Woman allegedly stabbed boyfriends bearded lizard
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
How will the scales of justice tip for Speedy? Law enforcement ofcials say the bearded lizard fell victim over the weekend to a knife-wielding San Carlos woman peeved at Speedys owner.
Shawna Kim Apour, 37, reportedly thought her boyfriend of approximately one year was flirting with other women Shawna Apour and took her
frustration out on his 14-year-old pet reptile. Speedy initially survived the injury but has since died. Sheriffs officials say early Saturday morning Apour stabbed the lizard between the shoulders with a knife before going outside the home in the 1000 block of Crestview Drive. She allegedly scrawled the phrase hate crime in
the hood of a 1958 show Buick and vandalized two other cars, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. Police later found Apour wandering a street with the knife which she allegedly brandished at them. Deputies Tasered Apour after she refused to drop the weapon, said Sheriffs Lt. Ray Lunny. Police arrested Apour on suspi-
cion of animal abuse, brandishing a weapon and domestic violence for allegedly striking her boyfriend, Lunny said. She posted $25,000 bail and was given a Sept. 20 court appearance date. However, on Tuesday Apour was back in custody after deputies responded to a 6:49 p.m. call by her

Caltrain:Blended rail feasible option

Local officials weighing plan to limit high-speed rail impact on Peninsula
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A blended rail system proposed by three local high-ranking lawmakers is gaining steam as Caltrain indicates the plan could work. In April, U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, and Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, offered up a plan to keep high-speed trains within Caltrains right-of-way to minimize property takings and greatly reduce the cost of the project. Yesterday, Marian Lee, Caltrains Modernization Program director, told a group of local elected ofcials that the blended system could work with electrication of the corridor and a new signaling system.

The Caltrain corridor can accommodate two high-speed trains an hour in both directions without having Gov.Jerry Brown to add passing backs rail project tracks, accordSee page 3 ing to a draft capacity report the transit agency released yesterday. Initially, the California HighSpeed Rail Authority said it wanted to get at least 10 to 12 high-speed trains into the Transbay Terminal in San Francisco every hour.

THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME
by David L. Hoyt and Jeff Knurek
The 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which guaranteed the right of all American women to vote, was ratied as Tennessee became the 36th state to approve it. In 1587, Virginia Dare became the rst child of English parents to be born on American soil, on what is now Roanoke Island in North Carolina. (However, the Roanoke colony ended up mysteriously disappearing.) In 1838, the rst marine expedition sponsored by the U.S. government set sail from Hampton Roads, Va.; the crews traveled the southern Pacic Ocean, gathering scientic information. In 1846, U.S. forces led by General Stephen W. Kearny captured Santa Fe, N.M. In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King dedicated the Thousand Islands Bridge connecting the United States and Canada. In 1958, the novel Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov was rst published in New York by G.P. Putnams Sons, almost three years after it was originally published in Paris. In 1961, federal appeals court Judge Learned Hand, 89, died in New York. In 1963, James Meredith became the rst black student to graduate from the University of Mississippi. In 1969, the Woodstock Music and Art Fair in Bethel, N.Y., wound to a close after three nights with a mid-morning set by Jimi Hendrix.

Strange but True

Abercrombie asks The Situationto shop elsewhere
NEW YORK The Situation doesnt usually require a lot of motivation to lose the shirt. But Abercrombie & Fitch wants him to go one further the company has offered to pay Jersey Shore cast members to stop wearing clothes carrying their brand. The preppy teen retailer said Tuesday it would pay a substantial payment to Mike The Situation Sorrentino or any cast member who stops wearing its clothing on the popular MTV reality show because the series is contrary to the aspirational nature of the brand. We are deeply concerned that Mr. Sorrentinos association with our brand could cause signicant damage to our image, the retailer said in a press release. It may seem strange that a brand that employs half-naked models to stand outside its agship stores and courted controversy with racy catalogs has come out with such an aggressive campaign against the hard partying cast of Jersey Shore. But the audacious approach is getting the teen retailer tons of publicity during the crucial back-to-school season, the second biggest shopping period of the year. The CEO says its having fun with the ploy, and marketing experts say the company may wind up laughing all the way to the bank. It gets their name further out into the marketplace with one of the hottest brands on TV right now at the peak of the backThe Situation to-school season, said Wall Street Strategies analyst Brian Sozzi. Its free marketing. Because the approach is so ridiculous, everybodys talking about it. Brands usually embrace celebrities or performers who adopt their products in an unsolicited, organic way because of all the attention it can drum up. But sometimes they can have an uneasy relationship. When hip hop stars unofcially adopted luxury champagne Cristal as their drink of choice several years ago, for example, the relationship seemed cozy at rst. But after a company executive made derogatory comments about hip hop culture, high prole rappers like Jay-Z boycotted it. Still, unexpected adaptation can be beneficial. When an urban audience adopted ultra-preppy Tommy Hilger clothes, the brand ended up expanding massively. And now Tommy Hilgers son even is a rapper. The cast of Jersey Shore dont exactly consist of the kind of role models most brands covet. Now lming its fth season, the show has won millions of viewers who tune in to watch a group of hardpartying, foul-mouthed 20- and 30-somethings hanging out, hooking up and behaving raucously. Mike The Situation Sorrentino is one of the most popular, and outrageous, cast members, boasting of a gym-tan-laundry routine and lifting his shirt to show off his abs at every opportunity. CEO Mike Jeffries said the offer to pay cast members came about when someone alerted him Sorrentino was wearing Abercrombie & Fitch on the show. In an Aug. 11 episode, Sorrentino wears neon green AF-label sweat pants. Abercrombie has not disclosed the offering price. But Jeffries struck a light tone about the offer. We are having a lot of fun with it, he said in a conference call with analysts Wednesday. MTV called the move a clever PR stunt by Abercrombie. Wed love to work with them on other ways they can leverage Jersey Shore to reach the largest youth audience on television, the network said Wednesday in a statement.

Gov.not interested in Prop 13 reforms

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Police reports
No time
Nineteen watches worth $7,500 were stolen from an ofce at Cholakian and Associates on Oyster Point Boulevard in South San Francisco before 6:03 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 10.
FRESNO Gov. Jerry Brown on Wednesday turned down a challenge from the mayor of Los Angeles to reform Proposition 13, saying he would prefer to focus his attention on bringing financial stability to California. Brown was responding to comments by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who called on the governor and state lawmakers to think big in solving Californias ongoing scal problems. The mayor suggested the Prop 13 property tax cap be lifted for businesses and left in place for homeowners. Prop 13, however, is seen as untouchable by many politicians in the state because it is so popular with the electorate. During a speech Tuesday before the Sacramento Press Club, Villaraigosa urged the governor to convene a commission on tax reform and estimated that gradually lifting the Prop 13 cap for businesses could raise between $2.1 billion and $8 billion a year money the state could invest in education and lower property taxes for homeowners. Brown rejected the idea after making a luncheon address at Maddy Institute in Fresno.
I would like to be part of the group that gets America to think big again.

The rear plate of a BMW was stolen on Gateway Boulevard before 2:52 p.m. Friday, Aug. 12. Petty theft. Four pairs of shoes were taken from a hotel room at the Travelodge Hotel on South Airport Boulevard before 9:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 11. Petty theft. A case of petty theft was reported at the Costco Wholesale on El Camino Real before 1:50 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 11.
Im not planning to join (Villaraigosa), but I certainly welcome the debate, Brown said. I will focus my attention on ensuring nancial stability and making the state more efcient. Brown did not offer specics beyond saying he plans to support a ballot initiative next year for new revenue. He also said jobs would come by generating condence that California is on stable footing. One way he might do that is through infrastructure investment. Brown said he backs Californias $43 billion high-speed rail project to connect San Francisco and Los Angeles, despite growing criticism about the projects management and cost. He said he would appoint a commissioner to the California High-Speed Rail Authority this week to ll a vacant seat and work to get the authority to get their act together. I would like to be part of the group that gets America to think big again, the governor said
in an interview with The Fresno Bees editorial board. Also Wednesday, the governor named retired Bank of America executive Michael E. Rossi as his adviser on creating jobs. In his Fresno address, the governor defended the austere budget plan he signed in June, decried partisan politics and said Standard & Poors revised outlook for California was a good sign the state is going in the right direction. The Wall Street credit rating agency revised the states long-term ratings outlook from negative to stable after the governor signed the budget. Anti-tax advocates and business groups have criticized Villaraigosas Prop 13 reform idea as an attack on small businesses. The measure can only be changed by a twothirds vote of the Legislature or through a ballot initiative.

Obama: Economy will recover

Governor names retired BofA exec as jobs adviser
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown named a retired Bank of America executive on Wednesday as his senior adviser on how to create jobs in California. The administration announced the appointment of Michael Rossi of Pebble Beach to the unpaid position. He will act as the liaison between the states business and labor leaders and the administration, advising Brown on regulatory, legislative and executive actions needed to promote job growth. Rossi also will work to revamp the states economic development efforts to attract more businesses to California and encourage growth by those already here, said Gil Duran, a spokesman for Browns ofce. He has a good understanding of how business works, Duran said, and has already discussed ideas with Brown on how to streamline state job efforts. Rossi, who is 67, was vice chairman of Bank of America before retiring in 1997. He since has worked with other nance companies, including Cerberus Capital Management and GMAC Residential Capital, and advised the San Francisco 49ers and San Francisco real estate investment rm Shorenstein Properties. The California Chamber of Commerce praised the appointment. It said Rossi, a Democrat, was well-qualied to help Brown remove barriers to job growth and improve Californias business climate as the state struggles with high unemployment.
ALPHA, Ill. Confronting the most public anxiety yet of his Midwestern tour, President Barack Obama sought Wednesday to reassure an audience in his home state of Illinois that the economy would recover, but warned that Washington is not the answer to the nations economic troubles. He conceded that it will take at least a year for housing prices and sales to start rising, a key marker of an improved economy. Obama ended a three-day Midwest bus tour with town hall-style meetings in Atkinson and Alpha, in western Illinois. In both places, he was peppered with questions about regulations on farmers, housing, jobs and the effect of decit reduction on Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security that underscored the anxiety people across the country are feeling in a time of economic uncertainty. He faced the unease as a new Gallup poll found a 26 percent public approval rating of his handling of the economy, the lowest nding of his presidency by the public opinion research organization. In an interview with CBS News, Obama said the nation was not in danger of falling into another recession but was in jeopardy of not having a recovery thats fast enough to deal with what is a genuine unemployment crisis for a whole lot of folks out there, and thats why we need to be doing more. White House ofcials said Wednesday that Obama intends to unveil a jobs package and a plan to reduce the decit in a major speech after Labor Day. Capping the trip near a corneld in Alpha, Obama elded anxious questions about environmental regulations on farmers, the future of government health and welfare programs, and a potential increase in the estate taxes and the hardship that could create for family farmers. At an earlier stop in Atkinson, he tried to reassure his audience that a brighter economy is ahead, but warned but said the federal government is not the answer to whats ailing the economy.

UC to give merit pay raises to some faculty, staff

OAKLAND Many University of California faculty and staff members will be getting their rst pay raises in nearly four years. In a letter to chancellors Wednesday, UC President Mark Yudof explained how departments should distribute merit pay money approved by the Board of Regents in November. UC spokesman Steve Montiel says $140 million will be handed out system-wide to non-union faculty and staff members who earn less than $200,000. Yudof says the merit pay is needed to help retain leading academics who are being courted by competing institutions. He says the university needs to compensate employees who have not received raises in almost four years and were furloughed two years ago because of budget cuts.
WASHINGTON Under re in a nation desperate for jobs, President Barack Obama will soon announce a broad package of tax cuts, construction work and help for the millions of Americans who have been unemployed for months, a White House ofcial said Wednesday. Republicans immediately cast doubt about any such plan, setting up a fresh economic showdown as the presidential campaign intensies. Obama will unveil his economic strategy in a speech right after Labor Day, hoping to frame the autumn jobs debate by pressuring Republicans in Congress to act or face the voters wrath. The country is in a deep state of disgust about Washington politics, piling urgency on both parties to help the economy quickly or somehow position the other side to take the blame.
To pay for his jobs ideas, Obama will challenge the new super committee in Congress to go well beyond its goal of nding $1.5 trillion in decit reduction, with part of the savings used to cover some of his economy-jolting help without sinking the nation deeper in debt. But there, too, Obama already faces trouble from Republican members who have ruled out tax hikes. Its all leading to a sharp campaign for public opinion, the outcome shaping the presidential and congressional elections in 2012. Obama, as the most visible target for voter ire, is seeking re-election with unemployment north of 9 percent. No incumbent in recent times has won a second term with the jobless rate anywhere near that high. The nal details of Obamas new economic plan have not been decided, and it is expected to be broader than the proposals known so far.

Selverio Santos Castro
Selverio Santos Castro died Aug.15 in Burlingame. He was the loving husband of Lydia Anne Castro for 43 years and the beloved father of Marceliano Antonio Castro of San Antonio, Texas and Jonathan Adam Castro of San Mateo. He was the proud and loving grandfather of Isaac Antonio, Isabella Ayanna, Adam Seleverio, Kiana Rae, Kai Antonio, father-in-law of Erica Castro and Yvette Castro and brotherin-law of Mary Lee Hateld and Franklin Eldon Hateld II (deceased). He was born on the island of Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands on June 20, 1937. Castro was one of eight children. His parents Veronica and Antonio, brothers Victorino and Vicente and sister Maria preceded him in death. He is survived by his brother Jose and sisters Rita and Francisca, all of Saipan. Many nieces and nephews, numerous cousins and a warm and loving group of extended family and friends also survive him. Castro and Lydia met and married in the Mariana Islands while she was in the Peace Corps. They moved to California where they worked and raised their children. Castro had a passion for cooking and worked as a fantastic chef even beyond his retirement which led him to his enjoyment in gardening and canning vegetables. His mantra when family and guest would arrive was EAT! Some of his other loves were golf and playing cards, but his priority was his family, especially his grandchildren who he loved more than life itself. He will be their guardian angel forever. Vacations were spent in Hawaii, Truckee and Texas. Castro was able to purchase land in Tahoe Donner years ago and he and Lydia had a house built and spent many summers there golng and playing a bizarre brand of bridge with Kristi and Harold. There was also a wedding at the cabin with much of the extended family in attendance. Lydia says to him, Pot Fabot, mungga malefa yu. Hu guiya hao mas ki langet. The family prefers donations to the charity of your choice. A funeral service will be held at Skylawn Memorial Park, State Route 92 and Skyline Boulevard, San Mateo, CA 94402, at noon Saturday, Aug. 20 with burial to follow. Viewing is from 10 a.m. to noon.
Hackers gain access to BART union site

SAN FRANCISCO Hackers launched another online attack Wednesday against a California transit agency that found itself in the middle of a debate about free speech after it turned off cell phone service in its stations to thwart a potential protest. This time, hackers gained access to the website of the union that represents Bay Area Rapid Transit police and posted personal information on more than 100 ofcers. The ofcers home and email addresses were leaked along with passwords. BART Police Deputy Chief Daniel Hartwig said his ofce was aware of the breach and referred inquiries to the BART Police Officers Association. Union president Jesse Sekhon didnt immediately return a phone call seeking comment. The unions website was disabled later in the day. The hackers group Anonymous announced the most recent breach on Twitter and published the address of the website where the information could be found. However, Anonymous didnt immediately claim responsibility for the hack, as it did when it broke into BARTs marketing website last week and released the personal information of more than 2,000 customers. No one claimed responsibility for the hack, Anonymous said in a Twitter post. Some random joe joined a channel and released the data to the press. BART interim General Manager Sherwood Wakeman condemned the latest attack on the working men and women of BART. We are deeply concerned about the safety and security of our employees and their families, he said in a prepared statement. The two hacks came in apparent retal-

iation for BART cutting wireless communication in its San Francisco stations Thursday night to quell a brewing protest over a police shooting. The agency took that action after demonstration organizers said they would issue last-minute instructions in text messages and on social networks about where to gather and disrupt the evening commute. The demonstration was planned over the July 3 BART police shooting and killing of Charles Blair Hill, 45. The police allege the transient lunged at them with a knife. A demonstration on July 11 over the shooting disrupted the evening commute, as one protester scrambled on top of a train, halting all BART transit in San Francisco for 30 minutes. The decision to cut wireless communication to head off another protest Thursday put the transit agency in the middle of a worldwide debate over free speech, social networks and public safety. The action was compared unfavorably to Hosni Mubaraks attempt to shut Internet access in Egypt before he was forced from ofce by mass demonstrations. BARTs action is widely believed to be the rst time a U.S. governmental agency cut wireless communication to quell a protest. BART chief spokesman Linton Johnson said Tuesday it was his idea to cut the power, and the tactic was vetted by police and approved by the agencys general manager, who previously served as BARTs top attorney. Johnson defended the tactic as legal and appropriate to ensure a safe commute. The planned protest never materialized Thursday and all trains were on time that night. The Federal Communications Commission is looking into BARTs action while the FBI is investigating the hack of mybart.org last week.

STATE GOVERNMENT
The Assembly Appropriations Committee approved legislation authored by state Sen. Leland Yee, DSan Francisco, that would allow courts to review cases of juveniles sentenced to life without parole after 15 years, potentially allowing some individuals to receive a new minimum sentence of 25 years to life. The bill would require the offender to show remorse and be working toward rehabilitation to submit a petition for con-
sideration of the new sentence, according to Yees ofce. It heads to the full Assembly next week.
CITY GOVERNMENT
The San Mateo City Council voted unanimously Monday night to adopt an enforceable obligations payment schedule resolution required by the state to keep the citys Redevelopment Agency intact. The action requires the city to pay the state more than $4 million this year in a lump sum payment to continue to participate in redevelopment activities.

Decrepit jail to shut down,new jail opens
San Francisco County Jail No. 5 was set to open its doors Saturday, Aug. 19, nearly three years after it was scheduled to open. Complaints against the oldest operating county jail in California started in 1945 11 years after its opening. Since then, the jail was deemed unconstitutional and seismically unsafe. The new $108 million facility was built next to the old jail. Complaints with County Jail No. 3 which will be demolished in 2008 were rst made in 1945 by the San Francisco Civil Grand Jury. cut down the waiting list of people eager to improve their lives through better literacy.

If Fitch or Moodys decide to downgrade, Arnott said she would then be required to go to the Board of Supervisors and amend our policy accordingly. This isnt to say the downgrade hasnt had any impact locally. San Mateo County is among three municipalities that dropped Standard and Poors ratings for its investment policy after the downgrade which Arnott said will save $20,000 annually. The downgrade was disappointing since it was based on judgement and not facts. Like other counties and cities, I too have lost faith in S&P, Arnott said.

City calms property seizure fears

San Mateo and Burlingame residents concerned their homes would be taken for a new freeway ramp at Peninsula Avenue had city ofcials at a study session the week of Aug. 19, 2006 attempting to calm their fears while emphasizing that any decision was years away. Part of the confusion was rooted in the fact that Caltrans was beginning work to expand the Peninsula Avenue overpass from two lanes to four while an auxiliary lane is added to Highway 101 and a soundwall moved a little closer to peoples homes.

OPINION
Somalia famine relief

The Globe and Mail, Toronto
In short supply
crisis means some theft of food aid is simply unavoidable. Private militias, many linked to the government, compete to guard or steal food aid. Yet there is an understandable reluctance for U.N. peacekeeping troops to get into the business of protecting food aid, following the disastrous experience in Somalia in 1993, when the downing of two U.S. Black Hawk helicopters led to the collapse of the U.S. mission. Western governments and individuals must instead rally to help the UN meet its urgent appeal for $2.4-billion in aid, support humanitarian groups to deliver food to secure parts of Somalia, and develop innovative initiatives that circumvent issues of safety. encils do they still use pencils? The question, undoubtedly sounding like I need a remedial course in school necessities, came out nonetheless. They have to, I reasoned. What about Scantrons? With the school year kicking off and Sunday newspaper ads chock full of back-to-the-mentalgrind supplies, I wondered just what was it the kids were shoving into their backpacks, purses, lockers and pockets these days. That I had to question shows just how long it has been since Id either been away from the classroom personally or had an in-depth conversation with a current student about how they do their homework. Yet getting new school goodies was one of the things I once loved best about the new year, short of convincing my mom to shell out more than she should for the must-have jeans and shoes that everybody was wearing. For at least a solid week before school, and maybe a week or so in, I was able to harbor the annual delusion of organization while sharpening No. 2 pencils and deciding which subject went rst in the binder. One staple was the Pee Chee, the original orange and not those hideously bright colors they churned out briey in hopes of attracting those not previously keen on the athleticallythemed folders. Cmon, they had inside aps with mathematical and measurement conversion cheat sheets! Or what about Trapper Keepers? What girl didnt have the one with the gray kitten staring wistfully from a wooden barrel? Those zippered pencil and pen holders with three holes that t so neatly in the binder were another must. Binders! Dividers with those obnoxious paper tabs that had to be marked, folded and squeezed into tiny rectangular aps. Highlighters in all colors of the rainbow. These were the moments that instilled a fondness for ofce supplies. A ruler. A baby stapler. A daily planner in paper, no less. A protractor (do I even know what that is anymore?) and, one memorable year, a calculator when math teachers nally caved to the idea students were using them regardless. Fast forward a few years and graphing and scientic calculators became necessary to slog through calculus and differentiate between sines and cosines and all things trigonometrical (Im sure I even had a dictionary to look up such words). Math is no different now, I gured. Students must need pencils for that, unless of course theres been a resurgence of erasable ink pens that no longer tear up binder paper and leave tell-tale proof of changed answers right before class. Yes, we use pencils for math, one of the industrious news room interns explained patiently and kindly without looking at me too much like the old, sad, clueless person Ive become. Scantrons, too, he added ever so generously. Trapper keeper? I asked. Here came the pitying look from the iPad generation. Im obviously no longer the sharpest crayon in the box. School supplies now veer toward the technological and giving the teacher an Apple takes on a whole new meaning. The only thing still manual might be a pencil sharpener and its only a matter of time until theres an app for that, too. After a school career risking shoulder damage from heavy textbooks and thumbing through encyclopedias for answers, I envy those who can now earmark passages on slim e-books and instantly double-check information on Wikipedia. After all, they can still set the barreltrapped kitten as wallpaper not to mention use one device to record, copy, measure, scan, convert, add, divide, make ash cards and do pretty everything short of write a term paper. At least the remaining presence of Scantrons and pencils are comforting. When gauging just how far outside the school loop Ive moved, that is the true test.

western aid groups and continues to deny there even is a famine. These difculties, however, should not dissuade international donors from opening their wallets to help victims of the worst famine in a generation. Somalias children and families who are slowly starving to death should not be abandoned. Food aid cannot be suspended because some is being diverted. Instead, aid groups should focus on identifying those responsible, and taking action against them. The countrys long-standing humanitarian
eports that thousands of sacks of stolen corn and grain are available on the black market in Somalia adds yet another layer of complexity to the challenge of delivering food aid to the starving. The U.N. World Food Program, which is investigating allegations of theft in Mogadishu, has acknowledged that humanitarian supply lines remain vulnerable to looting in the war-ravaged country, and that there is no easy way to resolve this. Somalia has no aid delivery infrastructure. The Islamist al-Shabab militia controls the south, the famines epicenter, but has banned
Letters to the editor

High-speed rail should not be permitted to start at all
Editor, High-speed rail is supposed to start construction in the Central Valley in September 2012. The HSR Authoritys cost estimates as of 2009 indicated it barely had enough money to complete that part of the project, which was estimated to cost $7 billion in 2009. But, this month, the CHSRA released its own environmental impact reports for the Central Valley and those contained new cost estimates which have soared. Instead of costing $7 billion, the CV segment is now estimated to cost between $10 billion and $14 billion (a 50 percent to 100 percent increase). The problem is that the authority only has about 50 percent of the money it will need to complete the CV segment and there is little prospect that more funds will be forthcoming. The authority currently has only about $6 billion in combined federal and state funds (assuming that the project is eligible to receive Proposition 1A bond funds, which is questionable). Given the mood of Congress, and the national debt situation, there is little likelihood of additional federal money; ditto for the state. Why should the project be allowed to start at all if they only have half the money to complete it? If you allow it to start, it will be abandoned with no further funding, untold damages to the valley (blight, properties cut in half, loss of value) and damage to the nancial standing of the state. The feds will take no further interest in the project (highly likely), and California will be left holding the bag. The remedy: halt the project; refuse to issue or sell Prop. 1A bonds. This cuts our losses and potentially rescues the state from a $150 billion plus nightmare which will never pay for itself.
Off-leash dogs in Washington Park

The Daily Journal received a copy of this letter to Burlingame Mayor Terry Nagel and Councilmembers Jerry Deal and Michael Brownrigg: I understand that you (Jerry Deal, Michael Brownrigg and Terr Nagel) voted yes Monday night to allow off-leash dogs in Washington Park during evening hours. This approved time is in addition to early-morning hours when dogs are allowed off leash. There were so many dog owners who abused the old policy that it is hard to understand why you approved the new policy. I always have my dog on a leash when I walk in the park with her in the evening, but now I will have to avoid that lovely area because of the decision you made last night. It is very difcult to enforce a specic start and stop time. How are you going to monitor this three month trial period? Who will be there from the city after hours to see if people are honoring the proposed hours? With all due respect Jerry, Michael and Terry, you do not live near Washington Park and thus do not see the many violations of offleash dogs that occur every day. We who live in the surrounding area of Washington Park do see it. Frankly, people already have dogs off leash at all hours, and when asked to please leash their dog, residents are subjected to verbal abuse from owners. I do not contact police because I feel it is a waste of their precious time and resources. I am disappointed that you have been swayed by a small number of owners who think that they are entitled to a dog park in Washington Park. Thank you Ann Keighran and Cathy Baylock for voting no.

Lemperts column on the new, made-inChina Bay Bridge in his Aug. 4 letter. A union member hammering out nails? Not anymore; the quality of nails is in the metallurgy, fabrication, quality control and automation, and not in contrasting manufacturing in the United States and China. It was the lack of quality control that nearly destroyed our automotive manufacturers: loose nuts and sloppy sealants were just minor problems besides recalls that helped lose brands. Then there are dealers. Peninsula Dodge once sent an oil change, 30-point checkup and tire rotation $30 promotion. Since I own a Dodge Caravan, I took them up on their offer. When we returned, the service manager said they could not change the oil as the oil pan plug nut head had been damaged. They wanted $100 to fix it and they needed my authorization to replace the $39 plug. I asked them if they rotated the tires and conducted the 30-point inspection and they replied that they did nothing more. They blamed the oil change industrys misuse of a wrench, and since they didnt conduct the other work, we left. To their chagrin and the unions, they are out of business. Parenthetically, my son-in-law removed the plug with a vice wrench and replaced it for $6. Yes, China has been remiss in some products and quality control, but we are also to blame for problems, omission and inspections; the last time I checked, PG&E has thousands of union employees so that pipeline welds and inspections falls on them. So who is going to assemble that bridge the union? Even square nails manufactured the old-fashioned way by the village smithy has enough quality to pin their ears back or nail a union coffin shut.

dictory signals in the system now, and its hard to tell which way to go, said Charlie Smith, chief investment ofcer of Fort Pitt Capital Group, which has just over $1 billion in assets under management. Investors are still worried about Europe. Some countries have borrowed so much that they may not be able to repay their bonds, and economic growth there has slowed. Concerns about a possible default by a European country have dominated the market in recent weeks, along with worries about the slow U.S. economy. Another concern Wednesday: Companies are contending with rising costs. Higher food prices helped push ination at the wholesale level to 0.2 percent in July, according to a government report Wednesday. That compares with a 0.4 percent drop in June, but is still well below ination levels earlier this year when violence in the Middle East forced oil prices higher. In February, wholesale prices rose 1.5 percent. Economists say rising inflation reduces the chances that the Federal Reserve could announce another round of bond purchases to help the economy, a move called quantitative easing.
Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market: NYSE Eastman Kodak Co.,up 55 cents at $2.69 The New York Times suggested that the company might be a target for licensing deals or acquisitions because of its trove of patents. Chicos FAS Inc.,down 31 cents at $12.30 A warning from teen retailer Abercombie & Fitch that cost pressures will continue in the second half of the year hurt Chicos shares. Lorillard Inc.,up $3.22 at $108.38 The tobacco company sued the FDA, saying new, graphic warning labels required on cigarette packs violated their First Amendment rights. Flowers Foods Inc.,down $2.03 at $19.28 Rising costs for packaging and ingredients hurt the bakery companys quarterly results, and it cut its prot outlook for the year. Barnes & Noble Inc.,down $1.53 at $12.99 John Malones Liberty Media is now considering not buying the bookstore chain, says an unnamed person in a Reuters report. Nasdaq Dell Inc.,down $1.60 at $14.20 The PC maker cut its revenue forecast for the year amid worries about how the weak economy is affecting demand for new computers. Blue Coat Systems Inc.,down $4.37 at $13.31 The provider of network security products warned that its second-quarter results would fall short of Wall Street predictions. First Solar Inc.,down $5 at $99.46 Goldman Sachs cut its price target on the solar companys shares by 14 percent to $150 and took it off its Conviction Buylist.
NEW YORK Stocks rose modestly Wednesday after companies reported higher earnings but gave mixed forecasts about how the fragile economy and rising costs will affect their growth. Target Corp., Staples Inc. and Dell Inc. reported earnings for last quarter that were above analysts forecasts. Companies in the Standard & Poors 500 are on track to report higher prots for a ninth straight quarter. But economic growth is weak around the world, and some economists worry that a second recession may be coming. That could hurt companies earnings in the future and kept investors from buying with more enthusiasm Wednesday. Dells forecast added to investors concerns: It cut its prediction for revenue growth this year. Target and Staples gave prot forecasts that were above Wall Streets expectations. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 4.28 points to 11,410.21. The S&P 500 rose 1.13, or 0.1 percent, to 1,193.89. The Nasdaq composite fell 11.97, or 0.5 percent, to 2,511.48. Seven of the 10 sectors that make up the S&P 500 rose. The biggest drops came from technology stocks, which fell 0.8 percent after Dell cut its forecast. There are a whole bunch of contra-
The new American gold rush

By Sarah DiLorenzo
NEW YORK For what is normally a sleepy month, there are so many customers at the Gold Standard, a New York company that buys jewelry, that it feels like Christmas in August. Uncle Bens Pawn Shop in Cleveland has never seen a rush like this. Welcome to the new American gold rush. The price of gold is on a remarkable run, setting a record seemingly every other day. Stomach-churning volatility in the stock market this month has only made investors covet gold more. Some want it as a safe investment for turbulent times. What worries some investors is that many others are buying simply because the price is rising and they want to make money fast. Is gold the next bubble? asks Bill DiRocco, a golf company manager in
Overland Park, Kan., who shifted 10 percent of his portfolio earlier this year into an investment fund that tracks the price of gold. He stopped buying because the price kept rising. In October 2007, it sold for about $740 an ounce. A little over a year later, it rose above $1,000 for the rst time. This past March, it began rocketing up. On Wednesday, it traded above $1,793 an ounce, just shy of last weeks record of $1,801. Meanwhile, stocks, despite rising sharply in the last two and a half years, are only slightly higher in price than they were a decade ago. Since hitting a record high in October 2007, the Standard & Poors 500 index is down 23 percent. Gold hits a sweet spot among the elements: Its rare, but not too rare. Its chemically stable; all the gold ever mined is still around. And it can be divided into small amounts without losing its properties.
Ultimately, though, gold is valuable because we all agree it is. It was used around the world as a currency for thousands of years, and then it gave value to paper currencies for a couple of hundred more. Now, in a time of turmoil, from the credit downgrade and debate over raising the debt limit in the U.S. to the growing nancial crisis in Europe to worries of slow growth across the globe, gold is dazzling investors. Since the nancial crisis in 2008, central banks around the world have bought gold as a hedge against their foreign currency holdings. Earlier this month, South Korea announced it had bought gold for the rst time in more than 10 years. Gold is an effective hedge in a world where there is too much debt and uncertainty, says Jim McDonald, chief investment strategist at Northern Trust, which owns $2.8 billion of gold in a gold fund.
Google-Motorola deal highlights patent arms race

By Peter Svensson
NEW YORK When an Internet company plunks down $12.5 billion to buy a struggling cellphone company for its collection of patents, its another sign that, for the high-tech industry, patents have become a mallet wielded by corporations to pummel their competitors. Google Inc. announced the deal to buy Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. on Monday, specically for its trove of 17,000 patents. Google needs them to shield companies like HTC Corp. and
Samsung Electronics Co. who make phones based on Googles Android software from lawsuits led by Microsoft Corp. and Apple Inc. Google is not acquiring Motorola for the sake of its technology or its research, said James Bessen, a lecturer at Boston University and co-author of a book on the patent system. Patents have become legal weapons theyre not representing ideas anymore. The trend, decades in the making, raises questions that pending patent legislation in Washington only begins to answer.
Googles multi-billion bid to get its hands on Motorolas output of legal paperwork is the culmination of a bubble in the value of patents relating to smartphones that started last year, as Microsoft and Apple mounted their legal attack. Industry watchers say that bubble may deate now that Google is set to gain the protection of Motorolas patents in a deal thats set to close late this year or early next. But an underlying problem will keep growing: patent lings and lawsuits that distract companies and sap resources that are better spent on other things.
Drug company lawyer taped trying to foil lawsuit

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
WASHINGTON International business can be an ethical jungle, but its rare to get details of bare-knuckle tactics on tape. According to a recording and sworn testimony provided to the Associated Press, a lawyer in Mexico for a leading
U.S. drug manufacturer offered to pay an opposing expert in a lawsuit if he would leave the country on a key court date to undermine the case. The company, Baxter International Inc., promotes itself as a champion of global anticorruption efforts. Baxter said the lawyer was not authorized to make any offers, and it has severed all ties with him. The recording and its disclosure offer
an unusual glimpse of shy maneuvers in the global marketplace and come as the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission crack down on misconduct by U.S. companies abroad, part of a multinational effort to clean up commerce. Based near Chicago, Baxter is a major manufacturer of intravenous drugs and medical devices.

Core wholesale inflation up

By Christopher S. Rugaber
Business briefs
Synopsys 3Q results beat Wall Street estimates
MOUNTAIN VIEW Synopsys Inc., which makes software used to test and develop chips, said Wednesday that its net income in the latest quarter increased 33 percent and beat Wall Streets estimates. The company reported net income of $52 million, or 35 cents per share, for the three months ended July 31, the scal third quarter. That compares with net income of $39 million, or 26 cents per share, a year earlier. Excluding special items, the company earned 46 cents per share for the latest quarter. Wall Street on average had expected Synopsys to earn 43 cents per share excluding special items. Synopsys had $387 million in revenue in the latest quarter, a 15 percent increase from $337 million a year ago. That was slightly above the $383 million expected by analysts polled by FactSet. Synopsys Chairman and CEO Aart de Geus said semiconductor design activity is continuing unabated, driven by demand for mobile devices, Internet-based computing services and electronics components in many products.
WASHINGTON A key measure of wholesale ination rose in July by the most in six months. The measure, called core wholesale ination, excludes volatile food and energy prices. It surged 0.4 percent last month. But most economists say they arent concerned about the increase. One reason is that it was driven largely by costlier tobacco products and pickup trucks, which economists say are probably one-time events. Raw material prices also fell in July. Those gures should lead to lower wholesale prices in coming months. And the costs of components are rising more slowly than the costs of the nished goods calculated in the ination measure. The Federal Reserve and private economists tend to focus on core ination. Its seen as a better predictor of price changes than overall ination is. Higher wholesale prices tend to raise pressure on department stores, groceries and restaurants to pass along higher costs to consumers. But that will be difcult now at a time of high unemployment and stagnant wages, which have caused consumers to tighten spending. Combined with falling oil and gas prices, lower consumer spending should slow inationary pressures, economists say. Wednesdays Labor Department report on the Producer Price Index reflects price changes in goods before they reach consumers. The overall index, which includes energy and food, rose 0.2 percent in July. That follows a 0.4 percent drop in June, the rst decline in 17 months. Gas prices fell for the second straight month. Food costs rose by the most since February. Tobacco prices, which are affected by seasonal factors, jumped 2.8 percent. That was

the largest increase in more than two years. Truck prices rose 1 percent. But that mostly reflects supply shortages stemming from Japans earthquake. The impact of those disruptions has started to fade, based on other gures. Overall, these data do little to alter our belief that most of the recent surge in core consumer price ination is temporary and that it will fall back next year, said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist with Capital Economics. Over the past 12 months, the PPI has jumped 7.2 percent. Thats up sharply from earlier this year, though below Mays 7.3 percent rise, the biggest in 2 1/2 years. The core index has risen 2.5 percent in the past 12 months, the most since June 2009. On Thursday, the government will report on consumer prices for July. Economists predict that core consumer prices rose just 0.2 percent, half the increase in core wholesale prices. Bricklin Dwyer, an economist at BNP Paribas, said a smaller increase in core consumer prices would suggest that retailers are reluctant to raise prices. That trend would help keep broader ination in check. Consumers are seeing some relief from high gas prices, which are expected to keep falling. Earlier this year, food and gas prices spiked and caused the PPI to jump 1.5 percent in February, after a 1 percent rise the previous month. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has faced criticism that the Feds policies are contributing to higher ination. The Fed has kept the short-term interest rate it controls at nearly zero since December 2008.
South Koreans sue Apple over iPhone user information

SEOUL, South Korea A group of some 27,000 South Koreans is suing Apple for $26 million for what they claim are privacy violations from the collection of iPhone user location information. Each person in the suit is seeking 1 million won ($932) in damages, Kim Hyeong-seok, one of their attorneys, said Wednesday. He said they are targeting Apple Inc. and its South Korean unit to protect privacy rights. Apple spokesman Steve Park in Seoul declined to comment. Apple has faced complaints and criticisms since it said in April that its iPhones were storing locations of nearby cellphone towers and Wi-Fi hot spots for up to a year. Such data can be used to create a rough map of the device owners movements.

NCAA needs to change

ational Collegiate Athletic Association President Mark Emmert convened a conference last week of dozens of university and college presidents to discuss changing how the NCAA conducts business. Given the University of Miami bombshell that dropped Tuesday, perhaps Emmert was just foreshadowing things to come. To summarize, a former University of Miami athletic booster, who is serving 20 years for a Ponzi scheme, has come clean to Yahoo!Sports reporter Charles Robinson, detailing eight years of improper payments and benets ranging from money to prostitution to Miami football and basketball players. Heck, even assistant coaches and the president of the school itself have been implicated. Nevin Shapiro laid it all out for Robinson, who conrmed the claims through one of the best pieces of investigative journalism ever. Granted, Shapiros allegations must be taken with a grain of salt. He is, after all, a convicted felon. But considering he is already serving time, its not as if his revelations will impact his prison sentence. But considering all the work Robinson did, its hard to argue Shapiro is lying. If there was ever a situation that called for
On Wednesday, two teams separated by an ocean and more than 6,000 miles came together on a court in Redwood City and spoke the same language: basketball each bounce of the ball was a word, each pass a sentence, each bucket a symbol of unison. For a couple of days now, the Panthers Basketball Club, coached by Steven Diaz, has known that theyd be lacing up their hightops to face off against a team from Shanghai, China, who was on the west coast of the United States on tour. It was a team comprised of top-level talent from the Far East whos average height was 5foot 11 and had girls as tall as 6-foot-5. The Shanghai Lu-Wan District Sports School team had won ve high school championships and another ve national championships. I expected them to be blocking every single shot of mine and being killed because of my size, said Sydney Albin, one of the players on the Panthers squad who attends Sequoia High in Redwood City. I expected them to be killing us in rebounds, but we got them, we got rebounds, we got points, we did really well, we pushed the ball up the court. I thought their press would give us problems but we played well. Actually, the Panthers played well enough to win Wednesday night at the Red Morton Community Center.

NCAA has been investigating Miami for five months

By Steven Wine
CORAL GABLES, Fla. With investigators ve months into checking allegations that a Ponzi scheme artist spent freely on University of Miami athletes, the NCAA president said Wednesday that if the claims are conrmed they show the need for fundamental change in college sports. Former Hurricanes booster Nevin Shapiro,
now serving 20 years in federal prison, claims he provided players with cash, prostitutes, cars and other gifts from 2002 to 2010. Shapiro told Yahoo Sports that 72 football players and other athletes at Miami received improper benets from him in the past decade. If the assertions are true, the alleged conduct at the University of Miami is an illustration of the need for serious and fundamental change in many critical aspects of college sports, NCAA president Mark Emmert said in a statement.
The Hurricanes entire football team practiced Wednesday, even though Shapiros claims involve several current players. Coach Al Golden said it was too soon to take disciplinary action. His team opens the season Sept. 5 against Maryland. Last week, Emmert led a group of university presidents in drafting an outline for change in college sports. The group included Miami president Donna Shalala. The serious threats to the integrity of college
sports are one of the key reasons why I called together more than 50 presidents and chancellors last week to drive substantive changes to Division I intercollegiate athletics, Emmert said in his statement. In the past 18 months, the football teams at Southern California, Ohio State, Auburn, Oregon, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia Tech and LSU each have been investigated or sanctioned by the NCAA.

off with a single, Coco Crisp walked and Hideki Matsui hit a bloop single into shallow center. Josh Willingham followed with a two-run double when the ball was misplayed by left elder Nolan Reimold, and Allens sacrice y made it 3-2. Allen is quickly becoming a reliable regular since the As acquired him from Arizona at the trade deadline and called him up from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday. Starting the past ve games, he is batting .533 (8 for 15). Allen keeps doing his part and then some. He tripled for the second straight day and scored on the third-inning play. Leaping center elder Adam Jones made an error when Allens ball came off the wall and bounced over his head. Jones then bobbled the ball trying to pick it up from the ground. Manager Bob Melvin indicated before the game that Allen will continue to get steady playing time at rst base even once Conor Jackson returns. Jackson missed his fourth straight game with a stiff neck. J.J. Hardy ended an 0-for-18 funk with a rstinning single off Brandon McCarthy to get Baltimore going. But it didnt last as the Orioles gave the runs right back in the bottom of the inning. Markakis hit a solo homer in the sixth and Josh Bell had an RBI single in the seventh that chased McCarthy. The right-hander allowed four runs and eight hits in six-plus innings. Fautino De Los Santos and Grant Balfour each pitched a scoreless inning before Bailey survived the rocky ninth. McCarthy (6-6) was back on the mound after taking a line drive off his right knee in a 9-1 loss to Texas his last time out. By Paul Newberry

at least three runs, the majors only undefeated team in those situations. The win came at a good time for the struggling Giants, whove been plagued by injuries and were knocked out of rst in the NL West with a stretch of only ve wins in 18 games. They closed to 2 1/2 games behind Arizona in the division race and with ve games of wild card-leading Atlanta. The Giants broke open a 1-all game in the fourth. Aubrey Huff led off with a double, Nate Schierholtz singled and Cabrera brought home the go-ahead run with the third hit in a row. Brandon Belt walked to load the bases, and Eli Whiteside pushed the lead to 3-1 with another run-scoring single. Back-to-back drives to the warning track made it 5-1. Cain hit a sacrice y to deep center, and Cody Ross followed with a liner that was caught in front of the left-eld wall, allowing Belt to trot home. Jurrjens wasnt exactly fooling the Giants even when his teammates caught the ball. Schierholtz hit one to the track in right that was hauled in by Jose Constanza. San Francisco closer Brian Wilson wasnt available to pitch after ying to Florida to have his ailing right elbow checked out. Its nothing serious, but manager Bruce Bochy decided to give Wilson a second night off to rest his arm. The way Cain pitched, Wilson wasnt needed. San Francisco jumped ahead in the rst on back-to-back doubles by Mike Fontenot and Pablo Sandoval. The Braves tied it up in the bottom half, taking advantage of a miscue by Sandoval at third base.
OAKLAND Kurt Suzuki hit two solo homers and right elder David DeJesus cut down pinch-runner Blake Davis at the plate to end the game, helping the Oakland Athletics edge the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 on Wednesday. It was the second career multihomer game for Suzuki, who connected in the second and sixth against Alfredo Simon (36). Brandon Allen tripled and scored on the same play and also had a sacrice y for the As, who snapped a four-game losKurt Suzuki ing streak Tuesday night and followed that up with another victory for a winning series. DeJesus ubbed Nick Markakis RBI single but recovered to make a strong throw to Suzuki, who tagged Davis to deny the Orioles the tying run. It also preserved Andrew Baileys 15th save after he gave up three hits in the ninth. The Orioles were going for their rst road series win since mid-May and a winning season series with Oakland for the rst time since going 8-3 in their 1998 matchups. The As won this years meetings 5-4. Suzuki also hit two home runs on June 3, 2010, at Boston. Seven of Oaklands nine hits went for extra bases. Adam Jones had a sacrice y and Vladimir Guerrero, a familiar Oakland nemesis from his days with the rival Angels, added an RBI double as Baltimore took a quick 2-0 lead in the rst. The As loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom half against Simon. Jemile Weeks led
ATLANTA Matt Cain snapped his threegame losing streak with ve-hit ball over eight innings, and the San Francisco Giants barely avoided another loss to Atlanta in the nal atbat, holding on for a 7-5 victory over the Braves on Wednesday night. The Giants broke it open with four runs in the fourth, one of them driven in by Cain (10-9) on a sacrice y. But he did his best work on the mound, striking out nine and giving up only an unearned Matt Cain run in the rst on Chipper Jones bases-loaded walk. After Cain left, the Braves scored four runs in the ninth and had the tying run at the plate. But Brian McCann struck out swinging against Jeremy Affeldt. San Francisco pounded All-Star Jair Jurrjens (12-5), taking advantage of a pitcher who wasnt sharp in his rst start coming off the disabled list. He surrendered eight hits and ve runs in six innings. The Braves won the rst two games of the series, rallying for three runs in the ninth for a 5-4 victory Monday, then pulling out a 2-1 win in 11 innings on Tuesday. They nearly did it again, closing to 7-5 on Martin Prados tworun double after Giants shortstop Orlando Cabrera dropped Michael Bourns soft blooper behind the mound to extend the inning. But Affeldt got McCann to end it. Once the Giants pushed their margin above three runs, Atlanta was in big trouble. San Francisco improved to 32-0 when leading by

While I was athletics director, the benets and experiences Mr. Shapiro received were consistent with those provided to others at his membership level.I never personally approved any special access for Mr.Shapiro.
Kirby Hocutt,former Miami athletic director
THE DAILY JOURNAL
NCAA
Continued from page 12
Shalala said she was upset, disheartened and saddened by Shapiros allegations. We will vigorously pursue the truth, wherever that path may lead, and I have insisted upon complete, honest and transparent cooperation with the NCAA from our staff and students, Shalala said in a statement. Most cases are resolved in six to seven months, but more complex investigations take longer, an NCAA ofcial said. Shapiro was sentenced to prison in June for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi scheme, plus ordered to pay more than $82 million in restitution to investors. He gave 100 hours of jailhouse interviews to Yahoo Sports, the website reported. NCAA investigators were on the Miami campus this week and have interviewed Shalala and Shawn Eichorst, who was hired as athletic director in April to replace Kirby Hocutt. Golden, who is in his rst year as Miamis coach after Randy Shannon was red, said hes eager to obtain answers quickly, in part so his players dont repeat past mistakes. If they were exposed to Mr. Shapiro, clearly we have to make sure we prevent that going forward, Golden said. How did this guy, if he did, get around our players like that? ... We want to make sure it never happens again. It shouldnt happen. Yahoo Sports published its story Tuesday, saying in addition to the Shapiro interviews conducted over 11 months, it audited thousands of pages of nancial and business records to examine his claims, some involving events nearly a decade ago. The NCAAs four-year statute of limitations doesnt apply when there is a pattern of willful violations that continues into the past four years. A person familiar with the situation said much of Shapiros access to Hurricane programs in recent years was approved by Hocutt, who is now at Texas Tech. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation. Hocutt, the person said, allowed Shapiro on the sideline before football games at times during the

2008 season, plus invited him to select gatherings reserved for the athletic departments biggest donors. Thats what Kirby did, the person said. His No. 1 job was to raise money and this Nevin Shapiro guy was one of the few people Kirby could get to write checks. In a statement, Hocutt said Shapiro was treated like other members of the Hurricane Club. While I was athletics director, the benets and experiences Mr. Shapiro received were consistent with those provided to others at his membership level, Hocutt said. I never personally approved any special access for Mr. Shapiro to university athletics events or programs. Larry Coker, who coached the Hurricanes in 2001-06, said he had not been contacted by the NCAA or Miami about the investigation. Any coach or athletic direction involved in the case who now works at another school could be subject to NCAA punishment if found guilty of a violation. The AP interviewed more than a dozen former Hurricanes, and their reactions ranged from denials of involvement to declining comment. New York Giants safety Antrel Rolle declined to discuss the allegations but said Shapiro is mad about being in prison and directing his emotions at the Hurricanes. There is a lot of drama going on, and its all caused by one guy, one angry guy, Rolle said. Obviously he is on a rampage to cause havoc. Miami was once among the best and most intimidating teams in college football, but Shapiro was around the program during a period of only modest success for the Hurricanes, who won their most recent national championship in 2001.
Not only is it one of the gold standard community college baseball programs in Northern California on and off the diamond, the College of San Mateo continues to show that theyre one of the best in moving their players to the next level. CSM manager Doug Williams recently release his latest list of four-year transfers. Its another impressive list consisting of 10 players (four pitchers and six position players) moving on to four-year programs, including seven receiving scholarships. Leading that list is All-Everywhere reliever Josh Fredendall, who is taking his talents up to the University of Washington. Fredendalls sophomore season, which seemingly came out of nowhere, was superb. The former Hillsdale Knight appeared in 12 games for the Bulldogs, posting a 3-0 record along the way. Fredendall struck out 33 in 36 innings, with opposing batters hitting a laughable .120 against him. All this equated to Fredendall surrendering only one earned run and one extra base hit all season long good for a .025 earned run average. Frendendall was a unanimous choice for the All-Coast Conference team. He also earned a spot in the All-Northern California squad and a couple of All-American teams. Joining Fredendall on the transfer list from the strong CSM pitching staff is Devin Bradley, who received a scholarship from Coastal Carolina University in South Carolina. The former Carlmont Scot went 5-2 with a 1.57 ERA in 10 starts for the Bulldogs. That was after going 6-1 in six starts the season before. For his career, the right-hander pitched in 121 innings, surrendering only 28 earned runs. Opponents hit .241 against him in his career. He also made the All-Conference team. Also transferring are Doug Caldwell, who will be attending St. Marys College on a scholarship. Caldwell posted a 4.02 ERA in 14 relief appearances. Opponents hit .225 against him in 15 2/3 innings pitched. He surrendered 19 hits and 10 runs while walking only one.
Zach Sanford received a scholarship to Sonoma State University. He went 1-1 in four starts. He struck out 13 and opponents hit .228 against him. Off the mound, the Bulldogs are sending six players to the next level. Chief among them is Justin Maffei, the former Serra Padre. Maffei was Mr. Everything for the Bulldogs in his two years wearing the blue and white. Maffei followed an impressive 2010 (.365 average, three home runs, 30 RBI, 18 steals) with an equally solid 2011. The center elder hit .324 in 24 starts. He led the team in runs (33), hits (44), doubles (11), triples (2), home runs (3), total bases (68), hit by pitch (11) and steals (19). He was also second in RBI with 25 and posted a .986 elding percentage. Maffei accepted a scholarship to play for the Dons at the University of San Francisco. Heading west to the University of Hawaii is Joe Goldenberg, who came to CSM this season from Southern Utah. Goldenberg was another All-Coast player who lead the Bulldogs with 27 runs batted in. He also hit .323 in 22 starts and posted a .900 OPS. Joining Sanford at Sonoma State will be Sean Walters, who in 23 starts hit .269 with a .400 on-base percentage. He drove in 22 runs for the Bulldogs. Grifn Kirsch is heading to the University of Nevada at Reno to play for the Wolfpack. He hit .293 for CSM and stole 17 bases in 17 attempts. Nate Bobrowski accepted a scholarship to play for St. Edwards College. Riley Goulding is will play for the University of Texas Pan American. He had a .653 OPS for San Mateo last season. A player who isnt going anywhere is Clay Bauer. The Coast Conference Co-pitcher of the Year was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in June. He has since decided to play out his sophomore season at CSM. Bauer was 6-2 for the Bulldogs in 2011, with a 2.18 ERA in 12 starts and 66 innings of work. He allowed 55 hits and only 16 earned runs, while walking 15 and striking out 42. Opponents hit .227 against him and only managed eight extra-base hits all season long.

wants to read my name. Morgan wants to give her something to read about, too. With newcomer Braylon Edwards still the Joshua Morgan learning offense and Michael Crabtree injured for training camp, Morgans repetitions have increased. He is part of a receiving corps expected to make big strides under new coach Jim Harbaugh, and already Morgan is taking on an integral role in the West Coast offense. First step: paying homage to past 49ers. The new staff gave Morgan old game lm to study on receiving greats Jerry Rice and John Taylor. The revamped offense has Morgan moving into more of a slot role running slants and shorter routes, the kind the 49ers perfected when Joe Montana was under center for Super Bowl winners. Its like heaven, Morgan said. Every time you get it, you know you might take it 80. Morgan has a long way to go to gain any ground on those Niners legends. The 6-foot-1 receiver caught 44 passes for 698 yards and two touchdowns last season, showing only glimpses of what he could be in a reduced role. San Francisco sputtered to a 6-10 record and missed the playoffs for the eighth straight year, and the offense specically the passing game was a big reason why. Harbaugh has tried to deflect attention away from Alex Smith and the quarterbacks, holding receivers and the offensive line more accountable. He believes if every player, notably the receivers, improves so will the rest of the offense. They are about the unit being successful, and I think thats when they are going to be the most happy, when they see the team having success, Harbaugh said. Part of that process is getting the receivers more involved. Harbaugh plans to have the wideouts do more on almost every play

Morgan looking to make new name for himself

By Antonio Gonzalez
SANTA CLARA Josh Morgan is out to make a new name for himself with the San Francisco 49ers in more ways than one this season. The sure-handed receiver is shedding his nickname at the request of his grandmother, who gave him the Biblical name Joshua. She lives near his hometown in Washington, D.C., and cant watch most of his games. Shes real old school. She doesnt get on planes or nothing like that, Morgan said Wednesday. They basically dont play our games on the East Coast, so she said when she reads about them, she
even if its just being more involved in blocking. And perhaps nobody will be affected by the new approach more than Morgan, who will likely be overshadowed by Edwards, Crabtree and tight end Vernon Davis. Its become somewhat of an irrelevant position in terms of catching two or three balls a game and not running hard on the back side of routes, not getting in there and blocking, Harbaugh said of the receivers. Id like to see our group be that group that they are relevant on 60 plays a game, where they are running hard on the back side of the route just like it was the front side of the route, blocking, doing all the things that a football player would do when they dont have the ball.
Little Leaguers hope to make history at World Series

By Genaro C. Armas
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. Montana had never had a team in the Little League World Series. So, a couple weeks ago, 12-year-old Andy Maehl asked his Billings coach if their team was ready to make history. He kept asking me the question every ve minutes, coach Mark Kieckbusch said Wednesday in recalling the talk with the catcher at the regional tournament. I thought, What are you, crazy? Prophetic? Yes. Crazy? Not so much. The mashers from Montana have made it all the way to South Williamsport, joining 15 other teams hoping to make the triumphant trot
around the Lamade Stadium warning track with a World Series championship banner. First pitch is Thursday, with Taiwan and Mexico leading off a four-game slate. Just to think, in 65 years, Maehl said Wednesday after batting practice, were the only team from Montana to do that. Kieckbusch watched nearby, his shirt soaked in sweat after an hour watching swings in the cage. To go down as the rst Montana team ever, Maehl said, thats really cool. The 65th World Series is peppered with other intriguing story lines, like the hometown favorites from Clinton County, Pa., who stormed through the Mid-Atlantic region to claim the nal
berth in the series on Monday. The Keystone Little League boys went straight from the regional nal in Bristol, Conn., to the Little League complex, even though their homes are just about 30 miles southwest in rural central Pennsylvania. So, it comes as no surprise to expect a big crowd Friday when Pennsylvania plays LaGrange, Ky., under the lights at Lamade Stadium. This is really exciting because Ive been wanting to get here my whole life and play on this eld, Pennsylvania outelder Mike Keibler, 12, said. Ive watched the kids that were on there and it looked like a really cool eld. But the pressure isnt affecting Keibler or the rest of his teammates. These are mainly 11- and 12-year-
olds, after all. The best thing about the dorms is the games, he said. There are video games, theres ping pong, and my favorite air hockey. The World Series format was tweaked slightly this year, with an extra day tacked on to make it an 11day marathon to championship Sunday on Aug. 28. The change will help give teams added time to develop a pitching strategy as a result of Little Leagues strict pitch count rules. Also, the eight-team U.S. and international brackets are no longer each divided into two four-team divisions. Double-elimination rules remain until the tournaments nal weekend. Wednesday, though, was all about getting the last few swings in the bat-
ting cage. The elds were abuzz with activity on a picture-perfect summer afternoon as the familiar ping of metal bats resonated. On the Mexico team, shortstoppitcher Carlos Arellano seemed far from home on his 13th birthday. Keep in mind, while most participants are pre-teens, 13-year-olds are eligible so long as they were 12 on April 30. The team had a chocolate birthday cake for Arellano and teammate Ulises Rodriguez, who turns 13 on Thursday. Arellanos favorite player? His father, who goes by the same name. He played in the minors. But the younger Arellano wants just one gift this year ... and its not from his father. Win the rst game tomorrow, he said.

The easiest solution would be to ban athletic boosters altogether, but that would hurt the schools that do abide by NCAA laws. Perhaps the answer is to just ban booster groups at big name schools. Universities such as Miami, North Carolina, Ohio State and USC four schools that have recently run afoul of the NCAA have millions in donations pouring in anyway, they could probably do without the money from athletic boosters. Boosters, however, are just a symptom of the malaise that has infected college sports. What was once considered just a part of the college experience has developed into a billion-dollar business, with the players getting the short end of the stick. While the schools, coaches and administrators get lthy rich, players have a hard time scraping together enough change to afford a pizza on a Friday night. When 18-, 19and 20-year-old players many from impoverished backgrounds have money, women and fun ashed in front of them, what do you expect them to do? Sure, the ethical move would be to turn down those perks to avoid having their school run into problems. But the reality is, in most cases, those players will be opening up more in the second half. It was a chemistry the Panthers had to forge on the y; the girls said this was the rst time the entire team was on the court together. I think we played really well, Albin said. This was a our rst time working together (with) a lot of the girls and we pulled off a win. They were big, we were small, we still won. I thought we played well. said Alaina Woo, the third member of the Panthers to call Sequoia home. There were a lot of girls. I only knew Sydney and Balou so it was different girls coming together. We played man-to-man, we were able to communicate on the oor and we kind of balanced it out and ended up with the win. Part of the task on Wednesday wasnt just forming a team after just meeting your teamlong gone before there are any repercussions. They gure, Might as well get mine, considering the university is making millions off me. Emmerts proposed revamping of the NCAA rulebook may be too little, too late, however. I read a report that said there have been ongoing talks among the biggest programs in the nation to break away from the NCAA and form their own organization, which will have separate rules. Perhaps thats not a bad idea. Everyone knows that the biggest and best programs in the country are not in the market to graduate student-athletes. Theyre just trying to make a buck. The players themselves are just as culpable, whose only goal is to become a professional athlete, school be damned. Considering there are already Division I, II and III championships (in addition to NAIA championships), why doesnt the NCAA just create an Open division, much like the Central Coast Section does for high school football? In response to grumblings from many public schools about the best teams in the section (read: West Catholic Athletic League) dominating the other divisions of CCS, CCS mates, but trying to gauge the talent of the highly-hyped squad from China. I was expecting athletes really quick, long, athletes, Woo said. And thats what we got. Basketball-wise, I had no idea what to expect because I didnt know how much experience they would have but they denitely had some titles and stats to their name so that was something that was kind of intimidating. But I knew that once we got on the court, wed be able to run with anyone they put up against us. It was denitely a balanced game. It was balanced up until the start of the second half, when the Panthers came out on a 10-2 to start, building a 12-point cushion in the process. It was a lead they would never surrender and would increase to as high as 19 points.
THE DAILY JOURNAL

administrators developed the Open Division to have the best of the best face off against each other, thus giving other schools a chance at winning a CCS title. While an Open Division at the Division I level would not level the playing eld and would further divide the haves from dont-have-as-muches, at least there would be no pretense about what the ultimate goal is: win football games and make boatloads of money. While Shapiro blatantly aunted the system, maybe it will turn out to be the best thing to happen to big-time college athletics. Maybe this will be the asco that nally causes the NCAA to get its house in order and deal with the rampant and blatant cheating in college sports. Unfortunately, I have the feeling it wont have any impact on anything other than University of Miami athletics. And it wont be the last big-name school accused of cheating.

the death penalty the suspension of the entire University of Miami football program this is it. For those of you who remember Southern Methodist University in Texas receiving the death penalty in the early 1980s, that was amateur hour compared to what went on at Miami. And given Miamis consistent run-ins with the NCAA over the last 25-plus years, now would be an excellent time for the NCAA to make an example of this renegade program. But rst things rst. The biggest problem in college sports are the deep-pocket athletic boosters those supporters of college athletic programs who lavish money on their sport of choice. The NCAA has got to nd a way to control a schools boosters. Im sure there are hundreds and thousands of boosters who abide by the rules, but as the old saying goes, it only takes one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch.

31-28 in favor of the Panthers, turned into a bit of a blowout in the second half with the home team coming out on top 83-62. Its really interesting, because Ive never played this kind of a game before, said Balou Mattioga, another Sequoia Cherokee. I wasnt sure what to expect, but they did play really well against us. Our chemistry was pretty good. We had a lot of ball movement, especially in the second half and we got more open shots and things started
Albin closed the game out on re from the perimeter, scoring her teams last eight points. I thought it was great interacting with a lot of other players, she said after the game. Meeting new people is really fun. Its a really cool experience, Woo said of hosting their new friends from the Far East, who headed to Los Angeles after the game. Its a once in a lifetime thing. In Redwood City, you dont get a lot of people here from out of the state, much less out of the country, so it was completely surprising to hear there was a team from China coming here. So, I was just honored to be invited to be part of the game. It was a really good experience.

design of the project. While the capacity report may come as good news for the city of Burlingame, which staunchly opposes an aerial viaduct for the system, some cities may not be pleased with where the passing tracks will be constructed, if the rail authority moves in that direction. The capacity report showed that passing tracks would be infeasible to build in the northern part of San Mateo County leading into San Francisco. LTK Engineering Services put the capacity report together using a computer model to simulate activities on the corridor with Caltrain going 78 mph and highspeed trains going 110 mph. To get four high-speed trains into San Francisco an hour, LTK indicated about nine miles of passing tracks will need to be added to the corridor. LTKs model added passing tracks from the Hayward Park station in San Mateo down to Redwood City to accommodate four high-speed trains an hour. That solution would essentially put Belmont in the same position with either the blended system or the full buildout four-track aerial viaduct initially proposed for the area, said Belmont Councilwoman Christine Wozniak. This is no different than the HSR proposal, Wozniak said. This will be a major disruption to Belmont. The draft capacity report did not look at adding passing tracks in Santa Clara County. The San Mateo County Rail Corridor Partnership is comprised of elected ofcials and staff from Redwood City, San Mateo, Burlingame, Millbrae, South San Francisco, Brisbane and Belmont. He asked what she was doing and was allegedly told Dont worry before she locked the bedroom door, ofcials said. He reported hearing the aquarium being opened before Apour came out. He told police there was blood splatter on the side of the aquarium and Speedy had been stabbed between the shoulders. The wound reportedly went halfway down the lizards body. He was given three stitches and initially expected to survive but later died, ofcials said. When the man said he would call police, she allegedly said go ahead and went outside to damage the vehicle. Were not sure if she used the knife or maybe some keys, Lunny said. Apours boyfriend reportedly said the couple argued the previous day about his irting with other girls. He also said Apour had an obsession with knives, Wagstaffe said. Apour is currently unemployed but listed her occupation during booking as elder care. The groups intention is to try to build consensus among the cities and communicate with the rail authority with a unied voice. But San Mateo Mayor Jack Matthews questioned whether consensus could be achieved. What is consensus? Does that mean everyone agrees or most agree? Matthews said. Burlingame Mayor Terry Nagel said it might be difcult for cities to unify considering the complexity of the project. It is hard to speak as one voice with so many moving parts, Nagel said. Rail authority CEO Roelof van Ark said yesterday that a gradual approach into bringing the system into San Francisco from San Jose has its benets. I look forward to working closely with our planning partners along the corridor to evaluate this provisional study and pursuing a regional consensus to advance this segment, Van Ark wrote in a prepared statement. Caltrain has already committed to constructing a new signaling system, called the Communications-Based Overlay Signal System or CBOSS, that will work with the high-speed system. It recently secured a $16 million grant from the Federal Railroad Administration to build the system, estimated to cost more than $250 million. The rail authority proposes to build a system from San Francisco to Los Angeles and got major funding for the project when voters passed a $9 billion bond measure in November 2008. The total cost of the project has now gone up from about $43 billion, however, to more than $65 billion. Speedys body is being kept by the Peninsula Humane Society in case the Sheriffs Ofce needs it as part of the investigation, said spokesman Scott Delucchi. This is the rst animal abuse case Delucchi could recall involving the stabbing of a lizard. Bearded dragons are described as moderately sized lizards native to Australia. The are typically docile and often kept as pets. Apour appeared in court Wednesday afternoon on the new charges and prosecutors also charged the preceding case at the same time. Apour did not enter a plea to the charges, which Wagstaffe said could carry up to 12 years in prison, and she returns to court Aug. 19. She remains in custody in lieu of $200,000 bail on the new case. She also has an unresolved misdemeanor battery case from July on which she has not yet been arraigned.

London police charge 1,000th person in riots probe
LONDON London police force say more than 1,000 people have now been charged in the unrest that rocked the capital for four days, as human rights groups reiterated concerns that the sentences being handed out nationwide are disproportionate. Acting chief Tim Godwin issued a statement Wednesday that said while hitting the 1,000-charged milestone is signicant, the investigation is ongoing. He urged the public to turn in anyone involved in the disorder. Dont let them get away with it, he said. U.K. police have arrested more than 3,000 people over riots that erupted Aug. 6 in north London and ared for four nights across the capital and other English cities. The huge numbers and public anger has sparked concerns that judges were handing out sentences that were disproportionate. Some of the concerns centered around two men in northwestern England, who were handed stiff jail terms for inciting disorder through social networking sites.

should look has caused the rail authority to suspend a study of the full buildout of the system as it begins work on the project in the Central Valley. The corridor can double the high-speed train capacity if it adds about nine miles of passing tracks while Caltrain runs six trains an hour in both directions during peak commute times, Lee said. The capacity report supports a stance by Eshoo, Simitian and Gordon that Caltrains current right-of-way can support a level of high-speed rail without having to construct an aerial viaduct to support a four-track system, as early designs showed. Im very pleased that Caltrains feasibility analysis supports the blended system proposal. Eshoo wrote in a prepared statement. The preliminary analysis shows a viable path forward that minimizes community impacts by keeping the project substantially within the existing Caltrain right-of-way, avoids unwanted aerial viaducts and saves taxpayers billions of dollars. Eshoo is hopeful the report can help elected ofcials move toward consensus on a project she calls critical for our region. The report, presented to a group that calls itself the San Mateo County Rail Corridor Partnership, showed only that the blended system could work from an operational perspective and does not touch on the infrastructure needs or the
Pope arrives in Spain in time of economic turmoil

MADRID When the pope arrives in Spain this week, its not just sweltering heat hell be stepping into. The economys in a shambles. Jobless youths are lled with rage and frustration. Politicians are gearing up for early elections that will be dominated by these hard times. Benedict XVI lands Thursday in the capital for a four-day visit to greet up to a million or more young pilgrims from around the planet for the Catholic Churchs World Youth Day. The popes attendance shows how much a priority he places on this economically troubled country, which has departed sharply from its Catholic traditions and embraced hedonism and secularism. In the economic bust, he may be hoping to lure back some of his straying ock.
Gunfire,grenade attacks kill 10 in Pakistan

KARACHI, Pakistan Gunre and grenade attacks in Pakistans largest city killed at least 10 people Wednesday, including a former national lawmaker, the latest deaths in a surge of violence in recent months, ofcials said. Fighting in Karachi, a sprawling port city of 18 million, has added to the political instability in the nuclear-armed, U.S.allied nation and provided another distraction for the government as it ghts a Taliban-led insurgent movement. It also undercuts Pakistans struggling economy, because Karachi serves as the countrys main commercial hub. Waja Kareem Dad, a former lawmaker from the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party, was gunned down Wednesday evening, said Sharfuddin Memon, the security adviser to the government of Sindh province, where Karachi is the capital.

She was booked into jail on suspicion of trespassing, trying to disarm a deputy, resisting arrest and committing a felony while out on bail. The bizarre tale began late Aug. 13 when, according to Apours boyfriend, she began acting erratically.

Blueberries from your own backyard

By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
Judging by my diet in the past week, the season of blue is upon us. The blueberry, midsummers most celebrated fruit, is everywhere in abundance. We are fortunate to have several local growers and roadside stands near our home selling blueberries, but nothing beats the taste of berries harvested right from bushes in your own back yard. The bushes are easy to grow and require very little work for the amount of fruit they produce. They can be grown in zones three through 10, and if you select the right cultivars, the season can be extended from the beginning of the summer right through to the end. Blueberries can be planted during the summer and fall, provided you keep them well watered. If you would like to grow a few bushes of your own, start by contacting your county extension agent for a list of varieties that perform best in your area. Next, select a site for your bushes by looking at how much sun you have. Blueberry bushes grow best in full sun but will tolerate a little shade. The more sun, the better the fruit production. They prefer loose, well-drained soil with a pH of between 4.0 and 6.0, with 5.0 being ideal. Have your soil tested; if your pH is greater than 6.0, you will need to add amendments such as sulfur or iron sulphate. Blueberry bushes will yield more fruit if multiple varieties are planted together to aid in cross-pollination. Bushes should be planted at least four feet apart to allow for growth, air circulation and room for pruning/picking. Dig holes large enough to accommodate the root ball, and disturb it as little as possible
when planting. Cover the top of the roots with three to four inches of soil and leave enough room to mulch an area two to three feet around the plant, being careful to keep the mulch away from the crown of the plant. (The crown is the area where the shrubs stems meet the soil.) Mulching blueberries is important for several reasons. It helps retain moisture during hot, dry weather; it also reduces weed competition and improves soil structure when it decomposes. Pine sawdust, pine shavings or shredded pine bark make excellent choices to mulch your plants, as they also help acidify the soil when they decompose. Blueberries have shallow root systems, sometimes with depths as little as 18 inches. It is important to keep newly planted blueberry bushes well watered, especially during their rst summer. Once established and well mulched, they are able to tolerate hot, dry weather better, but periodic watering during dry spells will greatly reduce the stress on even established plants and allow them to produce more fruit. On average, they prefer to have one to two inches of water per week for optimum growth. Drip irrigation works well for blueberries, as it keeps foliage and fruit dry, reducing
Blueberry bushes are ideal for a sunny spot in your yard.

molds, which can cause fruit to drop. Blueberries should be fertilized once a year in early spring before they begin their annual growth. Fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants works well, such as an azalea fertilizer. Be sure not to apply too much fertilizer, and distribute it evenly within the root zone. Blueberries need pruning once they are established but should be left alone for the rst four years, while they mature. Once they are mature, a light annual pruning will increase yields and keep the bushes healthy. Shrubs should be pruned in late winter before new growth begins. Start by removing any dead wood. Blueberries produce fruit on the previous years growth, so a good amount of strong growth from the previous year is desirable. Keep plants fairly open by removing any branches that no longer produce vigorous young shoots, but be careful not to be overly zealous. Blueberries like a fair amount of canopy growth. If you have a sunny spot in your yard, why not plant a few blueberry bushes? Youll enjoy the season of blue for years to come.

London-based knitwear designer Melanie Porter turned her skills to home furnishings when she acquired an antique chair that needed reupholstering. But I couldnt nd a fabric I liked, so I instinctively turned to knit, she says. Several years later, her growing collection includes a funky 70s-era chair covered in the Union Jack, a cushion festooned with rufy knit corsages, and several pieces upholstered in a cozy, creamy sherman knit. Porter notes, Its a technique that allows me to position color and texture in precise positions; felting the knit makes it hard-wearing. Like a soft, comfy sweater, the array of knitwear-inspired home decor now on the market is easy to love. Knittings a trendy hobby, so it makes sense that furnishings designers want to play with the materials and motifs, too. Some of the best designs come out of Europe.

Not too early to start preparing home for winter

By Carole Feldman
EMERGENCY KITS
Its good to have an emergency kit throughout the year, but it can be especially important in the middle of a snowstorm when the power goes out. When preparing for emergency situations, its best to think rst about the basics of survival: fresh water, food, clean air and warmth, the Federal Emergency Management Agency says. In addition to these basics, the agency also recommends that emergency kits contain a battery-powered radio and ashlight, extra batteries, rst aid items, moist towelettes and a whistle, among other items. You also might want to have some ice melt on hand to treat icy sidewalks and driveways.
The hot, hazy days of summer are a perfect time to start preparing for winter. Many must-do projects, such as caulking, cleaning gutters, adding insulation or preparing emergency kits, will make your home more energy-efcient, help prevent weather damage and make things easier should the power go out. It is never too early to save energy and save money at home, said Joelle Terry, spokesperson for the Energy Department. Whether its choosing energy efcient products, sealing air and duct leaks, or adding insulation, American households could save over 20 percent on their household energy bills by making energy upgrades to their homes. To start, the department advises people to get an energy audit of their home, or do one themselves to nd out where you are losing energy and money. Check with your utility company; some offer free or low-cost energy audits. An energy audit can help determine if, for example, you have enough insulation, or whether there are leaks around windows or elsewhere that should be sealed. Many winterizing projects, like caulking, can be done by the homeowner; others, such as checking the heating system, usually require a professional. Heres a look, alphabetically, at some things experts recommend doing to prepare for winter:
FANS
Ceiling fans circulate air in summer and winter. In winter, youll want to reverse the fans direction to eliminate downdraft. In most cases, youll want the fan to run clockwise during the winter months.
GUTTERS
Its a common thing for clogged gutters to freeze if they dont drain properly, said Pat Sandor, a How To expert at Home Depot. Those can back up and cause damage to the home. So before winter, clean all debris from gutters and downspouts. Selzer also advises looking for gaps in the gutter where water can drip through, freeze and cause icy patches.
AIR LEAKS
Checking for any kind of air leaks is a prime project for this time of year, said Kit Selzer, senior remodeling and projects editor at Better Homes and Gardens. Caulk can be used to seal leaks around doors or windows, or around pipes or ductwork. Install foam gaskets behind outlet and switch plates on walls, the Energy The Energy Department estimates that you can save up to 20 percent on heating and air Department advises.

Regardless of what type of heating system you use, its a good idea to have it checked before the start of each winter to make sure it is working correctly.

INSULATION

there. There are few parts of the country where those provisions dont apply. Phipps, a real estate agent from Warwick, R.I., suggests that home sellers disclose any plants or cuttings they intend to take with them. Failing to do that probably wont invalidate the deal, but you dont want to be in a situation where the buyer takes you to small claims court because you didnt go along with its terms, Phipps said. When in doubt, spell it out. List them as you would a dining room fixture or window treatments. Many growing things dont react well to new locations. That goes for plants with extensive root systems, plants unable to cope with different hardiness zones or plants on official not-wanted lists. Agricultural states often restrict certain plants, fearing the introduction of invasive, insect-ridden or diseased species into native stocks. well interwoven bamboo and willow with tightly bound knotted twigs, she says. You can solve concerns about fenceheight restrictions or neighbor sightlines with double screens, ornamental grasses and slim, tall trees, Fogg says. Place the deck or patio so you have your back to the problem. Foliage also saps up and absorbs noise, she notes. Avoid planting greenery that requires a lot of upkeep, the experts say. Before you buy, needed in different areas of the country. An energy audit will be able to tell you if you have enough. Selzer said that adding insulation is generally considered a do-it-yourself job. A lot depends on how you can access your attic areas, she said. Sandor also recommended putting an insulation jacket on your water heater.

When gardeners move: Planning can relieve anxiety

By Dean Fosdick
So what are grieving gardeners to do? They might try:

Negotiating trades. I once represented a couple who had been given a tree as an anniversary gift, Phipps said. It was a small tree but it was important to them. We brought in a new tree to replace it. We negotiated the swap as an exception to the (sales) agreement. Providing a detailed users manual. Diagrams, photographs and step-by-step instructions can greatly help new owners care for an unfamiliar garden, said Mark Glenn, a self-described Hosta-holic and an agent with Coldwell Banker Burnet in Minneapolis. For a short time, at least. Taking cuttings from favorite plants. This is not foolproof, but it can produce clones. Helping with the changeover. I knew a woman who had to sell her house because of check with your nursery about pruning, watering, disease resistance and shedding tendencies. Doug Jimerson, garden content editor for Better Homes & Gardens magazine, likes Emerald Green arborvitae, Gray Gleam juniper and Hicks yew as screening plants for privacy. All are winter hardy to Zone 5, he says. Trumpet vines and wisteria are great perennial climbers, but, notes Jimerson, if
Selling a home can be sad and stressful for gardeners leaving behind members of their extended plant family. Many are living memories. Maybe its the iris bulbs that bloomed in your mothers garden, or the low-slung trees your kids used to climb. It could be the shrubs marking the place where family pets lie buried, or some lovingly tended roses climbing an entry. So why not bring them along? Two reasons: It might not be practical perhaps theyre simply too large and doing so might void the sales contract. Property listings and purchase agreements specifically reference such landscape fixtures as trees, plants, bulbs and shrubs, said Ron Phipps, president-elect of the National Association of Realtors. Many people dont read the fine print but its in
a divorce, Phipps said. The garden had been her canvas and it broke her heart to move. She gained permission from the new owners to come back and visit, and often she did. She also did some transitional work with them for a few years. Taking containerized plants or yard art when they move. In our area, the custom is potted plants can be removed because theyre portable, Phipps said. If theyre in the ground, theyre treated differently. Keeping a photographic record. Take the best photos you can, covering as much of your garden as possible, to remember what a wonderful part of your life it has been, said Wanda Teays, chair of the Philosophy Department at Mount St. Marys College in Los Angeles. Then move on. Dont drive back every week or month or year to see whats changed. Youll never be happy. you need quick privacy, opt for annual vines such as morning glories that will smother a trellis in just one season. Of course, they wont last over the winter, but this will give you time to get your shrubs in place. And to deter trespassers, Fogg suggests a mix of pyracantha, evergreen honeysuckle and roses thorny alternatives to a Keep Out sign.

insulation to loose ll or foams that can be sprayed in place. A department website, Energysavers.gov, has a map that shows how much insulation is
OUTSIDE FAUCETS
Dont forget to turn off water to the outside faucet and allow the faucet to drip dry before the below-freezing temperatures hit. You can get a little hood, basically a hard plastic shell over foam, that you can put over the outside faucet to help prevent it from freezing, according to Sandor.
WINDOWS
Winter is time to pull down those storm windows. If you dont have any, a cheaper alternative to buying them is to put plastic sheeting over the window to try to block drafts. Another easy way to make windows feel less drafty is insulated curtains, according to Selzer.

DATEBOOK
ning for re-election and she is joined in the race by former mayor Robert Gottschalk, planning commissioners Lorrie Kalos-Gunn and Wayne Lee, real estate agent Anne E. Oliva and former Millbrae police ofcer Marc Faber. Most of the challengers have some experience with elections. Gottschalk served until 2009 when he was termed out. Both Kalos-Gunn and Lee have previously attempted to join the council. Many school races were set as of yesterday as well. There were two possible races in the Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary School District, only one is contested with an extended ling period the race for two four-year seats. Trustee Robert Tashjian is running for re-election while Trustee Cathy Wright will not. Two challengers retired custom cabinetmaker Daniel Duane Kaul and Khalid Sebti are hoping to join the board. Five have led thus far in hopes of grabbing one of three seats on the Sequoia Union High School District Board of Trustees. Trustee Don Gibson will not seek a fourth term, extending the ling period but ve candidates have led. President Lorraine Rumley and Trustee Olivia Martinez will be challenged by Carrie When I got on stage and performed live for the rst time, though, I felt a love for the blues. Boyd cant stay away from his wife for long, he is constantly by her side except on those nights when John Blues Boyd and Friends perform live. He does not take the time to rehearse either. We dont rehearse a damn thing. We just show up and I say play a slow tear dropper or a shufe and thats it, Boyd said. His bandmates, including saxophonist Don Baraka, are seasoned professionals and know blues standards well. When I rst got started I didnt even know all of the lyrics to most of my favorite songs, he said. Somebody told me I better learn them. Now, he knows almost all of them. His biggest inuences are Bobby Blue Bland, Big Joe Turner, John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker and his favorite, Little Jr. Parker. Parkers Mystery Train and Pretty Baby/Thats Alright are two of Boyds favorite songs to sing on stage. He doesnt play guitar or harmonica, DuBois, trustee for the San Carlos Elementary School District, Larry Moody from East Palo Alto and Allen Weiner, a university educator and parent from Menlo Park. Four people are seeking to join the Hillsborough City Elementary School District, which has two four-year seats. Trustee Julie Borden, who was appointed in May to ll the vacancy left by the departure of Mary Huser from the board, will not seek a full term. Board President Greg Dannis, Steven Gans, Margi Power and Michael Forbes led to run for the board. Power and Gans both applied in May of hopes of being appointed to the board. Gans also previously ran for the seat. In San Carlos, board President Tom Quiggle opted not to run for re-election while Vice President Seth Rosenblatt will seek a second term. Also running are Adam Rak, a trade association executive, and engineer/construction manager Peter Tzifas. Two seats are up for grabs in the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District. Board President Mark Hudak will not run for re-election. Trustee Colleen Sullivan, parent and nance professor Fel Anthony Amistad and marketing performance analyst Audrey Ng will compete for the two seats. though. Its just my voice, he said. His mother sang in a Baptist church choir and, while she was pregnant with her son, Boyds father would sing and play the blues to his unborn child. I could be heard singing the blues in my backyard when I was 3 years old, Boyd said. At a young age, Boyd saw B.B. King and Albert King perform but did not have enough money to see Little Jr. Parker on the night he came to town. He also gave up a chance to sing with Bobby Blue Bland when he was just 17 because he was too shy, he said. He is not shy now, though, about his love for the music and hopes to help keep the blues alive through his performances. Now, Boyds voice can be heard frequently at the British Bankers Club in Menlo Park. He also performs at the Flight Lounge in San Carlos and at Club Fox in downtown Redwood City. And although money is tight, Boyd plays for the love of the music and not so much for the paycheck. I love the blues. I just love it, he said.

ELECTION
ning for re-election and will be joined on the ballot by Chamber of Commerce President Ron Collins and school district trustee Mark Olbert. Collins formally announced his run in June, even before he could ofcially pull papers. Olbert was rumored as a potential candidate for months before ofcially jumping in. Collins, owner of Collins Insurance and Investment Services and Chamber of Commerce president, said he would not have ran if Ahmad was alive and seeking re-election. Collins unsuccessfully ran for the school board in 1987 and said this time winning a council seat will come down to experience, familiarity with the issues and connection with the people. In Millbrae, Mayor Dan Quigg and Councilman Paul Seto decided not to run for re-election opening the playing eld. The race drew limited interest at rst. Quiggs announcement not to run came in the middle of the ling period and resulted in numerous others pulling paperwork. Vice Mayor Marge Colapietro is run-

a number of years, even decades, struggling to make ends meet as Boyd worked as a roofer. They ended up in Redwood City in the mid-1970s and have lived there ever since. After 20 years of marriage, Boyd nally decided in 1986 to hop on stage at a club called the Loading Zone in downtown Redwood City and got hooked on performing live. Twenty-ve years later, the singer is now known as John Blues Boyd as his band packs in clubs from San Jose to San Francisco. Now 66, Boyd has since retired as a roofer but his wife of 46 years is now ailing and is unable to make it to her husbands gigs. She does, however, now help her husband manage his music career. My wife was trying to get me to perform the whole time, Boyd said. We had a poor life, with a string of misfortunes.

Certain conditions will prove to be more personally gratifying in the year ahead than they have been for a number of past years. The very situations that gave you fits before will now be the luckiest for you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A chance comment from an associate might put you on the track of resolving a difficult situation that has been bugging you, and which no one has been able to deal with. Itll be the perfect solution. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you truly want to achieve is within the realm of possibility. However,
the important thing to remember is to make certain that your goal is meaningful and not frivolous. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If youre thinking of taking on something big, first line up all of the helpers you can muster. Youre fortunate right now, but your best results will come from group involvements. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- As long as youre willing to work for what you get and dont leave anything up to chance, you can make noticeable improvements in conditions that relate to your holdings and income. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Its not like you to sit in the corner and be a wallflower, so dont start now, regardless of your reasons. Something nice could develop through someone you meet for the first time.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --This could be the
day youve been waiting for. Something youve been worrying about will do an about-face and spur necessary changes thatll turn out to be in your favor. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Strive to be as flexible as possible where your important plans are concerned. Youll succeed if you dont restrict your ability to maneuver and make constructive changes when necessary. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Try to devote the greater portion of your time and attention to matters that are materially meaningful to you. It is in these areas where your luck will be the strongest and most powerful. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Think for yourself so that you can get off to a good start doing what you
want. The course you set for yourself is likely to be the one youll follow for some time to come. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can gain the upper hand on your financial picture by being assertive, not aggressive, and by relying on your own instincts and timing when it really counts. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you are on the verge of announcing a new endeavor, this might be the perfect day to get it off of the launching pad. In fact, the results could exceed your expectations. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Its highly likely that you will be the one who has the edge over the other guy. However, dont take this for granted, get careless and give the edge to someone else.

Perry doubts global warming

BEDFORD, N.H. GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry told New Hampshire voters Wednesday that he does not believe in manmade global warming, calling it a scientific theory that has not been proven. I think were seeing almost weekly, or even daily, scientists that are coming forward and questioning the original idea that manmade global warming is what is causing the climate to change, the Texas governor said on the rst stop of a two-day trip to the first-in-thenation primary state. He said some want billions or trillions of taxpayer dollars spent to address the issue, but he added: I dont think from my Rick Perry perspective that I want to be engaged in spending that much money on still a scientic theory that has not been proven and from my perspective is more and more being put into question. His comments came at a packed breakfast meeting with local business leaders in a region known for its strong environmental policies. And he made his global warming comment in response to a question by an audience member who cited evidence from the National Academy of Sciences. But Perrys opinion runs counter to the view held by an overwhelming majority of scientists that pollution released from the burning of fossil fuels is heating up the planet. Perrys home state of Texas releases more heat-trapping pollution carbon dioxide the chief greenhouse gas than any other state in the country, according to government data.

Libyan rebels battle New book claims Coco Chanel was Nazi spy for last oil refinery
By Jenny Barcheld
By Karin Laub
ZAWIYA, Libya Dozens of opposition fighters surrounded Libyas last functioning oil renery Wednesday and laid siege to about 100 government troops, part of a push which brought them closer to seizing this strategic western city. A rebel victory in Zawiya could be a turning point in the six-monthold war and leave Moammar Gadhafi nearly cornered in his increasingly isolated stronghold of Tripoli, the capital, just 50 kilometers (30 miles) to the east along the Mediterranean coast. Rebel ghters are now closing in on the capital from the west and the south, while NATO controls the seas to the north. The opposition is in con-
trol of most of the eastern half of the country and has declared Benghazi, 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) east of Tripoli, as its de facto capital. Wednesdays fighting focused around the sprawling renery complex on the western outskirts of Zawiya, a city of 200,000. The rebels, who began their assault on the renery a day earlier, took control of the facilitys three-story administration building, tearing down the Gadha regimes green ag that ew over the grounds. Desperate Gadha troops cut off from the main government forces took cover in a residential compound and closed the gates to prevent workers from eeing, rebels said. The troops barricaded themselves in and positioned snipers on rooftops.
PARIS Coco Chanel: A fashion icon whose name has become shorthand for timeless French chic, a shrewd businesswoman who overcame a childhood of poverty to build a luxury supernova and ... a Nazi spy? A new book by a Paris-based American historian suggests Chanel not only had a wartime affair with a German aristocrat and spy, but that
she herself was also an agent of Germanys Abwehr military intelligence organization and a rabid antiSemite. Doubts about Chanels loyalties Coco Chanel during World War II have long festered, but Sleeping with the Enemy: Coco Chanels Secret War
goes well beyond those previous allegations, citing as evidence documents culled from archives around the world. The book, published in the U.S. on Tuesday by Knopf, has rufed feathers in France, where the luxury industry is a pillar of the economy and Chanel is widely regarded as the crowning jewel. The House of Chanel was quick to react, saying in a statement that more than 57 books have been written about Gabrielle Chanel. ... We would encourage you to consult some of the more serious ones.
In death, young Florida Marine gives life to comrade

By Melissa Nelson
PENSACOLA, Fla. Nicknamed Superman because of his chiseled 6-foot-3 frame, Marine Lt. Patrick Wayland saved his most heroic act for last. He donated a kid-
ney to a comrade he never met. Wayland, a flight student at Pensacola Naval Air Station, died earlier this month after his heart stopped beating during water survival training. He was already an organ donor, but while on life support, his family decided they wanted
to help a fellow Marine. A doctor who treated the 24-yearold Wayland searched the Internet for Marine needing transplant and found a website for Sgt. Jacob Jake Chadwick, who was stationed on the other side of the country at Camp Pendleton.
Even Trusted Publications Can Get the Facts Wrong

By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Always take what you read with a grain of salt! It amazes me that so many articles I see being published in various magazines, tabloids, journals, etc. are implied to be factual and researched but in reality end up being riddled with partial truths, inaccuracies and falsehoods! I always like information that is backed up by provable facts, but am leery of articles that are hastily written and not checked out. Many people assume that all their reading material has been pre-verified by an editor. Accepting these erroneous types of writings as the gospel truth causes confusion among the public and can be potentially harmful! One serious example is the daily flooding of email stories that are passed from reader to reader (weve all received them) and taken by many recipients as factual writings. The majority of these emails, such as perceived parents searching for their missing child; hearsay about the Presidents status as an American citizen; rumors on the latest medical scare or remedy; handy household uses for cola; Bill Gates sharing his fortune with you if you forward that email to 10 friends; in addition to countless other stories are all found to be internet myths or hoaxes. TIP: You can easily check out the validity of every email story you receive by going to www.snopes.com and typing in the subject of any questionable email in the search box. In another example, I was recently given an article to review from Readers Digest called 13 Things the Funeral Director Wont Tell You as part of their series featuring different professions. Being an actual Funeral Director, and knowing the facts, I couldnt believe the inexplicable info I was reading in a supposedly reputable magazine such as Readers Digest. It was obvious to me that the author of the article and the editor of the magazine not only didnt check their alleged facts, but some of the items listed were misleading, incomplete assertions or just plain folklore! Anyone reading this would just assume that all was checked out in advance with experts and professionals before being printedbut in this case it was a listing of partial truths or unexplained hearsay. Since this article appeared (in the June/July 2011 issue) the National Funeral Directors Association among other groups have chastised Readers Digest for their inept reporting. This circumstance makes it difficult for me to fully have faith in Readers Digest and reminds me that fallacies that can show up in otherwise trusted publications. Another situation similar to the above appeared a while back in AARP magazine. I always viewed this publication as having a stellar reputation until I read an article about funeral rip-offs that was also filled with inaccurate statements. In that case AARP was not checking their facts either. The point is that some authors may have part of their facts correct or incorrectbut until you verify your reading material with a professional you should take what you read with some good humor and a grain of salt. If you ever wish to discuss cremation, funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650) 588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you in a fair and helpful manner.
