BUDGET MIRACLE
www.smdailyjournal.com
WASHINGTON This is one anniversary few feel like celebrating. Two years after economists say the Great Recession ended, the recovery has been the weakest and most lopsided of any since the 1930s.
After previous recessions, people in all income groups tended to benet. This time, ordinary Americans are struggling with job insecurity, too much debt and pay raises that havent kept up with prices at the grocery store and gas station. The economys meager gains are going mostly to the wealthiest. Workers wages and benefits
make up 57.5 percent of the economy, an all-time low. Until the mid2000s, that gure had been remarkably stable about 64 percent through boom and bust alike. Executive pay is included in this gure, but rank-and-le workers are far more dependent on regular wages and benets. A big chunk of the economys gains has gone to
investors in the form of higher corporate prots. The spoils have really gone to capital, to the shareholders, says David Rosenberg, chief economist at Gluskin Sheff + Associates in Toronto. Corporate prots are up by almost half since the recession ended in June 2009. In the rst two years
after the recessions of 1991 and 2001, prots rose 11 percent and 28 percent, respectively. And an Associated Press analysis found that the typical CEO of a major company earned $9 million last year, up a fourth from 2009. Driven by higher prots, the Dow Jones industrial average has staged

San Mateo Countys property tax roll is anemic much like the overall economy but moving in a positive direction with a $1.5 billion increase over last year, according to the assessor. While the real estate market continues to show signs of weakness, some areas are showing a slight increase in market value, Mark Church, assessor-county clerkrecorder and chief elections ofcer, said in a prepared statement. The 2011-12 assessment roll increased 1.12 percent, or $1.5 billion, compared to last year and recaptures a piece of the $2 billion in assessed value lost last year. The
total roll is $142.5 billion. Foreclosures are up but numbers of default notices are down and holding steady. That combination nearly Mark Church plus 35,000 properties declining in value also contributed to keeping the increase on the lower side. The tax roll is the assessed value of all properties as of Jan. 1 each year, combining additions, removals and drops in value. The roll has two

In 1809, Shawnee leader Tecumseh began organizing an Indian Confederacy to resist the growing spread of white American settlers. In 1881, President James A. Garfield was shot by Charles J. Guiteau at the Washington railroad station; Garfield died the following September. (Guiteau was hanged in June 1882.) In 1926, the United States Army Air Corps was created. In 1937, aviator Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while attempting to make the first round-the-world flight along the equator. In 1961, author Ernest Hemingway shot himself to death at his home in Ketchum, Idaho. In 1979, the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin was released to the public. In 1989, former Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko died in Moscow at age 79. In 1994, a USAir DC-9 crashed in poor weather at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport in North Carolina, killing 37 of the 57 people aboard.

Answer:
Yesterdays (Answers Monday) Jumbles: DRAWN WHIRL DENTAL BASKET Answer: The groups expanding waistlines created more of this BAND WIDTH
Unscramble these four Jumbles, one letter to each square, to form four ordinary words.
Children aged 5 to 14 have more emergency room treatments due to pens and pencils than reworks. *** Types of reworks include rockets, missiles, fountains, cones, wheels and spinners. *** Last year, Californias Disneyland started launching their fireworks with compressed air rather than black powder. Using compressed air reduces fumes and has greater accuracy in height and timing for the nightly reworks display. *** An international reworks competition is held every summer in Montreal, Canada. In the competition, called le Mondial SAQ, eight pyrotechnical companies are chosen from different countries to present a 30-minute reworks show. The winning companies receive a trophy and prestige. *** The presidential inauguration of George Washington (1732-1799) was celebrated with reworks. *** Washington, D.C. became the U.S. capital in 1800. ***
During the War of 1812, a three-yearlong conict between the United States and Great Britain, the British burned the White House and the Capitol building. The White House survived and was repainted white. *** Uncle Sam was based on an actual person. Samuel Wilson (1766-1854) of New York supplied meat to the U.S. Army during the War of 1812. His crates were stamped with U.S., and workmen joked that it stood for Uncle Sam. The nickname came to symbolize the federal government. *** The image of Uncle Sam wearing a top hat with stars and stripes and a white beard was created by Thomas Nast (1840-1902) for a political cartoon. Nast also created the image of a chubby white haired and bearded Santa Claus. *** The most famous image of Uncle Sam is on a World War I army recruitment poster with the caption I WANT YOU. The poster was painted by James Montgomery Flagg (1877-1960) in 1916. Flagg designed 45 military posters during the war. *** Ellis Island, an island of upper New York and the home of the Statue of Liberty, was the main immigration station of the United States from 1892 to 1943. The island was closed in 1954. Ellis Island was designated as a national monument in 1965. *** The base of the Statue of Liberty is inscribed with one of the most quoted American poems. Do you know the poem? The author? Can you recite to oft-recited lines in the
poem? See answer at end. *** An inscription on the Liberty Bell reads By Order of the Assembly of the Province of Pensylvania for the State House in Philad. Spelling the name of the state with one n was acceptable when the bell was cast in 1752. *** The strike note of the Liberty Bell is Eat. *** The bald eagle builds the largest nest of any bird in North America. Their nests average 5 feet across and 2 feet deep. *** The four presidents on Mount Rushmore were selected for their symbolism. George Washington represents the struggle for independence. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) symbolizes equality. Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) stands for democracy. Theodore Roosevelt (18581919) represents leadership in the 20th century. *** President Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933) dedicated Mount Rushmore as a national memorial on Aug. 10, 1927. *** Calvin Coolidge was born on July 4, 1872. *** Answer: The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus (1849-1887) was written in 1883. The poem has the famous lines Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

Police reports
Asleep at the wheel
A woman was seen falling asleep at the wheel and bouncing off of the curb at the intersection of Cherry Avenue and Sneath Lane in San Bruno before 3:15 p.m. Friday, June 24.
The Daly City father who told police he held his 17-month-old son in a heated oven to teach him about its dangers falsely confessed to the crime when in actuality it was the toddler who climbed inside the appliance, a defense attorney told jurors yesterday. During opening statements in the trial of Gregory David Colver Jr., 20, defense attorney Mara Feiger asked jurors to disregard the reported confession they will hear from her client and focus instead on evidence she said points to an active boy with a documented love of climbing and ovens. She said Colver only claimed responsibility when presented with a doctors opinion of abuse and originally told authorities the child climbed inside because the childs mother worried that his not knowing what happened would lead to protective services taking the toddler away. Prosecutor Shin-Mee Chang, though, told jurors the confession was a true version of how, on Dec. 28, the boy received seconddegree burns on his legs. Even young children instinctively recoil from heat as a matter of human instinct and self-preservation, she said. The idea the boy, referred to in court as John Doe, climbed on top of the stove, turned on the oven, waited for it to reach 425 degrees, climbed inside without burning his hands, then went back to his sleeping father until he awoke is a completely implausible scenario, Chang said. Instead, Chang said Colver broke the rst rule of parenting. In a jailhouse interview, she said, he told
police that night he was tired, waiting for his girlfriend to return home from work and just lost it. He preheated the oven for a pizza and went to the bathroom where he heard his son slapping a hand on the stove. You want to feel this Gregory Colver hot thing? Chang said Colver recalled saying before lifting the child inside the oven where he lost his grip. Colver then called his girlfriend, the boys mother, at work and she rushed the child inside Seton Hospital while he remained in the parking lot. Chang said Colver never entered the emergency room where his son was being treated, instead concocting a story that the boy broke through the kitchen baby gate with a motorized Spider-man bike, used the empty bike box to crawl on top of the appliance, turn the heat knob and open the door. Dr. Marc Levsky, an emergency room doctor at Seton Hospital in Daly City, testied the boy had linear burn marks and some charring below the knees on the back of his left and front of his right leg. The marks werent in a discernible pattern like hed expect from a single contact and there werent any marks on his hands, Levsky said. Hospital staff alerted child protective services and the child was transferred to St. Francis Burn Center in San Francisco. Three doctors at three different hospitals reached the same conclusion an adult must have placed the toddler in the oven, Chang said. But Feiger asked jurors not to reach a verdict based on assumptions, emotions and arro-
gance of doctors who cant imagine their conclusions are wrong. Colver, she said, was tired from long hours at work and fell asleep on his couch. He awoke to the boy whimpering and noticed red marks on his legs while placing him in a crib. After smelling something odd from the kitchen, Colver realized his son was burned and called his girlfriend because he had no car, Feiger said. How exactly the boy got on top of the stove or what dials he played with will never be known, she said. What is known is the boys nature, Feiger said. Hes a climber, she said. One of his favorite toys is a play oven at his grandparents home and one set of grandparents actually removed their oven knobs because the boy has such a strong interest in it, she said. Colver told authorities the detailed version of his sons climbing on and into the stove because his girlfriend said they wouldnt believe that he just didnt know. Its her story, its not my clients. Its the mothers story, Feiger said. They didnt know how this occurred so they speculated. Although Chang said the child would have had to push the oven dial in and turn in order to turn it on, Feiger said that was the one knob that didnt require the effort. Standing in front of the actual oven which had been placed in the middle of the courtroom, Feiger turned the knob several times to demonstrate. Colver faces approximately nine years in prison if convicted of felony child abuse. He has pleaded not guilty and is free from custody on a $100,000 bail bond. The prosecution continues its case Tuesday.

SAN FRANCISCO Pacific Gas & Electric Co. ofcials revealed this week the company had been running some of its natural gas pipelines at higher pressure levels than what is recommended by federal safety authorities because the utility had wrongly classied its transmission lines. The company did a system-wide study of its
transmission lines to conrm whether they were correctly designated according to federal regulations in response to an order from the California Public Utilities Commission following Septembers deadly explosion in San Bruno, which killed eight. CPUC Executive Director Paul Clanon called the revelation a serious failure with serious safety repercussions on Friday. The
federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration requires utilities to perform more stringent inspections on lines that run through highly populated areas. We hope were nearing the end of the revelations about PG&Es poor safety efforts, Clanon said in a statement. PG&E faces another investigation and more potential nes.

A fake medical doctor whose advice included eating watermelon in a hot tub as a kidney treatment was sentenced to 30 days in jail Friday on two misdemeanor charges. Yevgeniy Valentine Vasin, who goes by the name Eugene, pleaded no contest to the unauthorized practice of medicine and falsely identifying himself as a medical doctor. He was ordered to surrender to the jail Aug. 13 to serve 30 days, minus the two for which he has credit, followed by three years probation. He was also ordered not to engage in any medical treatment or pass himself off as a medical professional. The settlement was a fair outcome for the case, said prosecutor Sean Dabel. Attorneys were uncertain if Ukranian-born Vasin, 54, had a Ph.D. due to his possible schooling abroad but Dabel said he most certainly was not a licensed medical physician and failed multiple California medical exams. There are some indications he does have a doctorate degree but it is very difcult to verweet Connections Ice Cream Shop, located at 430 San Mateo Ave. in San Bruno, is hosting a summer reading program through July 22 for native Spanishspeaking children who are entering first through third grades.

ify the authenticity, Dabel said. However, between 2009 and 2010, Vasin reportedly charged Ronelle Kotter $300 per hour for medical treatment at his ofce and her Belmont home. Kotter was diagnosed with multiYevgeniy Vasin ple sclerosis by doctors at the University of California at San Francisco but Vasin told her she actually had Lyme disease and she should cut her prescribed pills. He also injected her with cerebrolysin, proserin and Vitamin B-12. Vasin treated Kotters daughter in 2003 after meeting the family through church and later began treating Kotter, Dabel said. Kotters daughter told authorities Vasin said Stanford Medical Center doctors misdiagnosed her with dermatomyositis when she really had lupus. He convinced her that eating watermelon in a hot tub would help her kidneys and also treated her with vitamins. In April 2010, Kotters family contacted the Belmont Police Department about Vasin bgough_2000@yahoo.com. *** School-Force, which raises funds to support schools in the BelmontRedwood Shores Elementary School District needs volunteers to ll several positions.

Vasin advertised online offering physiological consultation and alternative medicine. He claims more than 20 years as a practicing physician with a Ph.D. in medical science from the Physical Culture University of Kiev. Vasin said he served as chief physiologist and sports medicine physician for the Soviet National Olympic Team in 1982 and developed revolutionary non-invasive programs to promote the bodys own healing process. No other patients of Vasin have come forward following news of his case, Dabel said. Nothings been brought to our attention but our door is still open, Dabel said.

SACRAMENTO During his State of the State address in January, Gov. Jerry Brown acknowledged Californias deep nancial hole but also expressed faith in the states ability to rebound and surprise its doubters. The growth in Californias economy during the three decades since he rst held the governors ofce, he said, could be described as a marvel, even a miracle and some kind of gift. The budget he signed Thursday for the new scal year extends that abiding faith into the year ahead. Brown and his fellow Democrats in
the Legislature balanced the budget largely on the hope of a small miracle that Californias general fund will collect about $12 billion more in tax revenue than was in Jerry Brown anticipated January. If not, it will mean more spending cuts, including the possibility of shortening the school year by seven days. The biggest question mark hanging over the budget plan is whether that revenue gift will appear. Many economists are skeptical. California is struggling to pull itself out
of recession, and one recent forecast suggests the housing bust will remain a drag on the states economy for years, contributing to an unemployment rate that will persist above 10 percent until mid-2013. The Brown administration says there is evidence to support the sunny revenue projections that include an estimated $4 billion in higher tax receipts on top of more than $6 billion Brown assumed in his May budget revision. Several billion dollars more than anticipated already has been deposited in the states accounts. Department of Finance ofcials say the main reason is that the wealthiest Californians are seeing their incomes grow faster than the average worker.
LOS ANGELES Six weeks after Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed he had fathered a child out of wedlock, his wife Maria Shriver filed divorce papers Friday to end their marriage of 25 years. The former television journalist and Kennedy family heir cited irreconcilable differences but offered no additional details about the breakup.
She also did not list a date when the couple separated, although they announced they had done so on May 9. A week later, the former action star and former governor Maria Shriver admitted he fathered a child with a member of his household staff years ago. Nearly 40,000 residential properties were reassessed and almost 35,000 qualied for a decline in value. In comparison, 29,000 properties qualified last year. Of 612 commercial properties evaluated, 546 qualied for the value change. Some properties actually gained value but the difference between the Proposition 13 value and the current roll is $1.4 billion.

The unsecured roll, which is 5.6 percent of the total roll, showed positive signs with a nearly $192 million increase in assessed value over last year. The 2.48 percent increase is chalked up to the value of aviation and concessions at San Francisco International Airport.

OPINION
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly rmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their ofces, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Ofces, and sent hither swarms of Ofcers to harass our people and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benet of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and t instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perdy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may dene a Tyrant, is unt to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a rm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Wall Street
prices receded. Its quite a turnaround from May and early June. Many economists and analysts began lowering their estimates for growth in May after a string of negative reports on manufacturing, consumer spending and hiring by private companies. A shortage of computer chips and auto parts from Japan, higher gas prices and severe weather in the South all contributed to what appeared to be a slowdown in the economic recovery. Stocks had lost most of their gains for the year by mid-June. Todd Salamone, an investment strategist at Schaffers Investment Research said the recent surge in stocks represents an unwinding of the tremendous negativity that built up over the past few weeks. The Dow rose 168.43 points, or 1.4 percent, to 12,582.77, on Friday. The Standard and Poors 500 index gained 18.94, or 1.4 percent, to 1,339.67. The Nasdaq composite added 42.51, or 1.5 percent, to 2,816.03. All 30 stocks in the index rose Friday. Companies that do well during times of economic expansion led the index. Alcoa Inc. and Caterpillar Inc. each gained more than 2 percent.
Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Friday on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market: NYSE Oshkosh Corp.,up $4.01 at $32.95 Activist investor Carl Icahn bought a 9.5 percent stake in the heavy-vehicle maker, and said he wants to talk with management. Eastman Kodak Co.,down 51 cents at $3.07 The International Trade Commission largely agreed with a judge who threw out the photo companys claims in a key patent case. Marathon Oil Corp.,up 97 cents at $32.95 The oil company spun off its rening division into a separate publicly traded company called Marathon Petroleum. Discover Financial Services, down 20 cents at $26.55 The credit-card issuer said the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is reviewing some of its marketing practices. Nasdaq Apollo Group Inc.,up $2.78 at $46.46 Revenue slid in the for-prot schools third quarter because of a steep enrollment decline, but prot topped Wall Street expectations. Blackboard Inc.,up 78 cents at $44.17 The educational software maker is being taken private for $1.64 billion by an investor group led by Providence Equity Partners.

InterDigital Inc.,up $6.12 at $46.87 The company, which licenses patents for wireless products,got a lift from the successful $4.5 billion auction of Nortels patents.
NEW YORK So much for that soft patch. A rebound in U.S. manufacturing surprised investors Friday, sending the Dow Jones industrial average up nearly 170 points. The Dow ended up 648 points, or 5.4 percent, for the week. It was the indexs best week in two years. The rally started Monday after Nike Inc. reported strong quarterly results. Revenue that beat analyst predictions indicated that shoppers are still splurging on pricier sneakers and sportswear, despite the recent run-up in gas prices. Thursday, Greece cleared its nal hurdle before it receives its next round of loans to avoid default on its debt. The same day, a report showed that manufacturing in the Chicago region had picked up unexpectedly. Fridays Institute for Supply Management report showed that manufacturing across the country had expanded, reinforcing the growing perception that the slowdown was temporary. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and a number of prominent economists have argued that the economy will pick up again once the effects of the Japan disaster waned and high gas
DETROIT Gas prices hit a sweet spot for automakers last month. They fell far enough to spur pickup truck sales, yet remained so high that small cars sold well, sometimes just hours after reaching dealers lots. That made June a good month for General Motors and Ford, which have traditionally relied on truck sales and now have strong line-ups of smaller, fuel-efcient models as well. Toyota and Honda couldnt take advantage, however. Their sales plummet more than 20 percent each as they ran short of cars because of the ongoing problems from the March earthquake in Japan.
Those declines and the continuing weakness in the U.S. economy meant sales grew more slowly in June than they might have. U.S. sales rose 7 percent to 1.05 million. Analysts had expected a double-digit gain. Sales arent expected to pick back up until fall, when Japanese production is at full capacity. Some consumers have decided to sit on their hands and delay their purchases, said Don Johnson, GMs vice president of U.S. sales. General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co. both said their sales rose 10 percent. And the Chevrolet Cruze small car vaulted past perennial best-sellers like the Toyota Camry and the Honda Civic to become the best-selling car in America. Chrysler Groups sales increased 30 percent thanks to popular new products like the Jeep Grand
Cherokee and Chrysler 200 sedan. Gas prices averaged $3.68 per gallon in June, cheaper than in May but hardly inexpensive. It was enough to change some buyers behaviors. There is a certain portion of consumers that react to gas prices almost on a daily basis, and they decide what to buy based on those prices, said Jesse Toprak, vice president of industry trends and insights for car pricing site TrueCar.com. The drop in gas prices lured more pickup truck buyers. Chrysler reported a 35-percent increase in Ram truck sales, while Chevrolet Silverado sales rose 5 percent. Any jump in pickup sales helps the Detroit automakers, which sell more than ve times as many pickups as foreign-based brands. But even Nissan Motor Co. beneted. Sales of its Frontier small pickup rose 51 percent.
LOS ANGELES Zynga, the online game maker behind FarmVille and other popular Facebook pastimes, is going public, the latest in a crop of highvalued Internet IPOs expected after LinkedIn Corp. showed that the online networking craze is a hot commodity on Wall Street. Zynga Inc. hopes to raise up to $1 billion in an initial public offering that follows LinkedIns sizzling stock market debut last month. The amount of money
Zynga is seeking in its IPO will likely change as its bankers determine how many shares should be sold and at what price. That process typically takes three to four months. Theres pent-up demand for the stock of large social media companies because so few of them have gone public, even as they have been steadily expanding their reach for several years. The opening of the oodgates could culminate next year in a long-awaited IPO of Facebook, the biggest social network of them all. Because of Zyngas size, strong nancials and potential for a valuation of $20 billion or more at the start, the 4-yearold companys IPO is already drawing
comparisons to another high-profile stock-market debut. Google came to town like a threering circus and this one will too, said John Fitzgibbon Jr., founder of IPO Scoop, which tracks IPOs. Theyre going like gangbusters, and theyre coming to town with a lot of hype, and Im sure that will carry over into the IPO and the aftermarket. Fitzgibbon cautioned against talk of a bubble following the steady stream of recent IPOs. He and other market watchers say there is a key difference now, compared with Silicon Valleys asco a decade ago. involved in talks to potentially buy online video site Hulu. The person said presentations to sell the company have started, but its too early to declare a leading bidder. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions are condential. Hulu began to look for bidders early last week after an unsolicited offer prompted Hulus board to look for other interested parties. Hulu runs movies and shows from broadcasters ABC, Fox and NBC.

WIMBLEDON, England Having ensured his rst trip to a Wimbledon nal and rst turn at No. 1 in the rankings with a thrilla-minute victory, Novak Djokovic dropped to his back at the baseline, limbs spread wide, chest heaving. Moments later, he knelt and kissed the Centre Court grass, while his entourage bounced giddily in unison, huddling in a tight circle up in Djokovics guest box. Clearly, it meant so much to all of them that
Djokovic beat 12th-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France 7-6 (4), 6-2, 6-7 (9), 6-3 Friday in an entertaining and engaging seminal lled with diving volleys and showmanship. What would mean even more: If Djokovic, who is Novak Djokovic 47-1 in 2011, can beat defending champion Rafael Nadal for the title Sunday at the All England Club. As a kid in war-torn Serbia, Djokovic
recalled, I was always trying to visualize myself on Sunday, the last Sunday of Wimbledon. Being in the Wimbledon final its the thing for me. Top-seeded Nadal extended his winning streak at the grass-court Rafael Nadal Grand Slam tournament to 20 matches by ending the latest so-close-yet-so-far bid by a British man at Wimbledon, eliminating No. 4 Andy Murray 5-7, 6-2, 6-2, 6-4. Its the third con-
secutive year Murray has lost in the seminals. The last British man to win Wimbledon was Fred Perry in 1936, and the last to even reach the nal was Bunny Austin in 1938; since then, the host countrys men are a combined 0-11 in seminals. I feel sad for Andy, said Nadal, who showed no signs of being hampered by the aching left heel that hes numbing with painkilling injections as he seeks a third Wimbledon championship and 11th Grand Slam trophy overall.
Its not unusual to see baseball players take on new positions and workloads when they transition from the high school season to the summer baseball season. Take San Carlos Tribe pitcher Nic Bongi, for example. The closer for the Carlmont baseball team during the high school year, he has returned to a starting role this summer. The thing with him, hes always been a starter, said Tribe manager Rich Vallero, who is also Carlmonts manager. (Bongi not starting during the school year) wasnt a knock on anything Nic has done. Hes one of those kids who says, Whatever you need me to do. Bongi made the start for San Carlos against Palo Alto Post 375 in the rst game of the Burlingame 4th of July Tournament at Washington Park. Bongi was helped by a sixrun rst by the Tribes offense, but he did the rest, shutting down Palo Alto for ve innings in an 11-1 San Carlos win that was called after six innings because of the 10-run mercy rule. When youre relieving, you have to be on (from the moment you enter the game), Bongi said. (As a starter) its a little more relaxing. Bongi and the rest of the Tribe got to relax a bit early as they struck for six runs in the rst inning, sending all nine batters to the plate. As well as Bongi pitched for San Carlos, Palo Alto pitcher Kyle Zirbes was just the opposite. Although Zirbes recovered to pitch three more good innings, he was doomed by San Carlos rst inning. Matt Crowder and Alex Blandino led off the game with walks for the Tribe. Geo Saba drove in the rst run of the game with a single to left. Colton Hicks followed two batters later with a two-run double that was just fair down the left-eld line. Two batters later, Jackson Badger drove in the fth run of the inning with a double to left and Anthony Ryan rounded out the outburst with an RBI groundout. It was a good start, Vallero said. Were lucky to have a group thats talented and gets
San Carlos starting pitcher Nic Bongi held Palo Alto to just four hits over ve innings in the Tribes 11-1 win over Palo Alto in the Burlingame 4th of July Tournament.
SAN JOSE Camp Alex II is ofcially over. Nobody knows for certain when the San Francisco 49ers will begin training camp. Or if Alex Smith can be as successful of a quarterback this fall as he has been this summer. The 49ers former and apparently future quarterback ended his nal scheduled informal team workout Friday. After organizing two separate four-day mini-camps at San Jose State that included most of the offensive players, Smith said he has installed about as much of new coach Jim Harbaughs West Coast system as he can this summer. All he can do now is wait for the NFL lockout to end so he can show how much the workouts really accomplished. Alex Smith I know what I installed and everything I basically threw at the wall. I dont know how much of it stuck to the wall, said Smith, a free agent expected to re-sign with the team. And I think thats going to be the test when these guys come back, whenever this thing ends, how much of it stuck. At the very least, Smith believes the workouts have put the 49ers in a better position. San Francisco has among the most to lose the deeper the labor disagreement goes, with so much under Harbaugh that is unknown and unsettled. Smith spent just a few hours with Harbaugh and his staff when the lockout was briey lifted, leaving the teams headquarters with boxes of game highlights and a playbook. Smith studied the information and relayed that to his teammates during classroom sessions he taught on a drawing board. He even quizzed them when it was over and awarded undisclosed prizes, revealing only that receiver Kevin Jurovich left happiest. The two dozen or so players at most of the workouts which was down to 10 offensive
SAN JOSE The San Jose Sharks opened the free agency period by lling two of their remaining needs, signing forward Michal Handzus to a $5 million, two-year contract and defenseman Jim Vandermeer to a $1 million, one-year deal Friday. The moves follow last weeks trade with Minnesota for All-Star defenseman Brent Burns, giving the Sharks a proven penalty
killer and a physical defenseman to bring depth to the blue line. Handzus, 34, appeared in all 82 regular-season games for Los Angeles last season, recording 12 goals and 18 assists. He led Kings forwards in short-handed ice time on the fourthbest, penalty-killing team in the NHL. He also is strong in the faceoff circle. With Joe Pavelski expected to move back to one of the top two lines after 22-goal scorer Devin Setoguchi was traded to the Wild and free agent Scott Nichol not being brought
back, the Sharks needed a player like Handzus. Michal is an extremely skilled player that has a great mix of size and competitiveness, general manager Doug Wilson said. He is one of the top penalty-killing forwards in this league and has the ability to play in any situation. Handzus has 172 goals and 263 assists in 844 games in his 12-year career with the Kings, Chicago, Philadelphia, Phoenix and St. Louis. He has also made the playoffs eight times, including last season when he lost to the
Sharks in six games in the opening round. The Sharks kept restricted free agents Jamie McGinn, Andrew Desjardins and Frazer McLaren before the start of free agency and have Torrey Mitchell under contract as players expected to compete for time on the third and fourth lines. Wilson said he has not talked with representatives for free agent Kyle Wellwood, leaving his status to be determined.

Giants 4, Tigers 3
Jeremy Affeldt came on, and Detroit pulled within one when second baseman Emmanuel Burriss muffed a slow grounder for an error. Boesch was up next and made solid contact, but hit the ball to the worst possible place. Pablo Sandoval It was Affeldts third save of the season. The Tigers dropped a half-game behind rst-place Cleveland in the AL Central. Madison Bumgarner allowed a run and ve hits over 7 1-3 outstanding innings for San Francisco. He struck out nine and walked one. Detroit scratched out a run after Bumgarner departed following a walk by Inge. Sergio Romo came on and got the second out of the inning, but Javier Lopez then took the mound and allowed a single to pinch-hitter Boesch. Wilson was next out of the bullpen, and Ordonez greeted him with a single to right. It didnt stay tied for long. Chris Stewart led
DETROIT Pablo Sandoval hit a tiebreaking double in the top of the ninth inning, then the San Francisco Giants held on for a 4-3 win over the Detroit Tigers on Friday night when Brennan Boesch lined into a double play with the bases loaded. The Giants were coming off back-to-back losses to the Cubs both in Chicagos last atbat. They nearly fell again in wild fashion. After scoring three runs in the top of the ninth, San Francisco allowed two in the bottom half before shortstop Brandon Crawford caught Boeschs soft line drive and quickly stepped on second to double off Brandon Inge, ending the game. Brian Wilson (6-1) got the win, but only after blowing a save for the second straight day. Wilson allowed Magglio Ordonezs RBI single in the eighth that tied it at 1. After the Giants took the lead, Wilson started the ninth but had to be pulled with one out, the bases loaded and a run already in. Wilson slugged a cooler in the dugout with a bat after leaving the game.
off the ninth with a double, and Aaron Rowand followed with a single, reaching base as part of his broken bat went ying over the third-base dugout. One out later, Sandoval hit a ground-rule double to left-center to make it 2-1. The Giants added two more runs when Jose Valverde (2-3) and Brayan Villarreal issued bases-loaded walks. Rowand had three hits. Detroits Brad Penny allowed a run and seven hits in seven innings. He struck out two and walked two. The Giants threatened early, putting runners at rst and third with nobody out in the rst. Penny got out of the jam thanks to a fantastic play by left elder Casper Wells. Sandoval lifted a foul ball toward the seats, and Wells not only caught it amid reaching fans but he also threw home to catch Rowand, who had tagged up at third. Sandoval made the most of his next big opportunity. With Rowand on second and two outs in the fth, he sliced an 0-2 pitch to the gap in left-center to put the Giants ahead. Bumgarner has been excellent since being knocked out in the rst inning of a June 21
start against Minnesota. In his two outings since then, hes allowed two runs in 14 1-3 innings, with 20 strikeouts and two walks. Detroits Lester Oliveros made his major league debut in the eighth, striking out two and allowing a hit and a walk in an inning. Oliveros was called up from the minors to replace Al Alburquerque, who went on the disabled list with inammation in his right arm. NOTES: Detroit 2B Carlos Guillen (left knee) is transferring from Class-A Lakeland to Triple-A Toledo as part of his rehabilitation assignment. ... San Francisco plans to start LHP Barry Zito on three days rest Saturday, with RHP Ryan Vogelsong taking the mound Sunday. Zito and Vogelsong both pitched in a doubleheader Tuesday. ... Victor Martinez has been with the Tigers barely a half-season, and hes already impressed manager Jim Leyland. Martinez has made the transition to designated hitter look easy. He entered Fridays game hitting .329. I cant say enough about him, Leyland said. Hes one of the best teammates Ive ever managed or been around.
DENVER For nearly a decade, Mark Ellis dutifully followed the rules in Oakland by donning white shoes. Now with the Colorado Rockies, the veteran second baseman got a little more colorful with his cleat selection, bringing out a model featuring black and purple. The shoes, maybe even more than the purple pinstripe uniform, is going to take some getting used to as the longtime Oakland inelder settles into his new life in the Mile High City. It didnt take Ellis too long to get comfortable at the plate. In his rst game with the Rockies, Ellis had three hits and three RBIs, coming up a triple shy of hitting for the cycle. The Rockies acquired Ellis, along with cash, from the Athletics on Thursday for minor league pitcher Bruce Billings and a player to be named later.
Ellis made his debut with the Rockies on Friday night against the Kansas City Royals. He was playing second base and batting second in the order. And looking snazzy in those colorful cleats. Its funny not seeing white shoes. You look down and youre always used to white shoes, Ellis said before the game. But its nice. Hes hoping a change of scenery can break him out of a season-long slump. Ellis hit .217 with one homer and 16 RBIs in 62 games with the As. Hes off to a solid start, lacing a single between short and third in his rst at bat. The crowd acknowledged the hit with a steady round of applause. The Rockies are counting on Ellis to bring stability at second base, something the team has lacked all season. Theyve trotted out Chris Nelson, Jonathan Herrera, Eric Young Jr. and Jose Lopez, whos since been let go. On Friday, Colorado sent both Nelson and
Young back to Triple-A Colorado Springs. The job belongs to Ellis. This is a proven major league player with a proven resume a very, very capable guy, Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. I dont know how this is going to play out, but I do know this: For us to go out and make an acquisition like this as early as it has been done, Ive seen situations like this play themselves out where it ends up being an incredible shot in the arm for a ballclub. Colorado denitely needs a boost. The Rockies trailed San Francisco by 6 1/2 games heading into the night. Ellis already has this in common this his teammates: Both share a passion to beat the Giants. Thats my goal. Were 6 1/2 games back, I looked in the paper, Ellis said. Thats denitely a good team, and it will be fun to compete against them. Venturing around the clubhouse Friday, Ellis ran into familiar faces everywhere he turned. He
once was teammates in Oakland with closer Huston Street and rst baseman Jason Giambi. Any secrets he can reveal? I could give you a lot of dirt on Street, but Jason would probably tell you dirt on himself, Ellis chuckled. Ellis had plenty of mixed emotions departing Oakland. But given all the stars who have left town in recent years, he wasnt completely surprised by the move. I kind of gured something was going to happen in Oakland. Somebody asked me yesterday if I expected to get traded, and when you dont get traded for 10 years, you dont really expect to get traded, but I kind of anticipated it a little bit, Ellis said. It was a tough day. It was sad. You spend all that time with people and its tough. I wanted to get here as soon as possible and start this new chapter. I was excited when I heard it was Colorado. If I had to leave Oakland, this was one of the spots, if not the spot, that I wanted to go.

SINSHEIM, Germany The American women havent looked the same since Pia Sundhage got her hands on them. After years of getting the ball to their forwards and letting them overwhelm defenses with their superior athleticism, Sundhage has injected a little European air into the U.S. offense. I was always saying the States played a little too direct, said Sundhage, a Swede who is the rst foreign coach the U.S. women have had. Theyve been very, very successful, dont get me wrong. So I wanted to change that, but it couldnt be too big of a change. With a successful team, you cant change too much. When the two-time World Cup champions play Colombia on Saturday, fans will see a possession-based offense. Instead of relying on the forwards to begin the attack, Sundhage wants the offense to develop in the mideld. Think the uid, pretty style of Barcelona, and you get an idea of what Sundhage is going for. Really knowing how to break down teams with many passes and much possession, truthfully thats the best way of defending is holding the ball, Abby Wambach said. Thats why Barcelona is so good. They literally force their opponents into submission because they always have the ball. Its demoralizing when you dont even get much chance.
Pia Sundhage
I was always saying the States played a little too direct. So I wanted to change that,but it couldnt be too big of a change.
Opponents used to know exactly what was coming when they played the U.S., regardless of who was in the lineup or where on the eld the Americans took possession. But they were powerless to do anything about it. The U.S. forwards were either bigger or quicker or both and more skilled. And because U.S. kids start out playing one-on-one in pretty much every sport, there was nothing Michelle Akers, Mia Hamm, Tiffeny Milbrett or Wambach loved more than taking on a defender or a goalkeeper. Yes, I love playing on a team that theyre sending balls up to me and Im ghting for balls. Its my style, Wambach said. If you have a strong forward that can hold the ball, that can keep the ball for you, you can start the attack much further up eld. For me, I love that. And I love being physical. But the rest of the world is closing the gap on the Americans as countries devote more attention and resources to their womens programs. Two countries, Colombia and
Equatorial Guinea, made their World Cup debut here in Germany. Not only is France back after an eight-year absence, its ahead of two-time defending champion Germany on goal difference atop Group A after breaking down Canada with a crisp passing game Thursday. If the United States doesnt adapt, it risks nding itself pulled back into the pack. We need to be smarter. We need to do different things, Sundhage said. Change the point of attack more than once. For me, the game is about rhythm. In order to nd rhythm, in order to decrease the tempo sometimes and increase the tempo, you need everybody involved. Now when the Americans get the ball, Sundhage wants it to go to the center midelders, usually Carli Lloyd and Shannon Boxx. Based on what they see, they can send the ball out to the anks or up to one of the forwards. Or they can direct it back to a defender and start the whole process over again. Not only do the long possessions burn time off the clock, they can frustrate opponents like nothing else. Watch Barcelona play, and it often looks like a game of keepaway until theres a lightning strike of a goal, that is. I think its good for our system, captain Christie Rampone said Friday. We cant always rely on one thing. Teams are getting better, stronger, putting more into their programs, as you can see. All these games (at the World Cup) have been close and theyve been
very good. So I think we need that addition to our attack. As with any change, though, the transition has not always been smooth. After going more than two years without a loss, the Americans dropped three games in a ve-month span. They lost to Mexico, a team that hadnt beaten the U.S. in 25 tries, in regional qualifying. They dropped a game to Sweden, then lost to England for the rst time since 1988. Wambach has scored only once this season though part of that can be blamed on her being slowed by a right Achilles tendon injury much of the last year. To input a Barcelona-ish kind of style, where you possess the ball, yeah, I get the ball much less, Wambach said. But it is more pretty to play the game that way. When the ball does eventually get up to my area, I have to be better. Thats the challenge Im under. And its fun that way, too. Its different. And the U.S. isnt abandoning its old ways completely. As the Americans get more comfortable with what Sundhage is asking them to do, they can combine it with their traditional strengths. Were trying to now connect both, Rampone said. I think for a while there, we were just going with the creative side, creative side, and not being as predictable on the eld. I think we were not reading each other as well. So I think weve come together as still having that (one-on-one) mentality, USA, old style, going after it combined with a little creativity.
Japan 4, Mexico 0
Sawa put Japan ahead shortly afterward, getting to Aya Miyamas free kick and sending a header past Cecilia Santiago from close range. Two minutes later, with a deft touch that took the ball past two defenders, Ohno scored with a shot into the roof of the net. Dominguez found herself alone facing three Japanese defenders in the 33rd minute. But her attempt was stopped, and although Veronica Perez was lucky to get another chance from the rebound, it was sent harmlessly wide. Perezs free kick a minute later was easily gathered by Japan keeper Ayumi Kaihori. Another header from Sawa this time from Miyamas corner kick all but ended the game in the 39th. The 16-year-old Santiago should not have been beaten at the near post, but the youngest goalkeeper in tournament history was left exposed by her weak defense. Mexico coach Leonardo Cuellar appeared to wave the white ag when he took off the ineffective Dominguez for Kenti Robles a defender in the 62nd minute.
LEVERKUSEN, Germany Japan routed Mexico 4-0 Friday on a hat trick by Homare Sawa to reach the quarternals of the Womens World Cup for the second time. Sawa, playing in her fth World Cup, opened the scoring in the 13th minute before a crowd of 22,291 at Bay Arena. The 32-year-old captain added her second goal in the 39th after Shinobu Ohno had made it 2-0 in the 15th. Sawa had plenty of room in the 80th minute when she was set up by Yukari Kinga for her third goal. In Group Bs late game in Dresden, England and New Zealand need a win to have any realistic hope of advancing. Mexico is in danger of elimination. Japan pushed forward when it had the ball and defended with commitment without it. All of which left Mexico overrun at mideld and made for a frustrating afternoon for Mexico captain Maribel Dominguez. Early on, she was crowded off the ball, ending a promising move initiated by Stephany Mayor on the right wing.

DRESDEN, Germany Jill Scott rallied England with a second-half goal and assisted on another for a 2-1 win over New Zealand on Friday. For more than an hour, England was in trouble. But the tall midelder Scott turned things around with a 63rd-minute header and a low pass to Jess Clarke for an 81st-minute winner. England moved into second place in Group B with four points, behind Japan, which beat Mexico 4-0 in the other group game to advance to the quarternals. With two losses, New Zealand was eliminated. England will play Japan in the last group game on Tuesday. We had most of the play and sheer determination got us the goals and three points, said England coach Hope Powell. Against the run of play, New Zealand scored on a smart counter. Amber Hearn went deep and robbed a defender of the ball and sent a low pass into the center where Sarah Gregorius forced her way in between two defenders to slot home the opener in the 18th minute.

ed a 43-match streak that ended with a seminal loss to Federer at the French Open a month ago. Otherwise, Djokovic has been perfect. He won the rst seven tournaments he entered this year including the Australian Open in January and beat Nadal in four nals. His total game is really complete, said Nadal, who is 16-11 against Djokovic, including 5-0 at Grand Slam tournaments. Good serve, very good movements. ... His eyes are very fast, and he can go inside the court very easy playing very difcult shots. That sounds like a pretty accurate scouting report for Nadal, too. He, though, was merely very good at the outset against Murray, who was downright excellent while winning the rst set with high-risk, high-reward shotmaking and nearly perfect serving. Yet their seminal changed complexion completely early in the second set, with Murray ahead 2-1, and Nadal serving at 15-30. On his heels, Nadal sent back a oater that should have set up an easy winner, but Murray ubbed a forehand, pushing it long. Instead of a break point for Murray, it was 30-all, and the Palo Alto from getting on the board. Bongi allowed only three Palo Alto runners as far as third base and even had a three-pitch inning in the fourth, getting a 4-6-3 double play to help his cause. Bongi needed to be on top of his game because after the rough start, Zirbes settled down and held the Tribe scoreless over the next three innings. The guy they threw (Zirbes) is a good athlete and a good competitor, Vallero said. Were not going to drop three or four runs on him every inning. Hes going to ght. The Tribe made it 7-0 by scoring once in the fth on a Jonathan Corvello sacrice y to right. The run was made possible by a fadeaway slide by Hicks, who slid to the outside of the plate, Scot missed forehands on the next two points, too, starting a seven-game run for Nadal. Probably, Nadal said, the turning point of the match. Murrays take? I was going for it, he explained. Against Rafa, you have to go for big shots. I slightly over-hit that one. As Nadal seized control making a hardto-believe total of three unforced errors in the last three sets, 28 fewer than his opponent all those cries of Come on, Andy! from some of the 15,000 or so of Murrays agwaving countrymen in the stands began to morph from words of support to words of supplication. Its tough. But Im giving it my best shot each time. Im trying my hardest. Thats all you can do, said Murray, a three-time runnerup at other major tournaments. I cant explain exactly how I feel. Djokovic had trouble explaining his joy after joining Tsonga in putting on quite a display in Fridays rst seminal. The highlight-reel points were numerous, starting in the sixth game, when Tsonga dove to his right for a forehand volley that Djokovic avoided the tag and slapped the plate as he went by. The Tribe put the game away with a four-run sixth. Prigatano had the big hit, a two-run single to left. Hicks followed with his third RBI of the game. The fourth run scored on a Palo Alto error. Palo Alto avoided the shutout by scratching across a run against reliever Prigatano. Charles Gross drove in Jordan Peha with a single to left. The tournament continues Saturday and Sunday, with games at 10 a.m., 1 and 4 p.m. Saturday. The championship game is slated for a 7 p.m. start Sunday night.

No matter Sundays result, the Spaniard will be overtaken in the ATP rankings Monday by two-time Australian Open champion Djokovic, wholl rise from No. 2. It will be the rst time since February 2004 that a man other than Roger Federer or Nadal has been No. 1. Both of them are incredibly consistent with their success and so dominant the last couple years. They dont give you a lot of chances to become No. 1, said the 24-year-old Djokovic, beaten in last years U.S. Open nal by Nadal. So I guess you need to lose only one match in seven months to get there. If you can do that, then well done. Yes, Djokovic deserves to hear a Well done! or two for his surge, which he says stems in part from the condence and pride he gained while leading Serbia to its rst Davis Cup title in December.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Tony Stewart vowed Friday to wreck any driver who blocks him on the track, even if that policing costs him a spot in NASCARs championship race. Stewart intentionally spun Brian Vickers last week at Sonoma because he felt Vickers was blocking him during the race. Vickers retaliated later by wrecking Stewart, who had a car capable of contending for the win but wound up 39th. It dropped him to 12th in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings. I am drawing a line in the sand and the next guy Tony Stewart that blocks me, he is going to also suffer the same fate, Stewart said at Daytona International Speedway. He also upped the ante, stating in a calm manner that hed wreck the next driver enough to ensure he wont be able to come back and retaliate against Stewart. It doesnt matter who it is, he said. Ill make sure that when I do it the next time that the guy doesnt have the opportunity to come back and wreck me. His stance seems to be excessive, especially since Stewart is on the bubble of making the Chase with only 10 races left to qualify for the 12-driver eld. Under new qualifying rules, only the top 10 drivers get a Chase berth.

tor to prospects and paid contractor to Oregon is believed to be central to the NCAAs investigation. Lyles said Kelly asked him to send retroactive proles of prospects to justify the $25,000 payment to Complete Scouting Services. Lyles said Kelly was scrambling when he made the request because the transaction was about to be revealed in a March 3 Yahoo! Sports report. Though Oregon didnt directly ask him or pay him to guide recruits to Oregon, Lyles said, he was paid to help top recruits achieve eligibility and make sure they followed through with their commitment to sign with the Ducks. I look back at it now and they paid for what they saw as my access and inuence with recruits, Lyles told Yahoo! Sports. The service I provided went beyond what a scouting service should. I made a mistake and Im big enough of a ed to do something. That leadership quality has been sorely missing from San Franciscos quarterback. The 49ers havent had a winning season or reached the playoffs since 2002, and inconsistency at the position might be the biggest reason why. With the exception of receiver Michael Crabtree, who has openly questioned whether Smith is the presumed starter, players at the workouts have said all the right things about Smith. Theres still little from his past play to suggest he will be the franchises long-term solution, and the presence of second-round pick Colin and a guy who has that physical presence that would complement the rest of our group, Wilson said. We really like how our defense looks now with all the different components. He gives the Sharks another option for their third defensive pairing, along with more offensive players like Jason Demers and Justin Braun. The San Jose defense is led by Burns, AllStar Dan Boyle, Douglas Murray and MarcEdouard Vlasic. Free agent Ian White became expendable when Burns signed and Kent Huskins will most likely not be back after the man to admit I was wrong. Lyles said Josh Gibson, Oregons assistant director of football operations, had knowledge of Lyles helping Seastrunk petition to have his grandmother, rather than his mother, sign his letter of intent. Seastrunks mother was opposed to her son going to Oregon. Indirectly I played a pivotal role in (Seastrunk signing with Oregon), Lyles told the website. Lyles said Kelly promised to become the recruiting services rst client before Seastrunks guardianship was switched. Lyles said Kelly told him to bill Oregon for an amount equal to that charged by the top services, and they agreed to $25,000. Lyles said Oregon never asked him for written proles of any players from March 2010 until February 2011. When the request came, Lyles Kaepernick gures to ignite the fan pessimism that revolves around Smith the rst time the 2005 No. 1 overall pick throws an interception. Smith will be the rst to admit the workouts he organized will be meaningless if he cant nally deliver consistently when it counts. The only action from this summer Harbaugh will see will be on video from the workouts Smith taped. The rest will be up to the quarterback to prove in front of the new coach. Smith is irting with the idea of holding another mini-camp or even a larger session to mimic training camp if the lockout persists into late July. With so many free agents on the defensive side, Smith isnt sure he could nd 11 playSharks added Vandermeer to ll the role of a rugged defenseman. Hes very tough, Wilson said. People dont like to play against him. Hes a great teammate. He plays very hard. He knows the Western Conference well. Hes not afraid to drop gloves and take care of his teammates. Hes an intimidation factor thats a nice complement with what Douglas Murray brings to our group. Vandermeer has spent most of his eight-year NHL career in the Western Conference, except for two stints in Philadelphia. Vandermeer has
The owner of a Texas-based scouting service told Yahoo! Sports that Oregon coach Chip Kelly personally approved a $25,000 payment to him thats the focus of an NCAA investigation. The February 2010 payment to Will Lyles of Houston has been questioned because of his relationship with running backs Lache Seastrunk and LaMichael James. Lyles was paid soon after Seastrunk signed a letter of intent. Oregon announced in March that it had been contacted by the NCAA to provide documentation about its use of recruiting services. Spokesman Dave Williford told The Associated Press on Friday that the school maintains it has done nothing wrong. Yahoo! Sports reported that Lyles role as men-
said, he believed it was because Oregon wanted to establish that he had provided legitimate scouting services. Oregon last week released documents related to its use of Lyles recruiting services that suggest the school paid for outdated information. The documents include a 2010 National High School Evaluation Booklet that actually includes high school athletes who graduated in 2009 and were a part of that years recruiting class. It was part of a package that purportedly was for athletes entering school in 2011. They said they just needed anything, Lyles said. They asked for last-minute (stuff). So I gave them last-minute (stuff). I gave them, like, old stuff that I still had on my computer because I never thought that stuff would see the light of day. ers to ll out a roster and he wouldnt hold contact drills anyway for fear of injuries. Smith and others will continue to lift weights and exercise at San Jose State in smaller groups in the coming weeks, waiting to nd out when training camp begins and if Smith can be as accomplished a quarterback against an NFL defense. I would feel pretty good at this point if training camp started, Smith said. Training camp is where the bulk of the work comes in anyway. You love the offseason program, but I think it serves as the same type of thing. Its an introduction to this stuff. The real football starts in training camp. 24 goals and 77 assists in 436 career games with the Flyers, Chicago, Edmonton, Phoenix and Calgary. He has made the playoffs just three times in his career, losing in the rst round to the Sharks in 2008. That made joining a team that has made it to the Western Conference nal the past two seasons a desirable option in free agency. It was a pretty big factor in the decisionmaking process, Vandermeer said. Looking where this team is at right now, its looking like a really good opportunity.

A Libyan rebel ghter loads his vehicle-mounted rocket launcher at a checkpoint in Bir Ayyad.
TRIPOLI, Libya A defiant Moammar Gadhafi threatened Friday to carry out attacks in Europe against homes, offices, families, unless NATO halts its campaign of airstrikes against his regime in Libya. The Libyan leader, sought by the International Criminal Court for a brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters, delivered the warning in a telephone message played to thousands of supporters gathered in the main square of the capital Tripoli. It was one of the largest pro-government rallies in recent months, signaling that Gadhafi can still muster signicant support. A green cloth, several hundred meters long
and held aloft by supporters, snaked above the crowd lling Tripolis Green Square. Green is Libyas national color. A series of powerful explosions later rattled the heart of the capital, apparently new NATO airstrikes, as Gadha supporters cheered, honked horns and red into the air in the street. Black smoke could be seen rising from the area near Gadhas Bab al-Aziziya compound. Gadha spoke from an unknown location in a likely sign of concern over his safety. Addressing the West, Gadha warned that Libyans might take revenge for NATO bombings. These people (the Libyans) are able to one day take this battle ... to Europe, to target your homes, offices, families, which would become legitimate military targets,
like you have targeted our homes, he said. We can decide to treat you in a similar way, he said of the Europeans. If we decide to, we are able to move to Europe like locusts, like bees. We advise you to retreat before you are dealt a disaster. It was not immediately clear whether Gadha could make good on such threats. In the past, Gadha supported various militant groups, including the IRA and several Palestinian factions, while Libyan agents were blamed for attacks in Europe, including a Berlin disco bombing in 1986 and the downing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 270 people, mostly Americans. Libya later acknowledged responsibility for Lockerbie.

Treasury confirms deadline for raising debt limit Leon Panetta takes over at Pentagon
urged Congress to raise the limit and avoid the catastrophic economic and market consequences of a default crisis. President Barack Obama and Congressional Republicans are engaged in tough negotiations over resolving the issue. Republicans are demanding deep spending cuts as a condition of increasing the limit. But Republicans will not support tax increases, which Democrats say must be part of any deal. A Democratic ofcial said Thursday that the real deadline for reaching agreement is mid-July. Thats because congressional leaders need a week or two to nalize the details and line up votes. The U.S. government will continue to take in revenue after the Aug. 2 deadline passes. But it wont be enough to meet its obligations. The government borrows 40 cents for every dollar that it spends and that adds up to an average decit of about $125 billion each month, the Treasury says. In May, the government took in $175 billion in revenue and spent almost $233 billion. The government faces several payments in August that will necessitate a higher borrowing limit, Treasury ofcials say. About $23 billion in Social Security payments must be made on Aug. 3. And a $30 billion interest payment is due Aug. 15. By Robert Burns

WASHINGTON Congress has one month to raise the nations borrowing limit or the government will default on its debt, the Treasury Department said Friday. Treasury ofcials conrmed the Aug. 2 deadline in a monthly update that assesses the nations borrowing situation. The United States reached the $14.3 trillion limit in May. Higher revenue and accounting maneuvers have allowed the government to keep paying its bills in the interim. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner
PARIS Forced out of his job as leader of the IMF to face sexual assault charges, Dominique Strauss-Kahns political allies are hoping he can still return to
French politics as a major prospect in next years race for the presidency. Strauss-Kahns world changed dramatically Friday when a New York judge freed him without bail from a particularly constraining, and nancially onerous, house arrest after prosecutors stepped forward
with a list of lies from the accuser, a housekeeper in a luxury Manhattan hotel. With the womans credibility suddenly in doubt, Strauss-Kahn quickly regained his aura as a leader even though charges were neither dropped nor reduced or his passport returned.
WASHINGTON On his rst day as Pentagon chief, Leon Panetta said his top priorities are preserving U.S. military power despite budget cuts, defeating alQaida, stabilizing Afghanistan and forging a real and lasting partnership with Iraq. Panetta huddled Friday with the Joint Chiefs of Staff shortly after taking the oath as the nations 23rd secretary of defense, signaling that he intends to follow the example of his predecessor, Robert Gates, in building ties with the military brass. He Leon Panetta said he would, like Gates, put a premium on advocating for the needs of troops and their families. Rest assured that ... I will ght for you, he said in a Fourth of July video message to U.S. troops worldwide. He sounded the same theme at his swearing-in, which was closed to reporters. According to a Pentagon spokesman, Marine Col. David Lapan, Panetta said during the brief oathtaking ceremony in his new ofce, There is no higher responsibility for a secretary of defense than to protect those who are protecting America.

Mark Dayton and GOP legislative leaders, the shutdown was rippling into the lives of people like Sonya Mills, a 39-year-old mother of eight facing the loss of about $3,600 a month in state child care subsidies.

An immigrants story
By Lynn Elber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES A strangers plight lodged itself in producer Paul Junger Witts heart, pushing him for 25 years to bring the dramatized story to life on screen. A Better Life, the result, is the rare Hollywood lm that focuses on a Latino family in the United States and, rarer still, takes an intimate view of the price paid by illegal immiFourth of July run

grants making their bid for the American dream. The movie, in limited release in Los Angeles and New York and opening elsewhere starting Friday, is intended to be apolitical regarding the immigration issue, Witt said, but he wants it to spark more than ticket sales. I think people on both sides can politicize it and thats not unhealthy, because it will promote dialogue and discussion.
This issue isnt going away, he said. If thats one of the results of this lm coming out, so be it. It needs to be talked about. In the mid-1980s, a gardener working for Witts neighbor in Los Angeles lost his truck to a thief. The neighbor offered to help le a police report but the gardener declined, admitting he was in the country illegally and couldnt risk contact with authorities.

here are countless examples of people who will be remembered for their tremendous accomplishments but, while their stories may be varied, they all share one very important characteristic that led to their success. It can be called many different things: ambition, determination, resolve and motivation. They are individuals who were driven to push their limits and challenge what others might consider as the unconquerable. When considering the supposed intangibles of a person, this should be viewed as the most critical aspect of their character. What they carried in their head and in their heart gave them the strength to overcome whatever challenges they faced along the way. Such a belief is certainly not applicable to the majority of the general population. Many people see no need to put in the work to achieve anything above the bare minimum. Exerting the least amount of energy is always viewed as preferable and is a common aspect of human nature. This difference in mentality is what separates the ordinary from the truly extraordinary. Anybody can be considered good at something with a certain amount of effort, but only those who possess unmitigated determination are willing to put in the amount of work necessary to be remembered as one of the greatest ever. To do so requires a considerable amount of commitment and sacrice to which only a certain percentage of the population is willing to commit. The world is full of distractions and other things that serve only to waste time and divert our attention away from doing something constructive. It is so easy to just stalk people on Facebook, watch random YouTube videos or play video games for hours on end. The way I see it, I can waste away my days on this earth by doing those things or I can further develop myself as a person and hopefully change the lives of the people I meet for the better. Everything boils down to a persons perspective and what they see as insurmountable challenges or obstacles. The difculty level of something is a very subjective concept that can be interpreted many different ways. One of my previous music instructors said it best by saying nothing can ever be considered dif-

BLANKETS FROM THE FOUR CORNERS. Southwestern Banded Blankets: Three Cultures, One Horizon at The San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles is a rare exhibit focusing exclusively on banded blankets. These utilitarian and simply striped blankets from the collection of Jean and Roger Moss showcase the rich cultural tradition of the Pueblo, the Navajo and the Spanish Colonial Rio Grande blankets of the "Four Corners" area of the American Southwest. United by common elements of stripes and indigo coloration, these blankets are elegant in their design composition, sophisticated balance and amazing variety. Collector Roger Moss said, "When my wife Jean and I started collecting banded blankets it was because we admired this marriage of utility and beauty and because their virtues had been long overlooked." Curator Deborah Corsini adds, "The understated simplicity of the stripes is a powerful contrast to the visual graphic intensity that resonates with kinetic movement." Southwestern Banded Blankets is underwritten by the Christensen Fund, which supports the production of a limited edition of Black Mesa Blankets produced with 100 precent Churro Wool. The project promotes awareness and understanding of the ber arts of Native Americans in the Southwest and generates increased earned revenue to sustain both the Navajos' Churro sheep herding and weaving practices and the Museum's programs. Southwestern Banded Blankets provides a special opportunity to examine the austere beauty and subtle variations of three traditions of these rare, well-used textiles. The Museum also presents Primary Structures, exploring how innovative artists using simple linear elements in combination with unconventional materials can broaden our understanding of the familiar by transforming the stitch structures of knit and crochet into large scale and compelling art. With work ranging from the architectural to graphic abstractions, from pioneers and established artists as well as contemporary emerging artists, the exhibit showcases the emergence of sculptural art knitting as a 21st century medium of imaginative and cutting edge
tales or comic books. The objects' distorted surfaces and rough glazing may suggest child's play, but these elements of simplicity and exuberance yield to more serious concepts and darker visions. Crafting intentional imperfections into their work, Carneiro da Cunha and Kristalova subvert the assumed innocence of childlike expression and suggest history's dark potential to repeat itself if children (or adults) are told falsehoods about the simplistic nature of the world. This latest installment of SFMOMA's ongoing New Work series, organized by Alison Gass, assistant curator of painting and sculpture, gathers approximately 20 sculptures from public and private collections worldwide, marking both artists' rst exhibition at a major U.S. museum. Curator Gass said, "Like the best political art, these works resist didacticism, engaging instead in timeless fantasies that borrow the shared language of childhood and fundamental human psychology. The sculptures' universaleven fantasticalsubjects, along with their intimate scale, seductive colors and shimmering surfaces, seem equally lovely and strange. They also allow the viewer to look at them in a way that eases the contemplation of weightier issues." The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is located at 151 Third St., near the Moscone Center.

Particularly in the movies, the French Riviera is as glamorous as it gets: a golden-hued playground for the likes of Grace Kelly and Cary Grant where open-top cars are cinematic law. But todays teenyboppers have just as much pull as the idols of yesterday. The gauzy Monte Carlo stars not our most regal cinema heroes, but the young TV upstarts Selena Gomez (Disney Channel star, pop singer and Justin Bieber girlfriend), Katie Cassidy (Melrose Place) and Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl). The 18-year-old Grace (Gomez) has just graduated high school in a small Texas town. She has long dreamed of visiting Paris, saving up tips from waitressing alongside her friend, the brassy 21-year-old high school dropout Emma (Cassidy). Graces mother (Andie MacDowell, in the briefest of roles) and her stepfather (Brett Cullen) are happy to let her and Emma go for a week, so long as they take Graces new stepsister, the 21-year-old Meg (Meester). This upsets Emma because she sees Meg as a nervous wet blanket, and Grace for having a family holiday forced on her long-held dream. In Paris, their trip sours, not because of the usual culprits (rude Parisians, discombobulating rotaries, too much foie gras) but a hyperspeed tour bus that blitzes through tourist sites and eventually leaves them behind. This (along with sudden rain) is enough to make the trip a disaster in the eyes of Grace. She sums up the status allure of the French capital, lamenting that shes not the kind of person who can go to Paris. But at that moment, the trio crosses paths with a wealthy heiress who looks exactly like Grace, because, well, shes also Selena Gomez. As Cordelia Winthrop Scott, Gomez plays a British, snobby look-alike to Grace. Urged on by Emma and buoyed by a confused hotel staff, Grace impersonates Cordelia, winning them a fancy room for the night and tickets on a private jet the next day to Monaco. At Monte Carlo, the action generally swirls around the plush Hotel de Paris, as the girls live out a fantasy of luxury, complete with an

But some gangsters are more fearsome than others.

Paul Junger Witt,A Better Lifeproducer

The story stayed with me for years, said Witt, the veteran producer behind The Golden Girls and other hit TV series along with lms including Insomnia and Three Kings. He began working with a writer to fashion a script for Sony, but the studio dropped the project. After many years and repeated screenplay revisions, writer Eric Eason came in and produced what Witt calls a beautiful script. Director Chris Weitz (Twilight Saga: New Moon) brought his clout to the project and Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the Twilight series, agreed to produce and distribute the lm. Additional nancing came from Lime Orchard Productions for the project, which Witt said was completed for less than $10 million. Spanish cinematographer Javier Aguirresarobe, who worked with Weitz on New Moon, shot A Better Life. The main character is Carlos Galinda, a
Mexican immigrant who labors as a gardener and is a single parent to teenager Luis. Mexican film star Demian Bichir, who appeared in Showtimes Weeds, plays Carlos, with newcomer Josi Julian as his son. I got the script and I fell in love with it right away, said Bechir. It thought it was real. I thought it was powerful. Carlos works a long day tidying the yards of the citys afuent, crashes on the couch in his tiny East Los Angeles house so that young Luis can have the bed, then gets up and does it again. His goal is to keep his son, whose friends already are being drawn into gang life, on the path toward a diploma and a secure future. When the older Latino man who employs him decides to retire, he talks Carlos into buying his truck and gardening equipment despite Carlos misgivings about the dangers of driving without a license and the threat of ring the sauce, he can do it all.
exposure if something goes wrong. The theft of the truck triggers events that put his freedom and his dreams for his son in jeopardy. A Better Life roams across the whole of Los Angeles, recording the palm trees and impressive homes that often make it into lms and the elements that dont, including tattered neighborhoods and groups of day laborers jockeying for work on street corners. Every effort was made to ensure authenticity and provide a strong, mostly Latino voice among the cast, crew and community advisers, Witt said. Weitz has his own Hispanic connections: His grandmother is Mexican-born actress Lupita Tovar and his wife, Mercedes Martinez, is Cuban- and Mexican-American. We were really motivated to make this accurate and real as possible. We surrounded ourselves with those who knew this story, his three Academy Award nominations for best actor.

Britains Prince William and his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge,on Parliament Hill in Ottawa,Canada.
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown and rst lady Anne Gust Brown plan to greet Prince William and his wife, Kate, when they arrive in Los Angeles next week marking the second time Brown has hosted British royalty as governor. Browns ofce on Friday released his itinerary during the ofcial visit to California by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and plans show the governor and other ofcials will greet the couple during their rst ofcial overseas tour when they arrive at Los Angeles International Airport on July 8. The governor and Anne are delighted that theyve chosen California as their single stop in the United States, said the governors spokeswoman Elizabeth Ashford. The governor will talk about the strength of the relationship with California: tourism, trade and environmentalism, and theres some possibility theyll talk about corgis. The Browns have a 7-year-old Pembroke Welsh corgi named Sutter, known as Californias rst dog. The breed is a small herding dog and has been a favorite of the princes grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. The queen has bred corgis for years. When Brown was Californias governor the rst time in 1977, he hosted Prince Charles, picking him up from the Sacramento Executive Airport in his blue 1974 Plymouth sedan. During that visit, the governors staff served cold roast beef and California cheeses picked up from a local deli. Brown met Prince Charles again in 2005 in Oakland when he was the citys mayor, and later that year at a funeral in England. Prince William and Kate began their North American visit in Canada this week. In California, they are scheduled to attend a reception the evening they arrive that will be hosted by the British consul general, Dame Barbara Hay. The royal couple is scheduled the next day to attend a charity polo match in Santa Barbara, followed by a black-tie dinner to introduce British lm talent to Hollywood executives.

NEW YORK Hot dog eating champion Joey Chestnut estimates he eats about 20,000 calories in one shot at food competitions, but he says his doctor doesnt mind. In the long run Im really not consuming that many more calories than most people, the four-time Nathans Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest champion said Friday at an appearance ahead of the yearly Fourth of July eat-off. I run. I really try to stay healthy. I count my calories rigorously when Im not doing the contests. The San Jose, Calif., resident said that at 27, hes young enough to get away with his competitive binging for a few more years. His doctor checks his blood work and has told him not to worry as long as he gives himself time to recover, doesnt gain weight and doesnt develop diabetes, Chestnut said. Chestnut is 61 and weighs 218 pounds. A physically active man of his age, weight and height should be eating 3,200 calories a day to maintain his weight, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In 2009, the contests reigning champion set a world record when he ate 68 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. Last year, he won with just 54 dogs.

Karol Bo Bobko was one of the NASA space shuttle programs earliest commanders and was recently inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame. He was a pilot on STS-6, the rst ight of space shuttle Challenger, in 1983. Two years later, he commanded Discovery on STS-51D and landed the shuttle safely. Six months later, Bobko commanded Atlantis maiden ight. Its a beloved institution in our community, said parade committee co-chair Cameron Palmer. People come out in droves to get a good viewing spot on Main Street. You can see how much they love its small-town charm and tradition. Its $10 for an individual to enter the parade and $20 for groups of three or more.

Dogs must remain on leash at all times. Fireworks start promptly at 9:30 p.m. A shuttle will not be available this year. Visitors are encouraged to walk or bike to the event. Bring a blanket rather than a tarp. Tarps will not be allowed on the grass as it often kills it. Lastly, its a smoke-free event. Redwood City also has a full day of activities starting with a pancake breakfast at 7:30 a.m. hosted by the Redwood City Fire Department, and held at 755 Marshall St. Its $6 for adults and $4 for kids. Runners can get a jump start on seeing the parade route with a 5K fun run at 8:45 a.m. Registration is $30 on race day. Racers should meet at the corner of Brewster Avenue and Arguello Street. The Redwood City Independence Day Celebration begins at 9 a.m. with the festival, which continues until 5 p.m. jobs lost from January 2008 to February 2010 but only 27 percent of the jobs created since then. Kathleen Terry is one of those who had to settle for less. Before the recession, she spent 16 years working as a mortgage processor in Southern California, earning as much as $6,500 in a good month, a pace of about $78,000 a year. But her employer was buried in the housing crash. She found herself out of work for two and a half years. As her savings dwindled, the single mother had to move into a motel with her three daughters. They got by on welfare and help from their church and friends. Terry started taking a 90-minute bus ride to job training courses. Eventually, she found work as a secretary in the Riverside County, Calif., employment ofce. She likes the job, but earns just $27,000 a year. Its a humbling experience, she says. Hard times have made Americans more dependent than ever on social programs, which accounted for a record 18 percent of personal income in the last three months of 2010 before coming down a bit this year. Almost 45 million Americans are on food stamps, another record. Ordinary Americans are suffering because of the way the economy ran into trouble and how companies responded challenge was condence building but also testing the limits of many of the youngsters fears regarding height. Each new recruit had the chance to climb the 75 foot ladder, go down a zip line from the fourth oor and repel down an elevator shaft, said Mosqueda. By the end of the week, each team must take on a re in the on-site training facility. Along the way, the recruits competed in tests for rewards. On Wednesday, for example, a physical agility test was given in the morning. The winning team got out of cleaning toilets. Before taking on the vertical challenges, children were outtted with harnesses. Around the rehouse, a shimmy became the norm as each kid worked to get the tight safety mechanism up over their yellow outts. Its kind of cool to learn how to save someone, said 13-year-old Lucia Liu. Twelve-year-old Declan, who preferred not to give his last name, was taking the camp for the second time. This year, Declan enjoyed watching the firefighters demonstrate how to use the jaws of life on a car. Hes not yet sure what he wants to do when he grows up, but the camp has influenced

a breathtaking 90 percent rally since bottoming at 6,547 on March 9, 2009. Those stock market gains go disproportionately to the wealthiest 10 percent of Americans, who own more than 80 percent of outstanding stock, according to an analysis by Edward Wolff, an economist at Bard College. But if the Great Recession is long gone from Wall Street and corporate boardrooms, it lingers on Main Street: Unemployment has never been so high 9.1 percent this long after any recession since World War II. At the same point after the previous three recessions, unemployment averaged just 6.8 percent. The average workers hourly wages, after accounting for ination, were 1.6 percent lower in May than a year earlier. Rising gasoline and food prices have devoured any pay raises for most Americans. The jobs that are being created pay less than the ones that vanished in the recession. Higher-paying jobs in the private sector, the ones that pay roughly $19 to $31 an hour, made up 40 percent of the

Bouska is one of 15 South San Francisco youths taking part in the South City Junior Fire Academy this week. The group of kids, ranging from 11 to 14 years old, are able to learn safety tips as well as get experience on how to act in an emergency situation. In its eighth year, the camp started as a way to give back to the community. Interested students signed up through the citys recreation department for the annual oneweek program. For the youth, its a chance to experience life in a rehouse. Kids are broken into three groups. Theres a pecking order. Each has a captain, just like a rehouse. Those in the academy start the week learning about rst aid and re safety. Wednesdays

Although some of your old, negative ways may continue to linger, you should experience a new you in the next year. Of course, it will be up to you to accept change and make the most of whats at hand.
CaNCEr (June 21-July 22) -- Dont ruin the weekend
by letting an issue about which you and your mate disagree dominate your thinking. Dismiss it from your mind and enjoy the holiday. lEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Just because your imagination is running wild doesnt mean everything that pops in your mind is all bad or all good. Evaluate
each idea for what its worth and what you can do with it. VIrGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If youre not on your toes, you could easily get off on the wrong foot with those whom you like the most. Take your foot out of your mouth and replace it with pleasant, heartwarming remarks. lIBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --Dont let your naturalborn talent for diplomacy and tact evade you, especially if some kind of misunderstanding threatens to blow things out of proportion. Stay in character. SCOrPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --Be open-minded and flexible if you find yourself involved in something where the methods or procedures being applied arent what youd normally use. Go along with the gang. SaGIttarIuS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your carefree ways
might be operating at full force, so be careful you dont get too wild or out of hand in ways that could be offensive to others. Put a lid on things. CaPrICOrN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even if your argument is an admirable one, it still might be tough to get others to follow your banner. Dont let frustrations cause you to behave poorly. aQuarIuS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Youve heard it before: If you cant say something nice about another, dont say anything at all. Otherwise, the comments you make could be distorted and wont necessarily reflect your true thinking. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Its up to you: you can either go through the day being depressed and negative about everyone and everything, or get hold of yourself and begin thinking in a positive manner.
agree to hang out with a friend who is down in the mouth, knowing that he or she would do nothing but depress you. Have your excuses ready and go your own way. tauruS (April 20-May 20) -- Be extra careful when around authority figures. Youre not in a mood to be dictated to, and you could easily mouth off at the worst moment possible. Keep your cool at all times. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Get involved in a collective endeavor, especially if the parties involved are free thinkers. You need to be around people who are as forward looking and visionary as you are. Copyright 2011, United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
