Call it ghting re with re. Or, rather, fighting an initiative with another initiative. The Redwood City Council may try heading off a charter amendment initiative shifting development power to voters by proposing a measure to change how much a majority is required to pass such a measure. The move could cut off the initiative at the pass. Currently, the city charter requires a simple majority. The proposed measure, however, asks that construction of new development on open space require a super-majority or, 66 percent for approval. The City Council is considering its own initiative changing the terms of the city charter to require a supermajority. If passed, the so-called Open Space Initiative will have a much higher hurdle to climb. I worry a little bit about that. We dont want to do something that will hamstring our ability to do things,

The El Camino Theater

an Bruno was a typical town on the Peninsula in the early 1900s. It had a large, two-story building used for various things such as a bank, caf, shops and a large stage available for live entertainment. Specialty houses for each use were still not the norm for small towns. Everyday entertainment was usually conned to local bars and consisted of playing pool and drinking. Devices to project images in motion were being experimented with in houses called nickelodeons. The projection of images (photos) on lm evolved, and places to show movie lm as they became known were sought. Greens Hall in San Bruno t the bill perfectly. A piano for background music was placed in the hall, people brought their own chairs to sit on, and shows were presented to the public. Greens Hall was so successful that a separate building with a stage was built at the corner of Taylor, San Mateo Avenue and El Camino Real, and the public ocked to the building now called the Novelty Theater. The lms were without sound until the late 1920s when a process of placing sound on the lm was invented, thus making the Novelty Theater obsolete. The one-story, wooden building was torn down and a new multi-story, cement building complete with a large stage and screen was planned. Although the people of the area anxiously awaited the completion of the theater, it boasted only a foundation for three years. A depression had descended upon the United States

and money was tight. Finally, in July, 1930, it opened, and the El Camino Theater immediately became the showpiece of the northern Peninsula. The Theater was a huge concrete structure that covered two fty-foot lots facing San Mateo Avenue. It was the largest building in the city at that time two oors, with a third oor facade that a large El Camino Theater sign with blinking lights was supported from. This huge sign and the marquee that announced the present and future movies could be seen for many blocks. The theaters of the 30s were designed to offer a feeling of excitement and escape. Just buy a fteen cent ticket to the show from the glass-enclosed ticket attendant in front of the glass-doored entrance, and for a few eeting hours you were lost in a world of fantasy and fun. The darkness of the theater was both relaxing and exciting. Just within the entrance, a large lobby greeted you. Often this was decorated to promote up-coming features. A glass-topped counter displayed candy and snacks that could be purchased and taken into the movie house to be eaten during the lm. The fragrant smell of a ten-cent bag of popcorn encircled you the minute you entered the lobby, making it hard to resist buying a box to enjoy eating during the movie. The oors in the lobby were carpeted, a rarity in the city. This reduced the noise and distraction for the viewers. The attendants, ticket-takers and ushers, who were usually local teenagers, were dressed in smart uniforms that readily distinguished them from their peers. To add to the pleasure of the movie-goers, in the mid-1930s, the El Camino CreameryCaf was opened adjacent to the theater entrance. A few hundred yards away, across from the theater on El Camino Real, stood the

Gay revelers celebrate pride

Bay Area air quality remains unhealthy due to fires

A health advisory issued by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District has been extended through the weekend due to smoky conditions throughout the region. The initial health advisory was issued Wednesday in response to hundreds of wildres burning throughout California. The air district has recorded elevated levels of particulate matter throughout the Bay Area, but especially in the eastern parts of the region and the Santa Clara Valley. Throughout the weekend, we are expecting air quality in the Bay Area to continue to be impacted by the Northern California wildfires, said air district spokeswoman Lisa Fasano. We will continue to issue air quality forecasts and advise the public to take appropriate precautions. Bay Area residents are urged to avoid exposure to the smoky air, especially those more sensitive such as children and the elderly.
SAN FRANCISCO A lesbian motorcycle group dressed in bridal veils, wedding gowns and leather lent a matrimonial touch to San Franciscos gay pride parade Sunday as revelers celebrated their newfound freedom to marry. The riders tossed bouquets as they led the citys 38th annual gay pride parade down Market Street. Some of the motorcycles were adorned with signs that read Just Married. Huge crowds lined the route as city tourism ofcials predicted the largest turnout yet for the parade, which typically draws tens of thousands. The county clerks ofce was busy Friday handing out marriage licenses and handling wedding ceremonies. Same-sex marriage has been legal in California since June 16, after a state Supreme Court decision. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom received ovations along the parade route for his role in working to overturn the states gay marriage ban. Though City Hall was closed Sunday, parade organizers put up a wedding pavilion across the street where couples could get information about tying the knot or celebrate newly sanctioned unions. Wade French, 51, and his partner, Brent Lok, 54, wed in San Francisco the day after the courts decision took effect.

once again ban gay marriage in the state. In a taped interview Sunday morning on NBCs Meet the Press, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger called the measure a waste of time. I personally believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, Schwarzenegger said. But at the same time I think that my, you know, belief, I dont want to force on anyone else. The initiative set to go before voters in November would provide that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California. Its language was taken directly from a gay marriage ban enacted by voters in 2000, one of two the state Supreme Court found unconstitutional and struck down on May 15. Julie Kendall, 59, walked together with her partner of 23 years, Melinda Kendall, 50, holding a sign that read Were here, were queer and were registered at Macys. Though both women were grinning, they said they were worried voters might pass the ballot initiative. Im calling and e-mailing my friends urging them to get involved in the campaign. Im reminding them this is a civil rights issue, Julie Kendall said. The pair rst wed in 2004 when Newsom ordered the city to begin issuing licenses to same-sex couples in deance of state law. The state Supreme Court later nullied those marriages. The couple said they had obtained a new marriage license and planned to wed next month.

SIMI VALLEY Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says hes disappointed about the lack of action in Washington on key issues such as health care reform and immmigration. He told Tom Brokaw on Arnold Sundays Meet Schwarzenegger the Press that he shares the peoples frustration at the political stalemate that inevitably seems to occur on major policy issues. Schwarzenegger said cooperation between Republicans and Democrats is key to moving the national agenda ahead, and added that both parties need to show voters they can accomplish things.

SACRAMENTO To Celeste Tyler and her teenage friends, textmessaging is as effortless as tying their shoes. The high school senior can text without looking, sending messages on her red Samsung slider while its behind her back, in her purse or under her desk at school, where cell phones are banned. So why not do it while driving? A state law that takes effect Tuesday prohibits 16- and 17-yearolds from using any device to talk or text while driving, except in an emergency. A companion law allows adults to continue chatting away, but says they must use a hands-free device while driving. And thats just not fair, Tyler said. Ive seen a lot of adult drivers that are way more irresponsible than my friends with licenses, said the 17-year-old, who is studying for her license at A-1 Driving School in Sacramento. People over 28 dont know how to use their phones very well. Most teenagers rarely talk on their cell phones, she said, preferring text and instant messaging instead. Texting is not specically prohibited in the law for those 18 and older, but law enforcement ofcials say its generally covered under statutes aimed at distracted drivers. Californias crackdown is part of a nationwide movement to get drivers attention focused on the road rather than their conversations and their gadgets. Lawmakers in 33 states have introduced 127 bills related to driver distraction this year alone, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Ten years ago, there were very few people with cell phones, said Matt Sundeen, the organizations transportation expert. Thats obviously changed. New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Utah are among the states with laws requiring hands-free use of cell phones. A Washington state law takes effect at the same time as Californias.

Helicopters Firefighters in stalemate collide over Ariz.,six die

By Marcus Wohlsen
By Amanda Lee Myers

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. Two medical helicopters collided Sunday afternoon about a half-mile from a northern Arizona hospital, killing at least six people and critically injuring another person, a federal ofcial said. Three of the fatalities were aboard a Bell 407 helicopter operated by Air Methods out of Englewood, Colo. At least one of the dead was the patient. Four other victims were aboard a Bell 407 helicopter operated by Classic Helicopters of Woods Cross, Utah. Three were killed and one was critically injured. Capt. Mark Johnson, a spokesman for the Flagstaff Fire Department, said the helicopters crashed in a wooded area about a half-mile from Flagstaff Medical Center. The helicopters spread debris across the scene. Theyre not recognizable as helicopters, he said. The crash started a 10-acre brush re that authorities were able to extinguish, said Coconino County sheriffs spokesman Gerry Blair. The cause of the crash about a half-mile from Flagstaff Medical Center is being investigated. Hospital spokeswoman Starla Addair said she did not have any information to release.
SAN FRANCISCO Firefighters on Sunday had battled more than a thousand wildfires burning throughout Northern California to a stalemate, but forecasters said dangerous fire conditions would not relent anytime soon. No new major fires had broken out Sunday as fire crews inched closer to getting some of the largest blazes surrounded, according to the state Office of Emergency Services. But a red flag warning meaning the most extreme fire danger was still in effect for Northern California until 5 a.m. Monday. And the coming days and months are expected to bring little relief. Forecasters predicted more thunderstorms and dry lightning through the weekend similar to the ones that ignited hundreds of fires a week ago. Meanwhile, a U.S. Forest Service report said the weather would get even drier and hotter as fire season headed toward its traditional peak in late July and August. Lower-than-average rainfall and record levels of vegetation parched by a spring drought likely mean a long, fiery summer throughout Northern California, according to the Forest Services state fire outlook released last week. Already the fires now burning will take weeks to months to fully bring under control, the report said. Those blazes were mostly sparked by lightning storms that were unusually intense for so early in the season. But summer storms would likely grow even more fierce, according to the Forest Service. Our most widespread and/or critical light-

ning events often occur in late July or August, and we have no reason to deviate from that, the agencys report said. The blazes have scorched more than 556 square miles and destroyed more than 50 buildings, said state emergency services spokesman Gregory Renick. Air quality districts from Bakersfield to Redding issued health advisories through the weekend, urging residents to stay indoors to limit their exposure to the smoky air. Air pollution readings in Northern California are two to 10 times the federal standard for clean air, state air regulators said. On Saturday, President Bush issued an emergency declaration for California and ordered federal agencies to assist in firefighting efforts in Butte, Mendocino, Monterey, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Shasta, and Trinity. But California emergency officials said that state and local governments would also need federal financing to cover the costs of fighting so many fires this early in the year. Federal aid now includes four Marine Corps helicopters, remote sensing of the fires by NASA, federal firefighters, and the activation of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. More than 18,000 firefighters, nearly 1,700 fire engines and bulldozers, and more than 80 helicopters and aircraft were fighting more than 1,000 active fires Sunday, Renick said.
The blazes threatened more than 10,000 buildings across the region, he said. In hard-hit Butte County, 31 fires have burned 25 square miles and threatened 1,200 homes. Though the blazes had spread since Saturday, firefighters increased containment to 20 percent. More than 120 fires had scorched nearly 56 square miles in Mendocino County, and 900 homes were still under threat Sunday. Overall containment on the fires had grown to 20 percent Sunday, up from just 5 percent the day before. In Shasta-Trinity counties, fires that had burned nearly 69 square miles and threatened 230 homes were just 10 percent contained. A wildfire in the Big Sur region of the Los Padres National Forest charred more than 50 square miles and destroyed 16 homes as authorities advised more evacuations. The blaze was still just 3 percent contained more than a week after breaking out in the popular outdoor destinations steep mountain forests. The fire has forced the closure of a scenic stretch of coastal Highway 1 and driven away visitors at the peak of the tourist season. Further south in the Los Padres forest, firefighters reported good progress on a separate wildfire that started three weeks ago. The blaze has scorched 95 square miles of remote wilderness, but officials predicted it would be fully contained by Thursday.

China resists push for UN to punish Zimbabwe

By Matthew Lee
BEIJING A U.S.-led push to punish Zimbabwe ran into resistance Sunday from China, which can veto U.N. penalties sought against its African ally over President Robert Mugabes claim to re-election. After talks with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that also covered Taiwan, Tibet and North Korea, Chinas foreign minister said Beijing favors negotiations between Mugabe, who was sworn in for a new term Sunday, and the opposition. The most pressing path is to stabilize the situation in Zimbabwe, Yang Jiechi told reporters at a news conference with Rice. We hope the parties concerned can engage in serious dialogue to nd a proper solution. China hopes the international community, African countries in particular, can a play a more constructive role in this regard, he said. China as a responsible country will also play a constructive role in this process. After his swearing-in, Mugabe promised talks with the opposition. Yang stuck to a position that China, one of Zimbabwes chief friends and trading partners, long has held. But his comments came just after Rice had spent a signicant amount of time making the case for the Bush adminis-

trations new push to pressure Mugabe, ofcials said. Not much later, in Zimbabwes capital, Mugabe was sworn in for a sixth term. Hours before, electoral ofcials said he had won a discredited runoff. Leaders in Africa and elsewhere had condemned Fridays runoff, in which Mugabe was the sole candidate. Opposition candidate Morgan Tsvangirai had withdrawn because of the violence. Human rights groups have said opposition supporters were the targets of brutal state-sponsored violence during the campaign, leaving more than 80 dead and forcing some 200,000 to ee their
homes. Before traveling to Beijing, Rice was in Chinas earthquake-devastated southwest, visiting some of the tens of thousands of people left displaced by last months temblor. Rice praised Chinas disaster recovery effort, saying it contrasted with Myanmars reluctance to allow in foreign aid after a devastating cyclone. She was the highest-ranking American to inspect the damage in the mountainous Sichuan province where almost 70,000 people have died, including thousands of schoolchildren killed when their classrooms crumbled. President Bush said Saturday the U.S. was working on ways to further punish Mugabe and his allies. That could mean steps against his government as well as additional restrictions on the travel and nancial activities of Mugabe supporters. The U.S. has nancial and travel penalties in place against more than 170 citizens and entities with ties to Mugabe, the White House says. Bush also wants the U.N. Security Council to impose an arms embargo on Zimbabwe as well as travel bans on Zimbabwe government ofcials. Mugabe leads an illegitimate government that retained power only through a fraudulent election, Bush said after the runoff. The Mugabe regime held a sham election that ignored the will of the people of Zimbabwe.

Woman gets back ring she lost in lake in 54
LUDINGTON, Mich. A woman who lost her class ring in Lake Michigan in 1954 has it back, thanks to a metal-detector hobbyist. Robert Savage told the Ludington Daily News for a story Saturday that he found the ring about 12 years ago but only recently began looking for its owner. He did a bit of detective work by looking at the initials and the year on the ring. He found a Ludington High yearbook for 1955 and found that Jan Pedersen was the only person in the class with the right initials. Now Jan Zacharda, she says she had forgotten about the ring she lost at Ludington State Park. And shes even more puzzled that Savage found it in a lake about a dozen miles away. Zacharda now wears the ring on her index nger, where it ts better.
Governors discuss energy,wildlife

By Matt Joyce
TETON VILLAGE, Wyo. Governors from several Western states voted Sunday to form a council that will study ways to protect wildlife habitat in the face of ever-increasing demand for energy development in their region. The governors were attending the rst day of the annual Western Governors Association conference, held this year in the valley of Jackson Hole in Wyomings northwestern corner. The task of the Western Wildlife Habitat Council will be to identify key wildlife corridors and habitats for animals such as pronghorn antelope, sage grouse and bear. It is also considering the potential impact of energy development both in the form of oil
It is very interesting that you often have world-class habitat that is sitting right above world-class energy reserves.

and gas drilling and new construction of solar and wind generation plants as well as the matter of infrastructure for the rising population in the region and the effects of climate change. It is very interesting that you often have world-class habitat that is sitting right above world-class energy reserves, U.S. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne said. It is to our benet that they are not mutually exclusive. When you look at the $4 a gallon gasoline and
see what the implications are of that for the American family with regard to fuel and food, you need to do all you can to responsibly and environmentally develop our energy resources. Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal, chairman of the associations board of directors, has stressed the preservation of wildlife habitat, particularly to protect hunting, as his state enjoys the benets of wealthy coal and natural gas reserves.
Out-of-state crews post S.C. signs in wrong places

COLUMBIA, S.C. While out-of-town for business, it always helps to ask the locals for directions. Especially if that business involves putting up street signs. Crews from the North Carolina firm Signage Industries installed two signs near downtown Columbia, South Carolina that mistakenly pointed motorists away from the two colleges and an auditorium they promoted. A city official, Steve Gantt, says a Columbia worker will now tail along with the North Carolina crews installing the citys more than 100 new signs.
Analysis: Iran harder sell on giving up nukes

By Anne Gearan
WASHINGTON Iran and North Korea may be two points on President Bushs old axis of evil, but the authoritarian governments are polar opposites when it comes to defusing their nuclear programs. North Korea revealed secrets about its arsenal of bomb fuel and destroyed part of its atomic factory on television this past week in exchange for economic and political concessions from the United States. It was an
encouraging sign the secretive communist country may give up its bombs altogether and an incremental victory for the kind of oldfashioned, talk-to-your-enemies diplomacy distrusted by Bush administration hard-liners. But its not a sign Iran also can be bought off, regardless of whether Bush or his successor talks to Tehran. Weak, poor and inward-looking, North Korea needs and wants the help the world is offering. Although it remains, with Iran, one of the most heavily penalized countries, North Korea now has won at least the possibility of
greater inclusion in the global nancial system, and at relatively little cost. In the end, nuclear know-how may be more valuable to North Korea as a commodity than it is in weapon-making. Iran, however, is not such a willing customer. Strong, rich on $140-a-barrel oil and widely engaged in the world, Tehran has stiffed European courtiers and a late, heavily conditioned offer of U.S. diplomacy. It has greeted an offer of economic incentives by speeding up its nuclear development work.

OPINION
Floods,fires,prices and weather gone wild

eadline news and photos of homes drowning or burning make one wonder if mother nature and the cost of petroleum are out of control. Columnist and author Thomas Friedman predicts we can free ourselves from dependence on foreign oil while reducing global warming and create jobs in new alternative fuel industries. The Economist magazine predicts this will be the new technology boom. The idea of growing what you put in the tank of your car, rather than sucking it out of a hole in the ground, no longer looks like economic madness. Nor does the idea of throwing away the tank and plugging your car into an electric socket instead. Whats more, most of the worlds oil is in foreign lands which dont like us. While we are fretting about rising gas prices, Silicon Valley whiz kids and venture capitalists are exploring new ideas to power us and keep us moving. The Prius may become a thing of the past as plug-in-hybrids become the rage and Saudi Arabia/Venezuela oil unessential. One U.S. Congressman is calling for a Manhattan Project (which produced an atomic weapon to help win World War II) to help cure the countrys oil addiction. U.S. Rep. Randy Forbes (Republican from Virginia) has introduced a bill to speed up production of cars with good gas mileage, increase energy efciency, solar power, biofuels and hasten development of clean coal, nuclear-waste storage and nuclear fusion. What about Al Gore for energy czar? *** A good way to save on gasoline is to live in Portland, Ore. The city has become a mecca for trolleys, buses, light rail, pedestrians and cyclists so no need for a car to get around. A trolley circulates downtown and in the heart of downtown Portland, it is free. Light rail takes you directly to the airport from the city and surrounding areas. (no detour to San Bruno as in the BART to SFO system). Service is every 15 minutes. I experienced Portlands multitransit systems on a recent visit. New neighborhoods and communities are sprouting around the rail lines. This seems to be where many people want to live. The neighborhoods include beautiful parks and affordable housing which you cant distinguish from higher market rate apartments/condos. The trolley and

light rail cars are clean and attractive. The waiting platforms are clean, attractive and comfortable. Yes, people still drive cars but we actually saw more people riding the rails than autos. It has taken Portland 20 years to develop this system. The community supported the concept of directing development along the transit corridors and to increase heights and densities, especially in the downtown, in order to preserve outlying farmlands. Imagine how different Santa Clara County would look today if its public ofcials had the same foresight. There would be less sprawl and more fruit trees. Imagine if the trolley car line which ran from San Mateo County to San Francisco had been preserved. The tracks were removed because the automobile industry viewed them as a threat. We would have a convenient light rail system close to El Camino Real to complement Caltrain commuter service. Closer to home. the city of San Mateo has developed a state-of-theart transit corridor plan. Exciting new residences and stores are planned adjacent to the Hayward Park Station. Lawsuits, notwithstanding, the race track will be replaced with a rst rate development of homes, condos and neighborhood retail stores, within spitting distance of the Hillsdale Caltrain station. There are still those who protest, those who prefer gas guzzling urban sprawl but they are declining in number as the oods, forest res, high temperatures and rising gasoline prices point to a different path. *** Ten reasons you should leave your car behind or feel very guilty about contributing to global warming was the subject of Mark Simons presentation at the Council of Cities dinner Friday night. Mayors and councilmembers heard the Caltrain/ SamTrans spokesman describe how a new system will tell SamTrans customers how long they have to wait for the next bus and buses will move faster with trafc signal prioritization equipment (When a bus approaches a red light, just as in the Simon says
game, the signal will say green and the bus will be on its way.) Meanwhile, Caltrain expects to be electried by 2014 which will mean more service and less pollution. The future rapid rail system will include new cars and minute to minute rather than hour to hour service. A person who commutes alone and travels 20 miles a day, can reduce his or her annual CO2 emissions by 4,800 pounds per year by switching to public transportation. *** If you havent read U.S. Sen. Barack Obamas two books, Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope, you are missing two great reads (both have been on the national best-seller list for over a year) and staying ahead of the rumor curve. Last week a letter to the Daily Journal selected some quotes out of context and some that did not exist from Obamas books. My guess is that the letter writer never read the books himself but is quoting from some Internet garbage which is circling the Web and hopes you are too lazy or too stupid to check the source. Ironically, the full passage where a sentence was taken out of context, speaks of Obamas quest as a young man to determine his identity. He turns to his father, whom he doesnt really know, for inspiration but then as Obama matures he recognizes that his father no longer belongs on a pedestal. Here is one example of the accusation in contrast to the full quotes from the book: I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didnt speak to my own. It was into my fathers image, the black man, son of Africa, that Id packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela. Full quote from Dreams From My Father, page 220: All my life I had carried a single image of my father, one that I had sometimes rebelled against but had never questioned, one that I had later tried to take as my own. The brilliant scholar, the generous friend, the upstanding leader my

father had been all those things. All those things and more, except for that one brief visit in Hawaii he had never been present to foil the image, perhaps because I hadnt seen what perhaps most men see at some point in their lives: their fathers body shrinking, their fathers best hopes dashed, their fathers face lined with grief and regret. Yes, Id seen weakness in other men Gramps and his disappointments. Lolo and his compromise. But these men had become object lessons for me, men I might love but never emulate, white men (his grandfather was white) and brown men (his step-father was from Indonesia) whose fates didnt speak to my own. It was into my fathers image, the black man, son of Africa, that Id packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela. And if later I saw that the black men I knew Frank or Ray or Will or Rao fell short of such lofty standards; if I had learned to respect these men for the struggles they went through, recognizing them as my own my fathers voice had nevertheless remained untainted, inspiring, rebuking, granting or withholding approval. You do not work hard enough, Barry. You must help in your peoples struggle. Wake up, black man! Now, as I sat in the glow of a single light bulb, rocking slightly on a hard-backed chair, that image had suddenly vanished, Replaced by ... what? A bitter drunk? An abusive husband? A defeated, lonely bureaucrat? To think that all my life I had been wrestling with nothing more than a ghost!

Regarding brain implants
Editor, It just keeps getting scarier and scarier. The article you printed Brain pacemakers for depression in the May 27 edition of the Daily Journal states a very important fact: Scientists dont have nearly as much understanding of what goes awry to cause depression or other psychiatric illnesses. But the psychiatrists are certainly ready to jump on this $40,000 per procedure to implant and basically re-wire a persons brain. The diagnosis? Unknown. What is the actual cause of the symptoms? Unknown. Will these implants kill people? Unknown. Will these implants have the capacity to go horribly wrong and disable people or turn them into monsters? Unknown. But how much can they charge? Oh, known - $40,000. Each. Just think, a mere 25 procedures and they bank a million dollars. Yep, thats known. bing at straws to get their own way and disregard the needs of the community. For shame.

Truce with Hamas

Editor, While Israel and Hamas continue to abide by a tentative truce, Hamas ally Islamic Jihad continues to send rockets toward Sderot and the surrounding communities. Hamas turns a willful blind eye to this behavior and a spokesman has said, Hamas would not act as Israels police force in confronting militants who breech the truce. Simply put, why not? If Hamas is unwilling to confront those who violate the truce, what good are they? If they dont want to be Israels policemen, how about being their own? And if Hamas
cannot guarantee calm and civil behavior by parties under their rule, what good are they? Hamas holds kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, now entering his third year in captivity. Release him, and build some good will. Stop the rockets, and build more. Start building rather than destroying and then well have something to talk about. I am not nave enough to believe this truce will hold and like the Netanya Pesach bombing, heaven forbid, Hamas will monstrously succeed in hitting a target that will leave Israel no choice but to engage in a harsh military action, like 2002s Operation Defensive Shield. Calm is a fleeting illusion given current circumstances.

Robert Mugabe sworn in after discredited vote

By Angus Shaw
Saudi field key to boosting oil

By Sebastion Abbot
HARARE, Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe was sworn in for a sixth term Sunday, just hours after government ofcials said he overwhelmingly won a runoff that has been widely discredited. His main rival dismissed the inauguration as an exercise in selfdelusion. Mugabe promised talks with the opposition, perRobert Mugabe haps mindful that African leaders will pressure him to negotiate at a summit he was to attend Monday in Egypt. As dignitaries watched under a red-carpeted tent at the State House complex, Mugabe held a Bible and stood before a red-robed, whitewigged judge to swear to uphold his nations laws so help me God. He then sat amid cheering to sign documents. The inauguration is meaningless, Morgan Tsvangirai, leader of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change, told Associated Press Television News. The world has said so, Zimbabwe has said so. So its an exercise in self-delusion. Tsvangirai said he believed members of Mugabes ZANU-PF party were ready for talks. I think that the reality has dawned on all the elites in ZANU-PF, Tsvangirai said. Without negotiating with the MDC this is a dead-end. The 84-year-old Mugabe, Zimbabwes leader since independence from Britain in 1980, was expected to depart almost immediately for an African Union summit that opens Monday in Egypt.
KHURAIS OIL FIELD, Saudi Arabia This massive oil eld surrounded by the desolate sands of Saudi Arabias vast eastern desert feels like the middle of nowhere. But what happens over the next year at Khurais, one of Saudi Arabias last undeveloped giant oil elds, could hold the key to what drivers will pay at the pump for years to come. Under way at Khurais and two other smaller elds nearby is what Saudi Arabia calls the single largest expansion of oil production capacity in history. With consumers howling over record fuel prices and the United States pushing Saudi Arabia to produce more oil, this patch of sand 100 miles west of the Saudi capital of Riyadh has become one of the most important places in the world economy. Saudi Arabias state-owned oil company,
Aramco, is spending $10 billion to build the infrastructure to pump 1.2 million barrels of oil per day by next June from the Khurais eld and its two smaller neighbors. That alone would be more than the total individual production of OPEC members Qatar, Indonesia and Ecuador. The project forms the centerpiece of the Saudi plan to increase the total amount of oil it can produce to 12.5 million barrels per day by the end of 2009 up from a little more than 11 million barrels per day now. Consuming nations have pushed Saudi Arabia to boost production capacity even further and also want the worlds top oil exporter to begin pumping more crude immediately to bring down record oil prices hovering near $140 a barrel. They say oil production has not kept up with increased demand, especially from China, India and the Middle East. Saudi Arabia plans to produce 9.7 million barrels of oil per day, or 11 percent of the worlds total, in July. It is the only nation with
signicant excess capacity that it could put on the market quickly. But the kingdom has resisted calls to increase production further, saying nancial speculators and the falling dollar are to blame for high oil prices, not a shortage of supply. These disagreements came to a head June 22 at a rare meeting of oil producing and consuming nations hosted by Saudi Arabia. In the end, Saudi Arabia said it could increase oil production capacity to 15 million barrels per day if needed in future years. But it gave no indication that step, or an immediate increase in output, was necessary or planned. The political tussle over output masks the challenge Saudi Arabia faces in boosting production capacity by developing giant elds like Khurais. That is what people dont appreciate, said Manouchehr Takin, an oil expert at the London-based Centre for Global Energy Studies. These are major projects, and people dont realize they arent that easy.
Reopening black farmerssuits could cost billions

By Ben Evans
WASHINGTON Lawmakers budgeted just $100 million for damages when they reopened the governments discrimination settlement with black farmers. They probably should have handed over a blank check. With more than 70,000 potential claimants, the liability could exceed $3 billion three times what was paid out in the original 1999 agreement. The settlement was reopened thanks to legislation added to the farm bill passed last month. It illustrates how lawmakers often manipulate pay-as-you-go budget rules to give the appearance they are balancing the federal checkbook. Supporters acknowledge that the $100 mil-
lion was an arbitrary amount that will not come close to covering the actual cost. Yet the measure ran into little opposition during the monthslong debate on the farm bill, mainly because of the articially low price tag. The reality is that we had to x some dollar amount to this provision because thats what the House rules require, said Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala., a lead sponsor of the proposal. With a higher estimate, he said, lawmakers probably would have stripped the provision. The decision to allow new claims comes almost 10 years after the Agriculture Department settled a class-action lawsuit brought on behalf of thousands of black farmers. The farmers, mainly from rural areas in the South, alleged that local USDA ofces routinely denied them loans, disaster assistance and
other aid frequently given to whites practices that often drove them out of business. At that time, 22,500 farmers led claims. Nearly two-thirds were awarded a total of $981 million in damages, including one Virginia farmer awarded $6.6 million. But an estimated 73,000 others were denied payments because they missed the October 1999 deadline for seeking claims. Many said the six-month ling period was too short and that they were unaware of the settlement until it was too late. The deadline was extended for nearly a year for those who could show extraordinary circumstances, such as illness. But only a small fraction of late claims qualied, and federal courts repeatedly denied subsequent requests to reopen the settlement.

Credit scores hit by card limits

By Rachel Beck
NEW YORK Just as Americans grow more reliant on credit cards to help pay monthly bills, theyre being hit with a one-two punch: Card companies are reducing borrowing limits for tens of thousands of consumers, which then can lead to lower credit scores. Those facing this predicament might not even know it until they apply for a loan or another credit card, and then get denied because their credit score has dropped. This is an unintended consequence of the nancial worlds widespread ratcheting down of risk. Banks and other card lenders are trying to better protect themselves from more massive losses like those theyve seen from subprime mortgages. As a result, they are looking for ways to reduce their exposure to cardholders more likely to default. Thats why they are lowering credit limits, which means they are reducing the maximum amount of credit extended to an individual, along with boosting card interest rates and allowing fewer balance transfers. This is what they have to do at this time, said John Hall, a spokesman for the American Bankers Association, a Washington-based trade group. Such moves come as consumers are increasingly using their credit cards as a source of liquidity, especially since its
Business conditions continue to weaken in the U.S.and so far this month we have seen credit indicators deteriorate beyond our expectations.

becoming harder to tap their home equity as much to pay for everything from renovations to vacations to trips to the mall. As the housing and mortgage markets have collapsed, lenders have also reduced the limits on what are known as home equity lines of credit, or HELOCs. Net home equity extraction fell nearly 60 percent from a year earlier to $205 billion in the rst quarter, according to Merrill Lynch. The investment bank also notes that some $1.2 trillion in equity and housing wealth was wiped out in the rst quarter alone because of plunging home values. At the same time, revolving credit usage which includes credit cards accelerated sharply to a year-over-year growth rate of about 8 percent in recent months. Thats the fastest rate in seven years and well ahead of the 2 to 3 percent rate of growth from 2004 through 2006 when home equity lines of credit were a bigger source of cash for consumers, according to Merrill. But as credit cards are used more frequently, that often results in bigger balances left on the cards. Whats worri-
some is that consumers who are faced with a number of ugly economic scenarios hitting at once falling home prices, surging commodities costs and a weak job outlook wont be able to pay their bills. American Express warned Wednesday that more of its customers were falling behind on their payments. That led some Wall Street analysts to forecast that the card company may soon lower its predicted earnings growth for 2008. Business conditions continue to weaken in the U.S. and so far this month we have seen credit indicators deteriorate beyond our expectations, American Express CEO Kenneth Chenault said in a statement. Thats why card companies including Washington Mutual, HSBC and Wells Fargo are lowering their credit limits, according to data from the consulting rm Institutional Risk Analytics. Consumer advocates arent saying that is bad news in fact, they believe it helps prevent cardholders from overextending themselves and is preferred to having a sudden surge in card interest rates.
Days of oversize airline carry-ons are limited

By Chris Kahn
PHOENIX Admit it. That chunky carry-on bag of yours would never t into the sample box displayed outside the airport gate. Dont expect that bag to get a free ride for long. Checked bags are now a moneymaker for US Airways, American Airlines and United Airlines, and ofcials say theyre going to keep a closer watch on how
much you take on board as they begin their new baggage fees. Were planning on having extra staff where possible, especially at peak times at busy airports, US Airways spokesman Morgan Durrant said. The airlines point out that the carry-on policy came from the Federal Aviation Administration, not the industry, and they have an obligation to keep people from sneaking bulky bags onto planes to avoid fees. Not only is it unfair to the honest, fee-paying traveler, they say, but
it would also overload the overhead bins and force gate crews to delay takeoffs while they checked excess bags. But the added scrutiny means something else as well. Every passenger even those not used to checking bags is going to have to start following the rules. People who are accustomed to boarding with a large roller case might nd themselves handing $15 to an airline employee before they get through security.

Redwood City resident earns one of his biggest victories at Burlingame cycling race
By Emanuel Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you dont mind, it doesnt matter, according to Mark Twain. Chris Hipp takes a similar message to heart every time he gets on his bike. At 46, long in the tooth by cycling standards, Hipp regularly competes against athletes young enough to be one of his children. But that doesnt stop the former pro cyclist from teaching a lesson or two to todays rising stars. The Redwood City resident earned one of the biggest victories in his 25-year cycling career on Sunday, besting a eld of 101 com-
petitors in the Burlingame Criterium mens pro 1-2 race. Unlike previous years, when this race came down to near photo nishes, Hipp made this one anticlimactic by criterium standards. With a little less than ve meters to go Hipp raised his arms in triumph, buoyed by a burst that started with 100 meters remaining. Much to the surprise of the Labor Power racing team member who had no other teammates in the eld, Hipp saw no one on his wheel, and shortly after he crossed the nish line under little duress. I looked back and thought, what the hell happened, he said. Usually when a guy jumps out like
that theres a guy right behind you. Not this time. Even though Hipp was able to get a solo break, victory was anything but assured. If his nal burst wasnt powerful enough, he wouldve got caught from behind, adding to his bridesmaid status in 2005 and 06, when he nished fth and fourth, respectively. But there was no doubt he had the goods, as he opened up a lead of ve bike lengths before accelerating to the nish. In criteriums, like any sporting event, you need talent, some help and a little bit of luck. Winning riders are able to stay out of trouble

Major win for Spain

Spain 1,Germany 0

Sorenstam has to settle for a perfect ending

his wasnt exactly the way Annika Sorenstam thought it would end, if this actually was the end. It might not be, because Sorenstam conceded earlier this week there was an outside chance we may not have seen the last of her in the U.S. Womens Open just quite yet. For now, though, the plans of the greatest female player of her generation are to retire at the end of the year and start a family before her biological clock ticks down. Unless they change, this was the last time she would play in the Open championship she won three times in her storied career. A few groups behind her on a windy Sunday at Interlachen Country Club, a teenager from South Korea was on her way to a nal round romp to become the youngest Open winner ever. Sorenstam was once that kind of player, but at the age of 37 her desire to play golf for a living is waning at the same time her desire to have children and do more normal things grows. She wanted to leave here in style, cradling her fourth Open trophy before heading overseas for her nal major championship at the British Open. She hit the ball well enough to do just that, but the putter wouldnt cooperate and her emotional tank had long since run dry. Now she stood on the 18th fairway, 199
VIENNA, Austria A championship 44 years in the waiting is worth a special celebration. Spain made sure it didnt disappoint any of its fans Sunday night, both during its 1-0 victory over Germany to win the European Championship, and after it. Fernando Torres scored in the 33rd minute and the Spaniards never backed down against such a formidable opponent. Their last signicant title came in the 1964 Euros at home. It is to me the most important day in Spanish football in many, many years, Torres said. Against the highly accomplished Germans, the Spaniards werent intimidated. They got the one goal they needed from a slumping striker, no less and set off chants of ES-PANA! and Ole, Ole Ole! at the nal whistle. The entire Spanish squad ran over to the huge rooting section of red and gold, exchanging hugs, while many of the spent Germans collapsed to the turf. When Spain goalkeeper and captain Iker Casillas accepted the trophy on a stage, the Spanish fans began chanting the melody to their national anthem, which has no words. Thousands of camera ashes went off as the players jumped in place, then headed onto the eld to show off their prize.

their rst series win in the Bay Area rivalry in two years. We know theyve beaten us up the past couple of years, Aurilia said. Were just trying to win games. It doesnt matter who we play. Every time we play the As they throw a good pitcher at us; and the guys in the bullpen are good too. The key today was getting ve two-

Its always nice getting those two-out hits, Bowker said. You need that to win games like this. Jack Cust hit a home run, and Joe Blanton became the rst AL pitcher with 11 losses as the As dropped their third in ve games. Sanchez (8-4) gave up Custs home run in the second and not

Resurgent United spoil Beckhams D.C.visit 4-1

By Joseph White
WASHINGTON The Los Angeles Galaxy wilted in the heat during David Beckhams annual visit to the nations capital, hardly the best scenario against a D.C. United team that is scoring goals in bunches. Luciano Emilio struck twice, Marcelo Gallardo had one goal, and Jaime Moreno converted a penalty kick Sunday as United won their fourth straight game, dominating the second half of a 4-1 victory over the Galaxy before a season-high 35,979 fans at steamy RFK Stadium. In the second half, you see players that really suffered from the heat, Galaxy coach Ruud Gullit said. They were exhausted. Its extreme for a player to play in this heat and the humidity also. After a 2-7 start that brought into serious question the franchises major offseason moves, United have rebounded to go unbeaten in six games. Theyve scored 18 goals in that span, led by nine from reigning league MVP Emilio. He now has 10 goals on the season, only one behind league-leader Landon Donovan of the Galaxy. Two months ago, we were still sorting out a lot of issues, United coach Tom Soehn said. We have a talented group, and whenever you underperform, its frustrating on all ends. Its a matter of time that the chemistrys going to start setting, and it has. Guys are starting to understand each other more and more, and were starting to look more like a team. The game matched the two teams that lead the league in both goals scored and goals allowed, but only United maintained its offensive prowess for the full 90 minutes. The Galaxys only goal came from Edson Buddle, who netted his 10th of the season. Meanwhile, Donovans highlight moment was a painful one a bloody whack in the nose from Gallardos forearm in the rst half. Gallardo was assessed a yellow card instead of a red-card ejection, and Donovan got his own yellow card for arguing the call. Gallardo eventually scored to give United a 3-1 lead in the second half, long after the Galaxy felt he should have sent to the showers. He scored the third goal. Hes supposed to be off the pitch, Gullit said. There was blood
coming out of (Donovans) nose. I blame also the fourth ofcial because its ridiculous it was right in front of him. If he has no authority, what is the point of having him there? The conditions were hardly ideal for the only David Beckham regular season MLS game ABC plans to televise this year. The start time was noon or 9 a.m., according to the body clocks of the West Coast-based Galaxy on a typically uncomfortable summer day in Washington. The early start allowed the network to make the game the rst half of a doubleheader, capped by the European Championship nal. Im disappointed with the way it went in the second half, said Beckham, whose appearance helped United draw roughly double its usual crowd. We lost our way. We kept giving the ball away, and we didnt play well. It was hot out there, but it was more than that today. The play was lively at both ends in the rst half. The game had barely begun when Beckham made his biggest impact literally by drilling a ball that hit Gonzalo Martinez in the groin, leaving the United defender writhing in pain for a minute or so before he could resume play. United scored the rst goal in the fth minute, after Ante Jazic needlessly shoved Santino Quaranta in the back at the top of the penalty box. Moreno made the spot kick for his sixth goal of the season. Quaranta later left the game with a strained hamstring. Buddle tied the score in the 26th, but Emilios falling-backward looping header inside the far post put United ahead to stay in the 37th. Gallardo followed with his goal in the 60th, scoring after Emilio settled Martinezs cross, and a nice breakaway sequence from Moreno to Fred to Emilio accounted for the nal goal in the 68th. An emotional moment occurred in the 75th minute, when United midelder Ben Olsen returned from a severe ankle injury to make his rst appearance of the year. Olsen, one of the most popular players in franchise history and a key locker room leader, entered the game to a standing ovation.

Soccer fans celebrate Spains win at a public viewing area after the Euro 2008 soccer nal between Germany and Spain in central Madrid.
SPAIN
The Spaniards werent close to nished with their celebration that was so long in the making. They marched to their rooting section, hoisting the cup and saluting their ag-waving, recracker-exploding fans. We have won in a brilliant way, coach Luis Aragones said. We will be able to start saying we can win, a European championship as well as any other thing. In beating a team that makes a habit of appearing in championship nals, the Spaniards put to rest a reputation for underachieving. Always loaded with talented players, Spain has spent four decades falling short of expectations. That all changed at these Euros, where the Spaniards swept their rst-round games, eliminated World Cup champion Italy in a penaltykicks shootout in the quarternals, then routed Russia 3-0 in the seminals. We played the best for the entire tournament and we beat some great teams, Torres said. We beat Italy, the World Cup champion, and we beat Russia and now Germany. That is how you become champion. Germany has won three Euros and three World Cups, but was no match in this nal. Captain Michael Ballack, questionable before the game with a calf injury, started, but hardly was noticeable except when he left for sev-
eral minutes to have a bloody right eye treated. We had a great tournament, but made one mistake too many, Ballack said. We were lacking of power against a great Spanish team. We couldnt keep up with them. Torres, who had 33 goals for Liverpool this season but has been invisible in Euros, came through off a brilliant feed from Xavi Hernandez. Germany goalkeeper Jens Lehmann, at 38 the oldest player in the competition, charged from his net when he saw that defender Philipp Lahm was beaten on the right side. But Torres chipped the ball over the sliding Lehmann and into the gaping goal. The crowd of 51,428 at Ernst Happel Stadium, split almost equally between Germany and Spain, might have expected the Spaniards to go into a protective shell. Instead, and even without leading scorer David Villa (leg injury), they continued to carry the attack and were far more dangerous than Germany the rest of the way. Indeed, Lehmann, who helped the Germans to third place in the 2006 World Cup, kept it close with several tough saves. This was the last game for 69-year-old Aragones, the oldest coach to win the Euros. The most important thing about our team, perhaps, is the manager, Torres said. He has condence in us and he lets us play. We have brought him the championship in his last game for Spain and we are very happy we could make this history for him and for us.

Kurt Busch gets rain-shortened victory

By Mike harris
LOUDON, N.H. Kurt Busch had strategy and luck on his side. Tony Stewart had neither. Thats how Busch wound up ending his 29-race winless string Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the rain-shortened Lenox Industrial Tools 301, while the frustrated Stewart simply added another disheartening loss to his own winless string that has reached 31 races. Sometimes you just dont win em the right way, Busch said. I think we can honestly say that, but we had a lot of work and a lot of effort put in today and well take it. It is the rst victory for the Penske Racing driver since September at California Speedway, and it came on a day when two-time Cup champion Stewart dominated, leading 132 of 284 laps, only to see the hard luck that has dogged him all season continue. Busch hasnt had much to celebrate this season, either. Since nishing second to teammate Ryan Newman in the seasonopening Daytona 500, the 2004 Cup champion had nished in the top 10 only once and came into this event 22nd in the points. But Sunday turned out to be his day, thanks to crew chief Pat Trysons decision to keep his No. 2 Dodge on track when Stewart and several other lead cars pitted during a late caution period. When rain eventually ended the race 17 laps short, with the eld under a red ag on pit road, Busch had his 18th career victory and
Stewart was an unhappy 13th. Ive been on the ipside of it plenty of times, Busch said. Theres those times when you just grit your teeth and go, Kurt Busch What could we have done different? Why did it happen this way? So it isnt pretty, but well take it. Thats the beauty of Sprint Cup racing is the competition level is always at its best. Sometimes the guys that have fast race cars dont win because they got outdueled in the pits with pit strategy. You take em when you can get em because you get burned plenty of times the other way. Runner-up Michael Waltrip, who had not nished better than 23rd this season, used the same strategy as Busch. The two-time Daytona 500 winner said he was hoping the race would go to the end because he believed he had a faster car than Busch. But Busch believed he could hold the top spot. I felt like it was going to be a great duel down to the end with everybody on old tires, everybody would have been slipping and sliding, Busch said. I felt we had track position and I felt like my re and desire was going to overcome anything today to get into Victory Lane. Once I saw that we were leading and we were out in front with 26 (laps) to go, that good old Kurt Busch jumped up on the wheel and I

told myself, Dont let your team down. This is what you live for. This is what you race for, and that is to get into Victory Lane. Tryson said Busch could have won even if the rain hadnt been cut short. To be honest, we were rooting for it not to rain because we had the fuel milage to make it to the end and the other guys were going to have to pit, so we werent really counting on the rain, he said. It just kind of worked out that they all pitted there and then it rained. But it could have worked out the other way, too. Stewart, who dominated the second half of the race on the 1.058mile oval, held off a challenge from two-time reigning Cup champion Jimmie Johnson late in the race and appeared on the way to his rst victory since August at Watkins Glen, N.Y. But Stewart and most of the other drivers who had been racing at the front of the pack did not have enough gas to get to the end. On lap 271, Dale Earnhardt Jr., who had been in the top 10 all day, started toward pit road and was hit from behind by Jamie McMurray, who then spun into David Ragan, bringing out a caution. Stewart and the rest of the frontrunners pitted under the ensuing yellow ag, while Busch and seven other drivers who had pitted more recently than the leaders, stayed on track.
Vegas casino: Lawsuit against NBA was mistake

By Oskar Garcia
LAS VEGAS A luxury casino on the Las Vegas Strip said the NBA should not have been included in a $50,000 lawsuit led this month for an unpaid convention bill from 2007 All-Star Week, a casino spokeswoman said Sunday. Jennifer Dunne of the Wynn Las Vegas said the lawsuit seeking pay-
ment from the NBA and a players charity should have only been led against Alonzo Mourning Charities, Inc., not against NBA Entertainment and NBA Properties. Dunne said an administrative error led to the mistake, and it would be promptly corrected Monday morning. The casino alleges in the lawsuit filed June 16 in Clark County District Court that the charity used
convention and meeting space for a fundraiser during the All-Star Week. According to a fan Web site for the Miami Heat player and an online promotional video, a charity billiards tournament and silent auction were held at Wynn Las Vegas on Feb. 15, 2007. Alonzo Mourning Charities did not immediately respond to a phone call seeking comment from the Associated Press late Sunday.
Mournings nonprofit organization focuses on the educational development of youth by developing programs and youth enrichment centers that promote positive change in low socioeconomic communities, according to the charitys Web site. Mourning, a 15-year veteran of the league, ended his season last year in December with severe knee and leg injuries. He at rst said he
intended to retire but has since said hed like to play one more year. His contract with the Heat ends Monday. Wynn Las Vegas last month recovered a $400,000 gambling debt from retired basketball star Charles Barkley after ling a lawsuit. After the media reported on the lawsuit, Barkley quickly repaid the debt, plus $40,000 in district attorneys fees for the case.

U.S.men CRITERIUM nowhere at Wimbledon

By Steven Wine
WIMBLEDON, England Rafael Nadal has helped his nation cure its longtime aversion to lawn tennis, and hell be one of three Spanish men playing Monday in the fourth round at Wimbledon. Switzerland, France, Russia and Croatia have two players apiece among the nal 16. Britain, which last won the mens singles Rafael Nadal title in 1936, advanced one man to the second week, as did Australia, Germany, Serbia and even the island of Cyprus. And the United States? None. The nation that produced Andre Agassi, Don Budge, Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Pete Sampras and Bill Tilden nds itself in a collective slump. And theres no sign of a turnaround. Weve been struggling for a long time, and it has just gotten worse, said Gene Mayer, a former top-ve player who coaches privately in New York. We just are producing no players. For the rst time since 1926, only one U.S. male No. 102-ranked Bobby Reynolds reached the third round at Wimbledon. He lost Friday. The problem isnt grass. At last years French Open, American men went 0-9, their worst showing on the Roland Garros clay in at least 40 years. The last U.S. male to win a major title was Andy Roddick at the U.S. Open in 2003. The drought is less noticeable on the womens side only because of the Williams sisters, who have combined for 14 major titles. They and Bethanie Mattek were the lone Americans to survive the first week at Wimbledon. American men went 5-12. Eight lost in the rst round, including Olympians Sam Querrey and Robby Ginepri. Andy Roddick and James Blake lost in the second round. Poor Reynolds, delighted to equal his best Grand Slam result at age 25, was left to explain why U.S. fortunes continue to decline.
while positioning themselves solidly in the peloten, conserve their energy by getting in the slipstream of other riders before positioning themselves near the front with a couple of laps to go and sprint to the nish. Even though Hipp had no teammates in the event, he had friends from other teams who helped him get to the end. So what was the difference this time? It takes a little bit of luck, a little positioning and strength, Hipp said. You have to have the power. Experience plays a big role, too. Ive been doing this for 25 years. Ive raced against Lance Armstrong and Greg Lemond. Cycling for this long, you know how to position yourself, so today I didnt need any teammates its nice to have them though. Anna Woldring can attest to that. The San Francisco resident captured the womens pro 1-2-3 race, winning by a couple of bike lengths. As part of the Code 3 Racing team, which is in its rst year of competition, Woldring brought home the teams rst win in the pro category. It was also her rst victory at this level; last year here she won the category 4 race. Sundays win unfolded perfectly for Woldring, who was born and raised in the Netherlands before coming to America two years ago. Woldring was in the breakaway group with half a lap to go before making her move. A couple of cyclists blocked for her, she in turn got pulled to the front and from there it was up to her to power to the nish line. The 43cyclist field included 2004 Olympian Christine Thorburn, who pulled off an impressive double, nishing 59th in the mens pro

race before lining up for the womens event. Despite the big names in the eld, no one could hang with Woldring. Its a huge deal, Woldring said. This is the rst win of our season and being a brand new team, it makes it all the more enjoying. Woldring started racing when she was 11 but took a 10-year break from competition starting in her late teens. After arriving in the states she displayed her talent and potential, moving up from category 4 to her current position as a category 2 in under two years. Sundays victory showed Woldring, 30, is hitting her stride at the perfect time (27-31 is an athletes prime cycling years). While there were no crashes in the more experienced pro races, there were plenty of mishaps in three other events: mens elite 3, elite 4 and masters 45-65. Among the more serious encounters included one rider crashing into a pole and being sent to the hospital and another cyclist breaking his collarbone. Then there was the Ryan Phua Memorial Kids Ride, which drew a record-breaking 800 riders. The most popular race of the Burlingame Criterium is dedicated to the memory of Ryan Phua, who died in his sleep at the age of 2 in July of 2003. Ryans father, John, got involved in the Lance Armstrong foundation in 1997 after being diagnosed and later beating testicular cancer. Proceeds of the 12-and-under ride for kids benet the Lance Armstrong Foundation and his last start. Its kind of hard not to be frustrated, Blanton said. It was just another standard day for me. I felt well going out but the numbers looked like crap by the end of the day. Its like its over before you know it. Thats how its been this season for me. Blanton set down the rst 10 hitters he faced and then allowed nine of the nal 11 batters to reach base. He was locating the ball the rst three innings, As manager Bob Geren said. But then it seemed like they got some balls over the plate and linked some hits together. The Giants batted around in each the fourth and fifth innings. Bengie Molina, Aaron Rowand and Jose Castillo also drove in runs. Key hits, thats what it takes, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. It all starts on the mound and we just got things rolling. The As won seven straight and 10 of 11 from their rivals before the Giants won the last
the Ryan Phua Memorial Fund supporting cancer-related programs in the Bay Area. The variety of events, tough competition and hundreds of people lining up along the course showed why the Burlingame Criterium is one of the premier races in the state. The event is unique in that it takes place in the heart of a vibrant downtown community amid much fanfare. I love this race, Hipp said. Its not often you get to race in a venue like this. The last lap I could barely hear myself it was so loud. A lot of times were racing in industrial parks because its easier to clear the streets. This race is way up when it comes to having a great atmosphere. At the end of his cool-down lap, Hipp smiled and told the P.A. announcer, You see, old guys can win every now and then. With a superb effort, Hipp was able to recapture some of his past glory. My racing heyday was 15 years ago, Hipp said. Now Im racing against guys half my age. I guarantee you I was the oldest guy in the eld. At my age (on race day) you dont know if youre going to feel good or bad. Today, I had it. Did he ever.

much else, allowing four hits over seven innings. After the homer, Sanchez retired 16 of the next 18 batters he faced. He walked one and struck out six. Im more comfortable with getting on top of the ball in my delivery, Sanchez said. Im getting ahead of guys and getting better with my command. Sergio Romo and Jack Taschner each pitched a scoreless inning to complete the four-hitter. Blanton (4-11) lost for the fth time in six starts. He gave up seven runs and eight hits in four-plus innings, walking one and striking out three. Hes given up 16 runs over his last 14 innings, and that includes a one-run, four-hit effort over seven innings in
two games, taking a series from the As for the rst time since May 19-21, 2006, also in Oakland. Aurilia drove in ve runs for the fth time, and the rst since June 7, 2006.

As RHP Brad Ziegler has yet to allow a run in his 13 innings, the longest streak by an Oakland pitcher at the start of his career since Jeff Jones went 13 1-3 innings in 1980. ... Durham had two doubles in a game for the rst time since Sept. 29, 2006. ... Blanton has given up 14 runs in his last 14 innings against the Giants. ... The Giants nished their third consecutive road trip with a winning record for the rst time since 2003. ... As 2B Mark Ellis is batting an AL-low .193 at home this season.

Perry wins Buick Open

By Larry Lage
GRAND BLANC, Mich. Kentucky, Kenny Perry is coming home. Perry shot a 6-under 66 on Sunday to win the Buick Open by a stroke at 19 under, likely locking up a spot on the Ryder Cup team that will face Europe at Valhalla about 40 miles from his birthplace. Im ecstatic, he said. It really wont sink in until Im actually putting on the red, white and blue. Perry was amazed he won at Warwick Hills for a second time because Woody Austin closed with consecutive bogeys to blow the tournament and Bubba Watson just missed a 12-footer that wouldve forced a playoff. While Perry was on the driving range, he backed into earning $900,000. I still cant believe I won, he said. I feel like I need to go make a birdie out there to win. Austin and Watson shot 68s. The 47-year-old Perry joined Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson as the only multiple winners this year on the PGA Tour, became the oldest player to win at Warwick Hills and joined a short list of multiple champions in the event. Vijay Singh has three Buick Open titles, while Tiger Woods, Julius Boros, Tony Lema and now Perry have two in the tournament that celebrated its 50th anniversary. Its always nice to have your name associated with the greats of the game, Perry said. Im just
hanging onto the shirttails. Im the guy thats going to get their clubs out of the trunks of their car. Austin sounded like he wanted to hide in a trunk. He became the leader by curling a 9-footer in at the 16th, then fell back into a tie by missing a 13-foot putt for par on the next hole. Austin three-putted from 63 feet to close the tournament and put Perry ahead. I threw it away, said Austin, whose demonstrative ways led him to cup a ball and slam it against the wood board marking the 7th tee. I didnt hit the ball close enough to the hole the last two holes to counteract my yips. Ive got to gure it out or Id better quit. Watson had a chance to force a 73rd hole despite a hooked tee shot by remarkably punching the ball onto the green to set up a makable putt that he barely missed. If someone had told me that on a tight golf course Id have a putt for a playoff, Id have taken the putt and skipped the rest of the week, he said. Perry is not going to be at the British Open because he already committed to playing in Milwaukee the same week, following his decision to not attempt to qualify for the U.S. Open the day after winning the Memorial. I committed to all these tournaments before when I was ranked 100th in the world, he explained. Now all of a sudden Ive won twice, Im probably top 20 in the world now.

Park the youngest U.S.Womens Open winner

By Doug Ferguson
EDINA, Minn. Inbee Park woke up in the middle of the night 10 years ago when she heard cheering from the living room of her tiny apartment outside Seoul. Her parents were up at 3 a.m. to watch Se Ri Pak become the rst South Korean and the youngest winner of the U.S. Womens Open. The 9-year-old girl sat down with them to watch, half asleep, but denitely paying attention. When she made a putt, they were screaming, Park said. So I really could not sleep. Two days later, she placed her tiny hands around a golf club for the rst time. On Sunday, Park wrapped hands around the biggest trophy in womens golf, capturing the U.S. Womens Open at Interlachen with nearly awless golf over the nal 10 holes as everyone else melted away. I didnt know anything about golf back then, but I was watching her, Park said. It was very impressive for a little girl. I just thought that I could do it, too. Two weeks shy of her 20th birthday, Park replaced Pak as the youngest Womens Open champion. She pulled away with crucial putts on three straight holes two birdies and one par early on the back nine and added a nal birdie for a 2-under 71 and a four-shot victory over Helen Alfredsson. Park was the only player in the nal nine groups to break par. She nished at 9-under 283 and earned $585,000, then got soaked at

the end of a sunny afternoon when Jeong Jang and I.K. Kim rushed onto the green and doused her with beer. Really, I cant believe I just did this, especially with all these big names on the trophy that have been very, very successful with the golf, Park said, gazing at the silver championship trophy. Hopefully, Ill put a couple of my names on there. It will be great. It was a shocker for everyone else, but for called out for her to come back for another year. And finally they stood as one to give her a farewell that should have reduced her to tears. It didnt, perhaps because there just wasnt anything left inside to cry about. She was never the emotional sort anyway, something which may have prevented her from connecting with fans in a more personal way over the years. A day earlier, Sorenstam said she felt like crying, but that was only because her birdie putts kept missing the hole. She always seemed cold and calculating on the course, largely because that was how she needed to play to win, but she could also usually count on an emotional reserve that is much harder to find now. My tank is empty, Sorenstam said. You need adrenaline, you need energy. Its just very hard to run just on fumes. You can only take it so far. Sorenstam has been running on fumes for quite some time now, looking little like the different reasons. Alfredsson began the nal round tied with Park, two shots out of the lead and hopeful she could nally atone for her collapse 14 years ago in the Womens Open, took 35 putts in her nal round of 75. She played fantastic, said Alfredsson, who played with Park. She was very calm, never changed anything. And really, thats very impressive for a 19-year-old. Shes going player who dominated womens golf so totally that when she didnt win it came as a surprise. The game is still there, even if the burning desire isnt. Indeed, Sorenstam was the best from tee to green in the first three rounds in this Open before it all came apart on a final day when her usual laser-like drives found the rough and trees instead of the center of the fairway. She has other things in her life now, a new fiance, a golf tournament of her own, and business ventures on the side. When she announced in May that she would not play past this year it came as a shock to many but little surprise to those who could see she no longer had the drive to be the best. It was that drive that helped her win 11 tournaments in one year, be as dominate on the womens tour as Tiger Woods is on the PGA Tour, and give her the confidence to play and play well with the men. She always thought she could do better, and subscribed to the philosophy that a perfect
to win a lot more. Stacy Lewis, trying to become the rst player to win a major in her professional debut, made double bogey from 80 yards in front of the green on the par-5 second hole and staggered home to a 78 to tie for third at 288. I nished third at the U.S. Open, my rst pro event, Lewis said. Its kind of hard to be upset. Paula Creamer, who started the nal round one shot behind Lewis and said her experience of six LPGA victories would be a big advantage, made two double bogeys on the front nine for a 41 and scrambled for a 78. Creamers nal round scoring average in the U.S. Womens Open is 75.2. Its probably the most disappointed Ive been in a very long time, she said. No one imagined the only drama on the back nine would come from Annika Sorenstam, who was never in contention competing in her nal Womens Open before retirement at the end of the season. Her nal shot was a 6-iron from 199 yards that tumbled into the cup for eagle. Leaving with another great memory, thats for sure, Sorenstam said after closing with a 78 to nish 12 shots behind in a tie for 24th. Maybe not the one I had in mind, but Ill take it. Such highlights were rare for everyone else. Park was the only player to break par all four days at Interlachen, a course that showed its strength in the nal round with 20 mph wind that made it tough to keep on the right side of the hole. round of 18 birdies on a golf course was entirely possible. Sorenstam never had that round, but she came close. She is the only woman to shoot a 59 competitively, and still plays a special Callaway ball with that number stamped on it. Shell go down as the best of her time, but is not ready to have her career obituary written just quite yet. Shes got one more major and another eight or nine tournaments left as she plays out the string this year. After that, its goodbye, though Sorenstam insisted she was not looking for a victory tour or one last lap around the world when she announced her retirement. She leaves with enough Open memories to last a lifetime, both good and bad. Shes won three of them, but lost at least that many that she thought she should have won. This may have been one of them, though she had nothing left in her when she really needed it. The only consolation was she was able to make one more special memory at the end.
OPEN
yards from the last hole of a championship that helped define her career. With a 6-iron in her hand, she needed to get up-and-down just to avoid embarrassing herself by not being able to break 80 Then the player who had always dreamed of a perfect day on the golf course got the next best thing a perfect ending to her Open career. The shot sailed majestically toward the green, bounced once just in front and a few more times before sliding into the right side of the hole. From the fairway, Sorenstam heard the roar grow as the ball got closer and dropped into the hole for an eagle 3. She had saved her best for last. And the fans, it seems, had saved their love for last. They cheered her as she walked up the fairway arm-in-arm with her caddie. They

Guards kill female suicide bomber

By Sebastian Abbot
BAGHDAD Iraqi guards opened re on a female suicide bomber on Sunday and triggered her explosives belt before she reached their headquarters, foiling the latest of more than 20 suicide missions by women this year, military ofcials said. The bomber was targeting the headquarters of an awakening council Sunni volunteers who have turned against insurgents about 60 miles northeast of Baghdad. One of the guards was wounded in the blast, the Iraqi military said. The number of female suicide attackers has risen from eight in 2007 to more than 20 so far this year, according to U.S. military gures. Including Sundays attack, at least nine have occurred in Diyala province, a former al-Qaida stronghold where the extremist group is trying to regroup after setbacks last year. A female suicide bomber struck outside a government complex a week ago in Baqouba, the capital of Diyala province, killing at least 15 people and wounding more than 40, according to U.S. and Iraqi ofcials. The attacks are part of an uptick in violence against Iraqi security forces and local administrations. A truck bomb detonated by remote control Sunday killed six policemen and an awakening council member in Duluiyah, some 45 miles north of Baghdad, said police Col.

In other violence, gunmen killed the head of Basras intelligence department Saturday in a drive-by shooting in eastern Baghdad, local police said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. Brig. Gen. Jabar Musaid, who played a leading role in the recent government crackdown against Shiite militias in Basra, was visiting relatives in a neighborhood controlled by militiamen loyal to radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Asked about the uptick in violence, U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker said that Iraqi militants remain resilient and determined despite an overall improvement in the security situation.

Israeli Cabinet approves Hezbollah prisoner deal

By Aron Heller
JERUSALEM The Israeli government agreed Sunday to free a Lebanese gunman convicted in one of the grisliest attacks in the countrys history in exchange for the bodies of two Israeli soldiers killed by Hezbollah guerrillas. The German-mediated deal was a rare political victory for embattled Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and closed a chapter from Israels inconclusive war against the Lebanese militant group two years ago.
But critics warned that the deals heavy price for Israel could offer militant groups an even greater incentive to kill captive soldiers. In Lebanon Sunday, Hezbollah declared victory and planned celebrations. Israels Cabinet voted 22-3 Ehud Olmert to OK the deal to return the bodies of Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, captured by Hezbollah in a July 2006 cross-border raid that sparked a vicious monthlong war.
Before a six-hour Cabinet debate, Olmert announced for the rst time that the soldiers were dead. He nevertheless pushed for the deal to be approved, citing the countrys deep moral commitment to its dead and captive soldiers. Since we were children, we have been taught that we dont leave wounded in the eld and we dont leave soldiers in captivity without doing all we can to free them, he said. Israel will also receive the remaining body parts of its soldiers from the Lebanon war and a thorough Hezbollah report about Ron Arad, a missing Israeli airman whose plane crashed in Lebanon in 1986.
PESHAWAR, Pakistan Pakistani paramilitary forces destroyed a handful of militant centers and uncovered alleged torture cells as they pressed ahead Sunday with an offensive against extremists near the Afghan border, ofcials said. A spokesman for Pakistans top Taliban commander promised Sunday that militants would retaliate against the government, and were suspending efforts to reach and implement peace deals. The operation in the Khyber tribal area is a shift for Pakistans new government, which has sought to reduce violence through the peace deals. But with extremists increasingly threatening Peshawar, a major northwest city, and ambushing supply convoys bound for U.S.-led coalition troops in Afghanistan, the government turned to its troops. The paramilitary Frontier Corps killed one attacker but encountered relatively little resistance since launching the operation Saturday, ofcials said. Troops, backed by tanks and armored personnel carriers, quickly cleared militants out of Khybers Bara region, said Muhammad Siddiq Khan, a local ofcial. They then moved into areas outside Bara.

his weeks tip comes from family friend Jennifer C. whose growing puppy realized he can jump over the fence. Jennifer and her husband replaced an old fence with a new, 6-foot-high one, but Houdini (not his real name!) still managed to get over it. Houdinis owners are doing everything right. First, they pretended to leave in the morning, and then spied on him to conrm how he was escaping. Sure enough, it was straight over the top, with no assistance from anything other than his strong legs and will. Next, they moved him into doggie day care during the week until they can gure out a permanent x. So, why do dogs jump? For some, its out of boredom. For others, fear. Some may be attracted to something on the other side; for Houdini, it was the dog next door. Houdinis neutered, by the way, which is another tip. A xed dog is much less likely to roam. Same goes for a tired dog. Many breeds need a brisk walk in the morning and evening, plus a midday visit from a professional dog walker. A tired dog is a well-behaved dog. Still, a wellexercised and well-loved dog may continue jumping. One solution is a taller fence. Or, add an anti-climbing device to the top of the fence. Line the top with cheap PVC pipe by running heavy wire through it so the PVC pipe rolls when touched. Imagine those contests where people try to get traction and run on logs in the water. Even if your dog can reach the top of the fence, hell nd it difcult to go over when he rolls along your new fence-topper. After unsuccessful attempts, hell tire of his old trick.

WALL-E,Wanted team up to dominate weekend box office
By David Germain
LOS ANGELES A lonely little robot made millions of friends during the weekend and even outgunned Angelina Jolie. WALL-E, the Pixar Animation tale of a robot toiling away on a long-abandoned Earth, debuted as the No. 1 movie with $62.5 million in ticket sales, with Jolies assassin thriller Wanted opening in second place with $51.1 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The two movies combined to keep Hollywood on a roll. The top 12 movies took in $179.2 million, up 22 percent from the same weekend last year, when Pixars Ratouille opened with $47 million.
It was the fth straight weekend that revenues climbed. Revenues for the summer season that began May 2 are up 6 percent over last years record pace, according to boxoffice tracker Media By Numbers. The sour economy and Angelina Jolie high gas prices may be helping to fuel Hollywoods boom, said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Media By Numbers.

Japanese game shows come to U.S.

Steven Tyler:Rehab was for meds
NEW YORK Steven Tyler sought the safe environment of rehab last month to recover from more than just surgery the Aerosmith frontman now says was ghting a dependency on pain and sleep medication. To have your feet done, to have your leg done, you have to be on narcotics, Tyler told the Associated Press on Friday. You have to be on sleep aids at night. I dont know about Joe (Perry) but I was off and running and I didnt like the me that was me. Tyler released a statement in late May saying he checked into a rehab facility in search of a safe environment to recover from several Steven Tyler foot surgeries and physical therapy. Tyler said the procedures were to correct longtime foot injuries resulting from his physical performances as the singer for the bluesrock band. This was a month ago, so I just put the brakes on and checked into detox and just pulled the plug on all of it, he told the AP on Friday night at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square, where he and bandmates were promoting Guitar Hero 3: Aerosmith. The 60-year-old was known for heavy drug and alcohol abuse in the 1970s and early 1980s, but completed rehabilitation in 1986, after which Aerosmith enjoyed a successful revival.

Another man, dressed like an insect, ings himself onto a giant-sized windshield with a giant-sized splat. Is American television going crazy? No American television is going Japanese. With the increasing popularity of YouTube clips from Japanese game shows such as Endurance, Hole in the Wall and Human Tetris, U.S. networks never shy about imitation are bringing similar antics to their prime-time schedules. On Tuesday, ABC is airing back-toback premieres of Wipeout (8 p.m EDT) and I Survived a Japanese Game Show (9 p.m. EDT), with a domestic edition of Hole in the Wall coming this fall on Fox. Its going to be like nothing that American audiences have ever seen on network television, says I Survived host Tony Sano. Indeed, Americans, accustomed to such family-friendly game shows as Jeopardy!, The Price is Right and Deal or No Deal will likely nd the new shows somewhat jolting. Then again, thats the idea. There is a great desire to shock over there, notes Hole in the Wall executive producer Stuart Krasnow. Ironically, were more puritan over here. But the Japanese will shock to any extreme.

But for sheer zaniness, I Survived executive producers Arthur Smith and Kent Weed have gone all-out weird. We watched hundreds of hours of Japanese shows and looked for all of the consistent themes, says Smith, whether its being dizzy, use of treadmills, falling into water. We took those elements and then designed new games around them, with a little help from Japanese game show producers to make the stunts more ... well, Japanese. I Survived moves two teams of ve unsuspecting American contestants who, by the way, didnt know they were going to Japan into a house in Tokyo. The teams compete in bizarre games, with the winning crew in each round getting a reward, such as a VIP tour around Tokyo, while the losers suffer a punishment, such as having to haul rickshaws around Tokyo. They then vote their two worst teammates into an elimination game, such as Splat On a Windshield. By now, youre probably picking up that the most consistent themes in Japanese game shows are humiliation and embarrassment sometimes to the point of sadistic which oddly enough can serve as stress relief for conservative Japanese.

Reports:Model dies in fall from NYC building

NEW YORK A European Vogue cover model fell to her death from her Manhattan apartment building Saturday in an apparent suicide, published reports said. Ruslana Korshunova, 20, died around 2:30 p.m. in a fall from a building on Water Street, in Manhattans Financial District, The New York Post, the Daily News and Newsday reported. The newspapers cited unnamed ofcials and police. Police said the fall was under investigation. Korushnovas New York agency and a spokeswoman for medical examiners did not immediately return telephone messages. Originally from the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan, the almond-eyed, owing-haired Korshunova appeared in advertisements and on runways for such designers as Marc Jacobs, Nina Ricci and DKNY. British Vogue hailed her as a face to be excited about in 2005. Her break came when modeling booker Debbie Jones noticed her while perusing an in-ight magazine article about Korushnovas hometown of Almaty, according to the Vogue report.

That might have a little something to do with this, as well. The previous weekends No. 1 movie, the Warner Bros. comedy Get Smart, slipped to third place with $20 million, raising its total to $77.3 million. WALL-E maintains the perfect track record of Pixar, the Walt Disney unit that has made nine lms, all of them critical and commercial successes, including Cars, Monsters, Inc. and the Toy Story icks. Finding Nemo and The Incredibles put up the biggest opening-weekend numbers among Pixar movies, both pulling in just over $70 million. Set centuries in the future, WALLE is the story of a rickety, walking trash compactor that humans left running after abandoning the over-polluted planet. The movie overcame a dialogue challenge the two main robot characters barely speak, beyond each others names using wildly inventive visuals and sound effects to propel much of the story. Like other Pixar lms, WALL-E packed in family crowds, as well as adults without children. The real secret is theyre not childrens movies. Theyre movies for everybody. Children absolutely adore them, but parents enjoy them on a different level, said Mark Zoradi, president of Disneys motion-picture group. You cant be nine-for-nine like Pixar is without that.
Wantedstars Angelina Jolie as a member of a secret society of assassins whose new recruit is trained to use his superhuman abilities to take out a rogue killer.
The G-rated WALL-E was complemented by Jolies R-rated Wanted, which distributor Universal originally planned to release back in March. The studio decided the movie was too good to release at a slower moviegoing time and moved it to summer on a weekend when competition for a violent action tale would be light. reects well on ones family, Smith says of the Japanese. Their games are all about saving face. When you dont do good, youve harmed your family you dont look good in your familys eyes. All this is very different from American game shows, where players are generally treated with respect, no matter how gooly they behave. Treating our contestants well is our bread and butter, says The Price Is Right executive producer Syd Vinnedge. For us, the contestants, and therefore the audience, are the stars of the show. Hosts of U.S. game shows, such as Drew Carey, laugh with nutty contestants, not at them. The American host, Krasnow explains, is there to comfort the losing contestant, to put a silver lining on a contestant who feels bad. In Thurman, did not immediately return phone and e-mail messages from The Associated Press on Friday. The pair apparently began dating last summer after attending a private dinner together in Milan, Italy. Busson surprised Thurman with the ring this week in London, where the couple attended the 90th birthday party for Nelson Mandela, We knew WALL-E would be huge, but its not the same audience as Wanted, said Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal. Wanted stars Jolie as a member of a secret society of assassins whose new recruit (James McAvoy) is trained to use his superhuman abilities to take out a rogue killer. Japan, its not like that its shock for shocks sake. If they feel bad, who cares? And unlike Japan, U.S. game show contestants are typically chosen for their likeability. We place a lot of emphasis on casting, says David Goldberg, president of Endemol Entertainment, which produces Deal or No Deal and the upcoming Wipeout. We think its really important to have people playing the game that we relate to and have a genuine interest in seeing them win. One thing thats true in both the U.S. and Japan there doesnt seem to be a shortage of people who are willing to do just about anything in front of a camera. Ninety-ve percent of the world are voyeurs, and 5 percent of the world are exhibitionists, says Krasnow. Thank God for the 5 percent.
SHOWS
they have for release, where they can actually let go and not be conservative anymore, notes Weed. Krasnow agrees. While U.S. game show contestants are in it for the cash and prizes, he says the motivation is far different for the Japanese player. Its true escapism, he notes. It allows them to really not be that proper person who just ts in all the time. Their culture is really about not being the loud one in the room and not being noticed. So for them to stand out is funny in and of itself. To make it through such torture also

and attention in the year ahead. The first one pertains to a special endeavor youre trying to achieve, and the second has to do with developing a good social life. Things look good in both cases.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If your inclinations are to generate more income, give full expression to these urges. Your instincts to do all the correct things in order to make more money are right on the mark. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont be reluctant to step forward if you see that a current project is in a great deal of trouble. Your services will be greatly appreciated. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Just because youre plagued with self-doubt about plans youre formulating doesnt mean theyre not good ones. Discuss your ideas with those you trust, because their endorsement will relieve your fears. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you search a bit further, better ways can be found to advance a new endeavor that has attracted your attention. A knowledgeable friend or colleague can offer some good advice. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Instead of sitting idly by waiting for something to happen, use your initiative to make your goals a reality. No one can do it better.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- At first, you might interpret a major change over which you have absolutely no control to be nothing but trouble and a giant loss. However, before the day is out, things will prove to be a big positive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Theres a strong possibility that you will experience a bit of heat from some of your friends for standing up for another pal they dont like.

Woe to those who try to block your path once you get rolling. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- There are times when it is necessary to go out on the limb to pick the fruit. Dont hesitate to take a well-calculated gamble if you think its worthwhile and you have nothing to lose. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- After a struggle, you and your mate will more than likely end up in harmony on a major issue that has far-reaching effects. Consolidation is what makes it possible. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Although you might have much to criticize others for, youll be smart enough to set the proper example so theyll see why they should change their ways. Youll find theres no need to be contentious. Copyright 2008, Newspaper Enterprise Assn.

A SALES CAREER
We welcome you to Join the Family
When we say "join the family," we really mean it. It's not just corporate doublespeak designed to hide layers of bureaucracy and an out of town ownership that treats you like a number.
It means working with a locally-owned business with roots in the community.

The San Mateo Daily Journal is seeking sales pros to join our team. We're looking for men and women with strong work ethics and unbeatable positive attitudes. As an account executive with the Daily Journal, your goal will be to help other businesses succeed while achieving a high level of financial and business success using the following tools: -- The San Mateo Daily Journal's suite of print advertising, inserts, special sections, and sponsorships -- smdailyjournal.com online advertising -- Parenting on the Peninsula, a monthly publication for local parents -- DJ Designer graphic design and marketing services -- And more to come Some sales experience is required. Newspaper experience is useful, but not mandatory. College degree is helpful, but not required. If any of this sounds good, send us a resume and let's talk. We want to grow our family. Maybe with you.

Allowing a vote on the project is better than overhauling the entire city charter, Foust said. Again, the idea is only one being considered by the City Council. Foust hopes residents attend tonights meeting in force to help us gure this out. The proposal has sparked wars over words and tactics since the Open Space Vote Coalition announced its intention earlier this year. The bottom line and signature-verication practice is now in the cross-hairs. Redwood City is already spending thousands of dollars and ultimately will spend thousands more because the city is responsible for the related costs. Meanwhile, the group suggesting the amendment has some questions of its own about the price tag primarily why if cost is such a concern the city had more than 8,000 signatures veried by the county Elections Ofce rather than the city clerk. If the city cant afford this, why did they do it this way? They had a choice, said David Lewis, executive director of Save the Bay and member of the Open Space Vote Coalition. According to Elections Manager David Conney Island challenge. He kept it together, though, with the help of fruit punch. A common technique among competitive eaters is to dip the hot dog buns in water to help them go down easier and take less room in the stomach. Ross twist includes water and fruit punch. Anything goes down easier with fruit punch, he said. Ross traveled from his Southern California home to Dallas for a qualifying competition last week. He ate more hot dogs there, but didnt win the spot at Fridays competition. He knows the odds are against him. After all, he was competing Saturday in the home territory of San Joses Joey Chestnut, the current champion. Chestnut downed 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes last year and became the rst hot dog eating challenge. Six-year-old Charlie Delisle of Morgan Hill, donned pink as she took small bites. She originally came to the mall with her mom to look at dresses. Delisle entered because she wanted a hot dog. Nerz commented about Delisles strategy of chipmunking or putting food into her cheeks as she ate. Delisle wasnt the only girl competing. Espe Rodriguez, 7, stopped by the mall with her family. They were in the area from Alameda. For Rodriguez, eating in front of an audience was the hardest part. Nine-year-old Raquel Chechopoulos from Tom, though, there was little choice. Unlike state initiatives which have random samplings veried by the county, all local measures receive full consideration by the ofce, Tom said. State measures involve a much greater number of names so random samples are more accurate. With smaller pools, random samplings can be skewed, Tom said. The Elections Ofce billed Redwood City $5,700 for the verication. The real price, according to Yamamotos staff report, come with the election. If the city consolidates it with the general November election, the city will spend approximately $45,000. If the matter requires a special election, the cost jumps to between $211,690 and $246,855. The report also lists hours of staff time devoted to the issue although no numbers are attached. For instance, the city attorney reportedly spent between one-half to twothirds of his ofce hours on the proposed measure but the report doesnt pencil out the nancial equivalent. Any lawsuits challenging the initiative American in years to win the the title. Hes sort of a hero in these parts. Chestnut, 23, made a short appearance Saturday at Tanforan. He signed paper Nathans hot dog hats and posed for pictures. Im a really big fan, Joey. Were all rooting for you, one woman said. The hometown glory doesnt translate to dollar signs for Chestnut, who admits he gets no love when it comes to corporate sponsorships. He works construction by day. Just because sponsors arent serious, doesnt mean Chestnuts not. Hes in serious training, eating only hot dogs for solid food meals. Hell fast for two and a half days at a time and drink lots of water to expand his muscles. He will start fasting Tuesday to defend his title on Friday. Millbrae was also scared. More than she was scared, Chechopoulos was hungry giving her the courage to take the stage. Her family had stumbled upon the competition while at the mall. She planned to stay for the rest of the competition. San Mateo resident Daniel Peterson, on the other hand, came to Tanforan specically to see the master eaters compete. When given the chance to become part of the action, the 9year-old wasted no time. Besides, he was hungry. Hector Montes from Gilroy, 12, entered the competition in hopes of getting a Yankee jersey. The tables of hot dogs were set up next to

SPACE
held areas of land: Cargill salt ponds; Docktown Marina; marsh land south of Galveston Drive, adjacent to Redwood Creek; wetland area of the Preserve at Redwood Shores; and Oracles parcel along Belmont slough. Although the measure would have farreaching effects, the initiative was sparked by the pending Cargill saltworks plan. The Cargill site, approximately the size of the Presidio in San Francisco, is the largest untouched land parcel on the Bay and the subject of intense scrutiny for more than a year as developers, the city and the public grapple with its future. Another suggestion to avoid a city charter amendment, Foust said, is an initiative specific to Cargill asking voters to decide its future. While Foust said it still isnt ideal, no other parcel is as large and a number of residents have an interest in what happens there.
could easily amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Foust believes questions about the citys actions are just a way to divert attention away from the actual issue. She also believes the group is misleading by continuing to call this an open space vote rather than a city charter amendment. The same argument was made by the newly-announced Citizens to Protect Redwood City, a group that opposes the charter amendment initiative. Chair Cherlene Wright questioned tactics of petition signature gatherers and believes the group is purposely focusing on the words open space to mislead the community. Lewis called the claims ridiculous and said the group isnt hiding anything. Everything weve said is in writing, in the petition and in the fact sheets, Lewis said. It didnt take much effort to convince people to sign this.

GLORY
The nal spot in the contest was awarded Saturday during an qualifying eat-off at the Shops at Tanforan in San Bruno. Kevin Ross, 26, of Temecula, Calif., took home the trophy and will travel to New York for Fridays faceoff of internationally known superstar eaters. Most of it, honestly, is mental. If someone would have pushed me harder, I would have eaten more, Ross said between hot dog infused post-game burps. Ross downed 22 hot dogs and at times he looked like he might reverse - to borrow a term from last years ESPN broadcast of the
His goal is to eat the same amount, 66 hot dogs, in two less minutes. This years contest runs 10 minutes instead of the usual 12. Hes nervous, but not worried. Hes ready to take on his top competition, Takeru Kobayashi, of Japan. The former champion met Chestnut chew for chew last year, but lost by a few bites and likely made ESPN history for the number of slow motion reruns of someone regurgitating their own food. He blamed his poor performance on a jaw problem before the competition. Im going to do my best. Im not worried about him or his jaw, Chestnut said.

petitors the title of neatest hot dog eater. Emcee Ryan Nerz, of Major League Eating, had to convince the young fans to brave the stage in the gurgitation competition. I believe the children are our future; out there eating lunch and eating dinner, he said. Eye of the Tiger began to play in the background as four children stepped onto the stage. In all, seven children took the
a sports clothing store. Montes mom said he could get it if he tried. He kept his dog plain, making the challenge of eating neatly a bit easier. While Montes wasnt scared to enter, it was strange to eat in front of so many strangers, he said. All the children were given a classic wedge cap to wear while eating. After completing the hot dog, each was also given a goody bag with a beach ball, glasses and other fun toys.

Clark: McCain lacks experience

Election brief
McCain meets with evangelist Billy Graham
MONTREAT, N.C. John McCain met Sunday with evangelist Billy Graham and his son, Franklin, at the familys mountaintop retreat. T h e Republican presidential candidate, who is Billy Graham actively courting religious voters and trying to reassure skeptical conservatives, visited privately with the Grahams on the grounds of Little Piney Cove in the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina. We had a very excellent conversation. I appreciated the opportunity to visit with them, McCain said after the 45-minute meeting. McCains visit to North Carolina was his rst sit-down with Billy Graham, 89, and with Franklin Graham, although McCain and the elder Graham are acquainted. McCains father and Billy Graham also knew each other.
WASHINGTON Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, a former Democratic presidential candidate now supporting Barack Obama, said Sunday John McCains military service does not automatically qualify him to be commander in chief. Underscoring during a national television appearance a position he has been expressing for several weeks, Clark said performing heroic military service is not a substitute for gaining command experience. In the matters of national security policy making, its a matter of understanding risk, he said on CBS Face the Nation. Its a matter of gauging your opponents and its a matter of being held accountable. John McCains never done any of that in his ofcial positions. I certainly honor his service as a prisoner of war. He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands and mil-
lions of others in the armed forces, as a prisoner of war. He has been a voice on the Senate Armed S e r v i c e s Committee and he has traveled Wesley Clark all over the world, but he hasnt held executive responsibility, Clark said. That large squadron in the Navy that he commanded that wasnt a wartime squadron. Moderator Bob Schieffer, who raised the issue by citing similar remarks Clark has made previously, noted that Obama hadnt had those experiences nor had he ridden in a ghter plane and been shot down. Well, I dont think riding in a ghter plane and getting shot down is a qualication to be president, Clark replied.

Candidates court Hispanic voters

By Liz Sidoti
WASHINGTON Presidential rivals John McCain and Barack Obama on Saturday vied for the support of Hispanics, beginning a four-month courtship of a pivotal voting constituency by vowing to revamp immigration policy.
I come from a border state, my dear friends. I know these issues, McCain told Hispanic elected officials. The Republican senfrom Barack Obama ator
Arizona said overhauling the countrys broken immigration system, not just securing its borders, will be my top priority. Appearing later before the same audience, Obama accused McCain of walking away from comprehensive immigration reform. The Democratic senator from Illinois said: We must assert our
values and reconcile our principles as a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws. That is a priority I will pursue from my very first day. The two spoke separately to some 700 Hispanics attending the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials conference.
