Broadway By the Bay moving to Fox Theatre

In performance, timing is every-

And, when it came to Broadway
By the Bay finding a new home, the
longtime musical theater company
had luck on its side.

renovations, was interested in the

Supreme Court to hear case on selling violent video games to kids
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Support for a state law that would
ban the sale of ultra-violent video
games to children is growing, with
11 states submitting legal briefs
Monday to the U.S. Supreme Court
in support of California’s law.
The U.S. Supreme Court is
expected to hear the case sometime
after October, when foes of a law
authored by state Sen. Leland Yee,
D-San Francisco/San Mateo, submit
briefs to the court in opposition to
Yee’s bill.

were looking to sell and eventually

But in May, Eric Lochtefeld and a
group of investors bought the for-

restore it as a premier music and
performance destination — in
essence, providing the perfect venue
at the perfect time for Broadway by

‘Annie’ hits the jackpot
By Keith Kreitman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Having reviewed so many productions of
“Annie” over the years, you could imagine I
was less than thrilled needing to do another
one, this time by Broadway by the Bay at the
San Mateo Performing Arts Center. But, if I
hadn’t, I would have been much the poorer for
it. This was one of the best.
Of course, success much depends upon the
casting of any production and BBBay hit the
jackpot on this one. Maya Donato is a delight-
ful Annie and Curt Denham may be the best
Daddy Warbucks of my experience. As the
humorously cruel Miss Hannigan, Cami
Thompson is one of the showstoppers, as are
the dancing and singing Orphan Girls, a dar-
ling Molly (Claire Lentz), Kate (Caroline
Douglass), Tessie (Pyper Hayden), July
(Lauren Madden), Pepper (Jenna Herz) and
Duffy (Corinne Burkert). What a winning
bunch of young actresses! The best of any
“Annie” I’ve ever seen.
Backing up those leads are Juliet Heller as
Grace Farrell, Warbucks faithful secretary,
who fell in love with Annie and chose her to
come to the mansion, even though Warbucks
was expecting a boy; Noel Anthony as
Rooster, Hannigan’s no-good brother and
Brittany Ogle as his floozy girlfriend, Lily St.
Regis. Don Cima does a believable President
Franklin Roosevelt. And, Ryan Halprin is
Drake, the butler at the mansion. Even Scooter
does a bang up job as Sandy, Annie’s
foundling dog. (At least he doesn’t try to run
off of the stage as so many other Sandys I
have known.)
Of course, by this time, just about everyone
should know the story of Little Orphan Annie,
who was left by her parents at a New York
orphanage as an infant. In the Great
Depression year of 1933, she had grown to
age 11 and is the respected leader of the other
orphan girls in her dormitory. She had never

given up hope that her parents would come
back to retrieve her.
Through a happenstance, out of the control
of the ditzy, alcoholic and cruel Hannigan, she
ends up as a Christmas guest at the mansion of
the famed, intense and high-powered billion-
aire Oliver Warbucks, who falls in love with
this child (who wouldn’t) and sets about try-
ing to adopt her.
The complication is that Annie’s parents
may still be alive and a search is initiated by
Warbucks at a very great expense. Hannigan’s
brother and his moll set about phonying the
roles and trying to collect the $50,000 reward.

School survey results to be shared
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Opinions from 800 people on the possi-
bility of passing a bond measure or parcel
tax in the San Mateo Union High School
District will go before the Board of
Trustees tonight.
Earlier this month, the San Mateo
Union High School District Board of
Trustees entered into two contracts both
aimed at gauging public opinion about
possible tax measures. The San Mateo
Union High School District is interested
in either a bond or a parcel tax measure to
help with finances. Both could help in dif-
ferent ways. But if the district wants the
revenue measures on the ballot this
November, it only has until Aug. 6 to
make that decision. Tonight, the board
will hear the results of a recent phone poll
regarding the two measures.
Under the $35,000 contract, Godbe
Research conducted 800 18-minute sur-
veys — 400 about a bond measure, 400
about a parcel tax. At the same time,
TBW&B worked under a 21-day contract
for $7,500 to help refine wording of ques-
tions and the district’s message.
After results are shared, the board will
direct staff about possibly putting a meas-
ure on an upcoming ballot.
Each tax would have different possible
benefits for the district.
Conversations about a parcel tax have
often been linked to cover the cost of the

Oakland to consider licensing pot farms
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The Oakland
City Council is considering a plan to
license four production plants where
marijuana would be grown, packaged
and processed.
City leaders are expected to vote
Tuesday. If the measure passes, it would
still need to be approved on a final vote.
Such a move would make Oakland the
first city in the nation to license whole-
sale pot cultivation.
The measure’s supporters say it could
generate millions of dollars for Oakland
in taxes and sales, create hundreds of
jobs and position Oakland to reap divi-
dends if voters pass a November initia-
tive to legalize recreational use of mari-
juana.
Opponents say it would drive small
growers out of business.

Police: Alleged freeway shooter was targeting ACLU
OAKLAND — A California man known for his anger over
left-leaning politics said after a freeway shootout with CHP
officers that he had been planning an attack on the ACLU and
another nonprofit group, police said Tuesday.
Byron Williams, 45, a parolee with two previous bank rob-
bery convictions, wanted to “start a revolution” by killing peo-
ple at the American Civil Liberties Union and Tides
Foundation, both in San Francisco, Oakland police Sgt.
Michael Weisenberg said in court documents.
The weekend shootout occurred during a 24-hour span in
Oakland when a sniper shot at police officers from a high-rise
building, and a Virginia man who had a job interview in the San
Francisco Bay area was fatally shot in downtown Oakland by
robbers who got away with just $17.
The spate of violence came just a week after budget problems
led Oakland to lay off 80 police officers.
The Oakland Police Department is leading the investigation
into the shootout, but no city officers were involved in the inci-
dent that occurred on Interstate 580.

Fiorina changing
stance on benefits
for unemployment
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Republican Senate can-
didate Carly Fiorina on Tuesday shifted her
position on extending unemployment benefits,
saying she would “proba-
bly” support the extension
if she were in the Senate.
In an interview with San
Francisco’s KGO-AM
radio, Fiorina said she
would probably break with
members of her party.
Senate Democrats on
Carly Fiorina Tuesday were helped by a
newly sworn senator and
broke through a GOP filibuster in Washington,
D.C., in their effort to extend jobless benefits
to 2.5 million Americans. The effort initially
failed last month. “I probably would vote for
this extension, but I’ll tell you what, I think it
is absolutely appropriate for people to stand on
their desks and say, ’When is it that we’re
finally going to do what needs to be done and
cut government spending?”’ Fiorina said.
Earlier this month, the former Hewlett
Packard chief executive said she opposed the
extension because it would worsen the nation-
al deficit. Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer had
been using Fiorina’s position to attack her as
out of touch with average workers.
“For so many weeks, more than 200,000
Californians have been waiting desperately for
this bill to help them through these tough
times, and for weeks, Carly Fiorina has said no
to these California families,” said Boxer’s
campaign manager, Rose Kapolczynski.

SUV crashes through
garage,driver uninjured
A driver who lost control of his
sport utility vehicle and crashed
through a garage in Pacifica on
Monday night escaped without
injury, police said.
The accident was reported at about
10 p.m. at a condominium complex
near Hickey Boulevard and
Beachview Avenue.
Officers arrived to find a red 2000
Chevrolet Blazer resting against a
home at 278 Beachview Ave., with
the driver still inside.
The driver, a 25-year-old San
Mateo man, was traveling west on
Hickey Boulevard when he lost con-
trol of the SUV and crashed into a
detached garage, police said.
SUV went into the garage,
slammed into a car parked inside and
came out through the garage’s side-
wall. The vehicle continued into a
front patio area before coming to rest
against the front wall of the home,
police said.
The accident caused major damage
to the residence, garage and the
parked car. Nobody in the condo-
minium was injured.
The driver was treated at the scene
by paramedics and taken to San
Francisco General Hospital. It was
later determined that he was unin-
jured. The cause of the crash remains
under investigation, police said.
DA’s offices settle overcharging
suit with Sears,Kmart
The parent company of Sears and
Kmart stores reached a $1.1 million
settlement Monday with five Bay
Area district attorney’s offices that
alleged the stores charged customers
more than the advertised prices on
items offered for sale.
Prosecutors from Marin, Alameda,
Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Sonoma and
Los Angeles counties filed the suit
against the Sears Holdings Corp. in
Marin County Superior Court. The
company owns Sears, Roebuck & Co.
and Kmart Corp.
The suit was filed after regular
inspections by the California
Department of Agriculture’s Division
of Measurement Standards and the
counties’ Departments of Weights
and Measures disclosed that price
scanners at the stores’ registers were
charging more than the lowest adver-
tised prices.
The complaint also alleged that
Kmart stores charged consumers
more than the California Redemption
Value for beverage containers under
Local briefs
the California Beverage Container
Recycling and Litter Reduction Act.
Sears and Kmart cooperated with
the investigation without admitting
wrongdoing and have since instituted
new policies and procedures to
improve pricing accuracy, according
to the Marin County District
Attorney’s Office.
“In these harsh economic times, it
becomes imperative that we diligent-
ly ensure a fair marketplace in
California by enforcing price accura-
cy laws,” Marin County District
Attorney Ed Berberian said.
“Consumers should always watch
as items are scanned at the register
and check receipts to verify that they
are charged the correct price,”
Sonoma County Assistant District
Attorney Diana Gomez said.
The settlement also requires Sears
and Kmart stores to implement addi-
tional audit and price accuracy proce-
dures in its California stores for three
years.

Chief: Capped well is holding up
By Colleen Long
and Frederic J. Frommer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — The govern-
ment’s oil spill chief tried to tamp
down fears Tuesday that BP’s
capped well is buckling under the
pressure, saying that seepage detect-
ed along the sea floor less than two
miles away is coming from an older
well no longer in production.
Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad
Allen also said at least five leaks
have been discovered around the
well machinery, but he dismissed
them as “very small drips” — “not
unlike an oil leak you might have in
your car.”
Over the past few days, since a
75-ton cap was placed over the
mile-deep well to keep the oil bot-
tled up inside, BP and government
engineers have been watching close-
ly to see whether the well would
hold tight or show signs of rupturing
under the pressure. A rupture could
cause a bigger and harder-to-control
disaster.
Allen has granted BP repeated 24-
hour extensions to keep the cap in
place, as long as the company mon-
itors the well scrupulously.
Meanwhile, the end game in the
three-month crisis appeared to be
drawing closer, with BP vice presi-
dent Kent Wells saying the drilling
of the relief well — necessary to
permanently plug up the well — is
on track. He said crews hope to drill
sideways into the blown-out well
and intercept it at the end of July.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — So vast is
the wealth of natural gas locked into
dense rock deep beneath
Pennsylvania, New York, West
Virginia and Ohio that some geolo-
gists estimate it’s enough to supply
the entire East Coast for 50 years.
But freeing it requires a powerful
drilling process called hydraulic

lions of gallons of water brewed
with toxic chemicals, that some fear

Relief effort failing, Filibuster broken,jobless
foreclosure risks rise benefits may flow soon
By Alan Zibel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Obama adminis-
tration’s effort to help those at risk of losing
their homes is failing to aid many and could
spur a rise in foreclosures that would further
depress the housing industry.
More foreclosures would force down home
prices and that would deter already-ailing
homebuilders from starting new projects.
As a result, the economic rebound could
suffer. Each new home built creates, on aver-
age, the equivalent of three jobs for a year
and generates about $90,000 in taxes paid to
local and federal authorities, according to the
National Association of Home Builders.
“Foreclosures hold down the pricing for
everybody,” said Marty Mitchell, vice chief
executive officer of Mitchell & Best Home
Builders in Rockville, Md. “As a builder, we
NATION
have to be cognizant of foreclosures, if there
are more coming along, because it affects
pricing across the board.”
Home construction plunged in June to the
lowest level since October, the Commerce
Department said Tuesday. Driving the
decline was a more than 20 percent drop in
condominium and apartment construction, a
small but volatile portion of the housing mar-
ket. Construction of single-family homes, the
largest part of the market, was essentially
flat.
Applications for building permits, a sign of
future activity, were up slightly. But that was
also the result of the volatile apartment mar-
ket.
The home construction report was released
one day after the National Association of
Home Builders said its monthly reading of
builders’ sentiment about the housing market
sank to the lowest level since March 2009.

WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats
broke through a stubborn Republican fili-
buster Tuesday and pressed to restart jobless
benefits for 2 1/2 million Americans still
unable to find work in the frail national eco-
nomic recovery. The Democrats were victori-
ous by the single vote of a new senator sworn
in only moments earlier.
Senators voted 60-40 to move ahead on the
bill, clearing the way for a final vote in the
chamber on Wednesday.
The recovery from the nation’s long and
deep recession has produced relatively few
new jobs so far, and millions of people’s
unemployment benefits began running out
seven weeks ago as Congress bogged down in
an impasse over whether the $34 billion cost
of a fresh extension of benefits should be paid
for with budget cuts or be added to the $13
trillion national debt.
Democrats emphasized the plight of the
unemployed and argued that putting money in
the pockets of jobless families would also
boost economic revival.
“This bill is about jobs because unemploy-
ment insurance goes to people who will spend
it immediately,” said Sen. Max Baucus, D-
Mont. “That would increase economic
demand. And that would help support our
fragile economic recovery.”
But the numbers are far smaller than last
year’s $862 billion stimulus legislation.
Republicans have blocked Democratic add-
ons, such as aid to state governments.
“It’s too small to have any noticeable impact
on the economy’s growth rate,” said Joel
Naroff, president of Naroff Economic
Advisors. “But the benefits do provide an
important safety net for people during these
difficult economic times.”
The economy has added 882,000 jobs so far
this year — but many of those were only tem-
porary positions as the federal government
geared up to conduct the U.S. Census.
Many Republicans have voted in the past
for deficit-financed benefits extension —
including twice under the most recent Bush
administration. But with the deficit well in
excess of $1 trillion, they now say it should be
paid for with cuts elsewhere in the $3.7 trillion
federal budget.
“We’ve repeatedly voted for similar bills in
the past. And we are ready to support one
now,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell, R-Ky.

Unemployment
rate down in 39
states last month
By Christopher S. Rigaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The unemployment
rate fell in most states in June, mainly
because more people gave up searching for
work and were no longer counted.
Fewer states saw job increases, the latest
evidence that the economic recovery is
slowing.
The jobless rate declined in 39 states and
Washington, D.C. last month, the Labor
Department said Tuesday. That’s a slight
improvement from May, when 37 states saw
their rates decline.
But only 21 states saw net job gains in
June, the government said. That compared
to 41 the previous month and is the fewest
this year.
The decline in job creation reflects the
layoff of thousands of temporary census
workers. Those jobs inflated total payrolls
in May and then reduced them in June.
Still, the report also indicated that busi-
nesses aren’t hiring many new workers.
Nationwide, private employers added a net
gain of only 83,000 jobs last month. The
national unemployment rate dropped to 9.5
percent in June from 9.7 percent the previ-
ous month, as about 650,000 people
stopped looking for work.
New York’s unemployment rate fell to 8.2
percent from 8.3 percent the previous
month. But the state lost 8,500 private-sec-
tor jobs, the second-straight decline in pri-
vate employment. California’s unemploy-
ment rate also declined, but the state gained
just 1,300 private-sector jobs.
Wisconsin, meanwhile, saw its jobless
rate fall to 7.9 percent from 8.2 percent the
previous month. But the state’s work force
fell by 13,600, suggesting the decline was
the result of people giving up job hunts.
Furthermore, the state lost 1,000 private-
sector jobs last month.
Nevada, battered by a housing slump and
a drop in tourism, posted the nation’s high-
est unemployment rate of 14.2 percent.
That’s the state’s highest since records
began in 1976.

Uncivil liberties?
E
ach year, after the Bay to
Breakers race, we’re
stunned by the reports of the
behavior of many of the participants
who scatter their offal and excre-
ment along the route. Most of us
can’t imagine that so many people
can be so selfish and devoid of any
conscience and unaware of how such
actions affect others. The inconven-
ience for the people who live along
the route and the cost of the cleanup
don’t seem to register. Obviously,
drugs and alcohol are involved, but
that’s no excuse for behaving so irre-
sponsibly.
Consider some more mundane
examples of such behavior. The car
opposite you at a signal abruptly
turns left in front of you when the
light turns green. He did not signal,
had one hand on the steering wheel
and the other holding a cell phone to
his ear. A little old lady carrying sev-
eral packages approaches the exit of
Penneys. As she gets ready to open
the door, a young woman hurries
around her and through the door and
then allows it to close in the lady’s
face. Everyone on your block keeps
their front yards regularly mowed
and/or trimmed except a few home-
owners whose littered and over-
grown yards are constant eyesores.
I’m sure you can think of others.
So what is happening to civility,
thoughtfulness and manners? Why
does it seem that there are so many
more people who care about nothing
but themselves? Is there anything
that can be done to help prevent
such disrespectful behavior other
‘Share the Road’the message on the street
By Irvin Dawid
I
f you’ve driven, ridden or even
walked along California Drive
between the Millbrae and
Burlingame Caltrain stations recent-
ly, you should have noticed new
engravings in the street that show
the bicycle icon along with two,
directional arrows. Known as shar-
rows, they are put there to send a
message to driver and bicyclist alike
— “Share the Road.” They also indi-
cate the correct direction for cyclists
to travel, i.e. always ride with the
flow of traffic, not against it.
Sharrows are a relatively new
symbol for transportation planners,
having first been introduced in San
Francisco in 2005, but have expand-
ed rapidly to cities throughout the
country. They are generally used on
streets where striped bike lanes are
not possible or advised. Yet those
same streets provide key bike routes,
and are often placed on county bicy-
cle maps, as is the case with
Burlingame’s California Drive.
While the message to the motorist
is clearly to expect cyclists to be
using the road, the placement of the
sharrow itself is critical because it
indicates where the cyclist should be
riding. Don’t expect the cyclist to be
riding on the extreme right-hand

than shutting down the race? Are
those types who defile the route and
barge in front of us becoming the
norm?
A recent newspaper editorial listed
self-absorption, loss of community, a
sense of being too crowded and a
feeling of anonymity as some of the
reasons for such blatant disregard for
others. But what’s behind this indif-
ference? Could it stem from a cul-
ture that basically values interests
other than the welfare of its citizens
and glorifies self-indulgence and
greed? As we all have been caught
up in the whirlwind of consumerism
and instant gratification, are we
increasingly losing sight of the
importance of modeling for our chil-
dren standards of behavior that pro-
mote civility and community?
Parents who try to counteract our
cultural proclivity toward selfishness
and greed have their work cut out
for them. And with the time crunch
that affects many families and the
way some parents seem to think that
their kids can raise themselves, it
seems we are producing fewer peo-
ple who develop enough self respect
to feel concern for others.
Dana Chidekel, Ph.D, covers this

behavior that draws us apart.
The attitude of “I don’t need you,

a door open while a cyclist is riding
alongside, the result can, and often
has been, tragic.
I read of one such incident in
March — the cyclist was from my
high school, graduating just two
years ahead of me, so I took special
notice (see “Dooring Claims Bronx
Cyclist”;
http://www.planetizen.com/node/434
16). Even though 57-year-old
Megan Charlop was an experienced
cyclist, she found herself within the
“door zone.” This tragedy was pre-
ventable — had the motorist looked
before opening the door, had Megan
biked more toward the center of the
road. Even if motorists would have
to slow down to pass her, or move to
an adjacent lane, Megan would not
have swerved to avoid an opening
door into the path of a city bus.
Closer to home, on May 19, the
tragic circumstances repeated them-
selves on Oakland’s MacArthur
Boulevard, as Erik Fitzpatrick, 35,
swerved to avoid an opening door
into the path of an AC Transit bus.
Motorists and cyclists need to be
reminded that the California
Vehicle Code (CVC 21202) specif-
ically allows a cyclist to “take the
lane” should safety conditions
warrant it. Narrow lanes and the
presence of parked cars present
two such conditions.
Since the Redwood City leaders
dislike the sheriff’s plan of building
a new jail in the downtown area, I
have a solution. The new jail could
be built in the wetlands currently
coveted by realtors, developers and
Cagill corporate interests.
Surrounded by restored marshes, it
would be almost escape proof and

Stocks struggle higher

NEW YORK — Investors are trying to
get a read on the economy using earn-
ings reports. They’re finding it’s not so
easy.
The result Tuesday was yet another
erratic day of stock trading. The Dow
Jones industrial average rose 75 points
after having fallen 140 in early trading in
response to a series of disappointing rev-
enue reports. Analysts were hard-
pressed to come up with a reason for the
turnaround. But trading was extremely
light, and that tends to skew stock prices.
Analysts said some investors were get-
ting a little more upbeat as they awaited
earnings reports from Yahoo Inc. and
Apple Inc. after the close. But those
reports came in mixed, just like those
from the many companies that have also
reported second-quarter results. Apple’s
stock surged in after-hours trading, but
Yahoo fell. Like IBM Corp., Johnson &
Johnson and Goldman Sachs Inc., its
revenue fell short of expectations.
Investors have been quick to sell on
Wall Street
even a whiff of bad news. Early Tuesday,
they were motivated by the reports from
IBM, J&J and Goldman. Investors have
been focusing on revenue rather than
bottom-line earnings because of the link
between companies’ sales and the econ-
omy. If revenue is down because con-
sumers aren’t spending, that’s a sign that
the economy could remain weak.
Investors seem to have decided as
Tuesday wore on that earnings didn’t
look quite as bad as they first thought.
Analysts noted that Goldman’s drop in
revenue was similar to those reported by
JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc.
and Bank of America Corp. Their rev-
enue fell not because of a weak econo-
my, but because their customers decided
to avoid the financial markets’ turbu-
lence during the spring.
Some analysts said there were techni-
cal factors involved in the market’s
moves.
“Investors may have been anticipating
the market heading back to early July
lows so when it didn’t fall apart in early
trading, they slowly came back in,” said
Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist
at RDM Financial Group in Westport,
Conn.
Those investors were looking at charts
that track the movements of indicators
including the Standard & Poor’s 500.
When the S&P reaches, or doesn’t reach,
a specific level, that can prompt
investors to buy or sell.
It was hard to predict what turn trading
might take Wednesday. Yahoo and Apple
are considered indicators of the overall
economy, but their mixed results weren’t
giving investors a clear-cut direction for
stocks.
The Dow rose 75.53, or 0.7 percent, to
10,229.96. The broader Standard &
Poor’s 500 index rose 12.23, or 1.1 per-
cent, to 1,083.48 and the Nasdaq com-
posite index rose 24.26, or 1.1 percent,
to 2,222.49.
Advancing stocks were ahead of losers
by 4 to 1 on the New York Stock
Exchange, where consolidated volume
came to an extremely light 1.7 billion
shares, up from Monday’s 4.1 billion.

Yahoo’s 2Q results let down investors

By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Yahoo Inc.’s
turnaround effort wavered in the second
quarter as the Internet company’s paltry
revenue growth overshadowed a surge in
net income.
The results released Tuesday could
cause some investors to doubt the strate-
gy of Yahoo’s no-nonsense CEO, Carol
Bartz, who was hired 18 months ago to
lead the company out of a prolonged
financial funk that has depressed its
stock. Yahoo shares dropped more than 6
percent in response to the latest signs of
lethargy.
Bartz has been able to boost Yahoo’s
earnings by cutting costs by about 10
percent, but so far hasn’t been able to
produce the dramatic revenue gains that

Apple fiscal third quarter

net income jumps 78 pct.
By Jessica Mintz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE — Apple Inc. blew past expectations when report-

ing results for its latest quarter on Tuesday, and reported selling
almost as many iPads as it sold Mac computers.
Apple said its fiscal third-quarter net income rose 78 percent,
thanks to sales of its iPhone and the new iPad tablet computer.
Revenue for the April-to-June period rose 61 percent from
last year to $15.7 billion, making it the company highest quar-
terly revenue ever, even beating the latest holiday season.
Net income jumped to $3.25 billion, or $3.51 per share, from
$1.8 billion, or $2.01 per share a year ago.
That’s better than Wall Street expected. Analysts surveyed by
Thomson Reuters had forecast net income of $3.11 per share on
$14.7 billion in revenue.
Apple said it sold about 3.3 million iPads in the gadget’s first
three months on the market.

Business brief
Toyota subpoenaed by U.S. grand jury over steering
NEW YORK — A federal grand jury in New York has sub-
poenaed Toyota’s U.S. subsidiaries for documents related to
problems with rods that connect a vehicle’s steering to its front
wheels, the automaker said Tuesday.
The subpoena is the latest legal problem to confront the
automaker. It also faces hundreds of lawsuits from consumers
over the company’s unintended acceleration recalls, the drop in
its stock price and lower resale value of its cars and trucks.
Steve Curtis, a spokesman for Toyota’s U.S. subsidiary in
Torrance, Calif., declined to offer more details on the subpoena,
referring to a statement saying the company intends to cooper-
ate with the investigation. The company continues to cooperate
with previous requests for documents as well, he said.

NHL rejects Kovalchuk’s 17-year contract

NEWARK, N.J. — The NHL

Hillsborough bounced
By Emanuel Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
FREMONT — It was an unfamiliar position
for the Hillsborough 11-12-year-old All-Stars
in which to be.
Instead of pounding the opposition, they
were being dominated. Instead of producing
the big hit, they were coming up empty.
Instead of playing a clean game defensively,
they committed some uncharacteristic errors.
It all added up to a 13-5 loss to Tracy in an
elimination game of the Section 3 tournament
on Tuesday at Gomes Elementary School.
“It was a great ride,” said Hillsborough’s
R.J. Waldsmith, who is ending his eight-year
managerial run with the Hillsborough All-Star
program, having spent four years with the 9-
10-year-olds, one with the 10-11s and the last
three with the 11-12s. “I thought our team
played about as well as we could, but we just
played a really good team with hard throwers.
They burned their top three guys (pitching-
wise), and they brought in three more guys
today who probably throw faster than our top
guys. It’s just good pitching and good pitching
always beats good hitting.”
Hillsborough started section play Saturday
with a tough 4-2 loss to San Ramon, which
needs to be beaten twice by Tracy to lose the
championship. Hillsborough went 0 for 13
with runners in scoring position, and left 11
runners on base. Unfortunately, Tuesday was a
repeat performance.
Hillsborough stranded nine runners on base
and more often than not, came up short in
clutch situations. Nowhere was that more
apparent than in the bottom of the fourth
inning. Tracy had just ripped off five runs to
take a 8-4 lead after Hillsborough had scored
three times in the third to take its only lead of
the contest.
Given a chance to respond, Hillsborough
loaded the bases with one out. But a strikeout
and fly out sealed its fate and Tracy scored four
more runs in the fifth and one more in the sixth
to win going away.
It was an impressive performance consider-
ing Hillsborough hadn’t lost by more than four
runs since All-Star play began. But Tracy was

Not guilty plea
for ex-Raider
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOBILE, Ala. — Former Oakland Raiders
quarterback JaMarcus Russell pleaded not
guilty to a charge of illegal drug possession
Tuesday in Alabama.
Russell, 24, is a former LSU star who was
released by Oakland after being the No. 1
draft choice in 2007. He entered the plea in
court in Mobile. He is charged with felony
possession of a controlled
substance, codeine syrup.
Authorities have said
that he did not have a pre-
scription for the drug and
that he was arrested July 5
at his home as part of an
undercover investigation.
His attorney, Donald
Briskman, said in a phone
JaMarcus interview that there were
Russell about nine or 10 people in
the house and that he
believes once all the evidence is known,
Russell will be exonerated.
Russell, a prep star in Mobile, had no com-
ment after his court appearance. He has been
free on $2,500 bond.
Briskman said he asked for an early hearing
in order for Russell to get the case behind him
and renew his effort to play professional foot-
ball. A hearing in his case is set for Aug. 11 to
determine if there is enough evidence to send
the case to a grand jury.
One of the NFL’s biggest No. 1 draft busts,
Russell completed just 52.1 percent of his
passes in his career, with 18 touchdowns, 23
interceptions and 15 lost fumbles. He won
only seven of 25 starts.

NCAA puts schools,agents on notice
By Noah Trister
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Southern California was slapped with a
two-year bowl ban last month. Now North
Carolina, South Carolina and Florida are
acknowledging that the NCAA has taken a
look at their athletic departments.
All four situations appear to involve possi-
ble wrongdoing involving athletes and agents.
Is the NCAA suddenly cracking down on
this sometimes-seamy side of college athlet-
ics?
Rachel Newman-Baker, director of agent,
gambling and amateurism activities for the
NCAA, won’t go that far. But she said the
organization believes it is making progress.
“I think people are kind of tired of sitting
around and watching some of these abuses,
and so I think you’re starting to see that
there’s more and more people that are willing
to talk,” she said. “I do think we have been
able in the last couple years to develop much
stronger information related to potential vio-
lations. ... People understand that something
will be done with that information, and they
feel comfortable sharing it.”
The NCAA clearly welcomes help from
would-be whistle-blowers, in part because

Tug-of-war in your mouth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
For Daisy Martinez, a great burger does a
bit of tug-of-war in your mouth.
“I always like to put together flavors that
complement as well as contrast each other.
This concept is especial-
ly important when creat-
ing a burger because you
should experience that
’kapow factor’ with each
and every bite,” she said
in an e-mail.
So for her contribution
to AP’s 20 Burgers of
Summer series,
Martinez sought a bal-
ance of salty and sweet,
J.M. HIRSCH which she satisfied by
pairing grilled fresh figs
with serrano ham.
“It was a short leap then to add the piquan-
cy of a Cabrales blue (cheese), which comple-
ments the beef component of the burger,” she
said. “Can you say ’party on my plate’?”
Martinez is a big believer in big flavor in
her burgers, and over the years says she has
enjoyed many variations, including ones
made from Kobe beef and seafood, even veg-
gie varieties. But in the end, her blueprint for
a great burger goes back to her childhood.
“Some of my fondest hamburger memories
involve making homemade patties with my
dad when I was little. He would season them
with salt, fresh ground pepper and onion pow-
der, then we would grill them over charcoal
briquettes in our backyard, and the result was
a slightly charred burger on the outside that
was pink and juicy on the inside,” she said.
For the topping, it was beefsteak tomatoes
and lettuce fresh from her mother’s garden, as
well as her “salsa golf” (a mayo-ketchup
blend).
“That was a little bit of heaven, right there
on our plate,” she said. “Nothing compares to
the burgers of my youth, made with love by
Mom and Dad.”

Daisy Martinez is a big believer in big flavor in her burgers, and over the years says she has
enjoyed many variations,including ones made from Kobe beef and seafood,even veggie varieties.
4 large hamburger buns
1/4 pound Cabrales or other blue cheese,
crumbled
1/4 pound serrano ham, thinly sliced (pro-
sciutto also can be used)
Form the beef into 4 equal patties, then sea-
son each with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, stir the mayonnaise with
the lemon zest. Set aside.
In a large skillet over high, add the water,
olive oil and onions. Cook until the water is
completely evaporated, then reduce the heat
to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until
golden brown and completely caramelized.
Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Heat a grill to medium-high. Coat the grates
with cooking spray.
Place the beef patties on the grill, cover and
cook for about 3 1/2 minutes per side for
medium-rare.
Season the figs with pepper, then place on
the grill cut-side up. Place the buns on the
grill cut-side up, as well. Sprinkle the bottom
halves of the buns with the blue cheese. Cover
the grill and cook for 1 minute.
To assemble, place each beef patty on a bun
half with the melted cheese. Top with 2 slices
of ham, 2 grilled fig halves and a dollop of the
caramelized onions. Spread the remaining
toasted bun halves with lemon mayonnaise,
then top the burger.

A couscous salad

By Jim Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
To combat lunch bag boredom, you need to
straddle that fine line between exciting and
familiar, which is just what this toasted cous-
cous BLT salad does.
Exotic, large pearl couscous gets dressed
up with all the ingredients of that perennial
favorite — the bacon, lettuce and tomato
sandwich — and tossed in a lemony dressing
to create a packable salad that will appeal to
the whole family.
TOASTED COUSCOUS BLT SALAD
Start to finish: 35 minutes (20 minutes
active)
Servings: 4
6 ounces bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch
strips
1/2 cup large pearl couscous
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups chopped iceberg lettuce
2 cups diced fresh tomatoes
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
In a medium saucepan over medium, cook
the bacon, stirring often, until crisp, about 10
minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the
bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to
drain. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the
bacon fat from the saucepan.
Return the saucepan to the stove over medi-
um-high. Add the couscous and toast, stirring
often, until lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
Spread the toasted couscous on a baking
sheet to cool for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, to make the dressing, in a
small bowl, whisk together the vinegar,
lemon juice and mustard. While whisking
vigorously, drizzle in the olive oil. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the lettuce and
tomatoes.
When the couscous has cooled, transfer to
the bowl with the lettuce and tomatoes. Add
the reserved bacon and dressing, then toss
well to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately or store, covered, in the
refrigerator for up to 1 day.

A healthy makeover for peanut noodles
By Jim Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Cold peanut noodles already are among
the healthier choices when it comes to Asian
takeout, yet there still is plenty of room for
improvement.
While nuts are an excellent protein and
can be part of a healthful diet, peanut butter
is relatively high in fat and calories. Plus, if
you’re counting carbs, the noodles won’t do
you any favors.
But turning this decadent noodle dish into
a meal rich in nutrients, complex carbohy-
drates and healthier fats is easy when you
make it from scratch.

And don’t get stuck on shape; any variety of
whole-grain pasta can be substituted.
Next, the sauce is made with almond but-
ter (for the extra nutritional punch they offer
over peanut butter) spiked with tangy lime
juice, spicy chili-garlic sauce and minced
fresh ginger.
The sauce gets thinned a bit with some of
the pasta cooking water, which helps curb
fat and calories while adding some starch
for improved coating power and a smoother
texture.
Finally, the entire dish gets a nutri-
tional bonus with the addition of a sub-
stantial amount of filling, low-in-calo-
rie, but high-in-nutrient vegetables,
which for convenience are cooked in the
simple matters but should be addressed.
Charter Learning Center Director
Christopher Mahoney agreed.
“We’ve always valued our relationship with
the district. This conversation should only fur-
ther strengthen it,” said Mahoney.
The working agreement ended before the
last school year. A clause allowed for the two
to work under the last agreement while work-
ing on a new one. Conversations began in
October. Since then, a number of issues arose
that required input from boards overseeing
both the district and the school.
California became the second state to allow
charter schools in 1992, behind Minnesota.
Originally, a 100-school limit was placed on
such schools. San Carlos became the first to
open a charter school with the San Carlos
Charter Learning Center, which was granted a

As the first school, the relationship is addi-

The unique position requires both sides to set

Facilities, for example, were never an issue

Fundraising is another interesting topic.
The San Carlos Education Foundation rais-

including the Charter Learning Center. Each
school site can then do additional fundraising
for on-site supplemental income. The Charter
Learning Center has aggressively taken on
revenue-generating ideas like creating busi-

Olbert has heard parents commend the

French fries in a sandwich?
Why not? We aimed for kid-friendly
creativity when crafting these delicious-
ly different sandwiches for back to
school. French fries stand in for the
mashed potatoes and stuffing on our
Thanksgiving sandwich (and may be just
crazy enough for little ones to love). If
you’d prefer a healthier version, use
sweet potato fries.
Speaking of crazy ingredients, we
went with waffles instead of bread when
we rethought the classic ham and
cheese. We also suggest serving it with a
small container of maple syrup for dunk-
ing. And if popcorn wedged into the cen-
ter of a PB&J doesn’t do it for you, try
pretzels or potato chips.

PB&J with French toast
By J.M. Hirsch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The constant hunt for new and exciting lunches to pack for
my son has led to some pretty creative experiments.
The fried egg and cheddar on whole wheat was a flop. Cold
sirloin and cold carbonara were hits. Your basic grilled cheese
got a lukewarm reception. Even with the addition of ham. But
peanut butter and pretzel sandwiches have become a standard
item.
And that got me thinking about your basic peanut butter and
jelly sandwich. If you can grill a cheese sandwich, why not a
PB&J? So I tried it with a bit of butter in the skillet and it was
a huge hit, especially once I added a bit of cinnamon to the but-
ter. Warm melty peanut butter and sweet jam. What’s not to
love?
Riffing on that was how I came up with this cross between a
grilled peanut butter and jelly and French toast. I simply made
a classic PB&J, soaked it in egg, then fried it on both sides.
Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar and you’ve got a little bit of
heaven.
FRENCH TOAST PB&J
Start to finish: 10 minutes
Servings: 1
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt
2 slices whole-wheat bread
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon fruit jam
1 tablespoon butter
Powdered sugar
In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, cin-
namon and salt.
Use the bread, peanut butter and jam to make a peanut but-
ter and jam sandwich. Spread half of the peanut butter on each
slice of bread. This helps the sandwich hold together.
Soak the sandwich in the egg mixture for 2 minutes per side,
pressing it gently with a fork to help it absorb the egg.
Heat a medium skillet over medium. Add the butter. When
the butter has melted, add the sandwich and fry for 2 minutes,
or until the bottom is lightly browned. Use a spatula to flip the
sandwich, then cover the skillet and cook for another 2 min-
utes, or until browned on the second side.
Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar.

The American Academy of Pediatrics
and the California Psychological
Association also submitted a brief of ami-
cus curiae or “friend of the court” in sup-
port of Yee’s bill, citing mounds of evi-
dence that indicate the causal relationship
between playing ultra-violent video
games and violent behavior among chil-
dren.
Yee, who is also a child psychologist,
was in the state Assembly when he
authored the bill.
Attorney General Jerry Brown submit-
ted the state’s written argument in support
of Yee’s bill last week and it received
bipartisan support in the Legislature
before being signed into law.
At the heart of the issue is the question
of whether the First Amendment permit
statutory limits on the sale and rental of
violent video games to minors when com-
pelling reasons exist to support such state
restrictions, including hundreds of studies

after engaging Warner in conversation
and upsetting her boyfriend, Sargentini,
according to police.
When Half Moon Bay police arrived
on scene, the victim was in a neighbor-
ing restaurant being treated by medical
personnel. Several witnesses were inter-
viewed on the scene, according to
police.
The victim was having a conversation
with Warner, who was driving a light-
colored Chrysler sedan, when Sargentini
confronted the victim for talking to the
woman at the gas station, according to
police.
A physical altercation ensued and the
suspect pulled out a handgun and shot
the victim. The suspect hopped back into
the Chrysler and the vehicle fled the area

Broadway can serve up wine or other
types of alcohol.
“Now there will be the full theater
experience,” Gardia said.
Theater-goers will also be in closer
proximity to restaurants and can better
walk or train to the venue.
The Fox Theatre seats 1,400 compared
to the performing arts center’s 1,600 but
the stage is pretty much a traditional
Broadway house size and ticket prices
will not change, Gardia said.
Aside from keeping the current audi-
ence happy, Gardia is hopefully the
more southern location will draw new
faces from that segment of the county
and beyond.
Lochtefeld said he had no comment on
what the move means for his newly

The big musical numbers:
“Tomorrow” and “Easy Street,” still res-
onate in the memory, as does the scene
in the NBC radio studios where
Warbucks voices a clumsy plea for the
return of Annie’s parents. The obnox-
ious host Bert Healy (San Mateo High
School’s Shaun Repetto) and his singing
The Boylan Sisters (Lauren Hart, Lexi
Hart and Sophia Rose Morris) do injus-
tice to the song “You’re never fully
dressed without a smile.”
The only negative of any production
pointing to harmful effects on children?
The International Game Developers
Association, however, fought hard against
Yee’s bill previously and urged
Schwarzenegger to veto it.
The IGDA advocates for the rights of
game developers by lobbying govern-
ments who try to censor or regulate the
creativity of game developers. The IGDA
opposes any effort that would treat video
games differently from other forms of art
and entertainment.
As a result of a video game industry
lawsuit, the courts put an injunction on
AB 1179 before it could take effect. It
cannot be implemented until a court
orders otherwise, which would be the
result if the U.S. Supreme Court rules in
Yee’s favor, said Adam Keigwin, Yee’s
chief of staff.
But local retailer Orlando Megia thinks
Yee’s bill goes too far. Megia, who owns
Play N Trade in downtown San Mateo,
said the burden to monitor kids and their
video game playing habits rests with the
parents.
“Video games should be treated the
same as music or movies, without govern-
ment regulation,” Megia said yesterday.
“We do not allow kids to buy “mature”
in an easterly direction through the park-
ing lot and then eastbound on State
Route 92 with Warner driving the car,
according to police.
Shortly after the incident, Half Moon
Bay police received a call from the San
Mateo Police Department with informa-
tion that a San Mateo police officer had
stopped a suspicious vehicle leaving a
motel in San Mateo approximately two
hours before the shooting, O’Keefe said.
The officer identified the occupants
and released them but later noted the
similarity between the suspects and
vehicle in Half Moon Bay when a coun-
tywide broadcast was sent out, O’Keefe
said.
With the information given by the San
Mateo police officer, Half Moon Bay
investigators were able to obtain a pho-
tograph of the male suspect, later identi-
fied by a witness as Sargentini. Half
Moon Bay investigators then put out a
statewide broadcast for the suspects and
vehicle, O’Keefe said.
At approximately 9:45 p.m. Monday,
opened theater.
However, Redwood City leaders wel-
comed the company with open arms.
“This is a a great fit for the Fox
Theatre, a brilliant addition to our down-
town and will offer yet another reason
for people from throughout the
Peninsula to visit and enjoy downtown
Redwood City,” Mayor Jeff Ira said in a
written statement.
The art deco theater was built in 1928
and opened the following year as the
New Sequoia Theatre by the owner of a
Peninsula movie house chain. After two
decades, the theater was extensively
remodeled in the 1950s and in 1993
placed on the National Register of
Historic Places. In 1998, the owners
began restoring the theater and it re-
opened in June 2002 as a cornerstone of
Redwood City’s long-anticipated down-
town renovation.
City officials watched closely when
the Fox Theatre’s financial challenges
came to light last fall and eventually
of “Annie” is out of the hands of the
producing companies. It is that the
musical composer must have believed
that the only range for singers was up in
the shriek chambers of the throat and
Annie is the prime victim of this, mak-
ing it painful to the ear when she goes
for the high notes of the key vocal
“Tomorrow!”
The background of the musical is
rooted in the Great Depression period,
also, as when Annie blunders into a
“Hooverville” of homeless, displaced
by the vast job losses after the President
Hoover Administration. However, I
would assume the references to the
important political and financial figures
of 1933, such as Bernard Baruch, Al
Smith, Supreme Court Justice Brandeis

games without their parents’ consent.”
Megia said the voluntary rating system
the industry uses to indicate a game’s con-
tent acts as a guide for parents.
“You can’t tell parents how to raise their
children,” Megia said.
Steven Boerio agrees. The 19-year-old
was shopping at Play N Trade Tuesday
and said there is no link between kids who
play violent video games and kids who
bring guns to school and shoot up the
campus, for instance.
“It is not a valid argument,” Boerio said.
The Aragon High School graduate said
most children are not affected by the vio-
lence portrayed in video games and that it
is the parents’ responsibility to monitor
their children.
However, Yee said there is a link
between children who play ultra-violent
video games and children who act out vio-
lently.
“There are increasing bodies of evi-
dence that show the relationship,” he said.
If the Supreme Court does not rule in
Yee’s favor, the senator at least hopes the
court will provide states direction on how
to craft a legally defensible bill banning
the sale of ultra-violent video games to
minors.
deputies from the Alameda County
Sheriff’s Department located the suspect
vehicle in a motel parking lot in
Hayward. Deputies maintained surveil-
lance on the vehicle and observed a male
and female enter the vehicle and drive
away. A short time later, deputies
stopped the vehicle in San Leandro and
took the couple into custody, O’Keefe
said. A handgun was recovered from the
vehicle, O’Keefe said.
“This is just another example of the
tremendous cooperation law enforce-
ment enjoys in San Mateo County, and
throughout the greater Bay Area. The
officer and deputies involved in this case
were instrumental in taking two danger-
ous persons off the street. I truly believe
in the saying that cooperation is the key
to effective law enforcement, O’Keefe
said.”
The District Attorney’s Office will
decide by today whether to charge
Warner and Sargentini. If so, they will
appear in San Mateo County Superior
Court this afternoon.
led to its shuttering soon after. Many
worried its closure would impact other
businesses around the Courthouse
Square plaza.
Meanwhile, Broadway By the Way
learned the San Mateo Performing Arts
Center planned substantial renovations
beginning next year and began looking
for a new spot. When Lochtefeld and his
team bought the Fox, there was relief.
“It’s not as if there are a lot of options
on the Peninsula. The Fox is one of the
only legitimate theaters in this area.
That’s why we’re thrilled to be able to
call it home,” Gardia said.
Whether the theater company moves
back to the performing arts center after
the renovations is up in the air.
Construction is scheduled for 18 months
but could always take longer. Another
question is how well the company and
the theater meld together to both entity’s
benefit.
“We will just see how it all unfolds,”
he said.
and Harry Hopkins would be meaning-
less to most who view the musical
today.
The production is rounded out by an
ensemble of dancers and actors: John
Duggan, Lauren Herman, Leslie Ivy (of
beautiful voice), Puay Kua, John
McQuaide, Lindsey Meyer, Sophia
Perez, Patricia Pilpitan, Makena
Reynolds and Teegan Reynolds.
The choreography by Katie Kerwin is
just perfectly in tune with the 1933 era
and the little orphan girls do the most
inspired job with their numbers.
I should have know that Broadway by
the Bay would come up with a produc-
tion that would make another review of
the deathless “Annie” a worthwhile
visit.

Wednesday, July 21, 2010
There is a good chance that you might establish some goals
in the year ahead that are a complete departure from what
you’ve set in the past, which is OK if they are taking you to
grand places. What you envision can be achieved.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - It might take far greater dis-
cipline than usual to finish what you start today. If you don’t
want to leave a mess in your wake, you had better stay on top
of whatever you take on.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Generally, you’re pretty careful about
what you say about others, but today some flippant negative
comments could be taken more seriously than usual. Mean
what you say and say only what you mean.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Although there are plenty of sub-
stantial material opportunities hovering about you today, you
will need a sharp eye to detect them. Unless you are seriously
looking for them, you could easily miss them.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Those in your charge will easily
be able to discern whether you are being tough or just pre-
tending when you give them orders today. You’ll have to really
mean it for your dictates are to be followed.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Overhearing a disclosure that
is meant to be confidential could put you on track to some-
thing quite beneficial if you are sharp enough to pick up on it
and know how to constructively use it.
ner to someone who doesn’t really deserve it. Don’t be hood-
winked into believing what isn’t true.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - If an ambitious plan
you’ve been contemplating is prematurely exposed today,
it could easily weaken your position. Guard your important
intentions more carefully.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Be careful not to allow
someone who is famous for making waves draw you into one
of his/her intrigues today. If you participate, you will be the
one who ends up looking like the perpetrator.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Success in a collective situ-
ation will not be enhanced by a large number of participants
today. Only people with talent and know-how will be able to
pull off what everybody is hoping.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Generally you are one who
nearly always thinks for yourself, but today this splendid
quality won’t be visible. Although you rarely do so, you will let
bias influence your opinions at this time.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Check to see if it is a selfish
reason that is causing you to step out of character. Don’t
make one set of rules for yourself, while making an entirely
different set for everybody else.
Previous
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Generally speaking you are
noticed wherever you go, regardless of what you are doing Sudoku
or who you are with, so make sure the impression you make

and more information at the California

China tops U.S. in energy consumption
By Jenny Barchfield
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — China is now king of the
world in energy consumption, surpass-
ing the U.S. years ahead of forecasts in a
milestone that left the Asian giant imme-
diately rejecting its new crown.
Sensitive to its status as the world’s
biggest polluter, China has long pointed
fingers at developed nations in climate
change talks and resists any label that
could increase international pressure for
it to take a larger role in curbing green-
house gas emissions.
When the Paris-based International
Energy Agency released its data on
Tuesday, China branded it “unreliable.”
The United States still consumes more
energy and oil per capita than China. But
China’s faster-than-expected shift has
global consequences for markets and the
environment, reflecting its transforma-
tion from a nation of subsistence farmers
to one of workers increasingly trading
their popular bicycles for cars and buy-
ing air conditioners and other energy-
hungry home electronics.
Chief: No link between Iraq and 9/11
By David Stringer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — The war in Iraq led to a
loss of focus on the threat from al-Qaida,
emboldened the group’s leader Osama
bin Laden, and helped to breed a gener-
ation of homegrown terrorists, Britain’s
former domestic spy chief told an
inquiry Tuesday.
Making the sharpest criticism so far
aired in Britain’s inquiry into mistakes
made in the Iraq war, Eliza
Manningham-Buller, director of the MI5
agency between 2002 and 2007, said
A man jogs in the business central district in Hong Kong,China.
China was not expected to overtake
the U.S. in energy consumption until at
least 2015, the U.S. Energy Information
Administration forecast in April.
The consumption level, reached
despite the global economic downturn,
left China in an awkward spot: It is eager
to be seen as an economic juggernaut
Britain’s government paid little attention
to warnings that the war would fuel
domestic terrorism.
Manningham-Buller also said Iraq had
posed little threat before the 2003 U.S.-
led invasion, and insisted there was no
evidence of a link between former Iraqi
dictator Saddam Hussein and the Sept.
11, 2001 attacks on the United States.
“There was no credible intelligence to
suggest that connection and that was the
judgment, I might say, of the CIA,” she
told the inquiry. “It was not a judgment
that found favor with some parts of the
American machine.”

REUTERS
and a major player on the international
stage, but also insists it’s a developing
nation that deserves to industrialize.
Some environmentalists are cautiously
optimistic about what China’s new status
could mean for the planet, pointing out
that it has spearheaded research and
development into renewable energy.
The ex-spy chief said those pushing
the case for war in the United States
gave undue prominence to scraps of
inconclusive intelligence on possible
links between Iraq and the 2001 attacks.
She singled out the then-U.S. Defense
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
“It is why Donald Rumsfeld started an
alternative intelligence unit in the
Pentagon to seek an alternative judg-
ment,” said Manningham-Buller, who was
a frequent visitor to the U.S. as MI5 chief.
“Saddam Hussein had nothing to do
with 9/11 and I have never seen anything
to make me change my mind,” she said.

Key Pakistani counterterrorism official resigns
ISLAMABAD — The head of a federal group meant to coor-
dinate Pakistan’s fight against terrorism resigned Tuesday amid
a bureaucratic turf battle waged as the country continues to suf-
fer militant attacks, officials said.
The resignation came several hours after army guards shot
and killed three suspected suicide bombers and two other mili-
tants as they tried to enter a sprawling military firing range in
northwestern Pakistan.
Pakistan has suffered hundreds of attacks by the Taliban and
their allies in the past several years that have killed thousands
of people. The government has responded by launching sever-
al military offensives in the northwest along the Afghan border.
But many analysts have criticized the lack of coordination
between the various intelligence and security services battling
the militants, prompting the government to establish the
National Counterterrorism Authority in early 2009.
The government appointed Tariq Pervez, a former police offi-
cer and head of the Federal Investigation Agency, to lead the
authority shortly after its formation. But many analysts have
expressed frustration with the government’s slow pace of stand-
ing up the group, despite funding from the European Union.
Spain parliament rejects burqa ban — for now
MADRID — Spain’s Parliament on Tuesday rejected a pro-
posal to ban women from wearing in public places Islamic veils
that reveal only the eyes.
However, the Socialist government has said it favors includ-
ing a ban on people wearing burqas in government buildings in
an upcoming bill on religious issues to be debated after parlia-
ment’s summer vacation break.
Following a lower chamber debate, 183 lawmakers opposed
the ban, 162 voted for it and two abstained.
The nonbinding proposal had been put forward by the lead-
ing opposition Popular Party, which portrayed it as a measure
in support of women’s rights. The ruling Socialist Party
opposed the ban.
Cruelty probe after parasailing donkey stunt
MOSCOW — Authorities in Russia are opening an animal
cruelty probe into a weekend stunt on a beach in southern
Russia in which a donkey parasailed high over the surf.
Amateur video footage showed men attaching a parasail har-
ness to the trembling mule. The English-language Kremlin
news channel Russia Today reported that sunbathers were dis-
tressed at the sight of the flying donkey, which brayed in fear
as it glided above the bay for half an hour.
