Half Moon Bay hit by another land use lawsuit


By Dana Yates
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Half Moon Bay was hit with yet another lawsuit this week claiming the city bypassed laws when it developed a small park at the end of Oak Avenue. The Cypress-by-the-Sea Homeowners Association alleges the land was literally seized by Half Moon Bay without compensa-

tion in January, 2007. It is now seeking more than $1 million for the land and the noise and trafc the tenants of the eight-unit Cypressby-the-Sea condominium complex have to deal with since construction of the park. The property in question was deeded to a private owner in the 1970s. San Mateo County Tax Assessor records indicate the condo owners and previous owner continu-

ously paid taxes on 100 percent of the property since its purchase, according to the lawsuit. At no time since March, 1976 have the records of the Tax Assessors Ofce shown that [the city] has any ownership whatever in the property, the association cited in the lawsuit. In 2004, the city began to acquire land on the north side of Oak Avenue to create Oak Park. Owners

of the property in question were not aware of the citys intent to develop land west onto their private property. In a series of public meetings, the property owners expressed concerns that if the city built on its land, that is offer proper compensation, according to the lawsuit. The city acknowledged the rightful expectations of the unit owners both on and off the record. The reassurances lulled owners into a

sense of security of the citys good faith intentions, In May, 2005 the owners heard nothing more about the discussion, according to the lawsuit. On Jan. 17, 2007, condo owners awoke to work crews staking the property they owned for construction of the park, according to the lawsuit.

Bodybuilder takes suit to federal court

EVAN MEW/DAILY JOURNAL

Early in the morning before the sun comes up,hundreds of workers are unloading and loading trucks lled with all sorts of produce at the Golden Gate Produce Terminal in South San Francisco.

The diabetic bodybuilder clubbed and arrested in April 2007 by Redwood City police who allegedly mistook insulin shock for intoxication sparking international attention and a failed claim against the city and ofcers moved his lawsuit to federal court. Dismissing the San Mateo County case and reling the matter within federal jurisdiction gives Doug Burns greater opportunity to recoup damages for violations of his civil rights, said defense attorney Don Galine.

The civil rights violation stems from the police officers unreasonable seizure and use of excessive force, the lawsuit states.

Produce central

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Its 4:37 in the morning and everyone should be comfortably asleep, dreaming of things that have or havent been, may or may not be. No one should be working at this ungodly hour. At the Golden Gate Produce Terminal, located at 131 Terminal Court, South San Francisco, however, 4:37 in the morning is when things are at their most hectic. Trucks stretch on as far as the eye can see. Men are busily scurrying all about and shouting directions in a multitude of languages. There is constant movement all around and

while it is very much a carefully organized, choreographed chaos, the uninitiated might find themselves overwhelmed and dizzy, just trying to take it all in. It is best to be alert and keep ones head on a swivel. After all, itd be a fairly ironic way to go, surrounded on all sides by healthy, fresh fruits and vegetables, only to be run over by some forklift. There are more forklifts here carrying apples than there are apples at your local grocery store, and they all mean business, their drivers darting and steering them around turns and trucks, people and produce, probably faster than they should be. Their synchronous beep-beep-beeping

maddening is at rst, but seems hardly noticeable a half hour in. Peter Carcione, the owner of Carciones Fresh Produce and the elected president of the Golden Gate Produce Terminal, has been in the produce business for 39 years. His father did it before him and his father before him. He wishes the hours of it wouldnt have to be this way. Ive been trying for years to get people to open up later. I want everyone to open 6 in the morning. The produce comes in cool and it lasts, its not like the old days when you had to sell it right away. But so

On June 21, 1788, the United States Constitution went into effect as New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify it. In 1834, Cyrus Hall McCormick received a patent for his reaping machine. In 1908, composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov died in Lyubensk, Russia, at age 64. In 1932, heavyweight Max Schmeling lost a title ght rematch in New York by decision to Jack Sharkey, prompting Schmelings manager, Joe Jacobs, to exclaim: We was robbed! In 1948, the Republican national convention opened in Philadelphia. The delegates ended up choosing Thomas E. Dewey to be their presidential nominee. In 1963, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Montini was chosen to succeed the late Pope John XXIII; the new pope took the name Paul VI. In 1964, civil rights workers Michael H. Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James E. Chaney disappeared in Philadelphia, Miss.; their bodies were found buried in an earthen dam six weeks later. In 1973, the Supreme Court, in Miller v. California, ruled that states may ban materials found to be obscene according to local standards. In 1982, a jury in Washington, found John Hinckley Jr. not guilty by reason of insanity in the shootings of President Reagan and three other men. In 1985, scientists announced that skeletal remains exhumed in Brazil were those of Nazi war criminal Josef Mengele.

assertion of this privilege is selfserving and not based on the appropriate law and rules, Waxman said from the dais of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing room. I dont think weve had a situation like this since Richard Nixon was president when the president of the United States may have been involved in acting contrary to law, and the evidence that would determine that question for Congress in exercising our oversight is being blocked by an assertion of executive privilege, he said. Waxman said he wanted to review Attorney General Michael Mukaseys rationale for the executive privilege claim before deciding what to do next. He said he would not abandon his attempts to get what he wants from EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson and Susan Dudley, administrator for information and regulatory affairs at the White House Ofce of Management and Budget. Executive privilege, while not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, is grounded in the constitutional doctrine of separation of powers and is sometimes invoked to keep executive branch deliberations private. Bush has also asserted executive privilege to keep his chief of staff, Josh Bolten, and former White House counsel Harriet Miers from having to provide information to Congress about the ring of a group of U.S. attorneys in what Democrats consider a political purge. In February the Democratic-led House voted to hold Miers and Bolten in contempt of Congress despite the assertion of executive privilege. When Mukasey refused to refer the contempt citations to a federal grand jury, the House Judiciary Committee sued in federal court to enforce them, arguing that Bush was making an overly broad use of executive privilege. Waxman contends the White House intervened with EPA to produce more industry-friendly outcomes in setting new smog standards and denying California and more than a dozen other states permission to cut greenhouse gas emissions from cars and trucks. EPA and White House ofcials have turned over thousands of pages of documents in response to Waxmans subpoenas, but Waxman contends they are keeping back some that would clearly reveal President Bushs role. These include documents about Bushs participation in the smog

White House asserts executive privilege in EPA dispute


By Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President Bush asserted executive privilege Friday to withhold documents from a congressional investigation into whether he pressured the Environmental Protection Agency to weaken decisions on smog and greenhouse gases. White House ofcials notied a House committee of the rare assertion about 15 minutes before the committee was to vote on holding the head of the EPA and a White House budget ofcial in contempt of Congress for not providing the documents. The committees chairman, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., then canceled the vote while expressing skepticism over the privilege claim. I have a clear sense that their

decision, talking points on the smog rule for Johnson to use with Bush, and communications about preparing talking points for Bush to use in discussing the greenhouse gas waiver with California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. These documents and others are referenced in a June 19 letter from Mukasey to Bush supporting a claim of executive privilege to block their release. The letter was provided Friday to Waxmans committee. I believe that publicly releasing these deliberative materials to the committee could inhibit the candor of future deliberations among the presidents staff in the (Executive Ofce of the President) and deliberative communications between the EOP and executive branch agencies, particularly deliberations concerning politically charged issues, Mukasey wrote.

Calif. officials: Bureaucracy failed abused 5-year-old boy


By Allison Hoffman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The little boys body was a study in pain. He was covered in cigarette burns, including to his genitals. He couldnt fully open his hand because it had been burned on a stove. His tooth was broken with a nerve exposed. And he had been made to

sit in his own urine and feces, authorities say. As the 5-year-old remains hospitalized by kidney failure brought on from malnutrition, two county supervisors are blaming welfare and law enforcement agencies for missing earlier chances to rescue the child from what police say were months of unbearable psychological and physical abuse.

The case came to light after a woman called a hotline June 4, saying the boy told her at a commuter train station that his mother had burned his hand on top of a stove. Summoned to a county Department of Children and Family Services office, authorities say Starkeisha Brown brought her baby sitters healthy 4-year-old son and daughter and tried to pass them off

as her own. Brown and her girlfriend ran from the ofce when a social worker questioned whether the child was really Browns, authorities say. The boy was found nearby, after someone called 911 to report that a sick child with bruises had been left with a homeless person. The child was taken to a hospital with a round belly common in cases

of severe malnutrition. Police were shocked by injuries that showed the abuse was horric and prolonged. Ive never seen anyone with these kinds of injuries who has lived, Assistant Police Chief James McDonnell told reporters last week. This kid must have a tremendous will to live, to be able to still hang on despite what hes been through.

On the site sits a historic duplex at 323 Miller Ave. Instead of demolishing the house, South City hopes to nd it a new home. We want to try and keep it. Its been a part of the city for a long time, said Community Development Coordinator Joy Adams.

NEWBURGH, N.Y. Police say a New York man cut a hole in a womans couch and hid in the carved-out space until she came home. Newburgh police said the woman sat on the couch Wednesday evening and felt a bump in the cushions move. She jumped up and David Joe Limones emerged from his hiding place, knocking a cell phone out of her hand. The woman was on the phone with a friend when she entered her apartment because she had led an

earlier complaint against Limones and was worried he might be there. Police said she had asked the friend to stay on the line and call police if something went wrong. When ofcers arrived, they found Limones and the 22-year-old woman arguing on the apartments balcony. Limones, 27, faces burglary and other charges. He is being held on $20,000 bail. County ofcials, including those at the public defenders ofce and the sheriffs department, were unable to provide the name of Limones lawyer. long reptile Friday in the rivers South Branch. The alligator didnt try to attack anyone and was safely pulled from the river by a reptile expert, said Anne Kent, director of the citys Animal Care and Control Department. The alligator was probably a discarded pet, ofcials said. Its now in the custody of the reptile expert.

dized by commercial interests: Baby clothing stores, toy stores and childrens furniture manufacturers. Then there are pre-ripped up and stone bleached rags for barely covering the skins of teenagers below hip height and electronic stores for them to bleed your wallet dry. And ultimately, it is the universities, whose leaders draw down seven gure salaries, which are just waiting to warehouse your charges for at least four years to study basket weaving or lm making or some other useless, non-money making occupations. And, watch out! From the outset, they will be seducing you to bask in the reected glory of the appellation doctor being added to you spawns name. Theyre scheming to get you to extend the incarceration to seven years for a Ph.D., keeping your children from getting jobs and supporting themselves for at least another three years. The culture has changed radically, also. Used to be, you wanted to have children. Today, the children have you. Boys sand lot pickup games are an impossible relic of the past. Among other useless sports, we now have pre-pubertal soccer, basketball, baseball and hockey teams made up of complete strangers from other neighborhoods, offering the opportunity of purchasing equipment and sports uniforms at the same costs as for the pros., which is a lot. And, dont forget daddy coaches need uniforms too. (Ka-ching, Ka-ching.) Maybe the child is only 18 inches tall, but every one of them needs martial arts training to save themselves from the 20-inch tall bullies. And for the girls, it used to be only dancing lessons. Now, there are medical and surgical bills pouring in for the toe breaking and ankle twisting of ballet lessons or the total devastation of young bodies by gymnastics. In the past, piano lessons were dropped upon unwilling and practice-reluctant young. Now, its 50 dollars-a-lesson training, often started at age 4 or earlier, if possible with one-sixth size violins. This is so the child can prepare to engage in the competitive blood sport of musical competitions that might win them a solo spot with some youth orchestra someday. Its no longer the love of the art but the thrill of winning and the heartbreak of losing thats won the day. (I think I heard that somewhere before.) And, post-pubertal is even worse: Dad Im going to take the Beemer tonight. Got a big date, so give me your wallet. You too, Mom! Couldnt they at least say: Please? Leisurely afternoons for moms over coffee and canasta with friends? Forget that. Now, its multiple appointments with family therapists and school psychologists and chauffeur licenses to deliver and pick up small bodies from hither and yon at all hours of the day and the night. Even the American Dream has changed. Before you used to look for your dream house. Now, you look for your dream school district and then try to nd an affordable shack in the neighborhood around it. And another thing, you have no control over the grandchildren either. They used to be called little dividends. Now theyre big expenses. And showing no more respect than their dad, I may add.

All praise Allah,er fathers


t holiday times, I generally try to write something appropriate for the occasion. But, I let Fathers Day pass this year because I felt it might to appear as if I were tooting my own horn. Afterward, I realized I was wrong. I was letting it pass because I was interpreting the name incorrectly. Its not a day for children to have their say about father, that progenitor of families so often ignored and held in contempt. Its a day to let a father have his say about his children. And believe me, I have a lot to say. I wouldnt even be a father if I had been more sophisticated about conception. When my wife said, Lets have children, I thoughtlessly answered OK! believing I could head off that tragic byproduct of connubial bliss. But, no one ever told me about how conception occurs. I still believed if I kept the bedroom windows locked tight at night, the stork would never make it in. Believe me, in summers we had a lot of very hot bedrooms for sleeping at our house. Big mistake! Like Santa, I found they are able to come down the chimney, too. Before, I realized that, two babies had arrived. So, I took defensive measures, converted our replace into a bar. Then, even if the storks made it down to ground level, they would become too drunk to make the delivery. But as for the rst two, there was no one to ask to take them back or exchange for better goods. They were here. So there was nothing I could do about it. No alternative. No hope. No nothing. So, I needed to learn to live with it. Now, thats not very easy, Ill tell you that! When wisdom nally kicked in, I had my rst epiphany, which I will pass on to you free of charge: Dont have children! Tell the stork, Kreitman told you to tell them to take em back. The whole thing is only a sick plot, created, incited and propagan-

friends around to meet their weird grandpa. And, I think they charge for the show too. Im actually writing this from a holding cell at the Houston airport police station. Seems, for the rst time, my son gave me a kind of a compliment for Fathers Day. As we were pulling into the Houston International for my ight home: You know, dad, for years I always thought you were the dumbest father in the world. But, now that Ive grown up, I realize that isnt true. A guy down at work has a father even dumber than you. That unexpected compliment blasted me off. I jumped out of the car and ran the rest of the way to the terminal. Then, I grabbed the rst person I met, who happened to be a Continental Airlines pilot. Kissing him on both cheeks, I exclaimed: Allah is great! My son nally said something nice about me! That Allah is great! didnt set too well with airport and homeland security but they nally took off the cuffs and released me into the custody of my son. And, since my granddaughters were able to convince the pilot I really am weird, hes not going to press charges. So, the upside of this unexpected encounter, I would guess, is they really do love me! So, maybe, there still is hope for a father.

Encouraging our youth
Editor, I wonder if the July 4 parade sponsors working on behalf of Redwood City and its council were going to once again ban our 9- to 11-year-old baton twirlers as they did in 2006 because they held up the marchers on our parade route? Because of that ban, the twirlers were invited to march in Marin or was it Sonoma County? There is nothing like encouraging our young citizens the opportunity to march in parades and demonstrate their individual and team skills, but not by showcasing Redwood City. The only gridlock that Redwood City politics has broken is to speed up the parade. Jack Kirkpatrick Redwood City

Crisis in San Mateo: CEQA Guidelines and Regulation


Editor, I am contacting you to expose that a new environmental impact report (EIR), or at least a subsequent EIR is needed regarding the Bay Meadows Land Company Development schedule to bulldoze Bay Meadows in September. The City Council and Planning Commission of San Mateo have refused to require a new or subsequent EIR. Yet there have been many signicant changes to the project which include global warming and greenhouse gas emissions ramications, additional Caltrain grade crossing uncertainties, which in turn will impact promised trafc mitigation, and recent liquication designation and ood plain designation as severe. If that isnt enough to trigger a subsequent EIR, San Mateo is losing an entertainment and open space facility and that has also not been adequately addressed. The San Mateo Planning Commission and City Council have requested plaques and photos to commemorate Bay

Recent legal rulings in neighboring communities are requiring independent historical resource evaluations prior to redevelopment.

Hey, if lying about consensual sex in the White House can get you there, perhaps one of those 35 articles in impeachment just might give George the boot. But then we always have been more xated on sex then violence anyway. Regardless of the outcome this shows the world that we do care about international law and law breakers.

German women let loose


Editor, Fathers Day and Mothers Day are very familiar to us. Do you know that theres also Wifes Day? In Bonn, Germany, they celebrate Weiblichetag (Wifes Day). On this day, the wives are allowed to go out and do as they please. I have never known how far they really can go to enjoy the day. But when I was there, I saw women drinking, singing, hugging and kissing with strangers on the street. They were having the wildest fun of their lives.

Dont obsess over online home value estimates


By Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Consider it among the unintended consequences of the national housing bust: Homeowners radiating every shade of anxiety after repeatedly visiting online real estate sites that conjure up instant home value estimates. These Web sites, like Zillow.com, Cyberhomes.com and others, offer a trove of information, often through dramatic interactive maps. And they can help prospective buyers dial into a neighborhoods real estate trends, such as which nearby homes have

recently sold and for how much. But for many homeowners, the home value estimates keep them coming back, even though the sites often offer plenty of disclaimers. The sites are packed with so much information that, undoubtedly, some homeowners end up taking the estimates a bit too seriously. Experts say thats a mistake. The percentage of error on these estimates is still very large, says Delores Conway, director of the Casden Forecast at the University of Southern California Lusk Center for Real Estate. If there are not many comparable sales in one area, for example, she

says, the estimates will have huge errors in them. Zillow, Cyberhomes and similar sites use computer-generated automated valuation models to come up with their estimates. The models are necessary, in part, because many homes dont sell all that often, like say, stocks, so its harder to peg what they might be worth. The average homeowner, in fact, moves about every seven years. Still, the different models can lead to disparities sometimes by tens of thousands of dollars from one site to the next. Thats because relevant data, such as whether a homeowner has made

significant improvements, like a state-of-the-art kitchen, can be missing. Or sometimes there are errors in key information, such as county assessor data used to collect property taxes something many sites bake into their estimates. And Web sites that rely on public records data may have problems conjuring a solid home value estimate for properties in the seven states where sales price data is not publicly available. Even in states like California, where housing data are easier to come by, not all sites agree on even fundamental details of a home nevermind its value.

I cross-checked a few properties on several popular real estate research sites Cyberhomes.com, Zillow.com, Redfin.com and RealEstateABC.com and spotted some inconsistencies. In the case of one house currently for sale in Riverside, Calif., for example, Cyberhomes and RealEstateABC had it listed as having three bedrooms and two baths, while Zillow and Redn describe it as a four-bedroom home with two and a half baths. Apparent errors also cropped up regarding another property in Arcadia, Calif., which was sold in February.

WASHINGTON Two weeks after being ousted, Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne said Friday he had a difference in philosophy with his boss, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, on numerous issues not just on the nuclear slip-up that Gates said was his reason for removing Wynne.

On his final day in office, a relaxed-looking Wynne told a group of reporters that he is not angry about being forced out as the top civilian ofcial of the Air Force. He defended his record, saying he had pushed the system pretty hard to ensure that the Air Force is at the leading edge of warghting. He indicated no animosity toward Gates, with whom he said he was not aligned on some key issues.

When you have a difference of philosophy with your boss, he owns the philosophy and you own the difference, he said. Wynne, who took office Nov. 3, 2005 after serving as the Pentagons top weapons buyer, is being replaced by Michael Donley, who will hold the job as the acting secretary pending Senate confirmation as the permanent replacement.

Stocks drop,oil rises


By Tim Paradis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Wall Street
managers were charged with lying to investors causing many investors to ee from stocks. Quincy Krosby, chief investment strategist at The Hartford, said Fridays session saw a conuence of the worries that investors have been grappling with as they try to determine where the economy is headed. I liken it to the GPS system saying recalculating, she said, referring to the markets uncertainty. Theres no clarity, theres no condence. Krosby added: The crosscurrents are coming at a time when the backdrop for the economy appears to be stabilizing. And yet the headline risk is unrelenting. The headlines Friday helped send the Dow down 220.40, or 1.83 percent, to 11,842.69. The blue chips havent closed below 12,000 since March 17, when the market was worried about Bear Stearns Cos. collapsing. Fridays pullback left Coca Cola Co. as the only advancer among the 30 stocks that comprise the Dow. Broader stock indicators also dropped. The Standard & Poors 500 index fell 24.90, or 1.85 percent, to 1,317.93, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 55.97, or 2.27 percent, to 2,406.09. Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 5 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to a heavy 5.15 billion shares compared with 4.44 billion shares

NEW YORK Stocks capped a difcult week with steep losses Friday amid escalating worries about the nancial and automotive sectors and a rebound in oil prices. The major indexes fell by more than 1 1/2 percent on the day, and the Dow Jones industrial average gave up more than 200 points to end at its lowest level in three months. While investors have seen other tripledigit days in the past year since concerns about the economy began emerging, the Dows rst nish under 12,000 since mid-March could deal Wall Street a psychological blow. An afternoon downgrade of automakers helped draw out sellers in the stock market while Treasury prices rose as investors sought the safety of government debt. A Merrill Lynch downgrade of regional banks added to the markets initial anxiety, which ballooned Thursday when Citigroup Inc. warned of signicant debt markdowns for the second quarter, Washington Mutual Inc. announced 1,200 job cuts and Moodys Investors Service decided late in the day to downgrade the two biggest bond insurers. Troubling news about the nancial sector piled up all week, sending stocks to steep losses. Early on, the investment banks posted prot declines, Fifth Third Bancorp said it need to raise $2 billion in capital and two Bear Stearns hedge fund

traded Thursday. Volume was heavy in part because of quadruple witching the simultaneous expiration of four types of options contracts. For the week, the Dow fell 3.78 percent, the S&P 500 lost 3.1 percent and the Nasdaq declined 1.97 percent. Bond prices rose Friday as stocks sank. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 4.17 percent from 4.21 percent late Thursday. Concerns over further tensions between Israel and Iran added to investors worries and pushed oil prices higher. That introduces dramatic uncertainty, Krosby said of the investors reaction to unease in the Middle East. Crude oil futures jumped $2.69 to settle at $134.62 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, recovering some of Thursdays drop of nearly $5 per barrel on news of a fuel price hike in China. Investors are awaiting the weekends meeting in Saudi Arabia of oil producers and consumer nations, which could bring some relief to the problem of soaring oil prices. But many analysts believe the gathering might end up being a mere nger-pointing session. The concerns made for a difcult market. There has to be reticence about getting back in, said Stephen Carl, principal and head of equity trading at The Williams Capital Group. Its denitely an ugly end to the week.

Calif.unemployment rate rises to 6.8 percent


By Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Californias unemployment rate jumped to 6.8 percent in May and the state lost 10,900 more payroll jobs than it generated during the month, state ofcials said Friday. The unemployment rate was 6.2 percent in April and 5.3 percent in May 2007, the Employment Development Department said. The states jobless rate in May was the fourth highest behind Michigan, Rhode Island and Alaska. Californias unemployment rate hasnt been at this level since November 2003, at the tail end of the states recovery from the economic woes wrought by the end of the tech boom, noted Stephen Levy, senior economist for the Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy. There is no question that the state economy is in a slowdown and that the slowdown will probably last for at least another year continuing the pressure on state and local government budgets into 2009 and 2010, Levy wrote Friday. The construction sector, hit hard by the housing bust, accounted for the most

job cuts over the past 12 months, shedding 88,400 positions, a 9.8 percent annual drop. The latest job figures followed a revised loss of 9,100 payroll jobs in April. Mays job and unemployment data echo the situation across the U.S., where employers cut 49,000 jobs during the month. The national unemployment rate jumped to 5.5 percent, the sharpest monthly increase since 1986. The U.S. economy has been slowing for several months under the strain of the housing slump and rising energy costs. About 1.3 million Californians were looking for work in May, up by 115,000 since April and up 300,000 since May last year, the state said. Some 467,300 were laid off, while 107,600 chose to leave their job. The rest were either temporarily employed or new job seekers. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger seized on the grim unemployment gures to tout his administrations efforts to push for an economic stimulus package aimed at adding 12,500 jobs and retrain displaced construction workers. Still, some economists have downplayed the potential impact of the plan,

concluding that, at best, it would have little impact on Californias economy. In all, more than 15.1 million people in California held payroll jobs last month. The state saw job gains in the natural resources and mining, information, and educational and health services sectors. Those gains were offset by losses in construction, manufacturing, financial activities, professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, and trade, transportation and utilities. Several employment sectors, including professional and business services and natural resources and mining, added a combined 138,700 jobs in the past year. The construction, manufacturing, information, financial activities and trade, transportation and utilities sectors lost 157,300 jobs in the same period. Levy expects that most of the states housing-related job losses have probably come to pass. By next year this time, there will be more jobs related to housing in the California economy because building and sales levels have declined so far that some rebound, however modest, is likely, he said.

U.S. asks to rewrite detainee evidence

House passes new surveillance law


WASHINGTON The House on Friday easily approved a compromise bill setting new electronic surveillance rules that effectively shield telecommunications companies from lawsuits arising from the governments terrorism-era warrantless eavesdropping on phone and computer lines in this country. The bill, which was passed on a 293-129 vote, does more than just protect the telecoms. The update to the 30-year-old Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is an attempt to balance privacy rights with the governments responsibility to protect the country against attack, taking into account changes in telecommunications technologies. This bill, though imperfect, protects both, said Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., and a former member of the House intelligence committee. President Bush praised the bill Friday. It will help our intelligence professionals learn enemies plans for new attacks, he said in a statement before television cameras a few hours before the vote. The Houses passage of the FISA Amendment bill marks the beginning of the end to a monthslong standoff between Democrats and Republicans about the rules for government wiretapping inside the United States. The Senate was expected to pass the bill with a large margin, perhaps as soon as next week, before Congress takes a break during the week of the Fourth of July. The government eavesdropped on American phone and computer lines for almost six years after the Sept. 11 attacks without permission from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the special panel established for that purpose under the 1978 law.

WASHINGTON The Bush administration wants to rewrite the official evidence against Guantanamo Bay detainees, allowing it to shore up its cases before they come under scrutiny by civilian judges for the rst time. The government has stood behind the evidence for years. Military review boards relied on it to justify holding hundreds of prisoners indefinitely without charge. Justice Department attorneys said it was thoroughly and fairly reviewed. Now that federal judges are about to review the evidence, however, the government says it needs to make changes. The decision follows last weeks Supreme Court ruling, which held that detainees have the right to challenge their detention in civilian court, not just before secret military panels. At a closed-door meeting with judges and defense attorneys this week, government lawyers said

they needed time to add new evidence and make other changes to evidentiary documents known as factual returns. Attorneys for the detainees criticized the idea, saying the government is basically asking for a lastminute do-over. Its sort of an admission that the original returns were defective, said attorney David Remes, who represents many detainees and attended Wednesdays meeting. Its also an admission that the government thinks it needs to beef up the evidence. Justice Department spokesman Erik Ablin declined to comment on the plan. The discussions were conrmed by several attorneys and ofcials who attended or were briefed on the meeting with the judges and defense lawyers. Its a totally shy maneuver that suggests that the government wants, at the 11th hour, to get its ducks in a row, said Jonathan Hafetz, an attorney representing several detainees. He was briefed on the plan.

McClellan: Bush must blame himself for mistrust


By Laurie Kellman

WASHINGTON If the nation doesnt trust the Bush White House, its the presidents and Dick Cheneys own fault, Bushs former spokesman told Congress Friday. From life-and-death matters on down the rationale for war, the leaking of classied information,

Cheneys accidental shooting of a friend the governments top two leaders undermined their credibility by packaging their version of the truth, former press secretary Scott McClellan said. He described the loss of trust as self-inflicted, telling the House Judiciary Committee that Bush and his administration failed to open up about White House mistakes.

The focus of the panels hearing was the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plames identity, and McClellan said that was a good example of the administration damaging itself by backtracking on a pledge be upfront. This White House promised or assured the American people that at some point when this was behind us they would talk publicly about it. And they have refused to, McClellan said.

Austria accused of shielding Nazi suspect


By William J. Kole
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VIENNA, Austria Milivoj Asner caused a stir just by showing up at a soccer game: The frail 95year-old is ranked No. 4 on a leading list of most-wanted Nazi war crimes suspects. Now Austrias most notorious farright politician, former Freedom Party leader Joerg Haider, has touched off an even bigger scandal by praising Asner as a treasured neighbor who should be allowed to live out his days in peace. This could only happen in Austria, Efraim Zuroff, chief Nazi hunter for the Simon Wiesenthal Center, told The Associated Press. Officials in southern Austria,

where Asner lives openly despite being indicted for crimes against humanity in his native Croatia, contend the retired police Milivoj Asner chief is mentally unfit for questioning, extradition or trial. But Asners recent appearance at a fan zone near his home in the southern city of Klagenfurt where he reportedly looked t and lucid as he and his wife watched Croatia play in the European Championship has some questioning whether this alpine country with a tortured World War II past is

shielding him from justice. Asner stands accused of persecuting hundreds of Jews, Serbs and Gypsies and dispatching them to their deaths in WWII-era Croatia, which was ruled by a Nazi puppet regime. Austria has the habit of closing its eyes, renowned Nazi hunter Serge Klarsfeld told French television Thursday. The Asner case, he said, is fresh proof the country is a safe haven for suspected war criminals. Haiders impassioned defense of Asner has only reinforced that impression. Haider, who brought the Freedom Party into Austrias coalition government in 2000 on a platform tinged with anti-Semitic and xeno-

phobic undertones, is the governor of the province of Carinthia where Asner lives. Hes lived peacefully among us for years, and he should be able to live out the twilight of his life with us, Haider told the newspaper Der Standard this week. This is a nice family. We really treasure this family, he was quoted as saying. Such praise is unconscionable, said Zuroff, who has been pressuring the Austrian government to arrest Asner and hand him over for trial as part of Operation: Last Chance an effort to bring aging top suspects to justice before they die. This is clearly a reection of the political atmosphere which exists in

Austria and which in certain circles is extremely sympathetic to suspected Nazi war criminals, Zuroff said in a telephone interview from Israel. Asner, he added, has never showed any remorse for actions which affected the fates of hundreds of people. Asners indictment alleges he actively enforced racist laws while police chief in the eastern Croatian town of Pozega in 1941-42, and sent his victims to a Croat-run death camp. The Wiesenthal Center ranks him No. 4 on a list of 10 top Nazi fugitives. Asner has maintained his innocence, and in an interview aired Thursday on state-run Croatian television, declared: My conscience is clear.

Officials: Suicide bomber kills 6 in Afghanistan Thai protesters besiege


By Noor Khan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan A suicide bomber attacked a military convoy as it drove through a town in southern Afghanistan Friday, killing ve civilians and one soldier from the U.S.-led coalition, ofcials said. Mohammad Hussein Andiwal, the police chief of Helmand province, said the lone bomber, who was on foot, struck as the vehicles were passing a market area in the town of Gereshk on Friday morning. Andiwal initially reported 10 civilians killed, but said later that city ofcials on the scene had given him mistaken information. He said the ve civilian victims included two children. Four more civilians were wounded, he said.

Lt. Col. Paul Fanning, a spokesman for the U.S.-led force in Afghanistan, said one of its troops also was killed. He declined to release the victims nationality. The blast came a day after a shooting incident in which two soldiers from the separate U.S.-led coalition were fatally wounded in Helmand. An explosion killed four British troops in the province on Tuesday. Recent ghting in Helmand and neighboring Kandahar province has demonstrated the resilience of the Taliban-led insurgency, more than six years after a U.S.-led invasion drove the militia from power. Afghanistans international backers last week pledged more than $21 billion in additional aid, but stressed that it needed to be spent better to bolster an Afghan government beset by cor-

ruption and still with limited authority. On Friday, NATO and the Afghan troops were rounding off an operation to counter insurgents who had infiltrated a fertile valley within striking distance of Kandahar city, the Talibans former capital. The Afghan Defense Ministry said Thursday that the forces had retaken some 10 villages in the Arghandab district and killed 56 insurgents, many of them foreigners an apparent reference to militants based in neighboring Pakistan. Two Afghan soldiers and one civilian also died. But Kandahar provincial Gov. Asadullah Khalid said Friday that the insurgent death toll was over 100. He said villagers reported that some militants had spoken the Pashto dialect of tribes from across the border in Pakistan.

BANGKOK, Thailand Several thousand protesters besieged Thailands seat of government Friday, delivering ery anti-government speeches and singing nationalistic songs as they vowed to stay until the prime minister resigns. After initially scufing with the demonstrators, the police offered little resistance as crowds surged toward and pressed up against a fence on two sides of the Government House, a compound of ornate buildings from the 1920s. The protesters, spearheaded by the Peoples Alliance for

Democracy, claim that Prime Minister Samak Sundaravejs government is a proxy for former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a 2006 military coup. The group led mass protests before the coup, demanding Thaksin step down for alleged corruption and abuse of power. They now accuse Samaks government of interfering with corruption charges against Thaksin and trying to change the constitution for its own self-interest. An almost festive atmosphere prevailed as protesters many of them from Bangkoks middle class waved, cheered and chatted with security ofcials.

Quakes get look at real goal scorers


By Michael Erler
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Not much went right for the San MateoFoster City Joe DiMaggio baseball team on Friday. The Titans simply didnt have it in a 10-6 league loss to visiting Pacica at San Mateo High. The teams met earlier in the season, with San Mateo (8-4) coming out victorious, 7-4. But revenge is best served cold, and Pacica (8-3) was more than happy to exact payback. The outcome was never really in doubt. Pacica scored in each of the rst three innings, highlighted by a pair of two-run home runs from Jason Gilbride and Kris Boele. Since San Mateos eld has no fences, home runs are predicated sometimes on how deep or shallow the outelders play. Gilbrides shot to right eld was hit well but wasnt a blast. However, with the Titans outelder playing in a bit, Gilbride was able to cross home standing up. Boeles homer was a combination of good hitting and a fortunate bounce. He hit a liner to center only to see the ball take a wicked hop over the head of San Mateos R.J. Pagano. By the time Pagano was able to track the ball down, Boele was already rounding third. With San Mateos eld being bone dry, the ball was susceptible to taking a funny hop on a moments notice. Pacica wasnt the only team to benet from the eld conditions. San Mateos Matt Medeiros, who led all hitters with four hits, capped his stellar day with a two-run triple after his ball took an unusual hop and went over the head of Pacicas center elder with two out in the seventh. Medeiros accounted for half of his teams hits, and nished with three RBIs. San Mateo committed three errors to Pacicas none. Gilbride went 3 for 3, while Boele had a game-high four RBIs. San Mateo scored its rst two runs in the fourth, capped by a Medeiros single. Moments earlier Max Camplin scored on a wild pitch. Camplin tripled with one out in the bottom of the seventh before coming home on a Jeff Young single. Pacica broke things open with a ve-run fth, capped by a two-run triple

It's only been 12 games, but already the maiden season for the expansion San Jose Earthquakes must feel like an eternity for manager Frank Yallop. Match after match as he gazes across the pitch at his opponents, he bears witness to sharper passing, better teamwork, and markedly better nishing than anything his squad can hope to muster. His despair reached such depths that when last Saturdays 3-0 thumping at the feet of the Los Angeles Galaxy at Oaklands McAfee Coliseum had mercifully come to an end, he revealed in his postgame press conference he wished one of the Galaxys players played for him and he wasnt referring to overhyped superstar David Beckham. Actually, the man Yallop coveted was a fellow by the name of Edson Buddle, a 27 year-old journeyman fairly anonymous even by Edson Buddle Major League Soccers humble standards. The Galaxy are his fourth stop in the MLS and hes never scored more than 11 goals in any season or made even one All-Star team, yet Buddle singlehandedly tore up the Earthquakes scoring all three goals and he stands as the secondleading scorer for both his team and the league so far this year with eight, trailing only the absent Landon Donovans nine. Or, to put it in another way, Buddle has scored one less goal himself than the entire Earthquakes team has managed in over 1,080 minutes on the pitch and Donovan, who missed the game because of international duty for Team USA, participating in their 8-0 rout of Barbados in a 2010 World Cup qualier, has equaled San Joses output in three fewer games. We played tentative. We dont seem to settle down in this stadium for some reason. In

Giants 9, Royals 4
when I was coming out of the box. Im hour-to-hour. Hopefully, it will feel better tomorrow than it does now. Ill see how it is overnight. The Giants, who trailed 4-0 after three innings, scored all of their runs in Ray Durham the sixth with two outs off relievers Yasuhiko Yabuta (1-3) and Carlos Rosa.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Giants may have lost Ray Durham to a sprained ankle, but the play that knocked him out of the game virtually assured them of a win. Durham sprained his right ankle while hitting a bases-clearing double in a four-run sixth inning, and San Francisco rallied for a 9-4 victory Friday night that snapped the Kansas City Royals ve-game winning streak. It actually happened on the swing, Durham said. When I planted, it didnt do what it was supposed to do. I actually yelled

Durham, who was 2-for-19 and failed to drive in a run on the Giants just-completed homestand, went 3-for-4 to raise his average to .294, and scored two runs before leaving. I just had to be ready to get one that I could handle and I did that, he said. I just wanted to put the ball in play. You put the ball in play anything can happen, especially with the bases loaded and a tie game. After giving up three runs on three hits in the rst, Matt Cain (4-5) limited the Royals to two singles both by Joey Gathright and one was a bunt to pick up just his second victory since May 13.

After giving up three in the rst, you denitely put the pressure on yourself, Cain said. You just try to go out and keep it at zeros after that and just try to give your team a chance to win. Its just one inning. Obviously, its a big crooked number, but there is still a whole lot of game left. If you cant live with yourself for giving up runs every once in a while or all in one inning, I just dont think you can pitch. Cain worked eight innings, matching his season high, and allowed four runs, three earned, with eight strikeouts and one walk.

No pressure as Montoya tries to repeat


By Jenna Fryer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SONOMA The pressure was on Juan Pablo Montoya last year when he arrived at Inneon Raceway expected to score his rst Cup Series victory. The road-racing ace delivered, winning when he was able to stretch the gas in his No. 42 Dodge all the way to the nish line. Now he's back, without the target, and a much different attitude. Theres no pressure at all, Montoya said. Its a great race to win, but its sort of like Been there, done that. I dont need to win to prove anything. So Montoya is totally at ease heading into Sundays race he has used his time in California to play a round at

the exclusive Sonoma Country Club, shop with wife Connie and enjoy local fare with friends his family. His crew chief, meanwhile, could barely sleep. Montoya might not be feeling the pressure, but Brian Pattie most denitely was. Theres a lot of pressure. A ton, Pattie said before practice Friday. But thats because I want to win a Cup race. And if there was anywhere that the struggling Chip Ganassi Racing team can do it, its on a road course. The team has three road racing veterans running this weekend in Montoya, former IndyCar Series champion Dario Franchitti and former Grand-Am Series champion Scott Pruett. Although Franchitti struggled

through his rst practice around the 10-turn, 1.999-mile course, all three could conceivably challenge for the victory. But its Montoya that everyone looks to lead the charge, and Pattie is responsible for giving him a car capable of winning. The two have only been together a month, as Pattie took over the No. 42 crew in late May in the third crew chief change this season for Montoya. Their four races together have been a frustrating cycle of one step forward, one step back with crashes in Charlotte and Pocono, a 12th-place nish at Dover and then a miserable 38th-place showing last week in Michigan. Despite the results, the duo has nally settled in with each other and are moving forward committed to turning

the team around. He is who he is, and as long as you know that and accept that, you are ne, Pattie said of the passionate Colombian driver. Now theyve turned their attention to Sonoma, where Pattie brought a brand new car and last years notes to give Montoya a chance to win. Because he won on fuel mileage strategy, Montoya isnt shy about admitting he didnt have the best car here last year. Its a sentiment shared in the garage, as some are naming veterans Jeff Gordon (nine career road course wins) and Tony Stewart (six) more credible favorites to win Sunday. Everyone said what a great job he did last year, but he had a 15th-place car last year and just happen to get better fuel mileage than everybody else,

said two-time road course winner Robby Gordon. I dont even look at him as being a threat as much as I do with Jeff or Tony. Pattie disagrees, knowing that his years racing road courses in CART and Formula One give Montoya an edge few drivers can duplicate. Hes got a reputation. An intimidation factor, Pattie said. If you see the 42 coming on your bumper at a road course, I promise you know who it is and how hes going to race. And Montoya wont be bothered by statements like Gordons. His credentials are intact: Seven F1 victories, NASCAR wins on the road courses at Sonoma and Mexico City (Nationwide Series) and a pair of victories in the prestigious 24 Hours of Daytona sports car race.

Surgery could end Schillings career


By Howard Ulman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON Even if he never pitches again, Curt Schilling has left his mark on the Boston Red Sox by helping them win two World Series titles. And thats a distinct possibility now that he faces shoulder surgery. The 41-year-old right-hander, one of the best postseason pitchers in baseball history, will have the season-ending operation Monday after the rehabilitation program preferred by the club didnt work. Coming back from this surgery at 31 would be an enormous challenge, at 41 more so, Schilling wrote on his blog, 38pitches.com on Friday. BUT, if that is an option at least Ill be able to make that decision with all the cards on the table, and it will end on terms I choose. I wont come back throwing 85 with so-so crap. If there is not an option

to come back and be good, I wont. Schillings bullpen session last Friday did not go well. He was examined Monday by his personal physician, Dr. Craig Morgan, who had recommended surgery during spring training. The Red Sox insisted on a more conservative approach of rehabilitation. The 20-year veteran, who hasnt pitched since last season, announced plans for surgery Friday on WEEI radio. Morgan, who operated on Schillings right shoulder in 1995 and 1999, told The Associated Press that he would perform the operation in Wilmington, Del., where he is based. This could conceivably be a career-ending procedure, Morgan said by cell phone from Naples, Fla. Were doing this so that Curt Schilling will have a totally functional, pain-free shoulder for the rest of his life. Morgan estimated recovery time against a guy like that. We had a chance to get him against the ropes. We thought we did. But their offense came back and scored a bunch of runs. Jose Guillen, who leads the American League with 27 doubles, added a two-run double in the rst and scored on Grudzielaneks single. The Royals scored an unearned run in the third when David DeJesus walked, stole second, went to third on Bengie Molinas throwing error

If there is not an option to come back and be good,I wont.

at six-to-eight months. I talked to him yesterday a couple of times, general manager Theo Epstein said Friday. Hes realistic about it. He said, Theres a very good chance that Ive thrown my last pitch. But I think hes also prepared to try to work hard this winter and come back in the second half of the season somewhere. The decision to have surgery didnt surprise Epstein or manager Terry Francona, who have stayed and scored on Mike Aviles sacrice y. We were productive with the few hits we had as far as scoring runs, Royals manager Trey Hillman said. We didnt hit the ball very hard. Hes got real good sink. Hes got good velocity. He moved the ball around pretty well. I was pleased with our approach early, but I thought we would have ended up hitting more balls hard than we did. The Giants got two runs back in

updated on Schillings rehab. The Red Sox have a deep starting staff without him. On his blog, Schilling expressed no regrets and thanked fans. I have not one single solitary thing in any way shape or form to be unhappy about. There is a world full of people suffering far more and far worse than my shoulder, he wrote. To you fans, thank you, thank you, thank you. If it is all over, every single moment and memory Ill take away from my career comes with your involvement and support. The rehabilitation strengthened his shoulder but didnt eliminate the pain in a torn tendon that Morgan had said needed surgery. Morgan said he has no animosity toward the Red Sox and he and team physician Dr. Thomas Gill are on the same page in every aspect of this. Epstein said it was premature to say Schilling wouldnt pitch for the fourth with John Bowker and Rich Aurila driving in runs. The Giants tied it 4-4 in the fth and chased Royals rookie right-hander Luke Hochevar. Vizquel led off the inning with a walk and Fred Lewis singled, extending his hitting streak to a career-high 10 games. Durhams single loaded the bases, and Winns sacrifice fly scored Vizquel before Molinas single tied the game. You cant say enough about how

Boston in the second half of next season, although hes signed only for this year at $8 million. But he didnt sound optimistic. He made a tremendous impact here, Epstein said. He certainly lived up to his end of the bargain and it was a very effective marriage while it lasted. Francona spoke calmly about Schilling before the opener of a three-game series against St. Louis. Maybe because Ive been watching it day to day, its not such a shock, Francona said. Weve been trying to ght this since January. Schilling won World Series with Arizona in 2001 and Boston with sweeps in 2004 against St. Louis and 2007 against Colorado. He started Bostons 2-1 win in Game 2 against the Rockies. But he told WEEI that, If you use a scale of 1 to 10 and 10 is pitching in the big leagues, Im at about 3 right now. Cain settled down, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. He gave us the chance to have the comeback. Aaron Rowands second double scored Winn in the ninth. Notes: Royals catcher Miguel Olivo threw out two base stealers, bringing his season total to 9-for-16. ...Lewis is 14-for-34 (.368) in his 10game hitting streak. ... Winn went 2for-2 with two walks, a sacrice y, a run and two RBIs to raise his average to .303.

NBA draft will finally separate Lopez twins


By Travis Reed
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Brook and Robin Lopez have been playing basketball together since the rst grade. From driveway 1-on-1 to high school in Fresno, Calif., and later at Stanford, the twin 7-footers have never been far apart. So you could forgive them for being sentimental about the future. The NBA draft on Thursday will likely separate the 20-year-olds for the rst time in their lives. But, frankly, youd be wasting the compassion. Its the same adjustments really, its just that I wont have that guy following me around anymore, joked Brook, the elder by a minute. Im denitely not going to miss the guy, thats for sure, retorted Robin, whose bushy mop helps distinguish between the two. All kidding aside, it will be a dramatic change for the Lopez twins, both of whom could be rst-round selections. Besides sharing hoops, they also collaborate on ideas for novels, comic books and screen plays. When Stanford split them up in separate dorms, which is policy for freshmen, Robin spent weekends crashing on his brothers oor. They even talk in the same deep, at pitch, though Brook is more chatty. Were very close. I dont know if best friend would do it, but I guess close friends, Brook Lopez said.

But they are also eager to prove themselves individually at the next level, and it starts with the draft. When the brothers announced on March 31 that they would forgo their nal two years at Stanford for a shot at the NBA, they did so in individual statements. And when draft day comes, theyll be sitting at separate tables in New York. Brook Lopez is projected as a top10 pick, and has worked out with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Seattle SuperSonics, who pick third and fourth, respectively. Known as the better scorer, he averaged 19 points and eight rebounds last season and was named an Associated Press third-team All-American. He scored at least 30 points in four games and had nine double-doubles, but wants to demonstrate more versatility in the NBA. I just think its limiting, he said of the offensive twin label. Id like to show a little more of my inside-out game. At Stanford, it was a little bit difcult for players to D me up in the post, so that was a strength of ours. We just pounded it in the block. But I really feel I could play both the 4 or 5 position. Robin Lopez, who averaged 10 points and ve rebounds last season, embraces his role as a defensive stopper. He had 156 blocks in two seasons at Stanford, giving him the schools second-best career total. The center pulled down double-digit

rebounds in four games, including 10 offensive boards in a season-best 14-rebound performance against Cal. He is projected to go mid to late rst round, and has worked out for the New Jersey Nets, Phoenix Suns and Toronto Raptors. But Robin Lopez is taking it easy now after spraining a foot working out in Santa Monica, Calif., with his brother and other top prospects. I went to the workouts and I played like I felt I shouldve, Robin said. I dont think theres anything for me to prove, not for the people that really and truly matter. Both brothers view Tim Duncan as an NBA role model, for his numbers and work ethic. Hes not really ashy, Brook Lopez said. Just a guy that goes in there and does whats required, does whats asked of him. To help ease the transition to the pros, Brook plans to live with an

older brother. The boys mother Deborah Ledford, who just retired after 33 years teaching high school math and German, could help Robin as a personal assistant, she said. They just turned 20; theyre young, the 6-foot Ledford said. Of course all the draft picks are young, and the top ones are even younger. It has been a long ride for Ledford, who also has two older sons. Alexander, who is 6-foot-10, played a year at Washington before finishing his collegiate career at Santa Clara. Ledford remembers the boys sometimes heated contests in the driveway. It cost her a door screen after things went sour one day. If Brook beat Robin there were no ghts afterward, but if Robin beat Brook then Brook would get quite upset, she said. I can remember him throwing a basketball and breaking the screen. Brook opened the front door and threw the ball, and boom, there goes the screen. The Lopez twins couldnt say who won more of those daily battles there were far too many to count. But it will be hard not to when they meet at the next level, on opposite teams and with much more at stake. Itll be an experience, Brook said, chuckling. Well be playing with fouls.

This was probably our worst game of the

Cink, the 1997 winner at TPC River Highlands, is seeking his rst victory of the season after six top-10 nishes. I hope its just a matter of time, said Cink, who opened with a 66 on Thursday en route to a 10-under 130 total. I hope its a matter of year. While there was little rah-rah from either side, the Pacica players were locked in from the start, nishing with 12 hits. Although its lineup struck out 11 times, it made up for that dubious statistic by producing some big hits on crucial occasions. Pacica assistant coach Jim Parque, Sr., acknowledged the fact that it can be tough getting players to compete hard

about two days. It didnt look good early for Cink, who began the day at 4 under and promptly bogeyed the rst two holes. He got one back with a birdie at the third before knocking in a 26-foot putt for eagle on the par-5 sixth. He bettered that shot by curling in a 49-foot rightto-left eagle putt on the 13th. Mahan shot a 63, the best round of the day, to join Ken Duke and Lucas Glover at 9under. Duke and Glover shot 66s. on a game-by-game basis. The kids arent doing anything all day and all of a sudden they come to the ballpark and its time to play baseball, he said. Thats where as a coaching staff you have to nd a way to motivate the kids during the summer. And the players have to take accountability, too, and I thought they came ready to play today.

VIENNA, Austria Turkey taught the European Championship another lesson in fortitude Friday night to advance to the seminals with a 3-1 shootout victory over Croatia. The Turks needed a tying goal in injury time of the extra period after a 00 draw in regulation, just moments after the Croats seemingly had won it. Semih Sunturk, who later scored in the shootout, got the equalizer from just inside the area off a free kick by goalkeeper Rustu Recber from near mideld. A minute before, Recbers error allowed Ivan Klasnic to score the matchs rst goal, in the 29th minute of

extra time. Recber chased after a ball headed out of bounds, and Luka Modric passed it to Klasnic for a short header. But the Turks, who rallied with two late goals to beat the Czech Republic and qualify for the quarternals, had another dramatic strike in them. After that, it was relatively easy in the penalty-kick shootout. Modric and Ivan Rakitic shot wide, Turkey made its rst three tries, and Recber dived left to save a penalty shot from Mladen Petric to clinch it. Arda Turan, Senturk and Hamit Altintop scored for Turkey in the shootout. Darijo Srna got Croatias only shootout goal. Turkey will face Germany in the seminals on Wednesday in Basel,

Hernandez picked up his second yellow card of the match. The Earthquakes basically put their remaining 10 players behind the ball and played for the tie, generating no offense whatsoever. They almost still lost anyway, but Kyle Beckermans goal in the 72nd minute was ruled offside. The match wasnt exactly Exhibit A for why soccer is known as The Beautiful Game around the world, but hey, a road points a road point. The Earthquakes grueling trip continues tonight at our nations capital against the D.C. United, in what will be San Joses third game in eight days in three time zones. The once mighty United, winner of four MLS Cups, started miserably this season but are on the boil now, unbeaten in their last four, going 30-1 in that stretch. United had an impressive 2-2 road draw at New England, the Eastern Conference frontrunners. Their overall record stands at 5-7-1; good for fth place in the East. Like the Galaxy, theyre an all offense, no defense team, leading their conference with 21 goals scored but dead last in the MLS

Switzerland. Neither team won its rstround group. Until the dying moments, it was a low quality match marked by defensive caution. The depleted Turkish team restricted Croatia to few opportunities by pressing in mideld and not allowing the Croats time on the ball. And Croatia, which won Group B, showed little of the attacking air it used to beat Germany in the opening round. There were a few good chances to score, though. Croatia striker Ivica Olic hit the crossbar in the 19th minute from close range after a low cross from Modric. In the 83rd, Recber, playing for the suspended Volkan Demirel, preserved the shutout when he made a diving one-handed save on a free kick by Darijo Srna.

QUAKES
Continued from page 15
the second half, we had a good talk at halftime and I felt we were getting back into the game and obviously the second goal killed the game off for us. I think the quality of the three goals was very good and I think it showed the difference in the two sides. I think in the mideld the game was very even but in the nal third their nishing was very good and the service to [Buddle] was excellent as well, mourned Yallop. Beckham had a quiet game and was only involved in the rst goal, earning a secondary assist on Buddles sixth minute volley past lunging Earthquakes keeper Joe Cannon. Beckham didnt have to do much against a depleted side like San Jose and it was as if his manager, Ruud Gullit, consciously tried to save Beckhams legs by directing the teams attack through the left side, away from the

Englishman. Beckham probably wore himself out more signing autographs at the mall in Union Square Tuesday, where he made a scheduled appearance promoting his line of underwear. The Earthquakes had one golden opportunity to tie the match in the 40th minute but John Cunliffe missed the net badly when he had a one-on-one chance against Los Angeles goalie Steve Cronin. Buddle scored quickly in the second half on a header from Ante Jazics cross in the 63rd minute and added another for good measure on a similar play in the 68th. The silver lining for Yallop is that he and his team had almost no time to get down on themselves after the loss as they had to leave for Utah shortly afterward for Wednesdays clash with Real Salt Lake already their third trip to The Beehive State. Starting a four game road trip on short rest and with a short roster at a place where theyd previously been outscored 7-1 in two trips didnt sound promising, but the Earthquakes gutted out a 0-0 draw to earn a point, despite playing the nal 50 minutes down a man after defender Jason

with 24 conceded (though we saw where those stats got the Earthquakes against Los Angeles). Also like Los Angeles, they have their own high ying scorer in Brazilian Luciano Emilio, who had a hat trick of his own last Saturday in Uniteds 4-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls, giving him seven goals on the season. Apparently Emilios league leading 20 goals in last seasons rookie campaign wasnt a uke. Also a threat for United is Bolivian Jaime Moreno, a seventime MLS All-Star, four-time MLS Cup champion, the leagues all-time leading goal scorer with 117, and the fth all-time assist maker with 95. Moreno already has ve goals and six helpers this season. It says here that even one point will be too lofty a goal for the exhausted Earthquakes and Cannon will be overwhelmed by the barrage of BBs coming his way. The schedule will have more to do with tonights loss than the hosts, although to be fair to United, the way theyre playing these days, San Jose could rest up for a month and still get badly outclassed.

Stamkos selected No. 1 by Lightning in NHL draft
OTTAWA Steven Stamkos was selected with the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft by the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday night. The Lightning made no secret how much they liked the speedy, offensive-minded 18-year-old forward from suburban Toronto and chose him just minutes after they went onto the draft clock. Tampa Bay, coming off an NHL-low, 31-win seaSteven son, had the rst pick in Stamkos the draft for the second time. The Lightning chose Vincent Lecavalier No. 1 in 1998. Lightning general manager Jay Feaster has been so impressed with Stamkos, that hes already got him penciled in as his second-line center for the upcoming season. Rated the top prospect by NHL Central Scouting, Stamkos is listed at 6-foot and 183 pounds. He produced 197 points (100 goals and 97 assists) in

Graham pleads with judge to toss out conviction for lying


SAN FRANCISCO Disgraced track coach Trevor Graham asked a judge Friday to toss out his conviction for making false statements to federal doping investigators. Graham argued in court papers that even if he did lie he said nothing to hinder the government probe of sprinter Marion Jones and other athletes suspected of lying to authorities about their drug use. Prosecutors needed to prove the lies were material to convict Graham of making false statements. Trevor Graham A federal jury convicted Graham last month of falsely downplaying the relationship he had with the admitted drug dealer Angel Memo Heredia. Graham said he had only spoken on the telephone with Heredia once while prosecutors showed the jury records showing numerous calls between telephone numbers owned by Graham and Heredia. Prosecutors told the jury that Grahams lies slowed their investigation of Jones and the Bay

NBA demands $1.4 million from disgraced referee


NEW YORK The NBA wants disgraced referee Tim Donaghy to pay the league $1.4 million, including his wages for games on which he bet or provided inside tips to gamblers. The written demand, led Thursday in federal court, asks a judge to force Donaghy to pay the sum as restitution in his gambling case. The league previously indicated it would seek $1 Tim Donaghy million. The Donaghy scandal has harmed the NBA and caused it to spend vast sums to undo that harm, league lawyers wrote. In an earlier ling, defense attorney John Lauro accused the NBA of trying to extract the money to punish Donaghy for embarrassing the league with allegations of widespread misconduct by executives and employees including claims that referees rigged games by making bad calls. The league has denied the accusations.

NEW YORK The NFL Network and Walt Disney Co.s ESPN are in talks about a partnership, a person familiar with the talks told The Associated Press. The person requested anonymity because the negotiations are ongoing. A deal could end a long standoff between the league and cable carriers, some of whom said the NFL was asking them to pay too much for its programming. The prospective deal rst was reported by The Wall Street Journal on Friday. The NFLs discussions with Disney are being led by Steven Bornstein, the head of the NFLs cable network who is also a previous chairman of ESPN and president of the ABC network, which is also owned by Disney, the Journal reported.

LAS VEGAS Steve Carell did not necessarily see the Maxwell Smart in himself. Everyone else did, including co-star Anne Hathaway and the studio behind the big-screen Get Smart, which simply called Carell in and offered him the job, no questions asked. Carell takes on the title role created by Don Adams in the 1960s TV show about a brainy but bungling spy, with Hathaway playing his supremely capable partner, Agent 99, a part originated by Barbara Feldon. Created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry as a comic response to James Bond and other espionage adventures, Get Smart has endured in syndication, in follow-up movies and a short-lived second TV series in the 1990s. Directed by Peter Segal, the new Get Smart chronicles Maxs rise from crackerjack analyst to eld agent for U.S. spy outt Control, paired with dubious 99 as they try to foil a plot to distribute nukes to unstable governments. The cast includes Dwayne Johnson as a star Control agent, Alan Arkin as the Chief and bad guy Terence Stamp, who played Kryptonian supervillain Zod and made Christopher Reeve kneel before him in Superman II. Carell and Hathaway chatted with the Associated Press, fondly recalling Feldon and the late Adams, discussing the shows longevity and

to the challenges of working as a eld agent. While its true that doing a dead-on impression of Adams would have seemed campy and fallen at, this characterization misses the point, too. The combination of self-seriousness and ineptitude is what made Maxwell Smart a comic icon. No one involved with this movie seems to get that. In this screen version, Smart and the glamorous, capable Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway, kicking far more butt than Barbara Feldon ever could have imagined) nd themselves in a series of increasingly elaborate, explosive scenarios (hanging from a plane, being dragged behind a

Get Smart, which began its life on TV as a classic sitcom that cleverly satirized Cold War espionage, has been transformed for the big screen into just another standard action picture. Pity, too. Because Agent Maxwell Smart himself would have made a more entertaining movie, just by picking up a camera and bumbling his way through it. You certainly cant complain about the casting of Steve Carell in the lead role: What other actor has the buttoned-down looks and selfdeprecating sense of humor to ll Don Adams shoe phone?

And director Peter Segal (Anger Management, 50 First Dates), working with writers Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember, retains just enough elements of the 1960s TV series to tug at baby boomers sense of nostalgia. Max marches through a series of steel doors and drops through a phone booth to reach CONTROLs underground headquarters; while on the job, he utters a few of those favorite lines like, Would you believe ... ? and Missed it by that much. But tonally, thats where the similarities end. Carells Smart is a good guy hardworking, earnest, desperate to prove hes ready to be promoted from behind the desk as an analyst

ear Peninsula, On behalf of all teens, I am sorry we bash you. I constantly hear teens complaining about the prices, the weather and the people. The less creative of us will even say you are boring and uneventful. But this letter is in spite of all those naysayers, and to say thank you for being wonderful. Thank you for your hiking trails. From Mills Canyon in Burlingame to Mori Point in Pacica, your hiking trails offer days of relaxation, exercise and beauty to those who utilize them. Thank you for the services you offer. Finding a hurt squirrel in the park leads to a phone call, which leads to the Humane Society van stopping by to retrieve the animal. Your seamless services help everything run smoothly. Speaking of services, thank you for the public transportation. BART, Caltrain and even the Burlingame Trolley make accessing everything you offer a breeze, not to mention taking cars off the road and allowing non-drivers to travel. But for when we do have to drive, thank you for Highway 280. Its beautiful. In the spirit of traveling, thank you for your convenient location. You are near San Francisco, San Jose and the East Bay, which means us small-town kids can experience big city life. You are also near beaches, forests, mountains and valleys, which enables your residents to experience nature. Thank you for your farmers markets and natural food stores, which enable those who work, live and play here to buy delicious, organic groceries, making us healthy, strong and happy. Thank you for all of the restaurants, as well. You offer all styles of cuisine for varying price ranges, making the eating out dilemma not nding a place to eat, but picking one. At your various restaurants, I

have fallen in love with Indian, Thai, Chinese, Italian and raw food. Thank you for opening my eyes. As a teen, thank you for your thrift stores. Such stores provide the perfect contrast to the high-priced shops lling your downtown areas, and the gems that can be found in your second-hand shops are priceless. Thank you for the recent weather. When the sun is out and the birds are chirping and the trees lining the streets are lled with fruit, everyone is that much happier, which might be why I so love the Peninsula. I am so thankful that I can call you, the Peninsula, my home sweet home.

Martha Stewart banned from Britain


By Vanessa Gera
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WARSAW, Poland Martha Stewart has been banned from Britain but she got a warm welcome Friday in Poland, her grandparents homeland. The lifestyle guru was planning to visit Britain in the coming days for business engagements, but the Daily Telegraph and other British newspapers reported Friday that she was denied permission to enter because of her 2004 conviction for obstruct-

ing justice. Stewarts assistants conrmed the visa denial, but they gave no other details beyond saying they hope the decision will Martha Stewart be reversed. Martha loves England; the country and English culture are near and dear to her heart, said Charles Koppelman, chairman of Martha Stewart Living because his take on Max is just spectacular. I think the reason Steve Carell seems to t (glances at Carell and laughs) I cant look at you while Im saying this ... Carell: I love it when you use my whole name. Hathaway: The thing about Steve stepping into Dons shoes that makes sense is Steves take on comedy. He can do the big, over-the-top, slightly absurd stuff really well, but he also does the real subtle moments really well. And the thing about Don Adams, he never played Maxwell Smart as a fumbling goon. He played him as a very serious man who didnt know he was in a comedy. And Steves really good at doing that. A lot of his characters dont know that theyre funny, and thats what makes him hilarious. AP: Now the same question for Anne. What do you and Barbara Feldon have in common? Hathaway: I appreciate this question now. Its a tough one. Im so very different from Agent 99, and the bar that Barbara Feldon set and what Barbara Feldons 99 meant to

Omnimedia. She has engagements with English companies and business leaders and hopes this can be resolved so that she will be able to visit soon. On Friday evening in Warsaw, it would have been hard to tell that the headache was hanging over her head. In an elegant home goods shop in the glistening Golden Terraces mall in downtown Warsaw, Stewart was feted by fans eager for a glimpse of the homemaking expert turned business tycoon. She was in the Polish capital to people, Im never going to be able to touch that. The world was in a very different place then. We needed Agent 99. When Barbara Feldon played her, we needed to see a girl who could keep up with the boys, who was smart and who was sexy while being smart. She inspired so many women. When you look at the kind of women we aspire to be today, a lot of them are very similar to Barbara Feldons 99. Theres no way Im going to be able to touch that kind of legacy, but I do think I have good chemistry with my costar, so thats probably what I have in common with her. Carell: Anne was the rst person to come in and do a screen test. It was actually the rst time Id said any of the lines. And after she walked out of the room, we all looked at each other and knew it. It was almost as if everyone else could have gone home at that point, frankly. Id seen a lot of Annes work, but there was a sophistication to her and a slyness and sort of a coolness and a deadpan. And she is a great improviser, too. I tend to

promote her Martha Stewart Living magazine, which was recently launched in Polish, and to open an exhibition of her photographs, scenes of landscapes and gardens that she took herself. During a brief speech, Stewart made a point of stressing the link she feels to the country where all four of her grandparents were born and crediting its hearty cuisine for providing inspiration in the kitchen. She said that her mother, who was a fabulous cook, taught her to play around, especially during an audition, just to find different moments and beats, and she was not only there, following, but leading and sharing it. Hathaway: I always tell people regarding improvising, Steves an abstract expressionist and I nger paint. Im a very good finger painter, but its on a different level. AP: Why has Get Smart endured so well? Hathaway: Its sophisticated family humor. Thats what the show had going for it. My parents watched it when they were kids, and then when it was on Nick at Nite in reruns, I would watch it with them when I was a kid. In addition to it just being so funny was the chemistry that Don Adams and Barbara Feldon had. You couldnt take your eyes off them. It was fun to watch them play. ... Don Adams, people dont remember that he was a fantastic actor. Theres this one episode where he has to pretend hes gone bad and he has to convince 99 that hes gone bad, and he plays it so straight. Its a different Max. Its

Thats a huge element, the writing staff, if you look at the people involved. Hathaway: Steve, youre such a nice person. Im like, It was the actors. The actors are what endured. AP: The movies more an action comedy than a spy spoof. Were you trying to avoid parodying spy icks?

What do you and Don Adams have in common? Carell: Theres a bit of a physical resemblance that would be part of the equation. But aside from that, its hard talking about him in the same breath as myself, because I dont aspire to be as good as he was. Hes iconic and the way he did the character is iconic, and I dont have any pretense of trying to live up to that. If anything, Im just trying to get an essence of what he did as opposed to any sort of imitation or channeling. Hathaway: I thought it was perfect casting.

Jim Broadben and Colin Firth star in When did you last see your father?

Reflection on fathers and sons


t has been said that truth is stranger than ction. Perhaps it should also be said that truth is more powerful than fiction. Why? Because when a writer speaks from the heart, it speaks to all of us about most compelling, universal themes, such as family dynamics, growing up, separation, life-threatening illness, death and grief. So it is with the new lm, When Did You Last See Your Father? which is based upon the real life experiences of writer, Blake Morrison. I saw this lm during the Fathers Day weekend with my son and his father (my husband) which was very timely. The lm touched all of us in different ways and sparked heartfelt, lively conversation afterwards, which is certainly one measure of a good serious lm. As the story begins, we are drawn into the private world of writer Blake Morrison (Colin Firth) and his father, a retired physician (Jim Broadbent) who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and facing imminent death. The lm is told from the sons point of view through a series of ashbacks into Blakes prepubescent childhood and adolescence. We see what it was like for a young boy with an overbearing, insensitive father, and what it was like for teenage Blake to become aware of his fathers failings and

deceitful marriage. We see how communication breaks down, emotions are suppressed, and people become numb even in grief. We also see Morrison come to terms with his grief and begin to heal. Colin Firth and Jim Broadbent are two of Britains nest actors. They couldnt have been better cast. The boys who played the child and the teenager were also excellent and very credible. Juliet Stevenson is also excellent as the longsuffering, sometimes-in-denial mother/wife. It is obvious that the script is based upon reality, which makes it awless, because one cannot improve upon the truth. The emotional and psychological tone is perfect, and is complemented by some very interesting visual imagery, which includes out-of-focus shots, double images, and subtle changes in lighting and shadows. Clearly, everything you see in this lm was done precisely on purpose for specic effects the mark of skilled, even masterful cinema. As for the subject matter, it could not be improved upon. Morrison could easily have become a psychologist, based upon his deep insights into what makes families tick (and not). This is also a sociological portrait of British family dynamics, where painful emotions seethe below the surface, masked by a studly Agent 23, with Masi Oka and Nate Torrence grabbing a couple of laughs as a pair of put-upon CONTROL tech geeks. As for the plot, it feels like an afterthought, something cobbled together once all the pratfalls and sight gags were lined up. (Again, several of the bad guys are Russians, but their villainy lacks the sort of relevance it had 40 years ago.) An attack on CONTROL exposes all the secret agents identities, leaving Max and 99 as the only ones left to go after the rival spy agency KAOS and undermine their nuclear plot. Or something. This requires Max to harpoon himself repeatedly in the face with one of his gadgets, then fall out of a plane without and actually have some threat to them. Theres some sense of jeopardy. The comedy laid on top of that might resonate more. Hathaway: Theres a great story about Terence. He was switching hotels when we were shooting in Montreal. He just went downstairs and he couldnt nd a taxi. He was standing around looking for a taxi and some guy just drove up and

veneer of civility and cheerfulness, which makes it all the more excruciating because you know that there are so many unresolved feelings that are screaming to come out. Finally, When Did You Last See Your Father? asks inherently important rhetorical questions of all of us: what is our relationship with our own parents (regardless of gender), whens the last time we really connected, and how do you make peace after your parent has died? A lm denitely worth seeing and questions denitely worth asking!

It all plays out in big, loud, obvious fashion as if the lmmakers gured the audience wouldnt be interested in the sort of sly absurdity that gave the show its original charm. Among the wasted supporting cast are Alan Arkin as the exasperated Chief, Terence Stamp as the evil head of the rival spy agency KAOS and Bill Murray in one painfully unfunny scene. Dwayne Johnson swaggers and flashes those blindingly pearly whites of his as the

In case all that failed to wow the crowds, and it probably will, Get Smart wedges in a totally needless romance between Max and Agent 99. Again, part of the allure of the TV show was the banter, the tension between the two, the way they teased and cajoled each other but always managed to get the job done, somehow. The 20-year age difference between Carell and Hathaway is a bit of a distraction, but fundamentally, they just dont have enough chemistry to suggest that falling for each other would be inevitable. Besides, Agents 86 and 99? It just doesnt add up. went, Zod? And he goes, Yes. And the guy goes, What are you doing in Montreal? Im making a movie. Can you give me a ride?

there is a huge group that is really interested in what happened. The audio tour gives them the opportunity to live through the experience, he said. The audio tour also offers trivia a visitor might not otherwise learn. For example, that the bump on the top of the Alamo church that distinguishes its famous facade was added in later renovations. The Alamo gets 2.5 million visitors a year and is the most visited tourist site in Texas, Stewart said. But there is no tour of the grounds, just a talk given in the courtyard every half-hour. Stewart said the audio tour lets tourists learn about the Alamo as they stroll through it, which is a richer experience than sitting through a lecture. If youre on the audio tour, youre hearing the same story and standing in the place where it happened, he said. You have the experience of standing where Davy Crockett died or where the north wall was. It becomes more personal to you rather than trying to visualize it. Stewart said he hopes the audio tour will entice previous visitors to return. He said a shorter version of the tour for kids and schools is also in the works.

The tour was produced by Discovery Audio in cooperation with the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, which has maintained the Alamo since 1905. Discovery Audio also produced the popular audio tours at Pearl Harbor, Alcatraz and other famed locales. So far, visitors say they like the tale thats being told to them. When I travel I always take the audio tours, said Marty Stone, 37, of Atlanta. They put some structure to it, otherwise youre just wandering around. Marletta Dalton, 51, said the audio tour made the history of the Alamo come to life. Theres more reality to it in hearing it than reading it, she said. You can imagine it.

SAN ANTONIO The faint sound of cannon fire, firsthand accounts, the famous cry, Remember the Alamo! Millions of people come each year to the site of one of the most famous battles in history, where they stand in the mission-turned-fort that, for a while anyway, held off the Mexican army. They read about the ght, see artifacts from the time and are urged to never forget what happened. Now visitors can also listen to the history of what has become a source of Texas undying pride. The Alamo unveiled a 55-minute audio tour in May that gives each listener music, sound effects and perspective from historians, as well as dramatic readings of eyewitness accounts of the 13 days in 1836 that ended with the fall of the Texasdefended Alamo. The self-guided $5 headset tour takes visitors throughout the grounds of the one-time fort, including the shrine dedicated to those who died once a church and the long barrack, now a museum. Alamo Director David Stewart said some visitors come to the Alamo simply to say theyve been there, others are historians who know the story already, and then

Probe halts rebuilding of Fallujah


Sabatoge of Iraqi oil pipeline drops sharply
By Sameer N. Yacoub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Chelsea J. Carter
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD A sharp drop in attacks on pipelines has enabled Iraq to increase oil exports from northern oil elds and prot from the rise in world energy prices, the countrys oil minister said Friday. Oil Minister Hussain alShahristani said pipeline attacks fell from an average of 30 a month in 2007 to only four last month. Most of the attacks had been in the north, where Sunni insurgents were active. Al-Shahristani told Al-Sharqiya television that the reduction in attacks has enabled Iraq to export more oil from the northern oil elds around Kirkuk to the Turkish Mediterranean port of Ceyhan. The northern pipeline had been frequently shut down for extended periods during the past four years because of sabotage. Iraqs oil exports, most of which come from southern oil fields around Basra, have risen above 2 million barrels a day for the rst time since the U.S.-led invasion of

2003, the Oil Ministry said this month. Ofcials expect the gure to rise further this month because of increased activity at the northern elds. The boost in exports comes at a time of record-high oil prices worldwide, providing Iraq with a nancial windfall as it struggles to rebuild the country after decades of war, U.N. economic sanctions and misrule. Al-Shahristani has said the country expects to reap revenues of $70 billion by years end if world prices remain high. Al-Shahristani, a Shiite, attributed the drop in attacks to better security provided by awakening councils Sunnis who have abandoned the insurgency and now provide protection in their home areas. He said the Oil Ministry was recruiting more guards from among Sunni tribes to protect the pipelines, especially the export line to Ceyhan. A year ago, terrorism was active. But now we are seeing great cooperation from the tribes living in the areas where the pipeline passes, he said.

FALLUJAH, Iraq U.S.-funded reconstruction in a one-time Sunni insurgent stronghold has been suspended because of a corruption probe, including allegations that the mayor and police chief were involved in a multimillion-dollar oil smuggling ring, the Associated Press has learned. The problems in Hit, a dusty, ramshackle western town along the Euphrates River, provide a glimpse of the challenges in rebuilding a country where years of war and misrule have destroyed the social fabric. Reconstruction is a key part of the U.S. military strategy against both Sunni and Shiite extremists, but many projects have long been dogged by mismanagement and allegations of corruption. The U.S. government suspended its efforts in Hit this month after the police chief, Col. Salah Rasheed alGaoud, was red for his alleged role in the scheme, U.S. and Iraqi ofcials familiar with the investigation told the AP. Ofcials also conrmed that the mayor, Hikmat Jubair al-Gaoud, was under investigation. Marine Lt. Col. Chris Hughes, a spokesman for U.S. forces in Anbar province, said the mayors current whereabouts were unknown and that it was

unclear whether he ed the country. But a man identifying himself as the mayor told the AP when contacted on al-Gaouds mobile phone that he was still in Hit and still in my job as the mayor. There is a committee that it is investigating the case of stealing oil and its work has not nished yet, he said Thursday. Among the reconstruction projects that have been suspended are repairs to the towns dilapidated infrastructure, including street repairs, sewerage upgrade and school construction. U.S. military ofcials said reconstruction projects in Hit would remain on hold during the investigation, which Iraqis said was being conducted by the Ministry of Interior. Since the mayor and the chief of police are under investigation for corruption, we have stopped all reconstruction efforts in Hit until the investigation is resolved, said Mike Isho, the Arabic public affairs ofcer for Multi-National ForcesWest. Since there is nobody to lead the city, it doesnt make a whole lot of sense to continue these projects, Isho said. Caught in the middle are the 120,000 residents of Hit, located in Anbar province 85 miles west of Baghdad. Although the U.S. has been trying

to pursue reconstruction projects in Iraq since the early months of the war, the effort has taken on greater urgency since Gen. David Petraeus assumed command of the U.S. mission in late 2006. Once U.S. and Iraqi troops subdue militants in a town or district, the next step is to begin programs to improve the quality of life to undermine support for the militants among the civilian population. Last month, however, Democratic Sens. Bryon Dorgan of North Dakota and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island asked the Treasury Department to investigate whether Iraqi ofcials have embezzled or misspent billions of U.S. tax dollars intended for the countrys reconstruction. Both senators called the scope of corruption within the Iraqi government staggering. Such allegations have not been limited to the Iraqis. The Pentagons inspector general reported last month that an internal audit of about $8 billion paid to U.S. and Iraqi contractors found that nearly every transaction failed to comply with U.S. laws or regulations aimed at preventing fraud. Those ndings provide fresh fodder for anti-war Democrats, who say the Bush administration has turned a blind eye to the problem of corruption and fraud by relying too heavily on contractors to manage the war.

Bay. The real plus is the variety especially of seasonal items. There are different brands, different sizes to choose from, different fruits, different vegetables, and because we have more companies competing against each other, you have a pure competition market, and you can negotiate a better price, he said. Dave Alho, a buyer for Lee Ray Tarantino, another one of the tenants here, explained that Golden Gate Produce Terminal is convenient for both buyers and shippers. For all the different buyers, its easier to come to this market, its more convenient for the truckers, to make all their drops in one location instead of going here, then San Jose, then San Mateo, etc. Buyers for the different stores come here and shop by the truck, go around the different locations and [they can] be price competitive, he said. Carcione meanwhile emphasized the terminals personal touch that affords the consumer the opportunity to sample the product before purchasing and explained why buyers can get more bang for their buck here as well. They can walk the different markets, they can see the produce, they can feel it and taste it before they buy it, and thats the advantage of the wholesale market. Customers can buy from the wholesale market, mark up the price nicecer twice and tried to kick him. The results of Haderles blood alcohol content test have yet to be released. Haderle, according to the District Attorneys Ofce, told the ofcer she needed to get back to her children but couldnt say their location. The ofcer contacted San Carlos police to check her residence at ly in their own markets, and still come in under the chain stores. Chain stores now, they are their own domain, so huge, and most of them are in the stock market, so they have to make huge prots, and it leaves room for the little guy to sell his produce cheaper and still make money, he said. Both Carcione and Repetto stressed that their biggest point of pride is the quality of the produce that gets delivered into their market and the lengths they go to ensure it way. Inspectors for the Department of Agriculture make routine checks on all their stores and, before anything is made available to our customers, it has to pass muster with them, Repetto said. The most common misconception people have about the produce terminal, Carcione stated is that the produce is just for markets or restaurants and not meant for regular everyday people. Odds are excellent that your favorite restaurant or small market gets some if not all of its produce from the Golden Gate Produce Terminal. You can browse and shop and haggle to your hearts content among its 31 separate purveyors, knowing full well that all of them will have cheaper prices and fresher food than your local chain grocery store. Best of all, you can come in a lot later in the day than 4:37 a.m. which her 3-year-old son was reportedly found naked inside the home with the front door wide open. Her 2-year-old son was also playing outside in the rain without shoes. Haderle has no previous criminal convictions in San Mateo County. She has been free from custody on her own recognizance but contact with her children was ordered supervised.

The city did not stop construction and was told by former public works director Paul Nagengast that the city owned the entire unimproved parcels outright, according to the lawsuit. The new park connects with the Coastal Trail, bringing additional noise, trafc and pedestrians to the area. The condo owners suffered loss of privacy and increased litter around their homes, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit is the second major land dispute highlighted in Half Moon Bay during the past year. In November, a federal judge returned a $37 million judgment. The judgment, combined with approximately $4 million in legal fees, threatens to bankrupt the city. The judge ruled that developer Charles Chop Keenan was denied the right to build on property he owned because the city added drainage to the property that essentially created wetlands there. The property was deemed wetlands even after the city already approved a development there in the early 1990s. The city is currently seeking the passage of a state bill allowing it to build on the property despite the wetland designation.

many of our customers are young people, young business owners, they want to buy our produce and get home early so they can open up their own markets and restaurants. The buyers have a routine, and even though it would be possible to buy a day ahead of time, because everyone has refrigeration now, people still stay with their traditions, Carcione said. We get buyers here at 2 in the morning, adds his manager, Primo Repetto, a real estate broker by trade who sold Carcione this property in 1957. He noted that peak hours for his business are from 3 to 7 in the morning. In 1969 [when he started] most of the produce that came into this market came in hot, and that made it a completely different ballgame, a different business. Now refrigeration techniques have changed and farmers are able to cool their produce before they ship it out. The two processes that they do this is either by vacuum cooling (for strawberries or lettuce) or by hydra-cooling, which is immersing in ice cold water, for tree fruit such as peaches.

Thirty-ve years ago most of the produce came in locally and had to be consumed locally. Now farmers can sell strawberries from Watsonville to Paris. We can send produce all over the world as well as receive it from all over the world, Carcione explained. The Golden Gate Produce Terminal is 17.4 acres long and its warehouses have 200,000 square feet of space, all lled, oor to ceiling daily with fresh fruit and vegetables, far as the eye can see. If a small child could conceptualize the idea of hell, they would probably imagine it looking very much like this. The market is home to 31 independent wholesale distributors of various sizes, all competing against one another for the consumer dollar. Here buyers for small markets or restaurants can compare the quality and haggle over the prices of items such as Chiquita bananas, Kern Ridge bell peppers, Chubby asparagus, Premier Brand mushrooms, Andy Boy red leaf lettuce as well as literally thousands of others. George Panagiotopoulos is the owner Pacic Produce and United Produce and he writes a weekly produce column for the San Francisco City Star. For location, this is a premiere area just because its close to the freeway and its close to the South According to prosecutors, Haderle rear-ended a motorist in Redwood City at approximately 2:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 15. When police arrived, Haderle reportedly ed on foot and was found to be intoxicated after being apprehended. Police reported Haderle nearly fell twice during a eld sobriety test. She also allegedly struck the responding of-

SUIT
Continued from page 1
Perez, Stephen Sysum and Rich Harrington. The local suit, led after Redwood City refused Burns claim, was led earlier this year and scheduled for a case management conference in July. Now in federal court, the judicial process begins anew. The federal suit led June 17 claims each defendant is responsible for depriving Burns of his constitutional rights. The ofcers acted under the color of law and the ordinance and

regulations of both Redwood City and the Redwood City Police Department. The ofcers actions were shocking, malicious, deliberately indifferent ... done with actual malice ... and objectively unreasonable, the federal suit states. The altercations cost Burns, 43, money from speaking engagements and left him with lingering pain, Galine said. As rst reported in the Daily Journal, Burns was at the new Century Theatre in downtown Redwood City on April 1 when he felt his blood sugar dropping. Burns was diagnosed with type I diabetes for 35 years, is a board member of the American Diabetes Association and frequently speaks as a health and tness expert at diabetes and medical conferences. He normally wore a 24-hour insulin pump but was transitioning to a new medication. Burns said his vision grew so blurry he couldnt read and headed to the snack bar for food. A security guard later told police Burns was wobbly and unstable on his feet and wouldnt reply to his questions. Thinking Burns was intoxicated, the guard walked him outside and told him to leave. When Burns didnt, the guard called police to report his loitering. Burns last memories of the evening were being on the sidewalk in front of the theater, wrestling with four ofcers and hearing police dogs. He regained consciousness at the San Mateo Medical Center with mace on his shirt and glucose paste on his face. Redwood City police reported a slightly different version with Burns lunging at one ofcer, pushing him to the ground with both hands and taking a ghting stance. One ofcer cut a nger and a sergeant hurt his right shoulder. In denying Burns claim, the Redwood City Council questioned if they should actually be seeking restitution from Burns because of injuries inicted on the Redwood City ofcers involved. On May 30, 2007, prosecutors formally dismissed the charges after an endocrinologist evaluated Burns medical records and could not rule out diabetic shock.

BORN TODAy: Its important not to let one single defeat or

rejection stop you in the year ahead. Those strengthened by adversity end up succeeding in most everything they do, and time will reward you as well.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- People dont change, so be extremely careful if you have to do business again with someone who didnt treat you fairly in the past. If this person got away with it before, he or she is likely to try again. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Because of a strong desire to have things go your way, you could put your faith in someone who cant deliver and then blame him or her because this person isnt providing what you want. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you do a favor for someone, dont broadcast the good deed to everyone within earshot. You will make this individual wish he or she had never asked you in the first place. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Someone who is famous for manipulating others might target you as his or her next victim, especially if you allow this person to see how inadequate or discouraged you feel. Keep up a good front. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Meaningful objectives can be accomplished, provided you do not allow self-doubts to convince you otherwise. Remember this wise saying: I have met the enemy, and it is me.

at this time, you may get involved in a petty deception orchestrated by companions. You wont like yourself or what you did to someone else. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You know better than most about how to bargain from your strengths -- not your weaknesses -- so dont change your modus operandi. If you are perceived as strong, it will definitely sweeten the deal. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you judge someone in advance, you could behave poorly to an individual you merely think is going to treat you in a shoddy manner. You could lose a friend in the process. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Only a good performance, not a phony appearance, will impress others, so try your best to behave in a credible manner. Putting on pretenses -- or being an imposter -- will turn people off. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Should a competitor try to put you down in front of mutual associates, remain calm and unaffected so that the attention will stay focused on the rudeness of your enemy. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you want to make this a day of achievement, you must use methodical procedures. When you start firing from the hip, youll act erratically and create all kinds of havoc for yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Say what needs to be said if circumstances call for it, but leave emotion out of it. Unless you represent yourself truthfully, itll cloud your ability to see clearly.

McCain did not mention Obama by name as he spoke before the Economic Club of Canada, a business organization whose membership cheered his remarks. His trip to Canada was unusual if not unprecedented for a presidential candidate, one that his campaign paid for yet aides insisted was not political. Democrats criticized plans for a

They also countered that the money was to pay the cost of the Economic Club luncheon then canceled the event without explanation. The free trade agreement is

intensely controversial in the United States supported by most businesses, opposed by many unions and has already emerged as a ashpoint in the presidential race. McCain supports it, while Obama and former rival Hillary Rodham Clinton vied for support among blue-collar workers in the Democratic primaries by stressing their desire to force changes.
