Daly City police have identied a
mystery man who was arrested a
month ago for stealing frozen pizzas
from a Luckys supermarket.
The man, who had been in custody
since his May 30 arrest, hadnt said a
word to investigators, and police had
asked for the publics help earlier
this week in guring out his identity.
On Friday, police announced that
an investigator with the San Mateo
County Private Defender Program
had been able to identify the man as
Vincent Saguid, of San Francisco.
The day of the pizza theft, ofcers
responded to a Luckys store at 6843
Mission St. in Daly City after
employees called to report that
someone was
stealing from the

They found
Saguid with two
frozen pizzas and
a couple of
candy bars,
Barton said. He was not carrying any
identication and did not respond to
verbal commands or questions.
Saguid was briey observed in a
mental health unit then transferred to
jail, where he stayed for weeks,
unidentied.

Plans to expand the countys
Event Center in San Mateo and pos-
sibly add a hotel to help accommo-
date extra trade shows and events
received an added push by a con-
sultant group that said, essentially,
theres no time like the present.
The proclamation is enough to
move toward something more con-
crete than a wish list and endless
discussions, said Event Center
General Manager Chris Carpenter.
On Wednesday, the Expo Center
board of directors heard from
Conventions, Sports & Leisure, a
hired consulting rm, that it would
be best served by taking the next
steps. The rm noted the improving
economy, the Saratoga Drive cen-
ters location near Highway 101 and
said it was good t for corporate
business as well as trade shows.
At this point, we heard at least
there is not enough risk not to move
forward, Carpenter said.
However, that doesnt mean the
center is anywhere near putting a
shovel in the ground.
The firm also addressed the
potential risk in the project, particu-
larly quite a bit of competition
from nearby facilities like the large
ballroom of the Hyatt in
Burlingame and the South San
Francisco Conference Center which
is also undergoing a feasibility
study.
The Event Center hosts the annu-
al county fair as well as a diverse
range of events including floral
shows, sports tournaments, trade
shows, concerts and the very popu-
lar Maker Faire. The 48-acre site
includes seven halls, a satellite
wagering club and more than
195,000 square feet of meeting
space.
Stakeholders have long spoke of
improving existing facilities and
possibly adding overnight accom-
modations but didnt take concrete
steps until hiring the consulting rm
for approximately $70,000 to
research what could realistically
work.

A sense of community is visible
in North Central San Mateo. Front
yards are lled with friends catching
up after work. And sidewalks carry
playful kids holding hands. But in
this neighborhood, one of the most
diverse areas of San Mateo, building
a strong sense of togetherness takes
work.
While there could be great divi-
sions created by such differences,
the community here has united
around common goals of children,
safety and alcohol abuse prevention,
said Michelle Vilchez, executive
director of the Peninsula Conict
Resolution Center.
On Thursday, the PCRC honored
six unsung heroes nominated by the
community in its third annual
Everyday Heroes ceremony. The
event was held at the Martin Luther
King Community Center on Monte
Diablo Avenue.

As in years past, police and re
ofcials in Pacica and San Bruno
are preparing for a safe and sane
Fourth of July as they remind revel-
ers that there is a zero tolerance pol-
icy for the use of illegal reworks.
Seventeen booths in San Bruno
and 15 in Pacica are currently sell-
ing safe and sane reworks as they
are the only cities in the county that
can legally sell them. They are also
the only cities in the county that
allow for the use of safe and sane
reworks.
For many local nonprofit and
community organizations, the re-
works sales are the biggest fundrais-
ers of the year.
The San Bruno Lions Club is sell-
ing out of a bigger booth on El
Camino Real than in years past, said
Charles Smitty Smith.
It is one of our major fundraisers
we do every year with 100 percent
of the proceeds going back into our
programs, Smith said.
Business has been moderate so
far, he said, but sales will pick up
like crazy Tuesday and Wednesday,
Smith said.
In San Bruno, safe and sane re-
works can only be discharged from
noon until 10 p.m. then from noon
until midnight on July 4.
The use of safe and sane reworks
in San Bruno is limited to private
property and no safe and sane re-
works shall be discharged on public,
semi-public or private open areas
such as parking lots, vacant proper-
ty, or in public streets or rights-of-
way.
Children under 18 are also pro-
hibited from setting off safe and
sane reworks.
In Pacica, police remind resi-

Guys who like My Little
Pony gather for BronyCon
SECAUCUS, N.J. Dale Fjordbotten
is a proud My Little Pony fan, with the
shiny blue body suit and yellow lightning
bolt, blue wings and blue tail to prove it.
Like many Bronies boys and men
who like the cartoon My Little Pony:
Friendship is Magic the 25-year-old
college student turned out over the week-
end for BronyCon Summer 2012 at the
Meadowlands Exposition Center, which
drew 4,000 men, women, boys and girls,
many in colorful wigs and costumes.
I thought about what people would
say. Its creepy. Its weird. Its a ... show
for little girls, said Fjordbotten, from
Staten Island, N.Y. Its just a great
show ... the story line, the plot,
the beautiful animation.
Bronies say theyre a misunder-
stood lot whove gotten a bad rap
from the media. Theyre
all about the show,
friendship, love and
tolerance, and they
have no bad
intentions, they
say.
I discovered
that theres
nothing to be
ashamed of
being a Brony,
said 19-year-old
James Penna of
Mastic in Long Island, N.Y. People are
into what theyre into.
Outside the convention center, young
men danced and sang along with songs
from My Little Pony cartoon that blasted
from loud speakers as a video screen on a
large truck showed the shows characters.
One observer said it almost felt like a
Grateful Dead concert.
Inside, vendors sold stuffed ponies,
pony accessories, pony signs, pony hats
and just about every pony item imagina-
ble. Stars who do the shows voices
signed autographs and gave speeches.
Staff appeared to be a little over-
whelmed at times. It was just over a year
ago when BronyCon attracted about 100
people to some meeting rooms
in New York City. Now
there are thousands of
Bronies across the
country.
Hasbro released the
rst My Little Pony
toys in 1983, and they
led to television spe-
cials, a lm and the
rst TV series
from 1986 to
1987.
The brand stuck
around through the
years. But along
came animator Lauren
Faust, who was hired by
Hasbro and sparked new
life to My Little Pony
when she created the Friendship is
Magic series.
Faust had worked on The Powerpuff
Girls and Fosters Home for Imaginary
Friends before dreaming up the land of
Equestria, where My Little Pony charac-
ters like Twilight Sparkle, Apple Jack,
Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie get into all
kinds of adventures.
Faust told The Associated Press at
BronyCon on Saturday that she never
imagined the show would be such a hit
with teenage boys and young men. She
said her main target was little girls, but she
hoped to draw in moms and perhaps some
boys with strong characters and com-
pelling story lines.
We live in a society where saying that
something is for girls is the equivalent to
saying that something is stupid, or saying
that something isnt worthwhile, Faust
said.
I think thats awful and I think that
kind of attitude needs to be changed, she
said. And these men are doing it. ...
Theyre proud that theyre forward-think-
ing and modern enough to look past this
misogynistic attitude.
Faust said she, like the Bronies, is dis-
turbed at the negative images some people
have about men who like the show.
There are a lot of people who when
they rst hear about men watching a show
for little girls, theyre taken to a creepy
place, she said. They think theres some-
thing wrong with that, something devious
about it. I think thats unfortunate.

I
wasnt born in California. I was born in
the conservative Midwestern semi-rural
town of Sioux Falls, S.D. The area was
settled by mainly Germanic and Norwegian
stock in the mid-1800s. They were conserva-
tive people and they were conservative for a
good reason they had nothing when they
left Europe and still had nothing when they
entered the Midwest to farm on land that the
government had promised them. They began
farming the virgin prairie land that makes up
South Dakota. It was hard work. The temper-
ature was hot in the summer and cold in the
winter. To live there, they had to make do with
only what they could make or produce. In this
out-of-the-way region of the Midwest, the
industrial revolution only penetrated far
enough to sell the goods that were made in
factories in the east. These conservative, ded-
icated, hard-working, faithful people of labor
believed that hard work would make them
succeed in this new land.
I was born in a room above a mom and pop
grocery store with my aunt acting as a mid-
wife. She was our doctor. Within a few
months, we moved to a detached, one-room,
two-bedroom house on Eighth Avenue. My
dad rented. It had a yard of sorts, mostly of
weeds. Four of my brothers and sisters went
with me, plus my dad and mom. It was crowd-
ed but we at least had a roof over our heads.
The kitchen pantry was made into a bedroom
for my brothers and I slept on the oor. One
bedroom went to my sisters and the other bed-

Dad went off during the day to his 10-cent

MILLBRAE I
recently attended a
family funeral in
Southern California.
The burial took
place at a long
established Catholic
Cemetery which
later decided to build a Mortuary facility on
their property. I knew from past experience
that this cemetery was well maintained and
had a good reputation. The immediate
family had other loved-ones buried at the
cemetery and wished to return this time too.
With the knowledge that this cemetery had a
Mortuary on the grounds they trusted it to be
convenient and decided to have this facility
handle the funeral arrangements.
Prior to the funeral I had some phone
contact with the Mortuary staff and saw
nothing out of the ordinary. But soon after I
spoke to family members who relayed
troubling details such as higher than average
costs, questionable service and other
apprehensions that raised a red-fag. I
listened carefully taking into consideration
that funerals and arrangements may be
conducted differently in Southern California
(as compared to here on the Peninsula).
Later though I discovered that these
concerns and others were all valid as I
experienced them myself during the funeral.
Coming from the background of owning
a family run and community supportive
funeral home I was embarrassed at what I
saw as a production line process with little
compassion or time to care for the families
this Mortuary is supposed to be serving.
I wondered how the Catholic Church
could allow this Mortuary to operate in such
a manner? Well, I did some research and
discovered that the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles has mortuaries located on a
number of their cemetery properties, but
does not operate them. According to the
Funeral Consumers Alliance of Southern
California the Archdiocese has an
arrangement with Stewart Enterprises
which is a New Orleans based mortuary
corporation. Stewart Enterprises runs a
website called Catholic Mortuaries.com
giving a misleading impression to many that
the Catholic Church operates these facilities.
When patronizing one of these
mortuaries on Catholic cemetery grounds
most families assume that they will be
receiving a level of comfort as they would
from their local church or parish priest.
None of this was evident during my
experience of extremely high costs
(compared to what was received) and the
dis-interested service provided by the
mortuary staff. I dont see this as a failing
of the Catholic cemetery, but of those in
charge of running this mortuary.
The point Im trying to make is to do
your homework and shop for a Funeral
establishment you are comfortable with.
Just because a Mortuary is located on
cemetery property doesnt mean they are
your only choice or that they offer fair costs
or give better quality ofservice. You have
the right to select what ever funeral home
you wish to conduct the arrangements. Talk
to various funeral directors, and ask friends
and families who they would recommend.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

house and planted a garden. Potatoes, carrots,
celery, tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, etc. were
planted and the kids weeded it (or were sup-
posed to) when dad was working. There was a
Morrells Meat Packing Plant in town but my
father never went there for his meat. He knew a
number of farmers and he bargained for a quar-
ter of a pig or cow whenever he could and
kept the meat in the girls room (in the win-
ter) as we had only an ice-box. The ice-box
was used mainly in the summer when we
went to the icehouse for 25 pound blocks of
ice, which we put on the front bumper of the
car and took home. The temperature of the
ice-box did not get low enough to keep food
edible very long but that was no problem in
our household as almost all food was eaten
within a day of the folks bringing it home. I
could never gure out how my parents ever had
enough money to feed the large family.
When the garden began producing food, any
excess was canned by my mother. The potatoes
kept well in the dirt basement of the house so we
always had plenty of spuds for eating.
When Wednesday evening came, Mom and
Dad, as well as many of their friends would go
to the movie. My oldest sister would baby-sit the
rest of the kids. It cost 10 cents and Wednesday
was dish night. With a purchase of a ticket,
you were eligible for the drawing between fea-
tures and the prize was a glass or a dish.
Winning a dish was a big item in their lives and
they would talk about it for weeks if they won.
After the show, my parents gave themselves a
treat by stopping at the Hamburger Inn and pur-
chasing a 10-cent hamburger and they would
split a malted milk shake.
Saturday night was a big night for my dad.
He worked six days a week but he got Sunday
off. My parents used Saturday night to go shop-
ping for the weekly goods that we didnt raise.
They would dress up in their best clothes and
drive downtown to Piggly Wiggly one of the
rst supermarket of the 30s. There were mom
and pop grocery stores in the neighborhood, but
we only bought from them in an emergency.
Their prices were too high for us and Piggly
Wiggly had lower prices and a better overall
selection of merchandise. This trip out for the
day allowed him to go to the caf counter and
buy a good fresh cup of coffee and two dough-
nuts for a nickel. What a bargain. He could sit
at the counter and wait for mom who usually
took about an hour to shop. Because the men
worked all week, 10-hour days, most didnt
have the time to socialize so it was also an occa-
sion for dad to get together with other husbands
and shoot the breeze. Actually, their sessions
were very benecial to the men because they
found out where a job might be found, who may
need help xing their car/truck, when he could
nd parts for his car or material to x things in
the house, etc.
All of this conservative living made an
impression on me and I retained much of their
attitude and habits in my life when I broke away
from the Midwest and made my home in
California in the late 1950s.

will be ongoing since 21-year-old McCarty
is one of 34 teachers nationwide who were
awarded the Knowles Science Teaching
Foundation fellowship. The $175,000
investment over five years means McCarty, a
Redwood City native, will take part in a
multi-layered program that includes profes-
sional and leadership development, teaching
tools and materials and access to like-mind-
ed professionals.
One of the big things, the reason I really
decided to stick with teaching as a profes-
sion, was seeing the inequalities in educa-
tion, he said. And, wanting to do my part
to help narrow the achievement gap.
McCarty began informally being intro-
duced to teaching while enrolled at St.
Ignatius College Preparatory in San
Francisco. It started with people simply ask-
ing questions which then turned into tutor-
ing. McCarty soon realized he needed to
truly understand something to help others.
High school offered a number of experi-
ences for McCarty like being a physics
teachers assistant, which solidified his
desire to teach.
It was also while in high school that
McCarty took an astronomy class and fur-
thered his interest in the stars. He recently
graduated from the University of California
at Berkeley with a degree in astrophysics.
He considered teaching at the college level
but enjoyed the idea of reaching students
before they had chosen a career path.
I really liked the idea of high school
being able to teach all students, students
who may not be interested in taking physics.
In college, youre selecting your classes.
Never get the chance to try to inspire them,
said McCarty.
Despite graduating in May, McCarty only
more recently finished his credential pro-
gram. It was through Cal Teach at Berkeley
that McCarty learned of the Knowles fellow-
ship opportunity. For McCarty, the fellow-
ship allows him access to a community with
which he can collaborate. He can work with
teachers throughout the country to share
ideas and offer support.
As a recent graduate, McCarty is current-
ly searching for a teaching position for the
fall. Hes hoping to stay in the Bay Area.
I hope to work in a heterogeneous class-
room using complex instruction and model-
ing to engage all students and present oppor-
tunities for them to utilize their diversity of
skills and experiences to help the classroom
learn, McCarty said.

STATE/LOCAL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry
Browns ambitious plan to start
building the nations rst dedicated
high-speed rail line is set for a piv-
otal vote by the Legislature this
week with some state lawmakers
still skeptical about spending bil-
lions in the Central Valley.
Brown is pushing lawmakers to
authorize $2.7 billion in voter-
approved state bonds for construc-
tion on the rst 130-mile stretch of
high-speed rail from Madera to
Bakerseld. Brown has made the
massive infrastructure project one of
his priorities for the year and says
the state has to act fast in order to
capture billions of dollars in addi-
tional federal support.
Suck it in, Brown told an audi-
ence gathered last month for the
75th anniversary of the Golden Gate
Bridge. We got
to build, we got
to do it right.
W h i l e
D e mo c r a t i c
leaders who
control both
houses of the
Legislature sup-
port the bullet
train, they con-
cede that a legislative vote to
authorize state bonds faces a tight
vote, particularly in the Senate.
Because Republicans oppose the
project, at least 21 Democratic sen-
ators are needed to pass legislation
on a simple majority vote. The proj-
ect also faces GOP opposition in
Congress.
Well see where it goes, Senate
President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg
of Sacramento said last week.
Critics of high-speed rail say its
not clear where most of the con-
struction funding will come from.
They call the project too expensive
and unnecessary. Recent polls show
tepid support for a bullet train even
though California voters authorized
a total of $9 billion in what was
intended to be the rst round of
bond nancing back in 2008.
Once complete, the $68 billion
bullet train would connect Los
Angeles with San Francisco.
Dissenting Democratic lawmak-
ers have suggested instead using
bonds to improve existing rail sys-
tems within those densely populated
areas. Sen. Mark DeSaulnier, chair-
man of the Senate Transportation
and Housing Committee, said he
wont support the plan because
theres too much risk in placing the
line in the Central Valley and too
much uncertainty that the whole
project will get done. He said with
resources stretched, the state should
focus on other needs such as educa-
tion and health care.
Sometimes its like a car you
really wanted and it was a really
good deal, and youre walking away
from a good deal but you just cant
afford it, said the lawmaker from
Concord.
Ive always said I was prepared
to support high-speed rail done
right, said Sen. Joe Simitian, D-
Palo Alto, another skeptic. But
frankly the High-Speed Rail
Authority has struggled to deliver a
project that ts that description.
Lawmakers are under pressure
from labor groups that say the proj-
ect is sorely needed because it will
bring jobs, particularly to the
Central Valley region that has high-
er-than-average unemployment.
The Obama administration has
threatened to rescind $3.3 billion in
federal grants if the Legislature
doesnt appropriate its share of
funding.
The governor is counting on those
federal funds and the $2.7 billion in
state bonds for a total of $6 billion
to build the rst segment. California
was able to secure more than
expected after Florida, Ohio and
Wisconsin turned down federal
money.
Transportation Secretary Ray
LaHood met with legislative leaders
in Sacramento last month and told
them not to delay the decision. The
Federal Railway Administration has
said the money must be used for the
Central Valley segment.
Steinberg, the Senate leader, said
the Legislature will vote this week
to authorize the state bond. Another
$800 million or so will be dedicated
for upgrades in Northern and
Southern California.
Bullet train up for contentious vote
Jerry Brown
SACRAMENTO Car buyers,
ducks and geese, and those in search of
tattoos or body piercing all get increased
protections under new laws that take
effect July 1.
Most bills passed by the Legislature
and signed by the governor take effect
on Jan. 1 each year. But all or part of
about two-dozen other laws are taking
effect at midyear, including measures to
discourage bullies and encourage low-
income seniors to eat healthier.
Californias nation-leading ban on the
culinary delicacy foie gras has received
the most attention. The product is creat-
ed by force-feeding ducks or geese
through funnel-like tubes until their liv-
ers grow to more than 10 times their nor-
mal size. State lawmakers voted to out-
law the practice known as gavage when
they passed Senate Bill 1520 in 2004.
But they gave producers a seven-year
window until July 1, when it will no
longer be legal to produce or sell foie
gras -- French for fatty liver -- in
California.
The state will also enact a rst-in-the-
nation law to protect those shopping for
used cars.
Starting today, car dealers must mark
vehicles with bright red warning stickers
if they are listed in the National Motor
Vehicle Title Information System data-
base as junk, salvage or inundated dur-
ing oods. Recreational vehicles, motor-
cycles and off-highway vehicles are
exempted from the requirement.
California is a dumping ground for
salvage cars. Were the biggest market.
We have a lot of young people and low
income people, a lot of immigrants and
military people, said Rosemary
Shahan, president of Sacramento-based
Consumers for Auto Reliability and
Safety. What we tell consumers is any-
time youre buying a used car, look for
that red warning sticker. If its there, you
dont want that car.
The consumer protection was a trade-
off for letting dealers raise the fee they
can charge for titles and registrations
from $55 to $80.
Assembly Bill 1215 by
Assemblyman Bob Blumenfield, D-
Sherman Oaks, also requires car deal-
ers to begin registering vehicles elec-
tronically, a step projected to save the
state more than $9 million annually by
reducing paperwork at the Department
of Motor Vehicles.
Tattoo and piercing artists and those
who apply permanent cosmetics will
have to register each year with a local
government and meet minimum
statewide standards under another new
law.
The Safe Body Art Act, AB 300 by
Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, D-San
Francisco, requires that practitioners be
vaccinated against Hepatitis B and
receive training in rst aid, cardiopul-
monary resuscitation and preventing
infections.
New laws affect foie gras, junk cars, more
UO popular with California students
EUGENE, ORE. More than 4,500 Californians enrolled
at the University of Oregon in fall 2010, breaking a record.
California is the largest and fastest-growing producer of
Duck recruits outside of Oregon.
The Register-Guard (http://is.gd/wiKQvg ) says its a trend
driven by the UOs aggressive marketing efforts and the
schools desire for students who pay out-of-state tuition.
Californians now account for nearly one out of every ve
UO students. They also account for a majority of the UOs
overall student growth.
Now incoming UO President Michael Gottfredson is head-
ing to Oregon from Orange County, Calif.
Californians have a symbiotic relationship with the univer-
sity. They spend more than triple the tuition rates paid by
Oregon students and the UO provides a welcoming, small-
town college with a winning football team and a fanatical fan
base.
Oakland teen facing charges for punching girl
SAN LEANDRO A 17-year-old Oakland boy is facing
charges after police say he punched a teenage girl in the face
at a Bay Area Rapid Transit station.
BART police say ofcers were called to the Bayfair station in
San Leandro around 7 p.m. Saturday when about 70 teens gath-
ered in a bus zone area near the station and a ght broke out.
BART police Lt. John Conneely told the Contra Costa
Times (http://bit.ly/KMxyaC ) that after punching the girl, the
teen ran from ofcers, with one of the ofcers deploying his
Taser stun gun.
Conneely says the boy was not shocked by the Taser
because he was only hit by one probe from the device.

WASHINGTON Republican
congressional leaders said Sunday
that voters not the Supreme
Court will have the nal word on
President Barack Obamas health
care law come November. And they
are betting that the laws unpopular-
ity will be enough to drive
Democrats from power.
The White Houses response?
Bring it on.
Weve got one last chance here
to beat Obamacare, and we can do
that in the November election, said
Senate Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell, calling the law the sin-
gle worst piece of legislation
passed in modern times.
White House chief of staff Jack
Lew countered that he believes most
Americans want to put the health
care debate to rest.
I actually think the American
people want us to focus on the econ-
omy, on creating jobs and moving
forward, said Lew.
Republicans and Democrats have
been wrangling for the upper hand
in the health care debate since last
weeks Supreme
Court ruling
upholding the
laws mandate
that individuals
buy health insur-
ance or face a
penalty. Chief
Justice John
Roberts, a con-
servative, pro-
vided the pivotal vote in that deci-
sion by ruling that the penalty was
legal under the governments taxing
authority.
While technically handing a polit-
ical victory to Obama, Roberts rul-
ing invigorated Republicans eager
to cast the law as a new tax.
The American people do not
want to go down this path, said
House Majority Leader John
Boehner, R-Ohio. They do not
want the government telling them
what kind of insurance policy they
have to buy, and how much they
have to pay for it, and if you dont
like it were going to tax you.
Democrats refute the characteri-
zation of the law. Lew said the man-
date would impact only 1 percent of
Americans those who can afford
health insurance but refuse to buy it.
This is a penalty on free riders,
said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
Yet public opposition to the
health care law remains high. Forty-
seven percent of respondents in a
recent Associated Press-GfK poll
said they oppose the law while 33
percent said they support it.
However, much of the polling
does nd strong support for individ-
ual elements, like allowing young
adults to remain on their parents
plan to age 26. Some Democrats see
that as an opening to reframe the
debate.

Storms kill 13, cut power to millions
WASHINGTON Millions across the
mid-Atlantic region sweltered Saturday in the
aftermath of violent storms that pummeled the
eastern U.S. with high winds and downed
trees, killing at least 13 people and leaving 3
million without power during a heat wave.
Power ofcials said the outages wouldnt be
repaired for several days to a week, likening
the damage to a serious hurricane.
Emergencies were declared in Maryland, West
Virginia, Ohio, the District of Columbia and
Virginia, where Gov. Bob McDonnell said the
state had its largest non-hurricane outage in
history, as more storms threatened. This is a
very dangerous situation, the governor said.
In West Virginia, 232 Amtrak passengers
were stranded Friday night on a train that was
blocked on both sides by trees that fell on the
tracks, spending about 20 hours at a rural sta-
tion before buses picked them up. And in
Illinois, storm damage forced the transfer of
dozens of maximum-security, mentally ill
prisoners from one prison to another.
Texas DA accused of
allowing killer to escape
BROWNSVILLE, Texas Shortly after
her daughter was shot to death by a former
lover, Hermila Garcia remembers hearing
these comforting words from the local Texas
prosecutor: I am the state. I am the law. I am
going to represent and defend your daughter.
Cameron County District Attorney Armando
Villalobos ofce did secure a murder convic-
tion and 23-year prison term against Amit
Livingston, but federal prosecutors allege he
also orchestrated a scheme to line his own
pockets that allowed Livingston to escape.
Five years later, the killer remains at large.
A dozen people, half lawyers, have been
indicted as part of a federal probe into what
some observers call the most widespread case
of judicial corruption theyve ever seen. The
saga has gripped the community in this south-
ernmost tip of Texas. Besides Villalobos, two
others charged were present the day
Livingston dodged prison: Abel Limas, the
judge who presided over the murder trial, and
Eduardo Eddie Lucio, a lawyer who repre-
sented the victims children in a civil case.

BEIRUT Syrias main opposi-
tion groups rejected on Sunday a
new international plan that calls for
a transitional government because
the compromise agreement did not
bar President Bashar Assad from
participating.
Their reaction held out little hope
for an end to more than 15 months
of carnage on a day when the main
opposition group said 800 people
were killed in violence in the past
week alone.
Opposition activists groups say
more than 14,000 people have been
killed since the uprising against
President Bashar Assads authori-
tarian rule began in March 2011, or
on average about 900 a month. That
would make last weeks toll alone
almost as high as the monthly aver-
age as government forces furiously
pounded rebellious towns and cities
with helicopters, tanks and artillery
in an offensive aimed at recovering
rebel-held territories.
World powers at a conference in
Geneva on Saturday accepted a
U.N.-brokered plan calling for cre-
ation of a transitional national unity
government with full executive
powers in Syria. But at Russias
insistence, the compromise agree-
ment left the door open to Assad
being part of the interim administra-
tion. It could also include members
of Assads government and the
opposition and other groups. The
transitional government would
oversee the drafting of a new consti-
tution and elections.
However Syrias fragmented
opposition has long opposed any
solution that involved negotiating
with Assad or allowing him to cling
to power.
Bassma Kodmani, a Paris-based
spokeswoman for the main opposi-
tion group, the Syrian National
Council (SNC), said the agreement
is ambiguous and lacks a mecha-
nism or timetable for implementa-
tion. She said there were some pos-
itive elements in the plan, which
implies that all members of the
Security Council were in agreement
that the transition period must not
be led by Assad. But she said this
needs to be more explicit.
We cannot say that there is any
positive outcome today,
Kodmani said.
The regime did not react to the
plan. But Assad has repeatedly said
his government has a responsibility
to eliminate terrorists his term
for those ghting the regime and
will not accept any non-Syrian
model of governance.
Fayez Sayegh, a prominent law-
maker and member of the ruling
Baath party, expressed satisfaction
at the outcome of the conference,
saying participants left it up to the
Syrian people to decide their fate
and form of governance.
The conference ... did not dis-
cuss matters that have to do with the
president as Western countries
would have wished, Sayegh told
the Associated Press.
The need for a solution to the
Syrian crisis is growing more urgent
by the day with the sharp escalation
in violence and deaths and the con-
ict threatening to spill across bor-
ders.
Syria shot down a warplane from
neighboring Turkey on June 22 and
Turkey responded by setting up
anti-aircraft guns along the frontier.
Turkey said Sunday it scrambled
ghter jets to its border after Syrian
helicopters ew too close to the
frontier.
But any hopes for a quick break-
through were dashed by the opposi-
tions rejection to the brand new ini-
tiative, likely relegating it to the lat-
est in a series of failures by the
international community to unify
and stop Assads crackdown on dis-
sent.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Shamir dies at 96
JERUSALEM Yitzhak Shamir was a ghter for the Jews
long before Israels creation, an underground leader who led
militias against the Arabs and British.
He made no apologies and no compromises not as an under-
ground ghter, an intelligence agent who hunted Nazis, and as one
of Israels longest-serving prime ministers who refused to bargain
for land. The 96-year-old Shamir, who clung throughout his life to
the belief that Israel should hang onto territory and never trust an
Arab regime, died Saturday at a nursing home in Herzliya, north
of Tel Aviv. He had suffered from Alzheimers disease.
Shamir was Israels seventh prime minister, serving as premier
for seven years, from 1983-84 and 1986-92, leading his party to
election victories twice, despite lacking much of the outward
charisma that characterizes many modern politicians. Barely
over 5 feet tall and built like a block of granite, he projected an
image of uncompromising strength during the rst intifada, or
Palestinian uprising against Israel in the West Bank and Gaza.
World brief
MEXICO CITY Mexicos voters
appeared poised to bring the old guard
back to power on Sunday in a mostly
quiet and orderly vote that was marked
by a heavy police and troop presence in
violence-plagued parts of the country.
The former ruling Institutional
Revolutionary Party, known as the PRI,
led by telegenic former Mexico State Gov.
Enrique Pena Nieto, has held a strong lead
throughout the campaign. The party, voted
out of the presidency in 2000 after 71
years in power, also appeared likely to
retake at least a plurality in the two hous-
es of Congress and some governorship.
The party has been bolstered by voter
fatigue with a sluggish economy and the
sharp escalation of a drug war that has
killed roughly 50,000 Mexicans over the
past six years. The desire for change
suddenly works to benefit the PRI,
which ran Mexico from 1929 to 2000,
and many see their victory as inevitable.
If I vote for someone else, its still a
vote for Pena Nieto. We know hes going
to win, said Marma Teresa Alva
Cornejo, 60, a housewife in Mexico
City. I hope he does things well.
There were very few reports of prob-
lems, though some polling stations ran
out of ballots and at least nine people are
arrested in the southern state of Chiapas
for trying to pass ballots pre-marked the
PRI. By late Sunday, all the polls had
closed except for in two western states.
Interior Secretary Alejandro Poire said
that across the country federal security
forces were working closely with local and
state authorities, as well as electoral of-
cials, to guard the peace during the vote.
In Morelos, where there had been
threats and at least one attack on a local
candidate during the campaign,
patrolling was discreet. The northeastern
state of Tamaulipas, scene of erce ght-
ing among cartels, reported more than
10,000 police, army and marina
throughout the state, while marine pres-
ence was heavy in the port of Lazaro
Cardenas in Michoacan, the site of elec-
tion-related cartel threats during state
elections last fall.
He said he was aware of some isolat-
ed incidents, but declined to provide
details. I dont want to give importance
to any in particular, Poire said.
It would be a once-unthinkable come-
back for the PRI, which many believed
was doomed after its 2000 loss and which
was still reeling in the last presidential
election, when it nished a weak third.
Sergio Ortega, a 31 year old business-
man from the city of Guadalajara, said
he would vote against Pena Nieto to try
to prevent return of the PRI.
He had too much favoritism. They
played many tricks, Ortega said.
Pena Nieto has cast himself as a prag-
matic economic moderate in the tradition
of the last three PRI presidents. He has
called for greater private investment in
the state-controlled oil industry, and has
said he will try to reduce violence by
attacking crimes that hurt ordinary citi-
zens while deemphasizing the pursuit of
drug kingpins.

OPINION 9
High-tech equals high calories
Editor,
I see the desire to replace food in the
school system with healthy alternatives.
When I was in school during the 80s,
our lunch menu consisted of sugar
sodas (diet was just starting), corn
dogs, pizza, cheeseburgers and French
fries. Obesity epidemics were no prob-
lem then. Today, however, everywhere I
go teenagers are on their laptops, EA
games, PlayStation, Madden 2000, you
name it. I dont see the young folk
today playing touch football in the
street, basketball after school, or even
riding their bikes around town. To me
this is the real problem, because if a 17
year-old guy cant work off a slice of
pizza, then I dont see much hope for
us all.
To me, the real answer to obesity
(especially with teenagers) is to nd
ways to keep them living active
lifestyles, without the use of computers
doing everything for them in their daily
lives. I think that people need to be
more aware of how much the high-tech
age we live in is taking away from the
old ways that used to keep most of us
healthy.

Letters to the editor
Guest perspective
By Anne Oliva
F
irst, do no harm. Sounds simplis-
tic, but its the bottom line when
it comes to your homeowners
exemption (more formally, the mort-
gage interest deduction or MID). The
MID allows taxpayers who own their
homes to reduce their taxable income by
the amount of interest paid on the loan.
In fact, this deduction has been part of
the U.S. tax code since the inception of
the income tax nearly a century ago, so
its very likely your parents and your
grandparents were able to benet from
the MID. However, this consumer benet
now sits squarely in the crosshairs of the
presidents proposed budget.
President Obamas budget recom-
mends reducing the value of all itemized
deductions for those in the tax brackets
above 28 percent. For example, an item-
izer in the 35 percent bracket would only
be able to deduct as if he were in the 28
percent bracket (i.e., a 20 percent reduc-
tion in amount deductible).
And thats one of the primary miscon-
ceptions about cutting the MID; that only
the wealthy benet when in reality, it
benets primarily middle- and lower-
income families. Almost two-thirds of
those who claim the MID are middle-
income earners and 91 percent of people
who claim the MID
earn between
$50,000 and
$200,000 per year
(In San Mateo
County, thats just
over 45 percent of
the population).
How does the MID
work? As taxpayers
itemize deductions,
the total itemized deductions must
exceed the standard deduction (other-
wise, itemization would not reduce your
taxes). Second, the MID is limited to
interest on debts secured by a principal
residence or a second home. Third, inter-
est is deductible on the rst $1 million of
debt used for acquiring, constructing, or
substantially improving the residence, or
the rst $100,000 of home equity debt
regardless of the purpose or use of the
loan.
Fact is, most homeowners itemize for
the MID. And in todays market, seven
out of 10 home buyers must borrow
money to buy a house. For aspiring
homeowners who dont have hundreds
of thousands of dollars in savings to
buy a home outright, tax benets like
the MID help them begin building their
future through homeownership.
The San Mateo County Association
of Realtors (SAMCAR) in concert with
the National Association of Realtors
(NAR) has been actively lobbying
Congress about the importance of pre-
serving these real estate tax provisions
as is.
Because of the capitalization impact
of the expected stream of future mort-
gage interest deductions, decreasing or
removing (also debated) the mortgage
interest deduction would be destroying
up to $2.5 trillion in housing wealth,
according to NAR. That includes the
wealth of homeowners who own their
homes free and clear. Thats a big hit
on a familys pocketbook anytime
but especially now.
Todays homeowners, who pay 80
percent to 90 percent of the federal
income tax in this country, are already
doing their share. We cannot afford to
increase the already heavy tax burden
carried by these homeowners. As the
voice for real estate in San Mateo
County, SAMCAR is ghting to ensure
balancing the federal budget is not done
on the backs of American homeowners.

R
uling on two cases involving
14-year-old murderers, the U.S.
Supreme Court rightly struck
down laws in 28 states that require some
minors convicted of murder to be sen-
tenced to life without the possibility of
parole. Unfortunately, the justices
stopped short of prohibiting all such sen-
tences, thereby muddying the legal
waters and making it likely that they will
have to consider future cases from
states, such as California, where that
penalty is permissible but not required.
The 5-4 decision involved two crimes.
Kuntrell Jackson participated in an
attempted holdup of a video store in
Arkansas in which another boy shot a
clerk to death. Evan Miller was convict-
ed by an Alabama court, along with a
16-year-old friend, of killing a neighbor
by beating him and setting his trailer on
re. The question was whether, despite
these offenses, it amounted to cruel and
unusual punishment to deny Jackson and
Miller a chance at some point to demon-
strate that they had reformed.
In a 2005 ruling prohibiting capital
punishment for juveniles, the court,
reecting the ndings of psychologists
and neurologists, cited three differences
between younger teenagers and adults:
Adolescents are likelier than adults to
display a lack of maturity and an
underdeveloped sense of responsibility;
they are more susceptible to negative
inuences and peer pressure; and the
character of a juvenile is not as well
formed as that of an adult. Using the
same reasoning, the court in 2010 ruled
that states could not sentence juveniles
to life in prison without the possibility of
parole for non-homicide crimes.
Whatever the explanation, the court
has not yet done away with the need for
legislation such as Californias pro-
posed SB 9 to make it possible for
juveniles convicted of even the most
heinous crimes to prove that they are
entitled to another chance.

almost complete and the site was getting
ready for the memorial. Meanwhile, there was
an architectural contest for the best design which was won
by David Libeskind. But then the bickering began. There
was a debate over how to memorialize the thousands of
victims and how and who should pay for it. Though the
memorial was supposed to be completed on the 10th
anniversary of 9/11, a combination of politics, financial
problems and legal squabbles led to many delays. Today,
however the 9/11 memorial
is well on its way to join-
ing the exclusive ranks of
our nations finest monu-
ments.
Thousands of people,
according to the guides
who are stationed through-
out the memorial and wel-
come your questions, come
every day from every cor-
ner of the United States
and the world to visit the
site. Admission is free but
you need a visitors pass in
advance which is best secured on line (9/11memorial.org).
After you pass through the zigzagging security lines, you
are finally in a huge space which aside from the construc-
tion noise is amazingly quiet. The memorial will occupy
about half of the former 16-acre World Trade Center site.
Two gigantic pools each about an acre in size and set
in the footprints of the original Twin Towers are now
complete and the star attraction. Thirty-foot waterfalls
the largest in North America cascade down the pool
walls and descend into a center void. The effect is both
mesmerizing and serene. I dont know what
architect/designers Michael Arad and Peter Walker had in
mind (they named it Reflecting Absence) but to me it
was a reaffirmation of life.
***
We have seen the figures before. The 9/11 attacks killed
2,977 people from more than 90 nations. The oldest vic-
tim was 85 and the youngest, two. More than 400 were
first responders who died trying to save others. Yet the
enormity of what happened that day hits you again when
you see the endless names of the victims inscribed in
bronze parapets around the pools.
Almost complete are the glass and steel museum pavil-
ion which houses two steel trident-forked columns from
the original facade of the North Tower. They were recov-
ered during the cleanup. The museum will chronicle the
events of 9/11, and the national and international response
which followed. An exhibition will honor the individual
lives of the nearly 3,000 victims.
Also almost complete, and all eyes were lifted upwards
to watch, is 1 World Trade Center. At 1,776 feet, it will be
the tallest building in the United States. Originally called
the Freedom Tower, it was renamed because of concerns
the name would make too tempting a target for future ter-
rorists. Both the museum and 1 World Trade Center are
expected to be finished next year.
***
The site will also include a new transit hub designed by
Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. Two additional
office buildings will be completed by 2015. The original
World Trade Center was a 16-acre commercial complex
which included seven buildings, a large plaza and an
underground shopping mall. The Twin Towers were more
than 1,360 feet tall. They provided office space for 35,000
people and 430 companies. It was big enough to have its
own zip code. On 9/11, the entire complex was destroyed.
In 1993, Islamist terrorists detonated explosives in the
garage underneath the World Trade Center and killed six
people and injured thousands. The victims of the 1993
attack are included in the new memorial.
***
How fitting to allow visitors to watch the ongoing con-
struction. Those who remember the original Twin Towers,
the emptiness and cleanup which followed 9/11, and visit
the site today, have witnessed the rebirth of something
new and awesome. But most important, this memorial,
much like the Holocaust museums, remind us never to
forget. On this fourth of July, a holiday of joy and cele-
bration, the new 9/11 memorial shows once again that
Americans have the know-how to do things right.

BUSINESS 10
By Bernard Condon
NEW YORK For all the scary
headlines a bailout of Spanish banks,
JPMorgans huge trading loss, the sput-
tering job market, Facebooks failed ini-
tial public offering its a wonder
stocks arent down more this year.
Actually, stocks arent down. That was
a trick sentence. At the halfway mark for
2012, stocks are up more than 8 percent.
People think were down because
memories are short, says Rex Macey,
chief investment ofcer at Wilmington
Trust Investment Advisors. It feels like
the markets been worse than it actually
has.
The year began with investors focus-
ing on corporate Americas record prof-
its and scooping up stocks. The Standard
& Poors 500 index surged 12 percent
from January through March.
It looked like that gain might be wiped
out in the second quarter. Investors wor-
ried about Europes inability to nd a
lasting solution to its debt crisis and
about slower job growth in the United
States.
Then came Friday: European leaders
announced a broad strategy to funnel
money into failing banks and keep bor-
rowing costs down for governments, and
stocks soared around the world.
It all left the S&P 500 up a healthy 8.3
percent for the year.
What happens next will probably
depend on corporate earnings again. For
April through June, they are expected to
fall 0.7 percent from a year ago, accord-
ing to S&P Capital IQ, a research rm.
That would be the rst drop in nearly
three years.
So far, though, stocks in the U.S. are
trouncing those in many countries.
European markets are nearly all down
this year, and several are down more
than 10 percent. And many big emerging
markets are struggling. China is down 1
percent, Russia 7 percent and Brazil 14
percent.
The backdrop is a darkening econom-
ic picture. Chinas economy is slowing,
consumer condence in the U.S. has
sunk for four straight months, and a
report next Friday is expected to show a
fourth straight month of weak job
growth.
As if that werent bad enough, U.S.
companies, from retailers to consumer
goods makers to technology rms, are
talking down investor expectations for
how much theyll earn over the next sev-
eral months, and that is sinking their
stocks.
In mid-June, defense contractor AAR
dropped 11 percent after cutting its out-
look. Then Philip Morris fell 3 percent
after it trimmed earnings estimates.
Ryder System, a truck leasing company,
reined in guidance last week and fell 13
percent.
Then theres the sorry case of Bed
Bath & Beyond, which had been an
investor favorite. It lowered earnings
estimates June 21 and disclosed it had to
give out more coupons to get people to
shop.
The stock plummeted 17 percent,
erasing in hours most of what it gained
over several months.
Tally them up, and for every company
raising its expected earnings, nearly four
are lowering them, according to
Thomson Reuters, a nancial informa-
tion company. Projections havent been
that negative in more than a decade.
Surprise: Stocks are
having a strong year
NEW YORK Who knew the calen-
dar could cause so much vacation heart-
burn?
For the first time in five years
Independence Day falls on a Wednesday,
leaving travelers unsure when to cele-
brate and worrying those who make a
living off tourists.
The midweek holiday seems to have
travelers confused, said Anthony Del
Gaudio, vice president of hotel sales for
Loews Hotels, which isnt seeing the
normal July Fourth spike in bookings.
Those who sell vacations say this
years calendar gives Americans more
options: Tack on Saturday through
Tuesday or Thursday through Sunday to
the holiday, or just take the entire week
off.
But consumers condence has been
waning. Now, some arent happy about
having to burn an extra vacation day or
two to get that long weekend. From 2008
through 2011, the work holiday fell on
either Friday or Monday, so employees
and their families got an automatic
three-day weekend, similar to Memorial
Day and Labor Day.
Its irritating because everybody
wants those three, four-day holiday
weekends. We got gypped this year,
said Tom Donohue, who runs an HIV
awareness program based in
Charlottesville, Va.
In recent years, hes traveled to see
family in Pennsylvania, including his
father whose birthday is on July 2.
Theres swimming and boating on the
Susquehanna River and of course
reworks.
Not this year. Donohue plans to stay
local, savings those days off for an
actual vacation, a Caribbean cruise in
October.
Others are determined to have their
summer holiday no matter what.
Midweek July Fourth causes muddle for travelers
NEW YORK Highway signs throughout New York warn
that when it comes to catching speeders, the long arm of the
law extends even into the sky. State Police aircraft used in
speed enforcement, they say.
Actually, lead-footed drivers hitting the interstates for the
Independence Day holiday can keep their eyes on the road. The
New York State Police, who once routinely used planes to clock
motorists, havent written a single ticket in that manner since at
least 2005.
It hasnt been entirely eliminated, Sgt. Kern Swoboda, a
state police spokesman, said of the signs. We still have the air-
planes.
But in these budget-conscious times, he said, launching air-
craft to catch speeders just isnt scally prudent.
New York is one of several states to scale back the use of air-
craft for trafc enforcement in recent years because of budget
cuts or concerns about cost-effectiveness.
Typically, aerial enforcement programs involve a plane, a
pilot, a spotter to time vehicles as they travel between lines
painted on the road and several cruisers to pull people over and
issue tickets.
That aint cheap, Swoboda said. He added that updated
laser technology now allows a trooper on the ground to get
speed readings over long distances and in heavy trafc two
situations where aircraft used to be superior.
Mollie Stones, a chain of nine supermarkets in the San
Francisco Bay Area, was the recipient of the 2012 Ben
Schwartz Retail Grocery Visionary Award from Unied
Grocers at its EXPO food show on June 19 in Long Beach,
Calif. This is the eighth consecutive year that Unied has pre-
sented the award to an outstanding independent retailer.

WOODS WINS AGAIN: TIGER SQUEAKS OUT A WIN AT CONGRESSIONAL >>> PAGE 14
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Rarely will you come across a
game where the reworks during
the game match the pyrotechnics
afterwards. But Saturdays clash
between the San Jose Earthquakes
and the Los Angeles Galaxy was a
California Clasico for the ages.
After the 90-minute roller coaster
ride, the 50,391 fans that packed
Stanford Stadium were treated to a
firework show that lit up the
Peninsula sky. But actually, all the
talk and buzz following the game
surrounded San Joses 4-3 over the
Galaxy.
Once again, the Quakes did it in
comeback fashion. After trailing 3-1
with less than 10 minutes left in the
rst half, San Jose turned on their
now patented Goonies Never Say
Die mojo and rode goals by Victor
Bernardez, Sam Cronin and Chris
Wondolowski to the big win.
Obviously, a fantastic game for
all the fans to come out to tonight,
said San Jose head coach Frank
Yallop. Obviously a terric win for
our club and another valuable three
points for us. The guys really dug
in. To be down 3-1 to the defending
champions and come back to win it
was quite amazing.
I think this was a great statement
game, Wondolowski said. Im
sure it was exciting for the fans, a
lot of goals, it gives us cardiac arrest
but well take it.
The 50,391 people that packed
Stanford Stadium is the largest
since the facility was renovated in
2006 and marks a new franchise
record for a non-doubleheader
event.
The win solidifies the
Earthquakes (11-3-3, 36 pts.) spot
atop the Western Conference and
Supporters Shield standings. San
Jose remains three points ahead of
D.C. United (10-5-3, 33 pts.) with a
game in hand. At the midway point
of the season, San Jose is off to its
best 17-game start in club history
and, taking it a step beyond a simple
game on the schedule, things could-
nt have lined up any better for the
franchise. The match truly had a lit-
tle bit of everything that makes a
Clasico must-see action black
eyes, tussles, drama, goals, yellow
cards, beat L.A. chants, waves, the
Earthquakes win a Clasico for the ages

win it

SAN FRANCISCO Angel Pagan let out
a sigh with the rest of AT&T Park when Jay
Bruce drifted under his y ball in right eld.
As he started to round rst base, he lost track
of the ball and gured Bruce caught it to send
the game to extra innings.
Then the fans roared, which could only
mean one thing: game over.
Pagan wound up with a game-ending RBI
double that gave the San Francisco Giants a
four-game series split with a 4-3 victory over
the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday.
I looked at it and I thought, I dont think I
have a chance, Pagan said. I thought he
caught it. Then I heard the crowd cheer and I
went nuts. It was a weird walk-off.
Only in San Francisco.
Buster Posey poked a pitch from Jose
Arredondo (4-2) down the right-eld line that
bounced into the stands for a two-out double
for his third hit. Then Pablo Sandoval, who
was 0 for 4, was walked intentionally to set the
stage for a wild nish.
The crowd groaned when Bruce ran under
Pagans y ball to right until those whipping
winds along the bay carried the ball over his
head near the 24-foot brick wall as he lost his
footing. The 42,039 fans inside sold-out

SAN JOSE Kurt Golder decided when he
was 16 that he wanted to make it to the
Olympics.
It just took him a little longer than he
expected.
The University of Michigan coach, now 57,

was the only hole in a resume that includes

Wolverines and dozens of All-Americans.
When Mikulak and his coach embraced

it shouldnt have been the other way around.

KIEV, Ukraine The defense was impen-
etrable. The offense was unstoppable. Simply
put, it was another Spanish party on the inter-
national stage.
Spain won its third straight major soccer
title Sunday, routing Italy 4-0 in the European
Championship nal and making it look all too
easy.
David Silva and Jordi Alba scored rst-half
goals, and substitutes Fernando Torres and
Juan Mata added two more in the nal min-
utes as the Spanish passing game worked its
magic against the Italians at the Olympic
Stadium.
Silva headed in a high shot in the 14th
minute off a pass from Cesc Fabregas. And
Alba added another in the 41st, picking up a
beautiful through ball from Xavi Hernandez
and shooting past Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi
Buffon.
Torres, who came on for Fabregas in the
75th minute, added the third goal with an easy
nish and Mata really put the game away in
the 88th, knocking in a pass from Torres.
They were a great rival, but we took con-
trol of the game as time went by, Spain coach
Vicente del Bosque said.
Spain won the Euro 2008 title four years
ago in Vienna and followed that up with the
World Cup title in Johannesburg two years
ago.
They had made history before, and I could
now, said Alba, who has played only nine
matches for Spain. I dont believe it but little
by little it is sinking in.
Torres also scored the lone goal in the 1-0
win over Germany in 2008, making him the
first man to score in two European
Championship nals.
Not only has Spain won every knockout
game since losing to France in the second
round of the 2006 World Cup, but goalkeeper

The Crossroads Method
This method which includes
computerized true disc
decompression is considered by
many doctors to be the most
advanced and successful non-
invasive treatment of serious back,
neck, leg or arm pain.
This procedure allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing

when drugs, epidurals, traditional
chiropractic, physical therapy
and surgery have failed The
Crossroads Method has shown
dramatic results.
Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When
an MRI showed that I had two
degenerative discs, I went through a
series of lumbar epidural injections
without success. The only thing
that made the pain and spasms go
away was Spinal Decompression
treatments at Crossroads Health
Center. Four years later and I am
still pain-free!
Lisa K.
My severe low back and sciatica
pain have been reduced signifcantly
since receiving spinal decompression
therapy at Crossroads Health Center.
I am now able to walk, golf, and do
things that I havent been able to do in
years! I would also like to say thanks
to Dr. Ferrigno and the offce staff as
they went above and beyond to make
sure my back problem was resolved. I
couldnt be happier!!

WIMBLEDON, England Whew.
Good thing Wimbledon schedules its
middle Sunday as a day off. This year,
that gave everyone a chance to catch
their breath after an eventful Week 1.
Really, when action resumes Monday
with all 16 mens and womens fourth-
round matches, what could Week 2 pos-
sibly have in store to equal what the rst
six days offered?
There was two-time champion Rafael
Nadals loss in the second round to an
unknown guy ranked 100th a guy
who was beaten in his next match. A day
after Nadals exit, ending his streak of
reaching ve consecutive Grand Slam
nals, Roger Federer, owner of six titles
at the All England Club and a record 16
major trophies overall, dropped the rst
two sets of his third-round match ...
before coming back to win.
There was ve-time champion Venus
Williams departure on Day 1; the only
other time in 16 appearances at
Wimbledon that she lost in the rst
round came during her debut in 1997 at
age 17. Her younger sister, four-time
champion Serena, is still around, but
only barely. She pounded a tournament-
record 23 aces to escape the third round
with a 9-7 third-set victory.
As superb as both of the Williams sib-
lings are, neither has pulled off what
Serenas next opponent managed to do
Saturday: a perfect set. No woman had
ever won all 24 points in a set in a pro-
fessional match and only one man
had done it until 65th-ranked
Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan
began that way against 10th-seeded Sara
Errani of Italy, who was the runner-up at
the French Open.
Hopefully Ill be able to win a point
in the set, Williams said, looking ahead
and keeping a straight face. That will be
my rst goal, and then Ill go from
there.
On and on and on it went last week.
American qualier Brian Baker, who
wasnt even ranked a year ago because
he was forced off tour for more than half
a decade by a series
of operations, made
it to the fourth round.
So did 10th-seeded
Mardy Fish, playing
in his first tourna-
ment in about 2 1/2
months after being
treated for an accel-
erated heartbeat.
Another U.S. man,
t h r e e - t i m e
Wimbledon finalist Andy Roddick,
wouldnt say whether he plans to be
back after blowing a kiss to the Centre
Court crowd after his third-round loss to
No. 7-seeded David Ferrer. And yet
another, Sam Querrey, lost a 17-15 fth
set to 16th-seeded Marin Cilic after 5 1/2
hours, the second-longest match in tour-
nament history.
Errani was on the good side of anoth-
er oddity, when she and her second-
round opponent, CoCo Vandweghe of
the U.S., were sent home at match point
one evening because it was too dark to
play. When they returned the next day,
Vandeweghe double-faulted right away,
allowing Errani to wrap up a victory
after seven seconds of action and
not a single swing of her racket.
There was more, too.
The tournament seemed to become
enamored of its retractable roof, pulling
it shut over Centre Court so much that
defending champion Novak Djokovic
remarked: I was a little bit surprised,
when I saw sunshine, that the roof is
closed. Obviously, theyre relying on a
forecast that I dont think is very reliable
here.
Lets hope hes right about that last
part, because the outlook calls for a 60
or 70 percent chance of rain Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Even the last match of Week 1 had a
bit of intrigue: Could Andy Murray
successor to Tim Henman as the Great
British Hope finish off 2006
Australian Open runner-up Marcos
Baghdatis before Centre Court turned
into a pumpkin? Tournament rules
require play to be halted by 11 p.m., sup-
posedly no matter what, but Murray got
a two-minute extension so he could n-
ish.
Now the focus of millions of local fans
will get even more intense, the expecta-
tion being that the No. 4-seeded Murray,
who has lost in the seminals each of the
last three years, should be the biggest
beneficiary of Nadals unexpectedly
early exit from the bottom half of the
draw.
No matter what, that side will denite-
ly produce a rst-time Wimbledon nal-
ist. Mondays matchups are Murray vs.
Cilic, No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga vs. Fish,
Baker vs. No. 27 Philipp Kohlschreiber,
and Ferrer vs. No. 9 Juan Martin del
Potro, the 2009 U.S. Open champion
who is the only member of the eight-
man group with a Grand Slam title on
his resume.
On the top half, Djokovic seeking
to win his fth title in the last seven
majors and Federer aiming for a
record-tying seventh Wimbledon cham-
pionship are on course for a seminal
showdown. The fourth-round pairings
are Djokovic vs. Viktor Troicki, Federer
vs. Xavier Malisse, No. 18 Richard
Gasquet vs. No. 31 Florian Mayer, and
No. 26 Mikhail Youznhy vs. Denis
Istomin. Only Djokovic and Federer
have won major championships; none of
the other six has made so much as one
Grand Slam nal.
Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam
tournament that takes a day off midway
through. Its also the only one that
schedules 16 matches on the second
Monday.
In addition to Williams vs. Shvedova,
the other matches in the bottom half of
the womens draw are No. 2 Victoria
Azarenka vs. No. 14 Ana Ivanovic,
defending champion Petra Kvitova vs.
No. 24 Francesca Schiavone, and No. 21
Roberta Vinci vs. Tamira Paszek.
On the top half, its No. 1 Maria
Sharapova vs. No. 15 Sabine Lisicki,
No. 8 Angelique Kerber vs. four-time
major champion Kim Clijsters in her last
Wimbledon appearance, No. 3
Agnieszka Radwanska vs. 145th-ranked
qualier Camila Giorgi, and No. 17
Maria Kirilenko vs. No. 30 Peng Shuai.

crowd, letting all those fans soak in a nice, long look.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the man to beat at the
London Olympics.
In a result that can no longer be considered a surprise,
Blake beat Usain Bolt in the 200 meters at Jamaican Olympic
trials Sunday, nishing in 19.80 seconds to edge the world-
record holder by 0.03.
When it was over, Bolt was the rst one to approach his
training partner and buddy and give him a big bear hug.
Moments later, Bolt was down on the ground, getting his
right hamstring stretched out, while Blake was celebrating
rather modestly in front of the grandstand.
A lot of people gave me encouragement, said, Yohan
Blake, you can do it, Blake said. I just wanted to keep per-
forming and keep going.
Ledecky wins 800 free to
earn Olympic berth at 15
OMAHA, Neb. Four years ago, Katie Ledecky had no
clue about how to qualify for the Olympics.
Now the 15-year-old distance swimmer is headed to
London.
Ledecky won the 800-meter freestyle by a whopping 2.09
seconds at the trials Sunday night, making her the youngest
member of the U.S. swim team.
She touched in 8 minutes, 19.78 seconds, with Kate Ziegler
taking the second spot at 8:21.87 to earn her second Olympic
berth. Ledecky broke the trials record of 8:20.81 set by Katie
Hoff four years ago.
I had a lot of condence going into that race, Ledecky
said.

By Doug Ferguson
BETHESDA, Md. The ight
of his shot into the 18th green was
so pure that Tiger Woods immedi-
ately started walking and twirled his
club, knowing that it effectively
wrapped up another win at the
AT&T National. Making it even
more special was the sound of thou-
sands of fans at Congressional to
see it.
One day after spectators were
kept away from the golf course
because of debris from a violent
wind storm, they returned Sunday
in full force and got what they
expected Woods in his red shirt,
outlasting Bo Van Pelt in a back-
nine duel, and posing with another
trophy.
Yesterday was a silent day,
Woods said. I think everyone saved
up for today. What an atmosphere to
play in front of.
Woods closed with a 2-under 69
at one point going 41 holes with-
out a bogey on a Congressional
course that was tougher than when
it held the U.S. Open last year
and won for the third time this year.
It was the 74th win of his career,
moving him past Jack Nicklaus into
second place on the PGA Tour,
eight short of Sam Sneads record.
Not bad for a guy who only ve
months ago walked off the course at
Doral with another injury to his left
Achilles tendon.
I remember there was a time
when people were saying I could
never win again, Woods said.
He stayed at No. 4 in the world,
but a couple of other rankings indi-
cate how he is trending. Woods
moved to the top of the PGA Tour
money list and the FedEx Cup
standings for the rst time since
September 2009.
And this win puts him in a posi-
tion to reclaim No. 1 over the nal
two majors of the year. The ranking
is based on points over two years. If
it were a vote, Van Pelt knows how
he would cast his ballot.
I think hes the only guy to win
three tournaments on tour this year,
is that correct? he said. On three
different golf courses. And he was
leading the U.S. Open after two
days. So Id say that hes playing
the best golf in the world right now.
Van Pelt made him work for it.
Three times, Woods took the out-
right lead in the nal round. Each
time, Van Pelt made a birdie of his
own to catch him. The tournament
was decided on the last three holes,
and it featured a surprising turn of
events.
Van Pelt had Woods on the ropes
on the par-5 16th by ripping a 345-
yard tee shot and having only a 6-
iron into the green. Woods hit a
spectator in the left rough with his
tee shot, laid up, and then attacked a
back ag only to see the ball tumble
over the green and down an 8-foot
slope. It looked as if it might be a
two-shot swing for Van Pelt, or at
least the lead going to the 17th.
Thats when Van Pelt answered
with unforced errors of his own. His
6-iron was slightly heavy and didnt
quite reach the bunker, meaning he
had to plant his feet in the sand and
grip the wedge on the shaft for his
third shot. He moved it only a few
yards, still in the collar of the rough,
and chipped about 12 feet by the
hole. Woods chip up the slope rolled
15 feet by, and he missed the par putt.
Van Pelt also missed his par putt,
and they walked away from that
mess still tied for the lead.
Tiger squeaks out a win at Congressional
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
SAN JOSE Those in the base-
ball world who know Tommy
Medica either rave about his catching
abilities, or know someone who does.
The problem is, Medica hasnt been
able to catch on a regular basis since
his sophomore year at Santa Clara
University in 2008.
In 2009, Medica dislocated his
throwing shoulder just nine games
into the season. Last year, after nal-
ly getting close to resuming catching
duties in his rst full season as a pro,
he dislocated the same shoulder. Two
major shoulder surgeries later, the
Padres prospect, now 24, is still as
dangerous a hitter as hes ever been.
Currently hitting in the heart of the
order for Padres High-A afliate
Lake Elsinore, Medica had an auspi-
cious homecoming over the week-
end, with the Storm taking two of
three from Giants High-A afliate
San Jose. Medica was 6 for 14 with
six RBIs in the series. Despite not
being activated until over a month
into the season on May 15, Medica
entered play last night hitting .347
with a team-best nine home runs.
And, with a hit against Bakerseld
last night, he extended the California
Leagues best hitting streak of the
season to 17 games.
Hes just a good hitter, Lake
Elsinore interim manager David
Newhan said. He scares you when
hes at the plate because he has
power, but then again hell stay with-
in himself at times and use the whole
eld. Basically its just a matter of
him staying healthy, and getting on
track there. But, from an offensive
standpoint, for me, hes proven that
he can handle this level.
Now, Medica has just got to avoid
jarring his shoulder when he slides.
The rst time he dislocated it was
during a snowy four-game series at
Oregon, while diving back to rst on
a standard pickoff play.
I didnt do anything wrong,
Medica said. I didnt dive wrong. It
wasnt because I hit the bag wrong
and jammed it. It was just a freak
accident.
Former Santa Clara pitcher J.R.
Graham recalls the aftermath as
being immediately excruciating for
Medica.
You expect him to come up, and
all of a sudden you see him holding
his shoulder, and hes just laying
there, Graham said. But, you knew
something was pretty serious when
he wasnt getting up.
Medica took a medical redshirt in
2009, and returned as a redshirt jun-
ior in 2010. And, despite hardly hav-
ing enough shoulder strength to
throw a baseball, he converted to the
outeld.
You could just tell, when he start-
ed to throw, his arm wasnt there
when he was trying to throw,
Graham said. If he tried to catch,
teams were going to steal off him.
Getting balls in from the outeld, he
couldnt really get them in but, he
was out there still playing and giving
everything he had. Youve got to
commend him for that because he
was going out playing injured every
game.
The injury didnt affect him at the
plate, though, as Medica etched his
way into the Santa Clara record
books in 2010. He hit .386 with 13
home runs, and tied for fourth all-
time among Santa Claras single-sea-
son leaders with 67 RBIs. He also
moved into second place among all-
time batting leaders with a career
.370 average.
In 2010, the Padres selected
Medica as a 14th round draft pick.
But, after serving mostly as a rst
baseman and designated hitter
through his rst full season of 2011,
Medica reinjured his shoulder on a
pickoff play at second base while
playing for Low-A Fort Wayne.
I was able to walk off the eld, but
I was denitely frustrated, Medica
said. Going through it once after
going that far with the rst surgery
and doing everything for that and
basically having to start over again, I
wasnt very happy. And, its one of
the most painful things, having your
shoulder out of your socket.
Medica opted to nish the 2011
season, and was promoted to Lake
Elsinore, where he hit .302 through
42 games as a designated hitter. He
had his second surgery immediately
following the season, then spent the
entire offseason rehabbing in
Arizona. Come spring, he was able to
work as a catcher during bullpen ses-
sions. However, he has yet to resume
catching in game situations, and there
is not timetable for his return to his
favorite position.
Ive caught all my life, until I got
hurt, Medica said. So, not this year,
but maybe in the future sometime Ill
get back behind the plate.
Former Capuchino and Skyline
College pitcher Greg Gonzalez also
made his homecoming with Lake
Elsinore in the series. The right-han-
der pitched two scoreless innings
Friday night in the Storms 12-3 win
over the Giants.
Hes looking good, Medica said.
Hes got a nasty changeup. He pulls
the string and its like a Loony Tunes
pitch sometimes. Its fun watching
some of the swings and misses when
hes out there.
Prior to last weeks California
League All-Star break, Gonzalez hit a
rough patch, surrendering ve home
runs over seven innings through four
appearances. Otherwise, the right-
hander has been nails, posting a 3.29
ERA in 19 appearances with Lake
Elsinore this season, while striking
out 37 against seven walks in 27 1/3
innings.
[The rough patch] is just pitching
in this league, Newhan said. For all
these guys its going to be the rst
time they maybe get really chal-
lenged from a competition standpoint
on a nightly basis. Hes got a nice
plus-pitch in that [changeup] and he
does well. Hes still growing and
learning what he can do, what he
cant do, but hes been effective for
us.

EUGENE, Ore. This time,
there was no dead heat.
Allyson Felix ran a lifetime-best
21.69 seconds in the 200-meter nal
on a rain-soaked track Saturday
night. She easily pulled away from
the eld, no signs of the stress from
the last week weighing her down.
Still to be determined is her fate in
the 100 meters. Felix and training
partner Jeneba Tarmoh nished in a
third-place tie last Saturday.
Theyre soon going to announce
their plans for breaking the tie. But
not right now, said Tarmoh, who n-
ished a distant fth.
Felix was too busy celebrating
and soaking up the moment.
Wearing neon yellow compres-
sion sleeves on her legs, Felix was
easy to spot as she settled into the
blocks. She was even easier to
detect once she ew off the starting
line, jumping out to a commanding
lead. She never looked back, smil-
ing as she crossed the nish line and
clapping her hands, before raising
them high over her head.
Carmelita Jeter nished 0.42 sec-
onds behind and Sanya Richards-
Ross even farther back in third to
round out the London-bound team.
Now, its decision time. So many
questions await Felix and Tarmoh.
At the top of the list, and the one
everyone is waiting to hear, is what
way will they choose to break the
tie: A one-race runoff or a ip of the
coin? Theres always the possibility
that Felix simply surrenders the spot
Tarmoh, because shes already safe-
ly into the Olympics in the 200.
On top of that theres this: When
will the race take place and where
will it be held?
Im going to give her space,
Tarmoh said. Were going to sit
down together, because its in both
of our interests.
In a 100-meter race thats usually
over in 11 seconds, the outcome has
lingered on for more than 168 hours.
Its become the cloud over the tri-
als because USA Track and Field
had no protocol in place to deal with
this sort of dead heat.
Felix makes statement with
personal-best in 200 meters

AT&T Park erupted, Pagan tossed his helmet
around second and the Giants streamed out of
the dugout to mob him in celebration.
It got in the wind a little bit, but I was just
not as close to the wall as I thought I was and
missed it, Bruce said. Its really, really
embarrassing. I missed it. It should be an
error. Its not, but it denitely should be. I
pride myself on my defense and that was just
embarrassing.
Santiago Casilla (2-3) blew the save in the
ninth but worked out of a bases-loaded jam
with no outs to give San Francisco another
shot.
Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong allowed only
a two-run homer to Todd Frazier in seven
innings.
The right-hander struck out ve and walked
one, and the benches cleared after he slammed
his bat because of an inside pitch from Reds
starter Bronson Arroyo in the sixth.
After all the drama, the Giants ended the
weekend the same way they started it: in rst
place in the NL West over the rival Dodgers.
Well take it, Giants manager Bruce
Bochy said.
Reds slugger Joey Votto sat out the game
with inammation in his left knee. Miguel
Cairo, who replaced Votto in the bottom of the
fth Saturday, started at rst base.
Cincinnati could have used the help.
Posey, the NLs top vote-getter for the All-
Star team announced earlier in the morning,
hit the last of three straight two-out singles in
the third to drive in Ryan Theriot and give the
Giants a 1-0 lead. Theriot singled, doubled,
walked twice and scored San Franciscos rst
three runs.
Frazier followed with a two-run homer in
the fth that drifted just over the wall in left
eld to put Cincinnati ahead. Fraziers eighth
home run of the season came in place of third
baseman Scott Rolen, who was taken out of
the lineup with back spasms after Vogelsong
took the mound.
GIANTS
whole shabang.
Wonderful, Yallop said,
describing the atmosphere. Its a
wonderful experience for, not only
the players, but the club. Its proof
that we can sell soccer tickets to a
very good event. I think we could
have had 80,000 here to be honest.
But what it says is that its a great
market, they want to see our team,
they want to see great players. It
bodes well for the future of the sta-
dium and our club.
Things started quickly for San
Jose when Steven Lenhart took
advantage of a Marvin Chavez
blast from just outside the penalty
area that gave goalkeeper Joe
Saunders fits. The opportunistic
Lenhart was there to push the ball
over the goal line for the 1-0 lead.
But the Galaxy came roaring
back with three consecutive first-
half goals.
David Beckham equalized with a
free kick in the 31st minute in typ-
ical bend-it fashion, striking a free
kick from about 20 yards out that
left Jon Busch flat-footed and the
capacity crowd stunned.
Five minutes later, L.A. was
handed the lead on a Jason
Hernandez own goal that was the
product of a Galaxy run that beat
Justin Morrow on the right side.
Things went from bad to worse for
Hernandez moments later when an
inadvertent back pass to Busch
turned into a Landon Donovan
goal in the 41st minute.
We all pick each other up,
Wondolowski said of the first-half
adversity. You look to the right,
you look to the left, and you see a
guy thats going to fight for you.
You want to play for them and that
gives you extra motivation.
San Jose found that motivation
rather quickly. With a minute left
in the half, San Jose earned a cor-
ner kick executed to perfection by
Chavez and Bernardez it was
the defenders volley that cut the
two-goal deficit to one before the
half.
Were only down one goal,
Yallop said about the halftime
message. Forget how the goals
were scored, how we gave them
away. Its irrelevant at this point.
Were one goal down, we have to
get back in the game quickly and if
you think about it, you couldnt
have done the script any better.
No you couldnt. Two minutes
into the start of the second half,
Cronin equalized on his first goal
of the season. The play though was
made by Lenhart, who saw a
streaking Cronin out of the corner
of his eye and instead of playing a
Steven Beitashour pass from the
backline, let it slide between his
legs. The pass then met Cronin
beautifully just inside the 18-yard
box which he slid past Saunders
for the goal.
We sort of have done it all
year, Yallop said of the comeback.
But for us to keep doing that, I
dont like to do that, but what I do
like is we are able to come back.
Im never afraid that were not
going to score goals. Thats a big
thing for me. So whatever time in
the game, I feel were dangerous.
We have enough weapons, coming
off the bench or starting the game
all those things you need to be
a solid team, we have.
San Joses biggest weapon had
yet to strike and it wouldnt be a
Clasico without the appearance of
Wondolowski, the leagues most
prolific scorer. And in the 61st
minute, Wondo struck. On another
corner kick, a Chavez cross, fol-
lowed by a Ramiro Corrales flick
turned into one of the prettiest and
cheekiest Earthquake goals of all
time. Wondolowski half turned and
back-heeled the ball into the L.A.
net to give San Jose the 4-3 lead.
The score led to a frenzied finish
in which David Bingham, who
spelled Busch in the second half,
withstood the L.A. attack.
I think weve come back from
every game, Yallop said jokingly.
Again, scripts change and a lot of
times you cant write it up how the
game is going to start. Wed like to
score first, which we did, but to
come back against a team of this
quality is very good. I cant
speak highly enough of the play-
ers we have they never give
up, they keep going, they believe
in themselves. I thought we
pushed the issue, we tried to get
back in the game, we tried to do
our thing.
We really have faith in each
other, Wondolowski said of the
comeback win. I really cant
describe how great this team is
the camaraderie and the character
in this locker room. I enjoy coming
to play every day.
The seven combined goals on
Saturday sets a new record for
most in a regular season California
Clasico.
With their pair in the final 45
minutes, the Earthquakes extended
their league lead in second-half
tallies to 23 on the season. San
Jose also leads MLS with 21 goals
in the final 30 minutes of games.
QUAKES
duce as U.S. Olympian and Ive been very
close on a couple of occasions, Golder said.
And for me to be able to achieve it, who else
would I thank?
Golder took over a struggling Michigan
program in 1997 and immediately turned it
around. The Wolverines won a national title in
1999 thanks to Golders aggressive recruiting.
He has continued to bring top gymnasts to
Ann Arbor, including Mikulak.
The laid-back kid from Corona Del Mar in
southern California was a throw-in during a
recruiting trip to Michigan three years ago.
Considering both of Mikulaks parents were
gymnasts at California, most coaches gured
making a hard sell was useless.
Not Golder, though he didnt really press
Mikulak, instead letting the campus win him
over. Mikulak responded by winning the all-
around title at the 2011 NCAA champi-
onships while becoming the first male
Michigan gymnast to make a U.S. Olympic
team. Mikulak likened Golder to a father.
Hes a big teddy bear, Mikulak said.
Hell take a bullet for me. Theres no better
way that I can repay him for all hes done for
me.
Golder wont be the only Alpena, Mich.,
native heading to London. Longtime friend
John Geddert will also be going to the games
as the coach of national champion Jordyn
Wieber.
TRIALS
game span. The last player to beat him is such
an important match was Zinedine Zidane, and
he retired after that tournament.
Sundays win was a record 100th for
Casillas in international soccer.
Spain was the favorite heading into the
match, but also seemed primed for a loss after
being held to a 1-1 draw by the Italians in their
opening Group C match. Spain, which has
been experimenting with a lineup that
excludes a recognized striker, needed a penal-
ty shootout to reach the nal after a 0-0 tie
with Portugal in the seminals.
The controversial lineup, which Del Bosque
again employed on Sunday, is akin to playing
in the Super Bowl without a running back.
Sure, you can still score touchdowns, but you
give up on the chance for a game-breaking
play.
Spain did just ne without the strikers, but
they did even better when Torres came on.
Although he has struggled both for Spain and
Chelsea recently and was relegated to the
bench for four of the six games at Euro 2012
Torres came on Sunday and made a differ-
ence.
But as good as the play was up front for
Spain, it was the steady hands of Casillas at
the back that likely preserved the victory.
Casillas made a point-blank save on a shot
from Antonio Di Natale at the start of the sec-
ond half, and twice tipped crosses out of dan-
ger just before the Italians could get their
heads to the ball.
With every save, and of course with every
goal, the huge group of Spain supporters
cheered and screamed. The red-shirted fans
dominated one corner of the stadium, lling
up more than six sections of the Olympic
Stadium. On the opposite side, the blue-clad
Italians were far outnumbered, with dozens of
empty yellow seats poking through the mass
of supporters.
The political aspect of the game involved
several heads of state. Italian Premier Mario
Monti, along with other EU leaders, had said
they would not travel to Ukraine for the tour-
nament because of the politically tainted jail-
ing of former Prime Minister Yulia
Tymoshenko. But that didnt stop him from
attending the nal in Kiev.

LOS ANGELES Its both a bear and
bull market for Hollywood.
The bear is Ted, Mark Wahlberg and Seth
MacFarlanes comedy for Universal Pictures
about a talking teddy bear, which opened as
the No. 1 movie with $54.1 million, according
to studio estimates Sunday.
And the bulls are baring it in the Warner
Bros. release Magic Mike, Channing Tatum
and Steven Soderberghs male-stripper tale
that debuted a strong No. 2 with $39.2 million.
The two new movies were backed by a deep
bench, with Pixar Animations Disney fairy
tale Brave holding up well at No. 3 with
$34 million in its second weekend. Tyler
Perrys Madeas Witness Protection, the lat-
est from the dependable breadwinner for
Lionsgate Films, opened solidly at No. 4 with
$26.4 million.
The four movies combined to keep
Hollywood in the money compared to the
same weekend last year, when Transformers:
Dark of the Moon launched with $97.9 mil-
lion.
It was an equally big weekend overseas,
where two huge franchises got a head-start on
their U.S. openings.
The 20th Century Fox animated sequel Ice
Age: Continental Drift opened with $78 mil-
lion in 34 international markets, while Sonys
The Amazing Spider-Man debuted with
$50.2 million in 13 markets. Amazing
Spider-Man opens domestically Tuesday for
the Fourth of July weekend, while
Continental Drift has its U.S. debut July 13.
Domestic revenues totaled $207.7 million,
up 3 percent from the same weekend in 2011,
according to box-office tracker
Hollywood.com. That was quite an accom-
plishment, considering the Fourth of July fell
on Monday last year, making it a long holiday
weekend.
It was absolutely astonishing that were
beating the same weekend a year ago given
the enormity of the lm, the big sci- block-
buster that opened then, said Hollywood.com
analyst Paul Dergarabedian. This played out
like a holiday weekend without it really being
a holiday weekend. It speaks volumes about
the importance of having a wide variety of
lms in the marketplace.
The only one that didnt work among new
wide releases was the sibling drama People
Like Us, which tanked at No. 10 with $4.3
million. A DreamWorks release distributed by
Disney, the movie features Chris Pine
(Captain Kirk of Star Trek) as a man who
gets himself into an awkward relationship
with the half-sister (Elizabeth Banks) he
never knew he had.
Ted stars Wahlberg as a guy whose
stuffed bear magically came to life when he
was a boy, the two growing up together to
become slacker, party-boy roommates.
Writer-director MacFarlane, the creator of
TVs Family Guy, provides the voice of the
bear, while Family Guy voice co-star Mila
Kunis plays Wahlbergs girl-
friend.
The idea of a cuddly teddy
bear combined with a foul
mouth and MacFarlanes
wicked sense of humor
caught re with audiences,
who lifted Ted far beyond
the opening of $35 million or
less that Hollywood generally
expected.
In my heart of hearts, I
just felt that everybody was
starting to talk about this talk-
ing bear, and everyone loves Seth
MacFarlane, people love his show, said
Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for
Universal. And the marketing campaign did
a great job of telling people how fabulous this
picture is for an R-rated audience.
Magic Mike also far outstripped industry
expectations. The weekend was a rare
instance where two R-rated movies opened at
Nos. 1 and 2, and it followed another unusual
weekend where two PG-rated movies
(Brave and Madagascar 3: Europes Most
Wanted) led the box ofce.
Directed by Soderbergh, Magic Mike is
inspired by Tatums early career as a male
stripper and features him as a veteran dancer
who takes a newcomer (Alex Pettyfer) under
his wing.

O
nce or twice every year, I write
about lost pets, focusing on steps
owners can take to avoid this awful
situation or go about nding a lost pet. But,
Im not sure Ive ever covered this topic from
the angle of the person who nds a lost dog
and would very much like to keep him. For
years, many folks in the animal sheltering
business and animal rescue world used 30
days as a guideline. The assumption was that
the stray dog would become the nders legal
property after a period of 30 days a month
of caring for the dog. This is not true. The law
is actually silent on a time period; there is no
denitive time frame. Instead the law says
that the person who nds the dog must make
reasonable efforts to nd the owner before the
dog can become their property. To make a
muddy situation even muddier, reasonable
efforts are not dened. When advising peo-
ple in this situation, we explain that our
understanding of reasonable efforts includes:
calling the owner if contact information is on
the dogs collar or tags; canvassing the area
where the dog was found and asking around
to see if anyone knows anything; posting
Found Dog iers in that neighborhood;
bringing the dog to a shelter or veterinary
clinic so the dog can be scanned for a
microchip form of identication; visiting the
nearest animal shelter to report the found dog
(including the animals physical description,
date found and location found) so shelter staff
can make this information available in a data-
base or binder to folks visiting the shelter to
nd their lost pet; and posting a found dog
listing on Craigslist or other neighborhood
sites. We believe that people who take these
measures have done everything possible to
nd the lost dogs original owner. There are
legislative efforts proposed to add clarity to
the current reasonable efforts language.

many people doing good work, said
Malissa Netane of the PCRC. She was
especially moved by the contributions of
Sunshine Neighbor Hero Joshua Hugg,
a resident who just keeps on working.
It doesnt end with the 9 to 5, said
Netane. Thats really what an everyday
hero is, they work beyond their scope.
Hugg has lived in North Central with
his wife Tina for 13 years. He jumps at
the chance to do neighborhood cleanups
and mentor teens.
This is the most diverse neighborhood
in the city, he said. It needs to be
embraced.
In an area where families often
encounter substance abuse, Hugg said it
is important for kids to see a future
beyond their tough situation.
The awards ceremony included video
testimonies of people who nominated the
honorees. A girls testimony described
Huggs ability to bring adults and kids
together in an alcohol awareness group.
This just makes me want to do more,
said Hugg.
Single dad Bennie Shannon accepted
his Sunshine Neighbor Hero award to
the sound of excited giggles from his
girls softball team.
My joy is kids, said Shannon, look-
ing out at his team. If theyre smiling
and having a good time, then Im smil-
ing
He hoped others would be inspired to
get involved, because everyone has the
great power to make others happy, he
said.
Shannon is also a church mentor and a
member of the NAACP.
Honoree Ruby Kahos coworkers from
the Samaritan House attended the cere-
mony.
Kaho goes above and beyond as
kitchen manager at the Samaritan
House, said co-worker Laura Bent.
Kaho distributes countless meals and
after school snacks to low-income people
around the Peninsula. And she includes
her whole family in her work, said Bent.
The kids help out a lot.
Bent found out last minute that Kaho
was not going to be able to make it to the
event because she was busy taking care of
her family.
Kahos niece, Mei Puloto, was asked to
accept the award.
I thought I was just going to come by
and pick something up, she said as she
accepted her aunts Partnership Hero
award. But Ive been here for a couple of
hours now.
Puloto admitted she didnt even want to
come. But as she stood at the podium, she
was suddenly overwhelmed at the
thought of all the work her aunt has done.
My aunt never says no to anyone, she
said with tears in her eyes. She is a great
example to our family.
Puloto told the audience she was glad
she came and heard their stories.
Honoree Allen Haysbert has lived in
North Central since 1947. Haysbert was
recognized for his work in substance
abuse prevention as a senior counselor for
local organization Project 90. Haysbert
said he didnt plan on being a good guy.
Before it was North Central, it was the
County Point Projects, said Haysbert,
accepting the Prevention Hero award.
I was the lead gangster.
But Haysbert turned his life around 23
years ago. In a video testimony,
Haysberts wife called him a peace war-
rior, helping countless men and women
recover from drug and alcohol abuse.
Honoree Timothy Niupalau was recog-
nized for his dedication to student gov-
ernment and an Asian/Pacic Islander
club at San Mateo High School. He told
the audience he was humbled to be
among the other honorees.
I dont consider myself a hero, said
Niupalau, who just graduated. He loves
that San Mateo High School was a place
where he could be amongst people from
a wide range of backgrounds and privi-
leges.
Interior designer Eric Waldorf was
unable to make the ceremony to accept
his Merchant Hero award for his work
at the King Center. In a video testimony,
Hugg praised Waldorfs work to make the
back room at the King Center the best
place it can be.
North Central is the toughest area in
San Mateo, said Ofcer Jeff Aspillera,
Police Activities League director.
Without these everyday heroes the com-
munity would not thrive, he said.
And the PCRC has been good at
bringing people together, he added.
The PCRCs approach to substance
abuse problems is to look at the commu-
nity as a whole, said Netane of PCRC. It
uses the approach of engaging the whole
community because the community
knows their own community best, she
said.
In August, the PCRC will participate in
San Mateos National Night Out to pro-
mote neighborhood unity and crime pre-
vention awareness.

HEROES
The Event Center itself doesnt have a lot
of interest in building a hotel itself but thinks
a public/private partnership to construct one
would draw in new bodies and money beyond
Event Center activities. With Franklin
Templeton nearby and Bay Meadows plan-
ning to expand further, Carpenter said week-
day business for a hotel could exist to help it
reach the occupancy levels required.
At the boards next meeting in July, the con-
sultants may discuss improvements to other
facilities and talk about moving ahead with
the next phase which is looking at nancial
operations with estimated prot and loss, a
scal analysis on the economic impact not
only to the center but surrounding areas like
Hillsdale Shopping Center and San Francisco
International Airport.
Once that is in place, Carpenter said its
time to talk to a lot more folks, meet with the
county about alternatives and hit the ground
running.
The center sits on county-owned property
but is no longer county-funded. One large
money maker at the site is the Jockey Club, a
satellite wagering facility constructed after
the Bay Meadows race track was demolished
for housing, ofces and retail.
Supervisor Carole Groom, whose district
includes the Event Center, said she and the
county are on board with possible improve-
ments.
It is a key piece of economic development
for the county and the city, Groom said.
Groom said personally shes ready to con-
sider all options for the countys role, includ-
ing helping with nancing, and helping work
with the surrounding neighborhood.
Residents in the area have said theyd like
more daytime and less weekend events,
Groom said.
We need to move very cautiously, very
slowly, but Im certainly excited, she said.

The private defenders investigator,
Rich Fischer, said the mans ngerprints
were run through DMV and criminal
databases but no results came back.
Saguid had physically responded to
some verbal commands in English, but
had not spoken or written any words. At
one point, he was given a pencil and
paper and a nurse asked him if he was
happy or sad, to which he responded by
drawing a happy face, Fischer said.
Fischer said Saturday morning that
Saguid was identied after his former
therapist saw a report about the uniden-
tied man in the news and contacted his
sister. Saguids family conrmed it was
him.
Fischer said Saguid has been charged
with petty theft, but that he anticipates
the charges could be dropped based on
the circumstances of the crime and
Saguids mental state.
When he took the items, it was the
third time hed come back to this store
and taken the same items, Fischer said.
All three times he made no effort to
conceal the goods as he walked out of
the store, Fischer said. The rst two
times, store management confronted
Saguid and he gave the items back, and
the third time they decided to call the
police, he said.
Fischer said he and Saguid had their
rst conversation Saturday.
He nally spoke to me this morning,
Fischer said.
Fischer thinks Saguid began to open
up because he addressed him by his
name.
He clearly made eye contact with me
when I called him Vincent, Fischer
said.
MAN
MONDAY, JULY 2, 2012
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Theres a strong
chance you might have to deal with someone whom
you feel wronged you in the past, but dont treat this
as an opportunity for payback. Just be alert that it
doesnt happen again.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be extremely selective to
whom you turn for counsel if you fnd yourself in need
of fnancial advice. Go only to someone who has had
a lot of success in dealing with money matters.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You know how awful
you felt in the past when someone treated you in a
deceitful manner, so dont do anything that would
cause you to be accused of this type of behavior.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Youre likely to be quite
imaginative, which is all well and good, as long as
you dont view lifes developments more negatively
than positively. Focus only on winning.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If you fnd yourself feel-
ing a trife envious or jealous of a close friend, make
that energy into a motivator, no matter how painful it
is to do so. Itll pay off in spades.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You could get
everyone frustrated with you if you vacillate too
much on an important issue and fail to take a stance.
In order to command respect, be decisive.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Usually you have a
great understanding of life, and allow for the frailties
in others. Today, however, youre likely to be hyper-
critical and do nothing but fnd fault with everyone.
Loosen up.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Although its not
normal, you could be far too gullible and impulsively
involve yourself in something thats way over your
head, motivated purely by wishful thinking. Keep your
feet on the ground.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- The major reason you
and your mate could end up in opposition is likely
because neither one of you is able to effectively
articulate your true feelings. Voice your love.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- When working with
unfamiliar materials or tools, you had better make it
a point to keep your concentration from wandering.
Too many bad things could happen if you dont.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Although its not normal
for you, youre not beyond taking a calculated risk
when you think the circumstances call for it. Just
make sure what you do is well thought out in advance.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dont be surprised if peo-
ple emulate the example you set, especially if youre
abrasive and diffcult to get along with. Others usually
give back what we give out, one way or another.

BABYLON, Iraq Nowadays it
seems that Babylon just cant catch
a break.
Once the center of the ancient
world, it has been despoiled in mod-
ern times by Saddam Husseins fan-
tasies of grandeur, invading armies
and village sprawl.
Now come two more setbacks for
the city famous for its Hanging
Gardens and Tower of Babel: Parts
of its grounds have been torn up for
an oil pipeline, and a diplomatic spat
is hampering its bid for coveted
UNESCO heritage status.
The pipeline was laid in March by
Iraqs Oil Ministry, overriding out-
raged Iraqi archaeologists and draw-
ing a rebuke from UNESCO, the
global guardian of cultural heritage.
Then Iraqs tourism minister
blocked ofcial visits to the site by
the World Monuments Fund, a New
York-based group that is helping
Babylon secure a World Heritage
site designation after three rejec-
tions.
Its payback for an unrelated dis-
pute with the U.S. over the fate of
Iraqs Jewish archives, rescued from
a waterlogged basement after the
2003 U.S.-led invasion and taken to
the U.S.
I will make Babylon a desolate
place of owls, lled with swamps
and marshes. I will sweep the land
with the broom of destruction, God
warns in Isaiah 14:22-23.
Today desolation and destruction
are all too evident.
Uncontrolled digging, paving and
building have resulted from Saddam
Husseins heavy-handed attempt to
replicate the splendor of a city dat-
ing back nearly 4,000 years.
Since his downfall foreign troops
have camped in parts of Babylons
10 square
kilometers
( f o u r
s q u a r e
m i l e s ) .
Gr owi ng
v i l l a g e s
are spilling onto its grounds and ris-
ing groundwater threatens the
ancient mud brick ruins in the
roughly 20 percent of its area that
has been excavated over the past
century.
Its a mess and there are a load of
problems, said Jeffrey Allen, a con-
sultant for the World Monuments
Fund. A lot of this feeling you get
from a major archaeological site is
missing from Babylon.
Babylon, straddling the Euphrates
River some 90 kilometers (55 miles)
south of Baghdad, was both a testa-
ment to human ingenuity and a sym-
bol of false pride and materialism.
It produced two of the major kings
of antiquity Hammurabi, author
of one of the worlds oldest written
legal codes, and Nebuchadnezzar II,
conqueror of Jerusalem in 597 B.C.
With towering temples and luxuri-
ous palaces, Babylon was trans-
formed by Nebuchadnezzar into the
largest city of its time. His Hanging
Gardens, according to legend a mul-
tilevel horticultural gift to his
homesick wife, was one of the
seven wonders of the ancient
world.
Babylon is mentioned dozens of
times in the Bible, which tells the
story of Nebuchadnezzars destruc-
tion of the Jewish temple and
enslavement of the Jews. Pop lyrics
were inspired by the verse captur-
ing the Jews pain of exile: By the
rivers of Babylon, there we sat
down and wept, when we remem-
bered Zion (Psalms 37-1).
Visitors would have to struggle to
imagine the ancient city once nes-
tled among date plantations.
There are still palms, but other-
wise Saddams works overpower the
scene modern brick and mortar
on brittle ruins, a wide thoroughfare
and a new palace for the latter-day
despot.
After he was toppled, coalition
forces camped on the grounds for 20
months, according to a 2009
UNESCO report. It said they dug
trenches, spread gravel and damaged
parts of Babylons famed Ishtar Gate
and the Processional Way,.
The new oil pipeline runs 1.7
meters (six feet) under Babylon for
about 1.5 kilometers (a mile), along-
side two other pipelines dug in the
Saddam era.
The Oil Ministry says no artifacts
were found during the digging, and
that the new pipeline is needed to
ease energy. Spokesman Assem
Jihad said the ministry is looking for
an alternative route, but needs time.
I think this issue was blown out
of proportion, he said. The antiqui-
ties department has nonetheless sued
the ministry, demanding it remove
the pipeline. UNESCO said it wrote
to the Iraqi authorities, expressing
concern.
