She was 52.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Members of Marin County Urban Search and Rescue walk Wednesday with their dogs outside a home in Milt Valley, where a 73-year-old man was believed to be trapped in a mudslide. WHAT'S NEXT By TERENCE CHE A The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO Heavy rains triggered mudslides across Northern California on Wednesday, forcing evacuations, cutting off electricity, closing roads and leaving an elderly Mill Valley man missing and believed buried in his back yard. Walter Guthrie, 73, was clearing debris around 3 a.m. when a huge wall of mud slid down the hill behind his house, Mill Valley Fire Department Battalion Chief Greg Moore said. About 40 rescue workers were digging with hands and buckets in the slide that was about 50 feet wide and 12- to 14-feet deep, but they stopped because the situation had become too dangerous, Moore said.

Rescue teams then began using a crane to remove the debris and planned to tear down the house to locate the missing man if necessary, Moore said. "There's a lot of debris to remove," Moore said. "We've switched to recovery mode." Three other homes were evacuated because of the mudslide in Mill Valley, a hilly community about 10 miles north of San Francisco, Moore said. Mudslides caused by heavy rains were reported all along the coast of the San Francisco Bay Area, with Sonoma, Pointer died of cancer Tuesday at Santa Monica University of California, Los Angeles, Medical Center, the family said in a statement. June Pointer SALINAS Marjorie Murr Logan Marjorie Murr Logan, 89, of Salinas died peacefully Tuesday evening, April 4, 2006, at with the National Weather Service in Monterey.

One more storm was expected to arrive Sunday. "Hopefully, this will be the end of the wet period," Anderson said. "In all indications, it will be the end of the long-standing wet weather pattern." Six schools were closed in coastal Marin County because the roads were too flooded, said Stephen Rosenthal, superintendent of the Shoreline Unified School District, which serves Bodega Bay, Tomales, Inverness and Point Reyes. Heavy rains were blamed for power outages that affected a few thousand Pacific Gas Electric Co. customers, mostly around the Russian River in Sonoma County, said company spokesman Paul Moreno.

"What we're seeing is the effect of many days of rain," Moreno said. "We have saturated soils that cause trees to topple and cause small landslides that move utility poles." A number of mudslides were reported in the Santa Cruz Mountains, including one that forced the closure of Two Bar Road and blocked access to 10 homes, said Dinah Phillips, a spokeswoman for Santa Cruz County's Office of Emergency Services. Late Tuesday night, Santa Cruz's San Lorenzo River peaked at 16 feet two feet below flood stage before water levels began to fall, Phillips said. Weather forecasters say a storm arriving Sunday could be the last of a series that have brought wet weather to Northern and Central California. Marin and Santa Cruz counties hit hardest by the latest storm that dumped up to 6 inches of rain over 24 hours.

In Brisbane, about 10 miles south of San Francisco, three homes were evacuated after a mudslide struck a house. The storm was expected to bring light showers as it moved south along the coast over the next couple of days, reaching Southern California on Friday, said Steve Anderson, a meteorologist i Salinas Valley fPW Memorial mm "ik HosPital after a valiant win- ter-long tight with congestive heart failure. She was greatly loved and admired and will be By DON THOMPSON The Associated Press SACRAMENTO A man facing federal terrorism charges "had a jihadi heart and a jihadi mind" long before he confessed to attending an al-Qaida training camp in Pakistan, a prosecutor told jurors Wednesday. Assistant US. Attorney Robert Tice-Raskin used his closing argument to counter testimony that FBI agents and a government informant may have tricked 23-year-old Hamid Hayat into making incriminating statements.

Hayat and his father, from mWARoN "3PERROR the Central Valley agricultural town of Lodi, are on trial in US. District Court for lying about the son's suspected attendance at the terror training camp in 2003. The prosecutor said Hayat freely revealed his intentions to the government informant, who was recruited by the FBI shortly after the September 2001 terror attacks and arrived in Lodi later that year The informant befriended the Hayat family and secretly recorded hundreds of hours of conversations, evidence that became key to the government's case. Hamid Hayat "repeatedly professed support for violent jihad," Tice-Raskin told jurors. "He tells you in his own words, captured forever on tapes, that he was going to jihad, that he was going to training." He said the conversations reveal "the real Hamid Hayat" and show that he "believes heart and soul in violent jihad Hamid Hayat had a jihadi heart and he had a jihadi mind" Tice-Raskin said Jihad is the Arabic term for holy war.

Hamid Hayat's attorney argued that the government doesn't have a case because it has no proof that her client ever went to a terrorist training camp. "The government has shown no evidence that he actually attended; the government has failed to prove its case," attorney Wazhma Mojaddidi said. Rosevule after a lengthy illness.

Michael Morales, 46, is also challenging the state's method of execution, saying it amounts to cruel and unusual punishment. In response to that suit, a federal judge has said a licensed medical practitioner must be present to ensure the drugs are flowing smoothly so Morales would avoid any unnecessary pain, but no licensed practitioner stepped forward. The Feb. 21 scheduled execution then was put on hold, and the judge said he would hold hearings in May on whether the injection method was cruel and unusual punishment. SAN FRANCISCO Talk radio host fired for murder for hire offer A radio talk show host was fired after offering to pay a listener to kill comedian-magician Penn Jillette for racy comments about Mother Teresa John London said he was fired over the weekend from CBS-owned KIFR-FM along with producer Dennis Cruz and sports reporter Chris Townsend for comments made on the air last Wednesday.

London said he was being sarcastic when he offered $5,000 to kill Jillette. "If he suffers, I'll make it $7,000," London said, according to Cruz. Jillette, one-half of the Penn Teller comedy-magic team, said on his syndicated talk show preceding London's that the deceased Catholic icon was a fraud who set up refuges for dying people for "sexual kicks." Jillette said hotel heiress Paris Hilton was morally superior to the late nun. MERCED UC Merced officials propose medical school Officials from the University of California, Merced, met with community members to pitch plans for a medical school at the new campus. The university said Tuesday it would partner with Central Valley hospitals rather than build its own training hospital to get the school started, said Chancellor Carol Tomlinson-Keasey.

The university began talking about adding a medical school to the new campus earlier this year. Doctors and organizations across the Valley have backed the project because it would help retain doctors in a region that lags in the number of physicians per capita statewide. It would cost $100 million to start the school. BEVERLY HILLS Surgeon accused of smuggling illegal implants A plastic surgeon has been charged with smuggling illegal silicone breast implants into the country for use by his patients. Dr.

Frederic H. Corbin, 62, was indicted by a federal grand jury in February and could face up to 10 years in prison if he is convicted of smuggling and falsifying patients' records. Trial was set for May 2, but prosecutors on Wednesday filed a motion to continue the case to October, U.S. attorney's spokesman Thorn Mrozek said. Attorney Drew Cicconi denied that his client created false records and blamed the allegations on a disgruntled former employee.

Silicone implants have been restricted in the United States for over a decade. LOS ANGELES LA. council OKs hiring anti-terrorist force The City Council approved a plan to hire dozens of new police officers and rescue personnel dedicated to counterterrorism and disaster preparedness efforts. Mayor Antonio Vil-laraigosa devised the plan adopted Tuesday to hire 73 police officers and 10 firefighters to improve the city's information sharing with state and federal agencies. The new personnel will cost the city between $4.1 million and $9 million through June 2007, according to city estimates.

SACRAMENTO Chemical smell sickens several people at airport A chemical smell that sickened several people forced the evacuation of a terminal at Sacramento International Airport on Wednesday. Hazardous materials teams responding to the 11:15 am incident concluded that a passenger might have released pepper spray in a part of the terminal that serves United and American airlines. Several people reported eye irritation and coughing, said Karen Doron, a spokeswoman for the Sacramento County Airport System. "We're theorizing it's a possible pepper spray explosion," Doron said. "We never did find a package." SANTA CRUZ Demonstration forces recruiters from UCSC Military recruiters left a campus job fair when about 60 student and faculty antiwar demonstrators showed up outside the event at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Four recruiters from the Army and Army National Guard left after an hour-long standoff Tuesday at the College 8 West Field House. "The recruiters thought the crowd was getting out of control," campus vice chancellor David Kliger said. SANTA CRUZ Couple cited for taking harbor seal pup home A couple is facing a possible $10,000 fine for allegedly taking a harbor seal pup home from the beach. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration cited William Johnsen, 35, and Angie Savage, 34, for allegedly taking the 2-day-old pup from the mouth of San Lorenzo River to their home on March 22. The pup later died of malnutrition and maternal separation.

Johnsen said he thought he was helping the seal pup, which was alone and being harassed by sea gulls. He said the pup was coughing and the couple believed the animal was sick and abandoned.

The group became a trio when Bonnie embarked on a solo career. The group's hits also included "He's So Shy," "Automatic" and "Jump (For My Love)."

They won the first of their three Grammy awards in 1974 for best country vocal performance by a group for the song by her ex-husband, John Joseph Logan Jr. of Half Moon Bay in March 1986; her brother-in-law, Nathan LaDue in December 1991; and her sister, Alma LaDue in October 1995, both of Rochester, NY.
