City looks at regulating leaf blowers

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Leaf blowers are a common way to clear falling foliage from trees in any neighborhood but Burlingame ofcials are considering banning those powered by gas. Recently, the city of Burlingame conducted an online survey to gauge the publics opinion on possibly banning both gas-powered and electric leaf blowers. Polling the community comes after the Burlingame Citizens Environmental Council recommended the ban to maintain clean air and water while cutting down on air and noise pollution. Results

showed residents were split over a complete ban but showed stronger support for a ban on gas-powered leaf blowers. A measure that would ban the use of gas-powered blowers will go before the City Council tonight. Burlingame does have some regulations for leaf blowers. Current law limits how loud a leaf blower can be and the hours of operation to 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sundays and holidays. As proposed, gas-powered leaf blowers would not be allowed starting Jan. 1, 2012. The hours of use with electric leaf blowers

would remain for weekdays but be barred on weekends. Some exceptions to the hours would apply for work done to maintain city property. The idea dates back to a goal setting session from the council when the suggestion was brought up by the public. As a result, the Burlingame Citizens Environmental Council was created. A 31-page report from the Burlingame Citizens Environmental Council explained gas-powered leaf blowers create large amounts of carbon emissions. All leaf blowers put particulate matter such as mold, pesti-

cides or mercury into the air, according to the report. Noise from leaf blowers can also impact home-based workers, retirees, children and those who work night shifts Gas-powered leaf who blowers may be are banned in Burlingame.

BART website hacked, user data leaked

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Hackers broke into a website for San Franciscos mass transit system Sunday and posted contact information for more than 2,000 subscribers, the latest showdown between anarchists angry at perceived attempts to limit free speech and officials trying to control protests that grow out of social net-

working and have the potential to become violent. Bay Area Rapid Transit ofcials blocked underground cellphone service for a few hours Thursday at several stations as protesters tried to use social networking to organize a demonstration over the recent fatal shooting of a 45-year-old man by police. The decision was criticized by many as heavy handed, and some

People in the news

Ever the activist,Steinem is in a reective mode
NEW YORK Its shocking, I know, says Gloria Steinem, allowing herself a wry grin. And for once, the author, activist and feminist icon isnt talking about a case of gender inequity at home or a human rights violation across the globe. This time, shes talking about her age. Steinem is 77, and most people are even more shocked than she is. Not only because she looks ftyish, but because she is, in the minds of many, frozen in the 1970s a tall, slim, striking woman with long streaked hair (its still streaked, but shorter now) and those big aviator glasses. But four decades have indeed passed since Steinem helped launched the womens movement. And this summer nds her in a reective mode: working on a book about her years on the road a combination of essays and memoir and promoting a new documentary celebrating her life. Gloria: In Her Own Words premieres Monday on HBO. Nestled on a couch in her comfortable Manhattan apartment one recent afternoon, Steinem acknowledges that often such tributes come at the end of ones life and career and she has no intention of either ending anytime soon. But, she says, maybe this isnt such a bad time to look back a little. My hope is, this Gloria Steinem lm will make people think: Its been 30 or 40 years. Where do we want to be 40 years from now? Besides, she adds: I want people to realize that if a very imperfect person did this, maybe they can, too! That self-effacing tone runs through much of what Steinem says she likes to stress, for example, that if she had never come along, the same progress for women would have been achieved anyway. (Steinem was a highly visible spokeswoman for the womens movement, but there were many others who made it happen, too.) Her admirers say theyre not so sure. It would have been like Christmas without Santa Claus she was the goddess of the movement, says Sheila Nevins, coproducer of the new documentary with Peter Kunhardt, who directed. She doesnt take credit, but I give it to her. One of Steinems most important qualities, says Nevins, is that she showed how you could be the bull AND the china shop aggressive AND gentle. She notes that growing up, she was taught to think a girl couldnt be pretty and smart at the same time: Gloria made me realize I could. Steinem, though, makes clear that being branded the beautiful, sexy feminist was a double-edged sword at best. Its a problem we all share, getting identied by your outside looks, she says. The most hurtful part is that you work very hard, and people say its because of your looks. Steinem learned that lesson well before she became an activist with her famous Playboy adventure in the early 60s, where she donned the bunny suit to go undercover for a magazine and expose degrading working conditions at the Playboy Club. She deeply regrets the whole episode. I could not have made a bigger mistake, she says. It was personally and professionally a disaster. In the short term it was much harder to get serious assignments, and in the long term its been used to ridicule me.

In the 1840s,the Hudson Bay Company building dominated the beach along Montgomery Street in San Francisco (looking west from Bay).
San Francisco four years later. He went into business for himself but about 1845 he formed a partnership with Henry Mellus in a twostory building they acquired from the Hudson Bay Company. The building was on Montgomery Street, right on the edge of the Bay a block or so away from W.A. Leidesdorffs warehouse. Leidesdorff Street is named for him. Howard also got a street named after him south of Market Street. His drive rewarded him with wealth and inuence. The two-story building sat right across the street from the Yerba Buena Cove shore where Howard could be the rst to check ships coming into the Bay for available merchandise. It was while he was doing this duty that he met and married 16-year old Agnes Poet. The matter of the Hudson Bay Company (HBC) building is intriguing when researched farther as it is tied up with a great deal of history about the western settlement in the 1820s, 30s and 40s. The HBC was incorporated by British royal charter in 1670 as The Governor and Company of Adventures of England trading into Hudsons Bay. It is the

Exploring the world of performance

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

It was a little red tape recorder that rst thrust Grant Baciocco into the world of entertainment. Growing up in San Bruno and Burlingame, Baciocco was given the recorder as a gift from his parents. It became his rst stage. Since then, hes been exploring the world of performance through any means comedy, music, podcasting and now puppets. Baciocco will be part of the upcoming performance of Stuffed and Unstrung, which opens Grant Baciocco Aug. 18 at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco. The local will take on the challenge of improv while using puppets when he joins the cast from Aug. 25 through Aug. 27. Working with 80 puppets from the Jim Henson Company wasnt Bacioccos goal when he started performing. He simply knew it was fun to use the little red tape recorder. Baciocco, who now lives in Southern California, noted it became a joke that I realized at an early age that I couldnt talk 24 hours a day. [Through the tape recorder], I could give my voice a break and still hear myself.

A weekly look at the people who shape our community Those recorded sessions werent practice for anything necessarily. Baciocco would record different stories, jokes or his mom when he was in trouble. The latter became an inspiration for a comedic song he later wrote which, in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way, tells children its fun to tape record your mom when shes yelling at you and play it back to her friends. His tape recorder allowed him to replay comedy acts and shows, like Weird Al Yankovic or Dr. Demento, without realizing the inuence that may later have. It was music that rst caught Bacioccos eye. He wasnt a musician but had big goals of becoming a rock star for a band called The Killer Shark. Without musical lessons, that seemed unlikely. Ive always loved performing. Its funny because I didnt really do it until I was at

[Burlingame Intermediate School] and got a part in the play, he said, adding it was a small part and almost everyone took drama. During his sophomore year at Burlingame High School, Baciocco truly embraced his love of the stage. A new drama teacher took over and decided to tackle The Real Inspector Hound, a short one-act that follows two theater critics named Moon and Birdboot. Baciocco played Moon. It became a family affair from there. Baciocco noted his mother had long enjoyed musicals and his father often helped build sets. It was no surprise that Baciocco went to California State University at Long Beach to study theater, performing and directing. Baciocco has never balked at the opportunity to perform. While in college, he entertained crowds aboard The Jungle Cruise at Disneyland. He had taught himself to play guitar in college which allowed him to create comedy songs. Now hes often performing comedy. But its not always about auditioned jobs. I really like podcasting and new media and creating stuff for the web. In Hollywood, people are constantly going Will you make my show? and Let me act in your thing. With podcasting, you can do it yourself. The only investment is time, he said. Thats where The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd, a podcast that started in 2004, began.

At its peak, the family-friendly podcast had 85,000 downloads a month. It helped Baciocco get a foot in a the Jim Henson Company. Baciocco pitched the idea of podcasting for the company. One of the people with whom he worked suggested Baciocco be trained to use the puppets. That called for improv training, which he did in 2007. At least once a week I get to go over and play with Jim Henson puppets, he said. Now, as part of the Stuffed and Unstrung cast, he gets to bring that fun to a Bay Area stage. Described by Baciocco as Whose line is it Anyway? with puppets, the show works with audience suggestions. A number of puppets are available for use and audience members get to see both the puppeteers but also what such a scene would look like if it were on television. Those on stage do the setup as if its for a show, in front of a camera which is also projected on stage. The six people arent spread out on stage, but crammed together the way they would be for a television show, giving fun insight into the world of puppetry. Stuffed and Unstrung runs Thursday, Aug. 18 through Saturday, Aug. 26 at the Curran Theatre, 445 Geary St., San Francisco. Tickets range from $30 to $65. For tickets visit https://tickets.shnsf.com.

Redwood City park dedicated to youth coach

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Redwood City is ready to show its gratitude to a beloved youth coach more than a ton of gratitude, to be exact. On Tuesday evening, the city will cement its renaming of 49er Field in

honor of longtime Pop Warner coach Frank Guida with a heavy granite bench inscribed with his name and trademark oppy hat. Guida was rarely without his hat and the back side of the bench will bear an engraving of the infamous topper, said longtime friend and fellow Pop Warner member Steve

Zweig who pushed for the renaming. And if anyone wants to compare the image to the real thing, one of Guidas four grown children will have the actual hat with him at the dedication. The gray granite bench is absolutely beautiful and a great

tribute to Guida, Zweig said. The Redwood City Parks and Recreation Department poured a concrete base for the seating roughly a week ago; the Pop Warner organization funded the bench. Current Pop Warner athletes will cut their practice short Tuesday night to attend the ceremony honor-

ing Guida, Zweig said. Guida is best known as the man who drew scores of Peninsula children into Pop Warner football. Although he did most of his coaching at McGarvey Field, the renaming approved by the City Council in

into the unclaimed northern territory that was later to become Washington, Oregon and California. Competition in the early 1800s began between the westward movement of people from the United States and the westward expansion of Manifest Destiny became challenged. UBC sent trapping brigades south from Vancouver and established posts in this territory. Called the Siskiyou Trail, big risks were encountered and the fur trade began feeling the economic loss from being overextended from their base in Canada. They had built a trading building on Yerba Buena Cove on the Peninsula in this expansion time but, by the 1840s, it became unprofitable. Howard arrived in time to buy this piece of property from HBC and establish a mercantile business that served the 49er Gold Rush. He prospered greatly. The HBC became retailer merchants in Canada and nally relinquished the role of fur trading. It now has four retail divisions: The Bay, Zellers (department stores), Home Outfitters and Fields establishments as well as being into credit card business, mortgages and personal insurance mainly in Canada. It is now owned by a billionaire American. In 2011, U.S.-based Target stores purchased lease agreements for use of up to 220 Zeller stores in Canada and in 2014 plan on opening its rst Target stores in Canada. Howard and Mellus acquired the 6,438-acre Rancho San Mateo and after buying Mellus out, Howard, rich from real estate dealings and a leading civic gure on the Peninsula, retired from his partnership from Henry Mellus around 1850. Howard began construction on his estate of the mansion, El Cerrito, in the San Mateo/Hillsborough area. The family donated land for St. Matthews Episcopal Church in San Mateo and he developed his estate into a prosperous cattle ranch. In 1856, at the age of 37, William died after contacting pneumonia. His brother, George, then married his widowed wife, Agnes, and the Howard/Poett family continued to contribute to the Peninsulas history.
Rediscovering the Peninsula by Darold Fredricks appears in the Monday edition of the Daily Journal.

COACH
Continued from page 5
January is fitting because he began Pop Warner on the Peninsula in 1958 with the Redwood City 49ers. The bench side etched with Guidas hat even faces McGarvey, Zweig said. Guida died of cancer in February 2005 at the age of 85. After his passing, Zweig in particular pushed for the dedication in honor of the man who called every kid a champ and mentored more than 1,000 by some estimates. In 2004, Guida was named the National Pop Warner Volunteer of the year and Frank Guida inducted into the groups National Hall of Fame. His other accomplishments include being Redwood Citys 1993 Outstanding Citizen and the PTA Parent of the year in the 1960s. If you go, the dedication is 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16 on the Myrtle Street side of 49er Field at Red Morton Park.

oldest commercial corporation in North America and encompasses 1.5 million square miles surrounding the Hudson Bay in Canada. Named Ruperts Land, it formed its headquarters on the Hudson Bay at York Factory (Factory is a term relating to the factor that was the head of the fort and acted as a mercantile agent). HBC formed a network of trading posts in this virgin territory and encouraged trappers and traders to collect furs and sell them to the agents at the posts. It exercised a virtual monopoly from Hudson Bay and the surrounding territory. Conflict arose over the British and French and the posts became battle zones for many years, however the HBC prevailed in the long run and prospered. In 1870, the British government overthrew the monopoly of HBC in the Northwest Territory and this opened trade to any entrepreneur. UBC established a fort at Fort Vancouver on the Pacic Coast and began fur trade south

Obama begins political counteroffensive

By Steven R. Hurst
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama launches a political counteroffensive this week, weighed down by a stunted economy, wilting support among some of his most ardent backers, and a daily bashing from the slew of Republicans campaigning for his job. Weve still got a long way to go to get to where we need to be. We didnt get into this mess overnight, and its going to take time to get out of it, the president told the country

over the weekend, all but pleading for people to stick with him. A deeply unsettled political landscape, with voters in a Barack Obama fiercely antiincumbent mood, is framing the 2012 presidential race 15 months before Americans decide whether to give Obama a second term or hand power to the Republicans. Trying to ride out what seems to be an unre-

lenting storm of economic anxiety, people in the United States increasingly are voicing disgust with most all of the men and women, Obama included, they sent to Washington to govern them. With his approval numbers sliding, the Democratic president will try to ease their worries and sustain his resurrected ghting spirit when he sets off Monday on a bus tour of Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois. The trip is timed to dilute the GOP buzz emanating from the Midwest after Republicans gathered in Iowa over the weekend for a rst test of the partys White House candidates.

The state holds the nations rst nominating test in the long road toward choosing Obamas opponent. You have just sent a message that Barack Obama will be a oneterm president, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann told elated supporters minutes after winning Saturdays Iowa straw poll, essentially a fundraising event that also tests a candidates organizational and nancial strength. She spent heavily and traveled throughout the state where she was born, casting herself as the evangelical Christian voice of the deeply conservative

small-government, low-tax tea party wing of the GOP. Bachmann pulled in 4,823 votes, or 29 percent of those cast, edging out Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who drew 4,671 votes, or 28 percent. But while Democrats probably rejoiced that Bachmanns ultraconservative voice gained strength among Republican contenders, the contest to challenge Obama in November 2012 grew even more jumbled. While the voting was under way in Ames, Iowa, Republicans also had to keep an eye on South Carolina, where Texas Gov. Rick Perry made a cleverly timed entrance into the race.

Tim Pawlenty ends Facebook finds smoking gunin lawsuit bid for White House
By Carolyn Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. PAUL, Minn. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty dropped out of the race for the GOP presidential nomination on Sunday, hours after nishing a disappointing third in the Iowa straw poll. I wish it would have been different. But obviously the pathway forward for me doesnt really exist so we are going to end the campaign, Pawlenty said on ABCs This Week from Iowa shortly after dis-

closing his plans in a private conference call with supporters. He had struggled to gain traction in a state he had said he must win and never caught re nationally with a Republican electorate seemingly craving a charismatic, nonestablishment, rabble-rouser to go up against President Barack Obama. Pawlenty tried to turn up the heat on Obama and his GOP rivals. But it often came across unnatural and he never was able to stoke the passions of voters.

BUFFALO, N.Y. Attorneys for Facebook and its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, say theyve found smoking gun evidence on a New York mans computer proving he made up his claim that a contract he signed with Zuckerberg in 2003 makes him part owner of the social network. Facebooks statements, the strongest yet in whats been a testy case, are contained in court lings in advance of legal arguments scheduled for Wednesday. Each side has

accused the other of withholding materials. Facebook attorney Orin Snyder said Paul Ceglia hasnt complied with a judges Mark Zuckerberg order to hand over certain electronic documents and that hes improperly classied others as condential. He does not want the public to know what was discovered on his

computers because it includes smoking-gun documents that conclusively establish that he fabricated the purported contract and that this entire lawsuit is a fraud and a lie, Snyder wrote. Details of the documents are redacted in court lings. Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes declined to comment. Ceglias attorneys, meanwhile, complain the Facebook lawyers havent given them 175 relevant emails from Zuckerbergs old Harvard University account or a court-ordered sampling of his handwriting from 2003.

Even Trusted Publications Can Get the Facts Wrong

By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Always take what you read with a grain of salt! It amazes me that so many articles I see being published in various magazines, tabloids, journals, etc. are implied to be factual and researched but in reality end up being riddled with partial truths, inaccuracies and falsehoods! I always like information that is backed up by provable facts, but am leery of articles that are hastily written and not checked out. Many people assume that all their reading material has been pre-verified by an editor. Accepting these erroneous types of writings as the gospel truth causes confusion among the public and can be potentially harmful! One serious example is the daily flooding of email stories that are passed from reader to reader (weve all received them) and taken by many recipients as factual writings. The majority of these emails, such as perceived parents searching for their missing child; hearsay about the Presidents status as an American citizen; rumors on the latest medical scare or remedy; handy household uses for cola; Bill Gates sharing his fortune with you if you forward that email to 10 friends; in addition to countless other stories are all found to be internet myths or hoaxes. TIP: You can easily check out the validity of every email story you receive by going to www.snopes.com and typing in the subject of any questionable email in the search box. In another example, I was recently given an article to review from Readers Digest called 13 Things the Funeral Director Wont Tell You as part of their series featuring different professions. Being an actual Funeral Director, and knowing the facts, I couldnt believe the inexplicable info I was reading in a supposedly reputable magazine such as Readers Digest. It was obvious to me that the author of the article and the editor of the magazine not only didnt check their alleged facts, but some of the items listed were misleading, incomplete assertions or just plain folklore! Anyone reading this would just assume that all was checked out in advance with experts and professionals before being printedbut in this case it was a listing of partial truths or unexplained hearsay. Since this article appeared (in the June/July 2011 issue) the National Funeral Directors Association among other groups have chastised Readers Digest for their inept reporting. This circumstance makes it difficult for me to fully have faith in Readers Digest and reminds me that fallacies that can show up in otherwise trusted publications. Another situation similar to the above appeared a while back in AARP magazine. I always viewed this publication as having a stellar reputation until I read an article about funeral rip-offs that was also filled with inaccurate statements. In that case AARP was not checking their facts either. The point is that some authors may have part of their facts correct or incorrectbut until you verify your reading material with a professional you should take what you read with some good humor and a grain of salt.

Patients Achieve up to 100% Relief from Chronic Lower Back and Neck Pain Without Drugs or Surgery
F
or millions of people who suffer from chronic lower back pain, Spinal Decompression Therapy frequently offers far more effective treatment than less conservative therapies. Many patients find that Spinal Decompression Therapy provides both immediate and longterm relief. It is a noninvasive therapy that achieves results without surgery, injections, or medications. It can provide relief for herniated discs, degenerative discs, sciatica, general lower back pain, and even failed back surgery. I liked the idea that Spinal Decompression Therapy wasnt invasive, said Paul Pratt, a firefighter for over 30 years. I liked the idea that there were no pharmaceuticals involved and that there was no cutting involved. I was very optimistic, and was thinking that this might work for me. Weeks into his treatment, Pratt began to experience a dramatic change for the better. It just got better and better, he said. I think in my third week of therapy I felt like something had moved. The pain from the sciatica had started to go away. I was getting sensation back. By the end of his therapy, Pratt says he was completely free of pain. His life was back to normal. many smaller nerves to the thigh, knee, calf, ankle, foot, and toes. Spinal discs are sometimes compared to jelly doughnuts. If too much pressure is put on one, the jelly can squirt out. In the human anatomy, this condition is known as a herniated disc. When compressed, the space between vertebrae is reduced, allowing bones to touch nerves. makes the decompression treatment much more effective and comfortable, since the patients body is not fighting against the pull of a machine. A Comfortable Procedure Many patients are a little apprehensive the first time they come in and get on the machine, Dr. Crespo said. However, once they get on it, they all react the same way. There is an immediate sense of relief once the machine starts pulling. They look at you and say My pains gone. After that, its just a matter of them getting comfortable with it. After awhile, a majority will even sleep through the procedure. Heres what one patient says. After the treatment, I really miss coming back and being treated, because I felt like I was at a spa, said Lisa Morrison, who had suffered four herniated discs. The treatment was very comfortable and very relaxing. At the end of some of the treatments, I felt like I had been through a good workout. Like I had gone to the gym and worked out. Enjoying an Active Life Even after patients have been through spine surgery, Spinal Decompression Therapy may still offer relief. To her friends, just seeing Angie Horton waterskiing again is nothing short of a medical miracle. That is because just a few years ago she was recuperating from her third spine surgery and living in constant pain. I really felt that I had two options, she said. It was either a wheelchair or death. I literally felt I was going to end up being a crippled person. I was headed in that direction. Im very glad I did not go under a fourth spinal surgery. While recovering from her third surgery, Horton read an article that introduced her to the science of Spinal Decompression Therapy. I have always said that I dont use the word miracle, she said. I think someone above gets that word. But I would honestly say that this is as close to that word as youll ever get. Within hours of her first treatment, Horton noted that she started to feel relief. And by the end of her sixth week of Spinal Decompression Therapy, she was completely free of pain. Now that she is able to play with her grandchildren and live an active lifestyle, she wonders why her surgeon and other medical experts didnt tell her about this therapy sooner. I actually got to a point where I became angry, she said. And I went through a couple weeks of anger simply because I felt that other people in the medical field should have been obligated to give me this information. Im not against surgery. Im not against all the other things like epidurals, but I feel that they should not be on the forefront. They should be on the backburner. These spinal decompression machines should be the first thing. Once you have a proper diagnosis with an MRI, and if you are a candidate, this should be the very first thing to do. Paul Pratt the firefighter shares much the same feeling. In my mind, Spinal Decompression is what you need to look at first, he says. Ive heard too many stories of surgeries that didnt work, and those people wish they had never had it done. Because, in some cases, they are worse off than they were before. Spinal decompression has got to be your first option. I was not able to work at all for two months, he said. There was nothing I could do. I would go back to work on a light duty position But even on light duty, sitting in a chair doing menial work, after about two days it would cripple me up again to where I couldnt even do that. Along with the physical pain, there was emotional stress. He could no longer enjoy time with his grandchildren and felt all the hopes and dreams for his retirement years were in jeopardy. By the end of his therapy, however, Pratt says he was completely pain free. And a year after his therapy, he is still completely pain free, again doing what he loves. Now hes the captain of his fire department and is enthusiastically planning for retirement. It brought my life back, he added, all the things I was doing before. Playing with the grandchildren, playing with my children. I got to do things with them. Lifting them, rolling around with them, playing with them. All those things came back without limitations.

Patients get to lie back and relax while spinal pressures reach negative levels. Now the natural repair mechanism in the body has a chance to really do its work.

Understanding Back and Leg Pain Pain in the back and lower legs can result when spinal bones rub, irritate, pinch, or choke delicate nerves. This can also impair the function of the tissues, organs, and systems controlled by these nerves. The lower back comprises parts of three basic types. Bones, called vertebrae, are an essential part of the skeletal framework. Discs are the cartilage that cushions or pads and separates the space between the vertebrae. And the spine carries nerves that control muscles, organs, and other essential body functions. Among these, the sciatic nerves are the largest and longest in the body. They exit the spinal cord from the lower spinal column, travel down each leg, and divide into

How Spinal Decompression Therapy Works As its name implies, Spinal Decompression Therapy creates a negative pressure on discs in specific areas, so the cartilage or jelly can realign and return to its proper place. In other words, this vacuum effect draws the herniated material back into the disc, along with water and other nutrients and thus aids healing within the disc. While many people think that any pulling of the spine is traction, there is a substantial difference between old fashioned traction and Spinal Decompression Therapy. The big difference is that with traction, as we have known it for years, it is just a general load pulling the entire spine, said Dr. Luis Crespo, M.D., President National Spine Centers and a member of the National Academy of Pain Management. Traditional, old-style traction does not differentiate between the different levels of the discs. Now, by using motorized spinal decompression, we are able to change the angle of the pull and target specifically any disc that is affected. By doing this, we get much better results than you get with just standard traction. The advanced technology of Spinal Decompression systems allow healthcare professionals to adjust the amount of traction according to the reaction of the patients body. When old fashioned traction is used, the patients body may sense tension as it is being pulled and react by going into spasm. In contrast, the latest Spinal Decompression systems counter this spasm reaction by cycling through a series of pulling and relaxing as the treatment is being administered. This

A threat to Californias small businesses

By Lawrence Ives

In good economic times and bad, there is one constant in America: small businesses are always in the forefront of economic activity, whether fueling a robust cycle or serving as a catalyst for economic recovery. Any action that has the potential to diminish or weaken small businesses should be met with real concern, if not alarm. Consider that in California, there are approximately 3.4 million small businesses employing nearly 7.2 million workers. That is why our small businesses, and those across the country, should be reaching for the alarm bell in light of a piece of legislation moving through Congress. The issue is House Bill H.R. 1425, Creating Jobs Through Small Business Innovation Act of 2011. It should be considered a direct threat to small businesses because, if passed, it would make fundamental and harmful changes to the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program. Congress established SBIR in 1982. It has been widely recognized as one of the most successful federal programs funding research and development for small technological businesses. Of the $2.2 billion allocated annually by the SBIR Program, nearly $1.2 billion is allotted to the Department of Defense, which then awards the money to small businesses based on the proven viability of their technologies. The DoD relies on this local innovation from small businesses across the country to keep the U.S. military forces safe and the best equipped to ght terrorism and protect national security. With its own SBIR program, the National Institutes

of Health fund innovation in biotechnology, biomedical engineering and clinical applications. SBIR programs at the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, NASA and the EPA fund innovation to meet their mission requirements. With these contracts, small businesses can create cutting-edge technologiesand jobs. More than 80,000 patents have been delivered by SBIR rms, which employ 1.5 million people. If the contracts are like plasma to these companies, one could say H.R. 1425 would cut off the blood ow. Heres why: It would eliminate the current twophase application system. The SBIR program is currently broken down into two main phases. Phase one is set up to fund proposed research and experiments. During this phase, rms must prove that a concept is viable, not wasteful or fraudulent. Phase two is set up to award larger sums of money to those projects that have proven viability and are further along in the development stage. The proposed legislation will allow businesses to arbitrarily bypass phase one, thereby allowing many businesses without sound technology and innovation to skip directly to the second phase, incurring severe waste. It would subsidize multi-billion dollar Private Equity and Hedge Fund rms, allowing them to participate at the expense of Main Street inventors, dampening the prospects of many small businesses competing for contracts. Companies backed by millions of

investment dollars could decimate small start-ups with limited access to capital. Nearly half of all NIH SBIR funds could go to large, deep-pocketed companies. The application process would no longer be on an equal playing eld. With the number of small business applications already at an all-time high and the percentage receiving funding at an all-time low, small Main Street business contracts will be shifted away from true small company entrepreneurs to giant Wall Street corporations. It would move the SBIR program away from being a merit-based, competitive program awarding the small businesses with the best technology. A key section of HR 1425 would punish the most successful small businesses, and would force agencies to pick the 2nd or 3rd best technology in some cases simply because the best technology was developed by a company with too many awards. The program would be extended only three years, to 2014. This is simply too short an extension period for proper evaluation of the programs progress. Just as small businesses play a vital role on the economic side in America, so, too, can they exert considerable inuence in this matter by picking up the phone and telling their representatives in Congress: Vote to amend House Bill HR 1425 and pass a responsible, pro-small business bill, one that helps small businesses instead of one that subsidizes VCs and Investment Bankers.

Going to birds
he action in the Peninsula Y indoor pool last week was not caused by lap swimmers but by a bird who was frantically trying to nd a way out. The little bird was ying back and forth but always above two open doors. Swimmers suggested that a bright color might direct the bird to the exits. Lifeguards took their red belts off and placed them by the door. To no avail. The bird ew back and forth, stopping to rest on one of the high beams but not for long. The bird was still circling when I left after an hours swim. Could he not sense the way out, was he oblivious, or just plain stupid? The birds plight reminded me of those congressional members who are unable to see the light. The main crisis facing our country today is the lack of growth and jobs. People are frustrated because they see our country of wealth, resources and talent falling behind. They see a dysfunctional political system in which we have too many stubborn birds ying around in circles. You dont have to be a rocket scientist to know where the open door is. All you need to do is reect on recent history. The United States pulled itself out of the Great Depression primarily by creating jobs. We see the results of that work all over our country today in dams, bridges, parks, post ofces, etc. In San Mateo, the downtown post ofce has a mural courtesy of the Works Progress Administration. In our national parks, many of the trails and bridges were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. These were jobs created by the government to put people back to work. And Republicans balked (including my dad) but the economy improved. By 1937, because of the balking, the government cut back on job creation. The result was another mini depression. It took World War II to nally get the United States back on track. Most economists say that at times of slow growth the government needs to invest. Much of the unemployment today is the result of government cutbacks at local, state and federal levels. And Standard & Poors has lowered our credit rating because many Republicans refuse to consider revenue to reduce the decit. Its a vicious circle. Spending cuts mean cutting jobs. Fewer jobs mean people are buying less. Companies, even those whose prots have soared, are not hiring because consumer demand is down. When people are out of work it adds to the drain on government. It leads to less tax revenue. It adds to the decit problem. Does the general public understand this? Maybe they do according to recent polls which show a majority in all parties favor creating jobs over cutting spending. But taxes are still a dirty word. For most Americans who are either salaried or hourly employees, they feel the bite on their paycheck. When they ll out their income tax they usually take the standard deductions. Perhaps they dont understand that for Americans whose main income is from investments, there are opportunities galore to evade or reduce taxes. Stores which cater to the rich are doing fabulously. The spread between the super rich and the average American is getting bigger every year (Are we becoming like Egypt?). And unlike the Great Depression where the pain was spread across the board, the pain this time around has been inicted on middle- and low-income Americans. The people who caused the pain are doing just ne. And it seems as if they have a majority in Congress looking out for them. As for the pool bird, it needed a helping hand. A Y staff member had to catch and carry him outside. *** A new committee made up of an equal number of Democrats and Republicans from both the Senate and the House is supposed to recommend decit reduction measures by November. If not, there will be across-the-board cuts without any public or congressional input. Health care and military lobbyists are concerned. Meanwhile, all Republicans on the new committee have signed the infamous pledge. That sounds as if we can look forward to those across-the-board cuts. Instead, why dont we require that all members of the committee be required to sign a pledge that nothing is off the table. And while they are at it, maybe a pledge of allegiance to the entire country and not just those at the top. *** On a happier note, it was a thrill to see a local boy, J.P. Viernes, from Half Moon Bay, cast as Billy Elliott. The award-winning musical is in its nal run in San Francisco. Five boys take turns as the challenging lead which demands ballet, tap, acrobatic, singing and acting skills. J.P., who is on the national tour of Billy Elliott, received several well deserved standing ovations.

An issue with the salt pond development
Editor, In the rush to build a mixed-use development on Cargills former salt ponds, even though it will require levees (not included) to keep the Bay out before todays kids are grandparents, another watery issue has been overlooked. There is no viable source of drinking water for this development. Nearby ground water is too close to former dump sites and other sources of pollution. A suggestion to import water from Southern California has been firmly rejected by the agency involved. Maybe the entire development is expected to subsist on bottled water. That would make as much environmental sense as the selection of the site itself. district attorney that most citizens dont. This case would be a perfect example for a Citizens Oversight Panel to review. The reason I suggest this is the last paragraph of the article: The Hillsborough Police Department placed Fritzsching on leave pending the outcome of his case. He no longer works for the department, said Capt. Mark OConnor. It looks like the police department has a higher standard than our district attorney.

Markets face volatile week

By Tom Krisher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT A little good news could bring some stability back to Wall Street this week as investors look for bargains amid chaos. Then again, bad news could lead to continued volatility. It all depends on the news of the day. The Dow Jones industrial average swung more than 400 points four days in a row last week, and jittery investors are looking to economic data for clues about where its headed next. Coming up this week are a raft of earnings from retailers, statistics on housing starts, jobless claims and industrial production, and a meeting between German and French leaders on worries about European government debt. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Target Corp., report earnings on Tuesday and Wednesday and could provide a healing balm to investors. The retail chain results will be a key indicator because the stock market has frightened consumers and their spending is essential for the economy to recover, said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist with Janney Montgomery Scott in Philadelphia.

(Those results) will be telling as to whether the consumer is in a position to help power the economy forward, he said. The recent sharp decline in the market means there are bargains to be had. Since the markets highs of April 29, the Dow is down 12 percent. The Standard & Poors 500 index has fallen 9 percent since Aug. 1, mostly on worries about the U.S. economy and debt crisis in Europe. Market pros likely will be hunting for bargains on Monday, especially in stocks that pay relatively high dividends since the Federal Reserve has said interest rates will stay low for the next two years, Luschini said. Frank Pare, a nancial planner with P.F. Wealth Management Group in Oakland, Calif., is telling his clients to hang on. Their portfolios are diversied between equities and xed income investments, but they should still be ready for more volatility, he said. Pare is also advising them not to follow the movements hour by hour. The rst thing to do is turn off your television, he said. If youre an investor, you really dont want to get caught up in the day-to-day because it will drive you crazy.

Even so, nancial analysts say these are some of next weeks most critical reports: Wal-Marts second-quarter report will give investors a look at consumer spending. Its sales from stores open at least a year, the standard for measuring a retailers strength, have fallen for eight straight quarters in the U.S. Analysts have said the declines resulted in part from mistakes it made in pricing and merchandising. Sales also have faltered because the main customers of Walmart stores are continuing to limit their spending and shift to online rivals or dollar stores, which offer convenience and good bargains. The housing market got some good news in June: Single-family home construction rose 9.4 percent. It was the biggest increase since June 2009, when the recession ofcially ended. But analysts said the pace of 453,000 homes per year was still too depressed to signal a turnaround in the market. The July number isnt expected to be as high, but economists say it will show the building industry is improving. Investors will get a reading on Spains economic health on Tuesday. Europes fourth-largest economy grew at an annual rate of 0.3 percent in the rst quarter.

Sales of gold up on eBay

By Rachel Metz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO For gold sellers on eBay, the recent stock market turmoil has been a boon for business. Gold and silver sales on eBay had already been rising steadily over the past several years so much so that eBay Inc. created a special area in May to make it easier for buyers to nd sellers. Now, activity on that part of the site, the Bullion Center, is intensifying as consumers unnerved by the economic uncertainty ock to gold in hopes it will be a stable investment. When people are coming down to the question, Do they want to have cash in

the bank or gold in their hands? the answer is theyd rather have gold or silver, said Jacob Chandler, CEO of Great Southern Coins, the largest seller of precious metals on eBay. The stock market just ended one of its most volatile weeks in years, prompted in part by a downgrade in the nations credit rating and fears of another recession. The Dow Jones industrial average fell nearly 6 percent on Monday, its worst one-day drop since December 2008. Then the index rose Tuesday, fell Wednesday and rose Thursday and Friday to end the week 2 percent lower than a week ago. Through most of last week, the aver-

age selling price increased for gold bullion bars or coins stamped with their weight and level of purity. According to the most recent data available from eBay, sales of 1-ounce gold American Eagle coins and 1-ounce gold Pamp Suisse bars rose steadily from Aug. 5 to Wednesday, before dipping slightly on Thursday. On Aug. 5, when Standard & Poors lowered the nations credit rating, American Eagle coins were selling for an average of $1,800 among eBays featured sellers. The average price of the coins, produced by the U.S. Mint, rose more than 8 percent to $1,952 on Wednesday, before dropping to $1,915 on Thursday.

Doomsdaydefense cuts loom large for select 12

By Donna Cassata
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON For the dozen lawmakers tasked with producing a deficit-cutting plan, the threatened doomsday defense cuts hit close to home. The six Republicans and six Democrats represent states where the biggest military contractors Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics Corp., Raytheon Co. and Boeing Co. build missiles, aircraft, jet ghters and tanks while employing tens of thousands of workers. The potential for $500 billion more in defense cuts could force the Pentagon to cancel or scale back multibillion-dollar weapons programs. That could translate into signicant layoffs in a fragile economy, generate millions less in tax revenues for local governments and upend lucrative company contracts with foreign nations. The cuts could hammer Everett, Wash., where some of the 30,000 Boeing employees are working on giant airborne refueling tankers for the Air Force, or Amarillo, Texas, where 1,100 Bell Helicopter Textron workers assemble the fuselage, wings, engines and transmissions for the V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft. Billions in defense cuts would be a blow to the hundreds working on upgrades to the Abrams tank for General Dynamics in Lima, Ohio, or the employees of BAE Systems in Pennsylvania. For committee members such as Sens. Patty Murray, D-Wash., Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., the threat of Pentagon cuts is an incentive to come up with $1.5 trillion in savings over a decade.

All-stars have full plate in Japan

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The San Mateo Sister City Goodwill All-Star team salutes a team from Toyonaka as part of the pre-game ceremonies between the clubs. San Mateo is on a six-game cultural exchange trip to Japan where they are playing baseball while taking in the Japanese culture.

The San Mateo Little League Sister City Goodwill All-Star team is well into their trip to Toyonaka. And the hometown boys appear to be representing the city well. On Thursday, the boys boarded busses to the Toyonaka Recreation Center where they were greeted by their host families and two-by-two the team was split into 11 different pairs. Theyll be staying with their host families for the duration of the trip. The following day, the team reconvened at Toyonakas City Hall where they met the mayor of the city and were treated to a lesson in traditional Japanese dance and a tea ceremony.

San Mateo Sister City took the eld right after and suffered an 11-0 loss to the Toyonaka West team at Rose Stadium. Jordan Pluchar took the mound and threw three innings. Matt Averill followed Pluchar on the hill and threw an inning. Neither pitcher had the benefit of good defense as San Mateo committed seven errors in the loss. San Mateo only managed four singles in the game. There would be no offensive slumber in game two of their Japanese series as the Sister City bats awakened in game one of a Saturday double header. San Mateo opened the ood gates in the fourth inning of their 10-4 victory over the Toyonaka East/North All-Star Team. With one out in the frame and

Sister City down 4-3, Nicholas Novello reached on an error by the pitcher. Tyler Lyons followed with solid contact to the third baseman, who attempted to get Novello out at second. The throw sailed into right eld, allowing both Novello and Lyons to come around to score and giving San Mateo a 5-4 lead. Henry Kazan followed with a base knock and scored when Kyle Mejasich hit the rst of two inside the park home runs. With San Mateo leading 7-4 and still only one out, Pluchar kept the hit-fest going with a single. Matt Fitzgerald followed with a walk, giving San Mateo runners at rst and second. RJ Babiera cleared the bases shortly after when he hit an

Ryan Vogelsong strong in Giants win over Marlins

MIAMI Dressing at his locker, Ryan Vogelsong showed a clubhouse visitor the big red welt on his upper left arm, a souvenir earned en route to his career-best 10th victory. Vogelsong gave up a rst-inning homer and took a pitch in the biceps batting in the seventh Sunday, but that was the only signicant damage inicted on the right-hander, who helped the San Francisco Giants to a 5-2 victory over the slumping Florida Marlins. Vogelsong (10-2), a journeyman who blossomed this year into an AllStar, beneted from four homers by his teammates. He retired 17 in a row during one stretch to nally reach the double-digit victory mile-

Bradley wins PGA

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. In a major with names hard to remember, Keegan Bradley delivered a comeback difcult to forget. Five shots behind with three holes to play in the PGA Championship, Bradley made back-to-back birdies to begin his rally. Equally stunning was the collapse from Jason Dufner, who was flawless on the home stretch until Sunday, when he made three straight bogeys with the Wanamaker Trophy on the line.

Bradley won a three-hole playoff, making him only the third player in at least 100 years to win a major in his rst try. He also became the rst player to win a major with a long putter a belly putter and it proved to be the most important club in his bag. Bradley rattled in a 35-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole in regulation to keep alive his chances, then showed the perfect touch with a two-putt across the 18th green for a par to close out a 2-under 68. Dufner, now winless in 148 starts on the PGA Tour, stooped over on

the 18th fairway in the playoff before hitting his nal shot, knowing that he had thrown away his best chance at nally winning in a major, no less. And so ended the nal major of the year a guy in a red shirt pumping his sts along the back nine of Atlanta Athletic Club, providing excitement that the PGA Championship had been missing until the nal hour. Until then, this major had been remembered for Tiger Woods miss-

OAKLAND Ron Washingtons reigning AL champions are on quite a roll, nding ways to win the tough ones and the strange ones exactly when they want to be playing their best. They held on through all kinds of interesting circumstances Sunday. David Murphy hit a tiebreaking RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning, and Texas survived after blowing a six-run lead to beat the Oakland Athletics 7-6 and complete a three-game series sweep. Mike Adams (1-1) pitched a 1-2-3 eighth for the victory, then Neftali Feliz nished for his 23rd save in 29 chances as the Rangers won their fourth straight road game heading

into a key four-game series with the Angels in Anaheim. Were excited about it, slugger Josh Hamilton said of his teams recent run of success. I dont want to say it relaxes us, but it makes us want to get after it more and send a message. A month and a half to go, all the rest of the series with them are very important. Mitch Moreland hit a sacrice y, Michael Young and Mike Napoli each drew bases-loaded walks against former Ranger Rich Harden and rst-place Texas extended its winning streak in the rivalry to eight games. The Rangers (69-52) also moved a season-best 17 games over .500. Andrew Bailey (0-3) issued a one-

his glove and brought home Oaklands rst two runs. The game had a little bit of everything: an Oakland comeback that fell short, a hit batter and wild pitch that scored Texas initial run, the two defensive mistakes and a balk. Rangers starter Matt Harrison even turned his attention for a brief moment to the folkloric dancers who performed on Fiesta Day right behind home plate as he warmed up in the middle of the sixth. Harrisons concern was hitting someone if the ball got past his catcher. You dont see that every day, Washington said. It sort of distracted Harrison not because he couldnt get in rhythm but because he didnt want to let one get away. That had nothing to do with how the sixth inning unfolded. They swung the bats. Harrison was done that inning. He allowed Scott Sizemores leadoff double, an RBI single to Kurt Suzuki one out later and then Brandon Allens RBI double. No. 9 hitter Cliff Pennington walked and Washington turned to Oliver. Late lineup addition and newcomer Allen provided the highlights for Oakland, which lost its third straight on the heels of a 4-2 road trip. scoring both Rodrick and Kai Martin, who was running for Vanisi, and bringing San Mateo to within one run. But the rally would end there and San Mateo would pick up with second loss in the six-game exchange. On Sunday, it was back to the diamond for another pair of games, and once again the boys from San Mateo earned a split. In game one, San Mateo fell for the second time to the team from Toyonaka South nal score was 6-3. Toyonaka jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the opening frame and followed that up with another three in the third. San Mateo did their best to trim the decit. With one out in the bottom of the second, Rodrick singled up the middle to drive in Dakota Severson, who reached earlier in the inning on a elders choice. San Mateo plated two more runs in the fth.

Nate Schierholtz started a new streak with a solo homer in the fourth. Brandon Belt, recalled Saturday from Triple-A for the third time this year, hit solo homers in the sixth and eighth. The home run total tied a season high for the Giants, who rank next to last in the majors in runs. They took the series after losing their past four series.

Hunter-Reay wins rain-shortened IndyCar race

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOUDON, N.H. Ryan HunterReay heard the urgent call on his radio. Theyre wrecking behind you! his pit crew warned him as a light rain fell. Theyre wrecking behind you. That collision with just 10 laps to go made a mess of the nish of the rst IndyCar race at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway since 1998 and made a winner of Hunter-Reay. The crash occurred seconds after a decision to resume the race on a wet track that angered drivers. Will Power even ashed an obscene gesture at

Ryan HunterReay

race ofcials after being involved in the wreck. That brought out the caution ag and, a short time later, the race was declared over 10 miles short of its scheduled 225mile distance on

the mile oval. Brian Barnhart, IndyCars vice president of competition, said he made the wrong decision. It was no condition to race in. Shame on him, Power said. We

worked so hard for that all day. Im ashamed of myself for losing it. I have to say I was as angry as Ive ever been when I got out of the car. Barnhart said he hadnt considered whether to penalize Power. The trouble began when Danica Patrick spun sideways, causing a chain reaction that involved Power and Takuma Sato, who had been involved in a collision midway through the race that knocked out series points leader Dario Franchitti. That was denitely my mistake, said Patrick, who felt the nal restart was wrong. I got on the throttle and (the car) came around. I take full responsibility for that one and the

mess that it created. ... Im one to nish races and be smart and get through it all, but it was pretty slippery out there. Michael Andretti owner of Andretti Autosports, which has Hunter-Reay and Patrick was livid. This is the worst ofciating Ive ever seen, he said. Others felt the same. It was really wet out there and we shouldnt have gone out, said runnerup Oriol Servia. Barnhart said he received input from his group of spotters and ofcials but said it was a difcult decision because the rain was very light.

But he knew immediately after making it that it was the wrong one. As soon as you had the guys stand on the gas out there, you saw right away it was the wrong decision, he said. At that point in time, youre just kind of sick to your stomach and realize it was an error on race controls standpoint and, clearly, my fault. At least one person tried to view the nish in a positive way, even the shot captured by a television camera of Power raising two middle ngers toward ofcials. Id like to put it on our ticket brochure for next year, said track general manager Jerry Gappens, hoping to build interest in the event.

NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen postponed

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. Marcos Ambrose should be on pins and needles. He says hes not. No, not at all, Ambrose said Sunday after NASCAR postponed the Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International because of rain. It keeps me relaxed. You cant ght the weather, so I just worry about stuff you can control. Ive got the kids here with me, so Im going to play with them a little bit and chill out. Steady rain that began just when the race was scheduled to start at 1

p.m. and did not abate in time for track crews to dry the 2.45-mile racing surface. They did give it a shot with jet driers that got the front straightaway nearly race-ready, but a second front moved in, forcing the postponement. The race is now scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Monday, but rain also is in the forecast in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. We really feel like we have a window, Watkins Glen International president Michael Printup said. Ill keep my ngers crossed. NASCAR spokeswoman Kristi

King said the race would be staged Tuesday if necessary. The 2009 Watkins Glen Cup race won by Tony Stewart also was postponed a day after the track was hit by a string of thunderstorms. If there is a a long delay here, it might change Ambroses outlook, which wasnt good when he arrived on Friday. Although he had won the past three Nationwide races at the storied road course, the affable Australian was unable to land a ride this year and wasnt happy about it. On Saturday morning, there was a denite mood swing in the pits of the No. 9 Ford Ambrose drives for

Richard Petty Motorsports. He had the provisional pole until teammate AJ Allmendinger and then Kyle Busch bested his time as all three shattered Jeff Gordons track record. Ambrose will start third behind Busch, who won the pole at 126.421 mph, and Allmendinger, and Ambrose is a big favorite to get the rst Cup victory of his career. Im looking forward to it, Ambrose said. Were a contender, no doubt. In three Cup starts at The Glen, Ambrose has notched one second and two thirds, including an impres-

sive drive from last to third in 2008. He dogged last years winner, Juan Pablo Montoya, nearly the entire 90 laps of the race before fading late to third. That came six weeks after a huge mistake cost Ambrose that breakthrough win. On the road course at Sonoma and trying to conserve fuel with six laps to go, he stalled his car going uphill while leading under caution, was forced to relinquish the lead because he didnt keep pace with the eld, and nished sixth as five-time Cup champ Jimmie Johnson drove to the rst road win of his career.

Giants brief
Barry Zito sprains ankle during rehab start
MIAMI San Francisco Giants left-hander Barry Zito sprained his right ankle during a rehabilitation start for Triple-A Fresno and will be sidelined indenitely. Zito was already on the disabled list with a sprained right foot that has hampered him Barry Zito since April. The latest injury occurred on a elding play Saturday night, and he was helped off the eld by trainers. I saw a picture of the ankle, and its pretty bad, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday. Its really swollen. It looks like theres a baseball in there, so this looks like its going to be quite awhile. Zito is 3-4 in nine starts for the Giants this season with an ERA of 5.62. even a trace of emotion, winced slightly when he saw the ight of his tee shot. It found the pond to the right of the green, yet he poured in a 12-foot putt to at least escape with bogey. His lead was still four shots, and when he split the middle of the 16th fairway, he seemed to be on his way. Then came an unlikely chain of events. Bradley stuffed his shot into 8 feet for birdie on the 16th. Behind him in the nal group, Dufner hit into the right bunker, blasted out to 10 feet and made bogey. Now his lead was down to two shots.

TORONTO Eight weeks into her comeback, Serena Williams not only believes she can be as good as she once was. She can be better. The 29-year-old American star made a pretty good point by capturing the Rogers Cup in commanding fashion Sunday, dispatching 10thseed Samantha Stosur of Australia 6-4, 6-2 for her rst Canadian crown since 2001. The victory was just the latest step in a remarkable comeback from injury and illness that has seen her win two of the four tournaments shes played since being sidelined for 49 weeks. Being down the way Ive been down and coming back, it was cool. Eight months ago if there was only one tournament I wanted to win, it was Toronto, Williams said. For whatever reason, I really wanted to win this event. So seeing it come true is really cool. Just going sudden-death playoff, again after the leaders had faded on the closing holes. This makes seven straight majors won by players who had never before captured a Grand Slam event, the longest streak in history. Hes got a good pedigree with Pat Bradley in the family, Dufner said. Im sure hes picked up a few things from her about winning, attitude and golf in general. Hes probably got a pretty strong future out here. Bradley now moves to No. 29 in the world, and ends the longest American drought in the majors at

through so much and being able to win is even more amazing. Williams, who has 38 titles to her name including 13 Grand Serena Slams, was Williams sidelined just days after her Wimbledon victory last summer, rst with a foot injury sustained when she stepped on a piece of glass in a restaurant in Germany, and then with blood clots in her lungs. The American, who won the Stanford Classic two weeks ago, has talked since her return about a change in philosophy, focusing on just having fun. But she was all business Sunday in front of a nearly full Rexall Centre crowd. The mighty Williams, wearing the emerald green shirt and black skirt six tournaments. Phil Mickelson had been the last American at the 2010 Masters, and perhaps thats only tting. Mickelson has been playing money games during practice rounds at the big tournaments with Bradley, wanting him to be prepared to play for something more prestigious than cash. The kid must have taken the lessons to heart. He never gave up when he had every reason to do just that. Bradley was two shots behind when he arrived at the pivotal stretch of the course. From left of the 15th green, he hit an aggressive

shed been sporting all week, had Stosur on her heels throughout the match with her powerful strokes. She broke the 27-year-old Aussie to go up 5-4 in the opening set with a blistering backhand, and would break her twice more in the second in the 1-hour, 17-minute match, winning in emphatic fashion with her ninth ace. Williams was asked if she ever had any doubt during her long layoff about whether she would be able to return to tennis. Never. Never once. No, she answered. She said shes looked to Kim Clijsters for inspiration. The Belgian retired to have a baby, then returned two years later to win the U.S. Open in her third tournament back. Kim did something really amazing, Williams said. I just hope I can do half as good as she did. She won the Open two years in a row now. Im hoping to get close to there, that title. chip that came out too hot and rolled into the water, leading to a triple bogey. That put him ve shots behind with three to play. Dufner watched it all unfold from high on the hill as he waited on the 15th tee, his lead suddenly up to four shots over Anders Hansen, who was in the process of making bogey. Dufner, so unappable all day, had played the ferocious four-hole closing stretch in a combined 3 under for the rst three days without every making bogey. This was different. This was Sunday.

Outside Lands has the winning formula

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

For all its awesomeness, there aren't many things San Francisco that can honestly say they embody the complete spirit of this place. Sure, certain events, festivals, days of the year, get bits and pieces right here and there. But those complete events, festivals or days are rare entities. And that isn't a knock on these things because the San Francisco Bay Area as a whole is so rich, thick and diverse that the recipe is a hard one to master. But that is where Outside Lands version 2011 is a winner. Now ofcially four years old, the music, food, art and wine extravaganza has gured it out - it being that a music festival isn't necessarily made awesome by the artists it books, but by whether or not you can book the home-spirit of the place you are borrowing for a couple of days. Accomplishing such a feat was Outside Lands' biggest success. Not that the music wasn't great or important, because it most denitely was and is - but you had to expect that much going in. The headliners all lived up to their billing: Phish's double-set on Friday was epic, Muse was better than advertised on Saturday and Arcade Fire's stock couldn't be any hotter right now. Then you had your can't miss acts, like The Black Keys, MGMT and John Fogerty who added a sense of absolute credibility to the three-day festival. Of the acts in this category, none were more impressive than Erykah Badu on Friday at

the Sutro Stage. Badu had the task of not only putting on a dynamic, soulful and profound set, but she also was the one tagged (albeit involuntarily and unintentionally) with rescuing the festival from the gigantic fail that was Big Boi, who failed to perform because of equipment failure, much to the chagrin of the crowd. Mission accomplished. The set of the festival belonged to The Roots, the hip-hop band from Philadelphia. Honestly, is there anyone hipper, fresher and for lack of a better word, sicker than The Roots? All the rumors about how fantastic they are live are true. And if you still don't believe, ask the thousands of people that took in the 60-minutes of cool at the Twin Peaks stage - the crowd stretched for about a quartermile, almost reaching the Panhandle Stage. There is a reason why The Roots are called legendary, and they showed San Francisco why on Saturday. Then there were those pleasant surprises, or acts that you heard were great but had no idea just how much until you saw them live. Ana Tijoux, Ellie Goulding and Ximena Sarinana fall into that group. Goulding is a rising star, Sarinana an impressive pop talent and the world needs more artists like Tijoux. Tijoux, the Chilean hip-hop artist, puts all current (and most past) female MCs to shame her skill on the microphone reminds you of artists like MC Lyte and Queen Latifah in their hip-hop heyday. But the all the music aside, what Outside Lands accomplished, what made it awesome, was getting a lit-

tle bit of everything that makes the Bay Area beautiful into Golden Gate Park for three days of fantastic. The menu and selection of food and wine was curtailed for the exact purpose of satisfying every possible taste bud. The same goes for the activities. Year four of the festival was crucial for Outside Lands while year three was successful, there were certainly those who were left that festival feeling like it lacked something. It felt like 2011 was different. There was a different energy. Walking across the Polo Field toward the Speedway Meadow people-watching is a great barometer of that. And it was obvious every type of person and every type of avor, made it out to the festival. There were fathers carrying their young children on their shoulders walking next to a group of hipsters from the Mission. Latinos, Caucasians, Asians; the young and the not-soyoung, DeadMau5 fans and those there to see OK GO! And there were enough owerchildren to make the 1960s very proud - For a part of the country known for its diversity, there is no better way of symbolizing this than a festival like Outside Lands, which gets all these people in one place, together. Oh, and no San Francisco party would be complete without a cameo from the city's most important celebrity, the 2010 World Series, trophy, which made an appearance at the Sports Lounge tent on Sunday. Even the most important San Franciscan, Mayor Ed Lee, could feel the energy. Lee walked out on the Lands End stage Saturday afternoon and proclaimed to the 60,000 people that Outside Lands was here to stay forever. The prediction of a festival that will be exist as long as San Francisco does isn't far-fetched though, given that the organizers of Outside Lands seem to have the correct equation gured out. Yes, forever would be a terric thing.

Apes stay on top of box office

By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ast Thursday, PHS/SPCA ofcers were called to a home in Pacica to pick up two dogs. Im sure youve seen the reports. A husband came home at lunch to nd his wife dead, with one of their two dogs above her and the other cowering far away in the home. It was believed that one dog (later shot by police) was involved in the attack and the other was not. As of press time (for me, Friday afternoon), the county coroner had yet to determine a cause of death and the Pacica Police Department was actively investigating the case. This, of course, meant we could not share the results from a necropsy our lead veterinarian performed on the dog believed to have attacked his owner. Those results are considered evidence in the investigation. And, whatever the outcome, this is sad, tragic and completely perplexing. A side story, for some media, has centered around owners detecting future aggressive behavior in their dog. Dog owners who see unusual behavior should not ignore it. Many reason the behavior will work itself out and go away on its own. The opposite is usually true. Behavior left unaddressed becomes more pronounced and more problematic because ignoring it tells your dog it is acceptable. So, if your dog never reacted to strangers, but is suddenly tucking his tail, lowering his head or growling when you encounter strangers, this is a warning signal to you. If you do not address this behavior, it will likely get worse. The growling could turn to lunging and an unprovoked attack. The same goes for other puzzling behavior like your dog suddenly becoming more possessive of toys or food, or retreating to a corner when guests enter your home when he used to greet them enthusiastically. These are warning signals that must be addressed, and its best to seek advice from a professional behaviorist or trainer. Scott oversees PHS/SPCAs Customer Service, Behavior and Training, Education, Outreach, Field Services, Cruelty Investigation, Volunteer and Media/PR program areas and staff. His companion, Murray, oversees him.

LOS ANGELES Rebellious apes have held off Southern maids for a narrow win at the weekend box ofce. Studio estimates Sunday pegged Rise of the Planet of the Apes at $27.5 million, good enough for its second-straight No. 1 nish. The 20th Century Fox release raised its 10day domestic total to $104.9 million. The Planet of the Apes prequel came in just ahead of The Help, a drama about Mississippi maids during the civil-rights movement that debuted at No. 2 with $25.5 million. The Help, a DreamWorks release distributed by Disney, has taken in $35.4 million domestically since opening Wednesday. The Warner Bros. horror sequel Final Destination 5, the latest in the franchise where death stalks victims who had been fated to die earlier, opened at No. 3 with $18.4 million. The weekends other two new wide releases had soft openings. Sonys action comedy 30 Minutes or Less, starring Jesse Eisenberg as a pizza deliveryman forced to help rob a bank, was No. 5 with $13 million, just behind Sonys surprise animated smash The Smurfs, which slipped to fourth-place with $13.5 million and lifted its three-week total to $101.5 million. The singers from TVs Glee failed to nd a big-screen audience as 20th Century Foxs Glee: The 3D Concert Movie opened outside the top-10, nishing at No. 11 with just $5.7 million. The concert lm was shot during the casts recent North American tour. Rise of the Planet of the Apes and The Help have exceeded their studios early boxoffice expectations. Both received strong reviews, Apes for surprising drama amid dazzling visual effects to create the simians, The Help for great performances from Viola Davis, Emma Stone, Octavia Spencer and their co-stars in the adaptation of the bestseller about black maids who go public with stories about working for often racist white employers. Youve really got to see it to believe it because of the effects, Fox distribution executive Chris Aronson said of Apes. The combination of the effects and an emotional

Rise of the Planet of the Apesmade $27.5 million at the box ofce over the weekend.

Top ten movies

1.Rise of the Planet of the Apes, $27.5 million ($40.5 million international). 2.The Help,$25.5 million. 3.Final Destination 5,$18.4 million. 4.The Smurfs,$13.5 million ($60 million international). 5.30 Minutes or Less,$13 million. 6.Cowboys & Aliens,$7.6 million ($7 million international). 7.Captain America:The First Avenger,$7.1 million ($12.2 million international). 8.Crazy,Stupid,Love,$6.93 million. 9.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, $6.9 million ($30 million international). 10.The Change-Up,$6.2 million.
story makes for a very satisfying trip to the movies. The Apes prequel added $40.5 million overseas, raising its international total to $75 million and worldwide haul to nearly $180 million. Female crowds made up 74 percent of the audience for The Help, and 60 percent of viewers were older than 35. Thats a sign The Help could have a long shelf life at theaters, since women and older audiences tend to get drawn to lms through word-of-mouth rather than rushing out over opening weekend the way young crowds do.

The Help already has far outpaced the $20 million Disney executives hoped for over the rst ve days, and the lm is playing strongly in both urban and middle America markets, said Dave Hollis, the studios head of distribution. The book and the way it kind of rose to the best-seller list was very much this word-ofmouth, viral thing where people say, youve got to read this thing I just read, and were hoping the movie can do the same kind of thing, Hollis said. The Smurfs also has outstripped expectations. The family hit added $60 million overseas to raise its worldwide total to $242 million, and Sony announced a sequel over the past week. We were ready to make the second one before we even released the rst, said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony. We felt condent it was going to work, but I dont think anybody had any idea it was going to work to this level. Overall domestic business increased for the fth-straight weekend. Revenues totaled $152 million, up 6 percent from the same weekend last year, when The Expendables led with $34.8 million, according to box-ofce tracker Hollywood.com. Were ending the summer on a high note, said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. The usually unsung month of August can be the time when a lot of unexpected things happen that benet the box ofce.

and possibly a loss of business. At the same meeting, the council will consider expanding the off-leash hours for dogs in Washington Park to include 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for a three-month trial. In 2008, the council voted to allowed off-leash dogs on the upper eld of Cuernavaca Park and the eastern most lawn in Washington Park before 7:45 a.m. In September, the council discussed extending the hours to include after 6 p.m. but asked the Parks and Recreation MyBart.org, BART spokesman Jim Allison said. He did not know if the group had obtained information from all the subscribers. No personal nancial information, such as bank accounts or credit card information was listed, according to Allison. Bay Area Rapid Transit district ofcials said they were attempting to shut down the hackers website, which contained the condential information. The agency has notied the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, Allison said. We are Anonymous, we are your citizens, we are the people, we do not tolerate the legislation. Proposition 22, passed by voters last year, prevents the state from taking local government funds, including from redevelopment agencies. Some state lawmakers, however, have argued that since some cities have abused their redevelopment funds, the agencies should be disbanded. San Mateo has used RDA money to revitalize downtown and to help fund new affordable housing and ofce projects near the Hayward Park Caltrain station in recent years. Matthews said San Mateo was a sterling example of how RDA funds should be used. The city has given up more than $5 million already in RDA funds the past two years, according to a staff report. By the end of Fiscal Year 2012-13, the cumulative loss to San Mateo will be $10.2 million, according to the staff report. Foster City, Belmont and Millbrae have already agreed to participate in the states voluntary program. To do so, however, Foster City, as an example, will have to pay the state $6.2 million this driven sources of electromagnetic radiation. The software is used in a variety of applications including for directed energy weapons, nuclear effects simulation and imaging concepts for the medical industry such as ultrasounds. Ives works in a niche eld, with only a handful of companies, big or small, in the United States that research and develop these new technologies. There is a desire to have higher power and higher frequency out of these devices, Ives said. His work helps astrophysicists study the origin of and uncover the basic physics of the universe. Calabazas has developed its cuttingedge technologies with federal grants from the Small Business Innovation Research Program. The program doles out more than $2 billion annually to small companies based on their technological advances. Last year, Calabazas received about $1 million in grant money for its research. But proposed legislation may open the grants up to hedge funds or venture capitalists that could impact smaller businesses such as Calabazas, Ives said. The grant money could start owing to giant Wall Street corporations rather than the true small companies the program was set up to benet, Ives said. Ives hopes the bill, House Resolution 1425, will get amended to be more smallbusiness friendly. In the meantime, Calabazas, founded in 1994, continues to develop technologies here in the Bay Area. From his San Mateo ofce, Ives has access to technolCommission to gather more public opinion. A recent survey showed a positive response for the additional hours. The commission again recommended the expansion for a trial period. In other business, the City Council will consider suggesting safety recommendations for the use of cellphones. The council meets 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 15 at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road, Burlingame. oppression from any government agency, the hackers wrote in an online posting. BART has proved multiple times that they have no problem exploiting and abusing the people. Laura Eichman was among those whose e-mail and home phone number were posted. I think what they (the hackers) did was illegal and wrong. I work in IT myself, and I think that this was not ethical hacking. I think this was completely unjustied, Eichman said. She said she doesnt blame BART and feels its action earlier in the week of blocking cell phone service was reasonable. year and $1 million next. San Mateo currently has about $11 million in RDA funds, $3 million set aside for affordable housing. The rationale for the staff recommendation to continue the agency is to retain funding on hand to complete certain important projects and housing programs over the next few years, including xes to downtown and constructing a new re station, according to the staff report. However, operating under the new voluntary state program would severely limit the operations, programs, projects and debt capacity of the agency and may not be cost effective to continue beyond the next couple of years, according to the staff report. Staff will analyze the long-term viability of continuing operations under the states voluntary program. Redevelopment agencies are funded through tax money but do not levy taxes. When a run-down neighborhood is revamped, the property values increase. The increase in property tax collected, called tax increment, then goes to the respective redevelopment agency. ogy and services not available anywhere else in the world. All of our money is spent here in the United States to create jobs here, he said. In the economic downturn, Congress has made it a mission to create more manufacturing jobs in the country in the coming years and Speier has made it a point to highlight the companies locally that create manufacturing jobs. Calabazas Creek Research is the kind of company that shows how America can innovate itself out of the job crisis. This is rocket science! We are lucky to have the quality and quantity of highly-skilled engineers and scientist here in the Bay Area who develop these technologies. Now more than ever we must focus our attention on making it in America and induce companies to bring their manufacturing back to our shores, Speier said. The work is so specialized, that Ives himself often does not understand the work his colleagues do. The challenge is explaining to the public what we do, he said. All the work is highly specialized and sometimes I dont understand the work my team does and they dont understand what I do. But we come together and make it work. There is no end to the research Ives and his team can do. The desire for higher power and higher frequency does not stop, he said. At least until I retire.

Brown also signed legislation, AB X1 27, that allows cities to keep redevelopment activities alive under new governance and with the condition that cities make payments to the state that will go toward funding schools and special tax districts. The League of California Cities is currently suing the state, challenging the constitutionality of the legislation and asking for a stay and injunction while the court evaluates the merits of the case. The California Supreme Court announced Thursday it would hear a challenge by the states redevelopment agencies with a decision by mid-January whether the state can eliminate them. San Mateo Mayor Jack Matthews told the Daily Journal previously he hopes the courts will side with cities over the state in deciding the legality of

Ives is an expert in designing electron guns, gyrotron circuits, collectors and waveguide components. Gyrotrons are high-power, high-frequency microwave and millimeter wave radio frequency sources used for fusion research and industrial heating. When looking for a job at Calabazas, your resume might want to say rocket scientist on it under job title. The work we do has never been done before, Ives told the Daily Journal. And while his team does not manufacture any of the high-tech devices they create in Palo Alto, they do license the technology to the government and private commercial companies for production that creates jobs all over the country. Calabazas is currently involved in a variety of hardware development programs funded by the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration that is focused on extending high power microwave generation, transmission and efciency. It also develops software that simplies the analysis of complex three-dimensional geometrics and allows for experiments with high-voltage, high-current, electron-

MONDAY, AUG. 15, 2011

Set your sights a bit higher than usual in the year ahead in terms of your objectives. Youll be amazed at where itll take you. By pushing yourself a bit harder than usual, youll accomplish things you never thought possible.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Try to see the whole picture before getting involved in a business negotiation. With the facts at your disposal, youre likely to make the right decision without a lot of rehashing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Dont team up with someone who isnt as enthusiastic about an en-

deavor as you are. This person could easily pour cold water on your efforts at the first sign of trouble. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Do not allow outside influences to rush you into anything you havent had time to consider. Take the necessary time to think through all of your alternatives before putting your plans into action. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Even if an assignment youve mapped out for yourself doesnt come off in accordance with your schedule, by continuing to persist, you should still be able to accomplish your aims. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A little change of venue could do you a world of good. Plan to do something different with people you rarely see who fit comfortably into checking out whats new.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The best way to

finalize something important is to allow it to proceed at its natural pace. Attempting to rush it along could quickly get matters off course. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Enjoy yourself without bruising your wallet. Its one of those days when you dont need expensive diversions in order to have fun. In fact, itll be more enjoyable playing things by ear. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Rather than depend on someone else to always pick most of the bill, even if this person can afford it, be prepared to chip in a reasonable share. Itll do wonders for your image. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Theres a chance you could be somewhat of a dreamer and let your attention span wander off of the work or issue at hand. If you

need to stay focused, you should strive to pay attention. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Social obligations may make a bid for your time and attention, but be your own person and first do what is personally necessary or important. Once its all out of the way, play all you want. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You have a tendency to start one thing but then jump onto another before you completed the first. Dont let that habit cause you to end up with too many unfinished projects. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The best way to make an important decision is to study it closely and then decide on the solution, not the other way around. Once everything is considered, the answer will be manifest. COPYRIGHT 2011 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Libyan rebels try to cut routes to Tripoli

By Karin Laub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ZAWIYA, Libya Libyan rebels claimed Sunday they were trying to cut off two key supply routes to Moammar Gadhas stronghold in Tripoli after capturing more towns in the west of the country. The opposition ghters also battled government forces for control of the strategic city of Zawiya, just 30 miles from the capital. The rebel advances over the past few days out of the western mountains near Tunisia into Zawiya on the Mediterranean coast and other near-

by towns marked the most signicant gains after months of stalemate in the civil war. Rebel leaders said they hope to take Tripoli before the end of this Moammar month, an ambiGadha tious goal. Col. Jumma Ibrahim, a rebel spokesman in the western mountains, said his ghters are moving closer to blocking major supply routes to Tripoli from the south and west. The

routes are critical for moving food, fuel and weapons over land to the capital. This means we are choking Gadha, he said. He only has the sea. He said rebel forces captured the town of Gharyan, 50 miles south of Tripoli, which he said controls the supply road from southern Libya to the capital. Omar Obeid, eld commander for the Sabratha area, 20 miles west of Zawiya on the coast, said rebels have taken up positions in houses along a major supply route there that connects the Ras Ajdir border crossing

with Tunisia to Tripoli. The same road runs through Zawiya, where rebels could also block it if they manage to take control of the city. With NATO imposing a no-y zone over Libya for months and bombarding regime targets, the coastal road has become a lifeline between the capital and the outside world. Rebels said they also captured the town of Surman, near Sabratha to the southeast. After rebels advanced into Zawiya on Saturday, regime forces mounted heavy resistance Sunday with the opposition ghters trying to push deeper into the city of 200,000.

Pro-Gadha snipers shot at the opposition ghters from an overpass deep in the city, while loud booms echoed and a column of heavy black smoke rose over the outskirts. Dozens of civilians crammed in cars with their belongings ed the city. In one car, four women cried desperately, and a man driving shouted that there were dead people in his neighborhood. Rebel pickup trucks with anti-aircraft weapons and machine guns mounted on the back sped along Bir Ghanam street, a main road leading into downtown Zawiya from the south.

Suicide bombers kill 22 in quiet Afghan province

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Syria uses gunboats to crush uprising

By Zeina Karam
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARIKAR, Afghanistan Six suicide bombers attacked a governors security meeting in one of Afghanistans most secure provinces, killing 22 people and driving home the point that the Taliban is able to strike at will virtually anywhere in the country. The governor of Parwan, a relatively peaceful eastern province just 30 miles north of Kabul, survived. He said he picked up an assault rie and shot at least one of the attackers dead

from the waiting room of his ofce. Two other insurgents detonated their vests, causing most of the deaths and burning part of the governors ofces. Several cars were wrecked by shrapnel and bullets. Broken glass and body parts littered a charred lawn. The bold daylight assault in Charikar follows a similar attack by suicide bombers at a major Kabul hotel in June, and the downing of a U.S. helicopter full of U.S. special operations troops only 35 miles away from Kabul.

BEIRUT Syria used gunboats for the rst time Sunday to crush the uprising against Bashar Assads regime, hammering parts of the Mediterranean coastal city of Latakia after thousands marched there over the weekend to demand the presidents ouster. At least 25 people were killed, according to activists. The coordinated attacks by gunboats and ground troops were the latest wave of a brutal offensive against anti-government protests

launched at the beginning of the month. The assault showed Assad has no intention of scaling back the campaign even though it has Bashar Assad brought international outrage and new U.S. and European sanctions. We are being targeted from the ground and the sea, said a frightened resident of the al-Ramel district of Latakia, the hardest hit

neighborhood. The shooting is intense. We cannot go out. They are raiding and breaking into peoples homes, he added, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. As the gunships blasted waterfront districts, ground troops backed by tanks and security forces stormed several neighborhoods including alRamel, sending terried women and children eeing, some on foot, to safer areas. The al-Ramel resident said at least three gunboats were taking part in the offensive, and that many people have been killed and wounded.
