WHITMAN PROTEST
Year later, the
pain remains
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Even after a year, Jared Gilbert’s
family can remember his smile, his
laugh. A favorite photo in a tux. The
way he treasured his loved ones.
A year after Gilbert died, his fam-
ily still sobs at the mention of his
name and wonder why.
“There is nothing that can fill the
hole in my heart. Nothing,” said
Gilbert’s mother, Daphne Holtz.
Charges filed earlier this year
against the young driver at the
wheel of the car which flipped near
Oyster Point on Aug. 4, killing
Gilbert and his friend, will never

District mulling unique City seeks to save story time

ideas to generate funds San Bruno tries to lessen budget impact on library
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Charging for summer school and building
then selling single-family homes are among
the ideas the South San Francisco Unified
School District Board of Trustees hopes to
research to raise revenue.
Recent budget years have seen the decline
in revenue, meaning millions in cuts for the
district. As a result, a variety of revenue-gen-
erating and cost-saving ideas were put before
the board last night for discussion. Cultivating
partnerships with cities and other schools
while considering corporate sponsorships and
researching possibilities of building houses on
the former Foxridge site generated much
interest from the board.
Trustee Maurice Goodman wanted the
items brought back with possible timelines for
implementation. In the short-term, he asked
for a focus on things like hiring a grant writer
who gets paid when such funds are secured,
and partnering with the San Mateo County
Community College District for summer

Keeping the library open Fridays and main-
taining community activities like story time
could continue in San Bruno if $22,000 is not
cut as originally planned.
On Tuesday, the San Bruno City Council
approved a $30.3 million budget for the
recently-started fiscal year. Among the $1.85
million in reductions was $70,000 in library
services. The council requested staff come up
with a plan to cut $48,000 instead, saving
$22,000 for library services. A proposal to
make that work should go before the council
Tuesday, July 27.
“There are a lot of people who use the
library for Internet access, that’s it,” said
Councilwoman Irene O’Connell. “It’s free.
They can access their e-mail. ... That’s their
only access.”
Taking away one day of access seemed like
a larger harm to the community than the ben-
efit of saving $22,000, she said.
Mayor Jim Ruane agreed.

Jail,probation for college shooting
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Skyline College student involved in a
shooting on the San Bruno campus that
injured his friend was sentenced yesterday to
a year in jail and probation for possessing the
loaded weapon.
Germaine Barnard Benjamin, 19, also
pleaded no contest in May to a gang enhance-
ment. On Thursday, Judge Susan Etezadi
imposed a year in jail, the amount indicated
when Benjamin changed his plea, followed by
three years supervised probation and standard
court fees and fines.
Benjamin brought the handgun to the com-
munity college Sept. 2 and it ended up in the
middle of a confrontation between two groups
of gangmembers in the campus parking lot.

attempted carjackings
A man was arrested early yesterday morn-
ing after attempting to carjack a Maserati and
then a motorcycle in the area of Woodside and
Middlefield roads before 8 a.m. yesterday,
according to Redwood City police.
Christopher Bose, 37, was booked into
county jail for two counts of attempted car-
jacking and hit and run, according to police.
Bose pulled up to the driver of the Maserati
at a red light, exited his car and demanded the
victim get out of the car. The victim ignored
the suspect’s demand and drove away but
Bose followed the car and deliberately collid-
ed with the Maserati, according to police.
Bose then lost control of his own vehicle and
crashed into a telephone pole. Bose exited his
car and ran to the intersection of Bay Road
and Charter Street and then knocked over a
motorcyclist. Bose attempted to take the
motorcycle but its driver fought back, accord-
ing to police.
Two plainclothes Redwood City police
detectives observed the fight and apprehended
Bose as he tried to flee the scene, according to
police.

Redwood City company gets CMP contract

expect at a conference on the health
dangers of sitting, most of the seats
were empty.
It was well attended, but the scien-
tists and health experts who did gath-
er Thursday at Stanford University
were encouraged to get up from their
chairs, stretch their legs, pace the
room, even stand during discussions
ranging from the risks of inactivity to
technological solutions for reducing
time on one’s behind.

“We have ambitious goals to
improve our service and deliver value
for customers through our smart grid
network,” said Sara Burns, CMP
president and chief executive officer.
Trilliant said it will provide soft-
ware to manage the smart grid net-
work. It’s partnering with General
Electric and Landis+Gyr to provide
the meters and with IBM to provide
networking software, the company
said. Workers will begin installing the
meters this fall, officials said.
Smart meters are on the front line
of plans for an advanced power grid
because they can communicate with
utilities and respond to constantly
changing energy prices.

Stanford and an organizer of the two-

Friedlander opened the event by
telling participants that they could
monitor their sit-time on a timer dis-
played on a big screen behind the
lectern. Alternative seating, including
exercise balls, was also available. A
campus walking tour would end the
day.

Energy has awarded $230 million in
federal stimulus funding — matched

in New England.
For CMP, smart meters will bring
an immediate cost savings by elimi-
nating the need for meter readers,
who drive 2 million miles a year to
check meters, said CMP spokesman
John Carroll. The system also could
speed CMP’s storm response and
eliminate the need for a site visit

said.

by the International Brotherhood

Although much of the research into
the health risks is preliminary, several
studies suggest that people who

Nurses rally outside Whitman’s home
By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHERTON — Hundreds of union-
ized nurses wearing scrubs held a rau-
cous rally Thursday outside the Silicon
Valley home of GOP gubernatorial can-
didate Meg Whitman to protest her pro-
posals for the state, which they say will
hurt working people.
Dozens of police officers descended
on the leafy streets surrounding
Whitman’s two-story colonial home in
Atherton. An estimated 1,100 protesters
chanted “We’re going to beat back the
Whitman attack” as an airplane paid for
by the nurses union circled overhead,
trailing a banner that read, “Nurses say
no to Whitman.”
The colorful display was part of an
escalating feud between Whitman and
California Nurses Association, the
85,000-member union that has trailed
the former eBay CEO at her campaign
events with an actress dressed as “Queen
Meg.” The union says Whitman, a bil-
lionaire who has never before run for
public office, is trying to buy the gover-
nor’s race by spending tens of millions
of dollars from her personal fortune.
The “Queen Meg” character made an
appearance Thursday, standing in front
of Whitman’s white picket fence sur-
rounded by two tuxedo-wearing body-
guards with sashes identifying them as
“Goldman” and “Sachs.” It was a refer-
ence to Whitman’s time serving on the
Goldman board, during which she was
paid $475,000, and criticism that she
benefited from a questionable practice in
which executives whose companies did
business with Goldman were given pref-
erential access to stocks.
“Queen Meg” acted out a scene in
which she pushed a woman dressed as
California to the ground, saying she

play on a recent report that Whitman
agreed to a confidential settlement while
she was chief executive of eBay after she
instigated an altercation with an employ-
ee.
Whitman also has proposed eliminat-
ed 40,000 state government jobs.
Jen Lendl, a 38-year-old nurse at
Kaiser-Oakland, said Whitman’s pro-
posals would roll back benefits and pen-
sions for public employees, who she
described as hardworking.
“She’s threatening the rights of nurses,
patients, also attacking the teachers and
firefighters. These are good people,” she
said.

Afterward, she told reporters that the
rally outside her home was a distraction
and that she would remain focused on
one of her top priorities — developing
ways to create private-sector jobs in
California.
“Everywhere I travel, and you could
see it here today, people are very worried
about jobs,” she said. “The thing on peo-
ple’s minds is who has the best chance of
fixing the job climate in California?”
Her campaign spokeswoman, Sarah
Pompei, said Whitman is making an
effort to describe her positions directly
to nurses. Whitman has mailed letters
and fliers to nurses’ homes, urging them
not to believe their Democratically
aligned union leaders. She says she sup-

law that requires one nurse for every five

their costly mistakes.

Around the state
U.S.ruling could spark
wave of CentAm asylum claims
GUATEMALA CITY — A U.S. federal court ruling this
week could unleash a wave of political asylum claims from
applicants who say being female and from Central America is
reason enough to fear for their lives.
The case itself concerns a technicality in an application by a
Guatemalan woman, but activists say hundreds of thousands of
women from throughout the region could use it to argue the
United States should let them settle in El Norte.
In Monday’s ruling, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
San Francisco ordered immigration judges to reconsider
whether Guatemalan women constitute a “particular social
group” that may be persecuted. Courts have granted such status
to women who fear genital mutilation and victims of domestic
abuse, but two lower courts had said Guatemalan women was
too broad a category.
Lawyers for Lesly Yajayra Perdomo — a Medicaid account
executive for a health care company in Reno, Nevada — argued
that a high murder rate for women in her native Guatemala
means that deporting her would constitute “a death sentence.”
Calif.may dump ‘state rock’that contains asbestos
SACRAMENTO — In 1965, California lawmakers named
serpentine the state rock because it symbolized the Gold Rush
years and contained a mineral being put to myriad industrial
uses.
Nearly half a century later, attitudes toward that mineral —
asbestos — have changed, and one state lawmaker wants ser-
pentine stripped of its status.
Health authorities say asbestos, which is no longer mined in
the U.S., can cause an incurable cancer called mesothelioma as
well as other diseases when its fibers are inhaled.
“This is a question of health and public awareness,” said
Democratic state Sen. Gloria Romero of Los Angeles, who pro-
posed the bill. “We know that California has the highest rates of
mesothelioma deaths in the nation and we don’t think it’s appro-
priate to be celebrating as the state rock something which con-
tains asbestos.”
$5M approved to design
Golden Gate suicide barrier
SAN FRANCISCO — Plans to build a suicide barrier on the
Golden Gate Bridge are moving ahead.
A committee of the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission, signed off on $5 million in federal funding on
Wednesday to design the barrier. The full commission is expect-
ed to give its approval later in the month.
Golden Gate Bridge officials voted overwhelmingly two years
ago in favor of hanging a stainless steel net from the sides of the
world-famous span in an effort to stop people from jumping to
their deaths.
The barrier would cost $45 million. Bridge officials are seek-
ing federal, state and private funding for the project.
Fresh Express recalling some of its bagged lettuce
SALINAS — Some of the bagged lettuce produced by
Salinas-based Fresh Express is being recalled because of con-
cerns of possible E. coli contamination.
The company and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration say
the voluntary recall involves Fresh Express Romaine salads with
expired “use-by” dates of July 8 - 12 and an “S” in the Product
Code.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
• U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San
Mateo, introduced the Protecting
Homeowners’ Credit History Act
yesterday to shield homeowner credit
ratings from adverse reports after the
homeowner has a mortgage modified
by a lender. Currently, an on-time
modified loan payment made by a homeowner can be treated
as delinquent or incomplete by the very bank or servicer that
approved the modification. The Protecting Homeowners’
Credit History Act would abolish the practice by preventing
banks and servicers from reporting on-time modified loan
payments as delinquent and by prohibiting a credit reporting
bureau from including such adverse information in a person’s
credit report.
CITY GOVERNMENT
• The Foster City Council will consider an ordinance that
would allow one additional non-illuminated wall sign on

• On Monday, the Burlingame City Council take the first
step in creating a business improvement district around
Burlingame Avenue. If approved, a public hearing will be
held Aug. 16. On Sept. 17, the council will hold a second
public hearing to receive comments and written protests to
determine if a majority of businesses oppose the proposal. If
a majority favor the proposal, the council can then consider
approving the assessments.
Burlingame Avenue business owners are proposing a
tiered-assessment to generate a $99,000 budget to be used on
improving and promoting the area.
Under the proposal, businesses will all have a flat fee of
$125 for businesses on the ground level of Burlingame
Avenue and $100 for all other businesses within the district.
A square footage fee will be added to businesses in two of
the three zones. Businesses on the ground floor on
Burlingame Avenue would pay a square footage fee of $0 for
businesses under 500 square feet to $500 for businesses over
5,500 square feet. Businesses on the ground floor at any other
location within the district would pay a square footage fee of
$0 for businesses under 500 square feet to $400 for business-
es over 5,500 square feet.
Businesses not on the ground floor will only pay the $100
fee.

Immigration law hearing ends with no ruling

Wall Street crackdown,consumer guards,are passed By Jim Kuhnhenn related investments.

WASHINGTON — Congress on Thursday
passed the stiffest restrictions on banks and
Wall Street since the Great Depression, clamp-

consumer protections to prevent a repeat of the
2008 meltdown that knocked the economy to
its knees.
A year in the making and 22 months after
the collapse of Lehman Brothers triggered a
worldwide panic in credit and other markets,
the bill cleared its final hurdle with a 60-39
Senate vote. It now goes to the White House
for President Barack Obama’s signature,
expected as early as Wednesday.
The law will give the government new pow-

Obama said.
“Unless your business model depends on
cutting corners or bilking your customers, you
have nothing to fear.”
Republicans said the bill is a vast federal
overreach that will drive financial-sector jobs
overseas.

Eureka! I have found stupidity!

t’s been more than three
weeks since the state
Legislature missed its budget
deadline costing California and its
residents more than $50 million a
day. And now, a debate is raging in
the capitol about, as the New York
Times so aptly phrased it, defrock-
ing the state rock. For those of you
who weren’t paying attention that
day in grade school, the state rock
is serpentine and it is found in
abundance in the Sierra Nevada
foothills. It’s green and blue and
shiny and may have traces of
asbestos in it as some rocks are
prone to do. In response, state Sen.
Gloria Romero, D-Los Angeles,
conjured up legislation that would
knock the rock off its throne as the
state’s representative in the mineral
world and leave the valley quail,
the grizzly bear and the poppy on
their own.
Not every state has an official
rock, in fact, California was the
first state to make such a connota-
tion in 1965. But Romero’s plan
would leave the state without a
lithologic emblem which was so
named because it symbolized the
state’s Gold Rush years and was
put to many uses. Now, it mainly
sits on the sides of mountains.

Assistance for seniors
Editor,
Thanks for your compassionate
report on Joe Sanchez’s complaint
to the San Mateo City Council
regarding the impending sewer rate
increase (“Stink raised over sewer
rates” in the July 6 edition of the
Daily Journal). I was present the
evening Mr. Sanchez made his elo-
quent plea to the council. There are
many senior citizens in San Mateo
who are struggling to get by on a
retirement income that has not kept
pace with the cost of living.
Sometimes they are not aware of
services and benefits that can pro-
vide immediate help. Sometimes
their pride keeps them from asking
where they can find the needed
relief or assistance. Aging adults
deserve attention and encourage-
ment. As relatives, neighbors,
friends or as their government, we
all owe it to these good people to
help them find ways to ease their
burdens. Our city staff promptly
contacted Mr. Sanchez and provid-
ed some current information regard-
ing his issues. That follow-up is to
be commended.

Public is right to challenge
red-light cameras
Editor,
Outraged citizens are revolting
against being tried and convicted by
red-light cameras. Now cities rely-
ing on these automated money-pro-
ducing machines are themselves
facing an unexpected red light, an
outraged citizenry.
The cities’ mantra is, “these cam-
eras are for safety and not to make
money.” Would you expect them to
say otherwise? An average $450
fine per ticket multiplied by a
growing number of cameras helps
make up their chronic budget short-
fall . For the hapless motorist the
picture is not so rosy. In addition to

fibers are inhaled, but I can’t imag-
ine why or how someone would go
about inhaling enough ground-up
serpentine dust to cause harm —
aside from, of course, the obvious
oddity of deciding somehow to
embark on such a venture. Would
anyone? And is there any proof that
knocking serpentine off its pedestal
would cause its popularity to drop
and prompt the populace to some-
how avoid it? Is there a point to
this debate whatsoever? No. No.
And no.
I have an idea for Romero. Why
don’t you step down from your
Senate seat and conduct an experi-
ment in which you break up piles
of serpentine with a sledgehammer
every day for 10 years without a
dust mask, then test yourself to see
if you are OK. Then we can know
once and for all if there is any
potential for harm in such a task
and if there is any worth in such a
discussion. Or you could simply
snap out of your serpentine stupor
and get to work on the budget.

cer appearing in court, he can be

You cannot cross-examine a cam-

Open letter from a taxpayer
Editor,
If it is going to cost BART $4 bil-
lion to build an 11-mile extension
to Livermore, how can $43 billion
be considered a realistic cost esti-
mate for the 500-mile high-speed
rail system? The BART extension
from Dublin to Livermore is being
made to an existing system with
known specifications. The high-
speed rail plan doesn’t specify any-
thing. Please stop this boondoggle
project. The bankrupt state of
California with the worst schools in
the country should not pour any
more money into the black hole of
debt that is high-speed rail.

Enough with the taxes
Editor,
While reading the July 6, 2010
issue of your paper, I felt moved to
comment on the article regarding
taxes (“County tax — a hard sell”).
It seems most of the San Mateo
elected officials never saw a tax
they didn’t adore. Every time I turn
around it’s a tax for this or a fee for
OPINION
In the midst of this mind-numb-
ingly exasperating debate about the
state rock, state health officials
have decided to descend on the
state fair to shake down vendors
who may be cooking fair fare in
trans fat. For those of you nursing
hangovers Jan. 1 or otherwise too
busy to notice — strict new rules
on trans fat went into effect at the
beginning of the year. Seems the
out-of-state vendors at the state fair
may also not have been privy to the
new rules and went about their
business of dropping battered up
Twinkies and other delights into oil
that does not meet the new stan-
dards. And lo and behold, that’s
when state health officials decided
to strike fear and loathing into the
hearts of the purveyors of fried
foods to make sure it was healthy.
Since when did anyone who
decides to eat a deep-fried Twinkie
or patched together mound of
M&Ms give a flying fig that the oil
is was cooked in is healthier?
So here we are on day 23 of the
that. I don’t care what name they
use as it all boils down to more
money being robbed from those
who can least afford it. I suggest
they get rid of the myriad of com-
misions and commitees and study
economics, not government voodoo
economics, but true economics. I
have never seen such a bunch of
incompetent clowns before.
Politicians are supposed to be
public servants, but as a whole, it
appears they are more public ser-
vicers. Everytime they get together,
the public gets serviced whether we
want to or not.

‘Public transportation needs’
Editor,
I am in firm support of
City/County Association of
Government’s proposal to place the
ballot measure adding a $10 tariff
to drivers licenses (“Vehicle fee on
November ballot” in the July 10
edition of the Daily Journal). I
would like to see a full 50 percent
of this user fee dedicated entirely to
public mass transportation opera-
tions budgets because this stepchild
of transit funding is on the brink of
collapse. While we righteously give
lip-service to sustainability, we con-
tinue to expand our freeways to
accommodate more vehicular traf-
fic, only to discourage any behav-
ioral change that might occur if we
put our money toward building and
operating convenient and reliable
mass transit. If bus and train service
is allowed to flounder and collapse,
our county will suffer not only job
loss for drivers, engineers and con-
ductors, but also for those thou-
sands who do not own cars and rely
on public transit to get them to
work. Those riders who do own
cars will be forced to return our
ever-clogged roadways.
Car operation is not an entitle-
ment nor a right, but is a privilege

Last-hour turnaround
By Stephen Bernard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
S&P 500 1,096.48 +1.31 Gold 1,208.10
NEW YORK — Investors gave the
stock market a big last-hour turnaround
on just the anticipation of Goldman
Sachs settling the government’s civil
fraud charges.
As word spread that the Securities and
Exchange Commission had scheduled a
late-afternoon announcement, investors
began buying on the belief that the gov-
ernment and Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
had settled the charges that grew out of
the sale of securities based on risky
mortgages.
The $550 million settlement was
announced less than an hour after trad-
ing ended. Goldman agreed to pay fines
of $300 million, the largest fine against
a financial company in SEC history, and
$250 million to compensate investors
who lost money on the securities. The
deal also requires Goldman to review
how it sells complex financial mortgage
investments.
The settlement lifts uncertainty that
has hovered around Goldman since the
charges were announced April 16.
Expectations of a deal were enough to
make traders temporarily set aside con-
cerns about the economy. A series of
Wall Street
disappointing economic reports had sent
the Dow Jones industrial average down
nearly 100 points in late trading. The
Dow scrambled back to a loss of just 7
by the close. Broader indexes were nar-
rowly mixed.
Goldman was trading at about $140 a
share when word of the pending
announcement came. The stock then
soared to close at $145.22, up $6.16,
and shot up to $153.45 in after-hours
trading.
The company’s stock has been pound-
ed by the SEC case. It closed at $183.81
on April 15, the day before the charges,
and plunged 12.6 percent the day they
were announced. By the time it reached
its closing low of $131.08 on July 2, the
stock had fallen nearly 29 percent.
Investors viewed Goldman’s settle-
ment as a buying opportunity for a stock
that has been hammered since the SEC
filed charges.
“The SEC case is now behind
Goldman as far as investors are con-
cerned,” said independent market
analyst Edward Yardeni said, adding
that the manageable size of the set-
tlement added to the demand for the
company’s shares.
“This fine is a bargain for Goldman,”
Yardeni said.
Goldman’s problems have been a pall
on other financial companies and in turn,
the overall market. So stocks overall
benefited Thursday from news of a deal.
A little more uncertainty was lifted
from the market late in the day, when
the Senate passed and sent to President
Barack Obama the financial regulation
bill. However, because regulations that
will implement the bill’s provisions
have yet to be written, traders were still
wary. Analysts said that likely con-
tributed to the market’s dip right before
word of an SEC announcement.
Bill Strazzullo, partner and chief mar-
ket strategist for Bell Curve Trading in
Boston, noted that JPMorgan Chase &
Co. CEO Jamie Dimon earlier in the day
said it wasn’t possible to estimate the
impact of the bill on his company’s
profits.
“Maybe the reality of it is finally upon
us,” Strazzullo said.
The Dow fell 7.41, or 0.07 percent, to
10,359.31. The Standard & Poor’s 500
index rose 1.31, or 0.1 percent, to
1,096.48, while the Nasdaq composite
index fell 0.76, or 0.03 percent, to
2,249.08.

Google’s 2Q earnings rise,but miss target

By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Google Inc.’s
second-quarter earnings missed analysts’
target as higher expenses and the fallout
from the European debt crisis dragged
down the Internet search leader.
The letdown announced Thursday
stemmed from Google’s expanding payroll
and a run-up in the U.S. dollar that has been
driven by fears that the euro will crumble if
governments in Greece, Spain, Portugal
and Italy default on their perilously high
debts. The worries hurt Google because
about one-third of the company’s revenue
comes from Europe, and customer pay-
ments made with the euro translated into
fewer dollars than a year ago. Even so, the
currency squeeze wasn’t as severe as some
analysts anticipated.
Meanwhile, Google is spending more to
maintain its commanding lead in Internet
search while it also tries to diversify by
Google 2Q worries investors
THE BOTTOM LINE: Both Google’s
second-quarter net income and
revenue increased by 24 percent from
the same time last year. The earnings
totaled $1.84 billion,or $5.71 per share,
while revenue hit $6.82 billion.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH: The earnings
missed analyst forecasts, something
developing products in other promising
niches such as online video and mobile
devices. To help achieve its goals, the
company added nearly 1,200 employees
in the second quarter to end June with
more than 21,800 workers.
Despite the rising expenses, Google’s
net income rose at a fast clip as second-
quarter revenue came in slightly above
analysts’ forecasts. But the earnings
growth wasn’t quite as robust as analysts
had hoped, a factor that seemed to ampli-
that rarely happens at Google.
THE ISSUES: Google’s expenses
jumped as the company brought in
another 1,200 workers and invested in
more technology.A stronger U.S.dollar
also translated into less money coming
in from Europe, one of the company’s
biggest markets.
fy investor concerns already weighing on
Google’s stock price.
Google shares fell $19.56, or nearly 4
percent, in extended trading Thursday
after the release of results. Earlier, the
company finished the regular session at
$494.02, up $2.68.
Although Google remains the Internet’s
most profitable company, investors have
been fretting about signs of decelerating
growth amid stiffer competition from

Apple to speak on iPhone 4 troubles

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Apple Inc. will hold a press
conference on Friday to discuss the latest
iPhone model amid complaints about its
antenna and Consumer Reports magazine’s
refusal to endorse it until the problems get
fixed.
Apple would not provide details on the
nature of the event at the company’s head-
quarters in Cupertino, Calif., other than to say
it will involve the iPhone 4.
On Monday, Consumer Reports said careful
testing has confirmed user reports that holding
the phone over a particular spot drastically
reduces the signal strength it receives.
Covering the spot with duct tape or a case
alleviates the problem.
Apple hasn’t commented on Consumer
Reports’ finding yet. Company watchers are
speculating that the company may give
iPhone buyers its “Bumper” case, which nor-
mally costs $29.
The phone went on sale three weeks ago
and outsold previous iPhone launches in its
first three days, with 1.7 million units sold.
Complaints about the signal strength soon fol-
lowed.

JPMorgan earns $4.8 Business briefs

billion in second quarter
NEW YORK — JPMorgan Chase & Co.
said Thursday its second-quarter net income
soared 77 percent to $4.8 billion as a slow-
down in losses from failed loans helped offset
a difficult spring in trading and investment
banking.
The strong results offered hope that loan
losses at the nation’s big banks may have
peaked in the first half of 2010, a critical step
before banks can become stronger and boost
lending to consumers and small businesses.
JPMorgan Chase, the first of the big banks
to report earnings for the April-June period,
easily surpassed analysts’ expectations as it
earned $1.09 a share, up 28 cents a share from
a year earlier.
Manufacturing cools
in June as recovery slows
WASHINGTON — New evidence of a
slowing economic rebound emerged Thursday
in reports that manufacturing activity is slow-
ing after helping drive the early stages of the
recovery. Factory output fell in June, accord-
ing to a government report on industrial pro-
duction. It was the sharpest monthly drop in a
year. And two regional manufacturing indexes
sank this month.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Porsche’s grand experiment — a first-ever Porsche sedan
styled in an elongated, yet familiar, sports car-looking body —
is doing well, even in a U.S. economy that’s struggling to
recover.
No doubt, buyers of the 2010 Porsche Panamera, whose
starting retail price is $90,775, are well insulated from the eco-
nomic turmoil — and that’s before they are encased in the
Panamera’s 4,000-pound mass, 16 feet of metal from bumper
to bumper.
Only about 4,700 of these rare cars have been sold in the
United States so far, and the drive in a Panamera is special.
The V-8 engines deliver awesome power and acceleration so
quick, a driver can race up to other cars in traffic in a heartbeat.
At the same time, the Panamera’s interior appointments can be
sumptuous and the array of driver-controlled buttons for seats,
suspension settings and more, overwhelming. Throughout, the
heaviness of this extra-long vehicle serves as a constant
reminder that this isn’t a usual Porsche.
Launched in this country in October last year, the Panamera
has been available in three levels, all with V-8s. The base
model, with 400-horsepower V-8, is rear-wheel drive, while
the mid-level 2010 Panamera 4S, has the 400-horsepower V-8
plus all-wheel drive and a starting manufacturer’s suggested
retail price, including destination charge, of $94,775. The top
2010 Panamera Turbo comes with a 500-horsepower, twin-tur-
bocharged V-8, all-wheel drive and a starting retail price of
$133,575.
A new entry model with 300-horsepower V-6 is planned for
introduction shortly, and it will carry a starting retail price of
around $75,000.
Panamera competitors include other high-performance, lux-
ury sedans such as the 2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS550, which
has a 382-horsepower V-8, rear-wheel drive and a $74,575
starting retail price tag.
The size and styling of the test 2010 Panamera 4S made
onlookers do doubletakes. From the front, the car looked like
a two-seat 911, but with a longer hood that’s needed to accom-
modate the front-mounted V-8. It’s only when people started to
take in the full side view of the car — seeing the four doors
instead of the 911’s two doors and the extra length — that it
began to sink in that this was a different Porsche.
Driving the Panamera, I had to adjust, too. I was accustomed
to slipping into tight parking spaces with the Porsche 911s I
had tested. But the Panamera is a foot wider, outside mirrors
included. It also has long doors, so I had to skip compact-sized
parking spots and seek wider and longer spots instead.
The Panamera has seats for four lucky riders who travel in
style. Seat cushions are thick, supportive and comfortable for
long drives, even in the back seat. And the optional luxor beige

Toyota says acceleration probe far from finished

By Dan Strumpf
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Toyota is “not
anywhere near close” to drawing
any firm conclusions from its probe
of unintended acceleration reports
and doesn’t plan to disclose its find-
ings until the government finishes
its own investigation, a company
spokesman said Thursday.
Toyota Motor Corp. engineers
have investigated more than 2,000
reports of surging cars. Several gov-
ernment agencies, including NASA
and the Transportation Department,
are conducting their own probes
into complaints of unintended
acceleration as well, but their find-
ings aren’t due until as late as next
year.
“It’s important to allow others ...
to complete their investigations
without our findings providing any
sort of influence,” Michels said.
Earlier this week, The Wall Street
Journal, citing anonymous sources,
reported that the government had
analyzed dozens of data recorders in
Toyota vehicles involved in crashes
blamed on unintended acceleration
and found the throttles were open
and the brakes were not engaged.
A 2008 Toyota Prius brakes in a stadium parking lot following Toyota's announcement of preliminary findings
regarding their investigation of an unintended acceleration incident involving a 2008 Prius.
That suggests drivers were to
blame, stepping on the gas pedal
when they intended to step on the
brakes.
Michels said Toyota has found a
number of causes for unintended
acceleration among the complaints
it has investigated so far, including
misplaced floormats or stacked floor
mats and sticky pedals. Among
complaints where the driver said the
brake pedal was depressed, driver

error was to blame in most cases, he
said. The automaker hasn’t found
evidence that electronics are to
blame, he said.
The government on Wednesday
said it hasn’t reached any conclu-
sions about whether Toyota drivers
may be to blame for their vehicles
suddenly accelerating.
NHTSA engineers and NASA
scientists have been looking into
cases of sudden acceleration in
Toyotas and studying electronics in
cars and trucks. Their investigation
is expected to be completed in the
fall.
In addition, the National
Academy of Sciences is conducting
a broader review of unintended
acceleration in cars and trucks
across the entire auto industry. The
panel is expected to report its find-
ings in the fall of 2011.
Toyota has recalled more than 8.5
million vehicles worldwide to
address the possibility of unintend-
ed acceleration. It is fixing faulty
floormats and sticky gas pedals in
the cars and trucks.
The government has said unin-
tended acceleration in Toyota vehi-
cles may be tied to 93 deaths over
the last decade and has fined Toyota
$16.4 million for failing to prompt-
ly notify the government about
defective gas pedals among its vehi-
cles. Congress is weighing an over-
haul of auto safety laws in the after-
math of the Toyota recalls.

in certain sunlight conditions, when the
light-colored leather swathed on the
dashboard reflected up to the wind-

tion occurred at the parcel shelf behind
the rear seats, because it, too, had the
light color and would reflect up to the
rear window.
The 4.8-liter, double overhead cam V-

the test car, with more than 4,000 miles,
took some getting used to because brak-
ing power didn’t come on linearly.
Rather, there was a sense of artificiality
in the brake feel and brakes would grab,
rather than smoothly slow the car at
times.
For a test car that topped out at more
than $100,000, the Panamera 4S seemed
to be showing some wear and tear early.
For example, the 19-inch tires were
worn in areas.
Everyone rides low to the pavement in
the Panamera, so views out the front are
limited to the back ends of taller vehi-
cles. But once the traffic is behind the
Panamera and roads open up, the car
moves purposefully and flawlessly, with
the body mass well-controlled, in turns
and on twisty roads. Also, the test car’s
steering was precise, but not twitchy.
The interior was quite quiet, unless
the car was accelerating hard, and then
deep V-8 sounds came to the fore.
drive test model was rated at 16 miles
per gallon in city driving and 24 mpg on
the highway. This is worse than many
sport utility vehicles. The Panamera has
a large 26.4-gallon gasoline tank, allow-
ing it to travel more than 400 miles
before needing a fillup. Premium fuel is
required.
The cargo area of 15.7 cubic feet
expands to 44.6 cubic feet if the back
seats are folded down.
The Panamera comes with a full com-
plement of safety equipment, including
antilock brakes, curtain air bags and
electronic stability control. But some
driving aides, such as parking sensors,
are options.
In the spring, more than 3,100
Panameras were recalled because their
safety belt locking mechanism might
not work if a front seat was adjusted
“towards an extreme position” at the
time of a crash, according to the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.

Colt title game set
South City to play Foster City after beating San Bruno 12-2
By Emanuel Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Before the Peninsula Colt League Section
tournament started, it was clear the Foster
City and South San Francisco All-Star teams
were the favorites to meet for the champi-
onship.
Now it’s going to happen. South San
Francisco held up its end of the bargain after
whipping San Bruno 12-2 in an elimination
game on Thursday at Washington Park. The
contest ended with one out in the bottom of
the sixth inning due to the 10-run mercy rule.
Foster City and South San Francisco play
today at 5 p.m. at the same venue for the title.
If South San Francisco wins, the teams will
play approximately 30 minutes afterwards in a
winner-take-all contest. Foster City must be
beaten twice, having gained the upper hand
after beating the Indians 9-4 in Wednesday’s
winner’s bracket semifinal.
“We’re ready to play two,” Indians manager
Joe Freitas said. “Foster City was definitely
the better team (Wednesday); now we’ll see
how we match up with them. I feel confident.”
The South City players gave plenty of rea-
sons for Freitas to feel confident. They dis-
mantled a solid San Bruno squad with solid
pitching and a potent lineup that battered San
Bruno for 15 hits. The game was close for a
while until the Indians broke things open with
a six-run fifth inning.
They led 5-2 entering the stanza before rip-
ping off six hits in the frame, with Greg
Bildhauer finishing off the outburst with a
two-run double to make it 11-2. One inning
later, South San Francisco sent everyone
home early when Brandon Low — who led
off the inning with a double — scored with
one out on a double from Steve Pastora.
The Indians don’t have problems scoring.
Since forming the All-Star team three weeks
ago, they’ve scored at least three runs in each

Lincecum shuts down Mets
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Tim Lincecum
pitched a six-hitter for his fourth career shutout
and Pablo Sandoval hit an RBI double to help
the San Francisco Giants open the second half of
the season with a 2-0 victory over the New York
Mets on Thursday night.
Lincecum (10-4) is coming off his third
straight trip to the All-Star game, but was able to
start the first game after the break because he
was not used in Tuesday night’s game in
Anaheim.
The Giants fans who may have been disap-
pointed not to see their two-time Cy Young win-
ner appear in the All-Star game were more than
happy to see him dominate in a game that counts
in the standings for the Giants.
They cheered loudly when he was sent to bat
in the bottom of the eighth inning and he
responded by slapping a single to left field. He
then finished the Mets off on the mound with a
perfect ninth for his first shutout since throwing
a two-hitter against St. Louis on June 29, 2009.

Once powerful A’s struggle to go deep
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — From the days of Reggie
Jackson in the 1970s to the Bash Brothers of
the 1980s to the slugging beer-league style
teams that were so successful a decade ago,
power has often been a big component of the
Oakland Athletics’ success.
It’s that long ball power that has been the
biggest missing ingredient in a first half of the
season that had moments of perfection that
were too infrequent for any sustained success.

home runs to win games,” slugger Jack Cust

lowing a seven-game losing
streak.
The Mets’ only real threat
against Lincecum came in
the fifth inning when Josh
Thole hit a line drive
through the box that
glanced off Lincecum’s
back for a single. That put
Tim Lincecum runners on first and second
with no outs. But Lincecum
retired the next three hitters, getting Angel Pagan
on a flyout to right field with runners on second
and third to escape the jam.
Lincecum struck out five and walked one in
the 110-pitch outing. He now has had two
straight strong starts after a rare pair of rough
outings against Boston and Colorado.
The Mets were hoping for a big offensive
boost this game with the return of five-time All-
Star Carlos Beltran to the lineup. Beltran had
been out since undergoing offseason surgery on
his right knee. He batted cleanup and played
center field, but was caught stealing after his
said. “Everybody hits more home runs than
us.”
That’s pretty much been the case so far this
season. The A’s come out of the All-Star break
ties with Seattle and Houston for the fewest
home runs in all of baseball with 57.
The A’s are on pace for 104 home runs this
season — the fewest in a full season for the
franchise since 1978. In fact, the A’s are in
danger of failing to reach 100 home runs for
the first time since the franchise’s inaugural
season in Oakland in 1968.
Jackson had 37 home runs at the All-Star
break the following season and the A’s have
been one of the game’s best power-hitting
only hit in the game.
The Mets managed just five other hits off
Lincecum in the opener of an 11-game road trip.
Lincecum needed to be sharp in this game as the
Giants struggled to generate much offense
against knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (6-3).
Dickey allowed just five hits in seven innings
and was only really threatened in the second.
Buster Posey led off that inning with a single
and advanced to third on a groundout and wild
pitch. Sandoval then lined a ball off the brick
archways in right field so hard that it rolled
almost to center field before Pagan chased it
down.
The Giants managed nothing else against
Dickey, but managed to win for just the third
time in 29 games this season when they scored
two or fewer runs. They added a run in the
eighth on an RBI fielder’s choice by Posey.

SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco

The team announced the deal with the Bay

his years. His 63 tied the lowest score
in any major, and it was only the sec-
ond such score at St. Andrews in
golf’s oldest championship.
Of the eight players who have shot
63 in the British Open, McIlroy is the
only one to do it in the first round.
“I’m very happy that I was able to
take advantage of those conditions,”
said McIlroy, who had a two-shot lead
over Louis Oosthuizen of South
Africa. “And it gives me a little bit of
a buffer going into the next three days,
whatever weather comes our way.”
It sure didn’t feel easy in the after-
noon.
Not long after McIlroy finished his
round, the leaden skies over St.
Andrews Bay brought showers to the
Old Course and a breeze that picked
up strength the rest of the afternoon.

“The difference for the early and
late starters was huge,” Westwood
said. “You could have kicked it round
in a low score this morning. The
course was defenseless, and I actually
expected somebody to post a 62. I
don’t think I have ever known St.
Andrews as calm. Hopefully, we
might get a break with the weather
tomorrow morning, but you never
know.”
Retief Goosen turned on his televi-
sion just before 10 a.m. and saw Daly
at 7-under par through 11 holes. The
wind already was whipping flags
when he teed off, and the two-time
U.S. Open champion equated his 69
to a 66 had he played in the morning.
He bore no grudges. Such is the
fickle nature of links golf.
“You’ve still got to make a score,”
Goosen said. “It doesn’t matter how
easy it is.”

McIlroy’s amazing run began with
a drive that he hit onto the green at the
352-yard ninth hole to about 15 feet
below the hole. He knocked that in for
birdie and was on his way. The freck-
led-face kid followed with a sand
wedge to 6 feet on the 10th for birdie,
The Indians received a solid start
from Tyler Rios, who allowed two
runs over five innings. San Bruno
put runners on base in four of the
five innings, but Rios was at his best
when he needed to be, stranding
several San Bruno runners in scor-
ing position.
“Tyler didn’t have his best stuff,
but he gutted it out and kept bat-
tling,” Freitas said.
Luchiano Molina led San Bruno
with three hits, including a run-scor-

a 7-iron to 8 feet for birdie on the
11th, and two putts from 50 feet on
the short 12th hole.
It was so low — and so there for the
taking — that even after a record-
tying round, he thought about the one
that got away.
McIlroy was 8 under when he flew
ing double that reached the fence in

It was an impressive shot, consider-
ing it’s 370 feet down the left-field
line. Teammate Jake Steenvoorde
finished with two hits.
South San Francisco leadoff man
and center fielder David Jimenez
made his presence felt in a number
of ways. In addition to making two
nice back-to-back catches in the
fifth inning — thereby preventing a
run from scoring — Jimenez also

the Road Hole bunker on the 17th,
leaving him a 5-foot birdie putt. Make
that, and he goes to the 357-yard 18th
with a shot at 62.
He missed.
“It sort of went through my mind on
17 that 62 would have been the lowest
round in a major,” McIlroy said.
“That’s probably why I missed the
putt.”
He already shot a 62 earlier this
year on a course that was far tougher
than St. Andrews on Thursday —
Quail Hollow for his first victory in
America. It was another example why
so many have predicted stardom for
him. He also shot a 61 at Royal
Portrush when he was 16.
This was different.
“I think it probably is the most spe-
cial just because it’s at St. Andrews,”
McIlroy said. “And it’s the Open
Championship.”
Oosthuizen looked as though he
might have a chance to join McIlroy.

a run with a sacrifice-fly to make it
2-1 in the second.
Even though both Foster City and
South San Francisco earned berths

week, Freitas said the winner of the
section contest will earn a stronger
seed and probably a more favorable
matchup in Region. Translation:
There’s plenty at stake today even
though neither team’s season is on
the line.

WARRIORS
Continued from page 13
While the two sides worked out the details,
Ellison came back with what Galatioto described
as a “marginally higher” offer just hours before
the signing.
“He was way past the deadline,” Galatioto
said. “There was no way I was going to recom-
mend that bid to Chris. ... Once the shot clock
expires, are you allowed to get back on the court
and have it count? I don’t think so.”
The bid from Lacob and Guber broke the
record for the largest sale in league history, top-
ping the $401 million Robert Sarver paid to buy
the Phoenix Suns in 2004.
The deal still needs to be approved by three-
quarters of the NBA Board of Governors. Lacob
also must sell his interest in the Celtics. Galatioto
said he expects the deal to be finalized by the end
of September.
Lacob, who has been a season-ticket holder for
the Warriors, was part of the ownership group
with the Celtics when they won their 17th cham-
pionship two years ago. He has also been
involved in sports websites, was the primary
investor in the women’s American Basketball
League along in venture capital.
Guber is a producer who helped bring movies
such as “Rain Man,” “Batman,” “Flashdance,”
and “The Color Purple” to the screen. In 1995, he
founded the Mandalay Entertainment Group
with partner Paul Schaeffer, who will also be an

snapped a 22-game homerless streak last
Friday and added another deep ball Sunday in
a sign that maybe he has finally found his
stroke after starting the season in the minors.
The A’s hit five home runs in the final three-
game series of the first half, taking two of
three against the division rival Angels. That
helped Oakland improve to 43-46 at the break
and move within 7 1/2 games of division-lead-
ing Texas.
“It was up and down,” Cust said of the first
half. “We had some good moments and some
struggles but I think overall we’re in a good
position. We get to play teams ahead of us
head-to-head a bunch in the second half. The
opportunity’s going to be there so hopefully
we can play some baseball like we’ve played
the last couple days and make it tough on
some of these teams.”
Oakland’s pitching has been the key so far,
led by All-Stars Trevor Cahill and Andrew
Bailey. Cahill, who turned 22 in spring train-
ing, is 9-3 with a 2.94 ERA. Bailey followed
up his Rookie of the Year campaign with 18
saves and a 1.70 ERA in the first half.
A’s starters are fourth in the league with a
3.74 ERA despite getting only six starts from
Brett Anderson and five from Justin
Duchscherer because of injuries. Duchscherer
is out for the year but Anderson is expected to
return as early as this month to provide a big
SPORTS
owner of the team. Mandalay has financed, pro-
duced and distributed numerous motion pictures
including “Donnie Brasco,” “Enemy at the
Gates,” and “Seven Years in Tibet.”
Cohan has had financial problems. In 2007, the
Internal Revenue Service said he owed more than
$160 million in back income taxes and penalties
from the 1998 sale of a cable television compa-
ny.
Cohan bought the Warriors in January 1995 for
about $119 million and made the playoffs just
once in his entire tenure. The only other fran-
chises that have been in the league since then to
make the playoffs fewer than five times are the
Los Angeles Clippers with two appearances and
the Memphis/Vancouver Grizzlies with three.
The one playoff berth came in 2007, when the
Warriors became the first No. 8 seed to beat the
top seed in a best-of-seven series. Golden State
lost to Utah in the following round and failed to
make the playoffs in 2008 despite winning 48
games. The Warriors have reverted to form the
past two seasons with 55 wins in that span.
But despite the long run of on-court struggles,
Golden State has a passionate fan base that has
helped pack Oracle Arena in recent years and
made the team a desirable target for a new owner.
Cohan thanked the Warriors fans, calling them
the “best fans in all of sports.”
One of the first major decisions the new own-
ers will have to make is whether to keep the
Warriors management team in place. Coach Don
Nelson has one year and $6 million remaining on
his contract. President Robert Rowell and gener-
al manager Larry Riley also could be replaced.
boost to the rotation.
Oakland also expects to get Dallas Braden
back from the disabled list next week. Braden
provided the first half highlight for the team
with his perfect game against Tampa Bay on
May 9, but has gone winless in eight starts
since then.
“Our starting pitching has been pretty good
even with their absence,” Geren said. “I think
we’re going to get some players back that are
going to help us. And we play those teams
ahead of us in the second half as well.”
The A’s are also looking for a boost from
outfielder Conor Jackson, who played only 14
games after being acquired from Arizona last
month before going on the DL with a ham-
string injury.
Oakland also was without outfielder Coco
Crisp for 70 games, Suzuki for three weeks
and second baseman Mark Ellis for a month
because of injuries in the first half.
“In the second half, hopefully we’ll be able
to keep everybody together and everybody
healthy,” Crisp said. “We stand a good chance
of making a push to the end and we’ll see
what happens.”
One player who might not make it to the fin-
ish with Oakland is Ben Sheets, who signed a
$10 million, one-year deal as a free agent in
the offseason. Sheets is just 4-8 but put togeth-
er back-to-back solid starts against the
Yankees and Angels before the break.
That could be enough to get a contender to
make a play for him before the trade deadline.
“I’m just trying to go out there and pitch the
best I can,” Sheets said. “Everything else takes
care of itself.”

help it. And by watching, you not only build the
monster, but you feed it and keep it going. You
love the spectacle, the freak show, the accident
waiting to happen.
No matter what you say, you ate it up and
wanted more. Much more. Then you lambasted
James afterwards, just waiting to bring down
“The King.” The reality is, if you weren’t so
inclined to watch, ESPN, James and his
entourage wouldn’t come up with some cocka-
mamie production as “The Decision.” But they
knew you would watch, and so did you, even if
there was some small part of your brain making
you feel a tinge of guilt for wanting to be a part
of the spectacle.
You can be disappointed in LeBron for not
being a true alpha dog in the mold of a Michael
Jordan or Kobe Bryant. Jordan and Kobe
would’ve stuck it out in Cleveland because they
would be cocky enough to know they could
lead that God-forsaken organization to a cham-

that regard, but how are you going to get on

San Mateo’s Palomino team produced one of
the biggest wins in program history Tuesday
when it put a 13-1 beatdown on the Santa Clara
Red Sox, winners of multiple Palomino World
Series championships.
In beating Santa Clara for the first time since
2002 — the game was called after five innings
due to the mercy rule — the White Sox put
themselves in a strong position to win their first
league title in program history. At 16-2, San
Mateo is currently all alone atop the Palomino
League standings.
Tuesday, the White Sox scored in every
inning, breaking things open with a seven-run
third. Mitch Labbie highlighted the inning with
a grand slam, his second homer of the game.
Labbie finished with five RBIs, Tyler Nitihara
had a double and home run and Nick Franquez
allowed just one earned run in going the dis-
tance.
Franquez also helped himself at the plate, fin-
ishing 3 for 3 — all singles — while scoring
three times. Nate Davidson also got in on San
Mateo’s 11-hit attack, delivering a two-run
home run in the third. Barring a collapse, the
White Sox will qualify for next week’s Region
tournament in Santa Cruz.
The Palomino Western Zone playoffs are in
Compton and the World Series will be held at
PAL Stadium for the second straight year, with
the San Jose Blaze serving as the host team.

Poems a
tough fit
in e-form
By Hillel Italie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Billy Collins, one of the

country’s most popular poets, had never seen
his work in e-book form until he recently
downloaded his latest collection on his Kindle.
He was unpleasantly surprised.
“I found that even in a very small font that if
the original line is beyond a certain length, they
will take the extra word and have it flush left on
the screen, so that instead of a three-line stanza
you actually have a four-line stanza. And that
screws everything up,” says Collins, a former

THE DAILY JOURNAL
From Off-Broadway, “Piaf: Love
Conquers All” comes to San Francisco,
with chanteuse Naomi Emmerson inter-
preting the life and music of Edith Piaf,
“The Little Sparrow,” the cultural icon
universally regarded as France’s greatest
popular singer. Among Piaf’s songs are
“La Vie en rose” (1946), “Hymne à
l’amour” (1949), “Milord” (1959), “Non,
je ne regrette rien” (1960),
“l’Accordéoniste” (1955), “Padam...
Padam...” (1951) and “La Foule” (1957),
all of which Emmerson presents in the
original French, accompanied by Alan
Choy’s live acoustic piano. (The play’s
dialogue is in English.) Emmerson
weaves anecdotes of Piaf’s life among the
songs – conveying her passion for men,
music and morphine. Running time 110
minutes with one intermission. Directed
by Naomi Emmerson. Written by Roger
Peace. Through Aug. 7.

Monday.
STAGE DIRECTIONS:
The Eureka Theatre is a 200-seat venue
in downtown San Francisco several blocks
up the hill from the waterfront at 215
Jackson St. between Battery and Front
streets. From the Peninsula, take Highway
101 North onto INterstate 280 north, exit-
ing at King Street, which becomes The
Embarcadero. Follow the Embarcadero
just past the Ferry Building, then turn left
onto Broadway, then left onto Battery,
then left onto Jackson.
Some street parking is available after
six p.m. but most parking is in attended
garages such as Golden Gateway Center
Parking (entrance on Clay between
Battery and Front streets), Embarcadero
Center Garage (entrance on Battery
between Clay and Sacramento streets),
and City Parking Garage (Broadway and
Front Street). Be sure to double check
closing times at the parking garages as
some garages close at 10 p.m. on week-
days.
AN ASIDE:
Emmerson says, “The most captivating
thing about Piaf for me is her insatiable
need to be loved and her unrelenting
desire to sing, against all odds. I am fasci-
nated by her obsessive passion for her art.
Singing was like food or air to her. She
often said: “If I could not sing, I would
at
die.” The fact that I have been performing
this legendary icon for five years, allows
me to really get into her skin each night. I
never get tired of it, or bored. It is the
Friday• July 16, 2010 19
music that inspires me every night; to
share this tragically moving story to the
public is what keeps me going. When I see
myself in that wig and little black dress,
my whole body changes, and I am ready
for the two hour roller-coaster ride that is
this woman’s life.”
THE CAST RECOMMENDS:
Kokkari Estiatorio (200 Jackson St.) for
Greek/Mediterranean and Chiaroscuro
(550 Washington St.) for Italian.
OH,AND DID YOU KNOW?:
When Piaf died of liver cancer at age 47
on Oct. 11, 1963, her funeral procession
drew tens of thousands of mourners onto
the streets of Paris and more than 100,000
fans attended the ceremony at the ceme-
tery. Charles Aznavour recalled that Piaf’s
funeral procession was the only time since
the end of World War II that he saw
Parisian traffic come to a complete stop.
Her grave in Père Lachaise Cemetery in
Paris is among the most visited. For

Rick Bayless throws a fiesta
By Michelle Kayal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rick Bayless has spent three
decades teasing out the secrets of
Mexican cooking, from street stall
grub to high-end restaurant fare. Now
the Chicago restaurateur captures the
essence of a grand Mexican party in
“Fiesta at Rick’s.”
This sixth cookbook by Bayless
turns classics upside down while actu-
ally enhancing their authenticity, with
more than 150 recipes that will guide
you from a pre-dinner drinks party to a
paella extravaganza for the whole
neighborhood.
Thought you knew guacamole?
Think again. Bayless serves up a half-
dozen recipes for the iconic dip that
incorporate items like smoky bacon,
toasted pumpkin seeds, or subtly sweet
mango puree.
Margaritas are freshened with blood
orange or cucumber, and gussied up
with Champagne for the perfect
brunch cocktail. Little tips — for
instance, skip the salted rim and shake
your sodium directly into the drink —
make you look like a fiesta master.
And soft drinks made from puckery
tamarind, fresh watermelon, or rice
and almonds bring Mexico to your
backyard.
In chapters arranged by type of dish
— for instance, “nibbles” or tapas, or
street food — Bayless takes home

ceviche to red chili tuna tartare, from

butterflied whole fish marinated in
chilies, garlic and soy sauce to a tequi-
la-spiked paella for 30.
And who knew that potato salad —
that staple of the American summer
picnic — could be reinvented with
beef, avocado and smoky chipotles?
Bayless espouses fresh ingredients
and painstaking techniques, but aspir-
ing chefs with more dreams than time
will appreciate his concession to daily
realities with substitutions like frozen
tamarind for fresh, and recipes such as
“easy” mole, made in the slow-cooker.
Full-blown fiesta menus end each
chapter, offering step-by-step plans for
a party, including the luxury gua-
camole bar that helped Bayless win the
first season of “Top Chef Masters.”
There’s even a playlist, that unfortu-

what music they (or their public rela-
tions people) think goes best with their
food.

The Impressionists. Today their paintings are so familiar, so
loved and so expensive. It’s hard to imagine that they were
once rejected by the social establishment and sent the art
world into a frenzy. What was it all about?
“Birth of Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Musée
d’Orsay,” the extraordinary exhibit at San Francisco’s de
Young Museum, tells the story, focusing on the tumultuous
period of the 1860s and 1870s in Paris. The artists whose
works are represented include Manet, Monet, Sisley and the
American expatriate James McNeill Whistler, whose
“Arrangement in Grey and Black, No 1.,” better known as
“Whistler’s Mother,” is one of the exhibition highlights.

INCEPTION
Continued from page 18
in dreams, layers of consciousness and meth-
ods of manipulation, “Inception” might make
you want to stop a few times just to get your
bearings.
The juggernaut of Nolan’s storytelling
momentum, however, keeps pounding away.
Even from the very beginning, you may
feel a bit off-balance, with Nolan jumping
around in time before dropping you into the
middle of a tense conversation between
Leonardo DiCaprio as dream thief Dom
Cobb, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as his right-hand
man, Arthur, and Ken Watanabe as one of
their clients.
That’s part of the game, though: making us
question what’s reality and what’s a product
of sleep, right alongside the characters.
That experience in itself may sound a bit
familiar, and “Inception” does feature glim-
mers of mind-trip movies like “The Matrix,”
“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and
even a “Wizard of Oz” moment. At its core,
NOLAN

long, intertwined history with psychology,
recent movies of the mind suggest a new trend
where characters and camera dive headlong
into the mind.
Christopher Nolan, who directed and wrote
“Inception,” said that the way a dream is
formed, to him, “suggests infinite potential for
human creativity, an infinite mystery to the
way the human mind works.”
“I really think that that’s when the tools of
large-scale Hollywood filmmaking are being
used to serve their best ends,” he said in a
recent interview. “Really, it’s just creating an
alternate reality for people to explore that they
could never have imagined themselves. With
‘Inception,’ that is certainly my attempt to try
and do that.”
And so audiences are treated to startling
visions in “Inception”: Paris turning on top of
itself; a train suddenly barreling through a
downtown street; Leonardo DiCaprio stealth-
ily traveling through another person’s multi-
leveled dream, moving secretly past a peopled
subconscious in a wholly fabricated city.
Whereas older movies such Alfred
Hitchcock’s “Spellbound” (1945) — with
Salvador Dali’s surreal dream sequence —
dealt with psychoanalysis, or “The
Manchurian Candidate” (1965) dealt with
mind control, current films are more inclined
WEEKEND JOURNAL
it’s actually a heist movie — the tried-and-
true One Last Job, to be exact — but Nolan
takes these elements and combines them in a
way that is daringly, dazzlingly his own.
So ... where were we again? Ah yes,
explaining what “Inception” is about.
DiCaprio’s Dom Cobb is an extractor, a
sort of master thief who enters the mind while
a person is dreaming to steal their secrets.
Watanabe, as the powerful businessman
Saito, hires Dom and his team for a different
kind of crime: sneak into the subconscious of
a competitor (Cillian Murphy) and implant an
idea that will ruin his empire. In return, Saito
will help Dom clear his name for a crime he
didn’t commit, one that’s torn him from his
wife and two young children and forced him
to go on the run.
And so, as in any classic caper, “Inception”
provides the anticipation of watching Dom
assemble his crew and map out his scheme,
with each person performing a specific func-
tion. While Dom is the big-picture guy,
Arthur handles the details. Eames (the huge-
ly charismatic Tom Hardy from “Bronson”) is
the forger — someone who can assume
another identity to control the dreamer. Yusuf
(Dileep Rao) is the chemist whose concoction
to physically represent the mind’s inner ter-
rain.
This is partly because of advances in digital
effects, which have made it possible to create
nearly anything imaginable. But this cinemat-
ic trend also dovetails recent developments in
psychiatry.
In recent years, scientists have increasingly
pinpointed how the mind works using tech-
nologies for brain imaging and brain mapping
that can localize brain activity.
“Now in psychology we’re using a lot more
neuroimaging devices, such as PET scans,
CAT scans, MRIs,” says Dr. Sharon Packer,
psychiatrist and author of “Movies and the
Modern Psyche,” a 2007 book that looks at the
connection between psychology and film.
“Psychiatry is now thinking in terms of
visions, if we look at neuroimaging.
Psychiatry is getting much more visual, so I
think that plays into a different kind of film.”
And so filmmakers, too, have mapped the
brain.
In 2004’s “Eternal Sunshine,” Jim Carrey
stumbles through his memories while they’re
being erased: rain falls indoors; a bed is sud-
denly transported to a beach; a tiny Carrey is
washed by his mother in the sink.
And in “The Matrix” (1999), which influ-
enced Nolan, Neo (Keanu Reeves) spends
most of the film plugged into a separate world,
his eyes closed and body strapped down while
he crusades in another reality.
The experience of moviegoing has long been
said to be similar to a waking dream, and many
of the most beloved films (“Wizard of Oz,”

Ariadne (Ellen Page, showing an appeal-
ingly low-key intelligence) is the architect,
the one who builds the maze-like structure of
the dream. Since she’s the newcomer, she
also serves as our guide in this brave new
world. And her name, like that of several
characters, couldn’t have been a coincidence;
in Greek mythology, Ariadne helps lead
Theseus out of the labyrinth with a ball of red
“Vertigo,” “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari”) are
positively dreamlike.
But in contemporary movies, outside views
of the psyche often aren’t enough. Perhaps
filmmakers, reacting to developments in sci-
ence, feel that they know much better what the
mind looks like.
“Because I pay attention to (dreams), I
become more attuned to them and I become
more sensitive,” Michel Gondry (“Eternal
Sunshine,” “The Science of Sleep”) once said.
“It’s a good way to see filmmaking, associat-
ing disparate images.”
Many of these films are among the most
complex of recent mainstream movies, with
nonlinear plots and elaborate systems of reali-
ty. Often, these journeys into the mind are less
likely to unlock a simple secret or memory, but
reveal an unknowable, mysterious labyrinth.
And those who think they have the mind fig-
ured out usually get their comeuppance.
The 2000 film “The Cell” was written by
Mark Protosevich and starred Jennifer Lopez
as a psychotherapist who literally goes inside
the nightmarish mind of a serial killer to
search for clues for his latest victim. Inspired
in part by “Brainscan” (1994) and
“Dreamscape” (1984), it was ornately and lav-
ishly directed by Tarsem Singh.
“This type of story does give directors who
have a strong visual sense a great opportuni-
ty,” said Protosevich. “I sometimes think that
movies visually have gotten a little bland or
are just sort of over the top. But a visually
strong director given this kind of environment
to work in can create something that you’ve

thread when he enters to slay the Minotaur.
(Thanks, seventh-grade English class!)
But when they all fall asleep and dream
together, both as practice and during the real
deal, forces from their own subconscious
states enter the picture — namely Dom’s
wife, Mal (Marion Cotillard), someone else
whose name offers a clue. Here’s where
DiCaprio infuses the character with vulnera-
bility to complement his drive. Wistful mem-
ories of their relationship provide the neces-
sary heart to balance out the intense braini-
ness of the picture, some softness to lighten
the substantial heft of the machinery.
And what a machine it is. You’ve seen the
big set pieces countless times in the commer-
cials: a freight train plowing through down-
town traffic, DiCaprio and Page sitting calm-
ly in a cafe surrounded by explosions, Paris
folding over on top of itself, Gordon-Levitt
floating through a hotel corridor. You haven’t
seen anything until you’ve seen them on the
big screen. They’re enormous yet intricately
detailed, tactile while at the same time ...
well, dreamlike.
It’s all part of one of the year’s best films,
one that will surely get even better upon
repeated viewings.
never seen before.”
Protosevich said the world of the mind was,
to him, “as interesting as Pandora on
‘Avatar.”’
“The potential for a unique experience is
there, and that’s what I’m looking for when I
go to the movies. I could see movies that deal
with this idea all the time.”
There are also many less literal movies of
the mind. “The Usual Suspects” is essentially
the figment of an imagination. Martin
Scorsese’s “Shutter Island” is the deranged
vision of a psychotic, his paranoia made real.
David Fincher’s “Fight Club” actually splices
the film with subconscious flickers of the pro-
tagonist’s (Edward Norton) alter ego, Tyler
Durden (Brad Pitt).
Others, too, are on the way. HBO is devel-
oping a drama series, to be executive pro-
duced by Fincher, based on the book “Mind
Hunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime
Unit.” Next March, Matt Damon will star in
“The Adjustment Bureau,” in which his char-
acter is given a glimpse of his future.
Audiences have often been eager for the
ride. Into-the-mind films such as “The
Matrix” and “Being John Malkovich” are
among the most widely revered movies of the
last decade. The early, glowing reviews of
“Inception” suggest it could continue the
trend.
“Hey are you a dreamer?” asks a character
in Richard Linklater’s animated “Waking
Life” (2001). “The dreamer is banished to
obscurity. Well, I’m trying to change all that,
and I hope you are, too.”

people can’t afford to check out a movie.
They can check one out for free at the

How to cover the $22,000, however, has
not yet been established, said City
Manager Connie Jackson. Jackson is con-
sidering all options, like reconfiguring
library hours and cuts in other places.
Dipping into the reserves is not an option
given the council’s previous direction, she
said.
San Bruno’s library is currently open

Director Randy Schwartz. Community

school options.
Charging for summer school generated
mixed comments.
Some high school students enroll in
local community colleges during the
summer to prep for courses, said board
President Liza Normandy. If those same
courses could be offered at the high
schools, students would have to travel a
shorter distance and the district could
generate some cash.
Trustee Phil Weise took issue with
charging students for school, noting dis-
tricts are supposed to offer free education.
Charging for classes will immediately
make taking the classes impossible for
some students, he said.
Goodman suggested talking with the
community college district to see if a
partnership — where the classes could be
on the high school campuses but run by
college professors — could be a solution.

O’Connell noted that people often for-

ing program would affect kids both this
summer and next, she said.
Regardless of the proposal approved,
the library will be open two hours less
daily Monday through Friday, changing
the hours to 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Approval of the budget was previously
postponed on June 22 since only three of
the five councilmembers were in atten-
dance.
Filling the $1.85 million budget hole
will be $900,000 in one-time funds,
$137,000 in savings from sharing fire
services with Millbrae and $821,000 from
reducing employee positions. Salary
freezes were accepted by two of the city’s
six bargaining groups. Negotiations are
continuing as the budget is built in antici-
pation of all groups signing on. This fiscal
year will also have eight furlough days for
city workers.
The district could also research a fund to
help cover the financial cost for students
interested in the courses.
In addition, Normandy wanted to
research creating enrichment courses on
topics like music or architecture that
could offer extra opportunities for district
employees to make money while offering
students courses during winter or spring
break.
While selling surplus land was not
favored, researching developing single-
family houses on the former Foxridge site
and selling the homes for profit was inter-
esting. Weise previously expressed inter-
est in such an idea with the intent of offer-
ing affordable housing for school and city
employees, an idea he still supported.
Various options for advertising were
not welcomed completely. Trustee Judy
Bush was not in favor of selling advertis-
ing space on school vehicles. On the other
hand, Normandy suggested looking for
advertising to put on the district website
to cover the $20,000 annual maintenance
cost.

was changed forever.
Gilbert, whose given name was Gerard,
was an only child. Confident and talented,
he collected people the way others collect
rocks or video games, Holtz said.
If somebody needed a home, her son
brought them to theirs.
At Peninsula High School, he worked
with other students to change the school
colors to black and gold. He had regis-
tered for Skyline Community College
with an eye on art but also wanted to
explore social work and eventually teach
after receiving his credential at Jackson
State University in Mississippi.
“It was a privilege to be his mom,”
of the farm bureau in 1995 and was
involved in many other local organiza-
tions, including the County Fair Board.
The California Farm Bureau
Federation is conducting a review of the
local farm bureau’s finances.
The state Farm Bureau is a non-gov-
ernmental, nonprofit, membership-driv-
en group whose purpose is to protect and
promote agricultural interests through-
out the state. The state Farm Bureau is
comprised of 53 county farm bureaus
that represent approximately 85,000
members in 56 counties.
Half Moon Bay Councilman John
Muller is on the local farm bureau’s
At the same meeting, the council
approved a six-month contract for legal
services as an interim solution to the
vacant city attorney positions.
Pamela Thompson, whose last day as
city attorney is July 16, resigned from the
post in June to take the same position in
Redwood City. Thompson’s last day in the
San Bruno office was Friday. She starts in
Redwood City in early August.
In the meantime, the council hired the
San Carlos firm Aaronson, Dickerson,
Cohn and Lanzone for interim city attor-
ney services over the next six months.
Under the contract, Bob Lanzone will
serve as the interim city attorney with
support from Greg Rubens as interim
deputy city attorney as needed for
$14,000 per month. The contract calls for
Lanzone to have office hours in San
Bruno two days a week, attend all regular
and special City Council meetings and
attend Planning Commission meetings as
needed. The contract excludes Lanzone
from labor negotiations, legal representa-
tion for workers compensation claim and
litigation, specialized legal advice and
representation of the city in major litiga-
tion.
Hoch sent a number of ideas to be read
including focusing on the foundation
started by her and her husband, the South
San Francisco Foundation for Youth.
Hoch advocated for direct donation
requests and increasing on-site
Trustees Bush and Goodman were both
opposed to charging students for trans-
portation to a sporting event.
At the same meeting, the board dis-
cussed the possible project list for a $162
million bond measure to upgrade school
facilities that could be placed before vot-
ers in November.
To put a bond measure on the ballot,
the board must make a decision by Aug.
6. The board is expected to vote during a
special meeting Wednesday, Aug. 4. If the
board does place it on the ballot, such a
measure requires a 55 percent vote to
pass.
Bond funds could support a laundry list
of projects on any of the district’s schools
such as solar panels, major renovation,
roof repairs, portable classrooms replace-
ment, science classrooms and library
upgrades and athletic field improvements.
Holtz said. “He was such an inspiration to
people he met but also to me.”
His friends paint a similar picture.
“He lived like everyone should, making
every last breath count like it was his last
and didn’t care what anyone had to say
about it,” said Emily Rosenblatt.
Roxanne Wahab, a friend since eighth
grade, said, “no amount of time can ever
heal what was taken from us all.”
The question now is the correct remedy
for that loss.
Gilbert’s cousin, Andrea Holtz, said
there must be consequences for the taking
of a life.
“It’s like they think let’s move on but
my family’s not moving on. My
cousins, my grandmother, we’re all just
trying to do the best we can, but it’s like
Alex and Jared’s life meant nothing,”
Holtz said.
In December, with no prosecution in
site, Daphne Holtz filed a civil suit against
Shaghzoian and her family. She has since
decided against pursuing that avenue.
“What do they have that I want? All I
want is my son,” Holtz said.
board of directors, which was scheduled
to meet in closed session this week to
discuss the group’s finances.
Muller referred questions to San
Mateo County Farm Bureau President
Rex Geitner, who could not be reached
for comment yesterday.
The county farm bureaus are the
nucleus of the state organization.
Members join at the county level by pay-
ment of annual dues.

Friday, July 16, 2010
The best of both worlds could be yours in the year ahead, in
that some persons at work could turn out to be wonderful
companions with whom to do things socially. It should be a
pleasant period for you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - If you’re unduly concerned
about trying to impress others in order to feed your ego, it
could cause you to end up boasting, exaggerating or behaving
in some kind of unbecoming manner.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - By following a policy of always being
forthright in your dealings with others, even if it is painful, you
won’t have to worry about what you said to whom and why.
Tell it like it is.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Take extra care to exercise your
best judgment when it comes to handling your funds, so that
you can hang onto some of what you’ve recently acquired.
Material conditions could be tricky at this juncture.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Someone might make you an
important promise that you’ll want to take to heart. However,
be careful because it is likely to be done simply to placate you
for the time being.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Do be protective of your inter-
ests, but also share fairly what has been acquired through a
joint endeavor. Behaving selfishly could generate some prob-
lems difficult to resolve.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Wasting time by allow-
ing yourself to be sidetracked from your responsibilities in
order to engage in a frivolous interest will double your work-
load later, with less time to do it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - It doesn’t take much
brainpower to know that if you’re not as strong a finisher as
needed, success is likely to be denied you. Be determined and
consistent in all you do.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Those who work at your
side might have more faith in your abilities than you do
yourself. If you allow negative thinking to establish your pace,
your chances of success are small.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Be content with the hand that
is dealt you and you should do reasonably well for yourself.
If your expectations are too high, you will be courting disap-
pointment.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - All agreements should be
clearly thought out, regardless of their importance, but even
more so now. There are strong signs that any little bug that
isn’t thrown out will come home to bite.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - It shouldn’t need to be said,
that if you fail to follow through on a project the way you
envisioned it to be, it won’t live up to your expectations. See
things to completion, or the end result won’t be what you
want. Previous
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Even if you don’t mean it, play-
ing down to others or treating friends indifferently won’t win Sudoku
you any fans. Be extra mindful of your social decorum when
you’re out and about. answers

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
ROSE GONSALVES
Case Number 117125
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Rose Gonsalves. A Pe-
tition for Probate has been filed by: Cher-
yl Ann Gonsalves Alfano in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition of Probate requests that
Cheryl Ann Gonsalves Alfano be ap-
pointed as personal representative to ad-
minister the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal represenative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: August 16, 2010 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, 400 County Center,
Redwood City, CA 94063. If you object
to the granting of the petition, you should
appear at the hearing and state your ob-
jections or file written objections with the
court before the hearing. Your appear-
ance may be in person or by your attor-
ney. If you are a creditor or a contingent
creditor of the decedent, you must file
your claim with the court and mail a copy
to the personal representative appointed
by the court within four months from the
date of first issuance of letters as provid-
ed in Probate Code section 9100. The
time for filing claims will not expire before
four months from the hearing date no-
ticed above. You may examine the file
kept by the court. If you are a person in-
terested in the estate, you may file with
the court a Request for Special Notice
(form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory
and appraisal of estate assets or of any
petition or account as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 1250. A Request for
Special Notice form is available from the
court clerk.

Blast in Pakistan kills five,wounds 58
By Sherin Zada and Riaz Khan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINGORA, Pakistan — An apparent
suicide bombing near a bus terminal in
Pakistan’s Swat Valley killed five people
and wounded at least 58 on Thursday,
officials said, a sign that Islamist mili-
tants remain active in the northwest
region despite a massive army operation.
The explosion went off around noon in
Mingora, the main town in the one-time
tourist haven that was largely overrun by
Taliban militants in 2007.
Pakistani TV footage showed vehicles
bent and twisted due to the force of the
blast. Some men were desperately trying
to open the doors of a car to reach a
woman and man sitting in the front who
were bloodied and appeared uncon-
scious.
The area struck was crowded, so the
death toll could rise significantly. Senior
police official Qazi Ghulam Farooq said
five people died, including two women,
and that officials believed a suicide
bomber was involved. At least 58 people
were wounded, he said.
The Pakistan military launched its
biggest operation against the Taliban in
Swat in 2009 after a failed attempt at a
peace deal that included pledges to
impose Islamic law in the area. The
operation forced some 2 million people

to flee, but after a few months, the army
said it had taken control and many of the
refugees returned home.
Still, violence has occasionally flared
in Swat, shaking people’s confidence. A

a comeback in the valley.
In recent weeks, several major suicide
attacks have shaken Pakistan. Last week,
a pair of suicide bombers blew them-
selves up in the Mohmand tribal region,
killing at least 102 people in the dead-
liest attack in the U.S.-allied nation this
year.

Iraqis take charge of last prison in U.S. control
BAGHDAD — Iraq assumed control of the last U.S.-run
prison camp in the country on Thursday, a milestone that casts
a spotlight on the Iraqi government’s troubled record of car-
ing for inmates amid allegations of torture and overcrowding
at Iraqi-run facilities.
The change in command at Camp Cropper — which was
renamed Karkh Prison — marks the end of a troubling chap-
ter in the U.S. presence in the country, which was marred in
the early years by photographs showing American soldiers
abusing inmates at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison.
It also raised questions about how well prepared the Iraqis
are to handle the detainees. Inmates in Iraqi detention facili-
ties have repeatedly complained about torture and beatings by
the police, as well as overcrowding and poor conditions
behind bars. Prisoners in U.S. custody, meanwhile, have ben-
efited from reforms in the wake of the 2004 Abu Ghraib scan-
dal.
At least 20 killed in bombings in southeast Iran
TEHRAN, Iran — Twin bombings killed at least 20 people
outside a mosque in southeastern Iran on Thursday — includ-
ing members of the powerful Revolutionary Guard — in
attacks that came less than a month after Iran hanged the
leader of a militant insurgent group in the region.
Iran’s official IRNA news agency quoted the deputy gover-
nor of the Sistan-Baluchistan province, Jalal Sayyah, as say-
ing the explosions tore through a crowd of Shiite worshippers
near the main mosque in the provincial capital of Zahedan.
The deputy interior minister in charge of security, Ali
Abdollahi, told the semiofficial Fars news agency that mem-
bers of the Revolutionary Guard — the country’s most pow-
erful military force — were killed in the blasts, which
appeared to be the work of suicide bombers.

Argentina legalizes gay marriage in historic vote

By Michael Warren
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina —
Argentina became the first Latin
American nation to legalize gay
marriage Thursday, granting same-
sex couples all the legal rights,
responsibilities and protections that
marriage brings to heterosexuals.
The law’s passage — a priority for
President Cristina Fernandez’s gov-
ernment — has inspired activists to
push for similar laws in other coun-
tries, and a wave of gay weddings
are expected in Buenos Aires. Some
gay business leaders are predicting
an economic ripple effect from an
increase in tourism among gays and
lesbians who will see Argentina as
an even more attractive destination.
But it also carries political risks
for Fernandez and her husband,
former President Nestor Kirchner.
The vote divided their governing
coalition, and while gay rights have
strong support in the capital, anti-
gay feelings still run strong in
much of Argentine society, where
the vast majority of people are
Roman Catholic.
“From today onward, Argentina is
a more just and democratic country,”
said Maria Rachid, president of the
Argentine Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual
and Transgender federation. The law
“not only recognizes the rights of
our families, but also the possibility
of having access to health care, to
leave a pension, to leave our assets
to the people with whom we have
shared many years of life, including
our children,” she said.
The 33-27 Senate vote was tallied
shortly before dawn, after a
marathon debate that touched on
religion, ethics, the legacy of
Argentina’s dictatorship and the
challenges of raising children. There
were three abstentions.
