THE HERE COMES THE HEAT ISSUE

Parlor closed for now, plans to re-open

BY NICK TABOREK Daily Press Staff Writer

WILSHIRE BLVD The Parlor restaurant and

have added miles of bike lanes among other measures to promote bicycle commuting, Los Angeles has been stuck in the slow lane.

Good weather and a significant amount of flat terrain would seemingly make the city ideal for commuter and recreational bicycling. Its hilly areas are prized by competitive cyclists for challenging rides on canyon roads.

There is also a legacy dating back more than 100 years, when a wooden bikeway was built for commuting between Los Angeles and suburban Pasadena. The bikeway fell victim to the automobile and the route eventually became a freeway, but LA and its neighbors never fully gave up on cycling.

sports bar, which earlier this year was forced to reduce its operating hours after residents complained to the Santa Monica City Council the establishment was a nuisance — has closed for renovations but plans to re-open.

Residents who criticized The Parlor for attracting an unruly late night crowd to their once-quiet Wilmont neighborhood last week said rumors are swirling the business may close for good.

But on Friday, Silas Gaither, a part owner, said he plans to re-open The Parlor this fall.

“We’re just trying to do re-modeling and just get the place up and running for football season. That’s really all that’s going on,” he said.

Meanwhile, residents who had testified before the City Council that patrons at The Parlor would make noise, leave litter and urinate on private property while leaving the bar around 2 a.m., said a sense of calm has returned to their block.

“At night, it’s like the way the neighborhood was when I first moved in. It’s pretty amazing,” said Diane Krakower, who helped organize opposition to The Parlor.

In June, the restaurant and bar, located at 1519 Wilshire Blvd., was forced to begin closing at midnight on weekends and at 11 p.m. on weekdays, rather than at 2 a.m.

The council imposed the restriction as a stipulation in the establishment’s “conditional use permit.” Represented by land use attorney Chris Harding, The Parlor’s owners had said the restriction could run them out of business and argued the bar should be allowed to stay open until 2 a.m. like other similar establishments.

On Friday, Gaither acknowledged the new requirement was a blow to business.

“It’s very crippling,” he said, especially since bars like South and Busby’s in Santa Monica and Q’s Billiard Club in West Los Angeles can stay open until the state-mandated closing time. “It’s really unfortunate to

Accident turns Mayor Villaraigosa into bike backer DAISY NGUYEN Associated Press Writer

LOS ANGELES Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is the new champion of cyclists’ rights in the nation’s second-largest city, a conversion that came after a bone-breaking fall from his own bicycle.

The mayor, who said little on the topic during five years in office, is campaigning to make streets safer for cyclists after a parked cab abruptly pulled out across a bike lane, causing him to shatter an elbow.

The ill-fated ride was his first on city streets since taking office.

Since the July 17 accident, Villaraigosa has utilized the Huffington Post and YouTube to say that it’s time to recognize

that bicycles also belong on LA’s streets, which were largely designed for autos. In the YouTube video, he announced plans to convene a bicycle safety summit.

Cyclists who have tilted at LA’s car-crazy culture for years were shocked that the mayor was even on a bike.

“You could have knocked over any cyclist with a feather when we heard that,” joked Ted Rogers, author of the blog BikingInLA. Others in the activist bicycle camp remained beyond skepticism, dismissing the summit Monday in advance as a failure because it’s scheduled downtown during weekday work hours when they can’t attend.

Compared to cities such as New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., that

State schools to get $1.2B from federal jobs bill

‘Expendables’ earn top spot with $35M DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES Sylvester Stallone has proven that he’s not quite expendable yet at the box office.

Stallone and his pumped-up pals lifted Lionsgate’s 1980s-style action romp “The Expendables” to a No. 1 debut with $35 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

While the macho “Expendables” lured male audiences, Julia Roberts delivered a crowdpleaser for women with Sony’s “Eat Pray Love,” which opened at No. 2 with $23.7 million.

The previous weekend’s top movie, Sony’s cop comedy “The Other Guys,” slipped to third place with $18 million, raising its 10-day total to $70.5 million. The Warner Bros. blockbuster “Inception” was fourth with $11.4 million, lifting its total to $248.6 million.

Opening in fifth place with $10.5 million was Universal’s graphic-novel adaptation “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” starring Michael Cera as a slacker caught up in duels to the death with his new girlfriend’s seven evil ex-boyfriends.

"The Expendables” continued a boxoffice uptick for Stallone, who has had a career resurgence in recent years revisiting his past with fresh sequels to his “Rocky” and “Rambo” franchises.

The movie features such action stars as Jet Li and Jason Statham — along with cameos from Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger — in a tale of mercenaries aiming to overthrow a dictator.

It’s a throwback to the brawn and body counts of 1980s and ‘90s action, a genre whose top three stars were Stallone, Willis and Schwarzenegger. The cast also includes such actors with 1980s roots as Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren and Roberts’ brother, Eric Roberts, as well as wrestler Steve Austin, ultimate fighter Randy Couture and former NFL player Terry Crews.

“By combining all that star power, they really had a strong debut,” said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. “Maybe star power doesn’t work with just one star, but when you throw in a dozen, it really looked fun. In the action world, these guys are big names.”

Adapted from Elizabeth Gilbert’s bestselling memoir, “Eat Pray Love” stars Julia Roberts as a woman traveling the world in search of enlightenment after her divorce.

Lionsgate deliberately chose this weekend to open “The Expendables” since it would be aiming for a different audience than “Eat Pray Love.”

SAN FRANCISCO The state aid bill President Obama signed last week is expected to provide $1.2 billion to help California’s cashstrapped schools, but uncertainty over the state budget could delay plans to rehire laidoff teachers or restore school days.

The emergency legislation provides $10 billion to states to save or create estimated 160,000 education jobs, including up to 16,500 in California.

The Obama administration plans to begin distributing the education money to states later this month and wants school districts to use the money to retain and rehire teachers for the 2010-2011 academic year, which has already begun in some districts.

But California lawmakers and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger still haven’t reached agreement on a state budget for the fiscal year that began July 1, and there is no deal in sight, creating financial uncertainty among school districts.

“Districts are going to be reluctant to make any solid decisions about this money until they have solid information about what the state budget will contain,” said Rick Pratt, assistant executive director of the California School Boards Association.

The jobs bill is designed to prevent widespread layoffs of teachers and other public employees, but critics call it an election-year giveaway to public employee unions that are longtime Democratic supporters.

California submitted its application for its share of the $10 billion education fund on Friday, and is expected to receive the money within the next two weeks.

School districts have until September 2012 to spend the federal money, but the Obama administration is encouraging them to use the funds during the current school year, said Sandra Abrevaya, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Education.

The money can be used to hire, rehire or retain teachers, counselors, librarians, nurses, administrators and other school employees, as well as restore pay cuts and furlough days.

Bill Bauer

All about schools Editor:

Your Friday (Aug. 13, 2010) editorial praising the remarkable fundraising efforts of Save Our Schools was right on point. Yet it is important to recognize that perhaps $1,200,000 was raised after heroic efforts that are unlikely to be repeated. While this is a significant amount, it pales in comparison to the almost $6 million that the parcel tax would have raised every year for the next five years and, more importantly, the many more millions being withheld from the district by the state.

The narrow failure of the parcel tax and the continuing need for these funds is what has led to strong support for the city’s Use Tax proposal and, equally important, the companion Advisory Measure. If passed and implemented, this new revenue source will replace the $6 million that the parcel tax would have raised and help put our excellent local schools in a more stable and reliable financial condition for the long term. So let’s pass both measures and elect Council members pledged to dedicate one-half of the new funds to the schools and the other to public safety services. Local control of funds is the only way we can defend ourselves against the financial incompetence of Sacramento.

AZ boycott an immature choice Editor:

Santa Monica is part of California and California is part of the United States. The words United States infers entities that have chosen to be in relationship with each other. A relationship works best when everyone shows up and takes responsibility for their part in it. That means still showing up even if you don’t agree with everything the other half is doing, it means not turning your back on the other half. Enacting a boycott on Arizona is like refusing to take responsibility for our agreement in relationship. Instead we could listen to what Arizona’s concerns and fears are, we could try to work with them, through relationship, in finding a better way for them to address these concerns and fears.

Boycotting is refusing to take responsibility for our part in this. Arizona has been having certain troubles and the rest of the country hasn’t helped, so they over reacted. Lets end this bully tactic and work with our neighbors to make a better place for all to live.

SMRR’s maintains grip on politics

EDITOR IN CHIEF Kevin Herrera editor@smdp.com

MANAGING EDITOR

IN A FEW WEEKS, THE 2010 ELECTION

season will begin in earnest. Most serious candidates have been working on their campaigns for months and a lot of ducks are already in rows. I’m ready to see who’ll fly on Nov. 2.

The most interesting races will be for City Council and Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Board of Education.

Kevin McKeown has served 12 years on council, Bob Holbrook has been on the job 20 years, and Pam O’ Connor for 16 years.

The late Herb Katz and Ken Genser served 17 and 22 years respectively before their untimely deaths. They were recently replaced by appointees Gleam Davis and Terry O’Day who both desire to serve out their remaining (two-year) terms.

McKeown, O’Connor and Winterer have been endorsed by the powerful Santa Monicans for Renters’ Rights political organization for the four-year terms.

McKeown’s and O’Connor’s incumbency along with SMRR’s backing are big pluses as is Holbrook’s long history on council. The big question is which of these full-term candidates will be on the dais after election day.

At this point, with SMMR’s support, incumbency and financial contributions from individuals and special interests, it would seem that at least two out of the three incumbents, if not all three, will be re-elected. But, I see McKeown and newcomer Ted Winterer coming in first and second with Bob Holbrook beating out O’Connor for the third four-year council seat. My good friend Jeff thinks it will be McKeown, and O’Connor with Holbrook beating Winterer for the third seat. We’ll see who’s right Nov. 2.

At the school board, Oscar de la Torre has served eight years, Ralph Mechur three years and Barry Snell four years. At SMRR’s recent annual convention, members backed Snell and newcomer Laurie Lieberman. After the convention, SMRR’s steering committee added de la Torre, and Mechur to their slate. With strong backing from school supporters and contributions from her husband’s (land use attorney Chris Harding) business associates, Lieberman will be the one to beat in November.

Because of sharp criticism of the board’s lack of performance over the last four years, the flaps about district financial solvency, special education, gag orders, neverending unfair tax schemes plus the inability of de la Torre and Mechur to get a SMRR convention endorsement, their campaigns may — and should be — in big trouble. Present board chair, Barry Snell whose past includes multiple disciplinary actions by the state Board of Accountancy could face tough going.

After the steering committee’s “behind closed door" support of de la Torre and Mechur, SMRR co-chair Patricia Hoffman said the committee’s decision to back additional candidates who didn’t win outright endorsements was a vote of confidence in SMRR incumbents who have done a good job. Please, Patricia.

Chalk it all up to delusion because they, and

most other sitting board members, haven’t done a good job. Their mismanagement has endangered our public school system to its core. The only “good job” de la Torre, Mechur and Snell have done is maintain SMRR’s stranglehold on our schools’ throat.

Nevertheless, one or two incumbents will probably be re-elected. I’m still betting teacher Chris Bley, who didn’t seek SMRR’s endorsement and who ran strongly for BOE two years ago, will unseat an incumbent.

Perhaps Nimish Patel or one of three other challengers will also prevail.

CHALK IT ALL UP TO DELUSION BECAUSE THEY, AND MOST OTHER SITTING BOARD MEMBERS, HAVEN’T DONE A GOOD JOB.

CITY COUNCIL SQUANDERS $2M

City Council’s idealism may cost Santa Monica $2 million — and that’s just the beginning.

Last Tuesday, five out of six council persons seeking re-election rejected a $3 million bid by an Arizona company to provide 20 manufactured homes for the city-owned Mountain View Mobile Home Park. Mayor Bobby Shriver was absent.

Council had voted a few months ago to boycott Arizona as a protest of that state’s passage of a controversial illegal alien immigration law. “Putting their money where there mouth is” could cost City Hall $2 million more to purchase the mobile homes from a non-Arizona source says Housing and Economic Development Director Andy Agle — and endanger a federal grant for the replacement housing.

I don’t know about you, but if I want idealism, I’ll go to church. In the meantime I expect my elected representatives to do their proper fiduciary duty and spend taxpayer money prudently.

After throwing away $2 million — or more — than necessary to purchase the mobile homes, it would appear that council’s profligate spending is strictly designed to teach those “Arizona rednecks” a thing or two and we, not they, are paying dearly for it.

What sense does that make? Maybe Arizonians will boycott travel to Santa Monica. After all, turn about is fair play.

This squandering of resources is just one more reason to vote against City Hall’s upcoming half cent “transaction and use tax increase” measure. It’s also making me rethink about voting for some incumbents, especially with 10 challengers also vying for council seats.

Paying for quality of life

2202 OLYMPIC BLVD., SANTA MONICA A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE SANTA MONICA

City Council voted unanimously to place a measure increasing the sales tax by a half cent on the November ballot. The first question to be asked is why.

In a post Proposition 13 world, Sacramento has seen fit to rectify the state’s budgetary morass by raiding the coffers of local municipalities and in Santa Monica’s case, to the tune of tens of millions of dollars over the last few years with more to come.

Sacramento has slashed additional tens of millions of dollars from our local school district forcing the layoffs of teachers and staff with many more cuts on the horizon.

Santa Monicans are blessed with and have become accustomed to a great quality of life, whether it’s our world-class beaches and wellmaintained parks, cultural events like the Santa Monica Pier’s Twilight Dance Series or classical musical offerings by the Santa Monica Symphony, and rapid response times when it comes to police, fire, and paramedics.

We treat our seniors with dignity and assist the needy by helping Meals on Wheels. Santa Monica is a world-class city with its own water supply, bus system, and a great network of libraries. This quality of life is dependent upon the soundness of our general fund, which faces double digit structural deficits over the next several years. Our police department’s budget has already been reduced as have contributions to many agencies which have a direct bearing on how we live our lives.

Even with the passage of this half cent use tax, budget cuts will still need to be made.

There is a companion Advisory Measure on the November ballot whereby the projected $12 million in revenues from this tax would be used exclusively for things like police and fire as well as our local schools. Our local school district cannot raise the sales tax, only our city can. These dedicated funds cannot be stolen by Sacramento; they are raised locally to be used solely locally. There is a reason why our city has an AAA bond rating and it is precisely because our city leaders have been wise stewards of the money entrusted to them. This bond rating reduces the cost of doing business in contradistinction to Sacramento’s status which has near junk bond rating.

I am a local businessman so the ROI (return on investment) is important to me.

What return will we get from this modest investment? There is the obvious like the clean streets and good roads, and well kempt playing fields for our youth. There is the comfort that comes from knowing that I will get a quick response from our police when there is a threatening situation (and I can personally attest to this). Then there is the less obvious. Few people realize what a great impact our local schools have on our daily

lives. Good schools truly do make for a great community: both our current police chief Tim Jackman and his predecessor, Jim Butts, are on record stating that if our kids are in school (especially in afterschool programs which may be eliminated) then they are not on the streets, thereby reducing crime; we get a better educated workforce; we have a healthier populace and higher real estate values. According to a recent RAND Corporation study, the higher the level of education the lower the incidence of heart disease and diabetes. RAND also found a $100,000 differential per parcel between Santa Monica and adjacent Los Angeles because of our great schools. Another fringe benefit of our great schools and one which draws people to our community is that because Santa Monica High School has a 98 percent graduation rate versus 63.8 percent for LAUSD and because it is ranked in the top 200 schools academically in the nation, parents don’t have to spend $25-$35,000 a year to put their children in private schools.

THERE IS THE OBVIOUS LIKE THE CLEAN STREETS AND GOOD ROADS, AND WELL KEMPT PLAYING FIELDS FOR OUR YOUTH. It’s been bandied about in the press lately by some that “everyone I speak to is against it.”

First of all I question the accuracy of that statement, and secondly if one surrounds oneself with perennial naysayers the outcome is assured. With respect to the premise that people will shop elsewhere, for example at Costco in Venice, I for one already shop at Costco for bulk item grocery purchases, and the passage of this measure won’t affect my buying habits one iota (incidentally items like groceries and medicines are not taxed anyway). If I’m buying a $100 item am I really going to put up with the time, effort, inconvenience, and gas to drive to Westwood to save .50 cents when it will cost me more than that in gas?

Because Santa Monicans are thoughtful and intelligent, I firmly believe that they will see this measure for what it is, namely a way to protect the quality of our lives and maintain life as we know it. I would even go so far as to say that Santa Monicans could be encouraged to “Shop Locally” and would do so for the greater good and to help our local merchants.

Soy proponents argue, however, that consumers know the difference between soy milk and dairy milk, that soy milk is less fatty than dairy milk, and that NMPF’s efforts are a ploy to hurt the soy industry, which is rapidly gaining market share at the expense of dairy products.

Dear EarthTalk Is the dairy industry really trying to stop soy milk makers from calling their products “milk?” They must feel very threatened by the preponderance of soy milks now available in supermarkets.

National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF), a trade group representing dairy farms, petitioned the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to crack down on what it calls “the misappropriation of dairy terminology on imitation milk products.”

NMPF has been asking for such a ruling for a decade, and argues that the soy industry’s “false and misleading” labeling is now more common than ever.

According to NMPF president and CEO, Jerry Kozak, the FDA has let the issue slide so that the meaning of ‘milk’ and even ‘cheese’ has been “watered down to the point where many products that use the term have never seen the inside of a barn.”

Furthermore, Kozak adds, the use of “dairy terminology” on non-dairy products can lead people to think they are eating healthier than they really are, especially because non-dairy products “can vary wildly in their composition and are inferior to the nutrient profile of those from dairy milk.”

The website FoodNavigator-USA.com reports that on the other side of the Atlantic, the European Dairy Association (EDA) has also called for the term ‘soy milk’ to be replaced with ‘soy drink’. EDA also suggests other options including ‘soy beverage’, ‘soy preparation’ and ‘soy-based liquid’. It’s no wonder the soy industry isn’t quick to give up the milk moniker, given how catchy the

alternatives could be!

Jen Phillips of Mother Jones magazine takes issue with the dairy industry’s sense of ownership when it comes to terms like ‘milk’, ‘cheese’ and ‘dairy’. “The word ‘milk’ has lots of uses and has been used for non-dairy milks like coconut for a long time,” she reports, adding that consumers already know that soy milk isn’t dairy milk.

“Instead,” she writes, “the move to ban ‘milk’ from non-dairy products is a transparent ploy by the NMPF to hurt the soybean industry that, thanks to increasingly healthconscious consumers and ethanol production quotas, is growing stronger every year.”

She also disagrees with Kozak’s claim that dairy milk is healthier than soy: “Actually, soy milk and dairy aren’t that different nutritionally, except for that milk is fattier,” she says, explaining that a cup of vanilla soy milk has 30 fewer calories than a cup of two percent cow’s milk. And while dairy does have twice the protein, soy milk has 10 percent more calcium. “It’s a bit of a toss-up nutritionally, but I’m lactose-intolerant so I’ll choose the ‘milk’ that doesn’t make me gassy and crampy.”

Phillips adds that, since 90-100 percent of Asians and 50 percent of Hispanics — two of the fastest growing immigrant populations in the U.S. — are lactose intolerant, “NMPF might want to think less about fighting soy and more about how they’re going to deal with people who can’t drink milk to begin with.”

PARLOR FROM PAGE 1 be honest. No one really goes out in Santa Monica until at least 10.”

But he said there are no plans to close permanently, despite a message on The Parlor’s Facebook page that says it’s “closed until further notice.”

Councilman Kevin McKeown, though, last week said he’s learned that a restaurant broker has made inquiries at City Hall about submitting an application for a conditional use permit for the site on behalf of a different operator.

The broker, who was not named, “appeared to be marketing the space for an entirely new tenant,” McKeown said.

City Hall planners could not be reached for this article.

Gaither, though, said he’s making changes to the menu and sprucing up the decor in an attempt to boost business.

“We’re trying to make it work. We’re trying to survive. We’ll be all right,” he said.

But he added the experience with neighborhood activists and the City Council has been discouraging: “For three unhappy neighbors to be able to shut down a business is pretty scary,” he said.

BIKES FROM PAGE 1 In recent decades a bike path along Santa Monica Bay beaches has grown to 22 miles and one of Villaraigosa’s predecessors, Richard Riordan, spent two terms leading huge community bike rides.

Yet cyclists say riding in Los Angeles can be terrifying, as they jostle with cars and buses on tightly-packed roads.

“I’ve been spat at, cussed at, and knocked down in a road rage incident,” said William Cruz, 21, who commutes by bike about 20 miles a day. “It makes you paranoid at times.”

Cycling advocates believe more people would turn to pedal power if roads were safer. Frustrated by lack of progress, some have taken up guerrilla tactics by painting bike lanes and other cycling symbols on roads and street corners.

A group of cyclists once rode onto a major freeway interchange to zip through jammed traffic, and mass rides to demonstrate cyclists’ rights have frustrated motorists.

Others came up with a “Backbone Bikeway Network” — their own version of a citywide bike map designed to get around town faster on major corridors.

As neighboring cities such as Santa Monica and Long Beach provide bike valets, bike lanes and other improvements to encourage cycling, Los Angeles is starting to do the same.

This summer, the transportation department began painting “sharrow” markings on several streets after two years of study and delays. The markings are used to remind motorists to share the road where there is not enough room for a separate bike lane.

The city is also updating its bicycle plan, which envisions 1,633 miles of bike lanes, paths and routes. Cyclists, however, remain dubious.

The last plan called for 526 miles of bikeways, but so far only 354 miles exist — a fraction compared to the city’s 7,200 miles of roads.

Villaraigosa says the city needs to invest in bicycling infrastructure and focus on traffic safe-

FOR THREE UNHAPPY NEIGHBORS TO BE ABLE TO SHUT DOWN A BUSINESS IS PRETTY SCARY.” Silas Gaither Part owner of The Parlor

Gaither and his business partners recently opened a second bar, The Parlor Hollywood, on Melrose Avenue, adding to speculation the group may be planning an exit from Santa Monica.

If a new operator takes over at The Parlor’s location, McKeown said the owners would have to either obey the operating hours restrictions that are in place, or else submit a new application that would be subject to a public review.

“I can assure you the city staff has learned from The Parlor experience,” he said. nickt@smdp.com

ty enforcement to make streets safer for cyclists.

“We also have to have a cultural paradigm shift,” Villaraigosa said in an interview with The Associated Press. “We have to recognize that even in the car capital of America, drivers have to share the road.”

He plans public service announcements and will ask broadcasters to run bike safety messages.

About $3.2 million will be set aside for bicycle and pedestrian improvements in the 2011 fiscal year, he said.

The Los Angeles Police Department has already begun cracking down on motorists who don’t respect cyclists’ rights.

Recently, the department changed policy by assigning traffic officers instead of beat officers to investigate clashes between bikes and cars. Cyclists had complained that police refused to take reports if no collisions occurred, even when a motorist made a careless maneuver that caused a cyclist to fall.

The relationship between police and some cyclists remains far from cozy. In May, a mass ride in protest of BP’s Gulf of Mexico oil leak led to a confrontation with officers and a YouTube video appeared to show an officer kick at a passing cyclist. An internal investigation is under way.

Bicycling proponents are also upset that Villaraigosa did not press charges against the cab driver after his fall.

“He needs to be clear on who pays for that,” said activist Stephen Box. Villaraigosa said he was not in a position to decide whether the cabbie committed a violation.

“It was an accident. The Police Department may end up citing him, it’s not something I’m involved in,” he said.

Villaraigosa said he rode in his 20s and has occasionally biked by the beach.

“I knew the hazards that come with cycling in L.A. but I hadn’t been on the streets in a while,” he said.

The injury — and the eight new screws in his right elbow — are likely to be permanent. The mayor said he does not expect to regain full extension of his arm, but he expects to eventually get back on a bicycle.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Parking Structure No. 2 Seismic Retrofit Starting on Thursday, Aug. 5, the sidewalk in front of Parking Structure No. 2 will be closed to pedestrian traffic. There will still be access to businesses located to the north and south of the parking structure, but pedestrians will be directed to use the sidewalk on the west side of the street to get between Wilshire Boulevard and Arizona Avenue. The parking structure will remain open throughout construction, however the work requires temporary closure of up to 50 parking spaces per day. Also, 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. Please be sure to obey all posted directional and no parking signs throughout the construction project. Estimated project completion is December, 2010.

Alley Resurfacing Project The city will resurface alleys with asphalt in the 400 to 600 block of San Vicente Boulevard north starting Monday, Aug. 16 through Thursday, Sept. 3rd — daily work start time is 7 a.m. and end time is 4:30 p.m. Questions should be directed to the Public Works Street Maintenance Division at (310) 458-4991.

laid off teachers will get their jobs back.

San Francisco Unified School District hopes to rehire pink-slipped employees and restore the four instructional days it cut from the school year, but officials want to know how much state funding it will receive before taking action, said spokeswoman Gentle Blythe.

“It’s challenging for school districts when we don’t have a state budget because that’s where we get most of our funding,” Blythe said. “If the state budget looks worse than last year, being able to spread that money out next year would help prevent future cuts.”

Oakland Unified School District leaders, which is preparing to close seven preschool centers later this month, plant to make early childhood education a high priority when it decides how to spend the federal money, said spokesman Troy Flint.

SCHOOLS FROM PAGE 3 California education officials say the federal money will help blunt the deep budget cuts to education that have led to teacher layoffs, larger class sizes, shortened school years, and cuts to summer school and other academic programs.

“It’s not a panacea, but during these extraordinarily impossibly budget times, it will help,” said Jack O’Connell, California’s superintendent of public instruction. “This will provide a softer landing to districts facing a bleak budget picture.”

About 14,000 of the 26,000 teachers who received pink slips in March still haven’t been rehired, according to the California Teachers Association. It’s unclear how many of those

Protesters want Selig to move 2011 All-Star Game THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON Sunday’s game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Washington Nationals was briefly interrupted by protesters urging commissioner Bud Selig to move the 2011 All-Star Game from Phoenix because of Arizona’s new immigration legislation.

A man emerged from the left-field stands in the fifth inning and ran into short right field after Washington pitcher Stephen Strasburg grounded to short for the first out.

As security guards were about to subdue the man, a woman ran onto the field from the

right-field seats.

The two ran around the field, meeting in deep right-center, before they were caught by security.

As they were being escorted from the field, a man and a woman holding a banner protesting the All-Star Game in Arizona ran into right field.

Before they could display the banner, a security guard ripped it from their hands, tackling one of them. As they were taken into custody, a bedsheet banner reading “Bud Selig Move All Star Game No SB 1070” was unfurled from the facade over the batter’s eye in center field.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★ Clear out as much as you can right now.

You might need to screen your calls in order to accomplish today's goals. Supposed "news" has the opinions of others laced through it. You will need to ask some important questions. Tonight: Someone acts in an unexpected manner.

★★ You are able to detach when faced with a problem. Others sense there is an issue.

Right now, listen to others' opinions; you will have time to state your case should you decide to try. Tonight: Make having no plans OK.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ Others appreciate hearing from you.

You might feel tense about one specific call or relationship. Money matters could take an unexpected turn, which might not be bad. Be ready to spring into action. Tonight: Catch up on e-mail and calls.

★★★★★ Sometimes saying little and listening a lot is the best approach. You will discover that once you detach, you'll get more done and won't get into any petty issues. Someone close becomes amazingly more verbal. Tonight: Follow the music.

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.

An archaic 1922 law in British Columbia obligates adult children to support "dependent" parents, and in 2000, Shirley sued, demanding $350(Cdn) per month each from Ken, who is a trucker, and his four siblings (three of whom were at least 17 when the parents left and not considered "abandoned"). A judge awarded token interim support pending a final resolution, which after years of paperwork and delay was to come in early August but has been postponed once again.
