TREND IN BUILDING 

City 

looking 

to get 

green 

By K.C. MEADOWS 

The Daily Journal 

The Ukiah area has plenty 

of blue skies and sunshine, 

and the city wants to add 

green to the palette. 

The city of Ukiah wants to 

get its citizens involved in an 

effort to convince people to 

support a “Green Building 

Program” to construct environmentally 

sensitive homes 

and businesses. 

“We have an idea of what 

we’re going to do but we’re 

looking for public involvement,” 

said city Planning 

Director Charley Stump. 

The city will hold roundtable 

meetings with “key 

players” in the construction 

industry to set up a citywide 

education program, and host 

public forums on how green 

construction can work. 

Green Building is a whole 

systems approach to the 

design, construction and operation 

of buildings -- from the 

early stages of development 

through the final finishes in 

the home. Green buildings are 

considered good for conserving 

resources and energy and 

for improving indoor air quality. 

According to Stump, green 

building is, “Using recycled 

materials, using alternative 

building materials that aren’t 

toxic. For example, in the 

Midwest they’re using soybean 

based insulation, a spray 

insulation made out of soybean 

oil.” 

Stump also cited carpeting 

that’s made without formaldehyde, 

and energy efficient 

appliances and windows as 

part of a green building campaign, 

all of which are now 

generally available and 

affordable. 

“Absolutely,” Stump said. 

“Istok Menton, a local 

builder, has been using these 

techniques and resources for 

20 years.” 

Also, Stump notes, people 

are looking to buy “green” 

homes, which are considered 

safer, healthier and more efficient. 

Stump said that once the

The woman killed in a head-on collision 

Monday afternoon has been identified by 

the California Highway Patrol as 84-yearold 

Clearlake resident Betty Jeanne Seach. 

Seach was driving a Toyota camper 

truck eastbound on Highway 20 east of 

Ukiah near the Buffalo Ranch at approximately 

50 to 55 mph, when for unknown 

reasons, she swerved over the center line, 

and her vehicle collided with a semi. 

The driver of the semi truck, 46-year-old 

Bret Clary of Star City, Ark., was traveling 

at about 55 mph when his vehicle struck

charges of reckless driving, evading a police officer

Attempt to communicate falls short 

By TONY ANTHONY 

for The Daily Journal 

Officially, the Japanese 

healing art Jin Shin 

Jyutsu is called, “The 

art of the Creator 

through the compassionate 

person.” But Ukiah’s Kate 

Nachtwey, a vibrant young woman 

who has been practicing Jin Shin 

Jyutsu for five years, explains it in 

simpler terms: “The Ancients 

understood the mind, body and 

spirit are all connected. When the 

body-mind is out of balance there 

are certain ways for re-balancing 

it.” Jin Shin Jyutsu is a non-invasive 

art safe for even babies or 

frail elderly people. Clients lie 

fully clothed on a soft table. 

Kate begins each client’s session 

by listening to the pulse. The 

simple process of gently holding 

the person’s wrists in her hands 

reveals where the body’s energy 

flow is blocked, she said. “I try to 

meet each person right where they 

are at the time,” she says. “Jin 

Shin is not about fixing people; 

it’s about letting them ‘be.’ By 

that, I mean allowing them to 

come back to themselves, to their 

naturally endowed state of balance 

and harmony.” 

After assessing the energy flow, 

Kate positions her hands on a 

series of prescribed “energy 

points” which have been mapped 

out in various places on the body. 

She explains, “The practitioner’s 

hands act as a kind of electrical 

conduit -- like a set of jumper 

cables to jump start the places 

where the energy is blocked.” She 

lightly places one hand just above 

the knee with her right hand and 

places the other hand on the forearm 

on the other side. This particular 

position, called a Safety 

Energy Lock, is meant to address 

the respiratory system -- the lungs 

and breathing. 

Kate explains, “There are 26 

such Safety Energy Locks on both 

sides of the body. The SELS correspond 

to parts of the body to tell 

me what goes on in a particular 

area.” Kate checks the SELS that 

need attention, stopping to check 

the pulses from time to time, until 

she feels the body is in balance. 

She uses the word “pulses” plural 

because there are three separate 

pulses, each with its own rhythm. 

Sometimes the client feels an 

immediate result; sometimes the 

healing happens over time. “Each 

body is different,” Kate explains. 

“The results are cumulative as 

well.” Kate usually recommends 

at least three sessions for most 

clients. 

An ancient past 

A Japanese man named Jiro 

Murai is credited with the rebirth 

of the ancient art form in the early 

1900s. When Murai fell “incurably 

ill” he asked his family to 

bring him to their country retreat. 

By meditating on the body, he 

began to recognize the flows of 

energy throughout the body -flows 

similar to the ones the 

Chinese discovered in the use of 

acupuncture. Murai had studied 

the ancient Buddhist Mudras, the 

positions of holding the fingers. 

He discovered that the fingers 

held the key to healing the body’s 

complex system of energy flow -- 

speaking family; English 

first, English only, and I 

received a letter written in 

Spanish. I have no idea what 

this letter is about ... but I 

guess they are telling my 

daughter she has something 

she has to do this summer. ...

crutches. After starting treatment with Jin Shin Jyutsu, Klein said she no longer suffers from 

her condition. “I even gave away my crutches,” she said. 

that there were specific points on 

the body that when held in relation 

to another set of points would 

allow energy to flow where it was 

needed most. Murai was not discovering 

anything new; in fact he 

was rediscovering the pathways of 

the life force that the Chinese 

called “Chi” and the ancient 

Hindus called “Prana.” 

Murai used his own body as a 

textbook for what he would later 

call Jin Shin Jyutsu. After experiencing 

seven days of alternating 

chills and high fever, his body was 

healed. He spent the next 40 years, 

the remainder of his life, criss-

Personal history 

Kate Nachtwey arrived in 

Ukiah in 1999 from Illinois 

and first taught at the Waldorf 

School in Calpella. She then 

moved on to work as a massage 

therapist and began to 

build a practice. In addition to 

Jin Shin Jyutsu, Kate has studied 

Polarity Therapy, Shiatsu, 

Swedish Massage and additional 

“Energetic Medicines,” 

including flower essences and 

essential oils. 

Kate has had a lifelong 

appetite for learning, discovery 

and wanderlust. Born into 

a family of 10 children, five 

sisters and four brothers, she 

attended the University of 

Illinois before heading off to 

study in Barcelona. In the 

1980s, she traveled through 

Southeast Asia, India, Europe 

and North Africa. 

Kate’s thirst for knowledge 

continues to this day. She regularly 

attends advanced teaching 

sessions on JSJ in Marin 

and Sonoma County. But it is 

her time spent with her own 

practice in Ukiah that she 

finds the most gratifying. “My 

practice is about understanding 

and awareness -- for both 

my clients and for me. It’s a 

very synergistic relationship. 

We help each other. I am 

always learning as I help bal- 

ance someone’s energy. 

“Each client offers me an 

opportunity to further deepen 

my knowledge. Although each 

person is different the facilitator 

can’t really make a mistake 

with Jin Shin Jyutsu -the 

human body knows where 

the energy needs to flow.” 

“My goal is to be as present 

as possible when I work with 

the person on the table. It’s 

about understanding and 

awareness to help people 

remember we have everything 

we need for perfect health 

inside us. In today’s busy 

world we all have enough 

stress to put us out of balance. 

Also worry and fear, anger 

and grief, even pretension, 

have tendencies to make us 

sick. 

“After all, thoughts are 

energy too,” she smiles, “so 

when we bring our thoughts 

and emotions into balance we 

can experience more harmony.” 

New-found popularity 

Jin Shin Jyutsu is now 

gaining popularity worldwide 

thanks to Mary Burmeister, 

who apprenticed with Jiro 

Murai. Her book “The Touch 

of Healing” is a textbook for 

practitioners and lay people 

alike. The ancient art form is 

gaining recognition among 

healthcare providers as an 

alternative to medications and 

as an adjunct therapy for post 

surgery patients; also to 

enhance the benefits of medication.

being Honorably 

Discharged from the Air

Baccalaureate Degree in

In 1956, Mr. Elder and

1961 he accepted a teaching 

position in the 

Math Department at Ukiah 

High School. In 

addition to teaching during 

the week he was a 

respected sports official of 

the North Bay League 

Officials Association. 

Marvin taught for 

thirty years and retired in 

1986. 

Marvin enjoyed playing 

golf, traveling, rose 

gardening and spending 

time with his family. 

He is survived by his loving 

wife of 55 years, 

Mary Elder, devoted 

daughters Kathy Cinque 

of Santa Rosa, Janet Davis 

of Santa Rosa 

and Kristine Cassidy of 

Yuba City. He is survived 

by his older brother, 

Zeff, who had been a massage 

client of Kate’s for two years, 

to try Jin Shin when she was 

going through chemotherapy 

treatment for cancer. Gloria is 

happy that she did. “It proved 

much more relaxing than massage. 

I was able to let go, and 

go deeper into what I call my 

‘healing place.’” 

Of all the physical therapies, 

Kate finds Jin Shin 

Jyutsu to be the most effective 

healing modality. “JSJ deals 

with a human being on the 

deepest level -- the level of the 

flow of energy, the pathways 

that traverse the body and feed 

life into the body’s cells.” 

Finding harmony -ourselves 

Kate says, “an aspect of Jin 

Shin Jyutsu I really love is 

that it’s something that everyone 

can do themselves. Self 

care is an integral part of JSJ.” 

Kate says, “I provide a simple 

routine that anybody can follow 

at home -- something they 

can use for a tune up. This can 

be done almost anywhere; at 

home, at the office -- even in 

the car.” 

“We are all endowed with 

the ability to harmonize our 

own imbalances. With some 

basic knowledge each of us 

can begin to heal ourselves.” 

Kate explains that Jin Shin 

Jyutsu can address digestion, 

breathing, immune issues, 

depression, insomnia, back 

and joint pain as well as emotional 

and hormonal imbalances 

-- all by allowing the 

body to regain its own balance

appears successful the city 

may create incentives for people 

to use the green principles 

in local building projects. 

Unlike some cities, Stump 

doesn’t see Ukiah enacting

ready for that,” he said. “We 

want to try education and 

incentives.” 

and harmonious energy flow. 

Gloria Zeff testifies to this. 

“After a treatment I have a 

sense of looseness in my body, 

an absence of tension. I have a 

feeling of balance.” 

Kate’s point of view is, “I 

have a great opportunity to be 

of service and assist people in 

helping themselves.” She 

smiles the satisfied smile of 

someone who’s stumbled 

upon a long-hidden secret. “I 

remember the first time I 

experienced Jin Shin as a 

client. At first I didn’t feel 

there was much going on. 

Then a couple of hours later I 

had a surge of energy that lasted 

a day and a half -- and I 

knew there was more going on 

than met the eye. I knew I’d 

found something deeper and 

more lasting.” 

One of Kate’s longtime 

clients, a vibrant woman 

named Kathryn says, “Wellbeing 

is something we all take 

for granted until we feel out of 

balance and realize we need 

something to help regain that 

balance. I feel fortunate to 

have found both Jin Shin 

Jyutsu and Kate. Together 

they have helped me regain 

my sense of well-being. What 

really makes the difference is 

Kate’s compassion and dedication 

to the practice. I always 

leave her office feeling good.”

CHP REPORTS 

The following were 

compiled from reports 

prepared by the California 

Highway Patrol: 

SPECIAL ENFORCE- 

MENT -- The California 

Highway Patrol will be issuing 

tickets to those not wearing 

their seat belts while driving 

on California's highways 

this week and continuing until 

June 4, as part of the “Click it 

or Ticket” campaign. 

According to the California 

Highway Patrol, 961 people 

who were killed in traffic 

accidents in California last 

year were not wearing their 

seat belts. The maximum fine 

for a first offense is $91; for 

the second offense the maximum 

fine is $193. When children 

under 16 are not buckled-up, 

drivers can face a firstoffense 

fine of up to $340 and 

a second offense fine of up to 

$871. 

The 2005 California Seat 

Belt Use survey determined 

that 92.5 percent of vehicle 

occupants in California wear 

seat belts, making it 7th in the 

nation in seat belt use. That 

still leaves 2.7 million people 

who have a strong chance of 

being ticketed during this 

enforcement period.

AP Business Writer 

SAN FRANCISCO -- Internet 

search engine Snap.com is hoping 

to expand its sparse audience by 

making Web surfing more like 

channel surfing on a TV, but the 

startup might attract more attention 

with another change that further 

blurs the lines separating ads 

from listings retrieved by objective 

formulas. 

Under a new format to be 

unveiled Monday, Snap will lump 

together search results financed 

by advertisers in the same column 

as Web links drawn from algorithms 

programmed to disregard 

financial incentives and find the 

most relevant response to a user’s 

request. 

As an example of how Snap’s 

approach might blend results, a 

response to “used cars” might 

rank a result bought by 

Carsmart.com directly above a 

noncommercial link to 

Usedcars.com. 

That combination is a departure 

from leading Internet search 

engines like Google Inc., Yahoo 

Inc. and Microsoft Corp.’s MSN, 

which isolate advertising results 

in shaded boxes at the top of the 

page or group them together in a 

separate stack to the right under 

the heading “sponsored results.” 

The distinctions are meant to 

comply with Federal Trade 

Commission guidelines urging 

that Internet search engines provide 

“clear and conspicuous” distinctions 

separating their noncommercial 

results from ad-driven 

links. 

Snap, launched in late 2004, 

originally intended to place a light 

gray “sponsored result” disclaimer 

next to the Web addresses 

of all the ads that crop up. Just 

Tech News 

Upstart search engine blurs 

the lines of advertising 

hours before the new site’s debut, 

Snap decided to make the disclaimers 

even more prominent by 

changing the coloring to bright 

orange and increasing the size of 

the type. 

The light gray label wasn’t 

prominent enough to satisfy Gary 

Ruskin, executive director of 

Commercial Alert, a Ralph 

Nader-based watchdog group 

behind a 2001 complaint that 

prompted the FTC to issue its 

search engine advertising guidelines. 

Snap’s new system for identifying 

ads “is neither clear nor 

conspicuous,” Ruskin said after 

previewing the site with the gray 

labeling. “It is completely inadequate.” 

Ruskin couldn’t be 

reached Sunday afternoon to discuss 

Snap’s switch to the more 

prominent orange lettering. 

Pasadena-based Snap believes 

its new approach makes sense 

because the Web sites run by 

advertisers sometimes provide the 

information or merchandise most 

likely to satisfy a user’s search 

request. 

“For very commercial searches, 

you will see all commercial 

results,” said Tom McGovern, 

BUSINESS BY THE BLOCK 

Snap’s chief executive officer. 

“We are not trying to mislead 

anybody.” 

By combining commercial and 

noncommercial results in the 

same column, Snap cleared 

enough space on its home page to 

provide a large enough box that 

will provide snapshots of each 

Web site that appears in the rankings. 

These glimpses change as a 

user scrolls through the results 

with a computer’s up-and-down 

keys, similar to a couch potato 

flipping through television channels 

with a remote control. The 

technique is designed to minimize 

the use of a Web’s browser “back” 

button to navigate back and forth 

between Web sites. 

“It might take a few years for it 

to catch on, but we think we are 

establishing a new paradigm for 

search,” said Snap co-founder 

Bill Gross, who already has 

reshaped the industry once. 

During the 1990s, Gross 

invented the first search engine 

that ranked search results based 

on how much advertisers were 

willing to pay for the privilege. 

Skeptics initially scoffed at 

Gross’s idea, but the concept 

eventually morphed into a successful 

search engine, Overture, 

that Yahoo Inc. bought in 2003 for 

$1.8 billion. Overture also provided 

the inspiration for Google 

Inc.’s highly lucrative advertising 

network. 

Snap, part of Perfect 

Technologies Inc., hasn’t had 

much of an impact yet. The search 

engine hasn’t attracted more than 

700,000 unique visitors during 

any month in the past year, 

according to research firm 

Nielsen/NetRatings Inc. 

Yahoo overhauls home page as 

battle for Web traffic intensifies 

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE 


SAN FRANCISCO -- Yahoo Inc.’s Web site 

unveiled a new look Tuesday as the Internet 

powerhouse strives to remain the world’s most 

popular online destination and strengthen its 

advertising appeal. 

The overhaul marks the first facelift to 

Yahoo’s home page since September 2004. 

The redesigned page includes more interactive 

features that reduce the need to click 

through to other pages to review the weather, 

check e-mail, listen to music or monitor local 

traffic conditions. 

Another addition, called “Yahoo Pulse,” 

offers recommendations and insights about cultural 

trends culled from the Web site’s 402 million 

users worldwide. 

Yahoo is making the upgrade as it battles for 

traffic with longtime rivals MSN, AOL and 

Google Inc. while also trying to fend off an 

intensifying threat posed by the rise of social 

networking sites such as MySpace.com. 

“Our goal is to have the best page on the 

Internet,” said Dan Rosensweig, Yahoo’s chief 

operating officer. “We feel like this (redesign) 

does something great for everybody.” 

Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yahoo regards the 

latest changes as the most dramatic renovations 

made to its front page since the site’s 1994 debut 

as a bare-bones directory developed by Stanford 

University students Jerry Yang and David Filo. 

The new look is long overdue, said Jupiter 

Research analyst David Card. “The site was getting 

pretty long in the tooth and looking pretty 

old fashioned,” he said. “Now, it looks clean, 

crisp and modern.” 

Even so, Card believes Yahoo’s upgrades 

won’t impress younger, cutting-edge Web 

surfers who are spending an increasing amount 

of time hanging out at MySpace.com. “They 

didn’t really push the envelope very hard.” 

The most notable changes will allow Yahoo 

users to pull down interactive menus giving 

them snapshots of weather, traffic and movie 

information as well as providing instant access 

to the site’s popular e-mail, instant messaging 

and music services. 

Like other widely visited Web sites, Yahoo 

must balance its desire to keep pace with the 

Internet’s constantly shifting trends with the 

recognition that changing things too dramatically 

might alienate a large number of users comfortable 

with the status quo. 

Yahoo settled on the final redesign, codenamed 

“Spirit,” after months of testing with 

selected users. As another precaution, the new 

look won’t show up as the default page of 

Yahoo.com for several more months. 

“Any time you touch the most visited page 

on the Internet, it’s going to feel like a big 

change and we think this is a really big change,” 

Rosensweig said. 

Microsoft Corp.’s MSN and Time Warner 

Inc.’s AOL, the two most visited Web sites after 

Yahoo, also have tweaked their looks during the 

past year. 

Although Google still provides a page featuring 

little else than its Internet-leading search 

engine, it also offers an option that enables users 

to customize the home page to suit their personal 

tastes. 

In April, Yahoo led the pack with 105.4 million 

unique U.S. visitors, an 11 percent increase 

from last year, according to Nielsen/NetRatings 

Inc. MSN ranked second with 92.8 million visitors, 

a 6 percent increase from last year, followed 

closed by Google, whose traffic surged 

27 percent during the past year to 92.1 million. 

AOL’s traffic remained flat at 70.4 million, 

Nielsen/NetRatings said. 

Meanwhile, MySpace’s traffic -- consisting

Congratulations to Tony Lopez, owner of 

Lopez Automotive, who was clever enough to 

figure out a mysterious ailment in a customer’s 

1996 Cadillac Concours and has now 

been awarded the Fix of the Week award from 

Identifix, the automotive industry’s clearinghouse 

for mechanic’s solutions to your car’s 

problems. 

The fix Tony figured out had something to 

do with the car’s steering system apparently 

having a mind of its own and suddenly veering 

left or right unexpectedly. 

Tony figured out a “wiring harness” for the 

steering system that solved the problem and 

the owner said he hasn’t had a problem since. 

Tony got the kudos from Identifix and a 

check to take himself out to lunch. 

Lots of things going on in Hopland these 

days. 

As many of you already know, the Hopland 

Inn has reopened, the rooms are ready and 

they’re now serving a bistro lunch and dinner 

in the bar area. The full dining room will 

reopen soon. 

Hopland architect Tom Hise has opened 

Cafe Lima in downtown Hopland where the 

old Munchies store was located. Cafe Lima 

right now is serving coffees and breakfast 

rolls and will be soon serving lunch as well. 

And finally, believe it or not, Hopland is 

getting a Subway sandwich franchise downtown. 

Somehow it doesn’t seem like they 

could possibly do the business in a town the 

size of Hopland but someone must think it’s 

worth it. 

On May 23 the Ukiah Chamber will host 

another of its breakfast with a speaker meetings. 

This Good Morning Ukiah is called 

“Breakfast Phishing with the Chamber” featuring 

information about Internet phishing and 

scams. Breakfast is served from 7 to 8:30 a.m. 

at Zack’s restaurant. 

The featured speaker will be Jim Persky, 

founder and manager of Pacific Internet, a 

local Internet service provider. He will talk 

about “Cybercrime at a Glance,” phishing and 

various worms. 

Persky is a Ukiah High School graduate 

with a Bachelor’s Degree in computer science 

and a Master’s Degree in business administration. 

He worked for 10 years in engineering 

and management positions in Silicon Valley. 

Also on the agenda are Aline Brown, marketing 

officer for Savings Bank, who will discuss 

how banks are warning their customers 

they will never be asked for information over 

the Internet. 

She will be followed by Marlene Ruiz, 

business banking specialist for Wells Fargo 

Bank. 

The breakfasts are open to Chamber members 

at $15 and non-members at $20, to 

include breakfast. Non-members wishing to 

join the Chamber can pay at the lower rate. 

Zack‚s will provide a choice of two different 

breakfast menus. For more information call 

the Chamber office at 462-4705. 

Finally, if you want to serve your community 

and you live in the city of Ukiah there 

are openings on some of the city’s volunteer 

commissions. 

The Airport Commission needs one person 

to serve a three-year term (this person, by the 

way, can live in certain areas outside the city 

limits.) 

The Demolition Permit Review 

Commission has two vacancies for two-year 

terms. 

The Investment Oversight Committee has 

one vacancy for a two-year term. 

The Paths, Open Space and Creeks 

Commission has three vacancies for threeyear 

terms. 

The Traffic Engineering Committee has 

once vacancy, this committee doesn’t have 

term limits. 

If you want to know more about what these 

bodies do, call City Clerk Marie Ulvila at 463- 

6217. 

The deadline for applications is June 13 at 

noon. 

Editor’s note: When you’re driving, biking or walking around in downtown Ukiah do you often look over at a storefront and say to yourself “Gee, I didn’t know that was there.” Well, so do we. So we thought we’d 

start a kind of business census by photographing and identifying downtown businesses block by block, week to week, here on the Commerce Page. It's nothing fancy, just a quick look at what’s there. Of course it will 

take us some time to go through State, School and Main streets and then up and down Perkins, Gobbi and other streets. And that's just within the city limits. But we figure, like painting the Golden Gate Bridge, when 

we’re done, we’ll just have to start over. We hope you’ll enjoy discovering what’s out there.

Editor: K.C. Meadows, 468-3526 The Ukiah Daily Journal 


Letters from our readers 

Legal immigration 

should be the standard 

To the Editor: 

I read Jose’ Landero’s eloquently written 

letter which appeared in your May 6, 

2006 edition. I believe that people who 

share the same love for the United States 

can disagree on policy issues. It is unfortunate 

that in many issues and particularly 

with this issue over changes to immigration 

laws that many from both sides fail to 

recognize that honorable people can disagree 

without it being a matter of hate. I 

respect Jose’s right to his opinion, but 

unfortunately, on this matter we simply 

disagree. 

For me the issue comes down to a matter 

of law. Each sovereign nation has the 

right to establish laws regarding immigration. 

This is true for the United States and 

as well as our neighbors Canada and 

Mexico. All three countries have established 

laws which regulate who is allowed 

to enter their country, who may stay for 

longer than a brief visit and to establish a 

process for immigrants to become citizens. 

For a nation to remain sovereign and to 

maintain the respect of other nations, it 

must enforce these laws and maintain control 

of its borders. 

In the case of the United States, over 

many years, a huge group of people have, 

with total disregard for these laws, violated 

its borders and entered the country illegally. 

Their entry and their continued presence 

here are in violation of United States 

law. The same would be true if I, a citizen 

of the United States, illegally entered 

Canada or Mexico without permission. 

These two countries have similar laws and 

established procedures for entering their 

country. If I choose to ignore these laws 

and enter the country illegally, regardless 

of my reason for doing so, I am subject to 

the consequences of my choices and I am 

subject to the laws of the country where I 

illegally reside. By my actions, I have 

made myself subject to their justice system 

and I risk at least deportation and at 

most imprisonment. 

There is some debate whether the contributions 

of illegal aliens to the United 

States economy are more than the cost of 

the services they receive despite their illegal 

status. There are some who say illegal 

aliens provide services that the United 

States cannot provide for itself. Each side 

of the question has facts and figures to 

back up their position. I don’t think it matters 

which side of that debate is correct. 

The fundamental question is one of 

respect for the laws of this nation. 

I believe any change to our immigration 

system which ignores the violations of law 

of those here without legitimate permission 

would create a dangerous precedent 

that we cannot permit. We cannot allow 

individuals to break our laws and then justify 

removing the consequences of their 

actions simply because there are too many 

of them or it is politically expedient to do 

so. If the situation were reversed, I refuse 

to believe that either Mexico or Canada 

would ignore their own laws to allow illegal 

aliens from the United States to 

remain in their country without legal consequences 

and they certainly would not 

grant them citizenship through general 

amnesty. 

My own ancestors came to this country 

in the 1910s and 1920s from Italy and 

Scotland. They arrived in Ellis Island and 

went through the legal process to enter, 

gained permission to stay and went 

through the procedures to become citizens. 

To allow anyone to become a citizen without 

respect for and obedience to our 

nation’s laws does its citizens a disservice 

and risks its ability to control its borders. I 

certainly hope that any changes to our 

immigration laws will require those living 

here illegally to return to their home country 

where they have legal citizenship and 

to seek legitimate permission to enter and 

if they wish to become citizens so they 

may share in the American dream without 

fear.

Other opinions 

From around the nation 

The Democrat and Chronicle, Rochester, N.Y. 

On America’s geographic knowledge 

Half of Americans age 18 

to 24 can’t locate New York 

on a map, according to a survey 

conducted in December 

and January for the National 

Geographic Society. Sixty 

percent can’t find Iraq. 

What’s worse, most of 

those surveyed don’t care. 

How many respondents 

thought it was important to 

know the location of countries 

in the news? Sadly, 

fewer than 30 percent. 

It’s not surprising that 

young people in the world’s 

richest and most powerful 

country can get away with 

those kinds of attitudes. But 

it is scary. 

This is not just about 

geography. Lack of knowledge 

about other countries 

and other cultures will hurt 

anyone who wants to make it 

in an increasingly global 

economy. And people who 

are happy to remain ignorant 

and isolated can be easily 

manipulated, leading to 

xenophobia, prejudice and 

worse. 

If 30 percent of 

Americans believe that the 

world’s most heavily fortified 

border lies between the 

United States and Mexico, 

as this survey suggests, it 

will be very difficult to have 

an intelligent national discussion 

about immigration 

policy. 

National leaders should 

be concerned that only 14 

percent of the people who 

responded to this survey 

think speaking another language 

is an important skill. 

Federal agencies are desperate 

for diplomats, military 

personnel and translators 

who are fluent in languages 

like Arabic, Farsi and 

Chinese. 

National Geographic is 

planning a multimedia campaign 

that will try to expand 

geographic options for children 

8 to 17. Ideally, the 

maps, materials and programming 

it produces will 

make geography more interesting 

to young Americans. 

Meanwhile, parents and 

teachers should do what they 

can to fill the gaps in knowledge 

and in the desire for 

knowledge revealed by this 

survey. We live in a large 

and wondrous world. Young 

people ought to know more 

about it.

Assemblywoman Patty Berg: State 

Assembly District 1, Capitol, Rm. 2137, 

Cockeyed conservation 

plans to sell federal timberland 

and subsidize Alaskan 

rain forest logging go 

against the public interest. 

The Bush administration 

is proposing to sell off up to 

300,000 acres of national 

forest land in 35 states, 

including Texas. The funds 

would be used to finance 

public schools in woodland 

areas. While the goal of 

boosting education is laudable, 

letting go irreplaceable 

national forest land to create 

short-term income is the 

wrong means to that end. 

The proposal pushed by 

Undersecretary of 

Agriculture Mark Rey 

would end a century-old federal 

policy barring outright 

sale of national forest land, 

as opposed to land swaps 

with private owners. It has 

stirred up a din of complaints 

from county and state 

officials, environmental 

groups and lawmakers. 

Included in the president’s 

2007 budget request, 

the proposal aims to raise 

$800 million to cover federal 

contributions for local 

education that had previously 

been funded by a portion 

of the revenue from the sale 

of timber extracted from

public land. In recent years 

timber sales have slumped, 

and the contributions have 

had to be supplemented. 

In Texas, 4,500 acres are 

included in the potential 

sales list. Although supporters 

of the sale say it will be 

restricted to isolated pockets 

of land, Forest Service officials 

admit they have conducted 

no analysis of the 

management costs of the 

property or the economic 

and environmental impact of 

the sales. Former U.S. Forest 

Service directors who served 

under four presidents have 

strongly criticized the plan. 

On a separate environmental 

issue, a bipartisan 

group in Congress is pushing 

an amendment to prohibit 

taxpayer funds from being 

used to build new logging 

roads in the Tongass 

National Forest in Alaska. 

While more than a billion 

federal dollars have been 

spent in the last 25 years 

subsidizing private logging 

in the temperate rain forest, 

U.S. land management has 

registered a net loss from the 

activities of nearly $40 million 

a year. Environmental 

groups claim the main 

results have been pollution 

and despoliation of an irreplaceable 

national treasure. 

Polls have consistently 

shown that the public 

strongly supports preserving 

and expanding public 

wilderness holdings. 

Americans must hope the 

same sentiments in Congress 

will kill the bill to authorize 

the sale of land in national 

forests and reverse wrongheaded 

management policies 

in the Tongass. Funding 

public education and supporting 

private industry are 

important, but we shouldn’t 

be forced into the position of 

having to choose between 

them and our priceless 

woodland heritage.

Sweet land of liberty 

NAT HENTOFF 

McCain's straight-talk 

express breaks down 

On April 23, the National Consortium of Torture 

Treatment programs -- including 34 programs that care 

for "victims of politically motivated torture" -- awarded 

Sen. John McCain its 2006 Human Rights 

Visionary Award for his "tireless work to pass the 

McCain Anti-Torture Amendment." Omitted was 

McCain's disturbing silence after his amendment was 

made meaningless to prisoners at Guantanamo Bay 

when the president signed the Detainee Treatment Act 

of 2005 last December. 

That law strips these prisoners of the habeas corpus 

rights provided them in the Supreme Court's ruling in 

Rasul et al. v. Bush in 2004. Accordingly, no matter 

how harsh these detainees' conditions of confinement 

are, they have no recourse to our courts. For example, 

during the brutal force-feeding of prisoners on a 

hunger strike, the guards told a detainee, "We can do 

what we want now because you can't go to court anymore." 

McCain has not publicly protested the effect of 

this law. 

Tom Wilner (an attorney for a number of the prisoners, 

who has talked to them at Guantanamo Bay), in 

explaining how "the heart has been taken out of the 

McCain amendment," points out that in language 

slipped into the bill during the House-Senate 

Conference Committee sessions, the final law "actually 

authorizes the tribunals at Guantanamo to use statements 

(against the detainees) obtained through coercion." 

(That can mean torture.) 

Wilner continues: "That provision works a significant 

change of existing U.S. and international law and 

actually provides an incentive for U.S. officials -- or 

officials from other governments through (CIA) renditions 

(sending terrorism suspects to other countries to 

be tortured) -- to obtain such coerced statements." 

As soon as the Detainees Treatment Act of 2005 

was signed, I called McCain's press staff, which had 

previously been quick to answer my questions. I 

requested a statement by the senator on this deep-sixing 

of his amendment outlawing cruel, inhuman and 

degrading treatment of prisoners in U.S. custody. No 

one called back. I then left a personal message for the 

senator asking for any comment he chose to make. 

There has been no response. 

Like many Americans -- and human-rights supporters 

around the world -- I had been very impressed 

when John McCain withstood persistent pressure from 

the president and from Vice President Dick Cheney to 

withdraw his anti-torture amendment. The president 

even threatened to veto the Defense Authorization bill, 

in which the McCain amendment originally appeared, 

if it stayed in. 

But then -- in a televised and otherwise much-publicized 

Oval Office meeting with McCain on the 

amendment -- the president, praising the senator, said 

nothing about a veto, and McCain had clearly prevailed. 

As it turned out, not so clearly. In a signing statement 

that accompanied the bill becoming law, the 

president -- as he has done so often to undercut other 

new laws -- made clear he would disregard the torture 

ban if harsh interrogation techniques help prevent terrorist 

attacks. 

McCain did say publicly then that he would keep an 

eye on the implementation of his amendment. But 

when that amendment was nullified for Guantanamo 

prisoners -- with much wider implications, as Wilner 

has noted -- McCain has been silent. 

Yet, the "Certificate of Appreciation" presented to 

John McCain in April reads: "in recognition of his 

unyielding will and tireless work to pass the McCain 

Anti-Torture Amendment." 

Moreover, in a comment sent to me after I questioned 

the award, Mary Fabri, president of the 

Consortium of Torture Treatment Programs, wrote: 

"We know torture is common throughout the world. 

We certainly recognize that while the McCain amendment 

is an encouraging step toward preventing future 

atrocities, we all have much work to do." 

Reading that, I thought that while the force-feeding 

at Guantanamo was getting wide attention here and 

abroad, the senator might have been able to stop it -as 

prisoners locked into restraining metal chairs were 

urinating and defecating on themselves -- by saying 

publicly that the Detention Act of 2005 was grievously 

violating his anti-torture amendment, which is uselessly 

included in the same law. 

In a Washington Post column, "A Man Who Won't 

Sell His Soul," David Ignatius writes, "A McCain candidacy, 

if he makes the formal decision next year to 

run, will be rooted in his image as a man of principle. 

But it will also be something of a balancing act -- one 

that the candidate himself is likely to find uncomfortable." 

I certainly hope so. After McCain's "triumph" in the 

Oval Office, I was seriously thinking of voting for him 

in 2008. But I have changed my mind. Situational 

ethics are not the same as real principles.

Plan ahead, 

for your health 

Q: I am 56 years old, my 

husband is 60, and our children 

are grown. Our parents are in 

their mid-80s. We are in good 

health but recently began talking 

about the need to plan for 

our future health and longterm 

care, given the rising cost 

of medical care and health coverage 

that everyone is apparently 

taking for granted. Our 

question is: When should the 

planning process begin, and 

what should be done, as our 

parents are still in good health? 

A: Assuming that you 

believe in the concept that 

planning should begin at a 

time when the most options are 

available, we believe that the 

healthcare and long-term-care 

planning process should start 

as early as possible, especially 

if: 1) you are over age 40; 2) 

you have parents who are aged 

62 or older; 3) you live in one 

of the states that makes children 

responsible for their parents’ 

medical care; 4) you have 

a disabled child; 5) you are 

divorcing; 6) you are divorced 

and are paying long-term support 

to a former spouse; 7) you 

are over age 45 and are remarrying; 

7) you are marrying for 

the second time -- or more; or 

9) your family has a history of 

Alzheimer’s disease, stroke or 

other chronic illness. 

• What are the basics? First, 

you must understand that the 

only ways to pay for long-term 

care in a nursing home are 1) 

out of your own pocket; 2) 

with long-term-care insurance; 

or 3) via Medicaid after you 

have become impoverished. If 

you are over age 65, Medicare 

will pay for nursing home care 

only in limited circumstances 

for a limited period of time. 

Second, understand that the 

only payment sources for 

assisted living are 1) your own 

money; or 2) long-term-care 

Yahoo 


mostly of teens and young 

adults -- has more than quadrupled 

during the past year to 

38.4 million U.S. visitors. 

What’s more, MySpace’s visitors 

viewed a total of 19 billion 

pages on the site in April, surpassing 

Google (11.9 billion 

pages), MSN (11.5 billion 

pages) and AOL (6.8 billion 

pages). 

Yahoo remains the Web’s 

most viewed site, serving up 

31.2 billion pages in April, but 

some analysts believe 

MySpace’s rapid growth foreshadows 

a changing of the 

guard.

insurance. This is because 

Medicare coverage of nursing 

home care is very limited. 

Third, understand that if you 

have a premarital agreement 

providing that you are not 

responsible for your spouse’s 

obligations, your agreement is 

not binding on third persons - 

meaning that if your spouse 

enters a nursing home or 

requires medical care or other 

“necessaries,” your assets can 

be tapped for this care. 

• What is the best way to 

begin the process? The first 

step is for family members to 

seek the advice of a qualified 

attorney in their state of residence 

who can explain the ins 

and outs of long-term and 

health care planning. Then, at a 

minimum, family members 

should sign appropriate 

durable powers of attorney, 

durable health care powers of 

attorney, and wills designed 

for their specific individual 

needs and circumstances. We 

caution our readers not to rely 

on forms, kits, books or computer 

programs for “do-ityourself” 

documents when you 

are dealing with issues this 

important. And, lastly, we suggest 

that you look into longterm-care 

insurance as a way 

to either fully or partially fund 

long-term-care expenses 

should they occur. The 

younger you are, the lower the 

cost. 

lyst Mike McGuire. “I think 

you are going to see constant 

tweaking because of sites like 

MySpace.” 

Remaining the most trafficked 

and viewed Web site is 

important to Yahoo because 

those measures are critical to 

the advertisers that provide the 

company with most of its profits. 

As it is, Yahoo’s earnings 

haven’t been growing rapidly 

as Google’s -- a factor that has 

weighed on Yahoo’s stock 

price, which has dropped by 21 

percent so far this year. 

Meanwhile, Google’s stock 

price has declined by 9 percent. 

Yahoo’s shares rose 7 cents 

to $31.10 in early trading on 

the Nasdaq Stock Market, 

where Google’s shares fell 

$2.34 to $373.86.

More Americans commuting on two 

wheels to avoid rising gas prices 

By TERENCE CHEA 

The Associated Press 

SAN FRANCISCO -- Fed up with sitting 

in traffic and paying more than $50 to 

fill his tank, Scott Morrison ditched his 

gas-guzzling pickup and started biking to 

work. 

Rain or shine, Morrison now bikes the 

six miles from his home in Fairfield, about 

45 miles northeast of San Francisco, to the 

packaging plant where he works as a 

machine operator. Six months after 

switching to two wheels, he feels more 

relaxed and healthier, having lost nearly 

50 pounds. 

“Every time I get on the scale, it’s like 

I’m getting rewarded for riding to work,” 

said Morrison, 38. “The two biggest complaints 

people have are not having enough 

money and obesity. I’m taking care of 

both.” 

As gas prices climb to record highs, 

more Americans seem to be abandoning 

their cars and biking to work to save 

money at the pump. This week, as cities 

across the country celebrate National Bike 

to Work Week, advocates are promoting 

bicycle commuting as a way to trim transportation 

costs, get in shape and help the 

environment. 

“Every additional person who rides 

their bike to work would start reducing our 

dependence on foreign oil immediately,” 

said Tim Blumenthal, who heads the Bikes 

Belong Coalition in Boulder, Colo. 

Cycling to work is just one way 

Americans are seeking relief from skyrocketing 

gas prices. People who normally 

drive to work are riding public buses 

and trains, working from home and carpooling 

with colleagues. 

“People are starting to look for fundamentally 

different ways to travel,” said 

Bill Wilkinson, executive director of the 

National Center for Bicycling and 

Walking in Bethesda, Md. The soaring 

price of fuel “prompts people to really 

think about where they live and how they 

get around.” 

Bike shops nationwide are seeing more 

customers who want to buy new bikes or 

repair old ones to commute on, said Fred 

Clements, who heads the National Bicycle 

Dealers Association in Costa Mesa, Calif. 

“They have seen a surge in interest 

from the public about riding bicycles as a 

way to reduce the impact of high gas 

prices,” Clements said. “People that 

already have bikes suddenly realize this 

would be a great way to save money.” 

About 20 million bikes were sold in the 

United States in 2005, one of the industry’s 

best years ever, and retailers are opti- 

mistic that escalating gas prices will lead 

to record bike sales this year, Clements 

said. 

Organizers are promoting National 

Bike to Work Week with a series of events 

aimed at getting drivers to try commuting 

by bicycle, if only for a day. Minneapolis, 

Salt Lake City and Washington, D.C., 

among others, will hold special events for 

commuters Friday, National Bike to Work 

Day. 

The San Francisco Bay Area is marking 

its 12th annual Bike to Work Day on 

Thursday, when volunteers will hand out 

refreshments, breakfast foods and biking 

information at 170 “energizer” stations in 

nine counties. 

About 36,000 Bay Area residents bike 

to work on a typical work day, but organizers 

expect up to 100,000 people to participate 

on Thursday, given the widespread 

frustration over gas prices that have surged 

past $3.50 per gallon here and elsewhere. 

“The biggest challenge is that people 

think the car is more convenient,” said 

Cole Portocarrero, who heads the Bay 

Area Bicycle Coalition, a sponsor of the 

event. Once they try biking to work, “they 

realize it’s convenient, fun and enjoyable.” 

Unlike most countries, the vast majority 

of bikes sold in the United States are 

used for recreation rather than transportation. 

About 550,000 Americans -- less than 

1 percent of U.S. workers -- bike to work 

regularly, according to Blumenthal. 

Advocates are trying to boost those 

numbers. But while cities like San 

Francisco, New York, Chicago, Seattle 

and Minneapolis have bike-friendly streets 

and high numbers of two-wheel commuters, 

other cities were built for cars and 

lack bike lanes and paths. 

“You don’t feel the love in a lot of 

places when you’re riding your bike,” 

Blumental said. “For a lot of people, it’s 

intimidating and you don’t feel safe. It’s a 

lack of shared respect between cyclists 

and motorists.” 

But advocates are optimistic that 

America will become more bike-friendly 

as cities, states and the federal government 

boost spending on bike paths, lockup 

racks and bike stations where cyclists can 

park and shower. 

The $286 billion federal transportation 

bill signed last year will double the 

amount of money available for bike and 

pedestrian facilities to about $4 billion. 

Federal legislation introduced in the 

Senate last month would offer employers a 

tax incentive to help cover the cost of riding 

to work.

Costly errors

Potter Valley pitcher Jesse Williams drives a pitch into left field in the fourth inning Tuesday 

afternoon against Point Arena. The Pirates went on to win the game, 9-7. 

Bearcats fall 

short against 

Pirates, 9-7 

By RYAN GARNER 


The Point Arena Pirates would 

be the first to tell you they lucked 

out. The club held off a late rally to 

capture a 9-7 victory over the 

Potter Valley Bearcats Tuesday 

afternoon. 

Potter Valley fell victim to several 

defensive errors and passed 

balls, allowing the Pirates to 

advance base runners into scoring 

position in nearly every inning. 

Clutch hitting to all fields 

helped Point Arena secure a 9-3 in 

the sixth inning. 

The Bearcats pulled to within 

two runs late in the game, but 

couldn’t find a way to produce 

runs and close the gap. 

“Our guys gave a great effort 

and never gave up,” said Potter 

Valley assistant coach Terry Allen. 

“We made a couple mistakes, but 

we battled back hard.” 

Leading 6-3 in the top of the 

sixth inning with a runner on first, 

Pirates catcher Chris Washington 

crushed a 2-1 pitch deep into leftcenter 

field. 

The ball was hit so hard it 

winced as it came off the bat, 

allowing Washington to score easily 

on an in-the-park home run. 

The two-run play turned out to 

be the difference in the 9-7 Pirates 

victory. 

“I was hitting the ball pretty 

good today,” said Washington. “I 

just wanted to make good contact 

and do my thing out there.” 

The Bearcats responded with 

three runs in the bottom of the 

sixth inning, cutting the margin to 

9-6. 

Potter Valley added another run 

in the seventh, and had the tying 

run at the plate before a lined shot 

to the third baseman ended the ball 

game. 

Point Arena improved to 10-5 

overall on the season with the victory. 

Potter Valley will take to the 

field again Friday afternoon at 4 

p.m., playing host to Anderson 

Valley. 

Giants stomp Astros 

By JANIE McCAULEY 


HOUSTON — Nobody wants 

to surrender Barry Bonds’ next 

home run, and Astros right-hander 

Russ Springer wasn’t about to 

wind up on the wrong end of history 

Tuesday night. 

He wound up and plunked the 

San Francisco slugger instead. 

On the way to a Giants 14-3 victory 

over Houston, Bonds went 2for-4 

and drove in a run for the 

second straight day. But just when 

it looked like Bonds may be finding 

his stroke again, Springer 

couldn’t find the plate. 

And Bonds still hasn’t found 

home run No. 714. 

The wild confrontation began 

when Bonds led off the fifth 

inning. Springer’s first pitch sailed 

behind Bonds’ back, drawing a 

warning from plate umpire Joe 

West. 

The next four pitches all came 

inside, including one that hit 

Bonds’ bat handle on the third 

delivery for strike one. On the fifth 

pitch, Springer plunked Bonds in 

the right shoulder as he turned to 

protect himself. 

That’s when Springer and manager 

Phil Garner got ejected — 

and the Houston crowd of 35,286 

gave Springer a standing ovation. 

The pitcher, who had allowed one 

homer to Bonds previously, could 

be fined or suspended. 

Bonds was unhurt and trotted 

down the first-base line and later 

scored on Jose Vizcaino’s RBI single 

to give the Giants a 12-3 lead. 

He also remained stalled at 713 

homers — one shy of tying Babe 

Ruth for second place on the 

career list — for his eighth straight 

game. He gave way to defensive 

replacement Jason Ellison in the 

top of the sixth. 

The 41-year-old Bonds had 

already singled twice and driven in 

a run in San Francisco’s five-run 

xxxx 

Slugger Barry Bonds takes a mighty swing, but failed once 

again to hit his 714th home run against the Houston Astros. 

first. He flied out to the warning 

track in right in the second and to 

center to end the sixth. 

Bonds has not homered in 26 atbats 

since hitting 713 with a 450foot 

shot in Philadelphia on May 7, 

going 4-for-26 during that stretch. 

“It’s just a matter of when he’ll 

go back,” Astros ace Andy Pettitte 

said. “If I was pitching against 

him, I wouldn’t be that worried or 

upset if it happened to be me. I 

would try to pitch to him the way 

the game dictates. ...

Desperate Sharks 

determined to rally 

against Oilers 

By GREG BEACHAM 


SAN JOSE — Desperation is like an old 

jersey for the San Jose Sharks. They wore it 

for nearly three months while fighting to 

make the postseason, so it wasn’t difficult to 

put it on again when facing playoff elimination 

this week. 

In fact, coach Ron Wilson thinks desperation 

is an excellent fit for his young club — 

but if he’s wrong, a roller-coaster season is 

over. 

The Sharks are down 3-2 in their secondround 

playoff series after three consecutive 

losses to the Edmonton Oilers, who can earn 

the franchise’s first trip to the Western 

Conference finals since 1992 with a home 

win Wednesday night. 

“We’ve been an underdog all year,” 

Wilson said after practice Tuesday. “We’ve 

been so far behind, we got lapped. We’ve 

been in this position so many times that 

we’re kind of immune to it.” 

And as Wilson pointed out to his players, 

a 3-2 series lead hardly guarantees a pass to 

the next round: In the last six playoff seasons, 

a whopping 15 teams have rallied from 

that deficit to win a series. 

Five of the last six NHL champions did it, 

including the Tampa Bay Lightning’s dramatic 

Stanley Cup finals rally in 2004 — and 

four of those five champs had to win a Game 

6 on the road to stay alive in the playoffs. 

If the fifth-seeded Sharks are a championship-caliber 

team, as Wilson firmly 

believes, they must do the same to force a 

decisive Game 7 in San Jose on Friday night. 

“It happens every year, and it hasn’t happened 

yet this year,” Wilson said. “We’ll be 

ready, and we’ll throw everything we have at 

Edmonton, and if they win, we’ll stand back 

and applaud them ... but I think our guys will 

get it done.” 

The Sharks’ whole season was about roaring 

from behind. They floundered early in 

the year, even after Joe Thornton arrived in a 

trade with Boston, and were in 10th place in 

the conference standings with less than two

rejoins 

Athletics 

Matt Roney also 

recalled from AAA 


OAKLAND — Right-hander Steve 

Karsay rejoined the Oakland A’s in time for 

their game against the Seattle Mariners on 

Tuesday night. 

Karsay was acquired from the Cleveland 

Indians in a minor-league deal Sunday. 

Right-hander Matt Roney was also 

recalled from Triple-A Sacramento, and lefthander 

Randy Keisler was placed on the 

bereavement list effective Monday. The A’s 

also optioned catcher Jeremy Brown to the 

River Cats. 

“To be here in this situation I feel very 

fortunate,” Karsay said. “I beat the odds a little 

bit.” 

Karsay made his major league debut with 

the A’s in 1993 after he was acquired from 

Toronto in a trade that sent Rickey 

Henderson to the Blue Jays. Karsay started 

36 games in three seasons with Oakland, 

compiling a 7-16 record with a 4.94 ERA. 

Karsay missed the 2003 season after 

undergoing surgery and his doctor suggested 

he would not be able to pitch again. 

“I believed him but I never accepted it,” 

Karsay said. 

A’s manager Ken Macha said Karsay 

could come in at any time in the game. 

“I told him there were no rules in the 

bullpen and he could be called in to pitch at 

any time, so be ready,” Macha said. 

Roney makes his second appearance on 

the 25-man roster. He made two relief 

appearances before being optioned to 

Sacramento on Friday. Keisler left the team 

in New York to return home to be with his 

ailing grandmother.

tower will be topped by the 

first Playboy Club to be in 

operation in 25 years. 

The wide-ranging expansion 

is a risk for the grandson 

of a Lebanese immigrant 

known for pushing the limits 

in a city that seemingly has 

none. 

But Maloof, 41, is used to 

winning big. He parlayed an 

$8 million family investment 

in a neighborhood casino back 

in the mid-’90s into what is 

now a nearly $1 billion resort 

less than a mile from the Strip. 

“As they say, ’All in,”’ says 

Maloof, a former late-night 

gambler in his college days at 

UNLV. “We’re all in on this. 

We’re all in.” 

By some accounts, Maloof 

is a visionary tycoon-in-training, 

following in the footsteps 

of billionaire Steve Wynn, 

who raised the level of opulence 

on the Strip with The 

Mirage back in 1989. 

Maloof’s main contribution 

to Las Vegas, though, has 

been to up the star wattage in 

what has increasingly become 

a celebrity playground. 

Maloof had his eyes set on 

the Hollywood glitterati even 

before the Palms burst into the 

public eye when it hosted 

MTV’s reality show “The 

Real World” in 2002, and later 

two seasons of Bravo’s 

“Celebrity Poker Showdown.” 

In October 2001, a month 

before the Palms hotel-casino 

opened, Maloof hosted a party 

Giants 


going to rattle off a lot of 

home runs in a short period of 

time, unless, obviously, he’s 

banged up.” 

Or just plain exhausted. 

After playing for the eighth 

straight day, Bonds is scheduled 

to get his first day off 

Wednesday since sitting out a 

makeup game against the 

Astros on May 8 in San 

Francisco — his longest 

stretch in the starting lineup 

without a break since playing 

10 consecutive days from 

June 18-27, 2004. He could 

pinch hit Wednesday night, 

however. 

The slugger played only 14 

games in 2005 — all in 

September — following three 

operations on his troublesome 

right knee. 

Pedro Feliz had a solo 

home run to start the seventh 

and added an RBI single for 

the Giants a day after hitting 

his fourth career grand slam. 

Feliz has played every inning 

so far this season. Omar 

Vizquel drove in four runs, 

with a bases-clearing triple 

and sacrifice fly. 

The Giants staked starter 

Jamey Wright (4-3) to a 5-0 

lead in the first with five 

straight one-out hits against 

Wandy Rodriguez (5-2) as 

San Francisco batted around.

George Maloof Jr., co-owner of the Sacramento 

Kings, could bring an NBA team to Las Vegas. 

at the Playboy Mansion in Los 

Angeles with his blackjack 

dealers enticing celebrities 

and the media to take a hit 

with play money. 

“He made it known that he 

was going to court the hip 

L.A. crowd,” said Anthony 

Curtis, president of 

LasVegasAdvisor.com, who 

attended the event.” 

The sighting of celebrities 

and pro athletes is now a cottage 

industry in Las Vegas, 

providing plenty of grist for 

gossip columnists, magazines 

and a permanent bureau for 

the entertainment TV show 

“Extra.” 

Maloof is credited with 

helping set the trend, especially 

with his courtship of the 

MTV generation. 

“’The Real World’ was an 

absolutely staggering hit for 

all of those involved: MTV, 

the cast, and most importantly 

George Maloof and the Palms 

and then Vegas,” says TV personality 

and AOL blogger 

Robin Leach. “That opened 

the floodgates for celebrities. 

So you’ve got to give George 

that.” 

Maloof also has been 

instrumental in helping Las 

Vegas inch closer to its dream 

San Francisco also jumped to 

a big lead early in its 10-1 victory 

Monday. 

Wright pitched seven 

strong innings for his second 

straight win after a three-start 

losing streak. 

Morgan Ensberg hit his 

13th home run of the season 

with a two-run shot in the first 

for the Astros, sending a 3-2 

pitch into the seats above the 

out-of-town scoreboard in 

left. His shot came moments 

after he broke his bat and had 

to go get another one. 

Bonds hit an RBI single 

just inside the line past first in 

an eight-pitch at-bat in the 

first inning, his second 

straight game driving in a run 

after getting an RBI double 

Monday to end an 0-for-15 

funk. 

After taking a called strike 

one in the second, Bonds flied 

out to right field on the second 

pitch he saw. Jason Lane 

made the catch a few feet in 

front of the fence. Bonds lined 

a 2-0 pitch to right for a single 

to start the fourth. 

Springer entered in the 

fourth with the bases loaded 

and immediately gave up a 

bases-clearing triple to 

Vizquel before getting Ray 

Durham to fly out to center. 

Center fielder Willy 

Taveras dropped a routine fly 

by Mike Matheny for a twobase 

error in the fourth, then 

failed to field Vizquel’s ball to 

right-center that was right in 

of permanently hosting a professional 

sports franchise. 

The city has long been 

shunned by leagues afraid of 

the taint of legalized sports 

betting. 

But a little more than a year 

ago, Maloof received a call 

from his brothers who run the 

Kings, Joe and Gavin, with 

news the NBA was interested 

in bringing the All-Star game 

to Sin City. He called around 

to casino executives. 

“I asked them if we had the 

opportunity to get the NBA in 

Las Vegas for the All-Star 

game, would you consider 

taking the game off the 

book?” Maloof recalls. “And 

everybody said, 

’Absolutely.”’ 

When they brought the proposal 

to Las Vegas Mayor 

Oscar Goodman, Goodman 

says he was skeptical. But 

after a call to the league commissioner 

and after an order 

was given from the state gaming 

commission not to accept 

bets for the event, the game 

was quickly OK’d. 

“He was the brains behind 

the outfit,” Goodman says. 

“Without George, this wouldn’t 

have been a twinkle in my 

eye.” 

his glove — and Vizquel was 

credited with a hit. 

When Taveras caught 

Durham’s high fly to end the 

inning, he received loud 

cheers. 

Houston resident Cody 

Eastwood, 19, showed up 

dressed like a syringe — complete 

with an aluminum foil 

top serving as the needle — 

was asked to remove the costume 

before the Giants finished 

batting practice. 

Bonds kept moving spots in 

the dugout to see whether the 

horde of cameras following 

his every move would move 

as he picked a new place to sit. 

His relaxed mood seemed 

to carry over onto the field. 

Back in the Bay Area in 

Oakland, where the Giants 

play a three-game interleague 

series starting Friday, the 

Athletics are already discussing 

their strategy for the 

slugger. 

Giants manager Felipe 

Alou has said he hopes Bonds 

can play designated hitter all 

three days. 

“That would be interesting 

to watch,” A’s manager Ken 

Macha said before his team 

played the Seattle Mariners. 

“If we have a 10-2 lead and he 

hits a home run, that’s OK 

with me. 

“He’s a good enough player 

it doesn’t matter how much 

he’s struggling. Good players 

are good players and good 

players rise to the occasion.”

Sharks 


weeks left in the regular season 

before eight straight wins 

catapulted them into fifth. 

They played thrilling 

hockey, but were profoundly 

streaky — and they’ve been 

spotty in the playoffs again, 

following up six consecutive 

wins over Nashville and 

Edmonton with three losses 

in five days. 

The Sharks certainly didn’t 

seem to be under pressure 

during an hour-long practice 

Tuesday before their flight to 

Edmonton. 

The mood on the ice was 

light and convivial, with 

Thornton flipping pucks at 

backup defenseman Rob 

Davison while several players 

accused each other of 

breaking a glass pane. 

“Well, it’s supposed to be 

fun,” said Jonathan 

Cheechoo, who has goals in 

the past two games after a 

five-game drought. “We’re 

going to try to stick with 

what’s worked for us out 

there. I think it helps to leave 

some of the pressure (on the 

ice) and not think about the

game so much.” 

Cheechoo enjoys playing 

at Rexall Place because of 

the good ice, the energizing 

crowd and the memories: He 

saw his first NHL games in 

Edmonton as a 6-year-old in 

1986, traveling from his 

father’s school in 

Saskatchewan to see Wayne 

Gretzky, Mark Messier and 

Jari Kurri as they beat 

Montreal and Los Angeles. 

Gretzky and Messier 

rarely faced the power-play 

drought plaguing the Sharks, 

who are 2-for-27 against the 

Oilers with a bumbling manadvantage 

attack that’s completely 

regressed to its struggles 

before Thornton teamed 

up with Cheechoo and captain 

Patrick Marleau. 

Edmonton’s defense constantly 

crowds Thornton with 

defenders, even when the 

Oilers are short-handed. 

“We’ve got to be more 

committed to setting up in 

front of their net, and I’ve 

just got to present myself to 

the puck better, be ready to 

shoot at all times,” said 

Cheechoo, whose ever-ready 

shot generated an NHL-best 

56 goals in the regular season. 

San Jose’s defense hasn’t 

HONDA 

been much better in the last 

two games, with countless 

small mistakes by the six 

rookies in its regular playoff 

lineup. Goalie Vesa Toskala 

has allowed 11 goals in the 

last two games, getting 

pulled in Game 4 and stopping 

just 12 shots in Game 5 

— but Wilson plans to stick 

with the ever-calm Finnish 

netminder. 

“I don’t need any brain 

doctors to handle this type of 

situation,” Toskala said. “It’s 

going to be fine.” 

Thornton, the NHL scoring 

champion, has two goals 

and three assists in the series 

despite “playing in a phone 

booth” because of the Oilers’ 

pressure, according to 

defenseman Kyle McLaren. 

But at the end of a crazy first 

season with his new team, 

Thornton thinks the Sharks 

have the toughness and 

smarts to make one more turn 

away from the brink of disaster. 

“They’ve been real good 

at home in the playoffs, and 

we have to put up a better 

fight in their building,” 

Thornton said. “We didn’t 

put up too big of a fight in the 

last two games.”

Bush undergoes MRI 

By BRETT MARTEL 


METAIRIE, La. — Reggie 

Bush underwent an MRI 

exam on his left hamstring 

Monday after he spent all 

three days of the Saints’ rookie 

camp limited to watching or 

participating in half-speed 

drills. 

Bush and Saints coach 

Sean Payton so far have 

shown only minimal concern 

about the injury. 

“It feels good, but obviously 

not 100 percent,” said 

Bush, adding he could not 

recall having a hamstring 

injury before. “That’s why 

we’re taking precaution.” 

Bush said he expected to be 

“100 percent” by the end of 

the week, well ahead of the 

Saints’ full-squad minicamp 

slated for June 2-4. 

While Bush’s exceptional 

speed, his ability to quickly 

accelerate, and his agility are 

what Saints fans and coaches 

are so eager to see, Payton 

was more concerned that 

Bush simply learn his new 

offensive system. 

“He’s been able to get these 

walkthrough snaps and mentally 

he understands what 

we’re trying to do. ... He’s following 

along with the 

scripts,” Payton said. 

Bush was able to run when 

he wanted, racing forward at 

the end of the last practice to 

haul in a kick that was falling 

15 yards in front of where he 

set up to receive it. Coaches 

would have preferred he didn’t 

even do that much. 

“The last thing I want is 

something that all of a sudden 

goes from being not too big, 

to becoming a deal that, all of 

a sudden, he’s not in minicamp,” 

Payton said. “So I just 

want to make sure we’re being 

smart and not being dumb. 

The good news is it’s felt better 

... . Just from talking to 

Reggie himself, I think it’s 

something that’s minor.” 

Bush’s impact on New 

Orleans already is more than 

minor. 

File Photo 

New Orleans running back Reggie Bush was the second 

overall selection in last month’s NFL Draft. 

Well-versed Catholics 

know there really was a St. 

Reginald of Orleans, who 

lived in France about eight 

centuries ago. The Heisman 

Trophy-winning Bush may 

soon become known as Saint 

Reginald of New Orleans — 

now that the coincidence has 

been pointed out by local religious 

figures who celebrated 

Bush’s donation Monday to a 

struggling Catholic school for 

children with learning difficulties. 

“That might be a good new 

nickname,” said Bush, who 

was given a plaque that 

included a miniature reproduction 

of a fresco of St. 

Reginald. 

In a city known for its 

Catholic heritage, where actual 

nuns and a well-known fan 

dressed as Moses attend 

Saints home games, some 

have proclaimed that divine 

intervention brought Bush to 

New Orleans. Until the eve of 

draft day, few expected Bush 

to be passed over by Houston, 

which had the first pick, followed 

by the Saints at No. 2. 

Bush received the plaque 

and other mementos during an 

appearance at the Holy 

Rosary School, which was in 

danger of closing before parents 

embarked on a fundraising 

campaign.. 

About 210 children 

between pre-kindergarten and 

10th grade, all wearing white 

T-shirts with a black and gold 

fleur-de-lis, erupted in cheers 

when Bush showed up. As a 

gesture of thanks, the children 

presented him with a football 

and flag with their autographs 

on it.

Hong Kong bans beef 

from California 

meat processing plant 


HONG KONG -- Hong 

Kong suspended beef imports 

Tuesday from a California 

processing plant run by Harris 

Ranch Beef Co. after its beef 

violated precautions against 

mad cow disease by including 

bone. 

Hong Kong currently only 

allows the import of U.S. 

boneless beef from cattle less 

than 30 months old, with 

high-risk body parts such as 

the brain and spinal cord 

removed. 

The policy replaced a twoyear 

total ban on U.S. beef in 

late December. 

Hong Kong has already 

banned beef imports from two 

other U.S. meat processing 

companies for violating the 

By ALICIA CHANG 

AP Science Writer 

LOS ANGELES -- Seven months after an 

unmanned Volkswagen successfully drove 

itself over the rugged desert, the Pentagon is 

sponsoring another challenge for self-driving 

vehicles that can weave through congested city 

traffic without causing an accident. 

The contest, to be held in November 2007, 

will test the vehicles’ ability to independently 

carry out a simulated military supply mission in 

an urban setting in less than six hours. 

The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research 

Projects Agency, or DARPA, created the latest 

challenge to spur development of vehicles that 

could be used in the battlefield without any sort 

of remote control. 

Participants will have to navigate a complex 

60-mile test course in a yet-to-be-determined 

city filled with moving vehicles -- both manned 

and unmanned. The test course will be designed 

like a real city street where vehicles will have to 

make sharp turns, navigate intersections and 

avoid crashing into obstacles such as utility 

poles, trees and parked cars. 

Equipped only with a computer brain and 

sensors, the participants will be graded on how 

well they can obey traffic laws, change lanes, 

merge with moving cars and pull into a parking 

lot. The first vehicle that successfully completes 

the mission will win $2 million. Unlike previous 

DARPA contests, in which the winner takes 

all, second-place finishers will get $500,000 

NOTICE OF EVIDENTIARY HEARING IN PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY’S 

2005 NUCLEAR DECOMMISSIONING COST TRIENNIAL PROCEEDING (NDCTP) 

APPLICATION 05-11-009 FOR AN ELECTRIC REVENUE [1] INCREASE 

Evidentiary Hearings for the above referenced matter are scheduled for 

May 22-26, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. 

California Public Utilities Commission Courtroom, Ground Floor, 

505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, California, 94102 

What is NDCTP and what does it do? 

NDCTP stands for Nuclear Decommissioning Cost Triennial Proceeding. This proceeding is filed every three 

years and provides the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) with an opportunity to review PG&E’s 

updated nuclear decommissioning cost studies and ratepayer contribution analysis. This review determines 

the amount of money needed to fully fund the nuclear decommissioning master trusts to the level needed 

to decommission (remove from service) PG&E’s two nuclear power plants: Diablo Canyon Power Plant 

(Diablo Canyon) and Humboldt Bay Power Plant Unit 3 (Humboldt Unit 3). In addition, Humboldt Unit 3 

SAFSTOR[2] operations and maintenance (O&M) costs are also included in this proceeding. 

On November 10, 2005, PG&E filed its NDCTP application with the CPUC. In this application PG&E 

requests the authority to collect in rates, $9.491 million and $14.621 million for the Diablo Canyon Unit 1 and 

Humboldt Unit 3 Nuclear Decommissioning Trusts, respectively, and $13.232 million for Humboldt Unit 3 

SAFSTOR O&M costs. If approved by the CPUC, rate increases will be effective January 1, 2007 through 2009. 

If the CPUC approves PG&E’s request for an electric rate increase, the bill for a typical bundled service 

residential customer using 540 kWh per month in 2007 would increase $0.02 from $66.17 to $66.19, based 

on rates currently in effect. The bill for a typical bundled service residential customer using approximately 

twice the average baseline allowance, or 840 kWh per month, would increase $0.10 from $122.63 to 

$122.73. Individual customer bills may differ. 

PG&E provided a more illustrative allocation of the potential rate increases among customer classes under 

its proposal in a bill insert that was mailed directly to customers in December of 2005. 

What if I want more information about this application or have comments or concerns? 

In addition to the detailed explanation below, you may contact the CPUC’s Public Advisor with comments 

or questions as follows:

new policy. 

A spokesman at Harris 

Ranch, based in Selma, Calif., 

said the bone found Monday 

at Hong Kong’s airport was 

about a half-inch sliver. 

“We’re taking the matter 

seriously,” said Bruce 

Berven, marketing vice president. 

“But obviously bones 

are part of a beef carcass. 

When you’re processing 

meat, you’re going to have 

bone.” 

Harris Ranch has sent 

about 20,000 pounds of beef 

to Hong Kong since it 

resumed exporting there in 

January, less than 1 percent of 

the company’s exports. 

Berven does not know 

when exports to Hong Kong 

will resume. The company is

one of the leading beef 

exporters in California, 

though a midsize player in the 

U.S. beef industry, he said. 

“One always wonders how 

incidents like this will affect 

the reopening of markets to 

other nations,” Berven said. 

Japan and South Korea, 

two of the largest foreign 

markets for American beef, 

have also shut their doors to 

the product over concerns 

about mad cow disease. 

Mad cow disease, or 

bovine spongiform 

encephalopathy, is a degenerative 

nerve disease in cattle. 

In people, eating contaminated 

meat products is linked to 

a rare but fatal disease called 

variant Creutzfeldt Jakob disease. 

Autonomous vehicles to 

drive in traffic for $2 million 

while third place will receive $250,000. 

Last October, DARPA awarded $2 million to 

a driverless Volkswagen SUV, which beat out a 

field of 23 vehicles by traversing 132 miles of 

twisting desert and mountain terrain. While the 

vehicles had to drive on rough road and dodge 

man-made obstacles, they didn’t have to drive 

in traffic. 

“We believe the robotics community is ready 

to tackle vehicle operation inside city limits,” 

DARPA director Tony Tether said in a statement. 

Stanford University computer scientist 

Sebastian Thrun, who won last year’s race, said 

he was excited to see DARPA take the challenge 

to the next level. Thrun said the artificial 

intelligence knowledge gained from the contest 

could also benefit society by pushing the development 

of “smart cars” that can self-navigate 

on highways and potentially reduce accidents. 

DARPA can choose to fund certain teams to 

build their vehicles. In turn, the agency will 

receive some licensing rights to the technology 

that’s developed. Or teams can raise their own 

money to build their vehicles. Either way, 

teams will face off in a semifinal match and the 

field will be winnowed down to compete in the 

final round. 

DARPA -- faced with a congressional mandate 

to have a third of all military ground vehicles 

unmanned by 2015 -- created its first challenge 

in 2004 in the Mojave Desert. But the 

race ended without a winner when all the 

entrants broke down before the finish line. 

Please refer to application number 05-11-009: PG&E's 2005 NDCTP. All comments will be circulated to the 

Commissioners, the assigned Administrative Law Judge and Energy Division staff and will become part of 

the formal correspondence record for this proceeding. 

THE CPUC PROCESS 

The CPUC’s Independent Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA) will review this application, analyze the 

proposal, and present an independent analysis and recommendations for the CPUC's consideration. Other 

parties will also participate. 

The CPUC may hold evidentiary hearings where parties present their proposals in testimony and are subject 

to cross-examination before an Administrative Law Judge. These hearings are open to the public, but only 

those wishing to present evidence or cross-examine witnesses may participate. 

After considering all proposals and evidence presented during the hearing process, the CPUC will issue a 

decision. When the CPUC acts on this application, it may adopt all or part of PG&E's request, amend or 

modify it, or deny the application. The CPUC's final decision may be different from PG&E's proposal.

MTV enters online music fray with 

launch of new download service 

By ALEX VEIGA 


LOS ANGELES -- For 

years, MTV Networks Inc. sat 

on the sidelines while Apple 

Computer Inc., RealNetworks 

Inc. and others racked up sales 

of music downloads. 

Now the cable network 

group that helped popularize 

music videos two decades ago 

is entering the online music 

fray with URGE, a new service 

that makes its public beta debut 

on Wednesday. 

URGE comes integrated 

into the newest version of 

Microsoft Corp.’s Windows 

Media Player, which users of 

Microsoft’s Windows will 

receive in coming weeks as an 

upgrade. Prior to that, the player 

upgrade will be available for 

download at the URGE and 

Microsoft Web sites. 

At launch, URGE will have 

more than 2 million tracks, 

which can be purchased individually 

at 99 cents or as full 

albums starting at around 

$9.95. 

The service also will offer 

unlimited downloads at a 

monthly rate of $9.95, or 

$14.95 for the ability to transfer 

songs to any of more than 100 

compatible portable music 

players. 

Initially, URGE will also 

feature streaming videos, with 

video downloads becoming 

available for purchase later this 

year. 

URGE will also be the featured 

music service on 

Microsoft’s media player, 

which will continue to have 

built-in links to several other 

services. 

The company has begun 

clearing content from its vault 

of exclusive appearances by 

recording artists on staples 

such as “TRL” and “MTV 

Unplugged” for sale on URGE, 

said Van Toffler, president of 

MTV Networks Music Group. 

“We’re just getting going,” 

Toffler said. “Our networks 

over the last several years have 

the world’s richest library, from 

Nirvana, Tupac, Brad Paisley, 

to Sheryl Crow, have done 

thousands of performances on 

our different channels.” 

The tie-in to MTV should 

also help URGE sell consumers 

on the upside of subscription 

services better than 

others have to date, said analyst 

Phil Leigh with Inside Digital 

Media. 

“The thing that works to 

their advantage is they have a 

well-recognized brand that is 

popular to a demographic that 

is going to be receptive to purchasing 

digital music,” Leigh 

said. 

Still, URGE enters an online 

music market struggling to 

compete with online piracy and 

the dominance of Apple’s 

iTunes Music Store and its 

market-leading iPod digital 

music player. 

And like established rivals 

RealNetworks’ Rhapsody and 

Napster Inc., URGE is not 

compatible with Apple’s 

Macintosh computers or its 

market-leading iPod digital 

music player. 

That incompatibility, combined 

with the availability of 

music on Internet file-sharing 

networks, has made subscription 

music plans a tough sell. 

Earlier this year, Napster

RealNetworks, which doesn’t 

break out the number of 

Rhapsody subscribers, says it 

has more than 1.7 million paying 

customers for the service 

and its cadre of radio streaming 

plans combined. 

Apple’s iTunes Music Store, 

which doesn’t offer a subscription 

plan, has sold more than 1 

billion songs since its launch 

three years ago, while more 

than 50 million iPods have 

been purchased since 2001. 

“Whether the consumer 

really wants a service that’s 

only compatible with non-iPod 

players is going to be the big 

issue,” said Steve Gordon, 

entertainment attorney and 

author of “The Future of the 

Music Business.” 

Toffler acknowledges the 

popularity of Apple’s store and 

player, but argues both the a la 

carte singles model and the 

subscription business are still 

in their infancy. 

“Only 5 percent of music 

sales happen digitally,” he said. 

“Hopefully, through the TV 

channels we have and the dotcom 

sites ... we can educate 

people about the virtues of subscriptions. 

It’s not about selling 

a million singles.”

Analyst says state budget 

positive, warns about debt 

By AARON C. DAVIS 


SACRAMENTO -- Gov. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 

proposed $131.1 billion 

state budget won praise 

Monday from the nonpartisan 

legislative analyst, even 

as she warned that a deal the 

governor reached with 

teachers could increase debt 

in future years. 

The analysis came as 

Democratic lawmakers 

voiced concerns about some 

aspects of the spending plan 

for the fiscal year that 

begins July 1. Among other 

issues, they questioned the 

amount of money set aside 

for public transit and 

whether $400 million 

Schwarzenegger proposed 

for bird flu preparations 

might better be spent on 

welfare increases. 

Still, Democrats said a tax 

windfall estimated at $7.5 

billion has led to a budget 

plan that produced few significant 

differences between 

them and the governor. 

Assembly Speaker Fabian 

Nunez, D-Los Angeles, said 

he expects lawmakers to 

meet the frequently blown 

June 15 deadline for passing 

the budget. 

“Shame on us if it’s not 

on time,” he said during a 

Monday news conference. 

Schwarzenegger, who ran 

in the 2003 recall election 

on a platform of getting the 

state’s fiscal house in order, 

makes strides in cutting the 

deficit in the 2006-07 budget. 

At the same time, 

California’s debt related to 

budgetary borrowing would 

increase from $20 billion in 

the current year to $21.6 billion 

because of a deal 

reached last week between 

the governor and the state 

teachers union. 

The figure reflects the 

state’s long-term budget 

obligations, excluding infrastructure 

bonds. It is a separate 

figure from the state’s 

operating deficit, which the 

governor pegged next year 

at $2.5 billion. 

H.D. Palmer, spokesman 

for the governor’s finance 

department, acknowledged 

the seven-year, $2.9 billion 

deal for public school funding 

has increased the state’s 

debt load. But he said it was 

a cost the state knew it 

would have to pay sooner or 

later. Education groups had 

sued the governor over the 

funding cut. The teachers 

union has agreed to drop the 

lawsuit if the deal is 

approved by the Legislature. 

It’s also a separate obligation, 

he noted, from the revenue 

bond Schwarzenegger 

said would be paid off early, 

in 2009, if the Legislature 

approves his budget. 

Some critics have said the 

governor’s deal with teachers 

was an election-year 

maneuver aimed at buying 

off one of his most vocal 

critics. 

The governor’s office has 

countered that the time was 

right to make the deal 

because it took a risky lawsuit 

off the table and won’t 

cost Californians anything 

for two to three years. The 

administration has found a 

way to refinance income 

from tobacco lawsuits to 

raise at least $900 million, 

enough to pay the first two 

to three years of the education 

deal. 

Elizabeth Hill, the state’s 

nonpartisan legislative analyst, 

agreed on Monday that 

the tobacco financing plan 

should work. She also 

praised the governor’s proposed 

budget for carefully 

spending the projected $7.5 

billion tax windfall to repay 

debt, build reserves and for 

not expanding programs in 

ways that would burden the 

state with significantly larger 

deficits in future years. 

She also said the money 

from the education deal, 

along with the 40 percent of 

the tax windfall that 

Schwarzenegger has proposed 

spending on schools, 

has provided the state with 

an “historic opportunity” to 

boost classroom funding by 

about $10 billion. 

Hill cautioned, however, 

that the Legislature should 

resist spending the money 

the way both 

Schwarzenegger and education 

proponents have proposed. 

Lawmakers began 

hearings Monday on the 

governor’s proposed budget. 

Instead of directing the 

money to the state’s poorest 

schools, which could lead to 

ongoing funding increases, 

Hill said much of it should 

go to a one-time payoff of 

the state’s so-called “education 

credit card.” That refers 

to the nearly $3 billion 

California owes to districts 

for fulfilling past educational 

mandates.

“We’d like to see that 

taken care of as much as 

possible,” Hill said. 

Palmer said the governor’s 

office is largely on the 

same page with legislative 

analyst. 

“We agree on the big 

points,” he said. “This 

year’s revenue should be 

treated very carefully, and 

we should plow a bunch of it 

into paying down debt ahead 

of schedule. The differences 

are in how we go about 

achieving those goals. We 

look forward to working on 

that.” 

Nunez said he thought the 

governor’s budget went in 

the “right direction” but 

warned that the Democratcontrolled 

Legislature 

would not approve it wholesale. 

He said he did not 

approve of the governor’s 

plan to divert so-called 

“spillover” gas tax funds 

from bus, rail and other public 

transit projects to paying 

down transportation bonds. 

“That’s a no-go,” he said. 

The state’s projected tax 

revenue next year from rising 

gas prices has more than 

doubled since January to 

$670 million. The speaker 

said the governor’s plan 

shortchanged public transit 

projects after Democrats 

worked hard to get $4 billion 

in transit projects in one 

of the public works bonds 

that will be on the 

November ballot. 

“It almost seems like a 

backhanded way to say to 

us, ’You got some money in 

the bond for public transit ... 

and now it’s going to cost 

you,”’ Nunez said. “That 

was never part of the deal.” 

Nunez said he also wants 

to see the governor’s office 

justify its plan to spend $400 

million preparing for bird 

flu pandemic. 

“I know it’s maybe not 

politically correct for me to 

say, ’Why $400 million?’ 

But someone has to substantiate 

it,” he said. 

Hill said her analysis also 

found that the figure might 

be too high because the governor’s 

plan called for suspending 

competitive bidding 

rules to buy thousands of 

beds, flu vaccines and other 

supplies. She proposed 

reducing the appropriation 

by $132 million. 

“There’s room for some 

savings,” she said. 

Economic reports paint 

a mixed picture for Fed 

By JEANNINE AVERSA 

AP Economics Writer 

WASHINGTON -- Galloping energy prices, 

hotter industrial production and cooler housing 

activity are painting a mixed economic picture 

for Federal Reserve policymakers to ponder. 

The latest batch of economic reports 

released Tuesday underscored the difficult 

crosscurrents Fed policymakers must wade 

through in charting the course of interest rates. 

A Labor Department report showed wholesale 

prices jumped by 0.9 percent in April, the 

most in seven months. The main culprit behind 

the rise: soaring costs for gasoline and other 

energy products. 

Most other prices, though, were wellbehaved. 

“Core” prices -- excluding energy 

and food costs -- that are closely watched by 

the Fed edged up by just 0.1 percent for the 

second month in a row. That suggested the 

spike in energy prices hasn’t fed into price tags 

of lots of other products. 

Global competition is forcing some U.S. 

companies to absorb higher prices for energy 

and raw materials out of their profits rather 

than through boosting customers’ prices, said 

Kenneth Beauchemin, economist at Global 

Insight. 

For the 12 months ending in April, core 

prices were up 1.5 percent -- a much tamer 

showing than the 4 percent rise in wholesale 

prices overall over the same period. 

A Commerce Department report, meanwhile, 

provided further evidence that the housing 

market -- which racked up record-high 

sales for five years running -- is losing steam. 

The number of new housing projects 

builders launched in April dropped by 7.4 percent 

to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 

1.849 million units, the lowest level in 17 

months. 

A third report from the Federal Reserve 

showed industrial activity bounded ahead last 

month. Production at the nation’s factories, 

mines and utilities rose by 0.8 percent in April, 

the most since December. 

The report suggested that industrial activity 

was brisk even as producers have to cope with 

higher prices for energy and other raw materials. 

The Fed report also showed that the proportion 

of industrial capacity in use climbed in 

April to 81.9 percent, the highest since July 

2000. Economists look at this figure for clues 

about future inflation. 

For instance, if plants were running at full 

tilt and couldn’t crank out enough goods to sat-

isfy customers’ demands, that could drive 

prices up. For now the figure isn’t overly worrisome, 

but it bears close watching, analysts 

said. 

The trio of reports gave the Fed much to sort 

through. 

The wholesale price report suggested surging 

energy prices are not yet sparking broader 

inflation through the economy. The housing 

cooldown is expected to lead to slower overall 

economic activity, which would reduce inflation 

pressures. By themselves those two 

reports could make the Fed feel more comfortable 

about taking a break in its rate-raising 

campaign, analysts said. 

But the industrial production report, by 

itself, would hold the door open to another rate 

increase, analysts observed. 

“All these cross currents leave the Fed in a 

very difficult situation,” said Mark Zandi, 

chief economist at Moody’s Economy.com. 

The Fed boosted interest rates last week -the 

16th increase in two years -- but left 

options for future decisions wide open. 

Policymakers suggested another increase 

might be possible or they could take a pause in 

their rate-raising campaign -- depending upon 

how inflation and economic activity unfold. 

Economists have mixed opinions about 

what the Fed will do at its next meeting in late 

June. Some believe the tame reading on core 

inflation and the weak housing report bolstered 

the case for the Fed leaving rates alone at that 

time. Others, however, pointed to the industrial 

production report as making the case for 

another bump up in rates. 

The Fed will be keeping especially close 

tabs on how energy prices and the housing 

slowdown affect overall economic activity and 

inflation, analysts said. 

Oil prices hit a record high of $75.17 a barrel 

in late April; they are now hovering above 

$70 a barrel. Those high crude oil prices have 

helped propel prices at the gasoline pumps to 

$3 a gallon in some areas. 

The PPI report said energy prices surged by 

4 percent in April, up from a 1.8 percent rise in 

March. Gasoline prices last month jumped 

12.3 percent, the most since October 2004. 

Home heating oil costs shot up 13.7 percent, 

the biggest gain in six months. 

“It is heartening that, so far, the feared transmission 

effect from higher energy prices is not 

taking hold,” said Oscar Gonzalez, economist 

at John Hancock Financial Services. “There is 

no guarantee, though, that this will continue.”

DearAnnie: My daughter, “Tess,” has been in 

a five-month relationship with “Thad,” who lives 

in another city. They already have had at least 

three big fights where they’ve broken up and gotten 

back together. The most recent occurred last 

weekend. While having a heated argument, Thad 

broke her living room window. They ended up in 

a scuffle at the front door before he left. Needless 

to say, Tess was shocked to the core. She never 

expected anything like that from him. 

The problem is that Thad keeps calling her 

and apologizing. He’s told her that he bought a 

ring and is about to make the last payment, blah, 

blah, blah -- the same old song and dance. I know 

she’ll end up getting back with him. Tess was in 

a similar relationship with another man when she 

was 18, and they split up at least 20 times before 

it finally ended. She was left with twins. 

Tess’ father and I divorced when she was 6. 

She’s now 26, and I don’t want her to waste years 

on the same type of man. She tells me she has a 

real connection with Thad, but I believe her low 

self-esteem is getting in the way, and I think 

counseling might do her good. Any advice? -- 

Mom in Texas 

Dear Mom: Yes, but you may not be satisfied 

with it. Tess is an adult, and she’s going to have 

to make her own mistakes, no matter how costly. 

All you can do is be a source of support. 

Counseling might help, and you should recommend 

it, but Tess has to be willing to go. Perhaps 

if you present it as a way of learning why she 

falls into the same volatile relationships over and 

over, she may be receptive. Also keep the number 

of the National Domestic Violence Hotline 

handy (1-800-799-SAFE) (1-800-799-7233).

hang out all the time, but a new, snobbish girl is 

now at our school, and Kim has left me to fend 

for myself. 

The main thing that bothers me is that Kim 

and her new friend, “Leeza,” hang out all the 

time, and Leeza hates me. She picks on me and 

has said that she will try her best to make my life 

miserable. She isn’t succeeding, but what really 

hurts is that when she teases me, Kim backs her 

up. 

Kim is only friendly to me when Leeza isn’t 

around. I don’t get how she could hate my guts 

one day and be nice the next. We rarely talk now, 

and when I try to be friendly, like saying I like 

her shirt, she becomes a little snobbish, too. 

I don’t like Leeza, and I’m not so sure about 

Kim anymore. Every day we drift further and 

further apart. Should I just let this happen or try 

hard to stay friends? -- Clueless Eighth-Grader 

Dear Clueless: It’s time to move on. Kim may 

someday decide that she values you more than 

Leeza, but it will take a lot more maturity on her 

part. Get involved in other activities, in and out 

of school, where you can make new friends -- the 

genuine types who will stick with you through

Dear Annie: I saw the letter from “Not

her child’s ethnic background on registrations or

Jef Mallett had another solution in his comic 

strip, “Frazz.” A multiracial child complained to 

Frazz that he didn’t like the race question on a 

form because he resented the question and he 

was of mixed race. Frazz told the kid that when 

asked that question, he always put down 

“Callipygian.” 

I did that myself in an application to a government 

agency and I got the position. 

“Callipygian” means having a shapely bottom. --

TAURUS (April 20-May 

20) -- Stern methods in handling 

others will have an 

adverse effect upon your 

dealings with them. 

However, if you try consideration 

and patience, wondrous 

results will be produced. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 

20) -- Do not be reluctant to 

accept a social invitation 

with someone who isn’t in 

the thick of things. What 

you anticipate to be dull or 

boring could turn out to be 

anything but. 

CANCER (June 21-July 

22) -- If you’re looking to 

others to cover for you and 

take care of your obligations, 

you’re going to be disappointed. 

Stand tall on your 

own two feet, and your day 

will turn out successful. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - 

- If possible, try not to get 

involved with negative companions. 

Or if you can’t, 

lose them as fast as possible. 

Their outlook and thinking 

will have a disturbing influence 

on your own attitude.

“I have Hispanic friends, I 

have Hispanic clients, and I 

respect and adore them all and

Tuesday apologizing for the 

mistake. 

Montoya, on Tuesday -- his 

158th day as principal -- said 

this is the first time since he’s 

been at the high school that 

this kind of an issue has been 

brought to his attention. 

A family survey is sent 

home to parents, and information 

from the survey is input 

into the School 

Administration Student 

Information System, but 

“sometimes human errors are 

made,” he said, adding, when 

they are, “we fix them.”

Nuestra Casa Director 

Vicki Patterson, whose career 

in education spans more than 

25 years, has seen similar mistakes.
