Lehman lawsuit costs hefty

County spends more than $600K defending itself against school districts
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo County has spent more than $615,000 defending itself and former treasurer-tax collector Lee Bufngton against accusations by a dozen school districts that irresponsible investment practices cost them $20 million.
Between Oct. 5, 2010 and June 30, the county has paid $615,492.70 for specialized litigation to the San Francisco-based law rm Keker and Van Nest, according to information provided by county spokesman Marshall Wilson. It is expensive. Im not going to deny that. Its a lot of money, but another entity began this and we
cant just walk away from it, said Carole Groom, president of the Board of Supervisors. In January, a collection of 12 Carole Groom county school
districts and the superintendent of county schools sued the county and Buffington for $20 million plus interest. The suit argues the county and Bufngton should have pulled investment pool funds prior to the Sept. 15, 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers. The pool lost approximately $155 million from its collection of cities, agencies and districts.
The County Counsels Ofce typically handles legal matters for the county and its departments, including heads, and several school districts. The county hired the outside rm to avoid a conict of interest because of its involvement with the school districts and also because the

Small miracles at the Vendome

City,Shelter Network celebrate homeless programs second year
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Back in January, when the county sent out dozens of employees and volunteers to the streets to count the homeless, David Van Winkle was found in the early-morning hours huddled in a sleeping bag in front of St. Vincent de Paul on B Street in downtown San Mateo. He was counted as being chronically homeless by the county that morning.
Van Winkle spent years on the streets and was identied by downtown San Mateo police Ofcer Robert Anderson as being someone in critical need of help. After months of outreach by Anderson, a key gure in the citys Homeless Outreach Team, Van Winkle has nally found a home at the Vendome Hotel, under a program established in 2009 to address the need for permanent supportive housing for chronically homeless people in downtown San Mateo. The city partnered with the Shelter Network,
a nonprot agency, to convert the old hotel into a safe place for the formerly homeless. Yesterday, Van Winkle heaped praise on Anderson for helping him nd a home at the Vendome Hotel in downtown San Mateo, as Shelter Network and the city celebrated the programs second birthday. I thought Id always be homeless, said Van Winkle, who spent many months sleeping in Central Park. Van Winkle moved into the Vendome two weeks ago and is now receiving
WASHINGTON A new bipartisan plan to reduce government borrowing would target some of the most cherished tax breaks enjoyed by millions of families those promoting health insurance, home ownership, charitable giving and retirement savings in exchange for lowering overall tax rates for everyone. Many taxpayers would face higher taxes a total of at least $1.2 trillion over the next decade, and perhaps more. The details and impact of the plan, released this week by the bipartisan Gang of Six senators, emerged as President Barack Obama called congressional leaders to the White House on Wednesday to determine, Barack Obama in separate meetings, their bottom line for extending the nations debt limit while also cutting spending at the greatest amount possible. The role of additional tax revenue remained a sticking point. With the default deadline of Aug. 2 approaching, the White House signaled for the rst time that Obama would be willing to sign off on a short-term extension of the debt limit if a grander deal were in the works and needed only a few days worth of extra time to wind its way through the legislative process. For its part, the Gang of Six plan punts on many of the most difcult issues, leaving it to congressional committees to ll in the details

The Menlo Park Fire Protection District board is in the middle of amending its philosophy related to compensation that calls for having safeguards in place to prevent abuses such as pension spiking and maximizing overtime through manipulation. The philosophy is aimed at setting compensation packages for the districts reghters that are fair compared to the private sector and totally transparent to the public. Compensation packages should be transparent to the public, simple and easy to understand, board Vice President Stephen Nachtsheim said. The policy is being revised, Nachtsheim said, so taxpayers know exactly how their money is being spent. The board approved the policy during a rst reading at its Tuesday night meeting and will have a second reading on the item before the board makes its nal vote, he said. The philosophy should help set the tone for future negotiations between the district and its re personnel, said Fire Chief Harold Schapelhouman. The district employs about 90 and the average compensation for reghters in the department is about $135,000. The district serves Menlo Park, East Palo Alto, Atherton and some unincorporated areas of southern San Mateo County. The board has been digging deeper since the economic downturn, Schapelhouman said. Salary and benets packages have come under
re for public employees as the states pension obligations continue to soar. Some cities such as Foster City have adopted a second tier of benets for new hires in the public safety sector to achieve long-term savings and others are considering consolidating departments with other cities to reduce administrative costs. The cities of Millbrae and San Bruno are currently considering merging its departments with Central County Fire, which serves Burlingame and Hillsborough. The cities of San Carlos and Belmont are currently dissolving their joint re department, however, which will cause costs to fund the new departments to actually climb. Belmont will establish its own stand-alone department this October and Mayor Coralin Feierbach is looking closely at how other agencies deal with compensation. Fireghters should not automatically get a raise based on length of employment but a meritbased philosophy may put too much control into the hands of management, Feierbach said. They shouldnt get an automatic raise just for showing up, she said. The compensation policy the Menlo Park Fire District is amending calls for tying pay increases to merit and performance. The district will not permit pay increases based merely on the length of employment and the public should be able to see all pay elements, including the cost of all health, pension and welfare benets for each employee, according to the employee compensation philosophy.

By Rachel Purdy
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Police are investigating the third homicide in the past week in East Palo Alto after the fatal shooting of a 26-year-old man Tuesday night. Responding ofcers found Hugo Chavez from East Palo Alto lying in the driveway of 13 Camellia Court around 10:15 p.m., police said. He had multiple gunshot wounds to his torso. Chavez was taken to a hospital for treatment but died about four hours later, according to police. Investigators determined a man approached Chavez in front of the house before the attack. It
appears the two may have had a brief conversation before the suspect shot Chavez several times and ran away, police said. East Palo Alto police have not released any suspect information and have not made any arrests in the homicide. Investigators have not determined the motive or identied that this homicide was the result of gang-violence. Less than 24 hours earlier, police arrived at the 2500 block of Illinois Avenue on Monday at about 8:45 p.m. to nd 23-year-old Jabari Banford, who had been shot multiple times, lying on the sidewalk. Paramedics treated Banford, but he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead
at the scene, police said. On July 13, 19-year-old Catherine Fisher was shot while sitting in a car with two others in the 2500 block of Annapolis Street at about 2:10 a.m., police said. The Menlo Park woman was taken to Stanford Hospital, where she died later that day. Last month, a 3-month-old baby was killed as his family was leaving a baby shower on Wisteria Drive on June 5. Investigators believe Izack Jesus was mistakenly shot in retaliation for an assault by Sureno gang members in Redwood City on May 31.

She was charged July 8 in federal court and plead guilty Tuesday.
Chavezs death marks East Palo Altos fth homicide of the year, which is already more than the citys four murders in 2010. In 1992, East Palo Alto was dubbed the murder capital of the country with 42 homicides for its then 24,300 resIdents, or a rate of about 173 homicides per 100,000 residents. The following year, the citys homicide rate fell by 85 percent. Witnesses are asked to contact the East Palo Alto Police Department by calling or sending a text message to the anonymous tip line at (650) 409-6792. Anonymous tips can also be sent by email to epa@tipnow.org. equipment.

The adult lounge was created by converting several units of ofces into a large space for older adults with a living room feel. It contains lounge chairs and sofas, tables for reading or games, brand new bookshelves stocked with books, new lighting, artwork on the walls and plants. The lounge is a partnership between the city, nonprofit Rebuilding Together, Roche Molecular Systems, Supple Homes, Inc., Peninsula Family Service which operates the Fair Oaks Adult Activity Center and a private donor.

A San Mateo man is facing life in prison for allegedly molesting his 14-year-old daughter and two preteen nieces for the last four years. Prosecutors say the 43-year-old man, who is not being named as not to identify his victims, abused his child and nieces, ages 11 and 8, between 2007 and May 2011. The alleged crimes came to light when the girls told the nieces mother and her boyfriend contacted San Mateo police.

Judge upholds citys cigarette pack surcharge

SAN FRANCISCO A San Francisco judge has upheld the citys 20-cent-per-pack surcharge on cigarettes. Superior Court Judge Ronald Quidachay ruled on Monday that the additional charge was a fee and not a tax and therefore did not need to be approved by voters. Cigarette maker Philip Morris USA and some local retailers had disputed that. The 20-cent charge was the brainchild of former Mayor Gavin Newsom, who said it was intended to cover what it cost the city to clean up discarded cigarette butts. Philip Morris had argued that the surcharge was not reasonably related to the citys actual

The controller also warned that the department the states largest with 66,000 employees is putting itself at risk of fraud and abuse because it hasnt done a good job of reconciling bank accounts. As of June 30, 2010, the departments major accounts showed $27 million in unresolved funds in its bank balance but more than $31 million in unresolved funds on its book balance. This is the latest in a series of agency audits conducted by my staff that point to the waste and abuse of state funds due to the lack of attention to collecting overpayments, state Controller John Chiang said in a statement. Past audits by the state controllers ofce have found the state has not done a good job of getting the money back or making sure it was spent properly. Gov. Jerry Brown took a cue from
Audit: Corrections department overpaid workers

By Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO Californias corrections department overpaid some employees for salaries and travel advances and was slow to collect those funds, according to an audit the state controllers ofce released Wednesday. The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation gave one former employee a lump sum check for $14,950 to meet a deadline for leaving the states employment, but the department did not deduct that from the employees nal paycheck, meaning that person received both a salary advance and a nal paycheck. Another employee received a salary advance of more than $8,000 in January 2008, plus a regular paycheck, the audit found. Three years later, the advance had not been collected.
Past audits by the state controllers ofce have found the state has not done a good job of getting the money back or making sure it was spent properly.
Chiang in April and ordered all state agencies to recover millions of dollars in salary and travel advances that were given to state workers but never repaid. The Democratic governor issued an executive order directing agencies to investigate a backlog of uncollected debt. California gives salary and travel advances to state employees under special circumstances, such as when an employee is leaving state service and needs a nal check, when an employee makes a hardship request, or when an employee travels. The latest audit focused on the corrections departments use of its revolving fund. The controllers ofce reviewed the departments revolving fund from July 1, 2009, through July 31, 2010, and found the state has been slow to collect millions of dollars in overpayments to employees for travel and salary advances. Of more than $6 million in advances, $4 million took longer than 60 days to collect. And $465,000 had been outstanding for more than three years. Martin Hoshino, undersecretary for the corrections departments administration and offender services, said the agency made collections a priority and has so far collected $2.2 million of the
more than $6 million in outstanding advances. We will continue in our efforts, Hoshino said in statement. As of Nov. 30, the audit found the department had not received reimbursement for more than $3.5 million issued before June 30, 2010. The audit also found that the agency used its revolving fund to spend more than the department was appropriated under the state budget. Paul Verke, a corrections spokesman, said the department agreed with the audits ndings and has implemented better controls using newer technology. We thank controller Chiang for his work on this issue, and CDCR has made signicant advances in addressing the problem, collecting $2.2 million in the last six months, Browns spokesman Gil Duran said Wednesday.
Trio swept over waterfall presumed dead More problems

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK Young tourists above one of Yosemite National Parks beautiful and perilous waterfalls were trying to pose for a picture. Instead they burned a horrifying image into the memories of everyone who saw. A man and a woman crossed a metal barricade above the 317-foot Vernal Fall on Tuesday, making their way over slick granite to a rock in the middle of the swift Merced River. The woman slipped. The man reached for her and fell in. Another man in their group of about 10 tried to help but fell into the water as well. Other hikers, including several children in their group, could only watch as the rushing water swept all three students over the edge. The couple who were on the rock hugged each other tightly as they disappeared. Everyone was screaming, witness Jake Bibee said. People were pray-
ing. What I will take away with me forever is the look on that grown mans face as he was oating down that river knowing he was going to die and nobody could help them. A single sign in English warns visitors not to cross the barricade or swim in the waters above the falls. Bibee said other hikers had shouted that it wasnt safe to go into the rushing river. The three students are presumed dead; rescuers continued searching for their bodies Wednesday. The Yosemite Search and Rescue unit identied them as Hormiz David, 22, of Modesto; Ninos Yacoub, 27, of Turlock; and Ramina Badal, 21, of Manteca. The victims were part of a closeknit community of Christians from the Middle East who have been settling in Californias Central Valley during the past century. They were members of the Mar Gewargis Parish in Ceres, where a prayer service was planned Wednesday evening. The church is
part of the Assyrian Church of the East. Its very shocking to our community, said the Rev. Auchana Kanoun, who leads the parish. Ninos Piro said outside the Mar Zaia Cathedral in Modesto that he was friends with all three victims, whom he knew from church. David was studying music production at Modesto Junior College, Yacoub was studying chemistry at California State University, Stanislaus, and Badal attended the University of San Francisco and had hoped to become a doctor, Piro said. The top of Vernal Fall is always treacherous, and is especially so this year because of the record snowmelt now under way. A metal barricade separates hikers from the river where it pools before crashing over the precipice. On Wednesday afternoon, hundreds of tourists climbed the 1.5-mile Mist Trail to the top of Vernal Fall after the path was reopened.
await Murdoch in the United States

LOS ANGELES Emerging relatively unscathed from a British parliamentary hearing on the phone hacking scandal, Rupert Murdoch returned to the United States on Wednesday, where his company faces a host of nancial and legal challenges. As the scandal runs its course in the U.K., Murdochs News Corp. must confront at least two U.S.-based shareholder lawsuits, a possible Standard & Poors credit downgrade, and the beginnings of a federal investigation. The conglomerate Murdoch controls through a family trust owns a movie studio, a broadcast network, pay TV channels and newspapers around the globe. It made $33 billion in revenue
last year and generates about $2 billion in cash every year. The company has the nancial capacity to withstand nes or most other corporate calamities. Even so, News Corp. could face further damage to its standing. Standard & Poors put the company on notice that it may cut its investment-grade BBB+ credit rating in the next 90 days. The move could affect nearly $15.5 billion in debt and raise the companys costs when it obtains loans in the future. With severe damage already done to his reputation and newspaper in Britain, Murdoch must guard against a similar backlash in the U.S. now that the FBI is investigating whether News Corp. employees bribed police ofcers to obtain information about victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

He only ruled three were valid, said Friends of Bay Meadows attorney Stuart Flashman. The pending petition was the only thing standing in the way of the Bay Meadows Land Company development plans. The company wants to replace the 83.5-acre race track on Delaware Street near Hillsdale Boulevard with 1,250 residential units, 1.25 million square feet of ofce space and 150,000 square feet of retail space. The San Mateo City Council unanimously approved the plan in November 2006 after ve years of public hearings. Friends of Bay Meadows quickly began collecting signatures to send the councils decision to the ballot and ultimately put the future of the race track in the hands of voters. House Bill 1425 proposes changes to the Small Business Innovation Research Program that would pull about $1 billion in funding in research and development grants for small businesses. Calabazas received nearly $900,000 in grants last year from the U.S. Department of Energy and developed new technology with it called Controlled Porosity Reservoir Cathodes, used in the medical and welding industries, among others. Calabazas is concerned the legislation will favor venture capital-backed companies and change the small business program from being merit-based to politically charged. The bill currently awaits a vote on the House oor. *** San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim a month ahead of schedule after three months of round-the-clock work, Caltrans ofcials announced the week of July 22, 2006. The dangerous stretch of road on Highway 1 between Montara and Pacica was closed April 2, 2006 after months of heavy rains caused the road to slip toward the ocean. This was the second closure of Devils Slide in just over a decade. The roads closure forced many businesses to shut their doors in 1995. In 2006, businesses were still seeing about 40 percent to 50 percent drop in revenue.

In May 2006, Caltrans District 4 Director Bijan Sartipi said the slide occurred in the same spot as a 1995 failure that closed the road for several months.

Stop making cents

ile this under common sense. Or, rather, common cents. San Mateo Countys very own U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, has introduced legislation to stop the US Mint from churning out any more commemorative coins because, to put it bluntly, nobody wants the darn things. Even worse, the government is blowing money making the money. Sounds ironic, doesnt it? Speier compared minting coins we dont use to printing money we dont have. The program targeted by the Wasteful Presidential Coin Act 2011, as its so aptly named, is even worse. At least money we dont have is still money. Most commemorative coins are little more than unwanted gifts bestowed on grandchildren whod much rather have the latest iPod or at least something they can take out of the wrapper. The program started in good faith. In 2005, Congress asked itself, Self, what is it that everybody in America is just clamoring to have adorning their walls and filling their collector books? Self, if I cant ensure everybody in America can earn more money, what can I do to at least throw a few bucks their way? Wait, I know! Every few months, well issue a $1 coin commemorative presidents beginning with the original guy George Washington! Theyll flip! The plan got as far as Ulysses S. Grant who for those who didnt ace ninth-grade history was the 18th president. Eighteen presidents, requiring some 2.4 billion coins to be minted at a cost of $300 million since the programs inception in 2007. Of this money pile, approximately 1.25 billion of the coins are collecting dust. Of course, not all the coins were meant to be showcased on shelves next to the commemorative spoon and decorative thimble collection. Some were actually sent into circulation, fated for vending machines and parking meters, change purses and coin-based decisions. Of this group, 60 percent make a desolate return to the federal vault where they are stored indefinitely. Last year, Congress heard that this heap could double by the time the program ends in 2016, according to Speiers office. The coins widespread rejection shouldnt be any surprise. The dollar coin is never a crowd pleaser, whether it bears Washington, Susan B. Anthony or Sacajewea on a shiny, gold surface. The coins too closely resemble quarters and are cumbersome compared to well-folded bills. Simply put, there is no interest. Speiers answer is on the money end the program completely. More coins can be minted if reserve levels drop below 10 percent under the bill she introduced Tuesday night. Sounds reasonable, more reasonable at least than putting nostalgia and sentiment ahead of financial prudence. Besides, to digress a moment, if the government really wanted to make money more eye-catching it would opt for the bright colors and holograms found in foreign currency. Perhaps some day, when the government has fixed all of its real problems and has the time and resources to tackle the dilemma of the dollar coin, the program can begin anew. Just to spice things up a little, though, how about issuing the coins backward from the current president? After all, Obama did run for office on a platform of change.

he haggling in Congress over whether to pay the credit card bill for money already spent reveals how at least one party has lost sense of any priorities. Were in the midst of a national jobs emergency, yet the president and Congress have lost months in the debt-ceiling sideshow. As former Intel CEO Andy Grove has been saying for some time, we need a job-centric economic theory and job-centric political leadership. Our national leaders need to get beyond ideological rigidity to address the plight of the unemployed with practical realism. They might begin by walking over to the
Other voices
National Mall and reading a 1934 quote at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial: No country, however rich, can afford the waste of its human resources. Demoralization caused by vast unemployment is our greatest extravagance. Morally, it is the greatest menace to our social order. One of Roosevelts remedies was laborcreating, quick-acting, useful projects. Our national leaders should embrace that ethic again. The notion today that we can solve unemployment by having everyone reinvent themselves to become knowledge workers or Facebook-style startup entrepre-
neurs is wishful thinking. We have crumbling infrastructure everywhere. We have construction workers out of work. A back-of-the-napkin cost to create one million jobs at $30,000 a year each would be $30 billion. We have to start looking for it. Theres also a need for bipartisan support on a national infrastructure bank to leverage local, state and private investment in infrastructure with a capital base provided initially by the federal government. Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass., and Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, introduced their BUILD Act in March. Certainly, public works are not the only solution. But in this abnormal jobs emergency, government will have to do things it doesnt normally do.

The right kind of representation
Editor, Kevin Mullins arguments against the independent non-partisan redistricting are self serving. He just wants to run for the Assembly. Lets hope he doesnt because when his father was in the Assembly and represented part of Daly City, Gene Mullin and his office would ignore calls from concerned Daly City residents. That is not the kind of representation we want. If South San Francisco gets two Assembly members they should work with both and be happy they have double the representation. Assuming they dont act as Gene Mullin did. combat, raises awareness of their courage during the Korean war. It is shocking to me that De Filippis regards honoring these men and their sacrice as a gaffe. It is even more shocking that a newspaper, any American newspaper, would print such bile. But I am not surprised to see that the Daily Journal has done so insomuch as they routinely print whatever lie, fantasy or utter rubbish De Filippis sees t to spew. But such a scandalous slur on our service people who have made the ultimate sacrice goes too far. Accordingly, the July 11 edition of the Daily Journal is the nal edition of the Daily Journal that I will ever read. Nor will I transact with any rm or individual who advertises in the Daily Journal. What De Filippis has said, and what the Daily Journal has printed, may be free speech but it is abhorrent speech, a grossly anti-American sentiment, and it is unforgivable. the shores. That was before all the lling and dumping for over 100 years. We lost most of our oysters, otters, sea lions, pelicans, marsh birds and 90 percent of the wetlands with natural sh hatcheries and marsh habitat in those years. Since the 1960s, we have reversed course. Some species are returning slowly. Much more is needed. While we cannot do anything about existing towns built in the Bay, we can restore salt ponds to the healthy wetlands they once were. In the Florida Everglades, the people awoke to the fact that their lives depend on a healthy Everglades and sweeping restoration is now urgently under way. California depends on a healthy bay with deep vibrant wetlands not salt water drainage between tall levees.

Editor, The same hypocrites and war criminals in Washington, along with their stooges in NATO, recognize the CIA-backed terrorists that are trying to overthrow the government of Libya as the new leaders of that nation.

Wall Street
The stock of Zillow, a real estate website, jumped 79 percent in its rst day of trading to $35.77. Zillows initial public offering of stock priced at $20 late Tuesday. Clorox rose 2.4 percent after billionaire investor Carl Icahn raised his bid for the company to $80 a share. The consumer products company rejected his previous offer. News of record earnings and new deals would usually brighten investors mood, Sorenson said. In the current earnings season, for instance, some 75 percent of companies in the Standard & Poors 500 index have beaten analysts estimates. But larger worries about debt troubles in the U.S. and Europe are holding the market back. Its causing investors and businesses and consumers to be concerned about the future, he said. European Union ofcials plan to meet at an emergency summit Thursday in Brussels. Many expect E.U. members to drum up a new aid package for Greece. Worries about Europes debt crisis have plagued markets for months. The results of stress tests on European banks released last week failed to calm fears that the crisis could soon turn worse. The tests didnt take into account the possibility that most analysts are worried about: a default by Greece or Portugal, two of the countries most at risk.

NEW YORK A rally over hopes for a debt-limit deal turned into a waiting game for investors. One day after the Dow Jones industrial average had its best day this year, the stock market edged lower on Wednesday. Analysts say concerns about lifting the U.S. debt limit outweighed strong earnings from Apple and a slew of new corporate deals. In this environment, stringing together a few days like yesterday is going to be tough, said Brad Sorensen, director of market analysis at Charles Schwab. Apparent progress on raising the U.S. debt limit launched a stock market rally Tuesday. The Dow jumped 202 points, its best day this year. But investors woke up Wednesday to nd Washington still at a stalemate. And with less than two weeks before the government risks defaulting on its debt, they are nding it hard to continue the celebration. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 15.51 points, or 0.1 percent, to close at 12,571.91. The S&P 500 index dropped 0.89 point to 1,325.84. The Nasdaq fell 12.29 points, or 0.4 percent, to 2,814.23.

Site lets users unload coupons

NEW YORK Wish you hadnt bought that daily deal for a hot air balloon ride? Youre not alone. A growing number of shoppers with buyers remorse are tapping an emerging resale market to unload the coupons they no longer want from sites like Groupon and LivingSocial. For the uninitiated, daily deal sites offer limited-time discounts of as much as 90 percent on a variety of products and services. But the elements that make the deals so enticing the steep price cuts, limited supply and countdown clock can also be a potent mix for impulse purchases. The pitfalls are apparent in a key statistic; an estimated 20 percent of the discounts are never redeemed. Thats where sites like DealsGoRound.com come into play. Theres no charge for sellers to list an unwanted coupon, but the sites takes a 10 percent cut if its sold. At
LifeSta.com, another resale site for daily deals, sellers pay 99 cents plus 8 percent of the sale price. Buyers dont pay any fees on either site. People buy deals with good intentions, says Kris Petersen, founder and CEO of DealsGoRound. But then the planning doesnt come together or they run out of time to use the deal. The emergence of the resale market is a natural outgrowth of the explosive popularity of daily deal sites in the past year. Although Groupon and LivingSocial are by far the biggest and best known players in the space, there are now an estimated 400 similar sites, according Daily Deal Media, which tracks the industry. And this year, consumers are expected to spend an estimated $1.9 billion snapping up bargains, about double the amount spent last year. The deals are usually tilted toward a higher-end clientele, with offers including discounts on restaurant vouchers, wine tasting tours and shiatsu massages. But circumstances can sometimes prevent shoppers from redeeming their eBay.com rose. Analysts forecast $2.60 billion.
coupons. After paying $40 for a month of unlimited yoga classes on Groupon, Michael Roman found a more convenient venue for practicing his downward dog. So he decided to list the coupon on DealsGoRound. He listed the deal for the same amount he paid, with plans to lower the price if it didnt sell quickly. But the coupon sold within hours. The immediacy is what surprised me, says Roman, a 47-year-old business analyst from Chicago. If a coupon is popular enough, sellers may even be able to fetch a small prot. Because daily deal sites offer such steep discounts, sellers can list their coupons for more than they paid and still offer a bargain. For buyers, resale sites offer access to deals that are no longer available. In other cases, sellers may have to ask for less than they paid. This usually happens when a coupons expiration date is fast approaching or if the retailer or service is too obscure. ranging from daily deals site Groupon Inc., the professional networking service LinkedIn Corp., along with Zynga Inc. best known for the online game FarmVille.

NEW YORK Investors set aside housing market doldrums and rushed to grab shares of real estate website Zillow on Wednesday, valuing the company at as much as $1.6 billion. Zillow Inc., which has never made a prot, is yet another beneciary of strong investor demand for the latest crop of Internet stocks. Many of the recent market debutantes provide social networking, online games or search. Zillows shares tripled in their trading debut on the Nasdaq stock market. Zillow had set a price of $20 for its stock late Tuesday. The shares rose as high as $60 before settling back to $38.80 in midday trading, valuing the Seattle-based company at about $1 billion. The weak housing market did not hurt Zillows IPO. Figures released Wednesday show that Americans are buying homes at the weakest pace in 14 years. Zillows initial public offering follows lings by high-prole Internet companies

American orders 460 new planes from Boeing, Airbus

FORT WORTH, Texas American Airlines is revamping its eet with a record order for at least 460 new jets, a move it says will save fuel and give passengers a quieter, more comfortable ride. The airline pulled off the deal by convincing rival aircraft makers Airbus and Boeing to provide generous nancing. American said the new planes will make its eet the youngest among major U.S. airlines within ve years. The deal was a bold stroke from a management team that has been roundly criticized on Wall Street for lacking new ideas as it lost $4.8 billion and slid from worlds biggest airline to No. 3 in the U.S. in just over three years.

Kershaw outduels Lincecum,Giants lose

By Antonio Gonzalez
SAN FRANCISCO Tim Lincecum and Clayton Kershaw matched each other pitch for pitch, knowing the smallest mistake could cost their team the game. I flinched rst, Lincecum said. Kershaw was one pitch better than Lincecum Tim Lincecum in a matchup of All-Star aces, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers past the San Francisco Giants 1-0 to
avoid a three-game sweep. Lincecum (8-8) allowed only Dioner Navarros home run leading off the seventh. The splash shot that landed in McCovey Cove was all the pop Los Angeles showed on a day hitting coach Jeff Pentland was red, and all they needed behind Kershaws gem. Claytons ridiculous again, Lincecum said. I think hes reached his potential just from watching him. Kershaw (11-4) allowed three hits in eight innings to help the Dodgers snap a four-game losing streak and six overall to the Giants. He struck out 12 to improve his major-league lead to 167 this season. The hard-throwing lefty lowered
his ERA against San Francisco to 1.41, the lowest of any pitcher against the defending World Series champions. He also beat Lincecum on opening day this season. We were struggling. We needed a win, he said. The wins count the same no matter who theyre against. San Franciscos shaggy-haired righty seemed in control on a day he had to be at his dominating best. Lincecum allowed five hits in seven-plus innings in another solid start with little run support. He struck out seven and walked four, never getting into any serious jams. Giants All-Star third baseman Pablo Sandoval didnt start because of tightness in his right quadriceps
and right elder Nate Scheirholtz was given the day off, and the retooled lineup didnt give Lincecum any room for error. All it took was one pitch to wash away an otherwise solid start. Navarro became the 24th opposing player and rst this season to hit a home run into McCovey Cove, taking a 1-0 fastball off Lincecum over the right-eld wall in the seventh. It was the fourth time Lincecum gave up a splash shot in his career, and the eighth time this season he walked off the mound with his team held scoreless. You got two of the better young talents in the game going at it, and I guess the game went pretty much went how I thought except they got
the run one, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. These are two of the best and we are in the same division so it wont be the last time they match up. Navarro knew the ball was gone the second he hit it, and he found out watching the video replay in the clubhouse that it was a true splash shot something hes always wanted to do. Ive been trying to reach that was since day one, Navarro said. I never could. Not even in batting practice. That was all the support Los Angeles ace needed. The Dodgers committed three errors with some sloppy defense,

Matsuis 500th lifts As

DETROIT Hideki Matsui doesnt think of himself as a member of the 500-homer club. Still, hes glad people will stop asking about it. Matsui hit his 500th professional homer Wednesday and drove in three runs to lead the Oakland Athletics over the Detroit Tigers 75. He has hit 168 major-league
homers after hitting 332 for the Yomiuri Giants. Im happy to get it over with, and it is even better that it helped us win a game, Matsui said through an interpreter. It isnt like Ive been aiming for this, because I dont really combine numbers from Japan and here. To me, they are two separate leagues. Oakland manager Bob Melvin disagreed.
I dont care that it is split, or how many he hit where, he said. It is still the major leagues here and the major leagues in Japan, and it is quite a feat by a fantastic player. Matsui led off the sixth inning with his milestone homer his rst since June 16 to put Oakland up 3-2 and end Duane Belows night. Its great to see him get it, because the guys have been teasing

It ended Wednesday with a stock line from Woods that players use when ring a caddie Its time for a change. The announcement on his website only deepened the mystery around Woods, who has fallen to No. 20 in the world and hasnt played since
May because of injuries to his left leg that rst were described as minor. In the 20 months since Woods was caught having multiple extramarital affairs, he has lost four major sponsors, changed swing coaches, was divorced from his wife and now has cut loose his caddie. I want to express my deepest gratitude to Stevie for all his help, but I think its time for a change, Woods said. Stevie is an outstanding caddie and a friend and has been instrumental in many of my accomplishments. I wish him great success in the future.

Former Mustang hits the court, books at Mission

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Every weekday, Janae Henderson jumps into her black 1995 Cadillac Seville and, bumping J Cole along the way, she drives down Highway 101. For 31 miles, Cole tickles her ears as she makes her way to Mission College in Santa Clara. It may seem like a lot of trouble to go back-andforth everyday from her home in San Bruno to study and play basket-
ball, but for Henderson its always been about the journey 62 daily miles is nothing when youre nal destination is greatness. Those who saw Henderson play as a Capuchino Mustang can tell you that the 5-foot-9 guard (then post) had a lot of raw, untapped potential. Whenever she took the court against the Peninsula Athletic Leagues Lake Division, Henderson was easily one of the best players on the oor. But getting her on the court was
the problem. Janaes questions in high school were always academics, said Mission coach Corey Cafferata. Henderson missed out on playing basketball at Cap her sophomore and junior years because she was academically ineligible. I think it was me not being able to focus as well as I should have, Henderson said of her academic struggles. (I was) letting high school activities get to me. Local schools were interested in
her talents, but it wasnt until a chance encounter with Cafferata after a loss to Oceana that Henderson would get the support she really needed. Cafferata expressed his interest in Henderson and her talent immediately as he focused his attention on turning a bad Mission College program into a contender. He knew she had the skill to help turn the program around. I just came up to her and I was for real with her and said, Hey, youd t in really good with my pro-
gram. It was just a really good situation, Cafferata said, shes a really good player. Shes the most improved player on our team. Shes very physical, very strong and Im glad to have her at Mission. So for Henderson and Cafferata, the task became re-learning how to be a successful student all over again. The one thing for Janae, commuting every day from San Bruno, she struggled a bit academically.

No player vote Wednesday on new NFL deal

WASHINGTON NFL players didnt vote Wednesday on a full proposal to settle the leagues labor dispute, citing several outstanding issues, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person said there was agreement among representatives of all 32 clubs on what items needed to be resolved before any offer would be accepted. A second person, also speaking on condition of anonymity because the talks are supposed to be secret, said those players gave what was termed conditional approval of the proposal as it stood Wednesday. We still have a lot of work to do, said Pro Bowl offensive lineman Tyson Clabo, who played for the Atlanta Falcons last season. The meeting at the NFL Players Association headquarters lasted nearly 10 hours and included the groups executive committee and the team reps.
In Atlanta, where the owners labor committee met, general counsel Jeff Pash said the sides would talk through the night in hopes of having a nal agreement ready to go Thursday. Its obviously a complicated agreement, but I think both sides are at the point where they can close, they should close, and we should be in a position to take votes, Pash, the owners lead negotiator, said following a ve-hour session at a hotel near Atlantas airport. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell joined the meeting of nine of the 10 members of the labor committee, which hoped to recommend a nalized proposal to all club owners, who are due there on Thursday. Remaining issues are believed to include how to set aside three pending court cases: The players antitrust lawsuit against the NFL in federal court in Minnesota; the TV networks case, in which players accused owners of setting up $4 billion in lockout insurance, money that the league would receive even if
there were no games played in 2011; and a collusion case, in which players said owners conspired to restrict salaries last offseason. I think thats the healthy outcome: to have a complete, comprehensive, global agreement that settles all the disputes and puts us on a path where we are going forward together as business partners, the way it should be, rather that going forward with one hand and ghting over something that should be in the past, Pash said. Asked whether owners would consider approving an agreement Thursday, Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson smiled and said: Im always ready for a vote. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who is on the labor committee, wasnt expected to participate because his wife, Myra, died Wednesday, at age 68, after a battle with cancer. Earlier Wednesday, NFLPA president Kevin Mawae cautioned not to assume the lockout will be over by the weekend, saying that his group
was not tied to a deadline for getting a deal done in the next 24 hours. We want to go back to work, but we will not agree to a deal unless its the best deal for the players, Mawae said in the morning. Our goal today is to see what is on the table and discuss outlying issues, he said. The players are not tied to a July 21 timeline. Our timeline is that which gives us the best deal for the players today, tomorrow or whatever it might be. If the four-month lockout the NFLs first work stoppage since 1987 is going to end in time to keep the preseason completely intact, the players and owners almost certainly must ratify the deal by Thursday. The St. Louis Rams and Chicago Bears are scheduled to open the preseason Aug. 7 in the Hall of Fame game. Asked whether that exhibition game will be played, Pash replied: Well see. Its getting tight. It would be pretty challenging. Thats one of the things well have to focus
on. If owners do vote Thursday, at least 24 would need to OK the deal. If its passed by both sides, team executives would be schooled later that day and Friday in Atlanta in the guidelines and how to apply them; topics would include the 2011 NFL calendar, rookie salary system and new free agency rules. Ten players including quarterbacks Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees, Chargers receiver Vincent Jackson and Patriots guard Logan Mankins filed their antitrust suit March 11. That was the day the countrys most popular sports league was thrown into limbo: Negotiations broke off, the old collective bargaining agreement expired, and the union said it was dissolving itself and becoming a trade association. That meant players no longer were protected under labor law but could pursue their cause in court under antitrust law. The owners locked out players hours later.
Super Bowl organizers,
hotels making moves

INDIANAPOLIS Indianapolis is ready to cancel its plans for a backup Super Bowl date. All city ofcials need now is an end to the four-month lockout. Super Bowl host committee chairman Mark Miles said Wednesday he plans to inform local hoteliers that they can begin booking customers for the weekend of Feb. 12 soon after the NFLs owners and players agree to a new collective bargaining agreement. The Super Bowl is scheduled for Feb. 5, but league ofcials had asked the city to keep two weekends open during the bid process in case the date had to be moved. If it blows up in the next couple of days and were right back where we started, well go back to the hotels and say It was a false alarm and ask them to be patient, Miles said. How many hours or days after (a deal) it will take to amend all that, I dont know, but I think it would be pretty quick. For them (hote-
liers) to sit on two weekends, knowing that only one would be used, was an issue. So the sooner its clear they can sell the second weekend, the better. Miles spoke to reporters about an hour before a players meeting broke up in Washington. Football fans were hoping player representatives would approve a new deal at the headquarters of the former NFL Players Association on Wednesday, and that owners would approve the deal at their own meeting Thursday in Atlanta. If both sides had ratied the deal under that timeline, players could have returned to team facilities as early as Friday and even the preseason games would likely start on time. Organizers also were watching closely in hopes of ridding the biggest question for the citys rst Super Bowl whether the game would be played Feb. 5 or Feb. 12. The labor issue has never been about whether there would be a Super Bowl in February, but when, Miles said.
Los Angeles moves closer to NFL team

LOS ANGELES The company that wants to build an NFL stadium in downtown Los Angeles announced a milestone in midFebruary: It had sold the rst unit in its nearby luxury condo project that towers above the skyline. Anschutz Entertainment Group neglected to acknowledge, however, that it had bought the Ritz-Carlton-branded condo unit itself. That omission obscured how hard the housing slump has weighed on the companys agship residential project, which has been hit with millions of dollars in mechanics liens in recent months as it struggles to unload its pricey units in the soft market. Recognizing those troubles could give added bargaining leverage to city ofcials working on a stadium deal with AEG, which has cast Los Angeles as the big winner in jobs, development and prestige if the plan for a 72,000- to 76,000-seat sports venue on the citys convention center site goes forward. AEG on Wednesday released results from a pair of independently completed economic studies that say its plan could yield $41 million annually in new tax revenue, and that the stadium and related convention center improvements would boost the number of conventions in the city each year. But AEGs troubled condo project would also have much to gain from a project that could quickly convert the condos from an apparent drain on the companys cash into a
moneymaker for the rm. Its in their best interest to make a deal with the city to get their initial investment in a stronger position, said City Councilman Bill Rosendahl, who co-chairs a committee of elected ofcials tasked with evaluating the stadium deal. The companys proposal calls for the city to issue up to $300 million in bonds to nance the demolition and relocation of the convention center hall the stadium would displace. AEG ofcials have said they would ask the city to let it use stadium ground lease payments, new property tax revenue and money from its convention center signage rights to repay those bonds. The condo project was itself the upshot of an earlier deal with city ofcials, who required AEG to include a hotel in its plans for the massive entertainment complex known as LA Live because the area was short on guest rooms for convention center visitors. AEG added a 1,001-room hotel building to the 27-acre swath of restaurants, bars and theaters, but it topped the mirrored-glass highrise with 224 condo units to get a quicker turnaround on its investment than just guest rooms would provide. By the time construction nished in early 2010, however, the nancial crisis had slowed demand for housing to a trickle, and AEG has apparently struggled to nd buyers for the upscale condo units that range in price from $850,000 to $9.3 million.

Jet-lag doesnt spoil Wambach homecoming

ROCHESTER, N.Y. The stadium was packed, the Abby! Abby! Abby! chanting fans were loud, and Abby Wambach felt everyone required an explanation because many had, after all, come to see her on Wednesday. So at halftime of the Womens Professional Soccer league game between Wambachs magicJack and the Western New York Flash, the U.S. National team star took a microphone and headed to mideld to provide an apology as to why she the star of the day wasnt playing. I hope I didnt disappoint too many people tonight, but my body really needed a rest, Wambach said. Honestly, Im humbled. Wambach didnt play in what was supposed to be her rst game back and in her native Rochester, no less three days after the U.S. lost the World Cup nal to Japan in penalty kicks. And her presence
even in a limited role sitting on the bench, waving to the crowd and signing autographs seemed enough for the WPS record-setting crowd of 15,404 on hand. Abby, youre the best! yelled one person in the mob of fans that lined the exit waiting for a chance to see Wambach following the Flashs 3-1 win. From Germany to Letterman and nally Rochester, Wambach discovered amid a throng of people that there might in fact be rest for the weary. Ive lived interesting moments in the last 72 hours, planes, trains and automobiles, not much sleep, she said. Today was fantastic. Honestly, Im at a loss for words. This is amazing. Wambach didnt play because of tendinitis in her right Achilles which she said was worse than she had let on in Germany. Weariness also played a factor. Shes spent three days of non-stop travel, during which she conducted,
by her count, some 500 interviews. That included a stint on Late Show with David Letterman on Tuesday night. And if it wasnt for the opportunity to enjoy a homecoming in Rochester where the 31-year-old has always been known and celebrated as Abby Wambach wouldve preferred curling up in the nearest bed for one long muchneeded nap. We had a long road in Germany, and I have to take care of my body, she said, rubbing her eyes. In the end, Im here. Thats saying a lot because this city means so much to me. Wambach along with goalie Hope Solo might have been the face of the U.S. team during the three-week long tournament in captivating the nation back home with her gritty head-rst lunging style and clutch goal-scoring ability. Earlier in the afternoon, more than 1,500 screaming fans packed a mall food court in suburban
Rochester for a rally. And it was at around 2:30 p.m. five hours before game time when fans braved the plus-90-degree temperatures and began lining up at the gates at Sahlens Stadium. One of the draws, aside from seeing Wambach in person, was the chance to be among the rst 1,000 through the gates to receive a Wambach bobblehead doll. We had to choose between going to Eastview Mall, or coming for the bobblehead, and we wanted the bobblehead, said Nancy Brown, who was among the rst at the stadium gate along with her daughter Emily and son Colby. This is very exciting, 11-yearold Emily Brown said, noting that shes had a Wambach poster on her wall since she was seven. Shes in my opinion the best soccer player in the world. Anticipating a large turnout, stadium ofcials added ve temporary metal bleachers across the south end zone, adding about 1,500 more
seats, to up the capacity to about 15,000. The announced attendance surpassed the WPS record of 14,832, set in the rst game ever in 2009 at Los Angeles. Other U.S. team stars on hand were magicJacks Megan Rapinoe and Flashs Alex Morgan. Flash coach Aaran Lines couldnt help but get caught up in the excitement even if it was for an opposing player. Its absolutely deserved, Lines said, of the attention being paid to Wambach. All the excitement of the womens game is just massive, Lines added. This is massive for WPS. Its taken WPS to a whole new level. Vendors sold Wambach T-shirts, with I Love Abby printed on the front. The Love part was in the shape of a heart with soccer ball lines printed through it. Prior to the game, Wambach was presented with the key to the city. wearing a heavy blanket. I never got comfortable. Tigers reliever David Purcey (1-2) walked the rst three batters of the seventh before giving way to Joaquin Benoit. Cliff Pennington singled to make it 5-4, and Josh Willinghams sacrice y tied the game. Matsui and Conor Jackson then hit RBI singles to give Oakland a 7-5 lead. We dont get a lot of homers or even extra-base hits, so thats how we have to beat teams, Melvin said. We hit singles and draw walks and put as much pressure as possible on the other team. Matsui had a RBI single in Oaklands two-run third, but Don Kellys triple helped the Tigers tie the game in the bottom of the inning. Andrew Bailey, Oaklands sixth pitcher, pitched the ninth for his 10th save in 12 tries, striking out Cabrera to end the game with a runner on second. Notes: The Tigers acquired 3B Wilson Betemit from Kansas City for two minor leaguers. Betemit, who is expected to join the Tigers in Minnesota on Thursday, will replace Brandon Inge.
Miller still passionate MATSUI

Continued from page 11
PARK CITY, Utah Five-time Olympic medalist Bode Miller insisted Wednesday hes no longer in search of the perfect run. He is still passionate about making skiing more popular for future generations. I think mostly people look forward to the crashes unfortunately because a lot of the sport doesnt translate well into television, said the 33-year-old Miller, gearing up for his 15th World Cup season. Miller talked Wednesday at an annual summit of U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association sponsors and suppliers. When people whiz by at 80 mph or whatever and theyre out of sight after three seconds, that doesnt tend to inspire people the way we would like, Miller said. He said the sport needs to make better use of modern technology, whether it takes installing more speed guns to show on TV or just at ordinary ski resorts in general. He even suggested allowing a contest
winner to ski down an icy World Cup run after an event, even if it meant Miller was holding a safety harness. Miller suggested doing the latter at Beaver Creeks Birds of Prey run in Colorado. Ive always said have a rafe at the bottom and let somebody ski down the course, put them in a little baby harness so they cant go anywhere, Miller said. Ill ski behind them and hold them back. Or if theyre a (good) skier, let them run the thing full speed if they want to sign the waiver. He said when an expert recreational skier nishes 39 seconds behind the winning time, it puts the skill, danger and level of commitment required to be a top racer in perspective. Miller said its hard for spectators to fathom that a champion such as Ted Ligety, who is terrible in the air, will y distances of 100 to 160 feet at a time on some of the worlds steepest courses. He suggested resorts, in certain marked
areas, allow skiers to track distance in the air by putting in jump markers. Miller said newer events such as slopestyle and skicross better capture what recreational skiers or riders can do on their home mountain, and thats the gap were missing. USSA marketing director Andrew Judelson gave Miller credit for taking time out of his schedule to spend nearly two days at the summit. What youre seeing is the maturation of an elite athlete, Judelson said. Theres a level of maturity where he channels that energy to a manner thats very constructive not only for him but for the next generation of ski racer. Im always excited about racing. I love racing, he said. If I could set up a World Cup venue by myself and get it all sorted out, I probably would not be racing World Cup anymore. But thats the only way you can ski and turn and make jumps at that level. Otherwise you get your ticket pulled every time you try to do it at a regular mountain.

Fellow rookie Lester Oliveros nished the inning, and Detroit took the lead with three runs in the bottom of the sixth. Magglio Ordonez and Miguel Cabrera led off with singles off McCarthy, and Victor Martinez followed with a two-run double off reliever Joey Devine (1-1). McCarthy said the heat and humidity the heat index was 99 degrees at game time caused him to struggle. He allowed four runs on six hits in ve-plus innings. Ive never felt like that before, he said.

skipped while trying to let his left leg heal. A player has the right to fire a caddie at any given time, Williams told The Associated Press from his summer home in Oregon. And for a player when hes not playing at his best for extended period of time, its not uncommon to change caddies, coaches, psychologists or bring on a psychologist. We all know the business. I have no problem being fired. But Im disappointed in the timing of it. When asked over the weekend at the British Open if he was still working for Woods, Williams grinned and said, Why would you ask a question like that? He never answered the question, but gave no Its this application and dedication, to the program and to her life, that has put Henderson on the right track. And its kept on the basketball court.

indication that he would not caddie for Woods when he did return. Turns out he had known for two weeks, and kept quiet out of respect for Scott. Williams said he met with Woods in a board room at Aronimink after the final round of the AT&T National on July 3, and Woods told him they would no longer work together. Williams said they agreed not to say anything until after the British Open, to keep from being a distraction to Scott. More than a caddie, Woods and Williams had been close friends. Both got engaged while on safari after The Presidents Cup in South Africa, and they were in each others weddings. Woods played Cafferata said Henderson shined averaging a double-double down the stretch as Mission tried to make the playoffs for only the second time in school history. They did so and then some: winning their first postseason game ever. Henderson was a big part of that success. And Cafferata will lean on her even more as shell be the only starter returning to the Mission lineup next year. But the key for Henderson, who possesses so much ability on the court, will always be hitting the books. For someone like Janae to be academically eligible, its the biggest accomplishment of her life, Cafferata said. At the community college level, there are no freebies and she has done very good. He can be a hassle, Henderson the New Zealand Open in 2002 as a favor to Williams (he also received a $2 million appearance fee), and he took an interest in Williams race car driving by taking part in a celebrity race on the dirt tracks of New Zealand. The relationship began showing signs of strain after Woods crashed his car on Thanksgiving night, followed by stunning revelations of serial adultery. Despite their friendship, Williams went months without hearing anything from Woods. And it became awkward at times because Woods ex-wife and Williams wife were close friends. On the golf course, their body language looked different, and jokes about her coach and mentor. He always calls, checks up and makes sure everything is going right. But hes been the reason why Ive been on top of my game. Hes constantly there for me. It can be a bit much because Ive never had a coach who cared as much for me to succeed, but I like that about him. Hes like my dad on the court. I was on her so much I think she hated me, Cafferata said. I told her, OK, you have two choices: you come back to Mission, you do stuff better and we make a run at this or you know what? Im going to call my friend up at the mall and see if I can get you a job at Metro PCS or Footlocker. I think she got it. And believe me, her and I have battled over how important school is. School and basketball look to be in Hendersons future. She said

Williams wondered aloud in the spring if the player-caddie relationship was getting stale. In recent months, Williams was feeling out of touch during Woods rehabilitation. He was not aware that Woods did not plan to compete in the U.S. Open until after flying to Oregon from New Zealand, where Williams lives most of the year. Given the circumstances of the past 18 months working through Tigers scandal, a new coach and with it a major swing change and Tiger battling through injuries, I am very disappointed to end our very successful partnership at this time, Williams said on his website. He declined to say whether there are schools who have expressed interest in her talents after her sophomore season schools like Bethany College, which have recruited her heavily. I dont believe in two chances, I believe you should get as many chances as you need to make the right decision, Cafferata said. With Janae, I have an extreme amount of loyalty. A lot of players will tell their coaches, Thank you for the opportunity. Im more of thanking my players, especially Janae Im telling you, 60 miles a day, spending $35 of gas, her loyalty to me right there when she says, Im coming to Mission College to play for you Corey. We have a bond. I appreciate her coming to play for me, believing in me.

It was like that at Cap, but, it just isnt the same. I enjoy the freedom of college more. Its more independent and thats how Ive always been. College is something I really want to do so I know I really have to apply myself.

couldnt corral a hard-hit ball by Brandon Belt in the fourth, and the Giants rookie hustled into second. Then Kershaw got Emmanuel Burriss to ground out and end the inning, and San Francisco never got closer. Javy Guerra pitched a perfect ninth for his sixth save. NOTES: The Giants optioned C Hector Sanchez to Triple-A Fresno to make room for 2B Jeff Keppinger, who
they acquired in a trade with Houston on Tuesday. Keppingers flight was delayed and he arrived late. He flied out to left in the seventh and stayed in to play second. ...

Boasson Hagen completed the 111 miles across the Alps from Gap to the Italian town of Pinerolo in 4 hours, 18 minutes. Bauke Mollema of the Netherlands was second, 40 seconds back, with Sandy Casar of France winning the sprint for third. Voeckler went too fast on a hairpin turn, skidded onto the shoulder of the forested Alpine road, then raced back to try to catch Contador and Sanchez after they sped by.

Norwegian wins stage 17,Voeckler holds Tour lead

PINEROLO, Italy Edvald Boasson Hagen of Norway won the 17th stage of the Tour de France on Wednesday, the rst of three days in the Alps, while Thomas Voeckler retained the yellow jersey but lost time after riding off course on the nal descent. Defending champion Alberto Contador made repeated attempts to get away from his rivals, but was caught on each occasion. He nished in the same time as Cadel Evans, the Schleck brothers and Samuel Sanchez. Voeckler lost 27 seconds and is 1
nished together. If Id taken fewer risks, I would have nished with them, he said. The high-speed pursuit led to another mishap in which he jumped a curb, rolled into a small car park and almost crashed. It was a fraction of a second, but it seemed like an eternity. I closed my eyes and lifted the front wheel and when I opened my eyes, I was still on the bike, Voeckler said. So I said, OK, here we go: U-turn and back to the race. Contador was not downhearted by his failure to get away. I felt good, and youve got to try, he said. He didnt want to talk

about the stages to come. Boasson Hagen recorded his second stage win and the fourth overall for Norway in this years race. It was very difcult yesterday, and today I was able to do better, Boasson Hagen said. I felt I was capable of attacking on the last climb. Mollema was second after Frenchman Jonathan Hivert crashed on the perilous nal descent of the Pramartino. Hivert got back on his bike and came in ninth. Boasson Hagen praised the large contingent of Norwegian fans that has been supporting him and Hushovd throughout the race.
Its really great to see all the Norwegian flags and Norwegian people around the course. It gives some extra power. Evans becomes more of a favorite for the title with every day he keeps his advantage of nearly two minutes over Contador. With shadows and stuff it was real hard to see. Voeckler ran off the road in front of me twice I think. It makes you take things more cautiously. You dont ever want to lose time to anyone, the Australian said. Ive got a good advantage over Alberto now, but Alberto has shown in years gone by what he can do when hes really at his top.

Making new neighbors feel welcome

By Melissa Kossler Dutton
When a neighbor stopped by with a basket of information to welcome Susan Rohr to the neighborhood, she was touched. It just made me feel really comfortable in my new home, said Rohr, who bought a house in the historic Kenwood neighborhood in St. Petersburg, Fla., nearly four years ago. It made me feel like I moved to the right place. The neighborhood association has had a welcome program for years, said Rohr, who now heads it. The social call helps engage residents in the community and gives them a chance to ask questions. In many areas, the practice of welcoming new residents has moved beyond a neighbor dropping by with a plate of cookies to a more formal, community-sponsored visit. Neighborhood associations often use such visits to acquaint new homeowners with the rules and regulations of a community. Other organizations use the opportunity to promote local businesses, social services or events. Many associations have some sort of welcome packet, said Frank Rathburn, spokesman for the Community Associations Institute in Falls Church, Va. Its just a way to inform people about how to enjoy the community and heres what we need to do to maintain it.
At Sun City Hilton Head, a 13,000-person development in Bluffton, S.C., community representatives invite new residents to an orientation meeting, which includes games and prizes. Residents also can request a visit from a member of the welcome committee. Were bigger than some cities, said Sue Sweeney, executive director of the community association. Its very easy for people to get lost in the crowd. In Farnam, Neb., members of the towns Economic Development Corp. have put together an information booklet about local service clubs, government offices and churches. Volunteers deliver it along with coupons from area businesses. Residents in the town of 200 want newcomers to become active in the community, said volunteer Muriel Kotschwar. The people who are the happiest are the people who get involved, said Kotschwar, who makes a handful of welcome calls each year. They dont rely on volunteers to greet new residents in Apex, N.C. The city is home to New Neighbor Welcome Service, a company supported by local businesses and tasked with nding new residents through public records and real estate agents. Its a person saying to you, these are our sponsors and they want your business, said Brenda Steen, executive director of the Apex
Many neighborhood associations use programs to welcome new additions to the community. Many packages include information about the neighborhood,as well as more traditional items such as cakes and cookies.
Chamber of Commerce. Its a more professional approach. When a transitional housing apartment building went up near the ofces of the Hunger Intervention Program in Seattle, employees decided to give welcome bags containing food and household staples such as laundry soap and spices. The gift is a way to familiarize residents with the agencys services, said program manager Kate Murphy. Staff and volunteers are collecting similar donations for a Seattle Housing Authority apartment complex that is opening this summer. Were nding ways that our program can benet them and build ties, Murphy said. Volunteers for the Jewish Federation of Pinellas & Pasco Counties, in Florida, also are interested in building relationships with newcomers. It tries to pair new residents with mentors with whom they have something in common, said Bonnie Friedman, the federations executive director. Members of the welcome committee not only drop by with a gift basket, they invite new residents to accompany them to events or meetings, she said. They also make themselves available to answer questions, she said. Thats what people need in a community, she said. Thats how you start adjusting and learn to like where you live.
Putting the room in a dorm room

By Kim Cook
When New Yorker Wendy Kochs son Bob headed off to Ithaca College freshman year, the car was loaded with great stuff too much of it. That the nice Pottery Barn rug barely t in the car should have been the tip-off. We were taking our seventh trip up three ights of stairs to the tiny dorm room in stiing temps when his roommate turned to Bob and said, You could probably make a lot
of money selling all this stuff on eBay, Koch recalls. There just wasnt room in the room. Making the shopping list for the first college living experience is exciting, but pros say to be prudent about how much stuff you buy. Rooms often seem smaller than the oor plans indicate. That spacious looking common room? More like a foyer. And as one veteran of the dorm wars notes, youll never again have the closet space you did at home. So think about smart storage that
maximizes space yet looks good. Unless youre able to repurpose them as tables, suitcases may not be the best option; they might not t under the bed or in the closet. Collapsible, storable bags work great. Samsonites sturdy nylon Tote-a-Ton bag has 6,452 cubic inches of space. Dormco.com has the Clothes & Go system, which lets you take hanging clothes right out of the closet into foldable bags with a shoulder strap at the dorm, just rehang. Bed, Bath & Beyonds got a venti-
lated, clear vinyl 6-shelf sweater rack that hangs on a rod easy to see whats in it. Some online shoppers have raved about the retailers Dorm Space Saver, which assembles with no tools and, being the same width as the bed, serves as an extra headboard or footboard with shelves. Meg Volk, who graduated this spring from the Fashion Institute of Technology and has traded a tiny dorm room for an equally tiny studio apartment in New York City, recommends small, lightweight, wheeled dress racks that will t in your clos-
et for added hang space. If you do need to come with suitcases, she suggests, use them for out-of-season storage and last semesters papers. Dorm gear is often grouped by classic gender colors and patterns pinks, purples, baroque and animal prints for girls, and surfer, sports, blues and browns for guys. Its better to choose neutral bedding that you wont tire of, and put the pattern and color punch in posters and memorabilia collected during the school year.

Guerrilla gardeners use seed bombsto offset blight

By Dean Fosdick
Homemade seed bombs are a favorite tool of guerrilla gardeners. Since the early 1970s, these latter-day Johnny Appleseeds have been lobbing the clay-wrapped, compost-rich spheres onto unsightly vacant lots, into alleyways or around sidewalks, where theyve exploded into bloom. Thanks to new vending-machine distribution, the small, slow-release seed transporters are also bursting into ower in suburban window boxes, on highway medians and along eroded gullies. Put in two quarters, turn the crank and you get a seed bomb, said Daniel Phillips, an environmental designer who inherited some old candy machines, converted them into seed dispensers, and is merchandising their spread from San Diego to New York, mostly around college campuses and community gardens. As a result, Phillips said from his Commonstudio ofce in Culver City, Calif., seed-bombing has gone from an outdated perception of nocturnal characters coming out in the middle of the night to dig, to traditional gardeners spreading them around problem areas. Kids, in particular, like to operate the machines and watch the things grow, he said. Planting with seed bombs is more effective than broadcasting seed over the ground, said Josie Jeffery, author of this years Seedbombs: Going Wild With Flowers (Leaping Hare Press). Most seeds are very light and there is risk of them being blown away by the wind, making them unsuitable for launching long distances, she writes. The compost and clay act as a carrier so they can be launched over walls or fences and into inaccessible areas. The guerilla garden movement got its start
Your aim is wrong if you are launching seed bombs to be antagonistic,or using them as a form of vandalism or coercion.It is also wrong if you have not given consideration to the plant and its new environment.
Josie Jeffery
For years, seed bombs have been used to brighten up vacant lots and alleyways. Now they are available in vending machines.
in the early 1970s, when eco-activists began turning blighted or abandoned properties into productive and attractive areas to be enjoyed by the entire community, Jeffery said. Seed bombs became a fun and gentle form of dispersing seeds and beautifying those sites, many of which were fenced or difcult to access. Guerilla gardening is generally anonymous since so much of it is done without permission and on property owned by others. Your aim is wrong if you are launching seed bombs to be antagonistic, or using them as a form of vandalism or coercion, Jeffery said. It is also wrong if you have not given consideration to the plant and its new environment. Seed bombing can beautify blighted spaces but it also can cause undesirable side effects, warned Vincent Lazaneo, a home horticultural adviser with the University of California Davis Cooperative Extension.
There are trespass issues, Lazaneo said. It can introduce invasive plants into native habitat. Clearly there are some plants you dont want out here, particularly owers that dry out and become fuel for wildres. Seed bombs are easy to make, Jeffery said. Homemade compost, humus, green manure, and tea and coffee waste can be used, as well as natural binding materials like waste paper pulp and clay, she writes. The compost offers nutrients for the seeds to germinate and grow strong during their infancy, and the clay binds the seed bomb, making it hard enough not to break when it hits the ground. Seed bombs can be tailored to specic sites, climates and needs. What were looking for is low cost and short-term use, said Phillips, who has formulated mixes for every state in the nation. Edible plants, too, and something for birds and butteries. We even have a few that can be used to clean up polluted sites with plants suited for removing toxins and heavy metals. Here are some commonsense dos and donts for seed-bomb use: Launch them at the right time of year for optimum growing conditions. Use the right seeds in the right locations. Dont throw them into neighbors gardens without their consent. And dont use them in agricultural or sensitive natural areas where they could overpower edible or native plants.

Don't let heat deter you from gardening

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

term South Carolinian and one of 234 Republicans who voted Tuesday for a debt limit increase tied to $6 trillion in spending cuts and progress toward a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. Some folks dont want John Boehner to raise it under any circumstances, Mulvaney said of the federal debt ceiling that could be breached on Aug. 2. I tried to explain to them that this is the one chance to actually change Washington, so most folks will come around after we have that discussion. Indeed, some Republicans argue privately that willingness to compromise would also pressure Democrats to agree to cuts in Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security as part of a bargain to reduce decits by $4 trillion over a decade. Among the items Obama has entertained at White House negotiating sessions are gradually raising the age of eligibility for Medicare from 65 to 67 and slowing the annual increases in Social Security checks. Democrats have assailed Republicans in past election campaigns for proposing far less. Eight-ve percent is not a defeat, said Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., who was involved in numerous legislative struggles as a member of the House Republican leadership before his election to the Senate last fall. That would have been the Ronald Reagan view of this moment, he said. You take everything you can get, call it a victory and wake up the next morning and start working for the rest. The hope among House Republican leaders is that the rank and le will be open to compromise talk in a few days, after the legislation they passed Tuesday night has been rejected by the Senate. But for now, the focus of many conservatives, particularly in the House where they hold power, remains an agenda designed for a one-party government. Let me be clear. This is the compromise. This is the best plan out there, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said late Tuesday night after the House had passed the bill that would trade an increase in the debt limit for $6 trillion in cuts and submission of a balanced budget amendment to the states for ratication. In fact, its nothing of the sort, based on the swift demise that awaits the bill in the Senate, a veto threat from Obama and the emergence of a bipartisan decit-reduction plan from six senators who called for at least $1 trillion in increased revenues. Instead, the measure that cleared the House is one of two bookends that Republicans have slid into place in the unfolding debate.

House conservatives wont budge on debt

Skull discovered at Pearl Harbor
HONOLULU An excavation crew recently made a startling discovery at the bottom of Pearl Harbor when it unearthed a skull that archeologists suspect is from a Japanese pilot who died in the historic attack on Dec. 7, 1941. Archaeologist Jeff Fong of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Pacific described the discovery to The Associated Press and the efforts under way to identify the skull. He said the early analysis has made him 75 percent sure that the skull belongs to a Japanese pilot. The items found with the skull, which was determined not to be from a Native Hawaiian, provided some clues: forks, scraps of metal and a Coca-Cola bottle Fong said researchers have determined was from the 1940s. Fifty-ve Japanese airmen were killed and 29 of their aircraft were shot down in the attack, compared with the 2,400 U.S. service members who died. No Japanese remains have been found at Pearl Harbor since World War II.
WASHINGTON House Republicans are unmistakably clear on what they wont do to raise the debt limit and avert a threatened default, and equally emphatic about what they would do if they only had the power. Soon, theyll have to decide what theyll settle for, a dening test of their willingness to compromise in a divided government where they share authority with President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats. The Republican speaker of the House said this week, I do think its responsible for us to look at what Plan B would look like. But some in John Boehners rank and le appear not yet willing to consider such a fallback alternative. Boehner didnt talk specics, but he has been involved in compromise talks with Obama and White House ofcials for weeks, including Wednesday. Politically, the more House Republicans are willing to give ground by trimming their demand for spending cuts or easing their opposition to higher government revenue, the more they may risk alienating the tea party activists and others who propelled them to power. Im actually being accused of selling out back home, said Rep. Mick Mulvaney, a rst-
Perry courts potential fundraisers at L.A. meeting

LOS ANGELES Texas Gov. Rick Perry has met privately with potential fundraisers in Los Angeles as he nears a decision on whether to enter the 2012 presidential race. About 30 people joined the conservative Republican at a Century City neighborhood hotel Wednesday at an event coordinated by influential fundraiser Renee Croce, who helped raise millions of dollars for former California Govs. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Pete Wilson. Perry has been traveling the nation to gauge his support among party loyalists and donors, and fashion the framework of what could become a national campaign. He rushed into the meeting without taking questions and left through a back entrance. Perry would join a wide-open GOP eld, but a key issue is whether he can raise hundreds of millions of dollars to wage a presidential campaign. bringing things that might prevent them from absorbing local culture. If you bring a basketball, you might not throw a rugby ball. Bring one overcoat, not several. And one dress-up outt. Good advice even for students not headed to foreign lands. Both Bed, Bath & Beyond and Wal-Mart offer services that let you shop online and pick up the items in or near the college town. If your child is ying or your car is small, its a great option.
Shuttle era ends with Thursdays landing

By Marcia Dunn
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. On the eve of NASAs historic, wheel-stopping end to the shuttle program, the four astronauts making the nal journey completed one last task. They released the very last satellite to be launched from a space shuttle. It popped out of a can Wednesday: a little 8-pound box covered with experimental solar cells. Over the three decades of the shuttle era, 180 satellites and other spacecraft have been

Convention Center by Wednesday afternoon. Upon receiving their passes, conventioneers perused a 192-page event guide and toted oversized loot bags emblazoned with The Justice League as they milled about the streets of downtown San Diego in anticipation of the festivals opening. Gigantic movie ads wrapped nearby hotels: the Hard Rock was covered with Spider-Man symbols and the Hilton touted Cowboys & Aliens. Hundreds of exhibitors and more than 130,000 guests are expected to pack the Judge Richard Kramer ruled that state law protected the county from being sued for negligence and breach of duciary duty. Kramer also said the suit wasnt brought in a timely manner and wasnt specic enough about how the county allegedly breached its contract. In an amended complaint, district attorney Farley Neuman claimed any ling delay was because Chief Deputy County Counsel Brenda Carlson worried public notice of a suit would destroy the countys chances of a federal bailout. Neuman wrote that Carlson and the countys lobbying experts believed any public accusations of imprudent conduct by the county or Bufngton would undercut the countys political prospects for obtaining federal relief. Blaming Carlson for not telling Neuman his claim was not timely is grasping at straws and not fair to her, Gasner said. Both attorneys went back and forth several times and Neuman declined Carlsons offer to essentially stop the clock on the ling deadline earlier in the proceedings, Gasner said. A hearing on the amended complaint and Gasners reply is set for Sept. 13. The other technical policy issues of the dismissal request point to why this type of defense is so expensive, Gasner said namely that it involves questions of how one government entity sues his health back on track. The police ofcer spent enough time reaching out to Van Winkle that a trusting relationship formed, Anderson said. It is one of the programs small miracles, said Chris Canter, director of development at Shelter Network. Van Winkle gets support from Shelter Network staff but also from the other tenants who live there, Canter said. Richard Lewis, 74, actually lived at the Vendome before the city bought the property with Redevelopment Agency money and converted the single-room occupancy hotel on Second Avenue into housing for the homeless two years ago. The old hotel was lled with some pretty rough guys before the city took it over, Lewis said. It was not family friendly, he said. Now, the 14 men and two women who live at the hotel often share meals together and have developed good ations, some congressional leaders said the plan lacks details and could produce much bigger tax increases than advertised. The Republican staff of the House Budget Committee issued a critique saying the revenue increase could exceed $2 trillion over the next decade, when compared with current tax policy. A tax increase is the wrong policy to pursue with so many Americans out of work, said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va. The plan would simplify the tax code by reducing the number of tax brackets from six to three, lowering the top rate from 35 percent to somewhere between 23 percent and 29 percent. That could provide a windfall for wealthy taxpayers because the 35 percent tax bracket currently applies to taxable income above $379,150. To help pay for lower rates, the plan Convention Center for the sold-out, fourday event. The people who go through those doors, most of them are lm fans and fans of pop culture, be it video games or movies or television shows, T-shirts or comic books, its all part of this big cultural stew, says lmmaker Jon Favreau, who will premiere his latest ick, Cowboys & Aliens, at ComicCon. These are people who normally interact with one another through the Internet ... Then when you nally open it up to meeting in person, it just concentrates that experience. another and if there was an established contract between them. Lehman was a seemingly secure investment that went bankrupt to the shock and dismay of much of the known nancial world, Gasner said. The downfall happened in the blink of an eye and the treasurer and the county did nothing wrong, he said. In the original lawsuit, Neuman said the county and Bufngton engaged in a high-stakes gamble by remaining invested even as Lehman lost value. Doing so, plus not diversifying the pools holdings, violated the countys own policies and state law, according to the suit. But there was no contract between the two, meaning the county cant be sued every time something goes wrong, Gasner said. While the county defends itself against the districts, it is also on the other side of a Lehman legal battle having sued the rm and several of its ofcers, directors and accountants. The 2008 suit, which served as a template for other financially impacted jurisdictions, is being handled by the rm of Cotchett, Pitre and McCarthy on a contingency basis.

legal area is highly specialized. The main component is that this is securities litigation, which is a specialty, Groom said. We didnt feel it was something we wanted to do in-house. The law rm gave the county a slight discount for being a public entity, she said. While the mounting legal fees are steep, Groom said they pale compared to the $20 million to $30 million the county and its taxpayers stand to lose if it doesnt prevail. We have to defend ourselves, she said. Im just so sorry the schools decided they had to do this. A County Ofce of Education representative did not return an inquiry about the suit and its cost for the districts. Keker and Van Nest attorney Stuart Gasner said the expense is one reason he is hoping the lawsuit is dismissed on technical questions before a judge or jury is asked to decide the case. The county is in nancial distress and all this does is move money from one pocket to another and add legal expenses, Gasner said. This is a lawsuit that ought to end as soon as it can.

supplemental security income from the government for which he did not know he was even eligible. Van Winkle, 55, thinks he has spent about three years living on the streets in San Mateo before being placed into the Vendome. I feel more stable now and peaceful, he said. As a homeless person, Van Winkle would often be hassled when he lived on the streets. He also developed some medical problems he did not address until Anderson got him to see a doctor. He is a good man. He just had a hard time functioning out on the street, Anderson said. It is nice to see him get
friendships, Lewis said. The climate is much more positive now and people are changing their lives, Lewis said. The city spent more than $3.7 million to acquire and renovate the hotel into permanent supportive housing for the homeless. Residents of the Vendome are case managed by Shelter Network Homeless Outreach Team staff, who connect them with entitlement benets and county health care services and support them with daily living essentials. The Shelter Network is a nonprot agency that survives in part with donations from the public. To learn more go to: www.shelternetwork.org/

TAX PLAN
later. But supporters say it provides a framework to simplify the tax code, making it easier for businesses and individuals to comply while eliminating incentives to game the system. I think this is an attempt to nd a middle ground on taxes that emphasizes keeping rates low and broadening the base as much as possible, and I think thats a very positive aspect of it, said Eugene Steuerle, a former Treasury ofcial who worked on the last tax reform package that passed Congress, in 1986. Coupled with spending cuts, the plan would reduce decits by nearly $4 trillion over the next decade. While Obama and senators from both parties lauded the plan as a possible breakthrough in their negoti-
would reduce popular tax breaks for mortgage interest, health insurance, charitable giving and retirement savings. Other tax breaks would be spared, including the $1,000-per-child tax credit and the earned income tax credit, which helps the working poor stay out of poverty. The alternative minimum tax, which was enacted in 1969 to make sure that high-income families pay at least some income tax, would be repealed. The tax was never indexed for ination, so Congress routinely patches it each year at an annual cost of about $70 billion to prevent it from hitting more than 20 million middle-income families. About 35 million households claimed the mortgage interest deduction in 2009, and about 36 million households claimed deductions for charitable contributions, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation, the congressional scorekeeper on taxes.

There is a good chance that Lady Luck could intervene on your behalf in the year ahead, and help you finally achieve something you failed at numerous times in the past. Thus, it is important you keep on plugging toward your goals. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Trying to help out another while at the same time attempting to do your own job is likely to turn out to be a bummer for both of you, as you lose track of which project youre working on. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Youre not likely to take kindly to those who oppose your opinions or ideas. If
this is the case, youre apt to turn your back on some really good thinking that could help you out a lot. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Be very careful about who you team up with. If you link up with someone who doesnt operate with the same high standards as you, this person could create trouble. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Owing to an inclination to negatively judge people in advance, you could easily begin a relationship thinking the worst of someone. Its a sure way to cut your own throat and turn your back on a nice person. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Adopting the wrong attitude will defeat you right off the bat. All youll do is unjustly jaundice your view of everyone and everything. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Just because a friend of yours is in a mood that makes him or her
difficult to get along with at this point in time, theres no reason to shun this person altogether. Let him or her be human. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Once you establish an objective, youre apt be quite headstrong when going after it, which is well and good, as long as you dont carry it too far. Be moderate, above all things. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If youre looking for some encouragement, dont seek out the opinions of someone who seldom endorses another persons ideas. All youll get is a negative assessment thatll discourage you. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be careful about borrowing money that you could have trouble paying back, and avoid loaning out what you cant afford to lose. In either case, it is likely to be problematical
for you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your self-sufficient qualities might desert you and, as a result, you could wrongfully depend on others to accomplish your aims. You wont like what they do, nor will you relish the results. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Although youre usually pretty efficient, this could be one of those days when everything you do seems harder or comes out all wrong. If this is the case, put off these jobs until another time. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Trying too hard to please someone will result in no one having a good time. Relax and let the chips fall where they may. Even if things still dont go well, youll be able to laugh. COPYRIGHT 2011 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Heat domemakes U.S.feel like steam bath

By Tammy Webber
CHICAGO If the extreme heat and humidity lingering over much of the nation feels like a steam bath, its because the same principles are at work in the atmosphere. Vast amounts of warmth and moisture have become trapped under a huge heat dome, bringing recordbreaking temperatures and thick, topical air to scores of cities from the Plains to the Ohio Valley. Now the system is moving east to spread the misery to some of the countrys most densely populated areas through the weekend. With temperatures hovering around 100, Jeff Grembocki and other construction workers prepared Wednesday to pour concrete for a walkway improvement project near downtown Kansas City. Empty Gatorade bottles lay strewn across their job site. Grembocki said the heat saps his
energy so much that he falls asleep soon after getting home. He only rouses for a couple of hours to watch TV before going back to bed. The air conditioning, when it hits you, its all you can do to stay awake, he said. The heat dome forms when a high pressure system develops in the upper atmosphere, causing the air below it to sink and compress because theres more weight on top. That raises temperatures in the lower atmosphere, said Eli Jacks, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Silver Spring, Md. The dome of high pressure also pushes the jet stream and its drier, cooler air, farther north its now well into Canada while hot, humid air from the Gulf of Mexico circulates clockwise around the dome, traveling farther inland than normal. Combined with generally clear skies and the suns higher summertime angle, it gets really hot, The arrest was hailed as the symbolic closure of a horric chapter in Balkan history and an important step toward the former pariah state of Serbia joining the European Union. It came less than two months after the capture of Bosnian Serb Gen. Ratko Mladic, who was accused of some of the worst atrocities of the war in the former Yugoslavia.

Children in Brooklyn cool off in the water from an open fire hydrant.The high temperatures across the country are caused by huge amounts of heat and humidity being trapped in the atmosphere.
Jacks said. The cruel result: eye-popping heat index readings measuring temperature combined with humidity. In Newton, Iowa, it was 98 degrees Wednesday with a heat index that ing scandal at a raucous session of Parliament on Wednesday, distancing himself from a former aide at the heart of the allegations and denying his staff tried to thwart police investigations. Cameron, who ew back from Africa early for the emergency session, defended his decision to hire former News of the World editor Andy Coulson as his communications chief, saying Coulsons work in government had been untarnished. Coulson was arrested this month in connection with allegations that reporters at the tabloid intercepted voice mails of celebrities and crime made it feel like 115. A day earlier, Newtons heat index hit 129 degrees. In Indianapolis, the thermometer read 98 degrees but it felt like almost 114. Chicagos Midway Airport recorded a high of 99 degrees, which victims to get scoops. Cameron reminded lawmakers that Coulson has yet to be found guilty of anything. But the prime minister also made his strongest effort yet to distance himself from his former aide.
felt like 108. Humidity levels in some of the hottest cities ranged from 40 to 60 percent. The formation of the dome also explains why conditions in, say, North Dakota arent much different this week than in Houston. The big difference is that people in Houston are accustomed to hot weather. Those in the north are not. In places where the highest temperature you ever expect is in the 80s and youre at 102, there are big health concerns, because fewer people have air conditioning or fans, Jacks said. Heat is the No. 1 killer out of all weather hazards. Whats more, because of the humidity, even nighttime brings little relief. Humidity makes the weather feel far hotter because the body, which cools itself by perspiring, has to work harder when the air is already moist. Its harder to cool down, said Jannie Ferrell, a National Weather Service meteorologist. linked militants as long as the ghters do not interfere with aid distributions. Exhausted, rail-thin women are stumbling into refugee camps in Kenya and Ethiopia with dead babies and bleeding feet, having left weaker family members behind along the way. The crisis is the worst since 199192, when hundreds of thousands of Somalis starved to death, Bowden said. That famine prompted intervention by an international peacekeeping force, but it eventually pulled out after two American Black Hawk helicopters were shot down in 1993.

BELGRADE, Serbia He was on the run for seven years, the last Serbian fugitive sought by the U.N.s Balkan war crimes tribunal. Goran Hadzic, the former leader of Croatias ethnic Serbs, was arrested Wednesday by blackmasked Serbian secret police in a hilly forest as an accomplice delivered cash to him the end of a money trail that began with a photo of a Modigliani painting.

Burial or Cremation: Why does this matter?

By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Are you ever asked the question: Burial or Cremation? Im sure youve thought about this but have you ever seriously thought about this? It is tough for some of us to give this topic the time of day but for many more of us this is a topic of curiosity, and also a topic we will need to deal with at some point in our lives. Burial or Cremation is always a personal choice but did you know that in the long run there is little difference between the two, also a BIG difference but not in the way you think? In the eyes of the state both Burial and Cremation are considered a form of final disposition. Still, it is not that simple. A basic explanation would be this: Burial is a final location; Cremation is a step to a final location. What does this mean? In scenario number one: following a visitation & funeral service the deceased is taken to a specific cemetery to be placed in either a ground burial location or a mausoleum space BUT in a second scenario: following that same visitation & funeral service the deceased would be taken to a crematory to complete the cremation process. When the cremated remains are ready a choice would be needed by the next of kin on whether the cremated remains are to be buried in a cemetery, scattered at sea, taken home, etc. So, when Cremation is selected, Burial can still be the final disposition following the cremation, among other choices. People dont deal with this topic every day, and I know that it is imagined by some that Cremation means the deceased is taken away and will just disappear. That is never the case, and there is always the necessity to properly give the deceased a final resting place. The state legally requires it, and the funeral home is mandated to complete & file necessary paperwork reflecting it prior to any final disposition. I know all this may seem complicated, but it is our job as Funeral Directors to make it all very simple and guide you every step of the way. It is our duty to support families as they maneuver through a sometimes daunting situation and unfamiliar territory, and to provide various options on what is available. Many prefer to make pre-need arrangements years in advance so choices can be made in a more relaxed atmosphere. Pause and imagine yourself as the next of kin following the death of a loved one and being asked the question Burial or Cremation?. Can you knowledgeably answer that? It may be a good idea to at least give the question some thought now. Ive served a few families in the past who couldnt answer that question and ended up making a quick decision they later regretted. It wont hurt to let this topic cross your mind, or even to discuss this question with your family, loved ones, clergy or those who give you support. Look back at your family traditions and use that as a guide. Its important for those who care to have a way to say farewell, and for many to have a place to go following the funeral as a way to visit and begin the healing process. If you ever wish to discuss cremation, funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650) 588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you in a fair and helpful manner.
