‘A little lift to the economy’

Obama signs emergency $26 billion jobs bill to halt teacher layoffs

jobs to be saved
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Some of the 16,500 teacher jobs sched-
uled to be saved in California should be in
San Mateo County, but it’s not clear yet
how many.
Over the summer, a number of teacher
contracts passed included the ability to re-
evaluate compensation or furlough days if
federal or state money became available.
“This is the best news I’ve had in a long
time,” said Ara Prigian, chapter services
consultant for the California Teachers
Association, who has helped work with
numerous districts on contracts during these
difficult economic times.
In Belmont-Redwood Shores, the money
could mean more school days.
Last week, the district and Belmont-
Redwood Shores Faculty Association
reached a tentative two-year agreement
under which teachers will take four fur-

WASHINGTON — Summoned
back from summer break, the House
on Tuesday pushed through an
emergency $26 billion jobs bill that
Democrats said would save 300,000
teachers, police and others from
election-year layoffs. President
Barack Obama immediately signed
it into law.
Lawmakers streamed back to
Washington for a one-day session as
Democrats declared a need to act
before children return to classrooms
minus teachers laid off because of
budgetary crises in states that have
been hard-hit by the recession.
Republicans saw it differently,
calling the bill a giveaway to teach-
ers’ unions and an example of
wasteful Washington spending that
voters will punish the Democrats for
in this fall’s elections. The legisla-
tion was approved mainly along
party lines by a vote of 247-161.

Competency questioned for fatal beating suspect
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Criminal proceedings are on hold for a tran-
sient accused of fatally beating an elderly
Belmont man during a home invasion robbery
while doctors decide whether he is competent.
Defense attorney Jim Thompson told the
court yesterday he does not believe his client,
Tyler James Hutchinson, 22, is able to aid in
his own defense against charges of murder
and robbery. Hutchinson is also alleged to
have committed murder during the commis-
sion of another felony which makes him eligi-
ble for either death row or life in prison with-
out parole if convicted.
Thompson’s request for a mental evaluation
came over Hutchinson’s objection. Although a
defendant can typically make decisions about
criminal proceedings, questions of competen-
cy are an attorney’s doing, said Chief Deputy
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Thompson previously butted heads with
Hutchinson over his desire for a speedy trial.
Thompson prevailed and Hutchinson has still

A paraplegic man drinking outside a San
Mateo bar head-butted a woman who
encouraged him not to imbibe on the street
and ran his wheelchair into her friend’s
shins before slashing him with a knife,
according to prosecutors.
The District Attorney’s Office originally
charged Mario Espinoza, 38, with felony
assault and battery in the May 30 incident

demeanors. The change, in part, came after

Korn died two weeks after prosecutors

allegedly entered a back window of a home on

believe he beat Korn before fleeing with his
wallet and jewelry in the man’s car.

Mario Espinoza on 25th Avenue in San

when a woman suggested he go inside for a
legal drink. The implication was that he

As the woman bent down, Espinoza

Hutchinson returned to San Mateo County
in late January. In his second court appearance
in San Mateo County, he announced wanting
to plead not guilty and that he hadn’t killed
anybody. He formally pleaded not guilty at a
subsequent appearance.
Hutchinson’s competency was questioned
in Yolo County and also in previous San
Mateo County cases. Although those evalua-
tions may play a role in the current proceed-
ings, Thompson said this case is completely
different.
“A person could be competent on Tuesday
and not on Wednesday,” he said.
More importantly, Thompson said his
client’s evaluation on the San Mateo County
misdemeanor charges may not have been
taken as seriously as necessary.
The prosecution is glad to undergo this step,
Wagstaffe said, but has no reason to believe
his condition has changed in the past year.
Hutchinson remains in custody on no-bail
status. He returns to court Aug. 17 at which
time both the prosecution and the defense will
select one doctor to conduct the evaluation.

The altercation allegedly continued with
Espinoza running in the man’s shins, get-

a 2 1/2-inch knife and getting slapped
again.
The male victim sustained a five- to
seven-inch gash just below his nipple but it
did not require stitches.
When San Mateo police arrived, prosecu-
tors say Espinoza called them names even
after one officer asked him to quiet himself
because a mother and two children were
nearby.

Elementary district to talk
long-term funding options
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Renting property, going to the voters for
money or selling assets are part of a revenue-
generating conversation that will be started by
San Bruno Park Elementary School District
officials tonight.
San Bruno Park made a number of cuts this
year resulting in reduction in library and on-
site medical services. With an anticipation of
the budget problems to continue, the Board of
Trustees will start discussing long-term fund-
ing options tonight.
It’s really a start to the conversation, said
Superintendent David Hutt, who added none
of the ideas could be implemented to supple-
ment the current school year. Planning, how-
ever, can start soon.
Initial ideas before the board include:
Selling surplus property or assets, moving the
district office to a location closer to a school to
create lease-worthy space, renting vacant
space and a parcel tax.
These are not new ideas for the district.
San Bruno previously considered putting an
$87 annual parcel tax before voters in March
2009.
In June 2008, the board had a split vote to
put the measure on the ballot to lessen the
impact on academic programs. That

Nearly a dozen Green Party candidates in

establishing single-payer health care.
The 11 statewide, legislative and congres-
sional candidates announced their support for
a so-called “Green New Deal.” The 10-point
platform also would legalize marijuana and
enact a carbon tax to reduce greenhouse gas

completely during the last
go-around.
There will be basic information breaking
down how much a parcel tax would need to be
— taking senior exemptions into considera-
tion — to generate $1 million to $10 million.
Selling property is also not a new idea, the
district sold the former Carl Sandburg site for
$30.5 million in 2005.
VB Golf, Inc. has leased the former Engvall
Middle School site at Interstate 280 for a
number of years. In 2008, a developer pitched
building single-family homes and a multi-unit
housing component on the 20-acre site at
Interstate 280. The idea never came to
fruition.
Further discussion will be needed for any
idea that interests the board.

Gambler victimized
after winning big
A woman was targeted for her gambling
winnings Monday afternoon by a man who
staged a car accident to lure her out of her
money, according to South San Francisco
police.
The victim, a San Jose resident, was pur-
posely rear-ended at a stop sign where the
driver of the other vehicle was intent on
robbing her of her money, according to
police.
The victim had won big at a local casino
and exchanged a large sum of chips into cur-
rency, which she placed in her purse, accord-
ing to police.
The suspect saw the money in the purse
and followed the victim into a parking
garage and then followed her until she
stopped at the intersection of Hillside
Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue where the
suspect struck the victim’s vehicle from
behind, according to police.
The drivers began to exchange insurance
information when the suspect tried to take
the purse. The victim, however, struggled
with the suspect before the suspect fled the
scene, according to police.
Police were able to identify the suspect
and vehicle and was arrested at his
Burlingame residence, according to police
Giovanni Luis Salazar, 23, was arrested

Man commits suicide
at Gazos Creek
A man allegedly killed himself Monday
night at Gazos Creek State Beach, according
to the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies were dispatched to the beach
after a 911 call from a male stating “there’s
a suicide on Gazos Creek,” according to the
Sheriff’s Office.
While heading to the scene, deputies were
advised that another 911 call via On-Star
was received reporting multiple gunshots

were heard coming from the beach.
Upon arrival, a deputy standing on a cliff
edge was able to see someone lying on the
beach. Deputies approached the body and
found the subject has severe bleeding from
the head and found a gun at the scene.
Medics arrived and pronounced the subject
deceased.
A witness reported that he observed the
subject dressing in a suit prior to walking
down to the beach, according to the Sheriff’s
Office.
The name of the victim is not being
released until the next of kin have been noti-
fied. Gazos Creek is south of Pescadero.

Parolee in San Mateo
police shooting sentenced
A parolee charged in a drug raid in which
a San Mateo police officer shot another sus-
pect in the heart has been sentenced to two
years and eight months in prison.
San Mateo County prosecutors said
Monday 25-year-old Hector Ramirez was
sentenced after he pleaded no contest to
methamphetamine possession.
Officers apparently went to a San Mateo
home in August 2009 to serve a search war-
rant on Ramirez.
Police say Ramirez and another man,
Joseph Ortega, ran out of the house, and
tried to flee in a car. They say Ortega was
shot when an officer tripped on a curb and
accidentally fired his pistol.
The bullet remains lodged in his heart.
The detective who fired the shot was
cleared of any wrongdoing.
Ortega was charged with battery on a
peace officer and is free on $25,000 bail.

DA:Not enough evidence to
charge suspect in tourist’s murder
Prosecutors declined to charge a San
Francisco teen with the Sunday night murder
of a German tourist in the city’s theater district,
saying there was not enough evidence to prove
the case.
Mechtild Schroeer, 50, of Minden, Germany,
was shot at about 9 p.m. in the 400 block of
Mason Street, near Union Square. Police said
she was apparently caught in the crossfire of a
shootout between two groups of people outside
a private party on that block.
Phillip Stewart, 18, was arrested following
the shooting, but Tuesday afternoon, prosecu-
tors said they did not have enough evidence to
charge him.
District Attorney’s Office spokesman Seth
Steward said investigators are continuing to
collect ballistics evidence, gunshot residue and
video evidence in the case.
“Currently, there is no positive identifica-
tion” of Schroeer’s killer, Steward said.
Schroeer was walking in the area when at least
two people opened fire as a large crowd gath-
ered outside the party, police said. She and her
husband Stefan had been visiting the United
States and were staying at a nearby hotel at the
time, according to police.

Campaign launched
against sit-lie measure
Dozens of opponents of a measure that
would prohibit sitting on San Francisco side-
walks gathered in the Castro District Tuesday
to launch a campaign against it months before
voters will decide its fate.
San Francisco Supervisor David Campos
was among the opponents of the proposed sit-
lie measure who stood symbolically in front of
Harvey Milk Plaza at the corner of Market and
Castro streets, where a similar law prohibiting
sitting on sidewalks was used to target the gay
community in the 1970s. It was eventually
deemed unconstitutional.
Business owners in the Haight-Ashbury
neighborhood, where the issue has been heavi-
ly debated, say the ordinance is necessary to
counter what they say is increasingly aggres-
sive behavior by street youth that detracts from
the area’s appeal as a place to shop and live.
Proponents argue the ordinance is necessary to
enable police to enforce civility on sidewalks.
If approved by a simple majority of voters,
the ordinance would prohibit sitting or lying on
public sidewalks, or on objects placed on the
sidewalk, between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. citywide.

Storms delay drilling for final BP well plug
By Jeffery Collins
and Harry R. Webber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — An approaching
tropical depression forced crews to sus-
pend drilling Tuesday on the final
stretch of a relief well aimed at shooting
a permanent underground plug into
BP’s busted oil well in the Gulf of
Mexico.
Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen
said the suspension could mean a delay
of two or three days in completing the
relief well, one of the last steps toward
ending any threat from the well that
spewed more than 200 million gallons of
oil over three months before a temporary
cap sealed it in mid-July.
Crews will pop in a temporary plug to
keep what they’ve drilled so far safe, but
they won’t send workers back to land.
They have about 30 to 50 feet left to
drill.
The relief well is meant to allow BP
PLC to pump mud and cement into the
broken one from deep underground for a
so-called bottom kill, a permanent seal
that would complement a mud and
cement plug injected into the top of the
well last week.
Allen has insisted for days that BP go

Former Alaska Sen.Ted Stevens dies in plane crash
DILLINGHAM, Alaska — Federal investigators say the
plane carrying former Sen. Ted Stevens crashed into a moun-

She said the group had left a lodge for a
salmon fishing camp and crashed about 15

Hersman said the 1957 plane was overhauled in 2005 and

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York Gov. David Paterson offered

Paterson, a Democrat, said that he doesn’t oppose the project
as planned but indicated that he understands where opponents
are coming from. He said he was willing to intervene to seek
other suitable state property if the developers agreed.
“I think it’s rather clear that building a center there meets all

With high-speed rail,we must help ourselves
I
n November 1962, 61.2 per-
cent of the voters in San
Francisco, Alameda and
Contra Costa counties voted to be a
part of the new rapid transit sys-
tem, approving a $792 million con-
struction bond, with another $133
million to come from Bay Bridge
tolls. The entire cost was to be
nearly $1 billion — an unprece-
dented amount in that time. But the
project was ambitious.
Originally, BART was to have
reached both San Mateo and Marin
counties, but this county was cool
to the idea since there was already
a commuter train system through it
and the cost didn’t seem worth it.
Marin County dropped out because
the remaining cost would have
been too high and there were issues
with adding trains to the Golden
Gate Bridge.
The project was said to have
been needed to take cars of the
increasingly congested freeways
and to make up for the transit cars
that had been taken off the Bay
Bridge in the 1950s. Something
had to be done. But even before the
vote, many believed the project’s
massive scale and issues ranging
from geology, politics and the need
for eminent domain would surely
prove to be too problematic.
With the vote, however, a new
75-mile light-rail 33-station system
connecting 17 communities
through hills, underground and
under the Bay took its first step.
Through the years, it was met with
financial peril, a difficult economy
and political strife. It needed con-
stant infusions of federal money
but ran its first train on Sept. 11,
1972. The final project budget
reached $1.6 billion.
Growing concern over the idea of
an above-ground rail line through
the city of Berkeley was enough
A train wreck
waiting to happen
Editor,
Sue Lempert’s draconian views
(“Open up that Golden Gate,
California here we come” in the
Aug. 9 edition of the Daily
Journal) undermine California
residents’ goal to ensure the best
outcome for all, with California
High-Speed Rail. Rather than
acknowledge the value of public
input, Lempert pines for us to be
China, a country that disregards
its citizens and where independent
thinking can land you in prison.
In construction of China’s best
known infrastructure project, the
Three Gorges Dam, 1.3 million
people lost homes, livelihoods
and some of their most sacred
spiritual sites. While Lempert
touts China’s HSR system, in July
the line between Shanghai and
Nanjing was shut down two
weeks after it began operation.
High ticket prices and low rider-
ship were blamed after years of
construction and hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars wasted.
Does this sound familiar? The
High-Speed Rail Authority has
hiked ticket prices from $55 to
$105. Wildly inflated ridership
projections have been discredited
by the esteemed Berkeley
Transportation Institute. Project
costs have soared from $33 billion
to $43 billion, while infrastructure
professionals claim a tab of more
than $100 billion.
Lempert, don’t blame Peninsula

cue from the people of Berkeley in the 1960s and find a
way to ensure the system is one that does not destroy the

for the liberal City Council to join
with Republican Mayor Wallace
Johnson in supporting a bond issue
to keep the Berkeley BART line
underground. The idea was that the
new rapid system would not visibly
divide east and west Berkeley as
rail lines had in the past. The cost
of this bond measure was $12 mil-
lion and the city was assured it
would remain with its downtown as
it was before — but with a new
connection to other communities.
The history of BART and its con-
struction could be seen as a case
study in navigating a challenging
political and economic climate. But
the project was completed — albeit
years late, millions over budget and
after significant legal challenges.
The comparison to the current
push for a new high-speed rail sys-
tem from Los Angeles to San
Francisco is not hard to make. The
times are different but the project is
eerily similar. Freeway congestion
is no longer a mere irritant, its
harm to the environment is evident.
There was a need for new connec-
tions, there was a need for jobs.
That holds true today. And there
was a vote of the people to get both
projects going.
Put aside the irritation that the
High-Speed Rail Authority doesn’t
seem to give a damn about what a
few “bad apples” want for their
cities, it is becoming increasingly
clear that it is aiming to run its
train through the Peninsula and
those trains will not be in a tunnel.

there is China, who will gladly

they get the contracts.

state are waking up. Experts like

Nix the monstrosity
Editor,
What a fine mess we’ve gotten
ourselves into. The High-Speed
Rail Authority’s meeting last
week was another eye-opener for
sure. Why on earth would we, the
taxpayers entertain this charade?
Just because some politicians
(with the help of some buddies no
doubt) put some measures in front
of voters with very little or no
facts? Just to burn through anoth-
er billion of our tax money. You
must be kidding.
OPINION
dents to take a cue from the people
of Berkeley in the 1960s and find a
way to ensure the system is one
that does not destroy the character
of the communities through which
it will run. Extrapolating the 1966
numbers of the bond compared to
the overall bond of $792 million
and eventual project cost of $1.6
billion would mean the $12 million
Berkeley bond would be in the
neighborhood of either $600 mil-
lion to $1.2 billion in today’s dol-
lars for the high-speed rail system-
projected by some to cost up to $80
billion. The Berkeley bond paid for
three stations to be underground —
Berkeley, Albany and North
Berkeley and the portion we want
to tunnel may run the same length
without stations. This is an
extremely rough estimate, but if the
political powers-that-be on the
Peninsula want certain sections to
be placed underground, there
should be some effort put into
exploring how to get their hands on
that kind of money. It might be a
regional bond, site-specific federal
money or a combination of both.
It’s a massive political and finan-
cial undertaking, but one that is
becoming increasingly clear in its
necessity.
The other option is to try and
work with the High-Speed Rail
Authority which doesn’t seem to be
budging, try a complicated and
expensive legal route, waste time at
planning meetings and scream at
each other over whether we want it
or not. But that’s not productive.
If Ron Diridon’s comments to
Rory Grindley are correct, I
would call Ron pedantic, out of
touch, a bully and would fire him
right there, on the spot. How
would he and his cronies feel if
they would live next to a roaring
contraption that will shake his
house, create additional perils for
his children, divides a community.
All of that for nothing? There is
no business case that remotely
shows any benefit to anybody,
there is no business case that
shows substantial cost reductions
or time gain for travelers. You
want to create jobs? Moving tax
payers money from Peter (the tax-
payer) to Paul where Peter gets to
hold the bag and pay for the
deficit for the next 100 years, is
not even funny and is certainly
not the way to do it. It’s funny
money without being funny.
As a local business owner, why
would the train get me more busi-
ness, why would more customers
stop of in San Mateo, Menlo Park
or Burlingame? Why? But yet, I
will be asked to hold the bag
through additional local taxes
needed by the cities to fund this
eyesore. Do we really think Los
Angeles folks will come to the
Bay Area to spend money in iden-
tical shops with same pricing?
Why would they want to suffer a
six-hour inconvenient, inflexible
trip to do so? Swallow hard and
nix this monstrosity now.

Stocks cut losses
By Stephen Bernard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
1,196.20
NEW YORK — The stock market had
a half-hearted comeback Tuesday after
the Federal Reserve announced it would
take small steps to stimulate the econo-
my.
The Dow Jones industrial average,
down about 100 points before the Fed
announced its plans, recovered to a loss
of 54. The other major market indexes
also bounced off of their lows. But
investors were still cautious: The Dow
was able to briefly show a gain, but fell
back again as traders recognized that the
Fed’s moves, while welcome, would be
small and won’t cure the economy’s
problems.
Losing stocks were ahead of
advancers on the New York Stock
Exchange by almost 3 to 1. And stocks
considered safe bets in a weak economy,
including health care and consumer
products companies, were among the
gainers.
The Fed, in a statement issued after a
one-day policy meeting, said it will use
money from its investments in mortgage
securities to buy government debt on a
small scale. Because rates on bonds and
other debt fall as their prices rise, the
Fed’s purchases should help send long
Wall Street
term rates on mortgages and corporate
debt slightly lower. And the Fed hopes,
stimulate lending to consumers and busi-
nesses.
News that the Fed would be buying
government debt, and in the process
reduce the supply of Treasury issues on
the market, sent Treasurys higher. The
yield on the government’s 10-year note,
which moves in the opposite direction
from its price, fell to 2.75 percent from
2.82 percent before the announcement.
The yield is used to help set rates on
mortgages and other consumer loans.
Analysts said that while investors
were hoping the Fed would take some
steps to help the economy, the market
recognizes the limitations of the central
bank’s plans.
“We had an hour or so of rally, but
then it backed off a bit,” said Dan Cook,
Chicago-based senior market analyst
with brokerage firm IG Markets.
“Traders realized it’s not a game chang-
er. It’s not going to pump up the market.”
The purchases of debt the Fed plans
are known as “quantitative easing.”
Economists estimate that the Fed will
have about $10 billion a month to buy
the debt. That is a small amount of
money compared to the economy’s
needs.
The Fed said it would use the proceeds
it earns on mortgage bonds to buy two-
year and 10-year Treasurys, and that it
would buy an equal amount of govern-
ment debt as existing bonds mature. The
net effect is to keep its $2.3 trillion bal-
ance sheet steady, while shifting its hold-
ings into more government debt. The
Fed had hoped to roll back its debt hold-
ings as the economy improved.
In 2009 and early 2010, the Fed
bought $1.25 trillion in mortgage securi-
ties, $175 billion in mortgage debt from
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and $300
billion in government debt. In March,
the Fed stopped buying new mortgage
securities and Fannie and Freddie debt
because the economy was clearly recov-
ering.
Some analysts said the Fed is moving
slowly in its current stimulus plans so
investors don’t get the sense that the
economy is more troubled than they
have thought.
“There is only so much the Fed can do
and right now it wanted to take baby
steps in trying to provide additional liq-
uidity without roiling the markets and
scaring investors,” Michael Sheldon,
chief market strategist at RDM Financial
Group in Westport, Conn.

Fed,worried about recovery,will buy U.S.debt

By Jeannine Aversa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — As recently as two
months ago, the Federal Reserve sound-
ed optimistic about the economic recov-
ery. Now the central bank is taking a
new step that shows it is clearly more
worried, but economists say it probably
won’t help much.
The Fed said Tuesday that it would
spend a relatively small amount of
money — about $10 billion a month,
economists estimate — buying govern-
ment debt. The move is designed to drive
interest rates on mortgages and corpo-
rate borrowing at least a little lower and
help the economy grow faster.
In a statement after a one-day meeting,
the Fed said the pace of the recovery
“has slowed in recent months.” After its
last meeting in late June, the Fed was
rosier, saying that the recovery was
“proceeding” and the job market actual-
ly improving.
The decision to buy government debt,
using proceeds from Fed investments in
mortgage bonds, was a shift from earlier
this year, when the Fed was laying out
plans to roll back some of the measures
it took during the financial crisis.
At that time, the Fed was also prepar-
ing a strategy to begin raising interest
rates again, a step taken to keep a grow-
ing economy from overheating. Now,
though, the Fed has decided to keep its
benchmark interest rate near zero.
“I don’t think they are going to raise
interest rates until it is very clear that
unemployment is moving definitively
lower and that doesn’t look likely until
late 2011,” said Mark Zandi, chief econ-
omist at Moody’s Analytics.
Economists pointed out that buying
$10 billion of government debt in a $14
trillion economy is a relatively small
move, and they said they did not expect
it to have a dramatic impact.

Government:Initial
probe finds no new Toyota issues
WASHINGTON — A government investigation into runaway
Toyotas has found no new safety defects beyond problems with
accelerator pedals that explain reports of sudden acceleration in
the vehicles, according to preliminary findings released Tuesday.
Safety experts have said vehicle electronic systems could be to
blame for the problems that have led to Toyota’s massive recalls
but the review by the government, while still at an early stage,
has not found any evidence of those issues.
Toyota, the world’s largest automaker, has recalled about 9.5
million cars and trucks since October in a quality crisis that has
threatened to undermine the Japanese automaker’s reputation for
building safe vehicles.
Following congressional hearings, the Transportation
Department and NASA have been investigating what may have
caused unintended acceleration in Toyotas. The government has
received about 3,000 complaints about sudden acceleration and
estimated the problem could be involved in the deaths of 93 peo-
ple over the last decade.
The Transportation Department said it had not found any new
causes of the problems beyond two previously identified in the
recalls — floor mat entrapment and sticking accelerator pedals.
Toyota said in a statement that the remedies the company has
“developed for sticking accelerator pedal and potential acceler-
ator pedal entrapment by an unsecured or incompatible floor mat
are effective.”

House approves more border security
By Charles Babington
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — In a rare moment of
bipartisanship Tuesday, the House approved
$600 million to pay for more unmanned sur-
veillance drones and about 1,500 more agents
along the troubled Mexican border.
Getting tougher on border security is one of
the few issues that both parties agree on in this
highly charged election season. But lawmakers
remain deeply divided over a more compre-
hensive approach to the illegal immigration
problem, and it’s unclear if Congress will go
beyond border-tightening efforts.
The House passed the bill by voice vote after
brief debate and the Senate passed an identical
bill last week. But senators must act again, for
technical reasons, before sending the bill to
President Barack Obama for his signature.
Jim Manley, spokesman for Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, said leaders
hope they can give the bill final passage by the
end of the week, even though the full Senate is
not in session.
The bill would offset its costs by raising fees
on foreign-based personnel companies that use
U.S. visa programs to bring skilled workers to
the United States. These include the popular
H-1B visa program. India says higher fees
would discriminate against its companies and
workers.
The bill includes $176 million for 1,000 new
border patrol agents to form a strike force to be
deployed at critical areas, $89 million for
another 500 customs and immigration person-
nel, and $32 million to deploy unmanned aeri-
al vehicles or drones.
It also provides $196 million for the Justice

Congress and the White House felt a greater
urgency to act on border security after Arizona
passed a law directing its law enforcement
officers to be more aggressive in seeking out
illegal immigrants. A federal judge struck
down the law’s main provisions, but many vot-
ers throughout the country favor crackdowns
on illegal immigration.
Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., asked the
Senate to move quickly. She said it’s time for
the federal government “to stop letting us

border security.

Fingerprint sharing led
to deportation of 47,000
By Suzanne Gamboa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A rapidly expanding
illegal immigration enforcement program has
led to the deportation of 47,000 people over 18
months when the Homeland Security
Department was sifting through millions of
fingerprints taken at local jail bookings.
About one-quarter of those did not have
criminal records and slightly less — about a
fifth — had committed or were charged with
what are categorized as the most serious
crimes, according to government data
obtained by immigration advocacy groups
who had sued.
ICE posted the data on its website late
Monday in advance of the group’s release of
the data Tuesday.

Secure Communities is one of several ICE
programs targeting immigrants charged or
convicted of crimes. Overall, 49 percent of the
immigrants ICE has deported so far this year
have been criminals, compared to 35 percent
all of last fiscal year.
Immigration advocates say the government
spends too much time on lower-level criminals
and people who have not committed crimes.
They also allege the program makes people
fearful of reporting crimes, does not protect
against racial profiling and is being forced on
some communities without consent.
“ICE essentially throws a gill net over the
concept of immigration reform. It sweeps up
all the little people along with what they say is
their intention, which is to deport serious and
violent criminals,” said San Francisco Sheriff
Michael Hennessey, whose city is having trou-
ble getting out of the program. He said people

Disney 3Q profit soars
on ESPN, studio gains
LOS ANGELES — The Walt Disney Co. said
net income for the latest quarter jumped 40 per-
cent from a year ago thanks to a huge boost
from ESPN and a turnaround at its movie studio
because of “Toy Story 3.”
Disney said Tuesday that fiscal third-quarter
net income was $1.33 billion, or 67 cents per
share. That’s up from $954 million, or 51 cents
per share, a year ago.
Revenue rose 16 percent to $10 billion, from
$8.6 billion.
Much of the 50 percent profit gain at its cable
channels came from recognizing deferred rev-
enue at ESPN earlier than expected, although
that won’t affect the yearly results. But adver-

also increased.
Cable channels represent Disney’s largest
profit driver, and this quarter represented $1.68

San Bruno storms to title

Under-16 softball team captures Western National Championship tournament
By Emanuel Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The San Bruno 16-and-under B
softball team’s dream season ended
in the most electrifying way possi-
ble: With a victory in the bottom of
the seventh inning in the Western
National Championship
Tournament championship game.
On Sunday, the Storm captured
the first national championship in
San Bruno fastpitch softball pro-
gram history with a rousing 6-5 win
over Buena Park in the winner-take-
all game in Hillsboro, Ore.
“We’re still on Cloud Nine,” San
Bruno manager Raul Rodriguez
said.
As well as the Storm should be.
All told, they went 8-1 in the tour-
nament to finish the season 33-5-1,
winning five of the seven tourna-
ments they entered. As the lone
undefeated team entering Sunday’s
championship round, San Bruno
needed to be beaten twice to lose the
title.
Buena Park got the job done in
Game 1, dealing the Storm their
only loss of the tournament, 8-0, in
a game that was called after five
innings due to the mercy rule.
“We got ripped,” Rodriguez said.
“Buena Park is a great team and
they were hitting the ball all over
the place.”
The teams took the mandatory 30-
minute break between the champi-
onship games, leaving Rodriguez in
a worried state. After all, Buena
Park was the same team that beat
San Bruno last year in the semifi-
nals of the Western Nationals in
Lancaster.
“As coaches, you get worried
after a game like that,” Rodriguez
said. “But I looked at the girls and
they were loose and joking around.
The loss didn’t bother them at all. In
fact, a couple of them asked why
they had to wait (to start Game 2).”
Even though the Storm players
could hardly wait to start the second
game, it was Buena Park that led for
most of the way. Buena Park led 2-
0 entering the bottom of the third

McFadden to miss preseason opener

Tim Lincecum in an 8-6 win over the Giants
on Tuesday night.
Ryan Dempster pitched into the seventh
inning for his second straight win while
Aramis Ramirez added three hits for Chicago,
which ended a season-high six-game losing
streak on the road. It’s only the Cubs’ third
win in their last 15 games.
Lincecum, the two-time reigning NL Cy
Young winner, lasted just four innings and
gave up six runs, including Fukudome’s two-
run homer in the first. Over his last five starts
San Francisco’s ace is 1-2 with a 5.40 ERA.
The Cubs dropped the first game of the
series in extra innings, but scored four runs in
the first off Lincecum (11-6) and never looked
back. Chicago had scored just 10 runs in its
previous four games before breaking out
against the Giants.
Castro had an RBI single in the first then hit
a bases-loaded single in the fourth to drive in
two more.

Seattle added a run in the eighth off Craig

It was the sixth shutout for the Mariners and
the fifth time the A’s have been shut out.
The lack of scoring is not new to Hernandez
this season. In his nine losses, the Mariners
have scored a total of nine runs.
Hernandez worked some pitching magic
getting out of a bases loaded, no-out jam in

Chicago a 4-0 lead. It is the first time in
Lincecum’s career he has allowed more than
three runs in the first.
Dempster (10-8) nearly let it all slip away,
albeit with help from the Cubs’ defense which
committed errors in the first two innings. The
Giants benefited and scored an unearned run
in the first then pulled within 4-2 on Travis
Ishikawa’s RBI single in the second.
Lincecum settled down briefly but ran into
trouble again in the fourth when he gave up a
pair of singles and a walk to load the bases.
Castro, who had an RBI single in the first, fol-
lowed with a two-out single to center to drive
in Koyie Hill and Dempster, making it 6-2.
For Lincecum it was another in a series of
disappointing outings this season. He allowed
six runs and eight hits in four innings and lost
consecutive-starts for the third time this sea-
son. San Francisco’s ace altered his delivery in
July in hopes of changing his luck but has had
limited success since. The Giants fell 2 1-2
games behind San Diego in the NL West. San
Francisco also dropped into a tie with
Cincinnati for the NL wild card lead.
At that point, the A’s were hitless in their
last 37 chances with runners in scoring posi-
tion. They would not have another chance.
Hernandez settled in after the first-inning
blip. Over a span of 25 batters, he retired 22,
12 on strikeouts. The only hitters to reach
were on two singles and a walk.
Anderson also had a brush with first-inning
trouble. He walked Jose Lopez with two outs
then Gutierrez doubled into the left-field cor-
ner. Lopez, who is not fast, was held up at
third. Kotchman ended it with a right-side
groundout.
Anderson went on to retire 13 of 14 batters,
allowing only a two-out single in the fourth.
He gave up two hits through five innings but
couldn’t get through the sixth unharmed.

Dempster gave up eight hits in 6 2-3 innings
and settled down after a rough start. The right-

Reliever Andrew Cashner gave up Buster
Posey’s long fly ball to center that glanced off
Tyler Colvin’s glove for a double. Burriss and
Huff scored, cutting the gap to 6-4, but
Cashner struck out Pat Burrell to end the
inning. Pinch-hitter Mike Fontenot hit a two-
run double off Guillermo Mota in the eighth to
increase the Cubs lead to 8-4.
Chicago closer Chris Marmol made it inter-

including an RBI double to Posey. Pablo
Sandoval also drove in a run with an infield
single but Marmol struck out Juan Uribe and
got Ishikawa to ground out. Notes: Posey fin-

Fill-in center Baas working to find rhythm
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — David Baas bounced a
couple of snaps during team drills and knows
that’s not going to cut it. Afterward, he and
49ers quarterback Alex Smith stayed on the
field to do more work and find their timing.
Baas is determined to win the starting job at
center for San Francisco to replace the injured
Eric Heitmann — and Baas sure seems to be
the front-runner after getting all the repeti-
tions with the first team Tuesday morning.
Heitmann broke his left leg Monday and is
expected to miss up to two months, a big blow
for a unit that is determined to establish some
continuity in 2010.
“It is hard, but I need to be just like him in
the huddle. It’s not a done deal,” Baas said
Tuesday of being the new center. “I have to be
very confident. I put two balls on the ground
today.”
The Niners’ new-look offensive line, featur-
ing rookie first-round picks Anthony Davis
and Mike Iupati, will get its first real test in an
exhibition opener Sunday at Indianapolis.

five NFL seasons, and not since Dec. 31,
Gerhart learning about the NFL on the fly with Vikings
By Dave Campbell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANKATO, Minn. — When Chester
Taylor left Minnesota as a free agent, the nat-
ural assumption was that rookie Toby Gerhart
would slide into Taylor’s old spot as Adrian
Peterson’s backup and the primary running
back in passing situations.
If that was the team’s intent, the memo
missed Albert Young.
The third-year player out of Iowa who spent
his rookie season on the practice squad took a
majority of the turns with the first team while
Peterson rested a tight left hamstring and is
listed ahead of Gerhart on the depth chart.
“I’m just putting in my bid to take that
role,” Young said, referring to the sure-hand-
ed, solid-blocking, slithery Taylor’s departure.
“There’s a whole group of guys who feel the
same way.”
Gerhart doesn’t have the same skill set as
Taylor, which is one reason why he’s not auto-
matically slotted as the third-down back. The
other is that the second-round draft pick has a
lot of work to do to fully grasp the profes-
sional game and the Vikings system. This is
further evidence of the complexity of the
NFL, particularly at certain skill positions

a lot of positions.”
David Baas Interestingly, Baas
earned his first start as a
rookie on Dec. 4, 2005, against Arizona to
replace Heitmann at right guard. Heitmann
had been moved to center to take over for the
injured Jeremy Newberry. Baas started the
final five games that year.
Baas’ transition to leading the line and call-
ing the signals up front has to happen in a
hurry. Offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye ide-
ally would like to have a starter in place by the
third exhibition game.
“I know it has to be quite quick,” Baas said.
“We’ve got to be on the same page. If the
offensive line can’t work together, the offense
can’t work together.”
Raye realizes he has a daunting task of
preparing a line featuring a new center and a
pair of talented, yet raw, rookies.
A year ago, Raye spent much of his first

Gerhart said. “People are

time with the team in the offseason was limit-
ed because Stanford’s calendar saves gradua-
tion for mid-June.
The coaching staff has been pleased by
Gerhart’s attitude and effort during training
camp so far, but he has a long way to go in
terms of picking up blitzes, reading defenses
and becoming a complete player.
“The last thing you want to do is throw a
high draft pick in and assume he can take on
the challenge of being the third-down back,”
running backs coach Eric Bieniemy said.

going to define that role. But you never want

But Heitmann was a
steady presence during
that time. At least the cur-
rent situation doesn’t
come in the middle of the
season with “the game-
Eric Heitmann week pressure,” Raye
said.
“Huge,” Raye said of his task now. “The
center in our system of football is basically
the backup quarterback. You don’t really think
about losing your center. It’s a unique deal. ...
I think we made a step today, once we got
over the initial shock that Eric’s going to be

Baas will be challenged for the job by Tony
Wragge and Cody Wallace, though it appears
to be Baas’ spot to lose. Raye said the coach-

Indianapolis to determine how many snaps the

Baas is only worried about doing all he can
to be sharp.

During the first couple of days, Gerhart took
his share of hard hits — a few of them knock-

Childress remarked that Gerhart was learning
a lot about the pace of the pro game.
“I have never gotten the impression that
anything was too big for him. I think he has
been good with his pass protection,” Childress
said Tuesday. “I have seen him make people
miss. I have seen him bang through some stuff
that people are going to struggle to get him on
the ground with. Obviously he’s being initiat-
ed by our defense ... but that is just kind of a
rite of passage. It’s nothing extreme.”
Ryan Moats and Darius Reynaud are also
candidates for playing time behind Peterson,
with practice-squad holdover and special-
teamer Ian Johnson also taking his turns.
“I think you’ve got to control what you can
control: come out every day, practice hard and

his way back from left knee surgery, the
coaches are open to trying Cook on the right

he’s fully healed from his broken right foot.
Asher Allen is the starter for now at right cor-

Cook is taking it in stride.
“I think I’ve made a pretty good impres-

Cook’s biggest challenge is to get in better

“Probably the thing for him, like most rook-

Childress said. “If there is any area that will
have to be worked on, it would be getting him

Mickelson has been
threatening to replace
Tiger Woods as world No.
Phil Mickelson 1 since The Players
Championship in early
May, only to stumble at each opportunity.
That’s led many to wonder what’s ailing him,
particularly after his lackluster round Sunday
at Firestone, where he made seven bogeys and
a double-bogey — and just one birdie — on
his way to a 78.
Turns out, the ranking was the least of his
worries.
Mickelson, who turned 40 in June, said he
woke up five days before the U.S. Open with
“intense pain” in his tendons and joints that
left him unable to move and his joints feeling
sprained. Stretching, walking and anti-inflam-
matories alleviated the pain, and he went
ahead and played Pebble Beach, where he
shot 66 on Friday to put himself in contention.
He wound up tied for fourth.
But the condition got progressively worse
during the U.S. Open and a family vacation to
Hawaii afterward, spreading to his knees, hips
and elbows.
had a brief conversation before the coach
dropped back to work with Stephen Ames,
another client.
Woods has been without a coach since he
parted ways with Hank Haney in May. They
had worked together for six years. The only
other coach the world’s No. 1 player
employed as a professional was Butch
Harmon, which lasted until 2003.
Woods has said he would not have a coach,
instead relying on a friend at home in Orlando
to videotape his shots. Asked if it were possi-
“That’s when I got concerned,” he said. “I
certainly had the gamut of thoughts. ... I
would just lay down and I couldn’t roll over. I
was concerned about being able to swing a
club and so forth.”
After the British Open, Mickelson made a
trip to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.,
where doctors confirmed the diagnosis of pso-
riatic arthritis. According to the Mayo Clinic
website, the condition causes joint pain, stiff-
ness and swelling. While it can be linked to
psoriasis, the arthritis can appear without the
presence of skin lesions.
There is no cure for the condition, accord-
ing to the Mayo Clinic website, but the dis-
ease is treatable. Weekly shots of Enbrel
lower his immune system, and Mickelson said
the difference was noticeable almost immedi-
ately.
“I feel great now and things have been
much, much better,” he said. “I’ll probably
take this drug for about a year, and feel 100
percent. I’ll stop it and see if it goes into
remission and it may never come back. It may
be gone forever.”
“It’s not that it’s cured, but it may never
come back,” he added. “Or if it does come
back, I’ll start the treatment again and should
be able to live a normal life without having
any adverse effects. So I’m not very con-
cerned about it.”
The arthritis is the latest health scare for
ble for Foley to be his next coach, Woods
replied, “Certainly it’s a possibility, no doubt.”
“But there’s also a lot of other coaches out
there that’s a possibility, as well, that I’ve
talked to,” Woods said. “I wanted to have him
take a look at it today on video so I can take a
look at it, and that’s what we did.”
Mahan, who began working with Foley two
years ago at the PGA Championship,
described the Woods-Foley relationship as
“another set of eyes right now.”
“Could be something more, you never

Mickelson’s family. His wife, Amy, and moth-
er are both battling breast cancer; the long-
term prognosis for both is good.
While Mickelson said the arthritis didn’t
affect his play at Pebble Beach or St.
Andrews, where he was never a factor, he only
resumed his regular practice routine last
week. Revealing his condition earlier might
have lessened some of the criticism of his
game these last few weeks.
But that’s not Lefty’s style.
“First of all, I don’t want excuses. And sec-
ond, I don’t want to discuss something when I
don’t know what the outcome is going to be,”
Mickelson said. “For five or six weeks, I was
a little unsure of how this was going to affect
me long term, career, what have you. Now
that I feel confident it’s not going to affect not
only the rest of my career or the rest of my
life, but even in the short term it shouldn’t
have an effect, I feel a lot better about it and
I’m a lot more at ease to discuss it.”
Mickelson certainly looked at ease Tuesday
during his practice round at Whistling Straits.
He joked and laughed often with playing part-
ners Dustin Johnson, Jeff Overton and Steve
Marino, and it was clear there was more rid-
ing on the round than simple practice.
When Mickelson drained a 10-footer on 18,
he gave a hearty fist pump.
“I’m probably not as sharp as I would like
to be,” the four-time major champion said. “I
know,” Mahan said. “I have a feeling they’re
going to talk about that in private and then fig-
ure that out in the next few weeks or months.
But I don’t know exactly what they’re doing
together.”
After Foley dropped back with Ames, it was
O’Hair who stood behind Woods to check out
his fairway metal toward the 11th green. It
was a peculiar sight in one respect. Last year
at the Tour Championship, it was Woods who
gave O’Hair a putting tip that helped lead
O’Hair to a 66 and the first-round lead at East
Lake.

Strasburg has rough return from DL
WASHINGTON — Nationals right-hander
Stephen Strasburg has allowed a career-high
six runs in a career-low 4 1-3 innings in his
first start since returning from the disabled
list.
The Nationals reinstated the rookie from the
15-day DL before their game against the
Florida Marlins on Tuesday night. He last
pitched July 21.
Strasburg was scratched minutes before his
scheduled start against Atlanta on July 27,
because he had trouble getting loose in the
bullpen before the game. It was later diag-
nosed as inflammation in his pitching shoul-
der.
Entering Tuesday, the No. 1 overall pick in
the 2009 amateur draft was 5-2 with a 2.32

innings. His ERA rose to 3.07 Tuesday.
Usain Bolt taking rest
of 2010 off because of back
Coming off a rare loss at 100 meters,
Olympic and world champion Usain Bolt is
cutting his season short, saying he won’t race
again in 2010 because of tightness in his
lower back.
The Jamaican’s manager, Ricky Simms,
wrote in an e-mail Tuesday that the world
record-holder at 100 and 200 meters will have
treatment to loosen his back and then rest,
skipping IAAF Diamond League track and
field meets in Zurich on Aug. 19, and in
Brussels on Aug. 27.
“It is better for me not to take any risks this
year,” Bolt said, according to Simms. “2011
and 2012 are very important ... and I hope to
be back fully fit and healthy. I ... look forward
to coming back stronger next year.”
Bolt hadn’t lost an individual race in two
years until Friday, when Tyson Gay of the
United States beat him at the DN Galan meet
in Stockholm. Gay ran 9.84 seconds, and Bolt
finished in 9.97 — nearly 0.40 slower than his
record for the 100.

The outspoken skipper went off on another

the AL Central co-leaders, saying his team
deserves more credit and doesn’t “feel the

“Everybody asks, ’What do you think about
the Minnesota Twins this year?’ Well, that’s

Guillen dismissed headlines hyping the

DETROIT — Tracy McGrady and the
Detroit Pistons have agreed to a $1.3 million,
one-year contract, a person familiar with the
negotiations told the Associated Press on
Tuesday. The person spoke on the condition of
anonymity because the deal hasn’t been

McGrady, a seven-time All-Star and two-

New York because he had major surgery on his
left knee in the middle of the 2008-09 season.

Mississippi flag could hurt bid to host tourney

Storm starter Chia Santiago retired the side in

South Carolina has encountered a similar prob-

“I told the girls the more you win, the less
you play,” Rodriguez said. “They made the

Fonseca and Santiago pitched all of the
team’s games, and center fielder Amanda
Cotla robbed a Buena Park batter of a home
run in the first inning of Game 2. On the play,
Cotla got injured running into the elastic
fence.
“It was a great catch and a gutty effort,”
Rodriguez said. “Amanda is barely 5-feet tall
and she saved us with that catch.”
After last year’s third-place finish at the
Western Nationals, the Storm entered this sea-
son knowing it would be their last chance to
take it all. San Bruno doesn’t have an 18-and-

be its last hurrah.

Keep burgers simple and meaty
By J.M. Hirsch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Simple and meaty. Pretty obvi-
ous and pretty good.
It’s the essence of a great burger,
according to Paul Kirk, a man who
clearly knows his meat. He’s one of
the world’s most accomplished
barbecue gurus — with some 450
awards, including seven World
Barbecue Championships — as
well as executive chef at New
York’s R.U.B. BBQ restaurant.
“This may sound too obvious,
but what makes a burger great is
the meat. You can add different
things to your patties or top them
with whatever you’d like, but if
you don’t start with the right foun-
dation, the whole building will
crumble, right?” he said in an inter-
view by e-mail.
Kirk says he’s all for experiment-
ing with blends of different cuts of
meat, but says the most important
part for the home cook to focus on
is the ratio of fat.
“Keep it somewhere in the 80/20
range and you’ll end up with a fla-
vorful, juicy burger,” he said.
“After that, I like to keep things
pretty simple. Some hearty white
buns and maybe some onion, but I
don’t top ’em with too much. I like
to let the meat shine.”
And so we asked Kirk to bring
his barbecue expertise to AP’s 20
Burgers of Summer series.

was a no-brainer. We had some

Consumers pushing beyond sake to Japanese whiskies

By Michelle Locke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO — It wasn’t

too long ago that Owen Westman’s
customers at Rickhouse Bar didn’t
even know there were Japanese
whiskies available, let alone ask for
them by name.
“They certainly do now,” he says.
Although best known for sake,
Japan has a whisky tradition stretch-
ing back more than a century. It’s
not widely available in the U.S., but
that’s changing as companies like
major producer Suntory work to
boost overseas sales.
And maybe Bill Murray had
something to do with it. His charac-
ter in the 2003 movie “Lost in
Translation” goes to Japan to shoot
a whisky commercial.
Suntory exports a number of
products, including Yamazaki single
malt whiskies and Hibiki, a blend.

A simple bean salad Liven up your fruit
By Jim Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Beans are somewhat of a nutri-
tional miracle worker.
Along with being an excellent
source of protein, they’re packed
with fiber and other plant-based
nutrients. Plus, they’re extremely
low in fat, can prolong the feeling of
fullness after a meal, and can help
control blood sugar levels.
Many people are hesitant to cook
with beans because they think of the
dry ones, which can require soaking
overnight and, depending on the
variety, lengthy cooking on the
stove. But canned beans are a con-
venient must-have for any healthy
pantry.
The good news is that unlike
many other canned products, beans
keep their nutrients during the can-
ning process.
Besides being nutritional dyna-
mite, canned beans are available in
numerous shapes, sizes and flavors,
making them a favorite among gour-
met cooks. They can usually be
found alongside the canned vegeta-
bles at the grocer, but be sure to
check the ethnic aisle as well for
some of the less common varieties.
Always rinse and drain canned
beans before using them to remove
excess salt and indigestible sugars
that are in the cloudy liquid.
Because they’re so rich in protein,
beans can replace some or all of the
meat called for in many dishes.
They also can be pureed (with sea-
sonings) to make quick dips and
spreads. Or simply add some to a
salad for extra protein, flavor and
texture.
This summery salad stars black-

A veggie burger that means business By Jim Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Whenever the word “veggie” modifies
“burger”, many people taste skepticism more
than anything else.
While it’s true that many veggie burgers are
nothing more than mushy patties of ground up
produce, this portobello burger with sun-dried
tomato mayo is a burger of a different class.
Marinated and grilled just right, a large por-
tobello mushroom cap can be just as tooth-
some and “meaty” as the real deal. And when
you add accoutrements, like char-grilled red
onion and red bell pepper, plus a slathering of
savory sun-dried tomato mayo, you just might
turn a meat eater into a vegetarian. At least
until the next meal.

Four 1/2-inch-thick slices red onion, cut

1 yellow or orange bell pepper, quartered

In a small bowl, stir together the mayon-

In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar,

mushrooms, onions and peppers, turning to

Heat a gas grill to medium-high or light a

Remove the vegetables from the marinade,
letting any excess drip off. Reserve the mari-
nade. Grill the vegetables until browned on
both sides and tender, about 5 minutes per
side, brushing once with additional marinade
during cooking.
Meanwhile, toast the rolls at the edge of the
grill or in a toaster.
To assemble the burgers, divide the arugula
among the 4 roll bottoms. Top with onions
and peppers. Set the mushroom caps on top.
Spread a quarter of the mayo on each roll top
and set on top of the mushrooms.

Schwarzenegger signs bills to delay water bond
By Robin Hindery
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger on Tuesday completed the
process of removing an $11.1 billion water
bond from California’s November ballot and
delaying it for two years.
The governor signed two bills, one of which
postponed the water bond vote until
November 2012. The other delayed the terms
of the nine members of the California Water
Commission, which would have allocated
some of the bond money.
Lawmakers on Monday scrambled to secure
the necessary two-thirds votes in the
Assembly and Senate to pass AB1260 and
AB1265.

and by reducing food stamp benefits for the
poor.
Obama, joined by teachers at a Rose
Garden ceremony earlier in the day, said, “We
can’t stand by and do nothing while pink slips
are given to the men and women who educate
our children or keep our communities safe.”
The Senate narrowly passed the measure
last Thursday, after the House had begun its
August break.
The legislation provides $10 billion to
school districts to rehire laid-off teachers or
to ensure that more teachers won’t be let go
before the new school year begins. The
Education Department estimates that could
save 160,000 jobs.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan said his
department would streamline the application
process to get the money to local school dis-
tricts quickly. He said three-fourths of the
nation’s districts have said they would be
opening the school year with fewer teachers
and “we wanted to avert a crisis for this year.”

LOCAL/STATE/NATION
Bond supporters feared
the state’s dismal econom-
ic climate would turn vot-
ers against the measure.
They say the two-year
delay will give them time
to persuade Californians to
support it.
Opponents had wanted
Arnold the bond to stay on the
Schwarzenegger ballot so voters would
have a chance to reject it.
Schwarzenegger will leave office in January
because of term limits, and responsibility for
the bond will fall to his successor.
Republican gubernatorial nominee Meg
Whitman had previously voiced her support
for the bond — a stance that helped win her
the states. That would free money for states to
meet other budget priorities, including keep-
ing more than 150,000 police officers and
other public workers on the payroll.
Some three-fifths of states have already
factored in the federal money in drawing up
their budgets for the current fiscal year. The
National Governors Association, in a letter to
congressional leaders, said the states’ esti-
mated budget shortfall for the 2010-12 period
is $116 billion, and the extended Medicaid
payments are “the best way to help states
bridge the gap between their worst fiscal year
and the beginning of recovery.”
Not all governors were on board.
Mississippi Republican Haley Barbour said
his state would have to rewrite its budget and
would have to spend $50 million to $100 mil-
lion to get its additional $98 million in edu-
cation grants.
The $26 billion package is small compared
to previous efforts to right the flailing econo-
my through federal spending. But with the
election approaching, the political stakes
were high.
“Teachers, nurses and cops should not be
used as pawns in a cynical political game”
resulting from “the Democratic majority’s
failure to govern responsibly,” said Rep.
David Dreier, R-Calif.
“Where do the bailouts end?” asked
furlough days annually through June 2011. It
also allowed for the contract to be revisited
should money become available.
The benefits may not happen as quickly in
other districts, like Redwood City Elementary.
Although the district made $7 million in cuts
for the upcoming school year, which included
laying off 63 teachers, revisiting contracts was
as expressly required for simply receiving
federal funds.
The Millbrae Elementary School District
could also have a delayed reaction as the most
the endorsement of several major farm
groups, including the Western Growers
Association.
Her campaign on Tuesday criticized state
lawmakers for failing to solve California’s
water crisis and said that if elected, Whitman
would push hard for the bond’s passage.
“As the next the governor, Meg will do
everything in her power to make sure the bond
wins voter approval,” said spokeswoman
Sarah Pompei. “In the meantime, she would
work hard to pressure the federal government
to consider the economic harm of their poli-
cies restricting flows.”
Whitman’s Democratic opponent, Attorney
General Jerry Brown, has so far declined to
take a position on the water bond, according
to campaign spokesman Sterling Clifford.
Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio.
“Are we going to bail out states next year and
the year after that, too? At some point we’ve
got to say, ‘Enough is enough.”’
But Democratic Rep. Jay Inslee said his
state of Washington would get funds to keep
3,000 teachers. Republicans, he said, “think
those billions of dollars for those corporate
loopholes is simply more important than
almost 3,000 teachers and classrooms in the
state of Washington.”
Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., said
Republicans ignore the fact that the law
would not add to the federal deficit. “They
want to do everything in their power to make
certain that President Obama can’t get this
country going again. I think in November
they are going to find it was a dumb policy.”
The means of paying for the bill, a result of
difficult negotiations in the Senate, were con-
tentious.
Republicans objected to raising some $10
billion by raising taxes on some U.S.-based
multinational companies. Advocates for the
poor protested a provision to accelerate the
phasing out of an increase in food stamp pay-
ments implemented in last year’s economic
recovery bill. Under the measure, payments
would return to pre-stimulus rates in 2014,
saving almost $12 billion.
James Weill, president of the Food
recent contract, recently agreed upon by the
district and teachers, calls for a shorter school
year. The contract is closed for next year but
could be reopened for the 2011-12 school
year.
Superintendent Linda Luna said it would
not preclude the district and teachers from
mutually agreeing to reopen the contract if the
district receives a notable sum. But it’s too
early to tell, she said.

Rangel:‘Don’t leave
me swinging in the wind’
WASHINGTON — A combative Rep.
Charles Rangel told the House on Tuesday
he’s not resigning despite 13 charges of
wrongdoing and demanded the ethics com-
mittee not leave him “swinging in the wind.”
Rangel, who is 80, spoke without notes in
an extraordinary, often emotional 37-minute
speech that defied his lawyers’ advice to keep
quiet about his case.
The New York Democrat and 40-year
House veteran had a sharp message in dis-
missing fellow Democrats who, worried
about election losses, want him to quit: “If I
can’t get my dignity back here, then fire your
best shot in getting rid of me through expul-
sion.”
Research and Action Center, said that would
be cutting benefits for some 40 million people
now receiving food stamps. “Those families
will be hungrier and less able to buy healthy
diets,” he said.
Weill’s group estimated that a family of
four that may now receive about $464 a
month in food stamps stood to lose about
$59. Democrats gave assurances that they
would look for other ways to pay for the law
before the payment cuts go into effect in four
years.
“The cutbacks in food stamps in the bill are
plain wrong,” said House Appropriations
Committee Chairman David Obey, D-Wis.
American Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees President Gerald
McEntee rejected GOP arguments that the
Democrats’ primary purpose with the legisla-
tion was to reward their friends in organized
labor. “We’re in tough shape out there with
these incredible holes in these state budgets.
To the American people it’s tremendously
important and will give a little lift to the
economy,” he said of the legislation.
The House on Tuesday also passed a $600
million measure to boost security on the U.S.-
Mexican border by hiring more enforcement
officers and making greater use of unmanned
surveillance drones. That bill still has to go
back to the Senate.

DATEBOOK
Bear Grylls almost done in
By David Bauder
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Adventurer Bear
Grylls was surprised by a huge crocodile
in Australia, navigated a shark-infested
channel off Papua New Guinea and lost
the ability to breathe while in free-fall at
30,000 feet during upcoming new
episodes of Discovery’s “Man vs. Wild.”
Yet it was a camera that almost did him
in.
Grylls needed to be airlifted from a
mountainside in the Canadian Rockies
with a badly damaged leg after a camera
on a sled slammed into him, the most
heart-stopping moment in seven new
episodes of the series that starts on
Wednesday at 9 p.m. EDT.
The enthusiastic survivalist had glis-
saded down a mountain, zipping down
the snow on his backside, and stopped
himself suddenly by using an ice pick.
The camera following him didn’t stop,
missing Grylls’ head and shoulder by
inches before hitting him in the leg. It did-
n’t break a bone, but came awfully close.
His first thought was, “Wow, I’m
lucky.”
Then the tears came. It had been a
stressful stretch of filming, and the emo-
tion of it all came rushing out. The tough
guy is only so tough.
“It was a wake-up call,” Grylls said.
“You’ve just got to get it right every time.
You live with danger a lot and you can get
blase, and just can’t do that.”
Grylls should know. His career in the
British military ended when he broke his
back after a parachute failed following a
jump from a helicopter. He moved into
the lucrative world of TV adventure,
where his never-flagging enthusiasm,

leaving the office as a captain. He will
serve as U.S. marshal for a four-year
term.
“It is a great honor for him and all of
us,” said Half Moon Bay Councilman
John Muller. “He is the perfect person
for this appointment. They picked a
great man.”
The council is scheduled to hold a
closed session Aug. 24 to discuss hiring
O’Keefe’s replacement, Muller said.
O’Keefe, 54, praised officers in his
police department for enduring two dif-
ficult budget cycles in a city that has
slashed from its budget significantly due
to the downturn in the economy and a
court-ordered settlement that strapped
the city with a $30 million debt for the
next 30 years.
Budget restraints forced Half Moon
Bay to trim the police chief’s job to part-
time status.
O’Keefe received a bachelor of sci-
ence degree from the Notre Dame de
AHIO

dead but Ahio remained at large until the
following evening when he turned him-
self in to the South San Francisco Police
Department.
Monday’s arraignment was Ahio’s
first court appearance but he did little
more than ask for a court-appointed
attorney and be refused bail. Ahio
returns to court Aug. 24.
Prosecutors charged Ahio Tuesday
morning with murder and the special
allegation he personally used a knife. If
convicted, he faces up to 16 years to life
in prison.
Millbrae police say earlier that night,
Ahio began following Afu as he walked

willingness to eat virtually anything
(sheep’s eyeball, anyone?) and inventive
use of common items such as shoelaces to
survive uncommon danger made him a
compelling draw. (He stuck shoelaces
into the crevice of a rocky cliff to collect
water when his bottle was nearly empty.)
Discovery viewers relate to Grylls and
enjoy the opportunity to live vicariously
through his adventures, said Stephen
Reverand, Discovery’s senior vice presi-
dent for development and production.
Beyond the upcoming episodes,
Discovery has committed to filming at
least 10 more missions starting in
September, he said.
The show has recovered from an
embarrassment four years ago when it
was revealed Grylls had spent time
indoors on a mission where the impres-

and earned a master’s degree in public
administration from the University of
San Francisco in 1999.
O’Keefe’s name was forwarded to
Obama for the position by U.S. Sen.
Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.
He was one of six U.S. marshal nomi-
nees considered for districts across the
country and went through a lengthy
background check.
The FBI even called Councilman
Allan Alifano with questions about
O’Keefe.
“I praised Don to the ceiling,” Alifano
said. “I knew when I first met the city
manager and police chief, they were so
exceptional that we couldn’t keep them
for long.”
Interim City Manager Michael
Dolder’s contract expires with Half
Moon Bay near the end of this year. The
city may have to hire an interim chief,
Alifano said.
The council placed a 1 percent sales
tax increase on the November ballot to
raise about $1.4 million annually. If it
passes, the city will be better able to fill
the two positions permanently, if it
chooses, Alifano said.
and smoked with friends. At some point,
Ahio and Afu became separated from
their respective friends and confronted
each other over a “personal issue.” Afu’s
friends reported seeing him stabbed by
Ahio around 11:30 p.m.
The next afternoon, a bloodied back-
pack containing identification and a
bloody knife was discovered a block
from the school, on the side of the New
Vision United Methodist Church on
Chadbourne Avenue.
After the murder, Afu’s mother,
Catherine, told the Daily Journal her son
was an “easy-going guy” enrolled in an
auto mechanic program at Skyline
College.
Police have not confirmed a motive
but have suggested Ahio killed Afu over
jealousy involving a girlfriend whom he
was convicted of battering earlier this
year.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
sion was given that he was outdoor in for-
bidding conditions the whole time.
“What it underscored for us was the
continued importance of authenticity and
full disclosure,” Reverand said.
Never one to make an easy entrance,
Grylls descends into Death Valley for one
episode this season following a high-alti-
tude skydive. He jumps from 33,000 feet
in temperatures more than 25 degrees
below zero, at a point he can see the cur-
vature of the Earth. He free-falls for three
minutes before his parachute opens and
lands in an astronaut-like suit in tempera-
tures over 125 degrees.
Shortly after the jump, however, his
breath intake tube freezes over. He’s up so
high that taking off his mask is inadvis-
able: The oxygen is so thin that he’d
quickly lose consciousness.
“I’ve been here for 40 years and he is
hands-down the best police chief we
ever had,” Alifano said.
U.S. marshals is the lead agency
responsible for prisoner transport, cap-
turing fugitives and protecting federal
court buildings. The northern district
covers the coastal areas from Monterey
County to the Oregon border.
“I’m honored to have been selected for
this important position and wish to thank
Sen. Feinstein for her recommendation
and President Obama for nominating
me,” O’Keefe said.
He will fly to Washington, D.C. early
in September to get processed and sworn
in by the director, he said.
O’Keefe will work out of San
Francisco and oversee a staff of about
50. The northern district’s duty station is
in San Francisco and it has three court-
houses in Northern California, including
San Jose, Oakland and Eureka.
“We will miss Don and want to thank
him for his years of service to the com-
munity,” Mayor Marina Fraser said.
Bill Silverfarb can be reached by e-mail: sil-
verfarb@smdailyjournal.com or by phone:
(650) 344-5200 ext. 106.
On May 29, Millbrae police arrested
Ahio for allegedly battering and falsely
imprisoning his girlfriend. On July 29,
he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor
battery in return for credit for time
served, 104 hours of counseling and
three years probation.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe said he does not anticipate fil-
ing a probation violation allegation
against Ahio due to the serious nature of
the murder charge.
Afu is the city’s first confirmed mur-
der since 2006. A Millbrae man killed in
2008 is thought to have been shot in that
city but his body was discovered
slumped in a car on a Burlingame street.

China landslide toll rises to 700
By David Wivell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ZHOUQU, China — The death toll from
landslides in northwestern China more than
doubled to 702 Tuesday, as rescue crews in
three Asian countries struggled to reach sur-
vivors from flooding that has imperiled mil-
lions.
Rescuers digging by hand through mud
found a 52-year-old man who had been
trapped for more than 50 hours inside a lev-
eled apartment building in the remote town of
Zhouqu, where more than 1,000 other people
were still listed as missing. Rescuers with
sniffer dogs discovered the man, Liu Ma
Shindan, who was weak but breathing nor-
mally.
Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari
returned home to a storm of criticism after
visiting Europe as his country was gripped by
the worst floods in its history. His arrival
Tuesday came as thousands of people fled a
major city in central Pakistan as rivers threat-
ened to submerge the area.
And rescuers in the desert mountainsides in
Indian-controlled Kashmir recovered more
bodies, with the death toll rising to 165 from
flash floods. Thousands of army and paramili-
tary soldiers continued clearing roads and
removing the debris of hundreds of homes
flattened in the Ladakh region.
About 200 remained missing around
Ladakh, said Lt. Col. J. S. Brar, an army
spokesman. With the road links being
restored, nearly 300 people who fled to higher
ground have returned to their homes, he said.
The disaster in China’s Gansu province was
caused when a debris-blocked swollen river
burst, swamping entire mountain villages in
the county seat of Zhouqu.
Tian Baozhong, the director of civil affairs
in Gansu province, said the death toll now

stood at 702, up from 337 on Monday.
Another survivor, Yang Zhukai, began the
sad task of making simple coffins for the 10 to
20 relatives killed by the mudslide.
“These are all for relatives, for relatives
killed by the mudslide. It was so unexpected
— a huge landslide like this. There’s nothing
left. We managed to escape with our lives. As
far as relatives, 10 to 20 died from my vil-
lage,” he told Associated Press Television
News.
Throughout the area, bodies were seen
wrapped in blankets and tied to sticks or
placed on planks and left on the shattered
streets for pickup.

The ruling Communist Party’s all-powerful
Politburo Standing Committee met early
Tuesday to discuss rescue and relief work, a
move that will likely free up even more
resources.
“It is now a critical time for disaster relief
and rescue work. We must give the highest
prominence to the protection of people’s lives
and properties,” the committee said in a state-
ment.
The government said 1,042 were missing
and about 45,000 were evacuated. It was not
known how many of the missing were in dan-
ger or simply out of contact as workers rushed
to restore communications.
Huge ice island could
pose threat to oil, shipping
STOCKHOLM — An island of ice more
than four times the size of Manhattan is drift-
ing across the Arctic Ocean after breaking off
from a glacier in Greenland.
Potentially in the path of this unstoppable
giant are oil platforms and shipping lanes —
and any collision could do untold damage. In a
worst case scenario, large chunks could reach
the heavily trafficked waters where another
Greenland iceberg sank the Titanic in 1912.
It’s been a summer of near biblical climatic
havoc across the planet, with wildfires, heat
and smog in Russia and killer floods in Asia.
But the moment the Petermann glacier
cracked last week — creating the biggest
Arctic ice island in half a century — may
symbolize a warming world like no other.
“It’s so big that you can’t prevent it from
drifting. You can’t stop it,” said Jon-Ove
Methlie Hagen, a glaciologist at the
University of Oslo.
Fire hits former Nazi
death camp in Poland
WARSAW, Poland — A fire swept through
a barrack at the former Nazi death camp of
Majdanek, destroying more than half the
building and possibly 10,000 shoes of
Holocaust victims, officials said Tuesday.
The Majdanek museum said the fire in the
barrack housing a camp kitchen was discov-
ered shortly before midnight on Monday by a
guard making his rounds. The cause of the fire
is not yet known and authorities are investi-
gating.
In Israel, the director of the Yad Vashem
museum, Avner Shalev expressed sorrow that
the historic site and valuable artifacts had
been damaged or destroyed.
“The damage to these irreplaceable items is
a loss to a site that has such historical value to
Europe, Poland and the Jewish people,”
Shalev said.

U.S.aid winning friends in ravaged Pakistan

By Chris Brummitt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KALAM, Pakistan — U.S. Army choppers
carrying emergency food and water buzzed over
the swollen river and washed-out bridges, land-
ing in the valley once controlled by the Taliban.
They returned laden with grateful Pakistani
flood survivors — newly won friends in a coun-
try where many regard America as the No. 1
enemy.
With Pakistan reeling from two weeks of
flooding that has killed 1,500 and affected near-
ly 14 million people, the aid and rescue mission
by the U.S. military gives Washington a chance
to strengthen a sometimes troubled alliance that
is crucial to fighting militancy in the region and
ensuring a stable Afghanistan.
Besides helping those trapped by the high
water, the U.S. assistance already is having
another effect: The Pakistani Taliban denounced
it and urged a boycott of Western aid.
Other U.S. relief missions to disasters in the
Muslim world — including the 2005 earth-
quake in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir and the
2004 tsunami in Indonesia — were credited
with improving the image of the United States,
at least in the short term.
Now, as U.S. troops work side by side with
Pakistani forces, the mission may relieve some
pressure on the civilian government in
Islamabad. President Asif Ali Zardari, who
returned Tuesday to Pakistan, has been criti-
cized for being abroad since Aug. 1, amid one
of the worst natural disasters in his country’s
history.
The United Nations said hundreds of millions
of dollars in international assistance would be
needed. In Washington, the State Department
announced an additional $20 million in flood
relief, bringing the total U.S. aid in the crisis to
$55 million.
Taliban blamed for sharp
rise in Afghan casualties
KABUL, Afghanistan — The number of
Afghan civilians killed or injured in the war
soared 31 percent in the first six months of the
year, with Taliban bombings and assassina-
tions largely responsible for the sharp rise, the
United Nations reported Tuesday.
Hidden bombs and suicide attacks are
killing and maiming so many Afghans that
Amnesty International urged the Afghan gov-
ernment to seek prosecution of Taliban lead-
ers for war crimes. Women and children are
increasingly bearing the brunt of the conflict
— even as NATO restrains the use of force on
the battlefield.
