Massage rules rub city wrong way

San Carlos City Council considers ban to combat prostitution


by cities to install sinks and walls. They dont mind doing or paying for w h a t eve r Greg Rothaus [building officials] ask them to do so they can get open, said Greg Rothaus, San Carlos Patrol Bureau sheriffs captain. Since 2009, when the state took over massage therapist licensing from individual cities, Rothaus said his city has a growing number of applications and those tell-tale signs pointing to prostitution and possibly human trafficking. At least one establishment has led to arrests and Rothaus on Monday night will ask the City Council to ban all new businesses to keep more at bay. We dont have a problem yet but a moratorium can get us some time to do something that closes the loopholes and do something thats fair to legitimate massage businesses, Rothaus said. We want to call time-out on this. The proposal would allow existing locales to renew their permits as long as all therapists have valid, unconditional certicates from the nonprofit California Massage Therapy Council. To obtain a certicate, a person must pass a background and identity check and complete 250 hours of training. The state established the council in 2009 to free practitioners from background checks and license fees

There are some tell-tale signs that a massage establishment might be offering clients more than a legitimate rubdown, according to San Carlos top police ofcial. There are codes, sometimes specic actions like leaving cash out on top of a customers pants and operators who dont blink an eye at the permit fees or costly requirements

POTTER MANIA

Seven have applied to fill the vacancy on the San Mateo Union High School District Board of Trustees created by the May election of Dave Pine to the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors. Applications turned in this week resulted in seven contenders: Rhonda Collins, Marc Friedman, Elizabeth Frykberg, Jose Gonzalez, Michael Loy, Robert Mason and Charles Zelnik. The board will hold a special meeting Thursday, July 14 to interview applicants and appoint a new trustee. Pines four-year term was scheduled to end this November. Rather than hold a special election, the appointed person will ll the position for the remainder of the term, Superintendent Scott Laurence said previously. There are some new and familiar names among the applicants. Friedman and Loy both led to run in the 2009 election for the board against current trustees Linda Lees Dwyer, Peter Hanley and Robert Grifn. Loy, an Aragon High School graduate and 63-year San Mateo resident, served on the Aragon PTO for a number of years. The general contractor by trade has worked with the Measure M Citizen Oversight Committee, charged with overseeing 2006 voter-approved bond money and served on the district committee to identify surplus property. Friedman, who previously served two terms on the Burlingame Elementary School District, decided to run in 2009 noting his youngest

First 5 readies for cuts

KORE CHAN/DAILY JOURNAL

A possible $15.5 million funding loss to services for children 5 and under means First 5 San Mateo County is planning for the worst but rst gathering public opinion. Part of Californias recently signed budget includes Assembly Bill 99, which requires First 5 Commissions throughout the state to send $1 billion in reserve funds to the state by June 30, 2012. For San Mateo County, such a cut would mean a $15.5 million loss. While lawsuits were led to stop the loss, First 5 San Mateo County is planning for the worst cutting $15.5 million from a nearly $60 million long-term investment plan through 2015. To give stability to programs, the goal is to make the decision about possible local cuts by September. In the meantime, community meetings are scheduled to gather input before decisions are made. We need to plan with the factual information we have now, said Debby Armstrong, First 5 San Mateo County executive director. Armstrong remains hopeful the lawsuit, scheduled for a late August hearing, will eliminate the need for the cuts. At the same time, the judge has 90 days to respond which could result in an additional 60-day appeal

THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME
by David L. Hoyt and Jeff Knurek

Vice President Aaron Burr mortally wounded former Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton during a pistol duel in Weehawken, N.J. In 1767, John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States, was born in Braintree, Mass. In 1798, the U.S. Marine Corps was formally re-established by a congressional act that also created the U.S. Marine Band. In 1859, Big Ben, the great bell inside the famous London clock tower, chimed for the rst time. (The clock had been keeping time since May 31.) In 1864, Confederate forces led by General Jubal Early began an abortive invasion of Washington, D.C., turning back the next day. In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt became the rst incumbent chief executive to travel through the Panama Canal. In 1936, New York Citys Triborough Bridge (now ofcially known as the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge) linking Manhattan, Queens and The Bronx was opened to trafc. In 1952, the Republican national convention, meeting in Chicago, nominated Dwight D. Eisenhower for president and Richard M. Nixon for vice president. In 1960, the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee was rst published by J.B. Lippincott and Co. In 1979, the abandoned U.S. space station Skylab made a spectacular return to Earth, burning up in the atmosphere and showering debris over the Indian Ocean and Australia. In 1989, actor and director Laurence Olivier died in Steyning, West Sussex, England, at age 82. Ten years ago: The Senate joined the House in voting to bar coal mining and oil and gas drilling on pristine federally protected land in the West, dealing a fresh blow to President George W. Bushs energy production plans.

Royal couple at last event on California tour
LOS ANGELES The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wrapped up their trip to Southern California on Sunday by visiting an inner-city school in downtown Los Angeless notorious Skid Row area and attending a job fair for veterans. Prince William and his wife Catherine were welcomed to the Inner City Arts academy by six elementary-aged children holding a welcome banner while a crowd of about 150 people cheered and looked on, some waving British and American ags. Kate, as she is better known, wore a navy-and-white crochet top and a white pleated skirt, both by U.K. fashion company Whistles. Cynthia Harnisch, the academys president and chief executive ofcer, spoke to the couple about Skid Row and the challenges of poverty and homelessness faced by many students at the school. The duke and duchess were then escorted to a visual arts studio where they donned art smocks and sat at easels to paint. A group of teenage dancers then performed for the couple, who appeared to enjoy the show. Fifteen-year-old Iliana Samaniego, who was in the troupe, said she was thrilled when William gave a double thumbs up and told them brilliant at the end of the performance. glitzy parts of Southern California that the couple has seen on their whirlwind visit. On Saturday, William scored four goals at a charity polo match and earlier Sunday he attended a swanky reception to raise money for Tusk Trust, an African wildlife conservation group. Their nal stop before departing for the U.K. was with the group ServiceNation: Mission Serve, which aims to help veterans nd jobs. Inside the events venue, Studio 15 on the Sony Pictures Studio lot in Culver City, giant U.S. and British ags hung behind a stage where the smiling duke addressed a cheering crowd. All the companies and employers taking part today are providing opportunities which mean something very immediate and personal to us, he said. Catherine and I both have friends back in Britain who could benet from a brilliant initiative like this. The soundstage hosted a job fair for military veterans, with employers such as Mattel, Walmart and entertainment industry companies such as Warner Bros. and CBS manning booths. The companies must have jobs in order to participate in the fair, said Ross Cohen, Mission Serves director. Cohen, who served in Afghanistan and was an army paratrooper, events such as the job fair were crucial for returning veterans. Unemployment rates for young vets and their spouses are as high as 25 percent, Cohen said.

Early automobile development


The steam engine is an external combustion engine. Its development goes back as far as the rst century, however, the development of the rst piston steam engine didnt occur until 1690. Invention of its application was slow but many insights into the use of energy to help mankind get places and build things were progressing. In the 1700s, James Watt made great strides in perfecting the steam engine. The steam engine used coal or wood at rst to generate the steam, which needed to be produced in a huge container in the early stages of development. Problem: It was too big and cumbersome for most desired uses. Eventually, automobiles were built using smaller engines but the startup was time-consuming and expensive. Most of the autos being built were one of a kind and, because of this, were expensive. The average working man made only between $300 and $400 a year and most prices of autos were much higher. The auto became a status symbol because only rich people could buy them. In 1885, Karl Benz invented the rst automobile using many of the concepts of the steam engine without the steam. Petrol was found to be a great improvement over running

the pistons for an automobile but the steam engine concept persisted and the race was on as to what type of engine would succeed in being the main type of locomotion for the roads. People liked the freedom of driving and wanted a reliable and inexpensive form of vehicle to do this in. Many people jumped on the bandwagon to produce something that would catch on. In the early 1900s, more than 1,000 businesses sprung up to supply an automobile for the public. Over the years, cars like the Cord, Stutz, Franklin, Maxwell, Pierce-Arrow, Duesenberg, Hupmobile, Olds, Chevrolet, Ford, Studebaker, etc. became

Who Are private HEROES ? How Firefighters Set Example


By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Firefighters are public HEROES! In the way that members of our Military travel to foreign war zones and risks their own lives in the name of preventing terrorism and in the way our Police Officers enter a sketchy part of town to apprehend suspects whove harmed others and may do more harm the same goes for our Firefighters who are trained to enter potentially explosive situations to prevent the spread of fires and rescue those caught in hazardous peril. These public HEROES touch our lives on a daily basis, most times without our knowledge. Our general safety and well-being can be attributed to the day to day actions of our public HEROES. With the recent joint-funeral for the two San Francisco Firefighters who died in the line of duty it is important to acknowledge their lives and say thank you. These public HEROES had a natural inclination to help others above their own selves. Their efforts to serve the public were of great value, and that value is to be remembered and admired. Just like we learn from the funerals of our public HEROES, we can learn from the funerals of those who have touched our personal lives our private HEROES. Family, friends, local acquaintances and even those we know of but dont know personally have the ability to affect us in ways we may not be consciously aware. We ourselves also have the potential to affect the lives of others in ways were not aware. A single act of kindness; the opening of a door; a caring gesture; a supportive word; an offer to help; volunteering in a service club; etc. all set examples for others to emulate and absorb as a part of their own life-experience. Both public HEROES and private HEROES enrich our lives and help us as individuals to be little bit better. When ever we attend a funeral (the deceased being present) or memorial (the deceased not being present) we always learn about how the deceased affected the lives of others. Also, our attendance not only shows the family that we care, but in a positive way can affect the familys healing process. To us what may seem a small caring gesture may be an enormous life moment to the person we are affecting. We never know how we affect the lives of others but its a fact that we do so every day. These kind acts, unconscious and conscious, along with other small acts potentially make us each a private HERO in the eyes of those weve affected. It doesnt matter how minor youve touched somebodys life it matters that they were able to take something away and enrich their own life with your kind act. Just like public HEROES whose actions affect our daily well-being, private HEROES have the power to positively affect the lives of their family, friends, and those they interact with on a daily basis. When our work on earth is done and our lives conclude we each can be remembered as a private HERO for the way we touched the lives of those weve left behind. If you ever wish to discuss cremation, funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650) 588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you in a fair and helpful manner.

Such information is exciting to the professors and professionals at CSM. This is a big deal in many ways, said Coordinator of the Astronomy Program Mohsen Janatpour. For students, both those pursuing a degree and gain insight to an interest, the access to information will be important, he said. And, its a unique opportunity not often given to a community college. Funding Alvarezs trip took effort. Half came from partners and the others came from private donations, including some from the colleges administration, Janatpour said. Darryl Stanford, professor of astronomy and physics, elaborated that should this pilot work, it could open the door to many other research-based partnerships. Its really, really exciting. Education is expanding the work were doing. And were building on it, said Janatpour.

Facebook used to annoy child


By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A 19-year-old Millbrae man was arrested Friday for contacting a minor using his fathers work computer with the intent to engage in a sexual offense, San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe told the Daily Journal Sunday. He is being charged with a felony and two misdemeanors, Wagstaffe said. Michael Alexander Darro was released after posting a $20,000 bail Friday night and is due back in court Aug. 9, Wagstaffe said. He was arrested after the parents of a 9-year-old Millbrae girl contacted police about inappropriate

sexual messages being sent to her through the girls Facebook account. A search warrant issued to comb through the Internet protocol address from where the messages were sent indicated the computers owner was the mans father, John Darro, a former Millbrae Elementary School District trustee and City Council candidate. Michael Darro allegedly used his fathers computer at work to send the messages, Wagstaffe said. The younger Darro still lives with his parents and is unemployed, Wagstaffe said. It is unclear whether Darro was using his fathers Facebook account to send the messages. It was not an ongoing conversa-

tion, Wagstaffe said. He sent a couple of messages. One of the messages allegedly read can we meet up for sex, according to an affadavit. When arrested, Darro allegedly told police he sent the messages to show the parents of the young girl how dangerous the Internet can be, Wagstaffe said. Darro has no prior offenses and is also being charged with child annoyance. Wagstaffe praised the girls parents for keeping an eye on her computer activity.

Swatch from moon-bound ag unsold


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES It was one small step for man, and one small price that just wasnt enough. A strip of fabric shorn from the American ag before it went to the moon with Apollo 11 astronauts pulled in a top bid of $60,000 at a Los Angeles auction on Sunday, but didnt meet the auction houses minimum reserve price of $95,000 and was not sold. For now it will stay in the possession of owner Tom Moser, the

retired NASA engineer who rescued it from the trash in 1969. When youre dealing with a unique item theres no way to anticipate either value or interest, so its really a blind item, said auctioneer Michael Orenstein. I would say we established a market. Orenstein had earlier expressed hope that the strip from what he called the most-viewed flag in American history along with a photo bearing Neil Armstrongs autograph would fetch $100,000 to $150,000.

Orenstein said sometimes there would be minimal interest in an item then, I put it in the next sale and it goes wild. Thats the nature of the auction business. Other items at the space-themed auction met or surpassed expectations including a Collier trophy the so-called Oscar of aviation that was awarded to the crew of 1962s Mercury 7 mission and sold Sunday for $12,500. Orenstein said the auction as a whole was a big success with a 95 percent sell-through rate.

Few answers in Caylee Anthony case


By Tamara Lush
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Many of the thousands who followed the Casey Anthony trial did not get the guilty verdict they wanted, nor did they learn the truth about what happened to the 2-year-old daughter she was accused of murdering. And for the public, that may be one of the most frustrating parts of the case: Despite all the speculation and theories, they will never know how or why Caylee Anthony died. I think we know as much as we ever will know, said Beth Hough, a 27-year-old administrative assistant from Chicago who followed the trial. We dont know exactly what happened, but if we did, it would help people to nally just move on and to end the story. Thats whats missing: an ending. And because were so used to neatly packaged, hour-long TV crime dramas where the bad guy is usually put behind bars, the fact Anthony could be convicted only of lying to police has left people unsatised. And they have been vocal about their dismay, turning to Twitter

and Facebook to vent their frustration. So whats left? Some fuzzy defense claims that little Caylee drowned and that her grandfather tried to make an accident look like a homicide. One of the quite healthy and appropriate satisfactions we get out of a well-functioning justice system is the belief that the justice system will give us the best answers to questions, said Doug Berman, a law professor at Ohio State University. A little girl ended up dead in the woods near her grandparents home with duct tape over her mouth, and her mother didnt report her disappearance for more than a month. But how did Caylee die? Thats where it gets complicated. The defense said Caylee drowned in the familys swimming pool. Prosecutors couldnt say how Caylee died because the girls body was too decomposed to harvest DNA or other forensic evidence. So the state relied on circumstantial evidence: the trunk of Caseys car smelled like a dead body to some witnesses; someone did an internet search for chloroform a chemical that can be used to knock some-

one unconscious at the Anthony home; and there was duct tape on Caylees skull when it was found six months after she was last seen in June 2008. If we dont know how Caylee died, we cant assign responsibility for the factors that led to her death. So theres no justice, said Maryann Gajos, a 51-year-old mother of two and a sixth-grade reading teacher in Inverness, Fla. Watching all of these crime shows has spoiled all of us. In TV shows, the coroner always has the answer. But in this case, the coroner didnt have the answer. Dr. Jan Garavaglia told the jury that Caylee had been murdered, but she couldnt establish exactly how she died from only a skeleton. And in the life-imitates-TV irony of this case, Garavaglia is also the star of her own reality TV show on Discovery Health Channel called Dr. G: Medical Examiner, in which she solves cases through autopsies. Its frustrating that they cant come up for a denitive reason for this girl dying, said Sherri Cohen, a self-employed photographer from Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Threat forces United ight to divert to Chicago
CHICAGO A United Airlines flight from San Francisco to Frankfurt, Germany, has been diverted to Chicago after a threat was found in a bathroom. United spokesman Charles Hobart says in an email that Flight 926 landed at OHare International Airport about 1 a.m. Sunday. The flight was searched, cleared and allowed to continue on to Germany. Hobart says a crew member found a sticker with a threatening message in a bathroom and the plane was diverted in an abundance of caution.

One of the victims has been identied as the resident of the apartment, 36-year-old Michael Anderson. Also killed was 19-yearold Dante Deloney of Oakland. The third victim has not been identied. Richmond police Capt. Mark Gagan told KCBS radio that detectives are holding and questioning a suspect about the shooting.

Alhambra ofcer dies after cruiser collision


ALHAMBRA Authorities say a police ofcer has died and another ofcer is in serious condition after their cruisers collided at an intersection in Alhambra. Alhambra Police Lt. Edith Lopez says the crash happened early Sunday as the officers were responding to a possible robbery at a downtown business. Paramedics rushed both victims to an area hospital, where one of the ofcers later died. The names of the ofcers were not released. More details are expected following an afternoon press conference by Chief Mark Yokoyama. According to broadcast reports, one ofcer may have run a red light, but ofcials could not conrm that.

Three dead in Richmond apartment shooting


RICHMOND Three men are dead and a suspect is being questioned after a shooting in a Richmond Housing Authority complex Saturday. Police say when ofcers arrived at the complex around 5 p.m. they found the three men dead inside an apartment.

ALCATRAZ ISLAND When night fell on The Rock in San Francisco Bay visitors moved shadow-like through the former prisons lantern-lit hospital rooms, a gloaming against dingy walls with peeling blue paint. A hard wind whooshed and rattled a window in the hospital cell where Robert Stroud, The Birdman of Alcatraz, spent 11 of his 17 years when this was the dankest, hardest federal prison in the U.S. Yet, most of the more than one million tourists who visit the famous former prison never get to experience Alcatraz Island at night or see its spooky, decrepit hospital experiences unique to the night tour. At dusk the island prison that housed some of the nations most notorious criminals including Al Capone and the recently rearrested James Whitey Bulger, who was on The Rock for bank robbery from 1959-1963 is often enshrouded by fog, and the lamps on the

grounds emit a ghostly glow. The difference from the daytime tour is apparent from the start. The ferry from San Francisco motors slowly around the west side of the isle, passing decrepit buildings surrounded by Alcatraz new residents: black Brandts cormorants, Western gulls and the other birds that have made their home there since U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy shuttered the prison in 1963. This is a little eerie, said Gerard Lang, 28, who was visiting from Covington, Kentucky. You kind of feel like youre heading to prison yourself. After leaving the boat visitors begin a winding ascent past the prisons ofcial sign, where a faded Indians Welcome written in red

paint is still visible, remnants of the Native American occupation of the island in from 1969 to 1971. The island became a national park in 1972. Youre following in the footsteps of every federal prisoner who ever came here, said Eric Knackmuhs, a Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy guide. Passing the guano and rust covered buildings that once housed the families of prison guards, the parks employees tell of a failed Friday the 13th 1939 escape attempt one of many escape attempts recited in gripping detail that are not included on the daytime tour. Once inside the prison the audio tour features stories from exinmates and former prison guards in their own voices. The tour leads visitors through D Block, or solitary confinement, where you can stand inside a dark cell and listen to the voices of inmates who spent time there. Close your eyes and you can sense the isolation, the desperation.

for a cool summer!

Shuttle docks with space station


By Marcia Dunn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. As the miles melted between Atlantis and the International Space Station, the emotions grew in orbit and on the ground. At Mission Control on Sunday, lead flight director Kwatsi Alibaruho declared this is it as he gave the OK for the nal docking in space shuttle history. Flashbacks to the shuttles very rst space station docking with Russias Mir in 1995 ooded his mind as viewed the shuttle on the screens. He was a NASA trainee back then. About 240 miles above the Pacific, the stations naval bell chimed a salute one of many landmarks, or rather spacemarks, of this nal two-week shuttle mission that are being savored one by one. Atlantis arriving, called out space station astronaut Ronald Garan Jr. Welcome to the International Space Station for the last time. And its great to be here, replied

shuttle commander Christopher Ferguson. Cries of joy and laughter lled the connected vessels once the hatches swung open and the two crews 10 space iers altogether representing three countries exchanged hugs, handshakes and kisses on the cheek. Cameras oated everywhere, recording every moment of the lastof-its-kind festivities. Atlantis, carrying a years worth of supplies, is being retired after this ight, the last of the 30-year shuttle program. I wont say that I got close to welling up in the eyes, but I will say that it was a powerful moment for me, Alibaruho later told reporters. He tried to keep his feelings discreet so as not to distract his team of ight controllers, but said, I know they were all feeling very similar emotions, thinking about where weve come from, how much weve accomplished ... whats coming next. Alibaruho said the moment was also powerful for the 10 people in space for the docking: six

Americans, three Russians and one Japanese. You could sense a palpable increase in emotion from all of the crew members, not just our U.S. astronauts, he said. They were extremely happy and really elated to see their visitors, and I know that they really recognize and appreciate the signicance of these moments. A computer failure aboard Atlantis took away some of the redundancy desired for the rendezvous, but did not hamper the operation. Within a few hours, though, news came that NASA was monitoring a piece of space junk that could come dangerously close to the orbiting shuttle-station complex on Tuesday right in the middle of a spacewalk. Mission management team chairman LeRoy Cain stressed it was still too soon to know whether the unidentied object would truly pose a threat, and that a decision would be made Monday as to whether the linked spacecraft would have to move out of harms way.

U.S.suspends military aid to Pakistan


By Douglas Birch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Obama administrations decision to suspend $800 million in aid to the Pakistans military signals a tougher U.S. line with a critical but sometimes unreliable partner in the ght against terrorism. President Barack Obamas chief of staff, William Daley, said in a broadcast interview Sunday that the estranged relationship between the United States and Pakistan must be made to work over time, but until it does, well hold back some of the money that the American taxpayers are committed to give to the countrys powerful military forces. The suspension of U.S. aid, rst reported by The New York Times, followed a statement last week by Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, that Pakistans security services may have sanctioned the killing of Pakistani journalist Saleem

Shahzad, who wrote about inltration of the military by extremists. His battered body was found in June. The allegation was rejected by Pakistans powerful military establishment, including the InterServices Intelligence Agency, which has historic ties to the Taliban and other militant groups and which many Western analysts regard as a state-within-a-state. George Perkovich, an expert on Pakistan with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, said Mullens comments and the suspension of aid represent the end of happy talk, where the U.S. tries to paper over differences between the two nations. Daley, interviewed on ABCs This Week, suggested the decision to suspend military aid resulted from the increasing estrangement between the U.S. and Pakistan. Obviously theres still a lot of pain that the political system in Pakistan

is feeling by virtue of the raid that we did to get Osama bin Laden, Daley said. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told reporters traveling with him to Afghanistan on Saturday that the U.S. would continue to press Pakistan in the ght against extremists, including al-Qaidas new leader, Ayman al-Zawahri. We have to continue to emphasize with the Pakistanis that in the end its in their interest to be able to go after these targets as well, Panetta said. And in the discussions Ive had with them, I have to say that, you know, theyre giving us cooperation in going after some of these targets. Weve got to continue to push them to do that. Thats key. The U.S. has long been unhappy with Pakistans evident lack of enthusiasm for carrying the ght against terrorists to its tribal areas, as well as its covert support for the Taliban and anti-Indian extremist groups.

Hypnotist principal faces questions after 2 suicides


By Mitch Stacy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NORTH PORT, Fla. High school principal George Kenney acknowledged using hypnosis to help people: students who needed to relax before tests, a basketball player having trouble making free throws and even school secretaries who wanted to quit smoking. But now the popular 51-year-old principals future at North Port High School is in question since it came to light that he had hypnotized two students before their separate suicides this spring. There is no indication their deaths were any more than a tragic coincidence. However, Kenney acknowledged conducting the sessions after being warned by his boss to stop such one-on-one hypnosis with students at school. Most students, teachers and fellow administrators at the southwest Florida school were aware that

Kenney was a trained hypnotist who would eagerly help those who sought him out for sessions, according to a school district George Kenney report. Students looked forward to his demonstrations in a psychology class and at other school events. In April, according to the Sarasota County School District report, he hypnotized a 16-year-old student to help him better focus on a test. The next day, the boy committed suicide. Kenney was put on leave in May. His situation then got stickier when an investigation showed that he had also hypnotized another student ve months before her May 4 suicide, initially lied about it and had deed three separate verbal warnings to stop the sessions with students.

Some troops may stay in Iraq longer


By Robert Burns
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD From one war front to another Sunday, Pentagon chief Leon Panetta hopped from a U.S. outpost in Afghanistans southern desert to Baghdad, where he sought to encourage Iraqi leaders to decide soon whether they want a residual American military force beyond years end. He refused to say whether the Obama administration wants the extension, but he expressed concern at a spike in U.S. deaths caused by what American ofcials believe are sophisticated explosive devices made in Iran. Panetta prepared for talks Monday with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and other senior members of a government politically divided more than a year after national elections. Iraq has gone that long without defense or interior ministers, whose departments are responsible for the military and police. The approximately 46,000 U.S. troops remaining in Iraq are to depart by the end of 2011 under an agreement negotiated in 2008 by the Bush administration, which went to war in 2003 to topple Saddam Husseins

government. Asking even a few thousand to stay longer carries political risk, leaders in both countries say. A signature pledge of President Barack Obama 2008 election campaign was to get the U.S. out of Iraq. For Iraqis fed up with violence, a longer U.S. presence looks like a formula for further strife. The Associated Press reported on July 5 that the White House is offering to keep up to 10,000 troops in Iraq next year, despite opposition from key Democrats who demand that Obama bring home the troops as promised. Panetta spent Sunday afternoon at Camp Dwyer, a dust-choked U.S. outpost in southern Afghanistan. He pinned Purple Heart medals on two Marines, had lunch with young ofcers, got a glimpse at an Army Black Hawk medevac unit and quizzed an Afghan army ofcer on commanding a unit that specializes in detecting land mines and roadside bombs. The 73-year-old Panetta, on the job since July 1 after 2 1/2 years heading the CIA, appeared to hold up well under the intense heat. But at one point he seemed to lose track of his latest job switch. In a pep talk to a group

of Marines, he said he has always valued public service, from his time in the Army in the 1960s to eight terms as a congressman and his years in the Clinton White House, and now as director of the CIA. At issue in Baghdad is whether the Iraqi government will request that the U.S. negotiate a troop extension. The scheduled departure of virtually all U.S. troops by Dec. 31 will leave the country with signicant gaps in its ability to defend its own airspace and borders. Panettas predecessor at the Pentagon, Robert Gates, visited Iraq in April to push for an early decision and make clear that Washington believes an extension is in both countries interest. Panetta, however, seemed less willing to commit to a residual force. Speaking to reporters before boarding his plane for the ight to Iraq from Camp Dwyer in southern Afghanistan, Panetta was asked whether he intended to encourage the Iraqis to request an extension. Ill encourage them to make a decision about what they want, he replied, leaving open the question of what the White House would accept.

Libya shows tough face against rebel mountain push


By Adam Schreck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GHARYAN, Libya Moammar Gadhas regime sought Sunday to show it remains in control of parts of the countrys western mountains and will defend the territory against further rebel advances there. The Nafusa mountains southwest of Tripoli have become a key battleground in the rebels ght to oust the longtime Libyan leader, with small bands of ghters inching clos-

er to the capital by seizing villages along major roads snaking across the rugged highland terrain. Forces loyal to Gadha are also battling rebels on two major front lines to the east of the capital, but neither side has been able to mount a major push. Journalists based in Gadhafis stronghold of Tripoli were taken by government ofcials Sunday to the mountain gateway town of Gharyan and the nearby town of al-Assabaa, where they were shown armed civil-

ians and government troops who vowed to defend their land. All the people here, like other Libyans, they are armed, said Hamooda Mokhtar al-Salem, a top government ofcial in al-Assabaa. A portrait of Gadha was perched on the table in front of him, and a Kalashnikov rie rested against the wall. We are ready to ght to protect our land, our leader ... our children. NATO cannot scare us, he told reporters. A crowd outside the government

building where he spoke chanted pro-Gadha slogans and shot bursts of automatic re into the air. The towns lie down a mountain road not far from a village rebels said they seized last week. Gharyan is the bigger of the two and is the last mountain town along a highway that leads straight to the capital Tripoli, just 50 miles (80 kilometers) to the north. In Gharyan, a small group of women practiced ring automatic rifles and unloading grenade

launchers. They were far outnumbered by visiting journalists. Tripoli-based foreign journalists are routinely accompanied by government minders whose presence makes it difficult for people to speak freely. Government-arranged trips tend to be carefully orchestrated. Still, there were signs of resistance in Gharyan. In numerous spots, grafti appeared to be hastily painted over apparently covering anti-government slogans.

U.N.: Somalia drought is worst humanitarian crisis


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DADAAB, Kenya The head of the U.N. refugee agency said Sunday that drought-ridden Somalia is the worst humanitarian disaster in the world after meeting with refugees who endured unspeakable hardship to reach the worlds largest refugee camp. The Kenyan camp, Dadaab, is overowing with tens of thousands of newly arrived refugees forced into the camp by the parched landscape in the region where Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya meet. The World Food Program estimates that 10 million people already need humanitarian aid. The U.N. Childrens Fund estimates that more than 2

million children are malnourished and in need of lifesaving action. Antonio Guterres, the head of UNHCR who visited Dadaab on Sunday, appealed to the world to supply the massive support needed by thousands of refugees showing up at this camp every week. More than 380,000 refugees now live there. In Dadaab, Guterres spoke with a Somalia mother who lost three of her children during a 35-day walk to reach the camp. Guterres said Dadaab holds the poorest of the poor and the most vulnerable of the vulnerable. I became a bit insane after I lost them, said the mother, Muslima Aden. I lost them in different times on my way. who inherited power from his father in 2000. While Assad himself has acknowledged the need for reforms in recent weeks, the high-level call for multiparty democracy was remarkable.

OPINION
the actions of those who carry on in such ways. Trouble is, these days the more shameful some people are, the more attention they get in the media. Makes you want to ask how many of these men profess faith and attend religious services regularly. So what is behind the arrogance, the obsession with themselves, the lack of character and self-control? Possibly when they were young, they were put on a pedestal never receiving the discipline and direction they needed. As Twenge and Campbell asked in their book, The Narcissist Epidemic: Were they showered with unearned praise, protected from their teachers criticisms, given expensive automobiles, and allowed them to have freedom but not the responsibility that goes with it? More likely they were so overcontrolled and severely disciplined when young that they are trying to make up for their past. Did they receive so little attention from their caretakers that they are now going to show the world that they are worthy? Did they have to suffer through so much family dysfunction when they were young that they are now compensating in perverse ways? Bradshaw writes of childhood abuse and trauma damaging the frontal lobes of the brain and seriously affecting their ability to have foresight and therefore their ability to act with prudence. Do we want men with such lack of conscience, shame and ability to feel guilty in positions that have so much inuence on our nations future? As a letter writer to the San Francisco Chronicle expressed, Both private and public behaviors reect on our character. If you lie, cheat, steal, harass and sext on your own time, youll do it on public time, too. Isnt behavior like Weiners indicative of a serious lack of character which surely isnt only limited to this particular foible? It sometimes seems that our political system is designed to elect those whose narcissism and hunger for power overwhelms their professed concern for the welfare of their fellow citizens. Gordon Livingston, M.D., Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart. Do these guys have any clue as to how their conduct should reect as black marks on their character? All this clashes with a very important quality integrity probably the most important characteristic for a politician because its important that when we interact with someone or vote for them we know if they are what they appear to be. Can we trust them to be open and honest with us? Or is there a certain distance between us because they are hiding something if not a sexual indiscretion but maybe a false persona that keeps us from knowing who they really are? Its bad enough that such egocentrism is so common, but such lack of character in so many men who are supposed to be role models and are responsible for leading our country is appalling. Honesty, responsibility and decency isnt that where its at?

Where its at
he help I need most urgently is help in admitting I need help. Ashleigh Brilliant I was going to ignore the Anthony Weiner escapade, but after I wrote Father Figure? and reviewed John Bradshaws book, Reclaiming Virtue where he writes about healthy shame, it has to be done. Shame is the feeling that lets us know we have gone too far. Shame lets us know we are fallible and prone to make mistakes, that we dont know it all. This helps us develop the modesty that keeps us from the kind of arrogance and absolution that sabotage moral decision making. Whatever happened to that old-fashioned concept? This comes to mind every time some well-known person carries on in some shameful way. The latest in the news, the antics of U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, makes many of us wonder just how narcissistic, arrogant, egocentric, etc. a person has to be to be caught in such shameful activities and then lie and try to carry on as if nothing happened. Though their shameful activities vary somewhat from that of the congressman, we must also include others here like Tiger Woods, John Edwards, Arnold Schwarzenegger and past embarrassments like Bill Clinton and Eliot Spitzer, etc., etc. The impression we get from these men is, I am so marvelous you should love me no matter what I do! And/or, Im more important than anyone else and so I can break the rules and cause severe embarrassment for those I claim I love. There are, obviously, some deep-seated psychological problems here. As someone said, Its a pathetic ramication of the male ego. Is this narcissistic, or what? It is a fact of life that men are xated on their junk, but what makes a guy think he has to go on display because he and his junk are so irresistible? Seems shame is no longer a deterrent to

Made in China
hen the new east span of the Bay Bridge opens in 2013, it will be a memorable event. Hopefully the Made in China logo will not be too apparent. It sends a terrible message. I cringe every time I think about it. For I was a member of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission when the contracts for the new east span were approved. I asked why we couldnt buy the steel from American factories at a time when many Americans were out of work. Staff replied that the United States couldnt supply the amount and type of steel needed. But, of course, the real answer was that it was cheaper to buy from China. And money was one of the reasons for the unforgivable delay in getting the construction under way. The other was politics. A new east span was needed to repair the damage from the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. But there were problems as soon as Caltrans and MTC started talking about design. Then Oakland mayor Jerry Brown wanted the bridge to be an architecturally signicant approach to his city. Then San Francisco mayor Willie Brown wanted something else. Willie Brown delayed proceedings in cahoots with the U.S. Navy which owned a piece of naval history on Yerba Buena Island. There was stalemate. Finally someone had to call on President Bill Clinton to intervene to get the Navy to cooperate. The next hurdle was getting a good bid for construction. Only one bid was submitted and it was too high (China was in a building frenzy and was driving up the price of steel) .Then former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger stepped in and said lets forget about a nice design for the bridge. Its too expensive and we cant afford it. Lets just make it functional, just a highway over water such as the San Mateo-Hayward bridge. MTC, which had spent years in community meetings regarding the design of the bridge, was adamant that it had to be the nally agreed on suspension model. The regional transportation agency was certain it could entice more than one bid. More than one was submitted. The elegant new design was in. The mantra was keep costs as low as possible and get the bridge nished before the next earthquake. The contractor was to receive a huge bonus for nishing ahead of schedule. And China was to supply most of the steel (Chinese workers have constructed the bridge decks and the materials that went into them. Meanwhile, the assembly work in California and the concrete road surfaces have provided jobs for Americans). In the end, the governor, the Legislature and members of the MTC signed on to the deal. *** Its a tough choice for American shoppers and a disaster for Americans who make things. Cheaper goods made somewhere else predominate in the American marketplace. Its hard to nd anything Made in the U.S.A. anymore including clothing, toys, games and electronics. Would we pay more to keep more Americans working? So far the answer has been no. Are American workers paid too much? Was it wrong to bring them into the middle class to enjoy the American way of life? No matter what you answer, there is no turning back. The days of cheap labor are for the most part gone. Unfortunately, we have to compete with other countries where slave and child labor are often prevalent. At least much of our food is grown here. But it is mostly picked by temporary workers from Mexico. *** Before we completely despair of what will happen to the American dream, lets promise that the next car we buy will be made in the United States. Many foreign brands are actually assembled here, but thats not enough. We need to support domestic companies. Our family always owned American cars. And we have had a variety. My rst car was a Ford and, for the most part, we remained loyal to the brand. My husband had a Plymouth when we married. I had to give up my Ford because we could not afford two cars nor the time it took to nd parking when we lived in the city without a garage. Then we had an Oldsmobile, a Rambler, a Pinto and in between and at the end Ford station wagons. Then as much as I hated to sell my Taurus, we bought a Honda and then a Subaru, and nally a Prius. We dont own an American car today. But if we do buy another, its going to be American-made and electric. The new Chevrolet Volt sounds perfect. Its electric but when the battery runs out it shifts over to gasoline. You can go thousands of miles without relling your tank if you keep your battery charged. Now I am very careful when driving my Prius to keep it at the environmentally preferred range. The Volt will make the drive to avoid gas stations much easier. And with my new Volt, I will drive across the new Made in China east span and feel relieved that at least the logo on my car will be an American brand Made in the U.S.A.

Letters to the editor


Job losses
Editor, Republicans have so far successfully fought off any proposed tax increases on millionaires and any tax loophole plugs for corporations. They assure us their concern is that any tax increases would be job killers. Of course, they point out that the only other way to cut the decit is to cut government spending. The new jobs report came out July 8 and we learned that government cuts have reduced the job market by 37,000 jobs last month. Unfortunately, Republicans havent yet been able to recognize that relationship. Anybody think they might be able to clue them in? Private industry jobs were only increased by 18,000, in spite of the Bush-era tax cut extensions. End result: Unemployment increased to 9.2 percent. The Republican plan is working awlessly. By November 2012, they will probably have passed legislation that allows only people with jobs to vote. Michele Bachmanns gaffs. The obvious daily gaffs made by the president and vice president go unnoticed: bowing to the Saudi prince and emperor of Japan, campaigning in 57 states, giving the Congressional Medal of Honor to a dead man, asking a quadriplegic to stand up and more. One in ve Americans are unemployed or underemployed, the real estate market is in the tank. Numerous cities, states and counties are facing bankruptcy. The Middle East is in ames and ready to explode. With all of the problems facing the country and world, the press wants to know if Michele Bachmann is a ake. Keith De Filippis San Jose

Obama: 10 days for debt deal


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama said Sunday that we need to work out a debt deal within the next 10 days as he convened a meeting with congressional leaders, aiming to fashion a decit reduction package for the next 10 years. Obama and the eight top House and Senate leaders assembled in the White House Cabinet Room for about 90 minutes during a rare Sunday session, less than 24 hours after House Speaker John Boehner abandoned plans to negotiate a massive $4 trillion deal for reducing the debt. As the meeting opened, Obama and the leaders sat around the table in Sunday casual dress. Asked whether the White House and Congress could work it out in 10 days, Obama replied, We need to. Despite Boehners preference for a smaller, $2 trillion plan for decit reduction, White House aides said Sunday that Obama would press the lawmakers to accept the larger deal. Republicans object to its substantial tax increases and Democrats dislike its cuts to programs for seniors and the poor. The aides, how-

ever, left room for negotiations on a more modest approach. Hes not someone to walk away from a tough fight, White House chief of staff William Daley said. Barack Obama Everyone agrees that a number around $4 trillion is the number that will ... make a serious dent in our decit. But embedded among the tough words was rhetoric that acknowledged the big deals prospects had become uncertain at best. Were going to try to get the biggest deal possible, said Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. It was an abrupt change from 24 hours earlier. Republicans late Saturday rejected the $4 trillion proposal, the largest of three under consideration, because its tax increases would doom it in the GOPled House, Speaker John Boehner said. The Ohio Republican informed Obama that a package of about $2 trillion, which bipartisan negotiators had identied but not agreed to, was more realistic. Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell

of Kentucky left little doubt that the $4 trillion deal was dead. I think it is, McConnell said. Raising taxes amid 9.2 percent unemployment, he added, is a terrible idea. Its a job killer. The statements threw into question the extent to which the Sunday meeting, called for 6 p.m. EDT, would move the talks toward a resolution as an Aug. 2 deadline loomed. Thats when the nation would begin to default on its debts, administration ofcials say, if no deal is reached to raise the borrowing limit from $14.3 trillion. The International Monetary Funds new chief, Christine Lagarde, said that if the U.S. fails to act, she foresees interest hikes, stock markets taking a huge hit and real nasty consequences for the American and global economies. I would hope that there is enough bipartisan intelligence and understanding of the challenge that is ahead of the United States, but also the rest of the world, she said. Republicans have demanded that any plan to raise the debt limit be coupled with massive spending cuts to lighten the burden of government on the struggling economy.

Pawn shops, payday lenders are hot


By Bernard Condon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK As the jobless rate inches up and the economic recovery sputters, investors looking for a few good stocks may want to follow the money or rather the TV, the beloved Fender guitar, the baubles from grandma, the wedding ring. Prots at pawn shop operator Ezcorp Inc. have jumped by an average 46 percent annually for ve years. The stock has doubled from a year ago, to about $38. And the Wall Street pros who analyze the company think it will go higher yet. All seven of them are telling investors to buy the Austin, Texas, company.

Is the economy still just in a soft patch? A hard patch? Will the market rise or drop? Even experts are just guessing. In investing, its often better to focus on what you can safely predict, even if that safety is found in companies that thrive on hard times. One good bet: The jobless arent likely to nd work anytime soon. And companies profiting from their bad fortune will continue to do so. Among them: Stock in payday lender Advance America Cash Advance Centers (AEA) has doubled from a year ago, to just under $8. Rival Cash America International Inc. (CSH) is up 64 percent, to $58. Such rms typically provide high interest loans due on pay-

day to people who cant borrow from traditional lenders. Prots at Encore Capital Group, a debt collector that targets people with unpaid credit cards bills and other debts, rose nearly 50 percent last year. Encore has faced class action suits in several states, including California, over its collection practices. The Minnesota attorney general led a suit in March. No matter. The stock (ECPG) is up 59 percent from a year ago, to more than $30. Stock in Rent-A-Center (RCII), which leases televisions, couches, computers and more, is up 57 percent from a year ago to nearly $32. Nine of the 11 analysts covering the company say it will rise further and that investors should buy it.

City to pay wedded gay employees to offset tax


By Johanna Kaiser
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. When the city of Cambridge issues paychecks to its public employees, nearly two dozen workers find a federal tax on their income that their colleagues dont have to pay. Like many people, these 22 school and city workers chose to put their spouses on their employer-provided health insurance. Because theyre in a homosexual relationship, the value of that health coverage is considered taxable income by the federal government. But starting this month, Cambridge will become what is believed to be the first municipality in the country to pay its public employees a stipend in an attempt to defray the cost of the federal tax on health benefits for their same-sex spouses. The city employees hit by the extra tax pay an additional $1,500 to $3,000 in taxes a year and officials estimate the stipends would cost the city an additional $33,000. This is about equality, said Marjorie Decker, a Cambridge city councilor. This is a city that models what equality really means. Of the thousands of legally married gay and lesbian couples in Massachusetts, none can receive the federal benefits offered to heterosexual married couples because the federal government doesnt recognize same-sex marriages. Those benefits include Social Security survivors benefits, immigration rights, family leave and the ability to file joint tax returns. The council last month approved the measure that would provide quarterly stipends to any city or school employee who puts a same-sex spouse on their health insurance. The vote came after council members began looking in January for a way to offset what they called an unfair and discriminatory tax.

Foster City,Pacifica in Little League title game

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The baseball gods have a funny way of making things work out. It was a two weeks ago today that Pacica American handed Foster City a loss in the District 52 10/11 All-Star Tournament. It was a 5-4 defeat that sent Foster City into the bottom of the bracket and forced

them to win out the rest of the way if they were going to have a shot at the championship. Fast forward to today and these same teams will meet in said title game and Foster City has Andrew Polk to thank for that opportunity. No. 44 pitched beautifully Sunday afternoon at the Belmont Sports Complex, carrying his team-

mates on his shoulders and leading them to a 6-1 victory. The win sets up todays rubber match up a winner-take-all game for the District 52 title. After the win, Foster City head coach Steve Sutter could not say enough good things about his young right-hander. We were down our top three pitchers, he said, Andrew has

been coming along and I thought wed use him to keep them off-balanced with his fastball, curveball, change-up and it worked very well. Very well indeed. Polk pitched 5 2/3 innings of four-hit baseball, surrendering only one run in the process. No. 44 had all his pitches working in silencing the potent Pacica bats. But Sutter was more impressed with Polks mental

toughness. That was the thing, Sutter said. For an 11-year-old who isnt used to pitching a lot, to put him out on the mound and I told him give me one inning and well worry about the second. And we were joking about that in the post game, I said, I think he took it personally when I

DRESDEN, Germany Running low on hope and almost out of time, the Americans were surely beat, about to make their earliest exit from the Womens World Cup. And then, with one of the most thrilling goals in U.S. history, they werent. Showing a dramatic burst sure to captivate the folks back home, the Americans packed an entire World Cups worth of theatrics into a 15minute span by beating Brazil 5-3 on penalty kicks after a 2-2 tie Sunday night. Abby Wambach tied it with a magnicent, leaping header in the 122nd minute, and Hope Solo denied the Brazilians again in one of the most riveting games in the history of the World Cup, mens or womens. There is something special about this group. That energy, that vibe, Solo said. Even in overtime, you felt something was going to happen.

f Americans dont fall in love with soccer after this, well, maybe they never will. Yes, the epic quarterfinal win by the U.S. women over Brazil featured nearly everything their countrymen hate about the beautiful game. They faced off against a team with better individual skills, plus an imagination and intuition about how to play that develops only over decades. They were handcuffed by lousy calls with no chance of appeal then mocked by dives and fake injuries cynically designed to steal their momentum and the little time that remained on the clock. To top it off, after hard work and a last-gasp equalizer erased all that, their fortunes still hinged on those notoriously ckle penalty kicks. But oh, oh, oh, that ending. Oh so just, if not exactly swift.

economy and political paralysis, it could hardly come at a better time. Highlights of the game were shown between innings on the large video board in Yankee Stadium, and a crowd half a world away from Dresden, Germany, erupted as if it was there. A stream of luminaries as diverse as LeBron James and GOP presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman rushed to Twitter to pass along congratulations humbled, one hopes, by a display of grit and teamwork that has become increasingly rare back home.

ARLINGTON, Texas Trevor Cahill made one bad pitch Sunday, and thats one too many to get a win for the Oakland Athletics right now. Cahill was working on a shutout before Adrian Beltre hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning, and that was all Matt Harrison needed to pitch the Texas Rangers to a 2-0 victory. Cahill allowed five hits and walked two in 7 2-3 innings, and still dropped to 8-3 with a 2.19 ERA in 12 career starts against the Rangers. Trevor pitched great, As manager Bob Melvin said. One swing ended up costing us. If he pitches like that, hell win a lot of games. Hes an elite pitcher. Josh Hamilton drew a two-out walk before Beltre sent a 1-0 pitch from Cahill (8-7) into the seats in left-center. The All-Star third baseman has homered in three consecutive games to give him 19 on the year. Cahills downfall was leaving a fastball up and over the plate to Beltre. Meanwhile, Harrison (7-7) gave up six hits, struck out seven and walked one in 7 2-3 innings as Texas completed the four-game sweep to stretch its winning streak to a season-best seven games. Its tough, but (Harrison) threw better than I did, Cahill said. Mark Lowe retired the nal batter in the eighth, and Neftali Feliz completed the six-hitter by working a perfect ninth for his 18th save in 22 chances. I was able to keep them off balance, moving the ball in and out, Harrison said. I gave us a chance to win today. I knew it was going to be tough pitching against Cahill. Hes a great pitcher and he made one mistake today and thats all we needed to win the ballgame. AL West-leading Texas opened the season with six consecutive wins, then topped that streak against Oakland. The Rangers have won seven consecutive games heading into the break for the rst time in franchise history. A game played in 98-degree heat wrapped up an emotional weekend for both teams following the death Thursday of a fan who reached for a ball tossed into the stands by

That was all the time Wambach and the Americans needed, after pushing themselves to limit while playing a woman short after Rachel Buehlers 66th-minute ejection. Not for one second, Wambach said when asked if she ever felt the Americans were beat. I kept saying, all it takes is one chance. I kept holding up one nger to the girls. Two minutes into stoppage time, Megan Rapinoe blasted a left-footed cross from 30 yards out on the left side that Andreia didnt come close to getting her hands on. Wambach, one of the best players in the world in the air, made contact and with one furious whip of her head, buried it in the near side of the net from about ve yards. I took a touch and smoked it, Rapinoe said. I dont think Ive ever hit a cross with my left foot that well.

But the small advantages they enjoyed over a handful of rivals are gone, and the even larger ones they held over the rest of the world are drying up fast.

Spain knocks United States out of Davis Cup


By Jim Vertuno
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUSTIN, Texas Everything was set up for Andy Roddick and the Americans to win. A Davis Cup quarternal against Spain set deep in the heart of Texas, a hard surface that was supposed to complement their big hitters and a rowdy crowd of 16,000 ready to cheer them on. Spain was even missing superstar Rafael Nadal, who skipped the matches to rest after losing the Wimbledon nal. None of it mattered to the feisty, passionate and inspired Spaniards, who tore through the singles matches undefeated to build an insurmountable 3-1 lead, denying Roddick a chance to win it in front of his hometown fans. Spains David Ferrer, the No. 6 player in the world, beat No. 8

Mardy Fish 7-5, 7-6 (3), 5-7, 7-6 (5) in a grueling 4-hour, 11minute reverse singles match Sunday that clinched Spains victory. The win its Andy Roddick rst on U.S. soil sends the Spain to the seminals, where it will host France on Sept. 16-18. Spain is seeking its third Davis Cup championship in four years. For us, this is a historic match, Spain captain Albert Costa said. History certainly wasnt with the Americans. Spain had already turned Nadals absence into an afterthought when Feliciano Lopez beat Fish in the rst singles match Friday and Ferrer whipped Roddick in straight sets in

front of a stunned home crowd. The U.S. is now just 1-37 in Davis Cup when facing an 0-2 decit. The only time they rallied was back in 1934 against Australia in London. Spain is probably the deepest team out there right now in mens tennis, said Jim Courier, who suffered his rst defeat as U.S. captain. Playing Spain home or away is going to be tough, with or without Rafa. The U.S. hasnt won the Davis Cup since 2007, and Roddick had lobbied to have this quarterfinal played in his home town. Austin responded with a rowdy reception for the Spaniards, waving American ags and peppering the matches with chants of U-S-A! Roddicks wife, model and actress Brooklyn Decker, wore red and blue and waved a red-whiteand-blue pom-pom. One sign held up after a Ferrer miss on Sunday

read Rafa would have made that! But none of the rousing cheers could push the Americans to a singles victory. Fish, who fell to 6-7 in Davis Cup play, played a grueling four-hour, ve-set match on Friday and followed it with the longest match in U.S. Davis Cup play since the tiebreaker was introduced in 1989. The U.S. had won Saturdays doubles and a Fish victory would have put the deciding match on Roddicks big serve and broad shoulders. Roddick is 12-0 in Davis Cupclinching matches, but once Spain clinched the victory, Roddicks late match against Lopez was canceled. I badly wanted to get to the point we could get Andy out there. It just didnt happen, Fish said. Andy was ready for the ball. He wanted the ball, Courier said. Fish led Ferrer 5-3 in the rst set

before Ferrer broke his serve twice in winning the next four games. Frustrated by 20 unforced errors in the set, Fish slammed and broke a racket. Fish dialed up a dominant serve in the second, but Ferrer still pushed the set to a tie-breaker to win it. Fish rallied to win the third set before Ferrer put the match away in the fourth. With the crowd getting louder to support Fish after every winning shot, Ferrer looked frustrated and drew a warning when he smacked a ball deep in the stands. The players traded three service breaks before Ferrer went up 5-4 when a shot by Fish slipped a fraction of an inch wide of the line. Fish still forced a tiebreaker and trailed 0-3 before rallying with three straight points. The match ended on a long rally before Fishs nal shot sailed wide.

Hundreds mourn Rangers fan who fell to his death


By Jaime Aron
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BROWNWOOD, Texas For the last 18 years, firefighter Shannon Stones family dreaded getting a phone call telling them something had gone horribly wrong. That call came Thursday night. Only it had nothing to do with his dangerous job it was from the simple pleasure of taking his 6year-old son to a Texas Rangers game, and trying to catch a ball tossed his way by the boys favorite player, Josh Hamilton.

The 39-year-old Stone lost his balance and fell headrst about 20 feet onto concrete with his son, Cooper, watching. Witnesses said Stone was conscious after landing and spoke about Cooper being left alone. Stone was pronounced dead within an hour; an autopsy ruled the cause as blunt force trauma from the fall. The unfathomable circumstances behind Stones death has made his loss even more difcult for family, friends and fellow firefighters. Hundreds mourned him during a public visitation Sunday, many leaving the funeral home with tis-

sues in hand, tears in their eyes, their voices crackling with emotion. When youre married to someone thats a rst responder, you go into it knowing theres that possibility, said Trease Burke, whose husband, Scotty, was a Brownwood police ofcer for 14 years and is now on the Lake Patrol. But you dont expect it to be like this. ... You dont expect it to be a freak accident. Media was asked to stay out of the funeral home. Many of those leaving the building declined to be interviewed, citing the familys wishes.

Its still obviously a very somber occasion, Brownwood Mayor Stephen Haynes said. The family of course is honoring him appropriately and celebrating his life. But its still difcult to accept, obviously, the nature of the death and the timing of the death and the way that it happened. A funeral is scheduled for Monday, followed by a procession to the cemetery that was expected to include more than 100 re trucks from across the region. Representatives of the Texas Rangers were planning to attend, too.

Brownwood is a town of about 20,000 residents in the Hill Country of central Texas, some 150 miles west of the Rangers stadium in Arlington. Flags across the area have been at half-staff since Friday, with several wreaths and a dozen yellow roses left in his memory at a monument outside the re department. Were a small town, Haynes said. Were not (small) enough that everyone knows everyone, but we are small enough that everyone is impacted in some way. Everyone has a friend or family member who was close to that family.

Giants prospect all smiles at Futures Game


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Perhaps the characteristic that best sums up Gary Brown is the big smile he had on his face after stealing second base in yesterdays AllStar Futures Game. But the baseball tools that got that smile national airtime are why the center elder is considered on of the most promising young prospects in the Giants organization. In his rst full professional season, Brown is blazing the trail at the top of the order for Giants high-A afliate San Jose, ranking second in the California League with 35 steals and 110 hits. His defense draws equally rave reviews. And hes the catalyst for a Giants team that set an all-time team mark with a 50-19 record in the rst half of the season. Brown is taking it all in stride, though. Quick with a smile, even in recounting a serious hand injury just weeks before the Giants selected him in the rst round of the 2010

draft, he is keen to share a laugh. Thats why he can joke about a question regarding how he stacks up against Mike Trout, one of the top Gary Brown prospects in all of baseball, who was likewise selected to the U.S. Futures Team as a center elder. Ah, cmon man, Brown said, with big, playful smile. You dont think I can play over Trout? As it turns out, Trout was promoted to the big leagues on Friday, which paved the way for Brown to be named the starting center elder for the U.S. Team. And Brown responded by going 1 for 2 with a steal and a run scored, in helping the U.S. to a 6-4 win. Just a day in the life for the dynamic leadoff hitter. From the rst game he was certainly a moving force, and denitely the anchor of a lot of our success

early in the year, San Jose manager Andy Skeels said. Skeels said Brown was an immediate standout this year. This quickly dispelled any concerns regarding his recovery from a broken nger an injury he endured while sliding into second base on May 19, 2010 as a standout junior at Fullerton. Prior to the injury which ended his college career, Brown was hitting .438 the best single-season average in Fullerton history en route to being named the Big West Conference Player of the Year. However, in his return to the diamond just three months after suffering the break to the third metacarpal in his left hand, his offense suffered. He hit below .200 in both rookie-class Arizona and low-A Salem-Keizer. Im good now, Brown said. It was rough at rst. When I rst started playing last year, I didnt realize how weak my hand still was. In Salem and in Arizona, I really couldnt turn on a pitch and thats a

big part of my game. So its 100percent now. Brown is the second San Jose center elder in as many years to play in the Futures Game. Last year, Francisco Peguero currently hitting .311 at Double-A Richmond was selected to the World Team. Also, current San Jose right-hander Zack Wheeler was named to the U.S. Team last year. The Futures Game, thats good experience, Wheeler said. Its out there on the big-league eld. Just the atmosphere of all that and theres actually a lot of fans there. And it was in L.A., so it was nice. In order to report for yesterdays game at Chase Field in Arizona where the 82nd Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be held tomorrow Brown had to leave after Fridays San Jose game against Bakerseld, forcing him to miss the nal two games of the series. One man that was happy about Browns absence from California League action is Blaze

manager Ken Griffey Sr., after having witnessed Brown clock a vehit game earlier in the season at Bakerseld. We didnt forget that real quick, Griffey said. Griffey knows center elders. His son Ken Griffey Jr. is considered one of the best center elders to ever play the game. And as a corner outelder, Griffey Sr. played along side some other great ones, including the unsung member of The Big Red Machine, four-time Gold Glove winner Cesar Geronimo. And the way Griffey sees it, Brown gures mighty nicely into the burgeoning legacy of the Orange-and-Black. Center eld, the kid can play, Griffey said. He can at out go get em. Hes got a tremendous arm. Hes got the speed. He swings the bat real well. You dont ever want to say hes one of the ones that cant miss. But this kid has some tools that hes got a chance to get [to the big leagues], and quickly.

Seo on the verge of victory at US Womens Open

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Hee Kyung Seo has a chance to carve her own special place in history. Not simply as a U.S. Open winner but as a U.S. Open winner who won it without hitting a single shot on the nal day. In a strange, storm-infested tournament that doesnt want to end, Seo did just about everything she could to win her rst major except

control the weather. She shot a pair of 3under 68s on Sunday to nish at 3-under 281 for a one-shot lead over her South Korean Hee Kung Seo rival, So Yeon Ryu, who had three holes left when darkness halted play. Cristie Kerr was another shot

back with two holes left. Seo will sleep on the lead though not as comfortably as she could have after missing a 3-foot par putt on No. 17 and then has a chance to wake up Monday, come to the course, never touch a club and walk away with the trophy. I can sleep very well, so I dont worry about that, she said. But she couldnt celebrate quite yet. Rain delayed play for the fourth time in four days this time for 2

hours, 37 minutes and left 28 players still on the course, three of whom are still in range. Theres Ryu, who shot 69 on her rst trip around the course Sunday morning and has at least one decent birdie opportunity the par-5 17th awaiting Monday morning. Right now, its kind of breezy out there, she said. Tomorrow, it might be good weather and the greens might be soft. So, its good for me, yeah. Theres Kerr, a two-time major

winner who isnt conceding anything. She was getting ready to do an interview after darkness fell when she saw Seo hugging friends and family. The tournament is not decided yet, Kerr said. I think shes over there celebrating. We all have a chance. Im going to go out and swing for the fences and hopefully tie it up. Also with an outside chance is Angela Stanford, who is at even par, three shots behind with four holes to play.

Sandoval big in Giants win over Mets


By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Pablo Sandoval didnt disappoint his manager who picked him for the AllStar game or the fans who honored his accomplishment in his turnaround season. Sandoval celebrated his rst AllStar selection by hitting an RBI double to extend his hitting streak to 21 games and fellow All-Star Matt Cain pitched six scoreless innings to lead the San Francisco Giants to a 4-2 victory over the New York Mets on Sunday night. Its exciting, he said. It was one of those things you dont want to forget. All the fans showed up for you and made me excited. Sandoval got the news earlier in the day that he would be making his rst All-Star game appearance as in injury replacement for Mets shortstop Jose Reyes, who is on the DL with a hamstring injury. The AllStar selection was the latest acco-

lade in a turnaround season for Sandoval, who lost nearly 40 pounds this offseason after he struggled with his weight and hitting in Pablo Sandoval 2010. Sandoval just missed out on the All-Star game in 2009 despite having a .333 average with 15 homers and 55 RBIs at the break. Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel picked his own player, Shane Victorino, instead of Sandoval that year. With San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy making picks, Sandoval got his chance despite missing 40 games with an injured right wrist. It was a special moment, Bochy said. This means a lot to him. He was very disappointed last time he had a chance and didnt make it. Hes very excited about this. He got emotional out there before the game.

Sandoval received a warm ovation in a pregame ceremony and then backed his managers pick when he doubled in Andres Torres in the third inning to score the games rst run. Nate Schierholtz followed with an RBI single off Mike Pelfrey (5-8) to give the Giants a 2-0 lead. Schierholtz had four hits after being moved up to the cleanup spot for the Giants, who have won four of ve to take a three-game lead over Arizona in the NL West heading into the All-Star break. This is the rst time since 2003 that San Francisco enters the break in rst place. It feels good, Cain said. Weve put in a lot of work. Were nishing on a good note. Well take the break and try to come back and do the same thing in the second half. Cain (8-5) delivered the latest strong pitching performance for the World Series champions. He escaped trouble all night, pitching around four extra-base hits and stranding six runners in scoring

position to win for the fth time in his last six decisions. Cain allowed ve hits and three walks, lowering his ERA to 2.06 over his last eight starts. Brian Wilson allowed an RBI double to Justin Turner in the ninth before recording his 26th save in 30 chances. Nick Evans also hit a pinch-hit homer for the Mets, who lost the nal two games here to drop their rst road series since losing two of three to the Cubs in May. They still finished the first half at 46-45 despite starting the season 5-13 and dealing with injuries to key players like Reyes, David Wright and Ike Davis. It could be better and it could be worse, outelder Jason Bay said. If you were to tell me we would be missing Player A and B and still be where we are, I think most of us would take it. There are denitely reasons for optimism, no question. When we start getting guys back, it will be like making a trade. The Giants couldnt manage

much in six innings off Pelfrey, who allowed eight hits and two walks. But it proved to be enough because the Mets were unable to capitalize on numerous chances against Cain. They wasted a leadoff double by Daniel Murphy in the second, left the bases loaded in the third when Murphy popped up to end the inning, were unable to score after Lucas Dudas one-out triple in the fourth and squandered Turners oneout double in the fth. Cains night ended when he struck out Ruben Tejada on his 118th pitch to end the sixth with Ronny Paulino on second base. We had Cain on the ropes several times, but he got out of it, which is what pitchers like that do, Mets manager Terry Collins said. When were playing good, we were getting the two-out hits. We didnt do that the last two nights here. The Giants added two runs in the seventh off Jonathon Niese in his first career relief appearance. Miguel Tejada and Aaron Rowand had RBI singles in the inning.

Oakland was shut out for the 11th time this season and is 5-13 in its last 18 games after a six-game winning streak. The As fell to 16-32 on the road and a season-worst 14 games under .500 (3953).

We have condence in each other, Oakland left elder Josh Willingham said. We know we can play better than this. The break comes at a good time for the As. We have to put this half behind us and start playing better baseball, Melvin said. We have to start scoring more runs and believe in ourselves offensively. We have some guys who can do some damage. We just havent at this point. After coming in here and losing four games in a row, its probably good to distance ourselves from that.

Transformers stay on top


By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

f your summer plans include something more exciting than a stay-cation, what will you do with the family pet? No one needs the added anxiety vacations are meant to be relaxing, a chance to leave worries and cell phones behind. Fortunately, you have options for your four-legged friend. Our area has no shortage of boarding facilities, starting with no frills, $30 per night accommodations. Or you can splurge. For $100 per night, your dog will get extras like walks, supervised play sessions with samesized dogs, water-play, treats and themed rooms. Yes, your dog can rock the Casbah or have wall-to-wall jungle dcor! Basically, everything but a turn-down service and a mint on the pillow. But, what if your dog hates leaving his cozy connes and shakes as soon as you get him in the car? Have a trusted friend bunk at your place while youre gone. Your dog may be quite comfortable with a familiar face. And, depending on your friends living situation (at home with parents ... sharing a house with four friends), he or she may love the chance to unwind at your place. Some pets are secure enough to be at home by themselves for a few days. In this case, youll need someone to visit a few times daily for meals, a walk or play session and bathroom breaks. This may be an opportunity for a responsible neighborhood kid to earn a few bucks. But, be very careful with this last option; we routinely have stray dogs who were accidentally let out of the house or yard when families were away and had others taking care of their pets. Give your pet sitter detailed instructions and a thorough walk-through of your home and yard. Finally, dont rule out bringing the family pet on vacation. Ive had good success on VRBO.com, which allows you to search for pet-friendly cabins and other rentals. Scott oversees PHS/SPCAs Customer Service, Behavior and Training, Education, Outreach, Field Services, Cruelty Investigation, Volunteer and Media/PR program areas and staff. His companion, Murray, oversees him.

LOS ANGELES Transformers: Dark of the Moon now rules this years box ofce as the blockbuster sequel became 2011s top domestic hit with $261 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Paramount Pictures sci- smash starring Shia LaBeouf remained No. 1 in its second weekend with $47 million and shot past The Hangover Part II to rst-place on the domestic chart. Debuting in second place with $28.1 million domestically was the Warner Bros. comedy Horrible Bosses, featuring Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis as bumblers plotting against their nasty supervisors. Opening at No. 3 with $21 million was Sony Pictures family tale Zookeeper, with Kevin James as an animal tender who gets romantic advice from the talking critters in his care. Domestic business dipped overall, with revenues totaling $158 million, down 18 percent from the same weekend last year, when Despicable Me led with a $56.4 million debut, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. Despite predictions of a monster summer that would easily surpass last years anemic one, revenues since the rst weekend in May have slipped slightly behind those of summer 2010, according to Hollywood.com. With tickets costing more this year than last, that means admissions are down even further compared to summer 2010, when domestic attendance was among the lowest in the past decade. The third Transformers sequel is climbing fast, but other familiar titles such as Cars 2, X-Men: First Class, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Kung Fu Panda 2 are not living up to the domestic earnings of their predecessors. Even The Hangover Part II, which had a huge opening weekend, is coming in below the original one domestically. This is when were supposed to be pulling well ahead of one of the lowest-attended sum-

Transformers:Dark of the Moonwas the weekends top movie.

Top ten movies


1.Transformers: Dark of the Moon, $47 million ($93 million international). 2.Horrible Bosses,$28.1 million. 3.Zookeeper,$21 million ($7.5 million international). 4.Cars 2, $15.2 million ($26.9 million international). 5.Bad Teacher,$9 million. 6.Larry Crowne,$6.3 million. 7.Super 8, $4.8 million ($2.5 million international). 8.Monte Carlo,$3.8 million. 9.Green Lantern,$3.1 million. 10.Mr.Poppers Penguins,$2.9 million.
mers of the last 10 years, which was last summer, and were not doing that, said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. Given all their entertainment options now, it really takes a lot for people to see a trailer and say, Oh, weve got to go out and see that. A familiar title that fans will be rushing out to see arrives this coming week with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the nale of one of Hollywoods biggest franchises. Warner Bros. general sales manager Jeff Goldstein said the studio expects the eighth

Harry Potter lm to be the top-grossing entry in the series. Though summer revenues are lagging, Potter will change all of that next week, Goldstein said. Going into this weekend, the industry was off year over year, but I think now were going to close that gap. For the year, domestic revenues are at $5.5 billion, down 8.6 percent from 2010s, while attendance is off 10 percent, according to Hollywood.com. Yet international business has been Hollywoods salvation, with overseas fans turning out in huge numbers. Disneys latest Pirates of the Caribbean adventure remains the years top-grossing hit worldwide at $1.02 billion. Overseas markets accounted for $785 million, just over threefourths of that total, highlighting how critical international business has become for Hollywood, which once depended largely on domestic ticket sales. The new Transformers sequel added $93 million this weekend overseas, bringing its international total to $384 million and global haul to $645 million, No. 2 for the year behind Pirates. From the distributor standpoint, people are looking at these movies as world events much more than just domestic events, said Rory Bruer, head of distribution at Sony, whose Zookeeper padded its domestic take with a $7.5 million launch in 19 overseas markets.

High School, is a student at Dominican University and an intern for Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, working as the project assistant for collaborative economics in San Mateo, according to his application. Mason sees the district as lacking adequate communication with his students, which he aims to rectify. In addition, Mason sees a need for building nancial reserves. Gonzalez is a 2006 graduate of Aragon High School and recent graduate of the University of California at Berkeley. The San Mateo resident is the assistant director for the Center for a New Generation at the Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula at Taft Community School in Redwood City, according to his application. Gonzalez hopes to bring his experiences working directly with low-income students of color to the board. Gonzalez said the district needs to emphasize vocational education and training. Lastly, two women are also hoping to join the board. Rhonda Collins, a mother of a Capuchino High School student, is also the probation services manager for the San Mateo County Probation Department, according to her application. Collins, a San Bruno resident, served elected roles in the parent teacher groups at Rollingwood Elementary and address emotional or behavioral issues; covering health insurance premiums for children ages 0 to 5; and supporting children with special needs. Last year, more than 16,000 people received services funded through First 5 6,800 children ages 0 to 5; over 5,100 parents and guardians; and 4,200 child care providers, said Armstrong. With the 31 percent cut in funding, it is difcult to estimate how this will impact the numbers directly; however as we know, any reduction to supportive services for families with multiple risk factors greatly impacts their children, she said. First 5 currently works with 14 agencies throughout the county to provide 18 programs. Nearly all were given notice that the contracts would end Dec. 31, said Armstrong. Also, the commission has reached out to other county services in an attempt to nd ways to share services and costs. The state has noted the commission doesnt need the money as it is in reserves. Horsley argued the long-term December, he said. CAMTC also does not need a conviction to revoke or suspend a license and does so weekly based often on little more than an ofcers declaration of not meeting professional standards, Netanel said. We make it easier to eradicate illicit activities in this profession, Netanel said. Prior to the state law change, San Carlos had one of the toughest massage ordinances on the books, said Assistant City Manager Brian Moura. In the last several months, the city has seen requests for businesses registrations and related permits skyrocket for massage therapy businesses, Moura said. Although an average of an application a day or week may be low for some cities, that rate in San Carlos is unusual and leads to thought a majority are related to prostitution, Rothaus said. The San Carlos Patrol Bureau of the Sheriffs Ofce has also elded a number of complaints and some massage businesses have been found on escort websites, Rothaus said. In spring of 2010, police acted on tips about an establishment in the 1600 block of El Camino Real and executed a sting that arrested one and uncovered four Asian female workers on June 30, 2010. In October, police spot checked the same location working under a new name. Two Asian women were cited for operating without a permit but prostitution couldnt be proven despite detectives suspicions.

Hillsborough resident Frykberg previously served on the Nueva School Board while acting as president of the Nueva Schools Parent Association, according to her application. The property management partner is also an associate pastor at the First Presbyterian Church of Burlingame. Her son, a 2007 Burlingame High School graduate, asked Frykberg to keep a low prole while he attended the school. After honoring his wish, Frykberg cited a desire to give back to the district. Frykberg believes the district has focused too much on test scores recently causing a negative impact on critical thinking tools. She would like physical education to also be emphasized.

in any and all cities where they worked. The idea was to also ease the burden on cities and police departments. According to Rothaus, the burden has only increased under the well-intentioned legislation. CAMTC issues conditional certicates to those who graduated from schools not requiring the same number of classroom or study issues. These can be a sign of illegitimate practitioners, Rothaus said. CAMTC also doesnt automatically pull a persons license when they are arrested on suspicion of prostitution, freeing them to continue working while prolonging prosecution or plead no contest to disturbing the peace which doesnt invalidate their permit, Rothaus said. The thing about the law is that cities have no more rights to regulate massage than any other service business, Rothaus said. But CAMTC CEO Ahmos Netanel said several of those arguments are wrong. The law provided conditional permits for therapists who might have had the experience but not the required schooling as an alternative to grandfathering them in, Netanel said. The idea was to give them time to come up to speed and the state will stop issuing conditional permits in

on site had legitimate CAMTC certication. In May, yet another undercover investigation yielded one arrest for prostitution. Because the women involved are Asian and do not speak English, Rothaus said ofcials suspect there is human trafcking as well as prostitution involved. Although Rothaus is asking for a moratorium, he is optimistic the state will tweak its rules to better prevent illegal activity and make a ban unnecessary. San Mateo County is also working on revamping its massage ordinance, said Chief Deputy County Counsel Lee Thompson. The emergency moratorium would ban issuing permits for 45 days. The City Council can extend it for one year. Both Mayor Andy Klein and Councilman Randy Royce support Rothaus request. The ordinance should have little impact on future massage business demand but can give the Sheriffs Ofce support in controlling the illegal activity, Royce said. In June, the Belmont City Council approved a similar 45-day emergency moratorium after comparing city records against a list of 31 schools deemed suspect by CAMTC. City staff determined that 37 of 46 licensed massage therapists in the city had attended the schools. The San Carlos City Council meets 7 p.m. Monday, July 11 at City Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.

Betty Ford to get Calif.memorial,Mich.burial


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RANCHO MIRAGE Before she is laid to rest, Betty Ford will be memorialized in the Southern California desert region that she and her rehab center made famous by treating troubled Hollywood stars battling alcoholism and other addictions. Rancho Mirage was already a billionaires playground, but Fords center made it a household name as it provided help to luminaries ranging from Elizabeth Taylor to Lindsay Lohan. Tributes poured in Saturday from A-listers and average residents alike in the desert golf community where Ford settled with her husband, former President Gerald Ford, after he left ofce more than three decades ago. She died of natural causes at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage on Friday at age 93, family attorney and spokesman Greg Willard said.

Betty Ford
stigma from addiction. The Betty Ford Center treated more than 90,000 people since its beginnings in 1982 and although it was most famous for a string of celebrity patients, it kept its rates relatively affordable and provided a model for effective addiction treatment. She revealed her own longtime addiction to painkillers and alcohol 15 months after leaving the White House, and regularly welcomed new groups of patients to rehab with a speech that started, Hello, my names Betty Ford, and Im an alcoholic and drug addict. Carol Pruter, 67, said she was proud that Betty Ford chose to set up her rehab center in Rancho Mirage and admired Ford for making a point of reaching out to average people

Memorial Tuesday
She will be memorialized Tuesday in Californias Coachella Valley, which includes Rancho Mirage, before her casket travels by motorcade and military transport for a private burial Thursday alongside her husband in Grand Rapids, Mich., at the Gerald R. Ford Museum. In Rancho Mirage, residents were saddened by her death even as they praised her devotion to removing the

too, Pruter said. She let people know that people who arent well-known can get addictions too. Its not something for a certain part of society, its not something to hide, Pruter said as she stopped by a local coffee shop in Saturdays 104-degree desert heat. Pruters family attends St. Margarets Episcopal Church in nearby Palm Desert, where the Fords also worshipped. The church will host a tribute service Tuesday to Mrs. Ford for friends and family, and a public visitation Tuesday evening. Ford chose her close friend and fellow former First Lady Rosalynn Carter to eulogize her in California, along with journalist Cokie Roberts and a University of Michigan dean, Jeffrey MacKie-Mason. Willard, who has served the family since 1975, recalled when the outspoken bosom buddies Ford and Carter went to Capitol Hill to lobby for mental health legislation. Several Senators and Congressmen have since observed that they have not seen a political force of nature as they did that day when they saw those women arm-inarm in the halls of Congress, Willard said Saturday. Other residents of the desert town reminisced about the celebrity cache that the Betty Ford Center brought to Rancho Mirage and the other desert cities in the Coachella Valley but without the frenzy that so often accompanies the comings and goings of todays troubled stars.

Its probably shallow to say, but I think its really cool she was able to get celebrities here, said Pat Kellogg, who has lived in the area for 22 years. Florist John Ballow for years has catered to Rancho Mirages wealthy and famous, but there were few with whom he developed as close a relationship as the woman he reverentially calls Mrs. Ford. I took this almost as bad as a member of my family dying the world does not make Mrs. Fords anymore, said Ballow. The citys annual Betty Ford ProAm Golf Tournament draws on the lush fairways to raise money for people who cannot afford addiction treatment. The rest of the world, however, knew the rehab centers hometown primarily for its ties to Hollywoods elite, so much so that it became the punch line in discussions of celebrity overindulgence. In 1996, Kelsey Grammer described to Jay Leno how his treatment at Betty Ford helped restore his joy of living. The comedian also quipped about the centers stature and its famous patients. When I was on my way to the Betty Ford Center, I turned to one of my friends and said, You know, Ive nally made it. Im going to the Betty Ford Center, he said. Grammer, however, also credited the center with saving his life as did many of the celebrities who honored Ford on Friday as news of her death spread, from Oscar-winner Marlee

Matlin to One Day at a Time actress Mackenzie Phillips to Ali McGraw, who was treated at the center in 1986. She changed so many of our lives with her courage and intelligence, her honesty and humility, and her deep grace, McGraw said. Her vision impacted my own life as few people have.

Rejected praise
But Ford herself would have rejected the praise as she did in life, preferring instead to turn the attention back to the person who was struggling with the demons of addiction. People who get well often say, You saved my life, and Youve turned my life around, Ford once said. They dont realize we merely provided the means for them to do it themselves, and thats all. After the Tuesday service in California, Fords casket will travel Wednesday to Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids, where she grew up, and where she met her husband of 58 years. As in California, there will be another tribute service for family and friends at Grace Episcopal Church before a public visitation is held. Lynne Cheney, the wife of former vice president Dick Cheney, and history scholar Richard Norton Smith will give eulogies at the Michigan service.

well-known brands. The rst mass-produced auto that tasted success was the one that Ransom E. Olds made in the early 1900s and it produced 425 cars that year. It was the rst high-powered volume gasoline powered automobile. Olds was acquired by General Motors in 1908. In 1904, the Maxwell-Briscoe Company of Tarrytown, N.Y., was formed. Sales were good but a re in 1907 forced a move to New Castle, Ind. It was acquired by Walter Flanders who organized the company as

Maxwell Motor Company, Inc., and moved to Detroit. The Maxwell was one of the top three sellers for a while but competition forced it to be sold to a former employee, Walter Chrysler in 1927. The Chrysler Corporation was then formed. Henry Ford jumped into the competition and began producing his autos in 1903. He produced many prototypes over the next few years until he hit upon his successful production, the earth-shaking model, the Model T, in 1908. Being very innovative, Ford developed the moving assembly line to put cars together and by doing this, blew the competition away for many years. The Model T was the rst to be mass produced on assembly lines with completely interchangeable parts, and marketed to the middle class. The Model T was

started with a hand crank. My uncle Bill lost his front teeth when his crank kicked back into his face while trying to start the engine. The auto had a ywheel magneto that produced the spark. A battery, added in 1928, was added for more dependable spark to the spark plugs. Electric headlights were added in 1915 and, after 1919, most cars were equipped with electric starting. The two-speed transmission with a reverse gear later evolved into a threespeed stick shift. The automatic transmission was developed later and was standard on only high-priced cars at rst. Wooden artillery wheels caused the tire to separate from the rim. Steel welded-spoke wheels became available in 1926 and the rim problem was solved thus cutting down on accidents when the tire ew off of the car.

In 1927, Henry Ford watched the 15 millionth Model T Ford roll off of the assembly line in Highland Park, Mich. Chevrolet made its debut in 1911 with Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant managing the production and business. Differences in management troubled the company and Chevrolet was acquired by General Motors in 1917. The gas-powered, internal engine automobile became a dominant factor in our society that affected all phases of life in the United States.

Murdoch on hand as paper dies


By Cassandra Vinograd
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Rupert Murdoch touched down in London on Sunday to take charge of his media empires phone-hacking crisis as his bestselling Sunday tabloid, the News of the World, published its last. The scandal lives on despite his sacrice of the 168-year-old paper at the heart of it. The scrapping of the News of the World has not tempered British anger over improprieties by journalists working for Murdoch, and his $19 billion deal to take full control of satellite broadcaster British Sky Broadcasting remains in jeopardy. The 80-year-old News Corp. CEO was seen reading the papers last issue in a red Range Rover as he was driven to the east London ofces of his U.K. newspaper division, News International. Later, at his London apartment, he met with News Internationals chief executive, Rebekah Brooks, who led News of the World when its reporters committed some of the most egregrious ethical lapses. Murdoch has publicly backed Brooks, who insists she had no knowledge of wrongdoing. He put his hand on her shoulder as they left the residence about an hour after she arrived; they smiled for the pack of photographers and camera crews gathered outside before walking to a nearby hotel for a meal. The drama gripping media watchers in Britain and beyond has expanded at breakneck pace following allegations News of the World journalists paid police for information and hacked into the voicemails of young murder victims and the grieving families of dead soldiers. Three people have been arrested, including Prime Minister David Camerons former communications chief. In its last edition Sunday, the paper issued a full-page apology. We praised high standards, we demanded high standards but, as we are now only too painfully aware, for a period of a few years up to 2006 some who worked for us, or in our name, fell shamefully short of those standards, the editorial read.

allowed while a phone-hacking investigation is ongoing, and he vowed to push for a parliamentary vote if Prime Minister David Cameron fails to act. When the public have seen the disgusting revelations that we have seen this week, the idea that this organization, which engaged in these terrible practices, should be allowed to take over BSkyB, to get that 100 percent stake, without the criminal investigation having been completed...frankly that just wont wash with the public, he told the BBC. The scandal exploded this week after it was reported that News of the World had hacked the mobile phone of 13-year-old murder victim Milly Dowler in 2002 while her family and police were desperately searching for her. News of the World operatives reportedly deleted some messages from the phones voicemail, giving the girls parents false hope that she was still alive. Brooks told lawmakers she had no knowledge whatsoever of the Milly Dowler hacking or any other case while she was editor, according to a letter published by Britains home affairs select committee on Saturday. But in addition to calling for her ouster, many journalists and media watchers wonder if she might be the next focus in an ongoing police investigation. The developments have turned up the heat on Britains media industry amid concerns a police investigation wont stop with the News of the World, and cast new scrutiny on the relationship between British politicians and the tabloid press. Buying the News of the World in 1969 gave the Australian-born Murdoch his first foothold in Britains media. He went on to snap up several other titles, gaining almost unparalleled inuence in British politics. Cameron has conceded that politicians developed too cozy a relationship with the tabloid press, and has called for a new media regulation system and pledged a public inquiry into what went wrong. His former communications chief, Andy Coulson, is an ex-editor of the News of the World and was one of three men arrested last week as part of a police investigation into the phone-hacking and corruption allegations. Police themselves also are a focus of criticism, not just for the corruption that allowed journalists to access to cell phone data, but for an initial, failed investigation into the hacking. As the News of the Worlds nal issue went to press, Assistant Police Commissioner John Yates expressed his extreme regret that he did not act to reopen police inquiries into phone hacking two years ago. In an interview with the Sunday Telegraph, he said its clear I could have done more. Yates will give evidence to Parliament in the coming days.

simply, we lost our way. Some of the 200 journalists being laid off from News of the World appeared to sneak in their own message to Brooks, who kept her job. Clues in one crossword puzzle included Brook, stink, catastrophe and criminal enterprise. A second crossword contained the hints string of recordings and what many interpreted to be a direct jab at Brooks: Woman stares wildly at calamity. The answer to that clue? Disaster. The papers demise does not end the questions surrounding Murdochs media conglomerate, which has been hugely inuential in British politics for years. Chief among them: What did Murdoch, Brooks and other executives know about the actions of News of the World journalists?

The Guardian newspaper reported Sunday that emails and memos from 2007 only recently turned over to police indicate News International was aware that phone hacking was more widespread than publicly acknowledged. The BBC reported that News International had found emails at the same time period that suggested payments were being made to police for information. Closing down the News of the World was seen by some as a desperate attempt to stem negative fallout from the hacking scandal and thus save Murdochs 12 billion-pound ($19 billion) to get full ownership of BSkyB, which he already holds a stake in. The British government has signaled that deal will be delayed because of the crisis. Britains opposition leader Ed Miliband warned that a Murdoch takeover of BSkyB should not be
