Combining special educationservices across multiple school dis-tricts could save money while main-taining access to tailored services,according to a San Mateo CountyCivil Grand Jury report releasedWednesday.

About 12 percent of the county’s86,000 public school students are inspecial education. Some districts inthe north county — Bayshore,Brisbane, Jefferson, Pacifica, SouthSan Francisco and San Bruno —pay considerably less from theirgeneral fund for services comparedto other school districts. On aver-age, elementary school districts not

in the consortium pay 11.8 percentout of their general fund for specialeducation services. If those districtswould combine efforts, it wouldcreate a cost savings, according tothe findings in the 10-page report.

In 1975, Congress passed theIndividuals with DisabilitiesEducation Act, known as IDEA,giving any child with a handicap a

free and appropriate education.Defining a handicap has changedover the years and now includes 13categories. Originally, the lawspecified that 40 percent of thecosts for providing an appropriateeducation be covered by federalfunds. That contribution has neverbeen greater than 20 percent, leav-ing local school districts to make

up the difference. The amount paid per district

varies for many reasons: Number ofchildren with special needs, thetypes of services needed and abilityto offer said services.

Community dedicationHillsdale High School communitycomes together for Dedication Walk

By Heather MurtaghDAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Four blue benches, each flanked on either side by a flag-pole, line a new walkway on the southwest end of theHillsdale High School football field.

Bricks with engraved messages and knights line the walk-way along with 16 young trees. It’s part of the DedicationWalk, a final step in the new stadium. Finishing what mayseem like a small portion of the field took a major com-munity effort with volunteers coming together.Collaborative efforts from the community meant thelandscaped project could be completed as originallyenvisioned at substantially less. Savings are going backinto the school allowing for the purchase of new net-books.

“It’s very impressive to see this school communityand the greater community rally together to com-plete a project like this,” said Dave Pine, presidentof the San Mateo Union High School Board ofTrustees. “That community effort is a great wayto honor one of Hillsdale’s greatest faculty mem-bers.”

Bricks were sold a couple years ago when theschool was raising funds for the all-weatherfield as part of the updated stadium. Theeffort was in honor of one of Hillsdale HighSchool’s most memorable faculty members— Richard Mazzoncini, affectionately

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

The last of three men accused of trying tosteal gifts from an unincorporated RedwoodCity house just before Christmas was sen-tenced to a year in jail and three years super-vised probation for felony residential burglary.

Herman Mark Velez, 23, also received atwo-year suspended prison term which meanshe will be sent to the Department ofCorrections if he violates the terms of his pro-bation. Velez receives credit for 192 days

against the jail sentence of which he mustserve half.

Co-defendants Oscar Roberto Gomez andJose Luis Juarez, both 18, pleaded no contestin March to residential burglary in return for364 days in jail and three years supervisedprobation.

According to prosecutors, on Dec. 22, ahomeowner returned to find Gomez inside hishome, a Christmas tree knocked down andgifts strewn about. Juarez reportedly served aslookout in a car outside while Velez was in a

yard shed. The homeowner threw a rock atGomez who allegedly responded by knockinghim down and yelling death threats.

Prosecutors say Gomez and Velez ran downthe street and went to an unsuspecting neigh-bor’s home, claiming car trouble and askingfirst to borrow the phone and then for a ride.The neighbor reportedly let them inside andvolunteered to drive them for help because itwas cold.

Deputies arrived before they left and arrest-ed the men.

Poll:Governor’s race in statistical tieSACRAMENTO — Democrat Jerry Brown

and Republican Meg Whitman find themselvestied in their race for California governor, butvoters have grown increasingly disenchantedwith both candidates, according to a pollreleased Wednesday.

Brown has support from 44 percent of likelyvoters, compared with 43 percent forWhitman, but the difference is well within the

Field Poll’s margin of error.The poll shows 40 percent have an unfavor-

able impression of the state attorney generaland former governor, up from 32 percent inJanuary.

Since she won the primary, Whitman hasreleased television ads that are playing contin-uously throughout the state, one promoting hergeneral vision for California’s future and

another characterizing Brown’s first tenure asgovernor in the 1970s and early 1980s as a fail-ure.

Brown has yet to release any of his ownadvertisements, which has wounded the candi-date, said the poll’s director, Mark DiCamillo.

“You’re watching TV, you’re picking upmessages that are positive for Whitman andnegative for Brown,” DiCamillo said. “Hisimage rating could go down further if theadvertising continues without any answer.”

SAN BRUNO — YouTube is try-ing to become as brainless and pain-less to watch as the boob tube. In theprocess, the Web’s leading video sitehopes to learn enough about itsviewers to replace their remote con-trol.

Those ambitions came into sharp-er focus Wednesday with debut of aYouTube format called “Leanback.”The feature picks out high-definitionclips most likely to command a per-son’s attention and then automatical-ly serves up one video after another.

YouTube, based in San Bruno,believes viewers will feel likethey’re watching television if theydon’t have to search the website foranother clip every few minutes.

As it learns more about viewers’preferences, YouTube envisions aday when coach potatoes eventuallywon’t need their remote controlsbecause Leanback will do all thework for them.

“We want to remove the ’Whatnext?’ question” for viewers, saidKuan Yong, Leanback’s productmanager.

YouTube previewed Leanback inlate May when its owner, GoogleInc., announced its plans for anInternet-focused TV.

Dave Mandelkern, candidate forcounty treasurer-tax collector,announced the endorsements ofAssemblyman Jerry Hill, D-SanMateo, and former assemblymanGene Mullin, both representing the19th District.

The screenings occurred after theactress missed a court hearing and ajudge imposed stricter restrictions,including wearing an ankle alcoholmonitor.

The report was released a dayafter a judge sentenced the 24-year-old star of “Mean Girls” to 90 daysin jail and a three-month stint at aninpatient rehab center for missingcourt-mandated alcohol educationclasses.

One of the tests occurred on June7, hours after Lohan’s ankle monitorregistered alcohol in her system.

while clean — came too many hoursafter the alleged drinking to be use-ful.

Lohan has denied drinking, andthe alcohol report was not an issueduring Tuesday’s hearing.

San Francisco’s Bay to Breakers race to sober upSAN FRANCISCO — Bay to Breakers runners can show up

naked or dress up as a condom. They can even participate with-out paying the registration fee.

But organizers of the notoriously bawdy San Franciscofootrace, which marks its centennial next May, declared a lastcall for alcohol Wednesday, challenging the 92,000 people whodescend on the 7 1/2-mile course every year to show up sober.

After fielding complaints from residents along the route, los-ing a corporate sponsor and transporting 30 intoxicated peopleto the hospital this year, organizers of the nation’s 10th largestrace were hoping to end the tradition of drinking, spokesmanSam Singer said.

Violators of the new ban will be arrested, cited and fined,said Angela Fang, the Bay to Breakers general manager.

Deliberations end for day in transit shooting caseLOS ANGELES — A jury asked a judge about provocation

The disclosure came as the jury started talks anew after amale juror who had a vacation commitment was replaced by afemale alternate. None of the current jurors have stated theirrace as black.

The reconstituted panel, now comprised of eight women andfour men, went home before noon Wednesday after nearlythree hours of deliberations because another juror had a doc-tor’s appointment.

its availability across the country. The numbers provideindividuals and families with immediate referrals and con-nections to federal, regional or local services, from mentalhealth programs to childcare resources, domestic violenceshelters and financial counseling centers.

The bill has already secured 243 bipartisan cosponsors in

Dozens of nonprofits providing foodand shelter in San Mateo and SantaClara counties will share a $1.3 millioninfusion from the Silicon ValleyCommunity Foundation to help resi-dents continue weathering the economicstorm.

“This could not have come at a bettertime for our nonprofits,” said BeverlyBeasley Johnson, director the county’sHuman Service Agency.

HSA partners with a number of theorganizations but had to trim fundingthis year to deal with the county’s ownbudget challenges. The foundation’scontributions will help fill that gap,Beasley Johnson said.

The Salvation Army received thesmallest award in San Mateo County —$5,000 for an emergency food and shel-ter program at a new Redwood Cityfacility — but three received the $50,000maximum: Shelter Network, SecondHarvest Food Bank and SamaritanHouse. In between the two points, non-profits received grants in the $10,000,$15,000 and $25,000 range.

All awards were for food and shelterneeds which are at record highs as gov-ernment funding drops.

“Nonprofit organizations that experi-enced record levels of demand last yearare seeing still more people in need ofhelp. They simply cannot meet theregion’s needs without additional sup-port,” said Emmett D. Carson, SiliconValley Community Foundation presidentand CEO.

Of the groups sharing in the $1.3 mil-lion, 23 provide food, 23 provide shelter,four provide services to prevent home-

lessness and the others offer forms ofemergency assistance.

The grants announced yesterday arejust the latest financial aid effort by thefoundation. The group has awardedmore than $5 million for safety net serv-ices since December 2008, including aunique public-private partnership withSan Mateo County which distributed $1million specifically to needy causes inthat jurisdiction. A repeat effort wasn’tpossible this year because San MateoCounty is looking at cutting its own pro-grams to close the budget deficit.

Regardless, the county does provideapproximately $30 million yearly fornonprofits along with other safety-netservices through HSA, the HealthSystem and the Probation Department,said county spokesman MarshallWilson.

Mercury found in fish fromlake that supplies Bay Area

Researchers have found toxic mer-cury in fish caught at a reservoir thatprovides water to 2.5 million peoplein the San Francisco Bay area.

Authorities say largemouth basstaken from Lower Crystal SpringsReservoir in San Mateo County hadsome of the highest mercury levelsin the state.

However, the contamination does-n’t indicate that the water itself isunsafe.

The mercury was detected byresearchers at the San FranciscoEstuary Institute, who sampled sportfish at nearly 300 California lakesfor mercury and other contaminants.

The results, released last month,found that 21 percent of the lakeshad at least one fish species with amercury level considered unsafe toeat by children.

GULF SHORES, Ala. — There’sa dirty secret buried under Gulf ofMexico beaches after cleanup work-ers scrape away the oil washingashore.

Walk to a seemingly pristinepatch of sand, plop down in a chairand start digging with your barefeet, like everyone does at thebeach. Chances are you’ll walkaway with gooey tar between yourtoes.

So far, cleanup workers hired byBP have skimmed only the surface,using shovels or sifting machines toremove oil. The company is plan-ning a deeper cleaning program thatcould include washing or incinerat-ing sand once the leak is stopped offthe coast of Louisiana.

Some experts question whetherit’s better to just leave it alone andlet nature run its course, in partbecause oil that weathers on beach-es isn’t considered as much of ahealth hazard as fresh crude. Someenvironmentalists and local officialsfret about harm to the ecosystemand tourism.

“We have to have sand that is justas clean as it was before the spill,”said Tony Kennon, the mayor ofOrange Beach, a popular touriststretch reaching to the Florida stateline.

Meanwhile out in the Gulf, chop-py seas held up oil skimming opera-tions all along the Gulf coast,although boats off Louisiana’sshoreline hoped to be back at workbefore the day ended. Rough waveshave halted offshore skimming inMississippi, Florida and Louisianafor more than a week.

NEW YORK — It’s blistering. Scorching.Steamy. Brutal. Baking. Torrid. Ovenlike. It’srun-out-of-adjectives hot.

“A volcano — that’s what it feels like tome,” said Wayne Reid, mopping his brow andswigging bottled water after walking threeblocks to a New York subway stationWednesday morning. He was dressed for theheat — already a sticky 90 degrees and head-ed into triple digits — in shorts and a tank top,but it didn’t matter.

“You could run butt-naked out there andstill be hot,” he said.

Heat waves are more oppressive in bigcities, because concrete, asphalt and steelabsorb more solar energy during the day andare slow to release it after the sun goes down,offering people little relief at night.

In the nation’s biggest city of them all, WallStreeters are sweltering in business suits onsubway platforms, senior citizens are schlep-ping to the grocery store on streets that seem

like frying pans, and New Yorkers overall arehandling it by doing what they do best: cop-ing, with a little complaining thrown in.

Not that New Yorkers, on the fourth day ofa record-breaking heat wave stifling much ofthe Eastern Seaboard, were suffering alone.

With triple-digit highs recorded from NewYork to Charlotte, N.C., roads buckled, nurs-ing homes with air-conditioning problemswere forced to evacuate, and utilities calledfor conservation as the electrical grid nearedits capacity.

New York, where many buildings predatethe age of climate control and many peopledon’t have cars, is not for the faint of hot. Themercury hit 100 by 3 p.m. Wednesday aftertopping out at 103 on Tuesday.

“When I get up, I feel like I could shower allthe time,” Jeffrey Boone said Wednesday as hewalked to a gym from his un-air-conditionedManhattan apartment. He has a window fan,but it is not up to the task of 80-degree nightsor triple-digit days.

“What can we do? We survive,” said Boone,a security guard.

U.S.: NYC subway bomb plot linked to British cell

NEW YORK — A failed plot to set offbombs in the New York subway system lastyear was part of a larger al-Qaida terroristconspiracy that included a similar attackplanned in England, U.S. prosecutors saidWednesday.

In an indictment unsealed Wednesday infederal court in Brooklyn, prosecutorsadded several al-Qaida figures to the case,including Adnan Shukrijumah, an FBI

most-wanted terrorist.Shukrijumah, one of the al-Qaida leaders in

charge of plotting attacks worldwide, wasdirectly involved in recruiting and plotting theNew York attack, prosecutors said. AttorneyGeneral Eric Holder has called that plot one ofthe most dangerous since since the Sept. 11,2001 attacks.

The indictment added new terrorismcharges against Adis Medunjanin, whoalready was awaiting trial in the subway case.

Bumping bikesEditor,I tried to take Caltrain No. 312

from Millbrae to Mountain Viewwith my bicycle. Due to mechani-cal breakdown, my train was can-celed and its passengers boardedthe next train. This combined trainarrived at Millbrae with only onebike car and I was not allowed toboard with my bike because thatcar was filled to capacity. Twoother cyclists quickly locked uptheir bikes and jumped on the trainwhile three of us with bikes wereleft behind. The conductor told meto just take the next train. She hadno knowledge of what time itwould come or if it would make allstops. I looked at the schedule andthe next Millbrae train, 218, didnot go to Mountain View, my des-tination.

So, to get to work at a reason-able time, I had to bike home andthen drive to work. I was left witha punched ride that I did not use. Ihad to pollute the air to get towork. I do value all the progressCaltrain has made, but until alltrains have two bike cars there ismore work to be done. I also hopethat plans move forward to givepriority to cyclists in the bike carsthrough the posting of signsbecause there are always emptyseats in other cars for non-bikers.Bikers not being near their bikes isboth inconvenient and a securityrisk due to bike theft.

No chance for success in Afghanistan

Editor,Behind General McChrystal’s

dismissal is the stark reality of amonumental failed policy whichhas no chance of success. Our con-tinued presence in Afghanistan hasintensified anger and is puttingNATO forces in ever increasing

danger as evidenced by the recordnumber of fatalities in June. Inspite of the setbacks, the U.S. mili-tary has resurrected the Vietnamwar speeches, made a few changesand continue to repeat the mythicalmantra of “winning the war on ter-rorism,” reminiscent of “peacewith honor,” declarations of formerPresident Nixon.

According to Norman Solomon(author of “War Made Easy: HowPresidents and Pundits KeepSpinning Us to Death”) the mili-tary “hopes to ramp up its coun-terinsurgency campaign even fur-ther, and “create a never-endingdemand for the primary productsupplied by the military: Perpetualwar.” It has been 10 long years, thelongest war in American history,and we are in complete denial of astark reality — the Afghan peopleare enraged with the large numberof civilian casualties and resentour presence.

Replacing McChrystal withPetraeus will make no differenceto the eventual outcome — moredeaths and staggering deficits. It istragic that Obama continues toabandon his campaign promises toclose the torture chambers atGuantanamo and Bagram AirForce Base and bring this war toan end. It is time President Obamafrees himself from the tight clutch-es of the military who have alreadyswallowed more than $1 trillion ofour tax money.

Paradox in prison cellsEditor,Most voters are probably oblivi-

ous to an evolving prison crisis —a continuing drop in prisoninmates. The governor and legisla-tors were so concerned about adangerous, and apparently totallyunanticipated, prison overcrowdingproblem, that they passed AB 900,a $6.5 billion prison constructionbill. They passed it without much

review even though the LegislativeAnalysist (LAO) claimed it wouldresult in a 32,000 prison bed sur-plus. They didn’t even have time tolook at crime and arrest projec-tions, even though prisons last 50to 100 years. Prompt action wasobviously needed and they took it.Amazingly, the prison populationhas dropped by over 16,000inmates since passage of AB 900,the $6.5 billion prison constructionlaw, reflecting a steady drop incrimes and arrests. Luckily, theCalifornia Department ofCorrections & Rehabilitation has aneat strategy to reduce the antici-pated prison bed surplus — justclose contract facilities. They haveclosed 2,440 beds so far and willclose more. Closing the 2,440 bedsadds about $74 million to prisonannual operating costs and $730million for new construction butthat is really peanuts in a $10 bil-lion budget. Good show!

Childish anticsEditor,Former Redwood City council-

man Jim Hartnett’s guest perspec-tive “Cohen concerns” (from June29 edition of the Daily Journal) isa prime example of “Ain’t LoveGrand!” Hartnett is responding tothe fact that Menlo ParkCouncilman Andy Cohen is filinga complaint against Redwood CityCouncilwoman Rosanne Foust for“a conflict of interest.” Foust isHartnett’s wife and a member ofthe Redwood City Council. Ain’tlove grand! Instead of defendinghis wife and denying she did any-thing wrong or illegal, Hartnettgoes on and attempts to soil thereputation of Cohen by using sar-casm, infantile behavior and child-like warnings like, “Better not, orI’ll tell!” It reminds when my kidswere around 5 or 6 years old. Theywould fight and argue and come to

me or their mother and say, “Hehit me; She hit me; He touched mydoll; She moved my toys, and soon and so on … .” Childish!

I can see any husband whowants to defend his wife’s honorand reputation. But, when bothHartnett and Foust are in the verypublic “political spotlight” inRedwood City, every move theymake is the public’s business,including other city councilmem-bers from different cities. That’sthe way “public/political life” is!Unless both Hartnett and Foustthink local politics is more like“do as we say, not as we do.” Ain’tlove grand!

Letters to the editor

The U.S. Post Office isbeginning to look like agood investment. Actually,

not the Post Office itself — thatentity can’t seem to dig itself outan ever-expanding financial hole.But stamps. The way the price ofthose babies keeps escalating you’dthink it was a share of Apple stockright before the release of the iPad.In fact, I think the proposed rate forstamps is now on par with the flail-ing IPO for Tesla.

Faced with a deficit hoveringsomewhere around a measly $7 bil-lion — a number scoffed at by thecash-strapped state of California —the post office announced this weekplans to hike stamps two morecents next year.

Wait — didn’t stamp prices justincrease? And what the heck is theprice of a standard stamp anyway?

One could look at the rarely-needed stamps currently collectingdust in the bottom of a drawer orcurling off their adhesive backingin the bottom of a purse but itwon’t do any good. Ever since thepostal system gave up stamps withthe price in the corner, users havereally no idea how much they areworth. They only know the stampsare “Forever” and perpetually validto mail a basic envelope.

That’s what makes postage sucha first-class racket. The lack of anumber keeps buyers blissfullyignorant and therefore less likely toriot with price increases that arecoming with more and more fre-quency. Unlike trying to use anoutdated stamp and realizing it isno longer good, the Forever stampdoesn’t carry the same financialepiphany.

This is also why we should allbid adieu to the stock market andstop pawning off old gold jewelryin hopes of cashing in on highprices. Stamps are obviously thebetter way to make a quick buck.

Shell out the money for thou-sands of stamp sheets now at thecurrent price and sell them off laterfor something just over that amountbut below the future going rate.

There will always be buyers —those folks who need only one soli-tary stamp for that bill that refusesto set up automatic withdrawal oronline payments; grandparents andrelatives of a different generation

who still hold fast to the notion ofa handwritten thank you note; theEmily Post devotees who can’tbring themselves to send out wed-ding invitations and graduationparty notices with Evite.

Certainly the postal servicewould have us believe its demise isimminent.

The economy. The lack of per-sonal correspondence. E-mail.

Using any explanation short ofLindsay Lohan’s infamous volcanoexcuse, the postal service tries toconvince the tech-savvy public it— and possibly rumored Internetcreator Al Gore — are to blame forits uncertain future. If stamp pricesdon’t increase, it argues, there willbe no Saturday mail service and nostamp vending machines and fewercarriers and less customer serviceuntil eventually the entire systemwill cease to exist.

While this might put a damperon any black market stamp indus-try, the failure of postal servicewon’t be a complete loss. After all,

soon for the price of a few stampsone could buy and train a messen-ger pigeon or perhaps keep a bikecourier on call.

But as long as there are somewilling — and needing to — usethe mail service rather than otherdelivery options, the chances of acomplete postal meltdown are nil.

The only question is just howlong customers will put up with theconstant increases.

Obviously, the answer is Forever.

President Barack Obama’s immigra-tion address at American Universityhad been promoted as an effort to get

the ball rolling on long-stalled comprehen-sive reform legislation. Instead, it came offas a contradictory mix of high-blown rheto-ric with a hefty dose of political pessimism.

Obama began with a review of the key roleimmigration has played in the developmentof the United States, including fueling ayouthful work force essential to economicexpansion. He described how various wavesof newcomers, from Poles and Irish toChinese and Hispanics, have fueled nativistresentments over the decades.

According to the president, the latest con-troversy has been exacerbated by the failureof the national government to secure our bor-ders, and the resulting influx of an estimated11 million people who are here illegally.

Most of them are men and women “simplyseeking a better life for themselves and theirchildren,” said the president. “They workhard, they save, they stay out of trouble.” Onthe other hand, their presence “makes a

mockery” of all those attempting to followthe time-consuming and expensive path ofimmigrating legally.

Blanket amnesty isn’t a desirable solution,argued Obama, but neither is forced deporta-tion, because it would be logistically impos-sible and wildly expensive. Yet, the newcom-ers must “get right with the law” by payingtheir taxes, paying a fine, and learningEnglish before they can be eligible for citi-zenship.

Where solid bipartisan support for such anapproach existed only a few years ago,including both President George W. Bushand Arizona senator and former presidentialcandidate John McCain, in the polarizeddebate of today GOP support has meltedaway. What the president didn’t note is thatmoderates in his own party facing midtermelections are showing little zeal for walkinginto the immigration policy furnace.

Until all the broken parts of our immigra-tion system are fixed — most advantageous-ly in a coordinated package — the situationwill only deteriorate further as states seektheir own remedies. Unfortunately, the presi-dent’s words give little hope that Washingtonwill produce change anytime soon.

NEW YORK — The Dow Jonesindustrials climbed back above 10,000Wednesday after investors had secondthoughts about the heavy selling in thestock market during the last two weeks.

Stocks soared and the Dow rose 275points after a modest gain Tuesday. Itwas the market’s first back-to-backadvance since mid-June and the firstclose above psychological benchmark of10,000 since June 28. But analysts warnthat the buying doesn’t mean thatinvestors are more optimistic. They saidthere wasn’t a single catalyst behind themove and that it looked like a case ofinvestors scooping up stocks that hadbecome cheaper after heavy losses. TheDow had fallen 7.3 percent over twoweeks.

“It’s just more of a reaction to a littlebit too much negativity,” said MarcHarris, co-head of global research forRBC Capital Markets in New York.

The Dow and broader indexes gained

more than 2 percent. Trading volumewas light, however, signaling that manyskeptical investors were staying out ofthe market. Interest rates rose as someinvestors dumped Treasurys in favor ofriskier assets like stocks.

Financial stocks rose on an upbeatprofit forecast from State Street Corp.The stock gained 9.9 percent. Materialsstocks rose after having logged steepdrops over worries about the economy.Aluminum producer Alcoa Inc. climbed3.3 percent, while U.S. Steel rose 5.7percent.

Wednesday’s big gain fit into a patternof volatility that began in late April,when the Dow began tumbling from its2010 high of 11,205.03. The Dow hadfallen 13 percent since then, and the longslide included many triple-digit moves.

The protracted drop began on con-cerns that debt problems in Greece andother European countries would stiflethe continent’s recovery and eventuallythe recovery in the U.S. But in the past

few weeks, stocks have been tumblingon signs that the domestic rebound isslowing. Some traders were selling onfears that the country is headed back intorecession. They were also buyingTreasurys so they could put their moneyinto a safe place.

Jack Ablin, chief investment officer atHarris Private Bank in Chicago, said thatwhat’s called a “double-dip” is unlikely,but the idea of one is scary because thegovernment wouldn’t have many optionsto revive the economy a second time.

“When you’re driving around on aspare tire you’re on the lookout fornails,” he said.

There were no economic reports toinfluence the market on Wednesday.Traders were getting a series of reportsThursday likely to give some insight intoconsumers’ behavior. The government’sweekly report on jobless claims is dueout, and retailers will report June salesresults. Investors will be looking for anysigns that layoffs are slowing, and thatconsumers are feeling better aboutspending.

DURBAN, South Africa — Spainoutplayed Germany yet again.

And now the Spanish have thebiggest prize of all within theirsights.

Spain will play for the World Cuptitle for the very first time, thanks toCarles Puyol’s goal on a powerfulheader in the second half

Wednesday night. The 1-0 victoryover Germany was a repeat of theteams’ meeting in the EuropeanChampionship final two years ago,which gave Spain its first major titlein 44 years.

“This is one of the greatestmoments for Spain, for us to be inthe final of the World Cup, it’s his-tory,” said David Villa, who remainstied with the Netherlands WesleySneijder for tournament scoring

leader at five goals. “And we want tomake more history in the final.”

Somebody will.Spain faces the Netherlands on

Sunday at Soccer City inJohannesburg, ensuring a first-timechampion. The Dutch, who beatUruguay 3-2 on Tuesday night, havelost in their only two trips to thefinal. The two teams have never metin the World Cup.

In poker parlance, LeBron James has“overvalued” his hand. In fact, hemay have just plain misread it. And

when he and his one-hour special on ESPN— titled “The Decision” — airs at 6 p.m.PDT today, we may find he’s going to foldhis hand, with a wink and smile.

The 2010 free agency season was toutedas one of the best ever with several heavy-weights — James, Dwyane Wade andChris Bosh — entering free agency, whileother big names — Dirk Nowitzki and

Paul Pierce — optedout of their contractsto test the waters.

The general consen-sus was free agencywould shake out thus-ly: LeBron wouldchoose his team firstand then have otherscome to play withhim.

Unfortunately forLeBron, the rest ofthe NBA did not wait.Despite the wild

rumor of LeBron, Wade and Bosh all play-ing for the same team turned into a bit of asmoke screen for Wade and Bosh, whoboth agreed to sign with Miami. Think theHeat have any money left for LeBron?

The New York Knicks — much rumoredto be LeBron’s destination — went andsigned former Phoenix big man AmareStoudemire to a $100 million deal. Do theKnicks have any money left for LeBron?

Chicago — which was hot after Wadeand involved with a rumor that possiblyhad Bosh and LeBron joining the Bulls.That didn’t materialize, so the Bulls wentout and agreed to an $80-million deal withpower forward Carlos Boozer. Do the Bullshave any money left for LeBron?

OAKLAND — Mark Teixeira hit a three-run homer to help A.J. Burnett win for the firsttime in more than five weeks, and the NewYork Yankees completed a sweep of theOakland Athletics with a 6-2 victoryWednesday night.

Derek Jeter had a go-ahead single andRamiro Pena also singled in a run in NewYork’s five-run fourth inning. The Yankeeswon their fifth straight and earned their firstroad sweep of the season.

Burnett (7-7) pitched seven strong inningsto end a six-start winless stretch in which hewas 0-5 since beating the Indians on May 30.

Nick Swisher homered and doubled amonghis three hits against his former team, and he’sstill doing all he can to be added to the ALAll-Star team.

Alex Rodriguez went 0 for 4 with twostrikeouts and a walk a night after hitting twohome runs, with a grand slam. He has 597career clouts heading into a four-game seriesin his old Seattle stomping grounds startingThursday night. A-Rod is looking to becomeonly the seventh player to join the 600-club.

The Yankees are a season-best 22 gamesover .500 at 53-31 and hold a two-game leadin the AL East over Tampa Bay, which sweptBoston to send the Red Sox to 4 1/2 back.New York finishes up its final West Coast trip

of the year against the Mariners. The Yankeeswon their fourth straight road game and 10thin 13 away from Yankee Stadium.

New York swept the A’s at the Coliseum ina series of three or more games for just thethird time since 1980 and first since takingthree in a row here from May 13-15, 2005.

The A’s trail the season series 1-5, the thirdstraight year they’ve come up short to NewYork. The Yankees are 17-4 against Oaklandover the past three campaigns. The A’s stillmust go to Yankee Stadium for a four-gameset from Aug. 30-Sept. 2.

Burnett got back on track with this one. Heallowed two runs on five hits, struck out threeand walked two. Gio Gonzalez (7-6) was doneafter equaling his season-low of four innings.He didn’t get much support from the offense,either.

The A’s took a brief lead on Coco Crisp’sRBI single in the third after the Yankeesmissed chances in each of the first threeinnings, but that was it until Jack Cust addedan RBI single in the sixth.

Coming off a win at Cleveland after goingwinless in his previous four outings, Gonzalezmatched his season high with five walks. Hewas tagged for five runs and eight hits and hestruck out five.

NOTES: Swisher on boosting his chancesto win the online voting to be an All-Star:

“Keep pushin’, keep pushin’.” ... Yankees 2BRobinson Cano was held out of the lineup forthe first time all season, a chance to rest histweaked back that he hurt Sunday againstToronto. The team also decided to pull himfrom Monday’s Home Run Derby at the All-Star game in Anaheim. ... The A’s called up

RHP Ross Wolf from Triple-A Sacramentoand optioned RHP Tyson Ross to Sacramentoto develop him as a starter. To clear a spot onthe 40-man roster, the A’s transferred EricChavez to the 60-day disabled list. ... It was 58degrees at first pitch, yet another unseason-ably cool summer night in the Bay Area.

MILWAUKEE — Rookie Buster Posey hittwo homers, including his first career grandslam, and Tim Lincecum struck out 10Wednesday night to lead the San FranciscoGiants over the Milwaukee Brewers 15-2.

Posey drove in six runs, going 4 for 4 andscoring three times. He capped a seven-runfourth inning with his slam.

Andres Torres, Aubrey Huff and Posey allhomered in the first — 1999 was the last timethe Giants connected three times in the openinginning.

Lincecum (9-4) needed only a fraction of thesupport. The two-time reigning NL Cy Young

Award winner scatteredfour hits in seven innings.

Lincecum had lost hisprevious two starts. Heavoided dropping threestarts in a row for the firsttime in his four-year career.

The Giants are a winaway from completing afour-game sweep onThursday after coming into

this series as losers of eight of nine. SanFrancisco has outscored the Brewers 27-4 in thefirst three games and every player in its starting

lineup had a hit Wednesday night.It was Milwaukee’s fourth straight loss, and

came at a time when the club is trying to decideits role in the trade market.

Lincecum, the first Giants pitcher with threestraight All-Star selections since Juan Marichal,had lost consecutive starts five times in hiscareer. Staked a 4-0 lead when he took themound, he stayed aggressive and kept theBrewers guessing for his 49th career win.

Torres led off the game with a homer and Huffmade it 2-0 against Chris Narveson (7-6) with asecond-deck shot. Posey’s two-run homer madeit 4-0.

Posey moved from his usual catcher’s spot tofirst base a day after being hit by a pitch on theleft knee. He has 13 hits in his last 25 at-bats,

and saved his biggest shot for the fourth.Narveson’s throwing error on a bunt by

Lincecum helped the Giants loaded the basesand Freddy Sanchez tripled to make it 7-1.Narveson walked two more to load the basesagain and Posey homered off reliever ChrisCapuano.

Edgar Renteria, who’d been hitless in 16 at-bats before two fourth-inning singles, drove in arun in the sixth. Torres doubled in two more inthe inning to make it 15-1.

Rickie Weeks homered off Lincecum in third.NOTES: The Brewers have one hit in their

last 27 at-bats with runners in scoring position.According to STATS, the Giants last hit threehomers in the first inning on Aug. 22, 1999, alsoagainst the Brewers.

thrilled with how free agency played out.He, James and Bosh were the three kingpins

of this long-hyped market, a trio of All-Starswho came into the league together seven yearsago and structured their last contracts just tohit the open market together this summer, thelast under the current terms of the league’scollective bargaining agreement.

They’ve talked often about playing together.Now, the ball is clearly in King James’

court.“I expect us to compete for a champi-

onship,” Bosh told ESPN. “I think bothDwyane and I, we both wanted an opportuni-ty where right away we would be competing.... We’re ready to sacrifice a lot of things inorder to do that. It’s not about the money. It’snot about anything else except for winning.I’m a winner. Dwyane’s a winner. We’regoing to bring winning to Miami.”

They’re going to need some help.Regardless of whether James comes to

Miami, the Heat still have only four playerscurrently in the picture for this coming sea-son: Wade, Bosh, Michael Beasley and MarioChalmers. Miami is deeply in discussionswith several free agents, including BrendanHaywood, Mike Miller, Raymond Felton andUdonis Haslem — whom Wade has playedwith in all seven of his previous seasons.

Haslem and Bosh play the same position,and like Wade, are represented by the sameagent, Henry Thomas. Bosh’s arrival figuresto make it more difficult for Haslem — whohas other offers — to stay in Miami.

The Raptors do have several sign-and-tradeoptions from teams interested in acquiringBosh, who averaged career-bests of 24.0points and 10.8 rebounds last season forToronto.

Miami came into the free-agent period witharound $44 million of cap space, not includ-ing $16 million or so earmarked for Wade,thanks to years of avoiding just about any dealwhere money would have been committed forthe 2010-11 season.

REUTERSSeven-time winner Lance Armstrong briefly pulls ahead of Tour de France leader FabianCancellara,who is 2 minutes,30 seconds ahead of Armstrong after Wednesday’s Stage 3.

By Jamey KeatenTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REIMS, France — Lance Armstrong’s flat tirehas done more than just deflate some of his hopesfor another Tour de France victory. It’s also causeda bit of second-guessing within his RadioShackteam.

Before Wednesday’s flat fourth stage, won byItaly’s Alessandro Petacchi in a sprint, Armstrongsaid he and his teammates could have better man-aged the cobblestones where he punctured a tireand lost time the previous day.

Wednesday’s ride didn’t shake up the overallstandings, with Switzerland’s Fabian Cancellararetaining the yellow jersey, and many riders werestill pondering the blows suffered by Armstrongand RadioShack on Tuesday.

“In hindsight, as a team, I think we all agree wecould have ridden differently yesterday,”Armstrong said. “You can look at the position wewent into the cobbles (in), you can look at perhapsthe amount of the time we spent on the sides,which I think has an effect.”

He said “you obviously get more flats” on theroadsides instead of the cobblestones. Some ridersuse the sides to avoid the jarring bumps over thestones. While Armstrong took about 45 seconds toget a new tire, rivals like Alberto Contador andAndy Schleck zoomed ahead to gain seconds thatwill be valuable when the three-week race reach-es the mountains later on.

It was a far cry from Armstrong’s seven-yeardomination at the Tour from 1999 to 2005, whenhe often lavished praise on teammates for theirhelp in his victories — and when luck, more often

than not, was on his side.Now, he’s trailing, and the blame is to be

shared.“Like they say, you create your own luck, and

we created our bad luck yesterday,” Armstrongsaid. “We made our luck, we can’t blame anybodybut ourselves.”

Armstrong received a huge fan ovation as heleft the team bus Wednesday. He took so long get-ting to the start line that he didn’t sign in at thestarter’s podium — and got a $94 fine for it.

The overall standings remained the same afterWednesday’s 95.4-mile ride from Cambrai to thechampagne capital Reims — a mostly flat trekthat was tailor-made for sprinters.

Lampre rider Petacchi earned his second stagevictory this year in a mass sprint, with Armstrongand other title contenders finishing safely in thepack with the same time: 3 hours, 34 minutes, 55seconds. Cancellara did too, and retained the yel-low jersey for a fourth day.

Armstrong crossed 36th, Contador was 32ndand Schleck placed 58th.

Johan Bruyneel, RadioShack’s manager andArmstrong’s longtime mentor, said the Texan andthe team “are all disappointed” because of his lossof time against Schleck and Contador — twostrong climbers who will be tough to get ahead ofin the Alps and Pyrenees.

“But it’s two and a half weeks to go, what hap-pens to us today can happen to somebody elsetomorrow,” Bruyneel said.

Overall, among the title contenders, two-timeTour runner-up Cadel Evans was third, 39 secondsback, Schleck sixth, 1:09 back, Contador ninth,1:40 back, and Armstrong 18th, 2:30 behind.

‘Bad luck’ plaguing Armstrong

AKRON, Ohio — More than two years ofhype, drama, conjecture and expectation havedwindled to a few more hours.

LeBron James’ big moment is here — not asan NBA champion but as a free agent. Therewill be no parade, no ring ceremony, no ban-

ner raising.Instead, on a prime time

made-for-TV special hishandlers contracted withESPN, James willannounce Thursday nightwhere he’ll play next sea-son and beyond. Fansfrom coast to coast willtune in to watch, with theones in his home state of

Ohio praying they won’t have their hearts bro-ken again.

The Decision, it’s been dubbed.In Cleveland, they can only hope it doesn’t

join The Drive, The Fumble, The Shot andThe Move in the lexicon of sports misery.

James has kept everyone waiting. It’s timeto come clean.

“I’ll be watching,” said fellow free agentsuperstar Dwyane Wade, who agreed to re-sign with Miami on Wednesday and may betrying to recruit James. “We’ve scheduled it.I’ll make sure I’m in front of the TV tomorrow

at 9 p.m. to watch like everyone else.”James will announce his plans within the

first 10 minutes of the special, NorbyWilliamson, ESPN’s vice president of produc-tion, told the Associated Press. He said sports-caster Jim Gray, who was hand-picked byJames’ team, will handle the introduction,announcement and initial questions. A personfamiliar with the plans tells the AP the inter-view will take place at the Boys & Girls Clubof Greenwich, Conn.

James offered no hints about his plans onhis final, full day of free agency. His secretremains safe, despite an information frenzyand growing speculation the 25-year-oldsuperstar might join Olympic teammatesWade and Chris Bosh in Miami, a move thatwould rock the league.

That’s exactly what new Cavs coach ByronScott doesn’t want. He showed up unan-nounced at James’ summer camp at theUniversity of Akron and spent an hour watch-ing the two-time MVP and Cleveland playersJamario Moon, Danny Green, ChristianEyenga and assistant coach Chris Jent scrim-mage.

Scott, who was part of the Cavs’ presenta-tion team that wooed James last week at themegastar’s business office in downtownCleveland, said he did not speak with Jamesbut was keeping his fingers and toes crossedthat James’ loyalty to his home state will swayhis decision.

When the final whistle sounded, the Spanishplayers on the field thrust their arms in the airwhile the substitutes raced onto the field. Twoteammates grabbed Villa, who has scored allbut two of Spain’s goals here, and carried himon their shoulders.

In the stands, Spanish fans partied deep intothe night, waving flags, banging on drums andsinging chorus after chorus of “Ole! Ole! Ole!”

“We worked hard to get here and now wehave made the final,” Villa said. “It’s a greatthing.”

For Germany, it’s yet another disappoint-ment. The three-time champs were makingtheir third straight trip to the World Cup semi-finals. Yet just like in 2006, they are headed forthe third-place game.

“The disappointment is very big. We had alot as our goal and we didn’t succeed,” saidcaptain Philipp Lahm, who was in tears afterthe game. “Right now, I really don’t feel likeplaying for third place.”

Indeed, the Germans looked devastated.Bastian Schweinsteiger was on his knees forseveral minutes, and not even a consoling paton the back from Puyol helped.

The Germans retooled their team after theEuros loss in Vienna, bringing in youngsterssuch as Mesut Oezil, Sami Khedira and goal-

scoring machine Thomas Mueller, who wassuspended against Spain after picking up a sec-ond yellow card in the quarters. The newcom-ers infused Germany with a speed and smooth-ness few other teams could match, and it rolledover old rivals England and Argentina by acombined score of 8-1.

But there’s something about Spain thatbrings out the worst in the Germans, and theylooked as if they were back in Vienna for muchof the night.

Those counterattacks that were so devastat-ing against England and Argentina never reallymaterialized, and the midfield spacing that hadbeen so impressive was almost nonexistent.

Then again, making opponents look bad isbecoming Spain’s trademark.

“We can say Germany wasn’t as good as wethought they’d be today,” Spain coach Vicentedel Bosque said. “But that is due to the excel-lent performance of our team.”

Spain has been the best team in Europe — allthe world, really — for much of the last fouryears. It’s lost all of two games sinceNovember 2006, one a shocker to Switzerlandin the group-stage opener. With all but two ofthe starting lineup playing for either Barcelonaor Real Madrid, the Spanish play with a seam-lessness and fluidity that’s almost intuitive.

“They have been playing together for sever-al years, they are very cohesive, their movescome automatically,” German striker MiroslavKlose said. “They were simply the betterteam.”


SOCCER

Perhaps using some fuzzy math, any of theaforementioned teams could, conceivably,work the numbers to land LeBron. Bosh andWade have reportedly agreed to less moneyin hopes of leaving enough for LeBron —assuming he wants to play for less money.

Even without factoring money into theequation, perception has now changed aboutLeBron. Coming into free agency, he was tobe the pied piper, with the NBA — teams,coaches and players — blithely falling inbehind him.

It’s not working out that way and nowLeBron will appear to be the one followingothers. Think LeBron could ever be “TheMan” in Miami with Wade around? Hooking

up with Stoudemire? The Knicks still won’tbe much better than they have the last fewyears, as now power forward David Lee isrumored to want out.

The big question about LeBron is: Whatdoes he want his legacy to be? Is he aboutmoney, glitz or championships? Can he fig-ure out a way to combine all three? Hittingthe trifecta is probably not feasible. Whilethe most glamorous town might be NewYork, the Knicks are probably the furthestaway from competing for a championship.Chicago might have the talent, but trying toreplace Michael Jordan? Good luck withthat. Miami might have the best nightlife andgood talent, the money just won’t be there.

So that leaves LeBron — back inCleveland. It’s the place where he can makethe most money — because of NBA rules,the Cavaliers can offer more money on areturning free agent than he can get from a

new team. Also, while we’ve seenCleveland’s faults in the playoffs, theCavaliers were still a damn good team thelast several seasons.

While LeBron may end up folding thishand, it’s only one. And when you are thechip leader, you can afford to lay down goodcards every now and then, especially if youknow you’re beat.

***What started with 32 teams June 11 is

down the final two as the World Cup comesto a close. In the semifinals, Netherlands beatUruguay 3-2 Tuesday, while Spain got pastGermany 1-0 Wednesday.

Here are a couple of interesting tidbits tokeep you interested in the Cup.

• Despite having long, storied, successfulsoccer histories, the Spain-Netherlands win-ner will be a World Cup champion for thefirst time. Netherlands has been to the finals

two previous times: 1974 and 1978, losing toWest Germany and Argentina.

Spain, incredibly, has never even been tofinal. It had never advanced past the quarter-finals until this year.

• This will be the 19th World Cup final, butSunday’s winner will only be the eighthWorld Cup champion. There are five teamswith multiple titles and two one-time win-ners. Brazil leads the way with five WorldCup championships, followed by Italy (4),Germany (3), Argentina and Uruguay (2),England and France (1).

• Unlike nearly every other professionalsporting event, the World Cup actually playsa third-place game. Uruguay and Germanywill face off Saturday.

runner picked off first and on four other occa-sions its players were gunned down trying to legout an extra base.

“We typically pride ourselves on baserunningand today we made mistake, after mistake, aftermistake,” Foster City manager Dusty Landwehrsaid. “I don’t know if it was a lack of focus orwhat, but it’s tough because the kids fought hardand we had opportunities. You just can’t make allthe mistakes we did in a close game like this. Iguess we were a little too aggressive with ourbaserunning and it came back to bite us in theass.”

Even though both teams committed costlymistakes, they engaged in a back-and-forth duelworthy of a championship bout. South City went

ahead with two runs in the bottom of the firstinning before Foster City tied it with two in thethird. Foster City then took its only lead, 3-2,with a run in the fourth before South Cityanswered with four in the bottom half.

Undeterred, Foster City tied things up onceagain with a three-run sixth, but South Cityscored the decisive blow with the game-winningrun in the bottom half. David Jimenez drew aone-out walk, Omar Reyes reached on a bunt sin-gle and Dan Strupeni walked to load the bases.

Greg Bildhauer followed with a sacrifice fly toleft field to score Jimenez for the game-winner.Freitas pointed to Bildhauer’s at-bat and BrettBolentini’s two-run double with two outs in thefifth as examples of his team’s clutch situationalhitting.

“It’s something we work on a lot,” said Freitas,who has been managing South City since 1977.“When our kids get opportunities, they usuallytake advantage of them. I can’t say enough aboutthe kids to go 16-3 (in league) after losing our ace

who was also one of our top two hitters.”That would be Joe Marcucci, who suffered a

torn ACL two weeks into the season. However,the Indians persevered through a potentially dev-astating loss. Brandon Low, who startedWednesday’s game and allowed two earned runsover five innings in a no-decision, developed intothe ace South City needed when Marcucci wentdown.

“B-Low has been excellent for us,” Freitassaid. “The last game Brandon pitched, he didn’tget out of the first inning, but he came backstrong today. He never had two bad outings in arow all year, and we had confidence in him thathe could throw strong again.”

South City reliever Ramzy Azar had a roughsixth inning, with Foster City tying the score at 6,before retiring the side in order in the seventh toice the outcome.

Both teams had eight hits. Shun Okai, AndrewJew and Faraz Fatemi led Foster City with twohits apiece. Jew’s two-run single in the top of the

sixth made it 6-6. Bolentini was the lone South City player to

record two hits, but leadoff man Jimenez reachedbase in all four of his plate appearances andscored three times.

While Landwehr said it was a tough defeat,he’s excited to see how his team does in section-als, which will be a double-elimination format.Foster City conceivably has the pitching depthand cohesiveness to make a deep run in section-als.

“The one thing I really like is this team hasbeen together all year,” Landwehr said. “They’replaying with a lot of chemistry and it shows onthe field.”

The same can be said about the Indians, whopulled out a 9-8 win over Redwood City in a tautsemifinal.

“These guys have played well all season,”Freitas said. “It’s great to see them rewarded witha championship.”


COLT


CAPE TOWN, South Africa — No stylepoints. Winning is what matters.

After losing in their two previous trips tothe World Cup final, the Netherlands is deter-mined not to let its flashy play get ahead ofgoing home with the big prize.

“We know we can play football,” Dutchcaptain Giovanni van Bronckhorst said. “Tobe mentally strong is now most important.”

The Netherlands reached the 1974 and ’78

finals with some of soccer’s greatest players,but each time the host nation — WestGermany and then Argentina — beat Oranjeteams with a reputation for overconfidence.

After Tuesday’s 3-2 semifinal win overUruguay, coach Bert van Marwijk is deter-mined to make sure that his team’s 10-gamewinning streak — including six at this tourna-ment — does not create the same problem.

Van Marwijk’s memories of the 1974 tour-nament, when the Dutch thrilled the worldonly to fall 2-1 to the Germans, are too strong

for him to let his players fall to the sameweakness.

“Often when we start beating people, webecome overly confident and then we are senthome,” Van Marwijk said. “We did lose thematch whereas we should have won it becausewe played wonderfully well.

Dutch great “Johan Cruyff was the bestfootball player that ever existed.”

The Netherlands could face Germany in thefinal — or Spain, depending on the outcomeof Wednesday’s semifinal.

Assistant coach Frank de Boer was adefender in 1998 when the Dutch last reachedthe semifinals — only to be eliminated byBrazil in a penalty shootout. He says the char-acter of the Dutch team has changed over theyears.

“In ’98, we were happy just to get in thesemis and could play Brazil,” he said.

He noticed the same attitude among theUruguay players Tuesday night and felt a winwas coming from the moment the Netherlandsplayers first stepped on the field.

Dutch ready to play smart game in World Cup final

PAMPLONA, Spain — Thousands of dare-devils dashed through Pamplona’s historic oldquarter Wednesday for a goring-free first bullrun at the San Fermin fiesta, a raucous eventthat ushers in Spain’s summer party season.

An 18-year-old runner from Melbourne,Australia, suffered three fractured vertebraeand was in serious condition at a hospital, anda 20-year old Spanish man received an eyeinjury but was in less serious condition,Navarra state government said on its web site.

The thrillseekers raced to keep ahead of sixfighting bulls and six bell-tinkling steerstasked with trying to keep the beasts togetheralong the 930-yard (850-meter) course from aholding pen to the bull ring in this northerncity.

Several runners were knocked to the groundand some were trampled on by the animalsweighing more than 1,100 pounds (500 kilo-grams), but there were no gorings. TheNavarra government statement did not sayhow the young Australian man was hurt whilehe ran. He and the injured Spaniard were iden-tified only by their initials.

The 8 a.m. daily run is the highlight of thenine-day street drinking festival, and comesafter a full day and night of hard partying.

Dozens of runners, dressed in the festival’straditional white shirts and pants with redsashes, sang a chant to a statue of San Ferminat the start of the route seconds before a fire-cracker rocket blast signaled the release of thebulls from the pen.

Waiting on a corner was retired Americanpilot Peter Rostow, who then dashed about 35yards (meters) alongside the bulls on a cob-blestoned street before taking cover in a door-way, his heart pumping with adrenaline. Hedrank only water the day before to prepare.

“I know bulls, but they came about a hun-dred times faster than I thought they would,”said Rostow, 58, of Austin, Texas. “I wasn’tprepared for that, and the intensity of the sens-

es was overwhelming, the smell of the bulls,the sound of them running, and the fear.”

The run, broadcast live on national televi-sion, lasted 2 minutes and 23 seconds, a rela-tively fast sprint that saw the bulls stayingtogether and paying little attention to the run-ners.

Spaniard Alfonso Gamboa didn’t run butsaid the race was considered a good onebecause the bulls stayed in a tight pack.

Running of the bulls begins More than 50 killed in attacks across Baghdad

BAGHDAD — Militants struck across theIraqi capital Wednesday, killing more than 50people, including 32 in a suicide bombingthat targeted pilgrims commemorating arevered Shiite saint, Iraqi police said.

The attacks — the deadliest of whichoccurred in northern Baghdad’s predomi-nantly Sunni neighborhood of Azamiyah —offered a clear indication of the push byinsurgents to exploit Iraq’s political vacuumand destabilize the country as U.S. troopshead home.

Police said the bloody suicide bombingthat killed 32 and wounded more than 90people, split the hot Wednesday evening airas Shiite pilgrims were about to cross abridge leading to the a shrine in the ShiiteKazimiyah neighborhood where a reveredimam is buried.

Church: Cuba offers to free 52 political prisoners

HAVANA — The Roman Catholic Churchsaid Wednesday that Cuba has agreed to free52 political prisoners and allow them to leavethe country in what would be the island’slargest mass liberation of dissidents sincePope John Paul II visited in 1998.

Five would be released in a matter of hoursand planned to head into exile in Spain, whilethe remaining 47 would be liberated in “aprocess that will take three or four monthsstarting now,” according to the statement bythe office of Havana’s Roman CatholicArchbishop, Cardinal Jaime Ortega.

The deal was announced following a meet-ing between President Raul Castro andOrtega.

CINCINNATI — Each day, DougGallant focuses on keeping a nearlytwo-acre grassy field looking lushand green for potential critics, whorange from star athletes who trod onit to tens of thousands of people whosit near it, to many more around thenation who see it on television.

While you might hope your lawnjust draws approving — perhapsenvious — looks from the people onyour block, the Cincinnati Reds’headgroundskeeper has some advice onhow to improve it without makinglawn care a full-time job.

“It’s kind of a different world outon the field than on your home lawn,but there are some common thingsthat work for both,” said Gallant, whohas been in charge of the baseballteam’s playing surface since 2001.“There’s no easy fix, but do just thebasics and that should help. You getwhat you put into it.”

An Ohio State University graduatein turfgrass management, Gallant hashelped install sports fields fromMiami to Qatar, and last year beganoffering tips to Reds fans via score-board video clips as part of TheScotts Co.’s Major League Baseballsponsorship.

“He’s done a great job,” said DavidWilliams, a University of Kentuckyturfgrass scientist who takes studentsto view Gallant’s handiwork inCincinnati. “I don’t usually watchbaseball on TV, but when I see one oftheir games is on, I always pause fora minute or two to have a look at thefield.”

Here’s a starting nine from Gallantto boost your chances of winning theneighborhood pennant race for bestlawn, with a caution that results canvary depending on grass, soil typeand region:

HOW OFTEN?Gallant says mowing two to three

times a week is good for healthygrass growth, although probably notpractical for many homeowners withjobs and commutes.

“For most people, just getting theyard mowed is a challenge, and mow-ing is pretty important,” Gallant said.

“The mowing frequency will helpkeep the lawn thick. You really don’twant to let your yard go two weekswithout being mowed and let it getshin high.”

Once a week can suffice, althoughGallant compares mowing to exercis-ing: Working out three times a weekis better than once a week.

HOW LONG?About 2.5 inches to 3 inches tall is

good, Gallant said. Much taller, andthe grass starts leaning over. Whencutting, follow the “one-third rule”:“Don’t cut more than a third of theblade at once; you don’t want toshock the grass.” And it’s OK to leavethose short clippings on the lawn.

During the worst heat and drynessof summer, usually late July andAugust, Gallant suggests letting thegrass go a half inch or so higher toprovide the lawn more shade andreduce mowing frequency to every10 days or so.

WHICH WAY?You should vary direction (such as

side-to-side, front-to-back) in theway you mow.

“You actually train grass almostlike you train the hair on your head, ifyou’re parting your hair a certain wayevery time,” Gallant said. “Changedirections to make that grass stand upand grow more vertically.”

Changing direction at least everythird mowing will help, he says.Never changing direction also canleave tire tracks in your lawn.

STAY SHARPKeeping mower blades sharpened

is crucial.“As those blades dull, you can real-

ly see — it’s like you’re cutting witha butter knife instead of a surgicalknife,” Gallant said. “You’re justgoing to tear the grass, if not beat itdown.”

Sharpening once a month is ideal,but sharpening twice a year is OK for

most. If you’re running over sticks,gravel and other rough debris, watchyour grass for signs of tearing fromdull blades. Gallant also suggestsmaking sure mower tires are properlyinflated, to avoid an uneven cut.

WEEDSThe best defense against weeds or

nuisance plants is your grass itself.“People ask me why there aren’t

any weeds out on the field; they’resurprised to hear we don’t spray withherbicides or weed killers,” Gallantsaid. “The main reason is we don’thave to, because the grass is growingso thick. The more aggressively youget the grass growing, it’s not goingto give the weeds a chance.”

FERTILIZERAdding nitrogen two to four times

a year is helpful, especially once inautumn.

“That really is the best time to giveit that shot of nitrogen because the

plant is going to take that and store itall winter long,” Gallant said. “It’sgoing to give that plant good rootdevelopment.”

And for those focused on stayinggreen, there are effective organic fer-tilizers available, he says.

AERATIONDon’t make an error by not aerat-

ing, which opens up holes for air andwater circulation.

“It is really, really beneficial. Thatcould be done once a month if a per-son had the time or money to do it,”Gallant said. There is a range of aer-ators or attachments to buy or rent, orlawn services usually offer aeration.Adding seed after aeration is a goodway to fill in thin patches.

Be cautious during the driest sum-mer months, especially when theground gets very hard. Aeration thencan leave yellowish rings, Gallantsays. Fall and early spring are thebest times.

WATERINGGrass generally needs an inch of

water a week, Gallant says, which ina place like Ohio typically won’t fallfrom the sky in much of July andAugust. If you water with sprinklersor other means, he suggests addingthe inch of water over two to threedays, allowing it to soak in.

Water at around 6-7 a.m., he says,when there’s no hot sun beatingdown. Watering in the evening leavesthe grass sitting wet overnight, whichmakes it more vulnerable to fungusand disease.

NOT WATERINGBecause of time, expense or local

water-use restrictions, it’s not possi-ble for everyone to water their lawns.

“It’s not terrible for a yard to godormant,” Gallant said. “It will comeback.”

But if you do water, do it regularly.“If you’re not going to do it consis-

tently, don’t water. You don’t want tokind of tease it and give it a little bitof water, so it comes back a little,” hesaid.

If your yard goes dormant in sum-mer, be aware that the grass becomesdry and fragile, so Gallant saysrestrict foot traffic across the lawn.

Fresh peaches are one of the true joys ofsummer, and in my opinion this fruit nevertastes better than when it is picked ripe andjuicy from the tree. If you dream of growinga peach tree or two in your own backyard,take heart: They’re not difficult to cultivate,and they grow surprisingly quickly. Mostvarieties bear fruit at a young age, so with theproper care you can be harvesting fruit with-in three to four years, which is much soonerthan other tree fruit such as apples or pears.

We associate peaches with the South, andindeed the southern two-thirds of the countryhas the best climate for growing them. Butthere are more than 2,000 varieties of peach-es, and many are tolerant of colder climates.Selecting the right variety for your regionwill ensure success.

The flesh of a peach can be either yellow orwhite, depending on the variety, and thefruit’s skin ranges in color from red to pink toyellow or a combination of the three. Mostpeach varieties were developed for fruit pro-duction, but there are a good number of orna-mental trees grown for their flowers andfoliage. Some of the latter have beautiful redleaves, while others are dwarf varieties per-fect for containers on a sunny patio or deck.

If you’d like to try growing peach trees,start by selecting a site in your yard that has

full sun, good air movement and well-drained soil. When selecting a tree, look forplants with healthy foliage and undamagedbark.

Pruning is very important in raising peach-es. The fruit is usually produced on second-year wood, so you must always encouragenew growth. Each winter, you want to pruneabout 30 percent of the new growth and anywood that is damaged or diseased. Most com-mercial peach production uses an open, vase-like form, but other pruning styles work aswell. The goal of pruning is to encourage airand sun penetration, cull out damaged wood,and keeping the tree from getting so big thatyou can’t reach the peaches. The most impor-tant thing you can do to help ensure a healthycrop is to keep the area underneath the treefree of weeds and debris.

Recently on “Cultivating Life,” my friendSkip Paul from Wishing Stone Farm in LittleCompton, R.I., stopped by to share some tips

on growing peaches. Skip’sfarm is in southern NewEngland, where winters getcold, but his peach orcharddoesn’t seem to mind -- it pro-duces some of the tastiestpeaches this side of Georgia.

Skip has grown a lot of different peaches, andsome of his favorites are listed below.

Elberta Queen. A large, yellow-fleshedfruit great for canning or freezing.

Saturn. A unique doughnut shaped peachwith white flesh and a freestone.

Early White Giant. An early, white-fleshedpeach. White peaches usually are on the earlyside and are a little less acidic.

Pink Cascade Weeping. An ornamentalweeping peach 12 to15 feet tall with pinkflowers in the spring.

Bonfire. An interesting 4- to 5-foot tallornamental peach with deep red foliage andfruit and beautiful pink and red flowers in thespring.

Sensation Miniature. Another miniaturetree that is great for container growing butthat also produces full-sized edible fruit.

To learn more about growing and pruningpeaches, and to find some interesting recipes,watch the next episode of Cultivating Life onSunday on WGN or visit the “CultivatingLife” website, www.cultivatinglife.com.

By Melissa RayworthTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

What’s old — centuries old, even — issuddenly new again in home design. Wood,that ancient staple of interior decorating, hasbeen getting fresh attention in every room ofthe house.

Designers are mixing salvaged barn doorswith new synthetic flooring that looks strik-ingly like the real thing. At the same time,faux wood-grain wallpaper and upholsteryoffer a nod to nature without hiding theirartificiality.

Designer and HGTV host GenevieveGorder calls wood “the one medium that iseternal.”

“It’s been in interiors since the beginningof time and it’s sitting in our front yards,”she says. “There’s nothing else like it.”

Gorder, along with fellow designersCandice Olson and Vern Yip, judges thework of fledgling designers each week onHGTV’s “Design Star.” When we askedthese experts which style ideas have theirattention right now, all three mentionedwood.

Wood is both natural and trend-proof,Olson says, and can bring a much-neededwarmth and timelessness to modern rooms.Even people who love modern style, shesays, don’t want a home “where everythinglooks like George Jetson lives there.”

Likewise, in more traditional rooms, woodis being used in ways that add a dose ofedgier style without clashing.

LUMBER AND LOGSYears ago, Olson saw an entire wall of

stacked wood in a building in Europe. Theimage stuck with her. She eventually createdher own variations, arranging chopped logsfrom fallen trees within frames that are 6inches deep.

Lumber, especially the low grades thatmight otherwise be discarded by builders,can be used the same way.

Gorder loves the look: “Really inexpen-sive,” she says, and “really powerful.”

Whether dominating a whole wall or serv-ing as an accent, these pieces of wood can bearranged to form a smooth surface or pokeout from the wall at different lengths, creat-ing a pattern.

The contrast between order and chaos iscentral to the appeal: Essentially, “it’s a pileof sticks,” Olson says, but laid out “in anorderly, modern, refined way.”

WOODEN WALLS AND CEILINGSSeveral years back, Yip drew praise for

designing a room with one wall covered in

planks. “Anytime you have an entire wall ofone material, wood or something else, it’s sostriking,” he says.

It caught on. Wood flooring is now beingused to cover walls and ceilings. Old wood-en platforms, says Yip, can also be hung upas art.

That showcases a beautiful wood’s textureand color, Olson says. “It’s almost like itgets wasted on the floor,” she says.

A wall or ceiling done in a given type ofwood doesn’t mean you must use that typeof wood elsewhere in the room. Mix old andnew woods in different shades and textures,says Gorder: “If you just keep matching, itlooks like a bad pantsuit.”

RECLAIMED WOODPeople are embracing reclaimed wood and

giving it new life, Yip says.“We realize it’s not an infinite resource we

can just keep exploiting,” he says. “It’s anatural extension of the green movement,colliding with the fact that we’re repurpos-ing a lot of things these days.”

And wood adds character to a room, thedesigners say. Old doors, shutters, crates andbarns are being repurposed into furnitureand floor or wall coverings. “It’s that soulyou can’t buy off the showroom floor,”Gorder explains.

Salvaged wood is refreshingly low-main-tenance because scratches only add to itscharm.

“I have two young children under the ageof 6,” Olson says. “So weathered finishes,they really speak to me.”

Reclaimed flooring and furniture can beexpensive, especially if you’re set on a par-ticular item or type of wood. But, this beingAmerica, fake wood with a weathered“reclaimed” finish is available at a lowerprice than the real thing.

WOOD-GRAIN UPHOLSTERY AND WALLPAPER

If you are going with an impostor, thesedesigners say go all the way. They love thecheerful fakery of wall coverings and uphol-stery with wood-grain patterns.

“You know a chair isn’t upholstered inwood, so that’s tongue-in-cheek,” Gordersays. “It’s playful.”

Materials like these let designers take“nature and tradition, and stylize it” in unex-pected ways, Olson says. In designing a lineof wallpaper, she combined the look ofwood grain with a metallic finish. “It’s thatreference to a natural motif, but with themetallic, that makes it new and fresh andcurrent.”

Wood can look good in every room

Laminates and synthetics can help make a huge visual change on a relatively small budget.The technology has come far, and fakes are looking less fake these days. And because laminate flooring resists water fairly well,it is increasingly popular in kitchens,bathrooms andbasements.

“Cities are under huge pressure right nowto provide services the state funded.”

Survey results from a poll indicate 66percent of likely voters would support thefee, according to a C/CAG staff report.

About half the money raised, if themeasure passes, will be doled out to citiesbased on population and road miles.Under the formula, the city of San Mateowould get about $375,000 annually forroad fixes while Foster City would getabout $106,000 annually.

The other half, about $3.2 million,would go toward funding transit opera-tions including services for seniors andpeople with disabilities. About 5 percent

of the money would go toward adminis-trative cost.

Cities can use the money for pavementresurfacing, pothole repair, signage and

striping, traffic signals and for fundinglocal shuttles. The money can also beused for street sweeping and storm-inletcleaning.

Caltrain and SamTrans will get some ofthe money to provide services for peoplewith disabilities.

If the C/CAG board approves the reso-lution for a ballot measure it will alsovote to spend $950,000 to pay for theNov. 2 election.

“Much of the money will go towarddirectly fixing streets and roads, whichare in poor shape,” Napier said. “The feewill have a direct benefit to those payingthe fee.”

card’s security company Sunday, July 4because of some uncharacteristic pur-chases charged to her card.

After contacting Apple’s customersupport, she said she was advised to callthe police and cancel the card.

Nelson unknowingly had two iTunesaccounts. She attempted to update heraccount in December with new creditcard and contact information and some-how ended up with two accounts. It washer older account that the charges cameto, an account Nelson rarely uses.

The culprit in all this resides inVietnam.

Apple ditched a developer and hisapps from iTunes after dozens of histitles mysteriously became best sellersover the holiday weekend.

Developer Thuat Nguyen was bannedfor fraudulent purchases, according tothe company. Some iTunes users hadtheir accounts used to buy Nguyen’sbook apps, which occupied 42 of the top50 book apps sold in the store at onepoint over this past weekend.

Nelson, of course, had never heard ofNguyen or his apps and also finds it hardto believe only 400 accounts were com-promised.

She has spent the week searching theInternet for news of the hack

The store offers paid and free apps forthe iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

ITunes’ servers, which hold users’credit card information, were not com-

promised, the company said. Apple willnow require users to more frequentlyenter their credit card security codewhen making purchases or accessingiTunes from a new computer.

ITunes fraud is the latest challenge forApple. The company recently cameunder fire for antenna-reception issueswith its new iPhone 4, as well as anAT&T security leak of some e-mailaddresses of iPad 3G owners.

For now, Nelson still has two iTunesaccounts and has not been able to getApple to cancel the old account yet. Thateffort was part of her day yesterday.

“I was their biggest fan,” Nelson said.“But it’s day four and they still haven’tfixed my problem. I wish they would bestraightforward. They need to protecttheir customers like they protect theirstock holders.”

known as Coach Mazz. Mazzoncini played football for

Aragon High School and went on to playfootball at California State University,Hayward — now known as CaliforniaState University, East Bay. He started histeaching career at Ralston MiddleSchool in Belmont. Soon after,Mazzoncini was hired as the assistantvarsity football coach and frosh-sophbaseball coach at Carlmont.

Mazzoncini transferred to Hillsdale in1980 or 1981 and began to shine as botha coach and the dean of students. Hequickly immersed himself in the schooland left an indelible mark on generationsof students who received guidance fromhim.

Mazzoncini died Nov. 18, 2007 fromcomplications associated with a rare dis-ease called neurosarcoidosis. InNovember 2008, the stadium was namedin Mazzoncini’s honor.

Although naming was complete,fundraising was still underway to coverthe stadium costs.

Among the fundraising efforts was thesale of commemorative bricks that peo-

ple could inscribe. It was decided those bricks should be

part of the stadium, which offered a wayto showcase the names and supporters,explained Principal Jeff Gilbert.Unfortunately, the group was quite newat landscape design. An alumni, GeorgeCintel, stepped forward to offer hisexpertise in the area.

Cost estimates were gathered andcame in around $32,000, which wouldnearly wipe out all the money raised.The Hillsdale community was facedwith a difficult choice: Scale back theproject or use volunteer labor. Volunteerlabor presented problems of manage-ment and liability insurance.

Bill Nack with the San Mateo CountyLabor Council was contacted in an effortto get skilled laborers. Nack knew localprofessionals would be willing to help.

“We do this more than people know.Every year Rebuilding Together doeshouse renovations and we help with that.All of our unions help with that. We livehere in the community,” he said.

Nack previously served on the boardof Rebuilding Together Peninsula, aRedwood City nonprofit that partnerswith businesses to rehabilitate communi-ty organization facilities or the homes ofthose in need. Often the partner, in thiscase Hillsdale, provided the supplies,finances and volunteers.

Nack suggested the Hillsdale projectto Rebuilding Together ExecutiveDirector Seana O’Shaughnessy, wholoved the idea.

“It really was an example of what wefeel we do best — truly pulling togethercommunity partners,” saidO’Shaughnessy.

While the school had a number of vol-unteers, it had limitations with managingthe work.

“We were the last piece of the puzzle,bringing people together,” she said,adding Rebuilding Together alsobrought tools.

Parent Ivana Hansen, who is also aHillsdale alumna, stopped by to help fora few hours this spring.

“I think it’s beautiful,” Hansen said.“Rebuilding Together was very organ-ized and handled all the materials andgave good direction to those helping out.It’s very serene; it’s a nice place to goand sit down and relax a little bit even. Ithink it’s beautifully done.”

The walkway was dedicated thisspring, but won’t really be used until thefall. It should be a true entryway at somepoint during the football season as thedistrict recently decided to restore park-ing at the south corner of the school,which will then allow people to enter thestadium where the dedication walkwayis located.

joined together as the North CountySpecial Education Consortium in 2006to share services. In 2008, the San BrunoPark Elementary School District joined.

David Hutt, superintendent of the SanBruno Park Elementary School District,said joining did have a dollars and centsaspect, but there are other benefits.

For example, kids are placed in class-rooms closer to home. This may notseem like a significant change, but tak-ing classes amongst local kids giveschildren a chance to meet friends theycan play with after school.

“It’s something you don’t think abouta lot. Who are the kids going to playwith when they’re home?,” Hutt said,

adding the decision to join was largelykid-driven.

Hutt called the grouping a great exam-ple of shared services within school dis-tricts, a move which the governor hasencouraged.

When looking at elementary schooldistricts in the consortium, the grandjury found the special education costsfrom the general fund to cost 7.7 percenton average. Other elementary school dis-tricts in the county, on the other hand,pay 11.8 percent on average.

Some districts pay more than that. Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary

School District, for example, puts 20.46percent of its general fund toward spe-cial education costs — the highest per-centage in the county. The district alsohas the largest percentage of students,16.24 percent, enrolled in special educa-tion.

Ravenswood Elementary School

District also pays more than the averagefrom its general fund, 15.51 percent, fol-lowed by San Carlos Elementary SchoolDistrict at 14.44 percent and BurlingameElementary School District with 13.25percent.

Looking at these high costs, the grandjury recommended districts not in theconsortium should replicate such a part-nership. Working together is only part ofthe solution. Advocating for the fullfunding promised under federal lawwhile lobbying to maintain state educa-tion funding is also necessary, accordingto the report.

Find talented people who share your interests and work in close tandem with them in the year ahead, if you want to advance yourself. These types may not only generate suc-cessful endeavors, but also set an example for you to follow.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) - If you need to purchase an expensive item about which you have little expertise or know little about, take along someone who is knowledgeable on such things.

lEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Don’t be so sure of things that you leave yourself open for making a big mistake. When you think you have the upper hand, walk slowly and watch for the unexpected to occur.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Before hiring anyone to do a big job, be sure to check out the person’s credentials and terms of service very carefully. Unless the documents are in order, find someone else.

lIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Don’t feel that you have to keep up with the Joneses in order to be accepted. You’ll do your-self a grave disfavor if you start purchasing items you can’t afford in order to try to keep up. Others really don’t care.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - The best way to avoid trouble for the entire family is to follow the old adage: “Be sure what you see here and say here, stays hear when you leave here.”

SAGITTARIuS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Don’t knuckle under to an arrogant companion who makes a lot of noise but never accomplishes anything of value. Remember, a mouse may learn to roar like a lion, but it is still just a mouse.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Be careful not to let your strong desire for something you really don’t need spur extravagance you really can’t afford. Continue to be financially prudent.

AQuARIuS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - If you are experiencing an uncooperative spirit from too many people, perhaps you need to ask yourself if it is deserved. Examine your past behavior to see if you set that example.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Being fearful of disappointing a friend isn’t reason enough to make a serious commitment that would put you in a bind. Do what is best for you and your family first. Only then do for others.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Usually you’re a pretty carefree person, with friends and family finding you quite accommo-dating, but not so this time. For personal reasons, you might be holding a pity party for yourself.

TAuRuS (April 20-May 20) - There are days when you simply want to be left alone, and this could be one of those times, which is well and good. However, this must not be car-ried to the point of being rude to others.
