San Mateo Mayor Brandt Grotte dislikes
leaf blowers so much he is ready to ask his
colleagues on the council to ban them out-
right.
He realizes the community and council may
not support such a ban, however.
I dont want to be close-minded, but I
dont believe they are a
necessity, he told the
Daily Journal yesterday.
The citys Community
Development Department
is currently seeking coun-
cil direction regarding
municipal code and the
use of leaf blowers with a
focus on reducing carbon
emissions and noise.
Potential changes to municipal code include
the outright ban on all leaf blowers; restricting
the types of leaf blowers, such as gas-powered
ones; creating zones to allow leaf blower
operation on certain days during specific
hours; and reducing the hours of leaf blower
operation citywide.
Recently, the Burlingame City Council
amended its municipal code to restrict the use
of leaf blowers by day, hour and zone.
San Mateo could move in this direction if
the council does not support a complete ban.
I use rakes and brooms and clean my yard
up pretty quickly, Grotte said.
Enforcing the current city code related to
leaf blowers is difcult, he said. Banning
them outright would take code enforcement

House approves
Bush-era tax cuts
No expectation the Senate will consider
measure before the November elections
By Andrew Taylor and Donna Cassata
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON With the government heading toward a
year-end scal cliff, House Republicans approved a full plate
of Bush-era tax cuts Wednesday that they
said could help shore up a still-frail nation-
al economy. At the same time, the Obama
administration warned that threatened
budget cuts could send some of Americas
troops into battle with less training.
For all the action and talk, however, both
taxes and spending were deeply enmeshed
in campaign politics, with no resolution
expected until after the elections.
Democrats are demanding that any com-
promise to avoid the $110 billion in budget cuts that are sched-
uled to kick in Jan. 2 include a tax increase on high-income
earners. Republicans reject the idea of raising rates on anyone
as the economy struggles to recover fully from recession.
There are ve months remaining for Congress to act, act-
ing White House Budget Director Jeff Zients told the House

Communication. Timing. Safety.
The men and women reghters who
work in San Mateo County are constant-
ly training to improve responses to a
variety of emergencies including wild-
land res, terrorist attacks, toxic spills
and other tragedies.
Currently, the Redwood City Fire
Department and other agencies are con-
ducting a training drill that mimics a
multi-casualty incident with a few sur-
prises thrown in to make the experience
as real as possible.
About 300 reghters in central coun-
ty agencies are participating in the train-
ing exercise now at the San Mateo
County Event Center up until Aug. 9 that
includes Stanfords Life Flight and other
air ambulance resources to improve
response to traumatic events.
Redwood City Battalion Chief Dave
Pucci and Carl Kustin, the San Mateo
Fire Departments training division bat-
talion chief help lead the drills and it is
serious business.
The emphasis is on communication
from dispatch to those on scene and with
the other engines and trucks that respond
to mutual aid calls.
The drill brought together reghters
from San Mateo, Foster City, San Bruno,
Burlingame, Hillsborough and
Woodside.
Kustin considers himself a mentor to
the younger reghters.
I owe a debt of gratitude to the men-
tors that came before me and I want to
pass it down, Kustin told the Daily
Journal.

Police: Drunken man gets
into dozing couples bed
PUTNAM TOWNSHIP, Mich.
Authorities say a Michigan couple got an
unexpected visit from a drunken 27-year-
old neighbor who wandered into their cot-
tage and climbed into bed with them.
The Livingston County Daily Press &
Argus of Howell reports that the man
showed up in their Putnam Township bed-
room around 3:30 a.m. Sunday.
Police say the couple left and called
911, and that ofcers found the man
deeply asleep with his shorts partly down.
Police say the intruder said, This isnt
my house, upon waking. He explained he
went out drinking nearby after putting his
2- and 4-year-old children to sleep at his
own home a few doors down.
The children were found sound asleep
and placed with neighbors. Their father
was booked on suspicion of illegal entry
and released on bond.

Teddy bears drop in, bring
down two Belarus generals
MINSK, Belarus Its probably the

Belarus authoritarian President
Alexander Lukashenko has sacked two of
the nations top defense ofcials after two
Swedish advertising agency employees
piloted a light plane into the countrys
heavily guarded airspace, dropping 879
teddy bears decked out in parachutes and
slogans supporting human rights.
Ofcials in the ex-Soviet state denied
the July 4 incident until Lukashenko
called a meeting last week to scold
authorities for allowing such a provoca-
tion.
The Belarusian ruler nicknamed
Europes last dictator on Tuesday red
the nations air defense chief and the head
of the Border Guards service and repri-
manded several other top security of-
cials, his ofce said Wednesday.
Thomas Mazetti and Hannah Frey, the
two Swedes behind the stunt, said they
wanted to show support for Belarusian
human rights activists and embarrass the
countrys military, a pillar of
Lukashenkos power.
Hopefully, weve made people more
aware in the world and that there will be
more people supporting Belarusian peo-
ple, Frey said.
The Swedes yearlong preparations
involved learning how to pilot the three-
seater Jodel aircraft and purchasing the
plane. They nanced the (EURO)150,000
($184,500) cost of the stunt with their
work in a small advertising agency.
The pair said they were inspired by sim-
ilar protests staged by Belarusian activists,
who have at times arranged plush toys in
such a way that they appeared to be
protesting the regime.
Our campaign was a campaign in sup-
port of that. An airlift in support of the
teddy bears, from teddy bears around the
world, Mazetti said.
The ight began and ended at the
Pociunai aireld in southern Lithuania.
Thunderstorms that day may have made it
harder for Belarus to scramble aircraft to
intercept their plane, said Mazetti, though
he acknowledged they risked being shot
down.
We ew an airplane at 50 meters, thats
150 feet, for one and a half hours inside
Belarus. Of course we were aware of the
risks. But it was a calculated risk and we
thought we needed to take that risk our-
selves - we couldnt hire anyone, he told
the Associated Press during an interview
in Berlin, where the two are currently
staying.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Daly City woman who reportedly
poured boiling water over her sleeping ex-
husband because she allegedly thought he was
unfaithful will stand trial in late January on
charges of murder and torture stemming from
the mans death two weeks later.
Jesusa Ursonal Tatad, 40, is also charged
with assault with a deadly weapon, aggravat-
ed mayhem and domestic violence. At her
Superior Court arraignment, Tatad pleaded
not guilty to all charges and was scheduled
for trial Jan. 28.
Tatad and her husband
Ronie, 36, were divorced
but living together.
Prosecutors say Jesusa
Tatad thought he was
unfaithful and, at approxi-
mately 10:50 a.m. Nov.
26, boiled a pot of water
which she poured on his
face and upper body. The
sleeping man reportedly awoke in intense pain
and tried running to the bathroom for safety.
Jesusa Tatad, who prosecutors say was wait-
ing for him, reportedly struck him in the head
with a baseball bat. The man managed to ee
the second-story apartment on Coronado
Avenue and found a security guard who called
police.
Ronie Tatad was treated for second- and
third-degree burns on more than 60 percent of
his face and body but died Dec. 9.
Jesusa Tatad has reportedly denied hitting
him with the bat.
She is in custody without bail and returns to
court Nov. 13 for a pretrial conference.

Good Samaritan stabbing
suspect to trial this fall
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
An alleged would-be mugger accused of
stabbing a teenage Good Samaritan who
stepped in at his mothers urging in April will
stand trial this fall on charges of attempted
robbery and assault with a deadly weapon.
Hector Mora, 29, pleaded not guilty to all
charges and was scheduled for jury trial Nov.
13. He also returns to court Oct. 16 for a pre-
trial conference.
San Mateo police arrested Mora April 12
not far from the Monte Diablo Avenue over-
crossing where they say he confronted a 55-
year-old Spanish-speaking man with a knife
and asked what he had in his bag.
A San Mateo woman who spotted the con-
frontation yelled to her sons, ages 17 and 20,
and they ran from their apartment to the
bridge. Mora allegedly raised the knife to the
17-year-old, stabbing him in the hand and
forearm, before running away. The teen
required eight stitches.
Police arrested Mora nearby and the victim
and sons identified him.
He remains in custody in lieu of $50,000
bail.
A senior Pacic Gas & Electric Co. engineer
testied that he repeatedly warned his supervi-
sors before a fatal gas pipeline explosion in a
San Francisco suburb that the utilitys gas
records were incomplete, but they did nothing
about it.
Todd Arnett said in a deposition taken as part
of a lawsuit against PG&E after the 2010 blast
in San Bruno that he was concerned those
shoddy records could endanger lives. The blast
killed eight people, injured dozens and
destroyed 38 homes.
Arnetts deposition was led on Tuesday in
San Mateo County Superior Court by attorneys
for the 350 plaintiffs in the suit. PG&E has said
the explosion was an accident.
The suit is scheduled to go to trial in
October.
Arnett said the incomplete and inaccurate
records were contained in PG&Es geographic
information system. The system is supposed to
include details about a pipelines history and
characteristics.
Federal and state regulators have said there
were errors and missing information.
PG&E, for example, was not aware that the
pipeline that exploded in San Bruno had a
seam, according to federal investigators. If it
had, the utility would have been required to
prove the line was in good condition.
PG&E spokeswoman Brittany Chord said
the utility will le its response to the plaintiffs
claims in court by Aug. 20.
PG&E President Chris Johns has said he was
told only after the blast that the geographic
information system could use improvements.
The Sept. 9, 2010, blast has been blamed on
an inferior pipeline weld. According to a
March review by PG&E, more than 200 of its
high-pressure transmission pipelines still have
sections riddled with vulnerable seam welds.
Engineer says utility knew
pipeline records incomplete

Man who attacked BART
employee with cane sentenced to jail
A 45-year-old Oakland man who used his
cane to assault a BART train operator at the
Millbrae station earlier this year has been sen-
tenced to nine months in San Mateo County Jail,
the district attorney said Wednesday.
San Mateo County Superior Court Judge
Mark Forcum Wednesday morning gave Joseph
Carnell Smith the option to serve his sentence at
a residential substance abuse treatment facility if
he nds one that is willing to accept him, District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
On May 2, Smith was apparently asleep on a
BART train that pulled into Millbrae station on
its last stop of the night, Wagstaffe said.
The train operator saw Smith as he was per-
forming a nal sweep of the cars, and pounded
on the train windows and told him to leave,
Wagstaffe said.
Prosecutors said Smith got off the train,
walked about 10 feet and then turned around and
rushed the train operator, hitting him on the chin
and hand with a cane.
The victim suffered minor cuts and bruises in
the attack, and Smith was taken into custody by
BART police.
On June 28, Smith pleaded no contest to
felony assault on a transit employee, Wagstaffe
said.
He had faced a maximum sentence of three
years in prison.
Suspect caught on video arrested
A Hayward man was arrested Tuesday night
for allegedly robbing a Belmont home July 10
during the middle of the day.
The suspect and his car were captured on a
neighbors security camera, which helped lead to
the 32-year-old mans arrest, according to
Belmont police.
The suspect is seen in the video pulling up in
front of a neighboring residence and is then
shown walking to the victims residence, which
is out of view of the camera.
He returned a few minutes later with a suit-
case, which he loaded into his vehicle.
Numerous items were taken, including jewelry
and electronics. The suitcase used by the suspect
to carry the items from the house was among the
items taken, according to police.
Working on tips received from the public as a
result of release of the surveillance video,
Belmont police detectives were able to identify
the suspect as John Anthony Bentley, 32, of
Hayward.
Tuesday night, police took Bentley into cus-
tody without incident at his residence in the 600
block of Schafer Road in Hayward. A search of
the residence resulted in detectives collecting
numerous items of evidence, including property
taken in the Belmont burglary, according to
police.
The vehicle shown in the neighbors video, a
green 2000 Mercedes CL500, was also found at
the residence and is registered to Bentley,
according to police.
Bentley was booked into the San Mateo
County Jail in Redwood City on charges of bur-
glary and possession of stolen property.
We were hoping that by putting the video out
to the public, we would get the tip that would
lead us to this suspect and thats exactly what
happened said Belmont Police Chief Dan
DeSmidt. We would like to thank the media for
getting the information on this case out to the
public and thank the members of the public who
came forward with information. This is an
example of the public and law enforcement
working together to deal with crime.
PG&E to vent gas pipe
Pacic Gas and Electric will vent a natural gas

SACRAMENTO A bipartisan group of
lawmakers has formally requested a detailed
review of the California specialty license plate
program, the rst in the programs 20-year
history.
The request comes in response to an investi-
gation by the Associated Press that found little
oversight of the $250 million raised since the
program was authorized.
The AP also found that Gov. Jerry Brown
and former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger had
taken $3 million raised by a memorial plate
created in honor of the victims of the 2001 ter-
ror attacks. The money was used to help close
the states budget decit.
Sen. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, Sen.
Ted Gaines, R-Roseville, and
Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla, D-Concord,
asked the Joint Legislative Audit Committee
to authorize a review of the memorial plate
program and a random sample of the 10 other
specialty plates, which include the Lake Tahoe
and California Fireghter plate programs.
If people broke the law and moved the
money around in a way that was contrary to
statue, they should be either disciplined or ter-
minated, DeSaulnier said. As public agen-
cies, we dont have a lot of credibility to begin
with and these are the things that lead to even
less credibility.
His ofce sent a copy of the letter to the AP
on Wednesday.
In May, Brown asked the administrations
Department of Finance to audit the plates pro-
gram. He said he would use the results of the
review, which is ongoing, to decide when to
pay back the $3 million loan from the memo-
rial plate fund.
Specialty plates have been a boon for public
agencies and nonprot organizations since the
Legislature authorized the program in 1992 as
a fundraising tool.
California has 10 special-interest license
plates that support causes including child safe-
ty and the upkeep of Lake Tahoe, with an 11th,
supporting agricultural education, on the way.
The AP review found there is virtually no
independent oversight of how organizations
spend the money.

AKRON, Ohio President Barack Obama
made his rivals personal millions a front-and-
center issue in the race for the White House on
Wednesday, telling a swing-state audience
that Mitt Romney is asking you to pay more
so that people like him can get a big tax cut.
In order to afford just one $250,000 tax cut
for somebody like Mr. Romney, 125 families
like yours would have to pay another $2,000
in taxes each and every year, Obama added,
citing a report that his opponents aides imme-
diately denounced as deeply awed.
The president leveled his charge as Romney,
back from an overseas trip, looked ahead to an
intensive campaign stretch that will culminate
in his selection of a vice presidential running
mate as early as next week and the Republican
National Convention at months end.
There were hints that Republicans might
soon seek to expand the political playing eld
into Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin,
states that traditionally vote Democratic in a
presidential race. Campaign activity has been
relatively modest in all three since the end of
the GOP primaries.
Ofcials familiar with campaign advertising
said Restore our Future, a super Pac aligned
with the former Massachusetts governor, is
airing television ads in all three states that
retrace Romneys successful stewardship of
the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
After Sept.11, Romney delivered the
Olympics safe and sound, the announcer
says, referring to the aftermath of the terrorist
attacks of more than a decade ago.
The ad makes no mention of Obama, and
appears designed to give viewers a positive,
initial impression of a candidate they may
not know much about the type of com-
mercial that often serves as an introduction
to a longer campaign effort.
Obamas trip to Ohio was the ninth in his
drive for re-election, signifying the impor-
tance of a state he carried in 2008 and where
more money has been spent on ads than in any
other this year. No Republican has ever cap-
tured the White House without carrying Ohio.
Obama campaigned in Manseld and then
Akron, and his campaign backed his rhetoric
with a new ad that described Romneys eco-
nomic plan this way: a new $250,000 tax cut
for millionaires. Increase military spending.
Adding trillions to the Decit.
Ryan Williams, a spokesman for Romney,
called it a ridiculous ad coming from a pres-
ident who shattered his pledge to cut the
decit in half by the end of his rst term.
The president told his rst audience of the
day that the entire centerpiece of my oppo-
nents economic plan is a new $5 trillion tax
cut on top of the Bush tax cuts.
As the audience booed, Obama added that
taxpayers making more than $3 million a year
would receive a tax cut totaling almost a
quarter of a million dollars.
Citing a new report by a nonpartisan organ-
ization, he said the middle class would be hit
with an average tax increase of more than
$2000, in the form of a reduction in existing
breaks for home mortgage deductions, health
care premiums and the cost of a college edu-
cation.

Congresswoman to

WASHINGTON Rep. Laura Richardson,
D-Calif., improperly compelled her congres-

reprimanded and ned for
violating standards of
conduct, the House Ethics
Committee announced
Wednesday.
The committee said she
admitted to all seven
counts of violations and
agreed to the proposed
punishment, which awaits
House action.
The committee unanimously adopted the
report of its investigative panel, in which
investigators detailed the third-term lawmak-
ers coercion, attempts to alter evidence and
efforts to inuence the testimony of staff
members who would be witnesses.
Adoption of the report by the House would
constitute a reprimand. The House also was
asked by the committee to impose a $10,000
ne to be paid by Dec. 1.

NEW YORK How can a cancer come
back after its apparently been eradicated?
Three new studies are bolstering a long-debat-
ed idea: that tumors contain their own pool of
stem cells that can multiply and keep fueling
the cancer, seeding regrowth.
If thats true, scientists will need to nd a
way to kill those cells, apart from how they
attack the rest of the tumor.
Stem cells in healthy tissues are known for
their ability to produce any kind of cell. The
new research deals with a different kind, can-
cer stem cells. Some researchers, but not all,
believe they lurk as a persisting feature in
tumors.
Over the past decade, studies have found
evidence for them in tumors like breast and
colon cancers. But this research has largely
depended on transplanting human cancer cells
into mice that dont have immune systems, an
articial environment that raises questions
about the relevance of the results.
Now, three studies reported online
Wednesday in the journals Nature and Science
present evidence for cancer stem cells within
the original tumors. Again, the research relies
on mice. That and other factors mean the new
ndings still wont convince everyone that
cancer stem cells are key to nding more pow-
erful treatments.
But researcher Luis Parada, of the
University of Texas Southwestern Medical
Center in Dallas, believes his team is onto
something. He says that for the type of brain
tumor his team studied, weve identied the
true enemy.
If his nding applies to other cancers, he
said, then even if chemotherapy drastically
shrinks a tumor but doesnt affect its supply of
cancer stem cells, very little progress has
actually been made.
The three studies used labeling techniques
to trace the ancestry of cells within mouse
tumors.
Collectively, they give very strong sup-
port to the cancer stem cell theory, said
Jeffrey M. Rosen, a professor of molecular
and cellular biology at Baylor College of
Medicine in Houston.
Are tumors fueled by stem cells?

PITTSBURGH Is gas drilling
ruining the air, polluting water and
making people sick? The evidence
is sketchy and inconclusive, but a
lack of serious funding is delaying
efforts to resolve those pressing
questions and creating a vacuum
that could lead to a crush of law-
suits, some experts say.
A House committee in June
turned down an Obama administra-
tion request to fund $4.25 million in
research on how drilling may affect
water quality. In the spring,
Pennsylvania stripped $2 million of
funding that included a statewide
health registry to track respiratory
problems, skin conditions, stomach
ailments and other illnesses poten-
tially related to gas drilling.
Its almost as if its a secret, that
they dont want to know about peo-
ple who are affected, said Janet
McIntyre, who lives near a drilling
area about 30 miles north of
Pittsburgh. Theres a lot of people
in my neighborhood that have rash-
es and little red spots.
State officials say the air and
water in the community is safe, and
doctors havent confirmed that
drilling caused illnesses. But with-
out a full-scale medical review or
other research in such cases, the
worries remain.
Right now, the kind of compre-
hensive research thats needed just
hasnt started, said Bernard
Goldstein, professor emeritus at the
University of Pittsburgh School of
Public Health.
The drilling boom has come about
because of advances in hydraulic
fracturing, or fracking, that have
made enormous reserves of gas
accessible, leading to more jobs and
prots and lower energy costs. But
there are also concerns about pollu-
tion. The gas is pulled from the
ground through a process in which
large volumes of water, plus sand
and chemicals, are injected deep
underground to break rock apart and
free the gas.
Environmentalists claim that the
uids associated with drilling could
rise and pollute shallow drinking
water aquifers, and that methane
leaks cause serious air pollution.
The industry and many government
officials say the practice is safe
when done properly, and many com-
munities welcome the jobs and the
royalty payments landowners
receive.
Gas drilling research lacks funding
LOS ANGELES The
Olympics are so popular at City Hall
that Los Angeles workers are being
urged to pull the plug or risk a
municipal computer meltdown.
Randi Levin, chief technology of-
cer for Californias largest city, sent an
email Tuesday to thousands of city
employees, asking them to stop watch-
ing the games online at work, accord-
ing to the Los Angeles Times. We are
experiencing a high volume of trafc
due to people watching the Olympics
online and it is affecting city opera-
tions, Levin said. Apparently city
employees got the message.
Internet trafc on the citys com-
puter system had returned to normal
Wednesday, said Mark Wolf, an
executive officer with the citys
information technology agency.
It had spiked about 20 percent,
Wolf told the Associated Press. It
was not enough to impact business
applications, but it was enough to
give us a nudge to see what it was.
We looked into it and saw it was
attributed to the Olympics video.
NBC streams the Olympics live
on the Internet. When employees
watch streamed material, it takes up
a tremendous amount of bandwidth,
Wolf said.
City Council members said work
is no place to watch the games.
City employees arent paid to
watch the Olympics on their com-
puters or TV. That is not what the
taxpayers are paying them to do,
Councilman Dennis Zine said.

then.
The proposed new rules make it
clear that someones location counts

Panetta asks Israel
for patience on Iran
By Robert Burns
JERUSALEM Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu, standing next to the U.S. defense chief, said
Wednesday without qualication that inter-
national economic sanctions have had no
effect on Irans nuclear program and sug-
gested Israeli patience was wearing thin, a
statement that amounted to an indictment
of President Barack Obamas policy
toward the Islamic republic.
Netanyahu dismissed U.S. Defense
Secretary Leon Panettas assurances that
the United States shared its goal of a non-
nuclear Iran, saying the central features of
Washingtons strategy for stopping the Islamic republics
nuclear ambitions sanctions and diplomacy were per-
ilously close to failure.
Netanyahu did not explicitly threaten to attack Iran, but that
was the unspoken implication of his assertion that all non-mil-
itary measures have proven ineffective in persuading Iran to
change its course.

BEIRUT Syrian President Bashar
Assad urged his military Wednesday to
boost its ght against
rebels, but his written
call to arms only
deepened a mystery
over his whereabouts
two weeks after a
bomb penetrated his
inner circle.
Assad has not spo-
ken publicly since
the July 18 bombing
killed four of his top
security ofcials including his broth-
er-in-law during a rebel assault on the
capital, Damascus. The presidents low
profile has raised questions about
whether he fears for his personal safety
as the civil war escalates dramatically.
The United States called the Syrian
president a coward for marshaling his
forces from the pages of the armys of-
cial magazine.
We think its cowardly, quite frankly,
to have a man hiding out of sight,
exhorting his armed forces to continue to
slaughter the civilians of his own coun-
try, said U.S. State Department
spokesman Patrick Ventrell.
Sausan Ghosheh, the spokeswoman
for the U.N. mission in Syria, said
Wednesday that international observers
witnessed warplanes ring in Aleppo,
Syrias largest city, where intense ght-
ing has been raging for 12 days.
Speaking to reporters in Damascus,
Ghosheh said the situation in Aleppo
was dire.
Yesterday, for the first time, our
observers saw ring from a ghter air-
craft. We also now have conrmation
that the opposition is in a position of
having heavy weapons, including tanks,
she said, adding that for civilians, there
is a shortage of food, fuel, water and
gas.
The U.N.s World Food Program said
it was sending enough emergency food
aid for 28,000 people in the city of 3 mil-
lion. The U.N. has estimated that some
200,000 residents have ed Aleppo.

BERLIN The British were offend-
ed, the Palestinians accused him of
racism and even in friendlier Poland,
Mitt Romneys union policies drew crit-
icism from the current leaders of the
movement that toppled communism.
Romneys visit to Britain, Israel and
Poland was never expected to produce
the same media frenzy as then-candidate
Barack Obamas extravagant, eight-
country tour of 2008.
Obama received rock star treatment
from international media and world
leaders as he traveled from the battle-
elds of Iraq and Afghanistan to the glit-
tering chancelleries
of Europe.
Ne v e r t h e l e s s ,
comparisons were
inevitable and much
of it was less than
favorable to the pre-
sumptive Republican
presidential nomi-
nee.
The designated
Republican presidential candidate Mitt
Romney wanted to demonstrate foreign
policy expertise and diplomatic skills
with his trip to Britain, Israel and
Poland, the Swiss newspaper Tages-
Zeitung said Tuesday. Today, on the
last day of the tour, he must be made to
admit that he clearly missed this target.
Romney supporters insisted that much
of the criticism was unfair and
overblown, especially in countries of
Europe where the political culture tends
to be left of contemporary America.
Back in 2008, commentators attrib-
uted much of the public adulation that
candidate Obama received in Europe to
the simple fact that he was not George
W. Bush, whose image had sunk
because of widespread opposition to the
Iraq war.
Likewise, the warm reception Romney
received in Poland was due in part to the
fact that he is not Barack Obama, whose
overtures to Russia and other policies
have not gone down well among Poles.

from Occupy Redwood City and
others who oppose the planned

member told the board they
neednt worry about maintaining
parks in North Fair Oaks because
all the lower-income residents
will just end up in jail where
they can be used as inmate labor
to work in the parks of more
affluent areas.
Another asked the supervisors
to elaborate further on the sug-
gestion of using free inmate
labor in the parks, saying doing
so makes them no different than
a plantation master. In case the
reference was unclear, she elabo-
rated that the label is because the

white.

Slots target of raid
A San Carlos company that
rents slot machines for parties was
searched by agents from the
Department of Justice Division of
Gambling Control the week of
Aug. 3, 2007.
State agents served the search
warrant on 4S Casino Party
Suppliers, located at 1449 Bayport
Ave., following an investigation
that dates back to 1999.
At least two other locations in
San Mateo County were also
served with search warrants relat-
ed to the case.
In 2006, state gambling authori-
ties searched the shop in San
Carlos and seized 10 slot
machines thought to be antiques.
State law regarding the use of slot
machines is complex, limiting
what types of slot machines can
be used based on age.
San Carlos hospital
financial offer sweetened
The week of Aug. 3, 2007, the
Palo Alto Medical Foundation
sweetened its offer to San Carlos
for approval of a new hospital by
agreeing to pay earlier amounts
based on the initial $5 million
endowment payment.
The San Carlos City Council
asked for earlier endowment pay-
ments at a previous meeting but
the details of the proposed devel-
opment agreement were not
hashed out until a public hearing
that week on the financial devel-
opment agreement.
The city was guaranteed a better
financial influx by the PAMF
development agreement than the
possible outcome of other devel-
opment uses, said Assistant City
Manager Brian Moura.
If accepted by the City Council,
the PAMF agreement was to give
the city a $5 million payment
prior to the first building permit
followed by a $4 million payment
within 24 months from funding of
the first payment.
County has botulism scare

recall distributed to San Mateo
County charities that use the food
pantry.
San Mateo County had no con-
firmed cases of botulism but pub-
lic health is working to pinpoint
the cause of the four peoples
symptoms.
Botulism symptoms begins
between from six hours to two
weeks after ingesting food with
the toxin and include blurry
vision, slurred speech, dry mouth,
muscle weakness and difficulty
swallowing. At its extreme, botu-
lism causes paralysis of the
breathing muscles which can be
fatal.
The recall included dozens of
products, including canned chili
and meat and four pet food prod-
ucts. The four ill people reported-
ly used Morton House canned
chili with chicken.
Second Harvest received a call
from CALL Primrose, a
Burlingame-based nonprofit,
about the sicknesses after it enact-
ed a voluntary recall of all chili
products, said Lynn Crocker,
director of marketing and commu-
nications for Second Harvest.
The effort came after the
mandatory recall of hot dog chili
and chili sauces made by
Castleberrys Food Co. of
Augusta, Ga. On July 18, 2007,
the Food and Drug Administration
warned consumers about the risk
of botulism from the products
marketed under a variety of
names.

OPINION 9
Disappointed in
county leadership
Editor,
Sue Lemperts column More ques-
tions about special districts published
in the July 30 edition of the Daily
Journal articulates very clearly what we
all already know: the obsolete roles
played in special districts and the
unnecessary existence of various spe-
cial districts.
Unfortunately, in the case of hospital
districts, district boards have always
felt better qualied than the taxpayers
to allocate our tax dollars to the various
charities of their choice.
I was very disappointed with the
decision to continue the status quo of
the mosquito district, after much pos-
turing on its part. It is amazing how
one can act when it is not ones own
money involved.
Sure, another 0.5 percent of sales tax
added to our current rate, and a few
more parcel assessments would solve
many problems for a while.
By the time that money is not suf-
cient or runs out, the current supervi-
sors may already be serving in the state
Assembly or the Senate instead.

Health care costs
Editor,
Mr. Anderson asks how insuring
more people can cost extra (Health
care letter to the editor in the July 31
edition of the Daily Journal). Currently
most hospitals have no way of recoup-
ing the costs of treating the poor and
uninsured. They can try to raise their
rates, but those are xed by Medicare
and by their contracts with insurance
companies. Most health care econo-
mists that I have heard speak feel that it
will be the hospitals that suffer most in
the coming years and they expect a
rash of hospital closures throughout the
country. I would ask Mr. Anderson who
he expects to pay the monthly insur-
ance premiums for the 40 million to 50
million people who will not be paying
into the system it undoubtedly will
be the taxpayer in one form or another.
Again, if you believe that health care is
a basic right, then this should not upset
you.

Irresponsible and careless
Editor,
The recent rate increase by the South
Bay System Authority (SBSA) is com-
municated to the communities affect-
ed as a way to pay for improvements
to the wastewater system. One of
those improvements is behind sched-
ule more than a year because of non-
performance of the general contractor
and subcontractors. This resulted in
the SBSD in having to start over again
with a new set of players at increased
costs to a bond supported by rate pay-
ers. This I can understand and forgive.
But when the SBSD Board made the
choice to forgive the non-performers
and sealed the deal with a termination
agreement which indemnified and
held harmless those same bad actors, I
question their judgment. Public offi-
cials are elected to look out for the
best interest of the community they
serve. When they fail to act properly
and prevent the same contractors from
doing the same thing or worse to
another municipality that awards proj-
ects on behalf of rate payer and tax-
payer it is irresponsible and careless.

The Record
A
nd now the ght over water
begins. Again. Water wars are
nothing new in California,
land of Mediterranean climes and abun-
dant water but much of it in the wrong
places. Virtually since settlers moved
into this diverse state, theyve argued
over water: who has it, who gets it and
what it costs some to provide it to oth-
ers.
Delta region residents are understand-
ably upset by Gov. Jerry Browns push
to carve two huge tunnels 35 miles
straight under the Delta, suck water
from the Sacramento River and deliver
it to massive pumps near Tracy for
shipment to points south. Thats done
now, much to the detriment of the
Delta, but at least the water runs
through it.
Opponents ask, and reasonably so,
how siphoning a huge percentage of the
Sacramento River ow at the north end
of the Delta, and bypassing the estuary,
enhances the water quality of that frag-
ile eco-system. They ask what that
diversion means to a region that
accounts for 43 percent of this countys
$2.2 billion annual farm production.
They ask how that diversion strength-
ens the fragile levees that lace the
Delta. They ask how that diversion
holds back the rising Pacic and the
saltwater intrusion that poisons wells.
They ask and the governor responds
with an expletive: I want to get s
done.
Big things, obviously, like his dad,
Pat Brown, did as governor when he
pushed enhancements to the states
highways and higher education system.
Jerry Brown wants his high-speed rail
system, and he wants more water for
the arid south Valley and more water
for the thirsty southlands. He wants a
legacy.
What opponents dont want is Jerry
Brown turning this region into the
Owens Valley, a onetime Garden of
Eden on the eastern slope of the south-
ern Sierra Nevada that Los Angeles
water interests turned into a desert.
One of the problems with the tunnel
plan - and there are many with what is
a below-ground version of the peripher-
al canal voters rejected in 1982 when
Brown also was governor is that no
new water sources are created. No stor-
age. No conservation. No saltwater
desalination. No nothin. Just a water
grab.
Were going to make decisions and
get it done, the governor vowed. Of
course, the decisions have already been
made - witness Browns very next sen-
tence: If we have to ght initiatives or
referendums, well ght those, too.
So much for his promise to take into
account the opposition.
It sounds very much like hes taken
them into account more correctly
counted them and discovered that
there are many more people living
south of the Tehachapi Mountains. And
they have a lot more money.
It would be a mistake, however, to
count this region, its residents and its
environment out. Brown should remem-
ber one date: June 8, 1982. Thats the
date that should have proven to Brown
that, as he likes to say, California is one
state. On that day, 62 percent of voting
Californians said no to unplugging the
Delta from its plumbing system with
his rst bypass proposal, the infamous
peripheral canal.
As this ght goes forward, it will be
up to opponents to get that fact before
voters especially in the south state,
where the Delta, if its known at all, is
just some area up there and that
there are easier, cheaper and less harm-
ful ways to make sure no Californian
goes thirsty.
More needs to be done, both locally
and at the state level. The governors
plan and local reforms are only a start,
but it is vital to begin in view of these
increasingly heavy public liabilities.
Browns tunnel vision
Spoil sport
T
o the victor go the spoils. however, it kind of feels
like the Olympic viewers are the ones getting
spoiled and not in a good way.
Somebody hoping to watch an event perched on the edge
of the coach, white-knuckled with anticipation as Phelps
lunges for the wall or
Wieber makes a wobble,
would have been hard-
pressed this week to do so
without already knowing
the outcome.
Failing to avoid Olympic
spoilers is through no lack
of trying. In fact, in theory
keeping blinders on should-
nt be so impossible. Avoid
newspaper articles on the
events. Turn off the radio.
Make sure coworkers and
friends know better than to
start any sentence with,
Oh my god, did you see
what happened in (insert event name here)? Eschew
Twitter. Vow off Facebook. Only turn on the television to
watch events, not the news or even entertainment channels
which somehow have made the Olympics their own, too.
Side note: Can anybody tell Ryan Seacrest his image does
not scream legitimate sports commentator? But I
digress.
Yet figuring out when to watch what is the first chal-
lenge. If a clear schedule somewhere with any sense of
rhyme and reason exists, please share. Id prefer not to
DVR seven hours of events and wade through competi-
tions that hold little interest in the hope the coveted swim-
ming relays or beach volleyball matches pop up. Then,
even when they do, there is no chance of watching an
entire event from beginning to end without the broadcast
sidestepping into something else.
The Fab Five were barely out of the vault competition
when bam! NBC decided bits of swimming and
cycling should be sprinkled in. Perhaps some viewers like
the variety but there must be others like myself who would
prefer a single focus. When Gabby Douglas is about to hit
the uneven bars and the glittery Russian girls are holding
back tears, basketball highlights are the furthest things on
my mind (although watching a Tunisian player ask for
Kobe Bryants autograph was cute).
The breaks also offer opportunities for the commentators
to slip, to give up the outcome of other events and again
spoil the anticipation.
On the other hand, I will concede some coverage heads-
ups encourage me make a point of watching events Id oth-
erwise ignore. Badminton? Match-fixing scandal? Teams
so obviously throwing the game the crowd booed the slow-
moving shuttlecocks? Gotta see that for myself.
Trying to avoid inadvertent disclosures is no longer
worthwhile. The first few days were passable. Then I visit-
ed the home page of a different newspaper. One column
was good about the womens gymnastics qualifier
SPOILER in all caps marked the otherwise innocuous
headline. Then my eyes drifted to the right hand column of
most read stories. The third or fourth headline down was
a dead giveaway: Weiber fails to qualify.
Sigh. So much for that.
Another day, the smartphone buzzed with an Associated
Press alert. Michael Phelps got silver but hey, he and Ryan
Lochte earned the gold! Perhaps it would be less annoying
if viewers neednt wait until the late hours to actually see
the aquatic showdowns.
The Olympic Games raise plenty of questions for which
Id have no problem getting an immediate answer. Why are
there only five gymnasts per team now instead of the pre-
vious seven? Why is the national anthem of each basket-
ball team played before the game? Shouldnt athletes be
busy training and concentrating rather than getting in
Twitter fights with commentators? How disheartened do
the high school swimmers pitted against Missy Franklin
back home feel at competition? Why is Ryan Lochtes
mom talking about his fondness for one-night stands? The
Chinese divers parents really withheld the knowledge of
her grandparents death and mothers breast cancer so as
not to break her concentration really? And, lastly, how
in the world does McKayla Maroney vault like she does
and what the heck did the judges deduct?
This is the information I want spoon-fed, not the stand-
ings or scores. Unfortunately, in this world of tape delays,
social media, network ratings and advertising, the hardest
record to beat is that of remaining unaware.

NEW YORK There was more than
one story line playing out in the stock
market Wednesday.
The market wavered between gains and
losses for much of the day, yanked around
by technical problems, an ambiguous
statement from the Federal Reserve, and
mixed reports on U.S. companies that
made it difcult to decipher just where the
economy is headed.
By the time it was all over, all the key
indexes were down, their third straight day
of losses. The euphoria of late last week,
when investors celebrated after European
leaders promised to keep the euro zone
intact, seemed a distant memory.
The Dow Jones industrial average shed
32.55 points to 12,976.13. The Standard
& Poors 500 fell four points to 1,375.32.
And the Nasdaq composite index lost
19.31 points to 2,920.21.
Heres a look at the key developments
Wednesday:
THE ECONOMY
For every hint that the economy is
improving, another cropped up to indicate
that it isnt.
Chrysler, Volkswagen and Nissan
reported strong sales in July but
General Motors and Ford faltered.
Construction spending rose for the third
month in a row, according to one closely
watched report, but manufacturing activi-
ty shrank, according to another.
The cable company Comcast jumped 3
percent after beating analysts expecta-
tions for second-quarter earnings, but
Avon lost 1 percent, after missing them.
Comcast nished up $1 at $33.55. Avon
lost 19 cents to $15.30.
Zahid Siddique, portfolio manager at
Gamco in Rye, N.Y., captured the mood
simply: We have a couple of positives,
he said, offset by a couple of negatives.
TRADING GLITCHES
The opening minutes of trading were
chaotic for some companies, with their
shares swinging wildly for no immediate-
ly apparent reason. Abercrombie & Fitch,
for example, jumped 9 percent in early
trading, and Harley-Davidson sank 12
percent, before stabilizing.
The culprit was an unspecied problem
at Knight Capital, one of the largest
processors of stock trades. The New York
Stock Exchange, where the shares are
traded, eventually decided to cancel some
trades in six smaller stocks.
Among traders, the problems brought
unwelcome reminders of previous techno-
logical problems that have damaged
investors faith in the nancial system,
including technical problems on the
Nasdaq stock exchange when Facebook
went public in May.
These have happened not once but a
number of times, and unless theyre
addressed theyll continue to happen,
said Matthew Rubin, director of invest-
ment strategy at Neuberger Berman in
New York. I think its one of many, many
things that has rattled investors faith in
the equity markets.
THE FED
The Federal Reserve issued a statement
Wednesday afternoon after wrapping up a
two-day policy meeting, as is customary.
But investors hoping for clarity were
disappointed.
Investors reaction to the Fed statements
can be a perverse equation. Some
investors want the Fed to say that the
economy is doing poorly poorly
enough to persuade the Fed to take more
action to try to get it going again.
Instead, policymakers acknowledged
that the economy has ebbed so far this
year, but pledged merely to take further
steps in the future if necessary.
But there are also doubts as to whether
the Fed has any arrows left in its quiver. It
can lower interest rates to try to spur bor-
rowing, but rates are already at historic
lows. It can buy bonds to try to drive
investors into stocks, but the effect on the
fundamentals of the economy are debat-
able.
Stocks push lower
Wall Street
Stocks that moved substantially or
traded heavily Wednesday on the
New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq

Big movers
Japanese automakers
regain lost market share
By Dee-Ann Durbin and Tom Krisher
DETROIT Just when Detroit seemed to be luring them
away, Americans are embracing Japanese cars again.
Toyota and Honda lost ground last year after the Japanese
earthquake limited their supplies. But Julys U.S. sales show
theyve nearly regained what they lost, at the expense of GM and
Ford.
GM sales fell 6 percent and Ford sales were down 4 percent
compared with last July. Hondas sales were up 45 percent and
Toyota jumped 26 percent. Overall car and truck sales rose 9 per-
cent to 1.15 million, according to Autodata Corp.
Toyota and Honda have regained all of the share they lost, and
much faster than we thought they would, said Jesse Toprak, vice
president of market intelligence for the car buying site
TrueCar.com. Their customers appear to be a lot more loyal than
we gave them credit for.
Toprak and others thought that newer, better products at GM
and Ford, like the Chevrolet Cruze and Ford Focus small cars,
might permanently pull customers away from the Japanese after
the earthquake disrupted their supplies. Toyota had virtually no
Prius hybrids to sell last summer, for example.
But rivals gains havent lasted. The Cruze, which was the best-
selling subcompact in the country last July, saw sales plummet 40
percent last month. It was far outsold by the Honda Civic, whose
sales jumped more than 78 percent to just over 25,000. The
Toyota Corolla also topped the Cruze and Focus, even though its
an older car with fewer features.
Toyota commanded 14.3 percent of the U.S. market in July, up
from 12.3 percent a year ago and back to pre-earthquake levels.
GM had a 17.4 percent share, which matched its pre-earthquake
level and was down from 20.3 percent last July.
It was good news for the Japanese in an otherwise stagnant
month for the U.S. auto industry. July sales stayed at nearly the
same pace they were in June, or around 14.1 million on an annu-
alized basis. While thats better than the 12.8 million cars and
trucks sold in 2011, its a slower pace than at the start of this year.

Carlmont Scots
legend Justine
Record soaring
to pro heights
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There are certain images that
deserve a form of immortality.
At Carlmont High School, a quick
lap around the small gymnasium will
provide you with one such image. Its
of Justine Record high off the ground
and in the process of sending a mis-
sile over the net for a score. From
2005 to 2008, it happened over and
over again, much to the chagrin of the
opposition.
Fast forward four years, Record is
taking her high-ying act overseas
after a stellar career at Virginia Tech
that included the programs rst ever
trip the NCAA tournament. Record,
who graduated in May with a degree
in English, announced shell be play-
ing professionally for Toulon
Provence Mediterranean Var
Volleyball located in Toulon, France.
Im excited for this opportunity
and the experience to go over there
and the chance to continue to play,
Record said. I mean, why not play
the game you love for as long as you
can? I remember I started playing
volleyball when I was 14 in an area
league and it never occurred to me

American Leyva takes bronze in mens all-around
By Nancy Armour
LONDON Like pretty much
everybody, Danell Leyva thinks
Kohei Uchimura is the greatest male
gymnast whos ever lived.
For now.
While the three-time world cham-
pion was solidifying his exalted sta-
tus with the Olympic title
Wednesday, all but wrapping up the
gold midway through the meet,
Leyva gave a glimpse of what the
young American hopes could be the
sports next great rivalry. Closing
with perhaps the two most spectacu-
lar routines of the night, the 20-
year-old rallied to land in third
place.
It was only the second all-around
medal for a U.S. man since 1984,
and added yet another chapter to
Leyvas incredible story. He ed
Cuba as a sickly toddler with his
mother and older sister, making
their way to Miami through Peru
and Venezuela.
Im going to keep working to
beat him, Leyva said. His gym-
nastics is just so beautiful. ... Im
not trying to copy his style. I have
my own style. I need to perfect me
more to beat him.
Uchimura nished with 92.690
points, almost two in front of Leyva.
Marcel Nguyen won the silver, giv-
ing Germany its first Olympic
medal in the mens all-around since
1936.
When Uchimura finished floor
exercise, his nal routine, he gave a
slight bow to the crowd before
breaking into a wide grin. He
pumped his st toward several fans
waving Japanese ags as he trotted
off the podium, then graciously
accepted congratulations from his
competitors.
I have been a world champion
three times, three years in a row,
Uchimura said. But this is differ-
ent. Its once in four years, and the
wait was there. I felt like the demon
was chasing me this time.
That demon had about as much
luck as the rest of the world.
Uchimura has been untouchable

Finding my Olympic stride
F
or the rst three days of the
London Olympics, I was in
sports heaven. Spending the
weekend in Reno helping my par-
ents continue to settle into their new
senior com-
munity, I was
more or less
media free.
The only
O l y m p i c
results I saw
were from
competition I
watched on
television.
It was
O l y m p i c
bliss. For
once, I was
not railing against the stupidity of
sports on tape delay. While I had
access to the Internet, I never
checked to see what was going on in
the Olympics, mainly because I was
too busy to check.
So when I watched the Bob
Costa-helmed primetime show, it
was the rst time I was seeing the
events as if they were live, know-
ing they had occurred several hours
previously.
In this day and age, you have to
work to avoid seeing or hearing
about Olympic results, thanks main-
ly to social media and the ability to
post results mere seconds after their
completion.
My Olympic dream was shat-
tered, however, when I returned to
the Daily Journal offices on
Tuesday. Now, I would know the
results before I got to watch them on
television. When I got home
Tuesday night and the womens
team gymnastics were on, I told my
wife, I know who won.
It takes away some of the drama,
to be sure.
I cant be too upset, however. As
much as I hate NBCs policy of tape
delaying events, I have to say this is
one of the networks best efforts.
The fact the games are in Europe
helps with viewing. Unlike the 2008
Beijing Games, I know what day it
is in London and since the time dif-
ference is only eight hours, events
held in the afternoon in London are
being contested in the morning here
on the West Coast. There is no math
to be done to determine what time it
is, as was the case for me with the
games in China.

Bowman looking to build
on last seasons success
SANTA CLARA With new-
born twins waiting at home and
plenty of work
to do on the
field, NaVorro
Bowman is feel-
ing a great sense
of responsibility
this summer
with the San
Francisco 49ers.
That comes
with the territory
after Bowmans
emergence last
year as one of the NFLs best line-
backers in just his second season.
Bowman went from a reserve role
as a rookie to becoming a rst-team
All-Pro after the 49ers (No. 4 in the
AP Pro32) moved him into the start-
ing lineup last year. He quickly
asserted himself as a force in the
middle while helping San Francisco
assert itself as one of the NFLs best
defenses.
Now hes eager to build on what
he and the 49ers accomplished last
year while continuing to grow as a
person.
Thats the way Im going to stay
humble and grounded, Bowman
said Wednesday. I have to take care
of my responsibility, never be com-
placent, just continue doing the

LONDON Nathan Adrian took
out the Missile by a ngertip. Then
Allison Schmitt dealt more
heartache to the team from Down
Under.
Adrian, a 23-year-old largely
overshadowed by American stars
such as Michael Phelps and Ryan
Lochte, made a name for himself by
winning the 100-meter Olympic
freestyle Wednesday. He lunged to
the wall to edge James The
Missile Magnussen by one-hun-
dredth of a second the slightest
margin possible and again deny
Australia its rst individual swim-
ming gold of the London Games.
Adrian pounded the water, then
put his hands over his eyes while
dangling over the lane rope, as if he
couldnt believe the 1 beside his
name. Magnussen hung at the end
of the pool, staring straight ahead at
the wall in disbelief, the wall he got
to just a fraction of a second too
late.
Its not who swims the fastest
time this year, said Adrian, a not-
so-subtle dig at Magnussen posting
the best time ever in a textile suit
back in March. Its who can get
their hands on the wall rst here
tonight.
The Aussies took another bitter
defeat in the final event of the
evening, again to their American
rivals as Schmitt chased down
Alicia Coutts for gold in the 4x200
freestyle relay.
Schmitt dived in the water about a
half-second behind but passed
Coutts on their rst return lap and
won going away in 7 minutes, 42.92
seconds. The Australians settled for
another silver in 7:44.41, while
France took the bronze.
Schmitt is turning into one of the
biggest American stars of the
games, picking up her second gold
to go along with a silver and a
bronze. Seventeen-year-old Missy
Franklin also claimed her second
gold swimming the leadoff leg, and
Dana Vollmer now has two golds in
London. Shannon Vreeland rounded
out the gold medal-winning quartet.
Allison is a ghter and she can
push through anything, Franklin
said. We had total faith in her.
Like the Aussies, the record book
also took quite a beating.
Daniel Gyurta and Rebecca Soni
both set world records in the 200
breaststroke. The Hungarian won
gold, while Soni set her mark in a
seminal heat, further proof that its
still possible to go fast really fast
even without the now-banned
bodysuits. Five records have fallen
over the first five days at the
Olympic Aquatics Centre, defying
those who felt it would take years,
maybe even decades, to take down
some of the marks set with techno-
logical assistance.
If I feel good, I dont want to
hold back. I shouldnt, Soni said. I
just went for the last 50 and I start-
ed to hear the crowd halfway
through and just kept going with it.
Its been four years since I swam
close to that fast, so its great to be
back on top like that.
Adrian was on top of the world
after touching in 47.52, giving the
U.S. its rst title in swimmings sig-
nature event since Matt Biondi at
the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
Canadas Brent Hayden took sil-
ver in 47.80, his countrys first
medal ever in the furious down-and-
back sprint.
We were in the ready room and
we watched it and just went nuts,
Lochte said. We were screaming
and everything. That was one of the
greatest finishes. Were so happy
for him.
Adrian watched Sonis record on
television while chatting with
reporters in the mixed zone.
Whoa, Rebecca just set a world
record, he said. Im overshad-
owed by Rebecca setting a world
record.
He should be used to that by now,
swimming for a team that includes
Phelps and Lochte. But Adrian gave
a glimpse of his potential in the
4x100 free relay, going faster than
Magnussen on the opening leg, a
shocker given that the Missile had
looked unbeatable at last years
worlds and went a stunning 47.10 at
his countrys national trials.

Nigerians says they arent intimidated by U.S. men
LONDON The Americans are
big and bad as advertised, romping
through their rst two games at the
London Olympics by an average of
37 points, even without playing
their best basketball.
But is that reason to be afraid of
them?
Hardly, says Nigeria, their next
opponent on Thursday.
We will not be intimidated by
those guys, Ike Diogu, a former
top-10 NBA draft pick who has
played 225 NBA games, said after
Nigerias 72-53 loss to Lithuanian.
A lot of us went to school in the
U.S. and have played against those
guys. We have
no reason to
feel over-
whelmed.
Nigeria guard
Tony Skinn
agrees.
I mean, lis-
ten, man, Ive
been playing
ball for a long
time, said
Skinn, who was part of George
Masons improbable Final Four run
in 2006. At some point in time, I
played against those guys or seen
those guys play. A lot of us, obvi-
ously were Nigerians, but we play
in the States and I dont think we
have that mentality to just come in
the game and just, you know, get
our (butts) whooped.
Skinn and the Patriots beat
Michigan State, North Carolina and
Connecticut all perennial powers
who had been recent national cham-
pions. He wasnt afraid of those
teams and he shows no fear of
LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, or any
other U.S. player, either.
Thats not what were here
for, he said. Were here to com-
pete. Were competitors, and I
think that everybody on the team
has that approach.
The Americans, who did not
practice Wednesday, are
approaching the Nigeria game as
the step in their quest for a sec-
ond-straight gold medal.
The contest is the second straight,
and perhaps last, lesser opponent for
the Americans. The schedule picks
up again Saturday with a matchup
against Lithuania before the nal
game of group play Monday against
longtime rival Argentina.
The U.S. improved to 2-0
Tuesday with a 110-63 rout of
Tunisia, a team Nigeria beat by only
four points in its opening game. The
Americans led by just 13 points
after a surprisingly close rst half,
then rang up 64 points in the second
half to turn it into the easy victory
that was expected.
Its not easy to us, James said.
The nal score may look that way,
but we go out and we work hard, we
work our habits and we try to get
better, and I feel like we try to get
better.

since winning the silver medal in Beijing, so
stylishly sublime that Germanys Philipp Boy,
runner-up at the last two world championships,
lamented he had been born in the wrong age.
Hes in a different world, German coach
Andreas Hirsch said. He wasnt part of this
competition.
What makes Uchimura so special is that he
doesnt seem to have any aws.
When Yang Wei was running roughshod over
the competition in the last Olympic cycle, win-
ning a pair of world titles and the gold medal in
Beijing, he did it through sheer strength. He
bulked up his routines with so much difculty
he started most meets two or three points
ahead.
But theres art in artistic gymnastics, and
Yang didnt have it. He managed to win one of
his world titles despite taking such a big fall on
high bar that he rolled off the mat to the edge
of the podium.
Uchimura has the tough tricks, but does them
with such elegance and precision that his rou-
tines look more like performance art. Even in
photographs, there are no signs of the aws
bent legs, crossed ankles, crooked lines that
bedevil other gymnasts.
I like perfection, Uchimura said.
The Japanese star was uncharacteristically
off in qualifying and the team nals, perhaps
feeling the pressure of pursuing gold. Japan
was runner-up to China at the Beijing
Olympics and the last four world champi-
onships, and Uchimura said earlier this year he
was fed up with always nishing second.
He nished ninth in qualifying after falling
off both high bar and pommel horse.
He wasnt much better in the team nals,
botching his pommel horse routine again and
needing a score review just to get Japan the sil-
ver medal.

U.S. womens volleyball looking unstoppable
REUTERS
Foluke Akinradewo of the U.S. winds up for a
spike in her teams 3-0 win over China.
LONDON Destinee Hooker scored 22
points and the U.S. womens volleyball team
improved to 3-0 with a three-set preliminary
round victory over China at the London
Olympics on Wednesday.
Megan Hodge added 18 points for the top-
ranked U.S. team in the 26-24, 25-16, 31-29
win. Zeng Chunlei scored 10 points, including
two aces, for No. 3 China, which fell to 2-1 in
the preliminary round.
It was the United States eighth straight vic-
tory over China in international competition.
The teams last loss came at the 2007 World
Grand Prix.
The U.S. women are among the favorites to
medal in London. The team has never won an
Olympic gold medal in indoor volleyball.
The U.S. brought the silver home from
Beijing after falling in the nal to powerhouse
Brazil. In an early-round rematch in London,
the U.S. came away with a 3-1 victory over
the second-ranked Brazilians.
Under coach Hugh McCutcheon, who led
the American men to the gold medal in
Beijing before shifting to the womens team,
the U.S. took over the top spot in the interna-
tional rankings late last year to end Brazils
four-year run at the top.
Logan Toms ace in the rst set made it 12-
10 and it appeared the U.S. was making a
move, but China pulled in front 19-18 on Wei
Qiuyues kill. Toms misplayed dig gave
China a short-lived 23-20 advantage.
Hookers block and a pair of spikes from
Hodge made it 16-13 and the U.S. pulled
away in the second set.
Jinling Chus ace pulled China in front 19-
18 in the hard-fought third set, which was
won when China could not return another
kill by Hodge. Wei Qiuyue, who tried to
block Hodge, raised her hands to her face
and had to be consoled by her teammates as
the U.S. celebrated.
Chinese star Wang Yimei, a 6-foot-2 wing
spiker known for her powerful jump serve,
was coming off of surgery to repair ligament
damage in her right ankle but has appeared
fully recovered in London.
She had six points in the match against the
United States.
China, which won the bronze in Beijing,
struggled going into the games, losing four
straight matches at the recent FIVB World
Grand Prix while resting Wang.
Chinese coach Yu Juemin caused a bit of a
stir when he suggested a three-week vegetari-
an diet was responsible for the teams poor
showing in the tournament.
The team eschewed meat while preparing
for the Grand Prix away from their usual train-
ing facility, because there were concerns about
meat tainted with the chemical clenbuterol,
which is illegally used to bulk up livestock
and produce leaner meat.
U.S. water polo draws with Spain
LONDON Maica Garcia scored her sec-
ond goal of the night with under a minute to
play and Spain rallied for a 9-9 draw
Wednesday against the United States in
Olympic water polo.
Garcia scored on a power play with 46 sec-
onds to go, rising out of the water to ip a
pass from captain Jennifer Pareja past U.S.
goalkeeper Betsey Armstrong and inside the
near post. The goal capped a furious come-
back for Spain after trailing by three goals
with less than three minutes to play.
That game was denitely a battle, said
Kami Craig, who led the U.S. with four goals.
A lot of ups and downs in there but well
take a tie and move on.
Spain, which is making its Olympic debut
in womens water polo, controlled the rst
half and led 5-3 at the break behind three
goals from captain Jennifer Pareja. But a vet-
eran U.S. team cranked up its play on the
defensive end in the second half, outscoring
the Spanish 6-1 over to lead 9-6 with three
minutes to play.
Undaunted, Spain roared back with Parejas
fourth goal of the contest and then two from
Garcia to earn the draw.
Its hard to hold Spain down for so long,
U.S. coach Adam Krikorian said. We played
great defensively in the second half, besides
the last two minutes. We needed to get a ve-
on-six stop there at the end and we couldnt
do it.
With the draw, both teams remain tied for
rst in Group A with three points from two
games.

Because of the networks broad cable presence, Olympic
lovers can get their ll of the games during the day. From
morning to early afternoon, fans can watch nearly any and all
events. Wednesday morning, for example, I saw a little bit of
table tennis, womens water polo, womens fencing and the
mens cycling time trial. If these events were on at any other
time, I probably wouldnt watch them. But since it is the
Olympics, Im riveted, knowing I wont give a ip about a lot
of these sports for another four years.
So after watching events live during the morning, Im a lit-
tle more accepting of the tape-delayed action during prime-
time.
Its still not ideal. I still say NBC should offer everything
live and then they can replay it in primetime. Not everyone
works a 9-to-5 shift and there are millions of fans who appre-
ciate watching the action unfold in real time.
At least NBC is trying to provide as much live action it can
this time around. Im not sure that was always the case in the
past.
***
If youve watched the Olympics for any amount of time, you
know that controversy is part of the Olympics. Whether its the
wrong score posted in gymnastics or weight lifters and certain
swimmers being busted for doping offenses, controversy is as
ingrained as spectacular opening and closing ceremonies.
So far, however, the biggest controversy is coming from the
badminton courts. Yep, you heard me right. Wednesday morn-
ing, four doubles teams were kicked out of the tournament for,
get this, tanking matches.
Its startling the biggest scandal to hit the Olympics so far is
taking place in badminton, of all sports.
Because of a change in the way the badminton tournament
is run instead of a single-elimination tournament, there is
pool play followed by the knockout round teams from
China, South Korea and Indonesia deliberately lost to avoid
having to play the top teams for as long as possible.
Now organizers must decide whether to skip the quarternal
round and go straight to the seminals, or insert teams into the
quarternals which were already beaten during pool play.
Whatever the outcome, with this controversy, badminton
can nally say it has hit the big time and joined the rest of the
Olympic Games when it comes to scandal.

LOUNGE
OAKLAND The Oakland Athletics
knew their remarkable run of success
during a memorable July would have to
end at some point.
Alex Cobb shut down Oakland for
seven innings and Carlos Pena homered
as the Tampa Bay Rays handed the As
their rst back-to-back losses since June
with a 4-1 victory on Wednesday.
Well grind through it. We havent
lost a series in a while and we have to
move forward, Oakland manager Bob
Melvin said. Were not going to be per-
fect and put seven or eight runs on the
board every time. Were going through a
rough patch. Well be ne.
The As were almost perfect last
month, going 19-5 for the best July in
franchise history as they bolted back
into the AL playoff race behind stellar
pitching and late-inning dramatics from
the hitters.
All that was missing on Wednesday.
Brandon Inge provided the only run with
a homer in the fth and Jarrod Parker
allowed three runs and eight hits in six
innings.
I think we all know the game has its
ups and downs and we just have to stick
with it, keep battling, Inge said. There
are plenty of guys here who can pick up
the slack. Well just keep going at it.
Pena, who drove in ve runs in the
series, hit an RBI double in the sixth
inning and a solo homer in the eighth for
the Rays, who won three straight series
on one trip for the fourth time in fran-
chise history. The wins over Baltimore,
the Angels and As marked the rst time
Tampa Bay won three straight road
series against winning teams.
Its pretty spectacular, manager Joe
Maddon said. Before the trip everyone
is talking 7-2. To me its always about
that night. To win each series is about as
good as it gets right now.
Jeff Keppinger scored twice and Matt
Joyce and Ryan Roberts also drove in
runs for the Rays, who moved within 1
1/2 games of Oakland for the second
wild-card spot in the American League.
Cobb (5-8) followed up James
Shields shutout on Tuesday night with a
strong start of his own, settling down
after escaping a bases-loaded jam in the
rst. He allowed four hits and one walk,
striking out six as the Rays lowered their
ERA to 1.70 on the trip.
Athletics lose second straight to Tampa Rays, 4-1
NAPA Raiders quarterback Carson
Palmer lofted a tight spiral deep down
the right sideline and appeared to have
an easy completion to Darrius
Heyward-Bey before cornerback
DeMarcus Van Dyke came in to break
up the pass and knock the receiver to the
ground.
A day earlier, Van Dyke spent much
of the morning jamming receivers at the
line of scrimmage.
Its all part of Van Dykes plan to
become a more physical defender with
the Raiders after he struggled at times as
a part-time starter during his rookie sea-
son.
He still makes some young player
mistakes that weve got to get coached
out of him, but he continues to make a
little bit of progress every day, Oakland
coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday.
Hes not where he needs to be yet, but
hes got to continue to work, continue to
keep getting better and learn the little
nuances of the game.
One of two third-round draft picks a
year ago, Van Dyke has been getting
plenty of work with Oaklands rst-
team defense while projected starter
Ron Bartell rests his sore hamstring.
Bartell and veteran Shawntae Spencer
were signed in the offseason to replace
released starting corners Stanford Routt
and Chris Johnson after Allen and gen-
eral manager Reggie McKenzie targeted
the secondary for a makeover.
Both are expected to start when the
Raiders open the season at home Sept.
10 against San Diego, but Allen and
defensive coordinator Jason Tarver are
keeping their options open.
That includes Van Dyke, a 6-foot-1,
183-pound cornerback who played in 14
games with four starts as a rookie. He
didnt put up big numbers (13 tackles,
one interception) and often allowed
himself to get pushed out of plays by
bigger receivers.
But Oaklands entire pass defense
took a beating in 2011. The Raiders
were 29th in total defense a year ago,
and 27th against the pass.

Avoiding Olympic
spoilers is a sport
NEW YORK Mandy Hauck
turned 25 on Wednesday, but shes
avoiding Facebook and her happy
birthday messages to steer clear of
Olympic spoilers about her favorite
sport, fencing.
Hauck has also deleted her iPhone
apps for CNN and ESPN, opting for
news from the London Games the
old-fashioned way, via TV coverage
thats time-delayed by NBC for
prime time.
The network is making live
streams of the action available in
real time online. Haucks hanging
tough, though, in favor of doing
actual work during the day as the
marketing communications manag-
er for a software company in
Atlanta, a job that requires her to
stay on Twitter while she attempts to
stay away from its main page and
trending topics.
I enjoy the experience of sitting
with my family and friends in front
of the television and cheering for the
athletes as if they were competing
live, said Hauck, a former college
fencer who has been following two-
time American gold medalist Mariel
Zagunis in London. Its much more
entertaining and enjoyable that
way!
Its also incredibly difcult with
social media in full ower. Olympic
spoilers have people turning off
phone alerts, hiding their iPads and
shushing co-workers in search of
simpler times, when screaming at
the TV during nail-biting competi-
tion was a sport unto itself.
Pervasive spoilers even solicited
an apology from NBCs Olympics
executive producer, Jim Bell. He
tweeted a mea culpa for a Monday
night gaffe, when the network ran a
Today show teaser with swimmer
Missy Franklin showing off her gold
medal just before the network
aired the race where she won it.
While angry tweeters have taken
to yes, Twitter to grouse about
spoilers, Paul Redfern at Gettysburg
College in Pennsylvania has entered
what he calls my Olympic dark
period on social media. Thats not
an easy thing when your job
description includes overseeing
social media engagement. Hes also
the dad of two young kids.
Watching the prime-time broad-
cast is a family tradition, he said.
The Summer Olympics are almost
always on for part of our vacation
and we always gather as a family to
watch each evening.
Redfern is leaving the tweeting on
behalf of the college to another per-
son in the ofce for the duration.
Lisa McTigue in Los Angeles is a
former competitive swimmer who
truly loves sitting down to soak up
the Olympics on TV. Unfortunately,
shes also an Internet marketing
consultant who cant do her job
without Facebook, Twitter and other
social media.
All the excitement I have felt for
the Olympics in previous years is
completely gone, she said. In pre-
vious years, I felt inspired to get
back in the pool. This year, that
inspiration and excitement is
meh.
Despite complaints, NBCs cor-
porate owners said Wednesday that
they expect to break even on the
London games after once predicting
theyd take a $200 million loss.

I was just playing for fun. And I still am.
Much like her legendary leaps on the vol-
leyball court, Records career appears to do
nothing but ascend.
A starter for her four years as a Hokie,
Record ended her career ranked fourth on
Techs all-time service aces list with 176 and
seventh all-time in digs with 1,238. She also
concluded her career with 1,121 kills and 133
blocks.
She appeared in all 31 matches her senior
season, missing just one start while playing in
115 sets. Her nal year at Tech concluded
with 257 kills, 48 aces, 380 digs and 51
blocks and a team-leading 12 double-doubles.
Record was also a preseason All-ACC team
member.
I think going away to college was probably
one of the best opportunities that ever hap-
pened to me, Record said. I initially didnt
want to be so far away from home, but I ended
up going to a volleyball program that wanted
me and offered me a full ride as a player at the
Division I level.
It denitely wasnt an easy transition. But
a lot of my teammates were from out of state
which was nice because everyone was going
through the same experience that I was and I
think thats why our team was so close
everyone was from a different area.
Record went to Tech after a jaw-dropping
four years at Carlmont that included a 2006
Daily Journal Volleyball Player of the Year
award.
They were coaches that I admire because
they pushed me to play different positions that
I never played before, Record said of her
time as a Scot. I was an outside hitter at the
high school level, but I also played right side
during the club season. At one point I played
middle in high school. And it was because of
their coaching and their belief in me as a play-
er that I realized that the only limitations you
have are the ones you create for yourself.
Heading into Tech, there were questions
about Records size. But Record said she was
lucky to have coaches who believed in her
regardless of her frame.
They embraced my role and I was really
thankful for that because there arent a lot of
coaches who view a left-handed player as an
outside hitter, especially at 5-8, thats the big
thing, she said. I was playing at the DI level
and coaches dont expect a short lefty on the
outside.
For most hitters, the biggest transition is
the speed of the game and how big the block
is. I denitely struggled with hitting around
the block and hitting high-hand, nding ways
to score that way.
But Records hard work and efforts helped
the Virgina Tech program reach new heights.
I feel very proud to be a part of the rst
team to make the NCAA tournament, Record
said. Our teams has improved and I think the
program got better each year. I denitely think
a lot of it has to do with the coaching. And I
think I improved because my teammates, we
pushed each other a lot. Its just kind of con-
tagious.
Volleyball appears to be one of those good
diseases Record cant seem to shake. As her
career with Tech wound down, phone calls to
friends playing overseas and the subsequent
advice that followed landed her with the
opportunity to continue to make French fans
ohh and ahh with her explosive play in
the future.
This is the right t for now, Record said.
After youre done playing for four years,
some players dont want to play overseas and
dont want to continue their careers. But for
me, I love playing volleyball so much I just
couldnt get enough. I think my main objec-
tive at this point is just taking this opportuni-
ty to gain life experience, to travel and to go
play where I possibly can, reaching my full
potential.
For Record, that potential is way up in the
clouds. And given her reputation, Record def-
initely has the hops to reach it.

Justine Record goes up for a kill in a match
against Wake Forest.
Pence makes debut, Giants lose
SAN FRANCISCO Jonathon Niese scat-
tered three hits over seven innings and Ruben
Tejada homered for the rst time in almost
two years and singled twice, leading the New
York Mets past the San Francisco Giants 2-1
on Wednesday night.
All San Francisco could squeeze out of
Niese (8-5) was a two-out homer by Buster
Posey in the sixth, the All-Star catchers 14th
long ball this season. Niese struck out ve and
walked two to outlast ace Matt Cain (10-4)
and spoil Hunter Pences debut in San
Francisco.
The new Giants right
elder nished 0 for 4
with two strikeouts.
Cain gave up seven hits
and three walks and never
looked in rhythm. He
struck out five in five
innings to match his
shortest start of the sea-
son.
Bobby Parnell pitched a perfect ninth for his
fourth save and New Yorks third win in the
last four games. The NL West-leading Giants
have lost ve of six.
Any momentum San Francisco had from
trading for Pence faded fast.
Tejada, whose two-run throwing error at
shortstop led to New Yorks 4-1 loss against
the Giants on Monday night, sent the second
pitch of the game from Cain into the glove of
a fan standing just beyond the wall in left for
his second career home run. Tejada had gone
629 at-bats since his last long ball in
September 2010.
After three straight singles loaded the bases,
Josh Thole scored on Jordany Valdespins
groundout to third base to give the Mets a 2-0
lead in the second. Cain struck out David
Wright, who had three hits, to limit the dam-
age.
The 138th consecutive sellout crowd at
AT&T Park announced at 42,188 gave
Pence a long and loud standing ovation when
his name was announced with two on and two
outs in the bottom of the rst.
All the hoopla halted when he fouled out
near rst base.
Pence, traded from Philadelphia for out-
elder Nate Schierholtz and two minor lea-
guers Tuesday, also struck out but reached rst
on a wild pitch in the fourth. He grounded out
to short to end the sixth and struck out looking
for the second out of the ninth.
The only thing that kept San Francisco close
was its defense.
things that got me this far and success will
continue to nd me.
Success found Bowman in sudden fashion
last year after San Francisco allowed former
starter Takeo Spikes to leave in free agency.
Spikes was a respected veteran leader and
productive tackler, but the 49ers felt comfort-
able elevating Bowman to take his place next
to perennial Pro Bowler Patrick Willis in the
middle of the teams 3-4 defensive scheme.
Bowman played so well from the start that
some observers had difculty telling him
apart from Willis, a four-time All-Pro who
had led the 49ers in tackles every year since
joining the team as their rst-round draft pick
in 2007. Bowman replaced Willis as San
Franciscos leading tackler and nished sev-
enth in the NFL last year with 143 stops.
He also stepped up at key sequences
throughout the season. Bowman established
himself as a playmaker in San Franciscos
Week 4 upset at Philadelphia that sparked the
49ers on their way to a 13-3 season, then
twice had 13 or more tackles during a four-
game stretch late in the season that Willis
missed due to injury.
When Pat went out, it was a wakeup call
for me to carry the load, and I think thats
what I did, Bowman said. It was a chal-
lenge, and I stepped up to the challenge. I just
wanted to put my foot on the gas and not be
viewed as the young guy on the defense. I
think that gained a lot more trust from the vet-
eran guys.
At 24, Bowman is the youngest starter on a
seasoned defense. But the 49ers still are plac-
ing their trust in him.
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said
Bowman earned that trust last season and con-
tinues to impress coaches with his grasp and
knowledge of the defense.
Hes much, much farther along this year
than he was last year at this time, Fangio
said. He still has things to learn, but he
understands football. Some understand it bet-
ter than others, and he understands it good.
You can talk to him at a high level when
youre teaching him. You dont have to break
it down and paint it by numbers.
The physical aspect has always been there
for Bowman, the teams third-round draft pick
in 2010. Once he got his starting shot last
summer, he left no doubt that he could handle
the responsibilities of the position as an
every-down player.
Bowman was one of the few defenders who
never came off the eld for a unit that nished
fourth in the NFL in total defense and second
in rushing defense. He also proved to be a
strong complement to the talented Willis, giv-
ing San Francisco arguably the top set of mid-
dle linebackers in the league.

By Melissa Rayworth
Tracy Hutson wanders through a graveyard
of ovens that havent roasted a turkey or
baked a ham since decades before she was
born. Picking through their discarded parts,
she muses: The rust on this is just so gor-
geous.
Her Picker Sisters partner, Tanya
McQueen, agrees yet another item to bar-
gain for, purchase and turn into a high-end
piece of furniture on their Lifetime network
TV series.
Youll nd a similar pair of women, the
Junk Gypsies, doing much the same thing
over at HGTV. And these two pairs are not
alone.
The list of television shows about hunting
for elusive treasure amid mountains of dis-
carded stuff keeps growing like a suburban
landll. At least three new entries are pre-
miering this summer, adding to the already
double-digit roster of shows about pickers
and pawn shop owners and people who bid
for the contents of storage containers.
Why, especially when were so overloaded
with our own clutter and junk, are we so fas-
cinated with the search through other peo-
ples castoffs?
THE RUSH OF REMEMBERING
Jordan Hembrough, host of Toy Hunter,
which premieres Aug. 15 on the Travel
Channel, believes people love junk-hunting
shows because they reconnect us with a time
we like to remember as simpler and happier.
We recognize items instantly, from toys to
household goods to advertising signage.
Previous generations of Americans kept
things longer, and there was less to choose
from when you did buy new: Many of us had
the same CorningWare coffee pot, the same
Fisher-Price toys as our neighbors.
Items designed in the 1950s and 1960s
are from a period that consciously looked to
the future, says Allen Topolski, associate
professor of art at the University of
Rochester. It was a time of optimism, and
although we never got the jet packs we were
promised, we enjoy revisiting that feeling as
junk-hunting TV hosts come across this
stuff, he says.
This experience wont be the same for
future generations because we replace things
so frequently today. Young people are also
less likely to have the exact same items as
their peers. More choices means less shared
history, says John Baick, associate profes-
sor of history at Western New England
University, in Springfield, Mass.
So why do even viewers in their teens and
20s watch these shows?
THE THRILL OF THE HUNT
T.J. Heckman has been into junk, for
nearly all of his 26 years. He, his father and
his uncle used to go out all the time just pick-
ing up stuff. I remember when I was 6 years
old bringing home a kitchen table on my bicy-
cle.
In his work as a delivery truck driver in the
Pittsburgh area, hes constantly scouting road-
sides for anything potentially fun or useful.
He loves bringing things home, and loves
watching these shows for the excitement of
scoring something awesome at little or no
cost.
The stuff today being made is garbage
compared to the stuff back then, Heckman
says. They took their time and put effort into
making it.
Craig Dalen, who coordinates sustainability
programs at Messiah College in Grantham,
Pa., sees this as a strong explanation for the
popularity of these shows. Many goods now
are designed to break down and need to be
replaced, and our desires are socially engi-
neered to want more, better, the latest. I think
some are rediscovering the value in these
goods because of the craftsmanship and the
materials.
Heckman says he is happy when a TV host
can nd and repurpose an old table or chair
revealing its enduring value and returning it to
daily life.
Television, of course, reliably delivers those
satisfying moments. Through editing, these
shows offer very clever storytelling, Baick
says. Something well-made and worthwhile is
always uncovered. Like the hunt for the Holy
Grail, in all the accounts it ends up being a

humble cup of tremendous value, he says.
For viewers in homes lled with everyday
items, this is kind of magical, that you can
turn lead into gold if you have a discerning-
enough eye.
Two shows that premiered last month
PBS Market Warriors (from the producers
of Antiques Roadshow) and the American
Pickers spin-off Picked Off raise the bar
by merging the junk-hunting genre with com-
petition. Picked Off has a $10,000 grand
prize, while the Market Warriors winner
only earns bragging rights for eclipsing his
peers, according to the shows website.
THE DESIRE TO DIY
For the Picker Sisters and Junk
Gypsies, its all about what these found
goodies can become. These shows, along with
sites like Pinterest, offer fresh and sometimes
outrageous ideas for affordable do-it-yourself
projects.
Whether many viewers actually try their
hand at a project is another question. But its
fun to see someone turn a chipped sink into a
ower-lled planter rather than tossing it into
a landll, even if youll never attempt a simi-
lar task.
Although the creation and sale of DIY items
via sites like Etsy.com is a trend, we are also
creating in many ways a voyeuristic culture
where we can consume the data and informa-
tion, Dalen says. Its easy to organize and
pin it for a day that it would be nice to do it.
THE HOSTS
The last piece of the puzzle crucial to
any successful TV show is the characters.
Junk-hunting hosts and competitors fall into
two major camps: the erce, take-no-prison-
ers people who bristle with bravado, and the
folksy, charming people youd love to invite
over for dinner.
The friction-lled family on Pawn Stars
cant close a deal without an argument, while
tattooed Darrell Sheets lovingly bumps heads
with his son Brandon on Storage Wars.
Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, the stars of
American Pickers, invariably incur the bit-
ing sarcasm of their ofce manager, Danielle.
How long will these shows remain popular?
Well, theres an awful lot of junk out there.
And our national appetite for a voyeuristic
peek into other peoples attics and basements
seems to run deep. (The evil mirror images of
these upbeat junk shows are the shows about
hoarding, where only misery comes from
amassing so much stuff.)
Craig Dalen thinks that as the rate of change
in our lives keeps accelerating, our hunger to
look back toward an era of relative stability
this nostalgic kind of grasping onto what we
had is only likely to grow.
JUNK
Armed Services Committee. What is hold-
ing us up right now is the Republican
refusal to have the top 2 percent pay their
fair share.
Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter
told the committee that if Congress fails to
come up with a compromise, nearly all ele-
ments of the military will be affected by
cuts mandated by last years deficit deal.
Training would be scaled back and flying
hours for Air Force pilots would be reduced.
The Navy would buy fewer ships and the
Air Force fewer aircraft.
Some later-deploying units (including
some deploying to Afghanistan) could
receive less training, especially in the Army
and Marine Corps, Carter said. Under
some circumstances, this reduced training
could impact their ability to respond to a
new contingency, should one occur.
Military personnel would be exempt from
job cuts, but furloughs might be issued and
commissary hours reduced, he said.
Later, Republicans moved to renew the
Bush tax cuts for every working American.
The cuts will otherwise expire Dec. 31, part
of a combination of effects along with
major spending cuts that have been charac-
terized as a fiscal cliff for the economy.
The bill passed by a 256-171 vote. Nineteen
Democrats joined with Republicans; retir-
ing Rep. Timothy Johnson of Illinois was
the sole Republican to break with his party.
President Barack Obama, in a written
statement late Wednesday, said House
Republicans had voted to shower million-
aires and billionaires with a $1 trillion tax
cut that will inevitably be paid for by gut-
ting investments in critical programs needed
to create jobs and strengthen the economy.
There is no expectation that the
Democratic-led Senate will even consider
the House measure, at least before the elec-
tions.
Democrats in the House countered with a
plan backed by Obama to extend the tax
cuts for all but the highest-earning
Americans. Their plan would raise the mar-
ginal top tax rate on incomes over $200,000
for individuals and $250,000 for couples
from 35 percent to 39.6 percent. It failed,
257-170, with 19 Democrats breaking with
Obama.
The dueling votes were more about polit-
ical messaging three months before the
election than a genuine attempt to resolve
longstanding differences that threaten to
sock every taxpayer in the country with a
tax increase if the deadlock isnt broken in a
postelection lame duck session. Democrats
said Republicans were holding the middle
class hostage by insisting on renewing tax
cuts for that go to the top 2 percent of earn-
ers.
Lets extend these tax cuts we agree on
and then debate what we dont agree on,
said No. 2 House Democrat Steny Hoyer of
Maryland.
The Bush tax cuts were renewed in their
entirety with the support of Obama and
many Democrats two years ago as part of a
bargain in which Obama also won a Social
Security payroll tax cut and an extension of
unemployment benefits.
Now, the White House promises Obama
will veto the extension if it includes the
highest earners. Obama instead supports a
plan that passed the Democratic-controlled
Senate last week.
Republicans said that measure would hit 1
million small businesses and more than
half of small business income with a tax
increase.
Two years ago, the president said that
stopping the tax hike was the right thing to
do for our economy, said House Speaker
John Boehner, R-Ohio. Well, economic
growth is worse now, but hes out cam-
paigning for a tax hike on small business-
es.
The vote came as gridlock and partisan
disputes ensured that pressing issues remain
unresolved.
For example, with half the country suffer-
ing from the worst drought in decade, it was
uncertain whether Congress would pass a
disaster relief program. A long-term farm
bill was highly unlikely.
And the U.S. Postal Service was default-
ing at midnight Wednesday on a $5.5 billion
payment due to the Treasury for future
postal retirees health benefits because of
congressional inaction.
Legislation on trade, cybersecurity and
defense policy werent getting finished
either in the final week before Congress
breaks for its five-week vacation.
The divisive politics and recriminations
that marked last Augusts fight over cutting
the deficit and raising the nations budget
authority was on full display in the typical-
ly bipartisan House Armed Services
Committee hearing with Zients and a senior
Pentagon official.
Obama and congressional Republicans
agreed last summer to $1.2 trillion in spend-
ing cuts and tasked a bipartisan congres-
sional panel with coming up with another
round of reductions. If it failed, automatic
cuts known as sequester would kick in.
All committee members and the two wit-
nesses agreed that sequester was a destruc-
tive policy. But none could agree on a solu-
tion in a hearing that degenerated into fin-
ger-pointing over who was responsible
Obama or Congress even though
Republicans and Democrats voted for the
bill and the president signed it.
In the run-up to this years election,
Republicans are using the impending reduc-
tions in military spending as a political
cudgel against Obama, arguing that the
commander in chief is willing to risk the
nations security as he uses the leverage in
the budget showdown with Congress.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt
Romney has echoed GOP lawmakers criti-
cism.
Democrats counter that Republicans who
voted for the cuts are trying to wriggle out
of last Augusts deficit-cutting agreement
and must consider tax increases as part of
any congressional compromise to stave off
spending reductions.
Sequester defies rational planning. It
was designed to be irrational, Carter testi-
fied.
Zients outlined further impacts on domes-
tic spending cuts in the number of FBI
agents, food inspectors and border patrol
agents. The FAA would be affected and so
would the National Weather Service, ham-
pering its ability to forecast hurricanes and
tornadoes. Some 16,000 teachers and aides
would lose their jobs and 100,000 children
would lose their places in Head Start.
Zients said the government, which has
planned for contingencies such as shut-
downs, would be ready.
But the right course is not to spend time
moving around rocks at the bottom of the
cliff to make for a less painful landing. The
right course is to avoid driving off the cliff
altogether, he said.
CUTS
Two years ago, the president said that stopping the
tax hike was the right thing to do for our economy. ...
Well, economic growth is worse now, but hes out
campaigning for a tax hike on small businesses.

Cacti or succulents are the usual go-to
plants when xeriscaping, or dry-land
gardening, but herbs are an attractive
alternative.
Many herbs have Mediterranean ori-
gins, and can grow well where the soil is
sandy and water is scarce.
All plants need water, but that varies
with the variety and the setting, said
Debbie Boutelier, president of The Herb
Society of America. Herbs are a good
choice if youre experiencing a drought,
have high, hot sun or problem settings.
Such problem areas might include
boulevards, driveway strips, slopes or
bare spots that have been baked into
lawns.
The best results when xeriscaping
with herbs come when using native
plants, or plants that have adapted well
to a particular area, Boutelier said.
Natives handle climatic change better
than something you have to force, she
said. Planting correctly is the rst rule.
Mulching or adding compost runs a
close second.
Having plants in the right place and
doing cultural things that help preserve
moisture, like mulch, will provide so
many benets, said Dennis Patton, a
Kansas State University Research and
Extension agent. Soaker hoses and drip
irrigation also have a place in the land-
scape. They can put water at the base of
the plants where its needed.
Xeriscaping is a practical way to gar-
den no matter where you live, from the
desert Southwest to the Canadian high-
lands and even Hawaii.
More and more people are looking
for lower maintenance in their gardens,
Patton said. That means less watering,
and nding plants that can thrive that
way but still have some foliage. Were
not talking yucca here. This is where
herbs come in. Theyre used to dry cli-
mates and give off splashes of color
while providing other advantages.
Herbs are great all-around plants,
Boutelier said: One plant can give you
a lot of purposes culinary, ornamen-
tal, medicinal, groundcover.
This isnt to say that herbs dont pres-
ent challenges. Many varieties arent
winter-hardy. Perennials often become
annuals in extreme climates. Others
might be invasive.
Lavender is a touchy plant for us here
in Kansas because of our clay soil, but it
would be a good one in many well-
drained parts of the country, Patton
said. Im not a big fan of mint because
of its aggressive tendencies, but its great
in the right spots. Its all a matter of
knowing what youre getting into.
Other drought-resistant herbs to con-
sider:
Fennel is a perennial with leaves and
seeds used for avoring. Its also good
for attracting butteries, Patton said.
Low-growing herbs include yarrow
(beware the aggressive runners) and
thyme. Creeping thyme makes a good
groundcover and becomes fragrant when
you walk on it, said Jeff Schalau, an
agent with University of Arizona
Cooperative Extension. Lavender is
another appealing aromatic herb, as are
rosemary and oregano.
Taller herb varieties that pack a lot of
color would include phlomis (Jerusalem
sage) and evening primrose, but the lat-
ter should be potted to contain its
growth.
Mint, if conned to containers, bee
balm and angelica require little in the
way of water, fertilizer or herbicides.
Russian sage, horehound, santolina,
marjoram, catnip, sweet alyssum and
lambs ears also fare well with minimal
watering.
Not all herbs can be grown in all areas.
Check with your university extension
ofce or garden clubs for local informa-
tion.

Home apple growers
consider going organic
By Dean Fosdick
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but maybe less so if
you spray. Thats why organic fruit management is becoming
more common in commercial and home orchards, industry
analysts say.
The problem with using chemicals to x problems is that
the chemicals might provide a short-term solution but they
actually create long-term problems, said Jeff Dinslage, presi-
dent of Nature Hills Nursery in Omaha, Neb., the largest online
seller of trees in the country. More and more of our customers
simply dont want to use chemicals in their backyards that
could harm their children, their pets and themselves.
Organic produce is enriched through the use of organic mat-
ter and cover crops. No chemical pesticides, fungicides or fer-
tilizer are applied.
Much commercially grown produce has chemical residues
on it, even if you wash it, said Sonya Lunder, a senior analyst
for the Environmental Working Group, a Washington-based
non-prot that examines toxins in foods. With apples, for
instance, there are a lots of pesticides and fungicides involved
in their growth and storage, she said. When looking at
residue data, apples usually top the list. Be versatile in what
you eat and where you shop.
Although U.S. apple production has declined in recent years,
consumer demand has spurred a fast-growing organic apple
industry, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says. Apples
managed under organic farming systems now account for 6
percent of total U.S. apple acreage.
Gregory Peck, a horticulture professor at Virginia Tech,
noted that there are probably a dozen or so diseases that attack
apples, and 60 or so insects.
If you must spray, Peck said, do it responsibly.
Ask yourself if the problem is causing enough injury that
you have to protect it, Peck said. Time it properly. Spray
when youre going to target the pests. Choose materials that
will control the problem, but wont be detrimental to benecial
insects or water quality.

crash between a bus and a hybrid vehicle
with at least 20 victims.
Hybrids have added new dangers to
scenes reghters respond to because of
their quiet, battery-powered engines,
Pucci said.
As Pucci handled dispatch duties for
the drill Kustin kept a careful eye on the
25 reghters and how they worked
together to save crash victims and keep
the scene safe.
It is about doing the most for the
most, Pucci said when dealing with
multi-casualty situations.
The trauma system experience is
triage to ight to hospital.
Timing is key in response, Pucci said.
Oftentimes a reghter can only see
a few feet in front of them in crisis situ-
ations, Pucci said. Thats where the bat-
talion chiefs come in, who set up a com-
munications shell to scope the scene
from a distance and guide the crews
through the scene by radio.
One of the incidents victims suffered
from a major battery acid burn and it
was up to the reghters to determine
the best way to care for him.
In the bus, reghters encountered
victims who may have been dead or seri-
ously injured. Getting the live victims
into triage was the rst priority.
Color-coded tarps signify the levels of
injury for the victims which help the rst
responders prioritize who should get air-
lifted to the hospital rst.
Fireghters also have to create a safe
landing pad for Life Flight helicopters
close to the scene. Timing is critical to
save the most lives, Pucci said. A Life
Flight copter can arrive within 10 min-
utes from Stanford to most areas in the
county, said Sandy Corriea, a flight
nurse.
The same air ambulance can also
return to the scene several times, she
said.
Stanford Hospital and San Francisco
General Hospital are the areas two trau-
ma centers and most victims in a major
incident would be transported there,
Corriea said.
There is no helipad in San Francisco,
however, she said.
Coordinating the response between all
the agencies is critical for success.
We like to give them a challenge in
real time with real life situations and
with real hazards, Pucci said.
After the drill, Kustin and Pucci
debriefed with the reghters to go over
what went right and what went wrong.
The battery acid victims injuries may
not have been noticed immediately but
reghters hosed him off shortly after
his complaints of pain increased.
Otherwise, the drill was mostly a suc-
cess.
The drill is also a good opportunity for
reghters who work in different agen-
cies to spend time and learn how to work
together, Pucci said.
With re dispatch being handled by
the county, mutual aid responses can be
seamless, Pucci said.
The closest available crew will
respond to any incident no matter the
city boundary, he said.
One of the most important elements of
the training drill is to make sure that
every reghter who responds keeps
their personal safety a priority.
When they face these real-world
experiences it helps to reduce their anxi-
ety, Kustin said.

DRILL
out of the equation, he said.
But Councilman Jack Matthews is not
ready to call for a ban. Instead, he wants
to hear from the public rst before mak-
ing a decision.
Deputy Mayor David Lim is also not
ready to support a full ban but he knows
it is of great concern to many city resi-
dents.
Whatever the city does, Lim said,
there needs to be better enforcement of
city code.
Matthews wants to see how the recent
changes to Burlingame code works in
that city, too.
I dont want to make a decision based
on emotions, he said.
The citys police department elds
between 30 and 40 complaints a year
related to leaf blowers, according to a
staff report.
Grottes idea has found some support
in various neighborhoods.
Kara Anderson, who lives in the
Beresford/Hillsdale neighborhood, calls
leaf blowers a nuisance.
It is bad for air quality, bad for the
environment and bad for your health,
Anderson said. You dont need a leaf
blower to get rid of leaves.
Leaf blowers stir up particulates that
should not be breathed in, she said.
Glendale Village neighborhood resi-
dent John Ebneter said the noise leaf
blowers create is a big reason to ban
them but he has other concerns as well.
What about the health for the work-
ers who use them. It has to be a con-
cern, Ebneter told the Daily Journal.
Leaf blowers also stir up animal waste
and other unsafe particles, he said.
Currently, leaf blowers are allowed to
be used weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Use
is prohibited on Sundays and major hol-
idays.
The City Council adopted a leaf blow-
er ordinance in 1997.
The city will conduct outreach
through the fall before the City Council
holds a study session on the matter in
September. If the code is changed, the
earliest it will go into effect is January
2013.

BAN
manager would never be red. Instead,
the suit claims, Langevin herself was
red.
Langevin is seeking damages from
Brawley and Reynolds Resorts-Costanoa,
LLC which operates the luxury getaway
on the San Mateo County coast. The
companys website calls the site an eco
adventure resort which includes a spa,
lodge, campground and tent bungalows
that run in the hundreds of dollars.
Langevin and Brawley worked at the
Cascade Bar & Grill which is located
inside the Costanoa Coastal Lodge off
Highway 1 in Pescadero. Langevin began
as a server in October 2010 and Brawley
was hired as the restaurant manager in
early May 2012 by the general manager
and assistant general manager, according
to the suit.
The suit clams Brawley asked
Langevin out at least once and asked her
to massage him after nding out she was
a therapist. The suit also claims that,
when rejected, Brawley grew angry, ver-
bally attacking her and threatening her
job repeatedly. Langevin claims she met
with the assistant general manager and
Brawley, who denied her allegations, and
was later told by the assistant general
manager that there was nothing that could
be done because her boss loved him.
The assistant general manager advised
Langevin to play the game and when
she couldnt was red on or about May
20, the suit contends.
Langevin claims Brawley created a
hostile work environment by sexually
harassing her despite complaints he made
her uncomfortable. The suit also holds
Costanoa responsible for Brawleys
actions and alleges she was red in retal-
iation for reporting the alleged behavior.
Neither Langevins attorney, Taghi
Astanehe, nor Costanoa representatives
responded to inquiries for comment.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 2012
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A lesson you learn from
an older or more experienced individual will help
advance you in life. You may not see the results im-
mediately, but you will with time.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You should try to devote
your time and efforts to situations that can offer you
possibility of a material reward. Youll fnd success by
working hard for a proftable purpose.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- When you see something
that is being mismanaged and you know you can do
a better job with it, dont hesitate to step in and take
on the necessary leadership.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your ambitious inten-
tions can be gratifed when you do what needs doing
without calling any attention to yourself. It would
be counterproductive, however, if you appear to be
self-serving.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- For unknown rea-
sons, you could be extremely fortunate when dealing
with intangible things. Conversely, the same would
not be true if you switch to handling concrete affairs.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Dont hesitate to
speak up if there is something owed you that you
have yet to collect. Your probabilities for repayment
are better than usual.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It isnt likely that
youll feel comfortable being a follower, and there
is no reason why you should. You have excellent
leadership qualities, so use them without waiting to
be asked.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Joint ventures will
work wonderfully at this point in time, but only if you
can make a contribution, either mentally or materi-
ally, that could help advance an endeavor.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Finding some time to
spend with an old friend will do much for your own
feelings of well-being. Make some space on your
calendar and enjoy the results.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Showing how capable
you are of handling a serious development will win
you the admiration of your peers. Itll give others
plenty of reasons to say nice things about you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can be instrumen-
tal in teaching a friend how to look for the positive
things in life instead of seeing only the negative. Its a
lesson your pal could really use.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- By following your in-
stincts, you should be able to manage your personal
affairs in ways that will achieve the type of results
youd like to have. Dont leave things up to chance.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Elias Khenaisser
Case Number 122542
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Elias Khenaisser. A Pe-
tition for Probate has been filed by Ste-
ven N. Khenaisser in the Superior Court

Petition for Probate requests that Steven
N. Khenaisser be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This
athourity will allow the personal repre-

obtaining court approval. Before taking
certain very important actions, however,
the personal representative will be re-
quired to give notice to interested per-
sons unless they have waived notice or
consented to the proposed action.) The
independent administration authority will
be granted unless an interested person
files an objection to the petition and
shows good cause why the court should
not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: August 20, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, 1st Floor, Redwood City,
CA 94063. If you object to the granting
of the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

DERS If you are considering bidding on
this property lien, you should understand
that there are risks involved in bidding at
a trustee auction. You will be bidding on
a lien, not on the property itself. Placing
the highest bid at a trustee auction does
not automatically entitle you to free and
clear ownership of the property. You
should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction,
you are or may be responsible for paying
off all liens senior to the lien being auc-
tioned off, before you can receive clear
title to the property. You are encouraged
to investigate the existence, priority and
size of outstanding liens that may exist
on this property by contacting the county
recorder's office or a title insurance com-
pany, either of which may charge you a
fee for this information. If you consult ei-
ther of these resources, you should be
aware that the same lender may hold
more than one mortgage or deed of trust
on the property. NOTICE TO PROPER-
TY OWNER The sale date shown on this
notice of sale may be postponed one or
203 Public Notices
more times by the mortgagee, beneficia-
ry, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Sec-
tion 2924g of the California Civil Code.
The law requires that information about
trustee sale postponements be made
available to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at the
sale. If you wish to learn whether your
sale date has been postponed, and if ap-
plicable, the rescheduled time and date
for the sale of this property, you may call
877-484-9942 or visit this Internet Web
site www.USA-Foreclosure.com or
www.Auction.com using the file number
assigned to this case 8325.20121. In-
formation about postponements that are
very short in duration or that occur close
in time to the scheduled sale may not
immediately be reflected in the telephone
information or on the Internet Web site.
The best way to verify postponement in-
formation is to attend the scheduled sale.
