Summers arent normally a busy time at local high schools, but the sunshine was supposed to give a nancial boost to the San Mateo Union High School District through a new solar program the use of which has been delayed. Solar panels at three high schools
Burlingame, Capuchino and Mills were scheduled to go live July 1, just in time for the sunniest times of year. Getting the system up and running is crucial to the districts ability to generate power rebates. This years budget calls for $800,000 in revenue from such rebates. But the panels are not yet in use as the district and Pacic Gas and Electric debate a disconnect switch. All the panels are laid out, ready to go, but
until we can get onto the grid and give energy back to the grid we cant generate rebates, said Elizabeth McManus, deputy superintendent of business services. The issue is the disconnect switch. Solar panels dont necessarily turn off as nature creates the power. PG&E, however, needs to be able to turn it off should work on the schools electrical system need to be completed, Project Manager Todd Lee explained.
It allows the company to be sure solar-generated power doesnt backll the area someone is working on elsewhere and possibly electrocute a worker. PG&E spokesman Jason King said safety is the companys biggest concern. Employees were sent to the high school sites Wednesday to check the districts system in hopes of nd-
Increasing wireless communication in Burlingame could mean adding antennas to residential areas a proposal residents feel is unnecessary and unsightly. T-Mobile and ExteNet Systems have put in 27 applications to install antennas in residential areas of Burlingame to meet the Terry Nagel growing need for cell service. These smaller devices are proposed to be placed within residential areas. Company representatives say it will allow for increased service throughout the county. Residents, on the other hand, nd the proposed installations to be both a blight and unnecessary. Since the city does not yet have a policy in place about wireless communications facilities, residents are hoping for a moratorium on installation to allow for more research. Its understandable that many residents have lots of questions about this issue. The city is researching their concerns and legal options. We will soon hold a study session to clarify

A update of what used to be known as a food pyramid in 2010 had called on Americans to eat more foods containing potassium, dietary ber, vitamin D and calcium. But if they did that, the journal Health Affairs said, they would add hundreds more dollars to their annual grocery bill.

A man was seen attempting to steal FedEx packages in the lobby area of a building on the 3100 block of Campus Drive in San Mateo before 8:44 p.m. Sunday, July 24.
One of two men accused of breaking into a San Bruno pot-growing house operated by two senior women was immediately sentenced to 15 days in jail after pleading no contest to misdemeanor vandalism and trespassing. Kitae Chae, 38, was given credit for time served plus 18 months court probation. He will also pay restitution in an amount to be determined Oct. 7. Meanwhile, co-defendant Kenny Kong, 34, continued his case on the same charges until Sept. 15 after a separate felony case from September involving marijuana cultivation and sale. The two men were arrested April 29 after neighbors of a Valleywood Drive home
reported hearing a loud banging coming from the Valleywood Drive home and saw two men breaking down the door. The men later identied as Chae and Kong went inside for a few minutes before leaving but San Bruno police nabbed them in South San Kitae Chae Francisco. Police reported recovering the cash, marijuana packaging material like dryer sheets, dust masks and plastic bags, and seven ecstasy pills. Two weeks previous, police had searched a different San Bruno home with more than 540 marijuana plants inside and items that pointed to Kong, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Inside the car at the time of Kongs arrest police also found paperwork that tied him to the home, Wagstaffe said. More surprising to authorities were the occupants of the home apparently being burgled. Police say Aleen Lam, 72, and Virginia Chan Pon, 65, were growing more than 800 marijuana plants inside the home with an electrical bypass. Both women have pleaded not guilty to possession of marijuana for sale, cultivating marijuana for sale, possessing a grow house and stealing electricity. Pon also has a pending case in Yolo County in which she is accused of passing more than $40,000 in bad checks over a three-day span at Cache Creek Casino in Brooks, Calif. Kong remains free from custody on a $100,000 bail bond.

A Palo Alto man walked around the Sequoia Hospital psychiatric ward with four-inch knife in an ankle sheath, videotaping the experience for later posting online, according to San Mateo County prosecutors who charged him with illegally possessing a weapon. Oleg Igorevich Volfovskiy, 25, reportedly traveled around the Redwood City facility on March 3 but was not arrested on a warrant until July 22. In March, prosecutors say, Volfovskiy
attached the knife to his ankle and went to Sequoia specically to tape himself doing so. He later posted the footage on his Facebook page and on YouTube, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. Security cameras at the hospital captured Volfovskiys recording and hospital ofcials contacted Redwood City police. Sequoia spokeswoman Joanie Cavanaugh did not return an email inquiry for comment. At his initial arraignment, Volfovskiy pleaded not guilty to one felony count of unlawfully carrying a weapon and asked for a courtappointed attorney. He did not waive his right
to a speedy trial and returns to court Aug. 12 for a preliminary hearing. Bail was set at $20,000 and Volfovskiy remains in custody. He reportedly has some psychiatric issues, Wagstaffe said. He does not have any prior criminal history in San Mateo County, according to court records.

WASHINGTON Seventy-two people have been charged with participating in an international child pornography network that prosecutors say used an online bulletin board called Dreamboard to trade tens of thousands of images and videos of sexually abused children. Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet
Napolitano said Wednesday a 20month law enforcement effort called Operation Delego targeted more than 600 Dreamboard members around the world for allegedly participating in the Eric Holder private, membersonly Internet club created to promote
pedophilia. Numerous participants in the network sexually abused children ages 12 and under, produced images and video of the abuse and then shared it with other club members, according to court papers released in the case. At a news conference at the Justice Department, the attorney general called the criminal activity a nightmare for the children and said that some of the children featured in the images and videos were just infants.
WASHINGTON In a spectacle that might have beguiled poets, lovers and songwriters if only they had been around to see it, Earth once had two moons, astronomers now think. But the smaller one smashed into the other in what is being called the big splat. The result: Our planet was left with a single bulked-up and ever-so-slightly lopsided moon.
The astronomers came up with the scenario to explain why the moons far side is so much more hilly than the one that is always facing Earth. The theory, outlined Wednesday in the journal Nature, comes complete with computer model runs showing how it might have happened and an illustration that looks like the bigger moon getting a pie in the face. Outside experts said the idea makes sense, but they arent completely sold yet.

CAIRO From a bed inside the defendants cage, an ashen-faced Hosni Mubarak showed a glimmer of his old deance. Egypts former president wagged his nger in the air and denied all charges against him Wednesday as he went on trial for alleged corruption and complicity in the deaths of protesters who helped drive him from power. The spectacle, watched live on state television by millions of Egyptians, calmed the fury of those who suffered under his rule some of them parents of children gunned down during the uprising that toppled the longtime president. The father of a slain protester, among those sweltering in the heat outside the courtroom on the third day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, was ecstatic. The biggest achievement of this revolution is that all these crooks and scum are in a cage, said Mohammed Mustafa El-Aqqad. Were here to tell Hosni, Happy Ramadan.
The biggest achievement of this revolution is that all these crooks and scum are in a cage....Were here to tell Hosni,Happy Ramadan.Congratulations on your new cage.
Mohammed Mustafa El-Aqqad
Congratulations on your new cage. The ailing 83-year-old Mubarak lay on a hospital bed as his sons, one-time heir apparent Gamal and wealthy businessman Alaa, stood protectively beside him, at times trying to shield their father from the camera and hundreds of spectators. Dressed in white prison uniforms, the two younger Mubaraks denied charges of corruption. The sight of Mubarak lying helplessly in bed inside the grim metal and wire cage was a stunning moment for Egyptians and for a region known more for its presidents-for-life and absolute monarchs than democracy or accountability. With Arab Spring revolts sweeping the Middle East, the sight of Mubarak during Wednesdays hearing could serve as a power-
ful cautionary tale for other autocratic leaders who have long acted as if they alone were t to rule. From Libyas Moammar Gadha to Syrias Bashar Assad and Yemens Ali Abdullah Saleh, the lesson of Mubaraks predicament may be very simple: Dont lose. People watching the spectacle across the region proclaimed it a watershed. This is the beginning of democracy in the Arab world, declared Rabha Idris, an engineer from Libya, where the uprising against Gadhas rule is into its seventh month. This is a new era, enthused Zainab Hassan, a 22-year-old university student from Bahrain, a tiny Gulf Arab nation whose Muslim Shiite majority is demanding equality with the Sunni minority. The people now believe they can be free from dictatorship.
COUNTY GOVERNMENT
San Mateo County is holding a public workshop to receive public input on the Energy Efciency Climate Action Plan, a project to increase efciency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. County staff will provide information on how the plan will be developed and implemented and participants will be asked to share their vision for sustainability. The workshop is 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 9 at the Fair Oaks Community Center, Rooms 1 to 3, 2600 Middleeld Road, Redwood City. More information is available at www.co.sanmateo.ca.us/planning/reschargesmc/aboutEECAP.html.
Nineteen development companies submitted plans for turning parking lots in downtown Burlingame into revenue producers and city officials will now begin evaluating ideas. While the City Council plans to maintain its downtown parking, it is also open to leveraging the land to create new opportunities downtown like a boutique hotel to boost revenue. At a study session late last year, the council overwhelmingly supported new development and creative ideas. It hammered out preferences like proposals
that create income without decreasing the number of parking spaces. In late May, the city sent out a request for proposals to 90 qualified developers hopefully interested in partnering with the city. Anyone interested needed to turn in a financially viable option by Monday. Nineteen were received, said Community Development Director Bill Meeker. Were quite pleased with the response, he said. Meeker is now working to organize the ideas to decide which might be worth pursuing. This step, Meeker estimated, would take a few weeks.
Burlingame owns 20 surface parking lots distributed throughout downtown. The Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan, centered on the Burlingame and Howard avenues commercial areas, encourages mixed-use and/or residential development to maintain and enhance the vibrant pedestrian-oriented shopping area. Since parking is extremely important to downtowns vitality, the request for proposal states that any new developments must provide for the replacement of public parking spaces either at the development site or at another location. Thus, there will be no net loss of parking downtown.
White House planning to fight Burial or Cremation: U.S. terror light on new ideas Why does this matter?

WASHINGTON The Obama administrations new strategy to ght the threat of alQaida and other violent radicals in the U.S. is short on details and fails to name a single point of coordination for all of the various initiatives at the federal and local levels, said lawmakers who have asked the government
for years to develop a plan for the homegrown terror threat. After more than two years of high-level meetings, the White House released an eight-page document Wednesday that broadly describes a strategy, mostly of initiatives already under way to prevent violent ideologically inspired attacks like the deadly 2009 shootings at an Arkansas military recruiting center and at the Holocaust museum in Washington.

MILLBRAE Are you ever asked the question: Burial or Cremation? Im sure youve thought about this but have you ever seriously thought about this? It is tough for some of us to give this topic the time of day but for many more of us this is a topic of curiosity, and also a topic we will need to deal with at some point in our lives. Burial or Cremation is always a personal choice but did you know that in the long run there is little difference between the two, also a BIG difference but not in the way you think? In the eyes of the state both Burial and Cremation are considered a form of final disposition. Still, it is not that simple. A basic explanation would be this: Burial is a final location; Cremation is a step to a final location. What does this mean? In scenario number one: following a visitation & funeral service the deceased is taken to a specific cemetery to be placed in either a ground burial location or a mausoleum space BUT in a second scenario: following that same visitation & funeral service the deceased would be taken to a crematory to complete the cremation process. When the cremated remains are ready a choice would be needed by the next of kin on whether the cremated remains are to be buried in a cemetery, scattered at sea, taken home, etc. So, when Cremation is selected, Burial can still be the final disposition following the cremation, among other choices. People dont deal with this topic every day, and I know that it is imagined by some that Cremation means the deceased is taken

Rose Stoller
Born as Rose Glaser November 19, 1919 in Odense, North Dakota. Rose, husband Bill and 4 children came to California in 1954 and lived in Daly City for 9 years before settling in as a long time resident of San Mateo. Rose passed away peacefully July 30, 2011. Rose is survived by her sisters: Elaine Geiger, Monica Stoller, Maggie Froelich, and Bertha Barth and her beloved children: Phyllis (Tom) Gilseth, Rodney (Janet) Stoller, Wayne Stoller (Valerie Acker) and Keith Stoller (Christy Ellison). Rose is also survived by her adored grandchildren: Paul, Jason, Stephanie and Heather. Also by her cherished 7 great-grandchildren along with numerous nieces and nephews. Rose was predeceased by her husband of 59 years, Bill; her parents, Rose and Frank Glaser, and her brothers: Adam, Frank, John, Mike, Tony and Lawrence, her sister Lizzy, and her grandson Erik. Rose enjoyed caring for her garden, listening to country western music, and spending time with her beloved family reminiscing of North Dakota nostalgia. Rose was an avid SF Giants and 49ers fan.

away and will just disappear. That is never the case, and there is always the necessity to properly give the deceased a final resting place. The state legally requires it, and the funeral home is mandated to complete & file necessary paperwork reflecting it prior to any final disposition. I know all this may seem complicated, but it is our job as Funeral Directors to make it all very simple and guide you every step of the way. It is our duty to support families as they maneuver through a sometimes daunting situation and unfamiliar territory, and to provide various options on what is available. Many prefer to make pre-need arrangements years in advance so choices can be made in a more relaxed atmosphere. Pause and imagine yourself as the next of kin following the death of a loved one and being asked the question Burial or Cremation?. Can you knowledgeably answer that? It may be a good idea to at least give the question some thought now. Ive served a few families in the past who couldnt answer that question and ended up making a quick decision they later regretted. It wont hurt to let this topic cross your mind, or even to discuss this question with your family, loved ones, clergy or those who give you support. Look back at your family traditions and use that as a guide. Its important for those who care to have a way to say farewell, and for many to have a place to go following the funeral as a way to visit and begin the healing process. If you ever wish to discuss cremation, funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650) 588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you in a fair and helpful manner.

es and homes. The governor declared that the future of energy is not Texas oil, but California sun. He may well be right, but there is considerable uncertainty about the prospects of his latest California dream ever coming true. The big question is whether it is economically feasible to produce renewable energy from non-fossil-fuel sources such as solar, wind, biomass and hydropower. Today, solar energy costs considerably more than electricity produced by natural gas and other fossil fuels. But solar energy costs have been coming down gradually, while the cost of petroleum has been rising and is likely to continue to go up. Also, solar energy is available only when the sun shines, and electricity cannot be stored except in electric-car batteries. Sun power can be a major source of energy during peak hours of use during the summer, when air conditioning consumes a massive portion of the states electricity production. As electric and plug-in hybrid cars become
ov. Jerry Brown has a well-earned reputation for promoting environmentalism. It was under his administration in the 1970s that California took the lead in reducing auto emissions and greatly improved energy efciency. That is a major reason why Californians today use substantially less energy per capita than the national average. Browns latest foray into improving the environment is his ambitious goal of tripling the amount of electricity that California receives from renewable energy, primarily through solar power. He is seeking 20,000 new megawatts of renewable electricity by 2020. That is enough to power 20 cities the size of San Francisco. About 8,000 megawatts of this energy would come from large solar power plants like the 392-megawatt BrightSource project in the Invapah area of San Bernardino County and 12,000 megawatts from a multitude of smaller, local solar arrays and other renewable sources to deliver electricity to business-
more popular, additional electricity production will be required and could be provided by solar energy during the day. If solar power and other renewable energy sources can take over a large percentage of electricity production during peak hours in a cost-effective manner, California would be well served with a clean, locally produced source of energy. Its the cost-effective part of the equation that is the greatest challenge to Browns vision. There is encouraging news from Germany, which gets 17percent of its electricity from renewable sources and has set a goal of 39percent by 2020. Germany installed 7,400 megawatts of solar power last year, more than a third of what Brown seeks over the next decade in California. California should aggressively pursue solar power and other renewable sources of energy for the future. But it must do so in a way that is compatible with current economic realities. If solar power is seen as an economic impediment instead of a promising source of clean energy, Browns vision is not likely to become a reality.

youre starting to see some element of panic nally showing up, said Andrew Goldberg, U.S. market strategist at JP Morgan Funds. The Dow, the Standard & Poors 500 index and Nasdaq were down more than 1 percent earlier in the day, but edged higher throughout the afternoon. The Dow Jones industrial average nished with a gain of 0.3 percent, to 11,896.44. The S&P 500 index rose 6.29, or 0.5 percent, to 1,260.34. The S&P had been down for seven straight days through Tuesday. It is up 0.2 percent for the year after being down 0.3 for the year on Tuesday. The Nasdaq composite added 23.83, or 0.9 percent, to 2,693.07. The broad S&P 500 index the index followed by most professional money managers and U.S. mutual funds rose after it hit a low for the year of 1,234. Some investors saw it as an opportunity to buy the S&P 500 index. As a whole, companies in the index are expected to have record prots this year. Some of those gains might also be due to automatic buying triggered when an index reaches a certain level. Many traders use computer programs that buy or sell stocks once they break through their long-term averages.

NEW YORK Stock indexes came back from deep losses in the morning and ended Wednesday with small gains. The Dow Jones industrial average avoided its longest losing streak since Jimmy Carter was president. The Dow rose 30 points after being down 166 to break an eight-day losing streak. Nine days would have been the longest since February 1978. The S&P 500 index rose 6 points and broke a seven-day streak. Markets have fallen recently because investors are becoming increasingly worried about the U.S. economy. Shortly after the market opened, the Institute of Supply Management said its index measuring the service sector of the U.S. economy grew in July at the weakest pace in 17 months. Economists had expected a slight increase. The report was the latest sign over the last week that the economy may be slowing. Consumer cut their spending in June for the rst time in nearly two years; manufacturing slowed, and the government said that in the rst half of the year the economy grew at its slowest pace since the recession ended in June 2009. There has been too much at the same time for investors to hang in there and
WASHINGTON Shoppers wont shop. Companies wont hire. The government wont spend on economic stimulus its cutting instead. And the Federal Reserve is reluctant to do anything more. Without much to invigorate growth, the economy may be in danger of slipping into a stupor like the one Japan has failed to shake off for more than a decade. And Wall Street is spooked. The Dow Jones industrial average Wednesday barely broke an eight-day losing streak, nishing up about 30 points. A nine-day losing streak would have been the Dows rst since February 1978.
Even with the gain, the Dow has fallen 828 points, or 6.5 percent, over the past nine trading days. Investors didnt even pause to celebrate the resolution over the weekend of a dangerous debt standoff in Washington. Stunned by news last week that the economy barely grew in the rst half of 2011, economists are lowering their forecasts for the full year and recalculating the odds that the economy will slide back into recession. Kurt Karl, chief U.S. economist at Swiss Re, has cut his 2011 forecast for growth this year to 1.8 percent from 2.6 percent. And he has bumped up the likelihood of another recession to 20 percent from 15 percent. The last week has made it much more likely that corporate prot estimates will
be revised lower, said Nick Kalivas, a vice president of nancial research at MF Global. The stocks that have fallen the furthest have been those of companies that fare best in economic expansions. Industrial companies like Caterpillar and Boeing, energy companies like Exxon Mobil and Chevron, and retailers like Amazon and Coach have all fallen by more than the broader stock market. Investors have pushed government bond yields to their lowest level of the year. The 10-year Treasury note now yields 2.6 percent. Bond yields typically fall when the economy is weak because nervous investors view bonds as a safe place to park their money, and theres less chance that ination will erode their value.
NEW YORK The number of Americans newly infected with the AIDS virus each year has been holding steady at about 50,000, according to a government report released Wednesday. But a U.S. health ofcial said just keeping the number stable was unacceptable, noting a dramatic increase in new HIV cases among young gay and bisexual black men. Weve made accomplishments in driving down the rate of new infections, said Dr. Kevin Fenton, the AIDS prevention chief for the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. The charge now is to continue that trajectory and take that 50,000 down further. The annual number of new infections peaked at 130,000 in the mid-1980s, he said. Gay and bisexual men account for the majority of the new cases nearly twothirds in 2009. Heterosexuals accounted for 27 percent and injection drug users represented 9 percent of new infections. The only increase over the four years was in young gay and bisexual men, driven by a 48 percent increase among blacks ages 13 to 29. Fenton said thats one of the areas where prevention efforts need to be focused.
The reality is that we just cannot allow another generation of gay men to be lost to what is essentially a preventable disease, he said. For many years, U.S. health ofcials put the annual number of new HIV infections at 40,000. But three years ago, they said their estimate had been too low. Using new methods and a better blood test, the CDC revised their estimate higher, to roughly 56,300 new infections in 2006. The latest CDC report used the new methods to look at trends over four years, and found that there were about 50,000 new infections each year from 2006-2009. Clorox Co. was reporting quarterly results it characterized as encouraging a 4 percent increase in revenue but a 1 percent drop in net income, both better than analysts expected for the period that ended June 30. Executives declined to tackle the lingering question at the top of investors minds: Carl Icahns takeover bid. The billionaire investor has offered twice since mid-July to buy the company, rst at $76.50 per share and then at $80 per share. The company whose shares fell $1.41, or 2 percent, on Wednesday to close at $68.88 rejected him both times.

Renovations of the Burlingame football eld began last month and are expected to be done in time for the PanthersOct.6 football game.
The beginning of the 2011-12 high school athletic year is a mere two weeks away. For most fall-season teams, it will be the status quo. A handful of programs, however, will christen new facilities, while Burlingame football will have a road-heavy start to its season as its home eld undergoes renovations. Burlingame was one of the rst schools on the Peninsula to install a articial-turf eld back in the summer of 2001. Since then, the eld has deteriorated rapidly. Drainage issues, dead spots, wrinkled carpet and worn-out patches plagued the eld the last few years. Renovation began July 11 and John Philipopoulos, Burlingames athletic director and varsity football coach, was told the Panthers could host their rst home game Oct. 6. Its coming along, Philipopoulos said. I dont have any ofcial updates. All I know is,
Oct. 6, its supposed to be ready to go. The renovations are going to cost nearly as much as the initial installation, $1.6 million. But the district is replacing more than just the carpet. The original construction was standard for the day, but is now considerably substandard, said Liz McManus, deputy superintendent of Business Services for the San Mateo Union High School District. As such, a lot of the money is going toward redoing the elds infrastructure. The original contractor didnt put the drainage system in, McManus said. [The industry] hadnt set the standards. Five years later, [the contractor] said, Lets do this, this and this. This time were doing it right. Philipopoulos said the construction will not put a serious crimp in the football programs preparation for the coming season. All teams are currently in a dead period, with no practices allowed from Aug. 1 to Aug. 14, with Aug. 15 being the rst ofcial day of fall practice. There are other spaces available on cam-

He had a perfect game through 4 1-3 innings before Conor Jackson ended it with a fth-inning double off the left-eld wall that was inches away from being a home run and needed a video review. Furbush matched his longest career outing and allowed one run and two hits with three strikeouts and no walks. It was his second bigleague win, his rst as a starter. Brandon League got the last two outs for his 26th save. Josh Bard had the biggest of the Mariners 14 hits, a 2-run single in the fourth off Gio Gonzalez (9-9), who is 1-4 with a 6.26 ERA in his last ve starts. It was the third series sweep for the Mariners this season, the rst since taking three from San Diego May 20-22. It also was their rst sweep over Oakland since Sept. 29-Oct. 1, 2009. Trailing 7-1, the As rallied with Josh Willinghams 3-run home run off Jeff Gray.

If there was one game that typied the Payes Place 10-12 AAU girls basketball team during their recent trip to Nevada, it would be a seminal contest against a select team out of Henderson, Nev. Down by 10 points with ve minutes left to play, Payes was looking at their second defeat of the AAU West Coast Junior Olympics Championships. It was then that head coach Donn North decided to turn up the heat on defense. Employing a full court press, and behind the energizing play of Mia Woo, Payes stormed all the way back to win the game by two points and earn a spot in the championship game. That was the turning point of the game, North said. We held them to one point the rest of the game and won by two at the end. It was a total team effort.
When we were down 10 points, Mia Woo ignited us by getting a couple of steals and making a couple of layups. Mallory (North) shots, Donn North hit Tatiana (Reese) hit shots, Ilana (Baer) hit shots. It was a group effort. Even in the championship game, everyone started off well. We didnt make many turnovers early and that helped us, he said. Unfortunately, Payes tasted defeat for the second time in the tournament against the host team from Las Vegas in that championship matchup. Still, that loss could not put a damper on what turned out to be a very successful swing of tournament basketball Payes placed rst in Reno at the Jam-On-It Tournament and second
in Las Vegas last week. The Reno tournament went really well, North said, adding that his team played with 10 other teams in the fth-grade bracket. Payes went 5-0 in Reno and captured the championship following a 55-40 victory to cap off an unblemished run. Most of the game ended in blowouts, North said. It should be noted that Payes accomplished this success despite elding one of the youngest teams, composed mostly of 11 year olds and even an 8 year old. The Payes roster is made up of players from Belmont, San Carlos, Redwood City, Menlo Park and Portola Valley. We have a good structure, we keep them loose, stay positive with them, keep them relaxed on the court so they can play well, North said. We practice twice a week (and) we get a lot of basketball in. I think the group we took to Las
Vegas was a good group they all get along, they gelled. The gelling worked. Payes went 3-2 in that tournament, with both losses coming against a super-talented Las Vegas team. North said that in pool play, that same team defeated Payes by more than 30 points. But when they saw them again in the championship game, things were a lot different. In the final we played great defense, North said, At the half we were down 23-20. The superior height and athleticism of the Las Vegas team nally wore our team out late in the game (but) our girls showed a lot of heart. In two of our games, we overcame doubledigit decits late in the second half to win games. Standouts during tournament play included the aforementioned Woo, North, Reese and Baer. They all did lots of different stuff made baskets, D-ed up, made great passes and controlled the
tempo of the game. North has coached at Payes since it opened its basketball program eight years ago. He now coaches three different teams. I think its been really positive, North said, Weve helped a lot of kids in the community. And I see a lot of kids now, theyre in college, doing well, playing basketball or other sports and I think its been good for the whole Peninsula. We started AAU eight years ago, and now there are a lot more people that come through, coach for us, or have started their own programs. I think its been really good. That growth has included a now 23-team strong program. My goal is to develop these kids so they have a chance to go on to play on their high school teams, maybe even college. Lets teach them to be a part of a team and understand the team concept, North said.
In 2000, long time South San Francisco youth baseball contributor Jim Elder had a vision. It involved the idea that all kids, regardless of their abilities, should get a chance play and learn to love the game of baseball. From that idea a now 500-player league has grown. And today, the South San Francisco Youth Baseball Shetland-Pinto-Mustang division is
stronger than ever. At the time it was one league, and it was a 7-to-10-year-old league, said League Coordinator (AKA League Mom) Catherine Burton-Meza. And Mr. Elder left that league and felt that he really needed to start something to get kids interested a little earlier. Now South City youth baseball offers one of the biggest Shetland (or tee-ball) leagues in the county, receiving players from South City, San Bruno, Brisbane, Daly City and San
Francisco. Its a league for 5-6 year olds who are just discovering the game of baseball. From there two other divisions were formed: The Pinto (for 7-8 years) and Mustang (9-10 year olds). The Mustang division is the last step before the kids can enter in the Pony realm of South San Francisco youth baseball they are two separate entities that work together to develop and maintain an interest in the game. In all, it is a league 33-teams strong. Every year we seem to be gaining teams in
the upper division, which is great, but were keeping pretty consistent at the 5-6 level, Burton-Meza said. The rules (including coach pitch or machine pitch) have changed over the years so as to encourage more participation from the players. The whole intent is that each year were getting them ready for the next year, Burton-Meza said. So by the time they get to an 11-12-year-old level, they at least have much more experience and have gradually
received that experience as opposed to all at the same time. Its a unique approach in more than just one way for South City. For example, parents who pay for their child to play ball also have the ability to choose what team their kid gets to play on. We do that at all three levels, but you see it most at the 5-6 level, Burton-Meza said. And we allow that to the ability that we can. Kids that dont request it, we do have a workout,

offseason move to bolster their blue line. The 33-year-old White signed his deal on Wednesday, a day after being waived by the New Jersey Devils. White is the third defenseman added by San Jose this offseason. His signing follows a trade for All-Star Brent Burns and the acquisition of free agent James Vandermeer. White has scored just 20 goals in 743 career games, but he adds another physical player who is strong on the penalty kill. The Sharks ranked 24th in the league on the penalty kill last season.

Former NFL star turned actor Bubba Smith dies
LOS ANGELES Former NFL defensive star Bubba Smith, who found a successful second career as an actor, died Wednesday in Los Angeles at age 66. Los Angeles County coroners spokesman Ed Winter said Smith was found dead at his Baldwin Hills home. Winter said he didnt know the circumstances or cause of death. Police spokesman Richard French added the death does not appear to Bubba Smith be suspicious. The top overall pick in the 1967 draft after a sensational career at Michigan State, Smith spent ve seasons with the Baltimore Colts and two seasons each with Oakland and Houston. He won the 1971 Super Bowl with the Colts. As an actor his most memorable role was playing Moses Hightower, the soft-spoken ofcer in the Police Academy series. He also appeared in such television series as Good Times, Charlies Angels, and Half Nelson, and was a regular in the groundbreaking Miller Lite commercials featuring retired players.

Weve just got to keep pushing forward, but denitely losing him was a tough loss for this team. Congratulations to him. Its a the Bay Area (as far away as Vacaville) participated in the tournament. The South City under-8 Blue team won the championship. Their under-10 Blue, under-10 Red and Under-9 White teams played in the Sutter tournament held in South San Francisco also over Memorial Day. The under-10 Blue came out on top. The tournament teams have continued to do well through the summer. The under-8 Blue, coached by Mike Salgado and Paco Parks, boasted a 26-2 mark and not only won the Bob Munoz tournament, but the Dale Wilson Tournament and Foster City tournament as well. The team has placed second in tournaments in Cambrian and San Carlos. The under-10 Blue team has a record of 165 and in addition to the Sutter tournament also won the Dale Wilson tournament. The under10 Red has a record of 12-6 both teams big signing and we have to move forward. The question now is whether they will be moving forward with Boss. Boss had 35 catches for 531 yards and ve touchdowns last season for the New York Giants. He has 119 catches for 1,600 yards and 18 scores in four seasons. He got his shot as a rookie in 2007 after Jeremy Shockey got injured and helped the Giants win the Super Bowl. Hes a big target. Hes a big guy. But it all comes down to the coachs decision and if they feel like he ts our offense and the things that we do from that standpoint. Hes a guy, hes big, he can run, and hes played in tough games before, so ultimately it will probably come down to how they feel with the guys that we have here and how he ts into our offense. If Boss signs, he would have big shoes to ll. had good showings in the Northern California PONY sectional tournament in Morgan Hill to start off the month of July. The Blue made it to the championship game which secured them a spot in the Northern California PONY Regional tournament last weekend. In the sectional and regional tournaments, the team placed second in their age group. Both teams also played in Twin Creeks last weekend and made it to the playoffs with the Red falling short in the championship game. We try to keep them involved as much as they want to be involved, Burton-Meza said. Our purpose to be prepare the kids (for the higher levels) if thats what they want to do.

Boss caught passes from backup quarterback Jordan LaSecla for about 15 minutes after practice under the watchful eye of coach Hue Jackson and other members of the Raiders coaching staff. Oakland has a big hole at tight end after Miller signed a deal with the Seahawks. Miller had led the Raiders in receiving the past three years but Oakland was unable to keep him in free agency.

we evaluate the kids and put them on a team that we feel theyre going to improve at and to assure that the playing eld is consistent. With over 500 players, the ve-member board, along with its 60-plus coaches, do their best to ensure that kids can learn the game at a level at which theyre most comfortable. Its this attention to the players that has garnered the league recent tournament success. South San Francisco elded ve tournament teams in 2011, with play starting back during Memorial Day weekend. South City hosted the Bob Munoz tournament for 8-and-under teams and, according to Burton-Meza, they received their biggest turnouts 12 teams from across
the New York Mets last Thursday. San Francisco scored its most runs in a home game so far in 2011. Beltran and Pablo Sandoval each hit RBI singles in a four-run third against Jason Marquis (86), who lost his Arizona debut four days after being acquired in a trade with Washington. The Giants scored four more runs in the fth. We had two big innings. Thats great for us, manager Bruce Bochy said. Its been a while since weve had innings like that. ... This game was probably our biggest game to date of the season, with the losing streak. We had to stop the bleeding. Marquis tossed a ve-hit shutout of San Francisco on April 29, but this was Vogelsongs day all the way. The right-hander allowed one run on ve hits, struck out seven and walked three in six innings to lower his NL-best ERA to 2.19. He also owns the lowest home ERA in the majors (1.30) and his run of 10 straight starts at AT&T Park giving up two or fewer runs is the longest such stretch by a Giants starter since Scott Garrelts did it in 12 consecutive outings from June 11, 1986, to July 16, 1989. Vogelsong has been the Giants most reliable starter and hasnt lost since May 26 against Florida. He extended his career high for victories Wednesday with a 108-pitch performance in which he withstood deep counts for much of the afternoon. Not bad for a guy who just keeps improving after showing up at spring training as a non-roster invitee, getting promoted in midApril, then becoming an improbable All-Star at age 33.

what were affectionately dubbed bath tubs, small, primitive pools. Those have been replaced by state-of-the-art facilities. Although the SMUHSD pools were nished up late last school year, this is the rst time it will start a season with a clean slate. Just look at those events held last year as a soft opening. The grand openings happen in a couple weeks. Theyre gorgeous, said McManus of the districts schools pools. If you saw them before and looked at them now, its night and day. Theyre perfect. Bob Greene, Serras water polo and swim coach, has a unique perspective on the new aquatic center at Serra. I went to school there (Serra) in the 80s, and I coached and played there. I learned how to swim there, Greene said. The thing that is really weird, when I was there in the 70s, how it looked then was exactly the same as it was up until two years ago. The construction and renovations took just more than a year. Greene said the work started at Serra at the conclusion of the 2010 school year and has been told the facility will be ready to go for the rst day of practice Aug. 12. Greene said if not for the fact the pool water which went in Monday needs to be conditioned and balanced, the center is ready to go as is. Seating for 275 spectators will be installed Aug. 8. The facility now has 34-foot tall lights, which will only be used for night games. There are dimmer lights installed about 24 feet up the standards, which will supply enough lighting to nish a practice. The pool itself features 17 lanes, 14 of which can be used for competition. The area of the pool used for water polo was made big enough to accommodate college and national games. The Padres will now also serve as a co-host, with Bellarmine, on the Schmidt tournament one of the most prestigious pre-season tournaments in Northern California. Greene also said the school will help co-host the Tru West tournament, which draws the top teams from California. It will also host portions of the West Catholic Athletic League and CCS playoffs. The reason why we decided to host a lot of these (tournaments) is we put a lot of work into this. We want people to see. Plus, weve been traveling around (the last year) with no home. Its just nice to be home.

summer much. (But) were about to feel the impact, now with school starting. What Im telling everyone is, its a shortterm inconvenience for a long-term benet. The eld renovations should be the last athletic upgrades for a while at Burlingame. The Burlingame Aquatic Center is only about 12 years old and the gyms were redone last year. The school has an all-purpose, turf eld in the back of campus and one of the best baseball parks in the district in the city-run Washington Park. Whats left (to renovate)? Philipopoulos asked. We have an amazing pool, two new gyms, practice elds that are only a few years old. Were doing OK. Were fortunate we have the facilities we have. While Burlingame will have to deal with a couple more months of construction dust, Aragon, Capuchino, Hillsdale, Mills and Serra will polish up their new pool facilities and christen them this season. All schools had

While the pitching staff is going through some growing as well as actual, physical pains, the lineup might actually accomplish something if left intact. Center elder Coco Crisp and Josh Willingham who were both rumored to be on the trading block are having decent seasons. Crisp has a career high in steals already this season and he is proving that if he stays healthy which has always been the knock on him he can jump-start an offense at the top of the order. While Hideki Matsui may have the reputation of a being a feared slugger, its Willingham who provides the thump in the
Oakland lineup. Hes hit 15 bombs so far this season and has driven in 58 runs. Chad Pennington is proving to be a solid shortstop, while outelder Ryan Sweeney is quietly putting together a solid season in limited opportunities. The must-keep player for the As is rookie second baseman Jemile Weeks, who has to be in the running for American League Rookie of the Year honors. He is the As most electric newcomer since the Jason Giambi-Miguel Tejada and the Three Aces era of the early 2000s. Weeks is batting close to .300 and has been a lockdown presence at second base. Taken as a whole, it seems the As have some solid, Major League talent on their roster, who, if kept together, might take the As to the next level. Remember, the As were the pick of many national baseball writers to win the AL West this season.
The As just havent gotten their pitching and hitting on the same page, and with all the injuries to the Oakland pitching staff, the playoffs are not in the cards for this season. But if the pitching staff gets healthy for 2012, and the everyday players gain experience with one another for the rest of this year, there is nothing to say the As couldnt contend next year. *** This announcement may be a couple of weeks old, but gured I should give the readers an update. As you might remember, the family made the gut-wrenching decision to put our beloved dog Cosmo down a couple of months ago. Well, a couple weeks ago, we welcomed a new addition to the family: a Lab-mix weve named Jake. He just turned ve months old this week and is the mellowest dog I think I may have ever seen. He loves to cuddle up with anyone willing to sit with him, and is quick to present belly rub opportunities. I started thinking of adopting a new dogs just weeks after Cosmos passing, and after a pow-wow with the family, we decided the time was right now to adopt a new dog. Jake It didnt take us long to identify Jake, who was part of a rescue operation out of the Fresno area, who happened to set up an adoption site in front of PetSmart near my house. The original plan was to go to the shelter, but we saw this little guy and everyone in the family agreed he was the one. Our daughter is really in love with him and has been very helpful in taking care of Jake and she really feels Jake is her dog. While Jake wont replace Cosmo, he does allow us to create new memories with a new family member.

The heat of midsummer is what separates hard-core gardeners from what I call the polka dot glove set. The latter comprises those gardeners who spend as much time getting dressed for the garden as they do actually gardening. They don their color-coordinated gloves, garden shoes, hats and plastic-handled trowels and hesitantly approach their gardens as if they are walking into a surgical post-op room where one false move could spell disaster. The polka dot glove set loves to garden on mild spring days but not so much in the blistering sun. And, in a way, who can blame them? Just ask my teenage son. He has a summer job working in a very large garden with sweeps of perennials, grasses, and island beds of shrubs and very little shade. It is his first real job and, being a teenager, he wanted no advice from Dear Old Dad! After a few eight-hour days weeding and planting in the hot spotlight of el sol, my son the same one who didnt want to wear a hat or bring a jug of ice water was ready to move to Alaska! Gardening during the heat of summer can be grueling, but it neednt be. With a little common sense and some planning, midsummer gardening can be easy on you while giving your garden the attention it continues to need. As my son has figured out, timing in the garden is everything. Any longtime gardener will tell you that the best time to get real work done in the garden is either early morning, before the sun is too high in the sky, or late in the day when it is going down.
Plants, like people, prefer moderate temperatures. If the heat is uncomfortable for you, more often than not your plants are stressed as well. Stressed plants are more prone to disease and insect damage, so reducing environmental stresses will keep your garden healthy and more productive. During hot spells, water early enough during the day so that leaves have a chance to dry before the heat sets in. Fungal diseases are prone to attack and will spread rapidly on wet or damp foliage (think mold in a damp bathroom). If possible, water at the root level rather than spraying the whole plant with water. Not only is this method better for the plant, it is more efficient. Soaker hoses on timers are excellent for large gardens. If you need to water a single specimen such as a newly planted tree, place a hose at the base and let the water trickle out for 15 to 20 minutes. The water will soak into the area around the root zone rather than just run off. I prefer not to use insecticides in my garden, as they kill beneficial insects as well. If you do use them, be sure to apply them in the
The best tip for keeping cool while gardening in the dog days of summer:Work early in the morning or late in the day.
early morning or late in the day. Many insecticides will burn the leaves of plants if applied in hot sun. The one job that is most efficient in the hot sun is weeding. I always try to weed my gardens in late morning, as the sun is getting stronger. If you dont allow your weeds to grow past the seedling stage, scratching the ground with a hand tool or hoe is enough to expose them to the hot withering sun, killing them quickly. When the soil is dry I leave withered weeds to decompose back into the soil. Avoid weeding when your soil is wet. Weeds are adept at re-rooting, and weeding after a rain often means having to weed twice if you dont discard all the pulled plants. Gardening during the heat of summer neednt be torture unless you are wearing polka dot gardening gloves with a matching hat. In which case you deserve to suffer.

Home builders across the country say they are getting an increasing number of requests for mother-in-law suites, granny ats or accessory dwellings.
Betsy McCann and her husband, Jim Forbes, often worried that his mother was growing isolated in her Los Angelesarea home. At 90, Lois Brokus had stopped driving and was sometimes afraid to be alone in her house. Jane and William Merrill also decided that they didnt want his mother living on her own any more. Then 81, Jane Merrill, who shares her daughter-in-laws name, was still active but in need of companionship. Both families considered nursing homes, assisted living and retirement communities. In the end, they came to the same conclusion: Their homes were the best place for their mothers. But they needed more home. So McCann and Forbes added a 400square-foot bedroom and bathroom to their Escondido, Calif., home; the Merrills converted a two-car garage at their 8-acre spread in Carmel, a suburb of Indianapolis. Now, both older women live with their adult children, with a large degree of independence and privacy. Although it isnt for everyone, it is a choice many families are making. Home builders across the country say they are
getting an increasing number of requests for such additions, known as mother-inlaw suites, granny ats or accessory dwellings. According to the National Association of Home Builders, 62 percent of builders surveyed were working on a home modication related to aging in 2010. About one in ve builders added an entry-level bedroom. About 3.5 million American households last year included adult children and their parents a number expected to rise as the country ages and baby boomers move into retirement, said Nancy Thompson, an AARP spokesperson. To accommodate the growing demand, AARP teamed up with the home builders association to create a designation for Certified Aging in Place Specialists, who are trained in designing and modifying buildings for the elderly. About 3,000 builders, contractors, remodelers and architects have been certied. One is Todd Jackson, CEO of San Diegos Jackson Design and Remodeling, which handled the room addition at McCanns home. Theres both a physical component and a sensitivity side to these projects. The family needs to take that into to college, 80 percent of them to fouryear universities, he said. We are building 21st century facilities to match a 21st century curriculum, Lund said. The rst oor of the new building will be dedicated to music and the arts with a new recording studio, band rehearsal space and classroom space for ne arts and drama. The school will also offer sculpture and ceramics this fall for the rst time. The center will also feature new facilities for yearbook, newspaper and lms and a new broadcasting studio. The pool at the Aquatics Center was just lled Tuesday with about 550,000 gallons of water. The water is still green now as its being ltered and should be crystal-clear blue by the opening of school, Lund said. The center has new team lockers and bathrooms, spectator bleachers and the ability to host home water polo games or larger tournaments. The new pool is 125 feet by 75 feet. The pool will host more than swimming events, however, it will also double as an emergency reservoir for the city in
account, said Jackson, who noted that aging parents may be reluctant to move into their childrens homes, and may worry about losing their independence. The transition will go over a lot better if you bring the parent into the conversation, said Jackson. Ask them: What do you need? What color do you want? Thats what McCann and her husband did when they decided to build an addition in 2008. Brocas, now 93, was part of the planning. We didnt want her to feel like a guest intruding on our house, said McCann. She kept telling all her friends about how she was involved in the design process, and that the paint colors were her choice. Brokus now proudly calls the addition, which includes a bedroom, wet bar and wheelchair-accessible doorways and bathroom, her apartment, said McCann. Every month, she writes a rent check covering the cost of utilities an act that adds to her sense of independence. The arrangement has given the family more time together and greater peace of mind, and may have averted a tragedy in July when Brokus suffered a heart attack. Had she been alone, McCann said, she might not have called 911. As it was, she just had to walk a few feet for help. case of major catastrophe. Officials with the San Mateo Fire Department approached the school about using its pool and it agreed, said Deputy Fire Marshal Bill Eucnher. There are not many pools that hold that capacity of water, Eucnher said. The department has a vehicle that holds about a mile of hose and the pool can service the whole neighborhood, he said. The plumbing is already in place, he said. We are always looking for water for when the next big earthquake hits, which we know is coming, Eucnher said. They really didnt have to do it but they were receptive to the idea. It is nice to have a standing reservoir right in the middle of town. Serra, a private Catholic school for boys, will share its Aquatics Center with girls teams from both Notre Dame High School Belmont and Mercy High School in Burlingame.

When landscaper Darien Ball began building a living wall to highlight the Tiffany stained-glass lamp exhibit at the Biltmore Estate this summer, he reached for some drafting paper rst, then garden tools. Ball sketched a simple schematic and then brought it to life with colorful foliage. The 6-by-24-foot oral tapestry panels vertical gardens were crafted using a plantby-the-numbers system similar to the old paint-by-number kits for children. We were looking to nd the right shading and details to match the Tiffany glasswork, Ball said by phone from the 8,000-acre private estate in Asheville, N.C. We wanted some themes that would stand out on their own. The color palettes on the schematic were numbered to distinguish plant varieties. Variegated liriope, a groundcover, was No. 1, Electric Lime coleus, or painted nettle plants, No. 2, and so on. The colors match those of butteries, tree branches and dragonies all iconic subjects on the Tiffany lamps, windows, vases and bowls created for wealthy patrons in the late 19th century. It was difcult to nd the right shading and plant details to match the Tiffany patterns, but using darker hues worked, Ball said. We also had to remember that the plants would grow, so we left room for expansion. Light levels and water requirements are the two most important living-wall design elements, he said. Youve got to think maintenance before you get too carried away with design, he said. Plants with colorful foliage are easier to work with than owering plants that need deadheading. The Biltmores oral tapestry is just one living-wall variation. Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pa., has designed another. It
is said to be Americas largest living wall, with 47,000 plants from 25 different woodland plant species. Most are ferns. No geometric shapes, said Lorrie Baird, a senior gardener who cares for Longwoods living wall. We allow them to do what they would in a natural environment. Plants that need more light went on top, she said, and those requiring less light were placed toward the bottom. Watering is done automatically, Baird said. We start at the top and it ows down to the next panel and then down to the next. The lower panels get the runoff. Gardeners can create their own living walls at home, she said. Kits with planters, water barriers, pumps and soaker hoses are available via the Internet. A developing trend is to have vertical herb gardens, Baird said. A lot of people are nding space for them on their kitchen walls. Formal gardens like those at Longwood and the Biltmore are meant to educate as well as decorate. One service we provide is making people aware that living walls exist and that they can do them on their own, said Patricia Evans, Longwood spokeswoman. Douglas and Diane Corkhill, Asheville residents who visit the Biltmore frequently, subscribe to that. Many of the things weve done around our house have been inspired by things weve seen at the Biltmore, Douglas said. The Corkhills would like to try the living wall but havent found the time yet. We were able to talk with the crew about it while they were putting it together, Douglas said. We took a friend back later and saw the nished product. Really terric.

everything, and well be posting the answers to frequently asked questions on the citys website, Mayor Terry Nagel wrote in an email. Until a meeting can occur, residents have banded together to research the topic and submit questions and concerns to the companies and the city. I want to get the issue out there, have a good dialog and nd a solution that most people are happy with, said Bill Sexton, owner of a Burlingame house in front of which one pole would be placed. Sexton is among residents who were notied due to their proximity to the proposals. Hes frustrated he has no control over something that could affect his homes value as the proposed pole impedes the view. For the businesses, the installations are needed to meet the ever-growing need for more cell capacity. Its not just about dropped calls. Smart phones have increased the demand for wireless requirements. A wireless network is like a freeway, said Patti Ringo, director of municipal relations for the Western Region for ExteNet Systems. Before 9 a.m. its open. But come 5, you can only t so many cars. Its the same with wireless. With more people relying on cellphones to access online content like video, Facebook or even emails, Ringo said the need has increased. Rod De La Rosa, T-Mobile senior external affairs manager, agreed. People expect their phones to work in their boardroom and in their living

Inexpensive ways to add these nutrients to a persons diet include potatoes and beans for potassium and dietary ber. But the study found introducing more potassium in a diet is likely to add $380 per year to the average consumers food costs, said lead researcher Pablo Monsivais, an assistant professor in the Department of Epidemiology and the School of Public Health at the University of Washington. We know more than ever about the science of nutrition, and yet we have not yet been able to move the needle on healthful eating, he said. The government should provide help for meeting the nutritional guidelines in an affordable way. He criticized some of the marketing for a healthy diet for example, the image of a plate of salmon, leafy greens and maybe some rice pilaf and said a meal like that is not affordable for many Americans. Food-assistance programs are helping people make healthier choices by providing coupons to buy fruit and vegetables, Monsivais said, but some also put stumbling blocks in front of the poor. He mentioned, as an example, a Washington state policy making it dif-
Seligman said. Recent estimates show 49 million Americans make food decisions based on cost, she added. Right now, a huge chunk of America just isnt able to adhere to these guidelines, she said. But Monsivais may have oversimplied the problem, according to another professor who does research in this area. Parke Wilde, associate professor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, said its not expensive to get all the nutrients a body needs to meet the federal guidelines. What is expensive, in Wildes opinion, are the choices Americans make while getting those nutrients. He said diets get more and more expensive depending on how many rules a person applies to himself, such as eating organic or seeking local sources for food or eating vegetables out of season. The longer your list gets, the more expensive your list will be, he said. Seligman said her list can get longer than Wildes, but not everything is a choice. Adding to the cost of buying healthful food could be how far away from home a person needs to travel to get to a grocery store that sells a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables. The government also affects food prices through the subsidies offered to farmers growing certain crops, she added. on all six districts funded through voterapproved bond money. Installing solar panels piqued the interest of district ofcials since it could use voter-approved bond money to lower the $1.1 million annual electricity bill. Aside from this, the on-campus solar setup allowed for the development of curriculum based on the green technology. Aside from curbing rising electric costs, the district also planned to bank on rebates available over the rst ve years the panels are working, totaling up to $10 million in savings.

ing ways to move forward. The toughest part is no one wants to compromise when it comes to safety and no one wants to argue when it comes to safety. But were not talking about some obscure method of doing this, said Lee. A proposal to use the switch was submitted in October, Lee said. As proposed, the switch is well tested and used throughout the Bay Area at various sites, he said. Its not the one traditionally used by PG&E since the district sites

The recognition, financially, socially and careerwise, that all your hard work deserves is likely to be forthcoming in the next year. However, it might not be awarded you in the manner you are anticipating.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Constructive results are pos-
sible with whatever it is youre doing, but only as long as you perform in accordance with your highest standards. Dont let a lazy associate convince you otherwise. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Several significant objectives can be accomplished, provided youre not saddled with a co-worker who has little interest
in doing a bit of work. Be prepared to do all of the heavy lifting yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Even though, upon reflection, you can see how you could do things better than what you promised, stick to the terms of your initial commitment. It would be far worse to get in over your head at the last second. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Youll get much more than a paycheck if you render your best effort toward your job. Your self-esteem and self-worth will be greatly enhanced in ways hard to come by. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Bring into play all of your instincts, your memory and your logic if you find yourself involved in a difficult endeavor. Collectively, they can help you accomplish the impossible.
of the gumption youve got to accomplish a critical assignment, but what you will get out of it personally will be worth it -- and that isnt likely to mean money. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Dont complain from the sidelines about something youre involved with that is being mishandled. Roll up your sleeves and shape things up yourself, from top to bottom if need be. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If youve accumulated a bit of a surplus lately, dont blow it all on having a good time. At least use some of it on loved ones who would not only appreciate but also deserve a little special treatment. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Not everybody is as perceptive as you tend to be, so if you believe you
can better the ideas of what others have to offer, speak up and let your thoughts be known. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Instead of always expecting more from others, make it your turn to devise some ways to repay them for all theyve done for you in the past. Theyll be happy, and youll feel good about yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- When attempting to complete a complicated task, dont pretend to know things you really dont. Seek out the information you need. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Although your intuitive insights might be a bit more accurate than usual, it will still be up to you to find a way to execute them as cleverly as you envision them.
