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.
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.

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

President Ronald Reagan announced he was nominating Arizona Judge Sandra Day OConnor to become the first female justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1846, U.S. annexation of California was proclaimed at Monterey after the surrender of a Mexican garrison. In 1860, composer-conductor Gustav Mahler was born in Kalischt, Bohemia, Austria-Hungary (in the present-day Czech Republic). In 1865, four people were hanged in Washington, D.C., for conspiring with John Wilkes Booth to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln. In 1898, the United States annexed Hawaii. In 1911, composer Gian Carlo Menotti was born in Cadegliano, Italy. In 1919, the rst Transcontinental Motor Convoy, in which a U.S. Army convoy of motorized vehicles crossed the United States, departed Washington, D.C. (The trip ended in San Francisco on Sept. 6, 1919.) In 1930, construction began on Boulder Dam (later Hoover Dam). In 1941, U.S. forces took up positions in Iceland, Trinidad and British Guiana to forestall any Nazi invasion, even though the United States had not yet entered the Second World War. In 1969, Canadas House of Commons gave nal approval to the Ofcial Languages Act, making French equal to English throughout the national government.

The transient accused of beating and sodomizing a 19-year-old acquaintance inside a van parked near the Redwood City library pleaded not guilty yesterday to sexual assault charges that could send him to prison for life. Corey Lee Bell, 32, returns to court Aug. 17 for a preliminary hearing on the charges of sodomy causing great bodily injury, assault by force and making criminal threats.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

NEW YORK Stock indexes managed slight gains Wednesday as investors shrugged off slower growth in the U.S. service sector. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

SAN FRANCISCO Nate Schierholtz hit his second home run of the game leading off the bottom of the 14th inning to give the San Francisco Giants a 6-5 victory over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night. Schierholtz had three hits and drove in three runs for the Giants, who beat the Padres for just the third time in 12 games at AT&T Park. Javier Lopez (4-1) threw two scoreless innings while Pat Neshak (1-1) took the loss. Pablo Sandoval drove in three runs, including the game-tying runs in the eighth inning, as the Giants rallied from a three-run decit. Andres Torres had three hits. 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. Orlando Hudson singled with two outs in the sixth, stole second and advanced to third on Chris Stewarts throwing error. He scored on Johnsons single to make it 5-3. Torres sparked the tying rally with a one-out single off Moseley. Adams came in and allowed Brandon Crawfords single ahead of Sandovals drive into the right-center eld alley.

Elise Thorsnes had given Norway the lead in the 56th minute, but Simon tied it just a minute later. Her powerful header from Kim Carrolls corner kick then sealed the win in the 87th. Before 18,474 fans at the Bay Arena, neither side created any clearcut chances before the game came to life when Thorsnes capitalized on a defensive mixup to open the scoring.

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 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. With a runner on second, Masetti elded a grounder and threw to rst for one out. 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. Redwood City upped its lead to 3-1 in the top of the third on a Crowell RBI single before the Pacica American bats nally got going.

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.

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.
THU FRI SAT SUN
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.

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-

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.
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

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.

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.

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

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. If youre abrasive, so will they. sCOrPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A pal of yours who is much better at engineering a loan than paying one off could tap you for an advance. Dont be caught off guard and let him or her hit you up. saGITTarIus (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Put friendship
above a personal desire that can be satisfied at another time, especially when dealing with a sensitive chum. Hurt feelings happen quicker than reconciliation.

Early news could be either far too limited or extremely distorted. aQuarIus (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Only when you have the time to fully develop any opportunities that are presently at hand will you know for sure where they will take you. Dont prematurely assume the results. PIsCEs (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It wont be due to sheer luck that things will work out so well for you. Most good things that happen will be the result of you utilizing your smarts and talents to the fullest.
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. Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- If you could use some help, dont suffer in silence -- let your needs be known. There are a number of people wholl step up to the plate and knock out a dinger for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dont worry, youll have the edge should you find yourself smack in the middle of a competitive involvement. Use all your energy concentrating on winning.

By Seth Borenstein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Space Shuttle Atlantis lifts off from Launch Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center in this NASA.
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.
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.
