DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Locally, 13.4 percent of students dropped out of high school compared to the California average of 18 percent, according to a statewide report released by the California Department of Education Thursday. Nearly three out of four students who started high school in 2006 graduated in 2010, a four-year study that shows an 18.2 percent dropout rate. Graduation rates statewide were at 74.4 percent for the class of 2009-10, according to information collected over four years in the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System. San Mateo County fared better with a 13.4 percent dropout rate and an 81.1 percent graduation rate. Since this is the rst time data was collected for a single group of students over four years, the information will be used as a benchmark in the years to come. Graduation and dropout rates do

Jarom Vahai served in the Marine Corps for nine years, including two tours in Iraq. Now a veteran living in San Bruno, Vahai says he is still ghting wars. The economy is as bad an enemy as terrorism, said Vahai, who has

dedicated himself to getting veterans jobs with local green technology companies. This is my personal war against the enemies of our country. The 33-year-old electrical engineering student of Skyline College was awarded Veteran of the Year by Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo. The award highlighted his

efforts to get veterans employed at Tesla, an electric car company, and for developing an electric car tech course curriculum for Skyline College for fall 2012. Vahai said many veterans are unemployed partly because they are holding out for worthwhile, stable careers.

Strange but True


Cops:Woman let niece, 6, drive from snug spot
BEAVER, Pa. Police say a Pennsylvania woman endangered her 6year-old niece by having the girl back the womans car out of a tight parking spot, wrecking two other cars in the process. Fifty-ve-year-old Rebecca Beatty, of Aliquippa, and her attorney have not returned calls on the charges she waived to Beaver County Court on Tuesday. Police charged Beatty in June after she picked up her niece from a dance program at Ambridge Area High School. The Beaver County Times reports Wednesday that Beatty found another car parked so close that she couldnt get in her vehicle. Police say thats when she had her niece back the car out. Police say the child hit a parked car, pushing it over a curb until it hit another car parked on the street. hands. With this, you soil your place of work ... and threaten the health of your co-workers. A woman answering the Belvedere press department phone conrmed that Zoppelt was red but refused to give her name or further information. Believers in urine therapy claim medical and cosmetic benets but these have not been proven. It seems to be all gone, she said. But if theyre microscopic eggs, whos to say theyre not still in the river? Scientists also dont know why the unidentied eggs suddenly emerged on the shores of Kivalina last week. Villagers say theyve never seen such a phenomenon before. Well probably nd some clues, but well likely never have a definitive answer on that, NOAA spokeswoman Julie Speegle said. Samples are being sent to a NOAA laboratory in Charleston, S.C., for further analysis. The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation also sent samples Monday to the Institute for Marine Science at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Kivalina residents live largely off the land, and many are worried about the effect on some wildlife and plants from the goo, which turned powdery once it dried - and probably went airborne. Mitchell said some people went berry picking over the weekend, but couldnt tell if the goo was on the fruit, called salmonberries, which are the same color of the eggs. The caribou are in the region now, but she doesnt believe the migrating animals pose much risk as a food source. The eggs were found on at least one roof and in buckets set all over the village to collect rain water. City Councilwoman Frances Douglas said the gooey, slimy substance was widely spread in streaks along the Wulik River and the lagoon, which is a half mile wide and six miles long.

Orange goo near remote Alaska village IDd as eggs


ANCHORAGE, Alaska Scientists have identied an orange-colored gunk that appeared along the shore of a remote Alaska village as millions of microscopic eggs lled with fatty droplets. But the mystery is not quite solved. Ofcials with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Monday they dont know for sure what species the eggs are, although they believe they are some kind of crustacean eggs or embryos. They also dont know if the eggs are toxic, and that worries many of the 374 residents of Kivalina, an Inupiat Eskimo community located at the tip of an 8-mile barrier reef on Alaskas northwest coast. Theres been at least one report of dead minnows found in the lagoon of the village the night the eggs appeared last week. Residents also are worried about the communitys dwindling reserves in village water tanks even though the orange mass has dissipated from the lagoon and Wulik River, said city administrator Janet Mitchell.

Gonna catch me a rabbit
Two men who were seen setting up more than 20 traps were suspected of commercial trapping at the intersection of Redwood Shore Parkway and Radio Road in Redwood City before 8:18 pm. Wednesday, Aug. 10. Youshock previously attended Hillsdale but left in his sophomore year. He spent months plotting to kill three former teachers including chemistry teacher Meghan Spalding, who he blamed for ruining his life by pushing school work and participation. Alexander He also created both a Youshock manifesto and videos outlining his plan and purchased explosive materials online, a chain saw at Home Depot and other accessories. The documents and video clips of his making and testing the bombs were discovered hidden in his San Mateo bedroom after his arrest. That morning, Youshock, then 17, convinced his mother to drop him at a park near the school under the guise of making a movie with a friend. Instead, he headed to campus carrying the chain saw in a soft guitar case, a tactical vest outfitted with 10 homemade pipe bombs, a 10-inch sword and other accouterments like a face shield to protect him from blood splatter and four door stops to keep teachers from locking classes inside. Youshock was unable to start the chain saw and exploded two bombs that injured no one before being tackled by a teacher and held until police arrived. During trial, McDougall argued Youshocks schizophrenia kept him from understanding his actions. Guidotti asked jurors to consider how Youshock, if so psychotic at the time, was able to prepare and carry out his plan. She said he was lucid before, during and after the crimes which doesnt fit the disorganized thinking associated with schizophrenia. She also pointed to his deliberate lies to his mother so she would buy him chemicals he claimed was for bottle rocket engines. The jury convicted Youshock of six felonies related to the attack premeditating and trying to murder his former chemistry teacher, Meghan Spalding; two counts of exploding a destructive device with intent to commit murder; possessing a destructive device in a public place; using explosives in an act of terrorism and possessing a deadly weapon. The jury hung 9 to 3 on a charge he attempted to murder a campus security aide and found untrue that he used the chain saw as a deadly weapon. As of May, Youshock already had credit for more than 600 days served while awaiting trial without bail.

Teen bomber finally hospitalized


By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The teen convicted of trying to kill a Hillsdale High School chemistry teacher during a campus massacre with homemade pipe bombs and a chain saw was not sent to Napa State Hospital after prosecutors agreed he is insane because a judge did not order a required placement report. Instead, Alexander Robert Youshock, 19, has remained at the Maguire Correctional Facility for the last three months rather than be treated for his schizophrenia and any other mental disorders at the state hospital. On Thursday, Judge Mark Forcum rectified the situation by receiving the doctors report that clears the way for Youshocks transfer, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti. He will be delivered immediately and waived his right to appear at a Sept. 21 hearing to determine the status of the $136,427 restitution he was ordered to pay the San Mateo Union High School District, Guidotti said. In March, a jury convicted Youshock of six felonies, including attempted murder, related to the Aug. 24, 2009 vengeance plot but later deadlocked 11 to 1 over questions of his sanity. In May, both sides agreed to forgo another trial with a compromise in which Youshock pleaded no contest to a second attempted murder count on which the jury had hung. The prosecution agreed to Youshocks insanity on one charge of exploding a destructive device with intent to commit murder. The end result means Youshock will be committed to the mental hospital, possibly for the rest of his life, but will be immediately sent to prison for 24 years and eight months if he is ever found sane. Judge Stephen Hall should have ordered a placement report at the sentencing hearing but he and the attorneys thought it was better to expedite transfer rather than wait roughly six weeks for its completion, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. However, Napa authorities alerted San Mateo County it would not accept Youshock without the document. A placement report describes the defendant, his problem and how it would be addressed to help hospital staff determine the best treatment, Wagstaffe said. Experts called by both Guidotti and defense attorney Jonathan McDougall agreed Youshock is likely schizophrenic but were divided on whether the disease kept him from understanding that what he planned and carried out was both illegal and wrong by generally accepted social standards.

Prolific burglar nabbed again


South San Francisco man jailed for similar crimes in May
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

CITY GOVERNMENT
On Tuesday, the San Bruno City Council voted to keep its Redevelopment Agency. Recent laws about redevelopment agencies are forcing local cities to choose between dissolving or agreeing to make a large payment to the county and local schools. San Bruno chose the latter. Under Assembly Bill X1 27, the option San Bruno is considering, the Redevelopment Agency would agree to make large payments to the county and schools but can use the remaining funds to continue working. San Bruno is estimating being required to make a $3.15 million payment in this scal year and substantially smaller payments in subsequent years, Community Development Director Aaron Aknin wrote in a staff report.

A 21-year-old South San Francisco man has been arrested for a third time for his part in a burglary spree that has plagued Belmont residents for nearly 18 months. Travis Castellanos and 20-year-old accomplice Jenna Montani, from San Mateo, were arrested Wednesday night by Belmont and San Mateo police and were found with dozens of stolen items taken mostly from parked cars, according to police. Castellanos was also arrested back in May with a 19-year-old Pacica woman after leading Belmont police on a chase that ended in an accident in San Carlos. After the arrest in May, police also uncovered more than 100 stolen items linked to four victims in Belmont and six victims from other cities including San Mateo, Hillsborough and Redwood City. Property from a Novato theft was also

recovered in May, according to police. The Pacica woman, Danielle Renee Gonzalez Lateur, is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 17 in San Mateo County Superior Court. Castellanos was first arrested in Belmont back in March 2010, Belmont police Capt. Dan DeSmidt said. Castellanos would target mostly unlocked cars and moved quickly from one neighborhood to another, mostly in neighborhoods west of El Camino Real, DeSmidt said. He turned the items into quick cash, DeSmidt said. Wednesday night, cellphones, gift cards, personal electronics, purses, wallets, backpacks and check books were recovered after Castellanos and Montani were arrested, according to police. Also discovered were ashlights and gloves. Victims are being called to identify the stolen property. The San Mateo County District Attorneys Ofce charged Castellanos in

May with possession of stolen property, theft with prior convictions, grand theft, being under the inuence of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance. He was recently released from jail in another county, however, and should have been held after that in San Mateo County, prosecutors said yesterday. The District Attorneys Ofce was unsure why Castellanos was not returned to jail here and allowed back out onto the streets to commit more crimes. He was arraigned in San Mateo County just yesterday for the May crimes and faces an arraignment today for his most recent arrest, prosecutors said. The investigation is ongoing and police believe that Castellanos may be responsible for hundreds of thefts up and down the Peninsula. Belmont police will coordinate with other agencies in the area to see if Castellanos and his accomplices may have been responsible for more thefts. The suspect quickly drove off when the witness yelled at him, according to the Sheriffs Ofce. He was described as a white man in his late 30s to early 40s. He had brown hair and a light brown mustache.

Brown to seek changes to fire fee


By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Local briefs
San Bruno residents to remember eight killed in blast
SAN BRUNO Residents of a San Francisco suburb ravaged by a deadly gas pipeline blast are planning a remembrance ceremony to mark the explosions one-year anniversary. San Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane says the city will remember the eight people killed in the ery explosion on Sept. 9 a few minutes before the one-year milestone passes. Two days later, on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, survivors and community members will come together for a reunion in a nearby park. Ruane says the events will serve as therapy for the community, which is still recovering from the blast that also destroyed 38 homes and injured dozens. The National Transportation Safety Board is expected to release a nal report detailing what caused the blast on Aug. 30.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Browns administration plans to seek changes to x problems with a contentious wildre fee on rural residents because it could end up draining money from the states reghting budget, a spokesman said Thursday. The move by Brown came about a month after the fee was approved as part of the new state budget. It had been intended to provide money for the California Department of Forestry and F i r e

Protection to battle wildres and to replace money the state took from the department to help balance its budget. However, the Associated Press reported Wednesday that money from the $150 annual fee must go to local re-prevention programs. Using the money for prevention rather than bolstering the department budget could leave it with a $50 million budget hole next year and a gap of up to $200 million in future years. H.D. Palmer, spokesman for the governors Department of Finance, said Brown will seek to amend the law when the Legislature returns from its summer recess next week. Republican lawmakers and local re ofcials said the law was poorly written and should be changed or repealed. They said it unfairly taxes rural residents twice for re protection because many of them already support local districts. John Vigna, a spokesman for Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, said lawmakers are consulting with the administration and hope to x the problems when they return to the state Capitol for the nal four weeks of their legislative session. We knew there that would be some cleanup required, Vigna said. We felt at the time that it was more important to get the budget done on time and have the new spending plan in place by the beginning of the scal year. The problems surfaced publicly Wednesday as the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection told its executive officer to begin

drafting emergency regulations to implement the fee. The board plans to consider adopting the rules at an Aug. 22 meeting so state tax collectors can begin seeking the money from owners of about 850,000 properties statewide after Jan. 1. GOP lawmakers and anti-tax groups contend the fee was enacted illegally because Democrats approved it on majority vote rather than the two-thirds vote required for tax increases. Brown cited problems with the bill when he signed it into law last month, suggesting then that lawmakers needed to make some changes. Alicia Trost, spokeswoman for Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, DSacramento, said lawmakers will do what they must to pay for state reghting efforts. But she said the Senates budget experts do not believe changes are needed because the department should be able to use the prevention fee money for its own budget. We dont see a problem with it because the way we dened prevention is so broad that the department should be able to absorb the money that we took from them, she said. If there need to be xes, we will do the x. We feel right now theres not a problem. Thats a broader interpretation than is being adopted by the state re board or the administration, said Daniel Berlant, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The departments reading of the law would leave it short of money to ght blazes, he said. Republican lawmakers blamed majority Democrats for passing the bill as part of the budget in June without doing enough homework.

Lawyer:Jeopardy! burglary suspect a prostitute


SAN FRANCISCO The lawyer for a San Francisco woman charged with breaking into the hotel room of Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek says his client is a prostitute, not a thief. Attorney Mark Jacobs says his client, 56year-old Lucinda Moyers, is a prostitute and was in a downtown San Francisco hotel to meet a john on July 26. Prosecutors say Moyers stole $650, a bracelet and other items from a hotel room where Trebek was staying with his wife. The cash and bracelet were not recovered.

Teen dies after falling on Yosemite hiking trail
FRESNO A teenage boy has died of head injuries ve days after falling on Yosemite National Parks most popular hiking trail. The Stanislaus County coroner says 17year-old Kao Kue of Fresno died at a Modesto hospital Wednesday night. According to park spokeswoman Kari Cobb, the teen was hiking the Mist Trail when he slipped. The trail runs alongside Vernal Fall, and signs warn hikers that mist from the fall can make the trail slippery. Cobb declined to discuss details of Kues fall because he was a minor. In May, a Texas man drowned in the Merced River when he slipped from the Mist Trail. So far, 14 people have died this year inside Yosemite, a modern-day record. Kue is not included in that count because he died outside of the park.

Carjacker imprisoned for cabbie holdup


DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

One of two men who held up a taxi driver at the request of a fellow cabbie was immediately sentenced yesterday to four years in prison after pleading no contest to carjacking and possessing a deadly weapon. Prosecutors sought six years in prison for Rajinder Kumar, 26, but he received a fouryear term under the deal offered by the court. He must also pay restitution in an amount to be determined and receives a criminal strike on his record. Kumar was the last of three men who settled his case rather than stand trial. Authorities say Raj Singh, 30, orchestrated

the Aug. 31, 2010 plan in which Kumar and Balraj Singh, 49, called the cab drivers cellphone several times to arrange a late pickup at the British Bankers Club. The driver later reported that they directed him to Daly City Rajinder Kumar but first stopped at a Redwood City apartment complex where they went inside momentarily. Back in the cab, the driver said he was told to use surface streets in Millbrae to reach San Bruno. At one point, one of the passengers reportedly drew a handgun and ordered the

driver to the back seat where he was held with the weapon to his head while the other passenger drove the cab. After the back-seat passenger took the cab drivers cellphone and wallet, they warned him not to move for 15 minutes and left, the driver reported. The driver later reported hearing the man walk to another car and drive off. Raj Singh is the man who picked them up and set up the crime, according to prosecutors. The three defendants were tracked by the calls made to the drivers cellphone and between each other. The two Singhs received three years in prison after pleading no contest to rst-degree robbery.

The man found mentally unable to stand trial for allegedly murdering a well-known East Palo Alto activist at a San Mateo shopping center last summer was formally ordered yesterday sent to a state mental hospital. Gregory Leon Elarms, 58, will be transferred to Napa State Hospital for treatment rather than stand trial for the murder of David Lewis, in a case that was eligible for consideration of the death penalty. While there, doctors have the right to forcibly medicate Elarms if necessary, a judge ruled last month. If Elarms is ever deemed competent, he will return to San Mateo County for prosecution. Competency is a defendants ability to aid in his or her own defense. Elarms, of the East Bay city of Pittsburg, is accused of following Lewis, 54, from the San Mateo Medical Center where he was an outreach worker to the parking lot of Hillsdale Shopping Center on June 9, 2010. Just before 6 p.m., Elarms allegedly pulled a .44-caliber gun and shot Lewis in the torso. During a preliminary hearing on the murder

and gun charges, a San Mateo police detective testied that Elarms believed gangmembers were after him and that Lewis, once his friend, was now his opponent. The two men knew each other as teens in East Palo Alto. Lewis uttered the name Greg Gregory Elarms before dying but police made no arrests until contacted by Elarms six months after the shooting. Elarms rst said he needed protection from Lewis killers but later admitted to killing him. Elarms has an extensive criminal history dating back to 1969, but the majority are crimes like attempted robbery and for drugs in the mid-1980s. He has been in custody without bail since his arrest. Lewis co-founded Free at Last, a 15-yearold East Palo Alto-based nonprot agency that provides services for recovering drug addicts, after struggles with addiction himself. Lewis went to San Quentin State Prison at age 19 and, after 15 years, returned to East Palo Alto.

SACRAMENTO The California Supreme Court announced Thursday that it will hear a challenge by community redevelopment agencies, which are trying to strike down a provision of the state budget that threatens to put them out of existence. The court announced it will decide by midJanuary whether the state can eliminate about 400 redevelopment agencies throughout California unless they agree to give up a portion of their property tax revenue. The court action prevents the state from moving ahead on its plan until the case is resolved. If the justices side with redevelopment agencies, it would spell more budget

headaches for the state because the Legislature and Gov. Jerry Brown are relying on the plan to help save the state $1.7 billion in the current scal year. Were condent the state Supreme Court will ultimately strike down this unconstitutional legislation that ignores the voters will and that will destroy local economies, Chris McKenzie, executive director of the League of California Cities, said in a statement. The justices are likely to hear arguments after the Oct. 7 deadline for the last legal briefs. H.D. Palmer, a spokesman for the Brown administration, said the order should not affect the state budget because the rst voluntary payment is not due from redevelopment agencies until Jan. 15.

Contact lost with hypersonic glider


By John Antczak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES An unmanned hypersonic glider developed for U.S. defense research into super-fast global strike capability was launched atop a rocket early Thursday but contact was lost after the experimental craft began ying on its own, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency said. The problem occurred during the critical point of transition to aerodynamic flight, DARPA said in a statement that described the mission as an attempt to y the fastest aircraft ever built. More than nine minutes of data was collected before an anomaly caused loss of signal, it said. Initial indications are that the aircraft impacted the Pacic Ocean along the planned ight path. The 7:45 a.m. launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base, 130 miles northwest of Los Angeles, was the second of two planned ights of a Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle-2. Contact was also lost during the rst mission. Shaped like the tip of a spear, the small craft is part of a U.S. military initiative to develop technology to respond to threats at 20 times the speed of sound or greater, reaching any part of the globe in an hour. The HTV-2 is designed to be launched to the edge of space, separate from its booster and maneuver through the atmosphere at 13,000

mph before intentionally crashing into the ocean. Defense analyst John Pike of Globalsecurity.org wasnt surprised with the latest failure because the hypersonic test ight program is still in its infancy. At this early stage of the game, if they did not experience failures, its because theyre not trying very hard, he said. Pike said its possible for engineers to still glean useful information about what worked and what didnt, despite the ight ending prematurely. The key is to analyze what happened in the nal ve seconds before contact was lost. DARPA used Twitter to announce the launch and status of the ight.

Surrogacy scandal raising question about regulation


By Julie Watson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

They savor pizza and burgers, no longer frighten children, and many of them can walk the streets without people knowing they have someone elses cheeks, nose, lips and skin. People who have had face transplants increasingly are going public, helping to transform an operation that six years ago was daredevil theory into one that is widely accepted. At least 18 face transplants have been done around the world, starting with a French woman mauled by her dog in November 2005, said Dr. Maria Siemionow, at Cleveland Clinic. She did the rst face transplant in the U.S. in December 2008. Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston has done three this year alone. The U.S. Department of Defense is providing money for more of these surgeries in Cleveland and Boston in hopes of helping soldiers disgured in battle. The University of Pittsburgh plans to offer face transplantation soon.

It isnt mainstream yet. Its a last resort surgery, said Michael Cunningham, a psychologist at the University of Louisville, a pioneer in hand transplantation. But the face transplant experience so far shows that there were a lot of naysayers and worries that just didnt seem to come to pass, he said. On Thursday, the Boston hospital released a photo taken last month of Charla Nash, a Connecticut woman mauled by a chimpanzee. She had a face transplant in May. I will now be able to do things I once took for granted, Nash said in a statement. I will be able to smell. I will be able to eat normally. I will no longer be disgured. I will have lips and will speak clearly once again. I will be able to kiss and hug loved ones. I am tremendously grateful to the donor and her family. Not all face transplant recipients have recovered hoped-for capabilities yet, and some have less than stellar aesthetic results although they are all vastly improved from how they looked before.

SAN DIEGO She built a name for herself as a highly skilled reproductive law specialist in a state considered the nations hub for surrogate pregnancies with its wellestablished network of sperm banks, fertility clinics and social workers. But prosecutors say Theresa Erickson was actually working the system to become an international baby broker, running a birthing factory out of the Ukraine that duped at least a dozen American couples

into paying $150,000 for children they thought were being adopted legally. Details about the ring surfaced in federal court in San Diego in recent days after Erickson pleaded guilty to fraud charges in a case that prosecutors say highlights the need for more protection for adoptive parents, children and surrogate mothers. Prosecutors described an elaborate scheme that stretched across two continents. Erickson and two others allegedly recruited women to go to the Ukraine and be implanted with embryos from anonymous donors.

GOP candidates go after Obama


AMES, Iowa GOP presidential front-runner Mitt Romney and seven rivals trying to emerge from the pack castigated President Barack Obamas handling of the economy and the debt ceiling debate Thursday night in a debate shadowed by the latest Republican to join the eld, Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Im not going to eat Barack Obamas dog food, Romney said when asked whether he would have vetoed the compromise legislation that Congress gave to the president that raised the debt ceiling. What he served up is not what I would have as president of the United States. Tim Pawlenty, the former Minnesota governor, assailed Obama for his lousy leadership and lousy economy. And Rep. Michele Bachmann noted that she had voted against raising the debt ceiling. She raised her voice saying she had a message for Obama: You are nished in 2012, and you will be a one-term president.

U.S. fears a financial crisis from overseas


By Paul Wiseman, Daniel Wagner and Christina Rexrode
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Three years ago, a nancial crisis triggered by bad mortgage investments spread from U.S. banks to Europe. Panicky nancial markets tanked. Now, fear is running in the opposite direction. Worries about toxic government debt held by European banks have hammered U.S. stocks and threaten to freeze credit on both sides of the Atlantic. And traders are wondering: Could Europes governmentdebt crisis spread through the U.S. nancial system? No ones sure because no one knows how much toxic debt European banks hold or how much risk that debt poses to U.S. banks. But investors are worried. The 2008 nancial crisis left countries like Greece, Ireland and Portugal holding huge debts. The three have required bailouts from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund totaling $520 billion. Italy and Spain, which are much bigger economies, might need bailouts, too.

Minutes later the two Minnesota rivals attacked each others records, underscoring how much each has on the line in a test vote in Iowa on Saturday that could make or break their candidacies. Pawlenty, who is struggling to gain traction, went on the offensive, accusing Bachmann of achieving nothing signicant in Congress, lacking executive experience and having a history of fabrications. Shes got a record of misstating and making false statements, Pawlenty said. Bachmann, who has risen in polls since entering the race this summer and has eclipsed Pawlenty, responded with a list of what she called Pawlentys liberal policies as governor, including his support for legislation to curb emissions. You said the era of small government is over, she told Pawlenty. That sounds

a lot like Barack Obama if you ask me. Notably absent from the stage were Perry, who was in Texas, and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who isnt a candidate but was stoking presidential speculation anew with a visit to the Iowa State Fair. Just hours before the start of the eightcandidate spectacle, Perrys aides made it known that he was running for the GOP nomination. Texas longest-serving governor was finalizing plans for a weekend announcement tour. It was the latest twist in the most consequential week yet in the 2012 Republican presidential nomination ght. Capping it all, along with Perrys announcement, will be Saturdays Iowa straw poll. Its an early test of strength for Republicans competing in the state and could well winnow the eld.

Pelosi names final members to debt supercommittee


By Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The fragile economy and wildly gyrating nancial markets could put enormous pressure on Congress new debt-reduction supercommittee. Yet even as leaders nished naming the bipartisan panels members, it remained uncertain that it will ultimately agree on a savings plan. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced the panels nal three members on Thursday, and like the

previous nine all are congressional veterans. They are Reps. James E. Clyburn of South Carolina and Xavier Becerra of California, members of their partys House leadership, and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, top Democrat on the Budget Committee. Last weeks agreement between President Barack Obama and Congress creating the panel gives it until Nov. 23 to propose $1.5 trillion in savings over the coming decade. If the committee fails to agree on a plan or if Congress doesnt approve one by Dec. 23 auto-

matic spending cuts would be triggered affecting hundreds of federal programs. As if that werent enough pressure, recent days have seen world nancial markets endure breath-taking ups and downs, plus the downgrade of the nations credit rating by Standard and Poors and continued fears of economic weakness in the U.S. and Europe. In a conference call with reporters, Clyburn said he believes the panel can produce more than $1.5 trillion in savings, as long as Republicans drop their objections to raising revenues.

Act with conviction,not fear


an we all just take a deep breath? Try it with us. Breathe in, breathe out. Feels better, right? Now try to remember all the sage advice of your elders. Stay calm, be rational, think of the bigger picture. Think long term. Dont act out of fear. Now look at your investments. Pretty scary right? Yes. Yes, it is. But thats no reason to panic and sell. Yet that is what a lot of people are doing right now. And it just might mean we scare ourselves right into a recession. Now, that doesnt sound very productive, does it? The recent stock market malaise has jolted to attention many who may look at their portfolio a few times a year, at that. With the advent of 401(k)s, many simply shufe in money before it even hits their paycheck with a company match into mutual funds that they spent a few minutes researching. A 10 percent return is nice. A 5 percent return is OK. And with the market gyrating, this might seem like a good time to cash out. But its exactly the wrong time to cash out. A better time would have been when the market was reaching its highs earlier in the year, if even then. Now is a good time to put money in. It seems counterintuitive, but it just might be the best thing for you, and this nation. The specter still looms large of when the nancial collapse of our biggest institutions was imminent in 2008. Could that happen again? Well, yes. But likely not. That was an unprecedented situation that will likely never

Other voices
that option left in its arsenal, though it was wise not to reveal it just yet. The reasons for the recent stock market malaise is manifold. Some blame the Democrats, the Republicans, the president or the Tea Party. Some blame them all. But the debt ceiling debate was only a small portion of the equation. The Federal Reserves second round of quantitative easing allowed the U.S. government to print money to buy bank assets, which lowered interest rates and spurred investment in the stock market since a savings account yielded so little. That expired in June, just as the earnings season ended when stocks normally take a dip. That, combined with sovereign woes in Europe and the lingering instability in Japan, made the market ripe for a correction. Add in the debt ceiling debate and the S&P downgrade and there were many messages to sell. The correction was warranted. The market was overbought and overpropped. But dont let the political ramblings sway you. The debt ceiling debate was just one small piece in a complicated global puzzle. Regardless of what you may think of how President Obama dealt with the issue, he was right when he said the United States was, and will always will be, a AAA nation. One of the reasons for that is that we are not a nation of the fearful. Quite the opposite. Our ancestors, and newcomers, came here for opportunity. And there are plenty of opportunities right now, as long we dont act out of fear, but rather out of conviction.

Editorial
be repeated. Unless, of course, the powers that be conjure up some odd new rules that allow collateralized debt obligations and credit default swaps to spawn a bubble. Corporate earnings are at an all-time high and many companies are hoarding cash. With the value of many companies falling because of the recent stock market drop, there is a tremendous opportunity for some of the cash-rich companies to start looking for bargains in others that can help them ll a portion of the market they dont currently have. We should take our queue from them and bargain shop ourselves for solid companies with cash reserves that make actual products that people use because, no matter what, people will always need products whether it be computer equipment, pharmaceuticals or toothpaste. The underlying strength of our economy is intact regardless of what Standard & Poors says. It is ironic that after the credit rating of the United States was downgraded, many people pulled their money out of the market and put them in the safe haven of American treasuries the very entity that was downgraded. The United States and the United Kingdom are two of the only nations in the world that can print money at will. Ination is a risk, but that is one that would be OK to take right now and the Federal Reserve has

Letters to the editor


Clarification on story
Editor, On Monday, Aug. 8 an article was published in the San Mateo Daily Journal entitled Independent doctors look to unite. I was originally approached by reporter Bill Silverfarb to be interviewed for an article on alternative medical choices in the community of San Mateo. I agreed to meet with him. I was surprised when I read the article and the title. I was not shown the article or title prior to publication. Our interview was to address alternative choices for receiving ancillary health services in San Mateo and differences in costs between health services providers. I did not discuss any specic matters regarding an independent physicians group with this reporter other than to say there are independent physicians who are in private practice in San Mateo. I never represented myself as a spokesperson for independent physicians in San Mateo; in fact, I specically told the reporter that I was not a spokesperson for independent physicians. I never indicated in any way to this reporter that private physicians in San Mateo have an antagonistic relationship with Mills Peninsula Medical Center. On the contrary, the physicians in San Mateo are highly supportive and have a collaborative relationship with Mills Peninsula Medical Center and in turn Mills Peninsula Medical Center supports our local physicians. The physicians in our community and our community hospital have had and always will have the same goal; namely, to provide excellent medical care for our patients. This goal is achieved by our local physicians working side by side with our local hospital. This teamwork has resulted in the excellent care our patients have received and will continue to receive in the future. I wish apologize to anyone who has been offended by the content of the article.

Editor, It just amazes me that Gizmodo and Jason Chen were not charged when they apparently knew that the iPhone 4 was possibly illegally obtained or, at best, misappropriated (Charges led in iPhone 4 case in the Aug. 11 edition of the Daily Journal). Gizmodo may have felt that it was protected by the First Amendment. Maybe it was, maybe not. Since Gizmodo will not be charged, we will never know whether the First Amendment covers this type of conduct. I can understand the district attorneys

cross the United States, there is a growing battle over new voter registration laws. In 36 states, laws are being changed or proposed that would increase identication requirements for voters. Voting rules have long been a political football, because the constituencies most closely associated with Republicans such as suburbanites and upper-income voters tend to move less and therefore have fewer registration problems. Democrats, however, often must scramble to make sure their less-rooted constituencies including college students and racial minorities get registered. Republican ofcials claim to be worried about fraud; Democrats who push for looser rules claim its all about promoting democracy. These days, because of their gains in the mid-term elections, Republicans are in a better position to game the system by imposing unreasonably onerous requirements on those who seek to help voters get registered. Earlier this year, the perennial battleground state of Florida passed a sweeping law that restricts the ability of groups to conduct voter-registration drives.

But people are worried about missing the bottom, so you will have a few melt-ups along the way. The four days of trading this week have been the wildest for the market since the financial crisis during the fall of 2008. Each day has instantly taken a place in Wall Street history. The Dows losses on Monday and Wednesday were its sixth- and ninth-largest by points, and its gains on Tuesday and Thursday were the 10th- and 11thlargest. The Standard & Poors 500 index has risen or fallen at least 4 percent each day. That has not happened on four consecutive days since November 2008, the depths of the crisis. Its only the third time since 1934, said Kevin Pleines, an analyst at Birinyi Associates. The first was October 1987 including the day known as Black Monday, when the S&P plunged more than 20 percent.

NEW YORK Lurching higher in its week of whiplash, Wall Street recorded one of its biggest gains of all time Thursday after investors seized on a few signs that the economy might just be able to avoid a new recession.

The pieces of news that sent Wall Street rocketing higher were not exactly blockbusters: Cisco Systems said its profit was better than expected, the job market got a little better, and France tried to raise confidence in its shaken banking system. But this is a week in which any move by the market higher or lower seems to touch off an investor stampede. So it was on Thursday, when stocks shot higher at the opening bell and never turned around.

Unemployment claims ease fears


By Daniel Wagner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON After calamitous losses on Wall Street and fears of another recession, the economy got a dose of good news Thursday: The number of people applying for unemployment benets fell below 400,000 for the rst time since April. Layoffs are easing in most states, and some economists are predicting mild improvement in job growth. The brighter outlook was enough to catapult stocks. The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 423 points. Broader indexes also ended

the day higher. Weekly unemployment applications fell to a seasonally adjusted 395,000, the Labor Department said. They had been above 400,000 for the previous 17 weeks. The four-week average, a less volatile gure, fell to 405,000. Thats the lowest level since mid-April. Steven Wood, chief economist at Insight Economics, said the declining trend in applications is an encouraging sign for the job market. Although the labor market also hit a soft patch along with most of the rest of the economy during the spring and early summer, it now appears to be strengthening, at least a little, again,

Wood wrote in a research note. Still, analysts responded with some caution. Applications would have to fall below 375,000 to signal healthy job growth, a level not seen since February. And other data show the economy is struggling to grow. The latest evidence of a slowdown came Thursday in a government report that the U.S. trade decit grew in June to its widest point since October 2008. The reason was that exports fell the most in more than two years. The report will likely lead the government later this month to lower its estimate of 1.3 percent annual growth for the April-June quarter.

Google adds games in its latest move on Facebook
SAN FRANCISCO Internet search leader Google Inc. is bringing a little more gamesmanship to its duel with Facebook. Just like they have been doing for years on Facebooks website, Web surfers will now be able to play games with their friends and family on Googles blossoming social networking service. Googles expansion into games, announced Thursday, had been expected since the company unveiled its Plus networking service in late June. The service is being groomed to be an alternative to Facebooks popular hangout. By adding games to Plus, Google hopes to give its edging networks more than 25 million users a reason to come to the service more frequently and stay longer once theyre there. The strategy has worked well at Facebook, where games requiring players to ll the roles of farmers, mob bosses and card sharks have attracted obsessive followings among its more than 750 million users. Facebooks top games are provided by Zynga Inc., a 4-yearold company hoping to sell its stock in an initial public offering this fall. Google is one of Zyngas investors, according to IPO documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The papers dont specify the size Googles stake in Zynga, which is based in San Francisco.

State exports up again in June, imports decline


SACRAMENTO Exports from California remained strong in June, growing from the previous year for the 20th month in a row. The increase reported Thursday highlights one of the states most consistent bright spots in a struggling economy. California still has the second-highest unemployment rate in the nation and job growth has been spotty, but exports have returned to pre-recession levels after adjusting for ination. The report by Beacon Economics says export growth gives companies a reason to invest at a time when uncertainty has made businesses reluctant to spend. Exports by California companies totaled $13.8 billion in June, up 13 percent from a year earlier.

A Western showdown
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Not so long ago, Kevin Towers and Bruce Bochy were working together to build a winner in San Diego. Now, Towers is the rst-year general manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks and trying mightily to dethrone Bochy and the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants. I want to somehow be ahead of Boch, Towers said with a chuckle during his teams recent visit to AT&T Park. I dont like being on his bumper. These two clubs could very well go back and forth the rest of the way. The D-backs led the NL West on Thursday for the rst time since June 24, on top in a year when many hardly considered them contenders. Even Towers himself acknowledged at the start of spring training his team would have to surprise with pitching in a division dominated by talented arms or Arizona would fall out of the running in a hurry. Bochys Giants are in their worst funk of the year, and Arizona would like nothing more than to take advantage. Who would have thought the West would turn into a two-team race in early August? Well bounce back. Weve got a lot of heart and a lot of ght in our team, San Franciscos Cody Ross said. Nobody in here has forgotten that. Other people might have but we dont. The idle Giants (64-54) began the day a halfgame behind the Diamondbacks, who were hosting Houston at night. San Francisco, having lost 10 of 13 after a 3-7 homestand, traveled to Florida to kick off a 10-game road trip Friday night. These D-backs sure seem to have legitimate staying power. No question they deserve to be in the position they are. We really take them very seriously, Giants GM Brian Sabean said. Theyve done a nice job all around. Theyre a well-rounded team, especially now. Towers acquired pitchers Jason Marquis and Brad Ziegler at last months trade deadline to bolster an already reliable staff. Whether thats enough when it comes down to it, hes not sure.

Well see, Towers said. I knew wed have a chance (if we pitched). This division could go down to the wire again. Everybody involved expects it. Colorado cant be counted out, but the thirdplace Rockies have had a rough go. The bankrupt Dodgers have endured a drama-lled year after Major League Baseball assumed control of the clubs operations in mid-April. And the last-place Padres are a far cry from the team that was eliminated from playoff contention in San Francisco on the seasons nal day last fall no longer the challenger they were under the guidance of Towers and Bochy back in the day. The Giants clinched their rst division title since 2003 last year in Bochys fourth year as manager to end a six-year playoff drought, then went on to capture an improbable World Series title. They came through their problems last August, so many still gure its the Giants division to lose. The Dodgers are having troubles, said Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, eliminated by San Francisco in a six-game NL championship series last October. At the beginning of the season I thought Colorado would be a little bit better than they are right now. Some years thats just kind of the way it goes. San Diego, with their pitching, I thought theyd be better, too. But Arizona just came from nowhere. They found pitching. They just worked with their own and developed it. You can go a long way sometimes by wanting to play, when your guys love to play and they give it all theyve got. Arizona was swept in San Francisco from May 10-12, all three losses by one run. That weekend was tough to swallow, but also helped light a re in Towers team. I felt we were good back then but we were losing those games by one run, said 14-game winner Ian Kennedy, who takes the ball Friday to open a series with the Mets at Chase Field. I think they put a great team together. There are some teams that are more talented, but we play well together. ... Its about talent and chemistry. Pitching has a lot to do with it. Thats why we were out of it last year our starters werent very good and our bullpen wasnt very good, Kennedy said.

Chang a big reason for South City Colt program shows community pride San Bruno Storms success
By Julio Lara By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

San Bruno Storm ace pitcher Kaitlin Chang has never met a challenge she doesnt like and wont take head-on. So after a 2010 season that ended a little sooner than she wanted, the challenge in 2011 was to carry her team as far as her golden arm would allow. And just like every challenge shes faced in her young career, Chang can say that she did what she set out to do. In her last season with the Storm, the under14 softball team from San Bruno, Chang, along with fellow ace Jenna Lacayo, pitched her team into the Western National champi-

onships in Spokane, Wash. When the team entered the tournament last week, it had an unblemished 33-0 record, thanks in large part to 19 shutouts and a team ERA of .094. At the forefront of that pitching dominance was Chang, who in her fth year with the program, enjoyed one of best seasons by any

See CHANG, Page 14

The saying goes that the name on the front of the jersey is more important than the name on the back. But in this day and age of summer baseball, in which players from far and wide can be brought in to play for their city, it seems even that clich has gone by the wayside. That is until you venture into South San Francisco and its Colt baseball program which, to this day, proves year in and year out, that its possible to eld a true city team and still compete against the big boys. The summer of 2011 is a prime example of such a philosophy, with South City enjoying one of their most successful seasons by going 12-5 in postseason play a run that included

a second-place finish in the Peninsula Sectionals, a championship in the Western Regionals and a strong showing at the Western Zone tournament. I think it was one of those years where we werent predicted to go as far, said South City manager Joe Freitas. It was pretty impressive. If you put it city to city, we did very well way beyond my expectations. And thats the part that makes me more proud than anything because you got one city. Its pretty amazing. It was the combined efforts of the 16 boys, from four different schools, that netted the city its strongest showing in recent memory. And they did it with pitching, timely hitting and a chemistry that comes from sharing the same city border and community.

Environmentalists call for better Americas Cup planning


By Jason Dearen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Conservation groups on Thursday called on city leaders to improve plans for reducing the environmental impact of events related to the Americas Cup in 2013, when the worlds fastest yachts will race on San Francisco Bay drawing millions to its famous shoreline. City planners heard public comments Thursday afternoon on the 1,400-page draft environmental impact report outlining plans to protect water, air and land from pollution during the events 50 days of racing. The Americas Cup is expected to

draw 5 million spectators, including 500,000 people a day on peak race days. San Franciscos total population is just above 800,000, so city residents, especially in neighborhoods near the waterfront, are girding themselves. According to the draft plan, the city faces big hurdles in preparing for the race. San Francisco plans to remake its historic northern waterfront between the Bay Bridge and Fishermans Wharf, and build a number of spectator venues along the water in one of the countrys highest density cities. To do this, San Francisco ofcials plan to open up environmentally sensitive parks such as Crissy Field, the Marina Green and Aquatic Park to

spectators who want to watch the 72foot yachts speed by. Plans call for fences to be built to block sensitive habitat for birds like snowy plovers and other animals, and to hire staff to help keep people out of those areas. Americas Cup and city ofcials hope to have nal approval by the end of year so work can begin on converting several piers to racing team bases, while also setting up an Americas Cup center. After the renowned yacht race is nished, this center is expected to be converted into a cruise ship terminal. The race is expected to create thousands of jobs and pump more than $1.4 billion into local coffers. A group of 30 environmental organi-

zations said Thursday they support holding the race here, but they want more assurances that the event will be held in an environmentally sustainable way. The groups charge that the citys voluminous environmental document is often vague when it comes to precise plans for protecting water and air quality and marine life. All of us want the Americas Cup here and want it done right, said Deb Self of San Francisco Baykeeper. We want it to leave a positive legacy for future generations ... and we think it can be done right. Self said the environmental council submitted dozens of pages of sugges-

tions to mitigate pollution, but the draft document incorporates few of the comments. That will cause headaches later when organizers have to x the document so the event complies with state law, she said We really need to take care of the shortcomings of this document now, before it gets rushed to nal approval, Self said. A chief concern raised by the environmental council is the waste expected to be sent into the bay from an increase recreational vessels watching the race. The groups urged authorities to publicize that boaters cannot simply dump their waste overboard and that it needs to be disposed of properly at a dock.

Stricker leads after wild first round at PGA


By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. Steve Stricker stood a mere 10 feet away from the lowest round ever in a major, a captivating moment at any other championship. Not this one. Not with U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy, the favorite at this PGA, trying to blast a 7-iron through a tree root. He injured his wrist so badly that he thought of quitting, yet somehow managed an even-par 70 despite not being able to hang onto the club with both hands. And not with Tiger Woods looking like a 14-time major champion for ve holes, only to nish 14 shots out of the lead after stumbling through the sand and posting a 77, his second-worst score ever in a major. Already a memorable year in the majors, it looks like the PGA Championship wants a piece of the action. On a sweat-stained Thursday at Atlanta Athletic Club, Stricker

became the 11th player in PGA Championship history to shoot 63. He opened with three straight birdies and kept right on going until he stood on the cusp of history without even knowing it. Only after his birdie putt for 62 slid by the cup did his caddie, Jimmy Johnson, tell him that it was for the record in a major. It never really registered, Stricker said. I was just trying to make a birdie and nish 8 under, and I really was concentrating on the putt, but never thought about the history part of it. He never thought he could be atop the leaderboard, either. After three days of practice on the 7,467-yard course the longest par 70 ever at a major Stricker didnt have a good feeling about his chances. His money would have been on his Wisconsin neighbor, Jerry Kelly, and he wasnt too far off. Kelly had a career-best 65 in the PGA Championship and was two shots behind. Completing the American foursome atop the leaderboard was former PGA champion

Steve Stricker, the PGA Championships rst-round leader, red a 7-under 63 tied the record for lowest round in a major.
Shaun Micheel at 66, and Scott Verplank with a 67, perhaps the biggest surprise of the day because Verplank has been battling a wrist injury. For the longest time, it looked as though he would have company in physical therapy.

The 22-year-old McIlroy showed his age, if not his fearless style, by taking a shot out of the left rough on the third hole, even though his ball sat squarely behind a 2-inch wide tree root. He let the club y from his hands on contact, but it was too late. The ball only went about 20 yards behind more trees, and McIlroy immediately began shaking his right hand. Before long, he noticed swelling by the wrist, and a throbbing that stretched all the day up to his shoulder. It was dangerous, McIlroy conceded. In hindsight, it would have been better to chip out sideways. I still made 5. Yeah, it was a shot that I felt like, if I took it on and pulled it off, it could have saved me a shot. It nearly cost him the rest of the week. McIlroy put an ice compress on his wrist, then summoned a physical therapist. He thought about withdrawing, but pressed on, inching and exing his wrist and making just enough putts for a remarkable round of 70. He was scheduled for tests Thursday night, but felt condent

about playing the second round if he could be assured he couldnt do anything to make it worse. The only injury to Woods was to his psyche. He was 3 under through ve holes, including a 5-wood from pine straw over a mound and under a tree that set up birdie on the par-5 12th hole. But after a 4-iron into the water on the par3 15th, he came undone. Woods made three double bogeys over the next 10 holes, and wound up in a dozen bunkers. One last bogey gave him his second-highest score in a major, behind the 81 he shot at Muireld in the 2002 British Open when it was wet and windy. This day was simply steamy, which described Woods mood after a round that got away. Im not down, he said. Im really angry right now. Theres a lot of words I could use beyond that. He attributed the shocking turnaround to ditching mechanics and trying to play as though his swing changes were coming naturally. A 13hole train wreck showed otherwise.

Saints keeping it simple in preseason opener against 49ers


By Brett Martel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

METAIRIE, La. If Sean Paytons play-calling prowess isnt on full display in the Saints preseason opener against San Francisco on Friday night, blame the lockout. If the play on the eld is sloppy, thats another matter. Payton said he shortened his play book for the rst exhibition game because he didnt want to rush things, and instead dictated a deliberate pace to make sure players got the things they were working on right.

Theyre in good shape, Payton said. I think theyre ready to handle the snaps that theyre given and well go from there. The Saints have had only seven full practices since the leagues collective bargaining agreement was ratied last week, opening the way for veteran free agents acquired after the lockout to get back on the eld. The club did not hold a scrimmage as it has done in every other preseason since Payton arrived in 2006. Full tackling has been allowed during only one portion of one practice on Tuesday. Its not about doing a lot of things. Its about doing the little things extraor-

dinarily well, said running back Joique Bell, a young reserve who needs to perform well to make the roster. Were just trying to master our craft as far as what weve learned up to now. While NFL labor strife prevented teams from holding their normal offseason workouts, the Saints suspect they are better prepared than most. The main reason is that quarterback Drew Brees and linebacker Jon Vilma called on dozens of teammates to join them at Tulane over the summer to simulate the offseason work they would have otherwise done at the team facility. Were ready to play, said backup

quarterback Chase Daniel, who should see signicant playing time against the 49ers. Everything this team has done through the offseason, working out at Tulane ... coming back here and being in shape and ready to go for our conditioning test. ... People are going to be surprised. Despite the compressed timeframe, Payton still plans to have most starters and backups get about the same playing time they normally would in a rst exhibition game. From a playing time standpoint, we kind of stuck with the snap count that we felt comfortable with, Payton said, adding that offensive and defensive

starters would play between 14 and 16 snaps. Payton noted, however, that a few key players such as Brees, Vilma and newly acquired running back Darren Sproles, might play less. That could mean more time for the players who need it in order to make an impression. Payton has expressed particular concern about having less time to evaluate new, undrafted players this season. In past seasons, such players have turned into key contributors for the Saints, such as running back Pierre Thomas. Its important that our players understand certainly the importance of these preseason games, Payton said.

win in the Storms rst game, got the save in the second and pitched a shutout in the fourth. It was actually a really good experience, Chang said of the tournament. Last year we didnt go very far and I kind of felt that his year we had the team to go a little further. But it was a great tournament. We faced a lot of really good teams that we werent used to playing. And just being there, playing Nationals in a different state, it was a really big honor for me to have playing time and represent San Bruno. Changs contributions didnt come just in the circle. She said she takes pride in being a versatile asset for the Storm all season long. I think the ability to play any position the coaches would put me in beneted the team, she said. We had to move around some people and make changes and I was able to ll any spot. Being able to be a team player, I never got down on myself and I just tried my best at every position. Chang did very well at the plate, too. In 81 at-bats she hit .395 with 17 runs batted in. Her success at the dish came after starting off well and then hitting a month-long slump that saw her move down in the Storm lineup. She said she kept practicing and eventually her swing reappeared during a tournament in Santa Clara. Still, Chang knows her biggest contribution to the team was with her arm. I was one of two aces we had, she said. And I felt if I wasnt able to live up to that this summer, I would be letting my team down because you cant always go off on just one are just kind of proud of how far they got being all of them were from South City. South City began its postseason trek by going 4-2 in the Peninsula Sectional, falling to Pacica but still securing a spot in the Western Regional which was played at San Joses P.A.L. Stadium. It was at the regional tournament that South City put together what Freitas described as one of the best pitching performances by a staff hes ever coached. Josh Eclavea, Jordon Jauregui, Ryan Mohr and Omar Reyes carried the team on the mound, going 5-1 in the process to capture the tournament title and secure a spot in the Western Zone tournament. gone out of his way to be a hands-on presence for a young team.

We had the best record, everyone got along, we all played well together and we all became a family. Changs performance this summer was nothing short of remarkable. And she has the numbers to prove it. In 57 innings of work, Chang went 13-0 with a 0.98 ERA and two saves. Opposing batters hit a measly .188 against her and she struck out 62 hitters while surrendering a mere 40 hits and only eight earned runs. I just think when I was younger, I wanted to play every single position and I started trying it out, Chang said of her pitching. I worked with coaches and it made me better I really like the position. I like challenges and becoming a better pitcher is a challenge for me so I like working with what I can do with it. Apparently, she can do a lot with the softball. Chang pitched in all ve games during the Storms trip to Washington, starting in three and carrying a bulk of the load after Lacayo caught the u bug.

Instead, each batter she faced was a new challenge. Before each game our coaches would say you have to go in with the thought that this Ive never had starting pitching. Our pitching depth has never been this good in all the years that Ive coach, said Freitas, whos been coaching for 30-plus years. The starting pitching was unbelievable. They just came together. After capturing the regional title, South City showed tremendous grit in going 2-2 at the Zone tournament. In game one, the pitching was superb again, hurling a 3-0 shutout against a team from Washington. But maybe their most impressive showing, according to Freitas, came in a 2-1, 12-inning loss to a San Bernardino team. Freitas said that it was a true David versus Goliath scenario in that the Southern California team pools players from 12 different places unlike the the end of the season well see where were at. The Giants are the Giants. Theyre the world champs. We understand that. We respect them. We take care of our business. We dont have to worry about anybody else. ... We just want to keep putting pressure on the people above us and enjoy playing the game the right way.

Every year youre always tweaking things. In is like a championship game and you have to play your heart out, she said. I would always take that into consideration. They might not be the best team but maybe they practiced a lot more and saw some of our weaknesses so I went in with every intention that this game is a championship game. You have to play your best and try not to make any mistakes. South City team which represented the town with a population of about 60,000. We havent changed our philosophy, Freitas said. It worked for us internally but still, to go up against a team like San Bernardino, it makes it tough. But we proved we could handle our own with that game. Im very proud of the way the guys played. All of them. They did a hell of a job. It was a job done by a tight-knit group with a lot of pride in their city. A lot of it was the chemistry, Freitas said of his teams success. The guys just came together and just had that same goal of getting as far as we could. We took each level as a challenge. They rose to the occasion. our case, were a little more in need and anxious to do things for obvious reasons, he said.

Big changes to Hyundais small car

passenger,compact hatchback. ENGINE: 1.6-liter, double overhead cam, direct-injected four cylinder with D-CVVT. MILEAGE:30 mpg (city),40 mpg (highway).

TOP SPEED:115 mph. LENGTH:162 inches. WHEELBASE:101.2 inches. CURB WEIGHT: 2,588 pounds. BUILT AT:South Korea. OPTIONS:iPod cable $35. DESTINATION CHARGE:$760.

Hyundais smallest auto, the Accent, is no longer the cheapest new car in America. Instead, its a stylish compact with class-leading fuel mileage, notable features and an interior so quiet at stoplights you might think the engine has turned off. Revamped for 2012, the now fourth-generation Accent is slightly bigger than its predecessor, yet has a government fuel economy rating of 30 miles per gallon in city driving and 40 mpg on the highway. This is the rating for every Accent, so buyers dont have to pay more as they do with the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze and 2011 Ford Fiesta to get a high-mileage version of the car. And based on the test drive of a 2012 Accent where the government mileage ratings were attained, this can translate into well over 360 combined city/highway miles on a single tank of regular gasoline. Also not to be missed: Like every Hyundai, the Accent comes with a 10-year/100,000mile powertrain warranty and a limited, bumper-to-bumper warranty for 5 years/60,000 miles. This compares with the bumper-to-bumper, three-year/36,000-mile warranties of major competitors at Honda and Ford. Starting manufacturers suggested retail price, including destination charge, for the 2012 Accent with 138-horsepower four cylinder is $13,205. But this is for a base GLS sedan with manual transmission, manual rollup windows, manually adjustable outside mirrors and no air conditioning, and I couldnt nd this model on the Hyundai consumer website. The more normal base Accent GLS a sedan with air conditioning, an AM/FM radio with three months of XM satellite radio, and power windows and mirrors was there as

the lowest-priced model and is $14,955 with manual transmission. The Accent hatchback is offered in upper trim levels of GS and SE, with a starting retail price of $16,555 with manual transmission. Automatic transmission adds $1,000 to $1,200 to the prices, depending on the trim level. These prices compare with the $17,295 starting retail price for a 2011 Ford Focus sedan with manual transmission and 140horsepower, four-cylinder engine. The base 2011 Focus ve-door hatchback with manual transmission and same engine has a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $18,995. The smaller-sized Honda Fit five-door hatchback, which is powered by a 117-horsepower four cylinder, has a starting retail price of $15,870 with manual transmission, air conditioning, power windows and standard cruise control. The Fit is not sold as a sedan. The new Accent is proof that Americans are nally getting a better selection of new, small cars that dont look and feel cheap. The Accent SE hatchback test car looked attractive and even a bit sporty without resorting to the usual styling tricks of add-on body kit pieces that can be found on some Mazdas, for example.

Even in this blistering hot summer, I never found the Accent seats even in black to be overly hot to the touch. Textured gray ceiling material and hard black plastic on the Accent dashboard and door interiors looked upscale and was accented nicely by satin silver-colored trim pieces. I dropped down to get onto the seats of the rate, at 90.9 percent, while Cabrillo Unied, at 80.9 percent, had the lowest. When it comes to dropout rates, Cabrillo Unied had the lowest with 5.9 percent while Jefferson Union High and San Mateo Union High tied for the highest with 11.4 percent. While the method of data collection this year does not allow direct comparisons with prior data, these data should provide a more complete picture of how our schools are doing as measured by dropout data, said Gary Waddell, deputy superintendent for the San Mateo County Ofce of Education, adding San Mateo County continues to outperform the state in terms of graduation rate. Nonetheless, we also know that we still have important work to do to reduce the number of dropouts from San Mateo County schools by continuing to develop quality educational programs that reach all students.

I still had decent views out front and was able to look through the windows of a Nissan Maxima sedan in front of me, for example, to see trafc ahead. The ride was somewhat rm but not overly so. While my passengers and I felt some vibrations from road bumps, we did not experience constant vibrations, and the overall ride was pleasant for a car at this price. Especially memorable: How quiet the Accent was when the engine was at idle, such Scott Laurence, superintendent of the San Mateo Union High School District, was excited to have good data to use as a baseline. In years to come, the district will be able to see the results of programs aimed to meet the needs of struggling student and make adjustments. Having higher graduation rates and lower dropout rates doesnt mean there isnt work to be done an achievement gap continues among students who are Hispanic, black or English learners compared to others. Statewide, 67.7 percent of Hispanic students, 59 percent of English learners and 56.3 percent of black students graduated. San Mateo County fared better with 72.1 percent of Hispanic students, 61.8 percent of English learners and 67 percent of black students graduated. Dropout rates locally are about 10 percent lower across the board for the three groups,

as at stoplights. While the car was moving, however, there was a good amount of road noise coming from the tires. But I never heard wind noise. Back seat passengers remarked how easy it was to get inside, as rear doors opened to nearly a 90-degree angle and there was no hump in the middle of the rear oor. Sitting behind me, they could even extend their legs for comfort if they tucked toes under the front seats. Seats cushions felt like spongy foam with some rmness. Rear side windows were surprisingly lengthy, and headroom back there of 37.8 inches is a bit under the 38.3 inches in the Focus. The Accents single engine a new 1.6liter, double overhead cam, gasoline directinjection four cylinder with variable valve timing provides 25 percent more power than last years Accent and is surprising for being in a small, mainstream car. Most small cars, particularly those that are not from Europe, do not include direct injection. The Accent tester didnt zoom forward in a big rush, especially when I had it in eco mode for best fuel mileage. But it was spunky enough to feel competent overall and easy to drive. Torque peaks at 123 foot-pounds at 4,850 rpm. The Accents other big surprise: Its modern six-speed automatic transmission. Higher numbers of transmission gears help improve vehicle fuel mileage, and the 2011 Focus only has a four-speed auto, while the 2012 Honda Civics have a ve-speed auto. which statewide teeter around 30 percent. Specic information about these groups will come into play when creating and altering programs. The Sequoia Union High School District is starting such classes this fall, said Superintendent Jim Lianides. The plan is to directly meet the needs of special learners, he said. The data will be one of a number of ways the district can see the impact of the new programs.

Bigger and better: Outside Lands is back


By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

After a mostly quiet third goaround in 2010 that received mixed reviews from its fanbase, the organizers of Outside Lands have gone back to what made the music, food, wine and art festival one of the must-attend events of the summer it

seems that three is the magic number. Outside Lands returns to its three-days roots this weekend at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, and with it comes arguably the best trio of headliners in its four-year history. In 2011, fans will be treated to Phish, the rock band legendary for its live shows, on Friday. On

Saturday, Muse will headline the night and the festival. And on Sunday, Arcade Fire, fresh off a performance in the 2011 Grammys that nally shined the appropriate spotlight on the Canadian sensation, will cap off the festivities. In addition to the ne headliners, Outside Lands comes packed with such great musical

diversity: From acts like !!!, Toro Y Moi and Grouplove, to more prominent artists like Big Boi, DeadMau5 and rising stars like Elle Goudling and the Black Keys. Of course, the music isnt the only thing that makes Outside Lands great just as diverse is the more than 60 food selections

Bert and Ernie wed? An idea divorced from reality


NEW YORK An online petition calling for the nuptials of Muppet at-mates Bert and Ernie has sparked comment, controversy and lots of tweets. But dont bet on wedding bells to ring. Chicago resident Lair Scott, who posted the petition, is seeking matrimony for the Sesame Street chums as a way to make gay and lesbian kids who watch the show feel better about themselves, and to promote tolerance for people who are different. The marriage could legitimately happen, he reasons, since Sesame Street is located in New York, where gay marriage became legal in June. Others agreed. By Thursday afternoon, Scotts petition had collected 5,800 signatures. But there were alternate petitions also waiting on the website, Change.org. They included: Stop Bert and Ernie from getting married; Stop the senseless false labeling of these two best friends; and Leave Bert and Ernie alone. You could take your pick from those or nearly two dozen more. Or you could just tweet about it. On Thursday, Bert & Ernie was a trending Twitter topic. One tweet wondered why so much attention was being showered on Bert and Ernies domestic status, when poor Oscar the Grouch remains on the curb, dwelling in a garbage can. Another tweet questioned why SpongeBob and Patrick seem above any suspicion, just because they maintain separate residences. And a fretful post expressed hope that this raging controversy doesnt affect stocks.

performer Sheldon S. Jo. Drawn as guest performers for this production are dancers from the local community, as well as students or alumni from Notre Dame High School and Notre Dame University: Allyson Blanck, Daina Block, Elizabeth Hendrix, Oumou Ly, Danielle Siegel and Danielle Vivion. As a socially conscious art form produced by the Arts Unity Movement, a portion of the net proceeds from the production will be donated to support the San Francisco Violence Consortium, to help end domestic abuse.

With Notre Dame de Namur University, there is one thing I have come to expect, that its theater venue will present some provocative cutting-edge productions, either from its own university programs or that of other arts groups on the Peninsula as part of its NDNU Festival of Theatre and Dance. This time its theater is hosting the recently formed New Ground Theatre Dance Company in its second storyline production entitled The Terrain Project Performance, a multimedia performance of dance, music and the paintings of Johanna Uribes. This is a provocative and moving dance narrative of common human dilemmas such as aging, love, domestic abuse, betrayal and rebirth, choreographed and lead-danced by the founder and artistic director Coleen Lorenz and the company. Lorenz, director of the dance program in the Department of Theatre and Dance at NDNU is a remarkably moving dancer, conveying the emotions of a betrayed middle-aged woman trapped in a dysfunctional marriage, husband danced by Will Springhorn Jr. These leads are backed by an excellent company of dancers: Sandy Rodriguez, Addie Spremich, Rebecca Fazio, Sarah Lopez, Teresa Visini and Sarah Garland, with guest

Glee: The 3D Concert Movie makes you realize just how crucial Jane Lynch is to the Fox TV shows success. Shes nowhere to be found in this peppy concert film, shot over two days during the recent North American tour, and her trademark snark as cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester is sorely missed. Instead what were left with are the musical performances, which are admittedly glossy, high-energy and infectious, but they seem awfully earnest on their own. Director Kevin Tancharoen doesnt offer much that you havent already seen on the ridiculously popular television series. The actors, in character, perform many of the songs that have become fan favorites including Journeys Dont Stop Believin, Lady Gagas Born This Way and Queens Somebody to Love with the same choreography and sometimes even the same costumes from the show. If youre looking for revealing behind-thescenes footage, forget it. Amber Riley, Heather Morris and Naya Rivera cattily oneup each other in the makeup room, but its all part of the act. There is not a single real or spontaneous moment in sight. And yet, if you love Glee, youll be psyched. These are your idols, the ones you welcome into your homes each week, now leaping into your laps in crisp, bright 3-D. Theyre all multitalented, dedicated young performers who have pulled off the difficult feat of working their butts off but making it look effortless and even fun. They give the people what they want if the people are Gleeks, that is. And we are reminded ad infinitum about the cultural significance of Glee, with its themes of inclusiveness and acceptance. Glee: The 3D Concert Movie would have been perfectly satisfying, escapist entertainment if it really, truly were just a concert movie. Instead, between numbers, we get

snippets of the back stories of three fans: a high school cheerleader whos a dwarf, a young gay man who was outed by a fellow student and a young woman with Aspergers syndrome whos obsessed with Morris character, Brittany. All have learned to feel more comfortable in their skin, they say, thanks to Glee. And sure, these are inspiring tales, but they feel wedged-in and they grind the pacing to a halt. Similarly, testimonials from fans outside the concerts most of whom are wearing homemade T-shirts and flashing the shows signature L for loser on their foreheads also have the cloying repetitiveness of an infomercial. Thankfully, Tancharoen keeps coming back to the music. Several moments stand out, including Lea Micheles performance of the Barbra Streisand classic Dont Rain on My Parade from Funny Girl. Michele, a Broadway veteran, just tears this thing up; its clearly a song both she and her character, Rachel, were born to sing. Riley, in character as the powerhouse vocalist Mercedes, belts out Aretha Franklins Aint No Way, and Tancharoen knows well enough to stand back, shoot it simply and let the moment speak for itself. And Morris does her ultrameta, Brittany-as-Britney-Spears routine, reenacting the Im a Slave 4 U video complete with barely-there costume and sexy dance moves. Seeing the wide range of songs in this setting makes you realize just how canny Glee is in appealing to multiple generations at once. From The Beatles to Rick Springfield to Katy Perry, theres something for everyone. Is it calculated? For sure. But it does what it needs to do to please its target audience. Everyone else may as well surrender to the juggernaut. Glee: The 3D Concert Movie, a 20th Century Fox release, is rated PG for thematic elements, brief language and some sensuality. Running time: 83 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

Watermelon: Moving beyond wedges


By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

When it comes to creative ways to consume watermelon, we tend to shortchange ourselves. There is the classic feta cheese, tomato and watermelon salad. There are various riffs on lemonade spiked with pureed watermelon. And, of course, there are innumerable variations on traditional fruit salad. But we wanted something more unique, more interesting. Which, oddly, took us back to tradition. In some parts of the country, pickled watermelon rind is a staple. But in most of the U.S., the rind is just natures way of adding a handle. So we started there. Then we moved on to the sweet, juicy esh, transforming it into a pudding t for a tart. Finally, we blended orange and elderower liqueur with vanilla to create a delicious syrup for marinating strawberries and watermelon.

Coat a 9-inch removable bottom tart pan with baking spray. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the butter, stirring until well mixed. Press the mixture into the prepared tart pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden. Meanwhile, in a blender puree the watermelon until completely smooth. You should have 2 cups of juice. Strain the juice through a ne mesh strainer into a small saucepan. Add the lemon juice. Over medium-high heat, bring the juice to a simmer. In a medium, heat-safe bowl, whisk together the eggs, cornstarch and sugar until smooth. In a slow and steady stream, pour the hot juice into the egg mixture while continuously whisking. Pour the mixture back into the pan and continue to cook, whisking until thickened. Pour the watermelon pudding into the baked tart crust.

Afghan witnesses: Chinook ablaze when it crashed


KABUL, Afghanistan Afghan children retrieved souvenir-sized pieces of a helicopter shot down by the Taliban in eastern Afghanistan where witnesses on Thursday described seeing the chopper burst into ames and break apart before falling from the sky, killing 30 U.S. troops and eight Afghans. Coalition forces nished recovering the victims remains and big sections of the wreckage. Yet small, twisted pieces of the Chinook CH-47 remain scattered on both sides of a slow-owing river in Wardak province where it crashed before dawn Saturday. Farhad, a local resident, told Associated Press Television News that the helicopter was shot down by a rocket-propelled grenade red from a nearby knoll as it was preparing to land. As soon as it was hit, it started burning, he said, standing in a eld still lit-

tered with small pieces of the chopper, including a part of a scorched rie stamped Made in Germany and a piece of charred paper with typewritten rst aid instructions. After it started burning, it crashed. It came down in three pieces, he added. We could see it burning from our homes. Many of the victims bodies were badly mangled and burned, said Farhad, who like many Afghans uses only one name. The crash about 60 miles (97 kilometers) southwest of Kabul was the deadliest single loss for U.S. forces in the nearly 10year Afghan war. The crash comes amid fears that the country is far from stable even though

Cameron: U.K. will seek anti-gang ideas from U.S.


By Danica Kirka and Jill Lawless
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Prime Minister David Cameron said Thursday that Britain would look to the United States for solutions to gang violence after nights of riots and looting, and promised authorities would get strong powers to stop street mayhem erupting again. Cameron told lawmakers he was are acting decisively to restore order on our streets, as police raided houses to round up suspects from four nights of unrest in London and other English cities. Steve Kavanagh, the deputy assistant commissioner of Londons Metropolitan Police, admitted the force initially did not deploy enough ofcers to control the outbreak of violence, saying it is clear we did not have enough numbers on duty to deal. Cameron also acknowledged that police had been overwhelmed by mobile groups of looters in the rst nights of the rioting and said authorities were considering new powers, including allowing police to order thugs to remove masks or hoods, evicting troublemakers from subsidized housing and temporarily disabling cell phone instant messaging services. He said the 16,000 police deployed on Londons streets to deter rioters and reassure residents would remain through the weekend. We will not let a violent few beat us, Cameron said. Lawmakers were summoned back from their summer vacations for an emergency session of Parliament on the riots as government and police worked to regain control, both on the streets and in the court of public opinion. Calm prevailed in London overnight, with a highly visible police presence watching over the capital, but a sense of nervousness lingered across the country. During a session lasting almost three hours in which he faced 160 questions from lawmakers, Cameron promised tough measures to stop further violence and said nothing should be off the table. He said that included water cannon and plastic bullets though senior police have said they dont feel the need to use those at the moment. He also said ofcials would look at whether there are tasks that the army could undertake that would free up more police for the front line. Cameron said he would seek American advice on ghting the street gangs he blamed for helping spark Britains riots.

U.S. and NATO forces have begun to leave Afghanistan. U.S. military ofcials have tried to counter those fears, saying that while the downing of the Chinook was a tragic setback, one crash will not determine the course of the war. The victims included 17 members of the elite Navy SEALs, ve Naval Special Warfare personnel who support the SEALs, three Air Force Special Operations personnel, an Army helicopter crew of ve, seven Afghan commandos and an Afghan interpreter. Gul Agha, another resident of Tangi Valley, also said that after the helicopter crashed, parts were burning on either side of the Tangi River. Some of the debris also ended up on a nearby hillside, he said. When the helicopter came at night, the Taliban were hiding in the bushes around the area, he said. He said coalition forces worked several days to remove victims remains. Then they blew up sections of the helicopter into smaller pieces, loaded them on trucks and took them from the site, he said.

Libyan rebels claim victory in capturing a key oil terminal


By Rami Al-Shaheibi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BENGHAZI, Libya Libyan rebels battling Moammar Gadhas troops along the countrys Mediterranean coast said they captured a key oil terminal Thursday that has repeatedly changed hands in the 6-month-old civil war. Rebel spokesman Mohammed al-Rijali said he was with the ghters in Brega when they gained control of the strategic port city, 125 miles (200 kilometers) southwest of the de-facto rebel capital of Benghazi, after three weeks of intense ghting. Brega is liberated, al-Rijali told the Associated Press after nightfall. Al-Rijali, who spoke over the telephone from nearby Ajdabiya, didnt provide any details or a casualty toll. His claim could not be immediately veried. Ofcials in the Libyan capital Tripoli made no comment on the rebel claim. Brega fell under rebel control briey in March, but was recaptured by Gadhas forces shortly afterward. The ghting around the city has gone back and forth since then, with the rebels not managing to keep their ground. Bregas capture would be an important boost for the rebels because whoever controls the strategic oil terminal, which is also Libyas second-largest hydrocarbon complex, is in charge of the countrys main oil elds. Another rebel spokesman, Mohammed al-Zawawi, said earlier Thursday that two rebels died in the days ghting in Brega, while 16 others were wounded.

ing updates on his website about his calls to the White House and his meetings with Cisco, he also gives a Damage Report which explains some of the challenges of single-handedly taking on these projects. In his Damage Report, he admits he cannot always remember meetings and phone calls due to his traumatic brain injury. He also discloses that his efforts are taking a toll nancially. The nancial status has leveled off at approximately $1,000 per veteran in what it has cost me, he said, adding he decided to invest in two assistants so in the fall he can balance his efforts with being a student. My assistants will most likely increase the average cost per veteran, but I feel that if I hold the line for at least three more months that it will be well worth the cost.

Continued from page 1
I use the analogy of the Samurai, he said. A Samurai is always looking for someone to work for and to be loyal to. Vahai, who now walks with a cane due to back injuries, left the military for medical reasons in 2007. His Purple Heart and Combat Action Ribbon awards are still pending because the Marines suspended the paperwork when he was medically discharged. When he returned home, he got a job with United Airlines, but was let go while on medical leave. Despite his rocky reentrance into civilian life, Vahai felt he was in a good place. The Bay Area is the best place in the country for veterans. The best VA hospitals, politicians, community colleges and jobs are all here, he said. After losing his job, he decided to enroll at Skyline College and now serves as president of the Skyline Veterans Alliance. He expected this past spring to be his last semester as president but his ambitious goals required him to continue on.

One last big favor


It all started last semester when he decided he wanted to do one last big favor for his vets. He asked them what they wanted and the veterans said they wanted jobs with Tesla, an electric car company based in Palo Alto. Vahai was instantly on board with their request. He liked Tesla not only because the company is a front-runner in electric vehicle industry, but because it is a great t for veterans, who have a natural inclination toward electronics. The project also aligned with Vahais desire to decrease Americas dependency on foreign oil. Involving veterans in the advancement of energy-efcient technologies benets everyone, he said. Veterans

gain meaningful employment, and the companies can grow and further energy independence. But securing green careers for veterans is not that simple. These companies are reluctant to hire in the unstable economy, said Vahai. He said he assumes much of the risk in his deals between companies, nonprots and politicians to secure green jobs for veterans. Im the one who gets the blame if something doesnt work out, he said. Ive risked my life in the past, so putting my name on the line doesnt seem that bad. Last semester, Vahai organized Skylines Veterans Earth Day which featured Tesla electric vehicles and an environmental speech by U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo. Tesla now employs ve veterans, but this success was only the beginning for Vahai. The veteran community caught wind of his success and his undertaking has grown. The veteran grapevine is better than AT&T, said Vahai, who is now getting calls from veterans all over the country wanting tech jobs. In a single day last week, Vahai attended meetings with Tesla, Green Machine Lighting, Project Hired, Genentech and Clear-Wall, an energy-efcient window company.

Transition back into society


Vahai hopes to eventually share the costs of his projects to other organizations, but, he said, the benet of spearheading his own individual projects has been that he is able to tailor them to the jobs that veterans really want, unlike many veteran organizations that often provide less appealing career substitutes. The projects also serve as an outlet for Vahais personal transition back into society. In a guest blog post on Craigslist founder Craig Newmarks blog, Vahai wrote: I used to like video games, going to movies, transformers, comic books, French kissing Now none of these things can make me feel real anymore. The only other thing that has saved my sanity is helping my fellow war dogs make it back home and I mean really make it back home. Vahai is currently working on several veteran and community events called From Guns to Green Jobs hosted by Clear-Wall, Tesla and Cisco.

Trust us, you cant go wrong with a visit here. Choco Lands (McLaren Pass) New to Outside Lands is McLaren Pass, a network of roads that lead to you to various places at the festival. Along the way, the organizers have placed a variety of goodies, maybe the most awesome of which is Choco Lands the name says it all. There you can nd Mission Minis Cupcakes, Sharonas Chocolate Shop (with edibles like chocolate covered potato chips, caramel Oreo and chocolate apples and Rocky Road cups) and Candybar, which will have chocolate mousse pops. Good luck keeping us out of there. The Barcade (Polo Field, East) For those needing a break from the music and the sun, Outside Lands will have the Barcade. So, if you love old school arcade games, this might be a fun place to take that break. The best part is the opportunity to get paid to play. Plus, the Barcarde offers a lounge and bar that is open all day (including a Happy Hour), along with a live band performance each afternoon. You can follow the Daily Journals coverage of the festival via Twitter. Follow @julitolara, @MissMurtagh, and @methodikalgee at #smdailyjournal and #OutsideLands. men left separately. A short while later, the woman reported, Fritzsching allegedly returned and pushed her into the wall while demanding the return of jewelry. The next day he appeared again and, when she threatened to call police, but he allegedly said nothing would happen to him because he was a cop, according to the District Attorneys Ofce. The Hillsborough Police Department placed Fritzsching on leave pending the outcome of his case. He no longer works for the department, said Capt. Mark OConnor.

Project Hired
Vahai is working with Project Hired, an organization that nds employment for disabled veterans, to nd them green jobs. He envisions veterans in wheelchairs as potential thermographers, taking thermal images of buildings to determine where heat is leaking out and how it could be more energy efcient. Vahai shares his project successes on his website, gc4vets.org, Green Careers For Veterans. Aside from his webmaster Noel, who he calls his secret weapon, Vahai is very much a one-man show. Along with sharElephant Mixtape. Venegas is a Latin American superstar whos enjoyed a super successful run as a solo artist the last eight years. Her third solo album, Si catapulted her to stardom and she hasnt looked back since. Venegas has frequented the Bay Area, most recently in October 2010 at the Fox Theater in Oakland. Her live set is well worth your time. The Roots (Twin Peaks Stage, Saturday at 6:50 p.m.) Without a doubt, the best band not headlining Outside Lands is The Roots, the hip- hop group out of Philadelphia. With their live instrumentals, jazz-inuenced beats and eclectic sound, their show at the Twin Peaks Stage on Saturday will be a highlight of the festival. The Roots formed in 1987 by Tariq Black Thought Trotter and Ahmir ?uestlove Thompson and has since established themselves as one of the freshest and smoothest bands, not just in hip-hop but anywhere. Most of that reputation comes from a live show that is rivaled by few. Pica Pica (South American cuisine) There will be over 60 food and drink choices at Outside Lands, but take it from us, for a little Latin American awesomeness, you will denitely want to take a swing by the Pica Pica food stand. Pica Pica is a South American restaurant that has its root in the Napa, but recently opened up in San Francisco, on the corner of 15th and Valencia they are Outside Lands veterans. Pica Pica is known for their arepas or a Prosecutors say Fritzsching, of San Jose, and the San Mateo woman dated for approximately 10 months before they broke up and she began dating another man. On April 13, he allegedly sent her several text messages before going to her home and, without knocking, entered the residence where she was watching the San Francisco Giants baseball game with her new boyfriend. Fritzsching was accused of grabbing a beer from the refrigerator and, during an argument with the woman, pushing her into the stove. The new boyfriend threatened to throw him out and both

positioned along the festival grounds. There is something for the wine-lovers (at Wine Lands), the Earth-lovers (with Eco Lands) and those who love something a little different (at the Barbary), as well. Five things you need to check out (besides the headliners of course) Of course everyone and their mama is going to storm over to see Muse, Arcade Fire and Phish, but there is plenty of other musts at Outside Lands this year some new and some old favorites. Julieta Venegas (Sutro Stage, Sunday at 3:50 p.m.) and Ana Tijoux (Twin Peaks Stage, Saturday at 12:45 p.m.) There will be plenty of solid female representation at Outside Lands, but two acts you may not have heard of and should denitely check out these two Latina artists. Tijoux is of French-Chilean decent who broke through with the hip-hop group Makiza in the late 1990s. But it was her collaboration with Venegas in Limon Y Sal that introduced her to the masses. Since then, Tijoux has taken off as a solo artist. In 2009 she released Oveja Negra, which re-released in 2010 by Nacional Records. TIjoux is smooth on the mic and her status as a legitimate female MC in the Latin hip-hop scene makes her worth your time. Shes currently promoting her newest project,

Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. We determined it did not meet the standard, Wagstaffe said. Fritzsching previously pleaded not guilty to both charges and was set for trial Sept. 12. Because the charges are misdemeanors, prosecutors did not have to test the strength of their case at a preliminary hearing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you fail to think for yourself, you can bet your bottom dollar that there will be someone who steps up and thinks for you. Unfortunately, you may not like the results. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Actions, not words, are what impress others, so all the talk in the world

wont cut the mustard. Unless you are prepared to back up what you say, you may be viewed as just another blowhard. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Generally, youre a reasonable person who looks before leaping. If you let your guard down, however, you might throw caution to the wind and gamble on what you shouldnt. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Important decisions need to be shared and resolved by both you and your mate. Each might see things differently and misinterpret what the other is thinking. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Unless you are a verifiable expert, you should not attempt to interpret and/or explain instructions on how to do something dangerous. If it misfires, you would be held accountable.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Adopting too

indifferent of an attitude about your resources could create severe problems for you down the line, and cause you to wonder why your funds ran out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Common sense and logical thinking will work for you in ways that your rabbits foot or four-leaf clover wont. Be sensible about how far you can go in pushing your luck. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Its always important to see things as they are and not as you want them to be. Know the difference between optimism and pure wishful thinking that can lead you astray. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Enjoy yourself in ways that wont decimate your wallet. In fact, expensive activities are likely to provide the least amount of

enjoyment for you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Although there is likely to be an abundance of opportunities for you to partake in, you arent likely to find the enjoyment in them that you normally would. Do something simple, and refresh your worldview. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Just because you got away with something in the past doesnt mean you will get to do so again. Besides, you should make a concerted effort not to repeat a major mistake. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Avoid going out with friends who have plenty of discretionary funds to spend that you dont. It could be embarrassing for you if you cant keep up with them and need to leave early. COPYRIGHT 2011 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
