By KATIE MINTZ
The Daily Journal

judges make.
County supervisors give themselves $20,000 more;
controversial increase approved without discussion

UKIAH HIGH’S SCHOOL YEAR WINDS DOWN
Seniors out, juniors in
Be ready for
‘realities of
life,’ principal
to advise class
The Daily Journal
K.C. Meadows/The Daily Journal
Retiring Ukiah High School
Principal Ken Montoya will have a
clear message to graduates when he
gets up to speak at Saturday’s graduation ceremony.
“Life is curly; don’t try to straighten it out.”
That sentiment
comes from a book
he’s reading at the
moment
called
“Fierce Conversations,” by Susan
Scott, a book that
has given Montoya
inspiration for the
Class of 2007.
He wants to
impress upon this
Montoya
year’s graduating
class that life will
bring changes and challenges and that
they should be ready to face the “realities of life.”
Scott’s book discusses how people
in the business world can vastly
improve their skills and successes
simply by knowing how to communicate effectively, including knowing
one’s strengths and weaknesses.
“Have a fierce conversation,”
Montoya advises students getting out
into the world. “And that doesn’t
mean something bad. It means
engage, be prepared, because India
and China are not far behind.”
The senior parking area at Ukiah High School was nearly deserted by lunch
Tuesday.
Seniors rush for the exits;
juniors prepare to move up
By K.C. MEADOWS
The Daily Journal
O
ne minute there’s a parking area
full of cars, SUVs and pickups
sitting in the sunshine and the next,
an empty lot.
In what seems like a scene from “Gone
in 60 Seconds,” seniors poured out of
Ukiah High School Tuesday on the
countdown to their last day of high school.
There were slamming car doors, some
calling to friends and a few honking horns
and then they were gone. It’s a sight that
has become familiar this week.
But while seniors are movin’ on, juniors
are movin’ up. And the thought of being a
senior is almost as good as graduation day.
“I’m pretty much going to rule the
school,” joked junior Kiki Corcoran as he
relaxed on the Ukiah High campus during
lunch Tuesday.” Corcoran will turn 18
during his senior year and expects that to
mean “more freedom.”
His friend, junior Brittany Kuny, also
thinks being a senior will be pretty fun.
“As a senior you have more options.
And only three classes,” she noted. “I
don’t know any seniors with a full
schedule.”
Meanwhile, Corcoran and Kuny are
looking forward to a fun summer,
Corcoran volunteering at the Humane
Society shelter and working at Auto
Dismantlers, Kuny spending her time on
the coast “hanging out” and teaching her
boyfriend to surf.
And as for sophomore Timmy Baker,
who will be working this summer for his
Mom at Scotty’s hot dog stand on North
State Street and then relaxing at the
driving range, there are two years yet to go
to graduation.
But at least next year, as a junior, “I’ll
Juniors Brittany Kuny and Kiki
Corcoran are looking forward to
summer fun, followed by a school
year when it’ll be their turn to be
part of Ukiah High’s senior class.
be above two other classes.”
The Class of 2008 is considerably
bigger than this year’s graduating group.
The Class of 2008 has 429 students
compared to this year’s senior class of
370.

from the consent calendar, which is
typically acted upon in one motion,
for a separate vote. Without discussion, the board voted 3-1,
Wattenburger dissenting and Delbar

MURDER TRIAL
DA’s case
presented;
Raff likely
to testify
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
Deputy District Attorney James Nerli
rested his case in the murder trial of Howard
Raff Tuesday on the testimony of several
forensic experts, including a firearms expert
and the contract county coroner.
Contract Coroner Dr.
Jason Trent testified that
the
victim, Virginia
Larkin, died of a single
gunshot wound to the
head.
The bullet entered
Larkin’s head at the right
temple, traveled through
her brain and lodged on
the left side of her neck.
Larkin was taken from
Ukiah to Santa Rosa
Raff
Memorial Hospital and
transferred from there to
UC Davis Medical Center, where she
remained in a coma for almost a week before
she died.
Trent testified that the autopsy he performed did not show any cause of death
other than the bullet wound.
“It is my opinion that this is a lethal injury
from which this person would never have
recovered,” Trent said.
“In my opinion, she died in Ukiah,” he
said.
The bullet, a .380 round, was removed
from Larkin’s neck by doctors at UC Davis.
California Department of Justice Firearms
Expert Toby Baxter testified that the bullet
removed from Larkin matched those he testfired from a .380 Lorcin handgun that was
found at the scene.
Police have alleged that Raff shot Larkin
once in the head, removed the clip from the
gun, and left the gun at the scene.
When Raff turned himself in to Ukiah
Courthouse Security, he was carrying a
loaded clip. Baxter said the clip surrendered
at the courthouse matched the gun found at
the scene.
Ukiah Police Department Detective
Glenn Stark testified that the Department of
Justice Lab in Sacramento did not find any
prints on the handgun and that the only print
on the clip was not identifiable.
Jurors also heard testimony from Los
Angeles County Criminalist Steven Dowell,
who is an expert in gunshot residue, which
are particles expelled from a gun when it is
fired.
Dowell said two “highly specific” particles of gunshot residue were found on samples taken from the back of Raff’s left hand.
Raff is right-handed.
“This would not be an unusual find from
someone who fired a firearm,” Dowell said.
He said it is not uncommon to collect very
few particles of gunshot residue when doing
collections in the field.
On cross-examination, Dowell testified
that Raff could have gotten gunshot residue
on his hands if there were any on surfaces in
the police interview room where he was

PLEASANT HILL — A
grade scam at a San Francisco
Bay area community college
may stretch back to 2000.
Dozens of students are suspected of paying up to $600 to
records-office employees for
each improved grade. At first
84 students were suspected,
but Diablo Valley College
officials say at least 20 have
been cleared.
Some of the students may
have transferred to four-year
colleges, including campuses
at the University of California
and California State University systems.
Diablo Valley spokeswoman Chrisanne Knox said
Tuesday that once the investigation is complete they will
send out corrected transcripts
to any schools that received
false grade information.

By K.C. Meadows
The Daily Journal
For the third consecutive year,
Mendocino College is offering a special
section of Entrepreneurial Management.
The Summer Entrepreneurship Academy
is a course available to any student, but
structured especially for high school students looking to develop business skills.
Students are able to receive three units
of college credit in just eight days by

9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. from July 16 through

this course and participants came from all
over Mendocino and Lake Counties. High
School students representing Covelo,
Laytonville, Lakeport, Willits, Ukiah and
Kelseyville, were enrolled.
Entrepreneurial Management is
designed for students to learn about the
numerous aspects of starting and running
an emerging business. The curriculum will
cover marketing, management, accounting,
and operations for the prospective entrepreneur.
In a fast paced, team environment, students will learn how to write a business
plan, record a radio commercial, film a
television commercial, build a website,
make financial projections, and create marketing plans.
Further opportunities to gain experience
and knowledge from entrepreneurs, will
consist of the class taking a field trip to
several local businesses. Additionally,

Barra family purchases Redwood Valley Cellars,
hires veteran specialty winemaker Dan Kopache
The Daily Journal
Mendocino county grape
growers and wine producers
Charles and Martha Barra
announced that Barra family has
completed the buy-out of
Redwood Valley Cellars, the 50acre custom crushing, vineyard,
and tasting room facility located
just north of Ukiah on June 4. The
Barra family, along with the Bill
Pauli family, had previously
shared joint ownership of this
unique facility over the last 12
years.
“Just like harvest, it’s all about
timing,” says 60-year grape and
wine veteran Charlie Barra of the
decision to purchase the
Redwood Valley Cellars facility.
“In any business, there comes a
time when you’re presented with
a fork in the road. Our fork came
in the form of a unique opportunity to meet the expanding needs of
both our wine brands and our
wine services (certified organic
bulk wine, custom crushing and
storage) by transitioning to 100
percent ownership in Redwood
Valley Cellars,” says Barra. In
conjunction with the decision to
expand their footprint in
Mendocino County wine business, the Barra family also knew
Dan Kopache
that they would need a winemaker that could meet the needs of
their custom crush clients as well
as the boutique-style demands of
their own wine brands made from
100 percent estate grown, organically grown grapes -- Barra of
Mendocino (launched in 1997),
and Girasole Vineyards (launched
in 2003). The Barra brands currently account for 20,000 cases in
sales.
“When we met Dan, we
thought it was too good to be
true,” says Martha Barra, who
oversees the winemaking and
custom crushing piece of the
Barra of Mendocino business.
With 18 years of winemaking
experience at premium California
wineries, including Benziger,
Kendall-Jackson and Fetzer, Dan
Kopache brings the knowledge,
understanding and hands-on skills
that are necessary to help build
the Barra of Mendocino business.
From the boutique-style
Imagery Series brands of
Benziger to the Australian-influenced blends of the Collage wines
from Kendall Jackson, Dan has
proven himself to be an accomplished winemaker that can adapt
to any setting.
“It’s not often that you get the
chance to be a part of something
like this,” says Kopache. “The
Barra family has spent the last 60
years building a foundation to
produce premium, consumerfriendly wines. To be able to
come in and help them grow their
own brands as well as deliver
superior quality and service to
their custom crush clients is an
incredible opportunity.”
Charlie Barra began farming in
Mendocino County on leased
land in 1945. Now, with over 200
acres of certified organic vineyard, two wine brands, a
California Certified Organic
Farmers certified winery/crushing
facility and a 5,000 square foot
tasting
room,,
Barra
of
Mendocino has the critical components in place to take the family-owned business to the next
level.
“We’re thrilled to see this evolution take place,” says John
Enquist of the Mendocino
Winegrape
and
Wine
Commission. “The Barra family
has been very active in helping
promote the Mendocino county
wine region and this new expansion will undoubtedly be good for
both the Barras and the region as
a whole.”
Moving forward, Redwood
Valley Cellars will continue to be
the name for the crush/storage
facility and the tasting room facility will be re-named Barra of
Mendocino Winery. For more
information on the Barra of
Mendocino, visit http://www.barraofmendocino.com.
Rising Treasury yields rattle stocks
but may not lead to long-term declines
By RACHEL BECK
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK -- The low interest rate environment that made stock investors so giddy in
recent years is getting turned on its head, but
that doesn’t mean that share prices necessarily
are doomed.
With Treasury yields surging in recent
weeks amid a bond-market rout, concerns on
Wall Street are certainly valid: So much of the
stock market’s recent record-setting run has
been fueled by cheap borrowing and easy credit conditions.
But history shows that when bonds have
turned ugly in the past, stocks returns over the
next six months haven’t necessarily followed a
similar path.
It was just four months ago when Business
Week’s cover exclaimed, “It’s a Low, Low,
Low, Low-Rate World.” Expectations were for
it to stay that way for a while as the yield on the
benchmark 10-year Treasury note dropped to
around 4.5 percent in March.
Then things started to go the other way,
pushing the 10-year yield above 5.10 percent
this week, its highest since last summer. The
Treasury’s 30-year bond is now at 5.24 percent,
up from 4.80 percent a month ago.
Feeding this sea-change in sentiment is a
growing realization that the Federal Reserve
won’t be cutting the overnight bank loan rate
anytime soon from the current 5.25 percent,
where it has stood since last summer. That scenario became more likely in recent weeks amid
evidence of rebounding U.S. economic growth
and some inflationary concerns.
Stock investors haven’t been able to focus
on the good in all of this -- that the economy is
perking up from its annualized growth rate of
0.6 percent in the first quarter. Instead, they’ve
set their sights on how higher yields will boost
borrowing costs, which could crimp consumer
and business spending and reduce corporate
profits.
That’s troubling to investors since strong
earnings and the cheap-debt fueled buyout
boom have been driving stocks higher in the
last year. The Dow Jones industrial average and
the Standard & Poor’s 500 index have topped
highs last seen in the final days of the dot-com
boom seven years ago.
Higher yields have also put many Wall
Street professionals on edge because their market valuations are coming down. Consider the
implications for the popular “Fed Model,”
which is not endorsed by the Fed but dates back
to comments made by former Fed Chairman
Alan Greenspan in 1997 regarding the relationship between earnings and 10-year Treasury
yields.
By dividing projected earnings for S&P 500
companies -- which stand at around $94.18 for
year-end 2007, according to expectations by
S&P’s analysts -- by the 10-year Treasury at
current levels, that would justify an S&P index
level of about 1,840.
While that’s 20 percent higher than where
the S&P 500 is trading now, it’s still 13 percent
below the theoretical index level of 2,000 had
the 10-year yield been at 4.5 percent.
Still, so long as rates stay below the S&P
500’s earnings yield, which today stands at
around 6.2 percent, the Fed Model suggests
that stock valuations aren’t excessive.
That jibes with history. Since 1962, there
have been only 12 other periods where bonds
faced a similar sell-off like that of recent weeks
-- 10 percent gains in yields within a month
capped by a 3 percent increase in one day -- and
before 1980, there was not a single time it happened, according to Bespoke Investment
Group.
But that didn’t lead to long-term trouble for
the stock market. The S&P 500 saw on average
a 0.31 percent gain in those 12 instances one
week after such a bond rout, and it rose 4.39
percent on average in the following six months,
according to Bespoke.
Most recently, after similar bond-yield gains
in May 2004, the S&P 500 rose 6.14 percent six
months later, while six months after the bond
mess of July 2003, the benchmark index
jumped 15.64 percent.

Many of you already saw the spread on
Kate Frey and her lovely Mendocino County
wildflower garden which won gold this year at
Britain’s famous Chelsea Garden show. What
I didn’t know and thought you all would be
interested to know is that Kate is the new gardener at Stanford Inn on the Mendocino
Coast.
Kate of course used to work full time in the
organic garden at Fetzer Valley Oaks in
Hopland but that facility has been closed for a
year now.
This is the third time Frey has won a medal
(in 2003 she won silver, in 2005 it was also
gold) for the work she has done for Fetzer,
who was the first winery ever invited to participate, back in 2003.
She now manages Jeff and Joan Stanford’s
organic gardens at their historic Stanford Inn
by the Sea, overlooking both the Big River
estuary and the Pacific.
“We are lucky to have someone like Kate in
our garden,” said Jeff Stanford, “She totally
understands what is great about Mendocino’s
natural beauty.”
dig! Music in association with
Mendocino College ComEx is bringing Patty
Griffin to town Sunday, July 22, at 8 p.m. at
the Mendocino College Center Theater for a
very special, intimate evening with Griffin
and her band.
Griffin was voted No. 19 of the best living
songwriters by Paste Magazine. Amped
Magazine calls Patty “one of the most important singer, songwriters of our time!”
Since the release of her new album,
“Children Running Through” in February,
Griffin has performed on David Letterman,
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and the
Ellen DeGeneres show.
Her first visit to Mendocino County is part
of a three-date stop in California that includes
the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts and the
Mountain Winery.
“To see and hear Patty Griffin in Ukiah, at
a venue this size, will be a very special
evening,” say Michael and Denise of dig!

Rick Le Burkien arrived from the U.S.
Virgin Islands to lead the Mendocino County
Promotional Alliance last November and he is
already gone. He sent along some thoughts on
why.
“There are two reasons,” Le Burkien writes.
“One, there are some bigger picture opportunities I am interested in that would allow me
to better optimize my talents, energy, spirit
and experience and; two I don’t believe I was
serving all members of my Board in the most
effective way possible.”
In other words, things weren’t working out.
I met Rick once at lunch when he was first
hired and he seemed like a nice enough guy,
but he seemed a little too “Oh boy am I going
to set this place on fire!” He was always talking in superlatives and enjoining people to
follow him and work together - something
Mendocinoans hate to do, as we know.
Here’s his take on our county.
“Mendocino County is a cross between an
upscale department store and a Target or WalMart. It possesses all the best of the best products and services for every taste, every need,
and every desire from a tourist and economic
development potential perspective. You can
find anything you want as a tourist and visitor.
You have a store with everything and no customers. You have beauty, great people,
tremendous cultural heritage, nature tourism
ranking with the best, an environmental and
‘green’ ethic that models best practices in the
U.S., excellence in the arts and theater, the
best grapes, the best wines, world-class lodging and I could go on for another half a page.
To me Mendocino County is the ‘richest’
county with the greatest potential I’ve ever
experienced.”
Yep, that’s Rick.
On his “obstacles” here he added, “I think
better balancing my tenacity, spirit, passion,
personality and energy with what I now call
the ‘Mendocino Way.’ The ‘Mendocino Way’
is actually positive in the sense of doing
things right. You must have patience and you
really must listen.”
I guess we have all experienced our own
versions of The Mendocino Way at some
point, eh?
“I thought I was pretty smart,” Rick continued. “However, it took coming to a place I
never heard of ... to a group of unique people
to learn my greatest lessons. 1. Talk less; 2.
Logic may not be the solution; 3. Talk less
and; 4. Relax and have patience. All things
I’ve known all my life but it’s in your face
here. These lessons will most certainly benefit
me for my next opportunity.”

From the desk of...
Coyotes a serious problem
To the editor:
I am 16 years old. My great-grandfather
Marvin Ford has written in and called Congress people to get attention on an issue
that is very serious in Redwood Valley.
That issue is coyotes. Coyotes are a menace
when it comes to raising livestock. My
family has been in the industry for many
years and now the coyote problem has
become serious.
In the last few months, we have lost 10
sheep to coyotes, eight of which have been
lambs. My great-grandfather is 91 years of
age, so I feel obligated to carry on this message. We need to start changing some of
these laws. On May 17th at about 6 in the
morning, we lost three lambs to coyotes,
but they killed the lambs for the fun of it! I
feel that if we don’t do something to try and
get this problem under control, we could
lose a big part of the agricultural industry.
And coyotes don’t just attack sheep like
some people say; my great grandfather’s
dog was viciously attacked. She’s an old
dog and she’s lucky to be breathing. Other
people, who live on Road B, have told us
about their dogs being attacked as well.
Coyotes are becoming brave enough to
come into our front lawn, so we fear for our
little lhasa apso.
Ground birds are also targets. Coyotes
kill turkeys, pheasants, and even our state
bird, the quail. Deer are also a victim of
coyote attacks. I for one like to see the deer
outside of our house grazing, but we won’t
be able to much longer if the coyotes drive
them away because they are being killed.
Coyotes will continue to gain more and
more courage until they start taking on
infants, toddlers and maybe even adults.
However, by that time, the coyote problem
could be too extreme to control. Something
needs to be done; let the farmers use
devices to help our livestock grow and be
strong.

Call it a slaughterhouse
To the Editor:
The Ukiah Daily Journal recently listed
20 items which would assist in water conservation. Those are good practical ideas.
Another good idea for the conservation
of water would be for Mendocino County
to prohibit industries which use enormous
amounts of water, destroy valuable land
and poison the ground water in surrounding
areas. One of these industries would be the
proposed “Meat Processing Plant.” This
slaughterhouse for 50,000 animals a year
should be correctly identified. A “meat processing plant” is a slaughterhouse is a
slaughterhouse is a slaughterhouse.

Parole not public’s decision
To the Editor:
District Attorney Meredith Lintott,
according to your paper, has encouraged
community members to express their opinion on the possible release of Gregory
Patrick Beck on parole. She apparently
intends to pass these opinions on to the
California Board of Prison Terms for their
consideration during parole hearings. The
very idea that such an important decision
about a person’s future be subject to an
opinion poll is outrageous to me. It reminds
me of the thumbs up/thumbs down vote on
life of early Christians in the Roman Coliseum.
Some of us may have read of his trial
and conviction in the newspapers, but few
have given the matter the depth of thought
necessary to decide such matter. We in the
community just do not have all the facts
needed to make such a judgment.
What was the defendant’s motive? What
was his psychological state at the time of
the crime? Did he have a previous history
of violent behavior? What is his present
psychological condition? What has been
his behavior while incarcerated? What
plans does he have for life after release?
Perhaps District Attorney Lintott
believes that merely hearing about his
heinous crime is sufficient for us to pass
judgment. If so, I must seriously question
her judgment. I have asked that she justify
her position publicly.

On unannounced
presidential candidates
If you need any more
indication that we start our
presidential elections much
too soon, look at the storm
over two people who haven’t
even said they’re going to
run. ...
Each day mass e-mails
are sent out to tell of the latest news about unannounced
candidate Fred Thompson.
And each day pundits speculate over when and where Al
Gore will jump into the
Democratic race for president.
It’s as if both Thompson
and Gore are waiting — and
maybe secretly hoping —
for the current field of candidates to implode, paving the
way for a new candidate to
emerge as a favorite.
Of course if Thompson
and Gore indeed plan to
enter the race but don’t handle this right, there will be a
lot of resentment among
faithful in each party.
They’ll also be behind in
fundraising. ...
The early start to the 2008
presidential election has driven a lot of this. But states
don’t help by bunching the
primaries so early in the
presidential election year. If
we grow tired of it all even
before 2008 gets here, then
something is wrong with the
system.

On price-gouging
Americans held a referendum on gasoline prices this
Memorial Day weekend and
voted by driving out of town
in record numbers. Their
verdict on prices running
$3.10 a gallon and higher:
They don’t like them but
they can live with them as
long as gas is readily available.
That should prompt the
Senate when it returns from
its own holiday to reject a
truly bad idea sent its way by
the House. This bill seeks to
dampen gas prices by criminalizing “price gouging.” ...
The bill contains penalties
of up to $150 million for
companies and up to $10
million and 10 years in jail
for individuals. ...
But since the Arab oil
embargo of 1973, the
Federal Trade Commission
and the Department of
Energy have investigated
more than 30 times, by one
count high gasoline prices
and have never found any
evidence of collusion,
manipulation or price fixing.
The culprit always turns
out to be supply and
demand, aggravated by such
factors as hurricanes, refinery fires, market misjudgments and Congress own
often-counterproductive
efforts to steer the industry
in directions it deems desirable.

On immigration
reform
The more debate we hear,
the more skeptical we
become that Congress and
the president have the capability to solve the political
quagmire that an estimated
12 million illegal immigrants represent. ...
At stake is the security of
America’s borders and the
very way this land of immigrants turns foreigners into
U.S. citizens. Our economy
is a key part of this debate as
well. ... President Bush sup-
ports the current proposed
legislation. ...
But aside from his signature, can he deliver enough
votes in Congress to make a
difference? ...
On Thursday, the Senate
unanimously backed requiring that illegal aliens pay
back taxes on earnings collected in the United States
while they were illegal.
Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid isn’t pleased,
saying the legislation would
create “a permanent underclass of people here to work
in low-wage, low-skill jobs,
but do not have a chance to
put down roots.” It’s a very
good point. And yet the dirty
secret of too many American
businesses today is that they
employ (knowingly or not)
illegal aliens who will do
anything to stay in this county. ...

On college rankings
Having just finished ranking the high-school seniors
who applied to their institutions — delighting some,
breaking the hearts of more
— a dozen colleges have
decided that they themselves
don’t want to be ranked, at
least not by U.S. News &
World Report. ...
Inevitably, some schools
are chagrined at being rated
in the third or fourth tier. It’s
sort of like being placed on
the waiting list, or worse,
being told you’re just not
good enough.
The most controversial of
the U.S. News and World
Reports indicators is peer
assessment — how the institutions rank each other.
Now 12 colleges ... say
they will no longer rank
other colleges and will provide the magazine only with
standard, publicly available
data.

Rich liberals who claim they'll help America's less
fortunate are phonies.
Let me give you one example -- a Democrat who
said he'd work on behalf of workers and the poor. He
even said he'd take on Big Business. But the truth is
that while he was saying those things, he was living in
a big house and had a pretty lavish summer home, too.
His favorite recreation, sailing, was incredibly elitist.
And he didn't talk like a regular guy.
Clearly, this politician wasn't authentic. His name?
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Luckily, that's not how the political game was
played 70 years ago. FDR wasn't accused of being a
phony; he was accused of being a "traitor to his class."
But today, it seems, politics is all about seeming
authentic. A recent Associated Press analysis of the
political scene asked: "Can you fake authenticity?
Probably not, but it might be worth a try."
What does authenticity mean? Supposedly it means
not pretending to be who you aren't. But that definition
doesn't seem to fit the way the term is actually used in
political reporting.
For example, the case of FDR shows that there's
nothing inauthentic, in the normal sense of the word,
about calling for higher taxes on the rich while being
rich yourself. If anything, it's to your credit if you
advocate policies that will hurt your own financial
position. But the news media seems to find it deeply
disturbing that John Edwards talks about fighting
poverty while living in a big house.
On the other hand, consider the case of Fred
Thompson. He spent 18 years working as a highly paid
lobbyist, wore well-tailored suits and drove a black
Lincoln Continental. When he ran for the Senate, however, his campaign reinvented him as a good old boy:
It leased a used red pickup truck for him to drive,
dressed him up in jeans and a work shirt, with a can of
Red Man chewing tobacco on the front seat.
But Thompson's strength, says Lanny Davis in The
Hill, is that he's "authentic."
Oh, and as a candidate George W. Bush was praised
as being more authentic than Al Gore. As late as
November 2005, MSNBC's chief political correspondent declared that Bush's authenticity was his remaining source of strength. But now The AP says that
Bush's lack of credibility is the reason his would-be
successors need to seem, yes, authentic.
Talk of authenticity, it seems, lets commentators
and journalists put down politicians they don't like or
praise politicians they like, with no relationship to
what the politicians actually say or do.
Here's a suggestion: Why not evaluate candidates'
policy proposals, rather than their authenticity? And if
there are reasons to doubt a candidate's sincerity, spell
them out.
For example, Hillary Clinton's credibility as a
friend of labor is called into question, not by her biography or lifestyle, but by the fact that, as The Nation
recently reported, her chief strategist -- a man Gore
fired in 2000 because he didn't trust him -- heads a
public relations company that helps corporations fight
union organizing drives.
And where do you start with Rudy Giuliani? We
keep being told that he has credibility on national
security, because he seemed so reassuring on Sept. 11.
(Some firefighters have condemned his actual performance that day, saying that rescue efforts were uncoordinated and that firemen died because he provided
them with faulty radios. "All he did was give information on the TV," said a deputy fire chief whose son
died at the World Trade Center. "He did nothing." And
the nation's largest firefighters' union has condemned
his handling of recovery efforts in the weeks following
Sept. 11.)
But he's spent the years since then cashing in on terrorism, and his decisions about Giuliani Partners' personnel and clients raise real questions about his seriousness. His partners, as The Washington Post pointed
out, included "a former police commissioner later convicted of corruption, a former FBI executive who
admitted taking artifacts from ground zero and a former Roman Catholic priest accused of covering up
sexual abuse in the church."
The point is that questions about a candidate
shouldn't be whether he or she is "authentic." They
should be about motives: whose interests would the
candidate serve if elected? And think how much better
shape the nation would be in if enough people had
asked that question seven years ago.

Once-dominant iceberg ‘Kick’ your life
lettuce gets cold reception into high gear
LOS ANGELES -- Iceberg
is your father’s lettuce: A big,
round ball wrapped in cellophane and ready to be torn
apart to top a burger or smothered under thick salad dressing.
It remains the nation’s
dominant lettuce, but consumers, chefs and nutritionists
are increasingly giving it the
cold shoulder as more varied
salad greens -- such as
romaine, arugula and mache - sprout on supermarket
shelves.
Faster shipping, better
packing and a growing taste
for nutrients have allowed
other greens to eat into its
market.
To lure back buyers, one
company is launching an outof-left-field effort that links
iceberg lettuce to baseball and
Father’s Day.
Salinas
Valley-based
Tanimura and Antle -- the
nation’s largest lettuce supplier -- is packaging its iceberg
lettuce this week in plastic
patterned with baseball stitching.
The family-owned grower
is also supplying recipes for
“wedge salads” -- a retro
steakhouse staple built around
a thick slice of iceberg lettuce
-- on baseball card motif
labels on the wrappers.
Grocers such as Wal-Mart
Stores Inc. and Supervalu
Inc.’s Albertsons, Shaw’s and
Jewel will be supplied with
signs and banners promoting
what the company hopes will
become an annual link
between iceberg lettuce and
Father’s Day.
Phil Lempert, a produce
industry analyst who edits the
Supermarket Guru Web site, is
skeptical about the connection. “I can imagine if a lot of
kids are bringing their fathers
a head of lettuce for Father’s
Day, they’re not going to be
very happy,” he said.
But reversing iceberg lettuce’s slide is no easy task.
“Iceberg lettuce has no
taste,” shopper Greg Matthew,
31, said as he picked up a container of mixed organic baby
greens, chard and radicchio at
a supermarket in Los Angeles.
“I prefer something that has
flavor.”
In 2006, 174,600 acres of
iceberg lettuce were harvested
in the United States, down
from 198,500 acres in 1998,
the first year for which U.S.
Department of Agriculture
statistics were available.
During the same period, the
amount of harvested romaine
lettuce increased from 36,450
acres to 61,000 acres. Green
and red leaf lettuce harvests
increased from 46,220 acres
to 71,100 acres.
“It’s the fundamental factors in life that people are
looking for things that are
more convenient and things
that are more nutritionally
dense,” said Jim Prevor, editor
of Produce Business magazine.
Iceberg lettuce got its name
from the ice-filled train cars in
which it was shipped by
California growers a century
ago, said Tim Chelling,
spokesman for Western
Growers, which represents the
California and Arizona produce industries.
Iceberg was the only variety of lettuce hearty enough to
survive the trip without being
damaged by the ice, he said.
More delicate greens were
consumed closer to the farms
where they were grown.
These days, refrigerated
trucks and other transportation
can preserve those greens.
Companies have even started
removing oxygen and adding
nitrogen to bags of mixed
greens to prolong freshness.
Consumers are discovering
that greener lettuces are
healthier -- and often better
tasting -- than pale spheres of
iceberg, Lempert said.
Romaine lettuce, for example, has six times as much vitamin C as iceberg and is richer in most other vitamins and
minerals, as well as having
higher protein and fiber value,
according to Texas A&M
University figures.
“Today we want more
nutrients, we want better flavor, we want more taste,”
Lempert said.

Yahoo weighs in on free speech in China
By DIKKY SINN
The Associated Press
Rights USA. The group is
suing Yahoo and its subsidiary
in Hong Kong. Also named is
Alibaba.com Inc., a Yahoo
partner that runs Yahoo China.
On Sunday in Hong Kong,
Shi’s mother, Gao Qingsheng,
insisted her son was innocent
and that the family would
press ahead with the legal
action.
“I believe my son is innocent. We will fight until the
end,” she told reporters.
The 61-year-old mother
was in South Africa last week
to receive the annual Golden
Pen of Freedom prize on
behalf of her son.
Plaintiffs in the American
case also include imprisoned
dissident Wang Xiaoning and
his wife, Yu Ling.
Wang was sentenced in
September 2003 on the charge
of “incitement to subvert state
power,” a vaguely defined
statute that the Communist
Party frequently uses to punish its political critics.
The Chinese government
said Wang distributed prodemocracy writings authored
by him and others by e-mail
and through Yahoo Groups, an
online e-mail community.

HONG KONG -- China
should not punish people for
expressing their political
views on the Internet, Yahoo
Inc. said Monday, a day after
the mother of a Chinese
reporter announced she was
suing the U.S. company for
helping officials imprison her
son.
Yahoo criticized China in a
brief statement that didn’t
specifically mention the case
of jailed journalist Shi Tao,
whose mother visited Hong
Kong on Sunday. Shi was sentenced to 10 years in 2005
after sending an e-mail about
Chinese media restrictions.
The company has acknowledged sharing information
about Shi with Chinese
authorities.
“Yahoo is dismayed that
citizens in China have been
imprisoned for expressing
their political views on the
Internet,” the company said in
the statement faxed to The
Associated Press, which asked
Yahoo to comment on Shi’s
lawsuit.
The Internet company,
based in Sunnyvale, Calif.,
also said it has told China that
it condemns “punishment of
any activity internationally
recognized as free expression.”
However, Yahoo added that
companies operating in China
must comply with Chinese
law or risk having their
employees face civil or criminal penalties.
Shi was writing for the
financial
publication
Contemporary Business News
when he circulated an e-mail
with his notes about a government circular about media
restrictions. He was convicted
of leaking state secrets.
Shi’s legal challenge, filed
on May 29 in U.S. District
Court, is part of a lawsuit filed
earlier

Q: As my husband and I - now 61 and 59 -- grow
older, we seem to be less
concerned with retirement
and more concerned with
staying in good health so we
will be able to not only take
care of ourselves, but also
assist our parents and other
seniors in our families who
have no one else to help
them. Then, of course, we
have our three children who,
it seems, will never quite get
out of the nest -- even though
two of them have gotten married.
We have read your column
for years and often wondered
why you did not write a
book. But since you obviously didn’t, we have been
searching for a good read that
will sort of put it all together
for us, given the fact that my
husband and I -- and many
others like us -- are like the
baloney between the slices of
bread that make up the
“sandwich generation.”
Thank you for the good
information you two have
delivered over the years that
has helped us and so many
others similarly situated.
A: We, too, have been
looking for a book that laid
out in an understandable yet
entertaining fashion the basic
steps required to deal with
the complexities that accompany not only aging, but also
“boomerism.”
Unfortunately, nothing is
simple anymore, especially
when dealing with the
Medicare system, IRA minimum distribution rules and
the declines and losses that
so often accompany the aging
process. But there is a ray of
light: A new book titled
“Alive and Kicking: Legal
Advice for Boomers” is one
of the best bets to help average people plot a course to
avoid the disasters that too
often occur.

Earnhardt to address his driving in the future
AP Auto Racing Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
Dale Earnhardt Jr. wants to
win championships, and
there’s no better place to do
that than at Hendrick
Motorsports.
The most frenzied free
agency in NASCAR history
will end Wednesday when
Earnhardt reveals where he’ll
drive next season, and all
signs point to Rick Hendrick’s
elite organization.
Hendrick, winner of six
championships since 1995,
currently fields cars for fourtime champion Jeff Gordon,
defending series champion
Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch
and Casey Mears. With all
four drivers under contract,
Hendrick told The Associated
Press last month he had “no
room at the inn” for
Earnhardt.
But a half-dozen people
familiar with the negotiations
— speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because
Earnhardt’s plans have not
been announced — said
Hendrick officials have been
working for nearly three
weeks to bring the star driver
into the fold. There were rumblings late Monday that
Busch, who is under contract
through 2008, has asked to be
released from his contract.
Asked if that was true,
Hendrick spokesman Jesse
Essex said, “We don’t comment on contractual issues.”
Busch was testing in
Milwaukee on Tuesday and
not available to
comment.
It’s unclear why
the
22-year-old
Busch would want
to leave Hendrick,
the most dominant
team in NASCAR with 10
wins through 14 points races
this season.
Busch has four career victories, one this season, and
made the Chase for the championship last year, finishing
10th in the standings. He’s
currently 10th, but has
wrecked a bunch of cars in
both the Nextel Cup and
Busch Series, and upset his
team at Texas in April when
he left the track without
telling anyone after an acci-
dent.
His crew patched up the
car, but with no driver to take
it back on the track, asked
Earnhardt to finish the race in
the No. 5 Chevrolet.
“Junior didn’t hesitate and
agreed, and it was a very
sportsmanlike gesture,” Alan
Gustafson, Busch’s crew
chief, said after the race. “It
says a lot about Dale and the
kind of person he is.”
It created rampant speculation that Earnhardt was headed to Hendrick, a rumor that
only intensified following his
May 10 announcement he will
leave his late father’s company at the end of this season.
He made the announcement at
his race shop, JR Motorsports,
same site of Wednesday’s
scheduled news conference.
Earnhardt spokesman Mike
Davis said only that the driver
will announce his plans for
2008 and beyond.
The announcement will end
the frenzied free agency period that ignited a whirlwind of
recruiting rarely seen in
NASCAR. The last five weeks
have been filled with nonstop
talk
regarding
where
Earnhardt would end up, and
he’s made shop visits and met
with various car owners while
trying to make a decision.
His criteria
for picking a
new team was
finding a place
he can win
championships
— Earnhardt has
17 career wins, but no Nextel
Cup titles — and remaining in
a Chevrolet.
It cut the list of contenders
to three front-runners —
Hendrick, Richard Childress
Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing
— and one long shot in Ginn
Racing.
The late Dale Earnhardt
won six of his seven championships at RCR, and Gibbs
has won three of the past six
titles. Bobby Ginn, in his first
full season as a NASCAR
team owner, has transformed a
midlevel team into a contender, but has no championships at his organization.
Childress, Gibbs and Ginn
expressed interest in signing
Earnhardt, but Childress never
seemed to aggressively pursue
Junior. He traded phone messages with Kelley Earnhardt
Elledge, who is handling the
negotiations for her brother,
and has been vacationing out
of the country for the last
week.
Gibbs officials have been
tightlipped about their contact
with Earnhardt, but have
made it clear they won’t
accept Budweiser, his longtime sponsor, because of conflicts with their family values
image. Then came word that
Toyota is courting Gibbs,
which is in the final year of its
contract with General Motors.
A possible manufacturer
switch would certainly eliminate Gibbs from contention.
Gibbs, reached Tuesday
through his other job as coach
of the Washington Redskins,

Continued from Page 6
declined comment. An assistant for team president J.D.
Gibbs said he was away all
week.
Ginn officials, who have
been ardent about their interest in Earnhardt, said Tuesday
they are not involved in his
announcement.
That leaves Hendrick, who
previously told AP the only
interest he had in Earnhardt
was an offer he had made to
assist with cars and motors if
the driver wanted to field his
own team out of JR
Motorsports. But, a week after
saying he had no room for
Earnhardt, Hendrick refused
to answer any questions when
AP asked if he’d changed his
mind.
NASCAR will only permit
car owners to field four teams
beginning in 2009, so
Hendrick first had to find a
spot on his roster to add
Earnhardt. Busch asking out
of his deal would create an
opening, but it’s no guarantee
Earnhardt will end up in the
No. 5.
It’s possible he could drive
the No. 25 that Mears currently pilots, with Mears moving
into the No. 5 opening.
Budweiser, which is willing to
follow Earnhardt to his new
team, sponsored the No. 25
for Hendrick during the
1990s.
Hendrick also has longtime
ties to Earnhardt’s family. He
fielded a car in 1983 for the
elder Earnhardt, who drove it
to a Busch Series win at
Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
That entry was co-owned by
Robert Gee, who is Junior’s
maternal grandfather.
Joining Hendrick’s stable
could anger Earnhardt’s rabid
fan base because it will team
him with Gordon, the one driver “The Red Army” generally despises. Earnhardt fans
have thrown beer cans at
Gordon following several of
his recent wins, most notably
victory No. 76, which came in
April
at
Talladega
Superspeedway and tied
Gordon with the elder
Earnhardt on NASCAR’s
career victory list.
Earnhardt condemned the
behavior, and urged his fans to
throw toilet paper instead of
beer cans — to no avail.

Oakland lineman on the move yet again
ALAMEDA — Tyler Brayton came
into the NFL as a defensive end, spent
almost two years at outside linebacker
and now lines up at defensive tackle.
By the time training camp rolls
around in July, the Raiders former
first-round draft pick hopes he’ll still
be there but isn’t taking anything for
granted.
“I don’t know what the deal is right
now, I’m just looking to carve out a
niche anywhere I can,” Brayton said.
“If I can get good at something and
stay good at something, I’d like to be
there for a while.”
Until now, the Raiders haven’t
given him much of an opportunity to
stay put. Brayton had a career-high 61
tackles as a rookie in 2003, starting 16
games at defensive end. The following
year Oakland moved him to outside
linebacker as part of the team’s failed
experiment with the 3-4 defense.
The 3-4 was junked in 2005 and
Brayton split his time between linebacker and end before going back to
end full-time last season. Even that
didn’t help, as Brayton was held without a sack for the first time in his
career.
His frustrations
boiled over during a
16-0 loss to Seattle
on Nov. 6 when he
was ejected in the
fourth quarter after
kneeing Seahawks
tight end Jerramy
Stevens in the groin
at the end of a play.
Brayton apologized
for the incident
afterward but was
still fined $25,000
by the NFL.
Now he’s back to defensive tackle,
a position Brayton played exclusively
during his senior season at Colorado.
The Raiders say they don’t have any
plans to move him around again.
“We didn’t want to flip him back
and forth and not get a real feel on it,”
Oakland coach Lane Kiffin said.
“Sometimes when
you go back and
forth, a guy doesn’t
get to really play at
the highest level at
that spot.”
The Raiders also
feel they are deeper at
defensive end so
moving
Brayton
inside made sense.
Derrick Burgess, who
set a franchise record
with 16 sacks in
2005, starts at left end
while Kevin Huntley
has been getting the reps at right end
during offseason workouts. Oakland
also picked up a pair of defensive
ends, Quentin Moses and Jay
Richardson, in the draft in April.
With starters Warren Sapp and
Tommy Kelly opting to skip this
week’s voluntary minicamp, Brayton
has been taking extra reps with
Oakland’s defense and acknowledges
he needs it. He also knows he’ll have
to add more weight to his 6-foot-6,
280-pound frame if he is to be an
effective player inside.
“It helps playing (tackle) before but
that was in college,” Brayton said.
“That was a long time ago. I’m not trying to get to be 300 pounds overnight,
which is a little bit unrealistic anyway.
I’m trying to put on what weight I can
before camp.”
Notes: WR Jerry Porter and C
Jeremy Newberry did not attend
Tuesday’s practice because of family
reasons, Kiffin said. Both are expected
back Wednesday.
SPURS 75 | CAVALIERS 72
Spurs take game three at Cleveland
By TOM WITHERS
AP Sports Writer
CLEVELAND (AP) — Rude and
ruthless, the San Antonio Spurs ruined
Cleveland’s 37-year wait to host the
NBA finals.
Unwelcome guests, they defied the
young King and may soon take home
another crown of their own.
Bruce Bowen, the defensive stopper, emerged as an unlikely offensive
star as the Spurs moved within one
win of their fourth championship in
nine years with a 75-72 win over the
Cavaliers on Tuesday night to take a
commanding 3-0 lead in the series.
And they did it with only two-thirds
of their Big 3 doing what they usually
do in one of the lowest-scoring games
in finals history.
Tony Parker scored 17 points and
Tim Duncan had 14, but Manu
Ginobili, who scored 25 in Game 2,
had just three — all free throws in the
final 10.4 seconds — to hold off the
Cavaliers and crush the hopes of their
towel-waving crowd, who had never
before seen their team play a finals
game in person.
Cleveland’s chances, and maybe
their last hopes of extending the season, ended when LeBron James, who
led the Cavaliers with 25 points, eight
rebounds and seven assists, was short
with a 3-pointer in the final seconds.
Bowen, who had just nine points in
the first two games, scored 13 and
Brent Barry made three 3-pointers for
the Spurs, who can all but plan their
victory parade as no team has ever
overcome an 0-3 deficit.
“It doesn’t change at all,” Duncan
said of the Spurs’ attitude. “We need to
get one more, and that’s it, however it
comes. We know they’re going to
come out this next game, they don’t
want to get swept.”
The Spurs can wrap up their third
title in five years with a win in Game 4
on Thursday night. If they do complete
the eighth sweep in finals history,
they’ll join the Boston Celtics, Los
Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls as
the only franchises to win four or more
titles.
The grind-it-out game tied for the
second fewest points in NBA finals
history, matching San Antonio’s 80-67
win over the New York Knicks in
1999.
James scored seven straight points
as the Cavs cut a 10-point lead to 6967 with 1:22 remaining on another
layup by Cleveland’s star. But Parker
countered with a 3-pointer before
Sasha Pavlovic hit a deep one for the
Cavs to make it 72-70 with 48.1 seconds remaining.
Parker, so dominant in Games 1 and
2, made a turnover but the Cavs failed
to capitalize. James, criticized early in
the playoffs for being too unselfish,
passed to Anderson Varejao and the
mop-topped Brazilian, nicknamed
“Wild Thing,” flung up a wild shot that
wasn’t close.
Ginobili was fouled, missed his first
throw but finally got something to fall
through the net to give the Spurs a
three-point lead. James again got to
the rim for a basket before Ginobili’s
two free throws gave San Antonio its
final margin.
The Cavaliers changed their starting
lineup as rookie Daniel Gibson
replaced Larry Hughes at point guard.
Hughes was bothered by a sore left
foot, but Gibson, who has emerged as
a star in these playoffs, didn’t help
much.
He went just 1-for-10 from the field
and missed all five 3-pointers, unable
to duplicate his 5-for-5 performance
when Cleveland captured the Eastern
Conference title in Game 6 against
Detroit.
Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 12 points
and 18 rebounds — 10 offensive —
for the Cavaliers, who were hoping
three straight games in their own
building could help them get back into
the best-of-seven series.
Instead, the Spurs have nearly
wrapped it up.
The Cavs eventually built an eightpoint lead without their superstar, but
the Duncan-less Spurs got 3-pointers
from Barry and Robert Horry, and
Parker hit one of his teardrop floaters
to put San Antonio ahead 40-38 at
halftime.
Wearing one of his popular sleeveless, black “Witness” T-shirts and silver sweat pants — ironically, Spurs
colors — James worked up a healthy
sweat while practicing 3-pointers,
mid-range jumpers and free throws for
30 minutes.
“It’s definitely a big game for us,”
James said in front of his locker. “It’s
either about changing the series
around or doing the impossible.”
And that’s just what the Cavs are
faced with.
Notes: James entered Game 3 with
the fifth-highest scoring average in
playoff history, trailing Michael
Jordan (33.4), Allen Iverson (30.0),
Jerry West (29.1) and Tracy McGrady
(28.8). ...

Growing Mac sales could get another CinemaNow
boost with iPhone and OS X upgrade to relaunch music
By MAY WONG
AP Technology Writer
SAN JOSE -- Apple Inc.’s
computer business may seem
like it’s taken a back seat lately to its flashy younger siblings, the iPod and iPhone, but
Macs are still a key part of the
family.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs is
expected to use his speech at
the
Apple
Worldwide
Developers Conference on
Monday to highlight the
upcoming release of Mac OS
X, showing that Apple
remains a computer company
even
after
dropping
“Computer” from its name in
January.
The slickness of its designs
notwithstanding, the key to
Apple’s success and reputation for ease of use is its software and how well it integrates with its hardware.
Millions of Microsoft
Windows users who don’t
own a Mac have now experienced Apple’s touch by using
iPods and managing their
music through the iTunes
jukebox program.
If it weren’t for his iPod,
Andy Ahmed would have
never bought a MacBook Pro
laptop last winter -- his first
Macintosh.
“The iPod opened my
eyes,” said Ahmed, of Foster
City.
The
wildly
popular
portable player cracked open
the door for many like Ahmed
to a computing platform they
would have never considered
in the past. Along with
Apple’s growing number of
gleaming retail stores and its
catchy “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC”
ads splashed across TV and
the Internet, the attraction to
Macs has never been stronger.
It’s not all hype either.
After years of relatively flat
sales, the number of Macs
sold started to grow significantly in 2005. Mac shipments jumped 38 percent from
3.3 million units in Apple’s
fiscal 2004 to 4.5 million in
2005. Then they climbed 17
percent to 5.3 million in 2006.
Analysts predict Macs will
continue
a
double-digit
growth rate, outpacing the
industry, as Apple gets a boost
from at least two more product debuts this year: the
iPhone on June 29 and the
operating system upgrade due
to be released in October.
The availability of the
upgrade to Mac OS X, dubbed
Leopard, was pushed back
from this spring because
Apple
diverted
some
resources instead to the
iPhone.
But Jobs made it clear he
wasn’t ignoring it either: “We
think it will be well worth the
wait,” Apple said in announc-
Ukiah
Daily
Journal

to Your
Door
ing the delay.
Apple won’t discuss the
“top-secret” features or other
products it might announce at
the Worldwide Developers
Conference, but it’s already
known that Leopard’s features
will include Boot Camp,
which lets users of Macs with
Intel Corp. chips install
Windows on their machines.
What remains unclear is
how Apple will integrate Boot
Camp and how much flexibility it will give users to toggle
between the competing operating systems.
A test version of Boot
Camp was introduced as a free
download a year ago and
appears to have contributed to
Mac sales already. Its planned
inclusion in Leopard could
lead Apple to more prominently market the feature and
win yet more converts, said
Charlie Wolf, who tracked
Apple as a Wall Street analyst
for two decades and now is
president of Wolf Insights
Inc., an investment consultancy.
Already, Apple says about
half of the computers sold at
its retail stores are to people
new to the Mac platform.
“Boot Camp removes a
barrier to switching,” Wolf
said. “It’s like an insurance
policy for Windows users.”
It certainly was for Ahmed,
a clinical research manager.
“I really had no idea Apple
products were so cool until I
started using the iPod,”
Ahmed said. But it was
Apple’s switch to using Intel
chips, which made the Boot
Camp feature possible, that
clinched the Mac sale for
Ahmed.
But Ahmed never even got
around to using Boot Camp.
He bought a Mac version of
Microsoft Corp.’s Office and
Apple’s presentation software
program, Keynote, and found
he was able to do all his work
that he used to do on his old
Windows-based computers.
“The interoperability is
great,” he said. “I don’t need
Windows anymore.”
At the San Mateo County
Community College District’s
three campuses, faculty aren’t
completely shunning their
Windows habits, but more of
them are signing up for Mac
laptops running Boot Camp
because it allows them to
work in either a Mac or
Windows environment, said
Brad Whitham, a supervisor
of information technology at
the district. In the past eight
months or so, the number of
Macs purchased for faculty
increased to about 50, up from
the typical 20 to 30 in previous periods, he said.
Apple’s computer sales
have risen despite often being
overshadowed by the spotlight
on the company’s soaring
iPod sales, and more lately,
the highly anticipated iPhone - a hybrid cell phone,
widescreen iPod and wireless
Web-browsing device that
will run Mac OS X.
Though iPod sales sizzled,
Macs still grew 18 percent in
revenue and accounted for 38
percent of Apple’s overall revenue in its fiscal year 2006,
ending in September.
“Macs are still central to
what they do, and I imagine
it’ll continue to be that way,”
said Richard Shim, a senior
research analyst at IDC, a
market research firm.
The release of Apple’s last
operating system upgrade in
2005 followed by new designs
and innards for its computers
helped push Apple’s Mac
sales from a single-digit
growth rate to double-digits
starting in 2005, he said.
“They’ve
meticulously
designed their products, their
retail stores are exciting to go
into, and their services are
designed to really help you,”
Shim said. “They’ve nailed
down the overall experience.”
Windows still dominates
the personal computer market,
The Original Sprayed On
Polyurethane Bed Liner
Pick-Em Up Truck Store
led by PC makers HewlettPackard Co. and Dell Inc., but
Apple’s slice of desktop and
notebook shipments has
grown, particularly in the
United States, its strongest
market. Apple’s share in the
U.S. rose from 3.5 percent in
2004 to 4.9 percent in 2006,
according to IDC.
Wolf said the continued
success of Macs will hinge
largely on Apple stores, where
computers prominently line
one side and iPods line the
other, allowing customers to
easily give the products a test
drive.
“The stores are playing a
really subtle but important
role in Mac growth in providing assurance to Apple switchers,” he said.
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene
Munster expects the iPhone to
accelerate Mac sales by introducing more people to Apple’s
software and featuring easy
connectivity to a computer,
possibly including its Apple
TV video-streaming set-top
box. He raised his target stock
price for Apple on Thursday
and predicted it could sell 45
million iPhones in 2009. His
report sent shares of the
Cupertino-based company to
an all-time high of $127.61
before closing that day at
$124.07, up 43 cents.
“When people get exposed
to Apple products, their interest in other products goes up,”
Munster said. “And the
iPhone is going to get into the
hands of lots of first-time
Apple customers.”
video download site
By GARY GENTILE
AP Business Writer
LOS ANGELES -Online movie download site
CinemaNow Inc. will revive
its 2-year-old effort to sell
music videos, hoping to fill
a demand for content to be
viewed on portable devices.
The company first
launched its “watchmusichere.com” site in 2005
with a small selection of
music videos. That site
never quite found an audience in part because the
portable media devices
being sold then also never
caught on.
With Apple Inc.’s iTunes
music store finding some
success in selling music
videos and the increased
number of portable devices,
CinemaNow has decided to
beef up its offerings and
will relaunch by featuring
videos from the Warner
Music Group.
“We were a little bit premature,” CinemaNow chief
executive Curt Marvis said
Monday.
The new site will offer
videos for $1.99. The files
are just below DVD quality.
Only one file needs to be
downloaded. It can be
transferred to a total of
three devices, such as a
desktop computer, a laptop
and a portable device running Windows Media software.

The videos will not play
on the popular iPod video
players or the upcoming
iPhone from Apple.
“This year, consumers
headed to the Web for
short-form content in record
numbers, and we see great
potential in music video
downloads,” Marvis said.
The relaunched site will
feature about 1,600 videos
exclusively from Warner
until July 21. After that,
additional videos from
Warner and from other
major record labels will be
added to the site, the company said.
Marvis said the files are
designed to look good playing on a larger screen as
well. Many portable players
can connect to a TV either
through a cable or a wireless connection.
CinemaNow not only
faces competition from
iTunes, but also from a
number of sites, such as
Yahoo Music, that stream
music videos for free.
Marvis said people, especially rabid fans, will want
to own higher quality versions.
“Because it’s only $2, it’s
kind of an impulse buy,”
Marvis said.

Google raises antitrust concerns about Microsoft’s Vista
By MICHAEL LIEDTKE
AP Business Writer
SAN FRANCISCO —
Internet
search
leader
Google Inc. is trying to convince federal and state
authorities that Microsoft
Corp.’s Vista operating system is stifling competition
as the high-tech heavyweights wrestle for the allegiance of personal computer
users.
In a 49-page document
filed April 18 with the U.S.
Justice Department and state
attorneys general, Google
alleged that the latest version
of
Microsoft’s
Windows operating system
impairs the performance of
“desktop search” programs
that find data stored on a
computer’s hard drive.
The Vista operating system, which became widely
available
in
January,
includes a desktop search
function that competes with
a free program Google introduced in 2004. Several other
companies also offer desktop search applications.
Besides bogging down
competing
programs,
Google alleged Microsoft
had made it too complicated
to turn off the desktop
search feature built into
Vista.
With its allegations,
Google hopes to show that
Microsoft isn’t complying
with a 2002 settlement of an
antitrust case that concluded
the world’s largest software
maker had leveraged the
Windows operating system
to throttle competition.
The
consent
decree
requires Redmond, Wash.based Microsoft to ensure its
rivals can build products
that run smoothly on
Windows — something that
Google says isn’t happening.

The company has also
donated $5,000 to Project

Hopeline program. Verizon
Wireless collects no-longerused wireless phones, batteries and accessories in any
condition from any wireless
service provider at its
Communications

nationwide.
Donated equipment is
recycled in an environmentally safe way or refurbished
and sold. Proceeds are used
to provide cash grants and
refurbished wireless phones,
with airtime, to local shelters
and non-profit organizations
to aid domestic violence prevention
and
survivors.
Project Sanctuary is the only
domestic violence organization in Mendocino County,
and serves more than 2,000

throughout Vista are hardwired to Microsoft’s own
desktop search product, with
no way for users to choose
an alternate provider,”
Google spokesman Ricardo
Reyes said in a statement
issued Monday.
In its own statement,
Microsoft said it already has
made more than a dozen
changes to address regulators’ concerns about Vista
and pledged to address any
other legitimate problems.
“While we don’t believe
there are any compliance
concerns with desktop
search, we’ve also told officials we are committed to
going the extra mile to
resolve
this
issue,”
Microsoft spokesman Jack
Evans said.
Justice
Department
spokesman
Eric
Ablin
declined
to
comment
Monday, citing confidentiality concerns.
Although he wouldn’t discuss Google’s allegations,
Connecticut
Attorney
General Richard Blumenthal
confirmed that several states
are taking a hard look at
whether Vista is affecting
the effectiveness of programs that aren’t made by
Microsoft.
“We really have reached a
turning point in the process
and expect to make a decision on how to proceed by
the end of the week,”
Blumenthal said in a
Monday interview.
Describing the Vista complaints as “troublesome,”
California Attorney General
Jerry Brown said he has
been in touch with the
Justice Department, other
state attorneys general and
technology industry representatives in an effort to
resolve the issue.
“Our goal is to provide
consumers using the Vista

Google, Intel launch
initiative to make
computers greener
By TERENCE CHEA
MOUNTAIN VIEW -- Google Inc., Intel Corp. and
a coalition of corporations and environmental
groups launched an initiative Tuesday to conserve
electricity and curb global warming emissions by
making the world’s computers, microchips and
servers more energy-efficient.
The Climate Savers Computing Initiative sets
ambitious industry targets to ramp up the energy
efficiency of computer gear over the next four years.
If successful, the plan would save $5.5 billion in
energy costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 54 million tons -- equal to the amount generated by 11 million cars or 20 large coal-fired
power plants -- by 2010, company officials said.
The initiative’s goal is to drastically decrease the
amount of electricity that computers consume.
Currently, the average PC wastes about half of the
electricity it consumes, while the average servers
doesn’t use about one-third, officials said.
Computer and computer gear makers that take
part in the initiative agree to design and manufacture products that meet its energy-efficiency targets. Other companies agree to stimulate the market for energy-efficiency computing gear by buying
products that meet those targets.
The initiative’s backers include Dell Inc., Hewlett
Packard Inc., International Business Machines
Corp., Microsoft Corp., Sun Microsystems Inc. and
Yahoo Inc. It’s also supported by the Natural
Resources Defense Council, World Wildlife Fund
and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

In a story Sunday, The

that the state attorneys general are more inclined to
press Microsoft to revamp
Vista than the Justice

A court hearing to review

the consent decree is scheduled June 26.

already established as the
Web’s most popular gateway, Google has been offering an array of additional
services that could become
the building blocks for a
Web-based computing platform that lessens the need
for Microsoft’s products.
Besides e-mail and instant
messaging, Google also is
distributing word processing
and spreadsheet programs
aimed at the Office suite of
software that has long been
one of Microsoft’s biggest
cash cows.
Google has been able to
offer most of its services
free because it makes so
much money from the ads
that it serves up alongside its
search results and other content published by the thousands of Web sites that
belong to Google’s network.
Hoping to siphon away
some of that revenue,
Microsoft has invested heavily in its own search engine,
which still ranks a distant
third behind Google and
Yahoo Inc.
Microsoft
engineered
Vista so its desktop search
and Internet search engine
would operate independently in an effort to avoid legal
problems, said Brad Smith,
the company’s general counsel.
“If we were creating a
feature in Windows and
somehow requiring people
to jump from our feature to
our Internet search, then I
could at least understand an
antitrust argument being
raised,” Smith said.
Google Chairman Eric
Schmidt has been a longtime
critic of Microsoft’s business tactics. After raising
antitrust concerns about
Microsoft in his previous
jobs at Sun Microsystems
Inc. and Novell Inc.,
Schmidt again has been on
the attack as he steers
Google.
Last year, the Mountain
View-based
company
reached out to the Justice
Department to raise alarms
about how the latest version
of Microsoft’s Web browser
threatened to make it more
difficult for computer users
to install the toolbars of
competing search engines.
Although regulators decided
not to intervene, Microsoft
subsequently modified the
way Explorer handled the
selection of search toolbars.
Before putting its most
recent misgivings on paper,
Google began discussing the
desktop search issue with
authorities last year.
Those talks were apparently touched upon during a
hearing in March when the
Justice Department said it
was investigating a claim
that Microsoft had violated
its antitrust settlement.
Without identifying the
complaining party, the
Justice Department said the
grievances were related to
“middleware,” or software
that links different computer
programs.
Google filed its written
complaint just a few days
after Microsoft publicly
urged antitrust regulators to
scrutinize Google’s planned
$3.1 billion acquisition of
online
ad
service
DoubleClick Inc. Microsoft
contends the deal will give
Google too much power
over the rapidly growing
online ad market. The
Federal Trade Commission
has opened a formal inquiry
into the matter.

Answer: Why the sports cameraman was fired —
HE LOST HIS “FOCUS”
Yesterday’s

Friendship entanglement has woman at wit’s end
Dear Annie: I have a friend, “Sally,” whom
I met through her boyfriend, “Harry.” The
three of us are part of a group of professionally connected people. Sally lives with Harry,
although he often spends months at a time
overseas.
I recently made friends with “Paul,” who is
nearly 30 years older and in a different profession, and I introduced him to Sally and Harry.
While Harry was out of town, Paul asked Sally
to accompany him to an event that many of us
were attending. Sally found the invitation
strange, but since she would have gone anyway, she agreed to be escorted by Paul. Sally
didn’t consider it a date, but Paul did, and he
told me Sally is fair game since her boyfriend
is out of town. I told him he is mistaken, but he
accused me of being jealous. It’s not so. I have
a boyfriend and am not at all interested in Paul.
Sally told me Paul recently asked her to
watch a movie with him at his house. She said
she finds Paul inappropriate, and she also
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
added that Harry is furious.
I talked to Paul on the phone and told him it
is improper to go after someone else’s girlfriend. He told me to mind my own business,
but I feel responsible, since I introduced Paul
into our professional circle. Since I find myself
in the middle, even though it’s not my business, what should I do? -- Uneasy in California
Dear Uneasy: You should tell Sally and
Harry that you think Paul’s behavior is totally
out of bounds and they are welcome to let him
know. That will remove any reservations they
may have that dealing with Paul will damage
their relationship with you. How they then
decide to handle it is entirely up to them.
WEDNESDAY EVENING
6:00 6:30 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:30 11:00
Dear Annie: Please tell me how a short,
bald man with below-average looks can get a
date? I am nearly 40 years old and have tried
everything from dance lessons to personal ads
to Internet dating to speed dating, etc. All the
girls I ask out tell me I am the nicest guy, but
“not their type.”
Other than being lonely, I am happy with
myself and with my life. I have a great family
and lots of money. I am told I am a great
dancer. I am athletic, in good shape and don’t
drink, smoke or take drugs. I also volunteer at
a hospice and a soup kitchen. I keep myself
neat, clean and well dressed, and I am a good
listener.
I am out with friends every night to fill the
void of being alone. They don’t understand
why I can’t get a date. My faith in God has kept
me going, but now I’m ready to give up. Are
some people just meant to be single? -- Lonely
in Connecticut
Dear Lonely: You sound like you have a lot
going for you. We know plenty of men who
don’t resemble Adonis, but who do just fine
with women. We aren’t sure why you are having so much trouble. What kind of woman are
you asking? Do you project confidence? Do
you have a sense of humor? Ask your closest
friends for brutally honest tips for making this
better, and listen carefully to what they tell
you.
Dear Annie: In response to your letter to
“Tummy Conscious in California,” sit-ups
have not been used (except as an advanced
exercise) for more than 30 years by therapists,
as they put too much pressure on the lumbar
spine, especially when performed incorrectly.
Stomach crunches are the recommended exercise for strengthening the muscles in the middle of the stomach. -- Fitness Therapist in
Newbury Park, Calif.
Dear Fitness: Most of us lump sit-ups and
crunches into the same category. Sit-ups
emphasize pulling on the lower back.
Crunches, by moving the shoulders, pull the
abdominal muscles toward the knees without
straining the back. Thanks for your expertise.

NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX DELINQUENCY
AND IMPENDING DEFAULT
Made pursuant to Sections 3351, Revenue and Taxation Code
(DELINQUENCY NOTICES PROVIDED)
I SHARI L. SCHAPMIRE, Mendocino County Tax Collector, State of
California, certify as follows:
That at 12:01 a.m. on July 1, 2007, by operation of law, any real property (unless previously tax-defaulted and not redeemed) for which taxes, assessments, and other charges levied for the fiscal year 2006-07
or supplemental taxes levied for any year prior to 2006-07 are delinquent shall be declared tax-defaulted. A detailed list of all property
tax-defaulted of July 1, 2007, and not redeemed prior to being submitted for publication, shall be published on or before September 8,
2010.
Real property remaining in tax-defaulted status for five or more years
will become subject to the tax collector’s power to sell. In the case of
property upon which a nuisance abatement lien has been recorded,
that property shall become subject to the tax collector’s power to sell
after three years of tax-default. In the case of real property that can
serve the public benefit by providing housing or services directly related to low-income persons when three or more years have elapsed
and a request has been made by a city, county, city and county, or
nonprofit organization, that property will become subject to the tax collector's power to sell. Once subject to the power to sell, real property
may be sold at public auction or otherwise conveyed to new ownership.
The owner may avoid the power to sell status by initiating and maintaining an installment plan of redemption prior to the date when the
tax collector obtains the power to sell the property or by completely redeeming the property through payment of all unpaid amounts, together with penalties and fees prescribed by law, before the subject property is sold.
The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject
to the power to sell, but it terminates at 5 p.m. on the last business day before the actual sale of the property by the tax collector.
Information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment
plan of redemption of tax-defaulted property will be furnished, upon
request, by Shari L. Schapmire, 501 Low Gap Road, Room 1060,
Ukiah CA 95482, (707) 463-4323.
I certify (or declare) under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true
and correct.
/s/Shari L. Schapmire
Mendocino County Tax Collector
Executed at Ukiah, Mendocino County, California, May 25, 2007
Published in Ukiah Daily Journal on May 25, June 1, & June 8, 2007
NOTICE OF IMPENDING POWER TO SELL
TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTY
Notice is hereby given that real property taxes and assessments on
the parcel described below will have been defaulted for five or more
years, or in the case of property on which nuisance abatement lien
has been recorded or can serve the public benefit by providing housing or services directly related to low-income persons, when three or
more years have elapsed and a request has been made by a city,
county, city and county, or nonprofit organization, that property will become subject to the tax collector’s power to sell . Parcels listed will become subjected to tax collectors power to sell on July 1st, 2007 at
12:01am by operation of law. The tax collectors power to sell will arise
unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to 5 p.m. on
June 29, 2007. The right to an installment plan terminates on June 29,
2007, and after that date the entire balance due must be paid in full to
prevent sale of the property at public auction.
The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the
power to sell, but it terminates at 5 p.m. on the last business day before actual sale of the property by the tax collector.
All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by Shari L.
Schapmire, 501 Low Gap Rd. Room 1060, Ukiah, CA 95482, (707)
463-4323.
The unpaid amount, in dollars and cents, originally declared tax-defaulted is set forth opposite its parcel number. This amount does not
include additional defaulted taxes, penalties and fees that have accrued since the date of tax-default.
PARCEL NUMBERING SYSTEM EXPLANATION
The Assessor’s parcel number (APN), when used to describe property
in this list, refers to the assessor’s map book, the map page, the block
on the map, if applicable, and the individual parcel on the map page
or in the block. The assessor’s maps and further explanation of the
parcel numbering system are available in the assessors office.
Property tax defaulted on July 1, 2002 for the taxes, assessments
and other charges for the fiscal year 2001/02.

School
Ukiah High’s graduation is
this Saturday and according
to high school officials, only
nine students in the senior
class did not pass the
required high school exit
exam and will not graduate
because of it.
As this year’s juniors look
forward to being next year’s
seniors, Vice Principal Dan
Stearns says he expects a bit
of a change.
“This (year’s) group of
juniors, they’re a large class
and they’re a loud class,” he
said with a smile. “They’re a
very outgoing bunch.”
They’re also going to be
pretty busy this summer.
Casey Cupples is ready to
start summer baseball league
and will soon start football
practice for the fall. In
between, he’ll work in his
father’s construction
business.
Rae Ford will be working
at Cold Stone Creamery this
summer dishing ice cream
“with all my friends and
stuff.”
Raise
Supervisor John Pinches,
who made the motion to adopt
the ordinance, said later during open public comment that
he voted in favor of the ordinance, which will bring annual supervisor pay from
$48,000 to $68,640, in hopes
of putting an end to controversy that has surrounded the
board’s ability to approve its
own pay raises.
“In the future, by tying it to
the Superior Court judges’
salary, it won’t be up to the
discretion of the board,”
Pinches said.
The board began seriously
discussing adjusting supervisor salaries nearly a year ago,
and while the topic was
broached at a handful of meetings, it went unresolved until
May, when interim Chief
Executive Officer Al Beltrami
proposed that supervisor pay
be set at a fraction of judges’
salaries.
Since the board’s salary
was set at $40,000 in 2000 on
a recommendation from the
1998-1999
Mendocino
County grand jury, supervisors have received two $4,000
raises -- one in 2002 and the
other in 2004.
To meet 40 percent of the
judges’ current $171,600
salary set by the state, the
board will initially receive a
43 percent raise, but those
who support the raise said
while the number sounds
large, it is necessary to make
board compensation commensurate with the work they do.
After the board voted to
adopt the ordinance, several
people affirmed the board’s
decision during public comment.
K.C. Meadows/The Daily Journal
A steady line of vehicles, driven by UHS seniors, left
the campus at noon Tuesday.
Robert Lee has got a job as
a counselor at the city of
Ukiah’s Safari Summer
Camp, where he likes the
working conditions.
“You get to be outside all
day and play games,” he said.
Justin Benninger has some
catching up to do with six
weeks of summer school in
computer careers classes this
summer -- “I don’t have that
big an attention span,” he
explains -- and then hopes to
spend time in the dunes on
his 4-wheeler.

“The
percentage
of
increase is very high, but the
salary has been way too low,
and it is time to make this
needed adjustment,” George
Reinhardt, of Fort Bragg,
said.
Miles Everett, of Caspar,
who used to work in community television taping government meetings across the
country, said a legislative
body that has responsibility
for more than $150 million a
year and 1,500 or more
employees should make more
money than the current salary.
“When I found out what
the Board of Supervisors
made in this county, I was
somewhat
shocked
and
appalled,” Everett said.
Rachel Binah, of Little
River, noted that supervisors
are required to make important decisions that affect all
county residents and should
be paid to do so.
“I support a raise in salary
strongly because I realize that
this job is very, very complicated, very intense and much
more difficult than a regular
9-to-5 job,” Binah said.
Some county employees,
however, feel the board’s raise
is inequitable to the 9.5 percent raise spread over three
years they received after protracted contract negotiations
in December. While none
spoke against the ordinance at
the board meeting Tuesday,
approximately 15 employees

that’s local area network

together and link up their
computers to play and

Rhinehart admits. For him,

Raff
questioned. Gunshot residue
samples were taken in the
interview room.
Raff is expected to take
the stand in his own defense
this morning. His attorney,
Public Defender Wes Hamilton, has declined to make an
opening statement.
Raff is on trial on charges
of murder in the Nov. 6, 2006,
shooting death of Larkin.
Police have alleged that
Raff drove from Arizona to
Ukiah to kill Larkin over her
pursuit of more than $85,000
in back child support payments.
Raff and Larkin were never
married, but had a daughter
together.
Raff is on trial for murder
with the special allegations
that he committed the crime
with a firearm, that he lay in
wait to commit the crime and
that he committed it for financial gain.
If convicted, Raff faces life
imprisonment.
