LOS ANGELES Two new suspects were arrested Wednesday in the beating of a San Francisco Giants fan outside Dodger Stadium and the original suspect may well be exonerated, a law enforcement ofcial told the Associated Press.
Bryan Stow
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the i nv e s t i g a t i o n was ongoing, said that if the district attorneys ofce les
a case against the men, the suspect previously identified by police, Giovanni Ramirez, will be exonerated. The arrests are a dramatic development in the case. Since Giovanni was arrested May 22, police have consistently restated they believed they had their man, while his lawyers said detectives were wrong.
One of Ramirezs attorneys, Jose Romero, suggested the defense team unearthed important evidence in the case. The police played hide and seek so we did our own digging, Romero said. This is our golden nugget. Hes been innocent from the beginning. Another attorney, Tony Brooklier,
told KNX-AM that the arrest was a good faith mistake, thats all. Giants fan Bryan Stow was almost fatally beaten by two men outside the stadium after attending the March 31 season opener between the Giants and archrival Los Angeles Dodgers. A paramedic and father of two,
Housing an ever-growing number of elementary school students in Foster City requires a fourth school, according to district ofcials who are ofcially asking for voter support in the city through a $25 million November bond measure. On Thursday, the San MateoFoster City School District Board of Trustees voted 4-0-1, with Trustee Ellen Mallory Ulrich absent, to put a $25 million bond on a ballot before Foster City voters in November. Originally, the board, which serves San Mateo and Foster City, was hesitant about splitting the district to fund a new elementary school. Since then, the board has taken steps to create a school facilities improvement district that allows it to tax only a portion of the district. Such a

measure requires a 55 percent support rate to pass. Putting the measure on the ballot was a long process. Trustee Lory Lorimer Lawson was vocal through the process about fears of dividing the district. However, as she noted, the district exhausted all other options to accommodate the expected enrollment growth. I want to dedicate our efforts to try to keep our district together for all kids, she said. Trustee Julie Chan, who lives in Foster City, said many parents in the area expressed comfort with this option. Parents were looking at alternatives like moving to another area with less crowded schools or putting their children in private school both expensive options. By comparison, paying a few

hen the sheer forces of jazz, country, rhythm, blues, soul and rock n roll interplay, magic happens. The blues is led by a magical spirit, said Steve Welch, founder and band leader of Blue Cadillac. If you love the music, you just have to play it. If it goes to your heart, it makes a lasting connection.
Welch, a State Street financial planner by day, regained his passion for playing the blues about 10 years ago when visiting JJ Blues Club in San Jose. Listening to the sound of the blues, he had a yearning to replay the music he once abandoned. With the encouragement and motivation from his surrounding peers, he was soon under way to creating a full edged bluesrock dance band.
WASHINGTON The economys spring slump appears to be extending into the summer, according to a slew of mixed data released Thursday. Layoffs are rising. Manufacturing activity in the Northeast expanded only slightly in July after contracting in June. Economic growth is projected to pick up this fall, but not
enough to give businesses condence to hire and speed the recovery. The economy could lapse even further if Congress and the Obama administration fail to reach an agreement on raising the nations borrowing limit in the coming week. But for the moment, traders on Wall Street dont seem worried. Stocks soared Thursday on news that European governments were

An English colony fated to vanish under mysterious circumstances was established on Roanoke Island off North Carolina. In 1796, Cleveland, Ohio, was founded by General Moses Cleaveland. In 1893, Wellesley College professor Katharine Lee Bates visited the summit of Pikes Peak, where she was inspired to write the original version of her poem "America the Beautiful." In 1916, a bomb went off during a Preparedness Day parade in San Francisco, killing ten people. In 1934, bank robber John Dillinger was shot to death by federal agents outside Chicago's Biograph Theater, where he had just seen the Clark Gable movie "Manhattan Melodrama." In 1943, American forces led by General George S. Patton captured Palermo, Sicily, during World War II. In 1946, Jewish extremists blew up a wing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, killing 90 people. In 1975, the House of Representatives joined the Senate in voting to restore the American citizenship of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. In 1991, police in Milwaukee arrested Jeffrey Dahmer, who later confessed to murdering 17 men and boys (Dahmer ended up being beaten to death by a fellow prison inmate). In 1995, Susan Smith was convicted by a jury in Union, S.C., of rst-degree murder for drowning her two sons. (She was later sentenced to life in prison, and will not be eligible for parole until 2024.)

Creating a signature open space in downtown Burlingame could be accomplished by purchasing the U.S. Postal Service property a parcel which is not yet on the market nor in the citys price range. With few open lots downtown, Burlingame ofcials have long shown interest in purchasing the U.S. Postal Service property at 341 Lorton Ave. Recently post ofce ofcials said the site or a portion of it could be put on the market. On Thursday, the Burlingame City Council met to discuss its vision for the site. Should it be put on the market, Burlingame is unlikely to have the cash to purchase the site. The meeting did give city ofcials a chance to discuss its vision in hopes of inuencing possible developments. I dont think its [a] pie-in-the-sky [idea] to put out what we want and look at creative ways to make it happen, said Councilwoman Cathy Baylock. Baylock pointed to a desire to create something like Redwood Citys Courthouse Plaza, which has been used as a gathering place for outdoor events year-round. That development has revitalized the area, she said. Councilman Michael Brownrigg questioned maintaining a park-like setting compared to the more urban look of the Courthouse Square. Mayor Terry Nagel suggested the post ofce be used as a year-round farmers market. There are a number of issues to consider when it comes to the post ofce. First, its not actually for sale. A conversation with Tina Moyer, U.S.
Postal Service real estate disposition specialist for the Pacific and Southwest areas, revealed its likely at least a portion of the site would be for sale, City Manager Jim Nantell wrote in a June 1 staff report. A sale could be for a portion or the whole site. Should the building be included, the post ofce may require use of the building through a lease agreement. If the entire site were to be sold, it would be an estimated 52,500 square feet. While no price has been listed, the city estimated it to be worth about $5 million, Nantell wrote. That price tag is too Ann Keighran steep for Burlingame unless there was an option to ask voters for a specic tax. Councilwoman Ann Keighran agreed the space would be nice, but worried about the nancial viability of the space. If the post ofce is historical, it limits the development possibilities. If its historical, we need to go in with this knowing there needs to be increased density, said Keighran, who wanted ofcials to have realistic expectations. If you only want open space, I cant see how that would pencil out. Mark Farrar of Millennium Partners, one of the two developers who participated in the study session, saw the site as being great for mixed use with retail on the ground oor and up to three stories of residential or ofce space. Tom Gilman of DES Architects added that using only the employee parking lot could be
enough space to create a signature open space. Vice Mayor Jerry Deal suggested giving guidelines for the citys vision for the specific parcel in hopes of bringing development ideas that t within it. Some guidance for the area could be found in the citys Downtown Specic Plan. A creek runs under a portion of the property, which, under the plan, could one day be uncovered to create a unique town squarelike space. If the lot including the building were to be put up for sale, the building could be used for civic purposes. The plan also outlines possible uses for the area including retail, personal services, business, offices and upstairs residential units. More ideas could come in as early as Aug. 1 the citys deadline for ideas for developing the city-owned downtown parking lots. At the end of May, Burlingame requested ideas for the 20 parking lots throughout the area. Since officials said parking is extremely important to downtowns vitality, the request for proposal states that any new developments must provide for the replacement of public parking spaces either at the development site or at another location so there will be no net loss of parking downtown. Interested developers were notied that the post office space may become available, Community Development Director Bill Meeker said.

Obituary
Constance Colby Morgan
Connie Morgan of Belmont, Calif., born April 9, 1949, died Friday, July 8, 2011 at home following a 21-month battle with cancer. She was 62. A lifelong resident of the Peninsula, Morgan distinguished herself both as an artist and an elementary school teacher in the Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary School District. Morgan is survived by her husband of 40 years, Glenn; her children, Jay Morgan of San Mateo and Lindsay Byrnes of San Carlos; and her grandchildren Jonathan, Drew and Abby. Morgan is also survived by her mother, Jane Wendell of Camarillo, Calif.; and her sister Barbara McFadden of Lacey, Wash. She will long be remembered for her passion for teaching, travel, gardening and art. Morgan leaves behind her many loyal friends as well as a generation of devoted students. Sandpiper Elementary School Principal Linda McDaniel said Mrs. Morgan was an extraordinary teacher who touched the lives of each of her students in a very special way. She had an incredible gift for being able to bring out the best in every child who crossed the threshold of her classroom door. The children in Mrs. Morgans classroom will remember her as the teacher who believed in them and prepared them for success in school. She always went above and beyond her teaching duties to ensure the happiness of not only her students and their parents, but also her colleagues. The candidate filing period is open for numerous seats in the county. Here are some updates: Jamie Diaz has led to run for a seat on the San Mateo County Community College District Board. Diaz will be challenging three incumbents who previously expressed intentions to run for reelection Dave Mandelkern, Patricia Miljanich and Karen Schwarz. Thus far only Mandelkern led his papers. Burlingame resident Marc Freidman, who was recently appointed to the San Mateo Union High School District Board, led to keep his seat. Board President Stephen Rogers is also up for re-election, no word yet
A memorial celebration of Morgans life will be held 3 p.m. Sunday, July 24 at the Sandpiper Community Center at Sandpiper School, 797 Redwood Shores Parkway, Redwood Shores. The family requests memorial donations in Morgans honor directed to the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation, 1100 Industrial Road #1, San Carlos, CA 94070. on if hell run. Shelly Masur, trustee for the Redwood City Elementary School District, led to run for re-election. Board President Alisa MacAvot previously led and Trustee Dennis McBride expressed plans to run again. Seth Rosenblatt, vice president of the San Carlos Elementary School District Board of Trustees, led to run again. Board President Tom Quiggle is also up for re-election. He has yet to le. Mark Hudak, San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District Board president, will not seek a third term an announcement he made at last nights board meeting. He is hoping to stay involved with the schools, perhaps on the Fiscal Advisory Committee. Trustee Colleen Sullivans term is also up. So far no one has led to run for either seat.

Sprinkler malfunction causes ooding at terminal
A sprinkler system malfunctioned at San Francisco International Airport Thursday morning, ooding part of Terminal 1. The sprinkler malfunctioned at about 8:50 a.m., releasing a lot of water into the security area at Boarding Area C, airport duty manager Joe Walsh said. The security area was shut down, and passengers were told to go through security at Boarding Area B instead and were then bused to their gates, airport spokesman Michael McCarron said. Two security lines had reopened as of 11 a.m., Walsh said.

STATE
SACRAMENTO California plans to borrow about $5 billion from private investors next week to protect itself in case the federal government defaults on its debt, the state treasurers ofce announced Thursday. State Treasurer Bill Lockyer said he has asked a select group of banks, credit unions and investment funds for bids Tuesday on private loans to help the state avoid a cash shortage. Lockyer, a Democrat, said the state needs to
act in case talks between Republicans and Democrats in Washington, D.C., remain at an impasse. That could force the federal government to default on loan obligations and shortchange states on health care and education funding. We will accept and award bids on July 26, said Lockyers spokesman, Tom Dresslar. If the president and Congress reach an agreement to raise the debt ceiling before we award the bids, we could pull the plug on the sale. The loan is scheduled for one week before the federal government faces default unless a deal is
reached to extend the governments borrowing authority. The treasurers ofce is taking the precaution because its unclear whether California would be able to borrow that much money if global credit markets are thrown into turmoil. The state typically borrows money in late summer to pay operating expenses until most income tax receipts arrive in the spring. If the state borrows $5 billion from private investors next week, California would repay the loan later through routine borrowing notes. The state, which currently has the lowest credit rat-
ing among the 50 states at A-, is planning to issue short-term borrowing notes in late August. Its not clear how much the additional loans could cost California taxpayers. Lockyer has previously said hes hoping to secure a good interest rate because the state changed the way it calculates how much money it has in reserve this year. President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner continued to negotiate Thursday in hopes of agreeing on a large decit-cutting package as the deadline looms to extend the debt limit.

Schwarzenegger doesnt want to pay Shriver support
LOS ANGELES Arnold Schwarzenegger indicated in a court ling that he does not want to pay wife Maria Shriver spousal support or attorney fees as the couple ends their 25-year marriage. The dispute may have little impact on the divorce, since the former Hollywood couple is expected to reach a condential, out-of-court settlement. The former couple does not have a prenuptial agreement, according to their lings. That means Shriver would be entitled to half of Schwarzeneggers assets under California law, although the exact terms were expected to be set through private mediation. Schwarzenegger would also be expected to provide nancial support for his children. In other celebrity divorces, those sums have totaled tens of thousands of dollars a month.
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK The deaths of three young tourists who were swept over a 317-foot waterfall this week in Yosemite National Park serve as a reminder of the deadly and alluring beauty of the raging rivers and streams across the West after a record winter snowfall. As temperatures rise, the melting snow has engorged waterways, causing ooding and sometimes tragic consequences. Some states have seen an increase in water-related deaths that they blame on the surge in river ows. Witnesses to the Yosemite tragedy described the traumatizing image of a young woman slipping on a rock above the raging Vernal Fall and two friends falling while trying to save her. In an instant, a church photo opportunity turned horrific beyond description as the frigid Merced River, swollen by snowmelt, swept the trio over the edge Tuesday. I cant talk about what happened there,
Tanya Badal, sister of one of the victims, said before breaking into sobs Wednesday. Across the West, rafters, kayakers, swimmers and even some drivers have lost their lives in recent weeks due to fast-moving water. In Montana, at least 10 people have drowned so far this year and another man is missing and presumed drowned after trying to retrieve an oar that fell out of his raft Sunday. Only three people drowned in 2010, and Montana ofcials are warning that the difference is the volume of fast and cold water from the melting snowpack and spring rains. At least 11 people have drowned in Utah waterways since April, many of them swept away in fast-owing rivers swollen by melting snowpack. The deaths included a 15-year-old boy who drowned in a swollen river near Zion National Park in June while swimming with friends who were swept over a waterfall. Five people have died after being swept into Colorados raging rivers and creeks. One of them, a Kansas woman, drowned June 22 after
rolling her vehicle into a river. Swollen rivers in Wyoming have killed at least half a dozen people this summer, including four members of a Colorado family whose vehicle plunged into a washout Tuesday, and a 4-year-old boy who was one of ve people in a canoe that capsized on the Green River. In California, the Sierra Nevada mountain range saw twice its normal snowfall. With high temperatures creating a fast melt, some rivers are owing with twice the force as usual for a time of year when many might have slowed to a lazy run. Law enforcement agencies closed long stretches of rivers in the western Sierra Nevada foothills in June as swift water created a potentially deadly allure. More than a dozen people have died along the Kern River in the southern San Joaquin Valley. Tuesdays deaths bring to six the number of people who have died in water accidents this year at Yosemite, where breathtaking waterfalls and rivers are at their most turbulent level in years.
LOS ANGELES Two teens were shot and wounded in an apparent gang shooting Thursday outside a Los Angeles park participating in the citys much-vaunted program to reduce violence in the streets by keeping recreation areas well-lit
and open at night. The shooting came a day before delegates at a U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting were to visit another park in the program trumpeted as a model for other cities. It was also the second time in eight days that violence erupted after a Summer Night Lights event, which keeps parks open until midnight and
employs ofcers and gang-intervention workers to keep them safe. Police were evaluating how best to deploy ofcers to prevent more attacks. Thursdays shooting happened just after midnight as a 15-year-old girl and an 18-year-old man were leaving the recreation center in the gritty Wilmington community near the Port of Los Angeles.

WASHINGTON In secretive endgame negotiations, President Barack Obama and House Republican leaders reached anew on Thursday for an elusive grand bargain deal to cut decits by $4 trillion or more and prevent a government default, ofcials said. House Speaker John Boehner declared that his rank and le generally stood ready to compromise in order to reach an agreement as a way of getting our economy going again and growing jobs. Obama, in a newspaper opinion piece, said the talks provided an opportunity to do something big and meaningful. Still, 12 days before the default deadline, officials stressed that no compromise appeared imminent and that signicant differences remained. And new hope of one ran instantly into old resistance: from Republicans opposed to higher taxes and Democrats loath to cut Medicare and other benet programs.
In a measure of concern among Democrats, party leaders spent nearly two hours meeting with Obama at the White House late Thursday. Democratic officials familiar with Obamas talks with Republicans Barack Obama said that while some cuts could be agreed upon and even enacted relatively quickly, there were major differences on taxes and savings from benet programs like Medicare and Social Security. As an example, there is no agreement on how much additional revenue would be raised through an expected overhaul of the tax code, or how to require Congress to enact cuts to benet programs. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss sensitive negotiations. While talks on a major, long-term agree-
ment continued, a fresh, shorter-term backup plan appeared to be gaining momentum. Under discussion among some House Republicans, that proposal would cut spending by $1 trillion or slightly more immediately and raise the debt limit by a similar amount enough to postpone a nal reckoning until early in 2012. Both sides maneuvered for political advantage and for leverage in negotiations about which little was publicly known. At the end of the day, we have a responsibility to act, said Boehner of GOP lawmakers. Across the Capitol, however, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid blamed some of the same Republicans tea party extremists, he called them of blocking a deal. The sometimes-conflicting information underscored the frenzied nal days before a threatened default, when the Treasury would no longer be able to pay all its bills in full and the economy could go into a tailspin as interest rates spiked.
HOUSTON There was no crying in Mission Control. And it took awhile before there were any signs of emotion from the steely engineers of that famous room that takes care of the astronauts from start to wheels-stop. As the last space shuttle landed Thursday morning, the two dozen men and one woman in Mission Control stayed focused. Behind and above them in the VIP room, their families applauded when Atlantis touched down, but not the controllers themselves. They had to make sure the shuttle and its crew of four were safe.
Their work only ends when the crew is out and Florida ground operations takes charge. Now, this historic room which has overseen more than 60 shuttle ights will revert to a training center for future controllers for the International Space Station. Thursday was a milestone that many had been dreading. Before giving the nal command to order Atlantis to re its engines to come home, ight director Tony Ceccacci turned to his colleagues and told them: Time to make our Mommas proud. An hour after landing, the inevitable could no longer be avoided. It was time to let go. Hopefully, I can get through this, Ceccacci said, launching into a speech to his
colleagues and others over NASA airwaves. He couldnt. He choked up once, but then pushed through. Still no tears. The work done in this room, in this building, will never again be duplicated, he said. Savor the moment, Ceccacci said. Soak it in. And know that you are the best. The best in the world. Your work here has made America and the world a better place. Its been an unbelievable and amazing journey. Then came the applause, the hugs and handshakes. People took pictures, laughed and some had long wistful faces. Controllers kept giving the thumbs-up and tissues mostly stayed in the pocket. They were under orders to keep dry eyes.

OPINION
lines which exceed noise standards. While there is no legal basis for either the county or the Roundtable instigating lawsuits, I suggest that creating an adversarial relationship in lieu of cooperating with SFO, the airlines and the affected communities is not a productive path to follow. Im not sure anyone welcomes the specter of litigation, which would be sure to follow, as a substitute for 30 years of a generally positive working relationship. All organizations have room for improvement and the San Francisco International Airport/Community Roundtable is no exception. Even though it is a nationally recognized body, constant monitoring and vigilance are a task assumed by the membership, almost all of whom are locally elected ofcials. Im sure the membership is looking closely at the grand jury ndings and will make changes where appropriate and necessary.
Gene Mullin is a former member of the California Assembly and the former mayor of South San Francisco. He was the former chair of the San Francisco International Airport/Community Roundtable while serving on the South San Francisco City Council and chaired the Assembly Select Committee on Airports and the Airline Industry.
he San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury has released a report criticizing the San Francisco International Airport/Community Roundtable for not more aggressively mitigating the noise and vibration from operations at the airport. While the report makes some good points, it blithely downgrades or overlooks the signicant accomplishments achieved over the past 30 years of the organizations existence. In fact, the report starts with the acknowledgment that SFO is one of the busiest airports in the world and is experiencing signicant expansion and increase in both domestic and international travel. Given that reality, the report acknowledges that noise complaints have decreased over the past few years. With scant evidence, the report suggests the reduction is the result of frustration by potential complaining callers. This conclusion ignores the completion of insulating 15,000 residences within the 65 CNEL noise footprint of departures, the Fly Quiet programs suc-
Guest perspective
cesses in working with altitudes of arrivals and departures as well as working to eliminate single event excessive noise, quieter jet engines and operations and signicant changes in runway monitoring and usage. Those combined with the vigilance of the countys city representatives is the more likely cause of the complaint reductions.

Editor, In his letter to the the Daily Journal on July 21, Mr. Steve White castigates Mr. Keith C. De Filippis of San Jose over a letter he previously wrote, and threatens to not read the Journal or transact business with any of the Journals advertisers. Ive been in Mr. Whites position, and I ask Mr. White to reconsider and not cut off his nose to spite his face, especially since Mr. Keith C. De Filippis also writes to the other Bay Area newspapers. I was very much interested in one of the Medal of Honor recipients, Henry Svehla, because he came from the small town of Belleville, N. J., the town in which I grew up (Whether Ive ever grown up is another issue). Mr. Svehla threw himself on top of a grenade to save his buddies. He was my age within a year, yet somehow I didnt know him. Neither did any of my classmates I asked. Perhaps he had dropped out of high school before graduating; that wasnt unusual those days. In the Korean War, we lost our class president, Rene, who had joined
the Marines; I lost a school buddy, Ray, when his F-86 Sabre blew up in midair as he was landing; and Herky was blinded in action. Herky later ran a bar and nobody noticed his nger inside the glass, as he drew you a cool one, to know when the glass was full. I easily could have, but I didnt consider Mr. De Filippis letter to be a scandalous slur on our service people in any way.

The S&P 500 index rose 17.96 points, or 1.4 percent, to 1,343.80. The Nasdaq composite index rose 20.20 points, or 0.7 percent, to 2,834.43. The yield on the 10-year Treasury jumped to 3.00 percent, up from 2.93 percent late Wednesday. The euro rose two cents to $1.44. Europes debt crisis and the debate over raising the U.S. governments borrowing limit have kept investors on edge over the past two weeks. The Dow and S&P have ip-opped between gains and losses over the past eight trading days. Markets have overreacted to signs of progress in the European debt crisis before. In late June, stocks soared when French banks agreed to accept slower repayment of loans to Greece. Markets rose again two days later after Greek lawmakers passed an austerity bill, a necessary step before the country could receive a loan installment. Each rally has been short-lived. But this deal is more comprehensive. This is the rst serious effort to address Greeces problems, said Guy LeBas, chief xed income strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. LeBas said the 110 billion euro loan package arranged last year by the European Union and International Monetary Fund just piled more loans on top of the debt Greece already owed.
NEW YORK Whats good for Europe is good for markets. News that European leaders were drawing up a new rescue plan for Greece and taking a broader approach to dealing with Europes debt troubles drove markets higher Thursday. The Dow rose 152 points. Oil crossed above $100 for the rst time since June. The euro rose against the dollar, and U.S. government bonds fell. At an emergency meeting in Brussels, European ofcials agreed to give Greece a rescue package worth 109 billion euros ($155 billion). They also plan to lower interest rates and lengthen payback terms for loans to Greece, as well as those made to Ireland and Portugal. European ofcials gave new powers to the regions bailout fund, allowing it to provide credit to struggling countries before a crisis ares up. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said European ofcials want to tackle the root of the debt crisis. Worries about Europes debt crisis have been hanging over nancial markets for months. A default by Greece or another deeply indebted country could freeze debt markets and cause other damage to Europes banking system. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 152.50 points, or 1.2 percent, to close at 12,724.41.

BEIJING It looks almost exactly like a sleek Apple store. Sales assistants in blue T-shirts with the companys logo chat with customers. Signs advertising the iPad 2 hang on the white walls. Outside, the famous logo sits next to the words Apple Store one of the few clues that the whole thing is a fake. China, long known for producing counterfeit consumer gadgets, software and brand name clothing, has reached a new piracy milestone fake Apple stores. An American who lives in Kunming in southern Yunnan province said Thursday
that she and her husband stumbled on three shops masquerading as bona de Apple stores in the city a few days ago. She took photos and posted them on her BirdAbroad blog. The 27-year-old blogger, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the setup of the stores was so convincing that the employees themselves seemed to believe they worked for Apple. It had the classic Apple store winding staircase and weird upstairs sitting area. The employees were even wearing those blue T-shirts with the chunky Apple name tags around their necks, she wrote on her blog.
But some things were just not right: the stairs were poorly made. The walls hadnt been painted properly. Apple never writes Apple Store on its signs it just puts up the glowing, iconic fruit. A worker at the fake Apple store on Zhengyi Road in Kunming, which most of the photos of the BirdAbroad blog show, told The Associated Press that they are an Apple store before hanging up. But the three stores are not among the authorized resellers listed on Apple Inc.s website. The maker of the iPhone and other hit gadgets has four company stores in China two in Beijing and two in Shanghai and various ofcial resellers.

With one mighty swing of the bat, Dominic Susa of the Belmont 9-10 Little League All-Stars put an exclamation point on their tear through the post season. Already leading Manteca 10-1 in the top of the fifth inning in Thursdays Section 3 championship game in Danville, Susa came up to the plate with the bases loaded. And just as he had all tournament long, Susa delivered, blasting a grand slam

Nicholas Lopez got the win on the mound, pitching four innings of onerun baseball and striking out seven Manteca hitters along the way. Susa came in for the bottom of the fth a strikeout and a couple of ground balls later the game was over and Belmonts dream season continued.

NFL owners overwhelmingly approved a tentative agreement Thursday to end the lockout, provided players re-establish their union and sign off on the deal. The players, however, didnt vote, saying they had not seen the full proposal. Owners voted 31-0 the Oakland Raiders abstained and soon afterward, the league issued a press release announcing: NFL clubs approved today the terms of a comprehensive settlement of litigation and a new 10year collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Players Association. Then NFLPA head DeMaurice Smith sent an email to team reps saying: Issues that need to be collectively bargained remain open; other issues, such as workers compensation, economic issues and end of deal terms, remain unresolved. There is no agreement between the NFL and the players at this time. Players held a conference call Thursday night and decided not to vote. Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke on the phone several times Thursday with Smith, including lling him in on the results of the vote before it was announced. Hopefully, we can all work quickly, expeditiously, to get this agreement done, Goodell

We had 52 campers ranging from fourth to eighth grade. We had girls show up so were branching out trying to get boys and girls to show up. We have a lot of my players serving as counselors, working there some of my assistant coaches, former players, so we have a great time. We take it pretty seriously, we try to make sure the kids have a lot of fun but, at the same time, learning the fundamentals of basketball.
The second session of the Dowd Camp runs from July 25 to July 29, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. I think each year, its the same way with us coaches, we learn a little bit more, become a little better teachers, Dowd said of the evolution of his camp. We really focus on simple things: Jump stops, passing, shooting, do a lot of repetitions, a lot of skill drill type of stuff in the morning, and a lot of competitive games in the afternoon.

COLLEGE PARK, Ga. The NFL canceled its Hall of Fame game between St. Louis and Chicago on Thursday despite owners voting in favor of a tentative deal to end the lockout, pending player approval. The Rams and Bears originally were scheduled to open their training camps this weekend and play in the game to open the preseason schedule on Aug. 7 in Canton, Ohio. But NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the game had to be dropped because the Rams and Bears wouldnt have ample time to prepare. The time is just too short, he said. Unfortunately, we will not be there to play the game there this year. Goodell added that the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies will go on as planned on Aug. 6. This years class of inductees includes Deion Sanders, Marshall Faulk, Shannon Sharpe and Richard Dent. The Pro Football Hall of Fame said in a
statement Thursday night that it was disappointed by the decision, which will have a signicant adverse economic impact on both the hall and city of Canton. The hall added that it appreciated the effort that was made on our behalf by the league and players right up until the last minute, and that the longterm effects of a new agreement would be benecial to all involved. The hall said it would issue full ticket refunds for fans who already purchased seats for the game. The Bears were supposed to open camp Friday, but team president Ted Phillips said it was going to be difcult for the team to prepare to play the game because of the delay in getting back to work. Because we have Richard Dent being enshrined, its disappointing from that standpoint, Phillips said, but probably the most fair given the circumstances of the offseason that every team starts training camp on the same day.

U.S. wins softball World Cup opener 7-2 over Czechs
OKLAHOMA CITY Stacy MayJohnson homered, Rhea Taylor had a two-run triple and the United States beat the Czech Republic 7-2 Thursday night at the World Cup of Softball. Playing without an Olympic medalist, the Americans are fielding an inexperienced bunch instead of the group of veterans who once were a dominant force in international softball. Superstar Jennie Finch retired from the U.S. team during last years World Cup, and Jessica Mendoza, Cat Osterman and Natasha Watley are among several former Olympic gold medalists who decided not to return to the team this year. A group of rookie Americans still combined to win the teams rst international game on U.S. soil this year. Taylor put the United States ahead to stay with her two-run triple to deep right eld in the second inning. May-Johnsons solo shot bumped the lead to 6-2 after the Czechs scored twice in the top of the fourth. She also singled twice. With only three players whod even been on the national team before, the U.S. is going through a transition period. The sport has been dropped from the Olympics for both 2012 and 2016 and the earliest it could return would be 2020. Many top stars retired after the 2008 Games, and others have stepped aside since then or turned their attention to building the professional game. Without them, the Americans lost three times to top rival and 2008 gold medalist Japan this month at the Canada Cup, including in the championship game. Instead, the national team is stocked with players who are in college or just nished it. Taylor was a part of three Womens College World Series teams at Missouri, playing her last college game on the same field in Oklahoma City less than two months earlier.

Thursday by the Pacific Legal Foundation, that the test, as applied to high schools, violates the equal protection clause. The group claims it will lead to quotas and the elimination of boys sports teams, and is seeking a court order to stop the department from using it. Education Department spokesman Jim Bradshaw called the test a valuable tool for ensuring a level playing eld for all students. It plays a critical role in ensuring a fundamental level of fairness in Americas schools and universities, he said. Title IX has helped open more academic and sports opportunities for women and girls. The council, formerly the College Sports Council, was one of several groups that also challenged the three-part test for college sports. A federal judge dismissed the case in 2003, saying the plaintiffs didnt have the right to sue. Before the law, less than 300,000 girls participated in high school sports, compared with 3.5 million boys, according to the department. In 2007-08, the number of girls participating increased to 3 million, compared with 4.4 million boys. The councils chairman, Eric Pearson, said his group was concerned about complaints led with the department last fall by the National Womens Law Center, which claimed that 12 school districts violated Title IX by not offering equal opportunities for girls. The center cited double-digit gaps between the percentage of female students and the percentage of female athletes. The center said many sports werent offered to girls in the districts, and that the gaps had gotten worse in recent years. Pearson said his groups suit was intended to stop the department from acting on those and other recent complaints. He said a proportionality test would lead schools to cut boys teams. He noted that 1.3 million more boys than girls play high school sports, according to a National Federation of State High School Associations 2009-10 survey. We are trying to prevent boys
WASHINGTON A group of coaches, parents and others is suing the Education Department over how it determines whether high schools are complying with the federal law that bans sex discrimination in schools that receive federal money. At issue is a three-part test to judge a schools compliance with the 1972 law, known as Title IX: having male and female athletes in proportion to their enrollment; showing a pattern of expanding opportunities for females; or proving the sports interests of females have been met. The American Sports Council argues in the lawsuit, being led
from being punished, he said. Neena Chaudhry, senior counsel at the center, said that the three-part test is exible and that theres no evidence that boys have been hurt by it. From our perspective, this is not a zero-sum game we want opportunities for boys and girls, she said. Unfortunately, schools are still not devoting the resources and the same opportunities for girls as they are for boys. In 2007, the council led a petition with the department, seeking a determination that the three-part test does not apply to high school athletics. The following year, the department denied the petition.
MONACO Usain Bolt claims hell be happy to successfully defend both sprint titles and stay injury-free at the world championships, ruling out the prospect of lowering his 100-meter world record. The Jamaican will take on European champion Christophe Lemaitre of France and teammates Nesta Carter and Michael Frater Usain Bolt at the Diamond League meet in Monaco on Friday. Its his last 100 before the worlds open Aug. 27 in Daegu, South Korea. After being hampered by injuries last season, Bolts season-best time of 9.91 seconds is well short of his world mark. Im not where I want to be. It is getting better but its a long way from 9.58, for sure, Bolt said at a news conference Thursday. I dont think Ill be in that form this season. But I denitely need to get to 9.6, 9.7. Im working hard, Im trying to
stay focused on the job I have and its coming together. Bolt ended his season last August because of back and Achilles injuries after losing to Tyson Gay in Stockholm. He returned to that track in May to run his fastest 100 of the year. But hes wary of pushing his body too hard, citing his American rivals absence from the worlds following a hip operation. People think you just go and run fast, said Bolt, whose last race before the worlds will be in the 200 at Stockholm. But when you get injured its very hard, as you can see with Tyson Gay, to come back from injuries. You have to be careful in the way you push you body. Youve got to work to take your time. Sometimes when you want to rush things its going to be worse. But I have a great coach and he knows what to do. The three-time Olympic champion still has the Monaco meet record of 9.82 in his sights, set three years ago by Asafa Powell. He wants to extend his dominance over Lemaitre after beating him in the 100 in Rome and in the 200 in France this month. Ive seen its very fast, Bolt said of the Louis II stadium track. But
for me, its all about execution. If I can get execution, then it should be a good time. Im just looking forward to executing well. Lemaitre said his form is improving and fatigue wont be a factor. Tomorrow, I will aim for the best possible placing. When you look at the eld, its obvious that a good placing will bring a good time, he said. The meet also will mark Australian pole vaulter Steven Hookers return. The Olympic and world champion, who hasnt competed since the Commonwealth Games in October because of a knee injury, is up against American leader Brad Walker and European champion Renaud Lavillenie of France. But Ive been training the whole time, Hooker said. I would have liked to jump a bit more, but lets see how it goes. I spent my time, surprisingly enough, training. It took a long time to get it right. I spent a lot of time in the gym and I think Im stronger now. In the mens 800, Kenyan world record holder David Rudisha will have pacemaker Sammy Tangui in the eld as he tries to improve on the season-best time of 1:43.46 he set last month in Nancy, France.
INDIANAPOLIS Future NCAAs womens basketball tournaments may not have to going head-to-head against the mens tourney. On Thursday, the governing body announced the Division I womens basketball committee will study the feasibility of moving the start of the tournament back one week from its typical mid-March start. No deadline has been set for a recommendation, and the study still needs to be approved by two additional NCAA committees. But the possibility of sliding the entire tournament back one week -- and possibly changing game days -- is real. I think what the committee wants to do is take a really hard look at whats best for the tournament, Sue Donohoe, NCAA vice president of Division I womens basketball, told The Associated Press on Thursday. If they believe thats whats best for the tournament, they will look at the competition days. Theyre going to look at the shift rst and if that is the case, what is in the best interest for tourney dates. The proposal will not affect the 2012 tournament and is unlikely to be in place before the 2013 tourney either, Donohoe said.
Currently, the womens firstround games coincide with the start of the second-round play in the mens tourney. \The womens second-round games are held on Monday and Tuesday, when the men are off. The womens championship game is held one day after the mens title game. But committee members want to evaluate whether a later start date will increase attendance, make the tourney more attractive to corporate partners and generate more media coverage. As a committee, we want to do what is best for womens basketball, said Marilyn McNeil, the committee chairwoman and the athletic director at Monmouth. If this is the best way of enhancing the championship, the sooner a decision is made, the sooner an implementation date can be established. If a new March starting date is approved, the womens basketball calendar may need significant adjustments. The start of practice and regularseason games would likely be pushed back. Conference tournament dates would probably have to be moved, and the recruiting calendar also would probably be changed.

Citys Mancini still sanguine on Carlos Tevez
MARINA DEL REY Roberto Mancini considers Carlos Tevez an important member of Manchester City despite the Argentina strikers uncertain future with the club. Tevez has expressed a desire to leave the English Premier League club after two seasons in order to be near his family in South America. He remains with Manchester City after an agreement on a move to Corinthians was unable to be worked out. At the moment, Carlos is still a City player, Mancini said. In the future, we will see what can happen. For us, Carlos is an important player. Mancini said he has yet to speak with Tevez but respects the captains wish to play closer to his family. The Manchester City manager said the uncertainty isnt affecting the way he is preparing for the season. Carlos wants to leave for his family, Mancini said. Only because of this the, club accepts it. I think its because we respect his reason. Tevez appeared to be on his way to Corinthians until the proposed move fell through this week. The transfer would have reunited Tevez with his former club, but Corinthians said they needed more time to arrange a deal. Tevez has been a stabilizing force up front in his time with City, scoring 43 goals in Premiership play over the past two campaigns.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Thinking of trading in the clunker in your garage for something that gets better gas mileage? Wait a little longer. Small car prices, which have set record highs this year, are expected to come down this fall. Lower gas prices will make people comfortable driving something bigger. Honda and Toyota, which were hurt by the Japan earthquake, will crank up production of small cars. And Japan and Detroit will offer big discounts on smaller models as their lots ll up. The average new compact car, which cost a record $20,500 in June, should fall to about $19,300 by the end of the year. The average used compact car should fall from a record $11,300 to about $9,600 over the same time, according gures compiled by the Kelley Blue Book auto pricing service. Small-car prices should start falling in September and accelerate through the end of the year. Values for these vehicles just rose too quickly and got to
The 2011 Hyundai Elantra combines comfort with style,gets 40 miles to the gallon on the freeway and costs less than $21,000.
The attractive 2011 Hyundai Elantra sedan is arguably the best-looking smallish sedan in the country. Its also a value-minded ve-seater that lets buyers add coveted features, like navigation system, rearview camera, upscale alloy wheels and 360-watt, premium audio, and still wind up with a sticker price of $20,350 or less. Every Elantra sedan is government rated at 40 miles per gallon in highway driving. Buyers dont have to pay more as they do with the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze and 2011 Ford Fiesta to get a high-mileage version. And the Elantra, like every Hyundai, comes with a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and a limited bumper-to-bumper warranty for 5 years/60,000 miles. Starting manufacturers suggested retail price, including destination charge, for a 2011 Elantra GLS sedan is $15,695 with manual transmission and $17,945 with automatic. Note the Elantras automatic is a six speed, which uses its six gears to maximize fuel mileage. The automatic also has Shiftronic, allowing drivers to shift from gear to gear sans clutch pedal, if they want to control upshifts and downshifts for a sporty experience. In comparison, the 2012 Honda Civic, which has a starting retail price of $15,575 with manual tranny and $17,375 with automatic, has a ve-speed
automatic with no shift-it-yourself function and a lower city and highway fuel economy rating. And while the 2011 Toyota Corolla, with a retail starting price of $16,660, generates 132 horsepower from its 1.8liter, four-cylinder engine, the 2011 Elantra gets 148 horses out of its Hyundai-built 1.8-liter four cylinder. Even the Chevrolet Cruze, with a starting MSRP plus destination charge of $17,275 with manual transmission, delivers less horsepower 138 from its uplevel, turbocharged four cylinder than the base Elantra has. There are two body styles of the Elantra: Sedan and a ve-door Touring hatchback. Elantra sales surpassed 100,000 in the rst six months of this calendar year, illustrating a strong attraction for the redesigned car thats the second smallest in the Hyundai lineup, after the Accent. The 2011 revamp of the Elantra added 1 inch in overall length and 2 inches to the cars wheelbase, which is the distance from the middle of one wheel to the middle of the other wheel on the same side of the car. The result is more passenger room so much that passenger volume now surpasses that of the Corolla, Ford Fiesta and Focus as well as Chevys Cruze. Indeed, with the 14.8 cubic feet of cargo space in the trunk added in, the Elantras total volume of 110.4 inches qualies it as a mid-size sedan, not a compact, according to the federal government.

a level that was really unsustainable, says Alec Gutierrez, manager of vehicle valuation for the Kelley Blue Book car pricing service. Here are factors pushing down small-car prices: Small-car surplus: Carmakers such as Honda and Toyota are boosting production following Japans March 11 earthquake and tsunami. The disaster essentially shut down that nations auto industry and slowed Japanese-brand factories in North America. With factories returning to normal, American dealers will have more Civics, Corollas and Priuses. And they wont have to put small-car buyers on waiting lists, like they did this spring. In fact, some will have more small cars than they need says George Davis, general manager of a Honda dealership in Ann Arbor, Mich. One minute theyre going to look out the window and see 50 cars. Two weeks later theyll see 300. Panic sets in, he says. They pay interest on these cars and theyll have to discount. Deals: Honda and Toyota dealers will increase rebates, low-interest nancing and
DETROIT New York City has approved the Ford Taurus sedan and Ford Transit Connect van for use as taxis for the next two years, allowing the carmaker to keep a foothold in the New York cab market even as it phases out the Crown Victoria sedan. The citys Taxi and Limousine Commission approved the vehicles Thursday. The commission also approved the Nissan Altima sedan and is expected to approve the Chevrolet Impala next week. Its a small victory for Ford Motor Co., which was passed over this spring when New York named a minivan from Nissan Motor Co. as its ofcial taxi. The aging Ford Crown Victoria currently makes up the bulk of New Yorks 13,200-cab eet, but its going out of production later this year. The Nissan NV200 will still be the citys ofcial taxi starting in the fall of 2013. At that point, any taxi owner replacing a cab must purchase the $29,000 NV200, a four-passenger minivan with sliding doors. The NV200 will be the citys ofcial cab for a decade.
But until 2013, taxi companies will be allowed to buy the Altima, Transit Connect, Taurus and any other cars that meet the citys requirements as they replace Crown Victorias and other older cabs. New York originally wanted only hybrid or gas-powered equivalents of hybrids to be allowed, but it loosened the rules after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the city lacks the authority to set mileage standards for taxis. The Altima does come in a hybrid version, but the Taurus, Transit Connect and Impala do not. The Transit Connect comes in an all-electric version. Ford expects most of its orders will be for the Transit Connect, a van that went on sale in the U.S. in 2009. The company has sold around 100 Transit Connect taxis in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and Las Vegas, Ford Americas President Mark Fields said Thursday. But New Yorks taxi market is the largest in the country. Operators buy around 3,000 taxis per year, he said. Once the Transit Connect van gets on the streets of New York, residents and tourists will get familiar with the strengths of the vehicle, Fields told the Associated Press.
other promotions, Gutierrez predicts. GM and Ford will be right behind them, and Hyundai as well, he says. Automakers say they wont cut prices even if Toyota and Honda come out with bigger incentives. Instead, they want to sell cars on quality, styling and features. Dealers and analysts are skeptical, though, saying that once Honda and Toyota restock, prices will fall as rivals try to win customers who have to replace their clunkers. The average age of a car in the U.S. is now 10.6 years, up more than a full year from 2008, according to the Polk research rm. Lower gas prices: Gas prices are down 31 cents from their peak of $3.98 a gallon in May, and although small-car demand is still strong, buyers have started to shift to larger vehicles. Compact and subcompact sales fell to just under 195,000 last month, down from 238,000 in March, according to Autodata Corp. Theres now a shortage of cars at Pacic Honda near San Diego. But theyll be a surplus after July and buyers will see deals, says Wayne Meyer, president of the chain that owns the dealership. Pacic Honda has about 38 vehicles in stock instead of the usual 350. Theres going to be so much car availability, Meyer says. Automakers are going to be defending market share they gained or regaining market share they lost. I didnt strive for fuel mileage in combined city/highway travel, so I never got near the 40mpg government highway rating. But I easily managed just over 27 mpg, which is decent for a car this size that was pushed to perform. At barely 2,700 pounds, the Elantra had a sprightly feel in city trafc, and it accelerated decently on the highway. Theres nothing gimmicky about the gauges or controls, and the overall sense, for anyone who remembers earlier Elantras, is that the Elantra has moved upscale in a big way. I liked how the rear-seat oor was nearly at, so theres no big hump to contend with, and a rear-seat center armrest is in every Elantra. Rear seat head room, at 37.1 inches, is on par with that of the Corolla and Honda, which is surprising given that the Elantras rooine slopes back there to give a coupe-like appearance. Rear seatbacks fold down to accommodate long items protruding from the trunk. All safety features, including curtain air bags, stability control and traction control are standard. This includes antilock brakes with brake discs at all four wheels. The Chevy Cruze base model and Toyota Corollas have more traditional brake drums at the rear wheels.

compared with 36-plus inches in the back of the Corolla and Civic sedans. The test Elantra was a base GLS model with automatic and the right selection of extras, such as the aforementioned nav and premium audio systems, rearview camera, upscale alloy wheels and steering wheel controls. The car looked and felt upscale and topped out at just $20,345. In 100-degree temperatures, I preferred the nicely-done beige cloth seats in the test Elantra because they werent scorching hot to sit on the way leather seats can be. Too bad there were some dirty spots on the driver seat cushion from a previous driver. I didnt have textured, fancy ceiling material or plush trunk lining in the Elantra. But I was glad, since this helped keep the car price low so money could go, instead, for the brightly lit nav screen that was tted right into the top of the dashboard. It was much easier to use and see than the odd-looking, add-on-type nav systems used in other small cars.
By saving money in other areas, Hyundai put that money into the interior, including an easy-to-use navigation screen.Hyundai also did a good job making the interior ride quiet.
Audio sounds were clear and satisfying, and the upscale radio included XM satellite service Most impressive was how quiet the test Elantra rode. Interior noise was kept at a minimum and was noteworthy in this segment. The 1.8-liter, double overhead cam four cylinder thats in all Elantras isnt turbocharged but has continuously variable valve control to balance fuel mileage with performance. Torque peaks at 131 foot-pounds at 4,700 rpm, so acceleration in the tester was comfortably mainstream, not push-you-in-the-seat forceful.
Let Tony Stark make the wisecracks and Nick Fury give the intimidating commands. As Steve Rogers, Chris Evans brings an earnest dignity and intelligence to Captain America: The First Avenger, the final Marvel Comics set-up for next summers all-star blockbuster The Avengers. Theres little humor here outside a few moments in which this superhero discovers the full breadth of his powers and the presence of Tommy Lee Jones, who shows up and does that bemused, condescending thing he can do in his sleep. Director Joe Johnstons lm feels weighty and substantial, even in the dreaded and needless 3-D, and it has a beautiful, sepia-toned, art-deco look about it. The lighting, production design, costumes, even the perfect shade of red lipstick on retrochic Hayley Atwell all look just right. Plenty of action awaits, but its not empty or glossy. You are not in for a giddy, winking, high-ying summer ing. And thats OK theres something appealing about such an old-fashioned approach. Evans, who previously played a Marvel comic-book hero as the smart-alecky Human Torch in both Fantastic Four movies, takes a very different tone here as the World
War II ghting hero. Rogers is a scrawny kid from Brooklyn with dreams of military glory who keeps getting rejected each time he tries to sign up for service. (In a creepy but seamless special effect, Evans head is placed on a skinny body; that deep, serious voice of his gives the character gravitas and heart.) Scientist Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci) sees something special in him, though, and enlists him for a daring experiment. Through some high-tech injections, Steve is transformed into a super soldier known as Captain America. Despite his newly buffed physique, the government believes the best use of this human weapon is to send him out on tour selling war bonds. But Rogers isnt the only one whos been juicing: Hugo Weaving
plays the former Nazi leader Johann Schmidt, who will reveal himself to be the villainous Red Skull. Hes formed his own splinter group, Hydra, and insists that his minions greet him with a Hitler-style salute. Hes built some formidable weaponry with the help of Toby Jones as his put-upon scientist assistant. The rest of the abundant supporting cast includes Jones as Col. Chester Phillips, whos skeptical of the kids abilities; Dominic Cooper as the clever and charming inventor Howard Stark; and Atwell as British
agent Peggy Carter. Atwells gorgeous looks make her a great t for the part, but her character is better developed than you might imagine; shes no damsel in distress, waiting for Captain America to save her, but rather a trained ghter whos very much his equal. But Captain America is far more engaging when its about a scrappy underdog overcoming the odds than it is about generic shootouts and exploding tanks. It only scratches the surface in trying to examine the perils of premature
fame. And in satirizing our countrys tendency to fetishize patriotism, Captain America doesnt have much thats new to say: We worship and cling to our heroes, whether or not they want or deserve our adulation? Is that it? Still, such a reserved take on the subject might just be preferable to heavy-handed preaching. And were surely in store for an over-the-top spectacle when The Avengers hits theaters next year. Til then, this is a nourishing appetizer.

achieves his yearned-for past power as he gets out and directs trafc in the pitch-black night of New York Citys blackout. The showstopper is Mr. McClams heartbreaking reverie and song of how the Verdi opera La Traviata had brought him and his late wife together and why he was eager to hear it in New York City again. Not because he was an opera lover but because she had remarked: Who cares what you are listening to? Its who you are listening with. There was hardly a dry eye left in the house and he received the loudest and longest audience ovation of all. I will leave it others to ponder the philosophical messages underlying the plot. I just plain enjoyed the original music, the excellent singing, the creative comic wit of the creators and the winning performances of all of the actors.
Originally conceived by Kim Rosenstock at the Yale School of Drama and developed further at last years TheatreWorks New Works Festival, Fly by Night is an utterly charming modern musical, with one of the most winning casts in recent memory. Its my belief this creation will end up at least on New York Citys Off Broadway and I recommend it to all of our own Peninsula theater-goers. Having said that, I do need to point out it is not only a world premiere by TheatreWorks at the Lucie Stern Theatre in Palo Alto, but is still a work in progress. And, thats the downside of any such production. At this point in time, although there is nary a weak spot in any of the creativity of material or the beauty of the music and singing presented, its just too much of a good thing and, in my view, denitely, too long for a modern audience. Although there are a number of metaphysical, existentialist and supernatural underpinnings in the plot, especially self-determination versus chance versus fate, at the last, from a paying audiences point of view, the question is whether its entertaining. And that, it certainly is. A lot is due to a charming and winning cast, led by a director Bill Fennelly, who has a handle on the needed pace and ow of narrative, which centers upon the massive human repercussions of the Northeast power outage of 1965. The narrator and guide to the story is Wade McCollum, an extraordinari-

ly gifted performer, who also weaves though the action in a variety of male and female roles and as a ditzy Gypsy fortune teller. A nave and hapless Harold McClam (the winsome Ian Leonard from the recent TheaterWorks production of [title of the show]) is numbed by the recent death of his mother and his still deeply grieving father, Mr. McClam (James Judy). A non-achiever, yet aspiring musician, he ends up trapped in the mindless routine of a sandwich maker, working for an endlessly complaining New York City-style curmudgeon, the earthy Mr. Crabble (Michael McCormick), who still yearns for the excitement of the high point of his life, his days as an air trafc controller. Two beautiful and excellent actresses play sisters from a small town, Hill City, S.D. Miriam (Kristen Stokes) is very happy with her life as a diner waitress, while Daphne (Rachel Spencer Hewitt) is ambitious and eager to get to New York City to become a star. She is recruited to play the lead in a new play by aspiring playwright Joey Storms (Keith Pinto) which, after a year of constantly rewritten scripts and rehearsals, also becomes a victim of the central event of the power outage of 1965. The two sisters, eventually, complete a love triangle that puts Harold into a desperate dilemma of choice between them. In that blackout, Mr. Crabble
WEEKEND JOURNAL
Walking through a Siddi village, the kawandi, made by women for their children and grandchildren, are seen everywhere, draped over fences, hung on lines or spread on low roofs to be aired in the sun, yet they are practically unknown outside Siddi communities, even within India. Siddi quilts are highly individualistic, yet quilters share many clear and precise opinions about quality, beauty and the need to nish properly the corners with triangular patches called phulas, or owers. Catholic and Muslim Siddi women sometimes incorporate crosses or crescents in their designs, and baby quilts in particular are often bejeweled with lots of small, colorful patches called tikeli. All of the quilts in the MoAD exhibition are by members of the nonprot Siddi Womens Quilting Cooperative, which is keeping this tradition alive and vibrant. This exhibition is co-curated by Dr. Henry J. Drewal, Evjue-Bascom professor of African and African Diaspora Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Dr. Sarah K. Khan, director of the Tasting Cultures Foundation. A Curators Talk by Drewal and Khan at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 24 considers the vibrant arts and agriculture of the Siddis both past and present.

SOULFUL STITCHING. Africans have traveled, lived, and worked as merchants, sailors, soldiers and high court ofcials in South Asia for more than 1,500 years. Known as Siddis in India, those living today in the state of Karnataka are mostly the descendants of enslaved Africans brought to Goa by the Portuguese between the 16th and 19th centuries. Escaping bondage, they migrated into the Western Ghatt mountains where they created free, independent, African Diaspora communities. Numbering about 20,000 today, they live in small villages scattered in the forests and high plains and are renowned for their unique patchwork quilts known as kawandi. Soulful Stitching: Patchwork Quilts by Africans (Siddis) in India, at the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD), features 32 striking patchwork quilts made by Siddi women, heirs to the culture and values of those Africans transported so long ago. Soulful Stitching provides an opportunity to explore the African Diaspora in the Indian Ocean world through these colorful and vibrant quilts that demonstrate how cultural forms and traditions have been adapted throughout the Diaspora.
Soulful Stitching:Patchwork Quilts by Africans (Siddis) in India is at San Franciscos Museum of the African Diaspora through Sept.18.
at 685 Mission St. (at Third Street), San Francisco. The remarkable Face of MoAD, which can best be seen from across Mission Street before entering the museum, is a three-story high photomosaic composed of more than 2,100 individual images and stories from throughout the Diaspora. MoAD is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Closed
Monday and Tuesday. For information, call (415) 358-7200 or visit www.moadsf.org. Soulful Stitching: Patchwork Quilts by Africans (Siddis) in India runs through Sept. 18. *** HOBOS TO STREET PEOPLE. Santa Clara Universitys de Saisset Museum presents Hobos to Street People: ArtistsResponses to Homelessness from the New Deal to the Present, comparing artistic interpretations of homelessness from the Dust Bowl migrants of the 1930s to the stigmatized street people of today with a focus on California. Through painting, printmaking, photography and mixed media, Depression-era and contemporary artists offer glimpses of life on the street and call attention to the many similarities between the eras. Curator Art Hazelwood says, Some of the artists in this exhibition personally experienced homelessness and poverty, some worked directly with organizations to combat poverty, but all of them felt that art could be used to focus attention on homelessness. The idea that art can have a function in society by engaging in a struggle for a better world, and that everyone should take an interest in the well-being of less fortunate people are the twin beliefs of the artists in this show. The de Saisset Museum is located at 500 El Camino Real, Santa Clara. For information, visit

ture game utilizing the camera-based controller system. Kinect Star Wars developers also conrmed that a pod-racing mode based on Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, would be featured in the game. The game allows players to use gestures to drive pods across intergalactic landscapes, as well as wield light sabers and other powers of The Force.

NEW YORK For a foodie, the new lm about Spains renowned elBulli restaurant is a bit like an Angelina Jolie movie for a teenage boy. That boys never going on a date with Angelina. And sorry, dear foodie, but youre never gonna eat at elBulli. Well, at least food lovers can now salivate via celluloid. El Bulli: Cooking in Progress, a meticulous exploration of how this famously avant-garde eatery comes up with its insanely inventive creations, may not be for everyone. But for those passionate about the artistry and indeed the science of cooking, its dangerously close to porn. And for some, perhaps close to tragedy, too. Coowner and chef Ferran Adria announced earlier this year that on July 30 he will close his restaurant, a winner of three Michelin stars and countless other honors. Citing nancial struggles and a need to regroup after years of exhausting work, he said elBulli would become a think tank and research facility. German lmmaker Gereon Wetzel had no inkling of this when he shot his lm, training his cameras on elBullis creative team for 10 hours-plus per day, a week at a time, over 15 months in 2008 and 2009. But the news, which came during editing, didnt change his goal, which was to show the laborious, indeed painful, process of creating art in this case, edible art, dishes for an ever-changing menu of 30 to 50 courses that can take three, four, maybe ve hours to eat, for 50 lucky diners a night. Just a few names give you a sense of their unique nature: A gorgonzola tree. A parmesan crystal. A coconut sponge. Iced peppermint. Vacuumized mushrooms. Or vanishing ravioli with a pasta envelope, coated in maltodextrin, that literally disappears in front of your eyes. What fascinated me was the process, Wetzel said in an interview this week from his home in Munich. How do they do it? What does it take to get to these ideas? And so the 38-year-old director, who by the way professes not to be a foodie, spent most of his shooting time
not at the restaurant, which is on the coast a few hours from Barcelona and is open only six months a year, but in its lab in the city. There, a few top chefs spend the other six months creating the next seasons menu. The work Wetzel displays is more than painstaking. Adrias main deputies, Oriol Castro and Eduard Xatruch, labor and philosophize over the consistency of a mushroom. What happens when you vacuumize it? (A machine is used.)
For Marcela Valladolid, salads are not starters. They are big and beefy and substantial. Honestly, Im not a big fan of having a salad before a meal. Usually when I have a salad its pretty hearty, balanced and healthy and a full meal, the Food Network star said via e-mail. I love warm salads with bacon and spinach. I love the varieties of the nicoise that show up on so many menus. I love steak salads for their lusciousness and how the meat juices seep into the dressing. Growing up, Valladolid didnt get many chances to eat beyond her Mexican roots. And that made her rst experience with an Asian-
inspired salad memorable. I remember the rst time I tried an Oriental chicken salad, probably 20 years ago, and could not believe my mouth. I grew up in Tijuana so we werent much exposed to international cuisine, she said. I was very familiar with Chinese cuisine, but not this light, California-Asian dish. The Oriental dressing, moist chicken, shredded cabbage, thinly sliced and crisp carrots and crunchy wonton strips seemed like the most delicious combo on the planet. Now they serve them everywhere and its still one of my favorites. For the APs 20 Salads of Summer series, Valladolid offered a potato salad studded with grilled corn and poblano peppers.
1 scallion, thinly sliced, to garnish In a small bowl, stir together the mustard, mayonnaise and vinegar. Add the rice, ham and cheddar, then mix well.
1 slice deli turkey 1 slice provolone cheese Cut the yellow pepper into 6 strips. Using each pepper strip as a skewer, push 2 tortellini onto each strip. Use a paring knife to poke a hole into the top of each cherry tomato and cap the end of each pepper strip with a tomato and an olive. Cut the slices of turkey and provolone into 6 long strips, then wrap one of each around the skewers. Serve the skewers with a side of your childs favorite salad dressing.

Lunch box sandwiches dont have to default to ham and cheese or peanut butter and jelly. There are plenty of options to mix things up and keep them interesting.

Or if crusty bread isnt your kids thing, try folding or rolling the llings in a piece of lavash or naan atbread. Also get creative with llings.

Retailers to bring fresh produce to many without
WASHINGTON Michelle Obamas campaign against childhood obesity moved a step forward Wednesday with the announcement that Wal-Mart and other retailers plan over the next ve years to open or expand 1,500 stores in areas without easy access to fresh fruit, vegetables and other healthy foods. Make no mistake about it. This is a big deal. It is a really big deal, the rst lady said at the White House, where she was joined by executives from the national and regional retailers. Mrs. Obama is leading a nationwide effort to lower childhood obesity rates, including by making fresh and healthier foods widely available.

Were not big salad people in Mexico and Im always looking for ways to incorporate the ingredients that I grew up with into recipes that people on this side of the border can identify with. The combination of charred poblanos and corn is a classic one in Mexico and once added to a rich, creamy dressing and soft potatoes it makes for the perfect summer side, she said.

BOISE, Idaho At least three states are vowing to ignore the latest requirements under the No Child Left Behind law in an act of deance against the federal government that demonstrates their growing frustration over an education program they say sets unrealistic benchmarks for schools. The law sets a goal of having 100 percent of students procient in math and reading by 2014, but states were allowed to establish how much schools must improve each year. Many states saved the biggest leaps for the nal years, anticipating the law would be changed. But it hasnt, and states like Idaho, Montana and South Dakota are fed up. They are preparing to reject the latest requirements for determining school progress under the 9-year-old law even if the move toward noncompliance may put them at risk of losing some federal funding. Idaho will no longer raise the benchmarks that public schools have to meet under No Child Left Behind, nor will it punish the schools that do not meet
BRUSSELS Eurozone leaders on Thursday agreed to a sweeping deal that will grant Greece a massive new bailout but likely make it the rst euro country to default and radically reshape the currency unions rescue fund, allowing it to act pre-emptively when crises build up. The deal resolves a political deadlock between Europes top economic authorities over how to save Greece that had investors worried the debt crisis would spin out of control. Faced with the danger of big economies like Italy becoming unstable, the officials sought to outdo expectations at an emergency meeting in Brussels. The eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund will give Greece a second bailout worth (euro) 109 billion ($155 billion), on top of the (euro) 110 billion granted a year ago. Banks and other private investors
will contribute some (euro) 50 billion ($71 billion) to the rescue package until 2014 by either rolling over Greek bonds that they hold, swapping them for new ones with lower interest rates or selling the bonds back to Greece at a low price. For the rst time since the beginning of this crisis, we can say that the politics and the markets are coming together, said European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso. Initial reaction from markets and analysts to Thursdays deal was cautiously positive. The euro, which had rallied sharply on expectation of the deal, rose further to gain 1.2 percent against the dollar. The summit conclusions surprise by their size and range, Marie Diron, senior economic adviser to the Ernst & Young, said in a note. The measures imply significant private sector involvement and very large further support from the EU. All politically acceptable measures are being used.

And what can we do with a sweet potato thats never been done? What can we extract from it? All this is shown with no narration whatsoever. This is very hard work, and I wanted people to see that, says Wetzel. And so he didnt shy away from the difcult moments, including one where chef Adria berates his team for having lost some data on a bad hard drive. The team protests that they still have lists on paper. I dont want it on paper, I want it on the com-
puter! Adria retorts. This is a disaster. At another point, he rejects a dish curtly: Dont give me anything thats not good. There are also some unintentionally very funny moments, like when the two chefs go to the local market and ask for ve single grapes for their testing and three beans. You get away with everything, remarks the merchant. At another market visit later on, they ask the merchant not to discard the tongue of a sh. Anything might be fodder for a new creation, after all. Wetzel notes how Adrias team also works with the cartilage of a calf shoulder something others would surely throw away. For them, the way they work, this cartilage has value equal to caviar, he says.
After the lm has spent a good hour showing painstaking lab work Rachael Rays cooking show, this is not the action shifts to the coast, and opening day of the new season. We see an army of new workers, some of them interns, who have come from all corners of the world to work with these Spanish masters. And as the staff revs up for the incoming crowd, Adria and his lieutenants are still rening, experimenting, tasting. Adria sits down for a rehearsal of new dishes. The tension is almost unbearable as he tastes one, then says nothing for many seconds. We also see the birth of a new, typically elBulli dish: A silky cocktail of hazelnut oil, water and two crystals of salt. Testing such a
cocktail at one table, a server comes back in a panic: Fizzy water has mistakenly been used, instead of still water. The chefs consult. Maybe they should keep it zzy? Maybe that will make it even more interesting! During three years of overall work on the lm, there was one thing Wetzel and his team never did: Taste the famous food they were documenting. But once shooting was complete, they nally got a table. To spend ve hours doing nothing but thinking and talking about food it was an experience, he says. And a relief, too. After all that time and work, I was just so glad that it was really, really good, he says.

What sets blues apart from other music styles is that it is so soulful and goes straight to your heart, Welch said. The lyrics are artful and the poetry is traditional. Stories are usually told of love relationships gone right or gone bad. Welch believes the musical element of blues is always changing and constantly evolving. While many other blues musicians revere classical arrangements, Blue Cadillac is more interpretive on the way they play their songs. The secret to our songs and rhythms are our arrangement of beats, Welch said. Our style has lot of zip and energy to it. Redwood Citys festival dedicated to blues history and culture is a great American art form, Welch said. Attendees are more likely to value the experience by perpetuating and sharing the music. They create memories of what they love and those memories shine through them, he added. Our music is a celebration of being alive, Welch said. We hope that by playing our music, we can spread a little joy and make life a little happier. The sixth annual Redwood City PAL Blues, Arts and Bar-B-Que Festival will be held at Courthouse Square in downtown Redwood City 6 p.m.-8 p.m. July 22 with Earl Thomas & The Blues Ambassadors and 11 a.m.-8 p.m. July 23 with Blues Cadillac, John Le Conqueroo, Tip of the Top, Ron Hacker, Rusty Zinns Roots Reggae Band, Mark Hummel with Nathan James, Alabama Mike and 3rd Degree and Johnny Rawls at the end of the night.

Ramirez was arrested after his parole ofcer spotted tattoos on his neck that matched witness descriptions of Stows attackers. Detectives at the Los Angeles Police Departments northeast division handled the initial probe that led to Ramirezs arrest. After prosecutors declined to le a case against Ramirez, detectives at the LAPDs prestigious robbery-homicide division took the investigation over and started again from scratch. Robbery homicide detectives re-interviewed all of the witnesses in the case, which initially was based purely on eyewitness statements that were not corroborated with forensic evidence.

In recent months, the board has discussed four sites during closed session meetings with values ranging from $2.2 million to $20.6 million.

The San Bruno Park Elementary School District is seeking a $40 million bond for facility upgrades. On Monday, the Millbrae Elementary School District Board of Trustees will seek a bond measure for $30 million.

BLUES
Continued from page 1
Blue Cadillac is a Bay Area blues-rock dance band with jazz inuence of the classic 1950s and 60s Delta and Chicago-style blues idioms. The local band is reminiscent of the 1960s English band John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers and is also compared to the legends of Eric Clapton, Peter Green and B.B. King. Members include Welch on slide guitar and vocals, Alan Eye Bone Eglington on harmonica and vocals, Tim Hitman Richard on drums, Doug Mancini on bass and Sammy Varela on guitar. Their upbeat and powerful sound will be heard at Redwood Citys 6th Annual PAL Blues Festival 11 a.m. July 23. The free event will showcase blues musicians of the Bay Area in support of the Police Activities League, a nonprot, community-based organization that helps kids stay out of trouble by being proactive in after-school activities. Were not a band on stage, were a band and audience on stage, Welch said. When people respond to our music, they cant help but to tap their feet and want to dance. Playing more than 50 sets of songs on the Peninsula, Blue Cadillac denes themselves as a one-band entertainment with members talents equally shared. The rst time Welch heard the basic 12-bar blues format, he became an absolute fan. The blues has a real strong, smooth emotional component that draws you into the beats, he said.

dollars in tax seemed a much more palatable alternative, she said. Increased enrollment and a desire to offer neighborhood schools to families brought on the districts search for a home of a yet-to-bebuilt fourth Foster City elementary school.

In a January poll of Foster City voters, 60 percent supported at tax rate of $19 per the $100,000 of a propertys assessed value. Support increased to 64 percent when the rate dropped to $14.

Conditions tend to look more hopeful for you in the year ahead than they have for quite some time. In fact, you could start to enjoy some victories and advancement in the very areas where you previously experienced disappointment.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Something material that starts out to be rather small could quickly transform itself into being enormous. This might involve a purchase or an investment of some kind that you make. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Something over which you
have no control could turn out to be much better than you dared hope. Do what you can to make the most of it, the moment you hear about it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Lady Luck must like you, because shes arranging for you to take part in something that is pretty special. Its an arrangement that is already producing positive results. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Dont hesitate to join any type of collective endeavor, whether its just getting involved with friends for an outing or investing in a joint undertaking. Youll be fortunate in such activities. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Act immediately on any bright ideas you get regarding ways to further your ambitions and aspirations. Your perceptions will be worthy of prompt and pervasive action.
what the odds are, think win on your participation in a competitive involvement. It doesnt matter if what you are doing is a sport, a romance or a business deal. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Dont hesitate to move things around a bit if you think it would help better your lot in life. Any changes you make at this time could have excellent, far-reaching results. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Because your thoughts are likely to be focused on what you can do to please others, companions will find you a most delightful person to be around and do things with. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It pays to be observant about economic and/or career opportunities. Some-
thing quite substantial could come out of a participation in one or both of these areas. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Dont hesitate to speak up and suggest something fun to do over the weekend. Chances are your ideas will be better than most, and will be ones that everyone would enjoy doing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Normally most financial tips you get arent that spectacular, but someone might share some information with you that few are privy to. At the least, its worthy of investigation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It isnt unusual for you to sometimes enjoy involvements that are more verbal than physical, so getting together with friends for a long-winded chat could be just the ticket.
