Caltrain tweaking its tootsand tweets

Loud horns causing complaints,transit agency trying to comply with federal regulations
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Its not just you Caltrains horns are indeed louder and the transit agency is working hard to tweak its toots and tweets to bring the noise level down and keep in line with federal law at the same time.
Federal regulations require the horns to produce distinct, separate and sequential blasts and a recent safety inspection revealed the horns were not making the unique toot and tweet. Caltrain received numerous calls to its customer service center with complaints about the horns, said spokeswoman Christine Dunn.
I even received a personal call from a mother who said her son was awakened by the horn in the night, Dunn said. Caltrain moved the horns to the underside of locomotives and cab cars in response to previous complaints from the community. But since the powerful air horns werent making the distinctive
toots and tweets the horns have returned to their original location on top of the trains. Burlingame resident Lynn Hawthorne said her entire neighborhood has noticed the louder horns. Its just terrible. The horns got much louder. I live two blocks from the track but it feels like Im living on the tracks when the train passes,
Hawthorne said. Ive got doublepane windows but I might as well not have windows at all. Moving the horns to the top of the locomotives and cab cars has increased the volume and the range of the sound. We are working diligently to

New deal:The good, the bad and the ugly

By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The California budget signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger yesterday has little to applaud, according to San Mateo Countys batch of elected leaders in Sacramento even those who grudgingly threw their support behind a majority of its bills. State Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo, was the only one of the countys four main representatives to deny his vote for a substantial portion of 31 revision bills proposed to ll an additional $24 billion shortfall. The others Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, and assemblymen Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, and Ira Ruskin, D-Redwood
SACRAMENTO Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a revised $85 billion budget Tuesday that he said contained the good, the bad and the ugly, including additional cuts to child welfare programs, health care for the poor and AIDS prevention efforts. Schwarzenegger used his line-item veto authority to save an additional $656 million that will let the state restore a reserve fund he said is needed for tough times. Democrats immediately questioned whether he had the authority to make some of the cuts. The new budget should help the states cash crisis. It remained unclear, however, how soon the state could stop issuing thousands of IOUs to vendors and contractors. The governors vetoes included $80 million from child welfare programs; $61 million from county funding to administer Medi-Cal, Californias version of Medicaid; $52 million from AIDS prevention and treatment; $50 million from Healthy Families, the low-cost health insurance program for poor children; and $6.2 million more from state parks. Those are ugly cuts and Im the only one that is realPHOTO COURTESY OF THE GOVERNORS OFFICE ly responsible for those cuts because the Legislature

Skate park on hold

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In an effort to balance future budgets, the Foster City Council has directed staff to identify essential and non-essential services that could imperil the citys annual Fourth of July celebration and summer concert series, for example. The city looks at its budget in five-year increments and expects
expenditures to exceed revenue in coming years. The city balanced its scal year 2009-10 budget with a $7 million loan repayment from t h e John Kiramis Redevelopment Agency. The city is expecting another $1.6 million loan repayment
next year to help meet its $50 million annual budget. But the citys budget shows a decit in the next four years and the council is attempting to solve the problem sooner rather than wait for uncertainties at the state level to impact the citys revenue. The council is studying future budgets now so it will not have to make future personnel cuts, said Mayor John Kiramis.

Skaters in Foster City might not have a dedicated place to do tricks as previously thought after a split City Council voted down a $214,000 construction contract for the project. After years in a temporary trailer location, a new teen center opened this summer. The project originally called for a skate park next door,
where a roped off dirt lot currently sits. Last week, the council voted 32 against approving a construction contract with JJR Construction Inc. for the project. While the opposition noted a hard economic time as the reason for the change of heart, supporters said the money was already set aside and promised to the children. The council will revisit the issue Monday, Aug. 3.

Race is on for high school district board

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Weeks away from the ling period closing, a contentious race is already certain for three seats on the San Mateo Union High School District Board of Trustees since six candidates, including all three incumbents, led to run. Board President Peter Hanley, Vice President Linda Lees Dwyer and Trustee Bob Grifn led to run for re-election. Joining Hanley and Dwyer are Mike Loy, Aragon Parent Teacher Organization president, Marc Friedman, Burlingame Elementary School District trustee, and Guadalupe Ortiz. Ortiz, the most recent addition to the race, is relatively unknown compared to her competitors but was inclined to run in hopes of using her connection to youth to better the educational opportunities the dis-
trict offers. The 23-yearold graduated from Aragon High School in 2004 and holds a bachelors degree in political science from Peter Hanley the University of California at Berkeley. This is her first time running for office, but Ortiz plans to dedicate her life to improving educational opportunities for youth. She is not a parent, but she does have a sister who attends Aragon and works with children. She manages an after-school program at a charter high school in San Jose and acts as the director of academic outreach for the San Mateo Youth Foundation, which helps lowincome students with scholarships and mentoring programs.
Ive seen a lot of and experienced a lot of things these kids are struggling with in high school, she explained, adding the position would Linda Lees allow her to Dwyer help these students further their education. In addition, Ortiz is a proponent of offering programs like arts, music and sports to students. Loy, an Aragon graduate and parent, has been quite active volunteering within the district. Hes served on the Aragon PTO for four years, currently as president. Loy is the chair of the Measure M Citizen Oversight Committee, charged with overseeing voter-approved bond money, and serves on the district
committee to identify surplus property. Loy said the run is simply about passion. He is a proponent of art programs and vocaMarc Friedman tional education options for students and wants to further public outreach. Loy believes a trustee should be approachable but also in attendance of various school events. Friedman, Burlingame Elementary School District trustee, is also running. His youngest daughter is starting high school in the fall, one of Friedmans inspirations to run for the high school district position. In addition, Friedman said he has something to contribute to the district. Some of the incumbents, not
necessarily all, have been there through some poor management issues, he said, specically about finances and communication with other districts, cities, Mike Loy community groups and parents. Friedman feels his experience in the Burlingame Elementary School District can be utilized to better these somewhat strained situation in the high school district. Things are not all bad, Friedman was quick to point out. There are good relationships with the teachers and a variety of educational programs offered to students, he said, hoping these could be expanded but only after nances are put in order.

Ayresjury leaned toward conviction

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The day after a jury deadlocked in the molestation trial of former San Mateo child psychiatrist William Hamilton Ayres, the prosecution released details on the split which showed the majority leaned toward conviction. Ayres, 77, was charged with nine counts of lewd and lascivious activity and a special allegation of substantial sexual contact on six former patients when they were aged 9 to 13 between 1988 and 1996 Williams Ayres under the guise of medical exams. The jury could have also considered a lesser charge of battery had it acquitted on the felonies.
On Monday, the jury announced it was hopelessly deadlocked and Judge Beth Freeman declared a mistrial. Yesterday, the District Attorneys Ofce said the jury split 11 to 1 in favor of guilt on six counts, 10 to 2 in favor of guilt on one count, and 7 to 5 in favor of guilt on two counts. Prosecutor Melissa McKowan has said a retrial decision is something that will be discussed by her ofce, taking into consideration the breakdown of the jurys positions. The decision will be announced Aug. 28. Prosecutors have long held there are dozens of victims but the majority of claims are too old to be charged. Police arrested Ayres in April 2007 after a search warrant of his storage locker turned up medical les used to identify potential victims. Ayres remains free from custody on $75,000 bail.
Foster City Mayor John Kiramis is endorsing Herb Perez to ll his council seat. Kiramis is not running for re-election this year. Perez is an Olympic gold medalist in tae kwon do and runs the Gold Medal Martial Arts facility at 969B Edgewater Blvd. Councilwoman Pam Frisella is up for re-election this year and Charles

Candidacy papers have also been pulled by Mayor Bob Grassilli, Councilman Matt Grocott and Realtor Bob Bredel for three seats. On April 6, Kelly allegedly called the police department throughout the day, offering threats to ofcers and promises of bringing a bomb to the facility. After a 16-minute call to dispatchers, police arrested him at his home on the 700 block of Linden Avenue. Kelly had no weapons or bomb and gave a bizarre statement about being harassed by police, according to the District Attorneys Ofce. Kelly remains in custody in lieu of $50,000 bail.

Nine years in prison for kidnapper

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Local Brief
Naked parolee to trial
A parolee who allegedly rang doorbells naked and led sheriffs deputies on a high-speed car and foot chase wearing nothing but a pair of shoes was ordered to stand trial on several felonies after a preliminary hearing on the evidence. Peter Allen Steele, 38, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of indecent exposure, driving while under the inuence, resisting Peter Steele arrest, trespassing, vandalism and eeing a peace ofcer. He was held to answer on all counts. Deputies chased Steele July 11 after responding to two reports in Woodside and Portola Valley of a 6foot-7-inch, 250-pound naked man ringing a doorbell. Deputies chased his car onto Interstate 280 where it struck the side of the road at Sand Hill Road. He drove on the rims until the car stopped, then jumped out naked, aside from his shoes, and ran into a nearby homes open garage. He went through the residence and to the back where deputies used a Taser and a bean bag gun to end the chase, according to the District Attorneys Ofce. The man, identied as Steele, was taken to the hospital were he was reportedly masturbated on a gurney. A search of his car turned up a sex toy, according to the DAs Ofce. Steele is on parole for felony assault out of San Francisco and has prior felony convictions for stalking, making threats and evading police. He is in custody in lieu of $60K bail.
One of two men accused of holding a store owner at gunpoint for 18 hours in 2007 while demanding ransom from his family was sentenced yesterday to nine years in prison for felony kidnapping. Saul Davila, 23, faced up to 12 years in prison when he accepted the negotiated deal in which he pleaded no contest to kidnapping, admitted personally using a rearm
and agreed to testify against his accomplice, Arnulfo Barajas Loza. Instead, he received the minimum allowed under the deal with credit for 967 days against the term. Loza, 43, also opted for a plea deal which left Davila not having to take the stand. Authorities believe the two men plus a third unidentied suspect followed the victim to his Redwood City home on April 7, 2007 Lozas 41st birthday and held him at knife and gunpoint while demanding all the money he could
gather from four stores he owns. The man was reported missing the next day by family who realized he never made it home. Later, employees at one of the mans stores in San Jose received a call from the victim and his kidnappers. The man told his employee that all the money from his four food stores was to be delivered to an unidentied location as ransom for the mans release. The police set up a sting to deliver the money but one suspect reportedly ed when he saw the ofcers. The victim was freed
later that day in San Jose but the suspects still reportedly demanded the money. After a second sting delivered $23,000 to Davila, police followed him to Fremont where he and Loza were arrested two days later. The third suspect escaped. On Feb. 6, Davila changed his plea. On April 21, Loza followed suit and was immediately sentenced to 16 years in prison with credit for 855 days. Both men had been in custody on no-bail status since their arrests.
Medical marijuana applications available

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Applications to operate medical marijuana collectives in the countys unincorporated areas under newlyestablished parameters became available yesterday. Applicants must get a business license from the county, provide details about the collective and its employees and demonstrate it complies with state guidelines as part of the 13-page application. The Sheriffs Ofce and Department of Planning
and Building will review the applications and visit the proposed sites before making a recommendation to the countys licensing board. After a license is granted, applicants can expect follow-up compliance inspections by the Sheriffs Ofce. We expect some applicants may nd the application questionnaire is long and burdensome to complete. However, no one benets from confusion over the regulations and we rmly believe legitimate collectives will embrace the regulatory framework ..., said County Counsel
Mike Murphy. Currently operating collectives have 45 days to complete the application process. Those wanting to join a collective for medical purposes must rst see a physician for an assessment and recommendation. If approved, they may apply for a medical marijuana card from the San Mateo County Health System. The Board of Supervisors in May unanimously passed a slate of regulations for medical marijuana dispen-
saries, including 21 provisions regulating the location, security, products allowed and a ban on advertising and sales of cultivated marijuana on site. Violations are misdemeanors. Prior to the vote, some balked at the prohibition of edibles brownies, cookies or other products containing marijuana because not all patients want to smoke. At the ordinances rst introduction, Murphy said the regulations do not prevent users from ingesting the marijuana any way they see t after they get it home.

Home prices in May posted their first monthly increase since the summer of 2006, according to the Standard & Poors/Case-Shiller 20city index. Prices rose from April in 13 of the cities tracked, notably Cleveland, Dallas and Boston. The news follows upbeat reports showing sales of newly built and existing homes rose in June for the third straight month. And new home construction, while still weak, is the best its been since the fall. The news: The 20-city home price index rose 0.5 percent from April to a reading of 139.8, but was still 17.1 percent below the reading of 168.6 in May a year ago. It was the fourth consecutive month the index indicated prices have turned the corner and are heading back toward positive territory. The 20-city index has lost more than 32 percent since its peak reading of 206.52 three years ago. That means home prices are back to mid2003 levels. The report: The Case-Shiller index measures home price increases and decreases relative to prices in January 2000. The base reading is 100; so a reading of 150 would mean that home prices increased 50 percent since the beginning of the index. What it shows: The index tracks repeat sales of a designated group of homes in each city. By measuring the sales price of the same properties over time, the index prevents the data from being skewed by a change in the types of homes sold. Sales between related parties, such as family members, are excluded because they may not reect true market values.
A bipartisan group of senators agreed tentatively Tuesday on a plan to squeeze an additional $35 billion out of Medicare over the next decade and larger sums in the years beyond, according to congressional ofcials, a step toward fullling President Barack Obamas goal of curbing the growth of health care spending. Under the plan, an independent commission would be empowered to recommend changes in Medicare annually, to take effect automatically unless Congress enacted an alternative. In addition to saving money, the proposal is aimed at turning the program for those age 65 and over into one that more clearly rewards quality, ofcials said. The commission would be required to recommend $35 billion in savings over a decade from Medicare. There was no immediate estimate on the
longer-term effects of the provision, the topic of exhaustive discussion among three Democrats and three Republicans groping for a compromise on legislation atop the administrations domestic agenda. The ofcials spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss details of the private talks. The negotiations occurred as White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel spent much of his day in the Capitol attempting to untangle a dispute that has stalled a companion bill in the House. Progress has been blocked by a group of conservative-to-moderate Democrats seeking to exempt additional businesses from a requirement to offer insurance under the bill, and to alter the rules governing a government insurance option, among other changes. The legislative process is about give and take, Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark., a
leader of the Democratic critics, said during a break in the talks. There could be a breakthrough in the next few hours and then again there may not be. There was no breakthrough, and the talks ended around 9:30 p.m. EDT with no agreement except to meet again Wednesday. The White House and Democratic leaders originally set deadlines of votes in the House and Senate on health care legislation before lawmakers leave the Capitol for a monthlong summer vacation. While Speaker Nancy Pelosi has yet to publicly abandon that timetable for the House, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid did so last week, and it appears the earliest either house can vote is in September. Obama is seeking legislation to extend health insurance to millions who lack it, at the same time he has asked lawmakers to slow the growth in the skyrocketing cost of medical care overall.

Former lab employee arrested for destroying lab samples
A former employee of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center was arrested Monday for allegedly destroying $500,000 worth of protein crystal samples at the lab, the FBI announced today. Silvya Oommachen, 32, is accused of removing 42 cassettes, each containing 96 separate crystal samples, from cryogenic containers and placing them on a lab table, according to a complaint led by FBI Special Agent Matthew Quick. Left at room temperature, the crystal samples, sent from scientists or technicians to be examined at SLAC, were ruined, SLAC spokesman Robert Brown said. Oommachen had worked at the Joint Center for Structural Genomics laboratory at SLAC until earlier this month when her employment was terminated because she hadnt shown up for work since June 17, FBI spokeswoman Patti Hansen said.

Survey: Drivers fear other motorists texting habits

A new AAA study nds that U.S. motorists believe driving while texting is nearly as dangerous as driving while drunk. California law prohibits using mobile devices to text message or e-mail while driving. Drivers over 18 are allowed to talk on the phone while driving, but only if they use a handsfree device. A recent survey of 2,500 U.S. residents ages 16 and older by the AAA Foundation for Trafc Safety found that 90 percent of those surveyed believe drunken driving poses a very serious threat to their safety; 87 percent said text messaging or e-mailing while driving is just as dangerous. However, more than two-thirds of survey respondents admitted to talking on a cell phone, hands-free or otherwise, while driving in the past month, and 21 percent said they have read or sent a text message or e-mail while driving, according to AAA.
Bay Area transportation plan now available

The Metropolitan Transportation Commissions newly released Transportation 2035 Plan for the Bay Area is now available for viewing online, along with other companion technical reports.

The near-unanimous Republican vote against Sotomayor on the Judiciary panel reected the choice many GOP conservatives have made to side with their core supporters and oppose a judge they charge will bring liberal bias and racial and gender prejudices to her decisions. Others in the party, however, are concerned that doing so could hurt their efforts to broaden their base, and particularly alienate Hispanic voters, a fast-growing segment of the electorate. Hispanic and civil rights groups hailed the Judiciary Committees action as a turning point in the march toward embracing diversity and racial equality in the United States. stamps in May, and cuts in staff. There are serious and signicant structural financial challenges currently facing the Postal Service, the GAO said.

These ofcers will go to where they are needed most, Holder said. The high demand for aid from more than 7,000 agencies is indicative of the tough economic times they are facing, the attorney general said. That was little comfort to those who didnt get COPS money, like New York, Pittsburgh, Houston, Seattle and Phoenix. Those cities were among the roughly 6,000 applications rejected. For every $1 to be delivered, another $7 in requests will go unanswered under the stimulus package grant program. Biden called paying cops salaries a moral obligation, and said cities left out of funding now will get other money from a different federal grant program. New York City had asked for almost $650 million from the COPS program. It got zero. Local lawmakers of both parties called the decision a disgrace and an outrage. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an independent, said the federal government has a perverse inclination to send money to failing programs, instead of ones that work.

Guest perspective
Show respect for other baseball programs

By Matt Gallegos
n response to Emanuel Lees column A New Era at Serra? in the July 10 edition of the Daily Journal: What happened to the class baseball program that legendary Pete Jensen and the other legendary coaches before him taught to their former players to not speak out against other baseball programs like Sacred Heart (Cathedral), San Francisco State, Burlingame and that winning a lower division CCS championship is not equal to Division I? I hope Tim McKercher (quoted in the column) does not speak for the entire Serra alumni baseball program, especially when comparing Candidate A and Candidate B coaching and playing backgrounds. I also do not take kindly to McKerchers statements with regards to trashing other baseball
programs. I played for two of those programs and I also coached against Burlingame in a Division II CCS Championship in 1998. What does he mean by Candidate A is a Padre and Candidate B attended Sacred Heart in San Francisco? What is McKerchers point? The last time I checked, the WCAL is a brotherhood and we want our WCAL teams to win at all levels because it represents our league. As a Sacred Heart alumnus, I enjoy watching all WCAL teams compete against each other and I have always have had great respect for Serra baseball. Where is your respect? As for Burlingames baseball program, I personally think they have a good program, good athletes and they have been competitive year in and year out. They should be proud of what they have accomplished in recent years. As for San Francisco State, what credentials does McKercher have to
say that they are a little bit better than a high school program? How about telling that to former SFSU head coach Orrin Freeman, now the Major League scout and special assistant to the general manager for the Florida Marlins that sports two World Series rings? How about telling that to John Goelz, current head coach at Sonoma State, that has several league and regional championships to his resume? So, I guess what McKercher is saying is that San Francisco State is as good as the Serras baseball program because it is not your typical high school program right? Or, San Francisco State is a little bit better than Serras baseball program, but not as good as a junior college program? In a nutshell, the alumni at Serra have a right to be upset and question the selection committee and administration with their choice for the head baseball coach, but stay
between the lines and show some class and respect for other baseball programs who work hard and dont have what you have. You guys dont know how lucky you have it! Serra has had great coaches, great players, great facilities, great youth programs and a geographical area to draw players like no other school. Thank your lucky stars that you arent in Sacred Hearts shoes that have to compete in the WCAL with no eld to call home, weak youth programs in the city, and have to ght St. Ignatius and Riordan for the best baseball players in the city.
Matt Gallegos is a 1978 Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory graduate, a 1981 San Francisco State graduate and was the head baseball coach at Sacred Heart from 1994 to 1998. He lives in San Mateo.
Letter to the editor

Legislators need to save money,not spend
Editor, I am sure Assemblyman Ira Ruskins guest perspective is most sincere (A report on the state budget in the July 16 edition of the Daily Journal). The problem is that his mindset is to spend money and then tax to cover said spending. The new crop of legislators elected in the last election went to Sacramento not with ideas as how to save money but ideas as to how to spend even more money! Well, there is no more money to spend! There is a report that Californians who can are leaving this state at a rate of 1,000 people a day. Can this be because of the free-spending Legislature? Proposition 13 came into being because the California Legislature were spending and taxing people out of their homes. It was reported that two years after Proposition 13 came into being the Legislature had an increase of revenue of 300 percent via fees. What happened to that money? San Francisco used to have free medical care for all in need and the politicians usurped that. Consequently, numerous fraternal orders lost membership and numerous and various charities disappeared and our health care is in trouble. Public service salaries and retirement benets ridiculously ballooned compared to the private sector. Ruskin states he took a 10 percent salary cut. I consider that noble. However, it is not noble enough especially when the Legislature can and will not give us a balanced budget. I would like to see the Legislature cut their salary by 30 percent and eliminate many of their perks. I would also like to see immediate pensions eliminated and held to their 65th year. One cannot close universities or parks but one can review their structure and make needed cuts. The UC Berkeley president should not be paid almost $1 million. Concerning schools, we would have enough money if we would cut the waste, duplication and redundancy easily done by having only one district per county throughout California. Ruskin closed with a remark by James Madison, ....that government by two thirds would mean the rule of the minority. James Madison also stated, Taxes are a form of slavery. I challenge Ruskin to put forth a bill that every legislator not receive any salary after July 1 unless we have a balanced budget.

NEW YORK An economic reality check is cooling the stock markets rally. Stocks ended little changed Tuesday as a key barometer of consumer condence and a handful of disappointing earnings reports reminded investors that an economic recovery this year is far from assured. The Dow slipped 12 points, while the Nasdaq composite index posted a small gain. Trading was more erratic Tuesday than the past two days, however in all three days the major market indexes closed with only modest changes. Investors remain cautious but still arent willing to give up on a rally that has propelled stocks up 11 percent in little more than two weeks. Investors were uneasy after the Conference Boards consumer confidence index fell more than expected, fanning worries that bleak expectations among consumers and rising unemployment would hamper the economys ability to rebound from the longest recession since World War II. Meanwhile, corporate earnings reports, which beat relatively meager expectations earlier this month, were
more disappointing and showed that many consumers remain unwilling or unable to spend. Ofce Depot Inc. and handbag maker Coach Inc. both had trouble drawing in customers during the second quarter. If consumers dont step up spending, companies will nd it hard to boost revenue. The recent string of stronger corporate prots have come from deep cost-cutting, which can only be used to lift earnings for so long. Companies need to start showing theyre bringing in more sales and revenue. The third upbeat reading on the housing market since last week and dealmaking in the technology industry helped temper the markets disappointment. Even without the latest worries about consumers, analysts have been anticipating some pause in buying after this months surge, which restarted a massive rally that began in March. The advance zzled in mid-June on lackluster economic reports. John Merrill, chief investment ofcer of Tanglewood Wealth Management in Houston, said some institutional investors are being forced to pour money into stocks to try to keep pace with a 44.8 percent rally in the S&P 500 index since March 9.
That kind of gives a nice give-andtake with nobody motivated to strongly sell and nobody motivated to strongly buy, he said. The Dow nished down 11.79, or 0.1 percent, to 9,096.72 after being down as much as 101 points. It was the blue chips rst loss in four days and only the fth down day of the month. The broader Standard & Poors 500 index fell 2.56, or 0.3 percent, to 979.62. The Nasdaq composite index rose 7.62, or 0.4 percent, to 1,975.51 after several technology companies announced acquisitions. Falling stocks narrowly outpaced those that rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.2 billion shares, compared with 1 billion Monday. Bond prices were mixed after a Treasury Department auction of twoyear notes generated lackluster demand. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 3.69 percent from 3.73 percent. Investors are anxious about government debt auctions because weak demand could force Washington to entice buyers with higher interest rates. That could hurt an economic rebound by increasing borrowing costs for consumers.
Dozens charged in fraud schemes

Government considers limits on energy trading
WASHINGTON With consumers hit by oil price swings, federal regulators may be moving toward imposing limits on speculative energy trading, which some blame for price volatility. The head of the U.S. agency weighing new curbs on Tuesday faulted excessive speculation but also underscored the role of nancial investors in helping set fair prices that can benet consumers. Gary Gensler, chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, said his agency must seriously consider imposing stringent limits on speculative trading of energy futures contracts, a move that would mark a major shift for the government.
MIAMI Federal prosecutors say 41 people have been charged in the latest round of South Florida mortgage fraud schemes. The charges stem from six separate cases involving about $41 million in fraudulent mortgages. Some cases involve fraud at nearly every level of the transaction, from purchasers to lenders to title companies. Acting Miami U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Sloman says an antifraud initiative in South Florida has resulted in charges against 218 people since 2007. The total fraud was pegged at more than $268 million.
IBM scoops up software maker SPSS in $1.2B deal

The all-cash deal announced Tuesday represents a 42 percent premium over Chicago-based SPSSs closing price of $35.09 on Monday. SPSSs technology is used to comb through stockpiles of data to predict things such as how a customer will respond to a particular sales pitch, or where hot spots for crime are and where police should be deployed. The company claims its customers include agencies in all U.S. state governments, top U.S. universities and consumer goods, pharmaceutical and market-research companies.
Sprint focuses on prepaid with Virgin Mobile deal

NEW YORK Sprint Nextel Corp. is intensifying its focus on the fast-growing market for prepaid cell phone service with a $483 million deal to buy Virgin Mobile USA Inc. The acquisition announced Tuesday calls for Sprint to pay $5.50 in stock for each Virgin Mobile share. Sprint already owned 13.1 percent of Virgin Mobile, which uses Sprints network to offer service. The offer comes at a 31 percent premium to Virgin Mobiles closing share price Monday of $4.21. The shares closed up $1.07, or 25.4 percent, to $5.28 Tuesday. Like other prepaid vendors, Virgin Mobile primarily targets customers who lack the credit or income to sign long-term contracts or simply want a bargain over contract-based plans. It has 5.2 million subscribers who pay an average of $20 per month. Sprint has 49.1 million subscribers, including those using the network through wholesalers like Virgin Mobile.

Americans gloomy on economy

By Anne DInnocenzio
NEW YORK Americans are looking past the stock market surge and signs of a stabilizing economy and focusing on something more personal job worries. Consumer confidence fell this month, the Conference Board said Tuesday, presenting a big obstacle for already hammered stores as they head into the critical back-to-school shopping season. The condence index fell to 46.6, down from 49.3 in June and weaker than what economists were expecting. It takes a reading above 90 to signal Americans believe the economy is on solid footing. The second straight month of declining condence followed an upbeat report offering more evidence that the real estate market is showing signs of life. According to a widely watched index, home prices in May posted their rst monthly increase since the summer of 2006. But vanishing job security and reduced work hours continue to
Consumer spending accounts for more than 70 percent of economic activity. Condence had been rebounding since March after reaching historic lows.But since June,harsh economic realities are catching up with shoppers again.
plague shoppers, who are relying more on their paychecks as two previous sources of money credit cards and home equity loans have shrunk. When the Labor Department releases its monthly jobs report next week, economists expect it to show unemployment climbed to 9.7 percent in July, up from 9.5 percent in June and within shouting distance of its post-World War II high. And the job cuts keep coming. Just Monday, Verizon Communications Inc. announced plans to slash more than 8,000 employee and contractor jobs before the end of the year. Irma Sanches of Milwaukee was once a big spender. But now the 25year-old single mother is having trouble nding a job that offers her exibility to take care of her infant daughter. She was looking at toys at TJ Maxx on Tuesday but trying not to spend money. Im a shopper, and right now Im restricted to what I need, said Sanches. Americans lack of confidence presents a big hurdle for retailers because consumer spending accounts for more than 70 percent of economic activity. Confidence had been rebounding since March after reaching historic lows. But since June, harsh economic realities are catching up with shoppers again. Even though we have seen an improvement in economic indicators, there hasnt been any meaningful improvement in household nances, said Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo. Consumers are not in the position to step up their spending in a major way. This doesnt bode well for the back-to-school season. Frank Newport, editor-in-chief of the Gallup Poll, said recent surveys have picked up growing skepticism among Americans about the government stimulus plan, hurting condence. Both components of the Conference Boards consumer condence gauge one that measures shoppers current assessment of the economy and another that measures shoppers outlook over the next six months further declined from last month. The consumer condence survey was sent to 5,000 households and had a cutoff date for responses of July 21. The encouraging news is that the housing market, while far from healthy, is showing some signs of stabilizing. The Standard & Poors/Case-Shiller home price index of 20 major cities rose slightly in April but is still well below levels of a year ago. Thirteen cities showed monthly
increases, with the best results in Cleveland, Dallas and Boston. On Monday, the government said new home sales increased last month at the fastest pace in more than eight years as buyers took advantage of bargain prices. But economists believe an improving job picture, not housing, is the vital factor in boosting condence and getting people spending again. Jen Ferguson of Milwaukee feels fairly secure in her job as a city planner, but shell watch closely as budget talks get under way this fall. She recently bought a condo and said shes had to watch her spending habits. Its not a total stop, but Im waiting to know if I have the money before I spend it, she said. Vitner said he doesnt believe that the job market will begin to bottom out until mid-2010 and doesnt expect condence to return to healthy levels until 2011 or 2012. We are going to have a slow and frustrating climb out of this recession, he said.
Song swapper doing what kids do

By Eric Tucker
BOSTON A Boston University graduate student was a kid who did what kids do when he swapped songs through le-sharing networks like Kazaa, his lawyer said Tuesday as his copyright-infringement trial began. In only the second music-downloading case against an individual to go to trial, the major recording labels accuse Joel Tenenbaum, 25, of Providence, R.I., of downloading and distributing songs from bands such as Green Day and Aerosmith. The case centers on 30 shared songs, though the recording companies say he distributed many more than that. Last month, a federal jury ruled a Minnesota woman must pay $1.92 million for copyright infringement. The industry has typically offering to settle cases for about $5,000, though it has said that it stopped ling such lawsuits last August and is instead working with Internet service providers to fight the worst offenders. Cases already led, however, are proceeding to trial. Charles Nesson, the Harvard Law
School professor representing Tenenbaum, said his client a graduate student in physics started downloading music as a teenager, taking advantage of le-sharing networks that make it possible for computer users to share digital les with a network of strangers. He was a kid who did what kids do and loved technology and loved music, Nesson said in opening statements. Nesson said the recording companies enjoyed decades of success but were slow to adapt to the advancements of the Internet. The Internet was not Joels fault, Nesson said. The Internet sweeps in like the way the automobile swept into the buggy industry. But Tim Reynolds, one of the lawyers representing the recording industry, said song-swappers like Tenenbaum take a signicant toll on the recording industrys revenues and on backup singers, sound engineers and other people who make a living in music. Reynolds said Tenenbaum used a computer in his parents house in Providence and then at Goucher College in Baltimore, where he was a student, to download and distrib-
ute digital les. He was agged in August 2004 by MediaSentry, a private investigation company that was used by the recording industry to identify illegal song distribution. Reynolds said that Tenenbaum continued distributing songs even after he had been confronted about it and that the defendant blamed his sister, friends and a foster child who had lived at the house. This defendant knew what he was doing was wrong at each step of the way, Reynolds said. Under federal law, the recording companies are entitled to $750 to $30,000 per infringement but the law allows the jury to raise that to as much as $150,000 per track if it nds the infringements were willful. In the Minnesota case, the jury ruled Jammie Thomas-Rasset, 32, willfully violated the copyrights on 24 songs and awarded damages of $80,000 per song. Nesson urged the jury to nd the minimum number of infringements by Tenenbaum, if any at all. The recording companies involved in the case are subsidiaries of Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group Corp. and Sony Corp.
Frugal parents tossing disposable training pants

By Betsy Vereckey
The recession is making life a little messier for some toddlers and their parents. Disposable training pants, long viewed as a staple in potty training children, are becoming dispensable as some parents choose value over convenience in the recession. These days, an accident here and there has become an acceptable tradeoff for saving some $30 to $100 a month. And many parents say that doing away with the crutch has had an added benet: surprisingly quick toilet training. Parents embraced disposable training pants when they hit the market 20 years ago because they made life easier, preventing messy accidents as children transitioned from diapers to underwear. The training pants contain absorbent material just like diapers, but are elasticized and can be pulled up and down like underwear. Now rising unemployment, stagnant wages and sharp drops in both housing
and stock markets have caused consumers to redene whats essential. As theyve pored over their expenses, sales data suggest more parents are nding its one product theyre willing to try doing without. Darcy Forsell had spent so much on diapers in her daughters early years at least $1,500 by her estimate that when the time came for 3-year-old Liz to potty-train, Forsell decided to skip the training pants. It didnt seem like a good investment in terms of time and money, Forsell said. Industrywide, sales of disposable training pants declined 3.2 percent to $731.2 million for the 52 weeks ending June 13 and the number of training pants sold is down 10 percent, according to data from The Nielsen Co. Thats despite the fact that, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates, U.S. births rose 3 percent in 2006 and 1 percent in 2007. The decline in an industry that had grown steadily for 20 years raises questions about whether the trend will continue when the economy recovers.

No silver lining
Biedermann relegates Phelps to second place

Rivals trade barbs

THE ASSOICATED PRESS
ROME Michael Phelps sure looked out of place. After bending over to accept a medal he wanted no part of, then listening to another swimmers national anthem, Phelps tried to make his getaway. Not so fast there were still pictures to take. So he straggled back to the top step of the awards stand, the place he knows so well. This time, it was already occupied. Phelps stood off to the side while Paul Biedermann was the center of attention and photographers snapped away. The unheralded German pulled off one of swimmings greatest upsets when he beat Phelps in the 200-meter freestyle at the world championships Tuesday, also snatching his world record. But no one thought this was a fair ght. In yet another twist to the never-ending saga over high-tech swimsuits, Biedermann acknowledged that his polyurethane version gave him an edge over Phelps, who stuck with his once-revolutionary LZR Racer. Phelps coach even threatened to pull his star from future international meets unless the governing body acts with more urgency to get rid of suits that have rendered the record book obsolete. The suits make a difference, Biedermann said. I hope there will be a time when I can beat Michael Phelps without these suits. I hope next year. I hope its really soon. Phelps cant wait.

Above: Michael Phelps looks on as Paul Biedermann celebrates his win in the 200 freestyle at the World Championships. Right: Phelps is disappointed with a second-place nish in the 200 free.
Its going to be fun next year, he said, when swimming is back to swimming. Phelps took his rst major individual loss in four years, doled out by a swimmer barely known outside his country until he got to Rome. In the space of three days, the 22-yearold German wiped Ian Thorpes name out of the record book in the 400 free, then he took down the winningest Olympian with a time of 1 minute, 42.00 seconds, nearly a second faster than Phelps 1:42.96 at Beijing. Biedermann just took off, Phelps said. He took it to a new level in that race.
But how much was the man? How much was the suit? Biedermann wore an Arena XGlide, which has taken its place alongside the Jaked suit as the fastest thing on water. Yes, even faster than Speedos once-heralded suit, which battered the record book in 2008 but was surpassed by attire thats even more buoyant, allowing
the swimmer to glide along the top of the water with less resistance. Shortly before the race, FINA conrmed that a ban on bodysuits will go into effect next year, making this the last major competition where such suits are allowed. It will take effect by May 2010.
MADRID Alberto Contador and Lance Armstrong are sniping again after a fragile truce during the Tour de France. Contador, who secured his second Tour win on Sunday in Paris, said he had no admiration for the American as a person and tensions between the two had a negative effect on the Astana team. Armstrong, the seventime champion who nished third in his rst Tour since 2005, responded that Contador should drop this drivel. My relationship with Lance Armstrong is zero, Contador said late Monday in his hometown of Pinto outside Madrid. Hes a great rider and he did a great Tour. Another thing is on a personal level, where I have never admired him and never will. Armstrong, who had criticized Contador as being inexperienced earlier this year, responded with his own salvo on Twitter. Hey pistolero, there is no I in team. what did I say in March? Lots to learn. Restated, Armstrong wrote. The pistolero remark stems from Contadors habit of celebrating victories by shooting an imaginary pistol. Seeing these comments from AC (Alberto Contador). If I were him Id drop this drivel and start thanking his team. w/o them, he doesnt win, Armstrong added. A champion is also measured on how much he

Bank of West Classic

MINNEAPOLIS Brett Favre has handed the Minnesota Vikings one more loss. The 39-year-old Favre called Vikings coach Brad Childress on Tuesday to tell the coach he wont be coming out of retirement to play for Minnesota. It was the hardest decision Ive ever made, Favre told ESPN. I didnt feel like physically I could play at a level that was acceptable. I would like to thank everyone, including the Packers, Jets and Vikings but, most importantly, the fans. The decision, which was rst reported by the Star Tribune of Minneapolis, is a stunner for the Vikings after they openly courted Favre all summer. Adding him would have been viewed by many as the nal piece for a team that already has star running back Adrian Peterson and a stingy veteran defense that returns nearly intact from last years NFC North title season. It was a rare and unique opportunity to
consider adding not only a future Hall of Fame quarterback but one that is very familiar with our system and division, Childress said in a prepared statement. That does not detract from the team that we have. Last year, Favre tearfulBrett Favre ly retired from the Green Bay Packers after 17 seasons in the NFL and three MVP awards then made an about-face and was traded to the New York Jets. He retired again, had surgery in May to alleviate a torn biceps tendon and then irted with the idea of coming back again with the Vikings, the Packers NFC North rival. When I heard the news, I was probably as surprised and shocked as everybody else, linebacker Ben Leber told The Associated Press in a phone interview. The writing on the wall was as long as his arm was healthy he

STANFORD Serena Williams and big sister Venus know their newfound focus on doubles is sure to affect their energy in singles. Theyre willing to make that sacrice if it leads to more Grand Slam titles together. Neither top-seeded Serena nor second-seeded Venus showed off their best tennis Tuesday night, each still doing plenty right for straightset victories in their rst-round singles matches at the Bank of the West Classic. Serena broke serve three times in the opening set but needed a second-set tiebreaker to beat gutsy Li Na of China 6-3, 7-6 (6) a couple of hours after Venus 6-2, 6-3 win over Stephanie Dubois of Canada in this $700,000 tournament at Stanford. Li trailed 6-2 in tiebreaker but came back to tie it at 6-6 before Serena nally capitalized on her seventh match point. I was too anxious and ready to go home and was playing a tough player who never gives up, Serena said. Obviously I can play better. I think I hit ve rst serves in the whole match. Im a little off. Thats ne. Id rather be a little off now than later.
The Williams sisters were back on court for their rst competition since Serena beat Venus at Wimbledon. After some post-Wimbledon down time, it wasnt always pretty. Serena overcame seven double faults and showed her frustration at times after leading 4-1 in the second set. She bounced her racket off the ground and caught it in the rst. While Venus looked far from sharp during spurts as she missed shots long and sent others into the net, she pulled out enough of her top shots when it mattered. Same for Serena. Could it be another all-Williams nal come Sunday? Venus has reached the nals in six of her seven previous appearances at the Bank of the West Classic. Serena is making only her second appearance at Stanford. She reached the seminals in 2008, but injuries kept her from competing in other years when she had planned to participate. Ranked second in the world, Serena already has two Grand Slam wins this year at the

Giants get well on Pirates

Giants Notebook
Injury derails Big Unit
At least Randy Johnson is able to maintain his sense of humor, even as his pitching future this season is in doubt. The San Francisco Giants left-hander learned Tuesday he has a torn rotator cuff in his left shoulder and wont be able to throw for at least three weeks. Obviously the rst thing I thought is that I wont be able to do my instructional hitting video, joked Johnson, who injured himself while batting during a 7-1 loss to Houston on July 5. That will be on the back burner for a while. So, too, will be Johnsons bid to get back in the Giants rotation. The 303-game winner, who was transferred to the 60-day disabled list, wont pitch again in a game until early September, if at all. Johnson is 8-6 with a 4.81 ERA with the Giants this season but hasnt pitched since the loss to the Astros. After undergoing an MRI on Monday Johnsons second on the shoulder since originally injuring it the Big Unit met with team orthopedist Dr. Ken Akizuki. Surgery was not discussed, according to Johnson, and he will continue to work out with the team while trying to strengthen the muscles in his shoulder. Theres a lot of inammation thats cleared up, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. If you really looked at all the pitchers it would show something, some tearing there. Were going to give him three more weeks to let that heal up. Johnson acknowledged this is foreign territory, with no shoulder problems in the past.
Giants 3, Pirates 2
The Giants pulled even with Colorado in the NL wild card race. Zito pitched well but wasnt around for the decision. The left-hander, who lost to the Pirates on July 18, allowed one run and nine hits in 5 2-3 innings before giving way to Romo with two runners on in the sixth. Romo struck out Andrew McCutchen to end the threat. Morton (2-3) took the loss despite giving up two runs and six hits in six innings. The Pirates righty, who tossed seven shutout innings to beat the Giants 10 days earlier, struck out ve and walked three while throwing a season-high 107 pitches. Garko, who ew to San Francisco late Monday night after being scratched from the Indians lineup in Anaheim where Cleveland was playing the Angels, started at rst base and batted sixth. He went 0 for 4. Pittsburgh led 1-0 when McCutchen hit Zitos rst pitch of the game down the left eld line for a double and scored on Delwyn Youngs bloop single to right. San Francisco added a run in the seventh when Andres Torres doubled and scored on Sandovals single. The Pirates scored a run off reliever Jeremy Affeldt in the eighth to make it 3-2. NOTES: To make room for Garko, the Giants placed OF Nate Schierholtz on the 15day DL with a strained left hip. ... Pittsburgh
SAN FRANCISCO Eugenio Velez homered in the second inning and had a tiebreaking RBI double in the sixth and the San Francisco Giants stayed hot at home with a 32 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night. Pablo Sandoval, Bengie Molina and Juan Uribe had two hits each for the Giants, while Sergio Romo (3-1) pitched 1-3 of an inning for the win, the Giants seventh in their last nine games at AT&T Park. Brian Wilson pitched a scoreless ninth for his 26th save and San Francisco improved to 20-7 at home since May 25. Ryan Doumit and Luis Cruz each had two hits for the Pirates, who have lost four straight and ve of six. San Francisco added some much-needed power to its lineup by acquiring right-handed hitting first baseman Ryan Garko from Cleveland on Monday but it was Velez, their diminutive utility player, who provided the big blow to break up a pitchers duel between Pittsburghs Charlie Morton and Barry Zito of the Giants. Velez, who was recalled from Triple-A on Monday, hit a solo homer off Morton with two outs in the second, then doubled in the sixth to drive in Fred Lewis and put the Giants ahead 2-1. Velezs homer to right-center was his rst since Aug. 30, 2008.
was held without a home run after hitting 17 in its previous 14 games. In other NL games, Adam Wainwright went eight innings and St. Louis roughed up Chad Billingsley in a six-run sixth inning of a 10-0 victory Tuesday night, handing Los Angeles its rst three-game losing streak of the season. The Dodgers have the majors best record at 62-38 and were the last team to lose three straight, going a franchise-record 99 games before falling in their 100th game. That shattered the previous mark of 73 games in June 1965. Billingsley (10-6) had a one-hitter through ve innings before falling apart in a game that was delayed 1 hour, 25 minutes before the start due to the threat of heavy rain that never came. The Dodgers have managed one run on 20 hits in the rst two games of a four-game series and are 2-10 at 4-year-old Busch Stadium. Ryan Ludwicks bases-loaded single keyed the sixth-inning outburst and Mark DeRosa added a three-run homer in the eighth. Albert is 1 for 7 with three walks in the series and 10 for 42 (.238) since the All-Star break with two homers, two RBIs and no other extra-base hits. Wainwright (12-6) scattered eight hits with ve strikeouts and one walk. In Phoenix, Shane Victorino homered and drove in two runs and Cole Hamels pitched eight dominant innings for Philadelphia in a 4-3 victory.

was still 7-7 with two out in the 11th when Ellis doubled off Manny Delcarmen (2-2) and scored on Davis single to right. The odds of pulling that off are slim, and we did it, said As manager Bob Geren, whose team came back from a 10-run decit earlier in the season. We pulled off some late-inning heroics this year a few times. But tonight was big at this ballpark against that team. And against a bullpen that hadnt allowed a run in 25 innings since the All-Star break. Its tough. What am I going to do? Things like that happen, said Papelbon, who blew just his third save in 28 opportunities. Youve got to and move on and get ready for tomorrow. Davis scored on Adam Kennedys careerhigh fth hit to make it 9-7. Craig Breslow (44) pitched a perfect 10th for the win, and
BOSTON The Boston Red Sox retired Jim Rices No. 14 on Tuesday night. Then the Oakland Athletics went out and hit like him. Adam Kennedy had a career-high ve of the As season-high 21 hits, and Mark Ellis had four as Oakland rallied from a three-run deficit against Jonathan Papelbon to beat Boston 9-8 in 11 innings. Ellis Oaklands No. 14 also scored four times, including the tying run in the ninth and the go-ahead run in the 11th. Both times he was singled in by Rajai Davis. They fell in for us. That just happens, Davis said. Thats nothing against that bullpen. Its a tough game to be perfect in. Boston led 7-4 when Papelbon came in for the ninth, but he walked the leadoff hitter and gave up three hits; he was also hurt by two throwing errors by shortstop Nick Green. It
Andrew Bailey earned his 12th save despite giving one run back in the 11th. One night after the slumping Red Sox offense broke out with 14 hits, the club hung Rices No. 14 on the Fenway facade to honor the Hall of Fame slugger. Jacoby Ellsbury had two of Bostons 14 hits for his fth multihit game in a row. He also had an RBI groundout in the 11th to make it 9-8, but Bailey got Dustin Pedroia on a harmless y ball to left. Orlando Cabrera had three hits as the As avoided falling 17 games below .500 for the rst time since 1997. Clay Buchholz, who has been sought after in trade talks, got into trouble in three of the rst four innings. But he left with a 5-2 lead, and Ramon Ramirez gave up one run, Hideki Okajima another and Papelbon allowed three in the ninth two earned. The last-minute outburst rescued Vin Mazzaro from an eighth loss in his last nine
starts. Boston led 5-2 after three, 6-2 after six and 7-4 at the end of eight innings. Papelbon came in to pitch the ninth, but Cust drew a leadoff walk and scored on Tommy Everidges rst major-league hit a double high off the Green Monster. Ellis reached on an ineld single that scored Everidge and took second on Greens rst throwing error. Ellis stole third and scored on Rajai Davis ineld single; he went all the way to third on another error by Green. Papelbon struck out Kennedy to end the inning and send the game into extras. NOTES: Geren was ejected for yelling something from the dugout in the ve-run third. ... The As placed INF Daric Barton on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring and recalled Everidge from TripleA Sacramento. Everidge made his majorleague debut. ... David Ortiz is expected to get the day off on Wednesday, when the As will pitch lefty Brett Anderson.

ance Armstrong and Michael Phelps have a lot of things in common. Theyre beloved by the American public, extraordinary athletes and role models to millions of people worldwide. But as this years Tour de France and Swimming World Championships showed, they also have this in common: Theyre both classless frauds. First, lets take Phelps, who won a recordbreaking eight gold medals at last years Olympics. After nishing second in Tuesdays nal of the 200-meter freestyle, Phelps coach Bob Bowman, whined about todays hightech swimsuits and even threatened to pull his star pupil out of future meets unless FINA, swimmings governing body, banned suits such as the Arena X-Glide and Jaked. You see, Phelps swims in a Speedo LZR Racer, which when it came out two years ago, was the hottest thing in the water. Now its pretty much obsolete, and soon will be going the way of the Dodo bird among pro swimmers. Phelps will never be accused of being the most savvy person out there, but even he knows if he was the one complaining about the high-tech suits, he would come off as a crybaby. So hes letting his coach do it. Of course, you didnt hear Bowman or Phelps make waves about this matter when Phelps was breaking all sorts of records competing in the Racer the last two years, when it was the sleekest, most advanced swim suit on the market.

second week thereby taking control of the race Armstrong was resigned to being a support rider, but he couldnt help but say, Just in case Alberto cracks... Mind you, Armstrong is supposed to be Contadors teammate. You dont say stuff like that about your teammate. Even in the aftermath of the Tours final day, Armstrong told reporters that Contador had weaknesses, but he wasnt willing to divulge the details. Really Lance? Like what? That he didnt batter you in the time trials and mountain stages by hours, instead of minutes? That Armstrong would stoop so low only showed how badly he wanted to win and the futile attempts he was willing to take to do so. Armstrong shouldve been the best support rider for Contador. Instead, he put his own agenda before the teams, a major no-no in the world of pro cycling. Armstrong talked about how champions respect their teammates and opponents. Well, actions speak louder than words, and all of Armstrongs actions in this years Tour show hes merely a hypocrite. Remember when Armstrong announced his comeback, saying he was merely back to be a support rider for Contador? Yeah, really kept your word there, huh Lance? Its true that the greatest measure of a sportsman is the actions he takes in losing, because anyone can have fun when things are going well. Judging by what I saw in the last few weeks, its apparent Armstrong and Phelps t the denition of being sore losers. poses with Biedermann and bronze medalist Danila Izotov of Russia. When the three of them headed off around the pool deck together, the winner danced for the German fans, while Phelps managed a few weak smiles. Finally, Phelps climbed toward the stands to drop off a stuffed mascot with his mother, Debbie, who leaned over to give him a consoling hug. Before her son even left the pool deck, he pulled off his silver medal, as if he wanted no part of a consolation prize. Phelps did come back about an hour later to qualify for the nal of the 200 buttery on what gures to be his toughest day of the meet. He posted the second-fastest time in the seminals, just 13-hundredths behind Japans Takeshi Matsuda. The nal is Wednesday night, a chance for Phelps to get back on the top step of the podium. Biedermanns upset launched another night of record breaking at the world championships. Four more world standards were bumped from the books, bringing the total to 15 through the rst three days of an eight-day meet. That equals the number of records set at the last worlds in Melbourne two years ago, and will soon go right on past the staggering 25 worlds marks set last summer at the Olympics. with Astana remains uncertain. Wherever I go I will look for a teammate who is with me 100 percent, Contador said. Armstrongs future is set. Hell lead a new squad sponsored by RadioShack. Contadors plans, however, are uncertain. Astana likely will welcome back Alexandre Vinokourov, its fallen former star, after a doping ban. Whether Astana will still have room for Contador, and whether the Spaniard will want to team with Vinokourov, is unknown. Whats very clear is Armstrong and Contador already are relishing the chance to face off again next year.

Crabtree could be long holdout
San Francisco 49ers coach Mike Singletary says he wont be surprised if top draft pick Michael Crabtree hasnt agreed to a contract before training camp opens this weekend. After holding out at least twice during his own playing career, Singletary knows such tactics are just part of the game. Crabtree, the record-setting receiver from Texas Tech, was the 10th overall pick in the NFL draft. The 49ers rookies reported to the clubs training complex Tuesday, but Crabtree wasnt among them. San Francisco is in talks with Crabtrees agent, Eugene Parker, but the sides dont appear to be close to a deal. Several of Parkers clients have held out in recent years, and he is reportedly seeking a deal worth more than the usual salary slot. Singletary can relate to that tactic: He held out as a rookie with the Chicago Bears because the second-round pick felt he should have gone in the rst round, and therefore should be compensated appropriately. So yes, I held out for a week, he said. Crabtree also missed the 49ers offseason minicamps and their organized team activities while recovering from a foot injury, but was a regular presence at the training complex for rehabilitation and strengthening workouts. He also participated in regular throwing drills with quarterbacks Alex Smith and Shaun Hill. They both reported to camp Tuesday to get a jump on their competition for the starting spot, along with the installation of San Franciscos seventh new offense in seven seasons. Singletary is eager to get started on his rst training camp since taking over the 49ers midway through last season, the franchises sixth consecutive losing campaign. I dont know about old school, Singletary said of his approach. Old school, new school, we are just going to work.
How convenient. Phelps was all too happy when he had the technological advantage, but now that hes been left behind, his true colors come out. Of course, Phelps can mitigate any advantage of a fellow competitor by simply swimming in a Jaked or X-Glide. But hes sponsored by Speedo, and he dare not want to anger one of his biggest endorsers. Now lets go to Armstrong. In this country, speaking ill of Armstrong is like attacking the Pope. Because of his remarkable story cancer survivor, seven-time Tour de France champion and a leading public gure to nd a cure for cancer Armstrong is revered and rightly so. But it doesnt mean hes infallible. And what he did at this years Tour showed his true colors of being a cutthroat and classless athlete. From the start of the Tour to the end, Armstrong couldnt help but sprinkle in comments about Astana teammate and this years champion, the great Spaniard Alberto Contador. Knowing he was outclassed from a physical standpoint, Armstrong tried in vain to get into Contadors head. It reeked of desperation. After the Spaniard won a critical mountain stage in the Tours Phelps was ahead off the blocks, but Biedermann surged into the lead by the rst ip and steadily extended his advantage. By the nish, he was a full body length ahead of Phelps. While Biedermann hung on the lane rope, thrusting his right hand in the air, Phelps stared at the scoreboard for a few seconds before heading off in the opposite direction, not even bothering to shake hands with the swimmer who had just handed him his rst big individual loss since July 30, 2005. That night, Ian Crocker beat Phelps in the 100 buttery at the world championships in Montreal. Bouncing back from that disappointment, Phelps went 5-for-5 in his individual events at the 2007 worlds in Melbourne, then duplicated the feat at Beijing, where three relay wins gave him an iconic sporting achievement. Theoretically, that was a pretty good swim for me, three-tenths off my best time after taking six months off, said Phelps, referring to his layoff after the Olympics. I mean, Im not happy, but I mean I know I didnt train much this year. For right now, Ill take it. But Im not pleased. That was obvious from the awards ceremony, where Phelps went through some forced Contador proved too strong in the mountains and was able to pull away for a decisive edge in the Alps. On a couple of occasions, Armstrong questioned Contadors tactics during the race, saying they went against the good of the team. It was a tense situation, said Contador, who also won the race in 2007. We didnt have uid communication despite the fact that we were the two main riders on the team. And this meant the rest of the cyclists and the technical staff also felt a bit of tension. Armstrong is launching his own U.S.-based team for next year, while Contadors future

Not soon enough for Phelps coach. Weve lost all the history of the sport. Does a 10-year-old boy in Baltimore want to break Paul Biedermanns record? Bob Bowman said after the race. The sport is in shambles right now and they better do something or theyre going to lose their guy who lls these suits. Biedermann acknowledged after his 400 free win that the suit made him two seconds faster, but Phelps passed on the chance to wear one of the latest-generation suits. Hes been sponsored by Speedo since he was a teenager and wasnt about to abandon the company that paid him a $1 million bonus after he won eight gold medals in Beijing. A business decision that had nothing to do with Biedermann. He just went out in the best suit he could nd, then beat the best. Its not my problem, Biedermann said. Its the problem of FINA. They should handle it really fast.

I have legitimate reasons for my decision. Im 39 with a lot of sacks to my name. Now Childress has some damage control to do with Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels, the two veterans who were expected to compete for the job before the latest Favre drama began. Both were peppered with questions about Favre during the teams minicamps this summer and are suddenly back in the mix. Jacksons agent, Joel Segal, said he spoke to his client shortly after the news broke. He was his usual cool, calm and collected self, Segal said. He said, Great, lets get ready for camp. Favre holds almost every NFL career passWe kind of have this secret goal I cant talk about, Venus said. Serena wouldnt elaborate much. Our dream is no longer, she said. I cant get a better partner, I just dont think so. She gets everything. After Venus Williams and Dubois failed to hold serve through the rst three games of the opening set, Williams cruised the rest of the way in the rst meeting between the two. ing record that matters, including touchdown passes (464), completions (5,720), yards passing (65,127), regular-season victories (169) and interceptions (310). Many thought he could help the Vikings land that elusive Super Bowl championship, even if he was reviled by fans here during his incredible run across the state line in Wisconsin. Favre instead passed on a chance for revenge on GM Ted Thompson and the Packers, whom he felt gave up on him too soon when deciding to move forward last summer with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He was sent instead to the Jets, where arm problems contributed to a 1-4 nish that kept them It was a great match to get my rhythm, hit a lot of balls and work on my shots, said Williams, who won titles here in 2000 and 02. Its all about the mentality. I usually adjust pretty quickly. ... I do want to try new and different things.

was going to play. I thought it was just a contractual deal that was taking so long and I really expected him to be at camp. Favre turns 40 in October and didnt think he had enough left to get through a full season. I had to be careful not to commit for the wrong reasons, Favre said. They were telling me, You went through all this, you had the surgery and youve got to nish it off. But
out of the playoffs. Childress said Favres decision does not temper the teams high expectations. As we have consistently communicated, we feel good about our team and they have put forth a tremendous effort this offseason preparing for the season ahead, he said. With this behind us, we look forward to getting to Mankato and getting training camp under way. Of course, this is Favre, which means theres always the chance that he will change his mind. Former teammate Matt Hasselbeck tweeted that Brett has always been predictably unpredictable. Williams said: We love playing in L.A. Im sorry, not L.A., I mean California. It feels like home for us. Earlier Tuesday, Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia outlasted defending champion Aleksandra Wozniak 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 in 2 hours, 33 minutes.

eral and constitutional requirements, the Schwarzenegger administration wants to ensure the state has a cash cushion in case of emergencies such as earthquakes and wildres. Californias economy has been hit by the housing market slump and high unemployment, and the latest efforts to close a $26 billion shortfall came just ve months after lawmakers and the governor ended months of negotiations to close a previous $42 billion decit. The governor and lawmakers hope the revised spending plan will end Californias cash crisis and let the state stop issuing IOUs. Schwarzeneggers nance director, Michael Genest, said it would take days for nance ofcials to nish analyzing the revised budgets impact on cash ow. Its not going to happen overnight, but theyre going to work on it, Schwarzenegger said of Genest and the state treasurer and controller. Genest warned that even with the revised budget deal, California will need to borrow $8 billion to $10 billion to cover its cash needs this year, and the state is likely to face another $7 billion to $8 billion decit in the 201011 scal year. Matt Fabian, a bond analyst at Municipal handful of legislators interested in oil drilling off the coast and other pet projects. Hill, who also voted in favor of the budget, said it is time to put it aside and focus on reforming government to prevent a repeat performance in future years. The immediate years to come may be among the most challenging, Simitian warned. Education, in particular, will feel the brunt of cuts and the absence of federal stimulus funds which helped cushion some of this years voids, he said. The truth is, the economy is not bouncing back as quickly as hoped and revenue continues its decline both aspects of the world turned upside down which helped lead California to this quagmire regardless of budgetary stalemates, Simitian said. Its very grim. Theres no way else to describe it, he said. Simitian found a slim silver lining in avoidCaltrain is working to reduce the volume, while making sure that the horns remain within the range established by the Federal Railroad Administration. We have to balance neighborhood concerns against the need for safety, Caltrain Deputy CEO Chuck Harvey said in a statement. It is important for people to remember that the engineers do not sound the horn graMarket Advisors, based in Concord, Mass., said Californias plan was lled with accounting tricks and will likely do little to improve the states poor credit rating. Among the questionable maneuvers in the plan, the state will accelerate income tax withholding by 10 percent to inate revenues during the year and shift state employee payroll by one day for a paper savings of $1.2 billion. The state also will sell a portion of the states workers compensation insurance business for $1 billion, which the Legislatures nonpartisan analyst doubts could be done within the scal year. Fitch Ratings rates Californias general obligation bond debt at BBB, which is still investment-grade. Most states have a higherquality AAA or AA ratings. The package lawmakers agreed to included about $15 billion in spending cuts, as well as reforms that include tougher sanctions on CalWORKS recipients who dont meet work requirements. Also, in-home support workers will have to undergo background checks and have their ngerprints taken. In earlier rounds of cuts, California reduced Medi-Cal reimbursement rates for health care providers and eliminated optional benets such as dental and eye care for adult recipients. ing the repeal of Proposition 98, which mandates minimum funding levels for education; the closure of 220 state parks and deep slices through the Healthy Families insurance plan and Cal Grants college aid. It may be a small comfort but its something, he said. Ruskin, too, focused on the positive. While no one will be happy with the outcome of the budget, we were able to prevent the suspension of Prop. 98 and the deepest cuts to schools; deeper cuts to health care for children, the elderly and the inrm; and prevent the loss of millions of federal matching funds to balance the budget, Ruskin said. Like Hill, Ruskin said change is mandatory if leaders and residents dont want to relive the tug-of-war in passing the annual budget. If we fail to reform the process, we can expect to continually encounter the same problems that led us here today, he said. Yee put his vote where his mouth was, tuitously. They sound the horn to save lives and to comply with FRA requirements. We ask for the publics patience while we attempt to adjust the horns.

With the vetoes announced Tuesday, the cut to Californias state parks totals about $14 million. Genest said that will likely force as many as 100 of the states 279 parks, beaches and attractions to close, although he cautioned that gure wasnt rm. State parks director Ruth Coleman said closures will begin after Labor Day but the state was actively seeking partners, including cities and counties, to take over some parks. She said Hearst Castle and urban beach parks would be exempt. Were not willing to give up on these parks, Coleman said. Were hoping Californians will step up in saving these parks. The additional cuts Schwarzenegger made Tuesday also include $37.5 million from the In-Home Supportive Services program, $50 million from the Early Start program to screen children for developmental disabilities, and more than $6 million in cuts from programs for the aging. For the rst time since the recession began in late 2007, the state will reduce county funding for child protection and foster care services. Under the governors cut to AIDS prevention and treatment, Genest said the state will continue to provide patients with drugs and monitor the spread of the disease. rejecting 13 bills proposing nancial amendments, policy revamps and administrative changes. Yee said he couldnt support new oil drilling off Californias coast or shifts in programs for the poor and disabled. While the budget solves an immediate and critical problem, the long-term impacts of these cuts will have dire consequences, said Yee, who called the package a goody bag of Republican principles. Yee said he was disappointed new revenue suggestions like taxes and oil severance werent put up for vote. He also expressed frustration at offshore drilling, arguing it would degrade natural resources and further hurt the economy which receives more than $50 billion from commercial fishing and tourism.

Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, a Democrat who negotiated the original budget compromise with Schwarzenegger, immediately questioned the legality of many of the governors vetoes. We will ght to restore every dollar of additional cuts to health and human services, Steinberg said in a written statement. This is not the last word. Schwarzenegger called the budget package aimed at balancing the states budget through June 30, 2010, the toughest since he took ofce in 2003. Still, the Republican governor said the package included reforms he has long sought and forces government to live within its means.

Julia Childs legacy: Beyond tools,techniques

By Holly Ramer
CONCORD, N.H. From the timesaving tools and French techniques she loved to a famously dropped dinner, Julia Child left a lasting impression on a generation of cooks. In the forthcoming biographical movie, Julie & Julia, Meryl Streep channels Americas rst celebrity chef. As the movie opens, chefs and food magazine editors remember the real Childs vast contributions to American home cooking a scholarly yet accessible approach to recipes, an enthusiasm for efciency and above all, a spirited sense of fun. At the most basic level, Child introduced home cooks to their stoves, knives, pots and pans, said chef Jacques Pepin, Childs longtime friend and collaborator. Were in a country where we have to cook very, very fast with the microwave or very, very slow with Crock Pot cooking. Then you have the regular stove thats lost in the middle, he said. He said he most remembers Childs great love
for life and the great pleasure she took in cooking as well as eating. You often see people cook and never taste. For her, it was cook, taste, cook, taste, cook, taste. With a little sip of wine on the side, he said. Chef Alice Waters of Chez Panisse said Child emphasized that cooking was important but need not be serious business. I think of her sense of humor, her joie de vivre about cooking and really about her interest in gastronomy her academic insistence on writing the recipe right, said Waters. It was curiosity and exploration and learning all folded together to make food an art. Thats what she did. And she gave novices the condence to try, added Art Smith, former personal chef to Oprah Winfrey. He made a whole meal out of blanched asparagus for his rst girlfriend after watching Child on TV. Julia Child was not only an amazing cook but taught America that it could learn to cook, said Smith. That spirit continues to this day,
Julia Child was more than just a chef. She emphasized fun in the kitchen.
and this why we have great cooking shows. Tina Ujlaki, executive food editor at Food & Wine magazine, said she often thinks of Child
when she has kitchen mishaps. I dont think, What would Julia do? I just do what she would do: Keep on going, she said. That was a really big part of the Julia liberation. Not only did she teach the techniques ... she said, Its OK. Relax. It doesnt have to be perfect. That said, there are certain processes or gadgets that Ujlaki associates with Child. I cant cut up a chicken without thinking of her and how lovingly she would cut it up, she said. And Child did not shy away from modern appliances or tools if they made cooking easier, she said. She put her blender to work on a variety of classic soups and once told Ujlaki that she even used a stand mixer to make mashed potatoes for a crowd instead of the food mill she favored for smaller amounts. She probably used more gadgets than they used in typical French cooking, she said. She was always very quick to embrace anything that made sense, but I dont think she had silly gadgets or gizmos. She didnt like clutter.

Whatever berry you got, heres how to make a pie

up slightly crunchy and sweet, the perfect contrast to soft, tart berries. ANYBERRY SUMMER PIE Start to nish: 55 minutes (10 minutes active) Servings: 8 For the lling: 3/4 cup sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch Pinch of salt 5 cups berries, fresh or frozen 1 prepared pie shell (thawed slightly if frozen) For the crumb topping: 1/2 cup rolled oats 3/4 cup all-purpose our 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Summer brings an abundance of berries that scream out to be turned into pie. But unless youre looking to quash your lazy days mojo, you need a pie recipe that gets you out of the kitchen. Fast. Hence this all-purpose berry pie that comes together in about 10 minutes. Then it can bake and cool while you chill by the pool. This recipe (which calls for a refrigerated or frozen crust) works with any berry variety, including blends. Also try adding chopped apples, pears, apricots and peaches.

Using your ngers, a pastry blender or a fork, mash and rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. Top the berries with the crumb mixture, patting it on, as necessary, to make it stay put. Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet (to catch drips) and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crumb topping is golden brown and the berries are bubbling. For clean slices, let the pie cool before slicing. Or serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Not really, says master sommelier Geoff Kruth, wine director of the Farmhouse Inn & Restaurant in Sonoma Countys Russian River Valley. The trouble with software pairings, he says, is that they only factor in the food. Just as much of the wine and food pairing is about the person thats drinking it, he says. Kruth says he looked at a few Epicurious recipes and found several recommendations for Oregon pinot noirs. Not a bad choice, but one that made him wonder about the scope of the recommendations. It seemed there were a lot of the same styles of wine that were repeated, he says. Snooth CEO Philip James says there was an effort to come up with wines that are widely available, but notes there are multiple recommendations for each dish, with some wines being more esoteric choices for the adventurous. Beyond that, he notes there was a concerted effort to base recommendations on the expertise of real-life experts. It was important for me to get across that we were not building a sentient, thinking machine. This is not the Terminator, he says. This is basically cracking open the heads of the nest food and wine critics that we could nd and basically scooping their brains out and putting them into a database. On the plus side, Kruth likes the way the system gets people talking about wine options. Things like that are exciting because they

Software sommelier brings wine advice home

SAN FRANCISCO Building it took eight months and the combined brainpower of math, code and food-and-wine geeks. The result is a new computer-generated wine pairing service that developers say uses cutting edge technology to answer an age-old question: What wine to serve with dinner? We think its going to be tremendously helpful for people, says James Oliver Cury, executive editor of food recipe site Epicurious.com, which recently partnered with wine database Snooth to add the pairing suggestions to thousands of its recipes. The recommendations are based on an algorithm that involved breaking down the recipes into hundreds of categories, including avor profiles, ingredients and preparation techniques. Among other things, the algorithm looks for words in proximity. Boiled beef with baked potatoes, for instance, is not the same as baked beef with boiled potatoes. Pairings are listed at the bottom of recipes, along with the price of the wine the majority are under $20. Clicking on photos of the bottle or label brings up reviews and shopping information. But can an algorithm replace the human touch in the very subjective decision of what wine to have with dinner?
can lead consumers to try things that they otherwise wouldnt have tried. I like that people are thinking about food and wine pairings, he says. New York-based Snooth (the name is derived from a town in James native Cornwall in the south of England) is an inter-
active database of wines with more than 500,000 monthly users. Snooth doesnt sell wine directly but provides access to a network of more than 11,000 merchants. Epicurious has more than 25,000 professionally tested recipes as well as 75,000 member-submitted dishes. Pairings will be available for the tested recipes, except for breakfasts and meals labeled as kid-friendly. A recipe for grilled chicken breasts with honeydew salsa, for instance, yielded a dozen wine recommendations, including some roses and chardonnays, as well as grenache, a red wine. The wine recommendations also have an advertising component in which companies can be showcased as the featured partner. However, Cury says such matches will always be clearly marked as ads and will be appropriate for the recipe. Although the service has been launched, Cury says improvements will continue to be made. User comments also will probably inuence adjustments. Cury concedes that trying to turn computer code into a connoisseur was daunting. Its hard enough to get wine experts to agree on what one wine or even kind of wine might pair with a particular dish. How are you going to create an automated way to do this for 25,000 recipes? Cury says. That was the challenge that Snooth with our coordination was able to meet.

Bison back on the table; now learn to cook it

By Jim Romanoff
The American bison is back, and not just on the Great Plains. Thanks to two Teds President Teddy Roosevelt and media mogul Ted Turner the bison has traveled an unlikely path from ubiquity to near extinction to rising star of culinary scene. The problem now is that Americans who last year bought 31 million pounds of bison meat, about double from ve years earlier have become so unfamiliar with the meat, most dont know how to prepare it. Bison meat is utterly delectable, similar to beef though more intense and not at all gamey, says chef John Ash, author of American Game Cooking. But because its so low in fat, bison also is easy to overcook and turn tough. At its peak, the North American bison (also called buffalo) may have numbered close to 125 million. But by 1900, they had been hunted to near extinction. The population began a slow bounce back in 1905, when Roosevelt founded the American Bison Society, the United States rst effort to save the iconic animal. Bruce Aidells, author of The Complete Meat Book, also credits Turner with helping the bisons culinary comeback. Turner owns the
Buffalo meat is said to be more intense tasting than beef,but not gamey.
worlds largest herd of bison and has sought to make the meat a part of the American menu once again. Its working. In recent years, bison has begun showing up on a growing number of restaurant menus and has become a staple at larger grocers and natural food stores. Even big box retailer Costco began carrying it in 2007. David Carter, executive director of the National Bison Association, says bison enjoys a sweet spot between interest in healthy foods, sustainable farming and a broadening American palate. For the most part, bison are pasture-raised and healthy, meaning ranchers dont need hormones and antibiotics. Its also healthy to eat. The leanest cuts have just 143 calories and 2 grams of fat per 3 1/2ounce serving, compared to 9 grams for the leanest cut of beef. The avor of bison is quite similar to beef, but perhaps a bit more intense and meaty. Carter points out that there is some variation in avor because unlike cattle, bison are still a relatively wild animal and most ranchers want to keep it that way to pre-
serve the natural quality of their product. But leanness comes with a price. While bison is interchangeable with beef in most recipes, it requires a little extra attention because the meat is so lean. Tender cuts, such as steaks, have little fat marbling the way a good beef steak does. Which means they should be cooked to no more than medium-rare or the meat will come out dry and tasteless, says Ash. On the other hand, tougher cuts, such as chuck, brisket and short ribs, need to be cooked at a low temperate for a long time in order to get tender results. Ash says that a good introduction to bison is a steak or a burger. These also are the cuts most readily available grocers. For steak, he prefers simple preparations that allow the unique avor of the meat to come through, such as a simple rub of olive oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper for steaks. Using ground bison, which usually is more than 90 percent lean, presents a slightly different challenge. A bison burger, for example, will have the best avor and texture if it is cooked to rare or mediumrare at the most. Federal guidelines recommend cooking ground beef (and bison) to at least 155 F, which amounts to medium-well to well done. But that will give you a dry
and crumbly bison burger. If you do plan to cook ground bison past medium-rare, Ash recommends adding some fattier ground beef or even pork to help keep it moist. Aidells has a similar approach. He likes to add plain yogurt and fresh breadcrumbs to his bison burgers, meatloaves and meatball blends. But if you prefer your meat well done, you can still enjoy bison, says Aidells. He feels that the tougher cuts, such as the brisket, chuck and short ribs, often are overlooked and can be the most enjoyable parts of the bison. The tougher meat has much less fat than the same cut of beef, but has substantially more collagen, which the connective tissue in the muscle. When cooked at a low temperature over a long time, this collagen eventually melts, creating fall-apart tender meat. Braising tougher cuts in a avorful liquid, says Aidells, is an excellent way to go. The rich avor of the bison meat stands up well to intense seasonings. Though ground bison and some types of steak are widely available, to get some of the other cuts you may need to ask your butcher or even order from a purveyor of specialty meats.

Soften tough bison ribs with long, slow cooking

A tough cut of meat, the short ribs become meltingly tender when cooked slowly over low heat. In this recipe, bison short ribs, which are leaner than beef, are simmered in a broth avored with Thai red curry paste, garlic, ginger, cilantro and sh sauce. Bison short ribs can be found at specialty meat markets and online. For bone-in short ribs, both Englishstyle (a single bone with a chunk of meat attached) and anken-style (thinner cut with 3 to 4 ribs per strip) will work for this recipe. Remove any silver skin the tough, silvery-looking membrane lining the meat-side of the ribs before cooking. RED CURRY BISON SHORT RIBS WITH BABY BOK CHOY Start to nish: 3 hours (45 minutes active)
Servings: 6 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons red curry paste (more or less to taste) 3 cloves garlic Three 1/8-inch-thick slices peeled fresh ginger 1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro stems plus 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves, divided 6 scallions, coarsely chopped 1/2 cup water 2 teaspoons canola oil 3 pounds bone-in bison short ribs or 2 pounds boneless, trimmed 2 cups thinly sliced red onion 1 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth 3 tablespoons sh sauce 2 tablespoons lime juice, or more to taste 3 ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced 1 cup lite coconut milk 6 baby bok choy, cut in half, or 3 regular bok choy, quartered Ground black pepper, to taste
In a blender or food processor, combine the curry paste, garlic, ginger, cilantro stems, scallions and water. Blend until they form a loose paste. Add more water if the mixture
is too dense to blend. Set aside. In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium, heat the oil. Add the ribs and brown on all sides, about 6 to 8 minutes total.
Stir in the red curry mixture, onion, broth, sh sauce and lime juice. Bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat to maintain a simmer, and cook, turning the ribs every 30 minutes, until the meat is very tender when pierced with a fork, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Transfer the ribs to a plate, then cover to keep warm. Add the tomatoes and coconut milk to the broth in the pot. Bring to a simmer. Add bok choy, then cover and cook until the thick ends of the bok choy can be easily pierced with a fork, about 10 to 20 minutes. Season with pepper and more lime juice, if desired.

Better together: What beer to drink with bison

By Victoria Brett
Bison meat is a popular healthy alternative to beef; fans say its sweeter and lighter. But what to
drink with this beast of the plains? Most buffalo is grass-fed before the animals are nished on grain, says Gourmet magazine food editor Ian Knauer. As you might expect, the flavor of the grasses comes
through in the meat. A great way to spotlight those naturally grassy avors is to pair them with a particularly grassy beer, he says. High in protein and iron, and low
in fat and calories, buffalo meat is popping up on menus as burgers, steaks, chili, even lasagna. For beers, Knauer suggests Green Flash Brewing Co.s West Coast IPA. Its so hoppy that, at rst whiff, it
reminds me of a freshly cut lawn, he says. Then chase the beer down with rye whiskey, since rye is also a grass. The chaser will only help to heighten the whole cowboy experience, says Knauer.

[The skate park] would give us another option, Spencer said. Instead of skating outside, the boys were inside the center yesterday playing Skate, a skateboarding video game. Yeh, who is a skater, called the postponement evil. Foster City teens from sixth graders to seniors in high school can register to use the center for a one-time fee of $25 and receive an identication card. Every teen who uses the facility must have an ID card so staff will be assured that every teen in the center has registered and knows the rules. The ID cards are also used to check out sports equipment, games and movies. For more information on teen events call Tiffany at 286-3395 or visit www.fostercity.org.

I just think given the state of the national economy, state economy, I dont think this is the time to spend almost a quarter of a million dollars on a skate park. In my mind, I just cant justify that expense when were looking at decit, said Vice Mayor Rick Wykoff. Mayor John Kiramis shared Wykoffs concerns. In as much as we want a skate park for our youth, we have to really start buckling down and asking ourselves, Are these things we want or are these things we need, given the current scal situation? Is this really something we need at this time. ... We wanted a place for our youth to be able to go. Now, can we afford a skate park as well? My guess is no, not now, he said. Councilwoman Pam Frisella, on the other hand, said the project has always included the skate park and money is set aside for it. Children had to wait for other projects, holding up the teen center.
Now its their turn and we voted on it to do it. It is bad economic times, but this is a totally different fund, she said acknowledging that it is a lot of money. We wanted it, the money is there and we deserve to have it, she said. The Vibe, the citys new teen center, opened this summer after years of housing the program on a trailer, a x that was meant to be temporary. Now, overlooking the lagoon, sits a large building offering pool tables, ping pong, a variety of movies and video games, which can be played using different consoles on one of three large television screens. There is foosball, air hockey
and basketball outside. A cafe offering snacks is also housed in the facility. Teens who use the facility, skaters and nonskaters alike, were saddened by the decision not to build the skate park. Twelve-year-old Cairo Spencer, who was playing video games with Chris Yeh and Anthony Valenzuela at the Vibe yesterday afternoon, does not skateboard, but still wanted the park. Without the park, many skaters take to the basketball court which is not good for the court, he explained. Also, Spencer likes riding his bike. Such a park would allow him to practice tricks. Theres nothing really to do in Foster City.
CHILD
Her kitchen tools reected her utter lack of pretense, said John Willoughby, executive editor of Gourmet magazine. If something worked well, for example, she really couldnt care less if it was traditional or not; efciency in the kitchen
was always to be embraced, he said. The food processor is a perfect example, he said. When it was rst introduced, I remember thinking that I probably should just ignore it, since chopping things by machine rather than by hand couldnt possibly be right. Then Julia endorsed it, and like hundreds of thousands of other American cooks, that convinced me to give it a try. Think of the millions of hours of chopping that she has saved by her openness to new ideas. Child had a sure, unpretentious condence in knowing who she was and what she loved, said Christopher Kimball, publisher of Cooks Illustrated magazine. She wasnt hopping around like so many food magazines doing the hot, latest thing, he said, recalling how he joined Child to watch the 2000 election returns on a small TV in an alcove off her kitchen. It was just about the food and the com-
pany, he said. Its all about the whisk for Lucinda Scala Quinn, editorial director of food at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Quinn cooked her way through Childs Mastering the Art of French Cooking as a teenager, discovering the many uses for whipped egg whites and cream, from meringue to Swiss buttercream to butter. The alchemy of it all and the magical transformational possibilities of that one tool, the whisk, ... has never ceased to amaze me, she said. Tanya Steel became a fan of Childs at an even younger age, after declaring at age 8 that she would not spend the rest of her life eating her mothers awful cooking. I literally learned every single thing from Julia Child, said Steel, editor-in-chief of epicurious.com, the online home for Gourmet and Bon Appetit magazines.

Conflicting portrait of terror suspect RACE

By Mike Baker
RALEIGH, N.C. Daniel Boyd may have spent the past three years traveling to the Middle East, secretly buying guns and training for jihad with a group of aspiring terrorists as federal authorities claim, but people on his cul-de-sac said Tuesday he also made plenty of time to be a good neighbor. The 39-year-old drywall contractor and his wife were family oriented, always quick to help with gardens and treehouses and raised well-mannered kids, neighbors said a day after the FBI arrested Boyd and six others, accusing the men of planning to kidnap, kill and maim people abroad. If hes a terrorist, hes the nicest terrorist I ever met in my life. I dont think he is, said Charles Casale, 46, a neighbor in Willow Spring who recently got pointers on planting vegetables from the Boyds. Federal investigators said Boyd
was the ringleader of a small North Carolinabased terrorist group, involved in three years of nefarious international travel, gun buys and Daniel Boyd military-style training trips. Authorities claim the group, including an eighth suspect believed to be in Pakistan, were gearing up for a violent jihad, though prosecutors havent detailed any specic targets or timeframe. Prosecutors said Boyd received terrorist training in Pakistan and brought the teachings back to North Carolina, where over the past three years he recruited followers willing to die as martyrs waging jihad the Arabic word for holy war. Frustrated by Raleigh-area mosques that were too moderate, Boyd started breaking away this year abundance. Were trying to make sure we are prepared for the future in light of the state budget debacle and its takeaways, Koelling said. The council intends to review the budget quarterly instead of every six months, Koelling said, to help anticipate how the budget will go over the next three to four years. Consolidating departments and contracting out for services are both being considered to help balance future budgets, Koelling said. Koelling cautions, though, the city is in the very early stages of looking at essential services and nothing is set in stone. Foster City currently has a $19 million reserve but that number is expected to decrease to $13 million by 2014, said Vice Mayor Rick Wykoff. His group would rather wait until 2012 to build more support for a ballot initiative but would be happy with an earlier victory, he said. Pro-legalization advocates were emboldened earlier this year by a Field Poll that found 56 percent of California voters supported legalizing and taxing marijuana. A similar but less restrictive pot legalization initiative was led two weeks ago by a group of Northern California criminal defense lawyers. The Tax, Regulate and Control Cannabis Act of 2010 would set no specic limits on the amount of pot adults could possess or grow for personal use. The measure would
to hold prayers in his home, prosecutors said. In the last two months, he took two group members to private property in north-central North Carolina to practice military tactics and use weapons. Its clear from the indictment that the overt acts in the conspiracy were escalating, U.S. Attorney George E.B. Holding said. At his home, though, Boyds neighbors and family defended him. Boyds wife, Sabrina, vowed that he was part of an ordinary family and urged the public not to rush to judgment. Boyds sons Zakariya, 20, and Dylan, 22, were also named in the indictment. We have the right to justice, and we believe that justice will prevail, she said in a statement. We are decent people who care about other human beings. A friend and neighbor, 20-year-old Jeremy Kuhn, said the family seemed closer and more loving than any of the other nearby households. Were trying to get to 2014 with a balanced budget and a healthy reserve, Wykoff said. The July 4 celebration, an event that costs the city about $55,000 annually, is not an essential service but rather a desirable service, Wykoff said. Cable television service costs the city about $400,000 annually but Wykoff thinks that number can shrink to $200,000 if original productions are cut out. We want to leave personnel out of it, Wykoff said. Departments can start looking at cutting 5 percent to 10 percent from its supplies costs. The city is looking at some potential nancial setbacks, Kiramis said, including rising retirement costs and declining property and sales tax revenue. repeal all local and state marijuana laws and clear the criminal record of anyone convicted of a pot-related offense. Both ballot measures would be competing with a bill introduced by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano to tax and regulate marijuana like alcohol. The San Francisco Democrat is pushing legalization as a way to generate revenue for the cashstarved state from Californias massive marijuana industry. He plans to hold hearings on the legislation this fall. Ammiano said his bill and the ballot initiatives are all part of a perfect storm that will lead to
If it turns out they were terrorists, I will be the most shocked person in the world, he said. I think they have seven innocent people sitting in jail waiting to have their lives ruined. The other four men arrested range in age from 21 to 33. Only one is not a U.S. citizen, but he is a legal resident. An attorney who met with one of the defendants, Ziyad Yaghi, 21, said Yaghi was disappointed. Our concern is that people are rushing to a judgment and theres no evidence that anyones been shown, attorney Robert Nunley said. Public defenders assigned to Boyd did not return messages seeking comment, and there were no attorneys for the other men listed in court records. If convicted of providing material support to terrorism and conspiracy to murder, kidnap, maim and injure persons abroad, the men could face life in prison. They are expected to appear in court Thursday for a detention hearing. Hopefully, the economy will recover but we cant make assumptions, Kiramis said. We want to anticipate problems and make decisions early on so the impact to Foster City wont be as serious as in surrounding cities. However, Councilwoman Pam Frisella said determining what services are considered essential depends on who you talk to. Public safety is essential but so are parks, Frisella said. Essential to whom is the question to ask. The city will have many of its employees retire in coming years and those positions can always be frozen, Frisella said.
SERVICES
Im not sure the budget process in Sacramento is going to get better, Councilman Art Kiesel said. We are asking our department heads to prioritize their programs and projects to help out the council if the state continues to collapse. The trouble is, not all councilmembers agree on what services in the city are essential outside of public safety and infrastructure. Councilwoman Linda Koelling notes that large companies who do business in Foster City like its employees and their families to have access to recreational amenities, of which Foster City has an

Vasquez faced up to six months in jail when he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor child endangerment. Instead, he received the lesser term alongside standard fees and nes. In return for his plea, prosecutors also reduced the counts to misdemeanors from felonies and dismissed a third. In comparison, he faced approximately eight and a half years in prison if convicted by a jury. Vasquez has no prior convictions in San Mateo County, according to court records.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 2009

In the year ahead, youll finally get a chance to put together a long-contemplated venture that is both practical and worthwhile. What makes it so interesting? If it works, it could be hugely profitable.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be on your toes, and you may discover a wonderful and profitable opportunity others have been treating indifferently. When you hear what it is, youll instantly know how to make it work.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Find some time to have fun and enjoy yourself, but only after you have completed all serious assignments. You wont be able to relax with neglected matters on your mind. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It might not be too smart to make a decision without first discussing things with someone you respect and trust. Talk through serious matters with an experienced pal. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Because youre willing to work
hard -- not just for yourself but for everyone depending on you -- your efforts will have excellent chances of a material reward.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Keep an open mind, and think things through carefully. By doing so, a satisfactory solution can be found to a dilemma that has stymied you and everyone else. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If your expectations are reasonable and not outlandish, your financial aspects look excellent. Nothing will be handed on a silver platter, but you should find a way to add to your holdings.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You could hear from a dear

friend you havent seen in quite a while. Find a way to get together -- the catching up could prove to be quite significant in more ways than one.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you uphold a promise you made to someone who is depending on you, regardless of how much the inconvenience, your actions will enhance your image in bigger ways than you can image. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Frivolous pursuits may be quite enjoyable at the moment, but if they are done at the expense of work responsibilities, they wont prove to be fulfilling. Be productive first. Play later. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Take advantage of those
moments when conditions are ripe to have that serious, longawaited conversation with a friend. Youll feel so much better having gotten things off your chest. Copyright 2009, Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Keep to yourself anything significant you want to accomplish; the less people who know what youre doing, the less interference youll have. Youll be more effective on your own. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you are in need of
advice, talk things over with a close friend who always offers

Zelaya, who earlier complained that international efforts to restore him were agging, said the decision was correct and urged even tougher measures. had ordered an investigations and called for increased security measures for banks. Authorities were particularly alarmed that the two robberies this week occurred in the bustling commercial district of Karradah, a mainly Shiite area that houses many prominent people. The gunmen broke into the state-run Radain Bank at about 4 a.m., killing three on-duty guards and ve others on the premises who were either on a break or asleep, according to Iraqi police. They seized 8 billion Iraqi Dinars ($6.9 million), the Interior Ministry said.

US revokes visas of 4 Honduran ofcials
OCOTAL, Nicaragua The U.S. government said Tuesday it has revoked the diplomatic visas of four Honduran ofcials, stepping up pressure on coup-installed leaders who insist they can resist international demands to restore the ousted president. The U.S. State Department did not name the four, but a Honduran ofcial said they included the Supreme Court magistrate who ordered the arrest of ousted President Manuel Zelaya and the president of Honduras Congress. The State Department is also reviewing the visas of all ofcials serving under interim President Roberto Micheletti, department spokesman Ian Kelly said. Michelettis Deputy Foreign Minister Marta Lorena Alvarado said Supreme Court Justice Tomas Arita and Congressional President Jose Alfredo Saavedro were among those whose visas removed. Arita signed the order for Zelayas arrest several days before soldiers whisked him out of the country on June 28. Alvarado insisted the decision would not have major consequences for Michelettis govern-
Gunmen kill 8 in Baghdad bank robbery, police say

BAGHDAD Gunmen killed eight security guards and made off with nearly $7 million during a brazen bank robbery Tuesday in central Baghdad in the second such assault in a week. While overall violence is down in Iraq, ordinary crime has emerged as an increasing threat to the countrys stability. Police said the robberies appeared to be the work of militants seeking money for operations after their funding was severely curtailed in U.S.-Iraqi military crackdowns. The retaliatory sectarian violence that pushed Iraq to the brink of civil war has declined dramatically over the past two years. But armed robberies targeting jewelry stores, currency exchanges and pawn shops appear to be on the rise. Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani said he

They said they want to hold him, perhaps for several more weeks, at the naval detention center while they conduct a criminal investigation, which could mean he would eventually be brought to the United States for trial. There was no immediate indication the government would change that position in response to the judges order.
US, China pledge closer cooperation

WASHINGTON The United States and China on Tuesday pledged closer cooperation to deal with global hot spots such as Iran and the worst nancial crisis since the 1930s. While Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner sought to portray the two days of high-level talks as a positive development in U.S.-China relations, the list of accomplishments on the economics side basically reafrmed steps both nations have already taken to deal with the nancial crisis. On foreign policy, there were no apparent breakthroughs although the countries pledged closer cooperation in dealing with the nuclear ambitions of North Korea and Iran.
Afghanistan said ready to pick up Gitmo detainee

WASHINGTON Attorneys for a young Guantanamo Bay detainee being considered for prosecution in the United States said Tuesday that the government has no authority to continue holding him in Cuba and Afghanistan is ready to pick him up. A federal judge who recently described the governments case as an outrage ordered U.S. ofcials to come back within one day to propose a resolution for Mohammed Jawad. Jawad has been detained at Guantanamo Bay for nearly seven years after being accused of

Iran silent on U.S.outreach

People in the news

Agents search Vegas home, office of Jackson doctor
LAS VEGAS Federal agents searched the home and ofce of Michael Jacksons personal physician Tuesday in a widening investigation of whether administering a powerful anesthetic as a sleep aid was so reckless that it constitutes manslaughter. Such charges against a doctor for the death of a patient are extremely rare. Dr.Conrad Authorities would have to show there was a reckless Murray action creating a risk of death.
TEHRAN, Iran The U.S. is hearing only silence from Iran on its offers of dialogue. Irans leaders, who initially seemed to welcome engagement, are turning inward to deal with the post-election crisis. If Irans rulers mention the West at all these days, its to tell Iranians the U.S. and its allies are behind the turmoil. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his hard-line allies have repeatedly blasted the West, saying it is trying to topple clerical rule by fueling the opposition protests that erupted in the wake of the disputed June 12 presidential election. Still, rhetoric for a domestic audience, no matter how heated, is not a no to American diplomatic feelers.
Too much is in ux to answer the two main questions: Whether Khamenei and the rest of the leadership even want a dialogue and, if they do, whether they are in a position to pursue it. Much depends on how Ayatollah Ali secure they feel in their confrontation with the Khamenei opposition, which has posed the biggest challenge in decades to clerical rule by calling President Mahmoud Ahmadinejads election victory illegitimate. The Iranian leaders may actually make an attempt toward a certain level of normalization with the West in order to legitimize them-
selves with Iranians who want to ease tensions with the United States, said Rasool Nasi, a Washington-based academic and Iran expert. Equally, he said, in order to show self-condence, and prove that business is as usual, the leaders may refrain from any behavior that suggests a change in their attitude against the world arrogance the hard-liners term for the United States. President Barack Obamas administration says it wont wait forever for the Iranians to make up their minds. Washington has set a vague deadline of this fall for Iran to respond. The central dispute for the West is Irans nuclear program, which the United States and its allies contend is secretly aimed at building a nuclear weapon. Tehran denies that, saying it aims only to generate electricity.
Fox commentator Glenn Beck: President Obama is a racist

NEW YORK Fox News Channel commentator Glenn Beck said he believes President Barack Obama is a racist. Beck made the statement during a guest appearance Tuesday on the Fox & Friends morning show. He said Obama has exposed himself as a person with a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture. His remarks came during a discussion of Obamas reaction to the Glenn Beck arrest of Harvard University scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. Gates is black and was arrested for disorderly conduct by a white policeman over a misunderstanding about a break-in at Gates home. An Obama spokesman, William Burton, said
U.S.general:Iran working to influence Iraq vote

By Anne Gearan
BAGHDAD The top U.S. commander in Iraq said Tuesday that Iran is still training and equipping Iraqi insurgents but is shifting its focus to inuence the upcoming Iraqi elections and exerting soft power over its majorityShiite neighbor. Iranian meddling is more targeted now than it has ever been, Gen. Ray Odierno said following meetings with visiting U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates. They are focused on their attempt to inuence the national elections that will come up. They will be very focused on trying to support a government that will be
Gen.Ray Odierno
more friendly to Iran. Gates was getting a rsthand look at U.S.-Iraqi cooperation following formal handover of control of Iraqi cities to Iraqi security forces. He met with Iraqs Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki in Baghdad over Iraqi requests for more military hardware, including state of the art ghter
jets. The timetable for withdrawal of approximately 130,000 U.S. forces is keyed to the national election calendar, with most combat forces
remaining through August 2010. Odierno said he believed the Iranians have done a reassessment, following Iraqi adoption of a security pact with the United States late last year. Iran opposed the pact, which would leave U.S. forces in Iraq through 2011, and urged Iraqis to refuse it as a point of national honor. Gates expressed satisfaction with the pace of U.S. disengagement. Gen. Odierno and I are condent the Iraqi forces are up to the task of securing these urban areas and soon their entire nation, but we stand ready to assist if called upon, he said. Gates sidestepped questions about whether American forces might stay beyond their 2012 departure deadline.
