SACRAMENTO California
lawmakers approved billions of dol-
lars Friday in construction nancing
for the initial segment of the
nations rst dedicated high-speed
rail line connecting Los Angeles
and San Francisco.
The move marked a major politi-
cal victory for Democratic Gov.
Jerry Brown and the Obama admin-
istration. Both have promoted bullet
trains as job
generators and
clean transporta-
tion alternatives.
No economy
can grow faster
than its trans-
portation net-
work allows,
U . S .
Transportation
Secretary Ray LaHood said in a
statement applauding the legislative
vote. With highways between
California cities congested and air-
space at a premium, Californians
desperately need an alternative.
The bill authorizes the state to
begin selling $4.5 billion in voter-
approved bonds that includes $2.6
billion to build an initial 130-mile
stretch of the high-speed rail line in
the Central Valley. That will allow
the state to collect another $3.2 bil-
lion in federal funding that could
have been rescinded if lawmakers

Todd Fishers love affair with
food began as a child.
Growing up in the North Beach
neighborhood in San Francisco,
Fishers friends were off grabbing
sweet treats and he was exploring
food in Chinatown. He quickly
developed a life plan: Become a
football star for the San Francisco
49ers then open an Italian restaurant
of his own. While he didnt end up
being a football star, Fisher did fol-
low his heart when it came to food.
Starting Sunday, the Daly City-born
chef will be hosting a new show
called United States of Food on
Destination America on which he
has the chance to visit venues with
innovative menus throughout the
nation.
Getting into entertainment took a
bit of time.
Fisher started his professional
restaurant career washing dishes
and doing prep work in a Chinese
place. Before long, he moved on to
wok duty. Then he took a stab at
ipping burgers and learning a bit
more about the American kitchen
concepts, which were very different
from working with a wok. Fisher
ended up on the Monterey
Peninsula, where he worked at
Montrios. By 2000, he was ready to
take on his own place and opened
Hullabaloo. Today, his spot is called
The Kitchen, in Sand City, Calif.
Entertainment started to be a
viable option for Fisher about ve
years ago. He began with hosting

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A 58-year-old San Mateo man arrested in a
large-scale online child pornography sweep
pleaded no contest to a felony count of pos-
session in return for no more than a year in
jail.
Paul Michael Ambler will also have to reg-
ister as a sex offender for life after his Sept. 5
sentencing. Meanwhile, he remains free from
custody on $25,000 bail.
Authorities looked at Ambler after
Microsoft received a cyber tip in October
2010 about child pornography being accessed
from his IP address, prosecutors said. A
search of his home allegedly returned images
and videos of children
between the ages of 6 and
15 in various sexual acts
and some of the pornogra-
phy came from as far away
as the United Kingdom.
Authorities reported also
finding numerous emails
related to trading or for-
warding the images, too.
Ambler and nine others
Gordon Lee, 44, of Daly City, Charles Vela
Reyes Jr., 46, of Menlo Park, Christopher
Daniel Winans, 24, of East Palo Alto, Paul
Tazbaz, 36, and Samnang Chun, 23, both of
San Mateo, Steve Wilson, 52, and Cruz-
Martin Caseiro-Rosas, 32, both of South San
Francisco, and Stephen Wolf, 64, of Portola
Valley were arrested in March after being
identied as possibly being in possession of
child pornography during a Silicon Valley
ICAC Task Force investigation headed by the
San Jose Police Department. The task force
targets peer-to-peer le sharing online by
tracking images of pre-pubescent children
through individual Internet protocol address-
es. The police then searched the homes where
those addresses originated.
Lee also settled his case on a single posses-
sion count and faces a year when sentenced
next week. Chun committed suicide while
awaiting trial.
Man pleads no contest to child porn
Paul Ambler
By Martiga Lohn
ST. PAUL, Minn. As heat across a big
chunk of the U.S. drives people into pools and
lakes to cool off, public health ofcials are
worried about a heightened risk of drowning.
Minnesota has had more drowning deaths so
far this year than any time in the past decade,
and ofcials in Illinois and Michigan are see-
ing an uptick in some areas, too. Drowning
deaths historically go up in the summer
months, but the intensely hot weather may also
be putting even more people at risk as they
ock to water for relief, some without swim-
ming skills.
When youve got more people out there, the
chances of someone getting hurt or killed are
increased just by the fact youve got numbers
on the water, said Kim Elverum, spokesman
for the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources. Youve got ability and so on from
one end of the scale to another out there.
Much of the central and eastern U.S. has
experienced particularly hot weather in recent
days, with temperatures climbing into the 100s
in several cities. In the Midwest, even low tem-
peratures have been setting record highs,
meaning people arent able to get relief even
overnight.
In Chicago, Reggie Banks wondered
whether heat drove his 22-year-old nephew, a
strong swimmer who played high school water
polo, into Lake Michigan on the Fourth of
July. Mahlik Harris body was pulled out of the
water after he went missing while swimming
in the lake, where he might have gotten a
cramp that made it impossible for him to swim
back to shore. An autopsy is pending.
The beach was closed so theres no swim-
ming after 7, but everybody was packed out
there watching the reworks and its 100
degrees and theyre thinking, Lets get into the
water, Banks said.
Excessive heat-warnings were in place
Friday for all of Iowa, Indiana and Illinois as
well as much of Wisconsin, Michigan,
Missouri, Ohio and Kentucky, and parts of
Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and
Delaware. The National Weather Service said
it expected heat warnings and advisories to be
continued or expanded on Saturday, with the
heat largely centered over Ohio Valley and
Mid-Atlantic states.

The San Carlos City Council will hear a report
on citywide litter and consider spending $8,000 for
ash receptacles and $11,700 to extend twice-weekly

and hold a second reading of a 6 percent increase to
sewer rates. The City Council meets 7 p.m. Monday, July 9 at City Hall, 600

EDUCATION
Two new Millbrae Elementary School District trustees will be sworn
in Monday. In June, the board appointed former principal Lynne Ferrario
and community activist Denis Fama to ll vacancies on the board. An open
seat became available with the death of Caroline Shea in May, who was in
the middle of serving her fth term on the board. A second opening was cre-
ated with the relocation of Trustee Marjory Luxenberg, who served at her
nal meeting when the two new trustees were appointed. The terms of both
women are set to expire in 2013. Fama and Ferrario were appointed to n-
ish the terms.

Former officer mentally fit for embezzlement trial
The former Half Moon Bay police ofcer accused of steal-
ing $5,700 from the Police Ofcers Association is mentally t
to stand trial for embezzlement, according to court-appointed
doctors.
Fridays competency conclusion mean Askia Mohammed
Johnson, 39, will stand trial Oct. 9 for allegedly making 36
separate withdrawals from the POA account between 2008 and
2010 while serving as its head.
Johnson actually objected to his attorneys request for men-
tal evaluations but a judge opted to halt criminal proceedings
until the matter was resolved. Had the doctors found him unt
to aid in his own defense, Johnson would have been treated at
a state mental facility.
Johnson, who has pleaded not guilty, has said publicly the
money was a loan similar to those taken by other ofcers while
he was president of the POA. Prosecutors also say Johnson did
repay at least $4,000.
Johnson is free from custody on his own recognizance. He
returns to court July 20 for a hearing to re his court-appoint-
ed attorney.

George Zimmerman leaves jail on $1M bond
ORLANDO, Fla. Former neighborhood watch volunteer
George Zimmerman was released from jail Friday for a second
time while he awaits his second-degree mur-
der trial for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman left the Seminole County Jail
a day after Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester
granted a $1 million bail with strict condi-
tions. He wore a white shirt and dress jacket
as he walked out and got into an SUV, ignor-
ing shouted questions from nearby reporters.
The judge is requiring Zimmerman to stay
in Seminole County. He was allowed to
leave Florida after his rst release in April.
Now he must be electronically monitored,
cant open a bank account, obtain a passport or set foot on the

PITTSBURGH Disappointing job
growth jolted the presidential campaign
four months before
Election Day, and the
candidates quickly
put their vastly differ-
ent views on display,
underscoring the
economy as the cen-
tral issue between
President Barack
Obama and
Republican rival Mitt
Romney.
Obama sought consolation from hiring
gures that showed at least some job
growth still under way, calling them a
step in the right direction and pleading
with voters to stick with him. Romney
spoke of misery across the nation, warned
Obama would do nothing but deepen it
and addressed a disgruntled middle class
by saying, This kick in the gut has got to
end.
Overall, the stand-pat nature of the new
data was not a game-changer in the close
presidential contest one in which the
presidents approval ratings hover around
or slightly below 50 percent and he retains
a slight lead, if any, over Romney.
And while no president since the Great
Depression has sought re-election with
unemployment as high as it is now,
Obama has proven to be a resilient cam-
paigner while Romney has come under
conservative criticism, accused of playing
it too safe and muddling his message.
The lackluster jobs report showed a net
of only 80,000 jobs created in June and an
unemployment rate unchanged at 8.2 per-
cent.
Jobs data jolts campaign

WASHINGTON The American job
machine has jammed. Again.
The economy added only 80,000 jobs in
June, the government said Friday, erasing
any doubt that the United States is in a
summer slump for the third year in a row.
Lets just agree: This number stinks,
said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strate-
gist at the investment rm BTIG.
It was the third consecutive month of
weak job growth. From April through
June, the economy produced an average
of just 75,000 jobs a month, the weakest
three months since August through
October 2010.
The unemployment rate stayed at 8.2
percent a recession-level gure, even
though the Great Recession has technical-
ly been over for three years.
The numbers could hurt President
Barack Obamas odds for re-election. Mitt
Romney, the presumed Republican nomi-
nee, said they showed that Obama, in
three and a half years on the job, had not
gotten America working again.
And the president is going to have to
stand up and take responsibility for it,
Romney said in Wolfeboro, N.H. This
kick in the gut has got to end.
Obama, on a two-day bus tour through
the contested states of Ohio and
Pennsylvania, focused on private compa-
nies, which added 84,000 jobs in June,
and took a longer view of the economic
recovery.
Economy adds 80,000 jobs in another weak month

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama signed legislation Friday main-
taining jobs on transportation projects
and preventing interest rate increases
on new loans to millions of college stu-
dents, saying it would make a real dif-
ference for millions of Americans.
Obama, anked by unemployed con-
struction workers, college students and
members of Congress at the White
House, said he was hopeful that this
bipartisan spirit spills over into the next
phase on measures to boost the econo-
my.
Theres no excuse for inaction when
there are so many Americans still trying
to get back on their feet, Obama said.
He said the transportation and educa-
tion measures will make a real differ-
ence in the lives of millions of
Americans. Obama signed the bill fol-
lowing a two-day bus trip through parts
of Ohio and Pennsylvania.

BUCHAREST, Romania Romanian
lawmakers impeached President Traian
Basescu in an overwhelming vote Friday,
paving the way for a national referendum that
could see the divisive and increasingly unpop-
ular leader ousted from the powerful position
hes held for eight years.
The vote of 256-114 in parliament came as
Basescu and Prime Minister Victor Ponta have
engaged in a bitter power struggle in the east-
ern European country of 19 million, which
emerged from communism in 1989. The
machinations, especially attempts to sideline
the judiciary, have led the United States and
the European Union to issue statements of
concern about Romanias democracy.
Basescus opponents accused him of over-
stepping his authority by meddling with the
prime ministers ofce and trying to inuence
judicial affairs. The 60-year-old former ship
captain also was accused of making racist
remarks about Gypsies and disabled people.
Senate Speaker Crin Antonescu, who will
serve as interim president now that Basescu
has been effectively suspended from the role,
said a popular referendum on Basescus fate
will be held July 29.
Basescu was impeached
in 2007 but survived a ref-
erendum. Still, his popu-
larity has declined steeply,
and he faces tougher odds
this time.
One major reason is that
the Ponta-led government
changed the law this week
to make it easier to oust
Basescu from ofce. Now, a simple majority
of votes cast is needed to push him out.
Before, a majority of all voters in Romania
was required.
Upon hearing of the impeachment, hun-
dreds of Romanians rallied in downtown
Bucharest to cheer the news, while others
gathered to express their disappointment.
Basescu vowed late Friday to use all con-
stitutional resources to stay in ofce for his
full ve-year term, which ends in 2014, and
called his impeachment an abuse.
He denied abusing his power, but defended
his outspokenness and active participation in
political life. He had earlier defended himself
against the allegations of making racist and
disparaging comments by saying he has the
right to free speech.
U.N.: Peacekeeper killed
in volatile eastern Congo
KINSHASA, Congo The United Nations
said a peacekeeper in Congo was killed by an
exploding shell as rebels allegedly backed by
Rwanda made major advances in the countrys
volatile east, taking a border crossing into
Uganda and threatening a strategic town.
Panicked residents were eeing the town of
Rutshuru on Friday night amid reports that the
rebels had advanced within shelling distance,
according to a statement from the North Kivu
Civil Society. Fears were heightened by the
evacuation of U.N. and independent aid agen-
cies, followed in the late afternoon by the retreat
of Congolese army soldiers, it said.
The Indian peacekeeper was killed overnight
on Thursday as ghters from the M23 rebel
group attempted to take the town of Bunagana,
said Madnodje Mounoubai, the United Nations
spokesman in Congo.
Elite counterdrug
units proposed for Mexico
BOGOTA, Colombia The top security
adviser for Mexicos next president said Friday
that he is recommending the creation of elite
units of police and troops who will target not just
major drug trafckers but also lower-level cartel
hitmen as a way of swiftly reducing violence.
The proposal newly retired Colombian police
director Gen. Oscar Naranjo explained in an
interview with the Associated Press offers a
glimpse of how President-elect Enrique Pena
Nieto might fulll his promise to slash the num-
ber of murders and kidnappings by 50 percent
during his six years in ofce.
Pakistan: Gunmen kill
18 at roadside restaurant
QUETTA, Pakistan Gunmen on motorcy-
cles opened re at a roadside restaurant in

strike killed 12 suspected militants near the
Afghan border.
The people killed in the restaurant attack in
the remote town of Turbat in Baluchistan
province were Pakistanis travelling with smug-
glers to Europe through neighboring Iran, said
Abdul Razzaq, a government ofcial in the area.
Two people were also wounded, he said.
Its unclear what motivated the attack.
Baluchistan regularly experiences violence
from both Islamist militants and nationalists
who demand a greater share of the provinces

MILLBRAE I
recently attended a
family funeral in
Southern California.
The burial took
place at a long
established Catholic
Cemetery which
later decided to build a Mortuary facility on
their property. I knew from past experience
that this cemetery was well maintained and
had a good reputation. The immediate
family had other loved-ones buried at the
cemetery and wished to return this time too.
With the knowledge that this cemetery had a
Mortuary on the grounds they trusted it to be
convenient and decided to have this facility
handle the funeral arrangements.
Prior to the funeral I had some phone
contact with the Mortuary staff and saw
nothing out of the ordinary. But soon after I
spoke to family members who relayed
troubling details such as higher than average
costs, questionable service and other
apprehensions that raised a red-fag. I
listened carefully taking into consideration
that funerals and arrangements may be
conducted differently in Southern California
(as compared to here on the Peninsula).
Later though I discovered that these
concerns and others were all valid as I
experienced them myself during the funeral.
Coming from the background of owning
a family run and community supportive
funeral home I was embarrassed at what I
saw as a production line process with little
compassion or time to care for the families
this Mortuary is supposed to be serving.
I wondered how the Catholic Church
could allow this Mortuary to operate in such
a manner? Well, I did some research and
discovered that the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles has mortuaries located on a
number of their cemetery properties, but
does not operate them. According to the
Funeral Consumers Alliance of Southern
California the Archdiocese has an
arrangement with Stewart Enterprises
which is a New Orleans based mortuary
corporation. Stewart Enterprises runs a
website called Catholic Mortuaries.com
giving a misleading impression to many that
the Catholic Church operates these facilities.
When patronizing one of these
mortuaries on Catholic cemetery grounds
most families assume that they will be
receiving a level of comfort as they would
from their local church or parish priest.
None of this was evident during my
experience of extremely high costs
(compared to what was received) and the
dis-interested service provided by the
mortuary staff. I dont see this as a failing
of the Catholic cemetery, but of those in
charge of running this mortuary.
The point Im trying to make is to do
your homework and shop for a Funeral
establishment you are comfortable with.
Just because a Mortuary is located on
cemetery property doesnt mean they are
your only choice or that they offer fair costs
or give better quality ofservice. You have
the right to select what ever funeral home
you wish to conduct the arrangements. Talk
to various funeral directors, and ask friends
and families who they would recommend.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning 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. For more info

2012, in San Bruno.
Born in San Francisco
Oct. 3, 1938, to Henry
and Florence
(Schaukowitch) Maher,
Will was raised in San
Bruno and graduated
from Junipero Serra High
School and the University
of San Francisco. Will
began his teaching career
at Anderson High School; and in 1964, began
teaching at Southwood Junior High School,
then South San Francisco High School. In
addition to teaching history and English, he
also taught publications and advised the year-
book and newspaper staffs, student govern-
ment and student activities, donating count-
less hours to after-school activities. He
retired in 1992 and, for 17 years, chaired the
annual South San Francisco High School
Principals Blue and White Ball that raised in
excess of $500,000 to benet the academic
programs not enhanced by state or local
resources.
Wills greatest gratication and sense of
pride was learning that former students had
succeeded in their life goals and recognizing
that he had had a positive inuence on so
many. Will had an incredible memory; cele-
brated his German and Irish heritage with
enthusiastic passion; appreciated delicious
food, ne wine and lasting friendships; and
had a generous heart and spirit. He will be

Corinne Centeno died peacefully at her
home on June 13, 2012, following a brave bat-

Dec. 3, 1954 to Charles
and Margery Becker.
She is survived by her
son Diego Centeno
(Mikaela), brothers Craig
Becker and Marc Becker
(Sharon) and nephews
Brad and Matthew.
Corinne called Redwood City home for 45
years. She established deep roots in the com-
munity through her many friendships and her
career in public service. While deeply com-
mitted to the local community, she was adven-
turous and enjoyed her frequent travels.
She began her public service career in 1976
and advanced through the ranks in Redwood
City as assistant to the city manager, superin-
tendent of the Recreation and Community
Services Department and then served as its
director for 10 years. She retired in 2009.
Corinnes devotion to the community tran-
scended her work with Redwood City. As an
active volunteer, she served on the boards of
Shelter Network and the Peninsula Conict
Resolution Center, and the American Cancer
Society/Relay for Life. It is, however, the
woman behind all of these great accomplish-
ments that her family and many dear friends
remember with such deep affection. We will
miss her leadership, her smile, her laughter,
her energy, her compassion, her sense of
adventure and her positive attitude that so
often buoyed our spirits.
A celebration of life memorial will be held

Obituaries
failed to act Friday.
Brown pushed for the massive infrastructure
project to accommodate expected growth in the
nations most populous state, which now has 37
million people. He said the project is sorely
needed to create jobs in a region with higher-
than-average unemployment.
Members of the state Senate voted 21-16
along party lines after intense lobbying by
Brown, Democratic leaders and labor groups.
The bill, which passed the state Assembly on
Thursday, now heads to Brown for his signa-
ture.
The Legislature took bold action today that
gets Californians back to work and puts
California out in front once again, Brown said
in a statement. The governor celebrated with
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg of
Sacramento, a fellow Democrat, in the law-
makers ofce right after the vote.
The rst segment of the line will run from
Madera to Bakerseld. The nal cost of the
completed project from Los Angeles to San
Francisco would be $68 billion.
Republicans blasted the Senate decision, cit-
ing the states ongoing budget problems.
Its unfortunate that the majority would
rather spend billions of dollars that we dont
have for a train to nowhere than keep schools
open and harmless from budget cuts, Sen.
Tom Harman, R-Huntington Beach, said in a
statement.
Sen. Ted Gaines, R-Granite Bay, said the
project would push California over a scal
cliff.
It will require endless subsidies and will
blast a massive hole into our budget, Gaines
said in a statement.
The Bay Area Council, a group of business
leaders from the San Francisco Bay and Silicon
Valley areas, cheered the vote. The council
backed the 2008 statewide bond measure
regarding the rail line and had been working to
sway legislators in support of the project in
recent weeks.
This is a courageous step forward for
Californias future, said its president and
CEO, Jim Wunderman.
In recent days, Democratic leaders included
more funding to improve existing rail systems
in an effort to entice support for the bullet train.
The bill now allocates a total of $1.9 billion
in bonds for regional rail improvements in
Northern and Southern California. The
upgrades include electrifying Caltrain, a San
Jose-San Francisco commuter line, and
improving Metrolink commuter lines in
Southern California.
Dan Richard, chairman of the California
High-Speed Rail Authority, which is managing
the project, said California would have lost bil-
lions of dollars in federal aid if the Senate fails
to pass the bill before adjourning Friday for a
monthlong recess. California entered a contract
that called for the federal government to pro-
vide money for building the Central Valley seg-
ment if the state also put up its share, he said.
Not only will California be the rst state in
the nation to build a high-speed rail system to
connect our urban centers, we will also mod-
ernize and improve rail systems at the local and
regional level, Richard said.
California was able to secure more federal
aid than expected after Florida, Ohio and
Wisconsin turned down money.
Steinberg, the Senate leader, said the vote
signaled the biggest, boldest public works
project in decades in California. He likened it
to the state water project that was rst under-
taken by Browns father, Gov. Pat Brown, in
the late 1950s. The massive network of dams,
reservoirs and canals is still used today.
The bill approved Friday authorizes the state
to sell a portion of a $10 billion high-speed rail
bond that voters approved in 2008 under
Proposition 1A. The bond passed with 53 per-
cent support, but a recent Field Poll showed
support for Browns November proposal to
temporarily raise state sales and income taxes
could slip considerably if lawmakers approved
funding for high-speed rail.
Before Fridays vote, at least half a dozen
Democrats in the 40-member Senate remained
opposed, skeptical or uncommitted. Some were
concerned about how the vote would impact
their political futures, while others were wary
about nancing and management of the mas-
sive project.
One dissenter, Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo
Alto, said public support had waned for the
project, and there were too many questions
about nancing to complete it.

Letters to the editor
Budgeting Foster City style
Editor,
During a May council meeting, our City
Council in an apparent 4-1 vote approved a
recommendation by staff to transfer $2.65
million from discretionary General Fund
reserves to employee compensation in the
form of a reserve for Compensated Absences
Internal Service Fund. This will result in
$2.65 million of city employee compensation
that has not and never will be presented in
the operating budget for Foster City. So when
you hear of a $1.6 million structural budget,
keep in mind that this $2.65 million was
never considered an operating expense.
Based upon the councils denition, this rep-
resents 37 percent of the general funds dis-
cretionary reserve of $7 million. Perhaps of
greater concern is the precedent that has been
established.
Foster City has a $22 million unfunded
pension liability to its employees. This $22
million is the amount owed to city employees
that has never been included as an operating
cost to the city. At the same May meeting,
the council approved staffs recommendation
that staff explore investing available funds by
pre-paying this $22 million unfunded liabili-
ty. Where else but government would the
payment of an unfunded liability be consid-
ered an investment? Please see the preceding
paragraph and consider whether it is likely
that a future staff and council will simply
transfer this investment from its investment
status to offset the unfunded liability and
presto $22 million in employee compensation
paid without the bother of balancing the
citys budget. Perhaps another way to think
of this is that the City Council is selling land
owned by the city to pay city employee com-
pensation.
It is also interesting to note in passing that
while Foster City has a structural decit of
$1.6 million for the coming year, the council
apparently determined that it was unneces-
sary to negotiate the contracts of the public
safety unions that concluded on June 30,
2012. Other than apparently minor tweaks
agreed to roll these union contracts over for
another year. Union contracts, under the
Brown Act, are discussed in private by the
council and staff so that the public doesnt
benet from knowing what the council dis-
cussed with the union representatives and
staff.

Response to mandates
Editor,
Partly in response to Joe Galligans letter
published in the July 3 edition of the Daily
Journal, whether one calls a required pay-
ment a mandate, a penalty or a tax doesnt
make much difference in the end, except pos-
sibly in the case of a tax deduction. With
regard to Obama-Romney Care, I happen
to believe, like essentially every other nation
in the civilized western world, that access to
affordable health care, whether needed or
not, should be a right and not a privilege.
If a person decides to opt out of having
coverage, the cost is $95 per year the rst
two years, or up to 1 percent of income, and
then rises to $695, or up to 2.5 percent of
income. Low-income individuals or families
that are above Medicaid level and up to 400
percent of the federal poverty level can
receive subsidies on a sliding scale to buy
coverage.
In my opinion, responsible people should
carry health insurance because the rest of us
otherwise bear the tax burden or increased
insurance premiums due to the uninsured
who end up in emergency rooms or worse, in
the hospital, many of whom are unable to
afford to pay their medical bills.
And back to mandates, nobody has a
choice in all 50 states not to carry automobile
liability insurance if they drive a vehicle, and
the young, healthy drivers pay a hefty tax
for that responsible coverage without a
choice of opting out.

Government health care
Editor,
I read Joe Galligans whine about Obamas
health care program increasing taxes on the
middle class (Obama taxes all of the middle
class in the July 3 edition of the Daily
Journal). Shame on the Daily Journal for
publishing such blatant ction. The only peo-
ple who will be paying the tax (penalty) are
those who refuse to get health care insurance.
Those same people who have been using the
emergency departments of hospitals for their
personal rst aid centers will now have to
pay for health insurance or pay a penalty.
Joe, your cable news is not telling you the
fair and balanced truth.

Letter writer Christopher Conway wants
his god, imaginary or not, to bless an
America that has no compassion for those in
need (in response to the letter God bless
America in the June 14 edition of the Daily
Journal). He denes the sick, the poor and
the most vulnerable in society as takers.
Even the young born with diseases and
defects due to industrial pollution are respon-
sible for their own fate, not those businesses
that caused the environmental destruction in
selsh pursuit of ever more prots, breaking
regulations wherever they could get away
with it.
How Mr. Conway is able to twist around
what I write as being anti-American totally
dees logic. Instead of hating America, as
he so frivolously claims, I love an America
with compassion for the less fortunate and
those in need. I also believe that the America
I respect and have worked hard for deserves
more than falling victim to the greedy who
dont seem to understand that it ultimately is
in their own interest to strive for a healthy
nation, where everyone has a fair chance for
a productive, happy life even those who
start out without as much as a spoon in their
mouth, nevermind one of more precious
metal.

Setting the record straight
Editor,
Many thanks to Tiburon resident Barbara
Kautz for setting the record straight on the
visit of Daily Journal columnist Sue Lempert
to the Hollywood Park Casino in the early
1990s in her letter to the editor Turning
down card room was a good decision in the
June 28 edition of the Daily Journal.
Now that I know that Ms. Lempert made
up most of her article, Bay Meadows comes
to life in the June 18 edition of the Daily
Journal, on the trip to the race track (card
club/track closed, smoke-lled rooms, loss of
courage exhibited by card players, etc.), I am
no longer despondent. Thanks again,
Barbara.
One question, Ms. Kautz: How did you
determine which card players were citizens
losing money they could not afford? Of
course I am sure that you and Ms. Lempert
talked to these card players and I was won-
dering what questions were asked and the
answers you were given. Please give Daily
Journal readers a little feedback.
Thanks again you seem to be very
knowledgeable about gaming.

Long way from change
Editor,
There never was an Arab Spring. There
were political protests against corruption,
incompetence and oppression, but the move-
ments were not pro-democracy. They were
anti-government and that is a difference that
many western liberals missed. It is unrealistic
to expect people who have never been taught
the values of tolerance and democracy to
suddenly embrace those concepts. The Arab
world is dominated by religious values which
are not egaliatarian and democratic. Respect
for minorities is not commonplace. Islamic
practice is to treat non-Muslims differently
under the principles of dhimmitude.
Women and homosexuals are treated poorly.
I have seen nothing in the last few months in
Egypt, Libya, Syria, etc. to indicate that there
has been a shift in these attitudes. The victo-
ry of the Muslim Brotherhood reinforces my
opinion that an Arab Spring is still a long
ways off.

Title IX, and progress
Longmont (Colo.) Times-Call
W
omen in sports. Forty years ago,
few ever got an equal chance to
see that. Title IX set out to
change that backward way of thinking. That,
and legendary female tennis player Billie
Jean King.
Title IX was the federal civil rights law
prohibiting sex discrimination in education
that passed in 1972. King showed this coun-
try what could happen if women were given
an equal chance. Today, few can comprehend
the logic of women being denied that right.
Take a moment to applaud the steps taken
over the past 40 years.
The applause is over. There is still work
our society must do.
How many women do you see coaching
Division I mens college basketball? Or col-
lege football? How many women do you see
coaching men or boys sports at any level? Or
women athletic directors? Or front ofce per-
sonnel in pro sports, say a general manager
or owner?
The answer: not enough.
The world of sports writing is doing its
part with a concerted effort to hire more
women. The major professional sports
leagues, all levels of college and high school
sports should follow those efforts. If they do,
40 years from now, fans might see a woman
coach the Denver Broncos.

Political
change
in Mexico
Chattanooga (Tenn.) Times
E
nrique Pena Nieto, who won
Mexicos presidential election this
past week, campaigned on a pledge
to restore peace and prosperity to a nation
increasingly weary of drug violence and slow
economic growth. His slender margin of vic-
tory and lingering worries about the turbulent
role his party has played in Mexicos history,
however, suggest that many of his country-
men worry about Pena Nietos ability to
honor that pledge. That is a concern, too, for
the United States.
The two nations are inextricably entwined.
What occurs south of the nations shared bor-
der almost always has an impact north of it.
Mexico is the United States third largest
trading partner and, for better or worse, it
also is directly involved in the immigration,
drug and gun issues that play a major role in
U.S. politics and policies at both the state
and federal level.
Pena Nieto faces several challenges.
Whether the newly elected presidents
claim is correct will determine how he is
accepted at home and the international role
he ultimately will play. If he helps create a
better, safer and less corrupt society, hell
unite his people, burnish his partys tarnished
reputation and play a major role in cross-bor-
der and global affairs.
If he does not, Mexicos festering econom-
ic problems that prompt waves of people to
cross into the United States illegally will
continue. The power and inuence of organ-
ized crime and its ability to trafc drugs like-
ly would grow as well. That would exacer-
bate the already difcult U.S.-Mexican rela-
tionship.
Americans have a vested interest in Pena
Nietos presidency, but they can do little to
inuence its success or failure. When all is
said and done, the United States must wait to
see if he can honor his pledges.

NEW YORK Investors abandoned
stocks Friday after the U.S. government
reported that only 80,000 jobs were cre-
ated in June, the third straight month of
weak hiring.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
124.20 points to close at 12,772.47. The
loss wiped out the Dows gain for the
week.
The reluctance of U.S. employers to
add jobs shows that the economy is still
struggling three years after the recession
officially ended. An average of just
75,000 jobs were created every month in
the April-June quarter, far below the
226,000 created every month in the rst
three months of the year.
It shows the U.S. economy is losing
momentum, said Sharon Stark, chief
market strategist at the brokerage rm
Sterne Agee. Its a sign of everyone
waiting to see whats next.
Of the 30 stocks in the Dow average,
only ve rose, including McDonalds
and AT&T. The worlds largest producer
of aluminum, Alcoa, and Caterpillar, the
construction equipment maker, were
among the hardest-hit Dow stocks with
declines of about 3 percent each.
Materials and industrial companies are
the most likely to suffer if the economy
weakens.
The anemic jobs report led investors to
shift money into low-risk assets. The
price of the 10-year Treasury note rose,
sending its yield down to 1.55 percent
from 1.60 percent late Thursday. The
dollar rose against the euro.
The sluggish growth in American jobs
comes at a time when the global econo-
my is also losing pace. Central banks in
Europe and China took action Thursday
to prop up their sliding economies.
The new signs of economic sluggish-
ness around the world sent commodities
prices lower. Crude oil dropped $2.77, or
3 percent, to $84.45 a barrel. The U.S. is
the worlds biggest oil consumer, and the
prospect of lower demand pushed down
prices.
Energy stocks followed the price of oil
lower. Peabody Energy fell $1.27, or
close to 5 percent, to $24.86, while
Alpha Natural Resources declined 60
cents, or 6.5 percent, to $8.67.
In other trading on Wall Street, the
Standard & Poors 500 slid 12.90 points,
or 0.9 percent, to 1,354.68 and the
Nasdaq composite fell 38.79 points, or
1.3 percent, to 2,937.33.
One of the reasons stocks fell is that
though the jobs report was weak, the
country isnt heading into a recession.

SAN FRANCISCO Facebook and
Yahoo have agreed to settle a patent dis-
pute, averting a potentially lengthy battle
over the technology running two of the
Internets most popular destinations.
In dropping the lawsuits, the compa-
nies agreed Friday to license their patents
to each other. They are also agreeing to
an advertising alliance that expands their
existing partnership.
The advertising alliance could help
Yahoo recover some of the revenue that it
has been losing as marketers shift more
of their spending to a larger and more
engaged audience on Facebooks online
social network.
Fridays settlement involves no
exchange of money and comes after a
months-long patent squabble between
the two Internet icons.
The truce ends a conict provoked by
Yahoos short-lived CEO, Scott
Thompson, who was dumped from the
job two months ago after misinformation
on his ofcial biography raised questions
about his integrity.
Under Thompson, Yahoo filed the
patent lawsuit in March, wielding it as a
weapon against a company that
Thompson believed had been prospering
from the ideas of its older rival. The com-
plaint alleged that Facebook infringed on
10 Yahoo patents covering Internet
advertising, privacy controls and social
networks. Yahoo Inc. added two more
patents to the lawsuit later.
But Thompsons attack on Facebook
Inc. quickly turned into a public-relations
disaster. Much of the technology indus-
try railed against Yahoos tactics. Critics
viewed the lawsuit as a nancial shake-
down by a desperate company whose
well of innovation had run dry.
New York venture capitalist Fred
Wilson summed up the enmity toward
Yahoo in an acerbic blog post that ended
with this denouement: I am writing this
in outrage at Yahoo. I used to care about
that company for some reason. No more.
They are dead to me. Dead and gone. I
hate them now.
Yahoo, Facebook in adalliance
WORKING IT OUT: Facebook and
Yahoo have settled their months-long
patent dispute, averting a potentially
lengthy battle over the technology
running two of the Internets most
popular destinations.
NEW DEAL:In dropping the lawsuits,
the companies agreed to license their
patents to each other. They also
formed an advertising alliance that
expands their existing partnership.No
money will exchange hands in the
settlement.
FRIENDS?The advertising deal could
help Yahoo recover some revenue
that it has lost as marketers shift more
spending to a larger and more
engaged audience on Facebooks
online social network. Facebook, in
turn, gets to show ads tailored to its
900 million users in other heavily
trafcked areas besides its own
website.
The fight ends
By Chris Kahn
NEW YORK Irans ability to rattle
oil markets has been greatly diminished
by growing concerns about the world
economy.
The price of oil fell this week even
though Iran staged missile tests and
renewed threats to block key oil ship-
ments out of the Persian Gulf.
Benchmark U.S. crude dropped by $2.77,
or 3.2 percent, Friday to end the week at
$84.45 per barrel in New York.
Iran sparked a big price increase earlier
this year as it sparred with the West over
its nuclear program. When Iran held mil-
itary exercises in the Gulf at the begin-
ning of the year, oil prices climbed more
than 4 percent. Fears about a prolonged
conict and what that would do to
world oil supplies eventually drove
benchmark oil to near $110 per barrel in
February. The jump helped push U.S.
gasoline prices close to $4 per gallon.
Five months later the U.S. and Europe
are still concerned about Iran building a
nuclear weapon and have numerous eco-
nomic sanctions in place to pressure the
oil-rich country to limit its nuclear pro-
gram. Iran still refuses to comply.
The difference, experts say, is that
investors are now focusing on growing
evidence that the global economy is slow-
ing. The U.S. isnt creating enough jobs
to lower its 8.2 percent unemployment
rate. Europe has struggled to handle a fes-
tering banking crisis and some countries
are slipping into recession.
Manufacturing activity has stalled almost
everywhere.
Iran is still trash talking, but whats
even more frightening is the bigger pic-
ture, said Tom Kloza, publisher and
chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information
Service.
Oil falls 3 percent on signs

Best Buy to cut 2,400
jobs in turnaround effort
NEW YORK Electronics retailer
Best Buy Co. is laying off 600 staffers
in its Geek Squad technical support
division and 1,800 other store workers
as it seeks to restructure operations
and improve results.
The cuts amount to about 1.4 per-
cent of the companys total staff of
167,000.
Best Buy spokesman Bruce Hight
says the layoffs are part of the compa-
nys ongoing turnaround plan. In
March, the company said it would
implement a restructuring designed to
trim $800 million in costs.
Since then, interim CEO Mike
Mikan, who is in the running for per-
manent CEO, has vowed there will be
no sacred cows as the company
reviews its business.
Shares ended the day down 15 cents
at $21.59.

There was no doubt which team was the
best in the District 52 Juniors tournament held
at Half Moon Bay.
Host Half Moon Bay ran roughshod through
the three-team tournament for players ages 13
and 14. It went 3-0 and punctuated its run to a
second-straight District 52 Juniors champi-
onship with a 12-1 win over Pacica a
game that was halted after five innings
because of the 10-run mercy rule at Half
Moon Bay High Friday evening.
I was surprised (by the nal score), said
Half Moon Bay manager James Salinero.
[Pacica is] a good team.
By virtue of winning the District 52 title,
Half Moon Bay advances to the Section 3
tournament beginning July 14. It will face the
District 14 winner a team from the
Hayward area in a rst-round game at 10
a.m. at Newark Memorial High.
Half Moon Bay put crooked numbers on the
scoreboard in the rst four innings before
nally being shut out in the fth, when there
was little worry about a Pacica comeback. It
scored 12 runs on 13 hits, including ve dou-
bles and a triple. Antonio Lopez led the attack
with three RBIs, including a two-run triple in
the rst and an RBI double in the second. Jake
Salinero went 3 for 3 with a pair of doubles
and two RBIs, scored two runs, stole two
bases and drew a walk. Alex Hacker drove in
a pair of runs with two doubles and Wyatt
Stack went 3 for 3 with a run driven in and
two runs scored.
At rst, I was worried about how we would

Xin Fang has lled her summer playing golf tournaments and has become one of the best
junior players in California.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For most high school kids, summer is a
chance to unwind from the grind of the school
year.
For Menlo-Atherton senior Xin Fang, the
three months between school years are the
busiest of the year.
As a competitive junior golfer, June and
July are a whirlwind of travel, golf and, when
she can squeeze it in, sleep.
We travel so much, sometimes Im like,
Where do we go? Fang said. It seems like
[the summer is] going by pretty slow because
I have so much going on.
The reigning Daily Journal Female Golfer
of the Year, Fang has posted some impressive
results since the summer season began. She
won the Junior Golf Association-NorCal
(JGANC) First Tee Tri-Valley Junior Open
June 10. She followed that up with a 4-over 77
and a third-place nish at the USGA Girls
Junior Qualifying tournament in Utah 10 days
later. She advanced to the seminals of the
Junior Girls State Championship, losing to
the eventual champion two week ago. This
past Monday and Tuesday, she was in Pebble
Beach playing Spyglass at the NCGA Junior
Championships, nishing in a tie for ninth out
of 35 players. She followed that with the
JGANC/NCGA Players Championship at
Rancho Caada Wednesday and Thursday,
nishing sixth out of 33 players in the 15-17
age group.
On Friday, she rested.
I think Ive done OK, but I know I can be
better, Fang said. Theres always room for
improvement. I think I started (the summer)
pretty bad. I started pretty slow, but now I
think I got my game back. Even if I have a
good round, I know I left a few strokes out
there.
Despite her recent run of success, the sum-
mer season could not have started any worse
for Fang. She found herself in a tournament
the day after the last day of school and to say
she was rusty would be an understatement.
She hit into the hazard three times on the rst
hole and posted a 10. She hit into the hazard
again on the second hole and, by the time she
walked off the green, she was already at 9-
over after just two holes.
Needless to say, there were no thoughts of
making a charge on the back nine.
I think everyone has that round (at some
point). I remember thinking, Oh wow! So
this is how its going to go? That was a pret-
ty bad day, playing-wise, but I moved on. Golf
is not a game where you can not do it for a
while and pick it back up and be amazing,
Fang said. After that, I had like three days
(off) and I just practiced every single day.
After the bad round, it motivated me to prac-
tice and get better. Obviously, it was embar-
rassing. I dont even remember (what I shot).
I dont want to think about it.
Obviously Fang has turned her summer sea-
son around since that initial meltdown. And
the summer isnt over. Monday shell be at
Fountain Grove Athletic Club in Santa Rosa,
playing in the USGA Womens Amateur
Qualier. The following week, Fang will be in
Oregon at Centennial Golf Club for a tourna-
ment, then to Marin Country Club in Novato
for the Corena Green Classic tournament, and
then its back to the Monterey Peninsula and
two days playing Poppy Hills.
She thinks, maybe, her schedule will slow
down in August.
By the time she fully recovers from the

WIMBLEDON, England For Roger
Federer, its Wimbledon nal No. 8.
For Andy Murray, its No. 1 and the rst
for a British man since 1938.
Federer, a 16-time Grand Slam champion,
beat defending champion Novak Djokovic 6-
3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 Friday under the closed roof at
Centre Court to reach a modern-era record
eighth nal at the All England Club. He is now
one victory from equaling Pete Sampras
record of seven titles.
I have one more match to go. Im aware of
that, said Federer, who is 6-1 in Wimbledon
nals. Still, its always nice beating someone
like Novak, who has done so well here last
year, the last couple years.
The next challenge will come Sunday
against Murray, who is the rst British man to
even reach the Wimbledon nal since Bunny
Austin 74 years ago.
Murray, also trying to
become the British man to
win the Wimbledon title
since Fred Perry in 1936,
beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-
3, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 in the sec-
ond seminal.
If Federer does win
Sunday in his 24th Grand
Slam nal, the 30-year-old
Swiss would also take the No. 1 ranking from
Djokovic and equal Sampras record of 286
weeks as the top-ranked player.
Theres obviously a lot on the line for me
in terms of winning here, the all-time Grand
Slam record, world No. 1, Federer said. Im
also going into that match with some pressure,
but Im excited about it. Thats what I play
for.
Federer and Djokovic went for winners on
almost every point. But it was Federer who
got the key points when
they mattered in the third
set.
Its hard to re bullets
the whole time, so you try
to also nd some range. If
he tees off rst, its hard to
defend obviously, said
Federer, now 1-0 against
Djokovic on grass. Its
just not as easy to take that
many balls out and come up with amazing
shots time and time again. Thats why I kept
on attacking.
At 4-4, Djokovic had his chance with only
his third break point of the match. Federer
held with three service winners.
Moments later, while serving to stay in the
set and, essentially, the match Djokovic
gifted Federer a pair of break points by blast-
ing an overhead long with much of the court
open. He saved one, but Federers overhead
smash on the second gave the Swiss great the
third set, and put him on the way to the nal.
(I) had unfortunately a bad service game
on 5-4, and obviously he uses his opportuni-
ties when theyre presented, said Djokovic,
who had reached the last four major nals.
So you have to be always consistent. I was-
nt.
The win improved Federers semifinal
record at the All England Club to 8-0. His
only loss in the nal came in 2008, when
Rafael Nadal beat him 9-7 in the fth set.
I hope I can keep my nerves, said Federer,
looking toward the nal. Im sure I can. Then
hopefully win the match. But well see about
that.
William Renshaw and Arthur Gore also
played in eight Wimbledon nals but that was
when the defending champion received a bye
into the following years title match. That rule
was changed in 1922. Renshaw won seven
titles and Gore three.

METZ, France Peter Sagan of Slovakia
avoided a bloody, across-the-road pileup to cap-
ture a stage for the third time at the Tour de
France on Friday while Fabian Cancellara of
Switzerland also steered clear of the mayhem to
keep the yellow jersey.
The 129-mile ride from Epernay to Metz
began in the Champagne region of France, with
roadside fans holding aloft glasses of bubbly to
cheer the riders.
But as the pack picked up speed to chase four
breakaway riders with about 16 miles to go, at
least two dozen riders spilled across a rural
road. Many were downed and dazed, looking
for team staffers in a jumble of injured riders
and bikes.
It was like a trench hit by a (grenade) when
I entered the crash to give my bike to Bauke,
Rabobanks Laurens Ten Dam said on Twitter,
referring to teammate Bauke Mollema. Lots of
blood and screaming. Carnage.
The U.S. Garmin-Sharp team bore the brunt
of the crash.
Tom Danielson, who nished in last years
Tour in eighth place, was already nursing a sep-
arated shoulder from a crash earlier in the week.
In Fridays spill, he was briey knocked uncon-
scious, and later rushed to a hospital for hip,
collarbone and elbow injuries. He was one of at
least four riders to drop out of the race because
of the crash.
It was the scariest crash Ive ever been in,
Garmin veteran David Millar said. He had black
marks of chain-grease all over his arm and said
the riders were going at least 43 mph at the
time.
God knows how it happened, Millar said.

A new diet, a new team and some superb riding have Ryan
Dungey at the top of motocross standings, in good position for his
second championship in three years.
All thats missing is the competition.
Ryan Villopoto, Chad Reed and James Stewart, all former
champions, have been out with injuries, leaving the sport without
three of its top riders and Dungey to race against less-experienced
competition.
Disappointing? A little. As a competitor,
Dungey wants to win by beating the best. He
also understands the risks involved in such a
dangerous sport and that staying on the bike
is just as important as making it go fast.
Its a bummer theyre gone and I hate to
win races like that, but at the same time Ive
got to focus on each race at a time, Dungey
said. Theres a race to be won and thats
what the focus has to be on.
Dungey was a star out of the gates in his
rst season in the 450cc class, becoming the rst rookie to sweep
the Supercross and motocross titles in 2010.
Last season was the year of Villopoto. After a horric injury in
2010, he swept both titles last year, along with earning the rst $1
million payday in motocross history by capturing the Monster
Energy Cup in Las Vegas.
Villopoto kept rolling to start 2012, wrapping up the
Supercross title with four races to go, the earliest anyone had
clinched the title in the sports 39-year history, but suffered a knee
injury in Seattle that knocked him out of the outdoor season.
Chad Reed also was injured during the Supercross season, set-
ting up what was expected to be a showdown between Dungey
and Stewart, two former training partners.
For a while, it lived up to the billing.
Stewart, racing on the outdoor circuit for the rst time in three
years, opened with two victories ahead of Dungey. But Stewart
injured his wrist in the rst moto at Thunder Valley in Colorado,
and didnt race the second. Dungey won there and the following
week at High Point in Pennsylvania, when Stewart, still strug-
gling with a sore wrist, nished fth in the rst moto and again
couldnt go in the second.
Stewart is expected to be back this weekend for the Redbud
National at Glen Helen Raceway in Buchanan, Mich., but
Dungey has developed a commanding lead 54 points ahead of
Mike Alessi in second, with Stewart well back in seventh.
Its easy to get caught up in looking at the whole race season
and seeing how you want to do, but what it really comes down to
is simplifying things and putting one race at a time and living in
the moment, Dungey said. Its great to be on the podium every
weekend, but I just need to let all the preparation Ive done take
over and do all the talking.
Dungey gured to be on his way to a solid season whether his
top competitors were around or not.
After ve years riding for Suzuki, Dungey made a somewhat
risky move by joining Red Bull KTM, a manufacturer that had
struggled to nd the consistent success of the big factories like
Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda and Kawasaki.
After an early adjustment period and ghting past a shoulder
injury, Dungey started to gel with his new team late in the
Supercross season, winning the nal two races to nish third in
the standings behind Villopoto and Davi Millsaps.
The 22-year-old from Belle Plaine, Minn., has continued his
strong ride to start the outdoor season, winning two races while
nishing second in the other two.
Its been a great experience with the new bike, the new team,
kind of a whole new atmosphere, Dungey said. I spent my rst
ve years of my professional career with Suzuki, so the switch
was something different, but its been good.
A new diet has helped.
Feeling sluggish at times over the past year, he went through a
series of medical tests to gure out if something was wrong. The
tests revealed that he had allergies to milk and eggs, two foods he
ate nearly every day.
Since switching to a gluten-free diet, Dungey has noticed a big
difference in his energy level.
When you eat it, your body tries to ght it like its ghting a
cold and you feel a little down, Dungey said. Overall, getting
rid of the stuff I was slightly allergic to I feel better, think clearer,
feel stronger in my training, just putting in more productive days.
And there have been a lot of those so far in this motocross sea-
son.

MIAMI Ray Allen will take less money for a chance at
another NBA championship.
Allen told the Miami Heat on Friday night that he intends to
accept their contract offer and leave Boston after ve seasons,
even though the Celtics could pay him about twice as much as
the reigning NBA champions will be able to next season. Miami
could only offer Allen the mini mid-level, worth about $3 mil-
lion a year.
Heat owner Micky Arison tweeted the news just after 9:30
p.m., or about 2:30 a.m. Saturday in Europe, where Arison has
been for several days.
I was just woken up with great news,
Arison wrote. Welcome to the family.
Arison ended the tweet by making mention
of Allens jersey No. 20, and didnt mention
the NBAs leading 3-point shooter by name.
A person briefed on details of the deci-
sion told The Associated Press that Arison
got the word from Heat President Pat Riley,
who made Allen the teams top free-agent
priority especially in recent days. Allen,
who will be 37 this month, arrived in Miami on Thursday for a
visit, went to dinner with Riley, coach Erik Spoelstra, team
executive Alonzo Mourning and others Thursday night, then
left Friday to presumably decide his future.
Hours later, the choice was made. Allens agent, James
Tanner, conrmed the decision to the AP not long after Arisons
tweet.
Allen, who made a career-best 45 percent of his 3-point
attempts this past season cannot ofcially sign until Wednesday
because of the leagues moratorium.
Allen becomes the latest player to be sold by Riley on the
notion of sacrice since the blockbuster summer of 2010. The
Heat convinced LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh
all to take less money than they could have made elsewhere in
that offseason, so there would be enough room left to add play-
ers like Udonis Haslem, Mario Chalmers and Mike Miller. Then
last summer, Shane Battier accepted a deal that will pay him $3
million annually.,
The approach clearly worked. Next fall, the Heat will raise a
championship banner, and Allen will be with them for the title
defense.
HeatNation continues to grow, Wade wrote on Twitter late
Friday night. And James added, please welcome our newest
teammate Ray Allen with the added hashtag of Wow.
Wade and James both were involved on some level in the
recruitment of Allen. James took to Twitter and Facebook in
recent days to let his millions of followers know how much he
wanted to see Allen in a Heat uniform, and Wade tweeted on
Wednesday that the next day the one where Allen was visit-
ing would be a big one for the franchise.

LOS ANGELES Anthony Wayne Smith spent seven years as a
menacing defensive end for the Oakland and Los Angeles Raiders
whose mission was to put quarterbacks on the turf.
Authorities believe that penchant for a game of violence turned into
something more sinister shortly after Smith departed professional
football.
Already awaiting retrial for a murder four years ago, Smith was
charged this week with three additional murders, including the slay-
ings of two brothers who prosecutors said were kidnapped and
robbed by men posing as police ofcers.
The most recent charges paint a portrait of a man who authorities
say turned to brazen crime, but leaves the question of why he needed
to after a somewhat successful career.
Smith, now 45, was drafted 11th overall by the Raiders in 1990 and
amassed 57 1/2 sacks and 190 tackles while as a defensive end in the
NFL. In 1993, Smith had 12 1/2 sacks, helping put the Raiders in the
playoffs. The team lost in the AFC divisional round to Buffalo 29-23.
Smith retired in 1998 and according to authorities took part in the
murders of Kevin and Ricky Nettles in November 1999.
The siblings were kidnapped from a car wash in Los Angeles by
two men posing as police ofcers, and they were later found shot to
death, said Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles
County district attorneys ofce. The victims bodies were dumped
about eight miles apart from one another.
Smith also was charged in the June 2001 killing of Dennis
Henderson, who, along with another man, was kidnapped in Los
Angeles by several gunmen, Gibbons said. The victims were put in
separate cars, and while the other man was let go, Hendersons body
was found in a rental car. Authorities said Henderson was beaten and
stabbed to death.
Los Angeles police detectives began working on the trio of old
murders in April 2011. Several search warrants were served and wit-
nesses were interviewed, said police Cmdr. Andrew Smith.

summer season, her senior year at M-A will be
in full swing. While the high school golf season
isnt nearly as stressful as the summer season,
Fang said the addition of school and applying
to colleges will make up for the missing stress-
es of golf.
I still want to beat everybody (during the
high school season), but I feel like I need to
focus a lot on school, Fang said. Im going to
be taking four [advanced placement classes]. I
just have to adjust back to school work. Its
going to be pretty hectic, along with golf.
In fact, if there is one thing Fang works hard-
er on than golf, its her studies. Given the time
shes put into school, carrying a 4.3 grade point
average, Fang expects to have a career outside
of golf once she graduates college.
I feel like [being a professional golfer is]
kind of difcult. Ive heard some things about
the (professional) tour that its not nancially
benecial, Fang said. Ive also worked pretty
hard at school, so I want to pursue engineering
or medicine or something like that.

hit their pitcher, James Salinero said. Their
pitcher is a really good pitcher. He has a good
curveball and our boys dealt with it well.
Half Moon Bay wasted little time in putting
pressure on Pacica, scoring three times in the top
of the rst inning. With one out, Jake Salinero dou-
bled and Tommy Nuo reached on an error. Both
runners came home on Lopezs triple. He jumped
on the rst pitch and sent the ball into the left-cen-
ter eld gap to put Half Moon Bay up 2-0. Lopez
scored on an Andy Goldbach groundout.
Pacica, however, looked poised to make a
game of it as it scored what turned out to be its
only run in the bottom of the frame. With one out,
Mills Notmeyor singled, followed by a Jacob
Braslaw double. Matt Lavorni drove in Notmeyor
on a groundout and it appeared Pacica was just
getting warmed up.
But then Jake Salinero, Half Moon Bays start-
ing pitcher, settled down. He only allowed three
more hits the rest of the way all coming in the
fourth inning as he went the distance in pick-
ing up the win, throwing only 51 pitches in the
process.
He struck out only one, meaning his defense
had to be strong and it responded. Although Half
Moon Bay did commit a couple errors, they didnt
hurt the team.
Our defense was amazing, James Salinero
said.
As for his sons outing on the mound: I think
(that run in the rst was due) the excitement, but
hes been here before.
With Half Moon Bay locking down Pacica
defensively, its bats continued to re on all cylin-
ders. It scored three more runs in the second inning
on four hits to take a 6-1 lead. Pablo Gutierrez led
off the inning with an ineld hit and stole second.
Hacker came up and blasted a 3-2 pitch into the
right-center eld gap for an RBI double.
Following a groundout, pinch runner Ryan Yerby
scored on a Jake Salinero single and he later
crossed the plate on a Lopez double to the left-cen-
ter eld gap.
The biggest inning of the game for Half Moon
Bay came in the third when it scored four times on
four hits, taking advantage of two Pacica errors in
pushing its lead to 10-1. James Cartwright, Max
Jenkins and Stack all singled for Half Moon Bay,
with Stack driving in Cartwright and Hart Ayoob
driving in Jenkins. Phillip Anderson drove in the
third run of the inning and made it to second base
on a pair of Pacica errors and ended up scoring
on Jake Salineros second double of the game.
Half Moon Bay rounded out the scoring in the
fourth, with Hacker driving in Ian Goldbach with
his second double of the contest and Jake Salinero
drawing a bases-loaded walk.
Our bats, thats what we were waiting to come
alive, James Salinero said.

added solo homers, but couldnt stop
Pittsburgh from having its four-game winning
streak snapped.
Erik Bedard (4-10) endured another short
outing, failing to get through the fourth inning
as the Giants turned a three-run decit into a
5-3 lead behind Cabreras two-run homer.
The Giants have slumped since surging to
the top of the National League West last week,
losing ve of six. The offense has sputtered
while the pitching hasnt been much help. San
Francisco surrendered 24 runs while getting
swept in Washington earlier in the week,
including a 6-5 victory Thursday in which the
Giants squandered a four-run lead.
There would be no collapse Friday after San
Francisco jumped on the slumping Bedard.
The veteran left-hander has been shaky over
the last six weeks, battling control issues and
a breaking ball that has sometimes betrayed
him. Hes been steady at home coming in
with a 2-2 record and a 2.31 ERA and
looked to be ready for a bounce-back per-
formance while cruising through the rst three
innings.
Things unraveled quickly in the fourth.
Justin Christian led off with a walk, came
home on a double by Theriot and Cabrera fol-
lowed with a two-run shot to left. Buster
Posey walked on four pitches and Pablo
Sandoval scratched out an ineld hit before
Bedard could record a single out.
The Giants pushed two more runs across the
plate on an RBI single by Sanchez and an
error by Pittsburgh shortstop Josh Harrison
that brought home Sandoval as San Francisco
jumped ahead 5-3.
Zito held on to grind through ve innings.
He gave up four runs on seven hits, walking
three and striking out three while needing 91
pitches to get 15 outs.
Unlike Thursdays meltdown against the
Nationals in which San Franciscos bullpen
wobbled, this time the Giants closed it out to
blunt some of Pittsburghs momentum. Romo,
lling in while Casilla got the night off to let
a blister on his right (pitching) hand heel,
retired the side in order, getting McCutchen to
ground out to third to end it and stie the
MVP! chants the All-Star center elder gets
every time he steps to the plate.
The Pirates have been one of baseballs
biggest surprises and appeared ready to post
their first five-game winning streak since
September 2010 after getting to Zito early.
McCutchen who leads baseball with a
whopping .456 average against lefties
knocked in Harrison with a single in the rst
and brought him home again in the third with
a triple to left-center eld.
When McCutchen trotted home on Neil
Walkers double two batters later, the capacity
crowd buzzed at the prospect of the Pirates
climbing 11 games over .500 for the rst time
since the end of the 1992 season.
The Giants needed one big inning to regain
control as Cabrera, who will play in his rst
All-Star game on Tuesday, stayed hot on
McCutchens heels in the NL batting race.

TOUR DE FRANCE STANDINGS
By Jenna Chambers
I
remember the rst time someone asked
me that inevitable question dreaded by
most students as it weighs down on us
heavily, even more so as we get older.
It starts as, what do
you want to be when you
grow up? and then
becomes what do you
plan to major in/study in
college? followed by,
what do you plan to do
with that major?
The rst time someone
asked me what I wanted
to be when I grew up, I
was 10 and little bit caught off guard. It sud-
denly occurred to me that I had never actual-
ly thought about what I wanted to do with
my life. I quickly thought of something and
answered, an actress.
Never in my life had I ever expressed that I
wanted to become and actress when I grew
up. I was actually extremely shy as a child
and absolutely detested any drama classes in
which we were forced to participate. I didnt
even like going up in front of the class to
perform any brief skits we had to do occa-
sionally.
Lucky for me, when we are young, ques-
tions about what we want to be when we
grow up are quite casual and the responses
we give are often taken lightly. Were not
expected to answer this question seriously
and its often unlikely that our response will
come true.
I took full advantage of the fact that, as
children, we could tell people that we wanted
to be anything and it wouldnt matter. In mid-
dle school, I really started to think about it
and came to the conclusion I was destined to
become a hairstylist. I spent the next three
years researching what it would be like to be
a hairstylist, interviewing my hairdresser and
practicing hair styles on my mom. I even
went so far as to create a business plan for
my hair salon that was to be located in San
Francisco.
As we mature and become high school stu-
dents, the question of what we want to do is
asked more frequently and suddenly carries a
new tone. We are expected to answer this
question on a more serious level and give a
response that is likely to come true.
Only I wasnt aware of this when I got to
high school and the very rst meeting I had
with my guidance counselor as a freshman, I

The sun, in its various hues
and levels of intensity, plays
an important role in Oliver
Stones latest, Savages.
In the beginning of this tale
of sex, drugs, money and
power, it illuminates an idyllic
decadence. It warms every-
thing in a glow that suggests
anything is possible, in a way
thats hazy and almost halluci-
natory. But such a lifestyle
cant be maintained forever
thats just the way these sto-
ries tend to go. And so eventu-
ally, especially in the lms
bloody desert climax, the sun
bakes everyone mercilessly,
bleaching away the colors and
revealing the characters true
natures.
Regardless of which side of
the battle theyre on, its clear
theyve all become savages.
Sounds intense, and Stones
lm is indeed a lurid, pulpy
Stone back in bold form
By David Germain
LOS ANGELES Taylor
Kitsch struck out twice this
year in the failed lms John
Carter and Battleship,
spoiling the Friday Night
Lights actors hopes to leap
from TV to big-screen star.
Now, Kitsch has a third time
at bat with Oliver Stones
drug-war thriller Savages,
opening Friday.
While the actor regrets the
two previous movies opped,
hes actually a bit relieved that
he can take jobs as they come
without having to work
around sequel schedules had
those films developed into
franchises.
Maybe its a blessing in dis-
Kitsch moves on from pair of flops to Savages

told her that I wanted to be a cardiovas-
cular surgeon (At the time, I had just
discovered the show Greys Anatomy).
If only words could describe the look
she had on her face after I shared this.
As students in high school and col-
lege, it seems as though were expected
to know what want to major in, what
were going to do with that major and
how exactly were going to achieve all
of this. I can say from experience that
its pretty intimidating when people
bombard students who have no clue
what they want to do and maybe
even students who do know with
these questions. I know that I cannot
condently answer that question of
what I want to major in even though
Ive already chosen a major.
I have an idea of what I might want
to do but I cannot answer either of
those questions with assurance.
However, through always being asked
that dreaded question, I cant help but
wonder if I should already know what I
want to be doing when Im 35. Should I
already know what exactly I want to
major in and what I want to do with
that major?
I might not know exactly what the
future holds for me, but one thing I can
be certain of is whatever Im des-
tined to do, I want to love doing it,
make an impact in peoples lives and be
happy doing just that.

guise that it died, and Im not tied to
these things for the next 10 years, said
Kitsch, 31. Im free to do whatever I
want now. If I want to do something in
January, February, March, April, I dont
have to go through two studios to be
greenlit.
Still, Kitsch started the year with the
prospect of two studio blockbusters that
could have given him steady work for
years to come in the continuing adven-
tures of Edgar Rice Burroughs Mars
hero Carter and in more tales inspired
by the board game Battleship.
With a bloated budget and fan indif-
ference that resulted in feeble domestic
box office of just $73 million, John
Carter inflicted a $200 million loss on
distributor Disney and helped precipi-
tate the departure of the studios chair-
man, Rich Ross.
Universals Battleship did fair busi-
ness overseas ahead of its domestic
debut, but it floundered at U.S. theaters
in the wake of the blockbuster receipts
hauled in by The Avengers.
Yet Kitsch doesnt regard the films as
wasted efforts. I feel I grew an
immense amount as an actor. On so
many levels, it tested me. I wouldnt
change a thing. I wouldnt take any of
those choices back, Kitsch said. I
love what Im doing. Ive started to get
excited again, and I think, obviously, it
was hard on me that they didnt work.
You have bosses, we all have bosses,
you want to do well for them. But I
gave everything I had.
That dedicated work wasnt lost on
Stone, who had seen Kitsch on Friday
Night Lights and cast him in
Savages after catching an early cut of
Battleship.
Adapted from the novel by Don
Winslow, Savages features Kitsch as
a take-no-prisoners U.S. veteran of the
war on terror, who partners with his
best pal (Aaron Johnson) to run a
Southern California marijuana business
growing and selling the worlds finest
weed.
Kitsch and Johnsons characters are
hurled into a bloody battle with a
Mexican drug cartel in Savages,
whose cast includes Blake Lively, John
Travolta, Salma Hayek and Benicio Del
Toro.
He was very masculine, a very
strong and attractive guy but seemed
like a solid guy, a guy who could be an
ex-Afghani, Iraqi war veteran who
would back his man to the end and
bring his team out with him, Stone
said of Kitsch.
Kitsch grew up in British Columbia
and got his start in Hollywood in such
movies as Snakes on a Plane and
John Tucker Must Die before landing
a starring role on Friday Night
Lights.
Peter Berg, who directed the big-
screen Friday Night Lights and was
an executive producer on the TV spin-
off, also directed Kitsch in Battleship,
and the two are reuniting for Lone
Survivor, based on the real-life story
of Navy SEALs pursuing a Taliban
leader.
Despite the film flops, Kitsch figures
he built work relationships that might
lead to roles throughout his career.
KITSCH
lm noir but with an erotic, even dreamlike California beach
vibe. Its an intriguing contrast, this mixture of a genre and an
aesthetic that may not necessarily sound like theyd blend well
together, but the result is the most explosively poppy lm
Stone has made in a long time.
Savages is darkly funny and stylishly violent but never
reaches the overwhelming level of audiovisual assault of, say,
Natural Born Killers, for example. Directing from a script he
co-wrote with Shane Salerno and Don Winslow (based on
Winslows novel), Stone draws us into this glamorous yet
seedy world and draws strong performances from his eclectic
ensemble cast.
Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Johnson co-star as best friends and
business partners Chon and Ben, young surfer-dude bad-asses
who got rich quick growing a particularly strong strain of pot.
Chon, an ex-Navy SEAL, came home after fighting in
Afghanistan with the potent seeds and, understandably, some
residual jumpiness from the war. Ben, who studied botany at
UC Berkeley, turned those seeds into a small, independent
empire, but hes a pacist with philanthropic goals.
The two live in a spectacular Laguna Beach home with end-
less views of the Pacic Ocean. They also happily share the
affections of their mutual girlfriend, the gorgeous, blonde O
(Blake Lively), a nouveau riche Orange County princess who
benets from this arrangement in every possible way. (And
there is a whole lotta masculine, muscular nudity in this lm,
just FYI nearly as much as there was last week in Magic
Mike.)
Everyones happy until the leader of a Mexican cartel, the
regal but ruthless Elena (a fantastic, scenery-chewing Salma
Hayek) tries to expand her territory by taking over their busi-
ness. First, she sends her trusted right-hand man (an elegant
Demian Bechir) to approach them with a gentlemanly (if well-
armed) proposition. When they politely decline, with phrasing
that will come back to haunt them, she sends one of her heav-
ies (Benicio Del Toro, amusingly cartoony) to make her point
a little more clear.
Then things start to get really ugly for these beautiful peo-
ple.
Kitsch is in one mode hes the trigger-happy, intense mus-
cle of the operation but hes consistent and believable.
Johnson fares better his character has more shading and
he proves once again how versatile he is following roles as
young John Lennon in Nowhere Boy, the nerdy superhero of
Kick-Ass and the handsome but illiterate boiler repair man
in Albert Nobbs.
Lively, meanwhile, continues to expand on the unexpected
glimmers of strength she revealed in 2010s The Town, in
contrast to her glamorous persona on- and off-camera. Shes
called upon for more physical and emotional rigors than ever
before and, for the most part, rises to Stones challenge. As our
guide through this shadowy world, shes also saddled with
delivering the lms sometimes-smothering narration; some
lines that perhaps read better on paper clang on the ear, like the
one in which she states that she had orgasms while Kitschs
character had wargasms. Approaching such language (and
the voiceover in general) from the perspective that its intend-
ed as a fundamental piece of lm noir-style lmmaking makes
it more relevant, though not necessarily more tolerable.
Among the other colorful characters with something at stake
in this increasingly are John Travolta as a DEA agent on the
take and Emile Hirsch as the genius who nds complicated
ways to hide the guys money.

SAN MATEO COUNTY HISTO-
RY IS ALL AROUND YOU.
Interested in a trip through the history
of San Mateo County? Begin at The
San Mateo County History Museum, a
regional history center located in the
Old County Courthouse in Redwood
City. History comes alive as you dis-
cover the past through hands-on school
programs, interactive exhibits and a
wide range of events for both adults and
families.
ROMANCE OF THE RAIL. Now
on exhibit in the Courthouse rotunda is
Romance of the Rail, including 11 oil
paintings by award-winning artist Fred
Sinclair that depict the Southern Pacic
Railroad line from the 1930s through
the 1970s. Modern trains are a part of
our everyday lives and we often look
back to the earlier trains with a sense of
romantic nostalgia. At rst trains were
the alternative to stagecoaches and
locally they provided transport for both
freight and passengers. In 1864, the
new San Francisco-San Jose Railroad
became the rst commuter railroad in
the West. Purchased by Southern
Pacic in 1890, and Caltrain in 1980,
the line continues to transport com-
muters to and from work.
You can learn more about trains on
the Peninsula at 1 p.m. Saturday, July
21 in the History Museums Courtroom
A, when local author Janet McGovern
discusses her new book, Caltrain and
the Peninsula Commute Service. The
rail line now called Caltrain was started
in the 1860s to create a faster alternative
to stagecoaches and ships between the
key cities of San Francisco and San
Jose. Operated by the Southern Pacic
for many years, the Peninsula Commute
Service is the oldest continuously oper-
ating passenger railroad in the West. $5
for adults, $3 for seniors & students.
The San Mateo County History
Museum is located at 2200 Broadway
in Redwood City. The Museum Store
offers books on local history, distinctive
note cards and an assortment of books,
toys and historic artifacts for children.
Admission is free the rst Friday of
every month in 2012. For more infor-
mation contact 299-0104 or www.histo-

SAN MATEO HISTORY FIELD
TRIPS. Easy day trips take you to
where history happened.
DOLLARADIO STATION. Built
about 1926, the station is now a private
residence at 100 N. Palmetto Ave. in
Pacica. Commonly called MR, or
Mussel Rock Station, the one-story
red hollow tile structure was one of
the earliest west coast ship-to-shore
communication centers. Captain Robert
Dollar of the American Merchant
Marine had it built in order to commu-
nicate with his steamship line. In 1927
the station received the rst word from
Admiral Byrds historic establishment
of a camp on the Bay of Whales,
Antarctica. The exterior is unaltered,
though the interior was renovated from
warehouse to living quarters around
1950. For information contact Joan
Levin, 359-4893, or visit www.dollara-
diostationpacica.org.
SANCHEZ ADOBE. The Sanchez
Adobe was constructed between 1842
and 1846 by Francisco Sanchez, owner
of Rancho San Pedro and the one-time
alcade of San Francisco. Sanchez, a
leader of Mexican California who led
volunteers against United States forces
at the Battle of Santa Clara, raised cat-
tle for the hide-and-tallow trade. When
ships came to California, Sanchez could
trade his hides for manufactured items.
Known as the California Dollar, hides
could be made into clothes, shoes and
saddles. Tallow or cow fat was made
into soap and candles. The site shows
the different periods of local history,
beginning when the Ohlone village of
Pruristac was located on the site. The
San Mateo County History Museum
operates Sanchez Adobe as an historic
house museum where visitors can
explore the home, look at artifacts from
archaeological digs and view the loca-
tion of the original farm buildings.
Admission is free. The museum offers
school programs designed to teach stu-
dents about life on a California rancho.
The City of Pacica celebrates early
California history annually in mid-
September with Rancho Days, includ-
ing music, historical reenactments and
food. 1000 Linda Mar Blvd., Pacica.

WOODSIDE STORE. Dr. R.O.
Tripp and Mathias Parkhurst built the

Tripp sold them everything from work
boots and ax handles to our and ham.
When farmers settled in the area, the
Woodside Store served as their county
store, post ofce and community center
until 1909. Tripp made frequent trips to
San Francisco to get supplies. Anything
you wanted, he could get. Browse the
shelves of the Woodside Store, restored
to its 1880s appearance, and see the

Savages boss Oliver
Stone knows his weed
By David Germain
LOS ANGELES Oliver Stone has smoked great mari-
juana all over the world, from Vietnam and Thailand to
Jamaica and South Sudan. But the film-
maker says the best weed is made in the
USA and that pot could be a huge growth
industry for taxpayers if it were legalized.
Stone, whose drug-war thriller
Savages opens Friday, has been a regu-
lar toker since his days as an infantryman
in Vietnam in the late 1960s and knows a
good herb when he inhales one. He insist-
ed in a recent interview that no one is
producing better stuff now than U.S.
growers.
Theres good weed everywhere in the world, but my God,
these Americans are brilliant, said Stone, 65, who sees only
benefits from legalizing marijuana. It can be done. It can be
done legally, safely, healthy, and it can be taxed and the gov-
ernment can pay for education and stuff like that. Also, you
can save a fortune by not putting kids in jail.
Stone is known for mixing polemics and drama in films
such as JFK, Born on the Fourth of July, Wall Street
and Nixon, his saga of the president who declared the war
on drugs 40 years ago. Yet Savages may be closer to a pure
thrill ride than anything hes done, the action coming with-
out much in the way of preaching for legalization.
Still, the film offers a fictional portrait of violence among
a Mexican drug cartel and California pot growers that makes
legalizing marijuana seem like a sane option.
That would be my personal solution, but as a politician, I
would fight for decriminalization first, because that is the
immediate by-product of this mess that we got ourselves
into. Its very hard to pull out of a $40 billion-a-year indus-
try, which is the prison industry. Its probably more than $40
billion. But they will fight you tooth and nail to keep these
prisons as big as they are, Stone said.

which Ganz agreed to pay $2.575 mil-
lion to be divided amongst the entire
group of businesses in the class action
lawsuit, which includes Kevranian.
A lot of companies, big companies,
want to take advantage of the little guys.
I always say, dont mess with the small
businesses, said Kevranian, whose
Burlingame-based store features nostal-
gic candy, toys and gifts.
It took four years to narrow the differ-
ences between the two sides.
Ultimately, it got to a point where a set-
tlement was the best business alterna-
tive, Ganz spokeswoman Susan
OHalloran said.
The suit started with the popularity in
Webkinz, stuffed animals that have an
online counterpart that a person can play
in Webkinz World. Ganz, which man-
ufacturers the toy, changed its policy
requiring businesses to buy a minimum
amount of merchandise from other prod-
uct lines before gaining access to
Webkinz.
Kevranian thought the practice was
wrong and wondered if there was some-
thing that could be done, he said. He
approached the Cotchett, Pitre and
McCarthy law rm in Burlingame that,
after some research, decided to take the
case. The lawsuit argued the policy
forced businesses to purchase unwanted
merchandise which caused monetary
problems since it tied up cash. A number
of other suits followed Kevranians lead.
Those complaints were combined into a
class action lawsuit. Ganz has denied all
claims against it as well as any legal lia-
bility to settling the suit. A hearing was
called for September to determine if the
settlement is fair.
This case arose because Ganz insti-
tuted policies and programs to be fair to
its traditional gift customers who pur-
chased Ganzs core products and to
ensure they were able to receive avail-
able Webkinz products during a time of
extraordinary and unanticipated
demand, said OHalloran. No one
received all the Webkinz they wanted.
The plaintiffs included rst-time buyers
and others who objected to these poli-
cies. ... If confronted with a similar situ-
ation, Ganz would again take the neces-
sary steps to protect our long-term cus-
tomers. Defending the allegations in this
litigation was becoming a signicant
business expense and a distraction, so
from a nancial and business perspec-
tive, settling the litigation made this an
offer we could not turn down.
Kevranian, on the other hand, is
pleased with the outcome. He hopes it
serves as inspiration for other larger
businesses as they consider policy
changes.

felonies and two misdemeanors in the
rst two cases.
This is a fellow who truly seemed to
be out on the Internet looking. He is
truly a predator, said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
Defense attorney Ryan McHugh could
not be reached for comment.
The new case involves a boy who met
Hamm in October 2010 when he was 15
and continued a relationship with him
through his June 22 arrest.
Hamm was a volunteer with the
Peninsula Metropolitan Community
Church in San Mateo but the congrega-
tion suspended him following his initial
arrest by South San Francisco police
who posed as a young boy in response to
his online advertisement seeking horny
skater boys.
Over several weeks, the two
exchanged emails and Hamm reportedly
sent photographs of his genitals and
requested the same. A detective who met
Hamm at a prearranged spot reported
him having a backpack full of sex toys,
lubricant and a cellphone containing
child pornography.
Hamm was prepared to post $200,000
bail when investigators located another
alleged victim who was 14 when he
responded to a 2009 Craigslist ad posted
by Hamm.
In the new case, Wagstaffe said Hamm
responded to the boys advertisement
and investigators have several emails
between them detailing the conduct. The
email also reportedly included refer-
ences to former Penn State assistant
coach Jerry Sandusky who was recently
convicted of child sexual abuse.
Hamm also attended Penn State,
according to his LinkedIn prole.
The boy reportedly tried to stop the
relationship but Hamm persisted and
they stayed in contact up to his arrest.
Wagstaffe said he would not be sur-
prised if publicity of the case continues
to draw out more possible victims.

winemaker dinners. The winemaker
would speak and so would Fisher.
People seemed to like it, so Fisher con-
tinued to seek opportunities. Talk of a
show started two years ago. The nal
product, United States of Food, was
nalized just recently.
In the show, Fisher gets to travel
throughout the country to try amazing
food. Its not the food that actually con-
tinues to pique Fishers interest,
although he has enjoyed that aspect.
Instead, hes enjoyed the chance to meet
amazing people and showcase what the
West Coast has to offer the culinary
world.
The debut one-hour episode, United
States of Bacon, has a couple Bay Area
connections. Fisher will stop at San
Francisco-based Sweet Maple to get a
chance to experience millionaires
bacon. Then, he takes a bite of the Bacon
Bacon food trucks grilled cheese which
includes bacon jam.
Fisher is excited to share the explo-
ration of food with friends and family.
For him, it was a chance to meet won-
derful people, get a look inside their
kitchens, learn some new techniques and
indulge in a burger with equal parts
ground beef and bacon. In case you were
curious, Fisher described the burger as
epic.
United States of Food debuts 10
p.m. Sunday, July 8 on Destination
America.

SATURDAY, JULY 7, 2012
CANCER (June 21-July 22)Stay out of a situation
in which another is trying to work out something for
you. Although you may think youre capable of help-
ing, your input could bring negotiations to a halt.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)There is a strong chance
that you might attempt to change something that is
heading for success, thus turning victory into defeat.
Leave well enough alone.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Someone who pretends
to be an ally might reveal his or her true colors. Go
slow and be watchful to see what happensonly
then do as you see ft.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)You can expect some
hostile reactions from co-workers or associates if
you fail to treat them with consideration. Conversely,
kindness and generosity will produce cooperation.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)Any calculated risks
you take for pragmatic purposes should pan out quite
well. Conversely, gambling for the sake of gambling
is likely to backfre.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)When deal-
ing with outsiders, youll conduct yourself with
generosity and kindnessyet there might be a
lack of goodwill and congeniality in involvements
with the family.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)A poor attitude will
make work that should be easy extremely hard. If
you think of each of your tasks as being labors of
love, the results will astonish you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)Impulse spending
is likely to put some severe dents in your budget. If
youre smart, youll stay away from any stores that
carry items you dearly want but cant afford.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)Involvements that
bring out your selflessness and desire to be
of service to others will work out great for all
concerned. Catering only to your own needsnot
so much.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)Being a loner could
make you despondent, so if you dont have anything
on the social calendar for the evening, get something
going, and enjoy it to the hilt.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)If you need the help of
others in order to be successful, see to it that they
share in the fruits of what is produced. Dont expect
too much from them if the rewards arent there.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)When it comes to a situ-
ation where you expect a little help from Lady Luck,
she isnt apt to show up, yet you could be rather
lucky in something that you dont put much stock in.
