County fights for pharma funds

Local officials want millions in pharmacy reimbursements from state
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

County officials say the California Department of Mental Health owes them millions of dollars in pharmaceutical reimbursements for the past four years and are pushing to be repaid before the state eliminates the department completely. If the state does not, the Health

System already the biggest chunk of the countys budget could need to tighten its belt even more. San Mateo County has negotiated for the repayment of $8 million of $10 million owed but is still working to settle the remainder, said Connie Juarez-Diroll, legislative director in the County Managers Ofce. The money is Medi-Cal reim-

bursements for behavioral health services dating back to scal year 2007-2008 and the primary disagreement over how much the Legislature allocates for the costs and how much the state can reimburse the county, Juarez said. Part of it is having to go back to demonstrate what was agreed to when, what has already been sent in for payment and recreating a whole scal footprint, Juarez-Diroll said.

How exactly the reimbursements fell through the cracks is unclear. Citing the ongoing discussions between the state and local Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, Health System spokeswoman Robyn Thaw said there are few details available. However, she did said any repayments will ll the budget gap for services already delivered. If the county is not reimbursed,

the Health System would need to cut additional services to make up the difference. With that said, we are optimistic that the state will in fact pay us back, Thaw said in an email. DMH spokesman Sean Tracy did not respond to an inquiry for comment. Although the county has made

More than a year after Foster Citys Mirabella project fell apart, the city has two new proposals to consider for its last prime piece of undeveloped land at the center of the city. Two groups have plans to build senior and affordable housing on the 15-acre lot adjacent to Foster City Hall that the City Council will con-

sider at its Sept. 6 meeting. Based on their selection through a Request for Qualications process, three land development groups were invited to respond to a Request for Proposals but only two groups submitted them by the Aug. 1 deadline. The council will hear competing proposals from Sares-Regis Group of Northern California and a group called Foster City Community

Kardashian, Humphries wed in TV-friendly ceremony
SANTA BARBARA Kris Humphries has ofcially caught up with Kim Kardashian. The basketball pro and the reality star are husband and wife. Kardashian, 30, and Humphries, 26, tied the knot Saturday night in the exclusive Montecito area near Santa Barbara, Calif., Kardashian publicist Jill Fritzo told People magazine and E! The ceremony will be televised as a two-part special on E! in October. It is the rst marriage for Humphries, who last played for the NBAs New Jersey Nets, and the second for Kardashian, star of E!s Keeping Up with the Kardashians. She was married to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004. People and E! reported Kardashian wore an ivory gown designed by Vera Wang. Her stepfather, Bruce Jenner, walked her down the aisle in front of 440 guests, including Demi Lovato, Mario Lopez, Eva Longoria, Sugar Ray Her sisters and TV co-stars Kourtney Kardashian, 32, and Khloe Kardashian, 27, served as co-maids of honor. The groom wore a white peak lapel tuxedo jacket, black tuxedo pants and, a white shirt and a white bow tie, all designed by Ermenegildo Zegna. Kardashian and Humphries began dating late last year and announced their engagement in May. He proposed on bended knee with a 20.5-carat ring by spelling out Will you marry me? in rose petals. Since the couples engagement, the pending nuptials have provided constant fodder for the media and the Kardashians, who posted updates about the wedding on their blogs and websites. The waves of hype that preceded the ceremony didnt seem to faze the bride. Earlier this week, Kardashian said she was totally calm about the muchhyped ceremony. I think that freak-out moment kind of already passed, she said at a party Wednesday to launch her new clothing line at Sears.

The Ohlone Indians collected oysters from the creek and ate them, and then discarded the shells. When the Spanish arrived in 1776 and camped along the creek, they discovered huge mounds of oyster shells adjacent to the creek. After the Spanish arrived in the 1770s, they realized the treasure the creek area was. It had fertile soil and a supply of fresh water so they developed the land for crops for Mission Dolores. In the 1790s, the church built a hospice to the north of the San Mateo Creek (Rancho San Mateo). After the granary was abandoned in the mid-1800s, Nicholas de Peyster squatted on the property until he was kicked off by owner Mr. Howard. De Peyster moved across El Camino Real, purchased a number of acres land south of the creek (on the Rancho de las Pulgas), and built the roadhouse, the San Mateo House, at the corner of Second Avenue and El Camino Real. Later, the son-in-law of Ansel Easton, Edward Taylor, purchased the land and lived there. To the north of Taylors home, in 1864, the George Howard family donated land (two acres) for a church, the Saint Matthews Episcopal Church. The Gothic-style stone edice church was completed in 1866 with the Rev. A.L. Brewer as rector, and this rst stone church in California became the place to worship for many of the areas rich and inuential, such as D.O.

City to hear marijuana appeal

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Three months after banning medical marijuana collectives in South San Francisco, the City Council must discuss the topic again. Before the May ban, the city had rules regulating collective applications. In 2009, the Island of Health Collective submitted the citys first proposal to open a medical marijuana collective at 175 Utah Ave., which was stalled after neighbors appealed the decision in October 2009. The appeal has yet to be

heard since the city postponed the conversation until after the topic could be studied more. The result was the May ban. Since a decision has been made, the application appeal will go before the City Council Wednesday. The original application has not been withdrawn. And the appeal has not been withdrawn. It deserves a hearing, said City Attorney Steve Mattas. Medical marijuana has long been a topic of interest in South San Francisco. City officials began

talking about medical marijuana collectives in 2006; 10 years after California voters passed the Compassionate Use Act permitting the possession and cultivation of marijuana for medical use. At the time, the council unanimously approved regulations filling the gaps left by the state law. The Island of Health Collective was the first to apply and be approved. Neighbors of the proposed collective appealed the decision. In the meantime, the city passed a moratorium on the topic of medical

marijuana collectives which delayed the hearing. In May, the council considered two possible options a competitive process to choose one medical marijuana collective or an outright ban. The council ultimately voted 3-2, with councilmembers Mark Addiego and Karyl Matsumoto in opposition, to ban collectives from the city. As a result, staff is recommending the council approve the appeal effectively denying the medical marijuana collective, Mattas said.

In San Mateo County, Colma, Half Moon Bay, San Bruno and Millbrae have banned collectives. Collectives are allowed in San Carlos, San Mateo and the unincorporated parts of San Mateo County. Many cities Brisbane, Daly City and Redwood City have temporary bans in place. The council meets 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 24 at the Municipal Service Building, 33 Arroyo Drive, South San Francisco.

BART: Protest could disrupt HISTORY Monday evening commute

Continued from page 3
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO BART, under re for cutting wireless communications to quell a protest, is warning another demonstration could disrupt train service. A group calling itself OpBART is asking protesters to gather on Bay Area Rapid Transits Civic Center station platform Monday during evening rush hour. A similar protest a week earlier led to the brief closure

of four downtown San Francisco stations. BART officials issued an alert Sunday warning passengers that the agency may need to close some stations to ensure their safety. They advised passengers to have alternative transportation plans ready. The protests stem from the fatal BART police shooting of a transient at the Civic Center station. The agencys decision to cut cell phone service led to other protests accusing BART of violating free speech rights. clean T-shirt before eeing the train. Detectives were reviewing footage captured by security cameras on the train, on subway platforms and at nearby businesses, Los Angeles County sheriffs officials said Sunday. Investigators were also appealing to members of the public to come forward with information about the stabbing.

Ave. (on Fifth Avenue between Ellsworth and B streets) but moved into part of the completed St. Matthews rectory shortly after it was completed. The increase in students forced the Rev. Brewer to build another structure to the east of the rectory in 1872. This wooden, three-story building eased the space problem and the reverend concentrated on building a excellent reputation of the hall for education and character building for the students that came from many of the best families on the Peninsula as well as from abroad. In the 1880s, it had the reputation as a classical and military school. In 1892, however, the school moved to Brewer Avenue in Hillsborough and the Matthew Hall became converted by the Rev. George Wallace into the St. Margarets School for Girls. In 1903, the building was being used as the first San Mateo High School. In the earthquake of 1906, St. Matthews Episcopal Church was totally destroyed and had to be rebuilt. The Rev. Gallaway, who was the rector now, hired Willis Polk to design a new church along the lines of the first church. It was built on the same

site as the first church. In 1907, Elizabeth Mills Reid, daughter of Darius Ogden Mills, recognized that the earthquake victims were not given adequate health care due to lack of a hospital in San Mateo. She at once pronounced that a hospital had to be built to serve the physical as was as the spiritual well-being of all people. It was a Christian obligation to immediately correct this deciency in the community. The Rev. Gallwey became the rst president of the newly formed Church of St. Matthew Red cross Guild. (The name was later changed to Church of St. Matthew Mills Memorial Hospital). The dispensary, room for six patients as well as nurses quarters, was built to the southwest of the church (on church grounds) along El Camino Real. When this proved inadequate, another building was constructed in 1909 that could accommodate 24 patients. With more patients and space demands, the hospital became spread over the land south of the creek. During the period of increased educational facilities, as well as the growth of Mills Hospital, the church continued to fulll its obligation of serving the Episcopal faith in this community of San Mateo.

Student safety at heart of medical debate

By Sheila V. Kumar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Parents with children who suffer from epilepsy can be haunted by the possibility that their child, while at school, could suffer permanent brain damage because of a lack of access to a potentially lifesaving medication. A anti-seizure gel called Diastat has to be administered rectally within minutes of a seizure by a licensed nurse or other trained caregiver. If one isnt available or nearby, a call to 911 may not bring help fast enough to prevent lasting impairment. Aiming to help remedy that, a Senate bill would authorize California school districts to voluntarily participate in a program training nonmedical personnel on how to

administer the medication to students suffering from an epileptic attack. But the bill has pitted teachers and nurses against parents with both Bob Huff sides stressing that their main concern is for the safety of the children. SB 161, by Republican Sen. Bob Huff of Diamond Bar, builds off of similar legislation stipulating that nonmedical personnel, such as teachers or gym coaches, can volunteer to receive emergency medical training dealing with students with acute allergies or diabetes. Diastat is prescribed by doctors and administered by licensed care-

givers rectally to a person having a seizure. Proponents of the bill want the medication to be treated like an EpiPen or Glucagon, emergency medications that are injected while a person is having an allergy attack or suffering from severe hypoglycemia. Diastat is gelled Valium, Huff said. The applicator has a exible tip, its designed for nonmedical personnel. It comes in pre-dosed syringes put out by the pediatrician taking care of the kids. While nurses and teachers argue that only a licensed professional should administer Diastat, parents want the assurance their child can still receive a life-saving drug, even when a nurse isnt around. Michael Kilbourn, a legislative advocate for Legislative and Management Strategies, said the

medication must be given within ve minutes of an epileptic attack to prevent possibly irreparable brain damage or even death. The drug had been used for 10 years in California school districts by registered nurses or trained nonmedical personnel. But two years ago, Kilbourn said, the Bureau of Registered Nurses said there is no authorization in law for nonmedical personnel in schools to administer Diastat. So nurses who had already been training nonmedical personnel could no longer train. So we decided to put authorization in law, he said. School districts get nervous when they thought there werent authorization codes, so many districts were afraid to go ahead and administer even if they had trained staff. Our bottom line is, we have to

protect those children. Some teachers say the bill would effectively coerce them into signing up for training that they dont feel qualied or prepared for. Theres a feeling that those who would not volunteer, jobs could later be in jeopardy. Theres a feeling there really would not be an opportunity refuse to volunteer because there could be some repercussions later. Theres a feeling there could be that kind of pressure, said Sandra Jackson a spokeswoman for the California Teachers Association. Instructions on how to administer the gel cover two large posters full of diagrams, charts, instructions and warnings, including one that says the drug should only be given by caregivers who have been trained by a physician.

Deaf man battling to join Army after auditing ROTC

Vallejo emerging from bankruptcy

By Terry Collins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NORTHRIDGE Keith Nolan spent a decade applying repeatedly to the Armys Reserve Officers Training Corps program before the deaf mans tenacity paid off and a commander nally let him audit the classes. Nolan became a top performer in the ROTC programs Bravo Company at California State University at Northridge, and his instructors were so impressed they let him wear a uniform. He was distraught when he turned it back in and said goodbye to the other cadets in May. He could advance no further under the militarys current policy that requires cadets pass a hearing test to be commissioned by the Army.

It was a stinging moment that burned in the soul of the bespectacled 29-year-old teacher, who is determined to break that barrier and achieve his lifetime dream of working in military intelligence. All I really want to do is join the Army, said Nolan, a confident, clean-cut man with a boyish face who signed to an interpreter in an interview at the universitys ROTC ofce. He was anked by posters with inspirational messages urging people to join. I want to do my duty, serve my country and experience that camaraderie, and I cant, owed to the fact that Im deaf. Soldiers with disabilities have been returning to active duty in increasing numbers due largely to the fact that medical advances today are ensuring more people survive serious war injuries.

VALLEJO City Councilwoman Marti Brown was euphoric when she learned this historic Northern California town had received federal court approval for its plan to emerge from bankruptcy. For three years it has had the dubious distinction of being among the nations largest bankrupt burgs. The first thing I said was Yeehaw!, Brown said. It feels good to nally take off these shackles. We nally get to look ahead to the future. Vallejo, one of the original capitals of California, was once a thriving naval center on San Pablo Bay, about 30 miles northeast of San Francisco. But in 2008, this diverse workingclass city of about 116,000 was faced with tens of millions of dollars in debt and led for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection. Funds for paying benets to cur-

rent and retired city workers dried up; both the police and re departments shrank by more than 40 percent; about 60 percent of city homeowners tanked on their mortgages, and storefronts went vacant. Unemployment spiked to 15 percent. Last month, a federal judge approved Vallejos $50 million debtrestructuring plan, which included lower interest payments to creditors, leaner employee contracts and reduced benets to retirees, who now must pay more for their health plans. Vallejo City Manager Phil Batchelor said that although the city survived an ordeal, scal discipline must be closely observed. The city recently passed a $65 million budget for a second straight year, down from previous budgets as high as $83 million. This hasnt been easy for anyone, but were stable. Were sustainable, said Batchelor, who has assisted other Northern California cities and counties with scal problems. We have to stick to our plan. There is no

wiggle room. While Vallejo has emerged from bankruptcy, other locales across the country are still in scal crisis. Earlier this month, cash-strapped Central Falls, R.I., a city of 19,000 about north of Providence, filed Chapter 9, citing $80 million in unfunded pension and benets obligations and decits of $5 million or more projected over the next ve years. And ofcials in Jefferson County, Ala., where Birmingham is located, are pondering whether to take a similar route to offset a $3.14 billion debt mostly tied in bonds for a new sewer system. Harrisburg, Pa., also has also been irting with Chapter 9. Like many other municipalities, Vallejo allowed employees to accrue sick leave and vacation time with the promise that it could be cashed in at retirement. But the recession stripped the citys tax base, and employee unions rejected wage concessions. Vallejo then led for bankruptcy.

I was having trouble even walking up the stairs. I had four epidurals, which didn't help much. I started my mornings off with pain medication. For the past two years, I had to sleep in a recliner with a pillow underneath my legs. I had seen two chiropractors, a physical therapist, and a pain management specialist, but nothing helped. My doctor recommended surgery but surgery terrifies me. Too many unknowns and too many horror stories. How Pain Has Been Treated in the Past. Are Drugs and Shots the Answer? Until now, people have masked their pain by frequently taking prescription pain pills or by getting cortisone, epidural or steroid injections. This type of relief masks the cause, is temporary, and more often can lead to even more pain or worse yet, addiction to drugs. Many people innocently fall into abusing prescription pain pills while initially using them to alleviate pain. Do you know that prescription medications kill more people every year than illegal drugs do? How many stories have we heard in the news over the last year of people dying from abuse of prescription pills? With all the potential side effects are pain pills really the best long term solution to pain?

GOP may approve tax increase

By Charles Babington
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON News ash: Congressional Republicans want to raise your taxes. Impossible, right? GOP lawmakers are so virulently anti-tax, surely they will ght to prevent a payroll tax increase on virtually every wage-earner starting Jan. 1, right? Apparently not. Many of the same Republicans who fought hammer-and-tong to keep the George W. Bush-era income tax cuts from expiring on schedule are now saying a different temporary tax cut should end as planned. By their own denition, that amounts to a tax increase. The tax break extension they oppose is sought by President

There are things we can do right now that will mean more customers for businesses and more jobs across the country.We can cut payroll taxes again,so families have an extra $1,000 to spend.
President Barack Obama

Barack Obama. Unlike proposed changes in the income tax, this policy helps the 46 percent of all Americans who owe no federal income taxes but who pay a payroll tax on practically every dime they earn. There are other differences as well, and Republicans say their stand is consistent with their goal of long-term tax policies that will spur

employment and lend greater certainty to the economy. Its always a net positive to let taxpayers keep more of what they earn, says Rep. Jeb Hensarling, but not all tax relief is created equal for the purposes of helping to get the economy moving again. The Texas lawmaker is on the House GOP leadership team. The debate is likely to boil up in

coming weeks as a special bipartisan committee seeks big deficit reductions and weighs which tax cuts are sacrosanct. At issue is a tax that the vast majority of workers pay, but many dont recognize because they dont read, or dont understand their pay stubs. Workers normally pay 6.2 percent of their wages toward a tax designated for Social Security. Their employer pays an equal amount, for a total of 12.4 percent per worker. As part of a bipartisan spending deal last December, Congress approved Obamas request to reduce the workers share to 4.2 percent for one year; employers rate did not change. Obama wants Congress to extend the reduction for an additional year. If not, the rate

will return to 6.2 percent on Jan. 1. Obama cited the payroll tax in his weekend radio and Internet address Saturday, when he urged Congress to work together on measures that help the economy and create jobs. There are things we can do right now that will mean more customers for businesses and more jobs across the country. We can cut payroll taxes again, so families have an extra $1,000 to spend, he said. Social Security payroll taxes apply only to the rst $106,800 of a workers wages. Therefore, $2,136 is the biggest benet anyone can gain from the one-year reduction. The great majority of Americans make less than $106,800 a year. Millions of workers pay more in payroll taxes than in federal income taxes.

A Social Security program is closer to being insolvent

Pentagon adapts to new fight

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Laid-off workers and aging baby boomers are ooding Social Securitys disability program with benet claims, pushing the nancially strapped system toward the brink of insolvency. Applications are up nearly 50 percent over a decade ago as people with disabilities lose their jobs and cant nd new ones in an economy that has shed nearly 7 million jobs. The stampede for benefits is adding to a growing backlog of applicants many wait two years or more before their cases are resolved and worsening the financial problems of a program thats been running in the red for years. New congressional estimates say the trust fund that supports Social Security disability will run out of money by 2017, leaving the program unable to pay full benets, unless Congress acts. About two decades later, Social Securitys

much larger retirement fund is projected to run dry as well. Much of the focus in Washington has been on xing Social Securitys retirement system. Proposals range from raising the retirement age to means-testing benets for wealthy retirees. But the disability system is in much worse shape and its problems defy easy solutions. The trustees who oversee Social Security are urging Congress to shore up the disability system by reallocating money from the retirement program, just as lawmakers did in 1994. That would provide only short-term relief at the expense of weakening the retirement program. Claims for disability benets typically increase in a bad economy because many disabled people get laid off and cant nd a new job. This year, about 3.3 million people are expected to apply for federal disability benefits. Thats 700,000 more than in 2008 and 1 million more than a decade ago.

WASHINGTON The Sept. 11 attacks transformed the Pentagon, ravaging the iconic building itself and setting the stage for two long and costly wars that reordered the way the American military ghts. Compared with a decade ago, the military is bigger, more closely connected to the CIA, more practiced at taking on terrorists and more respected by the American public. But its members also are growing weary from war, committing suicide at an alarming rate and training less

for conventional warfare. The partly gutted Pentagon was restored with remarkable speed after the hijacked American Airlines Boeing 757 slammed through its west side, setting the building ablaze and killing 184 people. But recovering from the strain of ghting in Iraq and Afghanistan will take far longer possibly decades. The Pentagons leaders will have to adjust to a new era of austerity after a decade in which the defense budget doubled, to nearly $700 billion this year. The Army and Marine Corps in

particular both still heavily engaged in Afghanistan will struggle to retrain, rearm and reinvigorate their badly stretched forces even as budgets begin to shrink. And the troops themselves face an uncertain future; many are scarred by the mental strains of battle, and some face transition to civilian life at a time of economic turmoil and high unemployment. The cost of veterans care will march higher. As Robert Gates put it shortly before he stepped down as defense secretary this summer, peace will bring its own problems.

Schools cut costs with 4-day week

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

IRENE, S.D. When the nearly 300 students of the Irene-Wakonda School District returned to school this week, they found a lot of old friends, teachers and familiar routines awaiting them. But one thing was missing: Friday classes. This district in the rolling farmland of southeastern South Dakota

is among the latest to adopt a fourday school week as the best option for reducing costs and dealing with state budget cuts to education. It got down to monetary reasons more than anything else, Superintendent Larry Johnke said. The $50,000 savings will preserve a vocational education program that otherwise would have been scrapped. The four-school week is an

increasingly visible example of the impact of state budget problems on rural education. This fall, fully onefourth of South Dakotas districts will have moved to some form of the abbreviated schedule. Only Colorado and Wyoming have a larger proportion of schools using a shortened week. According to one study, more than 120 school districts in 20 states, most in the west, now use four-day weeks.

Biden: U.S. assets in China safe

By Christopher Bodeen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHENGDU, China Vice President Joe Biden wrapped up a visit to China on Sunday that offered him extensive face-time with the countrys expected future leader, Xi Jinping, and delivered a strong message of U.S. mutual interdependence with the worlds second-largest economy. Biden also made the case for continued U.S. economic vitality despite current budget woes and sought to reassure Chinas leaders and ordinary citizens about the safety of their assets in the United States following the downgrading of Americas credit rating. Youre safe, Biden told students in a question-and-answer session following a speech at Sichuan University in the southwestern city of Chengdu.

An official Xinhua News Agency commentary on Bidens visit said Sunday that China would be looking for actions, rather than words, Joe Biden from the U.S. government to restore condence in the American economy by gradually reducing the decit, cutting debt and promoting economic growth. What is especially important is to let the world see that the U.S. government and relevant departments have the determination, ability and political aspiration to take actions to resolve these complicated issues, the commentary said. Biden and Xi, Chinas vice president who is expected to begin taking over the top leadership next year,

later visited a high school that was rebuilt after the devastating 2008 earthquake, partly with the help of U.S. government and private assistance. In his remarks to students, Biden emphasized the frequent exchanges between President Barack Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao along with government ofcials in the political and economic eld. He said there needed to be more contacts between their civilian and military leaders over security issues, especially on cybersecurity and maritime issues where the sides view matters from different perspectives. Our generals should be talking to each other as frequently as our diplomats, said Biden, who held formal talks with Xi and President Hu Jintao during his ve-day visit. Military-to-military exchanges have a troubled history, with China suspending them to register its anger

at U.S. actions on the political front or toward Taiwan, the U.S. ally Beijing claims as its own territory. Though revived last year, they face a new threat when the U.S. announces on Oct. 1 whether it will provide new F-16 warplanes to the island. Biden said the U.S. and China both need global stability, including preventing Iran and North Korea from obtaining nuclear weapons. He also reasserted that the U.S. will remain a Pacic nation in the future, saying that the American presence has beneted regional stability and allowed China to focus on economic development. Biden said he recognized frustrations among many Chinese businesspeople and ofcials at the time needed to obtain visas to visit the U.S. and said Washington was working on improvements. Addressing complaints over restrictions on hightech exports to China, he said

Washington had struck 1,000 items off the blacklist. But he said U.S. companies continue to face major investment barriers in China, a frequent complaint in the U.S. business community here. He said U.S. businesses were locked out of entire elds and face restrictions that no other major economy imposes on us or so broadly. Rather than fearing Chinese competition, the U.S. relishes the pressure to become more competitive and hopes for continued Chinese prosperity, with the $110 billion in U.S. exports to China last year generating hundreds of thousands of jobs, Biden said. Chinas concerns over its $1.2 trillion in U.S. Treasury holdings have featured high in the media and national consciousness, underscored by squabbles over raising the U.S. debt ceiling and downgrading of Americas credit rating.

Letters to the editor

Taxing corporate
Editor, The demonization of corporations by liberal forces is intriguing considering that virtually all such progressives patronize and rely on numerous businesses for their necessities and investments. Quite simply, if you increase the tax on small companies (many earning over $200,000 a year) or large corporations, such expenses are clearly passed on to all consumers in the form of escalating expenditures and diminished returns on 401Ks and IRAs, allowing escalating unemployment due to additional company closures and retrenchments and job outsourcing, ultimately compelling the freshly unemployed to channel a further drain on taxpayers with a surge in unemployment benefits. The heart of destructive forces agitating the global economy is the invisible elephant in the room: Government. Business owners around the country fear to commit capital, now totaling more than $2 trillion, when oppressive and mounting regulations, Obamacare, increased taxes and EPA restrictions on economical power production loom large as unknown expenditures in the future. The enforced switch by the EPA from coal to natural gas will expand electricity bills by 25 to 35 percent in the Detroit area alone. The onerous taxation and regulation of business amounts to, as the adage goes, killing the goose that lays the golden egg. As Ronald Reagan once noted: Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other. With gratitude to our leaders in the logic-free zone that epitomizes Washington, D.C., our intractable budget deficit is testament to that. something but if all youre going to do is sit at the computer and cut and paste things from each other verbatim in an effort to make it appear as if theres more support for (or against) something, please dont waste the publics time or the editorial pages of the local papers. Did you somehow believe that local readers that stay informed wouldnt stay informed by reading more than one local publication? opinion page. I have written many letters to the local papers but the only one that prints them, is yours. A sign of a true Journal, not a biased or exclusive rag. Thank you. Also, my letters are opinion. Opinion based on information from not only sources friendly to my beliefs, but also from those friendly to the other side, however painful to me. My opinion is that President Obama knew what the circumstances were when he accepted the job of president. Its now almost three years out and hes still using Bush as an excuse for problems and so are his true believers. When will he accept responsibility for his actions during his term? I regret Bushs behavior during his last four years. Sure made me look at what the Republican party stands for now. Thats a huge reason why I have now stepped back to see how both parties are responsible for this mess. We now need a bold, strong constitutionalist to bring this great country back to its founding philosophy. Are you doing better now than seven years ago? Again, thanks for giving my opinion a voice.

Response to Letter: Clarification on previous letter

Editor, Mark Simon, executive officer for public affairs of SamTrans, attempts to clarify his perceived confusion regarding my original letter (in his letter Letter: Clarification on previous letter of the July 25 edition of the San Mateo Daily Journal) by pointing out that the $25 million investment loss which I attributed to SamTrans was really incurred by the San Mateo County Transportation Authority (TA). He then states, for the sake of the permanent record, that SamTrans is the managing agency for the TA and for Caltrain. Now I am confused. He then states that we have watched closely and supportively the leadership effort of San Mateo County to recover these lost funds for all county entities and we appreciate that those efforts have focused on legislative initiatives, rather than lawsuits. I expect those legislative initiatives are aimed at ensuring that such risky investment of public funds never happens again, and that corporate disclosure requirements of financial institutions, such as Lehmen Brothers, result in more transparency. What about these agencies of government who gambled bond proceeds and accumulated sales tax dollars in their attempt to grow their voter approved funding? Are they not culpable? How much are they spending on lawyers to recover the losses from their indiscretions?

his country will not be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in. Theodore Roosevelt. Now thats the kind of guy Id vote for of course, after checking his record on many of the issues. This made me think about what kind of person would make a really good president of the United States. Ive come up with important qualications that a candidate who I could be enthusiastic about would possess. Though President Obama has many of the following qualities, its too bad that the rhetoric during the campaign so often doesnt match the reality of a presidency. This person would be very intelligent, well-educated and a deep thinker not just some charismatic politician who can fool gullible voters. They would have had much experience in national politics and government preferably in the House or Senate. They would have integrity and ethics and principles that are sincere and evident. We would feel condent that they are honest, decent, responsible, compassionate and connected to reality. This person would have the best interests of the people of this country at heart instead of constantly being inuenced by special interests. World peace would be rst and foremost in their mind. They would not be inuenced by warmongers. This would include concentrating on taking care of things here at home before those of other countries. He/she would have a humanistic spirituality about them that gives us a feeling of empathy, humility, self-respect and respect for all of humanity but would not be ardently religious especially not attached to some fundamentalist church that demands rigid conformity from its members. This is very important because religious zealots are innately dogmatic. As Judy J. Johnson wrote in Whats Wrong with Being Absolutely Right, For the dogmatist, not knowing is an embarrassment to be concealed. As an antidote to fear, ignorance and powerlessness, dogmatism calms the mind and conquers the nameless dread of uncertainty. But it comes at the expense of reasoned judgment and social dignity. Especially those who profess their beliefs as part of their political candidacy are rmly convinced that their way is the only way and that they are infallible and the rest of us are inferior sinners who must be convinced to see the light. They give off this aura of humility and righteousness, but they reek of arrogance and condescension. Think Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Sarah Palin. This underlies a dependence on faith and a willingness to turn ones life over to those who would use others for their own purposes. Even some supposedly intelligent people live in this fantasy world and go along with and defend the fairy tales. People who harbor strong convictions without evidence belong at the margins of our societies, not in the halls of power. Sam Harris, The End of Faith. Then there are those who do not necessarily publicly broadcast their faith, but are tied to very dogmatic religions. Last June 23, a new survey found that 22 percent of voters would not vote for a Mormon for president even if they were to agree with his stance on the issues. Some pundits were aghast, citing the presidency of John F. Kennedy and claiming concerns about his Catholicism were unfounded. But with the 2012 election coming up, maybe that 22 percent dont want to vote for a person who believes a bunch of myths perpetrated by a hallucinating man who heard voices, saw visions and had revelations. Maybe those voters are worried that no matter how much a Mormon (or any other fundamentalist type) candidate may claim otherwise, his mind-set is going to inuence his decisions, the way he approaches problems and national issues, and especially his dream for Americas future. Recall George W. and how he believed he was called by God. How can we have a well-functioning democracy unless leaders and voters alike have open and skeptical minds that havent been rendered sclerotic by catechistic beliefs, have their minds securely planted in reality and rmly believe in separation of church and state? Call me a bigot or sinful, or terribly politically incorrect, or worse, but arent fundamentalist religions and a democratic republic incompatible? Isnt it important for presidential candidates to be open minded enough to understand the needs and the future of this nation clearly and not be clouded by a religious fog of proselytization? We may be sincere in our religious beliefs, but that doesnt mean we are right. Nobody has a monopoly on truth. Nobody has a monopoly on religion. Nobody has a monopoly on moral values. To pretend otherwise is not the proof of great faith, its a sign of great folly. Bill Press, How the Republicans Stole Religion.

Markets feed fear

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The stock market is starting to feed economic fear, not just reflect it. Stocks have fallen four weeks in a row. Some on Wall Street worry that the resulting blow to confidence, not to mention 401(k) statements, has set off a spiral of fear that could push prices even lower, cause people and businesses to pull back and tip the economy into a new recession. Im nervous that fear will lead companies to stop hiring and people to stop spending, says Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist of Wells Capital Management, famous for his usually bullish take on the markets. A home sales report this past week showed that more sales than usual fell apart at the last minute, which suggests plunging stocks and dismal economic news gave buyers cold feet. At least 16 percent of deals were canceled ahead of closings last month, four times the rate in May. Beth Ann Bovino, senior economist at Standard & Poors, says that another

big plunge in stocks could push us closer to the brink. The Standard & Poors 500 stock index ended Friday at 1,123.53, down 5 percent for the week. The average is down 16 percent during the four-week losing streak. One reason for the drop is fear that another recession, if not certain, is more likely now. The run of bad economic news started last month when the government said the economy grew much more weakly in the first half of this year than thought. Growth, at an annual rate of 0.8 percent, was the slowest since the Great Recession ended in June 2009. The economic weakness has made investors more likely to sell stocks at the first hint that things are getting worse. And last week, they got signs aplenty. A regional survey by the Federal Reserve said manufacturing had slowed in the mid-Atlantic states by the most in more than two years. Existing home sales fell in July for third time in four months. Another report showed that exports from Japan, the worlds thirdbiggest economy, had slumped for the

fifth straight month. Japan is still reeling from the effects of an earthquake and tsunami in March. The housing market, which usually helps lead an economic recovery, keeps getting worse. The plunging stock market and scary economic news wont make it any better. What youre seeing with the economy, on the job front its scaring a lot of people, says Brian Fine, a loan manager at Mortgage Master in Rockville, Md. He says the housing market will languish until buyers and sellers feel more secure about the economy. People are really motivated by larger economic trends. Its all about if you feel confident enough to buy a home right now, he says. The news from Europe got worse, too. Its economy has slowed considerably even in Germany, which has been its greatest source of strength. Fear spread that European banks, already ailing because they hold bonds of countries that are struggling with debt, were having trouble getting shortterm loans to pay for day-to-day activities.

Data spill shows risk of online health records

By Jordan Robertson

SAN FRANCISCO Until recently, medical files belonging to nearly 300,000 Californians sat unsecured on the Internet for the entire world to see. There were insurance forms, Social Security numbers and doctors notes. Among the les were summaries that spelled out, in painstaking detail, a truckers crushed ngers, a maintenance workers broken ribs and one mans bout with sexual dysfunction. At a time of mounting computer hacking threats, the incident offers an alarming glimpse at privacy risks as the nation moves steadily into an era in which every Americans sensitive medical

information will be digitized. Electronic records can lower costs, cut bureaucracy and ultimately save lives. The government is offering bonuses to early adopters and threatening penalties and cuts in payments to medical providers who refuse to change. But there are not-so-hidden costs with modernization. When things go wrong, they can really go wrong, says Beth Givens, director of the nonprot Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, which tracks data breaches. Even the most well-designed systems are not safe. ... This case is a good example of how the human element is the weakest link. Southern California Medical-Legal Consultants, which represents doctors and hospitals seeking payment from

patients receiving workers compensation, put the records on a website that it believed only employees could use, owner Joel Hecht says. The personal data was discovered by Aaron Titus, a researcher with Identity Finder who then alerted Hechts rm. He found it through Internet searches, a common tactic for nding private information posted on unsecured sites. The data were available to anyone in the world with half a brain and access to Google, Titus says. Titus says Hechts company failed to use two basic techniques that could have protected the data requiring a password and instructing search engines not to index the pages. He called the breach likely a case of felony stupidity.

Grocery workers oppose contract

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Thousands of Southern California grocery workers have voted overwhelmingly to reject a health care proposal from major supermarket chains and authorize their union leaders to call a strike, a spokesman said Sunday. More than 90 percent of voters from the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 770, which has about 62,000 members, rejected the proposal from Vons, Ralphs and Albertsons stores. The rejection automatically authorizes union ofcials to call a strike after 72 hours Shimpock said the union would not release precise numbers on how many voted, but said the turnout was huge. The union will report the results to the disputes federal mediator on Monday and Shimpock said more talks would likely follow. Were willing to come back to the table and stay there, Shimpock said. Our goal here is not to go on strike, we dont want to go on strike, but unfortunately weve been pushed into a corner by these corporations. A four-month strike and lockout that began in 2003 cost Ralphs and other grocery chains an estimated $2 billion. In a written statement Sunday, Vons stressed the fact that negotiations were ongoing. The employers intend to stay focused and engaged in the bargaining process, the Vons release said. We remain hopeful that we can peacefully reach a settlement that works for both sides. We would urge the union leadership to do the same. To prepare for a possible strike, Albertsons has started to advertise for temporary replacement workers to make sure its stores can stay open, chain spokesman Fred Muir said Sunday. Asking for strike authorization is a common tactic in negotiations and does not necessarily mean a strike will be called. Getting sidetracked by these tactics , Muir said.

Police seek witnesses after stadium shootings

By Terry Collins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Police interviewed witnesses and looked for suspects Sunday after two men were shot and wounded following a San Francisco 49ers-Oakland Raiders preseason game, while the NFL and the mayors of the two cities jointly called for an end to

intimidation and acts of violence at sporting events. Saturday nights shooting in the parking lot at Candlestick Park evoked memories of another recent disturbing act of post-game violence involving two rival California pro sports teams the near-fatal beating this spring of a San Francisco Giants fan outside Dodger Stadium.

In Saturdays attacks, a 24-yearold man, who reportedly was wearing a F--- the Niners T-shirt, remained hospitalized in serious condition Sunday after being shot several times in the stomach. He managed to stumble to Candlestick Park stadium security for help despite the severe injuries, police said. A second victim, a 20-year-old

man, was treated for less serious wounds in a separate shooting, also after the game. Sgt. Mike Andraychak said Sunday that police are looking for a person of interest connected to at least one of the shootings. He would not specify which shooting. A motive for either attack including whether either was inuenced by emotions surrounding a

game involving ercely rival teams also wasnt known. Apart from the shootings, a third victim was also hospitalized in serious condition Sunday after he was knocked unconscious in a stadium bathroom during the football game. That attack appeared unrelated to the other two, authorities said.

Sandoval lifts Giants past Astros

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON The San Francisco Giants had several good chances to beat the Houston Astros. It took them until the 11th inning to nd one that worked. Pablo Sandoval hit a tie-breaking two-run homer with two out in the 11th inning to lead the Giants to a 6-4 victory Sunday. The score had been tied 4-4 since the fourth Pablo Sandoval inning and the Giants missed a few opportunities to take the lead until Sandovals 15th homer off Mark Melancon (6-4). Its been tough for the Giants lately. Theyve lost 17 of their last 23 games. The Astros made two outstanding defensive plays to keep the score tied. Its frustrating, especially when youve been in a streak like weve been in and lost two straight here, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Youre hoping that somebody comes through but they made two unbelievable defensive plays that

saved them. It was a great job on their part. Sandoval, playing with nagging injuries, was pleased to get it over. Im tired, Sandoval said. I just was looking for a pitch to hit. Now we go home, got a day off and come Tuesday, play hard. Ive been hurting so Ill enjoy that day. I just want to play and help team win a game. Jeremy Affeldt (2-2) pitched two innings for the victory. He has allowed one earned in 17 1-3 innings since the All-Star break. The Giants left 12 base runners stranded, including seven over the nal ve innings. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for the Astros, equaling their longest of the season. Brandon Belt hit a three-run homer in the second inning and had a career high four hits. The Astros kept coming up with big defensive plays to keep the score tied. I thought our guys did a great job of battling all the way until the end, Astros manager Brad Mills said. It seemed like the leadoff guy got on in every inning. Our guys had to really buckle down and work out of

OAKLAND Guillermo Moscoso had nothing to show for the best outing yet of his young career. Thats only because home run leader Jose Bautista got a hold of one. It wasnt even a bad pitch. Moscoso allowed three hits over a career-high eight innings, including Bautistas majors-best 36th home run, but the Oakland Athletics couldnt gure out Torontos Luis Perez and Casey Janssen and were

one-hit in a 1-0 loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday. Sometimes youre going to have great days like this and youre going to get the loss, said Moscoso, who struck out seven and walked one. That was today. Perez worked out of a basesloaded jam in the sixth and pitched brilliantly in his rst start at this level. Bautista broke up a scoreless game with a deep drive into the lefteld bleachers on the 10th pitch he

SAN FRANCISCO Coach Jim Harbaugh remains condent the San Francisco 49ers will work out a fair new contract for two-time Pro Bowl running back Frank Gore. Harbaugh dismissed reports Sunday that Gore is unhappy with negotiations, calling it water-cooler talk. No, I dont sense unhappiness in Frank, Harbaugh said in a conference call on the heels of a 17-3 exhibition victory over the Oakland Raiders on Saturday night. ... Reports, conversations, talking points, things youre asking me, it all is and sounds like water-cooler talk to me. Im not interested in it, in the water-cooler talk. I dont think theres any sub-

stance to the things youre asking me and the examples that youre citing. Well deal with Frank man to man and wont listen to Jim Harbaugh the water-cooler talk, so to speak, and deal with Frank and his agent. Hopefully soon theres a deal thats fair for Frank and the 49ers. Im looking forward to that and our organization is. The 28-year-old Gore said last week he hopes to get a new longterm deal from the Niners before the Sept. 11 season opener against Seattle. He missed the nal ve games last season with a fractured right hip

sustained in a Monday night game at Arizona on Nov. 29, but insists he is fully healthy now. He avoided surgery after doctors told him he likely could return to form with rehabilitation. Gore begins the year third on the franchise career rushing list. He needs 931 yards to be No. 1, but has said thats not his top priority for a franchise that hasnt reached the playoffs or had a winning season since 2002. Gore, who held out for the rst four days of training camp, said last week he hasnt received any word from the team on a potential extension. He spent several minutes chatting with general manager Trent Baalke at the start of Tuesdays practice.

includes $21 million guaranteed. Williams was sidelined for 10 games last year with a sprained right foot. San Francisco rewarded All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis and tight end Vernon Davis last year before the season started. On the eve of the 2010 opener, Davis signed a ve-year extension worth $37 million overall, including $34 million guaranteed making him the highest-paid tight end in NFL history. In May 2010, Willis received a $50 milto make sure we have a full understanding of the facts. We will continue to work closely with our clubs and law enforcement agencies to support our fan conduct and stadium security initiatives, Aiello said 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, who also once was a coach in the Raiders organization, said he was saddened to hear about the spate of violence. I didnt know anything was going on during the game. I wasnt aware of that, Harbaugh said. I feel bad for the people who got injured and the people who had to see that, for those who had to witness it. Andraychak said police were interviewing witnesses Sunday, and encouraged others who may have tips or who saw the violence to come forward. The attacks come about five months after San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow was severely beaten by two men in Los Angeles Dodgers gear outside Dodger Stadium after the archrivals season opener March 31. Two suspects have been charged in the case. Police Sgt. Frank Harrell said Saturday that the man shot wearing a T-shirt referring to the 49ers with an obscenity, drove his truck to a gate and stumbled to stadium security. The other man was shot before that in lion, ve-year contract extension that takes him through the 2016 season and includes $29 million in guaranteed money. He earns $10 million per season. I hope they do (reward me), Gore said last week. If they dont, Ill become a free agent. Gore ran for 853 yards and three touchdowns in his sixth NFL season and caught 46 passes for 452 yards and two TDs. Gores 24 100-yard rushing games are the most in 49ers history. the parking lot and had superficial face injuries, Harrell said. Harrell told reporters outside the stadium that the two shootings were being treated separately but we believe they are related. He did not elaborate. In the attack on Stow, the Giants fan beaten nearly to death almost five months ago, the two men charged in the beating, Louie Sanchez, 28, and Marvin Norwood, 30, have pleaded not guilty. Stow, 42, a Santa Cruz paramedic, suffered severe brain injuries and remains hospitalized in serious condition. Doctors say while the father of two has made significant improvement, its still unclear how far Stows recovery will take him. That attack drew widespread attention and focusing the spotlight on security at Dodger Stadium, and the intense rivalry among Dodgers and Giants fans. Christian End, an assistant professor at Xavier University in Cincinnati, who specializes in sports fan behavior, said there are several factors for unruliness at sporting events. Those factors include the magnitude of the game, if it is between arch rivals, adrenaline and alcohol. Theres also deindividuation, when fans supporting a particular team adopt

Also Sunday, Harbaugh said San Francisco would consider bringing in a punter this week if Andy Lees injured right hip limits him heading into Saturdays preseason game against the Texans. I dont think itll be a long-term issue, Harbaugh said. I dont know how long it will take to get right. If he cant punt this week or would be limited in the game, wed denitely have to consider bringing in a punter this week. a group mentality and may become uncivil. The anonymity of large crowds can afford some fans the opportunity to act in a way that they typically wouldnt because theres less accountability and less fear of repercussion, End said. In sporting events, our norms and mores are different than how we would act in everyday life. End said violence between fans of opposing teams can typically begin with light banter, followed up by one-upping the other usually with statistics or other quirky chatter that could draw a crowd. That could lead to trash talking. Then it could be taken up a notch where the fun aspect is gone and it just escalates, End said. End said he doesnt believe fan violence has increased in the last 10 years but may appear that way partially due to all of the new technology at hand. There are more cameras covering games and more fans using their smartphones, End said. Any acts of aggression have a higher probability of being captured and being shown over the Internet and on television. It would give the impression that, Boy, fans are engaging in all of this aggressive behavior. But you have to remember that a vast majority of them are not.

D-Backsskid continues in 1-0 loss to Braves

By Charles Odum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA Kirk Gibson said his slumping Arizona team was going to go down swinging against the Braves. Swinging and missing, as it turned out. Rookie closer Craig Kimbrel struck out Arizonas Paul Goldschmidt and Sean Burroughs with runners on rst and third in the ninth and the Diamondbacks scoring woes continued in their 1-0 loss to Tim Hudson and Atlanta on Sunday. Hudson (13-7) combined with

Jonny Venters and Kimbrel on the ve-hit shutout. Arizona rookie Josh Collmenter almost matched Hudson, giving up only a third-inning homer to Alex Gonzalez. But Collmenter had no offensive support as the Diamondbacks matched their longest skid of the season with their fth straight loss, including three straight to the Braves. Even down to the ninth we put them on the ropes a little bit, Collmenter said. If a hit falls through or something happens, we tie the game up. The Diamondbacks have scored only nine runs in their last six

games, including three runs in the three losses to Atlanta. We tried to make as much happen as we could, Gibson said. We each got ve hits. They got a home run. They got seven home runs in three games. We hit none. Thats uncharacteristic of us. Kimbrel escaped trouble in the ninth to earn his 39th save. Kimbrel walked Chris Young with one out in the ninth. Young advanced to third on Miguel Monteros single up the middle. Kimbrel hit 100 mph on the Turner Field radar gun before striking out Goldschmidt on a 99 mph fastball. He struck out Burroughs with a slid-

er to end the game. I felt condent the whole time, Kimbrel said. Arizonas Kelly Johnson led off the sixth with a triple to right. One out later, Chris Young hit a popup that rst baseman Freddie Freeman chased into foul territory and caught while running with his back to the plate. Johnson took off from third base as Freeman turned and threw to the plate. Catcher Brian McCann moved to his right to catch Freemans throw and then made a lunging tag before Johnson slid over the plate. It seemed like there was a good opportunity to put some pressure,

Johnson said. Youve just got to go. Gibson said Johnson had to try to score when the Diamondbacks had so few chances. We forced them to make a play, Gibson said. I liked what Kelly did. ... We were going to go down swinging. Arizona began the day 2.5 games ahead of San Francisco in the NL West. When you run into good teams that are on their game, its a tough spot, Johnson said, referring to Arizona losing two of three at Philadelphia before being swept by Atlanta. But were due. I think that things are going to fall.

Kyle Busch wins in Michigan

Sharapova survives letdown, wins Cincy

By Joe Kay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BROOKLYN, Mich. Kyle Busch won his 23rd race on NASCARs Sprint Cup circuit, pulling even with brother Kurt in career victories. Now, Kyle would like to match another of Kurts accomplishments winning a series title. Hes always still got that carrot over me, Kyle Busch said. Certainly, being the younger brother, Ive had a little bit shorter time being here, but still, its great to see both of us be as competitive as weve been and as successful as weve been. Kyle Busch outlasted Jimmie Johnson on Sunday in a green-white-checkered nish at Michigan International Speedway, winning his fourth Cup race of the year. Busch leads the series standings by 10 points over Johnson and is assured of a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Kurt Busch won the series championship in 2004. Now, his 26-year-old

brother might be the driver with the best chance of ending Johnsons ve-year hold on the title. There are three races remaining before the 10-race Chase begins. Certainly weve built ourselves into Kyle Busch championship contenders this year, Kyle Busch said. Theres a great opportunity for us to win three more races before the Chase starts. Wed love nothing more than to see that, and of course carry on our strong runs through the nal 10 weeks. Its just a matter of being consistent. Kyle Busch passed Johnson with about a dozen laps remaining and was opening up a comfortable margin when Kurt Busch scraped a wall, forcing a caution from laps 198-201. The yellow flag erased much of Kyle Buschs lead, but he was able to fight off a quick move from Johnson after the restart

and pull away. It was Buschs first Cup win at Michigan. Brad Keselowski nished third, his third consecutive top-three nish and fth top-10 in his last six races. Mark Martin was fourth. Keselowski has been impressive recently despite breaking his left ankle earlier this month during a test session. Hes now 12th in the standings, and with two victories, he looks likely to make the Chase as a wild card. The top 10 drivers and the two drivers ranked 11th to 20th with the most victories earn spots for the Chase. I would like to make the top 10 on our own merits, if for no other reason than to push away all the naysayers of the wild-card system, Keselowski said. Its going to be good either way. Im a big fan of the wild card. Its going to be something thats going to reward me. I think its a great way of showing a commitment to our fans to rewarding those who can win races.

CINCINNATI No meltdown for Maria Sharapova in this Cincinnati nal. She put ve sterling points together, and that was enough. Sharapova overcame a rst-set letdown on Sunday, rallying to beat Jelena Jankovic 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-3 for the championship of the Western & Southern Open. The fourth-seeded Russian survived a match full of service breaks 16 in all, seven in the nal set alone for her second title of the season. Sharapovas best moments came in the tiebreaker, when she won the last ve points to even the match. Maria Thats pretty much it, putting ve points Sharapova together that were well-played, she said. Such stretches were rare in a ragged match that lasted 2 hours, 49 minutes and had a pair of brief rain delays. The 14th-ranked Jankovic extended her streak of 17 months without a singles title. She won in Cincinnati in 2009, but hasnt gotten a championship since Indian Wells on March 21 last year. This match could have gone either way, she said. I had my chances. It showed the match is not over until you shake the hand. Jankovic shook hands and then sat in her chair after the match, biting a white towel while staring straight ahead, thinking about what had just happened. The match ended when her baseline forehand sailed wide.

Even Trusted Publications Can Get the Facts Wrong

By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Always take what you read with a grain of salt! It amazes me that so many articles I see being published in various magazines, tabloids, journals, etc. are implied to be factual and researched but in reality end up being riddled with partial truths, inaccuracies and falsehoods! I always like information that is backed up by provable facts, but am leery of articles that are hastily written and not checked out. Many people assume that all their reading material has been pre-verified by an editor. Accepting these erroneous types of writings as the gospel truth causes confusion among the public and can be potentially harmful! One serious example is the daily flooding of email stories that are passed from reader to reader (weve all received them) and taken by many recipients as factual writings. The majority of these emails, such as perceived parents searching for their missing child; hearsay about the Presidents status as an American citizen; rumors on the latest medical scare or remedy; handy household uses for cola; Bill Gates sharing his fortune with you if you forward that email to 10 friends; in addition to countless other stories are all found to be internet myths or hoaxes. TIP: You can easily check out the validity of every email story you receive by going to www.snopes.com and typing in the subject of any questionable email in the search box. In another example, I was recently given an article to review from Readers Digest called 13 Things the Funeral Director Wont Tell You as part of their series featuring different professions. Being an actual Funeral Director, and knowing the facts, I couldnt believe the inexplicable info I was reading in a supposedly reputable magazine such as Readers Digest. It was obvious to me that the author of the article and the editor of the magazine not only didnt check their alleged facts, but some of the items listed were misleading, incomplete assertions or just plain folklore! Anyone reading this would just assume that all was checked out in advance with experts and professionals before being printedbut in this case it was a listing of partial truths or unexplained hearsay. Since this article appeared (in the June/July 2011 issue) the National Funeral Directors Association among other groups have chastised Readers Digest for their inept reporting. This circumstance makes it difficult for me to fully have faith in Readers Digest and reminds me that fallacies that can show up in otherwise trusted publications. Another situation similar to the above appeared a while back in AARP magazine. I always viewed this publication as having a stellar reputation until I read an article about funeral rip-offs that was also filled with inaccurate statements. In that case AARP was not checking their facts either. The point is that some authors may have part of their facts correct or incorrectbut until you verify your reading material with a professional you should take what you read with some good humor and a grain of salt. If you ever wish to discuss cremation, funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650) 588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you in a fair and helpful manner.

Helptakes over top spot

By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

his weeks column is one to keep and le away. Or, if you really like animals, to post on your fridge. The Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA is moving. At least, some of our key functions are moving. On Sept. 10, were opening our new Tom and Annette Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road in Burlingame. For me given Ive been with PHS/SPCA 13 years this will be an unforgettable, almost unreal day. But far more important, it will be a great day for animals awaiting adoption and for San Mateo County residents. People have driven by the Rollins Road site and watched the progress with great anticipation. Were getting our share of questions about what this will mean for the current Coyote Point facility at 12 Airport Blvd., the location weve worked out of for six-plus decades. Heres the scoop. The new place on Rollins Road will be the home for all animals awaiting adoption dogs, cats, rabbits, other small companions, reptiles and pet birds. And their rooms are sweet! Our new facility will also house all of our wildlife rehabilitation work and visitors will have opportunities to see some of that work which previously happened entirely behind the scenes. Our Lantos Center will house a kitten nursery (again, with a public viewing window), education programs, some obedience classes and administrative ofces. The facility at Coyote Point will remain the facility residents visit if they are looking for a lost pet or if they are surrendering an owned pet. Stray and surrendered animals will remain at Coyote Point until they are ready for adoption (or, for many strays, hopefully reunited with owners). Also, our Spay/Neuter Clinic is remaining at 12 Airport Blvd., at the far right end of our parking lot. If you are trying to reach us for any reason or for any program regardless of the physical location our phone number will remain 650/340-7022. Scott oversees PHS/SPCAs Customer Service, Behavior and Training, Education, Outreach, Field Services, Cruelty Investigation, Volunteer and Media/PR program areas and staff. His companion, Murray, oversees him.

LOS ANGELES The Help continues to clean up at the box ofce, taking over the No. 1 spot with $20.5 million in its second weekend. The DreamWorks Pictures film starring Viola Davis, Emma Stone and Octavia Spencer in a drama about Southern black maids had debuted in second-place a week earlier. The Help raised its domestic total to $71.8 million and bumped 20th Century Foxs Rise of the Planet of the Apes, which slipped to No. 2 with $16.3 million after two weekends at the top, according to studio estimates Sunday. Rise of the Planet of the Apes remains a solid hit, lifting its domestic total to $133.8 million. Much as Kathryn Stocketts novel The Help became a best-seller through readers talking it up, the lm is holding strong as audiences tell friends to go see it, said Dave Hollis, head of distribution for Disney, which releases DreamWorks lms. While revenues often drop 50 percent or more in the second weekend for big studio lms, receipts for The Help were down only 21 percent from opening weekend. It is a rare feat to see a lm not open at No. 1 and then become No. 1, Hollis said. To me, its a testament of it being a great lm, as well as the viral nature of the word of mouth about it. A rush of new movies had weak openings: the Weinstein Co. family sequel Spy Kids: All the Time in the World at No. 3 with $12 million; Lionsgates action remake Conan the Barbarian at No. 4 with $10 million; the DreamWorks-Disney horror-comedy remake Fright Night at No. 5 with $8.3 million; and Focus Features literary adaptation One Day at No. 9 with $5.1 million. Overall domestic revenues slid for the rst time in ve weekends. Receipts totaled $124 million, down 3 percent from the same weekend last year, when The Expendables led with $17 million, according to box-ofce tracker Hollywood.com. Other than Fright Night, the new movies were panned by critics, and audiences were apathetic about all of the newcomers.

The Helpwas the weekends top movie at the box ofce.

Top ten movies

1.The Help,$20.5 million. 2. Rise of the Planet of the Apes, $16.3 million. 3. Spy Kids: All the Time in the World, $12 million. 4.Conan the Barbarian,$10 million. 5.Fright Night,$8.3 million. 6.The Smurfs,$8 million ($35.3 million international). 7.Final Destination 5,$7.7 million. 8.30 Minutes or Less,$6.3 million. 9.One Day,$5.1 million. 10.Crazy,Stupid,Love,$5 million.
This is the reason the term dog days of August was invented, said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. Other than the The Help and to some extent Rise of the Planet of the Apes, everybody else got beat up this weekend. This was one of those really slow, turn-movie-theaters-into-a-ghosttown weekends. Three of the new movies Spy Kids, Conan the Barbarian and Fright Night had the benet of higher-priced 3-D screenings, but none were able to capitalize. Robert Rodriguezs fourth Spy Kids, featuring Jessica Alba as an agent whose stepkids get in on the espionage action, also

added odor to the picture with scratch-andsniff cards handed out to viewers so they could smell what the characters were smelling. The gimmick failed to pack in crowds, though, with the sequels revenues coming in at barely a third of the $33.4 million debut for the last Spy Kids ick in 2003. Conan the Barbarian stars Jason Momoa as the fierce warrior played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1980s original. Fright Night features Colin Farrell as a vampire going after a neighbor (Anton Yelchin) who discovers hes a blood-sucker. Based on David Nicholls best-seller, One Day casts Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess as friends in a decades-long romantic dance that plays out on the same day each year. With solid reviews, Disney executives thought Fright Night would offer a good mix of scares and laughs for fans in their late teens and early 20s. But distribution boss Hollis said Fright Night fell victim to an issue that has troubled studios all summer: How do you bring out younger crowds when they have so many personal entertainment options, from video games to downloading movies? What happened here has been a problem for the industry for a long time, and thats just how do you crack the nut with young adults? Hollis said. Theyve been increasingly nicky.

Syrias Assad:I am not worried about security

By Zeina Karam
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Libya rebels in Tripoli

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Syrias president said Sunday he was not worried about security in his country and warned against any foreign military intervention in a speech designed to portray condence as the regime comes under blistering international condemnation for its crackdown on dissent. The remarks by Bashar Assad, who spoke during an interview with state-run television, came just days after the United States and its European allies called for him to step down, and hours after a diplomat said Assads regime was scrubbing blood off the streets ahead of a U.N. Bashar Assad visit. I am not worried about the security situation right now, we can say the security situation is better, Assad said in his fourth public appearance since the revolt against his familys 40-year rule erupted in mid-March. It may seem dangerous, but in fact we are able to deal with it, Assad said. In a now-familiar refrain, Assad promised imminent reforms including parliamentary elections by February but insisted the unrest was being driven by a foreign conspiracy, not true reform seekers. Assad said President Barack Obamas calls for him to give up power had no value. The opposition rejected Assads remarks, saying they have lost condence in his promises of reform while his forces open re on peaceful protesters.

TRIPOLI, Libya Euphoric Libyan rebels raced into the capital Tripoli on Sunday and moved close to center with little resistance as Moammar Gadhas defenses collapsed and his regime appeared to be crumbling fast. Associated Press reporters with the rebels said they moved easily from the western outskirts into the regime stronghold in a dramatic turning of the tides in the 6-month-old Libyan civil war. A rebel leader said the unit in charge of protecting Gadha and Tripoli had surrendered and joined the revolt, allowing the opposition force to move in freely. They will enter Green Square tonight, God willing, said Mohammed al-Zawi, a 30-yearold rebel who entered Tripoli. Green Square has been the site of night rallies by Gadha supporters throughout the uprising. Earlier in the day, the rebels overran a major military base defending the capital, carted away truckloads of weapons and raced to Tripoli with virtually no resistance. Gadhas whereabouts were unknown. But he delivered a series of angry and deant audio messages broadcast on state television. He was not shown in the messages. In the latest one, he acknowledged that the opposition forces were moving into Tripoli and warned the city would be turned into another Baghdad. How come you allow Tripoli the capital, to be under occupation once again? he said. The traitors are paving the way for the occupation forces to be deployed in Tripoli. He called on his supporters to march in the streets of the capital and purify it from the rats. Opposition leaders at one point claimed Gadhas son and one-time heir apparent, Seif al-Islam, had been arrested, but they later backtracked and said this was not yet conrmed. The rebels surprising and speedy leap forward, after six months of largely deadlocked

Gadhafi defenses collapse

civil war, was packed into just a few dramatic hours. By nightfall, they had advanced more than 20 miles to Tripoli. Thousands of jubilant civilians rushed out of their homes to cheer the long convoys of pickup trucks packed with rebel Moammar fighters shooting in the Gadha air. Some of the ghters were hoarse, shouting: We are coming for you, frizz-head, a mocking nickname for Gadha. In villages along the way that fell to the rebels one after another, mosque loudspeakers blared Allahu Akbar, or God is great. We are going to sacrice our lives for freedom, said Nabil al-Ghowail, a 30-year-old dentist holding a rie in the streets of Janzour, a suburb just six miles west of Tripoli. Heavy gunre erupted nearby. As town after town fell and Gadha forces disappeared, the mood turned euphoric. Some shouted: We are getting to Tripoli tonight. Others were shooting in the air, honking horns and yelling Allahu Akbar. Once they reached Tripoli, the rebels took control of one neighborhood, Ghot Shaal, on the western edge of the city. They set up checkpoints as a convoy of more than 10 trucks rolled in. The rebels moved on to the neighborhood of Girgash, about a mile and a half from Green Square. They said they came under re from a sniper on a rooftop in the neighborhood. Sidiq al-Kibir, the rebel leadership councils representative for the capital Tripoli, conrmed the arrest of Seif al-Islam to the AP but did not give any further details. Inside Tripoli, widespread clashes erupted for a second day between rebel sleeper cells and Gadha loyalists. Rebels ghter who spoke to relatives in Tripoli by phone said hundreds rushed into the streets in anti-regime protests in several neighborhoods. The days rst breakthrough came when hundreds of rebels fought their way into a major symbol of the Gadha regime the base of the elite 32nd Brigade commanded by Gadhas son, Khamis. Fighters said they met with little resistance. They were 16 miles from the big prize, Tripoli. Hundreds of rebels cheered wildly and danced as they took over the compound lled with eucalyptus trees, raising their tricolor from the front gate and tearing down a large billboard of Gadha. Inside, they cracked open wooden crates labeled Libyan Armed Forces and loaded their trucks with huge quantities of munitions. One of the rebels carried off a tube of grenades, while another carted off two mortars. This is the wealth of the Libyan people that he was using against us, said Ahmed alAjdal, 27, pointing to his haul. Now we will use it against him and any other dictator who goes against the Libyan people. One group started up a tank, drove it out of the gate, crushing the median of the main highway and driving off toward Tripoli. Rebels celebrated the capture with deafening amounts of celebratory gunre, lling the air with smoke.

The Glee Projectends with a twist

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK If the creators of Glee are looking for new faces to bring into the fold then theyve found it with The Glee Project. Nineteen-year-old Samuel Larsen from Los Angeles and 18-year-old Damian McGinty of Derry City, Ireland, both won the inaugural season of the talent competition show where

they each get a seven-episode arc on Glee. Larsen, a rocker with dreadlocks, was described as having a cool, indy, rock spirit that has been missing from the hit Fox show The judges believed McGinty, however, was the most likable and most improved. The show put 12 contestants through a Glee bootcamp where they said they were being forced into prostitution by Singh and his wife, Helen, 22, of Sacramento, police said. Helen Singh was found at the hotel and arrested along with her husband, police said. sport is the fastest. Shooters are required to draw on the sound of a buzzer and shoot the ve targets as quickly as possible. Scores are combined from some of the shooters best stages are combined for an overall match time. The fastest recorded winning time was set in 2008 by K.C. Eusebio, threetime World Speed Shooting Champion, who nished in an amazing 79.16 seconds. According to the Steel Challenge Shooting Association, thats 155 shots red, including 31 draws from the holster, in less than a minute and 20 seconds. Azzaria isnt planning on taking to provide an outdoor public gathering space, Marks said. Mayor Linda Koelling hopes the proposals will feature something for everyone. It is the citys last piece of land that will be benecial to the city in the long term, she said. It will provide a constant revenue stream, Koelling said. She envisions a project that will serve as a community gathering space, day and night, that will establish the property as the center of town. Part of the land was originally set aside by T. Jack Foster to build a high school but the city decided long ago the property would better serve the citys aging population. A developer was set to build senior housing on the site last year but could not secure the money needed to construct the project. Pacic Retirement Services started returning about $600,000 in deposits in February 2010 to families and individuals who signed up to live in its Gordon said his legislation, if necessary, would extend any reimbursement deadlines that have expired so that the county can get paid. In the meantime, Gordon said he understands from the departments director approximately $4 million have been processed and should be on its way to San Mateo County within weeks. The department has been fairly cooperative. Its not like theyre saying they wont pay just that they dont know if they can, Gordon said. But while the pharmacy reimbursement may resolve in a manner benecial to the county, county ofcials like Deputy County Manager Mary McMillan are rankled by it on the heels of another monetary ght between the county and state. The county was shortchanged nearly $1.5 million when the state incorrectly doled out the money to three other counties for juvenile probation and camps. The error happened in scal year 2008-09 when the camp funding moved from the state general fund to

were critiqued on their singing, dancing and acting throughout the 10-week series. The other nalists, Lindsay Pearce, 20, and Alex Newell, 18, didnt go home losers. The shows co-creator Ryan Murphy was so impressed he decided to write them into two episodes of the show. Glee returns for its new season in September. Mahendar and Helen Singh were booked into San Mateo County Jail for human trafcking under the age of 18, pimping, pandering and conspiracy. The three girls were released to their parents, police said. home the gold but enjoys the sport. Guns are more than a competitive hobby. As a member of the Sunnyvale Rod and Gun Club, he often teaches safety courses to people who have never even held a gun. Guns are only one of Azzarias many hobbies. He also enjoys building things like bikes and instruments. For more information on the Steel Challenge Shooting Association visit www.SteelChallenge.com.

ing once, that wasnt for him. Instead, Azzaria focused on the other aspects of the sport. In 1992, a friend took Azzaria to his rst state championship. Azzaria was hooked. He returned the next year and did the video of the competition. Then he was convinced to enter the competition. Hes never looked back.

Partners, a consortium of different developers. In September, both groups will present the initial concept of the uses and designs for the site, based on the criteria included in the Request for Proposals. The presentations are expected to show each groups approach and ability to create a plan that matches the citys vision for the site. The city wants to see housing designed and priced for seniors built on the site, said Richard Marks, Foster Citys community development director. The developers can include retail components in the proposals, although that condition was not mandated in the request, Marks said. The request also included a condition

Mirabella retirement community. PRSs exclusive development deal with the city fell apart, though, because it could not secure the $300 million in nancing to build even the rst phase of the project. The new Sares Regis proposal for the site is a partnership with Northern California Presbyterian Homes & Services and Mercy Housing. The Foster City Community Partners proposal is a consortium made up of Merrill Gardens; SRM Development; Mid-Peninsula Housing; Urban Community Partners and Campus Property Group. The City Council will not be selecting one of the rms as the potential developers of the 15-acre site at the Sept. 6 meeting. That decision will likely be discussed and made at the City Council meeting Oct. 3, according to a staff report.

substantial progress, Juarez-Diroll and there is urgency in getting the relief before the state Department of Mental Health goes away. Gov. Jerry Browns mental health realignment plan calls for creating a new system and transferring some services to the Department of Health Care Services. While any changes may not prevent the county from recouping the funds, it certainly wont make it any easier, Juarez said. Were not asking for anything that isnt owed to us, Juarez-Diroll said. Assemblyman Rich Gordon, DMenlo Park, a former San Mateo County supervisor, has stepped into the tug-of-war and promises to introduce legislation if need be to rectify the situation. Theyre owed it and its legitimate, Gordon said.

the vehicle license fee pool. The real problem, though, came when county ofcials asked to be made whole. The county was essentially told to seek its rightful funds from the overpaid counties, particularly Tulare which received an extra $893,061, which refused to return the money to the state. After prodding by state Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, Controller John Chiang threatened to withhold the money from Tulare. In this case, said McMillan, referring to the pharmaceutical reimbursements, and in probation you can see a pattern I would argue and part of the pattern is the perception in Sacramento that San Mateo County is a rich county and doesnt need to be made whole. Gordon said he isnt certain if thats reality but understands McMillans point. I know certainly when I was a supervisor I always felt that way, he said.

More than the usual amount of opportunities will be available to you in the year ahead, making it hard at times to choose just which ones you want to partake in. Each will be significant and shouldnt be taken for granted.
LEo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be extremely selective regarding your companions. If you arent, there could be a troublemaker in the group who will be responsible for making everybody feel uncomfortable. VIRgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you are unduly critical of others, it is likely because youre taking what they

say out of context and misinterpreting innocent comments as intentional zappers. Think positively. LIBRa (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- By attempting to mix business with pleasure, you could unintentionally cause someone in the group to feel uneasy. Make sure everyone is okay with the situation at hand. SCoRPIo (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Its fine that your competitive instincts are easily aroused, as long as you dont get emotional over winning or losing and behave badly. Be a good sport about the outcome. SagITTaRIuS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When among friends, let sleeping dogs lie. Even if you bring up an old incident that you think funny, it could evoke a bitter reaction from the person involved. CaPRICoRn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It isnt always too

smart to impose unsolicited advice on another. If the situation fails to work out well, he or she may blame you even if your counsel wasnt the problem. aQuaRIuS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Avoid any situation in which you have to depend heavily on another or another has to rely on you. If you or the other person cant do what is promised, a bitter reaction might result. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Although youre someone who usually tries to be of help to others, you could easily feel put upon if another thinks you are always there for them, regardless of the situation. aRIES (March 21-April 19) -- Even if you could make someone over in your own image, you wouldnt like the results. Its easiest to just accept everybody for who and what they are.

TauRuS (April 20-May 20) -- If everybody in the

house seems to be walking around with an angry look on his or her face, make sure it wasnt put there by you. If youre on edge, calm down. gEMInI (May 21-June 20) -- Wanting everybody to respond to your edicts is untenable if you cant set the example by following orders yourself. Dont ask of others what you wont do. CanCER (June 21-July 22) -- When out with others, splitting the bill with them could be problematic unless you establish up front that everybody is willing to fork out. Dont assume something that might be rejected. COPYRIGHT 2011, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE
