A few months ago, the racefor the 19th District StateSenate seat was supposed tobe a knock-down, drag-outfight between two Democratsin the June primary.But so far, the race has fea-
tured no major drama or sur-prises.But, according to at least
one candidate, that’s about tochange.Democratic former
Assemblywoman Hannah-Beth Jackson is runningagainst Democrat JasonHodge, a firefighter andmember of the OxnardHarbor Commission. Also onthe ballot is Republican MikeStoker, a former SantaBarbara County Supervisor.Since it’s an open primary,
the top two finishers in June,regardless of party affiliation,will square off in November.Political insiders believe
that Stoker and Jackson willpull ahead in June, paving theway for an explosive battlebetween the two, both ofwhom have great name recog-nition in the district, whichincludes all of Santa BarbaraCounty, most of VenturaCounty and Santa Clarita inLos Angeles County.A recent poll paid for by
Hodge showed that Stokerwould beat Jackson inNovember. Other polls not
released publicly indicatesimilar results, Stoker said.Knowing that the big battle
between Jackson and Stokermay be yet to come, Jacksonhas been for the most part lay-ing low in the primary.Hodge, who is relatively
unknown in Santa Barbara,recently started in full-forceto raise money and line up inendorsements.“In the next couple of
weeks, you will see a lot moreof me getting out there,”Hodge said. “Our momentumis solid and we are very com-fortable with where we are.”Hodge has been campaign-
ing in Santa Barbara Countyabout four days a week. He’spersonally handed out 3,000pieces of his literature.A few days ago, Hodge
announced his biggest sup-port in Santa Barbara County
— former assemblymanPedro Nava.Nava, who spent six years
in the state assembly and onlystepped down because of termlimits, is working to getHodge elected.“Jason is a true public ser-
vant, not a career politician,”Nava said. “He has dedicatedhis life to serving people, notjust from the fire engine butworking hands-on withgroups like the Boys & GirlsClub, the MuscularDystrophy Association, andmany other community nonprofits.”Nava’s endorsement of
Hodge comes as little sur-prise, yet it will likely stillcarry weight in the district.Although they are both
Democrats, Nava and Jacksonhave collided personally andpolitically over the years.Jackson is deeply entrenched
in the local Democratic Partyand Nava is on the outs.The former assemblyman
has publicly criticized theDemocratic Party since thegroup endorsed Das Williamsover Nava’s wife SusanJordan, who challengedWilliams for the seat.Nava said Hodge is what
we need in Sacramento.“Jason is honest,” Nava
said. “He doesn't always tellpeople what they want to hearbut he does tell it like it is. Hedoesn't make excuses. Hesolves challenges in a biparti-san way and has earned therespect of a diverse spectrumof the community.“He puts people above pol-
itics. We are tired of partisangridlock. Now more thanever, we need people whobuild bridges and bring peo-

NEWS IN BRIEF
Menthol smokers have strokes
Angelina Jolie, Pitt to marry
CRIME BLOTTER
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are engaged to marry, a spokes-woman for Pitt said on Friday."Yes, it's confirmed. It is a promise for the future and their kids
are very happy. There's no date set at this time," Pitt's spokes-woman Cynthia Pett-Dante told Reuters.Pitt, 48, and Jolie, 36, have been a couple since 2005, and are
raising six children together, but until now have said they had noplans to marry.But Jolie was photographed at a Los Angeles museum this
week wearing a large diamond ring on her engagement finger thatPitt had helped to design.Jewelry maker Robert Procop said he had fashioned the ring in
collaboration with Pitt, specifically for the actress."The full creative journey - from conception to completion -
took a year, with Brad Pitt waiting until the perfect moment tounveil this special jewel to Angelina Jolie," Procop's spokes-woman said in a statement on Friday.The couple, dubbed Brangelina by celebrity media, have pre-
viously resisted pressure to marry, despite numerous reports overthe years that a wedding was in the offing.Pitt, the star of "Moneyball", said some years ago they would
not wed until gay marriage was legalized in the United States.
Among smokers, people who prefer mentholated cigarettestend to have more strokes than non-menthol smokers - and thisseems to be especially true for women and non-AfricanAmericans, according to a North American study.The author of the study said that while no cigarettes are good
for the health, the findings - published in the Archives of InternalMedicine - suggest people should especially stay away frommentholated varieties."They're all bad, but having said that, from a harm-reduction
perspective this study does lend to the view of avoiding - at aminimum - mentholated types," said Nicholas Vozoris, a clinicalassociate at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto.For the study, Vozoris used information taken from U.S. health
and lifestyle surveys that included 5,028 adult smokers. The sur-veys were conducted from 2001 through 2008.Overall, about 26 percent of those participants said they usual-
ly smoked mentholated cigarettes, and the rest smoked non-men-tholated ones.Some experts say menthol makes it easier to start smoking and
harder to quit because its taste masks the harshness of tobacco.Of menthol smokers, 3.4 percent said on the surveys they'd
had a stroke. That compared to 2.7 percent of the non-mentholsmokers.

Heavy Hang-Ups at LACMAThe Los Angeles Times
announced that the LosAngeles County Museum ofArt, having recently moved a340 ton boulder acrossCalifornia to become art, isconsidering finalizing plansfor hanging a 70 ft long, 100TON replica of a 1943Baldwin 2900 steam locomo-tive on its end by an actual160 ft crane on LACMA'scampus.This sculpture, the train
and crane, was imagined byartist Jeff Koons in 2005 for aFrench Museum, but wasnever built.Koons then began looking
for a sponsor and a home forthe dangling full-scale verti-cal locomotive and crane, andLACMA is so interested thatLACMA director MichaelGovan ordered a $2 millionfeasibility study for the proj-ect.The study has not been
completed since the engineer-ing firm Carlson and Co.,which was hired to draft upplans for the complex engi-neering, has gone out of busi-ness.Complex engineering
indeed. The average weight ofa diesel locomotive is around100 tons give or take, and theartist's plans call for the loco-motive to hang 4-5 storiesabove street level, nose down.And this on the heels of
spending millions of dollarsto move a 340 ton rock twoweeks ago, taking 11-nightsto travel 100 miles on re-con-structed California surfacestreets in order to buildMichael Heizer's $10 mill.installation on LACMA'scampus, "Levitated Mass."It seems LACMA can't get
enough of hanging somethingreally, really heavy over art-lovers' heads – if the trainproject is realized, museum-goers will have the choice of
l i n -ger-i n g
underneath a massive 340 tonrock overhead, whilst viewingthe rock from underground,OR walking under a dangling100 ton locomotive hoistedby a crane.As a side note, Dr. Yuri
Fialko’s study on the SanAndreas fault demonstratedthe fault had been stressed by2006 sufficiently for “the nextbig one.”He said “the triggering will
happen- when the earthquakewill occur, we cannot tell. Itcould be tomorrow or it couldbe 10 years from now,” heconcluded in 2005 in theJournal NATURE.Undaunted, LACMA's
director Michael Govan com-pared the plans for the hang-ing vertical locomotive sculp-ture to the icon-like statue ofParis' Eiffel Tower, remarkingif the train is erected, it will beseen from the Santa MonicaFreeway.Might give us something to
look at while we creep downthe freeway, and may be espe-cially interesting to watchsway when we experience“the next big one.”The "Disney-worthy" proj-
ect has slowed considerablybecause of what DirectorGovan says is sheer engineer-ing complexity, even thoughstudies so far have shown thata 70 ft 100 ton hunk of steelhanging from a crane on wires
would be safe and doable, in acity which is bound to shakewith the next quake. Moneyis, however, understandablytight after moving a 340 tonrock across the state on atransporter 3-highway laneswide.Still, tension is mounting
for LACMA to hoist or dropthe project, because an EastCoast organization is thinkingabout co-opting the art projectand hanging the locomotiveover their elevated city park,New York’s The High Line.Thus LACMA's MichaelGovan was asked if he mightshare the idea and productioncosts and go in together tobuild two hanging trains – oneon the West Coast and one onthe East.His answer: "There's the
issue of identity. Would youhave two Eiffel Towers?" hesaid, as quoted in the Times.I have news for Michael
Govan – there's numerousEiffel Towers in the world:here's a partial list – there’sone in Blackpool Tower, UK,one in King's Dominion,Dumfries, VA, one inLafayette, NC and there’sEiffel Towers in many placescalled Paris: Paris, TX, andParis, TN; of course there'sone in Las Vegas, and there'sone in South America whichsports a sombrero.And what does all this
hanging heavy stuff meanphilosophically?If art is the cultural indica-
tor of a collective mood, dowe all feel as if there’s ananvil hanging over our heads?I wonder what LACMA willthink of hanging next?

Everythingyou need...before the dressand happilyever after
Are you retirement ready?Dear S&B: I am consider-
ing retirement but concernedif I have saved enough and alittle apprehensive of movingfrom a regular paycheck tonone. Any tips I should con-sider to calm the nerves?Stanley – Santa Barbara.The retirement decision is
often psychologically chal-lenging so you are not alone.Not only will cash flow be cutbut some find that their iden-tity was defined by their joband they miss that as well.From a financial perspective,you need to understand youare moving from the "accu-mulation" stage of life to "dis-tribution.” Let’s run throughsome considerations.Wealth Management
(confronting your emo-tions): People who haveproperly prepared themselvesfor retirement have generallybeen "savers" their entirelives. It’s common for them toexperience anxiety when theystop working. As soon as thatpaycheck ends and they startinvading principal to paybills, discomfort is experi-enced by many.To help combat these feel-
ings, we recommend you setup a "cash flow" systemwhere income from yourinvestments is funneled intoyour checking account. Thismimics the paycheck that isno longer coming and anoften time provides emotionalsupport.In the “distribution phase”
of life, you should additional-ly prepare yourself psycho-logically that your overallworth may not increase or
likely diminish going for-ward. Unless you haveamassed large sums of moneyand have not increased yourlifestyle correspondingly,many people tend to spend allif not more than what comesin. Thus saving little to noth-ing in retirement.This is especially challeng-
ing in the low interest rateenvironment we are in todaywhere people can find them-selves invading principal.There is no easy fix to this.Many are faced with havingto assume more investmentrisk, invade principal (usuallyvery uncomfortable) or reduc-ing the lifestyle to haveknown income match knownexpenses.The key takeaway is to
make sure you have savedenough to support yourlifestyle as you enter retire-ment. We suggest that youhave 90% of your knownexpenses covered by knownincome. Hopefully your port-folio mix can minimally have30% allocated to growthinvestments so you can com-bat future inflation whilemaintaining current positivecash flow.Investment and Tax
Management: There is no
“one size fits all” for invest-ments as each person's needsare unique. But you shouldpay special attention to therules and circumstances sur-rounding your specific retire-ment accounts. For example,keep in mind that qualifiedplan distributions comingfrom IRA's, 401k's and thelike are subject to marginaltax rates and not the lowercapital gain bracket. This caninfluence when and whereyou “create income” for your-self.In retirement, the “distribu-
tion game" often changes theway you should approachinvestment management. Alarge allocation to "growthinvestments" may havehelped you attain retirementbut may need to be altered togenerate more consistentincome as priorities havechanged.The most success retire-
ments we see are usually debtfree. This allows people toeasily modify lifestyle wheneconomic forces are notfriendly. If you enter retire-ment with a large debt load,you will not have the freedomto easily modify expenses ifneed be.Risk Management:
Repositioning insurance toeither cut expenses or reallo-cating contract values to longterm care protection is usuallya focus for many. Life insur-ance generally has less of aneed unless you estate is sub-ject to inheritance taxes.Disability insurance poli-
cies as you approach retire-ment generally have little to
offer in benefits in compari-son to the premium (usuallyhave an age limit for payout).Don’t overlook health
insurance planning. If youretire before Medicare eligi-bility, you may be shocked bythe insurance premiums youare facing. Pay particularattention to this, especially ifyou have health concerns.This next chapter of life is
about distributing your wealthas effectively as possible.This may be the "golden age"for many but it can also be the"revenue years" for the IRS asyour qualified tax deferredaccounts start to distribute.The sources of your retire-ment income and the tax con-sequences of pulling fromvarious accounts can differwidely from person to person(cost basis, Roth IRA’s, taxfree income, pensions, etc.).Some people put off
pulling from their tax quali-fied accounts until they runout of the “cheap tax” money.While that plan may helpreduce taxes today, that maynot be the best plan down theroad as their wealth becomesconcentrated in “tax toxic”assets.Many retirees had planned
for taxes to be lower in retire-ment than during the workingyears but that is not alwaysthe reality. Make sure you dosome tax projections as well.

Buying Show Comes to TownBY DAVID FEHERSTAFF WRITER
You’ve probably noticed more and more signs saying, “We Buy Gold” around town. With the high price of gold at over $1,600 per ounce, a lot of businesses have started buying gold and silver. If you have gold, where do you sell to get the best price? Well, this week you can cut out the middle man and sell your gold where those “We Buy Gold” businesses sell theirs.
This week, the Ohio Valley Gold & Silver Refinery (yes, I said refinery) will host an event allowing the public to sell di-rectly to them. This is the place all gold and silver ends up—at a refinery. The precious metals are then melted and the impuri-ties are removed. Gold and silver bars are formed and then sold to industrial businesses, jewelry manufacturers, investment hous-
es, countries and the like. Dur-ing this event, the general public will be allowed to sell their gold and silver directly to the refin-ery. This means more money in your pocket. The spokesperson for the refinery said that they will be purchasing all types of gold jewelry—both white and yellow. They will also be buying dental gold, gold bullion, gold coins and all other items made of
gold. 10k, 12k, 14k, 18k and 22k jewelry is wanted in any condi-tion. Silver jewelry, silver coins and silver bars, silver rounds and silver bullion will also be pur-chased during this event. Other items they are interested in are things marked Sterling and .925.

ple together. Jason had donethat and will continue to dothat as our senator.”Steve Barkan, Jackson’s
political consultant, brushedoff the fact that Navaendorsed Hodge.“It might help because he
doesn’t have much in the wayof local support,” saidBarkan, pointing out that onlyabout 10 percent of his finan-cial donations come fromVentura and Santa Barbaracounties.Most of Hodge’s money
comes from Sacramentodonors. The same specialinterests that backed TonyStrickland’s state senate cam-paign against Jackson arenow supporting Hodge,Barkan said.Regardless, Barkan said
he’s not concerned aboutNava’s endorsement ofHodge.“I’d much rather have the
individual support of the likesof Lois Capps, Das Williams,the Sierra Club, (SantaBarbara County Supervisor)Doreen Farr, (Santa BarbaraCounty Supervisor) JanetWolf, among others, thanPedro Nava,” Barkan said.Daraka Larimore-Hall,
chairman of the Santa BarbaraCounty Democratic Party,which has endorsed Jackson,
said he would never underes-timate any political opponent.But Nava’s support of Hodge,Larimore-Hall said, means lit-tle, if anything.“Nobody who pays atten-
tion to politics will see it as asurprise, so I don’t think any-one is losing any sleep overthis,” Larimore-Hall.Larimore-Hall said Hodge
faces an uphill battle, andthere’s not a lot of time left.“It is a tough thing to jump
from an obscure elected officein one county and then run fora multi-county position,”Larimore-Hall said. “Rightnow things are looking reallygood for Hannah-Beth, butwe are not taking anything forgranted. We still have manyweeks to go and politics canbe full of surprises.”Waiting in the wings is
Stoker, who expects to faceJackson in November.“If Jason doesn’t start edu-
cating voters as to who he isand the contrasts between himand Hannah-Beth Jackson,maybe I am missing some-thing here, but I don’t knowhow he gets out of the pri-mary. They really need to startgetting the word out.”Stoker said Nava’s
endorsement only helps if hecan get the word out to otherDemocrats that he’s a BlueDog Democrat.“The endorsement doesn’t
surprise me,” Stoker said. “Ifhe gets that word out to the
Independents and theDemocrats and he letsDemocrats know whereHannah-Beth Jackson hasbeen, that endorsement willbe critical.”Stoker, who held three
press conferences on the sameday in three parts of the dis-trict to announce his cam-paign, said he’s ready forNovember.“Our campaign is going
great,” Stoker said. “We aretrying to be arrogant or any-thing, but we are not runninga campaign to spend a lot ofmoney or get involved in theprimary.” Hodge said he expects to
surprise everybody in June.He said he’s the little guy tak-ing on two candidates deeplyentrenched in the politicalestablishment.Hodge was beaming on
Thursday because he just gotthe endorsement of theCalifornia Labor Federation.He said he is working hardand expects to prevail in June.People should not underes-
timate him, he said.“I am coming out of
nowhere to pull this trick off,”Hodge said. “It’s not aboutendorsements and it’s notabout the little cliques andclubs. It’s about shakinghands and meeting people. Iam confident that our slowburn approach is the rightapproach.”

(Reuters) - Alex Rodriguezand the New York Yankeesnormally incur the wrath offans bothered by baseball'senormous salaries. This yearhe has more company amongplayers with very large, verylong deals worth tens of mil-lions of dollars.Superstar Albert Pujols
arrived at Yankee Stadium onFriday for his first game hereas a member of the LosAngeles Angels, who signedhim to a 10-year, $240 mil-lion contract this offseason.That was followed by
megadeals signed by twoother first basemen. PrinceFielder and the Detroit Tigersagreed to a 9-year, $214 mil-lion contract shortly afterPujols signed his. Then theCincinnati Reds gave JoeyVotto a 10-year, $225 millionextension earlier this monthwhen he still had two moreseasons to go on his currentcontract."They've been doing a lot
of that lately," Rodriguezsaid, smiling at the idea hemight no longer be the sym-
bol of the overpaid ballplayer."Baseball's in a good place. ...I kind of enjoy lying in theweeds and letting other play-ers get the attention. It's a newrole."Team owners are finding
business rationale for suchsalaries, and advanced meth-ods devised to value playershave found the overall teamrevenue the stars generateoften shows these multi-mil-lionaires earn their pay.Rodriguez still reigns as
the highest paid player, nowin the fifth year of a 10-year,$275 million contract thatcould earn him up to $30 mil-lion more in bonuses if hebreaks Barry Bonds' careerhome run record of 762.(Rodriguez hit his 630thcareer homer on Friday.)The Angels could afford
Pujols in part because theyare bringing in $150 million ayear in their 20-year televi-sion rights agreement withFox Sports, and the LosAngeles Dodgers are expect-ed to bring in even more withtheir next TV deal, a factor in
the recent $2 billion sale pricefor the team."It's really all about these
local TV contracts," said J.C.Bradbury, an economist andbaseball analyst. "That's real-ly what drove the sale priceon the Dodgers. This contin-ues baseball's healthy growththat really has been going onfor the past decade, even in arecession."Splashy as the deals are
when first signed, they carryhuge risks for the teams.Rodriguez, Pujols and Vottowill all be past their 40thbirthdays - beyond the agewhen players' prowess beginsto decline - when their con-tracts expire.They also add pressure to
small-market teams to draftand develop their own impactplayers, whose pay can becontrolled until they reachplayer free agency after sixyears in the Major Leagues.Certainly Rodriguez's con-
tract looks worse today thanwhen he signed it in 2007,when he was coming offcareer bests in on-base and
