Potter Valley superintendent/elementary principal hired<br />
Barr<br />
By LAURA CLARK<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Daily</strong> <strong>Journal</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong>re will be a new man on<br />
the Potter Valley Elementary<br />
School campus come May 15.<br />
That is, when Gary Barr is not<br />
working at the district office<br />
about an eighth of a mile down<br />
the road.<br />
Barr, <strong>for</strong>merly of Sonoma<br />
County, has been hired as the<br />
new Potter Valley Community<br />
Unified School District superin-<br />
By BEN BROWN<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Daily</strong> <strong>Journal</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> phrase “to protect and serve” will<br />
take on a new meaning at <strong>The</strong> Broiler in<br />
Redwood Valley Saturday, where members<br />
of county law en<strong>for</strong>cement will raise money<br />
<strong>for</strong> athletes participating in the Mendocino<br />
County Inland Special Olympics as part of<br />
the Tip-a-Cop fund-raiser.<br />
Between 5 and 8 p.m., eight to 10 officers<br />
from the <strong>Ukiah</strong> Police Department, the<br />
Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office and the<br />
parole office will serve drinks, deliver food<br />
and fill water glasses <strong>for</strong> restaurant customers.<br />
“We do a little bit of everything,” said<br />
tendent and the elementary<br />
school principal.<br />
Lucky thing he likes children.<br />
“I like working with kids,<br />
family and teachers ... the whole<br />
education community,” Barr said<br />
Tuesday, when asked why he<br />
chose a career in education more<br />
than 30 years ago.<br />
Barr worked in the public<br />
school system in Sonoma<br />
County <strong>for</strong> about 25 years as,<br />
among other things, a superin-<br />
Tip-a-Cop<br />
tendent, teacher, principal and<br />
special projects director. <strong>The</strong>n he<br />
moved to Romania, where he<br />
spent nine years as the principal/director<br />
of an elementary<br />
section of an international baccalaureate<br />
private school.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se days, Barr says Potter<br />
Valley sounds like a good fit.<br />
“I came back from Romania<br />
to take care of my mother, who is<br />
not well, then I went out looking<br />
<strong>for</strong> a job. I was looking <strong>for</strong> a<br />
small, rural district, and Potter<br />
Valley came up and it looked like<br />
a nice fit with me, so here I am,”<br />
he said.<br />
“I am excited to get started; I<br />
have been away from kids <strong>for</strong><br />
almost a year and I am excited to<br />
get back to school with kids and<br />
families,” Barr said.<br />
Asked his plans once he gets<br />
there, he said: “I need to get to<br />
know the community and work<br />
with them ... and just take the<br />

Mendocino County’s “miracle March” continued into April,<br />
according to the latest snow depth reports, which put snow<br />
depth and water content at almost twice the average measurements.<br />
Surveys taken April 28 at the Plaskett Meadows snow course<br />
in the Mendocino County National Forest by Fred Burrows and<br />
Jordan Saylor of the Covelo Ranger District measured the snow<br />
pack at 94 inches with a water content of 40 inches.<br />

Mendocino County Sheriff’s Capt. Kurt<br />
Smallcomb.<br />
Those who eat at <strong>The</strong> Broiler on Saturday<br />
can leave tips <strong>for</strong> the police who serve their<br />
tables. Often restaurant staff will offer to<br />
split their night’s tips with police or simply<br />
donate the whole amount, Smallcomb said.<br />
This is the seventh year county law<br />
en<strong>for</strong>cement has been involved with the program<br />
and the fifth year officers have worked<br />
with <strong>The</strong> Broiler. Previously the event was<br />
held at the Crushed Grape in Hopland.<br />
Smallcomb said the event usually draws<br />
as many as 200 people, and police generally<br />
make between $2,500 and $3,000 <strong>for</strong> charity<br />
during their three-hour shift.<br />
“It gets bigger and bigger <strong>for</strong> them every<br />
year,” said Shirley Dietrick, general manager<br />
at <strong>The</strong> Broiler<br />
“People here are really giving,”<br />
Smallcomb said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> money stays within the county and<br />
goes to support athletes in the Special<br />
Olympics in bowling and softball.<br />
Smallcomb said at one time the department<br />
supported seven different sports, but has<br />
scaled back in recent years.<br />

in the Special Olympics in the inland<br />

Robert Faust.<br />
<strong>The</strong> average snow depth <strong>for</strong> April is 54 inches with a water<br />
content of 23 inches. Last year at this time snow depth was 80<br />
inches.<br />
“Usually snow depth and water content decreases during<br />
April; but during the last two years we have had bountiful precipitation,”<br />
Faust said. “This is the second consecutive wet year<br />
and probably the reason why our hillsides are sliding and causing<br />
road-bed failures.”<br />

Warnings of local police<br />
go unheeded by state<br />
By BEN BROWN<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Daily</strong> <strong>Journal</strong><br />
A sex offender described as “high risk”<br />
and “likely to re-offend” by the Cali<strong>for</strong>nia<br />
Department of Corrections<br />
and Rehabilitation,<br />
Department of<br />
Youth Authority, has<br />
been released on parole<br />
in <strong>Ukiah</strong> over the<br />
objections of the <strong>Ukiah</strong><br />
Police Department.<br />
Jacob Michael Parmely,<br />
20, was placed in<br />
temporary housing in<br />
<strong>Ukiah</strong> on May 3. Local<br />
and State of Cali<strong>for</strong>nia<br />
records describe Parmely<br />
as a “sophisticat-<br />
See BARR, Page 16<br />
Parmely<br />
ed child predator,” and he is expected to<br />
“remain a significant danger to the community.”<br />
Officers at UPD objected to his placement<br />
in the city because Parmely’s victims<br />
and some of the witnesses from his<br />
trial still reside in or visit <strong>Ukiah</strong>.<br />
Police investigators were advised that a<br />
ranking supervisor at the Department of<br />
Youth Authority directed that Parmely be<br />
located in <strong>Ukiah</strong> despite the objections of<br />
local authorities, according to a UPD<br />
press release.<br />
Officials at UPD note that, despite the<br />
fact that extensive treatment and rehabilitation<br />
programs are available in<br />
Sacramento, the decision was made to<br />
release Parmely in <strong>Ukiah</strong>.<br />
As a condition of his parole, Parmely is<br />
not allowed to have contact with anyone<br />

County snow pack nearly twice average measurement<br />
Snow depth and water content have been steadily climbing<br />
since the first measurements were taken in January that recorded<br />
snow depth at 36 inches and water content at 12 inches, both<br />
significantly below average.<br />
At the time, Faust said measurements taken in April would<br />
be a better indicator of how the county’s water-table would fare<br />
this summer.<br />
Measurements taken in February were also below average, but<br />
on March 2 the snow started to fall in the mountains and continued<br />
almost daily, increasing 50 inches in a month, Faust said.<br />

Man completes cross-country hike<br />
Associated Press<br />
NEW YORK — Steve Vaught didn’t count<br />
each mile he walked or weigh himself every<br />
day along the way. And as he completed the<br />
final leg of his trek across America, he said<br />
making it to New York City from Cali<strong>for</strong>nia on<br />
foot was only part of his story.<br />
“I’m glad that I’m here, but <strong>for</strong> me it’s never<br />
been about the destination,” he said as he<br />
crossed the George Washington Bridge from<br />
New Jersey to Manhattan more than a year<br />
after he began the trip to lose weight and find<br />
happiness. “It’s been about the journey.”<br />
Vaught, 40, began the roughly 3,000-mile<br />
trek from his Oceanside, Calif., home to<br />
Manhattan on April 10, 2005, when he was 410<br />
pounds and suffering from severe depression<br />
after he accidentally killed two elderly pedestrians<br />
while driving 15 years ago.<br />
He ended the journey Tuesday about 100<br />
pounds lighter.<br />
Along the way, Vaught slept in tents and<br />
motels and went through 15 pairs of shoes,<br />
more than 30 pairs of socks and six backpacks.<br />
But he didn’t travel with a pedometer or mea-<br />

sure the food he ate, and he said he aimed to<br />
change his behavior — not just his weight.<br />
“This is not about obsessing about numbers,<br />
or times, or dates, or miles,” he said. “It’s just<br />
about going on a walk and sort of having time<br />
to get things straight.”<br />
Vaught’s path wasn’t a straight one. He<br />
spent a week at a Texas hotel, where he went<br />
off antidepressants, and he returned to<br />
Cali<strong>for</strong>nia <strong>for</strong> Christmas and then to work out<br />
with a personal trainer.<br />
Vaught chronicled his progress on a Web<br />
site, thefatmanwalking.com, which lists the<br />
names of dozens of supporters in 26 states. He<br />
has a book deal, and his trip attracted the attention<br />
of documentary filmmakers.<br />
As Vaught began walking the span from<br />

bicyclist yelled, “Hey, that’s the walking<br />

Iranians: U.S. hasty<br />
in brushoff of Iran<br />
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Secretary of State<br />
Condoleezza Rice’s abrupt dismissal of a letter<br />
from Iran’s president might only strengthen<br />
hardline attitudes and mistrust of America,<br />
some Iranians warned Tuesday.<br />
As President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad<br />
began a high-profile visit to a key Muslim<br />
country, Indonesia, a <strong>for</strong>mer top Iranian official<br />
said Rice’s response will give new justification<br />
to those who oppose ties with the<br />
U.S.<br />
Iran’s <strong>for</strong>mer ambassador to France, Sadeq<br />
Kharrazi, said the letter — the first from an<br />
Iranian head of state to an American president<br />
in 27 years — “could have been a turning<br />
point in relations.” But he said Rice squandered<br />
the opportunity with what he called a<br />
“hasty reaction.”<br />
“This gives a pretext to those in Iran who<br />
oppose re-establishment of ties with<br />
America,” he said.<br />
Ahmadinejad’s 18-page letter to President<br />
Bush touched only indirectly on the hottest<br />
dispute between the two countries — Iran’s<br />
nuclear program. Instead, it focuses on a long<br />
list of grievances against the United States<br />
and seeks to build on a shared faith in God to<br />
resolve them.<br />
Suicide truck bomber<br />
kills 17 in Iraq<br />
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — A suicide truck<br />
bomber attacked a crowded market in Tal<br />
Afar late Tuesday, killing at least 17 people<br />
and wounding 35 in a city cited by President<br />
Bush as a success story in battling insurgents.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bombing occurred after incoming<br />
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said he had<br />
almost finished assembling a Cabinet, the<br />
final step in establishing a national unity government.<br />
U.S. officials had predicted insurgents<br />
would step up attacks to try to block the<br />
new administration.<br />
U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad said<br />
al-Maliki would soon launch a four-part plan<br />
to restore order by securing Baghdad, Basra<br />
and eight other cities, promoting reconciliation,<br />
building public confidence in the police<br />
and army and disbanding sectarian militias.<br />
<strong>The</strong> truck bomber struck about 8:30 p.m.<br />
as shoppers in Tal Afar were scurrying to finish<br />
their purchases be<strong>for</strong>e closing, according<br />
to police Col. Abdul-Karim Mohammed, who<br />
gave the casualty figures.<br />
<strong>The</strong> director of the city hospital, Saleh<br />
Qado, said 20 people were killed and 70<br />
wounded, and that U.S. Army medics provided<br />
emergency treatment at the scene be<strong>for</strong>e<br />
loading the injured into ambulances.<br />
Rumsfeld defends choice<br />
of Hayden <strong>for</strong> CIA<br />
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense<br />
Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Tuesday<br />
that in light of prewar intelligence failures in<br />
Iraq, U.S. officials must be extra careful in<br />
evaluating intelligence about Iran’s nuclear<br />
program.<br />
At a Pentagon news conference, Rumsfeld<br />
was asked how confident the American people<br />
should be in the reliability of the intelli-<br />

business. It’s a difficult thing to be right all<br />
the time. And the in<strong>for</strong>mation was not correct.<br />
Does that give one pause? You bet.”<br />
When publicly discussing the reliability of<br />
U.S. <strong>for</strong>eign intelligence, Rumsfeld often<br />
notes the risk of mistakes and gaps, particularly<br />
regarding in<strong>for</strong>mation on countries like<br />
Iran and North Korea that the Bush administration<br />
considers rogue nations. But he had<br />
not previously indicated that the Iraq failures<br />
give him pause on Iran.<br />
GOP <strong>for</strong>ges deal<br />
on investor tax cuts<br />
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans in<br />
Congress reached agreement Tuesday on a<br />
$70 billion measure to extend tax breaks <strong>for</strong><br />
investors and prevent more middle-income<br />
families from being hit by a tax aimed at the<br />
wealthy.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bill would hand President Bush one of<br />
his top tax priorities, a two-year extension of<br />
the reduced 15 percent tax rate <strong>for</strong> capital<br />
gains and dividends, currently set to expire at<br />
the end of 2008. Republicans credit the tax<br />
cuts, enacted in 2003, with boosting economic<br />
growth and creating many jobs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> measure also would keep 15 million<br />
families from being hit this year with the<br />
alternative minimum tax, which was<br />
designed to make sure the wealthy paid taxes<br />
but is ensnaring more and more middleincome<br />
families because it is not indexed <strong>for</strong><br />
inflation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> accord paves the way <strong>for</strong> House<br />
approval of the measure as early as<br />
Wednesday. <strong>The</strong> Senate could clear the bill<br />
<strong>for</strong> Bush’s desk by week’s end.<br />
“This is a responsible bill that protects<br />
families and small business owners from tax<br />
increases, while also providing investors with<br />
a bigger window of certainty — critical to<br />
continued economic growth,” said Ways and<br />
Means Committee Chairman Bill Thomas, R-<br />
Calif.<br />
U.S., allies agree<br />
to Palestinian aid<br />
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — <strong>The</strong> United<br />
States bowed to pressure from its allies on<br />
Tuesday and agreed to support a new program<br />
to temporarily funnel additional humanitarian<br />
aid directly to the Palestinian people.<br />
A statement by Mideast peacemakers,<br />
issued after a day of closed-door diplomatic<br />
meetings, did not suggest precisely how<br />
much or what kind of aid they would provide.<br />
But the agreement seemed to underscore a<br />
concern that months of withholding most aid<br />
from the Palestinians, part of an ef<strong>for</strong>t to<br />
pressure the new Hamas-led government<br />
toward a more accommodating stance with<br />
Israel, was harming the Palestinian people.<br />

Once-flat beer sales are<br />
beginning to bubble back<br />
By LIBBY QUAID<br />
AP Food and Farm Writer<br />
CHICAGO -- Beer sales had<br />
gone flat, while wine was flying<br />
off the shelves.<br />
So beer makers decided to<br />
steal a page from wine’s marketing<br />
manual and create new<br />
packaging, flavors and drinks.<br />
Now beer is coming back.<br />
<strong>The</strong> major brewers “blended,<br />
became the same,” says Nick<br />
Lake, beer expert at<br />
ACNielsen, the marketing<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation company.<br />
“If they didn’t have the<br />
brand in some ads -- a<br />
Budweiser ad, a Miller Lite ad,<br />
a Coors ad -- if they didn’t<br />
have the can in it, it could be<br />
any one of the three,” said<br />
Lake, the company’s vice president<br />
of new business development.<br />
Now, brewers are pitching<br />
their beer as cooler, classier<br />
and healthier, trying to do <strong>for</strong><br />
their beverage what Starbucks<br />
has done <strong>for</strong> coffee.<br />
<strong>The</strong> result is that people are<br />
finally buying more beer.<br />
From fruity malt drinks to<br />
organic pale ale and lager, new<br />
beer products are on display<br />
this week in Chicago at the<br />
Food Marketing Institute Show,<br />
the supermarket industry’s<br />
annual trade show.<br />
Beer is still the drink of<br />
choice <strong>for</strong> at least half the people<br />
who drink alcohol in the<br />
United States, but wine and<br />
spirits have been enticing<br />
drinkers in ever-growing numbers.<br />
A Gallup survey last year<br />
found that as many Americans<br />
pick wine as their drink of<br />
choice as pick beer. <strong>The</strong> wine<br />
industry has jockeyed <strong>for</strong> attention<br />
with cute critters on the<br />
label, easy-open screwcaps and<br />
cans and party-friendly boxes.<br />
Basically, wine seemed to<br />
have gotten more fun. So beer<br />
companies started thinking<br />
about how to do more with<br />
their brews. And, in some<br />
instances, they joined <strong>for</strong>ces.<br />
“We can all compete, but<br />
then we can all be friends when<br />
it comes to beer versus a<br />
cosmo or a merlot,” said Bill<br />
Laufer, spokesman <strong>for</strong><br />
Anheuser-Bush Cos. Inc.<br />
For beer, new packaging<br />
includes Heineken’s keg can<br />
<strong>for</strong> the fridge, which gives peo-<br />
BUSINESS BY THE BLOCK<br />
ple draft beer at home. Coors<br />
sells a cooler box with 18ounce<br />
plastic bottles that is<br />
ready to be filled with ice and<br />
taken to the beach or a barbecue.<br />
And Budweiser comes in<br />
new sturdy aluminum bottles<br />
that are like a cross between a<br />
can and a glass bottle.<br />
Beyond packaging is flavor.<br />
For Anheuser-Busch, maker of<br />
Budweiser, that means Bud<br />
Select, a light beer with a more<br />
robust taste. Bud Select has<br />
been the best-selling new beer<br />
brand, Lake said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> biggest sales potential is<br />
in so-called “craft” beers and<br />
imports, ACNielsen says.<br />
Anheuser-Busch recently<br />
signed a deal to distribute<br />
imports including Grolsch and<br />
Harbin. Miller’s parent,<br />
SABMiller PLC, also sells<br />
Pilsener Urquell.<br />
Recently, the St. Louis-based<br />
beer giant has rolled out several<br />
new products, including two<br />
micro-brew styles, Stone Mill<br />
Pale Ale and Wild Hop Lager,<br />
that are certified organic.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’ve also created a new<br />
malt beverage, Peels, made<br />
with all-natural fruit. That’s on<br />
top of Anheuser-Busch’s B-tothe-E<br />
and Tilt, which have<br />
sweet flavors, caffeine, ginseng<br />
and guarana, a Brazilian stimulant.<br />
Healthy products are important<br />
to consumers, which is<br />
another aspect of wine’s<br />
appeal, Lake said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> wine category, in particular<br />
red wine, has done a<br />
masterful job of selling the<br />
health benefits of red wine,”<br />
Lake said. “Who hasn’t heard<br />
that story? And the reality of it<br />
is, you get the same health benefits<br />
from beer as you do from<br />
red wine.”<br />
Riding into the sunset: Transportation of the future<br />
What will the transportation<br />
of the future look like? Will it<br />
consist of Jetsons style flying<br />
cars that fold into briefcases,<br />
will it be essentially the same as<br />
it is today, or will it hearken<br />
back to a simpler time? While<br />
there is no crystal ball that can<br />
show exactly what lies ahead,<br />
recognition of current trends<br />
provides clues. With fuel prices<br />
at record highs and showing no<br />
signs of ever decreasing it’s<br />
time to start looking at truly<br />
efficient personal transportation.<br />
While hybrids and efficient<br />
diesels are better than the<br />
traditional American gas-guzzlers,<br />
they pale in comparison<br />
to the most efficient <strong>for</strong>m of<br />
personal transportation, the reliable<br />
bicycle.<br />
In an internal combustion<br />
vehicle very little of the energy<br />
consumed actually goes to<br />
move the occupant. Some is lost<br />
as heat from the engine and<br />
more from the engine to the<br />
transmission. Not to mention<br />
the fact that enough power is<br />
required to move a vehicle that<br />
weighs several thousand<br />
pounds. All of this energy is<br />
expended to move a passenger,<br />
weighing at the most a couple<br />
of hundred pounds. A bicycle<br />
transfers almost all of the energy<br />
supplied by the rider into<br />
<strong>for</strong>ward momentum, and the<br />
GULP Focus on . . .<br />
By Clif<strong>for</strong>d Paulin<br />
weight of the vehicle pales in<br />
comparison to that of the passenger.<br />
In addition, drag created<br />
by air turbulence increases<br />
exponentially with speed, thus<br />
the slower speed of a bike has<br />
much less drag to overcome,<br />
further increasing efficiency.<br />
Bicycles are a primary <strong>for</strong>m<br />
of transportation <strong>for</strong> a majority<br />
of the human population. Many<br />
environmentalists correctly<br />
point out the environmental disaster<br />
that would ensue if a<br />
majority of the Chinese who<br />
currently rely upon bicycle<br />
transport were to switch to<br />
automobiles. What is often<br />
overlooked is the massive benefit<br />
that would result if the<br />
majority of Americans currently<br />
addicted to their automobiles<br />
were to make the switch to<br />
bicycles. In areas that have<br />
already experienced major<br />
reductions in available energy,<br />
such as Cuba, the bicycle has<br />
once again become a critical<br />
element in the transport of<br />
goods and people.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Ukiah</strong> Valley is particularly<br />
well suited to bicycle commuting.<br />
As noted in the City of<br />
<strong>Ukiah</strong> Bicycle and Pedestrian<br />
Master Plan of 1999, 36 percent<br />
of all <strong>Ukiah</strong> Employees live<br />
within a ten-minute ride of their<br />
workplaces. <strong>The</strong> relatively<br />
small size and flat topography<br />
of the city make mass commuting<br />
by bike a viable prospect.<br />
In addition to the energy saving<br />
benefits of bicycle transportation,<br />
increased ridership<br />
also provides health benefits <strong>for</strong><br />
riders and quality of life<br />
enhancements <strong>for</strong> all. Riding is<br />
one of the best aerobic activities<br />
one can undertake and has none<br />
of the impact on joints and<br />
bones associated with running,<br />
as long as you don’t fall that is!<br />
<strong>The</strong> general community benefits<br />
from increased bicycle commuting<br />
through a reduction in<br />
vehicle noise, reduced air pollution,<br />
and a decrease in traffic,<br />
which reduces the need <strong>for</strong><br />
more roads, leaving that space<br />
available <strong>for</strong> open and agricultural<br />
uses.<br />
In an ef<strong>for</strong>t to increase<br />
awareness of the value of<br />
cycling the Greater <strong>Ukiah</strong><br />
Localization Project (GULP)<br />
has undertaken several ef<strong>for</strong>ts.<br />
GULP along with the City of<br />
<strong>Ukiah</strong> will be promoting Peddle<br />
to the Park, an event designed<br />
to encourage people to ride<br />
their bikes to the Concert in the<br />
Park events. <strong>The</strong> hope is to provide<br />
“Valet” parking <strong>for</strong> bicycles<br />
at the events and have a<br />
bike parade wind from Alex<br />
Thomas Plaza to Todd Grove<br />
Park. In addition, GULP is<br />
actively engaged with the 2006<br />
update of the Mendocino<br />
County Regional Bikeway Plan.<br />

not largesse on the part of the company. Fetzer,<br />

facility closure and resultant layoffs.<br />
Kelli Kennedy wrote an interesting piece<br />
about development <strong>for</strong> the Associated Press<br />
recently. Here are some of the ideas she found in<br />
Central Florida.<br />
“ORLANDO, Fla. -- Leaders in burgeoning<br />
central Florida are crossing municipal lines to<br />
prevent what they see down the road: sprawl,<br />
overcrowded schools, traffic congestion, a shortage<br />
of af<strong>for</strong>dable housing and few recreational<br />
areas.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir answer, still in the works, is a growth<br />
blueprint <strong>for</strong> the next 50 years, with the hope<br />
that the area’s seven counties and 86 cities will<br />
follow its pattern.<br />
It is the nation’s latest metropolitan area to<br />
bring together a host of different governments -each<br />
with their own concerns -- to work toward<br />
one goal: manageable growth.<br />
If central Florida continues to grow without<br />
regional planning, residents can expect more air<br />
pollution, a dwindling water supply, more<br />
bumper-to-bumper traffic and less access to natural<br />
recreation areas, according to a University<br />
of Pennsylvania study on the region. Its population<br />
is expected to double to 7 million by 2050.<br />
Community leaders <strong>for</strong> the $850,000, statefunded<br />
project -- “How Shall We Grow?” -haven’t<br />
decided how to implement the plan,<br />
expected to be ready in May 2007. <strong>The</strong>y could<br />
rely on en<strong>for</strong>ced legislation, like Portland, Ore.,<br />
or voluntary implementation, like Salt Lake<br />
City.<br />
Several other regions have replicated Utah’s<br />
model, including Baltimore; Austin, Texas; and<br />
Sacramento, Calif.<br />
Like the other regions, central Florida will<br />
have to find a way to balance urban and rural<br />
needs.”<br />
Can you imagine trying to get Sonoma,<br />
Mendocino, Lake, Humboldt and say Del Norte<br />
and/or Marin counties to agree to a development<br />
plan?<br />
<strong>The</strong> Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Association of Employers, a<br />
statewide organization specializing in human<br />
resources and employer/employee relations<br />
issues, sent out a press release following the<br />
May 1 demonstrations by and <strong>for</strong> illegal immigrants<br />
that 96 percent of businesses reported it<br />
was ‘business as usual” regarding the impact of<br />
the “A Day Without an Immigrant” boycotts in<br />
Cali<strong>for</strong>nia. <strong>The</strong> organization distributed a survey<br />
to its nearly 500 member-businesses (small and<br />
medium-sized) throughout the state and asked<br />
them to offer insight into the ways they were<br />
affected (or not affected) by the boycott and how<br />
they handled employees participating in the<br />
events.<br />
According to them, although immigrants and<br />
their supporters were encouraged by protest<br />
organizers to take to the streets en masse, boycotting<br />
work and school and avoiding shopping<br />
to show support <strong>for</strong> immigrants and their contributions<br />
to the state, 97 percent of businesses that<br />
responded to CAE said they do not believe that<br />
the immigration boycott caused a hardship to<br />
their business. Ninety-four percent of businesses<br />
reported that less than 10 percent of their<br />
employees did not report to work due to the boycotts,<br />
according to CAE's survey results.<br />

Web site at www.employers.org.<br />

Editor’s note: When you’re driving, biking or walking around in downtown <strong>Ukiah</strong> 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<br />
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<br />
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<br />
we’re done, we’ll just have to start over. We hope you’ll enjoy discovering what’s out there.<br />

Golden Gate Transit the<br />
answer <strong>for</strong> local economy<br />
To the Editor:<br />
Millions of young people ride commuter<br />
trains everyday in America. <strong>The</strong><br />
Bay area has one of the best commuter<br />
train systems in the world and thousands<br />
of young people use it on a daily basis.<br />
Having commuter trains link <strong>Ukiah</strong> to<br />
San Francisco would be one of the greatest<br />
public works projects in Mendocino<br />
County history.<br />
Today we are stuck with a bus system<br />
that is confusing to utilize. <strong>The</strong> routes<br />
don’t make much sense and it is difficult<br />
to tell which bus is going in which direction.<br />
<strong>The</strong> route to Santa Rosa is not convenient<br />
<strong>for</strong> those of us that have medical<br />
appointments, or simply want to do some<br />
shopping. Forget it if you are trying to<br />
attend Santa Rosa Junior College or<br />
Sonoma State University. Once you get<br />
to Santa Rosa, you have a window of<br />
four hours be<strong>for</strong>e the bus leaves to come<br />
back. If what you are doing takes longer,<br />
you have to spend the night. A one way<br />
trip on the CC Rider costs as much a it<br />
does to drive to Santa Rosa and back.<br />
Seeing that <strong>Ukiah</strong> is a member of <strong>The</strong><br />
Golden Gate Bridge Highway and<br />
Transit District, wouldn’t it make sense<br />
to have Golden Gate Transit buses<br />
extend their run to <strong>Ukiah</strong>?<br />
Having an early morning bus that<br />
leaves here and that gets to San<br />
Francisco be<strong>for</strong>e 9 a.m. would be a great<br />
help, and would lighten traffic congestion.<br />
Extending the length of an already<br />
existing run that leaves San Francisco<br />
after 5 p.m. would also lessen traffic.<br />
Golden Gate Transit currently ends their<br />
runs in Santa Rosa. Extending their services<br />
to <strong>Ukiah</strong> would finally allow us to<br />
be an active member of a District we<br />
helped found almost 70 years ago. We<br />
have a publicly appointed (by the Board<br />
of Supervisors) official on the District<br />
Board, Jim Eddie. When was the last<br />
time you heard about what our representative<br />
is doing <strong>for</strong> us? And exactly what<br />
benefits have we received <strong>for</strong> being apart<br />
of the District?<br />
If a bus route to and from San<br />
Francisco were available, people that<br />
live here and work in the Bay area would<br />
be able to take the bus instead of driving.<br />
This would help save commuters money,<br />
and keep cars off 101, which would<br />
lower the need <strong>for</strong> road repairs and help<br />
lessen air pollution.<br />
I would love to be able to go shopping<br />
<strong>for</strong> things available locally. I would also<br />
love to go to museums, theatrical productions,<br />
and even attend a university,<br />
while being able to live in the community<br />
where I was born. We are <strong>for</strong>ever<br />
linked to the Bay area and we can greatly<br />
benefit because of it. This type of bus<br />
service would open up a whole new<br />
world to the people of <strong>Ukiah</strong>. And no,<br />
we would not have to lose our small<br />
town identity.<br />
Such a route would also allow people<br />
from the Bay area to visit here on day<br />
trips, just as people did 100 years ago<br />
when passenger trains were running. We<br />
could increase the number of people that<br />
visit <strong>Ukiah</strong>. Having a bus, and eventually<br />
trains, that link us to the Bay area<br />
would also expand our ability to advertise<br />
local events, such as plays and sporting<br />
events. We would be able to regain<br />
something that we lost when the trains<br />
stopped running in the 1940s. People<br />
from the Bay area would be able to get a<br />
taste of country life without having to<br />
move here. We would also increase our<br />
tax base, which would help pay <strong>for</strong> public<br />
safety.<br />
It is true that Greyhound goes to San<br />
Francisco, but their buses only leave<br />
here twice a day, one of which is in the<br />
middle of the night. It also costs around<br />
$20 one way, and we could negotiate a<br />
much lower fare with Golden Gate<br />
Transit.<br />
And <strong>for</strong>get about Amtrak. <strong>The</strong>ir buses<br />
only connect costumers to Amtrak trains,<br />
not to other transit systems. On the East<br />
Coast, Amtrak is one of the largest commuter<br />
systems, but here in the West,<br />
Amtrak is mainly used by people traveling<br />
to the Center Valley and Southern<br />
Cali<strong>for</strong>nia. Amtrak is not a public transit<br />
system.<br />
It is time to get serious about how our<br />
public transit serves us and make sure<br />
that it is working at its best. We deserve<br />
a public transit system that meets our<br />
needs, is not confusing, and that links us<br />
to our neighboring counties and San<br />
Francisco. Our transit system has a long<br />
way in meeting the needs of the people<br />
of <strong>Ukiah</strong>. A Transit Center would go a<br />
long way in helping us join the 21 st<br />
Century and rejoin our neighbors to the<br />
south. Having better service to San<br />
Francisco would be an even greater<br />
improvement.<br />

On student aid and drug convictions<br />
Federal education policy<br />
has denied nearly 200,000 college-bound<br />
students federal<br />
financial aid because they had<br />
prior drug convictions.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Clinton-era law that<br />

requires students to acknowledge<br />
whether they have ever<br />
been convicted of possession<br />
or selling illegal drugs.<br />

drug convictions. <strong>The</strong>y can be<br />

possession with penalties<br />

fifths of the nation's tax returns<br />
to arrive electronically by next<br />
year, ought to prod the IRS to<br />
make arrangements.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 80 percent target<br />
makes sense. Just as with other<br />
transactions, from paying bills<br />
to payroll deposits, electronic<br />
channels would make filing<br />
returns faster and more efficient.<br />
Americans have already<br />
shown a strong preference <strong>for</strong><br />
electronic tax returns. Private<br />
companies offer software<br />
packages that accomplish the<br />
task, and U.S. taxpayers have<br />
been snapping them up like<br />
prized toys in the holiday season.<br />
Using tax software can get<br />
pricey, however. Once you<br />
complete your return, there<br />
may be another fee to file it.<br />
And perhaps another charge to<br />
handle a refund.<br />
Some in Congress and the<br />
Bush administration resist<br />
ef<strong>for</strong>ts to modernize the IRS<br />
so it can accept individuals'<br />
electronic filings. <strong>The</strong>y don't<br />
want the federal government<br />
competing with the private<br />
sector. ...<br />
Tax returns are the domain<br />
of the federal government, and<br />
it's the government's responsibility<br />
to streamline its operations<br />
so they are as efficient as<br />
possible. ...<br />

American press<br />
accused of espionage<br />
<strong>The</strong> CIA’s firing of senior career officer Mary<br />
McCarthy is a prelude to a much bigger story -- the<br />
White House’s intensifying war on those parts of the<br />
American press it accuses of aiding the enemy.<br />
Testifying be<strong>for</strong>e the Senate Intelligence Committee in<br />
February, CIA Director Porter Goss expressed his<br />
ardent hope that “we will witness a grand-jury investigation<br />
-- with reporters present being asked to reveal<br />
who is leaking” in<strong>for</strong>mation about CIA’s classified<br />
material.<br />
<strong>The</strong> charge against McCarthy, which she denies, is<br />
that she was a source of highly classified in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
<strong>for</strong> Dana Priest’s Washington Post report on CIA secret<br />
prisons in Eastern Europe. Priest, a 2006 winner of a<br />
Pulitzer award <strong>for</strong> the story, has been writing about the<br />
CIA’s “black sites” since late 2002; and Pat Roberts,<br />
chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, continually<br />
refuses to authorize an investigation of the<br />
CIA’s violations of American and international laws in<br />
its prisons wholly hidden from our rule of law.<br />
Priest is already subject to a Justice Department<br />
investigation, as are New York Times reporters James<br />
Risen and Eric Lichtblau <strong>for</strong> their disclosure of the<br />
president’s secret approval of the National Security<br />
Agency’s warrantless surveillance of Americans.<br />
(Those reporters have also received Pulitzers this year,<br />
despite the president’s characterization of their reporting<br />
as “shameful.”)<br />
<strong>The</strong> administration’s position has been clearly stated<br />
by FBI spokesman Bill Carter (Washington Post,<br />
April 19): “Under the law, no private person (including<br />
journalists) may possess classified documents that<br />
were illegally provided to them. <strong>The</strong>se documents<br />
remain the property of the government.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> law Carter cited is this administration’s expansion<br />
of the Espionage Act of 1917, which is now<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e the courts in a case that can greatly diminish the<br />
First Amendment rights of the press -- and the right of<br />
Americans to receive in<strong>for</strong>mation about such lawless<br />
government practices as the CIA’s secret interrogation<br />
centers and the president’s violation of the Foreign<br />
Intelligence Surveillance Act in unleashing the<br />
National Security Agency.<br />
This espionage case -- United States of America v.<br />
Lawrence Anthony Franklin, Steven J. Rosen, Keith<br />
Weissman -- is the first in which the federal government<br />
is charging violations of the Espionage Act by<br />
American citizens -- who are not government officials<br />
-- <strong>for</strong> being involved in what until now have been<br />
regarded as First Amendment-protected activities<br />
engaged in by hundreds of American journalists.<br />
Rosen and Weissman, <strong>for</strong>mer staff members of the<br />
American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) -who<br />
have since been fired -- are accused of receiving<br />
classified in<strong>for</strong>mation from Defense Department analyst<br />
Franklin regarding U.S. government Middle East<br />
and terrorism strategy. Rosen and Weissman are<br />
charged with then providing that classified in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
to an Israeli diplomat -- and a journalist.<br />
Government official Franklin has pleaded guilty<br />
and been sentenced to prison. But defense attorneys<br />
<strong>for</strong> Rosen and Weissman declare: “Never (until now)<br />
has a lobbyist, reporter or any other nongovernment<br />
employee been charged ... <strong>for</strong> receiving oral in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
the government alleges to be national-defense<br />
material as part of that (accused) person’s normal First<br />
Amendment-protected activities.”<br />
In an amicus brief to the U.S. District Court <strong>for</strong> the<br />
Eastern District of Virginia, the Reporters Committee<br />
<strong>for</strong> the Freedom of the Press (with which I am affiliated)<br />
says:<br />
“<strong>The</strong>se charges potentially eviscerate the primary<br />
function of journalism -- to gather and publicize in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
of public concern -- particularly where the<br />
most valuable in<strong>for</strong>mation to the public is in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
that the government wants to conceal” so that the public<br />
cannot “participate in and serve as a check on the<br />
government.” (That’s why the First Amendment’s<br />
freedom of the press was added to the Constitution in<br />
1792.)<br />
But the judge now hearing this espionage case, T.S.<br />
Ellis III, already said in March: “Persons who come<br />
into unauthorized possession of classified in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
must abide by the law. That applies to academics,<br />
lawyers, journalists, professors, whatever.” Recently,<br />
the judge appears to be backing off.<br />
However he decides, and it’s uncertain, as Steven<br />
Aftergood -- head of the Project on Government<br />
Secrecy at the Federation of American Scientists says<br />
-- “To make a crime of the kind of conversations<br />
Rosen and Weissman had with Franklin over lunch<br />
would not be surprising in the People’s Republic of<br />
China. But it’s utterly <strong>for</strong>eign to the American political<br />
system.” (This censorship of the press was cut out of<br />
the Espionage Act of 1917.)<br />
If the Supreme Court agrees with the Bush administration<br />
on this case, we will, as Aftergood says, have<br />
to build many more jails -- and disarm the First<br />
Amendment.<br />

capable of,” said Phil<br />
Harrison, president of Sony<br />
Computer Entertainment’s<br />
Worldwide Studios.<br />
Sony also showed off the<br />
PS3’s new controller, which<br />
looks similar to the one <strong>for</strong><br />
the older PlayStation 2 but<br />
adds motion sensors to detect<br />
six degrees of movement. In a<br />

meeting was spent showing<br />
off new PS3 games,<br />
including a demonstration<br />
high-definition version of the<br />
racing game “Grand<br />
Turismo” and the sword fighting<br />
action game “Heavenly<br />
Sword.”<br />

PS3 is still $100 more than<br />
the current top-of-the-line<br />

what they claim are competitive<br />
advantages, such as the<br />
PS3’s speedy “Cell” processor,<br />
the console’s Blu-ray disk<br />

Dell cuts quarterly<br />
sales, income outlook<br />
due to lower prices<br />
By MAY WONG<br />
AP Technology Writer<br />
SAN JOSE -- Amid stiffening<br />
competition, computer<br />
maker Dell Inc. said Monday<br />
its fiscal first-quarter results<br />
will miss earnings targets,<br />
blaming the shortfall on “pricing<br />
decisions.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> news sent Dell shares<br />
falling nearly 6 percent to a<br />
52-week low.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Round Rock, Texasbased<br />
company said it expects<br />
to earn 33 cents per share on<br />
revenue of about $14.2 billion,<br />
compared with analysts’<br />
average estimate of 38 cents<br />
per share on revenue of<br />
$14.52 billion.<br />
Dell, which sells computers<br />
directly to consumers and is<br />
the world’s largest PC maker,<br />
previously <strong>for</strong>ecast a profit<br />
ranging from 36 cents to 38<br />
cents per share, including<br />
stock-option costs of 3 cents,<br />
on revenue of $14.2 billion to<br />
$14.6 billion.<br />
Dell said the shortfall from<br />
the previous guidance stems<br />
primarily from pricing decisions<br />
in the second half of the<br />
quarter that the company<br />
expects will accelerate revenue<br />
growth in the future.<br />
During the quarter, Dell<br />
Commerce<br />
Continued from Page 3<br />
aggressively discounted some<br />
of its products as it lost<br />
ground to rivals.<br />
In a statement, Dell CEO<br />
Kevin Rollins said the company<br />
had been “making investments<br />
in our support infrastructure<br />
and product quality”<br />
and slashing prices.<br />
Company officials declined<br />
to comment further. Dell will<br />
report first-quarter earnings<br />
on May 18.<br />
Stam<strong>for</strong>d, Conn.-based<br />
market researcher Gartner<br />
Inc. said Dell saw its share of<br />
industry computer shipments<br />
decline to 16.5 percent in the<br />
first quarter of 2006 from 16.9<br />
percent a year ago. Though<br />
Dell shipped 10.2 percent<br />
more PCs than it did in last<br />
year’s first quarter, Gartner<br />
said the growth rate was<br />
Dell’s slowest since the third<br />
quarter of 2001.<br />
“We’re experiencing a slow<br />
down in the growth of the PC<br />
market, and prices are coming<br />
down,” said Samir Bhavnani,<br />
a PC industry analyst with<br />
market researcher Current<br />
Analysis. “And PC makers,<br />
with Dell especially as the<br />
biggest one, are paying <strong>for</strong><br />
pricing decisions they made<br />
months ago.”<br />

This year’s E3 conference<br />
comes with the industry in<br />
financial turmoil as it transitions<br />
from older systems to<br />
the new consoles. Much of it<br />
has been blamed on consumers’<br />
desire to hold out <strong>for</strong><br />
the PS3 and Wii.<br />
<strong>The</strong> period has been especially<br />
brutal <strong>for</strong> key game<br />
makers like Electronic Arts<br />
Inc., which recently lost $16<br />
million in its fiscal fourth<br />
quarter. EA predicts video<br />

would be flat to down 5 percent<br />

Adelman out<br />
Kings coach fired<br />
after eight seasons<br />
By GREG BEACHAM<br />
<strong>The</strong> Associated Press<br />
SACRAMENTO — Rick<br />
Adelman made eight straight playoff<br />
appearances in eight consecutive<br />
winning seasons coaching the<br />
Sacramento Kings. His teams won<br />
two division titles while crafting<br />
an exciting new image <strong>for</strong> one of<br />
the NBA’s least lovable franchises.<br />
And it wasn’t nearly enough to<br />
save his job when the Kings’ owners<br />
and executives looked at their<br />
empty trophy case.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Kings dismissed the most<br />
successful coach in franchise history<br />
Tuesday in a firing mostly<br />
motivated by the club’s desire <strong>for</strong><br />
something better than the aboveaverage<br />
results delivered by<br />
Adelman, 14th on the NBA’s<br />
career list with 752 coaching victories.<br />
Geoff Petrie, the Kings’ president<br />
of basketball operations,<br />
wouldn’t give any clear-cut reasons<br />
<strong>for</strong> the decision not to extend<br />
Adelman’s contract, which expires<br />
in September. But owners Joe and<br />
Gavin Maloof, apparently dissatisfied<br />
with Adelman <strong>for</strong> years, are<br />
widely thought to be behind the<br />
move.<br />
Sacramento was eliminated<br />
from the playoffs Friday by the<br />

improve to 5-0 in<br />
SULL play<br />
<strong>The</strong> Taco Bell Angels won each<br />
of their four games over the last<br />
two weeks, improving to 5-0 on<br />
the season.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Angels secured victories<br />
over the Century 21 A’s, 12-7,<br />
and Thurston Dodgers, 9-7, last<br />
week.<br />
Chauncey Mills pitched a complete<br />
game and Victor Gonzalez<br />

the Angels over the weekend.<br />
Mills struck out 13 batters as the<br />
club held on <strong>for</strong> a 2-1 victory over<br />
the Seltzer Realty Giants.<br />
Squaring off against the Century<br />
21 A’s on Monday night, the<br />
Angels jumped out to an early<br />
lead, scoring three runs in the first<br />

<strong>The</strong> Angels amassed 10 runs by<br />
the fourth inning of play, coasting<br />

Mendosa pitched three strong<br />
innings to notch the win <strong>for</strong> the<br />
Rockies in his first appearance of<br />
the year.<br />
Mendosa struck out three, gave<br />

one earned run to the Pirates.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Rockies were led at the<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Ukiah</strong> Wildcats congratulate the Elsie Allen Lobos following a 14-0 victory Tuesday afternoon.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Wildcats looked dominant from the opening pitch, coasting to an easy win.<br />
By RYAN GARNER<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Daily</strong> <strong>Journal</strong><br />
It was short, efficient, and difficult<br />
to watch at times.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Elsie Allen Lobos couldn’t<br />
advance a runner past first base,<br />
while the <strong>Ukiah</strong> Wildcats scored in<br />
droves, coasting to a 14-0 victory<br />
in five innings Tuesday afternoon.<br />
“We had to grab a lead,” said<br />
<strong>Ukiah</strong> coach Gary Venturi. “We<br />
were able to get some hits after the<br />
first inning and it turned out pretty<br />
well <strong>for</strong> us.”<br />
Lindsay Kiely pitched three<br />
strong inning, striking out six of<br />
the 11 batters she faced. Junior<br />
Sarah Neustel entered the game in<br />
the fourth, collecting four strikeouts<br />
of her own in two innings of<br />
work.<br />
“We’ve got four seniors who<br />
have played a lot and it was nice to<br />
get them some rest,” said Venturi.<br />
“We let Sarah throw a little and it<br />
was good to see her get some work<br />
in.” <strong>The</strong> Wildcats connected <strong>for</strong><br />
three consecutive infield singles in<br />
the first inning, but nearly wasted<br />
the golden opportunity, grounding<br />
out and smoking a line drive to the<br />
first baseman.<br />
Mikaela Hyler stepped to the<br />
plate with two outs and drove a fly<br />
ball into center field. Elsie Allen<br />
couldn’t come up with the catch,<br />
allowing Kiely and Cristina<br />
Gomez to score and giving the<br />
Wildcats a 2-0 lead.<br />
Katie Ott crushed a pitch to left<br />
field in the second inning, driving<br />
hired Adelman — his <strong>for</strong>mer<br />
roommate from their playing days<br />
— when both worked in Portland.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> dynamic that needed to be<br />
there to help it move <strong>for</strong>ward just<br />
wasn’t there.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Kings also declined to<br />
renew the contracts of Adelman’s<br />
four assistants: Elston Turner, T.R.<br />
Dunn, Bubba Burrage and Pete<br />
Carril, the Hall of Fame <strong>for</strong>mer<br />
Princeton coach who spent nine of<br />
the last 10 years as a Sacramento<br />
in Allie Ortega. Nicki Taylor hit a<br />
single two batters later and<br />
Chelsea Meeker scored from second<br />
base, building the lead to four<br />
runs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Wildcats erupted <strong>for</strong> ten<br />
runs in the third inning, nearly<br />
going through the entire lineup<br />
twice. Both Hyler and Sarah<br />
Laughlin finished with two runs<br />
scored and two RBIs in the winning<br />

Protecting<br />
the source<br />
SF Chronicle writers could<br />
face more prison time than<br />
BALCO dealers<br />
By DAVID KRAVETS<br />
<strong>The</strong> Associated Press<br />
SAN FRANCISCO — Five people linked<br />
to the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative<br />
were convicted of doling out steroids to elite<br />
athletes. But in an ironic twist, two San<br />
Francisco Chronicle writers who reported on<br />
the probe could end up serving more jail<br />
time than any of them.<br />
Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada<br />
are the latest reporters to become entangled<br />
in the federal government’s ramped-up<br />
ef<strong>for</strong>ts to investigate leaks. <strong>The</strong>y have been<br />
subpoenaed to testify be<strong>for</strong>e a grand jury<br />
investigating who leaked them the secret testimony<br />
of Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and<br />
others.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Chronicle, which published the testimony<br />
in a series of stories beginning in late<br />
2004, is challenging the subpoena, arguing<br />
that the First Amendment protects the<br />
reporters and their sources.<br />
Both reporters say they aren’t going to<br />
talk — which means they could be fined and<br />
jailed until they divulge their sources, or<br />
sentenced to a fixed term <strong>for</strong> contempt.<br />
“Of course, we are going to stand up <strong>for</strong><br />
our sources and we would never betray<br />
them,” Fainaru-Wada said.<br />
A day in jail would be longer than the probation<br />
sentences <strong>for</strong> BALCO vice president<br />
James Valente and track coach Remi<br />
Korchemny, who both pleaded guilty to distribution<br />
charges.<br />
BALCO president Victor Conte and Greg<br />
Anderson — Bonds’ personal trainer — each<br />
got four months in prison, while BALCO<br />
supplier Patrick Arnold faces three months.<br />
On the question of whether reporters are<br />
shielded from revealing their sources, courts<br />
have gone both ways.<br />
In the 1972 case Branzburg v. Hayes, U.S.<br />
Supreme Court Justice Byron White ruled<br />
that reporters, like everyone else, must<br />
“respond to relevant questions put to them in<br />
the course of a valid grand jury investigation<br />
or criminal trial.”<br />
Over the years, though, Branzburg was<br />
largely ignored. Judges more often sided<br />
with Justice Lewis Powell, who wrote separately<br />
in the same case. He urged the judiciary,<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e ordering reporters to testify, to<br />
balance the First Amendment rights of journalists<br />
against the public’s right to know.<br />
That changed in 2003, when the Chicago<br />
Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune lost a bid to<br />
protect their reporters from divulging<br />
recordings of interviews of a witness in a ter-<br />

TORONTO (AP) — Bobby Crosby and<br />

Josh Towers fell to 0-7 as the Oakland<br />
Athletics beat the Blue Jays 6-5 on Tuesday<br />
night.<br />
Crosby and Melhuse homered in the<br />
fourth off Towers, who has lost all seven of<br />
his starts this season.<br />
Towers’ ERA fell from 10.59 to 10.09<br />
despite allowing three runs in four innings.<br />
<strong>The</strong> right-hander won 13 games last season<br />
and signed a two-year contract in the offseason,<br />
but he has lost a career-worst seven<br />
straight decisions.<br />
He did rebound last season after losing six<br />
straight decisions.<br />
Oakland starter Dan Haren (2-3) looked<br />
sharp, allowing three runs and six hits in 7 1-<br />
3 innings. He struck out seven and walked<br />
two.<br />
Toronto put two runners on in the eighth,<br />
but Kiko Calero struck out Shea Hillenbrand<br />
on three pitches <strong>for</strong> the second out of the<br />
inning.<br />
Huston Street came on and got four outs<br />
<strong>for</strong> his fifth save in six chances despite<br />
allowing RBIs doubles to Reed Johnson and<br />
Vernon Wells in the ninth. Troy Glaus<br />
popped out to second base to end the game.<br />
Towers looked sharp in the first three<br />
innings be<strong>for</strong>e Crosby led off the fourth by<br />
crushing a ball over the center field wall <strong>for</strong><br />
Oakland’s first run.<br />
Towers later walked Jay Payton with two<br />
outs in the inning be<strong>for</strong>e Melhuse hit a towering<br />
homer to right center to give Oakland<br />
a 3-0 lead.<br />
Oakland added two unearned runs in the<br />

at least two seasons. Adelman<br />

angering Adelman. This<br />
spring, the brothers could be<br />

Kings’ bench from their courtside<br />
seats when things went<br />
poorly on the court.<br />
When pressed on the reasons<br />
<strong>for</strong> Adelman’s departure,<br />
Petrie replied: “I’ve answered<br />
that to the extent that I can.”<br />
Petrie plans to meet with<br />
Joe and Gavin Maloof late this<br />
week to begin a coaching<br />

Las Vegas on Tuesday and<br />
unavailable <strong>for</strong> comment.<br />

official taking a bribe.<br />
More recently, the Justice<br />
Department has been examining<br />
whether classified in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

<strong>The</strong> Washington Post about a<br />
network of secret CIA prisons<br />
in Eastern Europe and elsewhere.<br />

seventh. ... Towers lost six<br />
straight decisions from May<br />

and whatever trade opportunities<br />
can come your way,”<br />
Petrie said.<br />
Adelman, who plans to<br />
meet with reporters at the<br />
Kings’ training complex<br />
Wednesday, also didn’t immediately<br />
return a call seeking<br />
comment.<br />
He would be a prime candidate<br />
<strong>for</strong> any offseason vacancies,<br />
but few coaches are<br />
expected to change jobs this<br />
summer — and Adelman<br />
might want to take a prolonged<br />
vacation after his<br />
tumultuous years with the<br />
Kings.<br />
Adelman is 752-481 in 16<br />
seasons as an NBA coach, the<br />
last eight in Sacramento,<br />
where he won 395 games and<br />
led the Kings to the most success<br />
in a franchise history that<br />
stretches back to the NBA’s<br />
founding days, when they<br />
were the Rochester Royals.<br />

Los Angeles media attorney<br />

are trying “to uphold<br />
the sanctity of the court system.”<br />
It would look bad, he said,<br />
if the government didn’t try to<br />
out the source of the leak.<br />
That’s because a different federal<br />

whether Barry Bonds committed<br />
perjury when he testified<br />
in 2003 that he didn’t knowingly<br />
use steroids.<br />

Kendall rips MLB after dropping suspension appeal<br />
TORONTO (AP) — Oakland<br />
Athletics catcher Jason Kendall ripped<br />
Major League Baseball after dropping his<br />
appeal of his four-game suspension on<br />
Tuesday.<br />
Kendall was suspended and fined <strong>for</strong><br />
charging Los Angeles Angels pitcher<br />
John Lackey in a game on May 2.<br />
“Major League Baseball has turned<br />
into a badminton league. <strong>The</strong>y told me I<br />
didn’t have any shot of getting my suspension<br />
knocked out,” Kendall said.<br />
Kendall said his agent, general manager<br />
Billy Beane and the players union told<br />
him he probably wouldn’t have his suspension<br />
reduced.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> fact that they won’t knock anything<br />
off is embarrassing to the game<br />
because the game has changed. Now you<br />
can’t really defend yourself. I understand<br />
I have to be suspended, but it’s not like I<br />
went out and picked a fight. Nothing<br />
would have happened if he wouldn’t have<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Ukiah</strong><br />
DAILY JOURNAL<br />
468-3532<br />
said anything to me, if he wouldn’t have<br />
taken three steps hard at me,” Kendall<br />
said.<br />
Lackey threw a pitch to Kendall that<br />
started out high and inside, then sharply<br />
broke back toward the plate in the sixth<br />
inning of Oakland’s 10-3 win. Kendall<br />
backed out of the batter’s box, then suddenly<br />
charged the mound after Lackey<br />
said something about his elbow pad.<br />
Kendall charged the mound and wrestled<br />
Lackey to the ground, emptying both<br />
dugouts and bullpens.<br />
“I get called out by Lackey. He calls<br />
me out and disrespects me and I’m supposed<br />
to sit here and have him yell at me?<br />
So basically what Major League Baseball<br />
is saying is that any big league pitcher out<br />
there can yell at somebody and get fined<br />
$2,000. That’s what the fine was.”<br />
Kendall said.<br />
MLB’s latest disciplinary action<br />
against Kendall comes after he received a<br />
News <strong>for</strong><br />
all ages.<br />
And<br />
comics<br />
too.<br />
four-game suspension in August 2004<br />
while with Pittsburgh <strong>for</strong> a similar scuffle<br />
when he charged the mound in a game<br />
against Colorado after being hit by nowteammate<br />
Joe Kennedy.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pitcher received a five-game suspension<br />
<strong>for</strong> the incident.<br />
“I think the big thing was this was my<br />
fourth time, and all four of the fights I’ve<br />
been into has been about sticking up <strong>for</strong><br />
myself or sticking up <strong>for</strong> my pitcher. I<br />
guess they don’t look at that,” Kendall<br />
said. “People that are making decisions<br />
have never been in a situation like that.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y wait <strong>for</strong> situations like this to happen<br />
so they can have this big power. And<br />
that’s what they did. <strong>The</strong>y have the power<br />
right now.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> 31-year-old Kendall, who played<br />
150 games last year in his first season<br />
with the A’s, entered Friday’s game batting<br />
.244 with no home runs and seven<br />
RBIs.<br />

THIS MOTHER'S DAY, LET'S NOT DO BRUNCH<br />
BY REBEKAH DENN<br />
Seattle Post-Intelligencer<br />
Wondering where to take<br />
your mom <strong>for</strong> a lovely<br />
Mother's Day brunch?<br />
Here's my dream place:<br />
• A vase of fresh tulips<br />
rests on the freshly<br />
laundered tablecloth.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> coffee is hot and<br />
fresh, with cream and sugar<br />
served in matching china.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> oven timer rings,<br />
signaling that the scones are<br />
golden-brown.<br />
• And Mom herself is<br />
slipping on her bathrobe,<br />
walking from the bedroom<br />
to the kitchen so she can<br />
open her cards after sleeping<br />
in.<br />
• That's my sincere and<br />
professional advice. Stay<br />
home <strong>for</strong> Mother's Day.<br />
• Not that anyone listens.<br />
It's the most popular day of<br />
the year <strong>for</strong> dining out,<br />
according to the National<br />
Restaurant Association.<br />

Which is why I avoid it.<br />
Restaurants are jammed and<br />
kitchens are slammed.<br />
Servers are rushed. Those<br />
nearly-four-out-of-10<br />
Americans descending on<br />
restaurants are expecting the<br />
perfect experience, not<br />
realizing that even perfect<br />
restaurants tend to fall short<br />
of their best on the busiest<br />
day of the year.<br />
• As well, some families<br />
aren't at their best when<br />
crowded together in a noisy<br />
room, waiting <strong>for</strong> 10 orders<br />
of eggs Benedict to arrive<br />
simultaneously. It's like<br />
expecting to have a great<br />
time shopping together on<br />
Christmas Eve.<br />
"Tolstoy might have<br />
revised his opinion about all<br />
unhappy families being<br />
unique had he ever worked<br />
Mother's Day in a<br />
restaurant," wrote <strong>for</strong>mer<br />
server Debra Ginsberg in her<br />
memoir, "Waiting: <strong>The</strong> True<br />
Confessions of a Waitress."<br />
Ginsberg called it "a day<br />
feared, reviled and hated by<br />
servers everywhere."<br />
Brunch food is particularly<br />
delicate and easy to ruin,<br />
Ginsberg wrote, with few<br />
kitchens able to handle<br />
hundreds of egg orders at a<br />
time. Tips tend to be bad.<br />
Family dynamics take over<br />
the tables, with grown kids<br />
reverting to old behavior<br />
patterns, taking their<br />
irritations out on the servers<br />
because they can't abuse<br />
Mom on her special day.<br />
We like the way Cooper<br />
Mills, general manager at<br />
Ivar's Acres of Clams, neatly<br />
handles the celebration in<br />
his own family:<br />
"My mom finally<br />
understands now that when<br />
we go out <strong>for</strong> Mother's Day,<br />
we don't do it on Mother's<br />
Day. We do it a couple days<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e or a couple days<br />
after," Mills said.<br />
15% OFF with this ad • Expires May 15, 06<br />
If celebrating on the<br />
official date, he added, "you<br />
run into that half-hour, 45minute<br />
wait. That's the<br />
worst."<br />
Need more disincentive?<br />
Restaurants overbook on<br />
Mother's Day.<br />
Lobbies, which never are<br />
big enough anyway, are<br />
packed.<br />
And kids aren't generally<br />
at their best confined to a<br />
hallway <strong>for</strong> extended<br />
periods.<br />
When Ivar's began offering<br />
its own Mother's Day brunch<br />
last year, Mills and his<br />
colleagues took particular<br />
care to avoid, or at least<br />
minimize, those snares.<br />
Ivar's banks on longer-thannormal<br />
turnaround times,<br />
allowing Mom to open gifts<br />
or bask in the conversation,<br />
he said, so the restaurant<br />
provides a sizable cushion<br />
<strong>for</strong> bookings rather than<br />
counting on no-shows to<br />

"We do good numbers as it<br />
is," Mills said. "We could do<br />
more, but you start getting<br />
into 'At what cost?' People<br />
waiting in the lobby a halfhour<br />
after their<br />
reservations?" Mills asked.<br />
"We all have mothers."<br />
Still on the fence about<br />
whether to go? <strong>The</strong> decision<br />
may be out of your hands.<br />
"You have to be a planner,"<br />
said Mary Davis, operations<br />
manager at Salty's in<br />
Seattle's Alki area, where the<br />
phone lines lit up solid at 8<br />
a.m. April 1 when the<br />
restaurant began accepting<br />
reservations <strong>for</strong> the holiday.<br />
As of last week, the<br />
restaurant was sold out <strong>for</strong><br />
large parties, though smaller<br />
families can still give it a<br />
try.<br />
Salty's has been doing its<br />
brunch <strong>for</strong> some 20 years -the<br />

the usual Sunday feast -- and<br />
Davis said it's down to a<br />
science. <strong>The</strong> head chef<br />
checks out the reservation<br />
numbers in advance and<br />
does the planning with the<br />
rest of the cooking staff.<br />
"On Easter we went<br />
through 700 pounds of<br />
Dungeness crab," said<br />
Davis. "It's nuts."<br />
Davis said it's actually<br />
exciting to see all the<br />
families coming in <strong>for</strong> such<br />
a special day. But she knows<br />
it's not <strong>for</strong> everyone.<br />
"I think another option <strong>for</strong><br />
folks is to pick another day,"<br />
she said. "Maybe pick the<br />
following or preceding<br />
Saturday or Sunday, and<br />
honor their mother on a day<br />
that's not traditionally<br />
Mother's Day, but they can<br />
make it their own."<br />
And here's a final tip from<br />
me: Should you pick an<br />
alternate date, avoid Feb. 14.<br />

Don’t walk into a<br />
care contract blind<br />
Last week, we wrote about<br />
the adult daughter (of a<br />
Parkinson’s stricken father<br />
and elderly mother) who<br />
wanted to know what we<br />
thought about personal-care<br />
contracts. <strong>The</strong>se are agreements<br />
between an elderly person<br />
and one or more individuals<br />
who, in return <strong>for</strong> a lumpsum<br />
payment, promise to<br />
deliver enumerated services to<br />
the elderly person <strong>for</strong> the rest<br />
of the senior’s life.<br />
As noted last week<br />
(www.nextsteps.net), there<br />
are downsides to both the<br />
elderly person -- <strong>for</strong> example,<br />
the caregiver could take the<br />
money and fail to per<strong>for</strong>m the<br />
services -- and the caregiver,<br />
who will be assessed significant<br />
income taxes because the<br />
lump payment is <strong>for</strong> services.<br />
Probably the greatest<br />
potential benefit to the elderly<br />
person is that, with a higher<br />
level of privately paid care,<br />
the chances of being able to<br />
remain at home <strong>for</strong> longer<br />
periods of time improve. And<br />
the longer the senior can<br />
remain outside the nursing<br />
home, the better. But if circumstances<br />
require that the<br />
senior enter a facility, the<br />
caregiver should be able to<br />
provide personalized care on a<br />
regular basis that may well<br />
improve the resident’s quality<br />
of life.<br />
After studying the pros and<br />
cons, we believe these contracts<br />
should be entered into<br />
only after the senior is fully<br />
in<strong>for</strong>med and understands all<br />
the risks. If entered, personal<br />
care contracts should be prepared<br />
by experienced attorneys<br />
and should include provisions<br />
calling <strong>for</strong> specific<br />
services to be made available<br />
on an "as-needed" basis.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se services can include,<br />
but are certainly not limited<br />
to, (1) supervising the senior’s<br />
state of health and safety,<br />
which includes dealing with<br />
the health care providers; (2)<br />
providing <strong>for</strong> the senior’s<br />
physical, social and related<br />
maintenance; (3) assuring that<br />
necessary equipment is purchased,<br />
operable and repaired<br />
when necessary; (4) planning<br />
<strong>for</strong> and providing socialization<br />
with others whom the<br />
senior enjoys; (5) arranging<br />
<strong>for</strong> or cooking meals; and<br />
even (6) paying bills based on<br />
the trust relationship between<br />
senior and care provider.<br />
Using governmental lifeexpectancy<br />
tables based on<br />
Next steps<br />
By Jan Warner and Jan Collins<br />
the age of the contracting<br />
senior, knowledgeable attorneys<br />
and certified public<br />
accountants can compute the<br />
fair market value of the services<br />
to be provided over the<br />
senior’s lifetime to arrive at<br />
the amount the senior will<br />
pay. Properly prepared, this<br />
contract should be considered<br />
to be a payment by the senior<br />
<strong>for</strong> the value of services, and,<br />
there<strong>for</strong>e, shouldn’t be considered<br />
a gift or gratuitous<br />
transfer <strong>for</strong> less than fair market<br />
value, which would cause<br />
a period of disqualification <strong>for</strong><br />
Medicaid purposes. But<br />
explanation of the concept to<br />
state regulators can be difficult.<br />
Because these types of contracts<br />
are far-reaching and<br />
important, a trust relationship<br />
must exist between the senior<br />
and caregiver(s). Additionally,<br />
as many safety precautions as<br />
possible should be built into<br />
the contract due to the likelihood<br />
of potential financial or<br />
other harm to the senior.<br />
Remember: in return <strong>for</strong> a<br />
promise to provide care <strong>for</strong><br />
the rest of the senior’s life, the<br />
senior is contributing a rather<br />
significant amount of money<br />
that may all be lost.<br />
While personal-care contracts<br />
may be useful to some,<br />
due to the risk of loss of<br />
assets, tax consequences that<br />
may crop up if the senior sells<br />
appreciated assets in order to<br />
pay the caregiver, and other<br />
downsides, we believe that<br />
these arrangements should be<br />
used sparingly, if at all.<br />

Dear Annie: I am a 21-year-old mother-tobe,<br />
and my husband and I are currently separated<br />
by our duty stations in the military, and<br />
will be until July.<br />
With the impending childbirth this fall, my<br />
husband has been acting out of his box, so to<br />
speak. He says he’s been thinking a lot, and<br />
he’s not sure of our marriage or if he can honestly<br />
say “I love you” to me. He also says he<br />
misses me, but at the same time he’s loving the<br />
fact that he has time to party and be free.<br />
Most people tell me that he’s just trying to<br />
squeeze all of this “single life” in be<strong>for</strong>e he<br />
comes home, and that things will change once<br />
he is with me again. But I’m worried, and I’m<br />
also emotional. I do not want to become a<br />
divorcee at the age of 21.<br />
Do you think my husband’s “deep thinking”<br />
is being triggered by the anxiety and distance?<br />
Or do you think there is an underlying problem<br />
he isn’t telling me? I worry about him being<br />
with other women and doing things he should<br />
not be doing. -- Mama Wears Combat Boots<br />
Dear Mama: We think it’s the separation<br />
that is causing your husband to question his<br />
marriage. Long-distance relationships are difficult<br />
under any circumstances. This doesn’t<br />
mean things will fall into place when he returns<br />
home. You will have plenty of work to do to<br />
reestablish your commitment. <strong>The</strong> military<br />
provides counseling services. Even if your husband<br />
will not take advantage of them, you<br />
should. Also, look into support networks, such<br />
as militaryspousesupport.net. Good luck.<br />
Dear Annie: I have never written you<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e, but I’m really worried about my daughter<br />
and her family. She and my son-in-law have<br />

Yesterday’s<br />
a beautiful home and three lovely children, but<br />
their house is a fire hazard. I used to go over<br />
there and clean like crazy, thinking they would<br />
keep it up after I left, but it didn’t happen.<br />
I’m not talking about minor cleanliness. My<br />
husband refuses to step inside, let alone spend<br />
the night, and other family members feel the<br />
same. <strong>The</strong>re is stuff stacked nearly to the ceiling<br />
in all the rooms and the garage. Half the<br />
time the kids can’t even sleep in their own beds<br />
because of all the junk.<br />
Both parents work, even though our daughter<br />
doesn’t have to. I think it’s her way of<br />
avoiding cleaning. I’ve tried talking to her, but<br />
she gets mad and screams at me, and then the<br />
grandchildren get upset. We’ve told her we<br />
won’t visit if she doesn’t get some cleaning<br />
help. We are so worried the house is going to<br />
catch fire and they will all burn up. -- Help Us<br />

Briefly<br />
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the European<br />
Union would take the lead in the new ef<strong>for</strong>t. <strong>The</strong> United Nations<br />
and Russia, the other partners in the Quartet peacemaking group<br />
along with the U.S., also endorsed the program.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> thrust of this is the international community is still trying<br />
to respond to the needs of the Palestinian people,” Rice said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> U.S. and European Union have cut off much of the aid<br />
that had flowed in the past to Palestinian programs to prevent<br />
any of it from helping Hamas, the militant Islamic group that<br />
has conducted numerous terrorist attacks.<br />
Rising number of schools face penalties<br />
WASHINGTON (AP) — Falling short of requirements under<br />
President Bush’s education law, about 1,750 U.S. schools have<br />
been ordered into radical “restructuring,” subject to mass firings,<br />
closure, state takeover or other moves aimed at wiping<br />
their slates clean.<br />
Many are finding resolutions short of such drastic measures.<br />
But there is growing concern that the number of schools in serious<br />
trouble under the No Child Left Behind law is rising sharply<br />
— up 44 percent over the past year alone — and is expected to<br />
swell by thousands in the next few years.<br />
Schools make the list by falling short in math or reading <strong>for</strong><br />
at least five straight years.<br />
In perspective, the total amounts to 3 percent of roughly<br />
53,000 schools that get federal poverty aid and face penalties<br />
under the No Child Left Behind law.<br />
“It’s just a matter of time be<strong>for</strong>e we see upwards of 10,000<br />
schools in restructuring,” said Michael Petrilli, a <strong>for</strong>mer<br />
en<strong>for</strong>cement official at the Education Department.<br />

Most with fungus used Bausch & Lomb<br />
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Nearly two-thirds of contactlens<br />
wearers who contracted a potentially blinding fungal eye<br />
infection reported using Bausch & Lomb Inc.’s newest lens<br />
cleaner, health authorities said Tuesday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> eye-care products maker halted U.S. sales of its ReNu<br />
with MoistureLoc solution on April 10 after the Centers <strong>for</strong><br />
Disease Control and Prevention said it was investigating an outbreak<br />
of Fusarium keratitis infections in Americans using the<br />
product.<br />
<strong>The</strong> number of confirmed cases of the rare fungal infection<br />
has edged up to 106 in recent days, the Centers <strong>for</strong> Disease<br />
Control and Prevention said, but it reiterated that the origin<br />
remains a mystery. “It’s still too early to say what’s causing” the<br />
outbreak, CDC spokeswoman Christine Pearson said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> CDC has verified that 93 out of 98 confirmed cases <strong>for</strong><br />
which it has complete data involved contact lens users. Of<br />
those, 59 patients, or 63 percent, reported using MoistureLoc<br />
and 19 others, or 20 percent, said they used an older and more<br />
widely used Bausch & Lomb solution called ReNu MultiPlus.<br />
Nine patients reported using an unspecified ReNu product,<br />
and seven said they used cleaners made by Alcon Inc. and<br />
Advanced Medical Optics Inc., the CDC said. In some cases,<br />
patients reported using more than one type of lens cleaner.<br />
Trainer says Blaine had convulsions<br />
NEW YORK (AP) — David Blaine was unconscious and<br />
having convulsions when he was rescued from his 8-foot aquarium<br />
during a breath-holding stunt, his trainer said Tuesday.<br />
“I wasn’t focused on records; I was thinking of a rescue,”<br />
said trainer Kirk Krack, a free-diving expert. Blaine was convulsing<br />
and “unconscious when we brought him to the surface.<br />
If we hadn’t intervened, he would still be at the bottom of the<br />
sphere doing a breath-hold.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> 33-year-old illusionist had been submerged in the aquarium<br />
with an oxygen mask <strong>for</strong> a week. Rescue divers jumped<br />

three big fund-raisers held by<br />
the Special Olympics; the others<br />
are a dance organized by<br />
the Senior Center and a soup<br />
cook-off.<br />
Welch said the program is<br />
always looking <strong>for</strong> more volunteers<br />
and more athletes.<br />

He was rescued as he struggled to break a breath-holding<br />

Dow closes up 55, Nasdaq down 7<br />
NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street ended Tuesday mixed,<br />
with an analyst’s upgrade of General Motors Corp. carrying the<br />
Dow Jones industrials to a fresh six-year high and within reach<br />
of its best-ever close. Dell Inc.’s profit warning put a dent in the<br />
tech sector.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Dow pressed toward its all-time closing high although<br />
investors anxiously awaited the Federal Reserve’s next move on<br />
interest rates when policymakers meet Wednesday. Many on<br />
Wall Street are hoping the Fed will signal that an end to its rate<br />
tightening is near.<br />
But analysts say the Dow is poised to break its record and<br />
could push higher. Ken Tower, chief market strategist <strong>for</strong><br />
Schwab’s CyberTrader, said investors appeared increasingly<br />
optimistic about the market, especially after stocks held onto<br />
their sharp gains from the end of last week.<br />
“People became much more bullish on Friday morning, and<br />
the fact they didn’t sober up over the weekend is a very positive<br />
sign <strong>for</strong> the market,” Tower said. “Of course, everything<br />
depends on the Fed. But at least <strong>for</strong> the moment, you have to<br />
look at the market in a positive light.”<br />
Dell said its first-quarter sales and profit will miss prior estimates,<br />
hurt by discounting as it fought to keep pace with competitors.<br />
Meanwhile, solid April sales at McDonald’s Corp.<br />
were helping the Dow’s advance and countering a rise in oil<br />
prices.<br />
