The former child psychiatrist
accused of molesting several male
patients under the guise of medical
exams will not be released on bail
while awaiting a hearing to deter-
mine if he is mentally t for prose-
cution.
W i l l i a m
Hamilton Ayres,
whose alleged
dementia is a
hoax accord-
ing to prosecu-
tors, will also
remain in the
county jail
rather than be
transferred back to Napa State
Hospital.
Ayres defense attorney had
pushed yesterday for his 80-year-
old client to be released on a
$50,000 bond, arguing that the situ-
ation now is no different than when
he was previously out of custody on
a $250,000 bond awaiting trial.
Attorney Jonathan McDougall also
argued Ayres is presumed compe-
tent until proven otherwise because
the burden of proof is on him.
However, Judge Jack Grandsaert
said the law doesnt allow him to set
reasonable bail until Ayres is cer-
tied as competent after an Oct. 2
hearing and ordered he remain in
custody at the county jail.
McDougall said not transferring
Ayres keeps him simply sitting in
jail serving a penal function but
Grandsaert agreed with prosecutor
Melissa McKowan that there is no
therapeutic reason to keep him in
the hospital. McKowan pointed to
hospital reports that he is deliberate-
ly not participating in therapy or

Voters in San Francisco will face a
ballot measure this November that
could lead to the restoration of the
Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite
National Park but local water of-
cials contend the outcome of the
valley should not be left up to city
voters alone since most Hetch
Hetchy water users, about 1.7 mil-
lion, live outside the city.
The Water Conservation and
Yosemite Restoration Initiative
would require San Francisco to
develop a plan for improving its
water system in two phases if voters
approve it this fall.
If passed, the measure will require
San Francisco to create a water con-
servation task force; require the task
force to present a plan to voters for
greater water conservation and

Careful bear raids
Colorado candy shop
DENVER A bear in a candy store
is nothing like a bull in a china shop. At
least not this one.
A black bear went in and out of a
Colorado candy store multiple times
early one July morning, but he used the
front door and didnt break a thing.
The bear did, however, steal some
treats from the Estes Park store, includ-
ing English toffee and some chocolate-
chip cookies dipped in caramel and
milk chocolate called cookie bears.
Surveillance video at the Rocky
Mountain Chocolate Factory showed
the bear prying open the door and grab-
bing some candy near the registers. He
took the treats outside and ate them,
then returned for more.
The bear made seven trips in about 15
minutes, nally leaving after a passing
car apparently scared him away.
Store owner Jo Adams said
Wednesday the bear managed to pop
open the door because the deadbolt was-
nt completely secured.
She said the only evidence her mind-
ful visitor left behind was some dirt on
a counter and some paper on the
ground. There werent even any wrap-
pers, so she assumes he ate those too.
He was very clean and very careful.
He ate a lot of candy, said Adams of the
bear break-in, rst reported by the Estes
Park News.
Keeping bears out of human food in
homes, garbage cans and cars is an
ongoing struggle in Colorados moun-
tain towns, including Estes Park, the
gateway to Rocky Mountain National
Park.
South Koreans face heat
wave by dining on dog meat
SEOUL, South Korea Some South
Koreans are easing the Dog Days of
Summer by embracing a tradition of eat-
ing dog meat to help survive a heat wave
gripping the country.
Animal rights activists, meanwhile,
packed themselves into wire cages to
protest the eating of dogs.
Tuesday is the day South Koreans tra-
ditionally eat dog meat and other foods
that they believe will help ease the heat
by increasing their stamina.
The Yonhap news agency says Seoul is
currently undergoing the longest period
of time with temperatures above 35
degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) since
1994.
Dog meat restaurants in Seoul say they
served more customers than usual on
Tuesday.
Fire alarm blares 15
hours at public housing
WILKINSBURG, Pa. A re alarm
that blared for more than 15 hours at a
Pittsburgh-area public housing complex
has nally been shut off.
Residents of Glenshaw Gardens in
Wilkinsburg say the alarms strobe lights
began ashing and a high-pitched screech
began sounding Sunday evening when a
resident burned some popcorn.
Allegheny County Housing Authority
ofcials say the alarm was turned off
Monday morning.
Building president Bud Joyce says the
delay occurred because the housing
authority began managing the building in
May and didnt have a key to the room
where the alarms control panel is located
because the room also contains access to
a banks automatic teller machine.
Accessing the room in a way that
would safeguard the ATM caused the
delay. Joyce has apologized to residents
and says, It wont happen again.

they saw the deer fall into the hole near a
vacant lot in Mount Sinai.
Four emergency service officers
responded.
The ofcers said the deer looked scared
and sounded like it was crying.

Nearly a year after authorities say Laura
Jean Wenke wrapped herself in a protective
shield of bubble wrap before Tasing and stab-
bing her estranged husband at their Redwood
City construction rm, a judge has again
denied her bail.
Judge Cliff Cretan is the third judge to deny
bail for Wenke, 52, since her arrest. Wenke, of
Los Altos, is charged with premeditated
attempted murder and assault. She is current-
ly scheduled for a pretrial conference Monday
followed by jury trial Sept. 24. She faces
seven years to life in prison if convicted
because of the premeditation allegation.
After the attack, prose-
cutors said Wenke and her
husband are in the midst
of a divorce and have a
young child. Wenke stood
to gain a $2 million life
insurance payout if her
husband died and was
very jealous of his new
girlfriend, according to
prosecutors.
On Sept. 15, 2011, Wenke allegedly arrived
at the family business, Wenke Construction,
on Laurel Street and parked a truck in front of
the ofce windows to block the view of
passersby. Inside, prosecutors say she asked
her husband to look up something in his com-
puter and, as he worked, she stunned and then
stabbed him with a folding knife several times
in the neck and torso.
After her arrest, police reported she was
wearing a mechanics jumpsuit and under-
neath the clothing her torso was swaddled in
bubble wrap, apparently as protection against
being hit herself.
Wenkes husband was hospitalized with
injuries to his lung, neck and chest but later
released.
During a preliminary hearing last month, he
testied as did a police ofcer who said a to-
do list of activities related to the crime was
found inside Wenkes purse.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Police in San Bruno have arrested a driver
who crashed into several cars stopped at a
stoplight last month, killing two people and
injuring two others.
San Bruno resident Rodney Corsiglia, 49,
had allegedly been driving even though his
license had been suspended because of a med-
ical condition that impaired his ability to drive
safely, San Bruno police Lt. Geoff Caldwell
said.
On July 28 at about 12:15 p.m., Corsiglia
was driving east on Sneath Lane when he
crashed into several other eastbound cars that
were stopped at a stoplight at El Camino Real,
Caldwell said.
The crash killed two cousins in one vehicle
Arnulfo Picazo, 39, of San Bruno, and
Usbaldo Picazo Gomez, 37, of South San
Francisco. Both were pronounced dead at the
scene.
Two other people were hospitalized with
injuries that were not life-threatening,
police said.
Investigators found that
Corsiglia had a negli-
gent driving history, and
was operating a motor
vehicle knowing that his
medical condition could
affect his driving,
Caldwell said.
Police further believe
that Corsiglia was driving
under the inuence at the
time of the crash. Investigators are awaiting
the results of toxicology tests to determine
what may have caused the crash, Caldwell
said.
Corsiglia was arrested Tuesday without
incident, police said. He was booked into San
Mateo County Jail for homicide, vehicular
manslaughter and driving under the inuence
causing injury and death.
He remains in custody without bail, and is
scheduled to be arraigned in San Mateo
County Superior Court on Thursday, accord-
ing to the District Attorneys Ofce.

Obituary
A San Francisco woman accused of running
over a man hanging to her vehicle after she
snatched his cellphone pleaded no contest yes-
terday to robbery, theft and assault.
Meylin Jessica Reyes, 23, settled her case
rather than head to trial later this month. The
conditions of the plea agreement were not
immediately available.
Prosecutors say on April 28 Reyes drove up
to the man who was walking near 22nd
Avenue in San Mateo and asked to borrow his
phone because her phone had died. The 35-
year-old man dialed the number for Reyes and
held the phone to her ear at which time she
grabbed his wrist and phone before driving
away, according to the District Attorneys
Ofce.
The man was dragged 300 to 400 feet down
the street before falling off
and Reyes reportedly ran
him over. The man suf-
fered a severed artery in
his arm requiring surgery
and road rash to his face
and body.
On May 2, Reyes report-
edly used the same ruse,
once in San Mateo where
the victim handed over the
phone and another at Stanford University
where police were able to detain her.
Cellphones for both May 2 victims were
found in Reyes car, according to prosecutors
who say she committed similar thefts at
Stanford on April 11 and in Palo Alto on April
4.
Reyes remains in custody on $100,000 bail
pending sentencing.

Lawmakers order audit of
state parks department
By Hannan Dreier
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Californias state parks department
will be subject to an independent audit to examine how and
why nearly $54 million in two special funds went unreported
even as budget cuts were threatening to close 70 parks.
The revelation of the hidden money earlier this summer
threatens Democratic hopes of passing a ballot measure that
would increase taxes by undermining the publics trust in how
state government handles tax money.
Democrats favor the review in hopes of restoring voters
confidence, while many Republican lawmakers say they
would like a broader review to see if state government has
other hidden pots of cash.
The Joint Legislative Audit Committee voted unanimously
Wednesday to approve the audit.

DALLAS The president of Susan
G. Komen for the Cure is resigning and
founder Nancy Brinker is moving away
from its day-to-day management, the
nations largest breast cancer foundation
said Wednesday as fallout from its brief
decision to end funding for Planned
Parenthood reaches the organizations
highest ranks.
President Liz Thompson will leave
Komen next month and Brinker will
relinquish her chief executives role for
one more focused on fundraising and
strategic planning, according to a state-
ment from the Dallas-based organiza-
tion.
Its the latest shakeup since news
emerged in January that Komen had
decided to eliminate its funding for
Planned Parenthood for breast-cancer
screening. After a three-day restorm,
Komen reversed
restored the funding
though that didnt
quell the criticism.
At least ve other
high-ranking execu-
tives have resigned
in recent months.
Brinker founded
the organization in
1982, two years after
her sister, Susan G. Komen, died of
breast cancer. Thompson joined the
group in 2008 to head research and sci-
entic programs, and she was promoted
her to president in 2010.
According to the statement, which
makes no reference to the Planned
Parenthood decision or fallout,
Thompson said the time was right for
her to pursue other opportunities. She
hailed the organizations leadership in
pursuing a cure for breast cancer and for
helping women and men with cancer
screening, diagnosis and treatment.
That legacy will continue. It has been
a privilege and an honor to serve in this
role, she said.
Brinker praised Thompsons work in
expanding Komens inuence in scien-
tic, community health, advocacy and
global programs. As for her changed
role, Brinker said she assumed the chief
executives duties at the request of the
foundations board in 2009.
Three years into that role, and 32
years after my promise to my sister to
end breast cancer, I want now to focus
on Susan G. Komens global mission
and raising resources to bring our prom-
ise to women all around the world, she
said.
Cecile Richards, president of Planned
Parenthood Federation of America,
praised both women for their profound
contributions to womens health and for
helping elevate the importance of breast
cancer detection and prevention.
Komen president resigning
Mike Brunicardi, who has served the
San Mateo Police Department since
1978, most recently as lieutenant,
retired Aug. 2, according to police.
Brunicardis career spanned just
about every department in the police
department including field operations,
investigations, traffic, community
policing, training, recruitment, support
services and as public information offi-
cer. He temporarily worked as a police
officer and sergeant for the city of
Colma before returning to San Mateo in
1989, where he spent the remainder of
his career.
In 1985, Brunicardi received a hero-
ism award from the Peninsula Council
of Lions Clubs for his apprehension of
an armed and dan-
gerous suspect who
was wanted in con-
nection to a series of
violent crimes in the
Bay Area and a
homicide in Georgia.

Brush fire burns
Arastradero Preserve acreage
A re burned three to ve acres in Palo
Altos Arastradero Preserve Wednesday
afternoon, according to Cal Fire.
Crews were still battling the blaze at
about 5:30 p.m., but all forward progress
has been stopped, a Cal Fire spokesman
said.
The re was initially reported at 4:08
p.m. after a caller spotted smoke in the
preserve, according to the Palo Alto
Police Department.
An area of brush near Arastradero Road
between Alpine Road and Page Mill Road
was burning when Palo Alto reghters
arrived.
The re is off one of the trails, and not
close to the road. No structures were
threatened and nobody was injured,
according to Cal Fire.

STATE/NATION
ATTORNEYS AND BARRISTERS
IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE OUR NEW LAWYERS
By Hannah Dreier
SACRAMENTO Two lawmakers on
Wednesday requested a detailed audit to deter-
mine whether the state has spent mental health
funding from a 2004 ballot initiative the way
voters intended.
The request came in response to an
investigation by The Associated Press last
month that found tens of millions of dol-
lars raised under Proposition 63 have
gone to programs designed to help those
who have not been diagnosed with any
mental illness. Those programs include
yoga, gardening, art classes and horse-
back riding.
Assemblymen Dan Logue and Brian
Nestande, both Republicans, asked the Joint
Legislative Audit Committee to examine the
spending.
Logue, a Republican from Linda, acknowl-
edged his request was last-minute but said he
would not let up and would bring it back next
year if necessary.
Theres too much on the line, he said. A
lot of people are suffering out there, and its
only reasonable that we make sure the funds
are going to the people who need the funding
the most.
Lawmakers: Audit of mental health initiative

SAN FRANCISCO A massive Chevron
oil renery re that sent hundreds of people
rushing to hospitals and is pushing West Coast
gas prices higher was just the latest pollution
incident at the facility that records show has
increasingly violated air quality rules over the
past ve years.
The renery is one of three such facilities
near San Francisco that rank among the states
top 10 emitters of toxic chemicals, according
to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agencys Toxic Release Inventory.
Chevrons Richmond renery the scene
of Mondays re that shrouded the area in
black smoke has been cited by San
Francisco Bay area regulators for violating air
regulations 93 times in the past ve years.
The number has increased from 15 viola-
tions in 2007 to 23 in both 2010 and 2011. The
renery is also the states largest emitter of
greenhouse gases, according to state regula-
tors.
The Richmond refinery produces about
150,000 barrels of gasoline a day or 16 per-
cent of the West Coasts daily gasoline con-
sumption of 963,000 barrels, said Tom Kloza,
chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information
Service.
With inventories of gasoline in the region
already low compared with the rest of the
country, pump prices on the West Coast will
soon average more than $4 a gallon, Kloza
said.
This weeks disruption in production quick-
ly sent the price of a gallon of regular gasoline
in California up 3 cents, said analyst Patrick
DeHaan of the website GasBuddy.com.

WASHINGTON To keep pace with rapid-
ly changing notions of race, the Census Bureau
wants to make broad changes to its surveys that
would treat Hispanic as a distinct category
regardless of race, end use of the term Negro
and offer new ways to identify Middle
Easterners.
The recommendations released Wednesday
stem from new government research on the best
ways to count the nations demographic groups.
Still it could face stiff resistance from some
racial and ethnic groups who worry that any
kind of wording change in the high-stakes gov-
ernment count could yield a lower tally for
them. This is a hot-button issue, said Angelo
Falcon, president of the National Institute for
Latino Policy in New York City and a commu-
nity adviser to the census. The burden will be
on the Census Bureau to come up with evidence
that wording changes will not undermine the
Latino numbers.
Arab-Americans said they strongly support
the Census Bureaus efforts. The Census
Bureaus current method for determining Arab
ancestry yields a signicant undercount of the
actual size of the community, and were opti-
mistic that the new form should be signicantly
better at capturing ancestry data, the Arab
American Institute said in a statement.
The research is based on an experiment con-
ducted during the 2010 census in which nearly
500,000 households were given forms with the
race and ethnicity questions worded differently.
The ndings show that many people who lled
out the traditional form did not feel they t
within the ve government-dened categories
of race: white, black, Asian, Pacic Islander
and American Indian/Alaska Native; when
questions were altered to address this concern,
response rates and accuracy improved notably.
For instance, because Hispanic is currently
dened as an ethnicity and not a race, some 18
million Latinos or roughly 37 percent
used the some other race category on their
census forms to establish a Hispanic racial iden-
tity. The other changes would drop use of
Negro, leaving a choice of black or
African-American, as well as add write-in cate-
gories that would allow Middle Easterners and
Arabs to specically identify themselves.
Census director Robert Groves, who leaves
his position Friday to become provost at
Georgetown University, described the research
ndings as an important rst step toward mak-
ing changes in future censuses.
As new immigrant groups came to this
country decade after decade, how we measure
ethnicity changed to reect the changing com-
position of the country, Groves said. Since
that change is never ending and America gets
more and more diverse, how we understand and
tabulate the information has to be continually
open to change.
Census seeks changes in how it measures race
As new immigrant groups came to this
country decade after decade, how we measure ethnicity
changed to reect the changing composition of the country.

July in U.S. was hottest
ever in history books
WASHINGTON This probably
comes as no surprise: Federal scien-
tists say July was the hottest month
ever recorded in the Lower 48 states,
breaking a record set during the
Dust Bowl of the 1930s.
And even less a surprise: The U.S.
this year keeps setting records for
weather extremes, based on the pre-
cise calculations that include
drought, heavy rainfall, unusual
temperatures, and storms. The aver-
age temperature last month was 77.6
degrees. That breaks the old record
from July 1936 by 0.2 degree,
according to the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration.
Records go back to 1895.

WASHINGTON Mitt
Romneys campaign fiercely
protested a searing attack ad aired
by allies of President Barack
Obama on Wednesday, but drew
expressions of dismay from con-
servatives when an aide to the for-
mer Massachusetts governor
invoked the benefits of a state
health care system he signed into
law.
If people had been in
Massachusetts under Gov.
Romneys health care plan, they
would have had health care,
spokeswoman Andrea Saul said in
an interview on Fox News. The
Republican presidential candidate
himself rarely mentions the law,
which contains a requirement to
purchase health coverage similar to
the one in the federal law that con-
servatives despise and he has
vowed to repeal.
Saul volunteered her observation
after sharply denouncing the ad. In
it, which a grim-faced former steel-
worker, Joe Soptic, suggests that
Romney and Bain Capital, the pri-
vate equity firm he founded, might
bear some responsibility for his
wifes death
from cancer sev-
eral years ago.
Its just des-
picable, to be
honest, Saul
said of the com-
mercial, which
is aired by
Priorities USA
Action, a super
PAC that sup-
ports Obamas
re-election. Of
course he does-
nt want to see
ill come to any-
one.
Independent
fact checkers
judged the com-
mercial harshly,
sometimes unusually so.
Additionally, the Romneys cam-
paign alleged that the presidents
campaign lied repeatedly about its
knowledge of the content of the
commercial. The allegations were
denied.
Whatever the particulars, conser-
vatives were quick to react to
Sauls remark about the health care
law that Romney signed as gover-
nor of Massachusetts.
Ad about womans death causes campaign furor

WASHINGTON Welfare is
causing a ruckus in the presidential
campaign. But the program is a
shadow of its old self from the
1970s, when Ronald Reagan used
the image of welfare queens to
assail government poverty pro-
grams promoted by liberals.
Nowadays government cash
assistance to the poor is mainly
conditioned on work. And the
Obama administration waivers
excoriated by Mitt Romney as gut-
ting welfare reform are unlikely to
reverse that basic policy, as even
some architects of work require-
ments acknowledge.
If Washington were different
and ... people could sit down and
reason together, its not impossible
to think that Republicans and
Democrats would come to an
agreement on waivers similar to
what the administration is propos-
ing, said Ron Haskins, co-director
of the Brookings Center on
Children and Families. As a senior
House GOP aide in the 1990s,
Haskins helped write the original
welfare-to-work legislation.
The Obama administration says
it does not want to waive work
requirements, but instead primarily
federal administrative rules,
including some that tie up state
caseworkers who could be serving
clients.
The 1996 welfare reform law, a
pillar of social policy for conserva-
tives, replaced a federal entitle-
ment with grants to the states,
while putting a time limit on how
long families can get aid and
requiring recipients to eventually
go to work.
Welfare caseloads declined for
years before the recession, and
there are only about 2 million fam-
ilies on whats now called
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families, or TANF for short.
Obamas welfare waiver:
Gutting rules or tweaking?

PASADENA The ancient
Martian crater where the Curiosity
rover landed looks strikingly similar
to the Mojave Desert in California
with its looming mountains and
hanging haze, scientists said
Wednesday.
The rst impression that you get
is how Earth-like this seems looking
at that landscape, said chief scien-
tist John Grotzinger of the
California Institute of Technology.
Overnight, the car-size rover
poked its head out for the rst time
since settling in Gale Crater, peered
around and returned a flood of
black-and-white pictures that will
be stitched into a panorama.
It provided the best view so far of
its destination since touching down
Sunday night after nailing an intri-
cate choreography. During the last
few seconds, a rocket-powered
spacecraft hovered as cables low-
ered Curiosity to the ground.
In the latest photos, Curiosity
looked out toward the northern hori-
zon. Nearby were scour marks in
the surface blasted by thrusters,
which kicked up a swirl of dust.
There were concerns that Curiosity
got dusty, but scientists said that
was not the case.
We do see a thin coating of dust,
but nothing too bad, said Justin
Maki, imaging scientist at NASAs
Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which
manages the $2.5 billion mission.
Scientists were giddy about the
scour marks because they exposed
bedrock below information that
should help scientists better under-
stand the landing site.
Since landing, Curiosity has
zipped home a stream of low-reso-
lution pictures taken by tiny cam-
eras under the chassis and a camera
at the end of its robotic arm, which
remained stowed. It also sent back a
low-quality video glimpsing the last
2 1/2 minutes of its descent.
The rover successfully raised its
mast packed with high-resolution
and navigation cameras. With the
mast up, it can begin its shutterbug
days in force including taking a
360-degree color view of its sur-
roundings as early as Thursday.
Grotzinger said he was struck by
the Martian landscape, which
appeared diverse. There seemed to
be harder material underneath the
gravelly surface, he said.
It kind of makes you feel at
home, he said. Were looking at a
place that feels really comfortable.
Mars, of course, is very different
from Earth. Its a frigid desert con-
stantly bombarded by radiation.
There are geological signs that it
was a warmer and wetter place once
upon a time.

LOS ANGELES Space shut-
tle Endeavour once zoomed
through the cosmos at 17,500
mph. But its nal journey will be a
crawl through the streets of Los
Angeles at 2 mph.
The giant spaceship will creep
to its new home at the California
Science Center in October, of-
cials said Wednesday. Hundreds of
trees, power lines and street lights
will be pulled down to make way.
Youre never going to see a
space shuttle going down the
street again, said science center
President Jeffrey N. Rudolph.
The earthbound trip will take
the 170,000-pound orbiter 12
miles from the LAX airport
through Inglewood and into the
city of Los Angeles where the
museum just south of downtown
will place it on display.
The shuttle is as fragile as it is
gigantic. Its tail is 58 feet tall. And
it has a 78-foot wingspan. But its
heat-resistant nose tiles can be
cracked by a ngernail, according
to NASA ofcials.

OPINION 9
Our own worst enemies
Editor,
After reading Rick Zobeleins letter
Poor Sue and Lisa Cohens letter
Batwoman against the NRA in the
Aug. 8 edition of the Daily Journal, I
noticed a familiar pattern. Both are
attempting to minimize the fact (and
factor) that a gun was used in the
Colorado mass shooting. Both want to
protect their incorrectly perceived
rights under the Second Amendment
of the U.S. Constitution. I would
advise both to read Alan Schacknes
letter to the editor entitled
Misinterpretation in the Aug. 4 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal for a better
understanding of the true intent of the
Second Amendment. From a stand-
point of facts only, the Colorado mass
shooting incident had only a few main
factors involved. A gun was used, a
human being fired that gun and there
was a large gathering of human
beings in one location. Anyone edu-
cated in math, physics, science, psy-
chology and law, or anyone who has
common sense, knows that if you take
out the gun factor, there is a decreas-
ing chance for another shooting
tragedy. The gun factor is the only
material factor in this equation.
We as a society cant do anything
about the fact that we gather together
occasionally. But we can do some-
thing about limiting and controlling
gun purchases. If the pro-NRA crowd
are all law-abiding citizens like they
say, then they have nothing to worry
about. They are already following the
law, or are they? This issue is about
the proper control, restrictions and
background checks of purchasers of
guns, 50 round clips and assault rifles.
The pro-NRA crowd should know
this. But, the pro-NRA crowd is a me,
myself and I crowd and not a public
safety crowd. My late mother used to
always say, human beings are their
own worst enemies. You got that
right, mom!

Second Amendment
Editor,
Mr. Schacknes translation of the
Second Amendment
(Misinterpretation letter in the Aug.
4 edition of the Daily Journal) differs
from that of the U.S. Supreme Court.
After more than 200 years, the
Supreme Court declared that the
Second Amendment means exactly
what it says. Both James Madison,
father of the Constitution, and
Thomas Jefferson, author of the
Declaration of Independence, both
believed the Second Amendment was
the most important of the Bill of
Rights, because a defenseless people
could never protect their rights from a
government which wanted to deny
them.
The Militia Act of 1792 says that
every able-bodied adult male citizen
is the militia, not the army. If 18th
century muskets were all they meant
by keep and bear arms, then the
First Amendment meant you could
talk to the crowd in the park, or use
your quill pen to write a statement,
and then walk or ride your horse to a
printer. You certainly could not use
radio, telephone or television.
Oh, and the FBI says that every 13
seconds an armed citizen prevents or
stops a crime.

Full disclosure works both ways
Editor,
Both Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid
have chosen to accuse Mitt Romney
of tax evasion. It only seems fair that
they both release 10 years of tax
returns and contract awards as well.
Neither of these two is beyond
reproach. Reid has been accused of
sponsoring legislation benefitting his
relatives in Nevada. Ms. Pelosi has
been accused of awarding contracts to
her nephew on the Treasure Island
redevelopment.
If any one of you is without sin, let
him be the first to throw a stone at
her. John 8:7.

Responsible Republicans
Editor,
Has letter writer Harry Roussard
forgotten that former Republican gov-
ernor Arnold Schwarzenegger was
instrumental in bringing high-speed
rail to California? There are many
responsible Republican businessmen
and companies strongly in favor of
high-speed rails development. Those
looking to the future, not the past.

Letters to the editor
The Post and Courier of Charleston
W
hen is bad employment
news widely perceived as
good news for investors?
When its so bad that Federal Reserve
Chairman Ben Bernanke responds by
pumping more money into the econo-
my.
Thus, the paradoxical spectacle of
many financial firms actually rooting
for lousy job numbers when they were
released Aug. 3. Similar yearning for
setbacks in housing, manufacturing,
retail sales and other economic num-
bers also could help trigger yet anoth-
er rescue mission by the Fed.
The underlying problem with this
familiar scenario: At some point, if
the Fed keeps printing money we
dont really have to prop up stock-
price levels that arent really justified,
the U.S. dollar inevitably will lose
value.
And as long-term logic warns, if our
nation and many European nations
cant get their massive and still-
soaring public debts under control,
that collective red-ink flood will
remain a rising threat to a sustained
economic recovery. Bernanke periodi-
cally tries to make that point while
urging Congress to adopt effective
deficit-reduction measures.
Still, after the Fed panel met last, it
released a statement assuring that it
expects to maintain a highly accom-
modative stance for monetary policy.
In other words, if the economy
doesnt climb out of its rut by the next
Fed meeting in six weeks, Bernanke
just might prime that pump again by
printing more money.
You need not be a Wall Street
tycoon to find such reassurance
fleeting at best.
And when bad jobs news is regard-
ed as good stock-market news, our
investment system needs a more bal-
anced equation.
Printing money for Wall Street
Pole question
W
hy not pole dancing? The Olympics already
has athletic oddities like curling and, after
losing coolness points to the X Games, final-
ly gave in and accepted snowboarding and BMX as
events.
So why not pole dancing or, as the more serious ath-
letes, Zumba-weary moms and women who cant quite
cop to stripper curiosity, call it vertical fitness?
There are several side benefits to watching the
Olympics. A solid geography refresher is first and fore-
most. Kiribati and
Tajikistan? What? Where
the heck are some of these
places? When did a few
even become countries?
Another plus is the
reminder that sports exist
outside the well-known
staples of basketball, base-
ball, football and soccer.
Amazingly, little boys and
girls worldwide obviously
grew up with dreams of
gold medal victory in syn-
chronized swimming and
curling either that or
they at least agreed to default to another sport when the
better understood categories didnt work out.
Theres little other explanation for race walking or, as
it should be known, a competitive Easy Spirit commer-
cial. Cant quite measure up to Usain Bolt or even Lolo
Jones? Race walking! Race walking is obviously serious
business, though. An Italian race walking champion was
booted from the London games for illegal doping. Guess
the illegal blood booster helped him walk away from his
career just that much faster.
Race walking has actually appeared in all but one
Olympic Games since 1908 so obviously its no flash in
the pan but the label sport still sticks in the throat a
bit.
Same goes with handball. The Euro-centric
International Olympic Committee dropped softball and
baseball but let a recreational game with elusive rules
take a coveted spot? Karate would be a more understand-
able choice but it fell short in votes, along with squash.
Weve all watched The Karate Kid. Spectators would
tune in just to offer up cheesy quotes and yell Sweep
the leg!
Try doing that with handball.
Since viewership and, with it, advertising are appar-
ently the key components of broadcast scheduling, pole
dancing would undoubtedly draw more attention than,
say, dressage. In fact, one could say the draw would be
decidedly states of undress(age).
In any case, the International Pole Sports Federation is
pushing for a spot in the 2016 Olympics and recently
held an exhibition event to show the world competitors
do more than inspire financial rain. The dancers do
they even call themselves dancers? offer a mix of
strength, gymnastics and artistry, proponents argue.
Most importantly, their performance music would be
so much more entertaining than the Muzak-style tidbits
offered by a traditional floor exercise. Where else in the
legitimate Olympic Games is one likely to hear Pour
some sugar on me?
For those who claim pole dancing is not a legitimate
sport, look no further than trampoline. Trampoline!
Bouncing is not more worthwhile than spinning around a
metal pole on a stage. And the outfits? Anybody com-
fortable with the women of beach volleyball and some
track and field events have no right to complain.
The Olympics better draw the line at Quidditch,
though. Harry Potter fanatics might think the broom-
stick-centric matches are a fine fit for Olympic competi-
tion but wizards and muggles and something called a
snitch? Written explanations of the game talk of goal-
keeping and hoops bludgers and chasers and tennis balls
wrapped in a yellow sock. Frankly, the slightly confus-
ing rules, not to mention magical terms, make handball
seem like a breeze to understand.
On second thought, maybe quidditch is a good fit for
the Olympics. The fictional competition can be no
stranger than some of the events chosen to showcase
agility and feats of strength. And if they dont work out,
the committee can send the events the way of baseball
and softball.
At least trying shows the IOC to be a good sport.

A stock market rally lost steam
Wednesday after mixed earnings from
U.S. companies added to fears about
Europes economic slowdown.
Several big consumer goods compa-
nies warned that weak demand in Europe
was cutting into their revenue. That fol-
lowed worrisome economic news from
England, France and Germany, where
growth had offset recessions in other
European countries like Italy and Greece.
Major U.S. stock indexes closed little
changed. The Dow Jones industrial aver-
age nished up 7.04 points, or 0.1 per-
cent, at 13,175.64. The Standard &
Poors 500 index added 0.87 point, or 0.1
percent, to 1,402.22. The Nasdaq closed
down 4.61 points, or 0.2 percent, at
3,011.25.
The Dow had risen 290 points over the
previous three trading days. On Tuesday,
the S&P 500 passed 1,400 and the
Nasdaq composite closed above 3,000,
both for the rst time since early May.
As stocks in New York traded tenta-
tively, the dollar rose against the euro, a
sign that investors are becoming more
fearful.
Its not unusual for the market to pull
back a bit after a strong move, absorb the
latest earnings news and look to see the
next catalyst to move higher, Quincy
Krosby, market strategist with Prudential
Financial, said.
The market is being held back in part
by reports from consumer-goods compa-
nies that weak sales in Europe are hurting
revenue, Krosby said. Consumer discre-
tionary stocks fell the most among the 10
industry groups in the S&P 500.
McDonalds fell $1.48 to $87.53 after
the company said a key revenue gure
came in at in July as the weakening
global economy took a toll on customers
of the worlds biggest burger chain.
McDonalds was the weakest stock in the
Dow.
Priceline.com fell more than $100 after
warning investors late Tuesday that its
third-quarter revenue and income would
come in far below analysts forecasts
because of the deepening malaise in
Europe. Pricelines stock sank $117.48,
or 17.3 percent, to $562.32.
Pricelines travails dragged on other
online travel sites. TripAdvisor fell $1.89
to $36.77 and Expedia lost $2.73 to
$56.14 percent. That made them three of
the ve biggest losers in the S&P 500
index.

Citigroup will try something new to
keep struggling homeowners out of fore-
closure: turn them into renters.
CitiMortgage announced the program
Wednesday and painted it as a way to help
homeowners stuck in houses they cant
afford. The New York-based bank, howev-
er, wont manage the program. Instead, it
is handing the reigns to an investment
rm. The bank just sold a $158 million
mortgage portfolio to investment rms
that will manage the program.
It will work like this: Carrington Capital
Management and its sister mortgage com-
pany will comb the portfolio for eligible
homeowners though theyre homeown-
ers in name only, since they are still pay-
ing for their houses. Carrington is looking
for people who owe more on their house
than its worth, but also seem to have the
means to keep making monthly payments.
They also must live in the house, mean-
ing it cant be a vacation home or invest-
ment property. And they have to be at least
four months late on payments.
Carrington says the pilot program will
help about 500 homeowners in six mar-
kets that have been hit especially hard by
the plunge in housing prices: Arizona,
California, Texas, Florida, Nevada and
Georgia. It says it will begin contacting
eligible homeowners this month.
Citigroup tries another housing tack: Own to rent
THE PLAN: Citigroup is trying to help keep
struggling homeowners out of foreclosure by
turning them into renters.
HOW IT WORKS: Carrington Capital
Management will contact homeowners who
owe more on their house than its worth, but
also seem to have the means to keep making
monthly payments.Homeowners who choose
to participate would have to transfer the
ownership of their house to Carrington and
another rm, Oaktree Capital Management.
WHO IT HELPS: Carrington says the pilot
program will help about 500 homeowners in
the hardest hit housing markets: Arizona,
California,Texas, Florida, Nevada and Georgia.

Google to include users
Gmail in search results
By Michael Liedtke
SAN FRANCISCO Google is creating an information
bridge between its inuential Internet search engine and its
widely used Gmail service in its latest attempt to deliver more
personal responses more quickly.
The experimental feature unveiled Wednesday will enable
Googles search engine to mine the correspondence stored
within a users Gmail account for any data tied to a search
request. For example, a query containing the word Amazon
would pull emails with shipping information sent by the online
retailer.
Such Gmail results will typically be shown to the right of the
main results, though in some instances, the top of the search
page will highlight an answer extracted directly from an email.
Iraqs Kurdish region
resumes pumping oil
SULAIMANIYAH, Iraq Iraqs self-ruled northern
Kurdish region has resumed pumping crude oil earmarked for
export through the central governments pipeline after halting
it for four months over a payment dispute.
The regions Natural Resources Minister Ashti Hawrami
said Wednesday the pumping started the day before, planning
to reach 100,000 barrels a day in the coming two days.
In 2011, a tentative deal was reached between the two
administrations to allow the Kurds to send crude to Baghdad,
which then sells it. Each side takes 50 percent of the revenues.
But pumping was stopped in April by the Kurds, who claimed
that Baghdad failed to send them the money.
The Kurds and Baghdad are in a long-running dispute over
the right to develop the regions resources.

Americansprinter AllysonFelix nally captured that elusive gold medal in the 200 in London, after earning silver medals in Athens in 2004
and Beijing in 2008.
By Eddie Pells
LONDON No more heartbreak for
Allyson Felix. No more silver, either.
Denied twice on the worlds biggest stage,
Felix won the Olympic gold medal shes been
yearning for, taking the 200 meters
Wednesday night to ll the last, and biggest,
hole in her otherwise stellar resume.
Felix won the race in 21.88 seconds, topping
Jamaicas Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who won
the 100 four nights earlier, by .21 seconds.
American Carmelita Jeter added bronze to go
with her silver in the 100 meters.
I think it was all for a reason, Felix said.
It kept me motivated and it made this moment
very special. It was a big weight being lifted.
She won easily, leaving nothing to chance
or a coin ip that caused such a ap at
Olympic trials as she hugged the line
around the curve, then burst ahead of Fraser-
Pryce with 40 meters to go and gave coach
Bobby Kersee another gold medal to celebrate.
Finishing fourth was Jamaicas Veronica
Campbell-Brown, who defeated Felix in the
Athens and Beijing Games and was trying to
become the rst woman to win the same indi-
vidual track and eld event in three consecu-
Felix is finally golden
S
hame on anyone, especially New
York Time columnist Jer
Longman, for suggesting American
hurdler Lolo Jones is all style and no sub-
stance.
In a column published Aug. 4, Longman
says Jones is essentially the face of the
U.S. womens track and eld team simply
because of her looks and slick marketing. It
doesnt help when Jones own teammate,
Dawn Harper, who
won gold in 2008 and
nished second in
London, comes off
sounding petty and
jealous.
Heres the real
deal: Jones time in
the spotlight was
2008 and she amed
out when leading the
100-meter hurdles,
she hit the nal barri-
er, stumbled and n-
ished seventh. She
should be commended for even making it
back to London four years later. What
Longman failed to mention in the column
is that Jones suffered from a debilitating
spinal condition that led to surgery last
November. The sheer fact she rehabbed and
made it back to compete in the U.S. track
and eld trials was a huge accomplishment.
Then, when everyone counted her out, she
nished third at the trials and made the
Olympic team.
Detractors then said there would be no
way she would even make it out of her heat
in London. Not only did she advance, she
made it all the way to the nals and was a
tenth of second away from claiming the
bronze medal.

Driving through South San Francisco on
certain evenings, there is a blanket of fog that
hugs the city.
But did you know that the South City fog
found a way to extend all the way to
Cooperstown, N.Y. this summer?
Fifteen young boys and ve coaches trav-
eled to Cooperstown Dream Park for eight
baseball games and a lifetime of memories.
The SSF Fog returned Aug. 3, bringing with
them a 4-4 record.
Its a really fantastic experience for the
kids, said Fog head coach Gary Lutz. Not
only traveling across the country, but when
they get there, theyre playing against kids
from across the country and out of the coun-
try. To them, it was like the World Series. It
was that big. Youre talking about playing
against 103 different teams, seven games min-
imum. Its just the experience of being in
Cooperstown.
In a way, the Fog was a team of players in a
huge candy store if your choice of sweets is
baseball. Not only did they get to play base-
ball, but they got to visit the Hall of Fame and
partake in what Lutz called a baseball vil-
lage.

NAPA The Oakland Raiders are relieved
running back Mike Goodsons neck injury
isnt too serious. When they get him back on
the eld remains to be seen.
Goodson sat out of practice Wednesday
with lingering soreness, a day after being
hospitalized with a neck injury following a
scary training camp hit.
We care about all of these guys, coach
Dennis Allen said. Nobody wants to see
anybody get hurt especially something as
serious as a neck injury. The fact that every-
thing came back ne was obviously very
relieving to all of us.
Allen said he didnt know when Goodson
will be back but does not anticipate it taking
as long as a few weeks.
Goodson and Taiwan Jones were expected
to compete for time as Darren McFaddens
backup in Oakland. But with Jones also side-
lined with a hamstring injury, former practice
squader Lonyae Miller will get a chance to
shine in the exhibition opener on Monday
night against Dallas.
I would expect that he would be tired after
Monday nights game, Allen said.
Miller signed with Dallas as an undrafted
free agent out of Fresno State in 2010. He
rushed for 2,062 yards and 20 touchdowns in
four seasons at Fresno State but has no car-
ries in the NFL.
He spent most of his rst season on the
practice squad, playing four late-season
games mostly on special teams. Miller joined
Oaklands practice squad last December but
never made the active roster.
Im just trying to take everything day by
day, he said. Im just trying to take every
moment like now we just nished practice
and now its lunch. Just stuff like that. Just
trying not to get too far ahead of myself.
Thats the way I take it. Thats the way I
approach it.
With the Raiders (No. 23 tie in the AP
Pro32) having lost big back Michael Bush to
Chicago in free agency in the offseason, they
are looking for a physical, short yardage back
to complement McFadden.
Fullback Marcel Reece got some carries in
practice Wednesday and could ll that role
this season but Miller also could be an option
if he has a strong camp.
Ive been impressed with what Lonyaes
been able to do, Allen said. Hes a different
type of back than the other backs that weve
got. Hes a little bit more of a downhill,
pounder type guy. He doesnt have quite the
same explosiveness as those other guys but
hes been a consistent runner. What Ive seen
and what hes done in the zone scheme is,
hes understood what his reads are, hes made
the proper reads, got his pads downhill and
made some yards.
Backup RBs banged up
By Antonio Gonzalez
SANTA CLARA Cory Nelms ran off
the eld in the middle of the San Francisco
49ers practice Wednesday to go watch televi-
sion. Dont worry, he had special permission.
Call it an Olympic moment.
The second-year cornerback cheered on
girlfriend Terea Brown in the nal of the
400-meter hurdles from eight time zones
away, watching the fellow American nish
sixth in London after posting a personal best
of 54.21 seconds in the seminals. Brown ran
the nal in 55.07. Natalya Antyukh of Russia
won in 52.70.
It was exciting. Your heart is pumping out
your chest, Nelms said after watching the
nal. You dont know whats going to hap-
pen when that light goes off and youre just a
spectator like everybody else.
Im denitely proud of her. Im denitely
sure she went out there and did her best. Im
thinking maybe its been a long week.
Peaking two times back to back, thats a lot on
your body. Maybe thats all she had this year.
In many ways, this week has been a culmi-
nation of hard work for the couple.
Nelms is a former hurdler at the University
of Miami, where he met Brown and walked on
the football team. Nelms also won hurdles in
the 60-meter indoor (2009) and 110-meter
outdoor (2010) at the Atlantic Coast
Conference championships.
49ers CB has his Olympic moment
Goodell: More female
officials are possible
CHAUTAUQUA, N.Y. Shannon Eastin
could be the rst of several female game ofcials
in the league, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell
said.
Eastin is a replacement line judge who will
make her NFL debut in Thursday nights
Green Bay at San Diego exhibition game. The
regular ofcials are locked out by the league
after their contract expired.
I think its a great opportunity for her, and for
us, Goodell said Wednesday at an ethics in sports
seminar. She deserves the opportunity, shes well
prepared for it, and I think shell do terric. So
were excited about that.
And there are more coming, by the way. Weve
been working along this path to try to properly
train and prepare a female ofcial, and now we
have the opportunity.
Eastin is a referee in the Mid-Eastern Athletic
Conference (FCS division) and also runs a com-
pany that trains ofcials in football and basketball.

LONDON Misty May-Treanor danced on
the sand and then off it, taking a victory lap
around the court before leaving Horse Guards
Parade with Kerri Walsh Jennings as three-time
Olympic beach volleyball gold medalists.
Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor extended
their Olympic winning streak to 21 straight
unbeaten in Athens, Beijing and now London
with a 21-16, 21-16 victory over Jennifer
Kessy and April Ross on Wednesday night in
an all-American championship game.
The match started with nearby Big Ben peal-
ing the hour and ended with the Star-Spangled
Banner playing in the iconic venue near the
Prime Ministers Downing Street ofce and
just down the Mall from the royal residence at
Buckingham Palace. Playing on Henry VIIIs
jousting tiltyard, with the current Prince Harry
in the crowd, Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor
continued their reign as champions of the
beach.
We set the bar very high, said May-
Treanor, who has said she will retire. We
extended ourselves over that bar even higher.
Even Ross and Kessy, who won a silver
medal in their Olympic debut, have called their
fellow Americans legends.
Theyre the best team of all time, Kessy
said.
Dominating the sport for three Olympics,
Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor have won
every match theyve ever played at the Summer
Games and lost just one of 43 sets.
No one had ever won even two beach volley-
ball gold medals before the Americans won
their second straight in Beijing.
No woman had ever won three Olympic
beach volleyball medals of any kind.
Kudos. Hats off to them, Ross said.
Thats just ridiculous.
Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor pulled
away in the rst set and were never threat-
ened in the second, falling to their knees and
hugging as Ross nal serve went long on
match point.
May-Treanor, who was knocked out of
Dancing with the Stars when she tore her
Achilles tendon, then began doing a funky jig
to rival the scantily clad cheerleaders who help
bring the beach party atmosphere to the sold-
out crowds in central London.
The winners then took the celebration to the
stands, circling the temporary 15,000-seat sta-
dium built on the household cavalrys cen-
turies-old parade grounds and high-ving just
about anyone holding an American ag. They
hugged their family and friends in the stands
although not May-Treanors husband, Matt, a
Los Angeles Dodgers catcher who was watch-
ing on a computer from the teams clubhouse.
They hugged on the podium after the gold
medals were draped around their neck then
shared one with their fellow Californians
rst-time Olympians who helped give the
United States its best womens nish since
beach volleyball was added to the Olympics in
1996.

LONDON Its not just about the gold
medal. Its about redemption.
The womens soccer tournament couldnt
ask for a better nale. United States vs. Japan.
Rematch of the World Cup nal. Wembley
Stadium. Quite possibly the largest crowd
ever to watch women play the sport at the
Olympics.
And an American team ush with passion,
bent on mending the heartache from a penalty
kick shootout loss to the Japanese in Frankfurt
13 months ago.
Ive been hoping for this nal, U.S. for-
ward Abby Wambach said, from the moment
I stepped off the podium in Germany.
The Americans got a heros welcome for
their second-place nish from fans enthralled
by the come-from-behind cliffhangers and
engaging personalities. Brave faces were in
order. The kudos were nice, but coach and
players were bummed out. Coach Pia
Sundhage went home to Sweden and tuned
out soccer completely for a while. Hope Solo
went on Dancing With the Stars.
The passage of time helped a little. Winning
the gold on Thursday would do so much
more.
Its definitely redemption, midfielder
Carli Lloyd said. But its also an opportuni-
ty, an opportunity to show the world that
were the No. 1 team.
The Americans are still ranked No. 1 and
are the two-time defending Olympic champi-
ons. They have the deepest, most talented
team in the tournament. By contrast, Japans
World Cup triumph was a stunner, as well as
a psychological salve for a nation recovering
from a triple tragedy of earthquake, tsunami
and nuclear meltdown.
But the Nadeshiko were worthy of the title,
playing disciplined, tactical and savvy soccer.
The savviness returned at the Olympics, when
coach Norio Sasaki told his players to delib-
erately try not to score during a game against
South Africa because a victory would have
required extra travel. Its a tactic Sundhage
said she would never try.
Japan also has a chance to become the rst
team to win the World Cup and Olympics in
back-to-back years.

since 2008, she deserves accolades for
embodying the Olympic spirit.
As far as her marketing, why is she being
blamed if big-name companies, such as
McDonalds, want her to endorse their prod-
uct? No, no. I dont deserve to make money
off my image because I didnt win a medal
four years ago and Im not expected to do so
this time around.
Are you kidding me? Very few people gives a
hoot about track and eld, except when the
Olympics roll around. These athletes are enti-
tled to make a living. If its through commer-
cials and she got those commercials because
of her looks, more power to her.
But to blame her for making a buck off her
looks while not having the chops athletically
is unfair. Her back story is amazing: living in
the basement of a Salvation Army and mak-
ing ends meet as a petty thief growing up.
Add in the spinal surgery mere months before
the Olympics and its the stuff about which
movies are made. Harper said in the article
her upbringing was just as rough, but she did-
nt want to put it out in the public.
Maybe if she did, she would have received
the attention Jones got. She didnt. Now,
Longman compares Jones to former tennis
pro Anna Kournikova, whose claim to fame is
she is a pretty woman who never won a pro-
fessional tennis tournament. Jones is the U.S.
record holder in the 100-meter hurdles. That
is quite an accomplishment, as is her
Olympic legacy medal or no medal.

While this space is usually reserved for
sports, I sometimes touch on subjects outside
the world of athletics.
This is one of those times. In the wake of
the tragic shooting in Colorado last month,
there are calls, once again, to ban guns.
Anyone who knows me knows I am very
pro-gun. My dad was a San Francisco police
ofcer/SWAT member/inspector for 28 years
as well as an avid hunter. I grew up surround-
ed by guns and hunting. One of my earliest
recollections is as a 5-year-old, holding my
dads shotgun and case in front of the fami-
lys Volkswagen Bug.
Dont get me wrong. I am against any kind
of gun violence, but my main objection with
the medias portrayal of these sick individuals
who go on these shooting sprees is that semi-
automatic assault weapons are to blame.
Perhaps assault weapons are the problem,
but dont the two terms are not interchange-
able. All assault weapons are semi-automatic.
Not all semi-automatics are assault weapons.
I currently own two semi-automatic
rearms neither of which would be con-
fused with an assault weapon. I have a .22
caliber rie and a 12-gauge shotgun. Both re
as fast as I can pull the trigger. That is what
makes it semi-automatic. Full auto would be
a machine gun. I use both for hunting and
plinking around. Ninety percent of hunting
ries are semi-automatic.
So go ahead and ban assault-style weapons,
but it wont cure the problem. The fact of the
matter is, assault weapons look cool and
scary, but any lunatic could do just as much
damage with any semi-automatic weapon.
Besides, I dont think banning guns will
solve anything. These sick individuals are
looking to cause as much damage as possible.
Ban guns and theyll just look for a different
way to carry out their twisted plots.
I suggest the United States sets up a data-
base that tracks all gun and ammunition pur-
chases. When a person reaches a certain
threshold, it triggers an alert and that individ-
ual receives a visit from someone represent-
ing Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives for a little interview session to
make sure everything is on the up and up; just
to check in to gauge the mental capacity of
the person stocking up. I have a feeling if law
enforcement knew the Colorado shooter had
6,000 rounds of ammo, they would have liked
to have known. Perhaps they could have
stopped him before he carried out his deadly
plan.

LOUNGE
Getting there wasnt easy. First, the players
had to fulll certain criteria.
One of the things they look at is a kid that
shows character and is a good sportsman, Lutz
said. And it also has to do with talent.
The Fog is made up of players from the 12
South City Bronco teams. Once the season is
over and a tryout completed, the 15 boys are
united and gel through three tournaments
before heading to Cooperstown.
Considering were a city team, only put
together from our league and we take a lot of
kids, we did well, Lutz said. And we go up
against teams [that draw] from all over their
county.
It wasnt just a team experience. The 20
members of the Fog brought along family and
as you can imagine, the money raised by the
team wasnt a small gure. Still, Lutz said the
hard work was well worth it.
Even one of the coaches that came with us,
Lutz said, we were out there and we hadnt
even played a game yet and he said, Im get-
ting all warm and fuzzy inside just being
here.
Once players and coaches got past the awe of
baseballs historical Mecca, there were games
to play.
Our kids were a little overwhelmed at rst,
Lutz said, just with the idea of playing out
there because they heard so much about it get-
ting there.
The Fog settled down. In fact, their tourna-
ment started with a home run off the bat of
Nikoh Mitchell on the games second pitch.
He carried those good vibes throughout the
tournament, hitting another along the way.
Jason DaSilva hit his rst and second career
home runs while in Cooperstown, and Eric
Casillas Jr. went deep as well.
I can see the kids getting better and better
each game, Lutz said. And I could see even
when they were down by a couple runs, they
kept ghting. And there were times when they
were down a few runs and came back. And
there were times when they were up a few
and held on.
For the tournament, Lutz said his team hit
around .300 and had a .430 on-base percentage.
Things were slightly different on the mound.
Thats the toughest thing when you go out
there, Lutz said. A couple of kids got used
twice as you get toward the end, you try to get
them out there for an inning or two, no more
than three. And thats really where we came up
short just not enough pitching.
While the Fog didnt perform as well on the
mound, they did get in a pretty special pitch.
Nate Deinla, who broke his left arm and had
two titanium rods implanted before heading to
Cooperstown, threw out the ceremonial rst
pitch for the tournaments championship game.
It was still fantastic to go back out there, to
go to the Hall of Fame and see the kids faces,
Lutz said of his second trip with the Fog the
rst coming in 2006. My eyes werent as big
this time, having gone through the experience
before so I kind of able to absorb it a little
more. But it was still a fantastic experience.
The members of the Fog included Deinla,
Casillas Jr., Mitchell, DaSilva, A. J. Alston,
Uriel Prieto, Tai Garcia, Damien Lum (Bubba),
Kyle Keahi, Ivan Vargas, Andrew Kent,
Michael Carman, Rudy Rivera, John Fitch and
Eric Rocha.

ST. LOUIS Marco Scutaro hit
a grand slam and drove in a career-
high seven runs, leading Ryan
Vogelsong and the San Francisco
Giants to a 15-0 romp over the St.
Louis Cardinals on Wednesday
night.
Scutaro had an RBI single in the
third, a two-run double in the eighth
and then hit his third career slam,
connecting in the ninth off Mitchell
Boggs.
Ahead 2-0, the Giants broke it
open with ve runs in the sixth.
They turned the game into a rout
with four runs in the eighth and four
more in the ninth.
Vogelsong (10-5) gave up three
hits in seven innings. He has gone at
least six innings in all 21 of his
starts, the longest such streak for a
Giants pitcher since Bill Swift did it
24 straight times in 1993.
Hunter Pence had two hits and
scored twice. He began the day bat-
ting .143 (4 for 28) in seven games
for the Giants since being traded
from Philadelphia.
Melky Cabrera also had two hits
and scored two runs. He leads the
majors with 154 hits.
Cabrera led off the sixth with a
double against Joe Kelly (2-5) and
after a walk to Buster Posey, Pence
hit an RBI single. Brandon Belts
single loaded the bases and an error
by second baseman Tyler Greene on
Ryan Theriots ground ball led to
two more runs and Kellys depar-
ture.
Brandon Crawford later had an
RBI single and Angel Pagans sacri-
ce y made it 7-0.
Jon Jay had two singles for the
Cardinals in his third straight multi-
hit game. He is 11 for 22 in his last
six games.
NOTES:
Boggs had gone 23 straight
appearances without allowing a run.
... Allen Craig, who hit two solo
home runs Tuesday, was out of the
St. Louis starting lineup with sore-
ness near his ribs. ... Adam
Wainwright (9-10) tries to reach the

SPORTS/LOCAL
Instead, the Americans were the ones celebrating three straight, their
own 15 minutes of fame: Felix, followed quickly by Aries Merritt in the
110 hurdles and Brittney Reese in the long jump.
We are always aware of what the medal count is, said Jason
Richardson, who nished second to Merritt in the hurdles as part of a
seven-medal day at the track for the United States. I know track and
eld can ... let the world know the Americans are the best track and eld
country.
Reese, a two-time world champion, became only the second
American woman to win the long jump at the Olympics, leaping 23
feet, 4 1/2 inches (7.12 meters) on her second attempt. Jackie Joyner-
Kersee gave the U.S. its other gold in 1988.
Janay Deloach added a bronze and now the Americans head into the
last four days of the Olympics with 20 medals at the track 10 away
from fullling their Project 30 aspirations for the London Games.
Felix certainly did her part.
Shes been trying very hard for this moment, said Jeter, who
became the rst U.S. woman to medal in both sprints since Florence
Grifth-Joyner in 1988. When I gave her a hug, thats exactly what I
told her: Youve waited for this moment.
In 2011, Felix and her coach, Bobby Kersee Joyner-Kersees hus-
band harbored visions of an Olympic double in the 200 and 400
meters.

use the Bay to Transit Trail Phase 1 as a community preview
for the future development of the Bay to Transit Trail.
A park-like setting is sought along the channel, if funds per-
mit.
The Public Works Department is currently seeking proposals
for the plans engineering and design services.
Phase 1 will develop a new bike path over the existing 12- to-
13- foot wide maintenance dirt path. The path will be paved
and a railing will be installed for safety, according to the citys
request for proposals document.
Landscaping and path amenities will also be provided for the
new bike path as well as the connecting portion of the existing
San Mateo County North-South Bicycle Route along the rail-
road tracks from the Hayward Park Caltrain station to the San
Mateo County Event Center. The route runs from Brisbane
until meeting up with Delaware Street in San Mateo.
The city is seeking design proposals for Phase 1 of the proj-
ect up until Aug. 16. A consultant agreement is expected to be
in place by October, according to the request for proposals doc-
ument.
The Bay Trail is a 500-mile shoreline trail around the Bay.
On the Peninsula, it stretches from San Francisco to Foster
City to the north and Redwood Shores to Newark to the south.

OAKLAND Chris Carter hit a two-
run homer to cap a ve-run eighth inning
and the Oakland Athletics overcame a
shaky outing by rookie Dan Straily to
beat the Los Angeles Angels 9-8
Wednesday.
George Kottaras also homered and
Yoenis Cespedes added a two-run single
for the As, who won the nal two games
of the series against their division rivals
after losing the opener.
Oakland, which began the day a game
behind Detroit in the AL wild card race,
improved to 17-8 since the All-Star
break.
Kendrys Morales hit two of the Angels
ve home runs. Four of them came off
Straily, the As right-hander who was
making only his second career start.
Zack Greinke walked five in five
innings, remaining winless since his trade
from Milwaukee to the Angels.
Pat Neshek (1-0) recorded one out in
the sixth for his rst win with the As.
Ryan Cook, the sixth Oakland pitcher,
gave up two runs in the ninth before lock-
ing down his 12th save.
The As beat the Angels for the seventh
time this season and kept pace with rst-
place Texas in the AL West despite the
rocky outing from Straily and blowing a
4-1 lead.
They did it by getting production
throughout the lineup: Eight Oakland
starters had at least one hit and six drove
in runs.
The As needed every bit of it after
falling behind 5-4.
Coco Crisp started the comeback with
a game-tying RBI double in the sixth
before Cespedes lined a single to right to
drive in Crisp and Josh Reddick. Carter
followed with his two-run home run to
give the As a 9-5 lead.

As 9, Angels 8
in San Mateo County. Lew Cohen and
Steve Feldman, both 53 years old, met
years ago while attending Sacramento
State University. Their friendship led to
the two small bookstores located just
blocks apart.
After retiring from a 20-year career as a
private investigator, Cohen was ready for
a change of pace. Cohen contacted
Feldman, who has been selling books for
25 years, and proposed going into busi-
ness together. Four years ago, they opened
B Street Bookstore at 301 S. B St.
The two friends have roots in literature.
Feldmans mother, who often bought, sold
and traded books at her leisure, inspired
both her sons to open bookstores. Cohen,
who studied English in college, said he
always had a book going.
I feel out of sorts if I dont have a book
lined up, he said.
Initially, Cohen and Feldman jointly ran
B Street Books for more than three years.
In 2011, when M is for Mystery bookstore
owner Ed Kaufman decided to retire,
Feldman said he jumped at the opportuni-
ty to take over the location at 86 E. Third
Ave. and turned it into Otter Books.
Owned by Feldman, Otter Books contin-
ues to retain the aesthetics of the previous
store including the skylights and mobile
bookshelves that can be rearranged for
special events.
Because the stores are located in a busy
downtown near a movie theater, many
customers happen upon the used book
havens, or even go to the stores as a fami-
ly outing. Over the summer Tammy Pile
and her kids will go to a movie, have
lunch and come and get a book.
That was our activity, she said.
A trip to the local bookstore is fun for
parents as well. David Rios and his daugh-
ters are regular customers at B Street
Books.
Im like a kid in a candy store. Its
pleasant to come into ... theres always
something to nd. We just love it, its a
nice little family outing for us, Rios said.
Cohen, now solely running B Street
Books, enjoys having a hearty childrens
section. He and his wife Kelly believe
reading is fundamental in a childs devel-
opment and success in school, said
Cohen. With his wifes help, they hold
events where teachers bring their students
to the store as a eld trip, said Cohen.
Feldmans Otter Books also holds vari-
ous events. Plink and Plunk, a childrens
concert, was recently held. Thrilled by the
spacious store, he hopes to arrange more
events that are, he said, good for the
community. I love the fact that I can do
that. Otter Books is one of many stores
Feldman has run, including a store in
Burlingame and Feldmans Books in
Menlo Park opened by Feldman and his
brother Jack.
The two friends, who are no longer part-
ners, feel no competition between them
and happily refer each other to customers
who dont nd what theyre looking for.
We feel like there are a lot of readers in
the area. So I think the two stores in the
end will help us, said Cohen.
Neither Cohen nor Feldman view their
stores in competition with larger sellers
such as Barnes and Noble or the recently
bankrupt Borders. Selling used books at
cheap prices, out-of-print books and
antique or collectible books sets them
apart in a niche of their own.
The differences go beyond merchan-
dise, said Feldman. At a local store, the
customers have an impact.
You can make a suggestion to the
owner and you can see your effect on
it. In a way, Im kind of growing the
store in the way the customers want,
said Feldman.
Even with new electronic book read-
ers, there are those who believe theres
still a large market for print books that
cannot be replaced by new technology.
For Cohen, books are easier. You dont
have to worry about chargers, theft or
damaging an expensive piece of technol-
ogy. He questions the long-term practi-
cality of e-book readers since technolo-
gy is constantly changing.
I bet in 100 years this nicely bound
leather book printed on acid-free paper
will still be able to be used, long after the
Kindle is dust, he said.
Both Cohen and Feldman sincerely
appreciate the experience of visiting a
small bookstore, looking around and nd-
ing a book that can inspire. Regardless of
technological advancements, B Street
Books and Otter Books exist because of
the dedication and adoration of two book
lovers.
Im glad Im carrying on this selling of
books, cause theres really not that many
people doing it anymore, said Feldman.

Need help in your garden?
Workers bugs are waiting
P
lanting, watering, fertilizing, weeding, mulching,
composting, deadheading, harvesting theres hard-
ly any time in the year that a gardener can take it
easy.
Wouldnt it be great to
have some assistance keeping
your garden healthy and
attractive?
Well, help is available and
it costs next to nothing. The
secret is to plant and tend
your garden so that it attracts
natures helpers: birds and benecial insects.
Birds
Many of our areas most common birds are voracious
insect eaters, such as chickadees, mockingbirds, phoebes and
wrens. To attract them and encourage them to stay a while,
your garden should provide an enticing habitat. Provide birds
with shelter, safety, clean water and nesting sites. Shrubs,
hedges, brush piles and trees even dead tree limbs give
birds places to rest, hide and raise a family. Birds seem to
prefer a garden that is somewhat unkempt, rather than one
that is meticulously manicured (What a great excuse for
being a bit of a slacker gardener).
Whatever the water source a birdbath or other shallow
container lled with water make sure it isnt completely
out in the open because that makes bathing or sipping birds
prime pickings for predators such as hawks and neighbor-
hood cats. Nestle the container against a hedge or tuck it
under the branches of a shrub.
Beneficial insects
Lots of the insects you see in your garden arent pests; they
are a gardeners allies. Bees, dragonies, lacewings, spiders,
ladybugs and certain wasps and ies are among the benecial
insects you want in your garden. They eat pests and they pol-

In a GPS world, physical maps are
becoming quaint relics for travelers. But
decor with a map theme is hot.
Theres art in cartography: Street
grids, the curve of a shoreline and topo-
graphic details lend themselves to wall
art, rugs and textiles. Besides being great
visuals, maps often chart our personal
experiences, and that sentimental punch
adds to their appeal.
Tony and Katie Rodono of Atlanta
started their City Prints map art store
after their daughter was born. We real-
ized maps are great storytellers of
where we met, went to school, went on
vacation, says Rodono.
They sell readymade and custom maps
of campuses, ballparks and hometowns.
Theyll make one of your favorite holi-
day spot or hiking trail. Coming soon:
maps from video games, movies and TV
shows. (www.cityprintsmapart.com, $40

restoration of Yosemite National Park; and
give voters approval power over any recom-
mendations through a charter amendment that
will appear on the November 2016 ballot.
The initiative is sponsored by Restore Hetch
Hetchy, a nonprot San Francisco agency, that
ultimately wants to tear down the
OShaughnessy Dam and unveil a valley that
has been lled with water for more than 90
years. The reservoir provides water for 2.6
million Bay Area residents.
Environmentalists want to reclaim the valley
with the help of city voters but the Bay Area
Water Supply and Conservation Agency is
opposed to draining the Hetch Hetchy
Reservoir unless and until the water cus-
tomers outside San Francisco ... vote on
whether the resulting water supply reliability
and water quality are acceptable and whether
they are willing to pay their share of initial on
ongoing costs needed to implement such a
plan.
BAWSCAs Chief Executive Ofcer Art
Jensen said his group, which represents water
users in San Mateo, Alameda and Santa Clara
counties, will not take a formal position on the
San Francisco ballot measure.
However, since San Francisco residents only
use about a third of the Hetch Hetchy water,
the majority of its water users in the remainder
of the Bay Area should have a say on whether
to restore the valley, Jensen told the Daily
Journal.
Draining the reservoir could be a serious
threat to the users who depend on it and the
California economy, Jensen said.
BAWSCA has 26 member agencies and has
a board comprised of local elected ofcials.
The San Francisco Public Utilities
Commission, which is in the middle of a $4.5
billion Water System Improvement Project to
improve water distribution from Hetch Hetchy,
also will not take a formal position on the bal-
lot measure since the SFPUC is a public
agency, Radhika Fox, director of policy and
legislative affairs with the agency, told the
Daily Journal.
The agency did, however, offer an analysis
of the ballot initiative to the citys Department
of Elections from its General Manager Ed
Harrington.
The Hetch Hetchy Reservoir stores 85 per-
cent of the water delivered to San Francisco. If
it is drained, water rates will go up; the city
will incur an extra $41 million in additional
annual costs due to loss in hydropower sales;
water reliability will be reduced and the area
will become more vulnerable during droughts,
according to Harringtons analysis.
BAWSCA member agencies purchase its
water from the SFPUC.
The ballot measure includes a number of
ndings about the Hetch Hetchy Water and
Power System that are misleading or factually
inaccurate, Harrington wrote in the analysis
of the ballot measure.
Effect on water rates
The average customer, Harrington writes,
would see their water bills increase from $709
to $2,777 more each year if Hetch Hetchy is
drained.
But Restore Hetch Hetchy states that
Tuolumne River water can be stored in eight
other reservoirs outside of Yosemite National
Park and that lost habitats in the valley can and
should be restored.
Foster City Councilman Charlie Bronitsky,
who sits on the BAWSCA board, does not nec-
essarily have an opinion on whether Hetch
Hetchy should be restored but told the Daily
Journal that the rest of its water users outside
of San Francisco should be able to vote on its
outcome.
We pay our share for the improvements and
we should have a say on how the funds are
spent, Bronitsky said. Theres a fundamental
unfairness when two-thirds of its users dont
have a say.
Restore Hetch Hetchys Spreck Rosekrans
told the Daily Journal yesterday that
BAWSCA would have a greater say in mod-
ernizing the system if its measure passes in
November.
Rosekrans, the agencys policy director, said
full participation into Hetch Hetchys fate
should be, in part, decided by water users out-
side the city.
We support full participation of all water
users. Our measure will give a seat at the table
that they do not have now, Rosekrans said.
If Hetch Hetchy is drained, the Bay Area
will still be getting the same high-quality
Tuolumne River water, he said.
A modest amount of makeup supply would
be needed, Rosekrans said. Its doable.
The Water Conservation and Yosemite
Restoration Initiative is endorsed by the
National Parks Conservation Association,
Sierra Nevada Alliance, Foothill Conservancy,
Forest Issues Group, Friends of the River,
California Water Impact Network, EcoEquity,
Endangered Species Coalition and the
Planning and Conservation League.
It is not endorsed, however, by the
Tuolumne River Trust, a nonprot agency
founded in 1981, with a mission that includes
protecting salmon species and keeping the
river available for recreational uses.
Its such a heated issue that we feel it would
distract from all of the work we do throughout
the watershed. said Peter Drekmeier, Bay
Area program director for the trust.
Opposition and support
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee has come out
against the November ballot measure.
A group of right-wing Republicans, led by
ultra-conservative Congressman Dan Lungren
have joined with a small number of well-inten-
tioned but misguided local residents to drain
Hetch Hetchy, making reckless claims that the
pristine drinking water and clean hydropower
can be easily and cheaply replaced, Lee wrote
in a statement. In fact, draining Hetch Hetchy
would be an environmental and economic dis-
aster for the Bay Area, sticking San Francisco
taxpayers with a multibillion-dollar price tag.
U.S. Rep. Lungren, R-Gold River, is seeking
re-election this November against a
Democratic opponent with a history of envi-
ronmental activism who has gotten the
endorsement of the Sierra Club.
Last year, Lungren asked the U.S.
Department of the Interior in a letter to inves-
tigate the city for alleged violations of the
Raker Act, the law that authorized constructing
the dam in 1913.
Although the Raker Act requires the city to
nd and tap other water resources before
exporting water from the Sierra, San Francisco
does not practice water recycling or draw
water from wells, Lungren wrote in the letter.
Restore Hetch Hetchy, however, wants to
make it clear that this Novembers ballot meas-
ure does not clear the way for draining the val-
ley.
The measure would push the city to recycle
more water and nd additional water supplies,
including in San Francisco, Rosekrans told the
Daily Journal.
After that, he said, the goal would be to
restore the Hetch Hetchy Valley to its original
state.
San Franciscos mayor, however, said the
goal of this Novembers initiative is to ulti-
mately drain the reservoir.
Dont be fooled. Camouaged in the peti-
tions language is the real goal of this measure:
to drain the Bay Areas largest and most
important source of drinking water and clean
energy the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, Lee
wrote in a statement.
In 1913, San Francisco won congressional
approval to build the OShaughnessy Dam,
which buried the valley under 300 feet of
water. The project was opposed by famed envi-
ronmentalist John Muir at the time, who
founded the Sierra Club in 1892 in San
Francisco.
Hetch Hetchy water travels 160 miles via
gravity from Yosemite to the Bay Area. The
remaining 15 percent of water comes from
runoff in the Alameda and Peninsula water-
sheds. The reservoir holds about 117 billion
gallons of water.
The Water Conservation and Yosemite
Restoration Initiative is on the Nov. 6 ballot
and will be decided by voters in San Francisco
County.

Gifts Interior Design
By Lee Reich
As it does every year, a powdery white
dusting is beginning to appear on the
leaves of my lilac bush.
Ah, if only this coloration were desir-
able, if we could affectionately refer to it
as a silvery ecking or a sparkling sheen.
But no, its dull white and its a sign of
disease, one aptly called powdery
mildew.
Your lilac is also probably getting
powdery mildew. And if you dont grow
lilac, you may have mildew developing
on the leaves of your cucumber, rose,
peony or phlox.
You might worry that all that powdery
mildew will spread from one plant to
another all over your garden. But fear
not: A few different kinds of fungi cause
powdery mildew, and the one that
attacks lilac bushes wont attack every
other plant surely not your cucumber
or rose plants. Unfortunately, that lilac
powder mildew fungus can attack catal-
pa, dogwood and some other trees. The
same goes for the fungus that turns zin-
nia leaves white with powdery mildew;
it also preys on a slew of other garden
owers. Each of the powdery mildews
attacks a restricted group of plants.
KNOW YOUR ENEMY
Powdery mildew, like other common
names of plant diseases, describes a
symptom. Other descriptive common
names for diseases are scab, leaf spot
and brown rot. Anthracnose describes
a symptom not obvious from its name;
plants aficted with anthracnose have
dead areas in leaves.
Diseases having the same descriptive
name are not necessarily all caused by
the same germs, or even by germs
related to each other. Blight of pear, for
example, is caused by a bacterium,
while blight of peony is caused by a fun-
gus. The term blight is generally used
for any disease that causes a plant or
plant part to die suddenly.
Descriptive names for plant diseases
can get more specic. Fire blight is the
blight attacking pear, so-named because
blackened leaves cling to the curled-
over stems as if they have been singed.
The peony afiction is called botrytis
blight, botrytis meaning grapelike and
referring to the grapelike clusters of
fungal spores as seen under magnica-
tion.
LOOK CLOSELY
The common name of a disease is the
rst step towards nding the culprits
true name. I dont fear that lilac will
spread blight whoops, I mean pow-
dery mildew to nearby phlox or
peony because lilacs disease is caused
by the fungus Microsphaera alni, while
phloxs is caused by the fungus
Erysiphe cichoracearum, and peonys
powdery mildew is caused by Erysiphe
polygoni.
In some cases, the common name may
be all thats needed to nd out how to
help a plant. Westcotts Plant Disease
Handbook by R. Kenneth Horst is a
good reference to nding both the Latin
name and the cure for just about any dis-
ease that might turn up in your garden.
The Organic Gardeners Handbook of
Natural Pest and Disease Control, by
Fern Marshall Bradley, Barbara W. Ellis
and Deborah L. Martin, presents a more
organic approach to weeds, with less
emphasis on nomenclature.
Figuring out what a disease is called
makes for better gardening because it
forces a close look at just whats going
on. Next time something seems amiss
with a plant, note rst what part or parts
are affected. Then characterize the
symptoms with such descriptive terms
as rust, rot, dieback, canker or leaf spot.
ONCE NAMED, WHAT TO DO?
Closer inspection brings on more
descriptive names brown rot or black
rot, for example or scientic names.
Look at those ugly spots on your toma-
to plants leaves: Alternaria solani
marks leaves with dark-brown, round
spots a half-inch in diameter, each sur-
rounded by concentric rings. Septoria
lycopsersici causes spots that are small,
round and gray, each surrounded by a
single, dark margin. The cure for both is
the same: crop rotation and thorough
garden cleanup in the fall.
Not all diseases need attention; pow-
dery mildew does lilac little harm. And
those that require attention, such as leaf
spots of tomato, can be controlled by
methods other than spraying.
When spraying is needed for a partic-
ular disease, it might be something as
benign as baking soda, 1 tablespoon
added to a gallon of water along with 2
1/2 tablespoons of cooking oil.
Name your disease, for better gardening
Not all diseases need attention; powdery mildew does lilac
little harm.

medication at the state mental facility.
A recent doctors report concluded Ayres
has been malingering. The term means he is
exaggerating or outright faking the
Alzheimers-related dementia for which he
was committed by using his medical expert-
ise. The report is currently sealed by the court
but attorneys on both sides during the last
hearing hinted that it includes incidents
reported by hospital nurses and doctors that
indicate he is mentally competent and alleged
comments or observations by his own attor-
ney. McDougall has said he will personally
take the stand to discount those statements.
If Ayres is again found incompetent for trial,
he will be transferred back to Napa State
Hospital. If instead Grandsaert rules Ayres
competent, the once-renowned former doctor
will be retried on several counts of child
molestation between 1988 and 1996.
Ayres practice included private clients and
referrals from both the juvenile justice system
and school districts. He also became widely
known as president of the American Academy
of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and for
hosting the sex education series Time of Your
Life. Ayres received juvenile court referrals
up through 2004.
San Mateo police rst began looking at
Ayres in 2002 after a former patient accused
him of molestation during the 1970s when he
was 13. After a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on
the statute of limitations nixed criminal pros-
ecution, the victim and Ayres reached a con-
dential settlement in July 2005. In a deposi-
tion for the lawsuit, Ayres reportedly admitted
conducting physical exams of patients as part
of his care.
He was arrested in 2007 and tried in 2009
for allegedly abusing six former male patients
when they were 9 to 13 years old. The jury
hung in varying amounts on every count.
Before Ayres was retried, McDougall, his
newly appointed attorney, questioned his
mental tness. A jury in the competency trial
deadlocked and the prosecution agreed to
allow Ayres hospitalization rather than launch
another trial. He entered the hospital in
October and, after a mandatory 90-day evalu-
ation period, McDougall began seeking his
release to a facility closer to his Peninsula
home.
In asking that Ayres be denied bail,
McKowan implied his release could delay a
second criminal trial because he allegedly
and apparently avoided timely prosecution
previously by being out of custody. The pub-
lic and victims also have a right to due
process, she said, although McDougall said it
is not the same.
Theyre not sitting there with their free-
doms deprived, McDougall said.

linate. To attract them, rst cut way back or
eliminate the use of pesticides. They kill the
helpful insects as well as the harmful ones.
Many pests, such as aphids, can be con-
trolled simply by blasting them off the plant
with a stream of water from the hose. Often,
if you do nothing and wait, benecial insects
will arrive to polish off the pests. I some-
times relocate ladybugs I nd in my yard to a
plant loaded with aphids. As I release her
onto the plant, I say, Lunchtime!
Speaking of our friend, the ladybug: its lar-
vae also love aphids. Ladybug larvae are
black with orange spots, and have long bod-
ies that look like tiny alligators.
Other larvae of benecial insects that feast
on aphids are those of the lacewing (they
also look like little alligators, but are pale in
color) and of the syrphid y.
Of course, many insects are pollinators:
bees, butteries, moths and certain wasps
and ies.
Besides reducing or eliminating the use of
pesticides, you can build the population of
good bugs by adding plants that they love.
Benecials like many herbs, including basil,
chives, cilantro, dill, lavender, marjoram,
oregano, rosemary, sage and thyme. They
also like many owering plants, such as
alyssum, buckwheat, coneower, coreopsis,
cosmos, echinacea, forget-me-not, marigold,
poppy, rudbeckia, pincushion, sunower,
yarrow and zinnia.
Provide sustenance, protection and
an appealing home, and help will flock
to your garden.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 2012
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Normally, youre a very cau-
tious person, but today you might step out of charac-
ter and take some risks. Remember, there is usually
a pretty good reason why the odds are lopsided.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- In your desire to have
everything wrapped up, you might deem incomplete
endeavors fnished work. Kidding yourself could stop
you from pushing harder when you need to do your
best.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If your logic and intuition
are in confict, to be on the safe side go with reality
instead of your hunches. At least that way youll
know youre not dealing with supposition.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You could be setting
yourself up for disappointment if youre nice to
people only in hopes that theyll be nice to you in
return. If your motives are insincere, folks will see
right through you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your judgment
is questionable right now, making it possible that
youll try to reward the undeserving in order to get
something from them that theyre reluctant to part
with. Dont do it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone who be-
lieves youre untrustworthy might test you. Itll be up
to you to make sure that you dont discuss anything
told to you in confdence.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- An associate might
come to you with a proposition that sounds excep-
tionally good at frst hearing. It behooves you to listen
and question it a to make sure it isnt exaggerated.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Objectives that arent
normally too diffcult to achieve might be extremely
elusive, all because those who are usually supportive
may now be more hindrance than help.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Youll think much better
of yourself if you dont allow what pleases you to
take precedence over your responsibilities and du-
ties. Do what is expected of you frst.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your greatest problems
are likely to come not from adversaries but from
those whom youre trying to help. Grin and bear it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Operating indepen-
dently of others might be one of the smartest things
youll do, especially if a prospective counterpart is as
strong-willed as you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Dont try to push your
luck beyond its limitations, because your chance for
material gain is only nominal. If you do go too far,
things could crumble like an off-brand cookie.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
William Dwight Nesbit
Case Number 122569
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: William Dwight Nesbit,
aka Bill Nesbit. A Petition for Probate
has been filed by Marguerite Nesbit in
the Superior Court of California, County
of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate
requests that Marguerite Nesbit be ap-
pointed as personal representative to ad-
minister the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This
athourity will allow the personal repre-
sentative to take many actions without
obtaining court approval. Before taking
certain very important actions, however,
the personal representative will be re-
quired to give notice to interested per-
sons unless they have waived notice or
consented to the proposed action.) The
independent administration authority will
be granted unless an interested person
files an objection to the petition and
shows good cause why the court should
not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: August 31, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, 1st Floor, Redwood City,
CA 94063. If you object to the granting
of the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
