DEMS INSIST ROMNEY QUIETLY SUPPORTS RYANS BUDGETS
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Millbrae will consider bringing eight previ-
ously-laid off certicated positions back before
the start of school this fall.
California requires districts to notify teachers
that they may not be needed in the coming
school year by May 15. Often, teachers who are
laid off could be asked back over the summer
when the states budget and upcoming enroll-
ment for a particular district become clear. This
years budget has education funds tied to
statewide ballot measures in November. As a
result, districts that are funded by the number of
children attending were cautious in planning for
the number of teachers.
On Tuesday, the Millbrae Elementary School
District Board of Trustees will vote to reinstate
eight full-time equivalent positions for the com-
ing school year.
Trustee Frank Barbaro explained oftentimes
the district will wait until the enrollment num-
bers are nalized to bring teachers back for the
fall.
Since sending the layoff notices, the govern-
ing board of the Millbrae Elementary School
District has determined that it shall be neces-
sary to reinstate certain programs and services
before the start of the 2012-13 school year,
according to the resolution. Among those to be
reinstated are four elementary school teachers,
three middle school teachers and one middle
school counselor, according to the resolution.
At the same meeting, the board will consider
amending an agreement with All City
Management Services, Inc. for crossing guard
services. If approved, the changes would extend
the contract through the upcoming school year
and set an hourly rate of $14.92 per guard, an
estimated $46,998 for the school year.
The board meets 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 14
at the District Ofce, 555 Richmond Drive,
Millbrae.

Ex-Genentech
worker files
suit for firing
Lawsuit claims bio giant violated
federal human clinical trial rules
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Biotech giant Genentech put participants in its human trials
for a cancer drug at risk by not following clinical rules and
red a high-level employee who questioned why the company
was racing toward the approval deadline, according to a law-
suit led by the worker who said she was targeted for whistle-
blowing.
The suit led in San Mateo County Superior Court by Juliet
Kniley, a former senior clinical program manager at
Genentech, alleges she was harassed, demoted and eventually
let go after questioning the companys failure to follow feder-
al guidelines governing clinical trials.
The alleged violations put participants in the clinical trials
at unnecessary risk of death and injury, according to the suit.

With limited resources, Belmont looks at priorities
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With the states dissolution of Redevelopment Agencies this
year, the impacts have been varied on cities across the state
that relied on the tool for economic development or to clean up
blighted areas.
One of the impacts in the city of Belmont is that the police
department started handling code enforcement duties in May.
Tonight, police Chief Dan DeSmidt will update the City
Council on the departments new code enforcement duties.

A 2-acre site in Belmont the city has
wanted to redevelop for years called
Firehouse Square may have finally
found a builder as city staff is recom-
mending the council negotiate exclu-
sively with Sares-Regis to ultimately
design and develop a mixed-use residen-
tial project on the block on which the
Iron Gate Restaurant sits.
The project, however, will be scaled
down dramatically from the citys origi-
nal vision to just an acre of city-owned
land unless private property owners
along El Camino Real are willing to join
in the project, Community Development
Director Carlos deMelo told the Daily
Journal.
The citys former Redevelopment
Agency made a request for qualications
for the project back in 2009 and pur-
chased some of the privately-owned lots
on the site before the RDA dissolved
earlier this year.
The original Firehouse Square project
area is bound by El Camino Real,
ONeill and Fifth avenues and
Broadway to the south. The city owns
about an acre on the west side of an alley
called Civic Lane and nine parcels
fronting El Camino Real are privately
owned.
With the dissolution of RDA, howev-
er, the city can only negotiate with
Sares-Regis for the 1.2 acres the city
Developer seeks Firehouse Square deal
Belmont project scaled back significantly from original vision
BILL SILVERFARB/DAILY JOURNAL
A handful of private properties along El Camino Real in Belmont will not be included in the citys Firehouse Square project
with the dissolution of its Redevelopment Agency earlier this year unless the owners want to join in the project.

110-year-old widow

EBENSBURG, Pa. A 110-year-
old Pennsylvania widow is getting a
benefits boost because of her hus-
bands World War I service.
Family members say Alda Collins is
now getting about $1,000 a month to
assist with her stay at a nursing home

in a trailer until she was 106. She can
use a walker, feeds herself and knows
the Pirates are in second place.
For years, she taught in a one-room
schoolhouse.

at age 81.
The family had been asking the
Veterans Administration for the bene-
fits adjustment since 2008 and recent-
ly got help from U.S. Rep. Mark Critz.
Animal escape in Germany:
Kangaroo on the lam
BERLIN A kangaroo is on the
lam in Germany after breaking out of a
wildlife park, with a fox and a wild
boar his suspected accomplices.
Michael Hoffmann, assistant head of
the Hochwildschutzpark Hunsrueck
west of Frankfurt, said Monday the
male kangaroo was one of three that
escaped overnight Saturday with the
inadvertent help of the menagerie that
lives in the area woods.
Hoffmann says the kangaroos got
out of their enclosure after a young fox
snuck into the park and dug a hole next
to the cages fencing. Two of the three
were then able to get out of the park
entirely through another hole dug by a
wild boar under the exterior fence.
Hoffmann says weve got two of
them back; now were just looking for
the third.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Jack Hickey, a Sequoia Healthcare District
boardmember with time remaining in his
term, is running for a different seat on the
same board as way to stretch his tenure out
another two years.
Hickey, 78, qualied for the Nov. 6 ballot
by the Friday deadline, pitting him against
incumbents Kim Grifn and Katie Kane who
are also seeking re-election. If Hickey does
not win one of the two seats, he will maintain
his current position. If instead he prevails, he
will begin a new four-year term and his seat
will be lled by appointment or election.
While unusual, Hickeys
tactic is not prohibited.
The Political Reform
Act does not prohibit an
individual from holding
multiple public positions,
either within a single
agency or different agen-
cies, according to the
California Fair Practices
Commission website. In
addition, there are no provisions of the act
which bar a person from running for more
than one elective ofce in a single election or
from serving in more than one elected posi-
tion at one time. Hickey joined the board in
2002 and has long maintained a call to elimi-
nate the district. In running for the four-year
seat, Hickeys candidate statement said he is
giving voters an opportunity to cast a single
vote in support of dissolution.
The Sequoia Hospital District now
known as the Sequoia Healthcare District
was established in 1946 to build a hospital.
The district no longer operates the hospital but
still collects taxes which are used for philan-
thropic activities. Special districts that do not
operate hospitals, like Sequoia and the
Peninsula Health Care District, have recently
come under scrutiny by state leaders.

A 24-year-old man accused of following and
blowing kisses to a teenage girl in South San
Francisco earlier this year was sentenced to
time served and ordered to stay away from her
and her high school.
Diego Armando Equihuatorres, of South San
Francisco, pleaded no contest to disorderly
conduct yesterday before his case was assigned
out for trial. He was sentenced to 76 days in jail
with credit for the same earned amount fol-
lowed by two years of court probation.
South San Francisco police arrested
Equihuatorres after the 15-year-old girl con-
tacted them to say he was following her and
had done so previously. The girl and her 18-
year-old friend said Equihuatorres stalked
them as they walked from
their school into down-
town South San Francisco
between May 22 and May
25. He also got on the
same bus as the girl once,
according to the District
Attorneys Office.
Equihuatorres never
threatened or spoke to the
students, but made it obvi-
ous he was following them
by staring and blowing kisses, police said.
Police arrested him May 30 near Grand and
Maple avenues and say he was engaged in the
same type of behavior at the time.
Equihuatorres has been in custody in lieu of
$10,000 bail.

State mental hospital
rolls out new alarm system
NAPA A California mental hospital
where a psychiatric technician was strangled
nearly two years ago is rolling out high-tech
tracking and alarm lanyard devices to protect
employees, though Napa State Hospital work-

risk alive.
You dont wear a tie if youre working with
patients on a psychiatric unit. Now everyone
is going to have the equivalent of a tie, Dr.
Richard Frishman, a psychiatrist and member

The new alarm devices going into service
on Tuesday will be worn by workers in the
area where criminal patients are held.

Belmont man, 80, killed in
motorcycle crash near La Honda
An 80-year-old Belmont man died in a
motorcycle crash near La Honda on Sunday
afternoon.
Andrew Sager was driving toward the coast
on Pescadero Creek Road when he failed to
negotiate a curve in the road at about 2:10 p.m.,
California Highway Patrol Officer Scott
Niemeth said.

factor, according to the CHP.
Sawyer Camp trail
closed for three days
Sawyer Camp Trail, near the cities of
Millbrae and Hillsborough in unincorporated
San Mateo County, will be closed for three
days from Wednesday, Aug. 15 through Aug.
17 for construction work related to the seismic
upgrade of the regional water pipeline that runs
adjacent to the trail, according to the San
Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
Construction on the Crystal Springs/San
Andreas Transmission System is expected to
be complete in fall 2013. The Crystal Springs
Reservoir System serves as the supplemen-
tary and emergency water supply for more
than 1 million people in northern San Mateo
and San Francisco counties, according to the
SFPUC.
This closure and associated work is part of
the $4.6 billion Water System Improvement
Program to repair, replace and seismically
upgrade the Hetch Hetchy Regional Water
System. The Sawyer Camp Trail runs next to
the reservoir.
Home alarm scares
off burglar Sunday night
Police in Hillsborough believe a home alarm
system prevented a break-in by scaring away a
would-be burglar on Sunday night.
The alarm was activated at a home in the 800
block of Tournament Drive at about 9:40 p.m.
Someone had broken a window and attempted
to remove a screen, police said.
Police believe the audible alarm likely scared
the suspect away and prevented a burglary.
Anyone who might have seen anything sus-
picious in the area is asked to call Hillsborough
police at (650) 375-7400 with any information.
Police are advising residents to activate or
install home alarm systems and to immediately
report any unusual activity in their neighbor-
hoods.
Small fire at Shell refinery
extinguished quickly
A small re at the Shell renery in Martinez
prompted the issuance of a health advisory
Monday afternoon.
The re was reported at 2:10 p.m. and was
extinguished in 10 minutes, said Randy
Sawyer, chief environmental health and haz-
ardous materials officer for Contra Costa
Health Services.
The re burned in a light-oil processing unit,
according to the renerys Twitter page.
The health advisory was lifted at 3:10 p.m.
The small blaze occurred a week after the
massive fire at the Chevron refinery in
Richmond. Sawyer said the health advisory
was issued as a precaution.
Especially with what happened last week,
they were erring on the safe side, Sawyer said.
Local briefs
A man accused of ring seven shots at his
ex-girlfriends San Mateo home, hitting a
parked car with one and sending three into a
bedroom wall, pleaded no contest yesterday to
illegally discharging a rearm.
Alexander Michael Osborne, 26, also admit-
ted having a prior prison term before being
sentenced to six years in prison for the Feb. 21
incident. Osborne also receives credit for 341
days against his term.
Prosecutors say Osborne shot at the South
Norfolk Street residence because he believed
the woman was inside. San Mateo police
arrested Osborne and
another man, Ismael
Garcia, days later, as they
ed a South San Francisco
residence.
Police determined
Garcia was not a suspect
in the shooting but that he
was wanted for violating
the terms of his proba-
tion.
Police booked Osborne
into custody on suspicion of attempted murder
but he was formally charged with the lesser
offense.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry
Brown on Monday launched a web-
site to document the effects of cli-
mate change and respond to those
who question it, calling them cli-
mate change denialists.
Browns ofce announced the site
while he was at Lake Tahoe with
Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval for an
annual summit focused on the
health of the lake, which straddles
both states.
The Democratic governor said in
a statement that climate change has
irrevocably altered Lake Tahoe. He
cited a 2005 study that found the
lake warming at almost twice the
rate of the worlds oceans and a
2010 study that predicted earlier
snowmelt with more runoff in the
Tahoe basin and more severe
droughts by the end of the century.
Researchers at the University of
California, Davis have reported that
climate change will irreversibly
alter water circulation there, chang-
ing the conditions for plants and
sh.
It is just one
example of how,
after decades of
pumping green-
house gases into
the atmosphere,
humanity is get-
ting dangerously
close to the point
of no return,
Brown said in a
statement. Those who still deny
global warmings existence should
wake up and honestly face the
facts.
Since he took office in 2011,
Brown has pushed for increased
investment in renewable energy and
signed a law requiring that 33 per-
cent of the states energy come from
renewable sources by 2020.
He also supports building a $24
billion twin-tunnel system to carry
water from the Sacramento-San
Joaquin River Delta to the Central
Valley and Southern California.

was no longer just for men.
Brown, the longtime editor of
Cosmopolitan magazine and an
author who encouraged women not
to save it for the wedding night, died
Monday at a hospital in New York
after a brief hospitalization, Hearst
CEO Frank A. Bennack Jr. said in a
statement. She was 90.
Sex and the Single Girl, her mil-
lion-selling grab-bag book of advice,
opinion and
anecdote on why
being single
shouldnt mean
being sexless,
made a celebrity
of the 40-year-
old advertising
copywriter in
1962 and made
her a foil for
feminists who
believed that womens rights meant
more than sleeping around.
Three years later, she was hired by
Hearst Magazines to turn around the
languishing Cosmopolitan, and it
became her playtime pulpit for the
next 32 years.
She said at the outset that her aim
was to tell a reader how to get
everything out of life the money,
recognition, success, men, prestige,
authority, dignity whatever she is
looking at through the glass her nose
is pressed against.
It was a terric magazine, she
said, looking back when she surren-
dered the editorship of the U.S. edi-
tion in 1997. I would want my lega-
cy to be, She created something that
helped people. My reader, I always
felt, was someone who needed to
come into her own.
Along the way, she added to the
language such terms as Cosmo girl
hip, sexy, vivacious and smart
and mouseburger, which she
coined rst in describing herself as a
plain and ordinary woman who must
work relentlessly to make herself
desirable and successful.
Her motto: Good girls go to heav-
en, bad girls go everywhere.
She put big-haired, deep-cleav-
aged beauties photographed by
Francesco Scavullo on the maga-
zines cover, behind teaser titles like
Nothing Fails Like Sex-cess - Facts

Male centerfolds arrived during

ed a sensation but departed by

anathema to some feminists, who
staged a sit-in at her ofce. One of
them, Kate Millet, said, The maga-
zines reactionary politics were too
much to take, especially the man-
hunting part. The entire message
seemed to be Seduce your boss,
then marry him.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa Led
by President Barack Obama,
Democrats claimed on Monday that
Republican challenger Mitt Romney
privately backs controversial plans to
overhaul Medicare and cut trillions
from social programs that his new
vice presidential running mate has
publicly proposed.
Rep. Paul Ryan has given deni-
tion to the vague commitments that
Romney has been making, Vice
President Joe Biden said as the
Democrats welcomed the Wisconsin
lawmaker to the race with a barrage
of criticism. There is no distinction
between the two, he said.
Romney lauded his running mates
work as he resumed his own four-day
bus trip through campaign battle-
ground states.
Ryan has come up with ideas that
are very different than the presi-
dents, Romney said in Florida, the
state with the highest percentage of
residents age 65 and over. The pres-
idents idea for Medicare was to cut it
by $700 billion. Thats not the right
answer. We want to make sure that we
preserve and protect Medicare.
The former Massachusetts gover-
nor did not say so, but the tax-and-
spending plans Ryan produced in the
past two years as chairman of the
House Budget Committee call for the
repeal of Obamas health care plan
but also would retain the $700 billion
in Medicare cuts that were part of it.
Romney said there may be differ-
ences between his own budget plan
and Ryans, but he refused to say
what specic policies his budget
would include that would differ from
the Wisconsin congressmans
detailed proposal.
Dems insist Romney quietly supports Ryans budgets
SHRINKTHEDEFICIT
For Ryan, it all starts with putting the brakes on
thenationsout-of-control debt.For yearshesbeen
wielding colorful charts and graphs to sound the
alarm about annual decits topping $1 trillion.
In March, the House passed a federal budget
outline based on Ryans plans that would protect
the Pentagon but reduce spending on almost
everything else, including highways and farm
programs, NASA and weather forecasts, medical
research and college aid. It aims to whittle the
annual decit to about $287 billion in 2022. That
compares with a $704 billion decit projected for
Obamas budget plan. (The House bill is a non-
starter in the Democratic-controlled Senate.)
A majority of House Republicans actually voted
for even deeper cuts.And a few Democrats joined
in passing the Ryan plan, which over the next
decade would spend $5.3 trillion less than Obama
wants while cutting taxes by $2 trillion more.
A numbers man, Ryan loathes budgetary
uncertainty.So he wants to lock down how much
the government can spend on entitlement
programs such as Medicaid and food stamps.
Critics complain that this would transfer the risks
of rising prices or greater need to individual
Americans.
Ryan says the most important thing he can do to
help people in need is to rescue the nation from
scal disaster.
OVERHAULINCOMETAXES
As much as he wants to shrink the decit, Ryan
wouldnt do it by raising taxes.
He wants to lower tax rates by compressing the
current six brackets into two: 10 percent and 25
percent.The current top rate for the wealthiest is
35 percent. He also would reduce the corporate
tax rate to 25 percent from 35 percent. Ryan says
he would make up the lost tax revenue by
eliminating unspecied tax breaks and loopholes.
Ryan like Romney and congressional
Republicans would extend Bush-era tax cuts
for everyone. Obama wants to allow taxes on
earnings over $200,000 per individual or $250,000
per couple to go back up next year, for a top rate
of 39.6 percent.
Ryan also seeks to eliminate the alternative
minimum tax a much-despised levy that
members of both parties have talked about
ending. Doing so is tough, however, because it
would cost the government hundreds of billions
of dollars over a decade.
Inthepast,Ryanchampionedbigtaxchangesthat
would mostly benet the wealthy: eliminating
taxes on dividends, interest and capital gains, as
well as ending the estate tax. He dropped those
ideas from more recent plans.
REDOMEDICARE
None of Ryans ideas has caused as much outcry
as his plans to remake Medicare. Critics say he
wants to undo the fundamental nature of the
government-run insurance program its open-
endedcommitment togettingseniorsthebenets
they need.Ryan says he would give retirees more
freedomwhilesavingMedicarefromgoingbroke.
After his earlier plan to privatize Medicare
provoked a restorm, Ryan put forth a retooled
version late last year, which resembles Romneys
idea of preserving a form of traditional Medicare
alongside an option to choose from private
insurance plans. Romney hasnt addressed the
specics of his new running mates proposal.
Future retirees would get xed government
payments that could either go toward buying
private plans or joining a government-run
program modeled on todays Medicare. The
insurers, including the government program,
would make annual competitive bids that would
be assessed to set the amount of the government
payments. Older and sicker people would get
larger payments; wealthier retirees would get
smaller ones.
The growth of Medicare spending would be
capped to keep medical ination from
overwhelming the national budget. In contrast,
Obama proposes another way to limit Medicare
costsbycuttingpaymentstomedical providers
if spending surges.
HANDOFFMEDICAID
The fate of the health program for the poor is one
of the most glaring differences between Ryans
vision and Obamas.
The presidents health care overhaul would pour
more U.S. money into the joint state-federal
programsoit cancover millionsmorelow-income
people. Ryan wants to repeal that expansion,
curtail the programs growth and hand the whole
package over to the states.
Ryan says converting the program into grants for
the states would free them to use the money as its
needed most and manage it more efciently.
Even before Obamas expansion, Medicaid has
been growing faster than the economy,putting a
strain on state budgets and dinging the U.S.
government, too. Ryans budget would cut its
federal cost over the next decade from more than
$4 trillion down to $3.4 trillion.
The Congressional Budget Ofce says the Ryan
planwouldsharplyreducethesizeof theprogram
relative to the overall economy and leave states
the choice of cutting benets,possibly by pushing
people off the Medicaid rolls, or spending more
of their own money.
WHATABOUTSOCIALSECURITY?
For several years Ryan pushed plans to partially
privatize the national retirement program,an idea
that ared and dimmed during George W. Bushs
presidency. He also talked about raising the
retirement age gradually to 70 and reducing
benets for all but the poorest future retirees, to
deal with demographic changes that threaten to
overwhelm the program. Although there is wide
agreement that changes of some sort must be
made to shore up the programs nances, Ryan
has dropped those lightning-rod specics.
Instead, his budget would require that president
and Congress nd a way to x Social Securitys
nances.

President shifts Egypts balance of power
CAIRO In retaking key powers and shaking up the mili-
tary brass, President Mohammed Morsi has sharply shifted
Egypts balance of power overnight and transformed his public
image from a weak leader to a savvy politician.
If unchallenged, the moves could end six decades of de facto
military rule in Egypt. But they also raise a new concern at
home and abroad the concentration of power in the hands of
Islamists.
With the military as the backbone of the Egyptian state for the
past 60 years, the countrys rst civilian and freely elected pres-
ident must have closely coordinated his moves with top mem-
bers of the military establishment to ensure their execution,
according to analysts who closely monitor Egypts military.
That reality underlines how much care a civilian president
must take if he wants to assert his authority over a military
accustomed to having one of its own lling the lands highest
ofce.
The military sent a message of reassurance Monday about
Morsis surprise decision to retire the defense minister and chief
of staff and retake powers the generals grabbed from his ofce
days before his June 30 inauguration.
Rebel video claims to show captured Syrian pilot
BEIRUT Syrian rebels circulated dramatic video Monday
of what they claimed was the downing of a warplane and armed
men later holding the captured pilot who ejected as the MiG
ghter was engulfed by ames. Syria acknowledged a pilot
bailed out of a disabled plane but blamed the crash on a techni-
cal malfunction.
The authenticity of the images or the claims could not be
independently veried. If the rebels did bring down their rst
aircraft, that could signal a signicant jump in their repower
and give opposition forces their most high-prole military cap-
tive.
But wider questions remain even if the rebel reports are con-
rmed, including whether this could be just a one-time blow
against expanding air offensives by the forces of Bashar Assads
regime. Just days ago, protesters across Syria pleaded for the
rebels main backers including Turkey and Gulf states to
send anti-aircraft weapons for outgunned ghters.

WASHINGTON The Republican-
run House on Monday asked a federal
court to enforce a subpoena against
Attorney General Eric Holder, demand-
ing that he produce records on a bungled
gun-tracking operation known as
Operation Fast and Furious.
The lawsuit asked the court to reject a
claim by President Barack Obama
asserting executive privilege, a legal
position designed to protect certain
internal administration communications
from disclosure.
The failure of Holder and House
Republicans to work out a deal on the
documents led to votes in June that held
the attorney general in civil and criminal
contempt of Congress. The civil contempt
resolution led to Mondays lawsuit.
Holder refused
requests by the
House Oversight and
Government Reform
Committee to hand
over without pre-
conditions docu-
ments that could
explain why the
Justice Department
initially denied in
February 2011 that a risky tactic was
used to allow rearms to walk from
Arizona to Mexico.
Federal agents lost track of many of
the guns. The operation identied more
than 2,000 illicitly purchased weapons,
and some 1,400 of them have yet to be
recovered.
The department failed to acknowledge
its incorrect statement for 10 months.
Portentously, the (Justice)
Department from the outset actively
resisted cooperating fully with the com-
mittees investigation, the lawsuit said.
Among other things, the department
initially declined to produce documents;
later produced only very limited numbers
of documents in piecemeal fashion;
refused to make available to the commit-
tee certain witnesses; and limited the
committees questioning of other wit-
nesses who were made available, it said.
The Justice Department previously
said that it would not bring criminal
charges against its boss. Democrats have
labeled the civil and criminal contempt
citations a political stunt.
In response to the lawsuit, Justice
Department spokeswoman Tracy
Schmaler said, We were always willing
to work with the committee. Instead the
House and the committee have said they
prefer to litigate.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas The
family of a gunman killed in a shootout
near the Texas A&M campus that also
left two other people dead Monday after-
noon say they are distraught by the
havoc that he has caused.
Police say Thomas Alton Caffall, 35,
opened fire on Brazos County
Constable Brian Bachmann just after
noon as the lawman brought an evic-
tion notice. Both men were later pro-
nounced dead at a
hospital.
A 51-year-old man
was the third person

ment ofcers and a 55-year-old woman
were wounded, he said.
Ofcers responding to reports of an
ofcer down saw Bachmann wounded
on the ground in the front yard, then got
into what McCollum described as an
extended shootout with Caffall, who
eventually was shot.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the
families and this is just a senseless
tragedy, said Courtney Clark, Caffalls
sister, reached Monday evening at her
mothers home in Navasota, about 20
miles to the south. We are just dis-
traught by the havoc that he has caused.

Bipolar II is a treatable condition that
affects parts of the brain controlling
emotion, thought and drive and is likely
caused by a complex set of genetic and
environmental factors, the clinic said.
The statement also mentioned that
Jackson underwent weight loss surgery
in 2004 and said such a surgery can
change how the body absorbs foods and
medications, among other things.

L
eave it to those Stanford smartypants
to try to tell the rest of California
what to do.
Dont the students down on The Farm get
enough satisfaction out of ruling the world
from Silicon Valley when they graduate and
immediately team up with their angel
investors to sell another billion-dollar app?
Apparently intellectual property and vast
personal wealth is not enough. They have to
be sticking their nose into everyones busi-
ness.
And thank goodness for that, when the
Stanford- associated nonprot California
Common Sense is the busybody in question.
Actually, the group is made up mostly of
Stanford alumni, according to Mike
Polyakov, a Stanford doctoral student in
political science. But its generally under-35
staffers and interns are taking the long-run,
post- baby boomer view of whats good for
California. Its motto: open government to
the public, develop data- driven policy analy-
sis, and educate citizens about how their gov-
ernments work.
This week, CCS released an analysis of
how well the 20 largest in terms of their
budgetary size California cities are pre-
pared to deal with the looming issue of pay-
ing for their rising retiree health costs.
The bottom line: Too many cities in our
state are not prepared to pay this huge price
for their pensioners, and not nearly enough
of them have begun to pre- fund the issue,
especially given that people are living much
longer than when the pension plans were set
up.
Cities are facing tremendous pressures
these days, and theyre hesitant to pre-fund
retiree benets to gain savings that will mate-
rialize 10 or 20 years down the road. CACS
is saying that those cities need to think about
these promises today, writes Polyakov, the
research director of CACS. Possible alterna-
tives to fully pre-funding out the gate: phase
in pre-funding, select cheaper health plans or
increase employee contribution levels.
Otherwise, in 20 years, these huge costs are
going to hit Californias cities hard. The days
of low and stable health care costs are over.
Of those 20 largest cities, nine do pre-fund,
and the giant city of Los Angeles has done
the best, already having set aside 59 percent
of what it will likely pay out in health costs
to retirees. The only other area city to do so
is Burbank.
But the 11 other major cities have not paid
in already, and Pasadena is in this pay-as-you
go situation, along with Glendale, San
Francisco, Oakland and Long Beach. All cur-
rently have no funds set aside for future
retiree health care.
The Stanfordites have some sound advice
for these municipalities, and the other, small-
er California cities that likely nd themselves
in the same scal boat: If those 11 cities
start paying their (future health-care) contri-
butions as determined by CalPERS and con-
tinue to do so annually, they will collectively
save an estimated $2.2 billion in payments
for benets earned before 2011.
Pay now, save later. Good advice from
some sharp younger Californians.
Fees for fire
Editor,
Gov. Jerry Brown calls his $150 per proper-
ty fee for California Department of Forestry
re protection fair. He says its consistent with
the beneciary pays principle. Does that
mean the governor is prepared to give a tax
refund to all the residents of Northern
California for the high-speed rail theyll end
up paying for but never use?
To go one further, lets say a family living in
Mill Creek loses their home to a wildre. An
investigation determines the wildre is caused
by a careless visitor to the Lassen Volcanic
National Park who is from Los Angeles. It is
found the careless visitor tossed a still lit ciga-
rette butt to the ground, igniting the re. Let
the governor explain the beneciary pays
principle to the family that lost their home
under those circumstances.
When the people of California go to the
polls this fall to vote on the governors tax
proposals, they should consider his manipula-
tion of what is paid for by a fee, versus what
is paid for by taxes already paid into the gen-
eral fund.

Aug. 11 edition of the Daily Journal, I fail to
understand how proposals to reduce or elimi-
nate service on its bus routes can be consid-
ered plans to boost ridership. SamTrans
problem is that its network of local routes is
underutilized because commuters are unable
to freely transfer between those routes and
SamTrans trunk routes like the 390 and 391.
By not offering the opportunity for bus-to-bus
transfers, the value of a SamTrans commute
quickly evaporates if more than one bus route
is required for a riders commute. Its no won-
der that 45 percent of SamTrans riders use
only four of its routes.
I attend a university in Washington, D.C.,
which enjoys a convenient, well-spread-out
network of 96 bus lines inside the district
alone. It is incredibly convenient to commute
on its buses because transfers are free within
two hours of boarding the rst bus, but only if
you use a SmarTrip card the equivalent of
the Bay Areas Clipper card to pay for your
ride. Bus operators dont have to worry at all
about paper transfers.
By allowing Clipper card users to enjoy
free- or at least discounted-transfers between
buses, I believe SamTrans will dramatically
improve its value proposition to commuters,
far outweighing any loss of fare box revenue
such a move might cause.

Political writers
Editor,
There has been a noticeable effort by the
usual local ultra-conservatives to sell their
propaganda as truth lately. Their writing effort
is an attempt to get their current presidential
candidate elected. These are the same people
that gave us George Bush II, probably the
worst president since Calvin Coolidge. Now
they are trying to give us Money Bags
Romney, the tax evader. I do hope that readers
can see through this sales effort and vote for
the people who can in truth represent the mid-
dle and working classes.
It is sad to see how big money and big busi-
ness are dominating our country politically.
Too many politicians in both parties are con-
trolled by campaign donators and lobbyists. In
a two-party political system, a wise voter has
to select from the lesser of two evils on the
election ballot.

Feeding the beast
Editor,
During this time of economic hardship, the
community needs to be aware of how much is
being spent on government pensions. In jobs
in which people are employed by the local,
state and federal government, huge pensions
and health care benets are being paid out. At
the same time these workers also qualify for
Social Security, and have the option of retiring
at 55 compared to Social Securitys age of 65.
Whats more is these current workers enjoy
benets unparalleld anywhere else in society.
What it all adds up to is thousands and thou-
sands of people retiring each year and receiv-
ing, in a remans case, $110,000 a year, and
a public school teacher $84,000 a year as well
as the health care benets for the rest of their
lives. To be upset about a senior citizens aver-
age Social Security check of $1,200 a month
and Medicare benets is outrageous compared
to people being paid in retirement as they
were when they were working.

Word play
A
ll crunked up about the new batch
of words added to the Oxford
English Dictionary but not really
sure how to use them without sounding like
a member of the illiterati or a resident of la-
la land?
Chillax!
With a little tutoring on the new members
of the English lexicon and maybe some
grrl power for good measure one can
sprinkle these
terms into daily
shout-outs to the
rest of the
Twitterati faster
than the po-po
chases down
blinged-out,
mankini-wearing
locavores eschew-
ing the latest
frankenfish-serv-
ing eateries with
the other half of
their hot and
heavy bromance.
Many of these words have already wig-
gled their way into common vernacular,
leaving us to say duh to the recently
inducted doh! Mini-me. Droolworthy.
The dictionary obviously takes a while to
play catch up with pop culture.
Sexting? The all-too-common practice
doesnt need a definition; it needs a morato-
rium.
As a side note, lets first take a minute to
pour a little hooch on the ground for the
fallen homies of the dictionary set.
Cassette tape we hardly knew ya.
But back to the utterances the word-
smiths-in-charge at classy Oxford think the
cool kids are spouting off so much they
deserve a place in the hallowed tome.
Heres a quick vocab lesson for the uniniti-
ated:
Bromance: Generally defined as a close
but non-sexual relationship between two
men, a bromance shows that even in this
post-metrosexual climate of buddies and
man caves society has to make sure they
dont really like themselves in that way.
Friendship is so 80s buddy flick. Todays
cool guys have bromances.
Which, of course, brings us to another
new dictionary entry, guyliner. Decidedly
not droolworthy. Not necessarily connected
to bromance.
Same goes for mankini. Think of Borat.
Enough said. No, really. Enough.
Dont worry, ladies. You havent been left
out of the modern references, either. The
estrogen set inspired grrl, as in grrl
power to define a young woman who is
independent and strong. Funny. Isnt this
just considered normal? Of course, Words
With Friends aficionados are just happy to
have an option that doesnt require a vowel.
Maybe the self-confidence of grrl power
explains the prevalence of jegging-wearing
gals with muffin tops. Not sure what either
of those terms means? Oxford will help you
out; what it cant help, though, is the unfor-
tunate visual assault of either.
Thats right Im a hater. Look it up.
While youre heading to the reference
section, go check out Merriam-Webster
Collegiate Dictionarys collection of new-
bies that include a few of Oxfords choices
(the omnipresent sexting, for instance) and
signs the competing dictionary wants to
have the last word in, well, words. Along
with energy drink and life coach and a new
definition of underwater (thank you faulty
mortgages), the 114-year-old dictionary
allows one to legitimately ask the question
many of the new dictionary words inspire
namely, what the F-bomb?

U.S. stocks fell Monday as evidence
piled up that the global economic slow-
down is dragging on Asia.
The losses broke the longest winning
streak for the Standard & Poors 500
index since December 2010. The index
had risen for six straight days.
Japans economy grew in the second
quarter at a 1.4 percent annual rate, slow-
er than many analysts had expected. Last
week, China released dismal gures on
retail sales and exports in July. Traders
had hoped Beijing would roll out stimu-
lus measures over the weekend. That did
not happen.
Slower growth in Asia worries
investors because Asias economic
endurance has helped offset weakness in
the U.S. and Europe in recent years.
Exports from China and Japan are declin-
ing as Europes economic woes hurt con-
sumer condence there.
Whats happened is the law of gravity
is starting to hit, said Doug Cote, chief
market strategist at ING Investment
Management. Japan is volatile because it
is still recovering from last years mas-
sive earthquake and tsunami, he said, and
Chinas growth is slowing sharply.
Yet stocks, bonds and most other
investments are all up for the year, Cote
noted. He said the markets have been
pricing in Armageddon when clearly
things are much better than that. Cote
expects stocks to resume their upward
trend as fears about the global economy
dissipate.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed down 38.52 points at 13,169.43.
The S&P 500 declined 1.76 to 1,404.11.
The Dow is still up 7.8 percent for the
year, the S&P 11.7 percent.
The S&P 500 and Dow have risen
every week for the past ve weeks. The
S&P 500 last wrapped up a ve-week
climb in mid-March. The Dow hasnt
done so since last October.
Mondays, however, have brought
mostly losses for the market in recent
weeks. The Dow has fallen for 10 out of
the past 11 Mondays, and the S&P 500
has nished down ve of the last six.
The Nasdaq composite index rose 1.66
points to 3,022.52. The index was helped
by solid gains for two of its biggest com-
ponents, Apple and Google.
Google rose 2.8 percent after announc-
ing that it would cut 20 percent of the
staff at Motorola Mobility, the struggling
mobile phone maker it acquired in May.
Motorola hasnt had a hit product since it
introduced the Razr in 2005.

Big movers
By Peter Svensson
NEW YORK Google Inc. is mak-
ing its largest round of layoffs ever as it
announced plans to cut about 4,000 jobs
at Motorola Mobility just three months
after buying the struggling cellphone
pioneer.
The move isnt surprising given years
of plummeting sales at Motorola, but it
signals that Google doesnt intend to
drag Motorola along as a money-losing
venture.
After the announcement, Googles
stock rose $18.01, or 2.8 percent, to
close Monday at $660.01.
The reductions represent about 20 per-
cent of Motorola Mobilitys 20,000
employees and 7 percent of Googles
overall work force. Google says two-
third of the job cuts will take place out-
side of the U.S.
Google, which has been growing for
more than a decade, doesnt have a his-
tory of mass layoffs. In previous rounds
of layoffs, Google at most had cut a few
hundred workers.
Motorola, however, cut thousands of
jobs in recent years as its cellphone divi-
sion saw sales plummet. Although it pio-
neered the U.S. cellphone industry in the
1980s, it hasnt produced a mass-market
hit since it introduced the Razr cellphone
in 2004. Once the second-largest phone
maker in the world, Motorola no longer
ranks in the top 5.
Motorola now makes phones that run
on Googles Android operating software,
but rivals such as Samsung Electronics
Co. have been more successful at it.
Motorola split into two in early 2011.
Google snapped up Motorola Mobility,
the half that makes cellphones and cable
set-top boxes, for $12.4 billion.
Motorola Solutions, which makes police
scanners and other professional prod-
ucts, remains a separate company.
The Motorola deal is Googles largest
acquisition ever and plunges it into the
business of consumer products. It puts
Google in a position of competing with
the same companies it considers partners.
Google has pledged to keep the
Motorola hardware business separate
from its Android software division and
promised to treat Motorola like an out-
side company. It turned to AsusTek
Computer Inc. rather than its own divi-
sion to make a Google-branded tablet
computer called Nexus 7.
Googles chief goal in buying
Motorola was to use its large patent port-
folio to bolster its legal defenses.
Apple has been suing Samsung,
Motorola and other makers of Android
smartphones, saying they copied the
iPhone. By acquiring Motorolas patents
and transferring them to Android phone
makers such as HTC Corp., Google can
bolster their legal defenses and set them
up to counter-sue Apple.

Groupon Inc. said Monday that its sec-
ond-quarter earnings beat Wall Streets
prot estimates, but it underwhelmed
analysts with sales growth hurt by unfa-
vorable currency movements.
Net income in the three months to
June 30 came to $28.4 million, or 4 cents
per share. The earnings reversed a net
loss of $107.4 million a year ago.
Excluding the cost of paying execu-
tives with stock and a gain on reorganiz-
ing a Chinese joint venture, adjusted
earnings came to 4 cents per share, beat-
ing the 3 cents expected by analysts
polled by FactSet.
Revenue rose 45 percent to $568.3
million, which was below the $574.8
million expected by analysts. Groupon
says its revenue was $32.4 million lower
because of a weaker euro and U.K.
pound. That means sales made in Europe
got converted back into fewer U.S. dol-
lars.
Shares dropped $1.06, or 14 percent,
to $6.49 in after-hours trading following
the earnings release. Thats down 68 per-
cent from its initial public offering price
of $20 per share in November.
Groupon improved profitability by
reducing the cost of acquiring customers
by 43 percent, while increasing the num-
ber of active customers by 65 percent
from a year ago to 38 million.
We just got more efcient on market-
ing, Chief Financial Ofcer Jason Child
said in an interview. We dropped those
efciencies to the bottom line.
For the quarter through September,
Groupon said it forecast revenue of $580
million to $620 million. The midpoint
was below the $605.5 million expected
by analysts.

NEW YORK FedEx will soon
begin offering buyouts to U.S. employ-
ees in an effort to cut costs in the face of
a weakening global economy.
The worlds second largest package
delivery company hinted at cutbacks
earlier this summer when it said that
slowing economic growth would crimp
its earnings well into next year. It has
already removed some aircraft from its
eet of more than 600 to account for a
loss of demand.
While FedEx hasnt yet decided how
many positions will be eliminated, it will
likely focus on slow-growth areas like its
Express and Services units.
Express is where FedEx got its start in
1971, and its still the companys biggest
segment by far. The speedy shipping
division, which moves 3.5 million pack-
ages on an average day, has been hit hard
as people shift to slower delivery meth-
ods to conserve cash. The unit is also
being dragged down slowing Asian
growth and a reduction in demand for
Asian goods from the U.S. and Europe.
The unit reported revenue of $26.5 bil-
lion in the latest scal year and has more
than 146,000 employees worldwide
102,000 of those in the U.S.
Services is FedExs behind-the-scenes
logistics division, but it also includes
FedEx Ofce, formerly Kinkos.

News Corp launches
MundoFox network nationwide
LOS ANGELES News Corp. has launched its new
Spanish-language TV network on 50 stations, marking a
challenge to leaders Univision and Telemundo in the ght
for Hispanic audiences in the U.S.
The MundoFox network launched Monday on stations
such as KWHY-TV in Los Angeles and WPXO-LD in
New York, covering some 11.1 million Hispanic U.S.
households, or nearly 80 percent of the total.
By comparison, top-ranked Univision reaches 96 per-
cent of the market, while No. 2 Telemundo, owned by
Comcast Corp.s NBCUniversal, reaches 94 percent.
MundoFox is a 50-50 partnership between News Corp.s
Fox International Channels and RCN Television Group, a
TV show producer based in Colombia. Over the next few
years, RCNs programming will be available exclusively
on MundoFox as its agreements with other networks
expire.
RCN shows such as El Capo and Kdabra are set to
air right away.
BP sells U.S. refinery, Arco retail to Tesoro
LONDON Oil company BP says it has agreed to sell
its renery in Carson, California and other West Coast
assets to Tesoro Corp.
BP said Monday that Tesoro is paying $2.5 billion cash
for the renery, pipelines, storage terminals and Arco-
branded retail outlets in southern California, Arizona and
Nevada. BP is also selling the Arco brand rights for north-
ern California, Oregon and Washington and will lease
them back from Tesoro.
Earlier Monday, BP announced it was selling two gas
processing plants in Texas to Eagle Rock Energy Partners
for $227.5 million in cash for the Sunray and Hemphill gas
processing plants in Texas.
BP says it has now sold or agreed to sell assets worth
$26.5 billion since 2010. The company has a target of $38
billion in disposals by the end of next year to help pay the
costs of the Macondo well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico.

Foster City PJCC makes soccer history
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
While the rest of the world is still abuzz and
athletes from all over the globe are taking a
couple of minutes to shine their hard-earned
Olympic medals, 11 girls from the Peninsula
have some historic hardware to celebrate as
well.
No, its not from the London Games. But
dreams need to start somewhere so why not
Foster City?
The Peninsula Jewish Community Center
took 32 athletes to Memphis last week for the
30th Maccabi games. Its a week of competi-
tion designed to provide Jewish youth with a
supportive environment that fosters mutual
respect and sportsmanship, where they can
interact in an atmosphere of fun, democracy
and peace, according to the JCCs mission
statement. There is also the opportunity for
Jewish youth to cultivate a deeper understand-
ing and instill an appreciation of Jewish val-
ues and enrich their Jewish identity in an
informal setting.
According to Nicole Shifrin, the PJCCs
Youth and Family Program Manager, the cen-
ter has participated in the Maccabi games
since its inception and 2012 marked the rst
time the center has come home with a medal
a bronze in girls soccer.
I think one of our goals is to really encour-
age connection with other Jewish teams and
Jewish culture in general, Shifrin said.
Those are the things we try to accomplish
and its an amazing thing to meet Jewish
teams from around the world. Theres de-
nitely that cultural piece you dont get from
other athletic competitions that are similar.
The Peninsula athletes scored a 3-2 win
against a combined team with delegates repre-
senting Ann Arbor, Kansas City and Chicago
in the bronze medal match not bad for a
team that had only played together for three
weeks and had to endure eight games (two a
day) in more than 100 degree heat.
We just had a really good group, said
PJCC soccer coach Cole Cretcher, who went
to the Maccabi games for the rst time as a
23-year-old head coach. Our chemistry was
just there right from the get-go. Most of the
girls play on competitive club teams as well,
so that denitely helped us out. To be honest,
I didnt know how well we were going to do
in the tournament. ... I was pleasantly sur-
prised about the skill level of our girls and
how respectful they were of everyone in the
tournament.
Along with the girls soccer team, PJCC
was represented in boys soccer, boys and
girls basketball and tennis. But it was the 11
girls who made history for the PJCC.

JULIO LARA/DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Mills head football coach Mike Krieger heads into his rst season as a varsity head coach with hopes of turning around a once proud program.
The rebuild begins
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The 2011 season for the Mills High School
football team ended woefully. More defeating
than an 0-5 record in the PAL Lake Division,
a look across the sideline showed a program
with less than 20 suited players and a near-
empty student section.
So when Mike Krieger took over for Packy
Moss in April, step one in rebuilding a once-
proud program began immediately.
I think weve taken the [rst] steps over
summer, Krieger said about his couple of
months as a new varsity football coach one
of three in the PAL this season.
Its team, school, community, Krieger
said, the team is not doing well, the school
isnt supporting them, students arent here, no
one is at the games and the community isnt
supporting, its a problem on a couple of dif-
ferent levels.
And so, as the fall football practices of-
cially get under way and, with Mills rst
scrimmage less than two weeks out, Krieger is
hoping his initial labor starts bearing fruit.
So far, the results have been slow, but not
unexpected.
I knew it wasnt going to be easy, Krieger
said. It wasnt going to be easy because of
the culture on campus. It wasnt going to be
easy because of the last three football seasons
theyve won three games. When youre 16
or 17, you have other things you want to do
the one youre going to choose is the one that
takes the less work. Football is different than
any other sports because you have one game a
week with four or ve practices. Football is a
lot of work.
Under Moss, the Vikings were 3-26-1 over-
all and 1-13-1 in Peninsula Athletic League
play. And with losing comes a lack of school
morale and uninterested student athletes. As
such, on a recent to a Vikings practice, the
number of players out before the start of the
school year was less than 30 both varsity
and frosh/soph combined.
The numbers have always been low, but
they were committed, Krieger said about his
previous stints at Mills where he was an assis-
tant under brother Barrett.
Krieger said Year Ones summer program
revolved around 15 to 20 core kids hitting the
weight room at least four times a week.
We talk about it on almost a daily basis
this is your team, Krieger said. Our philoso-
phy as a coaching staff has been were going
to coach the kids that are here. Were not
going to worry about the ones that arent.
Mills challenge seems a little harder than
say Half Moon Bay and Woodside, the other
two programs welcoming new coaches con-
sidering a losing culture isnt as prevalent on
those two campuses. In fact, the Cougars enter

Learning to
play the game
W
hile taking with Serra baseball
manager Craig Giannino for a
story last week, he asked me
what I thought about the state of the game of
baseball on the Peninsula.
The question kind of caught me by sur-
prise. Watching as much baseball as I do dur-
ing the season, I never
stepped back to take a
look at the big picture
not only in baseball
but in youth sports in
general.
After thinking about
it for a few seconds, I
realized that the play at
the All-Star Little
League level was some
of the best and that
some of the older kids
tended to be more slop-
py. I dont know if that
is because as kids reach
their teen years, they think they know it all
and tune out coaches or if there is more to it.
The more I think about it, Ive come to the
following conclusion: while the technical
skills to play baseball or basketball or

Raiders shut
out by Dallas
OAKLAND Darren McFadden needed
one series to show hes in midseason form for
Oakland following a foot injury that cut his
last season short.
Most of the rest of the
rst-team offensive play-
ers for the Raiders and
Dallas Cowboys need
plenty of work to get back
to that level.
McFadden picked up
where he left off last sea-
son by gaining 38 yards on
Oaklands rst three plays
of the exhibition season
and the Raiders went on to
lose to the Dallas Cowboys 3-0 on Monday
night.
McFadden, who missed the last nine games
of 2011 with a Lisfranc injury to his right foot,
opened the game with a 4-yard run, an 18-yard
reception and a 16-yard run to delight of the
Raiders fans.

SANTA CLARA Perrish Cox
is quickly making up for lost time
and a lost season this summer with
the San Francisco 49ers.
After sitting out last year with
legal problems,
Cox is pushing
to make the ros-
ter and earn
playing time in a
competitive sec-
ondary after
joining the 49ers
in March.
Cox continued
to make an
impression during San Franciscos
preseason opener against Minnesota
last Friday, putting an exclamation
point on the 49ers 17-6 victory with
an interception to end the Vikings
nal offensive possession.
The second-year cornerback has
gained attention throughout training
camp with his consistent play and is
challenging for a role in coverage
packages in a secondary that returns
all four starters from last season,
including two Pro Bowlers.
Hes the same as hes been all
summer, 49ers defensive coordina-
tor Vic Fangio said Monday.
Perrish did well in the game the
other night with his opportunities.
Hes doing well in nickel (coverage)
and hes doing well at cornerback.
Hes going to factor into our plans
somehow, someway.
Cox is just relishing his new
opportunity to get on the eld. He
didnt play last season after the
Denver Broncos released him in
early September.
Denvers fth-round draft pick in
2010, Cox started nine games as a
rookie and showed potential as a
coverage corner with 14 passes
defensed. But his career took a jolt
late in that season when Cox was
arrested and charged with felonious
sexual assault.
With legal issues hovering over
him and a trial looming, Cox was not
signed by another team and spent
last season out of the NFL. He was
found not guilty of criminal charges
in a Colorado court on March 2, and
the 49ers signed him to a two-year
deal later that month.
During his season out of the
league, Cox remained in touch with
49ers secondary coach Ed Donatell,
who held the same position with the
Broncos during Coxs rookie season.
There was an opportunity waiting
for Cox with the 49ers once he was
legally cleared.
Cox has been making the most of
it while getting a long look at the
nickel back role in San Franciscos
multiple coverage packages.
It was tough for me last year, as
far as sitting on the sidelines and
watching, Cox said. Being out for
a year, you kind of look back on
what you could have done. But it
was a positive for me as far as learn-
ing what I needed to work on, and
also everything that I needed to work
on off the eld. The whole thing
was a learning experience.
Cox is learning a new position this
season playing inside against slot
receivers. Hes battling veteran
Tramaine Brock for playing time
behind San Franciscos top three
cornerbacks starters Carlos
Rogers and Tarell Brown and Chris
Culliver, the 49ers top nickel back
as a rookie in 2011 who could have
an expanded role this year.
Cox has been taken under the
wing of Rogers, who became a Pro
Bowl starter after his rst year with
the 49ers last season. Rogers played
several of the inside coverage roles
last season that Cox is learning this
summer.
The nickel is something tough,
and Perrish continues to work at it,
Rogers said. Thats one guy Im
kind of sticking with and working
with a whole lot. Its something new
for him and hes always asking me
something about all the positions.
For a guy thats coming in learning
and playing nickel for the rst time,
hes doing a good job and progress-
ing every day.
Cox got an opportunity for some
regular cornerback duty with San
Franciscos reserve units against
Minnesota and showed he can be
effective playing on the edge. He
was second on the team with three
tackles, and his diving interception
in front of Minnesota receiver Jarius
Wright was one of the defensive
highlights of the game.
Cox said playing outside at cor-
nerback is just more natural for me.
Its what Ive been doing basically
my whole life coming up playing
football. But he is with the 49ers to
t in and play wherever they can use
him.
I think about where I was at this
time last year and I wasnt involved,
Cox said. Whatever they need me
to do, Im here to do it.

Gerald Sensabaugh on the next play
for Oakland (tied for No. 23 in the
AP Pro32) and both the Raiders and
Cowboys (No. 15, AP Pro32) strug-
gled to generate much of anything
until the reserves took over in the
second half.
Kyle Orton drove Dallas 67 yards
on the opening drive of the second
half to set up Dan Baileys 33-yard
eld goal and that proved to be the
only scoring of the night.
McFadden left after that first
series and Palmer couldnt move the
Raiders without him. Matt Leinart
played the rest of a scoreless rst
half and completed six passes to
undrafted free agent Rod Streater
but couldnt put any points on the
board.
Dez Bryant, who status was in
question after leaving practice early
Saturday because of hamstring
tightness, came up with the only big
play for Dallas rst-team offense
when he made a good adjustment in
the air for a 24-yard gain from Tony
Romo on the rst offensive drive for
the Cowboys.
That was the only rst down in
three series with Romo under cen-
ter. Only two of Dallas other 10
plays with Romo in the game went
for more than 1 yard and both of
those were on third-and-longs when
the Cowboys couldnt convert.
The play was sloppy all around as
Dallas twice committed penalties on
punts to prolong drives for Oakland
and committed another before a
botched snap on a eld goal try.
The Raiders were unable to make
the Cowboys pay for those mistakes
as the first drive aided by two
fourth-down penalties ended in a
punt and usually reliable Sebastian
Janikowski was wide right on a 47-
yard eld goal attempt after the
third infraction.
Oakland had its share of mistakes
as Chimdi Chekwa let a punt roll to
the goal line instead of downing it at
the 1 and receiver Jacoby Ford had a
rough day all around.
Ford was stopped after a 4-yard
return on the opening kickoff, had
two passes from Palmer go through
his hands, was the target on
Palmers interception and muffed a
punt that rolled out of bounds to
miss a chance at a return.
Even the replacement officials
had their own problems as they
spotted one ball outside the hash
marks only to have Romo correct
them.
The game also marked the rst
real action as a pro for Terrelle
Pryor, the former Ohio State star
quarterback who had no official
plays as a rookie with Oakland.
Pryor missed last preseason because
he entered the league late through
the supplemental draft and commit-
ted a false start penalty before his
only play in the regular season.
Pryor completed 8 of 15 passes
for 50 yards, was sacked twice and
was quick to leave the pocket to
scramble, running six times for 21
yards. He put Oakland in position to
score but Eddy Carmona missed a
36-yard eld goal wide right with
6:44 remaining. Pryor then threw an
interception on fourth-and-26 in the
nal minute to end the game.

We were all just really ecstatic and felt
accomplished, Cretcher said. One thing that
was pretty cool was, when we rst got to
Maccabi, people would ask us where we were
from and we would say the Peninsula. And
people didnt really know where the
Peninsula was so we had to say San
Francisco. But toward the end of the tourna-
ment, our name started to be in peoples
mouths more than it was in the beginning. So
that was just a good feeling, that we started to
be recognized as a competitive team.
The victories on the pitch came second-
hand for the girls from the Peninsula though.
For them, the Maccabi games was historic
because of the hardware, yes, but beyond that,
it was about representing and showing the
Peninsulas true competitive team spirit. Ten
of the 11 players on the team found the back
of the net. And when faced with a 12-0 lead in
one of their games, PJCC actually allowed the
other team with a lower skill set to score so
they too could experience the thrill of scoring
a goal.
Theres this one term used at the Maccabi
games, Shifrin said, its rachmones and it
literally translates to compassion, but its lit-
erally used more toward sportsmanship in this
context. So I think one thing we can denite-
ly say about our girls is they really upheld that
principal and they were great sports.
Winning the medal was no small feat by
any means. I think they realized that and were
really proud of what they accomplished.

Still, as the Mills school bell is set to ring on

The challenge is one thing for sure.
Knowing the Mills football player, knowing

Giants manager Bruce Bochy is ejected during San Francisco loss to the Nationals Monday.
Nats all over the Giants
SAN FRANCISCO Kurt Suzuki drove in
four runs, Danny Espinosa and Roger
Bernadina each knocked in three and the
Washington Nationals routed the San
Francisco Giants 14-2 Monday night in a
matchup of NL division leaders.
Gio Gonzalez (15-6) tied a Nationals record
for wins in a season, boosted by Washingtons
highest-scoring game of the season.
The Nationals led 14-0 in the fth inning
and won for the 11th time in 13 games. They
are 7-1 on this road trip.
NL ERA leader Ryan Vogelsong (10-6)
allowed eight runs and nine hits in 2 2-3
innings, his shortest outing of the season.
Pinch hitter Brandon Crawford homered
and drove in both runs for the Giants, who
have lost three of ve.
The defeat dropped San Francisco into a tie
with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the NL
West lead.
Gonzalez returned to the Bay Area for the
rst time since the Oakland Athletics traded
him to the Nationals during the offseason. He
won his second straight after going 1-3 in his
ve previous starts.
LONDON For skeptics, the Olympics
were deliciously doomed: Londons transport
network would surely fail, Britains athletes
would op, rain would prevail and terrorists
would strike. But then the sun came out after
months of sodden skies, vehicles moved
briskly, there were no attacks and British ath-
letes reeled in a shocking 65 medals.
On Monday, as international athletes and
visitors poured out of London and the citys 8
million residents resumed their normal lives,
British ofcials hailed the 2012 Olympics as
an unqualied success. Even the naysayers
predicting doom and gloom had to eat their
words.
I was moaning like everyone else before
the games, thinking the roads would be
packed and nothing would work, said
London shopkeeper Yvette Tracton, 28. But
its been brilliant.
Celebrations kicked off around the country
as athletes returned home to cheering crowds.
Leeds gave a special reception to three medal-
ists, including triathlon gold and bronze-win-
ning brothers Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee.
Its been a fantastic week in London, but to
come home to Leeds is better than anything
else, said Alistair. His brother Jonathan
described the thousands on hand for their
heros welcome as absolutely incredible,
saying he hadnt realized how much their suc-
cess galvanized supporters back home.
Some 116,000 people were leaving Monday
from Heathrow airport, Londons busiest hub,
compared with 95,000 for a typical August
day. Gatwick Airport was handling 70,000
departing passengers, 15 percent more than
usual. Airports had come under scrutiny in the
months leading up to the Olympics for lacking
the staff to deal with backlogs of people and
luggage, but Mondays crowds moved through
without a hitch.
The exodus included thousands of athletes
and Prime Minister David Cameron, who was
heading on vacation to the Mediterranean.
Heathrow built a temporary Olympics ter-
minal with 31 check-in desks to accommodate
departing athletes and support staff. The ter-
minal was decorated like a park, and some
staff wore bearskin hats in the style of
Buckingham Palace guards.
I have to say to Britain, you guys did a
great job, said passenger Tumua Anae, a 23-
year-old Californian who won gold as part of
the U.S. water polo team.
Londons quirky mayor, Boris Johnson,
gloated to reporters, saying London had deed
the skeptics. Some 300,000 foreigners and 5.5
million day-trippers ocked to the city for the
games. Hotel occupancy was at 84 percent.
Doom and gloom: Olympic wins trump critics
SPORTS 14
even football or any other sport may be
greater than a generation or two ago, know-
ing how to play the game tends to be lack-
ing.
I know Im going into old-man mode but,
when I was coming up, kids were constantly
playing games, not just working on skills. I
believe, in general, the skill level wasnt the
same a generation ago, but knowing how to
play the game was much higher.
Basically, kids nowadays tend not to learn
the nuances of the games they play. The pro-
liferation of private coaches as well as the
need to keep a closer eye on kids due to all
the sickos in the world has led to kids honing
the skill to play but not learning the game.
You just dont see any more neighborhood
kids getting together, heading down to the
park and playing a pickup game of baseball.
You can take thousands of swings in the bat-
ting cage and take hundreds of grounders and
y balls, or take a thousand jumpers in the
gym but, without the context of the game, it
is nothing more than working on rote memo-
ry.
How many young players out there know
what a ghost runner or pitchers hands
is? What about Three Flies Up? Work
ups? 300 and 500? What about a game
of good, old-fashion pickle or pepper?
These were all games we played on our
own, without the help of any coaches or
adults to hone our baseball skills.
You still see pickup games of basketball
being played at the local basketball courts,
but how often do you see kids honing their
skills in their driveway, on a hoop nailed to
the roof? I know the roof hoop has been
replaced by the stand-alone goal but, for
some reason, its just not the same. Heck,
even though football is one of the hardest
games to play unsupervised without proper
safety and equipment, it was not off limits to
my friends and me. In fact, playing without
pads and helmets, maybe we were forced to
learn how to tackle without using our heads.
Given all the problems with concussions over
the last several years, maybe if players
learned to play without the gear, they would
be better prepared when they do put on the
pads.
Maybe I had it lucky. Growing up on my
block, there were eight boys all around the
same age not including younger brothers
and sisters. There were enough kids to nearly
eld a full baseball lineup, play 4-on-4 bas-
ketball or to have enough to make pickup
football interesting. It was also a time when
parents were comfortable letting their kids
go to the park alone to play.
There are denitely more opportunities
nowadays for young athletes to balance prac-
ticing on skills with game play. Private
coaches do enable players to better their
skills at a more rapid pace and the advent of
club and traveling teams allows kids to play
a sport all year if they wish. But everything
is so much more structured now, it seems to
have taken some soul and creativity out the
game. There is a difference between learning
the game on your own and being taught the
game. There is plenty of teaching going on, I
just think there is not as much learning hap-
pening.

The Daily Journal received a copy of an
email from Carlmont cross country coach
Jennifer Randazzo to the rest of the PAL
cross country coaches, who said she is step-
ping down as coach because of a new job
opportunity that will eliminate a headache of
a commute, in addition to other reasons. She
lives in Fremont, taught in Mountain View
and coached at Carlmont, which is an in-
nitely tougher commute than mine, so I can
understand her wanting to work closer to
home.
Randazzo took over the Carlmont program
three years ago following the controversial
departure of the previous coach. She then
clashed with some of the runners who were
still loyal to the previous coach. But over the
last couple of years, Randazzo has proven
she knows how to coach. She guided both
the boys and girls teams three straight
Peninsula Athletic League titles as well as
Central Coast Section titles in two of her
three years at the helm.
Count me among those who gave
Randazzo a hard time when she rst came
aboard and turned the squad on its head with
new training techniques. Maybe thats why
she hasnt talked to me in three years. But
she has proven she knows what she is doing.
Granted, it helps to have the talent Carlmont
churns out year in and year out, but it takes a
good coach to harness that talent and bring
out the best. Randazzo did that as well as
anyone.
Heres wishing Randazzo good luck in her
future endeavors and for those interested in
taking over the coaching reins, contact
Carlmont High athletic director Patrick
Smith at psmith@seq.org.
In fact, for a list of available coaching jobs
at the various PAL schools, go to the PAL
athletics website at
www.smcoe.k12.ca.us/pal. Even easier, just

LONDON Basking in post-Olympic
glory, Britain succumbed to reality Monday
with commuters venturing back to work and
Heathrow Airport bracing for one of its
busiest days ever.
Some 116,000 people are expected to leave
an exodus that includes some 6,000 ath-
letes and Prime Minister David Cameron for
his long-awaited summer vacation.
I have so many memories of these games,
said 27-year-old Esther Lofgren, who won
gold for the U.S. rowing team. Getting to see
the other athletes competing was just amaz-
ing. I got to see Usain Bolt run. And some of
the random stuff, like hanging out in the din-
ing hall meeting people from other countries,
has just been amazing.
Heathrow opened a special Olympic termi-
nal with 31 check-in desks to accommodate
departing athletes and support staff.
The special terminal, designed like a
London park, was lled with iconic items
such as a red telephone box and a double-
decker bus. Some Heathrow staff were sta-
tioned at a ticket counter wearing bearskin
hats, much like the guards at Buckingham
Palace.
The special terminal will be decommis-
sioned after three days and will go back to
being a staff car park.
London has staged a fantastic Olympics,
said 33-year-old Chris Brown of the Bahamas
who won gold in the mens 4x400 meter relay.
Heathrow, which deals with about 95,000
passengers a day, was criticized before the
Olympics for failing to provide enough staff
at immigration points.
But many tourists arriving at Heathrows
regular terminals Monday were pleasantly
surprised.
Everything has worked very well, said
Sashi Singh, a retired businessman returning
to his home in Fiji after coming to London
for the games. I didnt expect just to whizz
through like this. Everyone has been so
nice.

VATICAN CITY A Vatican judge on
Monday ordered the popes butler and a fel-
low lay employee to stand trial for the alleged
pilfering of documents from Pope Benedict
XVIs private apartment, in an embarrassing
scandal that exposed power struggles and pur-
ported corruption at the Holy Sees highest
levels.
The indictment accused Paolo Gabriele, a
butler arrested at the Vatican in May, of grand
theft a charge that could bring up to six
years in jail, although the pope could pardon
his once-trusted aide after any conviction.
Gabriele was also accused of taking a check
for (euro) 100,000 (about $125,000) made out
to Benedict and donated by a Spanish
Catholic university from the papal quarters.
Gabrieles lawyer, Carlo Fusco, told the
Associated Press that the check had by
chance ended up in a pile of the popes
paperwork Gabriele had accumulated in his
apartment. Fusco said his client had never
taken money or any other economic advan-
tage in his role as butler.
While the Vatican had insisted throughout
the investigation that Gabriele, a 45-year-old
married layman who lives with his family in
Vatican City, was the only person under inves-
tigation, the indictment also orders trial for
Claudio Sciarpelletti, a 48-year-old computer
expert in the Secretariat of State office
charged with aiding and abetting the butler.
Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico
Lombardi told reporters that a three-judge
panel would try the two defendants together.
No date was set for the trial, which will be
open to reporters, but Lombardi said it would
start at the very earliest in late September,
after the court returns from summer break.
The Holy See has been on a defensive foot-
ing since documents alleging corruption and
exposing power struggles began appearing in
the Italian media in January. In May, the book
Sua Santita (His Holiness) by Italian
journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi was published
containing dozens of documents from the
popes desk, including letters written to him.
Lombardi said Monday that magistrates
had not taken on the wider, more serious
issue revealed by the leaked documents
alleged corruption within the top ranks of the
church. He said Vatican investigators would
pursue other culprits, but sidestepped a ques-
tion on whether a special panel of cardinals
Benedict set up to deal with the scandal had
made any inroads into the wider question of
moral wrongdoing among those higher up.
Benedict has reviewed the indictment, he
said.
Meanwhile, Greg Burke, a U.S. television
journalist recently hired by the Vatican as its
senior communications adviser, told the AP
that the Holy See didnt expect the ongoing
judicial probe to turn up any mastermind.
The trial request and indictment basically
lay out a script for what could be Gabrieles
line of defense when he goes before the tribu-
nal a religiously inspired, misguided,
would-be whistleblower.
Vatican Prosecutor Nicola Picardi, in seek-
ing trial, quoted Gabriele as telling his inter-
rogators after his arrest that he thought that
the role of whistle-blower in the church
belongs to the Holy Spirit, whom I felt in
some way had entered into me.
A psychological expert who examined
Gabriele during the probe concluded that he
was unsuited for the job, which went from
dawn to dusk and included serving the pope
meals, helping him get dressed, attending
morning Mass with Benedict and other
assignments. The indictment said the experts
had concluded that Gabriele suffered from a
grave psychological unease characterized by
restlessness, tension, anger and frustrations.
The indictment quoted Gabriele as telling
investigators that he was motivated by my
deep faith and by the desire that in the church
light is shed on everything.
Vatican prosecutor Nicola Picardi quoted
the butler as telling his interrogators that see-
ing evil and corruption everywhere in the
Church ... I was sure that a shock, even a
media one, would have been healthy to bring
the Church back on the right track.

owns on the west side of the project area
along Fifth Avenue, deMelo told the Daily
Journal.
Some of the property owners in the
Firehouse Square site feared they may have
had to face eminent domain if they were
unwilling to sell to make way for the devel-
opment as rst proposed in 2009.
The rules have changed, deMelo said
regarding the dissolution of the RDA.
Eminent domain is not on the radar. It is a
power that is just not out there.
The owners of 1324 and 1326 El Camino
Real also run a business out of the property
called ePC Computer Solutions and have
been following the development proposals for
Firehouse Square for years.
We dont want to go, said Munish
Manrao, founder of the computer company
whose father owns the building. We are very
happy in this location.
Manrao feared the city may have tried to
force the family to sell the building through
eminent domain before the RDA dissolved
and the scope of the project was scaled back.
Firehouse Square was originally envisioned
to be a distinct village with a unique theme.
Judys Flag City also sits in the original
project area as dened by the 2009 Request
for Qualications.
Is it really going to happen? owner Judy
Sheldon asked about the Sares-Regis propos-
al.
She has operated her business on El
Camino Real in Belmont for 18 years and has
a lease that is set to expire soon.
In the original RFQ, the city stated it had a
desire to keep the Iron Gate Restaurant at its
current location or relocated to a new site on
the block.
But unless any of the private property own-
ers on El Camino Real are willing to join in
the project, none of the parcels will be includ-
ed in the Sares-Regis proposal.
One of the nine privately-owned parcels,
however, on the corner of El Camino Real
and ONeill Avenue, sits completely vacant
and has already been approved for a nine-unit
residential complex with a mix of retail and a
garage. Construction on that project has not
started, however.
On the acre of city-owned land, Sares-
Regis is being asked to develop eight town-
homes and/or single-family homes with one
set aside as affordable. The city is also seek-
ing for Sares-Regis to build a quality ofce
and/or retail/restaurant development on the
site.
Sares-Regis, representing Belmont
Firehouse Square, LLC, wants to purchase
and develop the city-owned 1-acre property.
The Belmont Chamber of Commerce fully
supports the proposed project.
This is fantastic news, said Chamber
President George Burgess. We couldnt be
happier Sares-Regis is involved.
It is a project that will help boost econom-
ic development in the city, he said.
Tonight, city staff is recommending the
council adopt a resolution to engage in the
development of an Exclusive Negotiating
Agreement with Belmont Firehouse Square,
LLC as a potential master developer for the
site.
The Belmont City Council meets 7:30 p.m.,
tonight, City Hall, 1 Twin Pines Lane,
Belmont.

CHICAGO Laws strictly curbing school
sales of junk food and sweetened drinks may
play a role in slowing childhood obesity,
according to a study that seems to offer the
rst evidence such efforts could pay off.
The results come from the rst large nation-
al look at the effectiveness of the state laws
over time. They are not a slam-dunk, and even
obesity experts who praised the study
acknowledge the measures are a political hot
potato, smacking of a nanny state and
opposed by industry and cash-strapped
schools relying on food processors money.
But if the laws have even a tiny effect,
what are the downsides of improving the
food environment for children today? asked
Dr. David Ludwig, an obesity specialist at
Harvard Medical School and Boston
Childrens Hospital. You cant get much
worse than it already is.
Children in the study gained less weight
from fth through eighth grades if they lived
in states with strong, consistent laws versus
no laws governing snacks available in
schools. For example, kids who were 5 feet
tall and 100 pounds gained on average 2.2
fewer pounds if they lived in states with
strong laws in the three years studied.
Also, children who were overweight or
obese in fth grade were more likely to reach
a healthy weight by eighth grade if they lived
in states with the strongest laws.
The effects werent huge, and the study
isnt proof that the laws inuenced kids
weight. But the results raised optimism
among obesity researchers and public health
experts who generally applaud strong laws to
get junk food out of schools.
This is the rst real evidence that the laws
are likely to have an impact, said Dr. Virginia
Stallings, director of the nutrition center at
Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia. Stallings
chaired an Institute of Medicine panel that
urged standards for making snack foods and
drinks sold in schools more healthful but was
not involved in the new research.
The authors of the study, released online
Monday in the journal Pediatrics, analyzed
data on 6,300 students in 40 states. Their
heights and weights were measured in spring
2004, when they were nishing fth grade
and soon to enter middle school, and in 2007,
during the spring of eighth grade.
The researchers also examined several data-
bases of state laws on school nutrition during
the same time. The states were not identied
in the study because of database license
restrictions that protect the students conden-
tiality, the authors said.
The laws governed food and drinks sold in
public school vending machines and school
stores, outside of mealtime. Laws were con-
Study: Junk food laws may help curb kids obesity
A study showed that children who were overweight in fth grade were more likely to reach
a healthy weight by eighth grade if they lived in states with the strongest junk food laws.

ATLANTA A new government sur-
vey shows 12 states now have very high
obesity rates.
Overall, more than a third of adults are
obese but rates vary by state. The latest
figures are based on a 2011 telephone sur-
vey that asked adults their height and
weight. For the first time, households with
only cell phones were included.
State rates remained about the same
although states with very high rates went
from nine to 12. At least 30 percent of
adults are obese in Alabama, Arkansas,
Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan,
Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Texas and West Virginia.
Colorado was lowest, at just under 21
percent, and Mississippi was highest at
nearly 36 percent.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention released the figures Monday.

obesity data at http://www.cdc.gov/obesi-
ty/data/adult.html.

sidered strong if they included specic nutrition requirements,
such as limits on sugar and fats. Laws were rated weak if the
requirements were vague and merely urged sales of healthy
food without specics.
The results show that for these laws to be effective, they
need to be consistently strong in all grades, said lead author
Daniel Taber, a health policy researcher at the University of
Illinois at Chicago.
In late 2003, 27 of the states studied had no relevant laws
affecting middle-schoolers, seven had weak laws and six had
strong laws. Several states and school districts enacted tougher
laws affecting middle-schoolers and younger kids during the
next few years as national concern rose over obesity rates.
Recent data suggest that almost 20 percent of elementary
school children nationwide are obese, and the rate among
teens is only slightly lower.
In states with consistently strong laws in elementary and
middle school, almost 39 percent of fth-graders were over-
weight when the study began. That fell to 34 percent in eighth
grade. Also, almost 21 percent of fth-graders were obese,
declining to about 18 percent in the eighth grade.
In states with no relevant laws, almost 37 percent of fth-
graders were overweight and 21 percent were obese, and those
numbers barely budged by eighth grade.
Boston University statistician Mark Glickman said the study
design makes it difcult to reach any convincing conclusions.
Its possible, for example, that stronger laws might be more
prevalent in Democratic-leaning states with better-educated
residents, and less obesity. But the study authors said they
found stronger laws in states that had high levels of obesity.
The authors accounted for gender, race, income and school
location.

ATLANTA Dont pet the pigs.
Thats the message state and coun-
ty fair visitors got Thursday from
health ofcials who reported a ve-
fold increase of cases of a new strain
of swine u that spreads from pigs to
people. Most of the cases are linked
to the fairs, where visitors are in close
contact with infected pigs.
This u has mild symptoms and
its not really spreading from person
to person.
This is not a pandemic situation,
said Dr. Joseph Bresee of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention.
But any u can be a risk for some
people, and people should be cau-
tious when they can, he added.
The case count jumped from 29 a
week ago to 158 this week, thanks to
a wave of new cases in Indiana and
Ohio, said Bresee, the agencys chief
of inuenza epidemiology.
Most of the infected patients are
children probably because many
were working closely with raising,
displaying and visiting pigs at the
agricultural fairs, Bresee said.
The recent cases include at least
113 in Indiana, 30 in Ohio, one in
Hawaii and one in Illinois, Bresee
said in a conference call with
reporters.
The count is changing rapidly.
Indiana health ofcials on Thursday
afternoon said they had seven more
conrmed cases than Bresee noted.
That would raise the grand total to
165 so far.
Also, diagnosis of cases has
become quicker in the last week.
CDC no longer must conrm a case
with its own lab. Now states are using
CDC test kits to conrm cases on
their own on, speeding the process
along. The newly reported cases were
likely infected a week or two ago.
The CDC has been tracking cases
since last summer. A concern: The
new strain has a gene from the 2009
pandemic strain that might let it
spread more easily than pig viruses
normally do.
The good news is the u does not
seem to be unusually dangerous.
Almost all the illnesses have been
mild and no one has died. Two of the
recent cases were hospitalized, but
both recovered and were discharged,
Bresee said.
More good news is that all of the
recent cases appear to have spread
from pigs to humans, meaning its
not very contagious, at least between
people. But there probably will be
more cases in the weeks ahead, and it
wont be surprising if at least a few of
them involve person-to-person trans-
mission, Bresee said.

MILWAUKEE Is a gun like a virus,
a car, tobacco or alcohol? Yes, say pub-
lic health experts, who in the wake of
recent mass shootings are calling for a
fresh look at gun violence as a social
disease.
What we need, they say, is a public
health approach to the problem, like the
highway safety measures, product
changes and driving laws that slashed
deaths from car crashes decades ago,
even as the number of vehicles on the
road rose.
One example: Guardrails are now
curved to the ground instead of having
sharp metal ends that stick out and pose
a hazard in a crash.
People used to spear themselves and
we blamed the drivers for that, said Dr.
Garen Wintemute, an emergency medi-
cine professor who directs the Violence
Prevention Research Program at the
University of California, Davis.
It wasnt enough back then to curb
deaths just by trying to make people
better drivers, and it isnt enough now to
tackle gun violence by focusing solely
on the people doing the shooting, he
and other doctors say.
They want a science-based, pragmat-
ic approach based on the reality of a
society saturated with guns and seek
better ways of preventing harm from
them.
The need for a new approach crystal-
lized last Sunday for one of the nations
leading gun violence experts, Dr.
Stephen Hargarten. He found himself
treating victims of the Sikh temple
shootings at the emergency department
he heads in Milwaukee. Seven people
were killed, including the gunman, and
three were seriously injured.
It happened two weeks after the shoot-
ing that killed 12 people and injured 58
at a movie theater in Colorado, and two
days before a man pleaded guilty to
killing six people and wounding 13,
including then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords,
in Tucson, Ariz., last year.
What Im struggling with is, is this
the new social norm? This is what were
going to have to live with if we have
more personal access to rearms, said
Hargarten, emergency medicine chief at
Froedtert Hospital and director of the
Injury Research Center at the Medical
College of Wisconsin. We have a pub-
lic health issue to discuss. Do we wait
for the next outbreak or is there some-
thing we can do to prevent it?
About 260 million to 300 million
rearms are owned by civilians in the
United States; about one-third of
American homes have one. Guns are
used in two-thirds of homicides, accord-
ing to the FBI. About 9 percent of all
violent crimes involve a gun roughly
338,000 cases each year.
Doctors target gun violence as a social disease
Hostfactors: What makes someone more likely to shoot,
or someone more likely to be a victim.One recent study found
rearm owners were more likely than those with no rearms
at home to binge drink or to drink and drive, and other
research has tied alcohol and gun violence. That suggests
that people with driving under the inuence convictions
should be barred from buying a gun,Wintemute said.
Product features: Which rearms are most dangerous and
why.Manufacturers could be pressured to x design defects
that let guns go off accidentally, and to add technology that
allows only the owner of the gun to re it (many police ofcers
and others are shot with their own weapons).Bans on assault
weapons and multiple magazines that allow rapid and repeat
ring are other possible steps.
Environmentalrisk factors: What conditions allow or
contribute to shootings. Gun shops must do background
checks and refuse to sell rearms to people convicted of
felonies or domestic violence misdemeanors, but those
convicted of other violent misdemeanors can buy whatever
they want.The rules also dont apply to private sales,which one
study estimates as 40 percent of the market.

That includes enforcement of building
and zoning codes, trash cart storage, sign
regulations, health/safety concerns and
nuisances such as abandoned vehicles
and overgrown vegetation.
With the citys limited resources, pri-
oritizing what code violations should be
enforced the most is the police depart-
ments focus, according to a staff report.
The department absorbed one full-
time code enforcement ofcer in May
and has been training ofcers on patrol
to also address code enforcement com-
plaints or violations.
Code enforcement is also responsible
for inspecting grease traps, noise com-
plaints and a long list of other potential
violations to city code.
Since May, police have concentrated
their efforts on code violations related to
signs, abandoned vehicles and over-
grown vegetation due to seasonal re
danger, according to the staff report.
Scheduling has been a challenge but
staff has been flexible and weekend
enforcement efforts are now in place,
according to the staff report.
Already, Councilwoman Coralin
Feierbach has noticed those A-frame
signs Realtors put up on the weekends
for open homes have not been seen in
Belmont in recent weeks.
A-frame signs are not allowed to
obstruct sidewalks in Belmont. Some
ordinances are hard to enforce, she said,
but residents need to do a better job of
taking their garbage cans off the streets
and sidewalks.
Compliance in many areas has already
improved in the short time since the pro-
gram began, according to the staff
report.
We are now trying to make more per-
sonal contact with people regarding
potential violations, DeSmidt wrote the
Daily Journal in an email. One example
of this is in the area of overgrown vege-
tation. In the past this would have been
done by letter. Since the personal contact
comes with some individual education,
the compliance rates seem better this
year, and the work seems to be getting
done quicker.
The council meets 7:30 p.m., tonight,
City Hall, 1 Twin Pines Lane, Belmont.

CODE
immediate knowledge of the suit.
Kniley worked with the Pi3 Kinase
program team which was committing
illegal and unethical conduct by devi-
ating from scientic and ethical stan-
dards for human trials, according to her
suit.
This was the rst time this drug was
being tested in humans so they didnt
know what to expect. What was happen-
ing is management was speeding ahead
without rst waiting for the results of the
earlier studies, said Emily St. John
Cohen, one of Knileys attorneys.
Kniley had received nothing but excel-
lent reviews and promotions but, after
complaining to higher ups about the
teams alleged violations of several laws
and safety regulations in the fall of 2008,
the suit claims that one doctor in partic-
ular verbally harassed and belittled her.
Kniley also claims she was excluded
from meetings which left her unable to
fully function in her job and was twice
told that Roche Genentechs parent
company would take this molecule
away from us if it saw the more realis-
tic timelines she presented.
In July and August of 2009, Kniley
said she was instructed to let the clinical
trial go ahead without the necessary
approvals but, after refusing, was demot-
ed and removed from the program.
The downgrade and removal was
pure retaliation and damaged Knileys
reputation at the company and in the
community, the suit alleges.
Knileys performance review for that
year was negative, which the suit claims
was inaccurate, and she claimed the
retaliation and as a result other poor
performance reviews and denial for a
new position continued until her ter-
mination Aug. 30, 2011, according to the
lawsuit.

SUIT
By Sandy Cohen
LOS ANGELES Robert Pattinson
has decided to come back to the spot-
light, that is.
The 26-year-old actor has been out of
sight since learning last month that his
girlfriend and Twilight co-star Kristen
Stewart had an affair with a married
movie director. A tabloid printed photos of
the illicit dalliance, breaking the hearts of
Twilight fans worldwide and prompting
Stewart and the director to issue public
apologies to their loved ones.
But Pattinson couldnt lay low forever
he has a lm to promote. So on
Monday, he was in New York for round of
media appearances, including a chat with
Jon Stewart on The Daily Show and the
premiere of Cosmopolis, a thriller based
on a Don DeLillo novel.
On the red carpet, an upbeat Pattison
wasnt asked directly about the cheating
scandal media were limited on the
number of questions they could ask but
he talked at one point about the movies
steamy sex scenes.
I feel a little uncomfortable doing that.
But I mean, some of
the scenes in this
were like complicated
acting scenes, like
during a sex scene
which makes it its
a very strange experi-
ence, he said with a
smile.
Work obligations
often force celebrities
out of hiding after
challenging personal
situations, but choosing how and where to
make a comeback is often a carefully cal-
culated move.
Theres no one show thats the right
answer for everyone, said veteran publi-
cist Howard Bragman, now vice chairman
of Reputation.com. The right answer is
the one where you think youre going to
get the most respect, the fairest hearing
and the best presentation and potential-
ly where youve had the best relationships
in the past.
When Pattinson chatted with Stewart in
2010, the comedian invited him to return,
saying, You are making me cooler.
For his appearance Monday on The
Daily Show, Stewart joked in the show
opener that a lot of people might be tuning
in for the rst time.
A graphic went up on the bottom of the
screen during a segment on Republican
Mitt Romneys Vice Presidential pick,
Paul Ryan, welcoming Twilight Fans
and alerting them that they were watching
a show mostly dealing with politics and
media.
When Pattinson did take the stage,
Stewart asked, What have you been up
to? and handed him ice cream. Were
just a couple o gals talkin...tell me every-
thing.
Pattinson seemed uncomfortable but
good-natured.
My biggest problem in life is Im
cheap and I didnt hire a publicist, joked
the actor about navigating this highly-
publicized time. (For the record, he really
doesnt have a publicist.)
Stewart brought the conversation back
to ice cream. The last time I had a bad
breakup, Ben & Jerry got me through
some of the tougher times. So I thought
you and I could talk about, Boy, you are
better off. Kick her to the curb.
Whatever! he said as Pattinson laughed.
Pattinson returns to spotlight on The Daily Show

ing or selling for public consumption could turn out
to be very proftable. Your touting skills will be at an
all-time high.

days when you should be able to focus your energies
