The two top vote-getters county-
wide in the June primary election
for District Four supervisor also
nabbed the key spots by voters who
live in that district, according to the
certified results released by the
Elections Ofce this week.
The numbers
showing Warren
Slocum and
Shelly Masur
carried the dis-
trict as well as
the entire county
comes just days
after county
s u p e r v i s o r s
agreed to let vot-
ers this fall
decide if the
position should
be chosen at-
large or only by
an individual
positions con-
s t i t u e n t s .
County supervi-
sors are chosen by the entire county
electorate but represent an individ-
ual district. San Mateo County is the
only county statewide that chooses
its supervisors this way and some
argue, among other reasons, that it
is unfair because a candidate could
theoretically secure his or her dis-
trict but lose because countywide
voters supported somebody else. In
fact, during the special May 2011
election, now-Supervisor Dave Pine
lost his district to opponent Gina
Papan but won the District One seat
because of overall totals.
In June, Slocum received the most
votes with 38.4 percent overall fol-
lowed by Masur with 21.4 percent.
District Four tally matched countywide results

Children on the Peninsula have a
cool new playroom where they can
feel rsthand what its like to be vet-
erinarian, sniff exciting animal smells
and learn how to use a microchip
scanner.
The Peninsula Humane Society
opened its new Humane House
Saturday and children participating in
day camps at the Tom and Annette
Lantos Center for Compassion on
Rollins Road in Burlingame this
week have already made it their own.
Scott Delucchi, PHSs vice presi-
dent and outreach coordinator, held a
soft launch of the new playroom last
Thursday.
He learned that anything not bolt-
ed down will be moved, kicked and
thrown and that some of the parents
will even join in.
Tuesday, he watched over a group
of about 10 children who got their
rst chance to explore the 400-
square-foot playroom.
They got to don a vets white lab
coat and other uniforms, use a wall-
mounted lightbox to view X-rays of
animals treated by the staff at PHS
and enjoy the Humane Houses Sniff
Zone.
There is even a kitty litter box right
next to the Sniff Zone that doubles as
a game. Children can sift through the
box with a scooper to nd ve hidden
items.
There is also a stuffed toy cocker
spaniel named Joe that children can
use a mounted microchip scanner to
check for its identity.
When asked, most of the children
who visited the Humane House said
that careers as veterinarians were in
their futures.
Weve learned lots about different
species, said Jenna Williamson. She
is working on making a poster this
week to highlight the things she has
learned at daycamp in a presentation
at the end of the week.
Her presentation will be on bun-
nies.
They have learned about rats, par-
rots, turtles and have had some dog-
training classes, said Shannon
Abbott, 11.
Abbott and Sara Saunders, 10, used
the lightbox to check out some X-
rays. They looked intently at one X-

Creating a garden at Taylor Middle School
was a small wish Principal Lesley Martin
shared with parents this school year.
Martin hadnt expected the casual mention
to turn into much more. She often met with
parents at coffee chats to discuss what was on
their mind. It also gives Martin a chance to
share upcoming school events and goals, like
planting a small garden. Last weekend,
through the help of a variety of people in the
community, such a garden was planted on the
Millbrae campus. Despite it being summer, a
group of students and parents came together
to use a variety of donations and make a gar-
den that will aid in student learning this fall.
Martin explained the idea was a simple one.
For starters, Martin is a believer in getting
kids outside and comfortable in a garden any-
way. But also, she said Taylor school is beau-
tiful. Its currently under construction. Adding
plants could be a nice way to spruce things up,
she said.
Hearing the idea was all it took for Taylor
parent Karen Atkinson, who also really enjoys
gardening, to become involved. Atkinson is
admittedly shameless when it comes to asking
for donations to support local schools. She got
to work right away by reaching out to Lowes
Home Improvement. Her small request for the
equipment needed to create a small sprinkler
system was granted.
With work under way, Martin reached out to
Millbraes Environmental Programs Manager
Shelly Reider, who was thrilled to help. The
city has a green emphasis and often Reider
puts on or coordinates educational presenta-
tions in schools on things like recycling and
water conservation. By Martin reaching out,
Reider was able to put the school in contact
with a local expert who could guide the
process of deciding which plants stay and
what native, drought tolerant plants should be
added. Additionally, the city funded the com-
post, plant material and landscape design
services.
On Saturday, June 23, parents, students and
local church volunteers gathered to install an
irrigation system, amendments and a drought
tolerant native garden in the 230-square-foot
planting bed at the front of the school.
Atkinson brought her children to help with
the day.
We like to give them the chance to help the
community, she said, adding while at work
her daughters friend happened to jog by.
She stopped and asked if she could help.
Not only was she welcomed, but the girl
called her sister to join, Atkinson said.
Its so important for kids to understand
things dont just happen, Atkinson said, but
they can make things happen.
During the school year, student groups will
assist in the garden as part of their seventh
grade science curriculum of exploring the
structure and function of living systems, said
Martin.

Ex-VP Spiro Agnew
widow dead at 91
ANNAPOLIS, Md. The
widow of former Vice President
Spiro Agnew has died. Judy Agnew
was 91.
Agnews daughter Susan Sagle
said Friday her mother died on June
20 in Rancho Mirage, Calif., with
her four children present.
Sagle says her mothers health
had been deteriorating since 2005
and she developed pneumonia.
The wife of the man who became
known as President Richard
Nixons strident point man stayed
out of politics, focusing on family
life.
I think she had a very quiet and
enjoyable life with friends and fam-
ily and stayed very much involved
with her family, which was the
most important part of her life,
Sagle said in a telephone interview
Friday.
Former U.S. Rep. Helen Bentley,
a Maryland Republican and long-
time friend, described her as a

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A San Francisco woman accused
of running over a man hanging to
her vehicle after she snatched his
cellphone pleaded not guilty to
charges of theft, robbery and
assault.
Meylin Jessica Reyes, 23, is also
charged in similar crimes else-
where.
After entering her Superior Court
plea, Reyes was scheduled for trial
Aug. 20.
Prosecutors say on April 28 Reyes
drove up to the man who was walk-
ing near 22nd Avenue in San Mateo
and asked to borrow his phone
because her phone had died. The
35-year-old man dialed the number
for Reyes and held the phone to her
ear at which time she grabbed his
wrist and phone before driving
away, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
The man was dragged 300 to 400
feet down the street before falling
off and Reyes reportedly ran him
over. The man suffered a severed
artery in his arm requiring surgery
and road rash to his face and body.
On May 2, Reyes reportedly used
the same ruse, once in San Mateo
where the victim handed over the
phone and another at Stanford
University where police were able
to detain her.
Cellphones for both May 2 vic-
tims were found in Reyes car,
according to prosecutors who say
she committed similar thefts at
Stanford on April 11 and in Palo
Alto on April 4.
Reyes remains in custody on
$100,000 bail.
Woman pleads not guilty to running over man during robbery
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A man accused of brutally
assaulting and raping a woman in
an abandoned South San Francisco
home before she escaped with the
help of his cousin will stand trial in
November on multiple felonies
that could send him to prison for
life.
Sergio Cortez, 28, pleaded not
guilty Friday to charges of kidnap-
ping for the purposes of rape,
forcible copulation and forcible
rape. After entering his Superior
Court plea,
Cortez was
scheduled for a
pretrial confer-
ence in October
followed by a
Nov. 5 jury trial.
Cortez faces
25 years to life
in prison if con-
victed of the
kidnapping charge in the Sept. 8,
2011 attack on a woman who
allegedly met him and agreed to
have sex.
Prosecutors say Cortez drove the
woman to an alley where he
punched her in the face and forced
oral copulation before taking her at
knifepoint to an abandoned home in
the 600 block of Third Lane in
South San Francisco. Cortez
allegedly broke into the home,
forced the woman into a water
heater closet where he urinated on
her and called his male cousin to
come over.
The cousin allegedly smoked
methamphetamine with Cortez and
left at which point authorities say
the woman had her faced smashed
against the bathroom wall and toilet
tank before again being sexually
assaulted.
The cousin returned with clothing
and the men drove the woman to his
house where she was told to shower.
After Cortez left, the cousins broth-
er called South San Francisco police
who arrived and located the suspect
shortly after.
At the time of his arrest, Cortez
was on misdemeanor court proba-
tion for a petty theft conviction.
He remains held without bail.
Violent rape suspect pleads not guilty
By Alan Fram and Joan Lowy
WASHINGTON Congress
emphatically approved legislation
Friday preserving jobs on transporta-
tion projects from coast to coast and
avoiding interest rate increases on
new loans to millions of college stu-
dents, giving lawmakers campaign-
season bragging rights on what may
be their biggest economic achieve-
ment before the November elections.
The bill sent for President Barack
Obamas signature enables just over
$100 billion to be spent on highway,
mass transit and other transportation
programs over the next two years,
projects that would have expired
Saturday without congressional
action. It also ends a bare-knuckle
political battle over student loans that
raged since spring, a proxy ght over
which party was best helping voters
muddle through the economic down-
turn. Obama signed a one-week tem-
porary measure Friday evening, per-
mitting the highway and loan pro-
grams to continue until the full legis-
lation reaches his desk.
Under the bill, interest rates of 3.4
percent for subsidized Stafford loans
for undergraduates will continue for
another year, instead of doubling for
new loans beginning on Sunday as
scheduled by a law passed ve years
ago to save money.
Had the measure failed, interest
rates would have mushroomed to 6.8
percent for 7.4 million students
expected to get the loans over the com-
ing year, adding an extra $1,000 to the
average cost of each loan and antago-
nizing students and their parents
four months from Election Day. The
Democratic-led Senate sent the meas-
ure to Obama by a 74-19 vote, just
minutes after the Republican-run
House approved it 373-52. The unusu-
al display of harmony, in a bitterly par-
tisan year, signaled lawmakers eager-
ness to claim credit for providing
transportation jobs, to avert higher
costs for students and their families
and to avoid being embarrassed had
the effort run aground.

WASHINGTON The White House
is urging congressional Democrats to
engage Republicans in a ght over taxes,
pressing them to go on the offensive
after the Supreme Courts health care
decision gave prominence to the issue.
White House senior adviser David
Plouffe is sending a memorandum to the
House and Senate Democratic caucuses
saying Republicans are misrepresenting
Obamas record. In a memo obtained by
the Associated Press, Plouffe said the
White House welcomes a debate on
taxes.
Obama has called for tax increases on
households earning more than $250,000,
but has also said existing tax cuts should
be extended permanently for the middle
class.
The court upheld the law, declaring
that a penalizing people who can afford
insurance but dont buy can be treated as
a tax.

WASHINGTON The Justice
Department declared Friday that
Attorney General Eric Holders decision
to withhold information about a bungled
gun-tracking operation from Congress
does not constitute a crime and he wont
be prosecuted for contempt of Congress.
The House voted Thursday afternoon
to nd Holder in criminal and civil con-
tempt for refusing to turn over the docu-
ments. President Barack Obama invoked
his executive privilege authority and
ordered Holder not to turn over materials
about executive branch deliberations and
internal recommendations.
In a letter to House Speaker John
Boehner, the department said that it will
not bring the congressional contempt
citation against Holder to a federal grand
jury and that it will take no other action
to prosecute the attorney general. Dated
Thursday, the letter was released Friday.
Deputy Attorney General James Cole
said the decision is in line with long-
standing Justice Department practice
across administrations of both political
parties.
We will not prosecute an executive
branch ofcial under the contempt of
Congress statute for withholding sub-
poenaed documents pursuant to a presi-
dential assertion of executive privilege,
Cole wrote.
In its letter, the department relied in
large part on a Justice Department legal
opinion crafted during Republican
Ronald Reagans presidency.
Frederick Hill, the spokesman for
Rep. Darrell Issa, said it is regrettable
that the political leadership of the
Justice Department is taking that posi-
tion. Issa, the House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee chair-
man, is leading the effort to get the mate-
rial related to Operation Fast and
Furious.
Although the House voted Thursday to
nd Holder in criminal and civil con-
tempt, Republicans probably are still a
long way from obtaining documents
they want for their inquiry into
Operation Fast and Furious, a awed
gun-tracking investigation focused on
Phoenix-area gun shops by Justices
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives.
The criminal path is now closed and
the civil route through the courts would
not be resolved anytime soon.
This is pure politics, White House
spokesman Jay Carney said.
Remarkably the chairman of the
committee involved here has asserted
that he has no evidence that the attorney
general knew of Operation Fast and
Furious or did anything but take the right
action when he learned of it.
No evidence, so if you have no evi-
dence as he has stated now about the
White House and the attorney general,
what else could this be but politics?
More than 100 Democrats walked out
of the House chamber to boycott the rst
of two contempt votes, saying
Republicans were more interested in
shameful election-year politics than doc-
uments.
Justice wont prosecute Holder
Some at Gitmo could
be sent to Afghanistan
By Anne Gearan
WASHINGTON The Obama administration is considering
a new gambit to restart peace talks with the Taliban in
Afghanistan that would send several Taliban detainees from the
military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to a prison in
Afghanistan, U.S. and Afghan ofcials told the Associated Press.
Under the proposal, some Taliban ghters or afliates cap-
tured in the early days of the 2001 U.S. invasion of Afghanistan
and later sent to Guantanamo under the label of enemy combat-
ants would be transferred out of full U.S. control but not
released. Its a leap of faith on the U.S. side that the men will not
become threats to U.S. forces once back on Afghan soil. But it
is meant to show more moderate elements of the Taliban insur-
gency that the U.S. is still interested in cutting a deal for peace.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and others have
said that while negotiations with the Taliban are distasteful, they
are the best way to settle the prolonged war.
The new compromise is intended to boost the credibility of the
U.S.-backed Afghan government. President Hamid Karzai and
U.S. ofcials are trying to draw the Taliban back to negotiations
toward a peace deal between the national Afghan government
and the Pashtun-based insurgency that would end a war U.S.
commanders have said cannot be won with military power
alone.

Issues with Lempert
Editor,
Regarding Sue Lemperts June 18 col-
umn, Bay Meadows Comes to Life, the
real Bay Meadows is dead, killed by Sue
Lempert and San Mateo city leadership.
The easiest decision she ever made was
to oppose the 24 hour card room at the race
track. No kidding. The money coming in
for her supposedly grassroots effort from
other Peninsula card rooms that didnt want
competition, must have made it very easy.
Shes boasting about single-handedly
opposing a Bay Meadows card room and
her vote to develop the track. She mentions
City Manager Arne Croce, but doesnt men-
tion other councilmembers, planning com-
missioners or city leadership that made sure
the track was closed. Her self opinion is no
surprise. Anyone following the issue easily
saw that Lempert was the tail wagging the
dog. She says none of the ideas she and
Croce discussed for developing the track
were possible. Sadly all sensible, doable
and profitable ideas presented by the public
were ignored.
Former Mayor Lempert (through rotation
only, not public vote mind you) referring to
a card room at Hollywood Park, says, I
gasped in surprise at the rows of old
despondent men bent over their cards and
cigarettes in the smoke filled room. Has
she ever been in the Jockey Club right here
in San Mateo where she adamantly opposes
gambling? She would gasp again at the
rows of old despondent men bent over their
programs and racing forms, betting and
gambling, just gambling ... no horses, cer-
tainly no jockeys at the Jockey Club, no
blue skies, no sunshine, no green grass, no
dirt, no fresh air, no kids playing and
laughing, no family functions, just straight-
up, hard-core gambling. Ya, thats the way
we like it in San Mateo. Such hypocrisy!
A lot of real nice people work there
though!

A different reaction
to health care law
Editor,
Regarding the story, Local reaction posi-
tive about the health care law in the June
29 edition of the Daily Journal, with all the
information we dont have regarding the
health care bill, it is no wonder to me
how thrilled the doctor in the article is.
Just think now what this splendid health
care bill will mean for the medicos. They
will be free to manufacture yet undiscov-
ered new diseases and conditions.
Groundbreaking advances in treating nor-
mal grieving could be just around the cor-
ner now that those who lose someone close
to them will be covered by Obamacare.
It is embarrassing to me that we have let
the federal government convince enough of
us all that we are children and the Supemes
have said yes to the expansion of the feder-
al government. Sixteen-thousand new IRS
agents added to collect fines for not paying
this new tax? How many of you reading
this really think this is about heath care?
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo,
said the rulings core concept is that afford-
able health care is a right instead of a privi-
lege.
This is a stunning quote that says it all
about Democrats whose focus it is to define
for us, a Constitution that they think needs
to be done away with.

Democrats get a
great deal of respect
Editor,
Patrick Field noted that Our Democratic
leaders get no respect in his letter to the
editor in the June 19 edition of the Daily
Journal. Although he referenced the lack of
respect given to former presidents, I am not
so sure that this is true. The presidents cited
created some of their misadventures while
other events were probably dictated by
world events that were out of their control.
In San Mateo County and the Bay Area,
our electorate must respect our Democratic
leaders as there are probably few
Republicans holding elected offices. Instead
of electing new candidates, we re-elect
incumbents even if they are termed out of
office. In spite of that fact, we are in a
political gridlock locally and nationally,
and the art of negotiation between parties
has failed to push a moderate, progressive
agenda.
Regardless of who is elected, there are
grave omissions in the way Democrats and
Republicans provide social services. I
would think that both branches would be
astonished by how much money is wasted
through fraud and waste in the executive
branch programs funded by the Legislature.
Instead of bickering we should have com-
prehensive compliance reviews and meas-
ure the product of the legislation consigned
to state government departments, boards
and commissions. We should scrap ineffec-
tive programs and redirect tax dollars where
it will benefit the needy who demonstrate
that the benefit is greater than the harm and
will improve or eliminate services where
there are shortcomings.

Can you please cover
Bradley Mannings case?
Editor,
Im writing to call on your paper for
increased coverage of Pfc. Bradley
Mannings trial.
Manning, who has been accused of leak-
ing the largest document dump in U.S. his-
tory to Wikileaks, will be in Fort Meade for
a pretrial hearing on July 16 and currently
faces 23 different charges including one of
aiding the enemy. If convicted, he faces a
sentence of life imprisonment.
Despite over 760 days in pretrial confine-
ment, many media outlets have been too
silent on Mannings case, allowing the gov-
ernments mistreatment of him to continue
in near secrecy.
A reckless, opaque conviction for Pfc.
Manning could have dire consequences for
future whistleblowers, journalists and
activists. Because of this, the media must
do its part to engage the American public in
a conversation about this trial and our gov-
ernments behavior before its too late.
I ask that you do your part and increase
coverage of the Bradley Manning trial,
beginning with his hearing on July 16.

Online privacy
Editor,
I would like to commend Michelle
Durand on her very timely column on
social media (Open (Face)book in the
June 28 edition of the Daily Journal). The
pace of technological change has resulted
in massive amounts of personal information
being collected, publicized and shared
without much thought about privacy or
impact on professional life. Additionally,
human nature is such that we judge people
on the basis of any number of factors, even
if it is done subconsciously. This is why
laws were passed to provide guidelines
about collection and consideration of eth-
nicity, marital status, etc. by potential
employers. Now, all of this is in danger of
being circumvented by social networking
websites.
In addition, it seems we are creating a
generation that has little time for deep
reflection. The significant amount of time
spent responding to multiple inane mes-
sages (that in turn creates a feeling of
being left out when not online), does not
allow for concentrated reading or analysis.
Maybe it is time for rapid maturity on
part of both government and consumers in
this area. Corporations would love to see
growth without much restriction because it
feeds a massive marketing machine. It is
proper laws and demand by consumers to
be able to easily restrict personal informa-
tion that will help better protect everyone.

A smart move
to save money
on Cal Grants
The Sacramento Bee
C
alifornias economic future
depends on an educated work-
force, so its no cause for celebra-
tion that the state budget crunch is forcing
cuts in college tuition grants for needy stu-
dents.
But at least the governor and Legislature
are going about it in a way that wrings
most of the savings from for-profit private
schools with the worst graduation and loan
repayment rates.
The spending plan before Gov. Jerry
Brown cuts $103 million from the Cal
Grant program by 2013-14 and tightens the
rules for private colleges to be eligible for
the money.
These sensible standards are long over-
due. Preserving access to higher education
for poorer students is important, but not at
any price and not at any school.
The cost of Cal Grants has ballooned
from $460 million for 147,000 awards in
2003 to $1.5 billion for 330,000 awards
now. The maximum grant has been the
same at all private schools, whether non-
profits or for-profits. And until recently,
students could use Cal Grants at almost
any school, no matter how abysmal its
record at turning out successful graduates.
Under the changes, only colleges where
at least 30 percent of students are graduat-
ing and where no more than 15.5 percent
are defaulting on loans will be eligible to
receive Cal Grants for new students. The
new standards will disqualify about 4 in 5
for-profit private colleges, affecting more
than 11,000 students statewide at places
such as Heald College, ITT Technical
Institute and University of Phoenix.
If a lot of students dont succeed, were
not going to pay for students to go to
school there anymore, Steve Boilard, the
higher education director at the Legislative
Analysts Office, told The Bees Laurel
Rosenhall. Youre not saying no to stu-
dents; youre saying no to schools.
Also, starting next year, students at for-
profit schools that do meet the new stan-
dards will have their maximum grant cut
by more than half, to $4,000 a year.
Scholarship amounts will also be
reduced for students at qualifying nonprofit
private colleges like University of the
Pacific, but by far less, to a maximum of
$8,056 in 2014. Less than 1 in 5 nonprofit
private schools fall short of the new stan-
dards.
Thankfully, Cal Grants are protected for
students at public campuses: the University
of California, California State University
and community colleges.
The state Student Aid Commission,
which oversees the grants, is pleased about
that, and also that the Legislature rejected
Browns earlier proposal to raise the grade-
point average required for students to qual-
ify for the grants.
The changes rightly emphasize the eligi-
bility of institutions instead of the eligibili-
ty of individual students, the commissions
Ed Emerson told The Bees editorial board
Wednesday. And the budget enacts the
commissions recommended tougher stan-
dards for for-profit schools.
If these schools did as well at educating
students as they do pocketing government
grants and loans, they might have more of
an argument against the cuts.
The powers that be in Sacramento have
finally recognized that taxpayers have no
duty - and in these times certainly cant
afford to write blank checks to these
colleges.

Financial markets around the world
stormed higher Friday after European
leaders came up with a breakthrough
plan to rescue banks, relieve debt-bur-
dened governments and restore investor
condence.
The Dow Jones industrial average
climbed 277 points, and the Standard &
Poors 500 index had its best day of the
year. Stocks advanced even further in
Europe, in strong and weak countries
alike.
The price of oil posted its biggest one-
day increase in more than three years,
and other commodities shot higher
signs of hope that a deal in Europe will
remove a big barrier to a healthier world
economy.
In Brussels, leaders of the 17 countries
that use the euro appeared nally to have
found a broad strategy to ght a debt cri-
sis that has hounded European govern-
ments and world investors for three
years.
The leaders agreed to pump money
directly into stricken banks, let some
countries tap into rescue money without
submitting to stringent budget require-
ments and, later, tie European govern-
ments closer in economic union.
David Kelly, chief global strategist at
JPMorgan Funds, said it was becoming
clear that European leaders will compro-
mise to solve the crisis. One of the
biggest stock gains Friday came in
Germany, which took a hard line in ear-
lier negotiations.
The whole language is positive here,
he said. Every time theyve stared over
the cliff into the abyss of a euro breakup,
theyve realized its much wiser to get
closer together.
There was a sign immediately that
Europes latest plan was working: The
cost for the troubled government of
Spain to borrow money on the bond mar-
ket fell dramatically, by more than half a
percentage point, to 6.34 percent.
Previous market rallies tied to
progress in Europe have proved tempo-
rary. But for the day, at least, global
stock markets were jubilant:
In New York, the Dow Jones indus-
trial average closed up 277.83 points, its
second-best showing this year. The S&P
500 index soared 33 points, or 2.5 per-
cent. The rally left the S&P a gain of 8.3
percent at the halfway mark for the year.
The benchmark stock index in
Germany rose 4.3 percent, by far its best
performance this year. Germany has the
biggest economy in Europe, and it
depends heavily on exports, so it needs
other countries to stay healthy.

BRUSSELS Europes leaders nal-
ly rose to the challenge Friday, backing
bold ideas to help weak countries and
frail banks ravaged by a debt crisis that
has crippled economic growth and
threatened the global nancial system.
Markets roared their approval.
For the rst time in 19 summits since
the start of the crisis, the EU leaders
deed low expectations by announcing
plans to:
Bail out banks, without putting any
nancial burden on strapped govern-
ments.
Ease borrowing costs on Italy and
Spain, the euro regions third- and
fourth-largest economies.
Seek stronger, centralized regulation
to European banks.
Rescue oundering countries, with-
out forcing them to make painful budg-
et cuts if theyve already made econom-
ic reforms.
Tie their budgets, currency and gov-
ernments more tightly.
Europes leaders trumpeted the agree-
ment. The prime minister of Ireland
one of the ve euro countries that has
required emergency funds said the
plans marked a seismic shift in
European policy. British Prime
Minister David Cameron said that for
the rst time in some time we have actu-
ally seen steps ... to get ahead of the
game.
There was a sign immediately that
Europes latest plan was easing fear in
nancial markets: The cost for the trou-
bled government of Spain to borrow
money on the bond market fell dramati-
cally. The interest rate, or yield, on the
countrys 10-year bonds fell by more
than half a percentage point, to 6.34 per-
cent.
The Dow Jones industrial average
recorded one of its biggest gains of the
year, and stocks advanced even further in
Europe in strong and weak countries
alike. The benchmark stock index in
Germany rose 4.3 percent, by far its best
performance this year. Germany has the
biggest economy in Europe, and a warm
reaction there was a crucial sign of
approval for the plan. Prices for oil and
other commodities shot higher.
The decisions made at the European
Union summit in Brussels wont end the

three years. Plenty of questions remain
about how the bank bailouts would

WASHINGTON U.S. consumers
spent no more in May than in April after
seeing almost no gain in their pay. The
lack of growth in consumer spending
and wages suggests that a faltering job
market is slowing the economy.
The Commerce Department said
Friday that consumer spending was
unchanged in May. Income growth
edged up 0.2 percent, but that was most-
ly because of gains from investments.
Wages, the largest component of
income, were essentially at.
Americans cut back spending on cars
and other long-lasting manufactured
goods, even though they paid less for
gas. Consumers did increase how much
they spent on services for the second
straight month, one of the few positive
signs.
The government also said spending
after adjusted for ination was weaker in
April and March than rst thought.
Consumer spending drives roughly 70
percent of economic activity. The most-
ly disappointing report suggests growth
in the April-June quarter could be weak-
er than the previous quarters modest 1.9
percent annual pace.
Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist for
Capital Economics, said annual growth
in the second quarter could be closer to
1.5 percent.

NEW YORK Oil soared the most
in more than three years after European
leaders took surprisingly aggressive
steps to halt a debt crisis that has under-
mined condence in the global econo-
my.
Benchmark U.S. crude jumped by
$7.27, or 9.4 percent, on Friday to end
the week at $84.96 per barrel in New
York. Brent crude, which helps set the
price of imported oil, rose by $6.44, or 7
percent, to $95.51 per barrel in London.
The surge could end a nearly three-
month decline in U.S. gasoline prices.
The national average for gas had
declined from $3.94 per gallon in the rst
week of April to $3.35 on Friday.
Oil rose after eurozone leaders
unveiled a plan to rescue ailing banks,
relieve debt-burdened governments in
Italy, Spain and elsewhere and restore the
condence of markets. The progress in
dealing with Europes lengthy debt crisis
is good news for that continents and
the worlds economy. Economic
growth drives energy consumption.
The deal was struck as borrowing rates
in Spain and Italy surged to levels that
were considered unsustainable. Leery
investors were surprised and energized
by the breakthrough they rushed to
buy riskier assets like oil and stocks and
sold ultra-safe U.S. Treasuries.

Toyota to recall Lexus SUVs to fix floor mat
DETROIT Toyotas problems with runaway acceler-
ation just wont go away.
Three years after the company recalled its rst cars over
unintended acceleration, it has identied two more models
at risk. They are the 2010 Lexus RX 350 and RX 450H
SUVs.
Toyota said Friday it will recall 154,000 of the SUVs
because their oor mats can trap the gas pedal and cause
the SUVs to speed up without warning. U.S. safety regu-
lators, who asked Toyota to recall the vehicles, may inves-
tigate whether the company reported the problem fast
enough.
Toyotas action adds to a string of embarrassing safety
recalls that began in 2009. The Japanese automaker has
recalled more than 14 million vehicles globally to x prob-
lems including sticky gas pedals and oor mats.

On a close play at the plate, Ravenswoods DeMaurier Jackson is called out as Alpine catcher John McGrory applies the tage during Alpines
10-0 win in the rst round of the District 52 Majors All-Star Tournament Friday afternoon.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The road to the Little League World Series
got under way Friday afternoon with the rst
game of the District 52 Majors all-star tourna-
ment, featuring kids ages 11 and 12.
Because of the sheer number of teams in the
district, Ravenswood and Alpine were two of
the four to have rst round games. Alpine
manager Dominic Andrighetto hopes that the
extra game allows his players to get in a
rhythm and get the pre-tournament jitters out
of the way early.
I think it was the unluck of the draw (to be
one of four teams playing rst-round games),
Andrighetto said. Were thankful to have it,
though.
Alpine should be riding high and in a
groove heading into a Sunday morning game
against Half Moon Bay after Alpine beat
Ravenswood 10-0 at Highlands Park in San
Carlos in a game shortened to just 3 1/2
innings because of the 10-run mercy rule.
Alpine scored 10 runs on just eight hits, tak-
ing advantage of four Ravenswood errors in
the process. Timmy Goode had a big day at
the plate, going 2 for 3 with two runs scored
and three RBIs, including a two-run homer to
right-center eld to end the game.
In the dugout, I was thinking about it (hit-
ting a walkoff home run), Goode said. But
when I got up there, I just wanted to hit it
hard.
Said Andrighetto: The last couple of weeks
[Goodes] just been a terror.
Connor Burns also had strong performance,
going 3 for 3 with a RBI and two runs scored.
Adam Joss and Dominic Cacchione both had
a ground-rule double, with the ball hopping

Shawn Johnson, former Olympic silver
medalist and national champion, was forced
to retire due to a knee injury.
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
SAN JOSE Shawn Johnson is a conict-
ed young woman. You can tell. Its much too
obvious.
Sitting and relaxing on a white sofa chair
elding questions since 5:30 a.m. while ash-
ing that golden smile isnt her thing, though
she does it well both the answering of
questions and the hiding of her discomfort.
Down there, some three or four stories
below the Procter & Gamble suite at the HP
Pavilion in San Jose, down there where mats,
bars, beams and vaults dot the arena oor, sur-
rounded by chairs, cameras and Olympic
dreams, down there is where you get the sense
Johnson would rather be. While the words that
come out of her mouth are those of an opti-
mistic woman who knows she is only 20 years
old and thus has an entire life ahead of her, the
side of her that wants to jump out of her seat
and rush down to that oor, throw some chalk
on her hands and knock out a bar routine is
obvious. Passion for something youve loved
your entire life is one of the hardest things to
hide. Johnson tries her best, but its not quite
there yet.
Johnson, a former national, world and
Olympic medalist is retired. She has an
injured knee to thank for that.
Its scary, Johnson said after she was
asked for at least the 12th time that day what
retirement feels like. And just like she had
every time before that, she answered with one
of those smiles that swayed between gleeful
and terried.
Gymnastics has been a part of my life
since I was 3 [years old] and even in 2008
when I took two years off, the door was still
open. I was still able, I was still wondering,
Should I? Could I? kind of with one foot in
the door. Whereas now, the door is closed. Ive
never had that feeling before. Its liberating
I nally get to turn a new chapter and try new
stuff. Im very conicted emotionally right
now.

PORTO NOVO, Benin Oscar Pistorius
four-year quest to run in the 400 meters at the
London Olympics came down to less than a
quarter-second at the end.
Thats how close the Blade Runner was to
carving out his place in history.
The South African double-amputee missed
out on qualifying in his individual event by an
agonizing 0.22 seconds on Friday in his last
chance ahead of next months games.
Silver at the African Championships and a
rst major individual medal in an able-bodied
race was only small consolation for the
worlds most famous disabled athlete, who has
deed doubts over his ability throughout his
career and came a little more than two-tenths
of a second from reaching
the pinnacle of his sport in
his nal qualifying race.
He still should be picked
for South Africas 1,600
relay team, but the dream
of testing himself against
the worlds best runners
over one lap in Olympic
Stadium is gone for
Pistorius for now.
Rio de Janeiro in 2016 will likely be the 25-
year-olds very last opportunity to run the 400
at the Olympics on his carbon ber blades and
realize a dream hes had since a rugby injury
forced him to take up athletics as a teenager
less than 10 years ago.

SANTA CLARA The San Francisco 49ers
are asking a judge to decide if Santa Clara
County can redirect $30 million originally ear-
marked for the teams new stadium for other
uses.
A Sacramento judge on Thursday set a court
hearing in the case for July 3. The 49ers are
expected to ask for a temporary restraining order
freezing the use of the funds until the matter is
settled.
The dispute arose after a county board respon-
sible for allocating redevelopment funds said the
money should be used for more pressing com-
munity needs.
The 49ers argue the money is legally theirs
because it was allotted by voters in 2010 to help
build the $1.2 billion stadium. The city of Santa
Clara agrees.

ARLINGTON, Texas Craig Gentrys
bases-loaded triple in the eighth capped a four-
run rally and Matt Harrison pitched eight strong
innings to win his 11th game, lifting the Texas
Rangers past the Oakland Athletics 4-3 on
Friday night.
Gentry, who entered in the seventh, lifted a
y ball to deep left off Oakland reliever Ryan
Cook that gave the Rangers a 4-2 lead. Yoenis
Cespedes appeared to misjudge Gentrys ball as
he took a few steps in at rst before it ew over
his head.
Oakland reliever Grant Balfour (1-2) issued a
bases-loaded walk to Nelson Cruz with two
outs in the eighth before he was replaced by
Cook.
Harrison (11-3) threw a season-high 121
pitches, allowing two runs and eight hits. The
left-hander joined Tampa Bays David Price as
the American Leagues only 11-game winners.
Oakland rookie A.J. Grifn made his second
career start allowed two hits in six shutout
innings.
The Rangers, who won their fourth in a row,
had only two hits coming into the eighth inning
before Elvis Andrus singled with one out.
Balfour walked Josh Hamilton and Michael
Young to load the bases. On a 3-2 pitch, Cruz
walked to force in Andrus.
Cook, who had allowed opponents to hit just
.102 this season, relieved Balfour and gave up
Gentrys game-deciding triple.
Tanner Scheppers gave up a solo homer to
Chris Carter with two outs in the ninth. He
retired Seth Smith to end the game and pick up
his rst career save.
Harrison is making a push for his rst All-
Star game appearance two days before the
teams are announced. He hasnt lost since May
12 and is 5-0 in June.
Grifn struck out four and walked two
against baseballs top-scoring team. The 24-
year-old pitched six innings in his big league
debut Sunday against San Francisco. Hamilton
and Cruz had the only hits off Grifn, who start-
ed the season pitching for Double-A Midland.

SAN FRANCISCO Mike Leake pitched a
nine-hitter for his rst career complete game and
homered off Matt Cain, and the Cincinnati Reds
beat the San Francisco Giants 5-1 on Friday
night.
Zack Cozart hit the rst pitch of the game
from Cain over the wall in left-center and, just
like that, San Franciscos franchise-record
streak of four straight shutouts had ended.
Jay Bruce added a two-run double in the rst
among his four hits to stake Leake (3-5) to a
quick cushion as the Reds got to Cain early to
snap a four-game road skid. Leake homered
with two outs in the sixth, his second of the year.
Cain (9-3), pitching at home in sold-out
AT&T Park for the rst time since tossing the
22nd perfect game June 13 against the Astros,
had his career-best eight-game winning streak
snapped.
The right-hander allowed three runs in the
rst inning for the rst time since June 24, 2010,
at Houston.
San Franciscos pitching staff went 36 innings
without allowing a run, beginning after Cains
start at Oakland last Sunday and lasting until his
next outing. It was the longest scoreless innings
streak in San Francisco history and second-
longest to the franchise mark of 38 accom-
plished by the New York Giants in 1903 and 33.
Bruce also hit an RBI double in the seventh
that chased Cain, matching his career high with
four hits for the fth time he has done it.
Cains 11 hits in 6 2-3 innings matched his
most given up this year and the right-hander lost
for the rst time in 11 starts since a defeat to
Miami on May 1. He allowed ve runs, struck
out seven and walked one.
While Cain has the perfecto to his name, it
was everybody else in the rotation Barry
Zito, Ryan Vogelsong, Tim Lincecum and
Madison Bumgarner, in that order involved
in the remarkable string of shutouts. San

Stanford reinstates LB Skov
with one-game suspension
STANFORD Linebacker Shayne Skov has
been reinstated to the Stanford football team and
will serve a one-game suspension this season
after he was arrested and jailed earlier this year
for driving under the inuence.
Coach David Shaw said Friday that Skov, a
senior who missed most of the Cardinals 2011
season with a knee injury, will sit out the season
opener Aug. 31 against San Jose State. He was
arrested Feb. 5.
Skov led Stanford with 84 tackles and had 7
1/2 sacks as a sophomore, then sustained a sea-
son-ending torn ligament in his left knee in the
third game last fall. Shaw said Skov is close to
100 percent healthy and that his rehab is going
well.
USADA les formal
charges against Armstrong
AUSTIN, Texas The U.S. Anti-Doping
Agency has led formal charges against Lance
Armstrong, accusing the seven-time Tour de
France winner of using performance-enhancing
drugs throughout the best years of his career.
The agency notied Armstrong, former team
manager Johan Bruyneel and several other
Armstrong team associates of the charges in a
letter on Thursday.
The charges came after a USADA review
panel examined evidence in the case, which now
goes to an arbitration panel to decide. If found
guilty, Armstrong could be stripped of the Tour
de France titles he won from 1999-2005. This
years Tour de France begins Saturday.
Armstrong maintains his innocence.
Armstrong attorney Robert Luskin called the
charges wrong and baseless.
Also charged are team doctors Pedro Celaya
Lezama and Luis Garcia del Moral; team trainer
Pepe Marti, and consulting doctor Michele
Ferrari. Because they are so closely linked,
USADA rolled all of the charges into a single
case.
Blake pulls a stunner in Jamaica

KINGSTON, Jamaica The Fastest Man
in the World wasnt the fastest man in Jamaica
on Friday night.
That honor goes to Yohan Blake, who blew
away Usain Bolt out of the starting blocks and
nished the 100-meter nal in 9.75 seconds to
upset the world-record holder by 0.11 seconds
in the Jamaican Olympic trials.
Blake is the reigning world champion, but
that victory came with an asterisk because
Bolt didnt run that night after being disquali-
ed for a false start. This was their rst
rematch, their rst real race since then. Bolt
was considered the favorite, not only because
of his world record 9.58 seconds but
because Blake, his training partner, had never
run below 9.82 in his life.

OMAHA, Neb. Cullen Jones is
going to a second straight Olympics
after an up-and-down couple of
years.
Jason Lezak is headed to London,
too, as a 36-year-old father of two.
They were part of a loaded eld of
Olympic medalists in the 100-meter
freestyle nal on Friday night at the
U.S. swimming trials.
Nathan Adrian went in as the
favorite and won in 48.10 seconds,
fourth-fastest in the world this year.
The sprinter who trains at California
led at the turn and never let up.
The race was on for the second
individual spot.
Jones went out strong and hung
on from the far outside lane to touch
in 48.46, giving the rst African-
American ever to win an Olympic
swimming gold medal a shot at
adding to his collection.
It means a lot, he said. I had
some denite doubts the last couple
years.
Now 28, Jones swam on the win-
ning 400 freestyle relay in Beijing
that set a world record. The victory
raised his prole and he parlayed his
credibility into a major role with
USA Swimmings Make a Splash
campaign that encourages minori-
ties to learn to swim.
Although a lot of my work is
positive in talking to kids, I wanted
to live, I wanted to enjoy what I had
gotten in 2008, he said.
So he made the rounds of the
celebrity circuit. A fashion end
outside of the pool, Jones posed for
magazine spreads, attended parties
and enjoyed the spoils that come
from winning a gold medal.
That led to some quiet years since
Beijing, with Jones not making the
team for last years world champi-
onships in Shanghai and then miss-
ing the championship nal of the 50
free at U.S. nationals.
I refocused this past year, he
said. A lot of the coaches from the
national team who were in Shanghai
said to me, We need you for this
relay, we need one of the best 100
freestylers in the U.S. to be ready
come London because the world is
getting faster, and Im happy I
could answer that call.
Lezak answered the bell from the
opposite side of the pool as Jones.
Stuck out in lane eight, the Olympic
relay star from Beijing finished
sixth in 48.88, grabbing the last spot
to be included in the relay mix.
This 36-year-old body was run-
down and somehow I closed my
eyes for a little bit, he said. Im
breathing to my right-hand side,
there is nobody there, and I actually
kind of visualized some things from
the past to help me get to the wall.
Lezak was lucky to be in the nal
at all, qualifying ninth-fastest in the
seminals but getting in when Ryan
Lochte scratched.
I was nervous, he said. It was a
big race for me, trained four years
for this, real hard. Nobody under-
stands how hard its been for me
except my wife and I. Its a pretty
good accomplishment to get in
there.
Lezak and his wife, Danielle,
have had two sons since 2008, when
he saved Michael Phelps bid for
eight gold medals in Beijing with a
stunning last leg of the 400 free
relay to overtake French star Alain
Bernard.
Hes somebody denitely good
to have on the team, Phelps said.
We are going to have to do a lot of
work for that relay. This is some
kind of start. Having the experience
that Jason has, hopefully he can
help some of the younger guys get
up.
Lezak has come full circle, mak-
ing his last Olympic team on a relay,
just like he made his rst in 2000. In
between, he swam in individual
events and owns a total of seven
Olympic medals, including four
golds.
Its a great feeling because Ive
learned a lot, and hopefully I can be
a team leader and help these guys
swim fast, he said.
Also earning spots in the relay
pool were Matt Grevers (third),
Ricky Berens (fourth), and Jimmy
Feigen (fth).

SAN JOSE Jordyn Wieber usu-
ally doesnt worry too much about
rankings.
This is one meet, however, where
she really, really wants to nish rst.
The reigning world champion is
halfway to the London Games after
breezing through the rst night of
the Olympic trials Friday. The win-
ner of the two-day trials gets the
lone automatic spot on the ve-
woman team, and Wieber has the
lead over Gabby Douglas after turn-
ing in the only clean performance of
the night.
It would be a huge honor to take
that top spot, Wieber said. I try not
to think about standings, but at the
same time, everyone wants that
guaranteed spot.
Wieber scored 15.05 or better on
every event and nished with 61.7
points. She goes into Sunday nights
competition with a 0.3-point lead
over Douglas, who had to work out
of a hole after making a big error on
uneven bars, her rst event.
I do want it very badly but Im
trying not to think about first,
Douglas said. I need to think about
polishing up my skills.
Shes not the only one.
Aly Raisman, normally rock
steady, nished a distant third at
60.3 after a big wobble on balance
beam and going out of bounds on
floor exercise, where she is the
reigning world bronze medalist.
Kyla Ross landed her vault on her
backside. McKayla Maroney fell off
both uneven bars and balance beam.
And it was another rough night for
reigning Olympic champion Nastia
Liukin.
Liukin knows she needs to put up
huge scores on uneven bars to have
any shot at the team, and has yet to
do it. Clearly out of gas near the end
of her routine, she stalled on a hand-
stand on the upper bar and, as the
crowd groaned, her legs folded over.
She managed to stay on, but it cost
whatever momentum she had left.
She didnt get anywhere near the
height she needed for her dismount,
plopping onto the mat.
Her score of 14.05 was good
enough only for 10th on bars.
Of course any athlete will tell
you when they dont have a great
performance, especially when its at
Olympic trials, its disappointing,
Liukin said. But at the same time
you have to come back out there and
(show) that you are a ghter and
youre not just going to give up.
Wieber is the favorite for the all-
around title in London, having won
all but one yes, one all-around
competition since 2008. But she has
to get there rst, and she started pil-
ing up the points from the minute
she stepped on the oor. She showed
big improvements on uneven bars,
where shes had some trouble
recently. She was so smooth and
controlled she appeared to oat as
she moved between the bars, and
there was a breezy condence to her
release move.
She landed her upgraded dis-
mount with such ease it was as if
shed been doing it for years, the
only movement coming from coach
John Geddert, who hopped across
the oor pumping his sts in cele-
bration.
While balance beam tripped up
Raisman and Ross, Wieber may as
well have been in a parking lot for as
easily as she made her tricks look on
the 4-inch wide slab thats 4 feet off
the ground. She landed one of her
aerial skills on one foot, slowly
sweeping the other along the side of
the beam. Just watching her twisting
back somersault is enough to make
you dizzy, but she landed it perfect-
ly and moved right onto her next
trick.
She ended her night with a rous-
ing oor routine that may as well
have been a victory lap. Floor is the
one event the stoic Wieber lets her
personality show, and she was even
sassier than normal as she strutted
and pranced through her dance
moves. She stuck the landings of her
tumbling runs so emphatically you
could hear it throughout the arena.
I just loved the way she went out
and attacked it, Geddert said. She
had some issues so theres room for
improvement and its my job to
point that out. I dont think weve
ever had a meet where I didnt say,
There are things to improve. Were
still waiting for the perfect meet.
Douglas has emerged as Wiebers
biggest rival, reminiscent of the bat-
tle between Liukin and Shawn
Johnson four years ago. But she
couldnt overcome a mistake on her
very rst event.
Going up last on uneven bars, she
lost her rhythm midway through the
routine and stalled on a pirouette.
She stayed motionless for several
seconds, gripping the bar tightly
with her hands and using every bit
of muscle she had not to fall off.
Man, I was using every single
muscle, Douglas said. I just pulled
it out of nowhere. That was God.
And someone blowing (at) me from
the stands.
She hung on somehow and com-
pleted the rest of her routine, but her
15.250 was well below her usual
score. She also had a big wobble on
balance beam.
But Douglas rallied on oor exer-
cise, posting the second-best score
of the night with a routine that was
worth every penny of the fans tick-
et.

the HP Pavilion back. In 2007, the world
watched her win the national championship on
the very oor where ve new dreams will
come true following Sundays nal at the 2012
U.S. Olympic Trials.
Johnson knows that euphoric feeling very
well, too. A year after capturing the countrys
top individual honor, she took off to Beijing
and the 2008 Olympics where her team
brought back silver. And so, perhaps elding
questions about what happens next in a place
that once belonged to her heightens the nostal-
gia and makes it that much more difcult to
hide hints of discomfort.
At ease with sponsors, media
Dont get it twisted though. Johnson is good
at this promotion/media thing. On Wednesday,
she was in San Jose announcing a $75,000
grant from Procter & Gamble to USA
Gymnastics sports youth fund which encour-
ages kids ages 6 to 16 to engage in physical t-
ness through training, exercise and nutrition
awareness.
Its really just giving a kid the opportunity
to nd an outlet to physical activity, exercise,
nutrition, she said. And sports have meant
the world to me throughout my entire life so
being able to partner with them in this is real-
ly close to my heart. It can potentially reach up
to a million kids, so I feel like Im hopefully
make a difference.
Hopefully is the key word. Chatting with
Johnson, you get the sense that every day out-
side the sport is a learning experience, and part
of that experience is guring how to be con-
dent outside of gymnastics. On the bars,
beams, vault and oor, condence oozed out
of Johnson. Now as a retired star, Johnson
admitted that quality is slowly working it way
back into form.
I was marketed because I was a competing
athlete going to the Olympics, Johnson said.
And when I decided to retire, I was no longer
competing to go to the Olympics. I understood
that the people who marketed me and signed
me potentially could not want me anymore,
which I respected, its the business side of
things. I balled like a baby the rst time I
called my sponsor and instead of them saying,
Thank you, but we cant work with you any-
more, they said, Thank you and wed like to
work with you more. And I did, I balled like a
baby for a few days.
Injury forces her hand
Oh, dreaded knee, were it not for you, a con-
versation with Johnson would revolve around
whether she had what it takes to fend off the
young guns of the sport in a bid to make it to
London this weekend.
I feel like if I had to personally make the
decision [to retire] I never would have,
Johnson said. You get into a momentum and
a lifestyle, its what I was used to and com-
fortable with. So I dont think I would have
ever closed the door on my own. Having an
injury, my knee and my health closed it for me
is the only way I would have gotten out of the
sport. Its kind of refreshing.
Not that Johnson is lying when she says its
refreshing, but there is a noticeable dip in her
tone like it really is but she feels a certain
level of guilt for it being that way.
I havent really had time to think about any-
thing which is not a bad problem to have,
Johnson said. I was ready and prepared to
pack up and go to college because Im not
competing anymore so I didnt think people
would really want me. But, no, Ive just been
working and I love it.
Dreams will be realized, crushed
Big moments fueled Johnson during her
career and this weekend in San Jose promises
to hold the same for ve gymnasts.
These girls are like machines. Not much is
going through their heads except for training,
Johnson said. But I can tell you, it is on the
forefront of their minds that this competition is
the only thing standing in the way of their
dream and if they dont do well here they can
potentially not be on that (Olympic) team. Its
a scary feeling, it feels so close yet so far and
theyre just praying that they make it there.
Johnson isnt far removed from having her
once-prayer answered. The thought of it helps
her ash the biggest smile of the afternoon.
Can you imagine in a second your entire
lifes dream is coming true? she said. Its a
speechless, incredibly overwhelming moment.
I remember I was standing on the oor, con-
fetti was falling from the ceiling and holding
owers and holding a medal and being told
youre on the team. Its like a fairy tale
moment. All the blood, sweat, tears and sacri-
ce was worth it. There is no greater feeling.
I think in selecting a team you need to
select girls that get along, Johnson said in
scouting the 2012 hopefuls. I think its one of
the most important things because ultimately,
youre there as a team and those girls arent
going to have their family, not going to have
their friends there. Theyre going to have each
other. You need a strong sense of team spirit. I
think you can choose any of them. I dont
know. Thats whats hard. Its going to be a
heartbreaking moment seeing that team
announced because theres going to be 10 oth-
ers standing there whos dream doesnt come
true.
Johnsons dreams are slightly different now.
Mostly, you get the sense she wants to stay
busy until this initial wave of competitive nos-
talgia dissipates. Shell be in London as a cor-
respondent for P&G behind the scenes
when shes always been the scene. Its a con-
cept she isnt completely sold on just yet. But
who can blame her? When youre used to y-
ing, sometimes the ground just wont do.

the fence in right-center eld. Cacchiones
drive plated the rst two Alpine runs of the
game. Matt Gursky and Bradley Stillman each
scored a pair of runs for Alpine in the win.
Cacchione picked up the win, pitching two
innings of no-hit ball and striking out three.
Miles Conrad and Gursky each pitched an
inning of shutout ball as well. The three com-
bined to strike out eight of 16 batters.
Andrighetto didnt hesitate to use his pitch-
ing staff or his bench. He wanted to get as
many players into the game and get them their
rst taste of all-star play to be sure they would
be ready in crunch time.
We pitch and play by committee,
Andrighetto said. We have four or five
[pitchers] that can get the job done. Were not
leaning on one guy.
Ravenswood was held to just three hits a
third-inning double by DeMaurier Jackson,
and singles from Latanoa Faletau and Ingold
Faleofa in the top of the fourth.
Ravenswoods best chance to score came in
the third inning. With two outs, Jackson dou-
bled to left eld and moved to third on a wild
pitch. Lei Aholelei followed with a walk to
put runners on the corners. With Noah
Bloomquist at the plate, Aholelei took off for
second, hoping to draw a throw which
Alpine obliged. As soon as Jackson saw the
catchers throw head for second, he took off
for home, only to be thrown out the plate on a
close play.
Following a scoreless rst, Alpine took the
lead for good in the bottom of the second,
scoring two unearned runs. Conrad and
Gursky each reached on errors and moved up
a base on a wild pitch. Cacchione drove both
home when he crushed a pitch to the right-
center eld gap. Despite a valiant effort by the
Ravenswood center elder, the ball just elud-
ed him and bounced over the fence for a two-
run double.
Alpine all but put the game away when it
sent 10 batters to the plate in the third inning,
scoring five runs on four hits and two
Ravenswood errors. The rst four batters of
the inning reached base, with Burns and
Goode each driving in a run. Goode ended up
scoring on a wild pitch and pinch hitter
Landon Smith drove in the nal run of the
inning with a triple to the fence in left eld.
Alpine ended the game early with three runs
in the fourth. In addition to Goodes two-run
blast, Stillman drove in Burns, who had led
off the inning with a double.
If my team played well and I played well,
wed get the win, Goode said.
With the loss, Ravenswood falls into the
consolation bracket and will play at 7 p.m.
Sunday at Highlands Park against a team to be
determined.
Parents and fans should be warned that the
city of San Carlos has set up barricades limit-
ing parking around the eld to residents of the
neighborhood. Most parking can be found at
Heather Elementary School, which requires a
short walk to the eld.

LAS VEGAS Wheelers, dealers, poker pros
and CEOs are putting up $1 million apiece for a
seat at a rst-ever World Series of Poker event
offering the richest top prize in poker history.
Forty-eight players are expected for the three-
day no-limit Texas Holdem event starting
Sunday at the Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino in Las
Vegas. It ends Tuesday with one winner likely to
take home more than $18 million, plus a champi-
on bracelet.
I think the drama here is the size of the stakes
and the eclectic mix of characters sitting at the
table, Mitch Garber, chief executive of tourna-
ment host Caesars Interactive Entertainment, said
Friday. You have everything billionaires, a
Facebook millionaire, venture capitalists and
business people.
The event is called The Big One for One Drop.
The international water advocacy charity
OneDrop.org will receive an 11.1 percent portion
of the buy-in. That could amount to more than $5
million.

A
couple of weeks ago, one of my
oldest classmates celebrated his
18th birthday. Upon seeing him
shortly after the big day, I
asked him how hed cho-
sen to commemorate his
ofcial entrance into
adulthood and he
answered with pride,
telling me that hed
picked up a lottery ticket,
purchased a pack of ciga-
rettes and had registered
to vote. He hadnt been particularly interested
in any of these opportunities before his birth-
day, but was now eager to take part in them
for the sole reason that he could. My friend
enthusiastically elaborated on all three of
these experiences for several minutes while I
was stuck imagining him in a voting booth. I
couldnt believe that my friend, someone Id
known since we were 10 years old, was
going to take part in deciding the future of
our country in November and it made me
wonder if he (or anyone his age, including
myself when the time comes) is ready to
make that decision. Im sure my friend
knows some differences between President
Obama and Mitt Romney. He would denite-
ly be able to point them out in photos and
undoubtedly knows which political party to
which they belong but is that enough
information to have a say in who should lead
the country? Itll have to be enough, because
he, along with millions of other 18-year-olds
in the United States will vote in their rst
election this fall.
I have to admit I spent some time wonder-
ing if there should be a test one must pass
before they vote. Those who wanted to vote
would have to be somewhat knowledgeable
on the economic and social policies of the
candidates up for election or would at least

Steven Soderbergh makes
movies about sexy subjects,
then strips away the sexiness
about them. He is fascinated
by process, often to a clinical
extent.
In recent years this has been
true of The Girlfriend
Experience (starring real-life
porn star Sasha Grey as a
high-priced Manhattan call
girl), Contagion (about a
viral outbreak that claims
lives worldwide) and
Haywire (featuring mixed-
martial artist Gina Carano as a
special-ops agent seeking
revenge for a betrayal). Even
the glitzy, star-studded
Oceans 11, one of
Soderberghs most pleasingly
escapist lms, takes its time
laying out every detail of its
ambitious Las Vegas casino
heist.

have to be able to identify the politicians
stance on a few legislative issues. I consid-
ered this voting qualication test for a few
minutes before realizing that, as corny as it
sounds, turning 18 should be about making
ones own decisions regardless of whether
these decisions are informed or not.
As the weeks go by, friend after friend
with summer birthdays become legal adults
and I continually nd it difcult to believe
that the people I hang out with can now start
a 401K plan, adopt a child or go to federal
prison among the rest of the privileges
that come with turning 18. The legal age of
adulthood in the United States is a topic
thats often debated and discussed in context
of the legal driving and drinking ages. The
selection of 18 as the ofcial end of ones
childhood seems a bit arbitrary, but I cant
think of an age that wouldnt be. I know that
when I turn 18 in February, I wont feel qual-
ied to make any adult decisions. In fact,
theres no doubt that my parents will still
have to help me do my laundry, but Im look-
ing forward to being thrust into the adult
world nonetheless because I feel as though
thats the only way one can begin to learn.
Although 18 is not the age of the completion
of physical or mental development nor the
end of ones teenage years, the age should be
considered the time one ofcially starts to
learn how to handle the responsibility of
adulthood instead of when one should auto-
matically be considered completely mature.
Despite the responsibilities and rights
given to legal adults, my friends whose birth-
days have passed have agreed that there isnt
much, if any, of a notable difference marked
by their 18th year. They still live at home,
listen to their parents and even watch the
occasional cartoon. For now, I know the new
adults around me will spend far more time in
the months leading up to the election
engaged in childlike activities than they will
brushing up on their political knowledge or
trying to gure out how credit scores work,
but I cant say that Ill be any different when
my own birthday comes around.

they not with guys like Channing Tatum,
Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer and
Joe Manganiello strutting on stage in barely-
there costumes? But Soderbergh and writer
Reid Carolin take us behind the scenes and
linger over the minutiae of these performers
daily lives. They go thong shopping. They
rehearse their routines. They lift weights
backstage. And they count their dollar bills
when Its Raining Men has stopped blaring
from the sound system and their work is done.
Even the after-hours hook-ups with liquored-
up ladies from the audience feel like one more
obligatory step, like brushing your teeth
before going to bed.
It all seems glamorous and thrilling at rst
for Pettyfers character, Adam, who becomes
known as The Kid. A 19-year-old neophyte in
this neon-colored world, he serves as our
wide-eyed guide once the more established
Mike (Tatum) recruits him to be a dancer at
the Club Xquisite male revue. Comparisons to
Boogie Nights, both for the structure and
the sexual subject matter, are inevitable. But
Soderbergh, who also shot and edited the lm
under his usual pseudonyms, intentionally
avoids the kind of high style and histrionics
that marked Paul Thomas Andersons lurid
look at the porn industry in the 70s.
A more apt point of comparison would be
the original Sex & the City movie; itll have
a similar appeal for straight women and gay
men in equal measure. This is a movie thats
tailor-made for groups of friends to get
together and giggle and ogle at the spectacle
of it all. And it is a lot of fun theres no
shame, were all friends here but its also
more substantial than you might expect, and
more mundane.
Tatum, whos also a producer on the lm,
understands the allure of this lifestyle: He
lived it when he was The Kids age, briey
working as a male stripper before breaking
into acting, and Magic Mike is kinda-sorta
inspired by that time. Anyone whos seen
Step Up, the 2006 movie that put him on the
map, knows what a gifted dancer he is. But
here, hes just mesmerizing: condent, cre-
ative, acrobatic and, above all, seductive.
Cause thats the whole point.
Magic Mike follows one long booze-
infused summer as Mike, The Kid and their
co-stars work the ladies while their boss, strip-
per-turned-club-owner Dallas
(McConaughey), makes plans to expand to
Miami. This is an excellent fit for
McConaughey, whos doing some of the best
work of his career lately between this,
Bernie and the upcoming thriller Killer
Joe. All the swagger is there and the per-
formance does have some clever nods to his
off-screen party-boy persona but hes also
willing to show a darker and more dangerous
side as he gets older, as if he isnt so interest-
ed anymore in making us like him. And that
actually makes him more likable.
Also showing an intriguing presence is
newcomer Cody Horn as The Kids older sis-
ter, Brooke, who lets him sleep on her couch
and tries in vain to help him nd a real job.
She has a strong but laid-back presence, and
she remains the no-nonsense voice of reason
when The Kids hard-partying tendencies start
spinning out of control.
Yes, Magic Mike is a bit of a formulaic
cautionary tale about the perils of having too
much, too soon. And the character whos the
catalyst for The Kids inevitable downfall,
played by Riley Keough, is barely introduced
and never feels eshed out enough as a legiti-
mate threat.
Mike helps keep this fantasy world ground-
ed in truth; a self-described entrepreneur, he
strips and works construction jobs, and
details cars all in the hopes of saving
enough money to start his own custom furni-
ture business. Theres nothing magical or even
sexy about that: its just the cold, hard reality
of our time.
Come for the beefcake, stay for the eco-
nomics lesson.
Magic Mike, a Warner Bros. release, is
rated R for pervasive sexual content, brief
graphic nudity, language and some drug use.
Running time: 110 minutes. Three stars out of
four.
Tom Cruise and
Katie Holmes divorcing
LOS ANGELES It always seemed more
than a little weird, didnt it? The whirlwind
romance of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
with its very public, very emphatic procla-
mations of love. It all occurred too quickly
and too loudly to seem real.
Now, after nearly six years of marriage,
Holmes is divorcing
Cruise. She filed the
papers on Thursday, said
Cruises lawyer Bert
Fields. The two share a
daughter, 6-year-old Suri,
whos been featured in
celebrity media nearly as
frequently as her parents.
But its telling that
even in addressing their
split in the typically vague
fashion of famous people,
Cruise still refers to
Holmes by the name he
called her: Kate, as if to
distance her from the
adorable Katie audiences
came to know and love
from the teen soap
Dawsons Creek.
Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is
deeply saddened and is concentrating on his
three children, Cruises representative,
Amanda Lundberg, told the Associated
Press. Please allow them their privacy to
work this out.

District discriminates against students of
Chinese descent in enrollment, by holding
them to different standards for demon-
strating residency or guardianship than
students of other races or national origins,
according to the U.S. Department of
Education spokesman.
Those who have met the families who
lodged the complaint explained it stems from
students who live in Millbrae and had hoped
to attend Mills High School. Instead, students
were sent to Capuchino High School.
The school assignment policy generally
calls for students to attend the school of resi-
dency. Students living in Millbrae and those
who went through the Millbrae Elementary
School District, for example, are most often
assigned to attend Mills. There are exceptions
to that, however, said Kirk Black, associate
superintendent of human resources and
administrative services, speaking generally
about the policy.
For instance, students may have requested
and been approved for a transfer, have a sib-
ling or senior privilege for a school outside
of their normal assignment, to be part of a
program like English language development
or special that are not available at all
schools, or may be transferred to make up
units. School capacity issues can also play
into assignment, he said.
The district declined to give further details
but did provide a statement.
The Ofce for Civil Rights is investigating
a complaint, and the district is fully cooperat-
ing with the investigation. We cannot, howev-
er, comment on the substance of an ongoing
investigation, according to the statement.

WEEKEND JOURNAL 19

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR
CORRESPONDENT
RIDING A WILD RIVER IN
GLACIER NATIONAL PARK.
Bonecrusher. Could Be Trouble. Jaws.
Certainly not terms normally associated
with vacation. But, after all, vacation
should mean getting your mind off the
day to day, and when you white-water raft
on one of Montanas famous wild rivers,
these colorfully named rapids mean you
have a whole lot more to think about than
that stack of paperwork back on your
desk. As your raft picks up speed heading
down a spectacular stretch of the Middle
Fork of the Flathead River along the edge
of Glacier National Park, your guides
admonitions about what to do if you end
up in the river instead of on it make it
abundantly clear that what lies ahead is
not Splash Mountain and that the churn-
ing, unpredictable liquid roller coaster is
about to get up close and personal. And
what a rush it is. Not to worry (much),
just get a tight grip on your paddle, do
what your guide tells you, and, well, see
you at the end of the run.
Explaining why he loves being a river
guide on the Middle Fork of the Flathead,
Joe Gallagher said, Because of the look
in a childs eyes when they hit the rst
rapid of their life; because of water so
clear you can see 30 feet down in late
summer and so cold that even on the
hottest days my customers eyes triple in
size when they swim; and because of the
sound of the river, the muted murmur of
the slow stretches and the pulsing thunder
of the rapids these sounds resonate
somewhere deep. The song of all things
that run to the sea.
Great Northern Whitewater Raft &
Resort offers river excursions from two-
hours to several days long, including var-
ious horse ride, y shing and rafting
combinations. Highway 2. West Glacier,
Mont. greatnorthernresort.com or (800)

MOUNTAIN BIKING IN THE
ROCKIES. Want to do some mountain
biking in REAL mountains? Well, they
dont get any more real than the Rockies,
and the Whitesh Trail, near the charm-
ing town of Whitesh (pop. 6357), just
west of Glacier National Park, is an invit-
ing network of pathways winding through
thick forests opening onto scenic panora-
mas. Bring your y rod for an off trail
stop to cast for bluegill, bass and bullhead
trout at a secluded mountain lake. Great
Northern Cycles Owner Craig Prather
said, Whitesh is decorated with 100s of
miles of classic pacic northwest single-
track. Positioned right on the Continental
divide we enjoy a variety of terrain from
dense old growth cedar to challenging
subalpine ridges and peaks. Our newly
constructed Whitesh trail serves as a
beacon of a perfectly constructed sustain-
able trail ... with its 19 miles of wide,
rolling well stacked loops, it easily
rewards the novice and advanced rider as
well. Prather and his staff can outt you
with just the right rental bike and get you
on your way fast like pancakes. Great

HISTORIC BELTON CHALET.
After a day on the river or on the trails,
ease into a chair in the dining room of
the Arts and Crafts style Belton Chalet.
A National Historic Landmark, Belton
Chalet was built by the Great Northern
Railway in 1910 to promote the
American Alps in the newly opened
Glacier National Park. Todays wait-
resses wear streamlined black and white
uniforms with broad cinch belts, a nod
to the Swiss costumes that outtted the
original staff. Chef Melissa Mangold
blends ingredients from local farmers
and ranchers to create specialties like
Montana Delmonico (Montana raised
Wagyu beef topped with gorgonzola
butter, over smashed potatoes),
Montana meatloaf (buffalo meatloaf
wrapped in hickory-smoked bacon,
served with port wine mushroom demi,
roasted garlic mashed and savory
creamed corn), and tamale tart (corn
masa layered with black beans, sweet
potato and plantains topped with shred-
ded Chihuahua cheese, nished with a
roasted pablano cream, peptitas and
lacinato kale). And in this part of
Montana, its all about huckleberries, so
save room for some huckleberry ice
cream. Belton Chalet. 12575 Highway 2

GETTING TO GLACIER COUN-
TRY. United Airlines offers seasonal
direct flights from San Francisco to
Missoula, Mont., while Allegiant offers
year-round direct ights from Oakland to
Missoula and Oakland to Glacier Park
International Airport. Amtraks Empire
Builder stops at the Belton station, across

Insurance Agents are NOT created Equally!
M
any Homeowners believe that all Insurance Agents provide the same
services. Nothing could be further from the truth. Many Insurance
Agents Over-Insure their customers in order to make a larger commission;
others Under-Insure, in order to offer a sellable lower price.
Homeowners need to have the right coverage or they end up ling claims
that are not covered by their insurance plan, or pay for insurance they
dont need. Thats why you need a proven expert.
All Home Pros screens local Insurance Agents in order to nd the best of
the best. We work with many companies but we hand pick each individual
Agent based on their knowledge, integrity and attention to detail. You
can rest assured that your family and your assets are protected and your
service is top of the line.
When choosing a reliable and outstanding Insurance Agent or Broker, Trust

that was necessary in repealing Obamacare,
he said, adding that the justices did not get
that job done.
Several Republicans seized on a portion of
Chief Justice John Roberts majority opinion
that said the centerpiece of the law, a require-
ment to purchase insurance, was constitution-
al because it is based on Congress power to
impose a tax. Those who will end up paying
the heaviest burden for not buying govern-
ment-mandated insurance wont be the
wealthiest Americans, but the very middle
class families the president claims to defend,
said Senate Republican leader Mitch
McConnell of Kentucky.
The White House said that was an argument
it was happy to have. Presidential press sec-
retary Jay Carney said Obama has signed leg-
islation cutting middle class taxes repeatedly,
that Republicans want to extend existing
income tax cuts for the wealthy and then add
another $5 trillion...that would dispropor-
tionately benet the same group.
At the same time, the administration
announced the latest in a series to steps to
implement a law that already has curbed
insurance company abuses and cut costs for
seniors with high prescription drug costs.
Ofcials said another round of nancing was
available for states to set up health insurance
exchanges, the one-stop markets for con-
sumers scheduled to open in 2014.
Polls nd Obama and Romney in a close
race four months before the election, with the
economy the nations overriding issue. The
battle for control of the Senate is also uncer-
tain, and one day after the courts ruling, the
principal fallout was political.
Romney, Obama and congressional candi-
dates in both parties raised campaign money
from the ruling, in which Roberts unexpected-
ly joined four more liberal justices to uphold
the laws core component a requirement
that nearly all Americans purchase health
insurance beginning in 2014.
The Republican-controlled House is plan-
ning to vote in a little more than a week to
repeal the law. But that is a symbolic vote,
designed to show faith with opponents of
what the GOP scornfully calls Obamacare.
Party officials also hope to force some
Democrats into a difcult vote on legislation
that has never been popular with the public.
The repeal measure is doomed in the Senate,
where Democrats hold a majority.
Recognizing as much, Republicans were
turning their attention to 2013 as their next
realistic opportunity to erase legislation that
they say gives government control of health at
the same time it raises taxes, cuts Medicare
and swells decits.
One thing is clear: we need the majority in
the Senate, Senate Republican Leader Mitch
McConnell of Kentucky wrote in a fundrais-
ing email to supporters. Every path to repeal
depends on it.
A 60-vote majority is normally required to
overcome adamant opposition to legislation in
the Senate, but under limited circumstances, a
mere majority can sufce. Democrats took
advantage of that when they pushed the health
care law to passage in 2010 when they con-
trolled 59 seats. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., told
reporters, I think with a ... majority in the
Senate, Republicans could do the same
things.
The GOP currently has 47 seats in the 100-
member Senate, and needs to gain three for
effective control if Romney wins the presi-
dential election. Any repeal scenario also
assumes the Republicans maintain their
House majority in the fall.
A little more than 24 hours after the ruling,
Obama, Romney and congressional leaders
quickly adjusted.
One effect of the decision was to make
Romneys election essential for tea party-
aligned voters who fought his nomination in
winter and spring but now need him in the
White House if there is to be any real hope of
repeal.
In a fundraising pitch, the Tea Party Patriots
addressed both Romney and House Speaker
John Boehner, R-Ohio., asserting the
American people are putting you on notice.
We will not rest until this law is overturned.
The courts decision also injected the health
care issue into congressional races.
Crossroads GPS, an independent group
aligned with Republicans, introduced an ad in
North Dakota noting that Democratic senato-
rial candidate Heidi Heitkamp endorsed
Obamacare. The commercial says the law
raises taxes, cuts Medicare and gives federal
bureaucrats the power to restrict seniors
care. It encourages viewers to lobby her to
swing behind the repeal effort.

The same held true in District Four where the
two maintained the same positions Slocum
received 4,557 votes and Masur 4,125 fol-
lowed by Kirsten Keith, Carlos Romero,
Memo Morantes, Andy Cohen and Ernie
Schmidt.
District Four includes Redwood City,
Menlo Park and East Palo Alto and the unin-
corporated areas of North Fair Oaks and Oak
Knoll.
Slocum said he is gratied to have carried
both and all cities but Menlo Park where Keith
secured a majority. With Keith now a support-
er, Slocum hopes that will help him in those
precincts this fall.
Masur said she is also happy to see such
great support in the district but that all of her
backing countwide is important.
As the top two in this race with neither
grabbing more than 50 percent, Slocum and
Masur will have a runoff in November. In that
same election, county voters will be asked if
they prefer to keep the status quo or shift to
district elections.
A lawsuit set for an August trial against the
county may also play a role. The suit on
behalf of six county residents argues the exist-
ing voting system is inequitable to minorities
because Latinos and Asians each compromise
approximately 25 percent of the countys pop-
ulation, but only one Latino has held a seat on
the Board of Supervisors since 1995 and no
Asians.
The countys elections process has long
been debated between those who say all vot-
ers should be able to weigh in on elected of-
cials who represent all residents and oppo-
nents who argue it causes a fundraising bur-
den for candidates who must throw their net
wider for money and votes.
Slocum supports district elections and said
he supports the boards decision to let voters
settle the question. However, he added that he
understands the countywide premise because
the boards decisions affect more than just a
narrow slice of constituents.
Masur previously supported district contests
but as a candidate believes at-large elections
forces one to hear from people countywide
and gain new perspectives.
I do support the board putting it on the bal-
lot. Its time to do that for sure and Im very
curious to see what people think, she said.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Instead of treating certain

games -- you might take things seriously and take
some foolish risks. Stick to your comfort zone.

abilities of others, but just because you cant do
some things that others can, dont credit them with
bigger assets than they have. It would unnecessarily
make you feel inadequate.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Dont spread things
on too thick, and make sure you have all the facts
before you speak up. Persons who usually take you
at your word might challenge what you tell them.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If you fnd yourself in
the position of making a choice between paying off
an old obligation and buying something new, you
know it would be smarter to rid yourself of debt.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be careful,
because even those who are usually supportive of
you might not stand up for you. Plus, your enemies
are likely to be more actively working against you
than usual.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Make a list of your
duties and try to eliminate them one at a time. If you
allow things to pile up on you, chances are you will
lose your footing.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- All it will do is make
both parties angry if you allow yourself to get caught
in the middle of two warring friends. Stay out of it, no
matter whom you think is right or wrong.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Success is possible,
but only if you rely more upon yourself and less upon
Lady Luck. Unfortunately, when youll need her the
most, she might be cozying up to your opponent.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Tell it like it is, even
if you think it might put you in a bad light in some
peoples eyes. If you attempt to color the facts, it
could make things far worse in other ways.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You might not be as
sharp of a horse trader as the person youre doing
business with, so be extra careful. That individual
may be trying to take the whole farm.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Since you do have a
natural ability to easily see both sides of an issue,
you cant help but use it. However, if you become too
obsessed with weighing and balancing everything,
you could be rendered ineffective.
