A 33-year-old Pacifica man stabbed to death at a storage facility in San Mateo two months ago was likely killed in an act of selfdefense, prosecutors said yesterday. Justin Lockwood was found dead by police June 7 at All-American Self Storage on East Third Avenue and Detroit Drive at about 1:30 p.m.

The only surviving witness said it was selfdefense and a weapon belonging to the victim was found on scene, Deputy District Attorney Al Giannini said yesterday. There is no evidence saying otherwise. The defendant has also said it was an act of self-
defense, Giannini said. The District Attorneys Office has not closed the le yet, however, to allow detectives in San Mateo more time to build a case against the unnamed suspect. We are continuing to collect evidence and are working with the district attorney to assess this case, San Mateo Police Chief Susan Manheimer wrote in an email to the Daily Journal yesterday. But the evidence given to prosecutors so far
has been treated with skepticism, Giannini said. The evidence seems to support the victim attacked the defendant and that he was stabbed in self-defense. Regrettably, we are not able to move forward with the case at this time, Giannini said yesterday. San Mateo police said Lockwood and others had good reason to be at the storage facil-

Fire officials report numerous thefts of brass sprinkler fittings
Fire ofcials in Redwood City warned property owners that brass ttings are being stolen from sprinkler systems and standpipes throughout the city. Fire Marshal Jim Palisi said the metal ttings are critical re department connections that allow reghters to pump water into re systems in the event of a structure re. If reghters respond to an emergency and the ttings are damaged or stolen, the departments ability to ght a re is severely hampered, Palisi said. If the re department connections are missing upon our arrival, immediate operational changes must occur, which slows our rescue and re suppression efforts, Palisi said. At least 18 standpipe xtures have been stolen from locations around Redwood City and San Carlos, probably to be resold as scrap metal, Palisi said. These things are usually made of brass, bronze or iron, Palisi said. They probably get stolen late at night.
The Belmont City Council voted last night to keep its Redevelopment Agency alive but must rst transfer about $2.3 million in RDA funds to the state this year along with another $550,000 next year to fund local schools and special districts. Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation earlier this year, Assembly Bill X1 26, to disband all of the states 400 redevelopment agencies by Oct. 1 in an effort to trim from a nearly $19 billion decit. He 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 Belmont Redevelopment Agencys total outstanding debt obligation through 2024 is projected to be roughly $157 million with about a third of that committed to pass-throughs to the county and local school districts. Last night, Councilman Dave Warden asked what the citys RDA obligations would be today if the city had to pay off all of its debt related to
redevelopment now rather than paying it off over time through 2024. The citys Finance Director Thomas Fil could not give that answer last night, but said the gure would be available at the councils next meeting. While Belmont agreed to the conditions last night, 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. Under AB X1 26, a citys redevelopment agency would cease to exist Oct. 1. The city can continue to make scheduled payments and honor obligations. In addition, after the dissolution, the agencys assets would be reviewed and possibly sold. Proceeds from any sale would go to the county which would send it to schools and other agencies. Under AB X1 27, the redevelopment agency would agree to make large payments to the county and schools but can use the remaining funds to continue working. AB X1 27 provides an alternative redevelopment program, allowing an opportunity for redevelopment agencies to opt-in and continue to operate and function. The bill also commits the agency to make payments to school districts and
special districts called continuation payments. Redevelopment agencies are funded through tax money but do not levy taxes. When a rundown neighborhood is revamped, the property values increase. The increase in property tax collected, called tax increment, then goes to the respective redevelopment agency. Foster City, Millbrae and a few other cities in the county have already agreed to keep redevelopment activities alive by passing continuation ordinances. In doing so, Foster City will have to pay the state about $6.2 million this year and Millbrae about $1.85 million. Until enactment of a continuation ordinance, redevelopment agencies are prohibited from entering into new agreements or indebtedness, except as necessary to carry out enforceable obligations entered into prior to June 29 of this year. Enforceable obligations are dened as bonds, loans, payments to the federal government or imposed by state law, judgments or settlements and contracts, including contracts necessary for the continued administration or operation of the agency. In other business: The council discussed amendments to the citys tree ordinance and will take the issue up for a second reading at its next meeting.
Brussels sprouts, honey and lumber produced in San Mateo County rose in value over the last year while overall agricultural earnings fell 3.7 percent, according to the countys 2010 Agricultural Crop Report released Tuesday. The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors accepted the report following a presentation by Agricultural Commissioner Fred Crowder. The ower and nursery trade, which makes up 83 percent of San Mateo Countys farming industry, saw a 5.3 percent drop in earnings last year, reecting the recession, Crowder wrote. From artichokes to pumpkins, earnings were slightly down in most fruit, vegetable and grain categories, the only exception was the regions Brussels sprout crop which increased in value by $474,000. The overall slide in earnings was signi-
cantly less than the 8.3 decrease farmers saw in 2009, and some niche producers saw healthy increases in revenue. Lumber production earnings tripled from last year, the result of harvest practices that rotate between San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties; 2010 was a year with greater logging in San Mateo County, according to the report. The countys beekeepers also earned more with slightly smaller production, as the price of honey jumped to $7.86 per pound from last years $4.79. Honey has been in short supply,
which might be a reection of weather, the impacts of mites, pathogens and the loss of foraging ground. Greenhouse-grown potted plants edged up about 1 percent in value, a promising sign for the countys biggest crop sector, according Crowder. Because weve seen such declines over the past three years, just holding steady could be considered progress, Crowder said. In some areas weve lost quite a bit, and in some weve picked up. But in our major crops areas were just trying to hold our own.

Fire damages portable classroom at Belle Haven school
Fireghters battled a blaze at a school in Menlo Park Tuesday morning, a re ofcial said. The re, which burned in a double-wide trailer behind Belle Haven Elementary School at 415 Ivy Drive, was reported by a neighbor at 8:49 a.m., Menlo Park re Chief Harold Schapelhouman said. Fireghters had the one-alarm blaze under control by 9 a.m., and no one was injured. The trailer is one of several portable classrooms in the rear of the campus, and is used for preschool and as an ofce space for an after-school program, Schapelhouman said. School was not in session, so no children were in danger, he said. The trailer and its contents, which included computers and other ofce equipment, were seriously damaged and will most likely not be usable. If the trailer cant be repaired and we dont believe it can replacement is an option, preferably before school starts, he said. He said school ofcials estimated the re caused about $150,000 to $200,000 in damage. The cause of the re is under investigation, and Schapelhouman said it was most likely accidental. according to police. The robbery occurred in the 500 block of South Rengstorff Avenue at about 4:35 p.m. on Saturday, police said. The victim, a 57-year-old Mountain View woman, told police she had been walking when a man approached her and ripped her gold necklace from her neck. She said the suspect then got into the back of a green Nissan Quest and it drove away. Ofcers stopped the minivan near the intersection of Latham Street and Escuela Avenue, and one person got out of the car and ed on foot. Ofcers chased him until they lost him at an apartment complex at 1970 Latham St. During a search of the complex, police spoke with residents who said a man had entered their apartment and locked himself in their bathroom. A police dog also tracked the suspect to the unit, and ofcers arrested him. He was identied by police as 18-year-old Antonio SoteloLozano. The victims necklace was found inside Sotelo-Lozanos shoe, and the victim identied him as the man who had robbed her, police said. Sotelo-Lozano is also suspected in a similar robbery that occurred July 30 on Villa Street, police said. In that incident, the thief also ripped a gold necklace from a womans neck, then ed in a dark gray pickup truck.

distribution process, according to AAA Northern California. Californias average for a gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline is $3.78, which is unchanged since last months American Automobile Associations report on July 12. For perspective, thats 61 cents higher than Californias average price on this date last year. Among all 50 states, California is tied with Maine for the eighth highest state average price for regular, unleaded gasoline. Hawaii is rst and Connecticut is second. Both are the only states with averages over four dollars, according to AAA. Northern California gas prices are now averaging $3.79, up two cents from last month. In the San Francisco Bay Area, motorists can expect to pay an average price of $3.88, which is a 2-cent increase. The national average price of $3.65 is up by one cent, which is 88 cents more than the national price on this date last year, when it was $2.77, according to AAA. In San Mateo, AAA reported an increase of 2 cents to an average of $3.86 per gallon. Relatively weak demand for gasoline across the nation is also helping to push pump prices lower. Demand is one of many factors that influence investors buying behavior. As demand drops, oil and gas become less attractive investments, so buying slows and the per barrel oil price and the gasoline pump price drop. Currently, weak U.S. and Chinese manufacturing data are also tempering investors enthusiasm for buying, according to AAA.

WASHINGTON Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced Tuesday hes naming Sen. Patty Murray to co-chair a powerful super committee charged with nding more than $1 trillion in decit cuts this fall. Murray will be joined by Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass., and Max Baucus, D-Mont., on the panel, which was established last week by hard-fought legislation to increase the national debt. Murray, who is chairwoman of the committee to elect Democratic senators, is a longtime protector of Democratic priorities such as Medicare, Social Security and veterans benets, as are Kerry and Baucus. Reid, D-Nev., said in a statement that Murray has a depth of knowl-
edge on budget issues and demonstrated her ability to work across party lines. In naming the trio, Reid opted against picking Democrats like Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad of North Dakota or Dick Durbin of Illinois, who backed curbs on Medicare spending and Social Security benets as members of President Barack Obamas decit commission. Baucus also served on the commission but voted against the controversial recommendations put forward by its co-chairs, citing cuts to farm subsidies and a proposed increase in the gasoline tax. More signicant to me is who (Reid) didnt pick, said Keith Hennessey, a longtime former Senate GOP aide, citing Reids snub of Conrad, whos also part of a bipartisan Senate Gang of Six on the budget.

SACRAMENTO The turmoil on Wall Street has hit the nations largest public pension fund, which lost about $18 billion off the value of its stock portfolio from July 1 until Tuesdays market rebound. The losses for the California Public Employees Retirement System came just three weeks after it and Californias teacher pension fund each reported annual investment gains of more than 20 percent in scal year that ended June 30.
CalPERS ofcials said Tuesday they view the stock market turmoil as a chance to hunt for stocks at bargain prices and are maintaining a long-term investment view. In the near term, its not good; in the long term its an opportunity, CalPERS chief investment ofcer Joseph Dear said Tuesday in an early morning appearance on CNBC television. The market volatility, Dear said, is being driven by emotion about a weak economy and government debt, not an economic catastrophe like the credit freeze of 2008.
SACRAMENTO State lawmakers who have supported Californias ambitious high-speed rail project questioned whether the state can afford it Tuesday after a report showed sharply higher cost estimates to build the rst segment. A Democratic lawmaker who has backed the system in the past said the state should consider returning $3.5 billion in federal grants and halting the project unless the
California High-Speed Rail Authority lays out a clear path to nance, build and operate the system without leaving the states taxpayers on the hook for unexpected cost overruns. We really need to re-examine what were spending and what were going to get for it, said Sen. Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, who has promoted the concept of high-speed rail but more recently supported legislation to rein in the authority and change the way the project is governed.
CHICAGO Boy or girl? A simple blood test in mothers-to-be can answer that question with surprising accuracy at about seven weeks, a research analysis has found. Though not widely offered by U.S. doctors, gender-detecting blood tests have been sold online to consumers for the past few years. Their promises of early and accurate results prompted genetics researchers to take a closer look. They analyzed 57 published studies of gender testing done in rigorous research or academic settings though not necessarily the same methods or conditions used by direct-to-consumer rms. The authors say the results suggest blood tests like those studied could be a breakthrough for women at risk of having babies with certain diseases, who could avoid invasive procedures if they learned their fetus was a gender not affected by those illnesses. But the study raises concerns about couples using such tests for gender selection and abortion. Couples who buy tests from marketers should be questioned about how they plan to use the results, the study authors said. The analyzed test can detect fetal DNA in mothers blood. Its about 95 percent accurate at identifying gender when women are at least seven weeks pregnant more than one month before conventional methods. Accuracy of the testing increases as pregnancy advances, the researchers concluded.

Cellphone crackdown
Editor, I read with great interest the Aug. 5 Daily Journal article Burlingame police crack down on distracted drivers. Before nishing, I found myself saying aloud, Well if that isnt a case of the pot calling the kettle black, as I routinely witness police ofcers talking on cellphones while driving patrol vehicles. It was therefore no surprise, as I read further, that one motorist voiced this same thought to the ofcer who stopped her. It was also no surprise the ofcers regarded hers as the best story of the day, suggesting they were amused. Not a viable defense, but certainly a valid question. It stands to reason that, in lieu of excuses, police ofcers will justify their own distracted driving habits as being within the scope of duty. Unfortunately, the only people likely to believe this are about a dozen years younger than the minimum driving age. Certainly I understand that, in the course of his duty, a police ofcer is required (and trained) to multi-task behind the wheel very differently than us mere civilians. I nd it hard to believe the ofcer I saw today, arm out the open window and cellphone to his ear as he drove leisurely down California Drive in Burlingame, was hot on the trail of ... anything. If, by virtue of his training, his driving was not compromised, perhaps his attention and observation on patrol were. In my estimation, ofcers who talk on their cellphones while on patrol are derelict in their duty and are otherwise making the statement that they are above the laws they are sworn to enforce. Does the support that Captain Nakiso lends to his subordinate ofcers include looking the other way or, pursuant to common police practice, simply denying what we mere civilians see every day?
Abuse of authority
Editor, It does not matter if you are a radical liberal or an ultraconservative; the vast majority of Americans want a limited government for various reasons. Most Americans are neither right or left; we are right center. We want our government to be just and fair and not be intrusive into our daily lives. We have allowed our government to become illegal and abusive. Our Constitutions (state and federal) are the framework for our city councils and Washington, D.C. Our federal Constitution denes the governments powers and responsibilities and our federal Bill of Rights (The rest of the Constitution is just details). Article I Sections 8, 9 and 10 dene what Congress may do. Article IV Section 4 declares that every state must have a republican form of government (an executive branch, two legislative houses and a judicial branch). Article II Section 2 denes the powers of our president. The Bill of Rights (Amendments I through X) protects each state and citizen from the possibility of the legislative and executive branches abusing its powers. And each state has its own constitution which must conform with our federal Constitution. Our elective representatives have the limited powers granted by our Constitution, not to be construed to allow bureaucracies to impose regulations without the consent of Congress. This also includes limits on presidential executive orders. Executive orders should only apply for 30 days during which Congress may enact a law to continue the executive order. Otherwise such order would expire. It it the responsibility of every citizen to require our elected ofcials comply with these requirements. So please become active and informed. If our ofcials do not comply with the above it is your duty to elect new individuals. Governing a republic requires an educated (not indoctrinated) electorate.

he comments are varied, but there are always people who think somehow we are plotting for or against something when we select certain letters to the editor to print. I cant believe you printed that letter. Because you printed that letter, I will never read your paper again. Why dont you own the fact you posted a letter that is misleading. And my favorite: I will only use your paper now to pick up dog feces. While there is a selection process to how we print letters, it is not based on some sort of mission of ours to skew public opinion. They are simply letters to the editor (thats me) and we print them to reect the opinion of our readers, at least those who take the time to take up pen and paper, or place hands to keyboard, to write them. First of all, if I only printed letters to the editor I agreed with, there would be very few. Particularly the ones who call me or my reporters names. But people have the right to their opinion, and its important our pages reect the diverse points of view of our readers. So we print letters of various opinions, even if that opinion is that we stink. In recent weeks, there has been a high volume of letters regarding the economy, and the debt ceiling discussion in particular. Sometimes I will group letters on similar topics with each other and, other times, I try to balance the page with opposing points of view. Thats why youll sometimes see letters that bash Obama and support Obama on the same page, and sometimes in subsequent editions. Sometimes space is a consideration, and not all letters get in right away or some letters with similar points of view as others wont get in because its redundant. If a columnist is writing on a salient topic, I might group some letters with both similar points of view and opposing ones. We have a few frequent letter writers and those who write lengthy missives. For the most part, I try to limit letter writers to two a month and around 250 words. Letters are edited for length, style and grammar. If a letter writer is wordy, but the topic is strong, I might ask them to trim it down a bit and resubmit it. Some do, some dont. Sometimes long letters with a developed and concise argument can also be turned into guest perspectives which are around 600-800 words and feature a one- or two-line biography of the writer. I usually encourage people to check with me rst to make sure the topic is timely and is worth carving out the real estate for it. Sometimes we receive a lot of letters that were eerily similar and probably part of some letter-writing campaign. Those usually come during election seasons, but we did get quite a few like that during the health care debate. We usually limit those types of submissions. Local letter writers take precedence, as do those who write on local topics. However, we do print letters from out of the state or even out of the country if the topic is strong and relevant. I enjoy letters to the editor because they provide a forum for our readers to express themselves and provide an interactive experience for those who see theirs in print. They also provide a certain context for the work we do here every day. Without letters, we might not know if what we do is meaningful. And who knows, they just sometimes might spark connections and a dialogue that would not have taken place before. There are always many sides to a story, and we appreciate hearing them. And if you dont like a certain letter to the editor, you can always write your own. Who knows, you just might change the conversation.

Dow soars 429 points on Fed statement

Wall Street
whole, the companies in the Standard & Poors 500 index reap more than half their revenue overseas. Whats more, companies have already cut costs significantly, have hoarded cash and squeezed more production out of workers. Even as the U.S. economy has slowed, the S&P 500 as a whole was expected to earn record prots this year. Corporate America has demonstrated that it can generate good growth and prots despite a weaker U.S. economy, Doll said. The Dow rose 429.92 points, or 4 percent, to 11,239.77. On Monday, the Dow plunged 634.76 points in the rst trading day after Standard & Poors downgraded the U.S. one notch from its top AAA credit rating to AA+. The S&P 500 rose 53.07, or 4.7 percent, to 1,172.53. The Nasdaq composite index rose 124.83, or 5.3 percent, to 2,482.52. At rst, markets reacted much differently to the Feds statement. Stocks fell as much as 205 points after the Feds 2:15 p.m. EDT statement. Gold surged more than $50 per ounce to $1,774. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note briey touched a record low of 2.03 percent, after closing Monday at 2.34 percent.

NEW YORK The Fed spoke and nancial markets rallied. The Dow Jones industrial average surged more than 429 points, its tenthhighest point gain in history and the biggest since March 2009. It was just one day after the Dow had its worst point decline since 2008. The Federal Reserve pledged to keep its key interest rate at its record low of nearly zero through the middle of 2013. The central bank also said that it has discussed the range of policy tools it can use to spur the economy. Bob Doll, chief equity strategist at BlackRock, said the Feds decision to hold interest rates at a very low rate for two years is unprecedented and called it a kind of backdoor quantitative easing. In June, the central bank nished a second round of buying Treasury securities, also known as quantitative easing, in hopes of boosting the economy. Markets are going to do what they would have done if the Fed went out and bought securities, Doll said. He said he expects investors will return to stocks after the broad sell-off of the least few weeks. He expects stocks to continue to rally because a slow-growing U.S. economy wont harm corporate profits. As a
NEW YORK Apple briey surpassed Exxon Mobil on Tuesday as the nations most valuable company. The iPhone and iPad maker had the lead for much of the afternoon before its stock closed just behind Exxons. The two companies are so close that Apple is likely to keep the top spot soon. Apple Inc.s stock gained 5.9 percent to $374.01 on Tuesday, bringing its market capitalization to about $347 billion. Exxon Mobil Corp.s stock, meanwhile, closed up 2.1 percent at $71.64. That gives the oil company a market cap of $348 billion. Its stock was down earlier in the day, allowing Apple to take the lead. Other big-name corporations, such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and General Electric Co., dont even come close. Apple overtook Microsoft Corp., the previous No. 2, just last year. Does this mean people need iPads
more than oil? Exxon obviously sells a product that people need. Apple sells a product that people want, said Brian Marshall, an analyst with Gleacher & Co. who follows Apple. Exxon, which set a record in 2008 for the highest quarterly earnings by any company, has limited growth prospects, which are driven by oil prices and discovering new oil. Its growing, but not as quickly as Apple, which is charging ahead at the pace of a startup, Marshall says, even though the company is 35 years old. Apple, which is based in Cupertino has been on a roll with the soaring popularity of its iPad tablet computer and strong sales of the iPhone. Its growth is limited only by innovation. Investors expect it to grow as long as it keeps making products that people want. So investors are betting on Apples stock even though it currently makes less money than Exxon. In its latest quarterly report, Apple
said stronger iPhone and iPad sales helped more than double its net income to $7.31 billion and grow revenue by 82 percent to $28.6 billion. Exxon Mobil, meanwhile, posted a 41 percent increase in its second-quarter earnings to $10.68 billion, the largest since it set a record of $14.8 billion in the third quarter of 2008. Its revenue grew 36 percent to $125.5 billion. International companies that vie for the most valuable spot in the world include PetroChina Co., the publicly traded unit of Chinas biggest oil and gas company, and Petrobras, Brazils statecontrolled energy company. In the U.S., Exxon and General Electric had been trading off the No. 1 and No. 2 spots until Microsoft surpassed them both in early 1999, at the height of the dot-com boom. By 2000, though, GE was No. 1 once again. According to data from FactSet, the three were close over the next ve years, though Apple was ascending quickly.

Business brief
Disney 3Q beats Street on ESPN, theme parks growth
LOS ANGELES The Walt Disney Co. said Tuesday that its net income in the latest quarter rose 11 percent as growth at ESPN, its theme parks and consumer products businesses outweighed lackluster performance at its movie studio and interactive unit. The results beat Wall Street expectations, but the surprise boost to Disneys scal third quarter came mostly because of the early booking of revenue at ESPN, which will result in an offsetting negative in its scal fourth quarter. After gaining nearly 4 percent to $36.08 in extended trading, Disney shares reversed course, dropping 45 cents from the closing price, or 1.3 percent, to $34.25. Disney said $228 million in fees from ESPNs distributors was booked in the third quarter, after the company said in May that the fees would likely be booked in the fourth quarter.
LOS ANGELES The U.S. regulator of credit unions on Tuesday sued Goldman Sachs & Co. for more than $491 million in damages over losses incurred by two failed credit unions that purchased mortgagebacked securities underwritten by the investment bank. The complaint led by the National Credit Union Administration in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles is the latest lawsuit brought by the federal regulatory agency against a major bank as it seeks to recover billions in losses related to risky mortgage-backed securities that brought down credit unions in recent years. Buyers of mortgage-backed securities, mostly banks, pension funds and other big investors, made money from the investments if the underlying debt was paid off.
But as U.S. homeowners started falling behind on their mortgages and defaulted in droves in 2007, the securities failed and their buyers lost billions. In the complaint, which also names as defendants several issuers of mortgagebacked securities, regulators claim that the documents used in offering the securities contained untrue statements or omissions as to how risky the investments were. As a result, U.S. Central Federal Credit Union in Lenexa, Kan., and Western Corporate Federal Credit Union in San Dimas, Calif., acquired the mortgagebacked securities, believing the risk of loss was minimal, according to the complaint. However, even though virtually all of the securities had a triple-A rating, they represented a substantial risk of losses, the NCUA claims. And when the investments market value plummeted, the credit unions two of the nations largest failed.

There is a lot that goes into the success of a college football program. Not only do teams need to have the talent, the players need to be mentally, physically and most importantly academically prepared for the rigors of attending classes while playing football. Regardless of the level of the game Division I or junior college a successful team has all three components in place. The College of San Mateo is no different. Over the last decade, the Bulldogs have developed into one of the top programs not only in the state, but the nation. CSM, and other community colleges around the country, address this dilemma by offering studentathletes the opportunity to get settled into college social and football life by delaying the start of their college eligibility. Allowing a student-athlete to develop solid habits in the classroom, weight room and on the eld before they actually compete in a game, not only puts the player on solid footing to transfer to a four-year school, it also gives them an extra year to get bigger, faster and stronger. Not every student-athlete is ready to compete at the highest level right away. There are hundreds of high

The Palomino summer baseball league has a reputation for being stacked with legitimate ve-tool talent year-in-and-year-out on any given day, you can nd a handful of Division I caliber players on the diamond. And if you caught a ball game this summer that involved the San Mateo White Sox, then you probably got a look at the best player in the league Mark Hurley. Hurley, a redshirt outelder for the College of San Mateo during the spring, put up the numbers that back that statement in the summer, and hes
also got the backing of his coach, Lenny Souza, to conrm the Daily Journals beliefs. Im telling you right now, the best player on the Peninsula this summer was Mark Hurley. Hes a freakin stud, Souza said. We had a lot of good talent in our league, and Im sure other coaches will make arguments for other players, but I thought Mark was the best player I saw. Hurley is
good and we really think our league is strong. Theres a lot of talent in our league and I thought he was better than anyone we saw all year. Its hard to argue against Souza when you take a look at the numbers Hurley put up for the White Sox in 2011. Hurley hit .500, with 50 hits in 100 at-bats. He slugged .850, scored 32 runs, had 17 doubles, three triples and four home runs. Hurley was money in the middle of the White Sox lineup, too a No. 5 hit an unreal .541 with runners in scoring position. In 28 games for San Mateo, he drove in 43 runs.
STANFORD About the biggest change on the eld during Stanfords rst fall practice was the man delivering the message. New coach David Shaw isnt switching up much else. With Heisman Trophy favorite Andrew Luck back at quarterback, the Cardinal opened practice Monday with a glare of familiarity that was outshined only by the heightened expectations. Its like Christmas, said Luck, with his recently shaved beard already growing some new scruff. Its fun to get away from life and focus on football.
This season will certainly be different on The Farm. The dozen reporters who gathered for the rst practice tame by major David Shaw college football standards were as much anybody could ever remember for the opener at the academics-rst university, and the attention surrounding Luck already was at a fever pitch.

SANTA CLARA Frank Gore grabs the handoff from Alex Smith snap after snap, charges up the middle and adds a few extra yards to each carry as is his customary routine on the practice eld. He treats every carry as if he were in a game. Always has. Watcha think? Gore said, chuckling, when asked if hes his old self again. A week into training camp after his fourday holdout, the star running back is eagerly looking ahead to San Franciscos Sept. 11 season opener against Seattle. No. 21 isnt sure he needs many touches in the exhibition games to be ready, even this year coming off a fractured right hip that sidelined him for the nal ve games of 2010. Gore seems as good-natured and geared up as ever to play under new coach Jim Harbaugh. I love it. Ive been here a week and half. I like what Coach Harbaugh and the coaching staff are doing with the offense, he said. You can tell the energy is different. You can see it in Alex (Smith), man. He looks really condent, like hes ready to go. I like what were doing on the offensive side of the ball. If Gore has any hard feelings about his
unsettled contract situation, you cant tell. He obliged when a female fan asked for a hug during Tuesdays open practice. Gore said he will get with Harbaugh soon to discuss the plan for him this preseason. Harbaugh said he would like to see Frank get some touches. Gore typically plays only a handful of snaps last year, it was one series in one game with two carries for 58 yards. Im used to not playing. Ill see, Gore said. Its all about what coach says. He wants me to play, then Ill play. Harbaugh has been encouraged by his teams progress, calling Mondays practice the best yet. The 49ers have been lling out their roster with new acquisitions left and right leading up to Fridays exhibition opener at New Orleans. That will be the rst true test of how the players are grasping Harbaughs complex system. Gore isnt concerned about being up to speed in the West Coast offense. He doesnt feel behind despite missing the rst four days of training camp, including three practices. In the nal season of his contract, Gore is hoping for a big year and a big-paying new deal as he tries to become San Franciscos all-time leading rusher. The two-time Pro Bowler begins the year third on the list, needing 931 yards to be No. 1. I just want to continue and be the player

Frank Gore, who missed the nal ve games in 2010 with a fractured hip,is less than 1,000 yards away from becoming the franchises alltime leading rusher.
Ive always been, knowing theyre going to get 110 percent from me every time I touch the eld on Sundays, the practice eld, Gore venue known as Farmers Field. It would require AEG to extend a series of nancial guarantees over the course of the project as a safeguard against shortfalls and other risks.
said. And I can be myself. If I can be myself, thats great. So far Ive been feeling good in practice, trying to give it my all and trying to get this offense down pat and get ready for Seattle get ready and get going. Gore fractured his hip at Arizona on Nov. 29. Hes fully healthy again now. Gore showed it to a couple of thousand people Tuesday as he plowed through the defensive line in one of a series of open practices for fans on a perfectly clear summer day in the South Bay. Makin it look too easy, Frank! one man cheered during 11-on-11 drills. He looks pretty damn good to me, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said afterward. He seems like a guy who is out here and loves football, competes hard. Hes got great vision. Hes an elite running back. Harbaugh is eager to get everything he can out of every minute this week. He is still playing catch up as a rst-year coach who had to wait until after the lockout was lifted to meet much of his team. There are high expectations he can turn this franchise around right away after eight straight years without a winning season or playoff berth. Nice job, D! Harbaugh hollered, a whistle in his mouth at the ready almost resembling a drill sergeant with his new, tightly cropped haircut. ture was an alleged violation of the NFL code but not a crime and that security guards used unlawful force when they grabbed Ensign and forced him into a tunnel at Qualcomm Stadium after he refused to go there with them to talk about the incident. City Attorney Jan Goldsmith charged Ensign with misdemeanor battery for punching and biting a security guard.
NFL notes
Kolb to lead Cardinals at Oakland
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. After only ve practices, Kevin Kolb will lead the Arizona Cardinals into their preseason opener Thursday night at Oakland. Kolb says he hopes coach Ken Whisenhunt gives him as much playing time as possible as he works to learn a new system and develop chemistry with his teammates. Obviously Kens been around a lot longer than I have and he makes those calls, Kolb said before Tuesdays nal pre-game practice, but as much time as hell give us, thats how much time we need because theres a lot of work to be done. Whisenhunt said he probably will stay with his new quarterback a bit longer than he would under normal circumstances in a preseason opener.

Giants 6, Pirates 0
bases-loaded jam in the ninth to nish off Pittsburgh. With Bumgarner having another superb outing, San Francisco nally gave him a rare source of power. Stewart sent a fastball from McDonald in the fth over the left-eld wall to give the Giants a 2-0 lead. He sprinted around the bases and was mobbed by teammates in the dugout after his rst home run in 140 major league at-bats. Huff followed with a home run over the brick wall in right in the sixth to put San Francisco ahead 3-0. The homer was his 11th of the season and a big boost for a Giants team playing without injured slugger Carlos Beltran, nursing a strained right hand for the second straight night. San Franciscos 28 home runs at AT&T Park are the lowest for any team in the majors at home. Nate Schierholtz, Cody Ross and Orlando Cabrera also drove in a run
Mention The Beast to any San Jose Earthquakes fan and you will surely get a grin from ear to ear. His real name is Troy Dayak and the two-time San Jose defender (1996-1998 and 2001-2005) scored one of the most memorable goals in Earthquakes history. It came during Game 3 of the 2001 Major League Soccer seminals against the Miami Fusion in double overtime. It was a golden goal that propelled the Earthquakes to the rst ever MLS Final and eventual rst championship. For any Earthquakes fan, The Beast is already a legend. But now, Dayaks iconic status will ofcially be immortalized after San Jose announced yesterday that Dayak will be inducted into the teams Hall of Fame becoming the third player enshrined after John Doyle and Ronald Cerritos. I was surprised, and just very, very happy, Dayak said about his initial reaction to the news. I kind of swelled up with pride. Its something that I wasnt really expecting at this stage of my life. Its something that once I took it all in and really digested it, I felt really emotional about it. Troy Dayak You kind of have to be an ambassador to the game. I always considered it the warriors of the game, the avatars of the game, people that made a difference, that were a different breed to be considered in that eld of athletes is quite an achievement. Dayak will rst be honored at the Soccer Silicon Valley Community Foundation Dinner on Wednesday, Oct. 19 and the team will honor him and unveil his jersey at Buck Shaw stadium in Santa Clara on Saturday, Oct. 22 during a halftime ceremony at the nal game against FC Dallas. Dayak spent his entire professional career with San Jose. As a Clash and an Earthquake, he scored nine goals and had seven assists. Dayak ranks seventh all-time in minutes played with 10,830 and games started with 122. Hes eighth all time in appearances with 129. A native of the Bay Area, Dayak attended Livermore High School and the University of San Francisco. He was originally drafted by the New York MetroStars in 1996, but refused to sign with the team and was traded to San Jose. I never intended to play anywhere else, Dayak said. I always wanted to play here in front of my fans, my friends, my family and for my local club. I feel really blessed and fortunate to play nearly my entire career near my hometown. So Im super excited to accept this prestigious award and very honored to be considered by the San Jose Earthquakes. Theyre a class-act organization. Dayak, a central defender, battled injuries his entire career. A scary neck injury in 1997 put a halt to his career and almost left him paralyzed. Dayak recalls being called in after the game where, surrounded by coaches, doctors and trainers, he was told that he had ruptured two discs in his vertebrae and had a ve millimeter hole in his disc that had impinged on his nerve and spine. They told me my career was over, Dayak said, that no player had come back from a 2-6 nal fusion to play. The Beast proved everyone wrong. After having surgery on Halloween, Dayak began his recovery and, at a checkup, his doctor enthusiastically told him that his spine and vertebrae had fused. I took the news to heart, he said, and he began his road back to the MLS. Now 2001, Dayak received a phone call by newly appointed head coach Frank Yallop to come try out for the Quakes. Dayak fought his way onto the roster, then fought to get a contract one that he signed a day before the season opener. The Beast ofcially returned to play at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena where he scored on a header for San Jose. He also scored in the teams rst home game of the season. I can tell you one word that comes to mind, and thats Cinderella. It was a Cinderella story for me, Dayak said of the 2001 season. Dayak continued to shine by being named to the All-Star team (where he wore the captains armband) and winning the MLS Comeback Player of the Year Award. With him in central defense, San Jose went on to win the 2001 MLS title. They also won another in 2003. I think my whole life, Ive been a person that hates to be beat, Dayak said. I like challenges, I dont like to be told that I cant do something. I spent my whole life proving people wrong. I played for people that probably couldnt play. My motto is that there are a lot of people that want to be where Im at playing so Im not ever going to take a moment off where someone can say hey you didnt put it all on the eld today. So every time I stepped on the eld I played like it was my last moment playing. I left a lot of DNA on many different elds throughout the years. Dayak left the Quakes in 2005, but come Oct. 22, there is no way he can ever leave. I have no idea. I dont know what to expect, Dayak said of the day hes inducted into the Hall. I always believe you should wear your heart on your sleeve so I think its going to be an emotional moment for me as a true Earthquake. Im just really honored to be considered by the organization. I wont let the fans down, I wont let the organization down.
SAN FRANCISCO Chris Stewart hit his rst major league home run, Aubrey Huff had another solo shot and the San Francisco Giants showed some rare pop in a 6-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night. M a d i s o n Bumgarner (7-11) struck out 10 and walked one in seven innings. The lefty was one strikeout short of his career high, which came against Cleveland on June 26. Madison Huff also had an Bumgarner RBI double to help chase James McDonald (7-6) after six innings. McDonald allowed three runs and four hits for the Pirates, who had snapped a 10-game losing streak a night earlier. Sergio Romo pitched a scoreless eighth and Santiago Casilla got out of a
each to highlight a two-run eighth for the Giants, and they couldve had far more. The Giants were 2 for 11 with runners in scoring position. The Pirates had few scoring chances and saw their best one snatched away. Ronny Cedeno had a one-out double in the fth and moved to third with two outs on McDonalds ground out.

school football players around the country who can step right in and start at a major Division I program, but there are thousands of others who may need a little development. Grayshirting, in general, has gotten more popular at the junior college level. Schools that do a good job of recruiting have lots of players and a lot of talented players, and you cant play them all, said CSM head coach Bret Pollack. Pollack said the CSM program implemented the grayshirt program in 2001 with about 15 to 20 players. A decade later, Pollack said he keeps about 30 grayshirts and 60 or so active players on the roster during a given year.
Pollack said. Although grayshirts cant play in games on Saturday, they are part of the team in every other capacity. They still hit the weight room, attend all meetings and games. Whether they decide to grayshirt or not, theyre not treated any differently, Pollack said. Were trying to prepare for the future. Pollack also said he tries to keep the grayshirt athletes involved and feeling part of the team by offering group-specic activities, one of which is called Super Bowl Thursdays when the grayshirt players get a chance to suit up and play against each other. They also become a team in other organized team activities. You have to do things to keep them involved, Pollack said. We help them stay more involved. A misconception is if hes grayshirting, hes just not playing. Grayshirting at some community colleges (means) taking a year off. To us, grayshirting means Im sacricing a year to better myself.

That will be a theme all season for the Cardinal, and they welcome the challenges ahead in the post-Jim Harbaugh Era. The message to the team was we have high expectations for how we practice, said Shaw, the former offensive coordinator. Were not going to worry about playing games right now. Were not going to worry about anybody else. Were going to worry about us and how we practice and how hard we can run. One worry Shaw didnt have on Day 1 was at quarterback. Luck, the Heisman Trophy-runner up to Auburns Cam Newton last year, returns after putting off being the NFL drafts likely No. 1 pick. Several starters also are back from a 12-1 team that nished fourth in the nal AP poll, the schools best ranking since the unbeaten 1940 team nished second. The Cardinal will likely be a preseason Top 10 pick in the AP poll they were No. 6 in the coaches poll that came out last week and are the heavy favorite to challenge Oregon in the North Division for a spot in the inaugural Pac-12 championship game. Doing so wont come easily. The major concern for the Cardinal is the coaching turnover. Shaw takes over for Harbaugh, who brought some of his staff along with him to the San Francisco 49ers, leaving the new coach with the burden of making sure Stanford doesnt slip. Among the other glaring spots to ll are receiver, offensive lineman and kicker. All-America center Chase Beeler is gone. So are leading receivers Doug Baldwin and Ryan Whalen and reliable kicker Nate Whitaker. Shaw expects Luck to alleviate some of the transition, especially at receiver. Chris Owusu ranks as Stanfords most experienced wideout with 67 career receptions for 1,158 yards and eight touchdowns, the leader of an otherwise unproven receiver corps that is out to show the team can still contend for a conference title without Harbaugh.

MIAMI Dwyane Wade has decided he cannot take a year away from basketball. And if the NBA goes that route, Wade has decided to go somewhere else. Though he remains cautiously hopeful that a deal between owners and players can be struck to end the lockout and ultimately save the 2011-12 NBA season, Wade told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he will be playing somewhere this winter whether thats with the Miami Heat, as hed obviously prefer, or an international club. Im going to play basketball this year, Wade said from New York, where hes taking some business meetings. I dont know where, but I
love the game so much that I will play it. And we will gure that out. Wade denied receiving any international offers yet, including a widely circulated report of a $2 millionper-month proposal from a Chinese team. He has said Dwyane Wade throughout the summer that he would review any offers that come his way, a stance he reiterated Tuesday, while noting that he was overwhelmed at times by the support he received from Chinese fans during a nine-day trip to their nation that ended last week. On Monday, Wades Heat teammate LeBron giving up on her dream. According to her Twitter feed, she was pulled from the water after swimming for 29 hours. Later Tuesday, Nyad said her captain told her she had roughly 53 miles to go when she stopped. The swim had been expected to take about 60 hours to cross 103 miles (166 kilometers).
James told The AP hes very optimistic the season will take place, possibly even on time. Wade and James agree on plenty, but on that point, they differ a bit. Wade has started his offseason workout regimen, just in case, though hardly sounds convinced that the league will get its planned slate of 82 games in starting this fall. I understand why LeBron said it, Wade said. At the end of the day, we are in negotiations. And you know how negotiations work. In the 11th hour, it can look like nothings going to happen. In the 12th hour, we can have it happen. You have to prepare like were going to have to be ready for training camp in the rst week of October, just like you normally do. So I understand exactly what he meant. Im not that positive that it might happen. a Gold Cup nal loss to Mexico in June. That led them to re coach Bob Bradley. Klinsmann says hes encouraged by the attitudes and talent after only a few days of camp. He says jumping into his debut so quickly after he was hired isnt easy, but is exciting. More than 25,000 tickets have been sold for the game at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the NFLs Philadelphia Eagles.
Wade is not sounding worried about what the coming weeks and months may bring. Hes too busy right now to be caught up in speculation, anyway. In the seven weeks or so following Miamis loss to Dallas in the NBA nals, Wade has been in almost constant motion. Hes been to Europe for fashion shows, China for business meetings with corporate partners Gatorade, Hublot and Nikes Jordan Brand, with friends at Chris Boshs wedding and other trips. In New York, he posed for seven hours of photos Monday for various projects. Theres other shoots for GQ planned, as well as one for his next signature shoe, the Fly Wade 2, which will be released this fall. And in a few days, hell start 5on-5 play at Marquette, his old school. ment since November 2009 and hasnt won a major since the U.S. Open three years ago. Atwal, though, said Woods is closing in on the swing thats won him 14 major titles in his career. He looked good, Atwal said. Hes really ushing it and got that sound again. He just needs more repetitions. Woods was surrounded by security guards after his round and did not speak to reporters. He has a news conference scheduled for Wednesday morning. He returned last week from a knee injury, tying for 37th at the WGC-Bridgestone. Woods was easy-going with the large gallery that followed him over the front nine and took mobile phone photos at nearly every turn. He smiled at a little girl walking to the seventh tee and answered, Whats up? after she called his name. He signed autographs for eager fans following the round.

Nyad, 61, stroked through shoulder pain and oated on her back when asthma made it difcult for her to breathe on the attempt to swim from Cuba to Key West that she began Sunday. She said she pictured herself emerging from the water onto the beach and vowed to doggypaddle there, if that was what it took. She swam right through a smack of stinging jellysh.

He had a ridiculous summer, Souza said. He had ridiculous numbers. Its that ridiculousness that makes Hurley a San Mateo Daily Journal Summer Standout. A major assist this season goes out to fellow White Sox and Bulldog, Mitch Labbie, who Souza credits with getting Hurley over to his Palomino team. I didnt know who he was, Souza said. But we were glad to have him. Hurley proved to be invaluable when Andrew Vanisi, one of the expected boppers for the White Sox, went down with a shoulder injury. Hurley stepped right into the middle of the San Mateo lineup and produced an insane summer of baseball supplying his coach and team with jawdropping moments, like hitting a ball to left eld that landed on the roof of a

the dish. Defensively in center eld, he completely held it down, Souza said. Hes got a good arm, I mean, thats how good CSM is. He made some plays in the playoffs that were balls that went up and I would have been worried if anyone else was in the outeld. He just locks it down out there. Hes a complete player. It really doesnt get much better than him. Hes a great kid, too, Souza continued. Usually theres a catch, but hes very humble. Everyone loved him. Id love to have him back, but Im not sure that will happen because theyll be enough people knocking on the door for him to play in a true college league. Hes going to have a lot of eyes on him in the fall. Hes an incredible player. With the summer season over, Hurley will next be on display as one of the key cogs on the 2012 edition of the CSM Bulldogs. Souza cant wait. Im excited to just go see some CSM games and watch him play because hes a beast.
OMAHA, Neb. The United Football League will go ahead with its third season, despite losing more than $100 million in its rst two years. Commissioner Michael Huyghue wrote we will play in a text message to the Associated Press on Tuesday night. Huyghue said the league will announce details Wednesday. The UFL on July 19 announced it would push back the start of
its training camps a month and delay the start of the season from August to September. That fueled speculation the second-tier pro league would fold. It remains unclear whether the UFL will continue with four or ve teams. Hartford Colonials coach Jerry Glanville said last month that his team was being considered for contraction. He said Tuesday night that he still hadnt been told whether the Colonials would play.

Syrian children light candles during a protest in solidarity with Syrias anti-government protesters in Beirut,Lebanon.
BEIRUT Syrian President Bashar Assad came under a new barrage of international pressure Tuesday with the Turkish foreign minister urging him to stop killing protesters and U.S. ofcials saying the Obama administration is preparing to explicitly demand his departure. Even as Assad held more than six hours of talks with the visiting Turkish minister, his military unleashed fresh attacks on restive areas, attacks that activists said killed more than 20 people. Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said he met the Syrian leader for more than six hours in the capital Damascus and discussed concrete steps to end the violent crackdown on protesters. Rights groups say about 1,700 people have been killed since March. An aggressive new military offensive that began with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan a week ago has killed several hundred. Speaking to reporters on his return to Turkey, Davutoglu said the talks were cordial but did not say what specic steps they had discussed or whether Assad had agreed to consider them. We discussed ways to prevent confrontation between the army and the people and tensions like those in Hama in the most open and clear way, Davutoglu said, referring to the Syrian city that has become a ashpoint in the 5-month-old uprising against Assads autocratic rule. The coming days will be important to see if the expectations are being met. We hope that internal peace and calm is achieved and steps for reform are taken.
WASHINGTON The fallen come home here with such dignity that every American ag on every case of remains is inspected for the tiniest smudge. The dead are treated with reverence by everyone. Including their commander in chief. For the second time in his presidency, Barack Obama was at Dover on Tuesday, saluting troops who died on his watch. Sadness hung everywhere. For Obama, it was a day to deal with the nations single deadliest day of the decade-long war in Afghanistan. For the families of the 30 Americans who were killed, it was a time to remember the dreams their loved ones had lived, not the ambitions that died with them. Obama solemnly climbed aboard the two C-17 cargo planes carrying the fallen home from Afghanistan. Their helicopter apparently had been hit by an insurgents rocket-propelled grenade. Later, the president consoled their grieving families. The country didnt see it. There will be no lasting, gripping images this time of Obama assuming his ofces grimmest role. No family could give permission for media coverage, the military said, because no individual bodies had been identied yet. The helicopter crash in Afghanistan on Saturday was that horric. The troops who died had been ying on a mission to help fellow forces under re. An insurgent shot the helicopter down. For Americans with no sons, daughters, other relatives or friends in the military, this punch seemed to blindside everyone. The war is supposed to winding down, and the face behind it, Sept.

To prepare the dressing, in a small bowl whisk together the oil, honey, lemon zest and juice, garlic and fennel seeds. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside. To prepare the marinade, in a small bowl combine the vinegar, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Add the mint and set aside. In a large skillet over medium-high, heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if necessary, slide the zucchini slices into the skillet in a single layer. Do not crowd the skillet. Fry, turning the slices often with a fork, for 7 minutes, or until golden and ecked with dark spots. As the zucchini slices nish frying, transfer them to the marinade. Let the zucchini marinate for at least 10 minutes. To assemble the salad, place the arugula in a large bowl. Remove the zucchini slices from the marinade and add to the arugula.

dozen years ago to a ourishing boutique niche, with recent growth fueled in part by a ban on Japanese beef because of reports of foot-andmouth disease. While American ranchers might not be able to match the mystique of Japanese Kobe and much of the domestic product is cross-bred, they say their product compares to the legendarily luscious stuff. We can get through any door we want, said Wilson, watching his high-priced herd crowd a bucket of barley dumped on the ground. All we have to do is a taste test. Kobe is to beef what a Maserati is to sports cars: the epitome of pricey, exclusive luxury item. Steaks can retail for more than $100 at highend restaurants and specialty stores. Dont look for it plastic-wrapped in the meat aisle of your local supermarket.
Kobe is fatty,but not in a bad way.The thin veins are laced in so uniformly that cuts really do look like marble.
CAZENOVIA, N.Y. Half a world away from the secretive farms that produce Japans legendary Kobe beef, Jerry Wilson raises the American version of the meat that will become $50 steaks and $13 burgers. The chocolatey brown cattle at Wilsons Meadows Farm dont technically produce Kobe beef that term is reserved for the Japanese super high-end cut famous for its succulent taste and eye-popping prices. Wilson calls his meat American Style Kobe Beef. Other ranchers use similar names like Kobe-style beef or wagyu beef, a reference to the breed of cattle. Whatever the name, domestic production of the pricey product has grown from practically nothing a
True Kobe beef comes from wagyu cattle raised in the Hyogo prefecture of Japan, where Kobe is the capital city. Japanese ranchers are notoriously secretive about their techniques, giving rise to stories that they ply their small herds with beer (to stimulate appetite in hot weather) and have sake massaged into their skin (thought to stimulate muscles). Kobe is fatty, but not in a bad way. The thin veins are laced in so uniformly that cuts really do look like marble. Wagyu meat has a higher proportion of unsaturated fat the good kind of fat when compared to meats from other breeds. Its the fat that helps give the beef a avor and mouth melt that sends tasters to the thesaurus in search of adjectives like velvety,

A better-than-butter corn
love summertime. Even more than that, I love summer food. One of the best days in summer is when local corn starts to appear in the farmers markets. Heavy, sweet, juicy corn picked not more than a few miles from home. Ive been enjoying lots of it this summer and the best corn is still to come. The way most people eat it including me, most of my life is to slather the cobs with a big stick of butter. Thats ne, but too much butter-slathered corn and, well, we all know where this is headed. My solution for corn-on-the-cob fans is my barbecue Mexican corn. Ill concede that fresh corn tastes great on its own. But sometimes I like to spice it up a bit. This easy-to-make side dish offers big avor without giving you a big gut. Note to ladies: This is something your man can do on the grill besides just char some steak, burgers, hot dogs or some other mouthwatering chunks of meat, that is. Youll keep the husks on too. Thats important, because real men grill corn with the husks left intact. This recipe uses cotija cheese, known as the Parmesan of Mexico. If youre unfamiliar with it, cotija cheese is a strongly avored, crumbly cheese that is used like Parmesan is in Italian cooking. If you cant nd cotija in your supermarket, try using Parmigiano-Reggiano or feta. Dont worry about any calories from mayonnaise either. I use the low-fat version, and it tastes absurdly fabulous as a part of the grill sauce. This recipe makes a welcome, tasty addition to anything else you do on the grill spareribs, chicken, steak or burgers, or as an accompaniment to quesadillas, tostadas, fajitas, tacos or burritos. So dig in. Delicious! And you can eat this corn anyway you prefer. Typewriter style, around in a circle, munched in the middle, with little corn holders or grasped with your hands. So hit the store for an armful of fresh corn on the cob, and get grilling. Youll have a healthy side dish at only 158 calories a serving with 6 grams of fat. Compare that to traditional corn slathered with butter, which has 265 calories per serving and 17 grams of fat. Just stay away from the smores, apple pie
and strawberry shortcake, and you might actually emerge from summer a bit slimmer.
ROCCO DISPIRITO
their husks Butter-avored cooking spray 1/2 cup (about 2 ounces) cotija cheese, grated 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 1 lime, cut into 4 wedges Heat a grill or grill pan to high. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and barbecue spice rub. Set aside. Place the corn, in their husks, on the grill or pan and allow to steam cook for about 5 minutes per side. Peel back some husk and check for tenderness. When corn is tender, remove from the heat but leave the grill on or the pan over the heat. Cut 1 inch off the top of the cobs. Grasp the husk, along with the silk, and peel the husks off the cob like a banana. Continue peeling back the husks around the rest of the cob. Peeling them back together in this way creates a handle for holding the cob. Spray the corn with cooking spray and place on the hot grill or pan. Grill until the kernels begin to develop grill marks and become charred, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the cobs occasionally. Using a pastry brush, brush the mayonnaise mixture onto each cob. Sprinkle the cheese and cilantro over the cobs. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Buy and eat corn on the same day.The older the corn gets the starchier it will become. Try to not to refrigerate fresh corn.Like tomatoes,when corn is chilled it loses some of its sparkle. If you prefer to boil corn instead of steaming it in the husk on the grill like I suggest,try this:cut the top of the ear off with a sharp knife about 1 to 2 inches below where the silk appears.Next peel down the husk one section at a time and carefully tug the silk along with the husk. Continue until you are all the way around the cob.This is the best way to remove the silk. If you are in polite company or just got your new false teeth,you always can shave the kernels off the cob (after they have been seasoned) with a sharp knife. Simply make sure the top and bottom of the ear have been cut at,then hold the corn vertically on a cutting board and run the knife down the ear about 1/2 inch into the cob removing just the kernels.If you get into rough territory and the knife just wont go through the kernels,that means your knife is too far into the cob and all you have to do is start again with the blade closer to the kernels. Always use fresh lime with this dish.The additional acidity makes this go from a good dish to a sublime taste experience that will change your life forever.

FOOD
Our whole philosophy was to do solid,good food that the people can rely on....I think weve been pretty successful with it.

to Davis, Calif. from Europe in 1989 to continue his education, but didnt like the environment and decided to try the Bay Area. Fabbri was the rst person he got to know here, and proposed opening a restaurant together. Cartali said they wanted to do a trattoria, which means that everything is homemade and theres no hassle like youre just eating at home. My goal is about the food, Cartali said. Of course presentation is very important too, but its like youre just going in your fridge and grabbing your food and cooking. Cartali said Bella Mangiata has a general menu that serves classic food from southern, central, and northern Italy. Bilarddi and Fabbri spent six months visiting all the Italian restaurants in the Bay Area before deciding on the menu, he said. People in the United States have so many choices and so many restaurants that they can test, Cartali said, and his main goal was to let them sample food from every region of Italy. Repeat customers are 90 percent to 95 percent of the business, Cartali said, and some of those customers have been coming back for 17 or 18 years. Just a block down the street from Bella Mangiata is Ristorante Capellini, in a building that is a registered California landmark and has been open since 1990. Executive chef and
partner Paul Bourrillion, 49, has been with the restaurant since the beginning. He said that the majority owner Aaron Ferer always wanted to have a restaurant, and wanted to create a neighborhood restaurant with a city atmosphere. Ristorante Capellinis cuisine is generally focused on Northern Italian cuisine, Bourrillion said, because it was the style that appealed to Ferer and was also the style of a restaurant in San Francisco that they loved and brought to San Mateo. But Bourrillion added that the cuisine also features California ingredients and he has recently been exploring more southern Italian food, like pizza. The menu at Ristorante Capellini is broad enough that everyone can nd something that appeals to them, Bourrillion said, and they periodically bring in seasonal items to keep people interested. He said theyve been very grateful and happy with the support they have gotten from the community. Our whole philosophy was to do solid, good food that the people can rely on, Bourrillion said. I think weve been pretty successful with it. A few streets over from Ristorante Capellini on East Third Avenue is Acqua Pazza, which with growth coming not only from steaks, but from hamburger, hot dog and barbecue meat. Its very small here, Beattie said of the wagyu business. But the potential for this breed to grow is huge. U.S. ofcials stopped the import of meat from Japan last year after the foot-and-mouth disease reports. So connoisseurs dropping $145 for a pair of 12-ounce wagyu rib-eyes are likely purchasing from a domestic producer or from Australia. Most American wagyu can be traced back to a small herd that came over from Japan in the 90s. Many of the animals were cross-bred with Angus and Hereford cattle, which diluted the breeds unique attributes. At the Meadows farm southeast of Syracuse, all the steer they kill for meat are purebred, or more than 93.75 percent wagyu. But farm manager Tod Avery said that not all wagyu sold to consumers has the same level of quality. They think Kobe is Kobe, Avery said. They have no idea. U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines do not permit the use of the term Kobe
was opened in 2008 by three brothers from Naples. Co-owner Tullio Rosano, 38, said restaurant ownership is the family business, and he and his brothers Enzo and Valerio wanted to open a restaurant in the United States to bring what they were doing back in Naples over here and see if they liked it. The brothers rst came to Palo Alto for several years and then moved to Florida, but after six months Tullio said they realized they belonged in the Bay Area. So they left Florida in spring 2008 and found the spot on East Third Avenue. Rosano said they already had a following of people who knew them from before, so they never felt like a new restaurant. Little by little we try to customize our menus and make it as we like it, which we think is the best way customers like it, Rosano said. We always try to please everyone, but its not easy ... We dont want to be stuck. We feel free to change any time we want to. Acqua Pazza specializes in Southern Italian cuisine because Rosano said that style is what his family was raised on. But he added that they like to do everything as it ts us, so Acqua Pazza also offers other styles of Italian food, like risotto and lasagna. They try to keep alone to describe American-grown wagyu beef, but labels like American Style or American Brand Kobe Beef are OK. And beef that comes from cattle cross-bred with Angus or other breeds needs to be labeled as such. U.S. wagyu producers are in the early stages of developing a grading scale they say will reect the superior meat they produce and the extra time and care it takes to raise it. At Meadows Farm, Avery skips the beer and sake, but the 170 head have a couple of hundred acres to roam. They are not given growth hormones, steroids or corn (Avery said the corn makes the fat yellowy). Theyre on feed for two years, which is far longer than regular cattle. Wilson and Avery switched over from a dairy operation in 2002 with a purebred bull named Ito and eight pregnant cows. They did not sell the rst-generation offspring, but continued to breed more and more wagyu in each generation. They are hands-on enough with their cattle that some of the animals here even have

scrumptious, silky and savory. You mention fat and its like saying rat poison. Weve been conditioned to believe that all fat that you eat is bad. And thats simply not true, especially with wagyu, said Robert Estrin, co-owner of Lone Mountain Ranch Cattle Co. in Golden, N.M. Estrin raises full blood or 100 percent wagyu cattle. There are about 150 U.S. producers in the American Wagyu Association, many of them with 25 head or less, said Michael Beattie, executive director of the industry group. The largest, Boise, Idaho-based Snake River Farms, slaughters 10,000 to 15,000 head of wagyu a year a very thin slice of total annual U.S. commercial slaughter of around 34 million. Snake Rivers Jay Theiler said their wagyu business is growing about 20 percent a year,

say, but know that we dont always like what we see from here both looking outward and in. Murder to Excellence encapsulates the theme in a two-parter that shifts beats halfway Jay-Z through. West begins by quoting an old Jay-Z line Im from the murder capital, where they murder for capital to decry blackon-black violence in his hometown of Chicago. Jay-Z then describes ascending to the new black elite with Will Smith and Oprah Winfrey. Only spot a few blacks the higher I go ... that aint enough. We gon need a million more, he raps. Isolation infuses the Swizz Beats-produced Welcome to the Jungle, where West drinks away his struggles: Just when I thought I had everything, I lost it all. So que sera. Get a case of Syrah, let it chase the pain. JayZ places himself in the shoes of fellow musicians at their lowest points, linking Eminem, Kanye West Michael Jackson, Pimp C, 2Pac and more through coded couplets that reward repeat listening. Even more dour is the RZA-produced New Day, with odes to sons the two may eventually father. Over a plinking piano and Nina Simone sample, West agellates himself for mistakes, from his choice in women to post-Katrina telethon appearance, noting: Ill never let my son have an ego. Jay-Z is even more direct: Sorry Junior, I already ruined ya, cause you aint even alive, paparazzi pursuing ya. He referred to Chiangs lower estimate as a bookkeeping issue. Theres a lot more denitive data that have to come through the door between now and the end of the year that are going to determine whether the trigger is going to be pulled in part, in full or at all, Palmer said. School administrators should begin negotiating now with teachers unions in case they face the possibility of more cuts, said Teri Burns, director of legislative advocacy for School Innovations and Advocacy, an education lobbying group. The states budget bills prohibit additional layoffs this school year but permit school districts to end their year seven days early, depending on the severity of the cuts. Other options include asking teachers to take pay cuts or laying off non-teaching staff. State Sen. Bob Huff of Diamond Bar, Senate Republicans chief budget negotiator, said the impending triggers could force Democrats who control the Legislature to make concessions on reforming state pensions and capping state spending. When it comes to just actually pulling the trigger on the cuts, they (Democrats) are not going to be willing to do that, Huff said. The Republicans are looking for reforms and the Democrats are looking for revenues, and theres a way to meet in the middle here. under the inuence of a controlled substance in April. Lockwood was on parole the day he was killed. But his stepfather said those crimes should not tarnish the man Lockwood was. Justin was a good guy. He had issues with addiction, but he was not out there robbing people or doing harm to people, Boyd said yesterday. Police investigators and prosecutors are set to meet shortly to discuss the case, Manheimer said. Lockwood leaves behind a young son named Justin Jr. and his family has started a college fund him.

Released online as nancial markets took a historic plunge, the full-length collaboration between Jay-Z and Kanye West revels in self-described luxury rap. Two of hip-hops biggest stars tell us in rhyme form that even in this economy, they can afford ne art, haute couture, even top-tier German home appliances. If you can forgive these self-satised rap titans their name-checking of Mark Rothko, Dries Van Noten and Miele, though, Watch The Throne has more on its mind. Celebration of the high life is undercut by regrets, loneliness, and snatches of mournful social commentary. Like Wests acclaimed solo effort last year, the album title reveals itself as both boastful and paranoid, proud and furtive. Watch us on top, they seem to

could be imposed next year, Controller John Chiang said in releasing the numbers. Income taxes beat projections by 3 percent last month, but sales taxes were down 12 percent and corporate taxes fell 19 percent. The report comes after a massive selloff on Wall Street. While stocks recovered some lost ground Tuesday, a declining market is bad news for California. The state relies disproportionately on income and capital gains taxes from the wealthy. The so-called trigger cuts would come in stages, under the budget Brown signed for the scal year that began July 1. If revenue falls $1 billion to $2 billion short of projections, it would mean $600 million in cuts spread between the University of California and California State University systems, the Department of Developmental Services, the states in-home supportive services program. Library grants, corrections and community colleges also would be cut. A shortfall of $2 billion to $4 billion would trigger another $1.9 billion in cuts, including $1.5 billion from public schools, $250 million from school bus transportation and $72 million from
community colleges. This years $86 billion budget relied on a combination of spending cuts, higher-than-expected revenue assumptions and new fees for vehicle owners and those who live in rural areas where the state provides re protection. The state had faced a $26.6 billion decit over 18 months at the beginning of the year, but it was reduced primarily with spending cuts, money transfers between government accounts and an unexpected surge in tax revenue last spring. State Department of Finance spokesman H. D. Palmer said Chiangs numbers may be overly pessimistic because July is traditionally a low revenue month. Moreover, the finance department projects the states sale tax revenue will meet July projections. I was told no one would be prosecuted, she said yesterday. Lockwoods mother said her son ended up at the storage facility that Tuesday afternoon because his girlfriends ex-boyfriend was allegedly breaking into her locker. Lockwood and his girlfriend allegedly went to the storage facility together to confront the ex-boyfriend, Jeanette Boyd said, but after that the details of the story are thin. Police could not confirm that Lockwood may have scufed with the ex-boyfriend before he was stabbed. Lockwood did, however, have a lengthy history of arrests. He was arrested twice this year in San Mateo County for refusing to give a police ofcer proper identication in January and for possessing or being extort and false advertising, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti. Nguyen pleaded not guilty. A preliminary hearing was set for Monday, Oct. 24. These charges are added to the previous ones of violating a court order, as well as 12 other counts including false advertising and contracting without a license. On Aug. 13, 2010, Nguyen reportedly cold-called several residents and identified himself as operating the Professional Gas and Electric Company, an afliate of Pacic Gas &

Lockwood was allegedly stabbed four times, his stepfather Gary Boyd told the Daily Journal yesterday. Boyd has hope investigators can prove Lockwood was not the aggressor in the incident. My son was not armed, Boyd said. Lockwoods mother, Jeanette Boyd, told the Daily Journal yesterday she was contacted by prosecutors Friday to tell her no charges would be led in the case.

On Tuesday, Nguyen was charged with six additional counts including attempted theft, unauthorized impersonation of another, diverting funds, attempting to divert funds, elder abuse, a threatening letter with intent to
Electric. Two homeowners accepted the voucher offers and in neither case was the work completed well, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said previously. In one case, workers did one day of work before abandoning the job with exposed wires and damaged stucco. The homeowner required expensive repairs by a legitimate contractor. At the time, Nguyen had a permanent injunction from San Francisco in 2007 prohibiting him from this same practice. Nguyen is out of custody on $150,000 bail bond.

Two endeavors that thus far have proven to be totally unproductive might be revitalized in the coming months. Youve been closer to success in the past than you may have realized, and this time around, youll know what to do.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Although your inclination may be urging you to waste your time playing hooky, get a grip on yourself and pay attention to neglected chores that are your responsibility. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If youre not careful, without realizing it you could easily begin to impose
your will upon your companions. Needless to say, if you do, you wont be very popular. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Striving for lofty goals is admirable, but unless you choose realistic aims, they might not be that easy to achieve. If thats the case, dont start blaming others for your poor choices. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Associates will be unreceptive to your suggestions if in the past you have been close-minded to theirs. At the very least, be willing to listen and consider what they have to say. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Constant vigilance is essential if you are responsible for a project that could affect the welfare of others. Dont take lightly your commitment to oversee it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Its a time for
building bridges, not barriers. For the sake of harmony and progress, you and your mate shouldnt be butting heads, but putting them together for a common cause. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- With your physical and mental energies both in high gear, you could have difficulty distinguishing the differences between assertiveness and mere aggressiveness. Take care. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Instead of associating with a clique that is made up of certain people who make you feel uncomfortable, you should find companions who have pleasant ways to spend their time. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you want others to be supportive of your interests, you must be there for them when they need you. Make some time to help an associate who could use a little assistance.
mood could have you telling others about things you might otherwise keep to yourself. Dont let something slip out that you need to keep under tight wraps. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- When you find yourself in a spending mood, your material desires can be very pronounced, which could be the case at his juncture. Be very careful about going off on a wild spree. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Youre more easily influenced than you may realize, so take care that youre not unduly swayed by others to waste your time. Set some goals and go after them. COPYRIGHT 2011 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

LONDON Britain began ooding Londons streets with 16,000 police officers Tuesday, nearly tripling their presence as the nation feared its worst rioting in a generation would stretch into a fourth night. The violence has turned buildings into burnt out carcasses, triggered massive looting and spread to other U.K. cities. Police said they were working full-tilt, but found themselves under attack from rioters roaming the streets, from a scared and worried public, and from politicians whose cost-cutting is squeezing police numbers ahead of next years Olympic Games. Sharp cuts planned for public services and rising unemployment have fed into growing frustrations in poor, urban areas. Londons Metropolitan Police force vowed an unprecedented operation to stop more rioting, ooding the streets Tuesday with 16,000 ofcers over the next 24 hours, nearly three times Mondays total. Although the riots started Saturday with a protest over a police shooting, they have morphed into a general lawlessness that police have struggled to halt with ordinary tactics. Police in Britain generally avoid tear gas, water cannons or other strong-arm riot measures. Many shops targeted by looters had goods that youths would want anyway sneakers, bikes, electronics, leather goods while other buildings were torched apparently just for the fun of seeing something burn.

LONDON As the capital reeled from three days of rioting and looting, Olympic organizers defended security planning for the London Games and pressed ahead Tuesday with sports competitions and meetings leading to next years showpiece event. A womens beach volleyball tournament began as scheduled at Horse Guards Parade, with players in bikinis competing on a sand court a short distance from Prime Minister David Camerons 10 Downing Street residence. But organizers decided to use two courts instead of one for Tuesdays 12 matches so play could nish nearly three hours early, allowing spectators and staff to leave before dark. FIVB Beach Volleyball Director Angelo Squeo, who was on site during the Olympic Park bombing at the 1996 Atlanta Games, said he consulted with high-ranking London Olympic organizers and police before taking the decision. I will do whatever in order to not put in danger not even risk putting in danger anybody here, Squeo told the Associated Press. A wave of violence and looting has raged across London, as author-
ities struggled to contain the countrys worst unrest since race riots set the capital ablaze in the 1980s. More than 500 people have been arrested in London and over 100 charged so far. Englands exhibition soccer game against the Netherlands on Wednesday at Wembley Stadium another Olympic venue was called off to free up police for riot duty. Cameron cut short his summer vacation in Italy and returned to London to deal with the crisis. He recalled Parliament from its summer recess and said 16,000 ofcers would be on the streets of the capital Tuesday night almost tripling the number on the streets Monday night. The image of the Olympic host city has been tarnished by the images broadcast around the world of buildings and vehicles in ames and looters running amok. The disorder comes less than two weeks after London celebrated the one-year countdown to the opening of the games on July 27, 2012, with great fanfare. On Monday, the violence spread to Hackney, one the boroughs encompassing the Olympic Park in east London. The unrest took place about four miles from the park, site of the main Olympic Stadium and other key venues.
