By Adam Weintraub

Ed Morey runs his business out of his Belmont home.His home ofce also doubles as a family fun room.He prefers working from home for the exible hours and the extra time he gets to spend with his wife and children.

Want to be your own boss?


More and more people are choosing to work from home
Five tips for starting your own business
Get free help: You should enlist the support of others. Find service partners willing to invest their time for a piece of the ventures future income instead of upfront cash.The same person who would laugh you out of their ofce if you asked for a $2,500 investment may gladly trade $2,500 worth of services for a small piece of ownership in a promising new venture. Why? Like you, most people are looking for an opportunity to get ahead without risking too much.If someone can invest a little of their time with the hopes of making a huge return,they may jump at the chance. Make small bets: In the investing world, everyone talks about risk tolerance a measure that determines how psychologically comfortable you are with the possibility of losing money.This is good to know, but more critical is knowing your risk capacity that is, how much money can you afford to lose without it destroying your nances and your ability to pay the rent? Start small and start slowly. Immediately committing thousands of dollars to an idea is as ridiculous as walking up to a girl youve never met and asking her to marry you.You need to put a little out there and get a little back.Then you can put a little more out there and hopefully get a little more back. Negotiate ercely: You must be relentless about getting what you need. You dont have the luxury of a six-gure budget.Youve got to get your ventures up and running as cheaply as you can. One way to minimize risk is to negotiate everything. Dont accept anything as is. Negotiate discounts, concessions, bonuses, terms, etc. It will feel awkward at rst,but keep practicing. Limit liability: If you are producing a product or providing a service that could lead you to get sued,you must protect yourself against lawsuits by incorporating and by having the proper liability insurance.Dont risk nancial disaster by failing to shield your personal assets from your business assets. Keep your day job (at least for now): Its important to have that steady and predictable income during the day while you swing for the fences at night.

SACRAMENTO A California legislative committee on Wednesday narrowly approved a bill that would give state ofcials the power to reject proposed health insurance rate increases, but even some supporters said it will need major changes to survive. The Senate Health Committee voted 5-3 along party lines to advance the bill, AB52, with Democrats in favor and Republicans opposed. It will go before another committee before coming to the full Senate. The debate has implications across the United States. California regulations have national inuence and the state, home to one in eight Americans, makes up 11 percent of the national market for those with health insurance through an employer and 15 percent of those with individual coverage.

More people are taking their nancial futures into their own hands by starting their own home-based businesses. Some do it for exibility and others do it perhaps because there is no boss to answer to. Whatever the reason, the trend is growing. Locally, the San Mateo Area Chamber of Commerce reports that more of its members now work from home, including graphic designers, information technology specialists, life coaches, technical writers, consultants and many more. Home-based companies are a vital part of San Mateos business community, said Linda Asbury, the chambers chief executive ofcer.

Report: Airport noise needs more attention


Grand jury claims enthusiasm waning on oversight group
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Ofcials need to put more effort into monitoring airport noise, beginning with greater participation in the San Francisco International Airport Roundtable, according to the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury. In a report released yesterday, the civil grand jury concluded the roundtables effectiveness has diminished and participation and enthusiasm has similarly declined. Daly City, the jurisdiction most impacted by noise and vibrations, withdrew from the roundtable completely because of budget restraints, the Board of Supervisors representative has been absent since

tion. You was elected to the two-year term of office at the a s s o c i a t i o n s 112th annual convention in Long Beach this spring. Its like pres-

ident in training, You said. You spent 14 years in the medical eld. Her volunteer work grew to a point in which it is now her main focus. Her new role means four additional years on the state board, two as president-elect and soon enough as president. I am honored to work with an association that does so much to

improve the lives of children every day, You said. Im excited to dedicate myself to PTAs work on all issues that affect the whole child, including education, health, safe communities and parent engagement. Its especially rewarding to me to support and mentor emerging PTA leaders to help them to work even more

effectively on all these issues. Many people associate PTAs with fundraising, which is one aspect of what local groups do. You wants Californians to use the PTA as a goto for information about issues facing children since the organization works to build local leaders while advocating for youngsters and edu-

Strange but True


Duped: Big California gold nugget actually Aussie
NEVADA CITY A 6.2-pound hunk of gold was auctioned for nearly half a million dollars in March after a man claimed to have found it on his Sierra Nevada property, but it turns out to it was actually dug up decades earlier in Australia. Australian prospector Murray Cox compared pictures of the Washington Nugget that sold for $460,000 in March with The Orange Roughie he unearthed near Melbourne in 1987. They were an exact match. Last year, a man named Jim Sanders claimed to have unearthed the chunk on his property. The men who auctioned the nugget for Sanders said they investigated after Cox came forward and agreed it was from Australia. The buyer was reimbursed and the gold was sold to another bidder from the March auction. and air conditioning systems.

Police in Vernal, Utah, received a letter from Joseph Dominic Ferraro, who was awaiting trial on an unrelated case in Oregon but had information about the crime, according to court documents. The documents say he provided specic details of where York bought the smoothie and the antifreeze. The biological father of Yorks teenage daughter also told investigators that the girl told him about the man they were living with and how they planned to knock him off. Ferraro said he came forward with the information after York drained his bank accounts and sold both of his cars while he was in jail. He said she told him she planned to obtain power of attorney over Zurbuchens nancial records, then kill him. Authorities say they questioned York again in late June after receiving the letter and she admitted to poisoning Zurbuchen. She claimed she only did it because she wanted him to stop being mean to her children. When Zurbuchen was taken to a hospital after drinking the smoothie, He suffered from dizziness, speech problems and numbness on his face, authorities said. Tests determined he ingested ethylene glycol, the main ingredient in antifreeze. At the time, York acknowledged giving Zurbuchen the smoothie but denied putting antifreeze in it, and police didnt have enough to charge her.

Restaurant surveillance footage appears to show art thief suspect


BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

A well-known San Francisco restaurant might have surveillance video of a thief who walked into a Union Square art gallery on Tuesday morning and walked out with a Picasso drawing worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Lefty ODouls restaurant is next door to the main showroom of the Weinstein Gallery, located at the corner of Geary and Powell streets, where the thief took the sketch at about 11:40 a.m. Tuesday before getting in a taxicab, according to the gallery and police. Leftys owner Nick Bovis, also the owner of Burlingames Broadway Grill, said that when he learned Tuesday night that a distinctively dressed man had walked out with a 1965 Picasso sketch called Tete de Femme, he checked his tapes and quickly homed in on a suspect. Weve never seen anything like it, he said. The footage shows a man in a grayish jacket and light pants walking briskly but casually at 11:39 a.m. away from Weinsteins and toward the Handlery Hotel, which had a line of taxicabs waiting a few doors down from Leftys. The footage is time-stamped at 12:12 p.m., but Bovis said his cameras clock is 33 minutes fast. The man in the shot is carrying something framed in his left arm and wearing loafers but no socks a key part of the suspect description obtained by police. Investigators reviewed the footage this morning but declined to comment on it. Bovis said police downloaded it from his hard drive and planned to use it in their search. It appears it could be our suspect, police spokesman Ofcer Albie Esparza said. The description is similar and hes holding art, obviously, but not until we arrest him can we say thats the guy were looking for.

REUTERS FILE PHOTO

The FBI and Homeland Security Department sent a memo to security ofcials around the country warning of people surgically implanting explosives in their bodies.
PHOTO COURTESY OF LEFTY ODOULS

Witnesses described the thief as a white man about 6 feet tall,between 32 and 35 years old, wearing a dark jacket, light shirt, dark pants, loafers with no socks and large sunglasses.
Bovis said he installed the surveillance cameras a few years ago when someone stole the left arm of the restaurants mascot, a mannequin dressed as left-handed pitcher Lefty ODoul. I put up the camera to catch an arm thief and got someone stealing a Picasso, he said. Witnesses originally described the thief as a white man about 6 feet tall, between 32 and 35 years old, wearing a dark jacket, light shirt, dark pants, loafers with no socks and large sunglasses, Esparza said. Anyone with information about the theft is asked to call San Francisco police at (415) 575-4444, text a tip to TIP411, or call 911.

Alert says terrorists look to implant bombs in humans


By Eileen Sullivan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Airlines are being warned by the government that terrorists are considering surgically hiding bombs inside humans to evade airport security. As a result, travelers may nd themselves subjected to more scrutiny when ying in the heart of summer vacation season, especially to the U.S. from abroad. The FBI and Homeland Security Department sent a memo to security ofcials around the country on Wednesday about body packing, describing it as a criminal tactic with possible terrorist application. The memo, obtained by the Associated Press, cited a 2005 incident in which Colombian men were accused of surgically implanting narcotics into human couriers. The memo offered possible indicators of surgically implanted contraband, including a distended stomach or other unusual bulging, and visible physical discomfort from a pat-down. Bombs-in-the-body is not a new idea, but recent intelligence indicates a fresh interest in using this method. People-scanning machines in airports arent able to detect explosives hidden inside humans. Still, there is no current information that points to a specic plot involving surgically implanted explosives, a U.S. security ofcial said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss such sensitive matters. As airport security has increased since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, so has the terrorists creativity in developing methods to get around it. Aviation continues to be a special target, and evidence from Osama bin Ladens compound showed that the al-Qaida leader retained his fascination with attacking airplanes until his death in May. Last year, it was reported that British ofcials uncovered intelligence that al-Qaida was seek-

ing to surgically implant bombs inside people, a move some believed was prompted by the use of full-body imaging machines at major airports around the world. This is something weve been concerned about for quite some time, said J. Bennet Waters, a security consultant with the Washington, D.C.-based Chertoff Group and a former Transportation Security Administration ofcial in the Bush administration. The U.S. government has been working with foreign air carriers and governments to identify ways to discover hidden explosives, including bombs potentially hidden inside of humans. Ofcials did not want to discuss specic security measures under consideration so as not to tip off terrorists who could seek ways to get around them. Once a terrorist nds a willing suicide bomber, secures the explosive material and makes the bomb, carrying off this tactic is not that difcult, said Chris Ronay, a former chief of the FBI explosives unit. Its rather easy and the damage could be rather severe, Ronay said. Surgery to implant explosives could be done a couple of days before a planned attack, said James Crippin, an explosives expert in Colorado. In order for it to work, there would need to be a detonation device, and its conceivable that if the explosive was implanted in a womans breast, the detonator could be underneath the breast so that all the operative would have to do is press downward, Crippin said. But Jimmie C. Oxley, a chemistry professor at the University of Rhode Island and explosives expert, said it would be tough to carry out such an effort successfully. She said there are only so many places to hide a bomb in the body, and a suicide bomber would have to recover enough from the surgery to travel and set off the device. public entities follow requirements to post agendas and to disclose any actions taken. If approved by two-thirds of the Legislature, Senate Constitutional Amendment 7 would go before voters during the next statewide ballot. The state Legislature has approved Senate Bill 445 by state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, to provide 21st century privacy protections for California library patrons. Californias library privacy laws were created before the use of the Internet. As a result, an individuals interaction with the library outside of the typical library book circulation is not protected under current law. The change in law was suggested by one of Simitians constituents through his annual There Oughta Be A Law contest. Cupertino resident and library law consultant Mary Minow submitted her winning entry after attending one of Simitians Town Hall meetings.

Obama takes on tweeters As GOP shows flexibility,

Obama adopts hard tone


By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON So much for 140 characters or less. A president, it seems, gets to respond to a tweet on his own terms. President Barack Obama got an avalanche of questions on Wednesday at a town hall forum through Twitter, the popular social media service. Of the many thousands that streamed in, he answered 18 in a familiar, spoken explanatory style that well-exceeded the limited length of a tweet. Obamas rst answer, to a question on mistakes made in handling the recession, was relatively short by his standards. It still amounted to about 2,300 characters 2,160 longer than a tweet can be. I know, Twitter, Im supposed to be short, Obama conceded in the midst of another multilayered response about college costs. The White House had warned this might happen. Hes the leader of the free world, presidential spokesman Jay Carney said. He decides how short his answers will be. No one seemed that concerned. The broader image was one of a president up for re-election and eager to connect directly with those using the ever-popular communication site, especially younger voters whose enthusiasm will be vital to his bid for another term. So let history show Obama was the rst president to host a Twitter town hall at the White House. He made little news over the course of about an hour, but that wasnt his point.

Barack Obama reacts after tweeting at his rst ever Twitter Town Hall in the East Room at the White House in Washington,D.C.
Obama wanted to get in touch with people outside Washington, promote his agenda, prod Congress and embrace the fast-moving online conversation site that is increasingly seen as a home of national buzz. The event drew enormous interest on Twitter. Questions streamed in long after the event had nished. The president started by sending out what he called his rst live tweet by using a laptop set up on a lectern. How about that, Obama declared to his East Room audience and those watching on TV or online. His tweet set the tone of the economic discussion. Obama asked followers what they would cut, and what spending they would protect, to trim the decit (the debate that has Washingtons divided government in a stalemate.) For the purposes of Twitter, the White House made Obama briefer than he was. Overall, the town hall felt much like one Obama has had many times since taking ofce. Even a familiar critic got his voice heard. Twitter selected the questions for the president, and one was from House Speaker John Boehner, who asked Obama, After embarking on a record spending binge that left us deeper in debt, where are the jobs? This is a slightly skewed question, Obama said of his political rivals inquiry. The president went on to answer Boehners question by noting that the economy is creating jobs, though not at a fast enough pace.

WASHINGTON As a top House Republican signaled new exibility on White House demands to close wasteful or ineffective tax loopholes, President Barack Obama responded with some of his harshest political rhetoric to date in advance of a Thursday negotiating session on the budget. Wednesdays salvo came hours after House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., opened the door to closing wasteful or unfair tax loopholes in the battle over a must-pass proposal to increase the governments borrowing authority. Obama suggested that Republicans are using the debt limit measure as a gun against the heads of Americans to retain breaks for corporate jet owners or oil and gas companies. If the president wants to talk loopholes, well be glad to talk loopholes, Cantor said, adding that revenues raised from those revisions should be coupled with offsetting tax cuts somewhere else. Shortly thereafter, at a White House Twitter town hall, Obama red a sharp response. It was far more partisan than the language he used Tuesday to invite top lawmakers in both parties to the White House to move the budget talks forward. Theyve been stalled since a bipartisan group led by Vice President Joe Biden broke up last month after Republicans declared an impasse on taxes. The debt ceiling should not be something that is used as a gun against the heads of the American

people to extract tax breaks for corporate jet owners or oil and gas companies that are making billions of dollars, Obama said. Im happy to have those debates. I think the American people are on my side on this. Obama is seeking to reduce the decit, in part, through new tax revenue raised by closing loopholes and tax subsidies. Among the examples the White House cites are tax benets for companies that buy corporate jets. He also has called for ending subsidies to oil and gas companies, a proposal that would generate about $40 billion in revenue over 10 years. At the same time, Cantors comments reflected important, if nuanced, exibility for Republicans. His earlier position was that closing loopholes should wait for a comprehensive overhaul of the tax code. Cantor declined to specify what tax cuts should be nanced by any new loophole-related revenues. He declined to rule out using them to extend expiring tax cuts, such as a credit for new research and development thats popular with businesses.

Teen arraigned in royals death


The 18-year-old East Palo Alto woman accused of causing the fatal crash that claimed two members of the Tongan royal family is a lovely former honor roll student who is apologetic and emotional, according to the defense attorney who entered a not guilty plea on her behalf the week of July 8, 2006 to three counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence. Calling the crash an unfathomable tragedy, defense attorney Randy Moore nonetheless said he believed his client, Edith Delgado, was not guilty of the charges. Prince Tuipelehake, 55, and his wife Princess Kaimana, 45, were in a red Ford Explorer when another car collided with it on northbound Highway 101 near Marsh Road in Menlo Park. Tuipelehake was the nephew of 88-year-old King Taufaahau Tupou IV who maintained a home in Hillsborough. The couples driver, Vinisia Hefa, 36, of East Palo Alto, was also killed during the crash.

Former mayor gets 45 days jail


Former San Carlos Mayor Mike King was sentenced the week of July 8, 2006 to 45 days in jail for defrauding the South County Fire Authority of more than $13,000 to repay a campaign debt but a judge stayed the term pending an appeal. King dropped his head slightly when Judge Barbara Mallach said she felt jail was appropriate but otherwise appeared stoic during the sentencing hearing. After denying a defense request to reduce Kings two felony convictions to misdemeanors, Mallach imposed two concurrent 45 day sentences half that recommended by the probation report which could be served through the Sheriffs Work Program. After a two-week trial, a jury convicted King April 18 of defrauding the South County Fire Authority of $13,300 to pay Peg Collier for political consulting work.

Who Are private HEROES ? How Firefighters Set Example


By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Firefighters are public HEROES! In the way that members of our Military travel to foreign war zones and risks their own lives in the name of preventing terrorism and in the way our Police Officers enter a sketchy part of town to apprehend suspects whove harmed others and may do more harm the same goes for our Firefighters who are trained to enter potentially explosive situations to prevent the spread of fires and rescue those caught in hazardous peril. These public HEROES touch our lives on a daily basis, most times without our knowledge. Our general safety and well-being can be attributed to the day to day actions of our public HEROES. With the recent joint-funeral for the two San Francisco Firefighters who died in the line of duty it is important to acknowledge their lives and say thank you. These public HEROES had a natural inclination to help others above their own selves. Their efforts to serve the public were of great value, and that value is to be remembered and admired. Just like we learn from the funerals of our public HEROES, we can learn from the funerals of those who have touched our personal lives our private HEROES. Family, friends, local acquaintances and even those we know of but dont know personally have the ability to affect us in ways we may not be consciously aware. We ourselves also have the potential to affect the lives of others in ways were not aware. A single act of kindness; the opening of a door; a caring gesture; a supportive word; an offer to help; volunteering in a service club; etc. all set examples for others to emulate and absorb as a part of their own life-experience. Both public HEROES and private HEROES enrich our lives and help us as individuals to be little bit better. When ever we attend a funeral (the deceased being present) or memorial (the deceased not being present) we always learn about how the deceased affected the lives of others. Also, our attendance not only shows the family that we care, but in a positive way can affect the familys healing process. To us what may seem a small caring gesture may be an enormous life moment to the person we are affecting. We never know how we affect the lives of others but its a fact that we do so every day. These kind acts, unconscious and conscious, along with other small acts potentially make us each a private HERO in the eyes of those weve affected. It doesnt matter how minor youve touched somebodys life it matters that they were able to take something away and enrich their own life with your kind act. Just like public HEROES whose actions affect our daily well-being, private HEROES have the power to positively affect the lives of their family, friends, and those they interact with on a daily basis. When our work on earth is done and our lives conclude we each can be remembered as a private HERO for the way we touched the lives of those weve left behind. If you ever wish to discuss cremation, funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650) 588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you in a fair and helpful manner.

The future of the U.S.Postal Service


Florida Times-Union, Jacksonville

Star power
email or Facebook or Twitter for personal correspondence. Its free, and the message gets there immediately. Friends can correspond back and forth several times in the time that it takes for a single piece of traditional mail to arrive at its destination. ... Why not privatize the Postal Service? Sell it. Give it away. If necessary, pay somebody to take it. ... A truly private board could make decisions based on efciency, without interference from politicians who pander for votes in a way that runs up the services decits. They might keep the service solvent until sometime in the future when it really no longer is needed. ex Walheim is scheduled to reach for the stars tomorrow. The NASA astronaut with Peninsula roots belongs to the crew of the Atlantis, the nal shuttle set to launch Friday morning in the historic journey that ends this chapter of the American space program. Before the Atlantis crew was named, Id never recognize Rex Walheim as either an astronaut or a San Carlos hometown boy. Perhaps this shows that unless an astronaut was among the originals with the Right Stuff, one of the 15 who died or sadly one that went a little crazy and stalked a love rival, their names melt into the oblivion of public consciousness. The space program, once so vaunted and awe-inspiring, doesnt have individual celebrities in the same way as an athletic team or band. Ask the average person to name a space cowboy and dont be surprised if they instead more easily recall Lance Bass aborted orbital training or Sir Richard Bransons private efforts. Astronaut is the quintessential childhood dream yet the adults who actually reach the goal arent necessarily the rst role models or idols that spring to mind. The shuttle itself takes center stage, leaving the astronauts without instant recognition outside of a prelaunch media blitz. Yet, these men and woman are amazing. We should all know their names and how they reached this pinnacle; we should all care that they depart and arrive back on Earth safely. This plea to give folks like astronauts more respect and acknowledgment than say a Kardashian or a professional athlete isnt new. The advent of the nal launch just gives it a little more weight, especially when future space travelers wont even have their own craft with which to draw attention. Maybe thats why the idea one of these few grew up in our own backyard is, for lack of a more mature and weighty description, cool. We may not know him, we may not have even heard his name before, but suddenly his birth in Redwood City and his claims to San Carlos make Rex Walheim a little more attainable. Plus, Walheim has given the cities and San Mateo County a bit of cachet. These are the schools that put him on the right educational path. These are the stores he visited, the people he looked up to, the parks where he may have shot off a model rocket or two. He probably rode Caltrain and maybe watched reworks in either Foster City or Redwood City, seeing sparkles in the night sky long before he became its visitor. Did he eat breakfast at the now-shuttered Vics or spend a summer weekend at any of the numerous Peninsula festivals? The short window between learning of Walheims San Carlos ties and liftoff tomorrow meant he wasnt available for some rst-hand perspective on his history and the mission at hand. I must be content with ofcial biographies and passed along trivia like his place in San Carlos history and that he brought a San Carlos ag on a previous mission. Who knew San Carlos even had a ag? Who knew it would go where most men and women never will? What I do know is these very human traits make people like Walheim seem very down to earth. These tidbits are what make kids in school trying to gure out their life plans realize they, too, might just be able to follow the same path. If the guy who can pick Laurel Street out on a map can achieve so much, so can any number of others. The space program as we know it will be grounded after Walheims trip on Atlantis but that doesnt mean he and the others cant keep inspiring future generations. If these generations feel a connection to these mentors, chances are probably greater theyll give a little more consideration to math and science and the idea there is more to success than reality shows and dot-com startups. On Friday, Rex Walheim and his fellow astronauts will once again reach for the stars. And down here on Earth, those with the same dream will know they can too.

federal money or going out of business. The services problem is that it uses an archaic technology that some day no longer will be needed. The gures speak for themselves: In 2000, 80 percent of household bills were paid by traditional mail. But the number paying electronically has quadrupled since then. Some day, sooner than some may think, only a few people will use the mail for paying their bills. And, of course, most people already use

The service ran a decit of more than $8 billion last year, and this year is expected to be no better. It cannot keep running huge decits for long without either getting a big infusion of

Letters to the editor


Thank goodness for New York
Editor, Now that the state of New York has made it legal to have same-sex marriages, we can congratulate them for their progressive leadership, being the fth state in the union to pass such a law. Unfortunately, our supposedly progressive state of California is not yet among them. The only near stumbling block in the path for New York legislators was the strong resistance to the passage of this law by the states Christian churches and other religious organizations. These religious institutions had no intention of easing up on their program of discrimination. Thank goodness the New York Legislature was able to work out an accommodation for these religious organizations.

Recuperative but not remunerative


Editor, Maybe sleeping at work without pay should be a condition of employment, just as police ofcers and parole agents have to carry rearms as a condition of employment. Overtime pay to sleep just doesnt seem rational (Fire contract splits council on its budget in the June 29 edition of the Daily Journal). The nature of the job and its requirement require exibility, and yes, uninterrupted sleep is one of those costs that may be surrendered in this occupation. It is time to modify future retirement benets increase employee contributions, reduce benets or increase employee contribution to receive those benets, and stop allowing employees to bank more than 15 days of sick time or vacation time. Government employees should have to serve a minimum of 20 years to be invested in the pension (much like the military) and then the pension should not kick in until age 62 or 65 (in the manner of Social Security). The gives retired workers up to 15 years to contribute additional quarters into Social Security even if the Windfall Elimination Provision kicks in. Those employees with less than 20 years of service can cash out their contribution, but the states contribution stays in the PERS/STIRS. Dont forget Gov. Jerry Brown in his second term compelled government rank-andle to join unions or pay a portion of dues in lieu to a designated nonprot organization. Of course, the state is required to withhold the union dues from the employees paycheck to reduce the free rider problem awarding unions greater control over membership.

Fotis twice-monthly hate mail (Dark Days Ahead letter to the editor in the June 30 edition of the Daily Journal) limited, thankfully, by the Daily Journals editorial policy I am left with the following thought: Foti hates freedom, hates America and is patently un-Christian, both in thought and deed. Shame on this sorry fool, but kudos to the Daily Journal for keeping his right to free speech alive.

Spare us from Foti


Editor, I cant believe you allowed the moron Ross Foti to libel the gay and lesbian people in your audience with his religious drivel (Dark Days Ahead letter to the editor in the June 30 edition of the Daily Journal). If my recollection is correct from earlier nonsense of his you have published, he is apparently a rabid Catholic, making him a devotee of what seems to be the worlds oldest and largest pedophile organization. If he wants to rail about something and do some good, he should start with his church. I dont suppose there is any use in pointing out to him that the existence of his god has never been proven, that gay people do not choose their orientation, that the world is dying from over population (dark days indeed), that the United States has never been a Christian country, and that the sanctity of marriage only lasts about half the time. It has been my experience that those with that much energy on the issue of gay marriage more often than not have some unnished business with their own orientation. I am amazed that you actually published his arrogant and bigoted screed. Please spare us from more of the bile from this seriously ignorant person.

Don Havis San Mateo

Whats fair
Editor, Fairness, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Is it fair that one person becomes ill while another does not? Is it fair that a person is better at something than another? Is it fair to penalize either? Was it fair that a minority group, the Republicans, kept with its principles by standing up to the majority group, the Democrats? Thank goodness another minority group, the gay community, did the same thing or else we would not be trying to get an Equal Marriage Act passed. Is it fair that we were not allowed to vote for tax extensions? Would it be fair if we could not vote on other ideas such as pension reform, collective bargaining, spending cap, tort reform or a at tax? Do not think that your concept of fairness represents anothers concept of fairness. That would be unfair.

The Institute for Supply Management reported Wednesday that business growth slowed at U.S. service providers in June. Financial companies and health care providers reported the weakest results. On the positive side, June marked the 19th consecutive month of growth at service companies, which employ the majority of American workers. U.S. stocks opened mixed after a broad sell-off in Europe and another interest rate hike in China. Major banks fell sharply after Moodys lowered Portugals credit rating to junk status late Tuesday. That raised fresh concerns about the strength of the European financial system and investment banks exposure to possible bond defaults. Bank of America Corp. lost 2.4 percent. JPMorgan Chase dropped 1.2 percent. Some investors were surprised that stock indexes held up after the weak economic report.

Auto industry seeing new life


By Dee-Ann Durbin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT Volkswagen opened a plant in Tennessee last month with 2,000 workers. Honda is hiring 1,000 in Indiana to meet demand for its best-selling Civic. General Motors is looking for 2,500 in Detroit to build the Chevy Volt. Two years after the end of the Great Recession, the auto industry is hiring again and much faster than the rest of the economy. As an employer, its growing faster than airplane manufacturers, shipbuilders, health care providers and the federal government. The hiring spree is even more remarkable because memories of the U.S. auto industrys near-death experience are fresh. In 2009, General Motors and Chrysler both got government bailouts and entered bankruptcy, and auto sales

hit a 30-year low. In June of that year, about 623,000 people were employed by the auto industry in the United States, the fewest since the early 1980s. Now the gure is almost 700,000, a 12 percent increase. Sales are back up, too, and automakers are hiring by the thousands to meet increased demand. The buzz is incredible around here about what opportunity were going to get if we can build a great product, says Ben Edwards, who went to work for Volkswagen in Chattanooga, Tenn., last year and is now a team leader on an assembly line that installs tires and seats. Edwards was working as a general contractor until the housing market dried up. He says the pay at Volkswagen, which starts at $14.50 an hour, is fair and the benets are generous. Besides hiring 2,000 people itself, Volkswagen gures the plant, where it

will make its new Passat, will create 9,000 spin-off jobs in the region, including 500 at auto-supplier plants that are springing up nearby. Automakers are hiring again because car sales are rising. Americans bought 10.4 million cars and trucks in 2009 and 11.6 million in 2010. This year, theyre on track to buy 13 million or more, and auto companies are adding shifts to meet the demand. Everybody got so lean and mean during the downturn that theyre trying to rebuild staff, says Charles Chesbrough, a senior economist with IHS Automotive. The auto industrys 12 percent increase in jobs compares with a 0.2 percent gain for the economy as a whole, excluding farming and adjusted for seasonal variation, since June 2009. The Labor Department reports Friday on jobs gained or lost last month.

NEW YORK Quick on the heels of Googles launch of its latest social-networking venture, Facebook said Wednesday that its 750 million users will now be able to make video calls on the site. The feature will be powered by the Internet phone service Skype. Facebook also redesigned its chat feature, so that the people a user messages the most

often show up rst. To make video calls, Facebook users with webcam-equipped computers have to select the friends they want to chat with. In the chat window that pops up, clicking on a small blue video icon brings up the video chat feature. Currently there is no option to video chat more than one person. That feature is available on Google Plus, a social service that Google began testing last week with a small number of invited users. Facebook is also adding a group chat option. This works much the same way

as the group chat on Google Plus. Once you are chatting with one friend, you can click an icon to add more people to the conversation. Facebooks new products come after a relatively quiet period for the worlds largest online social network. Zuckerberg, 26, said the company is embarking on launching season 2011.

Visa sees debit card rules slowing growth in 2012


NEW YORK Visa Inc. on Wednesday said it still expects its revenue to increase as much as 15 percent and its earnings to rise more than 20 percent this year. But it warned that growth will slow in 2012 after new regulations on the fees banks can charge for debit card transactions kick in. The San Francisco payments network operator repeated an earlier forecast for its current scal year, which ends Sept. 30, for revenue growth between 11 percent and 15 percent and earnings-per-

The company expects earnings-per-share growth to slow to the mid-to-high teens. Analysts, on average, were forecasting 11 percent revenue growth and 16 percent earnings growth for 2012.

WOLFSBURG, Germany The Americans cant do things the easy way. Needing only a tie to avoid Brazil in the quarternals, the U.S. fell 2-1 to Sweden on Wednesday night, the teams fourth loss since November and rst ever in group play at the World Cup. After, what I said to the team is, my glass

is half-full, U.S. coach Pia Sundhage said. Even though we lost, we can come out as a winner if we take a different path. ... We really want to play in the nal. But we have to play some great games, play some great teams. I really want us to embrace this process. I think the team will get stronger. Thats the plan. Its a little bit different for me to talk about the nal, she added. Thats what it takes when we take a different road.

Pacica American gets shot at 10-11 District 52 crown

Where wood is welcome T


he high school summer baseball season means different things to different players and coaches. One camp believes it supposed to be sheer fun. Go to the plate, take your hacks, play with a little air defensively. The opposite end of the spectrum is the ultra-competitive program, which practices throughout the summer, works on situational hitting and treats it like a job. There are a few more options for players. Some can fall into the above camps, but others have their own reasons for playing baseball during the summer: they want to get better for the next level. Whether that be their senior year in high school or freshman year in college, most summer players have their eye on the ultimate prize professional baseball. Players have different ways to reach their goal by their approach to the game, and their equipment. There is a quartet of players on the San Carlos Tribe American Legion team who are actually looking beyond the next step. Alex Blandino, Dylan Mayer, Richard Prigatano and Geo Saba are preparing for a shot in pro ball now by using wood bats for the Tribe. Using wood instead of metal bats means players need to really square up the ball and make solid contact because the sweet spot on wood bats is much smaller than on a metal or composite bat. With the high school bat rules not in effect this summer, players are allowed to

Its been so long since the Pacica American Little League All-Star program has won a District 52, the players dads were playing Little League. Its been 28 years 1983 since the last Pacica American Little League team hoisted a District 52 championship banner, but it will get that chance Sunday as it advanced to the 10- and 11-year-old championship game Sunday by virtue of its 10-6 win over Redwood City National Wednesday evening at the Belmont Sports Complex. It was the winners bracket nal and, after falling behind 3-1, Pacica rallied for six runs in the third to take a 7-3 lead on its way to the victory. Its just exciting. Im so excited for the kids, for the parents, said Pacica American manager Ryan Gordon. The whole (Pacica) community has rallied around this team. Both teams aces were unavailable, which made conditions ripe for a high-scoring game Wednesday. We kind of had a feeling we would have to score a lot of runs to win, Gordon said. The key for Pacica American was starting pitcher Sean Snead, who Gordon said served as the teams closer in the rst three games of the tournament. Although Redwood City National touched him up for two runs in the rst and one more in the third, Snead did a good job of wiggling out of trouble. A couple more Redwood City National hits could have broken open the game, but Snead kept his team close until the Pacica American offense came to life. I was so proud of Sean, Gordon said. We tell all our starting pitchers, Your job is to keep us within striking distance.

Persistence pays off: South Korea wins Olympic bid


By Stephen Wilson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DURBAN, South Africa The victory margin was massive and the message loud and clear: Persistence paid off for South Korea in its third consecutive bid for the Winter Olympics. After two stinging defeats in a decade of trying, the South Korean city of Pyeongchang nally won its Olympic prize Wednesday, burying two European rivals in a landslide vote for the 2018 Winter Games and bringing them back to the lucrative Asian market. We are grateful to people who persevere and are patient, and each time the bid has improved,

Koreans have been waiting for 10 years to host the Winter Games. I believe that all the IOC members understood our message.They understood it was right time,right place,right now.
Cho Yang-ho,South Korea Olympic bid leader

International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge said. The Koreans lost narrowly in the nal round of voting for the 2010 and 2014 Games, but this time they defeated Munich and Annecy, France, by a one-sided margin that few had expected. Koreans have been waiting for 10 years to host the Winter Games, bid leader Cho Yang-ho

said. Now we have nally achieved our dream. I believe that all the IOC members understood our message. They understood it was right time, right place, right now. Needing 48 votes for victory, Pyeongchang won an overwhelming 63 of the 95 cast in the rst round of the secret ballot. Munich received 25 and Annecy seven.

I was surprised by the one-round victory and I was surprised by the margin, Rogge told The Associated Press. We had three technically equivalent bids and then the other factors came into play and denitely the patience and perseverance of the Koreans has been rewarded. South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, who delivered a speech in English during the nal presentation, reminded the IOC of his countrys successful hosting of the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, and said: Now Korea wants to give back to the Olympic movement and to the world.

Summer Roundup
Shockers go 2-3 in Reno Tournament
The American Legion Post 82 San Mateo Shockers suffered a losing trip to Reno, Nev. last weekend for the the 2011 Reno Muckdogs Wood Bat Invitational 4th of July Tourney. The Shockers rotated a loss for a win in ve games, falling to the Watsonville Aggies in their nal contest 7-3. Tyler Cyr took the loss in a game where the Shockers were only outhit by one, but committed four errors and were put away by a three-run fourth inning by the Aggies. Jordan Paroubeck picked up a pair of RBI for the Shockers in the game. The loss came after the Shockers survived another four-error performance in game four of their tournament, defeating the East Bay All-Stars 7-2. Chris Lewis had two hits in the game and Kyle Ferris drove in three San Mateo runs. Sean McMillian also had a pair of RBI. In game three, Top Speed Baseball put up a four-spot in the top of the seventh to nally put some considerable distance between them and the Shockers for the 6-1 win. It was another another messy game for San Mateo, which committed ve errors in the loss. The Shockers also managed only two hits. That performance came after pounding out 11 hits, including a home run by Jordan Paroubeck in a 12-7 win against the Colt 45s. San Mateo put up seven runs in the bottom of the fourth to take a 7-3 lead only to see it evaporate in the top half of the fth when the 45s put up four runs of their own. But only a big crooked number by San Mateo was the difference in the ball game ve runs in the bottom half of fth. In game one of the tournament, San Mateo loss 2-1 to W.M Ports despite Dario Bortolotto and McMillian limiting the opposition to only three hits. The difference in the game was a single run scored by the Ports in the bottom of the sixth.

Athletics shutout Mariners for the win

struck out ve, walked one and got 13 of his outs in play on yballs. Moscoso has allowed just one earned run in his past 24 2-3 innings, lowering his ERA to 2.16. Every time out hes been that strong, closer Andrew Bailey said. I Guillermo wouldnt say today is his Moscoso best but its denitely one of them. Everything hes asked to do hes done, whether its bullpen or start. Each and every time out hes made the most of the opportunity. Its going to be a tough decision. Thats what you want. You want the front ofce to have to make a tough decision. That means youre pitching well and playing good baseball. Joey Devine pitched a perfect eighth and Bailey nished for his eighth save in nine chances. The Mariners managed just two hits and had their three-game winning streak snapped. We just didnt put a lot of pressure on him, DH Adam Kennedy said of Moscoso. You look at his numbers and hes a yball pitcher but we should be able to make adjustments. We just didnt get it done today. The As lost the rst two games between the ALs lowest-scoring teams in predictably tight fashion. Seattle won the opener 2-1 behind a OAKLAND Guillermo Moscoso was more worried about shutting down Seattle than his status in Oaklands rotation. Moscoso made a strong case to keep his spot by allowing two hits in seven innings and Scott Sizemore homered to help the Athletics salvage the nale of a three-game series with a 20 victory over the Mariners on Wednesday. Like I said before the game. I have to be focused today and not worry about if this would be my last start, Moscoso said. I just had to stay focused and make quality pitches today and give the team a chance to win. Thats what were looking for. Sizemore hit a solo homer in the second inning and added an RBI single in the fth against Jason Vargas (6-6) to give Moscoso (34) more than enough support to win for the rst time since May 29. Moscoso won his rst two starts before going 0-4 in June, despite posting a 2.25 ERA. Despite the solid performance, Moscosos spot in Oaklands rotation is in jeopardy with Tyson Ross expected to come off the disabled list following the All-Star break. I just have to do my best, keep doing my best and try to stay deep into games and give the team a chance to win, he said. Any role, starter or reliever. Im just trying to stay here as long as I can. Moscoso made a strong case to remain in Oaklands starting ve, allowing only singles to Dustin Ackley in the second inning and Adam Kennedy in the seventh. Moscoso strong start by Michael Pineda and then won 4-2 Tuesday with help from a throwing error by Oakland shortstop Cliff Pennington in the 10th inning. Sizemore got the As started in the rst inning when he turned on a rst-pitch fastball from Vargas and drove it into the left-eld seats for his third homer of the season to make it 1-0. Oakland added a second run in the fth inning when Pennington reached second on an ineld single and throwing error by shortstop Brendan Ryan. He moved to third on a balk and scored on Sizemores two-out hit to center eld. Vargas allowed two runs and ve hits in eight innings for his fourth complete game in his past seven starts. Sizemore got him a couple times but Jason threw the ball well again, gave us every opportunity to win the ballgame, manager Eric Wedge said. You cant say enough about how consistent hes been. He was efcient all day long. NOTES: The Mariners matched a seasonworst with three errors, having also done it April 6 at Texas. ... Oakland reliever Grant Balfour (right oblique) felt good after a oneinning rehab assignment Tuesday and will be activated from the DL on Thursday. ... OF Josh Willingham also might be ready to return Thursday from a strained left Achilles. ... The Mariners called up inelder Kyle Seager from Triple-A Tacoma after the game and designated catcher Jose Yepez for assignment.

Sandovals two-run double came against Mike Adams, who had not allowed a run in 15 of his previous 16 appearances against the Giants. Ryan Ludwick drove in two runs, Chase Headley, Jesus Guzman and Rob Johnson all had one RBI for the Padres, who had won 10 of their

inning and eventually scored on Sandovals groundout. The Padres added a run in the third on Headleys sacrice y and in the fourth on Guzmans double. Schierholtzs fth home run of the year, a tworun shot that glanced off the right eld foul pole, narrowed the decit to 4-3 in the fourth.

Christiane celebrated with jubilant body ips, and then added the third score from the penalty spot in injury time. Brazil won Group D with nine points.

CAP FREHEL, France Crashes, crashes everywhere: Alberto Contador and some other top Tour de France riders tumbled to the asphalt Wednesday in a nervous ride on Brittanys narrow, windswept roads. Most recovered, and a rider who skirted trouble to excel was British speedster Mark Cavendish, who again showed that hes one of the worlds top sprinters by leading a frenzied mass dash to the nish to win Stage 5. Gritting it out through pain of bruises, scrapes or broken bones, defending champion Contador and most of the other crash victims bounced back to nish the 102-mile trek from Carhaix to Cap Frehel along the rocky western French shores on the English Channel. The top of the standings didnt change. Thor Hushovd of Norway kept the yellow jersey for a fourth day, with a 1-second lead over Cadel Evans of Australia. Frank Schleck of Luxembourg is third, 4 seconds back. One who didnt make it through

was RadioShack rider Jani Brajkovic, who was briey knocked unconscious in a crash and taken to hospital where he was diagnosed with a concussion and a collarbone fracture. The promising 27-year-old Slovenian, who quit the race, was but one of the U.S. teams riders to run into trouble. Its a bad day for us, said Johan Bruyneel, the RadioShack team manager, bemoaning also that Jaroslav Popovych of Ukraine badly injured his right wrist and scraped up his left knee and elbow. Bruyneel said Brajkovic was so dazed and disoriented that he couldnt remember the crash: He couldnt tell us what happened, where he was and on which race. American veteran Levi Leipheimer, another RadioShack star and a four-time top-10 nisher at the Tour, was also involved in a crash but returned to the course. French time-trial champion Christophe Kern also dropped out. The stage ran along a picturesque patch of rocky Brittany cliffs overlooking the Atlantic but it was anything but pretty for many of the riders. Leipheimer complained

about the dangers of the tight Brittany roads that often forced the pack to suddenly compact, making crashes more likely. These roads dont belong in the Tour, especially 1st week, he tweeted. At least six crashes marred the stage. Sky rider Bradley Wiggins of Britain and the Netherlands Robert Gesink, of the Rabobank team, joined Contador as title hopefuls who went down but recovered to nish. It was very nervous, and because of that you get a lot of crashes, because there are 200 riders who want to be in front, said Hushovd. The course was tricky, but so was the nale. Cavendish, one of the worlds best sprinters, collected his 16th career Tour stage victory and his rst this year by speeding past Philippe Gilbert of Belgium who nished second and Jose Joaquin Rojas in third. I am really happy. It was a difcult nish, said Cavendish, who rides with the HTC-Highroad team. I put everything into it ... If we win, its not because were lucky, its because were good.

switch to so-called hot bats traditional metal bats. Those who just want to have fun swing metal. Its an easy way to put up huge summer numbers. Swinging wood bats is no way to hit .500. But the Tribes foursome realizes its the best way to prepare for the future. Tribe manager Rich Vallero fully supports them. At the end of summer, its about getting better, Vallero said. Whatever they need to do to elevate their game, Im all for it. Using wood certainly hasnt hampered the Tribe. Going into last Fridays game at the Burlingame Fourth of July tournament,

Vallero said the Tribe had beaten their last ve of their last six opponents by 10 runs or more. That included an 11-1 win over Palo Alto in which the quartet nished 3 for 13. Not great numbers, but they did combine for four runs scored, three RBIs and three walks. Making the adjustment to wood is no easy task. Its easy to get frustrated knowing that a groundout with a wood bat could easily be extra bases with a metal bat. But Vallero wont tell anyone what type of bat to swing. He will, however, spend the time making his players better hitters period regardless of their preference. Now, Vallero said he will intervene if he thinks a kid is using a bat that is not conducive to success such as one that is too heavy. But he wont recommend a change even if a player is in an 0 for 24 slump. Theres a lot of things in this game you

have to gure out on your own, Vallero said. *** The other night, I caught the championship game sequence from the original The Bad News Bears movie, starring Walter Mathau as the crusty Bears coach, Morris Buttermaker. As I watched Bears catcher ip off the Yankees pitcher, the swearing of players at their opponents, child abuse on the part of the Yankees manager (and the pitchers dad) and Buttermaker starting the same kids every game along with all-world center elder Kelly Leak I couldnt help but wonder if the movie changed the way the game is played today. Now, there is no indication that the Bears or the league in which they were playing was in any way afliated with Little League Baseball, but there is a scene in which Buttermaker clears his bench in the champi-

onship game kids who have barely seen any playing time all season because it was the right thing to do and Buttermaker had his heart softened. Look at the Little League playoffs nowadays. All players have to play at least one inning defensively or get one at-bat in every game. The sportsmanship rules Little League employs are arguably the best around as only positive reinforcement is encouraged. Given the delinquent aspect of the The Bad News Bears, I have to think Little League was taking notes to make sure its league didnt turn into movie fodder.

The rst time through (the batting order), we were out front a little bit, Gordon said. But we were condent they would make the adjustment. Pacica American sent 10 batters to the plate in the bottom of the third, scoring six runs on ve hits. Snead, Jack Gilmore, Shanahan and Brett Karalius all had back-to-back-to-back-toback RBI singles and it appeared Pacica was poised to run away with the win. Redwood City came right back in the top of the fourth to make it a game again. It scored three runs in the fourth on Crowells third RBI of the game and two more unearned runs to close to a run, 7-6. That third inning really turned things upside down, said Redwood City National manager Joe Masetti. I thought [our] kids showed a lot of heart. They have been down for only one inning (in the tournament thus far). This was new territory. I loved the way they responded. It was as close as Redwood City National would get as Pacica American tacked on two more runs in the fourth on RBIs from Mario Fare and Karalius, and added an unearned run in the bottom of the fth. While Pacica American now has three days off before Sundays championship game at noon, Redwood City National will have to win the consolation bracket nal Saturday and then beat Pacica American twice to claim the crown. Redwood City National is not conceding anything. Even though were in the consolation bracket there is every opportunity to come out and win this thing, Masetti said.

Redwood City National wasted little time in taking the lead. Tony Masetti, Nico Rollandi, Chris Cook and Trevor Crowell all singled in the inning, with Cook and Crowell driving in runs. Redwood City National starter Eric DeBrine got huge help from his defense to keep Pacica American off the scoreboard early. Pacica had two hits in each of the rst two innings, but each time Redwood City National turned double plays to get out of jams. In the rst, Redwood City shortstop Masetti elded a grounder near second base. He stepped on second for the rst out and threw on to rst to end the rst inning. In the second, after Diani Shanahan reached on an error and later scored on a wild pitch, Masetti was again involved in an inning-ending double play.

The runner at second broke for third and Redwood City rst baseman Kyle Pruhsmeier red to third baseman Cook, who applied the tag in time to get the runner and end the inning. You pitch and play defense. Thats how you win these games, said Gordon, whose team turned a similar double play of its own in the top of the fth.

rst outside Japan to host the Winter Games. Japan held the games in Sapporo in 1972 and Nagano in 1998. Under the slogan New Horizons, Pyeongchang drove home the theme that it deserved to win on a third try by offering the potential of spreading the Olympics to a lucrative new market and become a hub for winter sports in the region. They have tried very hard and they have done everything that we told them to do and I think that a lot of people felt that they really deserved it, Norwegian IOC executive board member Gerhard Heiberg said. And they will have a really good legacy for the whole of east Asia. Pyeongchang hit all the right notes in its nal presentation, combining emotion and humor with its solid technical bid plans. We never gave up, and tried again and listened to your advice and improved our plans, said Kim Jin-sun, the former governor of Gangwon Province, where Pyeongchang is located. I believe it is my destiny to stand in front of you for the third time, he said, his voice choking and eyes welling with tears. Our people have waited for over 10 years for the Winter Olympics. Today I humbly ask for your support for the chance of hosting the Winter Games for the rst time in our country.

their tradition. They then took a victory lap around the eld, delighting the many Swedish fans in the crowd of 23,468 who whistled and cheered. It was one of the better matches, Sweden coach Thomas Dennerby said. To get nine points in the group phase, thats really good. The U.S. is a two-time World Cup champion, two-time defending Olympic gold medalist and the No. 1-ranked team. But its had a rough few months since being stunned by Mexico in the seminals of regional World Cup qualifying, needing to beat Italy in a playoff just to get to Germany. The Americans then lost to Sweden in the opener of the Four Nations tournament in January, and dropped their rst game to England since 1988.

But they seemed to have regained their mojo in the rst two games of the World Cup, scoring ve goals and playing with a looseness and joy that hasnt been seen in recent months. Still, no offense to North Korea or World Cup newcomer Colombia, the Americans hadnt seen a team as good as Sweden, either. We have great respect for the U.S. team but, at the same time, we know were good, too, Lotta Schelin said. And they wasted little time showing it. With German chancellor Angela Merkel watching with the Germany squad, Sweden put the U.S. on its heels early after Amy LePeilbet tripped Schelin in the box in the 14th minute to earn a penalty kick. Dahlkvist took the penalty, curling it into the left side of the net. Hope Solo dived in full stretch, but the ball was just beyond her ngertips. I was thinking that shes smaller than me now in this moment, Dahlkvist said. Shes afraid of me. The goal snapped Solos scoreless streak at 796 minutes, second longest in U.S. history. It also ended a run of eight shutouts, dating back to March 2010.

In the clip, Lautner builds a football eld that attracts locked-out NFL players eager to play. League owners locked out players in March, and negotiations are ongoing. Whereas Costner in Field of Dreams was mysteriously moved to build a baseball diamond, Lautner is pushed to erect a pigskin paradise. When the voice whispers, Are you ready? Lautner answers, For what? The voice replies: Some football. NFL stars who make appearances include Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens, Tony Gonzalez of the Atlanta Falcons and Shawne Merriman of the Buffalo Bills. NFL Networks Rich Eisen shows up to broadcast the action.

Sports Brief
Stanfords Dawkins receives 2-year extension
STANFORD Stanford mens basketball coach Johnny Dawkins has signed a two-year contract extension that takes him through the 2015-16 season with the Cardinal. Athletic director Bob Bowlsby made the announcement Wednesday about the new deal for Dawkins, who owns a 49-48 record in three seasons at Stanford, including last seasons 15-16 mark. The 47-year-old Dawkins was a longtime Duke assistant under Mike Krzyzewski and a former All-America at the school where he had been on the coaching staff since the 199798 season. He played for a national championship and won it all as an assistant coach.

NEW YORK Voices are still being heard in Iowa cornelds, only this time, they want Taylor Lautner to build a football eld. The website Funny Or Die debuted a threeminute Field of Dreams sequel Wednesday. The Twilight star plays the equivalent of Kevin Costner in a mock movie trailer that quickly drew more than 150,000 views. The video, Field of Dreams 2: Lockout, a riff on the NFL labor negotiations, is one of Funny Or Dies most ambitious undertakings yet. It pulled together a number of famous actors, gathered some dozen currently out-ofwork NFL stars and utilized lmmaking techniques seldom employed for Internet videos.

Ray Liotta, who played Shoeless Joe Jackson in the original Field of Dreams, returns to play NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Dennis Haysbert (24) takes the James Earl Jones role. Even Costner makes a cameo. It is safe to say that this is denitely the biggest Funny Or Die video, says director Eric Appel. Appel previously worked for the website and was asked to return from TV work to make the video. As is typical with Funny Or Die videos, the cast worked for free on the appeal of doing something fun for a few hours. The video was shot over two days last week in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

Home birth on the rise by a dramatic 20 percent


By Leanne Italie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK One mother chose home birth because it was cheaper than going to a hospital. Another gave birth at home because she has multiple sclerosis and feared unnecessary medical intervention. And some choose home births after cesarean sections with their rst babies. Whatever their motivation, all are among a striking trend: Home births increased 20 percent from 2004 to 2008, accounting for 28,357 of 4.2 million U.S. births, according to a study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released in May. White women led the drive, with 1 in 98 having babies at home in 2008, compared to 1 in 357 black women and 1 in 500 Hispanic women. Sherry Hopkins, a Las Vegas midwife, said the women whose home births shes attended include a pediatrician, an emergency room doctor and nurses. Were denitely seeing well-educated and well-informed people who want to give birth at home, she said. Robbie Davis-Floyd, a medical anthropologist at the University of Texas at Austin and researcher on global trends in childbirth, obstetrics and midwifery, said at rst, in the 1970s, it was largely a hippie, countercultural thing to give birth outside of the hospital. Over the years, as the formerly lay midwives have become far more sophisticated, so has their clientele. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which certifies OB-GYNs, warns that home births can be unsafe, especially if the mother has high-risk conditions, if a birth attendant is inadequately trained and

if theres no nearby hospital in case of emergency. Some doctors also question whether a feminist machoism is at play in wanting to give birth at home. But home birthers say they want to be free of drugs, fetal monitors, IVs and pressure to hurry their labor at the behest of doctors and hospitals. They prefer to labor in tubs of water or on hands and knees, walk around their living rooms or take comfort in their own beds, surrounded by loved ones as they listen to music or hypnosis recordings with the support of midwives and doulas. Some even go without midwives and rely on husbands or other non-professionals for support. Julie Jacobs, 38, of Baltimore, who has multiple sclerosis, said she chose midwives and hypnosis because I wanted to surround myself with people who would support me as a birthing mother, rather than view me as an MS patient who would be a liability in need of interventions at every turn. Her rst two children were born in a freestanding birth center operated by midwives.

After the center closed, her third child was born at home in 2007. If I had been in a hospital I probably would have had C-sections for all three, she said. With the rst, I would have been terried to try a home birth. After the second one I was like, hey, I cant necessarily walk in a straight line, but I can do this. Some home birthers cite concerns over cesarean sections. The U.S. rate of C-sections in hospitals hovers around 32 percent, soaring up to 60 percent in some areas. In some cases, theres a too posh to push mentality of scheduled inductions for convenience sake (Victoria Beckham had three). Gina Crosley-Corcoran, a Chicago blogger and pre-law student, had a C-section with her rst baby and chronicled nightmarish pressure from nurses and doctors to abandon a vaginal birth with her second. She followed up with a third child born at home in April. I do think theres a backlash against whats happening in hospitals, she said. Women are nding that the hospital experience wasnt a good one. In Portland, Ore., acupuncturist Becca Seitz gave birth to both her children at home, the rst time in 2007 because she and her husband were without insurance. It was never on my radar, until we couldnt afford otherwise, she said. Im granola, but not that granola. It cost us $3,300, as opposed to over $10,000 in a hospital. Her midwife was prepared with the drug Pitocin, oxygen and other medical equipment. They were both born over the toilet, she said. It was a nice position. Its a way that were used to pushing. Dr. Joel Evans, the rare board-certied OBGYN who supports home birth, said the med-

Getting creative with Mediterranean decor evokes sun,sea color:How to do it right


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Melissa Rayworth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Striped staircases and lavender walls? Theyre not just for high-prole designers anymore. Home-decorating TV shows and glossy shelter magazines have many homeowners embracing the bold, unexpected use of color that cuttingedge designers love. But creative color can be tricky. Three experts offer advice on doing it right:

UNEXPECTED PLACES
Bursts of color are perfect for areas that normally get little attention, says Cortney Novogratz, cohost of the new HGTV series Home by Novogratz. Stairs, alcoves and unused corners of rooms, she says, are spots that people dont realize they can really dress up and have fun with to show a reflection of who they are as homeowners. For her shows rst episode, she painted a beach house staircase white with pink and blue stripes from top to bottom. This narrow approach to the second oor suddenly became bright and inviting.

mon color palettes surface frequently in home decorating. Freshen up these typical pairings by bringing in a third color no one would expect, says Brian Patrick Flynn, HGTV blogger and founder of DecorDemon.com. If you really want chocolate brown with pale blue, which has been done to death, then add something like celery green, he says. All of a sudden, its fresh and youve made it your own. If you love wild colors like bright orange but arent sure how to decorate with them, Flynn suggests using a bright hue alongside a very dark and a very light one. Orange might be a disaster mixed with green and yellow, but it can look sophisticated when used with silver and dark charcoal.

BOLD DOESNT HAVE TO MEAN BRIGHT


Being adventurous with color doesnt always mean using loud hues. Betsy Burnham, founder of Los Angeles Burnham Design, recently chose lavender for the entryway of a home in Beverly Hills. Her client had expected the walls of this two-story space to be painted a classic neutral maybe cream or

Influenced by Spanish, Italian, French, Turkish, Moroccan and Greek seaside lifestyles, Mediterranean decor is simple and relaxed, and easily adapted to Western homes. The natural hues of the region marine, almond, olive, sunshine and chalk frame the palette. In furnishings, the styles ethnic, often rustic, origins tend to dominate. But modernist interpretations think of Riviera yachts and summer homes, for example are just as popular. With quaint shing and farming villages as well as glamorous seaside playgrounds, the region is one of contrasts. The colors and graphic motifs are overtly handmade, or bold and clean, so if youre more contemporary than traditional, youll still be able to incorporate elements of this quintessential summer style. Designer David Stark loves the style for its painterly origins. For me, the Mediterraneans synonymous with the light captured by Matisse, Picasso, and Van Gogh, he says. In his summer collection for West Elm, Stark has returned to his roots as a painter. Im lassoing materials from the painting studio to create tableware and dicor reective of my personal artistic fantasy of the region. Hes done an easy, sophisticated

collection that includes tileworkpatterned lacquer trays, and white dinnerware swabbed with a stroke of azure blue. Find here also rustic cobalt glassware reminiscent of a little ca on the Greek coast, and some gorgeous ceramics with a canvas texture. Recreate the look of beautiful Mediterranean tiles with walldressedup.coms set of wall transfers. Theyd be a great way to add the theme to a kitchen or entry way. Throw down a blue-and-whitestriped cotton rug; fill a rustic blown-glass jug with yellow daisies. At Ballard Designs, hand-blown glass is encased in wrought iron swirls to create the Marrakech Onion Bulb pendant xture. The Sevilla Rug recreates antique Mediterranean tile mosaics in soft, 100-percent wool. And if youre crafty, consider buying a few yards of the Delray Azure fabric, printed in a crisp navy and white graphic motif, to make curtains, pillow covers or tablecloths. Martha Stewart has designed the Miramar wrought-iron side table, which could work indoors or out, and her good-looking, blue-enameled trivet would be a useful addition to an outdoor table. Frontgates got a large and lovely mustard-hued terra cotta urn embellished with pomegranates. Its an investment, but if you can swing it youll have something wonderful for years to come. Otherwise, search off-price stores for alternatives.

color for their walls: They feel like its permanent, even though it isnt, he says. If you prefer neutral walls, you can easily bring in edgier colors with furniture, window treatments and accessories. Novogratz suggests another option: Choose vibrant pieces of art, and then frame them in brightly colored frames. She and her husband, Robert, who is also her design partner, sometimes take basic wooden picture frames and repaint them in a vivid red lacquer. the right shade. Even pink doesnt have to be saved for childrens bedrooms, Novogratz says. A tip from Burnham: If you want to use a color like teal or chartreuse but are worried it will be overpowering, look for what she calls a dusty version of these colors one thats tempered by a bit of gray.

wood nishes to rooms where she has used intense colors. Novogratz did the same in a master bedroom where she used a single shade of bright yellow for the walls and oor. A large wooden bed in the center of the room created a calming break from the energizing yellow that lled the space. Overall, says Flynn, give yourself permission to experiment and indulge your creativity. Every time I do my own space, he says, I think of it as a canvas where I can experiment with completely unusual color combinations. roundtable and SFO have signicantly mitigated noise, some individuals and communities continue to feel their impacts are not being adequately addressed, according to the report which cited departure patterns over Brisbane and increased night ights over San Bruno, South San Francisco and Daly City. The civil grand jury reports carry no legal weight but recipients are required to respond in writing within 90 days. The full report is available at www.sanmateocourt.org/grandjury. Today, most midwife-attended births take place in hospitals in the U.S., and many midwives are licensed nurses. But there are also close to 1,700 midwives who practice outside of hospitals, said Davis-Floyd. In 27 states, so-called lay midwives who lack nurses training but are licensed and certied as professional midwives can attend births legally.

taupe. Lavender was an unexpected choice, but the owner was thrilled: It gave the entryway subtle drama without looking outrageous.

PAINT ISNT THE ONLY WAY


Paint is inexpensive and easy to apply, so it can be the perfect vehicle to bring in wilder colors. But Flynn nds that some homeowners are intimidated by choosing a bold or quirky

The edgiest colors can be tamed nicely by pairing them with natural wood tones. Burnham often adds furniture with black the focus of data from resident complaints to actual noise measurements. Roundtable participation will also benefit from requiring the chair and vice chair be elected officials from San Mateo County communities, expanding to include a representative from the state Division of Aeronautics and create local Citizen Advisory Committees, the jury concluded.

Crocuses add touch of spring to fall


By Dean Fosdick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Some late-blooming crocus varieties planted around the yard can transform autumn into a second spring, providing a welcome burst of color as other owers fade and the leaves begin to fall. Nurseries generally label them minor bulbs, however, stocking only a few if any because there is so little demand. People want to see spring owering bulbs, some color, after a long winter, said Richard Jauron, a horticulturist with Iowa State University Extension. Crocus that bloom in the fall? People dont seem to notice them as much. There are fall crocuses some 30 species and then there are 15 or so colchicum. There is a great deal of difference between the underused lookalikes. Fall crocuses are planted in early September, and bloom four to ve weeks later. They do not bloom in the spring, Jauron said. Colchicums send up foliage in the spring and soon die back or go dormant, he said. Theyre gone in summer. Then the owers suddenly appear in the fall. Just blooms on stems. A colchicum has six stamens, those pollen-laden spikes inside the blooms, while a crocus has three. Colchicum bulbs are poisonous and are not eaten by plant predators. The bulb-like corms of

crocus are not, however, and are popular fare for foraging deer, voles and chipmunks. Crocus is a member of the iris family and develops from corms, an elongated, starch-containing growth on the plant stem from which a shoot forms. Colchicum is related to lilies and grows from bulbs. Colchicums look like crocus on steroids, said Becky Heath, co-owner of Brent and Beckys Bulbs in Gloucester, Va. The bulbs are huge, the owers are much larger than crocus owers and they are pest proof. Both bloom in late September and October in USDA zones 5 through 9 zone 4, too, if planted in protected locations. Some of the better-known fall-crocus varieties include the C. speciosus (eggshaped owers with light blue blooms), C. sativus (saffron crocus having purplelilac owers and three harvestable red stigma the sticky tubes where pollen must germinate), C. kotschyanus (pale lilac in color with darker lilac veining) and C. niveus (white or lilac with yellow throat). My favorite from the fall-blooming colchicum group is the Waterlily, an absolutely gorgeous plant, said Barbara Pierson, nursery manager at White Flower Farm in Litcheld, Conn. It looks like a water lily growing out of the

ground and positively glows in an iridescent purple. Some other popular colchicum varieties: autumnale (with lavender-pink petals), Lilac Wonder (hybrid with violet blooms having white line in center) and speciosum (raspberry color with white eye in the center). One of the most unusual of the fall crocus line is the C. sativus, producing styles from which edible saffron is carefully harvested. Saffron is valued for its aroma, pungent avor and golden colors, and is said to be the worlds most expensive spice, fetching prices well over $300 per ounce. Its kind of a neat thing to have in your garden, said Jennifer Schultz Nelson, a horticulturist with University of Illinois Extension in Decatur. You can tell dinner guests when youre featuring it in an entree that its homegrown. But before you start that commercial saffron business in your backyard, consider: You need 75,000 owers to produce a pound of saffron, Nelson said. No wonder it costs an arm and a leg.

her Mariners Island apartment since 1993 after the company she worked for offered her a buyout. She had worked at the San Francisco Chronicle designing advertising when a strike was imminent. They offered me a big hunk of cash and then the idea came to me to try it on my own, Stoddard said. She, too, was nervous before starting Elle S. Design out of her home. She turned down an art director position at a magazine to be her own boss. I was born and raised here and I had lots of contacts, she said. After the rst job came in, they started coming in one after the other. She gets much of her work through referrals from the printers with whom she works. She mostly does advertising design and illustration for high-end magazines but also designs brochures, signage, logos and menus. She loves the exibility of her job and enjoys working in her pajamas. Although she works regular ofce hours, she has the option to work on a project at 3 a.m. if she prefers. She does, however, miss the hustle and bustle of working in an ofce environment. I miss the social contact, the camraderie and bouncing ideas off others, Stoddard said. The chamber helps ll that lack of social interaction for some of its members by hosting networking events every week. Morey has gotten some of his business through these networking opportunities. Another chamber member, Lois Day, works out of her home along with her husband Doug. Lois Day Limited offers life management services for seniors. Im essentially a daughter for hire that takes care of all kinds of needs for seniors, she said. Day offers financial management services, help with health issues any pretty much any other need her clients have. She runs her ofce out of her home but spends much of her time on the road working with her clients at their homes. address concerns about political inuence in decision making, whether outside parties could intervene in a rate case, identifying the medical costs that are built into insurance rates, and other matters before he will fully support the bill. Sen. Tony Strickland, R-Thousand Oaks, called the bill deeply awed and rattled off a list of concerns he had with the claims of backers. He said insurers have been accused of gouging the public with high rates, but the companies have relatively low prot rates compared to pharmaceutical and medical device companies. Those medical cost drivers, he said, made a purely regulatory approach misguided. The author and sponsor have said much about this bill, but reality does not square with some of the rhetoric, Strickland said. By attempting to regulate rates without addressing use and cost of medical care, the bill would reduce the amount of care available to patients, Strickland said. Jones said insurers can choose statistics that make their prots appear smaller, but by other measures the prot margins may top 20 percent. We remain concerned that the insurers group at Ralston Middle School as her children grew older. Through the years, You learned more about PTA and its goal of speaking for every child with one voice. Statewide, the organization boasts more than 1 million members. The volunteer leadership is often made up of parents or teachers. However, anyone, even those without a child or grandchild, can become involved. Yous experience led to serving on the Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary School District Board of Trustees from 1999 to 2004 a position You feels she was prepared for through PTA leadership experiences. She is a past president of the Lois has a home ofce upstairs and her husband Dougs ofce is downstairs. Sometimes I will call him on the phone while we are both in the house if I need something, she said. They keep out of each others space for the most part but never tire of seeing each other. I never get too much of my husband, she said. She enjoys the exibility of being her own boss and the fact she pays no rent and has no overhead. The chamber is helping to facilitate a Work at Home Business Expo at the San Mateo County Event Center next month that will feature more than 100 home business models, resources and workshops designed to give the necessary tools on starting and running a successful home business. It is a one-stop shop for those thinking about starting their own business from home, said Barbara Ramirez, who is helping set up next months expo. Working from home allows for more time with the family, exible schedules and the ability to avoid rush-hour trafc, Ramirez said. More than 2,000 people attended the last expo held in San Diego, she said. The expo will feature numerous home businesses that will fit any desired lifestyle, Ramirez said. Whether someone is looking to work full time, part time or maybe just a few hours a week for that extra income, there is freedom to choose your own hours, Ramirez said. People who work from home are also eligible for certain tax breaks, she said. Most home-based businesses have a low startup cost and are low risk, said Derek Romo, the producer of the Work at Home Business Expo. In these economic times, individuals need to know there are options out there. There are many talented, skilled people that have lost their jobs and self employment is a viable option, Romo said. The Work at Home Expo is Aug. 20-21 at the San Mateo County Event Center.

He and the bills author, Assemblyman Mike Feuer, praised Hernandez for his willingness to keep the bill alive while amendment talks continue. The bill matters, said Feuer, D-Los Angeles. People are choosing between paying the mortgage and paying for coverage. Other backers joined in the kudos for Hernandez, including The Greenlining Institute. California health insurance premiums have gone up at ve times the overall ination rate, bleeding consumers and small businesses dry, said Carla Saporta, the groups health program director. A group representing insurers noted that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service recently issued a letter saying California already has effective rate review, and that other insurance changes in the state should be allowed to work before lawmakers tinker any more. AB52 is unnecessary because existing state and federal laws already offer consumer protections, said Patrick Johnston, president of the California Association of Health Plans. Seventeenth District PTA, which serves San Mateo County, and has a total of 18 years working with local PTAs from elementary through high school levels. Additionally, You has served with the California State PTA as vice president for health, vice president for parent involvement, leadership services commissioner and on multiple committees.

They are very involved and, like any other business, they rely on other local businesses for services and resources, Asbury said. People who work from home embody the true meaning of live, work and shop San Mateo, she said. Ed Morey is a chamber member who started his own home-based IT business nine years ago after three dot-coms he worked for abruptly went out of business. After the third went down I decided to go it alone, Morey, a Belmont resident said. Morey, who was raising three children with his wife, was nervous to take the plunge though. I was more worried than my wife was and she was very supportive, he said. Recruiting clients was his biggest worry but after he signed up his rst client, the others followed. His company, EJM Networks, is going strong and has survived essentially on word of mouth and through referrals. He now has a staff of workers that support the companys clients throughout the Peninsula. He loves the exible schedule and the extra time he now gets to spend with his children. There is still stress, though, in running your own business, he said. The past 18 months have been hard and I did think that maybe I should go and work for someone else, he said. But then I realized Im too spoiled now to work for someone else. His children were a signicant deciding factor in his reasons for wanting to work from the in-law apartment at his home converted into an ofce that also doubles as a family room. My kids said I was happy again. They said I was fun to be around again, Morey said about working from home. In San Mateo, graphic designer Laurie Stoddard has run her own business from

Groups representing insurers, doctors and hospitals oppose the bill. Backers include organized labor, advocates for low-income Californians and state Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones, a Democrat. Jones ofce would gain new leverage over health insurance rates if the bill passes and Gov. Jerry Brown, also a Democrat, signs it. The bill faced an end-of-the-week deadline for committee approval, but its fate is uncertain. It has drawn no substantive Republican support and Democratic backing is wobbly amid strong lobbying by the politically inuential opponents. Health committees chairman, Sen. Ed Hernandez, D-Baldwin Park, pushed for signicant changes to the bill before he would support it, but he voted for the measure Wednesday to keep it alive while negotiations over amendments continue. While I have had some concerns on your bill, I do support regulation, Hernandez said. He said he wants amendments to

Keep on developing new contacts in the year ahead, because several of them will help you develop and utilize your talents. Some of these associates will open doors for you that you couldnt have cracked on your own.
CaNCEr (June 21-July 22) -- Theres a possibility

that you could be a bit disorganized when getting your operation in gear at first, but dont worry, youll quickly get your act together and achieve impressive results. lEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There is a chance that your first ideas might not be your best ones, but if you are

prepared to make adjustments, everything will work out great. Your second thoughts will be the clincher. VIrGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Take plenty of time to be a comparison shopper, because you could be somewhat of a compulsive buyer right now. It might take a bit of digging to unearth the bargains. lIBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Those with whom youll be involved either socially or business-wise will take their cues from you. If youre easygoing, theyll respond in kind.

a bit uneasy about someone doing something for you, youll stand back and let the person do it. You wont interfere unless you need to.

Fort Hood shooting suspect will face death penalty
FORT WORTH, Texas The Army psychiatrist charged in the worst mass shooting on a U.S. military installation will be tried in a military court and face the death penalty if convicted, Fort Hoods commanding general announced Wednesday. Maj. Nidal Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and Nidal Hasan 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the November 2009 shooting spree on the Texas Army post. A military judge has not been named in the case, and it was not immediately clear when Hasan will be arraigned in a Fort Hood courtroom. He must plead not guilty because it is a death-penalty case, according to military law. Lt. Gen. Donald Campbells decision for Hasan to face a military trial and the death penalty came as no surprise and echoed the recommendations of two Army colonels who also reviewed the case.

Critics: NASA ignoring backup planrule


CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. A somewhat generational battle over NASAs future is escalating even as NASA is about to close the book on the space shuttle era. Heroic former astronauts and some current top managers are stepping up their criticism of an agency they see ending its only way to get astronauts into space and going nowhere fast. NASAs chief counters that his agency is heading somewhere new for a change and dismisses critics as people who must all be living on another planet. The critics say NASA is ignoring its own long-standing advice: Have a backup plan. Once shuttle Atlantis has completed its mission, NASA wont have a way to get into space for years except hitching a ride on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft. A new design will come from private developers, but that will take at least three years, probably longer, experts believe. First moonwalker Neil Armstrong, first American in orbit John Glenn, Mission Control founder Chris Kraft, Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell, rst shuttle pilot Robert Crippen and others are pushing for a last minute reprieve for the about-to-be-retired space shuttle eet. Theyre even urging a delay of Fridays nal launch. They may get a delay of a day or two because of bad weather. But the NASA veterans are looking for a pause of more than a year, until more shuttle

parts are ready to keep ying and extend the 30-year program. Back in June, as Atlantis headed to the launch pad, launch director Mike Leinbach on a live audio loop groused to his fellow workers were all victims of poor policy out of Washington, D.C., for not having a new mission for the post-shuttle era. Glenn, who returned to space at the age of 77 by flying on the shuttle Discovery in 1998, said: I told the president, Were violating one of NASAs critical design criteria. That means there must be a backup system for getting into space and bringing astronauts home from the International Space Station. Armstrong, Kraft and Lovell sent a letter June 30 to President Barack Obama and NASA chief Charles Bolden asking that they keep shuttles flying and delay this final launch. Glenn, who wasnt involved in the letter campaign, is also calling it a mistake to end the space shuttle program planned since 2004.

Arizona washes away dust deposited by massive storm


PHOENIX Arizonans are calling it the mother of all dust storms. The mile-high wall of ominous, billowing dust that appeared to swallow Phoenix and its suburbs is all that locals can talk about. It moved through the state around sundown Tuesday, halting airline ights, knocking out power to nearly 10,000 people, turning swimming pools into mud pits and caking cars with dirt. The sky was still lled with a hazy shade of brown Wednesday as residents washed their cars and swept sidewalks. Because dust storms, also known by the Arabic term haboobs, are so hard to predict, Tuesdays took everyone by surprise.

Court orders immediate halt to gay military ban


By Lisa Leff and Lolita C. Baldor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO A federal appeals court ordered the U.S. government on Wednesday to immediately cease enforcing the ban on openly gay members of the mili-

tary, a move that could speed the end of the 17-year-old rule. Congress repealed the policy in December and the Pentagon is already preparing to welcome gay military personnel, said the ruling from a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. Theres no longer any purpose for a stay the appeals court had placed on a lower court ruling that overturned dont ask, dont tell, the judges said. In the meantime, the court order blocks the military from discharging anyone based on sexual orientation, a Pentagon spokesman said, news that brought relief from gay rights advocates who say there are still dozens of gay or lesbian personnel under investigation. The ruling ...removes all uncertainty American servicemembers are no longer under threat of discharge as the repeal implementation process goes forward, said R. Clarke Cooper, Log Cabin Republicans executive director.

The Pentagon will comply with the court order and is taking immediate steps to inform commanders in the eld, said spokesman Col. Dave Lapan. The next step: the ofcial end to dont ask, dont tell. Defense ofcials said the chiefs of the military services are scheduled to submit their recommendations on the repeal to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Friday. As soon as the Pentagon certies that repealing the ban will have no effect on military readiness, the military has 60 days to implement the repeal. Ofcials said they believe the ban could be fully lifted by the end of September. The ofcials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The services have been training their forces on the new law for the past several months. The Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps are largely done with the training, and the Army is on track to nish the active duty training by July 15.
