Gov. Jerry Brown was in down-
town San Francisco Wednesday to
sign an $8 billion funding measure
to start construction on what is
expected to be the countrys fastest
rail system.
Brown stood on a platform at the
construction site of the Transbay
Transit Center the future north-
ern terminus of Californias high-
speed train system and called the
passage of SB 1029 bold risk-tak-
ing on the part of those who sup-
ported it. He compared it to the pas-
sage of legislation that led to the
construction of the BART system
more than 50 years ago.
When BART was approved, my
father was governor, Brown said.
It barely passed.

The countys mosquito control
district needs monthly auditing and
a sharp look at its operations but
should not be dissolved and have its
duties transferred to the county, a
special district oversight commis-
sion near-unanimously agreed yes-
terday. The decision was made due
to concern that dissolution would
jeopardize public safety and punish
the agency despite its improvements
after two former nance workers
allegedly stole roughly a half-mil-
lion dollars.
Linda Craig, chair of the Local
Agency Formation Commission,
was the lone voice calling for disso-
lution although other members did
share lingering worry about whether
the San Mateo County Mosquito
and Vector Control District had ade-
quately implemented new proce-
dures and policies. A few even ques-
tioned if the districts 21-member
governing board and general man-
ager shouldnt also be replaced.
Some members, including Sepi
Richardson, suggested putting off a
dissolution decision for four to six
more months as a de facto proba-
tionary period while further review
was conducted. Others, including
Iris Gallagher and Joe Sheridan,
said it is time to let the district move
on.
Sheridan called the idea of proba-
tion unfair.
Since LAFCo Executive Director
Martha Poyatos issued a report ear-
lier this month recommending the
dissolution and transfer to
Environmental Health, the district
fought back by arguing elimination
was a dire and unnecessary step that
would leave public safety at risk in
Mosquito district to remain

Employees at Edelmans ofce in San Mateo service one of the companys biggest clients, Hewlett-Packard.
Edelman has climbed to become the worlds largest public relations rm.
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The way the world communicates
is changing rapidly and Edelman,
the worlds largest public relations
agency, is on a mission to boost
their Fortune 500 and startup
clients ability to navigate the trans-
forming media environment.
Edelman, with more than 60
ofces around the world, has recent-
ly renovated its downtown San
Mateo space to accommodate the
agencys growing presence in
Silicon Valley.
The San Mateo office is the
agencys worldwide technology hub
and serves clients such as Hewlett-
Packard, Adobe, Juniper and Citrix
among many others.
The companys Baldwin Avenue
ofce has at least 130 employees
now and is looking to hire more,
Maria Amundson, general manager
of the San Mateo ofce told the
Daily Journal.
Edelman actually acquired anoth-
er PR rm Amundson worked for
previously, A&R Partners, which
helped the company grow from the
sixth biggest PR rm six years ago
to the largest today. It also has an
ofce in San Francisco.
Since last year, the entire public
relations industry has grown by at
least 10 percent despite the poor
economy in part due to the emer-
gence of social media and compa-
nies desires to build credibility and
trust.
Edelman, with Amundson leading
the charge, even hosted an academ-
ic summit at Stanford University in
June called When all Media is
Social: Navigating the Future of

Utah man uses obituary
to confess indiscretions
SALT LAKE CITY A 59-year-old
Utah man who wrote his own obituary
before he died last week used the oppor-
tunity to come clean.
Friends and family of Val Patterson
learned Sunday that the man they thought
held a doctorate from the University of
Utah received the degree thanks to a
paperwork mistake and that he never even
graduated.
Patterson died from throat cancer on
July 10. KSL-TV reports he wrote his
own death notice in the rst person last
fall.
The light-hearted obituary published in
the Salt Lake Tribune also includes a con-
fession to stealing a business safe. He
wrote: As it turns out, I AM the guy who
stole the safe from the Motor View Drive
Inn back in June, 1971.
His widow, Mary Jane, told KSL-TV
the confessions are true.
Two Seattle men stopped
at border for illegal candy
SEATTLE Two Seattle men say they
spent more than two hours in a detention
center at the Canadian border after U.S.
border agents discovered illegal chocolate
eggs in their car.
Brandon Loo and Christopher Sweeney
told KOMO-TV they decided to bring
home some treats for friends and family
during a recent trip to Vancouver, British
Columbia. They bought Kinder Eggs
chocolate eggs with a toy inside.
The two men say border guards
searched their car and said the eggs are
illegal in the United States because young
children could choke on the small plastic
toys. Importing them can lead to a poten-
tially hefty ne.
Sweeney says the bust was a waste of
his time and the agents time. The men
eventually got off with a warning.
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection
spokesman declined to comment about
the case Tuesday night.
The agency warned on its website
around Easter that the treats cant be
imported legally.
The agency says it seized more than
60,000 Kinder Eggs from travelers bag-
gage and international mail shipments in
scal 2011.
Crows blamed for

Snohomish County Fire District 1
spokeswoman Leslie Hynes tells The

team responded Tuesday to a report about
an unknown white powder in the roadway
in the town of Edmonds.
A witness nally told the crew that a
couple of crows were to blame. Hynes
says a woman was going jogging when
she noticed the birds dragging a bag of
white our.
Hynes says the woman took the bag
away from the birds, put it in a garbage
can and kept running. It took reghters
about an hour to clear the scene.
Says Hynes: Two crows and a two-
alarm hazmat incident.
Cat makes six-mile
trek back to N.H. home
BEDFORD, N.H. Animal rescue
league ofcials say they dont know how
a black cat walked about 6 miles in three
days to nd his way back home in New
Hampshire.
Wollie the cat has been reunited with
Barbara Oliphant.
She began caring for the stray last sum-
mer. But when her husband was hospital-
ized with a stroke, she said she couldnt
give Wollie much attention and turned
him over to the Animal Rescue League of
New Hampshire in Bedford in early June.
Her husband began getting better, and
Oliphant missed Wollie a name that
came from her husbands nickname, Oli
terribly. Her daughter secretly adopted
the 3-year-old cat on June 23 with the

Those who have participated in drama as a
child in Foster City whether recently or in
the last 30 years probably know Virginia
Musante.
Musante, who is old enough to be retired,
taught and directed drama at Bowditch Middle
School in Foster City for more than 30 years.
Now shes easing into retirement by directing
Aida, a Conservatory performance at
Hillbarn Theatre featuring students 13 to 18
years old. Despite being a difcult piece, the
teens are preparing to open the show about an
Ethiopian princess who is captured into slav-
ery and the complicated love story that fol-
lows.
It may seem funny to retire then start work-
ing with children in the same capacity, but it
was actually an ideal situation for Musante,
who lives in Foster City.
I really just loved my job. I still do. I was
really sorry to retire. I wanted to be sure I
could still work with kids in the arts, she said.
Moving from the traditional classroom
schedule at a school to the Hillbarn Theatre
Conservatory program in Foster City means
engaging students and not having to ll out
report cards.
Nancy Fitzgerald-Metzler, director of edu-
cation and outreach at Hillbarn, knows of
Musantes skills rst hand. Fitzgerald-Metzler
had Musante as a teacher growing up.
Musante has a way of making each child
feel special, important and talented,
Fitzgerald-Metzler said. She added Musante
is also very humble. The conversation is never
about her, but the show. And, Fitzgerald-
Metzler added, Musante is always able to con-
nect with the students.
Keeping the work fresh has always been a
goal for Musante. She started performing
occasionally with a San Francisco-based
improv group once she started teaching to
keep the work with her students fresh.
Musante was uniquely at one school for her
whole educational career. She began at
Bowditch as a student teacher then taught art
and drama before focusing on the latter.
Drama, she noted, was something all middle
schoolers could benet from. Also, it was
something at which more students could
excel.
Working with Hillbarn over the summer
actually rst started about ve years ago.
After two performances, Musante took a
break until this year.
The teens have been working for nearly four
weeks to open a somewhat difcult show,
Aida. In the student edition of the perform-
ance, students will sing to pre-recorded music
created by Elton John and Tim Rice. When
done well, most people dont realize the music
is pre-recorded, Musante said. And, having
pre-recorded music allows students to practice
what to expect more often, she said.
Its so challenging, Musante said of the
show. Were really, really proud of how
theyve come together. Its really only been
three and a half weeks and we have a show.
They have done a really good job.
Aida performances will be held at 7:30
p.m. Thursday, July 19 through Saturday, July
21 and 2 p.m. Sunday, July 22. All perform-
ances will be held at the Hillbarn Theatre,
1285 E. Hillsdale Blvd., Foster City. Tickets
are $12. For more information visit www.hill-

Broadway By The Bay, the Peninsulas
musical theater company, is entering a period
of growth by restructuring leadership a rst
step in a multi-month process to evaluate the
company, according to an announcement
made Wednesday.
Through this transitional period, the compa-
ny will determine the best structure moving
forward to present the highest level of art and
serve the needs of the community. The duties
and responsibilities of the executive director
have been appointed to Artistic Director
Amanda Folena and Development Director
Trista Bernstein.
Bernstein explained the idea is to take a step
back and re-examine the company to be sure
scally sound progress is made. A committee
was assembled to take a closer look at
Broadway By The Bay. It starts meeting today
with a hope of having a recommendation this
fall to be implemented in 2013.
Earlier this year, the theater company
launched its SOS Save Our Shows in
February with a year deadline of reaching a
half-million dollars to eliminate an existing
decit and create a cushion for future seasons.
Folena said that by reinforcing the mission,
the group hopes to get a boost in fundraising
efforts.
One thing that will be evaluated is the com-
panys size. The hope is to offer premier pro-
gramming but be more self-sufcient, said
Bernstein.
The theater grew out of a San Mateo
Recreation Department program known as
Music Camp during the 1950s. Over time,
the program grew, eventually renamed
Broadway By the Bay in 1999, and serves
nearly 4,000 season subscribers and more than
5,000 single-show ticket sales for each pro-
duction. Last year, the the-
ater moved to the Fox
Theatre in Redwood City.
In the meantime, the
show must go on. The
company is currently
showcasing The
Marvelous Wonderettes at
the Fox Theatre through
July 29. The 2012 season
next includes A Chorus
Line Sept. 20 to Oct. 7
and Broadway By the
Year Nov. 8 to Nov. 11.
Work on A Chorus
Line really gets started in
a couple weeks. Folena
said casting was tough but
theres a great group in
place for the next show.
Former executive direc-
tor Jim Gardia said of
these changes, I am so excited for Broadway
By the Bay and all of the possibilities for mov-
ing forward. The Board of Directors, along
with Amanda Folena and Trista Bernstein, are
embracing this chance to continue to truly
embed our work within our mission and our
community. I have every confidence that
BBBay will become a stronger and more
vibrant company through this opportunity.
To donate, call 579-5565 or visit

formed at the Fox Theatre, 2215 Broadway,

tion can be reached at 579-5565 or

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

A handful of seats on local school
boards will be decided by the voters this
November.
With the ling period recently open,
there arent many challengers yet. So far,
most incumbents are planning to run for
re-election. Two seats on the South San
Francisco Unied School District Board
of Trustees currently held by Judy
Bush and Maurice Goodman are up
this year. And, four seats held by Rod
Hsiao, Jim Cannon, Ted Lempert and
Memo Morantes on the San Mateo
County Board of Education are up for re-
election. So far, all incumbents except
Morantes have veried another run for
ofce. Morantes is undecided.
Both Bush and Goodman plan to run
for a second term. Each was rst elected
in 2008 when longtime trustees Ray
Latham and Emanuele Damonte opted
not to run for re-election. Both trustees
pointed to Measure J a $162 million
bond measure approved by voters in 2010
as a main reason to stay. Staying
would mean being part of the conversa-
tion to guide how the money will be used.
Goodman added that hes proud of the
accomplishments the district has made in
recent years such as raising test scores,
lowering the dropout rate and revamping
the options for expelled students.
For the County Board of Education, all
the men serving are up for re-election. So
far, the only possible new face is Alvin
Zachariah, who has led but not yet qual-
ied to run for area seven, which includes
Las Lomitas, Menlo Park City, Portola
Valley, Ravenswood City and Woodside
Elementary school districts, as well as
portions of Sequoia Unied. Currently
Morantes, who is nishing his third term,
lls that seat. Its unclear yet if Morantes
will seek a fourth term.
In 2008, it was Morantes and Hsiao

Redwood City police force tests online chat system
In Redwood City, a police ofcer is now just a click of a but-
ton away.
The Redwood City Police Department is trying out a new pro-
gram possibly the rst of its kind in the nation that allows
people to chat online with a police ofcer.
During business hours Monday through Thursday, residents
can hit an online chat button on the police website to launch the
software Live Guide. They can ask questions face-to-face over a
video link with a head-set wearing ofcer, or via voice or text.
The program is not a 911 replacement but instead meant to
provide quick answers or deal with small disputes, removing the
need for ofcers to respond in person, Police Chief JR Gamez
said. It was launched on June 26.
It frees our ofcers up to do more police work in areas that
need it, Gamez said.
For example, ofcers can help residents ll out police reports
online. They can take information about a fence location dispute
rather than going to the house in person.
The program is staffed by ofcers who are not in the eld,
usually because of injuries, Gamez said.
One of the ofcers who takes calls is Steve Barker, a 13-year-
veteran with a background in Internet technology. Barker injured
his hand while making an arrest. He said he answers many of the
same questions as many as 20 in a day that he got on the
street, but in less time and with more privacy for residents.

Drunken man with no pants
tries to enter wrong home
The San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce is
trying to determine whether a 22-year-old
Half Moon Bay man intentionally tried to
break into a neighbors home early Monday
morning or if he was just too drunk to tell
which house was his, a sheriffs spokesman
said.
Deputies responded to a call from a resident
reporting an attempted break-in at a home in
the 100 block of Poplar Street at about 5 a.m.,
sheriffs Lt. Larry Schumaker said.
A man with no pants wearing a red baseball
cap and white underwear had reportedly tried
to enter at least one home, possibly two,
Schumaker said.
Deputies searched the neighborhood and
failed to nd an intruder, but did locate a pair
of pants, and in the pocket they found a wallet
containing the mans identication.
The man was located in bed at his parents
home nearby, passed out from alcohol, sher-
iffs ofcials said.
Schumaker said it appears that he might
have been too intoxicated to determine which
home was his parents on the rst try, though
the case remains under investigation as a pos-
sible attempted break-in.
Residential burglar
captured on video
Belmont Police are seeking the publics help
in identifying a suspect in a residential burgla-
ry that was captured on video last Tuesday.
The suspect and his car were captured on a
neighbors security camera on July 10
between 12:55 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. on the 1500
block of Sixth Avenue carrying a stolen suit-
case to his waiting car, according to police.
The suspect was seen pulling up in front of
a neighboring residence and then walking to
the victims residence, which was out of view
of the camera.
The video then shows the suspect returning
a few minutes later with a suitcase, which he
loaded into his vehicle. Numerous items
were taken, including jewelry and electron-
ics, according to police. The suitcase used by
the suspect to carry the items from the house
was among the items taken, according to
police.
The suspect is described as an unknown
race male, wearing a plain white T-shirt, blue
jeans and a black baseball cap. The suspects
vehicle is a blue or green two-door Mercedes
with large chrome rims, according to police.
We are hoping that by putting the video out
to the public, we will get the tip that will lead
us to this suspect said Belmont Police Chief
Daniel DeSmidt.

SAN FRANCISCO The University of
California board voted Wednesday to freeze
undergraduate tuition this fall and endorse
Gov. Jerry Browns tax initiative, calling it
the best option for preventing damaging cuts
at the 10-campus system.
However, UC officials warned that if vot-
ers reject the November ballot measure, the
university will need to consider cutting aca-
demic programs, increasing class sizes, lay-
ing off staff and raising tuition by as much as
20 percent, or roughly $2,400, in January.
Its going to be a financial calamity if this
measure doesnt pass, UC President Mark
Yudof said at the meeting at the UC San
Francisco-Mission Bay campus. Were all
very, very worried.
The resolution to hold undergraduate
tuition at 2011-2012 levels and support
Browns tax measure was approved by the
full Board of Regents after its finance com-
mittee voted for it earlier in the day.
Wednesdays action means that for the first
time in years, UC will not be raising under-
graduate tuition. California residents will
pay $12,191, which doesnt include room,
board, books or campus fees.
The board did vote to raise fees for gradu-
ate students in 50 professional degree pro-
grams such as law, business and nursing
across the UC system. Professional degree
fees will increase as much as 35 percent for
some students.
Many of those students cant afford to
repay the huge debt those tuition increases
will give them, said Charlie Eaton, a UC
Berkeley graduate student and union organ-
izer.
Under the recently adopted state budget,
funding for the 10-campus system increases
$89 million this fiscal year and another $125
million next year if UC doesnt raise
tuition and voters approve the tax initiative,
known as Proposition 30.
If it passes, the ballot measure is expected
to raise about $8.5 billion in state revenue by
temporarily increasing the state sales tax by
a quarter cent and raising the personal
income tax on people earning $250,000 or
more.
If the initiative fails, the university would
face a midyear trigger cut of $250 million
and wouldnt get the additional $125 million
next year, leaving a $375 million budget
shortfall. That would lower state funding of
UC to $2.1 billion, compared with $3.3 bil-
lion in 2007-2008.
After the resolution passed, the governor
stopped by the meeting and thanked the
regents for supporting his initiative, saying it
would restore financial stability to the state
and UC system.

SAN DIEGO California home
prices rose sharply last month to the
highest levels in more than two years, a
research rm said Wednesday.
The statewide median price for new
and existing houses and condominiums
was $274,000 in June, up more than 8
percent from the same period last year,
and the highest since May 2010, San
Diego-based DataQuick said.
More than 41,000 homes were sold in
the state last month, up more than 5 per-
cent from last year. Foreclosed proper-
ties, which tend to sell at steep dis-
counts, were a much smaller part of the
sales mix, DataQuick said.
Of the existing homes that sold in
June, 25 percent were properties that had
been foreclosed during the past year,
down from 35 percent a year ago.
San Francisco Bay Area home prices
hit a four-year high in June, due in part
to a shift in the market that saw foreclo-
sures wane and buyers snap up costlier
residences, the rm said.
The median price for new and existing
homes and condominiums in the nine-
county region reached $417,000 in June,
up more than 10 percent from the same
period last year, DataQuick said.
Last months median was the highest
since it was $447,000 in August 2008.
However, the median price is still well
off its peak of $665,000 in mid-2007.
Home sales last month jumped to
nearly 8,600, up 7 percent from the same
period last year.
Some of todays stats are similar to
what we saw in the thick of the housing
downturn back in 2009, only in reverse:
Instead of foreclosure re-sales soaring,
theyre waning, and instead of high-end
sales slumping, theyre posting some of
the larger sales gains, DataQuick presi-
dent John Walsh said.
He added that last months jump in the
median sale price might, to some extent,
reect prices edging a bit higher in cer-
tain markets, but its mostly a reection
of the change in market mix.
The market is also being helped by
slightly improved mortgage availability
and ultra-low interest rates, the rm said.
Home sales in the region increased on
a year-over-year basis for the 12th
month in a row.
Southern Californias housing market
saw similar gains. The median price of
new and existing houses and condomini-
ums in the six-county region reached
$300,000 in June, up 5.3 percent from
$285,000 during the same period last
year, research rm DataQuick said.
Distressed sales, which include fore-
closures, accounted for 42.2 percent of
existing home sales last month, the low-
est since February 2008.
The number of homes sold in
Southern California reached 22,075 in
June, up 7.5 percent from 20,532 a year
earlier, DataQuick said.
Home prices climb 8 percent in state

BOSTON Taking aim at what they
call an abuse of the taxpayers money, a
growing number of states are blocking
welfare recipients from spending their
benets on booze, cigarettes, lottery tick-
ets, casino gambling, tattoos and strippers.
If youre not abusing the program,
then you should really have no problem
with these reforms, said state Rep.
Shaunna OConnell, a Republican push-
ing for restrictions in Massachusetts.
While the crackdown has strong pop-
ulist appeal in Democratic and GOP
states alike in this era of tight budgets
and tea party demands for scal disci-
pline, advocates for the poor argue that
the restrictions are based on stereotypes
about people on welfare, and they say
the notion of any widespread abuse is a
myth. Most people on public assistance,
they contend, are single mothers strug-
gling just to get by.
The movement has been spurred in
part by Congress. Under legislation
signed by President Barack Obama in
February to extend a payroll tax cut and
unemployment benets, welfare recipi-
ents are barred from using their cash
assistance in strip clubs, casinos and
liquor stores. States must change their
own laws to conform by 2014.
From Arizona to Maine, states have
been going even further on their own,
adopting or considering legislation to
block the use of benets for other items
deemed frivolous. Among them: porn,
cruises and psychic readings.
In the past 12 years, at least 10 states
passed laws restricting welfare purchas-
es, three of them this year, while at least
14 others are proposing similar legisla-
tion, according to the National
Conference of State Legislatures.
Around 4.4 million people received
about $30 billion in cash assistance in
scal year 2011 through the federal-state
welfare program known as Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families. States
set their own eligibility requirements.
(An estimated 44.7 million people
received food stamps, and that program
has long barred people from using their
benets to buy anything other than cer-
tain foods.)
New welfare restrictions target booze, tattoos

WASHINGTON Barack Obama
surprised the nation when he became the
first presidential
hopeful to raise more
than $100 million in
one month and later
broke with tradition
to bypass public
money for his 2008
campaign. Now, he
could raise eyebrows
again: He could be
outspent by his chal-
lenger.
Obama, who four years ago broke just
about every fundraising record for a
presidential hopeful, has now been
forced to look his supporters in the eye
and confess he might not keep pace with
Republican Mitt Romney. Its a sobering
realization for his campaign, which had
imagined an unlimited budget for ads,
ofces and mail.
I will be the rst president in modern
history to be outspent in his re-election
campaign, Obama wrote to supporters
recently.
It wasnt supposed to be this way.
Conservatives just two years ago feared
Obama would raise and spend a billion
dollars in the 2012 campaign. Now,
there is a real possibility that Romney
and his official partners at the
Republican National Committee could
overtake Obama in total spending.
Obama would not be the rst incum-
bent to come up short of a challenger.
Sen. Bob Dole outraised President Bill
Clinton, according to the Center for
Responsive Politics, a campaign nance
watchdog. Ronald Reagan outraised
President Jimmy Carter. Dole lost in
1996 and Reagan won in 1980.
How did Obama go from fundraising
juggernaut to money chaser in just four
years?
In the early days of the 2007 primar-
ies, he used fundraising success to punc-
ture Hillary Rodham Clintons aura of
inevitability. Obama surpassed Clintons
primary fundraising in the rst two quar-
ters of that year - $25 million to
Clintons $20 million from January to
April, and $31 million to Clintons $21
million in the three months that fol-
lowed.
The numbers shocked observers and
inspired supporters to give even more to
the fresh-faced, rst-term senator from
Illinois. But now that magic seems elu-
sive.
They bought into hope and change
and theyre not getting it. Theres some
buyers remorse, said Greg Mueller, a
Republican strategist who is a veteran
of Pat Buchanans presidential cam-
paigns.

Mitt Romney speaks at a Victory town hall in Bowling Green, Ohio.
By Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio A deant Mitt Romney
brushed aside more calls for the release of his tax returns on
Wednesday and instead accused President Barack Obama of
protecting his job at the expense of millions of unemployed
Americans.
Intensifying his attacks as Obama focused on ofcial
meetings in Washington, the Republican presidential candi-
date told an overowing Ohio crowd that the Democrat has-
nt met with his jobs council in more than six months. In that
time, however, Romney says Obama held 100 fundraisers.
His priority is not creating jobs for you, Romney
declared in Bowling Green. His priority is trying to keep
his own job. And thats why hes going to lose it.
For the often-reserved Romney, the ery rhetoric marks an
aggressive shift as he struggles to answer questions about his
business career and personal tax returns. The former busi-
nessman, who would be among the nations wealthiest pres-
idents if elected, has broken from tradition so far, having
released just one year of personal income tax returns and
promised to release a second.
But in speeches across four states this week, Romney has
thrilled supporters with aggressive attacks on Obama and
charges of crony capitalism. At the same time, the
Republicans campaign has teased reporters with news that
Romneys selection of a running mate could come any day,
forcing new attention on what may be the most important
decision of the campaign so far.
National polls suggest that the candidates are locked in a
tight race less than four months before voters weigh in.
Obama was expected to return to campaigning Thursday for
a two-day swing though Florida.
Romney: Obama focuses on
his job, not unemployment
Barack Obama
By Hope Yen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON In a recent
speech, President Barack Obama
referred to the middle class 14 times,
dening it as a family that makes up to
$250,000 a year. Republican challenger
Mitt Romney has looked at it from the
other direction, saying that someone
who falls into poverty is still middle
class.
In the fuzzy labels and loose speech of
this political season, middle class has
ballooned to cover just about everyone.
So what does the term really mean?
Theres no ofcial denition.
If anything, a slew of economic data
suggests a middle class thats actually
shrinking. Mid-wage manufacturing and
other jobs are disappearing due to
automation and outsourcing, while
lower-income positions and poverty
spike higher. The White Houses chief
economist, Alan Krueger, said in January
that the middle class fell from 50 percent
of U.S. households in 1970 to 42 percent
in 2010, as more families moved to the
extreme ends of income distribution.
But its not just about economic
ranges. And politicians are not bound by
such gauges anyway.
Politicians love to use the term,
because its vague and connotes an image
of regular American people. said Dennis
Gilbert, a sociology professor at
Hamilton College and author of The
American Class Structure in an Age of
Growing Inequality. He said, the vary-
ing uses of middle class on the cam-
paign trail are dishonest, and its
absurd.
In recent months, the phrase has been
popping up with increased frequency.
Referring to the election as a make-or-
break moment for the middle class,
Obama used the term repeatedly in his
July 9 speech calling for an extension of
middle-class tax breaks for families
making less than $250,000, or $200,000
for individuals basically everyone but
the top 2 percent. He mentioned the
phrase seven times at a fundraiser
Tuesday in San Antonio.

Reporters notebook
Internal affairs investigates
deputys alleged naked romp
The Sheriffs Ofce the week of
July 16, 2007 was
investigating a
deputy reportedly
caught in
a state of
undress
after
hours near a
Redwood City court-
room and widely assumed to have
engaged in an intimate encounter
with a woman just prior.
Approximately two to three
weeks previous, courthouse
employees said a court reporter
returned to work and reported see-
ing a mans bare backside ee
through the hallway that runs
behind the courtrooms. Further
investigation reportedly unveiled
the mans identity and indicated he
was having sex with a woman.
Court watchers maintain the inci-
dent happened near a corner court-
room on the eighth oor. An
employee of Judge Barbara
Mallach, who presides in court-
room 8A, said the alleged
encounter was unequivocally not in
that space but did not specically
discount the hallway.
County accused of mixed
messages on health care
San Mateo County sends mixed
messages about indigent health
care by a county manager who
argues escalating budget decits
must be reined in and a supervisor-
ial task force investigating ways to
expand coverage to four times the
federal poverty level, the civil
grand jury said in a report released
the week of July 16, 2007.
General
fund con-
tributions
for indigent and charity care grew
from $42 million in scal year
2001-2002 to a budgeted $70 mil-
lion in scal year 2006-2007, the
grand jury found. At this rate, the
jury concluded, county services
would be affected if growth didnt
keep pace with the increased cost
of health care.
A 60-member Blue Ribbon Task
Force on Adult Health Caremet
over that past year to brainstorm
universal coverage and compile
recommendations include phasing
enrollment to coincide with avail-
able resources, leveraging local
nancing with state and federal
funding, administering services
through a single third party, coor-
dinating management within a sys-
tem that emphasizes prevention,
exploring nancing by employers
and completing a capacity analysis
to pencil out what is available.

SOFIA, Bulgaria Israel vowed
to strike back at Iran for a brazen
daylight bombing Wednesday that
killed at least seven people on a bus
full of Israeli tourists in Bulgaria.
The bombing was the latest in a
series of attacks attributed to Iran that
have targeted Israelis and Jews over-
seas and threatened to escalate a
shadow war between the two arch-
enemies. Iran has denied involve-
ment in the past but did not comment
on Wednesdays attack.
President Barack Obama termed it
a barbaric terrorist attack and
called Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu to pledge U.S.
help in nding the perpetrators.
The blast gutted the bus at the air-
port in the quiet Black Sea resort city
of Burgas, some 400 kilometers (250
miles) east of the capital, Soa,
where the Israelis had just arrived on
a charter ight from Tel Aviv carry-
ing 154 people, including eight chil-
dren.
Black smoke billowed into the sky
from the stricken bus after the bomb
exploded. Young Israelis said they
were just boarding when the blast
ripped through the white vehicle in
the airport parking lot. Israeli
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman
said at least seven people were killed.
We were at the entrance of the bus
and in a few seconds we heard a huge
boom, said Gal Malka, an Israeli
teenager who was slightly wounded.
The resort town has become a pop-
ular travel destination in recent years
for Israelis, particularly for recent
high school graduates before they are
drafted for mandatory military serv-
ice.
No group immediately claimed
responsibility for the attack, which
wounded 30 others. But suspicion
immediately fell upon Iran and its
Lebanese proxy, the Hezbollah guer-
rilla group.
All signs point to Iran,
Netanyahu said. Just in the past few
months, we have seen attempts by
Iran to harm Israelis in Thailand,
India, Georgia, Kenya, Cyprus and
more. This is an Iranian terror attack
that is spreading across the world.
Israel will react forcefully to Irans
terror.

UNITED NATIONS The
U.N. Security Council scheduled a
vote Thursday on a new Syria res-
olution after a last-minute delay
failed to get key Western nations
and Russia to agree on measures to
end the dramatically escalating
violence but both sides
remained deeply divided.
Britains U.N. Ambassador Mark
Lyall Grant said his countrys
Western-backed text would be put
to a vote at 10 a.m. EDT (1400
GMT) on Thursday. It threatens
non-military sanctions against
President Bashar Assads govern-
ment if he doesnt withdraw troops
and heavy weapons from populat-
ed areas within 10 days and is tied
to Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter,
which could eventually allow the
use of force to end the conflict.
Russia, which is a close Syrian
ally, has said it will veto any
Chapter 7 resolution.
In Moscow on Wednesday,
Russias Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrov pointed to Wednesdays
deadly bombing in the heart of
Damascus that killed the defense
minister and his deputy, Assads
powerful brother-in-law, and
accused the West of inciting the
Syrian opposition.

A
s we watch the health care debate
unfold, I think we have lost sight of
how and why we got here and the
missed opportunities along the way. The fun-
damental question of whether health care is a
right or a commodity has never been
answered on a governmental level, so every
governmental attempt to address health care
is a muddled mess of trying to blend the two
concepts.
There are three major payers of health
care: businesses, the government and the
public. All want great medical care, but any
two would want the third to pay for the costs
of health care. Therefore, the question of
how health care should be paid continues to
be a sea of confusion with plenty of nger
pointing going on. Everybody points at the
insurance companies, including us physi-
cians, but the problem is not the individual
companies. The problem is how we have
allowed the concept of insurance to evolve.
The purpose of medical insurance is to
spread the risk so one individual is not eco-
nomically devastated by a severe medical
problem. The medical insurance industry
should never have been allowed to become a
for-prot industry. Insurance companies are
only doing what every other business is try-
ing to do maximize prots. Unfortunately,
the prots of a health care insurance compa-
ny come out of health care premiums that
were meant to provide for health care, not
CEO bonuses. The more care health care
insurance companies deny, and the more they
reduce payment to providers, the better these
companies do. As long as the insurance com-
panies continue to persuade U.S. representa-
tives not to fundamentally change how they
do business, it wont matter how many pages
constitute the new health care bill.
This debate over whether the new bill rep-
resents a tax is a foolish one. The bottom line
is that if you have health insurance you are
going to be paying more. It is hard to imag-
ine that anyone would believe that we are
going to provide insurance for an additional
50 million people most of whom will
have to be subsidized. This means that the
overall costs of health care insurance for
those who are already paying for it will go
up.
If you believe that medical care is a right,
then this shouldnt bother you. The president
missed his opportunity early on. He could
have gone to the American people and advo-
cated that health care is a fundamental right.
He could have proposed the expansion of
Medicare to include all Americans. He could
have been honest with the people that the
overall costs would rise and therefore taxes
would go up as they are in countries that pro-
vide universal health care. He could have
said he would try to mitigate the increased
costs by eliminating administrative bloat and
limiting insurance company prots. But he
didnt say these things because he didnt
think he could sell it to Congress or the pub-
lic. Instead we get a multi-thousand page
document which is little understood by all
sides.
I have seen projections that, at the current
rate of price ination, within 10 years, the
average family of four will pay one third of
its income for health care a staggering and
unsustainable number. We can only hope our
leaders can right this ship before that occurs.

HSR: solution for what?
Editor,
Owen Smith praises supporters of high-
speed rail (HSR) and condemns opponents
(in his letter to the editor More FUD for
high-speed rail in the July 11 edition of
the Daily Journal). He says civic leaders
should understand the risks involved with a
solution and not be paralyzed and defeat-
ed by them. In general, he is right. But in
particular, HSR is a solution for what? I
used to ride Greyhound buses to Los
Angeles and did not see any problems
there. As for global warming, HSR will
replace just a small part of all airplanes and
automobiles in the country, so it wont save
the world.
Mr. Smith then says if HSR fails, it will
be not because it is too big, but it will
be because we, the citizens and leaders of
California, were too small. What does he
mean? If a business fails (and HSR must be
a business, that means it must make money,
like airlines and Greyhound do?), cus-
tomers probably should not be blamed.
Yevgeniy Lysyy
Palo Alto
High-speed rail loophole
Editor,
Sometimes the devil is in the details. In
the midst of the euphoria of Jerry Hill at
the passage of the high-speed rail bill for
which he voted (in spite of the wishes of
the community he represents), we find that
the bill itself has an important loophole
which should give everyone in the
Peninsula pause for concern. Hill has stated
the bill was a win for us because among
other things, the HSR will no longer be
built along a four-track system which
would seriously have marred the quality of
our cities by splitting them in half and by
taking multiple homes. Well, what does the
bill actually say? It says that any funds
appropriated in this item shall be used for
a blended system and not to expand the
blended system to a dedicated four track
system. Sounds good, right? Not so fast.
What the bill fails to say is that any future
bills granting funds to the rail will not be
used for a four-track system. In other
words, HSR is still giving itself leeway to
build the four-track system if they choose
to in the future. No wonder Sen. Joe
Simitian from Palo Alto and one of the
original proponents of the HSR could not
bring himself to vote for it. He remained
unconvinced by High-Speed Rail
Authoritys oral assurances and concerned
by the huge $60 billion budget hole it will
create, especially in times of huge cuts to
education and other services. His vote of
conscience should be saluted.

$16 billion debt
Editor,
The state is underwater $16 billion dol-
lars. Three cities are bankrupt. The
University of California will raise tuition
fees if new taxes are not passed by voters
in November.
There is no mention of cutting the
salaries of the executives and staff at UC
Berkeley. No mention of cutting the huge
bureaucracy at the university and whole
state. At the same time, we are building a
high-speed train to Coalinga. Is there any-
one in our government that is capable of
simple arithmetic?

Another major
budgeting mess
Lompoc Record
I
t was big news last month when the
California Legislature agreed on a budg-
et. There were the usual handshakes and
backslaps, as another budget battle was
resolved.
Like most state budgets in the past two
decades, however, the one nally approved is
based primarily on wishful thinking. Gov.
Jerry Browns biggest wish is that voters will
approve his multi-billion-dollar tax increase
Nov. 6.
But that tax isnt the only ghost in the
machine. The newly agreed-upon budget also
relies on California receiving billions in
estate-tax revenues, once the Bush-era tax
breaks are allowed to expire at the end of
December.
Thats probably far more unlikely than vot-
ers approving Browns tax package. It seems
fairly evident to us that, with a Democrat-
controlled U.S. Senate, and a GOP-controlled
House of Representatives, the odds of reach-
ing a compromise on the expiration of tax
cuts seems remote, at best.
Polls indicate Browns tax initiative is in
pretty good shape, lining up for passage in
November, in large part because most
Californians are now fully aware of this
states precarious scal situation. In case
youre not aware, here are some cold, hard
facts:
State government spending in California
has increased 42 percent in the decade from
2000 to 2010, and those in most critical need
the poor, sick and public school students
are the ones hardest hit.
That level of government spending has eas-
ily outpaced overall economic growth in the
state. That pattern has been true since 1991,
which is the launch date for Californias con-
tinuing slide into decit budgeting, and the
Great Recession only made the hole deeper.
While state budget decits generally run in
the top ve nationally, the spending per-capita
is lower in California than in 24 other states.
Getting less for more is not our idea of budg-
eting wisdom.
And when it comes to tax burdens,
Californians are as bad off as residents of any
state, and worse than most.
Still, as the polls indicate, Californians
appear poised to increase that burden
because they know if they dont, the afore-
mentioned poor, sick and students will suffer
even more than theyre suffering now.
That is because there is another reality of
California government. It has a fallback posi-
tion. If Congress cant come to an agreement
on extending tax cuts, and if California voters
decide to defeat the governors tax increase
proposal in November, the state will collect
less revenue, which, according to a public-
education funding formula approved by vot-
ers years ago, schools would receive less
money.
Its a classic blackmail situation for voters
agree to pay higher taxes in what is
already one of the highest-taxing states in the
nation, or further degrade public education.
Not much of a choice.
This is where partisan politics has brought
us over the past 20 years damned if we do,
and doubly damned if we dont.
Governors and Legislatures have been mak-
ing policy mistakes and compounding them
for two decades, building budget plans like
houses of cards, basing revenue decisions on
revenues that dont exist and arent likely to
exist. The 2012-13 state budget, for example,
expects more than $2 billion in tax revenues
from instant millionaires after Facebook went
public. Investors didnt agree, leaving a
gigantic hole in that recently approved budg-
et.
This budget and most of the budgets for the
past 20 years have been full of similar holes,
a product of badly awed, politicized think-
ing. In fact, the word thinking seems wildly
inappropriate when used with any statement
about California government policy making.

NEW YORK A new sign of recov-
ery in the housing market and strong
corporate earnings sent stocks higher
for a second day.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 103.16 points, or 0.8 percent, to
12,908.70 on Wednesday, a strong
showing for what has been a mediocre
July so far. The index has risen only four
times in the last 12 trading days.
The market expects bad news, so
when it doesnt get it, it rises, said John
Manley, chief equity strategist at Wells
Fargo Advantage Funds. Earnings
havent been disastrous for the quarter.
A big gain by Intel after it posted a
strong earnings report drove up technol-
ogy stocks, especially other chip mak-
ers. Those companies, plus industrials,
were responsible for much of the mar-
kets gains. The Nasdaq composite
climbed 32.56 points, or 1.1 percent, to
2,942.60.
The government reported that builders
broke ground last month on the most
new homes and apartments in nearly
four years. The 6.9 percent jump
brought the number of housing starts to
the highest since October 2008. The
news came a day after a gauge of con-
dence among U.S. homebuilders
jumped to the highest level in ve years.
The Standard & Poors 500 index rose
9.11 points, or 0.7 percent, to 1,372.78.
Amphenol jumped nearly 15 percent,
the most in the index, after the maker of
electronic cables and connectors report-
ed second-quarter earnings that were
higher than analysts were expecting. Its
stock rose $7.58 to $58.94.
For several weeks, big companies
have talked down prospects for big
jumps in earnings, and Wall Street ana-
lysts have slashed their forecasts in
response. At the start of the earnings
season last week, they said earnings for
companies in the S&P 500 would likely
fall 2 percent, according to S&P Capital
IQ.
Earnings are still expected to fall,
marking the rst quarterly decline in
nearly three years, but several compa-
nies have delivered pleasant surprises
nonetheless. Honeywell International, a
big technology and manufacturing com-
pany, reported an 11 percent increase in
second-quarter income Wednesday,
more than Wall Street was expecting,
thanks to higher demand for its prod-
ucts. Honeywell also raised its forecast
for full-year prots. Its stock jumped
$3.64, or 7 percent, to $58.18.

WASHINGTON Builders are put-
ting up more houses than they have in
nearly four years, a long-awaited recov-
ery that could help energize the U.S.
economy.
From areas like Phoenix that are nal-
ly arising from the housing bust to
Chicago and Minneapolis, where strong
economies have lifted demand, the out-
look for home building looks healthier
than at any time since sales and prices
collapsed in 2007.
Weve been hoping for this for a long
time, said Celia Chen, a housing econo-
mist at Moodys Analytics. It looks like
things are turning.
The improvement has been gradual.
But builders are responding to interest
from buyers drawn by reduced prices,
record-low mortgage rates and rising
rents, which have made home purchases
comparatively appealing. And the sup-
ply of new homes has shrunk to near-
record lows.
The increased construction coincides
with stronger homebuilder condence
and higher stock prices for building
companies. The stocks of the 13 U.S.
builders whose shares are publicly trad-
ed have increased an average 60 percent
this year. By contrast, the Standard &
Poors 500 stock index is up about 9 per-
cent.
Last month, U.S. builders broke
ground on the most homes in nearly four
years. Single-family home building
the bulk of the market rose for a
fourth straight month. Permits to build
single-family homes reached their high-
est point since March 2010.
The news helped boost stock prices
Wednesday. The Dow Jones industrial
average closed up 103 points.
Home construction still has a long
way to go.
Home construction makes slow, steady comeback
American Airlines has
signs of turnaround
By David Koenig
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS Eight months into a bankruptcy that was years
in the making, American Airlines is showing signs of nally
turning itself around and regaining its lost glory.
Americans parent company, AMR Corp., reported on
Wednesday that revenue set a record in the second quarter as
fares rose and more passengers lled its planes. And it turned
an operating prot, minus the millions it spent on bankruptcy
lawyers and severance pay.
The airline is cutting costs and making progress in labor
negotiations. Its even losing fewer bags.
But the nations third-biggest airline still faces huge chal-
lenges to succeed against United and Delta, which are similar
to American in structure but much bigger. Theyre also prof-
itable.
Analysts say American must expand and improve its route
network to attract high-paying business travelers. Its weak on
both the East and West coasts. It ranks below average in gov-
ernment ratings for on-time ights and consumer complaints.
EBay more than doubles 2Q earnings, revenue up
NEW YORK EBay Inc. more than doubled its second-quar-
ter net income thanks to higher revenue from its PayPal online
payments business and its e-commerce websites.
The solid results, which came against the backdrop of the
ongoing European economic turmoil, prompted investors to send
the companys stock up nearly 6 percent in after-hours trading.
We have been able to compensate for the softness in Europe
with strong performance everywhere else, said CEO John
Donahoe. EBays business, he added, is beneting from a pro-
found change in the way people are shopping and paying,
thanks to the popularity of smartphones and tablet computers.

There are some teams you just shouldnt
anger, because you dont want to play them
when theyre angry.
Following a loss to Danville Little League
on Tuesday in Game 1 of the Section 3 cham-
pionship round, the team from Pacifica
American sat around and chatted about their
rst loss of the postseason.
We talked about how they were feeling at
that moment and they werent happy, said
Pacica manager Steve Falk. They werent
happy at all with their rst loss.
So on Wednesday, the 9-10 All-Stars from
Pacica took out their aggresion on the same
Danville team and steamrolled them 10-0 to
capture the Section 3 championship in a four-
inning mercy rule game.
I told them they had to come out and want
it from the very beginning and they did, Falk
said. From the very rst inning, they kept the
pressure on them the whole game. Its unbe-
lievable. These kids worked so hard all week,
over the month. Just the looks on their faces is
priceless.
Pacicas championship performance was
nearly awless. They smacked the ball around
to the tune of nine hits and collected six
walks. And on the mound, Andrew Harkness
and Christian Falk held Danville hitless.
He was a little nervous warming up, you
could tell, Steve Falk said of Harkness his
starter. He had the jitters. But hes been our
big game pitcher for the last year and a half.
Hes the guy that always steps up and pitches
well. I had all the condence in the world in
him and he showed it today.
The jitters were obvious. Harkness walked
the rst two batters of the game to give
Danville an instant rally. But out of nowhere,
the left-hander found control, attributing a lit-
tle dirt on his pitching hand for his newfound
command after the game. Harkness struck out
Danvilles 3-4-5 hitters to end their only real
threat of the game.
Pacica did not squander their early oppor-
tunities. Tyler Shaw doubled to start the game
and would score on a double play ball hit by
Harkness. Elijah Ricks kept the rally going
though with a single to set the table for Chris
Rodriguez who muscled up and got every bit
of a hanging breaking ball, launching it over
the fence for a 3-0 lead.
Chris homerun really helped. It got two
runs on the board really quick, Harkness
said.
Pac Am regroups, clinches section title
T
he Tour de Peninsula day of
cycling originated as a way to pay
tongue-in-cheek homage to the
seriousness of the legendary Tour de
France cycling race.
In the 21 years since the TDP started, it
has morphed into a true homage to cycling
and has taken on more characteristics of
the famed race in France just without
the cut-throat competition.
The idea of TDP is to make as many
riders feel good about their day (riding
their bike), so you come back from it with
this glowing feeling,
said Paul Skilbeck,
the events media lia-
son. Its got a
tremendous amount
of soul. Its just full
of the spirit of
cycling that I really
love, which is going
out on your bike and
having a good time.
The TDP provides
that more than a
majority of cycling
events.
The Aug. 5 ride begins and ends at
Coyote Point Park and offers a myriad of
riding and family-fun events. There are
four different bike routes: the Kids/Family
Route tours the bike trails around the
park. The Short Route is a beginner to
intermediate 20-mile ride, the Long
Route is a 31-mile tour for intermiedate to
advanced rides.
The Metric Century is a 63-mile route
and includes climbs up Kings Mountain
Road and Old La Honda.

NEW YORK The NFLs on-eld of-
cials say the league is paying lip service to
player safety by contacting replacement of-
cials.
They also believe the NFL planned to lock
them out rather than negotiate a new contract.
Members of the NFL Referees Association
were locked out June 3 after talks broke down.
NFLRA President Scott Green and past
president Ed Hochuli, both current referees,
said Wednesday the NFL is jeopardizing the
safety of the players, as well as the integrity of
the game, by considering using ofcials they
feel are unqualied. None of those ofcials
will come from the top college division
because they all are barred from accepting
NFL jobs by the colleges, Green said.
To take seven officials who have not
worked Division I (college) games or not
worked the last several years, he said, and to
put them on the eld has got to be pretty
unsettling not only to the players and coaches,
but to the fans.
The players have plenty of things to worry
about on the eld, they dont need to be wor-
rying about the ofcials.
Green said players know the current of-
cials are consistent in their calls, but won't
have any idea what will be called or seen and
what wont be, and that will be a product of
how the game is being affected.
Added Hochuli: There is no game if the
competitive nature of the game is not being
controlled by ofcials.
The NFL disagreed, saying in a statement:
Our goal is to maintain the highest quality
of ofciating for our teams, players, and fans,

NEWARK Half Moon Bay Junior All-
Stars manager James Salinero said he told his
team before Wednesdays winner-take-all
Section 3 championship against Mission San
Jose-Fremont to enjoy the game and the
atmosphere at Newark Memorial High, to
soak it all in.
Hard to believe the Half Moon Bay All-
Stars or its fans will ever forget this game.
Half Moon Bay used a nine-run fourth to take
control of the game and then hung on for dear
life to beat Mission San Jose 13-12. Half
Moon Bay committed seven errors and start-
ing pitcher Tommy Nuno was cuffed around
to the tune of eight runs and 13 hits, yet it
somehow, some way, did enough to capture
the Section 3 title.
I dont know what to say, Salinero said.
Thats a good team (MSJ).
Half Moon Bay, trailing 3-1 after three
innings, erupted for nine runs in the fourth and
there was a thought the game might end early
because of the mercy rule as it sent 14 batters
to the plate and took a 10-3 lead.
MSJ, however, did not pack it in and go
away quietly. It struck right back with three
runs in the bottom of the inning and was with-
in ve, 10-5.
Half Moon Bay tacked on three more runs
in the top of the sixth to take a 13-5 lead, but
MSJ scored three in the bottom of the sixth
and four more in the bottom of the seventh.
MSJ got the tying run as far as second base,
but reliever Phillip Anderson got a yout to
center to secure the win for Nuno.
While Nuno was knocked around, he hung
tough, as did the Half Moon Bay defense.
Despite the over half-dozen errors, only three

A huge chunk of the buzz sur-
rounding the San Jose Earthquakes
before the kickoff of the 2012 sea-
son revolved around one player. At
the time, it was hard to read up on
anything Quakes without Major
League Soccer writers and analysts
telling you to look out for Steven
Beitashour, the third-year defender.
And 22 games into the MLS
schedule, Beitashour has made each
and every one of those writers and
analysts look like geniuses.
The San Jose right back has fol-
lowed a promising 2011 campaign,
when he led the team in assists, with
a breakout kind of year that has
landed him on the MLS Starting XI
squad. As part of the leagues best,
Beitashour, along with Chris
Wondolowski and Ramiro Corrales,
will take on Chelsea of the English
Premiere League in Philadelphia
during the MLS All-Star game July
25. The selection marks the rst
time the San Jose native represents
the league in an All-Star affair.
I didnt expect it at all,
Beitashour said. Im going to be
honest, you hope for it, you hope for
the best but I didnt expect it before
the season. I started playing well
and a lot of people starting talking
about it but I still didnt think much
of it at the time. But once I actually
was selected to the All-Star team it
was unbelievable. I was so excited.
I went home to my parents house
to watch [the announcement] with
my family and saw my name. It was
quick because they were flying
through the names but it was just
exciting to hear my name. Im just
real proud to be part of this and hon-
ored.
Beitashour has been at the fore-
front of a defense that has only
allowed 24 goals this season while
posting ve clean sheets; so as a
defender, hes more than deserving
of the All-Star nod. But perhaps
more importantly for his team,
Beitashour has provided offense
from this right back position. His
contributions as an offensive-mind-
ed defender have made San Jose
deadly at all times and hes one of
the main reasons why the Quakes
lead MLS with 41 goals scored.
Offense had been San Joses
Achilles heel since their return to
MLS. But not this year. Not with
players like Beitashour.
Ive always been this offensive-
minded, Beitashour said. When I
was in San Jose playing in high
school and club soccer, I never
played defense. Going into college
is when my coach said, we need to
teach you defense because I think
you can be a pro at outside back. So
theres where I really learned how to
defend. But Ive always enjoyed
attacking. I think Frank (Yallop)
really found my best position out
there and sees my potential as a
defender and my willingness to get
forward. I think thats what sets me
apart from a lot of people I work
extremely hard but I just love
attacking.
We got a lot of offense going on
now. I think the general manager did
a great job of bringing in some good
additions like Shea Salinas and
Marvin Chavez. It really helped us
out theyre two key players for
us. And it helps every guy as a
whole. I know Ive improved from
them coming onto the team as well.
I know weve been winning from
that, so I cant complain.
Beitashour is tied for fourth in the
league with six assists the most
by an MLS defender. San Joses
success can be attributed to
Beitashours emergence and as the
Quakes keep winning, the focus of
the league has turned to one its bud-
ding young stars.
I think were past catching peo-
ple by surprise, Beitashour said of
his team. We work hard every day.
Were pushing each other to get bet-
ter and thats they key. Were not
settling on what weve done, were
trying to get better, trying to win
every single game. If youre going
in there thinking we have to get
three points, then it sets up apart
from the other teams.
The MLS All-Star game is July 25
in Philadelphia.
I havent thought about it too
much, Beitashour said of playing
against Chelsea, the reigning UEFA
Champions League title holders.
Im going to take it one game at a
time. Once I head over to
Philadelphia, itll really hit me and
Ill think about that stuff.

OAKLAND Brandon Hicks led off the
bottom of the ninth with a towering home run
to center for his rst major league clout, lift-
ing the Oakland Athletics to a 4-3 victory over
the Texas Rangers on Wednesday.
Hicks connected off Michael Kirkman (0-1)
for Oaklands majors-leading ninth walkoff
win. He became the fourth player in franchise
history to hit a game-ending homer for his
rst career longball and the second this year -
joining Derek Norris, who did it June 25
against San Francisco.
Josh Reddick hit a tying two-run double
with two outs in the seventh to help the As
salvage a two-game split with the AL West-
leading Rangers.
Evan Scribner and Sean Doolittle each
pitched a perfect inning, and All-Star Ryan
Cook (3-2) worked the ninth for the win.
Cook hasnt allowed a run in his last nine out-
ings.
Michael Young hit a go-
ahead RBI single in the
sixth but the Rangers
couldnt hold it.
Craig Gentry hit an RBI
double and Nelson Cruz
added a run-scoring single
for Texas, which now
heads into a key weekend
road series against the sec-
ond-place Angels.
Josh Hamilton went 1 for 4 and kept his
average right at .300 for the second straight
day. He hasnt fallen below that mark this
year.
Starter Colby Lewis lasted ve innings in
his comeback from the disabled list, allowing
three hits and one run on 75 pitches. He struck
out three and walked two.
After Gentrys double put Texas ahead in
the top of the fth, Brandon Inge homered
leading off the bottom half to tie it.
In the sixth, Inge stumbled after elding
Adrian Beltres grounder and missed a chance
for an out. Young singled moments later as
Texas took the lead.
Texas is headed into a stretch with seven of
its next 13 games with the Angels. The
Rangers open a three-game series at Anaheim
on Friday following an off day Thursday.
Yes, its a signicant series, signicant in
that they can either catch up or we can move
ahead, manager Ron Washington said.
Lewis came off the DL to pitch for the rst
time since allowing season highs of 12 hits
and eight runs June 23 against Colorado. It
marked his rst DL stint since rejoining the
Rangers in 2010, and the right-hander had
been out since June 24 with tendinitis in his
right forearm.
The As loaded the bases against Lewis in
the fourth and pitching coach Mike Maddux
made a mound visit following a two-out walk
to Brandon Moss. Then Lewis escaped the
jam when he got Derek Norris on an ineld
popup.
Yoenis Cespedes, back in left eld after
nursing a sprained left thumb, singled but
missed a shot at a fth straight multihit game.
Coco Crisp returned to Oaklands lineup,
playing center eld after missing three games
with a sore left shoulder he aggravated on
Friday night at Minnesota. He beat out an
ineld single to start the bottom of the rst,
then drew a walk and stole second and third in
the fth for his 17th and 18th steals.
As starter Travis Blackley gave up three
runs on six hits in 5 1-3 innings and pitched
well considering his long layoff. He worked
out of the bullpen July 7 against Seattle before
the All-Star break, but this was his rst start
since beating the Rangers on July 1 at Texas
with seven strong innings.
Inge was 0 for his last 11 and mired in an 8-
for-63 funk spanning 17 games before con-
necting for his eighth home run.

ATLANTA Brandon Crawford and
Gregor Blanco hit three-run homers in the
11th inning and the San Francisco Giants
recovered after blowing a
two-run lead in the 10th to
beat the Atlanta Braves 9-
4 on Wednesday night.
Anthony Varvaro (1-1)
hit Eli Whiteside with a
pitch to open the 11th
before walking Brandon
Belt. Chad Durbin
replaced Varvaro and
struck out Joaquin Arias.
Crawfords homer off Durbin came one
pitch after he fouled a ball off his right knee
and collapsed to the ground in pain. The left-
handed hitting Crawford then pulled the next
pitch from Durbin into the right-eld seats.
Chipper Jones second throwing error of the
game allowed Justin Christian to reach base.
With two outs, Durbin issued an intentional
walk to Melky Cabrera before giving up
Blancos homer, also to right eld, pushing
the Giants lead to 9-3.
Jones homered off Brad Penny in the 11th.
The homer, Jones eighth, gave him 1,596
career RBIs, matching George Bretts record
for third basemen.
Cabrera homered in the sixth and had a run-
scoring single in the Giants two-run 10th
inning to give San Francisco a 3-1 lead.
The Giants were one out away from the win
when Brian McCann hit a tying two-run
homer off Santiago Casilla (3-4) in the bottom
of the 10th. It was Casillas sixth blown save
in 29 opportunities.
Jones rst error helped the Giants in the
10th.
Arias hit a one-out triple off Varvaro, who
then issued an intentional walk to Crawford.
Christian then hit a soft grounder to third base
which Jones elded while running toward the
plate. Jones tried to make an underhand toss to
McCann at the plate but threw the ball high,
allowing Arias to score. Crawford raced to
third on the error.
Varvaro walked Ryan Theriot, loading the
bases, before Cabreras bloop single drove in
Crawford.
Buster Posey, who had three hits for the sec-
ond straight night, led off the ninth with a sin-
gle to right off Braves closer Craig Kimbrel
before Pablo Sandoval hit into a double play.
Juan Franciscos homer in the third gave
Atlanta a 1-0 lead. Cabrera tied the game with
his ninth homer in the sixth.
San Franciscos Ryan Vogelsong and
Atlantas Mike Minor each lasted six innings
and posted almost identical pitching lines.

LONDON Sex And The City move
over. Here comes Sex In The Village. Make
that athletes village. As in Olympics.
Tales of shenanigans at the living quarters
for 10,000 super-t young men and women
have always abounded, and London doesnt
look as if it will be any different.
U.S. womens soccer star Hope Solo
recently dished about serious partying at the
Beijing Games, and some newly arrived ath-
letes say they can hardly wait for the fun to
begin.
The Olympics is the height of your career,
so you might do some things you dont usual-
ly do, British beach volleyball player Shauna
Mullin said with a giggle Wednesday.
Most, like Mullin, will restrain from going
too far, aware theyre in the international
spotlight.
Still, theres no need to be prudish, accord-
ing to the man overseeing the health of the
Brazilian team.
(Sex) is common at the Olympics. Its nec-
essary. Its natural, Dr. Joao Olyntho
Machado Neto said. If you are going to be
healthy people, why not make sex? ... Brazil
is very tolerant with sex as a country. We
dont have Victorian minds and were not reli-
gious.
Ivory Coast swimmer Kouassi Brou was
one of the youngest competitors in Beijing at
16, but hes grown up now.
And ready for some Olympic love.
In 2008 I was so young and so shy, so I
didnt interact with the women, the 20-year-
old Brou said. But now Im a big man. So I
can try. I will try.
And hes clear about his ambitions.
If they are beautiful, its OK, he said.
Thousands of free condoms will be avail-
able. Organizers have heard enough about vil-
lage antics from previous games to know
there will be heavy demand by athletes for
contraception.
Solo recalled seeing competitors having
sex out in the open in Beijing.
On the grass, between buildings, people
are getting down and dirty, the 2008 gold
medalist told ESPN The Magazine recently.
Still, her revelations startled some athletes
interviewed in the athletes village on
Wednesday.
Its not something Ive seen at all. ...
Maybe I wasnt up on the right nights,
Australian canoeist Warwick Draper said.
Its not something I think youd expect to see
in the village.
Mullin knows how she would react to any-
thing racy: Im pretty sure if I see it Ill end
up laughing.
Wild parties in athletes villages are not
new. Many of them live in a world where
every move is followed by the media and
theyre delighted to unwind in the privacy of
the village, where the outside world is
excluded.
Ask fencer Kanae Ikehata about bed hop-
ping between the apartment buildings, and
her blushing cheeks turn even more red.
I am Japanese, she said, suggesting her
compatriots behavior is more elegant than
others.
Ill only look, she added while shopping
for Olympic merchandise.
But maybe the amorous couples Solo spot-
ted outdoors in Beijing had the right idea.
Fitting just one person into the beds pro-
vided for Olympians in London is proving to
be a problem in itself.
As an athlete you have to relax, get a little
bit of space ... but here it is tight and the beds
are too small, said Sierra Leone sprinter
Ibrahim Turay. It is a bit difcult for me to
lie down.
Theres also not much privacy.
Its pretty tight for us. Im sharing one
room with my coach and there are four rooms
in one apartment, with one toilet, so we have
to gure out how to use the toilet, Turay
said.
Its party time for Olympians
Weve put together a couple of games like
this and its literally a ght at the bat rack
sometimes, these kids want to get in there and
pound the ball, Steve Falk said. Its how
weve been playing during the District 52
tournament and these games in Sectionals.
Thats how weve been doing it and Im glad
to see it continued today and didnt let down.
Pacica mounted another rally in the second
but failed to capitalize on a pair of lead-off
walks. But come the third inning, it was like
they couldnt make an out if they tried.
They made one relatively quick but then
Ricks singled and Rodriguez followed with a
walk. After a couple of wild pitches, Justice
Turner brought a run home with a sacrice y
to right. Then, Pacica strung together four
straight singles to really distance themselves
from Danville and get the Section 3 title with-
in snifng distance. Shane Hawkins picked up
an RBI, so did Nate Azzopardi, Spencer
Karalius, Shaw and Christian Falk. Rodriguez
plated run number 10 with a hard single to
left. In all, Pacica sent 13 batters to the plate
in the third.
Once we got to 10 runs, we were really
happy and pumped, Harkness said.
Harkness cruised and reached his pitch
count in the fourth after a walk and strikeout.
It feels good, he said of the win. It was
hard because I was struggling pitching at rst,
but then I got the hang of it.
Steve Falk brought in Christian Falk to
close things out for Pacica and the right-han-
der struck out the nal two batters for the
championship.
I think all the hard work [paid off with] all
the tournament teams. We have huge numbers
for being one of the smallest leagues in the
biggest district, we have a lot of participation
from the kids, Steve Falk said. Everything is
coming together. The next couple of years are
going to be really special for Pacica.

HOUSTON Jeremy Lin loves New York.
He wanted to stay.
Even so, it was more important to him to be
on the court as a starting point guard, and hes
convinced the Houston Rockets will put him
there.
They made a very compelling pitch in terms
of what I could bring to the team and for the
city, Lin said in a statement released through
the team Wednesday, less than 24 hours after
the Knicks decided not to match Houstons
bold three-year, $25 million offer sheet. I am
also impressed with (Houston owner Leslie)
Alexander and the managements commitment
to improving the team.
The Rockets put out the statement not long
after SI.com reported that Lin had acknowl-
edged in an interview, Honestly, I preferred
New York. But my main goal in free agency
was to go to a team that had plans for me and
wanted me. I wanted to have fun playing bas-
ketball.
Fun is what the 23-year-old undrafted guard
was all about last season.
Coming out of nowhere - well, Harvard, by
way of Golden State and then Houston - Lin got
to New York when the Knicks claimed him off
waivers in December. He was briey demoted
to the developmental league, recalled, and got
his chance to play when coach Mike DAntoni
put him in with the Knicks oundering at 8-15.
He scored 25 points in a 99-92 win over New
Jersey Nets and Linsanity was born. Soon
New York was in playoff contention and Lin
was having drinks named after him.
Lin said Wednesday that he loved this past
year with the Knicks and truly appreciate the
opportunity that New York gave me, even
though the team decided to let him go.
The way the fans fully embraced me and our
team was something Ill always cherish forev-
er, he said. It was an extraordinary and unfor-
gettable time that was easily the best year of my
life.
And now its on to Houston, which made its
move and got its man.
Why did the Rockets go for him? Because it
made basketball sense and marketing sense.
The Rockets not only lled a position of
need, but also snagged a player who may re-
establish the franchise in Asia, where the team
enjoyed massive popularity during Yao Mings
career.
Lin is American-born, but of Chinese and
Taiwanese descent, and his timing is perfect to
capitalize on the NBAs explosive growth in
China.

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England
There are no sheep to be found
around this lush patch of northwest-
ern England.
Their legacy lives on through a
landscape pockmarked with deep,
treacherous traps hundreds of
them, in fact.
Welcome to Royal Lytham & St.
Annes.
There are a staggering 206
bunkers dotting this historic course,
where the British Open begins
Thursday. The golfer who does the
best job staying out of these sandy
spots of doom could very well wind
up with the claret jug in his grasp
come Sunday evening.
Rule No. 1, avoid the bunkers,
Englands Paul Casey said. Rule
No. 2, if youre in a bunker, just get
it out. Dont go for the glory shot.
While pot bunkers can be found at
golf clubs around the world, they are
a distinctive feature on links cours-
es, right up there with inclement
weather. What they lack in size they
make up for in depth, leaving a
much tougher escape route than the
traps typically found on PGA Tour
layouts.
The origins of the pot bunker sup-
posedly traces back centuries, when
sheep burrowed into the ground
seeking warmth and shelter from the
notorious coastal weather. The mod-
ern version is created with layers of
sod stacked atop each other, similar
to bricklaying, which creates a men-
acing wall that usually leaves the
offender with little chance of pulling
off a decent shot.
Tony Jacklin, who won the 1969
Open at Lytham, dened the bunker
mentality this way: players accept-
ing that fate every time a ball tum-
bles into the sand.
The bunkers essentially have a
red line around them, he said. I
mean, theyre a one-shot penalty.
Maintaining that imposing line of
defense takes up plenty of the
grounds crews time and efforts. To
prevent weeds sprouting from the
sodden bricks, a herbicide is applied
using a soft bristle brush, almost like
painting the side of a house.
Last week, we went out there and
pulled out any stray weeds by hand,
Lloyd Balazs, a full-time
groundskeeper at the club, said as he
walked along the 18th fairway under
a setting sun Wednesday, the start of
the tournament just hours away. If
we need to, well brush the sides to
get any sand off.
Of course, the bunkers dont get
nearly as much of a workout during
the British Open as they do when
regular duffers are playing. And
either way, there was even some dis-
agreement over just how many there
were. Some media outlets reported
205. Others, including the Royal &
Ancient governing body, said it was
206. Not that one less bunker will be
much consolation for the 156 play-
ers chasing golfs oldest major title.
At any links golf course youve
got to stay out of the bunkers,
because you cant get to the green,
Tiger Woods said. Thats just a
fact. If you hit the ball in there, its
going to go up against the face,
because it goes in there with some
steam, and youre pitching it out
sideways or sometimes even back-
ward.
If its any solace, the pot bunkers
at Lytham tend to be more visible
off the tee than other Open courses
like St. Andrews, where the drive
requires a bit of blind faith and an
accurate yardage book.
The neat thing about these
bunkers is how I think theyre raised
up a lot so that you can visually see
them and then shape the ball off of
them. ... You can hit a fade or draw.
Theyre starting points. You can
actually see where they begin and
end, Woods added.
Sandy spots of doom are everywhere at Royal Lytham

16th stage of the Tour de France over
four huge climbs in the Pyrenees,
while defending champion Cadel
Evans dropped out of title contention
Wednesday.
Evans started the day fourth overall
but the Australian struggled on the last
two climbs. Bradley Wiggins wore the
yellow jersey a little more comfort-
ably gaining ground on some key
pursuers.
Voeckler dominated the 123-mile
course from Pau to Bagneres-de-
Luchon, the Frenchman leading a
breakaway for his second stage victo-
ry of the Tour. He also won Stage 10
and has four in total.
"Every one of the mountain passes
was a race for me," said Voeckler,
who captured the polka dot jersey for
the best climber from Fredrik
Kessiakoff of Sweden. "I did what
many young riders dream of doing
leading everyone over all four sum-
mits."
Chris Anker Sorensen of Denmark
was second, 1 minute, 40 seconds
back. The top title contenders
Wiggins, Sky teammate and compa-
triot Christopher Froome of Britain
and Vincenzo Nibali of Italy n-
ished more than 7 minutes back.
The Tour was riding under a new
doping cloud. RadioShack team
leader Frank Schleck was expelled
from the race Tuesday after testing
positive for a banned diuretic.
Overall, Wiggins leads second-
place Froome by 2:05 and third-place
Nibali by 2:23. Jurgen Van Den
Broeck of Belgium moved up to
fourth, 5:46 back.
Evans crossed nearly 5 minutes
behind Wiggins to drop to seventh,
8:06 off the pace. Teammate Tejay
Van Garderen said the defending
champion appeared to suffer from
heat and stomach problems, and had
"just a bad day."
Evans was about 40 seconds back
of his teammates, but recovered and
joined the pack by the foot of the day's
last climb after receiving an escort.
But he struggled on the last climb,
continuing to lose time.
Voeckler win 16th stage, Wiggins remains in lead

of fast riders coming up behind you. I nd
that doesnt happen much at the TDP.
All rides but the kid/family ride take par-
ticipants through parts of San Mateo and its
at this point even the most casual rider, who
could only dream of competing in a profes-
sional road race, gets big-time treatment.
Skilbeck said streets and intersections would
be coned off and police controled for riders
safety. Skilbeck estimates there is about 10
miles of each course that offers trafc-free
riding.
Which is what every cyclist wants,
Skilbeck said. It has a big-event feel.
Adding to the event is the sheer beauty of
the TDP from the scenery to the course to
the weather. The various tours will take
cyclists along Sawyer Camp trail, along the
Crystal Springs reservoir, steep climbs and
harrowing descents.
The reason I came to live in the Bay Area
is for the cycling. This is one of the best
cycling regions in the world, Skilbeck said,
a native of London who competed in profes-
sional and semi-pro events and has lived on
the Peninsula for 15 years.
The climate here is just about perfect. The
temperature is not too hot, not too cool. You
have coastal roads, mountain roads. This is
as good as it gets.
As a former cycling journalist covering
world tours, Skilbeck has seen his fair share
of events. He rates the TDP as one of the
best.
The venue for the TDP, at Coyote Point
Park, is one of the best Ive seen, Skilbeck.
Its the location, the weather, the facilities.
All these thing combined (make it a great
event).
Its a very relaxed, easy-going time.
Skilbeck encourages would-be participants
to sign up at Talbots Cyclery, one of the
events sponsor, to not only register but to
get you bike tuned up and ready for some
heavy riding.
You want to make sure your bike is good
condition before taking it for a ride,
Skilbeck said.
Dont worry, though. There will be mobile
mechanics patrolling the courses, as will pro
cycling team Webcor, who will be offering
support and advice on-course, as well.

including proper enforcement of the playing
rules and efcient management of our games.
We are condent that these game ofcials
will enforce rules relating to player safety.
Contrary to NFLRA leadership, we do not
believe that players will play dirty or inten-
tionally break the rules.
Hochuli, perhaps the best-known NFL ref,
said the 121 ofcials who are locked out are
training on their own, including hours of
video work and taking rules tests.
When the lockout ends and we know it
will end well be ready to take the eld the
next day, Hochuli said. But just like the
players, whose preseason helps get the mis-
takes out before the season starts, if there is no
preseason (for the ofcials), there will be mis-
takes that will happen, just like with the play-
ers.
The players were locked out for 4 1/2
months last year before getting a 10-year con-
tract.
Lockout seems to be their negotiating
strategy with everyone, Green said. We
dont want to be locked out. We want to get
back to the table and get this resolved.
The league responded that it began the
process of hiring replacements when the of-
cials told the NFL of their intention to author-
ize a strike.
We have great respect for our ofcials and
in keeping with that view have made a pro-
posal that includes substantial increases in
compensation for all game officials, the
NFLs statement said. We have negotiated in
good faith since last October. We accepted the
unions suggestion that we involve federal
mediators in the negotiations.
We are available to meet with the NFLRA
at any time to negotiate a new contract.
No talks are scheduled.
The ofcials say their wage offer was for a
smaller increase than they received in the col-
lective bargaining agreement that expired in
May. They said it would cost each of the 32
teams $100,000 per year to meet that propos-
al.
The NFL has called its offer to the ofcials
a fair one, noting it includes a seven-year deal
with annual compensation increases of
between 5 and 11 percent. According to the
league, an ofcial in his fth season earned an
average of $115,000 in 2011 and would earn
more than $183,000 in 2018 under its propos-
al.
The officials also cite as issues higher
wages for their peers in the NBA, NHL and
Major League Baseball, and the loss of a pen-
sion system established in 1974 and adminis-
tered by the NFL until it was recently frozen,
then eliminated.
No game ofcial will lose any vested pen-
sion benet under our proposal and the clubs
will fully fund all pension obligations, the
league said.
The NFL used replacement ofcials for the
opening weekend of the 2001 season. Then
came the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and a new
CBA soon was reached.
But many of the ofcials used 11 years ago
had worked at the highest college level, and
the NFLRA says the ofcials being inter-
viewed now arent nearly as experienced.
Players know who we are, Hochuli said.
They were kids watching us on TV. Theres a
certain amount of, Hey, I realize Hochuli is
watching what Im doing. If theyve got a
high school or junior college ofcial out there,
theyre going to do more.

of the runs were unearned. So despite MSJ
having a lot of opportunities, Nuno did a good
job of limiting the damage as he and
Anderson combined to strand 11 MSJ
baserunners.
Nuno worked 5 2/3 innings in earning the
win.
Tommy came back to me after the rst
inning and said, I can go the whole game,
Salinero said.
Making the championship even more satis-
fying was the fact Half Moon Bay had to do it
the hard way. Not only did it have to come
through the consolation bracket, it had to do it
against the team that handed it the rst 2012
playoff loss MSJ.
They knocked us out [into the consolation
bracket] in the rst game (of the tournament),
7-5, Salinero said.
Half Moon Bay responded by winning its
next three games including a win over MSJ
16-6 in the rst game of the championship
series Tuesday evening.
Wednesday, Half Moon Bay jumped out to
an early 1-0 lead, scratching a run across in
the top of the rst when Jake Salinero scored
on a Nuno sacrice y, but MSJ came right
back to tie the game in the bottom of the
frame.
Half Moon Bay managed only one hit over
the next two innings, while MSJ took a 3-1
lead with two runs in the bottom of the third,
a rally aided by two HMB errors.
Without warning, HMB came alive in the
fourth, scoring nine runs on eight hits with 14
batters coming to the plate. The eruption was
fueled by two pinch hitters Hart Ayoob and
Wyatt Stack. Ayoob tied the game at three
with a two-run single while Stack celebrated
his birthday with the run-scoring single.
Ayoob came to the plate a second time in the
inning and drove in his third run of the day.
Ryan Yerbey also came off the bench and
got into the action, driving in a run with an
ineld hit and eventually scoring as well.
The bats came alive, Salinero said. The
subs came in and started that rally.
Ayoob has worked in a platoon at rst base
with Alex Hacker in the playoffs and it has
really paid off for both players. Hacker got his
hacks as well, driving in what turned out to be
the game-winning run in the top of the sixth
with a booming shot off the fence in lefteld.
In all, Half Moon Bay nished with 14 hits,
led by Antonio Lopezs 4 for 4 effort a
double, three singles and a walk, three RBIs
and a run scored. Nuno, Anderson, Hacker
and Yerbey each had a RBI. Cleanup hitter
James Cartwright had a pair of hits, including
a double, and scored two runs. Jake Salinero
also scored a couple of runs.
Next up for Half Moon Bay is the Division
tournament in Stockton beginning Saturday.

SEAL HARBOR, Maine Some of
Maines most popular destinations are located
on Mount Desert Island, including Bar Harbor
and Acadia National Park. But the island is
also home to several remarkable gardens, all
connected to the renowned landscape archi-
tect Beatrix Farrand, whose philosophy of
garden design emphasized native plants and
using natural landscapes to dene outdoor
spaces.
One of the gardens, the Abby Aldrich
Rockefeller Garden in Seal Harbor, is a pri-
vate garden thats open to the public, by reser-
vation only, just a few days a year. But the
other two, Thuya Garden and Asticou Azalea
Garden in Northeast Harbor, which contain
plants from Farrands Bar Harbor home, wel-
come visitors daily for much of the spring,
summer and fall.
All three gardens use natural settings so art-
fully that its sometimes hard to tell where the
landscaping ends and nature begins.
Farrand, the sole woman among the
founders of the American Society of
Landscape Architects, was born in New York
in 1872 and died in Bar Harbor in 1959. She
designed gardens for the White House, con-
sulted at Princeton and other institutions, and
had many prominent private clients, including
John D. Rockefeller Jr. and his wife Abby.
Farrand worked with Abby Rockefeller to
design the private garden in Seal Harbor
between 1926 and 1930. The property is still
owned by the Rockefeller family. Each sum-
mer, the garden opens to the public one day a
week, but reservations ll up fast. As of mid-
July, only a handful of slots were left for late
August and early September. And theres no
sneaking in: To be admitted, your name must
be on a checklist at the entrance, which is vir-
tually unmarked and hard to nd even with
directions. Photos are permitted only for per-
sonal use.
Once inside, most visitors head to the rec-
tangular lawn, where the borders burst with
colorful owers and plants familiar to any
backyard gardener, from bright purple clema-
tis vines to gray-green dusty miller. But in
some ways the Rockefeller garden is at its
most stunning away from the sunny ower
beds, where the landscaping melts into the
woods. Forested paths are carpeted by velvety
moss; giant hostas and feathery ferns offer
contrasting textures and a palette of greens. A
stone wall punctuated by doorways shaped
like the full moon or a bottle give the feeling
of stepping into a secret garden hidden in a
magical forest. The property also displays
centuries-old Asian art, ranging from
Buddhas to tall stone gures lining the walk-
ways.
David Bennett, a landscape architect in
Washington D.C., has visited the Rockefeller
garden as part of his research for restoration
of Farrands kitchen garden at The Mount, the
country estate in Lenox, Mass., created by
Farrands aunt, writer Edith Wharton. Bennett
says Farrand wanted her gardens to t into
their natural settings. She had a strong appre-
ciation for the natural character of the land
and the appropriate way of integrating a
designed landscape with its natural context.
She used plants to create impressionistic
effects of texture and color, and was also
known for creating outdoor garden rooms,

The state Senate approved the high-speed rail funding bill
by a margin of just one vote on July 6.
Senate president pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento,
who supported the bill, thanked the governor for his leader-
ship and for not giving up on the future.
Weve got to build high-speed rail, Steinberg said. You
can pave the farmlands with new roads and black out skies
with airplanes, but the air we breathe will be no better than a
tailpipe.
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee called the Transbay Transit
Center the future Grand Central Station of the West, and
complemented the governor and the mayors of Los Angeles,
Fresno, Sacramento and San Jose for supporting the vision of
high-speed rail and infrastructure investments in the face of
budget cuts and widespread public criticism.
Were not waiting, Lee said. High-speed rail is the con-
nector for our future investment across the state.
Under SB 1029, transit agencies at high-speed rails book-
ends the Bay Area, Los Angeles and San Diego will
benet from millions of dollars in early investments to mod-
ernize local rail systems.
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency will
receive around $61 million to help construct a 1.7-mile exten-
sion of a light rail line from Fourth and King streets to
Chinatown.
Caltrain is set to receive more than $700 million in state
funding matched by $750 million from the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission to replace diesel-powered
engines with electric trains.
BART will receive an estimated $145 million to purchase
new rail cars and improve tracks at its Millbrae Station, which
will eventually be a connector station for high-speed rail
trains. After signing the funding bill for the second time yes-
terday the rst ceremony took place in the morning at
Union Station in Los Angeles Brown brushed off questions
from reporters about political opposition to high-speed rail
and recent polls that show waning public support.
The world is full of NIMBYS and fearful men, Brown
said. This is a bold move ... dont worry about the polls.
Construction on the rst section of high-speed rail, a 130-
mile stretch in the Central Valley, could break ground by the
beginning of 2013.

Communications.
About 90 professors from 70 universi-
ties in eight countries with specialties in
journalism, public relations, media and
digital communications participated in
the summit.
The goal, Amundson said, is to help
accelerate curriculum to include the lat-
est in what companies and media are
actually doing in the real word.
We can help professors better prepare
the graduates coming into this fast-
changing world. And of course we bene-
t from an even better informed work-
force of graduates and their knowledge
of Edelman as being a strong member of
the community, Amundson said.
Forty local companies participated in
the summit, Edelmans fth academic
summit and rst on the West Coast.
With print media on the decline, com-
panies have to find more innovative
ways to communicate their messages,
she said.
While social medias inuence grows,
she said it is important not to write-off
traditional media, such as newspapers,
because stories and messages ricochet
back and forth between them, she
recently said in an interview with
SandHill.com.
While Edelman masters new media
and helps its clients grow, it too is grow-
ing and is looking to hire more media
and other professionals at its San Mateo
ofce.
We are looking for people with
strong communications backgrounds
and want to hire locally, Amundson told
the Daily Journal.
The company also has plans to stay in
San Mateo for a long time, she said.
We love the energy in this city. It has
a sense of place that is good for our
employees and clients, she said.
The local ofce even hosted about 300
Edelman executives from around the
world recently, throwing a party at the
Kingsh restaurant downtown.
The citys been good to us, she said
about San Mateo.
Although, the ofce has about 130
employees, the Baldwin Avenue ofce is
surprisingly quiet, said Greg Lydon, an
account executive at Edelman.
You hear people typing more than
anything, Lydon said.
The ofce is split into areas based on
the client, so a large wing is dedicated to
just handling Hewlett-Packard, one of its
biggest clients.
In smaller rooms, Edelman employees
communicate with clients by video con-
ference in China, Europe and elsewhere
and help put together events remotely.
Edelman counsels companies in
thought leadership, executive visibility,
change management, product launches,
brand positioning, social responsibility,
employee engagement and financial
communications.
The company also gives back to the
community and is about to launch a
Summer of Service program that
allows its employees to take time off to
volunteer at local nonprot agencies.
The company has partnered with the
Shelter Network, which provides servic-
es for homeless people, in years past.

with the idea of moving through a land-
scape in a sequence, from one space to
another, where each space has its own
character, Bennett said. One space may
be very shady and enclosed, and you pass
through a hedge or a row of trees or
through an actual gate in a wall to enter a
very sunny and open space.
The Thuya and Asticou gardens, easily
found along Route 3 in the neighboring
town of Northeast Harbor, both include
plants from Farrands Bar Harbor estate,
called Reef Point, which Farrand sold in
the mid-1950s.
The azaleas at Asticou are nished
blooming by summer, but Asticous land-
scaped pond is a star attraction in all sea-
sons. The garden was created in 1956 by
Charles K. Savage, who owned the nearby
Asticou Inn. The picture-perfect pond
reects the surrounding owers and trees
like a mirror, and the layers of greenery
and contrasting shapes and textures look
like a Japanese landscape painting.
Savage also designed Thuya Garden,
where the centerpiece consists of spectac-
ular rows of colorful owers, from tower-
ing blue larkspur to delicate pink and
white snapdragons bordering a rectangu-
lar lawn.
Those interested in learning more about
Farrand can also visit Garland Farm on
Route 3 near Bar Harbor, which this sum-
mer started offering regular visiting hours
for the rst time, Thursday afternoons
through Sept. 13. Farrand retired to
Garland Farm after dismantling Reef
Point, bringing plants and ornaments with
her and designing her last gardens there.

If you were the artistic wife of a sailor back in
17th century France, you didnt let modest
means deter you from decorating your home in
style.
You transformed your husbands old sails into
beautifully painted oor coverings that rivaled
those in wealthy homes. British sailors started
bringing them back as souvenirs, and a fad with
impressive reach and longevity was born.
The heavy canvases called oilcloths in
Britain and oorcloths when the art came to
North America would be painted with simple
or elaborate designs depending on the skill level
of the artists (often house painters) and the
nancial status of homeowners. The term oil-
cloth probably refers to the oil-based paints
and linseed oil coatings applied to the canvases.
Waterproof, insect resistant and sturdy, oor-
cloths became just as popular in American
homes. Thomas Jefferson, George Washington
and John Adams had oorcloths in their homes;
you can still see one at Mount Vernon a solid
green, as Washington sought to simulate the
grass outdoors inside.
Near the start of the 20th century, the advent
of mass-produced linoleum sent labor-intensive
oorcloths out of style, but in the 60s and again
more recently, artists have rediscovered the
craft.
Julie Biggs of Pickerington, Ohio, paints hers
with contemporary designs like polka dots or
naif owers in hues of pink, turquoise, yellow
and charcoal gray. A green polka dot rug would
look fresh and young in a childs room.
Shes playing with other ideas, too.
My favorite technique right now is a layered,
worn look, which includes several layers of
designs on one oorcloth, Biggs says. Once
Im nished painting each layer, I sand off some
of the top to let the sub-layers peek through. It
gives the oorcloth a warm, loved look thats
very charming. Recently, Ive been inspired by
the colors and designs of modern fabrics and
quilts.
Weatherseld, Vt.-based Lisa Curry Mair
crafts her rugs in a 200-year-old farmhouse
adorned with many of her creations. She brings
a love of history, childrens book illustrations
and mathematics to her designs.
A mariners compass, an artichoke and a
woven, cane-like pattern are among her best-
sellers, and she does custom designs. The hard-
est thing to get across, she says, is how durable
the pieces are, and thats largely due to the num-
ber of hobby crafters producing inferior prod-
uct.
They use lightweight canvas, cheap paint
and nishes. A oorcloth in a high-trafc
kitchen should stand up to dogs, kids and all
kinds of abuse, Mair says.
A good heavy oorcloth should lie at with
no bumps or ripples, she says. When I make
oorcloths for museums, they must stand up to
30,000 visitors a year walking on them.
Lucia Blum of Wilmington, N.C., gives rugs
a folk-art look. Cat Nap features a black and
white cat surrounded by the stuff of cat dreams:
goldsh, birds and mice. Bunny romps on a
green eld circled by carrots and radishes.
Artist Faith Wilson, who will be showing at
the American Craft Exposition in Evanston, Ill.,
in August, takes a painterly approach to her
often haunting, evocative canvases. Gingko
leaves, conifers and little black birds inhabit
softly hued, sepia-washed backgrounds.
Floorcloths make a comeback
If youre interested in trying your hand at the oorcloth craft yourself, HGTVs website offers
instructions. Mairs website has a how-to video plus a supplies shop.

If its your rose bush rather than your dog
that youre calling spot, then its time for
action.
And getting rid of blackspot the disease
thats marring your roses need not mean
dowsing the plant with chemicals.
Lets first get to know the enemy:
Diplocarpan rosae, a fungus feared by rosari-
ans almost everywhere. Those black spots, if
you look closely, have fringed edges and
black pimples at their centers to distinguish
them from other possible leaf-spotting dis-
eases. Infected leaves soon yellow, then drop,
meaning less energy for the bush which, in
turn, means fewer owers and sometimes the
death of the plant.
Over the almost 200 years that the disease
has been known, its causal fungus has parad-
ed under about 25 different scientic names.
Still, its life cycle is simple.
A YEAR IN THE LIFE
OF BLACK SPOT DISEASE
Blackspot disease spent the winter mostly
in infected leaves that fell to the ground.
Spring warmth and rain awakened the fungus
to shoot spores up into the rosebush and infect
young, unfolding leaves. Moisture was need-
ed to get those spores moving, and then the
leaves had to stay moist for a few hours
before infection could set in. Another, lesser
source of infection is infected areas wintering
on young canes.
Once spores get up into the bush in spring,
infection can continue through the summer as
spores hopscotch from leaf to leaf. As with
the initial infection from fallen leaves, spores
are released and get footholds only when
moisture is present for enough time.
FIRST STEPS AT PREVENTION
Blackspot needs moisture to take hold, so
one way to control it is to plant rose bushes
where they will dry off quickly from dew and
rain: in full sunlight (which roses need for
best owering anyway), and away from walls
or dense shrubs where air can stagnate. This
also means pruning away enough stems that
remaining ones can bathe in drying light and
air. And, of course, wet the ground, not the
leaves, when watering and avoid working
among the bushes when they are wet.
We can also put roadblocks in blackspots
life cycle. Gathering up and composting the
leaves the bush drops in autumn can lessen
the amount of disease inoculum the following
spring. Even better is to mulch the ground
sometime between late autumn and late win-
ter, each year leaving old mulch in place as
you pile on new. Besides mulchs usual bene-
ts, in this case it also acts as a barrier to keep
that rst batch of spores from the leaves.
As for those spores that come from infec-
tions on the stem, drastic pruning is a good
way to deal with them.
PLAN BEFORE PLANTING
Roses vary in susceptibility to blackspot,
and the easiest way to deal with it is to grow
a plant that wont get diseased in the rst
place.
Unfortunately, the most commonly grown
roses, hybrid teas, are also generally the most
susceptible to disease. Even among hybrid
teas, though, there are varieties that resist
blackspot, such as Tropicana, Mister Lincoln,
Pink Peace, Carefree Beauty and Keepsake.
Some grandiora and oribunda types that
resist blackspot include Queen Elizabeth,

Dont put too much stock in blackspot
resistance, though, because there are a num-
ber of races of the blackspot fungus, so a vari-
ety may be resistant in one locale but not in
another.
More reliable resistance is found among so-
called species and shrub roses. Blackspot
usually doesnt cause problems with Father
Hugos Rose, rugosa roses, and some of the
newer varieties of shrub and landscape roses,
such as some of the David Austin roses (espe-
cially the variety The Mayower), the Knock-
Out and the Canadian Explorer series of
roses, and varieties of Buck Roses.
SPRAYING, A LAST RESORT
If you already have roses in the ground and
dont want to replace them, and they have a
relatively good site, and you prune and mulch
them, you could still be calling your rosebush
Spot. Even then, before you reach for some
highly toxic pesticide, try a more benign
alternative: baking soda, that universal cure
for everything from dirty dishpans to smelly
refrigerators.
Mix a tablespoon and a half, along with
either a few drops of dish detergent or two
tablespoons of summer oil (also called horti-
cultural oil) per gallon of water and spray
weekly. For some gardeners, this spray makes
Spot a dogs name again.

the larger Health System structure. At
Wednesdays LAFCo meeting, district
General Manager Bob Gay emphasized
the need to keep West Nile at bay and
called the talk of dissolution a distrac-
tion from the districts true priorities.
He and district board President Sam
Lerner also emphasized the solid work
of the rank and le workers.
There is no valid rationale to disrupt
or dissolve such a successful organiza-
tion, Lerner said. He asked the commis-
sion to use sound judgment and consider
the future health and welfare of resi-
dents.
Craig said she was frustrated to watch
city council meetings at which mosquito
district representatives asked for letters
of support and several cities did com-
ply because they appeared under the
misperception that transfer to the county
meant cutting services or funding.
But Craigs apprehension at maintain-
ing the districts status quo was over-
shadowed by those who prefer to seek
legislation to trim the 21-member board,
recommend it improve its human
resources functions and ask for monthly
ongoing audits.
Richardson, who said she was pro-dis-
solution coming into the meeting, said
the districts list of improvements like
criminal background checks is just
scratching the surface. Changing the
culture of a troubled department or
agency usually requires cleaning out the
board, management and top-level staff,
Richardson said. She also repeatedly
said the district needs to add a purchas-
ing technician to review orders rather
than an assistant manager as it is using.
You dont need more managers.
Where it is lacking is in the business
ofce, she said.
That office is where the alleged
embezzlement the reason dissolution
chatter even began happened.
Between 2009 and 2011, former
nance director Joanne Seeney worked
for the district under the name Jo Ann
Dearman. Prosecutors who eventually
led charges say she and accounting
assistant Vika Sinipata embezzled at
least $650,000 by giving themselves
extra pay at a higher rate and fraudulent
time off, excessively contributed to their
deferred compensation funds, used cred-
it cards for personal purchases and elec-
tronically transferred money into their
own accounts. The alleged embezzle-
ment came to light last year when a dis-
trict board member from San Carlos
questioned expenses in the districts pes-
ticide account. At the time of Seeneys
employment, she had been prosecuted in
two different embezzlement cases and
served time for one while on medical
leave from the district.
Gay insisted he had no knowledge of
the crimes yesterday but Craig asked
why district credit card bills for Seeneys
legal bills didnt raise attention.
It was sure obvious to me, she said
of reviewing the documents.
Gay had not conducted either a crimi-
nal or reference check on Seeney before
her hiring. After the alleged embezzle-
ment came to light, the board put Gay on
an employee improvement plan. The
board also extended his contract.
The district hired Orange County
internal auditor Dr. Peter Hughes to
comb through its financial controls and
he told LAFCo members he hardly
encounters agencies that can recover
from such incidents.
This is one of the rare exceptions
where they have thoughtfully and com-
petently ... not only identified prob-
lems and remedied them but got back
on their feet, he said.
Even had LAFCo opted for dissolu-
tion, San Mateo County supervisors
would have still needed to approve
absorbing it under its Environmental
Health umbrella. Poyatos report con-
cluded that the county could provide
the districts services much as it
does other environmental health pro-
grams because it is already struc-
tured to deliver segregated services like
restaurant inspection and water quality
monitoring. Both supervisors Don
Horsley and Adrienne Tissier, who are
LAFCo members, did not favor disso-
lution yesterday and others also point-
ed to a letter from Environmental
Health Director Dean Peterson in
which he did not favor the recommen-
dation.
The county previously handled rodent
responsibilities but transferred them to
the district in 2008 and shifted all vector
control three years later.
Continued from page 1
LAFCO
August at the earliest.
The only item the commission did
approve was recommending the City
Council certify an environmental study
of the project.
Commissioners did not recommend
amending the citys general plan and did
not recommend changing zoning laws to
allow for institutional use on the proper-
ty currently zoned for commercial.
The votes were close on these two pro-
posals, however, losing narrowly 4-3.
The seven-person panel also recom-
mended the council not approve the con-
ceptual development plan for the private
school project and not approve a devel-
opment deal from the school that guar-
antees $175,000 annually to the city.
The commission voted 6-1 not to
approve the schools development deal
which also offered trafc and noise mit-
igation proposals.
Only Commissioner Eric Reed sup-
ported the development deal, saying it
was unlikely another developer would
show up with a better offer.
The proposal is not dead yet, however,
and school ofcials are hoping the City
Council will be more receptive to the
plan which will make the nal determi-
nation as to whether the school will be
able to relocate its middle school from
Hillsborough.
We are disappointed by the mixed
response we got from commissioners but
remain enthusiastic in our desire to
move to Belmont, said Jill Grossman,
who is on the Crystal Springs Uplands
School Board of Trustees. We think the
project will be both a benet to the
school and city.
Twenty public speakers addressed the
commission Tuesday night on the item,
with the overwhelming majority saying
the school should be welcomed in
Belmont.
Project opponents complained that the
school would add too much trafc and
bring too much noise to the hillside area
off of Ralston Avenue.
The public hearing was continued
from June 19, which also lasted for
hours and had about 20 speakers from
the public comment on the proposal.
The city and Belmont Fire Protection
District earn about $40,000 a year in
property taxes currently from the vacant
property. Local school districts and other
taxing agencies get another $100,000 or
so in property taxes from the property.
Since Crystal Springs Uplands School
is a nonprot and tax-exempt, it offered
the city an annual $175,000 payment to
make up for lost tax revenue. It also
offered a one-time cash payment to the
city of $100,000 and has offered the use
of its turfed athletic eld to local sports
groups.
The commission voted against the
development deal on the basis it did not
t with the citys general plan.
Currently, about 83,000 square feet of
commercial/ofce and warehouse build-
ings and 165 parking spots are situated
at 6-8 and 10 Davis Drive that has stood
vacant for years. Crystal Springs
Uplands wants to demolish the current
buildings and construct a 52,000-square-
foot middle school with a 60-space park-
ing lot, gymnasium/theater/multi-pur-
pose room and an all-weather synthetic
turf playing eld. At capacity, the school
would have 216 students, 26 teachers
and 10 additional staff.
The buildings current ownership has
said it has had little luck attracting com-
mercial tenants to the complex and start-
ed negotiating with the private school
last year to purchase the land. The sale
has yet to be nalized, however.

SCHOOL
THURSDAY, JULY 19, 2012
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You might be luckier in
things that are done for you by others than through
your own actions. Leave the door open, however, for
those who see what youre doing and want in.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Being in a particularly good
pattern for getting substantial help and reaping
copious rewards from ventures or endeavors that
you personally manage, you can do much with little.
Act on it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Timing is your most
valuable asset in helping you achieve two important
objectives. Dont make any moves until you sense
that the iron is hot.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- A close friend of yours
might be instrumental in helping you fnally achieve
something that youve wanted for a long time. Now
that you know how its done, it can be repeated.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Only if you are
materially motivated enough can you increase your
chances for fulflling an ambitious objective. Its one
of those times when you need to really want what
youre chasing.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Alliances estab-
lished for the purpose of proft might not work out
that well, but partnerships formed for noncommercial
reasons will meet with remarkable success.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- There are times
when we need to take a chance in order to bet-
ter our positions where business is concerned. A
well-planned, calculated risk might be just what the

mutual interest, a very enterprising someone whom
you recently met and teamed up with might play a
signifcant role in your life from this day forward.

of circumstances.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- An idea with which
youve been toying looks like it has real merit and
can be expanded into something youll be able to
work with. Sound it out on a person you trust.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There is plenty of
justifcation for good feelings about your commer-
cial affairs. In fact, a recent successful feat can be
repeated.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Although co-workers
may be only lukewarm about accepting one of your
suggestions concerning a mutual enterprise, dem-
onstrate your idea and watch how supportive they
quickly become.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Elias Khenaisser
Case Number 122542
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Elias Khenaisser. A Pe-
tition for Probate has been filed by Ste-
ven N. Khenaisser in the Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Steven
N. Khenaisser be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This
athourity will allow the personal repre-
sentative to take many actions without
obtaining court approval. Before taking
certain very important actions, however,
the personal representative will be re-
quired to give notice to interested per-
sons unless they have waived notice or
consented to the proposed action.) The
independent administration authority will
be granted unless an interested person
files an objection to the petition and
shows good cause why the court should
not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
203 Public Notices
this court as follows: August 20, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, 1st Floor, Redwood City,
CA 94063. If you object to the granting
of the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
