The Coastside Fire Protection
District board voted 3-2 Tuesday
night to hire a new re chief and
start the process of re-establishing a
locally controlled municipal fire
department on the coast.
The California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection cur-
rently provides the service on the
coast but the contract expires in
June 2013.
Board members Doug
Mackintosh, Mike Alifano and Gary
Riddell voted for a series of resolu-
tions that will start the process of
putting a new fire department
together while Gary Burke and
Ginny McShane voted against the
proposals.
The board voted to approve a
salaries and benets resolution for a
stand-alone Coastside Fire
Department and gave direction to
legal counsel to start the process of
hiring a re chief at the six-hour
Tuesday night meeting.
We are nally to the point where
we can move forward on starting a
brand-new re department. Once
we hire a re chief he/she can then
work at the pleasure of the CFPD
re board to create a transition plan
to move from Cal Fire to a new re
department, Alifano wrote the
Daily Journal in an email.
The board is moving to re-estab-
lish a stand-alone re department
after the San Mateo County Civil
Grand Jury reported that Cal Fire
served the coast well and that the
board should not seek to form a new
department.
Meanwhile, San Mateo County

Church has approved recall peti-

Budget spells
big questions
for education
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
California may have an on-time
budget but funding for school dis-
tricts remains in the hands of voters
this November.
Gov. Jerry Brown signed a budget
last week that relies on passing a tax
initiative in November to fully fund
education. If the proposal fails,
schools and community colleges
will see a $5.4 billion reduction.
That equates to a loss of about $458
per student in kindergarten through
high school. Locally, districts were
asked to approve budgets that
planned for the loss. While many
have the resources to cover a one-
time cut, education ofcials warn
the funding loss will be ongoing.
The plans
vary from district
to district
some have nego-
tiated or will
negotiate with
their teacher
unions to reduce
the school year;
others will make
mid-year cuts to
classified staff; others have (set
aside) the $457 as a potential cut;
others are able to tap into reserves,
said County Superintendent Anne
Campbell.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Height isnt normally an attribute one asso-
ciates with playing chess well, but its come in
handy for 16-year-old Daniel Naroditsky in
recent years.
Naroditskys been a serious chess player for
years, earning him the right to sit at the table
across from other impressive players.
Thankfully, the Foster City teen has grown a
bit in the last few years which allows him to
take on older players without the use of a
booster seat. He laughed Monday while not-
ing hes grown a bit and no longer passes for
a 10-year-old, which helps when he goes to
play.
Playing on despite unique chess challenges
has earned Naroditsky access into some won-
derful tournaments. Later this month, for
example, hell travel to St. Louis, Mo. to com-
pete in the 2012 U.S. Jr. Chess
Championships. A few days after, Naroditsky
will head to Montreal to take part in an open
tournament.
Its the thrill of playing the game thats kept
the junior at Crystal Springs Uplands School
interested.
Chess is its own world, Naroditsky said.
That world has allowed Naroditsky to travel
internationally, play a host
of players with different
skill levels and back-
grounds and review his
own mistakes to improve
upon his game.
Naroditsky was born in
San Mateo and began play-
ing chess at 6 and a half
years old against his father
Vladimir and his older
brother Alan.
One year later, Naroditsky won his rst
tournament in Burlingame. Naroditsky soon
realized he was pretty good at chess. Hes
come a long way since that rst tournament
spending years as a number one rated player
in the United States in his age category and a
member of the All-America Chess Team
created in 1987 to honor the best chess play-
ers ages 18 and younger.
As with all challenges, continuing to
improve takes dedication. Its been harder to
focus during the school year as school
becomes more challenging. Now in high
school, Naroditsky uses summer as a time to
focus on chess.
Naroditsky began playing internationally in
2005. In France, he took fth place in the boys
under 10 division. The following year,
Naroditsky won the bronze medal at the Pan-
American Youth Chess Festival in Cuenca,
Ecuador in the boys under 12 division. In
2007, he became the world champion in the
boys under 12 division in Antalya, Turkey.
The victory earned him the title of Federation
Internationale des Echecs Master. Naroditsky
earned two National Scholastic
Championships, three California Scholastic
Championships and, in 2007, won the High
School Scholastic Championship of Northern
California. In 2011, he earned an internation-
al master title. Naroditsky attributed the note-
worthy title to studying from home freshman
year and really focusing on chess. Now only
one title alludes him international grand-
master.
Along with his numerous trophies, which
are proudly on display when you visit his
home, Naroditsky is ranked as a national mas-
ter a title earned by U.S. players who have
achieved a ranking over 2200. Naroditsky cur-
rently has a 2552 ranking in the United States
Chess Federation.
Despite his big dreams, Naroditsky does not
want to become a professional. He does plan
to maintain chess as a hobby. Dont worry,
Naroditsky doesnt spend all his free time
staring at chess pieces. He enjoys getting out
to hang out with friends and play basketball.

SAN FRANCISCO The states largest col-
lege could close after state accreditation evalua-
tors gave the school just eight months to prove
it has a viable survival plan.
The nancially struggling City College of
San Francisco was ordered Tuesday to make
preparations for closure. The Accrediting
Commission for Community and Junior
Colleges cited leadership weaknesses at all
levels as a reason that its accreditation is in
jeopardy.
Schools must be accredited to receive public
funding, and the college would likely close
without those funds. The commission could
vote as early as June to pull the schools certi-
cation. About 90,000 students attend the
school.
City College of San Francisco must prove to
the commission that it should retain its accredi-
tation. The schools action plan is due Oct. 15.
During the show cause period, the col-
lege must make preparations for closure
according to the commissions policy,
Barbara Beno, the commission president
wrote in a letter to the school. While the col-
lege has seen reduced funding in recent years,
Beno said all schools in the state have faced
similar problems, yet only three of the states
112 community colleges are in precarious
positions.

Pawn shop
helps nab burglars
Five people, including three juve-

The crime began at approximate-
ly 1:22 p.m. July 3 when South San
Francisco police responded to a
report of a residential burglary on
the first block of Estate Court.
There, police found evidence the
three juveniles entered the resi-
dence through an unlocked rear
kitchen window and stole several
items including jewelry and coins
worth about $25,000, according to
police.
The three juveniles then met up
with two adults, Andres Hernandez,
30, and Xavier Johnson, 18, who
took the merchandise to a local
pawn shop, according to police.
Judge freezes
use of disputed
49ers stadium funds
SACRAMENTO A
Sacramento judge has frozen the
spending of a disputed $30 million
originally earmarked for the San
Francisco 49ers new stadium in
Santa Clara.
Sacramento Superior Court Judge
Lloyd Connelly on Tuesday issued a
temporary restraining order, barring
use of the funds until the matter is
settled.
The dispute arose after a Santa
Clara County board responsible for
allocating redevelopment funds said
the money should be used for more
pressing community needs like
schools.
The 49ers argue the money is
legally theirs because it was allotted
by voters in 2010 to help build the
$1.2 billion stadium. The city of
Santa Clara, where the stadium is
being built, agrees.

WASHINGTON If you have
military-age children who have not
served in this decades wars, then
you owe a debt meaning money
to those who did. Thats the
premise of a new fundraising effort
by three wealthy American families
who want to help U.S. veterans of
the conflicts in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
Every non-military family should
give something, they said. The afu-
ent should give large sums. No one
should think of it as charity, but
rather a moral obligation, an alterna-
tive way to serve, perhaps the price
of being spared the anxiety that
comes with having a loved one in a
war zone.
We have three able-bodied, won-
derful, wonderful children, all of
whom are devoted to doing very,
very good things around social jus-
tice; and we could not be more
proud of them, said Philip Green, a
local businessman who devised the
fundraising idea. Were also
delighted that none of them had to
serve in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Green says he and his wife came
to look at that as unfair: I realized
that there were parents just like me
down the street, down the block ...
who did not have that luxury and
were suffering sleepless nights and
anxiety, which I was able to
avoid.
Green, president of health care
consultancy PDG Consulting, and
his wife Dr. Elizabeth Cobbs, head
of geriatrics at Veterans Affairs
Medical Center in Washington,
teamed with two other couples to
start the fund-raising. Together, they
donated a total of $1.1 million.

By Paul Larson

MILLBRAE I
recently attended a
family funeral in
Southern California.
The burial took
place at a long
established Catholic
Cemetery which
later decided to build a Mortuary facility on
their property. I knew from past experience
that this cemetery was well maintained and
had a good reputation. The immediate
family had other loved-ones buried at the
cemetery and wished to return this time too.
With the knowledge that this cemetery had a
Mortuary on the grounds they trusted it to be
convenient and decided to have this facility
handle the funeral arrangements.
Prior to the funeral I had some phone
contact with the Mortuary staff and saw
nothing out of the ordinary. But soon after I
spoke to family members who relayed
troubling details such as higher than average
costs, questionable service and other
apprehensions that raised a red-fag. I
listened carefully taking into consideration
that funerals and arrangements may be
conducted differently in Southern California
(as compared to here on the Peninsula).
Later though I discovered that these
concerns and others were all valid as I
experienced them myself during the funeral.
Coming from the background of owning
a family run and community supportive
funeral home I was embarrassed at what I
saw as a production line process with little
compassion or time to care for the families
this Mortuary is supposed to be serving.
I wondered how the Catholic Church
could allow this Mortuary to operate in such
a manner? Well, I did some research and
discovered that the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles has mortuaries located on a
number of their cemetery properties, but
does not operate them. According to the
Funeral Consumers Alliance of Southern
California the Archdiocese has an
arrangement with Stewart Enterprises
which is a New Orleans based mortuary
corporation. Stewart Enterprises runs a
website called Catholic Mortuaries.com
giving a misleading impression to many that
the Catholic Church operates these facilities.
When patronizing one of these
mortuaries on Catholic cemetery grounds
most families assume that they will be
receiving a level of comfort as they would
from their local church or parish priest.
None of this was evident during my
experience of extremely high costs
(compared to what was received) and the
dis-interested service provided by the
mortuary staff. I dont see this as a failing
of the Catholic cemetery, but of those in
charge of running this mortuary.
The point Im trying to make is to do
your homework and shop for a Funeral
establishment you are comfortable with.
Just because a Mortuary is located on
cemetery property doesnt mean they are
your only choice or that they offer fair costs
or give better quality ofservice. You have
the right to select what ever funeral home
you wish to conduct the arrangements. Talk
to various funeral directors, and ask friends
and families who they would recommend.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

MOUNT VERNON, Va.
George Washington never had air
conditioning, but he knew how to
keep cool: a mansion with lots of
windows elevated on the banks of a
wide, rolling river and lots of ice
cream, maybe with a little brandy.
It was a little like the old days
without electricity Wednesday, as
the nations capital region celebrat-
ed Independence Day the better part
of a week into a widespread black-
out that left millions of residents
sweltering in 90-plus degree heat
without air conditioning. Utilities
have slowly been restoring service
knocked out by a freak storm Friday
from the Midwest to the Mid-
Atlantic, and at least 26 people have
died in the storm or its aftermath.

Vernon estate, one of the most pop-
ular Fourth of July attractions was a
demonstration of 18th-century ice
cream making, one of Washingtons
favorite desserts. Historical inter-
preters Gail Cassidy and Anette
Ahrens showed the crowds how
cocoa beans were roasted and
ground into a paste for chocolate ice
cream, made using ice hauled up in
massive blocks from the Potomac
River and stored underground to last
as long into the summer as possible.
As for beverages, Washington
was no stranger to alcohol, enjoying
imported Madeira wine from Spain,
distilling his own whiskey and
enjoying a fruity brandy cocktail
called Cherry Bounce.
Washington was his own architect
at Mount Vernon, and he was very
good at it, said Dennis Pogue,
associate director for preservation at
Mount Vernon. The piazza, which
runs the length of the mansion, is
kind of California living in the
18th century, Pogue said.
The location, atop a sloping hill
along the Potomac, catches cool
breezes. Lots of windows and shut-
ters allow for the regulation of sun
and wind. And the distinctive cupo-
la on the mansion roof serves as the
mansions air conditioning unit,
funneling hot air out the top and
drawing cooler air in at the ground
level.
Visitors on Wednesday gathered
on the mansions back porch, a
piazza overlooking the Potomac
where breezes rolled through.
It feels good out here. Its the
same thing we do in Texas, said
Chris Moore of Austin, Texas, sit-
ting with his wife, Dina. The two
had come to Virginia to see their son
graduate from ofcer training at The
Basic School at Quantico Marine
Corps Base.
Moore said he opted for the
smaller crowds at Mount Vernon as
opposed to the massive Fourth of
July Celebration on the National
Mall because it afforded a better
place to relax and contemplate the
founding of the nation, especially
since Mount Vernon on Wednesday
hosted a naturalization ceremony
for 100 new citizens from 47 differ-
ent countries.
This place is incredible. Its just
the kind of place that people need to
see, he said, noting the divided
nature of the countrys current poli-
tics. We all need to step back and
look at where we started.
Up the river in Washington,
President Barack Obama also
attended a naturalization ceremony
at the White House, this one for
active service members from 17
countries. Military families were
invited for a barbecue and to watch
reworks on the South Lawn.
Obama said the varied back-
grounds of those taking the oath
typied Americas long tradition of
welcoming immigrants from around
the world to its shores.
Unless you are one of the rst
Americans, a native American, we
are all descended from folks who
came from somewhere else, he
said. The story of immigrants in
America isnt a story of them. Its a
story of us.
Presumptive GOP presidential
candidate Mitt Romney has spent
most of the week off the campaign
trail with his family in in

Wednesday to march in the towns
Fourth of July parade.
In New York, about a dozen dis-
abled soldiers most triple or
quadruple amputees visited
ground zero ahead of the usual
throng of tourists. The visit was
intended to salute service members
who survived the post-9/11 wars to
become miracles of modern medi-
cine, and to promote two charities
raising money for homes custom-
built to ease their burdens.

Scalia critics say justice
too political last term
WASHINGTON Justice Antonin Scalia
drew unusually critical attention during this
past Supreme Court term for comments he
made in court and in his writing that seemed
to some more political than judicial.
His dissent in the Arizona immigration case
contained a harsh assessment of the Obama
administrations immigration policy and
prompted a public rebuke from a fellow
Republican-appointed judge.
Scalias aggressive demeanor during argu-
ment sessions even earned
him some gentle teasing
from his closest personal
friend on the court. Justice

convention, said the terms

WASHINGTON A majority of econo-
mists in the latest Associated Press Economy
Survey expect the national unemployment rate
to stay above 6 percent the upper bounds of
whats considered healthy for at least four
more years.
If the economists are correct, the job market
will still be unhealthy seven years after the
Great Recession ofcially ended in June 2009.
That would be the longest stretch of high
unemployment since the end of World War II.
And it means the job market and the econo-
my President Barack Obamas main politi-
cal threats would remain big challenges in
either a second Obama term or President Mitt
Romneys rst term.
The election isnt going to be a miracle
cure for the unemployment rate thats for
sure, says Sean Snaith, an economics profes-
sor at the University of Central Florida. He
thinks unemployment, which is 8.2 percent
now, wont drop back to 6 percent until after
2016.
Economists consider a normal level to be
between 5 percent and 6 percent.
The economists surveyed by the AP foresee
an unemployment rate of 8 percent on Election
Day. That would be the highest rate any post-
war president running for re-election has faced.
The survey results come before the govern-
ment reports Friday on hiring during June.
Fears about the economy escalated after U.S.
employers added just 69,000 jobs in May, the
fewest in a year and the third straight month of
weak job growth.
The AP survey collected the views late last
month from 32 private, corporate and academ-
ic economists on a range of issues. Among their
views:
The economy will continue to grow only
slowly. The average forecast for the April-June
period is that GDP grew at an annual rate of 2
percent. Thats down from a 2.4 percent fore-
cast in April. The economists think the rate in
the nal six months of the year will be just 2.3
percent. Thats too weak to bring the unem-
ployment rate down.
Monthly job gains will average 139,000 the
rest of this year barely enough to keep up
with population growth and prevent unemploy-
ment from worsening. In their forecast in April,
the economists predicted average monthly job
gains of 189,000.

reduction in days if funding decreases, said
Chief Business Official Raul Parungao.
Redwood City stands to lose $4.1 million if the
tax measure fails, which could mean 14 fewer
days of school. Part of the budget law allows
districts to cut the school year by up to 15 days.
However, the district still needs to come to a
contract agreement with other contracted
groups before it could reduce the number of
days.
Redwood City has had the option, through a
contract agreement, to cut days if funding
drops but has yet to use it, said Parungao.
The Millbrae Elementary School District, on
the other hand, doesnt have such a negotiated
agreement. Its been working with a slim budg-
et for years. A large mid-year cut would be
challenging going forward.
There are no more programs to cut, Chief
Business Ofcial Wendy Richard said at a
recent board study session. To make a sub-
stantial cut, the only thing we have left is staff.
Should the district reduce the number of
school days, Board President Jay Price
expressed concern that it would create inequity
issues between local districts.
Both San Carlos and the Burlingame
Elementary school districts created budgets
with money set aside for the worst case sce-
nario.
Burlingame Superintendent Maggie
MacIssac said the challenge will be in future
years. While the district set aside funds for a
possible mid-year cut in the upcoming school
year, the loss will continue in coming years.
It would be devastating. We would need to
do things very differently, said MacIssac,
adding the community would need to discuss
making hard choices like possibly increasing
class sizes.
Thus far, Burlingame has been able to main-
tain an average class size of 22 without asking
for furlough days, she said.
Liz McManus, deputy superintendent of
business services for the San Mateo Union
High School District, agreed. The loss in fund-
ing would be horrendous, she said. The high
school districts loss would be an estimated
$3.5 million, which has been set aside.
McManus noted many districts have larger
amounts of money set aside since the state con-
tinues to create situations in which the money
may be cut mid-year, creating an additional
challenge when budgeting.
In San Bruno, the district is expected to lose
more than $1 million should the bond measures
fail, according to a recent staff report on the
budget. That loss could be compounded for the
district which has been decit spending for
years. It is considering placing a parcel tax on
the November ballot but the amount and dura-
tion are still undetermined.

BAGHDAD Whenever he
leaves his home, Mohammed Jabar, a
Sunni Muslim, carries his cellphone
so his family can nd out quickly
whether he is safe if a deadly bomb
attack hits. Shukria Mahmud, anoth-
er Sunni, rarely ventures from her
house because of the rash of violence
that is gripping Iraq.
Laith Hashim, a young Shiite
Muslim, is considering moving away
from Iraq if security continues to dis-
integrate. Such a breakdown, he
fears, would spark a new round of
bitter sectarian ghting of the kind
that brought the nation to the brink of
civil war just a few years ago.
Tensions simmer between Iraqs
Sunni and Shiite communities, yet
they share an increasingly wide-
spread despair. Al-Qaida-style
attacks are on the rise, faith in the
governments ability to keep people
safe is on the wane and a fatalistic
acceptance of a life of fear is perni-
ciously settling in.
Nine years after the U.S. led an
invasion of Iraq that overthrew dicta-
tor Saddam Hussein purging the
leadership and military of his sup-
porters and leading to a ght against
insurgents in a bloody guerrilla war
that left more than 100,000 dead
Iraqs outlook is increasingly bleak in
summer 2012.
Instead of a Western-style democ-
racy functioning in peace and cooper-
ation, whats been left behind is dys-
functional and increasingly violent.
Many of the attacks of the past month
have targeted Shiites on annual reli-
gious pilgrimages, raising fears of a
return to the deadly cycle of destruc-
tive violence between Sunni and
Shiite communities.
The Sunnis should be warned that
there will be retaliation if the attacks
against Shiites continue, Hashim,
18, said Wednesday in Baghdads
Sadr City neighborhood. The impov-
erished area in the capitals northeast
is home to the Shiite Mahdi Army
militia that battled al-Qaida during
Iraqs darkest days between 2006 and
2008. Patience cant last forever,
he warned.
Iraqi ofcials and experts say wor-
ries of an impending blowup is exact-
ly what Sunni extremists linked to al-
Qaida are banking on. Dozens of
bloody bombings and drive-by shoot-
ings that have killed 286 people over
the past four weeks, including 11 on
Wednesday, bear the terrorist net-
works hallmarks.
Iraqis face long future of fear as attacks mount
By John Heilprin
GENEVA Scientists at the
worlds biggest atom smasher
hailed the discovery of the missing
cornerstone of physics Wednesday,
cheering the apparent end of a
decades-long quest for a new sub-
atomic particle called the Higgs
boson, or God particle, which
could help explain why all matter
has mass and crack open a new
realm of subatomic science.
First proposed as a theory in the
1960s, the maddeningly elusive
Higgs had been hunted by at least
two generations of physicists who
believed it would help shape our
understanding of how the universe
began and how its most elemental
pieces t together.
As the highly technical ndings
were announced by two independ-
ent teams involving more than
5,000 researchers, the usually
sedate corridors of the European
Center for Nuclear Research, or
CERN, erupted in frequent applause
and standing ovations. Physicists
who spent their careers in pursuit of
the particle shed tears.
The new particle appears to share
many of the same qualities as the
one predicted by Scottish physicist
Peter Higgs and others and is per-
haps the biggest accomplishment at
CERN since its founding in 1954
outside Geneva along the Swiss-
French border.
Rolf Heuer, director of CERN,
said the newly discovered particle is
a boson, but he stopped just shy of
claiming outright that it is the Higgs
boson itself an extremely ne
distinction.

ofcial said Wednesday.
The number of insider attacks
against foreign forces in Afghanistan
has increased this year, undermining
the trust between allies and efforts to
prepare Afghan troops to take over
their own security as international
combat troops prepare to withdraw.
The U.S.-led coalition conrmed
in a statement that a number of its
service members were shot and
wounded by a man in an Afghan
army uniform Tuesday in Wardak
provinces Sayed Abad district. It
said Wednesday that the service
members were being treated at a
medical facility but did provide
details.

WHAT IS THE GOD PARTICLE ANYWAY?
School physics teaches that everything is made
up of atoms, and inside atoms are electrons,
protons and neutrons.They, in turn, are made of
quarks and other subatomic particles. Scientists
have long puzzled over how these minute
building blocks of the universe acquire mass.
Without mass, particles wouldnt hold together
and there would be no matter.
One theory proposed by British physicist Peter
Higgs and teams in Belgium and the United
States in the 1960s is that a new particle must
be creating a stickyeld that acts as a drag on
other particles.The atom-smashing experiments
at CERN, the European Center for Nuclear
Research, have now captured a glimpse of what
appears to be just such a Higgs-like particle.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
The Higgs is part of many theoretical equations
underpinning scientists understanding of how
the world came into being. If it doesnt exist, then
those theories would need to be fundamentally
overhauled.The fact that it apparently does exist
means scientists have been on the right track
with their theories. But theres a twist: the
measurements seem to diverge slightly from
what would be expected under the so-called
Standard Model of particle physics.This is exciting
for scientists because it opens the possibility to
potential new discoveries including a theory
known as super-symmetry where particles
dont just come in pairs think matter and anti-
matter but quadruplets, all with slightly
different characteristics.
HOW MUCH DID IT COST?
CERNs atom smasher, the Large Hadron Collider,
alone cost some $10 billion to build and run.This
includes the salaries of thousands of scientists
and support staff around the world who
collaborated on the two experiments that
independently pursued the Higgs.
WERETHEREANYPRACTICALRESULTSFROM
THE SEARCH?
Not directly. But the massive scientic effort that
led up to the discovery has paid off in other ways,
one of which was the creation of the World Wide
Web. CERN scientists developed it to make it
easier to exchange information among each
other. The vast computing power needed to
crunch all of the data produced by the atom
smasher has also boosted the development of
distributed or cloud computing, which is
now making its way into mainstream services.
Advances in solar energy capture, medical
imaging and proton therapy used in the ght
against cancer have also resulted from the
work of particle physicists at CERN and
elsewhere.

Doctor appeals charges
Criminal charges were stalled the
week of July 6, 2007 for the
Colorado doctor who approved and
lled an online Prozac subscription
for a 19-year-old Stanford student
who later committed suicide while
his defense appealed the decision he
could have been tried in San Mateo
County for practicing medicine
without a license.
In May 2007, an appellate court
held that Dr. Christian Ellis
Hageseth III, 65, could be prosecut-
ed and prosecutors expected him to
appear in San Mateo County on a
$500,000 arrest warrant.
Hageseth, however, decided to
ght the decision and appealed the
ruling to the California Supreme
Court, said defense attorney Carl
Briggs.
The charge practicing medi-
cine without a California license
could have been applied to thou-
sands of doctors who offer online
prescriptions or telephone consulta-
tions, Briggs said.
In June 2005, John McKay, a
freshman at Stanford University and
former student at Menlo-Atherton
High School, purchased 90 capsules
of generic Prozac via credit card at
the online pharmacy site
USAnewRX.com which was then
shipped from the Mississippi-based
Gruich Pharmacy Shoppe.
Online sites like the one used by
McKay do not require a physical
examination prior to receiving a
prescription. Instead, the buyer lls
out an online questionnaire which a
doctor is supposed to review before
signing off on the drugs.
Track gets reprieve
Bay Meadows race track was
allowed to have a 2008 race season
to save 500 jobs and tax revenue
local governments receive, the
California Horse Racing Board
ruled the week of July 6, 2007.
The board voted 5-0 to allow rac-
ing in 2008 at the San Mateo race
track despite its refusal to install
synthetic turf. It reverses a March
2007 decision by the board to not
grant a two-year waiver. Bay
Meadows felt it unnecessary to
spend $8 million to $10 million
when the facility is slated for demo-
lition and renovation. It requested
the waiver earlier in the year, but
the board denied it, leaving the last
scheduled race for Nov. 4, 2007.
As a result, Bay Meadows was
slated to close early, eliminating
more than 500 jobs and the tax rev-
enue for local governments the
track provides.
Burlingame
fence installation begins
Nearly 4,000 feet of high-security
fencing was set to be installed south
of Burlingames Broadway station
to Oak Grove Avenue as part of an
overall effort to discourage pedestri-
ans from crossing the tracks, it was
reported the week of July 6, 2007.
Crews installed fencing at select-
ed locations along the Caltrain cor-
ridor in San Mateo County and the
largest single installation was in
Burlingame.
Safety concerns were heightened
after Fatih Kuc, a 13-year-old from
Burlingame, was killed April 18,
2006 as he crossed the tracks. The
proposed fencing would act as a
deterrent, hopefully preventing sim-
ilar situations.
More than $1.1 million was to be
spent to construct fencing in 2007
as part of a program forecast to
invest more than $7 million in fenc-
ing.
The locations were selected based
on a number of factors, including
the incidence of trespassing by
pedestrians, such as taking short
cuts across the tracks, and the
opportunity to close gaps in exist-
ing fencing. Caltrain sought recom-
mendations from locomotive engi-
neers and transit police, as well as
cities along the rail corridor about
what they considered to be priority.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
Chicago Tribune
C
ongress has reached a one-year deal
to keep interest rates on federal stu-
dent loans from doubling for mil-
lions of Americans. Republicans and
Democrats said all along they wanted a deal
to happen, and so did we. It would have been
arbitrary and unfair to double loan rates all at
once, especially with interest rates in the pri-
vate sector at record lows.
This should prompt debate on a critical
question, though: Do low-cost, government-
guaranteed loans drive tuition and fees high-
er? Would college be less expensive if loans
werent so cheap?
The research to date has not proved a
causal connection between easy money and
skyrocketing tuition. But that would be logi-
cal: When demand rises and supply does not,
prices rise. Government-assisted loans boost
the buying power of students, but the benet
to students is limited if those loans prompt
college tuition to rise.
This much we know: Demand has risen.
America invests billions of dollars in nan-
cial aid every year. Student loan debt has
grown to exceed credit-card debt. Young lives
are being forever altered by the burden of ris-
ing education costs.
In 1987, then-Secretary of Education
William Bennett shook up the higher-educa-
tion orthodoxy by asserting that government
nancial aid helped to push tuition higher.
The Bennett hypothesis is invoked in
media coverage and policy debates today.
It is difcult to isolate the effect of govern-
ment-based aid, in part because there are so
many higher education options and price
points.
The balance sheets of Princeton and
Harvard, with their huge donor-supported
endowments, have little in common with
those of the least-selective private schools.
Some states are exploring alternative ways
to nance an education. California, for exam-
ple, might allow students to pay for their
schooling by pledging a portion of their
future earnings.
Congress, for now, has avoided a jolt for
students with the deal on interest rates. It
could help students in the long run make bet-
ter decisions if it pushed for transparency by
educators and a loan system based on gen-
uine demand.
Dead cat bounce
Editor,
Soon, the Legislature will pass, and the
governor will approve, spending $2.7 billion
on high-speed rail. Its a time-honored tradi-
tion of politicians to bring home the pork.
The Legislatures leadership produced the
list of chops to bacon, while the Legislative
Counsel kept the frying pan greased.
The winners in Sacramentos fact-free
zone will congratulate themselves on their
new vision for California; crow over how
they defeated the defeatists and brag on
about how they kept former Speaker Pelosis
promise to create one million well-paying
jobs from this project.
But bragging rights end about there. Does
this bit of No Train To Nowhere and grab
some bucks for public transit solve
Californias scal crisis, build a stronger
education base to make the state more com-
petitive in a global economy, or will it bring
back public safety, social services or essen-
tial functions of cash-strapped or bankrupt
local governments?
As weve learned four times in the last
year, Sacramento has developed a tin ear to
the majority of Californians who want the
project stopped. But that doesnt change pol-
itics as usual in our one-party-takes-all state.
To those politicians whose stock-in-trade
is pork, and cheer the start of this con-
tentious, doomed project without the
prospect of more federal funding but with
the assurance of no private investment,
remember two things. In November, you
want both a tax for schools and your choo-
choo, and a free-falling stock sometimes
takes a dead cat bounce.

None of the above
Editor,
You got to scratch your head and ask what
Gov. Jerry Brown and Senate President
Darrell Steinberg are doing in Sacramento.
These two are at-out extortionists. First, they
take education hostage by tying direct cuts to
schools in case a tax hike is not approved by
voters in November. Our governor and
Democratic Legislature are willing to put
education cuts on the block because they
know how important schools are to voters.
Why didnt they pit the vote for higher
taxes against automatic pension reform or
other state programs that voters are more than
willing to cut? They know that education is
the one thing the good people of California
are unwilling to cut further thats why.
Folks, this is the only choice our state gov-
ernment is giving us. To vote against tax
increases is to vote against education. This is
how the argument for new taxes is being
framed, and these two savvy politicians know
exactly what they are doing.
Next, they refuse to give high-speed rail
funding a straight up or down vote. They tie
other transportation projects into one massive
vote because they know high-speed rail can-
not stand on its own. The other projects that
are now being tied to high-speed rail are
much more popular, nancially practical and
receive greater public support. These projects
are now being held hostage and tied to high-
speed rail to make it harder for legislators to
vote no on a project we do not want and can-
not afford.
It is time that voters dig deeper and ques-
tion the choices that the governor and
Legislature are giving us. You have to ask
yourself: Who do the politicians in
Sacramento represent? If you answer big
labor, not the taxpayer, you are right on the
money.

A quiet day in Burlingame
Editor,
Today, as I walked around my neighbor-
hood I heard many sounds. I heard birds
singing and trees rustling in the breeze. I
heard neighbors talking and kids playing.
The air was clean and the owers smelled
more fragrant than usual. Lawn mowers,
trimmers and leaf blowers were silent and
nowhere to be found. I didnt cough once or
nd it necessary to cross the street to avoid
the pollution in the air. Thanks to the coura-
geous and unanimous decision by the
Burlingame City Council to limit leaf blower
use it was a wonderfully peaceful walk!

Response to
Obama and immigration
Editor,
Concerning the letter Obama and immi-
gration published in the June 29 edition of
the Daily Journal, I have to tell letter writer
Rachel Gardner, who calls herself a liberal
Democrat, that she can never become a con-
servative.
It takes extremely rigid thinking to be a
conservative, of which a liberal is incapable.
My grandparents came here from Europe
around 1900. If they did not work, they
would have starved in the streets. I do not
feel that we taxpayers should be supporting
illegal immigrants either. But since our coun-
try is owned by corporations and the super
wealthy, who are denitely not liberals, I
would hesitate to give up the only thing they

Hats off
O
h, say can you see the inequity? The
national anthem swells, the crowd
typically at a sporting event
rises to its feet to pay tribute before (hopeful-
ly) watching ones
team squash the
other, men remove
their caps, some
place them over
their hearts and
vocal ranges and
abilities of all
types come togeth-
er.
And the women?
They might be
willing to lend
their altos and
sopranos to the
collective choir but a great majority apparent-
ly dont feel obliged to pay respect by remov-
ing their caps. Since when is patriotism lop-
sided?
This etiquette breach is one of those situa-
tions that boil my blood or at least heats it
to a steady simmer every time it occurs,
which during summer baseball season is fairly
often. The same reaction happens with the
Pledge of Allegiance although that recital
tends to happen indoors where nobody should
be wearing hats and fewer actually do.
Ironically, the ag, the song and our country
stand for freedom of expression. Fair enough.
But chewing with ones mouth open and inter-
rupting others could also be considered signs
of individualism. That doesnt make it decent.
While saying the pledge or singing the
anthem, the crowd shares a moment of unity
and those who do not remove their hats are
deliberately choosing not to participate. They
might as well not even stand.
I admittedly give a pass to women whose
hat seems to be tied up in some intricate hair-
style with the ponytail through the back open-
ing or some other sort of design that probably
took hours and a lot of product to create and
which would be undoubtedly squashed once a
removed cap was plopped back on top of their
head. Little girls, too, cant be knocked too
hard because they assumedly dont know any
better unless, of course, they have parents
or others in their circle who make a point to
pass on the knowledge.
But even with these reluctantly allowed
loopholes, why do women think they are any
less compelled to act appropriately before the
ag and The Star-Spangled Banner?
A friend listening to my grumbling after a
recent incident compared the uneven etiquette
to Catholicism which once required women to
cover their hair upon entering their house of
worship. That tradition has largely fallen to
the wayside. Could the unspoken custom of
removing ones hat at events or even indoors
be the same?
I argue not.
If anything, the acceptance of women not
removing their caps is what should be headed
for extinction. Dont get me wrong; feminism
aside, there are some old-fashioned notions I
can selshly still get behind. Open my door?
Pay my check? Heck, even throw a coat over
a puddle? Men certainly need not do any of
these things but a little bit of chivalry is never
unappreciated.
The hat quandary, though, has little to do
with old-fashioned charm or deference to the
weaker sex. Instead, unintended though it
might be on the womens part, steadfastly
keeping ones hat on their head is a little rude.
However, my sense of righteous indignation
may be misplaced. A quick perusal of eti-
quette sites and handbooks say that women
are only required to remove their headgear if
it obscures someones view at the theater,
movies, sporting events, races you get the
idea.
Does it count if I tell them I cant see the
appropriateness of their refusal?

LONDON European stocks gave
up some of their recent gains Wednesday
as investors remained cautious on a day
Wall Street was closed for July 4 cele-
brations and ahead of key economic
news in coming days.
Markets have enjoyed one of their best
three-day runs in months as investors
cheered Fridays agreement by the lead-
ers of the 17 euro countries to allow
Europes bailout fund to capitalize banks
directly and to buy bonds of imperiled
countries.
However, with the eurozone economy
showing signs of heading back into
recession, the crisis has the potential to
are up again. Mounting concerns over
the state of the U.S. economic recovery
are also keeping sentiment in check,
especially ahead of Fridays closely-
watched nonfarm payrolls report for
June. The payrolls data often set the
market tone for a week or two after their
release.
If the rally in equities is to last into
this month and beyond, then the signi-
cant measures of economic strength,
such as non-farm payrolls, must be seen
to stabilize, said David White, a trader
at Spreadex.
Before the payrolls data, markets have
a couple of key central bank policy state-
ments to digest, notably from the
European Central Bank, which is expect-
ed on Thursday to reduce its main bor-
rowing rate below 1 percent for the rst
time ever. A services sector survey
Wednesday from nancial information
company Markit added to the prevailing
view that the eurozone is heading back
to recession.
The Bank of England is also expected
to do more to help the British economy,
which is already in recession, at its meet-
ing on Thursday. The consensus view is
that it will pump another 50 billion
pounds into the economy.
There is plenty of scope for disap-
pointment given the high expectations,
so traders will be cautious ahead of the
meetings, and also as we approach non-
farm payrolls, said David Morrison,
senior market strategist at GFT Markets.
In Europe, Germanys DAX closed
down 0.2 percent at 6,564.80 while the
CAC-40 in France fell 0.1 percent to
3,267.75. The FTSE 100 index of lead-
ing British shares lost 0.1 percent to
5,684.47.
The Athens stock exchange bucked the
trend, jump 4.9 percent, hopes that
Greeces new conservative-led govern-
ment will ease the effects of a major
recession on business.
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras gov-
ernment will in two days issue its rst
major policy statement on how it intends
to deal with the countrys crushing debt
crisis. International debt inspectors are
in Athens to examine the countrys
nances. Based on that report, Greece
and its fellow eurozone countries will
discuss if and how to ease the countrys
pace of austerity measures.
The euro was down 0.6 percent at
$1.2536, while oil prices gave up some
ground amid the softer tone in Europe -
benchmark oil for August delivery was
down 66 cents at $87.00 a barrel in elec-
tronic trading on the New York
Mercantile Exchange.
EU stocks give up gains

LOS ANGELES The future of the
troubled San Onofre nuclear power plant
could balance on an inescapable ques-
tion: Is it worth the money to x it?
Engineers face a daunting task nding
a solution for problems that knocked the
seaside plant ofine last winter. And even
if they come up with a plan that fully
addresses safety and operational issues,
will it all make sense on a balance sheet?
The twin reactor plant between San
Diego and Los Angeles has long been a
source of lower-cost power, but its com-
plex and costly mechanical troubles have
raised questions that might have seemed
unrealistic just months ago.
Shutting down the plant, at the end of
the day, might not be the worst-case sce-
nario for shareholders or customers,
says Travis Miller, director of utilities
research at equities analyst Morningstar
Inc.
Two decades ago, San Onofres Unit 1
reactor was shut down and then disman-
tled when owners faced the prospect of
swallowing a $125 million bill for
upgrades and repairs. Oregons Trojan
nuclear plant closed its doors in 1993,
rather than replace steam generators that
had leaky tubes.
Now, similar issues will be on the table
for San Onofres two remaining reactors,
shuttered as engineers try to gure out
how to stop unprecedented decay in gen-
erator tubes that carry radioactive water.
The plant hasnt produced electricity
since Jan. 31.
The plant normally generates enough
power for 1.4 million homes. With sum-
mer here and no restart date in sight, state
ofcials are encouraging conservation to
ensure the lights stay on in Southern
California when temperatures and elec-
tricity use peak.
Regulators and plant owners insist the
reactors wont be restarted until all safe-
ty issues are addressed. Meanwhile, costs
mount and scrutiny intensies.
The state Public Utilities Commission
plans to vote on an order next month
requiring plant owners Southern
California Edison and San Diego Gas &
Electric to disclose the potential econom-
ic hit for ratepayers, ranging from a rela-
tively quick restart to a permanent shut-
down of the twin reactors.
The agency, which determines how
much utilities can charge homeowners
and businesses for electricity, plans to
scrutinize the cost of replacement power,
repairs and, ultimately, who gets stuck
with a bill that is increasing daily,
according to a draft order.
Could economics doom ailing nuke plant?
Carmaker Volkswagen
finalizes Porsche takeover
BERLIN German carmaker Volkswagen says it is on
track to nalize the full takeover of sports car manufactur-
er Porsche by the end of the month.
Volkswagen AG said in a statement late Wednesday
Porsche AG will become another fully integrated brand of
the Volkswagen group as of August 1.
The Wolfsburg-based group, Europe's biggest carmaker,
includes brands such as Audi, Volkswagen, Seat, Bugatti,
Benley and truck makers MAN and Scania.
The deal is also set to restructure the companies' com-
plicated ownership ties.
Volkswagen says the missing 50.1 percent in Porsche
AG's capital will be bought from holding company
Porsche SE for (EURO)4.46 billion ($5.61 billion) plus
one Volkswagen share. Porsche SE, in turn, currently holds
a sizeable stake in Volkswagen and several executives and
major shareholders are active in both rms.
Beats headphone maker
buys MOG music service
LOS ANGELES Upscale headphone maker Beats
Electronics is buying music subscription service MOG in
an attempt to improve what goes into playback devices as
much as what comes out of them.
Beats, founded by rapper Dr. Dre and recording execu-
tive Jimmy Iovine, has devoted its brand to high-quality
sound. But headphones and speakers are limited in their
ability to improve the sound of songs whose data is com-
pressed to squeeze through narrow pipes like older cellular
phone networks.
MOG attracted Beats partly because it encodes song
les at 320 kilobits per second, slightly more than Apple
Inc.s iTunes songs, which are encoded at 256 kbps. MOG
serves up songs at higher bit rates when more bandwidth is
available, and at lower rates when it isnt.

The Redwood City Wicked soft-
ball team has picked up right where
they left off.
Following a summer in 2011
when the Wicked nished strong at
tournaments like the Pleasanton
Summer Classic and Hot August
Nights in Castro Valley, the 10-
under B team is leaving an early
impression this summer.
The Wicked placed second at the
first annual Alvin Scarborough
Classic in Scotts Valley despite
being short-handed and playing
only nine players. They then turned
around and took third at the
Burlingame Billie Sue Tournament
before qualifying for the Western
Nationals in Spokane, Wash. fol-
lowing a top 10 nish at the NorCal
qualier tournament.
It was a very good tournament
for us, said Wicked head coach
Riad Agel of the qualier. We basi-
cally hit the ball very well and
played great defense.
At the Scarborough Classic, the
Wicked won three of their five
games with pitchers Megan
Chandler, Devon Sheehan and
Gianna Voltattorni leading the
charge. Each collected seven strike-
outs.
At the plate, Gena Estassi was
huge. She had six hits, four of
which were doubles and the combi-
nation of Adrianna Aranda and
Juliana Rodriguez accounted for 10
hits. Sisi Utalia drove in four during
the tournament.
Offensively, things are coming
together, Agel said. Were very
fast and athletic and we use that to
our advantage. Were stealing a lot
of bases and putting a lot of pres-
sure on the defense. It was evident
to me from the beginning that our
team was going to be fast. Were
going to bunt a lot, get on base as
much as we can and that is going to
be our strength. Were not as big as
the other teams in terms of size. Our
girls work very hard on our base
running. They seem to grasp it,
adapt it and put it into practice dur-
ing games. Thats why theyre so
successful. It also helps to be very
athletic and fast.
The offensive surge continued at
the NorCal qualier.
Aranda had seven hits including
three for extra bases while Jazmine
Martinez matched the seven-hit
effort. Estassi notched six hits and

Bumgarner roughed
up, Giants lose to Nats
By Joseph White
WASHINGTON Ryan
Zimmermans line drive to right-
center kept going and going and
going until it landed in the rst
row.
I just thought it was a double,
the Washington Nationals third
baseman said.
The way the Nationals are playing
lately, everything seems to come
with a bonus. On a Fourth of July
when the ball carried well, they took
advantage of a morning start against
a weary West Coast team and
pounded Madison Bumgarner and
the San Francisco Giants in a 9-4
victory Wednesday.
Another fun day for the skipper,
Washington manager Davey
Johnson said. Youve got to tip
your hat to the offense.
The Nationals
have been car-
ried to the top of
the NL East by
their pitching,
but they put up
a 9-spot on the
Giants for the
second straight
day and are
averaging near-
ly seven runs in
their last 10 games.
Theres no way that this offense
was going to be cold all year,

Spicing up the Fourth
W
ith the 97th annual
Nathans Hot Dog
Eating Contest in New
York in the books, it brings two
things to mind: one, starving
nations must think the United
States is the most gluttonous nation
in the world and two, is there any
wonder we have an obesity prob-
lem in this country?
For those not familiar with the
97th edition of an American tradi-
tion, competitors eat as many hot
dogs and buns as they can in a few
minutes. San Joses Joey Chestnut
has won six straight titles, sup-
planting Japans Takeru Kobayashi
as the premiere competitive eater in
the world.
There is
absolutely
nothing glam-
orous about
this event.
Making it
especially
sickening to
watch is the
dunking of
the buns in
cups of water,
in an attempt
to make the
throat-clogging bread slide easier
down the gullet.

Germanys Andre Greipel celebrates as he crosses the nish line in Rouen, France during the Tour de France.
Fourth stage is Greipels
By Jamey Keaten
ROUEN, France With British
rival Mark Cavendish downed by a
late crash, Germanys Andre Greipel
led a nal dash among the remain-
ing top Tour de France sprinters to
win the fourth stage into Normandy
on Wednesday.
Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara
avoided the trouble and retained the
overall lead for a fth day after the
133-mile trek alongside the English
Channel from Abbeville to Rouen.
The top standings didnt change:
The Swiss leads second-place
Bradley Wiggins, who hopes to be
Britains rst Tour winner, by seven
seconds. Defending champion
Cadel Evans of Australia was 17
seconds off the pace in seventh.
With less than two miles left,
Cavendish went down in a crash,
scraping up his rainbow-colored jer-
sey of world champion. He got back
on his bicycle and rode gingerly to
nish the stage. His Team Sky said
he was banged up, but appeared to
have no serious injuries.
With Cavendish out of the picture,
Greipel burst out of the depleted
group of sprinters, and sped to the

than 40,000 people showed up on
Coney Island last year and nearly
two million tuned in to ESPN to
watch the spectacle. Id expect the
numbers were similar this year.
Ive tried to watch this event in
the past and usually get so grossed
out, I have to change the channel.
This year, I didnt even look for it
on the satellite.
Instead, Ive come up with a cou-
ple of other ideas to turn into an
annual Fourth of July events. These
are activities with which many are
familiar, but put them in a contest
setting and watch the fun ensue.
Fireworks race: line up a bunch
of piccolo petes, fountains and
ground bloom owers and have
contestants light each one in order.
The one who has the nal rework
nish rst, wins.
Sounds like an easy, boring race,
but I guarantee it wont be. Have
you tried to light reworks? Did
you use a lighter, match or one of
those punk glow-stick type of
things? Anyone who has any expe-
rience lighting reworks knows
there is no fool-proof method of
ignition. The slightest puff of wind
blows out lighters, while punks
need to be glowing red to have any
hopes of lighting a fuse. Add the
adrenaline owing through your
body, which causes your hand to
shake ever so slightly, thus making
it virtually impossible to touch
ame to fuse, and this event could
be a lot more dramatic than you
think.
The grand nale will be the black
buttons they call snakes. Those
things are nearly impossible to
light.
Fourth of July Amazing Race:
follow teams of families as they
load the family truckster and battle
Fourth of July trafc to the beach.
Each team not only must get to the
beach, nd parking and set up and
eat an equally prepared lunch, they
also must pack everything back up
and head home all without utter-
ing a swear word once.
Neither of these ideas may be as
dramatic as the hot dog eating con-
test, but at least they wont leave
you with a queasy stomach after
watching or participating.

San Joses Joey Chestnut takes down hot dog No. 68 to win the Nathans
Hot Dog eating contest and tie a record in the process.
Chestnut hot dog champ again
NEW YORK Joey Chestnut
ate his way to a sixth straight win at
the Fourth of July hot dog eating
contest at Coney Island on
Wednesday, tying his personal best
in a sweaty, gag-inducing spectacle.
The 28-year-old San Jose, Calif.,
man nicknamed Jaws scarfed
down 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes in
the sweltering summer heat to take
home $10,000 and the mustard yel-
low belt. He bested his main rival
by 16 dogs.
I feel good, it was a great win,
Chestnut said after the contest,
adding he wished he could have
eaten a record number of hot dogs
for the audience. I tried my best.
Im looking forward to next year
already.
Second place went to Tim Janus
of New York with 52 hot dogs, who
received $5,000. Third place went
to Patrick Bertoletti of Chicago
with 51, who won $2,500.
Chestnut was neck-and-neck with
competitors during the rst half of
the contest, but he pulled ahead in
the remaining minutes, choking
down dog after dog, while other
competitors slowed as the clock
wound down.
Im happy to come out with the
win, he said.
Sonya Thomas, of Alexandria,
Va., downed 45 wieners to win the
womens competition. She reached
her goal of eating 45 in the time
limit her age and took home
her own pink champions belt and
$10,000.
Thomas, known as the Black
Widow of competitive eating, won
last year as well, the rst time a
separate contest was held for
women. Juliet Lee, of Germantown,
Md., took second place with 33 and
won $5,000. Lee also won second
place last year. Third place went to
Michelle Lesco, of Tuscon, Ariz.,
who received $2,500 for downing
25 1/2.
Thomas said she started to feel
sick while eating but kept pushing
so she could win the title.
There is a limit so I have to
ght, she said.
Thomas said next year shes
going to beat her record again and
eat 46.
Because Im going to be 46 next
year, she said.
The Nathans Famous Fourth of
July International Hot Dog Eating
Contest has been a city tradition for
97 years. Tens of thousands of spec-
tators gather to gawk as contestants
shimmy, slither and bounce as they
dip hot dogs in water and cram
them down their throats.
For some, its a painful reminder
of excess especially as the U.S.
battles a growing obesity problem.
The American Medical Association
opposes competitive eating, saying
its harmful to the human body.

one of Rodriguezs ve hits was of
the long-ball variety. Utalia, besides
having a another solid offensive
weekend with ve hits (three triples,
six RBIs) threw out two more run-
ners attempting to steal second base
and had a stellar performance
behind the plate, keeping runners in
check throughout the weekend.
Our strength is our defense,
Agel said. Fundamentally, we play
great defense, our pitching is con-
sistent and its solid. We do pitch to
contact and great defense has been
getting us out of jams when we get
into them during games.
Chandler had 10 strikeouts in the
tournament while Voltattorni and
Ashley Agel were part of a pitching
staff that allowed only 10 earned
runs.
Shes been consistent all sum-
mer long, Agel said of Chandler.
She puts the ball over the plate and
gets it in play so we can take advan-
tage of our strength. That goes for
all our pitchers.

team over a solid San Bruno Storm.
The perfect game was addressed
by the tournament director at the
rst Under-8 perfecto in the tour-
neys history.
Daily and Bagtas combined to
strike out 11 of the 15 hitters.
Alex Bunton got the big hit of the
game, a one-out double in the top of
the fth to put herself into scoring
position. Kiana Ryan got the knock
to drive her home. The Slammer
Green then went on to beat the
Belmont Blast 4-2 for their very

Sports brief
Allen to visit
Heat on Thursday
MIAMI The NBA champion
Miami Heat will get to make their
sales pitch to Ray Allen.
A person familiar with Allens
plans told The Associated Press that
the free-agent shooting guard will
visit with Heat ofcials Thursday.
Allen also is scheduled to visit
Friday with the Los Angeles
Clippers, according to the person
who spoke on condition of anonymi-
ty because the plans were not
announced.
Allen is one of Miamis top off-
season targets, so much so that even
NBA MVP LeBron James tweeted
last week that he hopes to play
alongside him next season. For that
to happen, Allen would have to take
less money than he almost certainly
could make elsewhere.
Miami can offer Allen only the
mini mid-level exception worth just
more than $3 million for next sea-
son, or roughly half what the Boston
Celtics are willing to pay to keep the
NBAs leading 3-point shooter.
ahead of Italys Alessandro Petacchi
and Dutch rider Tom Veelers.
This is what we wanted. Its a
good victory, said Greipel after his
14th victory in all competitions this
year.
He said he didnt pay much atten-
tion to the late crash.
I heard something behind me ...
but 60 kilometers per hour, you
dont worry about what happened
behind, the Lotto-Belisol rider said
in an interview with France-2 TV.
Despite the crash, Greipel said his
victory was well-deserved.
There were still really fast guys
there for the sprint and I think we
just deserve this victory, he said,
playing down a question about
whether he savored it less because
Cavendish was knocked out.
I think its no question about
that, Greipel said. I won a stage in
the Tour de France!
Dave Brailsford, manager of
Team Sky, said Cavendishs injuries
were more supercial, just skin.
Well see later. After a crash like
that, its high emotion.
When you hit the ground that
fast, it shakes you up, it builds up
adrenalin, he said. Well let the
adrenalin ... calm down and see
where we are later. Now he is OK.
He is having a shower. It should be
OK tomorrow.
The group spill also brought down
riders like Garmin-Sharps Robbie
Hunter, and Cavendishs lead-out
man on Sky, Bernhard Eisel of
Austria and Brailsford hinted at
his riders mood afterward.
I cant repeat what he said when
they came into the bus, he told
French television.
Cavendish, who was voted the
BBCs sports personality of the year
in Britain last year, won Mondays
second stage in a sprint, giving him
a career 21st Tour stage victory.
An ofcial race medical report
said Cavendish sustained several
scratches and a cut on a nger, Eisel
sustained a gash that required stitch-
es on his forehead, and Hunter
scraped up his left side. Daniel Oss
of Liquigas had a hip injury, it said.

Federer and Djokovic in Wimbledon semis
WIMBLEDON, England
Novak Djokovic closed out his lat-
est Wimbledon win with an ace,
then threw a st
and let loose a
primal scream.
Bring on
Roger Federer.
Theyll meet at
Wimbledon for
the first time
Friday.
F e d e r e r
earned a record
32nd Grand
Slam seminal berth and moved
closer to a record-tying seventh
Wimbledon title Wednesday, beat-
ing Mikhail Youzhny, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2.
Minutes later on an adjacent court,
defending champion Djokovic n-
ished off Florian Mayer, 6-4, 6-1, 6-
4.
Federer has a 14-12 edge against
the top-ranked Djokovic. Theyve
met in Grand Slam seminals ve
times the past two years, with
Djokovic winning four of those
matches.
Theyve never played each other
on grass.
A nice matchup, Federer said.
Obviously Im aware that Novak is
the defending champion and the
world No. 1.
Thats not going
to make it easy.
Its always a
pleasure playing
against Roger,
Djokovic said.
Obviously hes
a great champi-
on. He has been
so dominant and
consistent in these Grand Slams,
and hes really an ultimate challenge
on grass courts.
The other seminal will match
No. 4-seeded Andy Murray against
No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Murray,
seeking to become the rst British
man since 1938 to reach the
Wimbledon final, needed nearly
four hours to defeat No. 7 David
Ferrer, 6-7 (5), 7-6 (6), 6-4, 7-6 (4).
Tsonga advanced to the seminals
for the second year in a row by beat-
ing rst-time Grand Slam quarter-
nalist Philipp Kohlschreiber 7-6 (6),
4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-2.
Murray and Tsonga are both seek-
ing their rst major title. With two-
time champion Rafael Nadal elimi-
nated last week from one half of the
draw, the Federer-Djokovic winner
will be a big favorite Sunday against
a rst-time Wimbledon nalist.
Federer had been tied with Jimmy
Connors for the most major semi-
nals. He reached the nal four at
Wimbledon for the rst time since
2009, when he won the title for the
sixth time.
Im just happy that Im around
farther than Ive been the last couple
years, Federer said.
Against the No. 26-seeded
Youzhny, Federer showed no sign of
the back ailment that prompted him
to seek treatment during the rst set
of his previous match. In the second
game, he converted his fth break-
point chance and pulled away from
there.

starter Edwin Jackson said. It was just a mat-
ter of time.
Jackson (5-4) allowed three runs in another
rough rst inning, the kind of setback the
Nationals had trouble overcoming early in the
season. He settled down and gave up only one
more run and lasted 5 1-3 innings in the mid-
day heat. Three relievers combined to shut
down the Giants the rest of the way.
Zimmerman has spearheaded the offenses
resurgence, batting .386 (17 for 44) since
receiving a cortisone shot in his sore right
shoulder on June 24. He was in a 5-for-49
slump at the time, and the travails of the
teams No. 3 hitter were becoming a concern
in a mostly positive season.
I was playing banged-up for a while there,
he said. And when you try to play through
things, sometimes it doesnt allow you to do
the things youve been doing and that leads to
other things and other things. Its denitely a
lot better when you show up to the park and
you feel healthy every day.
Zimmerman hopes he wont need another
shot this season. Hes certainly getting plenty
of mileage out of this one.
He drilled a line drive his rst time up
but it turned into an out when Bumgarner
made a nice slide in the grass to retrieve and
throw the ball after it hit the pitcher in the leg.
No one got in the way of Zimmerman his
next two times up. His double peppered the
left eld wall only a few inches from a
home run in a three-run third, and he and
Michael Morse hit back-to-back opposite-
eld homers in a three-run fth. Zimmerman
is now 10 for 20 with four homers and 13
RBIs in six Independence Day games.
Bumgarner (10-5) followed last weeks
one-hit shutout of the Cincinnati Reds with
one of his rockiest outings. He was done after
ve-plus innings and gave up three home
runs, matching a career high. He allowed
seven runs total, more than in his previous
four starts combined.
Guys have days like this all the time,
Bumgarner said. It just depends on how good
you can minimize the damage. I didnt really
minimize it today.
Washington goes for the sweep Thursday.
The Giants have lost four of ve and have
allowed nine-plus runs in consecutive games
for the rst time since 2009.

Sports brief
Sandusky trial, emails may
alter second Penn State case
HARRISBURG, Pa. Trial may be
months away for two Penn State administra-
tors charged with mishandling a 2001 sex
abuse complaint regarding Jerry Sandusky
and lying to a grand jury about it.
But testimony at Sanduskys recent criminal
trial, the former assistant football coachs
acquittal on one of the counts and leaked
decade-old email traffic could have legal
implications for the two administrators, Tim
Curley and Gary Schultz.
A fresh court motion also provides a
glimpse into the defense strategy for Schultz,
the universitys now-retired vice president for
business and nance, and Curley, who is cur-
rently on leave as athletic director.
Meanwhile, pleas from Joe Paternos family
for the release of more information raise the
possibility that at trial the now-dead Hall of
Fame coach might be blamed for not doing
more to stop Sandusky. The beloved coach
was red soon after Sanduskys arrest.
Schultz, 62, and Curley, 58, both of
Boalsburg, deny the allegations against them
and have asked a judge to dismiss the charges.
Sports brief
As close out series with win
By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND Jemile Weeks hit a go-ahead
RBI single in the seventh following Coco
Crisps leadoff triple, and the Oakland
Athletics completed a three-game sweep of the
Boston Red Sox with a 3-2 win Wednesday.
Red Sox slugger David Ortiz hit his 400th
career home run and also scored on Adrian
Gonzalezs sixth-inning single, but Boston
couldnt avoid its rst sweep by the As since
May 23-25, 2008, also in Oakland. The Red
Sox lost just their fourth series in the last 17
and completed a disappointing 2-5 road trip
through Seattle and Oakland, the AL Wests
two bottom teams.
Brandon Moss homered leading off the sec-
ond for his 10th of the season, giving the As
longballs in 15 straight games most for the
club since doing so in 17 in a row from April
12-May 1, 2002.
Moss singled in the fourth and doubled in
the sixth, leaving him a triple shy of the cycle.
Brandon Inge doubled home Moss to tie the
game at 2 in the sixth.
Grant Balfour (2-2) went 1 2-3 innings for
the win as the As (41-42) moved within one
game of .500 for the rst time since they were
22-23 on May 23. Lone As All-Star Ryan
Cook nished with a 1-2-3 ninth for his eighth
save in 11 chances.
Ortiz hit his 400th homer with a leadoff
drive to right in the fourth inning against
Oakland starter A.J. Grifn.
The 36-year-old Big Papis home runs rank
eighth among active players and 49th on the
all-time list. Next up for him to catch: Hall of
Famer Duke Snider with 407.
Ortizs 22nd home run of the season tied the
game at 1. Ortiz has 352 home runs and 1,142
RBIs as a designated hitter for most all-time by
a DH.
Ortiz tipped his batting helmet as his mile-
stone was announced to a standing ovation
before he stepped in to hit in the sixth, then
drew a ve-pitch walk.
Aaron Cook (2-2), coming off a career-best
two-hit shutout in a 5-0 win at Seattle on
Friday in which he didnt walk a batter for the
second straight outing, was tagged for nine hits
and three runs in six-plus innings.
Facing Oakland for the rst time since June
28, 2009, while with Colorado, the right-han-
der fell to 4-2 in six career starts versus the AL
West.
Grifn is still looking for his rst major
league win after six solid innings.

Twins Grant and Ross James
are 2012 Olympic teammates
By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND From their early
days as bouncing Boy Scouts to the
demanding journey of becoming
Eagle Scouts, to their days as
national champion shooters and,
eventually, top-notch college rowers
each studying engineering, twins
Grant and Ross James have always
taken parallel paths in life.
Both knew that could end as they
chased their Olympic dream. One
might make it, while the other
stayed home.
Then, Ross landed the last seat in
the U.S. eight boat that captured the
final spot in the eight-country
Olympic eld.
Theyre off to London as Olympic
teammates, rowing in neighboring
seats to boot.
Weve had a lot of similar expe-
riences, said Ross, who is four min-
utes younger. Weve been doing a
lot of things throughout our life
together and weve accomplished a
lot of things together, so its nice to
continue that trend of being with
your twin brother. I like to think of
him like another teammate. Its
tough, because we wont always be
in the same boat or the same situa-
tions.
For now, theyre thrilled with this
rare opportunity and so is their
proud mother, Cindy James-Warren,
who raised them on her own. Had
things gone differently just a few
months back, the brothers wouldnt
be together now.
As the nal spot came down to
Ross and another rower in late April,
Grant excused himself when the rest
of the athletes gave their nomina-
tions for who should make the boat.
The last couple days it was
between myself and another rower
for the very last seat in the boat, so
thats when it came down to, would
both of us go or not? Ross recalled.
Its not easy. The whole five
months wasnt easy. It was pretty
stressful. Thats part of it. If at that
stage you can handle that level of
stress, at the Olympics its going to
be an even higher level of stress.
The easy part was going out and rac-
ing.
Teammate Giuseppe Lanzone
called it a very hard decision, but
credited Ross for earning the spot.
Coach Mike Teti said Ross was the
most consistent. US Rowing formal-
ly named them to the Olympic roster
Tuesday.
The 24-year-old twins credit their
do-everything mother for preparing
them for just about anything. A rst-
grade teacher, she had a family sup-
port system within 100 miles of their
home in DeKalb, Ill.
Warren-James did all she could to
expose her boys to a range of activi-
ties, and is quick to thank everyone
generous enough to share their
expertise along the way. She encour-
aged adventure and exploration.
And her sons tough to tell apart

As recently as a decade ago, the
word heirloom was used to
describe jewels, furniture or handi-
crafts one-of-a-kind items of
uncommon quality or design that
were passed down by families over
generations. Now, that tag is just as
frequently attached to vegetables,
fruit and owers.
Enthusiasts say heirloom vegeta-
bles offer more avor, nostalgia and
authenticity.
I think its all about the avor,
said Kathy Mendelson, a botanist
from the Seattle area and author of a
website called The Heirloom
Vegetable Gardeners Assistant.
Nobody wants a plateful of
bland for dinner, and the best of the
heirlooms have avors that are com-
plicated delicate, bold, sweet,
not sweet, rich, distinctive and
more, Mendelson said.
Nostalgia plays an
important part,
too, she said, but
heirlooms are
more than just
sentimental
favorites:
F o r
e x a m -
ple, they
c a n
have to
do with
f a m i l y ,
community,
c e r t a i n l y
with culture, and
also History with a capital H
researched and documented.
Whats not to love when grow-
ing tomatoes from seeds given such
descriptive names as Radiator
Charlies Mortgage Lifter,
Brandywine, Truckers Favorite
or Amish Paste?
Tomatoes are the favorite heir-
looms, but have been eclipsed in
the marketplace by
hybrid varieties
created for dis-
ease resist-
ance, appear-
ance and
longer shelf
life.
Breeding
h a s
c h a n g e d ,
said Diane Ott
Whealy, co-
founder of Seed
S a v e r s
Exchange in
Decorah, Iowa, the
largest non-government seed
bank in the United States.
Commercial growers wanted
vegetables like tomatoes to ripen off
the vine, survive being shipped
cross-country and then mature in
warehouses before going into
stores, she said, but added that they
misplaced something in the process:
avor.
People come to us and say they
remember the juicy tomato from
their grandmothers garden.
Tomatoes in markets today just
dont have that, Ott Whealy said.
Along with scores of heirloom
tomato varieties, old-school squash,
potatoes, beans, peppers, cucum-
bers, carrots, herbs and melons also
are popular with modern-day gar-
deners.
And lets not forget heirloom
owers.
Genetics over time has made
them stronger, more diverse, Ott
Whealy said. Heirloom flowers
have more pollen and more nectar
for butteries. Many new varieties
of owers are bred without that.
Heirloom vegetables may not be
as disease-resistant as many mod-
ern cultivars bred specically for
that characteristic, but they are
proven survivors, said Sarah
Browning, an extension horticultur-
ist with the University of Nebraska-
Lincoln.
Heirloom plants were created by
gardeners who repeatedly saved
seed from the healthiest, most pro-
ductive and avorful plants from
their garden, Browning said. So
inadvertently, these gardeners also
selected for disease resistance.
Once you start growing some-
thing, you might want to save a few
seeds or choose a variety that has
some history or that was grown for
years by your own family, Ott
Whealy said.
Saving seeds is saving heritage,
and I think it will be done in back-
yard gardens rather than the corpo-
rate kind, she said.
Heirloom veggies deliver flavor, authenticity

Anyone with school-aged chil-
dren knows that soon after their
childs first blissful week at home
ends, boredom begins to set in.
The dreaded Im bored or
Theres nothing to do is the
parental equivalent of nails on a
chalkboard.
Projects that can entertain kids
are worth their weight in gold.
(By kids, I am referring to chil-
dren under the age of 13. If you
have teenagers at home for the
summer, may God help you,
because I cant.)
Keeping younger kids enter-
tained can be fun; all you need is
the right tools and some imagina-
tion. One of my favorite projects
with kids is nature printing, pre-
serving the ephemeral beauty of
nature. An old and distinguished
artform perhaps inspired by fos-
sils, nature printing dates back at
least as far as Leonardo da Vinci.
Nature printing is inexpensive
and has limitless possibilities.
Prints can be created by applying
paint to leaves, flowers, fruits,
vegetables, mushrooms, shells,
feathers, fish and even spider
webs. It is a kid-friendly art proj-
ect that you can do easily at
home.
Heres a tip from my household
to yours: Hide the family dog
before the painting begins.
Materials:
A dozen collected leaves or
other graphic materials such as
feathers, flowers, etc.
Two cotton bath towels
Newsprint or newspaper
Fabric paint (assorted colors)
Cotton T-shirts
Tools:
Straight pins
Brayer
Sponge brush or stencil brushes
Iron (no steam needed)
Directions:
1. Set up a work area on a flat
table or counter. Cover the surface
with newsprint.
2. Create a printing surface
using bath towels.
3. Lay your T-shirt flat on the
towels, iron (if needed) and secure
with pins.
4. Prepare your fabric paint and
review the directions.
5. Collect leaves, feathers, pat-
terned shells, etc. in different
sizes. Leaves with distinct veins
patterns print better.
6. Pick the leaves you want to
use for your T-shirt and lay out
your design.
7. Lightly stipple the undersides
of the leaves or desired object with
fabric paint.
8. Apply several thin layers
rather than adding on a lot of paint
at once. (You may want to practice
with a few leaves on paper first.)
Do not brush the paint on or brush
marks will show up on your print.
9. Place the leaf with painted
side down on your shirt carefully.
10. Cover the leaf with a piece of
newsprint. Roll your brayer over
the paper with one small move-
ment.
11. Carefully lift the leaf from
your material with clean hands.
12. When the paint is dry, iron
the T-shirt carefully with a cloth to
set the paint. Let dry for another
48 hours before washing.

will hold a ceremony Tuesday at the for-
mer Chemical Way land purchased by
the county for a new correctional facili-
ty. Actually breaking ground for con-
struction on the site now known as
Woodhouse Industrial Park is still quite
a while away but Munks said Tuesdays
event marks demolition of one building
and the beginning of site remediation.
Its a big milestone. Its symbolic in
terms of acknowledging the project is
under way. Were moving forward and
the team is off and running, Munks
said.
According to Munks, the county is in
need of a new and bigger facility a lot
sooner than later.
Last years realignment of prison
inmates sent a number of those serving
time for nonviolent offenses like drug
crimes back to county lockups. As a
consequence, the womens ranks have
swelled and the male population is a lot
more hardened, sophisticated and
gang-affiliated, Munks said.
The Womens Correctional Facility
on Maple Street, rated for 84 inmates,
now stands at 135 and another 10 are
being housed at the mens Maguire
Correctional Facility. In the mens jail,
a pod once used for the rehabilitative
Choices program was converted into
space where particularly violent or
gang-affiliated inmates can be placed.
Were running out of special hous-
ing for administrative segregation,
Munks said.
Munks said he is looking at different
options to ease the existing problem
such as converting a 46-bed medium
security dorm into an all-female unit.
Hes also looking to the future with a
new facility and said the current issues
will certainly help dictate the final
design of the jail.
Flexibility is a key ingredient for
Munks who wants the ability to shift
floors or pods to other gender housing
as needed so some areas arent left
overcrowded while others are wide
open. Ample space for segregated
housing and areas for programming,
like Choices, are also on the wish list
as is gender-specific sections in the
female wing for needs like family
reunication.
Otherwise, Munks wants to hand the
architect and builder a blank slate. The
Board of Supervisors held a jail planning
workshop last month but offered broad
ideas about size and scope rather than
hard direction.
We tried to emphasize that we want
to give our design team the maximum
amount of exibility in approaching the
project. We dont want to paint them into
a corner with preconceived notions and I
think we did come away without getting
that deep in the weeds, Munks said.
As currently envisioned, the 260,000-
square-foot jail will have 576 beds on
three oors topped by 40 feet of unn-
ished space known as the warm shell.
The hybrid option was a compromise
size chosen by the Board of Supervisors
last year. Supervisors have offered dif-
ferent opinions on the shells location
with some like Supervisor Don Horsley,
for example, leaning toward having the
space in a separate building.
But more buildings means more dupli-
cation of functions and more staff, such
as eight more employees to cover anoth-
er control room in a separate facility.
That in turn drives up the ongoing oper-
ating expenses.
While the nal price tag remains a
concern, the recently passed state budg-
et may offer hope. The budget included
jail construction money and San Mateo
County ofcials believe they are in a
very competitive position to nab up to
$100 million.
The jail itself is estimated to cost
approximately $155 million with rough-
ly $40 million a year in operating
expenses. County Manager John Maltbie
will bring a nancing plan back to the
Board of Supervisors this fall.
The jail design is anticipated for com-
pletion by early next year following by
bidding and construction. Opening is
scheduled for 2015.

JAIL
tions for Alifano, Mackintosh and
Riddell by a group of coastside residents
who say Cal Fire is saving them big
money while providing adequate serv-
ice.
Moss Beach resident Mike Gaynes,
one of the leaders behind the recall
effort, said the old stand-alone model is
a discredited one. Gaynes and those who
want to keep Cal Fire on the coast have
120 days to collect enough signatures to
get the recall on the ballot.
The board will take several actions
over the next year to re-establish its own
department and voted at a recent meet-
ing not to extend its contract with Cal
Fire beyond 2013.
Prior to Cal Fires arrival, re depart-
ments on the coast were a costly mess,
Gaynes said, resulting in more than $1.2
million in lawsuit settlements and legal
fees as well as high turnover and poor
morale.
The Coastside Fire Protection District
serves Half Moon Bay, the unincorporat-
ed areas of Half Moon Bay and the unin-
corporated communities of Miramar, El
Granada, Princeton-by-the-Sea, Moss
Beach and Montara.
Previously, the Half Moon Bay Fire
Protection District and Point Montara
Fire Protection District provided service
on the coast but the two consolidated in
2007 to form the Coastside Fire
Protection District.
Prior to the consolidation, the Half
Moon Bay Fire Protection District was
beset with operational, labor manage-
ment, morale and legal issues, according
to the civil grand jury report released in
April.

FIRE
THURSDAY, JULY 5, 2012
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- To be on the safe side,
you should check out a business matter in great
detail. If you dont, a small detail could derail things
just when you think everything is locked down.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- For some strange reason,
those who are usually in accord with your thoughts or
suggestions might instead resist them. If they do, let it
go instead of trying to impose your beliefs on them.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Theres a strong chance
that youll overlook those whove done the most for
you, and instead reward the undeserving. Watch out
for faulty judgment on your part in this area.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you really dont want
to be nice to people whom you honestly do not like,
avoid gatherings where they are in attendance. If you
do run into them, be prepared to turn the other cheek.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Take another hard look
at an objective that you believe to be of extreme
importance. Frankly, chances are it could turn out to
be relatively worthless in the long run.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Downplay your
education instead of faunting it if you believe youre
much smarter than those around you. Its much wiser
to win friends instead of belittling people.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Avoid joint endeav-
ors where the ante is not equal for all participants. If
the contributions arent comparable but the takings
are, people will be angry and nothing will work.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Guard against a
strong inclination to be suspicious of the motives
or intentions of others. If you fnd yourself doing
so, question whether youre projecting instead of
evaluating.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You know perfectly
well that your chances of productivity will be sub-
stantially reduced if you take on more than you can
handle. Its best to do less and do it well than founder
due to excess.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- One of the worst things
you can do is try to cover up an error, especially if it
pertains to your work. Dont hide anything -- fx it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- In reassessing yester-
days happenings, I hope you fgure out that its best
to keep in-laws or relatives out of close family mat-
ters, especially when the youngsters are involved.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dont think you have to
comply with what people ask of you. For example,
when someone begs you to tell it like it is, its best to
sugarcoat the bitter truth.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Bradford Louie
Case Number 122477
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Bradford Louie. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by Calvin
Louie in the Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo. The Petition for
Probate requests that Calvin Louie be
appointed as personal representative to
administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This
athourity will allow the personal repre-
sentative to take many actions without
obtaining court approval. Before taking
certain very important actions, however,
the personal representative will be re-
quired to give notice to interested per-
sons unless they have waived notice or
consented to the proposed action.) The
independent administration authority will
203 Public Notices
be granted unless an interested person
files an objection to the petition and
shows good cause why the court should
not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: August 15, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, 1st Floor, Redwood City,
CA 94063. If you object to the granting
of the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

nomic stress, said Mark Church, chief
elections officer and assessor-county clerk-
recorder.
The 2012-13 property assessment roll
increased 3.33 percent, or more than $4.75
billion, over last year, according to figures
released by Church.
Property is a big-ticket item, Church
said in a prepared statement. As buyer and
investor confidence picks up, which we are
now experiencing, the real estate market
picks up, signifying a turn for the better in
the economy and the next assessment roll.
The uptick is the second year in a row and
includes a 5.46 percent increase in the unse-
cured portion which encompasses value of
business and air transportation property at
San Francisco International Airport both
signs of improvement in the local business
climate.
The nearly $434 million increase over last
years assessed roll is chalked up in part to
increased commercial aviation and conces-
sion value at SFO.
We think weve basically hit the bottom
and it looks like the market is improving.
The hope now is well start seeing better
growth, said Terry Flinn, special assistant
to the assessor.
On the other hand, the countys cities
showed sharp contrasts based on locale and
the difference between Proposition 13 value
and decline-in-value reassessments stand at
$8.1 billion. For instance, Atherton posted a
9.05 percent increase while East Palo Alto
dropped 2.51 percent. Every other city aside
from Brisbane and the unincorporated areas
showed positive increases in the combined
roll.
Flinn said in contrast to the affluent por-
tions of San Mateo County, the so-called
entry level communities that were hit by
the subprime mortgage problems are slug-
gish.
The entire roll is $147.26 billion and is
the value of all properties as of Jan. 1 each
year. Each years roll reflects all adjust-
ments from the previous Jan. 1 tally includ-
ing additions, removals and declines in
value.
Nearly 36,000 residential properties were
reviewed and 32,477 approved for reassess-
ment which in turn reduced the roll by $385
million. San Mateo and Daly City had the
greatest number of parcels decline, 5,037
and 4,215 respectively, and Daly City lost
$97.8 million in value.
Although the total changes mean a $3.8
million loss in taxes, Churchs office called
the numbers a significant improvement
over 2011 when the roll lost more than $1.5
billion because of 35,000 properties that
declined in value.
On the commercial end, 604 of the 733
properties reviewed qualified for relief.
Some even increased in value which added
$22.38 million to the roll.
Foreclosure numbers in 2011 also saw a
downturn with 11 percent less notices of
default recorded over the previous years
3,777 total.
The assessment roll not only paints a pic-
ture of the countys economic conditions
but also pencils out how much tax money
will go into local coffers. The county, its
cities, special districts and schools will
share 1 percent of the rolls increase, or
$47.5 million, and the county itself will
take 22 percent, or $10.4 million.

Assets offshore hint
at larger Romney wealth
WASHINGTON For nearly 15 years,
Republican presidential candidate Mitt
Romneys financial port-
folio has included an off-
shore company that
remained invisible to vot-
ers as his political star
rose.
Based in Bermuda,
Sankaty High Yield Asset
Investors Ltd. was not
listed on any of
Romneys state or federal
financial reports. The company is among
several Romney holdings that have not been
fully disclosed, including one that recently
posted a $1.9 million earning suggesting
he could be wealthier than the nearly $250
million estimated by his campaign.
The omissions were permitted by state and
federal authorities overseeing Romneys
ethics filings, and he has never been cited
for failing to disclose information about his
money.
