500 workers concede millions


Four unions renegotiate contracts;county to save $4.5 million in short term
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

More than 500 county employees have conceded nearly $4.5 million in wages and benets that span the next ve years after negotiating new agreements. The county sought the savings as it grapples to trim from an ongoing structural decit that has now passed the $100 million mark.

The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors approved new labor contracts with four unions yesterday that will also save the county millions in long-term health and retirement costs. Agreements were reached with the California Nurses Association, San Mateo County Council of Engineers, the Building Construction and Trades Council Operating Engineers Local 3 and the Organization of

Sheriffs Sergeants. The countys 374 nurses received an immediate pay boost of 2 percent once the contract was approved yesterday and will receive 2 percent market adjustments to pay in both 2012 and 2013. The nurses accepted a wage freeze three years ago and are paid well below the median salary of nurses who work in neighboring counties, Donna Vaillancourt, the countys

human resources director told the board yesterday. The nurses deal will save the county $2.9 million over the course of the contract, which expires in 2014. The deal will also save the county roughly $2.8 million in long-term retirement costs, Vaillancourt said. Members of all four labor groups will now

Back-to-school costs rise County takes


By Eileen AJ Connelly
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Paper and pens are just the beginning of back-to-school expenses for a growing number of families. State and local governments are cutting back, leading more public school districts to charge kids to compete in sports or play in the band. Such fees, commonly known as payto-participate or pay-to-play cropped up in the 1980s. Initially, most of the extra fees were tied to athletics, particularly expensive sports like football and hockey. Researching schools in Ohio in the late 1990s as part of his research for his Ph.D., Scott Smith found that about 20 percent of its school districts required some fees to play sports. Today, the practice is proliferating, said Smith, now chairman of the Department of Physical Education and Sport at Central Michigan University. Across the country, theres kind of a national phenomenon taking place, he said. Obviously school budgets are being cut everywhere, and as school budgets are cut extracurriculars are cut. And its not just sports. From Connecticut to Arizona, districts are adding fees to participate in after-school clubs, music programs and other activities. The price tags vary some districts charge more for expensive sports while others set at rates. Its not uncommon for districts to set an annual cap for families with more than one student enrolled in a school. Payson High School in Payson, Ariz., for instance, assesses a $200 sports Advertisement participation fee for students to try out and play one of 14 sports. A second sport is $50. There is no charge for a third sport, and fees are capped at $400 per family. The school also charges fees for certain electives: $20 for art or business and $40 for computer tech, for example. These fees help defray the costs of equipment, uniforms, transportation and sometimes coaches or advisors. In some districts they might be designated as transportation fees or given some other label, depending on local

San Mateo County took a stand against predatory lenders yesterday with a vow to nd alternatives for people who get stuck in a cycle of borrowing money from payday lenders at exorbitant rates. The county Board of Supervisors approved a resolution that also calls for preventing blight and the overconcentration of payday lenders in lowRose Jacobs Gibson income communities. Annually, county residents pay nearly $6.1 million in fees to the 24 payday lenders that operate here, according to a report by Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson.

What is your shoe size, Eva Fordham asked her petite shopping companion at the Redwood City Target Tuesday morning. Thirteen and a half, 6-year-old Lucero Perez answered. Its on my shoe. After knowing the size, the hunt was on for boots that would work with her school uniform. The ladies were paired up Tuesday as part of a back-to-school shopping spree made possible through a partnership between the Salvation Army and Target. About 30 Redwood City students were chosen to participate Tuesday. Each was given an $80 gift card to purchase back-to-school supplies along with a volunteer chaperone to

help with the shopping. We wanted to give them the opportunity to be prepared for education, said Salvation Army Capt. Maria Espinoza. Fordham, nancial development director for the Salvation Army Golden State Division, has participated in the event for three years. She even helped Perezs older sister last year. Its really important. As a kid, we just went back-to-school shopping, said Fordham. Many of these children dont have the opportunity to otherwise prepare for school with a back-to-school shopping trip. Families are identied through social services networks and outreach already done by the Salvation Army, said Capt. Andres

Teaching women to invest in themselves


Luncheon series aims to help improve personal and financial lives
By Yvette Borja
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Police reports
Thats hard to do
An engine was taken and the tires were popped on a vehicle parked on Sun Blossom Lane in Redwood City before 12:30 a.m. Saturday, July 9.

The term investing involves more than just stocks and bonds, according to the women of the Hewins Financial Group. The Hewins Financial Advisors, in an effort to help women invest in themselves both in their personal and nancial lives has begun a series of ongoing luncheons titled Invest in Yourself. Hewins is planning on holding the luncheons regularly, about once every three months. The kickoff luncheon was held on Friday, July 15 and featured three speakers, Colleen Jordan Hallinan, Elena Daciuk and Susan Kokores, each with their own specic skill sets that offered three different angles from which to understand female empowerment. Susan Kokores, co-founder of the nonprot Women Achievement Network and Development Alliance gave an overview of the organization, outlining their mission and their accomplishments thus far. WANDA is dedicated to educating low-income single mothers how to effectively invest their money We are helping to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty, Kokores said. WANDA offers women a three-year long course on smart investing and then matches the savings they accumulate over that time. The funds they acquire can then be used for college for either themselves or their children, as startup money for a business, retirement funds, or, in some cases, for the purchase of a new home. Glowe Chang, who also works for

Women love two-thirds of what they buy and one-third of what is in their closet.That just doesnt make sense.

Burglary. A window of a silver Chrysler van was smashed on South Airport Boulevard before 9:49 p.m. Thursday, July 21. Vehicle stolen. A vehicle was stolen at the intersection of East Grand and Allerton avenues before 6:37 p.m. Thursday, July 21. Petty theft. An iPod and other miscellaneous items were stolen from an unlocked black Dodge minivan on A Street before 6:02 p.m. Thursday, July 21. Burglary. A burglary occurred on Turnberry Drive before 3:51 p.m. Thursday, July 21. Warrant arrest. A warrant arrest was made on the intersection of Westborough and Callan boulevards before 10:45 p.m. Wednesday, July 20.

WANDA, praised the nonprot for giving resources to those who would otherwise not have access to information about nancial investment. You can learn something no matter what your education base, Chang said. Elena Daciuk, a wardrobe consultant, turns attention toward a different topic: affordable fashion. Daciuk aids her clients in reimagining their current wardrobe to create new outts without having to spend more money. Women love two-thirds of what they buy and one-third of what is in their closet. That just doesnt make sense, Daciuk said. For Daciuk, practicality trumps trendiness. A classic piece, such as a black blazer, is a much better investment than a funky piece that will only last you one or two seasons, Daciuk said. She advises only buying clothing pieces that could be worn in at least three different ways. Creating a new outt does not necessarily mean buying new pieces, but instead, can simply mean adding an accessory that will give it a different look, she said. Daciuk explained that a persons closet should match their lifestyle. Whatever percentage a certain activity takes up of your life, that percentage should match up with the amount of clothes you have for that activity in your closet, Daciuk said.

Colleen Jordan Hallinan, senior vice president of Hewins Financial Advisors, provided tips for smart investing as well as an overview of the services that the company provides for its clients. Hallinan described her approach to investing as straightforward and practical. Reacting to the market is like Vegas. Its a gamble, Hallinan said. She explained that peoples impulsive reactions to large economic crises only worsen the existing market. A way to avoid being impacted by the constantly uctuating market is simple: a moderate, well-diversified portfolio, she said. Hallinan explained, with this as a starting point, Hewins Financial Advisors will then personalize their clients investment strategy to best t their specic needs. Listening to over-generalized suggestions is like investment pornography. Mainstream investing isnt always the answer, Hallinan said. Lynn Cole, a luncheon attendee, said she enjoyed the luncheons diversity of topics and would denitely recommend the event to her friends. It was just enough time, not too technical and lots of fun, Cole said. For more information visit http://hewinsnancial.com/.

taking ofce in January. Liu would replace Carlos Moreno, who stepped down in February to go into private practice. After his nomination by Obama, Liu, 40, picked up support from some notable conservatives such as forGoodwin Liu mer U.S. Solicitor General Ken Starr, who viewed him as a rising legal scholar. But his nomination was blocked by Republicans, who objected to Lius written positions and said he was too inexperienced for the post. Specifically, some GOP senators took exception to written testimony Liu submitted in 2006 opposing the conrmation of Samuel Alito, who went on to win an appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court. Liu wrote that Alito was at the margin, not the mainstream, as an appellate judge unworthy of appointment to the high court. Judge Alitos record envisions an America where police may shoot and kill an unarmed boy to stop him from running away with a stolen purse, Liu wrote. During his own conrmation process before the U.S. Senate, Liu agreed with Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Oklahoma, that submitting that type of testimony was a case of poor judgment. Liu said he should have omitted that paragraph from his written testimony. A few Republican senators also said they were troubled by Liu joining 16 other law professors who in 2007 urged the California Supreme Court to strike down the states gay marriage ban. The state Supreme Court did end the ban, but later upheld a voter-approved initiative to reinstate it. In the end, Liu could muster only one Republican vote and a total of 53 votes when 60 were needed to bring his conrmation to a vote. He withdrew his candidacy in May, nearly a year after the presidents nomination. I noticed he was having trouble getting conrmed in the Congress, Brown said Tuesday during a news conference in San Francisco. Because of that process, his strengths and his biography came to my attention.

Local brief
Mountain lion believed to have killed livestock near Half Moon Bay
State fish and game officials believe a mountain lion is responsible for killing several sheep and goats overnight near Half Moon Bay, San Mateo County emergency ofcials said. The animals were found dead Tuesday morning in the area of 1500 Purisima Creek Road, just south of Half Moon Bay. They were last seen alive at about 7 p.m. Monday, ofcials said. Wildlife ofcials from the Department of Fish and Game examined the animals and determined that they had likely been killed by a mountain lion. Anyone who encounters a mountain lion is advised to pick up children, face the animal, make noise and try to look bigger by waving arms and throwing rocks, emergency ofcials said. More information about mountain lions is available at www.keepmewild.org.

SAN FRANCISCO A California law professor was nominated Tuesday for the California Supreme Court, just two months after criticism by Republicans led him to withdraw his candidacy for the second-highest court in the country. Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, said he didnt buy into Republican criticism faced by University of California, Berkeley law professor Goodwin Liu after he was nominated by President Barack Obama for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. In fact, Brown said the high-prole failure of Lius nomination propelled him to the top of Browns list for the California Supreme Court vacancy. Brown called Liu an extraordinary man and a distinguished legal scholar who is battletested to win conrmation after being closely vetted and cleared by the Obama administration and attacked by the best and sharpest politicians in the country. It was Browns rst judicial nomination since

State borrowing $5 billion ahead of possible debt crisis
SACRAMENTO California borrowed $5.4 billion from private investors Tuesday as a hedge against a possible default by the federal government. State Treasurer Bill Lockyer secured the package of short-term loans from a group of banks, credit unions and investment funds so the state can avoid a potential cash shortage if the federal government fails to extend its debt ceiling. If that happens, the government could shortchange states on health care and education funding. The treasurer said he took the step as a precaution if the federal government cant meet all its obligations.

Bathroom photographer to be jailed


DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

The cosmetology student who photographed a teenage boy using the Sequoia High School bathroom during a job fair will need to turn himself in Sept. 10 after losing an appeal of his 2009 conviction on charges of annoying a child and videotaping without consent. David Gene Hill, 35, of Palo Alto, is scheduled to surrender Sept. 10 to begin a 90-day sentence and mandatory sex offender registration, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. The order, given Tuesday, came two years after the conviction was handed down. In 2009, Judge Norman Gatzert vacated the orig-

inal surrender date and allowed Hill to remain out of custody while the case was appealed to the California Court of Appeal. Hill lost that appeal in April. He then sought review by the California Supreme Court. Hill was sentenced to three months in jail and three years probation after a jury convicted him of the two misdemeanors and acquitted him of felony child pornography possession. On March 29, 2007, Hill, a cosmetology student at the College of San Mateo, offered hair cuts during a job fair at the high school. During a break, he allegedly entered the boys bathroom, leaned over the stall and took a photo of a 15-year-old boy urinating. The stu-

dent grabbed Hill in a headlock and called police. During booking at the county jail, a deputy reported nding a camera hidden in Hills pants. Prosecutors said the camera contained child pornography although the jury later found Hill not guilty of that crime. On June 26, 2009, Judge Norman Gatzert imposed the jail and probation terms as well as ordered Hill to lifetime registration and sex offender counseling. Hill was also ordered to have no association with minors, not to reside in a home with minors present and have no contact with them via the Internet.

Boys admit to sex attack
Three middle school boys admitted Monday to sex-related crimes related to a March attack on two 12-year-old girls during a school eld trip to a Redwood City park in March. Two boys, 13 and 14 years old, admitted to lewd and lascivious conduct which could mean up to eight years in a state juvenile detention facility, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. A 12-year-old boy admitted to sexual battery, which could mean one year in custody. Two other boys were involved with the incident. All of the boys will be in court again Friday, Aug. 5. Names of the boys were not released because they are minors. Four remain in custody while one, one of the three who entered a plea, is under house arrest. School district ofcials said the alleged attack occurred March 4 when 20 Kennedy Middle School students went to the park chaperoned by a teacher and an aide. The girls didnt share details of the assault until June while talking to a school counselor. The Redwood City Elementary School District is conducting an internal investigation of the incident and the safety procedures in place.

Six digital cameras stolen from high school classroom


Someone stole six digital cameras from a Palo Alto High School classroom over the weekend, according to police. The burglary occurred sometime between 5:30 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. Monday, police Agent Sal Madrigal said. The thief or thieves entered a science building at the school and took six cameras from a le cabinet, he said. Madrigal said neither the classroom nor the le cabinet was locked, and there was no sign of a break-in. He said it is possible the person responsible is a student, as the school is hosting a summer science camp. Everyone has access to the building, Madrigal said. The cameras were Canon and Nikon models valued at $600 each, Madrigal said.

HARTFORD, Conn. A mountain lion killed on a Connecticut highway last month had apparently walked halfway across the country from South Dakota, according to Connecticut environmental ofcials who said Tuesday that the journey of roughly 2,000 miles was one of the longest ever recorded for a land mammal. The animal originated in the Black Hills region of South Dakota and was tracked by DNA from its hair and droppings as it passed through Minnesota and Wisconsin in 2009 and 2010, Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Commissioner Daniel Esty said at a news conference. Biologists estimate the size of the mountain lion population at about 100,000 in North America, mostly living in western regions and seldom traveling more than 100 miles. It was the rst conrmed wild mountain lion in Connecticut in more than 100 years. It is a testament to the adaptability of the species that it can travel so far from its

original home in South Dakota to Connecticut, Esty said. The lean, 140pound male was killed June 11 when it was hit by a sport utility vehicle at night on the Wilbur Cross Parkway in the New Haven suburb of Milford. Authorities initially believed it was a captive animal that escaped, but tests showed that it was not neutered or declawed and it had no implanted microchips, which are commonly used in domestic animals. Tests also determined it was likely the

same one that had been seen earlier in Greenwich, Conn., a New York City suburb 30 miles away. The death was followed by a urry of big cat sightings in the suburbs of Connecticut, but experts dismissed most of them as unreliable. Government experts say no native mountain lions are believed to live in Connecticut. Although it was an anomaly, Esty said the presence of the wild mountain lion is a good sign of the ability of Connecticuts conserved land to sustain wildlife. He said the discovery is a strong symbol of what we had all hoped for who work in the conservation area, that wilderness areas and biological diversity can be preserved and protected. Genetic testing showed the cat had the same genetic structure of the mountain lion population in South Dakotas Black Hills region. The U.S. Department of Agricultures Forest Service Wildlife Genetics Laboratory in Missoula, Mont., matched the DNA with samples collected from a cat that was spotted in eastern Minnesota near Minneapolis and in northern Wisconsin from late 2009 through early 2010.

Study: Medicare drug plan saves hospital costs

Trapped climber rescued uninjured from cliff


A climber trapped on a Daly City cliff was rescued by re crews Monday afternoon, according to the North County Fire Authority. The climber in distress was in the area of Mussel Rock Park on Westline Drive when two re companies, one rescue unit and a chief ofcer responded to the area at about 4:40 p.m. The arriving company reported that the climber was located approximately 200 feet down a cliff from the parking lot, according to the re authority. Crews used a cable winch with a rope back-up system to bring the climber to the top of the bluff. The climber was uninjured. Trustee Jay Price led to run for another term on the Millbrae Elementary School District Board of Trustees. *** All three Redwood City Elementary School District Board incumbents Alisa Greene MacAvoy, Shelly Masur and Dennis McBride led to run for re-election. *** Belmont City Clerk Terri Cook led to run for re-election.

CHICAGO A new study suggests that Medicares 5-year-old prescription drug plan is keeping seniors out of hospitals and nursing homes, saving the federal program an estimated $12 billion a year in those costs. The savings only offset a portion of the $55 billion a year the government spends on Medicare Part D, as the drug plan is known. But the studys authors say it means seniors are staying healthier and enjoying a better quality of life.

This is what people always hope for: If people get drug coverage, they wont need hospitalization, said Marsha Gold of the nonpartisan Mathematica Policy Research, who wasnt involved in the new study. If it holds up, thats great news. The Harvard analysis, appearing in Wednesdays Journal of the American Medical Association, found Medicare saved an average of about $1,200 a year for each senior citizen who had inadequate drug coverage before Medicare Part D. Most of the savings came from hospital and nursing home costs.

That translates to an annual savings of $12 billion, experts said. With subsidized drug coverage, seniors can afford drugs that prevent trips to the emergency room by lowering cholesterol and blood pressure and controlling diabetes, said lead author Dr. Michael McWilliams of Harvard Medical School. Other savings come from doctors no longer admitting patients to hospitals just so Medicare would pay for drug treatments like injectable clot-busting drugs for deep vein thrombosis that can be given more cheaply in a doctors ofce, McWilliams said.

In 2004, he won despite acknowledging a decades-old college incident in which he tried to force a former girlfriend to have sex. Voters said they disliked an opponents attempt to use that against Wu as part of a political campaign.

Conservative ire threatens GOP debt plan


By Charles Babington
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Thwarted by conservatives in his own Republican Party, House Speaker John Boehner scrambled Tuesday to secure enough GOP votes to beat a fast-closing Aug. 2 deadline and stave off the potential financial chaos of the nations first-ever default. Even with time running out, the speaker promised to quickly rewrite his debt-ceiling legislation after budget ofcials said it would cut spending less than advertised. Meanwhile, public head-butting between Democratic President Barack Obama and the Republicans showed no sign of easing. The White House declared Obama would veto the Boehner bill, even if it somehow got through the House and the Democratic-controlled Senate. For all that, it was the tea party-backed members of Boehners own party who continued to vex him, and heavily inuence the debt and decit negotiating terms not to mention his chances of holding on to the speakership. Their adamant opposition to any tax increases forced Boehner to back away from a grand bargain with Obama that might have made dramatic cuts in government spending. Yet when Boehner turned this week to a more modest cost-cutting plan, with no tax hikes, many conservatives balked again. They said the proposal lacked the more potent tools they seek, such as a constitutional mandate for balanced budgets. Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, chairman of a large group of conservative Republicans, sent a tremor through the Capitol Tuesday when he said he doubted Boehner had enough support to pass his plan Wednesday, when it is scheduled for a vote. The Boehner bill would require congressional action to raise the debt ceiling this summer, and again

before the 2012 elections. Obama strongly opposes that last requirement, arguing that it would reopen the delicate and crucial debt discussions to unending political pressure during next years campaigns. The president supports a separate bill, pushed by Majority Leader Harry Reid in the Democratic-controlled Senate, that would raise the debt ceiling enough to tide the government over through next year and the elections. Boehner wasnt helped by an ofcial congressional analysis late Tuesday that said his plan would produce smaller savings than originally promised less than $1 trillion in spending cuts over the coming decade rather than the $1.2 trillion he estimated on Monday. Boehners ofce said it would rewrite the legislation to make sure the spending cuts exceed the amount the debt limit would be raised. Adding a political touch, it accused the Democrats of declining to put forward specics subject to the same sort of review. Earlier, responding to the conservative Republican opposition, Boehner quickly went on Rush Limbaughs radio show, then he began one-on-one chats with wavering Republicans on the House oor during midday roll call votes. He has to convince a few people, Rep. Tom Petri, R-Wis., observed dryly from a doorway. A serious, almost dire urgency ran through Boehners efforts. The clock was ticking down to next Tuesdays deadline to continue the governments borrowing powers and avert possible defaults on U.S. loans. Congressional veterans say a nal-hour bargain cant be reached until both parties irrefutably prove to themselves and the public that neither the Democrats top goals nor the Republicans can be reached in the divided Congress.

Debt differences narrowing


By David Espo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Pitched partisan rhetoric aside, the differences are narrowing, not widening, as the divided U.S. government struggles to avert a nancial default that neither President Barack Obama nor the leaders of Congress say they want. Which helps explain why day-old legislation unveiled by the House Republican leadership pulled off something of a political trifecta on Tuesday. Several rank-and-file conservatives in Speaker John Boehners Republican party

attacked it from the right. From other points on the political spectrum, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid labeled it dead on arrival in his Democratic-controlled chamber. And moments later the White House said if the measure somehow managed to clear Congress, the presidents senior advisers would recommend that he veto this bill. Yet the legislation also represents signicant movement from a bill the House passed last week, roughly half of its mandated spending cuts, for example. Just as Reid no longer is insisting on having tax increases as part of any plan to cut decits.

Burial or Cremation: Why does this matter?


By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Are you ever asked the question: Burial or Cremation? Im sure youve thought about this but have you ever seriously thought about this? It is tough for some of us to give this topic the time of day but for many more of us this is a topic of curiosity, and also a topic we will need to deal with at some point in our lives. Burial or Cremation is always a personal choice but did you know that in the long run there is little difference between the two, also a BIG difference but not in the way you think? In the eyes of the state both Burial and Cremation are considered a form of final disposition. Still, it is not that simple. A basic explanation would be this: Burial is a final location; Cremation is a step to a final location. What does this mean? In scenario number one: following a visitation & funeral service the deceased is taken to a specific cemetery to be placed in either a ground burial location or a mausoleum space BUT in a second scenario: following that same visitation & funeral service the deceased would be taken to a crematory to complete the cremation process. When the cremated remains are ready a choice would be needed by the next of kin on whether the cremated remains are to be buried in a cemetery, scattered at sea, taken home, etc. So, when Cremation is selected, Burial can still be the final disposition following the cremation, among other choices. People dont deal with this topic every day, and I know that it is imagined by some that Cremation means the deceased is taken away and will just disappear. That is never the case, and there is always the necessity to properly give the deceased a final resting place. The state legally requires it, and the funeral home is mandated to complete & file necessary paperwork reflecting it prior to any final disposition. I know all this may seem complicated, but it is our job as Funeral Directors to make it all very simple and guide you every step of the way. It is our duty to support families as they maneuver through a sometimes daunting situation and unfamiliar territory, and to provide various options on what is available. Many prefer to make pre-need arrangements years in advance so choices can be made in a more relaxed atmosphere. Pause and imagine yourself as the next of kin following the death of a loved one and being asked the question Burial or Cremation?. Can you knowledgeably answer that? It may be a good idea to at least give the question some thought now. Ive served a few families in the past who couldnt answer that question and ended up making a quick decision they later regretted. It wont hurt to let this topic cross your mind, or even to discuss this question with your family, loved ones, clergy or those who give you support. Look back at your family traditions and use that as a guide. Its important for those who care to have a way to say farewell, and for many to have a place to go following the funeral as a way to visit and begin the healing process. 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.

Doctor: Mubarak has refused to eat for four days
SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has refused to eat for four days, has lost weight and is weak, his chief doctor said Tuesday, increasing speculation that the ousted leader wont stand trial next week as scheduled. Any delay in Mubaraks trial would likely further ename tensions between the military council ruling Egypt since Mubaraks fall and protesters frustrated with the pace of change. Many Egyptians already accuse the army of dragging its feet in prosecuting former regime gures and ofcials accused of killing protesters during the 18-day uprising that toppled Mubarak on Feb. 11. Clashes erupted last week in Cairo after thousands of protesters tried to march on the militarys headquarters and were met by men with knives, stick and clubs. Hundreds were injured before security forces dispersed the crowds with clouds of tear gas. On Tuesday, Assam Azzam, the head of Mubaraks medical team, said the former leader was weak and had lost weight after refusing to eat for four days.

Norway police slammed for slow response


OSLO, Norway When Anders Behring Breivik launched his assault on the youth campers of Utoya Island, he expected Norways special forces to swoop down and stop him at any minute. Instead, Delta Force police ofcers made the 25-mile journey by car they have no helicopter then had to be rescued by a civilian craft when their boat broke down as it tried to navigate a oneminute hop to the island. It took police more than 90 minutes to reach the gunman, who by then had mortally wounded 68 people. Breivik immediately dropped his guns and surrendered, having exceeded his wildest murderous expectations. As Oslos police force sounds an increasingly defensive note, international experts said Tuesday that Norways government and security forces must learn stark lessons from a massacre made worse by a lackadaisical approach to planning for terror. Children were being slaughtered for an hour and a half and the police should have stopped it much sooner, said Mads Andenas, a law professor at the University of Oslo whose niece was on the island and survived by hiding in the bushes. One of his students was killed. Even taking all the extenuating circumstances into account, it is unforgivable, he said. These include the fact that Breivik preceded his one-man assault on the island with a car bomb in the heart of Oslos government center. Authorities were focused on helping survivors from that blast as the rst frantic calls came in from campers hiding from the gunman on Utoya, northwest of Oslo. Survivors said they struggled to get their panicked pleas heard because oper-

U.S.: Bin Laden death ups terror risk for Americans


WASHINGTON The Obama administration says Osama bin Ladens death has raised the risk of anti-American violence worldwide. The State Department said in a global travel warning Tuesday that Americans should take precaution and maintain vigilance about terrorist threats, demonstrations and the possibility of violence against U.S. citizens. It said al-Qaida and other groups are planning terrorist attacks against U.S. interests in Europe, Asia, Africa and Middle East. The department said attacks may be in the form of suicide operations, assassinations, kidnappings, hijackings and bombings.

Police women hold owers as they take part in a march near Utoeya island to pay their respects for the victims of the killing spree and bomb attack in Norway, in the village of Sundvollen,northwest of Oslo.
ators on emergency lines were rejecting calls not connected to the Oslo bomb. When police nally realized a gunman was shooting teens and 20-somethings attending a youth retreat on the island, Breivik had already been hunting them down for half an hour. In a nal act of bungling, police on Monday revised the island death toll down to 68, after initially miscounting the corpses at 86. Breiviks lawyer, Geir Lippestad, said Tuesday his client was surprised he even made it onto the island without being stopped by police, never mind that he was left to re his assault rie and handgun for so long. The islands lone part-time security guard was among the rst people he killed. Police spokesman Johan Fredriksen rebuffed criticism Tuesday of the planning and equipment failures, calling such comments unworthy. We can take a lot, were professional, but we are also human beings, he said. International experts said Norway must take a hard look at a response system apparently premised on the assumption that the country didnt face a credible risk of terrorist attack, much less a back-to-back bombing and gun rampage. That could be difcult in a country renowned for a culture of openness that has led to jaw-dropping security lapses in the past. Norways most infamous crimes before Friday involved the 1994 and 2004 thefts of artworks by its bestknown painter, Edvard Munch. In the rst theft, the robbers left their ladder propped up against an unlocked National Gallery window and replaced Munchs The Scream with a mocking note: Thanks for the poor security.

Herniated Disc? Severe Back/Neck Pain? Sciatica?


Spinal Decompression may be your answer to minimizing your chronic pain and restoring better motion and function back to your spine.
At Crossroads Health Center, your Satisfaction is Guaranteed. Let us help you get the quality of life back that you deserve.
y name is Dr. Thomas Ferrigno D.C., owner of Crossroads Health Center in Campbell and San Mateo. I understand what it feels like to live with chronic back pain. Due to several auto accidents and sports injuries, I have personally suffered from multiple disc herniations in both my neck and lower back and understand rsthand the severe pain and disability that comes with these types of injuries to the point where I was forced to sell all 3 of my practices. I did not want to have spinal surgery due to the high risk; instead I wanted a non-surgical non-invasive therapy that would help me manage my condition. That is when I turned to Spinal Decompression, not as a doctor, but as a patient and it completely changed my life. Within a few months my pain went from severe to mild and I was able to return back to my activities of golf, weight lifting and spending quality time with my family. It has been my mission ever since to share this great new technology with as many people as possible. While non-surgical spinal decompression is a rather new treatment, theres plenty of research to back up its claims. Give us a call and we will send you the studies or visit my website at www.BayAreaBackPain.Com. However its the results we see every day in our ofce that get us so excited about this new non-invasive treatment. Read what a few of our patients are saying. My severe lower back and sciatica pain have been reduced signicantly since receiving spinal decompression therapy. I am now able to walk, golf and do things without pain that I havent been able to do for years. Thank you, Dr. Ferrigno C.M. Allard During the 1 1/2 years of having constant daily lower back pain and spasms, I took anti-inammatory and pain medication, but nothing helped lessen the pain. Physical therapy didnt help. When an MRI showed that I had two degenerative discs, I went through a series of lumbar epidural injections. The rst one helped a tiny bit, but the others didnt do a thing for my pain. The only thing that made the pain and spasms go away was Spinal Decompression treatments at Crossroads Health Center. Four years later and I am still pain-free! Lisa K..

Severe back pain and sciatica puts a halt to any enjoyment in life. But now there is hope . . .

put on my shoes!? Why cant I breathe? Where are the cats!? I cant remember how to breathe! I had been resident of San Francisco for 30 years, loved the city and always viewed it as my home. Unfortunately, my partner and I had a tough decision to make after a series of spine surgeries in 2008 and 2009 had forced us to consider leaving our three-story townhouse in the city to nd a one-level home that could better accommodate our medical limitations. Since we both worked in San Francisco and since the last surgery had left me unable to be in a car for long periods of time, we both knew that we would have to limit any home search to areas close enough to our jobs. After a lot of discussion, a lot of worry and few sleepless nights, we nally made the decision to leave the city and try to nd a new home in the Crestmoor section of San Bruno. We started looking in early 2010. Look behind the television! Is that my hand shaking?! Is it your hand?! Did I just say that out loud? Where is the phone?! Why is 911 busy?! Am I breathing?! I dont think Im breathing! Get the cat carriers! There he is! Grab him! Ill take him! Look for her! I cant get the carrier door closed! Why are my ngers not working?! Am I really lifting this?!

A landscape changed:The trauma of the San Bruno gas explosion


By Debra Marks, Ph.D.

Guest perspective
offer rejected both times. With each offer, our excitement would grow, and with each rejection, that same excitement would plummet when we learned someone else had received the house. The repeated effort left us weary, and with our townhouse already in escrow, we felt mounting pressure to nd something quickly. People tried to reassure us by telling us that it would happen, the right house was out there, that threes a charm, but it did little to provide comfort. The deadline for us to be out of our home was growing closer, and the search was taking a physical and emotional toll on both of us. For months, we juggled our work-lives and our search-lives, but eventually, we found a new home. It was larger than we needed or wanted, but we knew that we were out of options. Worst-case scenario, our 11-month-old kittens, Zoey and Pax, would get their own room. We laughed at the ridiculousness of it. It was the rst laugh we had had in a long time. The moving process followed in the footsteps of our search. It, too, was very difcult on both of us. Because of our physical limitations, we had to hire people to do everything for us, and in typical fashion, nothing seemed to go as planned. Comcast got the service termination dates wrong. AT&T couldnt get the phone to work. The new custom window coverings were measured incorrectly and had to be sent back. The list of mishaps and challenges seemed endless. Finally, after even more stress and more sleepless nights, we managed to move into our San Bruno home late June 2010. Two and a half months later, everything changed. Our new neighborhood was in ames. Where is Zoey?! Look under the chair! Im taking Pax to the car! Hurry! Is that our neighbor standing in front of her house?! Why is she not moving? Get in your car and drive away now! Did I really just scream at her?! Theres another one! Shes frozen! Is it cold outside?! I cant remember her name! Do I know her name?! I better run to her! Am I running?! You need to leave now! Why am I screaming at all of our neighbors?! Why is it so loud outside?! Am I driving?! I dont remember how to drive! Where am I going?! Youre shivering! Oh my god! Dont turn around! The ames! It is hard to describe what trauma feels like when it comes at you with lightning speed, when it makes an impact unexpectedly, when you look down and see it sitting in your lap. Moments before, your lap was empty. Suddenly, it is lled with terror. At rst, you stare breathless with confusion. Then there is an overriding need to make sense out of what you are seeing. After that, the chills set in. Most people think that the explosion in San Bruno occurred on Sept. 9, 2010. That is not the whole story. The explosion also occurred every day since then. It occurred in articles that talked about missing documents and erasable ink. It occurred with every plane that ew overhead and every thunderstorm that no longer felt exciting. It occurred when yesterdays apparent truths became todays unquestionable lies. It occurred with the smells of a Fourth of July barbecue and the

hat is that roaring sound? Where is it coming from? Is it a jet? Its right above us. No, its underneath us. How can a jet be underneath us? The house is shaking. Is it lifting up and down? No, wait its squeaking in and out. How can the house be squeaking in and out? Is it an earthquake? Earthquakes dont squeeze. Why is the air roaring? Why is it getting louder!? Is it surrounding us? Is there an engine on our roof!? Wait! What was that!? What was that!? On Sept. 9, 2010 at approximately 6:15 p.m., my life took a dramatic turn when a high pressure gas transmission line, known by Pacic Gas and Electric as line 132, exploded down the block from my home, causing a monstrous reball that killed eight of my neighbors, injured many others and destroyed and damaged countless homes. Now, as the one-year anniversary of that day approaches, I feel the time is right to nally have voice, not just about the disaster as I experienced and witnessed it, but about the aftermath and residue that occurs when trauma reaches into your life in violent and unexpected way. What just happened!? Did a plane crash!? I need to go look! Am I walking to the window? Are my feet moving? Wait! What was that!? An explosion!? Duck! Duck! Oh my god, oh my god! Its a re! Right there! Look! Behind their house! A plane must have crashed! Is it a terrorist attack!? Oh my god! Hurry! We have to get out! Theres heat coming through the glass! The cats! Where are the cats!? Weve got to get the cats out! Put on your shoes! How do I

rumble of a truck making a routine delivery. It occurred with every phone call from the insurance company that left us feeling as though we were haggling over the price of a new car. It occurred in the nightmares that disrupted our sleep and in the startled eyes of our very young animals. It occurred when six months after the pipeline explosion, we received notications from PG&E that we live within 2,000 feet of a high pressure gas transmission line. Yes, we have been inching our way toward recovery, but, for us and many others, our neighborhood is still exploding. There is no sense to be found in trauma. None. Sense is not part of the traumatic equation. For my partner and I, this year was supposed to be a new beginning. Our home in San Bruno was supposed to be a safe and softer place for us to land, a place that would better accommodate our aging and medical challenges. While it is true that we are two of the fortunate ones, that we have suffered only minor damage compared to many, that we have not lost our lives or our home, we are still left facing a very similar and unexpected task. Nearly one year later, with rebuilding under way, we stand along the fences of many vacant lots, trying to heal from the trauma that has changed our inner landscape.

Shouldve,wouldve,couldve

have a lot of questions for Mark Olbert regarding his guest perspective, Its called accountability in the July 23 and 24 editions of the Daily Journal. First, how do you sue someone for failing to meet expectations? You cant. There is no legal precedent for such a thing. There is no case law for such a thing. Next, what exact state law generally requires school districts to invest funds not needed to pay bills with

their county treasurers office? I could not locate such a law. Im a paralegal. What exact contract between the county treasury and the San Carlos Elementary School District was entered? What was the exact wording of the contract? Were there any specific performance measurements that the county treasurer was required to meet and/or exceed, as listed in the contract? Were there any restrictions placed on the county treasurer listed in the contract? Or was it just do the best you can? I know the county treasurer has a fiduciary duty to properly man-

Guest perspective
age the various funds entrusted to his office. With the amount of experience he and his staff have, those districts that place their funds with the county Treasurers Office have a reasonable expectation that their money is in safe hands. But investing is still a gamble. Investing involves a lot of different factors, influences, circumstances, speculation, timing and decision making all in the hopes that a good return on investment will occur. There is no guarantee. I truly believe that someone has to be held accountable for this financial disaster. But unless there is some direct evidence that the county treasury made some intentional mistakes or unless there was a reasonable belief that the treasury shouldve known what exact, perfect, never fail technique to investing the various funds entrusted to him and his office, the question is: Where was the oversight and communications between the county and

the school district? Otherwise, its just shouldve, wouldve, couldve. I personally believe that the person or persons to blame are the people at Lehman Brothers plus the investors and speculators who violated Securities Exchange Commission laws and regulations that caused the collapse of our economy in late 2008.

NEW YORK A White House threat to veto legislation that would avert a debt default pushed stocks lower Tuesday. Major indexes were already down for the day when the White House said it would object to a Republican plan in the House of Representatives that calls for raising the debt limit by $1 trillion. The plan would require the debt issue to be voted on again next year, something President Barack Obama does not want. The stalemate over raising the countrys borrowing limit has rattled investors. If an agreement is not reached by Aug. 2, the U.S. wont have enough cash to pay all its bills and could default on its debt. Analysts say a U.S. default would have a devastating effect on nancial markets. The U.S. would likely lose its triple-A credit rating, causing interest rates to soar. Stocks could plunge. Paul Zemsky, chief investment ofcer of multi-asset strategies at ING Investment Management, said a default could also cause Americans to lose condence in the economy, causing them to put off major purchases such as buying cars and homes.

Post office ponders closing 1 in 10 outlets

WASHINGTON The Postal Service is considering closing more than 1 in 10 of its retail outlets. The financially troubled agency announced Tuesday that it will study 3,653 local ofces, branches and stations for possible closing. But many of those may be replaced by what the service is calling Village Post Ofces in which postal services are offered in local stores, libraries or government ofces. Its no secret that the Postal Service is looking to change the way we do a lot of things, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said at a brieng. We do feel

that we are still relevant to the American public and the economy, but we have to make some tough choices. Currently the post office operates 31,871 retail outlets across the country, down from 38,000 a decade ago, but in

recent years business has declined sharply as rst-class mail moved to the Internet. In addition, the recession resulted in a decline in advertising mail, and the agency lost $8 billion last year. Most of the ofces that face review are in rural areas and have low volumes of business. As many as 3,000 post ofces have only two hours of business a day even though they are open longer, said postal vice president Dean Granholm. Coming under review doesnt necessarily mean an ofce will close. The post ofce announced in January it was reviewing 1,400 offices for possible closing. So far 280 have been closed and 200 have nished the review process and will remain open.

Spring buying gives housing market temporary lift
WASHINGTON Home prices rose for the second straight month in most major U.S. cities and are stabilizing after years of declines. But analysts say the trend in prices hardly signals a rebound for the troubled housing market. A urry of spring buyers is helping boost sales. At the same time, millions of foreclosures are in limbo, awaiting the results of a government investigation into improper practices by mortgage lenders.

WASHINGTON The federal government has put Google, Microsoft, Apple and other technology companies on notice: Give consumers a way prevent advertisers from tracking their movements across the Web or face regulation. Yet for all its innovative know-how and entrepreneurial spirit, the technology industry has yet to agree on a simple, meaningful solution to protect consumer privacy on the Internet. So privacy watchdogs and lawmakers are stepping up the pressure, calling for laws that would require companies to

stop the digital surveillance of consumers who dont want to be tracked. They argue that effective privacy tools are long overdue from an industry that typically moves at breakneck speed. I want ordinary consumers to know what is being done with their personal information, and I want to give them the power to do something about it, Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John D. Rockefeller, D-W. Va., said at a recent hearing. Washingtons call to arms is a response to growing concern that invasive Internet marketing practices are eroding privacy online as every consumer move is observed, analyzed and harvested for prot.

Senators scold airlines for raising fares

WASHINGTON Senators are scolding the airline industry for raising fares during the tax holiday created by the shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration. Democratic Sens. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia chairs the Senate committee that oversees FAAs budget, and Maria Cantwell of Washington chairs the aviation subcommittee. They are asking key industry ofcials to either put their

prots into an account to be used to support federal aviation programs or roll back the fare increases. In a letter sent Tuesday, the senators say that the unauthorized collection of federal ticket taxes could have longterm negative repercussions for the industry. The FAAs operating authority including the authority it gives airlines to collect ticket taxes expired Saturday, forcing a partial shutdown of the agency. Industry ofcials werent immediately available for comment.

Zito replaces Lincecum, Phillies light him up


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Barry Zito

PHILADELPHIA The Philadelphia Phillies entered the season with a heralded pitching staff of four aces. They may have discovered an unlikely fth. Rookie right-hander Vance Worley threw a three-hitter and Chase Utley hit an inside-the-

park homer to lead the Phillies to a 7-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night in a matchup of the NLs top teams. Worley (7-1) had ve strikeouts and one walk, and has allowed two earned runs or less in 11 of his 13 career starts. It was Worleys fth straight win and rst career complete game.

He did a real good job, Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. Hes aggressive and goes right at them. I think Im guring how to pitch now, Worley said. Manuel said Worley deserved to go the distance. I think it does something for the guy, Manuel said. I wanted him to stay in there for him-

self. He earned the right. It might have been expected that Worleys scheduled counterpart, Tim Lincecum, would have been receiving the postgame accolades, but the Giants right-hander was a late scratch due to a stomach illness. Barry Zito (3-3), a late replacement for Lincecum, allowed six runs and six hits in

seven innings while striking out four and walking two. Lincecum was scratched two hours before the game and listed as day-to-day. He could pitch Wednesday against the Phillies, taking Zitos place. Manager Bruce Bochy said after the game that a decision

Trish staying home

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

For a handful of years now, Peninsula residents have grown accustomed to reading about Trish Malaspina and her athletic prowess on the basketball court and softball eld. On Monday, Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont and Malaspina came to an agreement that assures those local headlines will continue for at least another couple of seasons. Head basketball head Mike Rudder and the Argonauts announced that Malaspina, along with four other players, will be joining the Division II program for the 2011-2012 season. Three promising freshmen will suit up for Rudder and, along with Malaspina, comes fellow Bulldog Lauren Ward, formerly of Half Moon Bay High School. Basically, its the variety of players (that is exciting), Rudder said. Its kind of a great balance of talent. Theyre good defensive players, have high basketball IQs and are hard workers thats the exciting part of this group coming in, no question. Malaspina joins the Argonauts after a breakout sophomore season with the Bulldogs where she averaged a double-double for the season with 15 points and 10 rebounds a game. She comes to Notre Dame after also being recruited by Southern Oregon. After considering that offer, the choice was actually pretty simple for Malaspina. Im excited to stay home, Malaspina said. Im used to the Bay Area weather. I went to [University of Nevada at Reno] out of high school, did the whole dorm thing, living on my own and Im over it. I just want to stay local. Plus, I wanted to be in the NCAA and not NAIA. I got along better with the team at Notre Dame than the girls at Southern Oregon. It just felt more comfortable. I like the local talent that Notre Dame has.

Niners get back to work


By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Patrick Willis set three alarm clocks just so he could be at the San Francisco 49ers headquarters exactly when the NFL lockout lifted. He even set the ringer on his cell phone to full blast. Its loud, the linebacker said. It wont allow you to sleep in. The 49ers certainly didnt want to waste a Patrick Willis moment. With a new coaching staff waiting for them inside, a steady stream of players entered the teams facility Tuesday for the rst time in months. New coach Jim Harbaugh had quick meetand-greet sessions with players and quickly sent them into meetings with coaches some had never met before. Others were scheduled to have a physical, and still more began giddily lling up their locker ahead of the start of training camp Thursday. Its like the rst day of school, left tackle Anthony Davis said. Free agent and former starting quarterback Alex Smith, rst-round pick Aldon Smith and second-round pick Colin Kaepernick were among the rst to arrive. There also was a constant ux of undrafted rookies and others hoping for a spot on the training camp roster. One notable absence was running back Frank Gore, a two-time Pro Bowler who went down with a season-ending fractured hip at Arizona on Nov. 29. He has been training in Miami and is expected to arrive when camp opens.

The game will be the fourth for Manchester United on its U.S. tour and Ferguson has not let his squad take its foot off the pedal. The Reds beat New England, 4-1, Seattle, 7-0, and Chicago, 3-1. As far as preparation, that never changes, Ferguson said. You try to improve by the details, one percent, two percent, and we hope we are going the right way.

MLS All Stars face daunting task versus Man U


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HARRISON, N.J. Having played for some of the worlds best teams, Thierry Henry knows the MLS All Stars will face a daunting task against Manchester United in the leagues annual mid-season classic. And thats putting it mildly. The MLS will be elding a team at Red Bull Arena that has practiced together for roughly two hours and will be missing Galaxy forward Landon Donovan (groin) and midelder Bred Shea because of a commitment to represent FC Dallas in a CONCACAF game. Its a collection of some past-their-prime stars and young talent against probably the second-best team in the world in Manchester United, the defending Barclays Premier League champions and the runner-up to FC Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League title game. For soccer fans in the United States, it a show. Its not the MLS trying to prove it is as good as Sir Alex Fergusons squad. The game is Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. Its nice for the fans, said Henry, who had his day in the Premier League with Arsenal. They are going to see some of the best players in the world. We all know we are playing against Man United. Its going to be a difcult

Manchester United, no matter where you play in the world. Its going to be a difcult game, but its going to be a game to enjoy. You dont get many opportunities to play against the likes of Wayne Rooney and Chicharito and so many other players that theyve got. As much as we want to win the game its important that we enjoy it. Houston midelder Brad Davis plans to do just that, but he added everyone wants to win. This is their preseason and they have taken every game seriously, Davis said. They dont stop. Look at the Seattle game, 7-0. They are going to keep going. We dont expect anything less from them, and I feel we have a good team that is going to be out there, a good group of guys, and we can make a pretty good impact. Hans Backe, the Red Bulls coach who has been put in charge of the MLS team, worked with his team for an hour on Tuesday. He would not discuss how his team would play, but he is hoping the MLS performs better than it did in a 5-2 loss to Manchester United in last years All-Star game. I think (the goal) is to pick up a good result, Backe said. If you look at the result last year and the results on the current U.S. ISIPHOTOS tour for Man U. its 3-1, 7-nil. I dont know the other result. I just feel we have to step up Chris Wondolowski will be one of two players and pick up a good result. representing San Jose in the MLS All-Star game.

The free agency free-for-all has begun, mostly with obscure names from the college ranks. It will get wilder. Contract negotiations for free agents and draft picks started Tuesday, with draftees able to sign right away. The big names among veterans Nnamdi Asomugha, Santonio Holmes, Matt Hasselbeck cant sign until Thursday, but their agents are negotiating deals right Nnamdi Asomugha now. Throw in dozens of players who will be cut, such as Dallas receiver Roy Williams and Baltimore tight end Todd Heap, which officially cant happen until Thursday, and its organized chaos, according to Colts general manager Chris Polian. Its a lot of stress, work, preparation. But its what we all look forward to. Its our playoffs and our Super Bowl, agent Peter Schaffer said.

Indeed, several agents said they didnt expect to sleep Tuesday as the NFL reopened for business after 4 1/2 months. In addition to their clients already in the league who are unrestricted or restricted free agents, they will have veterans released. And they are trying to set up youngsters, such as college starters safety Winston Venable of Boise State (Chicago) and quarterback Jerrod Johnson of Texas A&M (Philadelphia), with teams after they were passed over in Aprils draft. I always have a lot of guys in that category, and its been absolutely nuts, said agent Joe Linta, who placed Michigan State tight end Charlie Gantt with the Chiefs and Cal receiver Jeremy Ross with the Patriots on Tuesday. He also elded calls from a dozen teams for Utah defensive tackle Sealver Siliga before he signed with San Francisco. There are times when you are elding four or ve calls at once, added Linta. Multiply, say, 10 guys you are trying to get signed by maybe three to 10 teams interested ... you do the math. The math adds up to hundreds of transactions in a few days, as opposed to a few weeks had there not been a 4 1/2-month labor stoppage.

Pac-12s first media day


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Chip Kelly had several months to prepare for the questions he nally faced at Pac-12 media day. The Oregon coach claimed hes eager to explain every aspect of the Ducks dealings with a Texas-based recruiting service. Kelly told the Pac-12 media he would love to talk, but hes not allowed to clear up a problem thats threatening to tarnish the Ducks run to the national title game last season. Kelly refused to discuss the Ducks relationship with Willie Lyles on Tuesday, moments after Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens conrmed the program is under review by the NCAA and the school. Although Kelly spoke at his usual mile-a-minute pace during his interview session at the Fox studio lot in Century City, his rst public comments about the investigation contained little new information. I would love to talk about it, and when we have a chance after the report comes out, I will

be able to clear up any questions that anyone has about the whole situation, said Kelly, whose Ducks went 12-1 and dominated the Pac-10 last year. The troubles of the conferences marquee program overshadowed the introduction of Utah and Colorado to the recongured Pac-12, which will have two six-team divisions and a conference title game in December at the top teams stadium. Most media members expect that game to be at Autzen Stadium. Oregon was picked to win the title game in the poll announced Tuesday, getting 28 of 42 votes. Even with just 11 returning seniors, the Ducks are favored to win the North Division with 29 rst-place votes. Southern California, which isnt eligible for the title game under NCAA sanctions, is narrowly favored over Arizona State in the South Division. Our goal is to win the South, said Utah coach Kyle Whittingham, whose former BCSbusting Utes were picked third in their division.

Thats been a big factor in the As recent success. Oakland has scored four or more runs in each of its last six games the clubs longest such streak of the season.

Thats what makes it tough that rst inning, getting behind when (Worleys) throwing the ball as well as he is and its just too much to overcome, Bochy said. He has good stuff. He throws quality strikes, pounds the strike zone and more than six weeks while on the disabled list with a stress reaction in his right scapula, rebounded nicely against Tampa Bay. McCarthy (3-5) pitched with runners on base in each of the rst six innings but worked out of trouble each time to win for only the second time in his last 12 starts.

Takeo Spikes no longer a Niner
SAN DIEGO The San Diego Chargers agreed to terms with three veteran free agents, linebacker Takeo Spikes, tackle Jeromey Clary and tight end Randy McMichael, on Tuesday. Spikes deal is for three years, Clarys is for four years and McMichael got a one-year deal. Safety Bob Sanders previously agreed to a one-year contract. The players contracts are expected to be signed on Friday. All four players are veterans and have performed at an extremely high level, coach Norv Turner said. Obviously Jeromey has put a lot of work in with us to get to where he is and were excited to have him back. The continuity of keeping the offensive line together is big. I think defensively you want to be as Takeo Spikes strong as you can be down the middle and with Spikes and then Sanders, youve got two strong personalities that bring a real aggressive presence to the defense. A hard-hitting veteran entering his 14th season, Spikes got a call from general manager A.J. Smith on Tuesday morning, when teams were allowed to negotiate with free agents. He is an outstanding player. Takeo will bring his physical, aggressive style to our defense, Smith said. I love his competitiveness and instincts. I believe he will be an immediate contributor. A two-time Pro Bowl and All-Pro selection, Spikes played inside linebacker for San Francisco the past three years in the 3-4 scheme under Chargers defensive coordinator Greg Manusky. Spikes has also played for the Eagles, Bills and Bengals.

While there, a coaching change left her in a bit of limbo. So, instead of staying in Reno and paying out-of-state tuition to feel uncomfortable, she decided to come back and play basketball at CSM. As it turned out, it was the best move of her young life. I decided to start at a JC and work my way into a four-year school, she said. And the lessons she learned while donning the blue and white proved to be priceless. I learned a lot of post moves, Malaspina said. We had a lot of good

Serena Williams wins at Stanford


STANFORD Serena Williams wants to stay healthy. Her skills and determination will take care of the rest. The former world No. 1 player beat Australias Anastasia Rodionova 6-0, 6-0, Tuesday in the rst round of the Bank of the West Classic. Williams, troubled by a right foot injury the past year, played on American soil for the rst time since reaching the seminal of the 2009 U.S. Open. Its her third event since winning at Wimbledon last year. Personally I have never taken this much time off, said Williams, who missed 49 weeks before returning at Eastbourne. This is totally different from any other time. Williams, ranked 169th, moved smoothly on the court against the overmatched, 105th-ranked Rodionova, who has lost ve straight. It was me being focused, Williams said. Ive always said if I play my best no one can beat me. Hopefully I can get back to that level.

Continued from page 11
The team is allowed to negotiate with rookies and its own free agents already, although Smith cant re-sign with the team as expected until Friday. President and CEO Jed York, general manager Trent Baalke and Harbaugh have all indicated the team will not be big spenders in the free agent market. Instead, they hope to maintain some continuity on the depth chart. It doesnt necessarily mean that you have to spend money on people that are not on your roster currently, York said. I think thats where we are always focused, making sure that we signed our own guys. San Franciscos training camp gures to be a major test of the new regime. The 49ers are among a handful of teams with a new coaching staff, and the summerlong lockout has a potential to do even greater damage with so many unknowns. Only about two dozen offensive players who attended informal workouts led by Smith have any knowledge of the playbook, and that brief study time doesnt compare to the rigors of training camp. Something the 49ers have been eager to begin under the new coach. Harbaugh arrived to great fanfare when the franchise lured him away from Stanford, where Heisman Trophy favorite Andrew Luck is returning from a team that won the Orange Bowl. Harbaugh signed a $25 million, ve-year deal to replace the ousted Mike Singletary. San Francisco hasnt had a winning record or made the playoffs since 2002. We have to make it happen because Im tired of losing, Willis said. I want to experience what its like to win. I guess it has been since my freshman year in college since Ive had a winning season and it sucks, big time. I feel optimistic this season. I cant wait to get it started.

49ers open to stadium with Raiders


SANTA CLARA A shared stadium between the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders has been discussed under the new NFL labor agreement, and executives for both teams said Tuesday they are open to future talks. A stadium for the Bay Area rivals has long struggled to gain traction. The storied franchises have never agreed on the location of a shared site, among other things, and have explored separate plans with little success. Jed York, president and CEO of the 49ers, said the team will listen to ideas for a twoteam stadium while moving forward with plans for a new facility of its own in Santa Clara. Weve discussed it, but theres no plans. Theres nothing in the works, said York, son of team owner John York. And again, its something we remain open to, but its got to be the right deal for two teams. Theres nothing that anybody can force to make that happen. About the only thing the two franchises can agree on is that both need to replace their aging homes. The 49ers have played in San Francisco since the franchise was established more than 60 years ago and have called Candlestick Park home since 1971. The Raiders, aside from the hiatus in Los Angeles, have played at the Oakland Coliseum since 1966. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has urged both to work together on a stadium solution similar to that of the New York Giants and Jets, who share the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. We have an open mind about the possibility of sharing a stadium and we are discussing that possibility with the 49ers, with whom we have a terric working relationship, Raiders CEO Amy Trask said. Raiders owner Al Davis wants a new stadium on the Coliseum site, and the 49ers who couldnt get a plan they wanted to stay in San Francisco have focused efforts on nancing a facility near team headquarters in Santa Clara. In June 2010, voters in the Silicon Valley city signed off on a plan by the 49ers to build the 68,500-seat stadium. Under the agreement with the team, the city and area hotels would contribute $114 million to the $937 million project next to Great America theme park. York said the team is still focused 100 percent on the Santa Clara project. He is hopeful to start construction in 2013 and open the stadium for the 2015 season, although theres still a major shortfall in cash to get the nancing needed.

Raiders excited to be back


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders began trickling back to work Tuesday as the team headquarters reopened to players for the rst time since the end of the 18-week lockout. Offensive linemen Jared Veldheer, Daniel Loper and Alex Parsons, tight end Brandon Myers and safety Jerome Boyd were among the players seen driving into the facility. Im super excited, Veldheer said a few hours later. It feels really good to get back. Cant wait to get back in the swing of things. Players were allowed to work out, meet with coaches, take physicals and get playbooks. But with many of the Raiders players living out of the area and training camp set to start Wednesday in Napa, the bulk of the team was expected to report to the team hotel in wine country for the rst training camp under new

head coach Hue Jackson.. The coaching staff underwent a few changes in the offseason after Jackson replaced Tom Cable. Now the new staff gets the rst chance to work with the players. Veldheer had only talked briey with new offensive line coach Bob Wylie before the lockout was lifted. This is the rst time Ive been able to meet person to person. Talked a little bit about the philosophy that he has, the Xs and Os and where were going to go tomorrow basically, Veldheer said. Im just very optimistic from where we nished last year, as far as No. 2 in the run, and I want to keep building off that, just be the No. 1 rushing team in football and then rm up our pass protection and really build a line that can stick together for a while. Veldheer, who became the starting left tackle as a rookie, put on 15 pounds during the offseason and now weighs 325 pounds. He hopes

that will help him match up with bigger pass rushers. I just felt I was pretty skinny last year, playing out there compared to a lot of guys, he said. I really put a focus on being able to put some good weight on and get myself to the physical standpoint where I need to be to hold up better versus the bull rush, to be rmer on run blocks. I think Ive got this chance with this time to accomplish that. The Raiders also got the chance to begin negotiating with free agents. Oakland did a lot of work on potential free agents before the lockout started in March, signing deals with defensive linemen Richard Seymour and John Henderson, linebacker Kamerion Wimbley, cornerback Stanford Routt, safety Hiram Eugene, backup running back Rock Cartwright, backup quarterback Kyle Boller and Loper.

General news reporters, the British Olympic Association is warning athletes, will be at the games to nd front-page stories that will not be in the athletes interest. These writers have no allegiance to your sport and are sent to an event such as the Olympic Games to get a story, says the BOAs Athletes Guide to Dealing with the Media. These stories by their very nature are usually linked to a scandal and the writer does not care if he/she treads on any toes to nd a lead. The news reporters aim is to nd a front page story.

Salads should be big and bold


or Marcela Valladolid, salads are not starters. They are big and beefy and substantial. Honestly, Im not a big fan of having a salad before a meal. Usually when I have a salad its pretty hearty, balanced and healthy and a full meal, the Food Network star said via email. I love warm salads with bacon and spinach. I love the varieties of the nicoise that show up on so many menus. I love steak salads for their lusciousness and how the meat juices seep into the dressing. Growing up, Valladolid didnt get many chances to eat beyond her Mexican roots. And that made her rst experience with an Asian-inspired salad memorable. I remember the rst time I tried an Oriental chicken salad, probably 20 years ago, and could not believe my mouth. I grew up in Tijuana so we werent much exposed to international cuisine, she said. I was very familiar with Chinese cuisine, but not this light, California-Asian dish. The Oriental dressing, moist chicken, shredded cabbage, thinly sliced and crisp carrots and crunchy wonton strips seemed like the most delicious combo on the planet. Now they serve them everywhere and its still one of my favorites. For the APs 20 Salads of Summer series, Valladolid offered a potato salad studded with grilled corn and poblano peppers. Were not big salad people in Mexico and Im always looking for ways to incorporate the ingredients that I grew up with into recipes that people on this side of the border can identify with. The combination of charred poblanos and corn is a classic one in Mexico and once added to a rich, creamy dressing and soft potatoes it makes for the perfect

The combination of charred poblanos and corn is a classic one in Mexico and once added to a rich,creamy dressing and soft potatoes it makes for the perfect side.
summer side, she said.

GRILLED CORN AND POBLANO POTATO SALAD


Marcela Valladolid suggests serving this salad with grilled ank steak and cold beer or lemonade. If you cant grill outdoors, she says a grill pan works just ne for the corn. The potato salad can be made a day ahead and refrigerated. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Start to nish: 45 minutes Servings: 6 2 pounds medium red-skinned potatoes 3 ears corn, husks removed 2 poblano chilies, charred, peeled, stemmed, seeded and chopped 1 cup chopped scallions (white and pale green parts only) 1/2 cup sour cream 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Salt and ground black pepper Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 30 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes and cool slightly. Meanwhile, heat a grill to mediumhigh. Add the corn and grill, turning to grill all sides, for 10 minutes, or until evenly browned. Halve the potatoes and put them in a large bowl. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the corn kernels off the cobs and add to the bowl. Mix in the poblano chilies, scallions, sour cream, mayonnaise and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.

NEW YORK An apple a day may keep the doctor away. But when you put it in a Happy Meal, it might help keep regulators at bay too. McDonalds on Tuesday said that it would add apple slices and reduce the portion of French fries in its childrens meal boxes beginning this fall, effectively taking away consumers current choice between either having apples with caramel dip or fries as a Happy Meal side. The move by McDonalds, which has become a leader in moving from just burgers and fries to more nutritious fare like oatmeal and salads, comes as fast food chains face intense scrutiny from health ofcials and others who blame the industry for childhood obesity and other health-related problems. Some municipalities, including San Francisco, have even banned fast food restaurants from selling kids meals with toys. Critics wasted no time complaining that McDonalds changes dont go far enough. Kelle Louaillier, executive director of a group called Corporate Accountability International, said McDonalds is just trying to get ahead of impending regulations that will restrict the marketing of junk food to children and require restaurants to post nutrition information on menus, among other changes. McDonalds is taking steps in the right direction, says Louaillier, whose group has pushed for McDonalds to retire Ronald McDonald. But we should be careful in heaping praise on corporations for simply reducing the scope of the problem they continue to create. Cindy Goody, McDonalds senior director of nutrition, said

inform the opinions of thousands. While there are no known statistics on these fanatics or even agreement on who qualies as one, restaurant chains realize that inuencing a few hyper-excited fans with free food and Tshirts can sometimes be more effective and much cheaper than a big advertising campaign. You really cant buy publicity like that, said Chris Arnold, spokesman for Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc., referring affectionately to lunatic customers who do things like dress up as burritos to score free meals at the Colorado-based chain. He adds that the company tries to cultivate loyalty and, in extreme cases, even evangelism. Fast food has indeed become the gospel for many. About 23 percent of Americans eat fast food at least 20 times a month, according to Jeff Davis at Sandelman & Associates, and another 20 percent indulge 12 to 19 times a month. But few restaurants inspire cult-like dedication. Those that do usually offer only one or two main products, or theyre able to most fat and calories is a cheeseburger served with fries and 1 percent chocolate milk. It weighs in at 700 calories and 27 grams of fat. McDonalds agrees with leading food and nutrition experts that making incremental lifestyle modications with food consumption may lead to improvements in an individuals well-being, Goody said, adding that McDonalds didnt eliminate fries from Happy Meals because all foods t when consumed in moderation. Adding a half portion of apples and fries is more likely to change customers eating habits than simply offering apples as an alternative, said Jonathan Marek, a senior vice president at Applied Predictive Technologies. It should also be a good public relations move, he said, and more importantly, could help drive sales. The key is, will this get parents to go to McDonalds one more time each month than they would have otherwise? said Marek, whose company helps restaurants forecast whether new programs will drive sales. He was not involved in the McDonalds program. over the course of the contract which expires in 2016, Vaillancourt said. The county paid 100 percent of the sheriffs sergeants contribution toward retirement but will reduce its contribution to 75 percent under the new agreement. The board unanimously approved three of the four contracts yesterday but Supervisor Dave Pine voted against the contract with the sheriffs sergeants. The new contract calls for sheriffs sergeants to be paid 1 percent more than their create an aura of scarcity. Thats why the ubiquitous McDonalds usually sells its pork sandwich, the McRib, in only a few markets at a time. Last year, when McDonalds briey made the McRib available at all U.S. locations, it said that the obscure availability, as well as the barbecue sauce, led customers to perform extraordinary feats for a taste of the sandwich. McDonalds Corp. said the McRib helped fuel November sales, but declined to give details. Perhaps no one knows that better than Alan Klein, a 29-year-old meteorologist in the Minneapolis area. Hed never go out of his way for a Big Mac, which are hawked at every McDonalds. But he loves the McRib because its hard to get. He even created a website, the McRib Locator, so fellow fans could report sightings. Thats the whole lure of it, said Klein, whose enthusiasm for the pork sandwich started when he was a child, growing up in a hog-raising family. If its around, you never LaMonte Riker, a New York carpenter eating a chicken salad at a McDonalds on Tuesday, doesnt have kids but thinks the Happy Meal changes cant hurt. He also said he doesnt think its fair for people to blame McDonalds for their health problems. Its not McDonalds thats making your kids fat; youre making your kids fat by taking them to McDonalds, said Riker, 44. And I dont think McDonalds is that fattening if you dont eat it on a daily basis. This isnt the rst time the worlds largest burger chain has tried to paint itself as an emissary of nutrition. In the 80s, it created a tness program for middle school children featuring gymnast Mary Lou Retton. A decade ago, McDonalds used Ronald McDonald to encourage parents to get their children immunized and to tell kids to drink milk. In 2003, it added salad entrees to the menu. And around 2004, McDonalds christened Ronald a balanced, active lifestyles ambassador. More recently, McDonalds has worked to counterparts in neighboring counties, an item with which Pine disagreed. He also opposed the 3 percent guaranteed wage increase in 2015 for the sergeants and said the countys contribution of 75 percent for point-of-service health plans was too high. Workers can choose from either a health maintenance organization or a point-of-service plan. The sheriffs sergeants contract was not due to expire until 2013 but the union agreed to open it up now to help the county nd longterm savings.

The chaplain who asked a cow to be his best man


By Christina Rexrode
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Adam Moore once drove 500 miles just to eat a burrito at a Chipotle hed never been to. Alan Klein is working on a smartphone app to help fellow enthusiasts track down the transient McRib sandwich. And Ben Skelton made an unusual choice for best man in his upcoming wedding: the Chick-l-A cow. Ive already told my best man that hes going to be my second-string best man, said Skelton, a 28-year-old chaplains assistant in the Air National Guard. I just havent told him that he got beat out by a cow. Call it fanaticism or simply dedication, but these are the type of ultra-enthusiastic fans that every restaurant craves. Restaurant groupies have always been around, but theyre more valuable at a time when the economy is forcing consumers to choose carefully when they eat out, and a few online posts can

know when its coming back. His website is a labor of love thats hard to police. For accuracys sake, check marks indicate that someone has sent a receipt proving their McRib purchase. But, Klein warns on the website, Please call ahead to conrm the McRib is available before traveling any great length to purchase one. According to the McRib Locator, the sandwich is currently being sold in parts of Canada, but Klein doesnt have a passport. If someones making a trip across the border, wed denitely be interested in them bringing us one, said Klein, whose wife, Kimberly, is also a fan. Some restaurant groupies are willing to go great lengths for the object of their affection. Take Moore, the Chipotle fan. He got the idea to visit all 71 restaurants in Colorado while eating lunch with his sister at, naturally, Chipotle. It took almost three years. By the end, Moore had logged 3,839 miles on his 1987 BMW and spent $528 on burrito bowls. portray itself as a healthy, hip place to eat, offering wireless access in restaurants and introducing smoothies, oatmeal and yogurt parfaits, moves that other fast-food companies are now trying to replicate. Weve been in the nutrition game for over 30 years in providing nutrition information to our customers, said Goody, the McDonalds nutrition director. Now what were doing is were adding more food groups and ... creating nutritional awareness. McDonalds ability to adjust to customers demands has helped bring already-loyal customers through the doors more often, but its also attracting people who hadnt traditionally visited us in the past, said spokeswoman Danya Proud. In 2010, McDonalds accounted for 9 percent of U.S. restaurant sales, according to Technomic. Last year, its U.S. revenue rose 4.4 percent, while U.S. revenue fell at Burger King, Wendys, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Arbys, Sonic and Jack in the Box, Technomic said. Pine did praise the unions members, however, for opening up the contract to renegotiate when they did not have to as did board President Carole Groom. It has been a long and arduous process but the negotiations were productive, Groom said. It has been a difcult time. The revenue is simply not coming in.

that the new directives are absolutely not related to new regulations. Rather, she said, theyre a response to customers asking for healthier choices. But apparently, customers arent making those choices in practice. Indeed, only about 11 percent of customers were ordering apples with their Happy Meals, even though 88 percent were aware they had the option, the restaurant said. McDonalds says the change will reduce calories in its most popular Happy Meals by as much as 20 percent. The new apple slices will not be served with caramel dipping sauce. Currently, the lightest Happy Meal is the four-piece chicken nugget meal served with apples and apple juice. It has 380 calories and 12 grams of fat. The Happy Meal with the

Diet foods that appeal to your inner glutton


Three dips to inspire eating healthy snacks
By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Michele Kayal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Maybe you need another idea for packing ber and vitamins into your childs lunch. Or maybe youre looking for a way to convince yourself to eat more fruit. Either way, making a dip (or three) to dunk your fruit in can make it a little more enticing, and a lot more fun. In constructing a healthful dip for fruit, the main problem lies in the base of the dip. You want something that doesnt pile on the fat or sugar, but still is interesting enough that you want to dunk your apple wedges and strawberries in it. We wanted to create a creamy base that could be easily avored. For obvious reasons, the full-fat versions of cream cheese and sour cream were out. Greek-style yogurt has a great mouth feel and creaminess, but some people nd it overwhelmingly tart. So we opted to use low-fat cream cheese blended with nonfat Greek yogurt. The result is creamy and luscious and is a perfect base for avorings. As a bonus, its also a great way to get calcium.

FRUIT DIPPERS
Start to nish: 25 minutes Servings: 10 (each serving represents 2 tablespoons of each dip for a total of 6 tablespoons) For the base: 2 cups nonfat plain Greek-style yogurt 8 ounces low-fat cream cheese For the chocolate: 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 2 tablespoons honey Pinch cinnamon 2 tablespoons fat-free milk For the citrus: Zest of 1/2 lemon Zest of 1/2 orange 2 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons orange juice For the orchard spice: 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon butter rum extract 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon dry ginger Pinch ground nutmeg Pinch ground cloves 2 tablespoons honey In the bowl of a food processor, combine the yogurt and cream cheese. Process until completely smooth. Divide the mixture into 3 bowls. To make the chocolate dipper, in a small bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, honey, cinnamon and milk until completely smooth. Add to one of the bowls of the yogurt mixture and stir until smooth. To make the citrus dipper, stir both zests, the honey and orange juice into one of the remaining bowls of yogurt mixture. To make the orchard spice dipper, stir the vanilla, butter rum extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and honey into the last bowl of yogurt and cream cheese. Serve the dips with cut up wedges of apples, pears, peaches and berries.

Whens the last time you were guiltily scraping your way to the bottom of an ice cream carton and noticed this message: 150 calories per pint? Yes, per pint. Foods aimed at helping you slim down have been around for decades, but a recent wave of ultra-low calorie products such as the 150-calorie per pint dessert Artic Zero is making a direct appeal to our national sense of gluttony. What were seeing here is a strategy that says Americans like to stuff their faces, says food industry analyst Phil Lempert. And these mean we dont have to sacrice. With two-thirds of American adults overweight or obese, health officials have long warned that ballooning portion sizes are a major factor. Now food manufacturers are testing whether the desire for big servings can make peace with our need to shed pounds or at least make big prots. Its ne to eat one serving of ice cream, but I cant remember the last time I sat down with a pint and ate half a cup, says Amit Pandhi, CEO of Arctic Zero, Inc., whose pints of ice cream replacement prominently feature the 150-calorie message. We feel like a serving is an entire pint. And if youre looking at it from that point of view, our product is the only one where you can eat a whole pint and not feel like youre doing something terrible, says Pandhi. Similarly, commercials for MGD 64, a 64-calorie beer from Chicago-based MillerCoors being heavily marketed this year, pits a tiny martini or petite glass of wine against a cool, full bottle of brew. Meanwhile, the website for its competitor, Anheuser-Buschs Bud Select 55, promises no pain and no gain, boasting that you can burn off the products 55 calories with ready? a 54-minute nap. And though Tofu Shirataki noodles from California-based House Foods America Corporation, offer two 20-calorie servings per 8-ounce package, its understood that youll eat the whole bag. Most people eat the whole bag for a meal, says Yoko Difrancia, the companys marketing supervisor. The whole bag is more realistic. Which means that if you were feeling a need to binge, you could pound down a pile of noodles, a couple brews and a

pint of ice cream all for 300 calories the same as one McDonalds cheeseburger. Consumers seem to be buying it. Sales of Arctic Zero, introduced in 2009, have grown 15 to 20 percent per month for the past 18 months, Pandhi says. Many of these products are achieving their low-calorie status with different ingredients than similar products in the past. Arctic Zero is made primarily of whey protein and gets its sweetness from organic monk fruit, an Asian gourd the company says is 150 times sweeter than sugar. Tofu Shirataki noodles are made by blending tofu and the root of konnyaku, an Asian yam. Health advocates, dietitians and government programs decry the American propensity to over indulge. But what if we were meant to eat as much as possible? UCLA neuroscientist Dean Buonomano says in his new book, Brain Bugs: How the Brains Flaws Shape Our Lives, that the human brain was designed to guide us through a world in which dying from starvation was a greater possibility than becoming obese. There is little doubt that our proclivity toward overeating is in part a product of the fact that we were programmed to derive pleasure from eating, and that in the modern world many of us have essentially unlimited amounts of food at our disposal, Buonomano said via email. In 2000, Penn State professor Barbara Rolls began promoting what she calls volumetrics, an approach to healthy eating that shifts the focus from reducing portion size to reducing the number of calories per portion. When people sit down to a meal and dont know the calorie count they tend to take a set amount by weight and volume, says Rolls, whose new book The Ultimate Volumetrics Diet will be published next year. So she says the solution is not to reduce the volume of food on the plate, but rather the number of calories in the same volume (called the calorie density). She urges people to do that by adding plenty of water-rich, calorie-light foods, such as fruits and vegetables. The idea is not that you can or should eat a much bigger volume than you typically do, Rolls says. Its that if you eat your usual amount youre going to feel full but with fewer calories. Some experts say theres a place for these ultra-low calorie products in that kind of equation. Lisa Lillien, creator of the daily e-mail service HungryGirl.com and author of ve cookbooks, relies on many specic products, including Tofu Shirataki noodles, to create satisfying, abundant, but still calorically light meals.

regulations. Such fees are also are cropping up in middle school programs. Thats why Huntington Bank is highlighting pay-toplay fees in its annual Backpack Index, a yearly look at the costs of going back to school. We just want to bring attention to the fact that these fees are increasingly required, and theyre not going to go away, said Brent Wilder, a spokesman for the Columbus, Ohio-based bank that operates in six Midwestern states. By surveying national chain retail store prices for a list of supplies and fees typically required for the various grade levels, including a backpack to carry it all in, Huntington determined that parents of elementary school students can expect to pay an average $530 this year. Thats up from $474 last year, an increase of almost 12 percent. For middle school students, costs will rise to an average $682, from $545 in 2010 up 25 percent. Expenses for high school students, which include college-prep materials for taking tests like the SAT, jumped to an average $1,094 from $1,003, a 9 percent increase. As a parent, your child comes home the rst day with the actual list of sup-

Tips to get started


Many school districts make their lists of required supplies available before classes start, so check the school website or contact administrators in advance of the rst day to nd out whats required. If money is tight,its worthwhile to ask a few extra questions about what is needed when classes start, and what can wait until later in the school year. Scour the house for pencils, scissors, crayons and other supplies left over from last year.For young kids, this can be a game akin to a scavenger hunt, with the reward for the winner being a few extra dollars to spend toward a special item. Avoid branded items and supplies linked to popular culture.Expect stores to be stocked with Harry Potterthemed supplies, for instance, which are likely to carry a bigger price
plies, which hasnt changed much over the years, said Huntington Bank spokeswoman Maureen Brown. Then they come home the next day and they want to play a sport. Then they want to play an instrument. You dont think of all these things, she added. That means these fees cant be overlooked when families write up a back-toschool budget. Brown said this year had the largest home to horticulture and oristry. Plans also call for getting rid of portions of a small native garden. The horticulture program, housed in Building 20, has been on hiatus for two years, due to budget cuts, and the oristry program serves 4.3 full-time equivalent students, according to the district. The remaining classroom is unneeded and most of the building systems are beyond their service life, according to the district. Plans call for the demolition of 13,500 square feet of the 50,000-square-foot garden. In addition, the district will transplant species critical to science classes or purchase new specimens. The district is working with the faculty to nd space within the science building for plants currently in the garden that are used in classes, said Barbara Christensen, director of community and government relations. Those suing to keep the building, although they preferred not to be named, expressed concerns about the program being canceled as it could impact the sonal check for up to 31 days and prohibits the face amount of the check from exceeding $300. Typically, a borrower only gets $255 of that money and must pay a fee of $45 to the lender, usually by the borrowers next payday. Currently, proposed legislation in the Assembly calls for lifting the limit from $300 to $500 for the short-term loans. The board, however, previously came out in opposition of Assembly Bill 1158, authored by Assemblyman Charles Calderon, D-Montebello. The board approved Gibsons resolution on a 5-0 vote but not before hearing from Fernando Pea, with California Financial Service Providers, which represents payday lenders. Pea expressed disappointment the board formally opposed AB 1158 and About 500 stores had children shopping Tuesday as part of the program. Volunteers and children were given a list as a guide but ultimately able to work on their own to meet the childs needs. Perez needed a uniform, including boots, and a number of school supplies. Thankfully for the little girl who is about to enter second grade, Target had a variety of school items emblazoned with the face of teen heartthrob Justin Bieber. Perez chose notebooks, folders and a

tag. Discuss this ahead of time and agree on whether the family can afford those extras. Take your kids,especially young kids, shopping with you and get them involved in picking out items and hunting down bargains. Use cash at the checkout, or use the opportunity to explain how debit or credit cards work. Determine what the fees for various activities will be, and when they need to be paid. If your school doesnt cap fees by family,or your children want to try multiple sports, it might help to encourage them to earn some money before summer is over to help pay the fees. If fees are not affordable,contact your school or district and explain the hardship. Most schools will reduce or waive fees for students unable to pay.
increase in back-to-school costs since the Huntington began its index six years ago, largely because of the increase in fees. Preparing to head back to the classroom and the playing eld can be used as a way to teach kids about planning and making choices. Its an opportunity for parents to sit down with their children, examine the list of items that are needed, and talk about what is affordable. pending litigation. Over the past ve years, ve associates degrees and 47 certicates of participation were awarded from the horticulture programs, Claire wrote. Department staff, according to the report, requested the program be put on hiatus while transfer options are explored and/or the budget situation improves. All the programs being considered for discontinuation were vetted through staff and faculty before the recommendations were made. A number of programs were discontinued or put on hiatus last year including: French, German, machine tool technology, welding, cooperative education, education and manufacturing and industrial technology. The board meets 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 27 at the District Ofce, 3401 CSM Drive, San Mateo.

Borrowers who seek the short-term loans face a compounded annual percentage rate of 459 percent, according to Gibsons report. Payday loans hurt the most vulnerable and they need to have alternative resources, Gibson said yesterday. Payday loans are made by storefront lenders, check cashers and pawnshops and are often disproportionately concentrated in predominately AfricanAmerican and Latino neighborhoods, according to the report. Existing state law authorizes a lender to defer the deposit of a customers per-

said their were a lot of misconceptions about the industry he represents. He did say, however, his group would look forward to working with the county as it crafts a resource guide for the public of what alternatives exist to payday lenders. People do need access to short-term loans, Gibson said, but there must be alternatives to payday loans. The county could consider emulating bans already in place. Pacica has a twoyear interim moratorium on the lenders and Daly City is considering banning any new outlets, phasing out the existing ones and partnering with credit unions as an alternative to payday lenders.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF JOHN FRANK OLCESE Case Number PRO121291 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: John Frank Olcese. A Petition for Probate has been filed by: John David Olcese in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition of Probate requests that Jeanne Monsour & John David Olcese be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedents will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection of the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: August 17, 2011 at 9:00 a.m., Dept: 28, Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo, 400 County Center, Redwood City, CA 94063. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: Christie L. Fraser, SBN 061167
