LEBRON GETS HIS TITLE AT LAST
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A coastal ower operation has
learned that polluting the environment
can have a heavy price tag.
Half Moon Bay Orchids will pay
$139,000 in civil penalties for its part
in releasing red dye diesel into sur-
rounding creeks and ocean and for
altering and disturbing sensitive creek
beds without attaining the proper envi-
ronmental permits, according to the
San Mateo County District Attorneys
Ofce.
The stipulated judgment against
Challenge Horticulture, which does
business under the name Half Moon
Bay Orchids, is for violations to envi-
ronmental law in 2009 and 2010, one
of which was observed by a California
Department of Fish and Game war-
den.
The stipulated judgment, which
both parties negotiated and agreed to,
was entered without admission of
wrongdoing.
The judgment, negotiated by the
Consumer and Environmental Unit of
the District Attorneys Ofce, requires
full compliance with applicable envi-
ronmental protection and workplace
safety laws and regulations; and the
payment of $139,000 in civil penalties
and reimbursement of enforcement
and emergency response costs.
It was not a fair outcome, said
Robert Wong, the companys attorney.
The allegations in the complaint were
not anywhere near what happened. We
did settle, basically, to get the issue
behind us.
The company owns and operates a
commercial ower growing business
on Frenchmans Creek Road.
The civil complaint alleged two sep-
arate violations.
The rst violation was observed on
Nov. 9, 2009 by a California
Department of Fish and Game war-
den, who saw Challenge Horticulture,
Inc. employees altering and disturbing
the bed and bank of a portion of

A civil rights lawsuit and growing
public discussion about the countys
current system of electing its super-

Supervisors to consider placing a

Adrienne Tissier, president of the

discussion in light of recent public
sentiment about the current system

Every Saturday, the Bay Area Dragons racing team
can be seen gliding on the water as each person of the
20-member boat pulls a paddle in complete unison.
Both an incredible display of teamwork and personal
determination, dragon boat racing is a sport that the Bay
Area Dragons (BAD) dragon boat racing team hopes to
introduce to the community June 24 at its Foster City
Dragon Boat Race.
The race at Leo J. Ryan Park is open to the public
mainly to spark interest and allow people to try dragon
boat racing rsthand. Lion dancing will also be show-
cased at the race. The race is more of an invitation to the
sport than a competition, said Angela Toy, a beginner
coach with BAD who instructs new racers.
It is a novice race and an attempt to share the sport,
said Toy. We welcome all types of people.
Dragon boat racing is a type of racing that originated in
China and has been growing in the Bay Area through
BAD and the creation of high school and college teams.
The second biggest holiday on the Chinese calendar is
Dragon Boat Festival Day, said Alvin Wang, the president

At least $380K raised
for bullied NY bus monitor
A video of a 68-year-old school bus mon-
itor being mercilessly taunted by seventh
graders became a rallying point against bul-
lies Thursday, with a fund for the New York
state grandmother raising at least $380,000
and a deluge of people demanding harsh
punishment for the boys.
Police said Karen Klein does not want
her young tormenters to face criminal
charges, partly because of the storm of crit-
icism leveled at the boys from the
Rochester suburb of Greece after the video
went viral.
Theyve received death threats, Greece
Police Capt. Steve Chatterton said
Thursday. Their families have been threat-
ened. We have custody of one of their cell-
phones, and he had over 1,000 missed calls
and 1,000 text messages threatening him.
And hes 13 years old. That must stop.
The verbal abuse was captured in a 10-
minute cellphone video recorded Monday
by a student of Athena Middle School in
suburban Rochester and later posted to
YouTube. The video shows Klein trying her
best to ignore the stream of profanity,
insults and outright threats directed at her.
One student taunted: You dont have a
family because they all killed themselves
because they dont want to be near you.
Kleins oldest son killed himself 10 years
ago.
Eventually, she appears to break down in
tears.
You want to jump into that bus and you
want to grab those kids and say Knock it
off! And you want to hold her, said Amy
Weber, a 43-year-old independent lmmak-
er from the Detroit area who pledged $100
Thursday through the international crowd-
funding site Indiegogo.com.
Alaska man climbs tree,
but gets stuck upside down
FAIRBANKS, Alaska An Alaska
man had to be rescued after he climbed
a tree for exercise but got stuck upside
down by one leg.
Fairbanks reghters had to use a lad-
der truck to reach the 53-year-old man,
who was dangling nearly 30 feet off the
ground. He was uninjured.
Assistant Fire Chief Ernie Misewicz
told The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner
in an email that the man decided to
climb the tree because it was something
he wanted to do.
He said the man had spikes and a belt
around his stomach, and that he lost his
grip and fell backward. The belt slipped
below his waist, ipping him over.
Authorities were alerted by a friend,
whom the man called from a cellphone
attached to a lanyard around his neck.
Study: So Cal could
see record scorchers
LOS ANGELES A new study says
Southern California is heating up and
could see a record number of scorching
days by mid-century.
UCLAs climate study, released
Thursday, says the region probably will
be warmer by 3 to 5 degrees in the years
2041 to 2060 but different areas will see
different impacts.
The number of days where the tem-
perature tops 95 degrees could triple in
downtown Los Angeles and jump ve-
fold in the deserts.
UCLA researchers say the computer
modeling examines neighborhoods and
is 2,500 times more precise than previ-
ous regional climate models. However,
they acknowledge a lot of uncertainty
remains and the temperature rise could
be far less or greater.
Man convicted in 1976
bus kidnap released
CHOWCHILLA One of three men
who kidnapped a busload of California
school children has been released from
prison after more than 35 years behind
bars.
State prison ofcials said Thursday
that Richard Allen Schoenfeld was
released on parole to an undisclosed
location late Wednesday. He will be
monitored 24 hours a day with a GPS
device.
An appeals court ordered his release
earlier this year, ruling that the Board of
Parole Hearings unfairly set his parole
date for 2021 even though it concluded
he wasnt a threat to society.

A man who fatally shot a mother of three
more than 30 years ago to eliminate the only
witness to his robbery of a Redwood City
candy store was granted parole at his 20th
hearing.
William Rucker, 56, has been in prison
since 1977 when he was convicted of rst-
degree murder and robbery in the holdup of
Sees Candy on Broadway and the shooting of
Bonnie Baumann. At a hearing held at
California State Prison, Solano, the parole
board gave Rucker a shot at freedom for the
rst time in the two decades hes been eligible
for release.
In a separate hearing at the same prison, the
parole board also granted release to Abel Leo
Sapp, 44, who came up for the second time
since being imprisoned for the rst-degree
murder of a Foster City woman. On July 10,
1990, Sapp, then a transient, confronted the
woman in her home and stabbed her to death.
A motive was never determined at trial and
after being convicted in 1991 was sentenced
to 26 years to life in prison. He last came up
for review in 2007 and, after reacting angrily
throughout the hearing, was denied for ve
years.
At this hearing, Sapp told parole commis-
sioners the victim was the roommate of a
woman with whom hed spent the weekend.
Sapp said the two watched television together
and chatted but he grew angry when she twice
used the phrase thats so gay because of his
own repressed feelings. His story now is he
struck her in the head, dragged her into the
bathroom where he slit her throat, then n-
ished the job by suffocating her with his
hands, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Both grants of parole must still be reviewed
by the Board of Parole Hearings and Gov.
Jerry Brown before becoming ofcial.
Authorities have said Rucker has expressed
remorse for his crimes and has had few prob-
lems while incarcerated. He also trained as an
electrician and runs substance abuse programs
in the prison.
However, Wagstaffe said his ofce opposed
parole for both men and Rucker, in particular,
needs to stay behind bars.
Late on the afternoon of Aug. 1, 1976,
Rucker robbed the former Sees Candy store
on Broadway in Redwood City. Rucker delib-
erately shot Baumann, a 55-year-old mother
of three teenage girls, to eliminate the only
witness to the robbery. Baumann was working
in the store when Rucker came with a rie and
robbed the cash register of $69. He shot her
multiple times.
Following a police chase, Rucker was
caught by former San Carlos police Ofcer
Stephen Hall, now a San Mateo County
Superior Court judge. Rucker claimed he has
no memory of the crime due to alcohol and
drugs. However, in 1977, a jury convicted him
of rst-degree murder and robbery. The ver-
dict was reversed by the California Supreme
Court because prosecutors used Ruckers
answers to booking questions to show that he
was lucid and not intoxicated. They also used
his driving pattern during the police chase.
Rucker, though, had invoked his right for an
attorney before answering, making the infor-
mation inadmissible in court.
A second jury then came to the same guilty
conclusion in 1980 and Rucker was sentenced
to life in prison. The case was not eligible for
the death penalty because it had been declared
unconstitutional by 1976. Had capital punish-
ment been an option, Wagstaffe said the ofce
almost certainly would have considered it for
Rucker.

Candy store killer closer to release after hearing
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
An Oakland couple accused of trying to pry
their way into a Hillsborough home after
dropping their child off at day care pleaded no
contest yesterday to their respective charges.
Maurice Hayes, 26, was immediately sen-
tenced to four years in prison for residential
burglary and Janey Ann Jackson, 23, received
four months county jail for attempted residen-
tial burglary. They return to court July 27 for a
restitution hearing.
The pair was arrested April 11 after
Hillsborough police responded to a call to the
500 block of Pullman Road in which a man
was reported to be in the backyard and a
woman was knocking on the front door. The
67-year-old homeowner said he saw the
woman through the window as she knocked
for ve minutes but he didnt answer the door.
Meanwhile, a man later identied as Hayes
allegedly pried his way into the home with a
screwdriver. The homeowner yelled he was on
the phone with 911 and the intruder ed.
The couple drove down Skyline Boulevard
and witnesses saw Hayes toss a screwdriver
that later matched up with the pry marks on
the Hillsborough home, District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe said.
Police arrested the couple during a trafc
stop. Authorities reported Jacksons cellphone
contained text messages from Hayes detailing
plans for the burglary and instructions to ask
for directions if somebody opened the door.
They also say the couple dropped off their
young child at day care before heading over to
Hillsborough.

Businesses caught
selling alcohol to minors
A Hooters restaurant in San Bruno and a
Mollie Stones grocery store in Burlingame
and were among 17 businesses in northern
San Mateo County that sold alcohol to minors
in a decoy sting operation last week.
Minors working with law enforcement of-
cials went into liquor stores and restaurants in
San Bruno, Colma, Daly City, Pacica, South
San Francisco and Brisbane and attempted to
buy alcohol.
In each business where alcohol was sold to
the minor, the employee faces criminal prose-
cution, and the business could be ned or have
its license to sell alcohol revoked by the state
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
Three businesses in San Bruno furnished
alcohol to minors: Walgreens, Hooters and
Speedy Spot convenience store, according to
police.
Chipotle restaurant and Sizzler, both in
Colma, were also caught in the decoy opera-
tion.
In Daly City, six businesses were caught:
Hard Hats Bistro, The Jug Shop, New Daly
City Market, Plaza Liquor and Deli, Verona
Coffee Market, and DC Liquor and Deli.
In South San Francisco, J&J Market and
Jailhouse Liquor and Deli were caught, as
well as four businesses in Burlingame
Mollie Stones, Luckys, Youngs Liquor and
R&M Broadway 76.

A dead bird collected in Woodside tested
positive for West Nile virus, the countys
rst conrmed case this year which a mos-
quito expert said may have come earlier
this season because of the warm weather.
A Woodside resident reported the dead
hawk June 11 and the San Mateo County
Mosquito and Vector Control District
announced yesterday it was infected with
the virus. Technicians are now setting mos-
quito traps in the area to determine if the
infected bird is an isolated incident or
indicative of a wider infection circulating
in the environment, said Angie Nakano,
vector ecologist and acting laboratory
director.
We dont take it as a cause for alarm but
it is a reminder for residents to protect
themselves, Nakano said.
Nakano said San Mateo County is pretty
lucky to not have had the infection clusters
of other counties. Between 2004 and 2011,
the county has recovered 38 dead birds and
12 squirrels that tested positive. The virus
has been conrmed in 16 California coun-
ties.
The virus cant be spread person to per-
son or from the dead bird to a human.
However, humans can contract the virus
through the bite of an infected mosquito.
The chance that any one person is going
to become ill from a single mosquito bite
remains low, according to the Centers for
Disease Control. The risk of severe illness
and death is highest for people over 50
years old although people of all ages can
fall ill.
San Mateo County has had no docu-
mented cases of humans infected since
2005, said Health System spokeswoman
Robyn Thaw.
The virus is present at a low level year
round but denitely peaks in summer,
Nakano said.
The mosquitoes breed faster and the
virus itself replicates faster in warm weath-
er, Nakano said.
Typically, the county would see inci-
dents later in the year but Nakano said the
recent spurt of extra warm weather may
have played a role.
To prevent mosquito bites and breeding,
the district reminds the public to remember
the Three Ds drain standing water
because that is where mosquitoes lay eggs;
wear proper clothing and repellent during
dawn and dusk when mosquitoes bite; and
apply insect repellent containing DEET,
picaradin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or
IR3535.
The mosquito district asks people to
report dead birds or tree squirrels to the
West Nile hotline at www.westnile.ca.gov
or calling 877-WNV-BIRD (877-968-
2473). More information on the virus is
available at www.smcmad.org and mos-
quito problems specic to San Mateo
County can be reported to the district at
344-8592.

A 30-year-old Hayward man authorities say nabbed more than
$20,000 in jewelry from a Redwood City home in February faces
up to 34 years in prison after pleading no contest to felony counts
of residential burglary and possessing stolen property.
Nghia Quoc Nguyen also admitted have prior strikes and took
the plea deal without any sentencing condi-
tions. He declined an earlier 14-year offer
but changed his plea three days into trial.
Nguyen returns to court Aug. 3 for sentenc-
ing.
Meanwhile, an unknown accomplice
remains at large.
Redwood City police were called to the
400 block of Tiller Lane on Feb. 10 after
neighbors saw Nguyen and the man enter-
ing the home. They texted the victim at
work who immediately started driving back
home. The neighbors snapped a photo of the gray BMW the men
left in and the license plate led back to the Hayward address of
Nguyens mother.
Authorities say Nguyen and the man entered the house through
the garage and took more than $20,000 in jewelry from a drawer
in an upstairs bedroom. The victim also reported losing an enve-
lope lled with cash she had received from her mother for Chinese
New Year.
Nguyen remains in custody in lieu of $500,000 bail.

Man in electric
wheelchair killed by train
A man in an electric wheelchair was
struck and killed by a train on the Caltrain
tracks in San Mateo just before 5 p.m. yes-
terday delaying commute trains through
the evening, a Caltrain spokeswoman said.
The man was hit by southbound train
No. 264 at Fifth Avenue in San Mateo. He
had attempted to go around the lowered
gates, spokeswoman Christine Dunn said.
This is the 10th death on the Caltrain
tracks this year. There were 16 fatalities on
the tracks last year. Caltrain is trying to
address the issue with safety awareness
programs, crisis hotline signage near tracks
throughout the corridor and participation in
fundraisers.

Millbrae is planning for a tight but balanced
scal year in 2012-13 during which a number
of projects will start and a long-awaited over-
hauled hotel will open, Mayor Marge
Colapietro said during the State of the City
speech Thursday evening.
Colapietro spoke before the Chamber of
Commerce and discussed the citys nancial
future, continued support of green efforts and
unfunded infrastructure needs.
Critically needed repairs like aging streets,
storm drains and city facilities are not funded.
More teamwork is necessary to thrive in future
years, she said.
Next years budget, while still being nal-
ized, is a projected $18.6 million with a $2.7
million in reserves to allow the city to meet a
self-imposed 15 percent reserve.
This is a major accomplishment that we
have been unable to attain in recent years, said
Colapietro, who commended current and past
city leaders for working together to make this
possible.
Creating a stable nancial situation was also
made possible thanks to the passing of the
2009 re assessment, which generates $1.4
million annually to the citys general fund. A
detailed look at a ve-year scal plan will go
before the council and Colapietro applauded
city staff for making do in recent lean years.
Continuing to seek out operational efcien-
cies, such as shared services, will remain a
focus for the city.
Contracting police services through the
county, for example, went into effect in March.
In the coming year, the move is estimated to
save the city $1.6 million a number that will
increase in the following years, she said.
Millbrae is also part of a multi-city exploration
of consolidating re services.
Last summer, Millbrae, San Bruno,
Burlingame and Hillsborough gave the go-
ahead to continue exploring shared administra-
tive services. One of the rst steps was creating
a temporary station, which is expected to open
this summer. Under the proposal, stations on
Hillside Drive in Burlingame and Crestview
Drive in Millbrae would be closed. A new sta-
tion would then be placed somewhere within
the three-mile distance between the two sta-
tions. The temporary station would run for
about a year which would allow staff to collect
data to be shared with the city councils in May
2013, at which point further consolidation
could be considered. Millbrae Fire Chief
Dennis Haag, who also oversaw San Bruno,
recently retired and Central County Fire Chief
Don Dornell, who oversees Burlingame and
Hillsborough, took over the additional two
cities.
In terms of economic development, Millbrae
will have some large projects under way in the
coming year.
Groundbreaking for a new Safeway took
place last week. Once open in mid-2013, the
new store will be two-thirds larger, featuring
more amenities and offering additional jobs,
Colapietro said.
The Clarion Hotel remodel is expected to be
completed this summer. Work on the Clarion
began in August. The two-phase redevelop-
ment plan starts with renovating and rebrand-
ing the Clarion as an Aloft Hotel. The Clarion
had six stories and 251 rooms with 20,000
square feet of meeting space and 520 parking
spaces. Aloft will have two more rooms. Since
the new hotel will be about the same size, the
proposal was found to be exempt from envi-
ronmental review. At a future, not yet set date,
phase two will include building a second
Element Hotel. Element will also be six stories
with 158 rooms. In total, the city will end up
with 411 hotel rooms an additional 160
rooms.
The citys $30 million overhaul of its waste-
water treatment plant is nearly complete. And,
later this month, construction is expected to
begin on a pedestrian-friendly light at El
Camino Real and Victoria Avenue.
Should high-speed rail move forward,
Millbrae stands to have a big economic gain.
The current station would be expanded for the
new services. Millbrae is seeking funds from
the High-Speed Rail Authority in hopes of
updating the economic development plan for
the area.
Site One is situated on land near the Millbrae
BART station, which ends at El Camino Real
to the west, by Victoria Avenue to the north, by
the extension of California Drive to the east
and by Millbrae Avenue to the south. Efforts to
develop the site began in 1996.
The proposed vision, which was last visited
in early 2006, is dubbed the Millbrae Station
Pavilion, a six-story, mixed-used development
covering about eight acres of land. Thus far, the
city has approached the project as one large
project.
In addition to construction that will generate
sales tax, the city also has projects in the works
to increase options for affordable and transit-
oriented development.
Millbrae also maintains its tradition of sup-
porting green efforts. In the past year, the city
has upgraded lighting to cut down on energy
use.
Also, single-use bags will become a thing of
the past Sept. 1 when the citys new ban goes
into effect. Free reusable bags are being offered
to residents at City Hall while supplies last.
State of the city: Millbrae on the move
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The four-alarm re at San Franciscos Pier 29
on Wednesday afternoon caused nearly $2.4
million in damage, a re department spokes-
woman said Thursday.
The blaze was reported at about 1:50 p.m. at
the two-story waterfront building located at the
intersection of The Embarcadero, Sansome and
Chestnut streets. The building was vacant and
under construction in preparation for the
Americas Cup sailing race in 2013.
Fireghters spent more than two hours attack-
ing the re from several angles, including from
a reboat on the Bay, before extinguishing the
ames at 3:59 p.m., re ofcials said.
The cause of the blaze had not been deter-
mined as of yesterday morning, but a re inves-
tigator has estimated the damage to the structure
at $2.37 million, re spokeswoman Mindy
Talmadge said.
The building is slated to house the operations
staging area for the Americas Cup regatta,
according to Monique Moyer, executive director
of the Port of San Francisco.
Talmadge said the re investigator was unable
to fully examine the building on Wednesday
night because it had not been deemed structural-
ly sound, but that investigators would try to
determine the cause yesterday.
Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said
Wednesday that a preliminary investigation indi-
cated that construction workers may have been
in the building prior to the re, but it was too
early to determine whether any construction
work sparked the blaze.

OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY 1-4PM
and founder of Bay Area Dragons. Wang creat-
ed the organization in 1996 when he moved to
the Bay Area from Canada. It is open to
teenagers and adults who want to learn more
about what it takes to become a paddler.
BAD welcomes all paddlers regardless of
ability, Wang said in an email.
Louise Chu started out in BAD as a begin-
ner paddler after going to a Saturday practice
and is now the coach of her very own team,
the Chu Crew.
About ve years ago, I stopped by one
Saturday just to watch and was coaxed into
giving it a try, Chu said in an email. The
coaches were very friendly and encouraging,
so that made it less intimidating.
Chu now says that she loves the sport for
both its exercise and competition and the peo-
ple you meet along the way.
This sport requires that everyone works
together. You meet some wonderful people and
this develops into great friendships, she said.
Dragon boat racing requires practicing pad-
dling technique and teamwork, said Toy, who
has been with BAD since 2002. A boat has 22
members, with one person in the back steering
and the coach at the front who plays a drum to
unite the paddlers. With 10 paddlers on each
side of the boat, they must paddle together to
propel the boat in a sprint to the nish line.
Toy stands at the top of beginner boats to
demonstrate the basics on paddling and keep-
ing in count with the movement of the boat.
She termed the balance between coordination
and power as controlled aggression.
At practice, the paddlers learn to under-
stand how to synchronize and build up stami-
na she said.
It is a difcult task, as many new beginners
splash and hit others paddles as they struggle
to coordinate their own stroke with the pad-
dler in front and behind.
Wang is helping to organize the upcoming
race and said it has been held in Foster City
intermittently since 1996. While its goal this
year is to encourage beginners to try it out,
Wang said that races before have beneted
cancer charities. Toy remembered when BAD
held a Paddle for Life event that raised money
for cancer with participation by corporate
company teams in the Bay Area.
BAD currently has about 80 members who
race in competitions that Wang said has taken
their team around the world to Italy, Malaysia
and Canada. The teams are organized depend-
ing on who is available for each race, which
include mixed teams, womens, masters or
youth. For the Foster City race, Toy said mem-
bers will be helping out on the beginner boats
with the steering and drumming positions.
Toy said that their members come from many
places, from San Jose to San Francisco. New
racers are welcomed at free daily Saturday prac-
tices held at the Foster City Boat Park.
Jeff Bowen is a part-time member who
comes to paddle at the Saturday practices. He
does it mostly for fun and exercise and partic-
ipates in fun races as a member of the Chu
Crew. This fun team is perfect for those
who cannot go to every weekend practice, but
still want to be part of a team, Chu said.
Bowen said his team is practicing as much
as they can before the Foster City race. As for
the full-time members, he is amazed by the
work and dedication they put into the sport.
I have so much respect for these guys. I'm
pretty sure any of these guys could run a
marathon, said Bowen.
Along with the June 24 race, Chu encour-
ages beginners to come out to try it whenever
they can during the Saturday morning prac-
tices that are held every week, rain or shine.
I encourage people to give it a try, she said.
You have nothing to lose, everything to gain.

A man accused separately of stabbing his
girlfriends ex-boyfriend in the head with an
ice pick and, while out on bail, leading a
Pacica police ofcer on a high-speed chase
that ended with gunfire was sentenced
Thursday to nearly a decade in prison.
Arthur John Armstrong, 37, pleaded no
contest to felony assault with great bodily
injury in the November 2010 attack at a
Pacica beach and felony counts of evading
and recklessly discharging a rearm in the
police chase last month. On Thursday, Judge
Cliff Cretan imposed nine years and four
months in prison for the two cases combined.
Armstrong has credit of 220 days earned
against the term.
After taking the negoti-
ated settlement earlier this
year, Armstrongs attorney
Mara Feiger said he
agreed to the deal to will-
ingly accept responsibili-
ty.
Armstrong was original-
ly charged with attempted
murder in the Nov. 15,
2010 stabbing of a 39-
year-old man. Armstrong and the victim met
up after they separately headed to the same
beach area near the pier to drink with their
respective girlfriends. Armstrongs ex-girl-
friend is now dating the victim.
The victim told police the couples
exchanged insults before Armstrong threw a
lit recracker in their direction. When the vic-
tim asked what he was doing, he said
Armstrong approached and began punching
him while the ex-girlfriend assaulted the cur-
rent girlfriend. After Armstrong and his girl-
friend left, the victim realized he was bleed-
ing and called for help just before 10 p.m. He
gave a statement to police before passing out
and medics discovered he had a slash to his
knee and blood from his ear. An ice pick was
discovered in nearby bushes. The ice pick
went through his ear canal and touched his
brain which caused severe swelling.
According to Feiger, the case had many fac-
tual issues that could be questioned including
who began the altercation and whether the
victim ever claimed Armstrong stabbed him.
While Armstrong was out on $100,000 bail,
authorities linked him through circumstantial
evidence to an early-morning March 23 inci-
dent in which a Pacica police ofcer gave
chase to a gray Ford Mustang speeding east
on Linda Mar Boulevard at approximately 80
mph. The car sped up further on Alicante
Drive and collided with a parked car on
Capistrano Drive. The driver ed on foot into
a backyard and the ofcer later reported hear-
ing two gunshots as he approached. The car
was found to be an unreported stolen vehicle,
according to Pacica police, and two days
later a gun was found two houses down from
where the suspect ed.

STATE 7
LOS ANGELES Gov. Jerry
Brown is dropping his attempt to
shield Californias high-speed rail
project from possible environmental
challenges at least for now.
State lawmakers and environmen-
tal groups have been told the gover-
nor wont pursue legislation his
ofce had begun circulating earlier
this month, several media outlets
reported Thursday. That legislation
would have blocked judges from
issuing work-stopping injunctions in
many environmental lawsuits.
It could have affected lawsuits
led by Central Valley farm groups,
who argue that
the proposed
$68 billion proj-
ect could harm
a g r i c u l t u r a l
areas.
B r o w n
dropped his
effort in the face
of opposition
from environ-
mental groups, but those groups say
he could revive the plan later.
Browns decision comes as legis-
lators prepare to consider appropri-
ating $6 billion to begin construction
of the rail system as early as
December.
Sierra Club California director
Kathryn Phillips told the Los
Angeles Times that Browns deci-
sion means her organization could
now support the appropriation, as it
did the original bond proposal
approved by voters in 2008. She said
high-speed rail is the sort of major
project that the states environmental
laws were designed to review.
A Brown adviser sent an email
Wednesday to environmentalists and
transportation advocates, saying that
the administration would drop the
attempt, but that it could try again
later, Phillips told The Sacramento
Bee.
So I feel like I can sleep well
tonight, and there will be another
day when we will have to struggle
with how we can ensure that we pro-
tect environmental quality, Phillips
told the Bee.
Gil Duran, a spokesman for the
governor, declined comment
Thursday.
Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto,
told the Times there was not much
support in the Legislature for limit-
ing environmental challenges.
California High-Speed Rail
Authority chairman Dan Richard
had raised the possibility of giving
the project some immunity from
injunctions in his comments to a
Senate committee. Brown followed
by advancing legislation that would
make it more difcult to win court
orders stopping work on the project.
The proposed legislation would
have made the restrictions retroac-
tive to Jan. 1, 2012, potentially lim-
iting a lawsuit led by farm bureaus
in several Central Valley counties.
The suit argues that there was an
inadequate environmental review of
the plan to build high-speed rail
between Merced and Fresno.
Also Thursday, Richard released a
video address on YouTube describ-
ing the project as a way to not only
bring high-speed trains to
California, but to improve tradition-
al mass transit in urban areas.
Brown wont block bullet train environment suits
Jerry Brown
By Don Thompson
SACRAMENTO California newspaper
publishers objected Thursday to a bill sent to
Gov. Jerry Brown that would let the states
transportation department post legal notices
on its own website instead of in newspapers
and trade journals.
Jim Ewert, general counsel for the
California Newspaper Publishers Association,
said the timing is suspicious because the
department has been in a dispute with The
Sacramento Bee over articles raising ques-
tions about the construction of the East Span
of the Bay Bridge between Oakland and San
Francisco.
Posting notices only on the Internet would
make it more difcult for the public and the
media to track major projects and to hold the
California Department of Transportation
accountable, he said.
Its curious that this happened just on the
heels of that investigation, Ewert said. Its
tantamount to the fox guarding the henhouse,
because the public will not be notied of any
of these projects any longer.
Though the notices would be available
online, Ewert said few people would be likely
to see them.
The newspaper industry has a nancial
interest in seeing the paid advertising contin-
ue.
Caltrans Assistant Director Tamie
McGowen said in an email to The Associated
Press that the proposal would save taxpayers
$700,000 a year. She says the proposal was
rst sent to legislative budget committees in
February, before the departments dispute
with the Bee.
Gil Duran, a spokesman for Brown,
declined to comment.
The measure is in a budget bill approved
last week and awaiting Browns signature.
The publishers objections came the same
day as Brown and legislative leaders
announced they had reached an agreement on
remaining budget issues, with final votes
expected in the Legislature next week.
Lawmakers passed a $92 billion budget June
15, but several companion bills must still pass
before the states spending plan can take
effect.

Likely probe at San Onofre plant
LOS ANGELES California utility regu-
lators have signaled they will launch an inves-
tigation later this year into the troubled San
Onofre nuclear power plant.
The twin-reactor plant between Los Angeles
and San Diego has been shut down for nearly
ve months after a break in a tube that carries
radioactive water. Investigators later found
unusual wear on hundreds of tubes running
through the plants steam generators.
Around the state
By Hannah Dreier
SACRAMENTO Some Californians who
lost parents or spouses in the Sept. 11 attacks
were unaware of a scholarship program funded
by fees from a specialty memorial license plate,
while millions of dollars from the plates went to
plug the states persistent budget decits.
An aspiring lawyer and an unemployed single
mother are among those who say they would
have signed up to receive a $5,000 scholarship
had they known the program existed.
Other parents say they were told their chil-
dren did not qualify for the funds, although they
appear to have met the criteria.
After the September 11 attacks, lawmakers in
California, where all four jetliners were bound
when they were hijacked, established a special
memorial plate emblazoned with the words,
We Will Never Forget.
The money raised through the sale of the
plates was to provide scholarships to the chil-
dren of California residents who perished in the
attacks and to help fund anti-terrorism efforts.
The Associated Press reported in May that
only $20,000 of the $15 million collected since
lawmakers approved the California Memorial
Scholarship Program has been paid out in
scholarships.
About three dozen California residents died
in the attacks and the state identied 42 people
who were eligible for the program.
Documents obtained from the State
Treasurers Ofce through a California Public
Records Act request show that only 16 individ-
uals from six families signed up by the 2005
deadline. Of these, four have used their scholar-
ships.
In the years since the program closed to new
applicants, Gov. Jerry Brown and his predeces-
sor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, borrowed $3 mil-
lion of memorial license plate money to help
plug the states budget decit.
Neither loan has been repaid.
Millions more raised by the plates have been
spent on budget items with little relation to
direct threats of terrorism, including livestock
diseases and workplace safety.
The Associated Press surveyed 23 people
who appear to have been eligible for the schol-
arship and found that 13 did not know about the
program and four were told they did not quali-
fy.
Kia Pavloff-Pecorelli, who was pregnant
when her husbands ight back to their Los
Angeles-area home was hijacked, said she
would have remembered hearing about the
scholarship. Now living near her parents in
Michigan, she struggles to pay for private
school and therapy for her 10 year-old son, who
has persistent fears of being orphaned, she said.
If you didnt sign up for it, it should just be
automatic, she said of the scholarship fund.
Its like you raised these funds, why are there
so many limitations?
The 2002 legislation that established the
memorial license plates specied that the state
would identify all persons who are eligible for
scholarships and notify them or, in the cases of
minors, their parents. Anne Gordon, a spokes-
woman for the California Victim Compensation
and Government Claims Board, said the agency
mailed Pavloff-Pecorelli a letter informing her
of the program.
In some cases, the claims board appears to
have sent letters to the parents of adult children
but not to the children themselves.
Neda Bolourchi, 45, said that had she known
about the scholarship she would have used the
money to complete law school, which she start-
ed attending shortly after her mother was killed
in the attacks.
Im sure my mom would have been really
happy if Id nished it. But because its so
expensive, Ive put my dreams on hold to pay
the bills, she said.
Gordon said the state sent two letters to
Bolourchis father, an Iranian immigrant who is
now 84. But Bolourchi would have had the state
contact her directly.
Families say they werent
told of 9/11 scholarship
If you didnt sign up for it, it
should just be automatic.

husband died during 9/11 attacks

WASHINGTON Fewer Americans
believe the economy is getting better and a
majority disapproves of how President Barack
Obama is handling it, according to a new
Associated Press-GfK poll.
Republican challenger Mitt Romney has
exploited those concerns and moved into a
virtually even position with the president.
Three months of declining job creation have
left the public increasingly glum, with only 3
out of 10 adults saying the country is headed
in the right direction. Five months before the
election, the economy remains Obamas top
liability.
Obama has lost the narrow lead he held just
a month ago among registered voters. In the
new poll, 47 percent say they will vote for the
president and 44 percent for Romney, a differ-
ence that is not statistically signicant. The
poll also shows that Romney has recovered
well from a bruising Republican primary, with
more of his supporters saying they are certain
to vote for him now.
Still, in a measure of Romneys own vulner-
abilities, even some voters who say they sup-
port Romney believe the president will still be
re-elected. Of all adults polled, 56 percent
believe Obama will win a second term.
With his Republican nomination now
ensured, Romney has succeeded in unifying
the party behind him and in maintaining a sin-
gular focus on making the election a referen-
dum on Obamas handling of the economy.
The poll is not good news for the president,
and it reects uctuations in the economy,
which has shown both strength and weakness
since it began to recover from the recent
recession. The new survey illustrates how an
ideologically divided
country and a stumbling
recovery have driven the
two men into a tight
match.
About half 49 percent
approve of how Obama
is handling his job as pres-
ident, dropping him below
the 50 percent mark he
was above in May.
Disapproval of Obama is
highest 55 percent
for his handling of the
economy. Still, registered
voters are split virtually
evenly on whether
Romney or Obama would
do a better job improving
it.
Im not going to vote
for Obama, said
Raymond Back, a 60-year-old manufacturing
plant manager from North Olmsted, Ohio, one
of the most competitive states in this election.
Its just the wrong thing to do. I dont know
what Romney is going to do, but this isnt the
right way.
Obamas overall 49 percent approval rating
is not unlike the approval ratings George W.
Bush faced in June 2004 during his re-election
campaign, when he and his Democratic chal-
lenger, John Kerry, were also locked in a dead
heat.
The polling numbers come as no surprise to
either camp. Both Romney and Obama advis-
ers have anticipated a close contest that will
be driven largely by economic conditions. The
Obama camp is busy trying to dene Romney,
hoping it is reaching more independents like
Doss Comer, 58, of Jacksonville, N.C., who
said he would vote for Obama again, despite
the lagging economy.
I think we are on the wrong track, he said.
Were not getting anywhere. Were not grow-
ing. The unemployment rate just spiked up
again. But, he added: I dont trust Romney
because of what hes doing. Hes telling his
business experience, that he was an investor in
business. ... I dont think he has the right back-
ground any more than Obama.
Besides weak job growth and still high
unemployment, Obama is at the mercy of
European countries struggling with a debt cri-
sis that has already sent ripples across the
Atlantic. At the same time, there are signs that
the housing industry may be on the mend.
U.S. builders started work on more single-
family homes in May and requested the most
permits to build homes and apartments in 3
1/2 years.
Poll: Obama, Romney even amid economic worries
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. Backing off
the harsh rhetoric of the Republican primaries,
Mitt Romney pledged Thursday to address illegal
immigration in a civil but resolute manner. He
outlined plans to overhaul the green card system
for immigrants with families, and end immigra-
tion caps for their spouses and minor children.
In a speech before Hispanic leaders, Romney
made only passing mention of his promise to
complete a 2,000-mile border fence to help stem
illegal immigration. Instead he attacked President
Barack Obamas new plan to ease deportation
rules for some illegal immigrants brought to the
United States as children as little more than a
stop-gap measure.
As President, I wont settle for a stop-gap
measure. I will work with Republicans and
Democrats to nd a long-term solution, Romney
told the National Association of Latino Elected
and Appointed Ofcials. I will prioritize meas-
ures that strengthen legal immigration and make
it easier. And I will address the problem of illegal
immigration in a civil but resolute manner. We
may not always agree, but when I make a prom-
ise to you, I will keep it.
Obama will speak to the same group Friday.
The speeches come as the Supreme Court pre-
pares to render judgment on a get-tough Arizona
law and after Obama announced his new depor-
tation plan.
Romney again refused to say whether he
would reverse Obamas policy, promising his
own long-term solution that will replace and
supersede the presidents temporary measure.
The former Massachusetts governor has strug-
gled in recent days to clarify his immigration pol-
icy as he pivots from the sharp tone that dened
the months-long GOP primary to a general elec-
tion audience in which Latinos will play a critical
role.

Romney: Immigration will
be handled in civil manner
WASHINGTON The Senate on Thursday
completed a ve-year, half-trillion-dollar farm
bill that cuts farm subsidies and land conserva-
tion spending by about $2 billion a year but
largely protects sugar growers and some 46 mil-
lion food stamp beneciaries.
The 64-35 vote for passage deed political
odds. Many inside and outside of Congress had
predicted that legislation so expensive and so
complicated would have little chance of advanc-
ing in an election year.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell
called it one of the nest moments in the Senate
in recent times in terms of how you pass a bill.
The bipartisanship seen in the Senate may be
less evident in the House, where conservatives
are certain to resist the bills costs, particularly
for food stamps. Food stamp spending has dou-
bled in the past ve years, and beneciaries have
grown from by about 20 million to 46 million.
The programs budget is now about $80 billion a
year, comprising 80 percent of the spending in
the farm bill.
Farm bills traditionally have been bipartisan
efforts, and leaders of the Senate Agriculture,
Nutrition and Forestry Committee leaders made
a point of showing how their bill would bring
down the decit.
While overall spending on programs covered
by the bill has climbed because more people are
receiving food stamps, the committee head, Sen.
Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., and the top
Republican, Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas, said the
bill would save $23 billion over the next 10
years compared with spending under the current
farm bill.
That comes from replacing four farm com-
modity subsidy programs with one, consolidat-
ing 23 conservation programs into 13, and end-
ing several sources of abuse in food stamps. That
program is called the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program, or SNAP.
Bipartisan effort leads to Senate OK of farm bill
OPINION 9
The importance of the
Ice Center of San Mateo
Editor,
As the main outlet for recreational
ice skating here in San Mateo County,
the Ice Center of San Mateo is a valu-
able and irreplaceable piece of our
community. The Ice Center of San
Mateo provides an affordable alterna-
tive for gure skaters as the main ISI
(Ice Skating Institute) afliated ice
rink on the Peninsula.
Over the years, the ICSM figure
skating team has traveled throughout
California and has placed well in
competitions including the ISI
Worlds. The ICSM participates in and
hosts numerous ice skating competi-
tions and shows throughout the year.
Our performance team participates in
the annual Bay Skates show in San
Jose and our rink is known for our
skating coordinated with creative
props. Our skaters come from San
Mateo, Foster City, South San
Francisco, Redwood City, San
Francisco, Hayward and other cities
on the Peninsula and proudly repre-
sent not only the ICSM, but when
asked where we are from, we are
from San Mateo.
What is unique about the ICSM g-
ure skating team is the emphasis on
team rather than on the individual in
what is an individual sport. It is not
uncommon to see the skaters wearing
their ICSM team jackets around
Bridgepointe Shopping Center. It is
not uncommon for the more experi-
enced youth skaters to give back to our
community by helping to teach ice
skating to younger skaters.
The ICSM is home for kids from all
over the Peninsula and beyond to be
one team and, even more importantly,
friends.

What letter were they reading?
Editor,
It was interesting to read that Mike
Caggianos and John Dillons only
comebacks (National views and
God bless both published in the June
18 edition of the Daily Journal, respec-
tively) to my letter (God bless
America published in the June 14 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal) were to label
me as some sort of racist.
To Mr. Caggiano, I didnt know who
Ayn Rand was, so I had to Google her.
Nice Mr. Caggiano, you have come to a
new low in your counterarguments.
Mr. Dillons characterization of
Idaho, including its brand of arm bands
and swastikas, is another example of
his inability to form a coherent counter
argument and stay on point.
Labeling people racist, gentlemen, is
quite a serious accusation, and neither
of you should throw the term around
loosely. Not only will it dilute the
charge when made correctly but also it
is a character assassination when made
falsely.
For the record, I made no mention of
race in my letter, which was about state
nances and taxation.
Mr. Caggianos reference to Islamo-
JudeoChristian values is, I believe,
hypocritical. He needs to remember
there is a separation of church and state
in this country for good reason.
It is a sad day when the only argu-
ment against those of us who are scal-
ly conservative in California is to label
us racist. This is nothing new, and it is
not surprising. I have a thick skin, so it
rolls right off me, and I will continue to
speak my mind.
Im more concerned with those who
share my point of view and are scared
to speak out against our states dire s-
cal predicament. Where else can you
pass a budget based on taxes that
havent even been passed by the voters
yet?
It is becoming more and more dif-
cult to be vocally conservative in
California, as disagreeing with the left
is becoming a contact sport. The use of
unsavory tactics by a people to silence
those who disagree with them is the
new normal in this country.

The Press-Enterprise
C
alifornia should not elevate
the perception of safety above
the reality of public health.
Too many troubling questions sur-
round the states current furniture
ammability standards. State regula-
tors should rethink those regulations,
to protect Californians from burns
and from exposure to toxic chemicals.
Gov. Jerry Brown this week directed
state regulators to revise the states
rules governing re retardant chemi-
cals added to couches, chairs and other
upholstered furniture. The Bureau of
Electronic and Appliance Repair,
Home Furnishings and Thermal
Insulation will draft new rules in the
next few months to replace the states
nearly four-decade old standards.
Brown noted growing scientic evi-
dence that the ame retardants harm
human health and the environment.
Californias standards do not require
manufacturers to treat furniture with
re retardants, but saturating the foam
used in upholstered furniture with the
chemicals is the most common way to
comply with the state rules. The gover-
nors call for revising the states
approach has nationwide implications:
Californias trend-setting standards
often inuence the regulations
imposed by other states and the federal
government.
But California has solid reasons for
revisiting the regulations. The ame
retardants do not stay in the furniture,
but migrate into the environment.
Various scientic studies have discov-
ered high levels of the chemicals in
both wildlife and humans, and link the
toxins to thyroid disruption, lowered
fertility, cancer and a range of other
health ills. California no longer allows
the use of some of these chemicals, but
they remain in older products. The
newer replacements for these toxins
may not be much safer: The retardants
undergo scant government review, and
the ingredients are often trade secrets.
Nor are re retardants necessarily a
lifesaver. The Chicago Tribune last
month reported on previously undis-
closed federal Consumer Product
Safety Commission tests in 2009,
which found the chemical treatment of
furniture had little effect on slowing
res. A commission ofcial said the
researchers did not nd the treated
foam to provide any signicant pro-
tection. Other methods, such as using
a barrier of re-resistant fabrics,
accomplished more with far fewer
health risks from dangerous chemicals.
The makers of the chemicals say the
state regulations have prevented res
and saved lives. But an Assembly
analysis of a 2009 bill on re retar-
dants noted little difference in safety
between California and states without
any furniture ammability standards.
And the industrys credibility is sus-
pect: The Tribune reported last month
that the industrys star witness last
year offered testimony to California
legislators that included made-up anec-
dotes of re deaths due to the absence
of ame retardants.
The evidence of health dangers and
the questions about effectiveness sug-
gest the state needs to nd a sounder
approach to making furniture re-safe.
Californians gain little if the state pro-
tects them from ames by putting their
health at risk from furniture toxins.

No controversy?
In Burlingame?
S
o how is it that the Burlingame City Council could
approve a development signicantly larger than a previ-
ous controversial proposal on the citys Bayshore with
nary a peep of dissent?
Call it reverse engineering and a much different political cli-
mate. On Monday, the council approved a 689,810-square-foot
ofce development at 300 Airport Blvd. site of the former
Burlingame Drive-in. The site is envisioned to have two ve-
story buildings, one seven-story building and one eight-story
building on 18.13 acres and would be available for biotech
use. Though groundbreaking is set for next year, it will likely
take up to 10 years for construction.
Along with the large buildings,
there will be a two-story amenities
building with child care and exer-
cise facilities and a cafe.
In 1999, a 488,000-square-foot
ofce development was envisioned
at the site and sparked a tremendous
amount of controversy because of
its size, potential impacts on trafc
and its effect on wind patterns so
important to windsurfers and
kitesurfers who ock to the area just
to its south. That project, known as
301 Airport Blvd., had a weight of controversy, but ultimately
fell apart by the weight of the economic downturn after the dot-
com bust and the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
But what it did yield was a template for what the community
did not want. And a council subcommittee of Ann Keighran
and Jerry Deal, both on the Planning Commission when it
rejected the rst proposal, worked with the developer for four
years to make sure the communitys needs were met. The rst
obstacle was wind and the buildings were designed to create
minimal impact on those who choose to be pulled by kites and
sails along the water. Another obstacle was creating a commu-
nity benet by re-doing the Bayfront and, when completed,
there will be three and a half acres of open space along the
Bayfront for all to enjoy. Still another obstacle was trafc and
the developer contributed $1 million to Burlingames $8 mil-
lion share for the Broadway overpass improvement project and
will also contribute money to San Mateo for the Poplar Avenue
on- and off-ramps when the city decides how it will be recon-
gured. In addition, companies who locate their will be
required to contribute to additional shuttles from the Millbrae
BART station.
Its still a massive project, but there were lessons learned
from the controversy and those lessons were applied to an
open-ended and hospitable planning process seemingly ending
with success. My, how times have changed.
***
Now that the June primary is over, its a whole new ball
game for Shelly Masur and Warren Slocum, both vying for the
District Four San Mateo County supervisor seat. Though
Slocum garnered approximately 38 percent of the vote in the
seven-candidate race, it was not the 50 percent needed to
become a clear winner and send him directly into Rose Jacobs
Gibsons seat once she is termed out at years end. Now, its a
runoff. At rst glance, it appears Slocum merely needs to pick
up 12 more percentage points to win, but there is an atomiza-
tion that takes place as it is now a two-person race.
Slocum got into the race late and was unable to pick up
many endorsements and funded most of the rst portion of the
campaign himself. Now, he is picking up cash and endorse-
ments where he can, just naming supervisors Adrienne Tissier,
Jacobs Gibson to his list of supporters along with former
supervisors Tom Nolan, Mike Nevin and Tom Huening. Masur,
who received around 21 percent of the vote, also recently
announced the support of state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto,
and Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park.
Slocum also picked up the support of Menlo Park Mayor
Kirsten Keith, who came in third in the June 5 supervisor pri-
mary with around 15 percent of the vote. If all Keiths support-
ers line up behind Slocum, its game over for Masur. But it
doesnt work that way.
This is considered a quiet campaign time since most people
start paying attention after Labor Day, but there is plenty going
on behind the scenes. Masur is hoping younger, liberal voters
will come out in November and said she will be focusing on
the budget, public transportation, affordable housing and eco-
nomic development along with infrastructure like the Grand
Boulevard Initiative, which seeks to create new development
along El Camino Real. She also wants to emphasize her public
health and education background.
Masur is engaging, smart and savvy, so she will likely spend
the next few months solidifying her ideas and polishing her
stump speech. As far as any controversy about Slocums pen-
sion as former chief elections ofcer, that wont likely have
any legs since he said he will not take his whole salary as
supervisor if elected, though he is not sure yet of the details.
And both said they have no plans to buy huge billboard space
on Highway 101 like Keith did. Thats probably for the best.

NEW YORK Relentlessly gloomy
reports about the health of the world econ-
omy rocked Wall Street on Thursday, stir-
ring more worry about the stalled recovery
and sending the stock market to its second-
worst decline this year.
The bad economic reports kept piling
up: Manufacturing slumped in China. A
closely watched unemployment gure
jumped to its highest level in nine months.
Sales of previously owned homes fell.
Then came word of a manufacturing slow-
down in China, followed by a sharp con-
traction in Northeast manufacturing, the
worst since last August.
Suddenly, the outlook turned so bad that
a Goldman Sachs analyst told clients to
place bets against the stock market.
The news has been horrible out there,
said Uri Landesman, president of Platinum
Partners. The U.S. economy is slowing
down. And Chinas growth is denitely
under question.
The Dow started sinking after the
Philadelphia branch of the Federal
Reserve reported a manufacturing slow-
down resulting from a steep drop in com-
panies orders. Then the losses just accel-
erated.
Mining and other companies that made
basic materials fell hard after prices for
commodities such as copper and oil
dropped.
Elsewhere, the Labor Department
reported that the four-week average of
applications for unemployment benets
jumped to the highest level since
September. The National Association of
Realtors also reported that sales of previ-
ously owned homes dropped 1.5 percent in
May.
All this unfolded a day after the Federal
Reserve slashed its estimates for U.S. eco-
nomic growth and said it would extend a
bond-buying program through the end of
the year. The moves disappointed investors
who had hoped for bolder steps from the
central bank to get the economy going
again.
Whats worse is that things are getting
weaker without the Fed coming in, said
Rex Macey, chief investment ofcer at
Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors.
We had a run-up in the market this month
because people had been expecting Fed
action. Today, the market is giving it back.
The Dow lost 250.82 points to close at
12,573.57, a drop of 2 percent.
The Standard & Poors 500 index lost
30.18 points to 1,325.51, a decline of 2.2
percent. The Nasdaq composite fell 71.36
points, 2.4 percent, to 2,859.09. All three
indexes lost their gains for the week.
The report on slowing manufacturing in
China was troubling since that country has
helped drive global economic growth over
the past four years. China is a major
importer of copper and other basic materi-
als.

Twitter site down for brief outage
NEW YORK Twitter users were unable to access the
micro-blogging service for part of Thursday.
Twitter initially said on its status blog that its engineers
were investigating access problems to the site. It then said it
resolved the issue. Apparently that wasnt the case, though,
because about three hours later, Twitter removed the
resolved part and said that the issue is on-going and engi-
neers are working to resolve it.
Twitter was working for many users by early afternoon,
but as of 4 p.m. Eastern the company said the issue was still
ongoing. It did not say how many users were affected by the
outage, or how long it lasted.
Business brief
WASHINGTON The sluggish job market is weighing on
the U.S. economy three years after the Great Recession ended.
And the signs suggest hiring may not strengthen any time soon.
A measure of the number of people applying for unemploy-
ment benets over the past month has reached a six-month
high, the government said Thursday. The increase suggests that
layoffs are rising and June will be another tepid month for hir-
ing.
Sales of previously occupied homes fell in May. And manu-
facturing activity in the Philadelphia region contracted for the
second straight month in June.
The gloomy economic data echoed a more pessimistic out-
look from the Federal Reserve issued Wednesday.
The reports also contributed to a sharp decline in stock prices.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 251 points to close at
12,574. The Standard & Poors 500 index and the Nasdaq com-
posite both ended the day down more than 2 percent.
It appears the slow-growth expansion will be slower, said
John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo Securities, in a note
to clients.
The generally bleak news came a day after the Fed down-
graded its outlook for growth and took another step to try and
jolt the economy.
The Fed now expects growth of just 1.9 percent to 2.4 percent
for the year. Thats half a percentage point lower than its previ-
ous estimate in April. And it thinks the unemployment rate, now
8.2 percent, wont fall much further in 2012.
Weak job market holding

WASHINGTON Broadcasters anticipating a major constitution-
al ruling on the governments authority to regulate what can be shown
and said on the airwaves instead won only the smallest of Supreme
Court victories Thursday.
The justices unanimously threw out nes and other penalties against
Fox and ABC television stations that violated the Federal
Communications Commission policy regulating curse words and
nudity on television airwaves.
Forgoing a broader constitutional ruling, however, the court con-
cluded only that broadcasters could not have known in advance that
obscenities uttered during awards show programs on Fox stations and
a brief display of nudity on an episode of ABCs NYPD Blue could
give rise to penalties. ABC and 45 afliates had been hit with proposed
nes totaling nearly $1.24 million.
Broadcasters had argued that the revolution in technology that has
brought the Internet, satellite television and cable has made the rules
themselves obsolete. The regulations apply only to broadcast channels.
Court tosses FCC

Redman wins pitchers duel for Braves
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
From the left or from the right,
if you were a batter yesterday in
Burlingame, Jack Redman and
Tyler Vaudell made sure you had
a rough afternoon.
Redman, the lefty, and Vaudell,
the right hander, combined for 12
innings of one-run baseball at
Washington Park in an American
Legion matchup. And at the end
of a classic pitchers duel, it was
Redmans Burlingame team that
took advantage of their scoring
opportunity, defeating Vaudells
Post 105 squad from Redwood
City 1-0.
Our coach has been working
with me to switch up my pitching
motion and add a couple pitches
and it really helped me a lot,
Redman said of his six innings of
masterful ball. I was just throw-
ing strikes. Thats what I like to
do, throw a lot of strikes.
I felt good, Vaudell said. I
was looking to hit my spots, keep
the ball low. I feel like they
squared up a few balls, but our
defense played pretty solid. That
one inning, when I walked that
batter to make the bases loaded,
that put us in a hole. I think we
played well and 1-0 is a tough
loss but I think well roll with it.
The lone run of the game came
in the third inning on a elders
choice that should have been a
double play had the ball not rat-
tled out of Tommy Flippins glove
at first base. As such, Kevin
Cochran scored and the one run
was all Redman and Grant
Goodman needed to lock up the
win.
But the story of this game
extended a bit further than the
scoreboard. While the Braves get
the W in the American Legion
standings, the real winners were
those in attendance as both
hurlers treated fans to a game that
resembled a great heavyweight
boxing match.
Despite the loss, Vaudells
pitching line was more efcient
than Redmans. Redwood Citys
No. 4 allowed that one run, but
only four hits on just 69 pitches in
six innings of work.
It denitely pumps you up,
Vaudell said of exchanging

MIAMI The decision is nal: LeBron James
made the right call coming to Miami.
Finally an NBA champion, its all worth it now.
James had 26 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists,
and got the kind of help that was worth leaving
home for, leading the Heat in a 121-106 rout of the
Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night to win
the NBA Finals in ve games.
Best player in the game, best team in the league.
James has found it all since taking his talents to
South Beach.
It means everything, James said moments after
the win. I made a difcult decision to leave
Cleveland but I understood what my future was
about ... I knew we had a bright future (in Miami).
This is a dream come true for me. This is denitely
when it pays off.
James added the nals MVP honor to his regular-
season award, calling it the happiest day of my
life during the award ceremony as he stood atop the
championship podium with his teammates.
He left the game along with Dwyane Wade and
Chris Bosh for good with 3:01 remaining for a
round of hugs and the start for a celebration hes

U.S., Mexico to renew
rivalry Aug. 15 in Mexico City
CHICAGO The U.S. soccer
team will face rival Mexico on Aug.
15 in Mexico City, the rst exhibi-
tion between the two on Mexican
soil in nearly 28 years.
The Americans are still seeking
their rst win south of the border in
a series that dates to 1934. Mexico
is 23-0-1 against the U.S. on its
home turf, most recently earning a
pair of 2-1 victories in FIFA World
Cup qualifying in 2005 and 2009.
The U.S. is 15-32-12 overall against
Mexico.
The last time the U.S. played a
friendly in Mexico, the Americans
lost 2-1 on Oct. 17, 1984.
The United States currently leads
Group A in CONCACAF qualifying
for the 2014 World Cup with four
points after two matches.

Dinges completes trek to Hall of Fame
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It must have been the shoes red
Converse sneakers which, way back
in the day, were the envy of a 5-year-
old Nancy Dinges. Red Converse
basketball sneakers now lost but not
forgotten.
Im not kidding you when I say
that I slept in those all the time,
Dinges said. My mom, she was like,
What are you doing? My kinder-
garten teacher, she always tells my
mom, I dressed really cute until I got
those shoes.
Standing in front of lifelong
friends, former coaches, supporters
and family, the story of Dinges
shoes was her entry point as she
reeled off 3 1/2 minutes of gratitude
during her induction into the
Peninsula Sports Hall of Fame last
week.
It wasnt hard to write, I dont
think, Dinges said of her acceptance
speech. Its a matter of what I was
going to write about. I knew who I
wanted to mention. I had 3 1/2 min-
utes. I really wanted to thank my par-
ents.
Dinges, now the head girls basket-
ball coach at San Mateo High
School, was one of 10 new inductees
after a spectacular career at Hillsdale
High School and University of the
Pacific. Since leaving the Tigers
team as the Big West Conferences
second-most prolic 3-point shooter
and arriving on the San Mateo cam-
pus four seasons ago, Dinges has led
the Bearcats to a 56-50 record
including a 24-15 mark in Peninsula
Athletic League play.
But last week, she wasnt honored
for her merits as coach those who
remember her in the red and baby
blue know Dinges had some serious
game.
Dinges graduated Hillsdale in
2000, hitting 315 3-pointers during
her high school career and garnering
San Mateo County Player of the Year
honors her senior season. She earned
a scholarship to University of Pacic
where she culminated an impressive
playing career. Last Wednesday,
Dinges chose to shine the spotlight
on the two people who got her into
her rst pair of basketball sneakers
and put a ball in her hands.
My dad was my coach from the
beginning, Dinges said. He has
been so special to me in this whole
process of my career and now being
a coach. No matter what, hes always
been there for me. So has my mom.
But my dad had the basketball
knowledge. My mom has been just
as supportive always going to
games, always pushing me. Shes the
one that always drove me to the bas-
ketball games. She was just as sup-
portive off the court as well.
Its support that included three-
hour summer practices, post-game
pep talks and shootarounds, goal-set-
ting sessions before taking to the
court in the sixth grade or leniency
when arriving late to dinner follow-
ing workouts that went a little too
long.
Dinges said her parents continue
to support her today in fact, it
was mother Dinges who spread the
word about daughter Dinges
induction into the Hall.
Im pretty humble with every-
thing, Dinges said. It took my
mom to post it on Facebook for
everyone to know. Im a very pri-
vate person, I guess. I didnt really
tell a lot of people about it until my
mom started telling a bunch of
people. And, its such an honor,
and Im definitely honored to be
with the inductees. It was so great
to be a part of that because of the
people. Its amazing.
Dinges parents can still be spot-
ted today as she roams the sideline
at San Mateo.
I always knew in the back of
my mind that I wanted to coach,
Dinges said of her first four sea-
sons as a Bearcat. I want to give
back what a lot of people gave to
me, which is opportunity
opportunity and encouragement.
Being in the coachs scene is
totally different than being a player,
she said. As a player, you kind of
have tunnel vision and you dont
really appreciate your coaches until
after. And you dont see your coach-
es watching lm all the time, or
breaking down plays or scouting
teams. I try to show my players ...
Im a player as well and I can teach
you. I want to teach my players as
much as I can because I can show
them how to do things.
Dinges passion for her athletes
and basketball is still in full swing,
spending crucial open gym time dur-
ing the summer with sights set on a
new season of Bearcat basketball.
My goal is to be consistent,
Dinges said of her immediate goals,
post Hall-of-Fame status. Every
year weve done well and I think
every year, in this next year, Im
looking to get better because our
teams have gotten better.
You can reminisce on the past and
remember each year, but looking to
next year, I dont see why we cant
be one of the top teams. As a coach,
its really great to see the players
develop as people and as players
now. Its amazing to see the students
develop as basketball players.

OAKLAND His tender left hand and
sore left hamstring both on ice after a big day,
Yoenis Cespedes shared how he reminded
himself to keep the celebration to a minimum.
Just a standard jump for joy at home plate,
nothing fancy that could lead to further
injuries.
No chance, he said with a smile, in perfect
English.
The rookie Cuban slugger hit a three-run
homer in the ninth inning for his rst career
game-ending shot, lifting the Oakland
Athletics to a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles
Dodgers on Thursday to complete their rst
home sweep of 2012.
Cespedes connected with no outs off Josh
Lindblom (2-1), sending a drive just inside the
left-eld foul pole. This marked just his sec-
ond game back in the starting lineup after he
had just one at-bat the previous 10 games
because of the hamstring injury.
I knew it was in fair territory, but I didnt
know it would be a home run, Cespedes said.
Im very happy. My teammates said, You
always do so much, youve hit key home runs
to put us ahead, but you still need a walkoff.
Oakland won for the eighth time in nine
games after holding the
NLs best team to eight
total hits in the three-game
series.
Starters Clayton
Kershaw of the Dodgers
and Travis Blackley each
excelled. They both
allowed one run on just
three hits in eight innings.
Blackley walked none and
struck out six while the NL
Cy Young winner fanned seven and walked
two.
Coco Crisp drew a leadoff walk from
Lindblom in the ninth and advanced on a wild
pitch. Crisp moved to third on Jemile Weeks
ineld single on which Lindblom elded the
ball and looked to third and then rst but did-
nt make a throw.
In that situation they had the momentum
on their side, Lindblom said. Coming in at
the start of an inning and walking the leadoff
guy is unacceptable, especially in a tie game.
Cespedes then hit his seventh home run of
the season and the As won their sixth in a row
at home in the series with L.A. The Dodgers
dont have a victory here since 2001 and are
2-12 overall at the Oakland Coliseum since
1997.
Ryan Cook (2-1) relieved Blackley in the
ninth. Ninth-place batter Matt Treanor drew a
walk, Dee Gordon bunted into a forceout on
which third baseman Brandon Inge red to
second and then the Dodgers speedster was
caught stealing on an outstanding throw by
new As catcher Derek Norris in his major
league debut.
Even Inges teammates doubted he could
make the play at second.
Yeah, its a tough play, Inge said.
Looking back on it, Im glad it worked out.
Kind of a risky play.
The Dodgers were swept for just the second
time this season. They dropped four in a row
to Milwaukee at home in late May.
Inge had a sacrice y in the second as
Oakland took an early lead, then Juan Rivera
hit a tying RBI single in the fourth. That was
all the Dodgers could muster for Kershaw,
who is pitching with plantar fasciitis in his left
foot.
Its fun to win, its fun to pitch well,
Kershaw said. When youre not winning, or
not pitching up to expectations theres a little
frustration. Its frustrating when youre trying
to keep the team in the game.
Blackley retired the rst 10 batters before
Elian Herreras one-out double in the fourth.
Blackley faced only one three-ball count all
afternoon, and this was his deepest outing.
The Australian left-hander made his fth start
since being claimed off waivers from the San
Francisco Giants on May 15.
Norris was called up from Triple-A
Sacramento before the game to share the
catching duties with Kurt Suzuki. Norris came
to the As in the trade last December that sent
All-Star lefty Gio Gonzalez to Washington.
It couldnt have ended better, said Norris,
stuck in trafc for two hours early Thursday
on the 80-mile drive from Sacramento.
Crisps franchise record streak of 36 suc-
cessful steals ended when he was thrown out
at second in the rst inning.
NOTES: As manager Bob Melvin will con-
tinue to use Cespedes as designated hitter
until he is fully healthy from the hamstring
and ready to return to his usual outeld spot.
... Mired in an 0-for-19 funk, Oaklands Josh
Reddick had the day off. ... The As will face
two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim
Lincecum (2-8) in Friday nights opener to the
second interleague edition of the Bay Bridge
Series. The Giants ace hasnt won since April
28 against San Diego, going 0-6 with a 6.44
ERA during his drought. ... RHP Chad
Billingsley (4-5) pitches for the Dodgers in
the Freeway Series at Anaheim on Friday
night against Angels RHP Dan Haren (4-7).

OMAHA, Neb. Freshman Jordan Montgomery and Matt
Price combined on a three-hitter Thursday night, lifting two-time
defending national champion South Carolina to a 2-0 victory over
Arkansas at the College World Series.
Michael Roth of the Gamecocks threw a two-hitter against Kent
State earlier in the day to keep the Gamecocks hopes alive.
South Carolina (48-18) and Arkansas (46-21) will play again
Friday night to decide which team goes to the best-of-three nals
against Arizona starting Sunday.
Arkansas beat South Carolina 2-1 on Monday, snapping the
Gamecocks record 22-game winning streak in the NCAA tourna-
ment.
The Gamecocks runs Thursday came in the second inning on
Tanner Englishs double and Chase Vergasons single.
Montgomery (6-1) struck out six and walked one in his rst out-
ing since June 3.
South Carolina is the third team in the 63-year history of the
CWS to win two full games in the same day. The last to do it was
Holy Cross in 1952, when it beat Western Michigan and Penn State
en route to the title. Tennessee won two in a day in 1951.
South Carolina pitchers faced 57 batters in Thursdays two
games three over the minimum.
Roth came up big after Wednesday nights elimination game
against Kent State was postponed because of rain. South Carolina
coach Ray Tanner decided to start Roth because the rainout gave the
staff ace a fourth day of rest.
Montgomery, who had been the scheduled starter on Wednesday,
was quite efcient when his turn came up against the Razorbacks.
He threw 89 pitches, 52 for strikes, before giving way to Price to
start the ninth. Price earned his 13th save.
Three of Arkansas four batters to reach base against
Montgomery were erased. Joe Serrano was caught stealing in the
rst, Bo Bigham was thrown out at third in the fth and Matt
Vinson was doubled off rst on a line drive to shortstop in the sixth.
Arkansas had handed Montgomery his only loss of the season
last month. He was tagged for nine hits and ve runs in 5 1-3
innings that night.
Three singles, a walk and a hit batsmen were all the Hogs could
muster against him Thursday.
Arkansas staff came into the game having allowed just two runs
over its previous 32 1-3 innings.
Randall Fant (2-3) lasted only 1 1-3 innings, allowing four hits
and getting charged for both runs. Brandon Moore pitched 5 2-3
innings of two-hit relief, but his effort went unrewarded because the
Hogs couldnt crack Montgomery.

while allowing the Blues to get a man to third
base. Redman allowed ve hits and pitched
around two errors.
I like to work fast, Redman said. I like to
do that. I like to catch the ball and get back on
the mound and throw strikes. Because I
switched up my motion and changed a lot of
things I wasnt adjusted to it yet. I was miss-
ing low a lot, which is OK I guess. My veloc-
ity isnt that good, so I just wanted to focus on
getting y balls and ground outs.
Redwood City squandered a couple of
opportunities during the game. In the third, an
error started a two-out rally and the Blues had
runners on rst and third but could not get a
run home. In the sixth, Redwood City had a
runner on second base with only one out, but
stranded him there.
In all, the Blues left seven men on base.
The Braves left four.
Interestingly, there were two 9-3 put-outs
during Thursdays game.
BRAVES
been waiting for since arriving in the NBA out
of high school as the No. 1 pick of the 2003
draft. James hopped up and down in the nal
minutes, shared a long hug with opponent
Kevin Durant, and then smiled as he watched
the confetti rain down from the rafters.
Its about damn time. Its about damn
time, James said.
The Heat took control in the second quarter,
briey lost it and blew the game open again in
the third behind their role players, James con-
tent to pass to wide-open 3-point shooters
while the Thunder focused all their attention
on him.
The disappointment of losing to Dallas in
six games a year ago vanished in a blowout of
the demoralized Thunder, who got 32 points
and 11 rebounds from Durant.
Bosh and Wade, the other members of the
Big Three who sat alongside James as he
promised titles at his Miami welcoming party
two summers ago, both had strong games.
Bosh, who broke down in tears as the Heat left
their own court after losing Game 6 last year,
nished with 24 points and Wade scored 20.
The Heat also got a huge boost from Mike
Miller, who made seven 3-pointers and scored
23 points.
That all made it easier for James, the most
heavily scrutinized player in the league since
his departure from Cleveland, when he
announced he was taking his talents to South
Beach on a TV special called The
Decision that was criticized everywhere
from talk shows and water coolers straight to
the commissioners ofce. James has said he
wishes he handled things differently, but few
who watched the Cavaliers fail to assemble
championship talent around him could have
argued with his desire to depart.
He found in Miami a team where he never
had to do it alone, though he reminded every-
one during this sensational postseason run
that he still could when necessary. He got sup-
port whenever he needed it in this series, from
Shane Battiers 17 points in Game 2 to Mario
Chalmers 25 in Game 4.
In the clincher it was Miller, banged-up
from so many injuries that he limped from the
bench to scorers table when he checked in.
He made his fourth 3-pointer of the half right
before James fast-break basket capped a 15-2
run that extended Miamis lead to 53-36 with
4:42 remaining in the rst half.
The Thunder were making a remarkably
early trip to the nals just three years after
starting 3-29. With Durant, Russell
Westbrook, Serge Ibaka and James Harden all
23 or younger, the Thunder have the pieces in
place for a lengthy stay atop the Western
Conference.
But their inexperience showed in this series,
a few questionable decisions, possessions and
outright mistakes costing them in their fran-
chises rst nals appearance since Seattle
lost to Chicago in 1996. Westbrook scored 19
but made only four of his 20 shots, unable to
come up with anything close to his 43-point
outing in Game 4, and Harden nished a mis-
erable series with 19.
Nothing they did could have stopped James,
anyway.
Appearing fully over the leg cramps that
forced him to sit out the end of Game 4, he
was dominant again, a combination of
strength and speed that is practically
unmatched in the game and rarely seen in its
history.
Wade skipped to each side of the court
before the opening tip with arms up to pump
up the fans, then James showed them nothing
wrong with his legs, throwing down an
emphatic fast-break dunk to open the scoring.
He made consecutive baskets while being
fouled, showing no expression after the sec-
ond, as if hed hardly even known he was hit.
Drawing so much attention from the Thunder,
he started nding his wide-open shooters, and
the Heat built a nine-point lead before going
to the second up 31-26.
HEAT
For Miami Heat fans, promise fullled
MIAMI As the Miami Heats lead sky-
rocketed Thursday night from 5 just after half-
time to an insurmountable 24 by the end of the
third quarter, their fans outside the
AmericanAirlines Arena decided it was time
to celebrate the teams second NBA champi-
onship in six years.
The thousands gathered in bars, restaurants
and a park near the arena screamed in joy late
Thursday as the Heat dropped one 3-pointer
after another. Fans used the fourth quarter to
get an early start on their party as they
watched their team coast to a 121-106 win
over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Heat
won the series in ve games.
The promise made to South Florida fans 23
months earlier when LeBron James and Chris
Bosh added their talents to Dwyane Wades
had arrived.
Were bringing the championship home to
Miami. LeBron promised us a ring and he got
us our ring, said Ivine Mulkey, 32.
Orlando Hernandez, 33, noted it had been a
team effort, with major Game 5 contributions
coming from supporting players Mike Miller,
Mario Chalmers and Shane Battier.
This is the best game theyve ever had
the best nal. Its unbelievable how they
stepped up. Its not just one person. Its every-
body, Hernandez said.
As the game ended, the fans from the neigh-
borhood bars pushed happily toward the
arena, meeting those leaving the game to
jump, whoop and holler. They banged pots
and pans and blew whistles. Championship
shirts were sold, and special editions of The
Miami Herald were handed out. Trafc on
Biscayne Boulevard outside the arena was
gridlocked.
Miami police reported no serious problems
after the game.
James, the regular season and Finals MVP,
may be hated in Cleveland and elsewhere for
leaving his native states Cavaliers, but his
adopted hometown showered him with love
after the game. Fans waved posters of their
hero and defended him against critics, who
branded him a choker who would never win a
championship.
Silence the haters LeBron did it, said
Matthew Gonzalez, 21.
Fans were already making plans for next
season. After all, James promised not just one
championship. Or just two, three, four, ve,
six or seven.

Turner in talks to
buy Bleacher Report
LOS ANGELES Turner
Broadcasting System is in talks to
buy San Francisco-based sports
news website Bleacher Report as it
explores expanding its online pres-
ence.
A person familiar with the matter
confirmed the talks. The person
spoke on condition of anonymity
Thursday. The person was not
authorized to speak publicly as the
discussions are not nished.
The pay TV unit of Time Warner
Inc. already manages NBA.com,
NASCAR.com, PGA.com and part
of MLB.com. Those website man-
agement deals were based on its
agreements with major sports
leagues to carry sports programming
on networks TBS, TNT and truTV.
Turner also had sold advertise-
ments for SportsIllustrated.com, a
sister company belonging to Time
Warner, for more than a year but
ended that relationship in the rst
quarter.
Bleacher Reports website says it
is the fourth-largest sports media site
with more than 25 million monthly
readers.
The purchase would enable Turner
to sell ads to a broader sports-
focused audience and could help
boost online traffic and network
viewers.
Talks were earlier reported by
AllThingsD.com.
Sports brief
WARSAW, Poland After his
powerful header lifted Portugal into
the semifinals of the European
Championship, Cristiano Ronaldo
looked ahead at the possibilities, not
behind at his achievement.
Ronaldo scored in the 79th minute
for a 1-0 victory over the Czech
Republic on Thursday. The
Portuguese dominated the action and
Ronaldo hit the post twice, then
nally delivered. He headed a cross
by Joao Moutinho straight at the
ground and up past the ailing hands
of Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech, who
was spectacular in defeat.
Expectations are high, the Real
Madrid star said. We have to keep
our feet rmly on the ground and
take one step at a time. We have to
win the next game. The goal is to get
to the nal.
This was Ronaldos third goal in
two games and it rewarded the
Portuguese for the relentless pres-
sure they applied all match.
I remember in the last game I hit
the post twice, too, Ronaldo said.
But the most important thing is I
managed to score this time, we won
and are in the seminals. Now it is
big smiles and good music.
Portugal will play Spain or France
in the semifinals in Donetsk,
Ukraine, on Wednesday. It is one
victory from its second European
Championship nal in eight years;
the Portuguese lost at home to
Greece in the 2004 title game.
Ronaldo already provided some
leadership and two goals to get past
the Netherlands in group play, and
his encore Thursday was huge.
Its just that Ronaldo is better. He
can play with his head, with both
feet, Czech Republic coach Michal
Bilek said. That decided the
match.
His goal nally punished the tac-
tics of the Czechs, who had parked
most of their players in front of Cech
for much of the game.

Most Cars Bring This Ad
By Dee-Ann Durbin
DETROIT Its a make or
break moment for electric car maker
Tesla Motors.
Tesla has lost nearly $1 billion
selling high-end electric sports cars
to the likes of George Clooney. Now
its going to attempt to sell them to
the rest of us and try to make
money doing so.
The companys rst mass-market,
five-seat sedan will be delivered
Friday. The car, called the Model S,
will either propel the company to
protability or leave it sputtering on
the fumes of a $465 million govern-
ment loan.
The Model S is the going to be
the rst true mass market product
experiment for Tesla, one they can-
not afford to fail, says Jesse
Toprak, vice president of market
intelligence at car buying site
TrueCar.com.
Tesla, the brainchild of PayPal
billionaire and SpaceX founder
Elon Musk, has always been a moon
shot. Analysts and auto industry
insiders scoffed at the idea that a
new car company could be created
from scratch and built in a high-cost
state like California. Boardroom tur-
moil and a string of technical prob-
lems repeatedly delayed the launch
of the companys only car, the
$109,000 two-seat Tesla Roadster.
Tesla survived by creating some-
thing so unique that the price tag
was almost irrelevant: A beautiful
car that could tear up a race track
without burning a single drop of
gasoline. Celebrities ocked to it,
giving Tesla a cache that an estab-
lished brand like Cadillac could
only dream of.
Now Tesla must do something
much more difcult. It has to con-
vince more traditional car customers
to buy an expensive vehicle with
limited range from a small, untested
company.
The Model S carries a starting
price of $49,900 after a federal tax
credit about the same as a Lexus
RX hybrid crossover. Models top
out at $101,550, or about the same
as a hybrid Fisker Karma sports car.
A car thats half the price of the
Roadster lets Tesla break into a big-
ger market, but those customers will
take a hard look at the value they are
getting. This isnt a trophy car to
park on Rodeo Drive. Its a sedan
for hauling kids and groceries.
The high price will limit sales,
says Rebecca Lindland, an analyst
with IHS Automotive. She doubts
Tesla will reach its goal of selling
20,000 Model S sedans in 2013.
Nissan has sold just under 30,000
all-electric Nissan Leaf sedans since
they went on sale at the end of 2010.
But the Leaf is little more than half
the price of a Model S.
Still, the Model S already has
broader appeal than the Roadster.
Tesla says more than 10,000 people
have put down a refundable deposit
for the sedan, and it expects to sell
5,000 this year. The Roadster has
sold just 2,150 since 2008
The rst sedans will be delivered
to customers Friday at Teslas facto-
ry in Fremont, Calif., a plant the
company bought for $42 million in
2010 from its former operators,
General Motors Co. and Toyota
Motor Corp. Tesla will host 12 test
drives around the country this sum-
mer for reservation holders.
Tesla didnt make executives
available for interviews ahead of
Fridays event. But at the companys
annual meeting this month, Musk
said hes highly condent that
Tesla will meet its goals. That
includes making a prot in 2013.
Even if buyers take a chance on
Tesla, the risks dont end there. A
charging network doesnt exist in
the U.S., and electric-car owners can
run out of power between stops.
Theres no gasoline engine that
kicks in as a backup, as there is in
the electric Chevrolet Volt.
Tesla is trying to ease worries
about range by throwing in a charg-
er with three kinds of adapters that
can be used at home or at public
charging stations. Its also planning
a network of fast chargers at high-
way exits. Buyers can upgrade to a
battery with an industry-best 300
miles of range. The base model can
go for 160 miles on one charge.
The companys retail strategy is
also untested. Its 14 U.S. stores have
a tiny presence compared with
Lexus 230. When Roadsters need
repairs, Tesla deploys technicians to
the owners house. It will be far
more expensive to do that if Tesla
sells as many Model S sedans as it
hopes. The companys plans for
servicing the cars are hazy. Musk
said recently that Tesla simply
wants to make cars that dont need
servicing.
We want every aspect of that car
to be as perfect as possible, he said.
Teslas new sedan will make or break company
Tesla has already lost $1 billion selling high-end sports cars. Its new Model S a five-person sedan that was
designed for the mass market will make or break the company.

DETROIT Lexus makes the
best-quality cars in the U.S., and
automakers overall are much better
at eliminating problems that land
vehicles in the repair shop, accord-
ing to a new survey of car owners.
Toyotas luxury brand had the
fewest problems per 100 vehicles in
a survey of 2012 models by research
rm J.D. Power and Associates. The
brand was followed by two other
luxury carmakers, Jaguar and
Porsche, which tied for second
place. Cadillac and Honda rounded
out the top ve.
Cars and trucks sold in the U.S.
had the highest quality since J.D.
Power started doing the study in
1987. Still, quality was hurt by
widespread glitches in technology
such as touch-screen controls and
voice-recognition software, said
David Sargent, the rms automo-
tive vice president.
Companies have learned quality
manufacturing techniques from top
competitors, and theyre using high-
er quality materials than in the past,
he said. Quality has improved so
much during the past decade that the
difference between the best and
worst brands is less than one prob-
lem per vehicle, according to the
study.
Everybody in the industry knows
that if they dont keep improving,
theyre going to fall behind, said
Sargent.
In the nationwide survey, J.D.
Power asked 74,000 people who
bought or leased 2012 models about
how reliable their vehicles were and
whether they had problems with
knobs, switches, electronics and
other items in the rst 90 days of
ownership.
Its the rst major assessment of
quality for 2012 vehicles. Consumer
Reports magazines inuential qual-
ity study comes out in October and
includes other years. J.D. Power fol-
lows up with a long-term quality
study in March.
In the J.D. Power survey, the
entire industry cut the number of
problems per 100 vehicles by ve to
a score of 102.
Here are some highlights from the
study:
Winners
Lexus owners reported only 73
problems per 100 vehicles. Lexus
wins consistently because quality
and customer service have guided
the brand since its rst car went on
sale in 1989, Sargent said. Cadillac
was Detroits top entry at fourth,
and Honda was the highest-ranking
mainstream brand at fth.
Losers
Italys Fiat tied for last in quality
with Mercedes smart brand. Both
had 151 problems per 100 vehicles.
Best models
Ford and Lexus had the top cars
or trucks in three categories. Inniti,
Nissan and Toyota each won two
categories.
Technology woes
Sargent said the poor quality scores
for new technology came because
people had trouble adjusting to the
devices, and because some of them
dont operate right. Electronics are
making their way from luxury to
mainstream brands where they are
new to people. There are a lot of
problems where the system just does-
nt work as designed, he said.
Most improved
Jaguar, which went from 21st place
last year to second this year, and
Nissan, which improved 11 spots to
tie for 12th. Jaguar was weighed
down last year by problems with the
XJ model, which was new for 2011.
Fixing those problems vaulted the
brand, which has only three models,
toward the top, Sargent said. Nissan
improved by hard work across all of
its models, he said.
Going backward
Troubles with touch screens and
automatic transmissions continued to
hurt Ford, which nished 27th out of 34
brands in the survey. Ford was a star in
2010 at fth place, but tumbled when it
introduced its complicated
MyFordTouch screens. Buyers also
were annoyed with constant shifting by
transmissions in small cars. Sargent
said J.D. Power surveyed people who
bought cars before Ford unveiled a
major x to its touch-screen. That x
has taken MyFordTouch quite a ways
toward where it needs to go, he said.
Lexus tops auto quality study as industry improves
New cars and trucks from foreign-
based automakers dominated
most categories in the annual J.D.
Power and Associates quality rank-
ings,but Detroit made big progress
in the important midsize car seg-
ment.
The survey asked drivers about
problems with 2012 model-year ve-
hicles in the rst 90 days of
ownership.
Here are the top scorers in four of
the biggest segments of the U.S.
auto market:
Compact Cars: Toyota Corolla,Toy-
ota Prius, Honda Civic
Midsize Cars: Chevrolet Malibu,
Ford Fusion and Honda Accord (tie)
Compact Crossover SUVs: Honda

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter:
Those four words, strung together in that
order, sound like a lot of fun, dont they?
Its a totally ridiculous premise, this notion
that the 16th U.S. president lived a whole
nother secret life, prowling about at night,
seeking out bloodsuckers. But its a creative
one, and it should have provided the basis for
a free-wheeling, campy good time.
Unfortunately, director Timur
Bekmambetov and writer Seth Grahame-
Smith, adapting his own best-selling novel,
take this concept entirely too seriously. What
ideally might have been playful and knowing
is instead uptight and dreary, with a visual
scheme thats so fake and cartoony, it depletes
the lm of any sense of danger.
Bekmambetov, the Kazakhstan-born direc-
tor whose 2008 action hit Wanted was such
a stylish, sexy thrill, weirdly stages set pieces
that are muddled and hard to follow a horse
stampede, for example, or the climactic brawl
aboard a runaway train. The murky (and need-
less) 3-D conversion doesnt help matters, and
its a waste of what was probably some lovely
cinematography from ve-time Oscar nomi-
nee Caleb Deschanel. He also keeps going
back to some of the same gimmicky uses of 3-
D, including slo-mo slashings and beheadings
that send black vampire blood spurting from
the screen; the repetition of this trick produces
the same numbing effect that it had in Tarsem
Singhs Immortals last year.
The tall, lanky Benjamin Walker certainly
looks the part as the title character (he also
looks distractingly like a young Liam Neeson,
and actually played a younger version of
Lincoln a murky, joyless hunt

LOS ANGELES Have you seen this
dog?
Its a mutt mischievous, medium-sized,
scruffy and street-smart with soulful eyes.
Comfortable as hero or underdog, yet likely to
be a stray. Must be a fast learner, able to
charm millions and willing to work for food.
Brandon Camp, whose father created
Benji nearly 40 years ago, and veteran
movie trainer Mark Forbes have set out to nd
a new Benji in a nationwide search that
includes online tools and sites that werent
around when the rst four Benjis were dis-
covered.
A Facebook page
(http://www.facebook.com/benjithemovie)
has been set up so pet
owners and shelter staffs
can post pictures and
videos of dogs they think
could be the next Benji.
Camp and Forbes will
scour photos of pets from
shelters and rescues
across the country, along
with sites like
petnder.com and adop-
tapet.com. Forbes said he
was personally visiting every shelter within 75
miles of Los Angeles, where he is general
manager and head trainer at Birds and
Animals Unlimited.
The original 1974 movie Benji is about a
stray who helps save two kidnapped children.
It was written, produced, directed and
nanced by Camps father, Joe Camp. When
he couldnt nd a distributor, he and his wife,
the late Carolyn Camp, decided to do it them-
selves.
There would be four sequels, several TV
specials, a Saturday morning TV series, a syn-
dicated comic strip and all kinds of merchan-
dizing deals. More than 73 million people
would see Benji at theaters and more than a
billion people around the world watch it on
television. Millions of DVDs would be sold.
The original Benji was Higgins, adopted in
the early 1960s from the Burbank Animal
Shelter by late animal trainer Frank Inn.
Higgins played Dog in the television series
Petticoat Junction for several years. At the
age of 14, he became Benji.
The second Benji was Higgins daughter,
the third was a distant relative and the fourth
was adopted from the Humane Society of
South Mississippi.
I only have snapshot memories of the orig-
inal, said Brandon Camp, who was just 3
years old when Benji came out. The sec-
ond Benji is the one I grew up with and trav-
eled with and knew and loved.
The dog was so much a part of his life, he
was nicknamed Benji at school. The two of
them were constantly on the go from White
House Easter egg hunts to morning shows,
late shows and show-and-tells. I missed most
of my rst grade because I was traveling
around with Benji, said Camp, who directed
Love Happens.
When he was 6 or 7, Camp went to New
York so Benji could ride a oat in the Macys
parade, where thousands of people were try-
ing to get close to see him. It was the rst
time I realized what kind of star he was, he
remembers.
Camp said the new movie will stay true to
the heart of the original Benji. Parents and
Search is
on for the
next Benji

NEW YORK Abraham Lincoln: THE
WHAT?
When you heard one of this summers pop-
corn lms has our 16th president hunting
vampires, you probably did a double take.
Youre not alone.
Benjamin Walker, who stars as Lincoln in
the horror thriller Abraham Lincoln: Vampire
Hunter, says he realizes that its a pretty
weird idea: We get it. Its a ridiculous prem-
ise.
Seth Grahame-Smith, who penned the
screenplay and the original novel, is not argu-
ing: Of course its crazy.
But its the kind of crazy that drew in Tim
Burton, who signed on to produce the lm
before Grahame-Smith even wrote the book.
I just heard the idea and the proposal and
right away and I never do this I wanted
to see this movie, Burton said at a recent pro-
motional event for the lm. Something in my
brain went crazy.
He says it reminds him of movies he loved
watching as a kid in LA. There was this the-
ater in Burbank that would show triple fea-
tures of lms like Dr. Jekyll & Sister Hyde
and Blacula.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which
opens wide on Friday, tells the story of the
presidents life with a revisionist twist: that
Lincolns discovery of a vampire plan to take
over the United States fueled his White House
ambitions and the U.S. Civil War. It was
directed by Kazakhstan-born Timur
Bekmambetov (Wanted) and co-stars
Anthony Mackie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead
and Dominic Cooper.
To the eccentric Burton, who has directed
such quirky movies as Edward
Scissorhands and Beetlejuice, turning a
We get it. Its a ridiculous premise.

EARTHQUAKES IN GOLDEN GATE
PARK. HOLD ON, AND PREPARE TO
BE MOVED. Earthquake: Life on a
Dynamic Planet, at the California Academy
of Sciences, doesnt just talk about earth-
quakes, it makes them happen, with an up
close and personal demonstration that helps
tell the story of how these super-sized seis-
mic phenomena t into the larger story of the
ever-changing Earth. Occupying the entire
west hall of the Academy, the exhibit features
large-scale installations, including a walk-
through model of the Earth, an enclosure for
incredibly cute live baby ostriches (yes, there
are surprising connections between earth-
quakes and ostriches), and an interactive
space designed to teach earthquake prepared-
ness.
***
THE SHAKE HOUSE IS BACK. Travel
back in time to see, hear and feel two earth-
quakes. The Shake House, an updated ver-
sion of one of the academys most popular
past exhibits, lets you experience the sus-
tained tremors of the citys two biggest
quakes, the 6.9magnitude Loma Prieta
earthquake and the 7.9magnitude Great San
Francisco quake of 1906. This immersive
experience puts you inside the dining room
of a classic Victorian-era home with a win-
dow view of San Franciscos famed Painted
Ladies houses of Alamo Square. Railings
are provided to let you hang on tight (and you
will want to) as the room starts to rock and
roll. The no-fooling-around movement lets
you feel the difference between these two
quakes. Theres a lot going on inside the
Shake House, so keep your eyes open.
Water in the sealed sh bowl is actually
mineral oil, chosen because actual water
would turn green with algae growth and need
to be regularly changed. The book titles on
the lower shelf of the bookcase spell out the
larger idea behind the entire earthquake
exhibit. And the framed painting pays tribute
to the schooner Academy, an 89foot sailing
vessel that took academy scientists to the
Galapagos Islands in 1905. The great 1906
earthquake struck San Francisco during the
expedition, destroying the academys origi-
nal Market Street building and a majority of
the collection. The 75,000 specimens collect-
ed in the Galapagos formed the basis of the
new, rebuilt Academy in Golden Gate Park.
This is denitely the place to bring your out-
of-town visitors and show them what its all
about.

Neeson in 2004s Kinsey) but theres no oomph to his per-
formance, no there there. He doesnt exude any condence
or charisma, either as he becomes increasingly skilled in van-
quishing his foes or as he succeeds in wooing the sophisti-
cated (and engaged) Mary Todd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead).
And once he becomes the Lincoln we actually know with
the beard and the hat and that big, famous speech it mere-
ly feels like hes playing dress-up rather than embodying the
spirit of a towering historical gure.
His story begins in childhood when, according to this revi-
sionist lore, Lincolns mother was killed by a vampire before
his very eyes. He seeks revenge as an adult, but doesnt know
exactly what hes doing or whom hes dealing with. Enter
veteran vampire hunter Henry Sturges (Dominic Cooper), a
debauched and amboyant Brit who helps him hone the tools
hell need but who has an ulterior motive of his own. (Even
the training montage, a staple of any movie about a warriors
transformation, feels oddly restrained.)
After wielding his silver-tipped axe on some practice tar-
gets these evil ends roam all around us, you know
Lincoln is nally ready to take on his nemeses: vampire busi-
nessman Jack Barts (Marton Csokas) and the genteel
Southerner Adam (Rufus Sewell), whos sort of the king of
Vampire Nation. (He gets some help from Anthony Mackie
as his childhood friend and Jimmi Simpson as the shopkeep-
er Lincoln worked for in Springeld.)
At the same time, hes kinda thinking he might want to
jump into politics during this tumultuous time in America.
And so you have this intensifying struggle between humans
and the living dead playing out against the backdrop of the
North and South on the brink of Civil War. The notion that
the horrors of slavery should be placed on a parallel with
monster horror as entertainment is really rather distasteful,
punctuated by the sight of vampires getting gored on a bat-
tleeld with Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg Address in the
background.
But thats nothing compared to the line about being late for
the theater that Mrs. Lincoln hollers at her husband toward
the end. Even when Abraham Lincoln nally gives in and
tries to loosen up, it gets it all wrong.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, a 20th Century Fox
release, is rated R for violence throughout and brief sexuali-
ty. Running time: 105 minutes. One and a half stars out of
four.
REVIEW
revered historical gure into a vampire slayer isnt that much
of a stretch. He says Lincoln just had that haunted look of
someone whos been up at night hunting vampires while
doing his day job as president.
Walker, whos an American history buff, says Lincolns
real-life story parallels that of a superhero character such as
Batman someone who had something traumatic happen
to him as a young man and then he realizes that he has to
focus his life to the good of humanity.
But the Vampire Hunter team agrees the joke stops after
the title. Were not having a laugh at Lincoln or making the
Mel Brooks version of this, says Grahame-Smith, who also
wrote the screenplay for Burtons campy Dark Shadows
vampire movie released in May.
He says they wanted to create a serious and dark summer
movie. The question became how to create a realistic thriller
of the time that happens to have some vampires in it.
For Walker, the importance was in the details: You do the
research. You try and make a time that seems foreign to you,
applicable to something that you can understand.
The lmmakers also stressed it was essential their vam-
pires t with the time period and the tone of that day.
Besides pairing a beloved president with vampires,
Grahame-Smith couldnt resist noting another oddity about
his summer movie: This is not a reboot, a remake, a pre-
quel; is not based on a toy, a video game, and it doesnt have
any robots in it.
LINCOLN
grandparents will recognize the spirit of Benji, he said. He
was always a mutt and will always be a mutt. He is the every-
dog.
But can a sequel be as good as the original? Besides millions
of Benji fans making comparisons, Camp is aware his father,
who now lives in Tennessee, will be watching, too.
The irony is he doesnt have to say a thing. I hear his voice
constantly in my head. If I screw this up, I have to look him in
the eye, he said.
Dad doesnt seem concerned. His script is fantastic and I
have no doubt that he will discover and be directing the best
Benji ever, Joe Camp said.
A Benji movie nearly four decades after the original has two
main things going for it, said David Brokaw, a veteran Los
Angeles publicist, personal manager and dog lover. First, the
fans will span those decades, from kids to grandparents.
Secondly, its about a dog. I dont think theres anything big-
ger right now, Brokaw said.
Camp says he will know instantly when he looks into the
right dogs eyes. Forbes said hell need to spend a little time
with the dog to judge its temperament.
Forbes is used to animals. Hes done 101 Dalmatians, Dr.
Doolittle, Marley and Me, We Bought a Zoo, Mr.
Poppers Penguins, Evan Almighty and Zookeeper.
There will be backup Benjis, but no stunt doubles, the men
said. The actors havent been cast for the movie yet, but Walden
Media (The Chronicles of Narnia series) is producing the
lm.
Forbes has watched the original Benji four or ve times.
Hes looking for a dog that can perform a sad scene so that the
viewer cries. The dog must be athletic, fearless, outgoing and
happy to please with goofy traits.
When Forbes nds a movie dog at a shelter, he makes sure the
dog has a home when fame fades. One of the dogs in his own
backyard is Cole, who was also known as The Shaggy Dog
and Tim Allen in 2006.
Camp and Forbes also hope happy endings extend beyond
their own backyards. When a dog stars in a movie, there is usu-
ally a rush to own a similar dog, Camp said. Hes hoping for a
run on mutts.

CBS takes sarcastic jab at ABCs Glass House
LOS ANGELES After failing to stop the debut of ABCs
The Glass House, CBS is trying another tactic against its
competitor: sarcasm.
CBS argued in court last week that the ABC show is a copy
of CBS Big Brother. But a judge refused to bar Glass
House from airing, saying he wasnt persuaded that CBS
would be harmed by it.
So CBS issued a tongue-in-cheek news release Wednesday
claiming its developing a reality series called Dancing on the
Stars a jab at ABCs Dancing With the Stars.
CBS says the mock series will air from the Hollywood
Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles and feature moderately
famous and sort of well-known people who will compete by
dancing on stars graves.
A spokesman conrmed the release came from CBS but
wouldnt elaborate. ABC declined comment.
Entertainment brief
WEEKEND JOURNAL 21
By Michele Kayal
You can build a bear, bottle your
own wine, paint pottery and now,
decorate your own television-worthy
cake.
Celebrity baker Duff Goldman,
the Food Networks Ace of Cakes,
on Thursday opens Duffs Cakemix,
a make-your-own-cake shop next to
his Los Angeles bakery Charm City
Cakes West, where novices and
experts alike can dabble in fondant,
cake tattoos and airbrushed designs.
With the pottery places youve
got this plate sitting around for a
while, he says. With this, you
make a cake, you take it home, you
invite a bunch of friends and you eat
it.
Aspiring cake decorators can do
as much or as little as they like,
Goldman says. After selecting a pre-
made cake or cupcakes in choco-
late, vanilla, marble, carrot, red vel-
vet and a daily special customers
can cover it in fondant or butter-
cream or have one of the stores
employees do it. Decorations will
include everything from sprinkles,
sugar flowers and jellybeans to
Goldmans signature cake tattoos.
Customers will get a tray of paint-
brushes, piping tips, fondant tools
and other gadgets. At a glass-
enclosed airbrush station, customers
can learn to grafti their cakes.
I want people to not only have
fun, but to learn something, to see
they can do something amazing and
fun and creative and be successful at
it, Goldman says. At the end of
their two hours I want them to look
at their cake and run up to a random
stranger and say Dude, look what I
made!
In a twist, Goldman will have
some competition from TVs Cake
Boss Buddy Valastro, who is intro-
ducing a new line of cakes at bak-
eries and grocery stores this sum-
mer. Unlike Goldmans line,
Valastros cakes will arrive fully
decorated, including the Badda
Bloom a two-layer cake, one
chocolate and one vanilla, with a
layer of fudge and covered in bright
green frosting with pink and purple
owers.
Goldman says his plans include
roughly two dozen stores nation-
wide within the rst two years, and
later, a store in Tokyo.
The rst, in Los Angeles, will
have 10 tables with 40 seats in the
decorating area. Goldman says he
expects a large part of the clientele
to be children and teenagers as well
as bridal showers and bachelorette
parties. A small cafe will offer
what else? cake and coffee for
parents sitting out the mayhem.
This is something thats different
and fun and cool, Goldman says.
For the cost of movie tickets and
popcorn and a soda you can hang out
and do a cake with your kids.
Prices will start at $36 for a cake
and all the decorating accessories, or
$18 for four cupcakes. In addition,
Duffs Cakemix will also offer fully
decorated cakes for purchase,
Goldman says, and to-go kits that
contain everything a person needs to
decorate at home.
Among Goldmans partners is Los
Angeles restaurateur Richard
Drapkin. The store will also have a
Duffs Cakemix food truck that
caters parties.
Goldman is also developing a line
of branded products that could
include unique cake tattoos, he says.
Chef allows customers to be Ace of Cakes
A new bakery opened by Duff Goldman, star of food Networks Ace of
Cakes, allows customers to bake and decorate their own cakes.
By Michele Kayal
You may not aspire to the culinary the-
atrics performed by the wizards of mod-
ernist cuisine transparent ravioli? edi-
ble balloons? but your cooking proba-
bly still could benet from a few lessons
from their labs.
And learning those lessons will get a lot
easier this fall when food science becomes
far more home-friendly. Riding the buzz of
science-driven cooking shows and hot
modernist chefs like Ferran Adria and
Grant Achatz, publishers are releasing two
books this fall that demystify the secrets of
everyday food science, such as searing
meat, scrambling eggs and measuring
our.
The Science of Good Cooking, from
the test kitchens of Cooks Illustrated mag-
azine, joins fty basic concepts why
salt makes meat juicy, why high heat
develops avor with 400 recipes that
show you how to put those principles into
practice.
Meanwhile, Modernist Cuisine at
Home, from the laboratory that produced
Modernist Cuisine, a six-volume ency-
clopedia of molecular gastronomy
released last year, promises a bit more
air, urging home cooks to turn their blow-
torches and meat injectors on comfy fare
such as cheeseburgers and roast chicken.
It used to be this obscure geeky thing,
to talk about food science, says Jack
Bishop, editorial director of Americas
Test Kitchen, which publishes Cooks
Illustrated. But now people see theres a
real connection between that and the kind
of cooking they do at home.
Bishops goal is to harness this interest
to create better cooks by putting the why
behind the how. Older, more experi-
enced cooks may be using proper tech-
nique, but may have no idea why it works
or where it comes from, he says. For
young people, who may not have grown
up watching someone cook, the concrete
explanations will provide a foundation.
Somebody whos been cooking a life-
time, like your grandmother, might have
internalized these concepts and might have
known intuitively that a roast will continue
to cook when it comes out of the oven, he
says. It helps you draw those connections
that you might not intuitively see unless
youve been cooking for 30 years.
The book offers practical takeaways,
like sidebars with small tips (a skillet
works better than a wok for stir-fries) and
techniques (sprinkle sugar on wet sh to
encourage browning). Charts for cooking
a roast thats truly rare or for how much
your cup of our should weigh also pro-
vide easy references.
But if the levelheaded Yankees at the
Boston-based test kitchen seek to educate,
Modernist Cuisine at Home author
Nathan Myhrvold wants to titillate.
He would have you turn your blowtorch
on a steak or cook scrambled eggs sous
vide, then deliver them as fanciful dollops
through a whipping canister.
Were living in a very exciting time for
cooking because all these things are possi-
ble, Myhrvold says.
And not just in a professional kitchen,
which admittedly is where so-called mod-
ernist cuisine earned its credibility (as well
as a fair amount of derision). Much of the
equipment called for - pressure cookers,
meat tenderizers, whipping canisters is
available in shopping malls or on the
Internet. And many of the techniques are
simple, Myhrvold says. And they produce
better food.
New books bring food science home
Big herring boats in
New England to carry monitors
BOSTON New England shing regulators on Wednesday
moved to determine whether herring trawlers, with their massive
nets and stunning efciency, are wiping out Atlantic herring and
doing lasting damaging to other struggling northeastern species.
The herring industry says the often repeated charge is baseless,
and theres no reliable evidence their boats are threatening either
the shing industry or the ecosystem.
On Wednesday, the New England Fishery Management
Council voted to require independent monitors on every trip for
the Northeasts largest herring vessels. Both the industry and its
critics backed the requirement Wednesday, condent theyll be
vindicated when the observers report what the trawlers do and
dont pull up.

LUXEMBOURG The head of
the International Monetary Fund
warned Thursday that the euro is
under acute stress and piled pres-
sure on Germany by advocating a
series of measures to pull Europe
out of its crisis that its Chancellor
Angela Merkel has strenuously
opposed.
Christine Lagarde urged leaders of
the 17 countries that use the euro to
consider jointly issuing debt, aiding
troubled banks directly and perhaps
relaxing strict austerity conditions
on countries that have received aid
all measures that Merkel, the
leader of the eurozones largest and
most powerful economy, has resis-
ted.
But Lagarde, speaking after a
meeting in Luxembourg of the
nance ministers of the 17 countries
that use the euro, said the IMF had
found the situation in Europe to be
dire.
We are clearly seeing additional
tension and acute stress applying to
both banks and sovereigns in the
euro area, she said late Thursday.
Asked what Germany would think
of her suggestions, she smiled and
said We hope wisdom will prevail.
Lagarde issued her warning in the
lead-up to a week that promises to
be unusually active in the ght to
save Europes common currency.
Meetings will take place amid
worldwide fears that an economic
crack-up in Europe could drag down
the entire global economy. Europe is
a substantial trading partner with the
rest of the world. Any deep reces-
sion in Europe will be felt in the
order books of other leading
economies including the U.S.
The IMF chiefs backing for solu-
tions that have been opposed by the
German government comes amid
increased pressure from a growing
number of international leaders for
Merkel and the eurozone to nd a
comprehensive solution to the debt
crisis rather than continuing to take
piecemeal measures that provide
only temporary relief. At this weeks
G-20 summit of world economic
powers in Los Cabos, Mexico,
politicians, including U.S. President
Barack Obama, called on Europe to
do what was necessary.
One of Lagardes recommenda-
tions for Europe was that eurozone
leaders should consider issuing
bonds or debt in some form
backed by governments of all mem-
ber countries an idea Germany
has vehemently opposed because,
while it would immediately ease
pressure on countries like Spain, it
would put German taxpayers on the
hook for foreign debts and increase
Germanys cost of borrowing.
Euro under acute stress
MEXICO CITY Mexican
marines on Thursday detained a young
man they believe is one of the sons of
Mexicos most-wanted drug kingpin,
Joaquin El Chapo Guzman, leader of
the powerful Sinaloa cartel.
The presumed son, identied by the
Navy as Jesus Alfredo Guzman
Salazar, was allegedly taking on an
increasing leadership role in Mexicos
most powerful drug cartel and purport-
edly served as the administrator of his
fathers fortune, estimated by Forbes
magazine at about $1 billion.
The boyish, heavyset Guzman
Salazar, known as El Gordo, or
Fattie, was captured early Thursday
during a raid by marines in Zapopan,
an upscale suburb of the western city of
Guadalajara, thanks to intelligence
work and information from U.S.
authorities, Navy spokesman Jose Luis
Vergara said at a news conference.
Also captured in the raid was an
alleged 19-year-old Sinaloa cartel
member, Kevin Daniel Beltran Ramos.
The pair were caught with a grenade
launcher and four grenades, two
assault ries, two pistols and $135,000
in cash.
Mexico troops detain son
of most-wanted drug lord
By Larry Margasak
WASHINGTON House
Speaker John Boehner demanded
Thursday that the Obama adminis-
tration give in and turn over docu-
ments related to a botched gun-
tracking operation, insisting thats
the only way to stop a House vote to
hold the attorney general in con-
tempt.
Boehner took a hard line against
the Obama administration and
Attorney General Eric Holder
despite a willingness by House
Republicans and Holder to negotiate
a settlement before the matter
becomes a constitutional crisis. The
president has invoked executive
privilege, a legal principle used to
avoid disclosure of internal presi-
dential documents.
While a confrontation between the
legislative and executive branches of
government would be an academic
dispute to most voters, Boehner on
Thursday injected a human element
into the battle over documents relat-
ed to Operation Fast and Furious.
He said the family of slain border
agent Brian Terry deserved answers
about the guns that killed him.
Two guns that were allowed to
walk from Arizona to Mexico in
the failed effort to track weapons
were found near
Terry after he
was killed.
The Terry
family deserves
answers about
why their son
was killed as a
result of an oper-
ation run by the
United States
gover nment ,
Boehner told his
weekly news
conference.
During the
year and a half
investigation by
the House
Oversight and
Go v e r n me n t
R e f o r m
Committee, the Justice Department
turned over 7,600 documents about
details of Operation Fast and
Furious. But because the department
initially denied and then admitted it
used a risky investigative technique
known as gun-walking, the com-
mittee has turned its attention to
how the department responded to
the investigation. The additional
documents it seeks are about that
topic.
Agents of the U.S. Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives in Arizona abandoned
the agencys usual practice of inter-
cepting all weapons they believed to
be illicitly purchased. Instead, the
goal of gun-walking was to track
such weapons to high-level arms
traffickers who had long eluded
prosecution and to dismantle their
networks.
Gun-walking has long been barred
by Justice Department policy, but
federal agents in Arizona experi-
mented with it in at least two inves-
tigations during the George W. Bush
administration before Fast and
Furious. These experiments came as
the department was under wide-
spread criticism that the old policy
of arresting every suspected low-
level straw purchaser was still
allowing tens of thousands of guns
to reach Mexico. A straw purchaser
is an illicit buyer of guns for others.
The agents in Arizona lost track of
several hundred weapons in
Operation Fast and Furious.
Boehner renewed his allegation
that President Barack Obamas deci-
sion to assert executive privilege to
withhold the documents is an
admission the White House ofcials
were involved in the decision that
misled the Congress and covered up
the truth. In fact, historically, sev-
eral presidents have invoked execu-
tive privilege over Cabinet depart-
ment documents that did not direct-
ly involve White House ofcials.

Commerce secretary
resigns following seizure
WASHINGTON Commerce
Secretary John Bryson resigned
Thursday less than two weeks after suf-
fering a seizure and multiple car acci-
dents in the Los Angeles area, saying he
didnt want his health to be a distraction
from his job.
Bryson made his resignation ofcial
in a letter to Obama dated Wednesday,
saying it was a
consequence of
a recent seizure
and a medical
leave of absence.
Obama met
with Bryson in
the Oval Ofce
on Thursday to
thank him for his
service. The pres-
ident said in a statement he had accept-
ed the resignation and that Bryson had
provided invaluable experience and
expertise to his administration.
Brysons resignation followed a
series of trafc incidents in Southern
California on June 9. Authorities said
Bryson was driving alone in a Lexus
near Los Angeles when he struck a
vehicle that had stopped for a passing
train. He spoke briey with the three
occupants, and then hit their car again
as he departed.
The secretary then struck a second
car in a nearby city, where he was later
found unconscious in his car.
Commerce ofcials said Bryson had
not suffered a seizure previously and
had limited recall of the event.

Frenchman Creek without prior notica-
tion to, and permits from, the Department
of Fish and Game, Water Resources Board,
San Mateo County, California Division of
Occupational Safety and Health, or any
other governmental agency, according to
the District Attorneys Ofce. The employ-
ees were in the process of installing a new
system for pumping water from Loess
Creek to support commercial operations
on the property.
The second incident occurred on or
about June 30, 2010. The complaint
alleges that the companys employees were
demolishing a structure on its property
and, in so doing, unintentionally damaged
a ground-level pipe that connected to three
above ground storage tanks.
Each tank was capable of holding
approximately 10,000 gallons. One of the
tanks contained thousands of gallons of red
dye diesel. The damaged pipe began
releasing red dye diesel into the soil, where
it spread to Loess Creek, Frenchman Creek
and ultimately to the Pacic Ocean. The
release resulted in soil and waterway pol-
lution and contamination, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce.
Most of the area is already cleaned up,
Wong said. It was a small problem and its
not a problem now. The contaminants in
the soil were and are way below guide-
lines.
Hazardous materials cases are frowned
upon by government and rightfully so,
Wong said, but the allegations were over-
stated.
Deputy District Attorney Todd Feinberg
helped negotiate the settlement.
Given the factors, we are happy with
the outcome, Feinberg said.
The permitting process helps protect the
environment, he said, and hazardous mate-
rials need to be handled legally and safely.
The DAs ofce takes these obligations
seriously, he said.
Challenge Horticulture cooperated with
the resolution of the case and has taken
action to clean up the released diesel,
according to the District Attorneys Ofce.

PENALTY
supervisors must live in the district they
represent but are elected countywide.
San Mateo County is the only county in
the state that elects supervisors in this
way.
The California Voting Rights Institute
of the Lawyers Committee for Civil
Rights led a lawsuit against the county
in April of last year after the Board of
Supervisors rejected in 2010 a recom-
mendation by a charter review commit-
tee to put the issue to the voters.
At that time, Tissier was against the
idea of placing it on the ballot but, as
written in a staff report by County
Counsel John Beiers, noted that recent
developments make additional discus-
sion and consideration of the issue by
the current Board of Supervisors appro-
priate.
The April 2010 lawsuit contended the
countys current method of electing
supervisors is inequitable to minorities
and violates the California Voting
Rights Act. Although Latinos and
Asians each compromise approximately
25 percent of the countys population,
only one Latino has held a supervisor
seat since 1995 and no Asians, the group
argued. Opponents of the current system
argue it causes a fundraising burden for
candidates who must throw their net
wider for money and votes. Supporters
say countywide voters should be able to
weigh in on elected ofcials who repre-
sent every resident.
Trial is set to begin on the lawsuit
Aug. 20, according to Beiers.
San Mateo County voters had rejected
a proposal to change the system in both
1978 and 1980.
Tissier said she wasnt sure if she sup-
ports changing the way the supervisors
are elected but felt the time was right for
the board to consider allowing voters to
weigh in.
Im not a big proponent of district
elections, but it hasnt been voted on
since 1980, so lets bring it to the
board, she said. I do believe the voters
know what theyre doing.
If the county board introduces an ordi-
nance to ask voters to weigh in on the
charter change at the June 26 meeting,
nal adoption can take place at the reg-
ularly scheduled meeting July 10 and it
can be placed on the Nov. 6 ballot.
ELECTIONS
Justice and increases the use of
Proposition 172 tax funds by $1 million.
Voters passed a rental car tax that will
generate approximately $8 million
annually but the failure of taxes on
hotels and commercial parking left a $2
million gap.
The budget also adds back approxi-
mately $320,000 based on requests
made during the last four days of hear-
ings. The three biggest item increases
are creating a specific plan of the
Princeton area, adding water capital
projects in Memorial Park and $275,000
for the Cal Fire contract to keep the
engine at the Tower Road station anoth-
er three months while the county studies
the impacts of its elimination.
Supervisor Dave Pine also asked that
the county take a broader look at its re
service and projections of any ongoing
decits rather than only focus on Station
17.
Other additions include $50,000 to
market the countys parks, particularly
Devils Slide, $40,000 for domestic vio-
lence agency CORA and $5,000 for a
coastside agricultural workshop request-
ed by Supervisor Don Horsley.
The nal budget will be approved no
later than Oct. 2. By that point, the state
should have its budget in place and
county officials ready to make any
changes based on those figures. On
Thursday, County Manager John
Maltbie updated the board on the
Legislatures trailer bills, saying the
state budget will have reduced cuts to
child care and leaves $500 million for
prison construction in counties that are
shovel ready a possible boon to San
Mateo County which is still holding out
hope for state money to help with its
new jail.
The countys budget offers a short
respite from its slashing of the past
years and department heads were asked
to deliver presentations this week
focused on long-term sustainable solu-
tions. As the process wrapped up yester-
day, several supervisors commented on
the ease compared to previous years.
When the four days of hearings began
on Monday, the county was looking at
234 jobs on the chopping block but a
decision Tuesday to let a private compa-
ny manage the county-run nursing home
in Burlingame could protect many from
pink slips. The move also saves the
county $1.8 million allocated in the
budget to removed the ground oor of
the San Mateo County Medical Center
to accommodate some of the care home
patients.
The proposed budget is higher than
last years $1.756 billion budget which
Maltbie attributes to a number of capital
projects, including $44.2 million for the
rst planning and construction phase of
a 576-bed jail and $9.7 million for ten-
ant and seismic improvements to Circle
Star South which will house county
departments including 911 dispatch.
The budget also adds in millions of
dollars in additional funding including
$2.7 million in public safety realign-
ment, $3.4 million to provide sheriffs
patrol services to the city of Millbrae
and $1.5 million in negotiated salary
and benet increases. The last addition
is primarily step increases for certain
employees and negotiated raises for
nurses.
Aside from balancing the current
budget, the county is also using a ve-
year approach to eliminating a structur-
al decit on course to hit $41 million by
2016-2017 if left untouched.
Maltbie requested a July workshop to
discuss possible reorganization of how
the county does its work and uses its
resources.
The world we live in today is so dif-
ferent than the world in which the coun-
ty was formed, he said.
The entire recommended budget is
available at www.smcgov.org/budget
and the County Managers Ofce, 400

BUDGET
poised to make even more difcult cuts
and permanently reform welfare.
A vote of the Legislature will take
place next week.
Although Democrats passed the main
budget bill on a majority vote last week,
the governor pressed for deeper cuts to
welfare and other social services amid a
projected $15.7 billion shortfall. Brown
has until Wednesday to sign or veto the
main bill.
We have a good deal with the gover-
nor, said Assembly Budget Committee
Chairman Bob Blumenfield, D--
Woodland Hills. We were 99 percent
there with the governor before. He took
our bills, he still was pushing to go a lit-
tle bit further, and we were willing to
work with him and try to work out some
of the details, and weve done it.
Other Democrats in the Assembly
declined to comment, referring ques-
tions to Speaker John Perez, D-Los
Angeles, who also declined to comment.
Democrats have majorities in both the
Assembly and Senate, and can pass the
budget without needing any Republican
votes. Republicans have been shut out
of the budget negotiations and did not
immediately comment on the pending
agreement.
We cant comment on something we
havent seen. We havent seen any lan-
guage at all, said Bill Bird, spokesman
for Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff,
R-Diamond Bar.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said the
agreement makes changes to four social
programs to minimize the impact on the
poor.
Democrats agreed to phase in federal
work requirements after two years, but
convinced the governor to drop his pro-
posal to cut cash grants to the poor, a
move that Democrats in the Legislature
had feared would push families into
homelessness. The two sides agreed to
reduce funding for child care and sus-
pend cost of living increases starting in
2013.
They also agreed to shift some
880,000 children from the Healthy
Families program to Medi-Cal, a move
they say will save on administrative
funds. Steinberg said legislative negotia-
tors also prevented deeper cuts to in-
home support for now, but will negotiate
more savings in the future.

CANBERRA, Australia A search contin-
ued Friday for scores of men still missing
after a boat carrying about 200 suspected asy-
lum seekers bound for Australia capsized in
heavy seas south of Indonesia.
Indonesian and Australian navies as well as
civilian ships and aircraft had joined the
search for around 90 people still missing after
the tragedy Thursday.
All aboard the vessel were male, Home
Affairs Minister Jason Clare said Friday.
An Australian navy patrol boat and three
cargo ships had rescued 110 survivors
including a 13-year-old boy by late
Thursday and were taking them 200 kilome-
ters (120 miles) south to the Australian terri-
tory of Christmas Island, Clare said.
The bodies of another three were also
recovered from the water, Australian
Maritime Safety Authority spokeswoman Jo
Meehan said.
Clare said while seas were rough, people
could have survived if they had life jackets or
were clinging to debris as most survivors had
done.
There is the prospect that there are people
out there still alive, he told reporters.
He said about 40 survivors had been found
clinging to the upturned hull on Thursday
afternoon, while others were discovered cling-
ing to debris up to 6 kilometers (4 miles) from
the scene.
Clare said the boat had initially called
Australian rescue authorities early Wednesday
to report being in distress 70 kilometers (44
miles) south of the main Indonesian island of
Java. Australian authorities advised the crew
to return to Indonesia and reported their situa-
tion to their Indonesian counterparts, he said.
The boat capsized about halfway between
Christmas Island and Indonesia.
Authorities have not conrmed where the
men were from, but Australian Broadcasting
Corp. reports they are thought to be from Sri
Lanka.
Christmas Island, in the Indian Ocean, is
closer to Indonesia than the Australian main-
land. It is a popular target for a growing num-
ber of asylum seekers, many from Iran,
Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, who attempt to
reach Australia on overcrowded shing boats
from Indonesia sometimes with deadly
consequences.
90 still missing after boat capsizes off Indonesia

CAIRO Egypts media are
demonizing the Muslim
Brotherhood as the states worst
enemy, claiming the fundamentalist
group plans to plunge the country
into chaos if its candidate does not
emerge as the winner from the pres-
idential runoff.
Results of the weekend election
were set to be announced Thursday,
but ofcials postponed the declara-
tion, setting off a wave of charges of
manipulation aimed at all sides,
including the ruling military.
The Brotherhood escalated its
ght with the military, calling for a
mass protest Friday to denounce
what it called a power grab by the
generals. Three major Islamist
groups said Thursday they would
join the protest in Tahrir Square,
birthplace of the uprising that forced
Hosni Mubarak out of ofce last
year.
Thousands of protesters, mostly
Islamists, gathered in Tahrir
Thursday for the third successive
day.
Protesters demanded the rein-
statement of the Islamist-dominated
parliament dissolved by a court rul-
ing last week. They also called on
the military to rescind a constitu-
tional declaration granting the gen-
erals sweeping powers and stripping
the next president of much of his
authority.
