Fighting for victims

Rather than moving forward with
a $130 million bond to help manage
student overcrowding, the San
Mateo-Foster City Elementary
School District Board of Trustees
decided to postpone the measure to
better communicate its goals with
the public.
I think theres still work to be
done, said Superintendent Cyndy
Simms. And, it would probably be
a little disappointing to put this off
for a year until the following
November. But I would rather have
the community understand the
needs before something goes on
the ballot.
The vote came one week after
SCORE, also known as the
Superintendents Committee on
Overcrowding Relief, shared its rec-
ommendation with the board to
eliminate school overcrowding in
Foster City by replacing Bowditch
Middle School and moving fifth

The seizure-prone driver who
fatally slammed into a car carrying
two men on their way to a baptism
celebration knew he was a danger
on the road but insisted on driving
without a license and caused seven
crashes in the last decade, according
to prosecutors who charged him
with two counts
of murder.
Pr os ecut or s
say Rodney
Corsiglia, 49, is
guilty of second-
degree murder
because he is not
ignorant of his
medical condi-
tion, deliberate-
ly drove despite a permanently sus-
pended license, had a long accident
history and possessed the painkiller
Oxycodone at the time of the July
28 San Bruno crash.
The evidence led us to charge
him with murder. It was not a com-
plicated decision, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Corsiglia appeared in court yes-
terday afternoon but put off pleas to
those charges along with two counts
of gross vehicular manslaughter
with intoxication, one count of
felony drunk driving and a misde-
meanor charge of driving on a sus-
pended license. He returns to court
Aug. 22 to indicate if he can retain
attorney Paula Canny and remains
in custody without bail.
Canny could not be reached for
comment.
Corsiglia, a retired custodian
from San Bruno, was driving east
on Sneath Lane at approximately
12:15 p.m. when he reportedly
crashed into several other eastbound
cars halted at a stoplight at El
Camino Real. The two who died,
cousins Arnulfo Picazo, 39, of San
Bruno, and Usbaldo Picazo Gomez,

SACRAMENTO Lawmakers
called Thursday for greater over-
sight of state accounts after express-
ing outrage over revelations that
state park ofcials hid money.
Assembly members used an over-
sight hearing as an opportunity to
blast state agencies and the gover-
nors Department of Finance for
accounting practices that led to hun-
dreds of millions of dollars in dis-
crepancies in hundreds of special
funds.
The hearing is the latest fallout
from the attempt by some state

Road crew paints yellow
line over dead raccoon
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. The squirrel-
ly configuration of a western
Pennsylvania road helped cause a state
road crew to paint a double-yellow line
over a dead raccoon.
Motorcyclist Sean McAfee snapped
a photo of the mistake before it could
be cleaned up and submitted it to the
Tribune-Democrat of Johnstown.
He says he almost crashed, he was
laughing so hard.
PennDOT spokesman John
Ambrosini says paint crews usually
have a foreman on the job who clears
away any dead animals before the
paint-spraying truck equipment passes
by. This crew didnt have a foreman
and the equipment was too big to turn
around in traffic, remove the animal
and repair the paint. He says the the
squirrelly geometry of the narrow
road didnt help.
But the crew did try to stop the paint
gun.
D.C. man orders TV,
gets assault rifle instead
WASHINGTON A Washington
musician who ordered a flat-screen TV
from Amazon.com was shocked to
receive a semiautomatic assault rifle
instead.
Thirty-eight-year-old Seth Horvitz
says he purchased the 39-inch televi-
sion from a third-party seller. A box
arrived from UPS on Tuesday evening,
and it seemed too small to contain the
TV. He says he initially thought it con-
tained accessories.
But when he opened it, he found a
Sig Sauer military-style rifle. He says
he had never held a gun before he felt
the trigger of the rifle.
An invoice showed that the gun was
intended for delivery to a firearms
dealer in Duncansville, Pa. Horvitz
called police, who took the gun and are
investigating how the mistaken ship-
ment occurred. Amazon and UPS had
no immediate comment.
Glasses look to keep
Israeli women out of sight
JERUSALEM Its the latest
prescription for extreme ultra-
Orthodox Jewish men who shun
contact with the opposite sex:
Glasses that blur their vision, so
they dont have to see women they
consider to be immodestly dressed.
In an effort to maintain their strictly
devout lifestyle, the ultra-Orthodox
have separated the sexes on buses,
sidewalks and other public spaces in
their neighborhoods. Their interpreta-
tion of Jewish law forbids contact
between men and women who are not
married.
Walls in their neighborhoods feature
signs exhorting women to wear closed-
necked, long-sleeved blouses and long
skirts. Extremists have accosted
women they consider to have flouted
the code.
Now theyre trying to keep them out
of clear sight altogether.
The ultra-Orthodox communitys
unofficial modesty patrols are selling
glasses with special blur-inducing
stickers on their lenses. The glasses
provide clear vision for up to a few
meters so as not to impede movement,
but anything beyond that gets blurry
including women. Its not known how
many have been sold.
For men forced to venture outside
their insular communities, hoods and
shields that block peripheral vision are
also being offered.
The glasses are going for the mod-
est price of $6.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
An 18-year-old Redwood City woman
accused of slipping into an ex-boyfriends
home and torching his bed while he slept
because she thought he was unfaithful may be
mentally unt to stand trial for attempted mur-
der and arson, according to her defense attor-
ney.
On Tuesday, the attorney for Jacqueline
Alexandra Rivera questioned her competency
and yesterday a judge appointed two doctors
to determine if she really is unable to aid in
her own defense. Those reports are due back
Sept. 21.
Competency is a persons mental ability for
trial while sanity is his or her condition at the
time of an alleged crime. If found incompe-
tent, Rivera will be committed to a state hos-
pital for treatment until
doctors believe her
restored.
Rivera has pleaded not
guilty to the April 26 inci-
dent that left her 21-year-
old former boyfriend with
minor burns on his arms
and hands that required
hospital treatment. She is
also charged with residen-
tial burglary and was pre-
viously scheduled for a preliminary hearing in
October. She faces between 10 and 15 years in
prison if convicted.
According to authorities, around 3 a.m. that
morning, Rivera knocked on the rst-oor
bedroom window of the San Mateo home
where he lived with his parents and sister. She
reportedly asked to talk about their relation-
ship, was denied and returned with the same
request an hour later. After she left the second
time, the man went to bed but told authorities
he awoke around 5:45 a.m. to nd his mattress
on re. He screamed for his father who put out
the ames with a garden hose. The victim
later told authorities he did not immediately
alert police or reghters because he believed
Rivera was responsible but didnt think he
could prove it.
Two weeks later, the man said he received a
text message from a woman, later identied as
Riveras friend, who told him the defendant
was responsible for the re and had made sev-
eral comments about plans to hurt him. At that
point, the man contacted authorities and
Rivera was arrested May 7.
She is in custody in lieu of $500,000 bail.

Police are looking for an armed man who
allegedly robbed three different businesses in
three days this week in Redwood City and the
North Fair Oaks area, according to the San
Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic male
in his 20s or 30s, approximately 5 feet 10
inches tall, with a thin build and short dark
hair. The suspect was armed with a dark semi-
automatic pistol and an undisclosed amount of
cash was taken in all three robberies, accord-
ing to the Sheriffs Ofce.
The first robbery
occurred at Willow
Market, 37 Willow St. in
Redwood City Tuesday
at about 7:45 p.m. The
second one occurred
Wednesday afternoon at
about 3:34 p.m. at
Panaderia Michoacan
Market. The third rob-
bery occurred yesterday
at 1:03 p.m. at El Paisano Carniceria
Market, 2856 Middlefield Road, according
to the Sheriffs Office.
Wednesday, police blocked off Middleeld
Road near Fifth Avenue for about an hour as
they searched for the suspect. On Thursday,
the suspect robbed a carniceria just a few
blocks from Wednesdays robbery.
Any person who may have witnessed any of
the robberies or has information about this
suspect, is asked to contact Detective Andy
Armando at (650) 363-4347 or via email at
aarmando@smcgov.org. You may also contact

SACRAMENTO California could dou-
ble nes on manufacturers who use dangerous
chemicals in nail polishes labeled as nontox-
ic.
Sen. Leland Yee, a Democrat from San
Francisco, says his bill responds to a few bad
actors that misbrand their cosmetics.
SB977 would double penalties from $3,800
to $7,600 for manufacturers who fail to prop-
erly label their ingredients.
The bill responds to a state report that
found some polishes advertised as free of
three of the most common toxic chemicals
actually contained one or more of them,
including formaldehyde.
Regulators say the mislabeled nail products
could harm thousands of workers and their
customers in more than 48,000 California nail
salons. They say the chemicals have been
linked to birth defects.
Senators approved the bill 35-0 on
Thursday. It now moves to the Assembly.

A 56-year-old Burlingame man will stand
trial on domestic violence and assault charges
after allegedly strangling his live-in girlfriend
into unconsciousness and smashing her cell-
phone with a re extinguisher when she tried
calling 911.
Kurt Heiner pleaded not guilty to all charges
but was held to answer after a day-long pre-
liminary hearing in which the alleged victim
testied. He is charged with assault with a
deadly weapon, domestic violence, battery,
dissuading a witness by force, making crimi-
nal threats and inicting great bodily injury.
Prosecutors say Heiner attacked his girl-
friend of six years April 13 after the woman
returned home from an out-of-country trip and
discovered some of her personal items missing
from a locked safety box.
When she threatened to
contact authorities, Heiner
allegedly said he had a gun
and would kill her. As she
dialed 911, he grabbed the
phone and strangled her
into unconsciousness
before smashing the phone
with a fire extinguisher,
according to the District
Attorneys Ofce. When the woman came to,
she ed the home in her underwear and a
Good Samaritan called Burlingame police.
Heiner is free from custody on $175,000
bail. He returns to court Aug. 23 to enter a
Superior Court plea and possible set a trial
date.

SACRAMENTO A year after San
Franciscos transit agency touched off a glob-
al free speech debate by jamming cellphones
to block a protest, lawmakers are taking steps
to pre-empt a similar scandal.
On Thursday, the state Assembly approved a
bill that would prohibit agencies from disrupt-
ing cellphone service without probable cause
and a court order.
Open and available communication net-
works are critical to public safety and a key
element of a free and open society, Sen. Alex
Padilla, who wrote the bill, said in a statement.
The Los Angeles Democrat cited 911 access
as a key concern.
Ofcials with the Bay Area Rapid Transit
system came under re last year when the
agency cut subterranean cellphone and wire-
less data service in San Francisco subway sta-
tions to disrupt a planned protest. The move
sparked even larger protests and had critics
around the country comparing the agency to a
Middle Eastern dictatorship.
Assembly members condemned the BART
decision on Thursday and expressed hope the
SB 1160 would serve as a wakeup call to other
agencies considering jamming cellphones.
The dysfunction of the BART system is
well known in my area, said Assemblyman
Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco.
Ammiano called last years cellphone jam-
ming undemocratic and said the agency has
a history of reacting inappropriately by even
the most mild and benign civil actions by the
populace.
BART did not immediately respond to
requests for comment. Following last years
incident, the agency adopted a policy that per-
mits cellphone jamming without court review
if ofcials believe a service disruptions or ille-
gal action is imminent.

Lawyers: Colorado
shooting suspect is mentally ill
CENTENNIAL, Colo. Attorneys for the
suspect in the Colorado movie theater shootings
said Thursday their client is
mentally ill and that they
need more time to assess
the nature of his illness.
James Holmes lawyers
made the disclosure at a
court hearing in suburban
Denver where news media
organizations asked a judge
to unseal documents in the
case.
Holmes, a 24-year-old
former Ph.D. student at the University of
Colorado, Denver, had the familiar, dazed
demeanor that he had in previous court appear-
ances.
Holmes is accused of going on a July 20
shooting rampage at a midnight showing of the
latest Batman movie in Aurora, killing 12 peo-
ple and injuring 58 others.
NASAs green
planetary test lander crashes
WASHINGTON Earlier this week NASA
safely landed a robotic rover on Mars about 150
million miles away. But on Thursday here on
Earth, a test model planetary lander crashed and
burned at Kennedy Space Center in Florida just
seconds after liftoff.
The spider-like spacecraft called Morpheus
was on a test ight at Cape Canaveral when it
tilted, crashed to the ground and erupted in
ames. It got only a few feet up in the air,
NASA said.
NASA spokeswoman Lisa Malone said it
appears that the methane-and-liquid oxygen
powered lander is a total loss.

WASHINGTON The outlook for the
U.S. economy brightened a little Thursday
after new data pointed to improvement in hir-
ing and greater exports.
The number of Americans applying for
unemployment benefits last week fell by
6,000 to a seasonally adjusted 361,000, the
Labor Department said. Economists noted
that the level suggests the modest job creation
in July could carry over into August.
The U.S. trade decit narrowed to $42.9 bil-
lion in June from $48 billion in May, the
Commerce Department said in a separate
report. Thats the lowest level in 18 months.
The drop was largely because of cheaper oil
imports. But exports also rose to a record-high
$185 billion, an encouraging sign at a time
when global growth has slowed. U.S. compa-
nies even sold more goods in Europe, despite
the regions ongoing nancial crisis.
Some economists revised their growth fore-
casts higher for the April-June quarter after
seeing the better trade data. A smaller trade
decit acts as less of a drag on growth because
it means the United States is spending less on
foreign-made products and is taking in more
from sales of U.S.-made goods.
As long as we can keep selling more of our
goods across the world, the economy can
(grow) at a moderate pace, said Joel Naroff
of Naroff Economic Advisors. In June,
despite all the craziness in Europe and the
slowdowns in Asia, our exports managed to
increase.
The economy is looking more resilient after
faltering in the spring.
Employers added 163,000 jobs in July, the
biggest increase since February. From April
through June, employers had created a lack-
luster 73,000 jobs a month, not enough to
keep up with a rising population.
Applications for unemployment benefits
measure the pace of layoffs. When they fall
consistently below 375,000, it typically sug-
gests hiring is strong enough to lower the
unemployment rate.
Claims had averaged 385,000 a week in

SAN DIEGO Californias attorney gen-
eral has sued a major veterans charity on alle-
gations that its directors misused millions of
dollars in private donations for hefty pensions
and other perks, including more than $80,000
in golf memberships for its board members.
Help Hospitalized Veterans of Winchester
ranks among the nations top 1 percent of
charities for the amount of money it reports
raising annually. Prosecutors say the group
whose primary mission is to provide home-
bound and hospitalized veterans with arts and
crafts kits has reported more than $436
million in revenue since 2001.
At the same time, it has ranked for more
than a decade at the bottom of lists by charity
watchdog groups that rate nonprot organiza-
tions based on their sound nancial manage-
ment and their abilities to use most of their
donations toward their causes. CharityWatch
says only about 35 percent of Help
Hospitalized Veterans funds go toward pro-
grams to aid veterans, when 65 percent is the
industry standard.
According to the complaint led by the
attorney generals ofce in Riverside County
Superior Court, Help Hospitalized Veterans
founder and former president Roger Chapin
retired in 2009 with a nearly $2 million pen-
sion plan after the groups board retroactively
spiked his earnings to justify the inated
amount. He stepped down a year after being
questioned about his nancial practices at a
congressional hearing.
Meanwhile, the organization continued to
raise millions. Its annual revenue for 2011, the
most recent gure available, was $41 million,
including $30 million in cash donations.

Obituaries
By Connie Cass
WASHINGTON Who gets thumped by
higher taxes in President Barack Obamas
health care law? The wealthiest 2 percent of
Americans will take the biggest hit, starting
next year. And the pain will be shared by
some who arent so well off people swept
up in a hodgepodge of smaller tax changes
that will help finance health coverage for
millions in need.
For the vast majority of people, however,
the health care law wont mean sending
more money to the IRS.
And roughly 20 million people eventually
will benefit from tax credits that start in
2014 to help them pay insurance premiums.
The tax increases plus a mandate that
nearly everyone have health coverage are
helping make the law an election-year
scorcher. Obama is campaigning on the ben-
efits for the uninsured, women and young
adults. His rival, Mitt Romney, and
Republican lawmakers are vowing to repeal
Obamacare, saying some health care
reforms are needed but not at this cost.
Lots of the noise is about the financial
consequences for people who decline to get
coverage and businesses
that dont offer their
workers an adequate
health plan. Some 4 mil-
lion individuals without
insurance are expected to
pay about $55 billion
over eight years, accord-
ing to the Congressional
Budget Offices esti-
mates. Employers could
be dinged an estimated $106 billion for fail-
ing to meet the mandate, which starts in
2014.
But that mandate money, whether its
called taxes or penalties, is overwhelmed by
other taxes, fees and shrunken tax breaks in
the law. These other levies could top $675
billion over the next 10 years, under the
CBOs projections of how much revenue the
government would lose if the law were
repealed.
The biggest chunk is in new taxes on the
nations top 2 percent of earners some
$318 billion over a decade.
Other major taxes are aimed at the health
care industry, and some of that cost is sure
to be passed along to consumers as higher
prices.
Health care laws tax hikes
are coming: Whos paying?

ATTORNEYS AND BARRISTERS
IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE OUR NEW LAWYERS
By Julie Pace and David Espo
PUEBLO, Colo. Mitt Romney and
President Barack Obama both deplored the
pervasive presence of televised attack ads in
the race for the White House on Thursday,
though neither acknowledged being helped as
well as harmed. Each blamed his foe.
Romney went rst, saying of the presidents
campaign, They just blast ahead with ads
that have been judged false by independent
fact checkers.
I dont know whatever happened to a cam-
paign of hope and change, he said, a mock-
ing reference to the spirit of optimism that
Obama evoked during his successful run for
the White House in 2008.
Obama ignored the slap. He told an audi-
ence in Colorado that over the next three
months, you will see more negative ads, and
he suggested the blame lies with outside
groups backing his rival.
I mean, these super PACs, these guys are
writing $10 million checks and giving them to
Mr. Romneys supporters, he said.
Obama spoke as his own campaign
unleashed yet another in the attack ad catego-
ry, this one questioning whether there was
ever a year in which Romney paid no federal
taxes. We dont know, the announcer says,
then quickly adds that Romney once person-
ally approved over $70 million in ctional
losses to the IRS as part of ... one of the
largest tax avoidance schemes in history.
Romney broached the subject two days
after the release of a searing ad in which a for-
mer steelworker appears to suggest that he
and Bain Capital, the private equity rm he
owned, might bear some responsibility for the
mans wifes death from cancer. The ad is the
work of Priorities USA Action, a group that
supports Obama, and it has been judged inac-
curate by independent fact checkers and
attacked vociferously by aides to the GOP
presidential challenger.
Romney, Obama bemoan attack ads
By Dan Sewell and Brian Bakst
CINCINNATI President Barack
Obama and his Democratic allies arent
waiting for Republican Mitt Romney to
reveal his vice presidential choice. Theyre
already trying to scuff up those considered
by political insiders to be most likely to join
the GOP ticket.
The presidents campaign started swing-
ing at the potential Republican running
mates this week while urging home-state
Democrats to chime in about the shortcom-
ings that as emails to donors and support-
ers put it Americans need to know. The
pre-emptive strikes are an effort to dene a
possible No. 2 in a negative light and reect
a sense that time is precious to sway opinion
in a stubbornly close presidential race dash-
ing quickly toward November.
Tim Pawlenty? The former Minnesota
governor is a fee-raiser whose record is
painful for the middle-class families who
lived under his leadership, the Obama cam-
paign argues.

WASHINGTON Livestock farmers and
ranchers seeing their feed costs rise because of
the worst drought in a quarter-century are
demanding that the Environmental Protection
Agency waive production requirements for
corn-based ethanol.
One-third of House members have also
signed onto a letter urging EPA Administrator
Lisa Jackson to relax ethanol production tar-
gets in light of corn supply concerns and spik-
ing prices.
The EPA says it is working with the
Agriculture Department and is keeping a close
eye on crop estimates and how they might
relate to the biofuel program.

T
he San Francisco Airport
Marriott Waterfront Hotel in
Burlingame welcomed its newest
and most unconventional hotel guests, six
baby barn owls. The owls nested on the
11th concierge oor balcony and the
Peninsula Humane Society conrmed that
the owls are in fact barn owls and are pro-
tected native birds of prey.
In honor of their most loyal customers
going on six weeks, the hotel has started
giving out stuffed animal owls to children
staying at the hotel when they pay the birds
a site visit.
While the babies are frequented by their
mother and father, the parents have been
residing in a different offsite location. The
PHS said barn owls are likely to nest in the
same location each year if safe, so the SFO
Waterfront Marriott will most likely have
repeat customers.
The family of barn owls continues to do
well and the management has even started
joking about naming the baby owls: Hoot,
Nanny, Al, Peter Townsend, Robert Plant,
Hedwig and Archimedes.

Sarabjit Sonny Chadha has been
named the postmaster of Burlingame,
replacing Mary Maldonado who recently
retired.
Chadha began his U.S. Postal Service
career in 1991 as a letter carrier in
Hayward. After being promoted to the ranks
of management, he held several positions of
increasing responsibility, most recently as
the manager of customer services in
Burlingame.
Chadha is responsible for nearly 28,000
deliveries. With 117 employees, he serves
67 carrier routes and 1,155 P.O. boxes. The
Burlingame Post Ofce was established in
1894 and Chadha is the 14th postmaster to
serve the community.

A report earlier this week that attendance
at the San Mateo County Fair was up 30
percent over the previous year for a two-
year average that broke records was slightly
off. The attendance at the opening Disaster
Preparedness Day hit the 30 percent
increase mark; overall fair attendance was
actually roughly down about 18 percent,
said Chris Carpenter, general manager of
the San Mateo Event Center.
Regardless, the numbers were so high the
previous year the two-year average denite-
ly broke the record, he said.
Carpenter said organizers are already
planning next years fair and said they are
looking at a few surprises. Everything is
still a work in progress but hes thinking its
time to break a Guiness World Record as
was done at the Alameda County Fair
with the largest hamburger or the
California State Fair with the largest mar-
garita.

City considers sharing
police with neighbor
Sharing stafng, evidence processing or even
K-9 units with other police departments could
save the city of San Carlos up to $50,000 annu-
ally, according to a report up for discussion by
the City Council the week of Aug. 10, 2007.
But shifting all evidence processing and stor-
age to the Belmont Police Department could
cost the city approximately $12,000, the same
report noted.
Such discrepancies in service and cost
options under consideration by the San Carlos
City Council that week. The city brainstormed
the idea of resource sharing during its February
2007 planning retreat.
Sparks fly at charter school meeting
Tensions were high and frustration was evi-
dent the week of Aug. 10, 2007 as the Sequoia
Union High School District and Summit
Preparatory High School ofcials attempted to
create a contract allowing the school to move
out of portables on James Avenue and into a
permanent building at 890 Broadway for the
upcoming school year just weeks away
from starting.
In the end, a contract was approved 4-1 as
long as Summits board approved it by the fol-
lowing week. The struggle came when both
sides realized without an agreement the school
would have no clear idea or contract for a
building to be used in the upcoming school
year.

edition of the Daily Journal.
OPINION 9
A
s more veterans return from
years-long wars in the
Middle East, there is
increasing attention on their transition
to civilian life. The economy has not
been kind to many of us, and it is
equally unkind to veterans looking for
ways to transfer their skills to the
average workplace. It seems scanning
for explosives and ensuring the safety
of civilians does not always immedi-
ately translate into desk jobs. And
thats too bad. The men and women
of our military have a variety of orga-
nizational skills and work ethic that
would add value to any workplace.
But for more and more veterans, there
are few work options. Add in physical
and psychological ailments, and the
challenge becomes more severe.
The trouble with identifying specif-
ic ways to provide assistance is that
many former service members are not
ones to speak of their challenges. It is
not in their nature. Still, it is para-
mount that we offer support in what-
ever way possible.
In addition, new discoveries about
post traumatic stress disorder are
revealing that many older veterans
have been facing their own difficul-
ties for years, often silently. This is
leading to a backlog of claims for
various conditions and the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs local
office is facing a 36 increase in
Vietnam veterans first-time claims
alone. In May, U.S. Rep. Jackie
Speier, D-San Mateo, and U.S. Rep.
Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, held a VA
Fix-It meeting in San Francisco
with more than 250 participants. Even
with the congressional assistance, a
backlog of claims exists and may
continue because of staffing and
issues with records keeping.
With the recent influx of recently
returning veterans and additional
claims by older veterans, the backlog
is understandable yet still frustrating.
As the Daily Journals Sally Schilling
reported Aug. 3, South San
Franciscos Jake Ventrello is a suc-
cess story in that he recently received
100 percent disability compensation
and back pay for conditions he devel-
oped because of his service in World
War II. But his is just one story.
There are countless others with vary-
ing degree of success.
We commend both Lee and Speier
for taking on this issue and offering
their assistance. But even members of
Congress can run into resistance
when it comes to a large-scale
bureaucracy such as the VA.
Continuing the pressure and attention
is yielding results and we hope that
pressure will continue. Knowing
Speier, it will.
The men and women who served in
our armed forces deserve better than
to get the bureaucratic runaround
once they return stateside. The May
meeting should be seen as a critical
first step in bringing awareness of this
issue and we trust there will be more
focused attention on providing an eas-
ier process for our veterans to get the
assistance they need. Last week,
Speier introduced legislation that
would allow for the most basic of
nutrition assistance to veterans who
still have disability claims pending.
Current law requires veterans to wait
until their claims have been
processed. It may seem like a small
fix, but every bit counts. It is legisla-
tion that deserves support and atten-
tion just as the backlog of claims
deserves immediate attention. Waiting
nearly a year for a benefits decision is
too long. Many of the older veterans
simply dont have time to wait, and
many of the younger veterans simply
should not have to.
Getting veterans the help they need
Outer limits?
I
first wrote this column in 2003 and am repeating it
because, with a few title changes, it is as relevant
as ever.
Ours is a culture careening out of control, with violence
everywhere we turn. Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, Stop
Teaching Our Kids to Kill.
New movie out! Kill Bill
Volume 1. From all reports it
has reached a new high in gratu-
itous violence, gore and mayhem.
Quentin Tarantino seems like a
textbook case of arrested devel-
opment who gets his jollies from
wallowing in depravity. Like a
spoiled child, he seems to be
testing us to see how far he can
go.
There is no justification for
movies like Kill Bill and video
games like Grand Theft Auto and Postal for chil-
dren or adults. Isnt it way past time when those responsi-
ble for such extremely outrageous movies and video games,
etc. are regarded as what they really are pathetic speci-
mens of humanity who should be practicing their freedom
of expression on a psychiatrists couch? Their products are
a threat to the mental health of not only our youth, but also
many adults.
A while back, the American Academy of Pediatrics and
the American Psychological Association and other con-
cerned groups signed a joint statement of concern, saying
in part that research strongly suggests prolonged viewing
of media violence can lead to emotional desensitivity
toward violence in real life. More recently, in writing of
deplorable video games, Martha Barnette, in her article,
Point, Click ... and Kill reports: The violence in such
games has become so ferocious and vivid that researchers
who study the effects of media on kids are becoming
increasingly alarmed about how young minds are being
affected. She added that critics say that such games stunt a
childs capacity for empathy and at worst may lead to real-
life tragedies.
In between, there have been many other reports of the
negative effects of such garbage on our youth including this
chilling observation by Grossman: Screen violence is now
used primarily to invite the viewer to enjoy the feel of
killing, beating, mutilating ... . Our children get nothing out
of it except the message that violence is OK, even fun.
So where is the outrage from religious and youth advoca-
cy groups, feminists, parents and other thinking and feeling
people? Instead of tiptoeing around the issue for at least 30
years, why hasnt some real progress been made in curbing
such media trash? Arent the welfare of our children and
the moral fabric of our nation far more important than the
swill produced by demented and greedy opportunists?
The creators of unsavory media hide behind the First
Amendment, claiming they have a right to produce and dis-
tribute such flagrant swill. But does anyone really believe
that our Founding Fathers, in their efforts to guarantee free
speech, would not be horrified upon seeing the entertain-
ment in question? As Maxine Schnall wrote in Limits:
We must break our silence of those moral truths that have
not been eroded by time or social change. However unsure
we are of how to meld them with the particular circum-
stances of contemporary life, we must still speak out for
the major human values embedded in our collective con-
science throughout history: honesty, responsibility, decen-
cy.
If we arent repulsed, sickened and moved to action by
the prevalence of media that graphically depicts the actions
of the lowest and most depraved human beings, what does
that say about us? It says we are losing our capacity for
empathy that ability to put ourselves in the place of oth-
ers, understand how they feel and modify our actions
accordingly. It says that we are being estranged from each
other. It says that we are allowing our culture to rapidly
slide into the slime pit of depravity because of people oper-
ating in the outer limits in the twilight zone of humani-
ty. Without empathy, narcissism sets in and we become dis-
torted, exploitive human beings.
We see that each generation is parent to the next and
that we are all children of our culture, determined by our
social norms even as we determine them. We also see that a
whole generation can suffer severe narcissistic injury, even
as a child does in infancy, when our cultural parents the
authorities, our institutions, our public values fail to set
appropriate limits for us. Schnall.
For the good of future generations, we must wake up and
face the fact that much needs to be done to revive the cul-
tural values that support our young people and benefit all
of us. In When Society Becomes An Addict, Anne Wilson
Schaeff warns us: When we refuse to see what we see and
know what we know, we participate in a dishonest system
and help to perpetrate it. And we debase our humanity.

The (Riverside) Press-Enterprise
T
here is no easy, magic fix for
Californias budget shortfalls,
as Facebooks sagging stock
prices illustrate. The state cannot base
realistic fiscal plans on the hope of
lucrative stock offerings, hidden stash-
es of cash or other one-time expedi-
ents. Instead, legislators need to craft
budgets that honestly bring state
spending and revenue into sustainable
balance.
The states legislative analyst
reported last week that the state
might get hundreds of millions of
dollars less in Facebook-related rev-
enue than the budget projects. The
current $91.3 billion general fund
spending plan estimated $1.9 billion
in taxes from the sale of Facebook
stock, but that forecast assumed a
price of $35 per share for Facebook.
The stock price last week dipped
below $20 a share, though it climbed
back above that mark this week.
Even so, unless Facebook stock sees
a substantial turnaround by late
2012, the state budget will have
another fiscal hole to fill.
Nor can Californians hope for extra
money sitting in state special funds
accounts outside the general fund
filled by a variety of earmarked fees
to rescue the budget. The states
discovery last month of a previously
unknown $54 million surplus in state
parks accounts raised questions about
how much other money might be sit-
ting in the 560 special funds
California government operates. A
Department of Finance audit last week
found the state had about $200 million
more net in the special funds than the
budget lists, thanks to accounting
errors. But there were no more large
stashes of hidden money to ease budg-
et cuts. Besides, the deficit-ridden
general fund has already borrowed
about $4.3 billion from various special
funds money that future budgets
are supposed to repay.
Initial stock offerings from Internet
companies or raids on special funds
provide at best only temporary relief
for the state budget, not long-term
solutions. Taxes from high-end stock
earnings are notoriously volatile and
unpredictable from year to year, while
borrowing from special funds pays
present expenses by piling up large
debts for the future.
Stabilizing state finances requires
approaches that extend beyond a sin-
gle budget. California has about a $10
billion built-in gap between yearly
revenue and ongoing spending com-
mitments, and one-time fixes never
permanently bridge that chasm.
Legislators can only end the chronic
budget crises by bringing state
expenses and revenue into honest
alignment. But that task demands
hard-nosed decisions about taxes and
spending about what programs the
state should provide and how it should
pay for those services.
The Legislature can hope for more
big stock offerings and forage for hid-
den money in state accounts, but those
are not substantive strategies for
repairing state finances. Stopgaps that
avoid confronting the fundamental
mismatch between spending and rev-
enue might be politically convenient,
but guarantee California will remain
Facebook fallacy

NEW YORK The stock market has
the summer doldrums.
U.S. stocks dawdled between small
gains and losses Thursday with investors
unable to decide what to focus on: incre-
mental encouraging news about the U.S.
economy, or incremental negative news
about China and elsewhere.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
10.45 points just 0.08 percent. It has
barely budged for most of the week, ris-
ing Monday through Wednesday but
only by small fractions of a percent. The
relative quiet is partly due to a lack of
major developments in the European
debt crisis or decisive news on the U.S.
economy. Another reason is simply
because traders like to clear out for vaca-
tion in August.
I think there are more active man-
agers in the Hamptons than there are in
Manhattan, said Hugh Johnson, chair-
man and chief investment officer of
Hugh Johnson Advisors in Albany, N.Y.
David Abuaf, chief investment ofcer
of Hefty Wealth Partners, wasnt in the
Hamptons: He was in his office in
Auburn, Ind. And he, also, was watching
the markets languish.
There has been nothing systemically
consistent, either good news or bad
news, Abuaf said. So a lot of profes-
sional asset managers are saying, I
dont know where I want to put my
money, but if I dont invest now then my
clients are going to start demanding their
money back.
The Dow closed at 13,165.19. It was
down about 51 points at its lowest and
up 23 at its highest, meaning it had a
spread of about 74 points throughout the
day. The average spread for the year so
far is much higher, about 134 points,
according to Dow Jones Indexes.
Changes in the other indexes were
equally underwhelming. The Standard &
Poors 500 was virtually at, rising 0.58
points to 1,402.80. The Nasdaq edged up
7.39 to 3,018.64.
The trendless market was a product of
conicting news about the world econo-
my.
In the U.S., the government reported
that the trade decit fell to the lowest
level in 18 months, which is generally
considered good for the economy. In
June, the U.S. enjoyed lower prices for
the oil it brought in and higher sales of
the cars, pharmaceuticals and industrial
machinery it shipped out.

SAN FRANCISCO A re at one of
the nations largest oil reneries helped
push West Coast gas prices close to $4 a
gallon Thursday, as the same federal
team that investigated the Gulf Coast
spill waited to inspect the unit that was
knocked out by the blaze.
The U.S. Chemical Safety Board team
was standing by with state and company
inspectors to do structural and environ-
mental tests to see if it was safe to enter
the unit and determine when production
might resume after the Monday night
blaze.
In all, ve separate investigations will
be done.
This is an important accident in its
own right, it was a large re and has the
potential to affect fuel supplies and
prices, said Dr. Daniel Horowitz, a
member of the chemical board.
The average price of regular gasoline
jumped in California from $3.86 a gal-
lon on Tuesday to $3.94 on Thursday,
according to the website
GasBuddy.com.
Some experts expect the disruption in
production to last for weeks and push
prices beyond $4 a gallon.
Itll depend on Chevron getting their
facility repaired, said Patrick DeHaan
of GasBuddy.com. The increases will
be felt in California, Oregon and
Washington, with perhaps some residual
issues in Arizona and other nearby
states.
The Richmond renery produces 16
percent of the regions daily gasoline
supply. The re knocked out a unit that
makes a specialized blend of cleaner
burning gasoline that satises air quality
laws in California, Oregon and
Washington.
Sean Comey, a spokesman for
Chevron, said myriad factors were push-
ing gas prices higher, not just the loss of
one unit at the renery.
There are a variety of economic con-
ditions like rising crude and ethanol
costs, which also affect what consumers
pay at the pump, he said.
Comey said the renery continues to
produce gasoline, diesel and jet fuel but
in reduced amounts.
Experts said inventories of the cleaner
burning gas already were low. With the
renerys output in question for what
could be weeks, analysts say prices
could reach $4 a gallon as soon as
Friday.
Gas prices rise after refinery fire

NEW YORK U.S. airlines are more
punctual and less likely to lose your bag
than at any time in more than two
decades.
Travelers still have to put up with
packed planes, rising fees and unpre-
dictable security lines, but they are late
to fewer business meetings and are not
missing as many chances to tuck their
kids into bed.
Nearly 84 percent of domestic ights
arrived within 15 minutes of their sched-
uled time in the rst half of the year
the best performance since the govern-
ment started keeping track in 1988.
The improvement over the rst six
months of 2011, when 77 percent of
ights were on time, is mostly a result of
good weather and fewer planes in the
sky because of the weak economy.
Airlines are also doing a better job of
handling bags. Fewer than three suitcas-
es per 1,000 passengers were reported
lost, damaged or delayed from January
through June, a record low.
The two areas of improvement are
related: When ights are late, bags often
miss their connection.
My ights this year have been way
better, said Amanda Schuier, a sales
manager for a Kansas City, Mo., truck-
ing supplier who ies roughly four times
a week. In the past six months, Ive
only had two delays.
If the current pace continues, the air-
lines will beat their best full-year per-
formance, recorded in 1991, when near-
ly 83 percent of ights arrived on time.
The worst full year was 2000, when just
73 percent of ights arrived on time,
according to an Associated Press analy-
sis of Bureau of Transportation Statistics
data.
The worst year for baggage handling
was 1989, when nearly eight suitcases
per 1,000 passengers were reported late,
lost or damaged.

SAN FRANCISCO Google is pay-
ing a $22.5 million ne to settle the latest
regulatory case questioning the Internet
search leaders respect for peoples priva-
cy and the integrity of its internal con-
trols.
The penalty announced Thursday by
the Federal Trade Commission matches
the gure reported by the Associated
Press and other media outlets last month.
Its the most that the FTC has ever ned a
company for a civil violation.
The rebuke resolves the FTCs allega-
tions that Google Inc. duped millions of
Web surfers who use Apple Inc.s Safari
browser.
Google had assured people that it
wouldnt monitor their online activities,
as long as they didnt change the browser
settings to permit the tracking.
Google broke that promise, according
to the FTC, by creating a technological
loophole that enabled the companys
DoubleClick advertising network to shad-
ow unwitting Safari users. That tracking
gave DoubleClick a better handle on what
kinds of marketing pitches to show them.
The FTC concluded that the contradic-
tion between Googles stealth tracking
and its privacy assurances to Safari users
violated a vow that the company made in
another settlement with the agency in
October.

Yahoo CEO mulling possible changes in strategy
SAN FRANCISCO Recently hired Yahoo CEO
Marissa Mayer may scrap the Internet companys plan to
reward its long-tormented shareholders with a multibil-
lion-dollar payout later this year, underscoring the uncer-
tainty accompanying new leadership.
The unexpected twist disclosed in regulatory documents
led Thursday after the stock market closed caused Yahoo
shares to drop more than 3 percent in extended trading.
Mayer is mulling a shift in direction as part of a sweep-
ing review that she is conducting in an attempt to revive
Yahoos revenue growth, spur more product innovation
and boost the companys stock price. Those goals have
eluded her recent predecessors.
Yahoo Inc. lured Mayer away from rival Google Inc.
three weeks ago to become its fth CEO in the past ve
years.
Given Yahoos persistent headaches, shareholders pre-
sumably want Mayer to shake things up.
Even so Mayer will risk alienating Wall Street if she
decides to do something differently with a windfall that
will pour into Yahoo after it completes an agreement to sell
half its stake in thriving Chinese Internet company Alibaba
Group for $7.1 billion toward the end of the year.
Some union members reject Save Mart deal
MODESTO The union representing Save Mart work-
ers says it is seeking further discussion with the Central
California-based supermarket chain after two of its local
units rejected a tentative contract.
The Sacramento Bee reports that Locals 5 and 648 of the
United Food and Commercial Workers have voted against
the deal. The two locals are based in the San Francisco Bay
area.
Workers at another United Food and Commercial
Workers local this one in the Central Valley
approved the same deal on Wednesday. But a union
spokeswoman says the split vote will prevent it from going

WEMBLEY, England Hope Solo found
herself enveloped in a group hug at the nal
whistle. Abby Wambach ran to join the fun in
a celebration that unleashed a year of bottled-
up frustration.
The U.S. womens soccer team won its
third straight Olympic gold medal Thursday,
beating Japan 2-1 in a rematch of last years
World Cup nal and avenging the most
painful loss in its history.
Carli Lloyd scored early in both halves,
Solo leaped and dived to make saves, and the
entire roster found the redemption it had been
seeking since that penalty kick shootout loss
in Germany last summer.
Before 80,203 at Wembley Stadium, a
record crowd for a womens soccer game at
the Olympics, the teams put on a back-and-
forth, dont-turn-your-head soccer showcase,
proving again that these are the two premier
teams in the world. Womens soccer is still in
its formative stages in Britain, but the match
proved more than worthy for the hallowed
grounds of the beautiful game.
And the Japanese perhaps played just as
beautifully as the Americans, using their
speed and discipline to dominate possession
and scoring chances for long stretches before
nally cutting a 2-0 decit in half with about
a half-hour to go.
Back home, America was paying attention
just as it was last year and despite the rest
of the Olympic events. Even President Barack
Obama, during a campaign speech at
Colorado College during the second half of
the game, noted that, The women are doing
pretty good right now in soccer.
Lloyds goals came in eighth and 54th min-
utes, making it four goals in the tournament
for the midelder who lost her long-held
starting job weeks before the Olympics. She
got back on the pitch when Shannon Boxx
injured her hamstring in the opening game
and started every game since.

Playing in the West Catholic
Athletic League, Serras senior cen-
ter elder Jordan Paroubeck is used
to playing on a somewhat big stage.
But the WCAL atmosphere was
nothing compared to what
Paroubeck encountered on his rst
day in Long Beach playing in the
vaunted Area Code Baseball tourna-
ment.
The rst day, I saw like 400 peo-
ple (professional and college scouts,
and coaches) evaluating me. I was
pretty nervous, Paroubeck said. It
was hard to relax and do my thing.
Paroubeck is no stranger to top-
notch baseball. Last season at Serra,
he led the team in runs scored (27)
and total hits (33). He was third on
the team in RBIs with 22, he batted
.355 on the season and .400 in
WCAL play, with an overall on-
base percentage of .504.
I know all the scouts love his
tools, said Serra manager Craig
Giannino. One thing no one tends
to talk about is how hard he works.
He works extremely hard on his
game.
The Area Code Baseball tourna-
ment, held at Long Beach State
University, is a showcase event for
the best players in the country. In
conjunction with Major League
Baseball, teams are selected from
regional tryouts around the nation to
ll eight rosters. Paroubeck is one
of 22 players on the roster that rep-
resents the Oakland Athletics.
Our team has the biggest roster
[here] 22 players, Paroubeck
said. The rst day, Ill play innings
one through ve and the second day
innings six and seven. Ive been bat-
ting in the three hole and playing
center eld.
Paroubeck has steadily climbed
the ladder on the high school base-
ball scene to become a player in
demand. He recently withdrew an
oral commitment to Fresno State as
his options have opened up since his
freshman year at Serra. He secured
an invitation to the regional tryout
following his freshman season, but
did not make the team.
My freshman year, I felt over-
matched (at the tryouts). I felt I was

ST. LOUIS Adam Wainwright pitched seven strong
innings and the St. Louis Cardinals bounced back from a
blowout, beating the San Francisco Giants 3-1 Thursday.
Carlos Beltran hit his 27th homer as the Cardinals, trounced
by the Giants 15-0 the previous night. St. Louis has won seven
of its last 10.
Wainwright (10-10) allowed one run and ve hits, striking
out seven and walking three. He has given up two earned runs
or fewer in his last ve starts.
Jason Motte pitched the ninth for his 25th save in 29 chances.
Beltran, who leads the NL with 80 RBIs, hit a two-run homer
off Madison Bumgarner (12-7) in the rst inning. Bumgarner
has given up 18 home runs 15 on the road.
Bumgarner gave up three runs and three hits and struck out
seven in six innings.
Jon Jay went 2 for 3 and reached base three times for St.
Louis, which completed a seven-game homestand with a 5-2
mark.
San Francisco closed to 2-1 in the fth on a bases-loaded sac-
rice y by Marco Scutaro.
Joaquin Arias and Bumgarner singled with one out before
Wainwright walked Angel Pagan. Scutaro, who hit a grand
slam and drove in a career-high seven runs Wednesday night,
has hit safely in 11 of 13 games since he was acquired from
Colorado on July 27. Wainwright then got Melky Cabrera to
pop out to end the inning.
St. Louis pushed the lead to 3-1 in the sixth when Jay dou-
bled, stole third and came home on Allen Craigs sacrice y.
Giants star Buster Posey extended his hitting streak to 13
games with a single in the sixth.
NOTES: The Giants had scored in the rst inning in each of
their previous seven road games before Wainwright stopped
them. ... San Francisco has scored 93 runs in 13 games since
the All-Star break. ... St. Louis INF Daniel Descalso is in an 0-
for-13 slump. ... St. Louis opens a three-game series at
Philadelphia on Friday. Kyle Lohse (12-2, 2.79 ERA) will face
Roy Halladay (5-6, 4.02). ... The Giants begin a three-game set
at home against Colorado. Tim Lincecum (6-11, 5.43) takes on
Tyler Chatwood (1-2, 6.61).

SANTA CLARA There has been an enigma running
around San Francisco 49ers practices this offseason.
The long-legged, quick-footed, hair-no-longer-braided blur
wears No. 84. He still pulls his socks up high, talks with a
country twang and goes by Randy Moss.
Even on a team that rarely recognizes individuals, this new
presence has been impossible to miss.
Its neat to watch our players watch a
guy like Randy, that people watched grow-
ing up, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said.
We have two elds. The defensive eld is
on the far right and the offensive eld is
here on the left. I can always see the defen-
sive players looking over.
Time to give everybody a sneak peak.
After a year away from football, Moss
makes his much-anticipated 49ers debut
under the lights at Candlestick Park on
Friday night when resurgent San Francisco
(No. 4 in the inaugural AP Pro32 rankings) ttingly faces the
franchise where the wide receivers NFL career began, hosting
the Minnesota Vikings (No. 29) in the preseason opener for
both teams.
Ah, is that right? I think I heard that, joked Vikings cor-
nerback Antoine Wineld, who was around for Moss two
stints in Minnesota. Good player.
Just how good?
Nobody quite knows for sure what to make of this 35-year-
old Moss. Heck, nobody has quite known for sure for most of
his career.
Will he be the Moss who caught a single-season record 23
touchdowns to help New England to a 16-0 regular-season
record in 2007, the one who turned Minnesotas Metrodome
into a highlight factory and put up video-game-like numbers
for most of his career? Or will it be the not-afraid-to-say-any-
thing Moss whose effort and ability were questioned after per-
plexing exits in New England, Minnesota and Tennessee dur-
ing a wild, rocky 2010 season?
Well, when I rst came into this league, it was more of I
didnt really understand really everything that goes on with the
NFL, Moss said. And now that Im matured physically and
mentally, my philosophy is I do not like what the NFL does for
me, I want to know what I can do to make the NFL better.
So far, so good.
Then again, thats the way Moss tenures always start.
Moss has mentored San Franciscos remolded receiver corps
Mario Manningham, Michael Crabtree, Ted Ginn Jr., Kyle
Williams and rst-round pick A.J. Jenkins of Illinois all off-
season. He has attended every scheduled workout, meeting
and still has teammates past and present praising his profes-
sionalism despite the way things have always ended.
I enjoyed my time with Moss, Vikings linebacker Erin
Henderson said. I thought he was a fun guy to be around. I
thought he was a good guy to be around. He was going to say
what was on his mind and what he felt and what he thought
and it doesnt go well with everybody. But a guy like me
respects that and understands where it comes from and why it
can be like that.
San Franciscos wide receivers are already trying to mimic
Moss and not just by wearing those high socks.
Manningham credits Moss for showing him tips on reading
coverages and learning when to break off routes sooner. Ginn
and Vikings speedster Percy Harvin both said Moss offered
useful tips on how to be more patient and stay under control.
For others such as Crabtree, Williams and Jenkins, just watch-
ing Moss in motion has energized San Franciscos spirits.
Hes a legend, man. You cant do nothing but learn,
Crabtree said.
A chance at that elusive Super Bowl title has motivated
Moss more than any milestones.
Moss is tied with Terrell Owens who is three years older
and making a similar comeback in Seattle this season with
153 touchdown receptions, second-most in NFL history
behind 49ers Hall of Famer Jerry Rice (197). Another 1,000-
yard season would give Moss 11 for his career the only one

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. There are plenty of people rooting
for John Daly to continue his latest surprise run at the PGA
Championship, including another big-hitter in Tiger Woods.
Daly dusted off his long drives and showed the touch around
the greens that won him two majors, including his breakthrough
victory in the 1991 PGA, shooting a 4-under 68 on Thursday to
nish two strokes behind rst-round leader Carl Pettersson.
The 46-year-old Daly has lived off sponsor invites as he shut-
tles between the PGA and European tours. Recently, though, he
has felt his game improve enough that he isnt that surprised by
his round at The Ocean Course.
Ive been playing good, just trying to keep it at my own pace,
just be myself and play golf, said Daly, coming off a ve-place
tie last week in the Reno-Tahoe Open.
Thats always been good enough for some, like Woods, who
was just 13 when he rst played with Daly. Tiger was in awe of
Big Johns power even then, sharing a story of a mid-iron, uphill,
par-5 shot that Woods swore hit the center of the green and
bounced out of bounds.
Ive never seen anybody hit the ball that hard, said Woods,
who has some length to his game, too.
Daly used his length to navigate the 7,676-yard layout by 2
yards the longest in major championship golf and a short game
that kept him near the top. He briey gained a share of the lead at
4 under with an eagle on the par-5 11th, then gave back a stroke
a hole later, a bobble that in the past might have unnerved Daly
for additional mistakes.
This time, Daly held rm with two more birdies on the way in.
He saved par from left of the green on the difcult 18th, rolling in
a 12-footer to stay two behind Pettersson.
It was only the third time in his past 29 rounds at the PGA
Daly qualies as a past champion that he has broken 70. He
hasnt made the cut since 2007 or nished better than 32nd since
gaining the Wanamaker Trophy 21 years ago.

LONDON Instead of one victory
lap, Ashton Eaton got four.
His Olympic gold medal in the
decathlon was all but sealed when he
reached the last event, the 1,500 meters,
where he simply needed to nish in an
average time to win the event on
Thursday night.
The world-record holder cruised
over the four laps, crossed the line and
fell to the track partly of exhaustion
but mostly out of elation.
Eaton nished the two-day competi-
tion with 8,869 points to defeat fellow
American Trey Hardee by 198. Its the
rst time the Americans have gone 1-2
in the Olympic decathlon since Milton
Gray Campbell and Rafer Johnson in
1956.
Thats what Trey and I really, really
wanted, said Eaton, whos from
Eugene, Ore.
Especially this year, on the 100th
anniversary of the event. At the 1912
Olympics, Jim Thorpe won the inaugu-
ral title.
Thanks to Eaton, the decathlon gold
is staying in the United States. Eaton
joins 2008 winner Bryan Clay and, of
course, Bruce Jenner, in earning the
honor as The Worlds Greatest
Athlete.
Even Usain Bolt, the star of the night
with his victory in the 200 meters, was
impressed.
Im a great athlete, but to do 10
events, especially the 1,500 Ive got
to give it to him, Bolt said.
Though the warm-and-sunny condi-
tions in London were far better than the
rain, wind and cold at U.S. Olympic tri-
als in Oregon where Eaton broke the
record earlier this summer, he fell short
of the mark by 170 points.
Not that it mattered. His goal was
simply to win a medal, not eclipse his
world mark of 9,039 points.
Im satised, Eaton said as he
struggled to put his accomplishment
into words.
So Hardee did that for him.
Given that Eaton is just 24 and head-
ing into his prime, Hardees not sure
anyone is going to catch up to him any-
time soon.
Its safe to say my reign is over,
said Hardee, a two-time world champi-
on. I still think my best decathlon is
ahead of me, but Ashtons are, too.
As the days and weeks and months
and years pass, I think Ashton and I will
look back on this and realize how spe-
cial it really is and what this really
meant.
U.S. goes 1-2 in decathlon

American Ashton Eaton bettered teammate Trey Hardee to capture the
gold medal in the decathlon.
By Greg Beacham
LONDON Claressa Shields
ducked one punch, deftly leaned away
from another, and stuck her tongue out
at her Russian opponent. Just an
American teenager having a little fun.
After all, Nadezda Torlopova is near-
ly twice Shields age and about half her
speed. And Shields had to laugh at any
boxer trying to get between her and a
historic Olympic gold medal.
The 17-year-old middleweight from
Flint, Mich., beat Torlopova 19-12 on
Thursday, capping her rapid ascent
through womens boxing with a title in
its Olympic debut.
This was something I wanted for a
long time, even when boxing wasnt
going all right, even when my life was-
nt going all right, said Shields, who
found sanctuary in a boxing gym dur-
ing a rough childhood.
All I wanted was a gold medal, and
I kept working towards it, even when
people were saying I couldnt do it. Im
too young. I couldnt do it. There were
girls who were going to beat me
because of better experience, more
experience. I proved them all wrong.
Shields did it in style shufe-step-
ping, brawling and even winning over a
crowd that showed up to cheer Irish
lightweight Katie Taylor and British
yweight Nicola Adams, who also won
gold medals.
Shields had her hand over her heart
on the medal podium when she abrupt-
ly burst into laughter, her head snap-
ping back almost as if she had just been
punched in the face.
Thats a feeling her opponents in the
rst Olympic womens boxing tourna-
ment know quite well.
Only theyre not laughing.
Im surprised I didnt cry, Shields
said. I was sweating, though.
Shields, Taylor and Adams tri-
umphed in rapid succession on the nal
day of the London Games landmark
tournament, claiming the rst Olympic
titles in a growing sport that was
banned in Britain until 1996.
The ve-day event was one of
Londons biggest hits. And even amid
the sea of Irish fans cheering Taylors
every move, Shields was one of the
breakout stars of the games. An ugly
Olympics for the U.S. team ended with
a performance worthy of Cassius Clay,
Joe Frazier, Oscar De La Hoya and
every American Olympic champion
that came before Shields.
Shields found her purpose with
coach Jason Crutcheld at Berston
Field House in Flint after her father
who spent seven years of Claressas
childhood in prison infused her with
a passion for boxing. Shields has turned
into a polished athlete with a wild
streak in the ring.
Even the 33-year-old Torlopova had
to applaud the ascent of her divisions
new ruler.
Shes young, after all, and shes
quicker, Torlopova said. It happens
that speed overcame experience.
Something was lacking, most probably
speed. After the second round, when
they announced I was two points down,
I knew that was it. ... You have to know
how to lose. Shes a worthy opponent.
Good job.
Shields claims lone
boxing gold for U.S.
U.S. women win 1st gold
in Olympic water polo
LONDON The United States won its
rst gold medal in womens water polo, get-
ting ve goals from Maggie Steffens and a
sterling performance from goalkeeper Betsey
Armstrong to cruise to an 8-5 win over Spain
on Thursday.
The Americans overpowered a young
Spanish team at both ends of the pool to lead
5-2 by halftime, and they never looked back.
I am speechless. It still hasnt sunk in,
U.S. captain Brenda Villa said. I cant
describe it. Its the end of a journey, and I got
my fairy-tale ending.
The U.S. has long been a power in womens
water polo, but the Americans had never trans-
lated their success at other major competitions
to the Olympics, taking bronze in 2004 and
silver in 2000 and 2008.
Villa and Heather Petri played on all three
of those Olympic teams. They came back this
year, along with ve other veterans from
2008, and were joined by a talented batch of
new players, chief among them the 19-year-
old Steffens, who led all scorers in London
with 21 goals.
Her ve-goal effort in the nal came as a
bookend to her stunning seven-goal Olympic
debut to open the games.

more-than-respectable 46.1 seconds, and the United States
tied the Bahamas in the second heat in 2 minutes, 58.87 sec-
onds the fastest time ever run in the rst round of the relay
at the Olympics.
The 25-year-old sprinter from Cullowhee, N.C., said he
was diagnosed with a complete break of the left bula but
it was not a compound fracture and the bone is expected to
heal on its own in four to six weeks.
He knew what the stakes were when he lined up to run the
rst leg of his rst Olympics. The Americans have won gold
in the last eight long relays theyve entered at the Olympics.
Even though track is an individual sport, youve got three
guys depending on you, the whole world watching you,
Mitchell said. You dont want to let anyone down.
He said he slipped on the stairs a few days ago in the ath-
letes village but didnt think much of it. Training went well
and he felt good when he lined up to kick things off for the
Americans. He said he was feeling great, as well, when he
looked at the clock while approaching the 200-meter mark,
somewhere in the high-20 or low-21-second range.
I was doing my job, Mitchell said. But probably at 201
meters, I heard it and I felt it.
He credited something more than simple adrenaline for
pushing him the rest of the way around the track.
Faith, focus, nish. Faith, focus, nish. Thats the only
thing I could say to myself, he said.
Mitchell was a promising high school football player at
Crest High School in Shelby, N.C., when another broken
bone altered his career. He broke his left arm, and his coach-
es seeing the natural talent pushed him over to the
track.
Western Carolina coach Danny Williamson saw Mitchell
nish second several times to a future Olympian, Travis
Padgett, and offered a scholarship.
He was a team person here, said Williamson, who
received the rst call from Mitchell after he got off the track
Thursday. As soon as he came to Western Carolina, no mat-
ter what the situation, hed do anything we asked of him.
On the worlds biggest stage, Mitchell took the team-rst
thing to a whole new level.
He is the 2012 version of Jack Youngblood, the Rams line-
backer who played the Super Bowl on a broken leg. Or Tiger
Woods, who won the 2008 U.S. Open on a broken leg. Or,
maybe most appropriately, Kerri Strug, whose vault on a
sprained ankle sealed the rst-ever Olympic team gymnastics
gold for U.S. women at the 1996 Atlanta Games.
I dont know how you write this, but Id like to believe the
only way he would have stopped is if the leg had fallen off,
Williamson said.
Mitchell will spend the rest of the Olympics, and beyond,
in a walking boot and on crutches. Hell be at the stadium to
watch Fridays nal. The medals ceremony is Saturday and
Mitchell would get one, too, since he ran in the preliminar-
ies.
Forgive him if he doesnt leap onto the podium, though.
I pretty much gured it was broken, because every step I
took, it got more painful, he said. But I was out there
already. I just wanted to nish and do what I was called in to
do.

Yuki Ogimi answered in the 63rd minute, and Asuna Tanaka
nearly had the equalizer in the 83rd only to be thwarted when
Solo ung her entire body to the left to push the ball away.
The U.S. team has won four of the ve Olympic titles since
womens soccer was introduced at the 1996 Atlanta Games, set-
tling for mere silver at the 2000 Games in Sydney.
In the rst half, Japan was unfortunate not to have a penalty
kick awarded for a clear hand ball by U.S. midelder Tobin
Heath, who stuck out her left arm to stop a free kick inside the
area.
Japan also had two shots hit the crossbar, one off the left hand
of a leaping Solo, who was kept consistently busy for the rst
time this tournament. The closest the U.S. came to doubling the
lead in the rst 45 minutes came when Azusa Iwashimizu
attempted to clear a routine ball played in front of the net and
headed it off the post.
The U.S. goal in the eighth minute began with a run by Heath
down the left side. She fed Alex Morgan, who settled the ball
near the goal line, spun and chipped it toward Wambach.
Wambach raised her left foot for the shot, but Lloyd charged in
and got to it rst, her strong running header beating goalkeeper
Miho Fukumoto from 6 yards out.
Lloyd extended the lead with a 20-yard right-footer just inside
the left post after a long run with the ball through the middle of
the Japanese defense.
Ogimi soon cut the decit to one after a mad scramble in front
of the net. Captain Christie Rampone saved a shot off the line,
but the ball went to Homare Sawa, who fed Ogimi for the tap-
in.
Another scramble followed after U.S. defender Amy
LePeilbet saved yet another shot off the line in the 74th minute,
but this time her teammates were able to corral the ball before a
Japanese player could pounce on it.
Boxx was back into the starting lineup after the missing four
games with the hamstring injury. Lauren Cheney, who injured
an ankle in the seminals, began the game on the bench for the
rst time this tournament.
Canada won the bronze earlier Thursday, beating France 1-0
at Coventry.

good enough for the invite but not make the team. I was just
honored freshman year to be invited, Paroubeck said.
No invite was coming following his sophomore year, how-
ever, which motivated him even more this season.
Ever since [my freshman year], its been my goal to make
this team, Paroubeck said. When I got invited (this year), I
said I have to be on my A game.
I wouldnt say I expected to make the team. I feel, person-
ally, I was good enough to make the team.
Paroubeck increased his chances of playing in the Area
Code Baseball tournament following an appearance in the
North-South state all-star game following the high school sea-
son. It denitely gave him the condence to know he belonged
on the same eld with some of the best players in California.
The Area Code Baseball tournament, however, features the
best talent in the nation. A look at the alumni of the tourna-
ment is a whos who of MLB Dodgers pitcher Clayton
Kershaw played in the event in 2005, while Albert Pujols made
an appearance in 1998. Angels rookie phenom Mike Trout was
involved in 2008.
Usually, I feel like Im one of the better players on the
eld, Paroubeck said. But I know a lot of these guys might
be big leaguers one day and its cool to play with these guys.
Despite the fact many of these players will become profes-
sional players, Paroubeck is not intimidated. He is condent
enough in his abilities to believe he belongs on the eld and in
the lineup with these players. As such, he tries not to put too
much pressure on himself, especially at the plate. He said no
pitcher at the tournament throws less than 88 mph, and some
guys are humping it up there in the high 90s.
Every single pitcher we face is a very, very good pitcher.
Usually, [I encounter] one or two great pitchers, Paroubeck
said. I dont get down on myself (when I dont get a hit). I just
look at it as, Theyre good, Im good, well see what hap-
pens.
Im just going out to have fun and try to be as relaxed as
possible.

LONDON When the stakes are the biggest, the spotlight most
bright, Usain Bolt is as good as gold.
Good as theres ever been.
Putting the eld far enough behind that he could slow up over his
last few strides and put his left index nger to his mouth to tell any
critics to shush, Bolt won the 200 meters in 19.32 seconds Thursday
night, making him the only man with two Olympic titles in that
event.
Bolt led a Jamaican sweep, with his training partner and pal
Yohan Blake getting the silver in 19.44, and Warren Weir taking the
bronze in 19.84 nearly a half-second behind the champion.
The guy is just on another planet right now, Wallace Spearmon,
the American who nished fourth in 19.90, said between sobs of dis-
appointment.

LONDON The president of amateur boxings governing
body expects to replace the sports computerized scoring system
with the traditional professional judging system before the 2016
Rio Olympics.
Wu Ching-Kuo told The Associated Press its all part of his
plan for Olympic boxing to look more like the pro game. AIBA
intends to move to the pros 10-point scoring system, which
takes into account every aspect of ghters skills, not solely their
ability to land clean punches.
We are on the way, Wu said. Its better for the boxers. That
competition style (means) everything, the whole aspect, is added
together. The winner should be the better boxer.
The eventual move will trigger a fundamental shift in an ama-
teur sport that has withered in the U.S. and other countries where
pro boxing dominates. Olympic boxers will no longer be able to
train merely to master the quirks of the computerized system,
which records a point when a majority of ringside judges push a
button indicating a ghter connected with a punch.
That system has been widely criticized for warping the sport
into something resembling fencing with gloves, de-emphasizing
everything from body punches which dont usually yield
many points to ring control and even ghters charisma.
Olympic boxing could look much different in Rio. AIBA also
has considered getting rid of headgear for its mens ghts, and
Wu is determined to signicantly increase the number of
womens boxers in Rio after cramming just 36 into the highly
successful debut tournament in London.
The changes in the scoring system will require signicant re-
training of referees and judges, but Wu believes it can be done
well before Rio.
It is on the way, Wu said. I will do everything from a good
concept, but we must evaluate properly, not rush. If you get (a
change) started, it is difcult to come back. We always start with
very good consideration, very good evaluation, and once we
start, we will not go back from that.
The amateur sport moved to a computerized scoring system in
the wake of Roy Jones Jr.s infamously unfair loss to a South
Korean opponent in a gold-medal bout at the 1988 Seoul Games.
Three of the ve ringside judges voted for Park Si-hun in the
simple majority vote that decided amateur bouts at the time.
Wu already has implemented the 10-point system in the World
Series of Boxing, the 2-year-old professional team boxing
league operated by AIBA in its growing efforts to inuence the
sport at every level. Late next year, AIBA will debut APB, a pro-
fessional boxing series that already has signed a large number of
elite amateur ghters to participate in regular cards with salaries,
insurance and Olympic eligibility.

Buyers of Chryslers 200
Convertible get a lot of room and
style for the money.
Stretching more than 16 feet long,
the two-door, 2012 200 Convertible
has room for four passengers
complete with a back seat that has
more legroom than the back seat of
a 2012 Ford Mustang Convertible.
Theres a full 13.3 cubic feet of
trunk space in the Chrysler 200
Convertible with the top up and 7
cubic feet with the top down. This is
more than whats in the trunk of the
2012 Volkswagen Eos convertible.
The Chrysler 200 Convertible
also has attractive styling, right
down to its pleasantly arranged
dashboard and Audi-like light-emit-
ting diode headlamp accents.
Theres no unfriendly, gun-slit-like
windshield as in the 2012 Chevrolet
Camaro convertible.
Better yet, starting retail price for
a 2012 Chrysler 200 Convertible
with fabric, not vinyl, roof and stan-
dard automatic transmission is
$27,805, which is less than major
competitors base retail prices.
The base 200 Convertible comes
with a 173-horspower, four-cylinder
engine. A 200 Convertible with 283-
horsepower V-6 and fabric top has a
starting manufacturers suggested
retail price, including destination
charge, of $29,600 and compares
with the $31,050 starting retail price
of a 2012 Camaro Convertible with
323-horsepower V-6.
Two types of roofs are offered on
the compact 2012 Chrysler 200
Convertible, and a hard-top version
with standard V-6 has a starting
MSRP, including destination
charge, of $34,795.
This price is less than the $35,120
base price for a 2012 VW Eos that
comes standard with a hard top and
200-horsepower four cylinder.
The Chrysler 200 replaced the
Sebring convertible for the 2011
model year, and the cars size
longer and taller than the Mustang,
Camaro and Eos convertibles
gives it an advantage when buyers
look for decent travel space in a

DETROIT The redesigned
Ford Escape is a small SUV with
big shoes to ll.
The Escape that goes on sale this
month replaces an older version that
helped invent the pint-sized SUV
category in the early 2000s. It was a
huge hit for Ford, with more than 2
million sales over the last decade,
and it went toe-to-toe with popular
models like the Honda CR-V, Jeep
Liberty and Toyota RAV4.
If the new, sharper Escape does
what Ford wants it to do unseat
the CR-V it will sit atop one of
the fastest growing vehicle seg-
ments.
Small SUVs are the only vehicles
that have returned to pre-recession
sales levels, says Erich Merkle,
Fords chief U.S. sales analyst.
More than 1.8 million of them were
sold in 2011, around 14 percent of
all sales. Some analysts predict
theyll climb to 18 percent by 2015.
A decade ago, small utilities made
up just 5 percent of sales.
Models like the Escape, Toyota
RAV4, and Nissan Rogue are popu-
lar because they ll the needs of
many different buyers. Baby
Boomers are downsizing from big-
ger models like the Ford Explorer
now that their children are grown.
Boomers children are moving up
from smaller cars as they start fam-
ilies. Newer, nicer SUVs, from the
Kia Sorento to the luxury Range
Rover Evoque, are drawing more
buyers.
Small SUVs give buyers more
cargo space but are built on car
frames, making them easier and
more fuel-efcient to drive than large
SUVs that are built on truck frames.
We expect this segment to go
higher and higher, says Jessica
Caldwell, a senior analyst with car-
buying site Edmunds.com.
The 2013 Escape, which gets an
ofcial kickoff Wednesday at the
Louisville, Ky., plant where its
made, looks nothing like the model
that rst went on sale 12 years ago.
Gone is the boxy styling that looked
dated alongside sleeker rivals like

the CR-V. The new Escape, which was
designed in Europe, has the sloped, aerody-
namic roof and sharper lines of the Focus
sedan on which its based.
Terry Kidd, the owner of Kidd Ford Lincoln
in Morrison, Tenn., says the redesign will
draw customers who preferred the tapered
look of brands like Honda, which ditched the
boxier styling on the CR-V in 2007. Kidd has
customers lined up to buy the first few
Escapes that will arrive at his dealership this
week.
The new styling appealed to Tim Wilson,
56, who ordered an Escape to replace his 2012
Ford Focus.
Wilson, a supervisor at a public transit con-
trol center in Minneapolis, liked the gas
mileage on the Focus but found it too small to
carry his art and construction supplies, and
golf clubs. He also wants to go off-roading at
his winter home in Arizona.
I like the swept-back windshield and kinet-
ic design, says Wilson. He chose cloth seats
to save money, but sprung for high-end
options that included blind-spot warning
lights and a system that automatically parallel
parks the vehicle.
Those features may not be enough to unseat
the CR-V, which was the best-selling small
SUV in the U.S. from 2006 through 2010. The
Escape ranked No. 2 during most of those
years, until it eclipsed the CR-V
in 2011 with is best sales
ever of more than
2 5 4 , 0 0 0 .
Earthquake-related
shortages at
Honda and big
discounts on old
Escapes made the
difference.
Fuel economy is
similar on the two
SUVs. The new
Escape can tow up
to 3,500 pounds
enough for a one-ton boat and its trailer
which is 2,000 more than the CR-V. But the
CR-V offers some standard features that cost
extra on the Escape, like a backup camera.
The new Escape costs $1,000 more than the
outgoing model, although its
$22,470 starting
price puts it
on par
wi t h
the CR-V. Features can add up quickly. To get
Fords new automatic lift gate, which opens
when the driver makes a kicking motion under
the bumper, you have to upgrade to a $26,290

more.
FORD
rode ne in the test 200 Convertible with the
front seat up a ways on its track. Legs of the
back-seat passenger didnt touch the front
seatbacks, though on a rainy day, this passen-
ger had to duck and scrunch to get under the
roof and inside the back seat.
The trunk, with some mechanicals for the
movable roof visible, is somewhat shallow,
but expansive width-wise. Theres also little
liftover to fuss with and no spare tire.
But dont look for fuel efciency in this car.
Both 200 engines the 2.4-liter, double
overhead cam, four-cylinder engine and the
3.6-liter, double overhead cam V-6 earned
low and surprisingly similar gasoline mileage
ratings from the federal government.
The 200 Convertible with four cylinder is
rated at 18 miles per gallon in city driving,
while the convertible with V-6 has a 19-mpg
rating in the city. On the highway, the 200
Convertible with either engine has a 29-mpg
rating.
So, other than a lower initial purchase
price, the four cylinder doesnt seem to offer
monetary benets, while its power output is
so much lower than that of the V-6.
Peak torque from the four cylinder is 166
foot-pounds at 4,400 rpm, while its a snort-
ing 260 foot-pounds at 4,400 rpm with the V-
6.
In the test car with V-6, the driver had to
hold tight to the steering wheel when acceler-
ating hard. Otherwise, the wheels would jerk
to one side and then the other in a crazy
motion. This aggressive acceleration came
with strongly condent and powerful engine
sounds.
Only a six-speed automatic is available in
the 200 Convertible, and at times, riders
noticed the shift points in the test car, even
when the Auto-Stick manual shifter was not
in use.
Combined city/highway mileage in the test
car was 21.9 mpg, which is nearly equal to
the federal government estimate. With a 16.9-
gallon fuel tank, the test 200 Convertible with
V-6 had a decent range of 370 miles.
Note VWs Eos, which has a turbocharged
four cylinder delivering 200 horsepower and
207 foot-pounds of torque at 1,700 rpm, is
rated at 22/30 mpg, and its estimated range
on its 14.5-gallon tank is 362 miles.
Premium gasoline is recommended for the
Eos, while regular is the only requirement for
the 200 Convertible.
The test car was the top S model and
included ne-looking, leather-covered seats
with contrasting stitching. Armrests had some
give to them and the plastic textures inside
looked more upscale that they had in the old
Sebring.

More brain
than brawn
By Christy Lemire
The fourth lm in the Bourne franchise, The Bourne Legacy,
may seem heady and intentionally disorienting and hard to fol-
low at rst until you realize its really about drug addiction,
and the lengths to which a junkie will go to get his x.
Structurally, yes, its loaded with all the lies, schemes and
high-tech trickery that are staples of the espionage genre. But a
deeper, more individualistic source of tension propels the lm
along. Think of it as Drugstore Cowboy with an international
scope and more explosions. That may help as you compare it
with the rst three lms in the series that starred Matt Damon
as Jason Bourne, the amnesiac CIA assassin of Robert
Ludlums novels, and established Damon as the rare
action star who can actually act.
Comparison is inevitable, especially given that a new
leading man, Jeremy Renner, now plays the highly
trained bad ass at the center of the lms intrigue. And
as a straight-up action ick, The Bourne Legacy
does come up a bit short, except for one dizzying
motorcycle chase through the streets of Manila.
But it feels like Tony Gilroy is trying to do
something different here, something more
cerebral and potentially less crowd-pleas-
ing.
Gilroy, who wrote or co-wrote the
previous three lms (The Bourne
Identity, The Bourne
Supremacy and The Bourne
Ultimatum), takes over direct-
ing duties as well this time, and
it seems as if hes more inter-
ested in offering a character
drama about desperation
than a high-octane summer
blockbuster. Not that The
Bourne Legacy is free of
thrills, its just more
grounded than spectacular.

WAR HORSE. The storyline of this inter-
national stage sensation has become general-
ly known through Steven Spielbergs film
adaptation: In England at the outbreak of
World War I, young Albert Narracotts
beloved horse, Joey, is sold to the cavalry
and shipped to France; Albert follows on a
dangerous mission to find the horse and
bring him home. Remarkable, justly lauded,
life-size equine puppets bring Joey and his
fellow cavalry mounts to breath-filled life, in
every way capturing the majestic spirit of
horses. Sophisticated stagecraft deftly blends
rear-projected images, economically ren-
dered scenery, dramatic lighting and evoca-
tive music to produce a vivid backdrop for
the perilous journey of Albert and Joey from
the sun-filled meadows of England to the
trench-scarred battlefields of France.
War Horse premiered in 2007 at the Royal
National-Olivier Theatre in London and on
Broadway in 2011, where it received five
Tony Awards, including Best Play. Based on
the novel by Michael Morpurgo and adapted
by Nick Stafford. Directed by Marianne
Elliott and Tom Morris. Presented in associ-
ation with Handspring Puppet Company.
Two hours 30 minutes including intermis-
sion.
NOTE TO PARENTS:
War Horse is suitable for ages 12 years and
up. The carnage of the WWI is vividly
depicted (trench warfare, poison gas, barbed
wire, looming tanks) and both men and hors-
es die violently in the course of the action.
Guns are fired and very bright lights are at
times directed at the audience. No children
under 5 allowed.

JOEY FACTS & FIGURES.:
1. The horse puppet (Joey), which weighs
120 pounds, is handmade. Its frame is most-
ly cane, soaked, bent and stained. 2. An alu-
minum frame along the spine, lined partly
with leather for comfort, allows the horse to
be ridden. 3. Stretched, hosiery-like
Georgette fabric makes up the skin
beneath the frame. 4. A puppeteer at the head
controls the ears and head; one in the heart
controls breathing and front legs; a third in
the hind controls the tail and back legs. 5. A
harness connects the puppets and pup-
peteers spines so his or her movements
become the breathing of the horse. 6. The tail
and ears are moveable instead of the lips or
eyelids, because thats how horses usually
express themselves. 7. Two levers connected
with bicycle brake cables control the leather
ears. 8. The puppet, just under 10 feet long
and about 8 feet tall, has about 20 major
joints. Vertical levers curl the knees and lift
the hooves. 9. The neck is made of carbon
fiber glass for flexibility. 10. The eyes are
black color behind clear resin so light
refracts through them. 11. The right hind
lever moves the tail up and down; the left
hind lever, left to right; moved together, the
tail spirals. 12. The hair in the mane and tail
is made of Tyvek, a plastic-like paper.

There are few foods as simple, deli-
cious and complete as fresh seasonal
corn on the cob. When its really fresh,
Ill even eat it raw. No boiling, no butter,
no salt. Its perfectly sweet and tender
right off the stalk.
Still, even perfection can get boring,
and I recently began wondering what
else I could do with fresh corn. I thought
back to my days as the host of the Food
Networks Cooking Live, when one of
my guest chefs whipped up some corn
soup and thickened it with pureed corn.
Of course, Id known that any pureed
vegetable will thicken a stew or soup.
But corn has a secret ingredient Duh!
cornstarch. I was astonished by the
creaminess and thickness of my guests
soup.
This recipe was inspired by that soup.
Creamed corn is thus named because it
usually depends on cream for its creami-
ness. Thats a problem for me for a cou-
ple of reasons. The cream not only
makes the dish too rich, it also tends to
mask the avor of the corn itself.
So I took a tip from my chef friend and
used pureed corn to achieve a silky rich-
ness without any additional fat.
Caramelized onions add great depth of
avor, while the chilis heat and lime
juices acidity balance the sweetness of
the corn.
Dont hesitate to nish the dish with
just about any herb in the garden these
days. Corn plays nicely with almost all
of them.
SPICY CREAMED CORN
Start to nish: 30 minutes
Servings: 6
10 to 12 ears fresh corn, husked
3/4 cup chicken broth, vegetable broth
or water, divided
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil or olive
oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely
chopped (about 1 cup)
Salt
1 serrano chili, seeds and ribs discard-
ed if desired, minced (about 1 table-
spoon)
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice or
lemon juice, to taste
1 tablespoon shredded fresh basil or
chopped fresh cilantro
Ground black pepper
Carefully cut the kernels off the ears
of corn. To do this, one at a time stand
each ear on its wide end and use a ser-
rated knife to saw down the length of the
cob. You should have about 6 cups of
kernels.
In a blender, combine 1 cup of the ker-
nels and 1/2 cup of the broth. Puree until
smooth. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium, heat the
oil. Add the onion and a pinch of salt,
reduce the heat to moderately low and
cook, stirring occasionally, until golden,
about 8 minutes. Add the remaining corn
kernels and another pinch of salt. Saute
for 3 minutes. Add the chili and pureed
corn, then bring the mixture to a simmer
and cook for 2 minutes.
Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of chick-
en broth, the lime juice and basil. Season
with salt and pepper, then simmer for
another minute.

Study tracks rise of
feminine pronouns
By Hillel Italie
NEW YORK In the opening pages of The Feminine
Mystique, Betty Friedan consciously captured the despair of
so many housewives and unknowingly anticipated a shift in
language that would mirror the revolution to come in womens
lives.
As she made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slip-
cover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches with her children,
chauffeured Cub Scouts and Brownies, lay beside her husband
at night, Friedan wrote in her 1963 book, she was afraid to
ask even of herself the silent question Is this all?
The average reader might catch such Mad Men details as
matched slipcover material. But a linguist or psychologist
will be keeping score: She and her each are used twice;
herself once. Not a single he, his or himself appears.
The golden age of the male pronoun was ending.
According to a study released Thursday, the he-she gap in
books one that has always favored the masculine has
dramatically narrowed since the release of Friedans feminist
classic.
Drawing upon nearly 1.2 million texts in the Google Books
archive, three university researchers tracked gender pronouns
from 1900 to 2008. The ratio of male to female pronouns was
roughly 3.5:1 until 1950, when the gap began to widen as more
women stayed home after World War II, and peaked at around
4.5:1 in the mid-1960s. The ratio had shrunk to 3:1 by 1975,
and less than 2:1 by 2005.
These trends in language quantify one of the largest, and
most rapid, cultural changes ever observed: The incredible
increase in womens status since the late 1960s in the U.S.,
Jean M. Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State
University and author of Generation Me, said in a statement.
Those numbers are quite staggering, says James W.
Pennebaker, author of The Secret Life of Pronouns and chair
of the psychology department at the University of Texas in
Austin. Pronouns are a sign of people paying attention and as
women become more present in the workforce, in the media
and life in general, people are referring to them more.
During a recent interview, Twenge said that she and her fel-
low scholars W. Keith Campbell, who heads the psycholo-
gy department at the University of Georgia; and one of his stu-
dents, Brittany Gentile had been talking about the Google
database as a resource for studying gender. They liked the idea
of starting at 1900, because pronouns have not changed since
thee and thou fell out of style in the 1800s.
Google offers much more information than what was imme-
diately available just a few years ago, Twenge notes, although
the material is far from complete; the search engines archive
contains just 4 percent of all books published in the U.S. since
1800. But Twenge and her colleagues concluded that gender
was not a factor in which books Google included.
You have this huge sample, with no biases, Twenge says.
And you have an agreed upon set of words.
It seems very comprehensive and well done, Pennebaker
says. There are two types of data, imperfect data and no data.
If youre going to wait around for perfect data, you are going
to wait around forever.
WEEKEND JOURNAL 21

You say potato, I say pot-ah-toe ... chip. And thats just the
start of it.
Though thin and at may be the national standard and
bestselling variety of this ubiquitous snack, regional and
sometimes hyper-local preferences for different calibers of
crunch, thickness, seasonings and endless other elements have
created a surprisingly diverse culinary patchwork of chip
styles around the country.
Thats right the chips you nosh in the Northeast could be
wildly different than those savored in the South.
Midwesterners, for example, prefer a thicker, more substan-
tial chip. Big, hearty chips also sell well in New England and
the Rockies, though in the latter area those progressive moun-
tain folk want theirs with artisanal seasonings. Southerners
love barbecue avor, chip industry executives say, but it needs
to be sprinkled on thin, melt-in-your-mouth chips.
Southwestern states predictably go for bold and spicy. Local
avors such as New Orleans Cajun and Mid-Atlantic crab
seasoning nd their way onto chips in those places. And
people all across the country, it seems, love a curly, shattering
kettle chip.
People like the potato chip they grew up with, says Jim
McCarthy, chief executive ofcer at the Rosslyn, Va.-based
Snack Food Association, a trade group that represents the
many denizens of convenience store shelves. Theres a very
strong brand recognition and brand loyalty to the chip you
grew up with.
Potato chips are Americas number one snack, according to
the groups 2012 state of the industry report, and we spent $9
billion on them in 2010, 50 percent more than what we spent
on the No. 2 snack, tortilla chips. More than half of those sales
go to Plano, Texas-based Frito-Lay North America, whose
original thin, crispy chip is the top-seller. But hometown styles
still claim their territory.
In the Pacic Northwest, Seattles thick-cut Tims Cascade
Style offers big bite and bigger avors, such as jalapeno made
from real peppers and a salt and vinegar chip that makes you
pucker says Dave West, sales director for the company.
Over in the Rockies, kettle-cooked Boulder Canyon chips
pair their crunchy bite with artisanal seasonings such as red
wine vinegar, spinach and artichoke, and balsamic and rose-
mary.
Down the map in the Southwest, Arizona-based Poore
Brothers offers two varieties of kettle-cooked chips with
mouth-numbing heat from jalapenos and habaneros.
People in this region really tend to like this pepper, these
stronger, spicier avors, says Steven Sklar, senior vice presi-
dent of marketing at Phoenix, Ariz.-based Inventure Foods
Inc., which owns the Boulder Canyon and Poore Brothers
brands. Youve got a hard bite with a strong avor. The com-
bination makes a big difference.
While Southerners like spice, industry executives say, the
regions traditional chip is thin and aky. The southern con-
sumer prefers a lighter, thinner potato chip, says Julie
McLaughlin, director of marketing at Birmingham, Ala.-based
Golden Flake Snack Foods, which makes Golden Flake Thin
& Crispy Potato Chips. The company sells across 10 states in
the Southeast, McLaughlin says, and its best-selling chip is
Sweet Heat Barbecue, one of ve barbecue varieties it
makes. Golden Flake also offers a thick-cut, wavy chip,
McLaughlin says, for the transplants.
And then there are the niche chips, the hyper-local avors
that connect people to their culinary heritage.
In New Orleans, Zapps makes Spicy Cajun
Crawtaters, designed to mimic the a-
vor of a seafood boil.
Nottingham, Penn.-based
Herr Foods makes a
Philly cheesesteak chip,
as well as one meant to
taste like boardwalk
fries. For other
Mid-Atlantic pro-
ducers such as
Hanover, Penn.-
based Utz
Quality Foods
and the
M o u n t
Jackson, Va.-

Route 11
Potato Chips,
crab season-
ing is must,
but may be for
locals only.
If youve
never had a blue
crab experience,
or been at a crab
feast, youre kind of
like, What is this?
says Sarah Cohen, Route
11 president and co-founder.
If I see somebody ordering a lot
of crab and theyre in Kansas City,
well call them up to see if they under-
stand what the crab is. Usually they dont, and
theyre thankful that we called.
Advances in potato chip making technology and distribution
have attened what may once have been a much wider variety
of regional chip preferences, some analysts and executives say.
Potato chip making began in the mid-19th century with mom-
and-pop operations in practically any small town with access
to potatoes, oil and a kettle to fry them in.
Today, the industry uses chipping potatoes grown speci-
cally for the purpose, and has developed technology to pro-
duce a more uniform chip. Advances in packaging and the
emergence of big box chains mean chips now can travel much
farther, spreading once local tastes throughout the country.
Through the mass marketers, through Costco and BJs,
Walmart, a lot of product that was regional has now become
national, says the Snack Food Associations McCarthy. You
can nd Utz potato chips in California and before you could-
nt.
For sure, standardization and competition from giant pro-
ducers like Frito-Lay may have squeezed some smaller com-
panies out of business, executives say. But it may be the pre-
dominance of those at, mass-produced chips that has also
kept regional passions alive.
Trying to compete with the giants out there hasnt been
successful, says Inventures Sklar. Thats where regional
players like Poore Brothers come in with a different product
and then regional avors to enhance that. Going
head-to-head with Frito-Lay on a at chip
just isnt going to work.
But even Frito-Lay plays the
regional avors game. The com-
pany began experimenting a
decade ago with avors like
Chicago Steakhouse
Loaded Baked Potato,
and San Antonio
Salsa. Today, it
offers roughly a
dozen specialty a-
vors such as Wavy
Au Gratin in the
Midwest, Garden
Tomato & Basil in
the East, and a
thick-cut Deli
chip for Colorado.
Executives cre-
ate new avors by
surveying popular
items and food
trends in the different
regions, said Ram
Krishnan, Frito-Lay
vice president of market-
ing. But today they also
employ Facebook and other
social media to crowd source
preferences. In contests that have
been held around the world, the compa-
ny invites consumers to suggest new avors
on the companys Facebook page. The current con-
test, the rst in the United States, runs through October 6.
Flavors like sautied onion and ketchup, smoked salmon, and
bacon with anything from cheese to chocolate have been
suggested.
Some avors that started out as regional specialties for
example, Limon, originally for California have gained a
wider audience.
America: A patchwork of potato chip varieties
WEEKEND JOURNAL
22
of secret government and quasi-government
programs funded by millions and millions of
dollars with little oversight, all designed to
build better weapons and better soldiers.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency, which performs research for the U.S.
Department of Defense, is just one organiza-
tion developing the kinds of programs that
would t perfectly into Bournes world: Not
just high-tech weapons and robotic prosthe-
ses, but advances in neuroscience to help
reduce battlefield stress, hasten learning,
improve analytic capabilities and even engen-
der trust.
Bioethicist and University of Pennsylvania
professor Jonathan Moreno explores the rela-
tionship between brain research and national
defense in his book Mind Wars.
The improvement of soldiers war-ghting
ability, brain-machine interfaces and the use
of drugs and other measures to confuse and
disrupt the enemy are the sorts of approaches
that are going to be developed over the next
decades, driven by cutting-edge science, he
writes.
Such advancements are at the heart of The
Bourne Legacy. Jeremy Renner plays Aaron
Cross, a super agent who has beneted from
the governments top-secret medical research;
Rachel Weisz is the doctor who helped devel-
op the science and Edward Norton acts as the
kingpin, a sort of corporate-military-intelli-
gence hybrid, who tries to control it all.
Gilroy talked with the Associated Press
about his inspiration for the story and why
truth can be stranger than ction.
AP: How did you go about broadening
the Bourne world?
Gilroy: There needed to be a pulling back
the curtain, a much larger conspiracy. Edward
Norton has his agency that hes carved out
there at the center of the Beltway, and (we)
found a niche for him in the military-industri-
al-corporate espinocracy food chain, found a
good place for his agency to t. ... It has all of
the funding and all of the motivation and all of
the secrecy that we would expect with a gov-
ernment program, but then it has all the lack
of oversight, the human error, that we know
always comes with everything. So we set
Edwards agency there, in that sort of sweet
spot there...
AP: Did you discover anything so far-
fetched that moviegoers might not believe
is true?
Gilroy: I wanted to keep everything really
kitchen sink-y and crude and authentic and
real and did not want to have it feel science-
ction, and I knew that what we were talking
about is really on the way here or certainly a
lot of people have it up on the chalkboard. ...
The thing that seemed most applicable to me
and that helped me most in my story was
gene doping, genomic alteration. That was a
little bit sexier and a little more on the hori-
zon than some of the other things. Its kind of
fascinating, in the last month, since the
Olympics have come up, Ive seen two main-
stream articles the scientists who are
responsible for doing all the drug testing for
all the athletes, thats their cutting edge.
Thats their next (question), how do we mon-
itor gene doping. And they dont know how to
do it and its really fascinating. The scenario
is they introduce chromosomal gene doping
through a synthetic virus. And thats happen-
ing now. Thats what Olympic doctors are
worried about.
GILROY
chases play out in a more fluid fashion than
the frenzied, kinetic style thats the signa-
ture of Paul Greengrass, who directed parts
two and three.
Renner stars as Aaron Cross, whos alone
in the wilds of Alaska on a training exer-
cise at the films start.
But he finds hes the target of a legiti-
mate threat when the supersecret govern-
ment spy program hes a part of hastily
gets shut down with the exposure of Jason
Bourne.
Turns out, Bourne was not the only per-
son given a whole new identity he was
one of many, and the new models are even
bigger-better-faster-stronger thanks to a
combination of little blue and green pills.
His handlers, including Edward Norton,
Stacy Keach and Donna Murphy, may have
done too good a job.
Cross is hard to kill, and Gilroy cuts
back and forth between the spys resource-
ful, globe-trotting efforts to stay alive and
the shadowy surveillance rooms full of
glowing monitors that illuminate his
hunters growing frustration.
Cross finds one ally, though. Rachel
Weisz plays Dr. Marta Shearing, a research
scientist at a pharmaceutical giant who
becomes his reluctant partner on the run.
She also finds herself a target when she
becomes the lone survivor of a massive
workplace shooting at her lab. (The delib-
erate carnage would have been unsettling
anyway but it seems especially so now.)
He needs to get his hands on more of the
drugs she helped concoct or hell revert to
his former, normal self. She knows where
to find them, but its a long and messy slog.
Weisz is literally and figuratively along for
the ride, called upon as she is to do little
more than rattle off a lot of scientific jar-
gon and persevere.
That means its up to Renner to inject the
film with some personality, to find a bal-
ance between being engaging and deadly.
And he succeeds in the first part of the
film, showing some of the flashes of excit-
ing unpredictability he made his name on
in The Hurt Locker and The Town.
Going through withdrawal does his charac-
ter no favors, and strands him in straight-
forward survival mode.
But its clear from the final shot (which
is part of a rather abrupt ending) that more
adventures with Aaron Cross are in store.
The Bourne Legacy, a Universal
Pictures release, is rated PG-13 for vio-
lence and action sequences. Running time:
135 minutes. Two and a half stars out of
four.
BOURNE
37, of South San Francisco, were on their way
to pick up beverages for a baptism celebra-
tion. Two others, an adult and a 9-year-old
boy, were also hospitalized with serious
injuries.
Responding ofces described the car carry-
ing Picazo and Gomez as left looking like an
accordion, said Wagstaffe.
Authorities are still awaiting the results of
toxicology tests on Corsiglia but he is
believed to have been under the inuence and
was reportedly in possession of his prescribed
seizure medication and Oxycodone. It is
unclear if the painkiller was prescribed.
Corsiglia suffers petite mal seizures, said
Wagstaffe, who added that he most certainly
knew the danger of his medical condition
because he has a checkered history of motor
vehicle accidents linked to it.
Between 2002 and 2011, Corsiglia has had
seven trafc accidents. Six were between
2007 and 2011 and all were reported to
involve speeding and seizures, Wagstaffe said.
In 2007, Corsiglia reportedly rear-ended a
car at a red light in Redwood City and his pas-
senger reported seeing the man gloss over and
become unresponsive. After coming to,
Corsiglia reportedly had no memory of the
accident that left three injured.
Later the same day, Corsiglia rented a new
vehicle despite protestations from that passen-
ger and another friend who said it was not a
safe decision. In San Bruno a few hours later,
Corsiglia reportedly ran a stop sign and broad-
sided a car with two passengers before run-
ning off an embankment and into a tree.
Two other incidents happened in 2008 and
two more in 2011. His license was perma-
nently suspended in 2011. He also has three
prior convictions for driving on a suspended
license and a couple DUIs.
He knows hes a danger, Wagstaffe said.
To me, thats murder.
Seeking murder convictions in a vehicle-
related death is a less common approach
although a jury last fall found a reportedly
intoxicated driver with DUI convictions guilty
of second-degree murder for a 2009 crash that
killed his passenger.
Prosecutors say Corsiglias case is similar
in that he chose to drive despite knowing he
was putting others at risk of injury or death.
The California Department of Motor
Vehicles has several actions it can take for
drivers with lapses of consciousness and pros-
ecutors say Corsiglia has a le thick with
medical reports, hearings and suspensions.
According to the DMV website, a driver
with petit mal seizures can have no driving
limitations if the condition is stable and con-
trolled. The driver could also be placed on
medical probation or have his or her license
suspended if the condition is not controlled
and could affect the drivers ability to safely
operate a motor vehicle.
Contributing factors include prescribed and
illegal drug use, the drivers reliability and
compliance with a medical regiment and any
history of noncompliance with prior medical
probation.
Corsiglia also cited his seizures as a defense
in other non-vehicular criminal cases,
Wagstaffe said.
In 2004, while on probation for an earlier
domestic violence conviction, Corsiglia was
convicted by a jury of striking his girlfriend
with a telephone receiver. The defense
claimed Corsiglia was unconscious at the time
due to intoxication and seizures, Wagstaffe
said.
Corsiglia received 120 days jail, three years
probation and ordered to attend 104 hours of
domestic violence counseling.
CORSIGLIA
graders there. Overcrowding in Foster City
has been the focus of many conversations for
years and school ofcials say there are also
upgrades needed in San Mateo schools. As a
result, the board was considering placing a
districtwide, $130 million bond measure on
the November ballot. Citing a need to work
with the public about the Bowditch idea
before asking for money, the board unani-
mously decided to postpone putting a measure
on the ballot.
Trustee Colleen Sullivan noted some par-
ents may think the district is again delaying a
possible bond measure. She hoped the delay
would allow time to be sure this is the right
solution.
Trustee Ellen Mallory Ulrich, who has been
against a bond measure for some time, was
relieved at the recommendation to allow for
time to work with the public. In addition,
Ulrich thought it was the wrong time to ask
taxpayers for more money.
Board President Lory Lorimer Lawson
called waiting a gift of time. With such a
busy election, she worried moving forward
this year would create a costly expense for
those trying to educate the local community
about the SCORE suggestion.
Trustees Audrey Ng and Julie Chan both
expressed disappointment in the decision to
wait but understood the reasoning. Chan
added if the board had moved forward, people
would assume the board was adopting the
Bowditch idea without actually discussing it.
Many in the community came forward sup-
porting Simms recommendation.
SCORE member Larry Lowenthal wasnt
surprised by the suggestion to wait.
Its a fantastic idea. Like any seed that you
plant, it needs to be watered. It needs to be
nurtured. It needs to grow. I dont think
you can make this seed rush, he said.
SCORE member Yvonne Ryzak, who made
a presentation last week, again stressed sup-
port for the district but a desire to hold off on
going to the voters.
I too will commit to put everything Ive
got, she said. Give us the time to do it once
and do it right.
The district has long struggled with how to
address and pay for its overcrowding problem.
Voters previously approved Measure L, a
$175 million bond measure in 2008, but it fell
short of the $330 million outlined in the 2007-
08 facilities master plan. Some Measure L
money was put aside to help with the Foster
City growth, specically to purchase land.
Last year, building a fourth elementary
school was the districts focus. Covering the
rest of the cost was to come from a new bond
measure.
Over the last year, the district created a
Special Facilities Improvement District made
up of Foster City residents and placed a $25
million bond on the November 2011 ballot for
only Foster City residents money which
would have been used to fund a fourth ele-
mentary schools construction. The board
pulled the bond last August, nding the move
premature before identifying a new school
site.
Earlier this year, the board considered plac-
ing a measure on the June ballot but pulled
back after public backlash from the districts
interest in purchasing a six-acre shopping cen-
ter located at 1050-1064 Shell Blvd. in Foster
City known as Charter Square. As a result, the
joint city-district effort of SCORE was put
together in hopes of nding a suitable option.

Area purveyor King of Mushrooms,
started the event in 2007. Spanier, 38,
was inspired by his great-uncle who
worked in the ower market in San
Francisco and had the idea to bring all
different people involved in the industry
together once a month for dinner. He
wanted to try the same thing in his
industry, Spanier said.
Its a nice intimate way for people to
have a one-on-one with people from all
aspects of the food industry, Spanier
said.
When it started out, Chefs Lounge
was much smaller than it is today,
Spanier said. He started it upstairs from
his warehouse in Daly City and invited
people from all aspects of his network. It
was just a way to hang out, he said
there was no pressure on anyone to buy
anything from him or anyone else.
Weve had several coffee guys and
hardware type salespeople come in
dressed up to the hilt and were like,
Woah. We stop them at the door,
Spanier said. This isnt about hard sell-
ing here.
In 2008, Spanier had to nd another
warehouse for his business but the new
location didnt work for Chefs Lounge.
So he brought two Bay Area chefs who
were core members of the group, Neil
Marquis of Marquis Catering and
Maurice Dissels of Birks Restaurant in
Santa Clara, into the planning to help
take the event on the road and nd
more locations.
Since then, Chefs Lounge has been
held all around the Bay Area, includ-
ing San Francisco, Belmont and
Livermore. This month, it was hosted
at Greenleaf Produce in San
Francisco, and next month it will be
held at Birks Restaurant.
Its really about just a down-to-earth
casual setting and getting to know peo-
ple on a personal intimate level on the
basis of food and our love and passion
for food, Spanier said.
Once they started spreading the word
about the event online using Evite and
Facebook, Chefs Lounge exploded and
today the Facebook group has more than
600 people, Spanier said. Attendance at
the monthly events can range from 30 to
100 people. Attendees are welcome to
bring food and wine if they want, and
theres a $10 admission fee which helps
with cleanup and gives a little back to
the hosting venue, Spanier said.
Despite the events name, chefs arent
the only people who attend. Spanier said
people from all aspects of the food
industry have attended including wine
producers, artisanal food producers
(some launched their products at Chefs
Lounge) and educators from the
California Culinary Academy. They get
people from all over the Bay Area and
all over the country, he said.
And you dont have to be a profes-
sional to attend Chefs Lounge either
the event is open to anyone with an inter-
est in this kind of atmosphere and meet-
ing people in this industry.
Mariana Pires, 34, attended Chefs
Lounge for the rst time this month with
her mother Gessy Gaspar, the owner of
Gessys Empadaria, a catering business
based out of the East Bay specializing in
Brazilian nger foods, including emped-
inhas and coxinha. They heard about the
event through a friend, Pires said.
We love it, Pires said. Its a lot of
fun. We get to network, we get to try
other foods, get some feedback on our
food, and you cant ask for anything
more ... so all in all a great time.
This wont be their only visit Pires
said they plan to keep coming back to
Chefs Lounge in the future.
Adam Weiner, on the other hand, is no
newcomer to Chefs Lounge. Hes a
culinary arts instructor at JobTrain, a
nonprot in Menlo Park that offers job
training to improve peoples lives in a
variety of fields, including cooking.
Weiner, 55, has been coming to Chefs
Lounge for about a year.
Im always looking for two things:
people to come down and help me train
my students ... and Im always looking
for people who want to hire my stu-
dents, Weiner said. So Im double-dip-
ping.
He likes Chefs Lounge because it
helps him get his students jobs, Weiner
said, and even if he didnt like the event
itself hed keep coming back for his stu-
dents.
Another fan of Chefs Lounge is Julie
Tan, a certied master chef and instruc-
tor at the California Culinary Academy
in San Francisco, as well as a consultant
and recipe developer in the Bay Area.
Tan, 55, rst attended the event about
three years ago. Its an opportunity for
people to look for jobs in the food indus-
try as well as potential employees, she
said.
Its a great way for foodies to get
together, and bring what they have ... its
not just eating, but meeting people, Tan
said.
Right now, Chefs Lounge is still very
grassroots, but the goal is for it to have a
website and be more organized, Spanier
said, and to have other events outside of
the Chefs Lounge in the future. People
involved in Chefs Lounge here who
then moved out of state have even talked
about creating their own Chefs Lounge
events, Spanier said.
Though Chefs Lounge has grown
beyond what Spanier expected when he
started it, the original goal still remains.
Its just about rejoicing in the love
and passion for food, Spanier said.
Thats why we all do this.
LOUNGE
parks ofcials to underreport nearly $54
million in two of those funds.
Lawmakers also discussed additional
oversight measures, including establish-
ing a special fund committee, new
reporting practices and increased com-
munication between the controller and
nance.
The governors finance department
reviewed the 560 funds last week and
found no other instances of hidden
money. However it did nd discrepan-
cies, sometimes in the hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars, in the amount reported
to it and the state controllers ofce by
different government departments.
During the Legislatures first for-
mal inquiry into the scandal,
Democrats and Republicans suggest-
ed that audit was not enough.
Finance Director Ana Matosantos sat
stony-faced as the members of the
Assembly Budget Subcommittee On
Budget Process, Oversight and Program
Evaluation expressed their concerns
about the special funds, which receive
about $38 billion in revenue every year.
Short of a forensic audit, I dont
know that you all are in a position to say
without a doubt that theres no other
money out there, said Holly Mitchell,
D-Los Angeles.
The revelation of the hidden money
has Democratic lawmakers nervous
about their chances of passing a ballot
measure in November that would
increase taxes. On Thursday,
Republican lawmakers drew links
between the special fund inquiry and the
proposed tax hike.
Were losing public trust; were ask-
ing them for money, were cutting pro-
grams, and weve lost trust, said
Assemblywoman Diane Harkey.
The Dana Point Republican later
called the scandal an embarrassment
for California.
Several lawmakers questioned the
department of nances ability to audit
its own practices objectively.
Jason Sisney, deputy legislative ana-
lyst, said most of the discrepancies in
special fund balances were due to
reporting practices and in some cases
sloppiness, but not concealment. He
emphasized that his ofce, like other
agencies, relies on the department of
nance for reliable numbers.
Gov. Jerry Brown rejected the notion
that a crisis of faith in government could
cause voters to reject his tax hike
intended to help fund education. Voters
will be balancing pocketbook matters
with their concern for school funding,
he said during an appearance near Los
Angeles.
People get to choose, he said. Its
not a question of your condence or
not.
FUNDS
FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 2012
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be friendly and cordial to
everybody, but avoid getting too deeply involved with
any one person. Friendships are a bit fragile at pres-
ent, and it wont take much to shatter a close bond.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- When it comes to deal-
ing with people whose aims are a bit different than
yours, things could quickly get a bit touchy and erupt
into full-blown unpleasantness.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Youre likely to have a
tendency to promise one thing but do quite another.
Take all your commitments very seriously, so you
wont have to make both alibis and amends.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If youre going to take
any gambles, do so in areas that youre very familiar
with. The odds might be outlandishly against you in
murky or untested situations.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When you allow
your logical qualities to supersede your feelings, you
can be a pretty good judge of character. Today, how-
ever, your emotions could be calling all the shots.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Have someone
check your work if you have to perform a tedious
mental assignment. The more facts and fgures in-
volved, the more chances there are to make mistakes.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Regardless of what
your better judgment is telling you to do, you are
likely to ignore it and do something rather foolish that
will be both costly and counterproductive.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Instead of being more
persistent when challenged, you might buckle under
pressure. Have the courage of your convictions.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Impatience could be
your worst enemy if youre not careful. Dont allow
yourself to get angry just because colleagues dont
immediately go along with your plans.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be extra mindful of
your possessions or resources. If you leave valuables
unguarded, it could easily tempt certain people who
have sticky fngers to latch onto some of them.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Continuity of purpose
is essential if you hope to achieve your objectives.
Dont think you can accomplish your goals or hit your
target with a series of lucky shots.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Do not put on any airs
and affectations, or boast about things youve never
accomplished. Your creditability will be dashed if your
story is checked out and found to be untrue.

By Elizabeth A. Kennedy
BEIRUT As Syrian forces strug-
gled to drive rebels from the countrys
largest city, the regimes key ally Iran
tried Thursday to start an alternative
political process to address the crisis.
Iran gathered an array of nations rang-
ing from strong supporters of Damascus
to far-ung nations a world away from
the Syrian civil war.
The one-day forum is unlikely to
result in any international consensus, but
it shows Irans resolve to stand by
President Bashar Assad as his forces try
to crush the 17-month-old uprising.
On Thursday, Syrian rebels said they
were low on ammunition but still man-
aged to put up resistance against a
regime ground offensive in the city of
Aleppo, a center of ghting for more
than two weeks.
Tehran billed Thursdays conference
as a way to focus on dialogue an
alternative to Western-led initiatives that
call for Assad to give up power.
Iran has said in the past that the Syrian
regimes critics fail to take into account
violence by the rebels.
Iran is against the killing of unarmed
people and citizens by any side, Iranian
Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said
at the gathering.
He also warned that sending weapons
to the opposition will only fuel the crisis,
and he accused rebels of using civilians
as human shields.
Syrian rebels last week intercepted a
bus carrying 48 Iranians in a Damascus
suburb and seized them. Rebels claimed
the men are military personnel, includ-
ing some members of Irans powerful
Revolutionary Guard, who were on a
reconnaissance mission to help
Assads crackdown.
Iran, however, says the 48 were pil-
grims visiting a Shiite shrine in
Damascus. Salehi said Wednesday that
some of the pilgrims are retired mem-
bers of the army and Revolutionary
Guard.
The overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim
rebels have also seized 11 Lebanese
Shiite pilgrims who have been held in
northern Syria since May.
Salehi said some 30 countries attended
the meeting, including Russia and
China, as well as far-off Benin, Cuba
and Mauritania. The meeting was called
at short notice, and most countries were
represented at the ambassador level.
Russia in the past has urged the West
to allow Tehran to take part in interna-
tional discussions on how to settle the
Syrian crisis, arguing that the Islamic
republic could play an important role.
Moscow has been the main protector and
ally of Assads regime, shielding it from
U.N. sanctions over its brutal crackdown
on an uprising that has evolved into a
full-blown civil war.
The U.S. dismissed the Iranian gather-
ing.
Iran tries to calm Syria crisis
Heavy rain hits as Ernesto
makes landfall in Mexico
By Miguel Angel Hernandez
VERACRUZ, Mexico Tropical Storm Ernesto made land-
fall Thursday near the port city of Coatzacoalcos and moved
inland while drenching Mexicos southern Gulf, an area prone
to ooding.
Ernesto came ashore after spinning across the far southern
Gulf of Mexico in waters dotted with oil rigs operated by the
state oil company. The government closed its largest Gulf coast
port, Veracruz, and the smaller ports of Alvarado and
Coatzacoalcos.
Coatzacoalcos, a major oil port, already had gotten seven
inches (177 millimeters) of rain in the 24 hours before Ernestos
center passed just a few miles (kilometers) away, according to
Mexicos weather service. San Pedro in the neighboring state of
Tabasco had seen more than 10 inches (273 millimeters).
Its raining intermittently. It rains, its stops, and then it rains
again, said Juventino Martinez, the civil defense chief in
Coatzacoalcos. We have some ooding, some water building
up on streets in lower-lying sections of the city. He said 40
shelters were ready but hadnt been used yet.
Municipal employee Brito Gomez reported water was waist
high in some neighborhoods.
About 2,000 army and navy personnel were on stand-by to
head to inland mountains to help in rescue work if needed, said
Noemi Guzman, Veracruz state civil defense director. Guzman
said no ooding had been reported so far at any of the states
many rivers.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said the storms sus-
tained winds had declined to about 45 mph (75 kph) by early
evening as it interacted with land.
Sinai buildup shifts tenet of Egypt-Israel peace
CAIRO Egyptian troops, light tanks, armored vehicles
and attack helicopters are pouring into the Sinai desert to root
out increasingly aggressive Islamic militants in the most sig-
nicant easing to date of a key provision in the landmark 1979
peace treaty with Israel: The demilitarization of the peninsula.
For more than 30 years, Egyptian soldiers with heavy
weapons were virtually banned from much of Sinai to create a
buffer between the longtime enemies. Now, Israel has green-
lighted the surge in hopes militants on its doorstep will be
defeated.
