Amazon cuts offstateaffiliates

By Rachel Metz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Amazon.com Inc. and much smaller Overstock.com Inc. are cutting off their advertising affiliates in California because of a new state rule forcing online retailers to collect sales tax there. In an email Wednesday to California-based afliates, Seattlebased Amazon said it would cut ties with afliates who reside in the nations most populous state if the

law became effective. Gov. Jerry Brown signed the law Wednesday as part of a larger state budget package. The new rule requires online retailers to collect California sales taxes if they have in-state afliates. Afliate is the term the online retailers use for individuals or companies who run websites that refer visitors to them and then get paid a commission on any resulting sales. For Amazon afliates, these fees vary from 4 percent to 15 percent of a sale.

This move doesnt affect the third-party sellers who sell items through Amazon.com. Amazon says they already are responsible for determining what taxes must be collected on a sale and often include taxes in the prices they charge customers. In its email, Amazon called Californias new rule unconstitutional and counterproductive. Amazon would not disclose how many afliates it had in California, but in the email it said that for more

The Jockey Club, a satellite wagering room financed by San Mateo County to replace the Bay Meadows race track, brought in $3.3 million last year. The revenue, and the increasing numbers the previous two years, far exceeded expectations and should propel San Mateo County to reconsider its agreement with the clubs operators so that it can get a cut of the revenue, according to the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury. I understand where the grand jury would say that they need to share the wealth but theres an awful lot of debt still to pay back on the Jockey Club and the next step is to do some renovation work there, said Carole Groom, president of the Board of Supervisors. The countys arrangement with the nonprofit Expo Association,

which expires in June 2020, stipulates the latter manages the property and retains all income from its activities which must be used for Carole Groom maintenance. Its a very benecial arrangement for the county, said Chris Carpenter, Event Center general manager. All of the money goes back into the buildings. The county does not give the association any operating subsidies to run the annual fair or other activities but does share the cost of any capital improvements beyond $100,000. The jury concluded that, because the county contributes capital costs, it should share in the revenue. Groom said more renovations are

The roach coach is a foodies nightmare, but a revolutionary wave of food trucks has enthusiasts ocking to meals on wheels. This year, several food trucks selling handmade fusion foods were born in San Mateo, including the quirky-named trucks Hiyaaa! and Naked Chorizo. We are very different from the

roach coach, said Sun Chang, who started Hiyaaa! just eight weeks ago. We really try to seek out good ingredients and nd new inventive ways to serve food. Hiyaaa! is a fusion sandwich truck with primarily Korean and Vietnamese avors. They specialize in a Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwich lled with Korean beef or curry chicken. Chang said they use hydroponic vegetables from a local ower shop.

With the help of social media, Hiyaaa! now serves food every weekday to various companies around the Peninsula. On some days, there are several trucks parked in the same area, said Chang, but the food is all so unique that there is not a competitive vibe to the scene. We found that competition isnt really our goal, said Chang, explaining that after busi-

Strange but True

Police: Polite burglar offers to repair screen
VINELAND, N.J. Authorities say a burglar offered to repair the screen that he damaged breaking into a New Jersey home after he was confronted by the homeowner and told her he meant to break into a neighbors home. The homeowner, Maria Cardona, tells The Press of Atlantic City that the man made her nervous as he told her about his family and kept a hand in his pocket. She says he was really polite, but she just wanted him to leave. Vineland police say nothing was stolen during the encounter Monday. Ellis, 55, said Thursday. I was just nervous, on edge, making sure that my heart was beating normal, that I wasnt sweating. Alaska Airlines spokeswoman Bobbie Egan said the scorpion probably crawled on board the plane during a stop in Austin, Texas. The plane then landed in Seattle, where Ellis boarded for a ight to Anchorage. About three hours into the ight, Ellis dozed off. Then, he felt something tickling his arm. I felt it on my shirt-sleeve and brushed it off, I thought it was a little spider or something, Ellis said. Then I felt it back on my elbow. Just after that, Eliis felt a sting. He grabbed it with his napkin and his girlfriend, Suzanne Foster, called a ight attendant, who tossed the scorpion into a clear plastic bag. The writhing arachnid terried children seated nearby. Their mother told the ight attendant, `Get that thing out of my face, Ellis said. As Ellis monitored himself for signs of a fatal allergic reaction, emergency responders in Anchorage were told to get ready; the ight would be landing soon. But they had a problem, Ellis said: Scorpions arent common in Alaska, and the EMTs didnt know what to do. They had to Google it, he said. News traveled quickly through the cabin, but Ellis said no one panicked. He was the rst to get off the plane, he said, where he was met by a police ofcer. In the end, it turned out that the doctor on the ight was right. Ellis was OK, and all thats left of the incident is a mark on his arm. Egan said the airline has never had a poisonous creature on one of its ights before, but it wasnt the rst time someone found a scorpion on a plane. During a Southwest Airlines ight in 2009, an Arizona man was stung while traveling from Phoenix to Indianapolis. His 10-year-old son found the rest of the family of scorpions in the luggage compartment over their seats. Ellis thinks based on photos he took of the eight-legged pest that he was stung by a striped bark scorpion, which is common in Texas. He said he is happy with the ight crews response, and said the airline has offered him 4,000 frequent-ier miles and two round-trip tickets. His return ight to Seattle, he said, was uneventful.

New vaccination law goes into effect

Requirements focus on students grade 7-12 for whooping cough

Are your childs booster shots up to date? Maybe not, given a new law that goes into effect July 1. California students in grades seven through 12 at public and private schools must now prove they have been given the vaccination for whooping cough, also known as pertussis. The law came after a 2010 spike in whooping cough in the state with 9,120 cases the most since 1947 which resulted in the death of 10 infants. This year, the rates of whooping cough remain high, 1,428 cases as of June 15, according to the California Department of Public Health. Of those, 39 were from San Mateo County. Last year, San Mateo County had 189 cases. School districts and medical providers have been working to get the word out to parents. California requires immunizations, which covers whooping cough, before entering kindergarten. Most children need another

booster around 11 years old. For example, as of June, only 54 percent of students who need the shot in the San MateoFoster City Elementary School District had gotten it, said Coordinator of Community Services Amber Farinha. Year-round schools start Aug. 1 in that district giving parents one month to meet the new requirements. A lot of adolescents dont come to the doctor as often, said Dr. Sarah Browne, pediatrician at Kaiser Permanente Redwood City. Theyre healthy. If youre not coming to the doctor, you can miss the opportunity [for immunizations]. Kaiser, like local school districts, sent notications to those who needed shots. Another round of calls is scheduled to go out soon as a reminder to those who still havent been inoculated. As a result, Browne has seen an increase in people coming in for the booster shot. During the spring, Kaiser Permanente Northern California was able to inoculate about 69 percent of the 11- to 17year-olds they serve who needed Tdap

booster inoculations. The booster, known as Tdap, protects against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis or whooping cough. Those unsure if their child needs the shot should check, Browne said. People should come in and get their kids vaccinated, said Browne, who added high school students are exposed to hundreds of other students every day, which increases the chances of illness. People whose children have not been vaccinated should be aware of the symptoms of whooping cough. It begins similarly to a cold with a runny nose, cough, fever and other ulike symptoms, said Browne. The difference is after the runny nose and fever improve, the cough worsens. Whooping cough can be treated with antibiotics. Until a child is treated, he or she is contagious.

SFPUC,neighbors discuss ways to save tree

By Chris Cooney
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Utility ofcials Thursday met with North Fair Oaks neighbors to discuss various options that would prevent a centuries-old oak tree from being cut down to make way for a multi-billion dollar water system upgrade in San Mateo County. The valley oak, which arborists have agreed is more than 250 years old and neighbors have nicknamed Granny, stands in the path of a $4.6 billion project to seismically upgrade the Hetch Hetchy water delivery system. The tree stands on San Francisco Public Utilities Commission property where a new water supply pipeline is replacing two installed in the 1920s and 1930s that are not seismically secure. The scenarios presented at this mornings meeting included moving the tree to another location, tunneling the pipeline under its

roots, and a trenching method that would require trimming the trees roots and burrowing a pipeline around or through them, SFPUC spokesman Tyrone Jue said. The trenching option, which neighborhood spokeswoman Mary Ann Mullen said could cost as low as $60,000, was least favored by the utility, Jue said. It leaves the pipe too close to the roots, Jue said, which jeopardizes the pipelines seismic integrity. Moving the tree to another location would be the most expensive process at $350,000, Jue said. It does not appear likely to happen since the tree would not be able to be moved very far. The 80-foot-tall oak is so big that it could not be moved without temporarily removing major power lines to get it by, Jue said. The tunneling option, which would cost an estimated $309,000, is the one most favored by the utility.

Tunneling is one of the options were continuing to move forward on, Jue said. The tunneling option would include an agreement in which the utility would hand over ownership of the strip of land where the tree stands to an association of neighbors, who would assume liability, tree maintenance and providing increased public access, Jue said. It would take some legwork, Jue said. But if we could turn it into a mini park or garden where everyone could enjoy the tree, it would be a win win. Mullen said the SFPUC is moving ahead with the tunneling scenario without completely considering the trenching option. We thought that we were going to explore more fully the modied trenching opportunity, Mullen said. They really closed down the collaboration on this. The two sides will meet again in two weeks.

STATE
about what we want from our universities, from our police and sheriffs, from our safety net for the most vulnerable. In years past, lawmakers sometimes went months beyond the start of the scal year before approving a budget, including last years record stalemate, which ended in October. While California has a spending plan for its new scal year, Brown has warned that the state will continue to have ongoing decits unless it can nd a way to bring its annual tax revenue in line with spending obligations. The Democratic governor was unable to renew several expiring tax increases, but has vowed to ght for more tax revenue at the ballot next year to help the state pay down debt and restore education funding. The latest budget includes cuts to higher education, welfare, health care for the poor and disabled, in-home supportive services, state parks and other core functions of government. It also relies on optimistic projections that tax revenue will be about $12 billion higher in the coming scal year than projected in January, largely because the wealthy are doing so well. If that higher revenue does not materialize, more cuts would have to be made during the middle of the scal year. That would include enue. Its legislature passed such a law in 2009, but then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed it. Billions of dollars are at stake as a growing number of states look for ways to generate more revenue without violating a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that prohibits a state from forcing businesses to collect sales taxes unless the business has a physical presence, such as a store, in that state. When consumers order from out-ofstate retailers, theyre supposed to pay the tax that is due, but they rarely do and its difcult to enforce. States are trying to get around the Supreme Court restriction by passing laws that broaden the denition of a physical presence. Online retailers, meanwhile, are resisting being deputized as tax collectors. California will become the latest state in which Amazon has parted ways with members of its Amazon Associates Program. Already it has said goodbye to afliates in states including Arkansas, Connecticut and Illinois due to the passage of similar online sales tax laws. Salt authorizing school districts to reduce their school year by seven days. Democrats inserted a provision into the budget preventing school districts from laying off more teachers. Browns nance director said the state was trying to prevent school districts from acting on the so-called trigger cuts before it was necessary. If the claim is that we went out of our way to avoid further additional teacher layoffs guilty, said Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento. The spending plan projects a $3.1 billion shortfall for the scal year that will begin July 1, 2012, and puts $500 million into reserves. California started the year with a projected $26.6 billion shortfall, forcing Democrats to adopt billions of dollars in cuts to social service programs, higher education and corrections. Budgets for the California State University and University of California systems have been cut $750 million each, prompting ofcials to say they will need to raise tuition again. Funding to operate the state court system has been cut by $350 million, and 70 of Californias 278 state parks, beaches and historic areas will close by July 2012 because of cutbacks to the nations largest state park system. Lake City-based Overstock also has shuttered its afliate programs in several states due to the laws. Amazon does collect sales taxes in North Dakota, Kansas, Kentucky and its home state of Washington. It collects in New York, too, as it ghts the state over a 2008 law that was the rst to consider local afliates enough of an in-state presence to require sales tax collection.

that allows budgets but not tax increases to be passed with a simple majority, rather than a two-thirds vote. Lawmakers also were motivated to complete a deal because the same law halted their salaries and living expenses until they passed a balanced budget a penalty that cost most of them about $4,000. In signing the budget, Brown said general fund spending is at its lowest level since the 1972-73 scal year when measured as a share of the states economy. Cuts enacted Thursday and this spring will affect nearly every aspect of California government, from universities and state parks to in-home services for the elderly and mothers trying to work their way off welfare. We really have some retrenchment here across a wide spectrum of important government services, Brown said before signing the budget bills behind closed doors. These are really hard decisions, and going forward Californians are going to have to think hard

General fund vetoes

$22.9 million cut to the trial courts $603,000 cut to mental health treatment for condemned inmates. $323,000 cut to charter schools. The governor also vetoed $246 million in non-general fund expenditures: $235 million in transportation bond funding for local transit,which the governor said appears to be unrelated to the states high-speed rail project. $2.1 million in federal grants from the California Longitudinal Teacher Integrated Data System,a teachertracking system.Brown wrote in his veto message that program is not critical. The budget assumes $4 billion more in tax revenue than was anticipated in the governors May budget revision. Additional cuts will be triggered during the middle of the scal year if the tax revenue falls short of assumptions. If revenue falls short by more than $1 billion,it will trigger the following cuts: $100 million to the University of California. $100 million to California State University. $100 million to the Department of Developmental Services. $100 million for In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS). Imposes a 20 percent reduction in service hours. $72.1 million to Juvenile Justice.Increase county charge for youth offenders sent to the adult prison system. $30 million by increasing community college fees by $10 per unit. $23 million by cutting Child Care assistance. $20 million to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. $15.9 million in state grants for local libraries. $15 million in Medi-Cal cuts.Extends a cut to providers in all managed care plans. $15 million by eliminating vertical prosecution grants. $10 million by eliminating IHSS anti-fraud efforts. If revenue falls short by more than $2 billion, the following cuts will be made: $1.5 billion in K-12 funding, which could reduce the school year by seven days. $72 million to community colleges. $248 million by eliminating home-to-school transportation.

Overstock too declined to say how many afliates in California refer sales to it, but it said they number in the hundreds. According to the California-based Performance Marketing Association, there are 200,000 afliates across the country, 25,000 of whom are located in California.

PUBLIC NOTICE Computer Programming Error Affects Local Health Plan Members The Health Plan of San Mateo (HPSM), a local non-prot Health Coverage provider for approximately 95,000 County residents, sent approximately 700 approval notications to the wrong members from April 1 to June 8, 2011. The notications were for certain medical procedures that require prior authorization (a service the Plan has to approve before it is provided). Once the Plan approves the service, it sends each member a notication letter, called an Authorization Approval. These notications are considered Private Health Information (PHI). Each HPSM Authorization Approval letter contains the members name, address, service requested, and HPSM member ID number. An HPSM Authorization Approval letter does not contain the members social security number. HPSM discovered the Authorization Approval letter error on June 9, 2011 and immediately xed the coding problem. HPSM also notied the appropriate state and federal agencies and alerted affected members. At this time, HPSM does not have any information that unauthorized activity has taken place with the PHI of affected members, but it will monitor these accounts for suspicious activity, and follow up with members if needed. If you are an HPSM member and have not received notication that your account was affected, then you are not one of the 700 members who were sent the wrong Authorization Approvals.

Kansas Planned Parenthood gets abortion license

Local briefs
Aratas Pumpkin Farm gets permit
The San Mateo County Planning Commission approved a seasonal permit to Aratas Pumpkin Farm Wednesday morning so it can continue to run a hay maze and train ride on eight acres of farmland south of Half Moon Bay. The Planning Commission approved the permit for this year on a 3-1 vote. Ofcials, however, said the farm, run by Chris Gounalakis, has some land-use problems that would have to be dealt with next year. Gounalakis had never applied for permits for entertainment purposes until this year.

TOPEKA, Kan. Kansas avoided becoming the rst state in the country without an abortion provider by granting Planned Parenthood a license Thursday to continue performing abortions under new regulations being challenged in federal court. The new rules from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment tell abortion providers what drugs and equipment they must have on hand, how big some of their rooms must be and the specic temperatures allowed in procedure and recovery rooms. The department is imposing them under a new licensing law that takes effect Friday. The licensing law is part of an unprecedented surge of anti-abortion legislation that has advanced through Republican-controlled legislatures in many states. Collectively, the measures create an array of new obstacles legal, financial and psychological for women seeking abortions and doctors performing them.

Farm bureau names new leader

The San Mateo County Farm Bureau has hired William Gass as its next executive director. Gass was hired during a Farm Bureau board meeting Monday night and will ll the seat once occupied by Jack Olsen, who died last year. Gass previously taught agriculture at Half Moon Bay High School.

Woman tries suicide on Teen to trial for fatal crash BART tracks
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fireghters from Foster City and Hayward look out onto the Bay yesterday after a report came in of a capsized boat near the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge. A Coast Guard helicopter also patrolled the Bay in search of the vessel.The report turned out to be false, however, as the capsized boat turned out to be a oating bag of garbage.

SAN FRANCISCO Bay Area Rapid Transit ofcials say a woman jumped in front of an oncoming commuter train in an apparent suicide attempt and survived with no serious injuries. The incident took place Thursday morning at the Glen Park station in San Francisco. BART spokesman Linton Johnson says a woman in her 40s jumped onto the tracks and lied down as a train approached at about 30 mph. The operator spotted her and applied the brakes, but the train couldnt stop in time and rolled over the woman. Johnson says she escaped serious injury because she was lying down between the rails. Witnesses say the woman got up and climbed back onto the platform. She was found sitting on the stairs when BART police and rescue workers arrived and was treated for cuts and bruises.

The allegedly intoxicated South San Francisco teen whose 17-year-old passenger died after his car crossed trafc and set off a multi-car crash near Brisbane in February will stand trial on charges of gross vehicular manslaughter and drunk driving. Sean Danniel Quintero, 18, waived his right to a preliminary hearing yesterday, propelling him straight to a Superior Court trial. Attorneys opted for that route because the preliminary hearing would have simply consisted of one ofcer testifying to what witnesses said, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said. He will enter a plea July 22 and set a date for trial. Meanwhile, he remains in custody in lieu of $325,000 bail, a drop from his original hold without any bail. Quintero is charged in the death of Margaret Qaqish, a high school senior who would have turned 18 the following week. He faces up to 11 years in prison if convicted.

On Feb. 5, Qaqish was in a car belonging to Quinteros mother, sitting in the middle of the rear seat, as they and two other teens drove back to South San Francisco after a night of reportedly heavy drinking in Daly City and San Francisco. At approximately 3:30 a.m., as the group loudly discussed what radio station should play, Quintero drove at roughly 60 mph toward cars stopped for an unrelated accident. Unable to stop in time, Quintero reportedly veered to the right, crossing over two lanes of trafc and rear-ended a car that hit into a third before stopping. No one was injured in those two vehicles but inside Quinteros car two of the passengers had minor injuries like bruising and chest pain. Qaqish was thrown forward by the impact and knocked unconscious. Authorities have not said whether she was wearing a seat belt. She died at the hospital. The California Highway Patrol reported nding an open alcohol container in the car and Quinteros blood alcohol level 90 minutes later tested .15 and .16.

Two clerks were cited for selling alcohol to a minor Wednesday in a decoy operation conducted by the South San Francisco Police Department. The minor decoy operation involves minors who work under the direct supervision of ofcers. The decoy operation visited six different establishments Wednesday in the city and two of them sold a minor alcohol, according to police. The establishments face a $250 ne. The department also conducted a shouldertap operation to target adults who buy alcohol for minors but no citations were issued Wednesday. In the past ve months, minor decoys have been able to purchase alcohol from 13 of the citys 59 licensed locations, according to police.

Fundraiser set for unsolved homicide

Final shuttle crew besieged for favors

Crack offenders eligible for early release
WASHINGTON As many as 12,000 people in federal prison for crack-related crimes can get their sentences reduced as a result of a new law that brought the penalties for the drug more closely in line with those for powdered cocaine, a government commission decided Thursday. The decision by the U.S. Sentencing Commission applies to approximately 1 in 17 inmates in the federal system. Congress last year substantially lowered the sentences for crack-related crimes such as possession and trafcking, changing a 1980s law that was criticized as racially discriminatory because it came down extra hard on a drug common in poor, black neighborhoods. The question before the commission Thursday was whether people already locked up under the old law should benet retroactively from the changes. The sixmember commission unanimously decided in their favor. I believe that the commission has no choice but to make this right, said Ketanji Brown Jackson, a vice chairwoman of the commission. I say justice demands this result.

HOUSTON The four astronauts assigned to NASAs last space shuttle ight cant seem to escape all the fuss and hubbub. With just eight days until Atlantis blasts off, the astronauts said Thursday theyre still getting last-minute requests. Relatives, acquaintances and specialinterest groups are all clamoring for launch tickets. And just about everyone wants the astronauts to take something of theirs on the last shuttle ride. People are procrastinators, right? Youve always wanted to go see a shuttle launch, and all of a sudden, its the last one, astronaut Sandra Magnus said in an interview with the Associated Press. But its really nice to see all the enthusiasm. At a news conference, commander Christopher Ferguson said theres so much hoopla surrounding this last mission that he cant wait to go into quarantine Friday.

Liftoff is set for 11:26 a.m. next Friday for the 12-day delivery mission to the International Space Station. Ferguson said hell use the peace of quarantine to gather his thoughts, take some notes and do all the things that got lost in the excitement of the mission. Looking forward to a little bit of quiet time, he told reporters. Even before the hourlong news conference began, photographers crowded the stage where Ferguson and his crewmates all dressed in dark suits sat at a long podium. Ferguson pulled out his cellphone and recorded a half-minute of video of the onslaught. The commander said even though the

30-year shuttle program is ending hes not hoping for any launch delays that would stretch it out. Eight days away, it just sounds so nal, he said in response to a reporters question. Were ready. Were trained. Co-pilot Douglas Hurley said the astronauts have the easy part, sitting on the rocket and launching. Its real tough on your family and friends, he said. Astronaut Rex Walheim said the crew has been bombarded with requests for NASA passes to see the launch up close from within Kennedy Space Center. Each astronaut got 330 tickets to dole out. Veterans have put in requests, as well as sick children. Plus there are all the family, friends, co-workers, even casual acquaintances. Walheim said it hasnt been easy, but they did their best to be fair.

Texas wetland restoration could be model for Gulf

BAYTOWN, Texas Brown pelicans, long-necked egrets, amingo-like roseate spoonbills and squawking seagulls y lazily around a Texas Gulf Coast island. Nearby, a toddler-aged wetland seeded with marsh grass completes the ecosystem, its thousands of inhabitants unaware their home is a manmade creation dredged from the Houston Ship Channel. Its all part of a 20-year-old project to restore lost wetlands and islands off the Texas coast. The federal government is hoping it could become a model for rebuilding these crucial ecosystems elsewhere in the ve-state Gulf region. This and other efforts to revitalize the environment and economy of the long-neglected coastal area are being partially bankrolled by a $1 billion fund from BP, which agreed to pay the money as part of its responsibility for the massive oil spill that fouled the Gulf of Mexico.

S.F.weighs in on proposed circumcision ban

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO The city of San Francisco has taken the unusual step of responding to a legal challenge to a local ballot measure that would ban the circumcision of male children The city attorneys ofce on Thursday

led a legal brief in response to a lawsuit by a coalition of Jews and Muslims seeking to remove the initiative from the Nov. 8 ballot. The lawsuit argues that California law bars local governments from restricting medical procedures. The city says if medical professionals are excluded from the proposed ban, it

would solely target religious faiths that practice circumcision and would therefore be unconstitutional. The measure would prohibit circumcision on males under the age of 18, making it a misdemeanor punishable by a ne or jail time. There are no religious exemptions.

Conditional OK for Colbert campaign

By Andrew Miga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Federal Election Commission said Thursday that comedian Stephen Colbert can use his TV shows resources to boost his political action committee, but he must disclose some major expenses as in-kind contributions from the shows corporate owners. Colbert played it straight during his appearance before the commission, letting his attorney do most of the talking while saving his trademark quips for a crowd that gathered outside the commission building after the meeting. I dont accept the status quo, he told the crowd, brandishing a portable credit card processing machine. I do accept Visa, MasterCard or American Express. Many in the crowd handed Colbert their credit cards or dollar bills as contributions. Asked what point he was trying to make about corporate America, Colbert did not miss a beat. None, he quipped. I want their money. Colbert, who plays a conservative TV pundit on The Colbert Report, is forming Colbert Super PAC, a type of political action committee that will allow him to raise unlimited amounts of money from corporations, unions and individuals. The money will be used to support or oppose candidates in the 2012 elections through independent expendi-

tures such as TV ads. Colbert has not indicated what kinds of candidates he might support. The FEC decision comes amid a broader erosion of campaign nance regulations in the wake of recent court rulings and with Republicans on the Federal Election Commission and elsewhere pushing for a rollback to give corporations and other wealthy donors stronger sway in nancing campaigns. Colbert had asked the commission for a media exemption to allow him to use his shows airtime, staff and other resources for his political action committee without having to publicly disclose them as in-kind contributions from Comedy Centrals parent company, Viacom Inc. In-kind contributions are given as goods or services rather than money. Colbert has said those undisclosed contributions could include the use of his shows staff to create TV advertisements about candidates that would air as paid commercials on other shows and networks.

WASHINGTON Another unintended consequence of President Barack Obamas health care law has emerged: Older adults of the same age and income with similar medical histories could pay widely different amounts for private health insurance due to a quirk of the complex legislation. Those differences could be substantial. A 62-year-old could end up paying $1,200 a year more than his neighbor, in one example. And experts say the disparities among married couples would be much larger. A leading GOP senator is considering a x. Aware of the problem, the Obama administration says it is also exploring options to head off what could become yet another controversy over the health care overhaul. Starting in 2014, the law expands coverage to more than 30 million uninsured people and requires most Americans to carry insurance. The glitch affects mainly older adults who are too young for a Medicare card but have reached 62, when people can qualify for early retirement from Social Security. Sixty-two is the most common age at which Americans start taking Social Security, although their

monthly benet is reduced. As the law now stands, those who take early retirement would get a significant break on their health insurance premiums. Part or all of their Social Security benefits would not be counted as income in figuring out whether they can get federal subsidies to help pay their premiums until they join Medicare at 65. There is an equity issue here, said Robert Laszewski, a former health insurance executive turned policy consultant. If you get a job for 40 hours a week, youre going to pay more for your health insurance than if you dont get a job. The administration says it is working on the problem. We are monitoring this issue and exploring options that would take into account the needs of Social Security beneficiaries, many of whom are disabled or individuals of limited means, Emily McMahon, a top Treasury Department policy ofcial, said in a statement to the Associated Press. McMahon doubted the health care discount would start a stampede toward early retirement at a time when many experts are urging older Americans to stay on the job longer. Only a limited number of individuals would decide theyre better off not working, she said.

Hundreds of thousands strike U.K.pension cuts

By Jill Lawles

LONDON Hundreds of thousands of British teachers and public sector workers swapped classrooms and ofces for picket lines in what unions hope will be the rst salvo in a summer of discontent against the Conservative-led governments austerity plans. Airport operators had warned there could be long lines at immigration entry points because

of walkouts by passport ofcers, but most of Britains airports, including Londons Heathrow and Manchester, said it was business as usual. One union leader estimated more than 500,000 teachers and civil servants joined the one-day strike Thursday, affecting courthouses, tax ofces and employment centers, as well as schools. The government estimated 100,000 strikers although its tally did not include teachers, whose walkout closed or disrupted 11,000 schools in England and Wales.

OTTAWA, Ontario Prince William and Kate tried out their French in public and put on their best British charm for screaming Canadians as the royal newlyweds began their rst ofcial overseas trip Thursday. Poised and condent, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, as they are formally known, thrilled the crowds with warm, unscripted gestures, wading into throngs of well-wishers to shake hands and accept owers and other gifts. To cheers of delight, William addressed his hosts in both English and French, then cracked a joke about his language skills. It will improve as we go on, the prince quipped, then noted how much he and Kate were truly looking forward to this adventure. Catherine and I are so delighted to be here in Canada. Instilled in us by our parents and grandparents, who love this country, we have been looking forward to this moment for a very long time and before we were married, we both had a longing to come here together, he said at the residence of the governor general of Canada. They are beautiful together, like a fairy tale, gushed 15-year-old Daphnee Dubouchet-Olshesh, who was in the crowd with her mother. He just sounded so cute and adorable with his English accent. He did pretty good with his French. Brenda Hoerle, who drove six and half hours from Waterloo, Ontario, with her two daughters, agreed. He did wonderfully. His candor was very appealing to the crowd. He joked about the

fact that his French will improve. Thats what we look to see of the monarchy, to see that they are normal human beings, she said. Kates French also got a thumbs-up. Mayor Marc Bureau of Gatineau, Quebec, said he greeted the couple in French and Kate replied in French that it was a pleasure. I think French classes have served her well, he said. Arriving aboard a Canadian military plane, the couple were greeted by bright sunshine and stiff breezes along with dignitaries and cheering crowds of thousands. The royal pair then headed straight to the National War Memorial, where they were met by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his wife, Laureen. Each laid a wreath before stepping into the crowd to speak individually with veterans.

Minnesota braces for government shutdown over taxes

ST. PAUL, Minn. In an echo of the debate unfolding in Washington, Minnesota hurtled toward a midnight government shutdown Thursday in a dispute over taxes and spending that could force thousands of layoffs, bring road projects to a standstill and close state parks just ahead of the Fourth of July weekend. As the deadline drew ever closer without a resolution, people rushed to get drivers and shing licenses, and park ofcials began warning campers to pack their gear and leave. Though nearly all states are having severe budget problems this year, Minnesota stood alone on the brink of a shutdown, thanks to Democratic Gov. Mark Daytons determination to raise taxes on high-earners to close a $5 billion decit and the Republican Legislatures refusal to go along. Negotiations between Dayton and legislative leaders were tful, starting and stopping with no outward signs of progress, and details were

Who Are private HEROES ? How Firefighters Set Example

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

A severely flawed,but on-time budget

he good news is that the state Legislature was able to send a budget to Gov. Jerry Brown to sign before todays deadline. That hasnt happened in quite some time and will give everyone affected by it most notably local governments who look to the state for an indication of their nances a sense of solidity. However, that sense of solidity is based on many presumptions. While Brown attested he was opposed to gimmicks in the budget, this one has several. First of all, it relies on revenue projections of $4 billion that may or may not materialize. After May projections showed the possibility of higher revenue both now and in the future, legislators felt comfortable in kicking the can down the road and staving off cuts until those projections do not materialize. So its a Hail Mary pass, a punt, a can kicked down the road. The May projections were based in part

Editorial
because of an increase in capital gains taxes the state is collecting with the rise of the stock market. That increase was spurred by the Federal Reserves second Quantitative Easing program, that has since ended. What happens next with the stock market is anyones guess, but there doesnt seem to be any indication there will be a third Quantitative Easing program unless the economy begins to slip into double dip territory. However, initial public offerings like LinkedIn, and the subsequent cashing out of stocks will not only make some Californians billionaires, it will help ease the states cash crunch by delivering a portion of those proceeds in the form of taxes. That is a dangerous game weve seen before during the dotcom Gold Rush and any overreliance on that has severe pitfalls. This particular budget has an out. If the revenue is not realized, then there will be additional cuts. Thats the kicking the can down the road part, which is slightly different than previous budgets since we all know what is in that can. Another portion of the budget that will surely prove to be problematic is the taking of $1.7 billion in redevelopment funds. Not only have many cities allocated both current money and future money into projects to protect them from this particular taking, there will surely be lawsuits wrangling over the states right to eliminate redevelopment agencies and take the revenue. If the legal action by the League of California Cities is successful, that will be another pot of money no longer available to the state. The California populace helped

the Legislatures ability to pass an on-time budget by passing Proposition 22 and allowing a majority-only vote as long as there were no tax increases included. That proposition also cut off paychecks for legislators if they did not meet the deadline. Which one had more impact, we will never know for sure. What we do know is that there were additional tools to pass a budget that had less tricks than in times past. But this one is far from perfect. It may end up great. The revenue projections may turn out as expected and the most painful of cuts can be avoided. Or it may not and there will surely be another push for an increase in the state sales tax. In the meantime, the temporary tax hikes expire today and we can see if the lower tax rate will do anything to spur spending, retain jobs and help the states economy while we legislators hope we can spend our way out of this and that rich investors sell enough stock to ll up state coffers.

Letters to the editor

Governor should veto Senate Bill 89
The Daily Journal received a copy of this letter addressed to Gov. Jerry Brown: Im writing to strongly encourage you to veto Senate Bill 89. SB 89 came into print late in the day on June 28, 2011 and was rushed through the process with little discussion. It contains a provision that would sweep approximately $130 million of city general fund revenues from the current vehicle license fee formula to a special law enforcement account beginning July 1, 2011. Given our preliminary analysis this will cost our community between $100,000 and $125,000 per year. These are general purpose funds that are desperately needed here at the local level to provide vital services which include re and emergency services, library, parks and other fundamental programs. This measure attempts to shift these funds from our community to be used by law enforcement outside our boundaries and around the state. We have cut our staff, our services and our budget this legislation will pull even more from our budget at a time when we can ill-afford any level of further reduction. The lack of legislative transparency to rush this measure through with no opportunity for public input is an embarrassment to the state. I urge you to do the right thing, and veto SB 89. has vacancies as do other places. A place for budding journalists? While this is a noble idea, it, too, is 20th-century thinking. A place for entrepreneurs? Why? Mountain View and Sunnyvale have lots of buildings for lease. I think the resolution will come from a paradigm shift in use. Parking? Why? A building that uses no parking or travel to the site, as necessary, is part of that shift. So, this puts the building as a center for a virtual collection of thoughts with a minimal interaction and guidance of people involved. Radical? Not so much when you think of the possibilities that will fail unless this paradigm shift takes place. The conclusion is to stop thinking 20th century (which we are all products of) and to start thinking 2020. more services and departments that we can go without for the time being while we clean up this nancial mess that we are in. I agree with his statement, It should be publicly known that this same group of four people, Carole Groom, Don Horsley, Rose Jacobs Gibson and Adrienne Tisser just approved a 3 percent raise for San Mateo County sheriffs deputies. So not only are they borrowing (how do they plan to pay back) money from the general fund to balance the budget, they give raises to Special groups of employees. Its not attention San Mateo County.

ay after day, Frank McCourt manages to expose the Los Angeles Dodgers, the once-revered franchise he now owns, to new indignities. His feud with Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig prompted Selig to install a representative to examine the teams finances. McCourt has struggled for the last few months to scrounge up the cash to make the teams payroll. And now, in an effort to hold off Selig and maintain control of the team, hes put the Dodgers into Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Were hardly in a position to deride bankruptcy protection for better or worse, its an accepted tool in the modern business kit but McCourts use of it suggests his desperation in his increasingly shrill campaign to keep the team he bought in 2004. He was approaching a day of reckoning the end-of-the month team payroll and Seligs refusal to approve a longterm television deal with Fox meant that money hed counted on wasnt there. So McCourt threw a wrench in the machine, figuring that bankruptcy protection would slow Seligs determination to wrest control of the franchise and buy him some time. That may work, but its a sad moment in the teams history. One of baseballs most storied franchises the team that integrated baseball and that has stood for decades as a symbol of Los Angeles pride now has laid its debts bare. What they show, among other things, is that the Dodgers are paying significant sums of money to players and former players who no longer wear a Dodgers uniform. The teams biggest creditor, in fact, is Manny Ramirez, who played a couple of exciting seasons in blue before being suspended for using banned substances. He sputtered along after that. The Dodgers still owe him almost $21 million. Perhaps more worrisome to the franchises future is that two players who have yet to take the field for the Dodgers, Zach Lee and Alexander Santana, also must line up with other creditors to get whatever comes of the proceedings. In filing for bankruptcy Monday, McCourt blamed the Dodgers difficulties on Selig, who he said had turned his back on the Dodgers, treated us differently and forced us to the point we find ourselves in today. By contrast, McCourt was full of praise for himself. He boasted of having turned the team around and producing results on the field. Meanwhile, the Dodgers continue to play lackluster ball theyre vying for the worst record in the National League West before half-filled stadiums. Bankruptcy may let McCourt hold on a while longer; the question is whether thats good for anyone other than McCourt.

Stocks rise as Greece clears final bailout hurdle

By David K. Randall and Francesca Levy

Wall Street
cue funds to Greece. The country needs the money to avoid defaulting on its debt. A default by Greece could disrupt nancial markets and lead to a widespread European nancial crisis. Traders were also reassured by encouraging signals about the U.S. economy. A trade group reported that manufacturing in Chicago sped up unexpectedly in June. Analysts had forecast a decline. Earlier in the week, Nike Inc. reported earnings that were better than analysts had predicted. That led many investors to believe that high gas prices havent stopped consumers from spending on non-necessities. The Dow rose 152.92 points, or 1.3 percent, to 12,414.34. The S&P 500 added 13.23, or 1 percent, to 1,320.64. The Nasdaq composite gained 33.03, or 1.2 percent, to 2,773.52. Companies that typically benet from global expansion led the Dow. Intel Corp., Caterpillar Inc., and HewlettPackard Co. each gained more than 2.4 percent. Stocks are still below the 2011 highs they reached in late April, when a series of weak economic reports indicated that the U.S. economy was slowing down. Since then investors have been debating whether the slowdown would be a shortterm blip or the beginning of a long stall in the economic recovery.

Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market: NYSE Callaway Golf Co.,down 11 cents at $6.22 The golf products maker shook up its leadership,announced job cuts and said that it expects a weak second quarter. CF Industries Holdings Inc., down $7.68 at $141.67 U.S. farmers planted more corn in spring, which may bring down prices,weighing on farmersincome and demand for fertilizer. Worthington Industries Inc., up $2.07 at $23.10 The metals manufacturer raised its quarterly dividend by 20 percent to 12 cents and said it would buy back up to 10 million shares. McCormick & Co.Inc.,down $1.43 at $49.57 The spice and seasonings maker lowered its 2011 earnings guidance due to costs related to an acquisition and joint venture. KB Home,down 30 cents at $9.78 The homebuilders stock fell for a second day after its second-quarter loss more than doubled due to charges and lackluster sales. Nasdaq EBay Inc.,up $1.41 at $32.27 Analysts said the Federal Reserves new rule capping debit card fees paid by merchants shouldnt hurt its Paypal division. First Solar Inc.,up $2.85 at $132.27 The Department of Energy approved nearly $4.5 billion in conditional loan guarantees for three of the companys big projects. Hanmi Financial Corp.,up 16 cents at $1.07 The bank canceled its stock sale, saying the price offered for shares was unfavorable and would wait for better market conditions.

NEW YORK Four days, 480 points. Thats how the Dow Jones industrial average closed the nal four days of June. The Dow added more than 150 points on Thursday alone after Greece cleared the nal hurdle needed to receive its next installment of emergency loans. A pickup in manufacturing around Chicago also pushed indexes higher. The weeklong rally began Monday when Nike Inc. reported quarterly results that showed that consumers were spending more than expected. The stock markets gains put it on track for the best week since July of last year. It was a stunning reversal from the beginning of the month, when the Dow dropped nearly 280 points in one day. The rst day of June, reports showed that auto sales fell sharply in May and that private companies were hiring far fewer people than expected. The late surge was not enough to turn the broader stock market positive for the month, but it brought the Dow up 0.8 percent for the quarter. The Standard and Poors 500 index and Nasdaq composite each lost about 0.3 percent for the month. Thursdays gains came after Greek lawmakers passed a cost-cutting bill that had to be approved before international lenders would release $17 billion in res-

Jobless tax for employers expires quietly

Wells Fargo spent $1.9 million on lobbying in first quarter
NEW YORK Wells Fargo & Co. spent $1.9 million in the rst quarter to lobby the federal government on bank reserves and other issues, according to a congressional disclosure report. Thats nearly double the $1 million spent in the year-ago period, and less than the $2.1 million spent in the fourth quarter of 2010. The company also lobbied the federal government on legislation involving housing nance and debit cards. San Francisco-based Wells and other banks fear the Dodd-Frank law overhauling bank rules could make it difcult for them to make money. Many details of the new rules have yet to be hammered out. Wells and other banks have been lobbying to shape the outcome. In the January-to-March period, the company lobbied Congress, the Treasury and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, according to the report led with the House clerks ofce. Margaret Simmons, who worked for Sen. Thomas Carper, D-Del., is among those registered to lobby for Wells. Lobbyists are required to disclose activities that could inuence members of the executive and legislative branches, under a federal law enacted in 1995.

WASHINGTON Nearly every private employer in the U.S. will get a tax cut on Friday. It wont affect workers paychecks. But the expiration of a 35-year-old temporary unemployment tax about $14 a year per worker will mean real money for some big companies at a time when President Barack Obama is pushing Congress to raise taxes on businesses by closing some loopholes. Amid a fierce debate over whether higher taxes should be part of a deal to reduce annual deficits in exchange for letting the government go further into debt the small cut in federal unemployment taxes has received little attention on Capitol Hill. Most employers probably dont even know they are getting it, especially those who are being hit with bigger increas-

es in state jobless taxes. But business groups say every little bit helps, whether youre a small employer struggling to make a payroll or a huge company like Wal-Mart, with more than 1.4 million U.S. workers. Thats nearly $20 million a year in savings for WalMart. Some worry that reducing federal unemployment taxes while the jobless rate hovers above 9 percent will add to the systems nancial problems. But the tax cut will save businesses nationwide more than $14 billion over the next decade, according to congressional estimates. The death of any tax on jobs, no matter how big or small, is a historic moment and one to be celebrated, said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee. The fact that it has taken 35 years for this temporary tax to expire clearly illustrates the dangers of higher taxes once in place, they are unlikely

to ever go away. The expiring levy was a 0.2 percent surtax on the rst $7,000 of a workers wages. Getting rid of it effectively lowers the federal unemployment tax from 0.8 percent to 0.6 percent for most employers. Thats a decrease from $56 a worker to $42 a worker each year a 25 percent cut. The tax is paid by nearly all private employers, who also must pay state unemployment taxes. Some services performed by employees of religious or charitable organizations are not subject to federal unemployment taxes. Other workers who are paid by commission also are exempt. The surtax was rst imposed in 1976 to help pay for federal unemployment benets distributed in the 1970s. The tax was supposed to be temporary, but like a lot of short-term measures in Washington, it endured and was extended at least eight times, under both Republican and Democratic presidents.

Judge: Google Wi-Fi snooping lawsuits can proceed

U.S.rules partially against Kodak in Apple dispute

ROCHESTER, N.Y. The U.S. International Trade Commission issued a mixed verdict Thursday in Eastman Kodak Co.s high-stakes patent-infringement dispute with the makers of the iPhone and BlackBerry phones. The ruling disappointed investors. The trade-dispute arbiter in Washington, D.C., said it is essentially agreeing with one of its judges, who threw out the photography pioneers claims. The federal agency did nd limited patent infringement. It also sent some matters back to the judge for further review, and Kodak could still prevail in the remaining claims. Kodaks stock fell 16 percent.

SAN FRANCISCO A judge ruled that Google Inc. overstepped its bounds by enabling its vehicles to collect emails, Internet passwords and Web surng behavior while photographing neighborhoods for the search giants popular Street View mapping feature. Google has apologized for the snoop-

ing, promised to stop collecting the data and said what it did was inadvertent but not illegal. But a federal judge late Wednesday rejected Googles claim that data transmitted wirelessly without password protections are essentially publicly accessible radio broadcasts. Its the rst such court ruling of its kind. U.S. District Court Judge James Ware said that wireless networks accessed by millions in their homes, coffee shops

and wherever Wi-Fi is offered are not exempt from the Wiretap Act, which makes it illegal to eavesdrop on electronic communications that are not readily accessible to the general public such as cell phone conversations. Ware said that Google employed sophisticated computer tools, including use of a so-called wireless sniffer, to capture, store and decipher data packets transmitted wirelessly.

Reports say FTC investigating Tw itter

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Federal regulators are looking into the interactions between Twitter and a company called Ubermedia, which develops applications that help users follow and communicate with each other on Twitters popular online messaging service, according to two published reports.

The Federal Trade Commission inquiry is still at a preliminary stage and the focus remains unclear, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. The Business Insider blog, which rst reported the probe, said FTC antitrust investigators are studying how Twitter deals with outside companies that build applications for its messaging platform such as photo-sharing, URL-shorten-

ing and advertising services and whether it is trying to limit competition by buying or banning outside developers. The FTC regularly looks into complaints often led by rivals of anticompetitive behavior by companies in the technology sector. The initial probes do not always turn into full-blown investigations.

Honda compact SUV a top seller

By Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

2011 Honda CR-V 4WD EX-L Navi BASE PRICE: $21,895 for 2WD LX; $22,595 for 2WD SE;$23,145 for 4WD LX;$23,845 for 4WD SE; $24,295 for 2WD EX; $25,445 for 4WD EX; $26,845 for 2WD EX-L; $28,095 for $WD EX-L; $30,095 for 4WD EX-L with navigation. AS TESTED: $30,905.

Behind the wheel

TYPE: Front-engine, four-wheel-drive, vepassenger, compact, crossover sport utility vehicle. ENGINE: 2.4-liter, double overhead came, inline four cylinder with i-VTEC.

MILEAGE:21 mpg (city),27 mpg (highway). TOP SPEED: NA. LENGTH:179.3 inches. WHEELBASE:103.1 inches. CURB WEIGHT:3,554 pounds. BUILT AT:Japan. OPTIONS:None. DESTINATION CHARGE:$810.

The ve-seat Honda CR-V sport utility vehicle is well-mannered and easy to drive, comfortable to get into and attractive without being ashy. Best of all, it keeps earning awards. Three months ago, for example, the CR-V was named top crossover/compact SUV in dependability by J.D. Power and Associates. The dependability study surveyed recent owner-reported problems with 3-year-old vehicles. The CR-V is a recommended buy of Consumer Reports magazine, where its predicted reliability is better than average. And, through the rst ve months of this year, the CR-V is the second best-selling SUV in the United States, with sales up 35 percent from the year-ago period and topping 95,400. Only the Ford Escape has more SUV sales this year. For 2011, the CR-V formula remains the same and relatively simple. Theres one engine a four cylinder and one transmission an automatic. There are just a handful of trim levels and few options because many features, including all safety items, are standard. Buyers cant get a V-6 in the CR-V as they can in the Ford Escape. They cant get a third row of seats as they can in the Toyota RAV4. And they cannot nd a 2011 CR-V with manual transmission. Starting MSRP, including destination charge is $22,705 for the base, 2011 CR-V with two-wheel drive, 180-horsepower, fourcylinder engine and automatic transmission. This base model includes standard remote entry, chrome-colored grille and window trim, heat-rejecting window glass, oor mats, a rear seat that folds down and out of the way in

Three projects to boost the value of your garage

By Bree Fowler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK For a lot of homeowners, their garage has become their go-to place for stashing everything but their actual cars. But for those looking to sell their home in todays tough real estate market, or who are just looking to get the most out of the space, a garage facelift may be the way to go. Here are three steps you can take to improve your garage:

1. CLEAN IT UP
Theres no dispute among realtors and design experts: The worst condition a garage can be in, especially when youre trying to sell, is messy and disorganized. Theres nothing people hate to see more than cobwebs or evidence of critters, says Elizabeth Blakeslee, an associate broker with Coldwell Banker in Washington, D.C. The garage should be kept in the same manner as the rest of the house, she says. Make sure its tidy, paint the oor and garage door and keep the roof in as good a condition as the one over the rest of the house.

To eliminate clutter, it helps to store items close to where they are needed, says Barbara Butensky, director of marketing for GarageTek, a Syosset, NY-based company that makes custom garage organization and storage systems. For example, extra rolls of paper towels and other household items should be kept close to the entrance to the house, while lawn care items might be better kept close to an exit to the yard, she said. In addition, its good to keep the kids toys and bikes corralled in a specic corner. Its preferable to choose one thats far away from dangerous chemicals or tools, which ideally should be kept locked up for safety reasons.

2. ADD SHELVES AND CABINETS

Its amazing how much more you can do with a garage and how much better it looks if you just get everything off the oor. Shelving units and cabinets, preferably made out of heavy-duty plastics can help de-clutter the space. Most garages are not climate controlled, Butensky says. PVC (cabinets and shelves) holds up the best to moisture heat and cold. It can even take a few hits from kids bats and to set themselves on the seat cushions without having to climb up or lower themselves. Rear-seat passengers get decent views out because rear seat cushions are up a bit, theater-style, from the front seats. Rear seats go fore and aft on tracks, too, and the rear oor is nicely at. The driver has a tilt and telescoping steering wheel plus seat controls to get comfortable, and the high ride height gives good views out over cars and through other SUVs windows. Steering had a mainstream feel in the test CR-V 4WD EX-L, and the turning circle of 37.8 feet made for comfortable U-turns. The 2.4-liter, double overhead cam four cylinder engine has Hondas i-VTEC system for valve control to get the most performance and mileage out of the gasoline. And on at roads and in city trafc, the CRV performed admirably. But on highway uphill climbs and when I suddenly oored the accelerator, I could hear the engine buzzing hard and the power came on steadily, not immediately. Torque peaks at 161 foot-pounds at 4,400 rpm, so its not a forceful feel of

toys and even the garage door. Think you dont have space for them? Look up. Butensky says cabinets and shelves can often be installed near the celling, freeing up precious wall and oor space. Certain large items that dont get used a lot like kayaks and sleds can also be hung from the ceiling or placed on racks or hangers that hang from the ceiling. GarageTek offers their design service for free, in part to let homeowners know exactly what the renovations will look like and how much its going to cost. A fully-equipped one-wall shelving and cabinet system typically starts at $2,500, while a full two-car garage with ooring can run between $10,000 and $12,000, Butensky says. Although that may seem like a lot to spend on a garage, the costs can pale in comparison to a kitchen renovation, which can easily cost $50,000 or more for a space half the size of a two-car garage.

3. RENOVATE
For those whose home just didnt come with the playroom, art studio or man cave thrust in the CR-V. But the five-speed automatic shifted smoothly. Note there is no manumatic shiftfor-yourself mechanism in the CR-V. I got 21.6 miles per gallon in 65 percent city driving and 35 percent highway, with a range of some 320 miles on a single tank of regular. But this was less than the combined 23-mpg rating of the federal government for the 2011 CR-V, which includes 21 mpg in city driving and 27 mpg on the highway and a range of 350 miles. And there are many other small-to-compact SUVs that have higher government ratings. As examples, the 2011 Equinox is rated at 22/32 mpg, while the 2011 RAV4 is rated at 22/28 mpg. I liked the size of the CR-V, which maneuvered well into compact parking spots. Road noise can be fatiguing. I heard every manhole cover that the 17-inch tires rode over. I didnt notice much wind noise, however. Passengers and I felt many road bumps, too, mostly as mild to moderate vibrations. On potholed, uneven roads, the CR-Vs rm sus-

they need, garages can be converted into extra rooms even small apartments. Butensky says some of her companys clients have chosen to turn part or all of their garages into a living or recreational space. Projects ranged from something as simple as painting squares for hopscotch or a shufeboard court on the oor, to the fancy indoor rink complete with synthetic ice that a customer in Palm Beach, Fla. had installed. The key to any renovation is doing it right. Just like a kitchen or a bathroom, a garage done cheaply and without the right people involved wont attract buyers or allow you to recoup your investment if you sell, Blakeslee says. Homeowners interested in big projects such as enclosing their garage and turning it into a climate-controlled extra room need to talk to a realtor to nd out if thats something that reduces the value of homes in their area. Zoning regulations also need to be thoroughly researched, Blakeslee advises. A lack of covered parking usually doesnt keep a home from selling, as long as its not located in part of the country with extreme weather conditions, Blakeslee says. pension kept the vehicle buttoned down, but there was some side-to-side jostling of passengers in the seats as the vehicles tires moved through the dips and bumps. Controls were within easy reach inside the CR-V, and t and nish inside and out on the test vehicle was excellent. The CR-V still has a retractable middle tray between the front seats, but the top-of-the-line EX-L comes with a more regular center console that still offers good room for purses. Flat cargo space measures 35.7 cubic feet with the back seats in use and grows to 72.9 cubic feet with the rear seats moved out of the way. These are larger than the cargo space in the Ford Escape but less than the RAV4 with two rows of seats. Both two- and four-wheel drive models of the 2011 CR-V are rated four out of ve stars in overall crash testing by the federal government after earning four out of ve stars in frontal and side crash protection. This is better than the three out of ve stars in overall crash testing that the 2011 Toyota RAV4 received.

In comparison, the base 2011 Chevrolet Equinox comes with 182-horsepower, fourcylinder engine, automatic transmission and two-wheel drive starts at $23,805. The lowest starting retail price for a 2011 Equinox with four-wheel drive is $25,555. The 2011 Toyota RAV4, starts at $23,285.

NBA joins NFL in locking out players

By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The NBAs thrilling season came with a high price tag. LeBrons move to Miami and Dirks title in Dallas couldnt hide a simple fact: Owners insisted they were losing money, perhaps $300 million this season, and werent interested in subsidizing a system they felt guaranteed theyd keep losing more. So the NBA will lock out its players, a longexpected move that puts the 2011-12 season in

jeopardy and comes as the NFL is trying to end its own work stoppage that began in March. The latest lockout begins at 9:01 PDT on Friday. It will last until player and owners can agree on a new collective bargaining agreement, one owners demand must give all teams a chance to prot. We had a great year in terms of the appreciation of our fans for our game. It just wasnt a protable one for the owners, and it wasnt one that many of the smaller market teams particularly enjoyed or felt included in, Commissioner David Stern said. The goal here has been to

make the league protable and to have a league where all 30 teams can compete. Despite a three-hour meeting Thursday and a nal proposal from the players which NBA leaders said would have raised average player David Stern salaries to $7 million in the sixth year of the deal the sides could not close the enormous gulf between their positions.

The problem is that theres such a gap in terms of the numbers, where they are and where we are, and we just cant nd any way to bridge that gap, union chief Billy Hunter said. All league business is ofcially on hold, starting with the free agency period that would have opened Friday. The NBAs summer league in Las Vegas already has been canceled, preseason games in Europe were never scheduled, and players might have to decide if they want to risk playing in this summers Olympic qualifying

Calling for fireworks

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

For Saturdays Major League Soccer Game of the Week against the New York Red Bulls, the San Jose Earthquakes have pulled out all the stops a massive marketing campaign, in-game promotions, a change in game site (from Santa Clara Universitys Buckshaw Stadium to Stanford Stadium) and a reworks extravaganza following the nal whistle. But the real question is, will the Quakes who were shut out in last weeks game despite playing the majority of it a man up and with a midelder manning the posts for the opposing team have any oneld, in-game reworks to compete with the Red Bulls? I just think we were tentative in the second half against the Galaxy, said Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop. I think we thought we could just kick

the ball, have a couple of chances and win the game. You have to pile the pressure, on anybody, put them under pressure and test them out. We really didnt do that. I dont fault our effort, I just think out thought process was off. The nil-nil draw against the Galaxy last week was indeed disheartening given the fact all the breaks the Quakes received in the game a man up and both Los Angeles goal keepers out of the lineup should have equated to an easy victory for San Jose. But as it stands, the Quakes go into what theyve billed as the biggest game of the season with the need to put together a good showing against a New York team that handed them a 3-0 whooping earlier in the year and is led by one of the more explosive offensive tandems in MLS with Thierry Henry and Juan Arguelo. Between those two guys, theyre really explosive and they can hurt you on one play, said San Jose defender Jason Hernandez. They can

take 89 minutes off and in that one minute have a goal and an assist. So, I think its important that we stay tuned in for 90 minutes and do it as committee and not just rely on one guy to really step up to the challenge and keep track of those guys. Its going to take the whole team to keep an eye on them and make it tough for them. Itll be quite the challenge for the Quakes. The Red Bulls lead MLS with 27 goals. Arguelo is fresh off his call-up to the United States Mens National Team that finished second in the Gold Cup. And Henry, the legendary French

SAN JOSE San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis believes the NFL lockout has been good for Alex Smith but he said the veteran quarterback is on his last straw with the team. Taking a break from an informal workout at San Jose State on Thursday, Davis repeatedly praised Smith, whom he says has matured this offseason. Davis was among about two dozen players who have attended the workouts led Vernon Davis by Smith, a free agent who plans to re-sign with San Francisco when the lockout ends. That included wide receiver Michael Crabtree, who did not practice much because of a sore foot. Crabtree questioned Smiths status as the starter earlier in the offseason and downplayed

The San Mateo Slammers, a 10-andunder B fastpitch softball team, secured a spot in the Northern California national tournament after winning a tournament at Twin Creeks Softball Complex in Sunnyvale. The Slammers have entered four tournaments this summer and has captured the championship in all four. They sport a 21-01 record the tie being a time-limit game and have allowed a total of six runs in those 22 games, throwing 10 no-hitters in the process: Ally Langlinais has thrown two individual no-nos, and combined with Mailey McLemore on two others. McLemore has been the teams ace, throwing four individual no-hitters and combining on three others. Mary Mirt also has an individual no-hitter to her credit, as well as combining with McLemore on another. Offensively, the Slammers are averaging 9.4 runs per game on an average of 9.7 hits as the team has a combined batting average of .415 and have stolen 195 bases (an average of nearly nine steals a game). *** The Slammers 10-and-under C team also qualied for the prestigious tournament. By winning the NorCal Qualier championship last week, they qualied for the California State Games in early August in San Diego. The Slammers captured the NorCal tournament with a 7-3 victory over the Foster City Flash. It is the second tournament win for the Slammers C team this season. They won seven straight games to capture the San Carlos tournament over the Memorial Day weekend. *** The San Bruno Storm, a 14-and-under fastpitch softball team, qualied for the Western National Championship tournament in Spokane, Wash. by winning the NorCal championship tournament last weekend.

Menlo School boys basketball coach Kris Weems will be stepping down to take a position with the Golden State Warriors, said Menlo athletic director Craig Schoof. A message to Weems was not returned and Schoof was not sure of Weems exact title with the NBA team, but said Weems told him he will work as a skills and shooting coach with rookies and players with the teams NBA Developmental League squad, the Dakota Wizards. Schoof said Weems told him of his decision Wednesday and both made the announcement to the team Thursday. Weems has been the head coach at Menlo since the 2004-05 season, winning Central Coast Section titles in 2008 and 2009. Weems was a standout with the Kris Weems Stanford University team from 1996 to 1999, earning an all Pac-10 selection following the 1997-98 season. When we hired him seven years ago in the back of my mind I knew he would move on to bigger things, Schoof said. He was happy here. He built a good program here. Hes certainly leaving the program in a good position. Although Weems heading to the Warriors may seem out of the blue, he actually has been on the owners radar for several years. Co-owner Joe Lacob, a venture capitalist with Kleiner Perkins Caueld & Byers who bought the team last year along with Hollywood producer Peter Guber, had two sons play for Weems while they attended Menlo. Oldest son Kirk Lacob graduated from Menlo in 2006 and is currently the Warriors director of Basketball Operations. Younger son Kent Lacob wrapped up his senior year at Menlo this spring. Schoof said Weems will work in Menlos development department through mid-July and has been given permission to nish up his A.A.U. summer basketball season with his club team, Kris Weems Academy, which wraps up at the end of July. In other Warriors news, forward Lou Amundson has told the team that he is exercising the player option on his contract for next season. The Warriors also announced Thursday that they waived forward Jeff Adrien. Both moves came before the start of the NBA lockout on Friday. Amundson appeared in 46 games for the Warriors last season, averaging 4.3 points and 4.0 rebounds. Overall during his ve-year NBA career, he has averaged 4.1 points and 3.7 rebounds in 228 regular-season games with Utah, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Golden State. Adrien appeared in 23 games over two stints with the Warriors last season, averaging 2.5 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. The Associated Press contributed to this report

Cubs hold Giants to two runs in 13 innings

By Andrew Seligman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cubs 5, Giants 2
inning because of soreness in his lower back, then Aramis Ramirez hit a tying home run in the ninth off San Francisco closer Brian Wilson. The Giants were leading 2-1 after a solo shot by Pablo Sandoval in the top Andres Torres of the 13th off John Grabow (1-0), but the Cubs struck back in the bottom half against Ramon Ramirez (2-1). Jeff Baker doubled with two outs and scored the tying run on a single by Darwin Barney, who had checked his swing on the previous pitch an 0-2 slider. Ramirez then intentionally walked Starlin Castro and Soto, batting for Grabow, launched a 3-2 pitch over the left-eld wall to give the Cubs the win and the series split. I was just trying to get a fastball. See it. Time it. He never threw one, Soto said after hitting the rst game-ending homer of his career. On 3-2, I just try to see the ball, see it up, breaking pitch up. I knew Pena was on deck and a lefty. He left it a little bit up, and I put good wood on it. It feels unbelievable.

CHICAGO Between the blown leads and the lack of hits, it wasnt a pleasant day for the San Francisco Giants at friendly old Wrigley Field. When it was over, manager Bruce Bochy promised changes were in store. Geovany Soto delivered a pinch-hit, threerun homer that capped a four-run rally with two outs in the 13th inning and sent the Chicago Cubs to a wild 5-2 victory over the Giants on Thursday. Weve got to get these bats going, Bochy said. Weve got some guys who are scufing. So, well have to make some changes here. He singled out leadoff hitter Andres Torres after he went hitless with four strikeouts in six at-bats. He is 7 for 46 over his last 19 games and can expect some time on the bench. Denitely Torres needs a break, Bochy said. Hes lost right now at the plate. Hes not the only one at the moment. After pounding out 19 runs while sweeping a day-night doubleheader to start this fourgame series, they have managed just three while dropping the past two games. Sotos drive nished an eventful day for the Cubs. Starter Carlos Zambrano left in the second

Chicago will take that after dropping the day-night doubleheader before pulling out a 2-1 win on Wednesday. The Cubs will try for their rst three-game winning streak this season when they open a weekend series against the White Sox on Friday. The Giants managed just ve hits and went 10 1-3 innings without one before Sandoval went deep, wasting another dominant start by Matt Cain. Even so, they were in line to win this one. But they just couldnt close it out. We made a lot of mistakes hitting, Sandoval said. We have to make adjustments to win the game. Ramirez, whose pinch-hit single in the ninth gave the Cubs their victory a day earlier, came up big again with his team trailing 10 in the ninth and Wilson going for his major league-leading 25th save. He drove a 3-1 pitch out to left for his 299th career homer and 10th this season. Hes not only a great hitter, but a great clutch hitter, Cubs catcher Koyie Hill said. The last two days, hes proven that. And Soto? Well, no one appreciated that homer more than Hill, who caught the entire game. Were pretty tight, but were really tight today, Hill said. That was nice. That was fun for him to hit that.

The Giants loaded the bases against Grabow in the 12th on walks to Cody Ross and Nate Schierholtz to start the inning and an intentional pass to Miguel Tejada with one out. But they came away with nothing when pinch-hitter Aubrey Huff ied to shallow center and Aaron Rowand lined to right. Cain pitched four-hit ball over seven scoreless innings for his second straight start. He also struck out six and walked one, just as he did in his previous outing against Cleveland. For the Cubs, it was an alarming sight to see Zambrano leaving early. He arrived at the ballpark in discomfort, and his day ended when he threw a ball to Eli Whiteside after an RBI single by Tejada. He started stretching his back, and trainer Mark ONeal and pitching coach Mark Riggins rushed out with manager Mike Quade following. Marcos Mateo then relieved with the Giants leading Chicago 1-0. That was all for Zambrano, who was booed as he walked off the mound. Zambrano has struggled at times this season but had been pitching well of late, going at least seven innings in his previous two starts against the White Sox and Kansas City. Mateo tossed ve scoreless innings in relief, striking out six without a walk. Jeff Samardzija, Sean Marshall, James Russell each pitched one.

As trade Ellis to Rockies, lose to Marlins

Marlins 5, As 4
It was a difcult day on the eld as well, with Trevor Cahill (8-6) getting knocked out in the fth inning and the As managing just one unearned run in seven innings against Chris Volstad (4-7). Oakland did not score an earned run all series. Mark Ellis The strong start by Volstad helped Florida end a miserable month with consecutive wins for the rst time in more than a month. The Marlins had won three of their rst 26 games in June before the strong starts by Ricky Nolasco and Volstad gave them their rst consecutive victories and rst series win since sweeping the Giants across the bay in San Francisco on May 24-26. It was a rough one, Volstad said. Hopefully this is a step forward and we can keep building off of this and go into Texas and keep playing the way we played these last two games.

OAKLAND A day that began with the Oakland Athletics saying goodbye to a familiar face ended with an all-too-familiar result. The As traded veteran second baseman Mark Ellis shortly before losing for the sixth time in eight games, a 5-4 defeat to Florida on Thursday when Oakland once again failed to score an earned run off a Marlins starter. Ellis, who came up in 2002, was the longesttenured player on the As and the only man on the 25-man roster who was part of the divisionwinning teams last decade. But with the emergence of rookie Jemile Weeks in recent weeks, general manager Billy Beane dealt him to Colorado for two minor leaguers. It was a difcult day for everybody, As manager Bob Melvin said. Hes a guy everybody respects. Im glad Billy sent him to a team who might be playing for something. It would have been hard getting him at-bats here. Billy wasnt necessarily looking for the best deal. He was looking for a good landing spot for Mark.

Nothing went right for the Marlins in between their two trips to the Bay Area as they fell from second place to last, red hitting coach John Mallee, had manager Edwin Rodriguez resign and had lost 14 straight losses in one-run games before this victory. That turned around for Jack McKeons team during the three games against the offensively challenged Athletics. Theres a little momentum, McKeon said. They have a good feeling about themselves. All we need to do is win three or four in a row and who knows, maybe it will snowball. Volstad allowed seven hits and an unearned run after an error by third baseman Jose Lopez in the seventh inning to win his second straight start after a career-long six-game losing streak. Coco Crisp added a solo homer off Edward Mujica in the eighth inning and Kurt Suzuki hit a two-run shot off Leo Nunez in the ninth to give the As their rst multihomer game since May 24 against Anaheim. Nunez recovered for his 22nd save in 25 chances. The Marlins struck rst with consecutive doubles by Hanley Ramirez and Logan

Morrison to open the second inning against Trevor Cahill (8-6). Ramirez held up initially on Morrisons drive to right, but scored when David DeJesus relay throw to Weeks was low for an error. There was an odd play in the top of the third inning when Florida had runners on rst and third with one out. Omar Infante ran from rst on a 3-2 pitch that Gaby Sanchez took for a walk. Suzuki threw to second base anyway, but Weeks cut off the throw and threw out Emilio Bonifacio at home. Florida then chased Cahill with four runs in a fth inning that started with a couple of ineld hits. Bonifacio led off with a bunt single, stole second and went to third on a sacrice. With two outs, Ramirez reached on a swinging bunt down the third-base line that Adam Rosales didnt pick up in hopes it would roll foul. The ball died inches from the foul line, giving Ramirez an RBI single. That started a run of four straight hits with Morrison knocking in a run with an RBI single and Buck ending Cahills day with his two-run double to center eld.

Lisicki got frustrated early in the second set as a light drizzle started to rain down on Centre Court. Trailing 0-30 and hoping to get a short reprieve, Lisicki asked chair umpire Louise Engzell to suspend play, but was denied. Three points later, it was Petra Kvitova 3-0 to Sharapova and Lisickis chances of reaching a rst Grand Slam nal were fading fast. Sharapova, who has not lost a set at this years tournament, had 18 unforced errors and only 14 winners. Lisicki did exactly the opposite, with 18 winners and 14 unforced errors. In the rst match, Kvitova rode her big serve right into the nal, hitting three aces in a row in the nal game of the rst set. All match it was around both serves, so Im but rst-year coach Jim Harbaugh persuaded Smith to return for another shot with the team that drafted him No. 1 overall in 2005. Smith, who has declined to speak with the media this week, responded by organizing and conducting two rounds of informal workAlex Smith outs. He presides over the workouts on the eld and runs the offensive meetings in the classrooms. In trying to simulate the teams offseason workout schedule, Smith even brought out some new plays for Thursdays practice and kept the players on the eld an extra 20 minutes to get additional work in. Im sure Harbaughs been in his ear, telling him that he has to be a leader, Davis said. that. I think its important to do continue to that week-in and week-out. Maybe it wasnt the defense that let the Quakes down in the game against the Galaxy (although Los Angeles seemed content to box in their defense and salvage the draw), so offensively San Jose has to be thrilled that Chris Wondolowski and Ryan Johnson return from national team duties as well. I think the team is playing really well, Wondolowski said. Its just one of those things where, Im just hoping to step in do whatever I can to keep this ball rolling because were on a good hot streak right now. Any time you have a player of Chris quality out, out of the club and not just the lineup, very happy my serve was good in the third set, said Kvitova, who had never won a match on grass before last years tournament, when she reached the seminals. Grass is my favorite surface. Kvitova was playing in only her second major seminal, and she dictated the play throughout the match. The Czech left-hander had 40 winners and 14 unforced errors, while Azarenka had only nine winners and seven unforced errors. And it was Azarenkas serve that nished it when the fourth-seeded Belarusian committed her second double-fault of the day on match point. In the rst set, Kvitova twice broke Azarenkas serve and saved the only break point she faced. She nished the set with six aces. But Azarenka responded in the second, nally converting a break point in the second game to take a 2-0 lead. She held the rest of the way Thats all weve been looking for is just someone to fall behind. Sometimes guys take their time to come around, and I think Alex is doing a tremendous job with handling this whole thing, being a leader and taking the big steps that hes been taking. Crabtree hasnt taken many steps at all since pulling out of the teams workouts earlier this month with a sore foot. Dressed in a long-sleeved black T-shirt with matching black shorts, Crabtree did mostly classroom work and light conditioning drills Thursday. He did catch one pass from rookie wide receiver Ronald Johnson on a simple y pattern run at half speed, but otherwise the 49ers 2009 rst-round draft pick mostly studied plays scribbled on a piece of paper and occasionally threw a few passes. A day after telling reporters he would talk to them on Thursday, Crabtree didnt even look you dont know how much you do miss him because we got some wins and we played pretty well. But maybe we could have won the other games that we didnt. Yallop said. He was missed. Its good to have him back and were excited about him playing on the weekend and hopefully he can get the winning goal. Yallop said he reminded his players of that 3-0 loss to the Red Bulls earlier in the season. But he is certain this team is different than the one that showed up to play in New York in Week 5 a loss that extended a two-game winless streak that ran itself all the way to ve. Its got nothing to do with the last New York game, not at all. Thats out of our sys-

and evened the match, but couldnt do much about her opponents serve. Kvitova lost only one point in the opening game of the third set, and then broke for a 2-0 lead. At 3-1, Azarenka had two break points, but Kvitova saved them both and won the next two points to make it 4-1. Kvitova is the rst left-handed woman to reach the Wimbledon nal since Martina Navratilova in 1994. Navratilova, who won the title nine times and was in the crowd Thursday, and Ann Jones (in 1969) are the only left-handers to win the championship dish at the All England Club. We met in the locker room and shes told me well done and good luck for the next match, Kvitova said of Navratilova. Its very nice when I can meet her and speak with her. The last lefty to even reach a womens major nal was Monica Seles at the 1998 French Open. their way as he sped past them on a golf cart before getting into his silver Mercedes and speeding away after practice. Davis, whose seven touchdown receptions were one more than Crabtree had in 2010, plans to follow Smiths lead and become more of a voice in the 49ers locker room this season. Still, San Francisco will be one of the teams trying to play catch-up when the lockout ends. The 49ers are among a handful of teams with a new head coach and new offense to learn. Were behind guys like the Colts and those teams that are already established because they have everything in place, Davis said. But this right here puts us in the loop, puts us in the mix with everybody else because we have a chance to become familiar with the offense. Its not easy at the moment ... but were getting there. tem, Yallop said. That was a lay-down-anddie performance. We dont do that. I think our team has turned right around, is good now. Are we going to win every game? No. We could get beat 3-nil but we wont go down the same way, for sure. Thats not in us now. Ive been really happy we took on the challenge of not being easily beat, and we havent been easy to beat. I think we understood we had a lot of things going against us that game, Hernandez said. They played tremendously well and sometimes you just have to wash off that one and move on. I think weve done that and I think we are not the same team we were in New York and we hope to show that this weekend.

was tough. I just had to stay focused. I got back on track and just remained really focused throughout the rest of the match. The turning point in the match may have come on that rst saved break point. With Lisicki playing near awless tennis through the rst three games, she turned to the drop shot, which was so effective against Marion Bartoli in the quarternals. But this one went into the net, putting the score at deuce and giving momentum to Sharapova. Even though Sharapovas rst serve didnt get much better, her game once the ball was in play did, sending forehands and backhands into the corners and passing her outmatched opponent.

the quarterbacks efforts to organize workouts. Smith, however, shot down rumors that the two players were at odds and even called the thirdyear receiver to make sure everything was OK. Thats one of the reasons Davis is convinced Smith is ready to turn his career around. His approach to this whole thing, his approach to the game, his approach to the team (has changed), Davis said. I can see him evolving into a leader. He knows that hes on his last straw. Hes got some competition and he has to get things done.

tournaments without the NBAs help in securing insurance in case of injury. And teams will be prohibited from having any contact with their players, most of whom wont be paid until a deal is done but insist theyll hang in anyway. Were going to stand up for what we have to do, no matter how long its going to take, Thunder star Kevin Durant told The Associated Press. No matter how long the lockouts going to take, were going to stand up. Were not going to give in. The lockout comes exactly one year after one of the NBAs most anticipated days in recent years, when James, Dwyane Wade and the rest of the celebrated class of 2010 became free agents. That free agency bonanza highlight by the James, Wade, Chris Bosh trio in Miami got the league started on a season where ticket and merchandise sales, ratings and buzz were all up. That weakened the owners case that the system was broken beyond repair, but it also demonstrated why they wanted changes, with Stern saying owners feel pressured to spend as much as possible to prove their commitment to winning to fans. The last lockout reduced the 199899 season to just a 50-game schedule, the only time the NBA missed games for a work stoppage. Hunter said its too early to be concerned about that. I hope it doesnt come down to that, he said. Obviously, the clock is now running with regard to whether or not there will or will be a loss of games, and so Im hoping that over the next month or so that there will be sort of a softening on their side and maybe we have to soften our position as well. The NBA appeared headed this route from the start of negotiations. Owners said they lost hundreds of millions in every season of this CBA, ratied in 2005. League ofcials said 22 of the 30 teams would lose money.

NBA Brief
Jamison: NBA players more unified than in 98
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Antawn Jamison was stunned in 1998 when he stumbled into the last NBA lockout as a rookie. He found the players disorganized, uninformed and unprepared for what lay ahead. You had guys saying one thing and you had other guys going behind their back and saying another thing, Jamison said. The owners knew then they eventually would buckle. Just as the NBA was ofcially announcing Thursday night it was locking out its players, Jamison predicted the labor dispute will either be settled before games are missed or the entire season will be lost. I think in 98-99, we didnt think it would be a long, drawn out process, Jamison said after speaking to children at a school in his hometown. Just the unity, the guys understanding what were facing and what were up against is totally different than what it was when I rst got into the league.

Movie is an expensive exercise in rubbernecking

By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

To his credit, Michael Bay does try to put more human touch into Transformers: Dark of the Moon, aiming to make up for the clattering mess of overgrown kitchen

appliances that duked it out in the franchises last installment. Bay went to the far side of the moon and even to planet Vulcan, enlisting John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Mr. Spock in search of the

human face of the Transformers universe. And he came back with another loud, long, bruising and wearisome onslaught of giant, shape-shifting robots. The human element arises largely from archival footage involving the 1960s moon

race, along with images that may disturb younger kids as a succession of screaming, scrambling humans are vaporized by the bots like insects in a bug zapper. In 3-D, too, so you get to wear those clunky glasses for

TIGERS BE STILL. Life can be overwhelming. Did you every just want to pull the covers up over your head and stay in bed all day? Well, some of the characters in Playwright Kim Rosenstocks bittersweet dark comedy Tigers Be Still, in its West Coast Premiere at SF Playhouse, do exactly that, and the rest are not much better off. One way or the other, they have all become collateral damage in the daily battles of life. Although a zoo tiger on the loose (in an over-the-top-but-it-works plot turn) limits their physical freedom, its the characters own personal issues (unemployment, broken engagement, death in the family) that really put the locks on their individual emotional prisons. This engagingly funny story of how damaged souls save one another gives hope in a world where it can be a jungle outside, and inside, too. 85 minutes without intermission. Directed by Amy Glazer. Set design by Bill English. Light design by Michael Oesch. Through July 30.

AN ASIDE:
SF Playhouse Artistic Director Bill English said, Tigers Be Still uses theatre to explore another human quandary: what happens when we get stuck? How do we struggle to break free of depression? Throughout the ages, theatre has shown us how we struggle with defeat and how we defeat the powers that hold us down. Our human capacity to grow and hope is our greatest ally. All of the characters in Tigers Be Still are stuck. Watching their valiant struggle to break out and grow, to heal and move on, gives us joy and reassurance that we have these powers within ourselves. We are reminded that we also have been stuck and can break free and y.

Tracy Morgans latest jokes offend the disabled

NEW YORK Tracy Morgan had just nished apologizing for his anti-gay jokes, and now the comedian is in hot water again. In his standup act in New York last weekend, Morgan mocked the mentally disabled, according to The New York Times. This has led to a demand for an apology from the 30 Rock star by a group promoting the rights of the mentally and physically disabled. Morgans wisecracks reportedly included a warning not to mess with women who have retarded kids.

People in the news

His remarks are far too offensive to be excused as comedy, Peter Berns, head of The Arc, said earlier this week. He called for an immediate apology. Thus far, Morgan has offered no response. Earlier this month, he Tracy Morgan apologized for a homophobic rant made during a stand-up routine in Nashville.

Hanks heads back to school with Larry Crowne

By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Lets say in some alternate reality, Tom Hanks winds up working at a Wal-Mart-style retail chain. Heres how his day goes: He bounds out of his car with a beaming grin, stooping to pick up stray trash in the parking lot. From afar, he notices a breakable item in danger of falling and strides over to nudge it back to safety on the shelf. Amid giddily greeting customers, he rallies co-workers into a laughing bucket brigade to restock items, turning what should be a dreary job into a game to be savored. Thats our rst glimpse of the title character Hanks plays in Larry Crowne, a timely tale about a man who makes the best of his lot, even when hes downsized out of a job during these hard times and must head back to school to build a new future. Its all about attitude, says Hanks, getting up each day with the thought that theres action to be had and a party to join into. Hanks, the movies star, director, producer and co-writer, thinks thats how hed approach life if he were in Larrys place rather than one of the biggest stars in the world. Id be the gang leader of the common break area. Id be the guy organizing the piqata parties, stuff like that. Absolutely, Hanks, 54, says in an interview for Larry Crowne, which opens Friday and reunites him with his Charlie Wilsons War co-star Julia Roberts. The concept of putting on a show begins as soon as you wake up in the day, Hanks says. And Larry, the theater of his life starts when he goes through those doors, and its like, Im a team leader, and Im wearing the red Polo the store employees uniform. When Larry picks up trash in the parking lot, thats the rst thing he does, because youve got to have a little pride. And Im a trash picker-upper. What can I tell you? A former Navy cook who never went to college, Hanks Larry is a model worker at UMart, the retailer where hes a perpetual employee of the month. Fifty-something, divorced, with a house worth less than he owes on it, Larry tumbles into an abyss familiar to millions after management lets him go. Larrys forced to downsize his life, selling things off, struggling to resolve his mortgage mess, and switching over from a gas-guzzling SUV to a fuel-sipping scooter. He lands part-time work at a diner while taking classes at a community college as he seeks to boost his employment prospects. Along the way, he fashions a new life for himself, making friends with a circle of oddball classmates and nding romance with his boozy, disillusioned public-speaking teacher (Roberts). Thats a rosy outcome for a middle-aged back-to-schooler, but Larry Crowne cowriter Nia Vardalos says its the outlook Hanks brings to life. This is a very Tom Hanks movie. This is really how the world should work, Vardalos says of Hanks, who was a producer on her unexpected romantic blockbuster My Big Fat Greek Wedding, another story of boundless optimism. A man should get to go to school and get a second chance and get to bag Julia Roberts, in a world according to Tom Hanks. Larrys situation certainly is not one that Hanks has to worry about. He started out at community college himself because of lack of funds and drive and wherewithal,

Hanks says but the two-time Academy Award winner has been rich and famous for most of his adult life. Yet hes built a career as an Everyman who inhabits roles with absolute authenticity, whether its a lawyer dying of AIDS in Philadelphia, a wry, war-weary soldier in Saving Private Ryan, a taciturn hitman in Road to Perdition or a Federal Express worker stranded alone on an island in Cast Away. Sliding into the skin of a workaday guy down on his luck is just another day at the ofce for Hanks. Granted, yes, I am a well-known, cheesehead celebrity that has been in front of the cameras for a while, so people do know me, Hanks says. But part of it is denitely remembering what it was like to be terried. If youve had any time in your life where the phone didnt ring, and you had two kids and you didnt know if you were going to be able to make your house payment or not, and you had no B Plan of escape, well, you remember what those 3 oclock in the morning sessions were in the mirror of your living room or bathroom, saying, What is happening? ... Its not hard for anyone to empathize, I dont think, with a guy who walks into work one day thinking everything is hunky-dory and then nding out, Sorry, no hard feelings, but youre red. I think thats part of the human condition that transcends more than just your station in life. Taraji P. Henson, who co-stars with Cedric the Entertainer playing Larrys supportive neighbors, says she expects audiences will see Hanks character as a real guy fallen on hard times, rather than a superstar slumming in a blue-collar role. Sometimes, when youre a big star like that, its hard for people to remove the star from the character, Henson says. But theres something about him that just feels so real, where you go, Hey, I know that guy. The way he comes across, youre able to separate Tom Hanks from the character, so you see a real person instead of the star. Hanks has written, produced and directed for television with such miniseries as Band of Brothers and From the Earth to the Moon. Larry Crowne is only his second time writing and directing for the big-screen, after 1996s That Thing You Do! The idea for Larry Crowne came to him long before our current economic mess, though it gained resonance as Hanks shaped the story and Larrys plight began to reect what was happening to millions of real people. Larrys eager approach to classes and the easy, hopeful way he glides into his new routine have their roots in Tom Hanks school days. I loved going to school, which is the antithesis of a lot of people. I loved junior high, I loved high school, because there was action there. I never cut a single class of any school I ever went to, because I couldnt imagine that something better was going on somewhere else as opposed to here. I went to a school with like, 1,200 kids in one place, and 2,000 kids in another place, and there was a show going on somewhere that I wanted to be a part of in all of that stuff. ... I loved the idea of entering the boundary of that school, in through that cyclone fence, and your job is to make it peppy until 3 oclock in the afternoon. At least, I always thought that was my job.

Star power cant liven up corny film

By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Larry Crowne
Director:Tom Hanks Cast: Tom Hanks,Julia Roberts, Bryan Cranston,Gugu Mbatha-Raw,Cedric the Entertainer Rated: PG-13 for brief strong language and some sexual content. Grade:

Larry Crowne serves as a reminder that you can have two of the most likable, bankable stars on the planet together, but strong writing is crucial to making them shine. Even the combined, blinding brilliance of Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts cant salvage the corny, contrived script which Hanks, who also directed the lm, co-wrote. His longtime friend Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) was his collaborator, and the shticky nature of her style is just overpowering. Main characters behave in unbelievable ways and say just the right poignant things at just the right times; meanwhile, supporting players are relegated to one-note roles that are straight out of a sitcom, like Cedric the Entertainer and Taraji P. Henson as Hanks wisecracking, yard sale-loving neighbors. But the main problem is that Hanks, as the central gure, is as bland as the lms title. Larry Crowne undergoes a major life change when he nds himself downsized out of his job at a behemoth superstore; middle-aged and divorced, he decides its nally time to go to college. But theres not much momentum, and its hard to get a handle on who he is beyond his generically pleasant, slightly nerdy demeanor, so his transformation lacks the punch it should have had by comparison. Larry enrolls in a speech class where Roberts is the frustrated, frequently hung-over professor, Mercedes Tainot. Shes having troubles of her own which drive her to make margaritas the second she gets home each day: Her husband, a former novelist, now sits around blogging and watching internet porn. Bryan Cranston, who we know is capable of emotional complexity from his role on Breaking Bad, merely comes off as a selsh, overgrown adolescent who likes big boobs. Larry nds his life upended by a fellow stu-

dent in his economics class: the gorgeous and free-spirited Talia (Gugu Mbatha-Raw). Out of nowhere, she invites him to join her scooter gang, rearranges his furniture and gives him a makeover. Its hard to believe shed even give him the time of day, much less christen him with a hip nickname (Lance Corona) and start texting him within minutes of meeting him. Then again, she isnt eshed out terribly well, either, which makes her motivation even more unclear. Suddenly, Mercedes is interested in Larry, too in a romantic way although she remains so frequently surly, thats hard to gure out, too. In another actress hands, the performance might have seemed off-putting, even a little sad. But this is Julia Roberts, so simply busting out that famous smile from time to time softens things. Indeed, Larry Crowne seems all too eager to please, even though it features some serious and seriously relevant subject matter. The reality of people nding themselves out of work and lost as to how to reinvent themselves after decades in the same job is happening everywhere, every day. Hanks and Co. play the uncertainty of this phenomenon for uffy, feel-good laughs.

Sentinel Prime (voiced by Leonard Nimoy, who also is seen briey as Vulcan Spock from a Star Trek episode as Paramount Pictures forges a strange marriage of its two big sci- franchises). Sentinel Prime is revived by his protigi and successor, Optimus Prime (again voiced by Peter Cullen), and the two lead their scant Autobot forces and human allies against Decepticon leader Megatron (Hugo Weaving) in the race to recover the lost technology. Earths fate is again in the balance, with L a B e o u f s Sam Witwicky naturally at the center of things. Bay cast out Megan Fox as Sams girlfriend, replacing her with new romantic interest Carly (Victorias Secret model Rosie HuntingtonWhitely, who makes a laughably titillating, skin-bearing entry into the movie, reminiscent of Foxs introduction in the last one). Like Fox, HuntingtonWhitely is never expected to do more than look hot while in deathly peril in the clutches of hulking robots, so in that regard at least, her big-screen debut is a success. LaBeouf is reunited with Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson as leaders of the human strike forces, along with John Turturro as a former government operative who jumps back into the battle. Some genuine humor arises early on, courtesy of John Malkovich as Sams quirkily autocratic new boss and Frances McDormand as a supremely capable but by-the-book intelligence chief (hearing Academy Award winner McDormand state with conviction that its some sort of prototype Autobot technology is a natural giggle). Alan Tudyk provides a few laughs as Turturros unstable assistant, while Patrick Dempsey manages at least one chuckle as Carlys wealthy boss, a guy who talks up the need to liaise with the humungous robots. As they always are, Kevin Dunn and Julie White are annoying as Sams parents, whose roles serve no purpose this time and could have been jettisoned to save precious time. Whatever humor the movie offered fades as Bay ratchets up the relentless action, the battles grinding on so long that the motion and noise turns numbing (the mind really can wander during all this ruckus; stare long enough at some of the Decepticons flying machines and they oddly start to resemble jumbo shrimp).

the franchises longest movie yet. It really felt like people didnt matter in 2009s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, a mega-blockbuster despite being little more than a turgid assemblage of computer-generated machine parts thrashing about. So Bay and his collaborators set out to show the esh-and-blood consequences in the war between the benevolent Autobots and their evil counterparts, the Decepticons. But human consequence in a Bay ick means more shots of Shia LaBeouf bellowing while he and his pals get battered around amid the mayhem. The action sequences drag on and on, and while the stunts and digital imagery are even more dazzling than the visuals of Bays rst two Transformers tales, it all ies by in such frenzy that it remains a challenge to gure out whos who, which robot is which, and what machines you should be rooting for. Its a thin line between the idiotically incomprehensible Revenge of the Fallen and the merely incomprehensible of Dark of the Moon. Unlike Revenge of the Fallen, part three actually has a plot, or at least starts with one before the movie lapses into nonsense. Returning screenwriter Ehren Kruger weaves in a 1960s prologue as NASA tracks the crash of an alien ship on the moon, prompting Kennedy to order a salvage mission under cover of his call to beat the Russians to the lunar surface (along with Kennedy, the prologue features archival footage of Nixon and moon walkers Armstrong and Aldrin, the latter also turning up in a cameo as himself in present times). The crashed vessel carried technology that was the last hope of the Autobots in their losing battle against the Decepticons on their home world. It also carried the leader of the Autobots,

footage and digital effects, generally are crisp, avoiding the blurriness that has spoiled some 3-D tales. Fans of the format should be satisfied, but for the anti-3-D crowd, the movie probably will not win any converts; the 3-D images really dont add anything. Dark of the Moon mostly is an expensive exercise in rubbernecking, the audience getting to watch colossal carnage and destruction from the safety of stadium seating. And human consequence? Well, the most human thing about Dark of the Moon is the age-old, gravelly voice of Sentinel Prime, even though Nimoy unfortunately is called on to parrot one of the most-cherished lines of the Star Trek canon in a bad context. Its hard to care about what happens on screen when an extra-terrestrial robot, speaking with the same voice as a pointy-eared Vulcan, provides the most human connection in a movie.

Kentucky distilleries rapidly expand amid new bourbon boom

By Bruce Screiner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAWRENCEBURG, Ky. At the new Wild Turkey bourbon distillery in central Kentucky, the grainy smell of fermenting corn wafts from giant tubs as workers add a touch of grain or tweak the temperature, just as they had for decades at the now-mothballed plant nearby. The difference? They can make more than twice as much bourbon at the new $50 million facility, with room to grow if sales keeps spiking. In a nod to the automation that took hold years ago, workers in a control room lined with computers can adjust their brew with a few keystrokes. Its among the most ambitious of projects for this industry clustered in central Kentuckys rolling hills, where distilleries have spent at least $150 million in one of the bourbon sectors biggest expansions since Prohibition, said Eric Gregory, president of the Kentucky Distillers Association. The producers are aiming to quench a thirst for bourbon especially premium brands that is steady in the U.S. and rapidly expanding overseas, thanks in part to the comeback of cocktails appealing to younger adults, lower tariffs, robust marketing and a larger middle class in emerging markets. It used to be if you went West and crossed the Mississippi, it was hard to even nd a bourbon, said Eddie Russell, Wild Turkeys associate distiller and son of longtime master distiller Jimmy Russell. Wild Turkey is showing off the new distillery at a ceremony Tuesday though the bourbon aging there wont be ready for sipping until 2016. Kentucky produces 95 percent of the worlds bourbon, according to the state distillers association. More than 5 million barrels of bourbon and other whiskeys are currently aging in the state, the highest inventory since the early 1980s. The 4.7 million barrels of aging bourbon even outnumbers the states population of 4.3 million. The proliferation of small-batch premium and super-premium products, which are aged longer and fetch higher retail prices, has helped propel sales and given bourbon a more cosmopolitan image. Mike Ryan, head bartender at Sable Kitchen & Bar in Chicago, said ne bourbons are increasingly in the mix among consumers with a taste for classics like the Manhattan and Old Fashioned, as well as new concoctions popular with younger adults. It actually provides a much more interesting backdrop for avors than does something neutral like vodka, he said. A complex blend of avors, especially in premium brands, can yield vanilla, citrus and fruit tastes, making bourbon an ideal mixer, he said. Industry observer F. Paul Pacult, editor of the quarterly newsletter Spirit Journal, said bourbon makers are showing an adventurous side with premium offerings that reect an intramural competition. Theres more innovation happening in Kentucky right now than any other place in the world, Pacult said. Makers Mark, known for its red wax seal, is in the midst of an estimated $50 million expansion that will boost production by

Potatoes? Passe. Grains? Groan. Vodka producers these days are exploring new horizons oranges, anyone? to make unusual and artisanal vodkas. A cocktails not just a cocktail. Its an experience now, so that demand has called for anything and everything that can be different, says Tammy LaNasa, Dallas-based corporate beverage director for Del Friscos Restaurant Group, which includes 20 Sullivans Steakhouses and nine Del Friscos Double Eagle Steakhouses nationwide. One of the latest entries in the vodka vanguard is 4 Orange, which is distilled directly from oranges, as opposed to other vodkas where avoring is added. The vodka is made from orange molasses that remains after oranges have been juiced. Four different varieties of oranges are used, hence the name, and the result is a clear vodka with a distinct tang of orange. The response has been fantastic, says Timo Sutinen, vice president for marketing and business development at Imperial Brands, Inc., which produces 4

Orange Premium Vodka. When people hear that 4 Orange is made from Florida oranges, they have to taste it. Once they taste it, we have won them over. The distillery is next to the orange juice plant in Florida and, in a green touch, the leftover mash from the distilling process is sold to local farmers for cattle feed. Theres no alcohol in the product but cows seem to like it, says Sutinen with a laugh. The most popular spirit in America, vodka classically is a neutral product made most often from some type of grain. But it can be made from just about anything starchy or sweet, inspiring distillers creative spirit. The skys kind of the limit for what you can make vodka from, says Noah Rothbaum, editor-in-chief of liquor.com and author of The Business of Spirits. Some examples Ciroc UltraPremium vodka is made entirely from grapes, Vermont Gold is made from maple sap, and on an equally sweet note, theres Bee Vodka, triple-distilled from New York State honey at the Hidden Marsh Distillery in Seneca Falls, N.Y. The distillery is owned and operated by the Martin family, who started out as bee

keepers more than 30 years ago. LaNasa expects to see more variations as distillers get in touch with their creative spirit. This orange vodka is going along with that fresh ingredient trend that I actually dont think is a trend, she says. I think its here to stay.

will be at Moveable Feast, a festival featuring 24 food trucks at the San Mateo County Event Center. Moveable Feast will be the largest scale food truck festival ever held on the Peninsula, according to Ryan Sebastian, lead food truck organizer for the event. Sebastian said he started Moveable Eats in San Jose, but the event in San Mateo will have its own characteristic feel. We want it to feel like a local hometown event where people can come out and run into friends, he said. He hopes to make Moveable Feast a monthly event in San Mateo. I think theres the idea that these trucks are a downgrade for San Mateo, said Sebastian, who owns an ice cream karaoke truck.

It is also spending $26 million to expand its bottling operation in the state capital, Frankfort. Heaven Hill Distilleries Inc., whose brands include Evan Williams bourbon, added two storage warehouses earlier this year, boosting its capacity by about 40,000 barrels at a cost of about $5 million. The company is eyeing improvements to its bottling facilities to keep the momentum going. The Four Roses, Buffalo Trace and Woodford Reserve distilleries also have put money into upgrading visitor centers. One of Kentuckys most popular tourist destinations, the Bourbon Trail has averaged doubledigit percentage growth in the past ve years, with nearly 2 million people visiting at least one distillery during the period, Gregory said. In the U.S., 15.4 million 9-liter cases of bourbon and Tennessee whiskey sold in 2010, generating $1.9 billion in revenues for distillers, according to statistics from the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, a national trade association. In 2003, 13.4 million cases sold, yielding $1.3 billion in revenue. December, the club generated $900,000. In 2009 and 2010, the gure shot up to roughly $3.3 million, according to the grand jury. Carpenter said the estimate may run a little high and the numbers are gross amounts without accounting for expenses. The association earns 2 percent of bets about $72 million to $75 million, this year, Carpenter said commissions from bettors, food and beverage, ATM and lottery ticket sales. The jury also recommended that the associations books be reviewed by independent auditors rather than by always the county Controllers Ofce. Civil grand jury reports carry no legal weight but recipients must respond in writing within 90 days. The full report is available online at www.smcourt.org/grandjury.

In the next six years, it plans to build 20 to 25 new warehouses needed for storing barrels of whiskey that will age no fewer than six years. The brand, part of the spirits lineup for Deereld, Ill.-based Fortune Brands Inc., surpassed 1 million cases bottled for the rst time in 2010.

on the horizon, with hopes to draw more events that in turn bring in attendance and revenue. The next step is developing a long-range expansion plan for the next decade or so, Carpenter said. The association began operating the Jockey Club satellite wagering facility in 2008 after the closure of the privately owned Bay Meadows race track. The county lent the association $900,000 for construction and as of March 31 $456,852.30 is outstanding. The debt will be retired in 2014.

fares are increasing by 5 percent. Sausalito ferry riders will now pay an additional $1 on their fare, and the fare for special event ferries to AT&T Park in San Francisco is increasing to $8.75, according to the transit district. On Bay Area bridges, tolls will increase for vehicles with more than two axles, including big-rigs and cars with boats or other trailers attached to them. On the regions seven state-owned bridges, the new toll will range from $10.50 to $24.25, depending on the number of axles, while the

Golden Gate Bridges tolls for multi-axle vehicles will rise to between $13 and $31, with discounts available for FasTrak users. Since 2004, solo drivers of hybrid vehicles with yellow clean-air stickers have been able to drive in carpool lanes, but that privilege will no longer be afforded, according to the states Department of Motor Vehicles. All-electric vehicles with white stickers will still be able to drive solo in the carpool lanes until 2015, according to the DMV. The various increases are the result of local and state agencies trying to close large budget decits as the new scal year begins Friday. The SFMTA faced a $45 million budget shortfall this year, while the Golden Gate Bridge District faces a ve-year decit of $89 million.

Something of enormous importance could develop in the near future that could cause you to revise both your social considerations and your commercial outlook. The changes you make will enable you to operate more effectively.
CaNCEr (June 21-July 22) -- Only if you have the

necessary stick-to-itiveness to work things out can you achieve the success youre looking for. However, you might first have to experience a test of wills in order to be a victor. lEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You could do yourself a

grave disfavor by putting more stock in the opinions of others than you do in your own thinking. Its not necessary to penalize yourself in order to get along with colleagues. VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It might be safer to refuse someone who wants to borrow something that you consider precious. You could be risking ever seeing it again. liBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You arent likely to escape experiencing some frustrations at this juncture. By keeping a cool head as well as your humor intact, you can achieve your objectives and minimize the negatives. SCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Do what you can to be helpful to others, but not to the point of allowing them to overload you with their chores and burdens. Let them fend for themselves.

SaGiTTariuS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Take care not to

absentmindedly jump into new involvements without first considering all the ramifications. Operating in haste is a surefire way to trip over your own feet. CaPriCOrN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Its one of those days when you can operate with greater efficacy if youre able to perform your tasks at arms length from others. Even some well-intentioned people can be disruptive. aQuariuS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- All that negative thoughts will do is put a cloud over your mind and entice you to quit at the first sign of trouble instead of getting tough and asserting yourself. PiSCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Guard against inclinations to change things that are presently running smoothly. All your well-meaning adjustments are

likely to do is penalize you for your efforts. ariES (March 21-April 19) -- In order to reach an agreement, it might be up to you to make a sensible concession, but do so only if your counterpart will reciprocate. Hopefully he or she will act on your cues. TauruS (April 20-May 20) -- Beware of a disgruntled co-worker trying to involve you in a problem she or he created in order to take some of the blame off him or herself. Dont let this person get away with it. GEMiNi (May 21-June 20) -- A companion might have something that could turn out to be a good deal, but not necessarily in the form its being presented. Be sure to check it out first before agreeing to go along with it. Copyright 2011, United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
