Neighbors at odds on garage expansion planIn a city where views are prized possessions and aesthetics

meticulously revered, even seemingly small and beneficialchanges to private property can take a toll on owners and neigh-bors. Todd and Melanie Drevo would like to add a two-car garage

with storage space, widen a section of their driveway, andchange a small window into a set of French doors with a fewaccompanying steps, at their property at 1402 Grand Avenue.

But neighbors Mike and Linda Cahill feel these plans threat-en their quality of life.Todd Drevo said that he and his wife have been developing

plans for three years, working with the city and neighbors. Thatthe Cahills could honestly object the development has himstumped.“These folks would rather it not be built,” Drevo said, “but

we’ve tried to do everything we could. We think we’ve tried tocooperate with everything.” His neighbors have hired attorney Tony Fischer to help them

prevent the building of the single-story garage, which would belocated 15 feet from the border of their property. They arebringing their objections before the Santa Barbara City Councilat an appeal hearing today at 2 p.m. at City Hall.Mike Cahill pointed out that the proposed garage would sit

closer to his house and that of another neighbor, than it wouldbe to the actual residence. His wife added that if built, the struc-ture would significantly block the pristine view of the moun-tains.“They have 5.2 acres,” she said, “they could put it anywhere

else.” She circled several locations on a map of the propertythat she thinks are equally appropriate.The size of the 20-by-27 foot structure, is also of concern,

and the couple feels the Drevo’s should go with an earlier, sim-pler plan to build a carport. Malanie Drevo added that her neighbors to the north would

rather see a covered structure on the property that would veilthe trash cans and other objects the couple wants to store. Thisstorage space is why the couple requested, and was approvedby the Single Family Design Board, to add seven extra feet ofspace where two car garages are typically 20-by-20 feet. She also said that the total square feet in nearly 200 feet

under the maximum.In addition to their issues with the garage, the Cahills also

object to a lot line adjustment agreed between the Drevos and

their neighbors. The Drevos’ proposed the adjustment afterTodd Drevo broke his wrist and several ribs directing a truck toback out of the small parking space that existed before theadjustment was made. He leaned against a wall that caved,causing him to fall down a steep hillside. This arrangement was approved by both parties and the city

in June of 2009, City staff claims it is not subject to appeal atthis time because the 10-day window for that type of appeal haslong since lapsed.The Drevos do not feel the Cahills’ objections are valid or

even heartfelt. Todd Drevo said that he has gathered 16 signa-tures of approval from surrounding neighbors and produced let-ters of support from two of them. One, from Thomas and Jean Schrock who also live on the

avenue, called the Drevos’ plans “a great, civilizing idea,”because they would put a turn around on their driveway whichis also the end of Grand. It would help trucks and trailers maketurns. Todd Drevo indicated that the current appeal is just another

episode of harassment launched by a neighbor with a long his-tory of it.Seven years ago when the couple purchased the house and

were required to make changes to comply with zoning stan-dards, Drevo said that Mike Cahill claimed he was expandinghis house, and put city workers to the arduous task of measur-

ing every inch to prove the allegations wrong.For their part the Cahill’s claim their neigh-

bors are illegally using the residence as a hotel.The Cahills fear that the garage and French doorsare intended to further accommodate this use.“They’ve been covering stuff up for the

visit,” Linda Cahill said. She said that thehome is regularly rented out to multiple guestswith cars piling the driveway. But Drevo said he has done nothing illegal.

He said the zoning department investigated

him and found him innocent.“We don’t have any red flags or violations,”

he said, and added that whenever he has guestsat his house Mike Cahill trespasses onto hisproperty to hound them with questions.He admitted to renting his house out for

periods longer than 30 days a few times,which, as the owner of the property, he said iswithin his right to do. But he said he genuine-ly lives at the residence and has a daughterwho attends school in the area.

NEWS IN BRIEFQwikster over before it began(Reuters) - Netflix Inc Chief Executive Reed Hastings canceled

plans to split his company's DVD rental business into a new web-site after subscriber outrage, but the company's shares still fell oninvestor concerns about price increases and content costs.In a company statement issued Monday, Hastings said of the

surprise about-face, "there is a difference between movingquickly -- which Netflix has done very well for years -- andmoving too fast, which is what we did in this case.""Consumers value the simplicity Netflix has always offered

and we respect that," Hastings said.Needham & Co. analyst Charlie Wolf put it more bluntly:

"The subscribers voted and Netflix realized the whole thing wasstupid. It was an act where you didn't raise prices but you lostsubscribers."

California bans UV beds for teens(Reuters) - Minors in the state of California will no longer be

allowed to use tanning beds after the governor signed a bill pro-hibiting anyone under the age of 18 from using ultraviolet tan-ning devices.California is the first state in the nation to ban minors from

using tanning beds, legislators said.California had previously banned minors under the age of 14

from using tanning beds, but allowed teenagers between 14 and18 years of age to use tanning beds with parental consent.The bill was part of a cluster of legislation signed by

Governor Jerry Brown on Sunday designed to improve thehealth and well-being of Californians, according to a statementfrom the governor's office."If everyone knew the true dangers of tanning beds, they'd be

shocked. Skin cancer is a rising epidemic and the leading causeof cancer death for women between 25 and 29,"the bill's spon-sor, state Senator Ted Lieu, said in a statement.

Jobs died of respiratory arrest(Reuters) - Apple Inc co-founder Steve Jobs died of respira-

tory arrest caused by a pancreatic tumor, according to the deathcertificate.Jobs died last Wednesday at his home in Palo Alto,

California, at about 3 p.m., according to the certificate, whichlists "respiratory arrest" as the immediate cause of death with"metastatic pancreas neuroendocrine tumor" as the underlyingcondition that caused the respiratory problem.No autopsy was performed on Jobs, who was listed as an

entrepreneur in the high tech industry with "some college" edu-cation on the certificate released by the Santa Clara CountyPublic Health Department.Jobs died at the age of 56.

Family, friends fondlyremember teen RomeroSergio Romero wanted to be a rock

musician.He believed the dream was possible.

His mother told him, “If you want to flyvery high, you have to construct yourown wings.”Family and friends on Monday

mourned the loss of Sergio, 15, who waskilled Saturday night when he was struckby a truck at the corner of Milpas andOrtega streets.

Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, in 1996Sergio came to Santa Barbara in 2003when he attended Cesar Chavez School,Adams Elementary, La Cumbre JuniorHigh, and San Marcos High School. Armando Romero, Sergio’s father,

said his son loved to laugh and hadalways been a happy, hardworking boy.“He always put all his effort into

everything he did,” Romero said. “Hewanted to construct his wings.”His love for music started at Adams

where he learned to play the violin. Butgoing into junior high, he found his truepassion when he started taking guitarclasses. He became a fan of heavy metal

bands like Metallica and Slayer, andlearned to play both the electric andacoustic guitar.Romero said he’d practice the guitar

every day after finishing his homeworkbefore going to classes on Fridays.“His passion for the guitar was a lot of

his life,” Romero said.He worked towards his dream, form-

ing his own informal band and gettingscheduled to play at the Avocado Festivalthis weekend. Romero said Sergio hadbeen looking forward to that.“He was really excited to play the first

concert of his life,” Romero said.Sergio also took that same discipline

when it came to his other passion: sports.Romero played some football but joinedup on the Royals wrestling team hissophomore year. Coach Tony Becerradescribed Sergio as a hardworking kidwith a lot of potential when he first sawSergio practicing during a club program.“He’d be out there and sometimes

he’d be doing double days,” Becerrasaid. His teammates all described him as

funny, hardworking, and inspiring.Freshman Bryan Gonzalez said Sergioalways had a smile and would talk toanyone.“He was one of the nicest people I

knew,” Gonzalez said.Freshman Giovanni Fuentes, Sergio’s

wrestling and weight lifting partner, saidhe’d always be happy to show him a newmove or help him with an old one. “He was someone you looked up to,”

Fuentes said.Fellow teammate José Motolinia said

Sergio had helped his brother learn toplay the guitar. Motolinia said Sergio’swork ethic made the team stronger. “He always had us push ourselves and

told us never to give up,” Motolinia saidSergio had been in the crosswalk

Friday night a little before 9:15 when awhite flatbed truck struck him. Medicalpersonnel took him to Cottage Hospitalwhere he died of his injuries. The acci-dent is still under investigation but policedon’t believe alcohol had been a factor inthe accident.The news that Sergio had been killed

devastated his teammates. They said theycouldn’t believe it happened. “I cried,” Fuentes said.

WE ALL FOLLOWED ALONG: The rest of today’s col-umn is dedicated to Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who passedaway last week at age 56.

When I was a kid I loved computers but I figured I wouldnever actually own one because, at the time, they cost hun-dreds of thousands (or even millions) of dollars. I loved usinga “terminal” at school (that was connected to a real computerfar away) but it was impossible to use a real computer athome because nobody made such a thing.

Then suddenly in 1976-1977, these two guys namedSteve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, seemingly out of no where,

made an affordable computer that peoplecould actually OWN. This was a dreamcome true for geeks like me

After word of this developmentfinally reached me in the summer of1978, I would go to an electronics storein downtown Santa Barbara and usetheir Apple II computer which washooked up to timer. You had to put a

quarter in a slot every 15 minutes to keep the power on. Myfellow computer-geek friends and I went through a lot ofchange that summer. Within a year I saved up enough moneyto buy my very own personal computer at home.

Along with millions of others, I have followed the life ofSteve Jobs since then. We all followed along as Steve Jobschanged the computer industry again with the launch of theMacintosh in 1984. We all followed along as Steve Jobs

We are a new educational program looking for certified teachers as tutors, launching at San Marcos high School this October. Smiling Faces will help students to raise their grades, stay in school, respect others, and help the community. It has been in development over the last 6 years. We have an amazing staff that is highly qualified, devoted to helping the kids get an education and learn new skills. We help students with their studies by providing them with a one on one tutor during the school day. After school we also provide these students with after school activities such as Music, Beats & Film Production, and Fine Arts & Crafts. A survey was taken by the students at San Marcos high school, asking if they would use a tutor to help them with any of their studies. There were 78 % of the students that had said they needed a tutor. Currently, there is only one thing stopping this program from starting next month, we still need to fill tutoring positions. At this time we would like to extend an invitation to all teachers that are certified through the Santa Barbara district and especially to pink-slipped teachers to assist our youth in need of tutoring. We are also looking for 2 retired law enforcement officers to join our staff. We will be holding a meeting on October 12 at San Marcos High school in the cafeteria from 5 pm to 7 pm, applications will be available.

Council tackles gangs,issues at latest forumThe 10 candidates for next month’s Santa Barbara City

Council election took part in another forum Monday night –this one focused on community issues such as gangs, the home-less and gay and lesbian rights.The city’s actions regarding gangs and Latino youth was the

first item on the agenda. Some candidates, such as Deborah Schwartz, Cathy Murillo

and Cruzito Herrera Cruz, advocated for a better partnershipbetween community members and the police department.Incumbent Michael Self said she knew what it was like, havinggrown up “in a gang area.” And fellow incumbent DaleFrancisco didn’t think the question was entirely correct.“With all due respect, I don’t think the city has focused on

punitive solutions,” he said. “Santa Barbara is a generous city.”Plastic bags were also the focus of attention.Where Sebastian Aldana, Jr., Self, Sharon Byrne and Cruz

weren’t in favor of a ban implemented by the Council,Francisco and Randy Rowse (who brought reusable bags withhis name on them for attendees to take) went even further, say-ing that ordinances are not always the answer.Jerry Matteo stressed the importance of environmental

awareness.“Even if you use a [plastic] bag 100 times, it’s still going to

end up in a landfill,” he said.Murillo, who is endorsed by the Sierra Club, said that a ban

should be more carefully considered. “It’s not out of this

world,” she said.When asked about what the city can do to better serve the

needs of its senior citizen population, many of the candidatesagreed, championing adult education programs.Self lauded what she has observed within the Latino commu-

nity. “You don’t see them discarding their elders,” she said.Another of the city’s vulnerable populations – the homeless

and working poor – were mentioned, with questions focused onaffordable housing and viable solutions for getting people offthe streets.Many of the candidates agreed that, when the RDA runs out

in 2015, the city’s plan for affordable housing should involvepublic-private partnerships.Byrne, however, suggested an alternative, saying that per-

haps provide incentives to local nonprofit organizations wouldbe a start.Where the candidates diverged, though, was in regards to the

homeless. Francisco laid the blame on the state, Cruz suggested reallo-

cating police funds, and Matteo suggested a top-down methodof shared sacrifice. Murillo suggested a different approach,though.“Some people have demonized the homeless,” she said.

“That’s not how I operate. You figure out what got them therein the first place.”The candidates also weighed on gay and lesbian rights.“If you can’t look to your city leaders to protect everyone in

the community,” said Schwartz, “then there is something verywrong.”

Obama challenges Congress to vote on jobs bill(Reuters) - President Barack Obama challenged Republican

leaders on Tuesday to put his entire $447 billion jobs plan to avote, rather than breaking it up, to show American voters"exactly where members of Congress stand."Obama, a Democrat facing a tough re-election battle in

November 2012, sent bills for trade pacts with South Korea,Colombia and Panama to a seemingly receptive Congress onMonday but the mood in Washington has otherwise been frac-tious as his jobs package comes apart at the seams.Republicans say the proposal -- a mix of stimulus spending

and tax cuts for workers and small businesses plus an end tosome tax breaks for corporations and the rich -- will never passas a whole but that certain parts are worth considering.

On the Texas leg of his "pass this bill" tour, Obama chidedEric Cantor, Republican leader in the House of Representatives,for saying he would not allow a vote on the measure. The WhiteHouse said the plan could save or create about 400,000 educa-tion jobs, including 39,500 in Texas."I'd like Mr. Cantor to come down here to Dallas and explain

what exactly in this jobs bill does he not believe in," Obamasaid at a college after speaking at fund-raising events in the city."And if you won't do that, at least put this jobs bill up for a

vote so that the entire country knows exactly where members ofCongress stand. Put your cards on the table."Cantor's office fired back, asking whether Obama would

promise not to veto Republican job plans in their entirety.

Allthree are members of the council’s conservative voting bloc andare fighting challenges from seven candidates, Democrat-backed Deborah Schwartz, Cathy Murillo, and Iya Falcone, aswell as independents Sharon Byrne, Sebastian Aldana, CruzitoCruz, and Jerry Matteo.The council approved a vote by mail election earlier this year

in part to save on cost. Nearly half of all registered voters casta ballot in the 2009 election — one of the highest ever. City Clerk Cynthia Rodriguez said the city is hoping to keep

that keep that number or even raise it.“Our goal is to match what we did in our 2009 election,”

Rodriguez said.Ballots have prepaid postage and can be mailed in once

they’re received. Ballots can also be dropped off at City Hallthroughout the month. The city will also have four polling stations for people to

drop their ballots off on two different days for voters that can’tmake normal business hours. The stations will be openSaturday November 5th from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Election

Day November 8th from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Polling locations are the Braille Institute at 2031 De La Vina

Street, Santa Barbara Municipal Tennis Center at 1414 ParkPlace, Grace Lutheran Church at 3869 State Street, and PilgrimTerrace at 649 Pilgrim Terrace Drive.Candidates have been sparring at forums over public safety,

affordable housing, homeless issues, and environmental con-cerns.

The conservatives hold a majority on the council, butDemocrats are looking to retake City Hall.The three Democrat-backed opponents, planning commis-

sioner Deborah Schwartz, former journalist Cathy Murillo, andformer council member Iya Falcone all hold significantfundraising advantages over the conservatives as well as a reg-istered voting population that is almost 52 percent Democrat. Republicans, by contrast, only hold 21 percent with another

21 percent registered as non-partisan and the remaining six per-cent divided up between third parties.A potential spoiler is conservative-leaning independent

Sharon Byrne. While trailing in fund-raising, she holdsendorsements from some political heavyweights such as thepublic safety unions and former Assemblyman Pedro Nava.Eligible citizens can register to vote at the City Clerk’s

office, Santa Barbara County Elections Division, Departmentof Motor Vehicles and various other public places. The last dayto register to vote is October 24th. FYI: For more voter registration information go online to

Vote-by-mail ballots headed outtoday in high-stakes Santa BarbaraCity Council election

BY NICK C. TONKINDAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENT

“Our goal is to match what we didin our 2009 election.” — City ClerkCyntha Rodriguez

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama could create millions ofjobs by attracting more foreign capital to the United States, help-ing entrepreneurs and being more aggressive in energy, businessleaders said on Monday.In a new report, the chief executives of GE, Intel, Boeing and

other companies also backed White House proposals to fix infra-structure like airports, railways and electricity grids and toexpand broadband Internet networks as a way to boost hiring andspeed up flagging growth."If Washington can agree on anything, it should be this -- and

it should be now," the President's Council on Jobs andCompetitiveness said in the report, to be presented to Obama ata meeting in Pittsburgh on Tuesday.GE chief executive Jeffrey Immelt, who also chairs the non-

partisan advisory panel, said the long list of proposals -- whichinclude streamlining drug approvals, reducing costs of initialpublic offerings and improving air traffic control -- could have abig impact taken together."We never thought there was going to be a silver bullet to cre-

ate jobs," Immelt told Reuters in a telephone interview."What we want to offer the president is a very broad set of

ideas that can help more the economy forward," he said. "It'scomprehensive and it's specific."Obama, who faces a tough re-election fight in November 2012

with unemployment high and voters fearful of another recession,has sent his own $447 billion job-creation plan to Congress,where it has hit hurdles over how it will be funded.The jobs council, which also includes executives from

Facebook, Eastman Kodak and DuPont, was created in Februaryto help the White House find ways to promote growth.Its initial findings in June focused on measures with an imme-

diate jobs impact, like cutting red tape that delays public worksprojects and speeding up tourist visa applications.The latest report focuses speeding job creation over a two- to

five-year period. It includes proposals the council said "have thepotential to create millions of jobs in the years ahead whileimproving America's competitive standing."It seeks to bolster entrepreneurship by changing student loan

repayment rules for graduates who own or work for new compa-nies and offering visas to foreign-born entrepreneurs who formor join start-ups in the United States.The jobs council also calls for a speedier process of immigrant

visa decisions. It proposes foreign graduates who earn U.S.degrees in science, technology, engineering and math should getgreen cards offering them permanent residency."Delays all too often result in these talented people opting to

start or join companies in other countries, where they will com-pete against American firms," the report said.

FROM THE HEART

How to win the ultimate lotteryEverybody wants to be rich. I

have ever pondered on occasionwhat I would do if I won$15,000,000 in a lotto. (Although Idon't buy tickets.) I've got it all worked out in my

head; 10% to my favorite charity, 2million each to several loved ones(with instructions on how to investin 5% tax free bonds, thus insuringa clear $100,000 annual incomewithout touching the principal).How lovely... instant retirement andsleep-in relaxation. Time to unwind and smellthe roses, perhaps travel to exotic ports,investigate one's creative side, maybe dosome non-profit work. You know, just likeREAL wealthy people do. Sweet dreamsindeed.Of course some studies have shown that

big lotto winners don't necessarily live happi-ly ever after. Many go bankrupted and somehave ever committed suicide. And don't forgetthat rich folks are not immune to heartbreakand mortality. I can read yourminds..."Dude...let me give it a try".Well, feel free to keep buying those tickets

but don't forget about the Big Lotto that we

have already won. And we continueto win every moment. Yeah, youguessed it, we're alive. Now somepeople read that statement and say,"What's the big deal? I know I'malive. All this spiritual stuff don't paymy bills."Well, without your next breath,

you wouldn't have any bills. Do wereally understand what this life is?Do we appreciate the genius andmagic that keeps our drama alive?Are we spending the riches that are

freely being disbursed? Our treasure chest ofunderstanding, compassion, appreciation, joy,love; those magnificent jewels in our heartthat shine their brilliance, mesmerizing uswith their clarity and warmth.Yes, I understand that these wonderful sen-

timents don't feed an empty stomach and Iagree with Mahatma Gandhi that "to a starv-ing person, food is God." But once we nour-ish, shelter, and clothe the body, let's notignore that incredible bounty of wisdom thatwe all have access to inside our being. It's the wealth that no money can ever buy.Comments? email me at

Sometimes, it’s hard not to laugh. When your favorite four-year-old says something hilarious-

ly profound, you bite your lip, knowing that you’d be in trou-ble if you bust a gut. If your beloved does something silly (but well-meaning),

you twist your lips to avoid the outburst you know is coming. When your great-aunt shows up at holiday dinner dressed

like that, you know there’d better not be even one “HA!” toescape your lips.Yep, sometimes it’s hard not to laugh but it’s easy to do it

when you read “Seriously… I’m Kidding” by EllenDegeneres.“As it turns out, writing a book is hard,” says Degeneres. This is her third book, each one sharing the “…” in the

title. She didn’t think writing it would be difficult because,after all, she has a lot to say every day for at least an hour.There’s a lot of talking on a talk show, you know. There’s a lot of listening, too, and daydreaming is not

allowed. Degeneres listens to many famous people and one ofher favorites is Portia de Rossi, who is “beautiful and one ofthe nicest people [Degeneres has] ever met.” Fortunately, aletter from a genealogical society said that she and de Rossiare related. By marriage.

Meaning, they’re married. And in answer to nosy people, no, they aren’t planning on

having a family because “there is far too much glass” in theirhouse. Besides, first you have to give birth.“I won’t go into specifics,” says Degeneres, “but ouch and

no thank you.”Now then, just in case you’re thinking that this book is all

fluff, you’ll also find useful advice in these pages.Degeneres gives readers hints on being a supermodel and

how to know what clothes will come back in fashion. Shewrites about polls and why people shouldn’t put too muchfaith in them. She offers several ways to gamble while in Las

Vegas, she gives kudos to funny women who’ve paved theway for people like her, and you’ll find some impressively bigwords in this book.But will you find laughs?Yes… but.Yes. “Seriously… I’m Kidding” is seriously funny. Reading

it is like a 241-page monologue in your lap. Author and talkshow host Ellen Degeneres is as good in this book as she ison-stage, and Degeneres’ wicked wit beams bright fromalmost each page. Some of her lines practically beg you tocall your mother and share aloud. But wait. Did you notice I said “almost”?But there are times when this book dives below silliness.

An entire page devoted to sound effects? Four pages of draw-ings for your child to color? Seriously? Jokes like these anda few go-nowhere “short stories” may leave readers scratchingtheir heads. Fortunately, the fall-flats are few, but still…But still, if you’re a fan of Degeneres’ talk show or stage

performance, you’ll find a treasure-trove of classic humor thatyou won’t want to be without. For you, “Seriously… I’mKidding” will be a hard book to miss.

NEWS

(Reuters) - Thousands of people includingteachers, religious leaders and union workersmarched in downtown Chicago on Monday tovoice mounting anger over joblessness andincome inequality in protests that snarled rush-hour traffic.Chanting "We are the 99 percent" and "Tax,

tax, tax the rich," some demonstrators marchedon Michigan Avenue and gathered outside theChicago Art Institute where a U.S. futuresindustry trade group was holding an eveningcocktail reception.Others marched outside a luxury hotel near

to where the American Mortgage BankersAssociation was holding a meeting downtown.Five separate "feeder marches" -- which

converged into one giant march up MichiganAve -- were inspired by, but not formally affil-iated with, the Occupy Wall Street movementthat began in New York last month and sparkedsmaller protests nationwide.Police estimated a crowd of around 3,000

protesters at the events, organized by the"Stand Up Chicago" coalition with the statedgoal of reclaiming "our jobs, our homes andour schools," according to the group's website."We really want to highlight the role the

financial industry has played," said AdamKader of Arise Chicago, an interfaith workers'rights group and part of the coalition."They're here in our backyard, so this is the

time to send a message about how we're reallyhurting," he added, saying the demonstrationwould focus on foreclosures, unemploymentand lack of municipal funding for key servic-es.Police arrested 26 demonstrators, many

wearing Chicago Teachers Union T-shirts, wholinked arms and sat down in Monroe Street asthey chanted "Save our schools, save ourhomes!" They were ticketed and released.Another demonstrator was arrested and faces acharge of battery on a police officer.Nearby, a crowd chanted "Shame on you!"

to members of the Futures IndustryAssociation who peered out from a balcony ofthe Chicago Art Institute, where they attendeda party.Several protesters paid $2,245 per badge to

gain admission to the Mortgage BankersAssociation event, organizers said.One protester, dressed in a suit, got to a

microphone during a panel discussion andasked Michael Heid, president of Wells FargoHome Mortgage, a top national mortgagelender: "How do you sleep at night?"The man asked Heid how could he even

visit the Chicago area since so many beenaffected by foreclosures locally.Heid answered that he felt like he was

before a congressional panel with such a toughline of questioning.

NEWS

(Reuters) - The National BasketballAssociation (NBA) has canceled the first twoweeks of the regular season after the leagueowners and players were unable to resolve abitter labor dispute on Monday.The decision, confirmed by NBA commis-

sioner David Stern, was made after both partiesfailed to draw up a new collective bargainingagreement in a last-ditch meeting in New York.The season was scheduled to start on

November 1 and the abandonment covers allgames originally scheduled to be playedthrough to November 14.

"Despite extensive efforts, we have notbeen able to reach a new agreement with theplayers' union that allows all 30 teams to beable to compete for a championship while fair-ly compensating our players," NBA deputycommissioner Adam Silver said in a statement.The league said refunds plus interest were

available for all NBA season-ticket holders forall pre-season and regular-season games thatwere canceled.Among the games that have gone is the

planned opening day that would have pittedthe champions, the Dallas Mavericks, at home

to the Chicago Bulls and the Oklahoma CityThunder at the L.A. Lakers.Players Association (NBPA) president

Derek Fisher, of the Lakers, said the move wasnot a surprise."I continue to believe that we've been more

than fair and reasonable in our approach. Thisis what we anticipated would happen, and herewe are," he said, in comments reported byCBS Sports website.NBPA executive director Billy Hunter said

that he hoped missing the opening gameswould help prove to the owners that the play-

ers were standing firm."Unfortunately maybe we need to miss a

few games for them to know there's resolveamong the players," he said.NBA owners contend the league lost $300

million last season with 22 of 30 teams in thered. They had wanted the league's share ofbasketball-related income increased from 50to 57 percent, along with a firm salary cap andshorter contracts.The players had offered to reduce their

share from 57 to 53 percent.

NBA to cancel first 2 weeks of regular season

Williams Jr. pens new song in dispute with Fox, ESPN(Reuters) - Country singer Hank Williams

Jr., whose theme song was pulled from"Monday Night Football" after he comparedPresident Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler, lashedout at the media on Monday with a topical songcalled "Keep the Change."The track, which borrows its title and certain

themes from another song released by Williams'daughter, Holly, in 2009, was offered as a freedownload on his website.Williams sparked an uproar when he

appeared on the Fox News Channel show "Fox& Friends" on October 3 and said Obama's pair-ing with Republican House of RepresentativesSpeaker John Boehner in a June golf summitwas "like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli PrimeMinister Benjamin) Netanyahu."

He also referred to Obama and VicePresident Joe Biden as "the enemy." That day,ESPN publicly rebuked Williams and droppedhis "All My Rowdy Friends" song as the open-ing theme for its weekly "Monday NightFootball" broadcast.He subsequently issued a statement saying

he was sorry for anyone who took offense, butthe Disney-owned sports channel and Williamslater said they were parting company after anassociation of more than 20 years. Williams hadintroduced "MNF" since 1991 on both ABCand ESPN.In his new song about the controversy,

Williams took aim at both ESPN and Fox News."So 'Fox & Friends' want to put me

down/Ask for my opinion/Twist it all

around/Well two can play that gotcha game," hesings on the track.Williams, a longtime supporter of

Republican causes, also sings that the UnitedStates is becoming "socialist" and takes a dig atObama's 2008 campaign theme of "change.""I'll keep my freedom, I'll keep my guns/Try

to keep my money and my religion too ... Keepthe government out of my business/ and y'allcan keep the change," he sings.The song ends with the 62-year-old

Williams, nicknamed Bocephus by his countrymusic legend father, urging fans to join him ina boycott."Yeah you can keep 'Fox & Friends' and

ESPN out of your homes too. 'Cause Bocephusand all his rowdy friends and his song is out of

there," sings Williams, who is selling "Hank Jr.for President" T-shirts on his website.Fox News declined to comment on the song,

and a representative from ESPN could not bereached for comment.The new Williams track borrows its title

from a song called "Keep the Change," whichreleased by his daughter, Holly Williams, in2009.While Holly Williams did not write the song,

her version gained solid radio play with lyricsthat present a more subtle but still biting cri-tique of the Obama administration.Hank Williams Jr. is slated to hit the TV talk

show circuit on Tuesday, including appearanceson the ABC daytime program "The View" andthe conservative Fox News show "Hannity."
