Judge upholds search warrant
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The prominent San Mateo child psychiatrist who garnered national recognition for his controversial sex-education program and treated dozens of minors referred by schools and the justice system will stand trial early next year on allegations he molested some male patients. William Ayres Dr. William Ayres, 76, is accused of abusing seven former patients under the guise of medical examinations. Ayres, who already settled one civil suit by a former patient not included in the criminal case, has pleaded not guilty. Ayres was arrested in April 2007 and has been essentially free from custody on varying amounts of bail since. He returns to court Oct. 14 for a pretrial conference before beginning jury trial Jan. 5, 2009. The dates came after Judge Norman Gatzert issued a 30page opinion upholding the validity of a search warrant that turned up 800 former patient les, some of which led to the

Wanted: Heart for downtown

Belmont meeting to tackle rezoning
By Dana Yates
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Semi-circles of raised sod and dirt were seen on the Mills High School football eld yesterday after a car damaged the newly-placed grass Wednesday night. Millbrae police are searching for the people who drove across the Mills eld sometime before 7:20 a.m. Thursday, said Millbrae police Sgt. John Aronis. The San Mateo Union High School District is offering a yet-to-be-decided
reward amount for help in nding those responsible, said Superintendent David Miller, who added there is already a lead in the case. For someone to do this is incomprehensible to me, said Miller. Its cruel and cowardly to damage property in the middle of the night. Damage puts a damper on the districts plan to revamp the local elds, the effort which began late last year when Miller noticed the dire need to update facilities. The good news is, the setback should not
delay the districts plan of opening the eld for the upcoming school year, said Miller. A security guard will now be hired to watch the site. Police received a call early Thursday morning when someone saw the damage, said Aronis. Workers began pulling up damaged portions and laying new sod Thursday. Ive been a superintendent for 27 years and Ill never understand this kind

Inspiring WALLE

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When the creative minds at Pixar needed help developing realistic movements for the movie WALLE, the Emeryville-based company didnt have to go far to nd a vintage robot. They turned to the San Mateo County Bomb Squad one of only two bomb squads in the nation still using a 15-year-old robot. The namesake of this summers animated blockbuster was crafted with the help of the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce and one very old robot. Most departments have retired the simplistic robot in favor of newer technol-
ogy, but San Mateo County is still waiting on grants to get a better bot. Never has outdated safety equipment yielded such fun results. In 2005, when Pixar was developing WALLE, the company contacted Sgt. Mark Duri of the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce Bomb Squad requesting time with the departments Remotec Mini-Andros robot. They wanted to observe how it moved and functioned, Duri said. I was pretty surprised. I didnt think anyone knew we had this robot, Duri said. Duri shuttled the robot to Pixars Emeryville campus where employees spent

Afterward, Fleetwood Macs Lindsey Buckingham told Billboard.com, I think we were all surprised (Crow) was announcing to the world with such certainty. We have talked about bringing another woman into the scene to kind of give Stevie a sort of foil and shake it up a little bit. (Crow) was certainly a name that has come up. Well have to see.

Rapper DMX pleads not guilty to felony charges

PHOENIX DMX rapped for reporters outside a Phoenix courtroom after pleading not guilty to felony charges of theft and identity theft. Then he plugged his new album. Authorities allege the 37-year-old rapper gave the name Troy Jones and an DMX incorrect Social Security number to a Scottsdale hospital in April to avoid paying $7,500 in medical expenses. Following a hearing on Thursday, DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, rapped: If you ever fall down, get back up. The theft and identity theft charges come after months of trouble for Simmons, who also faces multiple charges of drug possession and cruelty to animals in Maricopa County. He is due in court August 12th for a conference relating to those charges.

A man kicked a gas pump after getting upset that he could not buy cigarettes in Redwood City before 10:43 p.m. Saturday, July 19.
The former San Mateo high school athletic star convicted of murdering an acquaintance at the end of a summer 2002 crime spree wants to replace his court-appointed attorney with a retained lawyer before he is sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. It is a request which, if honored, will likely postpone his imprisonment for many months. Kenneth Earl Watson, 37, will appear in court today to ask that private defender Jeff Boyarsky be relieved so that private attorney Alexandra Carl can represent him at his Aug. 1 sentencing hearing. If Carl is substituted in, prosecutors believe she will request time to review Watsons case for a potential motion for new trial. Carl has little other wiggle room in changing Watsons fate; his conviction for the death of Damon Whitney, 25, plus the special allegation of shooting from a moving vehicles carries a mandatory life without parole term. A judge also found true four prior prison
terms and a previous criminal strike. Short of a new trial, either before sentencing or based on a later appeal, it is the only chance Watson has at avoiding eventual death behind bars. Watsons sentencing has already been postponed Kenneth once in the last week. The Watson hearing set for last week was delayed until Aug. 1 because Whitneys girlfriend wishes to address the court and was unavailable. Watson, testifying on his own behalf during trial, denied any involvement in Whitneys death but a jury deliberated two days before convicting him Feb. 27 of all charges. According to the prosecution, Watson shot Whitney in the driveway of a Millbrae drug associates home only a day after verbally threatening him at gunpoint. He and Whitney ran in the same circles of acquaintances, most of whom used methamphetamine and some who were wanted on their own warrants.
The murder capped a summer of reported crimes by Watson which led to a large-scale manhunt and task force created solely for his capture. On July 4, Watson allegedly broke into a Belmont home and robbed a couple before eeing. Late on July 10, 2002, Whitney was shot inside his own Yukon outside a Millbrae residence on Elder Avenue and prosecutors argued Watson red from a friends Explorer. Prosecutors did not charge Watson with Whitneys murder despite suspicion until November 2005, after he served nearly three years of his prison term on a different charge. Ofcers picked Watson up from prison after Thanksgiving and transported him directly back to San Mateo County to face the murder charge. During trial, Boyarsky argued Watson was not guilty simply because he has a criminal past and committed other crimes that summer. Watson remains in custody on no-bail status.

South City to ban Styrofoam containers

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Hungry patrons aiming to take food to go in South San Francisco will see a new recyclable carrying container at restaurants beginning Oct. 1 after the City Council approved a ban on Styrofoam. Almost exactly one year after approving a voluntary ban on Styrofoam, the South San Francisco City Council unanimously approved the introduction to an all-out ban on non-recyclable packaging Wednesday. From the beginning, the council made no secret of its intentions to pursue a ban but wanted to give business owners a chance to
research and prepare for alternatives. Polystyrene in foam (commonly known as Styrofoam), solid or clear versions of disposable food containers will be banned under the ordinance, according to a staff report by Assistant City Attorney Cynthia Wang. These packages can be distinguished by the symbol No. 6 printed on each item. Businesses which serve customers directly will be affected. Warehouses, factories, wholesalers or companies that package foods are exempt. A take-out fee can be added to the price of items to recover the additional cost. Additionally, businesses will be able to apply
for an exemption upon showing through documentation that, by complying, the business would experience undue hardship and that a suitable alternative is not available. The new rule will take effect on Oct. 1. Enforcement will be complaint-driven to start with a $100 fine for the first citation and $200 for each subsequent violation. South San Francisco is not alone in its efforts. A similar ban took effect in Millbrae Jan. 1. County-operated businesses such as the San Mateo Event Center, the San Mateo Medical Center and government buildings began being required to use recyclable food service ware earlier this month.

delays to his preliminary hearing. Tarquin Craig Thomas, 42, was ordered back to court Aug. 6 to set a new preliminary hearing date but both the defense and prosecutions were chastised for the number of delays. Thomas actually has two cases; the rst involving his foster son for which he is facing five charges of molestation and the new case which includes 49 Tarquin counts of molestation and Thomas possession of obscene material which is trailing behind his initial ve charges. The rst case is set for jury trial Nov. 10 although the two may be consolidated at some point. The latest allegations came to light after a woman cleaning out Tarquins home following his arrest found a computer disk allegedly containing images of three boys who had a mentoring relationship with Thomas and some of the images involved contact with an animal. At the time, the Barclays investment rm employee was already in custody on charges he sexually and physically abused an Oregon foster child he was adopting. After the boy returned to Oregon, Thomas allegedly kept tabs on him through a global tracking device hidden in a framed print of them together and made plans to take the boy with him to the United Kingdom. Thomas remains in custody on no-bail status.
Tuesday opening in sexual predator trial

Opening statements are set for Tuesday in the sexually violent predator extension hearing of a convicted rapist who said he changed his name at the request of the devil. Michael Zasimovitch, 57, who also uses the name Ava Zinlu, has already been re-committed to a state hospital as a sexually violent predator but could be freed for good if found Ava Zinlu to no longer pose a danger. Offenders found to have committed two violent acts and have a mental disorder can be held beyond their sentence if deemed a sexually violent predator. Under a recent change included in Jessicas Law, offenders with such a label can be held indenitely instead of the previous one- or two-year term. Zasimovitch was already a convicted felon in 1978 when he sodomized a 17-year-old boy he met while hitchhiking in Santa Barbara County. He has also been convicted of kidnapping his stepsister, sexually assaulting another inmate and violating parole by refusing to register as a sex offender.

Raymond Deocareza asked for a courtappointed attorney and did not waive his right to a speedy trial. Court Commissioner Stephanie Garratt set bail at $50,000 and ordered Deocareza back to court Aug. 5 for a preliminary hearing with a 90-minute estimate. South San Francisco police say Raymond Deocareza called 911 from his home on 117 Appian Way around 10:30 p.m. but did not respond to dispatchers questions. Police headed to Deocarezas home, where a cell
phone and an 8-inch knife were spotted outside the door. Deocareza then opened the door and made movements with his hand toward his waistband. He allegedly chased an ofcer who had attempted to take cover, removed a black BB gun from his waistband, pointed it at the ofcer and pulled the trigger. Ofcers subdued Deocareza with a Taser gun and police dog before arresting him. After a mental evaluation at the San Mateo Medical Center, Deocareza was booked into the county jail. Deocareza said he was despondent over losing his landscaper job and nancial difculties, according to South San Francisco police. Deocareza has a long list of previous criminal cases dating back at least 15 years, according to court records.

The 35-year-old man, whose name is not being released to protect the two alleged victims, is charged with 15 counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14 and two counts of committing substantial sexual conduct. He has pleaded not guilty. Just prior to opening statements, the trial halted after one of the alleged victims mentioned she kept a diary during the time period in question, according to the District Attorneys Ofce. The case resumes Nov. 10. Beginning in January 2005, according to the District Attorneys Ofce, the man fondled and molested his 11-year-old and 13-year-old nieces on several occasions. The 11-year-old told authorities she was molested while wearing a body brace. The man reportedly told authorities he may have accidentally touched the children during playing and roughhousing but denied any lewd intent.

Obama addresses huge crowd in Berlin

By David Espo and David Rising
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERLIN Cheered by an enormous international crowd, Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama on Thursday summoned Europeans and Americans together to defeat terror and dry up the well of extremism that supports it as surely as they conquered communism a generation ago. Obama said he was speaking as a citizen, not as a president, but the evening was awash in politics as the rst-term U.S. senator sought to burnish his international credentials for the fall campaign at home. His remarks before a crowd estimated at more than 200,000 inevitably invited comparison to historic speeches in the same city by Presidents Kennedy and Reagan. Now a presidential candidate himself, Obama borrowed rhetoric from his own appeals to campaign audiences this year in the likes of Berlin, N.H., as he spoke in one of the great cities of Europe.

world, this is our moment. This is our time, he declared. The walls between old allies on either side of the Atlantic cannot stand, Obama said, speaking not far from where the Berlin Wall once divided the city. The walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot stand. The walls between races and tribes, natives and immigrants, Christians and Muslims and Jews cannot stand, he said. Obamas speech was the centerpiece of a fast-paced tour through Europe designed to reassure skeptical voters in the U.S. about his ability to lead the country and take a frayed cross-Atlantic alliance in a new direction after eight years of the Bush administration.
Secret Service wants more money

By Eileen Sullivan
WASHINGTON The Secret Service has asked for an extra $9.5 million to cover unexpected costs of protecting the presidential candidates during what has turned into an historic year for the agencys campaign security job. Among other things, the extra money would be used for the added costs for the candidates international travel and a late-in-the-game decision by Barack Obama to accept the Democratic nomination at Denvers Invesco Field at Mile High
an open-air, 76,000-seat stadium instead of the 20,000-seat Pepsi Center, which is the site of the partys national convention. Presidential candidates are traveling overseas with Secret Service protection more than ever before. Obama is on a six-day trip to Jordan, Israel, Germany, France and Britain. Before that he was on a three-day congressionally sponsored trip to Afghanistan and Iraq. Republican candidate John McCain has traveled to Canada, Colombia and Mexico under the agencys protection. The 2008 presidential campaign
cycle is the longest in Secret Service history by about ve months. The Secret Service budgeted $106.65 million for the 2008 campaign cycle, compared to $73.3 million in 2004. I thought we had a very, very good plan in place for the campaign, Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan said in an interview with the Associated Press earlier this week. If past history was any type of an indicator, we anticipated picking up protection somewhere in January, February, March of 2008. But the campaigns are different now, Sullivan said.
COLUMBUS, Ohio Republican presidential candidate John McCain had his own German experience Thursday at a restaurant in Ohio. He asserted that he was happy to devote his time this week to touring the nations heartland. Id love to give a speech in Germany. But Id much prefer to do it as president of the United States rather than as a candidate for president, McCain told reporters after a meal of bratwurst with local business leaders at Schmidts Sausage Haus und Restaurant in Columbus German Village neighborhood. As Barack Obama delivered a high-profile speech in Berlin, McCain said he was focusing his attention this week on economic issues, including soaring food and fuel costs. He has been busy campaigning and raising funds in key battleground states like Ohio. In what was clearly not a coincidence, McCain spoke with reporters shortly before Obama began his speech at Berlins Victory Column. At the same time, the Republican National Committee was running anti-Obama ads in Berlin, Pa., and other namesake villages in Wisconsin and New Hampshire. McCain is trying hard to get attention during Obamas week abroad. He had planned to visit an offshore oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday, but rough seas left over from Hurricane Dolly caused him to scrub that trip. On Thursday evening, he shared a stage at the Ohio State University with fellow cancer survivor Lance
Armstrong at a forum that focused on cancer treatment and prevention. Yes, I was in a battle. Not a war; I was in a battle with m e l a n o m a . John McCain And I know how tough that battle can be, McCain said. He is a three-time survivor of melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer. Both McCain and Obama were invited to the non-partisan event. My opponent, of course, is traveling in Europe, McCain said. He said Obama would soon see a scene familiar to seven-time Tour de France winner Armstrong. A throng of adoring fans awaits Sen. Obama in Paris, said McCain.

On Friday, McCain will meet with the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader, in Aspen, Colo.

Jobless claims jump Do dead peoples votes count?

Housing market continues to get weaker
By Jeannine Aversa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Two cornerstones of the economy jobs and housing sank to new depths Thursday, with unemployment claims bolting higher and home prices recording one of their steepest drops on record. The bleak reports underscored the self-reinforcing cycle hampering the economy: As home prices sink, foreclosures rise, banks feel pressure to shy away from lending and employers cut jobs. The Labor Department said the number of newly laid-off people ling for unemployment benets rose to 406,000 last week, a jump of a seasonally adjusted 34,000. The last time jobless claims were higher was after the Gulf Coast hurricanes in 2005. The housing news wasnt any better: As sales of previously owned homes fell in June and a glut of unsold and foreclosed homes on the market, the value of Americans biggest asset continued to sag. The median price for a home sold in June was $215,100, a drop of more than 6 percent from a year earlier and the fth-largest year-to-year price drop on record, the National Association of Realtors said. Sales of previously owned homes fell 2.6 percent, to an annualized rate of 4.86 million. With companies laying off workers and new jobs increasingly hard to nd, the ranks of new homebuyers could shrivel further, spelling even more trouble ahead for the housing market and the economy. Consumer spending, the very lifeblood of the economy, is further in jeopardy. If you dont have a job or are concerned about keeping your job, you are not going to rush out to buy anything let alone a home, said Richard Yamarone, economist at Argus Research. Wall Street sent stocks lower on the housing
and jobs news, plus a record quarterly loss at Ford Motor Co. and sharply lower earnings for Dow Chemical Co. The Dow Jones industrials lost more than 280 points. The economic problems are on the minds of voters and presidential candidates, not to mention Capitol Hill and the White House. The troubles are expected to persist into the next presidential administration. The countrys economic straits are the publics biggest worry by far. Forty-four percent listed the economy as the top concern in a new Associated Press-Ipsos poll, up from 39 percent in April. The White House, while noting that layoff lings can bounce around from week to week, acknowledged the job market needs to be bolstered. The bottom line is that unemployment, while relatively low by historical standards, is still higher than we would like, and we continue to take action to return to strong job creation, said White House press secretary Dana Perino. Congress is nearing completion of a housing bill that President Bush is expected to sign. It aims to help some distressed homeowners avoid foreclosure and to shore up troubled mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Rising mortgage rates are also adding to the headaches. Rates on 30-year mortgages zoomed to 6.63 percent this week, the highest in nearly a year, as worries about ination and the nancial shape of Fannie and Freddie gripped investors. It hasnt spooked all buyers. Seattle ofce manager Connie Kerby, 44, jumped into the market in June, paying $134,000 for a condominium that had been listed nearly $5,000 higher. She was waiting for prices to drop further, but was concerned interest rates are on the way up. She watched rates jump from 5.5 percent to 6.2 percent in the four months she shopped for a home.
If you vote by mail, but die before Election Day, does your vote count? It depends on where you lived. Oregon counts ballots no matter what happens to the voter. So does Florida. But in South Dakota, if you die before the election, so does your vote. Increasingly popular mail-in ballots mean voters can now choose candidates up to 60 days before an election, raising new questions about an age-old phenomenon normally associated with chicanery in places like Chicago: What should be done with the ballots of the recently dead? Laws in at least a dozen states are evenly split between tallying and dumping the votes. No one keeps records on how often such deaths occur. Yet in this years contentious campaign, the right of every American to a counted ballot has become a rallying cry even if the voter dies before the tallying starts. Take the case of Florence Steen, an ailing 88year-old grandmother born before women had the right to vote. One of her last wishes was to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton. She wanted to be part of history, said her daughter Kathy Krause. Steen was conned to a hospice bed in Rapid City, S.D., when she was brought an absentee ballot weeks before the June 3 primary. She studied it a long time, then marked her choice with such determination her daughter feared she would poke through the paper. Steen died on Mothers Day. With a heavy heart, her daughter took the ballot and dropped it in a mailbox. In my mind, her vote counted, Krause said. My mother believed she had voted for a woman to be president. But the women down at the county courthouse told Krause the ballot had to be tossed because state law declared a voter must be alive on Election Day. So Krause passed that word to the Clinton campaign. And Clinton drew great applause
What about the soldiers in Iraq? What if they vote and theyre killed in action,God forbid? Should we take away their vote because they died for their country?
Kathy Krause
when she told the story in her concession speech four days after the South Dakota primary. Its just a goofy law, and it needs to be changed, said Krause, who plans to lobby state legislators to reverse that statute just as soon as her grief eases. What about the soldiers in Iraq? What if they vote and theyre killed in action, God forbid? Should we take away their vote because they died for their country? There are no military standards governing voting by soldiers. Rather, their mailed-in ballots are counted at the individual election districts where they are registered to vote. But like civilian votes, no one keeps track of whether the ballots of soldiers are thrown out because they died after casting them. No one can tell you that, said Susan Dzieduszycka-Suinat, head of the Overseas Voting Foundation in Munich. Every single election jurisdiction can do it the way it wants. And there are more than 7,000 of them. Thirty-one states allow some form of early voting. Ballots cast by the dead are usually the focus of fraud allegations, as happened in Washingtons extremely tight 2004 gubernatorial race, decided by a margin of 129 votes out of 3 million cast. More than a dozen ballots were linked to dead people. But some advocates say legitimate, mail-in votes from people who die before Election Day should be counted, particularly in rural elections, where races can hang on a handful of votes.
Republicans kill effort to release oil from stockpile

By Andrew Taylor
WASHINGTON House Republicans on Thursday scuttled a bill that Democrats hoped would help lower gasoline prices by forcing the Energy Department to release 70 million barrels of oil about a three-day supply from the national stockpile. Democrats promised that the action would have produced immediate relief at the pump, as was the case with similar releases in 1991, 2000 and 2005. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve now holds about 700 million barrels. Despite winning a clear 268-157 majority, the measure still lost. Democratic leaders had brought the proposal up for debate under rules requiring a two-thirds vote to pass. But passing the bill by just a majority would have meant allowing Republicans to force a vote on new offshore drilling leases. Theyre hiding from a vote, said GOP
leader John Boehner of Ohio. Theyre scared to death to allow us to ... force their members to vote on drilling. Democrats said the release from the oil reserve could provide relief at the pump within two weeks, though they would not say how much it would help $4-per-gallon gas. Earlier releases, such as a 34 million barrel drawdown in 1991 during the Persian Gulf War, caused prices to fall. As debate began, the White House threatened a veto. Rather than drawing down a strategic reserve intended to protect our nations energy security from a severe supply disruption, Congress should pass legislation to increase domestic oil supply, the White House said in a statement. Across the Capitol, political squabbling promised to doom a Senate bill that would curb the kind of speculation in the oil markets that many people believe is partly responsible for the increases in oil prices.
Banks step up Fed borrowing,Wall Street passes

WASHINGTON Banks stepped up their borrowing over the past week from the Federal Reserves emergency lending program, while Wall Street rms didnt draw such loans. A Fed report released Thursday said commercial banks averaged $16.4 billion in daily borrowing over the past week. That was up from $13.9 billion in the previous week. Investment houses were given similar loan privileges as commercial banks after a run on Bear Stearns pushed the nations fth-largest investment bank to the brink of bankruptcy. The situation raised fears that other Wall Street rms might be in jeopardy. Bear Stearns was eventually taken over by JPMorgan Chase & Co. in a deal that involved the Feds nancial backing. For the week ending July 23, Wall Street rms didnt borrow from the Feds emergency
Around the nation

facility, the report showed. It marked the second time since the Fed opened its emergency program to investment rms on March 17 that they didnt draw such loans. In the prior week, rms averaged just $9 million in daily borrowing. Such borrowing rose as high as $38.1 billion in early April. The identities of commercial banks and investment houses are not released. Commercial banks and investment companies now pay 2.25 percent in interest for the loans. In the broadest use of the central banks lending power since the 1930s, the Fed in March scrambled to avert a market meltdown by giving investment houses a place to go for emergency overnight loans. Chairman Ben Bernanke said the Fed is considering extending those loan privileges which currently are supposed to last only through midSeptember into next year.

Olympics Report urges passport overhaul bans Iraq

By Davlin Barret
By Brian Murphy
BAGHDAD Just two weeks before the start of the Olympics, Iraq was told Thursday its not welcome in Beijing because of a political feud in Baghdad that angered the games guardians and exiled a country that arrived to a roaring ovation at the opening ceremony four years ago. The International Olympic Committee told Iraqi sports ofcials in a letter that it would uphold its ban imposed in June after the government in Baghdad replaced its national Olympic panel with members not recognized by the IOC. The IOC had called the move unacceptable government interference. In Iraq, it also smacked of the lingering sectarian bitterness between the new Shiite power brokers and the Sunnis who were once favored under Saddam Hussein whose son, Odai, ran the nations Olympic committee as a personal efdom and was accused of torturing athletes who came up short.

Helicopter rescues two Italian climbers in Pakistan
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan A high-altitude rescue helicopter safely plucked two stranded Italian climbers from one of the worlds highest mountains on Thursday, ofcials said. Mountaineers Walter Nones and Simon Kehrer were in good condition after being stranded some 21,600 feet up on Nanga Parbat Mountain, said Rashid Ahmad, a representative of a local tour company that supported the Italians expedition. The men were being transported to the regions main town of Gilgit. As far as my information is concerned, they are in a good condition and they dont need any immediate medical care, Ahmad told the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON The State Department urgently needs to overhaul the way it handles passport applications to avoid a repeat of the massive backlogs last summer that frustrated countless travelers, congressional investigators concluded. They said the department must develop a comprehensive, longterm strategy to meet rising demand for the identity documents. The Associated Press obtained a draft copy Thursday of the report by the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, ahead of its expected release Friday. Lawmakers asked for an investigation into the backlog that swamped passport offices last spring and summer, the result of a record 18 million applications. The 2007 surge in passport demand exposed serious deciencies in States passport issuance process. Passport wait times reached record highs, leading to inconvenience and frustration for many thousands of Americans, the report found. The department needs to rethink its entire end-to-end passport issuance process, including each of the entities involved in issuing a
passport, and develop a formal strategy for prioritizing and implementing improvements to this process, according to the investigators. The need for such a strategy is urgent, they said, because the demand for passports is expected to keep soaring in the coming years. Investigators also recommended creating a a system to track individual passport applications as they are handled. That would make it easier for applicants and government workers to track their progress. Department officials have acknowledged underestimating the high demand for passports last year, but said it was a historic change in behavior by Americans that was not predicted. The report found a number of crucial missteps or misjudgments that led to the passport mess: A department study used to estimate future passport demand failed to account for a large group of likely travelers. When the backup began in early 2007, ofcials did not realize how large it was. They were unaware that many applications were piling up at the ofces of a private contractor handling the initial paperwork. As the typical four-week wait for a passport turned into 12 weeks or more, ofcials could not quickly locate specic applications.
State Department ofcials have acknowledged underestimating the high demand for passports last year, but said it was a historic change in behavior by Americans that was not predicted.
The delays led to long lines at government buildings. Lawmakers held hearings after their ofces were swamped by requests from constituents desperate to make a longplanned family trip or holiday.
Regulators scolded on medically unfit truckers

Girls math skills are measuring up to boys

By Libby Quaid
WASHINGTON House lawmakers scolded federal regulators Thursday for failing to implement recommendations made in 2001 that were designed to keep medically unt commercial truck and bus drivers off the nations highways. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman James Oberstar, D-Minn., told Rose McMurray, the chief safety ofcer for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, that deaths and
injuries caused by medically unt drivers are on your conscience because the agency has taken so long to act. I think if your agency had a safety mission and a safety mind-set it wouldnt have taken you eight years, Oberstar told McMurray at a hearing, demanding that she carry back to your agency his message to get people moving. He said the agencys efforts to fulll the eight recommendations made by the National Transportation Safety Board have been begrudging and painstakingly slow. ... The progress has been just about negligible.
WASHINGTON Sixteen years after Barbie dolls declared, Math class is tough! girls are proving that when it comes to math they are just as tough as boys. In the largest study of its kind, girls measured up to boys in every grade, from second through 11th. The research was released Thursday in the journal Science. Parents and teachers persist in thinking boys are simply better at math, said Janet Hyde, the University of Wisconsin-Madison
researcher who led the study. And girls who grow up believing it wind up avoiding harder math classes. It keeps girls and women out of a lot of careers, particularly highprestige, lucrative careers in science and technology, Hyde said. Thats changing, though slowly. Women are now earning 48 percent of undergraduate college degrees in math; they still lag far behind in physics and engineering. But in primary and secondary school, girls have caught up, with researchers attributing that advance to increasing numbers of girls taking advanced math classes such as calculus.

erate-income families nd more in the market to meet their needs because the former $417,000 cap just didnt work here. It would have been nice if the $7,500 tax credit for rst-time homebuyers would have been a tax rebate instead of a loan that had to be paid back within 15 years. However, that also will be helpful for people in this area. The bill will also provide muchneeded assistance to those facing foreclosure by providing more of an ability to renance. This bill is not perfect. But it is a step in the right direction and an important compromise that actually might keep people in their homes and provide responsible opportunities for those seeking to buy a house. It is just too bad it had to take a major economic crisis and millions losing their homes or facing foreclosure for this oversight and assistance to occur.
Housing bill not perfect,but helpful

an Mateo County has largely skirted the foreclosure debacle better than areas such as Antioch and Vallejo, but that doesnt mean there are not pockets of such situations here. In certain neighborhoods such as North Shoreview San Mateo, vacant houses dot the streets. In addition, many of the homes for sale have owners who are nearing foreclosure and negotiating with the bank to determine how much the lender can stand to lose. One owner bought a house for $750,000 and is looking for bids at around $500,000. Another has a negative amortization loan and is facing the loss of their $54,000 down payment to get out of the loan. This is just one neighborhood in one city. It is not to the scale of other areas in the Bay Area and around this country but there must be plenty of other stories here in

San Mateo County. Some say the people deserve to be in this situation because they made poor decisions and that may or may not be true. What is true is that they are victims of predatory lenders. In addressing the fallout of this near criminal action, the federal government is moving forward with a plan to help. In addition, the bill moving through Congress will place more regulations on Freddie and Fannie Mac in exchange for billions in federal assistance. This is not a gift, the failure of either organization would cause the housing market to grind to a halt. Wall Street and the banking industry as a whole are gun shy on loans right now and the market is largely leaning on Freddie and Fannie. While spending billions of public money may seem less than palatable, it is about time there is some regulations on these two organizations. Other parts of the bill are a result of compromise but should nd a way to help the average person.

The value of a human life

News-Tribune, Jefferson City, Mo.
hats the value of a human life? We do have an answer, courtesy of our national nanny the federal government. A human life is worth $6.9 million. To be more precise, that amount is the statistical value in todays dollars, calculated by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Making matters worse is that your value is decreasing. You are worth nearly $1 million less than your $7.8 million value ve years ago. Before you start feeling seriously undervalued, keep in mind the assessment is for statistical purposes only. The government is not attempting to stimulate the economy by creating a new industry merchandising people.
In addition to quality-of-life issues, federal agencies nd quantifying life helps justify decisions. Bureaucrats then can weigh the cost of a proposed federal regulation against the lifesaving benets. ... The Bush administration is being accused of devaluing human life to discourage adoption of new federal regulations, particularly environmental rules.
Placing a value on human life is not without precedent; insurance companies write life insurance policies for specic amounts and juries assess monetary damages in wrongful death judgments. But these are practical assessments, not solutions to an elusive puzzle. The value of a human life, like the depth and breadth of the cosmos, remains a mystery to ponder and celebrate.

Respect teachers
Editor, Education released a study of the dropout rate among those students who fail to complete a four-year high school curriculum. The study correctly identied the factors, primarily economic, which contribute to the problem. Though not stated in the report, one clear conclusion which can be drawn from all the data is that the hundreds of teachers who willingly teach in the underperforming schools throughout our communities are truly some of the unsung heroes and heroines among us. Thanks to their professionalism, dedication and inspiration untold numbers of young men and women nd the hope and acquire the skills to look forward to a bright and encouraging future. day on Highway 101 between Burlingame and Redwood City is disgusting, and it is costing us as taxpayers. I encourage your newspaper to do a front page story on how many millions litter cleanup is costing Caltrans each year just because people are too lazy to simply throw their trash away properly. My relatives recently visited Santiago, Chile, a city of six million people, and were amazed at how clean a city it was. There was also a Channel 9 story regarding this South American city, and it was also mentioned how clean of a city it is. Last year when I traveled to Florida, I also noticed how clean their freeways were. What is going on here in California? We are so environmentally conscious, and yet some of our streets and freeways are lthy. It gives visitors and residents alike a bad impression. c (for 10 hours). If about a half mile of the left westbound lane could have been closed and three or four of the center barriers moved both behind and in front of the accident so eastbound trafc could be diverted onto the westbound lane then back onto the eastbound lane the trafc could be kept moving in both directions, albeit slower, but it would keep moving and avoid some of the driver frustration of having it closed for 10 hours. As I suggested in my letter, a trafc control ofcer for both directions would keep the trafc moving. On the accident side, the ofcer would let 20 or 30 cars at a time proceed from each lane alternately. This would reduce the driver frustration from being at a standstill for hours. American Power, Roberts draws a parallel with the collapse of Britain as a preeminent power following World War II. A $410 billion budget decit is forecast for this year triggered by uncontrolled war spending and failed domestic and foreign policy initiatives. We continue to fund failed projects, such as the Missile Defense Initiative, to target mythical enemies. $500 billion dollars has been squandered on wars which has wrought grief and despair and intensied the anger toward the United States. In a blistering critique, David Walker, head of the General Accountability Ofce (GAO) stated on June 30, 2007, the federal government did not maintain effective internal control over nancial reporting (including safeguarding assets) and compliance with signicant laws and regulations. The GAO report pointed out that the accrued liabilities of the federal government totaled approximately $53 trillion as of Sept. 30, 2007. No funds have been set aside against this mind boggling liability. The harsh reality is that the worlds superpower is the largest debtor nation in the world, unable to ever repay its staggering debt.

NEW YORK Wall Street abruptly ended an earnings-driven rally and closed sharply lower Thursday after a steeper-than-expected decline in existing home sales and worries about the nancial sector chilled the markets recent optimism.

Bleeding cash,Ford looks to Europe for help

By Tom Krisher and Dee-Ann Derbin
DEARBORN, Mich. Bleeding cash and with its very survival uncertain, Ford Motor Co., an icon of American automaking, will try to import some of its success from across the Atlantic. Ford reported its worst-ever quarterly loss Thursday and announced plans to bring over six small, fuel-efcient cars it makes in Europe and start selling them
in North America, where Ford is losing billions on its truck-heavy lineup. The company burned through nearly $11 billion of its cash stockpile in the past year and reported a second-quarter loss of $8.7 billion. Ford is trying to save itself by quickly morphing from a truck company into a car company. But the help from Europe wont arrive until 2010: It takes time to retool U.S. plants, and importing the cars directly is too costly. Industry watchers wonder whether Ford has enough cash to survive until
then. You have the gap before the plan can be fully executed, said Jeff Schuster, executive director of global forecasting for J.D. Power and Associates. You kind of have to weather the conditions, and you have to weather the fact that youre still the old company in transition. Ford has successfully sold cars in Europe for years, and it made billions of dollars selling trucks to Americans. But U.S. drivers have recoiled this year from high gas prices and bolted for smaller cars.

Sporty XF gives Jaguar a new look

2009 Jaguar XF Premium Luxury BASE PRICE:$49,200 for luxury model; $55,200 for premium luxury. AS TESTED: $63,125. TYPE:Front-engine,rear-wheel-drive,ve-passenger,luxury sedan. ENGINE:4.2-liter,double overhead cam V-8. MILEAGE:16 mpg (city),25 mpg (highway). TOP SPEED:NA. LENGTH:195.3 inches. WHEELBASE:114.5 inches. CURB WEIGHT:4,017 pounds. BUILT AT:England. OPTIONS:Adaptive cruise control $2,200; advanced vision package (includes blind spot alert,rearview monitor and front sensors) $1,800; Bowers and Wilkins audio system $1,500; warm climate package (includes ventilated and heated front seats and power rear sunshade) $975; Sirius satellite radio $375; heated steering wheel $300. DESTINATION CHARGE:$775.
The recent sale of Jaguar to a carmaker in India isnt the only sign that things are changing big time for the storied British brand. The sleekly styled 2009 Jaguar XF sedan the newest model is a decided departure from Jaguar cars that tended to rely on looks from the past. Even the XF interior shows a break from traditional British formality. The sedans sporty front seats, and air vents in the dashboard that swivel automatically into place like synchronized swimmers, add modern pizazz. Best of all, the ride and handling of the XF is thoroughly modern, too, and thoroughly enjoyable. In fact, though more than 16 feet long, the four-door XF drives like a much smaller car. Starting manufacturers suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $49,975 for a base XF with naturally aspirated, non-supercharged V-8 capable of producing 300 horsepower. The top-of-the-line XF, with 420 horsepower from a supercharged V8, starts at $62,975. The pricing is competitive in the mid-size, luxury sedan segment. A 2008 Mercedes-Benz E-Class with V-8 starts at $60,525, including destination charge. But it also has 382 horsepower. And a 2008 Audi A6 with V-8 starts at $57,075. But it, too, has more horsepower 350 than the Jaguar. Indeed, the V-8 in the XF comes from the car it replaces the SType. But the 4.2-liter powerplant is somewhat revised, and the test XF had more than enough power for whatever I wanted. The 310 foot-pounds of torque peaks at 4,100 rpm and came on quickly whenever I wanted not with a raw, rough surge but a sweetly smooth progression.

And the rear end, with a large horizontal silver strip, was not distinctive. And friends asked how long those rotating air vents would last before malfunctioning. For the record, the Jaguar brand nished ninth in this years J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study, behind Inniti, Lexus and Mercedes in the rankings. The XFs pop-up, stubby gear shift dial was another gimmicky item. It was cool the rst few times. After that, I wished for a more direct gearshift experience from park to reverse.

All this was accomplished, by the way, via a six-speed automatic transmission that was well-paired to the engine. There were paddle shifters on the steering wheel so I could shift gears myself, without a clutch pedal. Still, its a tough call to say whether the power was more pleasing than the cars road manners. The rear-wheel-drive XF held tight to its line, even in fast descents around mountain curves. The car rolled and leaned some but clung tenaciously, though it wasnt the usual sensation of severe road-hugging thats evident in the German luxury cars. The Jaguar test car in luxury premium trim traveled smoothly overall without making me feel as if I was right on top of every groove in pavement. There was some cushion and some lightness to the ride, which made for an intriguing blend of handling capability and passenger comfort. But it did take some getting used to at rst. There was road noise from the big, 19-inch tires, but there was little noticeable wind noise. I think the latter is due to a shape that combines both coupe and sedan styling. I didnt baby this ve-passenger Jaguar, yet I got 21 miles per gallon in mixed city and highway driving. Thats not exactly a fuel-sipping number, but it was more than I expected, given that the ofcial city mileage rating is just 16 mpg. The highway rating is 25 mpg. There was pain at the pump, though. Premium gasoline is the recommended fuel, it cost some $80 to ll up the 18.4-gallon tank. The back seat is roomier than it might seem from the outside. Legroom is a decent 36.6 inches back there, and headroom of 37.4 inches is adequate for most passengers. Trunk space is a commendable 17.7 cubic feet, though much of it is wedged under the rear window and doesnt accommodate odd-shaped items.

Congress Iran ends cooperation with UN probe OKs $48B AIDS fight
By Jim Abrams
WASHINGTON The House voted Thursday to triple money to ght AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis around the world, giving new life and new punch to a program credited with saving or prolonging millions of lives in Africa alone. The 303-115 vote sends the global AIDS bill to President Bush for his signature. Bush, who rst oated the idea of a campaign against the scourge of AIDS in his 2003 State of the Union speech, supports the ve-year, $48 billion plan. Passage of the bill culminated a rare instance of cooperation between the White House and the Democratic-controlled Congress. It was born out of a willingness to work together and put the United States on the right side of history when it comes to this global pandemic, said Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., a leader on the issue. The current $15 billion act, which expires at the end of September, has helped bring lifesaving anti-retroviral drugs to some 1.7 million people and supported care for nearly 7 million. The Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, known as PEPFAR, has won plaudits from some of Bushs harshest critics both in Congress and around the world. Both Democrats and Republicans hailed it as one of the most signicant accomplishments of the Bush presidency. The United States, said Rep. Howard Berman, D-Calif., chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has given hope to millions infected with the HIV virus, which just a few years ago was tantamount to a death sentence.
VIENNA, Austria Iran signaled Thursday that it will no longer cooperate with U.N. experts probing for signs of clandestine nuclear weapons work, conrming the investigation is at a dead end a year after it began. The announcement from Iranian Vice President Gholam Reza Aghazadeh compounded skepticism about denting Tehrans nuclear deance, just ve days after Tehran stonewalled demands from six world powers that it halt activities capable of producing the ssile core of warheads. Besides demanding a suspension of uranium enrichment a process that can create both fuel for nuclear reactors and payloads for atomic bombs the six powers have been pressing Tehran to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agencys probe. Iran, which is obligated as a signer of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty not to develop nuclear arms, raised suspicions about its intentions when it admitted in 2002 that it had run a secret nuclear program for nearly two decades in violation of its commitment. The Tehran regime insists it halted such work and is now only trying to produce fuel for nuclear reactors to generate electricity. It agreed on a work plan with the Vienna-

based IAEA a year ago for U.N. inspectors to look into allegations Iran is still doing weapons work. At the time, IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei hailed it as a signicant step forward that would ll in the missing pieces of Tehrans nuclear jigsaw puzzle if honored by Iran. He brushed aside suggestions Iran was using the deal as a smoke screen to deect attention from its continued deance of a U.N. Security Council demand for a halt to uranium enrichment.
Suicide bomber kills eight U.S.-allied Sunnis in Iraq

By Kim Gamel
BAGHDAD A female suicide bomber blew herself up near U.S.-allied Sunni Arab ghters walking in a crowded area of Baqouba, killing at least eight of the guards and wounding 24 other people Thursday evening, police said. The attack comes as the U.S.-backed Iraqi military is promising to launch a major offensive in Diyala province aimed at taming the last major insurgent belt north of Baghdad.
Baqouba is the provinces capital. The woman, who was shrouded in a traditional black Islamic robe, detonated her explosives belt at about 8:30 p.m. as she approached a group of Awakening Council guards in the central New Baqouba area, a police ofcer said. The ofcer, who read the police bombing report but spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasnt authorized to release the information, and witnesses said the local Awakening Council chief, Naaim al-Duliami,
was killed along with seven of his bodyguards. The U.S. military in northern Iraq said troops were investigating the bombing and it could not immediately conrm that the attacker was a woman. The Sunni turn against al-Qaida has been credited by the U.S. military as a key factor in driving down Iraqs violence to its lowest point in more than four years. Also cited are the U.S. troop buildup and a cease-re declared by antiU.S. cleric Muqtada al-Sadr for his Shiite militia.

Race of Truth nears

By Jamey Keaten
SAINT-ETIENNE, France No crazy attacks, conserve energy, and hope for the best in the time trial: Tour de France leader Carlos Sastre is tipping his strategy as the race creeps toward its nish in Paris on Sunday. The Spanish veteran didnt see the chance he was looking for to expand his lead against his top rivals in Thursdays 18th stage out of the Alps, which Germanys Marcus Burghardt won by heading a two-man breakaway. With a at ride on tap for Friday, the nal showdown in cyclings premiere event comes in Saturdays Stage 20 a 32.9-mile race from Cerilly to Saint-Amand-Montrond. Sastre insists that he doesnt want to think about that stage just yet, but time trial aces Cadel Evans of Australia and Russias Denis Menchov who are among those nipping at his heels are clearly on his mind. At the Tour, you have to be wise and place your attacks well, said the 33-year-old Team CSC leader. Its true that today was hard, but
not enough to put Menchov or Evans in difculty. There was no reason to lead a crazy attack, said Sastre, who has nished in the top 10 at the Tour ve times. Now, its better to rest well for Saturday and keep my energy for the time trial. Sastre leads his CSC teammate Frank Schleck of Luxembourg by 1 minute, 24 seconds, and Austrias Bernhard Kohl is third, 1:33 behind. Evans is fourth, 1:34 back, and Menchov trails by 2:39 in fth. Of those, Evans, the 31-year-old Silence Lotto leader and Tour runner-up last year, appears to be the best-placed to take the yellow jersey off Sastre in time for Sundays nale of the three-week race on the ChampsElyses. The title hopefuls were content to let Burghardt, a 25-year-old Team Columbia rider, and Carlos Barredo of Spain speed ahead during Thursdays 122.1-mile ride from Bourg-dOisans to Saint-Etienne. Barredo came into the stage more than 2 hours behind Sastre, and Burghardt was more than three hours back. The two riders often
attacked each other in the last 6 miles, and at times chatted. The German raised his sts in the air and clapped after he won a sprint against Barredo, who banged his handlebars in frustration. They nished in 4 hours, 30 minutes, 21 seconds for the ride through minor mountains. Im really happy to win a stage in my second Tour appearance, Burghardt said. He tried to always stay behind me, and attack from behind. But I was always very focused, and he couldnt get away. Sastre and his main rivals in the title hunt nished 6:50 behind. Italian rider Damiano Cunego crashed during the stage, resuming racing a long way behind the main pack after sitting on the road and getting treatment from the race doctor. Television images showed Cunego having a bandage attached to his chin. His jersey was ripped and torn. After he got back up on his bike, one Lampre teammate helped him along by pushing Cunegos saddle as he glided. Cunego, once considered an outside favorite

Asomugha in camp; Niners sign 1st pick

By Josh Dubow
NAPA Star cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha ofcially signed his $9.765 million franchise player tender offer Thursday and joined the Oakland Raiders in time for their rst training camp practice, while running back LaMont Jordan has been told to stay away from the team. Jordan is scheduled to make $4.7 million this year and $5 million next season, but has no role with the Raiders after the team drafted Darren McFadden. Coach Lane Kifn said owner Al Davis is dealing with Jordans agent, Alvin Keels, to resolve the situation. Jordan visited the Detroit Lions earlier this month but has not found a new team willing to trade for him. The Raiders might be forced to release Jordan if they cant make a deal. Thats Al and LaMonts agent on that and Im out of that, Kifn said. Theyre handling it so all the information Ive got for you that was relayed to me is that theyre continuing to work on it. LaMont wont be here and
we wont be ning him. With the signing of Asomugha, all of Oaklands players are under contract by the start of training camp. Thats a big improvement from a year ago, when No. 1 overall draft pick JaMarcus Russell did not sign his Nnamdi $61 million, six-year conAsomugha tract until three days after the season began and second-round pick Zach Miller missed the rst day of training camp. Asomugha, who has not practiced with the team for the offseason, passed his conditioning test Thursday morning and took part in the teams rst practice later in the day. He looked really good, Kifn said. He breezed through the conditioning test, something weve always talked about, was not a concern of ours with him because we know who he is and how much hes working out even when hes not with us. In other news, receiver Javon Walker has been cleared to practice after being seriously
injured last month during a robbery in Las Vegas. Walker was discovered unconscious and beaten on a back street near the Las Vegas Strip following a night of partying. Walker was treated at a hospital for a concussion and facial injuries. The Raiders are counting heavily on Walker after signing him to a six-year, $55 million deal after the Denver Broncos released him in February. 49ers notes: The Niners signed defensive lineman Kentwan Balmer on Thursday, getting their rst-round draft pick into training camp a few hours before the teams rst meeting. Balmer, a late-blooming star at North Carolina, was the 29th overall pick in April. He is the last of the 49ers six draft picks to sign, agreeing to a ve-year contract and guaranteeing San Francisco will have no rookie holdouts for the fth straight summer. It was denitely important for me to be here Day One, and that was something my agent and myself both stressed, Balmer told reporters outside the 49ers training complex.
Im sure the team was eager to hear that as well, and we got it done as expected. Balmer, who worked at left defensive end during minicamps and summer practices, will be among the prospective replacements for Bryant Young, who retired last winter after 14 seasons with San Francisco. Although Young was at the 49ers complex Thursday as the players assembled for an evening team meeting, he has no plans to renounce his retirement. The 49ers will hold their first practice Friday in Santa Clara. The club also has nalized plans for two practices with the Oakland Raiders at their training camp in Napa on Aug. 4. The Bay Areas teams then will open the exhibition season against each other four days later in Oakland. This is an opportunity to work against some unfamiliar faces, coach Mike Nolan said. Players sometimes become comfortable with the level of competition during training camp. This gives us the opportunity to raise that level and learn more about ourselves both individually and collectively.
WNBA hands out suspensions for Tuesdays brawl

By Larry Lage
The WNBA punished so many players for their roles in this weeks skirmish that the league is staggering the suspensions by alphabetical order. None of us can recall an incident like this, WNBA president Donna Orender said Thursday during a conference call. The league suspended Detroit assistant coach Rick Mahorn and 10 players following the dustup between the Shock and the visiting Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday. Shock forward Plenette Pierson was suspended for four games, the harshest penalty, for initiating and escalating the altercation. In our opinion, Plenette was the aggressor, said Renee Brown, the WNBAs chief of basketball operations and player relations Mahorn was suspended for two games, as were Shannon Bobbitt and Murriel Page of
the Sparks, for the incident at The Palace of Auburn Hills. As a team, were incensed that Rick Mahorn was suspended, Detroit coach Bill Laimbeer said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press Candace Parker from Houston, where the Shock were scheduled to play the Comets. He was trying to be a peacemaker and now hes being thrown under the bus. Brown said Mahorn only started off as a peacemaker before he shoved Sparks star Lisa Leslie. Then he took it a step too far, she said. When he pushed Lisa, it escalated the situation. Players suspended for one game included Detroits Kara Braxton, Tasha Humphrey, player who has continued to improve during his two seasons with our team. His versatility, athleticism and ability to shoot the 3-pointer certainly t our style of play. Azubuike, a restricted free agent, signed the offer sheet with the Clippers last Friday, giving Golden State seven days to match it. The Warriors, who earlier signed high-scoring free agent swingman Corey Maggette from the Clippers, also signed forward Ronny Turiaf away from the Lakers last week with a similar offer-sheet deal. Golden State also signed forward Richard Hendrix, its second-round pick in last months draft.
Elaine Powell and Sheri Sam, along with Los Angeles Leslie, Candace Parker and DeLisha Milton-Jones. Pierson was also ned $1,500 and Mahorn was docked $1,000. The rest of the players involved were ned $500 each. I think the nes that were handed out were just, Los Angeles Sparks coach Michael Cooper said. I dont think there is anyone in this league that condones ghting. All players know what happens when you leave the oor and throw a punch. Unfortunately were missing four of our ve starters. Thats something that well have to deal with but thats why they call it a team sport. Pam Wheeler, director of operations for the WNBA players union, said ofcials are in the process of interviewing players affected by the nes and suspensions while reviewing video of the end of the game. A determination of any appeals or grievances will be made shortly, Wheeler said in a statement. The melee at The Palace in suburmethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA. The medication was doing its job but the infection was too aggressive, said his grandfather, Frank Magana. Armendariz, of Downey, developed a rash and u-like symptoms after returning from a high school wrestling camp in Lake Arrowhead last month, said his mother, Cynthia Magana. He became progressively sicker, contracted pneumonia and had holes in his lungs, she said. A teammate who did not attend the camp tested positive for staph a week after Armendariz became ill but his condition is not serious, Downey High School wrestling coach Miguel Soto said Wednesday. Four other wrestlers got rashes but tested negative for staph, he said. MRSA is resistant to some antibiotics but can be treated with other medications. It mainly causes skin

Parker and Pierson got tangled and fell to the court. Deanna Nolan tackled Parker, and Mahorn appeared to push Leslie to the court. Milton-Jones responded by punching Mahorn in the back. The fracas started moments after Parker and Detroits Cheryl Ford had to be separated after Ford fouled Parker. After Ford tried to restrain Pierson, her right knee buckled and she left the oor in a wheelchair and will miss the rest of the season and playoffs due to a torn knee ligament. Rare buzz was generated for the WNBA by the skirmish, but the source of the spotlight doesnt thrill the league.

Warriors re-sign Ellis Bonds in pinstripes?

By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND The Golden State Warriors made sure they would have Monta Ellis in their backcourt at least for the near future, resigning the explosive guard to a multiyear contract Thursday. Ellis, who was a restricted free agent, is expected to take over at point guard next season in Don Nelsons up-tempo offense after two-time All-Star Baron Davis opted out of his contract earlier this month to join his hometown team, the Los Angeles Clippers. We are absolutely thrilled to have Monta under contract for the next several years, said Chris Mullin, Golden States executive vice president of basketball operations. He has been one of the top young players in the NBA for the last two years and enjoyed a tremendous season last year. The growth that he has demonstrated at such a young age is incredible and we look forward to him playing a big part in our future success. The 22-year-old Ellis, selected out of high school in the second round of the 2005 NBA draft, averaged career bests of 20.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.53 steals in 37.9 minutes and 81 games last season. He was named the NBAs Most Improved Player after the 2006-07 campaign.
Mullin has been working furiously to upgrade his roster and knows he has no choice considering the Warriors play in the power-packed Western Conference. Golden State, the first 48-victory NBA team not to make the playoffs this Monta Ellis past season, is coming off consecutive winning seasons for the rst time in 16 years. Yet the Warriors best season in 14 years wasnt enough to make it to the postseason after the team advanced to the second round in 2007. Earlier Thursday, the Warriors announced that shooting guard Kelenna Azubuike would return after the club matched the Clippers three-year, $9 million offer sheet. Azubuike averaged 8.1 points and 4.0 rebounds in 81 games last season with the Warriors, who signed the former Kentucky guard out of the NBA Developmental League in January 2007. He started 17 games for Golden State, and he should see more playing time next season after Davis departure. We are pleased to have Kelenna back in the fold, Mullin said. Hes a young and talented player who has continued to improve during his two seasons with our team.
TAMPA, Fla. Barry Bonds in pinstripes? If nothing else, the New York Yankees talked about it. High-ranking Yankees ofcials gathered for meetings at their spring training complex Thursday, a day off for the team before it begins an important three-game series Friday night in Boston. Missing injured sluggers Hideki Matsui and Jorge Posada, the Yankees discussed ways to improve for the stretch run as next Thursdays trade deadline approaches. After a three-hour meeting, co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner conrmed that one of the topics was the indicted home run king. We covered everything, including Bonds, Steinbrenner said. Steinbrenner wouldnt say if the Yankees are interested in Bonds, but it appears unlikely the team will pursue him partly because its so late in the season. The slugger, who turned 44 on Thursday, became a free agent when the San Francisco Giants did not bring him back this season. A day before the All-Star game at Yankee Stadium last week, Bonds agent, Jeff Borris, said the seven-time MVP had not received a single offer. Borris previously said Bonds would be willing to play for a prorated share of the
$390,000 minimum and donate his salary to buy tickets for kids. In addition to Hank Steinbrenner, his brother, co-chairman Hal Steinbrenner, president Randy Levine, general manager Brian Cashman, Barry Bonds special adviser Gene Michael and senior vice president of baseball operations Mark Newman were among those at the meetings. Matsui has been on the disabled list since June 23 with a balky knee that could require season-ending surgery. Posada could also be looking at surgery for his right shoulder, after an MRI exam showed fraying in the tendons around the labrum. Both are trying to rehab, and their progress over the next week could go a long way toward helping the club decide what moves to make before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. Hank Steinbrenner declined to get into specifics about potential trades, but said theres a couple things that might be promising. New York already added first baseman Richie Sexson, who was released by Seattle. The Yankees have won six straight since the All-Star break.
Led by Blanco, MLS All-Stars beat West Ham

TORONTO Chicago midfielder Cuauhtemoc Blanco scored one goal and helped set up another, and Houston midelder Dwayne DeRosario snapped a tie with a penalty kick to give the MLS All-Stars a 3-2 victory over English Premier League team West Ham United 3-2 on Thursday night. The All-Stars are unbeaten in ve years against foreign opponents. Blanco was chosen as the games most valuable player. Forward Dean Ashton scored both goals for West Ham, which beat MLS Columbus Crew 3-1 in an exhibition match on Sunday that was marred by a halftime brawl between more than 100 fans. Los Angeles midelder David
Beckham played the entire game and earned an assist in his rst MLS All-Star appearance. Beckham came close to scoring in the 40th minute, but his low free kick was headed away by West Ham defender Calum Davenport. The England international had two more opportunities early in the second half, running onto a loose ball inside the 18-yard box but shooting high and just wide. He misses wide again on a free kick minutes later. West Ham opened the scoring in the 26th minute when Carlton Coles header sent Ashton in alone on goal. Ashton, who made his international debut for England last month, coolly red a low shot past New England goalkeeper Matt Reis and into the bottom corner. The lead was short-lived, as
Beckham and Blanco teamed up to help the MLS All-Stars tie it one minute later. Blancos clever back-heel on Beckhams pass from mideld sent Colorado midelder Christian Gomez into the 18-yard box, and he scored with a low shot under West Ham goalkeeper Robert Green. Blanco put the All-Stars in front 2-1 with a brilliant goal just before halftime. Dallas midelder Juan Toja slid a short pass to Blanco, who eluded Scott Parker and curled a shot into a far corner, beyond Greens outstretched arms. Ashton tied it at 2-all in the 68th minute when his long shot deected off Kansas City defender Jimmy Conrad and past Reis. Again, the MLS wasted little time in replying. Referee Mauricio Navarro pointed to the
penalty spot after Lucas Neill brought down DeRosario inside the penalty box. With the record crowd of 20,844 roaring for the Toronto native, DeRosario blasted his shot off the underside of the crossbar. The ball then took a fortunate bounce into the back of the net. West Hams Luis Boa Morte almost tied it in the nal minute of regular time, but shot wide. DeRosario nearly added a second soon after, but Green dove to palm away his deected free kick. The MLS All-Stars beat Mexicos Guadalajara 3-1 in 2003 and, after returning to an East-West format in 2004, defeated English team Fulham 4-1 in 2005. They blanked Englands Chelsea 1-0 in 2006 before beating Scotlands Celtic 2-0 last year.

San Francisco took all seven games from the Nationals this year after sweeping a four-game set in Washington from June 6-9 just the third time since 1900 the franchise has swept a season series of more than three games. San Francisco went 9-0 against Florida in 1998 and 6-0 versus the New York Mets in 2002. Roberts started in left and batted leadoff, his rst time in the lineup since going on the disabled list in late April following left knee surgery. The 36-year-old Roberts made a pretty, leaping catch that brought him to the ground, stealing a hit from Willie Harris in the sixth.

Ferrell,Reilly reunite as duo

By David Germain
LOS ANGELES Bob Hope and Bing Crosby might be on the road to nowhere if they tried to team up today the way they did in old Hollywood. Todays funny folks reunite now and then, like Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in Step Brothers, a follow-up to their 2006 comedy Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. But cynical audiences now might carp at perpetual pairings that were a movie staple in the days of Hope and Crosby, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy or Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. Ben Afeck and Matt Damon or Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson have hung around together on screen or popped up in cameos in each others movies, but even they have to be mindful of moviegoers who gripe that Hollywood dishes out too much of the same old thing. It became a stigma, which is kind of

The title is Step Brothers. You know, because there are two of them. But Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are essentially playing the same person, which is the movies fundamental, irreparable aw. As 40-year-olds whove never left home and are forced to share a bedroom when their parents get married, Ferrell and Reilly are stuck in the same state of arrested development. Theres no odd-couple tension, no witty banter, just a prolonged, painfully unfunny game of one-upmanship in which each actor is trying to outdo the other in one-note obnoxiousness. You wouldnt want to spend two hours with one of these guys, much less both. Sure, they display slight personality differences Ferrells Brennan wears vintage Tshirts with Pablo Cruise or The Judds on

n a 1977 episode of Happy Days, Fonzie jumps over a shark while water skiing. This televised moment led to the coining of the phrase, jump the shark, and meant that the show had reached its peak and stopped being relevant. In Stuff White People Like: The Denitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions, 29-year-old bloggerturned-publishing sens a t i o n Christian Lander illustrates this concept with T h e Simpsons, a show that white people can use to measure the intelligence and taste of another white person. Go ahead and test this out: engage in conversation with a white person about The Simpsons. If he says the show jumped the shark after just season two too early for those in the know he may be faking his cultural knowledge (as well as snobbery). However, if the white person in question says The Simpsons jumped the shark at a much later season, he is probably the wrong kind of white person: uncultured, uncool and mainstream. If you havent heard of Landers popular and controversial blog of the same name at http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com, launched in early 2008, you may be this wrong kind of white person. With more than 30 million hits, the site garnered the attention of Random House in the spring, securing the Canadianborn blogger a book deal and a $300,000 advance. The blog, with a clean, simple design reminiscent of Restoration Hardware and J. Crew, compiles authentic stuff coveted by millions of white people, from organic food and Wes Anderson movies to studying abroad, hating corporations and Asian girls. Says Lander, If you like something anything there is a 100 percent chance that there is a white person out there who likes it more than you. It doesnt matter what it is Mandarin, sushi, marijuana, African music, hip-hop, television,

launches to elite status: his adventure is more authentic than another persons trip to Western Europe. Standing Still at Concerts (67) and Music Piracy (92) show the importance of music to white people, and the more unheard of and emo, the better. The problem is that most of the music white people like isnt especially dancefriendly, says Lander, which results in songs about pain that force them to stand silently (and unintentionally sway) at shows. The right kind of white people hate when a band sells out, particularly when one of its tracks makes it onto a television commercial. (Songs that make it onto Apple commercials are exceptions and still tolerated. In fact, in a white persons eyes, Apple is exempt whenever corporations are discussed in a negative light. (See entry 82). Lander also discusses selling out in Integrity (104), which creates two big problems for a white person, the most immediate of which is the fact that [an] artist will now be enjoyed by a diverse group of people, including the wrong kind of white people. There is literally nothing more hated by white people.

Madagascar or jai alai. Satire is a tricky, risky form of entertainment, its effect and success dependent on the person absorbing it. Lander mocks a type of white person who is unique when set against the rest of the white population, but inauthentic when compared to other white people in her demographic: the Whole Foodsloving, liberal arts or graduate schooleducated, indie music-listening, Daily Show-watching cross-section of society. Its Landers own beard-growing, eyeglasses-wearing, bicycle-riding kind: the urban yuppie; the creative or nonprofit professional; and the hipster with cash. Every city has this subset: in San Francisco, its in Potrero Hill and Hayes Valley; in New York, its in Park Slope; in Los Angeles, its in Los Feliz; in Oregon, its in Portland and Bend; and so on. Look for highbrow taste, unforced style, passionate tolerance and serious awareness youll find this type of person.
sumer subculture than a white demographic. So it worked for me. For others, it may work on different levels. It isnt, however, for everyone.
Culture for sale

Culture even the white culture Lander describes can be bought, via a $4 vintage T-shirt from Goodwill or a $10 vegan pastry from the neighborhood bakery. The advanced or elite status of which Lander speaks can be reached not just by whites, but anyone with an eye for trends, a nose for sniffing out whats hip, and the money, personality and adaptability to do so. Entry after entry, Lander comments on a white persons early adoption and appropriation of tastes, brands and lifestyles, and the disposal of products or ideas once they become popular. The Prius-owning, Chomsky-reading, sushi-eating individuals mocked in these pages value authenticity, diversity, experience and happiness over wealth. These are righteous things to seek, yes, but Lander suggests that the ways people integrate them into their lives and their reasons for doing so are contrived. He subtly comments on how even the most obscure lifestyles and attitudes in this diverse, liberal or progressive subset have been branded and marketed. The Internet copywriter got the idea for Stuff White People Like during an amusing IM exchange when his Filipino Canadian friend said he didnt trust a white person who didnt watch The Wire. The book, which combines new material with existing blog entries, covers other beloved whiteperson topics like tea; essayist David Sedaris; charming black people like Mos Def and Dave Chappelle who safely connect them to hip-hop and black culture; multicultural undertakings like a semester abroad, foreign child adoption or threatening to flee to Canada. And New Balances.
Wallace & Gromit to be a video game

By Derrik J. Lang
LOS ANGELES Wallace & Gromit are going on a new adventure. Telltale Games is creating an episodic video game based on Aardman Animations Oscar-winning animated lm series titled Wallace & Gromits Grand Adventures. The popular stop-motion clay animated franchise stars the cheese-loving, hair-brained inventor Wallace (voiced by Peter Sallis) and his long-suffering loyal pooch, Gromit. Were certainly going for the clay look with this, Telltale Games CEO Dan Connors told the Associated Press. Clay presents a challenge if you really get into the detail of it. For example, adding ngerprints in a medium where there arent any is one of the discussions of how far we should go with the games detail. Grand Adventures will allow gamers to play as both Wallace and Gromit, engaging in zany entrepreneurial schemes and tinkering with kooky contraptions. Connors said Grand Adventures will feature more physical and situationbased comedy and would likely follow the distribution model of Telltales episodic video game series Sam & Max. Aardman Animations has produced three Academy Awardwinning Wallace & Gromit animated short lms as well as the full-length feature lm The Curse of The Were-Rabbit, which won an animated lm Oscar in 2006. A Matter of Loaf and Death, a fourth animated short starring the twosome, is currently in production. The characters previously appeared in the standalone games Cracking Contraptions, Project Zoo and Curse of The Were-Rabbit. Connors hopes the new take on Wallace & Gromit will be more true to the franchise than previous games. The other games captured the personality, but all you ended up doing was running through the world, said Connors. It was a standard platform game. We feel like the gameplay should be more of an experience. You should be able to interact with the other characters and really feel like youre in the world of Wallace & Gromit.
What is cool?
The irony of Stuff White People Like lies in the nature of trends and the dissemination of cool. Landers early readership was an innovative lot: the small percentage of content creators who lead changes that trickle down to the masses. These people thought the site was brilliant before anyone else and forwarded its URL to friends, who then e-mailed it to more people, who sent it even further outside the realm of hip to the wrong kind of white people. The hyped-up book version of Stuff White People Like, then, is unfunny and insulting to everyone else, and Lander is seen as a sellout to his once-enthusiastic followers and an elitist to mainstream culture and too-serious critics. This month, blog readers have complained of fewer posts, disgruntled that Lander has spent less time on the site since the books release. Perhaps Stuff White People Like jumped the shark the moment Lander secured a book deal. Still, it doesnt matter if you find the book hilarious, bigoted, or somewhere in between: the fact that the blog has become an international Internet and publishing phenomenon is reason enough to check it out.

Controversy
While Stuff White People Like is sheer brilliance to this demographic, the usage of white in the blog and books title has riled many people. The material is viewed as satirical, but also ambiguous or blatantly racist, as some readers white or not are offended, or uncertain of how to feel because they may not get the joke. Some critics think the commentary is unoriginal think Bobos in Paradise repackaged for a younger, hipper set while others believe Landers witty, self-deprecating humor disguises an elitist, profit-seeking venture. Im Filipino, raised in the mostly white, manicured suburb of Redwood Shores, but I cant comment here on race or class. Or I suppose I choose not to. Doing so would dampen the discussion, which would be unfair, because most of what Lander has written has made me spit out of my coffee from spastic laughter. My non-white friends and I identify with the stuff white people like, including Non-American News Sources (entry 115), Reusable Shopping Bags (121), Hardwood Floors (142) and Farmers Markets (5). Early on, I sensed Stuff White People Like was less about race and more about our cultures trends and mindless behavior. It was more about a con-

Numerous entries focus on global travel, which is necessary to make a white person worldly and aware of poverty. In International Travel (19), white-person travel can be divided into two categories: First World and Third World. White people usually take a life-changing trip to Europe in college or in their 20s, while advanced white people venture to Southeast Asia, South America or Africa.

SAN DIEGO The most passionate Spider-Men, Storm Troopers, Harry Potters and other pop-culture fanatics are headed south for their annual pilgrimage. Comic-Con, the countrys biggest comicbook convention, begins Thursday at the San Diego Convention Center. More than 100,000 people a day many in the costumes of their favorite characters will ll the sprawling seaside space during the four-day convention. Theyll try out the latest video games, seek out collectible books and toys, restock their T-shirt and costume collections and get a preview of anticipated lms and TV shows. The annual convention, now in its 38th year, draws the most avid fans around
the kind who will blog about whats cool and generate online attention that money cant buy. (Just ask the people who cashed in on Iron Man, which started as a metallic buzz at last years convention that built all year before eclipsing the $300 million mark at the domestic box ofce this summer.) As superheroes go, so goes ComicCon. And oh, what superheroes have become: Five of the top 20 summer movies are based on comic book characters, including The Dark Knight, the record-shattering Batman juggernaut that took $158.4 million in its rst weekend (beating the previous record set by 2006 Comic-Con darling Spider-Man 3). This summer theres been an embarrassment of riches, said Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. Comic-Con is dipping your toe in that water to see how
rabid your fan base is. Among the big-screen previews contending for early buzz this year are Watchmen, an adaptation of the graphic novel by 300 director Zack Snyder, and Terminator Salvation, the longawaited new installment in the franchise. The much-anticipated Star Trek, on the other hand, has promised no previews or panel discussions, but is still bound to generate ample fanboy chatter. Comic-Con attracts a really vocal and discriminating entertainment fan, so its a great venue to showcase exciting products, said Sarah Greenberg, co-president of theatrical marketing for Lionsgate. With blogging and the Internet ... people are communicating directly from peer to peer about matters of taste and really quickly you can get a beat on what theyre talking about.

Energy foods from around the world

By Maria Noel Groves
With bars and beverages that promise to enhance your athletic prowess taking up ever greater chunks of retail real estate, it would be easy to mistake energy foods as a modern phenomenon. But the belief that consuming special foods can enhance performance can be traced throughout much of human history. And some traditions are a bit better grounded in science than others.
Ancient Europe: Meat and wine

During medieval and Renaissance times, it was believed that a person could gain the attributes of a substance by eating it, says Ken Albala, food historian and author of Eating Right in the Renaissance. And so boiled meat (or muscle) was the preferred food for athletes and warriors. While the Greeks believed beef was hard for the average person to digest, they also thought athletes and gladiators had exceptionally strong digestive re. Gladiators also consumed large amounts of barley porridge, which was thought to provide energy and fat to protect them from injury. Their primary energy drink was wine, believed to boost condence and courage. Verdict: Protein can help build muscle and carbohydrates (barley) consumed before competition can improve endurance, but the folks from this era probably indulged excessively. And while wine may provide liquid courage, it also impairs muscle re-synthesis and the bodys ability to recover post-competition, says Jennifer Sacheck, assistant professor of nutrition at Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition.
Modern energy bars also have a long lineage.Native Americans made pemmican,dehydrated cakes of jerky-like meat,fat and wild berries.They provided large amounts of fat and protein for long-term energy.
specic meats or seafood, vegetables and medicinal herbs, says Li Xu, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine at Southwest Acupuncture College in Albuquerque, N.M. Marathon runners will drink soup simmered with a whole turtle. Sumo wrestlers consume vast quantities of chankonabe, a Japanese stew typically made with chicken, fried sh, tofu, vegetables, mushrooms, noodles and rice. Herbs believed to strengthen resistance to stress traditionally have been simmered into soups, teas and rice dishes. Chinese and American ginseng, as well as the caterpillar fungus cordyceps, have been popular among athletes and royalty for centuries. Reishi and shiitake mushrooms, lycium berries, jujube dates, astragalus and codonopsis roots also have consumed as energy foods. Verdict: While broths and soups provide easily digested nutrients, modern research on many medicinal herbs is limited, as is understanding of how they might work. Almonds, milk and saffron are believed to build internal strength, or ojas. Verdict: Partly because of lactose intolerance issues, athletes in many other cultures avoid dairy, consider it to be too congesting. Also, Sacheck says the protein and fat in some dairy products can be slow to digest, making them poor choices prior to competition. But eggs and wheat are good sources of protein and carbohydrates. Though ashwagandha has a long history of use in Indian medicine, clinical research on it is slim.
seng-infused corn liquor was a popular beverage drunk as a shot. And an Atlanta druggist created Pembertons French Wine Coca, an energy beverage containing wine, cocaine and kola nut (caffeine). During prohibition the wine was replaced with a sweet syrup and the drink was reborn as Coca-Cola. More recently the beverage industry has exploded with high-caffeine energy drinks such as Red Bull and electrolyte -laced beverages such as Gatorade and Vitamin Water. This style of drink often sports vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, amino acids, caffeine, herbs and antioxidants. Modern energy bars also have a long lineage. Native Americans made pemmican, dehydrated cakes of jerky-like meat, fat and wild berries. They provided large amounts of fat and protein for longterm energy. Verdict: Sports drinks and energy bars may provide fast energy, nutrients and electrolytes, and provide a boost from caffeine or other ingredients. But experts say they generally arent critical for sports nutrition and may contain unnecessary calories, sugar and sodium. Electrolytes are mainly important for athletes who may compete for more than an hour at a time, or in very hot conditions, says Sacheck.
Who needs what?

The nutritional needs of athlete depend, in large part, on the type of activity they perform, says Sacheck. Easily-digested carbohydrates in the form of bagels or pasta provide quick energy to fuel athletes such as swimmers and runners that perform for more than a couple minutes and need it for endurance. Before competition, these athletes Should avoid protein, fat or anything that might slow digestion. Weight-lifters require more protein during training, often in the form of eggs and whey, but also as meat and soy. This helps with muscle synthesis and repair. During competition they perform for only short bursts dont need the sorts of carbohydrates endurance athletes do.
India: Egg whites, wheat and ashwagandha-infused milk

According to ayurvedic traditions (Indias traditional medicine system), athletes are believed have a ery constitution. And so cooling, easily digested, nourishing foods and herbs are used to increase their strength and stamina, says Hilary Garivaltis, dean of the Kripalu School of Ayurveda in Stockbridge, Mass. An athletes diet may focus on egg whites, wheat, almonds, saffron-infused almond milk, lemon water, milk infused with ashwagandha, an herb believed to improve the ability of the body and mind to cope with stress.

sure to check the ethnic aisle, too. You are likely to find less common, but delicious, varieties there. Beans can replace some or all of the meat called for in many dishes. They also can be pureed (with seasonings) to make quick dips and spreads. Or simply add some to a salad for extra protein, flavor and texture. Be sure to always rinse and drain canned beans before using them to remove excess salt and indigestible sugars that are in the cloudy liquid. This recipe for Triple-Bean Casserole uses three varieties of beans to make a colorful and quick stovetop dish that is reminiscent of baked beans. Ketchup, cider vinegar, molasses and dry mustard combine with chopped onion to make a sauce that is high in flavor and low in fat. The recipe calls for crumbled, cooked bacon for flavoring. To make a vegetarian version, simply leave it out or use diced smoked tofu instead.

Beans and bacon can make a healthy meal

By Jim Romanoff
Though sometimes called the poor mans meat, beans are rich in protein and have plenty to offer a healthy diet. Packed with fiber and other plant-based nutrients, beans are low-fat, can prolong the feeling of fullness after a meal and help control blood sugar levels. Many people wont bother cooking dry beans, which can require soaking overnight and, depending on the variety, long cooking on the stove. But convenient canned beans are an essential for any healthy pantry. The good news is that canned beans keep their nutrients during the canning process. Canned beans are available in numerous varieties, and usually are found alongside the canned vegetables at the grocer. But be

Laurel and Hardy, the Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, these guys were willing to make a lifetime commitment to the act, and it took them literally a good chunk of their life to get the rhythm and timing down, said Rob Farr, founder of Slapsticon, a comedy lm festival in Arlington, Va., featuring icks from early Hollywood. These days, no actor with an ego wants to tie themselves down to a partner for decades at a time. Producers churned out far more movies then, much of their output following broad formulas. When Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein proved a hit, it wasnt long before they were encountering the Invisible Man, the Mummy or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in subsequent romps. While players such as Hope and Crosby mixed it up with solo careers, the idea of splitting up successful comedy teams to let them pursue individual projects would have been bad business to studio executives. People werent screaming for a Stan Laurel solo vehicle, said Reilly, a big Laurel and Hardy fan. I just got this biography about the two of them, so Im sure Ill nd out a little more about the dynamics that kept them working together, but I think they just worked. A fat guy and a skinny guy. Thats what people wanted to see. Old-style comedy teams were tailored to the players strengths, the lovably dopey Laurel opposite bossy Hardy, zany Costello opposite stoic and ustered Abbott. Few actors today would be willing to put up with such narrow connes. In the old days, traditional comedy teams had a straight man and the comic, said Wes Gehring, who teaches film at Ball State University and specializes in comedy. Everybody now wants to be the comic. Everybody wants to be the funny one. Nobody wants to be the second banana now. Audiences also are sensitive to suspicions that theyre being sold a bill of goods. Comedy needs to feel fresh and spontaneous, and continually pairing the same faces might bring an air of formulaic premeditation to a movie.

unfair, Ferrell told the Associated Press in an interview alongside Reilly. Could Hope and Crosby exist today without getting, like, here they go, another Road picture? Let me guess, Road to Bali. Theyll probably open with a song, then theyll get in trouble, then more of the same. Youd just get picked apart. Adam McKay, director of Step Brothers and Talladega Nights, said escalating salaries also can make it uneconomical to pair up top comedy stars, who can pull in $20 million a movie. Movie marketing is built heavily around solo stars the new Adam Sandler comedy, the latest Eddie Murphy farce and marquee talent sometimes can be reluctant to give up any of the limelight, McKay said. One of the reasons that this all came together again is that Will is such a cool guy. A lot of the bigger actors or comedians, they dont want to share with another person, Reilly said. Thats why so many of these movies are oneman-show kind of situations, and Will is much more like a theater actor in that way. Hes willing to share the stage. Step Brothers casts Ferrell and Reilly as middle-aged losers unemployed slackers, one living with his dad (Richard Jenkins), the other with his mom (Mary Steenburgen). When their parents wed, the two become instant family, sibling rivalry springing up from the start. Sharing the stage was the bread-and-butter for some comedy stars in old Hollywood. Along with duos, there were comedy teams such as the Marx Brothers, the Ritz Brothers and the Three Stooges that worked as inseparable entities. Unlike todays free-agent stars, actors were under contract to particular studios, which tended to keep many of their performers in predictable niches that were familiar and comfortable to fans.

Sgt. Mark Duri of the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce Bomb Squad takes their Remotec Mini-Andros robot which was the inspiration for Pixars new star WALLE for a spin.

three hours taking thousands of pictures and videotaped the robots movements, Duri said. Why the Mini-Andros? It doesnt have the cute binocular head like WALLE and it doesnt have a personality. That was clearly the work of creative animators. It does, however, moves like an old robot. Its two-joint arm joints cant pivot as well as newer robots and it has metal tread without wheels. The 80-pound vintage robot was originally designed to travel down an airplane aisle, Duri said. The Sheriffs Ofce purchased the robot for $140,000 in 1993. In 2005, the Sheriffs Ofce used grant money to buy a larger robot with more movement capabilities. It never gave up on its Mini-Andros, though, and occa-
sionally the little guy is called upon to get a bomb out of a tight spot, Duri said. The bomb squad technicians are usually met with amazement when they tell counterparts they still use the Mini-Andros, Duri said. A Mini-Andros is actually on display at the bomb school museum in Alabama and a department in Arizona is the only one using the antiquated technology, Duri said. Duri compares the aging robot to an old car because it takes a lot of time to x and maintain. In 1993, Duri spent three days at a special class learning how to take apart and reassemble the robot, he said. The Sheriffs Ofce is applying for a federal grant to help purchase a $150,000 replacement. Thats the only money available to buy new robots, Duri said. Unfortunately, Pixar didnt write a check to the department for its trouble. It did, however, invite the bomb squad to a company car show last month and gave special thanks in the movie credits. Duri has yet to see the movie. pop up here and there.) At the same time, many of the jokes are of the broad, physical variety and seemingly aimed at the lowest common denominator. Brennan and Dale routinely beat each other to a pulp with whatever is convenient: a shovel, a cymbal, a bike, their sts. Then once they reach a detente and team up to exact revenge on the school yard bullies who regularly torment Dale, they turn around and beat those kids to a pulp, which isnt particularly inspired, either. Its not that any of this stuff is offensive, its just hackneyed and at. You can practically feel the strain through the screen. Theres also the obligatory gross-out bodily humor, including Dales inability to keep his gas to himself during a job interview (hardy-har). And we wont even begin to describe the, um, creative way Brennan uses a bath mat, or what he does to Dales prized drum kit. Meanwhile, all Brennans mom, Nancy (Mary Steenburgen), and Dales dad, Robert (Richard Jenkins), can do is throw their hands up and sigh in exasperation. Often they scream back with expletives of their own because in theory, its supposed to be shocking to hear dirty words ying from Steenburgens proper, Southern mouth. Both actors deserve better.
BROTHER
TV, worse music and above all, crass putdowns. (Most of them cant be repeated here, which is ne, because theyre not exactly zingers anyway.) They immediately hate each other, eventually become best friends and then hate each other all over again. But regardless of the status of their relationship, the humorously awkward chemistry these actors shared as teammates in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby is long gone, because the script makes no room for it. And thats strange, because Ferrell co-wrote the screenplay with his old friend, director Adam McKay, with whom he collaborated on the NASCAR comedy. (Reilly shares a story-by credit here.) Watching Step Brothers, though, it doesnt take long to realize that their creative process consisted of sitting around, cracking each other up with adolescent gags, and then writing it all down. Whether the rest of the world will be doubled over with laughter seems irrelevant and that insularity is ultimately alienating. (A couple of funny lines do

Food brief
No-bake, healthy snack still tastes like a treat
Let the buyer beware when it comes to purchasing lunch box snacks at the grocer. Many are loaded with sugar, fat, salt or all of the above. Bagged salty snacks such as chips and crackers often are nothing but empty calories. Even some labeled as whole grain have barely a gram of the ber thats so important to a healthy diet. Fruit strips and gummy fruit snacks may offer vitamins, but they also are high in calories and have few of the nutrients found in a piece of fresh fruit. And while a cookie or two is a ne snack once in a while, many off-the-shelf brands are loaded with high-fructose corn syrup and trans fats. Instead, choose snacks rich in complex carbohydrates (whole-grain breads and cereals), protein (low-fat cheese, yogurt and lean deli meats) and good fats (such as those in nuts and nut butters). Fresh fruits always are a good choice, but if you are packing them in a lunch or backpack be sure to pick varieties that are sturdy enough to survive the trip. Dried fruits contain plenty of nutrients and ber but because the water is removed, they are less lling. That makes it easier to consume too many calories. Of course, making your own snacks is one of the best ways to control what and how much children snack on. Cocoa-orange cereal and nut clusters are irresistibly sweet and salty, plus they are no-bake and take only 15 minutes to prepare. These treats combine whole-grain cereal, nuts and fruit juice with a pleasant sweetness. The recipe makes 24 bite-size servings that are easily portioned. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to ve days.
When was the last time you made paella? Thundering silence from the crowd. Thats probably because traditional versions of this otherwise awesome Spanish summer dish of rice, seafood and meat can take the better part of a day. Even streamlined versions take a couple hours. But it seemed there had to be a faster way. After all, many of the key ingredients white rice, shrimp, calamari cook quickly. Surely, shortcuts could be found for everything else. This ultra-streamlined version keeps all the robust avors of traditional paellas, but gets a kick in the pants from precooked chicken sausages and a unique cooking method. Traditional paellas are cooked outdoors over wood res. This version uses a grill, which retains the festive outdoor aspects of the dish (making it great for a barbecue), but speeds things up (even over stovetop versions). Part of the speed comes from being able to cover the grill, which retains heat to speed the cooking. Paella traditionally is cooked in a special wide, shallow pan (available online and at kitchen shops). You also could use a large, oven-safe skillet (about 14 inches). Either way, be sure your pan ts on your grill with the cover down. This recipe can be adapted for the stovetop, but you will need to reduce the heat (the pan is closer to the ame on the stove than on a grill), and use the oven to replicate the effect of closing the grill. Note that during cooking, a crusty layer of rice will form along the bottom of the pan. This is good. It is called soccarat and is considered essential to the taste and texture of traditional paella. Finally, there are plenty of ingredients left out of this simplied recipe that could be easily added, including mussels, sh and other meat. Experiment to suit your tastes.

2 cloves garlic, minced Pinch red pepper akes 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 2 red bell peppers, cored and thinly sliced 12-ounce package sweet Italian chicken sausages (precooked variety), cut into 1/2-inch-thick oblongs 1 large yellow onion, nely diced 3 tablespoons tomato paste 2 cups long-grain white rice 3 1/2 cups chicken broth 1/2 cup white wine 1 teaspoon crushed saffron threads 1 pound raw extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined 1/2 pound calamari rings 1 cup peas (thawed if frozen) 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley Salt and ground black pepper, to taste 1 lemon, cut into wedges Heat a grill with a cover to high. Place a paella pan or very large ovensafe skillet (at least 14 inches) on the grill. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the garlic, red pepper akes, paprika, red peppers and sausages. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage and pepper mixture to a bowl and set aside. Return the pan to the heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the onion. Saute for 2 minutes, then add the tomato paste. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir to mix into the tomato paste. Slowly pour in the broth and wine and stir well. Stir in the saffron, close the grill and let cook 9 minutes. Open the grill, stir the rice, then cover the grill and cook another 9 minutes, or until all the liquid is abosrbed and a light crust of rice has formed along the bottom of the pan. Add the shrimp and mix into the rice. Cover the grill and cook 4 minutes. Add the calamari, peas and reserved sausage and pepper mixture. Cover the grill and cook another 4 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and rm. To serve, sprinkle the paella with parsley, season with salt and pepper, then set the lemon wedges around the edge of the pan.

CORA celebrates 30 years
As the only agency in San Mateo County with the sole purpose of serving victims and survivors of domestic violence and abuse, CORA works hard to provide life-saving services to over six thousand clients annually. On June 11, CORA marked its 30th anniversary with its inaugural corporatebacked event at the Kohl Mansion in Burlingame, presented by longtime partner and Diamond Level sponsor Kaiser Permanente of Northern California. Kaiser and CORA share a belief that healthy families lead to healthy communities and that domestic violence is a public health issue, said Lukin. Kaiser has supported our mission in so many ways from adding domestic violence to their focus areas locally, to funding a major portion of our 24-hour hotline. said Melissa Lukin, CORA executive director. CORA is one of the most comprehensive service providers in the nation, with a combination of hotline, law enforcement collaborations, counseling, legal services, emergency shelter and transitional housing. CORA currently enjoys strong partnerships with federal, state, county and local government agencies, as well as solid relationships with state and local foundations and is continually increasing the number of individual donors who support its work. CORAs focus in 2008 is to develop strong corporate relationships to help address the problem of domestic violence on all frontsin the community at large, in the home and in the workplace. In total, more than 35 local businesses are supporting this event. Going forward, we will expand our base of corporate partners to raise awareness of the impact of relationship abuse and offer solutions to end it once and for all. Lukin said.

Countys Children Health Initiative celebrates five years

The San Mateo County Childrens Health Initiative (CHI) celebrated its fth-year anniversary June 27 with an appreciation dinner attended by over 180 staff from county agencies, schools and community-based organizations. The Childrens Health Initiative ensures that all children up to 18 in San Mateo County have access to comprehensive health insurance coverage and has caused the number of uninsured children in the county to decrease from 17,000 in 2001 to 3,000 in 2005, a reduction in the uninsured rate from 4.3 percent to 1.9 percent. Foster City resident Tina Jackson spoke to the audience about the difference that CHIs Healthy Kids coverage program has made in the life of her oneyear-old daughter, Kiana. Jackson recalled paying $700 for just one doctor visit during which Kiana was treated for an ear infection and given her immunizations. Jackson said, If we didnt have Healthy Kids, I just would not

If you put yourself out on behalf of others, theyll find you to be a most pleasant person they will want to know. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- When youre promoting or discussing something that interests you, youll enjoy being a big contributor to any group. If not, your enthusiasm and contentment will be halfhearted. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If youre willing to work
hard, youll be able to improve your material position in life. Remain dedicated, realistic and focused, because life is waiting to reward you.
27
BORN TODAy: If you remain persistent throughout the

year ahead, you will realize the harvest youre seeking. In fact, some of your greatest benefits and rewards will come from those things youll work the hardest to achieve.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Facts will come to your attention,

telling you a once unreachable objective might be within your grasp, especially if youre willing to go the extra mile. Review what itll take and then decide.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Dont be hesitant to assert yourself in situations that you feel warrant it. If you dont take control over events, youre not going to bring things to fruition. You must make life happen. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- A difficult situation that has

In order to properly weigh and balance things, you need to consider all contingencies.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- There is a big difference

between viewing things in the bright sunlight and merely seeing shadows. Look at life realistically, instead of letting it shade everything you touch.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If youre doing something for another strictly for the remuneration, you had better set the terms up front. If you dont, disappointment is likely. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- When it comes to social
situations, keep uppermost in your mind that they are for the purpose of simply relaxing and having fun. If you take yourself or events too seriously, you wont have a good time.

Gatzert previously denied the defense argument the warrant improperly invaded the condentiality of patients without a compelling reason. He requested more arguments, though, based on an April U.S. Supreme Court ruling which questioned if violation of state law renders moot federal search and seizure rules. Ayres is charged with 20 felonies stemming from seven alleged victims between 1991 and 1996. Dozens more made allegations but fell outside the statute of limitations. Accusations against Ayres have swirled since a former patient accused him of child abuse in 2003. Ayres settled the case in 2005 for an undisclosed sum and he was never The new zoning would affect three specic areas Village Center, Firehouse Square and Belmont Station. Ralston Avenue, Sixth Street, ONeill Street and El Camino Realbound Village Square. Firehouse Square is in the area of the old Fire Station 14 near Civic Lane. Belmont Station reaches from the train station east on the block bordered by Masonic Way and Ralston Avenue. The most signicant development would likely occur in the Belmont Station area. The underutilized area could become a district of unique shops and housing, according to the proposal. City officials are using cities like Burlingame, Mountain View and Berkeleys Fourth Street as example of what could be done in Belmont. charged criminally until the March 2006 search of his home and storage locker. As a result of publicity after the civil settlement, 10 alleged victims ultimately came forward but all were beyond the statute of limitations for both criminal prosecution and medical license suspension. Police were at their wits ends and seized the records as a nal effort, San Mateo Deputy Police Chief Mike Callagy previously told the court. Three alleged victims with the statute turned up which generated national publicity and another approximately 27 to 29 other victims, four of which also fell within the statute. Ayres practice included private clients and referrals from both the juvenile justice sysLeaders must decide what type of buildings they would want, how many housing units should be allowed per acre and how the buildings should appear from the street. The city has already prepared for some development with recent decisions. Earlier this year, the city moved the historic Emmett House from the citys retail hub near Ralston Avenue and El Camino Real to a nearby residential area. It also approved a plan that would allow property owners on the east side of Highway 101, near the citys corporation yard, to assemble their land for the possibility of a future large-scale development.

charges against Ayres. Gatzert was expected to take the matter under submission and rule within the week. Instead, he offered both sides his ruling and declined to hear further argument. The warrant is a key decision in the Ayres case. If the document was tossed, so would any charges directly stemming from the les it uncovered. Without those victims, the prosecution case is substantially weakened.
tem and school districts. He also became known as president of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and for hosting the sex education series Time of Your Life. Ayres received juvenile court referrals up through 2004. San Mateo police first began looking at Ayres in 2002 after a former patient accused him of molestation during the 1970s when he was 13. After a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the statute of limitations nixed criminal prosecution, the victim and Ayres reached a confidential settlement in July 2005. In a deposition for the lawsuit, Ayres reportedly admitted conducting physical exams of patients as part of his care.

downtown that attracts the all-important tax dollar. Its not a new idea, but one that has had little success. City leaders have discussed over the years ways to improve the heart of the city. A downtown plan passed in 1992 hasnt gone far and new plans would allow mixeduse developments that have ground-floor retail with residential units up to ve stories high. Retail would attract sales tax for the city and residential units offer developers and property owners financial incentive for rebuilding.

of mindless vandalism, said Miller. Miller unveiled plans to update elds and tracks at four schools Aragon, Capuchino, Hillsdale and Mills late last year. The plan called for each school to receive natural turf upgrades, new tracks, restrooms, drainage and safety improvements. School communities had the option of making up the cost difference roughly $500,000 if it wants to upgrade the renovation to synthetic turf. Mills went for natural turf. Anyone with information should call the Millbrae Police Department at 259-2300.
