Samohi entrepreneurs headed to South Africa

BY DENNIS LIN Special to the Daily Press

SAMOHI Come late July, 11 students from Santa Monica High School will find themselves thousands of miles away from home, walking the streets of Cape Town, South Africa.

No, they won’t be clueless tourists who’ve arrived two weeks late for the World Cup. They know exactly what they’ll be doing: participating in their own similarlynamed international competition — the SAGE World Cup — where they will be tested not on their athletic ability, but on their entrepreneurial skills.

SAGE (Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship) is a non-profit organization that promotes entrepreneurship education and community service among high school students. With programs in nine states and more than 20 SEE ENTREPRENEURS PAGE 7

Man killed in early morning 405 Freeway crash THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES Authorities are looking for the SUV allegedly involved in an early morning accident that killed a 31-year-old man on the northbound 405 Freeway near Culver City.

Construction, which built much of Downtown Santa Monica’s housing supply, has failed to construct 52 affordable housing units it was required to build under an agreement the company entered into with City Hall.

As part of a deal that allowed JSM to build eight market-rate housing complexes Downtown, the company promised to build two, 26-unit deed-restricted affordable projects — one at 711 Colorado Ave. and one at 1514 Seventh St. But construction at those properties has halted, and the lots were sold in a foreclosure auction in April.

Despite the company’s failure to follow through on its commitments, five of JSM’s market-rate buildings have received final “certificates of occupancy” and today house tenants, a Daily Press investigation found.

Numerous attempts to reach JSM executives, including the company’s president, Craig Jones, were unsuccessful.

Robert Tourtelot, a lawyer representing Jones in a lawsuit filed against him by another developer, said his client is “working on a project in Indonesia” and was unavailable.

At City Hall, officials said they were working to acquire the affordable units they were promised, but admitted the deal they approved with JSM was flawed.

“The city is committed to getting the affordable housing units built and occupied — that’s our goal in all of this mess,” said City Manager Rod Gould.

Documents obtained by the Daily Press show JSM put up $1.1 million as security that the affordable units would be built — or about 2 percent of what it would cost to construct the 52 affordable apartments.

City Hall has not been able to collect even that amount, officials said, because the secu-

LAPD’s new $74 million jail left vacant THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES A massive Los Angeles jail that cost $74 million to build has remained vacant because the cash-strapped city can’t hire enough jailers to staff it.

The Los Angeles Police Department has little choice but to leave the facility idle because the city’s budget crisis has meant a hiring freeze, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The new 172,000-square-foot jail is labor-intensive to operate. Under one plan, the city would need to hire 44 new jailers to open the facility.

The new Metropolitan Detention Center boasts top-of-the-line technology, with

automated security doors and electronic fingerprinting stations. To cut down on overcrowding, the jail is divided into secure wings. The 500-bed facility has central air conditioning and skylights that flood the wings with sunlight.

The jail was built with funds from a measure approved by taxpayers in 2002, granting $600 million for improvements to police buildings.

The LAPD currently operates 10 jails for the roughly 120,000 people arrested and booked into custody every year in Los Angeles. Seven of the jails consist of a few cells inside police stations, and three are larger regional facilities in the San

Fernando Valley, South Los Angeles and downtown.

The old central jail downtown opened 60 years ago, and years of overcrowding have left it in dingy despair. Surveillance monitors are broken, and those that do work show feeds from cameras observing limited portions of the jail. The jail was built to house 151 beds, but currently holds 440, and tends to fill up on weekends.

Without central air, temperatures inside the dimly lit jail soar in the cells during the summer.

“You don’t want to come through here in summertime,” Capt. Clay Farrell, who oversees the LAPD’s jail division, told the Los Angeles Times.

SACRAMENTO As electronic highway billboards flashing neon advertisements become more prevalent, the next frontier in distracted driving is already approaching — ad-blaring license plates.

The California Legislature is considering a bill that would allow the state to begin researching the use of electronic license plates for vehicles. The move is intended as a moneymaker for a state facing a $19 billion deficit.

The device would mimic a standard license plate when the vehicle is in motion but would switch to digital ads or other messages when it is stopped for more than four seconds, whether in traffic or at a red light.

The license plate number would remain visible at all times in some section of the screen.

In emergencies, the plates could be used to broadcast Amber Alerts or traffic information.

The bill’s author, Democratic Sen. Curren Price of Los Angeles, said California would be the first state to implement such technology if the state Department of Motor Vehicles ultimately recommends the widespread use of the plates. He said other states are exploring something similar.

Interested advertisers would contract directly with the DMV, thus opening a new revenue stream for the state, Price said.

“We’re just trying to find creative ways of generating additional revenues,” he said. “It’s an exciting marriage of technology with need, and an opportunity to keep California in the forefront.”

Price said the devices also would cut costs by streamlining the distribution, activation and registration of license plates.

The legislative analysis of SB1453 does not include estimates of how much revenue could be saved or gained from license plate advertising.

At least one company, San Franciscobased Smart Plate, is developing a digital electronic license plate but has not yet SEE PLATES PAGE 8

Time to share the load, Malibu Editor:

Sara Wan, the Coastal Commissioner from wealthy Malibu, is a hypocrite.

Malibu, Santa Monica and other nearby cities have forced RVs and campers out and the only place left for them to go near the water is in Venice (see sign posted at the Malibu city limits).

Then Ms. Wan has the audacity to turn around and call the 200-plus RVs and campers in Venice a “social problem” and to vote against the City of L.A. implementing overnight restricted parking for residents 2-5 a.m. (an hour when hardly anyone wants to go to the beach anyway).

It’s time for Ms. Wan to practice what she preaches and have the Coastal Commission require her city to create street parking on PCH and residential streets for RVs and campers so her neighbors can also enjoy these instant neighbors, with all the related crime, drug and alcohol use, piles of trash, late night noise, loss of parking and dumping of human waste.

SMMUSD’s credibility takes yet another hit

Kevin Herrera editor@smdp.com

MANAGING EDITOR Daniel Archuleta daniela@smdp.com

STAFF WRITER Nick Taborek

WITH THE DEFEAT OF MEASURE A, THE

Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District’s $198 “emergency” parcel tax last month, emotions are running high. School supporters have been playing the “blame game.”

They think I’m a key reason for A’s defeat because of a series of columns critical of the district, its governance and Measure A. Malibu voters, who approved the measure by just a simple plurality, are also being castigated. In fact, anyone who spoke against the measure or the district is being villainized.

In all the demonizing, school supporters ignore the regressive nature of the measure itself and the public’s animosity directed against district administrators, the inept SMMUSD Board of Education and school cheerleaders for fostering a long history of fiscal and administrative mismanagement, endless tax schemes and flat-out refusing to implement even the most basic of desperately needed reforms and policy changes.

Nowhere has the situation become more contentiousness than with the district’s 15 percent “Equity Tax” on donations — currently under review for possible changes.

Promoted by former Superintendent John Deasy and approved by the school board about six years ago, it requires that 15 percent of gifts to the schools (with certain exemptions) be placed in an equity fund and redistributed on a “need-based” formula.

The board approves the fund’s disbursal.

The “Equity Tax” has fostered a heated controversy involving the Santa Monica Band Parents Association. The school board and superintendent reacted in what has become their typical way: behavior that alienates more and more residents, who increasingly distrust the SMMUSD and its cheerleaders.

Jean Sedillos, a long-time school volunteer who led the million-dollar fundraising effort to renovate Samohi’s Barnum Hall, wrote a lengthy editorial about the tax. She begins, “The Band Parents Association had not paid into the Equity Fund because their articles of incorporation prohibited them from spending money on anything but music programs.

“A group of hyper-aggressive parents calling themselves ‘Music Supporters’ (and I believe district administrators and at least one board member) wanted that money to fund an intervention program at Samohi.

They knew the Band Parents had the funds in a ‘rainy day’ account established by past directors to protect the program if the district cut funding,” she posted.

“Superintendent (Tim) Cuneo threatened that unless Equity Fund payments were made, he would ‘recommend that the [school board] no longer accept gifts from the Association.’ This would have shut down the marching band program, which cannot operate without funds parents raise and donate.”

Last summer, the association was billed and paid $48,468 — four years of Equity Fund payments — including 15 percent ($9,800) of the $65,390 paid for new instrument lockers for the band room. Sedillos pointed out to district administrators that the locker donation should not have been taxed, because their gift policy exempted donations to district capital programs.

Sedillos enlisted support from City Councilman Bob Holbrook, a former school board member who (as councilman) voted for millions in city money for the district.

They continued corresponding with administrators, “who refused to return the $9,800” and school board members, “who never got back to us.”

Frustrated, Holbrook and Sedillos presented their case directly to the school board at their Dec. 10, 2009 meeting. “They refused to discuss it,” she wrote. “When (board member) Oscar de la Torre asked why the capital programs exemption wasn’t applied to the lockers, then-school board President Ralph Mechur responded, ‘There’s a procedure question.’ Superintendent Cuneo quickly intervened and cited a ‘board policy’ that prohibited discussion on agenda items from members of the public … even clarifying questions of staff were not permitted… .”

Sedillos continues. “Holbrook and I knew that California’s public meeting law, the Brown Act, permits questions of staff on any agenda item. The rest of the board — presumably familiar with the Brown Act — jumped right into the charade.

“Kelly Pye kept repeating the phrase, ‘move forward.’ Jose Escarce said nothing.

Barry Snell said almost nothing. Ben Allen found both sides of the argument ‘compelling.’ Maria Leon Vazquez said that Holbrook and I had ‘no standing’ to bring the matter before them.”

Then it was over.

Sedillos reports that over the next two months, “We asked to see the board policy prohibiting discussion on agendized items from the public. We were referred to the board policy on meeting conduct, which of course contained no such no-discussion provision. That policy was created on the spot to suit the occasion,” she writes. And apparently, the agendas of certain administrators and school board members.

Sedillos’ piece concludes, “The $9,800 owed to the Band Parents Association pales in comparison to all the unethical behaviors associated with it… . But judging by reports from other parents and teachers, I believe secrecy, arrogance, and manipulation are the norm at the top of the district organization chart. We should not tolerate it.”

Amen!

Crews drill to halt Gulf leak RAY HENRY Associated Press Writer

ON THE GULF OF MEXICO Drilling crews are grinding ever deeper to build the relief wells that are the best hope of stopping the massive oil leak at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.

The crew of Transocean Ltd.’s Development Driller II was on track to pour cement starting early Sunday to firm up a section of metal casing lining one of two relief wells.

BP and government officials say the wells are the best option for cutting off the gusher that has spilled as much as 125 million gallons into the Gulf since the Transocean drilling rig Deepwater Horizon exploded April 20, killing 11 workers.

Back on land, coastal residents were infuriated by news that BP PLC CEO Tony Hayward was taking a break from overseeing efforts to stop the leak to watch his 52-foot yacht, “Bob,” compete in a race around the Isle of Wight off southern England.

“Man, that ain’t right. None of us can even go out fishing, and he’s at the yacht races,” said Bobby Pitre, 33, who runs a tattoo shop in Larose, La. “I wish we could get a day off from the oil, too.”

BP spokespeople rushed to defend Hayward, who has drawn biting criticism as the public face of BP’s halting efforts to stop the spill. BP is responsible for the cleanup because it was leasing the rig when it blew up.

"He’s spending a few hours with his family at a weekend,” said BP spokesman Robert Wine. “I’m sure that everyone would understand that.”

The PR gaffe — yet another in a series by Hayward and the company — ended what could have been a good week for BP. About 50 miles off Louisiana’s coast, a newly expanded containment system is capturing or incinerating more than 1 million gallons of oil daily, the first time it has approached its peak capacity, according to the Coast Guard.

BP hopes that by late June it will keep nearly 90 percent of the flow from the broken pipe from hitting the ocean.

It will likely be August before crews finish drilling the relief wells.

On the Development Driller II, one of two rigs working on the effort, BP wellsite leader Mickey Fruge said the well has reached a depth of roughly 5,000 feet below the seafloor. There’s still another 8,000 feet to go.

The other well is deeper, but drilling superintendent Wendell Guidry says it’s anyone’s guess which team will intersect the damaged well first.

"The main thing is, you know, we try to keep the guys focused,” Guidry said. “We’re just treating this like we treat any other well that we drill.”

Once a relief well intersects with the damaged well, BP plans to shoot heavy drilling mud down the well bore, then plug it with cement.

Meanwhile, Democratic Sens. Barbara Boxer of California and Bill Nelson of Florida said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” Sunday that they have asked President Barack Obama to give the Navy a bigger role in the efforts to clean up the spill, which are now being overseen by the Coast Guard.

But asked on “Fox News Sunday” if the Pentagon could be doing more to help stop the leak or keep oil from washing up on shore, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said no.

“We have offered whatever capabilities we have,” he said. “We don’t have the kinds of equipment or particular expertise.”

Also Sunday, U.S. Rep. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., released new internal BP documents estimating 2.3 million to 4.2 million gallons of oil a day could gush from the damaged well if all equipment restricting the flow was removed and company models were wrong.

The current worst-case estimate of what’s leaking is 2.5 million gallons a day.

The documents anticipate a scenario where the blowout preventer and other equipment on the sea floor were removed, which was never done.

BP spokesman Tony Odone said the documents were submitted to Congress before BP America President Lamar McKay testified in early May.

WASHINGTON The head of the new office set up to handle damage claims for the Gulf oil spill is pledging that all eligible and legitimate claims will be paid — and paid promptly.

Ken Feinberg, who’s the chief of the Independent Claims Facility, wants victims to come forward, file a claim for an emergency payment and then work with the

office to come up with a claims program.

Last week BP agreed to President Barack Obama’s request for a $20 billion compensation fund.

Feinberg dismisses one Republican’s description of the fund as a “shakedown.” He says he’s been getting bipartisan advice and that it doesn’t help to “politicize” the program.

Feinberg spoke Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

ON THE UPSWING: Banana production has long been known for its environmental and human rights abuses, which have included the use of dangerous pesticides, water pollution, deforestation and poor working conditions. But that is slowly changing thanks to the work of The Rainforest Alliance, the Sustainable Agriculture Network and other nonprofit groups.

Better bunches Dear EarthTalk Is it true that bananas are taboo for anyone who is concerned about rainforest destruction? Even if I seek out “fair trade” or organic bananas, am I feeding the demand which is causing rainforest to be cleared?

SADLY, THE SHORT ANSWERS TO THESE

SEARCH FOR US ON facebook.com office (310)

questions may be yes and yes for now, but that may change as the $5 billion banana industry slowly comes to terms with greener forms of production. Historically, growing the world’s most popular fruit has caused massive degradation of rainforest land across the tropics, spread noxious chemicals throughout formerly pristine watersheds, and poisoned and exploited farm workers.

“Banana plantations were infamous for their environmental and social abuses, which included the use of dangerous pesticides, poor working conditions, water pollution and deforestation,” reports the Rainforest Alliance, a New York-based nonprofit that has been working to improve worker and environmental conditions in the industry since 1990. “Pesticide-impregnated plastic bags, which protect bananas as they grow, often littered riverbanks and beaches near banana farms, while agrochemical runoff and erosion killed fish, clogged rivers and choked coral reefs.” Also, the proximity of housing to banana fields, coupled with lax regulations for pesticide handling, led to frequent illness among workers and people living near the plantations.

But help is on the way, largely thanks to the pioneering work of the Rainforest Alliance, which certifies as sustainable those banana farms and plantations that meet certain criteria for responsible farm management set by the Sustainable Agriculture Network, a coalition of non-profits striving

to improve commodity production in the tropics. As a result of the program, some 15 percent of all bananas sold internationally now come from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms. The group is especially proud of its agreements with two of the largest growers, Favorita and Chiquita. All of Favorita’s farms in Ecuador and all of Chiquita’s farms in Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and Panama are certified sustainable under the program.

While the Rainforest Alliance’s success is certainly a step in the right direction, other groups bemoan the fact that even certified plantations are on land that was once tropical rainforest. According to Rainforest Relief, Americans should still avoid purchasing bananas altogether and instead opt for fruit grown locally, such as apples, peaches, cherries or pears. The group is hopeful, though, that its work with farm cooperatives growing organic bananas under the shade of a diverse forest canopy in Costa Rica can eventually drive the larger international banana market toward better land use and worker safety standards.

“These growers are for the most part farming only small portions of the land they own or control, the rest being left as montaña — undisturbed forest — to keep their flowing water fresh and keep healthy the wildlife that ‘works’ their farms with them,” reports Rainforest Relief. The group has been working to develop secondary markets for bananas that may have been bruised during harvest or transport but which can still be used for baby food, vinegar and other applications that don’t require unblemished peels. Some of these products are marketed to tourists in Costa Rica while others are sold in the U.S. — look for the Rainforest Farms brand, among others — at Whole Foods and other natural foods retailers.

HOUSING FROM PAGE 1 rity JSM put up was in the form of a lean against the properties where the affordable units were to be constructed, which were sold at auction to pay back other creditors.

The situation has caused officials to question the process they followed in approving the deal with JSM. “There could have been a better type of security, and in a larger amount,” said Andy Agle, director of housing and economic development.

However, he said the problem wasn’t a failure to follow the rules, but rather the rules themselves.

Under City Hall’s formal guidelines for projects like the JSM deal, a developer is able to get final permits for a market-rate housing project even if its affordable-housing component hasn’t yet been built. All the developer has to do is prove that construction on the affordable units is underway and provide some type of security at least equal in value to the “in-lieu fee” the developer would be charged for opting not to provide the affordable units.

In the JSM deal, those conditions were met, Agle said.

The in-lieu fees, though, happen to be far less than the cost of building actual housing units. City Hall encourages developers to build affordable housing units rather than pay the in-lieu fees, Agle said, by rewarding those who choose to build affordable units themselves with a faster, simpler approval process for their market-rate projects.

Since JSM received administrative approval for its projects, the City Council was not required to vote on the deal.

Agle said the JSM episode raises concerns about the practice of allowing developers to open their market-rate projects before completing their affordable housing commitments under any circumstances.

“I think we’re going to want to have the council review the guidelines and look at [whether there are] opportunities to tighten them up and as well ask this question about the timing,” he said.

He declined to discuss City Hall’s strategy for obtaining the affordable units, citing the possibility of litigation, but said he’s optimistic the owners of the market-rate projects will be required to meet their commitments.

“If ultimately we failed to get the affordable units, then I think we’ve lost an important public benefit, but I’m not giv-

For Samohi to capture another world championship — the school placed first at the 2006 SAGE World Cup in Shanghai — Jones and her team will likely have to outshine a Nigerian squad that has won the competition each of the past three years. As many as 14 other countries, including Brazil, China and Ukraine, will send two teams each — one national champion and one runner-up — to Cape Town.

Each team will give a 13-minute presentation highlighting its student-run business ventures and community outreach projects before answering questions from a panel of judges.

Evaluation criteria range across 10 areas, from entrepreneurship to civic engagement to environmental responsibility.

The Samohi team’s projects include 3-Tier, a venture in which students offer parking, ushering and concessions services at local events; Seflora, an on-campus flower company; Tote-a-lly Awesome, a company selling eco-friendly tote bags; and a high school student chapter of the League of Women’s Voters.

Students like Gabriela Velazquez, a member of the Samohi team, were turned on to SAGE by first participating in individual projects. In Velazquez’s case, becoming a financial manager for 3-Tier was just the beginning.

“Because I started with one thing it led me into doing everything else, and I got more and more involved in every single project we have,” Velazquez said.

Jessica Santiago, another member of the team, pointed

ing up on that at all,” he said.

City Attorney Marsha Moutrie said her office is prepared to sue in order to compel JSM and its partners in the deal to provide the affordable units, but added she hopes it won’t come to that.

“All the parties … need something from the other. The city needs the affordable units and the owners of the marketrate properties need various city approvals. [So] all parties have reason to cooperate with one another,” she said.

For some officials, JSM’s failure to follow through came as a surprise in part because of the company’s long history of successful projects.

JSM pioneered infill residential development in the downtown area in the 1990s, helping rejuvenate the city’s commercial core by building housing close to the Third Street Promenade, which debuted in 1989.

According to its website, JSM has built or entitled as many as 1,500 apartment units in Downtown Santa Monica, 300 of them deed-restricted for low-income tenants.

The completed projects, most of them located on Fifth, Sixth and Seventh streets, fulfilled a goal at City Hall, where officials have long encouraged residential construction that is close to transit, jobs and services as a way to cut down on auto emissions and protect existing neighborhoods from condo development.

Councilman Kevin McKeown, an advocate for affordable housing, said the city’s policy of encouraging low- and moderate-income housing Downtown has largely been a success, the problem with JSM not withstanding.

“The few problems we do have should be looked at in the context of a very aggressive and highly successful affordable housing production policy that has succeeded in diverting demolitions away from established neighborhoods,” he said.

JSM’s business model of entitling several market-rate projects at once and consolidating each building’s affordable housing requirement into a separate project had for years seemed rock solid. So officials were caught off guard when the real estate bubble burst and several JSM properties ended up in foreclosure.

McKeown said decision makers at City Hall had grown comfortable with JSM — and especially with Jones.

“People saw Craig riding around Downtown in his electric golf cart. He was part of the community, and people trusted him,” he said. nickt@smdp.com

out that SAGE encompasses multiple ventures.

“You’re basically in SAGE without knowing it,” Santiago said. “I’m part of Seflora, and we have a UCLA business competition that’s part of SAGE. It’s all together for SAGE.” The team will need to showcase all of its ongoing projects at the international competition. Even after winning a national championship, it won’t be an easy task.

A primary concern will be the presence of judges from foreign countries.

“We will have to change our wording because the United States is both revered and loved and hated and despised at the same time,” Jones said, adding that the team will need to take on a more global perspective in its presentation.

Fortunately for the Samohi team, one of its biggest challenges is already out of the way. With one month until the students and their two advisers — Jones and fellow Samohi teacher Anita Kemp — board a plane headed east, they have already reached their goal of raising the $54,000 needed to cover the expenses of the trip.

As of one week ago, the team had raised less than half that total. Then last Tuesday, the City Council approved $12,000 from its discretionary fund to help cover travel and housing costs for team members.

Jones credited the rest to donations from local residents and entrepreneurs as well as the team’s own efforts through 3-Tier events and other fundraisers.

With the first major obstacle out of the way, the team can now look forward to the competition itself.

“I expect to see a different perspective on the world,” said Santiago, who has never been outside North America. “I think that’s why [SAGE] is such a great organization because it’s not just about winning. It’s not just about the competition.”

Jones feels the trip will help the students further understand the value of the real-life lessons gained from participating in SAGE. “Our standard of living [in the U.S.] is this high because of entrepreneurship and free enterprise,” Jones said.

Added Kemp: “I think it’s one of the best things that has happened here at Samo.” news@smdp.com

Santa Monica Boulevard Resurfacing – Phase I & II Sidewalk replacement, gutter and alley construction is scheduled to take place on Santa Monica Boulevard between Lincoln and Cloverfield boulevards, resulting in intermittent lane closures and temporary access restrictions to alleys connecting to Santa Monica Boulevard.

The construction schedule is subject to change without notice based on weather conditions.

Parking Structure No. 2 Seismic Retrofit The parking structure will remain open throughout construction, however the work requires temporary closure of up to 50 parking spaces per day. From approximately July 1, traffic leaving Parking Structure No. 2 will not be able to exit onto Second Street.

Instead, all exiting traffic will be re-routed through the alley behind the structure.

Estimated project completion is December of 2010.

Parking Structures at Santa Monica Place Parking Structure 7 will be completely closed until August 2010 for construction improvements. For construction questions, please contact Dan Griffin at (310) 3946000. For alternate parking location questions, contact Frank Ching at (310) 458-8295.

PLATES FROM PAGE 3 reached the production stage.

Reached by e-mail Friday, the company’s chief executive, M. Conrad Jordan, said the legislation provides an opportunity for the state to harness some of the creativity and technical expertise of its private sector.

Jordan said he envisioned the license plates as not just another advertising venue, but as a way to display personalized messages — broadcasting the driver’s allegiance to a sports team or an alma mater, for example.

“The idea is not to turn a motorist’s vehicle into a mobile billboard, but rather to create a platform for motorists to show their support for existing good working organizations,” he said.

The bill would authorize the DMV to work with Smart Plate or another company to explore the use and safety of electronic license plates — a process that would include consultations with the California Highway Patrol, Price said.

CHP spokeswoman Fran Clader said the agency has not take a position on the legisla-

tion. A spokeswoman for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he also will remain neutral until the bill reaches his desk.

Any cost associated with the initial research would be borne by the company, not the state, Price said.

The DMV would be required to submit its findings and recommendations to the Legislature by Jan. 1, 2013.

The bill has received no formal opposition. It passed unanimously through the Senate last month and is scheduled to be heard Monday by the Assembly Transportation Committee.

Other measures scheduled to be heard in the Legislature this week: ■ Bicyclists would be the latest group prohibited from using hand-held communications devices on the go, under SB1475 by Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto. The bill would extend the state’s handsfree requirements for drivers to bicyclists and strengthen the penalties for violators. In addition, driver’s license exams would have to include a section on the dangers of cell phone use and text-messaging while operating a motor vehicle. The bill is scheduled to be heard by the Assembly Transportation Committee on Monday

French players refuse to train JEROME PUGMIRE AP Sports Writer

KNYSNA, South Africa A draw, a loss, a tantrum and now chaos for Les Bleus.

France’s World Cup team refused to train Sunday in protest of striker Nicolas Anelka’s expulsion from the squad, prompted by a profanity-laced tirade against coach Raymond Domenech the day before.

The latest round of turbulence also led to the resignation of France team director JeanLouis Valentin, who said he was fed up with the team.

“It’s a scandal for the French, for the young people here. It’s a scandal for the federation and the French team,” Valentin said.

“They don’t want to train. It’s unacceptable.”

Before getting in a car and driving off, he added: “As for me, it’s over. I’m leaving the federation. I’m sickened and disgusted.”

Tensions boiled over after the team arrived at training and got off the bus to greet about 200 fans who had gathered there.

Domenech, whose tactics and management skills have been questioned, stayed on the bus to talk to France captain Patrice Evra.

Meanwhile, fitness coach Robert Duverne was on the field putting down training cones. After Domenech and Evra got off the bus, Evra and Duverne started to argue.

Domenech tried to intervene, but Duverne then stormed off, throwing his accreditation down the field.

"Everyone in the whole world is mocking us now,” winger Franck Ribery said on television hours before training even started.

“I’m gutted, because we’re not playing foot-

ball any more.”

Afterward, Domenech read a statement he said was written by the players to explain their protest: “The French Football Federation did not at any time try to protect the group. They took a decision uniquely based on facts reported by the press. As a consequence and to show our opposition to the decision taken by officials of the federation, all the players decided not to take part in today’s training session.”

Evra and the players, en masse, boarded the team bus and drew the curtains.

French sports minister Roselyne Bachelot said “the indignation of the French is great” and that she had spoken to French President Nicolas Sarkozy about it.

In their first two matches at the World Cup, France drew 0-0 with Uruguay and then lost 2-0 to Mexico. France can still advance to the round of 16 with a win over host South Africa, as long as Uruguay and Mexico don’t draw in the other Group A match.

Christian Teinturier, vice president of the federation, was stunned by what happened. He had objected to Domenech remaining as coach after the European Championship two years ago, when France went out at the group stage.

“I confess that I understand nothing,” he said. “We’re in another world here. French football is in a catastrophic situation.”

For Swiss coach Ottmar Hitzfeld, France’s behavior was bewildering.

“What can I say? If something like this happens, I am going to say bye. This is where our paths part,” he said.

Events and people could change rapidly. If you are single, your high charisma attracts many people. Don't commit unless you are absolutely sure. Even then, you still might want to wait.

If you are attached, the two of you will need to flex. Your sweetie transforms in front of your very eyes.

GETTING STARTED

SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S PUZZLE

There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing.

Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

TM

• Fill the grid with the set of given numbers (1 to 12) to satisfy the Equa demands (7 to 24) in the shaded boxes. The Equa demands represent the sum of the digits that you will insert into the empty squares.

• Each horizontal row has one Equa demand to satisfy; each vertical column also has one demand to satisfy. Each empty square in the grid dictates the math operation (addition +, subtraction -, multiplication X, and division ÷) that must be performed to meet the demands.

• You must follow the given math operations for each square and you must make sure all the numbers satisfy the demands in the shaded boxes when connected in adjacent threes and calculated together from left to right, and top to bottom.

• The numbers you insert into the grid must satisfy the Equa demands both horizontally and vertically.

■ Catholic Youth Organization coach Michael Kman, 45, was charged in May with various misdemeanors regarding an alleged attempt over a severalmonth period to fix kids' basketball games for Kman's Our Lady of Lourdes church team in East Pennsboro Township, Pa. According to police, Kman sent multiple text messages to referees Jay and Jon Leader, offering them as much as $2,500 if certain games reached the "right outcome."

The Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg has suspended Kman from coaching. In Kman's day job, he is a financial consultant.

■ In May, Britain's Norfolk District Council banned the traditional barroom game of "dwile flonking" just as the inaugural "world championships" were to take place at the Dog Inn pub in Ludham, Great Yarmouth. The game, which some believe has been played since "medieval times," calls on players to fling a beer-soaked rag from the end of a small stick toward the face of an opponent, and in the event the tosser misses the target two straight times, he must quickly down a half-pint of ale. The council called the game a "health and safety" problem.
