By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Joseph Wilbur Welch Jr., wellknown real estate developer and entrepreneur from San Bruno, died Thursday, Aug. 17, 2011. He was 81. Known as Big Joe, Welch was born June 6, 1930 and died peace-

Joseph Welch

fully Thursday with his family by his side. A longtime resident of San Bruno, he ran for mayor in 1999 but lost and was a decades-long

vocal participant in civic dialogue. Welch was known for his work in real estate and as a major property owner, but also as an avid collector of slot machines. The people who knew him, loved him, said former mayor and longtime friend George Corey. Corey met Welch in the late 60s after being elected to the City

Council. He admired that although Welch had a well-deserved reputation of being a hard, sharp businessman, he was also always honest and fair. Corey always respected that. On the other hand, Welch enjoyed telling stories. Corey said he will miss hearing those stories over their regular lunch outings. Welch was born to San Francisco

natives Joseph and Mildred Welch. It was while growing up in San Francisco that Welch met Bob Marshall Sr. Marshall, a former mayor and longtime real estate professional, described Welch as a cornerstone of commercial business in South San Francisco and San Bruno.

Matias Bordaverri moved around the about three-foot opening in his mobile restaurant prepping for lunch. Cutting strawberries and making sure bread is stocked and ready were just part of the dance to be completed 30 minutes before those working in one of many nearby Brisbane ofce buildings descended on the parking lot. Whisk on Wheels, Bordaverris Burlingame-based food truck is one of a handful of options. Within an hour, a mobile food court emerged and by 11:30 a.m. hungry patrons were lining up for food. This Tuesday morning was quite different from local reaction to food trucks just a couple years earlier. Now these businesses are becoming commonplace outside of San Francisco and nding a home in San Mateo County. From paninis to Indian food and desserts, there are mobile restaurants throughout the county working to gain a following. As of July 1, San Mateo County had issued 107 permits to food trucks planning to prepare food within the mobile business, said Director of Environmental Health Dean

A parolee who broke out of a jail transport van using a razor blade to escape a third-strike trial for armed robbery and later offered to be a security expert for the Sheriffs Ofce was sentenced Friday to 198 years to life in prison. Daniel James Longorio, who represented himself during trial, was sentenced as a three-striker. San Mateo County prosecutors do not seek a third strike in all cases but District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said his conduct warranted the

Before firing up the grill, approval needed

Operating a food truck isnt as simple as buying the vehicle and food then parking. Like any restaurant, the mobile food vendors need to be inspected. The vehicle itself needs to get

approval from the state before getting the OK from county health services. Its the latter that grants a registration sticker saying the food truck is approved to prepare and serve food. Often placed in the rear top corner on the left side of the vehicle, securing the round sticker can be held up by the

smallest of detail. Its all about the small details, said Environmental Health Specialist AJ Sekhon. Once a week, on Wednesdays, food trucks are able to drop in to get inspections by the San Mateo

NEW YORK Drink fat-free or low-fat milk, and make sure half of the grains you eat are whole grains. Do these healthy eating guidelines sound costly? Researchers at the University of Washington raised eyebrows earlier this month with a study nding that a healthy diet is expensive and dif-

And with the cost of food rising faster than other products the Agriculture Department estimates that grocery prices will rise by 3.5 to 4.5 percent this year and another 3 percent to 4 percent in 2012 it would seem that problem may only get worse.

Alleged lizard killer pleads not guilty

San Carlos woman does not seek speedy trial for unusual crime
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Police reports
Pranksters
A woman reported that someone rang her doorbell and lit a sock on re with feces in it and left it outside her residence on Village Way in Menlo Park before 9:03 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 9.

A San Carlos woman accused of mortally stabbing her boyfriends pet bearded lizard, Speedy, carving the phrase hate crime in a neighbors car and four days later tussling with a deputy trying to remove her from the train tracks pleaded not guilty to numerous charges stemming from the incidents. Shawna Kim Apour, 37, did not waive her right to a speedy trial on the seven felonies and four misdemeanors and returns to court Sept. 1 for a preliminary hearing. Apour was originally not scheduled to appear in court until late September for allegedly stabbing the lizard, vandalizing the vehicles and abusing her boyfriend because she posted $25,000 bail after her Aug. 13 arrest. However, after sheriffs deputies arrested her again Aug. 16 she was held on a new $200,000 bail bond and prosecutors charged both cases together. Apour let out quite a wail in court during her Friday appearance, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. Defense attorney Charles B. Smith did not return a call for comment but asked Friday that Apour be released from custody on her own

recognizance so she can be treated and get treatment for her psychological issues, Wagstaffe said. The prosecution countered with a failed bid to raise bail to $250,000 based on the number of alleged incidents and Shawna Apou because Speedy is now deceased rather than injured. Prosecutors say the day before Apour knifed Speedy, she punched her boyfriend because she thought he was irting with other women. The situation escalated the following night, when ofcials say she entered the couples bedroom with a knife while the boyfriend watched television and later exited the room and house on Crestview Drive. Speedys owner said he found his 14-year-old pet stabbed between the shoulders and blood on the aquarium. Speedy was rushed to the veterinarian for three stitches but died four days later. Apour reportedly used the knife to vandalize a 1958 Buick belonging to her boyfriends brother and slashed the tires of two other vehicles. She also reportedly scratched hate crime into one hood.

Police later found Apour wandering a street with the knife which she allegedly brandished at them. Deputies Tasered Apour after she refused to drop the weapon, said Sheriffs Lt. Ray Lunny. The following Tuesday, after Apour was released from custody, she was found wandering on the tracks near the San Carlos train station. When a deputy made contact with her, Apour allegedly became aggressive and grabbed for the deputys gun and Taser. She told the deputy she wanted the gun because the government was screwing her, said Deputy District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. Taken together, Apour is charged with felony counts of animal abuse, domestic violence, obstructing an ofcer, attempting to take a rearm from a peace ofcer, vandalism and misdemeanor counts of brandishing a weapon, resisting arrest and trespassing. She is also charged with the allegation she committed a felony while out on bail. Apour, who listed her occupation as elder care during jail booking, was described by her boyfriend as having an obsession with knives, Wagstaffe said. Apour also has an unresolved misdemeanor battery case from July on which she has not yet been arraigned.

Cargill Saltworks project report now available

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

The scoping report for the proposed development of the Cargill Saltworks site in Redwood City is now available, city ofcials announced Friday. The report collected and summarized public comments offered during a six-month period about what the upcoming environmental impact report should evaluate regarding the project such as potential alternatives, environmental issues and mitigation measures that

should be further analyzed. While many of the submitted comments related to the proposed content of the EIR, others offered opinions on the project itself and were not as relevant, city spokesman Malcolm Smith said in a prepared statement. Developers DMB are proposing what they call the 50-50 Balanced Plan, which calls for 50 percent of the 1,400-acre site to be used for parks, open space and restored tidal marsh. The other half would be mixed use with up to 12,000 new homes.

The plan has ignited debate between those who want more housing and pro-environmental groups who think it is tantamount to lling in the Bay. DMB is updating the project description and will submit it later this year, Smith said. Once the city receives it, a second notice of preparation for the EIR will be issued and a second review period will begin. The scoping report and all comments are available on the citys project information website at www.redwoodcity.org/phed/planning/saltworks.

Jobless rate rises to 12 percent in July

SACRAMENTO The unemployment rate in California climbed again, hitting 12 percent in July as the state added just 4,500 payroll jobs for the month, ofcials said Friday. The report by the state Employment Development Department showed much weaker job growth in July than June, continuing what has been a spotty economic recovery with big variations between regions of the state. Coastal regions with strong technology export industries continued to show solid economic performance and frequently outpace national growth rates, while the Central Valley and Inland Empire lag well behind, said Steve Levy, senior economist at the Center for the Continuing Study of the California Economy, in Palo Alto. Its really a tale of two Californias by geography, by sector, and when you put them together its disappointing, he said. The state jobless rate rose from 11.8 percent in June and hit 12 percent for the rst time since March. Most industries added jobs, but big reductions in government payrolls shrank the net gain. California still has the second-worst state unemployment rate in the nation, behind Nevada at 12.9 percent. The national rate in July dropped slightly to 9.1 percent. A survey of California businesses in July counted 14.1 million payroll jobs, up by 189,400 jobs, or 1.4 percent, since July 2010. Thats roughly enough to keep up with recent population growth in the state but not to recover from the loss of about a million jobs in the past ve years during the housing bust and recession. California continues to show wide economic variation from region to region. The jobless rates in the San Francisco and San Jose metro areas stayed unchanged in July at 8.8 percent and 10.4 percent, respectively. Los Angeles lost 30,600 jobs in the month and saw the jobless rate increase from 12 percent to 12.4 percent. Inland areas hardest hit by the housing bust also stayed weak. The Stockton area lost 14,400 payroll jobs and saw unemployment rise from 16.6 percent to 17.5 percent. Imperial County, east of San Diego along the Mexico border, lost 1,600 jobs and saw the jobless rate climb from 29.7 percent to 30.8 percent.

Gov.Brown names former aide to rail board
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has named a former aide with experience in nancing expensive infrastructure projects to serve on the California High-Speed Rail Authority board. The governors ofce announced the appointment of Dan Richard on Friday. It comes days after Brown said he still backs the ambitious project to link San Francisco to Los Angeles and Anaheim by 2020. Construction is slated to start next year in the Central Valley, but criticism is growing over management issues and rising cost estimates. Backers now say the project will cost more than $43 billion. Richard, of Piedmont, advised Brown on legal issues and science in the 1970s and 1980s. He also spent 12 years on the board of San Franciscos Bay Area Rapid Transit system.

WASHINGTON Liberals argue that he caved on the debt ceiling. Unions are upset over his handling of unemployment and labor issues. Hispanics brought the immigration debate directly to his campaign doorstep. President Barack Obamas summer of discontent has been marked by rumblings within his Democratic political base over his willingness to ght congressional Republicans and his approach to xing the economy. Liberals disappointed with Obama for compromising with the GOP during the debt-ceiling showdown now are calling on him to hold rm against Republicans this fall. They want him to push a bold jobs agenda while drawing a strong line on taxes and protecting Medicare and Social Security. In recent weeks, the gripes have become so loud that the president himself acknowledged them during his Midwest bus tour this week. Ive got a whole bunch of responsibilities, which means I have to make choices sometimes that are unattractive and I know will be bad for me politically and I know will get supporters of mine disappointed, Obama said in Iowa. He claimed progress on the economy, health care and two wars. And, offering his backers a bit of tough love, he added: Sometimes youve got to make choices in order to do whats best for the country at that particular moment, and thats what Ive tried to do.

Three men convicted in 1993 Cub Scout slayings go free

Girlfriend wasnt in gunmans room during standoff

SAN RAFAEL A woman who authorities feared was being held hostage in a Northern California hotel room during a police standoff was actually on a different oor of the building, a newspaper reported. Police determined nearly 24 hours into the standoff that the woman was not in a second oor room with her boyfriend but on the fourth oor with the couples dog. It was unclear why the woman did not come forward sooner as police swarmed the San Rafael hotel seeking 38-year-old Peter James Thomas, who was found dead in his room Thursday afternoon.

JONESBORO, Ark. Three men convicted in the nightmarish slayings of three Cub Scouts went free Friday, nearly two decades after they were sent to prison in a case so gruesome it raised suspicions the children had been sacriced in a Satanic ritual. Doubts about the evidence against the trio had persisted for years and threatened to force prosecutors to put on a second trial in 2012. Instead, the so-called West Memphis Three were permitted to plead guilty to murder in exchange for time served, ending a long-running legal battle that had raised questions about DNA and key witnesses and attracted support from celebrities such as Eddie Vedder. The men entered the pleas under a legal provision that allowed them to maintain their

innocence while acknowledging that prosecutors had enough evidence to convict them. Although I am innocent, this plea is in my best interest, Jessie Misskelley said. Damien Echols had been on Arkansas death row and in 1994 came within three weeks of execution. He remained defiant Friday, accusing prosecutors of using innuendo and faulty evidence to convict them. In the event of a new trial, they knew there would be more people watching, more attention on the case, so they wouldnt be able to pull the same tricks, Echols said. Prosecutor Scott Ellington said it would be practically impossible to put on a proper trial after 18 years. The mother of a witness who testied about Echols confession has publicly questioned her daughters truthfulness. And a crime lab employee who collected ber evidence at two of the defendants homes has died.

I believe this case is closed, and there are no other individuals involved, Ellington said. Since the original jury convictions, two of the victims families have joined forces with the defense, declaring that the men are innocent, he added. The victims families were notied about the pact ahead of time but were not asked to approve it. Echols said he and the others would keep working to clear their names. The men, who were teenagers when they were convicted, have spent half their lives in prison.

Ambush strains Israel-Egypt ties

By Maggie Michael and Ian Deitch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Law targets robotripping

Children are increasingly abusing cough syrup to robotrip but may have a harder time buying the over-the-counter drugs if Gov. Jerry Brown signs a bill that passed out of the state Legislature Thursday. Senate Bill 514, authored by state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, will prohibit the sale of over-the-counter cold and cough medicine containing dextromethorphan to minors if Brown signs it into law. Since the medicine can currently be purchased legally by minors, it is popular as a recreational drug, known by the street names DXM, robo, skittles, triple C, vitamin C, dex and tussin. Robotripping is a term coined to describe the high one gets from the drug.

Caltrain:Blended rail feasible

A blended rail system proposed by three local high-ranking lawmakers is gaining steam as Caltrain indicates the plan could work. U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, and Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, offered up a plan in April to keep high-speed trains within Caltrains right-of-way to minimize property takings and greatly reduce the cost of the project. On Wednesday, Marian Lee, Caltrains Modernization Program director, told a group of local elected ofcials that the blended system could work with electrication of the corridor and a new signaling system. The Caltrain corridor can accommodate two high-speed trains an hour in both directions without having to add passing tracks, according to a draft capacity report the transit agency released Wednesday.

CAIRO Egypt registered an ofcial complaint with Israel Friday over the deaths of ve of its soldiers in ghting after an ambush targeting Israelis near the border between the two countries as tensions spiked between the two formerly staunch allies. Retaliatory violence between Israel and the Islamic militant group Hamas also escalated Friday in the aftermath of the deadliest attack against Israelis in three years. Israeli airstrikes killed at least 12 Palestinians, most of them militants, in the Gaza Strip, and six Israelis were wounded when Palestinians red rockets into southern Israel. Egypts ofcial news agency blamed an Israeli ghter jet for shooting and killing four Egyptian soldiers and one policeman while chasing militants who killed eight Israelis in Thursdays ambush in southern Israel. An Israeli military ofcer said a suicide bomber, not Israeli soldiers, killed the Egyptian security forces. He said the attacker had ed back across the border into Egypt and detonated his explosives among the Egyptian troops. He spoke on condition of anonymity according to military regulations. Israeli media reported that some of the sniper re directed at the Israeli motorists Thursday came from near Egyptian army posts and speculated that the Egyptian troops were killed in the cross re. It was not possible to reconcile the different versions. There was an exchange of re between Israeli soldiers and terrorists on the Egyptian border following the deadly terror attack

REUTERS

A protester waves an Egyptian ag during a protest in front of the Israeli embassy in Cairo.
Thursday morning. We are investigating this matter thoroughly and will update the Egyptians, the Israeli military said. Thursdays attack signaled a new danger for Israel from its border with the Sinai Peninsula, an area that has always been restive but was kept largely under control by former Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak. The desert area has become increasingly lawless since Mubarak was ousted on Feb. 11 following a popular uprising. The violence also threatened to further damage ties between the two countries if Egypts political upheaval and a resulting power vacuum in Sinai allows Gaza militants, who had been pummeled by a punishing Israeli threeweek war 2 1/2 years ago, to open a new front against Israel in the frontier area. Relations between the two countries have been chilly since they made peace in 1979, but Israel valued Mubarak as a source of stability with shared interests in containing Iran and its radical Islamic proxies in the region. Anger rose after Egyptian ofcials said Thursdays gunbattles killed ve Egyptian security personnel. An Egyptian security ofcial said three died Thursday and two others died of wounds on Friday.

New Mexico hero who saved girl says hes illegal

City may extend massage ban

San Carlos top law enforcement ofcial wants the city to extend an emergency ban on new massage permits for a full year in hopes of crafting a new permanent ordinance that allows legitimate operators to open businesses while sifting out hubs of prostitution. Sheriffs Capt. Greg Rothaus, head of the San Carlos Patrol Bureau, will ask the City Council next week to stretch an existing 45day urgency moratorium for another 10 months and 15 days which is the maximum allowed under the government code. The City Council rst enacted the moratorium in July.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. The man who chased down a suspected child abductor and saved a 6-year-old girl from what could have been a horrible fate was honored as a hero Friday. But he is also gaining a new kind of celebrity: as a poster child of sorts for immigration rights in state and national immigration debates. Antonio Diaz Chacon, 23, is married to an American and has been in the country for four years. But Chacon says he abandoned attempts to get legal residency because the process was difcult and expensive. Diaz Chacon revealed his immigration status to Univision this week and conrmed to the Associated Press that he is illegal, prompt-

ing chatter on the Internet and social networking sites that his case underscored immigrant rights positions in two ongoing political debates. Some argue he is an example of the kind of immigrant the federal government will now largely leave alone. The Department of Homeland Security announced Thursday that deportations would focus on criminals. As exceptional as his story is, said Christina Parker, a spokeswoman for Border Network for Human Rights in El Paso, Texas, it points to the fact that most undocumented immigrants living in the United States are not criminals. Hes more than not a criminal now. Hes a hero. Others used it to blast New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinezs ongoing attempts to repeal a state law that allows illegal immigrants to

obtain a drivers license. The governor has put the repeal, which was defeated in the regular session earlier this year, on the agenda for a September special session. Most are just working to support their families and to take away their drivers license would be detrimental to that, Parker said. Diaz Chacons status didnt play a role in Albuquerques decision to honor his bravery. Mayor Richard Berry declared Friday Antonio Diaz Chacon Day in Albuquerque and held an afternoon ceremony where he presented Diaz Chacon a Spanish language plaque recognizing his bravery in jumping in his pickup and chasing the suspect until he crashed into a light pole. Diaz Chacon then rescued the girl as the driver of the disabled van ran into the desert. The suspect was arrested later by police.

Once again,BART gets it wrong

Oakland Tribune

Other voices
Unfortunately, BART doesnt seem to recognize that. Police have fatally shot two men on station platforms in the past 2 1/2 years. In the rst incident, an unarmed man was shot point blank in the back as he was restrained face-down on the ground at the Fruitvale station in Oakland. An outside review concluded that leaderless, poorly trained ofcers failed to follow basic crowd-control protocols that could have prevented the tragedy. The ofcer was convicted of manslaughter. The second case, just last month, involved a homeless man whom BART police say was armed with a bottle and a knife at the Civic Center station in San Francisco. The case remains under investigation. It was that shooting that prompted the planned protest last week and, in turn, prompted BART to shut off cell phone service. Suddenly BART raised the stakes, adding a second civil liberties issue to the mix. This time, it wasnt an officer firing in the heat of the moment; it was top officials making a

ust when one thinks that BART ofcials might be starting to learn from their bad mistakes of the past, they raise the stakes by doublingdown on a dumb move. We are of course talking about the decision last week to shut off cell phone service within the transit system to quell an expected protest. BART might be within its legal rights. Thats a debate that will surely land in court somewhere soon. But this isnt just about legal rights. This is about perception. In an era where totalitarian regimes try to control the masses by shutting off electronic communications, it was predictable that BART would further tarnish its law enforcement image by resorting to the same tactics as dictators in Egypt and Tunisia, among others, merely in anticipation of a possible protest. BART ofcials keep highlighting that their job is to provide safe passage for its passengers. Thats true. But they are also part of a government agency with a police force. That power comes with the duty to use law enforcement authority responsibly, and with restraint.

premeditated decision. We fully recognize and understand the tremendous inconvenience and danger that trackside protests pose for riders. We are not suggesting for a moment that violence should be tolerated within BART stations or anywhere on the streets. Nor should the invasive retaliatory tactics of Anonymous, the cyberbullying group that ironically invaded riders privacy to protest BARTs invasive tactics, be allowed to go unpunished. But BARTs decision to use a tactic with weak constitutional grounding and questionable effectiveness is more than disappointing, it is disconcerting. There might be an extreme case where public safety justies a government agencys stiing of communication systems. After all, the First Amendment rights of free speech are not absolute. And this post-9/11 era poses new challenges for those who are charged with protecting us. But the anticipated protest at BART did not rise to that level. It wasnt even close. BART ofcials have managed, once again, to demonstrate to the nation and the world how poorly the agency is run.

Silly season begins

he silliest thing about national presidential primaries is the early Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary elections have, generally, accrued one half of all the time and money spent on media attention for the whole primary season. What has been the silliest is these two small states are not nearly representative of the diversity of the nation as a whole. They are overwhelmingly more white, rural and wealthier than the national average, and neither is in the fast-growing South and West. When I was younger, many of the nal nomination decisions were made by the professional pols at their national conventions in what was called smoke-lled back rooms. But there was growing revulsion among voters that brought the primaries closer to the will of the people, making primaries actually primary in the nominations. And, today, by the time of the national conventions, there is little doubt about who will be the nominee. From a party victory point of view, this might not be the best candidate available to defeat the nominee of the other major party in the nal election. For example, Karl Rove, one of the most astute architects of winning elections, is already concerned that those now running for the Republican Party nomination may deconstruct each other to such an extent and move each other so far to the right in seeking the conservative vote that the nal winner will not be moderate enough to capture the crucial independent vote. The reason Iowa and New Hampshire victories have become so coveted is they can spark a bandwagon effect for the leaders. This has become so true that two incumbents, presidents Truman and Johnson pulled out of their efforts for re-election when they did not come out rst in their New Hampshire primary races. There is something really stupid about such powers, when the feelings of all of the voters in this highly diverse nation in races, economic status and regional political orientation has not been tested. In the prolonged process, the election media coverage stretches over a year and a half with horrendously expensive paid advertising needed to capture even a few primary voters, which leads to candidates becoming beholden to special interests in the need to pump up campaign funds. And questions of will he/she run or not run becomes a media obsession and a vehicle for some to currently just play brand enhancement, that leads to millions in income as television commentators and speaking fees. What it also does is bring out some freaks and geeks for the ride, some who dont have a ghost of a chance of winning the nomination. Incredibly, a record number of 23 candidates, mostly freaks, sought the Democratic Party nomination in 1976. However, that was also the rst year in which primaries and caucuses carried more weight than the old boss-dominated system. This round, there are a total of 16 Republicans who have formally declared their candidacy and six about whom there is serious speculation, so this may rival the 1976 record. The silliest of the silly has been last weeks Ames (Iowa) Straw Poll. There must have been millions of dollars spent in political advertising, busing in supporters, reception tents with distribution of meal tickets and some nationally famous entertainers on the campus of Iowa State University, as well as being blanketing by hundreds of representatives and television channels from most of the media in the United States. For what? The total number of voters in this non-binding straw poll was just short of 17,000, a little more than half the population of Foster City. And, two of most powerful of potential candidates, Mitt Romney and Rick Perry, governor of Texas, werent even entered. And, of course, Sarah Palin did show up, again, to tantalize the press and enhance her brand without declaring a candidacy. I dont know of any serious and respected analyst, not including the entertainment pundits of commercial and cable television, who would believe the two top polling candidates could ultimately corral the nomination. U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, with just short of 5,000 votes (29 percent) will still be the queen of the pack until, at least, the rst ofcial Iowa caucus on Feb. 6, 2012. U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, a perennial candidate, with some extreme views about reforming the national government, was only 150 votes behind her. But there hasnt been a president elected while serving in the House of Representatives in 130 years and, with Bachmann, her relatively short four-year term in that national ofce could militate against her. As a result of this straw poll ex-governor Tim Pawlenty, one of those I considered most likely to be a challenge to President Obama, pulled out of the race because he polled only 2,300 (14 percent) of the votes in this absurdly middle-America, small state, small town, rural, white, middle class straw polling.

Letters to the editor

Thank you Keith Kreitman
Editor, Thank you Mr. Kreitman for your well thought out and articulated Devil take the hindmost opinion published in the Aug.13-14 weekend edition of the Daily Journal. We need more vocal support from people who share and are not afraid to speak up. There are a lot of people out there who need our support. paying down the debt. Keynes referred to this so-called savings as a liquidity trap. People neither consume nor invest in productive endeavors because the future looks grim. Since 70 percent of our GDP is consumer spending, this is bad news. U.S. companies are sitting on $2 trillion in cash because they see no demand. As we are seeing in Europe, austerity programs lead to more unemployment, lower GDP, lower tax revenue and bigger decits. The way out is direct government creation of jobs, even if it leads initially to higher decits. We can also raise the marginal tax rates to where they were under Reagan, institute a tiny tax on nancial transactions and stop spending $200 billion per year in Iraq and Afghanistan (rather than attack Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, which are paid for by taxes and not by government bonds). Our nancial wizards and the Nobel Prize economists who gave them ideological cover brought about this economic collapse. Yet they still run the IMF, World Bank, and the U.S. government and have unlimited access to the U.S. Treasury. It is time, as Keynes put it, to liquidate the rentiers.

Reassert the voice of the people

Editor, Long ago, when I was young and naive, I thought we had representative government and honest elections. How sad to grow up and realize that our legislators do not heed their constituencies but cater to lobbyists and special interests. Petitions and surveys are ignored. It takes a wake-up call like the Tea Party to make a dent in it. There is widespread disaffection among our people and we should pay attention. The rst thing dictators do is falsify elections. I was a poll watcher in Chicago and I saw what they do. To have those corrupters in Washington, D.C. is a terrible hazard to our democracy. For years, people have clamored to have English our ofcial language but nothing is done. We have demanded protection for our borders but the illegals keep pouring through. When will we reassert the voice of the people and take back our government? Its not too late.

Spend, spend, spend

Editor, Steven Howards letter in the Aug. 13-14 edition of the Daily Journal makes for a nice Sunday school lesson on the importance of thrift. However, in the context of a great recession (and the threat of another Great Depression), his advice is effectively equivalent to a call for national suicide. John Maynard Keynes referred to the paradox of thrift. Normally a good thing, in times like these it leads to a downward economic spiral. The 6 percent savings rate we see now is not normal for retirement, a house, education, etc., but rather is a savings rate for

Week of losses

Wall Street
transform itself into a company that caters to corporations. After the market rose early, some investors sold in case bad news comes out of Europe over the weekend. European investors were also cautious banking stocks fell near two-and-ahalf-year lows, dragged down by rumors about banks potential losses on bonds issued by heavily indebted governments. These things usually break out over the weekend and then you have a mad dash Monday to react to them, said Mike McGervey, the head of McGervey Wealth Management. The drop late in the day recalled the 2008 financial crisis. Then, many investors stepped up their selling in the afternoon out of fears about news that might break overnight or on weekends. Lehman Brothers failed on Sunday, Sept. 15. The government took over mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac the previous weekend. The Dow lost 172.93, or 1.6 percent, and closed at 10,817.65. It was down 4 percent for the week. Since July 21 four weeks and one day the Dow is down 15 percent.

Intuit Inc.,up $3.35 at $43.65 The maker of TurboTax software posted a strong outlook for the next year. A Citi analyst raised his price target on the stock.

NEW YORK A growing belief that the U.S. economy may be headed toward recession gave the stock market its fourth straight week of losses. The anxiety in the market was obvious Friday as the major indexes went from moderate gains early in the day to another sharp loss. The Dow Jones industrial average had its 10th move of more than 100 points in 15 trading days this month. We just dont know whether were going to have a recession, said John Burke, head of Burke Financial Strategies. There was little news to help investors determine their next moves. However, JPMorgan Chase & Co. joined other nancial rms and cut its forecast for economic growth during the fourth quarter. Its now predicting growth at annual rate of just 1 percent, down from an earlier forecast of 2.5 percent. That added to the recession fears. Investors disliked the news late Thursday that Hewlett-Packard Co. is planning to exit most of its consumer businesses, including PCs. HP fell 20 percent to a six-year low. HP plans to

THE FALLOUT: HPs stock plunged 20 percent on Friday,a day after the restructuring announcement.Thats a strong signal that investors are doubtful about HPs ability to thrive without businesses that have helped set it apart from rivals.

Texting, grand theft auto style; alarms pose risk
SAN FRANCISCO Texting and driving dont go well together though not in the way you might think. Computer hackers can force some cars to unlock their doors and start their engines without a key by sending specially crafted messages to a cars anti-theft system. They can also snoop at where youve been by tapping the cars GPS system. That is possible because car alarms, GPS systems and other devices are increasingly connected to cellular telephone networks and thus can receive commands through text messaging. That capability allows owners to change settings on devices remotely, but it also gives hackers a way in. Researchers from iSEC Partners recently demonstrated such an attack on a Subaru Outback equipped with a vulnerable alarm system, which wasnt identied. With a laptop perched on the hood, they sent the Subarus alarm system commands to unlock the doors and start the engine. Their ndings show that text messaging is no longer limited to short notes telling friends youre running late or asking if theyre free for dinner.

SAN FRANCISCO HewlettPackard, one of the worlds largest technology companies, finds itself the underdog as it ditches most of its consumer businesses to become more like the well-oiled, corporate-focused machines of rivals IBM and Oracle. HP will no longer make smartphones and tablet computers and wants to leave the PC business after spending a decade assembling itself into a technology conglomerate by buying such companies as computer maker Compaq Computer for $19 billion in 2002 and smartphone pioneer Palm for $1.8 billion last year. HPs stock plunged 20 percent on Friday, a day after the restructuring announcement. Thats a strong signal that investors are doubtful about HPs ability to thrive without businesses that

have helped set it apart from rivals. Even though the PC division that HP wants to sell or spin off is the companys least profitable, it accounts for nearly a third of revenue. Rumors have been circulating for months that HP might try to exit the PC business, which is under pressure from tablet computers and smartphones the ones made by Apple, not HP. Analysts generally agree that HP would be better off in shedding a thinly profitable business that faces erce competition. However, their anxiety spiked because of how HP went about it. Some analysts worry that CEO Leo Apotheker may have done irreversible damage to the PC business by throwing its future into question. He said HP is merely considering possibilities for the business and may not shed it at all after 12 to 18 months of exploration.

NYSE warns PMI Group over low stock price

WALNUT CREEK Mortgage insurer The PMI Group Inc. said Friday the New York Stock Exchange has notied the company that it fell below the exchanges listing standard that requires a minimum average closing price of $1 per share over 30 consecutive trading days. The Walnut Creek, Calif., company has six months to regain compliance with the requirement or until its next annual meeting, if shareholder approval is needed to x the problem. If it fails, the exchange will start suspension and delisting procedures. The company said it has notied the exchange that it will try to x the problem. It also said the notice does not affect its business operations. PMI shares closed at $1 July 29 and have been below that mark every trading day since. Earlier this month, the company warned investors that it may be unable to continue selling new policies and could shut down.

SAN JOSE A former Frys Electronics executive accused of embezzling millions of dollars to cover gambling losses has led for bankruptcy, listing nearly $137 million in debt. Ausaf Umar Siddiqui owes about $20 million to Las Vegas casinos, according to his July 13 bankruptcy ling in San Jose. He also has outstanding gambling debts in Connecticut and Britain, however the amounts are listed as unknown. Siddiqui, formerly a top executive at the electronics retailer, was once considered a Vegas high roller who reportedly demanded casino employees leave gold-

en raisins and bottles of Dom Perignon in his room. The Internal Revenue Service charged him in 2008 with embezzling $65 million dollars by forcing vendors to pay kickbacks in order to ensure their products were stocked on Frys shelves. A revised indictment charged him with nine felony counts of wire fraud and money laundering totaling $6 million. He has pleaded not guilty. Frys has more than 30 stores in nine states including California, Texas and Georgia. Siddiqui also owes money to at least five Frys vendors, according to the

bankruptcy ling. He also faces $15 million in state tax liens. Were not surprised that he would have filed for bankruptcy, attorney Robert Rivas, who represents two of the creditors with claims against Siddiqui, told the San Jose Mercury News. But the amount is obviously rather staggering. Calls to Siddiqui and his bankruptcy attorney, Basil Boutris, by the Mercury News were not immediately returned. And a message left by the Associated Press at a listing for an A Siddiqui in Sunnyvale was not immediately returned.

After joining Foursquare,whats next for Obama?

By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK President Barack Obama joined the location-based social network Foursquare this week, adding to his other hip, online destinations that include Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Obama is also on the professional

social networking service LinkedIn, which suggests the president is hedging his bets, in case hes looking for work after the 2012 election. In announcing his entry to Foursquare, the White House said in a blog post that it will offer tips on the places he visits, including his recently launched bus tour of the Midwest on economic issues.

So far, his Foursquare posts have been past tense, giving information on where he was, rather than where he is (as most utilize Foursquare). The announcement didnt stop the jokes about the irony of the president whose location is generally shrouded in secrecy for national security sake advertising his movements on the Internet.

Argos look to take next step Giants shut out

Astros 6, Giants 0

There is no question that the Notre Dame de Namur mens soccer team has all the right tools. The question is, can they build something really special in 2011? If you ask my guys if they dont win, theyll denitely tell you it will be an unsuccessful season, said NDNU Director of Soccer BJ Noble. Can we compete to win the championship? Absolutely. Id be lying if I told you otherwise. Expectations are running high in Belmont after a 2010 that saw the Argonauts go 13-3-2 overall, 10-2-2 in the PacWest, which was good for a third-place nish. Of the 26 players on that roster, 19 return, including a handful of major impact players that has Noble and the Argos full of optimism. I think this year, we can replicate a lot of the results that we had last year, Noble said. But absolutely, we showed the we can improve upon them. We denitely showed that we have a team that can compete for a conference championship but a lot of things have to go our way, maybe create a little luck here and there. And then also, shoot for an NCAA berth. A lot of things went right for Notre Dame in 2010, including a breakout season up front by Sequoia High product Armando Garcia. That said, Noble knows that the key to their success started with the back.

Miami could face NCAAs death penalty

By Michael Marot
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS NCAA President Mark Emmert says hes willing to back up his tough talk on punishing rule-breakers even using the death penalty as a deterrent. With salacious allegations swirling around Miamis football program, and one week after Emmert joined with university presidents to discuss toughening sanctions against cheating schools, the NCAAs leader said he believed the infractions committee should make the harshest penalty an option. If, and I say if, we have very unique circumstances where TV bans and death penalties are warranted, then I dont think they are

off the table and I would be OK with putting those in place, Emmert told the Associated Press in a telephone interview Friday. Emmert later said the death penalty, which prohibits a school from competing in a sport, should only be used in rare cases. He was quick to distance his comments from the Miami case. Convicted Ponzi scheme architect Nevin Shapiro has said he provided improper benets to 72 Hurricanes football and basketball players from 2002-10 and that a handful of coaches in both programs were aware of the infractions. Yahoo Sports rst reported the allegations following an 11-month investigation in which it said it audited thousands of business and nancial documents and spent

more than 100 hours interviewing Shapiro. The NCAA has already spent ve months investigating Miami and calls speculation about penalties for an ongoing case premature.

I will say that the university is being extremely cooperative and that is extremely helpful, Emmert said. But if, and I underline the word if, the allegations are true, thats extremely disappointing. If the allegations are true, it would be the ugliest scandal in college sports in years and the worst during a 18-month span in which the NCAA has looked into football programs at Southern California, Auburn, Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan, North Carolina, LSU, Tennessee and Georgia Tech and basketball programs at Southern California and Connecticut. Miami makes both lists. Yahoo Sports also published a photo of

NFL, union to meet Harbaugh faces team that HGH test experts gave him his coaching start
By Eddie Pells
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Negotiators for the NFL and the players union will meet with anti-doping experts next week as they try to reach an agreement on HGH testing before the start of the season, people familiar with the negotiations told the Associated Press. Though the league and union reached a general agreement in their new labor deal to test for human growth hormone, the union is waiting to see the specics of the program before giving its nal OK. The union has asked the World Anti-Doping Agency for documentation about the accuracy of the seven-year-old HGH test. People familiar with the negotiations, who did not want their names used because the talks were supposed to remain condential, said the meeting with ofcials from WADA, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and other experts is set for next week, with the goal of answering all questions about the test. The union, long skeptical about blood tests that must be used to detect HGH, wants to review the information before agreeing to any test. Ofcials from the NFL, which has pushed for HGH testing since 2008, said they were surprised at the unions reluctance to sign off on the testing. The HGH test has been available and widely accepted by scientists and Olympic sports organizations since 2004. To go through an entire two-year-plus period where there was no discussion concerning the accuracy of the test, then suddenly, to see discussions about the test and the science arise in the last 24 hours of negotiations, it does not seem to be based on concern for the facts, said Adolpho Birch, the NFLs senior vice president of law and labor policy. NFLPA spokesman George Atallah did not return messages left by AP seeking comment.

As part of the collective-bargaining agreement signed earlier this month, the NFL Players Association and league conrmed that the program on anabolic steroids and related substances will include both annual blood testing and random blood testing for human growth hormone. But the union wanted to see the details before ofcially agreeing to anything, and they have not been worked out. We said we would agree to it when we were satised with the testing, the procedures, and more importantly, the reliability of the testing available, a person familiar with the unions stance told the AP. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the negotiations. If no agreement on HGH testing is reached, the league would operate under its old policy, which did not test for HGH. Birch, in charge of the NFLs testing program, said that could take one of the unions top priorities a third-party arbitration system to review positive tests and their subsequent penalties off the table. Beyond that, theres little use in speculating, Birch said when asked what the NFL could do if the union doesnt agree to HGH testing. Aware of the players longstanding resistance to blood testing, the NFL was among the leagues who funneled money into research for a urine test that would detect HGH. Any such test, however, remains years away, so the league pushed for blood testing, saying it would be an important part of any new contract. Anti-doping experts have long criticized the NFL and Major League Baseball for not testing for HGH. Baseball tests minor league players, and earlier this week, Rockies Triple-A player Mike Jacobs received a 50-game suspension after a positive test for HGH and became the rst North American pro athlete to be punished for taking the drug.

NAPA Before he transformed Stanford from a laughingstock into a powerhouse and achieved his goal of being an NFL head coach tasked with rebuilding the oundering San Francisco 49ers, Jim Harbaugh got his full-time coaching career started across the bay in Oakland. Fresh off the end of a 15-year career as an NFL quarterback, Harbaugh joined the Oakland Raiders in 2002 near the lowest rung of the coachJim Harbaugh ing ladder as an offensive assistant on a team that went on to win the AFC championship. Despite the long days and little pay, Harbaugh took plenty out of his two years on Bill Callahans staff with the Raiders where he became a favorite of owner Al Davis. He learned how to coach. Id never coached before full time, so how to be a coach, how to be detailed, so many things, sitting in on personnel meetings from the best, Mr. Davis, and Bill Callahan, tremendous football coach, and exposed to great players like Rich Gannon, Harbaugh said. So many things, a thousand things really that I learned over there. Harbaugh will get to show the Raiders some of what he learned on Saturday night when he leads his new team into the annual Battle of the Bay exhibition game. Harbaugh went from offensive assistant with the Raiders in 2002 to quarterbacks coach the following season. Then to Davis disappointment, Harbaugh left to become the head coach at the University of San Diego. He wanted me to stay, Harbaugh said. At the time he thought I really wanted to be a pro coach and I told him that I was going to go back and coach in college and emulate the way he had done his career, where he had started off as a college coach. Thats when Davis pointed out a small difference in the two mens paths. He told me that he had been at U-S-C, not U-S-D, Harbaugh said. Harbaugh went 29-6 in three years at San Diego before taking over a one-win Stanford team for the 2007 season. Harbaugh resurrected the Cardinal, leading them to a bowl game in his third season and then a 12-1 mark and No. 4 national ranking that was the highest season-ending ranking for the school in more than 70 years. He parlayed that success into the job with

the 49ers, where he hopes to lead this onceproud franchise back to the playoffs for the rst time since 2002. There was speculation that Harbaugh could be a candidate for the Raiders job, but he decided to go to the 49ers and Oakland promoted offensive coordinator Hue Jackson to the head spot. Jackson is plenty familiar with Harbaugh and his family, having served as an assistant with his brother, John, on the Baltimore Ravens staff. He is a ne football coach, Jackson said. I really was impressed (with) what he did at Stanford and obviously he had some time here at the Raiders before. So Im looking forward to, you know, matching wits against them this weekend. Along with being Harbaughs coaching debut at Candlestick Park it is also a surprising return to the stadium for Alex Smith. When he walked away in January, he hardly gured he would be returning with the home team less than eight months later. Instead, the 2005 No. 1 overall pick signed a one-year free agent deal to return to the 49ers despite the boos from his own crowd, despite the critics and skeptics. Smith struggled in the exhibition opener at New Orleans, going 2 for 7 for 10 yards in a 24-3 loss to the Saints. Then he even heard the boos from fans during last Sundays FanFest at Candlestick. My mindset is a play at a time, put some good plays together, Smith said. Not get too carried away with anything else, fans or a mistake or whatever. ... Throw some good balls, get some rhythm for this offense. We really struggled to get any rhythm last week. Thats really the next step. Besides that, Im really not worried about anything. The Raiders rst-team offense fared better than Smith and the Niners did in their exhibition debut, with Jason Campbell leading two lengthy drives that led to one eld goal in a 24-18 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Oakland committed 10 penalties, managed just one touchdown on ve trips inside the Arizona 30 in the game and struggled in pass defense after the starters left. That leaves plenty of room for improvement against the 49ers. I expect us to be a very dominant defense and I want to see our defense play that way, Jackson said. I expect us to be an offense that can execute at a high level and I expect us to do that. I expect this team to start taking the next step. Again, everything headed toward that opening game, but we need to improve in all areas. I need to improve coaching. We need to improve playing.

Pryor considering appeal of suspension after draft

By Dave Skretta
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

www. bayarealasertherapy.com

Former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor could appeal the ve-game suspension levied against him by the NFL should he be chosen in next weeks supplemental draft, a decision that would add another layer of complexity to an already unprecedented situation. Pryor was part of a list distributed by the league of players who are eligible for the draft, but the NFL decided that he wont be allowed to practice for the Terrelle Pryor team that selects him until Week 6. Pryor gave up his nal season with the Buckeyes following an investigation into the teams memorabilia-for-cash scandal, which ultimately landed the school on probation and cost coach Jim Tressel his job. Pryor wouldve had to sit out ve games had he chosen to return to Ohio State. Pryors agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told The Associated Press on Thursday that we accept

that voluntarily. But the players attorney, David Cornwell, told ESPN Radio on Friday that its likely the ve-game punishment will be appealed once Pryor signs an NFL contract. We have the right to appeal within three days after Terrelle signs an NFL contract, Cornwell said. And given some of the developments both in reaching the decision and comments out of the (NFL Players Association) regarding the decision I think its likely that we will le an appeal, and give the Players Association an opportunity to make its objections to this on the record. Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith worked together to craft the decision. The league is trying to dissuade future college players who run afoul of the NCAA from using the NFL as a means of escaping punishment. But the move has been staunchly opposed by current players who believe the NFL is overstepping its authority. Some of those players have Tweeted their support for Pryor, while others asked whether the NFL is setting a dangerous precedent. For

Time running out for slumping Quakes

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The date was June 11. The place, RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. The event, a San Jose Earthquakes win. Yes, last weeks 2-1 loss to the Colorado Rapids at Buck Shaw Stadium marked the unofcial twomonth anniversary of San Joses most recent win. That game against the D.C. United appeared to be a positive turning point for the Quakes when Steven Lenhart beat the United defense three times en route to the fth hat trick in club history and a 4-2 win for the club. With Chris Wondolowski taking care of some U.S. National team business and San Jose stretching their unbeaten streak to six games, it looked like the Quakes were primed to make a serious run in the Western Conference standings. Oh, it was a turning point alright; but one that has seen the Quakes take a nose dive in the Western standings.

Since that last win, the Earthquakes have not tallied a Major League Soccer win in 11 games, going 0-5-5 in the process and setting a franchise record for longest winless streak. Heading into Saturday nights California Clasico against the West-leading Los Angeles Galaxy, the Quakes are ve points out of a playoff spot with 10 matches left to play. After that win in D.C., San Jose was fourth in the Western Conference standings. Now, they sit in eighth, seven points ahead of last place (and expansion) Vancouver. On June 11, San Jose had one of the highest scoring offenses in the league, with a goal differential of plus-4. Since then, opponents have outscored the Quakes 16-6 and that number has dropped to minus-6. San Jose has been blanked seven times during this stretch only Vancouver, New England and Toronto have found the net less than the Earthquakes. If it seems frustrating, its because it is, not just for the fans, but for the successful mid-major school through 2021. Bennett begins his 11th season guiding the Gaels, who in recent years have established themselves among the top two teams in the West Coast Conference along with Gonzaga. Bennett has gone 208-112 at Saint Marys and developed his program into

coaches as well as it seems the entire soccer universe is conspiring against San Jose. Injuries have ravaged the team (see: Simon Dawkins, Alan Gordon, Steven Lenhart [personal issues]), theres been a slew of new faces making the chemistry less-than-stellar (see: Nana Attakora, Jacob Peterson, Rafael Baca) and even the referees appear to have it out against San Jose twice making horrendous calls that have changed the outcomes of crucial games. Manager Frank Yallops comments after their 2-1 loss to the Rapids: Its ridiculous. Were just getting screwed all the time. Im not happy about it. It ruined the [expletive] game ... Im sick of standing here, trying to explain it, when its out of my hands a perennial contender thanks in large part to the recruiting of Australian stars. In 2010, the Gaels reached the NCAA tournament regional seminals, losing to Baylor. After that, there was speculation Bennett might bolt for a bigger program such as a thenPac-10 school. Instead, he has been happy to stay whats going on. We did well enough to win the game. The referee decided differently, and here we are. Im trying to explain a loss which shouldnt be. To San Joses credit, they have not sat pat and thrown in the towel just yet. With MLS chaging their playoff format in 2011 and 10 teams making the playoffs (top-3 nishers in each division plus four wild-card teams), San Jose feels like they still have a chance. MLS is notorious for teams making late-surges at the end of the regular season to secure a spot in the playoffs, most recently in 2009 with Real Salt Lake and last season with the Seattle Sounders. So is something like 17 or 18 points in the last 10 game improbable? Sure. But impossible? No. put in the close-knit campus community in San Franciscos East Bay suburbs. Weve had great players and assistant coaches who have put a lot of effort into building the program to a level where we can maintain success and continue to build on it, Bennett said. We have great student-athletes, a supportive administration and enthusi-

But that will almost surely depend on the offense, which has averaged half-a-goal in this winless stretch. With Lenhart and Gordon out, the Quakes have brought in Ecuadorian international Edmundo Zura on loan from Quito-based El Nacional Zura scored four goals and had one assist in 15 appearances this year. The move smells of desperation for San Jose, but with their playoff hopes if it smells like it, it probably is. The Quakes made a similar international move last year when they brought in Geovanni and while the Brazilian didnt produce the numbers everyone expected, San Jose played well enough down the stretch (6-4-2) to capture the leagues nal playoff spot and rode that all the way to the Eastern Conference nals. But rst they must deal with a Galaxy team who just acquired an international of their own, Irish National team striker Robbie Keane. The Quakes are 4-15-3 all-time against Los Angeles away from home. astic student and community support for our program. My family and I enjoy being at Saint Marys and living in such a supportive and positive community. Bennett has turned the program around since arriving in 2001 and taking over a team that went 2-27 the previous season.

Boise State ready to be party crashers

By Tim Booth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOISE, Idaho Stepping inside the Boise State locker room during the summer months is a reminder that the Broncos are still just an infant program 15 years removed from playing at a lower level of college football, no matter the recognition or rankings they receive. Its a sticky sauna on this 90degree Idaho afternoon. Industrial fans wail on their highest settings while trying to provide some relief since no one had the foresight to make sure the air conditioning that cools other parts of the athletic complex made its way to the main secSAT SUN

tion of the football locker room. We play big-time football. We may not have the amenities and all that but well get there, wide receiver Tyler Shoemaker said. Gaining legitimacy has been an incremental process for Boise State that takes another step this season as the Broncos move from the weaker Western Athletic Conference into the Mountain West. Its not the same Mountain West that Boise State expected to join, though, with Utah going to the Pac-12, BYU choosing independence and TCU headed for the Big East in 2012. Even with whats considered a step up in competition, the position the Broncos hold is the same: favorites and

potential Bowl Championship Series busters yet again with a national debate swirling about their worthiness. Much will be made of the Broncos season opener, for the third straight year a pseudo BCS elimination game. After beating Oregon at home to open the 2009 season and dispatching Virginia Tech in last years opener, the Broncos face Georgia in Atlanta on Sept. 3. Win, and the conversation will revert to the usual refrain: Is Boise State worthy of a BCS bowl and perhaps a title shot? Lose and it becomes a moot point. The Broncos are accustomed to this debate by now. Its followed them essentially non-stop for the past two

seasons when Boise State went a combined 26-1, the only hiccup a memorable 34-31 overtime loss to Nevada on a cold November night in Reno that likely spoiled a Rose Bowl trip. Its keeping that perspective all the time. Not getting too high, not getting too low. Youre constantly wanting to stay positive. I think thats a big thing that we always are positive and just enjoy the experience, Boise States Heisman nalist quarterback Kellen Moore said. Guys did a great job where there are these expectations, the outside noise, not to worry about that stuff, that stuff doesnt affect us, its not beneting us in any way. Its not affecting how we deal with the work we have to do.

Moore again is at the helm, going into his senior season with a chance to re-write the most important record in football: wins. Hell have a shot for at least 12 more and probably 13. He needs only eight to pass Colt McCoys record of 45 as the most successful quarterback in college history. If Moore is successful, hell prove naysayers wrong in the process, those who believe his success was tied to a pair of NFL-caliber receivers in Titus Young and Austin Pettis, both now in the pros. But hell need steady veterans like Shoemaker and Chris Potter to raise their production and young prospects Geraldo Boledwijn, Aaron Burks and Moores brother, Kirby, to quickly develop.

enforcement, said Wednesday that last weeks presidential discussion included talk about more suspensions for coaches and more postseason bans for teams. Emmert believes the board of directors may also adopt proposals within months that give NCAA investigators more latitude to get information from third-party associates, such as boosters and agents. While Spanier said there was solidarity among the presidents during last weeks retreat, some of the most outspoken proponents of tougher sanctions came from schools already under the NCAA microscope. We have got to get a handle on this and the presidents are absolutely determined, even the presidents of institutions that have had problems, he said. When asked about Shalalas input, Spanier said: She was in the meeting and she has been an incredible champion of getting this right. Does that include using the death penalty? Said Emmert: I think theres a difference between conventional wisdom thats been around for almost 30 years now and what we need to do for appropriate deterrence.

Sports brief
Prosecutors: Clemens should face second trial
WASHINGTON Prosecutors in the Roger Clemens perjury case said Friday they had made an honest mistake in showing jurors inadmissible evidence and that shouldnt save the baseball star from facing a new trial. The prosecutors led arguments disputing Clemensposition that a second trial would violate his constitutional protection against double jeopardy by making him face the same charges twice. Clemens had argued the showing of the evidence was a deliberate ploy to invoke a mistrial because the prosecutors case was going badly. But the prosecutors say their case remains strong and Clemens wants to gain an unwarranted windfall from this inadvertent error. The prosecutors said it was an oversight when they showed jurors a video clip that mentioned that Clemens teammate told his wife that Clemens admitted using performance-enhancing drugs evidence the judge had ruled inadmissible.

Miami President Donna Shalala, the Health and Human Services Secretary during the Clinton administration, standing next to Shapiro. According to Shapiros timeline, the infractions began when Paul Dee, a former NCAAs infractions committee chairman, was the schools athletic director. While Emmert offered support for Shalala, he declined to comment on Dee. Shes been a terric leader in higher education, and I have great respect for her, Emmert said. I can only imagine how much shes struggling with this, like I would have if this had happened on my watch. The scope of the allegations has already created widespread debate over bringing back the death penalty, which has been used only once when the NCAA canceled SMUs 1987 football season because of a pay-for play scandal. The school decided not to play in 1988, either, as

it tried to recover. Schools with two major infractions cases during a ve-year period are eligible for the sanction, though the NCAA says the timeframe can be expanded if it determines there was a willful intent to break the rules. What happened at SMU has made the NCAA hesitant to use its toughest penalty again. The Mustangs posted only one winning record over the next 20 years, didnt reach another bowl game until 2009 and the sanction is believed to have played a part in the breakup and eventual dissolution of the Southwest Conference. Today, the implications could be even worse. In an era when conferences have so many tieins to bowl games, along with lucrative television contracts, all the schools in a league could lose revenue. NCAA presidents are weary of the stream of scandals. At last weeks retreat, Penn State President Graham Spanier said university leaders had reached a boiling point only to see the Miami case jump into the headlines a few days later.

Libya rebels close in on Gadhafi,seizing key town

Around the world

Suicide bomber kills 48 in Pakistan mosque
PESHAWAR, Pakistan A suicide bomber struck worshippers during prayers Friday at a mosque close to the Afghan border, killing 48 people in an attack one ofcial said may have been aimed at anti-Taliban elders praying during the holy month of Ramadan. Militants have frequently attacked tribesmen who have dared speak up or raise arms against them in the border region, where al-Qaida and the Pakistan Taliban have long held sway. Rifts between insurgent factions have also led to mass casualty attacks there. Pakistan has lost more than 35,000 people in militant violence since 2007, with mosques, markets and hotels all targeted.

ZAWIYA, Libya Rebels closed in on Moammar Gadha Friday, pushing back his ghters in a erce battle in one key coastal city and seizing another town as they advanced toward his remaining bastion, the capital of Tripoli. The territory remaining under Gadhas control has been shrinking dramatically in the past three weeks, with opposition ghters moving closer to Tripoli, a metropolis of 2 million people, from the west, south and east. At the nearest point, rebel ghters are just 30 miles (50 kilometers) west of Tripoli, in the coastal city of Zawiya, where battles raged Friday over control of the city center. Gadhas forces pounded rebel-held areas of the city with rockets, mortars and anti-aircraft re, but by nightfall were pushed out of a multistory hotel on the square. NATOs bombing campaign has made it difcult for the regime to send massive reinforcements to Zawiya, enabling the rebels to maintain a hold over much of the city, their biggest prize in months. But Fridays onslaught by regime forces also signaled that an opposition push toward Tripoli could be arduous and bloody. The massive re at one point pinned down some two dozen rebel ghters behind a building about 200 yards (meters) from Zawiyas central square, a symbolic prize in the battle for control of the city of

Taliban storm British compound in Kabul; 8 dead

KABUL, Afghanistan Taliban suicide bombers stormed a British compound in an upscale Kabul neighborhood shortly after dawn Friday, killing eight people during an eight-hour reght as two English language teachers and their bodyguard hid in a locked panic room. The assault came on the 92nd anniversary of Afghanistans independence from Britain, and the Taliban described it as a warning to outsiders in the nearly decade-long war.

some 200,000 people. The area was deserted, with building facades blackened and scarred by bullet holes. The men took a break for Muslim noon prayers, washing their hands and feet with water from plastic bottles, then kneeling on carpets under an olive tree. The group was commanded by Rida Shaeb, a 47-year-old electrician who wore his workmans blue coveralls to the front line. We are here to ght, said Shaeb. We are not going back, even if we die. East of the capital, rebels seized the city of Zlitan after clashes with regime forces that left 31 rebels dead and 120 injured, a spokesman said. Zlitan had been a major obstacle in the rebels push toward Tripoli from the east. The ghters have liberated Zlitan and they are ghting west of the city, said Munir Ramzi of the opposition Misrata Military Council.

Film adds smell with Aroma-Scope

By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Robert Rodriguez deliberately tried to make his latest Spy Kids adventure a bit of a stinker. Rodriguez, who helped usher in the new age of 3-D movies with the franchises third installment in 2003, is billing Spy Kids: All the Time in the World as a 4-D ick, adding scent cards so audiences can follow along on the action with their noses. Heres how it works: Viewers are given scratch-and-sniff cards with circles numbered 1 to 8. When a number appears on screen, they rub the corresponding circle on their cards, Mutt Strutt

which give off a whiff matching what the characters are smelling. Rodriguez calls his gimmick AromaScope. He tried it out at test screenings and found that children and parents had a good time with it. When it came time to do Spy Kids 4, I couldnt just go back and do 3-D like everybody else is now. I had to bring something extra, Rodriguez said. Just watching my own kids with interactive gaming, you ask them to watch a movie, it just feels so passive to them. I thought, this helps bridge the gap. Its an interactive thing, almost like playing a game while youre watching the movie.

Wherever Wendy Wasserstein went, women came up to her and wanted to talk about her struggles to nd a meaningful balance of work, love and family all the while being thin. In plays like the Pulitzer- and Tony-winning The Heidi Chronicles and her autobiographical essays, Wa s s e r s t e i n unerringly tapped into the innermost yearnings of baby boomer women. She created a persona so warm and endearing the Yiddish word is haimish that strangers thought of her as a sister, daughter or friend. Now, in the rst major biography of the playwright since she died of cancer in 2006 at age 55, veteran journalist Julie Salamon presents a thorough and engaging account of a complex, driven woman who was a ercely loyal friend yet manipulative and selsh; seemed like an open book but hid her deepest sorrows; satirized the nouveau riche but relished the perks of success. Salamon begins in Brooklyn, where Wasserstein grew up, the youngest of ve children of upwardly striving immigrant Jews. Her mother was a key gure, needling the chubby girl incessantly about her weight and other perceived shortcomings, yet shamelessly bragging about her childrens accomplishments and teaching them, by example, to bury the things that caused pain or shame. Wassersteins talent was evident from an early age, but she was not a stellar student. Tormented by self-doubt, she struggled to nd an identity in her competitive family whose best-known member after Wendy was probably Bruce, the legendary nancier who died at 61, just three years after his baby sister. It wasnt until Wasserstein started taking drama classes at Mount Holyoke College and later, The City College of New York and the Yale School of Drama, that she realized the theater could be an outlet for her burgeoning ambition. She used her own life as material, capitalizing on a pitch-perfect memory for dialogue and a sharp eye for detail. Later, when her plays started being produced, friends would see them and feel as though she had plagiarized their lives.

Five most needless remakes

The Women(2008):
George Cukors 1939 cat ght, based on the play by Clare Boothe Luce, was intended as a satire of society mavens and their frivolous lives. In directing for the rst time and writing the script, Murphy Brown creator Diane English made it a celebration. Sure, it had an all-female cast of solid actresses (Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Cloris Leachman), as did the original, though perhaps not quite the stellar collection that included Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford and Rosalind Russell. Cukors tone and timing were missing; English applied all the lighthearted instincts of her sitcom background and seemingly none of the insights of the source material. LOS ANGELES This is one of those weeks is which ve choices arent nearly enough. Were talking about unnecessary remakes, which pretty much means ... all of them. Rare is the remake that actually improves on the original this years The Mechanic with Jason Statham springs to mind. But the original versions of Assault on Precinct 13 or The Longest Yard or The Taking of Pelham 123, for example, were just ne on their own, and in their own time. With this week bringing new versions of Conan the Barbarian and Fright Night, were going to focus on movies that never should have been touched. Stop me if you think youve heard this one before:

Film lineup: Sequels and remakes

The Invasion(2007):
Thereve been many versions of the sci- classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but this one had the least bite. Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig and Jeffrey Wright went to waste as a few of the last citizens who managed to remain uninfected when a gloopy substance from outer space took over the population, turning people into emotionless drone versions of themselves. The whole point of this story has always been to serve as a reection of its times, whether its making a statement about McCarthyism (1956) or Vietnam and Watergate (1978). This time, there were passing TV news references to the war in Iraq and North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, but the lms political ideology felt tossed-in and half-baked. Worst of all, it wasnt the slightest bit scary or suspenseful.

LOS ANGELES Brad Pitt reinvents baseball, while Kristen Stewart acquires a taste for blood. George Clooney runs for president, while Meryl Streep impersonates Margaret Thatcher. Leonardo DiCaprio puts America under surveillance, while Robert Downey Jr. faces a criminal mastermind. Variety abounds in Hollywoods fall and holiday seasons as studios pack the schedule with Oscar hopefuls, action icks, comedy and musicthemed tales, as well as a family lineup that brings the return of the Muppets, dancing penguins, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and Puss in Boots. Downeys back in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows as the great detective and his ally Watson (Jude Law) meet archenemy Professor Moriarty. Clooney directs and stars as a White House aspirant in The Ides of March, with Ryan Gosling as an aide who stumbles onto disturbing campaign secrets. Stewart reunites with vampire lover Robert Pattinson and werewolf pal Taylor Lautner in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, the next-to-last chapter in their supernatural saga. Split into two movies, the nal book in Stephenie Meyers series holds major life changes for Stewarts Bella, which we wont divulge here for sake of the handful of fans who havent read it. For those who have, director Bill Condon says the cliffhanger that concludes part one is a no-brainer. The clue lies in the book, Condon

said. I would say that if you know the book well, I think youll have a good sense of where the rst movie will end. The season also brings two lms directed by Steven Spielberg, the globe-trotting story The Adventures of Tintin and the World War I saga War Horse; Martin Scorseses 3-D family lm Hugo, about an orphan boy who lives in the walls of a Paris train station; Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, with Tom Cruises elite team going rogue after an attack on the Kremlin; the comedy Jack and Jill, with Adam Sandler in dual roles as a family guy and his pesky sister; and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, an adaptation of the Swedish best-seller starring Daniel Craig as a journalist aided on an investigation by a deeply troubled computer genius (Rooney Mara). Real people provide intriguing stories as Streep seeks to add to her record 16 Oscar acting nominations, playing the British prime minister in The Iron Lady; Pitt takes over the Oakland As front ofce as pioneering baseball strategist Billy Beane in Moneyball; and DiCaprio takes on the sweeping life of FBI boss J. Edgar Hoover in J. Edgar, directed by Clint Eastwood. The lm spans decades, covering the bureaus successes taking down gangsters in the 1930s, Hoovers paranoia about communists and civilrights leaders, and questions about his sexual preferences. He was surrounded in mystery. Id always heard a lot about rumors of his sexuality, the cross-dressing, but more than that, the man had absolute power

when it came to forming the bureau of investigation and its inuence over the government, DiCaprio said. He was pretty much a historical gure that wasnt to be messed with. In Moneyball, Pitts Beane takes over the As and builds one of baseballs most cost-effective teams through sabermetrics, a statistical analysis that broke with conventional Major League scouting by identifying undervalued players. Its tough, tough material in a sense of how do you make a dramatic lm out of sabermetrics? But there is a story of going up against a system, Pitt said. If we hadnt been doing it this way for so long, is this the way wed begin if we were starting today? Like our use of oil. You could ask the same question if the automobile was being invented today. Would we really be going oil? Hollywood is giving a fresh start to familiar titles and characters. Among them: the animated sequel Happy Feet Two, with Elijah Woods tapdancing penguin coping with fatherhood issues; Puss in Boots, an animated Shrek spinoff chronicling the early adventures of Antonio Banderas gutsy cat; The Muppets, the rst bigscreen outing in more than a decade for the beloved puppet gang; Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked!, with the talking rodents stranded on a remote island; The Thing, a prequel to the 1982 horror tale about Antarctic researchers terrorized by an organism that replicates human forms; and Footloose, with newcomer Kenny Wormald as a youth rebelling against a towns ban on dancing.

Psycho(1998):
Pretty much no one should go near Alfred Hitchcock, ever. But if youre daring enough to try, you should avoid doing a shot-by-shot remake of what is probably the masters bestknown lm. Still, youve got to admire Gus Van Sants chutzpah. He shot it in color thats different and added a few slight tweaks. Vince Vaughn plays the iconic Anthony Perkins role of Norman Bates and Anne Heche lls in for Janet Leigh as Marion Crane. But other than that, its the same characters, same dialogue, same camera angles, even the same Bernard Hermann score from 1960. Its an intriguing exercise but, ultimately, a noble failure.

City of Angels(1998):
Wim Wenders Wings of Desire (1987) is a modern classic, and it featured one of the greatest performances by the late Peter Falk. Melancholy, thoughtful and visually arresting, it followed unseen angels who watched over Berlin, observing peoples actions, listening to their thoughts, quietly shaping their lives. City of Angels, by comparison, was too obvious it spelled everything out, its emotions were too tidy. Brad Silberling turned this subtle story into a simple romantic comedy starring Nicolas Cage (as an angel) and Meg Ryan (as a heart surgeon), two actors who make absolutely no sense together.

The Karate Kid(2010):

This is admittedly a personal, nostalgic choice. But for anyone who grew up in the 80s, The Karate Kid inspires a deep fondness. Harold Zwarts version maintained the basic structure and even some key details, like the sweep-the-leg moment in the nale. It moved the setting from Los Angeles to Beijing, thats no big deal. The main problem was the casting of Jaden Smith, who was several years younger than Ralph Macchio was and looks even younger. And so neither the ghting nor the romance with a girl whos out of his league two key components of The Karate Kid made sense.

The owner of Joseph Welch San Bruno American Antique Museum, the largest collection in the world as he often referred to it. In a 2007 interview with the Daily Journal, Welch described himself as a junk man. His ofce had walls full of boxed autographed footballs, football helmets, boxing gloves, walking canes and gavels. Theres so much junk around here, he said at the time. Most people think its junk, but its my treasures. The largest of all his collections contains slot machines of all makes and models.

On Aug. 11 of that year, Longorio was returning to the Maguire Correctional Facility in Redwood City from the South San Francisco courthouse where he had a preliminary hearing for the robbery case. Longorio was seated inside a Sheriffs Ofce transportation van, facing the back doors. There is no handle inside the vehicle but Longorio managed to undo the back panel and ip the doors locking mechanism.

Welch began collecting the one-armed bandits about 40 years ago. He decided to sell off his 20-car collection since rent to house the cars was steep. He kept a big Rolls-Royce then bought his rst slot machine for $10. I knew a little about them and they intrigued me, he said. It was the rst step in what would be, as he proclaimed it, the largest collection of the machines. Much of it was housed in his San Bruno ofce.

Ofcers nabbed him minutes later approximately 1,000 feet away from the jail on Bradford Avenue in the area of Brewster Avenue and Marshall Street. Deputies later discovered an industrial-like razor blade in the vans back seat and believe Longorio may have used it as a screwdriver to undo the back panel. Longorio opted to serve as his own attorney although a lawyer from the private defender panel was appointed on a stand-by basis. Prior to opening statements, Longorio asked that his entire statement to police be admitted even though it included references to his time served at Pelican Bay and Corcoran prisons. every night. Once armed with the knowledge of what to eat and how to pull it together, getting the most out of every grocery dollar requires a system. But that doesnt mean you have to resort to building up a case full of coupons. If you dont have the basic concepts down, coupons are not going to help you, said Hancock. Instead of focusing on clipping and organizing coupons, put your time into planning, said Steve Economides, who with his wife, Annette, operates the website AmericasCheapestFamily.com, and last fall wrote the book, Cut Your (Joel McHale), but her step-kids (Rowan Blanchard and Mason Cook) wind up pressed into the action, aided by the now grown-up original spy kids (Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara) from the rst three movies. The smells from the scratch-and-sniff cards are mostly pleasant. However, with a bit of raunchy humor, including gags about a spy babys diapers, viewers should expect at least one off odor. Originally, we didnt have any really rancid smells, but kids wanted something really stinky in there, Rodriguez said. It really doesnt smell that bad. No ones going to get sick in the theater.

Longorio testied on his own behalf, telling jurors he was not the robber and at the most guilty of possessing stolen property. He claimed police told him exactly what to say during the taped confession.

Filmmakers began trying gimmicks to hang onto audiences as television eroded movie attendance in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

One Dayfeels much longer

By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Maybe it was all more resonant, more poignant on the page: the many highs and lows and major life shifts that occur during the decades-spanning friendship/romance between Emma and Dexter in One Day. But here they feel so cursory and rushed, its as if were watching a filmed version of the CliffsNotes of David Nicholls best-seller. Nicholls himself adapted his novel into the screenplay, and the amount of material he tries to cram in suggests he didnt know how or when to let go of his baby. Its a handsome misfire, though, with its tasteful production design and impeccable costumes all very British, all very safe. And its all the more curious coming from Danish director Lone Scherfig, whose last film was the excellent An Education (2009), which was nominated for three Academy Awards including best picture. That film had a piercing insight about it, a startling honesty beneath its glamorous exterior. Nothing of the sort is to be found here. The central conceit is this: Em (Anne Hathaway) and Dex (Jim Sturgess) meet after a long night of post-college graduation partying on July 15, 1988. Shes self-consciously middle-class, hes breezily posh. They jump into bed but decide to remain just friends but we all know where thats headed. One Day keeps coming back to that one day, year after year, and checks in with them as they date other people, forge careers, share awkward dinners and basically wait around until the eventual July 15 when theyll be together. Hathaway is doing her jittery, frustrated comic shtick as an aspiring writer, but under the weight of an intermittent British accent, it feels distractingly actorly. The frequently shirtless Sturgess, meanwhile, plays a brash television personality with a coke problem, which is shorthand to suggest that hes vapid. Because everyone on television is vapid. The fact that they are destined for each other feels like a drudging inevitability, rather than a union that were looking for-

More F-bombs dropping in PG-13 movies

One Daykeeps coming back to that one day,year after year,and checks in with them as they date other people, forge careers, share awkward dinners and basically wait around until the eventual July 15 when theyll be together.
ward to witnessing because the potential of it has provided such tension. The July 15ths play like dry shortcuts to catch us up on whats happened all year: He has a new girlfriend; she has a new haircut, etc. (Although Hathaway is quite fetching during her Audrey Hepburn phase in Paris in 2003.) And playing pop songs that were popular in each of those years comes off as a lazy attempt at establishing a sense of time and place. Big, weighty moments are thrust before us and these should be serious hanky moments but since the emotional groundwork hasnt been laid for them, were not moved. Were just not there with them yet. Emma and Dexter feel more like ideas or types, rather than fleshed-out characters, and the supporting players who supposedly function in pivotal roles for them barely register, too. They include Patricia Clarkson as Dexters upper-class mother and Romola Garai as his first wife. More crucially, though, Hathaway and Sturgess lack the chemistry to make us yearn to see them together. Theyre all wrong for each other physically, tonally, logically, which only makes One Day feel a whole lot longer. One Day, a Focus Features release, is rated PG-13 for sexual content, partial nudity, language, some violence and substance abuse. Running time: 104 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

LOS ANGELES Those extra expletives youre hearing at the multiplex these days arent just echoes. PG-13 movies, ofcially allowed one nonsexual F-word per script, are making increased use of that allotment and more as lmmakers work the rules in a world where R-rated comedies full of both male and female trash talk have become a summertime staple. Recent PG-13 examples include F-bomb reactions to Ryan Goslings abs in Crazy Stupid Love, Bryan Cranstons boorish behavior in Larry Crowne and those rampaging robots in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Filmmakers are certainly using it more often, taking advantage of it, says Joan Graves, head of the Motion Picture Association of Americas Classication and Rating Administration. Using the F-word outside of the R-rated world certainly isnt a new phenomenon. In fact, prior to the adoption of the PG-13 rating in 1984, the F-word would periodically pop up in PG movies. Even after the creation of the PG-13 rating, movies like Big and Beetlejuice sneaked in the F-word and still secured a PG rating. Those days are gone, but the expletive isnt now uttered outside the province of the Rrating nearly as often as Hollywood does sequels. Making a PG-13 movie, its always a pickand-choose battle of where do you want to use one because, often with improvisation, a couple of F-words will creep into the movie, says Crazy Stupid Love screenwriter Dan Fogelman. So you want to pick the best one, the most appropriate one. Actually, as watchers of The Social Network and The Tourist can attest, PG-13 movies occasionally have more than one Fword.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
For Bordaverri, its all about offering fresh, healthy products at a reasonable price. He works with local farmers to include whats tasty today into the same days menu. Menus also change based on location as one city may be a fan of soups while another event calls for something like pizza. Hes passionate about eating healthy and notes his prices make those choices available. Im passionate about food. Its not about what people think. Its about what I do when given the responsibility, he said. Selling a salad with baby greens, roasted beets, vine-ripe tomatoes, shaved fennel, Medina Farm strawberries, Manchego and citrus vinaigrette for $6.50 does have its drawbacks though. Lowering the price means not making as much prot per salad. But Bordaverri sees it as his responsibility as a chef to offer truly healthy dishes at affordable prices. Ultimately thats a conscious decision for Bordaverri who loves the food world hes created for himself which allows him total control over expression. And where that one truck on wheels will take Bordaverri is unknown. For Curry Up Now, one of the rst trucks on the San Mateo County scene, one truck was the start of what is now a multi-truck business and a restaurant in downtown San Mateo. Owner Akash Kapoor sees it as the start of a larger growth plan. The process can be time consuming. Redwood City resident Paulette Elliott, one of the owners of Ciao Bella, knows all about the long process. On Wednesday, her restaurant, which is inside a trailer, was getting the nal approval. Starting the business has taken about a year. First there was nding a concept, then a truck (or in this case a trailer) a distinctive difference that Elliott liked. She settled on a 20-foot trailer which was ordered from Arkansas and outtted to look like a cable car. With about a 4-foot deck at the end, the trailer restaurant also has lots of windows. I like going to restaurants where you can see the food being prepared, said Elliott, who brought that same feel to her business which Theres no standard Indian food, explained Akash Kapoor, who added many options are also unhealthy and/or not very good. They set out to change that with a smaller menu with a few staples and other rotating items. Though an established, accepted and loved local business now, Curry Up Now initially created concerns. Rana and Akash Kapoor of Hillsborough opened the Indian food-based business in September 2009. It was a change in profession for the couple who previously worked in the mortgage business for 10 years. Noting the Southern California trend of mobile food trucks, they decided to bring tasty Indian comfort food to local patrons. At its start, the truck rufed feathers in Burlingame with some lauding its cuisine and prices while others thought it stole business from established locations. The city even conducted a 306-person online survey on the topic. Such chatter has since subsided and the business has grown to three trucks. At one time it was four, but that was pulled back. On tax day this year, Curry Up Now opened doors at 129 S. B St. in San Mateo. All the dates are something easily remembered, like tax day, a fathers birthday, something significant, Kapoor explained. Were not trendsetters. Were following will feature Italian and British food. Its been a learning process for Elliott. Building a mobile business required different types of insurance. Since the trailer needs to be attached to a vehicle, the vehicle also needs insurance. The type of refrigerator Elliott originally had needed to be replaced to include a fan. After getting approved, Elliott still had lots to do. She needs to chat with each city in which shed like to work and learn the rules. Cities have different regulations about food trucks parking and for how long they can remain in one location. Despite the work, shes excited to get started and hopes to be a regular on the local scene soon.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Southern California, he said, noting others have gone from a truck-based business to a physical location. The trick is the two run differently. Patrons at a truck want food quickly while those going to a restaurant often want to linger and chat. The restaurant could soon serve alcohol and offer live music on the weekend, another new challenge. But the successful transition hasnt gone unnoticed as others ask Kapoor questions about his business many times per week hoping to gain insight. Whether new or established and still growing, the one thing these businesses have in common is demanding hours for those in charge. Eighteen- to 20 hour-days are worthwhile for one reason to see something grow, said Kapoor. And, of course, the love of food. Getting a quick bite doesnt mean you need to drive around aimlessly. This movement has a tech-savvy element by using Twitter and Facebook as the means to reach hungry patrons. Making requests online can help determine new locations. Downtown San Mateo features a Monday night dinner and San Carlos has Wednesday lunch gatherings at the Hiller Aviation Museum offering of a rotating collection of these mobile restaurants. And, of course, online reviews are helping patrons decide where to spend the $5 to $10. For the Environmental Health Department, the demand for checking mobile vehicles has risen 10 percent in the last year, said Director of Environmental Health Dean Peterson. Registrations are updated annually in February. Those who get a permit mid-year are given a prorated cost. Physical inspections occur at least once a year. Random checks, which the department often does in restaurants, are the big challenge. Mobile trucks arent exactly in one place at any given time making seeing the truck in action tricky. Planned events with a number of food trucks often offers an opportunity to get a rst look and watch employees in action, said Peterson.

TRUCKS
Continued from page 1
Peterson. Trucks that sell food produced elsewhere like ice cream or cupcakes need a different permit. Bordaverri, who opened in May, is one of the most recent to join the ever-growing eet. For many, growing a following is the rst step to having a brick and mortar location. But it all starts with limited space on four wheels and working feverishly during lunch and dinner shifts. Although Bordaverri has years of experience in restaurants, there was still a learning curve when it came to getting started. The truck requires a variety of insurance, multiple business permits due to its mobile nature, and its difcult to nd employees willing to work three hours a day at ever-changing locations. Only a few months into the process, a healthy line formed for lunch with people eager to try salads made with seasonal ingredients, tasty panna cotta with fruit toppings or one of the handmade empanadas a recipe Bordaverri brought here from Argentina, where he grew up. People think eating healthy is expensive. But it can be affordable if you take the time to interact, he said.

HEALTH
Continued from page 1
County Environmental Health Department. Requirements are different for trucks in which food is prepared like a taco truck compared to one from which food is simply served, like an ice cream truck. Those that are prepped to prepare and serve food must meet multiple requirements similar to a restaurant. For example, there needs to be hot water at a certain temperature, a commercial refrigerator with a fan is required and re sprinklers must be installed.

SATURDAY, AUG. 20, 2011

In the coming months, youll be able to ably handle all involvements or endeavors that deal directly with the public. This gift will produce many advances and much growth of income.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont deliberately seek out

challenging developments, but if you should encounter any, dont let them intimidate you either. Just remember how well you work under pressure. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Anything that displeases you can be turned into a pleasurable experience if you have the mindset to make it so. You should just

try not to take yourself or life too seriously. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Instead of moaning and groaning over your lack of funds and not being able to do anything, take some time to search out ways to secure a second source of earning. Itll pay off. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If your mate or companion has a better way of doing something, you should back off a bit and play a supportive role. You dont always have to be the one in charge. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- In order to perform at your best, you must first be enthusiastic about whatever it is that you are undertaking to do. If this one element is lacking, your efforts will reflect it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Because youre apt to be in a greatly sociable mood, its important for

you to share your time with those who feel the same. Seek out companions whose smiles and laughter drown out all frowns. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Even if it appears that all the breaks are going to others and not to you, dont let on how you feel. Youd be embarrassed later when it turns out you made out the best. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Your ability to be both a keen observer and a quick learner will enable you to gather valuable information and knowledge that will go right over the heads of others. Dont waste it. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Material conditions look pretty good for you, so use this opportunity to solve a financial problem or to go bargain hunting. In either case you could save yourself some money.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It isnt your nature to fit comfortably into a subordinate position. You might not need to be the boss, but, at the very least, you need to be your own person, doing things your way. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- When everything else seems to be failing you, you are likely to fall back on your own common sense and/or instincts. Youll use a little of both to solve a perplexing problem. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Regardless of how negative the signals appear to be, dont lose hope. If your logic is failing you, then rely on your intuition to help you fulfill your desires and expectations.
