CSM reaffirms plan to demo building,garden

Students,community want full environmental impact report
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Plans to demolish a building and portions of the neighboring gardens on the College of San Mateo were rescinded then reaffirmed with more details Wednesday a move ofcials hope will meet demands from a lawsuit seeking a full environmental impact report. In May, the San Mateo County Community College District Board approved plans to alter its master plan to allow for the demolition of Building 20, which is home to programs like horticul-

ture and oristry, and the surrounding garden. In June, Friends of the College of San Mateo Garden led a lawsuit against the district and its board calling for a full environmental impact report of the demolition. On Wednesday, the board rescinded the original decision. Then, the board accepted an amended plan, which still includes demolishing the building, after considering a study on the area. Supporters who wanted to retain the garden argued a full report should still be completed. Board President Richard Holober said the board is acting on legal advice but

that the pending lawsuit will decide if a full report is needed. Plans in May were not yet nalized when approved, said Barbara Christensen, director of community and government relations. Since then, the district worked with ICF International to provide a more detailed analysis of the impact of the plans to demolish the building. About 180 to 200 parking spaces, slated to be for staff, will be constructed. The majority of the north garden area, the Dawn Redwood tree and some of the surrounding grassy area to

Jury rules against penis amputation patient
SHELBYVILLE, Ky. A Kentucky truck driver who was wheeled into surgery for a simple circumcision but awoke without part of his penis lost his multimillion-dollar lawsuit Wednesday against the urologist who cut off a cancer-riddled section of the organ. A six-man, six-woman jury deliberated briey before saying it didnt agree with 64-year-old Phillip Seaton and his wife, Deborah, that Dr. John Patterson had failed to exercise proper care. Seaton also sued because he said he hadnt consented to the amputation. The doctor said he decided to amputate less than an inch of the penis after he found potentially deadly cancer during surgery in 2007. The rest of the penis was taken off later by another doctor. Patterson testied that when he cut the foreskin, the tip of the penis had the appearance of rotten cauliower, indicating cancer. A pathologist later testied that tests conrmed the diagnosis. What I saw was not a penis. What I saw was cancer, Patterson had testied.

BART developing cellphone policy

By Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Police reports
Eau de crim
A person stole 24 bottles of fragrance from a shelf on the 1100 block of El Camino Real in San Bruno before 5:01 p.m. Thursday, July 21.

SAN FRANCISCO Transit agency directors appeared ready Wednesday to allow police to cut wireless phone access on train platforms, but only in extreme public safety circumstances. Eight of the nine Bay Area Rapid Transit directors met in a special meeting Wednesday in Oakland after the agency started a global debate over free speech when it shut off its wireless access in downtown San Francisco stations to disrupt a planned protest on Aug. 11. The board didnt take a formal vote at the meeting, but members expect to adopt a formal policy within a month. The board was divided over whether the tactic was appropriate to disrupt organizers plans to distribute instruction through social

networks and social media on how to disrupt the Aug. 11 commute. After ofcials cut wireless power, the planned protest over transit police fatally shooting a knife-wielding transient failed to develop. I thought it was a good idea at the time, said director Thomas Blalock. He said letters he received from the politically conservative district he serves south of Oakland were overwhelmingly in favor of the shut off. Director Lynette Sweet, who represents liberal parts of Oakland, said BART was wrong to turn off wireless access, a move she said prompted two rowdy demonstrations that disrupted the evening commute the last two Monday nights. Instead of xing a situation, we escalated it, Sweet said. Still, Sweet agrees with the other directors that rare situations defusing a bomb controlled by a cellphone signal, for instance warranted the action.

Board president Bob Franklin said the agency will adopt a formal wireless policy within a month, after holding another hearing and consulting with outsiders, including the American Civil Liberties Union. BART is the rst reported U.S. governmental agency to turn off wireless access to quell social unrest. British authorities considered the tactic during the recent London riots and Hosni Mubarak tried to block Internet access in Egypt in an unsuccessful bid to blunt demonstrators calling for his resignation. The two demonstrations were organized by the hacker group Anonymous, which also claimed credit for hacking BARTs marketing Web site and releasing the personal information of 2,000 passengers who gave their data to Mybart.org. Anonymous disavowed responsibility for the hacking of the BART police unions Web site last week and the posting of ofcers home addresses.

Sex offender pleads not guilty to child porn

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A convicted sex offender who served seven months in jail for stashing child pornography on his home computer pleaded not guilty yesterday to a similar crime as well as violating his probation. Kent Ping Lin, 25, of San Mateo, is charged with one count of child pornography. California law only lets prosecutors charge per alleged incident rather than the number of images. Lin is also alleged to have violated probation with the new arrest. Lin pleaded not guilty and returns to court

Sept. 8 for a preliminary hearing. County probation officers arrested Lin Monday after a search of his Sugarloaf Drive home reportedly turned up child pornography on his home computer. Lin was sentenced last December to seven months in jail and three years of supervised probation for felony child pornography possession and misdemeanor drug possession. San Mateo police had zeroed in on Lin after federal investigators tipped them off in 2009 that he was purchasing child porn from various websites. A search of the San Mateo home

last year where he lived with his parents turned up a computer containing dozens of photographs of girls 7 to 10 years old involved in sex acts with men, according to prosecutors. Detectives also reported nding a small amount of psychedelic mushrooms. The terms of his probation required Lin to register as a sex offender, to seek treatment and to stay away from minors, schools and adult bookstores. Lin remains in custody in lieu of $90,000 bail.

Budget deficit slips to $1.28 STRUCTURE FIRE trillion; red ink continues
By Stephen Ohlemacher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON After months of unrelieved gloom and discord, Congress and President Barack Obama are starting to make a dent in the federal budget decit. Its projected to shrink slightly to $1.28 trillion this year, and bigger savings from this months debt ceiling deal are forecast over the next decade. No ones celebrating. There will be plenty of red ink for years to come. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Ofce projected Wednesday that annual budget decits will be reduced by a total of $3.3 trillion over the next decade, largely because of the decit reduction package passed by Congress earlier this month. The ofce also forecast persistently high unemployment, a troubling political prospect for President Barack Obama in the crucial months of his campaign to win a second term. Even with the anticipated big savings, annual budget decits are expected to total nearly $3.5 trillion over the next decade and much more if Bush-era tax cuts scheduled to expire at the end of next year are extended. In all, nearly $8.5 trillion would be added to the national debt over the next 10 years if the tax cuts and certain spending programs are kept in place, the budget ofce report said.

The national debt now stands at more than $14.6 trillion. The numbers help illustrate the urgency facing a new joint committee in Congress that is charged with nding $1.2 trillion to $1.5 trillion in budget savings over the next decade. Some lawmakers are calling for an even bigger package, a tall order given the bitter debate that produced this months debt deal. CBOs report is yet more evidence that Congress faces a twin challenge of a sluggish near-term economy and a still very serious long-term debt threat, said Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. Congress cannot afford to ignore either challenge. Most of the improvement in this years decit picture comes from higher than anticipated tax collections from 2010 returns led in the spring. Over the longer term, the belttightening required in the new decit reduction law will mean even bigger savings, the report says. Decits could end up larger if CBOs economic forecast, which is more optimistic than private projections, proves to be too rosy. The agency doesnt foresee another recession but modest economic growth over the next few years. And it expects the unemployment rate to fall only slightly, to 8.5 percent in the last three months of 2012, and staying above 8 percent through the following year.

Husband defends wife in babys death

By Gillian Flaccus and Amy Taxin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ORANGE The husband of a woman accused of tossing her disabled 7-month-old son off the fourth story of a hospital parking structure said Wednesday that his wife suffered from postpartum depression and he doesnt blame her for her actions. The baby, Noe Medina Jr., died of his injuries earlier in the day at the University of California, Irvine, Medical Center, the same day that his mother was charged with murder and felony child abuse. Sonia Hermosillo, 31, made a brief court

appearance but did not enter a plea. She is due back in court Thursday. Prosecutors allege that Hermosillo removed a helmet that her son wore for a medical condition before tossing him from the parking structure at Childrens Hospital of Orange County. She then went back inside the hospital to validate her parking before driving away late Monday, senior deputy district attorney Scott Simmons said. Hermosillos husband, Noe Medina, said in an emotional press conference that he didnt blame his wife and urged women to get treatment if they think they might have postpartum depression.

Officials ponder Irene evacuations

HATTERAS, N.C. Hurricane Irene could hit anywhere from North Carolina to New York this weekend, leaving ofcials in the path of uncertainty to make a delicate decision. Should they tell tourists to leave during one of the last weeks of the multibillion-dollar summer season? Most were in a wait-and-see mode, holding out to get every dime before the storms path crystalizes. North Carolinas governor told reporters not to scare people away. You will never endanger your tourists, but you also dont want to over inate the sense of urgency about the storm. And so lets just hang on, North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue said Wednesday. At the same time she warned to prepare for the worst. In the Bahamas, tourists cut their vacations short and caught the last ights out before the airport was closed. Those who remained behind with locals prepared for a rough night of violent winds and a dangerous storm surge that threatened to punish the low-lying chain of islands. Irene has already hit Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, causing landslides and ooding homes. One woman was killed. On the Outer Banks of North Carolina, some tourists heeded evacuation orders for a tiny barrier island as Irene strengthened to a Category 3 storm, with winds of 120 mph (193 kph). We jam-packed as much fun as we could into the remainder of Tuesday, said Jessica Stanton Tice of Charleston, W.Va. She left Ocracoke Island on an early-morning ferry with

her husband and toddler. Were still going to give North Carolina our vacation business, but were going to Asheville in the mountains, she said. Ofcials said Irene could cause ooding, power outages or worse as far north as Maine, even if the eye of the storm stays offshore. Hurricane-force winds were expected 50 miles from the center of the storm. Predicting the path of such a huge storm can be tricky, but the National Hurricane Center uses computer models to come up with a cone of uncertainty, a three-day forecast that has become remarkably accurate in recent years. Forecasters are still about a day away from the cone reaching the East Coast. A system currently over the Great Lakes will play a large role in determining if Irene is pushed farther to the east in the next three or four days. The mood was calm in Virginia Beach, Va. Jimmy Capps, manager of the Breakers Resort Inn, said the 56-room hotel is about 80 percent booked for the weekend, despite a few cancellations. It just appears theyre not quite sure what the storm is going to do, Capps said. The thing Im amazed at now is that we havent had more cancellations so far. Usually when they start mentioning the Outer Banks and Cape Lookout, which we are between, the phones light up. Respected Swedish author and journalist Elisabeth Asbrinks says Kamprad joined the Swedish Nazi party in 1943 when he was 17-years-old, prompting the security police to set up a le on him the same year. Asbrink also claims in her 330-page long book, And in Wienerwald the Trees Remain, that the founder of Swedish furniture chain was in contact with Nazi sympathizers until the 1950s. She writes that Kamprads letters were secretly opened by the security police, and their contents, including information about his effort to recruit new members, were noted on his le, in which the police wrote the word Nazi. They were steamed open, copied, and closed again, Asbrink writes in the book.

JERUSALEM Palestinian militants red rocket barrages that wounded an Israeli baby Wednesday, and Israel retaliated with airstrikes that killed four Gaza ghters, Gaza ofcials said. The new round of violence began last Thursday when gunmen, apparently from Gaza, crossed the border from Egypt and ambushed cars and buses in southern Israel, killing eight people. That was followed by massive Palestinian rocket attacks and retaliatory Israeli airstrikes. Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Adham Abu Salmia said a member of the Islamic Jihad group was killed Wednesday evening in Israeli airstrikes. The Israeli military said aircraft targeted a terrorist squad that red rockets into Israel. Israeli aircraft killed another Islamic Jihad ghter before dawn on Wednesday, Hamas security ofcials said. The Israeli military said the dead man had smuggled weapons into Gaza and was involved in militant activity in Egypts Sinai peninsula, near Israels southern border. Two more were killed and 20 wounded in airstrikes early Thursday, Palestinians said. One targeted an Islamic Jihad club. The Israeli military said its aircraft hit a weapons storage facility and smuggling tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border, retaliation for Wednesdays rocket re.

North Korea reported ready to halt WMD tests

MOSCOW North Korean leader Kim Jong Il says his country is ready to impose a nuclear test and production moratorium if international talks on its atomic program resume, in Pyongyangs latest effort to restart long-stalled, aidfor-disarmament talks. It remains to be seen, however, whether Kims reported gesture at a summit Wednesday with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev will satisfy the most skeptical of the five other nations at talks meant to end the Norths nuclear weapons ambitions the United States, South Korea and Japan.

Around the world

U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Wednesday that Kim Jong Ils reported offer to refrain from nuclear and missile tests was a welcome rst step but not enough to restart six-party disarmament talks.

Libyan rebels hunt Gadhafi

By Ben Hubbard and Karin Laub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TRIPOLI, Libya Libyans hunting Moammar Gadha offered a $2 million bounty on the fallen dictators head and amnesty for anyone who kills or captures him as rebels battled Wednesday to clear the last pockets of resistance from the capital Tripoli. While some die-hard loyalists kept up the ght to defend Gadha, his support was crumbling by the hour. His deputy intelligence chief defected, and even his foreign minister said his 42-year rule was over. A deant Gadha vowed from hiding to ght on until victory or martyrdom, in an audio message early Wednesday. He may have little choice. Asked by the British broadcaster Channel 4 if a negotiated settlement or safe passage for Gadha from Libya was still possible, Foreign Minister Abdul Ati al-Obeidi said: It looks like things have passed this kind of solution. Rebel leaders were beginning to set up a new government in the capital. Their interim administration, the National Transitional Council, has been based in the eastern city of Benghazi, which fell under rebel control shortly after the outbreak of widespread protests in February. Members of the council are now

moving one by one from Benghazi to Tripoli, said Mansour Seyf alNasr, the Libyan oppositions new ambassador to France. Rebel ofcials are eager to prove they can bring a stable political future to Libya, and that their movement is more than an often-fractious collection of tribes, ethnicities and semiautonomous militias. Mahmoud Jibril, the head of the opposition government, outlined plans for a new constitution and elections and said officials were talking to the U.N. about sending up to 200 monitors to help ensure security in Tripoli. But the capital was far from pacied. A day after rebels captured Gadhas vast Bab al-Aziziya compound, the symbolic center of his regime, loyalists were ring into the compound from an adjacent neighborhood where intense clashes broke out. Pro-regime snipers cut off the road to the airport. Four Italian journalists were kidnapped on the highway to Tripoli around the city of Zawiya, 30 miles west of the capital.

TRIPOLI, Libya Moammar Gadhafis son al-Saadi liked fast cars, yachts and soccer, and his beachfront villa was stocked with his expensive toys. His sister Aisha lived in a two-story mansion with an indoor pool and sauna. As rebels took control of the Libyan capital over the weekend, the luxurious homes symbols of the Gadha familys excesses were among their first targets. After driving out the guards, rebels trashed and looted the villas and neighbors wandered through the wreckage Wednesday expressing their anger at the Gadha familys wealth and ostentatious tastes. I cant even believe what I am seeing, said Muftah Shubri, a resident of Tripolis western Noeen neighborhood, as he walked across Aishas lawn to the large covered pool where a ball and a small rubber boat still oated in the water. Gadhafis 42-year rule over

Libya had increasingly become a family business, with the dictator divvying up key spheres of interest, from oil to security, among his six sons. In recent years, the Gadhafi offspring had been involved in a series of scandals: Hannibal got arrested in 2008 in Switzerland for mistreating his servants in a Geneva luxury hotel and Muatassim reportedly paid $1 million for a private New Years concert by Beyonce. Al-Saadi, a 38-year-old soccer aficionado, was described in a 2009 WikiLeaks cable from the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli as having a troubled past, including run-ins with police in Europe, drug and alcohol abuse and excessive partying. On Monday, a day after thousands of rebels rode into Tripoli, about 200 people stormed alSaadis home on the Mediterranean, said Seifallah Gneidi, a 23-year-old Tripoli rebel who participated in the looting.

Anti-tax Republicans?
The Hawk Eye, Burlington, Iowa

Other voices
percent on Jan. 1. Make no mistake, the reason the Republicans are even considering letting the tax reduction expire is because Obama gets credit for this break to the American taxpayer. These are the same people who fought tooth and nail to prevent the marginal tax rate on the nations super rich to revert back from 35 percent to the 39 percent rate it was during the Ronald Reagan years, through the 1990s, when Bill Clinton was president and the nation experienced economic prosperity. The payroll tax is designated for Social

hose anti-tax Republicans arent so anti-tax after all, unless youre in the wealthiest category of the American taxpayer. If youre among the working stiffs like most of us, some Republicans dont think youre paying your fair share of the federal payroll tax. Its a tax President Barack Obama was able to get reduced from 6.2 percent of your wages down to 4.2 percent. It was reduced last year during another round of spending compromises between the White House and Republicans in Congress. If its not extended, it will return to 6.2

Security, and the most anyone can benet from the 2 percent reduction is $2,136. They stop deducting for the tax once you start earning more than $106,600. But most people arent earning that much. If youre taxable earnings total $40,000, youre getting an $800 break from Uncle Sam. In a years time, the loss to the federal treasury is $120 billion a year. Had the government allowed the Bush-era tax cuts to expire on the wealthiest Americans, it would have generated an additional $700 billion a year in tax revenue. But Republicans fought hard to keep the government from doing that. Republican should remember there is one thing the rich and the poor have that is of equal value their vote.

Bathroom blessings
pox on your house! Or is that a poo? The latter might be true for thieves who stole Bibles from a group of Franciscan friars in Florence. Armed with little in the way of recourse and bound by the tenets of religion, decency and maybe even a surprise sprinkle of humor, this band of brothers did the only thing they could. They prayed that the criminals be plagued by a bout of diarrhea. Thats right. No damning to hell for this crowd, although, a serious case of stomach problems can certainly make one wish they were dead and make backroom deals with God to deliver a strong dose of spiritual Pepto. The friars at the 15th century church of San Salvatore al Monte were beside themselves when rst one rare Bible disappeared from their church followed in quick order by the theft of a replacement. The friars pinned up a note in the church that read We pray to God that the thief is struck by a strong bout of the sh--ts. That is the actual crude wording, according to local news reports. Nothing indirect or delicate here. No politically correct entreaties for the delivery of sensitive stomachs and gurgling bowels. Instead, the friars are making no bones about their spiritual wish list and something tells me that if God is listening Montezuma will have nothing when it comes to exacting revenge. Before poo-pooing this idea as a total, um, waste, think about the possibilities of prayer as punishment. Law enforcement will no longer need to use shot spotters, shady jail house snitches or good old fashioned shoe leather to collar criminals. Instead, they simply head to the most crowded public rest rooms and ask the local drug stores to keep tabs on who is buying up the Alka-Seltzer and pink bismuth. Soon these products will be more sought-after in the black market than super-ephedrine. Yes, there might be something said for praying that the bad people of the world get a trip to the outhouse instead of just the proverbial doghouse. In fact, the rest of the world could learn a thing or two although why stop at those who directly insult or injure people who rely on the power of prayer? Why not for the secular sects some hocus-pocus and hexes for the criminal, the annoying or the downright silly? BART protesters may all of your feet fall asleep so that you cannot make it down the steps to subterranean stations or march down Market Street in the middle of rush house. BART police, you can also get nger cramps. Makes it more difcult to point and shoot that way. Or what about legislators who cant stop bickering enough to pass a budget, x a decit or do much more than worry about their next pre-election photo opp? Heres praying their taxpayer-funded vehicles blow a tire and their coif de-poufs with every snap of the camera. But lets not get carried away just yet. First, lets see if the Franciscan method of punishment actually works to keep the guilty party or parties from committing another crime. Better yet would be if the thief or thieves once their stomachs settle, of course return the Bibles and beg forgiveness. That will be the only way to wipe away their sins.

Letters to the editor

The GOP and its benefactors
Editor, GOP May Approve Tax Increase published in the Aug. 22 edition of the Daily Journal displays the typical Republican rationale for screwing the increasing number of poor and disappearing middle class Americans. The extension of the 2 percent reduction of social security taxes would help these people. But why would the GOP want to help these people who generally have a high propensity to consume (and help stimulate the economy) when they can continue to stuff the pockets of their wealthy benefactors? A recent PBS Newshour program brought to my attention that the wealthiest 20 percent of Americans own 84 percent of our national wealth, while the poorest 40 percent own 0.3 percent of the national wealth and the remaining 40 percent own 15.7 percent of the national wealth. GOP, keep up your good job of continuing to screw the vast majority of Americans. somewhere else to buy their products. That is called consumerism and competition in the market place. If those same businesses and corporations want to take it out on their employees, then that is simply a poor business decision which has nothing to do with paying their fair share of taxes. If the businesses want to alienate their employees and cause poor employee morale, thus reducing productivity and prots, and take the chance of losing good quality employees, then they are simply making a poor business decision. The cardinal rule in business is, take care of your employees and they will take care of you and your business. In Mr. Faveros letter to the editor (Taxing corporate published in the Aug. 22 issue of the Daily Journal) Mr. Favero seems more interested in how making businesses and corporations pay their fair share of taxes would affect his 401K and IRAs investments and does not seem to care about what is best for our state, our country and our citizens. It is that type of me, myself and I thinking that is destroying our country. Mr. Favero incorrectly claims that businesses and corporations who are made to pay their fair share of taxes will layoff employees and outsource those jobs to other countries. Government taxes and EPA regulations do not do that; the private sector has always done that. Why? Simple, for more money and prots. To businesses and corporations, it is prots rst and people second. That is what Mr. Favero is saying. Mr. Favero, it does not work like that. in statutes incidents are more than 10 years ago and the out of statute incidents are as old as 20 years. If he was a serial pedophile, it has not been proven, and no one has come forth with creditable proof of alleged criminal behavior for more than a decade. Convene a county grand jury to decide what failures occurred in the Dr. Ayres investigation that was reopened in 2008. The grand jury can make recommendations to establish written protocols to support existing laws, rules, procedures and policies. In addition, the District Attorneys Ofce should be questioned about the many he said, she said issues. It is noted that when one does not get the results they require for their agenda, the truth may become embellished and parsed to support ones position; the victims, the public and government agencies do not have the right to ride roughshod simply because there is a difference of opinion or because emotions are frayed. I think that the Ayres case is one of the most important cases brought to the people of California. But it is one of the worst cases presented simply because it was poorly investigated and staff was not dispatched to eastern locales to check the written records or get court ordered deposition. That is not good enough for government work.

Ted Dimitre Millbrae

Mr. Favero, it does not work like that

Editor, Tony Favero continues the tired old and incorrect GOP themed opinion, Dont make businesses and corporations pay their fair share of taxes and eliminate the tax-breaks and loopholes, because they will punish their customers by raising their prices on consumables and punish their employees by reducing their contributions to the employees 401Ks and IRAs, plus, layoff employees and outsource jobs. Mr. Favero, this is not true and everyone knows it. It does not work like that. If businesses and corporations, big or small, are forced to nally pay the level of taxes they should be paying, they are nally paying the cost of doing business. If they want to raise prices, then consumers will just go

Jack Kirkpatrick Redwood City

Why should we be surprised?

Editor, With approval ratings down and elections looming, the Obama administration, in a surprise announcement said it will review the deportation cases of 300,000 illegal immigrants and might allow many of them to stay in the United States. Why do we need immigration laws?

Wall Street
15.25 points, or 1.3 percent, to 1,177.60. The Nasdaq rose 21.63, or 0.9 percent, to 2,467.69. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note jumped to 2.29 percent from 2.15 percent late Tuesday. The yield had fallen below 2 percent last week, a record low, as investors piled into lower-risk assets. Bond yields fall when demand for them rises. Large swings in the stock market have been commonplace this August. In the week after Standard & Poors stripped the U.S. of its AAA rating Aug. 5, the Dow alternated between 400-point gains and losses four days in a row. That had never happened before. The stock market often takes sudden turns in late August anyway, because fewer traders are at their desks, said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at the brokerage BTIG. Lower trading volumes often make for a more volatile market. Its kind of crazy. I blinked and in 15 minutes the market had turned, Greenhaus said. But in the last two weeks of August, wild swings like this are not out of the ordinary. Another reason for the recent jumpiness is the debate over the possibility of another U.S. recession.

Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market: NYSE Bank of America Corp.,up 69 cents at $6.99 The banks shares rebounded after a long selloff.

Sprint Nextel Corp.,down 14 cents at $3.45 The countrys No. 3 wireless carrier will reportedly start selling the iPhone 5 which could help boost its market share.

NEW YORK A late afternoon surge pushed stocks higher for the third day straight. The Dow Jones industrial average nished with a gain of 144 points Wednesday, but only after veering much of the day from gains to losses and back again. Gold plunged $104 an ounce and government bond yields rose as investors became less fearful. An encouraging rise in orders for cars, aircraft and other long-lasting goods in July helped ease worries that the U.S. was headed for another recession. The government said durable goods orders rose 4 percent, the biggest increase since March. Orders fell in June. The stock market spent most of the day looking like a driver given bad directions. The Dow headed lower at the start of trading, turned up 115 points by 10 a.m., then pulled another U-turn and was down 48 points shortly after midday. Near the end of the day, the Dow retraced its route and rose steadily in the last 90 minutes of trading to end up 143.95 points, or 1.3 percent, at 11,320.71. The Dow had surged 322 points the day before, the biggest gain since Aug. 11. The Standard & Poors 500 index rose

Steve Jobs resigning as CEO

Financial turmoil intensifies home buyers anxiety
The past month wasnt exactly a condence-booster for would-be home buyers and sellers. Theyve witnessed a turbulent stock market, a downgrade of U.S. credit, a spreading European debt crisis and a U.S. economy that seems to be running in place. And now many say theyre even more hesitant a retreat that could further delay a rebound in housing. It could hold back the overall economy, too. I have people who are just waiting and waiting, who just havent pulled the trigger even though they have the down payment, said John Stearns, senior mortgage banker at American Fidelity Mortgage outside Milwaukee.

SAN FRANCISCO Steve Jobs, the mind behind the iPhone, iPad and other devices that turned Apple Inc. into one of the worlds most powerful companies, resigned as the companys CEO on Wednesday, saying he can no longer handle the job. The move appears to be the result of an unspecied medical condition for which he took an indenite leave from his post in January. Apples chief operating ofcer, Tim Cook, has been named CEO. In a letter addressed to Apples board and the Apple community, Jobs said he always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apples CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come. Jobs health has long been a concern for Apple investors who see him as an industry oracle who seems to know what consumers want long before they

do. After his announcement, Apple stock quickly fell 5.4 percent in after-hours trading. Earlier this month Apple became the most valuable company in America, briefly surpassing Steve Jobs Exxon Mobil. At the market close Wednesday its market value was $349 billion, just behind Exxon Mobils $358 billion. The company said Jobs gave the board his resignation Wednesday and suggested Cook be named the companys new leader. Apple said Jobs was elected board chairman and Cook is becoming a member of its board. Jobs hits seemed to grow bigger as the years went on: After the colorful iMac computer and the now-ubiquitous iPod, the iPhone redened the category of smart phones and the iPad all but created the market for tablet computers. His own aura seemed part of the attraction. On stage at trade shows and

company events in his uniform of jeans, sneakers and black mock-turtlenecks, hed entrance audiences with new devices, new colors, new software features, building up to a grand nale hed predictably preface by saying, One more thing. Jobs, 56, shepherded Apple from a two-man startup to Silicon Valley darling when the Apple II, the rst computer for regular people to really catch on, sent IBM Corp. and others scrambling to get their own PCs to market. After Apple suffered a slump in the mid-1980s, he was forced out of the company. He was CEO at Next, another computer company, and Pixar, the computer-animation company that produced Toy Story on his watch, during the 10 years before he returned. Apple was foundering before he returned, having lost $900 million in 1996 as Microsoft Windows-based PCs dominated the computer market. The companys fortunes began to turn around with its rst new product under his direction, the iMac, which launched in 1998 and sold about 2 million in its rst 12 months.

Applied Materials expects weaker 4Q

SANTA CLARA Chipmaking equipment manufacturer Applied Materials Inc. reported a larger third-quarter prot Wednesday, but said the fourth quarter will be weaker because of the shaky economy and decreased demand from solar customers. Applied Materials is a barometer for technology spending because major makers of chips and LCD screens and even solar cells are big customers and depend on its equipment. Its shares fell 51 cents, or 4.5 percent, to $10.85 in aftermarket trading. While the fundamental drivers of our markets remain strong, we are seeing softness in our business resulting from the uncertain economic environment and overcapacity in solar, said Chairman and CEO Mike Splinter.

Google settles pharmacy ad probe for $500M

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PROVIDENCE, R.I. Google Inc. has agreed to pay $500 million to settle a U.S. government investigation into the Internet search leaders distribution of online ads from Canadian pharmacies illegally selling prescription drugs to American consumers. The settlement means Google will not face criminal prosecution for accusa-

tions that it improperly proted from ads promoting Canadian pharmacies that illegally imported drugs into the United States, Rhode Island U.S. Attorney Peter F. Neronha said. It is the rst time an Internet search engine is being held responsible for the illegal distribution of drugs. It sends a clear message to both Google and to others that contribute to Americas pill problem that they will be held to account for endangering the

health and safety of the residents of this district and to persons all across the United States, said Neronha, who described the forfeiture as one of the largest in U.S. history. The $500 million represents the gross revenues Google collected in ad buys from hundreds of Canadian pharmacies, plus the earnings generated from the illegal drug sales to American consumers from 2003 to 2009, federal investigators said.

Sigma Designs suffers 2Q loss of $22M,stock falls

MILPITAS Sigma Designs Inc. sunk to a second-quarter loss after the maker of chips for home entertainment devices misjudged the demand for television set-top boxes. The company said Wednesday that it lost $22 million, or 69 cents per share, during the three months ending in July. That contrasted with net income of $495,000, or 2 cents per share, at the same time last year.

SAN FRANCISCO Amazon.com Inc. is expanding its new local deals site to New York and other parts of the country, hoping discount-happy consumers will ock to its offerings as they have embraced market leader Groupon.

With the additions, AmazonLocal will be operating in 30 locations in 10 states, all within about three months of the services initial launch in Boise, Idaho, in early June. Although its still small compared with the market leaders, Groupon and LivingSocial, it shows that Amazon is keen to leverage its popularity as an online retailer to compete in this nascent yet fast-growing market. Amazon also

has an investment in LivingSocial. Mike George, vice president of AmazonLocal, said an online deals site seemed like a natural t for Amazon because the company has always focused on helping customers nd anything they want to buy. This felt like a very comfortable and logical extension of our general mission, he said.

The time is now for Colts

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The El Camino Colts wont be lacking for senior leadership in 2011. According to second-year head coach Mark Turner, of the 35 players suiting up to play varsity football, 25 of them are seniors who played considerable minutes during a 2010 campaign that saw the Colts nish 3-2 in the Peninsula Athletic League Lake Division. The record was good for a threeway tie for second place. Its this experience-heavy team that has Turner and the Colts feeling like the Lake could be theirs for the taking. My expectations are really high, Turner said. I have a veteran, senior group. Not all of them were starters last year, but they got a lot of valuable experience behind some kids that were starters last year. When youre a senior, a lot of times, that last off-season is when youre switch goes off. We have some guys that have had some great off-seasons. Expectations are high. Optimism should be high with the team from South San Francisco of the three divisions in the PAL, the one with the most question marks is the Lake, which promoted reigning champion Sequoia to the Ocean Division. Thus, a senior-laden team, with extensive experience like El Camino, might be considered one of the favorites. But all that speculation starts and stops with the play of the both lines, and for that, Turner will turn to a couple of two-way players for contributions. Chris Pola and Aaron Hill will lead the efforts in the trenches for El Camino on both sides of the football. Hes going to be a big part of what we do up front, Turner said of Hill. Running through the O-line and hopefully into the end zone, will be D.J. Peluso, El Caminos stud running back. At the high school level, you have to control the line of scrimmage, Turner said.

Carlmont is taking it one day at a time

Carlmont football coach Jason Selli doesnt know what to expect from his Scots squad for the 2011 season. All he knows is that he is facing a major rebuilding project with only ve returning players. Were thin on experience and thin on numbers, Selli said. This is the year you walk into that rebuilding year. This year is a challenging year for us. But as they say, you just never know. Last year in his rst season back for his second stint as the Scots coach, Selli had no idea what to expect and yet they found themselves a win over Sequoia away from clinching the Peninsula Athletic Leagues Lake Division title and an automatic playoff berth. Instead, the Scots settled for a second-place tie with both Hillsdale and El Camino. As such, Selli doesnt put the emphasis on winning or losing, or the number of points scored. Last year, I didnt know what the expectations were. I think we exceeded them in some ways. Whenever you take over an inexperienced team, you dont really know what to expect, Selli said. You dont want to focus on wins and losses. You have to focus on the journey. Carlmont returns just ve players from last years squad. Luckily for the Scots, they play key positions. Quarterback Jack Karassky returns with a year of varsity experience under his belt and Selli is counting that experience to guide the offense. Because of the graduation of star running back Robert Johnson, the bulk of the attention will initially fall on the quarterbacks shoulders. Hes a good leader. A smart kid. He has

Guerrero takes latest setback in stride I

f there is any justice in this world, Gilroy-based boxer Robert The Ghost Guerrero will win multiple world championships, defend them multiple times and then ride off into the sunset a wealthy, content man. Because Guerrero is the poster child for horrible luck. First, his career was derailed for a couple of years as he stood by his wife as she battled cancer not just once, but twice. After his wife disease went into remission the rst time, Guerrero fought a couple of times before taking another extended break when the cancer came back. With doctors telling his family the coast was clear for the foreseeable future, Guerrero got back in the ring. He was just over a week away from the biggest ght of his career a Saturday night Pay-Per-View bout at the HP Pavilion in San Jose against Marcos Maidana for the WBA Super Lightweight title. A win against Maidana Saturday would have vaulted Guerrero onto the national scene, he would have started moving up in weight to take on bigger name ghters and everything was starting to nally go Guerrero way. Until he hurt his shoulder in training. He told RingTV.com, the online site of the popular boxing magazine The Ring, an MRI revealed he partially tore a tendon in the rotator cuff of his left shoulder and was facing at least a six-month rehab, which, once again, puts his promising career on hold. Yet despite all the setbacks, Guerrero remains positive and upbeat, even in the face of his latest battle. I feel good. I feel good about everything, Guerrero told RingTV.com. Im just excited that everything is in motion and that I can get back into the ring and get back in there and start training hard. That will get me ready to go full-force when I can later on. Guerrero is truly one of the good guys in the ght game. By all appearances, the 28 year old is a solid family man, a God-fearing man and not at all a loudmouth or knucklehead, like many ghters are. If there was anyone who could ever whine, Why me? its this guy. And yet despite bad news after bad news, he maintains his sunny disposition. The rest of the hard-core boxing world knows Guerrero is one of the good guys. The Boxing Writers Association of America recognized Guerrero with the Bill Crawford Award for Courage in the Face of Adversity award. Now its time for the rest of the sporting world to recognize Guerreros unbelievable tenacity for life in the ring and out. Unfortunately, hell have to wait awhile, again, for that to happen. *** While video games may not, technically, belong in a sports column, I dont care: its my column and I write what I want. Besides, if poker is considered a sport, so is video gaming.

As make it two straight over Yanks

By Mike Fitzpatrick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

As 6, Yankees 4
Feels good, interim manager Bob Melvin said. Weve got one more game to play tomorrow. We win the rst two, got to try to get greedy. Well talk about that a little bit tomorrow, but its certainly a nice start to what looks to be a tough road trip. Coco Crisp Trevor Cahill finally held New York in check, Brian Fuentes pitched out of a seventh-inning jam and the As improved to 7-26 against the Yankees since 2008. The last time Oakland won a series against New York was the summer of 2007, when it took two of three at old Yankee Stadium. Crisp also walked during a perfect night at the plate and matched career highs for hits and RBIs. The As have won six of eight following a four-game skid. Fautino De Los Santos (2-0) struck out two in a perfect ninth. Andrew Bailey earned his 18th save in 20 chances, closing out the Yankees for the second straight night. He gave up a solo shot with two outs to Swisher, who barely missed a game-winning grand slam against the right-hander Tuesday when the ball was caught at the fence for the nal out. Cliff Pennington and Sizemore singled with

NEW YORK A sudden power surge by Coco Crisp knocked the New York Yankees out of rst place. Crisp homered twice and drove in ve runs, going 4 for 4 with a three-run shot in the 10th inning that sent the Oakland Athletics to a 6-4 victory Wednesday night. The loss dropped the Yankees a game behind Boston in the AL East when the Red Sox nished a 13-2 rout of Texas. New York has a 7 1/2-game lead in the wild-card race. They have the best players in baseball without a doubt, Crisp said. You go every position, theres no letup. For us to come out here with our young guys and keep our composure in this intense ballpark said a lot. No. 9 batter Scott Sizemore was 4 for 4 with a tying double off CC Sabathia in the eighth and Oakland won at Yankee Stadium for the second consecutive night to clinch a series victory. The As had lost 10 straight series against New York, an Oakland record for futility against any team. Nick Swisher homered twice and Mark Teixeira also connected for the Yankees, who played without Alex Rodriguez (sprained left thumb) for the second straight game. New York had dropped only two of its previous 20 series since June 10. Oakland goes for a three-game sweep Thursday afternoon with Rich Harden on the mound against Phil Hughes.

one out in the 10th against Rafael Soriano (22), who had been very effective since returning July 29 from a long stint on the disabled list. Jemile Weeks struck out but Crisp hit the next pitch, a hanging slider, into the second deck in right for his seventh homer. Today wasnt my day. I left a couple pitches up, Soriano said through a translator. It was the second career multihomer game for Crisp the other one came on June 18, 2007, with Boston at Atlanta. He went deep from both sides of the plate Wednesday, jumping on the rst pitch both times. Hes an aggressive hitter, we know that, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. He was aggressive tonight and he was the guy who beat us. Teixeira tied it in the eighth with a long leadoff homer on a 3-1 pitch from Grant Balfour. Looking for his 18th win, Sabathia squandered a one-run lead in the eighth. Sizemore tied it with an RBI double and Crisp gave Oakland a 3-2 lead with an RBI single off David Robertson. Its tough, Sabathia said. Obviously, a 21 lead in the eighth inning, you want to shut it down. Derek Jeter kept it close by stretching out for Hideki Matsuis low liner to shortstop, starting an unassisted double play that ended the inning. Sabathia gave up a home run to his second batter, Crisp, but little else until the eighth. The big lefty also beneted from some sharp

defense. New York opened the sixth with a pinpoint relay when Weeks tried to stretch a long double. With the score tied and nobody out, Weeks probably would have been wise to hold at second. Back in the dugout, Melvin came over for a quick chat with the rookie. Swisher put the Yankees ahead 2-1 in the bottom half with an opposite-eld homer to left-center off Cahill, who allowed two runs in six-plus innings. The 23-year-old right-hander, an All-Star in 2010, entered 0-4 with a 13.50 ERA in four career starts against New York. I felt pretty condent out there. I wasnt afraid to get hit. It couldnt get too much worse than it did last time, Cahill said. Denitely when you struggle in a place like this so much, putting together a decent start helps out a little bit, your condence. I feel like we had that condence that whole game where we can nally beat these guys in one series, and we were lucky to be able to do that. Swisher also had a three-run shot Tuesday night. Jeter delivered an RBI single in the third, his fth hit in ve at-bats. That gave the captain 3,055 career hits, tying ex-Yankee Rickey Henderson for 21st place all-time. NOTES: Harden matched a career high with 11 strikeouts in his most recent outing, a 2-0 victory Friday over Toronto, and is 3-0 with a 1.78 ERA in four starts against AL East clubs.

Beltran homers as Giants beat Padres

By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Giants 2, Padres 1
The biggest and best news for the Giants, however, was the rapid return of its once splashy signing. Beltran, acquired in a July 28 trade with the New York Mets, strained his hand and wrist swinging Carlos Beltran against Philadelphias Roy Oswalt on Aug. 7. The hard-hitting right elder was activated from the disabled list Tuesday and popped out in his lone pinch-hit appearance. Beltran was back to batting third in the lineup in the nale of a quick two-game set against San Diego. He singled and nished 2 for 4.

SAN FRANCISCO Carlos Beltran shook of the pain around his right wrist to hit his rst home run since being traded to San Francisco, powering the Giants past the San Diego Padres 2-1 on Wednesday night. Beltran returned to the starting lineup and sent a fastball from Tim Stauffer (8-10) over the wall in right eld in the fourth for his 16th home run of the season. The solo shot was the rst of his career at AT&T Park. Tim Lincecum (12-10) struck out seven and walked ve in eight innings, pitching out of the stretch again the entire game. He gave up three hits and also had the go-ahead RBI single. Santiago Casilla pitched a perfect ninth for his rst save of the season.

Nothing delighted the home fans more than giving Beltran a standing ovation after his fourth-inning shot put San Francisco ahead 10. Giants fans are hoping Beltran can awaken a slumping offense and help carry the defending World Series champions back to the playoffs. If nothing else, they hope its a sign of good things to come after weeks of little support. Rookie Brandon Belt led off the fth with his first career triple. Two batters later, Lincecum hit a chopper over the rst baseman to give the Giants a 2-0 lead. After Cameron Maybin singled to start the sixth for the Padres, Beltran again found himself at the center of another big play. He dove for a ball near the right corner and missed, allowing Orlando Hudson to slide in for a triple and San Diego to slice the decit to 2-1. The Padres never could mount anything offensively.

The Giants avoided having to face closer Heath Bell, who they claimed off waivers. San Diego has 48 hours from the time Bell was claimed to decide whether to work out a trade with San Francisco, allow him to be claimed or pull him back from waivers. NOTES: Home run king Barry Bonds was sitting with his son in box seats near the Giants dugout. He snagged a foul ball in the eighth inning. ... U.S. womens soccer team members Abby Wabash and Megan Rapinoe were in attendance. Both were wearing Panda hats, which Giants fans often wear in support of 3B Pablo Sandoval. ... The Padres optioned RHP Pat Neshek to Triple-A Tucson. ... RHP Ryan Vogelsong (10-3, 2.47 ERA) starts for the Giants against Houstons RHP Henry Sosa (0-2, 6.35 ERA) in the opener of a four-game series Thursday. ... San Diego is off Thursday and begins a three-game series at Arizona on Friday.

X factor might not be enough for Argos

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Willis works to be complete

SANTA CLARA Theyve asked All-Pro Patrick Willis to blitz, and he is all for it. Even as a kid with big football dreams, Willis realized being onedimensional would not take him very far on the eld. He still works each day, now as a fth-year pro and already an elite NFL linebacker, to reinvent himself and improve his game. Willis, who maintains the proper manners of his Southern upbringing Yes, maam, Yes, sir, he says with a smile is clearly having fun doing it in San Franciscos new system, too. I always felt to be the best, whether as a kid and you were playing around, or whether its playing against other opponents during school, you had to be a complete guy, Willis said Wednesday as the 49ers geared up for Saturday nights home exhibition game with Houston. I feel that way. I feel that every day is an opportunity for me to go out there and work on things Im not so good on, and the things I do do well, just polish them and make them even better. He does a lot of things very well. During practice last week, Willis made a pretty pick on a throw by rookie quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Willis returned the interception all the way, gleefully yelling, Hey, touchdown! as he scurried into the end zone. He has been as active as ever in first-year coach Jim Harbaughs spirited training camp, and new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio likes what he sees. Harbaugh and Fangio believe Willis can evolve into a reliable pass-rusher for the rebuilding 49ers. Patrick Willis has been outstanding, Harbaugh said. As a playmaker, its like any position, you want to get better at every facet of your game, and his tempo and the timing of the blitz and the instincts of it. He could be great at it, and I think thats what Coach Fangio sees. We all see that. Just perfecting all those techniques and details is what Patricks working on. He had a Patrick Willis team-leading 128 tackles with six sacks and two forced fumbles last season. Willis, who developed into a dynamic defensive playmaker under fired coach and Hall of Fame linebacker Mike Singletary, has led the 49ers in tackles in each of his NFL seasons since San Francisco selected him with the 11th overall pick in 2007 out of Mississippi. I want to continue to build what we have now and make it even stronger, Willis said. The 49ers rewarded Willis last year for the player he already has been in a young career. In May 2010, Willis received a $50 million, five-year contract extension that takes him through the 2016 season and includes $29 million in guaranteed money. He earns $10 million per season. For Willis and many others on the Niners, this marks yet another new start under another new regime. Not to mention another season of high hopes after the disappointment of a 6-10 finish last year, when San Francisco fully expected to win the NFC West and return to the playoffs but instead started 0-5. This team hasnt been to the postseason or had a winning record since 2002. Theres a fresh vibe around the 49ers in 2011 with Harbaugh leading the way. Coach Fangio, I like the defense that he has in place for us. Opportunity awaits us all from every position, Willis said. When opportunity comes you have to capitalize. Thats what Im thinking. Im not going in saying, Coach, I want to rush, I want to rush. But if he calls my number then I want to be able to get the job done in any aspect. Thats my focus. When my numbers called Ive got to make it count. In the final week last season, Willis underwent a second surgical procedure for a broken right hand and missed a start and game for the rst time in his career. That after he played two games with a bulky cast on his hurt hand. Voted to his fourth Pro Bowl in as many seasons, Willis sat out footballs all-star game injured for the second year in a row. Willis said being sidelined helped him mature. He knew sitting out one game was in his best interest and the teams for the long-term. Now, he is eager to do whatever he can to aid in a turnaround for this once-proud franchise. Yes, he has made some improvement in his rush abilities, still not where he wants to be, nor Id like to see him at, but the one thing about Patrick, when hes got something in his mind, he goes very hard to try and improve it, both mentally and physically, Fangio said. He has the ability to improve in that area greatly and I trust that he will just because of who he is. The 49ers open the season Sept. 11 at Candlestick Park against the division rival and reigning NFC West champion Seahawks. Seattle embarrassed San Francisco 31-6 in the 2010 opener. Willis and Co. remember it all too well. With Coach Harbaugh, everything we do is quick tempo. Its his way of getting our conditioning in but also being fast every play, beating the clock, Willis said. Right now, were just trying to get our offense in, get our defense in, get our special teams in, build this team. Preseason is preseason. For us its about putting in the work now so when Sept. 11 comes, were ready. Notes: RB Frank Gore, seeking a new long-term contract, heard that general manager Trent Baalke went on the radio and said he hoped the two-time Pro Bowler would be a Niner for life. I believe him, Gore told the AP on Wednesday. I want to be here.

Fans of Notre Dame de Namur volleyball know her as X as in exciting, extraordinary, or excellent. Her name is Christina Villamayor, a senior outside hitter, who in 2011 will lead a young team of Argonanuts through the tough PacWest Conference in hopes of improving on a sixth-place nish in 2010. Shes an amazing player, said second-year head coach Nicole Annaloro. Were denitely going to rely on her just because shes such an impact player. Its hard not to. She puts the ball away, she does what needs to be done on the court and she adds a defensive component with her passing. Shes just an overall player. Villamayors impact on the Argos cannot be understated in 2011 on her very young squad, shell probably have to duplicate a stellar 2010 for NDNU to make some legitimate noise in the PacWest. In 2010, Villamayor earned her third-straight selection onto the AllPacWest steam, this time as a First Team member. She ranked second in the PacWest in kills per game (4.17), third in kills (359), sixth in aces per game ( 0.31) and ninth in digs per game (3.74). Villamayor also nished third in the conference in total points (395.5). Villamayor performed well nationally as well, nishing the season 11th in Division II in kills per game and 19th in points per game. It marked the rst time an Argonaut nished in the top-50 in the nation in either category. But Annaloro knows that X cannot do all the heavy lifting. Last year, she (Villamayor) took a lot of reps, Annaloro said. And thats difcult for any player to do. I admire that she was able to do that, because she was our go-to player all around. It was my goal this year to

Were denitely going to rely on her just because shes such as impact player.
Nicole Annaloro,NDNU coach on standout Christina Villamayor

bring in players that would compliment her and help her at the net. I think Ive done a pretty good job, recruiting a couple of players that will assist in that area. Nine of the 14 players on the 2011 squad are newcomers. Of the six that return, Colleen Stafford, Paulina Akiona and Tatiana Wesley will be key for the Argonauts. (With Colleen) its about court leadership. Shes going to be moving into the setter role and having a year under her belt is going to be huge. Shes just a natural leader, Annaloro said. Paulina is going to be changing roles, where last year she was more of an outside hitter, this year shes going to be more of a defensive specialist because shes quick and reads the ball well. Their experience will be invaluable for the Argos. It could have gone either way, bringing in eight recruits, Annaloro said. But the team chemistry is strong. Jennifer Jasper is one of those impact recruits. Shes a transfer student from De Anza College. Shes a powerful middle, Annaloro said. I recognize that (youth) is going to be a factor this year, Annaloro said. It doesnt bother me because I feel like were in it together and the girls are going to grow together. So, its going to be a rough year, in that theres a lot of inexperience, but I dont necessarily see that as a bad thing. We might struggle this year, but I think its going to pay off.

Rod Woodson adjusts to life as coach with Raiders

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NAPA In one of the highestprole moves of the offseason, the Oakland Raiders lost an All-Pro cornerback when Nnamdi Asomugha signed as a free agent with the Philadelphia Eagles. More than ve months earlier, the Raiders had added an All-Pro cornerback when they hired Rod Woodson as assistant defensive backs coach. Woodsons main task is to help develop four young cornerbacks the Raiders have drafted the past two seasons into reliable NFL players as Oakland tries to replace Asomugha. Eight years after retiring from the

NFL, Woodson is using his Hall of Fame playing credentials to try to teach a young group of cornerbacks how to succeed. Its a start. But if I tell them to go the wrong way, its not going to last too long, he said. Im just trying to point them in the right direction. Each player is different. Every player learns differently. Some guys are audio learners, some guys are visual, some guys need to do the reps. The things that I did in my career, I cant ask the same guy to do the same thing. It really depends upon their abilities. Few had abilities like Woodson, who was one of the leagues all-time best defensive backs during a 17year career with Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Baltimore and Oakland.

Woodson was named to the NFLs 75th Anniversary Team, won the AP Defensive Player of the Year award for Pittsburgh in 1993, went to three Super Bowls, was named to 11 Pro Bowls, picked for the 1990s alldecade team and selected rst-team All Pro six times. Woodsons 71 career interceptions rank third all-time in NFL history. He is the career leader in interception returns for touchdowns (12), and interception return yardage (1,483). The guy is a rst-class gentleman and obviously a rst-class football player, Raiders coach Hue Jackson said. Obviously that gives you instant credibility when you talk to guys about what to do, how to do it and why you need to do it this way.

Since retiring after the 2003 season, Woodson had spent time refreshing his body and working as a television analyst. But he realized he also wanted to get into coaching. So he called Jackson and told him he wanted to coach and Jackson was receptive to the idea of adding a Hall of Famer to his coaching staff. The players say Woodson has taken to his new job. Hes always teaching. Always, cornerback Stanford Routt said. Whether its in the meeting room, lunch room, whether its in the restroom, hes always teaching. The biggest thing hes probably said is, Pull the trigger. Just make plays, dont be afraid to mess up. If you do, just come back the next play and make up for it.

Woodson said he models himself after many of the coaches he played for during his brilliant career, including Chuck Noll, Tony Dungy, Rod Rust, Dick Lebeau, Dom Capers and Bill Cowher. He considered himself more of an instructor than a yeller on the practice eld, pulling aside players to give them advice rather than chewing them out. I dont think I need to scream and holler, he said. Every coach has his own style. At the end of the day, the train is leaving. Its going to leave with the guys or without the guys. My style is, if you want to get a paycheck, be on the train. I dont need to tell you that. At the end of the day, if youre not doing your job, youre going to get cut.

the U.S. championship game Saturday, while California must face the hometown favorites from Clinton County, Pa., on Thursday night. The early game was close, too, with Mexico beating Venezuela 2-1 to advance to the international nal. Bruno Ruizs ninth-inning homer was the difference. Montana and California had chances to prevent the game from going into extra innings. California couldnt break through after loading the bases with two outs in the top of the sixth. California starter Nick Pratto struck out nine over four innings, while Montana counterpart Cole McKenzie struck out four over 5 23 innings, aided by timely defense. He wiggled out a couple jams, including a bases-loaded threat in the second that ended with a runner thrown out at home following a passed ball. I dont know if he was the fastest pitcher weve ever seen, but it was the top three, McKenzie said about Pratto. California loaded the bases with two outs in the sixth on two walks and a hit batter, but the Montana fans breathed a collective sigh of relief after Hagen Danner lined the rst pitch from reliever Sean Jones right to Askelson in left for the inning-ending out. Runs were going to be tough to come by. We were dodging bullets there for a while, Montana manager Gene Carlson said. His players dont mind that theyre missing the first day of classes back home in Billings. McKenzie and Askelson both said it was their best rst day of school ever.

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. Ben Askelson stepped up to the plate thinking curveball. The 0-1 pitch in the bottom of the seventh didnt quite break though and stayed high in the strike zone the perfect spot for Montanas 13year-old slugger in the Little League World Series. Askelson hit the pitch onto the hill beyond the left-eld fence to send the boys from Billings into the U.S. final with a 1-0 victory over Huntington Beach, Calif., on Wednesday night. Everybody in the dugout was telling me to win it with one swing, but then they said, Just get a hit, we dont need a home run or anything, Askelson said. Now, Montana gets to rest up until

good skill sets, good footwork, a strong arm with pretty good accuracy, Selli said. Im hoping hell be able to pass a little more to make up for the loss of Rob Johnson. Given the task of replacing Johnson will be a pair of runners: senior Joe Lasala and junior Mark Concilla. Selli said they are different runners than Johnson, who was more of a quick-strike, make-somethinghappen-out-of nothing runner. Selli said Lasala and Concilla are both bigger and stronger and while they may not possess the sheer speed to run away from defenses, Selli is hoping they can do enough to keep the chains moving and the clock running. Well denitely look to grind out the yards with those guys, Selli said. Whats positive about these two backs is the fact its a different type of grinding out. Hopefully well control the clock and allow the offense to get in a rhythm. Hopefully well be able to execute a little better. These guys will be very effective. Providing the running lanes will be an fairly inexperienced offensive line, but the Scots do have two returners: Antoine Abinader and Giovani Tenorio. Theyre not the

Responsible for that throwing will be Richie Mathiesen, a 6-foot-4 senior, who has been working to acclimate into the El Camino system over the summer. Hes had a great off-season, so were looking for big things out of him, Turner said. One of El Caminos six returners is wide receiver Ronnie Francesconi, a big-time threat for the Colts in the air. El Camino averaged 29 points per game in 2010. On defense, the line will set the tone. Without a whole lot of depth, Turner is looking toward two-way players like Hill and Pola to pull double duty. Defensively, were changing, Turner said, well be moving some things around. Were not as big this year, last year we had a four-down line. This year, well probably do a lot more three-down lineman type of things just so we can get quicker type of kids on the eld as far as our linebacking corps is concerned. Were

Joining him will be Peluso, who is moving from a linebacker slot last year into the safety position this season. The schedule is tough right off the bat for the Colts. Theyll travel to Atherton to face the Bay Division Menlo-Atherton Bears. That will be one of two Bay Division match-ups for El Camino.

biggest guys, but they have experience. But just because the rest of the line in relatively new, Selli wont be using it as an excuse. You cut these new guys no slack because they were prepping for this (becoming a starter) last year, Selli said. Many of the same guys who will be counted on making plays on offense will also be expected to be big contributors on defense, as well. As is usually the case, the defense is ahead of the offense right now, with Abinader and Tenorio leading the way from the defensive end and nose guard spots, respectively. Hes strong, hes tall, he has a really long reach and he plays with a lot of speed for the position he is, Selli said of Abinader, who played wide receiver at the frosh-soph level. Were hoping to use his speed on the weak side. Concilla and Lasala will lead the linebacking corps. With such an inexperienced squad, Selli said progress will be judged on a day-to-day and game-to-game basis. He said the biggest adjustment players have to make moving from the frosh-soph level to varsity is just the speed of the game: not just the speed of the players themselves but the pace of the game overall. When you go up a level and the competition improves, I think theres going to be a learning curve, Selli said. You learn the speed, then you start to make those adjustments.

Sports brief
Barry Bonds snags foul ball at Giants game
SAN FRANCISCO Home run king Barry Bonds made a rare appearance at a San Francisco Giants game Wednesday night, snagging a foul ball while sitting in the stands. The former Giants right elder was sitting in box seats near the home dugout when he caught a ball in the eighth inning. He smiled, waived the ball at fans and put it in his jacket pocket. Bonds retired after the 2007 season with a majors-best 762 home runs but his legacy has been tainted by steroids Barry Bonds accusations. He only makes it to Giants games a handful of times a year. Bonds was due back in federal court in San Francisco this week. His lawyers are working to persuade a federal judge to throw out his obstruction of justice conviction or grant him a new trial.

All right, with that being said, I am coming up on the one-year anniversary of buying an Xbox 360. After sitting on the video game sidelines for many years, I gured my birthday last year was the right time to get back into gaming. I had always played video games growing up. Of course I had Atari, which was made even better by the fact my uncle worked for Atari and gave us all the games including games that were months away from coming on the market. Back then, I guess he didnt have to worry about my brother and I copying Pac-Man and selling them to our friends back in the day. But after Atari, I always seemed to get the other game console. Back in the early 1980s, when the rst generation Nintendo and Sega consoles came out, my family chose Sega, while Nintendo went on to become a world-wide phenomenon. Later, I got a PlayStation and followed that with a Nintendo Game Cube (I know, another bad decision). I then got out of the console scene, mainly
MON TUE WED

because the controllers were too intimidating I have since gotten over that fear. Im not what you call a hard-core gamer. I just like to have fun. Where is this all leading? you may be asking yourself. Well, here it is: despite all the attention, millions of copies and billions of dollars Activisions Call of Duty series has garnered, I have to say, I prefer Electronic Arts Medal of Honor game. For those who dont know, EAs Medal of Honor released a new rst-person shooter game last year that attracted a lot of attention for all the wrong reasons. In the games online play, players could choose to ght as a Taliban soldier, which, for obvious reasons, drew a lot of negative attention, forcing the company to change the name to Opposition forces. The game is set in Afghanistan. Who else would we be ghting? Anyway, MOH did not do nearly the business as Call of Duty: Black Ops which came out in time for the Christmas season. And it sold a ton. I even got a copy as a Christmas gift. I have now played both games and can say I prefer MOH better. Ive recently completed the campaign (read: single person) for a second time and enjoyed it as much as the rst time I played it. Ive completed the campaign on Black

Ops as well and even though I started to play it a second time, I havent taken it out of the case in months. I think the biggest difference is MOH deals with a real conict in modern times, while the Call of Duty series started with World War II and is now up to the Vietnam era, which is where most of the Black Ops game takes place. I guess I just like modern day weaponry as opposed to that used in the 1960s. I know both Activision and EA both have other FPS shooter series that deal with modern-day battles, and each has a new game coming out this year. I havent played either of the COD: Modern Warfare series from Activision, or EAs Battleeld series. I think Ill eventually give each of them a turn, but Im guessing I may enjoy Battleeld more. All right you gamers: what do you think? Black Ops or Medal of Honor? If you havent played both, you cant comment. If you have, be honest.

conversation with another master gardener has me thinking about pests, patience and letting nature take her course. Terry, a gardening colleague, and I were talking about an unusually heavy crop of aphids this summer. My poor honeysuckle vines blossoms repeatedly have been coated with black aphids. Terrys young apple tree had aphids and lots of Argentine ants. (Where you see one you often see the other because ants like the honeydew that aphids secrete when they feed and will protect the aphids from their natural predators.) Terry also noticed many green aphids on new growth on her climbing rose bush. Neither of us reached for an insecticide spray because, by our natures and our training as master gardeners, we believe in the practice of integrated pest management, or IPM. This is a step-by-step strategy that calls for using environmentally sound ways to prevent pests from invading your house, damaging your plants or annoying you without harming you, your family or the environment. With IPM, you rst try to prevent problems. Maybe aphids are making merry among your roses because you are using way too much nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Lots of nitrogen prompts a plant to pump out the juicy green growth that aphids love. Next, under IPM, you try other non-chemical methods, such as using a stream of water from your hose to blast the aphids off. The option of last resort is to use a pesticide. You want to use the least toxic one that still will do the trick. Anytime you use a pesticide you risk killing the good bugs that eat the bad bugs. I opted for the water blaster to remove the aphids on my honeysuckle. Terry, a serene soul, chose patience but also used a dose of Tanglefoot on her clearly suffering apple tree. Tanglefoot is the brand name of a sticky substance that prevents ants from running up and down the tree. Any ant that tries to cross it leaves a long and visible memory of its time on Earth. A few days after Terry noticed the aphids

Tarragon is well-behaved and tasty

By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) looks as pretty now as its going to look any time of the year. Its owers are nothing to speak of, but the strappy leaves gray-green with a satiny sheen hold up well in summers heat and dryness. But who cares what tarragon looks like? We want it for its avor, smooth and slightly licorice-y. Although few people grow tarragon, its an easy herb to grow. The plant is as hardy to winter cold as it is to summer heat, and its perennial. Not perennial like mint or lemon balm, both of which take over the garden unless their growth is checked in some way, but perennial and well-behaved, spreading only slowly and not self-sowing its seeds.

buying them, is by cuttings or by division. Stem cuttings root fairly easily whether the stems are young and succulent or old and tough. Or take root cuttings in early spring just before growth begins, setting thick root pieces beneath a half-inch cover of soil, either in seed ats or out in the garden. Early spring is also the time to multiply a tarragon plant by division. Dig up an established clump, then cut it apart with a knife or your shovel blade into smaller pieces, each with roots attached, for replanting. Old plants like to be renewed this way every few years and replanted somewhere new. For just one or two new plants, dig out some sprouts and attached roots from the edge of a clump, then replant them.

year as a perennial.

AND NOW, FOR THE REAL THING

Getting back to real tarragon: Although easy to grow, tarragon, like any other plant, has likes and dislikes. Give it full sun and soil that drains well, even a soil that is a bit on the dry side. Wet soil spells death to tarragon in winter. And speaking of winter, at its approach, cut tarragon stems to the ground, then cover the plant with some uffy, organic material such as straw or oak leaves. Remove the covering in spring as growth begins. Given water in summer and some protection from bitter cold in winter, tarragon also grows well in a pot. Once your tarragon plantation comes into full production, theres almost no end to this herbs uses. Pliny, writing in rst century Rome, recommended tarragon against fatigue, and perhaps thats why in Medieval times travelers slipped sprigs into their shoes before long journeys. Vinegar takes on a tarragon avor if poured hot over the herb, then sealed into bottles for two or three weeks. And tarragon is a perfect accompaniment to sh. Be careful, though, because in ancient Persia, tarragon was recommended for creating appetite.

A FRIENDLY IMPOSTOR
To tide yourself over while waiting for your tarragon plantation to grow larger, you could plant an annual that has almost identical avor. This plant (Tagetes lucida), called Mexican mint marigold, sweet mace or sweet scented marigold, can be grown from seeds. The simple, yellow owers look much like marigold because the plant is, in fact, a kind of marigold. Expect quick growth and, where winter temperatures dont plummet quite to 0:F, also expect the plant to return year after

NO NEED TO PLANT SEEDS

In fact, good tarragon doesnt make any seeds at all. So dont plan on sowing seeds to get tarragon started in your own garden. Only Russian tarragon (A. dracunculoides), a kind of tarragon lacking in avor, makes viable seeds from which it can be propagated. The way to make new plants of the desirable French tarragon, besides just going out and

Find out what the values are before you take it all away. In this economy, we will not be able to bring it back again. Youve got it now. Its a beautiful facility. Theres no cost to waiting. Others spoke wanting more of the garden to be maintained and arguing that a full environmental report would allow students and the general public to be part of the discussion. Additional research was conducted specically to meet the requests within the lawsuit which alleged, Despite evidence of potentially signicant environmental effects, the board refused to conduct an environmental review process to analyze impacts of the demolition and to consider feasible alternatives, accord-

voter-approved work and the long-term master plans. Students argued the plan created more parking than needed. They requested a smaller lot allowing for the areas greenery to be maintained. Under the most recent proposal, the green space last represents one third of 1 percent of the open space on the CSM campus, Christensen said. CSM President Michael Claire previously explained bond project plans are uid. Looking again at the plans, it didnt make as much sense to refurbish a building that wont be widely used. Earlier this summer, the board voted to discontinue the horticulture and oristry programs at the end of the 2011-12 school year. When it comes to the building, most of the systems are beyond their service life, according to the district.

In addition, theres a new concept of creating mini ecosystems landscaping around the parking lot that will include those needed plants. In studying the new plan, ICF found the negative declaration rather than a full environmental report was appropriate. CSM student Shawn Kann, who has been a vocal advocate for maintaining the garden, described the space as the last remaining green space on campus with any habitat value. Kann again stressed that a full environmental impact report should be completed. Lucy Tolmach, director of horticulture at the Filoli Center, agreed.

By eliminating the image of an actual passenger and replacing it with a generic outline of a person, passengers are able to view the same outline that the TSA officer sees. Further, a separate TSA ofcer will no longer be required to view the image in a remotely located viewing room. In addition to further enhancing privacy protections, TSA ofcials

say this new software will increase the efciency of the screening process and get passengers through the security devices quicker. The new software automatically detects potential threats and indicates their location on a generic, computer-generated outline of a person that appears on a monitor attached to the imaging machine. If a potential threat is detected, the area will require additional screening. If no potential threats are detected, an OK appears on the monitor with no outline, and the passenger is cleared. TSA worked with the Department of Homeland Securitys Science & Technology Directorate and private industry to develop the new software.

A bold renaissance for Tupperware

By Leanne Italie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cindy Hallman-Morris grew up with Tupperwares burping bowls, gelatin rings and pickle keeper, but she considered herself a casual buyer of the brand once she had her own kids. Until this year, when she was sucked happily into the Tupperware vortex. I attended a party and then hosted a party and then it seemed everyone I knew was giving a Tupperware party, said the 44-year-old high school math teacher in Asheville, N.C. Its never ending! Tupperware, it seems, is enjoying a renaissance 65 years after it rst hit the market with Wonder bowls, Bell Tumblers and Ice-Tup molds for homemade frozen treats. Long gone is the signature burp, that whoosh of air from pressing on the center of a lid to tightly seal in the goodness. Also gone is the color goldenrod, fussy oral accents and the soft pastels of the 1950s and 60s. Todays Tupperware is drenched in edgy shades of purplicious and fuchsia kiss, or crisp in greens dubbed margarita and lettuce leaf. You can buy contemporary takes on Wonderlier bowls and those little salt and pepper shakers, but Tupperware Brands Corp. also sells an appetizer tray that looks like a caterpillar, fancy chefs knives, bakeware and heavy stainless steel pots and pans. The company has choppers, whippers and microsteamers. Updated FridgeSmart containers with the two familiar vents are embedded with dishwasher-resistant charts recommending how much air to let in for various fruits and vegetables. Broccolis a heavy breather, for instance. Asparagus isnt. The Orlando, Fla.-based company has acquired a sense of humor with a set called Thatsa Bowl and Thatsa Mega Bowl, but left the Jel-Ring Mold pretty much alone while aggressively modernizing, diversifying and pursuing emerging markets around the globe.

A few years ago, the company boasted that a Tupperware party was held somewhere in the world every 2.3 seconds. Now its 1.7 seconds, driven by a direct sales force of 2.6 million still mostly women in nearly 100 markets, said Rick Goings, the chairman and chief executive who arrived 20 years ago from Avon. Worldwide sales last year totaled $2.3 billion, including beauty and personal care products. I got here and found out the company was in trouble, Goings said. The headquarters was for sale. They had just written off $100 million. Everybody loved it but they loved it in a historical sense, like the Model T. One of the rst things he did was hire Susan Perkins, the companys rst woman chief of design, to replace generations of stuffy industrial wonks who likely never had to use Tupperware at home. Also on Goings plate: making products more appealing to young people, and ceding ground to lower cost plastic containers and bags which, according to him, are lousier than Tupperware for the environment because they dont last as long or work as well. The company has had more than seven

straight quarters of positive sales growth and expanding earnings, due largely to markets outside the United States, but nothing quite so explosive as the early decades. The party plan for selling in homes to friends and neighbors was put in place by inventor Earl S. Tuppers right hand, a divorced mom from Detroit named Brownie Wise, after Tuppers failed attempts to sell in stores. Home parties remain the way most consumers scoop up their Tupperware, though theres an option to host online parties and Tupperware itself sells from its website. Admired by House Beautiful in 1947 as Fine Art for 39 Cents, Tupperware today is functional, fun and fashionable, but it isnt cheap. The m i c r o w a v e SmartSteamer, for example, goes for $139 and a seven-piece Vent N Serve set for $130. It IS quite pricey, but it lasts forever, Hallman-Morris said. It really does. P r i c e y, that is, in t o d a y s palooza of plastics. There wasnt much by way of comparison back in

1938, when Tupper rst got his hands on a sticky black glob of polyethylene slag, then gured out how to turn it into squishable kitchen storage and cereal bowls. Plastics of the time were hard, brittle and smelly, prone to leaks and easily breakable. Without lids, homemakers used moist towels, tin foil or shower caps to make food last on the counter and in everimproving refrigerators. Tupperwares success is a study in perfect post-war timing, a period of rapid growth in consumer products, consumption and the rise of suburban living after women were sent home from wartime factories. Not bad for a New Hampshire farm boy and failed tree doctor who barely graduated high school. Tuppers base material and introduction to the business came at DuPont during a years stint in its plastics division in Leominster, Mass. But it was the amboyant Wise, not the all-business Tupper, who rened the party plan, allowing the company to soar to 20,000 dealers by 1954, a golden year. Stanley Home Products used the party plan before Tupperware came along, but Wise rened it, whipping women into a frenzy for selling the newfangled plasticware. She rst peddled Stanley, adding a bit of Tupperware to the mix and later switching altogether, catching Tuppers eye with an impressive sales network in Detroit, then Florida. Appointed vice president and head of sales, Wise promised real money and recognition for hard workers, without the need for formal education or job experience. The companys lifetime guarantee that products wont chip, break, crack or peel remains in place. So do big-ticket incentives for top sellers. I basically was able to walk away from not knowing where my next paycheck was coming from, said Kevin Farrell, a Los Angeles actor who dons Daisy Dukes, crazy makeup and a blonde wig to sell Tupperware in drag as the brash southern trailer-dweller Dee W. Ieye.

Dozens of Sept.11 specials

By David Bauder
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Television viewers who want to immerse themselves in memories of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks as the 10th anniversary approaches will have a staggering number of choices, and on the day itself, broadcast and cable news networks will all have their top talent on hand for special coverage. There will be dozens of specials covering the events from every conceivable angle. Many are from networks that either didnt exist back in 2001, didnt have the capacity to cover the tragedy live or werent aggressively making as much original programming. Chances are that the 10th will end up being the biggest anniversary in terms of media attention: 9/11 is still relatively fresh in the minds of those who experienced it, yet time has also offered more perspective. It was a transformative event, said Mark Burstein, executive producer of special events coverage for ABC News. This was an event that everyone who was over the age of 10 remembers where they were on this day. It changed millions of lives. Im not surprised that 10 years later the world will stop and look back and remember. Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos will anchor ABCs special the morning of Sept. 11, with coverage of the memorial mixed in with other reports. Brian Williams will anchor NBCs coverage, simulcast on MSNBC, which will also feature Tom Brokaw, who anchored for NBC a

decade ago. Scott Pelley is on hand for CBS. Shepard Smith of Fox News Channel is the main anchor who led his networks coverage 10 years ago and will be back in the same role. Anderson Cooper and Candy Crowley will be at ground zero for CNN, in a telecast that will be shown all over the world. The historical nature of the event merits the amount of coverage being offered, said David Westin, former ABC News president. Viewers will have to decide for themselves how much is too much for them personally, he said. People can become too immersed in it and Ive been particularly concerned about children, he said. All of us need to be concerned about children and how they can process it. Nickelodeons Linda Ellerbee will anchor a special on Sept. 1 addressed to the networks young audience. It will largely be an explainer: Most of Nicks audience either wasnt alive on Sept. 11, 2001, or was too young to have any direct memories. In the days after the attacks, Westin, on the advice of a prominent child psychologist, ordered his news division to strictly curtail reruns of the more disturbing images: the second plane crashing in to the World Trade Center; the collapse of the towers. The concern was that children couldnt process that and 89 passing English. While the district maintained its top stance, it also saw the passage rates remain steady. Most other districts showed small increases. The La Honda-Pescadero Unied School District had 90 percent of its students pass math but only 77 percent pass English the district does also have one of the smallest test groups allowing for numbers to drastically change annually. Jefferson Union High School District had 88 percent passing in math and 83 percent in English. Students in the South San Francisco Unied School District posted similar rates with 86 percent passing both exams. Then came Sequoia Union High School District with 86 percent passing math and 84 mastering the English portion. In the Cabrillo Unied School District, 85 percent of sophomores passed the math portion and 83 percent passed the English quite a jump from last year which has passage rates of 77 and 80 respectively. Aside from passing, the test acts as a gauge for a students understanding of the topic. Last year, 66 percent of rsttime sophmore test takers scored procient in English and 65 percent scored procient in the math section. While this 10th grade test administration is not students last opportunity to pass the CAHSEE, it is an important, common measure of student progress and school success, said Gary Waddell, deputy superintendent, instructional services division for the County Ofce of Education. While our students performed well, these data also present a compelling reminder that we have to continue to focus on eliminating the According to Redwood City police, Leong was involved in an inappropriate relationship with a girl that occurred over the course of three months in the 500 block of Compass Drive in Redwood Shores. Police said they were notied of the relationship by the girls parents but released few other details other than to say the investigation is ongoing to deter-

they were reruns, and might think the tragedy was happening again elsewhere. Other news divisions largely followed suit. Because of that judicious usage, people have not become desensitized to the pictures from that awful day, said Jay Wallace, Fox News Channel vice president of news. On the anniversary each year, Fox replays a segment of its coverage from the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, and will again this year. Wallace said it was important to remind people what it was like. We put that away, he said. We dont use it as b-roll (background pictures) any other time of year. But we try to put that in context and remind people of what went on that day, the raw emotions that people were feeling. At CBS, the Sunday morning coverage will focus on the public memorials, said CBS News President David Rhodes. Its an emotional day, he said. You dont know how people are going to react. Thats one reason we are going to be careful not to over-program it. Meanwhile, 3,000 hours of global TV broadcasts during seven days of coverage in 2001 are available at The 9/11 Television News Archive, http://www.archive.org/details/911 . achievement gap by increasing the performance of Latino, African-American, Pacic Islanders, English learners and economically-disadvantaged groups of students through strong instructional programs, culturally responsive pedagogy and effective systems of support. Most districts have programs in place to help students prepare for the CAHSEE, including additional help in math or English should a student not pass one portion of the test. To better prepare students, the San Mateo Union High School District has been working to identify struggling students and offer more opportunities for them to succeed earlier, said Superintendent Scott Laurence. The key to early intervention has been working with elementary school districts that feed into the high school district. This way students are offered extra help at the start of high school, he said. The Sequoia Union High School District provides special support to targeted students to help them prepare for the CAHSEE exam, said Superintendent James Lianides. While we are pleased with the results, we will be implementing more focused instructional interventions with under performing students that should result in further improvements in the pass rate this coming year, he said.

achieve despite the painful toll that budget cuts are taking on our schools, State Superintendent Tom Torlakson said in a prepared statement. The results of this years exit examination and the progress schools are making to close the achievement gap are yet another sign of the remarkable commitment that teachers, school employees and administrators have to the students of California. Statewide, 83 percent of sophomores taking the exit exam passed math and 82 percent met the requirements in English. Passage rates for sophomores in San Mateo County districts for exams ranged from 77 percent to 89 percent in English and from 85 percent to 90 percent in math increasing the passage rate for those taking the test for the rst time. Oceana High School, with 97 percent of students passing on their rst attempt, was the countys highest performing last year. Students are rst allowed to take the exam sophomore year, under the 1999 legislation. The class of 2006 was the rst graduating class required to meet the standard. Students are given the opportunity to retake either portion up to seven times through their senior year until he or she has passed. For the second year in a row, the San Mateo Union High School District had the highest passage rate by sophomores last year with 90 percent passing math

It behooves you to put more energy, dedication and imagination into satisfying your personal ambitions during the next solar cycle. All the little extras you put into your efforts will pay off by producing highly successful results.
VIRgO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Because you cant change a sensitive friend into someone a bit tougher, remember to be tactful when around him or her. Itll be worth not having to cope with wounded feelings. LIBRa (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you try to take all of the credit for something that you and several others

played a role in accomplishing, dont expect your cohorts to have anything favorable to say about you. sCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Just remember that your friends have a right to express their own opinions, even if their ideas are contrary to yours. You may not like it, but its their prerogative to think for themselves. sagITTaRIus (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be both thoughtful and cautious in your financial dealings. Unless you take the time to think before you leap, you could make mistakes that would produce lingering, negative results. CaPRICORn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Do your best not to get tied down working with someone who doesnt understand the value of teamwork. The wrong partner could gum up the works for both of you. aQuaRIus (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Duck! All those

distasteful chores youve been shoving under the rug might get thrown at you. Organize your affairs so that you can do the most important jobs first. PIsCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Avoid groups or cliques that contain certain types who think they are better than everybody else. There are plenty of people out there wholl do their best to make you smile instead. aRIes (March 21-April 19) -- Allowing outsiders to get involved in your family affairs is asking for trouble. Restrict your communications to members of the clan only. TauRus (April 20-May 20) -- There is a good chance you could let go and level a few choice words on someone who has been bugging you for far too long. The relief will be welcome, but the hurt may still

linger awhile. geMInI (May 21-June 20) -- The best way to remain cautious with your financial affairs is not to go window- shopping. However, if you must head to market, stick to stores that carry only necessities. CanCeR (June 21-July 22) -- If you and your special someone are not satisfied with the way the relationship is going, spend some time together sorting things out. Be willing to do your share and more, if necessary. LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If co-workers are making your day more difficult than need be, you should either speak up or be prepared to cover up their ineptness. Regardless of which you choose, be diplomatic about it. COPYRIGHT 2011, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

Meet Klepto the Cat at Senior Showcase

article originally published in Daily Journal on 2/17/11

Cat burglar goes viral

By Bill Silverfarb DAILY JOURNAL STAFF A video detailing the criminal activity of a local feline has gone viral after it aired earlier this week and the cats owners have fielded calls from David Letterman, The Early Show and Fox and Friends all wanting a piece of Dusty, the Snowshoe cat now called Klepto by many of its victims in the Beresford Manor neighborhood of San Mateo. Dusty, about 6 years old, has stolen more than 600 items from neighbors over the past few years and was recently captured on night vision video by Animal Planet in the act of dragging stolen items back to its home on 25th Avenue, where it lives with its owners Jean Chu, Jim Coleman and family. Dusty was featured briefly on the Animal Planet show Must Love Cats for its late-night escapades after a neighbor told the family he thought Dusty was responsible for a long list of missing items from area yards, including womens bathing suits. On several mornings, Jim Coleman would find items in his yard such as towels or shoes that would leave him puzzled. Why are people throwing junk in my yard, Coleman would ask himself. Then the night vision video proved Dusty was the culprit. Monday night, ABC-7s Vic Lee

San Mateo thief, Dusty the cat, courted by Letterman, others

produced a story about Dusty that has since gone viral on the Internet. Last I looked it had 150,000 hits, Coleman said. The family has been flooded with calls now from all kinds of television shows the past two days wanting to hear Dustys story, including David Letterman. Chu, a South San Francisco dentist, has several shopping bags filled with items Dusty has stolen that sit in her car. My car looks like a homeless persons, Chu said. One of her neighbors wanted to get a glimpse of the items to see if any of her things were stolen, Chu said. Dusty has gotten so much attention the past couple of days, Chu has had to reschedule some of her dental appointments. She is not bothered by it, however, because Dustys story is so unique. Next week, it will be like Dusty who? Chu said. The cat and its family have yet to finalize any national television appearances. The cat does not necessarily come when it is called, Coleman said. Yesterday, Dusty was reluctant to field questions about its thievery or sit still for a photo session. Its neighbors know Dusty well, however, and are now more concerned about someone trying to steal the famous cat rather than the cat trying to steal their items.
