Charges filed in iPhone 4 case

Gizmodo editor skirts charges for receiving stolen phone
By Michelle Durand

San Mateo County prosecutors charged two men with misdemeanors in the taking of an iPhone 4 prototype left at a Redwood City bar last year but will not prosecute the tech blog who paid $5,000 for the top-secret gadget.

Utah hospital reports high number of snake bites
LOGAN, Utah A northern Utah hospital is reporting an increase in snake sightings and bites this summer. Ofcials at Logan Regional Hospital report theyve seen six snake bite victims so far in 2011, including two within the past week. The hospital usually sees just one or two snake bites during an entire year. Hospital spokeswoman Debbie Ostrander tells the Logan Herald Journal that the numbers are highly unusual. Two of the bites happened when victims tried to touch or capture the snakes. The others happened when victims were walking through bushes or climbing rocks and encountered the snakes. Doctors say snake bite victims should seek medical help immediately. They also advise keeping the area with the bite below heart level to slow the spread of venom. that donkey races are a tribute to the miners who would race back to the office with their donkeys after they struck gold to claim it.

Bass estimated at 19 years old caught in Montana

KALISPELL, Mont. A 10-year-old Montana boy fishing with a rubber worm caught a largemouth bass that state wildlife ofcials say could be nearly twice as old as he is. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks biologist Mark Deleray says the largemouth bass caught and released in a Flathead River slough by Garrett Frost could be as much as 19 years old. Deleray says that may be the oldest largemouth bass on record for Montana. The Kalispell boy caught the sh July 16 in Rose Creek Slough. Deleray says the sh was 20 to 22 inches long and weighed about 3.5 pounds. Garrett removed a tag that had been placed on the sh in 1997 before releasing it. Biologists estimate the sh was 5 years old when it was tagged, based on the fact that it was just over 14 inches long and weighed 1.5 pounds.

rently being funded through the general fund, he said. In addition, increasing energy efficiency could save the district in the long run while providing hands-on training for green jobs, he said. As proposed, the bond Dave would help with modernMandelkern izing or constructing classrooms and labs for science, engineering and math, covering seismic upgrades, replacing outdated infrastructure, installing security systems, repairing old furniture and technology, modernizing libraries and demolishing outdated structures. Chancellor Ron Galatolo brought up the idea of another bond late last year since it became clear more than $50 million in state bonds, on which the district was counting on to further projects, would not become available. In addition, the district lost about $25 million of bond funds in 2008 due to the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. The district had the money invested in a San Mateo County investment fund, which lost approximately $150 million when the company went under. Since 2008 and through 2012, the district anticipates losing $198 million in possible capital funds, said Barbara Christensen, director of community/government relations. Before voting Wednesday, the district had FM3 conduct a survey of likely voters which indicated 65 percent to 67 percent would support such a measure, Christensen wrote in a staff report. The district oversees the College of San Mateo and Skyline and Caada colleges in San Bruno and Redwood City, respectively. San Mateo County voters have generally supported the college district and education in general. The college district has two bond measures Measure C, a $207 million bond in 2001, and Measure A, a $468 million bond in 2005 and a $34 per $100,000 assessed value. In addition, voters more recently approved an annual parcel tax, Measure G, which should generate $6 million annually for four years. A number of other districts have measures for the November ballot. The San Bruno Park Elementary School District is asking voters to consider a $40 million bond measure, with a rate of up to $30 per $100,000 of a propertys assessed value, to help upgrade facilities. The San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District is asking Foster City residents to fund a $25 million bond to build a fourth elementary school in the city. A $30 million bond measure will go before voters in the Millbrae Elementary School District. Such a measure would allow the district to finish projects not covered with the first bond like a state-of-the-art cafeteria to accommodate all Taylor Middle School students. Lastly, the Burlingame Elementary School District put a $76 annual tax for four years on the November ballot, which would create about $589,000 yearly for the district.

College board puts $564M bond on ballot

Police reports

Someone reported that a female stole chicken strips and french fries from the Safeway deli on East Hillsdale Boulevard in San Mateo before 4:39 p.m. Sunday, July 31.

College officials are banking on voters passing a $564 million bond to continue upgrading facilities and technology at three San Mateo County campuses a measure that will be on the November ballot. On Wednesday, the San Mateo County Community College District Board of Trustees unanimously voted to put such a measure before voters this November. Since 2001, the college district has had a clear vision for updating facilities. Late last year, the board began discussing another bond measure to finish projects like science buildings and purchasing new technology. As proposed, the $564 million bond would have a rate of up to $12.92 per $100,000 of a propertys assessed value. Such a measure would require a 55 percent passage rate. Recently, statewide tax measures ceased. As previously distributed, about 50 cents of each dollar previously collected would go to education. Board Vice President Dave Mandelkern thought it prudent to ask if residents would be willing to dedicate a smaller portion of the funds now in their pocket into education. We need to at least give the public the opportunity to weigh in, he said. Noting a drop in support from the state, Mandelkern anticipates further cuts in the future. With the drop in the economy, providing adequate training opportunities and facilities becomes more important, he said. And bond funds could be used to create two goals. Facility funds could cover mandated upgrades to facilities and technology cur-

Two plead not guilty in Giants fan attack

By Thomas Watkins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Two men accused of brutally beating a San Francisco Giants fan outside Dodger Stadium pleaded not guilty Wednesday even though prosecutors said they had made admissions in the case. Louie Sanchez, 28, and Marvin Norwood, 30, entered their pleas during a brief arraignment to charges of mayhem and assault and battery in the March 31 attack of Bryan Stow, a Santa Cruz paramedic who suffered severe brain injuries and remains hospitalized. Prosecutor Frank Santoro said in court he did not object to a motion to allow television cameras in the courtroom because the case is built on admissions, not witness identications. The case is based on admissions from both of them, said Santoro, who provided no further details. He said 20 witnesses had been asked to look at the men, but only one could positively identify Sanchez and no one recognized Norwood.

The motion involving cameras was denied after the defense objected. Outside court, Sanchezs attorney, Gilbert Quinones, was asked about the claim that the defendants had made admissions. Making assertions and proving them are two different things, Quinones said. During the hearing, several relatives looked on as Sanchez and Norwood stood about 30 feet apart. The men did not look at each other and spoke only through their lawyers. Relatives later declined to comment to the media. Police have portrayed Sanchez as the leader of the March 31 assault on Stow as the culmination of an alleged rampage in which Sanchez and Norwood are accused of lashing out randomly at rival Giants fans at the stadium. The district attorneys ofce also said it would not file charges against Dorene Sanchez, the sister of Louie Sanchez. She had been arrested on suspicion of being an accessory after the fact, but prosecutors found insufcient evidence against her.

Teen burglary suspects arrested

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Four teens were arrested yesterday afternoon for the burglary of a nonprot youth mentoring center in Redwood City, according to police. The suspects entered the Friends of Youth Mentoring Institute on the 1700 block of Broadway July 28 after prying open a rear door and took computer and electronic equipment, according to police. The youth, the oldest 16 and the youngest 12, were identied by investigators and a search of their homes yesterday uncovered most of the stolen items, said Redwood City police Sgt. Sean Hart. Police were able to recover most of the stolen items, Hart said, including laptops, digital cameras, ash drives and projectors. The teens may have sold or given away some of the property, Hart said.

None were likely afliated with the youth center and the suspects parents were very cooperative, he said. Police could not estimate the value of the stolen items but said some were still missing and that the center would like to recover them. They are a nonprot and its a big loss for them to lose those items, Hart said. The teens, all from Redwood City, face charges of commercial burglary and possession of stolen items. Redwood City has seen an uptick in residential burglaries this summer, Hart said, but police are not sure if the crimes are juvenile related or if it is adults committing them. When school is out, this type of activity picks up, Hart said. Anyone with information regarding the stolen items should call Detective Val Cook at 780-7697.

The program aims to put up to 1,000 bikes in more than 100 kiosks along Caltrains Peninsula corridor, air district spokesman Aaron Richardson said. The idea is that one of the ways these bikes could be most valuable is as commute extenders, Richardson said. Caltrain commuters could essentially deboard Caltrain, check out a bicycle from one of the kiosks and ride to work or a nal destination, where the bike could be left in another nearby kiosk, Richardson said. The pilot program will establish bike kiosks in San Francisco, Redwood City, Mountain View, Palo Alto and San Jose.

Amazing therapy wipes out leukemia

New fee may drain firefighting budget
SACRAMENTO A California law that imposes an annual wildre fee on rural residents may have an unintended consequence sapping the state re agency of money it needs to ght wildland blazes, ofcials said Wednesday. Concerns about the $150-a-year fee, which is contained in the state budget Gov. Jerry Brown signed earlier this summer, were raised Wednesday by the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection. Democrats in the Legislature passed the fee and said it eventually would raise $200 million a year. That would allow the state to transfer an equal amount of money from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to the general fund budget. Under the law, proceeds from the fee must go to local re-prevention efforts through local re districts, re councils or the California Conservation Corps not the state re department.

NEW YORK Scientists are reporting the rst clear success with a new approach for treating leukemia turning the patients own blood cells into assassins that hunt and destroy their cancer cells. Theyve only done it in three patients so far, but the results were striking: Two appear cancer-free up to a year after treatment, and the third patient is improved but still has some cancer. Scientists are already preparing to try the same gene therapy technique for other kinds of cancer. It worked great. We were surprised it worked as well as it did, said Dr. Carl June, a gene therapy expert at the University of Pennsylvania. Were just a year out now. We need to nd out how long these remissions last. He led the study, published Wednesday by two journals, New England Journal of Medicine and Science Translational Medicine. It involved three men with very advanced cases of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or CLL. The only hope for a cure now is bone marrow or stem cell transplants, which dont always work and carry a high risk of death. Scientists have been working for years to nd ways to boost the immune systems ability to ght cancer. Earlier attempts at genetically modifying bloodstream soldiers called T-cells have had limited success; the modied cells didnt reproduce well and quickly disappeared. June and his colleagues made changes to the technique, using a novel carrier to deliver the new genes into the T-cells and a signaling

mechanism telling the cells to kill and multiply. That resulted in armies of serial killer cells that targeted cancer cells, destroyed them, and went on to kill new cancer as it emerged. It was known that T-cells attack viruses that way, but this is the rst time its been done against cancer, June said. For the experiment, blood was taken from each patient and T-cells removed. After they were altered in a lab, millions of the cells were returned to the patient in three infusions. The researchers described the experience of one 64-year-old patient in detail. There was no change for two weeks, but then he became ill with chills, nausea and fever. He and the other two patients were hit with a condition that occurs when a large number of cancer cells die at the same time a sign that the gene therapy is working. It was like the worse u of their life, June said. But after that, its over. Theyre well. The main complication seems to be that this technique also destroys some other infectionghting blood cells; so far the patients have been getting monthly treatments for that.

Being young improves survival odds in cold water

LOS ANGELES The 12-year-old boy who was rescued after spending 15 minutes or more in the cold Pacic likely survived because of his age, among other factors, experts say. Charles Dale Ostrander was visiting the southwest Washington coast with his church youth group last Friday when he was swept out by a riptide. Rescuers who pulled him out said he had no pulse and his face was pale. So how did he survive? Studies of neardrownings in cold water have found that survival depends on many factors including a persons age, water temperature, time spent underwater and how fast CPR is given.

Military killed Taliban who downed U.S.helicopter

By Lolita C. Baldor and Pauline Jelinek
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON International forces killed the Taliban insurgents responsible for shooting down a U.S. helicopter and killing 38 U.S. and Afghan forces over the weekend, but they are still seeking the top insurgent leader they were going after in Saturdays mission, the top American commander in Afghanistan said Wednesday. Marine Corps Gen. John Allen told a Pentagon news conference that an F-16 airstrike Monday took out fewer than 10 insurgents involved in the attack on the Chinook helicopter. In a separate statement Wednesday, the military said the Monday strike killed Taliban leader Mullah Mohibullah and the insurgent who fired the rocket-propelled grenade at the helicopter. The military said intelligence gained on the ground provided a high degree of confidence that the insurgent who fired the grenade was the person killed. It did not provide further details. Allen defended the decision to send in the Chinook loaded with special operations forces to pursue insurgents escaping from the weekend firefight with Army Rangers in a dangerous region of Wardak province of eastern Afghanistan. Weve run more than a couple of thousand of these night operations over the last year, and this is the only occasion where this has occurred, said Allen. The fact that we lost this aircraft is not ... a decision point as to whether well use this aircraft in the

According to officials, the team included 17 SEALs, five Navy special operations troops who support the SEALs, three Air Force airmen, a five-member Army air crew and a military dog, along with seven Afghan commandos and an Afghan interpreter. Gen. James Mattis, head of U.S. Central Command, appointed Army Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Colt to lead the investigation. Colt is deputy commander of the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Ky. The investigation comes as the remains of the troops killed in the crash were returned Tuesday in an operation shrouded in secrecy by a Defense Department that has refused so far to release the names of the fallen and denied media coverage of the arrival at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. Two C-17 aircraft carrying the remains were met by President Barack Obama, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, the Joint Chiefs chairman, Adm. Mike Mullen, and a REUTERS number of other military leaders.

Latest picks for debt panel spark some pessimism
WASHINGTON Republicans named a mix of partisans and pragmatists on Wednesday to the new congressional committee charged with striking a debt-cutting compromise. While members of both parties expressed urgency over controlling surging budget shortfalls, others were pessimistic that the bipartisan panel would overcome deep political divides. With nine of the committees 12 members selected, Washington began calculating whether the faltering economy and chaotic financial markets could spur the panel to produce a bipartisan plan trimming $1.5 trillion from the governments debt over the coming decade.

Texas plant will turn sewage into drinking water

By Angela K. Brown
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FORT WORTH, Texas In parched West Texas, its often easier to drill for oil than to nd new sources of water. So after years of diminishing water supplies made even worse by the second-most severe drought in state history, some communities are resorting to a plan that might have seemed absurd a generation ago: turning sewage into drinking water. Construction recently began on a $13 million water-reclamation plant believed to be the rst of its kind in Texas. And ofcials have worked to dispel any fears that people will be drinking their neighbors urine, promising the system will yield clean, safe water. Some residents are prepared to put aside any squea-

mishness if it means having an abundant water supply. Any water is good water, as far as Im concerned, said Gary Fuqua, city manager in Big Spring, which will join the cities of Midland, Odessa and Stanton in using the water. When the water nally reaches the tap, Fuqua said, its origin is something I wouldnt think about at all. Similar plants have been operating for years in Tucson, Ariz., parts of California and in other countries. Water experts predict other American cities will follow suit as they confront growing populations, drought and other issues. Its happening all over the world, said Wade Miller, executive director of the WateReuse Association based outside Washington. In some places ... resources are down to very low levels, and this is one of the

few resources available. The Colorado River Municipal Water District in West Texas began considering a wastewater recycling plant back in 2000 and broke ground last month on the facility in Big Spring, about 100 miles southeast of Lubbock. When nished late next year, it should supply 2 million gallons of water a day. The timing couldnt be better. This years drought has made a bone-dry region even drier, causing crops to wither and animals and sh to die off by the thousands. At least one of the three reservoirs in West Texas may dry up if the drought persists through next year, as climatologists have predicted could happen. That means the districts water supply could be reduced from 65 million gallons a day to 45 million, said John Grant, the water districts general manager.

U.K.divided on reasons behind riots

By Paisley Dodds and Meera Selva
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fragile front-runner: Romney faces big challenges
PELLA, Iowa Mitt Romney, the GOPs fragile presidential frontrunner, faces a string of challenges in the next few days that could knock him down a couple of rungs: a debate where he can expect his rivals to attack him, an atten- Mitt Romney tion-drawing straw poll he is bypassing and Texas Gov. Rick Perrys expected entrance in the race. If he is feeling the pressure, Romney wasnt letting it show Wednesday as he made his second trip to Iowa this year, and his rst since spring. He went after President Barack Obama for not doing more to help the struggling economy, targeting the presidents planned trip next week to meet with small business owners and workers in three states. Said Romney: I sure as heck wouldnt be on a bus tour if I were president.

LONDON Each of the young rioters who clogged Britains courthouses painted a bleak picture of a lost generation: a 15-year-old Ukrainian whose mother died, a 17year-old who followed his cousin into the mayhem, an 11-year-old arrested for stealing a garbage can. Britain is bitterly divided on the reasons behind the riots. Some blame the unrest on opportunistic criminality, while others say conicting economic policies and punishing government spending cuts have deepened inequalities in the countrys most deprived areas. Many of the youths themselves struggle to find any plausible answer, but a widespread sense of alienation emerges from their tales. Nobody is doing nothing for us not the politicians, not the cops, no one, a 19-year-old who lives near Tottenham, the blighted London neighborhood where the riots started. He only gave his nickname, Freddy, because he took part in the looting and was scared of facing prosecution; he was not among the youths in court. Britain has one of the highest violent crime rates in the EU. Roughly 18 percent of youths between 16 and 24 are jobless and nearly half of all black youths are out of work.

sal government debt with harsh welfare cuts that promise to make the futures of these youths even bleaker, some experts say its narrow-minded to believe the riots have only been a random outburst of violence unrelated to the current economic crisis. Theres a fundamental disconnect with a particular section of young Britain and sections of the political establishment, said Matthew Goodwin, a politics professor at University of Nottingham. The argument that this doesnt have anything to do with expenditure cuts or economics doesnt stand up to the evidence. If thats true, then what we have here are hundreds of young, crazed kids simply acting irrationally. I dont think thats the case. Nearly 1,200 people have been arrested since the riots erupted Saturday, mostly poor youths from a broad section of Britains many races and ethnicities.

White House says Obama to vacation in Marthas Vineyard

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama will vacation with his family in Marthas Vineyard at the end of this month as hes done in years past, the White House said Wednesday, despite the weak economy and negotiations on the nations debt problem. Press secretary Jay Carney Barack Obama d e f e n d e d Obamas plans to take a break even as hes pledged urgent action on those issues. I dont think Americans out there would begrudge that notion that the president would spend some time with his family, Carney said. Carney added that theres really no such thing as a presidential vacation since Obama will travel with his aides, receive regular briengs on national security and the economy and be able to return to Washington if necessary.

NATO: Libya airstrike killed troops,not civilians

By Rami Al-Shaheibi and Slobodan Lekic
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BENGHAZI, Libya NATO and Libyan ofcials both refuted damaging claims Wednesday in the 6-month old civil war, with NATO insisting its airstrike killed soldiers and mercenaries, not 85 civilians, and the state-run TV apparently showing Moammar Gadhafis youngest son alive to counter rebel allegations of his death. NATO spokesman Col. Roland Lavoie said the Libyan claim of civilian casualties in an airstrike

near the western front-line town of Zlitan was not corroborated by available factual information at the site. NATO aircraft hit a staging base and military accommodation 10 kilometers (6 miles) south of Zlitan, Lavoie said from the operational command in Naples, Italy. Four buildings and nine vehicles within the compound were struck with precision-guided munitions, he said. With our surveillance capabilities, we monitored this military compound very carefully before striking it, Lavoie said. A number of military or mercenary casualties

were expected due to the nature of the activity we monitored. Our assessment, based on the level of destruction of the buildings, conrms the likelihood of military and mercenary casualties, he said. Meanwhile, Libyan state television broadcast images of a man it said was 27-year-old Khamis Gadha, who commands one of the best trained and equipped units in the Libyan military. Rebels had claimed Friday that Khamis Gadhafi was killed in another airstrike in Zlitan. The regime dismissed the allegation and said the rebels were only trying to

deect attention from the killing last week of the oppositions military commander, possibly by other rebels. The images on television showed the son at a Tripoli hospital visiting people wounded in a NATO airstrike and said it was on Tuesday. If genuine, it would be the rst time he has been seen in public since the reports of his death. State television also showed funerals for dozens of civilians it said were killed in the NATO airstrike near Zlitan, about 90 miles (140 kilometers) southeast of Tripoli.

Even Trusted Publications Can Get the Facts Wrong

By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Always take what you read with a grain of salt! It amazes me that so many articles I see being published in various magazines, tabloids, journals, etc. are implied to be factual and researched but in reality end up being riddled with partial truths, inaccuracies and falsehoods! I always like information that is backed up by provable facts, but am leery of articles that are hastily written and not checked out. Many people assume that all their reading material has been pre-verified by an editor. Accepting these erroneous types of writings as the gospel truth causes confusion among the public and can be potentially harmful! One serious example is the daily flooding of email stories that are passed from reader to reader (weve all received them) and taken by many recipients as factual writings. The majority of these emails, such as perceived parents searching for their missing child; hearsay about the Presidents status as an American citizen; rumors on the latest medical scare or remedy; handy household uses for cola; Bill Gates sharing his fortune with you if you forward that email to 10 friends; in addition to countless other stories are all found to be internet myths or hoaxes. TIP: You can easily check out the validity of every email story you receive by going to www.snopes.com and typing in the subject of any questionable email in the search box. In another example, I was recently given an article to review from Readers Digest called 13 Things the Funeral Director Wont Tell You as part of their series featuring different professions. Being an actual Funeral Director, and knowing the facts, I couldnt believe the inexplicable info I was reading in a supposedly reputable magazine such as Readers Digest. It was obvious to me that the author of the article and the editor of the magazine not only didnt check their alleged facts, but some of the items listed were misleading, incomplete assertions or just plain folklore! Anyone reading this would just assume that all was checked out in advance with experts and professionals before being printedbut in this case it was a listing of partial truths or unexplained hearsay. Since this article appeared (in the June/July 2011 issue) the National Funeral Directors Association among other groups have chastised Readers Digest for their inept reporting. This circumstance makes it difficult for me to fully have faith in Readers Digest and reminds me that fallacies that can show up in otherwise trusted publications. Another situation similar to the above appeared a while back in AARP magazine. I always viewed this publication as having a stellar reputation until I read an article about funeral rip-offs that was also filled with inaccurate statements. In that case AARP was not checking their facts either. The point is that some authors may have part of their facts correct or incorrectbut until you verify your reading material with a professional you should take what you read with some good humor and a grain of salt.

Citizens come through

The (Vacaville) Reporter

Table manners
the prospect that the new lines might assure a two-thirds Democratic majority in the state Senate, if not the Assembly. But dont be so sure. Another voter-adopted reform kicks in next June: The top-two primary. It essentially turns all of these races into nonpartisan affairs, with the top two votegetters moving on to the November ballot, regardless of party afliation. The hope is that it might generate more moderate candidates from both parties, or even bring some independent voices to the fore. With voters of all parties disapproving of the job being done in the Legislature and Congress, changes may be in store. But back to the map-drawing process: Legal challenges are expected, but the courts should back the redistricting process. After all, the commissions work was done entirely in public. More than 2,700 people spoke at 34 hearings around the state, and nearly 20,000 commented in writing. The maps arent perfect indeed, even commissioners complained at the end because they just didnt have enough time to make every renement they might have liked but they are good. They were drawn in public with public input, and they are equal to or better than any set that has come out of the Legislatures closed-door process, or even the courts. ho knew it all comes down to seating arrangements? Several years ago, I had lunch with the head of a new non-partisan policy alliance to talk about his jack-of-all trades background in politics and public relations and his new endeavor. The conversation and his accomplishments were notable, and eventually memorialized in print, but what I recall best was an aside made as part of a bigger explanation. Theres not always a right way or a wrong way, he said. Often its just about where you sit at the table. In other words, a perception at one point in time might be different when life and years and jobs and experience suddenly shift you to the left or right or reseat you completely across the table. To understand the different viewpoints, sometimes you have to play a little game of musical chairs. Or, at the very least, you have to be willing to understand that the fork on your left sits on their right simply by virtue of where they are seated. Otherwise, disparate groups can lose sight of even common goals while butting heads over politics and methods. Occasionally, this inadvertent piece of wisdom springs to mind, particularly when Im guratively placing pen to paper to skewer whatever notion ies in the face of my reality or when there seems to be no road out of partisanship and bickering. Most recently, the swords and verbal lobs launched during the congressional debt ght are proof not everyone thinks the same. For them, there is only us and them, this and that, right and wrong. Is there any wonder it took so long to nail down a reluctantly compromised deal? Election season always promises to get ugly, whether it be on the local, state or federal level. The presidential race? Jabs and mudslinging are a given as is never-resolved debates on taxes, health care, safety, education pretty much anything and everything. In the last weeks, too, a former city and county leader stopped by the newsroom to talk about his doings now that hes comfortably settled on the state level. The man who once championed redevelopment agencies now sees them in a different light. What was once a city benet is now a target for abuse and indulgence. I didnt understand them quite the same way, he said. The man who may have once fought the governors plan to eliminate them now doesnt think they should necessarily remain untouchable. Is he wrong now? Was he wrong then? Or did he simply shift the seating arrangement? This is not to say there is never right or wrong or a whole wide expanse of gray in the middle. Sometimes people are completely misguided if not outright mistaken. Sometimes there is the absolute truth. More often than not, though, in complicated and nuanced matters, there is just a matter of perspective. The trick then is guring out how to assess situations with multiple facets, to look through the prism without getting dizzy, to be man or woman to acknowledge different sides because at the very worst it changes your opinion. At the very best, you bolster your own argument. But while the path may sound simple, it is evasive. Perhaps the drive to win is greater than the urge to make a winning decision. If it wasnt, there probably wouldnt be any fussing over who sits next to who and who gets seated rst. Nobody ever wants to be the one picking up the tab but it doesnt hurt to at least hear why so and so is best-suited to the task. Life is about where you sit at the table. Thats the easy part to gure out. The challenge is keeping the sharp cutlery outside easy reach of the guests.

Other voices
Solano County really cant complain. Northern Solano may be at the southern end of the Third Congressional District but its the population center, which gives it some clout at the ballot box. The entire county forms the heart of state Senate District 3. Both districts have incumbents within their borders who are representing parts of Solano now: Rep. John Garamendi and state Sen. Lois Wolk. It may be less than ideal to have the county divided among three Assembly districts, but one of those districts No. 11, which includes Vacaville and the Faireld-Suisun area is a newly formed entity with no incumbent. Its the perfect opportunity to send a Solano representative to Sacramento, something that hasnt happened since former Assembly Majority Leader Tom Hannigan, D-Faireld, termed out in 1995. Of course, theres no reason that Solano candidates couldnt compete against the incumbents, either. Now is the time for prospective legislators to start lining up supporters and looking to see where the needed votes might come from. Statewide political observers have raised

ice job, citizens. The 14 members of the California Citizens Redistricting Commission should take a bow for demonstrating that it is possible to draw sensible political boundaries in a public setting. Established by the California voters in 2009, the commissions 14 members were culled from an applicant pool of more than 5,000 people who were willing to submit to detailed interrogation about their political connections, in hopes of weeding out the obviously partisan. They were tasked with taking U.S. Census data, which became available at the beginning of this year, and using it to redraw the borders for Californias representatives to Congress, the state Senate and Assembly, and the Board of Equalization. The commission issued its rst set of preliminary maps in June and then began taking feedback and revising the lines. On July 29, they issued the nal draft of their proposal. There may still be some revisions, depending on what Californians tell them during the public comment phase, which ends Aug. 15, but its mostly done and done mostly well.

Letters to the editor

California change to the Electoral College vote
Editor, Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill into law authored by Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo. The bill awards the Electoral College votes of California to the presidential candidate who wins the popular vote of the United States. The argument in favor of electing the president in this manner is it would force the candidates to campaign vigorously in all 50 states; Assemblyman Hill believes California would receive the attention he thinks were not getting now. Should enough states join in this effort and it becomes the way to elect a president, the effect will be quite the opposite. States with relatively small populations will be ignored and so too will most of California. Candidates will focus only on the major population centers and ignore everywhere else. Look at a map of counties nationwide won by the Democrat candidate for president versus the Republican candidate, since and including the year Clinton was elected, and it is obvious why the Democrats are in favor of this idea. The map shows the Democrats won the population centers on either coast but failed to win most of the counties in between. If they only needed to focus on the two coasts and a few other major cities, that would be great for them. The problem with the Brown, Hill and the Democratic proposal is that it ignores what we were designed to be: a republic, not a democracy. The best denition of a democracy Ive heard is three wolves and two sheep voting on whats for lunch. Brown. Kill the boondoggle.

Gov. Browns high-speed rail hypocrisy

Editor, California Gov. Jerry Brown must end the nancially bankrupting boondoggle called Californias Train to Nowhere now. The California High-Speed Rail Authority has already wasted $1 billion on planning and study. They have done no construction and paid 630 consultant companies. But, Brown said to CNN on Aug. 8, 2011 that California must live within our means, that were not going to borrow, and that I [Brown] dont think you can borrow all the time. I dont like borrowing. I dont like debts. Were out way beyond the ledge of responsible scal management, so Im pulling us back. Brown must take his own advice. The federal debt ceiling bill killed all federal highspeed rail funding through 2013. Construction costs are currently estimated at $67 billion (experts estimate over $200 billion) and projected ticket prices are currently $210 roundtrip from San Francisco to Los Angeles. For a family of four, that is almost $1,000 for a trip to Los Angeles (plus car rental upon arrival) versus $50 in gas or a cheap ight. End your hypocrisy Gov.

Obama hates America?

Editor, Have the Republicans hit the bottom? Or is it possible to stoop even lower than claiming that Obama hates America? So they claim, those who will not shy away from anything in their attempt to take our president down at any cost. If Obama hated America, why would he risk his own life and jeopardize his entire family, a great wife and two absolutely adorable daughters? Why would he take a huge cut in earnings and subject himself to so much degrading ridicule, so many vicious attacks and being blamed for just about everything under the sun? Why would he voluntarily take on what must be the most strenuous, demanding job in the world, working practically around the clock, if he hated his country? Such ridiculous, unfounded claims tell us something rather ugly about his opposition and those responsible for the smear campaigns including those who know better but silently accept the lies and innuendos. Yet, they claim to be patriotic.

Wall Street
4.6 percent for the day. By points, it was the ninth-steepest decline for the market. Wednesday was another day marked by big moves. The Dow was down more than 300 points within minutes of the opening bell. It recovered some of that loss, then drifted steadily lower in the last two hours. The market has traded that way for two weeks, lurching up and down. The most extreme example was Tuesday, when the Dow swung more than 600 points in the one hour and 45 minutes after the Feds statement. The stomach-churning highs and lows are reminiscent of the fall of 2008, the depths of the nancial crisis, when there were swings of 800 or even 1,000 points in day. Computerized trading systems programmed to analyze charts, capitalize on the tiniest changes in price and execute trades with no human intervention are making the market rougher. High-frequency trading programs make up about half of the trading volume in a normal market day but 70 percent or more on a volatile one. The programs pounce on stock changes to make just slivers of a penny but do it so often that it adds up.

NEW YORK Back to reality and back down, Wall Street focused Wednesday on the bleak landscape ahead for the economy and wiped out its big gains from a day earlier and then some. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 519 points and has now lost more than 2,000 in less than three weeks. Swings of several hundred points in just minutes have become commonplace. This time, the selling was intensied by worries about debt problems in Europe. On Tuesday, the Federal Reserve said it planned to keep interest rates ultra-low for two more years. After some initial confusion, the stock market staged a huge comeback and had one of its best days. But the interest-rate news proved to be a distraction. The Fed made the pledge because it sees almost no chance that the economy will improve substantially by 2013, and when investors focused on that, they dumped stocks again. Now it gets back to the fundamentals, said Mark Lamkin, founder of Lamkin Wealth Management, which manages $215 million. The Dow closed at 10,719.94, down
The Dow Jones industrial average plunged 519.83 points, or 4.6 percent, to 10,719.94 on Wednesday. It was the Dows ninth-worst point decline.

Apple is most valuable U.S.company

By Barbara Ortutay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK It doesnt take a visit to the Genius Bar to gure out how Apple became the most valuable company in America. Its lineup of sleek phones, computers and iPods, irresistible to customers even in tough economic times, propelled it to the No. 1 position by market value Wednesday, surpassing Exxon Mobil. Apples stock on the open market is now worth more than any other companys. Apples stock fell for the day, but Exxons fell more. Apple nished with a market value of $337 billion, beating

Exxons $331 billion. A single share of Apple stock now costs $363. Apple occupies a rareed spot once held by General Electric and Apples own rival Microsoft. Exxon had held the top spot since 2005. The power shift is a substantial milestone for Apple, which has enjoyed a triumphant comeback since the 1990s, when it struggled to stay aoat before its co-founder Steve Jobs returned to take the helm. But its not just the comeback. Gleacher & Co. analyst Brian Marshall says Apple is giving investors something that has never been seen before. Apples numbers are huge, with $30 billion in revenue in the latest quarter, for exam-

ple. Yet Marshall said the 35-year-old company is growing like a startup. Even in 2008 and 2009 Apple grew like a weed and the world was coming to an end, Marshall said. Apple grew its net income 70 percent to $14 billion and its revenue 52 percent to $65 billion in the scal year that ended last September. A year earlier, even as other companies though not Exxon were reeling from the economic meltdown, Apples earnings grew 35 percent and its revenue 14 percent. Apple wasnt always a tech darling. The company, known as Apple Computer Inc. when it was founded in 1976, was on a steep decline before Jobs returned in 1997.

Chart-based trading behind big market swings

By David K. Randall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Support levels. Moving averages. Breakouts. That strange language is being spoken more forcefully on Wall Street these days. It is the language of technical trading, which is helping to drive recent wild gyrations in stock prices. Within hours, stock prices have been leaping and falling in 300 and 400 point

bursts. Technical traders all but ignore fundamentals, such as corporate prots or expected growth rates. Instead they rely on stock-chart analyses that signal when to buy or sell the entire U.S. stock market. In the absence of clear signs about the economys direction, more of Wall Street is turning to technical trading. When the charts say sell, a herd of sellers emerges, magnifying declines. If prices fall far enough, another wave of

technical selling is triggered and the decline is intensied. At some point, a threshold is reached where the charts say buy, and stock prices get whipped higher. You have to have some idea of earnings and multiples for fundamental analysis, said James Masserio, the head of equity derivative trading at Credit Suisse. But now there is essentially no clarity on future earnings for the next 6 to 12 months.

Low rates are no fix for economy or retirees

By Paul Wiseman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Federal Reserves plan to keep interest rates super-low for at least two more years is great news for mortgage renancers and other borrowers. For retirees and others who need interest income, its a threat. Nor will low

rates likely revive a depressed home market, energize a weak economy or reassure frightened consumers. Theyre also putting pressure on Americans pensions. The consulting rm Milliman Inc. said this week that 100 of the nations largest pension funds were $254 billion short of what they need to meet obligations to retirees July 31, up from a $186 billion shortfall at the

end of June. Low interest rates were the main reason for the widening gap. The sinking rates ow from the Feds federal funds rate, which the Fed has kept near zero since the depths of the nancial crisis in December 2008. The funds rate is the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans. It indirectly affects rates for credit cards and some business loans.

FIFA killing soccer

nternational soccer, in its current state, is an absolute embarrassment. Whether its the players, coaches and federation ofcials being suspended and ned for xing matches or bribes being handed out like Halloween candy, soccers world governing body, FIFA, is the laughingstock of the sports world. What does that now say about Americas lack of passion for the worlds game? Looks like we may not have been so dumb to not embrace the game like the rest of the world. Looking at the daily scandals that come across the news wire, how can anyone, in good faith, cheer for a team or player who may be on the take? A report out of Italy Tuesday detailed the several suspensions and bans for players, coaching and ofcials in Serie A, which is the countrys highest level of soccer and one of the best leagues in the world, and which ltered down into the lower divisions as well. A report Wednesday stated three Serbian and three Hungarian ofcials were banned for life for match xing, while in the Caribbean, Lisle Austin was suspended for a year. All of this is merely the fallout of the selection of Qatar for the 2022 World Cup bid blindly ignoring the fact the games will be played in a desert in the middle of summer. There were rumblings before the bid was awarded and since then, allegations of bribery and resignation of ofcials have put the bid thankfully in doubt. The mere fact FIFA is actively investigating and punishing these infractions means

Recent Serra graduate Nick Alspaugh earned All American honors after Team California advanced to the championship round of the 2011 USA Wrestling Junior Duals Freestyle tournament in Oklahoma City at the end of June.

A successful summer
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

So many wrestlers, so many tournaments. Members, and one former member, of the Serra wrestling squad scattered across the western half of the United State this summer as they participated in various tournaments from Pocatello, Idaho, to Fargo, N.D. and Oklahoma City. Sufce to say, these wrestlers have had a busy and successful summer. In all, ve Padres qualied for various USA Wrestling National Championships. Recent graduate Nick Alspaugh, who will continue his wrestling career at Northern Colorado, was named an All American after earning a spot on Team California and traveling to Oklahoma City with the team nishing

eighth at the 2011 USA Wrestling Junior Duals Freestyle tournament. [National tournaments are] twice as hard as WCAL competition, if not more, said Serra assistant coach Mike Klobuchar. Theres a denite difference. The West Catholic Athletic League is one of the toughest wrestling leagues in Northern California. Wrestlers from the member schools consistently win Central Coast Section championships and represent well in the state championships. Incoming juniors Jerry DeLaRosa (130 pounds) and Ulysses Molina (140) went to Idaho for the Western Regionals, with Molina finishing sixth to earn a spot on Team California which went to the national tournament in Fargo, N.D. The road to the national championships is

an arduous one. Following the high school wrestling season, athletes are permitted to join local wrestling clubs which are afliated with USA Wrestling. From April to June, Peninsula Wrestling Club, for example, will travel around the Bay Area to face other clubs to get the wrestlers mat time. The path to nationals doesnt begin until the state tournament which, much like the high school state championships, is held in Fresno. The tournament is open, so a wrestler who is 0-10 has just as much right to enter as one who is 10-0. The top three advance to the Western Regionals and the top six there earn a spot on Team California for the national tournaments. Joining Molina at the national championships in North Dakota was incoming junior

Pirates 9, Giants 2

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Andrew McCutchen hit a two-run homer, Jeff Karstens bounced back from his worst start of the season and the Pittsburgh Pirates won their rst series in three weeks with a 9-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. The Pirates took two of three from the reigning World Series champions on the heels of a 10game losing streak. Pittsburgh is off Thursday before opening a weekend series at NL Centralleading Milwaukee. The Brewers have won all ve previous meetings. Garrett Jones added an RBI single to continue his torrid August and help back Karstens (9-6), whose career-high nine strikeouts matched a season-high for the team. Karstens, who ended a four-start winless stretch, gave up a season-high nine runs and nine hits in a 15-5 loss at San Diego last Friday. McCutchen went 1 for 1 and scored four runs. He walked three times, was hit by a pitch and stole two bases.

Pablo Sandoval homered for the Giants. Sanchez (4-7) walked McCutchen on four pitches and threw ve straight balls to start the game. Sandoval came in from third and catcher Eli Whiteside hustled to the mound to chat Pablo Sandoval with the left-hander, who was roughed up again in his second start since coming off the disabled list with biceps tendinitis. Sanchez was done after 4 1-3 innings and hasnt won since June 2 at St. Louis. McCutchen stole second and came around to score on Ryan Ludwicks RBI single. McCutchens 16th clout of the year put Pittsburgh ahead 3-1 in the third. The Pirates have homered in four of their last ve games and eight of 12.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Chiefs coach Todd Haley has been reluctant to put pads on his players the rst two weeks of training camp, unsure what kind of condition they arrived in after the NFL lockout wiped away the offseason. He scrapped any sort of scrimmage prior to their rst preseason game for the same reason. Gazing around the league, Haleys cautious approach is making him look like a genius. Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara will miss about two months after breaking his foot, and fellow rst-rounder Nick Fairley of the Detroit Lions is out most of camp after his own foot surgery. Detroits second-round draft pick, running back Mikel Leshoure, is done for the year after tearing his Achilles tendon on Monday the 10th player to sustain the same season-ending injury since the lockout ended and players went back to work. Now, every time someone gets banged up, it begs the question: Is the lockout to blame? I dont know the answer to that, Haley said. Thats why, for the most part, weve been doing

All the coaches have been balancing uncomfortably between getting players conditioned while at the same time protecting them from injury.

MLS deal with NBC can only help Quakes

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Major League Soccer and NBC announced a new three-year, $30 million dollar television deal Wednesday that will broadcast 45 MLS and four U.S. Mens National Team games across two of its networks, doubling the number of homes in which the league will be available for viewing. The announcement is big news for the domestic soccer league that has almost doubled in size over the past six years. And for the San Jose Earthquakes, a team three years into their revival, the deal comes at a time when the franchise is the process of taking some major forward strides. Its a great opportunity here for the Quakes and a great time, said Earthquakes president David Kaval. And I think for many of our fans who have been long-time supporters of the Earthquakes all the way back to the 1970s when the team played in the NASL, its just great to see the progress and the increased stature of soccer in the U.S. I think well look back in 10-15 years and look at this media partnership as a critical bell-weather in terms

of moving the sport forward. The package, currently on Fox Soccer Channel, will move mainly to the NBC Sports Network, Versus new name beginning Jan. 2. The cable channel will air 38 regular-season games, three playoff games and two U.S. mens national team matches each year. NBC will broadcast two regular-season MLS games, two playoff games and two national team appearances under the threeyear contract. Our media strategy is really led by our league ofce in New York, Kaval said. And with the input of all the presidents and ownership groups, it is critical that we elevate the media stature of soccer in the United States. And we think by partnering with an established media player like NBC Sports, we can really take soccer to the next level. The deal became possible after Comcast, Versus parent company, ofcially took over NBCUniversal in January. The cable games will go from being available in nearly 40 million households on Fox Soccer to almost 80 million on NBC Sports Network, which is in about two-thirds of American homes with televisions.

David Kaval

It is critical that we elevate the media structure of soccer in the United States. We can really take soccer to the next level.

Comcasts involvement with the deal lined things up beautifully for the Quakes since they already have a local deal in place the new contract means more national exposure for the boys from San Jose. It works really well, Kaval said. We have an agreement with Comcast SportsNet California and Bay Area that organization is obviously now the same organization as NBC. Not only do we have our local broadcasts which will be on CSN, but we also have national broadcasts now. That is a really exciting development for us and I think its going to really help our local coverage as well as our national footprint. Kaval said the league has yet to discuss in

detail with the teams with regard to how the 45 games will be split amongst the franchises, but he expects the distribution to be fair. San Jose has shown that it can draw big crowds for its games, as evident by the 41,000-plus who showed for their July 2 draw with the New York Red Bulls a game shown nationally on ESPN2. The national attention is invaluable for a franchise like San Jose, who has plans for a new stadium in the works. Its a project that Kaval said has been going really, really well with a targeted completion of 2013. I think its important for people to recognize that soccer is a rising sport, he said. And I think for potential sponsors, seasonticket holders and just community stake holders, seeing this $30-million deal is critical and its showing the stature of Major League Soccer and the fact that is really becoming one of the elite major leagues in the U.S. So thats critical in terms of our progress with the stadium and securing partners to make that happen as soon as possible. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Klinsmann kicked off a new era in American soccer less than two weeks after he was hired. He needs more time to make his mark.

San Bruno Storm finally quieted in Spokane

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

After storming through the summer softball season unblemished at 33-0, the San Bruno Storm Under-14 squad earned a trip to Spokane, Wash. to play in the Western Nationals tournament last week. The tournament would be the Storms seventh tournament of the summer a 44-team eld with teams from California, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Unfortunately for San Bruno, after extending their summer win streak to 35 games, they ran into the flu bug and the Spokane Diamonds who handed them their rst loss of the season. We had two (get the u) while we were there, said Darcy Petersen, an assistant coach with the Storm. And two more on the drive back home. There was actually another girl from another team in the same hotel who had it as well. So I think there was something spreading on that oor. With the u-bug conspiring against them, the Storm saw their season come to an end of couple of days later after suffering their second loss, thus nishing their year with a 36-2 record.

We kind of werent at our top energy, Petersen said, but overall we did well and were just proud of the whole season. The loss in the Western Nationals comes despite outscoring their ve opponents 33-16. The Storm actually had another shutout in the tournament which ran their season total to a remarkable 20. The tournament began with a pair of wins in the pool play. The Storm hit the ball well in game one, defeating a team from Clovis by a 13-5 mark. The victory against a fellow Californian team was followed by another against a local squad, the Spokane Scream. Once again, the offense was on point for San Bruno as they put together nine runs Storm pitching limited the Scream to three. But, after a summer in which the Storm averaged 8.5 runs a game and never scored less than three in a single contest, San Brunos bat were nally silenced by an opponent bragging rights there go to the aforementioned Diamonds. The loss sent the Storm to the losers bracket where they would have an uphill climb to reach the championship. It appeared San Bruno would be more than willing to take on that challenge, as they came out and probably played their most complete game of the tournament. In that game against

the Spokane Stealth, the Storm picked up a 90 victory. But on Friday, against Santee, the San Bruno offense went missing again, and despite a solid effort in the circle, the Storm were eliminated with a 3-1 loss. I think the girls had a lot fun, Peterson said. They had a lot of bonding time. They really hung out together. They had a great time. We just didnt have the drive during the games to win. They are such a great group and (the) best all-around team I have coached, she said.

A couple of days ago, the Daily Journal told you about the San Mateo Little League team who was on their way to Japan as part of the Sister City Cultural Exchange program. For some time now, the boys have been working together, improving their baseball skills and performing team-building exercises to better assimilate into the Japanese culture once they get to their destination. The players, coaches and chaperones have landed and have began their journey. The Daily Journal will be bringing you updates from their trip in the next couple of days. What follows is an excerpt from the team blog:

The 2011 San Mateo Sister City Association Goodwill team has arrived in Toyonaka and already taken Kyoto by storm. Our rst day here and I feel like we have already enacted the movie, Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Todays tour of Kyoto included subway rides, public buses and plenty of walking. The tour started with a trip to Nijo Castle, which was followed by a stop at the Kinkakuji Golden Pavilion. After a buffet lunch, the group went to Heian Shrine. The tour wrapped up with a short stay at Kiyomizu Temple. Heat and sweat was the main topic of the day. We tried to warn the boys every day about the weather. However it never seems to set in until it is experienced for the rst time. Today, we experienced it and boy it was hot. After the tour, we had a little time to relax back at the hotel. Dinner was conveniently down the street which was a combination of Chow Mein and Okonomiyaki. Tomorrow, we join our friends in Toyonaka. Our boys will be meeting their host families and the beginning of the exchange begins. You can follow all of the San Mateo teams activities on its blog, http://smsistercity.blogspot.com

The Serra trio combined to nish 3-6. DeLaRosa started strong with two straight wins, before losing an agonizing 1-0 decision to Kevin Kinney of Missouri. DeLaRosa was pinned by Washingtons Joseph Grable to end his Ulysses Molina tournament. Glauninger was pinned in his rst match, but rebounded with a 6-3 win over Robert Rank of Ohio. Glauninger was eliminated in his next match, suffering a technical fall to Jacob Laden of Washington. Thodos had the toughest day, losing both of his matches. Molinas coming-out party was at the Western Regionals, where he showed his allaround wrestling abilities. While wrestling eight times in freestyle, nishing with a 4-4 mark and a top-six nish, Molina also participated in the folkstyle and MLS, which have been primarily broadcast on Fox Soccer Channel, is moving to the NBC networks beginning next year. The majority will be broadcast on the newly branded NBC Sports Network, which replaces Versus at the beginning of the year. A handful of games will also be shown on NBC proper. All of this happening because of the new gorilla on national sports scene Comcast Sports Network which, I believe, is giving ESPN a run for its money. Comcast recently completed its purchase of NBC. Comcast also owns Versus. Add it all up and Versus is now NBC Sports Network. NBC and by extension Comcast have been shrewd in acquiring relatively cheap sports programming over the years. Greco-Roman disciplines as well, going 0-4 in those matches. Lots of kids dont wrestle Greco-Roman, Klobuchar said, who also runs Peninsula Wrestling Club. Just getting mat time is Tim Glauninger ideal. DeLaRosa also planned to wrestle all three, but retired from the folkstyle competition. Although Roberts could not participate in the national tournament, he recently nished the invitation-only Battle Creek, Mich. River Rumble with a 7-2 record, with his only losses coming to the wrestlers who nished second and third. Since he was missing nationals, they said you can come here and compete, Klobuchar said. Whether its the Arena Football League or the NHL and now MLS, NBC has not paid much for the investment. When the NHL returned to NBC after missing the 1994-95 season, NBC was paying the league peanuts to broadcast its games. Contrast that to the NFL which earns billions from television contracts. Im not sure soccer will ever crack the big three of MLB, NBA and NFL and the distant fourth NHL. But moving games to more accessible channels is a start to bring the game into more homes. *** Turns out basketball at Aragon for the 2011-12 season is not a foregone conclusion.

With DeLaRosa, Glauninger, Molina, Roberts and Thodos returning this season, in addition to several other returners, the Padres are setting their goals high: a WCAL championship and a top-ve nish at CCS, qualifying some wrestlers for state along the way. With seven or eight weight classes (of 14 weights filled), we should be solid, Klobuchar said. Roberts is preparing for a historic senior year. He will attempt to become the rst Serra wrestler to win four straight WCAL titles. With the quintet performing so well on the national stage, Klobuchar said they should be prepared for anything that comes their way this wrestling season. Just making the (national) tournament is one thing, Klobuchar said. After competing at the national tournament, when theyre competing at the Peninsula Cup, they wont feel nervous. said Wednesday the plans have changed. The bleachers on the north side of the main gym will need to be removed to add wall support. Sell said the basketball teams will still practice in the gym, and perhaps play a couple preseason games, but no league games will be played at the Aragon gym this season. That is dependent on when the construction actually starts. Sell said he was told October, but given the changes already, would it be any surprise if the work didnt start on time either? Sell did say the volleyball season wont be affected.

Chad Thodos (189) and soon-to-be senior Tim Glauninger (215/HWT). Another incoming senior, Travis Roberts (125) also earned a ticket to nationals, but could not go for personal reasons. The tournament featured 800 wrestlers from 46 states. DeLaRosa wrestled freestyle while Thodos and Glauninger wrestled in the Greco-Roman portion of the tournament. Greco-Roman is a discipline in which wrestlers use only their upper bodies while grappling. Greco-Roman is not used during the high school season. Instead, high school wrestling is called folkstyle, which is slightly different than freestyle, mainly in the way points are awarded. Attacking and scoring is emphasized in freestyle, while control, which leads to scoring, is paramount in folkstyle wrestling.

Their last homer to score more than one run was a two-run drive by Nate Schierholtz on July 6 against San Diego. Still, San Francisco nished up a disappointing 3-7 homestand with its 10th loss in 13 games. The Giants have dropped three straight series at AT&T Park for the rst time since losing six consecutive home series from May 12-June 18, 2008. Pirates rst baseman Derrek Lee was a late scratch from the lineup with a recurring left hand injury. Manager Clint Hurdle said Lees hand was very sore after he played the two previous nights following a four-game absence with the bruised hand.

Goldson joins an already crowded 49ers secondary

By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Apparently not everything on Twitter is true. Just ask Dashon Goldson. After tweeting goodbye to the only NFL franchise he has ever known, Goldson was back and a full participant in San Francisco 49ers training camp for the rst time Wednesday in a scene that seemed unlikely just days prior. It was denitely frustrating, Goldson said. At the end of the day, Im a football player. I never thought I was going to see this side of the business and it is a business. I got a grasp of that a couple weeks ago. There was a lot of upside here. This is home. The Niners certainly seemed ready to part ways with their starting free safety. Last week, San Francisco signed safeties

safety. I talked to all the defensive coaches and coach (Jim) Harbaugh and they all wanted me to play strong safety. So I dont know if he was informed of that or not. The sudden shift has given way to newfound depth in the secondary. Bringing back Goldson gives Harbaugh some experienced options in what is shaping up as a secondary that also includes safety Reggie Smith. Whitner is expected to be the strong safety. San Francisco also added cornerback Carlos Rogers as the likely successor to Nate Clements, who started all 16 games at right cornerback last season but was released at the start of training camp. The 26-year-old Goldson a fourthround draft pick out of Washington in 2007 now lls out the rotation. And thats one less thing for a new coaching staff to worry about. I know Im much more happy with our safeTUE WED

ty position right now than I was the last time I stood before you guys, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said. Weve picked up a few guys and weve got good competition back there, and hell be part of that competition. Goldson nished with 80 tackles, one sack and an interception in 2010. He has started 32 games over the past two seasons, and the Niners are hoping for big things out of him before signing him to a long-term deal. The 49ers open the preseason at New Orleans on Friday night, and even though its just an exhibition, the defense couldnt be happier to have another veteran defender against Drew Brees and the Saints high-scoring offense. Im glad that hes back, Whitner said. Were going to still work on him getting caught up and getting the calls. And once its all said and done, I think well have a pretty good tandem in the secondary.

Thom Mayer, the NFL Players Associations medical director. (The lockout) has really changed the dynamic. Along with Leshoure, players who have sustained season-ending Achilles injuries include Browns punter Reggie Hodges, who took a snap in the end zone, took one step and dropped like a sack of our; Eagles defensive end Victor Abiamiri, who underwent surgery Wednesday in Philadelphia; and the Bengals Roddrick Muckelroy, a second-year linebacker and one of their top special teams players. Thats just part of football, Cowboys tight end Jason Witten said. Its hard, but you just hope that you can stay injury-free. Teams that make a run, theyre the ones who stay healthy in the long run. To be healthy in the long run, it helps to start healthy. One of the byproducts of the lockout is that it kept players from meeting with team physicians and using team facilities. That put several high-prole names behind schedule in rehabilitating injuries that are months old. Colts quarterback Peyton Manning is the biggest name on the list.

size ears. All you do is pick the ears just as the silks are showing. These small ears do give you a lot less to eat, so if you want a lot of baby corn, take steps next year to grow it more efciently: Grow any multi-eared variety of sweet corn; plant close, giving each plant about a square foot of space; and plan to grow something else after harvest, because baby corn matures a few weeks earlier than sweet corn. Besides cuteness, baby corn does have good texture, a trait shared by some other baby vegetables. Baby zucchinis, for example, are much more tender and succulent that their grown-up counterparts. For some eye appeal, harvest baby zucchinis while their owers are still attached. Baby potatoes have skins so tender as to be almost nonexistent. But take note: Baby potatoes have tender skins only if they are truly babies, rather than mature but small potatoes. Yes, a number of miniature vegetables are not baby vegetables, but vegetables that never get large. Tom Thumb is a butThere are things were doing already, standard, that arent in the regulation.

Comments will be used as direction for a smaller group of district employees who will work together to nalize the new policies. Employees at all school sites will have the opportunity to weigh in on the changes before the discussion is brought back to the board. While the board didnt discuss it, a March 4 eld trip sparked the need to review the policy. On March 4, 20 Kennedy Middle School students went to Stulsaft Park in Redwood City. Three months later, during the last week of school, two 12-yearold girls told a school counselor they were almost raped by ve boys. School ofcials say the group were chaperoned by a teacher and an aide in accordance with the districts 10 to one ratio policy. Parents of the involved students were notied by phone and met with law enforcement. Parents of other Kennedy students were notied through a letter. The serious allegations resulted in legal trouble for the boys as well. Thus tercrunch type of lettuce that matures to heads the size of tennis balls.

Mini-veggies can be cute, tasty, easy to grow

By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Many gardeners aspire to grow a humongous pumpkin or head of cabbage. And many of the same people are also attracted to miniature vegetables witness all those bags of mini carrots lined up on market shelves. Those carrots are just one of many miniature vegetables you can easily grow yourself. Cuteness must be one of the appeals of miniature vegetables. Just picture pearl onions swimming in a steaming bowl of peas, a plate of buttery, baby potatoes, or those glazed, lilliputian ears of corn mingling with water chestnuts and snowpeas in chow mein.

FORCE THEM TO BE SMALL

Some vegetables or vegetable varieties that arent normally miniature dont mind being made so. I set my cabbage plants only a foot apart for just this reason. For even smaller cabbages, grow them in spring and then, in summer when you harvest, cut the head off rather than pull up the whole plant. More than one new head will develop right where you cut. Snap off all but two, three or four of those new, developing heads according to how big you want them to grow. The British evidently nd normal cauliower heads too large, so developed what they call mini-caulis. All it takes to grow mini-caulis is to plant them at a 6by-6-inch spacing. This is an easier way to grow cauliower, and what you end up with is a single portion. far, four of the ve boys, ages 13 to 14 years old, admitted participating in the attempted sexual assault. Three boys admitted to committing a lewd and lascivious act on a minor under 14, each received a 120-day sentence at the Youth Services Center, the countys juvenile hall. A fourth boy admitted to sexual battery and received 60 days. A fth boy has not settled his case and is scheduled in October for a pre-trial hearing on an undisclosed matter, according to the District Attorneys Ofce. The district launched an internal investigation of the specic incident and overall safety policies for eld trips. Citing condentiality of staff and students, district spokeswoman Naomi Hunter said she cannot disclose details of the investigation. In other business, the board nalized preschool cuts due to a loss of funding. The district got word in June that the state would not allocate about $500,000 in funding for state-subsidized preschool. At that time, the board approved a preschool reduction plan as a precaution. Last night, the plan was nalized to close three full-day classrooms resulting in the elimination of three teachers and reduction in work for two others.

School District Board of Trustees Wednesday night, giving direction to a smaller group that will nalize recommended changes. The policies are expected to be updated by the end of September. Any time we have a situation, an incident we feel requires us to take a deeper look at our policies, thats our practice, said Superintendent Jan Christensen. Among the changes are straightforward remarks like clearly stating eld trips require adequate supervision and transportation. Trustee Shelly Masur said such a change may seem like common sense, but the district wants to be clear. Another change would be requiring all adults on the eld trip like teachers or parents serving as chaperones to sign a form that outlines the expectations of that person while on the eld trip. Board President Alisa MacAvoy explained the current board policy and administrative regulations on eld trips are in line with neighboring districts. Field trips are encouraged to enrich academic offerings, she added.

For children, the excitement of moving into a new home is often clouded by uncertainty. Parents can ease the transition starting at the dinner table. The ritual of sitting down to a family meal can help kids start to feel at home, said Nancy Darling, a psychology professor at Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio. She also urges adherence to bedtimes. When kids feel like everything is changing, they need that stability, she said. They need attention and stability. That may mean anything from choosing familiar paint colors in the new house to letting kids be part of decorating decisions. Barbara Miller, an interior designer in Portland, Ore., who has moved with her children three times, painted their new rooms the same color as their old ones. I try to keep things as much the same (as possible) especially if theyre nervous, said Miller. Moving can be more disruptive for kids than parents realize, added Doug Tynan, a child psychologist with the Nemours Foundation in Newark, Del. Be prepared to handle tears or unusual behavior as children adjust to their new setting, he said. Dont take it personally if they walk into a wonderful new house and burst into tears, said Tynan, who estimates it takes ve to six weeks for children to adjust to a move. He recommends that parents talk openly with children about the move as soon as they decide its going to happen. The more information the better, he said. Be as up front as possible. When John Seyerles fellowship was ending at a hospital in Columbus, Ohio, he and his wife, Maria, told their daughters, Anna, 8, and Sophia, 5, that a move might be in their future. When he took a job in Cincinnati, the couple took the girls house hunting. We did talk about what their criteria were for a new house, Maria Seyerle said. They wanted a swing set and tub with jets. The girls, who got their swing set shortly after moving into their new home in June, have adjusted well, Maria Seyerle said. Thats not to say that they dont have their moments of being sad, she said. Weve made it clear that we have mixed emotions too. Tynan, Darling and Miller offered these additional tips to help children adjust to a new home: Introduce children to their new home: If possible, take them to the new house before the move. If they dont have a chance to see the interior, take photos or show them the online listing. Talk about how the family will use the new spaces. Let them help arrange their new space: Give kids a oor plan of their new room and let them decide where to place the furniture. Show them their new school: If the school has a website, spend time online getting to know the building and its teachers. Arrange to visit the school in person as soon as possible. Pack with care: Pack the kids room last so they face as little disruption as possible. Unpack their room rst at the new house. Let them help: Give children a box to pack. Tell them to put their most valuable possessions in it. If possible, let them carry the box with them when traveling to the new house. Show kids around the new house: When you arrive, take kids on a tour. Point out the location of light switches, bathrooms and other useful details. Make sure children know how to get to their parents room during the night. Consider using night lights or placing glow-in-the-dark stickers on light switches to help kids feel more comfortable. Take them around the neighborhood: Visit a playground or other attractions they might like. Point out positives, such as proximity to a pool, ball eld or ice cream shop. Keep children active: Sign them up for sports teams, classes and other extracurricular activities as soon as possible. If the move occurs during the summer, try to register for a camp or class that will include local kids.

ou would never know it by the weather, but summer is wrapping up. It is time to harvest summer vegetables. As space becomes available in your vegetable garden, begin planting cool season vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, spinach and onions. Before early September, prune your apricot or cherry tree. Both are susceptible to Eutypa fungus, which causes severe gumming around previous pruning wounds and branch dieback. Pruning now, a good six weeks before winter rains start, helps prevent the disease. You also want to remove old, broken and diseased branches. This is also a good time to deeply water all trees and shrubs. Trees should get a drenching as far down as two feet. A soaker hose is great for this. Lay it at on the ground and wrap it around the tree several times, beginning several feet away from the trunk and ending just past the drip line (The drip line is the outer circumference of the trees branches the outermost circle of where rain would drip from the leaves). Prune your berry vines after harvest. For you ower growers, give your roses and all blooming plants another shot of fertilizer this month. Use a balanced fertilizer (The numbers on the package of fertilizer should be about equal, such as 10-10-10). Keep those owering beauties going strong by deadheading: removing dead or spent ower heads. If you dont, your plant will think it is to time to make seeds instead of owers. While you are deadheading, check the health of your plant. Any aphids lined up along the stems? (These are tiny, soft-bodied, sucking insects that can be black, green or yellow. They are easy to squish. The squeamish among you can blast them away with a jet of water from the hose. Still, you might just want to wait and see if their natural predators come in and take care of them). Is the plant rootbound in its container? (Poke your nger into the soil. Are you immediately feeling a thick mat of roots? That means the plant has outgrown its container, and either needs to move into a large abode or have its root mass trimmed). Are leaves looking a healthy green

or a sickly yellow? (Chlorosis is a problem that often pops up in mid-summer in California. It is caused by a lack of iron or zinc. Chlorosis makes new leaves turn yellow, or causes the veins of older leaves to stay green while the rest of the leaf turns yellow. There are other reasons for yellow leaves, including a lack of nitrogen and too much light). If you havent divided your bearded irises in the last two to four years, do it, and before mid-September. Bearded irises need to be dug up, divided and replanted about every couple of years or they will pretty much stop blooming. Check nurseries for autumn-blooming bulbs, such as the spectacular spider lilies (lycoris) and fall crocuses (crocus specious and crocus sativas). You should also nd other gorgeous bulbs, such as clivia, freesia and watsonia. Until next time, happy digging!

Science can be stylish

By Kim Cook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

You dont have to be a lab geek to appreciate the aesthetic appeal of many aspects of science. Theres something graphically poetic about a blackboard full of math formulas. Laboratory vessels epitomize simple yet elegant purposefulness. And more broadly, so many of the sciences astronomy, geology, chemistry, for example are lled with elements that can be interwoven into a rooms decor for a look thats offbeat and chic. Pottery Barn has some interesting early 20th century Romanian tonic and elixir bottles with cool labels that would make an interesting display. At Think Geek, theres a clever cocktail set that includes an Erlenmeyer ask and testtube shot glasses, plus a glass mixing rod eighth-period Chemistry was never this fun. Theres a chalkboard-style wall clock with the hours depicted in mathematical formulas, which will either fascinate or frighten your households time watchers. Find here too a glass beaker mug for the mornings brew of hot trimethylxanthine. A kinetic motion clock with steel rolling balls a real time machine is at CoolStuffExpress.com. Porcelain shakers

labeled with salt and peppers chemical names would make a fun gift. For earth science lovers, consider Plantation Goods amethyst crystal bowls and spheres unusual and beautiful collectors items. Aspiring entomologists will love the intricately carved bone insects and sea creatures. These detailed, articulated sculptures were rst crafted in iron by 18th-century sword makers and later applied to rst ivory, now bone. There are butteries, dragonies, craysh, crab and lobsters. Globes are great items to decorate with. Look for cool antique ones that depict the world in early congurations. If youre lucky, you may even nd lunar globes; early versions are blank on one side, because before 1960, nobody knew what was on the dark side. The USSRs Luna 3 probe found out in 1959, but the Cold War meant Americans had to wait till 1968 when Apollo 8 orbited the moon to update our globes. Globes look great as a collection on the perimeter of a room, on a high shelf or gathered on a sideboard so guests can explore them. Hang several inexpensive ones from the ceiling for an interesting take on a mobile. Desktop versions take full advantage of todays technology. Earth Tech Products has the Terra Magic rotating globe, which oats and rotates above any at surface.

Insect control is for the birds

By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

One of my favorite things about sitting outside during the summer is watching all the bird activity in our yard. We have a lot of mature trees on our property, and the house is situated at one end of a reservoir that is close to a mile long and half as wide. Between our house and the pond lies a beautiful marsh lled with cattails and other assorted wetland plants. A stream flows through the marsh, emptying into the reservoir and providing a watery highway of sorts for a variety of birds. At any given moment during the day, dozens of tree swallows and barn swallows can be seen slicing through the air just above the marsh with the grace of Olympic gure skaters. Barn swallows dine exclusively on insects, and they hunt on the wing. I like to think that, without the barn swallows, the mosquito population would be out of control. But the truth is, after 9 p.m. the mosquitoes are pretty close to unbearable, so either the swallows are going to have to start eating more or Im going to have to put up another barn to attract more swallows. There are other birds that help keep the insect population on our property in check, and I am quite certain that they are responsible for reducing the number of insect pests that plague my vegetable garden. Song sparrows, catbirds and goldnches are constantly ying in and out of my vegetable garden. They are attracted to the sound of running water from the fountain in the center of the garden. While there, they seem to help

themselves to the always-present insects that enjoy munching on my vegetables. The great thing about having a varied avian population on your property is that during the summer months most birds have nests full of hungry mouths to feed, and the majority feed their young a diet of high-protein insects. The more nesting birds you have, the fewer insects you will have. Some people keep their birdfeeders lled during the summer months to attract birds to their yards. I prefer to use running water. I nd that the sound of running water attracts a greater variety of birds than birdfeeders do, especially during the hot, dry months of July and August. The one feeder I do keep lled, however, is my thistle feeder. Thistle seed, often called nyjer seed, is a favorite food of goldnches. Their bright yellow and black plumage, cheerful demeanor, and he fact that they travel in small ocks livens up my garden and provides hours of enjoyment. Goldnches are adept at eating the small, high-fat, high-energy thistle seed better than most birds, and they pretty much have the

feeders to themselves. Here are a few tips for attracting more birds to your garden this summer: Add a small fountain with running water. The sound of running or dripping water will attract numerous species for a bath or a quick drink. Kits for deck railing fountains are available and work well too. Consider adding a thistle feeder. These tube-shaped feeders can be easily hung from shepherd hooks in perennial borders or at the edge of shrubs. Birds such as goldnches, purple nches and chickadees will frequent these feeders to get the energy-packed seed. For an alternative type of feeder, try placing grape jelly on a at dish at the edge of your porch or deck. Birds like catbirds and Orioles relish the sweet treat and will be frequent visitors once they discover it. Attracting more birds to your yard will provide colorful activity for you to enjoy, while helping to rid your garden of leaf-chomping insect pests.

Decks getting fancier but easier to maintain

By Dee-Ann Durbin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The deck has gone high tech. Wood decks are rapidly being replaced by plastic, aluminum and other man-made decking materials, which are prized for their easy maintenance. Builders are making decks into showpieces, with multiple levels, custom railing and other perks. Even wood is getting an upgrade, with some buyers seeking out rare, tropical hardwoods for their durability. When Ron Spillers rst began building decks in the Seattle area 20 years ago, the average deck was made of cedar and cost less than $5,000. Now, Spillers company, West Coast Decks, charges closer to $20,000. Thats partly because 90 percent of his customers choose man-made decking materials, which are 40 percent more expensive. Spillers, who builds 140 decks a year, said business is booming again after a two-year slump. Theres a lot of pent-up desire to x up homes instead of buying new ones, he said. People arent afraid to take a risk on a $20,000 to $30,000 deck project. You dont even have to spend that much to have a great deck. A simple cedar deck with no railings or benches can cost around $15 per square foot, including labor and materials, Spillers said. Man-made materials tack on cost, but you can pay that back over time because you will spend less on sealants and cleaning products. Railings cost around $35 per foot. No matter how much you spend, an investment in a new deck will pay dividends. According to Remodeling Magazines 20102011 survey, homeowners who build a deck can get up to 73 percent of their investment back when they sell their home. Here is a rundown of the various decking materials on the market, their advantages and disadvantages, and how much they cost: Wood. Most homeowners still choose

wood when they build a deck, for its cost as well as its authentic look, according to Bill Fields, vice president of lumber sales at Lowes, the home improvement chain. Its also durable. The undersides of most decks, even plastic ones, are still made of pressuretreated lumber, although steel frames are starting to come into the market. Pressure-treated pine is the least expensive material, and costs as little as $10 per square foot including labor (or around $2 per square foot to buy and build yourself). Cedar and redwood are popular but more expensive options. At the top end are hardwoods like ipe, which is grown in South America and is closer to $30 per square foot. There are downsides to wood. It tends to change color, crack and absorb stains. It also requires more maintenance, including cleaning and staining every year or two. And some hardwoods arent harvested sustainably. Composite. Composite decking is made of plastic and wood ber. Trex was one of the rst brands on the market 15 years ago; TimberTech and Fiburon are other brand names. Composite looks a lot like real wood, but its less likely to rot or get infested with insects than real wood, and its less slippery. Its also easier to maintain; it doesnt need staining and it can be washed off occasionally with a deck cleaner. Because it contains up to 50 percent wood, composite is still more susceptible to stains and mildew than plastic decking, according to Consumer Reports. It will also lose 10 percent to 15 percent of its color over time. It

costs around $18 to $25 per square foot, including labor, to install composite decking. Trexs Transcend brand has a limited 25year fade and stain-resistance warranty. Plastic. Plastic, or PVC decking, is newer to the market and is basically composite without the wood ber. Azek is one of the major manufacturers. Plastic decking is less likely to stain and fade than composite, and it stays cooler in direct sunlight. Its also more expensive, since its petroleum-based. Get Decked, a Philadelphia-area deck building company, installs Azek for $34 per square foot. When plastic decking rst hit the market, it didnt look much like wood, but manufacturers have made a lot of improvements over the last decade, Spillers said. Azek has a limited lifetime warranty for residential customers, but a 20-year warranty for commercial ones. Many companies, including Trex, are also now making slightly less expensive hybrid decking, with a plastic coating over a composite shell. Aluminum. Aluminum has long been used in deck railings, but is sometimes used for the decks themselves. Aluminum decking is light but tough, slip resistant and lasts a long time. LockDry is one of the major brands on the market. LockDry is built to be waterproof, so its a good choice for a deck built over a living space. Another manufacturer, Versadeck, promises that its decking wont have the ping sound that comes from walking across aluminum. Aluminum decks generally offer limited lifetime warranties. But the bottom line: Aluminum wont be mistaken for wood. It comes in fewer colors than composite or PVC and doesnt have the warmth of wood. Its also the most expensive option, starting around $1 to $2 more per square foot than plastic, according to Consumer Reports.

Involvements in shared enterprises can represent a promising future for you in the next year. For best results, team up with someone who has experience and knowledge you lack, while you fulfill what she or he missing.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Being in a gregarious mood is likely to produce a more industrious you. Youll find that spending your time productively gives you a bigger lift than does wasting your time doing nothing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Business and pleasure can make a compatible mix if you know how to

handle it. Be responsible and serious when discussing the job, and a free spirit when you can take a break or when the work is finished. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Even if you should be a slow starter, there are strong indications that youll still be a strong finisher. When you get out ahead, forget about looking back to check on the competition. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Plan your schedule so that it contains plenty of activities that involve mobility of purpose and freedom of movement. You arent likely to be productive if youre anchored in one spot. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be sure to take a hard look into all your windows of opportunity. Youre in a brief cycle where the possibilities for material growth are especially strong.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Productivity and

effectiveness can be greatly enhanced by delegating some key assignments to various competent allies. Utilize all your avenues to reach your goal. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You should be able to devote plenty of time to taking care of all of your urgent responsibilities as well as your personal affairs, if you can discourage others from hanging onto you. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- The best way to elevate your hopes and expectations is to think and act like a winner and not get so easily discouraged over minor, negative influences. Try it, youll like it. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Everyone is appreciative of receiving compliments, but if you listen carefully, they could significantly help you measure

just how much progress youve made on any one particular achievement. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Although youll take all your involvements seriously, youll still be quite philosophical about their outcome. This unruffled attitude makes what you have to do much easier. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Partnering with others for a common cause is once again your strong suit. Youve found that sharing something in common with another is an extremely rewarding pastime. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- As long as another is able to contribute something you cant, a partnership arrangement can be quite advantageous for you. Life is easier when someone else is sharing half the burdens. COPYRIGHT 2011 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
