Five Redwood City middle-school students are accused of trying to rape two 12-year-old girls on a school eld trip to a local park in March. Although the alleged assault took place three months ago in Stulsaft Park in Redwood City, the girls did not report it until the last
week of school which led to the boys being taken into custody last Wednesday. The boys, whose names are being withheld because they are juveniles, appeared in juvenile court at the Youth Services Center on Monday. Each boy, ages 13 and 14, are charged with felony counts of intent to commit rape, sexual battery and committing a lewd act on a minor under 14 by force. They were arraigned and set for trial next
month, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. The boys are charged as juveniles, meaning if convicted, they cannot be held past their 25 birthday. They could not be charged as adults, Wagstaffe said. School district authorities said the alleged attack occurred March 4 when 20 Kennedy Middle School students went to the park chaperoned by a teacher and an aide. The 10
to one ratio is in accordance with policy, said district spokeswoman Naomi Hunter. The juveniles all belonged to an optional newcomers class for students whove been in the country less than one year, Hunter said. The district didnt disclose if the students involved in the crime were separated from the others as part of the program or left the larger group on their own.

The city of Belmont adopted a balanced budget last night that depends on the continuation of furlough concessions its employees made last year. Its labor agreement with the Belmont Police Ofcers Association expires June 30, however, and rank-and-le ofcers have yet to negotiate wage concessions next year, a fact staff calls one of the budgets biggest weaknesses. The council approved a $59 million base revenue budget for scal year 2011-12 with approximately $15.6 million of that going toward the citys general fund, which pays for core city services such as police, libraries,

The council passed eight resolutions in total related to the budget last night, although, Councilman Dave Warden voted against a resolution to adopt the FY 2011-12 city budget. Warden said he disagreed with some items in the budget but did not elaborate on what those items were last night. The remainder of the resolutions related to master fee schedules, appropriations and special taxes passed unanimously, however. The fire departments budget is set at approximately $6.6 million next year with revenue generated through a property assessment.

Home alarm systems have been also an effective deterrent, Gould said. The police department is asking residents to immediately report any suspicious people or activity in residential neighborhoods by calling 911. Hillsborough police is meeting with several other police agencies to compare similar burglaries that have recently plagued Peninsula communities.

the post-recovery homebuilding sector will employ fewer people than before the downturn, Nickelsburg said. Those jobs will be missed most acutely in the states inland regions. In those areas, far from the urban coastal areas where most new residential demand is expected, single-family home construction had been a chief source of employment before the housing bust. The weakness of the states housing sector will contribute to the slow pace of economic growth expected for the rest of the year, the report said. Employment was forecast to grow at a rate of 1.7 percent through 2011, keeping joblessness no lower than 11.7 percent. The state was unlikely to generate enough jobs to tug unemployment down to the single digits until the second quarter of 2013. The states most recent tally put unemployment at 11.9 percent in April, down from a modern record of 12.6 percent reached in March 2010. The national rate is 9.1 percent. Real personal income was forecast to grow at 1.7 percent in 2011, 3.3 percent in 2012 and 3.8 percent in 2013. Growth will be driven by such sectors as education, health care, exports and technology, all of which are concentrated along the states coast. Inland California, however, will see years of slower growth as it adjusts to a residential construction industry thats bound to stay small for the foreseeable future, the report said. The report noted that building permits for single-family and multi-family dwellings had both fallen to about 20 percent their 2006 peaks in mid-2009. But multi-family permits have since recovered to about 40 percent of their peak level, while single-family permits continue to decline, the report said.

Port awarded homeland security grant
The Port of Redwood City is receiving a $542,490 grant from the Department of Homeland Security to digitally map and collect data about its facilities and infrastructure for a visual port used for safety and emergency response, according to port ofcials. The planned Geographical Information Systems and Tactical Survey Information System has two parts requiring separate contractors. The Homeland Security grant, made through the San Francisco Bay Marine Exchange, will pay for both the $84,000 contract with Redwood City and the $445,405 agreement with Tactical Survey Group, Inc., according to port ofcials. GIS is a digital mapping system that identies utilities, roads, train tracks and land use designations in a series of visual layers. The tactical survey gives port personnel and rst responders advanced visuals and information by integrating the ports applications including security, executive management and operations management. Redwood City nished a GIS project for internal use along with a public version. The citys version lacks much detail about the port and the authorities want to build on that platform rather than creating a new, stand-alone program limited only to the port area, according to port ofcials.
LOS ANGELES Many of the homebuilding jobs lost during the Californias economic downturn wont be coming back to help fuel its recovery, according to an economic study released Wednesday. The quarterly Anderson Forecast from the University of California, Los Angeles, said there would likely be no major rebound in single-family home construction due to the growing dominance of a younger population that prefers urban-style apartment and condo living. What weve seen is this shift toward multifamily housing demand, said the forecasts author, Jerry Nickelsburg. You can see that in the demographics. Since apartment units require far fewer workers than single-family homes,

SAN FRANCISCO A federal judge on Tuesday had a message for those trying to salvage Californias gay marriage ban: Sure, the judge who threw out the measure last year is in a long-term relationship with a man, but he could still be fair to them. Chief U.S. District Court Judge James Wares ruling rejected arguments that former Chief Judge Vaughn Walker would potentially benefit from declaring the ban unconstitutional. In his 19-page decision a response to the rst attempt in the nation to disqualify a judge based on sexual orientation Ware had a

bigger message. Gay judges, he said, are just like minority and female jurists: They can be impartial, too, even in cases that might affect them. We all have an equal stake in a case that challenges the constitutionality of a restriction on a fundamental right, he wrote. The single characteristic that Judge Walker shares with the plaintiffs, albeit one that might not have been shared with the majority of Californians,
gave him no greater interest in a proper decision on the merits than would exist for any other judge or citizen. Ware upheld his retired predecessors ruling that struck down Proposition 8. Finding that Walker could not be presumed to have a personal stake in the case just because he has a same-sex partner, Ware wrote that the judge had no obligation to divulge whether he wanted to
marry before he struck down the ban. The presumption that Judge Walker, by virtue of being in a same-sex relationship, had a desire to be married that rendered him incapable of making an impartial decision, is as warrantless as the presumption that a female judge is incapable of being impartial in a case in which women seek legal relief, he wrote. The ruling does not settle the legal ght over the measure. The sponsors of the ban are planning to appeal Wares ruling. Lawyer Charles Cooper, who represents the conservative religious coalition that put the ban on a 2008 ballot, said he disagrees with the ruling.
LONDON Europe has a lot riding on NATOs mission in Libya, with the campaign widely seen as one spearheaded by European vision and the United States staying on the sidelines. But as the conict enters its fourth month, the continents military leaders are beginning to ask if they can afford to keep up the ght, raising more questions about Europes commitment after big talk from the leaders of Britain and France. Britains top naval ofcer, Adm. Mark Stanhope, warned Monday that his nation its military hob-
bled by severe budget cuts and the continuing cost of the Afghan war would face hard decisions if the Libya mission is not resolved by September. If we do it longer than six months, we will have to reprioritize forces, he said, indicating the current commitments cannot be maintained indenitely. Libya has turned into a major test case for a NATO still seeking to dene itself decades after the Cold War. U.S. strategic planners advocate its use in combat missions in Afghanistan, but European leaders have preferred it to be used for soft power to pressure countries to become more democratic.
WASHINGTON Help is on the way if youre confused by the maze of sun protection numbers and other claims on sunscreens. Starting next summer, you can start looking for SPF 15 bottles and tubes with the label broad spectrum and feel condent theyre lowering your risk of skin cancer. Under new rules published Tuesday, sunscreens will have to lter out the most dangerous type of radiation to claim they protect against skin cancer and premature aging. Broad spectrum is the new buzzword from
the Food and Drug Administration to describe a product that does an acceptable job blocking both ultraviolet B rays and ultraviolet A rays. If a sunscreen doesnt protect against both, or the sun protection factor is below 15, then it has to carry a warning: This product has been shown only to help prevent sunburn, not skin cancer or early skin aging. The guidelines, which spent more than 30 years in bureaucratic limbo, are designed to help consumers like Paul Woodburn, who says hes not sure of the difference between UVA and UVB rays and that he judges sunscreen by one factor alone.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Foster City Planning Commission will hold a Public Study Session at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, June 21, 2011 to review and consider the Future Land Use Planning and Economic Development Issues and Constraints background report, prepared for the Update of the Land Use and Circulation Element of the General Plan. The City of Foster City General Plan is the guiding document for the future vision of the City. The Land Use and Circulation Element establishes a pattern for land use and sets out clear standards for the density of population and the intensity of development for each of the proposed land uses, with a direct tie between the timing, amount, type and location of development with the trafc, service and infrastructure demands such development will generate. The update of the Foster City General Plan (adopted in 1993) is necessary because many of the objectives stated in the existing General Plan have been met. A new General Plan is required to address new planning issues that will emerge. The updated General Plan is intended to be a map for the future that will guide the development and growth of the City while maintaining and enhancing the quality of life. The Future Land Use Planning and Economic Development Issues and Constraints background report is an overview of the issues and constraints that will be inuential with respect to the Citys ability to (re)develop properties throughout the City, as it seeks to increase and strengthen its economic, sales and property tax, and jobs base, allowing existing businesses to expand within the City, as well as respond to its regional fair share housing needs and obligations. Its purpose is to identify the most serious issues and constraints that will challenge the Citys ability to approve new land development projects and to suggest policies and programs for inclusion in the updated Land Use and Circulation Element of the General Plan. SAID Study Session will be held in the Council Chambers, 620 Foster City Boulevard, Foster City, California. The Study Session will be televised on FCTV, Channel 27.

Patients Achieve up to 100% Relief from Chronic Lower Back and Neck Pain Without Drugs or Surgery
F
or millions of people who suffer from chronic lower back pain, Spinal Decompression Therapy frequently offers far more effective treatment than less conservative therapies. Many patients find that Spinal Decompression Therapy provides both immediate and longterm relief. It is a noninvasive therapy that achieves results without surgery, injections, or medications. It can provide relief for herniated discs, degenerative discs, sciatica, general lower back pain, and even failed back surgery. I liked the idea that Spinal Decompression Therapy wasnt invasive, said Paul Pratt, a firefighter for over 30 years. I liked the idea that there were no pharmaceuticals involved and that there was no cutting involved. I was very optimistic, and was thinking that this might work for me. Weeks into his treatment, Pratt began to experience a dramatic change for the better. It just got better and better, he said. I think in my third week of therapy I felt like something had moved. The pain from the sciatica had started to go away. I was getting sensation back. By the end of his therapy, Pratt says he was completely free of pain. His life was back to normal. many smaller nerves to the thigh, knee, calf, ankle, foot, and toes. Spinal discs are sometimes compared to jelly doughnuts. If too much pressure is put on one, the jelly can squirt out. In the human anatomy, this condition is known as a herniated disc. When compressed, the space between vertebrae is reduced, allowing bones to touch nerves. makes the decompression treatment much more effective and comfortable, since the patients body is not fighting against the pull of a machine. A Comfortable Procedure Many patients are a little apprehensive the first time they come in and get on the machine, Dr. Crespo said. However, once they get on it, they all react the same way. There is an immediate sense of relief once the machine starts pulling. They look at you and say My pains gone. After that, its just a matter of them getting comfortable with it. After awhile, a majority will even sleep through the procedure. Heres what one patient says. After the treatment, I really miss coming back and being treated, because I felt like I was at a spa, said Lisa Morrison, who had suffered four herniated discs. The treatment was very comfortable and very relaxing. At the end of some of the treatments, I felt like I had been through a good workout. Like I had gone to the gym and worked out. Enjoying an Active Life Even after patients have been through spine surgery, Spinal Decompression Therapy may still offer relief. To her friends, just seeing Angie Horton waterskiing again is nothing short of a medical miracle. That is because just a few years ago she was recuperating from her third spine surgery and living in constant pain. I really felt that I had two options, she said. It was either a wheelchair or death. I literally felt I was going to end up being a crippled person. I was headed in that direction. Im very glad I did not go under a fourth spinal surgery. While recovering from her third surgery, Horton read an article that introduced her to the science of Spinal Decompression Therapy. I have always said that I dont use the word miracle, she said. I think someone above gets that word. But I would honestly say that this is as close to that word as youll ever get. Within hours of her first treatment, Horton noted that she started to feel relief. And by the end of her sixth week of Spinal Decompression Therapy, she was completely free of pain. Now that she is able to play with her grandchildren and live an active lifestyle, she wonders why her surgeon and other medical experts didnt tell her about this therapy sooner. I actually got to a point where I became angry, she said. And I went through a couple weeks of anger simply because I felt that other people in the medical field should have been obligated to give me this information. Im not against surgery. Im not against all the other things like epidurals, but I feel that they should not be on the forefront. They should be on the backburner. These spinal decompression machines should be the first thing. Once you have a proper diagnosis with an MRI, and if you are a candidate, this should be the very first thing to do. Paul Pratt the firefighter shares much the same feeling. In my mind, Spinal Decompression is what you need to look at first, he says. Ive heard too many stories of surgeries that didnt work, and those people wish they had never had it done. Because, in some cases, they are worse off than they were before. Spinal decompression has got to be your first option. I was not able to work at all for two months, he said. There was nothing I could do. I would go back to work on a light duty position But even on light duty, sitting in a chair doing menial work, after about two days it would cripple me up again to where I couldnt even do that. Along with the physical pain, there was emotional stress. He could no longer enjoy time with his grandchildren and felt all the hopes and dreams for his retirement years were in jeopardy. By the end of his therapy, however, Pratt says he was completely pain free. And a year after his therapy, he is still completely pain free, again doing what he loves. Now hes the captain of his fire department and is enthusiastically planning for retirement. It brought my life back, he added, all the things I was doing before. Playing with the grandchildren, playing with my children. I got to do things with them. Lifting them, rolling around with them, playing with them. All those things came back without limitations.

Patients get to lie back and relax while spinal pressures reach negative levels. Now the natural repair mechanism in the body has a chance to really do its work.
Understanding Back and Leg Pain Pain in the back and lower legs can result when spinal bones rub, irritate, pinch, or choke delicate nerves. This can also impair the function of the tissues, organs, and systems controlled by these nerves. The lower back comprises parts of three basic types. Bones, called vertebrae, are an essential part of the skeletal framework. Discs are the cartilage that cushions or pads and separates the space between the vertebrae. And the spine carries nerves that control muscles, organs, and other essential body functions. Among these, the sciatic nerves are the largest and longest in the body. They exit the spinal cord from the lower spinal column, travel down each leg, and divide into
How Spinal Decompression Therapy Works As its name implies, Spinal Decompression Therapy creates a negative pressure on discs in specific areas, so the cartilage or jelly can realign and return to its proper place. In other words, this vacuum effect draws the herniated material back into the disc, along with water and other nutrients and thus aids healing within the disc. While many people think that any pulling of the spine is traction, there is a substantial difference between old fashioned traction and Spinal Decompression Therapy. The big difference is that with traction, as we have known it for years, it is just a general load pulling the entire spine, said Dr. Luis Crespo, M.D., President National Spine Centers and a member of the National Academy of Pain Management. Traditional, old-style traction does not differentiate between the different levels of the discs. Now, by using motorized spinal decompression, we are able to change the angle of the pull and target specifically any disc that is affected. By doing this, we get much better results than you get with just standard traction. The advanced technology of Spinal Decompression systems allow healthcare professionals to adjust the amount of traction according to the reaction of the patients body. When old fashioned traction is used, the patients body may sense tension as it is being pulled and react by going into spasm. In contrast, the latest Spinal Decompression systems counter this spasm reaction by cycling through a series of pulling and relaxing as the treatment is being administered. This

difcult tasks. We persist, and we persevere. We will not tolerate a safe haven for terrorists who want to destroy Afghan security from within and launch attacks against innocent men, women and children in our country and around the world. So make no mistake: We have a clear goal. We are going to break the Talibans momentum. The occasion was Obama accepting Gen. Stanley McChrystals resignation as U.S. commander in Afghanistan, over the Rolling Stone mess. Only months earlier, Obama had made the courageous and politically dicey
irst-term U.S. presidents are, almost by denition, of two minds about most issues. One mind must focus on whats best for the country; one mind must consider how each decision might play in an eventual re-election campaign. So as Barack Obama weighs advice on what to do about U.S. troop levels in Afghanistan, our hope is that hell remember his own words from one year ago: We need to remember what this is all about. Our nation is at war. We face a very tough ght in Afghanistan. But Americans dont inch in the face of difcult truths or
decision to increase U.S. forces by 30,000 troops to the current 101,000, the most since the initial post-9/11 invasion. Obama took longer than we might have liked to come to that conclusion, but once he did, he set the nations course. Now, the debate is how quickly to bring those troops home. Part of Obamas commitment was to begin withdrawing next month. Some of his advisers argue today for a steeper drawdown than the 3,000 to 5,000 troops anticipated just weeks ago. ... Eventually, negotiations with the opposition Taliban are inevitable. Obamas best move and Americas is to launch those talks from a position of strength, not while backing out the door.
Patriotic millionaires
Editor, I took Keith Kreitmans advice and Googled Patriotic Millionaires, in reference to his column Dispatches from the Land of Oz, in the June 11 edition of the Daily Journal. I saw only red names and no party afliation; however, in keeping with the 2000 color usage to differentiate between blue states being perceived as liberal [Democrats] and red states being perceived as conservative [Republican], I am not sure what to think. There are 237 millionaires serving in Congress. Among the top 25 wealthiest legislators which includes bold-faced names Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein and Olympia Snowe there are 14 Democrats and 11 Republicans, suggesting no clear wealth divisions between party. President Obama and his wife reported income of over $3 million and lets not forget his cabinet members and their staff wealth. I thought we lead by example through the art of negotiation and none of our congressional delegation are standing in line to sign on as a patriot millionaire.

Five stocks rose for every one that fell on the New York Stock Exchange. The government also reported that wholesale prices rose in May by the smallest amount in 10 months. That helped to allay concerns among investors that rising food and energy costs would slow the economic recovery. Stocks have tanked over the past two weeks on concerns that the economy is losing strength. The manufacturing industry is slowing, home sales are weak and the job market remains sluggish. Investors also are nervous because the Federal Reserves $600 billion bondbuying program is winding down at the end of June. The program was aimed at keeping interest rates low to encourage borrowing. The Dow and S&P 500 have lost 4 percent so far this month. The Nasdaq composite has lost 5 percent. In corporate news, Best Buy Co.

Americans bought fewer cars during the month, but that was more a reection of temporary supply chain disruptions caused by the earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan.

NEW YORK J.C. Penney Co. is looking to bite into the magic of Apple. The mid-brow department store chain has named Ron Johnson, who pioneered Apple Inc.s retail stores, its next CEO. He will succeed Myron Ullman III in November, the retailer said Tuesday. During his 11 years at Apple, Johnson led Apples retail stores and has been credited with developing the popular Genius Bar, where customers can get hands-on technical support for their Mac, iPad or other devices. Johnson, 52, will report to Ullman, who will become executive chairman. Johnson will also join J.C. Penneys board of directors in August. Ullman has been CEO and chairman
since December 2004. Apples retail chain has grown to 300 stores in the U.S. and abroad and has become the gold standard for other retailers looking to make their stores modern and exciting. Johnson joined Apple after 15 years at Target Corp., where he was a merchandising executive who led the team that brought designer Michael Graves products to the cheap chic retailer. Penneys shares rose $5.26, or 17.5 percent, to close at $35.37 Tuesday. Ullman, who turns 65 in November, said in an interview with the Associated Press on Tuesday that he had tried to bring Johnson on board about three or four years ago, but it wasnt the right time. However, Ullman and activist board member William Ackman reconnected
with Johnson six months ago. Ackman and Steven Roth, chairman of Vornado Realty Trust, joined the board in January. Johnson is widely recognized and highly regarded in the retail industry for his creativity and innovation, his commitment to empowering employees to deliver an unparalleled customer experience, and to making stores exciting places where people love to shop, Ullman said in a statement. Johnson told the Associated Press it was difcult to leave Apple but added that becoming CEO was a lifelong dream. He said hes joining Penney at a time when momentum is building and said he wants to help re-imagine what I believe to be the single greatest opportunity in American retailing today, the department store.
WASHINGTON The Senate refused to kill a $5 billion annual subsidy for ethanol on Tuesday, backing continued government aid for a Farm Belt-based industry over decit reduction in an era of record red ink. The 40-59 vote, far short of the 60 needed to advance the measure, reected regional as well as partisan differences, a split among Republicans and anything but the nal word on the issue. We continue to spend money that we dont have on things that we dont need,
said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., a prominent decit hawk who led the effort to eliminate the subsidy immediately. Supporters of continued federal spending for ethanol argued it is a leading source of alternative fuel and is needed to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil. With conicts in the Middle East and crude oil priced at more than $100 a barrel, we should be on the same side. Why would anyone prefer less domestic energy production, Sen. Chuck Grassley, RIowa, said on Monday, when the measure was debated at length. Grassleys state leads the nation both
in harvesting corn and blending it into alternative fuel. Other leading ethanolproducing states are Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, South Dakota and Indiana, and all senators from them opposed an end to the subsidy, regardless of political party. Ethanol is blended with gasoline, and subsidized at 45 cents a gallon, with an additional 10 cents for small producers. These tax breaks long have been supported as a way to reduce oil imports by politicians in both parties, emphatically so for many who campaign across Iowa every four years in the states kickoff presidential caucuses. Apple is selling them on its websites and its store for $649 and $749 depending on how much memory they have.

Long-ball assault

For those wondering where the offense went during the high school baseball season, were here to tell you that actually, its alive, well and available for your enjoyment during summer ball. San Mateo Post 82 made the diamond at Hillsdale High look like a Little League eld Tuesday afternoon, knocking the cover off the baseball to the tune of seven home runs en route to shelling Redwood City Post 105 18-6. The game was called after seven innings because of the mercy rule. San Mateo scored nearly as many runs Tuesday as it did all of last weekend when they dropped three straight non-league games. The Shockers inability to keep the opponents off the scoreboard in the games latter frames was their downfall during that stretch. Apparently the answer to that dilemma is to put the game way out of reach way early. We just have to start new every day, said Sean McMillan, who went 2-for-5 with a home run and six runs batted in. Every day is a new day. Baseball is a new thing. We just have to come out strong every day. You can got 0-for4 one day and the next go 4-for-4. Its baseball. Thats the way it is. The Shockers sent 15 different players to the plate, 13 of which got on base, 11 of those via the hit. The seven home runs were hit by seven different players. It wasnt like Redwood Citys offense was non-existent the Blues scored their six runs on nine hits and left a total of nine men on base. The Blues actually jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the rst inning when Matt Eastman singled to right eld on a nice piece of oppositeeld hitting. But San Mateo responded in its half of the frame with the rst of its seven bombs when McMillan fought off a couple of tough pitches, nally getting a pitch he loved and depositing over the right-center eld wall to give the Shockers a 3-2 lead.

SAN FRANCISCO A Northern California youth baseball league has barred Barry Bonds former personal trainer from coaching his sons team.

League president Mike Brunicardi says there were no complaints until this season. Anderson spent three weeks in prison this year for refusing to testify at Bonds trial on charges that he lied about steroids use. Anderson earlier pleaded guilty to steroids distribution. Brunicardi says Anderson is free to register as a coach next season, but will have to undergo a background check like other volunteers.
NEW YORK Dont break out the tailgate gear just yet. An end to the NFL lockout might not be imminent. It does appears much closer than at any point in the last three months, though. Recent progress in labor talks between the league and players has sparked a new sense of optimism, and team owners have been told to be ready to extend their one-day meetings in Chicago next week. The two sides made progress in labor negotiations held Tuesday at an undisclosed location in Maryland. Those talks will go through at least Wednesday and quite possibly to the end of the week. A person with knowledge of the talks told the Associated Press that nalizing an agreement by next weeks owners meetings is unlikely. But a framework for a new collective bargaining deal could be presented in Chicago, with further tweaking extending the work stoppage until the end of the month. A new CBA could be in place before the July 4th weekend, the person added, speaking on condition of anonymity because details of the meeting are not being made public.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia The past two weeks are likely to be a vivid blur in the memories of Tim Thomas, Roberto Luongo and the players who staggered off their nal cross-continent ights Tuesday to put a merciful end to the Stanley Cup nals.
The Vancouver Canucks have traded home victories of increasing intensity with the Boston Bruins for six games, with their veteran goalies dueling before a backdrop of bites, taunts, dangerous injuries and gut-wrenching road losses. The Presidents Trophy-winning Canucks and the profoundly resilient Bruins will play their 107th and nal game when their draining seasons nally end in Game 7 on Wednesday night.

BETHESDA, Md. Luke Donald hasnt won a whole lot, just two stroke play tournaments in the last ve years. And he doesnt hit the ball that far. Quite atypical for the No. 1 player in the world. The 33-year-old Englishman, who is ranked 153rd on the PGA Tour in driving distance, does indeed carry the mantle of the planets top golfer into this weeks U.S. Open. Some might call it a quirk of the system. Others consider it a victory for consistency over streakiness, and a triumph of precision over power. Its refreshing to see that the game is not being out-powered, defending champion Graeme McDowell said Tuesday. His iron play has always been unbelievable, and I think thats one of the keys. I always knew he had a great wedge game and a great short game and a putting stroke to die for, so hes really got his game polished up and driving it a lot better, and hes really got the whole package now.

Once someone hits the ball hard, everyone wants to. Once someone hits a home run, everyone else wants to hit a home run. Its just the way it was. We were all trying to hit the ball hard quality at-bats every time. McMillian wasnt kidding. Derek Merryweather led off the second inning with a blast of his own to increase the San Mateo lead 4-2. The Blues battled back as best they could. With one out in the third, four straight hitters reached base, leading to a pair of Redwood

Chris Lewis led off the third with a solo shot to take the lead right back and the Shockers broke it open in the bottom of the fourth. Barry Timko led things off with a double and Kyle Ferris followed with a walk. Colin Theroux would double to deep right to collect an RBI in the frame and after a Dominic Orlando walk, Daniel Strupeni went yard to where else? rightcenter eld for a three-run tater. Not to be outdone, Andre Mercurio followed Strupenis blast with one of his own for back-to-back jacks. When the dust settled in the fourth, San Mateo had a 10-4 lead.

When were fooling around, thats when we play our

Ive been struggling, but I feel better. It just feels good to get the team going. McMillian would get his second big hit of the afternoon in the sixth when he missed San Mateos eighth home run by mere inches. He had to settle for a bases-clearing double instead. In all, San Mateo collected 17 hits. And despite their 18 runs, they still left nine men stranded in the contest. The shelling proved to be exactly what the Shockers needed after dropping three games over the weekend. (The key was) just not being down on ourselves, knowing that were good baseball players and playing the game the way we know we can, Theroux said.
NEW YORK Andy Roddicks former coach, Jimmy Connors, says that for the American to win another Grand Slam title, hes going to have to come up with something spectacular, and I dont know if he can do that now. The 28-year-old Roddick won the U.S. Open in 2003 and played in four major nals from 2004-09, but has fallen to No. 10 in the rankings. Connors coached Roddick for two years before resigning in 2008. I think for him to win one, hed have to come up with something very, very Jimmy Connors special now, Connors said on a conference call Tuesday to promote next months World TeamTennis match in New York against John McEnroe. The other guys have kind of gotten on to him a bit. The big serve seems to be coming back a lot more, and the guys are Andy Roddick getting the ball in play. Theyve gured out a way. Because all the guys have big serves now, and some of them are even bigger than his. Roddick pulled out of the French Open with a right shoulder injury. At the time, he was mired in a four-match losing streak in singles dating to mid-March. Roddick came back to reach the seminals at Queens Club, losing in straight sets to Andy Murray. He certainly has the weapons, Connors said. I think hes lost a bit of condence. Roddick now heads into Wimbledon, where he has lost in the nal three times to Roger Federer, most recently in a marathon ve-set match two years ago.

The Original Six franchise has never played a Game 7 in the nals, not even while losing its last ve trips to the championship round since 1972. Still, it would be premature to predict that lockout is about to end, the people familiar with the talks told the AP. Yet the atmosphere of negotiations has been more positive than it was previously, creating a sense of movement, they said. That movement toward an agreement might be in both sides best interest after a federal appeals court judge warned the owners and players they might not like the upcoming decisions in legal actions sparked by the lockout. Indeed, the court could delay any rulings if a new CBA appears to be near. He was talking about a ve-nger ring, Jason Terry said. I dont know if you could do that yet. Weve got one championship. Jason Kidd, the teams elder statesman at 38, jokingly took offense to Cuban calling the concept of rings oldfashioned. Im old-fashioned, Kidd said. Winning a ring has been a topic of conversation all season for this club Vancouver was stretched to the limit by defending champion Chicago in the rst round. The Canucks were here in 1994, when Mark Messiers New York Rangers beat them 3-2 in Game 7 and Vancouver hadnt been back to the nals since. Both teams have played under playoff stress this spring, but no pressure in hockey can match the intensity of a close third period in Game 7 of the nals, when one superb play or a single mistake can change a players reputation forever. Anybody who fears that scenario didnt show it after Tuesdays workouts at Rogers Arena. On hand at the meetings were NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell; NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith; several owners, including the Giants John Mara and the Cowboys Jerry Jones; and a large group of players that includes NFLPA president Kevin Mawae, Jeff Saturday, Mike Vrabel, Tony Richardson and Domonique Foxworth. Although no deadlines have been set for the opening of training camps, the 32 teams soon must decide whether to delay them, particularly those clubs that stage a portion of camp out of town. because none of the 15 players had ever won one. Theyd played a combined 133 season without any of them being crowned a champion. As a player and a historian of the game, you want the ring, Terry said. You look at the Sports Illustrated cover of Bill Russell holding those rings. Youve seen Phil Jacksons rings. You want that ring. That means a lot. Thats a thing you can go to your grave with. This is playoff hockey at its nest, Vancouver center Manny Malhotra said. No one wants to budge on home ice. This entire series has been a full playoff experience, lled with a lot of different types of games. And nobody exemplies this series strange duality better than Luongo. Vancouvers enigmatic goalie has been outstanding at home, allowing just two goals in three games while posting two 1-0 shutouts, but the Canucks $10 million man was horric in Boston, giving up 15 goals in slightly more than four periods while getting pulled twice, including from Game 6. Settling before July 4 almost certainly would provide for full training camps at previously planned locations. First would come a free agency period, including the signing of undrafted rookies, and probably minicamps, which already have been canceled by the lockout that began March 12. The lockout also has cost the league and some teams advertising and sponsorship money, and some players have not collected workout bonuses. At least seven teams have instituted paycuts or furloughs of employees who are not players.
DALLAS Mark Cubans idea to celebrate an NBA championship with something other than a ring is being soundly rejected by his players, his coach and the top guy in the front ofce. Weve got to talk to him about that, said Dirk Nowitzki, the nals MVP. I dont think the last word has been spo-

Want to spoil Dad this Fathers Day? Skip the grill. Its become a cliche, anyway. Instead, try something new and truly over-the-top with a cut of pork most people never consider the belly. Though usually turned into bacon, pork bellies can be delicious even without the curing process. Its thin strips of meat layered between succulent fat are delicious braised. If youve never had braised pork belly, keep in mind that like bacon, its incredibly rich. And incredibly high in calories. Perfect for a special indulgence. For this recipe, weve cooked the meat in a braising liquid of dark beer and root veggies. The mixture is pureed afterward to create a rich gravy, perfect served with mashed potatoes or over egg noodles.

A healthy,indulgent burger
By Jim Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
An indulgent burger can be the perfect treat for Dad on Fathers Day, but its hard to balance that sentiment with the urge to keep him healthy. That doesnt mean you have to toss out the idea of a real burger in favor of a avorless low-fat patty wedged between a axseed and bran bun. You just need to think moderation to create the kind of sandwich that would please even the most avid burger guy. Start by going with the mini-burger or slider concept. Theyre small, fun and set the stage for the kind of portion control that will allow you to include all the indulgent ingredients that make burgers great. Our recipe for Southwestern chicken sliders is a great example of this. We start with a ground chicken patty, which is much lower in total fat and saturated fat than beef. Most markets offer a choice of ground chicken breast (which is the leanest) or just ground chicken, which has a bit more fat and, as a result, a bit more avor. Whichever way you go, we recommend working some seasonings into the meat before forming the patty.
For our toppings, we choose luxurious ingredients with the kind of big avors and textures that allow you to use small amounts with great effect. Shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese is melted over each patty, then sprinkled with a modest amount of real bacon bits. To build on this smokiness and add some serious heat, we make a chipotle mayo by blending reduced-fat mayonnaise with some of the adobo sauce that comes in a can of chipotles. You also can use chipotle salsa (sold in cans often near the chipotles in the Mexican section of the grocer) or even dried, ground chipotle. Taste as you add the seasoning to get the desired amount of heat. And of course, we add some fresh shredded lettuce and sliced tomato, because no self-respecting super burger would be complete without them.
1/3 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese 1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon 8 mini burger buns or rolls 1/4 cup canned french fried onions 1/2 cup shredded Boston lettuce 2 cocktail (golf ball-size) tomatoes, sliced Heat a gas grill to high or light a charcoal re. In a medium bowl, mix together the ground chicken, salt and pepper. Form into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties. Place the patties on a plate and set aside. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and adobo sauce. Set aside. Using a vegetable oil-soaked paper towel held with tongs, oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken burgers, ipping once, until a thermometer registers 165 F at the center, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Top each burger with some of the cheese and bacon, then continue grilling until melted. Meanwhile, toast the rolls at the edge of the grill. To assemble, spread some of the mayonnaise mixture on the top and bottom of each roll. Place a burger on each roll bottom and top with some of the French fried onions, shredded lettuce and a tomato slice. Top with remaining roll halves.
PASO ROBLES Wild spring weather across Californias wine country has been enough to drive a vintner to drink. From killer snow in the Sierra Nevada foothills to dry-season downpours along the coast to a hard freeze in temperate Paso Robles, 2011 is proving a challenging vintage. Thats what makes this business so damned interesting, said Jim Fiolek, executive director of the Santa Barbara County Vintners Association. It also can keep winemakers up at night. Jason Haas, general manager of Tablas Creek Vineyard near Paso Robles, said winemaker Neil Collins has experienced many sleepless nights this spring. These people who envy the winemakers lifestyle should drive around here with Neil at 3 a.m. when he knows its freezing and theres nothing he can do about it, Haas said. Vintners have long joked that the weather is just like last year different. But people expect to nd constants in the nations premiere grape-growing state. Rain is expected to taper in April and end by May, then not return until November. In those months, balmy temperatures awaken dormant vines from their winter slumber and buds start to break. This year there has been frost and record rain in June. Sustained temperatures over 70 didnt hit until this week in most wine regions. Now just days before the ofcial start of summer it looks like early spring across California wine country. Buds are just emerging and the fruit is forming far behind schedule. This weather is causing all kinds of problems, but its not the rst time and not the last, Fiolek said. Other products have a more ephemeral lifetime, but ours goes on and on and tells the story of the weather pattern.

dont even know the outcome yet, said Josh Bendick, winemaker at Hollys Hill in the Sierra-Nevada foothills, where 4 inches accumulated May 15 on 6-inch shoots of viognier, an early blooming white wine-grape. At Tablas Creek this week, Haas checked vines on the rolling 105-acres, where organically grown grapes are used to produce the critically acclaimed Rhone blends. Two allnight freezes in early April, which followed a warm March, wiped out the winerys entire crop of grenache, grenache blanc, viognier and marssane. Theyre key ingredients in the companys wine blends and 35 percent of its acreage. Of the blocks that were out (leang) we had 100 percent damage, said Haas, adding that only the neighbors with overhead sprinkling systems were spared. and that multiple witnesses were being interviewed. Investigators have revealed that one of the people involved in the case had a storage unit at All-American and the purpose of their presence on site was indeed related to the storage unit, San Mateo police Sgt. David Norris wrote in a prepared statement. Although some video footage was available, detectives are still reviewing and evaluating it and it remains part of the active investigation, according to the statement. Detectives have determined that this was an isolated incident, and that, although this was not a targeted act on Lockwood, there is sufcient information to Design review for exterior modications to a home or commercial property will now cost $4,451 compared to $4,239 last year. A plumbing permit fee will now cost $114 compared to $108 last year. Some questions were raised, however, as to what kind of discretion city staff has in imposing the fees.

Saute until the onion is tender and seasonings are fragrant, about 5 minutes. Grapes are resilient plants that produce the best-tasting fruit while stressed. They can recover and push new shoots after a freeze, as Tablas Creek and others now are seeing. But vineyards are tediously pruned each winter to place canes for optimal bunch growth. Now the new shoots are sprouting randomly like unwanted facial hair in places Haas wishes they werent. Its just weird, Haas said. The cooler weather has left plant development a month behind schedule in some regions, saving some plants but creating the prospect of harvests in late October and early November, even early ripening pinot noir. Now growers are hoping for a warm fall. Pinot in November? Thats just plain crazy, said winemaker Mike Waller at Calera Wine Company in Hollister. lead detectives to believe that this was not a random act of violence, according to the statement. Paramedics responded to All-American Self Storage on East Third Avenue and Detroit Drive at about 1:30 p.m. June 7 on a medical call and found Lockwood dead. Police could not conrm that Lockwood may have scufed with someone before he was stabbed or whether he went to the storage facility alone or with an acquaintance. The victim did, however, have a lengthy history of arrests. Lockwood was arrested twice this year in San Mateo County for refusing to give a Everyone should pay the maximum fee so the city can recover its cost, Wozniak said. NDNU paid far less than the city would typically charge, Finance Director Thomas Fil said.

Dont let the name confuse you. This is an easy, delicious and summery dessert, not a reference to the person standing at the grill. A fool is a classic British dessert made from a fruit compote and whipped cream. Traditionally, the two components are folded together, but they also can be layered in a parfait glass. In our revision, weve opted to grill the fruit rather than cook it on the stovetop. Grilling the fruit keeps your kitchen cool and adds a wonderful smoky-caramel avor to the fruit. Weve opted for a mixture of strawberries and peaches, but pineapple and banana with a little toasted coconut on top would be a great tropical fool. Or use apples and pears with a little cinnamon added to the whipped cream.

Start with the mixed fruit, then spoon whipped cream over it and repeat until the glass is lled. Alternatively, fold the cooled fruit into the whipped cream and spoon the mixture into glasses.

Simms, 61, retired last year from Walnut Valley Unied School District a district serving about 14,000 students in kindergarten through high school located in Southern California. In December, she was given the opportunity to hold a short-term superintendent position in Los Gatos. As a result, Simms realized she wasnt ready to retire. Dr. Simms has been a successful superintendent for over 20 years in a variety of settings, said board President Mark Hudak. Hudak added Simms has the experienced leadership the district wanted. Also, Simms has a history of good relationships with employee groups, the community at large and parents, he said. In May, the board along with some parents, administrators and principals had a chance to visit Los Gatos Union School District to meet with Simms. Each group had the opportunity to interview Simms on issues important to them and provide feedback to the board, Hudak said. Simms was the only candidate who was visited. On Thursday, the board will vote on a three-year contract which runs from July 6 through June 30, 2014. Under the agreement, Simms would receive an annual salary of $200,000 and annual stipends for $1,000 in recognition of her masters degrees and $1,500 in recogni-

and 2010, Vasin reportedly charged Ronelle Kotter $300 per hour for medical treatment at his ofce and her Belmont home. Vasin treated Kotters daughter in 2003 after meeting the family through church and later began treating Kotter, Dabel said. Vasin allegedly told Kotter the multiple sclerosis diagnosis she received at the University of California at San Francisco was wrong and she actually had Lyme disease. He directed her to cut her prescribed pills in half and injected her with cerebrolysin, proserin and Vitamin B-12. Kotters daughter told authorities Vasin said Stanford Medical Center doctors misdiagnosed her with dermatomyositis when she really had lupus. He convinced her that eating watermelon in a hot tub would help her kidneys and also treated her with vitamins. In April 2010, Kotters family contact-
A testimonial from a client identied only as R.K. from Belmont, said she battled Lyme disease for 15 years but her health noticeably improved within a week of his treatment and he was able to eliminate all her prescription drugs. The testimonial said Vasin also treated her 23-year-old daughter by using equipment that made conclusions quicker than western technology. I believe Dr. Vasin is a true genius, the R.K. testimonial stated. Other testimonials include one attributed to M.J. in Foster City. None of the testimonials, or information, on the site can be veried, Dabel said. One challenge is that Vasin may hold a doctorate, making him a doctor although not a medical practitioner, but they would be from outside the country. I think that may be the potential argument, that he is a doctor of some sort, Dabel said. Defense attorney Jeff Boyarsky did not return a call for comment. Vasin is free from custody on a $30,000 bail bond. safety of our students, and we are thankful the police acted quickly after the students reported this incident to their counselor. Our rst priority is to assure that students are always safe at school and on eld trips, Christensen said in a prepared statement.

In order to be happier and accomplish more, one of the more significant things youll do in the year ahead is try to bring various segments of your life into better balance. Once you do, the results will be extremely gratifying.
GeMInI (May 21-June 20) -- Generally, teaming up with someone usually turns out to be rather fortunate for you, but today could prove to be an exception. Go it alone if at all possible, or put off your plans until another time. CanCeR (June 21-July 22) -- If you find that you
have more responsibilities piling up than you can handle, do what you can without becoming frustrated. Youll take care of business in due time. LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be careful how you handle some shocking hearsay conveyed by a talkative friend. If you repeat it to others without first having its validity checked, trouble could ensue. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Friends or associates wont think less of you for avoiding problem areas that could cause you trouble. In fact, theyll admire you for your good judgment. LIBRa (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Youre a person who usually doesnt turn a deaf ear to the advice or suggestions of cohorts. Today, to your loss, youll have little interest in what others are saying.
sCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If there are persons involved in your commercial affairs with whom youve never before dealt, tread slowly and cautiously. Check them out first before doing business. saGITTaRIus (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Avoid being compelled to make an important decision under strong pressure, especially if your judgment isnt running up to par. Postpone doing so until another time. CaPRICORn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- All those nasty jobs youve been putting off might catch up with you and demand attention. It isnt likely that youll have as much latitude as last time. aQuaRIus (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It is never a good day to champion an unpopular cause, but now may be an exceptionally bad time to do so. Dont force your
views on others, unless you relish a hostile reception. PIsCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- The disorder you find in your household may be your doing more than anybody elses, especially if you are having one of your moody days. The finger of blame will be pointed squarely at you. aRIes (March 21-April 19) -- Avoid making any commitments, regardless if they are verbal or written. What people say or even put in writing will not stand the test of time, and will come back to haunt you. TauRus (April 20-May 20) -- If you need an emissary or someone to represent you in a matter that is of great importance to you, be extremely selective. If you make a bad choice, the issue will get worse. Copyright 2011, United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

WORLD
demanding an end to the regimes nearly 33-year rule. In Washington, the State Departments counterterror coordinator said the U.S. is worried that the ongoing unrest in Yemen could fuel connections between al-Qaidalinked militants there and alShabab insurgents in Somalia. The American official, Daniel Benjamin said insurgents in Yemen are trying to take advantage of the turmoil in their country, are operating more in the open and have been able to acquire and hold more territory. Residents in Shabwa, one of the al-Qaida strongholds in southern Yemen, are reporting intensifying overights by U.S. drones, suggesting the Americans are keeping close watch on the situation. The CIA is trying to speed up construction of a Persian Gulf base for its drones, but the process is being held up by logistic delays, U.S. ofcials said. The ofcials, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security matters, said the base is at least eight months away from completion. The Associated Press has withheld the exact location at the request of U.S. ofcials. In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, foreign ministers of the Gulf Cooperation Council discussed ways to resurrect their initiative aimed at resolving the crisis. The United States and Saudi Arabia are trying to persuade the ruling party to move forward with the GCC deal that would end Salehs rule, hand power to his vice president, create a unity government and conduct elections within two months. Saleh accepted the idea three separate times but balked at the last minute. On Tuesday, tens of thousands of young people crowded outside the home of acting president Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who assumed power when Saleh left. The crowd vowed to stay outside
SANAA, Yemen Hundreds of thousands of Yemenis demonstrated in nearly every major city of the country on Tuesday, demanding trial for the family and close aides of the ailing president. They were the largest protests since President Ali Abdullah Saleh went abroad for medical treatment for injuries suffered in an attack on his compound. Some of Salehs family and closest aides remained behind, and Yemen remains locked in a power struggle between the presidents allies and tribesmen
Hadis home which is protected by special forces led by Salehs son until their demands were met. Many in Salehs inner circle remain in positions of power, including his son Ahmed, who commands the special forces and Yemens Republican Guard. Hadis role in the power struggle is unclear, but he has met with the opposition, suggesting hes willing to exercise some constitutional authority. Saleh is being treated in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, along with several government officials wounded in the June 3 rocket attack on the presidential compound.
