WASHINGTON Congress has reached a bipartisan compromise to end a two-week partial shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration that has idled tens of thousands of workers and cost the government about $30 million a day in uncollected airline ticket taxes, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said Thursday. The deal would allow the Senate to approve a House bill extending the FAAs operating authority through mid-September, including a provision that eliminates $16.5 million in air service subsidies to 13

rural communities. Passage of the bill is expected Friday. Senators have scattered for their August recess, but the measure can be approved if Harry Reid leaders from both parties agree to adopt it by unanimous consent. Republicans had insisted on the subsidy cuts as their price for restoring the FAA to full operation. But the cuts may become moot.

PLAISTOW, N.H. Police say an apparently remorseful thief who stole a womans wallet in a New Hampshire supermarket showed up at her door days later to return $90 and a GPS, and brought along an apology letter. The wallet was stolen from the 61-yearold womans cart on July 18 in Plaistow. Her wallet was found at a Massachusetts post ofce. Then on July 26, the victim heard a knock on her door. A man said he was sorry, returned her belongings, gave her the long letter and ed. Police say the thief probably found her address from something in her wallet.

Man arrested for cutting tree that floods home

PITTSBURGH A Pittsburgh man has been arrested after police say he cut down a city-owned tree, which the man claims contributes to basement ooding. Thirty-nine-year-old David Harper is charged with criminal mischief and possessing an instrument of crime - his neighbors chain saw. Police tell WTAE-TV that they charged Harper on Thursday after he cut the sidewalk tree nearly in half. Public works crews were called to cut the tree down after city ofcials determined it was unstable and could fall on someone. Online court records dont list an attorney for Harper, and the Associated Press could not locate a listed home phone for him. Police say Harper told them he hated the tree because it buckled the sidewalk, causing rain water to ow into his basement.

Teen buried on beach thought he would die

ORANGE A teenager who was buried in 6 feet of sand while digging a trench on a California beach said Thursday he was certain he would die and thought about his mother before lifeguards, paramedics and beachgoers dug him out in a frantic rescue caught on video. Matt Mina, 17, was visiting his aunt and uncle and was spending the day in Newport Beach with his older cousin and other friends when he decided to dig a 6foot pit and a trench that branched off to the side. The sand on the sides of the trench collapsed on him suddenly while the others in his group were nearby playing bocce ball, he told the Associated Press. As the sand pressed down on him, he wiggled his head to get a small pocket of air but then began to panic and lost consciousness after a few minutes. He realized no one could see what had happened because he had been hidden from view by the depth of the trench.

Extending community support

San Bruno elementary students hope to buy a tent for Somalian refugees
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Police reports
Dude, wheres my car?
A man reported that he lent his car to a woman three weeks ago and it still has not been returned on the 1500 block of Alturas Drive in Burlingame before 3:26 p.m. Friday, July 29.

A note from a San Bruno student

There is a war in Somalia.People are leaving the country.They dont have food or water because they are leaving in a hurry.They are very hungry and thirsty. They have no shelter because they are traveling across the desert.There has been a drought in Somalia for many years.This has been very bad for the people. As residents of San Bruno,we know what it is like to survive a disaster.Some of our homes were destroyed.We were so grateful for all of the people who helped. The Somali people do not have anyone helping them in their community.It is up the people outside of the country to help. It seems like not many people are really caring at the moment. As elementary,summer school students in San Bruno,we are trying to make a small
at Allen Elementary School to support those affected by the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Started as a class effort, it became a school campaign to raise money to help those in Haiti. Danny, 11, saw the earthquake on the news and wanted to help. The students reached out to friends and family through iers, emails and social networks. This time, the students are using a similar method to help those in Somalia. Seeing photos of those affected was emotional for students. Seven-year-old Athena was surprised to see children without water or food. Victor, 10, described the landscape as a different time similar to when dinosaurs roamed the earth but ran out of food.

Over the past year, children in San Bruno have witnessed a lot from a fatal neighborhood emergency to the outpouring of love and support of strangers. Its the latter thats given many children hope. So when Ross Moellers summer school class at Hesselgren Primary Center learned about the challenges of those in Somalia they were on board to help. Violence has created a nomadic culture in Somalia where people are homeless with limited access to food and water because of an ongoing drought. The seven-student classroom has a simple goal before the summer session ends Friday, Aug. 12 raise $200 to buy a family a tent. Given the explosion and re last year, students know what its like to see people be homeless. San Brunos ability to join together as a supportive community is also present, said Moeller. Maybe, by working together, the class could create that sense of community and support for those in Somalia, he said. When Moeller introduced information about Somalia, many of the children were not aware it was a country or where it was located. Tenyear-old Kevin correctly thought it was somewhere in Africa. Since starting the project, theyve had a chance to learn about geography, talk about math as it relates to generating donations and the impact raising those funds can make. I thought it was great, 11-year-old Bryan said about the idea. She continued I like to help people. Sometimes I see homeless people. There are lots of homeless people. This project would help homeless people. Two students had worked on a similar effort

difference.Our goal is to buy one tent using the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees website.We have created our group,and need to raise $200.Our class only has seven students, but we want to make a difference.We thought this project was a worthy one, and would make our summer school experience more worthwhile.We were hoping that each student would hand out the website address to their parents to send in their email to relatives and friends to raise money.By printing this in the paper we were hoping we could raise even more money for the drought victims. Please help so we raise a tent for these families. For more information visit the classwebsite http://www.myUNHCR.org/room6Allen.
Benjamin, 7, noted how poor people appeared to be. Everything learned led students to a desire to help. Their goal, to buy a single tent, comes with a cost of $200. The class has set up a website to collect donations. As of Thursday morning, $20 was raised. Students are hoping for community support. For more information visit the class website at http://www.myUNHCR.org/room6Allen.

on a $5 per applicant surcharge, bringing the sheriffs total to $39 per fingerprint request. The Sheriffs Office actually has the chance to bring in revenue through Greg Munks the fee increase, according to Munks report to the board, but how much is unclear because the number of fingerprint requests is in a downturn. The Sheriffs Office fingerprints and processes approximately 3,500 job applicants each year and has roughly 100 contracts with government, private and nonprofit employers. But the economic downturn also made the need decline, according to Munks who also points to alternative fingerprinting options like cities and the San Mateo County Office of Education as reasons he expects fewer requests of the Sheriffs Office this fiscal year. The drop is a turnaround from 10 years ago when the events of Sept. 11, 2001 led to an increase of security clearance requirements for both government and private jobs. State and federal legislation also added fingerprinting mandates for a growing list of jobs, particularly those involving children and the elderly. If approved, the new fee takes effect Oct. 1. The Board of Supervisors meets 9 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 8 in Board Chambers, 400 County Government Center, Redwood City. The public hearing on the fee increase ordinance is scheduled to begin at 9:15 a.m. Michelle Durand can be reached by e m a i l : michelle@smdailyjournal.com or by phone: (650) 344-5200 ext. 102.

Fingerprinting to get more expensive

By Michelle Durand DAILY JOURNAL STAFF When it comes to background checks, applicants better not be expecting a five-finger discount. Instead, the cost of printing all 10 fingers will more than double under a proposal coming to the Board of Supervisors Tuesday morning. Sheriff Greg Munks is asking the board to hike the existing $18 fee to $39 to fingerprint and process job applicants for which checks are required. The fee has been $18 for the last eight years but, in the last fiscal year, the Sheriffs Office hired MGT of America to study the charges. MGT recommended increasing the fee to $34 to fully cover costs of participating in the California Identification System which automated manual fingerprint files and created a statewide process of identifying latent prints. On May 23, the state board slapped

Third suspect arrested in connection with robbery of McDonalds worker
A man suspected of driving one of two cars involved in the robbery of a McDonalds employee in Palo Alto on Monday has been arrested in Redwood City, according to Palo Alto police. Members of the San Mateo County sheriffs Gang Task Force arrested Gerardo Yepez-Soto, 21, on Wednesday in connection with a robbery in the 500 block of South California Avenue on Monday. Yepez-Soto is believed to be the driver of a silver Honda Civic involved in the robbery. Police said he worked at the McDonalds with the victim. Shortly after 11 a.m. on Monday, the McDonalds employee was on her way from the business to a Wells Fargo bank to make a deposit of several thousand dollars, police said. As she neared the bank, a man walked up to her, grabbed her purse containing the money and ran to a waiting green Honda Accord. The Accord drove away followed by a silver Honda Civic, and an undercover detective responding to the robbery spotted both cars on Churchill Avenue, police said. The detective followed the cars until additional officers arrived. At one point, the cars went in different directions to evade police. The Civic was eventually pulled over at Greer Road and Tulip Lane. There, officers arrested 21-year-old Fabian Delgadillo. Officers stopped the Accord in the 500 block of Coleridge Avenue. The driver believed to be Yepez-Soto fled, but police arrested the passenger, identified as 20-year-old Ismael Aquino-Flores. Both were booked into Santa Clara County Jail on charges of conspiracy and robbery. All three suspects are residents of Redwood City.

Police release photos of murder suspects

By Rachel Purdy
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

East Palo Alto police released photographs Thursday of two suspects wanted for questioning in two murders last month in an attempt to nd the men and warn the public. Jaime Cardenas, 19, and Fidel Silva, 20, are wanted for questioning in connection with homicides on July 13 and July 19, police said. The two East Palo Alto residents are also suspects in two armed robberies and a triple shooting in Grand Junction, Colo., in which one person was killed and two others injured, police Chief Ron Davis said. Investigators believe that the two men were responsible for the death of 19year-old Catherine Fisher, who was shot while sitting in a parked car with another female and a male in the 2500 block of Annapolis Street at about 2:10 a.m. on

July 13, police said. The suspects approached the car and opened fire, killing the Menlo Park woman. Investigators believe the gunmen were targeting the male in the Jaime Cardenas car. Police suspect the men then traveled to Grand Junction, where Fuentes had a connection, acting Capt. Jeff Liu said. Grand Junction police said the men are suspects in an armed robbery at a cash advance business, a home burglary, an armed robbery at a liquor store and a fatal shooting. All of the crimes were committed on July 16. Detectives believe the two men returned to East Palo Alto, and were involved in the shooting of 26-year-old Hugo Chavez on July 19 at about 8:35

p.m. near 13 Camellia Court. Chavez, who had a brief conversation with the gunman before he was shot several times, was taken to a hospital where he died about four hours later. Fidel Silva Liu said he hopes that the photographs will provide new leads to nd Cardenas and Silva, while also warning the public to be wary of the two men. These guys are dangerous. We need to get them off the streets. We dont want them to hurt people, Liu said. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Cardenas and Silva can call the East Palo Alto Police Departments anonymous tip line at 8538477 or send a text message to (650) 409-7692.

Suspects steal mans money, hair during assault

Police are searching for a group of men who, during an assault and robbery of a Texas man Monday night, stole a chunk of the mans hair in addition to his personal property. The 34-year-old out-of-state tourist had been walking in the 100 block of Gateway Boulevard around 10 p.m. when he was assaulted by four to six men, police said. The suspects knocked the man, of Southlake, Texas, to the ground and stole his money. As he lay on the ground, one of the men produced a silver pocket knife, which he used to cut a clump of hair from the victims head, police said. The suspects, who are described as men in their early 30s who wore dark clothing, fled on foot. Anyone with information is asked to contact South San Francisco police at 877-8900.

Random killings in besieged Syrian city

BEIRUT The ashpoint Syrian city of Hama endured a fth day under military siege Thursday, with a resident saying people were being slaughtered like sheep in the streets and families were burying their dead in home gardens or roadsides rather than risk a trip to a cemetery. Food supplies grew short and residents shared bread, while phones, electricity and Internet were cut off or severely hampered. There was no ofcial count of the dead. One resident said around 250 people have been killed since Sunday. And a rights group that tracks death tallies reported up to 30 people were killed in Hama on Wednesday alone. The tolls could not be veried because of the difculty reaching residents and hospital ofcials in the besieged city, where journalists are barred as they are throughout Syria. One resident said he had seen gunmen in plainclothes randomly shooting people in the streets. People are being slaughtered like sheep while walking in the street, said the man, who spoke to the Associated Press by phone on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. I saw with my own eyes one young boy on a motorcycle who was carrying vegetables being run over by a tank. The assault on Hama, a center of the 5-month-old uprising against President Bashar Assads iron rule, is among the most ferocious in the governments effort to crush the rebellion and a sign of the Syrian leaders deance of growing international condemnation. The offensive began Sunday when Syrian security forces backed by tanks and snipers rolled into Hama in a erce campaign that left corpses in the streets and sent residents eeing for their lives.

The previous weeks gure was revised upward from 398,000 to 401,000. The four-week average, a less volatile gure, dropped for the fth straight week to 407,750. That suggests there is a downward trend in layoffs.

BLACKSBURG, Va. A report of a possible gunman at Virginia Tech on Thursday set off the longest, most extensive lockdown and search on campus since the bloodbath four years ago that led the university to overhaul its emergency procedures. No gunman was found, and the school gave the all-clear just before

3 p.m., about ve hours after sirens began wailing and students and staff members started receiving warnings by phone, email and text message to lock themselves Suspect indoors. Alerts were also posted on the universitys website and Twitter accounts.

JERUSALEM Israels military says Palestinian militants in Gaza have red a Grad rocket at southern Israel, and Israel retaliated with an airstrike. The military said the rocket exploded in an open area. No one was hurt. Israeli aircraft targeted the militants who fired the rocket late Thursday from eastern Gaza City. Palestinian hospital officials said

two people were wounded. Grad rockets have a longer range than the homemade rockets Gaza militants often fire at southern Israel. The Israelis charge that the Grads are smuggled into Gaza through tunnels under the border with Egypt. Rocket re has slowed to a relative trickle in recent months. Daily barrages of dozens of rockets from Gaza led to a large-scale Israeli military operation in Gaza in 2009.

WASHINGTON The Pentagon got nearly everything it asked for during a decade of two wars shadowed by the Sept. 11 terror attacks and the rise of al-Qaida. No more. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen acknowledged that reality Thursday, saying the military is resigned to budget cuts of around $350 billion over a decade to meet the public clamor for reducing the nations debt. But they

quickly warned that more than doubling those cuts along the lines of the doomsday mechanism spelled out in the new debt-limit law would undermine the military. If it happened and, God willing, that would not be the case but if it did happen, it would result in a further round of very dangerous cuts across the board, defense cuts that I believe would do real damage to our security, our troops and their families, and our militarys ability to protect the nation, Panetta told reporters at his rst Pentagon news conference.

Assembly needs to come clean on its records

The Sacramento Bee

Other voices
Assembly must approve Portantinos hires and budget. Additionally, Portantino has spent less this year than last year, largely because he lost staff after Pirez stripped him of a committee chairmanship after earlier ghts. Portantino insists he is frugal. To buttress his claim, Portantino led a request under the Legislative Open Records Act for detailed budget information about all 80 Assembly members and the Assemblys budget. The Bee and one of Portantinos hometown papers, the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, also requested Assembly spending information. As The Bees Jim Sanders wrote Monday, the Assembly is refusing to release current year spending records. The Assembly has determined that information about how Assembly members spend taxpayers money in the current year is not public information, but rather is the equivalent of preliminary drafts, notes or legislative memoranda. That is a stunning, though perhaps predictable, answer by individuals who write the laws. There is no more fundamental public

ts a basic tenet of the law that those who write the law shape the law for their benet. California legislators are quick to promise open government, so long as that promise does not extend to themselves. That has become obvious again, as Speaker John A. Pirez nds himself enmeshed in a ght in which his foe seeks what should be readily available records. Pirez and the Assembly leadership are punishing fellow Democratic Assemblyman Anthony Portantino of La Caqada Flintridge by threatening to lay off his entire staff for a month starting in October. Portantino has clashed with Perez several times, most recently by refusing to vote for the budget. Rules Committee Chairwoman Nancy Skinner, a Berkeley Democrat and Perez loyalist, atly says the leadership is not taking the action against Portantinos staff as retribution for his budget vote. Rather, Skinner claims, Portantino overspent his ofce budget. Skinners claim dees belief. The

information than how government spends money it extracts from taxpayers wallets. Its understandable why lawmakers might not want this information to become public. Details about how a legislator has spent or overspent his or her budget would be the stuff of political hit pieces. But embarrassment should not justify withholding what otherwise ought to be public information. The sum at issue is not trivial. The Assembly consumes $140 million a year, more than enough for example to restore funds for adult day health care, the program that provides a place for inrm elderly to spend their days to help them avoid going to nursing homes. Many individual legislators are sincere in their desire to help this state. But the cannibalistic ght among Perez, Skinner and Portantino is the latest lamentable example of how the Assembly has become a diminished institution. The veracity of the claims by Pirez, Skinner and Portantino ought to be easy to determine. The Assembly should produce the records of how members spend taxpayer money. Failure to release the records will only accelerate the further deterioration of the lower house.

Curing with capitalism

ithout getting into a discussion of Keynesian economics and the role of a government in the economy, it seems as if the economy is doing what it will with or without the government. And that may ultimately be the cure for poor governmental decisions. Unemployment is still high. Manufacturing data indicated the economy is slowing, the service sector did not realize the gains that were expected and there was a virtual bloodbath on Wall Street Thursday. This on top of our elected ofcials bringing our economy to the brink of disaster with the debt ceiling debate that ended with an open-ended agreement no one is really happy about, but that everyone is happy arrived. So what now? Another jobs program? More unemployment benets? Plans for more infrastructure improvements? Does it really matter? The strident posturing and debate seems to have subsided with the toxic cloud slowly leaving the air in Washington, D.C. with this weeks debt deal. The whole discussion and end result seemed to be karmic payback for Wall Street since the Federal Reserve did all it could to prop it up for the last two years. So you take the good with the bad. After the government bailed out the banks, it gave them a complex set of rules and regulations thanks to the Dodd-Frank bill that is hammering their bottom line and causing new fees for the responsible among us. Did we really think banks wouldnt gure out a way to make money off us? Thats kind of their mission. In the meantime, there is an emerging social media tech bubble that just might stave off another round of cuts in Sacramento when an anticipated $4 billion in revenue might come in this fall. If that happens, the mid-school-year trigger cuts to education may be avoided and happy days are here again. Or are they? It may seem counterintuitive to discuss a bubble when the Dow lost about 10 percent in the past week, but make note of LinkedIns performance after hours Thursday. Its earnings report showed revenue doubled and membership spiked since last year and the stock responded with an afterhours burst. It is a bright spot in a stormy sea. The tech bubble, along with people cashing out on the previously rising stock market, is creating more capital gains which is helping California bridge its budget decit. It may continue as more social media companies go public and people cash in and cash out and pay taxes on the prot. Weve seen this before during the dot-com boom when governments had sacks of money to spend and were able to dole out new salary and benet packages paid for by the booming stock market. When that market busted, there were contract obligations that added to the red side of the ledger without much to make up for it on the black side. And while this budget season in Sacramento was eased by Proposition 25, which allowed the budget to pass by a majority of the Legislature, next year may have some surprises in store by way of extra money. On the surface, that may seem like a blessing after so many seasons of slashing, but it will take a tremendous amount of discipline to resist the calls of special interests looking for a handout after some $50 billion in cuts over three years. If the projections come out as realized, whatever extra money should be placed in a rainy day fund to ensure Sacramento does not fall victim once again to another bust cycle. But will there be that discipline? It seems it is always an election year in Sacramento, just as it always is in Washington, so you have otherwise smart people making poor decisions to ensure they can keep their jobs. Thats no way to run a government, but luckily, it seems, there are innovative business people out there more interested in making money. And in doing so, whatever folly occurs in whatever capitol can be cured with a little capitalism.

Editor, This week the budget has been passed and signed into law by our weak-kneed president and Democratic party. A deal which says increase the debt ceiling (continue to borrow), and sacrice social programs like Medicare and Social Security which real Democrats such as presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson fought so hard to attain. Eventually the cuts that will be made will hurt us all (the American people). Basically the problem has been solved by simply putting it off until another day when the debt crisis will be revisited again. behind. Maybe it is time to elect new people to Congress and time for our current congressional representatives and President Obama to go home permanently. have been doing: Putting the richest country in the world into major debt. How can we be the richest country in the world, be so far in debt and be going deeper? The media and Democrats blame the Tea Party people for hijacking our country. Our country was already hijacked by the politicians and the media. These life-long politicians (Reid, Pelosi, et al.), who have made themselves millionaires on the backs of We The People, are the criminals. How do people making $150,000 per year become millionaires? Wake up America. So please become informed and involved, and vote out the status quo in 2012 before these politicians make the United States a Banana Republic.

Can we be honest and serious?

Editor, I am not promoting Republicans and the Tea Party or denigrating Democrats. But let us be honest and serious for once in our lives before this whole damn system implodes. We The People have been and are still being lied to about our country. The politicians, Democrats and Republicans, negotiated a deal regarding our economy again. They have done this 100 times and every time they raise our debt obligation and call it decit reduction. Are We The People that stupid? Decit reduction is paying off your debts? How much more debt do you want to leave to your grandchildren? We have allowed politicians, Democrats and Republicans, to protect their supporters who funnel some of their welfare payments, corporate and individual, back to the political re-election campaigns of our life-long politicians. We need to stop subsidizing companies and individuals who are not productive, because We The People who do pay taxes will cease to exist in numbers sufcient to fund this insane system that our politicians created. This group in Washington called Tea Party Republicans has exposed what the life-long politicians

Dow falls 512

By David K. Randall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Wall Street
For the day, the Dow closed down 512.76 points, at 11,383.68. It was the steepest point decline since Dec. 1, 2008. Thursdays decline was the ninth-worst by points for the Dow. In percentage terms, the decline of 4.3 percent does not rank among the worst. On Black Monday in 1987, for example, the Dow fell 22 percent. Two weeks ago, investors appeared worried about the deadlocked negotiations in Washington over raising the ceiling on government debt. As soon as the ceiling was raised, investors focused on the economy, and the selling accelerated. On Thursday, growing fear about the weakening U.S. economy was joined by concern in Europe that the troubled economies of Italy and Spain might need help from the European Union. The European Union has already given financial assistance to Greece and Ireland, two countries that have struggled to pay their debts. A nancial rescue package for Italy or Spain might be more than the group of countries can handle. Traders also unloaded stocks before Fridays release of the governments unemployment report for July, which is expected to show weak job growth and perhaps a rise in the unemployment rate, which is 9.2 percent.

Leap Wireless International Inc.,down $3.39 at $6.65 The low-cost wireless carriers shares fell to a record low after it reported a loss of subscribers in the second quarter.

NEW YORK Gripped by fear of a new recession, the stock market suffered its worst day Thursday since the nancial crisis in the fall of 2008. The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 500 points, its ninth-steepest decline. The sell-off wiped out the Dows remaining gains for 2011. It put the Dow and broader stock indexes into what investors call a correction down 10 percent from their highs in the spring. We are continuing to be bombarded by worries about the global economy, said Bill Stone, the chief investment strategist for PNC Financial. Across the nancial markets, the day was reminiscent of the wild swings that dened the nancial crisis in September and October three years ago. Gold prices briey hit a record high. Oil fell even more than stocks 6 percent, or $5.30 a barrel. And frightened investors were so desperate to get into some government bonds that they were willing accept almost no return on their money. It was the most alarming day yet in the almost uninterrupted selling that has swept Wall Street for two weeks. The Dow has lost more than 1,300 points, or 10.5 percent. By one broad measure kept by Dow Jones, almost $1.9 trillion in market value has disappeared.

LinkedIns 2Q earnings climb

By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO In its rst quarterly update since its sizzling IPO, online professional networking service LinkedIn Corp. reassured investors who have been buying into the hype surrounding a promising crop of Internet companies. The second-quarter results announced Thursday injected some hope into a grim stock market and could feed the mount-

ing excitement for upcoming initial public offering of stocks from other rising Internet stars such as online coupon Groupon Inc. and Web game maker Zynga Inc. The reason: LinkedIn reported the accelerating revenue and membership growth that it needed to support its lofty stock price and delivered higher earnings when analysts were bracing for a loss. It marked the first update since LinkedIns headline-grabbing initial

public offering of stock in May. The companys shares immediately doubled from their IPO price of $45 and remained in that range, stirring debate about whether investors are overvaluing Internet companies that build large audiences with mostly free services. The fervor has raised fears that the Internet may be in the early stages of an investment bubble akin to the late 1990s hysteria that culminated in a devastating collapse.

PG&E 2Q profit rises

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO PG&E Corp.s earnings climbed 9 percent in the second quarter, as a revenue boost from two rate case settlements offset costs related to last years San Bruno gas pipeline explosion. For the quarter that ended June 30, PG&E said Thursday that it earned $362 million, or 91 cents per share. This compares with $333 million, or 86 cents per share, in the same quarter a year earlier. The company said its results included a boost from the settlement of a general rate case and a gas transmission and storage rate case during the quarter. The results also gure in costs from the San Bruno gas pipeline explosion last year, as well as insurance recoveries and a provision for liability issues related to the explosion. On Sept. 9, eight people were killed and at least 35 homes destroyed when a PG&E pipeline near San Bruno exploded. San Bruno is about 10 miles south of San Francisco, where the company is based. The company said Thursday that it has set aside $279 million so far to cover third-party liability issues. Excluding one-time items such as the costs related to the San Bruno explosion, PG&E earned $1.02 per share.

Business brief
DirecTV grows 2Q profit, confirms interest in Hulu
LOS ANGELES Satellite TV provider DirecTV said Thursday that its second-quarter net income grew 29 percent thanks to healthy subscriber growth in Latin America. It also conrmed its interest as a potential bidder for online video service Hulu. The interest in buying Hulu comes as subscriber growth is slowing in DirecTVs biggest market, the United States. Some customers are dropping subscription-TV packages and turning to free or cheaper online options for watching TV shows, including Hulu. They are also shopping hard for better deals in a weak economy.

Tiger off to solid start

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AKRON, Ohio Tiger Woods said his left knee felt as strong as he thought it was. His game didnt look half bad, either. Playing for the rst time in nearly three months, Woods made a strong opening statement Thursday that his health is no longer an issue by going after any shot from any lie in a round of 2-under 68 at the Bridgestone Invitational. It feels great, Woods said. As anybody whos been off and whos been injured, rst time back its a little nervous to see what happens. But my practice sessions were good, so theres no reason why I should be worried out there. I went out there and let it go, let it rip, and see what happens. His ex-caddie saw the kind of golf he was

used to seeing at Firestone, too. Steve Williams, now working permanently for Adam Scott after Woods red him a month ago, watched the Australian play awlessly in matching his career-low round with a 62 that gave Scott a one-shot lead. Williams was on the bag for all seven of Woods wins at Firestone, including his record score of 259 when he won by 11 shots in 2000. He didnt think it was a big deal to shoot 62, Scott said. It was normal. Woods, who last completed a round at the Masters, had his lowest opening round of the year. Considering the soft conditions, it only was worth a tie for 18th, six shots out of the lead. With an overcast sky in the morning and barely any wind throughout the steamy after-

noon, half of the 78-man eld at this World Golf Championship broke par. Jason Day, who tied for second with Scott at the Masters, shot a 63 in the morning. Nick Watney, a World Golf Championship winner at Doral this year, bogeyed the last hole and still had a 65. Woods at least got himself pointed in the right direction. Playing in soft spikes for the rst time, and going back to the putter that he used in 13 of his major championships, Woods avoided a poor start by making an 18-foot par putt on the third, and he saved his round toward the end of the front nine by getting up-and-down from a bunker on the eighth, and making a 20foot par putt on the ninth.

It was one of the countys smallest teams that accomplished one of the biggest things this summer. Out of the 560 teams in Northern California Little League to eld 9-10 year old teams, it was Belmonts collection of All-Stars that was one of the last two standing. While they fell one game short of winning it all in the section tournament, the boys in blue and red still enjoyed one of most historic seasons in their history. But maybe most importantly, to them and the people of that community, they did it together, without one real superstar but instead, a collection of players who came together for a common goal. I dont think there was one kid who I could say, hey, this was our best kid, said Belmont manager Rudy Lopez. I had three great pitchers, I had four great hitters. What Rudy Lopez really propelled this team was our pitching. Belmonts domination on the mound was indeed the key to their success. While looking at the box scores, of course the double-digit runs and mercy-rule after mercy-rule victories jump out at you. But Lopez said all those dominating victories were the product of Belmonts three-headed monster on the hill. Nicolas Lopez, Sean Lee and Dominic Susa carried the bulk of the pitching load for Belmont pitching all but eight innings of Belmonts 69 1/3 total. As a team, Belmont went 11-2, with a 3.98 ERA and 106 combined strikeouts. Lee and Nicolas were Belmonts two aces. If I had one game left in the season, Nicolas would be my starter, Lopez said. He pretty much shut down any team he faced. He was dominant. No one could really touch his fastball and hes got two other pitches that are not seen at the 10-year old level. In 23 1/3 innings, Lopez allowed only 19 hits and ve earned runs for a 1.29 ERA. Lee was just as good. In 21 innings, he gave up 13 hits and posted a 1.71 ERA. Susa was the man designated to close things out for Belmont. With most of their games already in the bag, Susas 17 innings of work were crucial to keeping Nicolas and Lee sharp.

NFL to start testing for HGH

By Howard Fendrich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON NFL players ratied a new, 10-year collective bargaining agreement Thursday, hours after it was nalized, and two people familiar with the negotiations told the Associated Press the contract allows the NFL to become the rst major U.S. professional sports league to use blood testing for human growth hormone. They spoke on condition of anonymity because no formal announcement had been made about the details of the CBA. Players eventually would be subject to random testing for HGH, in addition to annual checks as is the case for all banned substances in the leagues drug-testing program only after the union is condent in the way the testing and appeals process will work. The aim is to have everything worked out in time to start HGH testing by Week 1 of the

If not, they have to come up with another one. Most of the deal to end the NFLs 4 1/2month lockout was agreed to last month, but certain elements still needed to be ironed out after the NFL Players Association re-established itself as a union.

SANTA CLARA Braylon Edwards took the eld a little late on his rst day. No biggie to the San Francisco 49ers. They have a proven new playmaker among the receivers after signing the wideout to a $3.5 million, one-year contract on Thursday. Edwards agent, Ben Dogra, conrmed the deal to The Associated Press, less than an hour before San Franciscos free agents took the eld for the rst time under new coach Jim Harbaugh who, like Edwards, is a former Michigan man. The Niners announced the acquisition of Edwards shortly after practice began, then he emerged from the locker room less than an hour into the workout wearing No. 81 to join newly signed quarterback Alex Smith and the others. Edwards also tweeted that he agreed to a deal with the 49ers, who will certainly count

on the veteran receiver to make an immediate contribution for a franchise that hasnt had a winning record or reached the playoffs since 2002. Michael Crabtree is sidelined at the start of training camp for the third straight year, nursing a left foot injury sustained during offseason workouts that has him sporting a walking boot. Braylon Crabtree has yet to live up Edwards to the hype around him after he was drafted 10th overall in 2009 out of Texas Tech. After a 71-day stalemate between Crabtree and the team, he agreed to a six-year deal with $17 million guaranteed.

Lee shuts down

The San Jose Earthquakes are running out of bodies. And, more importantly, theyre running out of time. After a mostly-successful stretch of soccer that saw the Quakes go unbeaten in six games and defeated only twice in their last nine, San Jose has hit a twogame lull where theyve been outscored 6-0. And now comes news that theyre leading goal-scorer, Steven Lenhart, will no longer be available for the foreseeable future. The Earthquakes announced Thursday that Lenhart is taking a leave of absence, with a return to the squad listed as indenite. The striker departed the club to spend time with his family in Southern California following San Joses match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on July 20 that resulted in a 2-2 draw. In the two games since his departure, the Quakes have lost twice with no signs of any legitimate offensive pressure. Lenhart is the Earthquakes secondleading scorer with ve goals in 14 games. He also has a team-leading three assists. The 24-year-old forward, acquired by the Quakes in a draft-day trade from Columbus, missed the seasons rst ve matches after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. But since his introduction into the starting 11, Lenhart had provided a much-needed spark especially following Chris Wondolowskis call-up to the United States Mens National

SAN FRANCISCO Cliff Lee threw a seven-hitter, Hunter Pence and John Mayberry hit back-to-back home runs and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the San Francisco Giants 3-0 Thursday night. Lee (11-7) was commanding in his rst regular season start against the Giants in two years, striking out eight, including Cody Ross four times, and not walking a hitter. He set down 10 in a row at one point in his major league-leading fth shutout this season. It was also some revenge for Lee, who lost twice to the Giants in last years World Series pitching for the Texas Rangers. Pence had three hits and drove in two runs and is hitting .360 (9 for 25) since joining the Phillies. Cliff Lee Madison Bumgarner, a postseason hero for the Giants, recovered after allowing two long balls in a game for just the second time this year and the rst since June 15. Bumgarner (6-11) retired 13 of 14 following Mayberrys blast. He went eight innings, allowing six hits, walking two and striking out nine. The Phillies, who have won seven straight since losing two in a row to the Giants in Philadelphia, remain undefeated since acquiring Pence, who homered in a Phillies uniform for the rst time. Pence ended a 19-game, 67-at bat homerless drought when he connected on Bumgarners rst pitch in the second inning. Bumgarner allowed the rst three Phillies to reach in the rst, but Jimmy Rollins was thrown out trying to steal third by Chris Stewart and Ryan Howard lined into a 5-6 double play. The Phillies never had more than one runner on in an inning the rest of the way. Lee, who threw the 10th shutout of his career, made it all academic, needing just 74 pitches to get through the rst seven innings and 106 overall. He sent the Giants to their sixth loss in seven games, slicing a half-game off their NL West lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks, who open a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. Pence added an RBI single in the ninth against Santiago Casilla. NOTES: Giants IF Mark DeRosa was activated from the 60day DL.

after breaking an orbital bone in his face and is expected to miss a couple of weeks, according to coach Hue Jackson. McFadden left practice early Wednesday with the injury. He delivered a hard block on linebacker Quentin Groves in one drill, but Jackson did not say if that caused the injury. Hell be fine, Jackson said. Well get him back out here and keep on rolling. After struggling his first two seasons, McFadden had a breakout year in 2010. He led the team in rushing with 1,157 yards, added 507 yards receiving and scored 10 touchdowns last season. He finally delivered the big-play threat the Raiders had been waiting for since picking him fourth overall in the 2008 draft, leading the NFL with 14 carries of at least 20 yards. The Raiders are short-handed at running back with rookie Taiwan Jones and veteran Michael Bennett also hurt, and Michael Bush waiting to sign his restricted free agent tender. I think thats going to get resolved here soon. But yeah, wed love to have him out here, Jackson said. Hes one of the backs on this team thats played well. So we have some other guys that are battling hard, but all I can really be concerned about are the guys that are here practicing. With the collective bargaining agreement getting signed earlier in the day, the Raiders were allowed to have their 15 newly signed free agents practice for the first time. But McFadden and more than a dozen other players are out with various injuries.

Moore leaped over Stevie Brown and Demarcus Van Dyke in the back of the end zone and did a good job getting his toes down inbounds for a touchdown catch that left teammates gasping and led to a celebration usually reserved for more meaningful scores in the regular season.

Smith getting another chance with 49ers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Alex Smith gently cradled the football in his right arm as he waited his turn to throw getting going on the field at last, yet another fresh start with his only NFL team. Smith is back Alex Smith behind center for the San Francisco 49ers, seven months after this scenario seemed like such a longshot for the 2005 No. 1 overall pick out of Utah. The embattled quarterback was booed and benched, cheered and

promoted once more. Smith stuck in there when many hoped he would just go away for good. He stood his ground during a sideline spat with former coach Mike Singletary last October. First-year coach Jim Harbaugh wanted Smith to return and be the starting quarterback in a new regime. General manager Trent Baalke was willing to take one last shot on him, too. And with the NFL lockout, the QB decided his safest bet was to stay put with the one franchise he knows. The 27-year-old Smith, a new father with a newfound energy for football under Harbaughs guidance, practiced for the first time Its ofcial, Edwards said. We have moved to the bay. Im a proud member of the San Francisco 49ers. The 28-year-old Edwards made 53 receptions for 904 yards and seven touchdowns last season in his second year with the New York Jets. He spent his rst ve NFL seasons with Cleveland, making the Pro Bowl in 2007. Hes really excited about the offense with Jim Harbaugh, Dogra said. He has a legitimate chance to

Thursday night since signing a $5 million, one-year deal as a free agent last week. There was Harbaugh with a watchful eye as No. 11 went about his business. It was Smith who gathered his teammates together for structured workouts this summer at nearby San Jose State deemed Camp Alex and Harbaugh sure appreciated the initiative. Hes excited to come back, offensive lineman Tony Wragge said of Smith before they took the field. Time to roll. Smith knows its time to finally put together the kind of season he has long hoped for that the fans have long hoped for since the 49ers play early and often. Hes looking for a fresh start and felt good about his conversations with Coach Harbaugh and (general manager) Trent Baalke. Thats what made the biggest difference for him. They also have the chance to win this year and are expected to compete for the division. If he does well, hopefully theres an opportunity to prolong his career there. Safety Donte Whitner also said on Twitter that he has joined San

drafted him. His tenure so far has been a rollercoaster to say the least. He will be a backup again in a hurry if things dont work out this time. Harbaugh is counting on a comeback by Smith as the coach prepares to turn around this onceproud franchise. Smith passed for 2,370 yards and 14 touchdowns in 11 games and 10 starts last season, but he also threw 10 interceptions and was sacked 25 times. The 49ers fully expected to win the NFC West but instead finished 6-10 after a surprising 0-5 start and havent had a winning season or reached the playoffs since 2002. Smith took over the starting job Francisco, then sent a tweet to Edwards. Bray I signed there today also...lets get a RING! The 26-year-old Whitner, the eighth overall pick out of Ohio State in 2006, ranked fth in the NFL with 140 tackles last season for Buffalo and also had one forced fumble, an interception and half a sack. He apparently had been close to signing with the Cincinnati Bengals.

midway through 2009 and was entrenched as the starter for Singletary heading into last year. But he separated his non-throwing left shoulder Oct. 24 at Carolina, and Singletary turned to 2006 Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith for the next ve games even after Alex Smith was healthy. Troy Smith went 3-2 as a starter, then it was Alex Smiths turn again for two games, including a commanding win over eventual West champion Seattle. After a flop at San Diego, Singletary turned back to Troy Smith for a must-win game with the Rams on Dec. 26. That 25-17 loss cost the coach his job with one week to go. With the addition of Edwards, the Niners now have the No. 1 (Smith), No. 3 (Edwards) and No. 9 (cornerback Carlos Rogers) overall picks from the 05 draft. Second-year safety Taylor Mays, a second-round draft pick out of Southern California last year, was on the eld for practice amid reports the 49ers are reaching out to teams across the league in an effort to trade him. San Francisco had no comment on the status of Mays.

to take that aggressive step against doping. Baseball was able to impose that on players with minor-league contracts because they are not members of the players association, which means blood testing is not subject to collective bargaining. Gary Wadler, who until this year led the World Anti-Doping Agencys committee that considers which substances should be banned in sports, cautioned Thursday that it will be important to nd out the specics that eventually are agreed to by the NFL and players. You can get a sound bite out of saying the NFL and NFLPA have adopted a blood-testing policy. You can say, Thats pretty good, and forget the rest of the story, Wadler said in a telephone interview. But the devils in the details. The rest of the story might be equivalent to having no testing at all. fun. Im hitting it farther without any more effort.

federal court was again formed by last weekend. Final CBA language was in place Thursday afternoon in talks between the sides lawyers in Washington. Before 5 p.m. EDT, players voted to approve the nal agreement. That allowed players who signed contracts July 26 or after and had been forced to sit out practices by NFL rules to nally join teammates in drills Thursday, as the new league year ofcially began. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith will sign the CBA at the front steps of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, on Friday morning. Thats where the only game canceled by the NFLs rst work stoppage since 1987 was supposed to be

played Sunday between the Bears and Rams. Among the CBA elements that were settled this week: parameters for penalties associated with oneld discipline and new disability program guidelines. Under a new neuro-cognitive disability benet, for example, players do not have to prove that their mental disability was related to playing football. For on-eld offenses which grabbed headlines last season when the league made a point of enforcing existing rules about illegal hits more strictly the NFLPA must be consulted before a player is suspended or ned more than $50,000. And players now will be able Roger Goodell to argue on appeal that a ne is excessive if it exceeds 25 percent of one weeks pay for a rst offense or 50 percent of a weeks pay for a second offense. There was one moment on the 17th tee when a reporter thought he saw Woods left his left leg in a peculiar fashion. The marker was right in my way, Woods said with a grin. Perhaps more telling is that Woods said he stopped putting ice on his leg and taking inammatory medicine a while ago, and held nothing back in his rst competitive round in 84 days. I hadnt really gone at it yet until today, he said. Just kind of plodding away, just kind of hitting shots. Today was just, Lets go, lets go play, just put everything else aside and lets go give it a go and try to post a low number. His lone bogey came on the 14th hole, when he tried to hit a perfect bunker shot from a slightly downhill lie with the green running away from him. He came inches short of pulling it off, leaning back in disbelief. He

The off-eld conduct policy remains largely unchanged and in Goodells hands. The most signicant new item in Thursdays agreement, though, is the HGH testing, which was the last topic holding things up. Goodell has been keen to have players tested for HGH, saying in an interview with the AP in August 2010: Its about the integrity of the game. We think its important to have HGH testing, to make sure we ensure that we can take performance-enhancing substances out of the game, Goodell said then. Preventing athletes from using HGH is considered a key target in the anti-doping movement. The substance is hard to detect, and athletes are believed to choose HGH for a variety of benets, whether they be real or only perceived including increasing speed and improving vision. Last year, Major League Baseball implemented random blood testing for HGH in the minors, making it the rst U.S. professional sports league two-putted from the collar for bogey, and then came back two holes later with a shot that showed he might already be at full strength. From the right rough on the par-5 16th, blocked by trees, Woods went after a 3-wood and cut short his backswing as he tried to fade it around the trees. It went farther than he expected, and while his approach was 30 feet long, he holed the birdie putt, raising the putter in his left hand when it dropped in the center of the cup. The only problem he had was controlling his distance, and Woods had a reason for that, too. Im hitting it just so much more ush, and Im just not used to that, he said. Does that mean he was hitting it badly before? Yeah, he said. My swing was more of a wipey swing ... so I wasnt getting a full transfer of energy. Now Im swinging easier. Im not even hitting it hard yet, and thats whats

Then came his approach on the 10th, that spun out of the back fringe and settled about 4 feet away for birdie not only his rst of the day, but his rst since he two-putted for birdie form 4 feet on the 15th hole at the Masters on April 10. Woods injured a knee ligament and his Achilles tendon in that tournament, and then said he returned too early at The Players Championship. He aggravated the injuries on the rst hole at the TPC Sawgrass and quit after nine holes at 6-over par. He said he would not play again until he was fully healthy, and that much showed at Firestone.

Mazda minivans a bargain

By Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

2012 Mazda5 Sport MT BASE PRICE:$19,195. AS TESTED:$20,770. TYPE: Front-engine, front-wheeldrive, six-passenger, compact minivan. ENGINE: 2.5-liter, double overhead

Behind the wheel

cam four cylinder with VVT. MILEAGE: 21 mpg (city), 28 mpg (highway). TOP SPEED:NA. LENGTH:180.5 inches.

WHEELBASE:108.3 inches. CURB WEIGHT: 3,417 pounds. BUILT AT: Japan. OPTIONS:Sirius satellite radio $430; fog lamps $300; rear bumper guard $50. DESTINATION CHARGE: $795.

The 2012 Mazda5 is a pleasant bargain a nimble minivan thats smaller than others, yet has seats for six, best fuel mileage of any van, a value price and even an available manual transmission. The ve-door Mazda5, restyled for 2012 and with a new, more powerful engine, also is a recommended buy of Consumer Reports magazine. And with U.S. gasoline prices staying stubbornly in the mid to high $3 range, the 2012 Mazda5, with a federal government fuel economy rating of 21 miles a gallon in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, is a thrifty way to carry people and cargo. While starting retail prices for other minivans soared to more than $24,000 in recent years, the starting manufacturers suggested retail price, including destination charge, for a 2012 Mazda5 is $19,990. This is for a Sport model with manual transmission, new, 157-horsepower, fourcylinder engine and standard features that include manually sliding rear side doors, attractive cloth-trimmed seats, lots of storage cubbies, oor mats, automatic climate control, and audio controls on the steering wheel. With five-speed automatic, the 2012 Mazda5 has a starting retail price of $20,990. Even the top-of-the-line Mazda5 Touring model, with all options included such as rearseat DVD entertainment center, Sirius satellite radio and gate/garage door opener, tops out at just under $27,000. These prices compare with the $28,885 starting retail price for a 2011 Honda Odyssey with standard automatic transmission and 248-horsepower V-6 and the $24,830 starting retail price for a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan with automatic transmission and 283-horsepower V-6. Even the 2011 Kia Sedona minivan has a higher starting MSRP, including destination charge $25,390 with 271-horsepower V-6 and automatic transmission.

text-messaging while driving went into effect. The department, with help from police ofcers from Belmont, San Bruno, Millbrae and the county Sheriffs Ofce handed out 46 citations to drivers for using a cellphone yesterday. The tickets range in cost from $75 to $200. Citations were issued on Burlingame Avenue, Broadway, Rollins Road and Airport Boulevard. It was not a zero tolerance crackdown, however, ofcers were able to use their discretion on whether to issue a citation or a simple warning, Burlingame police Cpl. Chuck Witt told ofcers during a brieng before they hit the streets. The ofcers issued 16 warnings in total, one to a woman on California Drive who promised never to drive and text again. Police spotted this woman doing head bobs at a stoplight, a sure sign of texting, Nakiso said. She told police she thought it was illegal to text only while she was driving and not while stopped at a light. She learned the law yesterday, though. If you can enforce the law in a way people learn without handing out a citation you are still doing the job, Nakiso said. The best story of the day for police was likely the incident when a citation was issued to a woman for talking on her cellphone who said she did not understand why it was OK for police to drive and use their cellphones but seats got me positioned high enough I could look over lower-riding cars and through the windows of larger cars to see trafc ahead. The Mazda5 tester moved into compactsized parking spaces without fuss, and thanks to good views out of the vehicle and its tidy, 15-foot-long size, the Mazda5 was easy to parallel park in smaller city-sized street parking spaces. Note that the Grand Caravan, Odyssey and Sedona are all some 21 inches longer, from bumper to bumper, than the Mazda5. Passengers feel some vibrations from the road and hear considerable road noise. It can become loud when the vehicle is on roughsurfaced concrete roads. I kept cranking up the radio volume when I was on these roads. I heard the engine, too. This year, its the same 2.5-liter, double overhead cam four cylinder thats also used in the larger Mazda CX-7 sport utility vehicle as well as the Mazda6. This powerplant produces 157 horsepower in the van, with torque of 163 foot-pounds peaking at 4,000 rpm, which is more than what last years engine provided. The test Mazda5 had the six-speed manual transmission, which let me get this 3,400pound vehicle scooting along in city trafc with zest and allowed me to select gears for spirited uphill driving. not OK for her to do it. Just minutes after she received a citation from a motorcycle cop, Nakiso pulled her over for a second time clearly talking on her cellphone while driving and making a lefthand turn. She told police, I had to take the call, it was my boss. She was spared a second citation, but afterward, Nakiso thought that maybe she should have been ticketed twice. Texting and talking on the cellphone in the car has become a part of day-to-day life and the behavior needs to be changed, Nakiso said. One motorist who got a ticket told police he couldnt stand it when others do it. I complain about others, I should know better. Police also handed out ve citations for seat belt violations, two for red-light violations, two for covering the ears with headphones and another for an illegal U-turn in front of a re station. The crackdown also resulted in a felony arrest, when police found a driver possessing a dangerous weapon. A motorcyclist was also caught driving 69 mph on Rollins Road before noon yesterday. The crackdown ended at about 2:30 p.m. with police handing out 57 citations in total.

driving, not when Im stopped at a light. Yesterday, the Burlingame Police Department conducted a crackdown on distracted drivers and officers heard all the excuses above and many, many more. The crackdown got under way at about 9:30 a.m. when nine motorcycle cops rolled out of Burlingame police headquarters on Trousdale Drive and headed to the citys busiest intersections. They found their rst texter within minutes. Driver distractions are the leading cause of most vehicle crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Burlingame Police Department has received an increasing number of complaints from the community about the bad behavior. State law, authored by state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, prohibits the use of cellphones while driving unless the device is hands-free. Simitians law has been on the books for nearly ve years but some drivers still dont get it, said acting Capt. Ed Nakiso, who provided support for the motorcycle cops from his police cruiser. Simitian beefed up his hands-free cellphone law in 2009, when his legislation banning

Shepherd was originally charged with two felony counts of arson and intentional vandalism but prosecutors yesterday dismissed one and reduced the other to a misdemeanor count of causing a fire that damaged property. District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe did not immediately know why the charge was lowered but said the amount of damage is often a key component in determining the severity of arson cases. Prosecutors say Shepherd did not act alone. Two juveniles also arrested in the March 27, 2010 fires at Roosevelt Elementary School have since had their cases settled but juvenile record laws prohibit further disclosure of how exactly those cases were resolved. Both a landscaper working across the street from the school and a video surveillance system caught Shepherd and the two boys setting fire. One of the blazes near the schools gymnasium/multi-purpose building destroyed the wooden door frame. Shepherd was an 18-year-old Woodside High School student at the time of the incident. ward and back on their tracks, which helps passengers adjust legroom between secondand third-row seats. The third row is a bit tight to get into, and in contrast to the front two rows that have a space or console between them, the rearmost seats are separate but rest right next to each other. Third-row passengers also nd that because these seats rest so close to the oor, knees get pushed upward. Legroom there is a measly 30.5 inches compared with 42.4 inches in the third row of the Odyssey. Cargo space behind the second-row seats in the Mazda5 also is at a premium, measuring 44.4 cubic feet compared with 93.1 cubic feet in the Odyssey.

Perhaps because of the fuel thrifty nature of the Mazda5, sales are up 22 percent so far this year compared with last calendar year to nearly 13,000. Still, this number pales in comparison with the bigger, heavier passenger vans, like the top-selling Odyssey, that have sold three to four times as many vans this year. But buyers of the bigger vans wont nd the $20,770 sticker price that I had for the test Mazda5, which included Sirius satellite radio, fog lamps, remote entry key fob and standard safety features of curtain air bags, antilock brakes, traction control and electronic stability control. The vans refreshed exterior for 2012 has attractive side swirls in the sheet metal for an interesting look, not the plain slab sides of some other minivans. The best part of this van was how easy it was getting inside and onto the rst two rows of seats. All four of these seats are separate chairs no bench seating and at 5 feet 4, I could turn and set myself on the seat cushions without climbing up or dropping down. The manual height adjustment on the front

I admit I forgot about the sixth gear sometimes, as I moved well through highway trafc in fth gear and didnt need to do much downshifting. In sixth gear, the Mazda5 rolled easily along, getting the maximum from the engine. The only time I wished for an automatic was when I crawled through congested trafc for several miles on a highway. Overall, in trafc that was 65 percent highway-speed driving with many mountain roads, I managed a commendable 25.5 mpg, which is above the federal governments 24 mpg combined city/highway rating and well above the 23.5 mpg combined rating of the Odyssey. Second-row seats in the Mazda5 move for-

Silly humans. Were so arrogant. We see a cute, cuddly baby chimp, assign all kinds of familiar characteristics to it and raise it with the loving playfulness wed give our own children, only to nd that the creatures unpredictable and ferocious animal nature wins out in the end. If the documentary Project Nim didnt serve as enough

of a warning for us earlier this summer, now we have the blockbuster Rise of the Planet of the Apes, which is sort of a prequel and sort of a sequel and sort of a reboot. Mainly, its a spectacle. Except for a couple of cute nods to the 1968 Charlton Heston original, Rise pretty much functions as its own stand-alone entity. Sure, it might be trying to teach us a lesson about hubris,

Economies and Exchanges in Africa and Beyond is exemplied by ancient Egyptian trade objects, goldweights from the historic period and a contemporary abstracted painting of a busy market. Moments of Transformation includes an Egyptian mummy mask, from the SeventhSixth century B.C., which aids in transitioning to the afterlife, and a 19th-century bocio gure used in the Vodoun religion of the Fon peoples of the Republic of Benin.

Relations between the United States and Mexico have been profoundly inuenced by the exchange and ow of people, goods and ideas across the nearly 2,000-mile border these nations share. Conceivably, one of the most important events to have inuenced this movement was the development of commercial air routes between the two countries during the 20th century. SFO Museums To Mexico by Air: A Legacy of Commercial Airline Service between the United States and Mexico, an exhibit of aircraft models, airline promotional objects, in-ight service items and uniform hats and insignia, examines this important connection.

REVIEWING EGYPT. Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University presents Expanding Views of Africa, an enlarged and enhanced reinstallation of 200 works that broaden conventional views of African art, from ancient cultures before the dynasties of the Egyptian Pharaohs to contemporary artists. Barbara Thompson, Ph.D., Phyllis Wattis Curator of the Arts of Africa and the Americas, said, The art of Africa dates from the beginning of humanity to the present, and African art expresses ideas about humanity that are held in common with peoples all over the world and throughout time. I am excited about this opportunity to introduce our visitors to a new way of considering African art and culture, in its historical depth and diversity. We are featuring a greater range of media and chronological, geographic and thematic representation than ever before. The objects now on view illustrate the unique nature of the Cantor Arts Centers African collection and demonstrate our new strategies in collection development and display. Outside the African galleries, a niche off the lobby highlights a single object: a full-sized bush buffalo costume with mask from the Nunuma culture of Burkina Faso. Once in the rst gallery, visitors encounter contemporary works made in a variety of media from the 1950s to the present, by artists living in Africa and the Diaspora. The next space presents African arts from the 16th to the mid-20th century. The nal gallery features the oldest African arts in museum collections, ranging from predynastic Egypt to 15th-century sub-Saharan cultures. The earliest antiquities on view, pottery from approximately 40003100 B.C., predate the emergence of a single powerful leader and the unication of Egypt under the Pharaohs. Curator Thompson uses a thematic approach to correlate objects. The theme Fashioning the Body/Dening the Self includes body adornment used to dene gender, cultural afnity, age

transnational service was launched between Brownsville, Texas and Mexico City. By the 1930s, the airline was successfully promoting Mexico as a highly desirable tourist destination steeped in romance and history. During the 1940s, Aeronaves de Mxico also came under Pan Americans reign and enabled the company to establish service through most of the country. During the postwar era, service expanded at a rapid pace as more airlines added ights and linked numerous destinations between the two countries. Since the deregulation of the 1970s, the air corridors crossing the United States-Mexico border have become increasingly crowded with a daily ow of tourism, immigration and transnational trade. This exhibition presents objects and images from the airlines that have played a pivotal role in establishing and maintaining air services between the United States and Mexico. SFO Museum features galleries throughout the Airport terminals, displaying a rotating schedule of art, history, science and cultural exhibitions. To Mexico by Air: A Legacy of Commercial Airline Service between the United States and Mexico runs through Jan. 2012 in the Terminal 3 Entrance Lobby pre-security.

Chop salad in the kitchen,not at table

salad should be chopped in the kitchen, not at the table. Thats the advice of Food Network star Guy Fieri, who prefers salads made from bitesize pieces. A good salad shouldnt require a knife, he said via e-mail. However it does require a salad spinner, or some other means of drying the greens. One of Fieris salad turnoffs is wet lettuce. It needs to be rinsed and dried, he said. Salads have made an impression on Fieri since he was a child. I distinctly remember taco salad night in my family, he said. When my parents made taco salad, I thought it was the greatest thing. We didnt eat a lot of meat growing up, but when we ate this, I had a eld day with the xings kidney beans, olives, green onions. I love to crumble up tortilla chips and toss it on top. My kids love taco salad night now. I continued the tradition. For the APs 20 Salads of Summer series, Fieri offered an intense salad of grilled romaine lettuce topped with bacon, onions, blue cheese and a tangy vinaigrette made with the bacon drippings. The idea behind it is to bring out the natural avors of the romaine by warming it up, rather than serving it cold like other salads, he said. The sweet avor of the romaine comes out when you char it on the grill. Hit it with the balsamic vinaigrette, bacon, onion and blue cheese and you have a nice balance of sweet and savory avors.

GRILLED ROMAINE WITH BLUE CHEESE-BACON VINAIGRETTE

Guy Fieri ignores his own no-knife-need-

ed advice for salads with this grilled romaine offering. But its worth the extra trouble. The grilling imparts a deliciously smoky (and, for salads, unusual) avor. The inclusion of the bacon fat in the vinaigrette doesnt hurt, either. Start to nish: 15 minutes Servings: 6 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 3/4 cup nely diced red onion 1/2 pound bacon, diced into 1/4-inch pieces 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 3 romaine lettuce heads, halved lengthwise, cores removed and leafy ends trimmed Salt and cracked black pepper 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese Heat a grill or indoor grill pan to high. In a large skillet over high, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the onion and bacon and cook until the bacon is crispy, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the onion and bacon to a plate. Return the skillet to the heat and add the balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Bring to a simmer, then cook to reduce for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. Brush the romaine with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill cut side down and quickly sear until grill marks are

Gollum again in Jacksons The Hobbit, a two-part prequel to The Lord of the Rings. When he first did Gollum, the technology was called motion capture. The performance-capture tag came as the tools evolved and filmmakers sought to emphasize that their actors truly were creating characters, not simply occupying space as place-holders for digital beings painted in later. Serkis does not see himself when he watches his performancecapture characters that were completed by Jacksons WETA effects outfit. But he does see what he created on the set, wearing a skin-tight suit covered with reference dots for digital cameras to record his body language. I totally see the intentions, the facial expressions, the timing, the acting choices. You know, the performance, Serkis, 47, said in an interview at Julys Comic-Con fan convention, where he and director Rupert Wyatt showed off footage from the Apes prequel. I know the manifestation of it is eventually not going to look like me, but when the director cuts the movie, theyre cutting the footage of you in the suit, so they live for months and months and months with the performance. And a director like Rupert who wants to retain that performance, because thats why its there in the cut will make sure that it doesnt veer off through the animation and rendering process. It doesnt veer away from the intention created by the actor. And fortunately, WETA is a genius visual-effects company, because for them, storytelling and character comes before showing off. In the Apes prequel, Serkis plays Caesar, a chimp that inherited a deeper intellect from his mother, a test subject for a drug intended to cure Alzheimers. Raised much like a human child by a researcher (James Franco), with help from a veterinarian (Freida Pinto), Caesar becomes a Che Guevara-style revolutionary, leading a rebellion of apes against their human oppressors. Past Planet of the Apes flicks used actors in chimp, gorilla or orangutan costumes. The filmmakers this time needed photo-realistic simians that could evolve into smarter-than-average apes. Once the filmmakers decided to use performance capture, Serkis was the first person senior visual-effects supervisor Joe Letteri suggested to Wyatt. You had this chimp that needed to grow up and have this relationship, this bond, with a human family, said Letteri, who also worked with Serkis on The Lord of the Rings, King Kong and Tintin. We needed someone who was going to be in there with James and Freida whos not afraid to interact with them and not afraid to have the personality play out as part of the performance. I can see a lot of Andy in it. It doesnt look at all like him, but theres an intensity, the way you can look into his eyes. You can just kind of see Andys performance. Wyatt wanted the best actor possible to play Caesar, and he was quickly convinced that Serkis was the primate he needed. Letteri had told him that the visual-effects artists were not alchemists who could salvage a performance that lacked real human spirit at the core of the character, Wyatt said. So he said, its all about getting the best performance you can, and then after that, we take over and we echo that, Wyatt said. If we hadnt gotten Andy, if we hadnt had the scenes) suffers from the affliction. When trouble with one of the test chimps necessitates putting all of them down, Will sneaks home a baby thats secretly just been born. (Seriously? Nobody noticed a newborn chimp?) Hes got some of the new drug in him, which makes him a quick learner; since hes clearly bound for great things, hes given the name Caesar. As in Project Nim and they would make a no-brainer of a double feature Caesar grows big and strong, wears clothes, learns sign language and becomes part of the family. At the same time, Will has been testing out the new drug on his dad, who is also showing signs of improvement. Over the years, Will has fallen in love with the gorgeous veterinarian who treated Caesar as a baby (Freida Pinto, whos called on to look pretty and not much else). Everythings humming along nicely. But, of course, since this is a CHIMP were talking about, things get out of hand and Caesar must be sent away. Thankfully, theres a primate shelter nearby in San Bruno (what are the odds?). Brian Cox runs the place with sinister facial hair, and with Tom Felton Draco Malfoy from the Harry

amazing privilege of working with him, then the movie would be a very different one. It wouldnt have such a great sense of humanity at its heart. As a college freshman, Serkis studied visual arts but was required to take on a subsidiary subject. He chose theater, where he initially designed posters, then tried acting. Serkis life changed after he landed a stage role as a rebellious teenager holding a teacher hostage. The whole course of the play took place while I was chain-smoking cigarettes over the petrol tank of a motorbike in a chemistry store, and it was just like, wow, Serkis said. I kind of totally went into the deep end of that character, and after that, that was it. I literally put down my paints and wanted to become an actor. Serkis has appeared in dozens of British theater productions, while his film credits include Jennifer Garners romance 13 Going on 30, Christopher Nolans The Prestige and the upcoming crime tale Brighton Rock. For television, Serkis earned an Emmy nomination for the Charles Dickens miniseries Little Dorrit and a Golden Globe nomination for the prison drama Longford. Though he already has shot his scenes as Gollum for The Hobbit, Serkis is not done with that world. Jackson hired him as second-unit director to oversee some action scenes and other sequences for the two-part epic. That suits Serkis career path, since hes been developing projects to direct himself and has started his own performance-capture studio to work on films and video games. I love working with the medium, and it is a medium that needs to be used appropriately. Thats what worries me about motioncapture. Its not a genre. Its a tool, Serkis said. The reason that some motion-capture films dont work is if the scripts are not good and the characters arent engaging, then you dont believe in the journey, and youre not connected to it. Its not the technologys fault. Potter movies playing his son, you know these cant be warmhearted guys. Wyatt builds tension in these scenes by playing them as if they were the central part of a prison drama, and watching Caesar manipulate his fellow chimps to wrest control is a hoot. Serkis is so intense and committed to the role, you cant help but feel some empathy for Caesar, for his frustration and confusion. The effects are especially crisp when Apes focuses just on him, or on his seamless interaction with one or two humans or a couple of other chimps. Its the big set pieces that form the films climax as dozens of chimps scamper over hills and through city streets, into the zoo to free their brethren and eventually across that famous bridge that things start to look distractingly fake and jerky. But hey, at least they arent flinging themselves at us in 3-D. Then things would get really hairy. Rise of the Planet of the Apes, a 20th Century Fox release, is rated PG-13 for intense and frightening sequences of action and violence. Running time: 105 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

But mostly its about angry, roided-up chimps clambering across cars on the Golden Gate Bridge, giving a hairy smackdown to the outmatched California Highway Patrol officers who are foolish enough to stand in their way. The second you see cops arriving on horseback in a futile attempt at keeping the peace, you just know that one of these primates is going to end up climbing into the saddle and unleashing hell, most likely in slow motion.

But the idea that director Rupert Wyatt and writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver truly had anything serious in mind seems rather disingenuous. Theres a thin layer of philosophical substance draped over a muscular action picture. The third act makes that clear. At first, though, James Franco is toiling away stoically as Will Rodman, a scientist at a San Francisco-based pharmaceutical company who is doing genetic research in hopes of finding a cure for Alzheimers disease.

Five great movies with street names in the title
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The ultra-low-budget Bellflower, which opens in limited release this weekend, is named for the generic Southern California street where much of the films action takes place the romance and, eventually, the break-up and brutal climax. Providing a sense of place is a crucial part of luring us into a film, and that can start right from the very beginning. So heres a journey through five great movies with street names in their titles. Try not to get lost: Sunset Boulevard (1950): Billy Wilders sharp, biting satire remains one of the most insightful films ever made about Hollywood. All these decades later, the names have changed and the technology has improved but the egos and illusions remain. LAs Sunset Boulevard is where aging silent film star Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) lives in her garish mansion, dreaming of a comeback, and its where writer Joe Gillis (William Holden) narrates from the great beyond while lying facedown in her swimming pool at the start. Holden is the films steady, quick-witted anchor, while Swanson teeters brilliantly on the brink of madness until the very end. She IS big. Its the pictures that got small. Mulholland Dr. (2001): David Lynchs dreamlike Hollywood noir gave us a major star in Naomi Watts. Shes mesmerizing here in multiple roles as both a bright-eyed aspiring actress and a starlet whos seen better days. She and Laura Elena Harring form a giddy, girly friendship that morphs into something darker and more intense. The name comes from the long, winding road that snakes along the top of the mountains that separate Los Angeles from the San Fernando Valley; its where the car crash takes place that sends Harrings character into amnesia and into Watts life. I will admit I did not get Mulholland Dr. when I first saw it, but after multiple viewings, I now find myself drawn to its complicated structure and haunting mood. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984): Despite various sequels, remakes and

reboots, were going with Wes Cravens original here, for sake of argument and because its the best. Cravens core concept that if you die in your dreams, you die in real life was truly disturbing back then, and it provided an exploration of the frightening power of the subconscious. With his jaunty fedora and torn sweater, his hideous, scorched skin and an arsenal of one-liners, child-killer Freddy Krueger (the venerable Robert Englund) could be anywhere at any time. There was no way to stop him. At some point, you have to fall asleep. And the idea that such brutal killings could take place on Elm Street, which sounds like such a safe and familiar place in Anytown, U.S.A., made the horrors hit even closer to home. Miracle on 34th Street (1947): Hes not crazy, hes just Santa. Edmund Gwenn earned an Academy Award for best supporting actor for his portrayal of Kris Kringle in this holiday favorite. Gwenn plays a kindly old man who takes over as Santa Claus at the flagship Macys department store on 34th Street in New York City (hence the title). But he infuses the place with such jolly, ruddy-faced goodness, people begin to wonder whether hes the real deal. When hes deemed delusional and committed to Bellevue, he pleads his case at a legal hearing, becomes a sensation and makes everyone believe in the power of Christmas, including a young Natalie Wood. How are you gonna hate on that? Cloverfield (2008): The title of this low-budget sci-fi thriller helped build its buzz. What is Cloverfield? What could it possibly mean? And what does it have to do with a monster that terrorizes New York? Well, nothing. And thats part of its charm. Cloverfield is the name of a street near producer J.J. Abrams Santa Monica office. Its a code word the filmmakers used to keep the project under wraps but it stuck, adding to the mystery. Director Matt Reeves film is a thrill ride tailor-made for the YouTube generation, with the attack being documented entirely through the perspective of a partygoers hand-held video camera. You know that would be your first instinct, too and that not only gives the film a feeling of authenticity, but makes it more interactive.

With its mixture of romantic road trips and homemade amethrowers, a meet-cute over a cricket-eating contest and a brutally bloody climax, Bellower is the real crazy, stupid love. Its mesmerizing the way Evan Glodells lm changes. You know something horrible is going to happen because ashes of it icker before us at the lms start; they dont make sense but they establish an inescapable tension. Still, Bellower lulls you in with the natural rhythms of its sweetly idyllic, hipster love affair, only to morph into something disturbingly dark and violent. It happens so subtly, you wont believe it occurred before your very eyes. Subtle isnt a word you would apply often here, but its brazenness is part of its allure. Glodell directed, wrote, co-produced, co-edited and stars in this ultra-low budget lm his feature debut which essentially suggests that getting your heart broken is tantamount to the apocalypse. And it can certainly feel like that when youre in the middle of it. But Glodell takes this notion to incendiary heights, and in doing so, has made one of the most wildly creative movies to come along in a while. He even built the camera used to shoot Bellower, which allows for an oversaturation of colors that vividly reects his characters extremes. Thats just one of many examples of how personal this story is for Glodell, who based it on a bad break-up of his own; Bellower might not serve as the best dating video for him. Things are bopping along in hunky-dory fashion at the beginning, though. Woodrow (Glodell) and Aiden (a hugely charismatic Tyler Dawson) spend their days in sun-drenched Southern California crafting Mad Max-inspired weapons and gadgets. (The title comes from the name of the street where much of the action takes place.) Their piece de resistance is The Medusa, a muscle car that shoots ames out the back. Theyre slackers with an imagination as

Bellowerlulls you in with natural rhythms of its sweetly idyllic, hipster love affair, only to morph into something disturbingly dark and violent.
well as a seemingly unlimited supply of cash for beer and cigarettes and the banter between Glodell and Dawson feels so organic, youd swear they truly were lifelong best friends. Then one night at their favorite local bar, Woodrow crosses paths with Milly (Jessie Wiseman) when they both agree to jump on stage and see who can scarf down the most crickets. Shes sexy, funny, irreverent, totally herself and Woodrow is quickly smitten. Aiden, meanwhile, begins a irtation with Millys best friend, Courtney (Rebekah Brandes). When theyre all together, the party never ends. Until one day, it does. Bellower explores the ways in which we convince ourselves that a man or a woman is right for us in the giddy glow of a new relationship, the way we assign ideal characteristics that may or may not actually be there. Woodrows state of mind becomes so unreliable as he sinks deeper into despair over the break-up, we wonder whether Milly was ever as great as she was initially depicted and we wonder whats real as Bellower reaches its explosive conclusion. The combination of insightful truths and imaginative visuals is what makes Bellower so thrilling, and it offers hope that original storytelling is still out there, lurking in the darkness, just waiting for a massive amethrower to light it up.

are stalemated. The biggest holdup is a labor provision in the House long-term bill. Republicans want to overturn a National Mediation Board rule approved last year that allows airline and railroad employees to form a union by a simple majority of those voting. Under the old rule, workers who didnt vote were treated as no votes. The House has made it clear that the anti-worker piece is a priority for them and they also put us on notice that they dont intend to give in. So we are bracing for a new ght in September, said Vince Morris, a spokesman for Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., chairman of a committee that oversees FAA. Last month, in comments to the House Rules Committee and separately to reporters, Mica said the labor provision was the only issue standing in the way of the House and Senate reaching an agreement on a long-term FAA bill. He said Reid, D-Nev., has refused to negotiate with Republicans on the issue. There is only one issue have I not been clear? Its up to Mr. Reid, Mica told the committee. He added that including the subsidy cuts to the extension bill forces the Senates hand to act. Mica has said that hes willing to take provisions from the long-term bill and attach them to future extensions to achieve the policy changes the GOP lawmakers want. Democrats said they worried that if they give in to Republicans on relatively small items like the subsidy cuts, Republicans will be encouraged to demand concessions on the next extension bill, such as the labor provision. Democrats and union ofcials say the proposed labor change puts airline and railroad elections under the same democratic rules required for unionizing all other companies. But Republicans say the new rule reverses 75 years of precedent to favor labor unions. The GOP labor provision has the backing of the airline industry. The biggest beneciary would be Delta Air Lines, the largest carrier whose workers arent primarily union members. Communities targeted for the proposed air service subsidy cuts are Morgantown, W.Va.; Athens, Ga.; Glendive, Mont.; Alamogordo, N.M.; Ely, Nev.; Jamestown, N.Y.; Bradford, Pa.; Hagerstown, Md.; Jonesboro, Ark.; Johnstown, Pa.; Franklin/Oil City, Pa.; Lancaster, Pa.; and Jackson, Tenn. short-term credit harder to get, traders say. One sign of jitters: The yield on the one-month Treasury bill fell into negative territory on Thursday. That meant that lenders would, in effect, pay the U.S. government to hold their cash. Market participants said the falling Treasury yields show that investors still regard U.S. debt as the safest place for their money. There are other ways that Europes problems could be felt across the Atlantic. European banks that cant get credit might stop lending to U.S. banks and hoard their money. U.S. banks borrowing costs would rise. A default by a major European bank would likely have similar effects, potentially sparking a credit crisis like the one caused when Lehman Brothers collapsed in September 2008. Its one of those unknowns thats big enough and scary enough to drag down the (U.S.) markets, said Kurt Karl, chief U.S. economist at Swiss Re. Europe is also an important market for U.S. goods. Companies in the Standard & Poors 500 stock index earn about 20 percent of their profits in Europe, according to Bank of America. Investors have turned their attention this week to a string of data that shows the economy is much weaker than they thought, said Tom Porcelli, an economist at RBC Capital Markets. The recovery is going to be long and drawn out and is going to be more painful than many people appreciated, he said.

FAA
Continued from page 1
The bill includes language that gives Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood the authority to continue subsidized service to the 13 communities if he decides its necessary. Democrats said they expect the administration to effectively waive or negate the cuts. I just know that the White House has provided assurances that they (the communities) will be held harmless, said a Senate Democratic leadership aide who asked not to be named because he wasnt authorized to speak publicly about the deal. But Adam Jentleson, a spokesman for Reid, said that only LaHood can decide how he will use his waiver authority. If President Barack Obama signs the bill over the weekend, FAA employees could return to work and payments for airport construction projects would resume on Monday, transportation ofcials said. The shutdown began when much of Washington was transxed by the stalemate over raising the governments debt ceiling. During that time, the FAA furloughed 4,000 workers but kept air trafc controllers and most safety inspectors on the job. Forty airport safety inspectors worked without pay, picking up their own travel expenses. Some 70,000 workers on construction-related jobs on airport projects from Palm Springs, Calif., to New York City were idled as the FAA couldnt pay for the work. But airline passengers in the busy travel season hardly noticed any changes. Airlines continued to work as normal, but they were no longer authorized to collect federal ticket taxes at a rate of $30 million a day. For a few lucky ticket buyers, prices dropped. But for the vast majority, nothing changed because airlines raised their base prices to match the tax. Some passengers will now be eligible for tax refunds if they bought their tickets before July 23 and their travel took place during the shutdown. As the debt ceiling crisis passed and Congress headed home for its August recess without resolving the standoff, Obama spoke out Wednesday and LaHood urged Congress to return to deal with the issues. Obama expressed dis-

may that Congress would allow up to $1.2 billion in tax revenue to go out the door the amount that could have been lost by the time lawmakers return in September. Reid announced the deal Thursday afternoon, saying it would put 74,000 transportation and construction workers back to work. This agreement does not resolve the important differences that still remain. But I believe we should keep Americans working while Congress settles its differences, and this agreement will do exactly that, Reid said. Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma wont attempt to block passage of the bill when it comes up on Friday, spokesman John Hart said. Coburn blocked several attempts by Democrats to pass an extension bill without the subsidy cuts. The delay was the result of members wanting to protect their parochial interests, Hart said in an email. The partisan standoff that led to the shutdown began last month when Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., the chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, signaled his intention to attach the subsidy cuts to a bill to extend FAAs operating authority through midSeptember. The agency has been operating under a series of 20 short-term extensions since 2007, when the last long-term FAA funding bill expired. Senate Democrats complained that Republicans were breaking precedent by using an extension bill to enact policy changes that hadnt been agreed upon. Even Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas called the measure a procedural hand grenade. Senators refused to pass the House bill, saying to do so would be giving into legislative blackmail and inviting Republicans to up the ante on the next extension bill. Obama, who had scolded Congress on Wednesday for not solving the standoff, expressed relief. Im pleased that leaders in Congress are working together to break the impasse involving the FAA so that tens of thousands of construction workers and others can go back to work, Obama said in a statement. We cant afford to let politics in Washington hamper our recovery, so this is an important step forward. Both the House and Senate passed long-term funding bills for the FAA earlier this year, but negotiations on resolving differences and nalizing those bills ing during the nancial crisis a couple of years ago. But he says theyve grown used to bad economic news and are unfazed by the stock markets short-term gyrations. The question is, how long of a funk do you have to have before those higherend consumers scale back spending? says Doug Hart, a partner in the retail practice of BDO USA. The stock market still has plenty to worry about. Cracks in the European nancial system widened further Thursday as investors worried that Italy and Spain would be unable to pay their debts. Regulators have put banks there through a series of stress tests. The tests are designed to show whether the banks could withstand defaults by their weaker neighbors. Fears of default by smaller, heavily indebted countries such as Greece and Portugal have been replaced by concerns about large Italian and Spanish banks. Some investors also worry that the banks are carrying too much of their home nations debt and that the banks arent reporting the true value of those bonds. Investors fear that the European Unions bailout fund, set up last year to assist indebted countries like Greece, might not be big enough to aid all of the countries facing such problems. Traders are losing faith in the creditworthiness of debt issued by a growing number of countries and in the banks that hold it. Thats causing banks to charge each other more money for overnight borrowing. Its also making

sumer spending. All this comes just as fears of another recession are rising. Many consumers, their wages devoured by high gasoline and food prices, are pinching pennies: In June, they reduced spending for the rst time in 20 months, the government said this week. Cato Corp., which sells budget-priced womens clothing, said Thursday that revenue at stores open at least a year fell 3 percent in July. CEO John Cato said the results reect the difcult economic conditions and uncertainty affecting our customers. Luxury retailers like Tiffany & Co. and Saks Fifth Avenue have remained a bastion of strength. They beneted from a stock rally that started a year ago and made wealthy households even wealthier and willing to spend. MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse says its index of luxury sales at restaurants, food boutiques, department stores and clothiers, surged 12 percent last month. But the Dows plunge could now threaten upscale retailers. The economy, Niemira notes, is more dependent on spending at the high end so (a drop in luxury sales) could have a bigger effect. But James Rushing, a vice president in the retail practice at the consultancy A.T. Kearney, expects high-end shoppers to keep spending. True, they slashed spend-

Most partnerships that arent of a commercial nature will produce personal and solid benefits for you in the year ahead. However, this may not be necessarily true in terms of business, where youre likely to better off operating as independently as you can.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Find that quiet corner free from all outside interference to work out a complicated or tedious problem thats been bothering you lately. Unencumbered, youll find the answer. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You should be able to use to your advantage something beneficial that develops

regarding an endeavor in which youre presently involved. It will elevate your hopes and expectations. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Although it is not unusual for you, your qualities of kindness and consideration for others will be very much in evidence to all with whom youre involved, making you extremely popular. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Any logical evaluations you get are likely to be seasoned with a bit of sensitivity, giving you added wisdom, not just good ideas. People wont be able to help taking you seriously. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Most things you take on will work out extremely well for you because youll instinctively know how to utilize whatever resources you have at your disposal with great efficacy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Things should go

much smoother for you than usual and consequently get you the type of cooperation you want and desire from your mate, partner or special someone. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- This could be an interesting but unexpected day that will be productive, profitable and personally rewarding. Get down to business and dont let frivolous interests distract you. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If there is some kind of assignment or personal project you would like to reorganize and get off to a fresh start, you wont find a better day to do so. Take control instead of letting circumstances control you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Finishing off the workweek with the completion of a project on which youve toiled hard and long will bring you great satis-

faction. Get out and celebrate, if you wish. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Because youre endowed with some impressively strong powers of concentration, use them constructively to sort out a project that youve been finding confusing and difficult. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Although youre better known for rolling the dice rather than for being practical, you wont do anything that isnt well thought out when it comes to your commercial interests. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It could be one of those rare days when youll be able to do most anything you want without too much outside interference. Why not focus your efforts on advancing a personal aim? COPYRIGHT 2011 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
