REFINERY PROBLEMS CITED IN RECENT RISE AT THE PUMP
By Kasie Hunt and Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NORFOLK, Va. Republican presidential
candidate Mitt Romney has picked Wisconsin
congressman Paul Ryan to be his running
mate, according to a Republican with knowl-
edge of the development. They will appear
together Saturday in Norfolk, Va., at the start
of a four-state bus tour to introduce the newly
minted GOP ticket to the
nation.
The ofcial spoke to the
Associated Press on con-
dition of anonymity
because this person was
not authorized to disclose
the decision.
In a statement issued
Friday night, Romneys
campaign would say only
that the running mate
would be revealed at 9
a.m. EDT at the Nauticus
Museum. Berthed at the
museum is the USS
Wisconsin which
offered a hint about
Romneys choice.
Before Romneys team
issued the statement, all signs seemed to point
to Ryan, the seven-term Wisconsin congress-
man whose nomination could help assuage
the conservative base of the party that has
been reluctant to fully embrace Romney.
Romneys preference for a team player can-
not be overstated in a campaign led by an
inner circle that has worked together for a

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Six people are vying for three spots on the San Mateo

radar than most school and county battles but which are
nonetheless now set for the ballot.
Friday marked the ling deadline for the Nov. 6 ballot, pri-
marily the races which did not rst require a June primary such
as city councils, health care districts and water boards.
The Harbor Commission election is one of the few in which

With debt obligations, an unresolved
structural decit and declining ridership,
SamTrans is developing a plan to boost
ridership and to make the countys pub-
lic bus service more efcient.
At least 65 percent of SamTrans
routes are below the system average for
both nancial effectiveness and produc-
tivity, according to a draft service plan
the board heard at its Thursday meeting.
Monday, the transit agency is expected
to release an updated version of the
SamTrans Service Plan after which it
plans months of public outreach before
putting the plan into effect in 2013.
Some of the recommended strategies
in the draft plan call for consolidating
weekday routes 390 and 391; increase
the frequency of the routes between Palo
Alto and Redwood City along El
Camino Real; and discontinuing route
391 service into San Francisco.
Another proposal is to modify service
into San Francisco by modifying bus
routes KX and 292 to peak periods only.

Butteries werent always a passion for
Steven Albaranes.
The San Mateo artist makes beautiful wall
creations using the uttering creatures for his
company, Buttery Gallery, but once spent his
extra time dedicated to saltwater sh. He had
two large tanks for the sh when the 1989
Loma Prieta earthquake struck. It ruined the
tanks. Albaranes had to reevaluate how he
spent his free time. A visit to the Academy of
Arts introduced Albaranes to butteries. Now
hes working with 300 to 350 different species
to create pieces of art.
His work will be among that of more than
125 artisans featured this weekend at the
Burlingame Artzfest, the free annual summer
festival held on Burlingame Avenue. The
largest annual fundraiser for the Burlingame
Chamber of Commerce, the event features live
music, a showcase of local talent and product
booths for nearby businesses.
This is the perfect way to spend the week-
end, Georgette Naylor, CEO of the
Burlingame Chamber of Commerce, wrote in a
prepared statement. Whether its hanging out
with friends or bringing together the family for
a fun outing, the ArtzFest always provides an
enjoyable experience for any age.
Albaranes started showcasing his work at
similar festivals in the 90s. He loves the oppor-
tunity to meet people, talk about his work and
even setting up his booth. Often people have
questions about the butteries, which he gets
from breeders. Butteries only live two to three
weeks, he said, adding his artwork is a wonder-
ful way to admire their beauty well past that
time.
Albaranes, who makes his buttery creations
full time, often works on custom orders. San
Mateo jewelry designer Crickette Brown Glad,
who will also showcase her work this weekend,
similarly spends much of her time on custom
orders for her company Between the Cleavage.
Brown Glad had always been an artist but
didnt start making jewelry until taking a class
in 2000. Then she realized what she should
have always been doing.
Its like painting with gems, Brown Glad
said, adding she often puts out beads not know-
ing what shes making. Its all about allowing
for inspiration. For that reason, making a piece
can take a couple hours or a couple weeks, she
said. Brown Glads biggest challenge is look-
ing for unique pieces to use in her creations.
While traveling in Cairo, Egypt, I shopped
along The Souk Marketplace. I stumbled upon
a tiny store and opened a bag of treasure, said
Brown Glad. I found 400-year-old silver in
pieces that I currently use to create unusual,
one-of-a-kind metamorphosis necklaces in my
jewelry line.
Shes slowly running out of the pieces and
joked that she and her husband will need to
return to Egypt soon.
San Mateo local Locke Heemstra also travels
for his photography work, which will be on dis-
play this weekend. In fact, he was spending the
week leading up to the annual event printing
work from his recent trip to France.
Heemstra began his interest in photography
as a child when he was given his rst basic
camera as a child. It was always something he
studied but did it on the side until he began
focusing on it full time in the early 90s. Now
he often travels overseas searching for a magic
moment that others miss. Its all about the
chase, he said. Thats the exciting part.
He recently came across such beauty while in
France. Shows, he said, are often the best ways
to see his new work.
Locke Heemstras Photography, Heemstras
company, also features many colorful land-
scapes throughout the United States. Showing
in Burlingame is like a return to the start for
Heemstra. A Burlingame High School alum-
nus, Heemstra rst debuted his photography at
Washington Park in the 70s.
The Burlingame ArtzFest will be held 10 a.m.
to 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 11 and Sunday, Aug.
12 on Burlingame Avenue in Burlingame. The
free weekend event includes live music, art,
food, wine, kids entertainment and shopping.

Utility work to
resume in San Brunos
Crestmoor neighborhood
Utility construction in the
Crestmoor neighborhood of San
Bruno will resume early next week
after a gas line was clipped by a con-
tractor working to replace lines dam-
aged in the September 2010 explo-
sion and re, according to the city.
San Bruno ofcials sent out a
notice Friday that the contractor,
Shaw Pipeline, revised its safety pro-
tocol to the citys satisfaction. Last
Thursday, workers digging with a
backhoe clipped the two-inch line
near Earl Avenue and Glenview
Drive in nearly the same location
as the deadly blast. Shaw has since
apologized for the accident, accept-
ed responsibility and provided addi-
tional safety measures for the dura-
tion of the project, according to the
city.
Alleged residential
burglar arrested
A transient man is in custody in
connection to two residential burgla-
ries in the area near San Mateos
Laurelwood Park in May and June,
according to police.
The rst burglary was 1:30 p.m.
May 18 on the 1500 block of
Cherrywood Drive. In that case, an
alert resident noticed two people
walking alongside her home and
called police. The suspects ed, but
police believe they committed a res-
idential burglary in the same neigh-
borhood. The second burglary was
about 6:45 p.m. June 4 on the 300
block of Greeneld Avenue. A resi-
dent a resident observed three men
in the backyard of a residence and
called police. The suspects ed but
abandoned their vehicle which was
taken as evidence. Both witness
descriptions were similar and detec-
tives later identied one of the sus-
pects as Devante Hampton, 20, a
transient formerly of Hayward.
Police issued an arrest warrant Aug.
7 and learned he was arrested in
Contra Costa County for the San
Mateo warrant and other outstanding
warrants in Contra Costa County,
according to police.

The son of a woman imprisoned
for poisoning her husband with a
laced milkshake and kidnapping
the boy to Mexico for years is now
himself facing incarceration in the
assault of a man at a Redwood City
taqueria last month.
Jonathan Fuentes Ortiz, along
with alleged accomplices Juan
Carlos Madero, 30, and Robert
Gallegos, 29, are charged with
felony assault and gang charges in
the July 21 incident. On Friday,
Gallegos pleaded not guilty and
was ordered back to court Sept. 19
for a preliminary hearing. Ortiz,
22, and Madero were arrested
before Gallegos and had already
entered not guilty pleas. They are
also due back in September when
the cases of all three will be con-
solidated.
The three are accused of beating
a man and assaulting him with a
broken bottle at Tacos El Grullense
at 768 Woodside Road in Redwood
City. Police say surveillance video
and witnesses
indicated the
men, all known
gangmembers,
attacked the
man who was
later treated at a
hospital for seri-
ous facial
injuries.
For Ortiz, the
new case comes
less than a year
after he was
sentenced to jail
and rehab for
attacking his
father in 2010.
He also received
a five-year sus-
pended prison
term which will
kick in if con-
victed in the new case. According
to prosecutors at the time, Ortiz
blamed his father for his mothers
imprisonment.
Ortiz was just 2 years old in
March 1992 when his mother,
Elizabeth Fuentes , fed his father a
chocolate milkshake mixed with a
bug killer and
fled the country
to her native
M e x i c o .
Fuentes was
located and
arrested in 2000
on attempted
murder charges
but her son
remained miss-
ing until his
grandmother brought the boy to
the San Mateo County womens
jail for a visit. A sharp-eyed deputy
connected the child to an age-
enhanced drawing commissioned
by authorities searching for him.
Ortiz was then reunited with the
father, Gilbert Ortiz, who survived
the poisoning. Elizabeth Fuentes
was convicted and sentenced to 13
years to life in prison. She was
denied parole for the first time in
January 2010. She is next eligible
in 2015.

Angelo Joseph Rallo
Angelo Joseph Rallo died of natural causes in the early
morning hours of July 28, 2012 in Los Angeles surrounded
by his loving wife Mafalda and daughter
Linda. He was 95 years old.
Joseph was a flute child prodigy. He
studied under Leonardo De Lorenzo
from the Eastman School of Music. In
1938, he graduated from the University
of Rochester with a degree in mathemat-
ics.
When Joseph was 19 years old, he met
Mafalda Elliott. This past April, Joseph
and Mafalda celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary.
Joseph and Mafalda started their life together in
Rochester, N.Y., but moved to California in the early 1950s
to raise their two children, Linda and John (son John died
in 2000). Joseph and Mafalda lived in San Mateo for near-
ly 50 years.
Joseph continued his love of music by playing his flute as
a member of the Bohemian Groves Band and Symphony.
He also played with the Family Clubs Band.
In 2009, Joseph and Mafalda moved to Los Angeles to be

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A parolee who burglarized Redwood
City storage units on Valentines Day
and later gave one owner some of her
items back was sentenced yesterday to a
year in a residential treatment program.
Michael Curtis Schoening, 33, plead-
ed no contest in June to felony counts of
burglary and theft and also admitted hav-
ing prior convictions for residential and
commercial burglary. Schoening was
given a suspended sentenced of three
years and eight months in prison and a
year county jail that
can be modied to
the Delancey Street
treatment program.
He must also spend
three years on proba-
tion and pay restitu-
tion to the victims.
Schoening was
arrested in February
after a woman
reported that her
locker at Public Storage on East
Bayshore Road in Redwood City had
several items missing. The woman told
authorities while she was inspecting the
unit Schoening approached and began
questioning her about the loss. He then
reportedly retrieved some of her proper-
ty from his storage unit and claimed he
had found them in a dumpster. Four days
later, Redwood City police searched
Schoenings unit as part of his parole
conditions and reported nding he pos-
sessed a large amount of stolen prop-
erty from other burglary victims at the
same facility, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.

ST. LOUIS A deepening drought in
the nations farm states has cut further into
this falls harvest, with farmers now
expected to pull from their elds the low-
est corn yield in more than a decade.
But American farmers are still expected
to produce their eighth-largest harvest
ever, and while theres sure to be a rise in
prices at the grocery stores, theres little
risk of a failed harvest that would lead to
shortages on the shelves.
The U.S. Agriculture Department pre-
dicted the nations biggest harvest ever in
the spring, when farmers planted 96.4 mil-
lion acres of corn the most since 1937.
But it cut its estimate a month ago and
again Friday, saying it now expects the
nation to produce 10.8 billion bushels, the
least since 2006.
If that estimate holds, the federal gov-
ernment says it will be enough to meet the
worlds needs and ensure there are no
shortages. But experts say food prices will
almost certainly climb as corn is a widely
used ingredient found in everything from
cosmetics to cereal, colas and candy bars.
The drought stretching across the U.S.
from Ohio west to California is deepest in
the middle of the country, and major farm
states like Iowa and Illinois are seeing
conditions get worse each week. Farmers
credit advances in seed technology that
have produced hardier, more drought-tol-
erant corn for any harvest at all.
I have to be honest with you, Im total-
ly stunned we have corn with green stalks
and leaves after going through weeks of
105-degree temperature, said Garry
Niemeyer, the National Corn Growers
Associated president who has 1,200 acres
of corn and 800 acres of soybeans near
Auburn, Ill.

Air Force relieves
commander over sex scandal
AUSTIN, Texas The fallout
from a sex scandal at Lackland Air
Force Base
widened Friday,
when the mili-
tary ousted the
top commander
over the basic
training unit
where investiga-
tors say dozens
of female
recruits were
sexually assaulted or harassed by
their male instructors.
Col. Glenn Palmer had arrived at
Lackland last year and was in
charge when allegations involving
more than a dozen instructors began
to mount within his 737th training
group. Collen McGee, spokes-
woman for the Lackland training
wing, said it was decided the unit
needed new leadership.
Sikhs leave bullet hole
to mark mass shooting
OAK CREEK, Wis. They
removed the bloodstained carpet-
ing, repaired shattered windows and
painted over gunre-scarred walls.
But Sikh Temple of Wisconsin
members left a single bullet hole to
mark the memory of a white
supremacists deadly rampage.
As thousands Friday mourned the
six victims gunned down before a
prayer service, the temples mem-
bers worked late the previous night
to remove all but the one trace of
the shooting. The waist-high bullet
hole in a door jamb near the main
prayer room was left as a memorial
to the six slain worshippers.
We will put a plaque here,
Harpreet Singh, the nephew of one
of the victims, said Friday. We will
make sure they are never forgotten.
1873 dime sells for a
pretty penny: $1.6 million
PHILADELPHIA A dime
made in 1873 has cost someone a
pretty penny: It sold for $1.6 mil-
lion at auction.
An anonymous bidder won the
pristine coin, said Chris Napolitano,
president of Stacks Bowers
Galleries, which auctioned it during
an American Numismatic
Association convention. With a 15
percent buyers fee tacked on, the
nal price for the coin was $1.84
million, he said.
The rare coin was minted in
Carson City, Nev., during a one-day
run of dimes.

WASHINGTON Democrats
are growing increasingly condent
that a two-pronged tax attack on
Republican Mitt Romney one
part policy, one part personal will
help President Barack Obama lure
pivotal support from middle class
voters.
Led by Obama, the Democrats are
going after Romney for seeking to
protect tax cuts for the wealthy and
for refusing to release more informa-
tion on the taxes he pays on his per-
sonal fortune.
De mo c r a t s
say both public
and private polls
suggest the dou-
b l e - b a r r e l e d
focus on taxes is
giving Obama
an edge in the
race. The strate-
gy also gives
the president an
avenue to cam-
paign on the economy the top
issue for voters while steering
clear of talking about the nations
high unemployment.
A sign the strategy might be work-
ing: Romney
said both cam-
paigns would
benefit if they
agreed that
attacks based
upon business or
family or taxes
or things of that
nature that
this is just
this is diver-
sion. Instead, he said in an inter-
view with NBC News, he would pre-
fer to have a setting in which he and
Obama would only talk about issues
and differences in their positions.

NEW YORK A surprise surge
in gasoline prices is taking some of
the fun out of summer.
The national average for a gallon
of gas at the pump has climbed to
$3.67, a rise of 34 cents since July 1.
An increase in crude oil prices and
problems with refineries and
pipelines in the West Coast and
Midwest, including a fire in
California, are mostly to blame.
Analysts dont expect gas prices
to get as high as they did in April,
when 10 states passed $4 a gallon
and the U.S. average topped out at
$3.94. But this is still unwelcome
news in this sluggish economy,
since any extra money that goes to
ll gas tanks doesnt get spent on
movies and dinners out.
The rising prices could also put
pressure on President Barack
Obama in the heat of his re-election
campaign.
When Phil Van Schepen recently
went to fill up his dry-cleaning
delivery van in Coon Rapids, Minn.,
he found a Post-it note a driver
before him had placed on the pump
faulting Obama for high gasoline
prices.
Its a reminder of his energy
policies overall, which I dont agree
with, said Van Schepen, who buys
about 100 gallons a week and nds
he is spending about $40 more than
he did in early July.

Chavez: American man
detained in Venezuela
CARACAS, Venezuela
President Hugo Chavez said
Ve n e z u e l a n
authorities have
detained an
American man
and are interro-
gating him, sus-
pecting he could
be a merce-
nary plotting to
destabilize the
country if the
opposition loses
the upcoming presidential election.
Chavez told reporters on Friday
that under questioning the man said
he had been a U.S. Marine.
The man has military training
and he refuses to give information.
That in itself is suspicious, Chavez
said on state television.
Chavez did not identify the man
nor detail the accusations against
him. But the case has the potential
to ratchet up longstanding tensions
between Venezuela and the U.S.
less than two months ahead of
Venezuelas presidential election.
Afghan policeman turns
gun on Marines, kills three
KABUL, Afghanistan An
Afghan police officer shot and
killed three U.S. Marines after
sharing a meal with them before
dawn Friday and then fled into the
desolate darkness of southern
Afghanistan, the third attack on
coalition forces by their Afghan
counterparts in a week.
Four other international troops
also died Friday, bringing to seven
the number killed on the day in the
violent south, where insurgents
have their strongest roots. Three
died in an attack, which is under
investigation, and the fourth was
killed in a separate attack, NATO
said. Thirty-one coalition service
members have now died this year at
the hands of Afghan forces or insur-
gents disguised in Afghan uniforms,
according to NATO a dramatic
rise from previous years.
The assaults have cast a shadow
of fear and mistrust over U.S.
efforts to train Afghan soldiers and
police more than 10 years after the
U.S.-led invasion to topple the
Talibans hardline Islamist regime
for sheltering al-Qaidas leader-
ship.
U.S.: Al-Qaida gaining
foothold in Syria
WASHINGTON Al-Qaida
has advanced beyond isolated
pockets of activity in Syria and
now is building a network of well-
organized cells, according to U.S.
intelligence officials, who fear the
terrorists could be on the verge of
establishing an Iraq-like foothold
that would be hard to defeat if
rebels eventually oust President
Bashar Assad.
At least a couple of hundred
al-Qaida-linked militants are
already operating in Syria, and
their ranks are growing as for-
eign fighters stream into the
Arab country daily, current and
former U.S. intelligence offi-
cials say.

Are you afraid of butter? Julia
Child would tell you to use cream.
Its one of the Julia-isms that
have become famous. Child, the
chef, author and television person-
ality recognized for bringing
French cooking to the United
States, would have turned 100 on
Aug. 15. Sadly, Child died in 2004.
But that doesnt mean her follow-
ers cant celebrate Childs contri-
bution to the culinary world.
Locally, Draegers Home
Department in downtown San
Mateo has nearly a week-long cel-
ebration planned starting Sunday
where visitors can relive Childs
lessons and enjoy tasty treats
inspired by her life.
Im really pleased with the
response, said Kathleen Taggart,
director of the Home Department
and Cooking School at Draegers.
While Draegers holds events,
most are created around a visiting
chef. Child actually visited the
Menlo Park Draegers location in
1998. This time, the store is simply
celebrating Child with food,
screenings, giveaways and product
demonstrations.
Most events will be held from 1
p.m. to 3 p.m. at the San Mateo
store. Sunday, Aug. 12 marks the
start of the activities with product
demos. Throughout the day
Monday, Aug. 13, the PBS series
featuring Julia Child, The French
Chef, will be playing in the cook-
ing school. On Tuesday, Aug. 14,
starting at 5 p.m., the movie Julie
& Julia, will be screened in the
cooking school. Its the second
time Draegers has shown the film,
Taggart said.
Wednesday, Aug. 15, Childs
actual birthday, will be celebrated
with chocolate cake and espresso
in the afternoon. Its just the start
of the sweet tooth gatherings.
Friday, Aug. 17 will include a tast-
ing of assorted French confections.
Festivities come to an end
Saturday, Aug. 18 with a sample
tasting of Truffili chocolate.
Product demonstrations from
sponsors will be held throughout
the activities. There will also be
opportunities to win daily prizes
including a round French oven.
Along with celebrating,
Draegers is encouraging those
who come by to bring an item to be
donated to the Second Harvest
Food Bank, said Taggart.
Draegers is located at 222 E.
Fourth Ave., San Mateo. For more

Letters to the editor

T
he final environmental impact
report for the proposed Transit
Village in San Carlos is under
review by the Planning Commission. Its a
step along the way to whatever the ultimate
outcome for the project will be. But it also
marks a missed opportunity. And thats too
bad.
Californias environmental impact review
process identifies a projects environmental
impacts and aims to give decision makers as
much objective information as possible on
their nature and magnitude. It isnt a go/no
go document, because a city council can
approve projects with significant negative
impacts. That happened with the San Carlos
grade separation project. But by painting a
more complete picture of a projects envi-
ronmental footprint, EIRs hopefully lead to
better projects and better decisions.
But theres another type of valuable infor-
mation which the EIR process surfaces that
has nothing to do with what ends up in the
report. Thats the reaction of the residents
and businesses that will be affected by the
project. The EIR process, by design,
involves a lot of public participation. Even
when feedback isnt about an environmental
issue, it can still be
important.
The Transit Village
project provoked, and
continues to provoke, a
tremendous outpouring
of concern by our east
side residents. At the
recent Planning
Commission meeting on
the EIR, the council chamber was filled
with red-shirted opponents. On a beautiful
summer evening in the middle of the vaca-
tion season.
One would think the projects sponsors
would want to address this negative energy
quickly and decisively. So far as I can tell,
there has been little if any significant dia-
logue with the residents. Yes, there have
been meetings, mostly a while ago. Yes,
everyone wants to try and find a solution.
Yes, there are reasons why more hasnt been
done.
But in the end, thats all irrelevant.
Residents concerns need to be addressed by
the projects sponsors. That could be
through education, adjustments to the proj-
ect, neighborhood improvements not direct-
ly associated with the project, or something
else. While some of this has happened, most
of what has occurred has taken place off
stage, and not been pitched to the residents
through community meetings.
Consequently, it hasnt altered their overall
reaction to any significant degree.
Whats particularly odd about this situa-
tion is that it isnt the first big contentious
project in San Carlos, or even the first one
that significantly concerns east side resi-
dents. The Hacienda and Palo Alto Medical
Foundation projects showed the importance
of focused dialogue between developers and
residents. It isnt clear to me why those les-
sons arent being applied to the Transit
Village.
No ones interest is served when tensions
around a project ratchet upwards unchecked.
Lets hope a change of approach occurs
soon.

Oui to animal
welfare, non to foie gras
Editor,
California isnt the only place looking out
for the welfare of ducks and geese. The
Compass Group, a British company that
caters events such as Wimbledon, has decid-
ed it will no longer serve foie gras due to
ethical concerns.
Its an important reminder that Californias
foie gras ban was the right thing to do, even
as chefs and restaurants look for sneaky
loopholes to continue serving diseased livers
to diners. Birds force-fed for foie gras have
up to four pounds of grain and fat pumped
into their stomachs through metal pipes every
day. The pipes sometimes puncture the birds
throats, and the force-feeding process causes
their livers to balloon to as much as 10 times
their natural size, sometimes causing their
livers to burst. It is common for birds who
have been force-fed to suffer from hepatic
encephalopathy, a serious brain ailment that
occurs when their livers fail. This seems radi-
cal for a moment of gustatory sensation.
Hopefully other businesses and states will
also nd their moral compass and agree that
it is better to have a big heart for animals
welfare than to dine on their engorged livers,
especially when chefs are capable of creating
so many other wonderful options.

Bizarro Robin Hood
Editor,
If Robin Hood is someone who takes
money from the rich and gives it to the
poor, then bizarro Robin Hood is someone
who takes it from the poor and gives it to
the rich. Both Republicans and Democrats
compete to be the best bizarro Robin Hood
there is. Although the rich can count on the
loyalty of the Republicans, they view the
Democrats with suspicion.
Privatizing the public resources and serv-
ice providing sectors is a way of transfer-
ring the wealth to the rich. Education has
become one such wealth transferring means
in recent years. A recent report indicates
that for-profit institutions such as the
University of Phoenix, Heald College, etc,
are more concerned about making profit
than about providing education (Most for-
profit colleges lose state grants article in
the Aug. 1 edition of the Daily Journal).
The students who are admitted to these
institutions pay the tuition fee either from
their pocket or from the financial aid they
receive from the government. Either way,
money gets transferred to these institutions.
However, according to published reports,
less than 30 percent of the students admit-
ted to these institutions actually graduate.
Thus, these for-profit institutions, in a way,
use these students to help transfer taxpayer
money to the rich investors of these institu-
tions.
Some states refused to provide financial
aid to students admitted in these for-profit
institutions, while others such as California,
thanks to our Gov. Jerry Brown, imposed a
stricter rule to stop this tax-payer money
transfer. An estimated $55 million could be
saved as a result. The money saved, thus,
may be insignificant. However, the inten-
tion ought to please even the conservatives.

Voter ID
Editor,
Why is the Obama administration now
suing every state trying to require folks to
have proper identification when they vote?
In many places in America, you have to
show an ID to buy a cigarette lighter, a
Greyhound bus ticket, heck, even a can of
Drano! Could it be that Team Obama wants
to swindle an election with illegal votes? In
November, voters face not only a choice of
candidates but also a stark choice of values:
Do we want to be America, or do we want
to become Chicago?

Faculty leads
the way on
CSU salaries
Santa Rosa Press-Democrat
W
ebsters defines leading as
showing the way or directing
the course of action. You might
include this definition: setting an example.
Most people expect to find leadership at
the top of an organization, especially a
major university.
But in the California State University
system, the nations largest, its the faculty
leading by example rather than the admin-
istrators and political appointees who man-
age the 23-campus system.
This past week, the California Faculty
Association agreed to a four-year contract,
averting a possible strike this fall. The
agreement includes no across-the-board
pay raises and leaves open the prospect of
future pay cuts for 23,000 professors, lec-
turers, librarians and coaches represented
by the union.
CSU faculty members already have gone
without raises for five years. The same
cannot be said for campus presidents and
other administrators.
Over the past 18 months, CSU trustees
have boosted presidential salaries as much
as $100,000 a year, pushing base pay
beyond $300,000 a year for incoming chief
executives. At San Diego State University,
a new president is being paid $400,000 a
year.
Some other administrators also received
raises while the faculty has gone without.
Student fees, meanwhile, have tripled since
2001-02, with yet another increase taking
effect this fall. And class offerings have
been reduced because of budget cuts, leav-
ing thousands of students unable to com-
plete their degrees in the traditional four
years. Only 15 percent graduate in four
years, according to the latest state figures.
University officials say the generous pay
and benefit packages are necessary to
attract and retain top talent. We cant imag-
ine what the tuition increases would have
been if they had the same attitude about
attracting and retaining faculty members
and other non-management employees.
Faced with calls to freeze pay for cam-
pus presidents, the trustees voted last
month to limit raises to 10 percent and
decreed that money for higher salaries will
come from foundations formed to raise
money for university programs. Three pres-
idents got raises under those terms, and the
trustees are looking to fill several other
vacancies, including a new chancellor.
Weve called for pay freezes and even
pay reductions to help preserve public
services, including class offerings for uni-
versity students. And weve been critical at
times of unions representing public
employees.
In this instance, however, CSU employ-
ees have reason to feel slighted, so all the
more credit is due them for accepting a
contract that will continue to erode their
personal finances. We are disappointed
we were not able to get a raise, but that
wasnt in the cards, said Lillian Taz, the
president of the California Faculty
Association.
When the faculty staged a one-day strike
last year, we said the professors made a
legitimate point about the universitys
skewed priorities. Students are sacrificing,
so is the faculty. Top administrators must
sacrifice, too.
Double-digit pay raises are no sacrifice.
Its time for CSUs top officials to follow
the lead of their underlings. The pay raises
should be halted at least until CSU meets
the chancellors decidedly modest goal of
raising the four-year graduation rate by 8
percent.

NEW YORK The market had a
wishy-washy Friday, capping an equally
directionless week.
Stocks inched down for most of the
day. Then, with 45 minutes of trading
left, the Dow Jones industrial average
turned positive. The Standard & Poors
500 and the Nasdaq composite soon fol-
lowed. All ended the day slightly higher.
In a week with no major developments
in Europes debt crisis, and no surprising
reports on the U.S. economy, the market
struggled to gure out which way to go.
The three indexes rose incrementally on
Monday and Tuesday and were mixed on
Wednesday and Thursday.
In a market that has grown used to
triple-digit swings on the Dow, this week
brought none the rst time since early
May that thats happened. It was a
marked change from the same week a
year ago. Back then, the Dow swung by
triple digits every day, including one
plunge of 634 points, after a downgrade
of the U.S. debt rating. This week, the
biggest move was a measly 51-point rise
on Tuesday.
With many money managers on vaca-
tion, trading volume was low. The
sound of silence is how Bank of
America Merrill Lynch economist Ethan
Harris labeled a note to clients Friday.
Sure, there were piecemeal signs
about the world economy for anyone
who was looking. But they were less
than decisive.
The second-quarter earnings season
continued to wind down calmly, with
most companies coming in ahead of
profit predictions. But China reported a
troubling slowdown in its export
growth. And the so-called fiscal cliff of
2013, when government spending cuts
and higher taxes kick in, looms larger
now that earnings season is out of the
way.
There are three big elephants in the
room, said Marty Leclerc, chief invest-
ment ofcer of Barrack Yard Advisors in
Bryn Mawr, Penn. A slowdown in Asia
growth, the European crisis ... and the
U.S. scal cliff.
To be sure, stocks have risen fairly
steadily since the U.S. debt downgrade
last August. Compared to a year ago, the
Dow Jones industrial average is up 23
percent.
Friday, the Dow ended up 42.76 points
at 13,207.95. The S&P 500 rose 3.07 to
1,405.87. The Nasdaq composite rose
2.22 to 3,020.86.
But the stock markets relative good
cheer doesnt necessarily mean the
underlying economy is improving.

NEW YORK The Federal Trade
Commission voted Friday to finalize its
settlement with Facebook, resolving
charges that the social network exposed
details about users lives without get-
ting the required legal consent.
Facebook Inc. agreed to submit to
government audits of its privacy prac-
tices every other year for the next two
decades. The company also committed
to getting explicit approval from users
before changing the types of content it
makes public.
The settlement, announced in
November, is similar to agreements the
FTC reached separately with Google
Inc. and Myspace.
The FTC approved the settlement
Friday after a public comment period. It
came a day after the FTC fined Google
$22.5 million to resolve allegations that
Google didnt comply with the earlier
settlement.
Facebook didnt admit any wrongdo-
ing in the settlement, though CEO
Mark Zuckerberg conceded in
November that the company had made
high-profile mistakes on privacy over
the years.
Both Facebook and Google have vast
amounts of data on their users
Facebook through the things people
share on the site, and Google through
the searches and other things people do.
Such information is valuable because it
can be used to improve the lucrative tar-
geted advertising pitches that both com-
panies aim at users.

NEW YORK As energy drinks con-
tinue to surge in popularity, the disclo-
sure by Monster Beverage Corp. that its
being investigated is the latest signal that
the high-octane industry is coming
under sharper scrutiny.
The Corona, Calif.-based company
said in a ling with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission on Thursday
that it received a subpoena last month
from an unidentied state attorney gen-
erals ofce concerning the advertising
and ingredients of its energy drinks.
The disclosure comes at a time when
concerns over energy drinks have inten-
sied.
Energy drinks remain a tiny part of the
carbonated soft drinks market, repre-
senting just 3.3 percent of sales volume,
according to the industry tracker
Beverage Digest. But while soda con-
sumption has agged in recent years,
energy drinks are growing by leaps and
bounds.
Last year, sales volume for energy
drinks rose by nearly 17 percent, with
the top three companies Monster, Red
Bull and Rockstar each logging dou-
ble-digit gains, according to Beverage
Digest. The drinks are often marketed at
sporting events such as surfing and
skateboarding, popular among younger
people.
The levels of caffeine in the drinks
have raised worries. Although the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration caps the
amount of caffeine in soda to 0.02 per-
cent, there is no such limit for energy
drinks.
The FDA could easily say energy
drinks are soft drinks, said Michael
Jacobson, executive director of the
Center for Science in the Public Interest,
which advocates for food safety. But he
noted that the FDA cap was established
about 60 years ago, long before energy
drinks came to the market.

LOS ANGELES Google Inc. is
altering its search results to de-emphasize
the websites of repeat copyright offenders
and make it easier to nd legitimate
providers of music, movies and other
content.
The move is a peace offering to
Hollywood and the music recording
labels. This year, Google joined other
Silicon Valley heavyweights to help kill
legislation that would have given govern-
ment and content creators more power to
shut down foreign websites that promote
piracy.
The Motion Picture Association of
America issued a lukewarm response,
saying it was optimistic the change
would help steer consumers away from
piracy.
We will be watching this development
closely the devil is always in the
details, MPAA senior executive presi-
dent Michael OLeary said in a statement.
Next week, Google will start using
valid copyright removal notices to rank
its search results, according to a Friday
blog post by Googles senior vice presi-
dent of engineering, Amit Singhal.
Google typically ranks websites based
on how many other sites link to them, on
the belief that sites that get more links are
more trustworthy and useful. But Google
also regularly tweaks its formulas to
reect special circumstances.

With only 11 games remaining on
their Major League Soccer regular
season schedule, everyone in the
Western Conference is looking up at
the San Jose Earthquakes.
So if were to trace back through
the rst 23 and see what the differ-
ence has been
this season for
the Quakes,
theres only one
name that will
show up on early
game recaps:
Justin Morrow.
The die-hard
San Jose fans
knew about
Morrow before his now breakout
2012 season up until now, the
defender had been more like a roster
patch. But now as the Quakes head
into a showdown with the third place
Seattle Sounders, Morrow is an
Earthquakes staple.
Id denitely say Ive met my
expectations, Morrow said. I think
everyone whos on the team expects
that they want to play. I didnt have
clear expectations like, I need to have
this amount of playing time or Im
going to be disappointed. I knew I
was going to play at some point dur-
ing the season. I just wanted to make
sure when I came into the season I
was ready to showcase how far Ive
come, how much Ive developed.
The San Jose coaching staff has
noticed, all right. Morrow is the only
Earthquake to start in all 23 games.
He leads the team in minutes played
with 2070 compare that to a 2011
season when he started only nine and
was on the eld for 810 minutes. Hes
also tallied two assists and found the
back of the net once.

LONDON A year ago, Jordan
Burroughs changed his Twitter handle
to (at)alliseeisgold.
On Thursday, Burroughs promised
to tweet a picture of himself holding
the Olympic gold medal. He delivered
on Friday night on the mat and on
Twitter.
The boastful 24-year-old American
backed up all his talk, beating Irans
Sadegh Saeed Goudarzi 1-0, 1-0 in the
mens freestyle 74-kilogram division
to give the U.S. its rst wrestling gold
medal at the London Games.
A lot of people call it cocky, people
call it over condent, Burroughs said.
But I knew I was going to win.
Burroughs beat Denis Tsargush of
Russia in a tight seminal, then got
past Goudarzi in a rematch of their
world championship bout in 2011.
Burroughs, who grew up in New
Jersey, has won 38 straight internation-
al freestyle matches and is the rst
Olympian to claim the $250,000 prize
from the Living the Dream Medal
Fund, a program designed to support
U.S. wrestling.
An hour after beating Goudarzi, the
tweet-happy Burroughs made good on
his word, posting a shot of himself
beaming beside his gold.
He wont have to change that boast-
ful handle either at least not until the
2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.
Its easy to be condent when you
put the hard work in that I do,
Burroughs said.
Also, Dzhamal Otarsultanov took
the mens 55-kg freestyle category,
beating Vladimer Khinchegashvili of
Georgia to give the Russians four
wrestling golds at the London Games,
tops for any nation.
Burroughs woke up tight on Friday,
not surprising considering the expecta-
tions he put on himself. He got over his
nerves and beat his two biggest rivals
for the title.
Burroughs won his rst two matches
to set up a rematch with Tsargush, a
two-time world champion that the U.S.
star beat in the 2011 world champi-
onships en route to the title.
It turned out to be the most gripping
match of the Olympic tournament so
far.
Burroughs owned the rst period.
But Tsargush scored on a takedown in
the second and kept himself alive to set
up a thrilling nal frame.
Burroughs and Tsargush circled the
mat cautiously for about 90 seconds
before Burroughs one of the quick-
est wrestlers in the world launched
himself at Tsargushs legs for a take-
down.
Burroughs opened the scoring in the
nal when he notched a double-leg
takedown of Goudarzi with just nine
seconds left in the rst period. He
clinched the nal with a similar move
late in the second.
The gold brought a deep sense of
relief for the medal-starved Americans.
The U.S. entered Friday with just
one medal; a bronze won by womens
freestyler Clarissa Chun. Burroughs
was by far the best hope the U.S. had
for a gold, and the fear was that if he
fell short the Americans would go
home without one.
No worries.

SAN FRANCISCO Alex Smith and the
San Francisco 49ers picked up right where
they left off last season in their preseason
opener.
Smith tossed a 4-yard touchdown pass to
Brett Swain on the opening possession, back-
up Colin Kaepernick ran 78 yards for a score
on the next and the 49ers breezed past the
Minnesota Vikings 17-6 Friday night.
Brandon Jacobs, Kendall Hunter and Rock
Cartwright combined for 69 yards rushing on
the rst drive to lead a reloaded running back
group for San Francisco (No. 4 in the AP
Pro32 rankings) on a night three-time Pro
Bowler Frank Gore rested.
Christian Ponder completed 4 of 9 passes
for 80 yards, and Toby Gerhart ran for 31
yards for Minnesota (No. 29) in place of
rehabbing starter Adrian Peterson. The
Vikings offense showed promise everywhere
but in the end zone, settling for eld goals of
39 and 26 yards by new
kicker Blair Walsh in
Candlestick Parks whip-
ping winds.
Randy Moss made his
49ers debut after sitting out
last season, though it was
hard to notice. The 35-
year-old wide receiver,
who signed a one-year
deal with San Francisco,
was never targeted.
In the rst game at Candlestick since the
overtime loss in the NFC championship to the
New York Giants on Jan. 22, Jim Harbaughs
new-look 49ers hardly had a hangover.
Jacobs, who signed a one-year deal with
San Francisco after winning his second Super
Bowl with New York, showed his strength in
short-yardage situations a missing element
Good start to 2012 season
SANTA CLARA The 49ers appear to have
reached a deal over $30 million in tax funding
for their new stadium in Santa Clara that was
unexpectedly yanked by county ofcials in June.
The Santa Clara County ofcials said they
wanted to spend the money on schools and were
empowered to swap the funding under changes
in state law after Gov. Jerry Brown disbanded
development agencies.
Under a deal reached Thursday, the Santa
Clara Unied School District and other agencies
will get about half of the money they wanted,
The San Jose Mercury News reported. The
school district will then be able to balance its
budget to avoid teacher layoffs, according to the
newspaper.
The 49ers, meanwhile, will get the full $30
million, although not as quickly as they had
hoped. The money is a small fraction of the total
$1.2 billion stadium cost.
The Mercury News reported that the settle-
ment must still be approved by county ofcials
and a judge overseeing a lawsuit led by the
49ers in response to the countys decision. But
the newspaper reported that construction, which
began in April, can now proceed at full speed.
Santa Clara Mayor Jamie Matthew, who had
supported the stadium funding, said the settle-
ment was pushed by the judges comments that
he would rule in favor of returning funds to the
stadium.

CHICAGO Jordan Danks hit his rst
major league homer in the bottom of the ninth
inning and the Chicago White Sox overcame a
three-run decit to beat the Oakland Athletics
4-3 on Friday night.
With two outs in the ninth, Danks sent the
rst pitch he saw from Pat Neshek (1-1) deep
into the right-eld seats for Chicagos fourth
solo shot of the game. Dayan Viciedo, A.J.
Pierzynski and Alexei Ramirez also connected.
Brett Myers (1-1) pitched a scoreless inning
to help the AL Central leaders win for the 11th
time in 16 games. Viciedo tied it at 3 with his
homer in the seventh, snapping a 5-for-43
slide.
Before the game, the White Sox placed slug-
ger Paul Konerko on the seven-day concussion
disabled list. The rst baseman took an elbow
to the right temple area Tuesday on a close
play at rst and is eligible to return Aug. 17.
Josh Reddick homered and drove in all three
runs for Oakland.
Brandon McCarthy came off the disabled
list to make his rst start for the As since June
19. He had been sidelined with a strained
shoulder.
The right-hander was staked to an early 3-0
lead but couldnt hold it, allowing a season-
high three home runs.
Pierzynski extended his career high with his
22nd homer in the second and Ramirez hit a
hanging curve out to left in the fourth, his fth
of the year.
McCarthy, who broke into the majors with
the White Sox in 2005, was chased by
Viciedos drive. He went six-plus innings,
allowing three runs and six hits.
Reddick provided the big early blow for
Oakland. After Chris Carters ground-rule
double leading off the second, Reddick hit a
towering home run down the right-eld line
off starter Gavin Floyd to give the Athletics a
3-0 cushion.
As lose in bottom of ninth
SAN FRANCISCO Tyler Chatwood com-
bined with three relievers on a three-hitter and
the Colorado Rockies beat the San Francisco
Giants 3-0 Friday night.
Wilin Rosario doubled twice and scored a run
while Tyler Colvin added two hits and an RBI
for Colorado.
The Rockies, swept at home by the Giants a
week ago, scored all their runs off Tim
Lincecum. The two-time NL Cy Young Award
winner had allowed only two runs in his previ-
ous two starts.
San Francisco fell into a tie with the Los
Angeles Dodgers for rst place in the NLWest.
Chatwood (2-2) scattered three hits over ve
innings in his second start this season. The
right-hander, who began the season in the
bullpen, had two strikeouts and two walks.
It was the third shutout by Rockies pitchers
this season.
San Francisco hasnt scored in its last 14
innings at home and was shut out for the fth
time this season sixth overall at its water-

Adam Ottavino pitched two innings, Matt

LONDON Dwight Howard held some of
the championship trophies in the Los Angeles
Lakers facility Friday, the rst act of the next
phase of his NBAcareer.
Making some wishes, Howard said.
One of his wishes has nally come true. At long
last, hes out of Orlando.
It took four teams, 11 other players, ve draft
picks and countless rounds of talks over many
months, but the Orlando
Magic decided the time was
right to start over without the
NBAs best center and end a
saga that has dogged the
franchise for what seems
like an eternity.
Howard is off to play
alongside Kobe Bryant in
Los Angeles, after a
megadeal involving the
Lakers, Magic, Philadelphia and Denver was
worked out Thursday and completed Friday after
the NBAreviewed and approved the particulars.
It was just a very tough situation for every-
body to let go, Howard said. Im nally glad
that its over with. Myself and the Magic organi-
zation, we can all start over and begin a new
career. Today is a fresh new start for all of us.
As far as the other headliners involved, Andrew
Bynum leaves the Lakers for Philadelphia and
Andre Iguodala is heading to Denver.
Are we taking a step back? Absolutely, we
are, Magic general manager Rob Hennigan said.
But were taking a step back with a vision.
Even while otherwise busy at the London
Olympics, Bryant quickly proclaimed that the
Lakers are locked and loaded to bring back the
title. He spoke with Howard on Friday morning,
and interrupted his pursuit of a gold medal the
Americans will play for another of those Sunday
to talk about how the Lakers look very much
like a major contender for another NBAtitle.
Ill probably play two or three more years.
Then the team is his, Bryant said. Im excited
for the franchise because now they have a player
that can carry the franchise well after Im gone.
This should be his and he should want to accept
that challenge.
Time will tell.
Howard, who may not be ready for the start of
the season while continuing to recover from back
surgery that he had performed in Los Angeles
four months ago, plans to become a free agent
next July. He could stay with the Lakers. He could
end up in Dallas, which should have oodles of cap
space. Maybe the Brooklyn Nets one of
Howards preferred destinations throughout this
saga nd a way into the mix again.

DENVER Still smarting over
his UFC title bout loss to Benson
Henderson in a close but unanimous
decision, Frankie Edgar has prepared
furiously for Saturdays rematch at
the Pepsi Center and the chance to
reclaim the lightweight champi-
onship belt that
he still considers
rightfully his.
I thought I
did enough to
win, Edgar said
of his ght last
February with
Henderson in
Japan. But I
dont really want
to dwell on it
now that were
here.
I was fortu-
nate that it was
close enough to
get me a
rematch. This is
like a chance for
redemption for
me, righting a
wrong. It didnt
go my way last
time, so Ive got to make sure it goes
my way on Saturday, said Edgar,
who ghts out of Toms River, N.J.
Henderson, 28, meets Edgar, 30,
again in his rst defense of his UFC
lightweight title in the ve-round fea-
tured match on Saturday nights card.
In another closely watched match
that could produce a future chal-
lenger to the winner of the headline
event, Donald Cerrone, 29, back in
his hometown of Denver, will take on
Melvin Guillard, 29, in a three-round
lightweight bout.
Edgar made three successful
defenses of the championship belt he
had earned two years ago before his
Feb. 26 loss to Henderson.
Both ghters have spent the past
several weeks training in the Denver
area to get used to the citys mile-
high elevation.
The training has been phenome-
nal. Ive had one of my best camps,
Edgar said. I came out here early to
get acclimated to the elevation. I
think Ive done everything in my
power to make sure my hand gets
raised on Saturday.
Henderson, who ghts out of
Glendale, Ariz., but is a native of
Colorado Springs, Colo., also moved
his training to the Denver area to
complete his ght preparations.
I know what this air can do to
your lungs, Henderson said. You
have to take this seriously. Ive been
here for three weeks already.
Henderson said hes well aware
that Edgar is coming in with a chip on
his shoulder, continuing to harbor the
belief that he was shortchanged by
the decision in their previous
encounter. Henderson said hes cer-
tain the right call was made, a point
he plans to drive home in the
rematch.

LONDON Eyeing the trackside
clock as she approached the nish line,
Carmelita Jeter pointed the black baton
in her left hand at those bright orange
numbers.
She wanted to make sure everyone
saw what she saw: The United States
was breaking the world record in the
womens 4x100-meter relay and it
wasnt even close.
Allyson Felix, Tianna Madison and
Bianca Knight built a big lead, and Jeter
brought it home Friday night, anchor-
ing the U.S. to its rst Olympic gold
medal in the sprint relay since 1996
with a time of 40.82, more than a half-
second better than a record that had
stood for 27 years.
As Im running, Im looking at the
clock and seeing this time thats like 37,
38, 39. In my heart, I said, We just did
it! I denitely knew we ran well, Jeter
said. When I crossed the nish line, I
had so many emotions because we
havent been able to get the gold medal
back to the U.S.
Felix collected her second gold of the
London Games, along with the one she
won in the 200 meters, while Jeter com-
pleted a set, adding to her silver in the
100 and bronze in the 200.
I just knew if we had clean baton
passes that we would denitely chal-
lenge the world record. Smash it like
we did? We had no idea, Madison said,
but I knew it was in us.
The American quartet erased the old
mark of 41.37 run by East Germany in
1985.
Jamaica won the silver medal in a
national record of 41.41 seconds, with a
team of 100 champion Shelly-Ann
Fraser-Pryce, 100 bronze medalist
Veronica Campbell-Brown, Sherone
Simpson and Kerron Stewart.
The bronze went to the Ukraine in
42.04.
With Knight approaching for the
nal handoff, Jeter took nine strides,
reached her hand back and took a per-
fect exchange. Jeter was staring at the
clock as she covered the nal 10 meters
and she jutted the stick in that direc-
tion.
Afterward, the quartet of champions
paused to watch a replay of their record
performance on the scoreboard at
80,000-seat Olympic Stadium. When
Jeter was shown crossing the nish line,
Knight punched the air.
The perfect trip around the track
ended a string of disappointments for
the U.S. in the event.
In Athens eight years ago, Lauryn
Williams was involved in a bad
exchange in the nal, leaving her team
without a medal. In Beijing four years
ago, the Americans didnt even reach
the nal because Torri Edwards and
Williams bobbled the last exchange in
the seminals. That marked the rst
time since 1948 that the U.S. wasnt
involved in the womens 4x100 medal
race at the Summer Games.
U.S. women race to new record
LONDON When it comes to the
4x400-meter Olympic relay, the
American men arent used to being
overtaken at the end, the way Angelo
Taylor was Friday night.
Then again, they have never really
run that race under these circumstances.
The day after Manteo Mitchell n-
ished out his preliminary lap on a bro-
ken leg, the banged-up U.S. team made
sure he would get something as a
reward. But it was a silver medal, not
gold. Taylor got passed by Ramon
Miller of the Bahamas on the nal lap
marking the rst Olympic mens
gold medal in any sport for that island
country and the rst American loss in
that race at the Olympics since 1972.
Instead of complaining about the
color of their medal, the Americans cel-
ebrated their teammates courage.
Without him, this wouldnt be pos-
sible, said Tony McQuay, Mitchells
roommate in the athletes village. He
held it down for the USA. Sorry we
couldnt give him the gold. But we
want to thank him for getting us to the
nal.
The Bahamas won in 2 minutes,
56.72 seconds, .33 ahead of the U.S.
Trinidad and Tobago nished third and
the South African team, anchored by
double amputee Blade Runner Oscar
Pistorius, fell behind well before
Pistorius received the baton and n-
ished last.
Mitchell joined the last two Olympic
400-meter champions, Jeremy Wariner
and Lashawn Merritt, on the sideline
with injuries.
That juggled the lineup and left
Taylor, a 33-year-old with two Olympic
golds in hurdles, to run the anchor leg.
He couldnt hold off Miller, who closed
out the race with a lap of 44.1 seconds
to make history in the Bahamas.
Bahama runs down U.S. in mens 400
As it turned out, they should have just listened
to Burroughs all along.
He can be the face of American wrestling,
U.S. freestyle coach Zeke Jones said. Hes put
himself in a position to become one of the great-
est wrestlers ever.
Otarsultanov, who beat Russian star Viktor
Lebedev for his countrys spot at 55 kgs, earned
his rst Olympic gold by downing the 21-year-
old Khinchegashvili 1-0, 4-3.
I felt responsible. My family and country were
waiting for me to perform, Otarsultanov said.
Otarsultanov won the rst period by scoring
from offense on a tiebreaking clinch.
Otarsultanov tied it at 3 late in the second, and
because he had scored the last point he was in
position for victory when Khinchegashvili drove
him to the mat as time expired.
Nothing was called even as the Georgia
camp insisted Khinchegashvili had exposed the
Russians back for two points.

GOLD
LONDON Brazil hasnt been this close to
the gold medal in mens soccer since Romario
was a promising young star in the late 1980s.
Many great players have tried and failed after
him, including Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos,
Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.
Now it will be up to Neymar, the future of
Brazilian soccer, to end decades of frustration
and give the nation its rst Olympic gold, the
only trophy missing for the ve-time World Cup
champions.
Brazil is the favorite in Saturdays nal at
Wembley Stadium against Mexico, a team which
will also be looking for its rst Olympic gold.
Its our third chance to win this gold and
hopefully we will learn the lessons from the
other nals we played and didnt win, Brazil
coach Mano Menezes said.
Anything but the gold will
be considered a failure for
Brazil, which established
the London Games as the
teams priority this year and
brought most of its top play-
ers for the competition.
The Olympics are also an
important test for the play-
ers, most of them who will
also likely be in the team
trying to help Brazil win next years
Confederations Cup and the 2014 World Cup at
home.
Brazil is playing in the Olympic nal for the
rst time since the 1988 Games, when the team
led by Romario and Bebeto lost 2-1 to the then
Soviet Union. Brazil also lost the nal four years
earlier in Los Angeles.
Bebeto, Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Roberto Carlos
got the bronze at the 1996 Atlanta Games, and
Ronaldinho also nished third with Brazil four
years ago in Beijing, when the team lost to
Argentina in the seminals. Ronaldinho also was
in the team eliminated by Cameroon in the quar-
ternals of the 2000 Sydney Games. Brazil did-
nt qualify for Athens in 2004.
Coaches who tried and never got the gold
include Mario Zagallo in 1996, Vanderlei
Luxemburgo in 2000 and Dunga in 2008.
The man carrying the teams expectations this
time is 20-year-old Neymar, Brazils most
talked-about player in years, touted by some to
potentially become the worlds best player.
We came here for the gold and we are one
match away from getting it, said Neymar, who
has been playing up to expectations so far with
three goals and several assists in the teams ve
victories. We just have to do our job in the
nal.
But Brazil will be facing an opponent which
has been creating problems in recent years.
Mexico has won six of the last 12 matches
against the Brazilians since 1999, including that
years Confederations Cup nal. It lost only four
of those games and drew two.
The Mexicans won the last time the teams
played, a warmup for the Olympics just a few
months ago in the United States. Mexico won 2-
0 in a match in which both teams played with
many of the players who made it to the London
Games.
But Mexicos task to win its rst gold got a bit
harder when forward Giovani Dos Santos was
ruled out of the nal because of a right hamstring
injury. The son of a former Brazilian player, Dos
Santos will be replaced by Marco Fabian.
Its sad, Mexico playmaker Miguel Ponce
said, but even if he cant be there, we are going
to play the match for him and the country.
Brazil looks to add soccer gold to resume
Neymar
LONDON LeBron James turned away from
his teammates gathered in the center circle and
waved to the fans as if to say: See you Sunday.
Right where the U.S. mens Olympic basket-
ball team always expected to be, in the gold medal
game, against the opponent it gured to see again.
Anything less than this would have been
unsatisfying for us, Carmelo Anthony said. We
believe that we could get here, and were here
now. We got one game left.
Kevin Durant scored 19 points, James and
Anthony added 18 apiece, and the U.S. turned on
its slamming-and-shooting spectacle in the sec-
ond half to overwhelm Argentina for the second
time in ve days, 109-83, in the seminals Friday
night.
The U.S. will play Spain on Sunday, a rematch
of the Americans victory four years ago for the
gold medal in Beijing.
I think its only right, James said. Everyone
said that this is the game they wanted to see. We
look forward to it. Were happy as a team were
able to be back in this position. Weve got to
defend, weve got to rebound, weve got to share
the ball.
Ita daunting challenge for Spain.
The Americans have said they believe this team
is better than the 08 gold medalists, and they are
certainly more potent with a chance to end up
outscoring the original Dream Team in 1992.
They have breezed through the London Games,
winning by an average of 36 points.
You have three scorers on this team who get
blistering hot if they make two shots in a row,
said Kobe Bryant, playing in his second
Olympics. Ive never seen anything like it.
Spain cant afford many mistakes.
Theyve got to play almost a perfect game and
theyve got to force them to play 5-on-5 and not
let them run, said Argentine star Manu Ginobili,
who scored 18 points and now will play Russia
for the bronze medal on Sunday. But yeah, yeah,
they can be beat. Its not easy. The odds are not
with Spain, but, of course, if you play your best
game and theyre not very inspired, youve got a
shot.
Argentina, playing the U.S. in the seminals
for the third straight Olympics, hung around until
early in the second half, just as it did Monday in
the nal game of pool play.
And just like that night, the Americans hit them
with a wave of dunks and 3-pointers in the third
quarter that turned it into a romp.
While not quite as explosive as their 42-17 peri-
od in Mondays 126-97 win, this one had just as
many highlights.
Ahead by only four after Ginobili opened the
third quarter with a 3-pointer, the Americans
pulled away with James strength and Durants
shot.
We had a great run in the rst half, Ginobili
said. We started the third very well. And then we
blinked.
It became a runaway in the fourth when
Anthony hit three 3-pointers in 42 seconds, the
American bench spilling onto the oor as he strut-
ted back to midcourt after the last one made it 93-
64.
The U.S. beat Spain 118-107 in the Beijing
nal, pulling away after leading by just four with
about 2 1/2 minutes left. The Spanish are ranked
second in the world behind the Americans, and
have much more size with brothers Pau and Marc
Gasol.
Well have a difcult challenge with Spain
because theyre really big. But theyll have a chal-
lenge with us, too, U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski
said.
Bryant nished with 13 points, hours after see-
ing his chances strengthen for another title with
the Los Angeles Lakers.

LONDON With a surge of medals in track and eld,
the United States has sprinted ahead of China and is poised
to nish atop the medals table at the London Olympics
maybe with the most golds ever collected by the Americans
on foreign soil.
Heading into the nal weekend of competition, the U.S.
leads both the gold and overall medals races after trailing
the Chinese most of the games.
The Americans pulled further ahead Friday. At the end of
the days events, the U.S. led China 94 to 81 in total medals
and 41 to 37 in golds.
Bill Mallon, a veteran American medals prognosticator,
believes the U.S. will win the overall race by 12 to 15
medals and the gold count by three to ve.
Four more golds would equal the highest U.S. total on for-
eign territory in Olympic history 45 at both the 1968
Mexico City Games and the 1924 Paris Games.
The gold haul in London is already the best for the United
States since it won 44 in 1996 in Atlanta. Its highest gold
count was 83 at the 1984 Los Angeles Games, which were
boycotted by the Soviet Union.
The late U.S. charge in London has been spurred by the
track and eld team, with 26 medals, including eight golds,
through Friday.
The Americans picked up four medals Thursday night
with 1-2 nishes by Ashton Eaton and Trey Hardee in the
decathlon and by Christian Taylor and Will Claye in the
triple jump. They grabbed two more Friday night gold in
the womens 4x100-meter relay and silver in the mens
4x400 relay.
Away from the track, wrestler Jordan Burroughs won gold
in the mens 74-kilogram freestyle.
The success could validate the projection of 30 medals by
USA Track & Field, the national governing body for the
sport, which had been widely maligned as too ambitious.
With two more relays and a few other chances coming up,
the United States could exceed 30 medals even after
being shut out in the mens 200 and 400 meters, two events
where the Americans usually excel.
A lot of people thought 30 medals was crazy, said Steve
Roush, the U.S. Olympic Committees former chief of
sports performance, who served on USA Track & Fields
Project 30 panel.
He added: It was the big question mark coming in. It
turns out we are going to be right there. If there is a surprise,
its just how well the U.S. has done in track and eld.
Though closely tracked by Olympic teams, fans and the
media, the medals race is an unofcial competition. The
International Olympic Committee doesnt even recognize
the medal count.
The U.S. Olympic Committee has also been reluctant to
talk up the medals chase until the end of the games, any-
way. It stresses that its job is to enable as many Americans
as possible to stand on the podium and represent the coun-
try.
U.S. is poised to

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. The major known as Glorys
Last Shot turned into one last chance for Tiger Woods.
On the toughest scoring day in PGA Championship history,
Woods made putts from one end of Kiawah Island to the other
Friday for a 1-under 71 that gave him a share of the lead with
Vijay Singh and Carl Pettersson going into the weekend.
It was tough out there wow, Woods said.
Wow, indeed.
In a relentless wind that began at sunrise and whipped up the
Atlantic waters with 30 mph gusts, par
never looked better in this championship.
There were more rounds in the 90s two
of them by club pros than in the 60s.
More than 30 players failed to break 80,
including Rickie Fowler, Matt Kuchar and
Hunter Mahan.
Singh, a three-time major champion who
hasnt won in nearly four years, scratched
out ve birdies in a remarkable round of 3-
under 69. Only three other players man-
aged to break par in the second round
Michael Hoey of Northern Ireland at 70, and Woods, Phil
Mickelson and Ian Poulter at 71.
Its the second time this year that Woods has had a share of
the lead in a major going into the weekend. He missed one
chance at Olympic Club in the U.S. Open, when he stumbled
to a 75-73 to tie for 21st. He was in the penultimate group at
the British Open until a triple bogey on the sixth hole of the
nal round took him out of the mix.
One last major, one last shot.
Ive been in this position many times over my career, he
said. Again, were just at the halfway point. We have a long
way to go.
Six players were atop the leaderboard on this day of survival.
Singh was the rst to post at 4-under 140, and it didnt look as
though anyone would be able to even match that as the wind
never let up on The Ocean Course.
Pettersson stayed in the lead as long as he could until a few
errant tee shots cost him at the end of his round and he had to
settle for a 74. Woods, playing on the opposite side of the
course, showed early on that he gured out something with his
putter.
Along with birdie putts of 15 feet and 40 feet on the opening
two holes, there was a collection of big par saves from 20
feet on the third hole, a pair of 8-foot par putts a few holes
later. There were even two short par putts that swirled 360
degrees around the cup and dropped.
The only disappointment was the way it ended. After hook-
ing a tee shot that rattled around the corporate tents and
allowed him a shot into the 18th, he ran his birdie putt about 6
feet by the hole and three-putted for bogey.
It cost him his rst outright lead in a major in three years, but
this was not a day to complain.
It was fun, but it also was tough, Woods said. You were
getting blown all over the place. It was just a very difcult
day.
Poulter was tied for the lead until a bogey on his last hole,
though he showed again that he can thrive in windy, demand-
ing conditions. The last time he was in serious contention at
wind-swept Royal Birkdale in 2008, when he was runner-up to
Padraig Harrington.
The golf shots this golf course asks you to hit time and time
and time and time again ... you really have to hit phenomenal
golf shots, Poulter said. The room for error is so tiny, and
when you get it wrong, you can be 15 feet below the level of
the green in a bad lie with not much of a shot.
The course played so difcult that the afternoon groups were
delayed 20 minutes, and one player failed to nish Joost
Luiten of the Netherlands, who was 1 over for the tournament.
Three share the lead at PGA
BATON ROUGE, La. Heisman Trophy nalist Tyrann
Mathieu was kicked off LSUs football team Friday for breaking an
athletic department rule, a blow to the Tigersnational championship
hopes three weeks before their season opener.
The junior defensive back nicknamed Honey Badger for his
tenacious style, small stature (5-foor-9, 175 pounds) and blonde
streak of hair rose from obscurity to become one of college foot-
balls biggest stars last season.
He was a sleeper Heisman candidate as the Tigers won the
Southeastern Conference championship and reached the BCS title
game. But almost as quickly as Mathieu rose to fame and became the
face of LSU football, the Honey Badger phenomenon ended in
Death Valley.
Coach Les Miles would not specify the reason Mathieu was dis-
missed. His Tigers are still among the favorites to win the national
title this year, even without Mathieu.
Athletic Director Joe Alleva said Mathieu, who was suspended for
a game in 2011 after failing a drug test, violated an athletic depart-
ment rule and had his scholarship revoked.
The Times-Picayune of New Orleans, citing an unidentied per-
son close to the player, reported that Mathieu failed another drug test.
Several high-ranking LSU administrators said they either did not
know which rule Mathieu had violated or refused to discuss the mat-
ter. School policy allows for a player to lose his scholarship even
without another positive test if he does not fulll all the terms of uni-
versity probation.

His initial efforts in 2012 translated into his
rst All-Star selection, where he joined three of
his San Jose teammates.
It was unbelievable, Morrow said about his
time in Philadelphia for the All-Star game. Ive
always said its an honor to represent the
Earthquakes because there are so many guys on
our team that deserved it. For me to be one of
the guys to represent who we are as a team is
incredible. We have a great team. And besides
those guys, there are tons of guys on our team
that deserved it, so I wasnt surprised [to have
so many Quakes on the team].
Morrows play has been invaluable, given his
ability to play center defense or shift to the out-
side.
I think most of my versatility speaks to how
good my teammates are, Morrow said. I think
thats what makes it easy to play different posi-
tions when you have good teammates around
you. For me, that was the most important thing.
I feel like I can always trust my teammates and
I never have to second-guess myself.
The numbers arent supposed to jump off the
screen for a player like Morrow hes a
defender whos biggest stats revolved around
his reliability. But make no mistake about it, the
condence San Jose shows in Morrow playing
on the backline denitely translates to offense.
And with a league-leading 45 team goals, the
Earthquakes are denitely reaping the rewards
of a player like Morrow.
I think its more of a team mentality, he
said. Were all workhorses. I think everyone on
the team has a two-way mentality in that we all
can attack and we know how important it is to
defend. I think thats what really drives us a
team.
I have full faith in all those guys to get the
job done, no matter what. Were going to ght
to the end.
In Seattle, the Quakes face a rival who is
seven points behind them in the standings with
a game to give. And San Jose has demonstrated
this season that theyre not about to look past
any opponent even as the team with the best
record in the conference.
This game is just as important as any game,
Morrow said. We have some pretty high-pro-
le games left. We had a hard test with so many
games in the middle of the season that now,
with having games once a week, we really have
to buckle down and take it one game at a time.
If we can put a string of wins together here and
come out with the Supporters Shield (awarded
to the team with the most regular-season
points), that would be huge.
I think were going to have to be cohesive as
a group and really rely on each other and under-
stand that its going to be a tough game. They
do have great attacking players so were going
to have to give our best.
And just like Morrow, the time to catch oth-
ers by surprised has ceased for San Jose. With
11 games left, Morrow and the Quakes are
looking to make a statement.
If we dont nish in rst now, all the work
weve done during the season is almost for
naught, he said. I think all us feel that way,
that were still not quite respected in this league
and people dont think of us as the best team.
Weve done well, but we still have a lot to
prove.
QUAKES
EARTHQUAKES.COM
San Jose defender Justin Morrow has started all 23 games for the Earthquakes so far this
season and leads the team in minutes played.
for the 49ers last season by running for 3
yards on fourth-and-1 from San Franciscos 47
to extend the opening drive. He added a 23-yard
sprint and nished with 31 yards rushing.
San Francisco also received rushes of 19 yards
by Cartwright and 14 by Hunter to set up
Smiths short fade to Swain that nished off the
rst-teams only possession. The 13-play, 68-
yard drive lasted 6:07 and resembled the kind of
grind-it-out ght that helped the 49ers to a 13-3
regular season last year and the franchises rst
playoff appearance in a decade.
For a team that relied so much on defense a
year ago, the offensive blitz even for the pre-
season could go a long way to lift San
Franciscos spirits.
Kaepernick, the former Nevada quarterback
drafted 36th overall last year, kept a read-option
on his second play from scrimmage for a 78-
yard touchdown, sprinting down the right side
almost uncontested. He stiff-armed cornerback
Chris Cook the nal 20 yards, tossed the ball
when he reached the end zone and ung his arms
wildly in celebration after giving San Francisco
a 14-6 lead. He threw for 40 yards on 5-for-9
passing and had 90 yards rushing.
Not a bad opening act.
The only real hiccup for the 49ers came when
Carlos Rogers bit on an outside fake by Stephen
Burton and thought he had safety help over the
middle on Minnesotas rst possession. Burton
sliced back inside and caught a 52-yard pass
from Ponder to put Minnesota at San Franciscos
24-yard line.
While the Vikings starters moved the ball
often, they never found the end zone.
Gerhart, the 2009 Heisman Trophy runner-up
under Harbaugh at Stanford, carried the bulk of
the offense, including a 16-yard scamper to San
Franciscos 12-yard line. But drives for
Minnesotas regulars ended in eld goals by
Walsh, who is replacing longtime veteran Ryan
Longwell.

MILAN Carlo Rambaldi, a special
effects master and three-time Oscar winner
known as the father of E.T.: The Extra-
Terrestrial, died Friday in southern Italy after
a long illness, Italian news media reported. He
was 86.
Rambaldi won visual effects Oscars for
Steven Spielbergs 1982 blockbuster, Ridley
Scotts film Alien in 1979, and John
Guillermins King Kong in 1976.
Carlo Rambaldi was E.T.s Geppetto, said
Spielberg, referring to the ctional character
who created Pinocchio. All of us who mar-
veled and wondered at his craft and artistry
are deeply saddened by the news of his pass-
ing.
Rambaldi worked on more than 30 lms,
but was best known for his work on E.T., for
which he created three robots, two costumes
worn by actors in the scenes when E.T.
walked, and gloves for the hands.
Rambaldi, a wizard of a discipline known
as mechatronics which combines disci-
plines including mechanical, electronic and
system design engineering did not hide a
disdain for computerized effects.
Digital costs around eight times as much
as mechatronics, Rambaldi was quoted by
the Rome daily La Repubblica as having once
said. E.T. cost a million dollars and we cre-
ated it in three months. If we wanted to do the
same thing with computers, it would take at
least 200 people a minimum of ve months.
Rambaldi was born in 1925 in the northern
Italian region of Emilia-Romagna and gradu-
ated from the Academy of Fine Arts in
Bologna in 1951. While he dreamed of
becoming an artist, he was drawn into the
world of cinema when he was asked to create
a dragon for a low-budget science ction
movie in 1956.
He moved to Rome and found work in tele-
vision before his rst big success, the 1975
Italian horror lm Deep Red. He drew the
attention of Dino De Laurentiis, who brought
him to Hollywood to work on King Kong.
Italian director Pupi Avati described
Rambaldi as a child who loved to play and
make his toys. A child who dreams of making
a theme park of all his characters, the news
agency ANSA reported. The pair worked
together on a 1975 lm.
In those years, Rambaldi was the only
craftsman capable of creating, as he did, a g
tree 12 meters high that he carried to the cen-
ter of Ferrara with a huge truck, a g tree that
was to change color with the seasons, and also
shed its leaves.
Rambaldi had been living for about a
decade in the Calabrian city of Lamezia
Terme, where he died.

decade in some cases.
Campaigning together during this springs
GOP primary, Romney and Ryan were visibly
comfortable with each other on a personal and
professional level. Romney eagerly shared the
microphone with Ryan during campaign
events, they shared hamburgers at a fast food
restaurant, and the congressman played a
leading role in an April Fools joke on the
Republican presidential contender.
In recent days, conservative pundits have
been urging Romney to choose Ryan in large
part because of his authorship of a House-
backed budget plan that seeks to curb overall
entitlement spending and changes Medicaid
into a voucher-like system to save costs.
On Thursday, Romney fueled the buzz
around Ryan, telling NBC that he wants a vice
president with a vision for the country, that
adds something to the political discourse
about the direction of the country.
Several Republicans took that as an indica-
tion that Ryan had shot to the top of a shortlist
said to include Ohio Sen. Rob Portman and
former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. Neither
of those Republicans had plans to be in
Virginia on Saturday.
Romneys completion of the GOP ticket
comes as he tries to repair an image damaged
by negative Democratic advertising and shift
the trajectory of a campaign thats seen him
lose ground to President Barack Obama. The
vice presidential selection will dominate head-
lines, and Romneys team has been relentless-
ly teasing the announcement for weeks.
Ryan, 42, is viewed by some in the
Republican Party as a bridge between the but-
toned-up GOP establishment and a riled-up
tea party movement that has never warmed to
Romney.
As the chairman of the House Budget
Committee, Ryan could help Romney make
the argument that only the GOP ticket knows
how to turn around a nation in the midst of a
sluggish economic recovery. As talk about
Ryan swirled this week, Democrats have been
castigating Romney for embracing the Ryan-
sponsored budget proposal that critics say is
painful to the poor and elderly. It was a sign of
the line of attack to come.
The move also now links Romney directly
with House Republicans, including no-com-
promise tea partyers who have pressed for
deep spending cuts. Obama has been casting
House Republicans as an impediment to
progress in the often-gridlocked Washington.
At the same time, Ryan on the ticket could
help Romney become more competitive in
Wisconsin, a state Obama won handily four
years ago but that could be much tighter this
November.
Adding fuel to the speculation, Romneys
son Tagg also joined Ryan at a funeral for vic-
tims of the Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting
with Ryan on Friday, though the younger
Romney said he is planning to campaign in
New Hampshire over the weekend and is not
attending the bus tour. And a plane was
tracked Friday on a ight from Boston to
Janesville, Wis., where Ryan lives.
The Wall Street Journal, in an editorial on
Thursday, praised Ryan as a strong choice for
Romney: The case for Mr. Ryan is that he
best exemplies the nature and stakes of this
election. More than any other politician, the
House budget chairman has dened those
stakes well as a generational choice about the
role of government and whether America will
once again become a growth economy or sink
into interest-group dominated decline.

columnists Jenna

high schools this spring,
will leave their positions

Daily Journal for a years worth of feedback
and support. Weve all loved the opportunity
to be able to share our opinions and thoughts.
In fact, Ive enjoyed this past year writing for
Student News so much that I am lucky
enough to be continuing as a teen columnist
for another year at the Daily Journal. With
this, Id like to reintroduce myself as well as
introduce fellow columnists Carly Bertolozzi,
Rachel Feder and Sangwon Yun.
I will be a senior at Crystal Springs
Uplands School this year, where I write for
our student news magazine, Vantage. Ive
loved being able to cover a wide range of
topics for Vantage, whether sports, academics
or the separation of our middle and upper
schools. Ive been involved with journalism
at my school since my freshman year and
have since developed a passion for writing
that Ive been able to explore over the past

NEW YORK The Campaign is a broad
comedy made from broad intentions: Will
Ferrell and Zach Galianakis simply wanted
to make a movie together.
In the lm, which opens Friday, they play
two North Carolina politicians competing in
an increasingly nasty Congressional race.
Galianakis character shoots Ferrells point
blank and his poll numbers go up. That would
seem hopelessly extreme in its absurdity if
this wasnt an election year where real head-
lines have often seemed the stuff of high com-
edy.
Its a ready-made concept that pits two of
the best comedians in movies against each
other for the rst time in a major project. In
comedy, a Ferrell-Galianakis ticket is a win-
ner in a landslide.
The two rst crossed paths at Saturday
Night Live, where Ferrell was a veteran
standout and Galianakis was making a short-
lived stint that wouldnt last three weeks.
Hey Zach, have they told you what youre
doing? Ferrell recalls saying to a confused
Galianakis at the time.
They hadnt told him not an uncommon
consequence of SNL boss Lorne Michaels
sometimes inscrutable ways. To make matters
worse, Galianakis had come to the show
under the mistaken impression he was to be a
cast member the big break of his career
when he was actually hired as a writer.
His term at SNL was remarkable only for

Heres how surprisingly

spouse afterward. Or at least
share a longer hug or a more
passionate kiss.
You dont have to be married
for 31 years like the stuck-in-

Tommy Lee Jones play to feel
inspired by the lms message
about the importance of keep-
ing your relationship alive. It
sounds like a clichi because it

cottage industry, one thats
launched countless afternoon
talk show episodes and shelf
after shelf of self-help books.
And yet, despite television
ads that look alternately
wacky and mawkish and sug-
gest pat, glossy superciality,
Hope Springs unearths
some quiet and often uncom-
fortable truths. The rst pro-
duced script from television
writer and producer Vanessa

plicated dynamics that devel-
op over a long-term relation-
ship with great honesty and
little judgment. What looks

LOS ANGELES Meryl Streep and
Tommy Lee Jones play a longtime married
couple whove fallen into a rut in the sur-
prisingly honest and effective Hope
Springs. She hopes intensive couples thera-
py will restore their romance; hes content to
fall asleep in front of the television every
night watching The Golf Channel.
Marriage, in all its states, is such a univer-
sal topic that its been portrayed in countless
films. But troubled marriages can provide
showy performances and moments of
uncomfortable truth. Here are five great
examples:
Scenes From a Marriage (1973):
One of Ingmar Bergmans very best, this
intimate and piercing drama follows a seem-
ingly happy, upper-middle class Swedish
couple over the years as their marriage falls
apart. Marianne (Liv Ullmann) and Johan
(Erland Josephson) destroy each other, drift
apart and eventually wind up with other peo-
ple, but still find themselves intrinsically tied
to each other. Working with his longtime col-
laborator, the great cinematographer Sven
Nyqvist, Bergman is unflinching and uncom-
promising in his examination of this flawed
and all-too human love affair, and Ullmann
and Josephson are pitch-perfect. Originally
presented as a six-part TV miniseries, it was
edited down to a feature film of nearly three
hours. Not a moment of emotion has been
lost.
Whos Afraid of
Virginia Woolf? (1966):
I reference this movie a lot, I realize, but
this weeks list would seem empty without it.
Its the ultimate train wreck: Elizabeth
Taylor and Richard Burton booze it up and
berate each other in front a poor, unsuspect-
ing young couple who had the misfortune of
saying yes to their invitation to come over
one night. Mike Nichols adaptation of
Edward Albees play, his assured directing
debut, would have had a relentless sense of
claustrophobia anyway. But
the fact that Burton and Taylor
had such a notoriously tumul-
tuous off-screen relationship
(they were married to each
other in real life for the first
time) made their on-screen
barbs seem that much more severe.
Nominated for 13 Academy Awards, it won
five, including best actress for Taylors
scathing performance.
Blue Valentine (2010):
A heartbreaking drama about the disinte-
gration of a marriage depicted in such raw,
unadorned and sometimes uncomfortably
close fashion, it makes you feel as if youre
watching a documentary about a real-life
couple. Michelle Williams earned the second
of her three Oscar nominations here,
although co-star Ryan Gosling deserved one
just as much; each needs the other for their
dynamic to work, and both deliver perform-
ances of convincing power. Director Derek
Cianfrance skips back and forth in time
between the idyllic days of their youthful
courtship and the distance that divides them
years later as working-class parents, once
theyve realized how different their goals
are. Their overnight hotel getaway, a last
gasp at salvaging their marriage, is both
hopeful and heartbreaking.
The War of the Roses (1989):
Because we had to have a comedy in here
somewhere even the blackest of black
comedies to keep ourselves from getting
too terribly depressed. Michael Douglas and
Kathleen Turner reteam with their
Romancing the Stone co-star Danny
DeVito, who also directs, for a film that
couldnt be more different (and more bereft
of romance). As Oliver and Barbara Rose,
Douglas and Turner tear each other and
everything around them apart. Calling this a
messy divorce would be an understatement;
what happens to the couples opulent man-
sion more closely resembles a war zone. As
much an indictment of the conspicuous con-
sumption of the era as it is a cynical depic-
tion of modern love.
I Am Love (2010):
A vibrantly gorgeous film about a mar-
riage slowly, quietly dying. The versatile and
chameleon-like Tilda Swinton shows yet
another side to her staggering talent here,
speaking fluent Italian (and even a little
Russian) as the gracious and impeccably
dressed wife of a Milanese industrialist. She
would seem to have it all with her husband
and three children in their palatial home
until she realizes shes not happy. A young
chef catches her eye and helps her rediscov-
er the woman she used to be, inspiring a cli-
mactic departure of operatic proportions.
Italian director Luca Guadagninos retro-
styled melodrama recalls Visconti and Sirk
in its lush trappings, but Swintons formida-
ble presence at the center always keeps
things grounded and real.

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
MILWAUKEES HISTORIC PFISTER
HOTEL WEAVES THE PAST AND THE
PRESENT WITH ITS ARTIST-IN-RESI-
DENCE PROGRAM. Fabric Artist Timothy
Westbrook lives in two centuries, using 19th
century methods and 21st century materials as
he works within a double-windowed studio on
the ground level of Milwaukees stately Pster
Hotel. Westbrook is The Psters Artist-In-
Residence, the current participant in a four-
year-old program that came into existence as a
natural extension of The Psters long artistic
tradition. The Romanesque Revival Pster,
opened in 1893 at the then phenomenal cost of
more than 1 million dollars, was built to dazzle
and had features uncommon in its time, like
reproong, electricity and individual thermo-
stat controls in the guest rooms. Builder Charles
Pster adorned the public spaces of his Grand
Hotel of the West with art for the enjoyment of
guests and neighbors alike, and a wealth of
those portraits, genre paintings and statuary still
decorate the hotels resplendent lobby, its broad
guest oor hallways and its capacious function
rooms.
Commenting on the creation of the Artist-In-
Residence program, Pster General Manager
Joe Kurth said, For decades, The Pster has
hosted the much acclaimed Victorian Art
Collection, the largest of its kind in any hotel in
the world. We want to expand on our reputation
as a destination for art connoisseurs by offering
our guests and the public a glimpse into the
world of art as it is being created in real time,
by amazingly talented artists.
In his Pster studio, Fabric Artist Westbrook
uses a four shaft oor loom with six treadles,
manufactured by Leclerc, outtted with two 12-
inch boat shuttles and works primarily with a
12-dent reed. While the exact provenance of his
treadle sewing machine is uncertain, the style of
the shuttle bobbin indicates it was manufac-
tured between 1885 and 1895. Westbrook, who
is working on a legacy piece to be added to The
Psters collection, said, While at The Pster,
I plan to weave cloth out of various organic and
repurposed manmade materials, including
items like cassette tapes, sculpting them into
costumes and fashion, while pulling inspiration
from the hotel and the Victorian Decorative Arts
period. From my love of story telling and
mythology, I will be bringing to life the woman
who may have been the wife of Charles Pster,
who in truth was never married. The gown I
leave behind will be for [this imaginary] Ms.
Pster.
Westbrook enjoys meeting visitors at The
Pster and seeing how they interact with his
work. He said, We come into contact with fab-
ric every day. We sleep with cloth, awake in
cloth, dry off after bathing with cloth, to get
back into cloth for the day. But my processes
slow down the process as well as expose some
of the mysteries of this everyday material.
Many of the guests work grueling hours and are
in the hotel for conferences to discuss how can
they work more efciently. Others are here for
weddings that take an unimaginable amount of
time to plan and organize. Seeing how many
hours I work in the space on the loom and non-
electric machine shows the intricacies of an
industry that most see as an industry of imme-
diate gratication. Today, only a hotel can offer
that amount of exposure for sharing.
In addition to creating his own fabric works,
Westbrook serves as a docent for The Psters
Victorian art, saying, I enjoy the role of the
collections docent because I have so much to
learn. Each of the guests is an expert in their
own experiences and their perspectives are con-
stantly shedding new light on the collection.
General Manager Kurth said, Timothy is a
wonderful example of an artist who is growing
daily through his experiences and interactions.
The Pster also is growing in our expansion
beyond the visual arts and the previous painters,
to Timothys vision incorporating ber art. I
look forward to watching him continue to create
his Victorian gowns over the next several
months, and remain excited to see where The
Psters patronage of the arts and individual
artists takes us.

Four Diamond status for 35 consecutive years,

The platform game abides. It may have
the least appealing name imaginable
see, your character has to jump between
platforms but in recent years the genre
has attracted the interest of a whole posse
of young game designers. With hits like
Fez, Braid and Limbo, the plat-
former is enjoying the kind of attention it
hasnt drawn since the heyday of Super
Mario Bros.
In Sound Shapes (Sony, for
PlayStation 3, Vita, $14.99), developer
Queasy Games boils the platformer down
to its bare essentials. Your character is a
tiny ball that can roll, accelerate and
jump. It can stick to some surfaces, but
anything red will kill it. On each screen,
the object is to collect all the oating
discs and get to the exit.
Those discs, however, are what put the
sound in Sound Shapes. Each repre-
sents a musical note so, as you collect
them, youre building a musical composi-
tion. As you progress through each level,
the music gets more intense as the action
gets more challenging.
This sort of music-building experiment
isnt completely original; the 2010 puzzle
game Chime offered similar rewards.
But the graphics and music in Sound
Shapes blend so smoothly that each of
its two dozen levels feels like its telling a
story.
In D-Cade, for example, electronic
music phenom deadmau5 collaborates
with retro game studio PixelJam on a trib-
ute to the arcade classic Asteroids.
Corporeal, by Jim Guthrie and
Superbrothers the team behind 2011s
iPad hit Sword & Sworcery EP
takes place in a sterile ofce building.
Most infectious is Cities, in which
the design studio Pyramid Attack presents
a crumbling city in ames while Becks
soundtrack gurgles in the background. At
times, Becks vocals turn visual and
become part of the puzzle. Its one of the
most joyful fusions of music and game-
play Ive ever experienced.
As lovely as Sound Shapes is, its
disappointingly short: You can zip
through its built-in levels in an afternoon.
But the package also includes a full set of
tools to build your own levels.
On Sonys hand-held Vita, I was able to
whip up a functional, if rudimentary, level
in about 10 minutes. More ambitious
amateurs have already picked up the
gauntlet. Within 24 hours after the launch
of the software, fans had already created
and uploaded hundreds of homemade
challenges. The masterminds behind
Sound Shapes, designer Jonathan Mak
and musician Shaw-Han Liem, previous-
ly teamed up on the indie hit Everyday
Shooter. Theyve created an impressive
framework, but theyve left much of their
games ultimate success dependent on us,
the users.
Ill certainly dig into the mountain of
user-generated puzzles, but I hope Sony
and Queasy will deliver more collabora-
tions like the Beck-Pyramid Attack team-
up. Until then, Sound Shapes is a small
gem with huge potential. Three stars out
of four.

WEEKEND JOURNAL 23
like a standard rom-com turns into some-
thing akin to a contemporary Ingmar
Bergman film.
The performances from Streep and Jones
go a long way toward elevating the rather
straightforward direction from David
Frankel, which includes some painfully liter-
al musical selections and a few hokey comic
situations. Frankel also directed Streep in her
withering, Oscar-nominated performance in
The Devil Wears Prada. But stylish maga-
zine editor Miranda Priestly wouldnt be
caught dead in the sensible ensembles that
Streeps character here, Kay, wears and sells
at a mall chain store for middle-aged women.
Her wardrobe is one of many ways Hope
Springs depicts a safe, suburban
Midwestern life vividly and without an
ounce of mocking.
Kay and her husband, Arnold, live in a
comfortable home in Omaha, Neb. Their
children have grown up and moved out, leav-
ing them to settle into a drab routine. She
cooks him bacon and a couple of fried eggs
every morning, which he eats at the kitchen
table while reading the newspaper. A quick
kiss on the cheek and Arnold is off to work at
an accounting firm where hes one of the
partners. When he comes home at night,
some sort of meat-and-potatoes dinner is
waiting for him. Afterward, she cleans up
while he dozes off in the recliner watching
The Golf Channel. Then they head upstairs
to go to sleep in their separate bedrooms.
And its been this way for years.
Tired of the sexless complacency, Kay
insists one day that she and Arnold take part
in an intense, one-week couples therapy ses-
sion. In Maine. Arnold grudgingly agrees to
join her in the idyllic New England hamlet of
Great Hope Springs, but once he sits down
on the couch, it takes a while for him even to
consider opening up to the soft-spoken but
persistent Dr. Bernard Feld (Steve Carell,
playing a solid straight man to allow the two
stars to stand out).
The therapy scenes are just exquisitely
acted and paced, with body language and
slight facial gestures that speak volumes. The
silences provide tension and intimacy, but
once these two do begin answering ques-
tions, they reveal regrets and resentments,
yearnings and fantasies theyd never dared to
speak aloud before.
Arnold is perpetually exasperated and
emotionally closed-off but hes convinced
himself hes content; Jones is doing his
patented, humorously gruff persona but with
some eventual vulnerability that provides
shading and depth. Hes great here. And
Streep is just ... well, shes Meryl Streep.
Lovely, slightly naive and goofy and always
so accessible, she never has a moment that
feels forced or false. Kay longs to be loved
so desperately, your heart just aches for her
and yet, she also may bear much of the
blame for the state of her marriage.
Without a single special effect or explo-
sion, Hope Springs is the unexpected sum-
mer movie with real punch.
Hope Springs, a Columbia Pictures
release, is rated PG-13 for mature thematic
content involving sexuality. Running time:
99 minutes. Three stars out of four.

expressing my loyalty to the San Francisco
Giants or writing a response to the 2012
campaign, I hope Ive been able to provide
some insight on what matters to the average
teen. This year as a writer for Student News,
I hope to not only express my own viewpoint
on issues both local and international, but
also share the perspective of teens at my high
school and the greater San Mateo County
community.
Columnist Carly Bertolozzi shares an
equal passion for writing, which is made
clear by her involvement in journalism at her
school. Bertolozzi is a rising senior at
Carlmont High School where she is a colum-
nist and editor for the student newspaper, the
Highlander. This past year, she was honored
with the rst place columnist award by the
San Francisco Peninsula Press Club. In her
spare time, Bertolozzi also occasionally
blogs for Belmont Patch.
Rachel Feder will be a senior at
Burlingame High School this fall and is cur-
rently in the process of starting a literary
magazine. With this ambitious endeavor, she
is thrilled to be a part of her schools journal-
ism program for the rst time. Outside of
journalism, Feder is very involved with the-
ater at Burlingame High School and also par-
ticipates in dance outside of school.
Sangwon Yun will be a senior at Aragon
High School this year and has been involved
with journalism since the seventh grade. His
favorite class is AP biology and, as a result
of taking the course this past school year, he
hopes to study cell biology with an emphasis
on oncology in college. At Aragon, Yun is
also involved in athletics as part of both the
water polo and swim team. Yun often relies
on Peets Coffee Americano to help him
through his busy days at Aragon.
The four of us are all so excited to be writ-
ing for the Daily Journal this year and have
already brainstormed column topics ranging
from changes in the UC system to the glori-
cation of underage drinking in the media. We
hope that our writing will inspire thought and
discussion, and would love to hear comments
and feedback from our readers throughout
the year.

an attempt to convince guest host Britney

Entertainment Tonight-style interview, she
inexplicably begins bleeding from the mouth.
Ferrell would eventually exit SNL and
launch a very successful movie career, while
Galianakis continued with stand-up and vari-
ous projects before The Hangover, too, made
him one of the most sought-after comics in
Hollywood.
Ferrell, 45, approached Galianakis, 42,
about teaming up, and the two quickly took to
brainstorming. Their initial idea was to do a
male-centered version of Toddlers & Tiaras,
the TLC show about child pageants.
We were going to play two dads, which
would have really been hard to pull off because
of the creep factor, Galianakis said in a recent
joint interview with Ferrell. Both recoil at the
thought of shooting such a comedy while the
Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State was play-
ing out: If we were in the middle of shooting
the boy pageant movie? says a wide-eyed
Ferrell. Aye Toledo!
It fell to Adam McKay, the director and fre-
quent collaborator of Ferrells, and a producer
on The Campaign, to, like an exasperated par-
ent, nix the boy pageant idea. Instead, he sug-
gested a political comedy. For a short time, they
planned to make a movie based on the cam-
paign documentary The War Room, with
Ferrell as a candidate and Galianakis as a Karl
Rove-like adviser.
Then it was suggested, Why not be two
competing guys, do a broader, more commer-
cial comedy where we can still have a point of
view, Ferrell recalled.
They turned to lmmaker Jay Roach, whose
schizophrenic career as a director of farcical
comedies (Austin Powers, Meet the
Parents) and acclaimed HBO based-on-real-
life political dramas (Recount, Game
Change) made him a natural choice.
With little more than the outline of a promis-
ing concept that would match the two comedi-
ans mano-a-mano, the movie was green lit with
a production schedule and a release date that
would lend the obvious tie-in to the 2012 presi-
dential election. The script by Chris Henchy
and Shawn Harwell came later.
Their chemistry is amazing but its almost
unlikely, says Roach. They couldnt be more
different in their physicality, their attitudes.
Wills so instantly accessible and then theres
other things going on. Zach is instantly inacces-
sible and then theres other things going on.
From the start, it was conceived as a platform
for Seth Galianakis, the comedians ctional
brother character, a sometimes racist Southern
effeminate with a mustache (as opposed to
Galianakis usual beard). In the lm,
Galianakis plays a version of the character
named Marty Huggins.
Knowing the setting was North Carolina,
Ferrell found inspiration in former senator John
Edwards, albeit with shades of his President
George W. Bush impression from SNL.
Part of the thrill of seeing Galianakis and
Ferrell square off is that they seem to have an
offbeat rhythm set to the same metronome.
Though they come from different sides of the
comedy spectrum (Galianakis from stand-up,
Ferrell from improv), they share an uncommon
ability for stretching awkwardness beyond the
threshold of most.
I have learned as a stand-up its much better
for acting to go the way of someone that has
improv training and pay attention to that, says
Galianakis. It is much better if its a group
effort. I always say less is more, for me. I dont
need to say a lot of things. I dont want to say a
lot of things. (in a whisper) I dont want to
work.

Merrilees. Brennan previously ran for
the commission.
Both incumbents Kim Griffin and
Katie Kane are running unopposed for
re-election to the Sequoia Healthcare
District Board of Directors. Similarly,
incumbents Daniel J. Ullyot and Rick F.
Navarro have no opponents for re-elec-
tion to the Peninsula Health Care
District board.
Daly City Councilmen David Canepa
and Sal Torres are running unopposed
for re-election as is City Treasurer Tony
Zidich. The same goes for councilmem-
bers Marina Fraser and John Muller in
Half Moon Bay. Victor Spano and Karen
Ervin are running for two seats on the
Pacica City Council.
Many school leaders will also contin-
ue to serve without any competition.
Judy Bush and Maraca Goodman,
South San Francisco Unified School
District trustees, were both unopposed.
It will be a second term for both. In
Hillsborough, the ling deadline is Aug.
15 since incumbents Tom Kasten and
Christine Krolik are not running for re-
election. The Elections Ofce extends
the deadline for ofce if an incumbent
chooses not to run again. Incumbent
Vice Mayor Jess Benton is running as is
Shawn Christianson and Alvin Royse,
which may mean there is no need for an
election.
Three of the four seats on the San
Mateo County Board of Education up
for re-election held by Rod Hsiao,
Jim Cannon and Ted Lempert were
not contested.
Memo Morantes decided not to run for
re-election for the area seven seat, which
includes Las Lomitas, Menlo Park City,
Portola Valley, Ravenswood City and
Elementary school districts. Thus far,
educational nonprot director Joe Ross
and Jo-Ann Sockolov, executive director
for the Redwood City Education
Foundation, are running for the seat. The
deadline to file for that election is
Wednesday, Aug. 15 since Morantes is
an incumbent.
While November marks the rst can-
didate showdown in these races,
Election Day will be a runoff for several
other positions. U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo,
D-Palo Alto, squares off with Dave
Chapman, U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-
San Mateo, is running against Deborah
Bacigalupi, Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-
San Mateo, faces former assemby-
woman Sally J. Lieber for the newly
formed District 13 state Senate seat,
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo
Park, is running against Chengzhi
George Yang for the District 24
Assembly seat and South San Francisco
Councilman Kevin Mullin and Mark
Gilham compete for the District 22 state
Assembly seat. Shelly Masur and
Warren Slocum are running for the
District Four seat on the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors.

ELECTION
seats in the November election.
Interested candidates will have up to
Aug. 15 to le papers with the city since
the two incumbents are not seeking re-
election, City Clerk Miyuki Yokoyama
said.
Benton, Shawn Christianson and
Alvin Royse have qualified for the
November ballot and, unless another
candidate emerges, the council could
decide to appoint the three- to four-year
terms, Yokoyama said.
The city has not had a contested elec-
tion since 2006, she said.
In 2010, Marie Chuang and Laurence
May were the only Hillsborough resi-
dents to le to run for a council seat and
were eventually appointed to ll four-
year terms by the council, Yokoyama
said.
Krolik is leaving the council after
serving eight years and was mayor dur-
ing the citys centennial celebration in
2010.
The years went by quickly, she told
the Daily Journal.
If you put a need in front of our resi-
dents they will not let you down and our
staff is terric, Krolik said. It has been
an honor to serve.
She is also endorsing both
Christianson and Royse for the open
council seats.
Kasten is departing the council after
serving on it 12 years.
Its time to let others contribute to our
town. Ive thoroughly enjoyed my time
on the council and on some of the
regional boards, Kasten said.
Kasten was instrumental in pushing
San Francisco ofcials to drop a propos-
al to charge a $6 toll to motorists enter-
ing San Francisco from the south during
peak commute hours while he sat on the
board of the City/County Association of
Governments in 2010.
Christianson has lived in Hillsborough
more than 15 years and was named the
2010 Citizen of the Year by the
Associated Parents Group of
Hillsborough. She is a partner in the law
rm Buchalter Nemer.
Royse is the current chair of the citys
Financial Advisory Committee, which
advises the council and city staff on s-
cal operations. He is a certied public
accountant. Royse was honored as the
2012 Volunteer of the Year for the
American Heart Associations Western
States Afliate.

include 118, 123, 132, 280 and 359.
Route 118 provides service between
Pacica and the Colma Bay Area Rapid
Transit station; route 123 provides serv-
ice between Skyline College,
Serramonte Shopping Center and Colma
BART; route 132 serves South San
Francisco; route 280 serves Stanford
Shopping Center and East Palo Alto; and
route 359 serves Foster City, Hillsdale
Shopping Center and Millbrae BART.
The draft plan also proposes to add
two new routes, the 252 and 275, that
would serve Burlingame, San Mateo and
Redwood City to provide more east-west
connectivity to El Camino Real.
The proposed changes could add an
additional 1,000 riders a day or 310,000
riders annually, according to the draft
service plan.
SamTrans debt service requirement
this year is $24.4 million, with $12.7
million going to pay down the debt relat-
ed to the BART airport extension.
It operates 48 bus routes in San Mateo
County but just four them handle nearly
half of the transit agencys weekday rid-
ership.
SamTrans has a weekday average rid-
ership of about 45,000 a day but 45 per-
cent of the riders travel on just four
routes: the 120, 292, 390 and 391.
Those four routes are the least cost-
ly for SamTrans to run while some
local routes, such as the 72 in
Redwood City, cost the transit agency
nearly $15 per rider.
SamTrans only recovers 12 percent of
its cost from the fare box and gets most
of its support from tax revenue. Adult
fares are just $2 but it costs SamTrans
much more than that to accommodate
the trip.
SamTrans has struggled in recent
years, needing to use nearly $10 million
a year in reserves to pay down debt relat-
ed to the BART extension to the San
Francisco International Airport a debt
that is not estimated to be retired until
2032. It has also reduced its contribu-
tions to Caltrain substantially in recent
years.

SAMTRANS
SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 2012
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be optimistic regarding any
new projects or activities. Unbeknownst to you, condi-
tions are more favorable than theyve been in a long time.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Proceed, dont postpone
should be your most meaningful objective right now, so
focus all your energy and abilities on pursuing a goal
until it becomes a fait accompli.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You are likely to learn
something of value from most of your important
encounters. This newfound knowledge will serve you
well down the line.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- As long as someone is
successfully managing a critical matter for you, dont
interfere. In this instance, he or she is likely to be serv-
ing your best interests better than you can.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Due in large part
to the efforts of someone with whom youre involved,
a critical matter is being handled very successfully. It
behooves you not to interfere.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A turn for the better
might fnally be forthcoming in a critical area where
your personal efforts have been severely hampered.
Start taking advantage of it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be particularly nice to
everyone you encounter, regardless of their stations in
life. Youre in a cycle where something good can hap-
pen through new friendships.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Dont be too disturbed if
early trends dont look too promising. Youre apt to be a
far better runner in the stretch than you will be getting
out of the starting blocks.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Moving about freely gives
you a sense of well-being both physically and mentally.
Even if you dont have anything special to do, get out of
the house or workplace for a while.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- For some unknown rea-
son, its apt to be one of those days when you are likely
to be luckiest in involvements with material overtones.
It might be OK to take a gamble on money matters.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Because of your remark-
able resiliency and ability to bounce back, success is
reasonably certain with most anything you personally
control.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are likely to be able
to draw upon resources that are not available to others,
and that includes money. Get a jump on life now, while
its favoring you.
