. Avenue at about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday when he was approached by a suspect who tried to take his backpack. When the victim resisted, the suspect shot him and ran from the scene with his backpack, Joshi said. She said Oakland police have increased their patrol focus in the area and are asking anyone with information about the incident to call their felony assault unit at (510) 238-3426. Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information about the case.

    Parents given more power to help schools


    By Adam Weintraub
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    SACRAMENTO The California Board of Education on Wednesday unanimously approved a new set of rules known as a parent trigger law, giving parents more power to force changes at poorly performing public schools. The regulations were approved before a packed meeting room in Sacramento. Parents who had taken buses from across the state erupted in cheers. The rules would allow a majority of parents

    at low-performing schools to petition school districts for major changes, from adding programs or converting it to a charter school to ring the principal, cutting half the staff or shutting it down. The action isnt the nal word, however. The proposed regulations will be put out for public comment for 15 days and could be challenged. If no new substantive issues arise, the regulations would take effect, providing a set of guidelines for parents who want to force changes at their school. We want not just parental involvement, we want true power to help guide the education election, and they called in party celebrities like former President Bill Clinton to record automated phone messages. According to unofcial results, Hahn, a Los Angeles city councilwoman, had 41,585 votes, or 54.5 percent, to 34,636, or about 45.4 percent, for Huey, who owns marketing and advertising companies and largely bankrolled his campaign with nearly $900,000 in personal funds. The seat had been held by Democratic Rep. Jane Harman, who stepped down in February to head a Washington think tank.

    of children, said former state Sen. Gloria Romero, the Democratic co-author of the legislation that led to the rules. Dozens of parents joined the education groups to address the board, most of them calling for quick approval of the third version of the so-called parent-trigger rules. Without clear regulations, we cant use this power, said Casondra Perry of Los Angeles. Her 8-year-old son will start the fourth grade this year as a gifted student in one of the lowest-performing schools in the Los Angeles Unied School District, she said. The rules and the larger push for parent power have been controversial. 405 freeway is a vital artery that carries heavy commuter trafc between the west side of Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley as well as long-distance travelers from a web of interconnecting highways across the state. At the Sherman Oaks Galleria mall, located next to a junction that will mark the northern point of the closure, mall owners touted an I Survived Carmageddon Weekend Celebration. Restaurants at the mall offered two-for-one drinks promotions, free food samples and other incentives to lure neighborhood customers who may otherwise have been scared off the roads by a drumbeat of apocalyptic warnings from authorities.

    A petition to convert a Compton Unied School District elementary school into a charter school has wound up in court. Last week, four parents from around the state led an ethics complaint against state Board of Education member Patricia Rucker, saying she has previously worked on behalf of the California Teachers Association union and should not vote on the issue. Rucker voted in favor of the revised rules on Wednesday. Afterward, she said the petition against her contained inaccurate information, she has no conict of interest and she has never expressed an opinion on the parent-trigger rules. afliates of the Mexican Maa, a prison gang believed to be deeply involved in drug- and gunrunning.

    State Democrats hold House seat after tough race
    LOS ANGELES What was the surprise in a coastal California congressional election? The Republican won 45 percent of the vote. Democrat Janice Hahn survived a scare Tuesday and grabbed the vacant 36th Congressional District House seat, but her ninepoint winning margin over Republican Craig Huey was less than impressive in a district that often delivers big victories for Democrats. The district that curls along Santa Monica Bay was drawn to elect Democratic candidates the party has an 18-point registration advantage over the GOP. President Barack Obama carried the district in 2008 with a 31-point edge over Republican John McCain. Despite the loss, Republicans argued that Democrats are vulnerable heading toward the 2012 national elections, even in left-leaning California. In a region with double-digit unemployment and where many homeowners are struggling with sagging property values, Hahn ran like she was behind.

A nonprot called Access for All that manages public pathways to the beach agreed to get rid of an access point at a home overlooking one of the most exclusive parts of the California coast in exchange for money and lawyer fees from the resident to open a different pathway. However, the deal didnt get very far. Superior Court Judge James C. Chalfant last week upheld enforcement action by the state to open the original pathway past Lisette Ackerbergs home to Carbon Beach. The pathway was a condition of a development permit the Coastal Commission gave in the 1980s to the Ackerberg family, which has a mansion, three-car garage, tennis courts and pool spanning two beachfront lots. Steve Hoye, who heads Access for All, and Diane Abbitt, an attorney for Ackerberg, did not immediately return calls for comment Wednesday.

    Obama to Republicans:Dont call my bluff


    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    WASHINGTON President Barack Obama bluntly told Republican congressional leaders Wednesday they must compromise quickly if the government is to avoid an unprecedented default, adding, Dont call my bluff by passing a short-term debt limit increase he has threatened to veto. The presidential warning, directed at House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., marked an acrimonious end to a two-hour negotiating session at the White House that produced no evident progress toward a compromise. Another round of talks is set for Thursday. With a threatened default less than three weeks away, Moodys Investors Service announced it was reviewing the U.S. bond rating for a possible downgrade, and the Treasury said the annual decit was on a pace to exceed $1 trillion for the third year in a row. With the negotiations at a seeming standstill, Republicans drew a warning of a differ-

    ent sort, from an unlikely source the partys Senate leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. In an interview with radio talk-show host Laura Ingraham, McConnell warned fellow conservatives that failure to raise Barack Obama the debt limit would probably ensure Obamas reelection in 2012. Republicans, many of them elected with the support of tea party activists in 2010, are demanding deep spending cuts as the price for allowing a debt limit increase to pass. But negotiations have bogged down over Obamas demand for tax increases that GOP lawmakers say they wont accept. McConnell predicted that if Congress fails to act, Obama will argue that Republicans are making the economy worse and try to convince the public, maybe with some merit, if and other vehicles during the 25-minute trip to the airport, where Fords mahogany casket, covered in owers, was placed aboard an Air Force jet sometimes used by Vice President Joe Biden. Shortly after 10 a.m. the plane, also carrying Fords family, departed for Grand Rapids, Mich., and landed about 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time where the former rst lady was to be laid to rest Thursday next to her late husband President Gerald R. Ford at his presidential museum. By the time the motorcade ended its slow journey to the museum, about 200 people already had gathered outside the building. The memorial service is private, but the public can begin ling past Betty Fords body at 7 p.m. for a public viewing.

    people start not getting their Social Security checks and military families start getting letters saying their service people overseas dont get paid. You know, its an argument he has a good chance of winning, and all of a sudden we (Republicans) have co-ownership of a bad economy, McConnell said. That is a very bad positioning going into an election. McConnell said his rst choice was to reach a good compromise with Obama. Short of that, my second obligation is to my party ... to prevent them from being sucked into a horrible position politically that would allow the president probably to get reelected because we didnt handle this difcult situation correctly. With bipartisan talks scheduled to resume on Thursday, two Democratic ofcials quoted Obama as telling Republicans, Enough is enough. We have to be willing to compromise. It shouldnt be about positioning and politics and Ill see you all tomorrow.

    Talking with reporters at the Capitol after he left the White House, Cantor said the president had backed away from spending cuts agreed to earlier because of pressure from Democrats in Congress. He said the two sides were far from agreement on a $2.4 trillion package of decit cuts that would allow the Treasury to borrow through the next election. As a result, the Virginian said he had reversed his own position, and was now willing to ask the House to approve a smaller increase, with a second installment before the 2012 election. He got very agitated seemingly and said he had sat here long enough and that no other president, Ronald Reagan wouldnt sit here like this, Cantor said of the president. Cantor quoted Obama as saying the talks had reached the point that somethings got to give, and demanded Republicans either jettison their demand for decit cuts at least equal to the size of the debt limit or drop their opposition to tax increases.

    Missing Brooklyn boy killed and dismembered
    NEW YORK An 8-year-old Brooklyn boy who got lost while walking home alone from day camp in his Orthodox Jewish neighborhood was killed and dismembered by a stranger he had asked for directions, and his remains were found stuffed in a trash bin and the mans refrigerator, police said Wednesday. The gruesome killing of Leiby Kletzky shocked the tight-knit Hasidic community in Borough Park, in part because it is one of the safest sections of the city and because the man under arrest is himself an Orthodox Jew. A day-and-a-half search for the Hasidic boy ended with the discovery of his severed feet inside a bloody freezer at the home of a man who had been spotted with the child on a surveillance video, a law enforcement ofcial told The Associated Press. The rest of the remains were in the trash in another neighborhood.

    Feds eye CIA ofcer in prisoner death


    WASHINGTON A CIA ofcer who oversaw the agencys interrogation program at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and pushed for approval to use increasingly harsh tactics has come under scrutiny in a federal war crimes investigation involving the death of a prisoner, witnesses told The Associated Press. Steve Stormoen, who is now retired from the CIA, supervised an unofcial program in which the CIA imprisoned and interrogated men without entering their names in the Armys books. The so-called ghosting program was unsanctioned by CIA headquarters. In fact, in early 2003, CIA lawyers expressly prohibited the agency from running its own interrogations, current and former intelligence ofcials said. The lawyers said agency ofcers could be present during military interrogations and add their expertise but, under the laws of war, the military must always have the lead.

    RALEIGH, N.C. The Army is suspending use of its rst new parachute since the 1950s after a paratrooper was killed while jumping with the updated model, which features a square-shaped canopy resembling a huge tted bedsheet. The T-11 parachute has been gradually replacing an older, mushroom-shaped design that has remained largely unchanged for more than ve decades. The new parachute is supposed to be safer and more reliable because it has a larger canopy to slow a soldiers rate of descent and reduce injuries from hard landings. The suspension announced Friday came about two weeks after Staff Sgt. Jamal Clay, 25, of Elida, Ohio, died at Fort Bragg following an apparent parachute malfunction during a routine

    training jump from 800 feet, a typical altitude simulating combat conditions. After Clays death, investigators identied problems with the packing process for the parachutes that resulted in tangled loops, twists in the top of the canopy and improper folds that could hamper the chutes operation. The observations are signicant and pervasive enough to indicate potential systemic shortfalls, according to the Army order suspending use of the T-11. Army spokesman William Layer said the suspension was standard procedure until the military can investigate. The investigation is being done at the Army Safety Center at Fort Rucker, Ala. A spokesman at the facility did not respond to a call for comment Wednesday.

Board President Jerry Hill was not completely convinced and appointed himself and Supervisor Rich Gordon as a subcommittee to meet with garbage ofcials. The number of complaints increased considerably after Allied merged with Browning Ferris Industries, said Hill, wondering if the changes would affect customer service. It raises more questions. Will we still receive the service we expect? Hill said.

    The state Court of Appeals overturned a decision the week of July 15, 2006 that ruled Redwood City violated the law when it used eminent domain to build the new downtown cinema. The state court overruled the 2005 San Mateo County Superior Court decision that favored property owners. It was a small technicality in a gray area of the law. Don Wilson, the downtown attorney who led the original lawsuit was disappointed in the decision, but said he was thinking about appealing to the State Supreme Court. Wilson led the lawsuit in 2001 when the city chose to invoke its eminent domain right on some downtown properties to make room for the new cinema. The city felt it was improving a blighted area of the city by buying and redeveloping the land. Wilson argued the city went beyond the 12 years it was allotted to evoke its rights. It actually extended its 12-year period by six years so it would have enough time to pursue additional property, Wilson said.

    THE DAILY JOURNAL

    OPINION
    Constitution will, however, force the government to make our debt payments before spending elsewhere. Is it really so hard for the government to cut 10 percent elsewhere to compensate? For example, we just authorized $4.5 billion Alice Weiss for the federal government to feed kids at school. When did parents become unable to send their kids to school with a lunch? I bet those kids wont be eating their government-issued peas. We have paid out about a billion dollars, with billions more proposed, in reparations for alleged racial discrimination by the USDA against black farmers. Almost 100,000 claims have been submitted. One big problem. There are only about 18,000 black farmers in the United States (http://bit.ly/dmWFy8). Perhaps the government could save some money by not aiding in massive fraud. The CBO estimates Obamacare, the massive government program pushed into law by Democrat lawmakers against the will of the majority of Americans, will cost $2 trillion over 10 years (http://bit.ly/9toUSb), yet it is Republicans who are supposed to compromise on debt reduction measures. This administration submitted a budget in February that would have increased the decit. It was defeated 97-0 in the Senate. But today Obama pretends to be serious about debt. And his serious attempt at debt reduction only focuses on trying to raise revenue by soaking the rich. Thats not serious at all. In the past couple of weeks, President Obama has launched an offensive against the wealthy, the corporate jet-owning elite. Our national debt is closing in on fourteen and half trillion dollars and he thinks that raising taxes and closing some loopholes (which he

    A responsible way to solve debt issue


    By Alice Weiss

    o you remember when President Obama said that a $787 billion stimulus package would save the economy? That with it our unemployment rate wouldnt go above 8 percent? Or when he said that taxes shouldnt be raised in a down economy? I hope you do, because Obama seems to have forgotten. Over the past weeks during the debt reduction discussions, Obama has nally admitted that a huge national debt might not be great for the economy. Of course, this epiphany comes after he spent like a drunken sailor on shore leave. But I insult the sailor. At least he spends his own money. Obama has also now changed his tune on taxes, saying raising them as part of a debt limit compromise can have a positive impact in overall growth and employment. This schizophrenic approach seems less like governance and more like throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks politically. Obama has attempted to look like the grown-up in the room regarding the debt discussions. His condescending comments that its time to eat our peas and pull off the Band-Aid belie the fact that when he entered ofce our debt was $10.626 trillion and now, just a little over two years later, it stands at over $14 trillion. It also shows that his analogies need work. He, and others, claim than an increase in the debt ceiling is necessary to service our debt. Borrowing money to pay off other borrowed money doesnt seem like sound scal policy or in the presidents vernacular, eating our peas. It sounds more like loan kiting a federal crime. It is also unnecessary. Our current debt service payments come to less than 10 percent of the tax revenue we take in. Not raising the ceiling wont force a default. The 14th Amendment of the

    Guest perspective
    himself signed into law, http://bit.ly/ipwy76) will solve this problem. Obama has always been a demagogue, but didnt he used to be better at it? The U.S. government has become a behemoth suffocating the American people. It has grown exponentially for several decades, but we are now at a tipping point. It is unsustainable to have federal government spending at around 25 percent of GDP. The national debt is projected to exceed the size of the entire U.S. economy in 10 years. (http://wapo.st/mEQQPz) We have a problem with debt. The solution isnt to go into more debt, its to live within our means, and we should start by cutting spending, not raising taxes. In Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith surmised that a tax of 2 percent of a mans wealth was so onerous it was too heavy to be permanent. The rst federal income tax levied against the American people established a rate of 3 percent on all income exceeding $800. We have fallen from a time when taking less than 5 percent of a mans earnings was considered steep to a point where a 35 percent tax rate is complained of as unfair for being too low. Those corporate jet owners arent responsible for our nations debt unbridled spending is. Spending within ones means isnt a radical proposition. And if President Obama wants America to start eating our peas, thats a good place to start.

    A final salute
    elcome home, Edward Lawrence OToole. Your trip has been a long time coming, Army private first class. Although your obituary doesnt list an age, I imagine you barely taking the steps into adulthood when you died Nov. 20, 1944 in Sggerath, Germany. And there you stayed, missing in action until Feb. 2, 2010. Your parents and six siblings back in the Bay Area undoubtedly wondered what had happened. Friends likely made assumptions, based on the number of other coffins coming home with American boys and truncated dreams. Nobody knew for certain. Life went on. You waited for a proper goodbye. Now those loved ones are gone themselves and there are no known living relatives. However, more than 66 years later, you are finally making the journey back. Ofcials say on Thursday morning you will make your way from San Francisco International Airport to Golden Gate Cemetery in San Bruno. On Friday, you will nally will be buried with full military honors. I only wish you had someone close to watch the closure of this life chapter. I only wish the rest of us knew more about you personally as to honor the man as well as the soldier. You were a member of D Company, 33rd Infantry Regiment, 84th Division, according to the Joint Prisoners of War/Missing in Action Accounting Command whose work led to your identification. You were killed in action when the unit faced enemy fire in western German while trying to take the towns of Geilenkirchen, Sggerath, Milendorf and Wrm. Your stark obituary tells this much but little else. Were you an Edward or an Eddie or an Ed? Maybe a Ted or some completely random nickname bestowed in childhood? Were you a dog or cat person? Was a return back to San Francisco part of the plan after duty? Did you have a sweetheart back home anxiously awaiting each letter? What comfort food did you miss while overseas? Did you even have time to realize your final moments were, well, final? These are the familiar details that lead the living to mourn. But their omission from the end of this story doesnt mean we cant still respect and recognize your passing. Cynics may ask why any of us should put in this kind of effort for a throwback to a different generation, a different war, a different familys loss. Shame on them if they do. What are holidays like Memorial Day and Veterans Day if not an opportunity to recognize all military members, including those who dont share the same blood? What are memorial slabs of name-etched granite and crouching life-size statues if not reminders of ultimate sacrifices? Its important for society to acknowledge this moment. Its also important for you, wherever that may be right now. Maybe you were the type of person who would have claimed not to care but deep down inside what everybody wants is to be remembered. Please consider this a thank you for your service and a salute for your life. Welcome home, Edward Lawrence OToole. Welcome home and rest in peace.

    Letter to the editor


    Taxes were cut and it stimulated the economy
    Editor, In his letter, Credit where credit is due, in the July 13 edition of the Daily Journal, Jorg Aadahl does not cover history very well. He says that tax cuts wont stimulate the economy or create jobs and uses the Bush tax cuts as his example. If one goes back further in United States history to the Kennedy administration, taxes were cut and it stimulated the economy. Next was Reagan and again, taxes were cut and the economy responded with the longest economic upturn ever experienced in United States history. The problem with using the Bush tax cuts as his example is twofold. First, the Bush tax cuts were to stop a slide of the economy brought about by the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and in that regard, they worked. Secondly, the Bush tax cuts were billed as temporary. Because they were temporary, business had less condence to invest and hire for the long term. By the way, another goal Reagan had but did not succeed in as much as he did with tax cuts was to reduce government regulation and bureaucracy. That is an area that also needs a lot of effort. In fact, instead of growing smaller during this Great Recession, the government has grown immensely.

    Casey Anthony versus the war


    Editor, A U.S.-led airstrike has targeted a house in eastern Afghanistan killing at least 13 civilians. Those killed included eight children, two women and three men. Seems like most Americans care more about Casey Anthony and how she escaped justice than they care about the war criminals in the White House who continue to murder day in and day out in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan.

    Wall Street
    meet the deadline could result in a U.S. debt default, which would have disastrous effects for the economy and nancial markets. Boehner, a Republican, said that dealing with Democrats on the issue has been like dealing with Jell-O. Bernanke spelled out specic steps the Fed might consider if the economy gets worse, including another round of bond purchases. He also detailed what the Fed would do should the economy improve. Bernankes position remains that the slowdown in the U.S. economy this spring is due largely to temporary factors including high gas prices and parts shortages caused by the earthquake in Japan. He said he still expects economic growth to pick up in the second half of the year. Energy and materials stocks rose more than the overall market as investors bought companies that would benet most from an upturn in the economy. Heavy equipment maker Caterpillar Inc. rose 1.6 percent, the most of any of the 30 stocks in the Dow average. The Feds policy of ultra-low interest rates and buying U.S. Treasury bonds on the open market has pushed stocks higher since last August. Many traders were disappointed when the Fed ended its second round of bond purchases in June.

    NEW YORK Comments from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke set off a stock market rally early Wednesday, but it wasnt long before another Fed ofcial helped cut it short. In testimony before Congress, Bernanke said the central bank would be open to new economic stimulus measures, but only if the economy gets much worse. The remarks were far from a promise for more Fed action, but markets reacted immediately nonetheless. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped as many as 164 points, or 1.3 percent. Most of those gains evaporated later in the day after Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Richard Fisher said in a speech that the Fed had already pressed the limits of monetary policy. The Standard & Poors 500 index rose 4.08, or 0.3 percent, to close at 1,317.72. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 44.73, or 0.4 percent, to 12,491.61. The Nasdaq composite rose 15.01, or 0.5 percent, to 2,796.92. Indexes had fallen over the previous three days.

    Fed to act if economy worsens


    By Martin Crutsinger
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    WASHINGTON Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told lawmakers Wednesday the Fed is ready to act if the economy gets weaker. He warned them that allowing the nation to default on its debt would send shock waves through the entire nancial system. Underscoring how fragile the economy remains two years after the Great Recession, Bernanke laid out three new steps the Fed could take, including a fresh round of government bond purchases designed to stimulate economic growth. We have to keep all the options on the table. We dont know where the economy is going to go, Bernanke told the House Financial Services Committee. The Fed chairman stopped short of promising anything, but Wall Street appeared comforted that the central bank was poised to act. The Dow Jones industrial average was up more than 150 points during his testimony to Congress, and closed up 45. The nation was creating about 200,000 jobs a month this spring. But hiring slowed almost to a standstill in June, with 18,000 new jobs. It takes about

    125,000 a month just to keep up with population growth. While Bernanke made his twice-yearly appearance before Congress, lawmakers and the White House were trying to salvage talks on how to reduce the federal decit and whether to raise the limit on what the government can borrow. If they fail to strike a deal on the debt limit by Aug. 2, the White House has said, the nation will default. President Barack Obama has said he cannot guarantee even that Social Security checks would go out the next day. Moodys Investors Service threatened Wednesday to lower the United States credit rating, saying there is a small but rising risk of default. Economists have warned that the credit system would tighten, not unlike the worst days of the 2008 nancial crisis. Before Congress, Bernanke added his own dire predictions. If we went so far as to default on the debt, it would be a major crisis because the Treasury security is viewed as the safest and most liquid security in the world, he said. Its the foundation for most of our nancial for much of our nancial system, he added. And the notion that it would become suddenly unreliable and 2.6 percent gain and short of its 2.9 percent projection.

    illiquid would throw shock waves through the entire global nancial system. Asked whether interest rates would go up for everyday Americans, Bernanke said: Absolutely. The Fed bought $600 billion in government bonds late last year and early this year, a program designed to keep interest rates low and support the prices of assets such as stocks. It was the second time the Fed had taken that step since the recession started. It was known on Wall Street as QE2, or a second round of quantitative easing. Besides a third round, Bernanke laid out two additional options if the economy gets weaker: The Fed could offer nancial markets more clarity about how long it tends to leave interest rates at record lows, where they have stood since December 2008. For now, the Fed says only that rates will remain exceptionally low for an extended period. It could start paying banks less interest on the excess money they park with the Fed. It doesnt pay much now 0.25 percent. But paying even less would encourage the banks to loan the money out rather than sending it to the central bank.

    Online retailers responsible for trademark infringements


    BRUSSELS Online retailers like eBay Inc. can be held responsible for the infringement of trademarks by goods they sell, Europes top court said Tuesday. National courts can order online retailers to stop trademark infringement and prevent similar incidents in the future, the Luxembourg-based European Court of Justice said. The ECJs clarication of EU laws came in response to questions referred to the court by the High Court in London in 2009. The U.K. court was seeking the ECJs opinion in a case brought by French cosmetics company LOreal SA against eBay, which is based in San Jose, Calif. LOreal complained that some of its products that were not deemed for sale in Europe were being offered on eBay and that the retailer was not making enough of an effort to prevent such sales.

    Hillsborough captures District 52 crown

    DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

    It was only fitting that Hillsboroughs Miles Todzo was on the mound for out No. 18 of last nights District 52 11-12 All-Star tournament not only was it his birthday, but the right hander wears number seven. And for the seventh time in the last eight years, the Hillsborough All-Stars are the champions of District 52.

    On Monday, they blasted past San Carlos American 11-0 to force a winner-take-all game, riding the 3for-4, ve RBI bat of Todzo in the win. On Wednesday, Hillsboroughs bat were, for the most part, silenced by Garrett McCarthy, but San Carlos had no answer for Robert DiCioccio, who closed out Mondays contest and took the pearl last night, hurling 4 1/3 innings of one-run baseball to lead his team to a 2-1 victory. Todzo came in to relieve DiCioccio after he hit his

    pitch limit and struck out four, including the last out in the championship win. It feels great, DiCioccio said. I missed 9-10 year when they won here last time and last year we lost so it feel good to win it. It was two big hits and my two pitchers came in and shut them down, said Hillsborough manager Gary Goodman. Last game when we beat them by that large margin, we didnt think it was that large of a

    MOENCHENGLADBACH, Germany Abby Wambach sure knows how to deliver. A goal, a promise and soon, she hopes, a World Cup title. The U.S. women had fans on edge once again until Wambach broke a tense tie with her header off a corner kick in the 79th minute Wednesday. Alex Morgan scored three minutes later to seal a 3-1 seminal victory over France, and the Americans let loose with a party that carried all the way across the Atlantic Ocean. Next up, a trip to the World Cup nal Sunday in Frankfurt that will be the rst for Americans since 1999, when they last won it all. Theyll play Japan, which upset Sweden 3-1 to move one step away from realizing its own dream. Weve achieved part of our goal. Were in the nal, Wambach said. We want to complete it. We want to be world champs. So do their fans, new and old. The Americans captivated the crowd back home with their epic, come-from-behind win over Brazil on Sunday, and a little thing called a workday wasnt going to deter them.

    NEW YORK Heavily ned Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison calls NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell a crook and a devil, among other insults, in a magazine article. The 2008 AP Defensive Player of the Year hasnt been shy about ripping the league after he was docked $100,000 for illegal hits last season. In the August issue of Mens Journal, his rants against Goodell reach another level of wrath. James Harrison If that man was on re and I had to piss to put him out, I wouldnt do it, Harrison told the magazine. I hate him and will never respect him. His other descriptions of the commissioner include an anti-gay slur, stupid, puppet and dictator. If the Steelers had defeated the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl, Harrison said, he would have whispered in Goodells ear during the trophy ceremony: Why dont you quit and do something else, like start your own league in ag football? Harrison also criticizes other NFL execs, Patriots-turned-commentators Rodney Harrison and Tedy Bruschi (clowns), Houstons Brian Cushing (juiced out of his mind) and even teammates Rashard Mendenhall and Ben Roethlisberger for their performances in the Super Bowl loss. Harrison calls the running back a fumble machine for his fourth-quarter turnover.

    rst place. How the injury-lled Giants are leading the NL West can be a bit bafing. About all the defending World Series champions do well is pitch close and win closer, and that seems to be the only things that matter. The Giants open a four-game series at San Diego on Thursday, beginning the seasons second half in rst place

    for the rst time since 2003 and looking every bit the surprising contender they were a year ago. This rst half is a good one for us with the nicks that weve taken as players and everyone showing resiliency and bouncing back and being a part of the team regardless of what theyre asked to do, two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum said. Were in a

    good spot right now. Hard to argue that considering what theyve endured. The Giants lost the middle of their lineup Buster Posey, Freddy Sanchez and Pablo Sandoval to injuries for signicant time. They had a roadstacked schedule early and enough championship ceremonies and celebrations to provide plenty of distractions.

    Players even had camera crews following their every move for a documentary titled The Franchise, with the rst episode premiering Wednesday night on Showtime. The Giants certainly havent lacked for drama. Posey, the 2010 NL Rookie of the Year, was lost for the sea-

    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    SANDWICH, England Tiger Woods is back home, nursing a sore leg. The rest of American golf isnt doing so well, either. The U.S. is mired in its longest drought of the modern Grand Slam era, having gone ve straight majors without a victory. Phil Mickelson was the last American to capture a title, more than a year ago at the 2010 Masters. Since then, its been two golfers from Northern Ireland (Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell), two from South Africa (Charl Schwartzel and Louis Oosthuizen) and one from Germany (Martin Kaymer). While players from all over the world describe the U.S. slump as nothing more than cyclical, Nick Watney concedes that its getting a bit bothersome. You never want to hear youre inferior, he said Wednesday. Coming into the British Open, Europeans hold the top four spots in the world rankings. Steve Stricker is the highest American at No. 5. With Woods sidelined by an injury, the 22-year-old McIlroy is a solid favorite to follow up his eightstroke victory at the U.S. Open with another major title at Royal St. Georges. The bookies also like a pair of Englishmen who happen to be 1-2 in the world rankings, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood. The Americans? Just an afterthought on the eve of the opening round.

    Phil Mickelson takes a practice shot. Mickelson is the last American to win a major.
    In the grand scheme of things, its not such a big deal. In 40 years time, it will look like a blip, said Padraig Harrington of Ireland, a three-time major winner. But when you look at the smaller picture, its easy to say that Europe has become dominant in golf until you remember that two of those majors were won by South Africans. Theyre a strong country, too. And I think the next few majors might be won by the Australians. As in many sports, from basketball to tennis to swimming, the rest of the world has sliced into Americas once-commanding position. Golf is no different, with 24 nations represented at this seaside course in southern England.

    NEW YORK The fan who returned Derek Jeters ball from his 3,000th hit will get a bit of memorabilia to keep his own baseball card. Topps says it will produce a trading card featuring Christian Lopez that will be included in sets later this year. We thought what he did captures the essence of what baseball and the Topps company is about, said Mark Sapir, Topps vice president for sports. The recent college graduate with outstanding student loans will get some nancial help, too. Memorabilia dealer Brandon Steiner and sporting goods CEO Mitch Modell said they will make sure Lopez gets at least $50,000 toward his outstanding student loans

    of $150,000. Steiner said he got a call on Wednesday from his buddy Modell, and they got the ball rolling. Steiner set up an auction of memorabilia that eventually will include baseballs signed by both Lopez and Jeter and said Modell is pledging ve percent from the sale of Yankees-related merchandise at the Modells chain during what will be called Christian Lopez Week. That itself is a totally awesome situation right now for all parties involved, Lopez said. What impressed the sports executives as well as countless fans across the country was the way a 23-year-old mobile phone salesman passed on the chance to sell the ball. Instead, Lopez gave the ball to Jeter, saying he deserved to have the keepsake. Can you believe how good a

    mensch this kid was? Steiner said. Lopez has been overrun with requests since Saturday. Its been overwhelming to be honest with you, he said. Its been a little crazy. But Im handling it as best I can. Im trying to get back to everybody I can. That includes Topps. Yeah, I spoke with them a couple days ago, Lopez said. All I know, is they kind of want to make a baseball card out of me. Lopez was an avid collector as a kid. He said he has probably a couple thousand baseball cards. His favorite? A Yankees card, of course. It depicts Babe Ruth and one of the Yankees owners at the time he came over from the Red Sox in 1920. Its a very dear card to me. Ive had it for 15 years now or so, Lopez said.

    Cavendish wins 11th stage


    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    LAVAUR, France Mark Cavendish nearly lost a shoe in the nal stretch but kept his cool to win a rainy 11th stage of the Tour de France in a mass sprint Wednesday, easily beating Andre Greipel of Germany at the line to seize the leading sprinters green jersey. French rider Thomas Voeckler kept the race leaders yellow jersey after the 104.1-mile trek from Blaye-lesMines to Lavaur. Voeckler nished 75th in the stage but with the same time as the winner. Cavendish made the most of the

    last stage designed for sprinters before the race reaches the Pyrenees to claim his 18th stage win at the Tour, his third in this years race. He won in 3 hours, 46 minutes, 7 seconds. Its incredible to have the green jersey. Its the most beautiful jersey in the world, said Cavendish, who got an assist from HTC-Highroad teammate Mark Renshaw. Cavendishs efforts were almost ruined toward the end when he hit the front wheel of Frenchman Romain Feillus bike. There were 10 of us close together and my shoe banged into his front

    wheel, he said. My foot technically came out of the shoe I had to reach down and slide the ratchet and redo it with 600 meters to go. I was lucky there were no swerves in the peloton. It could have been quite dangerous. Cavendish, who took the green jersey from Philippe Gilbert of Belgium, now leads Jose Joaquin Rojas by 16 points. He will have two more opportunities to win stages before the race ends on the Champs Elysees on July 24. Despite his impressive tally of stage wins at the Grande Boucle, the coveted sprint champions jersey has so far eluded the 26-year-old Cavendish.

    Burial or Cremation: Why does this matter?


    By Paul Larson
    MILLBRAE Are you ever asked the question: Burial or Cremation? Im sure youve thought about this but have you ever seriously thought about this? It is tough for some of us to give this topic the time of day but for many more of us this is a topic of curiosity, and also a topic we will need to deal with at some point in our lives. Burial or Cremation is always a personal choice but did you know that in the long run there is little difference between the two, also a BIG difference but not in the way you think? In the eyes of the state both Burial and Cremation are considered a form of final disposition. Still, it is not that simple. A basic explanation would be this: Burial is a final location; Cremation is a step to a final location. What does this mean? In scenario number one: following a visitation & funeral service the deceased is taken to a specific cemetery to be placed in either a ground burial location or a mausoleum space BUT in a second scenario: following that same visitation & funeral service the deceased would be taken to a crematory to complete the cremation process. When the cremated remains are ready a choice would be needed by the next of kin on whether the cremated remains are to be buried in a cemetery, scattered at sea, taken home, etc. So, when Cremation is selected, Burial can still be the final disposition following the cremation, among other choices. People dont deal with this topic every day, and I know that it is imagined by some that Cremation means the deceased is taken away and will just disappear. That is never the case, and there is always the necessity to properly give the deceased a final resting place. The state legally requires it, and the funeral home is mandated to complete & file necessary paperwork reflecting it prior to any final disposition. I know all this may seem complicated, but it is our job as Funeral Directors to make it all very simple and guide you every step of the way. It is our duty to support families as they maneuver through a sometimes daunting situation and unfamiliar territory, and to provide various options on what is available. Many prefer to make pre-need arrangements years in advance so choices can be made in a more relaxed atmosphere. Pause and imagine yourself as the next of kin following the death of a loved one and being asked the question Burial or Cremation?. Can you knowledgeably answer that? It may be a good idea to at least give the question some thought now. Ive served a few families in the past who couldnt answer that question and ended up making a quick decision they later regretted. It wont hurt to let this topic cross your mind, or even to discuss this question with your family, loved ones, clergy or those who give you support. Look back at your family traditions and use that as a guide. Its important for those who care to have a way to say farewell, and for many to have a place to go following the funeral as a way to visit and begin the healing process. 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.

    opening arguments in Clemens trial on charges of lying to Congress about using performance-enhancing drugs. Clemens attorney Rusty Hardin responded that he wont dispute the needles contain Clemens DNA and steroids, but accused the trainer Brian McNamee of mixing it up. He manufactured this stuff, Hardin told jurors. Roger Clemens only crime was having the poor judgment to stay connected with Brian McNamee. Clemens has said that the only things McNamee ever injected him with were the common local anesthetic lidocaine for his joints and vitamin B-12 to ward off u viruses and stay healthy. But Durham said neither substance was found on the needles or cotton swabbed with his blood stains.

    margin we knew it was a lot closer and today it was more how we thought it was going to be. The long ball was the story Wednesday night. McCarthy and DiCioccio were dominant and for the most part, matched each other pitch-for-pitch. The difference was a single pitch and a single swing in the top of the fourth inning. It was then that Will Labsen swung at the rst pitch of his at-bat and deposited the fastball over the right centereld fence for a 2-0 Hillsborough lead. The Labsen home run would prove to be the margin of victory for Hillsborough after Andy Cross connected for a tater of his own in the

    bottom of the fth that cut the San Carlos decit in half. Garrett followed that smash with a base hit, marking the end of DiCioccios night. Todzo was summoned from rst base and the right hander struck out a pair of San Carlos hitters to thwart any ideas of an equalizing rally. It was exciting, but I was also kind of nervous, DiCioccio said of his start. But I closed out on Monday so I knew I could beat these guys. DiCioccio said his nerves settled a bit early on after Blake Marcus gave Hillsborough an early lead when he homered on an 0-2 count two batters into the game. That was nice to get some run support early, DiCioccio said. Because a lot of times we dont start scoring until the third or fourth inning. wrist surgery but has carried San Francisco since. The All-Star third baseman has a career-high 21-game hitting streak. We need to keep ghting the way we have in the rst half, Sandoval said. Weve had a couple of tough injuries. Buster, Freddy, I was on the DL. We are a team. We need to pull together like we did in the rst half. The Giants have continued to play the kind of games they did all of last year: tight ones dependent on the pitcher being almost perfect. They lead the majors with a 25-12 record in one-run games this season, thanks in large part to a talented rotation and a strong bullpen.

    We played a really good game, said San Carlos manager Greg Yedinak. Hats off to Hillsborough, theyre a tough team. We gave them what we could and they still came out ahead. Im really proud of the way our guys played. They played great the entire tournament. We just hit up against a better team, which happens when you play baseball. Hillsboroughs win continues their dynasty-like run through District 52. Theyve won the 11-12 title in 04, 05, 07, 08, 09 and 10. The tradition is we work hard, Goodman said. Its always been the same program and that program has been instilled in the way we approach the District 52 tournament as a result, weve had success. Were not the most talented team out there, but I think we work really hard. San Franciscos rotation received a big boost from 33-year-old journeyman Ryan Vogelsong, who leads the staff with a 2.17 ERA and made his rst All-Star team in a breakout season since replacing the injured Barry Zito. If Vogelsong comes anywhere close to duplicating his remarkable start, it could be a scary outlook for the National League. The rest of the staff carried the franchise to its rst title since 1954 and rst since moving West in 1958 last season, and its doing it again despite the fourth-worst run support in the majors. It has been tough, said Matt Cain, one of four Giants All-Star pitchers. That shows what group of

    LOS ANGELES Dirk Nowitzki and his teammates were feeling so good, they broke out in another rendition of We are the Champions. It was denitely a fun night to be a member of the Dallas Mavericks. Nowitzki picked up a pair of trophies, including male athlete of the year, and the Mavericks were chosen as the best team Wednesday night at the ESPY Awards. Nowitzki also won best NBA player during ESPNs live telecast from the Nokia Theatre. Rick Carlisle was named best coach for leading the Mavericks to the NBA championship. Ive got to tell you, any party where Dirk is singing We are the Champions is just the best party ever, Dallas owner Mark Cuban told reporters of the Mavs celebration in South Beach. Nowitzki, who was the MVP of the NBA nals, is the rst NBA player to be named top male athlete since Michael Jordan in 1993. Also nominated for the award were Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, five-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson and tennis star Rafael Nadal, who each won awards in other categories.

    guys we have and what kind of team we have. Were not always banking on one guy to pick everyone up. That really works out well. While it can be easy to pick at the Giants shortcomings, its hard to argue with the end results. A year ago, they were in fourth place in the division and four games behind the rst-place Padres. Now they have a three-game lead over a young Arizona team and are 8 1/2 games ahead of banged-up Colorado. Whether San Francisco could make another deep playoff run with such little scoring punch remains a mystery. The Giants are the only team in

    the majors without a player with at least 10 home runs and are in desperate need of some power. General manager Brian Sabean will surely try to rekindle his magic moves from a year ago, when lateseason pickups Cody Ross and Pat Burrell turned into postseason stars. Otherwise it will be all on the pitchers to the carry the club again. Its hard to ask this pitching to keep doing what its doing, Bochy said. The guys are relentless, resilient. They fight every day. Thats what well need in the second half. Its going to be a tight race. Its all about having the will. These guys show it every day.

    Qatar eyes World Cup


    FRIBOURG, Switzerland Milovan Rajevac wants to be first coach to lead Qatar to the World Cup. The Serbian has a difficult mission in trying to give the wealthy 2022 World Cup host credibility on the field to match its status in soccer politics. Hired in February, Rajevacs task begins next week when the 94th-ranked Qataris start their qualification road to Brazil 2014 with an preliminary-round tie against Vietnam. Rajevac will be richly rewarded for success although his 3 1/2-year contract could mean little if Qatar is eliminated in the twoleg series before the main draw is even announced July 30. However, he told The Associated Press he is motivated by making history, not money. That is the most important thing, the greatest satisfaction. This is something that you cannot buy, Rajevac said Tuesday through a translator after his teams final match of a brief European training camp. Last year, Rajevacs Ghana team eliminated the United States in the second round and nearly became the first African team to reach a World Cup semifinal. That performance enhanced Rajevacs reputation just five years after he was an assistant at Doha club Al Sadd when the Qatari league was an outpost sprinkled with aging stars. Rajevac said he was thrilled to come back to Qatar because of its special place in soccers new world order. That is why were trying to build a team for the future. You try to do everything according to a plan. That plan includes Qatar reaching a World Cup on merit, in its 10th attempt since first entering for the 1978 event. It qualifies automatically for the 2022 tournament as host. Qatar has two chances left, but the relaxed coach said hes not under stress. Theres no additional pressure, Rajevac said. Football is like that, everything is pressure. You need to be very calm to do your work properly. We try to channel that pressure into a positive performance. In Europe this month, Qatar lost 3-0 to Swiss top-division side Lausanne, and 4-2 against Bayern Munich in Italy, before returning to Switzerland to draw 2-2 with Neuchatel Xamax. Rajevacs squad begins its 2014 World Cup quest on July 23. nities in the middle, Sundhage replaced Carli Lloyd with sparkplug Megan Rapinoe early in the second half, moved Lauren Cheney inside and pulled Wambach back to the mideld. The difference was noticeable immediately. The Americans were able to push forward and began threatening French goalkeeper Berangere Sapowicz. Finally, in the 79th, the Americans won a corner kick. I told (Cheney) at halftime, Put the ball to the back post, and were going to get a goal, Wambach said. Cheney delivered the ball perfectly to the far post and, just as Wambach had predicted, she soared over the scrum and pushed the ball past Sapowicz. I knew Abby was going to beat her, Cheney said, referring to the French defender who practically mugged Wambach to try and contain her. Asked how, Cheney said, Because shes Abby Wambach. Wambach let out a scream and did a sliding sprint into the corner, where she was mobbed by her teammates. It was her third goal of the tournament and 12th of her career, tying fellow American Michelle Akers for third on the all-time World Cup scoring list. Morgan then put the game out of reach, outracing four defenders and then stutter-stepping in front of the goal, throwing Sapowicz off and leaving the American with a wideopen shot.

    Japan upsets Sweden

    FRANKFURT, Germany Homare Sawa made up for a huge error by scoring the goahead goal and Japan advanced to the World Cup nal with a 3-1 victory over Sweden on Wednesday. Surprise call-up Nahomi Kawasumi had two goals for Japan, which will face the United States in Sundays championship. Its the rst World Cup nal for the rising soccer power. Josene Oqvist scored for Sweden, which allowed three unanswered goals. In a battle of Japans ne skills against the thrust and hustle of Sweden, the match turned in the second half when Kawasumi caught Hedvig Lindahl off her line and lobbed it over her from about 110 feet away for the nal score, one of the best in a tour-

    nament full of excellent strikes. The Japanese players always had more on their minds than their next game in the marquee event for womens soccer. In the wake of the March 11 tsunami and earthquake, they wanted to provide a feel-good story for fans back home. And they came through. Following their latest win, they again unfurled a huge banner that said To our Friends Around the World Thank You for Your Support, referring to the global outpouring of aid after the tsunami, that left nearly 23,000 dead or missing. When Japan faced favored Germany in the quarterfinals, coach Norio Sasaki showed her players heart-tugging pictures from the victims of the tsunami shortly before the game to give them more resolve.

    Ex-QBs group to build hotel near 49ers stadium


    SANTA CLARA, Calif. Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montanas business group has been given the go-ahead to lease land in California for a luxury hotel project. The Santa Clara City Council voted 5-1 on Tuesday to enter exclusive negotiations with the Hall of Famers business group, which wants to lease land across the street from the site of the 49ers planned stadium. Councilwoman Lisa Gillmor told the San Jose Mercury News that Montana and former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo have star power that will be invaluable to the projects success. City Manager Jennifer Sparacino says the city should put the project out for a bid, which would elicit a better price and different project ideas.

    Manning, Brees: Its time for NFL deal


    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    NEW YORK Calling the players offer fair for both sides, star quarterbacks Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees plaintiffs in an antitrust suit against the NFL said Wednesday it is time to wrap up negotiations on a deal to end the leagues lockout. Brady, Manning and Brees spoke as a group publicly for the rst time with talks in a critical phase, four months into the leagues rst work stoppage since 1987. Players and owners met Wednesday morning at a
    THU FRI

    Manhattan law ofce for the latest round of discussions. Talks continued into the afternoon. Deadlines are coming up next week to get training camps and the preseason started on time. Although it seems the sides have agreed on the basic elements of how to split more than $9 billion in annual revenues, among the key sticking points recently have been how to structure a new rookie salary system and what free agency will look like. In a statement released to The Associated Press via the NFL Players Association, New Englands Brady,
    SAT SUN MON TUE WED

    Indianapolis Manning and New Orleans Brees said: We believe the overall proposal made by the players is fair for both sides and it is time to get this deal done. They continued: This is the time of year we as players turn our attention to the game on the eld. We hope the owners feel the same way. In response, the NFL issued a statement saying: We share the view that now is the time to reach an agreement so we can all get back to football and a full 2011 season. We are working hard with the players negotiating team every day to complete an agree-

    ment as soon as possible. Brady, Manning and Brees are among 10 players who are named plaintiffs in an antitrust suit that is pending in federal court in Minnesota. That class-action lawsuit was led March 11, hours after federally mediated negotiations to arrive at a new collective bargaining agreement broke down, and the old labor contract expired. The NFLPA immediately dissolved itself, meaning players no longer were protected under labor law but instead were allowed to take their chances under antitrust law.

But he also included a link to his stats from last season, which show he didnt have a pattern of fumbling. Of the quarterbacks two interceptions, Harrison says: Hey, at least throw a pick on their side of the eld instead of asking the D to bail you out again. Or hand the ball off and stop trying to act like Peyton Manning. You aint that and you know it, man; you just get paid like he does. Steelers President Art Rooney II said in a statement that he hadnt seen the article or talked to Harrison. We will discuss the situation at the appropriate time, when permitted once the labor situation is resolved, he said. Harrison also questions whether a black player is punished more for a hard hit on a white player than the opposite. Beyond the insults, Harrison makes some serious points about what he believes are the leagues misguided attempts to increase safety.

    Maximize space with vertical gardening


    By Sarah Wolfe
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    Big on ideas but short on space? Maximize your yards potential by growing up not out with vertical gardening. Long a staple in Europe, vertical gardening is blooming among U.S. landscapers, designers and home gardeners looking to transform skinny side yards, bitty balconies and cramped courtyards into living, breathing masterpieces. People are trying to maximize every square inch of their property, and more and more people have smaller properties or just a balcony or courtyard, but they still want to have a garden, says Rebecca Sweet, coauthor with Susan Morrison of Garden Up! Smart Vertical Gardening for Small and Large Spaces (Cool Springs Press, 2011). The options are endless. Arbors, trellises, lattice frames, fabric pockets, trellises and obelisks, along with unorthodox methods and materials, such as rebar and even old ling cabinets. But dont be daunted. Vertical gardening is surprisingly beginner-friendly, and experts say supplies are cheap and easy to nd at big-box stores like Lowes and Home Depot. Sweet, of Los Altos,Calif., and retired horticulturist Tina Aur of

    Memphis, Tenn., break down the main elements of vertical gardening and offer tips to get your green thumb in gear this summer.

    you have, Aur says. You dont just grow something up, you grow something out of it.

    Living Walls
    The trendiest vertical gardening technique is living walls fences, patio walls or other surfaces covered in plants, owers, succulents, even fruits and vegetables. There are two main ways to do this, Sweet says. The rst involves modular, mountable tray planters, and the second uses breathable fabric pockets that can be hung on a wall. Sweet suggests starting small with one pocket garden from a manufacturer like Woolly Pockets ($39) that will hold three or four plants. Hang it along a wall or fence that gets partial sun to avoid drying out the smaller amount of soil. Instead of flowers, consider planting herbs or vegetables, Sweet says. Mixing trailing herbs like thyme and oregano with upright red and green lettuces will not only look great, but because your garden will be off the ground, youll have fewer problems with pests. Succulents, which dont need as much soil, work better in tray systems because they need better irrigation than the pockets provide, she says.

    Skinny Spaces
    Awkward side yards and other skinny spaces often turn into dumping grounds for toys, old barbecues and other oddities, particularly in the city. Uneven lighting and lack of soil can make these areas challenging for growing. But Sweet says she has yet to meet the bed that is so skinny you cant plant in it, and suggests layering to create a lush look. The top or back layer is the backbone of any vertical bed. Sweet suggests vines easily trained to grow at against a wall like black-eyed susan and clematis, or vase-shaped shrubs and trees like boxleaf azara and flowering maple that allow plenty of room for planting below. The middle layer should feature perennials with tall, delicate ower stalks, or nely textured ornamental grasses such as owering tobacco, vervain, Scotch heather and yarrow. By choosing plants that can be seen through, your skinny space will appear larger and more lush than it really is, Sweet says. Small-scale grasses, ground-hugging shrubs and compact perennials anchor the bottom layer, she says.

    Living wallsare a great way to add a interesting visual element to smaller areas.Flowers,herbs,vegetables and succulents can all be used.

    Arbors/Trellises
    Aur prefers to train plants and owers to wrap around lattices, arbors, trellises and other frameworks to give her small gardens more vertical structure and shape. She uses a combination of Italian cypress trees and trellises coated with clematis vines to create a cozy, outdoor room in her back yard. Aur bought the iron trellises at Lowes, and under-plants them with roses, columbines, irises and other perennials to take full advantage of the space through layering.

    She grows vines on vinyl-coated wire available at hardware and some big-box stores, and hooks the wire onto fences, making it easy to take down for painting or repairs. Aur also uses the technique with vegetables, using elderberry sticks in stainless steel tubs bought at Home Depot to grow early-season sweet peas with later-producing cantaloupes. She grows cucumbers up a trellis on the back of her greenhouse and under-plants whatever is growing up the poles with strawberries. You try to use every inch of space

    Catch and hold on to enough water for plants


    By Lee Reich
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    Rain. During an entire year, a meager three-hundredths of an inch falls on Arica, Chile, while halfway across the Pacic, in the Hawaiian Archipelago, Mount Waialeale receives a sopping 460 inches. Much of the eastern United States provides a congenial climate for many garden plants during the growing season, averaging 4 inches of rainfall a month throughout the year. That would seem to complement nicely the inch of water per week recommended for most garden plants. Four inches of rainfall a month is more than enough water to supply the 33 gallons used by a tomato plant, the 54 gallons needed by a corn plant, even the 1,800 gallons quaffed by a single large apple tree. So much for theory. Problem is, whether youre in the humid Northeast or the drier West, rain does not always fall in the right place at the right time from a plants point of view. Four inches of rain dumped from the sky on the Fourth of July, with

    none again until the rst of August, would meet Julys quota. But much of it might run off the surface of the soil or down through the soil beyond the reach of roots. Plants could be thirsty again by the middle of July. One way to remedy this feast-orfamine situation is to help all water falling from the sky get into the soil. Small catchbasins built up around individual trees and shrubs keep rainfall in place, containing the water long enough for it to slowly seep into the ground. Organic mulches such as straw, compost, wood chips and leaves prevent raindrops from pounding then sealing the soil surface, and thus help water percolate into the soil. Once water is in the ground, those organic materials also help hold it there. As mulches, they help by preventing evaporation from the soil surface. Mixed into the soil, these organic materials act like a sponge to cling to water for later use by plants. Once you have gotten water into the soil and held there, why waste it on weeds? A full-grown ragweed plant sucks about 2 gallons of water per day from the soil, water that could be plumping up juicy, red

    Mulch can be used to keep water from evaporating too quickly,while drip irrigation can target water plants,which uses less water.
    tomatoes. Timely weeding keeps water in the soil for the plants we choose to cultivate. Yet for all your water conservation efforts, sometimes you just gotta water your plants. Choose from one of two approaches: Water either deeply and infrequently with a sprinkler or bucket; or water lightly and frequently with so-called drip irrigation. Either way, the average amount of water needed translates to that same 1 inch (about a half-gallon per square foot) applied once each week with a sprinkler or bucket, or 1/7th

    of an inch applied every day or spread throughout each day with drip irrigation. Drip irrigation is easily automated with the use of a battery-powered timer at the spigot. When your time or energy is running short often the case when hand watering and using sprinklers you might want to do triage: First, care for those plants that need water the most. The rst plants to suffer from thirst are annual owers, and leafy vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, and cabbage, as well as any perennials or trees you set out just this spring. Roots of full-grown trees and shrubs run deep into the soil, so these plants can wait longest for water. Roots of perennial owers, and vegetables like asparagus, beans, peas, cucumbers, melons and tomatoes, also can tap moisture a few feet down in the soil. Lawns tolerate drought by going semi-dormant and tawny, then perk up when moist conditions return. Writing about a lack of water is like doing a rain dance. As you read this, your garden plants may have just drunk in a deep, summer shower.

    Ceiling fans reduce energy costs year round


    By Carole Feldman
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    Conjure up an image of vacationers sitting on a verandah at a tropical resort, a ceiling fan rotating overhead and supplementing the cooling effect of the ocean breezes. Well, you dont have to go to the tropics to realize the benets or create the ambiance of ceiling fans. They can provide an energy-efcient supplement to air conditioning during these hot summer months. The concept is simple. If you use a ceiling fan, you can raise your thermostat and still get the same cooling effect. That means lower electric bills in the long run. Ceiling fans work by creating a wind-chill effect. As in winter, when the wind makes it feel colder outside, so the wind or motion created by ceiling fans makes you feel cooler in the summer. Ceiling fans dont cool the room, they cool you, said Maria Vargas, spokeswoman and brand manager for Energy Star, the government program designed to promote energy efficiency. Raising the thermostat by 2 degrees and using a ceiling fan can cut energy costs by about 14 percent over the course of a season, Vargas said. That makes them a good, low-cost supplement to air conditioning. Jeremy Tarr, director of marketing for Hunter Fan Co., says the energy cost of running a ceiling fan is similar to that of running a standard incandescent light bulb. You can save much more by raising the thermostat, he said. Some studies have shown that people can move their thermostats up 4 to 6 degrees and not perceive any real difference if theyre using a ceiling fan, Tarr said. Saving money is something that has never

    Ceiling fans can help circulate cooler air in the summer and in the winter, by reversing the direction of the spin,can help warm an area.
    gone out of style, said John Reeve, manager of Dans Fan City in Rockville, Md. But, hes quick to add, thats not the only reason people buy ceiling fans. Its energy efcient and some people like the feeling of air movement, he said. It takes the stufness out of a room. It could add to the decor. By adding some motion to a room, Tarr said, fans add a little bit of character. The cost of a fan depends on the options. At Dans Fan City, fans range from the simplest model, costing about $40, to builder grade fans with a price tag of $3,000. Reeve said consumers should plan to spend $100 to $250 for a fan. A light kit adds to the cost. The company has locations in seven states, most in the Southeast. Vargas said ceiling fans have been popular in that region, as well as in the Southwest. We have also heard from a few manufacturers that there is a growing trend in the usage of ceiling fans in the northeast part of the country, especially in the winter, as a means to reduce electric bills by driving heat down, she said. Most ceiling fans are reversible. During the summer, the blades should move counterclockwise as you look up at the fan, creating a wind chill. In winter months, they should move clockwise. That helps bring the hot air down from the ceiling and even out the heat-

    ing. Hunter Fan Co. says you can save 15 percent on your winter heating costs by lowering your thermostat 4 degrees and using a ceiling fan. Whats the ideal spot for a ceiling fan? Many people install them in bedrooms or great rooms. A lot of folks put fans in kitchens and eating areas, Reeve said. Anywhere you have a ceiling you can have a fan. When you go to buy a fan, youll need to know more than just what style you like. Consider the size of the room, Tarr said. For a larger bedroom, go with a 52-inch fan. For a great room, a 60- or 70-inch fan would work best. For smaller rooms, a 44- or 42-inch fan may be just ne, he said. The measurement refers to the length of the blades. There also are different motor sizes. You need a fan with a properly sized motor to get an efcient air ow, Tarr said. When you leave a room, turn the fan off to get the maximum energy efciency. Unlike an air conditioner, the wind-chill effect produced by the ceiling fan is immediate. You dont lose anything by turning it off when youre not there. The energy savings can be even greater if your fan is certied by Energy Star. Although savings depend on the amount of use and the climate, Vargas said Energy Star fans are about 50 percent more efcient than conventional ones, leading to savings of about $25 a year. In 2009, however, these fans cost about $80 more than a conventional one. Energy Star and Hunter Fan also recommend using a programmable thermostat to automatically adjust the temperature during waking hours, or when you are away or sleeping.

    If youve ever carted home some unfortunate monstrosity from a beach vacation and rued it, take heart. Thats not the kind of beach decor were talking about here. This summer, retailers are offering decor that evokes the sand and surf, but with a sophistication that makes it work as a seasonal accent to most rooms no matter what your decorating style. Wisteria has some lovely wall art: colonial nautical charts in sea blue with white type. Fantastic in a contemporary space, the historical ambiance of the pieces would work equally well in a more traditional room. An ivory linen pillow embellished with a spiny-nned sh in navy blue

    strikes a chic and exotic note. And a wood and metal tree for votive holders, crafted to look like a frond of coral, would provide interest on a summer dinner table. Get creative when hunting for something interesting and seasonal; often, youll nd it at a store you might not usually go to. PBTeen has a host of quirky yet delightful items that evoke the theme: a tabletop angel sh fashioned from driftwood bits; wire art, including jaunty starsh hooks; a mountable sharks head whose toothy maw can be used as a receptacle for beach hats, dog leashes and so on.

    Mission streets in the city. That trial began in April in the court of U.S. District Judge William Alsup and is expected to continue into August. But in February, Acosta told a federal prosecutor and immigration agents for the rst time that he had taken part in eight gang-related murders in Honduras in 2003 and 2004, participating directly in ve and arranging for three others. Acosta had not previously disclosed those murders to his handlers, despite repeatedly having been asked to reveal previous acts of violence, according to a trial brief led by prosecutors. Prosecutors then cancelled plans to use Acosta as a witness. On March 29, a week before the gang trial began, they obtained a grand jury indictment accusing him of lying. Acostas failure to disclose his participation in the eight murders, despite repeated questions about the same, form the basis of the charge against him, Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine Wong wrote in the trial brief led this month. Wong said Acosta was responsible for overseeing the gangs Honduran drug distribution operations at the time of the slayings and was ordered by gang leaders to carry out the killings. Acostas trial took two days. He is in custody while awaiting sentencing. Acostas defense attorney, Elena Condes, could not be reached for comment Wednesday. The seven defendants in Alsups court are among about three dozen MS-13 gang members who were indicted in four successive indictments in 2008 and 2009. About 18 others pleaded guilty to various charges and some became witnesses at the trial. The 20th Street Cliques racketeering, or operation of a continuing criminal enterprise, is alleged to have included murder, attempted murder, assault, drug dealing, extortion, robbery and car theft Three defendants Erick Spooky Lopez, Jonathan Soldado Cruz Ramirez and Guillermo Shorty Herrera are specically charged with four gunshot murders carried out on San Francisco streets in 2008. As part of their defense strategy, attorneys for the seven men claim that Acosta and another informant, Salvadoran-born Jaime Martinez, induced gang members to engage in violent acts, in violation of Justice Department guidelines for informants. They also contend that Acosta caused young people to join the gang by encouraging them to let him tattoo them with the groups devils horns emblem, an irrevocable mark of gang membership. days. The San Mateo Union High School District begins Tuesday, Aug. 16, for example, while the Millbrae Elementary School District begins Tuesday, Sept. 6. California requires immunizations, which covers whooping cough, before entering kindergarten. Most children need another FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have denied those claims during their testimony. On the witness stand on Tuesday, ICE agent Chris Merendino, who was a handler for both Acosta and Martinez, said he told Acosta that he should not offer to tattoo anyone, but that it was all right to do so if someone asked Acosta to inscribe the gang emblem. We instructed him that if he wasnt offering tattoos, it was OK to be solicited and to provide them. We just told him that he shouldnt offer or recommend tattoos, Merendino said. The agent added, We did ask him to take photos of any tattoos he administered, for use as possible future evidence. In further testimony today, Merendino said he did not know of Acostas participation in the eight Honduran murders until another agent told him about the revelation in February. He said he was told that Acostas unexpected disclosure at a debrieng session was unsolicited, impromptu. Merendino said ICE agents who were considering using Acosta as an informant had tried to check on his criminal background by looking through FBI and police databases and by asking a U.S. attachi in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, to work with police there to investigate his record.

The defense attorneys have asked Alsup to allow them to argue to the jury that the men were illegally entrapped or induced by the informants, acting as government agents, to participate in crimes. Prosecutors have denied there was any inducement, which they say is legally dened as occurring only when there is repeated solicitation by a government agent and an initial reluctance by a defendant to commit the crime. There is absolutely zero record of inducement here, Assistant U.S. Attorney William Frentzen told Alsup on Tuesday. In a brief led on Monday, prosecutors argued, Every defendant can be shown to be predisposed to commit the alleged crimes. It is undisputed on the record that MS-13 was a violent gang and that the main rule of the gang was the commission of violence against rivals, the prosecutors wrote.

    market value for their homes if they decide to sell before the project gets under way and others simply want to live out their lives in peace, free from the specter they will be required to give up their homes for the rail project. Whatever the case, Ross wants to make sure these property owners are not short shrifted by the state. Currently, real estate agents are required to disclose to potential buyers the authoritys intent to use the Caltrain corridor for its trains. But they simply have to refer potential buyers to check out the authoritys website for information on the project, Ross said. The authoritys website, however, has little detail on what the design will ultimately be on the Peninsula other than an alternatives analysis report released last year that shows primarily four tracks running on an aerial viaduct for the Peninsula. Ross wants to at least make sure property owners are not forced to sell in a down market. He is also concerned by Caltrain installing micro-pilings at the four bridges that seems to be contrary to the citys wish to have the tracks be buried underground in the area, likely in an open and partially covered trench. The rail authoritys Van Ark has directed HNTB, the rm hired to design the local system, to reduce its activities to a minimum on the Peninsula and cease any further work on completing the San Francisco to San Jose project-level draft environmental impact report. The full buildout of the system calls for a four-track system high-speed trains will share with Caltrain that early designs have shown to be mostly elevated on the offense; recovery of a rearm from a suspect during a criminal arrest; citations of 27 drivers for driving with suspended licenses; citations of 166 drivers for driving without a license; and the towing or impounding of 181 cars, according to the report. Funding has also covered 30 saturation patrols, which include ofcers driving throughout the city looking for impaired drivers. From these efforts, 22 drivers were arrested for DUI; 15 drivers were arrested for various criminal offenses; one suspect was arrested for a felony sex crime/domestic violence; 14 drivers were issued citations for driving with suspended licenses; 36 drivers were cited for not having a license; and 21 vehicles were towed or impounded. South San Francisco police also completed ve warrant service operations for people with outstanding DUI warrants, resulting in the arrest of 13 suspects. But Republicans have not been willing to support additional taxes. Californias senior Republican ofcial in Congress is U.S. Rep. David Dreier, who told the Daily Journal yesterday that the debt ceiling should be raised. While I believe we cannot fail to increase the debt ceiling and meet our nancial obligations, I also believe it is critical that we reduce the size and scope of the federal government and get our debt under control, said Dreier, R-San Dimas. The ultimate goal should be job creation and getting Americans back to work, he said. Republicans have called for deep cuts to Medicare and even Social Security, two items Speier and U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, said should not be a part of any vote on raising the debt ceiling. Social Security has nothing to do with the national debt, both contend, and should not be a part of any discussions on reducing the debt. Eshoo said she is willing to discuss Medicare cost savings but not as part of drooped below his boxer shorts and a crew member asked him to pull them up.

    their investments will ever pay off with the uncertainty over the rails alignment. The rail authoritys decision comes as Caltrain is reinforcing four 100-year-old bridges in San Mateo that are also being tted with micro-pilings that can one day accommodate a larger aerial four-track system from downtown north to Burlingame. The $2.4 million project will keep the bridges in a state-of-good repair until they are replaced, possibly as part of the highspeed rail project, according to Caltrain. San Mateo ofcials have given early indication, however, that the tracks should be suppressed or buried from downtown going north since the corridor is so narrow. San Mateo Councilman Robert Ross was unaware of the extent of Caltrains work until he took a walking tour of the neighborhood Tuesday with the Daily Journal to discuss the potential of eminent domain for properties running along the east side of the corridor north of downtown. Ross is a real estate agent and former police ofcer who has stood up previously in defense of homeowners along the corridor who face uncertainty with the states $43 billion rail project.

    Peninsula. In April, U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, and Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, urged the authority to ditch the full buildout of the system in favor of a greatly scaled-back blended system that would keep property takings to a minimum as high-speed trains would essentially share Caltrains current two-track system. The three also called for the authority to scrap plans for an aerial viaduct entirely. Eshoo, Simitian and Gordon want to modernize the Caltrain corridor to accommodate high-speed trains that will be limited to the corridors existing right-of-way. This plan will greatly reduce the need for the authority to use eminent domain to take properties for the project. Their plan, however, will not allow as many high-speed trains to travel into San Francisco, where the most riders and revenue are. But Gordon said a blended system could get high-speed trains into San Francisco quicker and cheaper than the full buildout of the system. A blended system will allow high-speed ridership to rst build up before any additional infrastructure is built up, Gordon said. If the need doesnt exist then there will be no need to spend the money on infrastructure, Gordon said. The blended system plan could save taxpayers more than $5 billion on the Peninsula alone compared to the cost of a four-track system. Voters approved a $9 billion bond measure, Proposition 1A, back in November 2008 to fund the project from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Lastly, the department completed three repeat offender stakeout operations resulting in the arrest or citation of four people for driving with a suspended license. Comparing the statistics from 2006 through 2008 to the years in which grant money was used, the city saw a 60 percent drop in total trafc fatalities. There was also a 26 percent decrease in alcohol-involved injury collisions, a 100 percent decrease in hit-and-run fatalities; and a 24 percent decrease in hit-and-run injury collisions. The department has more than two months in the most recent annual grant funding period. During that time, it plans to hold three DUI and drivers license checkpoints; three DUI saturation patrols; one DUI and motorcycle safety enforcement saturation patrol; and one DUI warrant service operation. debt ceiling negotiations. The debt ballooned in part, Speier said, because of tax cuts extended to the wealthiest Americans under the Bush administration. We spend money on giveaways for the wealthiest and we cant afford it, Speier said. The debt ceiling could be raised incrementally, without Republican support, if negotiations fail on reducing the decit. The consequences of not raising the debt ceiling by Aug. 2 could lead to more layoffs, interest rate hikes and higher mortgages and signicant losses to pension funds, Speier said. Republicans are gambling with the countrys economic strength, she said. Last night, negotiations at the White House ended early as Obama indicated to Republican ofcials that he wants the deal done now. Obama reportedly said enough is enough with respect to delay and refusal to compromise by Republicans, a White House ofcial said. On Sunday, Obama said he wanted a deal on the debt ceiling in 10 days. lied outside San Francisco City Hall and called on the Board of Supervisors to ask the Federal Aviation Administration to investigate the encounter.

    This is about winning the presidency, Speier said. If unemployment remains high and the economy poor, Republicans think they may be able to recapture the presidency in 2012. They are putting party before country. Meanwhile, Moodys Investors Services said yesterday it is putting the sterling bond rating of the United States on review for a possible downgrade. The United States has a AAA rating, making U.S. Treasury bonds one of the safest bets for investors. That could change, however, if the country defaults on any of its loan payments. Much of the debt, Speier said, is related to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that started piling up under the Bush administration. To reduce the decit, Obama offered $3 trillion in cuts to federal programs while raising $1 trillion new taxes.

    You could finally be in a position in the next year to achieve the harmony and balance youve been hoping to find in your life. Once you feel youve accomplished this goal, youll be able to relax and just be yourself.
    CaNCEr (June 21-July 22) -- Hold off on making any

    important agreements with another. The aspects are such that, although people mean well, it isnt likely they would stand the test of time. lEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- People in general tend to want to shift their burdens onto someone else, so if

    anybody thinks youre an easy mark, this person will try to dump his or her work in your lap. Dont be had. VIrGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Depending too heavily on Lady Luck instead of your own abilities will guarantee you to fail at whatever it is youre trying to pull off. Avoid getting involved in anything chancy. lIBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Dont be unduly awed by titles or trappings. Just because someone has a title doesnt necessary make him or her bigger than life. It only defines the job the person is assigned to do. sCOrPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- For the sake of peace, dont let yourself be drawn into a debate with someone who loves to argue. Once this person gets started, you wont be able to turn him or her off. saGITTarIus (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Its wise to abide by your instincts and perceptions about participating

    in any kind of financial debate with someone who always thinks he or she is right. Itll be a lost cause. CaPrICOrN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Underestimating the competition is always a mistake. Thus, regardless of how inept you think someone is, take him or her seriously. This person might know something to which youre not privy. aQuarIus (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Think twice before absentmindedly being unrealistically generous to someone who doesnt deserve it. Theres a good chance that on impulse youll give away something youll regret. PIsCEs (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you have a choice, avoid any gathering where someone who makes you feel uncomfortable is likely to be in attendance. You wont have any fun being miserable.

    ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It would be best not to depend on another to do something for you that you know the person really doesnt want to do. She or he will either do a bad job or totally let you down. Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Dont try to impose your views on someone who you know will be unreceptive to what you have to say. All youll accomplish is making this person stand even firmer in his or her beliefs. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The handling of your resources isnt likely to be your strong suit today, so it behooves you to be as prudent as you can. Additionally, it would be wise not to offer any financial advice. Copyright 2011, United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

    Trio of bombs kill 21,wound 141 in India


    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    MUMBAI, India Three coordinated bombings tore through the heart of Indias busy nancial capital during rush hour Wednesday, killing 21 people and wounding 141 in the worst terror attack in the country since the 2008 Mumbai siege. Bloody bodies were strewn in the dirt of Mumbais crowded neighborhoods and markets. Doors were ripped off storefronts, motorcycles were charred and a bus stop was shredded. After the blasts in three separate neighborhoods, police set up checkpoints and were put on high alert. The bombings came just months after peace talks resumed between India and Pakistan, which New Delhi has blamed for past attacks. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh condemned the blasts and appealed

    to the people of Mumbai to remain calm and show a united face. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, and Indian ofcials refused to speculate on who might be behind the blasts. Indian officials have accused Pakistans powerful spy agency of helping coordinate and fund earlier attacks, including the Mumbai siege, which killed 166 people over three days. Peace talks between the countries were suspended after the siege and resumed only recently. Pakistans government expressed distress about the loss of lives and injuries soon after Wednesdays blasts were reported. U.S. President Barack Obama also condemned the outrageous attacks. The American people will stand with the Indian people in times of trial, and we will offer support to Indias efforts to bring the perpetrators of these terrible crimes to jus-

    tice, he said in a statement. I have no doubt that India will overcome these deplorable terrorist attacks. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said she will go ahead with her plans to visit India next week despite the bombings. Standing with India is more important than ever, she said. The bombings began with an explosion that ripped through the famed Jhaveri Bazaar jewelry market at 6:54 p.m. A minute later, a blast hit the busy business district of Opera House, several miles (kilometers) away in southern Mumbai. At 7:05 p.m., the third bomb exploded in the crowded neighborhood of Dadar in central Mumbai, according to police. Because of the close timing of the blasts, we infer that this was a coordinated attack by terrorists, Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said.

    U.S. begins drawdown of troops from Afghanistan
    BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan The rst troops to leave Afghanistan as part of the U.S. drawdown handed over their slice of battleeld Wednesday to a unit less than half their size and started packing for home. When the 650 members of the Iowa National Guards 1st Squadron, 113th Cavalry Regiment arrived in Afghanistan in November 2010, bases didnt have enough housing, translators were in short supply and chow halls were packed. Commanders were using a buildup of 33,000 extra troops for a major push that they said would turn the tide of the war against the Taliban insurgency. Nine months later, its still unclear if that push has succeeded, but the pullback has begun. Although major combat units are not expected to start leaving until late fall, two National Guard regiments comprising about 1,000 soldiers in all are withdrawing this month the Iowa soldiers from Parwan province in eastern Afghanistan, and the other group from the capital, Kabul. U.S. President Barack Obama announced last month that he would pull 10,000 of the extra troops out in 2011 and the remaining 23,000 by the summer of 2012.

    Murdoch drops bid for British Sky Broadcasting


    LONDON Rupert Murdochs dream of controlling a British broadcasting behemoth evaporated Wednesday as he withdrew his bid for BSkyB the latest, biggest casualty of what Prime Minister David Cameron called the hacking restorm sweeping through British politics, media and police. Cameron appointed a senior judge to lead an inquiry into the phone hacking and police bribery scandal engulng Murdochs British newspapers, and promised it would investigate whether Murdochs reporters sought the phone numbers of 9/11 victims in their quest for sensational scoops. There is a restorm, if you like, that is engulng parts of the media, parts of the police, and indeed our political systems ability to respond, Cameron said Wednesday in the House of Commons. What we must do in the coming days and weeks is think above all of the victims ... to make doubly sure that we get to the bottom of this and that we prosecute those who are responsible, he said. As lawmakers from all the countrys main parties united to demand that Murdochs News Corp. withdraw its bid for British Sky Broadcasting, the media magnate bowed to the inevitable, accepting that he could not win government approval for the multibillion dollar takeover.

    Israeli leader defends contentious boycott law


    JERUSALEM Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday defended a contentious new law targeting local boycotts of West Bank settlements, as the issue escalated into a battle over the limits of Israeli democracy. Supporters say the law is needed to counter what they consider delegitimization of Israels very existence. Critics say it is a violation of the basic right of free speech and part of a chilling trend by the government to stie dissent. The law, approved Monday, allows settlers or settlementbased businesses to sue Israelis who promote settlement boycotts. Courts would determine whether a boycott caused nancial harm and if so, assess damages. Settlement-based companies produce items like wines and cheeses, and businesses operate factories, schools, supermarkets and bank branches in the West Bank. Netanyahu and most senior Cabinet ministers were absent during Mondays vote, raising speculation that he had misgivings about the legislation. During a heated parliamentary debate Wednesday, Netanyahu made clear he supported the measure.
