State pension funds grow more than 20 percent

By Adam Weintraub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Californias two largest public pension funds each reported hefty returns of more than 20 percent for the scal year ended June 30, the investment teams announced Monday. Despite the windfalls, both funds still face tough questions about whether they will be able to meet their obligations to millions of retirees and
their families in the long run. However, the top-drawer returns the highest since before the recession gave new ammunition to pension supporters against calls by critics for sweeping pension reform at the state Capitol or through the ballot box. These healthy returns at a time when the economy is struggling should put an end to the doom-andgloom scenarios of politicians who want to take a wrecking ball to our states pension funds, said Dave
Low, chairman of Californians for Retirement Security, a coalition of public employee groups. Public pension costs have drawn political pressure and efforts to drastically revise the system at the Capitol or at the polls. Public employees have been pushing back, arguing that pensions can be xed with relatively minor changes to curtail abuses and that the recessions effects would dwindle over time. Retirement benets are paid from
investment returns and from contributions made by workers and the governments that employ them. Every dollar generated through investments is a dollar that doesnt have to come from one of those other sources. The California Public Employees Retirement System, the nations biggest public pension fund, reported a one-year return of 20.7 percent, with gains in nearly every investment category. That preliminary gure was the
best after-fees return in 14 years for CalPERS, which oversees benets for 1.6 million current and retired state and local government employees and their families. Its also the second consecutive year CalPERS topped the 7.75 percent investment return target assumed in its long-range nancial model. Still, critics say the assumption is too optimistic and retirement benets

Windsurfer missing
Exhaustive search for 62-year-old woman in Bay, firefighters seeing more water rescues
By Bill Silverfarb and Jon Mays
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Daly City father accused of dangling his 17-month-old son inside a heated oven to teach him its dangers was convicted yesterday of felony child cruelty, child endangerment and inicting great bodily injury. The verdict came two days after jurors began deliberating whether Gregory David Colver, 20, in December knowingly placed his child in the appliance feet rst or if the boy heated and entered the oven on his own while his father slept.
Two days later, Colver told police he lost it and held his son inside until he squirmed out his grasp but defense attorney Mara Feiger said he Gregory Colver falsely confessed at the prodding of investigators and doctors who said the injuries could not be accidental. Shortly after the verdict, Feiger

A 62-year-old Los Altos woman is missing after heading out to windsurf in the Bay at 5 p.m. yesterday and a multi-hour search was looking grim, according to re ofcials. The woman, who was undergoing chemotherapy, was with her husband just north of the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge when he lost track of her, said San Mateo-Foster City Fire Chief Dan Belville. Rescue ofcials were called at about 7 p.m. Several jurisdictions, including the Alameda Fire Department, the Redwood City Fire Department and the Foster City Fire Department dispatched their water rescue teams and searched throughout the Bay with the assistance of the U.S. Coast Guard.
At approximately 9:30 p.m., local jurisdictions had their efforts called off because of failing light and choppy waters, yet the Coast Guard dispatched a Cutter and had a helicopter searching throughout the night, said U.S. Coast Guard Lt. jg Heather Lampert. Ofcials at San Francisco International Airport were also conducting a land search, Lampert said. She is an experienced windsurfer and was wearing a wetsuit, helmet and personal otation device, Belville said. Belville added that the Coast Guard indicated it would continue the search until 3 a.m. by following drift patterns. While this exhaustive search seems to be unsuccessful, it is exactly these types of efforts for which local

CEOs son, girlfriend dies within a week

CORONADO The most common crimes are small-time theft. Bicycles vanish from homes. Cell phones and other gadgets are stolen from cars and beach towels. Residents of the wealthy San Diego suburb of Coronado which features safe streets, world-class beaches and a smalltown feel are shocked by two mysterious deaths within a week, both tied to a historic mansion. The rst came when Rebecca Zahau, the 32-year-old girlfriend of Arizona pharmaceuticals tycoon Jonah Shacknai was found dead Wednesday, her nude body hanging from balcony of his home, her wrists and ankles bound. Two days earlier, Shacknais son, Max, 6, who was being cared for by Zahau, fell down the stairs and was hospitalized. His parents said late Sunday that he died from his injuries. Investigators say the sons death was an accident. They say Zahaus death is suspicious, but havent ruled out suicide. Authorities repeated Monday they havent established any link between the boys fall and the womans death. Investigators identied the woman as Rebecca Nalepa, but court records show she changed her last name to Zahau in May after a divorce. Investigators declined to discuss evidence in the case.

Woman to marry one year after paralyzing accident

RALEIGH, N.C. A year after she was paralyzed in poolside horseplay at her bachelorette party, Rachelle Friedman knows one thing she would change about her life before the injury. I wish we had danced together more because I love dancing so much, and we didnt do it enough, she says of her soonto-be husband. Looking back, I would have done it every night. Friedman will nally make it down the aisle on Friday, marrying the man who has waited with her to exchange vows since the accident. She is wearing the same gown she chose for the rst ceremony but with her father pushing her wheelchair down the aisle instead of walking her down it, arm in arm. Also joining her will be the bridesmaid who shoved her into the shallow end of a pool on May 23, 2010 causing a freak accident that changed their lives. The 25year-old from Knightdale has stuck with her friend and refused to reveal her identity even as newspapers, television and Internet sites carried the story around the world. She was tragically hurt, mentally and emotionally. And I was tragically hurt, physically, Friedman says on a day that a tailor is altering her strapless, simple wedding dress to t her new, thinner, less muscular body. Its harder to deal with when youre hurt emotionally sometimes than when youre hurt physically.

Redevelopment agency sued

A South San Francisco property owner is suing the citys redevelopment agency for lowering the value of two buildings it hoped to purchase an allegation the city attorney contests. On July 8, a 19-page lawsuit was led on behalf of the Dalal Metwally Living Trust, Omar Bahnasy and Bassamat Bahnasy against the South San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. The lawsuit alleges the citys RDA harassed the property owners and businesses at 415-417 Grand St. through multiple code enforcement citations and not issuing business licenses while planning to purchase the property, according to papers led by Raymond Loughrey, a San Francisco-based lawyer representing the property owners. South San Francisco City Attorney Steve Mattas said the code enforcement issues were legitimate. The city was in talks to buy the property which have since ended voluntarily by both sides, he said. Those who own the property see it differently. Property owners described the city as starting a concerted effort to diminish the value of the property so that the [Redevelopment] Agency could purchase it at a reduced price in 2004. The property owners are suing in hopes of recouping money lost from the decreased property value, empty rental spaces, development costs and legal fees. That effort began, according to the lawsuit, with sign and banner violations. In 2005, the property owners allege that the city systematically refused to grant business licenses for tenants at the property resulting in a decline in occupancy rate from 85 percent in June 2005 to 20 percent by the end of they year. Such a drop came with a loss of rental income, according to the lawsuit. revenue to basic services. The California Redevelopment Association, the League of California Cities and two San Francisco Bay area cities are asking the California Supreme Court to block the change from taking effect until their case can be heard. The Legislature approved two budget bills in June that would eliminate the states 400 redevelopment agencies by Oct. 1. It allowed local A desire to remodel the two buildings was met with additional steps and direction to meet the citys proposed needs, according to the lawsuit. Options for such a remodel were submitted in October 2006. In December 2006, the city advised property owners that a structural engineer was required to assess the building. A $10,000 retainer was deposited with an engineer. Plans for converting the buildings into a mixed use of ofces and commercial condominiums were submitted and approved by the Planning Commission Feb. 1, 2007. A letter was sent to owners to recongure plans to meet the citys needs, according to the lawsuit. South San Francisco began holding closed session meetings to discuss the property beginning two weeks later. In the following years, negotiations took place and the buildings appraised. There was over a $2 million difference in the appraisals secured by the city and the property owners. As of June 2009, negotiations for the property ended. governments to launch new agencies if they agreed to pay a share of property taxes to local governments and schools, replacing money the state pays. Cities and agencies called that a ransom demand. They say the move runs counter to Proposition 22, the constitutional amendment approved in November 2010 by 61 percent of voters that was supposed to halt state raids on local funding.

Grand jury is mostly happy with responses

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury is mostly pleased with more than two dozen responses received in the past two years to its reports but recommends more investigation into how the Los Trancos Water District collects and spends tax revenue. The current civil grand jury reviewed the responses to reports issued by the juries in 2009 and 2010. While the reports carry no legal weight, recipients are required to respond in writing within 90 days. The agencies agreed with 60 percent of the reports ndings and conclusions, according to the 2011 civil grand jury. While the review of the responses was primarily favorable, the jury did suggest more investigation on the 2009 report entitled A Water District Without Water which questioned why the district was still collecting tax revenue even though the water system was
sold to CalWater in 2005. Los Trancos Woods is an unincorporated section of San Mateo County near Portola Valley. The district rebates 40 percent of the revenue to Los Trancos and Vista Verde residents through water charge reductions but the report recommended a future jury look at the revenue use again. The jury also revisited a 2009 report on San Mateo Medical Centers medication administration check system. The report found that the number of medication errors had dropped to less than half due to the $800,000 software system but recommended the data be improved through benchmarks, baselines and effectiveness reports. In its response review, the current jury found that the medical center is following through on the suggestions and no further follow-up is necessary right now. The full summary report is available at www.sanmateocourt.org/grandjury

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is the worlds largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancer. In December, a representative attended a student council meeting to introduce the campaign and encouraged the students to begin collecting the rst week of January. Lead by Audubon fth grade teacher Dawn Tesarowski, the school kicked off the New Year with fth grade students generating enthusiasm for the cause by preparing and presenting short skits for the kickoff assemblies, and by writing and broad-casting daily announcements. Students collected loose change over the course of three weeks, adding up the totals each week. Student council representatives reminded students to bring in their donations and they turned in their classroom boxes weekly. Each Monday morning, the previous weeks collection was announced and posters around the school kept everyone informed about the running total. Classroom teachers took advantage of the money-collecting activity to enhance math lessons on money, counting and estimating. At the end of three weeks, the student council was excited to announce that the school collected over $4,100. Honorable mentions go to Mr. Abergs fourth graders for bringing in over $500 and to Mrs. Beatys second graders for donating over $300. *** Twenty-eight Sequoia Union High School District students (from Carlmont, Sequoia and Woodside high schools) have just returned home from Sojourn to the Past, a 10-day civil rights trip to the Deep South.

Time served for drunk man who grabbed boy

A Daly City man who was punched by a 12year-old boy whom he grabbed while apparently intoxicated two weeks ago was sentenced to time served yesterday for simple battery. John Herman Dinetti, 27, pleaded no contest and was immediately given two years court probation and 20 days jail. He had credit earned while in custody in lieu of $25,000 bail. On July 5, prosecutors say Dinetti, who appeared drunk, approached a boy walking
home from a martial arts studio and grabbed him by the wrist, saying Come with me. The boy tried pulling away and punched Dinetti in the face with his free hand.

Police impersonator arrested

San Carlos police arrested a man Friday for impersonating a police ofcer after an investigation spurred from several incidents between June 21 and July 11. At approximately 4:38 p.m. Friday, San Mateo County sheriffs deputies arrested Michael Anthony Juricich, 48, in front of his residence on the 3000 block of Brittan Avenue. He was arrested for identifying himself as a police ofcer and displaying a fake badge while trying to obtain a police report at the San Carlos substation for a custody hearing.

Man killed by police was sought in Washington

By Terry Collins
SAN FRANCISCO Police Chief Greg Suhr said Monday that police were justied when they shot and killed a Washington state parolee who red at ofcers chasing him on foot for not paying his fare on a light-rail train. The parolee, Kenneth Harding Jr., 19, of Seattle was later identied as a person of interest in the recent shooting death of a pregnant woman in Seattle. Suhr said Harding red the rst shot Saturday at two ofcers, who shot back about nine times. Harding was pronounced dead after the chase in the Bayview-Hunters Point area. Suhr told reporters the ofcers were well within their authority when shooting at Harding, who red while running away. Police said the 10 shots were exchanged in
six seconds. The ofcers knew that their lives were in jeopardy and at that point they returned re, Suhr said. The ofcers are permitted to re until they think the threat has ended. A gunshot-detection system used by San Francisco police also concluded that Harding shot rst, Cmdr. Mikail Ali said as he played audio for reporters of the 10 shots red. Suhr did not release the names of the ofcers, who have been put on standard paid leave as the incident is under investigation. In April, Harding was released from a Washington state prison after he served 22 months for attempting to promote prostitution involving a 14-year-old girl in King County, said San Francisco police Lt. Hector Sainez. Harding was in violation of his parole by being in San Francisco, Suhr said. Harding was a person of interest in last Wednesdays shooting death
of Tanaya Gilbert, 19, in South Seattle, Sainez said. Family members said Gilbert was several weeks pregnant. Three other people were also injured in that shooting. Seattle police Det. Mark Jamieson told The Associated Press he could not conrm that Harding was linked to those shootings. Rose Bankston, Gilberts aunt, told The Seattle Times late Sunday that Gilberts mother, Chekel Cox, had been told by Seattle police that ballistics tests would be conducted on a .45-caliber pistol recovered after the San Francisco incident to see if it was used in the killing of Gilbert. We have a gun. However, I cant conrm that is indeed the same weapon, Suhr said Monday. Ballistics, DNA and gunshot residue exams will be done to see if that gun recovered by investigators late Saturday is also the same rearm Harding red at police, the
chief said. A gun ew out of Hardings hand some 15 feet after he was shot, Sainez said. Police retrieved a rearm later thanks to cell phone video taken after the shooting was posted online showing a man wearing a gray-striped hooded sweat shirt picking it up and running off with it. I applaud the courage of these witnesses to come forward in such a volatile environment, Suhr said. They conrmed that the suspect red upon the ofcers before they returned re. Meanwhile, a makeshift memorial created for Harding continued to grow as frustrated Bayview-area residents and community leaders questioned the officer-involved shooting. They believe no one will call them out and hold them accountable, and thats the situation were trying to change, said Jeremy
Miller, co-director of SF Education Not Incarceration. Witness Henry Taylor, 54, recalled the shooting. The bullets ew. He was shot viciously. He lay there and bled in front of everybody, Taylor said. It was traumatizing. Suhr, who oversaw the Bayview area for the Police Department and helped cut homicides in half before becoming police chief, said he was sensitive to residents concerns. Just one incident like this is such a huge setback to what our community policing efforts have been, Suhr said, adding that ofcials will try to show the community the shooting occurred as police say. Supervisor Malia Cohen, who represents the area where the incident occurred, said she intends to review the results of the internal police investigation. She also said a town-hall meeting will be held Wednesday to discuss the incident.
San Francisco to shut courtrooms, lay off 200

Census: carpooling down in Bay Area counties
SAN JOSE Census data show that participation in carpooling in California has declined over the past 30 years despite hundreds of millions of dollars spent on programs to increase the practice. A report showed that Santa Clara County has seen an especially large dip in carpooling, dropping from 14 to 10.1 percent over the past three decades. Three other San Francisco Bay Area Counties San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa also showed drops in carpooling from previous years.
SAN FRANCISCO The San Francisco Superior Court announced Monday that its laying off more than 40 percent of its staff and shuttering 25 courtrooms because of budget cuts. Presiding Judge Katherine Feinstein said the actions were necessary to close a $13.75 million budget decit caused by state budget cuts. She said the cuts mean it will take many more hours to pay a trafc ticket in person, up to 18
months to nalize a divorce and ve years for a lawsuit to go to trial. The civil justice system in San Francisco is collapsing, Feinstein said. Some 200 of the courts 480 workers will be let go by Sept. 30, including 11 of 12 commissioners who preside over a variety of cases. And she said it could get worse if optimistic revenue projections dont materialize by January. The future is very, very bleak for our courts, Feinstein said at a Monday press conference. Feinstein said criminal cases would remain
largely unaffected because of constitutional guarantees of speedy trials. Every other type of court, though, is facing signicant cutbacks. The San Francisco courts arent the only courts facing cutbacks, only the most dramatic. The Judicial Council, which manages the judicial branchs budget, will decide Friday whether to cut funding of local courts by 8.8 percent or about $305 million. Other courts are considering unpaid furloughs for workers, shorter hours for clerks and other costcutting measures. None are going as
far as San Francisco, but the budget woes have caused discord within the judiciary. The Alliance of California Judges was formed almost three years ago by judges unhappy with the Judicial Councils fiscal management. In particular, the Alliance is demanding administrators scrap plans for a new computer system projected to cost $2 billion to fully install state wide. Instead, court administrators are proposing delaying the project for a year, which would save $100 million.

STATE
Internet sales tax ballot language OKd

By Adam Weintraub
SACRAMENTO Online retailers can start gathering signatures for a referendum to overturn Californias new law that requires more of them to collect sales tax from customers in the state, ofcials said Monday. Attorney General Kamala Harris on Monday approved ballot language for the measure to overturn the so-called Amazon tax. Supporters must collect nearly 505,000 valid signatures to put the measure before voters as soon as June 2012. Online retailers must collect sales tax if they
are engaged in business in the state, which usually requires having a physical presence in California. Lawmakers passed a bill in June to expand the denition to include sister companies or marketing afliates with a presence in the state, saying the change would bring in $200 million in taxes that the state is owed but cannot collect. Retail giant Amazon.com Inc. and other online retailers cut ties with thousands of California afliates and have refused to collect the taxes. They have argued that forcing them to collect hundreds of different taxes and tax rates across the nation is a burden and that a streamlined national approach is needed. Now that its approved, theyll begin gathnever about himself, Feiger said of her clients reaction to the verdict. Colver faces up to 12 years in prison. Although he was convicted of both counts, they are alternative charges meaning he cannot be separately sentenced for each. On Friday, during deliberations, jurors sent three notes to Judge Jack Grandsaert including requests for further explanation of the differences between the counts and the denition of cruelty. They sent another Monday morning, asking for clarication of cruel punishment before announcing eight minutes later there were verdicts. During the two-week trial, jurors heard from prosecution experts including three doctors who concluded the childs injuries could not be accidentally self inicted. Defense witnesses, including an expert on how a body moves, disputed the conclusions and said the active toddler could have climbed on top of the range, turned the heat knob and dangled into the oven. es. Private equity stakes returned 25.3 percent and real estate returned 10.2 percent through March 31, the most recent data available. The real estate portfolio didnt hit its target for returns, almost entirely because of weak performance in housing and land development investments. In all, the gains helped boost the funds value to $237.5 billion, up from $200.5 billion a year ago. Assets fell as low as $165 billion in 2009, after a 2008 drop in the stock market and global credit freeze cut the funds portfolio value by tens of billions of dollars. The fund still has not returned to its pre-recession peak of about $265 billion, Dear said. The states second-largest pension fund, which covers teachers and school administrators, announced even larger gains. The California State Teachers Retirement System posted a 23.1 percent return for the scal year, its highest in a quarter-century. Thats nearly twice the 12.2 percent gain the
ering signatures, said Steve Merksamer, a Sacramento attorney who represents the campaign committee backing the referendum. Backers of the Internet tax include California retailers that lose business because the online players effectively offer a discount by not charging the tax, as well as online retailers who have physical stores in California and are required to collect the tax on Internet sales. One retail group suggested that the referendum will be challenged in court. Regardless of whether the courts nd this referendum to be constitutional, which is certainly in question, there is no doubt that Californians will not be bullied or fooled by The emergency room doctor who rst treated the boy, along with two other physicians, pointed to the multiple multi-directional seconddegree burns on both the childs legs coupled with the absence of injury on his hands and feet as a sign he didnt crawl in himself. Feiger had told jurors they will never know exactly how the boy did so but that not all suspicious childhood injuries are a result of criminality. Colvers multiple stories to authorities played a large role in the prosecutions case. On Dec. 28, he called his girlfriend home from work to take the boy to the Seton Medical Center emergency room. He remained in the car but the boys mother told medical staff he believed the child had used an empty box to climb onto and into the stove while he slept. After waking, he heard the boy whimpering and later discovered the marks on his leg. On Dec. 30, while in the county jail, he told a previous year, but CalSTRS, too, is clawing back from a 25 percent loss in 2008-2009. Fund ofcials say the system eventually will need more money, and its unrealistic to expect such booming returns to continue. The Legislature will have to address the longterm funding problem because, unlike CalPERS, the teacher retirement system cant unilaterally increase the amount of money the state pays to cover retirement benets. Without legislative approval for increased contributions, even given this past years impressive performance, CalSTRS would need a more than 20 percent investment return each year for the next four years to achieve full funding in 30 years, an impractical expectation, chief executive Jack Ehnes said. Long-term projections at CalSTRS suggest the system will fall $56 billion short of the money it needs to meet all its benet obligations over the next 30 years, and the longer the state waits to make changes, the higher that number is likely to go.
Amazon as it does whatever it takes to get a special tax advantage at the expense of California small businesses, jobs and taxpayers, the California Retail Association said in a prepared statement. The chairman of the State Board of Equalization said the approval marks the start of a battle between law-abiding businesses and scofaw companies. This is a question of equity and fairness, said chairman Jerome Horton. Will out-ofstate companies have to pay their fair share and contribute to the essential services of California, or can they exploit Californias consumer market without contributing to Californias infrastructure? Daly City investigator he had preheated the oven for a frozen pizza and, while in the bathroom, heard his son banging a hand against the door. He lifted the child inside the oven but the boy squirmed out of his grasp and touched the heated coils. During trial, Feiger said the rst version was closer to the truth but that Colver really didnt know what happened while sleeping. His girlfriend told him to make up a story for authorities because any explanation would be better than none at all, Feiger said. Her worry that child protective services would take the boy plus prodding by law enforcement led to a a perfect storm for a false confession, Feiger told jurors during closing arguments. The child was discharged from the hospital after a few days but Chang said he will have permanent scars. Solid performance in the past two scal years puts some wind in our sails, but it doesnt make up for a lost decade of returns stemming from the recessions that hit at each end of the past decade, said CalSTRS chief investment ofcer Christopher Ailman. CalPERS estimated the shortfall for the state workers and 3,000 local government units covered under its plan at $49 billion as of June 2009, the most recent data available. Its unclear how the California funds compare with other big pension players on recent investment returns. Several large public pension funds recently have posted double-digit investment returns, but for scal years that ended March 31. But 20-percent-plus returns are clearly not sustainable, said Christopher Thornberg, a founding partner with Beacon Economics. Stocks bounced back sharply in the past year after falling too far in the aftermath of the recession, and still may give back some of those increases as nancial markets continue to adjust to the economic situation, he said.

called the outcome sad and, while she plans to appeal the verdict, said it will be permanently attached to her client. Whatever the jury says is the truth whether it is or it isnt, Feiger said. The jury foreperson said they never accepted Colvers stories, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. Were just pleased the jury saw through the defense, Wagstaffe said. At prosecutor Shin-Mee Changs request, Colver was remanded into custody pending his Aug. 16 sentence. He had been free on $100,000 bail. Colvers concern was always about his son,

While we cant assume that well sustain this high level of earnings, we have averaged a net return on investments of 8.4 percent for 20 years, said Joseph Dear, the funds chief investment ofcer. Dear warned that uncertainty is much higher for the year ahead because investors cant count on continued scal and monetary stimulus from the federal government, which faces a potential problem with its debt ceiling. I dont want expectations to become inated, Dear said in a conference call with reporters. The gain for 2010-2011 was due largely to a 30.2 percent annual return on the funds stock portfolio, but other investments also saw increas-

we have healthier baby formula and cooling socks to wear in hot weather. Most Americans wrongly credit the Apollo moon program with creating Earthly spinoffs of new technology that it never did: sticky Velcro, non-sticky Teflon and orange-powdered Tang all things used by NASA but not invented there. Yet the space shuttle program often doesnt get recognized for its science and technology, NASA says. And shuttle-based science will come to an end when Atlantis carrying mouse stem cell and vaccine experiments comes home on Thursday. Of course spending nearly $200 billion on any advanced technology will pay off in various unplanned ways. And one scientist, a prominent critic of manned spaceight, says NASAs claimed benets are more hype than hope. Bob Park, a professor of physics at the University of Maryland, debunker of science myths and author of the book Voodoo Science, said much of NASAs claims of science and earthly technological benefits is advertising hokum that helps companies sell items as being developed in space. If you trace them, theres nothing there, Park said. Teflon, Tang, nothing was invented in space. Space used it. Park points to a decades-old NASA spinoff report as supporting his skepticism. But scientists who have worked with and for the space agency say research during the 10 years the shuttle was developed and the 30 years it has own has paid off. Theres been a good deal of science learned on the shuttle, said MIT astronautics and health technology professor Laurence Young, who has sent experiments on seven shuttle flights, mostly on how weightlessness affects the body. Science wasnt the reason the shuttle was built, said Rice University physicist Neal Lane, who was the head of the National Science

Space shuttles science brought payoffs to Earth

Rapper Ja Rule sentenced in tax return case
NEWARK, N.J. Rapper and actor Ja Rule was sentenced Monday to more than two years in federal prison for failing to le income tax returns, and said a combination of youthful inexperience, bad advice and an inability to manage fame and fortune lead to his nancial troubles. I in no way attempted to deceive the government or do anything illegal, he said, minutes before being sentenced in a New Jersey federal court. I was a young man who made a lot of money Im getting a little choked up I didnt know how to deal with these nances, and I didnt have people to guide me, so I made mistakes. The multiplatinum-selling artist, whose Ja Rule real name is Jeffrey Atkins, admitted in March that he failed to pay taxes on more than $3 million that he earned between 2004 and 2006 while living in Saddle River. Although he pleaded guilty to three counts of unled taxes, he admitted he hadnt led for ve years, according to U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman. Ja Rule was sentenced in New York City last month to up to two years in prison after he pleaded guilty to attempted criminal weapon possession. The case stemmed from a gun found in his car in 2007. Police said they stopped Ja Rules $250,000plus Maybach sports car for speeding and found a loaded .40caliber semiautomatic gun in a rear door. The gun wasnt registered. He was charged under a New York law that generally bars people from having rearms outside their homes or workplaces.

A fourth Brigham Young University student also was hospitalized with less serious injuries and two others were treated and released, said Phil Sahm, a spokesman for the University of Utah Health Care Burn Center. Several others were transported to nearby hospitals. Their conditions werent immediately available. The students were dropping Molotov cocktail-type devices into a mine shaft when a cooler lled with gasoline either spilled and caught re or blew up prematurely, Utah County sheriffs Lt. Darren Gilbert said. The accident happened about 11 p.m. Saturday in a remote area of Utah about 80 miles south of Salt Lake City.
FBI: U.S. couple kidnapped Israeli to force divorce

TRENTON, N.J. A New Jersey rabbi and his wife surrendered to the FBI on Monday on charges they abducted an Israeli man, beat him and threatened to bury him alive if he didnt give his wife a religious divorce. The case against David and Judy Wax in U.S. federal court marks a strange twist in a chain of events that started with a divorce dispute in Israels Rabbinical Court over the victims refusal to give his wife a get, an Orthodox Jewish divorce document permitting a wife to remarry. Absent from U.S. court documents is the name of the victim, Yisrael Briskman, who apparently ed Israel after refusing to grant a divorce. But his name shows up in a 2008 public notice from the High Rabbinical Court of Jerusalem, placed in religious publications in Israel and abroad. The notice deems it forbidden for the Jewish community to do business with Briskman, extend kindness to him or give him a place to stay. It also calls upon the public to notify the court of Briskmans whereabouts. Following a brief federal court appearance Monday, David and Judy Wax were released on $500,000 bond pending trial. A federal magistrate in Trenton, N.J., has ordered the two to surrender their passports, but declined a prosecution request that they wear electronic monitors while free.

However, given the delicate state of the economy and the auto manufacturing business, we think the idea has to be carefully considered.

s the price of gasoline hovers around $3.50 a gallon, its hard to imagine who wouldnt be intrigued by the idea of cars so efcient they get an estimated 56 mpg. Thats the populist hook that comes with the Obama administrations proposal to substantially raise Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards by 2025. We like the idea of requiring improved mileage for the nations cars and trucks, and always have. Such a move reduces our

But the truth is, the industry has always reacted this way whenever the topic of increased CAFE standards has been raised. Nevertheless, the question is a valid one, particularly given that taxpayers still have a signicant nancial stake in the success of American automakers. Discussions between the administration and automakers about changes in CAFE standards have only just begun. As they continue, we hope the debate will be guided by a pragmatic view of this nations economic reality.
Caught up in the excitement

came a little late to the party, at least what I expected to be a party. Even though the only thing I know denitively about soccer is what the ball looks like and that it needs to get past the goalie, I was aware of the Womens World Cup match. I was also aware that the American team kicked ass and was pegged as the undoubted winner going into Sundays battle. Japan who? But other than that, I admit soccer illiteracy and was actually surprised to hear we were on the verge of making history with a three-time win. Have we won before? I asked an exasperated pal. Dont you remember Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain? The shirt? The photos? she said. Wasnt that the Olympics? I replied. Im lucky I didnt get a spontaneous lesson in boxing for that. In any case, there were no plans to watch the match despite my soccer fanatic coworker telling me that if I had any sense of patriotism Id meet him at the civic center in San Francisco to cheer on team America. Im sure Ill see the highlights, I offered. Besides, I continued in feeble defense, although I dont follow soccer, I am aware of the magnitude of the competition. Its not like those people who didnt even know who was in the World Series or that the Giants won last year. He didnt buy it and I didnt buy the idea of standing around the street watching a sport that didnt involve bats. Thats just silly. Yet, Sunday came and I found myself watching. Cheering even. And, admittedly, asking dumb questions on par with the Australian woman I recently overheard interrogating her dinner companion just prior to a baseball game. Why dont they let that nice Wilson fellow play more often? Why do they only let him come in at the end? she asked. Really, that doesnt seem fair. Im sure she could have schooled me on the ner points of soccer. I like to think I wouldnt ask if I didnt suddenly care, although my questions probably teetered on the pointless for the more sportsinclined viewers in my midst. Why does that one with the short hair even wear a headband? Seems silly. And what are those FIFA vests. No, no, I know what FIFA is I just dont understand why some are wearing them and some arent. Why does the clock run up instead of down? Who gets to make the penalty kicks? How long is overtime? And the real doozy. Hey, werent we supposed to win this thing? But we didnt win and while I cant even come close to pretending to feel the heartache written across the faces of the players and certainly in the minds of devout fans, I was disappointed. Id gotten hooked. Sure it was the nal half of the nal match. Sure Id never watched any of the previous games. Sure the only players names I knew where the ones I half-heartedly heard bandied about ESPN or emblazoned on the back of jerseys. Yet, in that small window of time Id become a edgling fan. Granted, a fan without a much knowledge and a fan who still has no idea what the Bronze Boot is although I was happy to see Abby Wambach receive the honor. Chances are good, though, Ill lose any credibility the moment I share that while the American fans mourned, I was trying to gure out why the women bestowing the medals looked like they were dressed in airline attendant outts. The only way to redeem myself now is to ask the most important question when do I get to watch this all again?

Letters to the editor

No difference between parties
Editor, The big con is on! During the national debt limit negotiations, neither party has mentioned the governments clients who milk our nation to death. For example, the two parties only talk about raising taxes or cutting Medicare benets, while the other way is to force the price of health care and drugs down in the interest of saving our nation from bankruptcy. George W. Bush protected the interests of drug companies through Medicare part D, while President Obama protects the interests of health care insurance companies through Obamacare. There is no difference between the two parties when it comes to the bottom line: protect the large and politically powerful companies at the expense of the public. The very fact that these huge government clients who feed on our tax money are not forced to be at the negotiation table and to be part of the solution through shared sacrifices is the clear sign of their ultimate victory and of the irrelevance of our political parties. spread, there is no respect for the food at all. Most of the food is not consumed and much of it is thrown away untouched. Lets put some common sense into these programs, not just feelings. Feeling good about yourself does not substitute for doing good. We can feed the children that need and will accept it for one-quarter of the cost. Trying to make it sound like Eisenhower was responsible for a 90 percent tax rate is misleading and irrelevant. This rate was established under FDR, the last Democrat to turn a recession into a depression.
Debt, cost of war and taxes

Editor, I always find it amazing how so few Americans understand the gravity of the fiscal problem we face or the drivers behind our deficits and revenue. This lack of understanding usually portrays itself in letters to the editor where suggestions like ending the wars, cutting military spending or raising taxes on the rich are the solution du jour. To those people Id like to offer a quick lesson on federal budgets and point out that the wars being fought today amount to $200 billion annually. Our entire military non-war budget is less then $600 billion annually and letting the tax rates expire on the top 1 percent of wage earners would theoretically generate another $70 billion per year. Although unrealistic, you could eliminate the military altogether, allow the tax increases on the rich to expire and youd still have a budget deficit in 2011 of nearly $800 billion! Contrary to many on the tax cuts cause our deficit problem crowd, we had higher revenues in 06, 07 and 08 (post Bush tax cuts) than in any time during the Clinton Internet Boom period with higher tax rates (by more then $300 billion in each year). How do you explain that? In 2010 alone, we are expected to spend $2 trillion more then we did in 2000 ($1.7 trillion versus $3.7 trillion). Yet many still cling to the notion of higher taxes and the wars as the source of our problem? With this level of understanding, we are in worse trouble then we know.

The conservative American Dream

Editor, I love it when the same old conservative writers who write letters to the editor moan and complain about Democrats, liberals and Obama. Their complaints give them something for which to live. It is so sad that these writers political party is trying to undermine the American economy to defeat Obama in the next election. For what? The benefit of billionaires, Wall Street and oil companies. These writers always preach about having a lean and mean government. They resent it when the government reaches out with a hand instead of just a middle finger to help the poor and working class. These conservative writers think that the trickle-down theory is the American Dream. If you believe in their version of the American Dream, you have to be asleep.

School lunches
Editor, This is in response to the letter from Bruce Hamilton in which he deplored the fact that 25 percent of parents cannot afford to send their children to school with a lunch (A response to a most irresponsible column in the July 15 edition of the Daily Journal). Or at least he made it sound like that. I dont begrudge children food if they need it, but Bruce should see the waste that this program generates. In one Santa Clara School, and there is good reason to expect that this is wide-

Greenhaus said. So we have little reason to have faith theyll x a country as big as Italy. In the U.S., the debt limit debate remains at a standstill in Washington. The Treasury Department says the limit must be raised by Aug. 2 or the government risks defaulting on its debt. But a deal needs to be reached soon, possibly as early as Friday, to have legislation ready for President Barack Obama to sign by the deadline. Rating agencies warned last week that the impasse puts the countrys triple-A credit rating grade at risk. House Republicans are preparing to vote Tuesday on their plan that would lift the debt ceiling but also slash spending. The proposal includes a balanced-budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution. President Barack Obama pledged to veto the bill. The latest delay in reaching a deal is beginning to weigh on markets. U.S. banks stocks, which would get hit hard in the event of a default, fell sharply. Bank of America slid 2.8 percent, to $9.72, the biggest drop for the 30 stocks in the Dow average. The bank recently announced an $8.5 billion settlement with a group of mortgage bond investors and reports earnings Tuesday. Its the only major bank trading in the single digits.
NEW YORK Not even a string of better earnings reports could stave off worries about debt on Monday. Europes banking troubles and an impasse over lifting the U.S. governments borrowing limit helped drag down stock markets in the U.S. and Europe. Gold rose above $1,600 an ounce as investors sought safe places to park money. The S&P 500 index dropped 10.70 points, or 0.8 percent, to close at 1,305.44. The Dow Jones industrial average and Nasdaq composite index gave up their gains for the month. The Dow fell 94.57 points, 0.8 percent, to 12,385.16. The Nasdaq fell 24.69 points, or 0.9 percent, to 2,765.11. The results of stress tests on European banks released last week came under deeper scrutiny. Eight banks failed the test aimed at measuring how well they would hold up under additional nancial strain. But the tests didnt take into account how banks would fare if Greece or Italy defaults, says Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG. Greece and Italy are among the countries most at risk of defaulting on their debts. Italy not only has Europes third largest economy but also the worlds third-largest bond market at 1.8 trillion euro ($2.5 trillion). So far European ofcials have failed to stabilize a country as small as Greece,

IBM stock beats estimates

By Jordan Robertson
SAN FRANCISCO IBM Corp. raised its income guidance for the year on Monday as earnings in the latest quarter increased 8 percent because of growth in all three of its major product categories. The results show the strength of the 100-year-old companys efforts to link its mainframes and other computing hardware with its newer businesses, software and services. Those two categories bring in the bulk of IBMs income. Signings of new contracts for services increased a welcome sign for Wall Street after a decline last quarter. But the company faces questions about whether its prot increases are sustainable. Some analysts worry about
increased competition, specifically in outsourcing, the biggest part of IBMs services business. Investors gave the numbers a tepid endorsement. The stock rose 2 percent. Net income was $3.66 billion, or $3 per share, in the second quarter compared with $3.39 billion, or $2.61 per share, a year ago. Excluding items, IBM earned $3.09 per share, ahead of the $3.02 per share analysts expected. Revenue increased 12 percent to $26.7 billion, ahead of the $25.4 billion analyst estimate. New contract signings in services increased 16 percent over last year to $14.3 billion. They had declined 14 percent in the rst quarter, raising fears about the robustness of IBMs pipeline of new deals. IBM has stopped including this gure petition from companies like Juniper Networks Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. in the market for computer-networking equipment, including the routers and switches that direct the ow of data trafc. Cisco said the cuts will cost it $1.3 billion in severance and termination benets. The company, which is based in San Jose, plans to take the charge over several quarters. It will take $750 million of that, including $500 million for the early-retirement program, during the current quarter.
in its earnings releases; it can now only be found deep in the charts accompanying the results. Instead, IBM insists that its backlog of services deals that are already in the pipeline is a better predictor of future revenue. The backlog is now $144 billion, $15 billion higher than last year. Guidance for 2011 calls for at least $13.25 per share, excluding items, up from the previous estimate of $13.15 per share. But the companys history makes it subject to high expectations. IBM, which is based in Armonk, N.Y., has not only consistently raised its guidance, but it has also taken the rare step of setting a specic long-term prot goal $20 per share in operating earnings by 2015. So investors now expect steady guidance increases. rivals like Unilever PLC, Reckitt Benckiser and Henkel AG. Analysts were uncertain that a competitor would want to acquire Clorox, which does most of its business in the mature U.S. markets and is not a big player in faster-growing overseas markets. The stockholder rights plan will take effect if a person or group acquires a 10percent stake in Clorox in a transaction not approved by the board. If that happens, the company will issue one stock purchase right for each share outstanding on July 28. Icahn bought a 9.4-percent stake in Clorox in December.

Cisco to lay off thousands of employees
SAN FRANCISCO Cisco Systems Inc., the worlds largest maker of computer-networking gear, is reducing its work force by about 9 percent to reduce costs and raise prots as the company tries to become more competitive. Mondays announcement to cut 6,500 of its roughly 73,000 worldwide employees follows up on a plan disclosed in May to eliminate thousands of jobs. Two-thirds will come through layoffs, and the rest through an early-retirement plan. The company said 15 percent of employees at or above the level of vice president are being eliminated. Cisco has long been a high-growth company, but after rebounding from the recession, its sales started stalling about a year ago. Critics have long said that Cisco tries to compete in too many markets. CEO John Chambers acknowledged that criticism in April and sent employees a memo vowing to take bold steps to narrow the companys focus. Cisco killed off its Flip video camcorder business that month, and it reorganized its management structure a month later. Mondays cuts represent Ciscos latest attempt to simplify. Cisco is also suffering from rising com-
Clorox spurns Icahn buyout bid

NEW YORK Clorox Co. is turning down billionaire investor Carl Icahns offer to buy the company, saying the price of $76.50 per share is too low. The Oakland, Calif., company also said Monday that it is adopting a poison pill shareholder rights measure to ward off the bid from Icahn, who is the largest shareholder in Clorox. The company said it is committed to its current strategy, saying its own plans are the best way to create value for its shareholders. On Friday, Icahn Enterprises LP offered to buy Clorox for $10.2 billion in cash. Rather than urge the company to take the unsolicited offer, Icahn said Clorox should shop itself to competitors, saying it could get a better offer from U.S. companies like Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive Co., and Kimberly-Clark Corp., or overseas

AUSTIN, Texas Video game company Electronic Arts is expanding its EA Sports division and adding 300 jobs in Central Texas. Gov. Rick Perry on Monday joined company ofcials for the announcement in Austin. EA currently employs about 450 people in the Austin area. Perry says the new hires will include 150 full-time workers and 150 contract employees. The jobs will include software engineers, game designers, artists, programmers and senior technical positions. Perry touted the video gaming industry in Texas, ranked No. 2 behind California, with $25 billion in overall annual revenue.

Notre Dame de Namur names new lacrosse coach

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Derek Pedrick
The Notre Dame de Namur lacrosse team has announced another change at the top. Derek Pedrick, last seasons top assistant for the Argonauts, has been named the new head coach for Notre Dame. He takes over for Steve Dini who left the program last month after two seasons.
Im obviously super excited to have the opportunity to work at an institution like NDNU, Pedrick said. Being one of only two NCAA Division II colleges in California is certainly encouraging. I feel like we have a ton of potential and opportunity here with the resources that we have. With the school doing what theyre doing, getting the enrollment back to where it needs to be,
the future is really bright for NDNU. Pedrick comes in with coaching experience at all three levels of the NCAA. This is his rst head coaching job. Prior to NDNU, Pedrick was an assistant coach at Siena College in Loudonville, N.Y. Hes also assisted at The College of Wooster in Ohio and Trinity College in Hartford, Conn. A 2005 graduate of
Springfield College in Massachusetts, Pedrick played four season in the mideld, recording 72 goals and 15 assists. As the top assistant at NDNU, Pedrick had his hand in everything for the Argonauts. And hes excited about the next level. We just want to create a culture where everyone works hard, respects the game and
ultimately succeeds on and off the eld, Pedrick said. I think Im excited for the challenge, I think its going to be a smooth transition. Im excited for the opportunity. The Argonauts are coming off a championship season in the Western Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association, where they nished 7-1.

Soccer boom? Not so fast

ets begin by not overstating the case. Predictions of a soccer boom in America have done more to hamstring the development of the worlds game here than all those well-organized, well-meaning parents who became youth coaches with no more than a vague idea of how its played. And just so were clear, there will be no explosion this time, either. After the U.S. women stunned Brazil and just about everybody else in a quarternal match at the Womens World Cup, I wrote that if Americans didnt fall in love with soccer after that, well, maybe they never would. They did. For exactly a week. But thats how plenty of love affairs go: torrid one day, indifferent the next. Plenty of Americans already love soccer. Anybody who doubts that should check out the exhibitions being played here this month featuring several of Europes top clubs among them, Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid. Most of their games will draw crowds that make last weeks MLB All-Star exhibition look like the softball game at a company picnic. The overnight TV rating for the nale was 8.6, more than tripling Sundays marquee event for the boys the British Open yet finishing as the second most-watched womens soccer game ever, trailing the 1999 World Cup nal against China. If you didnt get enough of the U.S. women last week, dont worry. Theyll be on the late-night and early morning TV circuit this week. Trafc on social media was more eye-popping still, generating at its peak more tweets-per-second than either Britains royal wedding or the announcement of Osama Bin Ladens death. But theres no need to waste time wondering whether soccer will ever be as popular on these shores as the big three of football, baseball and basketball. It wont, for the next decade at least, for reasons well get to below. Since long-term relationships are built on learning, the better question is what Americans learned that they didnt know after all the previous predictions of booms that never materialized: two previous U.S. womens cup wins (1991 and 1999), playing host to the mens cup in 1994, the creation of domestic leagues for both sexes.. If were being optimistic, the answer is this: We nally saw a U.S. team playing a style that we could call our own. If asked, every coach and ballplayer will concede a team learns more from a loss than a win. So it was again Sunday, when a determined Japanese team used the same grit and

Convey is a MLS All-Star

Chris Wondolowski wont be the only San Jose Earthquake shaking things up at the Major League Soccer All-Star game. For the second straight year, Bobby Convey has been named to the leagues showcase game, which will take place July 27 at Red Bull Arena in New York.

U.S. returns to warm welcome

By Ira Podell
NEW YORK One by one, tired and disappointed members of the U.S Womens World Cup team trudged off the bus and were greeted with cheers and waves from appreciative fans who didnt seem to mind a bit that they came up short of a championship. About 24 hours after the Americans squandered a pair of late one-goal leads and were beaten in penalty kicks by Japan in the tournaments nal game Sunday, they arrived from Germany to Newark, N.J., and heard the rst rounds of applause Monday.
From there they took a police-escorted bus ride into Manhattan and encountered a few hundred fans who waited on the sidewalk in sweltering heat to welcome them back to friendly turf. Really humbling, and Abby Wambach truthfully its probably brought my spirits up more than anything else could have, Abby Wambach said. I am so disappointed for my teammates, myself. I am so disappointed for our country because I really feel like we had
it. It was so close. Coming home to this kind of reception is truly one of the best things that has ever happened. It started before they even gathered their luggage at the airport. Fans met them there, and often stuffy security personnel posed for pictures instead of worrying about patdowns. Many passers-by who encountered a crowd of reporters and television cameras in front of the teams New York hotel stuck around once they heard the squad that captured the nations attention the past few weeks would soon be arriving.

Resignations wont affect 2012 Olympic plans

LONDON Security preparations for the 2012 Olympics will not be harmed by the resignations of Londons top two police ofcers a year before the games, the British government said Monday. Scotland Yard chief Paul Stephenson and Assistant Commissioner John Yates, Britains top anti-terrorist officer, have resigned amid an intensifying scandal involving phone hacking and alleged police bribery. Both indicated that they quit to
ensure the police force had stable leadership and no distractions in the run-up to the first Olympics in London since 1948, which have a 757 million-pound ($1.2 billion) security budget. And Olympics minister Hugh Robertson insisted that much of the security framework was already in place before counterterrorism minister Pauline Neville-Jones left her job in May . I am not concerned about the resignations in relation to Olympics security, Robertson said Monday in statement to The Associated Press. keeper Faryd Mondragon of the Philadelphia Union will be making their rst All-Star appearance. Midelders Shalrie Joseph of the New England Revolution, Brad Davis of the Houston Dynamo and Kyle Beckerman of Real Salt Lake will be making a repeat appearance Joseph will be on his eighth AllStar team in his ninth MLS season, all with the Revolution. Davis is on his fourth All-Star team and Beckerman his second, after his rst American women and the rest of the world in terms of resources, organization and even quality athletes. She had already laid the groundwork for her squad to rely less on athleticism and more on technique; to play the way the best of the rest of the world does by moving the ball quickly and accurately under pressure. That Sundhage moved the strategy from the training ground to the pitch for the biggest match of their careers shows how much faith she had in this bunch. Even more than American football, soccer is a game of possession and nishing a few scoring chances.. The U.S. women succeeded at the rst task, but came away with nothing too many times from the opening minute of the
Pauline Neville-Jones made a massive contribution to get this in a good place. The appointment of Chris Allison, as the Met assistant commissioner in charge of all of this, has also really driven it forward. He is the point man on Olympic security and I am 100 percent condent that we are where we ought to be. Sebastian Coe, the organizing committee chairman for the London Games, also said he wasnt concerned about the resignations. The security plans for London are robust, Coe told the AP in an selection last year. Also joining the MLS All-Stars will be Sporting Kansas Citys Matt Besler, who received the most textmessage votes. 2011 MLS All-Stars Goalkeepers: Tally Hall (Houston Dynamo), Faryd Mondragon (Philadelphia Union) Defenders: Corey Ashe (Houston Dynamo), Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City), Geoff Cameron match through the final penalty kick. Even so, they came away with something. Up until now, the closest thing to a coherent playing style any American squad displayed on a world stage is what the English used to call hit and hope. It involves defending countless attacks as if your life depended on it, then booting the ball up the eld and hoping a teammate latches onto it and somehow beats a crowd of defenders to score. But this one time, even in a loss, the U.S. women stuck their foot in the door and let their countrymen glimpse a wider world of possibilities. Given their legacy and continuing success, its only tting that
interview. The Met Police are across this in a very detailed way. Coe said organizers are also working with the Home Ofce and 19 other agencies on security, adding that he held meetings on the issue earlier Monday. There is continuity with the Met Police, he said. Jonathan Evans, the director of domestic spy agency MI5, has said that the Olympics represent a signicant target for terrorist groups. London was hit by terrorists the day after London was awarded the Olympics in July 2005, with home(Houston Dynamo), Bobby Convey (San Jose Earthquakes), Sean Franklin (LA Galaxy), Jamison Olave (Real Salt Lake), Heath Pearce (Chivas USA), Tim Ream (New York Red Bulls). Midfielders: Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), David Beckham (LA Galaxy), Brad Davis (Houston Dynamo), Jack Jewsbury (Portland Timbers), Shalrie Joseph (New England Revolution), Nick LaBrocca (Chivas USA) theyd be the rst to break through soccers glass ceiling in America. The guess here is that youll see the benets as soon as next summer, at the London Olympics, and not just because the U.S. women will be out for vengeance. They never lacked for motivation and theyve already learned the games most important lesson. Now its the mens turn. Its been a black mark on their record that a nation of 300 million has yet to produce even one striker good enough to sit on the bench of world powers like Spain, Brazil, Argentina, England or the Netherlands, let alone play in the rst team. Anyone who thinks theyre getting their fair share of elite athletes should consid-

Womens World Cup final watched by 13.5 million
BRISTOL, Conn. The Womens World Cup final has earned the highest television rating for any soccer game on an ESPN network. Japans comeback to beat the United States in a penalty shootout Sunday drew a 7.4 fast national rating. The previous high was a 4.0 for last years U.S.-Algeria mens World Cup match. With an average of almost 13.5 million viewers, it was the sixth most watched soccer telecast ever in the United States. The record is still held by the 1999 Womens World Cup nal, which had an 11.4 rating. Ratings measure the percentage of all households with televisions tuned into a program.
TOKYO This Japanese ower bloomed just when the country needed it most. A nation reeling from months of tragedy united in joyous celebration Monday after its womens soccer team nicknamed Nadeshiko for a pink mountain ower won the World Cup by beating the United States. Fans decked out in the teams dark blue colors hugged and sang in Tokyo as they watched the players lift the World Cup on live TV broadcasts from Germany. On Tuesday morning, thousands of joyous, ag-waving fans turned out to greet the team as they arrived home, and two re trucks shot out celebratory arches of water over the teams aircraft as it approached the terminal at Tokyos Narita Airport. Goalkeeper Ayumi Kaihori was the rst to come through the terminal. The rest of the team, wearing their gold medals, followed as cameras flashed and fans shouted Omedeto Gozaimasu congratulations. Prime Minister Naoto Kan called the victory the greatest gift to the nation, especially to the residents of the northeast coast most devastated by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. The twin disasters left nearly 23,000 people dead or miss-
ing and caused partial meltdowns at a nuclear power plant that added to the tragedy. The Nadeshiko mountain ower is believed to be a symbol of femininity in traditional Japanese culture. But some fans said the players deed the traditional feminine role with their tough playing style. The team, which had to come back twice from one-goal decits, demonstrated courage by playing a diehard match even when they were on the back foot, Kan said in the statement carried by Kyodo news agency. Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa said the victory will encourage those working to help Japan bounce back. Im delighted. The team showed great perseverance and sent a good message toward recovery from the major disaster, Kyodo quoted Kitazawa as telling reporters in Aomori. Japans players used the disasters as motivation throughout the tournament, watching pictures of the devastation from their homeland before some matches. The team displayed a banner reading To our Friends Around the World Thank You for Your Support before the nal.

While many players will rejoin their Womens Professional Soccer teams, collectively this group is already looking ahead to the 2012 Olympics in London. While they still need to qualify for that tournament, they are expected to and will be looking to repeat their 2008 gold medal. This one will sting, Heather OReilly said. I dont think we will ever forget this loss, but hopefully we have another chance. With the Olympics right around the corner, were going to be back into our training regimen right away. Nothing will take away all the hurt from Sundays loss except a World Cup victory in four years. Its all how the media wants to spin it, Solo said. Everyone talked about 2007 for me, World Cup

Several members of the national squad played for the former professional team sponsored by Tokyo Electric Power Co., owner of the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant. Japan became the first Asian nation to win the Womens World Cup, beating the U.S. 3-1 in a penalty shootout after a 2-2 draw. Bars and restaurants that showed the game live in central Tokyo were experience and wanting redemption in 2011. But everyone failed to remember that we won the Olympic goal in 08. So when it comes to World Cups and Olympics, nobody seems to compare them. I want a World Cup trophy four years from now and I want an Olympic gold medal, but its completely different. Most of the players managed to smile some upon their arrival, even while talking about the bitter defeat. Before they get back on the eld, there will still be public appearances on tap as the excitement of the World Cup winds down.

In Shibuya, a neighborhood known for its youth pop culture, dozens of police kept a small group of boisterous fans from wandering out into trafc. At some point we are going to all need some rest, Carli Lloyd said. Its been pretty much three, four years of just going straight.

Both girls proudly wore Stars and Stripes dresses. At the end of the day, we did better than the last World Cup, Lloyd said. We made it to the nals after not having been there since 99. We have to keep things in perspective. We created a buzz back here. We lifted womens soccer around the country and even around the world.
Arkansas coachs son arrested on drug charges

HUNTINGBURG, Ind. The son of Arkansas football coach Bobby Petrino has been arrested in Indiana on drug-related charges. The Huntingburg Police Department in southern Indiana said 23-year-old Dominic R. Petrino, of Fayetteville, Ark., was arrested at 12:06 a.m. Monday. He was charged with driving while intoxicated, possession of marijuana, illegal possession of prescription drugs and possession of paraphernalia. It was fun. It was just a sad ending, but at the end of the day we are second and that is a pretty big accomplishment. They will likely realize that and appreciate it more as time goes on. For now, the wounds are still fresh, but sticking together as a team has helped somewhat in the rst day following the loss. Its obviously been a big disappointment, Heather OReilly.

moved to Lenaghans table and gambled more than half his stack with a pair of queens against Stephane Albertinis ace-king. A river queen gave Albertini a straight, but Laborda made a full house and screamed in delight as he took the tournament chip lead with roughly 12 million. Labordas rst confrontation with Giannetti came with three clubs on the board including a queen, plus two red nines. Giannetti checkraised Laborda all-in, and Laborda called with a king high ush. Giannetti ipped over pocket queens for a full house moving up to 12.6 million chips and dropping Laborda to 3.5 million. A few minutes later, Giannetti again moved all-in after a river paired the board and gave a third club. Again, Laborda called this time with an ace-high ush but was eliminated when Giannetti showed a full house, deuces over sevens. Laborda didnt help himself during other hands, failing to bet with strong starting hands and playing cards others would normally fold without a second thought. Laborda nished 36th, winning $242,636. Giannetti had a tournament-high 14.3 million chips at a dinner break, with plans to play four more hours on Monday before returning Tuesday. Wearing a turquoise hooded sweatshirt with shaggy light-brown hair and a long beard, Lenaghan was relatively quiet through the days rst 111 hands, though eliminated one opponent and doubled anothers chips after calling a hand with a 50-50 chance of winning. John Esposito, who has cashed seven times in the main event, moved all-in with a king high plus straight and flush draws, and Lenaghan called with pocket threes his ush draw negated by Espositos queen of hearts. Esposito caught a king on the river for a higher pair, and doubled to more than 3 million in chips. It was his second double-up in about 10 minutes. Thats a good place to be, Esposito exclaimed to a contingent of buddies watching from the stands. Esposito, a 57-year-old former nightclub owner who gambles professionally on poker and sports, has 24 cashes at the series since 1987, winning a gold bracelet at a limit Texas Hold em event in 1999. Players were expected to play 10 hours, or until only 18 entrants remained Monday night. to the postseason. The growth of the game is enabling the other schools to compete at a very high level and bring in very high level student athletes in as well, he said. We need to hit the recruiting just as hard.

Report: Killing of former NFL player within policy
BAKERSFIELD Authorities say a California sheriffs deputy did not violate department policy when he fatally shot a former NFL player after a scuffle at a convenience store. The Bakersfield Californian reports that the Kern County Sheriffs Incident Review Board issued its finding Monday, a day after NAACP members questioned whether the shooting of David Lee David Turner Deacon Turner was justified. The 56-year-old one-time Cincinnati Bengals running back died July 10. He was shot twice after authorities say he hit a deputy with a bag containing two cans of beer. Turners adult son and daughter were arrested when they lashed out at law enforcement officials upon learning of the death. Turner played with the Bengals from 1978 to 1980. He had long arrest history after his playing career was finished. we lost to Dominican last year and thats going to give our kids a lot of motivation throughout this summer and throughout next year to really work hard and compete and to realize you cant really take any team for granted and you have to play one game at a time. Thats just the nature of the game, especially nowadays.
LAS VEGAS A 26-year-old New Orleans man nursed a chip lead at the World Series of Poker main event on Monday, then found others with big stacks at his table after a Brazilian professional quickly picked up big pots but shipped away his chips over the course of a few big hands.

But Matt Giannetti, 26, of Las Vegas, moved past Lenaghan in chips after convincing Hilton Laborda of Manaus, Brazil to battle twice when ushes were no good to Giannettis full houses. As Lenaghans opponents looked to wrangle some of his stack, he hoped to win enough hands to reach the nal nine. Youve got to maintain your stack and make sure not to lose too many chips, but also try to use the stack to your advantage to try to pick up some more chips so you can hopefully make it there, Lenaghan told The Associated Press.

with the plan told the Associated Press. The people said the clubs were told Monday that topics would include the 2011 NFL calendar, rookie salary system and guidelines for player transactions. They spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the process is supposed to remain condential. Any tentative agreement also must be approved by the players, of course, including star quarterbacks Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees and the other plaintiffs in a federal antitrust suit against the league. Members of the NFLPA executive committee and representatives of every team were heading to Washington by Wednesday, in preparation for possible decisions on re-establishing a union and signing off on a tentative pact with owners. Atallah said the players would be gathering with the hope they have something to look at, and with the hope we can move forward on this. Owners locked out players on March 12, when the old collective bargaining agreement expired, leaving the countrys most popular professional sports league in limbo.

Juan Rivera followed with a soft dribbler to the right side on a hit-and-run, moving Kemp to third, but Vogelsong got out of it with some nifty defense of his own. James Loney hit a grounder back up the middle which Vogelsong bobbled momentarily before recovering and throwing to shortstop Brandon Crawford, whose relay to rst just beat Loney to complete the double play. The Dodgers had two runners on with no outs in the sixth but Kemp grounded into a double play and Vogelsong got Rivera to pop out to shortstop to end the threat. Jeremy Affeldt and Ramon Ramirez nished up after Vogelsong departed. Sandoval connected on Chad Billingsleys rst pitch in the bottom of the fourth. The third baseman also singled and scored in the sixth. Billingsley (8-8) yielded ve runs and nine hits in 5 1-3 innings. He had allowed only four runs in his previous four starts but his ERA jumped to 4.07 after his shaky outing against San Francisco. Crawford was in the game after the Giants lost Miguel Tejada to a lower abdominal strain in the third inning. The veteran inelder bobbled Rafael Furcals sharp grounder for an error, then slid to the turf. A team trainer and manager Bruce Bochy came out to check on Tejada, and the three walked off the eld together. NOTES: Billingley didnt walk a batter for the rst time this season. ...

Armstrong goes to court

NEW YORK Lance Armstrongs attorneys say illegal government leaks of grand jury information have sullied the cyclists reputation, and have asked a court to order federal agents to discuss their contacts with the media. In a 20-page notice of alleged violations led Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, lawyers for the seven-time Tour de France winner cited more than a dozen articles in many media outlets from May 2010 through last month about an ongoing grand jury investigation into whether Armstrong used performance-enhancing drugs in violation of U.S. law. The cyclists attorneys argue that only someone in the government could be responsible for the leaks, and a judge should order
the government to explain why it should not be held in contempt. In a last resort, the lawyers said, the court could force journalists to reveal their sources. The leaker in this case has, from the beginning, acted with the obvious intent of legitimizing the governments investigation of a national hero, best known for his role in the ght against cancer, the court papers said. Each leak has been designed to propagate public support for this investigation by smearing Armstrong and tarnishing his reputation. The tactical nature of these leaks cannot be ignored as it strongly suggests an underlying partisanship inherent in government agents. Armstrongs lawyers accused The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated and CBS 60 Minutes of reporting illegally leaked information.
SAN FRANCISCO Ryan Vogelsong pitched into the seventh inning and combined with two relievers on a seven-hitter, leading the San Francisco Giants to a 5-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night. Pablo Sandoval had three hits, including his ninth homer, for NL West-leading San Francisco, which has won eight of 10. Nate Schierholtz added two hits and an RBI, continuing his torrid pace set after manager Bruce Bochy moved him into the cleanup spot last week. Cody Ross two-run double in San Franciscos four-run sixth helped the Giants break it open. Juan Uribe had two singles against his former Pablo Sandoval club but the Dodgers hit into two double plays and were shut out for the 10th time this season while losing their fth straight against their division rivals. Vogelsong (7-1), coming off his rst AllStar appearance, scattered seven hits over 6 23 innings, nishing with ve strikeouts and a walk while lowering his ERA to 2.02. The journeyman right-hander already had the lowest ERA in the NL but hadnt logged enough innings to qualify. Four days shy of his 34th birthday, he nally had the top spot, just ahead of Atlantas Jair Jurjjens. The Giants gave him plenty of support. Schierholtz had an RBI single in the big sixth inning and is batting .417 (10 for 24) in five games while batting cleanup. San Francisco is 5-0 in those games.

China coach plays down teams chances at Shanghai

SHANGHAI China head swimming coach Yao Zhengjie has downplayed his teams chances of winning multiple golds for the home crowd at the world championships, saying his swimmers are concentrating on the 2012 London Olympic.

However, at the 2009 worlds in Rome, the team started to show signs of a resurgence, winning 10 medals overall, including four golds. Of course, the more golds we win in Shanghai, the better, Yao said. But I know it will be difcult.

Sun has set the fastest time in the world this year in the event at 3:41.48, just 0.05 faster than Parks best. We want him to be more experienced through this competition and focus more on the Olympics next year, Yao said. We arent putting much pressure on him to break the world record (in the 1,500 meters). Yao said China is expecting to win a gold in the womens 200meter buttery, which features both Liu and 2008 Olympic silver medalist Jiao Liuyang.

Cycling chief: positive test not such a bad thing
S A I N T- PAU L - T RO I S CHATEAUX, France The head of cyclings governing body says a positive drug test or two at the Tour de France wouldnt necessarily be a bad thing as it would suggest anti-doping efforts are working. International Cycling Union president Pat McQuaid tells The Associated Press that if cyclings premier race went two years without a positive test, then youd probably say there must be something going wrong here. McQuaid spoke Monday on the Tours second rest day before riders set off toward the Alps and the Paris nish on Sunday. McQuaid says the fact that unheralded Thomas Voeckler is leading with several riders close behind suggests the sport is becoming cleaner, however he doubts cheating will ever be totally eradicated. The Tour, which just a few years ago was plagued by numerous doping cases and suspicions of cheating, has just one positive test in this edition. Alexandr Kolobnev dropped out of the Tour last week after the UCI said a urine sample collected from the Russian rider on the day of Stage 5 tested positive for hydrochlorothiazide a banned diuretic that can also be used as a masking agent. McQuaid said the fact that unheralded Thomas Voeckler of France is leading the Tour with several riders close behind suggested the sport is becoming cleaner, but he doubts cheating will ever be totally eradicated.

Obesity hits more boomers than others in U.S.

By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON Baby boomers say their biggest health fear is cancer. Given their waistlines, heart disease and diabetes should be atop that list, too. Boomers are more obese than other generations, a new poll nds, setting them up for unhealthy senior years. And for all the talk of 60 is the new 50 and active aging, even those who arent obese need to do more to stay t, according to the Associated PressLifeGoesStrong.com poll. Most baby boomers say they get some aerobic exercise, the kind that revs up your heart rate, at least once a week. But most adults are supposed to get 2 1/2 hours a week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity things like a brisk walk, a dance class, pushing a lawn mower. Only about a quarter of boomers polled report working up a sweat four or ve times a week, what the average person needs to reach that goal. Worse, 37 percent never do any of the strength training so crucial to ghting the muscle loss that comes with aging. Walking is their most frequent
form of exercise. The good news: Walk enough and the benets add up. I have more energy, and my knees dont hurt anymore, says Maggie Sanders, 61, of Abbeville, S.C. She has lost 15 pounds by walking four miles, three times a week, over the past few months, and eating better. More boomers need to heed that feel-good benet. Based on calculation of body mass index from selfreported height and weight, roughly a third of the baby boomers polled are obese, compared with about a quarter of both older and younger responders. Only half of the obese boomers say they are are regularly exercising. An additional 36 percent of boomers are overweight, though not obese. The nation has been bracing for a surge in Medicare costs as the 77 million baby boomers, the post-war generation born from 1946 to 1964, begin turning 65. Obesity with its extra risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and arthritis will further fuel those bills. Theyre going to be expensive if they dont get their act together, says Jeff Levi of the nonprot Trust
Most baby boomers say they get some kind of exercise,but many dont do it enough to have any meaningful effect on their health.
for Americas Health. He points to a study that found Medicare pays 34 percent more on an obese senior than one whos a healthy weight. About 60 percent of boomers polled say theyre dieting to lose weight, and slightly more are eating more fruits and vegetables or cutting cholesterol and salt. But it takes physical activity, not just dieting, to shed pounds. Thats especially important as people start to age and dieting alone could cost them precious muscle in addition to fat, says Jack Rejeski of Wake Forest University, a specialist in exercise and aging. Whether youre overweight or
just the right size, physical activity can help stave off the mobility problems that too often sneak up on the sedentary as they age. Muscles gradually become abbier until people can nd themselves on the verge of disability and loss of independence, like a canoe that oats peacefully until it gets too near a waterfall to pull back, Rejeski says. He led a study that found a modest weight loss plus walking 2 1/2 hours a week helped people 60 and older significantly improve their mobility. Even those who didnt walk that much got some benet. Try walking 10 minutes at a time two or three times a day, he suggests, and dont wait to start. I dont think theres any question the earlier you get started, the better, says Rejeski, who at 63 has given up running in favor of walking, and gets in 30 miles a week. If you allow your mobility to decline, you pay for it in terms of the quality of your own life. When it comes to diseases, nearly half of boomers polled worry most about cancer. The second-leading killer, cancer does become more common with aging. Its the unknown nature, that it can come up without warning, says

Big brouhaha over obscure Medicare board

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
WASHINGTON Remember the debunked death panels? A new Medicare board that Republicans are calling a rationing panel could become the next boogeyman in the nations hyperbolic health care debate. But dont look for the Independent Payment Advisory Board to start slashing anytime soon. IPAB doesnt even exist yet. Although the new health care law authorized the board to control excessive Medicare cost increases, President Barack Obama can wait until after the 2012 election to set it up. IPAB is forbidden by law from rationing, but that hasnt stopped critics. Nearly every health industry lobbying group is pushing to repeal it, as
are some consumer advocates. IPAB has the power to force Medicare cuts if costs rise beyond certain levels and Congress fails to act. Medicares own experts predict IPAB cuts will be needed in 2018 and 2019. If that happens, the law explicitly prohibits IPAB from rationing care, shifting costs to retirees, restricting benets or raising the Medicare eligibility age. Yet the uproar is getting louder. Senior citizens will lose control over what they actually get in Medicare, GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann told conservative bloggers in Minneapolis last month, because a politically appointed 15-member board thats unelected and unresponsive to the will of the people called IPAB will make the decisions about what care we get and what
care we dont. After their own plan to essentially privatize Medicare for future retirees ran into trouble, Republicans became more vocal about IPAB. At a news conference of the GOP Doctors Caucus, Georgia Rep. Phil Gingrey suggested the board could leave a trail of bodies. Under this IPAB ... a bunch of bureaucrats decide whether or not you get care, such as continuing on dialysis or cancer chemotherapy, said Gingrey, an ob-gyn physician. Ill guarantee you, when you withdraw that, the patient is going to die. IPAB does represent an unusual delegation of power by Congress to what would be a new executive branch agency. But the administration doesnt seem to be rushing to take advantage.
Just this spring, Obama had proposed beeng up IPAB to squeeze Medicare harder. But as opposition grew, and prominent House liberals and AARP voiced their own objections, the administration played down that idea. In recent testimony before two House committees, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said IPAB is just a backstop, a failsafe. If Congress is actually paying attention to the bottom line of Medicare, IPAB is irrelevant ... and it never triggers in, she said. Obama hasnt made any moves to set up the new agency, said Sebelius, but has only consulted about possible board candidates. Those members would have to be conrmed by the Senate, a ght the administration may
be unwilling to pick when it cant even get Medicare chief Don Berwick approved. The more interesting question is whether it will ever get off the runway, said economist Robert Reischauer, one of the public trustees overseeing Medicare nances. Can they nd 15 people willing to serve under the conditions laid out in the legislation? Will the Senate conrm them? It wouldnt be the rst time cries of rationing forced Democrats to pull back. During the congressional health care debate, Sarah Palin denounced a plan to have Medicare pay for voluntary end-of-life consultations between patients and their doctors. Although the death panels accusation was discredited, the idea got dropped.

Study: Brain injury raises dementia risk

By Marilynn Marchione
PARIS A large study in older veterans raises fresh concern about mild brain injuries that hundreds of thousands of troops have suffered from explosions in recent wars. Even concussions seem to raise the risk of developing Alzheimers disease or other dementia later in life, researchers found. Closed-head, traumatic brain injuries are a legacy of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Body armor is helping troops survive bomb blasts, but the long-term effects of their head injuries are unknown. Other research found a possibly high rate of mild cognitive impairment, or preAlzheimers, in some retired pro-football players, who take many hits to the head in their careers. The studies, reported Monday at the Alzheimers Association International Conference in France, challenge the current view that only moderate or severe brain injuries predispose people to dementia. Even a concussion or a mild brain injury can put you at risk, said Laurie Ryan, a neuropsy-
What the people who have had a head injury and read this should do is to exercise and eat right and take their medicines and take their aspirin and do meditation to reduce stress reduce risk factors that are modiable.
Dr. David Cifu,national director of of physical medicine and rehab
chiatrist who used to work at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and now oversees Alzheimers grants at the U.S. National Institute on Aging. Dont panic this doesnt mean that every soldier or student athlete who has had a concussion is in danger. Pro-football players and boxers are almost a different species from us in terms of the repeated blows they take to the head, said William Thies, the Alzheimers Associations scientic director. It does mean you should try to avoid one, by fall-proong your home and wearing helmets and seat belts, he said. About 1.7 million brain injuries occur each year in the U.S. Troops also need to prevent any further harm, said Dr. David Cifu, national director of physical medicine and rehabilitation for the Veterans Health Administration.
What the people who have had a head injury and read this should do is to exercise and eat right and take their medicines and take their aspirin and do meditation to reduce stress reduce risk factors that are modiable, he said. The new study is a great start, but limitations in its methods mean that it cant prove a brain injury-dementia link, he said. More denitive studies are starting now but will take many years to give results. The veterans study was led by Dr. Kristine Yaffe, a University of California professor and director of the Memory Disorders Clinic at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. The Department of Defense and the National Institutes of Health paid for the work. Its by far the largest study of brain injury and dementia risk, she said. Its never been
looked at in veterans specically. Researchers reviewed medical records on 281,540 veterans who got care at Veterans Health Administration hospitals from 1997 to 2000 and had at least one follow-up visit from 2001-2007. All were at least 55 and none had been diagnosed with dementia when the study began. This older group was chosen because dementia grows more common with age, and researchers needed enough cases to compare those with and without brain injuries. Records showed that 4,902 of the veterans had suffered a traumatic brain injury, or TBI, ranging from concussions to skull fractures. Researchers dont know how long ago the injuries occurred. Many participants were Vietnam War vets and their injuries were during active duty. None were due to strokes - those cases were weeded out. Over the next seven years, more than 15 percent of those who had suffered a brain injury were diagnosed with dementia versus only 7 percent of the others a more than doubled risk. Severity of the injury made no difference in the odds of developing dementia. Its not just one kind of TBI or super-severe TBI that poses a danger, Yaffe said.
FDA favors innovative heart valve for the frail

By Matthew Perrone
WASHINGTON The rst articial heart valve designed to be implanted without major surgery appears to help patients who are too frail to undergo chest-opening surgery, according to federal health reviewers. The Food and Drug Administration posted its review Monday of a highly anticipated heart valve from Edwards Lifesciences that can be threaded into place through one of the bodys major arteries. Cardiologists hope this approach could offer a new option for patients
who arent healthy enough to undergo the more invasive open-heart surgery, which has been used to replace valves for decades. FDA says 20 percent more patients who received Edwards valve were living after one year than patients who received traditional medical care. However, scientists also said patients receiving the device had higher rates of stroke and bleeding in the brain. The agency will ask a panel of heart doctors to weigh in on these risks at a meeting Wednesday, though the agency is not required to follow the groups advice. Edwards will eventually seek FDA approval
to market its valve for patients who are healthy enough for open-heart surgery. But because the valve is an experimental therapy, it was initially studied for patients with no other options. Some 300,000 Americans have a diseased aortic heart valve, forcing the heart to work harder to squeeze blood through. Eventually the condition can lead to heart failure, blood clots and sudden death. More than 50,000 people a year undergo open-heart surgery to replace the valve, and thousands more are turned away, deemed too old or ill to survive the operation. The surgery involves sawing the patients breastbone in half, stopping the heart, cutting out the old valve and sewing a new one into place. Edwards Sapien transcatheter valve, which is already available in Europe, is threaded through a leg artery up to the heart and then propped open and wedged into the aortic opening, replacing the natural heart valve.
Edwards will make the case for approving its device based on a study that showed nearly 70 percent of patients with the valve survived at least a year, compared with only 50 percent of those without it. However, FDA reviewers point out that little is known about patient survival after two years and longer-term safety studies are still needed. By contrast, patients who receive heart valves through open-heart surgery have been documented to live for decades. FDA raises concerns that neurological side effects were more than three times higher among patients with the Sapien valve than for patients in the control group. Fourteen percent of patients with the valve experienced stroke, hemorrhaging or other brain-related problems. That compared to just 4.5 percent of patients who did not receive the valve. The FDA says these problems were actually probably underreported, since patients were assessed by a cardiology team rather than doctors specializing in brain injury.

Harry Forsha, 64, of Clearwater, Fla., and Mill Spring, N.C. Heart disease is the nations No. 1 killer, but its third in line on the boomers worry list. Memory loss is a bigger concern. On a scale of one to 10, seven or eight, is how Barry Harding, 61, of Glen Burnie, Md., puts it. Its more talked about now, Alzheimers and dementia. In fact, more than half of boomers polled say they regularly do mental exercises such as crossword puzzles. After Harding retires, he plans to take classes to keep mentally active. For now, hes doing the physical exercise thats important for brain health, too. He also takes sh oil, a type of fatty acid that some studies suggest might help prevent mental decline. Sanders, the South Carolina woman, says it was hard to make tness a priority in her younger years. When youre younger, you just dont see how important it is, says Sanders, whose weight began creeping up when breast cancer in her 40s sapped her energy. Now, I just know that my lifestyle had to change. The AP-LifeGoesStrong.com poll was conducted from June 3-12 by Knowledge Networks of Menlo Park, Calif., and involved online interviews with 1,416 adults, including 1,078 baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964. The margin of sampling error for results from the full sample is plus or minus 4.4 percentage points; for the boomers, it is plus or minus 3.3 percentage points. Knowledge Networks used traditional telephone and mail sampling methods to randomly recruit respondents. People selected who had no Internet access were given it free.
Obama threatens veto of cuts

By David Espo
WASHINGTON Courting confrontation and compromise alike, House Republicans shrugged off President Barack Obamas threat to veto legislation to cut federal spending by trillions of dollars on Monday while simultaneously negotiating with him over more modest steps to avert a potential government default. The Republican bill demands deep spending reductions and congressional approval of a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution in exchange for raising the nations debt limit. But Obama will veto it if it reaches his desk, the White House said, asserting the legislation would lead to severe cuts in Medicare and Social Security and impose unrealistic limits on education spending. In response, GOP lawmakers said they would go ahead with plans to pass the bill on Tuesday. Its disappointing the White House would reject this
commonsense plan to rein in the debt and decits that are hurting job creation in America, Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio said. By contrast, neither the administration nor congressional ofcials provided substantive details on an unannounced Barack Obama meeting that Obama held Sunday with the two top House Republican leaders, Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia. Obama said late Monday the two sides were making progress. Several Republicans said privately the decision to vote on veto-threatened legislation is paradoxically designed to clear the way for a compromise. They said conservatives would have a chance to push their deep spending cuts through the House, and then see the measure quickly die either in the Democratic-
controlled Senate or by veto. Barring action by Congress to raise the $14.3 trillion debt limit, the Treasury will be unable to pay all the governments bills that come due beginning on Aug. 3, two weeks from Wednesday. Administration ofcials, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and others say the result could be a default that inicts serious harm on the economy, which is still struggling to recover from the worst recession in decades. In a gesture underscoring the signicance of the issue, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced the Senate will meet each day until it is resolved, including on weekends. The two-pronged approach pursued by the House GOP follows the collapse of a weeks-long effort to negotiate a sweeping bipartisan plan to cut into future decits. The endeavor foundered when Obama demanded that tax increases on the wealthy and selected corporations be included alongside cuts in benet programs, and Republicans refused.
Phone-hacking scandal spreads

LONDON Scotland Yards assistant commissioner resigned Monday, a day after his boss also quit, and fresh investigations of possible police wrongdoing were launched in the phone hacking scandal that has spread from Rupert Murdochs media empire to the British prime ministers ofce. Prime Minister David Cameron called an emergency session of Parliament on the scandal and cut short his visit to Africa to try to contain the widening crisis. Lawmakers on Tuesday are to question Murdoch, his son James and Rebekah Brooks, the former chief executive of Murdochs U.K. newspaper arm. In a further twist, a former News of the World reporter who helped blow the whistle on the scandal was found dead Monday in his home, but it was not believed to be suspicious. Murdoch shut down the News of the World
tabloid after it was accused of hacking into the voice mail of celebrities, politicians, other journalists and even murder victims. The crisis has roiled the upper ranks of Britains police, with Mondays resignation of Assistant Commissioner John Yates Scotland Yards top Rupert anti-terrorist ofcer followMurdoch ing that on Sunday of police chief Paul Stephenson over their links to Neil Wallis, an arrested former executive from Murdochs shuttered News of the World tabloid whom police had employed as a media consultant. The government quickly announced an inquiry into police-media relations and possible corruption. Home Secretary Theresa May said that people were naturally asking who polices the police, and
announced an inquiry into instances of undue inuence, inappropriate contractual arrangements and other abuses of power in police relationships with the media and other parties. The Independent Police Complaints Commission also said it was looking into the claims, including one that Yates inappropriately helped get a job for Wallis daughter. Wallis, former executive editor of News of the World, was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications. Yates said he had done nothing wrong. I have acted with complete integrity, he said. My conscience is clear. In another development, police conrmed that a second former News of the World employee was employed by Scotland Yard. Alex Marunchak had been employed as a Ukrainian language interpreter with access to highly sensitive police information between 1980 and 2000, the Metropolitan Police said.

DATEBOOK / LOCAL
jumped off the bridge into the Bay. The reghters pulled the man from the water, put him on a Coast Guard boat and shipped him off to a local hospital. The next day, the water rescue crew was called to the bridge again on reports of a suicidal man attempting to jump into the Bay. When reghters pulled the man from the water, they discovered a familiar face. It was the same man from the day before, said Mike Miller, a four-year Foster City reghter. When Miller rst joined the Foster City Fire Department, he knew about the citys extensive system of lagoons but gured he would spend most of his time ghting res on dry land. This summer, however, he has spent a lot of time in the water with re partner Larry Moore, including the recent rescue effort of a capsized boat oating in the Bay. That report turned out to be false, however, and the capsized boat was just a oating bag of garbage. Sometimes, too, reghters will actually sh crooks out of the water attempting to ee police, Weber said. The engine crew from Station 28 in Foster City can deploy just about anywhere and can operate in the Bays choppy waters or the about 12 miles of calm waters that make up the San Mateo-Foster City lagoon system, Weber said. In San Mateo, the re department is more of a shore-based operation, said Battalion Chief Michael Keefe. Firefighters in San Mateo attempt water rescues initially with the least amount of risk, typically by launching rescue rings at victims rst before getting in the water. They also use a device called a ResQmax, that uses compressed air to re a rescue line and otation device that can reach more than 100 yards. The device can essentially reach ing for the sharing of personnel and joint staff meetings. A temporary re station would open July 1, 2012 and work for a year. Collected data would be presented to the city councils in May 2013 at which point further consolidation would be considered. A full merger could then take place starting in July 2013, said Central County Deputy Chief Mark Ladas. Six property options were put forward for the possible location of the station with preference given to a three-acre Skyline site with an estimated $800,000 cost and San Francisco Public Utilities Commission-owned land at a cost of $600,000. The costs cover a temporary working station with facilities to house equipment and reghters, Ladas said. The Skyline site is preferred since it could be a long-term home to a central station and offers the ability to have the station set back from the surrounding neighborhood. That option would require Burlingame to cover its share of $240,000, which could be done through savings, said City Manager Jim Nantell. Under the consolidation, the four-city department would have a $25.1 million annual budget with Central County Fire cities covering 50 percent, San Bruno contributing 30 percent and Millbrae putting in 20 percent. Councilman Michael Brownrigg was interested in seeing some exibility in the percentage paid by each city noting the needs could change in future years. In addition, should a central merger occur, Brownrigg thought a citys vote should match its contribution to the budget. If San Bruno, for example, contributed 30 percent, its vote would be equally weighted. across every stretch of the lagoon that weaves through the two cities. It takes more than just having a boat or rescue rings to complete water rescues, it also takes state certication. Foster City has 12 reghters who have passed extensive state certification classes, including swift water rescues, and can be deployed anywhere in the county and state, Weber said. Other county agencies, including Redwood City, also have water rescue capabilities. The San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce also handles water rescues on parts of the coast. Local agencies also work closely with the U.S. Coast Guard and will request helicopter rescues if reghters cannot reach a victim, Weber said. The San Mateo County Harbor District can also assist in water rescues. Kite surfers who launch off Coyote Point are often in need of water rescues, Weber said. They will go out then the wind dies and they get stuck. The current is so swift that they often cannot swim back to shore, Weber said. It will usually be someone from shore who makes the 911 call if a kite surfer does not return in a timely manner, he said. That was the case with Mondays incident with the husband calling for help once his wife did not return right away. Navigating the Bay can be tricky because of the shallow, choppy waters. Even in the middle of the Bay, the water is only 7 feet deep in some spots, Weber said. On some points along the shoreline, the water is only 3 feet deep, he said.

RESCUE
reghters are trained. Local firefighters handle about 20 water rescue calls a year, but there has been an uptick this summer and added attention given to water rescues after firefighters in the city of Alameda watched a man kill himself by walking out into the Bay. Alameda reghters said they were prevented from rescuing the man on Memorial Day because of their fire department policy and were forced to watch a private citizen pull the dead victim from the water. Fireghters on this side of the Bay, however, have had a water rescue policy in place for about 15 years and will take to the water in an instant for a variety of scenarios, said Foster City Battalion Chief Nick Weber. Recently, re crews were called for a water rescue after a woman launched her car into the San Mateo-Foster City lagoon near Hillsdale Boulevard. The call came in just before 3 a.m. on a June morning and when crews arrived on scene the car was nearly 70 feet from shore. Typically, re crews avoid getting in the water but, on this morning, the woman driving the car, who was already safe on shore, said her husband and child were still stuck inside the vehicle. Within moments, two Foster City reghters suited up in dry suits, hopped in an inflatable rubber boat, a 12-foot Zodiac, and rushed to the submerged vehicle. The woman turned out to be lying, however, and no water rescue was actually necessary. Two days later, the same water rescue crew was called to the San MateoHayward Bridge when a man reportedly

expressed interest in sharing services but wanted to test the system rst. On Monday night, plans for sharing services for a one-year test run were shared with the Burlingame City Council. Administrative services could be merged as soon as October with a temporary station up and running in July 2012. The Burlingame City Council moved forward with the proposal with a 4-1 vote, with Councilwoman Cathy Baylock dissenting. I think we need to do this temporary station right now, said Vice Mayor Jerry Deal. It will pay for itself. It may be a great idea; it may not be a great idea. Thats what we need to nd out. Councilwoman Ann Keighran said her support was only because it was a pilot. She had many questions about maintaining quality as well as the neighboring cities being able to fund their share. Mayor Terry Nagel agreed, but noted with a nancial outlook that includes more than $700,000 in budget cuts in the next two years, money-saving options need to be discussed. Her support, she noted, wasnt a guarantee that a merger would occur. Discussions this spring relied on setting up a temporary station to test the program for about a year. The city councils of the other three cities must also meet to approve the deal and there needs to be conversations with labor groups to make sure everyone is on board. Under the proposed timeline, an administrative merge would occur Oct. 1 allow-
Such an arrangement would save an estimated $395,000 for Burlingame, $595,000 for Millbrae, $295,000 for Hillsborough and $95,000 for San Bruno, said Ladas. These savings assume salary and benets would be paid at the level offered by Central County. Savings come from administration sharing and closing two stations. For Millbrae and Burlingame, closing stations accounts for the majority of the savings. Burlingame and Hillsborough merged re departments to form Central County in 2004. Talk of expanding the shared services to include Millbrae and San Bruno began in 2007. Under the proposal, stations on Hillside Drive in Burlingame and Crestview Drive in Millbrae would be closed. A new station would then be placed somewhere within the three-mile distance between the two stations, Dennis Haag, re chief for Millbrae and San Bruno, wrote in staff reports. The governance model currently used by Central County would be extended. Each city council would provide two elected ofcials to serve as members of the re board and city managers would rotate responsibilities of department oversight every two years. At the same meeting, the council was scheduled to consider expanding the offleash hours for dogs in Washington Park to include 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for a threemonth trial. The item was tabled until the Aug. 15 meeting. The council also tabled talking about cellphone usage guidelines.

TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2011
During the next year, youre likely to discover two new ways to put your talents and abilities to profitable use. Properly exploited and developed, these resources will multiply your resources and earnings.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Although you have
ample smarts upon which to draw, you could be indifferent to what your common sense is telling you and, instead of using it productively, squander your brains input. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If youre putting a social gathering together, select friends who get along with
one another. Even one misfit in the group could spoil the enjoyment for everybody else. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Placing faith in your talents and capabilities will help make your lot in life a heck of a lot easier regardless of what you do. Conversely, if you dont think youre hot, you wont be. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Regardless of how good your intentions are, you must still be extremely careful about how you handle your close friends. One or two could still read something in your demeanor that you dont mean. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be careful not to make it look like youre gratifying your personal ambitions by using your friends to get back at someone you dislike and want to punish. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You should make
concessions instead of causing complications. If you fail to yield to those with whom youre involved, they arent apt to give an inch, either. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If youre taking over a situation that another was handling poorly, make sure you do things in a manner that doesnt make it look like his or her mistakes are yours. Pluck them out as soon as you can. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You might find out that you havent been on as firm a footing in your financial affairs as you thought you were. Unless you take steps to correct it now, things could get worse. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Even if most people you encounter seem to be bending over backward to assist you, one person in particular wont fit into this classification. She or he could be trying to block
your path. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you find yourself involved with people against whom you hold an old grudge, try to forgive and forget. Youre only hurting yourself by keeping the memory alive. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Know when to turn off the input of others regarding a money matter. You have a knack for finances, so dont let the negativity of others cause you to go against your conclusions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you are indifferent to your own resourcefulness and ingenuity, achieving your goals may be difficult. Impressive attainment isnt likely to happen by ignoring your smarts. COPYRIGHT 2011 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Heat wave hardest on nations poor

By Juan Carlos Llorca
HORIZON CITY, Texas The cinderblocks that make up Maria Teresa Escamillas new home will do little to shield her from the triple-digit heat that has been scorching West Texas. She has no electricity yet, and the roof is not properly attached, leaving the interior exposed to the elements. Escamilla has been living in an airconditioned apartment that she can no longer afford. But when the lease ends in two weeks, she has to move a day she dreads because it means shell have no escape from the searing temperatures. This is what I have to look forward to, she said. There will be no air conditioning and an unbearable number of mosquitoes at night. With much of the nation in the grip
of a broiling heat wave, few people are hit as hard as the poor, and few places are poorer than the ramshackle communities along the Texas-Mexico border known as colonias. The misery was widespread Monday, with the worst conditions blanketing a broad band from Texas to Minnesota and Dakotas. Seventeen states issued heat watches, warnings or advisories. And the heat index easily surpassed 100 degrees in many places: 126 in Newton, Iowa; 120 in Mitchell, S.D.; and 119 in Madison, Minn. The high temperatures were nearly certain to persist for the entire week. Forecasters expected the extreme discomfort to spread soon to the East Coast. In towns large and small, the withering heat was cruelest to those who could not afford air conditioning. Built at the edge of the desert, the colonias often lack electricity and run-

ning water. People bought the land before zoning regulations were adopted, hoping that utility services would follow.
To nance her house, Escamilla, who is 62, had to take out a loan against her funeral services and buy building materials recycled from demolition sites in Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso. Norma Salazar, who shares a tiny trailer home with her husband and six children in Horizon City, on the outskirts of El Paso, has to rely on an evaporative cooler, a cheap alternative to air conditioning that sucks the hot, dry desert air through a mesh of watersoaked bers. But it only cools half of the trailer, and when the heat climbs above 100, not even that. When it gets really hot, we turn on the fans and stay inside, Salazar said. Going to a library or a mall to keep cool is not an option because the car doesnt have air conditioning. So getting there is even worse than just staying inside, not moving, she added.

Petraeus hands over his command in Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan Gen. David Petraeus handed over command of the Afghan war to Marine Gen. John Allen on Monday as the U.S. and its international partners prepare to withdraw over the next few years. Petraeus, widely credited with turning the tide in Iraq, left to take over the CIA with his signature counterinsurgency strategy having yet to deliver a safer Afghanistan or push the Taliban to reconcile with the countrys Western-backed government. Allen is known for helping turn Sunni insurgents against al-Qaida in Iraq in one of that wars most pivotal stages. In Afghanistan, he will be tasked with the overseeing the start of the American troop withdrawal this month even as insurgents step up the violence and attacks on high-prole Afghans, including the assassination last week of President Hamid Karzais powerful half brother and the slaying of a close Karzai aid on Sunday. Allen said the drawdown of U.S. forces and the transition of some areas to Afghan control this week does not mean international forces are easing up in their campaign to defeat the Taliban insurgency, though he acknowledged the ght wont be easy. It is my intention to maintain the momentum of the campaign, Allen said at the handover cer-
emony in the Afghan capital. There will be tough days ahead. I have no illusions about the challenges.
Killing spree claims 30 in Syria

BEIRUT The discovery of three corpses with their eyes gouged out set off a sectarian killing spree that left 30 people dead in a chilling sign that the Syrian revolt against President Bashar Assad is enaming long-simmering religious tensions. The opposition accused the presidents minority Alawite regime of trying to stir up trouble among the Sunni majority to blunt the growing enthusiasm for the four-month-old uprising. The protesters have been careful to portray their movement as free of any sectarian overtones. The killings over the weekend in the central city of Homs undermine the peaceful nature of the revolution and serve its enemies who want to turn it into a civil war, said Rami AbdulRahman, the director of the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Homs-based activist Mohammad Saleh said the violence began Saturday after the corpses of three Alawite government supporters were dumped in Homs with their eyes gouged. The men had gone missing two days earlier. On Sunday, six bodies from various sects were found in the city, apparently in revenge attacks, Saleh said. Pro-government Alawite thugs called shabiha then went on a rampage, another activist said, opening re in predominantly Sunni neighborhoods of Homs.
