Absent the rumble of a gas guzzlingengine, Assemblyman Das Williamscruised silently out of Graham Chevroletyesterday behind the wheel of a shinynew Volt.The Volt gets 93 miles to the gallon

when in electric mode, and 37 whenusing only gasoline. It can run purely onelectricity for 25 to 50 miles dependingon traffic. It is one of about a dozen electric vehi-

cles expected to be on the market by2012. As gas prices rise, eclectic vehiclesare also on the upswing. Williams is the first local elected offi-

cial to drive an electric vehicle, andmembers of the press where invited tosnap photos of the politician smilingcoolly behind his fresh, environmentallyfriendly ride. But despite the attention, Williams

said the event went beyond mere public-ity stunt.“It’s just an opportunity to highlight

and encourage alternative technologies,”Williams said. “I don’t have any illusionsthat me buying it will save the world anymore than anybody else buying it.”Williams, a former two-term Santa

Barbara City Councilman, has a long his-tory of protecting the environment.Williams, who grew up in Isla Vista,fought for higher water quality testing,more solar panels for development proj-ects and more funding for alternativetransportation while on the City Council.Williams, whose Toyota Prius is “on

the verge of death,” said he waited for anAmerican-made electric model toemerge. The vehicle will add toWilliam’s collection of carbon reducingmodes of transport. He assured everyonethat he will still be seen busing, biking,or wheeling around on his electric tricy-cle. “I look forward to having a vehicle

that gets even farther with way less gas,”Williams said. It will help the localpolitician on lengthy trips to the capital,he said, and he is always saddened byfilling up his gas tank.“It comes from funding folks killing

our kids over seas,” Williams said.“There would be less war if we workedtoward less dependency on foreign oil.”Michael Chiacos, transportation spe-

cialist at the Community EnvironmentalCouncil, said the exciting thing aboutnew electric models is that they are threetimes more energy efficient than gasengines.

“That’s the great take away,” Chiacossaid. “You use less gas mileage and elec-tricity is a cleaner energy than fossilfuels.”Electric cars reduce green house gas

emissions by an estimated 75 percent, hesaid.A couple hundred people in the Santa

Barbara and Ventura area currently ownelectric cars, and Chiacos said the CEC isworking with government, businesses,and utilities to build a charging infra-structure of 50 locations countywide by

the end of the year. Currently these loca-tions are scarce; Chiacos said there aremaybe two or three in the city. “People are environmentally progres-

sive here,” he said. “They’re interested innew green technologies.” SouthernCalifornia Edison recently ranked SantaBarbara among the top four in their 180city territory for early adopters, he said. Chiacos also mentioned that the car

also appeals to the large number of

Eight city council candidates squared off ina forum held by LatiDems, a new activismgroup dedicated to creating a unified front forinforming and advocating Latino issues in theSanta Barbara community.The candidates addressed issues affecting

the Latino community that ranged from graceperiods for impounded vehicles to district elec-tions.Candidates agreed on some topics univer-

sally. While enthusiasm for the issue varied, allcandidates said grace periods for driverscaught without a license should be considered.Several candidates supported state legislationbeing considered that would allow some graceperiod.“It needs to be uniform,” former council

member Iya Falcone said. “Otherwise you candrive from the city of Santa Barbara to thecounty, to Goleta, and back out to the countywithout knowing what the rules are.”District elections drew divided opinions.

Councilman Randy Rowse felt it opened thecity up to gerrymandering “shenanigans” andfelt neighborhood associations or even councilliaisons could serve the same purpose.Falcone said putting in districts could dis-

rupt Santa Barbara’s small-town society andcreate even bigger rifts between the communi-ties.“If we start cutting up the city this way I’m

afraid you’re going to have confrontationsbetween the Eastside, Westside, the Mesa, andSan Roque,” Falcone said.Others believed a lack of district elections

have led to feelings of disenfranchisementwith City Hall. Community activist and MilpasCommunity Association co-founder SharonByrne, said the MCA came together becausethe neighborhood felt like it wasn’t being rep-resented.She added that having the council members

elected at large meant only candidates withtime and money can make a serious bid for thecouncil.“That is not leading to a council that is an

accurate reflection of who lives and workshere,” Byrne said.

17 hurt at U.S.-Mexico crossing(Reuters) - A roof collapsed at the San Ysidro border cross-

ing between Mexico and the United States on Wednesday, pil-ing debris on lines of cars, injuring at least 17 travelers and con-struction workers and closing lanes to northbound traffic.The world's busiest border crossing -- linking Tijuana,

Mexico with San Diego, California -- has been undergoing a$600 million upgrade since February that aims to more thandouble its capacity.Scaffolding supporting the roof collapsed across several

lanes at 10:45 a.m., the U.S. Customs and Border Protectionagency said. It was not clear whether the collapse was linked tothe expansion work.

U.S. blames BP for Gulf spill(Reuters) The United States heaped the lion's share of blame

for the country's biggest ever offshore oil spill on BP onWednesday as the government issued its final assessment of lastyear's Gulf disaster.In a report that may be pivotal in the multibillion-dollar legal

battles to come and could set the stage for criminal charges, theCoast Guard and the offshore oil regulator said BP was solely toblame for 21 of 35 contributing causes to the Macondo wellblow-out that led to the leak, and shared blame for eight more.After the most definitive look yet at the disaster, investigators

said BP focused excessively on containing costs and speedingup operations, and made a series of decisions that complicatedcementing operations, which they said were the central cause ofthe disaster.

Fear in Kabul after 20-hour Taliban siege

DAILY SOUND STAFF REPORT

Draeger

KABUL (Reuters) - A marathon siege in Kabul's diplomaticenclave ended on Wednesday with the killing of two gunmenwho had fought off Western and Afghan forces for 20 hours andshowered rockets on embassies in a dramatic show of insurgentstrength.The duo were the last survivors of a squad of about 10 sui-

cide fighters who launched the longest and most wide-rangingattack on the Afghan capital since the Taliban were ousted frompower in 2001.The battle near the U.S. embassy and three suicide attacks

other parts of the city were a stark reminder of the militants'resources and reach as foreign forces start to return home.At least 11 civilians were killed, more than half of them chil-

dren, said General John R. Allen, the commander of NATO andU.S. forces in Afghanistan. Five policemen also died.He dismissed the raid as a military failure but conceded that

the hours of explosions and fierce gun battles, which angeredand frightened Kabul residents and grabbed headlines aroundthe world, were a propaganda victory for the Taliban."I'll grant that they did get an IO (Information Operations)

win," he told reporters, using a military term for perceptionsand public relations.

The insurgents had holed up in a part-built multi-storeybuilding and launched their attack on Tuesday afternoon by fir-ing rockets toward the U.S. and other embassies and the head-quarters of NATO-led foreign forces.U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker said six or seven rockets hit

inside the embassy perimeter during the early hours of theattack but the range meant they had not posed a serious threat."They were firing from at least 800 meters away and with an

RPG (rocket-propelled grenade) that's harassment. That's notan attack," he told journalists in Kabul.Three suicide bombers also targeted police buildings in other

parts of the city on Tuesday afternoon.The U.S. and British embassies and the NATO-led coalition

said all their employees were safe.The attacks took place as foreign troops start handing over

security responsibilities to Afghan forces to pave the way for afull departure of NATO-led combat soldiers by the end of 2014.President Barack Obama has promised to withdraw 10,000

U.S. troops by the end of the year and another 23,000 by theend of next summer. Other nations are mapping their own exits.But violence is at its worst since U.S.-backed Afghan forces

toppled the Taliban government in late 2001, with high levelsof foreign troop deaths and record civilian casualties.

The other night a friend of mine said she wasstruggling with an issue with her boyfriend.“He isn’t being generous with me,” she said. “I

cook for him and I make sure I always have food helikes and nice wine at my house, but he never bringsmuch and he doesn’t take me out.”It turned out that her boyfriend’s business is

struggling and he was too upset to tell her. The rea-son I bring it up is that they are far from being alonein facing this problem. It is being faced by millionsof American couples. The fact is if you are a single woman in this

country, there is a better than a 10 percent chance that yourboyfriend is, or soon will be, unemployed. A far greater per-centage of single men are underemployed. According to government statistics, single adult males are

the most likely to suffer long-term unemployment in America.Surprisingly, the greatest percentage is men between the

ages of 40 and 65.For those men who want to work, and that is most of this

group, this is a devastating situation. This isn’t about a man’s‘ego’ by the way; it is about something far deeper and funda-mental. Theoretically, men of this age should be nearing theheight of their earning potential, knowledge and leadershipabilities. Instead, many have been unable to find work for ayear or more. Even those who have prepared properly for acareer are struggling.A single man with a college degree is as almost as likely to

be chronically unemployed right now as one who never fin-ished high school.When women first hear that their partners are struggling

economically, they often experience three, stair-step thoughts,according to psychologists. First comes a ripple of empathy.“Everybody goes through rough patches, it will be okay.”Second, a question emerges. “Why didn’t he tell me?”Third, a disturbing and very secret thought: “What if he can’tturn things around, what if he isn’t able to provide, should Ileave him?” The third thought answers the second question. Nearly

every man knows this intrinsically.Even most women who have good jobs and can support

themselves economically, prefer that their mate be able to pro-vide.Just as women are told by ‘society’ that they must be beau-

tiful, successful and able to juggle family matters, men are

judged every day by how prosperous they are.You are what you make.Most men find it almost impossible to escape that

overriding and dominate expectation. If you ask awoman to describe her husband or boyfriend, one ofthe first descriptors will almost always be what hedoes for a living. You’ll hear, “He is a doctor,” not, “He is a great

guy who loves his kids and gives back to his com-munity.”Ladies, please don’t get defensive here, I’m not

blaming or criticizing anyone, I am simply trying toshare something that is true.All I’m trying to say is when a man is out of work – or

underemployed – it is not only an economic hardship, it canbecome a terrible psychological issue for him. Maybe the daywill come when men and women are judged solely on theircharacter, but it has not come, yet.Meanwhile, we’re stuck with a downward economy, and

that has put enormous pressure on millions of relationships,especially those where the man is struggling financially.The only advice I could give was, if you love and believe

in the guy, stay understanding and supportive. We’ll all getthrough this somehow.***You might want to check out the Karpeles Manuscript

Museum tomorrow evening about 6:30. Original work byPicasso, Modigliani, Toulouse-Lautrec, Renoir, Matisse and avery intriguing American artist by the name of GastonLongchamp will be on display. Some good folks I know,Leslie James and Diane Stevenett, are showing off thesebeguiling paintings.

PARENTING

She’s sleeping, her head resting on my lap as Itype. Her breathing deep and the sound of sleepmixes with the click clack of the keyboard.There’s something so serene about watching a

sleeping child that all people, especially parents,know. Tonight as bedtime approached I was easily con-

vinced for what we call “extra snuggles.”For Fia this means a little later bed time and for me

it means, curling up on the couch together.It’s a proposition I rarely refuse. I pretend not to

get too excited when she suggests it, but I know Ican’t turn her down because there’s really nothingbetter, than having your child fall asleep in your arms. Just watching Fia sleep has always amazed me.

There’s something so innocent, so sweet so perfect about it.As a newborn, as most babies do, Fia slept a lot. She’d wake,eat and sleep some more. 5 years later it’s hard to imaginethose times, but the sight of her sleeping never gets tiresome.Now, at the end of the day, she quiets her body and mind.

She drifts off and the peaceful stillness replaces the endlessmotion of a busy 5 year old. The rhythm of her breathreplaces the endless chatter. Her day has ended. Her sleep however, is not always restful. I know. Friday

nights in our house are “Sleepover Fridays.” The Husbandand I alternate who gets to have a sleepover with Fia. Wemake up the bed in the guest room and it turns into a littlemini slumber party. I love those nights. I love, the extra timetogether, the fun little conversations between the two of us

and the sweetness of being with her as she sleeps. But, those nights also can mean, being kicked,

pushed at, dodging flailing arms and being wokenup in the middle of the night by her one-sided con-versations. As quiet as she seems to be, she canalso be, at times, equally restless. To her, those nights aren’t restless at all. We’ll

wake in the morning, I’ll ask, how her sleep wasand more often than not, her response is “it wasgreat.” No memory of the thrashing. No memoryof me moving her over. No memory of her sittingup and talking and even no memory of her sneez-ing 6 or more times in a row. To her, it was justanother great sleep, just as it should be.But as she sleeps now, it is a great. She’s quiet.

She’s peaceful. She’s beautiful. There’s just something magi-cal about it. I sit and stare. Mesmerized. I know I’m not alone. All parents look over their children

when they sleep. We’ve all taken countless pictures of thosemoments. We’ve all experienced the pure love of looking attheir peaceful faces.For me, as I look at Fia, all the frustrations of the day wash

away and my patience returns. All the times when it seemslike it’s all too much have passed and as she rejuvenates herbody, I too rejuvenate.

U.S. in criminal probeof eBay employeesSAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - U.S.

prosecutors have launched a criminalprobe into whether eBay Inc employeestook confidential information from clas-sified ad website Craigslist as eBaysought to build a rival service, a copy ofa grand jury subpoena obtained byReuters shows.The two companies have been feuding

for years in civil court over allegationsthat online giant eBay took a stake inCraigslist and then misappropriated con-fidential information while it secretlyplanned its own classifieds site.The subpoena seeks information

regarding several eBay personalities,including founder and Chairman PierreOmidyar and Joshua Silverman, the for-mer Skype chief executive who served aseBay's representative on Craigslist'sboard.An eBay spokeswoman, Amanda

Miller, said the company would cooper-ate in any inquiry related to the disputeswith Craigslist.

"EBay believes that Craigslist's alle-gations against eBay are without merit,"Miller said in an email on Tuesday. "Wewill continue to vigorously defend our-selves, and we will aggressively pursueour claims against Craigslist."EBay shares traded at $29 on Tuesday

in after-hours trading, down from their$29.40 close.Last year, a Delaware's Chancery

Court judge ruled that Craigslist proper-ly removed an eBay representative fromits board. The judge also ruled thatCraigslist could not dilute eBay's 28.4percent stake in the company.Miller said allegations of misconduct

were leveled by Craigslist as a defense inthe Delaware case, and the court did notrule in Craigslist's favor on the defense.Craigslist representatives did not

respond to an email seeking comment.RJ Hottovy, an equity analyst at

Morningstar, said there could be implica-tions for VP-level executives.

"While these are serious allegations, Idon't think it's too big of a concern forinvestors," Hottovy said. "Classifieds area smaller part of eBay's business."The subpoena -- issued by a federal

grand jury in San Jose, Calif., last weekon behalf of the U.S. Justice Department-- seeks an array of information and doc-uments.Many of the requests in the subpoena

match word for word language in anoth-er civil lawsuit filed by Craigslist againsteBay. That litigation in a San Franciscocourt is ongoing.EBay launched classified ad service

Kijiji in the United States in 2007.In 2005, "Omidyar requested informa-

tion about Craigslist's approach to addingnew cities as well as advance notice ofplans to launch in new cities," the sub-poena says, seeking documents about theallegation.Omidyar could not immediately be

reached on Tuesday.

“techy people” in the area. Beyond the futuristic appeal of beingelectric, the car can also synch with a phone to alert when it isdone charging or to program charges.Williams said that this component could also save money and

the environment, because users could program to charge duringoff hours, such as late at night, when electricity is cheaper andis a heavy mix of alternative energy. Though obviously impressed by the car’s gas savings and

environmental friendliness, Williams indicated that the Volt ful-filled more than a green agenda for him.“They really didn’t make it pared down and boring,” he said,

and joked that the most important feature was the fold downfront seat with ample room behind to fit his surfboard. But perhaps the car’s, sleek, cutting edge look and advanced

technology also appealed to Williams on the basis of being a bitof an admitted sci-fi nerd. He said he’s been a fan of sci-fi sincehe was a kid, and never imagined the day he would drive a carlike the Volt.

Obama hardens tone in push for his jobs billRALEIGH, North Carolina (Reuters) - President Barack

Obama sharpened his rhetoric on Wednesday in a push for his$447 billion jobs package, even as polls showed Americansskeptical of the plan and Democrats' loss of a congressionalseat raised new questions about his political strength.In the latest stop on what has become a "pass this bill" tour,

Obama used a campaign-style rally to press his warning toRepublicans not to let election politics delay action on his pro-posals to reduce chronically high U.S. unemployment."You need leaders who will put country before party,"

Obama told a cheering crowd at North Carolina StateUniversity in Raleigh. "The time for gridlock and games is

over. The time for action is now."Obama and the Republicans -- all looking toward elections

in November 2012 -- are locked in their third major budget bat-tle of the year, after a near-shutdown of the government inApril, a last-minute deal to avert a government default inAugust and negotiations now over the president's jobs plan.Battle lines have been drawn around familiar turf: Obama

wants to raise taxes on wealthier Americans and corporations topay for his plans; Republicans want to cut spending.Obama has sought to pressure Republicans by taking his

case on the road and accusing them of playing "politicalgames" over jobs. But it is clear his own 2012 re-election

depends heavily on his ability to spur the stagnant Americaneconomy.Obama's visit to the electoral swing state of North Carolina

was aimed at building support for his jobs bill, which calls fora mixture of tax cuts and new government spending.But doubts persist.Just one in six people in a new National Journal/United

Technologies poll said Obama's plan would reduce unemploy-ment "a lot." About half of respondents thought it wouldimprove employment at least "a little," and one-quarter said thebill would not affect employment levels at all.

Rising seas expected to washout key California beachesSAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Rising

seas forecast from climate change willlikely wash away some of California'smost iconic beaches by century's end,along with hundreds of millions of dol-lars in real estate, roads and tax revenues,a new study found on Wednesday."If beaches disappear, shrink and

erode, we are going to have lesstourism," said Phillip King, associateprofessor of economics at San FranciscoState University. "We took the best avail-able science, and it's possible the (esti-mated) costs are still too low."With a grant from the state

Department of Boating and Waterways,university economists spent two yearsprojecting economic losses severalcoastal California communities couldexpect from climate change linked togrowing concentrations of heat-trapping"greenhouse" gases in the atmosphere.The five stretches of coastline under

scrutiny were San Francisco's OceanBeach, as well as the Southern California

beach communities of Carpinteria,Malibu, Venice and Torrey Pines StateReserve near San Diego.Based on forecasts calling for sea lev-

els to rise between 1 and 2 meters by theyear 2100, researchers devised modelspredicting which properties, infrastruc-ture, wildlife habitat and open spacewould be flooded or eroded, and thevalue of those losses.They also surveyed existing reports to

determine how costly it would be to pro-tect or replace those coastal resources.Venice Beach stands to be the hardest

hit of the five shorelines studied, with a2-meter rise in sea level over the next 90years resulting in $96 million in identi-fied losses, according to the report. A 1-meter increase over the same periodwould trigger $31.6 million in lossesthere.Factoring in additional damage from

erosion of areas just inland from thecoastline, the study predicted total eco-nomic losses by century's end ranging

from nearly $600 million to $1 billion ormore for the five areas combined.A more comprehensive 2009 study by

the Pacific Institute, an environmentalthink tank, concluded that nearly500,000 people and $100 billion worth ofproperty along California's entire coastwere at risk of facing severe floodingfrom rising sea levels this century unlessnew safeguards were put in place.That report also found that large tracts

of the picturesque Pacific coast would belost to accelerated erosion.It suggested that the heightened flood

risk could be minimized by investingabout $14 billion in a system of newlybuilt or upgraded sea walls, levees andoffshore breakwaters to reinforce some1,100 miles of coast.The San Francisco State University

researchers make no explicit recommen-dations but said their findings couldguide policymakers when they considerfuture shorefront development, Kingsaid.

Incumbent Dale Francisco didn’t have a strong opinion ondistrict elections. While he’d be willing to put it to a vote forthe public, the quality of representation still depends on thecandidate.“If you elect good people, you’ll get good representation,”

Francisco said.Former journalist Cathy Murillo said she’d support public

workshops to talk about what sort of districts the public wouldlike to see. But Murillo added that the issue only seems to comeup in election years.But Murillo added that if the real concern behind the ques-

tion is about getting better Latino representation at City Hall,then the community needs to work on fielding more qualified,viable candidates than on drawing up districts.

“District elections or not, we need good, qualified candidateswho can represent all the people in all the neighborhoods fair-ly,” Murillo said. Incumbent Michael Self had accepted an invitation but was

unable to attend at the last minute.José Villarreal has lived in Santa Barbara since 1950 and has

voted in every election since he first qualified to vote. He’s con-cerned about the neglect of the Eastside and feels city hall hasbeen ignoring the concerns of the Latino community.Villarreal said it’s a shame there aren’t any Latinos on the

council but he needs to know what each candidate believesbefore he’d consider voting for any of them.“We don’t want somebody just because they’ve got a

Hispanic name,” Villarreal said.

Dear editor:

At a time when the mantra of the Hispanic community is and must be “UnidosVenceremos,” we are finding cracks in some sectors of our political leadership. I read with dis-may in the Aug. 31 edition of the Daily Sound that Olivia Uribe, a co-chair of the SantaBarbara County Young Democrats, is supporting Sharon Byrne, a conservative, for CityCouncil. Her reason, she says, is that “Sharon is a good friend and I am helping her out.”That’s not a good enough reason for someone who has the responsibility to help us become astrong player on the political stage. How is it that Ms. Uribe qualifies to be co-chair of theYoung Democrats?

Our candidate for City Council is Cathy Murillo, a bright and promising community activistwho has been involved in politics for a long time and will represent the interests of theHispanic community. We should promote her. Unfortunately, it appears Ms. Uribe lacks theexperience or perhaps the political savvy to understand the importance of working together andchoosing candidates for the right reasons.

Robert Bernstein PhotoReward offered for friendly missing unicorn, somewhere near the mission — although finding a unicorn is areward in itself.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Michael Jackson'sdoctor, accused of killing the pop star with apowerful anesthetic, has joined a small butgrowing number of U.S. physicians facingcriminal charges over their handling of pre-scription drugs.Medical negligence cases in the United

States are typically handled in civil court, withthe victim or victim's family seeking moneydamages from the doctor.In the case of Jackson's doctor, Conrad

Murray, prosecutors allege his negligence wasso extreme that he should be charged withinvoluntary manslaughter and punished withprison time.Fatal overdoses from prescription

painkillers more than tripled to 13,800 in theUnited States in 1999 through 2006, accordingto the Centers for Disease Control andPrevention.Consequently, more doctors are finding

themselves in the sights of prosecutors as

states like Florida and Georgia confront thegrowth in abuse of prescription drugs. Theprosecution of doctors is seen as more effec-tive than bringing cases against their patients.There were just over two dozen reported

criminal cases against doctors for malpracticein the two decades from 1981 to 2001, accord-ing to Westlaw research by James Filkins, adoctor and lawyer who has written about thecriminal prosecution of physicians.Replicating Filkins' research, Reuters tallied

around 37 reported criminal cases in thedecade from 2001 to 2011, with most recentcases against doctors for over-prescribingpainkillers and other controlled substances.U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration

information suggests a similar trend. For 2003,the agency reported 15 physician arrests thatresulted in convictions. By 2008, the mostrecent year with comprehensive data, the num-ber had grown to 43.
