High-speed rail pushing for phased approach


Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide firm abruptly quits HSR project
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The California High-Speed Rail Authority is moving forward with a phased approach on the Peninsula that will allow for an initial limited level of service on the Caltrain corridor. It is not ditching plans to study a

full buildout of the system on the San Francisco to San Jose section of the line, however, as proposed by U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, and two state lawmakers on the Peninsula. The authority continues to pursue an environmental study that calls for building a complete four-track system that will mostly be elevated on

the Peninsula, despite Assemblyman Rich Gordon, DMenlo Park, state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, and Eshoo urging the authority to minimize construction impacts on the Peninsula. The three lawmakers want highspeed rail trains to share the existing two-track system with Caltrain in a blended system and scrap the

environmental impact report for the full buildout. The three made the proposal to quiet the controversy related to a four-track elevated viaduct alternative, which is shown to be the primary option for the Peninsula in early designs. Ditching the EIR for the full buildout, however, is inconsistent

with Proposition 1A and could open the authority up to lawsuits under the California Environmental Quality Act, rail authority Deputy Director Jeff Barker previously told the Daily Journal. Selling the full buildout idea on the Peninsula hit a snag Thursday,

Getting patriotic in Redwood City


74th annual parade honors firefighters,American spirit
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Compared to the last redistricting effort a decade ago, the county is really reaching out to the public, according to one county supervisor who is again involved in the effort. Unfortunately, the public isnt reaching back. Its a different climate, said Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson, referring to both politics and population. Jacobs Gibson helped settle supervisorial district lines after the last U.S. Census and is again on a subcommittee that will make recommendations to the full Board of Supervisors. Supervisor Adrienne Tissier is the second member.

But while Jacobs Gibson doesnt remember much public outreach last time, the League of Women Voters is facilitating community meetings where resiRose dents can offer Jacobs Gibson s u g g e s t i o n s . Attendance at the rst two of the ve planned workshops has been very, very light, however, Jacobs Gibson said. The two June meetings one in Menlo Park and another in Half Moon Bay left Jacobs Gibson worrying that residents either dont care or will bombard the Board of

THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME
by David L. Hoyt and Jeff Knurek

Strange but True


West weather turns July 4 into skiers paradise
As the Fourth of July holiday weekend kicks off, people across the U.S. West are donning shorts, bikini tops and Hawaiian shirts and then theyre hitting the slopes. Ski resorts from California to Colorado opened for the weekend to take advantage of an unusual combination of dense lingering snow from lateseason storms in the Sierra Nevada and the Rockies and a high-pressure system ushering in warm air from the east. Resort operators were reporting large crowds, balmy temperatures and plenty of bare skin. Ive seen bathing suits, funny costumes like Hawaiian skirts and silver sequined pants. Shorts are very standard today, said Rachael Woods, a spokeswoman for Californias Alpine Meadows, which has offered Independence Day skiing just one other time in its 50-year history. People are coming off the slopes and putting on ip-ops. The weather at the base of the mountain was in the upper 50s Fahrenheit (low teens Celsius). At Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort in Utah, 783 inches (1,989 centimeters) of snow this season smashed the old record of 688 inches (1,748 centimeters) set in the winter of 1983-84. By the time the resort closes for the season after Mondays holiday, it will have been open a record 202 days. Colorados Arapahoe Basin Ski Area drew more than 1,500 skiers and snowboarders Saturday about half as many people as a regular-season weekend day, said spokeswoman Leigh Hierholzer. The resort, located 70 miles (113 kilometers) west of Denver, last offered skiing on the Fourth of July weekend in 1997, she said. The weather allowed some of the more adventurous skiers at Arapahoe to try pond skimming, a blend of snow skiing and waterskiing in which an individual picks up as much speed as possible going downhill and then attempts to coast over the top of a mid-mountain lake. But while snow-sport enthusiasts are celebrating, the peculiar conditions are proving frustrating and even deadly for visitors to some of the Wests popular camping and hiking destinations. This years massive snowpack is thawing, causing rivers and streams to surge and prompting ood warnings. At Yosemite National Park in California, one hiker was killed and another remained missing after they were swept off a bridge into a reservoir Wednesday by unusually high runoff. Several of the parks popular high-country campgrounds, cabins and other amenities remain closed due to snow. Ofcials at nearby Stanislaus National Forest have had to turn away disappointed visitors seeking permits to hike the popular backcountry this weekend, said Karen Caldwell, summit district ranger for the forest, located primarily in Tuolumne County. Much of the terrain above 8,000 feet (2,400 meters) remains blanketed in snow, while some lower-elevation areas are blocked by high- and fast-running creeks and overowing rivers. Oregon and Wyoming both saw their second-wettest spring in 117 years of record keeping as a result of late-season snowmelt and abundant rain, according to the National Climatic Data Center. Despite the potential hazards, chilled rivers and snowy mountains might sound pretty good to those battling scorching heat that reached triple digits in some places.

Tavern boss happy as clam with chowder title


BOSTON A restaurant celebrating its 25th anniversary this year also is celebrating the prestigious title of Bostons Best Chowder. More than 200 gallons of clam chowder were ladled out to thousands of people at a contest called Chowderfest here on Sunday to determine who makes New Englands signature dish of clams, cream and potatoes the best. The winner: Clancys Restaurant in Dennisport, on Cape Cod. Clancys Restaurant and tavern manager Joan Perez says a lot of passion and late-night hours by the incredible kitchen staff went into the chowder. She says the chowder title is especially dear to the Clancys staff because owner Guy Erickson died in April.

Bay Area transit officers kill man on platform


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO A man reportedly armed with a knife on a Bay Area Rapid Transit station platform in San Francisco was shot and killed by police, transit ofcials said Monday. BART spokesman Linton Johnson said dispatchers received a call of a wobbly drunk on the platform of the Civic Center/UN Plaza station at around 9:30 p.m. Sunday. Two transit ofcers arrived and then reported shooting a man, who died about an hour later.

Investigators were trying to determine whether the man killed was the same person originally reported to be drunk. Investigators reported nding broken glass and knives at the scene One BART ofcer suffered cuts and bruises on his arm. Both ofcers have been placed on administrative leave, as is standard policy. Neither the shooting victim nor the ofcers involved have been identied, though BART ofcials said the dead man was white, as was one of the ofcers. The other ofcer was described by the agency as Asian.

BART is battling an image problem after a white ofcer shot and killed an unarmed black passenger on New Years Day 2009 at a station in Oakland, a killing that sparked widespread debate and prompted racial unrest in that city. Johannes Mehserle quit the police force shortly after the shooting and was later charged with murder for shooting Oscar Grant in the back while Grant was pinned face down on Oaklands Fruitvale station. Mehserle was convicted of involuntary manslaughter after testifying he meant to use his Taser rather than his gun. 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, July 6 at the Church of the Holy Cross, 900 Alameda de las Pulgas in Belmont.

State budget providing funds for prison changes


By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Californias budget provides the framework for the state to comply with a federal court order to slice its prison population by more than 20 percent over the next two years but also acknowledges the state is not likely to meet its initial deadline. Plans for the change gained urgency this spring after the U.S. Supreme Court, on a 5-4 decision, upheld the authority of a federal judicial panel to order the release of inmates to relieve overcrowding and improve conditions. The centerpiece of the states response was funded in the budget that Gov. Jerry Brown signed last week. It will redirect $5 billion from state sales and vehicle taxes to local governments so they can accommodate some 40,000 lower-level offenders who otherwise would serve their sentences in a state prison. While they provided the money, lawmakers also delayed the program to give the state and counties time to coordinate. The change will begin Oct. 1 instead of in July, making it unlikely the state can meet the federal courts Dec. 27 deadline to reduce its prison population by about 10,000 inmates. Were of the opinion that, based on the information that we have right now, that even if they started tomorrow they cant meet the benchmark, said Don Specter, director of the nonprot Berkeley-based Prison Law Ofce, which has been a plaintiff against the state in several prison-related cases. Whether the delay matters will be up to the three-judge panel that has been overseeing the case. While the delay puts the state at risk of violating the court order, the fact that the new budget provides the money to accomplish it may buy the state more time. State Corrections Secretary Matthew Cate noted

Chestnut wins fifth hot dog contest


By Verena Dobnik
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Joey Chestnut scarfed down 62 hot dogs to win his fth consecutive Fourth of July hot dog eating contest at Coney Island the equivalent of about 20,000 calories in 10 minutes. It wasnt a personal best for the 27-year-old nicknamed Jaws, but it was enough to out-eat second-place nisher Patrick Bertoletti by nine wieners. Chestnut, of San Jose won $10,000 and the coveted mustardyellow belt. I feel great! he said after the contest, adding that he was going to drink a lot of water and avoid hot dogs for a few days. Chestnut started at a blistering pace but couldnt beat his own

record of 68 because I kept messing up, he said, pausing for a burp. Excuse me, he told reporters squeezed around him. Bertoletti, of Chicago, won $5,000, and third-place contestant Tim Janus, of New York, won $2,500. This year, for the rst time, the annual contest in front of Nathans Famous fast-food stand was broken into two divisions, one for men and one for women. Sonya Thomas, known as the Black Widow of competitive eating, won with 40 downed dogs, earning her $10,000 and her own pink champions belt. Im so happy! said Thomas, of Alexandria, Va. She started out neck-and-neck with second-place nisher Juliet Lee

but later pulled ahead. I looked over, and I said, No way! But I have to focus myself, because I cannot keep up with her now, Thomas said. Instead, she preserved her biggest jolt of energy for the winning end. Lee, of Germantown, Md., ate 29 1/2 wieners, and Stephanie Torres, of Las Cruces, N.M., downed 28 1/2. Both Thomas and Chestnut broke world records in 2009, he with 68 and she with 41. Chestnuts chief rival, Takeru Kobayashi, stayed away from the contest this year, staging a separate competition where he ate 69 dogs in 10 minutes which would have been a world record. The slim Japanese champ held the record for hot dog eating from 2001 to 2007.

NEW YORK The U.S. marked the 235th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with parades, reworks, barbecues plus presidential campaigning, a White House birthday and competitive eating. Thousands were showing up near the Washington Monument to eagerly await the annual reworks show on the National Mall, while others were throwing on Hawaiian shirts and shorts to ski the still-snowy slopes at resorts from California to Colorado. In Boston, the annual Boston Pops concert was a must. In Akron, Ohio, the Rib, White & Blue Food Festival was enticing. And then, there were Nevadas casinos, which promised a pyrotechnics extravaganza that could be a gamblers best bet. On New Yorks Coney Island, the annual Nathans Famous July Fourth hot dog-eating contest brought out the biggest names in competitive eating for a clash that was short in timespan but high in calories. Joey Jaws Chestnut, of San Jose wolfed down 62 hot dogs and buns during the 10-minute contest, winning his fth straight title. Sonya The Black Widow Thomas chowed her way to victory in the rst-ever women-only contest, eating 40 hot dogs, one shy of her 2009 total. For 28-year-old New Yorker Matthew Penberg, the holiday is a day off from his job as a bus boy. I get to take a break and go to the beach, he said. And today is the day people, Americans, demanded their rights. I dont think were there yet. I think we should have a right to a job, but a lot of people have to look for it. At the mountaintop home to Thomas Jefferson in Charlottesville, Va., ofcials continued a nearly ve-

decade-old tradition of swearing in new U.S. citizens. Seventy-seven people took their oaths during a naturalization ceremony at Monticello. The holiday is celebrated as the nations birthday, but it also was Malia Obamas 13th birthday. The presidents eldest daughter had to share her parents with hundreds of others as Barack Obama and rst lady Michelle Obama invited troops and their families to attend a special barbecue and USO concert on the South Lawn. Some of the Republicans hoping to replace Obama in the White House spent part of the day campaigning in states where presidential politics are as much a part of the holiday as reworks and barbecues U.S. Rep. Michelle Bachmann, of Minnesota, marched in a parade in Clear Lake, Iowa. In New Hampshire, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman both marched in the Amherst parade. Businessman and GOP hopeful Herman Cain skipped the parades but threw out the rst pitch at a minor league baseball game in Manchester, N.H. Aside from the politicking and the handshaking and the enthusiasm that our campaign is determined to generate in this state, were going to reect on what it means to be an American, Huntsman told reporters.

PRI wins key Mexico state election in huge landslide


By Adriana Gomez Licon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TOLUCA, Mexico The decisive victory by Mexicos Institutional Revolutionary Party in voting for governor of the countrys most populous state has given it momentum heading into national elections in 2012, when it will seek to retake the presidency. The party, which governed Mexico for 71 uninterrupted years before being tossed out by voters in 2000, also scored wins in two other states on Sunday, but it was the vote in massive Mexico state with its 15 million inhabitants that observers were watching closely. The states current PRI governor, the telegenic Enrique Pena Nieto, is the early presidential front-runner and even though he didnt run in Sundays vote many see the results as a barometer of his popularity. Sundays strong showing is sure to strengthen his chances in presidential voting next year. With 91 percent of ballot boxes scrutinized, PRI candidate Eruviel Avila had 62.4 percent support, while Alejandro Encinas of the leftist Democratic Revolution Party, or PRD, had 21.2 percent and Luis Felipe Bravo Mena of President Felipe Calderons National Action

Party had 12.5 percent. Two private exit polls showed similar results. Avila had a 30-percentagepoint lead in the over Enrique Nieto polls Encinas heading into the vote, and his stunning 40point win will be seen as a sign of the PRIs strength and political invincibility going forward. Avila thanked voters for the victory and said he would seek consensus as governor. We are the party of the present and the future, said the PRIs national leader, Humberto Moreira, alluding to the partys expectations of returning to the presidency after more than a decade out of power. Bravo Mena of the PAN conceded defeat, but Encinas refused to recognize the result and said he would legally protest the election. His party has led complaints with the national elections tribunal over alleged PRI campaign violations. In more than 80 years, the PRI has never lost the governorship of Mexico state, home to the sprawling, impoverished suburbs that ring Mexicos capital.

Strauss-Kahn faces new sexual assault complaint


PARIS Dominique StraussKahn faced a potential new sexual assault investigation Monday after a young French writer said she would formally accuse him of trying to rape her during a 2002 book interview a dizzyDominique ing turn of Strauss-Kahn events just as the former IMF chiefs fortunes seemed to be growing brighter. With France debating his possible return to presidential politics, Strauss-Kahn swiftly hit back at author Tristane Banons plans to take him to court over the attempted rape accusations, labeling her account imaginary and countering with his own plans to le a criminal complaint of slander. The sordid exchange may have deep ramications for the 2012 presidential race in France, where the surprise weakening of the sexual assault case against Strauss-Kahn in

The total divided equally out over the ve districts pencils out to just more than 143,690 residents although the population shifts in specic districts have varied differences. District Two had the largest change, jumping 4.7 percent from 134,868, followed by District One with a 3.1 percent increase. Districts Three and Five gained only a slight population, with .4 percent and .3 percent respectively. Only District Four lost residents, dropping .4 percent from 131,619 to 131,067. District Four, Jacobs Gibsons territory, includes the communities of Redwood City, Menlo Park and East Palo Alto and the unincorporated areas of North Fair Oaks and Oak Knoll.

Port benefits are as important as housing


By Greg Greenway

Guest perspective
so it is timely to clarify our stance. SIA has not taken a position on whether the Cargill site should be developed. Our message is simple: If the Redwood City community decides that some portion of the property should be developed into housing, then the principles of good planning require that any project must work well with existing businesses. Location is everything for maritime-related industry. SIA members value their place in Redwood City, and they invest heavily in modernizing their companies (more than $40 million in the past few years) because they rely on strategic access to water, rail and the freeway that the existing port area provides. They also have nowhere else locally to go. Conditions that are normal and necessary for industrial operations (noise, nighttime lights, weekend work, etc.) are not appropriate in other parts of the developed community. Regarding the Saltworks Environmental Impact Report (EIR), SIA makes three main points. The current proposal does not do nearly enough to ensure land-use compatibility. From the standpoint of responsible planning, it makes no sense for future homeowners or the city to locate new homes immediately across the street from heavy industry. There are examples from other California ports where this mistake has led to unnecessary conict. The transportation plan as described in the project application (resulting in 70,000 added car trips daily) is much too vague to be studied in an EIR. Until the proposal is more detailed, it is impossible to assess the projects impacts on trafc. SIA has condence in the public process. Most of our EIR comments are practical recommendations about how to study land-use compatibility and trafc impacts. City leaders have wisely pursued a planning process that gives the developer an opportunity to change the project design before beginning the EIR. This is precisely what DMB/Cargill claims to be doing in response to initial public comments. While the current Saltworks proposal fails to address land-use compatibility in a meaningful way, SIA is reserving judgment pending the next version of the project. Realistic strategies to address compatibility include both: (a) establishing substantial buffers between industrial and non-industrial uses, and (b) proposing compatible development along Seaport Boulevard that is not sensitive to adjacent industry (e.g., light industry, public infrastructure or port expansion). At this point, the developer has a choice: Pursue a path of land-use conict, or take an enlightened approach to change which respects (and potentially enhances) the unique value of Redwood Citys industrial corridor. The rst should be a non-starter, while the second would merit a thorough analysis to help determine the best interests of the community, including job-producing industry.
Greg Greenway, executive director of the Seaport Industrial Association, can be reached at seaportindustrial@yahoo.com.

mid the controversy over Cargills proposal to develop its Redwood City salt ponds, there is one signicant point of agreement: the adjacent Port of Redwood City and local industry in the Seaport area provide major societal benets that must be preserved for the long term. Redwood City leaders understand that Seaport industry is a vital asset to the entire region. The citys new General Plan reects this fact, and includes policies to promote a vibrant industrial sector. Business leaders and home owners also know that lower prices, reduced freeway trafc and cleaner air result from local businesses having goods delivered by water and rail. Environmental groups that oppose Saltworks have emphasized the value of the port, and some labor groups have expressed serious concern about how the project would affect union jobs. Even the Saltworks developer intends to use products from the port for construction, and they claim the project will complement industrial companies that have been operating successfully for decades. This broad consensus is well deserved. Seaport industry provides hundreds of family-wage jobs, local products for Peninsula residents, essential materials for public works and a huge source of recycling in the Bay Area. The use of water and rail to ship cargo dramatically reduces air pollution and trafc congestion. Future development must protect these community benets. The Seaport Industrial Association (SIA) represents the majority of maritime and industrial businesses in the port area. Our public comments have been cited by others to support their positions against Saltworks,

Not cutting the mustard


pink belt? Really? Theres no problem with the Nathans Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest splitting the annual competitive eating staple down gender lines into a male and female vision. No matter how many dogs the Black Widow Sonya Thomas and Beautiful Juliet Lee chow down, chances are slim the women will ever overtake male counterparts like Bay Area resident Joey Chestnut. Granted, they come close and the Black Widow often beats out several male contenders without a reversal of fortune. For those who dont know what that is, look up the memorable contest of 2007 when Chestnut beat out Japanese eating phenom Takeru Kobayashi to clinch the Mustard Belt. Watch the video at your own peril and probably not while enjoying a hot dog yourself. But back to the serious matter at hand the pink belt. While the male winner once again Chestnut for a fth consecutive title is given the aptly named Mustard Belt, the female winner receives a bejeweled pink belt. Mind you, this may be in part because Pepto Bismol is a sponsor and the belt is the same bubble gum pink color as the stomach medicine. Something tells me though, particularly now that the original bout is male-only, that Chestnut and his successors will not be proudly waving a girly belt above their heads. One could argue the pink represents the hot dogs, in all their raw meat byproduct glory. Theyd be wrong. One could also argue the womens victory requires something more distinctive than simply a smaller version of the yellow belt. But why? The yellow is indicative of mustard, the quintessential hot dog condiment. Name a pink hot dog topping. Thousand Island? Not quite. Mayonnaise and ketchup mixed together? Maybe, but gross. And a stretch. There seems to be no other reason for the belt to be pink other than the womens division. I dont relish taking a playbook from every womens studies course muddled through in college. I like to think women dont even need their competitions handicapped be it push-ups, pullups or the mass consumption of calories. When it comes to food, all stomachs could be considered equal regardless of what other body parts the owner has. Call it the Title IX of gastronomy. Pink is also a perfectly acceptable color, too. But not in this hot dog eating contest. Of course, you may have watched the hot dog eating contest and still have no idea the source of my grumbling. That would be because the inaugural womens matchup garnered little airtime compared to what was ostensibly the main event. Think of it this way: If the hot dog contest was the Academy Awards telecast, the womens competition would be the roundup of technical (read this as less star-studded and boring) winners hastily read and half-heartedly applauded. Come on, ESPN. Dont you think crazy hot dog contest fans that make a point to pre-record the competition are just as interested in watching the womens round? Twice the hot dog contest! Twice the excitement! Twice the cringeinducing dipping of buns in cups of water to soften the bread! Twice the opportunity for a reversal of fortune! Short of Kobayashi showing up for a second shot at getting arrested Google this, too, for an example of just how crazy major league eating has become the possibility of two ngernail-biting rounds was bound to be this years highlight. Instead, the womens 10-minute pig-out offered up a different type of food for thought. Sure, its all in good fun. And sure, its only hot dogs not some sort of grand political statement. But in competitive eating, just as in life, inequality just doesnt cut the mustard.

Regional high-speed rail consensus
Editor, As written about in Sue Lemperts column Say what you mean in the June 27 edition of the Daily Journal, the San Mateo City Council recently discussed high-speed rail through San Mateo. Thankfully, San Mateos council is nally getting around to discussing an ofcial policy. In Burlingame, my council held many, many discussions with our community, receive heavy public input, before ofcially adopting an ofcial resolution for a covered trench alignment through Burlingame. A covered trench buries Caltrain tracks, eliminates all street crossings and allows park-like bike/walking paths where Caltrain previously had tracks and eliminates all horn/sound/vibrations from trains. Similarly, the Belmont City Council ofcially issued a resolution demanding a covered trench alignment through Belmont for these same reasons. Now, the San Mateo City Council, that talks a lot about regional high-speed rail consensus should ofcially adopt a resolution requesting a covered trench through all of San Mateo, from Burlingame to Belmont, to receive these same benets. Additionally, San Mateo will solve grade crossing problems at 25th, 28th and 31st avenues (Caltrain/HSR tracks will be underground), so Bay Meadows Phase II can be nished and taxes ow to San Mateo. Further, Hayward Park families wont have street level high-speed rail trains and wont hear horns/sound/vibrations from 24 highspeed rail trains per hour for 12 hours per day. Finally, San Mateos policy should: 1). Adopt Eshoo/Simitian/Gordons call to end the environmental impact review as moot and irrelevant; 2). agree to Caltrain/HSR in a blended system staying within the existing two-track alignment, for all time, with no phased implementation or later build out to four tracks. Get to work San Mateo, youre late.

Warning to Europe
S&P warns bank plan would cause Greek default
By Pan Pylas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON A leading credit ratings agency warned on Monday that Greece would be considered to be in default if banks rolled over their holdings in the countrys debt as proposed recently in a French plan. Standard & Poors said in a statement that two proposals by an association of French banks would likely amount to a default under its criteria because both options offer less value than the promise of the original securities. S&Ps position could wreak havoc on Europes attempts to deal with the Greek debt crisis, especially if rivals Moodys and Fitch come to the same conclusion. A so-called selective default could trigger insurance claims on Greek bonds and cause another bout of turmoil in the nancial markets. A default is exactly what the European politicians want to avoid, said Louise Cooper, markets analyst at BGC Partners. I imagine there are a lot of phone calls being made between the European political elite and the bosses at S&P. The French banks had announced they

were ready to help Greece by accepting a signicant debt rollover as part of a second bailout for Greece. Germanys banks later said they were also considering helping out on similar terms. French and German banks are among the biggest holders of Greek sovereign debt euro15 billion ($21 billion) and euro16 billion ($23 billion) respectively, according to the Bank of International Settlements. The French finance ministry and banks BNP Paribas and Credit Agricole would not comment Monday on the S&P warning but an EU spokesman insisted that a rating of selective default would have to be avoided. Amadeu Altafaj Tardio, spokesman for the EUs Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn, said work on private sector involvement was ongoing and that there is no decision yet on its exact nature. In Berlin, German Finance Ministry spokesman Martin Kotthaus said We have to look carefully to see what model we can nd to have as few side effects as possible. A second bailout for Greece beyond the current euro110 billion ($159 billion) package is currently being discussed in the hope of being completed

by September. The Greek government has conceded that it will need more money to make bond repayments because its not in a position to tap nancial markets. Rather than bearing the entire cost of a second bailout, European policymakers are looking at ways to get banks and other nancail institutions involved. One proposal sees them reinvesting at least 50 percent of their proceeds from maturing Greek government bonds in newly-issued 30-year Greek bonds, and another 20 percent in debt from other countries as a guarantee. The interest rate would be linked to Greeces economic growth and their trading would be restricted. A second option being considered would see French nancial institutions investing at least 90 percent of the proceeds of expiring Greek bonds in newlyissued five-year bonds. There would again be restrictions on their trading and the bonds would have the same interest rate formula as the 30-year issue. The proposals received a fair degree of support, and appear to be the basis for a similar German plan for some euro3.2 billion ($4.6 billion) in debt that is due for repayment by 2014.

Airlines positioned for big gains


By Scott Mayerowitz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Planes are being built out of the same lightweight materials used for Formula 1 race cars. Their engines are being redesigned to squeeze more thrust out of every gallon of fuel. And governments are developing air-trafc systems that will allow airlines to y shorter routes. Those and other advances have positioned airlines for the biggest gains in fuel efciency since the dawn of the jet age in 1958. For airlines, more efcient jets will reduce their biggest expense. For passengers, it means fares wont jump around as much with the price of oil. Were seeing 25 years of improvements compressed into 10 years, says Hans Weber, president of TECOP International, an aviation consulting rm. Airlines urgency to reduce fuel use is being driven by two trends: soaring oil

prices and tougher environmental regulations. Pressured by airline executives for improvements, manufacturers have pushed the frontiers of technology by building lighter planes and borrowing essential engine-design advances from the auto industry, like automatic transmissions. Airplane manufacturers have already reduced fuel consumption twice as much as car and train manufacturers have. In 1980, it took an average of 46 gallons of fuel to y a passenger 1,000 miles. Today, it takes 22, according to an AP analysis of Department of Transportation data. Experts say the coming improvements could bring that number below 18 within a decade. That cant come soon enough for airlines struggling with the rising price of oil. U.S. airlines lost a combined $1 billion in the rst three months of this year, in large part because of a 24 percent

spike in fuel costs. A decade ago, fuel accounted for 15 percent of an airlines operating budget. Today, its 35 percent. U.S. carriers with European routes face hundreds of millions of dollars a year of additional costs pegged to their fuel consumption starting next year, when the European Union begins limiting how much carbon dioxide airlines are allowed to emit before paying a penalty. The restrictions are expected to cost airlines worldwide $3.3 billion a year. The U.S. airlines are ghting the law in European courts. With billions of dollars of aircraft and engine orders at stake, manufacturers are turning designs that were dreams only a few years ago into reality. Boeing and Airbus are both building long-range jets the 787 Dreamliner and A350, respectively with half of their bodies made of carbon-ber composites. The carbon-ber weighs 20 percent less than traditional aluminum alloy.

Next gen video games let players control the story


By Ryan Nakashima
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Menacing alien machines descend on Earth, and amid all-out war, a soldier searches a building to nd a frightened boy hiding in a vent. Its OK, says the soldier. Everyones dying, the boy replies. The soldier must choose: Help the boy or tell him to ee. Though its full of dramatic tension and realistic animation, this isnt a scene from the next Hollywood blockbuster. Its actually from upcoming video game Mass Effect 3. Game makers are crafting more sophisticated story lines and creating

characters that evolve based on their experiences within a game. Its an attempt to interest new customers and reverse a decline in video game sales as the maturing business ghts for peoples attention in the face of new devices such as the iPad. A new crop of games calls for players to make choices that go beyond selecting a weapon. Among other things, players are asked to make moral decisions that force their characters and the games narrative to evolve in different ways. Upcoming games such as Bioshock Infinite and Star Wars: The Old Republic tap into this vein. These storytelling games couldnt come at a better time. U.S. sales of gam-

ing consoles and video games hit a peak in 2008, at $21.4 billion, according to market research rm NPD Group. Since then, however, annual sales fell 13 percent to $18.6 billion in 2010. So far in 2011, sales are at compared with last year. With the recent Supreme Court decision protecting violent games as free speech, its more appropriate than ever for games to have more of a message. Part of the goal of involved storytelling is to keep players occupied for longer, playing out stories through to the end. Video game makers are trying to stop players from getting bored and quickly offloading games onto used game shops, which can sap sales.

Secret Service to probe hack on Fox News Twitter


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Secret Service said Monday it will investigate the hacking of Foxs political Twitter account over updates claiming that President Barack Obama had been assassinated. Secret Service spokesman George Ogilvie says the law enforcement agency

whose job it is to protect the president will conduct a probe of the false postings and that we will conduct the appropriate follow up. Hackers broke into the FoxNewsPolitics account early Monday, leaving a series of six tweets reporting that Obama had been shot to death in Iowa and the shooter was unknown.

Giants begin series against Padres with defeat


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tim Lincecum

SAN FRANCISCO Will Venable hit his second home run of the season and the San Diego Padres pounced on Tim Lincecum in a 5-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Monday. Chase Headley, Orlando Hudson and Ryan Ludwick each had an RBI off Lincecum (6-7) to chase the Giants ace after ve innings. Nick Hundley added an RBI single in the eighth and

Venables solo shot came in the ninth. Clayton Richard (5-9) struck out two and gave up two hits and three walks in ve innings. After two separate fourgame losing streaks this season, the lefty has won three straight. Heath Bell allowed a run in the ninth and put the potential tying runs in scoring position with one out. Then he got Andres Torres to y out and Aaron Rowand to ground out for his 25th save. The rally came far too late for the

Giants. About the lone bright spot before the ninth was Pablo Sandoval, who hit a two-run homer into McCovey Cove and nished a triple shy of the cycle. The Padres wasted little time against Lincecum on a day he was hardly at his dominating best. They put a runner on base in all ve innings against the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner. And the aggressive, free-swinging approach worked from the opening pitch.

Venable and Jason Bartlett singled to start the first. Venable scored on Headleys sacrice y to center, and Hudson drove in Bartlett with a single later in the inning to give San Diego a 20 lead. After Bartlett doubled to open the fth, Ludwick hit an RBI single to put San Diego ahead 3-0. That was enough to get Giants manager Bruce Bochy to

American wins in France


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REDON, France Two months ago, Tyler Farrar was demoralized, sleeping 20 hours a day. He had even stopped riding, overcome by sorrow after his best friend died in a crash at the Giro dItalia. On Monday, Farrar became the first American to win a stage of the Tour de France on the Fourth of July. It was the rst time he had won a stage in cyclings showcase race, and he dedicated the victory to the late Wouter Weylandt of Belgium. Its a little bit unbelievable to me at the moment that it actually happened, said Farrar, who pulled out of the Giro after the accident. After crossing the nish line, Farrar held up his hands to form a W with his ngers and thumbs in tribute to Weylandt. This has been a horrible last two months with everything that happened in the Giro, Farrar said. Ive had a lot of ups and downs. But in the end, I wanted to be able to come back, and do something special to pay tribute, and this is certainly the biggest stage in the

world to do that. Farrar, a sprint specialist from Wenatchee, Wash., who rides for Garmin-Cervelo, sped ahead in the last few hundred yards of the 123-mile course from Olonne-sur-Mer to Redon to win the third stage. He has now won a stage in each of cyclings three-week major tours France, Italy and Spain. The previous American to win a Tour de France stage was Levi Leipheimer, who in 2007 was rst in the individual time trial in Angouleme. I certainly would have taken it on any day, Farrar said. But as an American, winning on the Fourth of July, its the icing on the cake. ... Lucky me. Norways Thor Hushovd kept the Tour de Frances yellow jersey. Hushovd, however, is a sprint specialist and is not expected to hold his lead through the mountains in the second and third weeks. The top of the standings didnt change much after the mostly at trip into western Brittany that included a ride on a wind-swept suspension bridge over the famed Loire River. It was during the third stage of another race

the Giro in Italy on May 9 when Weylandt clipped a wall on a steep descent. He fell off his bike and slammed his head on the ground, dying almost instantly. It was the rst death of a rider at one of the major tours in 16 years. Jonathan Vaughters, the Garmin-Cervelo team manager, said that from the time Farrar was 15 years old Weylandt was his best friend. He was almost two weeks without riding his bike at all, and sleeping 20 hours every day, and just totally, totally, totally demoralized, he said. But then he started training. Farrar rode in the weeklong Dauphine Libere in France and the lesser-known Ster ZLM Tour in June. Vaughters said that was a bit of a risk. It was probably the heaviest racing program of any sprinter, he said. But we had to do it as an emergency to get him going because he had taken so much time off, which was understandable. But it got him in shape. Vaughters said he wasnt going to push Farrar to ride again, adding that he would have

SAN JOSE San Jose and Minnesota made their second major deal of the offseason with the Sharks sending forward Dany Heatley to the Wild on Sunday for forward Martin Havlat. This moves came on the heels of the draftday trade that sent All-Star defenseman Brent Burns to San Jose for speedy forward Devin Setoguchi and two other players. The acquisition of Burns filled San Joses need for a topflight defenseman but created a new need for speed up after losing Dany Heatley front Setoguchi. Hes got world-class speed, Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said. When we realize we gave up some speed in the Brent Burns deal, the need to get that in our top six was important. ... When youre looking at highend speed, breakaway players that like to play in big moments, Marty is at the top of the list.

Athletics lose 2-1 in McCarthys return from DL


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Brandon McCarthy had everything going in his first start back other than endurance. McCarthy faced the minimum batters through 5 2-3 innings in his return from the disabled list before allowing single runs in the sixth and seventh that proved to be enough to give the Seattle Mariners a 2-1 victory Monday. I got tired pretty early, not having really gotten that high in pitch counts, McCarthy said. It was a little different. The intensity was ramped up, but I was able to get through it and I just kept battling. After the fth I started to get a little physically tired. McCarthy, who had been out since May 19 with a right shoulder injury, struck out two batters in a 10-pitch rst inning, whiffed four of the first six hitters overall and retired the rst nine batters on 34

pitches. But he wore down a bit after that. He needed a leaping grab by in front of the left-eld fence to start a double play to escape the fifth inning and then allowed a solo homer to Josh Bard in the sixth and an RBI double to Justin Smoak in the seventh to lose his career-worst fth straight decision. I thought he was terric at the start, manager Bob Melvin said. He gives up a home run to Bard, when in that position you dont want to walk anybody so you have to throw strikes. Then toward the end maybe just a little bit. It was more the ups and downs than the pitches for me. All in all he pitched great, good enough to win. They just got one more hit than we did and when it counted. McCarthy (1-5) gave up two runs and four hits in 6 2-3 innings and is 0-5 in his last eight starts despite having six quality starts in that span. It was good to get back out time San Francisco reached second base against Richard came on Sandovals two-out double in the rst. Richard left after throwing just 76 pitches through five innings. He struck out two and gave up two hits and three Pablo Sandoval walks, and perhaps Padres manager Bud Black shouldve stuck with his starter longer. Sandoval smacked a 2-1 pitch

there, McCarthy said. Im disappointed with the way I nished and the way it kind of rolled out but it was good to get back at it. The latest loss came because the As managed just three hits off Michael Pineda (8-5) and three relievers. Pineda gave up one run that was aided by a popup lost in the sun, allowed just two hits and struck out seven in six innings. He allowed just one baserunner in his nal four innings, retiring 12 of the nal 13 batters he faced, to win for just the second time in his last eight starts. Hes really maturing, Bard said. Hes becoming that big horse, inning-eater guy that we need him to be. We talked to him hard today makings sure he came out ready to pitch in the rst inning. Sometimes he gets caught pacing himself a little bit. He did a great job doing that. Aaron Laffey, David Pauley and Brandon League each pitched one from Ernesto Frieri over the righteld wall for the rst splash shot of the season, trimming San Diegos lead to 3-2 and sending kayakers scurrying into the chilly waters for the ball. The home run was the 56th by a Giants player into McCovey Cove, with 35 belonging to home run king Barry Bonds. Sandoval extended his careerhigh hitting streak to 15 games and has an extra-base hit in nine straight. NOTES: Headley was ejected in the ninth for tossing his bat after he struck out swinging. ... Giants OF Cody Ross was replaced by a pinch-

scoreless inning of relief with League getting his 23rd save in 26 chances. Bards two-out solo homer to right-center tied the game at 1 in the sixth inning. It was only the second homer McCarthy has allowed all season with Seattles Adam Kennedy getting the other in April. Ryan then opened the seventh with a single and scored on Smoaks double into the right-eld corner that proved to be enough for the Mariners to win the series opener. Luckily Smoaky was able to get the head out and drive me in there for that second run, Ryan said. Still you cant just assume were going to not give up more than three hits every game. We still need to put runs up on the board. The As did even less offensively, sending up three batters in ve of his six innings. Oakland got some help from the sun to score its only run in two games this season against Pineda. runner in the sixth inning because of a mild left hamstring strain. He is day to day. ... Giants LHP Jonathan Sanchez (biceps tendinitis) threw on at ground before the game. Hes not expected back in the rotation until after the All-Star break. .

Kennedy lost Hideki Matsuis foul pop near third base in the sun to open the second inning, giving Matsui a reprieve. He followed with a sharp single to right eld on the next pitch and later scored on Kurt Suzukis two-out single to left. The As didnt get another hit off until after Pineda left the game on Suzukis one-out single in the eighth inning off Pauley. Hes got a great arm, Suzuki said of Pineda. That fastball just jumps on you. He doesnt make it easy. He had his pitches working, kept the ball down in the zone. Hes good. Hes young but hes good. NOTES: Mariners starters have allowed three runs in their past 31 innings. ... As reliever Grant Balfour will throw a one-inning rehab assignment for Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday and is expected back from the DL this weekend in Texas. ... Oakland is a major league worst 12-19 in one-run games. After all, Trammell reasoned, the Brewers squandered a ve-run lead in Minnesota on Sunday so he wondered aloud why it couldnt happen again. Thats what you have to do to your mind in those situations. You have to say stupid stuff like that, Gibson said. It doesnt happen very often, but why not believe it? I know I heard it. Chris Young drove in the goahead run with a two-out single in the ninth and the Diamondbacks used a stellar effort by the bullpen to beat the slumping Milwaukee Brewers 8-6 on Monday.

TRADE
Continued from page 11
Havlat had a no-movement clause in his contract but waived it shortly after being presented with the deal earlier Sunday because of the desire to play for a team that reached the conference finals the past two years. After making the playoffs each of his first five seasons in the NHL with Ottawa, Havlat had been only once the last five years with Chicago and Minnesota. For a hockey player, if your season ends April 10, its kind of an empty feeling, an unsuccessful season for sure, Havlat said. When the real season starts, youre sitting at home watching the best hockey on TV. I enjoy Martin Havlat playing the playoffs. Thats why I play hockey, to have that chance. Havlat has excelled his past two trips to the postseason with 28 points in 26 games in 2006 with Ottawa and 2009 with Chicago one of the reasons Wilson coveted him so much even though he scored only 40 goals in his two seasons with Minnesota. The Sharks acquired Heatley two years ago, hoping he would be the piece that lifted them to the Stanley Cup. He had 39 goals his first season but only 26 last year as he played much of the second half with a broken hand. We are excited to add Dany Heatley, one of the top goal scorers in the NHL, to our team, Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher said. He is a quality player who has averaged more than a point a game in his nineyear career. Heatley was a disappointment in the playoffs with the Sharks, scoring five goals in 32 postseason games while dealing with an assortment of injuries both years. Wilson praised Heatley in a conference call and said this swap of 30-year-olds was

more about what Havlat can bring than what Heatley did not. These are two very good players, he said. We just felt at this time with where were at and the things we needed, to add Marty Havlat was an important piece to add to our own team. Heatley, who previously had a no-move clause in his deal, had to give the Sharks a list of 10 teams he would not go to on July 1. The Wild were not on that list, leading to this deal. The Wild scored the fifth fewest goals in the league last season as they missed the playoffs for a third straight year. That helped lead to Fletcher acquiring two proven goal scorers from the Sharks. Heatley is a two-time 50-goal scorer who has averaged more than 40 goals a season the past six years. Setoguchi scored 31 goals two years ago, but was held to 22 this past season. The deal also gives the Sharks more room under the salary cap, with Heatley being a $7.5 million hit the next three seasons, compared to $5 million for Havlat for the next four years. You have to look at it, Wilson said. You have to manage that part of the business. Marty just fits really well with our team and our needs today. Havlat has played previously with a few of the Sharks, including goalie Antti Niemi. But he is most familiar with Burns, his teammate the past two years in Minnesota. The two former and now current teammates talked already Sunday about their new home. It was a quick talk, Havlat said. There are a lot of other things going on right now. Im quite sure well talk more tomorrow or later tonight. He was excited and Im excited too. Hes not only a great player but a great guy too. Both of us are very excited with what will happen.

San Mateo White Sox 17, San Carlos Tribe 3 (six innings)
The Tribe scored twice in the top of the first inning when Alex Blandino doubled in Matt Crowder who singled to lead off the game. With two outs, Jackson Badger singled to drive in Blandino. However, that was the bulk of the San Carlos offense for the rest of the game. The White Sox responded by putting up ve runs in the bottom of the inning.

No breaks allowed: U.S.looking for win vs.Sweden


By Nancy Armour
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WOLFSBURG, Germany Rest is nice, winning is better. The United States plays Sweden in the group stage finale at the Womens World Cup on Wednesday, a game that would seem to have little importance with both teams already through to the quarternals. But there is plenty still at stake for the Americans, starting with the bragging rights and everything that comes with them for winning the group. We go for a win, U.S. coach Pia Sundhage said Monday. Absolutely. The two-time World Cup champions need only a tie against Sweden to win Group C and likely avoid a quarternal matchup with Brazil. The Group C winner plays the second-place team in Group D, likely Australia or Norway, while the Group C runner-up gets the Group D winner.

Brazil, runner-up in 2007 and at the last two Olympics, needs only a draw against World Cup newcomer Equatorial Guinea to win Group D. I can safely say that theres not going to be one player or person or staff member from the United States thats going to say, We want a tie, Abby Wambach said. We want to win this game because we want to keep the momentum going forward. Obviously, you have to be smart. We want to get some of those 90-minute players some rest if we can do that. But rst and foremost, we want to make sure and secure the rst place out of this group. The United States is 18-4-7 against Sweden, including a 3-0 record in the World Cup. But Sweden beat the U.S. 2-1 in January, one of three losses in a ve-month span after the Americans had gone more than two years without a loss. Since arriving in Germany, however, the U.S. has had little resemblance to the team that struggled just to get there. Only Japan (six) with testing positive? Blame the Spanish cycling federation, who were so looking to preserve its champion, it bought Contadors excuse of tainted beef he ate despite the fact the rest of the world scoffed and snickered at such a lame excuse. There is still a chance Contador could be banned and stripped of his 2010 title as his case is scheduled to be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport the nal word on doping in cycling. There is no question most elite cyclists are using PEDs. They have to if they want to ride hundreds of miles a day for three weeks including multiple days riding through the Alps. The Tour itself says it is anti-doping and has stepped up testing and enforcement over the years. But allowing Contador to ride in

the bulk of the minutes or are already nursing some aches and pains. Wambach (Achilles) and Heather OReilly (groin) both sat out practice Monday as a precaution. We dont have to force anything which is good, Sundhage said. It would be totally different if this was a game that would take us to the quarternals but its not. We have a chance to play probably some different players. As long as it doesnt get in the way of the main objective, that is. We want to get a good result against Sweden, we want to play well, Wambach said. Thats the thing. We want to keep playing well, performing to our potential because were going to continue to get better as the tournament goes on and, hopefully, well come into the championship game playing our best. fully, a more consistent Martin Havlat. Add to those moves the freeagent acquisition of forward Michal Handzus and defenseman Jim Vandermeer and it appears the Sharks are reloaded for another deep playoff run. After back-to-back disappointing appearances in the Western Conference finals, Wilson is not willing to stand pat. He never has. He is constantly willing to shake up the roster in an effort bring the Stanley Cup title to the South Bay. While it remains to be seen whether Wilsons most recent moves pay off, you can never fault him for trying.

2018 Olympic bid Retired NFL players feeling left out of deal cities in nal stretch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pyeongchang, Munich and Annecy make nal presenations to IOC commitee


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DURBAN, South Africa The three candidates to host the 2018 Winter Olympics began three nal days of frantic campaigning Monday, with the two leading contenders boosted by the backing of a president and a soccer great, and the outsider insisting it still can win. The bid teams from Pyeongchang, South Korea; Munich; and Annecy, France, reached the home stretch, with their nal presentations to the International Olympic Committee and frenzied behind-thescenes lobbying all thats left before Wednesdays vote. South Korean President Lee Myung-bak who traveled to South Africa for the 123rd IOC session and the vote said it was his duty to deliver a rst-ever Winter Games for his country. Munich called in the star power of World Cup-winning player and coach Franz Beckenbauer. Underdog Annecy, meanwhile, insisted it was still a three-horse race. Pyeongchang, which failed in consecutive bids for the 2010 and 2014 Games, is favored to nally win over the IOC at its general assembly in Durban and become only the third Asian city and rst outside Japan to host the Winter Olympics. Japans Sapporo, in 1972, and Nagano, in 1998, are the only previous Asian cities to stage the event. In the nal run-up to the deciding vote by IOC members, Pyeongchang kept on with its message of taking winter sports to new markets and a new country under a bid slogan of New Horizons. We worked very hard and we hope members of the IOC will recognize and appreciate the efforts we have made, Lee said, speaking to a small group of reporters in Korean through an interpreter. By hosting the games, we hope to spread the spirit of the Olympics beyond Pyeongchang throughout Asia.

Munich is bidding to become the rst city to host a Summer and Winter Olympics, following its 1972 Summer Games. The Bavarian capital wants to return the Winter Olympics to the heart of Alpine sport in central Europe, in direct contrast to Pyeongchangs new Asian frontier. It also hopes to bring the Winter Games back to Germany for the rst time since 1936. Bid leaders called in Beckenbauer, who helped Germany host the 2006 soccer World Cup, and said he would arrive in South Africa on Tuesday just over 24 hours before the vote. Beckenbauers appearance was a little surprise, said Katarina Witt, the chairwoman of Munichs bid committee. We are very happy that he is joining us and will be here to support us, said Witt, a two-time Olympic gure skating champion. I think we do have a great momentum going on. Annecy was seen as having fallen behind even before the nal week of bidding in South Africa, but bid president Charles Beigbeder insisted Monday the French Alpine resort was still a contender. I dont share your view (that we are outsiders), Beigbeder told reporters on South Africas east coast. Our candidacy has been qualied as an exceptionally high level by the IOC, so there is no actual favorite or an underdog. It is a three-horse race and there are just 48 hours now from the vote. Everything is possible. Annecy also countered Munichs move with its own soccer celebrity, with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger announcing his support for the French city. The Alps are recognized all over the world, so Annecy 2018 would provide a perfect platform to raise the prole of winter sports and Olympism everywhere, Wenger said.

MINNEAPOLIS While NFL owners and players appear to be inching toward a resolution of the leagues long lockout, a group of retired players is clamoring to be more involved in the discussions. The group led a class-action complaint against the owners and current players in federal court Monday, saying they have been excluded from the mediation sessions taking place in an attempt to end the lockout. Named plaintiffs including Hall of Famers Carl Eller, Franco Harris, Marcus Allen and Paul Krause are asking U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson to put a halt to the mediation she ordered and declare that the current players cannot negotiate on behalf of those who are retired. Owners and current players have met ve times over the last few weeks as they work to put together a new collective bargaining agreement in time to avoid the loss of training camps and games. They met with U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur J. Boylan in Minneapolis last week, including for more than 15 hours on Thursday, and will resume meetings on Tuesday in New York. The retired players say that NFL owners, the NFL Players Association and a group of current players including star quarterbacks Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees are conspiring to depress the amounts of pension and disability benets to be paid to former NFL players in order to maximize the

salaries and benets to current NFL players. The NFL declined comment on the complaint, which was rst reported by the New York Times. The Associated Press left a message for an NFLPA spokesman seeking comment. The complaint gets to the heart of an issue that has been building for quite some time. Retired players have felt marginalized in the dispute over how to divide more than $9 billion in revenue. After the owners locked out the players in March, the NFLPA disbanded and a group of them sued the league for antitrust violations. A small group of retired players, including Eller, Obafemi Ayanbadejo and Ryan Collins, led their own lawsuit against the league seeking more help for medical treatments of former players and better pensions. Nelson combined the two lawsuits, and several representatives of the retired players, including Eller and attorney Michael Hausfeld were present at early mediation sessions in Minneapolis. But as talks have heated up and the venue has shifted from the Twin Cities to Maryland, Massachussetts, Illinois and back to Minneapolis again over the last month or so, the retired players have not been present. This hasnt sit well with them, and lawyers for the group have sent letters to Boylan, lobbied Commissioner Roger Goodell and held intense media briengs to make their feelings known.

Sports brief
Nationals top pick Harper promoted to Double-A
WASHINGTON Bryce Harpers impressive stats earned the teenager a Fourth of July promotion Monday, moving on to Double-A as part of the Washington Nationals measured approach with last years No. 1 overall draft pick. Harper was set to make his debut Monday night for the Harrisburg Senators of the Eastern League. The 18-year-old outelder has been a hitting sensation at Class-A Hagerstown, ranking among league leaders with a .318 average along with 14 home runs, 46 RBIs and 19 stolen bases. But the Nationals are sticking to their plan not to have Harper make his big league debut this year. General manager Mike Rizzo said Harper will spend the rest of the season in Double-A and then play in the Arizona Fall League. Rizzo said he also wants Harper to play in Triple-A, which means the youngster almost certainly wont be on the Nationals opening day roster next year. While the stats have looked good, Harper has had to adjust the rigors and routine of professional baseball and the maturity that goes along with it. He notoriously puckered a kiss toward a pitcher while rounding the bases after hitting a home run last month and was greeted with a hide-and-inside brushback pitch the next time he batted. The batting average was there, Rizzo said. And the power, offensive production numbers are there, but a lot more goes into it than that. Hes a work in progress in his baserunning, his base stealing, his defensive play, the small intricate parts of the game. We feel hes progressed to the point where we want to see him do that at the next level.

It feels great to be back, Jeter said. To be out three weeks is tough when you want to be out there playing. But in retrospect, it was probably the right thing to do. Girardi didnt hesitate writing Jeters name at the top of his lineup card. Its easy to put him back in there. Its like he never left, Girardi said. You just put him right back in there.

Jeter back with Yankees eyeing 3,000 hits


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND On a traditionlled day, Derek Jeter is back playing shortstop and batting leadoff for the New York Yankees. It doesnt get much more reworks and hot dogs than that. Sidelined since June 13 with a calf injury, Jeter was activated from the 15-day disabled list Monday to continue his quest to reach 3,000 career hits. Jeter is batting rst and playing short in manager Joe Girardis starting lineup as the Yankees open a three-game series with the Indians.

son, batting just .260 in 62 games, Jeter is also just a few swings from becoming the rst player in New Yorks storied history to eclipse 3,000 a distinction that would separate the 37-year-old from all previous pinstriped greats. Jeter said he hasnt spent a moment dwelling on the milestone, which will only add to a Cooperstown-worthy resume. At this point, I just want to go out and play a game, he said. I mean its been three weeks between hits. Jeter said he has not spoken with Girardi about getting any rest or if the Yankees will hold him out of a

game so he can reach 3,000 hits at Yankee Stadium. I want him to get to 3,000 as soon as he can, Girardi said. Im going to manage him more from a physical standpoint than 3,000 hits. Jeters absence was felt way beyond the boxscore. You miss his leadership and his consistency on a daily basis, Girardi said. As he dressed before the game, Jeter quietly chatted with former major leaguer Bobby Bonilla, who now works for the players union. Alex Rodriguez walked into the Yankees clubhouse after getting a

haircut and faked being surprised when he walked up to Jeter, who shared a hug with his teammate. Jeter was eligible to come off the DL last week, but needed more time to strengthen his calf. The AL East-leading Yankees went 14-4 without him and young shortstop Eduardo Nunez showed he may be the one who one day replaces Jeter. Nunez went 7 for 8 with a homer and three doubles in two weekend games against the Mets. Jeter said it wasnt disappointing to see the Yankees thrive without him.

Heart disease can sneak up on women


By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Heart disease can sneak up on women in ways that standard cardiac tests can miss. Its part of a puzzling gender gap: Women tend to have different heart attack symptoms than men. Theyre more likely to die in the year after a rst heart attack. In fact, more than 40 percent of women still dont realize that heart disease is the No. 1 female killer. One in 30 womens deaths in 2007 was from breast cancer, compared to about 1 in 3 from cardiovascular disease, according to the American Heart Association. A new report says theres been too little progress in tackling the sex differences in heart disease. It outlines the top questions scientists must answer to nd the best ways to treat womens hearts - and protect them in the rst place. A womans heart is her major health threat, and everyone who takes care of a woman has to realize that, says Emory University cardiologist Dr. Nanette Wenger, who co-authored the report. Make no mistake: Heart disease is the leading killer of men, too. The illness is more prevalent in men, and tends to hit them about a decade earlier than is usual for women. But while overall deaths have been dropping in recent years, that improvement has been slower for women who face some unique issues, says the report from the nonprot Society for Womens Health Research and WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease.

More than 40 percent of women still dont realize that heart disease is the No.1 female killer.
Sure, being a couch potato and eating a lot of junk food is bad for a womans heart just like a mans. High cholesterol will clog arteries. High blood pressure can cause a stroke. But heres one problem: Even if a test of major heart arteries nds no blockages, at-risk women still can have a serious problem something called coronary microvascular disease thats less common in men. Small blood vessels that feed the heart become damaged so that they spasm or squeeze shut, Wenger explains. Specialists who suspect microvascular disease prescribe medications designed to make blood vessels relax and blood ow a bit better, while also intensively treating the womans other cardiac risk factors. But Wenger says its not clear what the best treatments are. The report says part of the lack of understanding about such gender issues is because heart-related studies still dont focus enough on women, especially minority women. Only a third of cardiovascular treatment studies include information on how each gender responds even though federal policy says they should. The report urged direct comparisons of which treatments work best in women, and improved diagnostic tests. Another issue: Even young women sometimes have a heart attack, and there are troubling hints that their risks are rising. Theres been a small uptick in deaths among women younger than 45. Plus, high blood pressure, diabetes or related complications during pregnancy a growing worry as more women start their pregnancies already overweight arent just a temporary problem but increase those mothers risk of heart disease once they reach middle age. The report says too few

doctors are aware they should consider that. Then there are the questions of how best to tell which women are at high risk. Nearly two-thirds of women who die suddenly of heart disease report no previous symptoms, for example, compared with half of men. As for heart attacks, chest pain is the most common symptom but women are more likely than men to experience other symptoms such as shortness of breath, nausea and pain in the back or jaw. Legislation pending in Congress would require better study of gender differences, and would expand a government program that currently screens poor women in 20 states for high cholesterol and other heart risks, offering smoking cessation and nutrition education to help lower those risks. Wengers groups, which receive some funding from drug companies, and the heart association support the bill. One young patient says women need to know more about heart disease and to get pushy about any symptoms. Essence Harris of New Orleans was just 30 and seemingly healthy when she started getting short of breath and feeling a utter in her chest during her daily workouts. Her primary care doctor thought it was panic attacks. A cardiologist found no obvious risk either her cholesterol and blood pressure were normal but ordered a stress test that signaled her heart fears were right. A further exam found severe blockages in two arteries that required stents to prop open.

Experts:Seeds tainted by E.coli still out there


By Maria Cheng
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Contaminated Egyptian fenugreek seeds are likely the source of Europes deadly E. coli outbreaks, health experts warned Thursday, predicting there could be more infections from seeds still in the food chain. The tainted seeds may be behind the massive food poisoning outbreak in Germany beginning in May that has killed 49 people and infected over 4,000 in 15 countries, as well as a much smaller outbreak in France in June. More than 800 people have also developed a lifethreatening kidney complication after catching the bug. On Thursday, the national French laboratory said the E. coli strain that sickened 15 people in Bordeaux is genetically similar to the one in Germany. The World Health Organization said this increased the proof that the outbreaks were linked, but scientists still havent found any contaminated seeds. Theres no smoking gun, Ian Henderson, a professor of microbial biology at the University of Birmingham, told the Associated Press on Thursday. But it would be unusual to have the same rare strain found in Germany and France without some link. Fenugreek leaves are commonly used as an herb and also in curry. If the fenugreek seeds were contaminated at the source - during production in Egypt - they could have been freeze-dried before being sold, allowing the E. coli bacteria to live for years. Once water is added to grow the fenugreek sprouts, the entire sprout would be infected and

washing wouldnt help get rid of the potentially deadly bacteria. Sprouts are biological time bombs, Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, told the AP. If theyre infected, once theyre rehydrated and distributed, they could take the bacteria anywhere. Osterholm said the seeds could also cross-contaminate other products or be sold in a seed mix. The European Food Safety Authority recommends that people stop growing their own sprouts and not eat any type of sprouts unless theyre thoroughly cooked. European food safety and health ofcials have asked Germany and France to quickly nd out where seeds from the suspected contaminated Egyptian batch may have been sold. French farmers apparently bought their seeds from Thompson & Morgan, a large British mail-order company. Thompson & Morgan said their supplier bought fenugreek sprout-

ing seeds from Egypt, which were then exclusively sold into a French garden market. The company does not sell sprouting seeds to commercial farms. Germanys consumer protection and food safety agency refused to say Thursday whether the organic farm in northern Germany implicated in the deadly E. coli outbreak used seeds from Egypt or whether other German farms had received Egyptian seeds. However, the agency said it was investigating the report. Experts said it was crucial to trace exactly where the bad seeds ended up but that doing so would be very difcult. They might have shipped over a couple of tons of seeds from Egypt, but it could have just been a small amount of seeds that were contaminated, explained Stephen Smith, a microbiologist at Trinity College in Dublin. And then some of that shipment goes to Germany, France, and maybe lots of other countries. Smith said it was likely only a small batch of the seeds were contaminated, which might explain why the new E. coli cases are appearing sporadically. We will probably see more cases, but hopefully not on the scale of the German outbreak, he said. Osterholm said medical authorities should be increasing their surveillance and testing of potential E. coli patients, since cases could easily be missed. Once seeds are sold from Egypt, they could be distributed all over the world, he said. There is no place in the world thats safe from an outbreak like this.

Fraternal twins with autism: Is risk in the womb?


By Carla K. Johnson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Most of the risk of autism has been blamed by experts on inherited genes. Now one of the largest studies of twins and autism shifts the focus to the womb, suggesting that the mothers age and health may play a larger role than thought. The new research doesnt solve the mystery of what causes autism. Most scientists think faulty genes and outside factors are both at work. And since autism spectrum disorders include a wide range of conditions, from mild to severe, its unlikely theres a single cause for all of them. Conditions during pregnancy may trigger autism where theres a genetic vulnerability, said Dr. Gary Goldstein of the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, who was not involved in the new research. Weve identified lots of vulnerability genes, but not everybody who has them gets autism, Goldstein said. The new twins study, published Monday by Archives of General Psychiatry, used rigorous methods to diagnose autism spectrum disorders, including direct observation of the children. Using California health records, its the largest study to do that and the first to consider a large sample of twins drawn from a general population, said lead author Dr. Joachim Hallmayer of Stanford University in Palo Alto. Children with autism can have trouble communicating and interacting socially. They may have poor eye contact and engage in repetitive behavior such as rocking or hand-flapping. One in 100 children have

autism disorders, according to U.S. government estimates. The new study included 192 sets of twins where at least one of the twins was affected with autism. Some of the twins were identical and some were non-identical, or fraternal, twins. The researchers used DNA testing to determine which twins were identical and which were fraternal. That was important because identical twins come from one fertilized egg and have identical genetic makeups. Fraternal twins, from two fertilized eggs, share no more genetic material than any other siblings. The new study found, as expected, high rates of shared autism disorders for identical twins: 77 percent of male twin pairs and 50 percent for female pairs had autism in both twins. Surprisingly, it also found fairly high rates of fraternal twins both having autism spec-

trum disorders: 31 percent rate for male fraternal twins and 36 percent for female fraternal twins. Other studies have found 10 to 20 percent of younger siblings of children with autism are likely to be diagnosed themselves with the disorder. Fraternal twins share the same womb, even though they dont share identical genes. That could be important, said Dr. John Constantino of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, who wasnt involved in the new research. Finding so many fraternal twin pairs in whom both twins have autism spectrum disorders is a key finding that puts a spotlight on pregnancy as a time when environmental factors might exert their effects, Constantino said. Those factors could include stress, diet, infections, a mothers age and medications, experts said. The new study didnt try to determine what factors increase risk. The study was funded by grants from the National Institute of Mental Health and Autism Speaks, an advocacy group. In another study published Monday in the same journal, researchers found a higher risk of autism among children born to mothers who took antidepressants during the year before birth, particularly in the first three months of pregnancy. Its too early to advise pregnant women against antidepressants, however. Untreated depression also can be harmful to mother and baby, said lead author Lisa Croen of the Autism Research Program at Kaiser Permanente, a large health maintenance organization in California.

however, when the authoritys public relations rm abruptly resigned. Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide had a $9 million contract with the rail authority to promote high-speed rail activities throughout the state but came under re in recent months by the former chair of the rail authority for the worsening legislative, media, academic and popular comments in the public domain about the project. Since voters passed Proposition 1A, a $9 billion bond, in November 2008, sentiment regarding the project has grown negative based on false ridership projections, a broken business plan and threats of eminent domain. The authority was allegedly going to terminate the contract with Ogilvy at its next board meeting July 14 in Bakerseld. Before leaving the authority board earlier this year, Quentin Kopp, its former chairman, blasted Ogilvy for billing the agency excessive amounts related to gathering news clippings or for attending meetings. Kopps last ofcial act on the board

was to send a letter in March to the authoritys Executive Director Roelof van Ark urging the authority to terminate the contract with Ogilvy. Tom Umberg, the rail authoritys new chair, had little to say about Ogilvy yesterday. Not much to say about Ogilvy but that we are moving forward to select another contractor beginning on July 14, Umberg wrote to the Daily Journal by email yesterday. Ogilvy, with an office in San Francisco, was awarded a multi-year contract to handle the rail authoritys public relations in November 2009. The contract was not set to expire until sometime in 2013, however. The authority has set aside about $2.3 million for public relations this scal year, which just started Friday. Ogilvy charged the authority more than $2.4 million for little more than a plan, Kopp told the Daily Journal. Kopp took extra offense to invoices detailing $500 an hour charges for someone to read news clippings. In response, Ogilvy said it was unable to develop a good rapport with the agency. We are unable to develop a solid working relationship with your agency and that impeded the kind of top-notch work we are accustomed to providing could indulge in a glass of her homemade lemonade. Its the third year that Stephens has set up her stand. She sold out last year . Stephens kept the business a family affair with her parents Maureen Kelly and Jack Stephens as her employees. Many politicians were in Redwood City for the annual celebration of America. Vinnie Vierra and 4-year-old Chase Affrunti drove an exact replica of the Ford Thunderbird carrying Redwood City Mayor Jeff Ira just behind them during the annual Fourth of July parade. As the parade continued, children became commentators. Look, its a decorated car. Look, its a clown. Look, its a fire truck, a little girl said to anyone who would listen. Those in the parade were jovial, espe-

our clients, Michael Law, Ogilvys local managing director wrote to van Ark last week. Kopp introduced the legislation that created the California High-Speed Rail Authority in 1996 and is one of the staunchest proponents for the $43 billion project that will link San Francisco to Los Angeles with bullet trains. Van Ark is set to lead the discussion related to a phased implementation/blended system for the San Francisco to San Jose section of the line next week. He has previously indicated that Simitians plan for a blended system could only work in the beginning stages of the project. Simitian called for having only a handful of high-speed trains use the Caltrain corridor daily to get to San Francisco while having most of the trips terminate in San Jose. The goal is to get trains into San Francisco as soon as possible, CHSRA Deputy Director Barker previously told the Daily Journal. San Francisco is where the riders and revenue are. Stations are planned for San Francisco, Millbrae and San Jose. There is also potential for a midline station in Redwood City, Palo Alto or Mountain View. cially the Los Trancos Woods Community Marching Band. The eclectic group of individuals donned red, white and blue in unique combinations. Music was a big part of the event with jams being pumped out of float speakers and played by the bands, like the one from the University of California at Davis who informally wore T-shirts and funny hats. And, luckily for 7-year-old Maia Poltizer, there were lots of people moving. Dancers in the parade are Poltizers favorite part. There were square dancers, ladies twirling batons and little girls from San Mateo Gymnastics doing flips throughout the Redwood City streets. The event truly was a community gathering as little league teams, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts and even the Shriners participated.

PARADE
Continued from page 1
Firefighters were center stage during the annual parade as this years theme was Redwood City Fire Department 150 Years of Service. This years parade started with a variety of vintage fire trucks, dating back to the 1930s, representing departments from San Mateo County and beyond. Although there was a delay after the trucks before much of the rest of the parade started, people in the audience kept busy. Eight-year-old Annie Stephens from Redwood City got to the parade an hour early to set up her lemonade stand. For 50 cents, those watching the parade

Even if some years havent been as good to you as they should have been, they did teach you some valuable lessons. Youll finally put them all to work for you in the coming months; enjoy the fruits of experience.
CaNCeR (June 21-July 22) -- Dont toot your own

horn about how well you handled a difficult development in the past. If you think you can do a better job than another, simply volunteer. leO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your loyalty to a friend is a noble quality, but only as long as you can express it

under sour circumstances. It wont look too good if you turn your back when you think your image is at stake. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If this is one of those days when your blossoms are late in blooming, be prepared for your initial efforts to fizzle. Try again later when you know you can achieve positive effects. lIBRa (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Just because something has always come easy for you in the past doesnt mean everything will run smoothly now. Take things slowly, covering your bases as you go. sCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An important objective can be achieved, but only if you are prepared to use some alternate routes when and if you run into a roadblock. Problems could pop out of nowhere. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Seek strong, com-

petent allies rather than trying to go it alone. This is one of those days when acting in unison with another can produce dividends you never thought possible. CaPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Take command of your life when circumstances call for it, such as being willing to make changes when necessary, regardless of how much you liked doing it the old way. aQuaRIus (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Youre someone who likes being an extremist at times, but it behooves you to practice moderation in all that you do, right now. Go with the flow instead of against the grain. PIsCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Although youll be imbued with an abundance of great ideas, you might waste all of them because of an uncertainty regarding their worth, just because they come from you.

aRIes (March 21-April 19) -- Do something nice for

another out of the goodness of your heart and not because you want a favor from this person. She or he will comply with what you want, but you could be labeled a user. TauRus (April 20-May 20) -- If youre truly interested in making some folding money, you wont stick your nose up at doing a dirty job. It could be the very one that will provide the cabbage you crave. GeMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your hunches regarding ways to advance your self-interest may not be as good as some suggestions made by a well-intentioned friend. Be sure to consider what your pal has to say. Copyright 2011, United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
