The state budget plan to cut $350 million from the judicial branch means signicantly longer waits for civil trials and small claims cases, reduced service hours and priority given to criminal matters, said the administrative head of the local courts. County ofcials yesterday were still crunching numbers on how the $86 billion state budget passed Tuesday trickles down to local coffers.

The state previously announced a $200 million cut. Fitton said another $4 million is in the works for next year a total of $9 million. For a court with a $50 million annual budget, the loss is signicant, he said. The court workforce is down 25 percent and Fitton said he and other

Fire salaries
Base monthly salary for the new department is proposed to be: Fire chief $13,799 Battalion chief $8,812 Fire captain $7,809 Fireghter $5,233 Some reghters could earn as much as $7,436 a month depending on experience.
Belmont Mayor Coralin Feierbach is hopeful the new department will resemble the current one when it comes to its employees. Wed like to keep as many of the current reghters as possible, Feierbach said. The mayor, however, is not interested in competing with San Carlos over the current crop of reghters. Belmont hired Doug Fry to lead its new department. He retired as re chief from the Belmont-San Carlos Fire Department in May after nearly 35 years of service and is expected to stay on with the department into 2012 as the city looks for a permanent re chief. The re board set the new departments budget at $8.5 million at its June 8 meeting, with personnel costs accounting for $4.8 million of that. The city is bound to pay legacy
Belmont ofcials are set to establish a new salary and benets plan for a stand-alone re department come October that includes a 10 percent reduction in wages from what reghters currently make with the Belmont-San Carlos Fire Department. Retirement benets will also be skewed lower for new hires to the department, if the Belmont Fire Protection District board approves the plan at its July 12 meeting. Fireghters who possess previous service with the Belmont-San Carlos Fire Department will be eligible for the 3 percent at 55 formula benets package with the California Public Employee Retirement System. New hires, however, will only be eligible for the 2 percent at 50 formula for CalPERS benets. The salary and benets plan also covers overtime, special assignment pay, vacation, sick leave, holidays, medical care, retiree health, life insurance, dental, vision and work period policies. The average pay for reghters will be $5,233 per month, but some more experienced reghters can make $7,436 per month.
costs, however, related to the dissolution of the current department in October. Legacy costs include accrued vacation and sick time and other benets. The two cities provide re service currently under a joint-powers agreement. San Carlos sought to dissolve the agreement, however, after its share to fund the department went up signicantly under a formula that takes into account population, calls for service and assessed property value. San Carlos is currently forming a hybrid department in a partnership with Redwood City. Belmont, too, will also partner with Redwood City to share a re marshal and for training activities. Councilman Warren Lieberman, who pushed for keeping the current department intact, said the transition to form a stand-alone department will still not be easy despite the city and reghters working well together. It has been a tense situation for everyone, Lieberman said. There has been a lot of turmoil and anxiety but I think there is a lot of good will with the reghters going forward.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
San Bruno to decide Builder jailed for bad business practices on $40M school bond
November ballot looks to be heavy with similar measures in other districts
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Updated classrooms, covered walkways with solar panels and new technology are part of the goals the San Bruno Park Elementary School District hopes to achieve with a $40 million bond measure the board decided to put before voters in November. Wednesday evening, the district Board of Trustees voted 4-0-1, with Trustee Jim Prescott absent, to put a $40 million bond measure with a rate of up to $30 per $100,000 of a propertys assessed value on the Nov. 8 ballot. The board previously voted 4-1, with Prescott dissenting, to put such a measure on a special June 7 ballot. Since there was no state election, the board needed to vote to put it on the November ballot instead, said board President Jennifer Blanco. Such a tax requires a 55 percent passage rate. A bond measure could be used for
a number of projects such as the second phase of upgrades to P a r k s i d e Intermediate School, field and playground replacement and David Hutt repairs of underground infrastructure, said Superintendent David Hutt. The proposed project list also includes upgrading technology, investing in a solar and other energy-saving projects and replacing out-of-date systems. The district is currently funding a solar program to place panels on the rooftops at several sites. Using money from the previous sale of the Carl Sandburg school site, the work for this project is under way. The new bond would allow the district to further these efforts by adding cov-
The builder and former Green Building Exchange CEO accused of bilking two Pacica homeowners of thousands of dollars through incomplete home projects was sentenced to 18 months in jail and ordered to pay more than $400,000 in restitution. A prosecutor argued that Michael George Schaeffer, 52, deserved two years and eight months in prison but Judge Jack Grandsaert opted for a lesser jail term followed by three years of supervised probation. He must also pay one homeowner $269,231.33 and the other $132,813.00. Schaeffer, who had
been out on a $50,000 bail bond, was immediately taken into custody. A jury convicted Schaeffer April 15 of two felony counts of Michael diverting funds Schaeffer and misdemeanor counts of contracting without a license and accepting a down payment greater than $1,000. Prior to jury deliberations, the judge granted the defense request to dismiss two counts of felony grand theft.
Prosecutors say Schaeffer collected thousands of dollars for the two remodels but abandoned the projects before completion. One house was gutted to the point of being uninhabitable and another renovated without permits, according to the District Attorneys Ofce. Schaeffer made a splash in local sustainable building circles with his own contracting work and as CEO of the Green Building Exchange in Redwood City. A year after opening, the exchange led for bankruptcy, claiming nearly $1 million in debt, and moved out of Redwood City. Schaeffer is also facing a similar court trial in Santa Clara County.
An intoxicated, nude, frying panwaving Redwood City man who fought with police trying to subdue him wants mental health treatment rather than jail. Robert Filipovich, 29, pleaded no contest to felony assault on an ofcer and misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest and being drunk in public on April 9. He faces up to six months in jail but Judge Mark Forcum will also consider at a July
8 hearing sending Filipovich to the Pathways Mental Health Court program instead. Pathways is a treatment alternative to incarceration. Police arrested Filipovich after responding to the Beech Street residence he shared with a female roommate. The woman, who is black, said she returned home to find an intoxicated, naked Filipovich breaking items and screaming that he hates black people. When police entered the home, Filipovich ran outside to the drive-
way wearing an open robe and waving a frying pan. He fought with ofcers trying to arrest him, kicking and reaching for ones Taser, until being restrained with a Wrap. After his arrest, Filipovich reportedly asked ofcers to cut off his head. At the hospital, he screamed at nurses and masturbated, according to the District Attorney Ofce. Officers reported finding four empty liquor bottles in the home. Filipovich remains in custody in lieu of $40,000 bail.

votes to pass but only got three. Mayor Coralin Feierbach and Councilman Dave Warden voted against the increases. The San Bruno City Council Monday approved a status quo budget. Previous cuts remain in place, but no additional reductions are planned in the $31.89 million budget. San Bruno city ofcials are projecting expenditures to be $32.24 million. The $346,500 deficit will be covered using money saved in previous years, according to a staff report by City Manager Connie Jackson.

At his rst White House news conference in three months, lasting a little over an hour, Obama also called on Congress to renew a payroll tax cut that took effect on Jan 1, one of several steps he said lawmakers can take quickly to help reduce 9.1 percent unemployment. Although he declined to announce support for legalizing gay marriage, he defended his record on rights for homosexual Americans, saying he had done more to advance their cause than any of his 43 presidential predecessors. On the decit and economy, Obama said both parties must be prepared to take on their sacred cows as part of the negotiations, with Democrats accepting cuts in government programs. At the same time, he said any agreement must include increased government revenue. Attempting to blunt Republican criticism, he said he also wants to extend existing middle class tax cuts. The tax cuts Im proposing we get rid of are tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, tax breaks for oil companies and hedge fund companies and jet owners, he said.
WASHINGTON In a blunt challenge to Republicans in Congress, President Barack Obama insisted Wednesday that elimination of selected tax breaks for oil companies and the super-wealthy must be included in any decit reduction plan. You stay here. Lets get it done, he allbut-lectured lawmakers, holding open the possibility of keeping Congress in Washington unless there is significant progress by weeks end on a deal to cut decits, raise the $14.3 trillion debt limit and avert a threatened nancial crisis. He said a plan must be in place by Aug. 2, a date he called a hard deadline. Obama drew a swift rebuttal from House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who issued a statement saying, The president is sorely mistaken if he believes a bill to raise the debt ceiling and raise taxes would pass the House. The votes simply arent there - and they arent going to be there, because the American people know tax hikes destroy jobs.

LOS ANGELES For six years, California gave owners of hybrid cars the keys to the fast lane: permission to drive alone among carpoolers. Now hybrids are about to lose the special privilege that was intended as a reward for saving gas and protecting the environment. The vehi-
cles are no longer novel, their key-shaped yellow decals faded from the sun, and transportation ofcials want to make way for a new generation of even cleaner cars. Starting Friday, 85,000 hybrid owners have to get back in line with the gas guzzlers, the truckers and everyone else or face steep nes. They can join the rest of us in trafc and suffer, said Elijah Brumeld, of Torrance, who drives a Ford Expedition SUV.
State ofcials say the time has come to end the hugely popular incentive program introduced in August 2005 because theyve met their goal of getting drivers to switch to low-emission hybrids, which run on both electricity and gasoline. For some Southern California road warriors, using the HOV lane can cut their commuting time in half, but its an advantage normally reserved for cars carrying at least two or three people. Hybrid drivers who relied on the perk
dread the return to gridlock and stop-and-go trafc. Im really not looking forward to it, said Alan McAllister of Murrieta, who drives 55 miles each way to get to his teaching job at Fullerton College. Over the last couple of weeks, Ive been noticing me going 55 mph in the carpool lane and other people virtually at a dead stop. I cant believe Im going to sit in that again.

SPRINGDALE, Ark. A solution of chlorine was poured into a drum of acid inside a Tyson Foods Inc. chicken processing plant in Arkansas this week, creating chlorine gas that sickened more than 170 people, authorities said in a report obtained Wednesday by the Associated Press. About 300 workers were evacuated from the plant Monday morning in Springdale. Ten workers remained hospitalized Wednesday afternoon, none of them in intensive care, company spokesman Gary Mickelson said. A Springdale Fire Department report obtained by the AP says the plants safety director told authorities that a solution of chlorine had been poured into a drum of FreshFx LP, a mix of acids used for disinfecting. Mickelson would not comment earlier Wednesday on what chemicals created the

chlorine gas, which can cause respiratory problems up to sudden death. Company ofcials have said human error played a role in the accident. We believe we know what they were, but we dont want to speculate, Mickelson said. Experts said Wednesday that many chicken plants use water mixed with chlorine to cool and clean chickens before they are processed. Acid is added separately to the water to make the chlorine more effective. Adding chlorine directly to the acid can cause the mixture to expel gas, experts said. Any time you mix acid with chlorine, you
can generate chlorine gas, said John Marcy, an extension food scientist at the University of Arkansas Center of Excellence for Poultry Science. The drum of acid was found inside a small mixing room in the plant when authorities arrived at the plant after 9 a.m. Monday, the report says. The gas had spread through an area with a large number of employees, though all workers had been cleared, the report says. Authorities left at about 11:30 a.m., the report says. The plants work schedule was back to normal by Monday afternoon, Mickelson said. The report doesnt say how the leaks occurred. Authorities do not believe the incident was criminal, and Springdale police do not have an open investigation, police spokesman Lt. Kevin Lewis said. The Occupational Safety & Health Administration has opened an investigation that could take up to six months, an agency spokesman said.
DES MOINES, Iowa An animal welfare group that has used undercover videos to generate public outrage over the treatment of livestock said it now plans to use secret recordings to pressure large grocery chains to stop buying from farms that use practices it considers abusive. The effort seemed to be working as several chains viewed the video and then either halted purchases from the targeted Iowa hog farm or expressed concern even before Chicago-based Mercy for Animals formally unveiled the recording at news conferences planned Wednesday in four cities. Earlier this week, Mercy for Animals met with or sent letters to ofcials at Costco, Hy-
Vee, Kroger and Safeway and provided links to its 2 1/2-minute video, then asked them to stop buying pork from Iowa Select Farms. The group said it secretly recorded its video between April and June at an Iowa Select Farms operation in the small town of Kamrar, about 50 miles north of Des Moines. Nathan Runkle, Mercy for Animals executive director, said his group and others have used secretly recorded videos to raise public awareness, but this was among the rst major efforts to use such recordings to pressure retailers. The group previously used another video to convince Costco to change its policies dealing with veal obtained from an Ohio producer, he said. We are looking at grocery chains buying from this facility and asking them to implement stronger animal welfare policies, Runkle said. They have a responsibility to
make sure animals that appear on their store shelves are not mistreated. The group planned news conferences Wednesday in Seattle, Des Moines, Cincinnati and San Francisco, which are near headquarters for the four grocery chains. Iowa Select Farms is among the nations largest hog producers, with dozens of operations scattered throughout the state. Howard Hill, a veterinarian and the companys director of external affairs, said Iowa Select was looking into the video but believes the recording gave an inaccurate picture of their operation. Were currently in the process of investigating the whole thing, Hill said. We do know that a lot of this video is inaccurate, that it was staged. But until we get a full investigation done, were not going to make any specic comments about the video.
SILVER SPRING, Md. A panel of cancer experts has ruled for a second time that Avastin, the best-selling cancer drug in the world, should no longer be used in breast cancer patients, clearing the way for the government to remove its endorsement from the drug. The unprecedented vote Wednesday by the Food and Drug Administration advisory panel
comes less than a year after the same panel reached the same conclusion. The six members of the FDA oncology drug panel voted unanimously that Avastin is ineffective, unsafe and should have its approval for breast cancer withdrawn. I think we all wanted Avastin to succeed but the reality is that these studies did not bear out that hope, said Natalie Compagni-Portis, the lone patient representative on the panel. The vote is not binding and FDA
Commissioner Margaret Hamburg will make the nal decision sometime after July 28. The drug is approved for multiple cancers and will still be available for breast cancer, though insurers are expected to drop coverage if it loses FDA approval. The FDA began steps to remove Avastins breast cancer approval in December, but Roche took the rare step of appealing that decision and lobbied the agency and Congress for a second hearing.

Israeli algorithm sheds France armed Libiyan civilians new light on the Bible

JERUSALEM Software developed by an Israeli team is giving intriguing new hints about what researchers believe to be the multiple hands that wrote the Bible. The new software analyzes style and word choices to distinguish parts of a single text written by different authors, and when applied to
the Bible its algorithm teased out distinct writerly voices in the holy book. The program, part of a sub-eld of articial intelligence studies known as authorship attribution, has a range of potential applications from helping law enforcement to developing new computer programs for writers. But the Bible provided a tempting test case for the algorithms creators.
PARIS France acknowledged Wednesday that it airlifted weapons to Libyan civilians fighting Moammar Gadhafis forces in a besieged mountain region south of Tripoli, becoming the first NATO country to do so in a major escalation in the international campaign. The bold move was likely to draw criticism from countries leery of the allied use of force in Libyas civil
war like China and Russia and crossed a threshold in hopes of a breakthrough in the protracted NATO-led mission. The deliveries of guns, rocketpropelled grenades and munitions took place in early June in the western Nafusa mountains, when Gadhas troops had encircled civilians and his government refused a U.N request for a pause in the ghting there to allow access for a humanitarian aid shipment, French military spokesman Col. Thierry Burkhard said.

Crowded county jail faces inmate cap
The countys overcrowded jails was running the risk of legal action for unt conditions and a cap on inmates that could have kept some offenders from serving complete sentences, former sheriff Don Horsley said the week of July 1, 2006.

OPINION
hen auto and homeowners insurance companies propose excessive rate increases, California state officials can reject them. But California has a big loophole when it comes to health insurance. State officials can review health insurance premiums and attempt to cajole insurance companies to reduce unreasonable increases. But they have no power to reject them, as their counterparts in other states can. The Assembly has done its part to change that, passing Assembly Bill 52, by Assemblymen Mike Feuer, D-Los Angeles, and Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael. Now its up to the Senate. A key Senate Health Committee hearing occurs Wednesday. The bill has strong support from two Democrats on the committee, Sens. Lois Wolk of Davis and Mark DeSaulnier of Concord, who co-authored the bill. The stance of Chairman Ed Hernandez, D-West Covina (Los Angeles County), an optometrist, will be key. He has supported similar legislation in the past but has not yet signaled his position on AB 52. To see why California needs AB 52, consider this recent example. Anthem Blue Cross announced a proposed May 1 rate
Other voices
increase for 120,000 members. State officials reviewed the increase and announced in April that it was unreasonable. Yet Anthem went ahead with the increase anyway. All state officials could do was send out a press release to publicly express our disappointment that Anthem Blue Cross didnt lower the rates as we requested. Thats cold comfort, indeed, for customers who saw an average increase of 16 percent. In other states, rates have to be approved before an insurance company can use them. Its not as if California would be stepping out as the first state on this. Doctors and hospitals have expressed concern that the bill will, in effect, lead to private-industry regulation of medical practice that is, lower reimbursements for their services. Oregon, which has a long history of authority to approve health insurance premium rates, has written to the Senate Health Committee dispelling that fear. We have no evidence that our rate review process has been detrimental to providers, states a June 21 letter from the Oregon Insurance Division Administrator. But the power to reject rate increases has allowed Oregon to promote greater stabili-
ty in rates, a big plus. A Kaiser Family Foundation report last December corroborates this. After reviewing the experience of the states, the report concluded that states with prior approval authority over rates appear to be better positioned to negotiate reductions in rate requests filed by carriers. Opponents in the health insurance industry are trying to label the bill as price controls. But that is simply false. The bill does not cap premiums. The experience in other states shows how the process would work. When an insurer requests a rate increase, the state looks at the cost of medical care, past rate changes, the companys financial position, actual and projected claims, premiums, administrative costs, and profit. If the insurer can show that the new rate is reasonable in relation to the benefits provided, it gets approved; and, if not, well, the state can reject it. The insurer has to come back with a new proposal. Will AB 52 alone solve the issue of rising health care costs in California? No. But it will help in the current, heavily concentrated market. Hernandez could be the hero in getting AB 52 through the Senate despite the opposition of big, well-financed interests that seek to stop momentum in the states at California. Other states already have acted. California should, too.

12,261.42 Wednesday. The Standard & Poors 500 index rose 10.74, or 0.8 percent, to 1,307.41. The Nasdaq composite rose 11.18, or 0.4 percent, to 2,740.49. Financial companies in the S&P 500 rose 2.1 percent after Bank of America Corp. reached an $8.5 billion settlement with investors over claims it sold them bad loans. The investors said Bank of America violated agreements with them by selling them low-quality mortgagebacked securities that lost value when the housing market collapsed. Much of the losses stem from BofAs 2008 purchase of the troubled lender Countrywide. Bank stocks also got a lift from news that the Federal Reserve plans to limit the fees banks can charge retailers for swiping debit cards to 21 cents. Thats higher than the 12 cents the Fed rst proposed. Relief that Bank of America settled with investors sent the lenders stock up 3 percent. Bank of America is still down 24 percent over the past year, far more than any other major U.S. bank. It was the third and largest settlement Bank of America has struck this year over mortgage investments.

NEW YORK Stocks closed higher for the third day in a row Wednesday after Greece cleared a hurdle toward getting more emergency loans. Financial stocks rose after Bank of America reached a settlement with investors over failed mortgage securities. Greek lawmakers passed an austerity bill that brought the country closer to getting a nancial backstop it needs to avoid defaulting on its debt. A default by Greece would shock global markets and freeze lending to other heavily indebted European countries. The $17 billion relief package from international lenders does not eliminate the possibility that Greece will default, but it does buy Greece and other European countries more time to repair their budgets. The hope is that through the passage of time and slow improvement of nances, markets will become a little more forgiving, said Wasif Latif, a vice president at USAA Investment Management.

NEW YORK Bank of Americas $8.5 billion settlement with investors is the largest any bank has ever paid. It might help assuage worries about how deep the banks mortgage problems might be and how long it might take to settle them. But for the nations largest bank and its CEO Brian Moynihan, the slate is far from clean. The payout settles claims by just 22 investors who said Bank of America Corp. sold bonds based on substandard home mortgages. The bonds fell in value
when the housing market collapsed and left the investors with losses on $424 billion worth of mortgages. The $8.5 billion settlement eclipses the last three years of earnings at the Charlotte, N.C. bank. The uncertainty about just how bad Bank of Americas mortgage issues might be has scared investors and led to a 31 percent decline in Bank of Americas stock price since January of last year when Moynihan took over. This is a major step forward for our company, Moynihan said in a conference call with investors on Wednesday. Wall Street is cheering the move, sending the stock up 3 percent, to $11.14
Wednesday. It has been one of the worst performing stocks in the S&P 500 index in the past year. But that rally could be short-lived. Analysts say the $8.5 billion is about double the amount theyd expected. The bank continues to ght other investor groups that are demanding similar settlements. Lawsuits from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, bond insurers MBIA and Syncora Holdings linger. And Bank of America is likely to be ordered to pay a hefty portion of the estimated $20 billion multi-bank settlement over the mishandling hundreds of thousands of home foreclosures.

Justin Timberlake part of group buying MySpace
LOS ANGELES Justin Timberlake apparently wasnt satised with just playing a social media impresario in the movies, so now hes becoming one in real life. The pop star, who played Napster co-founder Sean Parker in The Social Network, a movie about Facebook, has joined Specic Media in buying its downtrodden rival, MySpace, from News Corp. in a deal that closed Wednesday. Timberlake will have an ofce at MySpaces Beverly Hills headquarters and a staff of about a half dozen people working for him around the clock developing his ideas for the site, said Specic Media CEO Tim Vanderhook. The partners are set to unveil their plans for reviving the agging site in a couple of months. When we met with Justin and we discussed what our strategy was, we hit a chord with him, Vanderhook told the Associated Press. One of his passions is he really enjoys helping other artists and creating a community for people to really express themselves. I think we were blown away that we were able to get someone like Justin to be so excited about what we were doing. The deal is for $35 million, mostly in Specic Media stock, according to a person familiar with the matter.

HEIDELBERG, Germany When 11year-old Lauren Cheney and her teammates went to watch the United States play Nigeria at the 1999 World Cup, they brought along playbooks so they could write down what they would do when it was their turn on soccers biggest stage.
Hard to imagine they drew it up any better than what Cheney did Tuesday. Cheney scored in her first World Cup appearance, giving the United States its rst goal of the tournament and turning what had been an uncomfortably tight game into the kind of condent and creative performance that has made the U.S. the worlds most dominant team the last two decades. With their 20 victory over North Korea, the Americans are
atop Group C and could book a spot in the quarternals as early as Saturday. This is what we live to do, Cheney said Wednesday. We play because of this tournament, because of this stage.

There are solid wins. There are good wins. And then there are those Ws that fall slightly above those two categories San Mateo Palomino manager Lenny Souza likes those kind of wins the best. This was a great league win, he said. Im really happy. You have to play a great team to get a great win, and thats exactly what the White Sox had in front of them Wednesday afternoon at Aragon High a All-Star Academy All-Star team led by Division I talent up and down the roster. But San Mateo put together a great performance behind the pitching of Pierce Precht
and Julian Garcia, plus the timely hitting of Nick Morehead and Mark Hurley to beat the Broncos 7-2. Precht pitched 5-plus innings before handing the ball over to Garcia, who left the bases loaded in the sixth and surrendered a single in the seventh. For the game, the two combined for only six hits this against a solid Mountain View lineup. Pierce proved that he can pitch to and beat the best teams, Julian has really stepped up as the closer, Souza said. We had really timely hitting, a couple of baserunning mistakes, but other than that, it was a pretty good baseball game. The Broncos put pressure on the White Sox rst. In the top of the third, Mountain View
turned a hit batsmen, a single and a wild pitch into a pair of early runs. Nikko Saenz picked up an RBI single in the frame to support Rudy Silva on the mound, who was a strike-throwing machine for the games initial part. The White Sox got to Silva in the third after he unexpectedly lost his feel of the strike zone and walked two hitters in the inning. The rst walk, to Morehead, turned into the lone run of the frame when Mitch Foley grounded out to second. San Mateo would leave the bases loaded in the inning. But they caught a bit of break when Silva did not come out to pitch the fourth, and took advantage of that when John Coloma led the
HAMBURG, Germany If Wladimir Klitschko thought he was going to get a glimpse of David Hayes boxing style on Wednesday, he must have been disappointed. After warming up at a public training session, the Briton threw just one punch before leaving the ring, stunning a crowd that included his Ukrainian rival in a much anticipated heavyweight ght Saturday. Haye showed no interest as Klitschko started his workout, chatting with TV reporters before leaving the training center in Hamburg
with his entourage. After his full-hour session, Klitschko told the Associated Press he was getting fed up with his opponents childish antics. I cant even take it seriously. Its not even funny anymore, said the 35-year-old IBF and WBO champion. You can trash talk a certain time, but as I said, reality is coming ... and its serious business. It wont be funny for David Haye. The two ghters have traded some fairly strong insults, even by heavyweight boxing standards, in the lead-up to the ght. Haye, the WBA champion, has worn a T-shirt showing the severed heads of Klitschko and his older
brother Vitali. In one of his latest taunts, Haye said he was more worried about getting knocked out by Germanys E. coli outbreak than by Klitschko, who has a 55-3 record with 49 KOs. Haye, a 30-year-old former unied cruiserweight champion, said he believes his presence has made the heavyweight division more interesting, especially among American boxing fans. Their message is get Wladimir out of this division because hes killing it, Haye told the Press Association on Wednesday. Its only

Cubs 2, Giants 1
The Cubs scored in the bottom half of the ninth on Aramis Ramirezs pinch-hit single for a 2-1 victory Wednesday night that ended the Giants seven-game winning streak. We won the game. Thats the most important thing, Dempster said. A nice win after losing a doubleheader yesterday, to come back and go out there and win a game against a tough pitcher like that. Quade said he wanted Dempster to get the win and go the distance, if possible. I wanted to give him a shot. A walk or an extra-base hit in that situation, and I think I got to get Marmol in the game. A single? Maybe you let him try to pitch through it, at
CHICAGO Ryan Dempster wanted to stay in the game. He had only thrown 83 pitches, given up three hits, was ahead 1-0 in the ninth inning and had retired 20 straight hitters at one point. Dempster was pitching his best game of the season while winning a duel with two-time Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants. Cubs manager Mike Quade still made the move for closer Carlos Marmol in the top of the ninth after Dempster gave up a leadoff double to pinch-hitter Pat Burrell. Marmol yielded a game-tying single to Emmanuel Burriss but then pitched out of a bases-loaded jam.
least another hitter, Quade said, adding he knew Dempster wanted to finish. I dont blame him, short of fighting me. Its a whole different animal if the pitch count is higher. He wants to finish the thing, and I want to bring a guy in that situation who is there regularly. Deep down, I dont want him losing that game, in spite of the pitch count. He didnt get a win. Thats not going to take away from the performance. In the bottom of the ninth, Sergio Romo (3-1) gave up an infield single to leadoff batter Tony Campana, who moved to second on Reed Johnsons sacrifice. After a groundout moved him to third, Ramirez hit an 0-2 pitch to left to win it.
OAKLAND, Calif. Ricky Nolasco pitched a ve-hitter, Hanley Ramirez and Logan Morrison homered and the slumping Florida Marlins showed signs of life in a 3-0 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night. Nolasco (4-5) overcame a shaky start for his rst win in more than a month, which came the last time the Marlins were in the Bay Area against San Francisco. He struck out three and walked two for his fth career complete game. The homers by Ramirez and Morrison off starter Guillermo Moscoso (2-4) were the rst by Florida in eight days. The Marlins improved to 4-23 in June, by far the worst month in franchise history. Oakland was held scoreless for the ninth time this season.
The offensive power came after an unusual team meeting led by interim manager Jack McKeon. The 80-year-old turned the clubhouse into a classroom for about 15 minutes before batting practice, even using a bat as a prop while he delivered his speech to hitters. He made his players chuckle with tales about former As owner Charles Finley when McKeon managed Oakland from 1977-78 and gave more instruction than motivation. We had an educational meeting, McKeon said. It wasnt one of my usual, Go get em, babies. It was educational, how weve got to go about it. Whatever the reason, the Marlins nally started to swing the bats. Ramirezs drive in the rst inning landed over the 400-foot sign in straightaway center eld for his rst home run since May 21 and it put Florida ahead 2-0. Morrison added a
solo shot to right in the fourth to give the Marlins a three-run lead. Florida backed Nolasco with some splendid defense. Mike Stanton made a running catch of Cliff Penningtons soaring shot up against the wall in right eld just as his glove slammed into the padding. Second baseman Omar Infante hopped over a broken bat to eld a ground ball by Hideki Matsui in the third. The closest the As came to touching Nolasco came early. Pennington and Coco Crisp had consecutive one-out singles in the rst, moving to second and third on Matsuis yout. After Conor Jackson walked to load the bases, Ryan Sweeney ied out to center. Oakland never mounted another serious threat. Moscoso struck out a season-high eight and gave up four hits in six innings.
CHICAGO Among the age-old traditions at Wrigley Field, throwing back home run balls hit by visiting players is right at the top of the list. San Franciscos Miguel Tejada got quite the surprise after hitting a ninth-inning homer in the opening game of a doubleheader Tuesday. Tejada hit a pitch from John Grabow into the left-eld bleachers and before he could get back to the dugout the ball was waiting for him compliments of a strong-armed fan. The Giants beat the Chicago Cubs 13-7 and went on to sweep. The fan near the front of the seats made a leaping, barehanded catch and red it back onto the eld, the ball bouncing past Tejada as he trotted between second and third base. Miguel Tejada I didnt see the ball, Tejada said. I was just excited to run the bases. Its been a long time. I dont want to step on the ball because Im not looking up, Im looking down. The shot snapped a streak of 225 at-bats without a homer, the longest drought of his career. Tejada, who has 302 career home runs, last went deep on April 8 against the St. Louis Cardinals. The ball eventually trickled over the rstbase line toward the Giants dugout. On-deck hitter Aubrey Huff batted the ball backward to Cody Ross, who picked it up and ipped the souvenir to Tejada, who stuffed it into his back pocket. What an arm, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. I gure hed get signed today, did he? After that, he might be in somebodys bullpen. I didnt know if somebody threw it or somebody shot it. That was quite an arm to reach our dugout.

WIMBLEDON, England For two superb sets Wednesday, everything looked so routine for Roger Federer, precisely the way it did for so many years at Wimbledon and nearly everywhere else, too. Little comes easily for Federer anymore, even at the All England Club, where hes won six of his record 16 major championships. Before Wednesday, Federer was 178-0 when taking the rst two sets of a Grand Slam match. Now hes 178-1. Facing a younger, quicker and betterserving opponent, Federer failed to make his big lead stand up and lost 3-6, 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to 12th-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France in the quarternals. Federer leaves Wimbledon in that round for the second consecutive year, after reaching seven nals in a row from 200309. Nevertheless, Federer sounded deant in defeat, saying he played well against Tsonga and is sure he denitely can add to his Grand Slam collection, even though hell turn 30 in August. When I was 20, I would have been
crushed: I cant go on; Ill never get another chance to be in a quarternal of a Grand Slam. But today, I know that I should probably have lots more, said Federer, who lost in the French Open nal Jo-Wilifried earlier this month. I Tsonga dont have that mental stress. I know what Ive accomplished already. Its different when youre older and youve accomplished as much as I have. The third-seeded Federers loss preRoger Federer vented the 125th edition of Wimbledon from being the rst since 1995 with the four top men in the seminals. The other favorites all won Wednesday, though not without some difculty: No. 1 Rafael Nadal numbed his injured left foot with a painkilling injection then beat No. 10 Mardy Fish of the United States 6-3, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4; No. 2 Novak Djokovic was a break down in the third set but reeled
off seven games in a row to get past 18year-old qualifier Bernard Tomic of Australia 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5; and No. 4 Andy Murray pulled up awkwardly after tweaking his hip changing directions on one third-set point but otherwise breezed past unseeded Feliciano Lopez of Spain 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. There are other players that are able to play great tennis, and Tsonga has proved it today, said Djokovic, who would replace Nadal at No. 1 in the ATP rankings by reaching the nal. Its all very close at this level, especially in the second week of a Grand Slam. In Fridays seminals, Tsonga will face Djokovic, who is 46-1 in 2011, the only loss coming to Federer at the French Open. Defending champion Nadal will play Murray, who hopes to give Britain its rst mens title at the All England Club in 75 years. Although Fish thought Nadal moved well against him and showed no sign of injury, the 10-time major champion said: My foot is not ne. But we are in quarternals of Wimbledon. Is an emergency, so I had to play. Nadal is on a 19-match winning streak at the grass-court Grand Slam, and is 312 since the start of the 2006 tournament; both losses were against Federer in nals.

he said, Oh my gosh, Lauren, Abby just got hurt. Its bad. I said, Oh, shes dramatic. Shes ne, totally ne. Ten minutes later, Cheneys phone rang. It was Wambach, calling from the ambulance to say Cheney needed to start packing. She said she knew that I could do it. And that I deserved it, Cheney said. To have Abby tell me she thought I belonged there, it made me feel comfortable going in. Her role in Beijing would be much different than she was used to, however. At UCLA, she was a star. She had led the Pac-10 in points and goals as a freshman, and nished second in voting for the Hermann Trophy soccers equivalent of the Heisman as a sophomore. Her name was a given in the starting lineup, and everyone knew shed be getting the ball. In Beijing, Cheney would be a role player. NBC wouldnt be doing a sappy, pre-game feature on her. Shed be coming off the bench if she got in a game at all. The 08 experience, it humbled me completely, Cheney said. I wasnt going to be a star, I wasnt going to be even remotely close to a starter. But I could encourage everybody else. I could make them better players just by being there. That was the rst time Id ever really done that. I learned how to be a teammate instead of just playing. It taught me how to work even harder, too, she added. You want to work harder for your teammates. You want them to be the best they are when theyre starting, when theyre playing. The lessons Cheney learned in Beijing have stayed with her, even as shes become an increasingly important part of the U.S. team. Though she occasionally found herself back in the starting lineup last season as Wambach recovered from an Achilles injury, most of her appearances have come off the bench. Rather than moping about a supporting role, Cheney relishes the education its given her. I actually embraced that role because I get to gure out whats going on in the game rst before I go in. So when I go in, I know exactly what I need to do and how I can switch the game, she said. Starting is extremely different.

beginning. Not only that, you have to gure it out on the eld. But Cheneys sharpness in training impressed Sundhage enough that she started the 23-year-old against North Korea. It was Cheneys rst start since March. Its so important to create an environment where youre ghting for that spot, Sundhage said. Its not been just one or two practices. Consistently, for a while, shes been ghting for that spot. Cheney was relentless in the attack, repeatedly peppering North Korean goalkeeper Hong Myong Hui. Hong managed to corral all of Cheneys shots until the 54th minute, when Wambach sprinted up the left ank, turned a North Korean defender around with a nifty step and then served up a perfect cross that Cheney headed into the net. The goal erased all the nerves the Americans had been feeling, and they dominated the North Koreans the rest of the game. It may not have been a 7-1 rout like Cheney and her friends saw back in 1999. But the Americans were the only team in the tournament to win their opening game by more than one goal, and they easily could have tacked on another two or three. That feeling is surreal, Cheney said. To be on the eld, its just pure joy.

Hurley would later steal third and score an insurance fun on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Mitch Labbie. Theres a lot of good players in our league, but Mark has to be in that top echelon, Souza said. Hes a stud. Marks one of the best players weve had on any White Sox team. He can play. Hes just tearing it up routinely. We just want to get him up with runners on. The Broncos loaded the bases in the top of the sixth with Precht out and Garcia pitching. But they could not put a dent in their deficit.
scoreboard. Go out and force a 10-run mercy stoppage. Any other retaliation whether hitting one of their players with a pitch, attempting to spike them or run over the catcher at the plate, will accomplish nothing. In fact, take it too far and, you could be looking at police action and for many of the players, they are past the point of simply being slapped on the wrist and released to their parents. Lavezzo said Nery will have to miss about two more weeks to be completely healthy and his words to Nery apply to everyone else in the program who may be out for justice: Theres more to life than baseball. *** Twelve years ago, womens soccer catapulted into the mainstream about the time American Brandi Chastain ripped off her jersey following her game-winning penalty kick goal that sealed the Americans second Womens World Cup championship. Since then, the U.S. has disappointed by its lofty standards by not winning a Womens World Cup in the two ensuing competitions. The Americans hope to snap that streak this

inning off with a single. After an error and a sacrice bunt, Coloma found himself at third with Morehead at the plate and a chance to tie the game. My approach (was) get a rst pitch, maybe get one I could hit to centereld, get it over his head and get that run in, Morehead said of his at-bat. After that rst pitch though, my approach was to go up the middle and do what I can to get that run in. What he did was rip a single to left eld that scored Coloma easily, tying the game at two. The White Sox threatened to score more, but hit into a rally-killing double play to end the frame.
I was honestly expecting those guys to come back with something eventually, Souza said, theyre just a well-coached club, those guys have played together since they were 12 years old, they know what theyre doing. Thats a good club and were happy to beat them. San Mateo added three more runs on only one hit in the bottom of the sixth as Mountain View started the inning with three walks and an error. Hurley would double once again to pick up another RBI and put the game well out of reach for the Broncos.

*** Ive documented my road to changing my body and tness in this space, but Im nowhere near what fellow Daily Journal sports writer Julio Lara has gone through. For the last 18 months, Lara himself has been in body-transformation mode. All that work has paid off huge as Tuesday he realized he is within nine pounds of reaching his weight-loss goal: With nine more pounds, Lara will have lost an astounding 100 pounds. Yes, 100. Making his accomplishment even more impressive is the fact he basically did it on his own. No personal trainer, no dietician. All of it through hard work and dedication. Congratulations Julio. Great job and a great inspiration to those making the same journey.

the tournament and it left Las Vegas almost immediately in an attempt to prevent any retaliation at the hotel where both teams were staying. Lavezzo said the Boise manager, Mike Sutcliffe, brother of former Major League pitcher Rick Sutcliffe, has called daily to check on Nerys health and also to inform the Shockers the player responsible for the elbow had been suspended. I think theyre really genuine, calling to see how [Nery] is, Lavezzo said. The sad thing is, this may not be over. The Shockers 17-and-under program, the Bulldogs, are playing in a tournament in Reno this weekend. Their rst game? Against that same Boise team. A word to all players in the Post 82 program: let it go. The best way to retaliate is to go out and drub them on the eld, on the
year in the latest installment of the Womens World Cup currently going on in Germany. The U.S. is off to a decent start, with a 2-0 win over North Korea, which, as of this writing, was the largest margin of victory in the tournament thus far. What Ive found more impressive, however, is the overall play of most of the teams. Ive actually watched many of the games thus far not appointment viewing, but it beats watching the local news all morning long. Wednesday, for example, Australia gave Brazil all it could handle before the Brazilians scored late. The same could be said of Norways 1-0 win over Equatorial Guinea. The Norwegians scored in the nal ve minutes and their celebration was one of relief, more so than joy. Even North Korea, which is ranked No. 8 in the world, gave the No. 1-ranked Americans ts during the rst half when it actually out played the U.S. Many casual fans wonder why the U.S. women havent won a World Cup since that iconic 1999 moment. All they have to do is watch this World Cup and realize the rest of the world has caught up.

During his brief workout, Haye shaped up with an uncharacteristic southpaw stance in an apparent attempt to play mind games with Klitschko, who was watching ringside with his brother, the WBC titleholder. When his coach brought out the pads, Haye threw just one punch before taking a bow and leaving the ring. Klitschko was not impressed. I think he sits in the room in the hotel and he thinks: What else can I do to anger the Klitschko team, Wladimir said.

BRADENTON, Fla. The NFL lockout has prevented Marcell Dareus from cashing in on turning pro, so he mows his godfathers lawn in exchange for a place to stay. Other rookies are low on dough, too. Von Miller sleeps in the same room he had in high school. Anthony Castonzo makes deliveries for his parents restaurant. And Aaron Williams does ranch work, throwing hay and xing barbed-wire fences. Acres and acres of land; youre always moving, Williams said. But its better than sitting on your butt playing Xbox. These are odd times for NFL rookies, and more than 150 of them gathered for a symposium sponsored by the players association that concluded Wednesday. This incoming class is unlike any other, because the lockout has indenitely delayed that rst pro paycheck. Guys are hurting for money right now, said quarterback Christian Ponder, a rst-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings. Its a crazy time, especially with the uncertainty of when were going to start and get some money in our pocket. To make the situation even more gloomy for players just out of college, the league is pushing for a rookie wage scale as part of a new collective bargaining agreement. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and players association chief DeMaurice Smith spoke to the group Wednesday but offered no indication as to when the 4-month-old labor dispute might end. Negotiations are ongoing, but with training camps scheduled to open in about three weeks, the season remains in jeopardy. You come out of college with plans of making big money, and everything goes on hold, said Dareus, the third overall pick by the Buffalo Bills. It grinds you. Dareus, a 320-pound defensive tackle from Alabama, said he earns his keep while living in Birmingham with his godfather.

As with most herbs, harvesting a few sprigs or leaves at a time is enough for most recipes. If you own a deck, patio or terrace that offers a bit more space, vegetable boxes might be the perfect solution for a manageable garden. They are available at most DIY stores or garden centers and are often made from rot resistant cedar. Vegetable boxes have the advantage of holding larger volumes of soil and thus can accommodate more plants than a pot or window box.

Budget provisions
Taxes and fees: Adding a $12 annual fee increase on vehicle registrations to raise $300 million for Department of Motor Vehicle services.The departments costs previously were covered by a voter-approved increase in the vehicle license fee increase that expires July 1. Imposing a $150 annual fee on homes in rural areas to raise $50 million in the coming scal year to pay for wildre protection from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Requiring online retailers such as Amazon.com to collect California sales taxes,a change Democrats project will net $200 million annually. Converts 1.06 percentage point of the 7.25 percent state sales tax to a local sales tax. This will raise $5 billion to cover a realignment that transfers tens of thousands of lower-level offenders from state prisons to county jails. Part of the realignment also will be funded by redirecting $453 million of the states vehicle license fee from the Department of Motor Vehicles.The DMV budget will be partially restored through the additional $12 vehicle registration fee.Consumers still will pay 1 percentage point less in state sales tax beginning Friday because the temporary increases to the sales and vehicle taxes expire. Additional spending cuts: $150 million to the University of California, on top of a $500 million cut in March. $150 million to the California State University,on top of a $500 million cut in March. $150 million to the state courts system,on top of a $200 million cut in March. $310 million in savings from delaying court construction projects. Revenue assumptions: $4 billion in higher tax revenue projections from the governors estimate in May and an additional $1.2 billion to reect higher current-year revenues from a recovering economy.That is on top of the $6.6 billion in higher revenue the governor projected in his May revision. $1.7 billion by eliminating about 400 community redevelopment agencies and requiring them to make contributions to local schools should they want to continue to operate. About $3 billion in savings by delaying payments for one year to public schools and community colleges. The cuts that will be triggered during the middle of the year if tax revenue falls short of assumptions: If revenue falls $1 billion to $2 billion short,there will be another $600 million in cuts. That will include $100 million to the University of California system; $100 million to the California State University system; $100 million to the Department of Developmental Services; and $100 million to the in-home services program. The remaining savings would come from library grants,corrections,community college fee increases and other programs.The remaining shortfall of at least $400 million would be deferred into the next scal year. If revenue falls $2 billion to $4 billion short,there will be another $1.9 billion in cuts.That will include a savings of $1.5 billion from public schools by giving local districts the option of cutting the school year short by seven days,a roughly $250 million cut from school bus transportation and $72 million from community colleges. Potential challenges: Anti-tax groups are threatening to sue because the Legislatures Democratic majority is poised to approve fee increases without a two-thirds majority vote. Republicans question the revenue projections. Local governments and agencies plan to sue in the state Supreme Court over the restructuring of redevelopment agencies.

were signed by Brown yesterday. Some cities have been prepping for the states action by committing RDA funds to new projects, particularly for affordable housing. The state hopes to realize about $1.7 billion annually by restructuring about 400 redevelopment agencies across the state. The state is looking at cities to bail them out by downloading responsibilities to lower levels, Redwood City Mayor Jeff Ira said yesterday. This continuing ongoing saga shows complete incompetence by the governor and state lawmakers. They are desperate. Ira also described state lawmakers as stupid, inefcient and wasteful. San Mateo Finance Director David Culver called the states action illegal and the mayor said the states move will limit job creation at the local level. I think San Mateo is a sterling example of how RDA funds should be used, Mayor Jack Matthews said. San Mateo has used RDA money to revital-
ize downtown and to help fund new affordable housing and ofce projects near the Hayward Park Caltrain station in recent years. San Mateo has already lost more than $4 million in RDA money to the state and is set to lose another $4.3 million, Matthews said. Theyve managed to wiggle around the law to raid our funds, Matthews said. Somehow theyve managed to get to our money through technicalities. Matthews hopes the courts will side with cities over the state in this battle. RDA money is one of a citys biggest tools in creating jobs, said Foster City Finance Director Steve Toler. Killing RDAs will almost cut off the engine that drives economic development, Toler said. Toler is also concerned new governance, if a city does decide to keep RDA activities intact with the passage of ABX1 27, will hurt the citys effort to create affordable housing in recent years. A successor agency might try to undo some of the work weve done, Toler said. San Carlos Assistant City Manager Brian Moura said his city supports the League of California Cities and the California Redevelopment Associations plan to le suit against the governor and the Legislature for their illegal and unconstitutional actions. be among the moves. Brown promised voters during his campaign for governor last year that he would not impose tax increases without a vote of the people. He had hoped to ask Californians to extend for up to ve years a series of temporary increases in the sales, vehicle and income taxes approved by the state Legislature in 2009. But he needed two GOP votes in each house of the state Legislature to put that measure on the ballot, and after six months of talks he announced this week that he had lost that battle. The last of those tax increases will expire Thursday. With this years budget debate behind them, Browns fellow Democrats are deciding what type of tax increases might prove more palatable to an electorate that is generally reluctant to tax itself. Among the ideas are an additional tax on the

approved Tuesday night is only the starting point for a larger political ght to come. In true California style, it will be up to voters to decide the biggest issue the governor promised but failed to deliver this year an increase in taxes to help end the states ongoing budget mess. Voters almost certainly will be asked to weigh in on one or more tax proposals in 2012, as well as whether to institute a strict cap on state spending. Public employee unions and anti-tax groups already are gearing up for an intense year of proposed reforms, although its unclear whether one of the Republicans top priorities changes to the public pension system will

Homegrown lettuce is so tasty and tender for salads. Its also coldhardy, so can be enjoyed almost year round, the earliest salad xings coming from transplants that begin as seeds sown indoors in winter, and the latest ones from plants sheltered beneath plastic or glass tents. But special tricks are needed to pick lettuce from the garden now, when its hot. This time of year, lettuce tends to bolt that is, to flower and make seeds. Once a flower stalk starts pushing up through the whorl of leaves, those leaves turn bitter and tough. Actually, avor plummets even before the stalk becomes evident. Keep a close eye on your lettuces, and youll see that the leaves undergo a slight color change from shiny, vibrant green to dull, slightly bluish green. Like any plant or animal, lettuce has to reach a certain age before it can make seeds and reproduce. So one obvious way to keep your salad bowl lled with tasty lettuce is to keep sowing seeds so you always have young plants to eat. I plant lettuce about every three weeks all summer. Just a little at a time, though, because three weeks after you start eating one planting youll be eating the next sowings harvest.
Spring and fall lettuce rarely bolt because,although the plants might be old enough to go to seed,the days are just too short.
Lettuce also bolts in response to the combination of long days, dry soil and hot temperatures. Spring and fall lettuce rarely bolt because, although the plants might be old enough to go to seed, the days are just too short. You cannot do anything about summers long days, but you can do something about water and heat. Start by always planting lettuce in soil well-enriched with compost, leaves, straw, manure or some other organic material. They all help soil to hold moisture. Also water regularly, which anyway makes lettuce taste better. Lettuce needs the equivalent of 1 inch of water a week, measured into a rain gauge or some other straightsided container. If Mother Nature
doesnt provide water, you do it: once a week with a sprinkler, which takes about an hour; or spread through the week with a drip irrigation system. Yes, you can also do something about the temperature. Just as you cool off by moving out of the sun, so can lettuce. The plants tolerate shade this time of year, so cobble together a temporary wooden or plastic frame for supporting cheesecloth, wooden lathe or some other material that offers about 25 percent shade. Or let your garden space do double duty, and grow lettuce in the dappled shade of cucumbers, squashes, gourds, tomatoes or pole beans trained up stakes or an inclined trellis. Or plant lettuce near the cooler, eastern side of your house or garage. Frilly and red-leafed Lolla Rosa is one of a few lettuce varieties pretty enough to decorate a ower or shrub bed; the dappled shade beneath the other plants will keep Lolla Rosa from bolting, for a while at least. And speaking of varieties, genetics also plays a role in how fast plants bolt, so plant those that are slower to do so. Among the best for growing in sultry summer weather are Blackseeded Simpson, Buttercrunch, Kagran Summer, Salad Bowl, Red Salad Bowl, Oakleaf, Deertongue, Diamond Gem and Graquerelle du Midi.

in 2012. The program was passed in December by the board, which said it hoped other states would follow suit since Congress had failed to pass national climate change legislation. This would not affect the stringency of the program or change the amount of emission reductions that the program will achieve, keeping us on track to meet the 2020 target required by AB32, Nichols said. Cap and trade is the key piece of the Californias 2006 climate law called AB32 and will cover 85 percent of the states worst polluters. Nichols said the state would still initiate the regulatory framework for cap and trade in 2012, pending the outcome of an appeal of a lawsuit challenging the program. In general terms, Californias cap-andtrade program works by requiring companies that produce pollution, such as a utility or a renery, to buy permits from the state that allow it to send a specied

ofcials will do everything they can to prevent pink slips. The state Administrative Ofce of the Courts is looking to see if it has any funds to soften the latest $150 million blow but even so there will be at least $6 million taken from the San Mateo County Superior Court, Fitton said. As a result, the court must prioritize criminal matters with time restrictions which will place the brunt of the hits on civil matters. Small claims will take six months instead of 60 days, civil trials could take two to four years for resolution and even child custody disputes might run upward of 18 months. The court wont have closures or furloughs unless mandated by the state but visitors should expect longer lines and shorter hours. Although the courts will prioritize criminal cases, the cuts can have a domi-

Just in case, special enforcement will be in place throughout the weekend leading up to Monday, July 4, she said. Groups are selling the fireworks deemed safe and sane throughout San Bruno through the Fourth of July. While the sale supports local nonprots, and is in the spirit of celebrating American independence, it is also a time when calls to police and re agencies increase. Many of the accidents that occur while using reworks can be avoided by following the safety directions on the packaging, Fire Chief Dennis Haag said. For example, put fireworks into a bucket with water after use because the fireworks are hotter than one might expect. Placing them in a trash can could

In order to advance a personal ambition in the coming months, it might become necessary to enter into some kind of partnership arrangement, even a unique alliance. Selecting the right person will be crucial.
CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- Its nice of them to of-
fer, but dont let associates attempt to do something for you that you feel you can do better, especially if it involves a matter that needs a personal touch. LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There is a strong chance that an unusual development might arise that could affect your material well-being if youre not on top of
it. Heed your instincts in handling the matter. VIrGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- When you select your companions, choose those who are your equal intellectually. Dont consider anyone who cant keep up with your thinking and is nothing but a drag. LIBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Impressive objectives are reachable, but only if youre prepared to pay whatever price you must in order to achieve them. Unless you focus on success, you could easily be deterred. sCOrPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- In order to win over supporters as well as have possibilities for success, your intentions must be clearly spelled out in advance. Tell it like it is, warts and all. saGITTarIus (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A matter or project in which youre involved can be further adjusted to potentially provide much greater rewards. Study it
closely before you go off in a direction where theres no turning back. CaPrICOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- As long as youre realistic, you should be able to renegotiate a matter of significance. You may not get everything you want, but you might be able to rework it a bit. aQuarIus (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- When planning your day, you should put fun and games at the bottom of your list, not at the top.

It might be one of those times. arIes (March 21-April 19) -- Instead of concentrat-
ing only on negative factors, trust that something good is on its way that could benefit you in needed ways. Its a development that unites, not divides. Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- In order to help you operate with greater efficacy, your personal affairs might need to be reorganized a bit. Study your modus operandi to see what it is that needs some tweaking. GeMInI (May 21-June 20) -- Seek out those friends or associates who really believe in you and in what youre doing if you think you need some financial or business advice.
