BILL DEVOTES MISSING $20M TO STATE PARKS

State lawmakers are set to vote on a pension
reform measure today endorsed by Gov. Jerry
Brown that labor groups call horrible and
conservatives say doesnt go far enough.
If Assembly Bill 340 is approved, new for-
mulas will be put in place that will require
public employees to work later in life and
receive less benets. The
plan will only impact new
employees and could save
the state nearly $60 billion
over a 30-year period.
Local state lawmakers
express overwhelming
support for the measure
but said the work to rein in
pension costs will not be
nished with todays vote.
It is a signicant piece of work, state Sen.
Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, told the Daily
Journal yesterday. Advocates on both sides
will either diminish its signicance or over-
state its impact.
The current 2.5 percent at 55 formula would
give a public employee who earns $100,000 a
year and worked for 30 years about $75,000
annually in retirement benets, Simitian said.
The new formula, Simitian said, would cut
the benet almost in half to about $39,000.
That is a 48 percent impact. It is signi-
cant. Do the math, Simitian said.
Simitian said his constituents want public
employees to feel secure in retirement but
have expressed disdain with abuse.

By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
An elderly Hillsborough couple thought
they were giving their grandson money
Tuesday to get out of jail but instead learned
they were the victims of an international
scam.
Al and Sandy Schlesinger got a call from
who they thought was their grandson from
Southern California Tuesday who told them
he was in a bad accident and subsequently
jailed and needed about $2,000 to make bail.
Two men actually spoke with the couple,
one claiming to be a public defender and the
other pretending to be their grandson.

By David Espo and Robert Furlow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. Mitt Romney launched his
fall campaign for the White House Thursday
night with a rousing, remarkably personal
speech to the Republican National convention
and a prime-time TV audience, proclaiming
that America needs jobs, lots of jobs and
promising to create 12 million of them in per-
ilous economic times.
Now is the time to restore the promise of
America, Romney said to a nation struggling
with 8.3 percent unemployment and the slow-
est economic recovery in decades.
Often viewed as a distant politician,
Romney made a press-the-esh entrance into
the hall, walking slowly down one of the con-
vention aisles and shaking hands with dozens
of delegates. The hall erupted in cheers when
he reached the stage and waved to his cheer-

New life for decades-old
Wisconsin cheddar blocks
MILWAUKEE A recently discov-
ered block of eastern Wisconsin cheddar
cheese that dates back to the Nixon pres-
idency will be sold for $10 per ounce.
Edward Zahn, 73, was in Zs Cheese
Shoppes walk-in cooler last month,
preparing to shut down his Oconto store.
He pushed aside stacks of cheese to
reveal several wooden boxes that had
been overlooked for years.
Inside were blocks of unintentionally
aged cheddar 28, 34 and 40 years old
that, some experts say, might com-
prise the oldest collection of cheese ever
assembled and sold to the public.
It just got overlooked, Zahn told the
Wisconsin State Journal of the 40-year-
old cheese. It looks just like the others
except its just a lot sharper. Its got char-
acter.
Ken McNulty, who owns the
Wisconsin Cheese Mart in Milwaukee,
bought about 20 pounds of the 40-year-
old cheddar and 120 pounds of 34-year
cheddar. He declined to reveal the price
he paid.
Cheese is often sold by the pound, but
McNulty plans to sell the oldest cheese
by the ounce so more people can get a
taste.
Because theres so little, we didnt
want to sell blocks of it on the Web, he
told the Associated Press. We just want-
ed people to sample it.
He said an ounce would be just enough
for two people to nibble on. He suggests
sampling the vintage cheese by itself, not
with a cracker or other food that would
compete with the avor.
He said he found out about the cheese
when Zahns son called, told him his
father was closing up shop and offered to
sell some inventory. McNulty, long a fan
of Zahns cheesemaking expertise, said
he wanted everything.
McNulty sampled the 40-year-old and
28-year-old blocks, pleasantly surprised
that the milk in the cheese hadnt soured.
He still hasnt tried the 34-year-old
cheese, and acknowledges that he cant
assume it will be edible. He plans to cut
it open on Oct. 6 as part of a cheese-tast-
ing event at his store.
Wisconsin, the nations leading cheese
producer, last made headlines for aged
cheese in 2010 when Tony Hook, the co-
owner of Hooks Cheese Co. in Mineral
Point, sold 1,600 pounds of 15-year-old
cheese for $50 per pound. Cheese con-
noisseurs described that cheddar as
mature, rich, smooth and decadent.
Cat videos get their
moment at film festival
MINNEAPOLIS Warning: This is a
story about online cat videos. If youre
among the seemingly tiny minority of the
general population not interested in watch-
ing a 1-minute clip of a cat in a T-shirt
pounding on a keyboard, then move along.
For everyone else, a new measure of
respectability is looming for an Internet
pleasure that is both massively popular
and, for some people, a bit embarrassing.
The Walker Art Center, a well-regarded
museum of modern art in Minneapolis,
on Thursday is presenting its first
Internet Cat Video Film Festival to
showcase the best in filmed feline
hijinks.
With about 70 videos over 60 minutes,
the Walker is mounting a social experi-
ment as much as a lm festival. At issue
is whether cat video lovers used to gorg-
ing on the clips in the privacy of their
homes will do so in public an online
community of fellow acionados inter-
acting face to face for the rst time.
It is a cultural phenomenon that rais-
es some interesting questions, said
Katie Hill, the Walker program associate
who rst suggested the festival.
But Hill, a self-described art historian
and cat lady, was quick to add: Im not
a behavioral psychologist, Im not a soci-
ologist. I just think theyre funny and
cute, and I think a lot of other people do
too.
The numbers bear it out. Some of the
classics of the form have racked up tens
of millions of YouTube page views. The
aforementioned Keyboard Cat posted
26.3 million page views since it was
posted in 2007. A 30-second clip titled
Very Angry Cat can you guess the
plot? has 78.5 million page views
since 2006.

The struggle to dene and obtain the ideal-
ized American dream is a timeless theme in
literature, art and theater. Immigration, civil
rights, racial tensions, love and loss are trials
the characters of Ragtime the musical face
in the two-act award-winning play.
Based on a book by E.L Doctorow, and
playwright Terrence McNally, the Tony-win-
ning musical is set to open tonight at the
Hillbarn Theatre in Foster City.
The play revolves around three families
struggling to prosper in turn-of-the-century
New York. Coalhouse Walker Jr. represents
the African-American population in Harlem,
Mother represents New Rochelles white
upper class and Tateh represents part of the
Eastern European immigrants arriving
through Ellis Island. The ctional characters
of Ragtime exist alongside historical nota-
bles such as Booker T. Washington, Harry
Houdini and Henry Ford.
The shows notoriety and acclaim led Lee
Foster, 55, to take on the direction of
Hillbarns production of Ragtime. Having
acted as Hillbarns executive producing direc-
tor since 1997, Foster will be making her
debut as director in nishing her masters of
fine art from Notre Dame de Namur
University, she said.
Foster read Doctorows 1975 novel when it
came out and said its a show she adores and
always wanted to do. The themes of the 1996
musical are relevant commentaries on our
present political upheaval, she said.
You can either change and grow, or it
defeats you. I love that idea. And that there is
an American dream that we all have; and that
dream remains unsullied, Foster said.
Coalhouses Make them hear you is a
beautiful song about the power of the pen
and the power of words to change lives,
Foster said. Theater makes our lives more full.
It can inspire, educate and motivate, she said.
In casting, Foster said she reached out to

The former Rite Aid worker accused
of altering a court order so she could
serve an embezzlement sentence in San
Franciscos work program instead of San
Mateo County pleaded not guilty yester-
day to charges of forgery and creating a
false record.
After entering her plea, Kamaldeep
Atwal, 28, also set a Dec. 10 jury trial
exactly a year after sentencing on the
original crime.
Atwal waived a preliminary hearing in
mid-August on the charges, opting
instead to head directly to trial. She is
also alleged to have violated her proba-
tion with the alleged new crime.
In December, the San Jose woman was
sentenced to 60 days
jail for embezzle-
ment and grand theft
that previous
September. A judge
denied her request to
serve the time in San
Francisco but gave
her until June 16 to
surrender to the
womens jail in San
Mateo County.
Prosecutors say Atwal instead forged the
court order so it allowed the county
transfer and took the document to the
San Francisco Jail where she was admit-
ted into its alternate sentencing program.
The forgery was handwritten as
though a court clerk had made the
amendment, according to District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Atwals probation ofcer and county
jail workers caught the alleged fraud
when she failed to surrender.
In the earlier case, Atwal reportedly
used the Western Union machine at the
Rite Aid store to wire $27,912 over a
two-week period to herself and friends.
If convicted, Atwal is looking at four
years and four months in prison. Even if a
judge imposes a jail term, Wagstaffe said
her alleged conduct regarding the earlier
order could be a consideration in whether
she is again offered an alternative sen-
tence like the sheriffs work program.
Atwal remains free from custody on a
$10,000 bond. She returns to court Oct.
30 for a pretrial conference.
Two more Yosemite
visitors have mouse-borne virus
FRESNO Two more Yosemite
National Park visitors have been found
with a mouse-borne virus blamed for
the deaths of two people, bringing the
total number of infections to six, state
health officials said Thursday.
Anita Gore, a spokeswoman for
California Department of Public
Health, said the discoveries were made
through the agencys investigation into
cases of hantavirus pulmonary syn-
drome at the famed park.
The infections spurred park officials
to close 91 tent cabins at Curry Village
in Yosemite Valley, where five of the
six infections occurred.
Gore said one of the infected people
may have been in another area of the
park.
Our investigation is trying to deter-
mine which area of the park that person
visited, Gore said.
Over the past three weeks, two peo-
ple have died of hantavirus pulmonary
syndrome after staying in cabins at
Curry Village in Yosemite Valley.

Construction controller to
trial for embezzlement
The Redwood City construction company controller who
literally ed the ofce when confronted about $350,000 in
missing funds is headed straight to trial
after waiving a preliminary hearing on the
evidence.
Lili Clay, 50, opted against the hearing
at a review conference and will enter a
Superior Court plea Sept. 13 to charges of
felony embezzlement and grand theft and
the allegation of excessive taking. She may
also set a jury trial date at that time.
Clay, of Mountain View, worked for
Lencioni Construction and between
January 2011 and August 2012 and prosecutors say she wrote
herself $350,000 in company checks under the guise of reim-
bursements.
When the owners discovered the discrepancies, they con-
fronted her in the Redwood City ofce on Aug. 8. After she
ran from the site, they reportedly gave chase but were unable
to grab her before she reached her vehicle. Weeks later
authorities apprehended her in Exeter, Calif., which is near
Visalia.
She remains in custody in lieu of $350,000 bail.

SACRAMENTO California would use
$20 million found hidden in a state
Department of Parks and Recreation special
fund to keep all parks open under a bill
approved Thursday by the state Senate.
AB1478 also imposes a two-year moratori-
um on any parks closures. Senators passed
the bill, 25-12, in response to a scandal in the
parks department and sent it back to the
Assembly for a nal vote.
Auditors found nearly $54 million hidden
in two special funds, even as 70 parks were
threatened with closure in July because of
budget cuts. Most parks ultimately stayed
open with the help of local governments and
community organizations that contributed
before the money was discovered.
The bill creates a dollar-for-dollar match-
ing fund to encourage communities to contin-
ue helping local parks.
We will then in effect be rewarding good
behavior by local partners, said budget com-
mittee chairman Sen. Mark Leno, D-San
Francisco, who carried the bill in the Senate.
We want to get the word out that we want
you to continue to support your local park.
The $20 million comes from an account
funded by parks and recreation fees. Leno
said the Legislature next year plans to also
spend the remaining money, which was found
in an off-highway vehicle fund. He said law-
makers need to wait to act on that fund until
auditors and the attorney general complete
their investigations of the parks department.
The delay in distributing the off-road
money drew complaints from Republicans.
Sen. Anthony Cannella, R-Ceres, support-
ed the bill but said the $20 million should be
refunded to cities and counties that raised
money to keep their local parks open, rather
than used to match their contributions.
The bill is not specic on how the $20 mil-
lion will be spent, other than to match $20
million in local funds to help pay for park
operations. The bill separately includes $10
million in bond money to pay for capital
improvements at the parks, things like replac-
ing and repairing restrooms and fee kiosks.
The bill also expands and strengthens a
state parks commission that will oversee the
troubled parks department.
Weve all been chagrined and horried
by the parks scandal, said Sen. Noreen Evans,
D-Santa Rosa. She said strengthening the
commission is going to provide the
absolutely necessary citizens oversight that
we need.
The bill is one of several seeking to
improve accounting not only in the parks
department but of more than 500 special
funds scattered throughout the state budget.
Bill devotes $20M in hidden funds to state parks
The convicted sex offender whose attorney
in a new statutory rape case caused a mistrial
by declaring mid-trial he had a conict was
appointed a different lawyer and will set a new
trial date next month.
Prosecutors said there was no question they
would continue pursuing the case against
Joshua Kenneth Bringazi, 27, after his former
attorney Tom Deremegio announced three
days into trial he had an irreconcilable conict
and could no longer represent his client. The
only thing the mistrial did was delay a resolu-
tion and create more hardship for the alleged
victim, prosecutors said.
Bringazi, who was previously convicted for
repeatedly having sex with an inebriated
teenager, is charged with having intercourse
with the drunk 15-year-old sister of his room-
mates girlfriend. He is charged with a lewd
act against a child more than 10 years younger
and unlawful sexual intercourse.
The court appointed Michael DeVoy to rep-
resent Bringazi now and ordered him back to
court Sept. 11 to set a new trial date.
Prosecutors say
Bringazi, then 25, had sex
with the Oregon teen on
Aug. 24, 2010 when she
came with her half-sister
to visit family. Bringazi
was a roommate of the sis-
ters boyfriend and the
girls reportedly stayed
with them. On the night in
question, Bringazi pres-
sured the girl to have a
beer during a drinking game before having sex
with her in his room, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
The next day, the girl allegedly refused fur-
ther advances and Bringazi kicked her and the
sister out of the apartment. The roommate
contacted authorities.
At the time, Bringazi was on parole for mul-
tiple Santa Clara County convictions of using
a minor to produce obscene material and pen-
etration of a minor using a foreign object.
Bringazi remains in custody in lieu of
$100,000 bail.

PG&E president and CEO Tony Earley said
Thursday that civil settlements and potential
nes stemming from a fatal gas pipeline explo-
sion in San Bruno two years ago could cost the
company more than $1 billion.
Earley who became CEO of PG&E in
2011 said at a news conference that the
Sept. 9, 2010 pipeline explosion in San
Brunos Crestmoor Canyon neighborhood was
a catalyst for the utility to reevaluate its opera-
tions from top to bottom.
The explosion and subsequent re killed
eight people, injured dozens and destroyed a
neighborhood.
Earley said that PG&E has successfully set-
tled with seven of the eight victims families,
and that additional settlements with victims
who were injured in the disaster could be
expected by the end of the year.
I feel good that we are starting to give those
families a sense of closure, Earley said.
PG&E has set aside between $400 million
and $500 million to pay to victims of the San
Bruno explosion, and around $200 million to
settle possible nes and related penalties that
could be levied by the California Public
Utilities Commission, Early said.
PG&E has already agreed to pay the city of
San Bruno $70 million to help rebuild and heal
the community, and invested millions to
replace the streets and infrastructure that were
destroyed.
The total amount paid by PG&E to the vic-
tims, their families and the city could exceed
$1 billion, Earley said.
We know its going to take years and years
in terms of the recovery process, he said.
Although Earley did not comment on the
details of any individual cases, he did say that
a leak earlier this week of a condential court
document outlining the terms of a $1.8 million
settlement with a teenager who was burned in
the explosion was likely the fault of the San
Mateo County court.
That was a mistake somewhere there, he
said. It was actually one of the smaller cases.
The leaked information would not likely
impact the outcome of cases that have yet to be
settled, he said.
Since the San Bruno explosion, PG&E has
conducted high-pressure tests on more than
200 miles of gas transmission lines throughout
its service area, and is on track to test more
than 700 miles by the end of 2014, Early said.
The utility hopes to improve its infrastruc-
ture, safety record, corporate culture and cus-
tomer service in the coming years, he said.
I think weve made a lot of progress in the
last year, he said. We know that we still have
a huge amount of work ahead of us.

Legislation by Assemblyman
Jerry which would close a loop-
hole that holds limousine operators
but not charter party buses responsi-
ble for underage drinking in their
vehicles cleared the Assembly on
a 65-0 vote Thursday and was sent to
the governors desk. Hill, D-San Mateo, named AB 45 in the
memory of 19-year-old Brett Studebakers of Burlingame
who was killed on Feb. 6, 2010, when he crashed his car into
a sound wall on Highway 101 near San Mateo after hours of
drinking on a party bus to celebrate a friends birthday.
Legislation aiming to curb illegal storage and hauling of
waste tires passed the Assembly in a concurrence vote yes-
terday afternoon and now heads to the governors desk.
Authored by Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D Menlo Park,
Assembly Bill 1647 makes statutory changes to streamline
the enforcement processes for violators of the California
Tire Recycling Act.
The state Senate passed a bill Thursday by state Sen.
Simitian that would make it easier for surplus, unopened
medication to be donated to uninsured Californians. Senate
Bill 1329, passed out on a 38-0 vote, is now headed to Gov.
Browns desk.
A bill to improve breast cancer detection in women with
dense breast tissue passed unanimously out of the state
Senate and is now headed to Gov. Browns desk. Senate Bill
1538, authored by state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto,
would require that following a mammogram, women with
dense breast tissue be informed that:
They have dense breast tissue;
Dense breast tissue can make it harder to evaluate the
results of a mammogram;
It is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer;
Information about breast density is given to patients to
discuss with their doctor; and
A range of screening options are available.
Similar legislation has already passed in New York,
Connecticut, Texas and Virginia. Congress and more than 15
states have had related legislation pending.
The vote was 36-0. The governor has until Sept. 30 to act
on the measure.

Obituary
Bill forces farmers to
protect workers from heat
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown
will consider a bill that would impose
fines and jail time on agricultural
employers who do not provide enough
shade and water to their workers.
The bill, which passed the Assembly
42-28 Thursday, would strengthen exist-
ing regulations requiring growers to pro-
tect their workers from extreme heat.
Currently, these rules are enforced with
civil penalties. AB2676 would make vio-
lations misdemeanors.
Democratic Assemblyman Charles
Calderon of Whittier said he wrote the
bill after he discovered existing law pro-
vides greater heat protections for live-
stock than farmworkers.
Several Republicans from rural dis-
tricts spoke against the bill, which they
said would harm Californias agricultur-
al economy by adding unnecessary
restrictions.
Earlier in the week, lawmakers sent a
related bill to the governor that would
allow individual farmworkers to sue
employers for heat violations.
Flu shot bill lacks
penalty for health workers
SACRAMENTO Health care
workers who dont get a u shot would-
nt have to wear a mask under an amend-
ed bill that state lawmakers sent to the
governor on Thursday.
The initial bill was designed to
encourage health care workers to get
inuenza vaccines so they dont infect
patients. But the California Nurses
Association opposed a provision requir-
ing unvaccinated medical employees to
wear surgical masks while seeing
patients during u season.
The Senate passed the amended
SB1318 after the provision was stripped
away by the Assembly earlier this week.
It is not clear how the bill would be
enforced without the mask requirement.
The decision sparked nger-pointing
between hospitals and the politically
powerful nurses union.
The California Hospital Association
blamed the union for blocking the mask
provision. Hospitals opposed the nal
bill mainly because the mask provision
was removed. The union is lobbying for
u vaccine incentives to be collectively
bargained.
We think wearing masks is the right
thing to do for the patients, hospital
association spokeswoman Jan Emerson-
Shea said after the vote. How do hospi-
tals enforce this otherwise? ... We think
the nurses union is putting public health
at risk by making that an issue for col-
lective bargaining.
Union spokesman Chuck Idelson said
the association is neutral on the overall
bill and supports its requirement that 90
percent of health care workers be vacci-
nated by 2015.
Bill grants union-style
rules for domestic workers
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry
Brown will consider a bill that would
give nannies, housekeepers and other
domestic workers an array of rights.
The bill passed the Assembly 42-27
Thursday after a partisan debate over
unintended consequences.
Among other things, AB889 would
give domestic workers the right to over-
time, meal breaks, and, in the case of
live-in workers, compensation for inter-
rupted sleep.
Republicans questioned the bills fea-
sibility and the potential for average
families to face legal liabilities. Its
author, Assemblyman Tom Ammiano,
said regulatory details would be worked
out later by the state Department of
Industrial Relations.
The San Francisco Democrat has said
the rules recognize the dignity of domes-
tic workers. The bill has attracted nation-
wide attention and an endorsement from
comedian Amy Poehler.
Only New York has similar rules for
domestic workers.
Bill targets discrimination
against unemployed
SACRAMENTO Lawmakers have
sent Gov. Jerry Brown a bill that would
end what supporters say is an increas-
ingly prevalent form of discrimination
against unemployed job seekers.
The state Assembly on Thursday
approved legislation that would prohibit
employers from saying in job postings
that they will consider only applicants
who are already employed.
Labor groups say the long-term unem-
ployed are nding that companies only
want to hire those who already have a
job. Democratic Assemblyman Mike
Allen said he wrote AB1450 to protect
vulnerable job seekers from that catch-
22.
The California Chamber of Commerce
initially placed the bill on its job killer
list but removed it after the bill was
amended to allow employers to inquire
into employment status.
The bill passed the Assembly 45-23.

Federal court rejects
new Texas voter photo ID law
WASHINGTON A federal court on
Thursday rejected a Texas law that would
require voters to present photo IDs to election
ofcials before being allowed to cast ballots in
November.
A three-judge panel in Washington unani-
mously ruled that the law imposes strict,
unforgiving burdens on the poor and noted
that racial minorities in Texas are more likely
to live in poverty.
The decision involves an increasingly con-
tentious political issue: a push, largely by
Republican-controlled legislatures and gover-
nors ofces, to impose strict identication
requirements on voters. Texas voter ID rules,
approved in 2011, had been widely cheered by
conservatives statewide.
Republicans around the country are aggres-
sively seeking similar requirements in the
name of stamping out voter fraud. Democrats,
with support from a number of studies, say
fraud at the polls is largely non-existent and
that Republicans are simply trying to disen-
franchise minorities, poor people and college
students all groups that tend to back
Democrats.
Wildfire ash in river
could befoul Colorado beer
FORT COLLINS, Colo. A Colorado
brewery said Thursday that its monitoring the
water it gets from the city of Fort Collins to
make sure residue from a deadly wildre that
blackened a northern Colorado river doesnt
befoul the taste of its beer.
New Belgium Brewing, the maker of Fat
Tire beer, says so far there havent been any
problems. Brewery chemists, however, will be
keeping watch after identifying six com-
pounds in Poudre River water that could cause
problems.
The river runs through an area where a June
wildre killed one person, destroyed more
than 250 homes and scorched 136 square
miles.

NEW ORLEANS Isaac hovered over
Louisiana for a third day Thursday, shedding
more than a foot of additional rain that forced
authorities to hurriedly evacuate areas ahead of
the storm and rescue hundreds of people who
could not escape as the rapidly rising waters
swallowed entire neighborhoods.
The huge spiral weather system weakened to
a tropical depression as it crawled inland, but it
caught many places off guard by following a
meandering, unpredictable path. The storms
excruciatingly slow movement meant that
Isaac practically parked over low-lying towns
and threw off great sheets of water for hours.
I was blindsided. Nobody expected this,
said Richard Musatchia, who ed his water-
lled home in LaPlace, northwest of New
Orleans.
Inside the fortied levees that protected New
Orleans, bursts of sunshine streamed through
the thick clouds, and life began to return to
normal. But beyond the city, people got their
rst good look at Isaacs damage: Hundreds of
homes were underwater. Half the state was
without power. Thousands were staying at
shelters.
And the damage may not be done. Even
more rain was expected in Louisiana before
the storm nally drifts into Arkansas and
Missouri.
Isaac dumped as much as 16 inches in some
areas, and about 500 people had to be rescued
by boat or high-water vehicles. At least two
deaths were reported.
Five feet of water poured into Musatchias
home before a neighbor passed by with a boat
and evacuated him and his 6-year-old boxer,
Renny.
Weakening Isaac hovering
over water-logged Louisiana
By Jim Suhr
ST. LOUIS Indiana farmer John Kolb
normally would welcome storms that could
provide his crops with badly needed water in
this summer of drought. Instead, he and other
Corn Belt farmers are nervously watching the
forecast as Hurricane Isaacs remnants slog
their way, concerned they could end up get-
ting too much of a good thing.
The reason for their worry: Strong winds
could topple corn stalks already severely
weakened by the nations worst drought in
two generations, and a possible deluge could
muddy the elds and slow bringing in what-
ever crop is still salvageable.
We could really use the moisture, but I
dont want wind, Kolb, 41, said from the
2,000 acres of corn and soybeans he farms
with his dad and uncle in southeastern
Indianas Franklin County and the adjacent
Butler County in Ohio. The corn is just so
weak. Its been so dry that it kind of canni-
balized itself. It fed off itself to try to stay
alive and it wouldnt take a whole lot to blow
it down.
That would make it a tangled mess, and
thats pretty hard to harvest.
Isaac has lost strength since coming ashore
late Tuesday as a Category 1 hurricane, with
80 mph winds near the mouth of the
Mississippi River.

Woman robbed outside
market on El Camino Real
A woman was robbed outside a grocery
store in South San Francisco on Wednesday
evening, police said.
The victim was walking to her car outside a
market in the 100 block of El Camino Real at
about 6:10 p.m. when she was approached by
man wearing a blue bandanna over his face,
according to South San Francisco police.
The suspect demanded money and put his
right hand inside his pocket, simulating a
weapon, police said.
The victim believed the man was armed and
gave him an undisclosed amount of cash,
police said.
She was not injured.
The suspect, who appeared to be in his late
teens to early 20s, was last seen walking
toward Huntington Avenue.
He was wearing a black hoodie and black
jeans.
Anyone with information about the robbery
is asked to contact South San Francisco police
at (650) 877-8900.

Only a partial
fix for states
pension mess
The Los Angeles Times
G
ov. Jerry Brown unveiled
the outlines of a public
employee pension reform
bill Tuesday thats a step back in
some notable ways from the 12-
point plan he laid out last October.
The measure, which top Democrats
will try to rush through the
Legislature this week, would do
nothing about rapidly rising retiree
health care costs, and it abandons
Browns proposal to restructure
retirement pay for new employees.
Yet it would still make badly need-
ed changes to shore up pension
funds, help cities struggling with
outsize costs and curb abuses in the
system. Its not the whole solution,
but it would provide many of the
right parts.
Public employee pension costs
are projected to climb to alarming
levels, driven in part by larger
workforces, higher salaries, more
generous benet formulas and
underperforming investments.
Although some local retirement
systems remain in good shape, oth-
ers are grossly underfunded, forc-
ing local ofcials to devote an ever-
larger percentage of their budgets
to meeting their obligations.
Meanwhile, federal law and the
state Constitution prevent state and
local governments from reneging
on the benets promised to current
employees.
Browns original proposal called
for new workers to receive a
hybrid retirement benet that
combined a much smaller pension
with a 401(k) plan and Social
Security benets. But he gave up
that plan, which would have shifted
some of the nancial risk from the
state onto its workers, in the face of
high short-term costs.
Instead, Brown is seeking to roll
back the increase in maximum pen-
sion benets that the Legislature
enacted more than a decade ago,
much to its regret. He also propos-
es new mechanisms that local gov-
ernments can use to require work-
ers to cover more of the cost of
their retirement pay and the short-
fall in their pension funds. Other
provisions would cap the size of
pensions for highly paid workers,
raise the retirement age for new
employees and bar retroactive pen-
sion increases.
The governor is making several
leaps of faith with this package.
Hes counting on the Legislature to
address retiree health costs next
year, and not to undo this years
reforms by a simple majority vote
if and when the economy booms
again. Current workers may sue to
block provisions requiring them to
contribute more to their pensions.
And although his proposal would
enable local governments to seek
changes in benets that strengthen
pension funds, its still up to of-
cials to persuade local unions to go
along.
Nevertheless, Brown and state
lawmakers cant afford to reject a
partial solution in the quixotic
search for a comprehensive one.
Although the details were sparse
Tuesday, Browns proposal
appeared to be an important step in
the right direction.
Letters to the editor
I
t is an absolute right for peo-
ple to attend public meetings
and speak their minds about
certain proposals they support or
they believe will be a detriment to
our society.
However, there is a decidedly
sideways tone coming from the
County Center these days when it
comes to the planning and con-
struction of a new jail. Schools,
not jails! was on a sign at a recent
presentation to the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors about
design options for a proposed new
jail. The frustration of those in
attendance at the incarceration of
some and the need for programs to
prevent crime in the rst place is
understandable. However, the
Board of Supervisors are not in
control of planning the construction
of schools, school districts are. And
the need for a new jail has been
clear for nearly a decade.
The need for a new jail was
clearly outlined as early as 2004.
An independent needs assessment
conducted in 2008 indicated that
the current Maguire Correctional
Facility for male inmates exceeded
its capacity by 52 percent to 69
percent. That is exacerbated by the
simple fact that cells hold more
people than what they are designed
for and multi-purpose rooms and
dayrooms had to be converted to
housing. The womens jail was
designed for 84 inmates but the
population has risen to as high as
173. There is very little room for
programs. And anyone who has
visited the facility can see there is a
clear need for a better place for the
women there and their families,
sometimes with small children,
who visit.
Add to the mix the state realign-
ment in which state prisoners are
transferred to county facilities and
the need for improvement is clear.
This is not a new problem conjured
by ofcials seeking a new facility.
And the path to the point in which
we now stand has been clearly
dened with ample opportunity for
public input and ideas. The current
proposal provides a safe facility
with an opportunity for new pro-
gram areas in which the incarcerat-
ed can get the assistance they need
to re-enter society in a productive
manner.
Sentencing guidelines and the
judicial system itself determines
who must remain in the county jail
either before trial or after. The
lengthy time it takes for a case to
run its course is symptomatic of the
number of cases derived by the
number of crimes that are commit-
ted. Changes to incarceration,
whether it be at-home electronic
monitoring or assignment to a
treatment program are determined
by the judicial system, judges who
are elected by the populace. There
is some exibility in at-home elec-
tronic monitoring created through
realignment, however, that requires
the cooperation of judges and even
such monitoring is not the panacea
since there is additional risk for
those under such monitoring of not
making court appearances or sur-
rendering to the jail for sentencing.
The program is certainly worth
exploration but, even if enacted, it
will not preclude the need for a
new jail.
No system is perfect. And the
conversation about the new jail can
present some new ideas about how
we, as a county, treat our inmates
and keep the general population
safe from those who commit
crimes. If the board were to not
build a new jail, it would not mean
freedom for those who have com-
mitted crimes. It would mean they
would remain in a place that is
crowded, sometimes dangerous,
and without opportunities for criti-
cal programs.
The cost of the new 576-bed jail,
estimated to be $155 million for
construction followed by $25 mil-
lion or $27 million in annual oper-
ating costs, is weighty particu-
larly when the county is facing an
ever-shrinking pot of money with
which to work for its wide breadth
of public services it provides.
However, all public facilities face a
time in which they no longer serve
the community as well as they can.
And with the aging facility, there is
also an increasing risk for lawsuits
by inmates over the crowded and
inhumane conditions. And such
legal action would be both time-
consuming and costly.
In a perfect world, there would
be less crime and less need to
incarcerate those who commit
those crimes. But we do not live in
a perfect world and crime is an
ongoing social problem that has yet
to be solved. We do not wish to
diminish the valid concerns of
those opposed to the new jail.
However, it is not indicative of
progress to stand in the way of new
facility to house our countys
inmates in a more comfortable, safe
and humane way while seeking
opportunities for programs that will
assist them re-enter our society.
San Mateo County
Jail: An outside perspective
Editor,
I am struck by a simple fact: 70
percent of all Californians held in
county jail on any given day are
awaiting trial, not convicted. It
costs about $100 per day to keep a
person awaiting trial in jail, com-
pared with about $2.50 per day to
put the same person on electronic
monitoring, according to Public
Safety: California at a Crossroads
by Allen Hopper. The United States
incarcerates a much higher percent-
age of its population than any other
country on earth, and major
American thinkers and lawmakers
throughout the country are
reassessing our sentencing and
incarceration policies. Lets consid-
er this issue carefully now before
we commit to a $100 million San
Mateo County jail which may not
be needed by the time it is nished
if national and state policy has
shifted.

Redwood City
Sheriff and DA response
Editor,
San Mateo County Sheriff Greg
Munks and District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe quickly responded to my
guest perspective Our justice sys-
tem needs change in the Aug. 16
edition of the Daily Journal. Their
response, Emptying the jail is not
answer in the Aug. 20 edition of the
Daily Journal, is symptomatic. A
plea for them to look at their world
differently is soundly rejected. They
defend the status quo. Their rmly
held beliefs prevent them from con-
sidering and learning from the many
good examples that surround them.
I have the advantage of looking
closely at a great many local justice
systems through out our nation.
Sadly, they simply do not see the
possibilities.
They both are nice people. They
work hard. They are well-inten-
tioned. But they are products of a
home-grown, insular, local legal cul-
ture, always looking inward. The
attitude perpetuates an overly expen-
sive, ineffective system with many
inefciencies.

Jail overcrowding
Editor,
San Mateo County does not have
a problem with jail overcrowding,
we have a problem with our Sheriff
Greg Munks failing to do whats
necessary to comply with occupancy
numbers. Munks also fails to use
proven methods that would safely
reduce those numbers. We have a
very small number of people who
want this new job-bloating creation,
unfortunately for the taxpayers. Five
of them our your supervisors and
sheriff and of course, district attor-
ney, that makes seven people. The
San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury

Real pension reform is needed
Editor,
Gov. Jerry Brown is proposing
11th hour pension reform for state
workers. He introduced a 12-point
plan last October. He is now trying
to pass these pension reforms before
the legislators go on a recess today.
Why has it taken Brown 10 months
to get his reforms to the legislators?
His hybrid plan which called for
new employees to get part of their
retirement benets through a
401(k)-style plan was trashed.
Assembly Minority Leader Connie
Conway, R-Visalia, said, Lets be
clear The Democratic proposal
is no substitute for serious reforms
to get our public employee pension
crisis under control. The San Jose
Mercury News reports that employ-
ee pension and retiree health costs
remain a small chunk about 6
percent of the states general
fund spending, and those costs
have more than doubled in the past
decade. Real pension reform is
needed. Minor pension reform
helps, but it doesnt stop impend-
ing disaster and bankruptcy, local-
ly and statewide.

Twitter unveils new
targeting tool for advertisers
SAN FRANCISCO Twitter is offering a new way for
advertisers to deliver their marketing pitches to the people
who are most likely to buy their products and services.
The targeting tool introduced Thursday allows ads to be
sorted into different categories of interest. Once an ad has
been tagged under a specic topic, such as dogs or ani-
mation, it could crop up among the tweets of users whose
activity has indicated an interest in those topics.
Twitter also is allowing the ads known as promoted
tweets to be tied to specic accounts that may have fol-
lowers likely to have an interest in the subject of a market-
ing message.
The effort to sell more ads is part of Twitters ongoing
bid to capitalize on the popularity of its short-messaging
service.
After it was founded in San Francisco in 2006, Twitter
initially focused on making its free service as useful as
possible to lure more people into sharing their thoughts
and moments of their lives in blurbs limited to 140 charac-
ters. Having established itself as one of the worlds most
important communications tools, Twitter has spent the past
two years courting advertisers to prove it can also be a suc-
cessful business.
LinkedIn plans to expand to Sunnyvale
SUNNYVALE Professional networking website
LinkedIn plans to expand its California operation to a new
campus in Sunnyvale.
The Mountain View-based company said in a regulatory
ling on Wednesday that it has reached a deal to lease
580,000 square feet of space in the city.
It plans to build a new campus there that could accom-
modate 2,900 workers. The campus is expected to open in
July 2014.
LinkedIn spokeswoman Erin OHarra said the company
anticipates keeping its headquarters in Mountain View. It is
also expanding its space there.

NEW YORK The late-summer lull
is about to end.
Stocks fell Thursday, with investors
too worried about high gas prices and
stagnant employment to be impressed by
higher consumer spending.
But trading volume was light, the mar-
kets direction was steady, and there
wasnt much in the way of major eco-
nomic news.
That could all change Friday. Federal
Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is
scheduled to speak at 10 a.m. EDT, and
investors will be listening closely for his
opinion on the economy and whether the
Fed will take more action to try to prop
it up.
Scott Freeze, president of Street One
Financial in Huntingdon Valley, Pa., had
the feeling that he was experiencing the
calm before the storm. He went golng
Thursday morning with clients, guring
there wouldnt be many more chances to
leave the ofce.
Many of his employees and clients
planned to come to work Friday morn-
ing, stick around to see what Bernanke
says, and then leave early for the long
weekend if its nothing of consequence.
Theres so little going on, its all wait
and see before Bernankes speech,
Freeze said. Im sure next week will be
a much different scenario.
Some thought Bernankes speech, for
all the hype, would end up being a non-
event. The statements from Fed ofcials
are sometimes too ambiguous to really
guide the market. And theres a lot of
doubt that the Fed can do anything for
the economy anyway.
Some people hang on every word,
they try to gure out what kind of brief-
case hes carrying, said John Lekas,
senior portfolio manager at Leader
Capital in Portland, Ore. I think thats a
waste of time. It doesnt matter that
much.
For much of August, with many
traders on vacation and a dearth of major
economic news, the market has lum-
bered more than galloped. On Thursday,
about 2.4 billion shares were traded on
the New York Stock Exchange. The aver-
age for the year so far is about 3.7 bil-
lion.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed down 106.77 points to 13,000.71.
The Standard & Poors 500 fell 11.01 to
1,399.48. The Nasdaq composite slid
32.48 to 3,048.71.

Big movers

NEW YORK This summer,
Americans were walking contradictions:
They opened their wallets despite esca-
lating fears about the slow economic
recovery and surging gas prices.
A group of 18 retailers ranging from
discounter Target to department-store
chain Macys reported August sales on
Thursday that rose 6 percent the
industrys best performance since March
according to trade group
International Council of Shopping
Centers. At the same time, the govern-
ment released numbers showing that
Americans spent in July at the fastest
clip in ve months.
The news appears to show that what
Americans say and do are two different
things: The reports come two days after
a private research rm said consumer
condence in August fell to its lowest
level since November 2011 as
Americans grew more concerned about
the job market, business conditions and
the overall economy.
This is bit of a head scratcher, said
Mark Vitner, a Wells Fargo Securities
senior economist. This runs counter to
most of the other data related to the con-
sumer.
But Roxane Battle Morrison, 50, said
theres a logical explanation for the par-
adox. The Plymouth, Minn., resident
said she is more worried about the econ-
omy, but she spent in August for one rea-
son: she needed to help her 18-year-old
son Jared get ready for college. So,
Morrison, who produces videos for a
nondenominational church, has stashed
money away every month over the past
year to save nearly $1,300 to buy him
books, sheets, a futon bed, and other
dorm room accessories.
I was counting every nickel, looking
at every price tag, she said.
That consumers like Morrison are
spending is an encouraging sign, but that
they are doing so hesitantly is something
retailers and economists will be watch-
ing closely. Consumer spending
accounts for 70 percent of economic
activity. And while only a small group of
merchants representing roughly 13 per-
cent of the $2.4 trillion U.S. retail indus-
try report monthly revenue gures, the
August numbers still offer a glimpse at
how Americans are spending.
The revenue gains in August, which
only factor in stores that were open at
least a year, are better than the 4- to 5-per-
cent increase Wall Street predicted at the
beginning of the month. And it was the
industrys best performance since March,
when stores collectively posted a gain of
6.8 percent. Except for a lull in June,
stores have seen a healthy pace of 4 per-
cent to nearly 7 percent growth since the
beginning of the year. But analysts worry
that the healthy spending wont last.
Retailers report summer sales growth
By Daniel Wagner
WASHINGTON The number of
Americans seeking unemployment ben-
ets was unchanged last week at a sea-
sonally adjusted 374,000, suggesting
slow improvement in the job market.
The Labor Department said Thursday
that the four-week moving average, a
less volatile measure, increased to
370,250.
Applications for unemployment benets
reect the pace of layoffs. They have risen
slightly over the past three weeks, though
they remain lower than in spring, when
hiring nearly stalled. Last weeks number
was revised upward to 374,000 from the
372,000 that was reported initially.
Still, when applications fall consis-
tently below 375,000, it generally indi-
cates that hiring is strong enough to
lower the unemployment rate.
The latest applications data suggest
that the governments employment
report for August, to be released next
week, will show job gains near the
recent monthly average of 100,000, said
Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist with
Capital Economics. That isnt enough to
drive down unemployment signicantly.
Given some of the indicators seen so
far, the August payroll report is not
going to look terribly inspirational, said
Jennifer Lee, senior economist with
BMO Capital Markets, in a note to
clients.
Employers added 163,000 jobs in July.
The hiring gains were an improvement
from the previous three months, when
the economy created an average of only
73,000 a month. But they werent
enough to lower the unemployment rate,
which rose to 8.3 percent from 8.2 per-
cent in June.

NEW YORK Amazon.com Inc.
says it has sold out of its Kindle Fire
tablet computer amid expectations of a
new model for the holiday season.
The Internet retailer has a major press
conference scheduled for next Thursday
in Santa Monica, Calif. Its widely
expected to reveal a new model of the
Fire there, so Thursdays announcement
that the rst model is sold out suggests
that Amazon halted production a while
ago to retool for a new model.
Amazon launched the $199 tablet last
November. It was the rst Kindle with a
color screen and the ability to run third-
party applications, placing it in competi-
tion with Apple Inc.s iPad, at half the
price of the cheapest iPad.
Amazon doesnt say how many Fires
it has sold, but says it captured 22 per-
cent of U.S. tablet sales over nine
months. That would make it the second-
most popular tablet, after the iPad. Tom
Mainelli at research rm IDC said that
gure matches his estimate of 6.7 mil-
lion Fires sold, all in the U.S.
The Fire, which is about half the size
of the iPad, could face a tougher chal-
lenge this holiday season. Many analysts
expect Apple to introduce a smaller,
cheaper iPad to take on the threat of the
Kindle Fire and reach buyers who cant
afford a full-sized iPad. In addition,
Google just launched its own Kindle-
sized tablet, the Nexus 7, and is selling it
for $199.

If youre the Serra High School football team, you are
no stranger to high expectations.
The bar is up there. It always is. And if youre a Padre,
thats never going to change.
But the interesting and most intriguing thing about the
2012 Padres is the uncharted territory the reigning Central
Coast Section Division I champions are set to enter start-
ing tonight against Wilcox. For a program that prides itself
on preparation, their biggest opponent this season is per-
haps the immediate ghost of a 2011 team that made histo-
ry for the school an opponent theyll never face on the
eld. In a sense, head coach Patrick Walsh and his staff are
starting from scratch.
For me being an undersized guy, young coach back in
the day, that Rocky Balboa mentality has always worked
really, really well the underdog, Walsh said. Theyre
easy motivational tactics. And when you are really the
underdog, that gives you an extra boost. Nobody believes
in us. Theyre doubting us and that sort of thing has been
easy to use for me because its been true in my own life.
Now, thats gone. We dont have that anymore now that
were off a season this team would want
to be just like or even better. Thats a
crutch for them. And its going to take a
great degree of maturity, humility and
focus to overcome the success of 2011
and also the expectations that come
from building a tradition.
Its true. Step one for this years
Padres is creeping away from the long
and historic shadow of the schools sec-
ond CCS title-winning squad. And if it
feels like were knit-picking at possible
aws for this seasons team its because,
on paper, this years team has no glar-
ing holes starting from scratch
shouldnt be this easy.
This is a unique team, with unique
personalities that need to be fostered,
Walsh said. This is 2012. Were the 2012
Padres. Well hopefully lay new, more impor-
tant things upon an already existing tradition.
Its a quieter team. Last years team we had several,

The College of San Mateo football team faces arguably its
toughest schedule ever for the 2012 campaign.
Good thing for the Bulldogs and Bulldog Nation, CSM
appears to have the talent in place to put together one of its
best seasons ever.
CSM, ranked No. 8 in the state by the J.C. Athletic
Bureau, opens at 1 p.m. Saturday at home against Laney, the
only team on the schedule not ranked in the preseason top
25. After the Eagles, however, the Bulldogs run the gauntlet.
All nine of the Bulldogsremaining games are against teams
ranked in the top 30 in the state. The rest of the non-confer-
ence schedule features Chabot (No. 12), Diablo Valley (No.
16), Modesto (No. 13) and San Joaquin Delta (No. 15).
Then, they go from the frying pan into the re with the
start of NorCal Conference play, arguably the toughest jun-
ior college conference in the nation: No. 28 Foothill, No. 1
City College of San Francisco, No. 4 Butte, No. 19 De Anza
and No. 25 Santa Rosa.
Its a good schedule. A lot of good teams, said Tim
Tulloch, CSMs defensive coordinator and assistant head
coach. Were ready to cut it loose. Its great because all
these guys made a commitment once (the 2011) season
ended to work toward a championship. Theyve walked the
walk. Weve had a great offseason, great spring, great sum-
mer.
Helping the Bulldogs cause this season are a number of
high-caliber sophomores, along with a group of freshmen
in name only. Given the success of the CSM program over
the last several years, many of those players designated as
freshmen are actually in their second year in the program
after grayshirting their rst year at the hilltop campus.
Leading the charge is the Bulldogs two-headed threat at
quarterback sophomore John Willis and Blake Plattsmier.
Given the way the Bulldogs coaching staff operates
every starting position is open every week leading up to
Saturdays game neither guy is named the starter for the
entire season. Both saw signicant playing time last season
in helping guide CSM to an 8-3 mark and a win in the
Bulldog Bowl. Expect both to see their fair share of snaps
again this year.
Theyve battled it out (during training camp), Tulloch

ALLEN, Texas Call it the palace
of high school football: A gleaming
$60 million facility with seats for
18,000 roaring fans, a 38-foot-wide
high-denition video screen, corporate
sponsors and a towering upper deck.
Welcome to the new home of Eagles
Football.
As school districts across the coun-
try struggle to retain teachers, replace
outdated textbooks and keep class
sizes from ballooning, the wealthy,
burgeoning Dallas suburb of Allen is
preparing to christen its new stadium
with a sold-out Friday night matchup
against defending state champions
Southlake Carroll.
Its not the biggest high school stadi-
um in football-mad Texas, but Eagle
Stadium is the grandest, with a spa-
cious weight room for the players and
practice areas for Allen High Schools
wrestling and golf teams. The school
district decided to build it in a down
economy, knowing full well it will
never recoup the costs.
Its a decision that local ofcials and
team supporters defend, saying the sta-
dium will serve as a community cen-
terpiece and source of pride for years
to come and will more than pay the
costs of operating it.
There will be kids that come
through here that will be able to play
on a eld that only a few people will
ever get the chance to play in, said
Wes Bishop, the father of a junior line-
backer on the team and head of the
local booster club.
For longtime Allen fans, its a giant
step forward from a facility that district
spokesman Tim Carroll called inade-
quate in almost every way.
The old building opened in 1976,
when Allen had fewer than 8,000 resi-
dents, with 7,000 permanent seats, one
concession stand and one set of bath-
rooms. As the town grew to its current
population of 87,000, the school had to
add portable toilets and rent temporary
bleachers, which added 7,000 seats at
a cost of $250,000 a year, Carroll said.
Today, the high school has 4,000
students enrolled and a 700-member
band thats among the biggest in the
country. Collin County, which
includes Allen and other Dallas sub-
urbs, is one of the wealthiest areas of
Texas and home to some of the
states top football teams.
About 63 percent of voters support-
ed a $119 million bond package in
2009. Construction on the stadium
began a year later. District ofcials
went with more expensive concrete
seating over all-aluminum benches,
adding perhaps $4 million more to the
cost, according to ofcials. But they
said they expected this stadium to last
decades.
Our intention is not to recoup the
money it cost to build the stadium,
Carroll said. Its not practical to say
well get that money back. (But) the
revenue we receive from the stadium
will far exceed the cost of operating it.
While the district did not have esti-
mates, Carroll said he expects the sta-
dium to be competitive in hosting high
school playoff games and other events.
The school has also sold six sponsor-
ships for about $35,000 a year, he said.
The new stadium revives an old
argument in Texas about whether com-
munities and their schools have their
priorities straight.
In 1982, when the West Texas city of
Odessa built a 19,000-seat stadium for
a then-unheard-of $5.6 million, it drew
scorn from some people who ques-
tioned the districts priorities. Odessa
would be featured a few years later in
the book Friday Night Lights, a
national best-seller that inspired a
movie and a TV series.
Ross Perot, the billionaire business-
man and former presidential candi-
date, repeatedly took aim at his home
states football culture as he pushed the
state to shed extracurricular activities
and increase accountability measures.
Do we want our kids to win on
Friday night on the football eld or do
we want them to win all through their
lives? Perot said in a 1988
Washington Post column. Thats
what we have to start asking our-
selves.
Today, neighboring Plano High
Schools stadium seats more than
14,000 people. Mesquite, about 30
miles away from Allen, has a 20,000-
seat stadium. And the Berry Center, a
suburban Houston facility with a stadi-
um, an arena and theater, opened in
2006 and cost about $84 million.
Texas school to open $60M football field
Its not practical to say well get that money
back. (But) the revenue we receive from the
stadium will far exceed the cost of operating it.

SANTA CLARA The sting of a
Super Bowl near miss stuck with line-
backer Parys Haralson for months.
He thought about it as he worked
out in the offseason and prepared for
a new year that brings even greater
pressures. And Haralson is hardly the
only one on the San Francisco 49ers
still bothered by just how close they
came to reaching the NFLs showcase
event in Jim Harbaughs rst season
as coach: three points, in overtime, a
loss on their own eld to the eventual
champion New York Giants.
I think we feel like we came up
short last year, Haralson said.
The 2012 team is built not only to
return to the postseason this time but
reach the Super Bowl. General man-
ager Trent
Baalke brought
back all 11
defensive starters
for one of the
leagues best
units of last year
almost
unheard of in this
age of free
agency. Baalke
brought in Randy Moss after a year
out of football along with former
Giant Mario Manningham to upgrade
a receiving corps that failed to come
through in the NFC title game, and
added another Super Bowl champion
in Brandon Jacobs to boost the depth
at running back behind three-time Pro
Bowler Frank Gore.
These Niners are chasing the cham-
pionship this year with everything
theyve got, a new stadium being con-
structed all around them to serve as
motivation of bigger things still to
come.
The way it works here, we have
higher expectations and have our own
expectations, quarterback Alex
Smith said. I dont think we pay
much attention, I really dont, to what
else is going on. To what people, what
theyre guessing, what they think
were going to nish. We all know
what they thought we were going to
nish last year and how right they
were about that. So, its no different
this year. Its all about what we expect
and we have to go out there and we
have to do it.
The 49ers re-signed Smith, the
2005 No. 1 overall draft pick who is
coming off the best showing in his
seven NFL seasons, for three more
years in March.
The 28-year-old Smith threw for
3,150 yards and 17 touchdowns with
only ve interceptions as San
Francisco went 13-3 to win its rst
division title since 2002.
Harbaugh can already tell Smith is
clicking with Moss and
Manningham.
Five times Smith rallied his team
from behind, including four of those
away from Candlestick Park to help
the Niners go 6-2 on the road. His 14-
yard touchdown pass to Vernon Davis
with 9 seconds remaining in the NFC
division playoffs lifted the 49ers to a
36-32 victory against Drew Brees and
the Saints.
In late May, Harbaugh addressed
what he called an erroneous percep-
tion that we were irting with Peyton
Manning even though the coach and
others ew to North Carolina to work
out the 11-time Pro Bowl quarter-
back.
Manning wound up in Denver,
while Smith wound up with a new
deal worth up to $33 million.
The 49ers pulled off a remarkable
resurgence last year without even
having an offseason together because
of the lockout. San Francisco snapped
an eight-year drought without a win-
ning season or playoff berth.
We feel, obviously, much further
along than we were last year, left
tackle Joe Staley said. Last year we
were really just diving into the play-
book and trying to wrap our head
around the concepts.
Yet, even Harbaugh himself wont
say they can top the 2011 win total
with a daunting schedule that begins
Sept. 9 on the road at Green Bay.
49ers prepare to take one more step: to Super Bowl

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
To say that a junior college soccer team is
young isnt uncommon. Truthfully, its some-
thing you can say every year.
But the Skyline womens soccer team takes
youth to a different level in 2012. Its a week
away from their rst game of the new season
and the Lady Trojans nd themselves with a
roster of 18 players, with 13 freshmen.
Its going to be a big group of young play-
ers, said Skyline head coach Kevin Corsiglia,
which presents its share of challenges.
Its denitely not the rst time weve had a
lot of young players, he said. At this level,
its part of the deal. Its actually, I think, for
me as a coach, its fun because I get to do a lot
of coaching. I get to test myself, test my abil-
ity to get a bunch of players on the same page
and get them playing the style and the system
that I want.
The Corsiglia system is proven, and it pro-
duced yet another playoff team in 2011. At 12-
6-4, including a 8-3-4 mark in the Coast
Conference North Division, the Lady Trojans
nished third and earned a No. 15 seed in the
California Community College soccer play-
offs. They bowed out to conference champion
and Final Four participant City College of San
Francisco.
And so, if the Lady Trojans intend on mak-
ing yet another trip to the postseason, their
young players have to learn the junior college
game on the y.
You rely on the sophomores that you do
have, Corsiglia said. You rely on them to
create a culture and pass on what they know
about the league and about how we do things.
You rely on those players a lot. And then you
just take the time to get in there and coach up
the freshman. You want them to play, you
teach them the system. Its good because you
can see the ones that get it and when they get
it ... theyre in. And thats what you want from
a new group of players. You want to get them
in as soon as possible. Its a challenge. But as
a coach, its the kind of challenge youre look-
ing for. Were denitely doing that this year.
The good news for Skyline is their lack of
experience wont be up front. Katlyn Jacques
and her 23 goals returns. She was the Coast
Conferences second-leading scorer last year.
In Katie, youre bringing back a player that
has the experience of playing at this level and
being successful at this level so, were going
to rely on her offensively, Corsiglia said.
Jacques is joined by Jazmin Cazares, who
battled injuries last season before coming on
strong the last ve games of the year and turn-
ing the Lady Trojans from a borderline playoff
team to the No. 15 seed, according to
Corsiglia.
Helping with the experience aspect is for-
mer Burlingame High School goalkeeper
Leila Torres, who transferred from City
College and will play in the mideld for
Skyline. She scored ve goals in limited
action last season. Defensively, Daphne
Manilla returns and will probably shift from a
perimeter defender to a more central role this
year.
But as mentioned, the key to success for
Skyline in 2012 revolves around how quickly
the new faces can acclimate to the speed of the
JC game.
Your trainings have to be fast, Corsiglia
said. You have to constantly challenge them
to play at a faster speed. And after that, you
hope thats where the sophomores step in and
start demanding more from the freshmen.
Key to the new class is goalkeeper Stacie
Garcia, last seasons Peninsula Athletic
League Ocean Division Goalkeeper of the
Year from South San Francisco High School.
Its going to be good to have a player like
her. It gives us a bit of stability back there,
Corsiglia said. Its always something a coach
gets happy about.
Corsiglia said hes seen promise in players
like former Half Moon Bay Cougar Brooke
Penner, who is a college style player already
from a physical standpoint.
Randee Kotlar, a Terra Nova graduate, falls
into that category.
Also huge will be the contributions from a
pair of Southern California freshmen in Elise
Hernandez and Kailey Rappaport, who bring
technical skill to the Lady Trojans.
Inexperienced or not, Skyline wont get any
sympathy points from the Coast Conference.
The last couple of years, our neighbors to
the north have built a program that is formida-
ble, not only in our conference, but in the
state, Corsiglia said about City College. And
so, theyre the measuring stick right now. But
I think thats always a good thing to have.
The returning players know how important
it is to win every game and how important the
games are going to be against City College. I
think the freshmen are going to be able to pick
up on that and rise to the same level.
Other teams to look out for include Ohlone
College and Las Positas.
It was a good division last year, I think its
going to be a good division this year and we
know what were in for, Corsiglia said. And
were getting ready for it the best we can with
the players that we have.
Skyline womens soccer has lots of youth
CLEVELAND Jarrod Parker pitched into
the sixth inning and Oakland hit four home runs,
leading the Athletics to their sixth straight win, a
12-7 victory over the free-falling Cleveland
Indians on Thursday and a sweep of the four-game
series.
Oakland, which has won eight of nine, main-
tained its one-game lead over Baltimore for the top
spot in the AL wild card race. George Kottaras
three-run double broke a 1-1 tie in the fourth while
Coco Crisp, Cliff Pennington, Josh Reddick and
Josh Donaldson homered.
While the Athletics are ying high, the Indians
continue to fade. Cleveland has lost ve straight,
14 of 15 and is 5-27 since July 27.
Questions about manager Manny Actas job
security increase with every loss. Owner Paul
Dolan said before the current homestand began
last week that he had no immediate plans to re
the second-year manager, but the Indians have
gone 1-6 since and show no signs their slide is
going to end any time soon.
Parker (9-7) gave up a leadoff home run to Jason
Kipnis to start the game, but his teammates teed
off on Cleveland starter Justin Masterson. The
right-hander (10-12) has stopped losing streaks of
11 and nine games this month, but on Thursday he
allowed eight runs, including three homers, in four
innings. Masterson was pulled after the rst three
batters in the fth reached base.
Kottaras and Reddick drove in three runs apiece.
Reddick had three hits while Crisp, Pennington
and Yoenis Cespedes had two apiece.

said. You look at their quarterback rating. Its not
that one has separated from the other, its just both
their ratings are up 25 points each. Just the com-
petition has made them so much better.
In head coach Bret Pollacks spread em and
shred em offense, the quarterback is truly the
trigger man and its his ability to read defense that
will determine run or pass and who will get the
ball.
Our quarterbacks are doing a great job with
decision making, Tulloch said. Last year, we
were just real inconsistent with decision making.
Coach Pollack has done such a great job with
those guys (during the offseason), those guys are
making great decisions (now).
Despite the notion that a spread offense likes to
throw the ball 30 to 50 times, the Bulldogs, at their
core, are a pound-it-at-the-defense offense.
Sophomore running back Jerrel Brown (Hillsdale)
was rst-team, All NorCal Conference selection
last year and scored 14 touchdowns. Hes back this
year, bigger and stronger than ever.
We were No. 1 in rushing in the nation last
year. We rushed for like 293 yards a game,
Tulloch said. As long as Bret Pollack is our head
coach, we are going to be extremely physical and
run (the ball).
What hes really worked hard on with our
quarterbacks and wide receivers is being more bal-
anced.
Sharing the load with Brown is grayshirt fresh-
man George Naufahu (San Mateo).
[Naufahu] turned heads in camp this fall,
Tulloch said. [Brown is] a strong dude. At 220
pounds, when he puts his shoulders down, hes
punishing (corner) backs and safeties.
The receiving corps is led by sophomore Aaron
Criswell (Riordan) and grayshirt freshman
Maurice Williams (Palo Alto), who was a key
member of Palo Altos run to the state title in 2010.
Tulloch says Williams compares favorably to for-
mer CSM standout Rahsaan Vaughn, who
University of Oregon is expecting a big year.
As is usually the case, the CSM offensive line
massive. Sophomore Chance Cummings is 6-6,
340 pounds and Nick Maier (Sequoia) goes 6-2,
270. The coaching staff is especially high on for-
mer Homestead standout Dominick Jackson, a
true freshman who is 6-7, 320 pounds. Look for
Viliami Fukofuka (Aragon) and Sione Maile to
also have big years on the line.
The CSM defense is a whos who of big-time
college recruits. Sione Sina is an outside line-
backer who prepped under former San Mateo
High coach T.J. Ewing at Monterey Trail in Elk
Grove. Sina already has 10 scholarship offers and
is making a recruiting trip to Oregon later this sea-
son, where he has all but been guaranteed a schol-
arship. Defensive end Lyman Faoliu, who already
has seven or eight scholarship offers on the table,
will be taking a recruiting trip to Maryland.
Cornerback Nate Jackson (Terra Nova) was near
the top of the Northern California rankings with
eight interceptions and has been offered scholar-
ships by seven or eight four-year schools.
Linebacker Tevita Latimua (Mills), who led
Northern California in tackles last season, has
already made a recruiting trip to BYU.
No amount of preseason rankings and acco-
lades, however, make up for the fact the players
still need to go out and perform. Making their jobs
easier this season is the fact they are facing a
daunting schedule. The CSM coaching staff
should have little problem keeping the team
focused on the opponent at hand.
What an opportunity to go through that sched-
ule. Its just going to make us better. [The sched-
ule makers] gave us all bowl teams, all with win-
ning records. That just gives our guys a chance
every week (to get better), Tulloch said. Whats
good is, not only are they great teams, talent wise,
but theyre extremely well coached. If you ease off
the pedal a little bit, every single team can beat
you.
CSM
signicant vocal leaders which in my opinion, if
you have a team of leaders by example, you have
no leadership. Because, at some point, vocal
leaders need to emerge in order to drive the non-
vocal leaders and others who are wondering
what to do. So, at this point of the year, Id love
to see more vocal leaders and thats something
that Im concerned about, in terms of the spirit of
the team.
What hasnt changed is the level of talent on
the Serra roster. If last year belonged to individ-
ual superstars, the 2012 Padres are more bal-
anced and thus, scarier especially on defense.
Expectations are much higher for this
group, Walsh said of his defense. They should
shoulder the responsibility of the team. They
should shoulder the expectations. We should
have talent that makes plays and not wait around
for another person to do it, or the offense, or spe-
cial teams. We need to deliver on that side of the
ball. Its the exact ip of last year.
In 2011, the defense could rely on the offense
for 38 points per game. In 2012, its the offense
that will rely on a defense that last year gave up
18 points per game and should only do better
this season.
There were built-in excuses for last years
defense, Walsh said, were young, were start-
ing a bunch of sophomores, we need to grow up
quickly. There really isnt that anymore for this
defense barring injuries and stuff like that.
The brunt of that responsibility falls on Peter
Tuipulotu, inside linebacker and three-year var-
sity player who will quarterback the defense.
Hell be joined by Fia Malepeai, Hamilton
Anoai and Tyson Terreros, a player who started
every game at outside linebacker last year as a
sophomore.
The Padres return their entire defensive line in
Cody Brown, Brenden Hisao and Daniel
Lavulo, plus they welcome a junior in Matthew
Dickerson who has all the physical tools to be a
very special player.
On offense, gone are two thirds of the running
machine that tore up the Serra record books. But
the one that stayed, Eric Redwood, is still the
best running back in the county.
We do have a wealth of talent at multiple
positions, not just at running back, Walsh said.
We have some receivers who can catch the ball,
we have some two quarterbacks who worked
hard in the off-season to clean up their throwing
mechanics and become viable passers. Our run-
ning backs can really catch the ball this year,
which adds a whole different element to what
we should be all about. I like to win. Were going
to do what we need to do that.
Zack Kazakoff takes over the quarterbacking
duties in 2012. Hell be protected by an offen-
sive line that lost three of its ve starters. Jon
Beering and Isiah Lauti are the veterans, while
players like Dickerson and Ryan Rudolph are
expected to step up.
On special teams, Anthony Toms returns to
provide the Padres with one of the most consis-
tent and accurate legs in the county.
The goal is to build relationships that last a
lifetime and a family unit that is unbreakable and
impenetrable, Walsh said about his teams
expectations in 2012. We keep score. There are
scoreboards on the elds we play on, thus focus-
ing on the journey hopefully yields to positive
scoreboards and a WCAL title. Theres no place
we would rather be than WCAL champions, in
the Open Division, vying for a regional bid and
the opportunity to play for a state title. That all
starts with the WCAL and it ends with the
WCAL. Period. And thats what were after.

STANFORD The last time
Josh Nunes took a hard hit came
more than two years ago in spring
practice.
Back then, former Stanford coach
Jim Harbaugh allowed defenders to
sack the quarterback on select
plays. Nunes ran into the huddle for
his turn in the rotation, and
Harbaugh threw him a curve.
Hes like, Quarterbacks live!
Nunes recalled. I remember all the
rst-team defensive linemen perk
up and come running back in to get
some plays.
Hits are about to start coming fast
and furious from all angles again.
And this time, the stakes will be
quite different.
The redshirt junior quarterback
will lead No. 21 Stanford into the
post-Andrew Luck era on Friday
night, hosting south bay rival San
Jose State in the season opener. The
game will mark the rst meaningful
minutes for Nunes who has
thrown two passes in his collegiate
career since he was a senior at
Upland High School in Southern
California four years ago, and it
will be the rst glimpse of what life
without Luck might look like this
season.
Its been a long time since Ive
been hit in a real game, Nunes
said. Im kind of looking forward
to it. Its always nice to kind of get
that rst hit and be like, Hey, get
back in the swing of things.
Stanford is trying to do just that
this season.
Gone is the NFLs No. 1 overall
pick, two-time Heisman Trophy
runner-up and perhaps the greatest
player in Stanford history. So are
three others drafted in the top 42
picks, two starting wide receivers
and both safeties. Even the grass is
new for the rst Friday night game
in Stanford Stadium history.
Its not the same, senior defen-
sive tackle Terrence Stephens said.
But I think we have a team full of
people who believe in ourselves.
We realize that not one team is good
because of one player but because
of the collection of ideas and beliefs
and the things that we can do and
our personal abilities.
Whats left is back-to-back
1,000-yard rusher Stepfan Taylor,
two talented tight ends, a vicious
front seven anchoring one of the
Pac-12s top defenses and the
leagues reigning Coach of the Year
in David Shaw. Not to mention the
uncertainty over how much
Stanford leaned on Luck for victo-
ries.
About the only thing Shaw wants
to see under the lights against an
overmatched Spartans team other
than a victory, of course is how
so many new starters will respond to
the slightest bit of adversity.
Stanford opens post-Luck era
Giants rally for third win in Houston
HOUSTON Hunter Pence hit a
go-ahead two-run single in the sev-
enth inning and the San Francisco
Giants rallied again for an 8-4 win
over the Houston Astros on
Thursday night.
The Giants were down 4-0 after
four innings. They cut the lead to
one with a three-run fth inning,
and Pablo Sandoval singled in a run
in the seventh to tie it. Pence, who
hit a three-run homer on
Wednesday, then caused trouble for
his former team again, this time
with a two RBI grounder off
Fernando Rodriguez (1-9) to shal-
low center field that put San
Francisco on top 6-4.
San Francisco came back to win
the opener of the series and
Thursdays win completed their
sixth sweep this season.
Joaquin Arias added a solo homer
in the eighth for the NL-West-lead-
ing Giants.
San Francisco got six innings out
of starter Ryan Vogelsong (12-7).
He allowed seven hits and four runs.
Sergio Romo got the last out of the
ninth for his eighth save.
Tyler Greene homered for the
Astros, who dropped to 1-9 under
interim manager Tony DeFrancesco.
DeFrancesco took over on Aug. 19
after Brad Mills became the rst
manager in the majors to be red
this season.
The announced attendance was
just 12,835, which set a record for
the smallest crowd in the history of
Houstons 12-year-old ballpark.

Fiesta is Fords smallest U.S. car
By Ann M. Job
The Ford Fiesta is a versatile, budget-con-
scious small car with a stylish interior and
upscale car options such as heated leather
seats and voice-recognition controls. The
Fiesta also has higher U.S. government fuel
economy ratings than does a gasoline-pow-
ered Honda Fit.
Best of all, the 2013 Fiesta earned ve out
of ve stars in side crash testing by the U.S.
government. Its one of the few subcompacts
with such a high score in side crash testing.
Available as a ve-door hatchback and a
sedan, the Fiesta features the lowest starting
manufacturers suggested retail price, includ-
ing destination charge, of any new-model
Ford: $13,995 for a base S sedan with ve-
speed manual transmission and $15,090 for a
sedan with automatic. A base, 2013 Fiesta S
hatchback with manual starts at $14,995. A
Fiesta S hatchback with automatic, however,
jumps in price, to $16,090.
All 2013 Fiestas have the same, 120-horse-
power, naturally aspirated, four-cylinder,
gasoline engine, though the Fiesta is sold in
other some countries with diesel engines and
turbocharged power.
In the United States, the Fiesta has a large
number of small-car competitors.
As an example, the starting Fiesta hatch-
back retail prices are $1,120 and $825 less,
respectively, than those for the 2013 Honda
Fit with 117-horsepowr, naturally aspirated
four-cylinder and manual and automatic trans-
See FIESTA, Page 17
Torque in the Fiestas 1.6-liter, double overhead cam, Duratech four cylinder peaks at 112 foot-pounds at a relatively high 5,000 rpm. In
comparison, the Sonics 1.8-liter, turbocharged four cylinder delivers 148 foot-pounds of torque at 2,500 rpm.

missions. But the 2013 Kia Rio ve-door
hatchback with 138-horsepower, naturally
aspirated four cylinder has starting MSRPs,
including destination charge, that are lower
than the Fiestas $14,550 with manual
transmission and $15,650 with automatic.
Meantime, the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic starts
at $14,660 as a sedan with manual transmis-
sion and $15,730 as a sedan with automatic.
As a hatchback, the 2012 Sonic has a starting
MSRP, including destination charge, of
$15,560 with manual transmission and
$16,630 with automatic. Sonics are available
with 138-horsepower, naturally aspirated four
cylinder and 138-horsepower, turbocharged
four cylinder. The turbo four has higher peak
torque and it comes on at a lower rpm.
Not much has changed for the U.S. Fiesta
for the 2013 model year, though standard
equipment and equipment packages are re-
aligned.
The test Fiesta SE hatchback looked good
in its bright red paint with painted aluminum
wheels.
Fiestas have prominent indentations in their
side bodies to add interest. Added-on trim
pieces of silver or black are nonexistent, thus
conveying a clean car that slices through
the air. Front styling has a swanky European
look not exactly brawny and not exactly
cute. Some buyers may prefer a different
appearance, and Ford offers body stripes and
different grille inserts as options.
The test Fiesta ve-door moved along in
trafc and merged well, though the car didnt
have super sporty acceleration.
Gear shifts were noticeable at times. The
transmission was the six-speed PowerShift
automatic thats Fords dual-clutch, semi-
automatic mechanism. It was the subject of
complaints from consumers last year, but
Ford said it has installed new electronic pro-
gramming to better manage the workings of
the transmission.
Torque in the Fiestas 1.6-liter, double
overhead cam, Duratech four cylinder peaks
at 112 foot-pounds at a relatively high 5,000
rpm. In comparison, the Sonics 1.8-liter, tur-
bocharged four cylinder delivers 148 foot-
pounds of torque at 2,500 rpm.
Still, the test Fiesta easily averaged 29
miles per gallon in combined city and high-
way travel, for a total range of nearly 360
miles on a single tank of gas. This mileage is
a bit lower than the combined 33-mpg rating
given to this Fiesta model by the U.S. gov-
ernment, which estimates city mileage at 29
mpg and highway mileage at 39 mpg. A
Fiesta with extra-charge fuel efciency pack-
age is rated at 40 mpg on the highway.
The Honda Fit, in contrast, is rated at 27/33
mpg with automatic transmission and has no
extra fuel efciency package.
The interior of the Fiesta test car had a
snappy-looking dashboard arranged with a
nice array of controls and features that dis-
pelled any thought that this was a Spartan,
cheap vehicle.
In fact, the sticker price was barely over
$19,000, but the test Fiesta drove with sur-
prising competency and nimbleness.
The car absorbed a good number of road
bumps without fuss, and while passengers felt
vibrations from the road, they werent overly
intrusive. The driver, meantime, had a good
feel for the road in the Fiesta SE hatchback,
and found the car tracked accurately in
curves.
Front suspension is independent
MacPherson strut, while a twisted beam and
coil springs handle the rear.
Rack-and-pinion steering was more precise
than expected and added to the drivers con-
dence.
With conservatively sized, 15-inch wheels
and tires, the test Fiesta had no feeling of
unsprung, or heavy, weight at the corners,
which helped explain the satisfactory, non-
jarring ride. Yet, at more than 2,500 pounds,
overall, for the test car with automatic trans-
mission, the Fiesta didnt feel overly light-
weight or tinny, either. This stable feel was
enhanced by standard AdvanceTrac electron-
ic stability control.

Madden
gets big
revamp
By Dirk Lammers
EA Sports has rolled the
dice on a major overhaul of its
best-selling Madden NFL
football franchise this season
and most of its gambles
have paid off.
Madden NFL 13 (for the
Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3,
$59.95) swapped out the booth
announcers, switched to a more classic
presentation, overhauled the menu system
and crafted a comprehensive Connected
Career mode.
But the most notable change is a new
physics engine that dramatically varies
the hits and avoids the repetitive
sequences of previous years. The real-time
action is way more exciting than in previous
years, as players bounce off each other with
force and stumble over on-eld pileups.
The Innity Engine is far from perfect, resulting
at times in bent-back arms, overly dramatic ailing
and enough neck snaps to keep a team neurologist
running tests around the clock. But most of the ani-
mations hold their realism in slow motion.

Hit & Run a fun little car-chase comedy

HIGH TECH/LOW TECH/FIBER
ARTISTS. The Second Annual
International TECHstyle Art Biennial
(ITAB) at the San Jose Museum of Quilts
and Textiles highlights communication
technologies that contemporary fiber artists
use both as a medium of artistic expression
and in the content of their work. The juried
exhibition, which includes pieces by more
than 30 artists, highlights the multicultural
nature of technology-influenced art, with
work submitted from over seven countries.
Shown are both low-tech items, such as
hand-made Kapa cloth, as well as high-tech
pieces of quilted binary code, laser engrav-
ing, digital jacquard weaving, digital print-
ing and 3-D rendering. Dan Olfes Sea
Foam Patterns is an example of the use of
3-D animation software and Photoshop to
create abstracted whole cloth quilts. War in
Black and White by Pixeladies presents
texts about war, culled from found newspa-
pers and magazines, contrasted against the
familiar shape of a simple scarf. Wen-Yin
Huangs Lotus, a symbolic Asian flower for
rebirth, is seen in a new light as the
images change according to the different
light sources projected onto its surface.
Curator Deborah Corsini said, This
Second ITAB biennial features both beauti-
ful and thought-provoking works that are
imaginative, inventive and push the possi-
bilities of the textile medium. The textiles
juried into ITAB showcase a reflection by
contemporary artists to the theme of tech-
nology, its prevailing presence in our cul-
ture and the well spring of ideas that are
manifested.
This Second ITAB Biennial connects
with the larger ZERO1 exhibitions and fes-
tival. Leveraging its location in Silicon
Valley, ITAB serves as a platform for intro-
ducing the emerging work of artists explor-
ing the intersection of fiber art and technol-
ogy to the global community virtual and

subtly amusing bits of Hit & Run. A for-
mer getaway driver for a gang of bank
robbers, Charlie betrayed his pals for a
sort-of noble reason, but Shepards does-
nt play him as a hoodlum with a halo.
Charlies a man who did wrong, is trying
to make amends but offers no excuses for
his misdeeds and is willing to pay the
price should they come back to haunt him.
Of course, they do. Now living in rural
California with academic Annie (Bell),
Charlie decides to break cover and drive
her back to his old stomping grounds in
Los Angeles, where shes got an interview
for her dream job running a campus pro-
gram in conict resolution.
Through the scheming of her old beau,
Gil (Michael Rosenbaum), Charlie and
Annie wind up pursued by his old gang,
including Alex Demitri (Cooper) and
Charlies ex-girlfriend, Neve (Bryant).
Arnold plays federal agent Randy,
Charlies witness-protection minder. A
hapless blusterer, Randys at the center of
many of the movies physical gags; some
are mildly funny, but theyre mostly repet-
itive and disposable, often putting the
brakes on the action so Arnold can launch
into another t of bellowing.
Oddly for a road romp, the main charm
of Hit & Run comes from the verbal
exchanges, either when the characters are
standing still or sharing strange intimacies
during a high-speed chase.
Shepard and Bell make such a natural
couple on screen that its easy to imagine
them, right or wrong, living out a blissful-
ly perfect relationship in real life. They
share low-key, tender moments and some
tough, intelligent quarrels that feel gen-
uine enough to have ltered up out of their
own experiences together.
Coopers an oddly engaging bad guy,
his dreadlocks and gaudy red running
pants setting him apart from the usual
Hollywood heavy. He blends viciousness
with sensitivity, compassion with greed,
making Alex all the more volatile, danger-
ous and entertaining for his unpredictabil-
ity.
Chenoweth has a couple of bawdy
scenes as Annies boss, and Beau Bridges
pops up briey as Charlies dad. Hit &
Run also features quick cameos from
other buddies of Shepard and his crew.
The goodwill among all these friends
spills off the screen to make Hit & Run,
despite its bland title, more clever and
distinctive than the average chase ick.
Shepard cast two of his own vehicles
a supercharged 1967 Lincoln Continental
and his Tatum racing dune buggy and
he demands as much from them as he
does of the actors. Our cars are extensions
of our lives and temperaments. The fact
that Shepard laid his wheels on the line
puts an even more personal spin on the
movie.
Hit & Run, an Open Road Films
release, is rated R for pervasive language
including sexual references, graphic nudi-
ty, some violence and drug content.
Running time: 99 minutes. Two and a half
stars out of four.

my breath no matter how many times I
watch it. The performances and film-
making are all just amazing. And the
script with Clarice, its complex pro-
tagonist, and its twin monsters of
Lecter and Jame Gumb is really
impeccable. One of those rare films
that totally surpasses its source novel.
If you havent seen it recently, find it
and watch it again. It not only holds
up, but I pretty much guarantee itll be
one of the creepiest and best films
youve seen.
Repulsion (1965):
Which Polanski? Knife In The
Water quickly jumps to mind. But
remember that part in Repulsion
where Catherine Deneuves sister has
gone on vacation with her married
boyfriend, and the dude has accidentally
left one of his shirts in their apartment?
And how Deneuve takes the shirt of the
philanderer and just smells it for a long
time? What a weird way to react to
someone you hate. Add the fact that she
wanders around with a dead rabbit in her
purse for half the movie, and youve
gotta put that on the list.
The Conversation (1974):
I love The Conversation. This movie
rocked me the rst time I saw it. Gene
Hackman plays a man so sure of what he
knows, that his mind (and apartment)
becomes entirely dismantled as he nds
out the lesson of assume nothing. I
also love how its basically a faithful
remake of Antonionis Blow Up. But
rainier.
Dont Look Now (1973):
For people who only like things that
make complete sense, maybe this isnt
the rst movie on this list you should
watch. But Nicolas Roegs deconstruct-
ed, fractured editing is at its best here,
and Donald Sutherland is at his most
moody/cool. If psychological thrillers
are all about tone, this lm is the deni-
tion of foreboding. It also makes a terri-
fying case for not allowing any short
people to ever wear red hoodies.
Rear Window (1954):
You could basically do a list of psy-
chological thrillers where it was just all
Hitchcock. Talk about a dudes bread
and butter. But man, was he great at it.
However, I sorta feel like Rear
Window is unique its structure is so
simple yet tense that its inuence can
be felt in almost all examples of the
genre to follow it.
FIVE
Introducing real physics into collisions
is a huge change for the Madden fran-
chise, and the developers are sure to
rene it in future installments.
One of the major offensive changes
this season is the addition of receiver
awareness. A quarterback now must wait
for a receiver to be ready (as indicated
by his icon changing from grayed-out to
color) before making a throw. Thats a
big improvement, since quickly throw-
ing a 10-yard pass to a wide-out running
a deep route should not result in a com-
pletion.
Xbox 360 players can now use the
Kinect microphone to control some of
the action. To be able to simply call out
Audible, Deep Pass when you see the
defense stacked against the run or yell
Blitz on defense is much easier than
scrambling with buttons.
After modeling its presentation style
in previous years around Fox Sports and
ESPN broadcasts, Madden NFL 13
has opted for a more subdued CBS-style
approach, replacing rock and hip-hop
tunes with orchestral scores and putting
Jim Nantz and Phil Simms in the booth.
The play-by-play and commentary are
remarkably natural considering EA
Sports started from scratch with the
announcing pair, and their laid-back
style is better suited to make 9,000
recorded phrases sound like theyre
being spoken in sentences. Attempts
during the past two years to piece
together clips of Fox announcer Gus
Johnson ranging from calm to fren-
zied never quite worked.

Pint-sized on the playa:
Children at BurningMan
By Siobhan McAndrew
RENO, Nev. Its better than Disneyland.
Thats what Laura Romero of Reno said her kids say about
Burning Man, the annual arts festival running through
Monday in the Black Rock desert about 120 miles north of
Reno
The event attracts more than 50,000 people every year,
about 500 under 18, according to organizers. This year,
though, may be the last for children.
A lawsuit led by Burning Man organizers claims Pershing
County is unfairly imposing festival ordinances on the festi-
val, which may allow county deputies to regulate obscene,
indecent, vulgar or lewd behavior.
Some see the playa as a place with too much adult-themed
content for the pint-sized playa player.
For parents, Burning Man has been a chance to bring kids
on the ultimate eld trip.
Its always been a wonderful experience for my children
and family, said Romero, who said she talked about drugs
and what they might see at Burning Man.
I told them never to take anything from anyone, she told
the Reno Gazette-Journal (http://on.rgj.com/RrckBx). At
rst, I worried about the nudity, but my kids didnt even seem
to notice it when it was around. They were too busy looking
at everything else.
Romero and her husband, Philip, started taking their three
kids to Burning Man when their youngest was only 4 months
old.
It is one of my kids favorite things, said Romero of her
now 9-, 14- and 18-year-old children.

WEEKEND JOURNAL 21
By Elizabeth Karmel
If you want to master the art of grilling,
you need to accept the idea that more heat
isnt necessarily better heat.
In other words, just because your grill is
able to crank out 60,000 BTUs doesnt mean
you should let it. Thats because the key to
great grilling actually isnt intense heat, but
something far more nuanced called indirect
heat. In fact, when Im grilling, I use indi-
rect heat at least 80 percent of the time.
The beauty of indirect heat is that it allows
the heat to surround the food from all sides.
The result is that the food almost cooks
itself. As long as you keep the heat even and
consistent, you wont need to rotate the food
for it to cook evenly.
A common mistake when cooking with
indirect heat is to turn off one side of the
grill and just set the food there. But thats
not ideal, as the food closest to the lit burn-
er gets most of the heat. Its better to have
the heat come from both sides, a method that
involves creating a ring of heat around the
food.
But to master indirect heat, you first need
to understand how it differs from direct heat.
Direct heat (also called direct grilling)
involves placing food directly over the heat
source. This is the same method as when
you broil in the oven, except the heat source
is under rather than over the food.
Indirect heat (also called indirect
grilling) means there is no heat source under
the food. The burners are lit on either side of
the grill and the food is placed in the center.
The effect is similar to roasting or baking in
the oven.
The benet of indirect grilling is that it is a
slower and more gentle method, enabling you
to cook thicker cuts of meat (or those that
toughen or dry out quickly) without burning
the exterior. My general rule of thumb is that
if the food takes less than 20 minutes to cook,
use the direct method. Anything longer than
that and indirect heat is your best bet.
Its also possible to use both methods. This
involves searing the meat initially over direct
heat, then nishing it over indirect. This tech-
nique works well for everything from chops
and steaks to whole tenderloins and even
slices of denser vegetables, such as sweet
potatoes and fennel.
This combo method is a time-honored and
well-respected tradition. Its also the grill
version of the way most restaurants chefs
cook almost everything searing on the
stovetop, then nishing in the oven.
How you use direct and indirect heat
depends on the type of grill you have. So here
are some tips for each.
Direct heat on a gas grill
Turn all the burners on high as you normal-
ly would to heat the grill. When ready to
cook, reduce the heat by turning all the burn-
ers to medium. This should result in a tem-
perature of about 450 F. Place the food direct-
ly on clean cooking grates and grill as the
recipe directs.
Indirect heat on a gas grill
Setting a gas grill for indirect cooking is as
simple as turning it on and off. Once the grill
has been heated with all burners on high, sim-
ply turn off the burner or burners in the cen-
ter of the grill and reduce the other burners to
medium or medium-low. The food should be
placed above the burner or burners that have
been turned off.
If your grill has two burners, chances are
that the burners are on the perimeter of the
grill and the center of the cooking grate is
already set up for indirect cooking. A three-
burner grill is the easiest to set; you turn the
center burner off and reduce the heat on the
other two. Set a four-burner grill by turning
both the center burners off and leaving the
two outer burners on medium-high heat.
Since there are so many different models of
gas grills, it is best to refer to the manufac-
turers instructions. Most new gas grills are
designed to be used for both direct and indi-
rect cooking.
Direct heat on a charcoal grill
Light 50 to 60 charcoal briquettes in either
a chimney starter or in a pyramid mound on
the charcoal grate. Once the briquettes are
covered with a white-gray ash, spread the bri-
quettes in a single layer across the entire
charcoal grate.
Indirect heat on a charcoal grill
Light 50 to 60 charcoal briquettes in either
a chimney starter or in a pyramid mound on
the charcoal grate. Once the briquettes are
covered with a white-gray ash, rake half of
the briquettes to each side of the charcoal
grate, leaving space in the center between
them. Place a disposable foil drip pan
between the two piles of coals. The drip pan
will catch fats and juices as the food cooks.
If you want to add some smoky avor, add
soaked wood chips to the gray-ashed bri-
quettes, then replace the cooking grate. Place
the food in the center of the cooking grate
directly over the drip pan and proceed with
the recipe.
The secret to charcoal indirect cooking is
to add briquettes to the re as needed to
maintain the cooking temperature (add about
10 briquettes per side every hour or so, or
The secret to great grilling is indirect heat
The secret to charcoal indirect cooking is to add briquettes to the re as needed to maintain
the cooking temperature (add about 10 briquettes per side every hour or so, or when the
temperature inside the grill gets below 250 F).

when the temperature inside the grill gets
below 250 F). Charcoal briquettes can be
added to the re by dropping additional un-lit
briquettes through the opening by the handles
on each side of the cooking grate.
However, I nd that it is more efcient to
light briquettes in a chimney starter set in a
heavy-duty disposable foil pan 20 minutes
before you need to add them. This way the
new briquettes are already at their prime tem-
perature and covered with a white-gray ash
when you add them.
BEER CAN CHICKEN
Now that you know the difference between
direct and indirect cooking, I cant think of
any better recipe than beer can chicken to test
it out. I guarantee that if you make it once,
youll make it over and over again.
When preparing this recipe, I use a porce-
lain chicken sitter because it stabilizes the
chicken as it grills. Some kitchenware com-
panies also sell metal and wire versions. They
all serve the same purpose an easy and sta-
ble way to prop a whole chicken upright and
over a can or container of beer during cook-
ing. You can do it without a sitter, but take
care to position the chicken steadily during
grilling.
If you prefer a more classic roasted chicken
avor, use only kosher salt and black pepper
to season the chicken. If you want it to have a
barbecued avor, use your favorite dry rub.
Start to nish: 1 1/2 hours
Servings: 4
4- to 5-pound whole chicken, patted dry
Olive oil
2 tablespoons favorite dry rub for meat (or
a blend of kosher salt and ground black pep-
per), divided
12-ounce can beer
Heat the grill to high, then prepare it for
cooking over indirect heat (as described
above depending on the style of grill you
have).
Coat the chicken lightly with oil, then sea-
son it inside and out with 1 tablespoon of the
dry rub. Set aside.
Open the beer can and pour out about 1?4
cup of the beer. Make an extra hole in the top
of the can using a church key-style can open-
er. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of the
dry rub inside the beer can. Place the beer can
in the center of the cooking grate (or in the
sitter, according to product directions) over
indirect medium heat.
Sit the chicken on top of the beer can. The
chicken will appear to be sitting on the grate.
Cover the grill and cook the chicken for 1 to
1 1?2 hours, or until the breast area reaches

The couple, one 86 and the other 90, grew a
bit suspicious while on the phone with their
grandson because he didnt sound the same,
the couple shared with the Daily Journal.
They were told, however, the grandson
sounded different because he suffered a major
injury and had his mouth stitched up.
The couple quickly went to a local Western
Union ofce and wired $1,900 to who they
thought was their grandson. They then were
told the $1,900 would not be enough and were
asked to wire another $2,100, so they did.
The fake grandson then pleaded with the
couple to keep the story secret as to avoid
embarrassment.
Later in the day, however, they told the story
to one of their daughters, a lawyer, who then
had them le a police report.
They also were able to speak to their real
grandson later in the day who told them he
was ne.
The Hillsborough Police Department has
started to investigate the scam. The money
was wired overseas, Hillsborough police
Capt. Caroline Serrato said.
Recently, Hillsborough police were able to
recover nearly $70,000 from a group of scam
artists in Canada who swindled one of the
citys residents.
Its a profession for these scam artists who
prey on the elderly, Serrato said. You have
to be tenacious to catch them.
Recently, Serrato said, a local Safeway
clerk was able to deter an elderly
Hillsborough resident from purchasing a
money order for a family member because the
story sounded suspicious.
The clerk was able to convince the victim to
le a police report, Serrato said.
Hillsborough residents have been the target
of three standard scams since about 2009,
Serrato said.
The rst is a telephone scam in which con
artists pretend to be a family member in trou-
ble; the second is a lotto scam in which the
victim is told money needs to be wired for tax
purposes; and the third is a scam in which
individuals are approached in a parking lot or
at home by someone claiming the victims
vehicle collided with theirs and caused dam-
age, Serrato said.
The problem is nationwide, she said.
The scam artists who phoned the
Schlesingers Tuesday knew their son lived in
Southern California and had other personal
information about the couple, including their
address. Their phone number is also supposed
to be unlisted.
The story sounded plausible, the
Schlesingers said.
Hillsborough residents who feel they have
been the victim of a scam should phone police
at (650) 375-7470.

SCAM
At approximately 8:53 p.m., police say
Daniel Thomas Cassidy, 24, of Burlingame,
approached a woman at the ATM on 1145
Broadway. He was holding a large folding
knife and ordered the woman at knifepoint
to withdraw $100 three times from the ATM,
The woman complied and he fled on foot.
A Burlingame officer in the area spotted
Cassidy getting into a pickup truck a block
from the bank and take off, according to
police.
The officer pursued him and witnessed
him crash into an occupied vehicle, injuring
the woman inside, and vegetation near the
Burlingame/Hillsborough border. With his
truck disabled, he then fled on foot, accord-
ing to police. Officers confronted him in a
front yard of a Hillsborough home in the
2000 block of Forrest View Avenue and,
after two Taser shots failed to slow him,
were able to subdue him physically.
Cassidy still had the knife and two stab
wounds to his abdomen. Authorities
believed he was suicidal and took him to San
Francisco General Hospital where he was
placed on a mental health hold.
On Thursday, Cassidy appeared in court
on felony charges of robbery with a knife,
fleeing and hit and run. He was also charged
with a misdemeanor count of resisting
arrest. Bail was set at $100,000 and he
returns to court Sept. 4 for further hearing
on a request to be released on his own recog-
nizance.

equity union actor C.J. Blankenship,
who she thought would be marvelous to
play the lead Coalhouse Walker Jr.
Annemarie Martin is another union actor
who auditioned for the second lead role,
Mother. Other than Blankenship and
Martin, the rest of the 49 performers are
volunteers.
Blankenship, 42, said he is excited to
work under a strong theater group in the
process of growing. Having acted for 24
years, this will be the rst time he steps
on the stage of the Hillbarn Theatre, he
said.
Ragtime, which takes place more
than 100 years ago, dealt with issues
concerning the general publics feelings
of being disenfranchised by the govern-
ment, he said. The play is about change
during times of turmoil; appropriate as a
century later were still dealing with
those same notions about the 99 percent,
he said.
Hopefully, shows like Ragtime can
help bring this cycle to our conscious-
ness so we can realize and change, so we
dont continue to repeat the same mis-
takes from history, Blankenship said.
This powerful message and the actors
arent the only ones that will be lighting
up the stage. With help from engineer
Mike Ansell, Hillbarn has created its
very own Ford Model T, iconic to the
play and its era. The prop Model T is
formed from the chassis of an actual car,
berglass and bicycle tires. Equipped
with leather seats, a car battery and an
electric engine, the car not only looks
realistic, it actually runs, said Foster.
The Hillbarn crew has been working
on the upcoming production for several
months; including the past 48 days
straight of rehearsal, said Foster.
The theater provides an outlet to the
community and to those who crave stage
time, Foster said. Thanks to volunteers
and staff, Hillbarn is about redening
community theater; thats what we do
every day, Foster said.
With Foster directing, her husband
Greg Sudmeier acting as musical direc-
tor and an extensive cast, the play is set
to run Thursdays-Sundays through Sept.
23. It ofcially opens tonight.
Truthfully, its been awesome. I love
every single second of it. I have the best
cast and the best team, Foster said. Im
the luckiest person on the planet that I
can do this.

If you go
pension spiking when special bonuses,
last-minute promotions, excessive
overtime or other gimmicks are used to
artificially inflate final compensation
and consequently the favored employ-
ees pension, according to the gover-
nors office.
The proposal would also cap pen-
sions at the $110,000 mark even if a
public employee earns $250,000,
Simitian said.
The state got in this mess because
lawmakers made mistakes in the past
when revenue was high, Assemblyman
Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, told the
Daily Journal.
We made decisions based on
assumptions that revenue was continu-
ally growing, Gordon said.
The states current pension obliga-
tions are off the chart, he said.
Weve moved the curve. Some will
say not enough and others will say too
much but the important thing is that we
moved the curve, Gordon said. And
we are not done.
Assembly Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo,
calls the proposal a step in the right
direction but that the discussion does
not end with todays vote.
Hill said lawmakers at the state,
county and city level were misled by
the California Public Employees
Retirement System going back as far as
the late 1990s when returns on invest-
ments were high.
We were told it wouldnt cost us a
dime, Hill said about CalPERS and
his time serving on the San Mateo City
Council. But the investments dropped,
Hill said, and pension liabilities
soared.
The state, counties and cities all suf-
fered when the investments went bad,
he said.
Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, D-San
Francisco/San Mateo, authored legisla-
tion in 2010 that included many of the
pension reform measures lawmakers
will vote on today.
But AB 1987 was vetoed by then
governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in
October 2010.
The bill would have eliminated pen-
sion spiking, double dipping and gold-
en handshakes. It also provided audits
of county pension systems.
These reforms are needed, Ma said
yesterday.
While none of the lawmakers who
spoke with the Daily Journal called AB
340 a perfect solution, they said it was
a good starting point.
It closes every loophole for abuse,
Hill said. It is not perfect and not
everything we wanted but it is substan-
tial.
The reform plan raises the minimum
retirement ages for new employees to
67, rather than 55, to receive full bene-
fits. For public safety workers, it goes
from age 50 to 57, and the maximum
benefit formula is reduced.
It also calls for greater employee
contribution to pensions.
Pension benefits are funded through
a combination of employer contribu-
tions, employee contributions and
investment returns. Currently, state
employees contribute between 5 per-
cent to 9 percent of their salaries to
their pensions; at the local level, con-
tributions vary widely among different
municipalities.
Recently, a number of unions have
agreed to increase their current employ-
ee contributions to 10 percent of salary.
This will save the state as much as $100
million in the upcoming fiscal year,
according to the governors office.
The state has about 245,000 employ-
ees.
The League of California Cities is
urging the Legislature to approve AB
340, the California Public Employees
Pension Reform Act of 2013.
The city officials of California rec-
ognize that pension reform is a journey
and not just a destination. They have
enacted a number of cost-saving pen-
sion reforms already, and this legisla-
tion would give them valuable new
tools for achieving additional savings
with existing employees while at the
same time requiring more sustainable
and affordable pension plans for new
employees, League President and
Mountain View Mayor Mike
Kasperzak wrote in a statement. This
is a win-win for the cities and taxpay-
ers of California and we appreciate the
governors and Legislatures leadership
on this important issue.

PENSION
FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 2012
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- None of the parties
involved are apt to be satisfed with a sensible agree-
ment thats being worked out. If this continues, its
prospects for survival are dubious.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Although at times you
can be pretty good at juggling several critical assign-
ments simultaneously, this is not likely to be one of
those days. It may be best to do less, and do it well.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A small misunder-
standing might easily arise between you and a good
friend. It could even become magnifed beyond its
signifcance if allowed to turn into a clash of wills.
Back off.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If your timing and
tactics are not in sync, itll be extremely diffcult to
fulfll any ambitious objectives. Do whats smart and
effective, not whats convenient.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Strive to be diplo-
matic regarding any issue that you need to discuss
with a temperamental friend. If your opinions are
not in harmony, it could quickly turn into a heated
argument.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If there are still some
old accounts that havent been cleared from your
books as yet, its best not to assume any new fnan-
cial obligations. Try not to overburden your budget.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Any important friend-
ship must be handled with more than the usual
amount of consideration and tact. Any thoughtless
behavior or misunderstanding could put the relation-
ship in jeopardy.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Its extremely important
that you dont allow your responsibilities to pile up on
you. If you do, youre going to have a devil of a time
trying to catch up.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can sometimes be
a rather gregarious person, who feels comfortable
even in a crowd. However, those times are limited, so
if solitude appeals to you, do your own thing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- In all probability, youre
going to fnd yourself the center of attention, but oth-
ers wont be looking for things to admire about you. It
behooves you to be on your best behavior, to foil the
ones hoping youll slip up.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Be careful about
imposing your opinions on an unresponsive listener.
In all probability, this person will be slow to anger, but
your intrusion could stir him or her up.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There is a strong possibil-
ity that both you and your mate might each feel its
the other one who is spending too much money and
wrecking the budget. In reality, its both.

TENTIAL BIDDERS If you are consider-
ing bidding on this property lien, you
should understand that there are risks in-
volved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on a
property itself. Placing the highest bid at
a trustee auction does not automatically
entitle you to free and clear ownership of
the property. You should also be aware
that the lien being auctioned off may be a
junior lien. If you are the highest bidder
at the auction, you are or may be respon-
sible for paying off all liens senior to the
lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You
are encouraged to investigate the exis-
tence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder's office or
a title insurance company, either of
which may charge you a fee for this infor-
mation. If you consult either of these re-
sources, you should be aware that the
lender may hold more than one mort-
gage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The
sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale post-
ponements be made available to you and
to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been post-
poned, and, if applicable, the resched-
uled time and date for the sale of this
property, you may call 1-800-281-8219
or visit this Internet Web site www.recon-
trustco.com, using the file number as-
signed to this case 12-0012817. Infor-
mation about postponements that are
very short in duration or that occur close
in time to the scheduled sale may not im-
mediately be reflected in the telephone
information or on the Internet Web site.
The best way to verify postponement in-
formation is to attend the scheduled sale.

VIENNA Iran has effectively
shut down a probe of a site suspect-
ed of being used for work on
nuclear weapons development
while doubling the number of
machines it could use to make the
core of nuclear warheads at an
underground bunker safe from air-
borne attack, the U.N. nuclear
agency said in a report Thursday.
Senior diplomats familiar with
the International Atomic Energy
Agencys latest report called both
developments troubling, while cau-
tioning that it was unclear how
many of the more than 2,000 cen-
trifuges now installed at the Fordo
site were operational. They noted
that agency inspectors did not have
access to check their inner work-
ings.
They also said it was unclear
what the ultimate use of the
machines would be, if and when
they are turned on. Iran is enriching
uranium at a level that could be
used for reactor fuel as well as
grades closer to the level used for
nuclear warheads, and the ofcials
said Iranian ofcials had not said
what level the centrifuges now
installed but not working would be
used for.
The two diplomats, who are
familiar with the IAEAs Iran inves-
tigation, demanded anonymity
because they were not authorized to
comment on the condential report.
Importantly, the report noted that
Iran had not signicantly increased
the pace of either low or higher-
level uranium enrichment. It noted
that less than 700 of the machines
all producing higher level mate-
rial at 20 percent were operating
at Fordo, and about 10,000 were
turning out lower-level enriched
uranium at another site.
Those are approximately the
same numbers as mentioned in the
agencys last report in May.
The report also noted that Iran has
turned much of the uranium that
was enriched to the higher, 20-per-
cent levels into reactor fuel plates
that are difcult to retool into ssile
warhead material. As a result, it is
still far short of the amount of high-
er enriched uranium it would need
to quickly enrich the element fur-
ther to weapons-grade levels.
While Iran already has enough
low-grade enriched uranium to
make several nuclear weapons, that
process would take long enough to
send alarm signals to the outside
world.
Tom Z. Collina and Daryl
Kimball of the Washington-based
Arms Control Association said
the common assumption is that
if Tehran were to decide to
break out and race to build a
bomb, it would try to do so by
using its still small stock of 20-
percent enriched uranium.
They called the IAEA report
another troubling reminder of
Irans proliferation potential, while
describing it as not a game-chang-
er in terms of Tehrans capability to
build a nuclear arsenal if it were to
decide to do so.
Iran denies any interest in nuclear
arms, insisting it is enriching urani-
um only to make reactor fuel and
medical isotopes, and for scientic
research. Still, concerns have grown
about its ultimate aims because it
has refused to stop enriching urani-
um despite increasingly severe
international sanctions and outside
offers of enriched material for its
stated needs.
As signs grow that international
efforts are failing to engage Iran
diplomatically on its nuclear pro-
gram, so are threats of attack from
Israel, which says it will not tolerate
an Iran armed with nuclear
weapons.
Asked about the latest report,
White House spokesman Jay
Carney told reporters that President
Barack Obama has made clear fre-
quently that he is determined to pre-
vent Iran from obtaining a nuclear
weapon and he has led an unprece-
dented effort to pressure Iran to live
up to its obligations.
The window of opportunity to
resolve this diplomatically remains
open but it will not remain open
indenitely, he said.
U.N. nuke agency: Iran hampers probe
By Nasser Karimi
and Brian Murphy
TEHRAN, Iran In a sweep-
ing message that Iran is on the
wrong side of Syrias civil war,
Egypts new president urged the
world Thursday to support the
rebels seeking to topple Bashar
Assad and suggested that Tehran
could risk a deepening confronta-
tion with regional powers over the
fate of the regime in Damascus.
The stinging comments by
President Mohammed Morsi
making his rst visit to Iran by an
Egyptian leader since the 1979
Islamic Revolution was another
blindside blow for Iran as host of
an international gathering of so-
called nonaligned nations.
His speech, delivered while seat-
ed next to Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, prompted
Syrias delegation to walk out of
the gathering.
Irans leaders have claimed that
the weeklong meeting, which
wraps up Friday, displayed the
futility of Western attempts to iso-
late the country
over its nuclear
program.
But Iran also
was forced to
endure criti-
cism from
Morsi and
another high-
profile guest,
U.N. Secretary-
General Ban
Ki-moon, who cited concerns
about Irans human rights record
and called its condemnations of
Israel unacceptable.
Its highly unlikely that Iran
would abandon Assad as long as
there is a chance for him or at
least the core of his regime to
hang on. Iran counts on Syria as a
strategic outlet to the
Mediterranean and a conduit to its
anti-Israeli proxy Hezbollah in
Lebanon.
But the meeting highlighted how
much Iran is out of step with the
rest of the region over Syria. Other
major rebel backers at the confer-
ence included Gulf states led by
Iran rival Saudi Arabia.
